| xavierpwns | !wifi put that into terminal? | 00:00 |
| bazhang | Serveck: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:00 |
| Pelo | !flash | Serveck | 00:00 |
| ubotu | Serveck: 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 | 00:00 |
| SonicEpsilon | if you're using firefox it'll show a small bar | 00:00 |
| Serveck | terminal is the equivelent of command line in windows | 00:00 |
| HoboBen | JustJaden - it is cool indeed. That command just downloaded wine and installed it automatically | 00:00 |
| bazhang | xavierpwns: read that link | 00:00 |
| mactaylor | exfat is the new filesystem | 00:00 |
| JustJaden | what other commands can I use? | 00:00 |
| Serveck | Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. | 00:01 |
| Serveck | i cant install it | 00:01 |

| bobdole | Hi all. I have a problem with a new Ubuntu 7.10 install - I go through a full installation and reboot, only to find that it does not boot. There is an ALERT! message once it stops hanging on the loading bar. | 00:01 |
| Serveck | will not pop up, is that due to me running 64 bit? | 00:01 |
| JustJaden | where can I find info on them? | 00:01 |
| Pelo | !wifi | xavierpwns | 00:01 |
| ubotu | xavierpwns: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:01 |
| _Andrew | Wow that tutorial on flash is way too complicated, I just had to go into firefox | 00:01 |
| crimsun | bobdole: reboot into the desktop cd and regenerate the initramfs. | 00:01 |
| mactaylor | !exfat | 00:01 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about exfat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:01 |
| bazhang | JustJaden: there are a ton; some reading might be in order before you ask here | 00:01 |
| bobdole | crimsun: How do I regenerate the initramfs? | 00:01 |
| Pelo | mactaylor, what is exfat ? | 00:01 |
| === carlzenox is now known as lol | ||
| JustJaden | Ok, it's done now. Is there another step involved? What will this application do for me in the future, and how do I access it? | 00:02 |
| mactaylor | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT | 00:02 |
| SonicEpsilon | Are there any good Sega Megadrive emulators for ubuntu or would that need to be wine'd? | 00:02 |
| Pelo | mactaylor, short summary would have been appreciated | 00:03 |
| HoboBen | JustJaden: To use it, find a windows executionable and right click and select Open With > Wine Windows Emulator | 00:03 |
| Serveck | argh, i wish i knew i'd run into the problems by installing AMD64 version | 00:03 |
| bazhang | JustJaden: you should read up on the wine configurations | 00:03 |
| === lol is now known as carlzenox | ||
| JustJaden | yes sir. | 00:03 |
| mactaylor | sry | 00:03 |
| JustJaden | Thanks for all the help. This is the only OS I have now, so I have to deal with all the problems | 00:03 |
| bazhang | is the first command wineconfig? forgot now | 00:03 |
| Pelo | mactaylor, sudo apt-get install gparted, you can then open it from the admin menu, there should be a list of FS availabe from the file menu | 00:04 |
| dudesmn | umm | 00:04 |
| HoboBen | bazhang, JustJaden: winecfg | 00:04 |
| bazhang | JustJaden: winecfg from the terminal the first time before you use it thanks HoboBen | 00:04 |
| dudesmn | how do you login as sudo | 00:04 |
| MakotoTheKnight | I have a problem with my Java -- I tried to install 1.6.0_05 today, but that turned out to be a mistake. Anyway, I can't get java commands to run or compile java files. Any help in this area would be appreciated. | 00:05 |
| bazhang | dudesmn: why do you want to do that? | 00:05 |
| dudesmn | i need ot install something | 00:05 |
| Pelo | dudesmn, you don't you use sudo before commands | 00:05 |
| bazhang | dudesmn: no need for that just sudo apt-get install packagename | 00:05 |
| dudesmn | then how would i install the graphics driver | 00:05 |
| dudesmn | the ubuntu article does not apply to mee | 00:05 |
| bazhang | dudesmn: you use the restricted drivers manager for that | 00:06 |
| dudesmn | restricted drivers manager wont load | 00:06 |
| xavierpwns | aghhhh i need help getting ubuntu to recognize the broadcom network card i have | 00:06 |
| Pelo | dudesmn, when you run the installer command for that driver , you type sudo command (whatever else), you'll get asked for the password | 00:06 |
| dudesmn | ok | 00:06 |
| bazhang | xavierpwns: you read that link about wifi? | 00:06 |
| bazhang | !broadcom | xavierpwns | 00:07 |
| ubotu | xavierpwns: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 00:07 |

| bazhang | xavierpwns: please read that link first | 00:07 |
| Serveck | should i just scrap this install and simply re-do it with the 32 bit version? | 00:08 |
| Serveck | this is being a pain, because i dont have a clue how to use linux | 00:08 |
| bazhang | Serveck: well that depends on you; do you have over 4GB of ram and/or hate youtube? | 00:08 |
| Serveck | i got 2gb of ram, and i like youtube.. | 00:08 |
| Scunizi | Serveck, yes.. use the 32 bit version... much better for you in the long run.. the learning curve is high enough when converting. | 00:09 |
| bazhang | Serveck: then the 32 bit is the best bet; flash install on 64 bit can be a bit tiring | 00:09 |
| Serveck | i might as well scrap this install (having no experience) | 00:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 00:09 |
| Serveck | aight.. looks like i need to swap hard drives now | 00:09 |
| Serveck | ill brbr (going to laptop) | 00:09 |
| dudesmn | ati-driver-installer-8.3-x86.x86_64.run: command not found | 00:09 |
| Scunizi | Serveck, when redoing it create a separate /home partition | 00:09 |
| Scunizi | too late | 00:09 |
| bazhang | heh | 00:09 |
| xavierpwns | "Open System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager and you will see that under the Firmware drop down arrow it says Firmware for Broadcom 43xx chipset family and under Status it says Not in Use." when i click on the rest. driver manager it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers." and nothing else | 00:10 |
| levander | I'm trying to figure out what problems Serveck had with 64 bit Ubuntu. What were the problems? I'm thinking about upgrading myself. | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | flaxh | 00:10 |
| dudesmn | ummmm | 00:10 |
| bazhang | levander: he was totally new to ubuntu | 00:10 |
| dudesmn | yep | 00:10 |
| dudesmn | still cant install my drivers | 00:10 |
| dudesmn | :\ | 00:10 |
| levander | He was saying something about flash. But, I thought there was some firefox plugin wrapper that 32 bit flash works in? Is there still some problem with flash? | 00:11 |
| levander | bazhang: So, what makes it more difficult to install 64 bit for newbies? | 00:11 |
| bazhang | xavierpwns: open a terminal and type ifconfig does it show only lo and eth0 or a third listing as well | 00:11 |
| bazhang | levander: flash for one | 00:11 |
| unop | levander, unfamiliarity in a new environment | 00:11 |
| levander | bazhang: I thought that firefox plugin wrapper on 64 bit was supposed to work fine with flash? | 00:12 |
| xavierpwns | it only has eth0 and lo | 00:12 |
| dudesmn | my drivers wont install | 00:12 |
| bazhang | xavierpwns: did you install the driver? | 00:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | levander, 32 bit is still recommended for new users, dual booting 32 and64 is another good option. | 00:13 |
| xavierpwns | im not sure how :/ | 00:13 |
| levander | Jack_Sparrow: Any idea why 32 bit is still recommended for new users? | 00:13 |
| dudesmn | =/ | 00:13 |
| doseryder | hi guys. I need help with setting wireless internet in gutsy gibbon | 00:13 |
| bazhang | doseryder: what card | 00:13 |
| unop | levander, it still requires you use a terminal to run a few commands and thats where they get stuck at, no point and click can be confuzzling :) | 00:13 |
| carlzenox | why wont this work "print $con "NICK ".$3."\n";" | 00:13 |
| levander | unop: Which commands? | 00:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | levander, flash and driver issues are the basics.. | 00:14 |
| carlzenox | it says no nickname given | 00:14 |
| doseryder | bazhang:Thank you for your prompt response and attention to my problem | 00:14 |
| bazhang | levander: any commands ;] | 00:14 |
| carlzenox | hello o.o | 00:14 |
| mat__ | is this the place to get 8.04 help? | 00:14 |
| levander | bazhang: Like, there's no "Software Sources" dialog in 64 bits, so you have to use apt-get on the command line? | 00:14 |
| dudesmn | i need help installing my ati drivers | 00:14 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please mat__ | 00:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mat__, no | 00:15 |
| mat__ | thanks | 00:15 |
| doseryder | bazhang: its a TP-LINK wireless g usb | 00:15 |
| levander | Jack_Sparrow: Well, I hope my wireless Linksys card works under 64 bits. It works fine with ndiswrapper under 32 bits. | 00:15 |
| bazhang | levander: this is getting a bit offtopic.. | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 00:15 |
| ubuntu__ | hi, im using my friends computer, im on a livecd trying to copy his media over to ane xternal cause his internal hd is messed up. i cant copy more than like 100 files without it freezing up | 00:15 |
| ubuntu__ | or giving me the error "I/O error" and not copying the file | 00:15 |
| levander | In other words, you guys don't know. We're completely talking about Ubuntu. | 00:15 |
| ubuntu__ | why is it locking up/freezing | 00:15 |
| bazhang | doseryder: what does lspci in the terminal say about that card (just the one line) | 00:15 |
| unop_ | carlzenox, what language is that? | 00:15 |
| CJDBunnY | hi | 00:15 |
| doseryder | bazhang: in the past i have heard about the ndiswrapper thingy but never looked into it cuz i never had the need to | 00:15 |
| MakotoTheKnight | I have a problem with my Java -- I tried to install 1.6.0_05 today, but that turned out to be a mistake. | 00:16 |
| CJDBunnY | does ubuntu come with a DVB viewer? | 00:16 |
| xavierpwns | bazhang: can you walk me through installing my drivers for my network card? (broadcom) | 00:16 |
| MakotoTheKnight | Does anyone have any tips on how I can get Java back to where it's supposed to be? | 00:16 |
| carlzenox | unop_:perl | 00:16 |
| CJDBunnY | like kubuntu has kaffiene which works with DVB | 00:16 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, are you using the command line or gui to do the copy | 00:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | levander, we have told you specifically areas that are a problem.. we have told you you are drifting into offtopic.. | 00:16 |
| ubuntu__ | Scunizi, gui. | 00:16 |
| bazhang | levander: actually folks here do know but this is not the 32/64 bit chat channel ;] | 00:16 |
| unop_ | carlzenox, you trying to write a script? | 00:16 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, and is the external a usb drive? | 00:16 |
| carlzenox | yes sir | 00:16 |
| ubuntu__ | Scunizi, yeah, a fat32-partitioned usb external | 00:17 |
| unop_ | carlzenox, use the !pastebin and show us what you have first. | 00:17 |
| levander | bazhang: Jack_Sparrow: You guys need to read the channel topic. | 00:17 |
| nicodarious | OK, so now THIS is odd... I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 onto my system without a hitch. I had the command prompt when booted and from there, since my vid card drivers weren't installed. I installed linux-source.2.6.22 without a problem... I went to install ANYTHING ELSE and I now get a core dump with apt-get!!!! WTF?!?!? | 00:17 |
| yuri_ | xavierpwns: install ndisgtk and it should be self explanatory from there | 00:17 |
| carlzenox | !pastebin | 00:17 |
| 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) | 00:17 |
| bazhang | levander: haha | 00:17 |
| xavierpwns | yuri: script? | 00:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | levander, Please stop... | 00:18 |
| dudesmn | i need assistance installing my graphics drivers | 00:18 |
| HoboBen | Can someone just quickly remind me of the path to the all-important xorg.conf file please? | 00:18 |
| bazhang | !ot | bazhang levander | 00:18 |
| doseryder | bazhang, I'm in windows right now but can you gimme some directions as to how to setup my wireless internet? I have access to the gutsy gibbon live-cd | 00:18 |
| ubotu | bazhang levander: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | /etc/X11 | 00:18 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, k.. you might be better off using the terminal.. cp /media/<olddrive_directory>/* /media/<usbdrive>/ | 00:18 |
| HoboBen | Jack_Sparrow: Thank you | 00:18 |
| shade_ | hey, anyone knows a good c++ compiler for gnome (ubuntu 7.10)? | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:18 |
| yuri_ | xavierpwns: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk && sudo ndisgtk | 00:18 |
| ubuntu__ | Scunizi, thanks. you dont think itll freeze up? | 00:18 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, k.. you might be better off using the terminal.. cp -r /media/<olddrive_directory>/* /media/<usbdrive>/ | 00:18 |
| carlzenox | unop_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61531/ | 00:18 |
| Slart | shade_: same as for any linux machine.. the gnu compiler | 00:18 |
| nicodarious | does anyone know about the core dump with apt-get on Ubuntu 7.10?!?!? | 00:18 |
| dudesmn | i need help installing my graphics drivers | 00:18 |
| Lounge | shade_: try gcc | 00:18 |
| Slart | !compiler | 00:18 |
| ubotu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 00:19 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, there's a small change in the second post.. terminal seems to work better for large copies. | 00:19 |
| shade_ | ok thanks ;) | 00:19 |
| JustJaden | how do I get the system to recognize my wireless card? | 00:19 |
| ubuntu__ | ty a lot Scunizi | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, only if you have added non-supported repos | 00:19 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, np | 00:19 |
| Slart | JustJaden: depends very much on what card it is | 00:19 |
| bazhang | doseryder: best way to do it is in the system itself; any way to get online and troubleshoot from a seperate computer? | 00:19 |
| Lounge | i use both gcc 4 & gcc if i wann compile things like jedi academy | 00:19 |
| Serveck | ok back | 00:19 |
| JustJaden | how can I find out? | 00:19 |
| ubuntu__ | oh, Scunizi, i copied a buncha stuff over. will that automatically overwrite it (whiuch is fine) | 00:19 |
| Lounge | gcc 3 is better for the q3 comiling i think | 00:19 |
| Lounge | compiling* | 00:19 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu__, yes.. | 00:19 |
| Serveck | ok, so im downloading unbuntu 32 bit this time, im assuming its exactly the same | 00:20 |
| Slart | JustJaden: you might get better answers if you include info such as chipset on your card, model, brand.. output from lspci etc | 00:20 |
| Serveck | after all that time spent into configuring ubuntu, i find out i installed the wrong version.... | 00:20 |
| dudesmn | i need help installing my graphics drivers | 00:20 |
| Slart | JustJaden: lspci will give you a long number identifying your card... google for that number and ubuntu and you might find something | 00:20 |
| Serveck | should i install 7.10 or 8.04? (new to linux) | 00:20 |
| Scunizi | Serveck, yep.. this time make yourself a separate /home partition when installing.. it will help you when you bugger you system up bad enough that you want to reinstall fresh. your data and programs will remain | 00:20 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, I haven't added anything though. no repos added, fresh install. has happened twice now (two different reinstalls). It only happens after apt-get install-ing linux-source-2.6.22. after that, apt-get dumps core | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Serveck, 7.10 | 00:21 |
| Serveck | ok | 00:21 |
| FFVV | whats the command to see what ive installed using apt-get? | 00:21 |
| doseryder | bazhang, I'm on my desktop now, I do have another laptop that i can use but its kinda slow. How can i install my TP-LINK wireless g usb? | 00:21 |
| Serveck | im downloading via torrent now | 00:21 |
| Lounge | i'd wait for the final buiold but that's just i & i mon | 00:21 |
| andreturetta | i need help with google earth, my x restarts after i load google earth, someone can help me?! | 00:21 |
| JustJaden | Slart: thank you, I'll try that | 00:21 |
| bazhang | dpkg -l FFVV | 00:21 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, what does it mean a Segmentation Faulty tree? | 00:21 |
| bobdole | crimsun: I attempted to regenerate the initramfs for my Ubuntu install (I chroot'd into it). However it still hangs at bootup. | 00:21 |
| Serveck | you will have to walk me through how to set up /home when i get to that point | 00:21 |
| Slart | JustJaden: sorry.. lspci doesn't give you a number.. I was thinkning about lsusb.. but lspci will give you some kind of description of your card | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) NOt sure what is going on there | 00:22 |
| Slart | JustJaden: you're welcome | 00:22 |
| bazhang | doseryder: you have the livecd up and running on the target computer? that is the best way to get this going | 00:22 |
| dudesmn | i need help installing graphics drivers for ati | 00:22 |
| Serveck | ok, which version? alternate or desktop? | 00:22 |
| Slart | dudesmn: have you followed the instructions you get if you type !ati in the channel? | 00:22 |
| gidna | what's the difference beetween | and > ? | 00:22 |
| dudesmn | yes | 00:22 |
| dudesmn | those do not apply to me | 00:22 |
| andreturetta | i need help with google earth, my x restarts after i load google earth, someone can help me?! | 00:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dudesmn, have you enabled the restricted drivers or are you trying to install the ones from ati | 00:23 |
| amenado | gidna-> pipe and redirect | 00:23 |
| Serveck | should i install alternate or desktop? | 00:23 |
| dudesmn | im installing the ones form ati | 00:23 |
| LjL | !rootirc | WhereWhere | 00:23 |
| ubotu | WhereWhere: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 00:23 |
| gidna | yes amenado | 00:23 |
| dudesmn | restricted drivers does not work | 00:23 |
| gidna | is it not the same? | 00:23 |
| Lounge | lol@root ircing | 00:23 |
| amenado | no | 00:23 |
| doseryder | bazhang: okay, in that case. I'll fire up my laptop for irc'in and have my target desktop (system) running the live-cd | 00:23 |
| xavierpwns | anyone got a link where i can get bcmwl5.inf? | 00:23 |
| Slart | dudesmn: can't really help you then.. sorry.. ask the channel, be specific.. what errors do you get, what were you expecting.. anything in /var/log/syslog and so on | 00:23 |
| bazhang | doseryder: okay that is the best option | 00:24 |
| Serveck | should i install alternate or desktop? | 00:24 |
| dudesmn | ok | 00:24 |
| amenado | xavierpwns-> you tried to google for it yet? | 00:24 |
| dudesmn | bash: ati-driver-installer-8.3-x86.x86_64.run: command not found | 00:24 |
| Slart | !who | Serveck | 00:24 |
| dudesmn | i get that | 00:24 |
| ubotu | Serveck: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Serveck, The difference is only the live test drive on desktop. alt is just text installer | 00:24 |
| fr500 | hi | 00:24 |
| andreturetta | someone is using google earth? i need some explanations about it.. | 00:24 |
| xavierpwns | yes but it brings back .sys file is that the same thing? | 00:24 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, I can't pastebin. I am on my laptop so I can be in IRC... my other machine is down the tubes right now. | 00:24 |
| Serveck | oh ok, so i should go with desktop i386 then? | 00:25 |
| ubuntu__ | Scunizi, i got an error: cp: reading `/media/disk-1/ryan/Media/12 Stones/12 Stones/01 Crash.mp3': Input/output error | 00:25 |
| Slart | dudesmn: you might have to run that as this.. "sudo sh ati-driver-blablabla" | 00:25 |
| fr500 | i want to recompile a package to enable a certain feature unavailabke on the default package, i did an apt-get source mpd recompiled fine but now the init script no longer works | 00:25 |
| bazhang | Serveck: yes | 00:25 |
| shade_ | can i install the build-essential without the ubuntu cd? if i install in terminal it always want the cd | 00:25 |
| Slart | andreturetta: I've used it once or twice | 00:25 |
| Lounge | andreturetta: i use google but i don't know how ro why your x is restarting | 00:25 |
| amenado | xavierpwns-> you tried to google for it yet? read up on it okay? .inf is like the config file, and the .sys is the driver.. | 00:25 |
| Lounge | google earth that is | 00:25 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, is there a way to clean out the repos list and re download them? | 00:25 |
| Slart | shade_: check your software sources.. and remove the cd from them | 00:25 |
| bazhang | shade_: disable the cd as a software source | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, not sure what is up with that.. it isnt a common issue.. | 00:25 |
| bobdole | I have an error with a new Ubuntu 7.10 install that prevents it from booting up and reads "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/(hex code) does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I have regenerated the initramfs and still it refuses to boot with the same message. | 00:25 |
| CapaH | Hi all, I have just installed Gutsy on a new Compaq Presario F750 laptop. I have a few issues. First, it seems unable to see any wireless interfaces. Second, the screen resolution will not properly set to 1280x800 -- the laptop lcd screen native resolution. Can anyone help me with this? | 00:25 |
| amenado | fr500-> recompiling does not change init | 00:26 |
| Slart | !res | CapaH | 00:26 |

| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, YOu can restore the repo list, but it sounds like the damage is already done. | 00:26 |
| fr500 | amenado: did it for mpd and now mpd won't start on boot | 00:26 |
| Serveck | wow.. this is one fast torrent... it will only take 20 minutes to download | 00:26 |
| amenado | fr500-> once more, just compiling a source does not change the init script | 00:26 |
| KalEl | how can i move the close button on the top panel? somehow it has moved towards the left and is not moving past the volume control | 00:26 |
| fr500 | amenado: i understand, but i still have that issue | 00:27 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, how so? I didn't even download and install the updates yet. like I said it's a fresh install with nothing on it. how could there be damage already by just installing source files for the kernel? | 00:27 |
| Lounge | KalEl: right click and unlock it | 00:27 |
| ubuntu__ | im trying to backujp my friends drive, i did it via cli, anyone know what this error means? "cp: reading `/media/disk-1/ryan/Media/12 Stones/12 Stones/01 Crash.mp3': Input/output error" | 00:27 |
| amenado | fr500-> now if you installed something that also affects the init script, thats different | 00:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, something is up... is that hardy you have there or some other distro? | 00:27 |
| fr500 | amenado: just did apt-get source mpd, configure make and did a checkinstall to generate a deb, maybe that's my fault? | 00:27 |
| amenado | fr500-> compiling not equal to installing | 00:27 |
| KalEl | Lounge, aha thanks | 00:28 |
| Lounge | KalEl: np | 00:28 |
| amenado | fr500 checkinstall ? thats not an ubuntu step is it? | 00:28 |
| Slart | ubuntu__: that's a very generic error.. could be almost anything | 00:28 |
| andreturetta | exit | 00:28 |
| fr500 | instead of make install, checkinstall generates a backup deb and then installs | 00:29 |
| xenthro | xavierpwns, im sending you broadcom drivers that work | 00:29 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, official 7.10 Gutsy distro straight from Ubuntu website. | 00:29 |
| xavierpwns | xenthro: thanks so much | 00:29 |
| bazhang | nicodarious: what are you installing source files for the kernel? | 00:30 |
| SpookyET | Is it possible to upgrade to linux mint from gutsy? | 00:30 |
| bazhang | SpookyET: nay | 00:30 |
| amenado | fr500 okay, so your did install, and whatever you created from source (ie the deb) was installed overwriting the old one | 00:30 |
| LjL | SpookyET: i don't think so, but you should ask the Mint people | 00:30 |
| Slart | SpookyET: you'll have to ask the Linux Mint people.. probably not | 00:30 |
| bazhang | SpookyET: severe downgrade | 00:30 |
| fr500 | amenado: all i want to do is the normal mpd available to have flaac support, so i gotta pass aflag | 00:30 |
| xenthro | xavierpwns, check your XDCC | 00:30 |
| SpookyET | bazhang: it's based on gusty, what are you talking about | 00:30 |
| stroyan | Ubuntu__: EIO may be an actual read error from the disk drive. Did anything interesting happen to the system before all the errors started? If not, then I would expect it is the hard drive failing. You may see messages about that in /var/log/messages. | 00:30 |
| nicodarious | bazhang, all i did was initiate "apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22" it installed, then i went to libc6 and it gave me a core dump | 00:30 |
| Slart | !gusty | 00:30 |
| amenado | fr500 you can always check the contents of the init script to see how it works | 00:30 |
| xavierpwns | xenthro: :[ what's that? | 00:30 |
| ubotu | It is spelt !guTSy :) | 00:30 |
| Lounge | SpookyET: its better to backup your personal files to t bz2 file and then doing a clean install to mint | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, fresh install and as soon as you try to apt-get kernel source you have the problem? | 00:31 |
| bazhang | nicodarious: why would you do that what are you trying to accomplish | 00:31 |
| xenthro | xavierpwns, are you using xchat? if yes, you should see a download dialogue | 00:31 |
| KalEl | "Put display to sleep" does not seem to be working in power management | 00:31 |
| nicodarious | bazhang, i tried other files through apt-get .... nothing.... core dump. | 00:31 |
| bazhang | SpookyET: you can ask in #linuxmint | 00:31 |
| ubuntu__ | stroyan, it could be the drive failing, i dont know. windows BSODd immediately on bootup. you think its his drive dying? | 00:31 |
| xavierpwns | i'm using pidgin or whatever | 00:31 |
| Lounge | SpookyET: but then again - you could always add the mint repos and try doing a dist-upgrade | 00:31 |
| xavierpwns | gaim | 00:31 |
| amenado | fr500 can you see how the checkinstall installed stuff for you? what it added? | 00:31 |
| Scientus | how can you make a backup of your system that can also be used as a vmware or qemu image?? | 00:31 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, I installed linux-source-2.6.22 fine. but after, everything else gives core dump. | 00:32 |
| stroyan | ubuntu__: It happens. You might try spinrite- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpinRite It is not free or cheap. | 00:32 |

| amenado | darkblue_B-> i dont know if you have apache2 entries on your logrotate.conf ..please check | 00:34 |
| darkblue_B | amenado: checking | 00:34 |
| Lounge | ralphw: its morelikey that they prefer iE explorer instead of firefox | 00:34 |
| amenado | darkblue_B-> actually its in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 | 00:35 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, cirrect | 00:35 |

| Scientus | amenado why wouldnt it be possible | 00:36 |
| xenthro | anybody have a method for quickly posting a 4mb file? | 00:36 |
| Slart | Web_Warlord: depends on your hardware | 00:36 |
| Lounge | Web_Warlord: count to 20 or 30 | 00:36 |
| HoboBen | Web_Warlord: Shouldn't take long - downloading probably takes longer | 00:36 |
| darkblue_B | amenado: no, nothing about apache2 in /etc/logrotate.conf | 00:36 |
| Scientus | i could imagine it at least for qemu, would the driver change kill it, i have no experience with changing hardwar in linux | 00:36 |

| co0lingFir3 | hi guys! can someone explain me the ubuntu package naming scheme? | 00:36 |
| amenado | darkblue_B-> actually its in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 | 00:36 |
| Slart | user__: open a browser, go to http://www.ubuntu.com .. you can figure it out from there | 00:37 |
| xenthro | xavierpwns, trying to figure out a way to send it to you | 00:37 |
| Traveler0 | Is bazhang or scunizi around? | 00:37 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, I install the source fine.. but after anything else gives me core dumps. this is odd, since I have always installed source files first. | 00:37 |
| Serveck | what is ubuntu based on? gnome? | 00:37 |
| Slart | Serveck: Debian | 00:37 |
| Serveck | oh, ok | 00:37 |
| darkblue_B | amenado: ooohhhhh ok, I am lookng at the file.. confusing | 00:37 |
| fuhreal | Is it normal for gnome to use 600+mb ram? | 00:37 |
| Slart | Serveck: it uses gnome per default | 00:38 |
| ubuntu__ | gnome is the display manager default in ubuntu though | 00:38 |
| ralphw | bazhang was here earlier | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nicodarious, 32 or 64? | 00:38 |
| user__ | slart_> I have ibm thinkpad and pentium desktop with a cd\writer I can burn files with...system backups, mp3s etc...it's got plenty of disk space for a download... | 00:38 |
| Slart | Serveck: kUbuntu uses KDE and Xubuntu uses XFCE | 00:38 |

| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, 32. 64 doesn't support what I need it to do yet. | 00:38 |

| Traveler0 | Scunizi, I'm Traveler5 from earlier. I'm still having some trouble getting online. | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | ubuntu__ | 00:40 |
| ubotu | ubuntu__: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 00:40 |
| GrooveStix | hey people! why is my Xubuntu booting uptil "*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]" and then stops? | 00:40 |

| stroyan | ubuntu__: If you have the smartmontools package on that live cd you could poke around the drive with smartctl. | 00:40 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, I can't find anything online about it either except that Ubuntu has a libc bug. | 00:40 |

| Lounge | Slart: ...K... | 00:41 |
| nicodarious | Jack_Sparrow, I think I'm going to reinstall one more time and update the system before installing source. maybe then that would work. again, thanks for your help. | 00:41 |

| Traveler0 | scunizi: I'm on another machine on the same network right now. | 00:42 |
| Traveler0 | cable | 00:42 |
| HoboBen | Web_Warlord - depends where you get it from. If you get it from the maintainers (latest version) it's very slow. If you get it from wherever Ubuntu defaults to, it should only take a few seconds to a minute or so, depending on your connection speed. | 00:42 |
| CapaH | Does anyone know what I should select for "Monitor Name" if I have a Compaq Presario 15.4" Laptop LCD screen? | 00:43 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, ok.. since you can get to the router but not the internet that means the issue is somewhere with the router.. maybe.. | 00:43 |

| tankmech | OK, so I finally after spending all day trying to figure it out got my wireless to work on the notebook i just installed on. the only problem is that everytime i restart i have to type "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myNet key myKey mode managed" and then "dhclient". is there a way i can make that permanent so the wireless is up automatically, instead of having to type those everytime? | 00:49 |
| webtoe | nks_: hang on a sec, just looking up that wireless card. how do you know you have good signal? The icon at the top right? | 00:50 |
| jaffarkelshac | how do i install airsnort. | 00:50 |
| Traveler4 | Agh, I'm back. | 00:50 |
| Traveler4 | No luck. | 00:50 |

| nks__ | ok, thank you - webtoe | 00:50 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, yep | 00:50 |
| CapaH | Ok I know it is 60hz | 00:50 |
| ani1 | jaffarkelshac: sudo apt-get install snort | 00:50 |
| poseidon | Thanks for the suggestions, I'm already downloading one of them | 00:50 |
| nks__ | yes, the icon | 00:50 |

| KalEl | screen saver taking up too much of cpu - can i somehow deprioriize it? | 00:51 |
| GrooveStix | how can I get in recovery (safe) mode? | 00:51 |
| jaffarkelshac | ani1, thats airsnort? | 00:51 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: Traveler4 now... Anyway, I had no luck. You want me to right click the network icon... i have networking enabled... | 00:51 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, ok.. look at the two icons I mentioned before. right mouse click on one of them .. one should say "enable networking" with a checkmark next to it. | 00:51 |
| webtoe | nks_: do you have details of your wireless connection? Is it hidden or not? Encrypted? is it your own personal wireless system? | 00:51 |
| Serveck | ok, can someone walk me through how to set up that /home | 00:51 |
| Slart | KalEl: well... there is always "renice" | 00:51 |
| phantom__ | KalEl, have you tried renicing it? | 00:51 |
| nickrud | KalEl select no screensaver, or use one that needs fewer resources | 00:51 |
| nks__ | yes -webtoe | 00:51 |
| Scientus | mount -f is returning device is busy! | 00:51 |
| Flannel | GrooveStix: Pick it at the GRUB menu. To get to the grub menu, if its hidden, hit escape right after the post screen | 00:51 |
| Scientus | how can i umount if force is not working | 00:52 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: I already have that checked. | 00:52 |
| Slart | KalEl: but renice won't keep it from using your cpu.. unless something else is running | 00:52 |
| ani1 | jaffarkelshac: sudo apt-get install airsnort no difference just <insert package name here> | 00:52 |
| nks__ | my own personal home network.. | 00:52 |
| GrooveStix | thanks Flannel | 00:52 |
| KalEl | ok thanks... not sure how to renice screensaver though, but i think i'll try to find a low cpu screen saver :) | 00:52 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, ok.. do the other one and choose properties | 00:52 |
| jtravnick | poseidon, just pull up synaptic theres all kinds of games in there | 00:52 |

| Scientus | umount2: Device or resource is busy umount:/media/disk-1: device is busy and then the same thing again | 00:54 |
| webtoe | nks_: its possible that you;re card just isn;'t well supported yet | 00:54 |
| ani1 | jaffarkelshac: its there ... sudo aptitude show airsnort | 00:54 |
| amenado | JustJaden-> what are you trying to achieve? | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, go to System/Admin/network .. enter your password | 00:54 |
| webtoe | is it an ecrypted network? | 00:54 |
| nickrud | JustJaden end lines with \ , until you've done them all | 00:54 |
| Slart | JustJaden: man bash has a lot of info about the terminal.. I think you can use backslash for several lines.. but I'm not really sure | 00:54 |
| ani1 | jaffarkelshac: have you enabled the extra repositories? | 00:54 |
| Flannel | GrooveStix: no. Recovery console is singer user mode. no GUI. What did you originally think you needed the recovery console for? | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, what's listed under the connections tab | 00:54 |
| jaffarkelshac | anil i think so, i am on hardy though if it makes any difference | 00:54 |
| nks__ | It asked me for the WEP - I type it in and it takes forever without connecting - after a while it asks me for the WEP password again! -webtoe | 00:54 |

| Scientus | that was to sudo umount -f <dev> | 00:54 |

| nickrud | Scientus well, error message from that the. | 00:55 |
| Scientus | ewithout the umount2: error when i dont use the -f option | 00:55 |
| david_ | any help on getting aMSN working? | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | Traveler0, ping.. you there? | 00:55 |
| webtoe | nks_: doing just a brief google search tells me that your card's drivers are still in the experimental stage | 00:55 |
| amenado | Scientus-> try fuser -km /dev/sdaX to kill whatever process hogging that device..? | 00:55 |
| GrooveStix | Flannel: it's a complicated problem to explain and I am using Xubuntu, but I remember this one time when I was messing with the display preferences, Xubuntu restarted in this low-res safemode looking mode... | 00:56 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: Just a heads up.. my nick changed to Traveler4 and this aplet isn't letting me change it. | 00:56 |
| nickrud | Scientus ah, missed it. You have a terminal open to the partition, somewhere in it's file tree or another app has a file open there. lsof | grep /path to see | 00:56 |
| webtoe | nks_: this means that they'll connect to an base station but its abit flakey from there | 00:56 |
| Scientus | yep lol :) thx | 00:56 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: Tell you wht is listed under connections? Sorry, I'm having to run between rooms. | 00:56 |
| tbwnoob | anyone know how to solve your 3d gl crashing your cxserver after about five minutes of use | 00:56 |
| Scientus | same one i way trtying to umount with lol | 00:56 |
| webtoe | nks_: some people have had good results with the driver that's in development at the moment, but its not released yet | 00:56 |
| Scientus | even though i closed everything else | 00:56 |
| webtoe | nks_: you can either wait, use the development version or use ndiswrapper | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | Traveler4, sorry. what are you trying to change.. ah.. system/admin/network enter password and tell me what's in the box that pops up | 00:57 |
| JustJaden | when I try the blacklist thing, It gives me 2 options. One says that another program is editing the same file, and the other says an edit session for this file crashed. | 00:57 |
| Scientus | the fuser command killed the same window :) | 00:57 |
| webtoe | nks_: but have a look on the madwifi.org website for your card. There might be some useful information there which I can't tell you about. Research will reap its own rewards!! | 00:57 |
| nks__ | ok, I was thinking it may have been the WEP that was actually causing part of the problem and maybe I should disable WEP. What do you think ? | 00:58 |
| amenado | JustJaden-> go to that directory and see if there is the *.swp file | 00:58 |
| webtoe | getting more beer | 00:58 |
| nks__ | What do you think - webtoe | 00:58 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: There's "Wired Connection" grayed out with "roaming mode enabled" under it and "modem connection" also grayed out | 00:58 |
| nickrud | nks__ that would isolate the error. Works, wep. Not works, network ;) | 00:58 |
| amenado | Scientus-> yep the fuser -km /dev/sdaX will forcibly kill process access that device | 00:58 |
| JustJaden | amenado> how do I do that? | 00:58 |
| xavierpwns | xenthro: going to restart and hopefully it'll be working :] wish me luck | 00:58 |
| amenado | JustJaden-> change directory == cd | 00:58 |
| Scientus | unlikethats good to remember | 00:59 |
| nks__ | So is there a way for me to get connected ?-nickrud | 00:59 |

| reya276 | how can I remount my WD USB 500GB hard drive | 00:59 |
| Scunizi | Traveler4, ok... now were getting somewhere.. see if you can put a checkmark next to "Wired connection" and then click the "Properties" button and make sure roaming is turned off and dhcp is enabled | 00:59 |
| amenado | Scientus-> make a lil cheat sheet for things like this..for future reference | 00:59 |
| webtoe | nks_: yes that might help. You see, the driver often needs to implement the encryption system as well. So disabling wep migfht help | 00:59 |
| Scientus | i allways look up man pages on command that are useful | 00:59 |
| reya276 | for some reason the drive is not being recognized event after I unplug it and plug it back in | 00:59 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: Well, I've done that before, but didn't work. | 02:00 |
| nickrud | nks__ I'm not a wireless networking expert by any means. But that's what I did to set mine up. Worked with an unsecure network to make sure I had the basics right, then moved on to passwords | 02:00 |
| webtoe | nks_: i used to use the acx100 driver for a card and it didn't support some versions of encryption because they hadn't implemented it yet | 02:00 |
| david_ | can anyone help me with getting aMSN to work please ?..dont wanna butt in | 02:00 |

| rhineheart_m | I guess I have root group.. how to add admin user to root group? | 02:04 |
| webtoe | david_: what's your problem with aMsn | 02:04 |
| david_ | I installed aMSN, but when I try to log in, I get a message telling me I need to install a 'TLS module'.then I have to choose my system architecture, so I choose 'linux-x86, but it won't work | 02:05 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m admin users have sudo privileges, you would add a user to admin to let them sudo | 02:05 |
| Scunizi | Traveler4, ok.. I'm going to turn this over to amenado because he knows the "other" right things to ask. amenado, Traveler4 can get to his router with his new install but not the net. He's 1st time on ubuntu and running between rooms to do things on the ubu box. can you help him? | 02:05 |
| doseryder | amenado: hi, earlier you mentioned fuser -km /dev/sdaX kills whatever process that's hoggin that device. Is there a way to find out what that process (pid?) is before killing it? | 02:05 |
| webtoe | david_: is this from the ubuntu repositories? | 02:06 |
| marion | Quick question. If I update 7.10 to 8.4 using the update tool, will it delete the contents of my /home? | 02:06 |
| webtoe | aMsn i mean | 02:06 |
| webtoe | marion: no | 02:06 |

| Roooty | Hi how do I install Non-English fonts pls? | 02:06 |
| amenado | Traveler0-> paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf and sudo iptables -n -vL this will assist me | 02:06 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, yeah I know that..but how to allow a user with sudo power to write files in a certain directory? | 02:06 |
| Tu13es | how do I set up VNC server with xubuntu? | 02:06 |
| david_ | webtoe...........not sure I understand the question, sorry | 02:06 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi, amenado: That's right. | 02:06 |
| marion | webtoe: Should I go through the trouble to move /home to a different partition? | 02:06 |
| Scunizi | amenado, he can't paste to the pastebin no connection even with live cd.. | 02:07 |
| amenado | doseryder-> using lsof perhaps | 02:07 |
| Traveler4 | scunizi: I'm not really sure what a pastebin is, though. | 02:07 |
| webtoe | david_ are you installing amsn from the ubuntu package manager? | 02:07 |
| webtoe | or have you downloaded it from their website? keep in mind its been a | 02:07 |
| webtoe | few years since i've used aMSN | 02:07 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m you would either make the directory writeable by all, or use sudo when you write to the dir. Depends on the dir | 02:07 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, I will be using winscp to transfer files.. but it gives me permission error everytime I will create files somewhere in /var/www subdir.. | 02:07 |
| Scunizi | Traveler4, good luck.. this one is beyond my understanding.. pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 02:07 |
| webtoe | marion: not if you're upgrading. | 02:07 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> well you just have to be patient in copying it down to the pastebin, it helps a lot.. also describe your network setup please | 02:07 |
| david_ | webtoe...I believe so........ | 02:07 |
| webtoe | shouldn't make a difference, just keep in mind you're using beta software | 02:08 |
| CapaH | I am confused about refresh rate settings. I know this monitor is 1280x800@60 --- but I dont know if that is the horizontal or the vertical refresh rate. Also, I dont know how to determine the "other" (i.e. if its horizontal, what is vertical and vice versa) | 02:08 |
| Scunizi | Traveler4, maybe save the info amenado asks for on a usb key then take it to the other machine and paste it to bastebin | 02:08 |
| jaffarkelshac | get http://..... get is not coming out as a command anyone know why | 02:08 |
| * Scunizi is away: Honey Do List calls | 02:08 | |
| marion | webtoe: Thank you for your time! Much appreciated. | 02:08 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m ah. then you need to make /var/www writeable by non group or user: sudo chmod -R o+w /var/www | 02:08 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, so I guess.. the better alternative for this one. is to allow the user to only write in the specified folder.. not to anywhere... | 02:08 |
| david_ | I'm open to suggestions as to another chat client that will allow me to chat with others on msn | 02:08 |
| webtoe | david_: i may be wrong but I think aMSN uses mozilla's (or | 02:08 |
| webtoe | netscape's) SSL package, so you may need that. Hang on a second and | 02:08 |
| webtoe | I'll look | 02:08 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m yes, doing it specifically to one dir under www would be good | 02:09 |
| webtoe | marion: no problem | 02:09 |

| david_ | nickrud.......I tried that and got completly confused | 02:10 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> if you can somehow put it on a usb drive and copy it over to your working system then paste it in pastebin for easier reading | 02:10 |
| david_ | I'm new to linux terminology | 02:10 |
| webtoe | david_: do you not want to use the aMSN from the ubuntu | 02:10 |
| webtoe | repositories? Try 'sudo apt-get indtall amsn | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH, on laptops.. it is hard.. often it is best to leave them out and let the system try and figure it out. What video drivers did you insrall | 02:10 |
| webtoe | sorry, sudo apt-get install amsn | 02:10 |
| xavierpwns | can anyone help me set up my wireless card? i just followed the "wireless card setup" section of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750 and still no luck :[ please just someone talk me through it and not give me an obscure website saying how | 02:10 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, sudo chmod -R o+w /var/www/**** <<< will give writable permission to non-group or user.. how about giving that permission to single user only? how to do it? | 02:11 |
| david_ | webtoe...I'll use the easiest method.... | 02:11 |
| webtoe | davdi_: that will install amsn, plus any dependencies | 02:11 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m you could make him the owner of that single directory. The only drawback if you do that is that apache can't write to the dir (like allowing uploads from the web page) unless it's owned by www-data. If apache isn't going to write there, it's all god | 02:11 |

| rhineheart_m | nickrud, it is under drupal directory... so I guess there should never be problems with it.. what do you think? all folders there are set to root group anyway... | 02:13 |
| Lupe5 | xavierpwns: What Model is it? | 02:13 |
| CapaH | k 1 sec Jack_Sparrow -- btw, cool program I didn't know about that one | 02:13 |
| CapaH | saves copy pasting it into a pastebin url | 02:13 |
| webtoe | david_ yes it is. Or you can use synaptic if that's more | 02:13 |
| webtoe | comfortable. Have you used synaptic before? | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 02:13 |
| deniz__ | david_, aMSN works on kde3 is there a kde4? if ur using it=problem (I may be saying a complete stupidity but just saying in case it turns out to be true..) | 02:13 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: inspiron 1520 | 02:13 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> so it would be like ifconfig >> config.txt ; iwconfig >> config.txt ; route -n >> config.txt ; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> config.txt ; sudo iptables -vL >> config.txt | 02:13 |
| david_ | webtoe, I've no idea what you're talking about.....like I said, I'm a linux newbie | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH, I dont have much time, wife is putting out dinner right now. | 02:14 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m that happened when you unpacked the drupal tarball. drupal does require write to /files , you need to chown that to www-data . Some admin screen should tell you it's not right right now | 02:14 |
| Lupe5 | Xavierpwns: Hmm.... I super good with XPS problems. let me look over the system. | 02:14 |
| CapaH | I am rushing :) | 02:14 |
| CapaH | had to reboot it | 02:14 |
| webtoe | david_: ok. don't worry about it. We all were at some point! go to System -> Administration -> synaptic package manager | 02:14 |
| amenado | david_-> i know you are a newbie, can you read some books on ubuntu? a tutorial would be nice too | 02:14 |
| L33tMasta | I'm having issues streaming avi, MP3, MKV and other media files from a wired Vista PC to an 8.04 Ubuntu setup that's 4 days old. I can't access the Vista PC via the network but i can mount it maually using the "Connect to server" option | 02:14 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: ok thanks the ubuntu just wont recognize that i have a wireless card :[ | 02:15 |
| bazhang | !training | david_ | 02:15 |
| ubotu | david_: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training | 02:15 |
| webtoe | david_: the programme should start up after asking for your password, you can then search for amsn. Select the tick box next to the package | 02:15 |
| david_ | thankyou | 02:15 |
| CapaH | http://paste.stgraber.org/2126 | 02:15 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, the site is already up. I just want the user to upload files/folders to a sites/all sub directory.. any idea? | 02:15 |
| CapaH | Jack_Sparrow: Get that? | 02:15 |
| webtoe | davdi_ if in doubt, look in synaptic for that stuff then ask here if you're still having problems | 02:15 |
| CapaH | Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/2126 | 02:15 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: do I type that in the terminal all at once like that or one at a time. | 02:15 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m as I said earlier :) sudo chown usr:usr /path/to/dir | 02:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH, I can only take a quick look | 02:16 |
| Lupe5 | xavierpwns: Was the Laptop purchsed in 2007/06/05/04/03, or this year? | 02:16 |
| xavierpwns | 08 like a week ago | 02:16 |
| Lupe5 | ok | 02:16 |
| Lupe5 | Did you use the Live CD? | 02:16 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: yep | 02:16 |
| CapaH | For some reason Jack_Sparrow when I try to set it to 1280x800 resolution it only allows 51hz --- not 60 | 02:17 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, I am just confirming it.. so if the username is billgates... is this the right one? sudo chown billgates:billgates /var/www/somewhere ? | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH, remove lines 84 and 85... the 1280 res has too high a rate based on those v/h numbers.. make it guess.. good luck | 02:17 |
| CapaH | ok doing Jack_Sparrow | 02:17 |
| nickrud | rhineheart_m heresy! but yes | 02:17 |
| bazhang | L33tMasta: #ubuntu+1 for that please | 02:17 |
| Lupe5 | ok | 02:17 |
| JustJaden | how do I delete a swap file | 02:17 |
| L33tMasta | ok | 02:17 |
| CapaH | hmm that might have done the trick | 02:18 |
| rhineheart_m | nickrud, :) | 02:18 |
| Lupe5 | Xavierpwns: I have three Insprions. was it the good, better, or best? | 02:18 |
| CapaH | yep it did | 02:18 |
| JustJaden | I tried > /etc/modprobe.d/.blacklist.swp but it says Permission is denied | 02:18 |
| CapaH | now I have 1280x800 resolution -- thanks Jack_Sparrow --- only prob is 51hz instead of 60 | 02:18 |
| david_ | webtoe........aMSN isn't there.......... | 02:18 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: i believe good. the cheapest one | 02:18 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> all at once as the terminating ; is included, if not type it one by one | 02:19 |
| Lupe5 | ok | 02:19 |
| webtoe | david_: hang on a second | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH, eating dinner.. you are on your own | 02:19 |
| bazhang | david_: open up a terminal and type apt-cache search amsn | 02:19 |
| webtoe | david_: you need to enable the Universe repository | 02:19 |
| david_ | ummm,ok | 02:20 |
| sean_ | Is there a rhythmbox channel or is just the GNOME channel? | 02:20 |
| CapaH | Jack_Sparrow: It is 1280x800 now so I am happy for the time :) Thank you very much for your help | 02:20 |

| geirha | JustJaden: Alt+F2 or a terminal, and run: gksu nautilus /etc/modprobe.d | 02:21 |
| geirha | JustJaden: you should have access to delete and modify the files from that nautilus window | 02:22 |
| webtoe | david_: then in synaptic click on 'refresh' and search again | 02:22 |
| david_ | ok | 02:22 |
| webtoe | david_: don't worry, I'm lurking here so there's no rush | 02:22 |

| geirha | JustJaden: well, you wanted to delete that swap file earlier. So you can open the file in vi I would assume. Hit CTRL+H to toggle showing hidden files | 02:24 |

| Aragorn | amenado: the only reason i need windoze is itunes :] | 02:31 |
| geirha | symptom: I'm not saying they will, I'm just saying they were available a week or so before the previous release, so it's probable that the same holds for hardy | 02:31 |
| bazhang | david_: get a more recent version that is not supported now | 02:31 |
| webtoe | david_ you can upgrade from one release to another, but it would take a lot of time | 02:31 |
| Lupe5 | david_: 5 is very old. | 02:31 |
| david_ | webtoe,,,,I thought so...so it doesnt do an auto upgrade? | 02:31 |
| webtoe | daveid_: if I were you I'd either download a newer version or buy a magazine which has it on the front cover | 02:31 |
| Lupe5 | david_: no sorry, it doesn't | 02:31 |
| david_ | I can let it run overnight | 02:32 |
| rhineheart_m | Is there any web interface now working better with ubuntu? | 02:32 |
| webtoe | david_ You can upgrade, but its not automatic. You have to tell it to upgrade to the next release. and 5.04 is v old | 02:32 |
| bazhang | rhineheart_m: try ebox instead of webmin | 02:32 |
| david_ | think I'll do that then...I got time | 02:32 |
| rhineheart_m | bazhang, I tried that one and I didn't like it. I like webmin even than ebox | 02:32 |
| webtoe | david_: so you'd have to upgrade quite a few times to get to the latest version. It would be like jumping from Windows 3.1 throught every version using an upgrade to Vista | 02:32 |
| deniz__ | i downloaded screenlets from getdeb and its installed but how do i activate the clock on desktop? | 02:33 |

| Cristatus | how do i install conky in Hardy Heron? | 02:35 |
| webtoe | Aragon: itunes isn't the ideal thing to run under windows. It was hard enough for Apple to do for windows. What do you want to do and we could suggest a linux programme to do it for you | 02:35 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: what about the syntax box? It doesn't matter? | 02:35 |
| Aragorn | mackid: i use rhythmbox a bit. but there are reasons why i need itunes | 02:35 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please Cristatus | 02:35 |
| bastid_raZor | Cristatus; apt-get install conky | 02:36 |
| mackid | thiebaude: amaroK also uses KDE libs, which makes it retardingly bloated | 02:36 |

| webtoe | n | 02:36 |
| david_ | aha, Warwick | 02:36 |
| mackid | Aragorn, do you buy stuff from iTunes, is that why you need it? | 02:36 |

| xavierpwns | lupe5: the insprion chat is closed for the night :/ | 02:38 |

| xavierpwns | bazhang: yes | 02:38 |

| Cristatus | just wondering | 02:38 |

| Pici | Cristatus: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. | 02:38 |
| mackid | Aragorn, a last.fm plugin comes pre-installed with rhythmbox | 02:38 |
| deniz__ | Aragorn, wine 0.9.57 got a silver rating for itunes but i dont no which os http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1347 | 02:38 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: i was in tech support | 02:38 |
| bastid_raZor | Cristatus; i'd have to agree with bazhang .. #Ubuntu+1 will be better suited | 02:38 |
| nef | Please don't do what? I saw something about the name being owned but wanted to see if my nick was changed or something. | 02:39 |
| Aragorn | mackid: also, i do something called iPod scrobbling. thats the main reason right there. i can only use itunes to do that | 02:39 |
| Lupe5 | xavierpwns: Hmmm............ | 02:39 |
| rhineheart_m | Is installing phpmyadmin a good idea? | 02:39 |
| mackid | Aragorn, it sounds like you should use iTunes. | 02:39 |
| Aragorn | mackid: i do :) | 02:39 |
| mackid | Aragorn, well then, it sounds like the issue is settled. | 02:39 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: you said you have the same wireless card as me right? | 02:39 |
| deniz__ | Aragorn, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1347 <-----------Wine works with itunes | 02:40 |
| Aragorn | but its trouble to have to switch to windows for that, mackid. lol | 02:40 |
| Lupe5 | Aragorn: iPod scrobbling? | 02:40 |
| Aragorn | i wont explain scrobbling lupe5 | 02:40 |
| mackid | Aragorn: well, then don't use iTunes. your choice. | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | what he heck is scrobbling? | 02:40 |
| Aragorn | sorry mate | 02:40 |
| Aragorn | scrobbling is for lastfm | 02:40 |
| Shadow420 | Hey how can I get Windows bootloader to boot grub? | 02:40 |
| Traveler4 | Aragorn: I've heard of people using iTunes with Wine with a good deal of success... | 02:40 |
| Pici | IndyGunFreak: syncing with last.fm | 02:40 |
| bazhang | getting offtopic | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | never heard of that | 02:40 |
| webtoe | Aragon: i personally have a mac as well as a linux box for these things! | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | Traveler4: i don't knwo about good deal of success... | 02:40 |
| Nephth | can you scrobble your iPod tracks from amarok? | 02:40 |
| Lupe5 | xavierpwns: Alas, no. I have the Intel® 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card | 02:40 |
| mackid | Lupe5: scrobbling is showing what tracks you've played on last.fm, which is a website that lets you share your musical tastes with your friends | 02:40 |
| Aragorn | nephth: well, yes | 02:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aragorn: have youc onsidered putting XP and Itunes in Vmware, and just booting up vmware when you want to scrobble, or whatever | 02:41 |
| Aragorn | you can scrobble with linux | 02:41 |
| mackid | Lupe5: so iPod scrobbling is syncing what tunes you have played on an iPod with your computer, which then syncs to the last.fm website. | 02:41 |
| xavierpwns | lupe5: darn :[ i wish i would've known this was a broadcom or i never would've bught it | 02:41 |
| bazhang | !ot | scrobble | 02:41 |

| Lupe5 | Aragorn: I didn't know that's what it ment. | 02:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | CrimsoniteX: you'll find most use either Xchat or irssi.. but Irssi probably isn't fo a newb | 02:43 |
| Aragorn | Lupe5: You CAN scrobble without iTunes | 02:43 |
| xavierpwns | anyone here familiar with getting a broadcom wireless card to work in 7.10? | 02:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | xavierpwns: should be pretty easy | 02:43 |

| ubotu | xavierpwns: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 02:43 |
| mackid | Aragorn, i scrobble with rhythmbox in 7.10.. just get a mac and use iTunes on that, then you avoid using windows. or install VMWare. either way. | 02:43 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: did you get it that time? | 02:44 |
| Aragorn | iPod scrobbling is snychronizing your iPod with [probably only] iTunes and then it all scrobbles | 02:44 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> okay, you are not getting an ip address | 02:44 |
| patrickva | I burnt an iso image of ubuntu and i tried the "try ubuntu" option, but it brings me to a command prompt | 02:44 |

| bazhang | CrimsoniteX: xchat | 02:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | CrimsoniteX: never personally used lostirc, so i'll just suggest xchat | 02:44 |
| Aragorn | mackid: you cant use itunes without windows | 02:44 |
| mackid | CrimsoniteX: i don't know what LostIRC is, but xchat is good | 02:44 |
| CrimsoniteX | Alright thatnks, I'll be back :-) | 02:44 |
| Aragorn | you cannot use itunes ON linux | 02:44 |
| patrickva | I burnt an iso image of ubuntu and i tried the "try ubuntu" option, but it brings me to a command prompt | 02:44 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: Alright, and how do I fix that? | 02:44 |
| bazhang | Aragorn please take that to offtopic thanks | 02:44 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> can you clarify, your pc is connected to where? and how is your existing pc you use to chat connected to the router that gets you to chat? | 02:44 |
| xavierpwns | indygunfreak: i tried this earlier but got stuck at the "Open System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager and you will see that under the Firmware drop down arrow it says Firmware for Broadcom 43xx chipset family and under Status it says Not in Use." part. i dont have that option | 02:44 |
| patrickva | Can someone help me? | 02:44 |
| mackid | Aragorn, join #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:44 |
| Aragorn | im talking about, you cant use lastfm on ubuntu either lol | 02:45 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> basically describe your network connectivity, devices you used, etc.. | 02:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | xavierpwns: i see, i really don't have a lot of experience w/wireless, i just knew the trigger for the broadcom faq | 02:45 |
| webtoe | patrickva: Do you see any errors at all? What sort of machine are you running? what version of Ubuntu?: | 02:45 |
| mackid | Aragorn, that's not true, i use it in rhythmbox | 02:45 |

| Aragorn | mackid: ok, thanks | 02:47 |

| wei | Thank you! | 02:47 |
| webtoe | Vaid: it'll say something like x86_64 | 02:47 |

I've set /apps/panel/global/panel_minimized_size to 0 (tried 1 aswell) in gconf-editor and did killall gnome-panel, but to no effect... can anyone give me a hand? It seems never to go any smaller than say 5 pixels wide. | 02:49 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> maybe you can tell me if you get an ip address. if you type ifconfig ? | 02:49 |
| prettyricky | Dont throw your laptop/ What I did is uninstalled ubuntu and reinstalled it and my wireless card worked. | 02:49 |
| mortal1 | ...well the thing is, it's a perfectly good working power supply, only the fan is going out, so ... | 02:49 |
| xavierpwns | is it really that hard to set it up? | 02:49 |

| Shadow420 | FFVV | !find tlc | 02:54 |

| dudesmn | how do i check the partition for erros | 02:54 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61545/ | 02:54 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: almost all the functionality of the card is kept in the firmware of the device and very little in hardware or software | 02:54 |
| stroyan | Shadow420: If you are booted to ubuntu, then 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdb' Or whatever device is your second drive. | 02:54 |
| Shadow420 | FFVV if required make the universe repo acive | 02:55 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: i know there is a way to get it running, but i can't find a correct walkthrough for 7.10 :[ | 02:55 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: it just so happens that hardy heron will have the latest kernel with the latest mac802 whatever layer in it which will make wireless easier | 02:55 |
| FFVV | i can't find it, theres so much stuff, does anyone know the exact name? its 3 am and im sooo tired lol | 02:55 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> this is an wired ethernet interface right not a wireless? | 02:55 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: you could look at ndiswrapper. It works for lots of chipsets and just requires the windows driver | 02:55 |
| bazhang | FFVV: best to sleep we will be here when you get up | 02:55 |
| Pici | FFVV: use the search tool, search for tcl. Or just install eggdrop out of the repositories. | 02:56 |
| dudesmn | how do i check the ubuntu partition for erros | 02:56 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: That is correct. | 02:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | FFVV: do you have build-essential installed? | 02:56 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: i have the windows driver. could you walk me through ndiswrapper? | 02:56 |
| Boohbah | webtoe: since when has there been a new development in wireless drivers? | 02:56 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: I can try but keep in mind its been a little while since I've used it | 02:56 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: i'll take anything right now :] just try | 02:56 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> you are on livecd or an installed ubuntu? | 02:56 |
| geirha | FFVV: « aptitude search '^tcl.*-dev$' » You probably need one of those | 02:56 |
| bazhang | Boohbah: since the latest release (beta) | 02:57 |
| webtoe | boohbah: well, its more to do with the introduction of the Mac stack and the wirless drivers being ported over to use it instead of the IPW stack from intel | 02:57 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: installed, but it wouldn't work on the livecd either. | 02:57 |

| amenado | Traveler4-> since it is installed, paste the contents of /etc/network/interfaces ie cat /etc/network/intefaces and lshw -c network | 02:58 |
| dudesmn | how do i check the ubuntu partition for errors | 02:58 |
| Pici | !fsck | dudesmn | 02:58 |
| ubotu | dudesmn: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 02:58 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: have you got ndiswrapper installed? | 02:58 |
| amazen720 | how do you install gtag, on ubuntu? | 02:58 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: i'm not sure. how can i check for sure? | 02:59 |
| bazhang | amazen720: please answer my question first | 02:59 |
| webtoe | boohbah: no nothing to do with macintoshes. Its to do with the MAC address layer i believe. Or more importantly how wireless devices use the MAC layer to interact with the physical medium | 02:59 |
| amazen720 | bazhang:didnt see your question | 02:59 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: the easiet way is apt-get install ndiswrapper | 02:59 |
| bazhang | amazen720: scroll up | 02:59 |
| martin_ | hello | 02:59 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: So I type cat /etc/network/interfaces; lshw -c network | 02:59 |
| webtoe | it will tell you whether its already installed | 02:59 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> hang on, the lshw is not correct | 03:00 |
| Boohbah | oh teh media access control.. | 03:00 |
| fuhreal | What log provides kernel call logs? | 03:00 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: tell me exactly what to type. | 03:00 |
| Boohbah | fuhreal: gdb | 03:00 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 03:00 |
| xavierpwns | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 03:00 |
| Boohbah | fuhreal: or you mean system calls? | 03:00 |
| bazhang | !aptfix | 03:00 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 03:00 |
| amenado | Traveler its lshw -C network note the capital letter C | 03:01 |
| CookieMonster | how do i chec the ubuntu partition for errors | 03:01 |
| webtoe | boohbag: yes. You'll just have to trust me that there's lots of shenanigans that has to take place for wireless to work and different cards do different things. Some implement thigns in hardware, others in firmware and others palm it all off to software to implement | 03:01 |
| fuhreal | Boohbah: ya.. like that i can display in a term on my desktop | 03:01 |
| Boohbah | !fsck | CookieMonster | 03:01 |
| ubotu | CookieMonster: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 03:01 |
| amazen720 | bazhang: at tags to mp3 files, so that when I add to rhythbox or itunes the picture shows up | 03:01 |
| amazen720 | bazhang: add* | 03:01 |
| stroyan | fuhreal: If you want to watch kernel calls by particular processes have a look at the strace command. | 03:01 |
| bazhang | amazen720: is it in the repos? if so sudo apt-get install packagename | 03:01 |
| CookieMonster | ok now what if i cant boot into ubuntu | 03:02 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: sorry, you need sudo in front. sudo apt-get install | 03:02 |
| ReflectiveSight | Anybody up for a mind bender? | 03:02 |
| webtoe | sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 03:02 |
| fuhreal | darn.. i've gotta get to this later | 03:02 |
| fuhreal | thx | 03:02 |
| amazen720 | nah I got the tar.gz file | 03:02 |
| bazhang | ReflectiveSight: wrong channel thanks | 03:02 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: can't find it o.0 | 03:02 |
| ReflectiveSight | I am running 8.04beta and I have Opera installed and Firefox-2 installed. In the preferred applications I have set firefox as being the default browser for opening url's. I have two url's saved on my desktop and when I click on one it opens firefox, however when I click on the other it opens opera. If I drag a url from firefox's url bar to the desktop and then double-click on the newly created icon it still opens opera. Why if firefox is sup | 03:02 |

| webtoe | !ndiswrapper | 03:04 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:04 |

| prettyricky | what browser is everyone using here? | 03:06 |
| amazen720 | amenado: I know that | 03:06 |

| REDLiNE | hey is the tcl lib in apt? | 03:06 |
| Blacklife08 | mozilla 2.12 | 03:06 |
| Pici | REDLiNE: yes...... | 03:06 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: lol :] should i have tried ndiswrapper-common? | 03:06 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: yes | 03:06 |
| shadeofgrey | can someone savwe me a whole lot of trouble and classify on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard it is to take a leopard based daual boot with vista via bootcamp and then add ubuntu linux 8.10? | 03:06 |
| REDLiNE | Pici i did the search cmd it comes up with like 50lines..... | 03:06 |
| plux | prettyricky: nope, but you got the konqurer browser, that uses KHTML, that is the stuff webkit is based on | 03:06 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: i'm just looking to see what else you need. Think you also need ndiswrapper-utils and module | 03:07 |
| REDLiNE | what would the name be? | 03:07 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: ok well i have ndiswrapper-common | 03:07 |
| prettyricky | yeah I was just trying to see if I can get Safari | 03:07 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: ok | 03:07 |
| Pici | REDLiNE: tcl perhaps | 03:07 |
| Boohbah | shadeofgrey: 11 | 03:07 |
| Starnestommy | REDLiNE: try tcl8.4 and tcl8.4-dev | 03:07 |
| amazen720 | has anyone ever installed 'gtag' on Ubuntu 7.10? | 03:08 |
| Pici | amazen720: What is gtag? | 03:08 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: ok also install ndiswrapper-utils | 03:08 |
| plux | prettyricky: http://mondaybynoon.com/2007/04/23/installing-and-running-webkit-in-linux-using-qt/ you can do that, it's webkit that renders the pages in safari | 03:08 |
| shadeofgrey | Booh - what if i killed vista entirely? | 03:08 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61546/ | 03:08 |
| HoboBen | prettyricky - you can run Safari in wine, but the interface is slow and not pretty. I'd only do it for testing PHP scripts that treat safari's useragent specially | 03:08 |
| prettyricky | thanks for the info! | 03:08 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: it ways ndiswrapper-common replaces ndiswrapper-utils | 03:08 |
| prettyricky | yeah I tried that didn't like it | 03:08 |
| prettyricky | thank you though | 03:09 |
| xavierpwns | says* | 03:09 |
| masterEder | ~/wc | 03:09 |
| REDLiNE | Starnestommy done that now were would it have been installed the lib file right? | 03:09 |
| amazen720 | Pici: suppose to allow you to tag files, like mp3 files with (artist)(Genre) | 03:09 |
| stroyan | amazen720: the 'tagtool' package from the universe repository looks like a solid equivalent to gtag. | 03:09 |
| jaffarkelshac | any good ubuntu games | 03:09 |
| shadeofgrey | Boohbah, could you point me in the direction of instructions? | 03:09 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: ok then that's fine. I just looked at the ndiswrapper-utils and it says it depends on ndiswrappe-common. install it anyway nad we'll see what happens next | 03:09 |
| andash | shadeofgrey: my guess is that he's joking, because of the "8.10"... it's 8.04 | 03:09 |
| Starnestommy | REDLiNE: maybe /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so | 03:10 |
| Pici | amazen720: I dont see it in the repositories, but other tagging programs exists, like easytag | 03:10 |
| shadeofgrey | andash, well that still doesnt get me any closer to the end goal | 03:10 |
| amazen720 | stroyan: thanks I'll check it out | 03:10 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> i will assume here that an Intel gigabit card is supported on ubuntu, but am not 100% sure...but ifyou do an "sudo ifup eth0" you are not getting an ip address though right? | 03:10 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: you'll also need the windows driver for your card. Notably, you need the .inf file | 03:10 |
| andash | shadeofgrey: no of course not. i have no experience with bootcamp, so i can't help you. sorry | 03:10 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: i've got ndiswrapper-common already installed. there's no way to install the -utils | 03:11 |

| talntid | Can someone assist me in getting my Intel Pro Wireless 1395 wireless card working? :) | 03:16 |
| wil | Jeffreyf, I use virtualbox and love it :) but I have a .vmdk file and I can not convert it or use it in anything other than vmware player | 03:17 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: if it's on my desktop what would i put? | 03:17 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: No, it's a desktop PC, and that last command just came back as "Is a directory" | 03:17 |
| xb3rt | Where are some good linux project website | 03:17 |
| xb3rt | s | 03:17 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: I'm still in root, though, should I get out of that? | 03:17 |
| Llewxam | hi guys. i have a problem with my internal mic on a hp dv6000. it's not recording sound. | 03:17 |
| bazhang | talntid: that is the 3945 you mean? | 03:17 |
| amenado | Traveler yes its a directory, i'd like to know what it listed | 03:17 |
| wil | andash, thanks, but i dont need anything advanced, i use virtualbox and love it, I just have one .vmdk file that I need to open | 03:17 |
| whisperkiller | yeah...im still trying to figure out my wirless card....i found what looks like it but it is labled as an intel network controller....problem is im trying to find the chipset for it and i cant crossreference it because the intel card isnt listed | 03:17 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> just stay as root | 03:17 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/xavierpwns/Desktop/broadcom-folder/something.inf | 03:17 |
| talntid | Let me confirm | 03:17 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: where xavierpwns is your username on your linux machine | 03:18 |
| Mooga | I've been having nothing but problems trying to get my videocard to work right in linux | 03:18 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: and broadcom-folder is the folder where the driver is ketp | 03:18 |
| talntid | Nope. 1395. | 03:18 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: It didn't tell me anything other then "is a directory" it didn't list anything. | 03:18 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> look around /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless | 03:18 |
| Mooga | can anyone help? I have an ATI x1600 pro | 03:18 |
| Scunizi | cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf returns "Is a directory" amenado | 03:18 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: driver is already installed | 03:19 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> yes i expected that as being a directory and expect lo should be listed there as minimum | 03:19 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: ok, can you do sudo ndiswrapper -l | 03:19 |
| amenado | Scunizi-> ditto | 03:19 |
| whisperkiller | amenado: can you elaborate a bit on that please? | 03:19 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: does it list your card and an 'ok'? | 03:19 |
| bazhang | talntid: the dell 1395? what does lspci say about that card in the terminal (just one line) | 03:19 |
| andash | wil: well try downloading the .tar then, its probably just ./configure, make, sudo make install | 03:20 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> visit that directory first | 03:20 |
| Scunizi | amenado, I've got you and Traveler4 listed for highlighting.. I'm interested in the solution.. | 03:20 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: I'm not sure what you want me to paste, though. The only thing it returned was "is a directory" | 03:20 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: it says my driver is installed but my windows as an invalid driver o.0 wtf? | 03:20 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> and you should see your wireless chip listed there | 03:20 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: it should say "driver installed" and on the next line "ddevice present" | 03:20 |
| whisperkiller | amenado i dont understand how to get there | 03:21 |
| khaotik | could anyone help me out with some quaestions about my wireless?? | 03:21 |
| whisperkiller | do i enter the command as written on cd? | 03:21 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: hmmm, that's odd. Must think that your windows driver isthe wrong one. Or that its missing some important files | 03:21 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> am expecting as minimum an lo -- lo is loopback interface and it should exist on that directory, since it doesnt, something is amiss | 03:21 |
| bazhang | khaotik: ask, and if someone knows they will answer | 03:21 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: did the .inf file come with any other files? and if so, are they in the same folder as the .inf? | 03:22 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> change directory == cd | 03:22 |
| automads | I have got a "kernel panic" now, I .. Accidently shut down while Synaptic still was operating. Anything I can do? | 03:22 |
| Pici | whisperkiller: lshw should list all your devices. | 03:22 |
| whisperkiller | do i do cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless ? | 03:22 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: hold on let me try something | 03:22 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: Yeah... so what would the next step be? | 03:22 |
| Scunizi | amenado, I know I have a loop back and I only got "Is a directory" when initiating that command. | 03:22 |
| bazhang | talntid: the dell 1395 is the broadcom card | 03:22 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> yes, and should see a list of chips names.. | 03:22 |
| whisperkiller | pici i need the chipset for the wireless card | 03:22 |
| Lazarus | I have a question regarding VNC: I installed 8.04 on a PC, and I can vnc into the machine to "share" the desktop with the logged on user; but I want to be able to VNC into an entirely new session...so two people can use the computer at the same time. | 03:23 |

| sabhain | is there a specific channel for X11 / nvidia driver problems? | 03:23 |
| Pelo | mw-home, ask a specific question, what do you want to acheive ? | 03:23 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: ok i've got a file named "wifi" and it's got all kinds of files in it | 03:23 |
| unop | poseidon, what do you want to do? | 03:23 |
| Lazarus | Since this is a busy forum, I'd be grateful for a privat message chat to discuss this. | 03:23 |
| Pelo | poseidon, ctrl alt backspace will restart X | 03:23 |
| Scunizi | amenado, yes.. when using cat.. however when using ls I get "all default eth0 lo vmnet1 & vmnet8 | 03:23 |
| Pici | poseidon: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart xwindows, you'd have to invoke the sysrq keys to reboot the entire machine. | 03:24 |
| khaotik | well i had my wireless chip working when i installed ubuntu from a copy i downloaded off of the site. my wireless worked perfect after reading every forum out there. i had to do a full reinstall of ubuntu but this time i used the disk they sent me in the mail and now the same way i got my wireless to work no longer works. if that makes any sense? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | Lazarus: wrong channel for Hardy | 03:24 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> umm let me think for a few.. | 03:24 |
| Llewxam | anyone that know how to work with alsa and internal mics on laptops? it used to work before now it won't record anything. | 03:24 |
| Pici | Lazarus: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. | 03:24 |
| mw-home | Pelo: It seems like helvetica in firefox isn't available for me. Instead, I get the default sans-serif font. Am wondering if anyone else faces the same problem. | 03:24 |
| whisperkiller | amenado which one of these is the chipset for my wireless card? | 03:24 |

| amenado | Traveler4-> did i typed cat? i meant ls -la /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf my typo earlier | 03:24 |
| unop | poseidon, ctrl+alt+del works at a virtual terminal -- which you can get to by ctrl+alt+FX (X being a number from 1-12) | 03:24 |
| automads | Msg: 12.333078 kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init | 03:24 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: when you do the ndiswrapper -i you need to make sure that you point to the .inf file for your driver and that the driver is in the original folder that it came from | 03:25 |
| khaotik | is there a reason for this? | 03:25 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> match it with lshw -C network names should be related to what is listed | 03:25 |
| mw-home | thanks | 03:25 |
| webtoe | a .inf is just a text file which points to other files and if the .inf can't find these other files it will have a problem | 03:25 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: ah, that's different. Let me try that. | 03:25 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: it is and i did. i had to double check | 03:25 |
| khaotik | and yes i am working with the dreaded bcm43xx | 03:25 |
| tseug | when i type 'top' in terminal, it says my udevd is taking up 91% of CPU. what can i do about this??? | 03:25 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: well maybe it just hates you then... | 03:25 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: let me have a think | 03:26 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: that's what im thinking :[ this is horrible | 03:26 |
| Jeffreyf | Wil, are you still here? | 03:26 |
| Pelo | tseug, do you have a lot of usb devices pluged in ? | 03:26 |
| whisperkiller | http://www.pastebin.ca/962904 | 03:26 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: what wirless card is it again? what does sudo lspci say? | 03:26 |
| tseug | pelo, no no cd , no usb no nothing | 03:26 |
| khaotik | it is starting to drive me crazy, i really need my wireless to work for school and my job because i went full install of ubuntu | 03:26 |
| whisperkiller | so i type lshw -C ? | 03:26 |
| Pelo | tseug, is this recent or is it always like this ? | 03:26 |
| whisperkiller | or lshw -C network? | 03:27 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> yes.. | 03:27 |
| tseug | pelo, this has happened ever since i've upgraded from feisty to gutsy | 03:27 |
| Pelo | !who | whisperkiller | 03:27 |
| ubotu | whisperkiller: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:27 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: Don't worry, you're not the only one, and this isn't the only card. Wireless is a pain in the backside due to the way different manufacturers make cards. Sometimes, differnet windows drivers will work and others wont' | 03:27 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: god all these names popped up. i know it's a broadcom | 03:27 |
| Pelo | tseug, no idean, try searching for udev 100% cpu in the forum | 03:27 |
| Jeffreyf | wil: did you get me link? | 03:27 |
| tseug | pelo, what forum | 03:27 |
| Pelo | tseug, www.ubuntuforums.org | 03:28 |
| tseug | pelo thanks. | 03:28 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: i would tell you to dump it in a paste bin but I don't know of any (never had to use them) | 03:28 |
| amenado | whisperkiller-> yes.. lshw -C network | 03:28 |
| wil | Jeffreyf, sorry, still here and see the link.... someone at my front door 3:30AM.... got scared and turned off lights e.t.c.! | 03:28 |
| webtoe | thank you amenado | 03:28 |
| * Pelo hopes hardy makes him surplus to requriements as a helper | 03:28 | |
| khaotik | i dont know if i should reboot with another copy of the downloaded file or use the disk they sent to me. does this even make a difference? | 03:28 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61548/ | 03:29 |
| amenado | webtoe you are welcome | 03:29 |
| Jeffreyf | wil: not tested, but it is a start | 03:29 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: i think im going to wait until 8.04 comes out, and use my desktop until then. if it doesn't work after 8.04 im going back to, dare i say it, XP :[ | 03:29 |
| whisperkiller | ok does ipw3945 sound like the chipset for an intel wireless card? | 03:29 |
| Pici | whisperkiller: yes | 03:29 |
| usser | whisperkiller: indeed | 03:29 |
| === reconnect is now known as recon | ||
| whisperkiller | thanks guys | 03:29 |
| whisperkiller | i appreciate it | 03:30 |
| bazhang | whisperkiller: the best there is | 03:30 |
| webtoe | xavierpwns: That's a shame. Unfortunately wifi makers left us up a certain creek without a paddle and broadcom can be a bit of a pain due to how they make their cards | 03:30 |
| wil | Jeffreyf, didnt know it supported vmdk, il do it right now and let you know... tbh, I didnt even try opening it, I just thought vmdk was propietry and nothing else could use it | 03:30 |
| webtoe | Xavierpwns: sorry i couldn't be more help but please try again with the next release and we'll try again! | 03:30 |
| webtoe | the open source community is nothing if not persistent.... | 03:30 |
| xavierpwns | webtoe: exactly :/ i'll try with Dell tomorrow when they are open and see what they can do. thanks for trying. :] you've been the most help i've had all day | 03:30 |
| bazhang | Pelo: that will never happen ;] | 03:30 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> its there as expected..am still perplexed why it can not obtain an ip address.. you have a good cat5 cable? can you swiitch your cables between those other working pc connectd to same router? | 03:31 |
| Jeffreyf | wil: it doesn't convert it......the link tells you how to convert it.......make sure you keep a safe copy of your original file just in case | 03:31 |
| khaotik | webtoe: could you tell me if i am doing something wrong trying to install my broadcom driver? | 03:31 |
| Pelo | bazhang, it's just that the questions here are getting harder and harder, and I'm not that 1337 to begin with | 03:31 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> i suspect its the cable not connected to the router, or not plugged in tight, loose connection perhaps? | 03:31 |
| bazhang | Pelo: just wait for wubi support ;] | 03:32 |
| robby_kane | i was just in #K3B | 03:32 |
| whisperkiller | bazhang: who makes that chipset? | 03:32 |
| xavierpwns | khaotik: throw it out the window | 03:32 |
| robby_kane | and everyone is away and i cant burn a dvd-rw | 03:32 |
| webtoe | khaotik: I might be able to but I don't have a broadcom chip so I can only offer adivce, not tell you what to do | 03:32 |
| Scunizi | amenado, good thought.. "Make sure it's plugged in".. or maybe there's a power outage :) | 03:32 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: The cat5 cable has worked fine in the past, and earlier today when Windows was installed. I dunno, I guess I'll keep messing with it. | 03:32 |
| bazhang | whisperkiller: intel and it is the best supported in linux/ubuntu bar none | 03:32 |
| robby_kane | i got my drive to burn a cd-rw | 03:32 |
| Pelo | bazhang, does the word "NEVER !!" mean anything to you ? | 03:32 |
| whisperkiller | does aircrack-ng support it? | 03:32 |
| bazhang | Pelo: ;] | 03:32 |
| robby_kane | but im going to reinstall ubunto so that i can install winxp 2 | 03:32 |
| robby_kane | enyone know how to get k3b to burn a dvd-rw | 03:33 |
| wil | Jeffreyf, thanks so much! I can't believe I didn't try this earlier.... doesnt need converting or anything! virtualbox supports vmdk files out of the box! I just set the hard drive file to it and it works straight away! brilliant, thanks | 03:33 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: There is also a light on the back of the motherboard where I plug the cable in that lights up when there's a connection... and it's lit. | 03:33 |
| Scunizi | amenado, maybe manually setting ip & dns | 03:33 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> try switching the cables, one from a working unit | 03:33 |
| bazhang | robby_kane: do windows first then ubuntu will be easiest | 03:33 |
| khaotik | thats what i am about to do xavier. see whats bothering me is i had it working seamless due to this thread i read. after i did a reboot it does not work | 03:33 |
| Traveler4 | Nothing has changed since this morning. | 03:33 |
| whisperkiller | im a net-sec student and im trying to put together a security suite together | 03:33 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> try switching the cables, one from a working unit..just for kicks.. | 03:33 |
| usser | robby_kane: shouldn't be any problem if you have dvd writer that supports dvd-rw | 03:33 |
| robby_kane | ya but i want to burn stuff to a dvd-rw | 03:33 |
| khaotik | i am doing the exact same thing i did when i got the light to turn blue | 03:33 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, you just select the drive to burn to after you hit the burn button | 03:33 |
| robby_kane | has nothing to do with installing windows | 03:33 |
| robby_kane | i did | 03:34 |
| robby_kane | it dowent want to burn to the dvd | 03:34 |
| robby_kane | the dvd is empty | 03:34 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, there should be a menu entry in tools to format the rw media | 03:34 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: That's a rather difficult thign with the way this network is set up... but I'll see what I can do. | 03:34 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> possibly the port on that router has gone bad or just faulty for now? reset the router too..offcourse youd get disconnected here temporarily | 03:34 |
| robby_kane | cant its blank | 03:34 |
| robby_kane | rofl | 03:34 |
| robby_kane | it wont let me | 03:34 |
| Traveler4 | amenado: I'll be back in a little bit, I suppose. | 03:34 |
| bazhang | !enter | robby_kane | 03:35 |
| ubotu | robby_kane: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:35 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, hardware problem then | 03:35 |
| amenado | Traveler4-> only way to verify...physical touch..hehe | 03:35 |
| robby_kane | no cose i burned a dvd-rw with ubuntu on it | 03:35 |
| jaffarkelshac | how do i clear ubuntu termial history | 03:35 |
| robby_kane | but when im in ubuntu i cant burn a dvd-rw | 03:35 |
| Scunizi | amenado, these kind of issues Traveler4 is having are sometimes the most aggravating.. | 03:35 |
| * Scunizi is back (gone 01:27:48) | 03:36 | |
| wil | Jeffreyf, doesnt work after all... it boots up, but then I get ... PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel. | 03:36 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, whatare you tring to burn to the media ? | 03:36 |
| khaotik | i think i have tried every thread there is on the subject. i have tried every single way that i have read about and still nothing | 03:36 |
| amenado | Scunizi-> been on installs that extends way past midnight because of loose wiring.. | 03:36 |
| robby_kane | it dosent madder what i try to burn... but im trying to burn an iso | 03:36 |
| usser | jaffarkelshac: just echo "" > ~/.bash_history | 03:36 |
| laolaochin | Hi | 03:36 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, use the burn dvd image enrty in the tool menu | 03:37 |
| Scunizi | amenado, :) :/ | 03:37 |
| laolaochin | My ubuntu cannot recognize the dvd drive in my laptop. | 03:37 |
| jaffarkelshac | usser cool | 03:37 |
| robby_kane | i did | 03:37 |
| robby_kane | it wont burn | 03:37 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, and yes it does matter , wheter you are trying to burn music, data , or iso | 03:37 |
| amenado | Scunizi-> what is worst is when patch panels are not labeled and you have to trace it yourself under the spaghettis of wiring | 03:37 |
| robby_kane | data right now | 03:37 |
| khaotik | is there no help for this problem? maybe i should be googling threads on how to reinstall vista | 03:37 |
| robby_kane | but iv also tryed an iso | 03:37 |
| webtoe | amendo: Amen bruuuther!!! | 03:38 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, re you sure you don'T have the tryout thingy enabled, ? check the various options as you go | 03:38 |
| robby_kane | when i go to burn it just ejects the disk | 03:38 |
| keith | Haloo test | 03:38 |
| Scunizi | amenado, I've only seen those.. never worked on them.. spaghetti is right | 03:38 |

| Pelo | robby_kane, did you think that the meida might be damaged ? | 03:38 |
| robby_kane | it reads as blank | 03:38 |
| Pelo | khaotik, what is your issue again ? | 03:38 |
| robby_kane | iv never burned enything | 03:38 |
| amenado | someone could make tons of money, with non tearing labels and labels all these cables in the wiring closet...hmm an idea. | 03:38 |
| Pelo | robby_kane, get a regular dvd to burn to | 03:39 |
| bazhang | robby_kane: try another disk | 03:39 |

| Stroganoff | this is one of the most hacked routers | 03:49 |
| transience | ok, is there a special way to install, or can i just use the graphical install? | 03:49 |

| webtoe | looks right to me | 03:52 |
| usser | adlin5000: did you try switching video driver ie xv to opengl perhaps | 03:52 |
| webtoe | khaotik: you need to install ndiswrapper | 03:52 |
| usser | adlin5000: its usually in player' | 03:53 |

| F3d0rA | SO if my Grpahics card will display up to 1900 x 1200 that does not mean that it will be available because of my LCD? | 03:58 |
| webtoe | wers: you have to download the plugin pack from their website and compile it yourself | 03:59 |
| F3d0rA | Will I at least see all the resolutions or not in the display properties? | 03:59 |
| F3d0rA | Or only see what is supported? | 03:59 |

| F3d0rA | hm, so if my monitor does not support 1900 x 12000 I will not see that option in the graphics card display properites? | 04:00 |
| F3d0rA | Reason I ask is I thought it was available and did a firmware update and thought that might have changed its display proerty settings I could be wrong | 04:01 |
| webtoe | F3d0rA: No there would be no point. That and it could be potentially dangerous to display it (in the old days ofCRT anyway) | 04:01 |
| Swanonymous | hey all, quick question (Hopefully).. why does firefox not accept the no-download java on partypoker? | 04:02 |

| khaotik | rebooting | 04:06 |
| carlzenox | what do u need sudo for? | 04:06 |
| webtoe | deniz_ your card needs to be put in monitor mode using airmon-ng. It may not support this. Then you need to retrieve packets then crack them with airsnort | 04:06 |

| Flynsarmy | Adys: I don't know how | 04:20 |
| Adys | Ill do it for you | 04:21 |
| Web_Warlord | is there anyone that can help me install drivers? i've been googling it using ubuntu forums and just fidling for like 5 hours anyone that can be of assistance? | 04:21 |
| Adys | Web_Warlord: which drivers? | 04:21 |
| Web_Warlord | wireless | 04:21 |
| Stroganoff | Web_Warlord | !wireless | 04:22 |
| Stroganoff | !wireless | Web_Warlord | 04:22 |
| ubotu | Web_Warlord: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:22 |
| Stroganoff | ^^ | 04:22 |
| khaotik | what kind of system do you have web_warlord? | 04:22 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: hang on a sec. Just reading up about your card. Think it coudl be more to do with driver support than anything | 04:23 |
| webtoe | can you type the command dmesg for me. and look for something talking about your wireless card? | 04:24 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, if I started in recovery console do I need to start the networking daemon? | 04:24 |
| === ethan961_ is now known as ethan961 | ||
| Kles | okay um | 04:24 |
| Flynsarmy | Web_Warlord: dmesg | grep Wireless might help with that | 04:25 |
| FFForever | !pod | 04:25 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pod - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:25 |
| Kles | I'm trying to get Quake source ports to build by using "make" | 04:25 |
| Kles | but every single time, it gives me a load of errors | 04:25 |
| Web_Warlord | Flynsarmy i have the drivers downloaded i'm just not sure what to do now | 04:25 |
| Web_Warlord | cause | 04:25 |
| Kles | and I've tried about 8 different ports that all screw up | 04:25 |
| Web_Warlord | there are these files | 04:25 |
| Kles | so I'm thinking it's an OS problem | 04:25 |
| Web_Warlord | and i don't know what to do with them | 04:25 |
| FloodBot1 | Web_Warlord: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:25 |
| orbisvicis | i recently overwrote some files and broke a package, how can i remove the package without removing the dependencies and not break apt ? | 04:25 |
| FFForever | what should i use for my ipod classic, amarok keeps destroying my play list, and the default ubuntu player won't play any of my music.... | 04:25 |
| khaotik | is there a way i can load my windows NeverWinterNights onto ubuntu | 04:25 |
| luckylin | Just a quick ThankYou to the ones who told me how to block websites and keywords in my WRT54G :-) it works! No more p2p networks at this IP :-) | 04:25 |
| Kles | the terminal is spitting out a load of errors | 04:25 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, basically I totally screwed xorg and need to get networking going to try and recover it | 04:26 |
| blbrown | Is hardy being released 4/1? | 04:26 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: no there is no networking daemon per se. Just a load of scritps that usually get run. | 04:26 |
| fyrstorm | blbrown, 4/24 or something like that | 04:26 |
| webtoe | fystorm: then you ned to get your machine to start you up in a console mode | 04:26 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: while in recovery mode, use the command nano /etc/inittab | 04:27 |
| khaotik | is there a way to load games onto ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| usser | khaotik: neverwinternights 1 should have no problem running in wine | 04:27 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, I am in console | 04:27 |
| khaotik | i have never used wine | 04:27 |
| Kles | does anyone know how to get stuff to build? | 04:27 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: hang on i was doing a fedora-ism just then | 04:27 |
| whisperkiller | how come when i go to places and select home folder it doesnt do anything all of a sudden? | 04:27 |
| dave11 | !hardy | 04:27 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 04:27 |
| Kles | because no matter what I try to build using "make", I always get a long string of errors | 04:27 |
| khaotik | do i insert the disk into my drive and let it run, or do i open wine to install | 04:28 |
| khaotik | ? | 04:28 |
| whisperkiller | also when i click on a mp3 file it changes from a music not to a sheet of paper and wont do anything | 04:28 |
| usser | khaotik: well its easy just head on to winehq.com grab the latest .deb install it | 04:28 |
| Kles | khaotik: Wine just works with Windows stuff | 04:28 |
| Kles | also um | 04:28 |
| Kles | anyone know of decent sound drivers? | 04:28 |
| Kles | the default stuff (ALSA) seems to just crackle like a campfire | 04:28 |
| dave11 | hardy is lts cool | 04:28 |
| orbisvicis | Kles, running configure should catch missing packages. running make and getting errors usually means the wrong dev packages are installed | 04:28 |
| Kles | and it's driving me nuts | 04:28 |
| usser | khaotik: and then when you pop in cd just right click autorun there should be open with... type in wine | 04:28 |
| Kles | orbisvicis: How do I do that? | 04:29 |
| khaotik | much appreciated. will give it a try | 04:29 |
| THEO|WxC | Graphics Question: I'm wanting to animate a bunch of 2d graphics into a high-res (HDTV) canvas. Source format is SVG, output format is sequence of frames in PNG. Any animation program suggestions? Tried Synfig (no go, since it doesn't import SVG), Blender (doable, but way too complicated for my needs), and GIMp Animation Package (poor documentation, can't figure out how to use it). Is there anything else? | 04:29 |
| Peddy | can someone please help me? I get this error when trying to start X: http://pastebin.ca/962946 :) | 04:29 |
| orbisvicis | Kles, for starters sudo apt-get build-dep XX, then google | 04:29 |
| Kles | is the "XX" something I have to fill in | 04:29 |
| Kles | or do I add that on there | 04:29 |
| orbisvicis | fill in | 04:30 |
| xb3rt | anybody know how to set up my laptop to act as an access point? | 04:30 |
| THEO|WxC | Peddy: are you unable to start X at all? | 04:30 |
| Kles | erm | 04:30 |
| Kles | where do I find what to fill in to "XX" | 04:30 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: did your wireless work fine before you broke X? | 04:30 |
| THEO|WxC | it looks like that isn't a big problem (that error message), since it says "fixing" | 04:30 |
| orbisvicis | Kles, synaptic. Say vlc, you want to compile. first you need the dependencies | 04:30 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, yes, but with NM | 04:31 |
| orbisvicis | kles, so apt-get build-dep vlc | 04:31 |
| Kles | so erm | 04:31 |
| orbisvicis | then is svn you might need random other libraries, so apt-cache search XX | 04:31 |
| Kles | is "XX" the folder that it's in? | 04:31 |
| orbisvicis | XX = package name | 04:31 |
| Web_Warlord | so basically, the documentation hasn't been of use i have the drivers downloaded and need to install them, not sure HOW to install them though | 04:31 |
| Kles | oh | 04:31 |
| Peddy | THEO|WxC, the cursor and a bakground just shows up. and it stays like that. | 04:31 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: so do you want to try fixing your problem with X? i don't know why your net isn't working while in single user mode. | 04:31 |
| Peddy | THEO|WxC but I can log in through gnome | 04:31 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: are you not able to ping anything? | 04:32 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, no and when I do iwconfig I have no connection, it | 04:32 |
| orbisvicis | kles, elsewhere. if its a disaster, shout my name | 04:32 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | uhh | 04:32 |
| THEO|WxC | Peddy: I just google'd the error, and it seems I might be right: that isn't a big deal, and probably isn't the reason you are having trouble. That error is just a warning about fonts, but the system automatically fixes it. | 04:32 |
| THEO|WxC | if you are having a problem, it is probably something else. | 04:33 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | where can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)? | 04:33 |
| Kles | okay what exactly is the "package name" | 04:33 |
| Flynsarmy | I have a problem with my volume settings where about 80% on the slider = 0% volume | 04:33 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, as far as X, I deleted a bunch of stuff and I am trying to rebuild it but I need to get connected | 04:33 |
| THEO|WxC | Peddy: you are trying to start X from the command line? | 04:33 |
| Kles | this comes in a folder called "tyrquake-0.58" | 04:33 |
| Kles | but that's not the package name | 04:33 |
| Kles | this is so confusing X_X | 04:33 |
| Flynsarmy | and 90% on the slider = 50% volume. 100=100 | 04:33 |
| === ethan961 is now known as TheEasterBunny | ||
| THEO|WxC | if so, there are usually a few commands and stuff you need to use. | 04:33 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: just as a quick aside, it might be quicker to plug in an ethernet cable and do it that way | 04:34 |
| Peddy | THEO|WxC, yes, and the error always stays like that. I am starting it from the command line, I want to run a separate x server. | 04:34 |
| damo22 | Flynsarmy: check PCM and Master volumes | 04:34 |
| usser | Flynsarmy: and PCM is maxed out too? | 04:34 |
| THEO|WxC | I can't remember any off the top of my head, since I never start X from the command line (always Gnome, the GDM) | 04:34 |
| usser | Flynsarmy: when you double click on your mixer | 04:34 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, I'll give it a try. If that works you want to help fix X? ;) | 04:34 |
| Kles | orbisvicis: Where would I find the "package name" exactly? | 04:34 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: i can give it a go. Also, you may want to do sudo /etc/init.d/networking start | 04:35 |
| damo22 | Kles: just a rough guess usually pops up the right package | 04:35 |
| THEO|WxC | Peddy: ah... a 2nd X server? in that case that isn't your problem for sure, and there are definately special options and commands you have to give on the command line for that to work. | 04:35 |
| Kles | well, nothing has | 04:35 |
| kenny | HELP AGAIN: Firefox is loading REALLY slow :( what can be the problem? | 04:35 |
| THEO|WxC | I can't help you much there, since it's been many many years since i've had to run multiple X servers, | 04:35 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: depends on the problem you're having with X. If you tell me now I can have a little look while you get your net sorted | 04:35 |
| Kles | the folder name doesn't work | 04:35 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | where can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)? | 04:35 |
| Kles | dropping the version number won't work | 04:35 |
| Kles | being very simple with it won't work | 04:36 |
| THEO|WxC | but I do remember it can be messy for beginners because there are some config files and commands you have to do special for it. | 04:36 |
| Flynsarmy | usser: PCM is at 100. Master is at 90. To get sound working i had to do this: sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic | 04:36 |
| usser | kenny: in terminal type killall -9 firefox, this will kill all instances of firefox after that try to launch it again | 04:36 |
| Kles | aaaaargh | 04:36 |
| damo22 | killall -9 firefox-bin | 04:36 |
| THEO|WxC | because X servers use ports, files, and all sorts of stuff that has to be set up separately for a 2nd server. | 04:36 |
| orbisvicis | Kles, what are you compiling? so steps: a) if it is the repositories (synaptic), search for it. Install build dep 2) if not go to the website where you got the package, search for any dependencies there. Install them. 3) read the INSTALL README files. 4) ./configure will tell you what else you need 5) when configure works make | 04:37 |
| Kles | I'm trying to compile this: http://disenchant.net/files/engine/tyrquake-0.58.tar.gz | 04:37 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, I broke it trying to get fglrx installed from .deb I am trying to get OpenGL working for games. | 04:37 |
| Kles | I went in to the readme of that | 04:37 |
| kenny | usser, process not killed! | 04:37 |
| Kles | and it simply said "just typing make at the console should work" | 04:37 |
| Kles | and it hasn't. | 04:37 |
| * Web_Warlord kills himself | 04:37 | |
| Peddy | THEO|WxC, I know, startx /usr/bin/gnome-wm -- :2 does not work, either (it starts gnome and gets stuck) | 04:37 |
| usser | Flynsarmy: hm I wouldn't know sorry, might be useful for people to know what sound chipset you use, I just solved that problem by installing an external sound card | 04:37 |
| damo22 | kenny: killall -9 firefox-bin | 04:38 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: what sort of ati card do you have? | 04:38 |
| usser | kenny: what damo22 says | 04:38 |
| mattias | hi, how do i perform an update of delux bittorrent client ?, the program tells me that there is an update but no update is performed when i say yes to make the update, it seems it is thinking for a while and than quits and the deluxe bittorrent program never starts ... | 04:38 |
| patrickva | kenny: sudo rm -rf / | 04:38 |
| usser | patrickva: wtf man | 04:38 |
| kenny | damo22, anyway not killed? no ther reasons? | 04:38 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: some of them have flakey fglrx drivers. My bosses laptop won't use any decent resolutions because of it | 04:38 |
| patrickva | Oh sorry | 04:38 |
| patrickva | Wrong channel | 04:39 |
| usser | haha | 04:39 |
| orbisvicis | yo peoples what's ubuntus metapackage for compilers: g++ bison yacc ld etc ? | 04:39 |
| patrickva | :D | 04:39 |
| usser | wth you would type that in any channel | 04:39 |
| patrickva | Because it rulez | 04:39 |
| usser | orbisvicis: I think you looking for build-essential | 04:39 |
| damo22 | patrickva: dont write that in here | 04:39 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, and the wired ethernet didn't work. I think it's because I am in recovery console from grub. The card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 and it is flaky but has worked in the past. | 04:39 |
| THEO|WxC | Peddy: sorry I can't help more, but I'm sure that font thing isn't the problem. | 04:39 |
| orbisvicis | Kles, do you have build-essential package ? | 04:39 |
| Flannel | orbisvicis: build-essential | 04:39 |
| webtoe | fyrstprm: ohhhhh | 04:39 |
| orbisvicis | thanks Flannel usser | 04:40 |
| THEO|WxC | anyone have a fav 2d animation program? | 04:40 |
| sintacto | 8.04 no sound with 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA High Definition Audio Controller (rev 10) | 04:40 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: no that won't work. Does it not boot into ubuntu? | 04:40 |
| Kles | hm | 04:40 |
| sintacto | pulse audio help? | 04:40 |
| Flannel | sintacto: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks. | 04:40 |
| Kles | I doubt it | 04:40 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, freezes on a black screen. | 04:40 |
| Kles | let me try to get this | 04:40 |
| Kles | this OS is so confusing :S | 04:40 |
| sintacto | ubuntu+1 no help | 04:40 |
| Flannel | sintacto: Hardy is offtopic in this channel. | 04:40 |
| sintacto | ok sorry | 04:40 |
| sintacto | gonna go | 04:41 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, I tried alt-f2 to get into console to no avail. | 04:41 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | where can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)? | 04:41 |
| kenny | FIREFOX is running very slow! help please :( | 04:41 |
| mattias | anyone knows how to perform an update from the comsole windows for deluxe bittorrent client ????, or can sugest me an better torrent prgroam ... | 04:41 |
| Scunizi | Kles, only for a while.. espicially when coming from windows. | 04:41 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: in grub, highlight your ubuntu line (usually the top one, the default) press 'e' for edit, then press 'e' to edit the second line on the next page. then scroll to the end of that really long line | 04:41 |
| Peddy | THEO|WxC, I won't bother you if you don't want me to, but it gives this error in the terminal: Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server | 04:41 |
| Peddy | Xlib: No protocol specified | 04:41 |
| usser | kenny: well try opera | 04:41 |
| Kles | well I'll be quite honest | 04:41 |
| damo22 | fyrstorm: ctrl-alt-f2 | 04:41 |
| Web_Warlord | so is there a terminal command or something to load drivers that i have downloaded? | 04:41 |
| usser | kenny: opera.com the installation is pretty straightforward | 04:41 |
| Kles | I'm only on Linux because my XP key has run out of damn validations | 04:41 |
| kenny | usser, can I download it through aptitude? | 04:41 |
| Kles | because this computer is so unstable that I've had to reinstall it repeatedly | 04:41 |
| usser | kenny: yes after you add opera.com repo | 04:42 |
| Kles | and Ubuntu has been nothing but a nonstop headache for me | 04:42 |
| usser | kenny: one sec | 04:42 |
| jrib | Kles: call microsoft then, they will give you the code you need | 04:42 |
| mattias | Web_Warlord: what are you trying to do ? | 04:42 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: then type single at the end of the line | 04:42 |
| Kles | well, I bought a new one | 04:42 |
| fyrstorm | damo22, tried that too | 04:42 |
| Kles | but I'm waiting for my new motherboard to arrive so I can build my new computer | 04:42 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: then press 'b' to boot from that line | 04:42 |
| Kles | hopefully TigerDirect doesn't ship me more busted parts | 04:42 |
| Kles | let's see, broken motherboard, opened up and stuffed 8600, case with a massive dent in it | 04:42 |
| damo22 | fyrstorm: does your keyboard have F-lock? | 04:42 |
| kindofabuzz | init 5 is pure cl right? or is it 3? | 04:42 |
| Kles | yeah, great damn service | 04:42 |
| Kles | X_X | 04:42 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: sorry, press enter to confirm your edit. Then press 'b' to boot from that line | 04:43 |
| FloodBot1 | Kles: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:43 |
| Scunizi | Kles, that's too bad.. linux is about as stable as you'll get.. Tigerdirect is pretty good. I'v built several machines from them | 04:43 |
| Kles | yeah, that's the weird thing | 04:43 |
| Kles | they've always been very reliable with me | 04:43 |
| Web_Warlord | mattias i am trying to install drivers so i can have wireless internet and i can't figure out how to install them :( | 04:43 |
| Kles | but lately? just horrendous | 04:43 |
| orbisvicis | Scunizi, i avoid tigerdirect like the plague | 04:43 |
| Kles | as for linux being stable? ehhhh | 04:43 |
| Kles | from my experience | 04:43 |
| Kles | I've had to restart Pidgin and Firefox repeatedly because they just stop redrawing the screen | 04:43 |
| === TheEasterBunny is now known as TheEasterBunnay | ||
| Scunizi | Kles, you gotta get use to it.. once there it just works.. sounds like a vid card issue. | 04:44 |
| Kles | and as I've said before, listening to anything is impossible | 04:44 |
| usser | kenny: ok do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure/add the following line at the bottom deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner | 04:44 |
| usser | 04:44 | |
| cdecarlo_ | Stroganoff: hey thanks a million! it's so much better now | 04:44 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, ok it's trying to boot. | 04:44 |
| usser | kenny: after added it do sudo apt-get update | 04:44 |
| Kles | because if I have a program open more than a minute, the sound just starts cracking like a camp fire | 04:44 |
| jrib | Kles: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 04:44 |
| usser | kenny: and apt-get install opera | 04:44 |
| Transience | i'm trying to install ubuntu on my intel iMac, but the graphical instaler won't work. What do i do? | 04:44 |
| Kles | well, I did | 04:44 |
| kenny | usser, thanks | 04:44 |
| Flannel | Transience: Try the alternate CD | 04:44 |
| Kles | I'm installing new packages to see if something works | 04:44 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: it should dump you at a command console | 04:45 |
| Transience | alternate cd? | 04:45 |
| Scunizi | Kles, what are you trying to get working | 04:45 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, blackscreen and hdd has stopped spinning with no console. Let's try again | 04:45 |
| Kles | trying to build some things | 04:45 |
| Kles | I'm just waiting for the stuff to install | 04:45 |
| cdecarlo_ | Transience: ya man, the alternate is awesome | 04:45 |
| Kles | although in the mean time, might as well ask another question | 04:45 |
| Kles | what is the best general sound driver | 04:45 |
| jrib | Kles: try to keep your responses on a single line | 04:45 |
| Kles | or, at least, how can I get ALSA to not crackle | 04:46 |
| usser | Kles: chipsets with ac'97 and successors work the best | 04:46 |
| usser | Kles: bah sorry, wrong question, well ALSA is the way to go | 04:46 |
| Scunizi | Kles, the default work just fine.. in the next upgrade .. hardy.. they will change it from alsa to pulseaudio | 04:46 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, I want to edit the "kernel" line or "initrd"? | 04:46 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: the kernel line | 04:46 |
| Kles | Scunizi: No, I can't listen to anything that isn't a sound effect | 04:46 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-8-386 or somethign similar | 04:47 |
| Kles | music or any consistent sound is so distorted that I have to mute it | 04:47 |
| Kles | even with my headphones next to me on the desk, I can't stand it | 04:47 |
| cdecarlo_ | Kles: ya, you could install pulseaudio, I had the same crackling problem on my Dell 5100 | 04:47 |
| Kles | hmmm | 04:47 |
| orbisvicis | i need to purge a certain package without removing dependencies, how do i do this ? | 04:47 |
| cdecarlo_ | Kles: there is a great how to | 04:47 |
| Scunizi | Kles, sounds like you have all kinds of issues with this machine. | 04:47 |
| usser | hehe | 04:47 |
| Kles | Scunizi: There's a reason I just busted in to another channel and typed "EVERYTHING IS BROKEN" | 04:47 |
| Scunizi | Kles, like cdecarlo said . you can install pulseaudio | 04:48 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: dependencies won't get removed. Do you mean reverse dependencies? Anyway, why do you want to? Be more specific | 04:48 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, now when I open it up the 'single' that I added last time is not there. | 04:48 |
| dave11 | !pulseaudio | 04:48 |
| ubotu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 04:48 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: yeah its not saved, you have to add it every time to the kernel line | 04:48 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: it should tell the computer to boot into single user mode | 04:49 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, yes, without removing dependent packages. I accidently overwrite some libraries from a svn version, now i need to purge the both and find which files are left behind screwing things up | 04:49 |
| carlzenox | anyone know a good program like 'kismet' but simpler to use =/ | 04:49 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: what package is this? | 04:50 |
| orbisvicis | carlzenox, good people dont need kismet | 04:50 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, libjack, jackd | 04:50 |
| Stroganoff | orbisvicis: just look an the contents of the packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com | 04:50 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: why not reinstall and then remove the extra stuff? | 04:50 |
| anaoum | what would be the bash equivalent of this z shellwhile (sleep 100 &!) do; done | 04:51 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: i'm really sorry but I might ahve to go in a minute. Its nearly five in the morning here and still haven;t slept yet | 04:51 |
| anaoum | while (sleep 100 &!) do; done | 04:51 |
| orbisvicis | Stroganoff, unfortuantely the packages share the same names and locations | 04:51 |
| JonathanEllis | Help please. I've messed up the file permissions on /home/jonathan and now I cant start any applications to put it right - not even terminal. | 04:51 |
| jrib | anaoum: try #bash | 04:51 |
| anaoum | thanks | 04:51 |
| sintacto | flannel? | 04:51 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, ok that didn't work, but, I did ctrl-alt f2 and it is stalled at " kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." and nothing is happening. | 04:51 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: how did you mess them up? What exactly did you type? | 04:52 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, i jave tried to reinstall - which should overwrite the files - but no luck | 04:52 |
| Stroganoff | orbisvicis: sudo apt-get reinstall | 04:52 |
| Stroganoff | k | 04:52 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, ouch. get some sleep. I am sure someone else can help out | 04:52 |
| * Web_Warlord rekills himself cause he is starving from lack of wireless | 04:52 | |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, If all else fails I will do a fresh install. | 04:53 |
| sintacto | flannel is the best helper ever! | 04:53 |
| orbisvicis | JonathanEllis, sudo init 0 and sudo chown -r user:group ~/ | 04:53 |
| orbisvicis | wait i think init 0 | 04:53 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: why? | 04:53 |
| orbisvicis | better no init 1 | 04:53 |
| webtoe | fyrstorm: ok dokey. SOrry, usually these things can be fixed but its not easy if you don't know how | 04:53 |
| webtoe | night all | 04:53 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, why what ? | 04:54 |
| fyrstorm | webtoe, night thanks for trying. | 04:54 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: why are you suggesting that to JonathanEllis? | 04:54 |
| CookieMonster | how do you recover data from a linux partition | 04:54 |
| Dipingo | hey all, can someone help me to figure out why Umbuntu running on VMware server has no interent access? | 04:54 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, quick and simple to go to single user mode and recover ownership | 04:54 |
| cameo357 | When you download a package to install where should it go? | 04:54 |
| sy001 | sy001 | 04:54 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: if he can sudo, then why would he need to go to single user mode? | 04:55 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: can you boot a live cd? | 04:55 |
| CookieMonster | yes | 04:55 |
| CookieMonster | but the live cd canot see the partition | 04:55 |
| Scunizi | cameo357, what did you download..from synaptic.. add/remove// or website | 04:55 |
| CookieMonster | or reaad it | 04:55 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, he cant access bash | 04:55 |
| cameo357 | website | 04:55 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: so how will he run those commands | 04:55 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, init 1 | 04:55 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: could you mount the partition> | 04:55 |
| cdecarlo_ | ? | 04:55 |
| CookieMonster | ummm | 04:56 |
| fyrstorm | So webtoe was trying to help me work through my disaster. Anyone else want to try it? | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | idunno | 04:56 |
| Scunizi | cameo357, well then it would depend on how your Firefox is setup. look in FF options for the download location | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | i can see the partition in windows | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | but | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | only as RAW data | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | it cannot access the files either | 04:56 |
| Shadow420 | when I run grub-install /dev/sdb1 I get could not find device for /boot Not found or not a block device | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | and grub wont install either | 04:56 |
| cameo357 | ok ty | 04:56 |
| jrib | !enter | CookieMonster | 04:56 |
| ubotu | CookieMonster: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:56 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: do you know where the parttion is /dev/hdaX? | 04:56 |
| Scunizi | cameo357, what did you download.. | 04:56 |
| CookieMonster | nope | 04:56 |
| * Dipingo loves channel bots | 04:57 | |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: so you're dual booting? win/ubuntu? | 04:57 |
| Shadow420 | when I run grub-install /dev/sdb1 I get could not find device for /boot Not found or not a block device any ideas? | 04:57 |
| CookieMonster | yep | 04:57 |
| CookieMonster | i had windows read the partition | 04:57 |
| CookieMonster | but | 04:57 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: and Ubuntu went on second? | 04:57 |
| CookieMonster | its not reading anymore | 04:57 |
| CookieMonster | yea | 04:57 |
| jrib | CookieMonster: stop pressing enter... | 04:58 |
| CookieMonster | =\ | 04:58 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, heh oh yeah sudo init 1 wont work | 04:58 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: we need to find out what he did exactly I think. Still with us JonathanEllis? | 04:58 |
| fyrstorm | I need help getting logged in to console. I broke X and the system is locking up during boot. I can however get into "recovery console" from grub but I need networking to fix my disaster. | 04:58 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: is this a laptop | 04:59 |
| CookieMonster | so basically, my linux partiton messed up due to not shutting it off right | 04:59 |
| CookieMonster | then somehow grub messed up | 04:59 |
| CookieMonster | this is a desktop | 04:59 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, adding the word Single to the kernel options in grub would though : \ | 04:59 |
| CookieMonster | and so now grub wont even load so i cannot access the linux partition | 05:00 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: if you read through the dpkg man page, you will learn of some force options that may allow you to do what you asked earlier, but you're playing with fire. I believe reinstall would (should) work better though. In the future you should install things you compile to /usr/local/ | 05:00 |
| sergio_ | does someone knows if the new gnome release is going to support multiple desktops backgrounds? | 05:00 |
| cameo351 | My windows don't minimize, they just go away. Any one know why? | 05:00 |
| jrib | orbisvicis: ubuntu has a "recovery mode" option in the grub menu that gives you a root shell, that's probably the easiest way | 05:00 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, if x is broke why do you need networking to fix it? from the recovery console go to /etc/X11/ look at xorg.conf.. in the beginning of the file there is a line to rebuild xorg which drives x | 05:00 |
| cdecarlo_ | fyrstorm: you can switch to another console by using ctrl+alt+F#, ie. ctrl+alt+F1, ctrl+alt+F7 is X | 05:01 |
| jrib | cameo351: do you have the "window list" applet added to your panel? | 05:01 |
| cameo351 | no | 05:01 |
| jrib | cameo351: try adding it | 05:01 |
| orbisvicis | jrib, right | 05:01 |
| CookieMonster | so is there a way to revoer the partition | 05:01 |
| fyrstorm | cdecarlo, I know and have tried that but it isn't completing the boot process. | 05:01 |
| cameo351 | ok | 05:01 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: there's got to be | 05:01 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: The problem started after I shared /home/jonathan so I could copy all my documents, videos etc to my laptop. When I tried to start copying files I got a message that I didnt have permission. I didnt understand why since I login as the same username and password to both machines. However, as a workaround, I added permissions for rwx for ugo, using the file manager. This meant I was able to copy all the files I needed. However, next time I boote | 05:01 |
| Shadow420 | how do I install grub to my linux drive so I can dual-boot using WinXP Bootloader | 05:01 |
| CookieMonster | ok | 05:01 |
| CookieMonster | so | 05:01 |
| CookieMonster | how would i do it | 05:01 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, because i deleted some files and need to use apt to get them back | 05:02 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: your message was truncated at "next time I boote" | 05:02 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, what got deleted? | 05:02 |
| Dipingo | CookieMonster, keep your elbow off the enter key | 05:02 |
| simtower | Schrödinger's LOLcat is in UR quantum box... maybe. | 05:02 |
| JonathanEllis | I am aware that various people have said various things to me but unfortunately I missed them all as I was writing my answer to jrib | 05:02 |
| CookieMonster | :( i need that data back | 05:03 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: However, next time I booted up the desktop I got an error message that the permissions were incorrect on /home/jonathan and that I should change them using chmod. Unfortunately I didnt write down this error message so I am trying to remember. I think it said to change the permission to 411, and I think thats what I did (chmod 411 /home/jonathan). Now I cant do anything: I cant start any applications at all - not even terminal or file manager b | 05:03 |
| Shadow420 | Because I want to keep WinXP bootloader in my MBR | 05:03 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: are you on a different computer? | 05:03 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: I'm not a partition guru or anything but I would imagine that if you want to get at the linux partition you need to figure out which device it's at and then mount it; ie /dev/had1 | 05:03 |
| cdecarlo_ | */dev/hda1 | 05:03 |
| JonathanEllis | Yes. I am typing all this on my laptop but the problem is on my desktop | 05:03 |
| CookieMonster | i believe its 3 | 05:04 |
| CookieMonster | not too sure though | 05:04 |
| cdecarlo_ | and it's ext3 ? | 05:04 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: k, hit ctrl-alt-f1 on the desktop, does that let you login to a tty? | 05:04 |
| CookieMonster | this drive has 3 partitions. 1 being windows, the other is the factory recovery and the third being ubuntu | 05:04 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, you should have networking in recover console.. there are web browsers that run there and there's also wget that will dowload files.. there's also aptitude which is like synaptic but for the console to download apps and whatnot | 05:04 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: OK, done that and now I have a black screen. How long should it take before something happens? | 05:05 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, I have tried wired and wireless without success. | 05:05 |
| CookieMonster | was that really necessary | 05:05 |
| CookieMonster | how do i figure that out | 05:06 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: so no place to login then? | 05:06 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: Just realised, when I say its a black screen, I mean the monitor is saying there is no signal | 05:06 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, how 'bout using the live cd? | 05:06 |
| Shadow420 | when I run grub-install /dev/sdb1 I get could not find device for /boot Not found or not a block device How Do I fix This? | 05:06 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, sure and do what with it? | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, you sure you want it on sdb1 and not sdb? | 05:06 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, for internet access.. get what you need there and save it on usb or hd. | 05:07 |
| === xgermx is now known as xgermx1234567891 | ||
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis my device for my Linux is /dev/sdb1 | 05:07 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, or is what you're saying is that you never had internet access? | 05:07 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: have you ever mounted anything before | 05:07 |
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis I don't want grub to boot first I want XP bootloader to start first | 05:08 |
| CookieMonster | through ubuntu? | 05:08 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: erm ok, hit ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the desktop. Then restart and select "recovery mode" from the grub menu | 05:08 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Anybody gotten their Linux+ certification? | 05:08 |
| cdecarlo_ | ya | 05:08 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: Should I reboot? Trouble is, last time my machine was switched off without shutting down properly (the power company helpfully cut the power to my house) it caused loads of file corruptions on the hard disk, so I am reluctant to force a reboot by holding down the power button | 05:08 |
| === xgermx1234567891 is now known as xgermx | ||
| CookieMonster | i know how to get through my partitions. like i said, there are 3 partitions on the drive so the ubuntu partition is most likely 3 | 05:08 |
| jrib | !who | CookieMonster | 05:08 |
| ubotu | CookieMonster: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 05:08 |
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis I I am running linux on a second hard drive | 05:08 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, No what I am saying is that when I log into recovery console I tried wireless and wired without success. I have both normally. Do you know if in recovery console from grub, networking is activated by default? | 05:09 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: Sorry - didnt see your post as I was still typing. Got the desktop back and I am rebooting now | 05:09 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, should be | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, You can have grub on the mbr of the 2nd hd. that would be 'sdb' not sdb1. windows mbr can be on sda, I have a setup like this. I use the bios menu to pick what hd to boot first. | 05:09 |
| jjt001 | wow | 05:09 |
| jjt001 | what a total | 05:09 |
| jjt001 | incredible | 05:09 |
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis ok I will try that | 05:10 |
| jrib | jjt001: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 05:10 |
| fiXXXerMet | Can linux write to NTFS partitions yet? | 05:10 |
| click170 | Does anybody have any insight into a problem I'm having with resolution? It's stuck at 640x480 and I can't change it. I just posted details here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4614520#post4614520 | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, grub is very flexiable.. but has a lot of little details to watchout for. :) | 05:10 |
| eekrano | Shadow420, http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html - that may help | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | click170, its been able to for ages. | 05:10 |
| jrib | fiXXXerMet: yes | 05:10 |
| fiXXXerMet | And if so, how reliably? | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | oops wrong nick. :) | 05:10 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: OK, now I have booted into recovery mode and the terminal is ready. What next, please? | 05:10 |
| fiXXXerMet | Any special packages or does it work oob now? | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 05:10 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 05:10 |
| fiXXXerMet | Thanks | 05:10 |
| click170 | Dr_Willis: thought so heh, confusing. | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | fiXXXerMet, ntfs-3g works very well. | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | click170, it scrolled up as i was typing. :) | 05:11 |
| Smolf | Could anybody tell me if the programs that i install on ubuntu using live cd will appear on the aplications? | 05:11 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: tell us the output of 'ls -ld /home/USERNAME' where USERNAME is your username | 05:11 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: ok, make a mount point, call something like ubuntuPart, eg. mkdir ubuntuPart | 05:11 |
| jjt001 | jrib: yes | 05:11 |
| jrib | jjt001: then please ask the channel | 05:11 |
| jjt001 | jrib: will ubuntu 8.04 come packaged with gnome 2.22? | 05:11 |
| CookieMonster | cdecarlo_: how would i do that. im currently on windows | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | Smolf, if you install packages while booting the live cd they 'should' appear in the menus. if they have a menu item | 05:11 |
| jrib | jjt001: questions about ubuntu 8.04 are addressed in #ubuntu+1 (but yes) | 05:12 |
| Djmack | some advice plz: any really good irc programs for ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: then mount the partition there; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 unbuntuPart | 05:12 |
| jjt001 | jrib: thanks | 05:12 |
| Djmack | besides pidgin? | 05:12 |
| jrib | Djmack: xchat | 05:12 |
| CookieMonster | cdecarlo_: i cannot boot into ubuntu or grub | 05:12 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: Output is drw-r--r-- 73 jonathan jonathan 4096 Mar 30 03:27 /home/jonathan | 05:12 |
| orbisvicis | heh | 05:12 |
| joot | Djmack, I like xchat-gnome | 05:12 |
| cdecarlo_ | CookieMonster: with the live cd | 05:12 |
| click170 | Djmack: You use pidgin for irc? I found it kind of cumbersome. I like Xchat for IRC on Ubuntu. | 05:12 |
| CookieMonster | cdecarlo_: ok ill be back. ill boot the live cd | 05:13 |
| cdecarlo_ | cya | 05:13 |
| lothar | Godo morning. I am having a problem. New Ubuntu user here. | 05:13 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: do 'chmod 755 /home/jonathan' and 'reboot'. If you get that error you mentioned last time again, then write it down | 05:13 |
| lothar | I installed VLC, the media player, and cant get a directory to open | 05:13 |
| === ryan_ is now known as Sgt | ||
| Scunizi | lothar, what directory | 05:14 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: Can we please talk in a private message so the screen doesnt keep scrolling with everyone elses posts | 05:14 |
| jrib | JonathanEllis: sure, join me in #ubuntu-classroom | 05:14 |
| lothar | Hmm. I want TV to open | 05:14 |
| lothar | that is the name of one of my HDs | 05:14 |
| Djmackzero | thanks for the advice with xchat | 05:14 |
| Scunizi | lothar, you have a directory called TV? | 05:15 |
| Djmackzero | just downloaded it | 05:15 |
| cameo351 | What anti virus program is best for ubuntu? I used avast for ms os , but can't get it to work in ubuntu. | 05:15 |
| JonathanEllis | jrib: Thanks. Switching to #ubuntu-classroom. | 05:15 |
| lothar | Yes a HD named TV | 05:15 |
| lothar | I selct file then open directory and it only gives me the option within Home directory | 05:15 |
| lothar | I want to go above that to the Hard drives I have installed | 05:16 |
| Scunizi | lothar, so you have more than one HD and the second is named TV. Is that right? if so was it in the machine when you installed ubuntu? | 05:16 |
| sixforty | how do I use md5 to check d/l'd files? | 05:16 |
| lothar | I have 3 and yes it is correct | 05:16 |
| lothar | And yes, I did an install yesterday | 05:16 |
| lothar | I havent changed the hardware at all | 05:16 |
| Scunizi | lothar can you see the drive when you click on places and computer? | 05:16 |
| DistroJockey | sixforty: md5sum /path/to/file | 05:17 |
| lothar | Ahh, not sure what you mean by that. I have it on my desk top now | 05:17 |
| lothar | Mounted, I believe is the correct term | 05:17 |
| Scunizi | lothar, ok.. so you have a link on the desktop .. can you open it and see the files. | 05:17 |
| lothar | yes | 05:17 |
| Scunizi | lothar is there one particular file you want to play in vlc? | 05:18 |
| lothar | No, if that was the case I could just drag them in | 05:18 |
| sixforty | thx, 'll try it when d/l is done | 05:18 |
| lothar | I want to play an entire CD, whioch I have in a folder | 05:18 |

| fyrstorm | Scunizi, in recovery mode and I have no wireless. | 05:18 |
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis this information is confusing me is there a direct tutorial on how to Dual-boot XP/Ubuntu using XP Bootloader? | 05:18 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, or wired for that matter | 05:19 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, all i really did on that box was unplug the windows drive when i isntalled linux, that let the installer put the mbr on the linux hd. i then plugged the xp disk back in. and used the bios to ick what Hd to boot. | 05:19 |
| Scunizi | lothar.. ok.. could be that vlc doesnt recognize the "name" of the drive.. the other way is to point vlc to /media/<your_drive_choice> .. drives are labeled by sda, sdb, sdc | 05:19 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, try ifdown then right after ifup and see if that brings up the nic carad | 05:20 |
| Scunizi | *card | 05:20 |
| lothar | Scun - And that did it | 05:20 |
| Scunizi | lothar, cool.. | 05:20 |
| lothar | Ty for the help | 05:20 |
| lothar | but... | 05:20 |
| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis well Windows Disk is my Master Drive and the linux which will house ubuntu is my Slave Drive | 05:20 |
| lothar | Is there an easier way? | 05:20 |
| lothar | Could I put a shortcut on the desktop that I could see when I clicked that? | 05:21 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, ok I have to log back in I was just about to re-install ubuntu | 05:21 |
| Scunizi | lothar, you could use rythmbox or amorak to manage your music.. vlc isn't really made to do that. although it's a great player | 05:21 |
| Bisclaveret | how do i perform something similar to defrag on ext3? | 05:21 |
| lothar | ok | 05:21 |
| Flannel | Bisclaveret: you don't, ext3 doesn't suffer from fragmentation | 05:22 |
| lothar | Question 2, I ha having trouble getting Java jre to run | 05:22 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, when doing ifdown wlan0 it says it is not configured | 05:22 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, if you reinstall you might consider creating a separate /home partition.. just in case you have to reinstall again your programs will be safe. | 05:22 |
| Shadow420 | Bisclaveret you don't need to defrag ext3 | 05:22 |
| lothar | Is this the proper place to get help? | 05:22 |
| Bisclaveret | Flannel: i don't believe that. | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, yes. so? You have 2 hard drives.. I unpluggeed my windows hd. and installed linxu to the 2nd hd. it dident matter if it was slave or master. | 05:22 |
| Bisclaveret | after deleting several large gobs of data and replacing them with other files, disk performance has taken a sharp downturn over the past few days. | 05:22 |
| Scunizi | lothar, yep | 05:23 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: its true, but if you insist, run fdisk. | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, i just unplugged the power conector to the one hd. | 05:23 |
| joot | Bisclaveret, It is true | 05:23 |
| Bisclaveret | i'm looking for a way to free disk clusters for one | 05:23 |
| orbisvicis | Bisclaveret, you can copy the image to another hardrive, wipe the orginal, then copy file by file back to the original drive | 05:23 |
| lothar | Scun- What do I need to do to find the problem? | 05:23 |
| lothar | or the right questions in the first place? | 05:23 |
| Bisclaveret | orbisvicis: i don't have any other disks free for that | 05:23 |
| Flannel | Bisclaveret: It doesn't because it takes care of it on the fly, doing stuff intelligently | 05:23 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, sorry.. my networking skills in linux are pretty limited.. wireless I dont know much about | 05:23 |
| cookismonster | ok im back | 05:23 |
| Bisclaveret | and thats the old ibm xt way of defragging ;) | 05:23 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, I have already done the separate /home. I tend to break things often. Any idea on why it says it's not configured. By the way, ifup wlan0 says its ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 | 05:23 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, ok I'll try it with eth0 | 05:24 |
| cameo357 | is there a channel for extreme newbies? | 05:24 |
| Bisclaveret | Flannel: and i'm taking a large performance hit from that ;) | 05:24 |
| lothar | Lolz I want tha channel too | 05:24 |
| Shadow420 | Bisclaveret it's the truth linux uses the ext3 FS in a way that fragmentation can't happen | 05:24 |
| cookismonster | i ran sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 unbuntuPart and it gave me mount: mount point unbuntuPart does not exist | 05:24 |
| n2diy | cameo357: yes, your in it! | 05:24 |
| Bisclaveret | today doing stuff in apt-get has been painful because it's taking over 15 seconds to start the install process, etc | 05:24 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, same thing | 05:24 |
| === cookismonster is now known as cookiemonster | ||
| cdecarlo_ | cookismonster: were you able to mount the partition? | 05:24 |
| cookiemonster | no =[ | 05:24 |
| Flannel | Bisclaveret: I believe to defrag you have to convert back to ext2, defrag, then convert back to ext3. | 05:24 |
| Scunizi | lothar, I'm not really sure what the problem is yet.. try to describe it.. | 05:24 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: were you able to mount the partition? | 05:25 |
| rkvirani | hey dudes | 05:25 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, sorry.. .I'm stuck at this point | 05:25 |
| lothar | I am trying to get (dont laugh)~ the game runescape to run. www.runescape.com | 05:25 |
| cookiemonster | mount: mount point unbuntuPart does not exist | 05:25 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: what error did you get | 05:25 |
| === ina is now known as ce_cRi_temandt | ||
| Transience | does anyone know where i can find an install guide for the intel iMac? | 05:25 |
| Dr_willis | Extreme Newbies should start at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training - and grab the free pdf ubuntu book. :) and read it of course.... | 05:25 |
| fyrstorm | Scunizi, thanks for trying. | 05:25 |
| joot | cameo357, try ubuntu forums new users it can be a bit more gentle than here | 05:25 |
| lothar | I got it to run under opera, but it was so laggy and slow it wasnt worth playing | 05:25 |
| rkvirani | I have a brand spankin new IBM thinkpad T61, how od I get powermanagment to work well on it? | 05:25 |
| Scunizi | fyrstorm, no problem.. | 05:25 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: did you create the directory? | 05:25 |
| Bisclaveret | Flannel: but basically, i've removed and purged over 75% of my free-HD-space-on-install and replaced it several times | 05:25 |
| mcquaid | my nvidia card lacks control (brightness, contrast etc) when using xv. I wanted totem to use opengl. I choose glimagesync in gstreamer-properties and the test is fine | 05:25 |
| fyrstorm | Anyone else know how to get networking going in recovery mode from grub | 05:25 |
| mcquaid | but totem still cannot adjust brightness | 05:25 |
| mcquaid | is there a workaround for this? | 05:26 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: no | 05:26 |
| rkvirani | also I have a screwed up apt database | 05:26 |
| cameo357 | I been reading that and the apt manual | 05:26 |
| rkvirani | and I cant get rid of some software | 05:26 |
| rkvirani | what should I do about that? any docs? | 05:26 |
| Scunizi | lothar, looks like a flash site is that righht? | 05:26 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: you've got to make the directory | 05:26 |
| Bisclaveret | so i'm looking for a way of freeing disk clusters, etc to arrange the data on the disk in the most efficient way possible. | 05:26 |
| lothar | It is a java game | 05:26 |
| cookiemonster | which directory | 05:26 |
| rkvirani | I'm running hardy heron | 05:26 |
| lothar | I have flash working properly | 05:26 |
| Flannel | Bisclaveret: ext3 keeps stuff close together, even if not contiguous. Fragmentation (yes it exists, obviously) isn't really a problem 98% of the time. | 05:26 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: mkdir ubuntuPart | 05:26 |
| Scunizi | !java | lothar | 05:26 |
| ubotu | lothar: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 05:26 |
| Bisclaveret | since i'm running a seagate medalist 3221 which is only 5400 rpm and 3gb | 05:26 |
| albech | how can i change the port for outgoing mails in Evolution? | 05:26 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: is this a name brand machine like a Dell, you could have hidden partitions on it? | 05:26 |
| lothar | I did that. No help at all | 05:26 |
| Bisclaveret | n2diy: no | 05:26 |
| Adys | how do I extract a gz (non tar) archive from the command line? | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | rkvirani, hardy is still being tested - duscissuon in #ubuntu+1 | 05:27 |
| Flannel | Bisclaveret: Like I said, if you really want to defrag you'll have to convert to ext2, defrag, then convert back to ext3 | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | Adys, gunzip command. | 05:27 |
| albech | Adys: unzip | 05:27 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_:ok nothing happened | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | Adys, also check out the 'unp' command. | 05:27 |
| lothar | I installed sun java and icedtea | 05:27 |
| rkvirani | Dr_willis: yea but ... cleaning up atp | 05:27 |
| rkvirani | any ideas? | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | gzip = gz UNZIP = .zip | 05:27 |
| Scunizi | lothar.. sorry.. maybe someone else can help with it.. just ask how to get java working for a website.. you might need to mention the site again | 05:27 |
| Adys | aight | 05:27 |
| cdecarlo_ | Adys: tar -z is the flag you want for gz | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | !info unp | 05:27 |
| Transience | does anyone know where i can find an install guide for the intel core2duo iMac? | 05:27 |
| lothar | Can having both icedtea and sun java be causing problems? | 05:28 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: did you make the directory? | 05:28 |
| Flannel | Transience: Its identical to a non-mac. Just pop in the CD and run the installer | 05:28 |
| Adys | thanks :) | 05:28 |
| Scunizi | lothar, maybe | 05:28 |
| cookiemonster | how do i know if i made the directory? nothing happened after i did the command | 05:28 |
| echelon_ | how do i install Mumble? | 05:28 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: get a listing of the directory ... ls | 05:28 |
| n2diy | cookiemonster: cd to it. | 05:28 |
| lothar | is there a channel java or something that might offer more help? | 05:28 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: do you see it? | 05:29 |
| cookiemonster | umm im going to | 05:29 |
| Bisclaveret | n2diy: the machine is old and slow enough that running gnome-system-monitor takes up between 17-40%CPU randomly :p | 05:29 |
| mnk0 | hey sup | 05:29 |
| Scunizi | lothar, you could try in #linux | 05:29 |
| cookiemonster | yes it made ti | 05:29 |
| lothar | OK[] | 05:29 |
| mnk0 | if you install the 8.04 beta, how much of a process is it upgrading to the final releae | 05:29 |
| node357 | hi people | 05:29 |
| mnk0 | would that just be a case of updating the packages, or would u reinstall the base system | 05:29 |
| Flannel | mnk0: Not. Just regular updates like the ones you get normally | 05:30 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: now try sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 ubuntuPart | 05:30 |
| elpargo | I'm having a non-trivial grub reinstall issue, this is the error I'm getting http://pastebin.org/26120 any suggestions? | 05:30 |
| lothar | 3rd and completely unrelated question. How well would ubuntu run on an on an old 800mhz lap top? | 05:30 |
| Bisclaveret | Flannel: then how would one do that without risking data loss? | 05:30 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: ok, that shouldn't affect the hard drive space, maybe the drive is going south on you? | 05:30 |
| mnk0 | Flannel: like could u just doa dist-upgrade ? | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | lothar, i would use xubuntu on that low end a machine | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | lothar, more ram would also help. :) | 05:30 |
| Bisclaveret | n2diy: possibly, but i'm up the creek if thats the case | 05:30 |
| cdecarlo_ | lothar: try Xubuntu, I'm on a P3 800, it's great | 05:30 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: mount: mount point ubuntuPart does not exist | 05:30 |
| elpargo | lothar: will it work yes, will it be optimal no. | 05:30 |
| Flannel | mnk0: yeah. or update-manager, or synaptic, or whatnot. Once you're on a release, you're on that release. Upgrading to final is just updating your packages to that days | 05:31 |
| mnk0 | ahh | 05:31 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: Sorry, GL. | 05:31 |
| mnk0 | hmm | 05:31 |
| lothar | and should I nuke win2k and go with it? | 05:31 |
| Kles | okay | 05:31 |
| mnk0 | thinking about installin for my home system then | 05:31 |
| Kles | I'm still getting errors with building | 05:31 |
| mnk0 | anyone got it rolling? | 05:31 |
| Flannel | mnk0: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support/questions/etc | 05:31 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: what is the name of the directory you created? | 05:31 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: let me pm you | 05:31 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: ubuntuPart | 05:32 |
| mnk0 | Flannel: k thx | 05:32 |
| lothar | How well with the next version work? As a noob should I think about upgrading when it comes out? | 05:32 |
| elpargo | lothar: I won't recommend killing it and going ubuntu if it's your first time running *nix | 05:32 |
| Kles | http://pastebin.com/m76d019ce | 05:32 |
| lothar | elpar - TY I will keep that in mind | 05:32 |
| cookiemonster | ubuntu@ubuntu:~/ubuntuPart$ | 05:32 |
| Kles | What exactly do I get there? | 05:32 |
| Kles | What package? | 05:32 |
| Scunizi | lothar, the versions get better and better.. nice thing is you don't have to reinstall.. just upgrade | 05:33 |
| cameo357 | Do you extract a web downloaded package before using apt, or synaptic? | 05:33 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: can you cd into the directory? | 05:33 |
| elpargo | lothar: on the other hand if that's your second computer go for it. u wont regret it | 05:33 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: yes | 05:33 |
| Flannel | cameo357: No. And you don't download it either. apt/synaptic does it for you. | 05:33 |
| cdecarlo_ | ok, cd into ubuntuPart | 05:33 |
| Kles | ugh what's the "get packages" command again? | 05:33 |
| cameo357 | How? | 05:33 |
| cookiemonster | i did already | 05:34 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: then type pwd | 05:34 |
| Adys | apt-get kles ? | 05:34 |
| Flannel | cameo357: Fire up synaptic, select a package for installation, hit apply. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:34 |
| lothar | So if I go with Hardy I will not be stuck with 'less stuff' in terms of functionalioty? | 05:34 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: i get this /home/ubuntu/ubuntuPart | 05:34 |
| Scunizi | lothar, no | 05:34 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: ok, cd up a directory cd .. | 05:34 |
| lothar | might stuff (like java and flash) work better? | 05:35 |
| elpargo | lothar: not at all, new versions are mostly updated packages. ubuntu has been usable since it's first release over 2 years ago. | 05:35 |
| elpargo | what problems u have with that? | 05:35 |
| Scunizi | lothar, usually integration gets better | 05:35 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: ok i did | 05:35 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: and then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart | 05:35 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo_: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart | 05:36 |
| cookiemonster | mount: mount point /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart does not exist | 05:36 |
| elpargo | both java and flash work really good for me. | 05:36 |
| ijustam | java tastes good in the morning | 05:36 |
| comicinker | lothar: have a look at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ for some of the new features | 05:36 |
| nicodarious | hmmm... | 05:36 |
| elpargo | well flash sucks but that's the problem with the company that makes it :) | 05:36 |
| ijustam | flahs, not so much | 05:36 |
| elpargo | ijustam: yes but that's because flash9 linux sucks. | 05:37 |
| ijustam | i dont like flash | 05:37 |
| ijustam | but i could never learn it | 05:37 |
| ijustam | so im biased | 05:37 |
| ijustam | plus i cant draw to save my life | 05:37 |
| echelon_ | anyone here use Mumble? | 05:37 |
| elpargo | and back went it was 7 it sucked really bad. | 05:37 |
| Positronic | hey, I have a question about getting flash to work on Firefox | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | cookiemonster, mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart | 05:37 |

| elpargo | skailar: have you try synaptics? | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | unbuntu | 05:38 |
| echelon_ | Carbonflux, yeah, voip | 05:38 |
| elpargo | Positronic: ask | 05:38 |
| cookiemonster | i did make sure everything was cased | 05:38 |
| mark[oz] | skailar, your in an irc help channel.. best if you just ask your question, instea dof asking if someone can help | 05:38 |
| Positronic | Well, I have flash working on Firefox 2 | 05:38 |
| mark[oz] | there are lots of people here that can help | 05:38 |
| skailar | No... but the program I want to install shows up in the list. | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | cookiemonster: what you pasted says "unbuntu" | 05:38 |
| jms1989 | Hi, is there a good program that will allow me to run linux applications in windows? I'm looking to run Kolourpaint in windows for my sisters. | 05:38 |
| Positronic | and I installed FF 3 beta 4 to ~/firefox | 05:38 |
| carlzenox | i can download it if u want | 05:38 |
| lorenzo_ | hi, i need to download 32 bit libuuid to install on 64bit gutsy, how do i do that? thanks a lot | 05:38 |

| Positronic | so how do I get flashplugin-nonfree to work in FF 3 b4? | 05:38 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: argh! | 05:39 |

| echelon_ | carlzenox, please | 05:39 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | hello. can anyone pass to me the EGGDROP TCL SCRIPT of ubotu? | 05:39 |
| carlzenox | echelon_: alright pm me also =/ | 05:39 |
| skailar | I'm trying to install stumbleupon for firefox, and it shows up in add/remove programs. The documentation site says to just click it and it will add... but it won't. | 05:39 |
| cookiemonster | ok now i get thisubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart | 05:39 |
| cookiemonster | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, | 05:39 |
| cookiemonster | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 05:39 |
| cookiemonster | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 05:39 |
| cookiemonster | dmesg | tail or so | 05:39 |
| FloodBot1 | cookiemonster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:39 |
| elpargo | Positronic: u have to install flash into that copy of firefox. either use their package or create symlinks. | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | cookiemonster, cut/paste the mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart to a shell. | 05:39 |
| Scunizi | Positronic, that you might ask in ubuntu+1 | 05:39 |
| Flannel | Kamus_H_Zwisch: ubotu isn't an eggdrop. But his source is available on launchpad | 05:39 |
| lothar | where can i find the files to install java for athlon64processor? | 05:39 |
| Positronic | okay | 05:39 |
| orbisvicis | lorenzo_, what is the exact issue. libuuid on 64bit doesnt have a .deb, or you need it 32-bit ? | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | cookiemonster, that error imples that hda3 is not the right device | 05:39 |
| nikrud | Positronic this is in gutsy, right? | 05:39 |
| Positronic | yeah | 05:39 |
| cookiemonster | ok then what should i do | 05:40 |
| nikrud | Positronic ok, stay here, +1 is for hardy. | 05:40 |
| Dr_willis | cookiemonster, 'sudo fdisk -l' shows all partitions/disks on the system.. find out what one you really mean. | 05:40 |
| lorenzo_ | orbisvicis: i need it 32 bit. i am trying to do this: http://www.pando.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=4989 | 05:40 |
| Djmackzero | Question: i have a drivers disk for my motherboard and onboard sound. how do i use it for ubuntu? | 05:40 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | Flannel: i searched at launchpad project and didn't find. all i find is it db of answers | 05:40 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | :( | 05:40 |
| Positronic | elpargo: So download flashplugin and extract it to ~/firefox ? | 05:40 |
| cookiemonster | ok which one am i supposed to use | 05:40 |
| nikrud | Positronic in the plugins subdirectory of ~/firefox , create the dir if it doesn't exist | 05:41 |
| elpargo | Positronic: in a nut shell, although you have to be sure where to put it. | 05:41 |
| Positronic | okay, let me try | 05:41 |
| Flannel | Kamus_H_Zwisch: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 05:41 |
| comicinker | Djmackzero: usually not. if ubuntu doesn't support your mainboard out of the box, then you can have a look at the drivers | 05:41 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | Flannel: yes, i searched here :( | 05:41 |
| Djmackzero | well | 05:41 |
| Djmackzero | how bout sound drivers? | 05:41 |
| comicinker | the same | 05:42 |
| cookiemonster | how do i know which one to use? | 05:42 |
| elpargo | Djmackzero: u have a disk with linux drivers? are they tarballs? | 05:42 |
| Djmackzero | do what? | 05:42 |
| Flannel | Kamus_H_Zwisch: Oh. https://code.launchpad.net/~dennis/ubuntu-bots/main specifically. The "download URL" has an example under it on how to check out the code | 05:42 |
| Vanpriest | guys, how come when i send an email even if i have the domain registered, it fall into the junk mail! someone know the reason? | 05:43 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | Flannel: ok, thanks :D | 05:43 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: can you paste the output to the pastebin | 05:43 |
| cookiemonster | umm if i knew what the pastebin was i would | 05:43 |
| elpargo | Vanpriest: tons of reasons, please be more specific | 05:43 |
| Flannel | !paste | cookiemonster | 05:43 |
| ubotu | cookiemonster: 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) | 05:43 |
| elpargo | http://pastebin.org | 05:43 |
| n2diy | ! pastebin | cookiemonster | 05:43 |
| nikrud | ! n2diy is looser ;) | 05:44 |
| lothar | grrr. this lack of a .exe rile is driving me mad | 05:44 |
| lothar | I got a .bin file, what do I do with it? | 05:44 |
| n2diy | nikrud: nope, distracted! ;) | 05:44 |
| snowolf | lothar: chmd +x, run it | 05:44 |
| elpargo | lothar: on the other hand, ones u get used to the package manager u will miss it. | 05:44 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: go to http://pastebin.org, paste the output and then copy the url and paste it in here | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | lothar, depends on what it is. :) | 05:44 |
| RossC | I've been doing a bit of searching, but I can't find anything that successfully plays mp4 files on Feisty. Everything I've tried (VLC, MPlayer, etc) yield nothing. Does anybody have any suggestions? | 05:45 |
| nikrud | lothar depends on what it is, probably find the right app in synaptic and use that instead | 05:45 |
| lothar | jre 6 | 05:45 |
| cookiemonster | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61551/ | 05:45 |
| elpargo | lothar: always look first on the packagemanager. | 05:45 |
| elpargo | lothar: there is a deb package for that. | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | !java | lothar | 05:45 |
| ubotu | lothar: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 05:45 |
| lothar | I tried that, and installed java, but it isnot working | 05:45 |
| nikrud | lothar sudo apt-get get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | lothar, define 'not working' | 05:45 |
| lothar | willis - I know you were here the first time someone reccommended that, and it didnt ork then | 05:45 |
| nikrud | !doesntwork | lothar | 05:45 |
| ubotu | lothar: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 05:45 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: you want /dev/hda4 | 05:45 |
| cookiemonster | ok | 05:46 |
| lothar | 'not working'=does nothing | 05:46 |
| elpargo | lothar: what u get when u run "java" ? | 05:46 |
| cookiemonster | so whats the command i should use | 05:46 |
| orbisvicis | lorenzo_, there *might be a better method, but here is mine: go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and find the libuuid. Make a directory to compile it. dget the dsc. (this will require ubuntu packaging tools). Then run dpkg-source -x on the *.dsc file. then go to /debian/control and edit the rules file to pass gcc the -m32 option. Then dch -i to increment the version. Then run debuild -uc -us, and voila a deb. That WIll conflict with the 64 bit | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | lothar, do trouble shooting, not trying random installs/removeables/things | 05:46 |
| orbisvicis | deb | 05:46 |
| lothar | A blank white screen | 05:46 |
| nikrud | ?? | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | lothar, you open up a terminal and use 'java' and it crashes the system? | 05:46 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda4 ubuntuPart | 05:46 |
| lothar | random re-installs seemed to work great with M$ products... | 05:46 |
| elpargo | lothar: on the shell?? | 05:46 |
| lothar | Oisters on the shell? | 05:46 |
| elpargo | lothar: because they suck. | 05:46 |
| lorenzo_ | thanks orbisvicis! i will try that | 05:47 |

| orestes | sal | 05:47 |
| n2diy | sal? | 05:47 |
| ethan961 | haha, RS | 05:47 |
| nikrud | lothar so, the problem is you didn't get the plugin. Run the command I gave you above | 05:47 |
| orestes | asl | 05:48 |
| orbisvicis | lorenzo_, or you can get ubuntu's source, and instead of building a .deb, instead of editing the rules file edit the makefile and add to the GCCFLAGS -m32. configure with --prefix=/opt/libuuid_32but. then install. this wont conflict but you wont get a .deb either | 05:48 |
| cookiemonster | new pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61552/ | 05:48 |
| elpargo | lothar: ok then you need to install java web plugin, u can do that from inside firefox or with the command nikrud gave you, then you MUST restart firefox. | 05:48 |
| lothar | what was the command again? | 05:48 |
| nikrud | lothar sudo apt-get get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 05:48 |
| orkun | hey there - simple question with sbackup: i usually do my backups on an external usb drive(because it appears senseless to me to backup onto the same physical drive) - what happens if i select daily backups but the external drive is plugged in only every say 2nd day? | 05:48 |
| lothar | E: Invalid operation get | 05:49 |

| nikrud | lothar sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sorry, typo | 05:49 |
| ethan961 | !flood | 05:49 |
| 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) | 05:49 |

| lothar | I know what it is | 05:50 |
| ethan_ | how do i make it play a dvd | 05:50 |
| orbisvicis | !medibuntu | 05:50 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:50 |
| nikrud | orkun or, an error, if it's a subdir of that I'd expect | 05:50 |
| cookiemonster | so what am i to do now | 05:50 |
| ethan961 | lothar, srry, I thought it might say something about floodbot | 05:50 |

| === [1]dahlia is now known as dahlia | ||
| nikrud | elpargo the gutsy firefox gets the plugin as needed? I never caught that myself in gutsy but saw it in hardy | 05:51 |
| lothar | I hit the paste more than once I guess | 05:51 |
| nikrud | lothar no I had a typo in the line I gave you for sure | 05:51 |
| lothar | That part was before | 05:51 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: sorry man, I'm out of ideas | 05:51 |
| lothar | the second line is what came up | 05:52 |
| ethan_ | anyone wanna help me with getting ubuntu to play a dvd | 05:52 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: not sure why you can't mount it | 05:52 |
| cookiemonster | :( | 05:52 |
| Scunizi | !dvd | ethan_ | 05:52 |
| ubotu | ethan_: 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 | 05:52 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: is the problem that you can't boot into ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| cookiemonster | ok maybe you can help me set up grub' | 05:52 |
| cookiemonster | yes | 05:52 |
| orkun | ethan, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras in your console | 05:52 |
| lothar | nik-want me to try again? | 05:52 |
| elpargo | nikrub it's a firefox thing. can't recall offhand if it will, but it still does it outside apt. | 05:52 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: have you tried reinstalling grub? | 05:52 |
| cookiemonster | i cannot boot into it and i cannot access the files on the partition | 05:52 |
| cookiemonster | i need help reinstalling grub | 05:52 |
| nikrud | lothar I'm gonna put up a couple links that will help you get a grip on how software is organized in ubuntu, it'll give you some framework to start putting things into | 05:52 |
| nikrud | !components | lothar (especially the components one) | 05:53 |
| ubotu | lothar (especially the components one): The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 05:53 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 05:53 |
| nikrud | !synaptic | lothar | 05:53 |
| ubotu | lothar: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:53 |
| squee | Does anyone know the video driver that should be used with the cloudbook? | 05:54 |
| Scunizi | fog | 05:54 |
| elpargo | lothar: and you need to forget about the broken model of downloading a file and double clicking it. | 05:54 |
| nikrud | lothar sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin <-- this one | 05:54 |
| elpargo | squee: what's cloudbook? | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | squee, you might be able to do .. lspci in a terminal to see what kind of card it is. | 05:55 |
| cookiemonster | ok i dont understand this | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | elpargo, it's a mac | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | skinny thin | 05:55 |
| cookiemonster | what is my boot partition | 05:55 |
| elpargo | ohhh the newest laptop :) | 05:55 |
| paper_app | #join ubuntu-es | 05:55 |
| xeer | hello.. I keep getting "ŸŸ" whenever i try to paste | 05:56 |
| lothar | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61557/ | 05:56 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: the boot partition is the partition on the disk where you MBR lives | 05:56 |
| lothar | Is what came up | 05:56 |
| cookiemonster | so mine would be hd1,4 | 05:56 |
| nikrud | lothar you running 64bit? | 05:56 |
| squee | elpargo, Scunizi : Unichrome Cx700M2 | 05:56 |
| lothar | yes | 05:56 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: the find command will tell you. | 05:56 |
| lothar | I thought I mentioned that earlier | 05:56 |
| lothar | Wait. I have a 64 bit processor, I am running 32 bit ubuntu | 05:57 |
| nikrud | lothar ah, sun never made a 64bit browser java plugin (if you did, I came in after that) | 05:57 |
| Scunizi | squee, ouch.. hang on. | 05:57 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: it looks like yours is /dev/hda2 | 05:57 |
| snerfu | hmm the cloudbook has a video chipset I haven't heard of: Via Unichrome Pro IGP Graphics | 05:57 |
| cookiemonster | Error 15: File not found | 05:57 |
| nikrud | !gutsysources | lothar (then you need to enable some components) | 05:57 |
| ubotu | lothar (then you need to enable some components): 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). | 05:57 |
| Bisclaveret | ah goody. | 05:57 |
| Bisclaveret | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61556/ | 05:57 |

| RossC | In Gusty, how does one play MP4 files? All of my search efforts have been in vain (I've tried with VLC, MPlayer, XMMS [which gives sound, but no video] and a few other players). | 05:57 |
| kindofabuzz | world of padman is so fun =) | 05:57 |
| xeer | hello.. I keep getting "ŸŸ" whenever i try to paste | 05:58 |
| nikrud | lothar do those steps, and try the apt-get command again. You can get back to it when you are ready with the up arrow | 05:58 |
| Scunizi | squee, in a terminal ... sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-unichrome | 05:58 |
| orbisvicis | xeer, just starting you off, look at your keyboard layout. then look at xev and and compare to xmodmap -pke to make sure that your the correct keycods on the keys are used | 05:58 |
| lothar | Already had them done | 05:58 |
| snerfu | RossC: what is the video encoded in? x264? | 05:58 |
| AlephTau | why doesnt ubuntu produce virtualbox images? | 05:58 |
| AlephTau | it's way better tham vmware | 05:58 |
| Positronic | Is there a way to sync a Zune in ubuntu without using WINE? | 05:59 |
| RossC | snerfu: h264. | 05:59 |
| Scunizi | squee, after that you'll need to reset xorg.conf.. | 05:59 |
| paper_app | Help me!!!! i have a intel G33... i need video drivers for ubuntu 7.10 | 05:59 |
| nikrud | lothar if you have mulitverse enabled, and you get that message you are not running the 32bit. If you're sure of both, put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org . That's the master listing of all software sources | 05:59 |
| squee | Scunizi, Thanks | 05:59 |
| cookiemonster | cdecarlo: i dont unnderstand the reinstalling of grub | 05:59 |
| Scunizi | squee, np | 05:59 |
| lothar | wait | 05:59 |
| snerfu | RossC: I can play those in vlc, might try getting vlc directly from their website, videolan.org | 05:59 |
| lothar | where can I tell which I am running? | 05:59 |
| Lapinux | anyone here have problems with embeded flash videos and firefox? the video screen always go's white on me and doesnt play, right after it starts to load | 06:00 |
| nikrud | lothar and uname -m will tell you the machine type , i686 or x64 | 06:00 |
| lothar | Ihad 2 CDs and just re-installed last night | 06:00 |
| lothar | type that in a terminal? | 06:00 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: have you read the link that elpargo sent you? | 06:00 |
| Lapinux | i have to keep trying in order to get them to play | 06:00 |
| cookiemonster | yes | 06:00 |
| nikrud | lothar yes, uname -m (uname by itself will tell you some other stuff as well) | 06:00 |
| lothar | x86 64 | 06:00 |
| lothar | Doh! | 06:00 |
| RossC | snerfu: Is the version in the repository thing not up to day? (kind of new to Linux, so not entirely sure how often stuff like that updates) | 06:00 |
| cookiemonster | i dont understand it | 06:00 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: have you followed the instructions? | 06:00 |
| nikrud | lothar 64bit, no java plugin :) | 06:00 |
| cookiemonster | yes | 06:00 |
| cookiemonster | it gives me errors | 06:01 |
| lothar | is there an easy way to get rid of 64? | 06:01 |
| nikrud | lothar reinstall to get 32bit. | 06:01 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: which ones, my crystal ball is fuggy today | 06:01 |
| lothar | Should I download Ubuntu again and burn another CD? | 06:01 |
| cdecarlo_ | lol | 06:01 |
| nikrud | lothar that is, that's the only way to switch. Check your other disk, it might be 32bit. But I'd strongly recommend going 32bit | 06:01 |
| snerfu | RossC: one sec im looking something up | 06:01 |
| Positronic | P4's are i686, are they? :\ | 06:01 |
| lothar | Ya I tried 64 and dont like it | 06:01 |
| cookiemonster | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61558/ | 06:02 |
| Positronic | *aren't | 06:02 |
| nikrud | !who | lothar | 06:02 |
| ubotu | lothar: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 06:02 |
| elpargo | lothar: you can wrap some 32bit packages to work on 64b but it's not trivial. | 06:02 |
| * nikrud thinks that's one way, but not for beginners ;) | 06:02 | |
| Brack10 | so,thinking about upgrading from windows to ubuntu, is it worth waiting for 8.04 or should I go with gutsy and upgrade | 06:02 |
| lothar | elpar - Ok 64 bit windows was hellish\, and I had even less fun with 64 bit ubuntu | 06:03 |
| lothar | I will go with 32 bit | 06:03 |
| nikrud | Brack10 install now :) | 06:03 |
| cookiemonster | have you guys checkoued the pastebin? | 06:03 |
| Brack10 | I've heard the upgrade path can be rocky, is that just idiot speak? | 06:03 |
| n2diy | Brack10: dive in and get your feet wet. | 06:03 |
| lothar | I installed yesterday | 06:03 |
| elpargo | Brack10: the sooner you see the light the better, linux in general is not like windows, new versions are normally small things, bug fixes and new stuff. | 06:03 |
| orbisvicis | what is lothar 's problem ? ndiswrapper for flash is simple ? | 06:03 |
| cdecarlo_ | cookiemonster: I've never been through this before and I think my expertise is becoming exhausted, I'm sorry man but you're gonna have to find someone else to help | 06:03 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: are u using a live cd? | 06:04 |
| nikrud | Brack10 if you follow the upgrade instructions, it's not difficult. Most people have problems when they use envy or automatix (if you don't know what they are, you're lucky) | 06:04 |
| snerfu | RossC: I might recommend reading this link on restricted formats, i think it might work for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 06:04 |

| Scunizi | bikeboy, you got a special keyboard with extra keys.. ? try keytouch in synaptic | 06:09 |
| Djmackzero | docs.python.org/tut/ is honestly getting boring to a point of no interest... im looking for something with, not more interactive, but better interactive content | 06:09 |

| n2diy | Bisclaveret: fsck runs everyday, why do you need to run it now? | 06:10 |
| cdecarlo_ | oh my farts stink | 06:11 |
| Bisclaveret | n2diy: because obviosuly rebooting the computer, etc isn't making fsck do it's job, re http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61556/ | 06:11 |
| kindofabuzz | tgelter: noneed more ram? | 06:11 |

| tgelter | *two | 06:11 |
| elpargo | tgelter: define "a lot of time" | 06:11 |
| orbisvicis | Bisclaveret, youll need a boot cd; you cant fsck mounted volumes. and if you have lvm ... youll need lvm support | 06:12 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: ok, let me have a look, in the mean time triy "sudo updatedb" | 06:12 |
| ridge-meister | anyone here know of an XMAME port that will run on the PS2?

| Scunizi | Bisclaveret, it's not needed | 06:13 |
| orbisvicis | Bisclaveret, well thats what fsck on boot does | 06:13 |
| elpargo | Bisclaveret: depends on ur filesystem, most of those checks are not needed or done automatically. | 06:13 |
| Bisclaveret | Scunizi: obviously it is. | 06:13 |
| Bisclaveret | it runs on boot, but i've gotten those errors | 06:13 |
| RossC | snerfu: I'm putting it aside for now. I'll try doing some more searching tomorrow. Thank you for your time! | 06:13 |
| dabbill | When useing k9copy to copy a DVD and compress it. It runs through the compressing part, then just stops, never asks for a blank disk or any thing. I set the program to auto burn, and set my Output device my DVD rom. Any thing i am missing? | 06:13 |
| Bisclaveret | unless those errors cropped up in the past 24hrs | 06:13 |
| elpargo | tgelter: yea that's a lot, have you try deleting them to be sure it's the applets? | 06:13 |
| cookiemonster | what am i to do now | 06:14 |
| cookiemonster | how do i recover the data from the partition | 06:14 |
| Scunizi | dabbill, i used it for the first time yesturday but I had it make an iso then I used k3b to burn and it worked like a champ | 06:14 |
| tgelter | elpargo: it happens on my laptop, on my desktop, and on my wife's laptop...I thought it was normal... | 06:14 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: I told you to run sudo fdisk -l and show that. | 06:14 |
| cookiemonster | i did | 06:14 |
| orbisvicis | dabbill, you can try from terminal k9copy, though thatll waste more time | 06:14 |
| cookiemonster | i posted the pastebin | 06:14 |
| elpargo | tgelter: the lag is normal it's loading a lot of things, but the times for you seem too much. | 06:15 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: It appears fsck is trying to fix your corrupted files, and your telling it not to. | 06:15 |
| Bisclaveret | whenever i watch the bootup on the recovery mode FSCK takes all of 2-3 seconds then it moves to the next line so it's obviously not doing anything | 06:15 |
| cookiemonster | elpargo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61559/ | 06:15 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: I must have miss that, please give it to me again | 06:15 |
| === Sinn3rman is now known as Sinnerman | ||
| Bisclaveret | n2diy: because i used -n to avoid screwing up the mounted filesystem | 06:15 |
| tgelter | elpargo: interesting. is there no way to have them start preloading while gdm is loaded waiting for input? | 06:15 |
| Bisclaveret | to determine if i actually needed to run fsck | 06:16 |
| qcjn | hi, i've uninstall proftpd, but there's still the /var/log/proftpd/....i can remove this ? | 06:16 |
| Bisclaveret | what i did was the equivalent of running chkdsk c: without the /f flag | 06:16 |
| Bisclaveret | which puts it in readonly | 06:16 |
| n2diy | Bisclaveret: GL | 06:16 |
| elpargo | tgelter: not in the way it's handle, whichs apps by the way? | 06:16 |
| elpargo | tgelter: normally python applets are very slow at loading, because of the interface | 06:17 |
| tgelter | elpargo: gnome-system-monitor, frequency scaling, and the normal "notifications" | 06:17 |
| elpargo | tgelter: oh yes the system monitor is laggy, I don't use it anymore because of that. | 06:17 |
| dabbill | Scunizi, orbisvicis thanks, i guess i will make an ISO then just burn it i guess. | 06:18 |
| tgelter | elpargo: I see. any other recommendations for replacements/ | 06:18 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: then your root line should be root (hd0,2) | 06:18 |
| DistroJockey | qcjn: It's just a log, removing it would be fine IMO | 06:18 |
| cookiemonster | elpargo: how am i supposed to use that | 06:18 |
| qcjn | thanks | 06:18 |
| DistroJockey | np | 06:18 |

| elpargo | cookiemonster: keep reading the link I gave you. | 06:19 |
| tgelter | elpargo: yeah, I've used conky before, I just always forget to install it...plus I like the desktop real estate it takes up. I was hoping for some other gnome-panel applet | 06:20 |
| cookiemonster | elpargo: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `hd0,2' | 06:21 |
| elpargo | tgelter: well there is always gkrellm , but that's isn't gnome's specific. | 06:22 |

| Dr_willis | cookiemonster, thats NOT a bash command. thats a 'grub' command. | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | grub has its own shell interface. | 06:24 |
| cookiemonster | ok | 06:24 |
| elpargo | fyrstorm: the restricted drivers ati driver is the official driver from ati. | 06:25 |
| cookiemonster | elpargo: nothing happens now | 06:25 |

| fyrstorm | elpargo, Tremulous, I don't care about beryl or compiz. | 06:27 |

| zero88 | thank you | 06:28 |
| cookiemonster | welpargo: what is your issue? | 06:28 |
| elpargo | zero88: either alsamixer or a little applet you need to install that I forgot the name. | 06:28 |
| fyrstorm | elpargo, I did a fresh install yesterday, I used the restricted driver and the game didn't work right. All of the in-game text was garbled. I then tried to do a manual install of fglrx and totally broke everything. I am currently in the process of re-installing ubuntu | 06:29 |
| elpargo | cookiemonster: I'm getting an error while trying to reinstall grub, I'm getting the right partition but it's giving me partition not found. | 06:30 |
| cookiemonster | so | 06:30 |
| cookiemonster | there is a solution right | 06:30 |
| DistroJockey | elpargo: did you run grub with sudo? | 06:31 |

| cookiemonster | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 06:45 |

| RandoCal | If I drop an NTFS hard drive with windows on it into my Ubuntu box and mount it, can I scan it with something like ClamAV to check it for viruses and clean it? | 06:54 |
| elpargo | DistroJockey: hd for anything grub related sd for anything path related. | 06:54 |
| cdecarlo_ | onefunk_: you can try sudo ps aux | grep <appname>, the numbers in the second column are the PIDs, find the PID of your hung application and try sudo kill -1 PID, if that doesn't work then replace -1 with -9 | 06:54 |
| DistroJockey | elpargo: but my fdisk -l lists sd's | 06:54 |
| wundaboy | no one? | 06:55 |
| cdecarlo_ | elpargo: is this a laptop? | 06:55 |
| zcat[1] | RandoCal: yesandno.. the viruses will have set up all kinds of autorun registry entries and stuff which will break horribly when you remove the virus it's trying to run | 06:55 |
| elpargo | DistroJockey: yes but grub handles everything as hd## internally. | 06:55 |
| DistroJockey | elpargo: yeah, but his pastebin is fdisk -l right? | 06:56 |
| Dr_willis | grub is for more then just Linux. thats why it does its disk naming scheme differently. :) | 06:56 |
| cookiemonster | ok brb guys | 06:56 |
| elpargo | correct Dr_willis, it's closer to BSD in it's naming. | 06:56 |
| RandoCal | zcat - thanks | 06:56 |
| Dr_willis | ive also noticed that on some of my machines my ide disks are /dev/hd#$$ and onother machines ide disks are /dev/sd## - NOt sure why they differe | 06:56 |

| zcat[1] | that's why I said usually :) | 06:57 |
| elpargo | it's messy :) then a,b,c converting to 1,2,3 and grub counts from 0 while os from 1, it's a mess :p :p | 06:58 |

| fyrstorm | whats the command to start X from command | 06:58 |

| terminhell | anyone know of any terminal based messengers? | 07:01 |
| elpargo | DistroJockey: question still valid do you connect the drives with sata? | 07:01 |
| Flannel | DistroJockey: Ubuntu, since... edgy, I believe, has mapped IDEs to sd (so you only have sdXs) | 07:01 |
| cdecarlo_ | why are people spelling fire with a 'y' I keep on reading and typing fry, like fryer tuck | 07:01 |
| elpargo | terminhell: hehe which protocol? | 07:01 |
| terminhell | mainly for msn | 07:02 |
| DistroJockey | elpargo: Flannel: 2.6 kernels switched to IDE using scsi/sata identifcation | 07:02 |

| Flannel | DistroJockey: That's not necessarily correct. Dapper uses hda still (with 2.6.15). It was an Ubuntu decision. Let me see if I can find the wiki page | 07:03 |
| zcat[1] | hmm.. just checked.. everything here is sd's even thouigh more than half of them are ATA | 07:03 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel: yes, I could be slightly wrong there | 07:03 |

| terminhell | secondly...i cant seem to get a tty session going. when i ctrl+alt+f1 i just get a blinking curser | 07:03 |

| Abhinandh | yes | 07:06 |
| elpargo | voidmage: about wine not as trivial as having windows. | 07:06 |
| zcat[1] | voidmage: about as well as 32bit ever does .. | 07:07 |
| voidmage | would it be as easy as after installing 64bit, leaving my home partition, and still running my launcher scripts that i used in 32bit? | 07:07 |
| voidmage | those being something like "cd ~/.wine/path/to/game; wine game.exe" | 07:07 |
| hp | hi, i'm using a compaq presario f500, i think the restricted driver for the graphic card cause the crash on my computer | 07:07 |
| hp | is there a driver from synapptic that i can use in place of the restricted driver one? | 07:08 |
| zcat[1] | voidmage: I don't think wine cares .. programs inside wine don't depend on any libraries outside of it, so no conflict | 07:08 |
| voidmage | would 64bit wine run the any dll overrides i might have put into it? | 07:09 |
| Darkstep | anyone know if the linux drivers from ATI (specifically for an x800) are any good? | 07:09 |
| DistroJockey | hp: you could try changing the Device line in xorg.conf to nv instead of nvidia | 07:09 |
| DistroJockey | hp: Device section, driver line rather | 07:10 |
| hp | distrojockey: can i uninstall the driver if it crashes? last time i tried to do that in in restricted driver, i lost tGUI | 07:10 |
| darkscript | ok have a problem with my firewall config | 07:11 |
| DistroJockey | hp: no need to try uninstalling | 07:11 |

| AdemoS | Wine 0.9.46: Is there any way to configure Wine's link to your internet connection? No games are able to get internet access through it, but all non-wine software can. | 07:11 |

| DistroJockey | hp: just make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver line | 07:11 |
| darkscript | i cannot enable ports 22, 23 and 80 via lokkit and they are disabled now | 07:12 |
| darkscript | how can i open these ports again? | 07:12 |
| Flannel | AdemoS: #winehq is probably a better place to ask (yes, there is) | 07:12 |
| AdemoS | Flannel, ah, sometimes they send me back here though, for other software | 07:12 |
| DistroJockey | hp: you only have a TTY console atm? | 07:12 |
| darkscript | any ideas anybody? | 07:12 |
| Flannel | AdemoS: right. Ibelieve that is just a setup thing though, but I'm not really sure. | 07:12 |
| tsurasa | has anyone else had trouble getting icon themes to work? when i select a downloaded/imported icons theme, i just get the default gnome icons.. | 07:13 |
| Flannel | darkscript: did you do something in lokkit to disable them? | 07:13 |
| hp | distrojokey: i have no clue what that is? i'm new | 07:13 |
| AdemoS | Flannel, okay, thanks a lot for the tip | 07:13 |
| darkscript | i tried to enable one that was previously not enabled | 07:13 |
| darkscript | then the rest just disabled and did a complete lockdown | 07:13 |
| DistroJockey | hp: you have no GUI? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | darkscript: You don't need to "enable" ports. You juts need to have something listen to them. | 07:13 |
| darkscript | ? | 07:13 |
| hp | i made a fresh install | 07:13 |
| darkscript | they are being blocked by a firewall...are they not | 07:14 |
| darkscript | i've to httpd vsftpd and sshd running | 07:14 |
| Flannel | darkscript: Not unless you've added something. | 07:14 |
| DistroJockey | hp: but you have a $ prompt? | 07:14 |
| darkscript | nothing goes through | 07:14 |
| hp | yeah | 07:14 |
| darkscript | if a daemon doesnt count as something listening i am not sure what is | 07:14 |
| DistroJockey | hp: k, first do a: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup | 07:15 |
| Flannel | darkscript: By default, all you need to do to get apache or ssh listening is just install it (and then it starts). | 07:15 |
| hp | distrojockey, i did that, i'm going to restart now | 07:15 |
| hp | brg | 07:15 |
| hp | brb | 07:15 |

| Flannel | darkscript: what does `sudo iptables -L` give you? | 07:15 |
| DistroJockey | snap | 07:16 |
| Flannel | darkscript: lokkit, I believe, is just a GUI to iptables. Is there any reason you're not using firestarter, by the way? | 07:16 |
| lnxnwbe | i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and am using it rite now any helpfull pointers to set it up good? | 07:16 |
| darkscript | because this is on a server | 07:16 |
| terminhell | any idea why i cant initiate a TTY session? Im in X right now, but when i ctrl+alt+f1-f6 i just get a blinking cursor | 07:16 |
| darkscript | i prefer no gui | 07:16 |
| darkscript | and i dont like firestarter | 07:17 |

| Flannel | darkscript: lokkit is a GUI, isn't it? | 07:17 |
| darkscript | no it is not flannel, its an ncurses based app | 07:17 |
| DistroJockey | terminhell: sounds like the vga= issue | 07:17 |
| Flannel | darkscript: Ah, alright. Well, the iptables command will let us see what damage its done | 07:17 |
| darkscript | ok i'll paste it to you in one second. | 07:17 |
| lnxnwbe | zcat: i installed the restricted drivers for my xfx 8700 oc what is medibuntu? | 07:18 |
| DistroJockey | terminhell: if you remove vga=??? from the kernel boot line, you should have them back | 07:18 |

| terminhell | hmm | 07:18 |

| StevenX | I have a question about the partition part of installing Ubuntu. When I am choosing how big the new partition will be, am I choosing how big the partition for linux will be, or how big the partition for windows will be? | 07:31 |
| StevenX | For example, if I have 200 gig hdd, and I tell the program that the new partition should be 150 gigs, then is that 150 for windows and 50 for ubuntu, or the other way around? | 07:32 |
| Svenstaro | StevenX, the one for ubuntu you choose | 07:32 |
| bullgard4 | [Services] Why did Ubuntu 7.10 set acpid and reset apmd on my modern laptop computer MD97600? | 07:32 |
| zcat[1] | lnxnwbe: after that, you should have a whole lote more stuff available in synaptic (and probably a few extra programs in add/remove) -- libdvdcss2 is probably the one most people are after | 07:32 |
| StevenX | Svenstaro, thanks so much. I want to make Ubuntu 10 gigs | 07:32 |
| terminhell | if i remove that, will i still be able to boot into X normally? | 07:32 |
| Svenstaro | StevenX, you can easily make it out by the partition types: windows is NTFS, ubuntu is EXT3 | 07:32 |
| Svenstaro | stevenx, are you using the ubuntu installer or gparted? | 07:33 |
| DistroJockey | terminhell: yes (please put my name in your question if you are asking me) | 07:33 |

| terminhell | distrojockey sorry i dont use irc often =/ | 07:34 |
| zcat[1] | can't wait for hardy... wubi makes dual-boot so much easier | 07:34 |
| Svenstaro | StevenX, if you want real complex partitions and full control, you should use the gparted live cd | 07:34 |
| Svenstaro | zcat[1], i actually wanted to try wubi, what can be said about speed | 07:34 |
| Svenstaro | ? | 07:34 |

| nikrud | elpargo I'd do this: mount /dev/<root> /mnt && mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc && cp /proc/mounts /mnt/etc/mtab && sudo chroot /bin/bash && sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub && sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/<root> | 07:53 |
| DistroJockey | yes, have a swap | 07:53 |
| lnxnwbe | svenstaro: i am at the web site and it is spelled out in seriously almost another language | 07:53 |
| Waistless | shubbar: so it's already installed. I'm not sure what the problem might be then | 07:53 |
| llantll | yes, have a swap | 07:53 |
| Svenstaro | StevenX, if you do really heavy stuff you need a swap partition, or linux instantly crashes when you run outta ram | 07:53 |

| nikrud | elpargo I tend to stick with using the package management stuff | 07:54 |
| Shubbar | could it be from my usb speakers? | 07:54 |
| StevenX | Svenstaro, guess it doesn't hurt to do it. How big would you recommend? | 07:54 |
| hobbitboy | also, my keyboard seems really slow, like it doesn't register every 1-3 keys i press unless i press it really slowly. i know its not the keyboard because on xp its fine (im dual booting now). any ideas? is it just it being slow because of gnome running + 128MB ram? | 07:54 |
| Svenstaro | stevenx, 4GB should be plenty | 07:54 |
| lnxnwbe | svenstaro: do you follow what i am trying to do? | 07:54 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@MD97600:~$ hostid; 007f0101." What does the number 007f0101 mean? (I did read man hostid.) | 07:54 |
| StevenX | Svenstaro, for the swap alone? | 07:54 |
| DistroJockey | StevenX: and if you wan't to go into hibernate, you need the size of your RAM | 07:54 |
| StevenX | what file system shoudl the swap be? | 07:54 |
| Dam778 | would anyone in here be willing to point me in the direction of an IRC channel to get help with sound in ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| Svenstaro | hobbitboy, yes its because of that, you need at least 386mb of ram to run ubuntu | 07:54 |
| DistroJockey | StevenX: linux swap | 07:55 |
| Svenstaro | stevenx, yes, tho you might be able to cut it to 2gb | 07:55 |

| Svenstaro | lnxnwbe, well, what do you want to do? | 07:56 |
| hobbitboy | svenstaro: well, if i uninstall the GUI and install the lightweight one, will it be an issue anymore? | 07:56 |

| terminhell | distrojockey if i remove any values after the vga= or just change a value when i try to tty i just get what looks like an old nintendo cartridge crash lol | 07:57 |

| StevenX | Svenstaro & DistroJockey, I am installing now. Thank you for all the help. | 08:02 |
| Dam778 | ok | 08:02 |

| JDSBlueDevl | hi, does anyone know how to play encrypted DVD's? I have libdvdcss2 installed, but that isn't helping | 08:04 |
| elpargo | nikrud: no just a separate /home | 08:04 |
| bullgard4 | Svenstaro__: I agree. But grml and Ubuntu were the only distributions that were able to run on this computer when I bought it about 2 years ago. | 08:04 |
| elpargo | nikrud: /boot has the files it should from within the chroot | 08:04 |
| lothar | Hi all. Ubuntu noob here. just installed it and while downloading package information, I am seeing failed files | 08:04 |

| lothar | Is this notrmal? | 08:04 |
| hellhound | DistroJockey: no top seems to be fine but the load average is 1.36, 1.16, 1.20 | 08:04 |

| JDSBlueDevl | it keeps asking if libdvdcss2 is installed, when it clearly is | 08:09 |
| hobbitboy | Svenstaro__: no i mean, if i uninstall gnome/ubuntu-desktop, would it be the trouble worth it to download, burn, and install fluxbuntu? ive already got ubuntu on on the computer, why go through all that trouble if i can just uninstall that stuff, will it still be slow? | 08:09 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_, okay, go ahead :) | 08:09 |
| DistroJockey | terminhell: unless you also try removing quiet and bootsplash *shrugs* | 08:09 |

| kelvin911 | so did MS copy it? | 08:23 |
| Dam778 | ok thanks | 08:24 |
| JDSBlueDevl | oh, nvm, I had to add some more tags | 08:24 |

| |lilox|_ | Svenstaro__ no, i install all libs that the synaptic show me and the same problem | 08:25 |
| msingh | JDSBlueDevl, sounds to me that is a libdvdcss2 problem | 08:25 |
| Svenstaro__ | |lilox|_, mhhhh, pthread is a c++ lib | 08:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, so should I uninstall libdvdcss2 and libdvdread3, reinstall libdvdread3, then go into the docs directory and run the install script? | 08:26 |
| dishayu | goob : i'm inexperienced as far as ati cards are concerned... it gives a section for all such controls with my nvidia card... sorry.. | 08:26 |

| kelvin911 | really? | 08:31 |
| hyperair | long story short, ubuntu > windows =D | 08:31 |
| d0lphin_n0el | kelvin911 maby because dont have so much software running in the memori r lunch software thta only after afew years thta the computer will be able to running well they os for exemple | 08:31 |
| d0lphin_n0el | maby to much memory software | 08:31 |
| soldats | goob: if so does it have a "fn" key? if so "fn+F6" lowers the brghtness | 08:31 |
| hyperair | ._. i understood a few words from that | 08:31 |
| kelvin911 | i fresh installed XP and nothing running in background i can only send file to my friend at about 25KB/s | 08:32 |
| goob | kalevin911 - XP contains so much bloatware and phone-home gunk along with the fact that MS doesn't care about memory management... Linux was created by users for users - not to turn a profit with flashy marketing | 08:32 |
| kelvin911 | in ubuntu i get about 50KB/s to 75KB/s | 08:32 |

| goob | soldats - no the function keys don't affect the brightness at all - that is what i want to configure - but don't know where to start, lol | 08:33 |
| gaucho | What beautiful cool, just for fun, program you most like? | 08:33 |

| Shadow420 | Dr_Willis ok I have been follow the link you gave me and I am confused a little | 08:34 |
| kelvin911 | but cant do it in windows | 08:34 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, what link for what? :) | 08:34 |
| soldats | goob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642151&highlight=toshiba+screen+brightness this link may help you may have to edit it for your system but its a start | 08:34 |
| kelvin911 | seem like in ubuntu i can use up my internet bandwidth to the limit | 08:34 |
| kelvin911 | can that be fix in XP? | 08:34 |
| Shadow420 | I wanted to boot linux using WinXP Bootloader | 08:34 |
| hyperair | winxp hates linux | 08:35 |
| hyperair | are you sure you are even able to do that? | 08:35 |
| Dr_willis | Shadow420, i dont recall that question at all.. its doable. I hear. but never done it. | 08:35 |
| Gnine | !grub | 08:35 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 08:35 |
| magnetron | yes, hyperair and Shadow420, it's both possible and works well. it needs some tinkering to get it going though | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | Shadow420: This may help: http://jaeger.morpheus.net/linux/ntldr.php | 08:36 |
| hyperair | why don't you just use grub as the main bootloader? | 08:36 |
| goob | DistroJockey: tells me level: 7 <> commands: up, down <> commands level <level> (<level> is 0-7) | 08:36 |
| hyperair | then ubuntu can boot, and you can choose windows from the list | 08:36 |
| hyperair | much better imo | 08:36 |
| Dr_willis | i find it easier to keep the linux grub on the linux hd. and just use the BIOS menus to pick what HD to boot. | 08:36 |
| d0lphin_n0el | im sorry the question but im try to install and compile one webcam module and it gives to me this error >>>linux/config.h: No such file or directory <<< someone knows how can i fix it?! | 08:36 |
| magnetron | Shadow420: i think i read about it in the dual boot HOWTO on TLDP | 08:36 |
| terminhell | distrojockey: it works now :) thx | 08:36 |
| magnetron | d0lphin_n0el: did you rememeber to type ./configure ? | 08:36 |
| Dr_willis | d0lphin_n0el, i think you need the kernel header files. and of course the build-essential package | 08:36 |
| Shadow420 | ok then I need a link on it | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | terminhell: sweet, np :) | 08:37 |
| hyperair | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 08:37 |
| hyperair | d0lphin_n0el: run the command i said above | 08:37 |
| d0lphin_n0el | Dr_willis i tyr this :X and | 08:37 |
| terminhell | now i just gotta remember the name of the chat app i used to have that ran from terminal... | 08:37 |
| d0lphin_n0el | hyperair what command?! | 08:37 |

| Shadow420 | because I want to keep WinXP bootloader as my primary bootloader | 08:37 |
| kelvin911 | i have a question, now I have 250GB HD partition into C:\(NTFS) D:\(NTFS) (EXT3 ubuntu) (EXT3 swap). C, D, ext3 are primary. I still have empty space, can I partition it to other ext3 and install another linux there? | 08:37 |
| goob | guess that wasn't the right fn key lol | 08:37 |
| d0lphin_n0el | ok ok thanks lets e try | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | Shadow420: Google boot linux from xp bootloader (may get some info from that) | 08:38 |
| ppcguy | hey all | 08:38 |
| kelvin911 | will the other linux overwrtie the bootloader so that i cant get into ubuntu ?? | 08:38 |
| hyperair | d0lphin_n0el: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 08:38 |
| ppcguy | anyone here have any experiance with Open Swan? | 08:38 |
| hyperair | d0lphin_n0el: then you try compiling again | 08:38 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, you will need to remove one primary and make a extended partitionm that can hold the logicals. if you want more then 4 partitions | 08:38 |
| terminhell | ubotu ya that was the irc one i used to use, but there is one that uses the yahoo and msn protocols too | 08:38 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, 4 primary partitions max. thats the limit. | 08:38 |
| hyperair | ubotu = bot | 08:39 |
| ubotu | I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | !ubotu | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | :( | 08:39 |
| hyperair | xD | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | can i change that D: from primary to extended? | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, since one primary is swap you can do it with a live cd. and put the swap and other space on logicals inside a extended. | 08:39 |
| hyperair | D: awesome emoticon imo | 08:39 |
| hyperair | =D | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | without frying my ext3 partition? | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, changing from 'primary to extended' is not easially done. | 08:39 |
| hobbitboy | Sven: if your still here, i just booted into the fluxbuntu, what options should i choose to use the previous partitions i just made with ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| Svenstaro__ | hobbitboy, you only need to format the ext3 partiton on tell ubuntu its your / mountpoint | 08:40 |
| lux | can i ask for help in this chatroom? | 08:40 |
| msingh | JDSBlueDevl, any progress? | 08:40 |

| d0lphin_n0el | same mistake | 08:40 |
| DistroJockey | !ask | msingh | 08:40 |
| ubotu | msingh: 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. :-) | 08:40 |
| kelvin911 | can i use any partition manager in ubuntu to do that for me? | 08:40 |
| d0lphin_n0el | >>>linux/config.h: No such file or directory <<< | 08:40 |

| lux | could anyone help me to install themes? i searched for theme install guide but that didnt help me =) | 08:41 |
| magnetron | d0lphin_n0el: "configure is one module"? i don't understand that. "./configure" is a command you usually need to run to be able to compile | 08:41 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, if anything can help, the gpatred live cd can | 08:41 |
| kelvin911 | but i didnt find any workable download version of it | 08:41 |
| Dr_willis | lux, themes for what exactly.. and a theme is normally made of differnt parts. | 08:41 |
| magnetron | lux: did you download any gnome themes? | 08:42 |
| kelvin911 | then i go ahead and installed ubuntu | 08:42 |

| ethan961 | lux, do you use xfce/xubuntu? | 08:43 |
| magnetron | d0lphin_n0el: are you SURE? it seems to look for it. look for the INSTALL file, it should give you instructions | 08:43 |
| kelvin911 | will gparted corrupt my file table? | 08:43 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, no | 08:43 |
| kelvin911 | what if there is power outage during the re partitioning | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, it pays to have backups | 08:43 |
| lux | xfce? what this means.... if u mean what version i use then 7.10 if not then i dont know what u mean | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | lux, xfce is a different desktop then gnome. | 08:43 |
| lux | hmm | 08:44 |
| kelvin911 | how can i backup my ubuntu partition? | 08:44 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, the worst that can happen is the drive is wiped | 08:44 |

| ethan961 | lux, do you have a brown theme? | 08:44 |
| Dr_willis | lux, what did you install? | 08:44 |
| kelvin911 | i dont want to reinstall and setup the theme and everything if there is a failure | 08:44 |
| lux | im kind a new to ubuntu =) started yesterday | 08:44 |
| lux | hmm | 08:44 |
| kelvin911 | took me a week to setup the way i want now | 08:44 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu - gnome , xubuntu = xfce, kubuntu -= kde | 08:44 |
| lux | yes i have brown theme atm | 08:45 |
| kelvin911 | is there something similar to norton ghost in ubuntu? | 08:45 |
| Dr_willis | open your home dir and look in the help/about item :) see what it says | 08:45 |
| kelvin911 | maybe ubuntu ghost :) ? | 08:45 |
| DistroJockey | lux: try going to System - Preferences - Appearance then drag and drop your theme file in that window | 08:45 |

| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_, yes that one works too, but I prefer an individual file per cronjob | 08:46 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, install/run gparted | 08:46 |
| kelvin911 | is gpart command base? | 08:47 |
| kelvin911 | or gui? | 08:47 |

| Dr_willis | kelvin911, not much. | 08:50 |
| joot | or gparted | 08:50 |
| lux | w8 ill try | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, whats 'shown' to the user mainly. | 08:50 |
| d0lphin_n0el | magnetron just to do the command he says to i do and the just type make and make install | 08:50 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, the latter two are feontends to apt-get | 08:50 |
| goob | kelvin911 - synaptic is just a GUI front end for apt | 08:51 |
| kelvin911 | i found that add/remove is better for me | 08:51 |
| magnetron | d0lphin_n0el: what command does he tell you to do? | 08:51 |
| kelvin911 | because there is a description on what the software does | 08:51 |
| goob | kelvin911 - if you want to keep better track of dependencies, i suggest reading up on aptitude | 08:51 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, done, i've created /etc/cron.d/bot with 1 * * * * deadlyfirefox google.es and now? | 08:51 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_, make it executable | 08:52 |
| kelvin911 | whats dependencies? | 08:52 |
| romas | sound | 08:52 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, yes, read up on aptitude, it handles dependabcies best | 08:52 |
| kelvin911 | whats that? | 08:52 |
| d0lphin_n0el | magnetron make and make install | 08:52 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, packages that other packages need to run | 08:52 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, done | 08:52 |
| hobbitboy | god i hope i didn't erase my main disk | 08:52 |
| d0lphin_n0el | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 08:52 |
| * hobbitboy hates partitioning | 08:52 | |
| d0lphin_n0el | to have the sourceskernel files | 08:52 |
| kelvin911 | like the dll in system32 in windows? | 08:52 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_ now wait a bit :) | 08:53 |
| sayap_ikarus | ce g toh | 08:53 |
| d0lphin_n0el | and it missing me config.h | 08:53 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks ! | 08:53 |
| d0lphin_n0el | lets e try here something :X | 08:53 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, they have the same purpose, but different system of managing them | 08:53 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_ np | 08:53 |
| === sayap_ikarus is now known as ce_montok | ||
| Svenstaro__ | !helpersnack | 08:53 |
| ubotu | Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 08:53 |
| DistroJockey | aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken. lol | 08:53 |
| ethan961 | lol | 08:53 |
| ce_montok | hyyyyyy | 08:54 |
| kelvin911 | so which one handles dependancies better? | 08:54 |
| ethan961 | aptitude | 08:54 |
| Svenstaro__ | DistroJockey, like there was any application ever that wasnt y2k complaiant | 08:54 |
| hyperair | i prefer apt-get all the same | 08:54 |
| kelvin911 | sudo get-apt install, or add/remove, or synaptic? | 08:54 |
| hyperair | bad memories with aptitude | 08:54 |
| ce_montok | m,yhyhtyj uy, | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro__: hehe :) | 08:54 |
| goob | kelvin911 - dependencies are files that a program needs in order to run properly - when you use an installer it will link these dependencies for you, but different installers (apt-get vs. aptitude for example) will do it differently - from what i read aptitude is better with this as well as being a lot smoother on the user | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro__: was a fun year | 08:54 |
| hyperair | if i'm not mistaken apt-get is used by synaptic | 08:54 |
| hyperair | and aptitude doesn't play well with apt-get | 08:54 |
| hyperair | so if you use synaptic make sure you stick with apt-get all the way | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro__: next is the Y10K bug | 08:54 |
| goob | hyperair - correct | 08:54 |
| kelvin911 | aptitude is a seperated software? | 08:55 |
| ethan961 | no | 08:55 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | hm Svenstaro__ not work, i can't see a new tab on my firefox | 08:55 |
| lux | i chose compressed tar.gz file,drag and drop .......i did it but it dont let ...nothing happens | 08:55 |
| ethan961 | in some ways it is, but others it isn't, kelvin911 | 08:55 |
| hyperair | yes kelvin911 | 08:55 |
| Svenstaro__ | DistroJockey, no, when all unix times reset to 0, Ill have to search for when that is, buts its some 20 years ahead | 08:55 |
| goob | kelvin911 - yes and it should come with your distro | 08:55 |
| hyperair | but it uses a similar packaging backend | 08:55 |
| hyperair | which is the APT | 08:55 |
| StevenX | can anyone help me get my sound working? | 08:55 |
| hyperair | so they all manage the same packages | 08:56 |
| joot | kelvin911, I have used apt-get and add remove together and had no probs so far | 08:56 |
| hyperair | just some do it differently from others | 08:56 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_ can you upload the file you made to some paste service? | 08:56 |
| hyperair | i use apt-get install and autoremove | 08:56 |
| ethan961 | !alsa | StevenX | 08:56 |
| ubotu | StevenX: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 08:56 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro__: The Y10K bug is for the use of 9999 in accounting systems | 08:56 |
| kelvin911 | is there any website other than tinypic can upload picture? | 08:56 |
| Svenstaro__ | !paste | DeadLy_sp_ | 08:56 |
| ubotu | DeadLy_sp_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 08:56 |

| ChrisGibbs | hi, i followed this guide for recompliling my kernel https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 08:58 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro__: Miss read you, will have to look into that, as I will still be alive then I hope (not like the 10k one :)) | 08:58 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_, first of, add this to the very beginning, it needs to be the first line: #!/bin/sh | 08:58 |
| kelvin911 | http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3mp0.png | 08:58 |
| lux | ethan961, how know which 1 is (gnome-look) :/ | 08:58 |
| kelvin911 | so what should i do with it? | 08:58 |
| ethan961 | lux, http://gnome-look.org | 08:58 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_, then make all paths absolute, as in, provide the path to firefox bin, find it by typing "whereis firefox" | 08:58 |
| lux | k | 08:58 |
| kelvin911 | is 4GB swap good enough? | 08:58 |
| axmking | anyone know how to get broadcom wireless drivers | 08:58 |
| hyperair | kevin911 how much is your RAM? | 08:59 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, that is waaaay too large | 08:59 |
| kelvin911 | can i resize parition of c and d without loss data? | 08:59 |
| goob | axmking - have you tried their website? | 08:59 |
| kelvin911 | too large? | 08:59 |
| hyperair | ethan961 not too large... if you have an oversized RAM | 08:59 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, yes, and if i need find a script on ~/bin i need add /home/deadly/bin true? | 08:59 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, way too large | 08:59 |
| Svenstaro__ | kelvin911, yes, as long as you dont power off the comp | 08:59 |
| hyperair | you need that much space to store all your RAM contents for hibernating | 08:59 |
| kelvin911 | what do u mean? | 08:59 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_ exactly | 08:59 |
| ChrisGibbs | I am trying to get support for my 8Gb of installed memory without going to i386_64bit OS. I also use the nvidia and vmware restricted modules. The versions when i follow the guide dont match. Is this any issue? IE (linux-source-2.6.22-9 compared to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14) | 09:00 |
| goob | axmking - if you can dl the XP drivers you can use ndiswrapper-1.9 | 09:00 |
| StevenX | how can i find out what my soundcard is? | 09:00 |
| kelvin911 | is it bad? | 09:00 |
| hyperair | kevin911 when you hibernate, all your RAM contents are stored in your swap | 09:00 |
| axmking | ya i tried the website but when they say click on the drop down for firmware | 09:00 |
| axmking | i dont see that drop down | 09:00 |
| Svenstaro__ | StevenX type "sudo lshw -C audio" | 09:00 |
| kelvin911 | the swap too large is it badd? | 09:00 |
| DistroJockey | !broadcom | axmking | 09:00 |
| ubotu | axmking: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 09:00 |
| axmking | thanks | 09:00 |
| hyperair | kevin911 your swap should be approx 1.5 x RAM | 09:00 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, it is a waste of space | 09:00 |
| kelvin911 | i got lots | 09:00 |
| kelvin911 | dont worry, i have another 3 external, 120GB, 500Gb, and 500GB | 09:01 |
| StevenX | Svenstaro__, I get nothing when i type that in. | 09:01 |
| hyperair | kevin911: not bad, but you lock up your disk space into your swap and can't use it to store files | 09:01 |
| Svenstaro__ | StevenX try sound instead of audio | 09:01 |
| kelvin911 | hyperair can u explain more? | 09:01 |
| ethan961 | hyperair, if you have more than 2 gigs of ram you don't need a swap | 09:01 |
| === ronnie is now known as honeypot | ||
| hyperair | ethan961: you can't hibernate without swap | 09:01 |
| StevenX | Svenstaro__, that worked, thanks. | 09:01 |
| kelvin911 | lock my space into swap? | 09:01 |
| goob | kelvin911 - how big is your internal drive? | 09:02 |
| kelvin911 | 250 GB | 09:02 |
| hyperair | kevin911: swap is a partition, as is your root | 09:02 |
| kelvin911 | 250 GB Western Digital SATA | 09:02 |
| hyperair | if you have a humongous swap you can't reclaim it for disk space easily, not without resizing partitions | 09:02 |
| goob | kelvin911 - you don't want to cramp things up for virtual memory on the boot drive | 09:02 |
| bloops | hello. can I upgrade to hardy without connecting to the internet? I have the alternate cd. | 09:02 |

| gie | ddd | 09:02 |
| hyperair | kevin911: but since you've got humongous disk space, a swap of 4GB seems insignificant ;_; | 09:02 |
| axmking | ok sorry but i still have a problem. they keep asking for this firmware drop down in restricted devices but there isnt one | 09:03 |
| Dr_willis | bloops, i would wait till its actually released. | 09:03 |

| kelvin911 | my ubuntu is installed in the 3rd one ext3 | 09:03 |

| hyperair | tung: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree | 09:03 |
| goob | kelvin911 - lol yeah i wouldn't worry about 4GB then, unless you are running a missile trajectory program lolol | 09:03 |
| DistroJockey | bloops: not that I did though :) | 09:03 |

| ubotu | gie: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 09:04 |
| hyperair | kevin911: i've got 1.2GB RAM, and my swap is... 1.50GB | 09:04 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, a 2 gig swap is good | 09:04 |
| ethan961 | on the large side | 09:04 |
| hyperair | tung: enable your restricted repositories | 09:04 |
| kelvin911 | and i may decide to upgrade to 2GB later and i hear someone said i need at least 2 times RAM for swap so i choose 4GB swap | 09:04 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, /usr/bin/firefox works | 09:04 |
| tung | hyperair: or is it flashplugin-nonfree ? | 09:04 |
| axmking | anyone know how to make the firmware dropdown in restricted drivers magically appear? | 09:04 |
| hyperair | flashplugin-nonfree | 09:05 |
| goob | kelvin911 - you should be fine with how you have it set up - but you could easily save a couple gigs of space by resizing you swap partition - if it's worth you time lol | 09:05 |
| hyperair | tung:flashplugin-nonfree | 09:05 |
| StevenX | how do i mute / unmute in alsa? M doesn't seem to do anything | 09:05 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_ Im only now seeing that youre cron script would only start every first minute of an hour, I think what you want to accomplish is this: 60/* * * * * | 09:05 |
| hyperair | tung: my bad | 09:05 |
| blah569_ | Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make a RTL8186 wireless card work with Ubuntu? | 09:05 |
| ethan961 | kelvin911, when you have that much ram you only need a swap the size if the ram | 09:05 |
| tung | hyperair: ok | 09:05 |
| goob | axmking - if it's not listed in the dropdown - thenyou don't have the driver on your system yet - you are using the open source driver already | 09:05 |
| hyperair | kevin911: unless you run multiple virtual machines (which you can't with that little RAM) you don't need such a humongous swap | 09:05 |
| kelvin911 | should i put /home to other partition other than in the parition with ubuntu installed? | 09:05 |
| hyperair | kevin911: yes that is advisable | 09:06 |
| tung | hyperair: i got this in the end "The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 09:06 |
| tung | " | 09:06 |
| bloops | DistroJockey: I executed the cdromupgrade.sh file in the cd. it does not ask to upgrade automatic. But after about 150 of 800 packages it automatically retrieves the file from the internet. | 09:06 |
| tung | hyperair: but the download is complete | 09:06 |
| axmking | i think im using the ethernet driver just fine but the one for my wireless card isnt working | 09:06 |
| hyperair | tung: go to pastebin.com and paste the entire output | 09:06 |
| ethan961 | yes, kelvin911 | 09:06 |
| hyperair | then post the link | 09:06 |
| DistroJockey | StevenX: I can only use M on channels that have mm under them | 09:06 |
| terminhell | bah....i still cant seem to find a text based IM client | 09:06 |
| kelvin911 | i read online that it is bette to create 3 parition during ubuntu installed, one for root, one for home and one for swap, can someone explain more | 09:06 |
| axmking | i can see both devices when i check in a terminal | 09:06 |
| axmking | but for some reason wirless is not working | 09:06 |
| bloops | And then it fails when it cant retrieve... | 09:06 |
| magnetron | axmking: try to keep your question on one line | 09:07 |
| DistroJockey | bloops: ahh, I said no when it asked me (I never upgrade :)) | 09:07 |
| Svenstaro__ | DeadLy_sp_ I'm sorry I got it wrong again, what you want is this: */1 * * * * | 09:07 |
| StevenX | DistroJockey, thanks | 09:07 |
| hyperair | kevin911: you need root to store your program files | 09:07 |
| goob | axmking - go to the broadcom website and look for the driver there | 09:07 |
| hyperair | kevin911: just like C: in windows | 09:07 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, ;) | 09:07 |

| kelvin911 | what do u mean? | 09:08 |

| DeadLy_sp_ | Svenstaro__, nothing, i dont know which is the problem :/ | 09:09 |

| lux | when i got windows xp i used Winamps cause that was loud :D now using this music player what ubuntu got at first ...its so silent | 09:35 |
| todd_ | DistroJockey:well,I don't quite understand | 09:35 |
| ooo|ooo | I never thought ubuntu would need 4GB. What does it do with all that space?? | 09:35 |
| breakz | hey, since I upgraded my server from ubuntu 7.04 to ubuntu 7.10, it crashes after being up for almost exactly 7 days :/ keeps getting kernel panic, when I had 7.04, the uptime topped around 150 days, any ideas why I keep getting that error? | 09:35 |
| DistroJockey | todd_: you had a comma in the address you posted | 09:36 |
| magnetron | lux: change your master volume. upper right corner of the screen | 09:36 |
| ani1 | ooo|ooo: its got to have space to run programs and install the base system along with anything else you want to install. dont forget about swap space... | 09:36 |

| === liEta_cuTe is now known as shie^^ | ||
| lux | i did that first thing when i got ubuntu :D still too silent | 09:36 |
| qinjuehan1 | ooo|ooo: Look, My Vista laptop came with 20GB filled. 4GB is something to be happy about. | 09:36 |
| ooo|ooo | ani1: yeah, but 4GB still seems insanely much to me. | 09:36 |
| goob | zero_ - i don't think it'lll be a driver issue - i think you just need to configure the kernel to 'see' the card reader as a removable drive - you would need the port address, which should be the numbers in lspci, but i don't know what config file that you would have to put it in | 09:36 |
| === shie^^ is now known as shie | ||
| lux | magnetron: what u think about quodlibet ? | 09:37 |
| ani1 | ooo|ooo: its not like mydsl.. ubuntu comes with quite a bit its not stripped bare boned | 09:37 |
| todd_ | DistroJockey:you mean i should try news.usenet.com?yes ,I tried,did not work! | 09:37 |
| Chris| | ooo|ooo when you install a server ubuntu and build up the size makes a lot more sense | 09:37 |
| ooo|ooo | qinjuehan1: not for me. im a programmer myself and i know that even huge huge huge applications can be implemented in way less then 1MB. MB not GB! | 09:37 |
| talntid | i bought a new dell laptop.... | 09:37 |
| elpargo | anyone has had this, fdisk -l shows the correct partition table but gparted shows it as one block. | 09:37 |
| qinjuehan1 | ooo|ooo: Ubuntu has a lot of packaged software. Windows does not come with Photoshop, Ubuntu comes with Gimp. | 09:37 |
| magnetron | lux: what do you think about fail2ban? | 09:37 |
| kelvin911 | my ubuntu alreeady used up about 9 GB | 09:37 |
| talntid | and i ordered it with no O/S | 09:37 |
| talntid | best decision ever ;) | 09:37 |
| kelvin911 | 4GB seem nothing | 09:37 |
| === shie is now known as liEta_cuTe | ||
| qinjuehan1 | ooo|ooo: Don't forget bitmaps for the UI :D | 09:38 |
| ooo|ooo | qinjuehan1: yupp. but since the CD itself only needs 700mb i thought 2GB should be enough. | 09:38 |
| talntid | anyone ever wonder... how the old console games could be made with so little data? | 09:38 |
| ani1 | ooo|ooo: programs also need space to run you cant just fill it to the brim it will be very slow | 09:38 |
| talntid | like, 64k. | 09:38 |
| lux | fail2ban ? :S | 09:38 |
| kelvin911 | do i need to defrag my ubuntu partition? | 09:38 |
| qinjuehan1 | ooo|ooo: It is a compressed read-only Filesystem | 09:38 |
| Chris| | talntid i have | 09:38 |
| ooo|ooo | qinjuehan1: bitmaps dont have to be big. look at websites. they got their gui in a few kb normally. | 09:38 |
| qinjuehan1 | kelvin911: Not unless you use more than 85% of your space | 09:38 |
| goob | ooo|ooo - yeah but the CD is compressed and contains lots of uninstalled packages | 09:38 |
| Chris| | amazing how they can fit 32mbs in a amazing game isnt it? | 09:38 |
| qinjuehan1 | ooo|ooo: Jpeg!=PNG | 09:39 |
| DistroJockey | todd_: you said .com,nl right, I just thought that you should .com.nl instead | 09:39 |
| ooo|ooo | goob,qinjuehan1: ok. didnt know about the compresion of the cd. | 09:39 |
| kelvin911 | so if have 150 GB for ubuntu i should not have to worry about defrag? | 09:39 |
| kelvin911 | even if i do lots of download and delete files? | 09:39 |
| ani1 | !defrag | kelvin911 | 09:39 |
| ubotu | kelvin911: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 09:39 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 no defragging in linux | 09:39 |
| DistroJockey | todd_: .lt (sorry) | 09:39 |
| guja_nebeska | anyone, can ubuntu be instaled on fujitsu siemes containing vista on it? | 09:39 |
| zero_ | goob, alright, i have NO idea how to do that, but thanks for your help, at least now i know what direction to go with it | 09:39 |
| owh | Hi, when I attempt to connect to a Cisco VPN in Gutsy, I'm getting the error described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-597288.html | 09:40 |
| DistroJockey | todd_: just trying to say that , is different to . | 09:40 |
| goob | zero_ lol neither do i, but i believe that the card reader is just a bus that the system needs to be config'd to recognize | 09:40 |
| qinjuehan1 | kelvin911: Not if you are me. I used 200GB already on 300GB. If you really want to defrag, use pyfragtools somewhere in the forums. Ext3 is not perfect, you see. Normally there is no fragmentation, unless you *torrent* or massively fill up your hard disk | 09:41 |
| kelvin911 | i download a lot so i am worrying about fragmentation | 09:41 |
| qinjuehan1 | kelvin911:torrenting creates fragmentation even in Ext3 | 09:41 |
| kelvin911 | i guess i will BT download to my d:(NTFS) | 09:41 |
| goob | zero_ so in theory, if this is correct, you would just need to add that port address to whatever .conf file maps your ports | 09:41 |
| kelvin911 | what about straight http rapidshare download? | 09:41 |
| todd_ | DistroJockey:but news.usenet.com.lt does not work either!would you please to advice some other newsgroups servers? | 09:42 |
| kelvin911 | i usually download all stuffs to my external hard drive | 09:42 |
| tung | Does anyone know where I can find information about making my Ubuntu have the Mac Os menubar? | 09:42 |
| qinjuehan1 | kelvin911: It would be WORSE in NTFS...don't | 09:42 |
| kelvin911 | because i hear that BT will damage HD | 09:42 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 you generally dont need to worry about defragging, i dont | 09:42 |
| kelvin911 | i dont care about that d:NTFS | 09:42 |
| ani1 | tung: avant/awn | 09:42 |
| kelvin911 | its for data only | 09:42 |
| qinjuehan1 | kelvin911:It won't really *damage* the hardware, just slow down by fragmentation normally | 09:43 |
| tung | ani1: whats that? | 09:43 |

But without re-installing. What kinds of directories do i have to move or delete to achieve that? I want to reset GNOME settings, default display manager, default preferred applications, default wallpaper, pretty much anything except personal settings like Evolution contacts and fir | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | can i defrag NTFS hard drive in ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| DistroJockey | Sorry, I'm a bit offtopic here | 09:47 |
| todd_ | DistroJockey:China!yes,China! | 09:47 |
| Arelis | !offtopic | DistroJockey | 09:48 |
| ubotu | DistroJockey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:48 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: ;P | 09:48 |
| Arelis | DistroJockey: bet you already knew that. Sorry, then. | 09:48 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: hehe | 09:49 |
| Arelis | DistroJockey: Do you have an answer to my question, by the way? | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | can u dual boot more than 1 linux? | 09:49 |
| hobbitboy | yes | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: probably removing the hidden . folders in your home folder | 09:50 |
| Chris| | Arelis the closest thing i can think of that is making a new user account, you'd have a fresh desktop but your old settings would still be in your old home dir ex /home/Arelis/ you could copy your files from /home/Arelis/ to your new home... but that is thinking outside of the box | 09:50 |
| Arelis | DistroJockey: that would mean destroying ALL settings | 09:50 |
| kelvin911 | will installing other linux make it impossible to boot into ubuntu? | 09:50 |
| ani1 | DistroJockey: Arelis the . folders are what contains pidgin information and preferences etc. | 09:50 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 no | 09:50 |
| Arelis | Chris|: good idea. | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: depends which . folders you remove | 09:50 |
| Arelis | DistroJockey: yes but when you delete .gnome/.gnome2/.gconf, for example, you lose ALL gnome settings. | 09:51 |
| kelvin911 | so if i install lets say slackware, do i able to see the bootscreen at startup? | 09:51 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: maybe create a new user and copy over what you need (then delete if you wish) | 09:51 |
| Arelis | DistroJockey: like installed themes | 09:51 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| Arelis | can i, after that, restore the name of the second account to the first one, again? | 09:52 |
| ani1 | kelvin911: it would need to be on a different partition but you would see grub first you edit menu.lst to show ubuntu and whatever else you want the choose the OS you want to boot | 09:52 |
| dwm09 | how do i remove a program that comes with the ubuntu 7.10 install? | 09:52 |
| koshari | kelvin911 grub should give you a choice of the versions you want to boot | 09:52 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: I think so, but the UID will be different | 09:53 |
| ani1 | dwm09: sudo apt-get remove <insert packagename here> | 09:53 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 if you install xp, ubuntu, and then linux mint you would have access to all three, even slackware would show you the other os's to boot, but you'd have to configure it to do so i'd beleive | 09:53 |
| Chris| | believe* | 09:53 |
| DistroJockey | Arelis: not tried, so use caution :) | 09:53 |
| Dr_willis | theres no real need for ubuntu and linux mint. since theres not much diff in the 2. | 09:53 |
| talntid | mint has a pretty background, and smells good. | 09:54 |

| Dr_willis | kelvin911, theres no need to mess with Mint at all. if you want to test out other disrtos. I suggest trying them inside vmware, or virtualbox. that will be MUCH easier. | 09:55 |
| ani1 | kelvin911: how much ram do you have? | 09:55 |
| kelvin911 | do i pick the 4th partition as swap for linuxMint? | 09:55 |

| hobbitboy | fluxbuntu is sexy | 09:55 |
| kelvin911 | i got lots of space dont worry | 09:55 |

| kelvin911 | well, just in case | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, you may want to take the extra space and keep it as a 'backup' filesystem. | 09:56 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis: kelvin911, except if you use hibernate right? | 09:56 |
| kelvin911 | i remember when i was using photoshop in XP my swapfile blows up to like 2GB | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | DistroJockey, all bets are off there.. includeing the bet - if hibernate even works... | 09:57 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 this is true, i have 2gb of ram, and barely use 50mbs out of the 5gb of swap space ubuntu gives you | 09:57 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis: :) | 09:57 |
| Dr_willis | I got 3gb ram. and never touch swap that i ever notice. | 09:57 |
| ani1 | Why would you set your swap to 5gb if you only have 2gb of ram :\ | 09:57 |
| Dr_willis | i normally put 512mb swap partition on every hard drive i have. | 09:57 |
| Chris| | ani1 thats the default for my system? | 09:57 |
| Dr_willis | this box has 3mb ram. and 512 or so of swap thats it. | 09:57 |

| itai-michaelson | can anyone (not living in China) confirm that the lxde repo is up? can you open "http://people.linux.org.tw/~pcman/ubuntu%20./ " in your browser? | 10:06 |

| Kellopeli_ | ok | 10:09 |
| ompaul | kelvin911, no you have to tell it to | 10:09 |

| unikon | kelvin911 what them is being used in that screenshot | 10:09 |
| kelvin911 | there is a program called oovoo anyone know? | 10:10 |

| kelvin911 | and u can have up to 6 people talking video conferencing | 10:10 |
| ignatius | I am having a weird network problem on my new Ubuntu server installation (7.10). I can connect to the internet without any problems (ping works), but if I try to download files I get only about 4k of data then the transfer hangs. I have a 82547EI Intel network card (e1000 driver). Other computers on the same network does not have this problem and the computer did not have this problem before when it had Windows installed on it. I have goo | 10:10 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy i think f12 | 10:10 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: does it have mic function? | 10:10 |
| kelvin911 | and u can make PC to phone call for free | 10:10 |
| jaffarkelshac | join #ubuntu +1 | 10:10 |
| sanzanric | todd_: how would i remove a line that is in a bunch files from all those files | 10:10 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: sounds good :) | 10:11 |
| kelvin911 | the phone destination has to be in US and Canada tho | 10:11 |
| kelvin911 | u get i believe 500 minutes free | 10:11 |
| gafatoa | Hello guys ! Miro 1.2 doesn't stop the screensaver during a video playback. As I've not seen many complaints about this I would like to know if I this is a standard problem or specific to my system. Thanks | 10:11 |
| kelvin911 | PC to phone | 10:11 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: I am hungarian | 10:11 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, but its strange that I get a 404 error ,usually when its blocked i get a server not found... | 10:11 |
| albert__ | kelvin911:is pc to pc free? ablolutely? | 10:11 |
| kelvin911 | so my gf call me from taiwan to my phone for free | 10:11 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy sorry f12 is for htop, not top sorry | 10:11 |
| kelvin911 | albert__: yes, free | 10:12 |
| talntid | anyone know of any programs that scan a range of IP's and map it out on a visual network? like http://www.10-strike.com/lanstate/lanstate_shot.png | 10:12 |
| todd_ | sanzanric:you mean that by a command? | 10:12 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: that url you gave me was funny, I chopped some stuff off then end though: try this http://people.linux.org.tw/~pcman/ubuntu/ | 10:12 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: THANKS | 10:12 |
| sanzanric | todd_: yes | 10:12 |
| kelvin911 | albert__: for 500 minutes, but i guess u can sign up new account after the 500 minuts | 10:12 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy htop is just like top but a bit better and with a h infront of it! :) | 10:12 |
| kelvin911 | pc to pc is free | 10:12 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: :D | 10:13 |
| todd_ | sanzanric:perheps sed would help；!sed | 10:13 |
| kelvin911 | but for PC to PC i found that skype is the best | 10:13 |
| jaffarkelshac | talntid, if you cant find a similar one install that one with wine | 10:13 |
| geirha | sanzanric: « sed -i '/foo/d' file1 file2 » will remove all lines containing the word foo in file1 and file2 | 10:13 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 there's a few apps for that in linux and skype works in linux | 10:13 |
| kelvin911 | but oovoo can support up to 6 people webcam together | 10:13 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: yes, but I have a 64bit AMD | 10:13 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: it doesn't work | 10:13 |
| kelvin911 | Chris|: yes i use skype | 10:13 |
| ompaul | talntid, apt-cache search network | grep map --- gives a couple of answers --- seems to me you want lanmap | 10:14 |
| vignesh | how do i upload the openpgp key which i have generated to the keyserver?? | 10:14 |
| sanzanric | todd_: alright, thanks | 10:14 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, i see , without the end bits i can open it here as well. | 10:14 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: yep, usually if you get the 404 you're doing good -- timing out is bad =P | 10:14 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, however is this post:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738958 the repo link is with the end bit but apt-get gives me a 404. i will try to chop the end in my sources.list and see | 10:15 |
| cjsstables | Can a dual boot ubuntu client.. ie XP/Ubuntu have their desktop server up by an ubuntu server. for instance if the client is XP and user xxx signs in and saves a file to the dsktop, then later signs in on an Ubuntu client will that same file be available on the ubuntu client desktop? | 10:15 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: oovoo is not avaible for linux, and the windows edition is shareware too | 10:16 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: i could try it with wine | 10:16 |
| ooo|ooo | Hey People! | 10:16 |
| ooo|ooo | Im trying to connect to a wlan access point I bought yesterday. | 10:17 |
| ooo|ooo | Any ideas how to do that? | 10:17 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: ah, that's because apt needs the end bits, but when using a browser, you have to chop off the " ./" at the end | 10:17 |
| geirha | cjsstables: not sure how good idea that would be if it was possible, but you can make a shortcut on the ubuntu-desktop, taking you to the files on the windows-desktop | 10:17 |
| HardyOne | !wifi | ooo|ooo | 10:17 |
| ubotu | ooo|ooo: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:17 |
| ooo|ooo | I can see the name of the wlan device under networks, but then what do i do? | 10:17 |
| ooo|ooo | HardyOne: I know there is a lot of documentation on the net. But is it really that complicated to connect to wlan via ubuntu? | 10:18 |
| cjsstables | geirha.Ok. Can you point me to an instruction set for that | 10:18 |
| kelvin911 | windows edition isnt shareware | 10:18 |
| kelvin911 | its free | 10:18 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, i just learned that....but i still get a 404 with apt. strange | 10:18 |
| kelvin911 | u dont need to pay anthing | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: that is strange | 10:18 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: I will take a second look at it | 10:18 |
| HardyOne | ooo|ooo, no it isnt but you do need to go to the link and follow instructions | 10:18 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: anyway, thanks | 10:18 |
| albert__ | kelvin911: bye | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: let me give it a try and see what I get | 10:18 |
| kelvin911 | try to install it in windows, it is free | 10:18 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, thanks | 10:19 |
| kelvin911 | but still the quality in skype is better | 10:19 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, i was apt-getting lxde | 10:19 |
| ooo|ooo | HardyOne: Common, thats laughable. I have been into computers for many years and *I* dont understand that page. So if you have to be on that level to connect to a wlan - good night. | 10:19 |
| differentreality | hi... I messed up with grub and tried to fix it using root (hd0,1) and setup(hd0) but now when I boot i get command promt saying grub... how do I boot from my installed linux distro ?? | 10:19 |
| geirha | cjsstables: just browse to you windows-home, then drag the Desktop-folder to your ubuntu-desktop using the MIDDLE mouse button. Then it will give you the choice to create a link | 10:19 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 earlier when i said you can use skype in linux, and you said you used skype did you mean you used it in both windows and linux? | 10:19 |
| Chris| | clarifying :) | 10:19 |
| Abhinandh | skype is the best of all uptil now i terms of quality 4 me | 10:19 |
| kelvin911 | the only thing oovoo has is it support webcam with a group of 6 people at the same time and PC to phone free (restricted in US and Canada phone only) | 10:20 |
| hobbitboy | i ps aux and check memory, and it seems like theres like 50 meg just being used by nothing | 10:20 |
| cjsstables | ok cool.. | 10:20 |
| kelvin911 | u need fast internet for oovoo otherise the quality is bad | 10:20 |
| HardyOne | ooo|ooo, dont know what to tell you. if you are willing to give up that quick then perhaps you are better off staying with windows | 10:20 |
| kelvin911 | yes Skype is the best | 10:20 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: I'm having no problems with it | 10:20 |
| kelvin911 | i stop using msn now mainly skype | 10:20 |
| ooo|ooo | HardyOne: Staying with windows? I dont have windows. | 10:21 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: if you want to put your /etc/apt/sources.list file on the pastebin I'll take a look at it | 10:21 |
| kelvin911 | and skype detect my webcam in ubuntu without installing any driver | 10:21 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, thanks - i will try to apt-get update again and see if that helps | 10:21 |
| cjsstables | geirha can you point me to a great set of documentation for setting up ubuntu samba/ldap server that includes connecting clients? | 10:21 |
| kelvin911 | and pidgin doesnt have webcam support , right ?? | 10:21 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 i think it does, not sure | 10:22 |
| itai-michaelson | oooboo what card do you got? | 10:22 |
| kelvin911 | unikon: check my PM | 10:23 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, it works now , after apt-get update ....is that strange or what.... | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: good :) | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | yeah | 10:23 |
| kelvin911 | i cant find any webcam option in pidgin or gaim | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | sometimes that happens | 10:23 |
| geirha | cjsstables: I'm afraid I don't have much knowledge on samba and ldap, so I'll have to say: go fish (google) | 10:24 |
| compwiz18 | kelvin911: pidgin/gaim don't do webcams | 10:24 |
| cjsstables | ok... | 10:24 |
| hobbitboy | what programs usually take up the most memory? | 10:24 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 i use amsn for webcam use in msn | 10:24 |
| itai-michaelson | compwiz18, thanks for your help anyway.... | 10:24 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy firefox | 10:24 |
| kelvin911 | maybe i will try amsn later | 10:24 |
| kelvin911 | does it pick up the webcam without any trouble? | 10:25 |
| compwiz18 | itai-michaelson: no problem | 10:25 |
| kelvin911 | i am using logitech quickcam messenger | 10:25 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 it did for me :) | 10:25 |
| Abhinandh | i too use same webcam | 10:25 |
| Chris| | kelvin911 how me too, it picked it up no problem | 10:25 |
| ompaul | kelvin911, try it on a live cd and then come back with specific issues in most cases you will be okay - or better still do a dual boot- or better still kill off windows and make the jump | 10:25 |
| Abhinandh | it works out of the box | 10:25 |
| hobbitboy | well, i guess i should have said "processes". im not running anything but fluxbox and about 100 meg is being used. seems like X is taking up ~17, and the next highest one is something called "rox" thats taking up 7. where is the rest coming from? | 10:26 |
| clarezoe | can anyone tell me where to find the services and applications that are started when computer starts? | 10:26 |
| Abhinandh | clarezoe: services or applications? | 10:27 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy if you install gnome-system-monitor it would tell you specificly in gui in processes tab | 10:27 |
| kelvin911 | ompaul: i cant completely kill windows, i play games there | 10:27 |
| kelvin911 | like doom3 and etc | 10:27 |
| hobbitboy | Chris| im running fluxbox | 10:27 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy doesnt mean you cant install gnome apps in fluxbox though | 10:28 |
| clarezoe | Abhinandh, I mean like mysql, apache are services, compiz, screenlets are application, | 10:28 |
| hobbitboy | i have 4 mb free, what makes you think ill be able to run something else =P | 10:28 |
| utnubudnai | utnubudnai:!sed | 10:28 |
| Chris| | lol hobbitboy | 10:28 |
| hobbitboy | Chris| there has to be a commandline that does it | 10:28 |
| utnubudnai | utnubudnai:|sed | 10:28 |
| ompaul | !wine | kelvin911 | 10:29 |
| ubotu | kelvin911: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 10:29 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy if i was you i would reboot and see how much ram you're using | 10:29 |
| hobbitboy | top/ps aux don't show anything that takes more that ~20 meg | 10:29 |
| wael | hello. i have a Toshiba laptop and i wanted to remove Ubuntu from it so i deleted ubuntu partition but now i cant log into Windows because there's a GRUB problem! how can i solve this problem ?? | 10:29 |
| kelvin911 | will running thru wine be slower than running the game in winxp? | 10:29 |
| clarezoe | Abhinandh, there're so many services and applications that I don't what them to start when computer starts, I wander how to remove them | 10:29 |
| ompaul | !cedega | kelvin911 | 10:29 |
| ubotu | kelvin911: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 10:29 |
| utnubudnai | !sed |utnubudnai | 10:29 |
| itai-michaelson | wael boot from a windows cd and run fixmbr | 10:29 |
| kelvin911 | wine or cedega? | 10:29 |
| compwiz18 | you can use top to see application ram usage | 10:29 |
| geirha | kelvin911: Odd that you mentioned doom3, doom3 has a native linux client. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3 | 10:30 |
| wael | itai-michaelson: can i solve this problem with out a windows cd ?? | 10:30 |
| kelvin911 | i installed doom3 linux | 10:30 |
| hobbitboy | compwiz18: i did but it still only accounted for ~50-60 meg, the other 40 seemed to just disappear | 10:30 |
| kelvin911 | but ask for CDkey and i got invalid cdkey | 10:30 |
| itai-michaelson | wael yes you can do it from a live Ubuntu CD | 10:30 |
| kelvin911 | the key works in XP but not in linux | 10:30 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: are you taking into acount the cache used by the system | 10:31 |
| kelvin911 | how to get around that? i dont play doom3 online | 10:31 |
| itai-michaelson | wael, its not that easy though - let me find the link for you | 10:31 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: what does free -m give you | 10:31 |
| kelvin911 | so it will be nice if i can run doom3 that is installed already in my C:\ | 10:31 |
| hobbitboy | one sec, i did a restart on Chris| 's request | 10:32 |
| DistroJockey | kelvin911: not had any experience with this, but try different case for the letters | 10:32 |
| itai-michaelson | wael -http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 | 10:32 |
| zuhaib | Hey i need some help in trying to understand this syslog | 10:32 |
| zuhaib | http://pastebin.com/d64baf08b | 10:32 |
| kelvin911 | there is no case | 10:32 |
| kelvin911 | all in caps | 10:32 |
| zuhaib | This is the errors i see just before my system hanged up | 10:32 |
| Pie-rate | evolution crashes on startup for me, i'd like to delete its config files. Where are they located in my home dir? | 10:32 |
| DistroJockey | kelvin911: and you can't enter a instead of A ? | 10:32 |
| wael | itai-michaelson: ok thx | 10:33 |
| kelvin911 | DistroJockey: yes u can only enter Cap letter | 10:33 |
| itai-michaelson | wael i believe you can download some DOS utilities which you can put on a CD or floppy that will fix your MBR, don't know any personally | 10:33 |
| DistroJockey | kelvin911: k, sorry. | 10:33 |
| kelvin911 | how to get around the CDkey issue/ | 10:33 |
| Sinnerman | zuhaib: looks like there are problems with your sdb drive... if that's what you're booting from, that might explain it. | 10:33 |
| stefg | zuhaib: Could be a bad harddrive ... | 10:33 |
| zuhaib | Its not what i am booting from | 10:34 |
| zuhaib | Ubuntu-server sits on a ATA drive | 10:34 |
| magnetron | kelvin911: we will not help you with pirating software. | 10:34 |
| stefg | zuhaib: Dying harddisks often scramble the whole bus, so even if you are not booting from it, it might prevent the other drives from working correctly | 10:34 |
| Sinnerman | zuhaib: i don't think that's terribly good either: hda: lost interrupt. | 10:35 |
| Sinnerman | zuhaib, stefg he seems to be having problems with sdb and hda both. | 10:35 |
| zuhaib | =| | 10:35 |
| kelvin911 | ok | 10:35 |
| Sinnerman | at any rate, i don't think "hda: lost interrupt" is normal. | 10:36 |
| zuhaib | So what am i looking at, sda and sdb are on a SATA Controller card while the hda is on the onboard ATA on the mobo | 10:37 |
| utnubudnai | !wind | utnubudnai | 10:37 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy i'm going to bed but if you're still having problems and want to use less ram, i'd advise you installing alternative low ram using programs such as instead of firefox, links2 works great with option -g eg: links2 -g www.google.com | 10:37 |
| stefg | zuhaib: i'd look at dmesg for errors, then boot a Desktop-CD, install smartmontools and check if the harddisks are healthy | 10:37 |
| hobbitboy | Chris| its completely idle running fluxbox from startup | 10:37 |
| utnubudnai | !wine | utnubudnai | 10:37 |
| hobbitboy | and has 4 meg free out of 128 | 10:37 |
| hobbitboy | well, "106" | 10:38 |
| Sinnerman | stefg: i've heard smart isnt infallible, but well, it's better than nothing. | 10:38 |
| kelvin911 | how to use wine? | 10:39 |
| kelvin911 | i installed wine now | 10:39 |
| hobbitboy | 10:39 | |
| spoonie_au | Hi all | 10:39 |
| kelvin911 | do i go browse C:\? | 10:39 |
| compwiz18 | kelvin911: wine NAME_OF_EXE | 10:39 |
| stefg | Sinnerman: smart usually tells you that your drive is dying much too late :-\ but in this case it might give a clue if the drive, the controller or some software are related to the problem | 10:39 |
| kelvin911 | and double click any exe file i wanna run? | 10:39 |
| itai | . | 10:39 |
| compwiz18 | kelvin911: I think that works too, IIRC | 10:39 |
| Chris| | hobbitboy before i go i can advise one other thing, build your own system, using ubuntu server, install xorg gdm fluxbox etc.. you'll use approximently 50% less ram that way, but doing that might not seem easy if you dont like tinkering with stuff.. i'd only do that if you really want to use less ram though | 10:39 |
| zuhaib | I will check both drives, any way i can do this remote? | 10:39 |
| zuhaib | stefg: the box is headless | 10:39 |
| ompaul | kelvin911, you don't you install it within wine | 10:39 |
| ompaul | !wine | kelvin911 (read this please) | 10:40 |

| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: did you ever run that free -m? | 10:40 |
| kelvin911 | what if doom3 is already installed in C:\? | 10:40 |
| hobbitboy | yes, just did, was waiting for it to boot up, one sec | 10:40 |
| compwiz18 | ah, ok | 10:40 |
| kelvin911 | i dont wanna reisntall again, i want to be able to continue the gamesafe there | 10:40 |
| hobbitboy | total: 106, used: 104: free: 2 | 10:40 |
| stefg | zuhaib: so how did you install then? | 10:41 |
| kraft__ | hi | 10:41 |
| kraft__ | i locked myself out of root | 10:41 |
| kelvin911 | do i get the dll hell by running wine? | 10:41 |
| ompaul | kelvin911, what if you go with the flow it is not a replacement it is an alternative and you have to do what I suggest you can copy your saved stuff after the install I guess | 10:41 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: what about the +/- buffers line? | 10:41 |
| kraft__ | by breaking sudo | 10:41 |
| [[thufir]] | The highest resolution I can select is 800x600, but normally it's higher. what happened? hardware failure? | 10:41 |
| kraft__ | any gui app that i can call to edit /etc/hosts that will ask for auth? | 10:41 |
| zuhaib | stefg: had a monitor hooked up for the install of ubuntu server, system was stable so I pulled the monitor off | 10:41 |
| itai | kraft__: what do you mean "breaking sudo"? | 10:41 |
| stefg | !fixres | [[thufir]] | 10:41 |
| ubotu | [[thufir]]: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 10:41 |
| ompaul | !rootsudo | kraft__ | 10:41 |
| ubotu | kraft__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 10:41 |
| zuhaib | stefg: its been rock solid for over a month | 10:42 |
| hobbitboy | used: 75 free: 30 | 10:42 |
| ompaul | kraft__, ^^ read that stuff there I think it tells you how to get out of jail | 10:42 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: for instance, my system is using 986 mb of ram, but it is really using 400MB for disk cache to speed stuff up | 10:42 |
| kraft__ | itai: removed the 127.0.0.1 entry for my real host name | 10:42 |
| zuhaib | stefg: troubles really did not start till i installed azureus.. Dont know if it relates but just an FYI | 10:42 |
| kelvin911 | what does the wine menu in Application pull down menu does? | 10:42 |
| stefg | zuhaib: any means of booting the system to rescue mode and running openssh server on it, so you have ssh access? | 10:42 |
| kyle__ | hi everyone, I've got a quick question about dd_rescue.....anyone free to help? | 10:42 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: according to that you're using 75MB of RAM for system, and you have 30 free for more stuff | 10:42 |
| zuhaib | The system boots fine, i an ssh'ed in righ tnow | 10:42 |
| ompaul | kraft__, ehh there are some things you should never do - that is one of them ;-) guess you need a live cd and mount the disk and add it back | 10:43 |
| stefg | zuhaib: so just sudo apt-get install smartmontools | 10:43 |
| kraft__ | ompaul: that link seems to be for using sudo | 10:43 |
| hobbitboy | compwiz18: yikes, how can i tone that down? | 10:43 |
| hobbitboy | wiat, 30 more free? | 10:43 |
| hobbitboy | wait* | 10:43 |
| hobbitboy | the 75 used/30 free was the buffer/cache | 10:43 |
| kraft__ | ompaul: yeah, just rying to avoid moving a bunch of crao arond | 10:43 |
| [[thufir]] | stefg: you don't think it's hardware? | 10:44 |
| kraft__ | so there is no gui app that will ask for auth? | 10:44 |
| kelvin911 | what is the software i run without the need to install? | 10:44 |
| kelvin911 | can i just run it in wine/ | 10:44 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: what are you running on there? | 10:44 |
| ompaul | kelvin911, did you read that web page? | 10:44 |
| kraft__ | i.e how would you edit /etc/hosts from the desktop? | 10:44 |
| hobbitboy | basic fluxbuntu install | 10:44 |
| kraft__ | without using cmdline | 10:44 |
| compwiz18 | kraft__: press alt+f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/hosts to get it in a text editor | 10:45 |
| itai | kraft you cant edit it without super user privliges | 10:45 |
| kyle__ | ok, I'll take that as a no! :-) is there any better irc channel to get advice on ddrescue? | 10:45 |
| stefg | [[thufir]]: no, ususally it's that the display isn't detected properly, so X goes to a safe fallback setting | 10:45 |
| ompaul | compwiz18, please - that is sudo nano on F2 .... | 10:45 |
| kelvin911 | http://img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot5rp7.png do i go like wine BitComet ? | 10:45 |
| kraft__ | itai: running gksudo ends with this: | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended... | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | No password prompt found; we'll assume we don't need a password. | 10:46 |
| compwiz18 | ompaul: ...nano won't get you a GUI ;) | 10:46 |
| zuhaib | stefg: All my drives pass | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | oop | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | gotit | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | don't run gksudo bash | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | just gksudo, then xterm from the gui | 10:46 |
| kyle__ | can anybody even read what I'm saying??? I'm new to IRC | 10:46 |
| kraft__ | WOHOO | 10:47 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: yep, we can see you | 10:47 |
| kyle__ | ahh, good | 10:47 |
| compwiz18 | !ask | kyle__ | 10:47 |
| ubotu | kyle__: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:47 |
| ompaul | kraft__, oi stop using enter as a punctuation | 10:47 |
| amokk | hello :D | 10:47 |
| kyle__ | so...can anyone answer a quick question about dd_rescue? | 10:47 |
| kraft__ | ompaul: ok | 10:47 |
| kraft__ | wonlt do it again | 10:47 |
| stefg | zuhaib: check the manpages how to look at the internal smrt-logs of the drives | 10:47 |
| hobbitboy | compwiz18 basic fluxbuntu install | 10:47 |
| kyle__ | ok, simple, using dd_rescue, it rescues to an image file, but the disk to be recovered is larger than the destination partition.....what to do? | 10:48 |
| stefg | zuhaib: it can as well be some acpi or irq issue. what hardware is that? | 10:48 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: if you really really want to use less ram, do a server install, then install fluxbox on that | 10:48 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: that'll be about as little as you can get | 10:48 |
| kyle__ | I don't need to recover all the data | 10:49 |
| amokk | ¿is it possible to view the content of a minimized windows when using compiz-fusion effects like ring switcher? | 10:49 |
| rejeep | Hi! I wanted to try a library which required ncurses and since I only have a temporary installation I pulled in a bunch of packages that had the name "ncurses" in it (from adept_manager). And then it started to clean out my whole system, program after program. I don't care since it was a test installation. But I wanted to give a headsup! | 10:49 |
| kelvin911 | how to browse hidden directory? | 10:49 |
| kyle__ | also, it it possible to private message on here so we don't clutter up the board? sorry, I'm new to irc | 10:49 |
| kelvin911 | ls -hidden? | 10:49 |
| hobbitboy | compwiz18: thats what i was thinking about doing. i have ubuntu-server on a tower for an actual server and its doing well. guess ill go through with that. thanks a lot | 10:50 |
| zuhaib | stefg: the SATA controller is an Promise SATA Controller, and the ATA is the onboard mobo which i really need to check (could be VIA as that is the chipset used) | 10:50 |
| compwiz18 | hobbitboy: I can get it to use about 30 IIRC with a command line boot | 10:50 |
| stefg | zuhaib: what CPU / chipset? | 10:50 |
| Abhinandh | kevin911:press ctrl+h and all hidden directories will be visible | 10:50 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: you can use just plain dd (I don't know the difference between dd_rescue and dd) and give it a start position and ending position | 10:50 |
| [[thufir]] | stefg: ok, thanks. I'm working on figuring out why my resolution dropped, here's the xorg I'm going through: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61583/ | 10:50 |
| zuhaib | stefg: AMD XP 1800+, VIA KT266A | 10:51 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: but you won't be able to read any of the data off said partition unless you take the whole thing | 10:51 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: but the position...I'm assuming that's a physical position on the hard drive - I don't know where the bad sectors are | 10:51 |

| hobbitboy | how do i elegantly stop X | 10:52 |
| kindofabuzz | will it work? | 10:52 |
| stefg | zuhaib: try the acpi and irqpoll boot options, and possibly nohz=off | 10:52 |
| lesshaste | how do you install a source package normally using apt-get? | 10:52 |
| zuhaib | stefg: ok | 10:52 |
| kindofabuzz | hobbitboy: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? | 10:52 |
| stefg | !apt | lesshaste | 10:52 |
| Seveas | hobbitboy, log out via the gui, then hit <ctrl><alt><F1>, log in in text mode, run this: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 10:52 |
| ubotu | lesshaste: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 10:52 |

| compwiz18 | kindofabuzz: te # should be no problem | 10:53 |
| lesshaste | stefg: I am not sure that helped :) | 10:53 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: also, is the img file compressed? There's a lot of empty space on the bad disk, so if it were compressed I'm sure it would fit | 10:53 |
| Seveas | Symmetria, 155.232.137.229 155.232.191.229 | 10:53 |
| lesshaste | stefg: I want to install source | 10:53 |
| === tommy is now known as rainx79 | ||
| compwiz18 | kyle__: if you're really good you might be able to compress it on the fly or something, but I don't know how to do that | 10:53 |
| compwiz18 | like piping dd through gzip or something | 10:53 |
| Seveas | Symmetria, a cname to ubuntu-archive.mirror.ac.za actually, which points to those IP's | 10:53 |
| Symmetria | Seveas cool, thanks | 10:53 |
| rainx79 | hey | 10:54 |
| Prometheus | hey, i have an x server problem, i get a black screen after bootsplash and i've tried different drivers (ati, vesa, fglrx). the only thing that seems to work for me ist the xorg.conf.failsafe | 10:54 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: ok, thanks anyway. Is there no other tool that allows me to scan the disk and take files from it? | 10:54 |
| zuhaib | stefg: btw I just pulled the smart logs on the drive and a few things popped up | 10:54 |
| rainx79 | I just did a fresh install of ubuntu updates and all I have my video card up and running correctly no is there something i need to install to configure beryl or what ever ubuntu is using... | 10:54 |

| kyle__ | compwiz18: ok. cheers | 10:55 |
| itai | rainx79: i think its installed by defualt | 10:55 |
| maek | Prometheus, does it happen for generic drivers ?? | 10:55 |
| stefg | lesshaste: man apt .. the section on apt-get source | 10:55 |
| kelvin911 | so waht if the program i have doesnt need to install, do i have to put it inside the virtual drive /.wine/ in order to run it in wine? | 10:55 |
| rainx79 | itai but how do i configure it? | 10:55 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: good luck :D maybe try putting the bad disk in the freezer | 10:55 |
| lesshaste | stefg: that didn't help either :) I read that but must be doing something wrong | 10:55 |

| rainx79 | itai thanks for the help anyways | 10:57 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: else it could be a realllllly mean joke | 10:57 |
| robm | can someone help with a samba issue? | 10:57 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: I don't blame you, I would too if some random person on the internet told me to put my drive in the freezer | 10:57 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html | 10:57 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: I'm assuming it should be in a sealed plastic bag first though | 10:57 |
| itai | rainx79: its something like compiz fusion something manager | 10:57 |
| kelvin911 | is wine running as root? | 10:57 |
| Prometheus | maek: i tried configuring with dpkg-reconfigure, and drivers ati, fglrx and vesa as well as manually editing xorg.conf | 10:57 |
| hobbitboy | kindofabuzz: im running fluxbox | 10:57 |
| lesshaste | stefg: that was from sudo apt-get build-dep wine | 10:57 |
| kindofabuzz | but you trust everything else on the internet? it's written down so it must be true!! =_ | 10:57 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: yeah | 10:57 |
| maek | Prometheus, Have you tried installing the drivers via Envy ?? | 10:57 |
| Prometheus | nope | 10:58 |
| Miouge | what is the size of an ubuntu miror ? | 10:58 |
| Prometheus | whats that? | 10:58 |
| ompaul | !envy | 10:58 |
| ubotu | envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 10:58 |
| lesshaste | stefg: solved it | 10:58 |
| stefg | zuhaib: doesn't look too bad... nothing serious in my opinion | 10:58 |
| kindofabuzz | hobbitboy: sudo etc/init.d/flux stop? | 10:58 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: thanks. Also, you know a good gui utility for analysing a hard disk (ntfs) | 10:58 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: I'm thinking maybe there's just some simple way to repair something on it to make it mountable | 10:59 |
| Prometheus | maek: i can try, but i have a radeon 9800 which worked fine under feisty | 10:59 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: nope, but there probably is one... | 10:59 |
| maek | Envy installed my ATI drivers no problem (the quality of ATI drivers are another matter) | 10:59 |
| kindofabuzz | hobbitboy: i think flux uses xdm, so /etc/init.d/xdm stop | 10:59 |
| lesshaste | ... only 98 new packages needed :) | 10:59 |
| compwiz18 | kyle__: sorry, I'm not much help here | 10:59 |
| hobbitboy | ah ok thanks | 10:59 |
| kyle__ | compwiz18: no worries! better than no help at all | 10:59 |
| zuhaib | stefg: yeah, i dont know if its really the HD or something to do with azureus. I know it sounds nuts, but the system was rock solid up till i gave azureus cli a try. I am thinking it might have to do something with the way azureus was doing the hash checking as i moved my torrents over *or* disk cache | 10:59 |
| kyle__ | Anyone else got any experience using dd_rescue?? | 11:00 |
| maek | http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 11:00 |
| zuhaib | stefg: I am moving from rtorrent to azureus because rtorrent does not allow me to stream files from my box to my PC without a major performance hit | 11:00 |
| itai | rainx79: probably compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:00 |
| itai | install that | 11:00 |
| stefg | zuhaib: i don't think azureus can directly affect hardware. it might just reveal a problem which was ther before. IIRC the Via KT266 had some bugs, you might want to google for that | 11:00 |
| rainx79 | yes I just did itai thanks a bunch though | 11:01 |
| maek | Prometheus, make sure you are on generic drivers before you install your drivers | 11:01 |
| zuhaib | yeah, i always thought the "A" version fixed most of them.. But i will look in to it more | 11:01 |
| itai | rainx79: no problem..... | 11:01 |
| stefg | zuhaib: so you are looking at a kernel or hardware related problem | 11:02 |
| Prometheus | thanks maek. i'll try that | 11:02 |
| zuhaib | stefg: ok so that is my focus, and yeah i will try the system with the Kernel options you mentioned | 11:02 |
| [[thufir]] | stefg: that was very weird and scary, but those directions worked :) what happened? very odd. | 11:02 |
| stefg | [[thufir]]: sometimes the video hardware detection needs another kick in the a** , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is an acronym for that :-) | 11:05 |
| kjalil | hi, how do I stop screen switching when using my laptop's touchpad's scrolling feature? | 11:05 |
| [[thufir]] | ok | 11:05 |
| kjalil | this only happens on the desktop | 11:05 |
| maek | kjalil, Switching ?? how do you mean ?? | 11:06 |
| kelvin911 | i am installing Maple10 thru wine i think i am stuck | 11:06 |
| kjalil | maek: when I try to use my touchpad and all the windows are minimized, and I'm on the desktop. If I scroll vertically on the touchpad, the virtual screens switch, from one to the other | 11:07 |
| kjalil | maek: there must be a setting to turn off somewhere | 11:07 |
| kjalil | maek: i don't want to turn off vertical scrolling in firefox, though. | 11:07 |
| maek | I think you have to disable a plugin in Compiz kjalil | 11:08 |
| kjalil | maek: ah, i think you are right. where is the compiz config thingy? | 11:08 |
| kelvin911 | what if i am stuck during installing in windows app in wine? | 11:08 |
| rainx79 | How Do I add more desktops on ubuntu right now I only have two | 11:08 |
| maek | kjalil, hang on I will find out the name of the plugin | 11:08 |
| stefg | zuhaib: and BTW, i'd check if the hd controller card sits tightly in its slot. maybe it's just a loose contact, or corrosion on one of the pins | 11:09 |
| maek | kjalil, open Compiz configuration manager (or something like that) | 11:09 |
| kelvin911 | please look http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot6ik8.png | 11:09 |

| lux | poey, so how can i download some? from where i means | 11:17 |
| kelvin911 | how to get the force quit applet | 11:17 |
| sunbird | since you're talking about bluetooth... | 11:17 |
| sunbird | i'm having trouble getting mine to work in 7.10 x64 | 11:17 |
| lux | popey* | 11:17 |
| Seveas | lux, a bluetooth dongle is hardware. You can't download that | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: right click your panel on the top.. add to panel, add the force quit applet.. then use it to force close whatever that is | 11:17 |
| lux | its already in my pc? | 11:17 |
| Seveas | lux, we don't know what's in your pc. | 11:17 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, alt+f2 to open a lancher window, type xkill in the bar, that will get you a X cursor for your mouse, click the windows you don't want to kill it , repeat as needed | 11:18 |
| pajamian | Pelo: nice tip, I didn't know that one myself. | 11:18 |
| lux | sry....my mistake i didnt read your text ... | 11:18 |
| anaoum | Pelo: how do we get out of xkill | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: i didn't knwo that either, good one, I just always used the force quit applet | 11:19 |
| Pelo | pajamian, I don'T remember whre I got it , just type man xkill for more details | 11:19 |
| kelvin911 | cant kill with xkill | 11:19 |
| Pelo | anaoum, once you killed someting , you will be out of it | 11:19 |
| kjalil | maek: thanks | 11:19 |
| anaoum | Pelo: what if i dont want to kill something | 11:19 |
| lux | i mean...is there any software? which let send things from pc to phone ? | 11:19 |
| anaoum | Pelo: nevermind, right click does it | 11:19 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, gksu xkill then | 11:20 |
| lux | i dont have hardware for that, is there software which let send things from pc to phone | 11:20 |
| Pelo | anaoum, if you don't want to kill anything you shouldn't be carrying a loaded gun | 11:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 11:20 |
| Boohbah | !ot | 11:21 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 11:21 |
| Pelo | lux can you plug your phone in the computer with a usb cable or somethjing ? | 11:21 |
| Boohbah | !omg | 11:21 |
| anaoum | Pelo: i wanted to kill something, but then it killed it self | 11:21 |
| anaoum | Pelo: i must still shoot someone !?!? | 11:21 |
| kelvin911 | force quit thingy doesnt work | 11:21 |
| ubotu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 11:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: are you sure?.. i've never had that not work. | 11:21 |
| pajamian | Pelo: it seems to work by aborting the connection to the xserver. A more effective method is to send a sigterm with kill or sigkill if that doesn't work (kill -9) | 11:21 |
| kelvin911 | i am installing a software thru wine | 11:21 |
| kelvin911 | and it stucks | 11:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: thats irrelevant | 11:22 |
| kelvin911 | the software is Maple 10 | 11:22 |
| ompaul | kelvin911, #winehq for support with wine issues | 11:22 |
| kelvin911 | i think it uses JAVA maybe that s why | 11:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: no, thats not why, force quit would still kill it | 11:22 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, what was the app ? | 11:22 |
| talntidwrk | send me a copy of it, i'll get it working :) | 11:22 |
| pajamian | kelvin911: that's fine, you just have to install java in the wine instance, then. But if you can figure it out it's sometimes better to run the program in the native Linux java. | 11:23 |
| rainx79 | So, Maybe someone can answer this question. Do any of you have an idea on how I would go about getting my videos from Veoh.com | 11:23 |
| kelvin911 | Maple 10 | 11:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | rainx79: they work fine for me.... do you have flash installed? | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | rainx79, a lot of the veoh videos are flash based. and can be downloaded with varioys firefox extebnsions | 11:23 |
| kelvin911 | it's about 150 MB | 11:23 |
| Pelo | rainx79, what format does veohcom usualy put out ? | 11:23 |
| IdleOne | rainx79 download them? | 11:23 |
| kelvin911 | how to send to u? | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | veoh also their own custome player (windows only) not sure what format those are in. It can download the videos also.(some of them at least) | 11:24 |
| rainx79 | well some videos won't play the full length video and to be able to do that you need to download it with the veoh player which is for windows only | 11:24 |
| novato_br | does anyone know how to remove super glue from glass? | 11:24 |
| pajamian | rainx79: look into wine, then. | 11:24 |
| IdleOne | novato_br hot water | 11:24 |
| [SAFC]stevec | novato_br: scratch it off? | 11:24 |
| rainx79 | I guess that will have to do then | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | rainx79, yep. those are like ads for getting you to use the full pplayer. wine has issues with the veoh player i hear. | 11:25 |
| pajamian | novato_br: nail polish remover. | 11:25 |
| Pelo | novato_br, razor blade or acetone | 11:25 |
| kelvin911 | wineserver -k work :) | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | rainx79, those are ones you proberly cant download anyway. :( | 11:25 |
| novato_br | thx, i will try that | 11:25 |
| kelvin911 | someone help me in #winehq | 11:25 |
| rainx79 | I'll figure something out | 11:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: if the install froze up, why don't you just restart X? | 11:25 |
| rainx79 | thanks anyways for the information | 11:25 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, if noone is helping you in winehq atm, be patient, , come back later, or restate your issue periodicaly | 11:26 |
| kelvin911 | dont know how to restart X | 11:26 |
| pajamian | kelvin911: cool, btw, if it really is a java program you may be able to run it with the Linux version JVM which would be better than running under wine. | 11:26 |
| novato_br | is it possible to running compiz with Nvidia TNT2 video card ? | 11:26 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, ctrl alt backspace | 11:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: you'll lose any unsaved, but control alt backspace, and sign back in | 11:26 |
| DistroJockey | rainx79: veoh.com works fine for me (Hardy beta) | 11:26 |
| kelvin911 | i dont wanna restart i am sending a file thru FTP to my gf | 11:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | then quit griping | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | DistroJockey, the flash videos at veoh.com is only part of their library. :( | 11:26 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, sudo killall -9 wineserver | 11:27 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis: link me? | 11:27 |
| Dr_willis | They got links somewhere on their homepage. | 11:27 |
| kelvin911 | i remember that kill -9 thing in university | 11:27 |
| Dr_willis | for the veoh.exe player (and no it dont like wine) | 11:27 |
| kelvin911 | kill -9 the ultimate kill coommand ?? | 11:27 |
| DistroJockey | Dr_willis: I clicked one and it works :) *shrugs* | 11:27 |
| pajamian | kelvin911: yep, pretty much. | 11:28 |
| pajamian | kelvin911: kill -9 will kill anything. | 11:28 |

| pajamian | Pelo: no such processs :-P | 11:29 |
| kelvin911 | i bring down the university server with this | 11:29 |
| rocio | holaaaaa | 11:29 |
| Dr_willis | DistroJockey, thats not as good as quality. they have 2 ways of watching the videos.. the old flash way.. and the veohtv way. PLUS theres shows that can only be watched in veohtv | 11:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | anli: you shouldn't really need to.. at least i never have had to. | 11:29 |
| Pelo | anli, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, the resolutions are listed about the middle of the file | 11:29 |

| kelvin911 | i just found my maple 9 image file it may contains linux version in there | 12:09 |

| kelvin911 | how/ | 12:10 |
| bartmon | Try searching for a program called bin2iso | 12:10 |

| bobzero | hallo i have some problems while shuting down my system, i cant see the menu where i can chose "shutdown", "reboot" etc.... | 12:10 |
| bobzero | can someone help me? | 12:10 |
| |ismael| | hi somebody know ekiga? | 12:11 |
| magnetron | bobzero: try hitting "ctrl+alt+backspace". WARNING! it will reboot the graphical parts of Ubuntu | 12:11 |
| magnetron | !ask | |ismael| | 12:11 |
| ubotu | |ismael|: 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. :-) | 12:11 |
| |ismael| | ok sorry.i would like use voipbuster in ekiga but i dont know | 12:12 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: It isn't, sorry. I remember I found it on Google. You gave to compile it yourself though. | 12:12 |
| smoogz | I have recently downloaded ClamTH Virus Scanner.... When i tyr and update my signatures ( i assume this will update the virus scanner) It says that i must be root to update. How do I become root? | 12:12 |
| bartmon | It's very straightforward. | 12:13 |
| kelvin911 | how do u compile software? | 12:13 |
| kelvin911 | is it hard? | 12:13 |
| snama | no | 12:13 |
| Slart | |ismael|: isn't voipbuster an application in itself? | 12:13 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: no, it's just one command for simple programs | 12:13 |
| kelvin911 | or is it like compiling little gcc file? | 12:13 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: gcc -o name-of-executable name-of-source-code | 12:13 |
| kelvin911 | make aaa.gcc -o whatever.out ? | 12:13 |
| |ismael| | in the page of voipbuster i cant download voipbuster for linux | 12:13 |

| bobzero | hallo i have some problems while shuting down my system, i cant see the menu where i can chose "shutdown", "reboot" etc.... Since I installed xcomprg for awn i cant see the shutdown menu | 12:14 |
| Slart | |ismael|: or you want to use your voipbuster account from Ekiga? | 12:14 |
| kelvin911 | how do u compile a program that is gui base? | 12:14 |
| kelvin911 | like compiling mplayer ?? | 12:14 |
| kraut | who maintains the floodbots? | 12:15 |
| IdleOne | kraut I believe it is LjL | 12:15 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: Such complex programs usually come with a Makefile and then you can just run "make". | 12:15 |
| kraut | IdleOne: thanks | 12:15 |
| |ismael| | i have an account from voipbuster,i would like call to my country with some program | 12:15 |
| kraut | LjL: are you there? | 12:15 |
| kelvin911 | whats the different if u compile it or install in thru add/remove? | 12:15 |
| bartmon | But usually the recipe goes like this: "./configure", "make", "sudo make install" | 12:16 |
| kelvin911 | and why people need to compile linux kernel? | 12:16 |
| al_qaida | citizens under negating technologies for life and people's safety! | 12:16 |
| kelvin911 | is it already installed in ubuntu? | 12:16 |
| Slart | |ismael|: look here... I haven't used voipbuster myself but it seems other people are | 12:16 |
| Slart | |ismael|: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529051 | 12:16 |
| IdleOne | kelvin911 most people never need to compile they're own kernel | 12:17 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: Well with the add/remove method you can uninstall and upgrade it easily. If you install a program manually you have to update, compile and uninstall manually because the system doesn't know of the installed program. | 12:17 |
| |ismael| | ok thank you and sorry for my english | 12:17 |
| dumb4midi | how can i connect a midi keyboard through my soundcard? i dont get it working | 12:17 |
| kelvin911 | then why compile it yourself? | 12:18 |
| kelvin911 | for fun? | 12:18 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux distribution, including Ubuntu. Some peole like to tweak it a bit and to make it runnable they have to recompile it after tweaking. | 12:18 |
| snama | dumb4midi you just connect it with gameport midi adapter | 12:18 |
| dumb4midi | i have | 12:18 |
| IdleOne | kelvin911 you can compile yourself if you need/want the most up to date software but that is not always a good idea so it is best to stick with the pre-packaged apps in the repositories | 12:18 |
| snama | if you have a joystickport | 12:18 |
| dumb4midi | but i doesnt work | 12:18 |
| bartmon | kelvin911: Yes, for fun! That's what open source allows people to do! | 12:18 |
| snama | have you used qjackctl? | 12:19 |
| dumb4midi | i want to play with with zynaddsubfx | 12:19 |
| snama | yeah | 12:19 |
| snama | install qjackctl | 12:19 |
| kraft__ | slightly different queston then. I can write to a partition: | 12:19 |
| kraft__ | sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 bs=1 count=1 | 12:19 |
| kraft__ | dd: writing `/dev/sda3': No space left on device | 12:19 |
| dumb4midi | ok i try | 12:19 |
| snama | then fire it up and tell me when youre ready | 12:19 |
| fanch_ | fanch | 12:19 |
| kraft__ | however: /dev/sda3 2432 38913 293041665 fd Linux raid autodetect | 12:19 |
| kraft__ | any ideas? | 12:20 |
| dumb4midi | snama: iam ready | 12:20 |
| snama | click connect | 12:20 |
| snama | then go to midi tab | 12:20 |
| dumb4midi | and then | 12:21 |
| bartmon | kraft__: is /dev/sda3 mounted by any chance? | 12:21 |
| snama | you should fire up zynaddsubfx before you start qjackctl | 12:21 |
| kraft__ | bartmon: no | 12:21 |
| snama | well if you can find your soundcards midi input you click it and then you click on zynadd to the left and press connect | 12:21 |
| PU826 | hello who know all destop installer source list ? | 12:22 |
| snama | your soundcards midi port should be to the right | 12:22 |
| PU826 | LjL ? | 12:22 |
| lothar | Hello I am having trouble with java. What is the paste bin address again? | 12:22 |
| bartmon | kraft__: Is the RAID array up? Then you should probably write to some device called /dev/md3... | 12:23 |
| kelvin911 | i am hooked into this ubuntu linux just like i was hooked into win95 back in 95 | 12:23 |
| PU826 | greatz helpfull server | 12:23 |

| bartmon | kraft__: Well do you have any of these devices? | 12:25 |
| bartmon | kraft__: /dev/md* | 12:25 |
| smoogz | i thought it would be good to have | 12:25 |
| snama | well its not neccesary on linux yet | 12:25 |
| snama | not yet or maybe never | 12:25 |
| smoogz | oh ok cool | 12:25 |
| kraft__ | bartmon: yep, but the disk in question isn't part of an active array | 12:25 |
| al_qaida | halamahala! | 12:25 |
| lothar | the first linux virus will wipe out so many people | 12:25 |
| kraft__ | md0 is currenty clean + degraded | 12:26 |
| bartmon | smoogz: sudo means super user do, but the user that executes it must be in the user group admin | 12:26 |
| snama | dumb4midi did you try several setups? i mean connecting zynaddsubfx with different ones | 12:26 |
| dumb4midi | do i need to make some settings in zynaddsubfx? | 12:26 |
| smoogz | i am | 12:26 |
| smoogz | i got it | 12:26 |
| snama | you shouldnt need to | 12:26 |
| al_qaida | Allah akbar! | 12:26 |
| snama | i used it that way on debian etch | 12:26 |
| bartmon | kraft__: Oh, then you probably typed the correct device before. | 12:26 |
| snama | worked perfectly | 12:26 |
| PU826 | dont use any patch or app with root | 12:26 |

| Ethan | I get a 'bash: grep: command not found' | 12:26 |
| Ethan | does anyone has an idea why ? | 12:26 |
| smoogz | i just didnt know it would see me as the root with sudo before the command | 12:26 |
| FloodBot2 | Ethan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:26 |
| dumb4midi | i installed ubuntu studio | 12:26 |
| smoogz | but it makes sense thnx for the help | 12:26 |

| dumb4midi | i connect the both but then nothing happends | 12:27 |
| marcreichelt | hi there | 12:27 |
| al_qaida | Allah akbar! | 12:27 |

| eternal_fizzer | hello - don't kick me, I'm new :-) I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 - firefox died & won't restart, tried opening update manager, it says software index broken, so opened Synaptic update manager, and tried "fix broken packages" but same problems. | 12:28 |
| dumb4midi | its an old keyboard from 1990 and i don`t have the manual | 12:28 |
| eth01 | dumb4midi: guess what, ubuntu-studio has it's own channel. #ubuntu-studio :) | 12:28 |
| PU826 | lothar what happened he say thinks | 12:28 |
| marcreichelt | I have a mixed data / audio CD, and I want to copy the whole CD (incl. the audio tracks) and emulate it | 12:28 |
| snama | jtravnick: i personally think that its the problem of the windows friends to get virus protection | 12:28 |
| marcreichelt | does anybody have an idea how I can do this? | 12:28 |
| dumb4midi | eth01: they are still sleeping there | 12:28 |
| PU826 | lothar and he remember the GOOD | 12:28 |
| eth01 | can we get back on topic too, please. | 12:28 |
| bartmon | eternal_fizzer: What kind of error do you get? I'm getting similyar issues as well. | 12:28 |
| PU826 | lothar u havent any ? | 12:28 |
| eth01 | dumb4midi: sometimes you won't get instant answers. it's call patience. | 12:28 |
| dumb4midi | snama: should the connection line be green or red | 12:28 |
| lothar | pu - In English? possibly sentences? | 12:29 |
| marcreichelt | I know how to copy a data cd and I can mount it | 12:29 |
| eternal_fizzer | it just says broken software index in update manager | 12:29 |
| snama | hmm on my setup its grey | 12:29 |
| marcreichelt | but the command "dd" does not work here | 12:29 |
| eternal_fizzer | or should I look elsewhere? | 12:29 |
| al_qaida | Osama bin Laden ftw! | 12:29 |

| eternal_fizzer | bartmon: and now there are a pile of "security updates" I'm just running | 12:34 |
| bartmon | eternal_fizzer: Ok, wothout the typos: dpkg crashes because of a parse error in `/var/lib/dpkg/status' | 12:34 |

| eternal_fizzer | anyone else lose firefox? it died and i can't get it to restart, even after doing an update (but still 7.04) | 12:40 |
| tj13820 | lothar, .bin is an archive, install 7-zip to extract it | 12:41 |
| m1dlg | lothar - i thinks a .bin is an image file, you might need to break it down or burn it to disk | 12:41 |
| kelvin911 | u can use 7zip to extract it/ | 12:41 |
| lothar | It is the neweszt version of java | 12:41 |
| eth01 | .bin files are usually very big btw | 12:41 |
| m1dlg | tj13820 beat me to it | 12:41 |
| kelvin911 | 7zip extract *.bin file ?? | 12:41 |
| tj13820 | yup, 7-zip beats file roller any day | 12:41 |

| tj13820 | no, not exatcly | 12:42 |

| tj13820 | you need the correct plugin for it to "self-extract" | 12:42 |
| marcreichelt | lothar: | 12:42 |
| marcreichelt | sh <filename>.bin | 12:42 |

| kelvin911 | no it doesnt | 12:42 |
| m1dlg | yes it does | 12:42 |
| kelvin911 | my 7zip has no gui | 12:42 |
| tj13820 | go to add remove programs and search 7-zip under all programs | 12:42 |
| tj13820 | install the one with 4 or 5 stars, it has a gui | 12:42 |

| terminhell | i bet ubotu could single handedly fix like %90 of the problems here | 13:55 |
| terminhell | chazco: yes, from the grub menue | 13:55 |
| sharkp | philwyett, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61604/ | 13:56 |
| terminhell | chazco: you can select older kernel versions from there, though you may have to enable them manually | 13:56 |
| chazco | Any more details on the process? | 13:56 |
| lothar | how do i know if i am at the root? | 13:56 |
| tj13820 | lothar* wait, you have the jre-6u5-linux-i586.bin | 13:56 |
| chazco | terminhell - I need a _newer_ kernel... Hardy in Gusty, not the otherway round | 13:56 |
| inqui | hi all, i want to move processes from cpu_core to cpu_core or how to start them in a special core ... or general how to manage processes in respect to several cpu_sores | 13:56 |
| lothar | tj, that is what i have | 13:56 |
| tj13820 | ok, i'll give you the commands for it, let me get them | 13:57 |
| lothar | cd desktop@ | 13:57 |
| msingh | inqui, how would that work if you've got SMP? | 13:58 |
| terminhell | chazco: mybad..i get them mixed up :p | 13:58 |
| inqui | msingh: i have no idea... | 13:58 |
| chazco | np... there is a bug in the Gusty kernel which appears to have been fixed in Hardy | 13:58 |
| terminhell | are you wanting to just upgrade to the newer version? | 13:58 |

| CJS3141 | I downloaded a script to install IE6 under Wine, it is a /bin/sh script, and when I type ./IE6script it won't run--returns "bash: ./IE63: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory", so what am I doing wrong? | 14:40 |
| === laichi is now known as ChiLam | ||
| jrib | CJS3141: use dos2unix in the tofrodos package to convert the line endings of your file | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, if the script was ie4linux or something like that, the wine people wont even talk to you until you flush it .. They consider it in the same light as we do automatix.. very bad mojo | 14:41 |
| CJS3141 | jrib: So there's something wrong with the line endings? When I pull it up in gedit it looks fine... how come? | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle, /join #Alsa if the mini jack you are talking about is for sound. | 14:42 |
| Toznoshio | What was the point of automatix anyway? | 14:42 |
| ompaul | !automatix | Toznoshio | 14:42 |
| ubotu | Toznoshio: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 14:42 |
| CJS3141 | jac_sparrow: no it's not the old ie4linux script, it's a newer one from their website | 14:42 |
| legend2440 | alastair1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Toznoshio, they were trying to automate the installation of some things.. Nobel idea, it just didnt work. | 14:43 |
| kelvin911 | installing | 14:43 |
| jrib | CJS3141: the file was saved on windows, windos uses \r\n to end lines. Unix just uses \n | 14:43 |
| TroyDF | terminhell, Thanks! I solved my problem | 14:43 |
| jrib | CJS3141: \r shows up as ^M | 14:43 |
| terminhell | i had automatix on my other system....nothing ever went wrong, even after using it to install some stuff | 14:43 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: install that libstdc and make symbolic link work | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, newer one from WHOS website | 14:44 |
| jrib | kelvin911: cool | 14:44 |
| nox-Hand | Hey | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | !worksforme | terminhell | 14:44 |
| ubotu | terminhell: 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/ | 14:44 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: then should i pick default install directory under /home/? | 14:44 |
| terminhell | troydf: np | 14:44 |
| CJS3141 | jack_sparrow: Bring me up to speed please... what's the URL for the WHOS website? | 14:44 |
| jrib | kelvin911: sure, that works. If it's just one user then I don't see any issue with it | 14:44 |
| nox-Hand | Would anyone be so kind as to du -h the newest kernel in /boot for me? Just curious as to it's size, and not inside Ubuntu at the moment | 14:45 |
| barslow | if ur looking for whois | 14:45 |
| barslow | use register.com | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, What webiste did you get the script from... WIne or some different site | 14:45 |
| jrib | kelvin911: it would also be great if you add your error to the troubleshooting section of the wiki page and link to the page with the solution :) | 14:45 |

| terminhell | it hates you :p jk | 14:47 |
| nox-Hand | encryptz: Thanks! Could you say how big the initrd is? | 14:47 |
| barslow | I'm having mouse issues, its jumpy and not accurate, is this a common thing in Ubuntu?? | 14:47 |

| Garren | do i need a firewall and AV for the latest ubuntu ? | 14:48 |
| jrib | Garren: no | 14:48 |
| Garren | cool | 14:48 |
| alastair1 | Can I not set up a simple jail without having another entire system in a directory? Can't I link e.g. /chroot/usr to /usr? | 14:48 |
| terminhell | garren: though not necissary, its always safe practices to use em | 14:48 |
| bullgard4 | I know what pulse-code modulation is. | 14:48 |
| Garren | oh | 14:49 |
| nox-Hand | Garren: Ubuntu has it's own 'firewall' now, and that should shield you against virusses. There are, however, hardly ANY virusses that can hit Ubuntu, as far as I know, NONE | 14:49 |
| barslow | so noone can help with my mouse problems? | 14:49 |
| Lupe5 | hey yall | 14:49 |
| Garren | very good | 14:49 |
| CJS3141 | jack_sparrow: did you catch those URLs I posted? Is that script the correct way to install IE6? | 14:49 |
| barslow | can u get spyware on Ubuntu? | 14:49 |
| terminhell | the biggest threat to ubuntu is the user virus :p | 14:49 |
| Lupe5 | I upgraded to Hardy! | 14:49 |
| Enul | Jirib it returns nothing | 14:49 |
| Garren | hehe | 14:49 |
| barslow | Hardy broke my machine | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | !yay | Lupe5 | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, A quick read shows that they are using a version of wine 8 versions ahead of what you are using.. | 14:50 |
| ubotu | Lupe5: Glad you made it! :-) | 14:50 |
| barslow | what a pain | 14:50 |
| LjL | barslow: not the mainstream kind, but if you do stupid things, yes you can get spied upon | 14:50 |
| LjL | !hardy | barslow, not surprising | 14:50 |
| ubotu | barslow, not surprising: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 14:50 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: what does this do: ln -s /opt/maple9/bin/xmaple /usr/local/bin/xmaple ? | 14:50 |
| nox-Hand | Lupe5: Congratulations! barslow >> #ubuntu+1 for help, but do not EXPECT it, as it's NOT SUPPORTED :) | 14:50 |
| eternal_fizzer | anybody know how I can safely remove firefox without losing gnucash docs, etc, etc | 14:50 |
| barslow | i already removed and re-installed Gutsy | 14:50 |
| barslow | it was a real pain | 14:50 |
| terminhell | ech | 14:51 |
| CJS3141 | jack_sparrow: it says in the script it is for 0.9.48... am I missing something? | 14:51 |
| nox-Hand | Now you know what Beta means barslow | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, If you ask in winehq, they will probably tell you to install the latest version of wine before you try to install ie6 | 14:51 |
| nox-Hand | :) | 14:51 |
| Lupe5 | no, no. I dont need help, im here to help. I've had a lot of experince with 7.10, so i can help here too. | 14:51 |
| barslow | but now I have mouse issues in gutsy | 14:51 |
| robotjox | I'm having a real hard time using dual screens with ubuntu. The secondary screen is much too bright | 14:51 |
| barslow | i don't know why but my mouse is super jumpy | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, look at the first link you gave me. | 14:51 |
| Toznoshio | eternal_fizzer: do it the old-fashioned way | 14:51 |
| jrib | kelvin911: just lets you run xmaple by typing 'xmaple' and pressing enter in a terminal. It assumes you installed maple to /opt/maple9 of course | 14:51 |
| Lupe5 | but thanks for that channel! I might go there for help. | 14:51 |
| terminhell | barslow: make sure your acceleration settings are correct | 14:52 |
| robotjox | when I click nvidia-settings the screen turns the right brightness for a second and then goes back too being much too bright | 14:52 |
| CJS3141 | jack_sparrow: OK, I have 0.9.48 installed because that's the current one in Synaptic. Should I upgrade manually to the newer one? | 14:52 |
| eternal_fizzer | Toznoshio: like find the directory and delete it? I think that may be why I was in trouble in first place after trying the old-fashioned way with java last week :( | 14:52 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: my /opt/maple is empty | 14:52 |
| barslow | terminhell: what are the optimal accelaration settings? | 14:52 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: should i delete it? | 14:52 |
| terminhell | barslow: ones that dont make your mouse jumpy...just lower them | 14:53 |
| jrib | kelvin911: because you installed it to your HOME remember? Sure you can delete it since you did not use it | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CJS3141, I personally wont use or recommend wine... someone else should be able to help you... the best help is in winehq.. even if it is a bit slow | 14:53 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: what about opt directory? | 14:53 |
| eternal_fizzer | Toznoshio: is it only one folder for sure? | 14:53 |
| barslow | terminhell: I've tried tons of different settings, nothing seems to work correctly | 14:53 |
| Lupe5 | robotjox: Can you change the brightness on your monitor..... | 14:53 |
| jrib | kelvin911: you can leave it, you might want to use it for some other thing you install later | 14:53 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: what is /opt/? | 14:54 |
| CJS3141 | jack_sparrow: OK fair enough! Thanks for all the help. | 14:54 |
| gilster32 | i was wandering if people are experiencing issues with network manager? My wireless gets disconnected randomly... | 14:54 |
| Toznoshio | eternal_fizzer: pastebin the output of "locate firefox" | 14:54 |
| Auroch | Would someone be able to help me install irssi please? None of the usual methods are working for me. | 14:54 |
| terminhell | barslow perhaps its the mouse itself. is it optical? make sure its on a non reflective surface. if its the old kind, you may need to clean the ball and rollers | 14:54 |
| Lupe5 | gilster32: Do you have a dell? | 14:54 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: sudo rmdir maple9 ? | 14:54 |
| eternal_fizzer | Toznoshio: it was pages of stuff - what is pastebin? | 14:54 |
| gilster32 | lupe5:nope toshiba.atheros wifi card | 14:55 |
| terminhell | gilster32: do you have "roaming" enalbed? | 14:55 |
| Toznoshio | paste | eternal_fizzer | 14:55 |
| Toznoshio | !paste | eternal_fizzer | 14:55 |
| ubotu | eternal_fizzer: 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) | 14:55 |
| Lupe5 | gilster32: Never had experince with it.... | 14:55 |
| CJS3141 | jrib: In the future, how can I tell easily if my file has been saved in windows and has different end-of-line characters? It doesn't seem to show up when I "more" it or "gedit" it. | 14:55 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: why didnt i install maple in /usr/local/bin/ ?? | 14:55 |
| eternal_fizzer | ubotu - thx but no browser, so can't go there | 14:55 |
| jrib | CJS3141: I would use vim and do ":set list". I don't know of a better way | 14:55 |
| terminhell | auroch: have you tried from terminal "sudo apt-get install irssi" ? | 14:56 |
| jrib | kelvin911: because you chose to install it to your HOME, there's nothing wrong with that | 14:56 |
| robotjox | Lupe5: yeah, but that's not the problem - I can change the brightness alright, but this is some sort of nvidia-related problem I think - it's more a case of the alpha channel being set all wrong and whenever I reboot the problem comes again | 14:56 |
| Lupe5 | eternal_fizzer: use firefox | 14:56 |
| kelvin911 | jrib: why install in somewhere else then make link to /usr/local/bin? | 14:56 |
| eternal_fizzer | Lupe5: I'd love too - that's what I'm trying to fix! | 14:56 |
| jrib | kelvin911: because you don't need to be root to install to your HOME | 14:56 |
| Lupe5 | robotjox: I dont know anything about Nivada | 14:56 |
| gilster32 | terminhell: should roaming be turned off? | 14:57 |
| Auroch | terminhell: That and a few other things but I don't think apt-get is working. "Couldn't find package.. etc." | 14:57 |
| eternal_fizzer | Toznoshio: is there someother gadget I can use to transmit that info to you? since I don't have a browser, I'm stuck | 14:58 |
| Lupe5 | eternal_fizzer: go to the applcation menu, choose add/remove programs, in the search box type "Konqueror" and install it. That's the KDE web browser, but it will work. | 14:58 |
| terminhell | Auroch: make sure the other repositories are enabled and reload. | 14:58 |
| _boto | hi all | 14:58 |
| robotjox | someone here have any experience with setting up a nvidia card using dual screens? My no. 2 screen is far too bright | 14:58 |

| terminhell | stevesmal1: it depends on the program...if there is a pre-amp then perhaps | 15:35 |

| hunter | pls | 16:02 |
| hunter | i use ubuntu 7 10 | 16:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eternal_fizzer, not sure what is going on.. what is the exact comman you are pasteing into the term | 16:02 |
| eternal_fizzer | Jack_Sparrow, the whole long thing you gave me - but isn't that just to install pastebin? | 16:02 |

| deedisconnect | im trying to figure out how to install this driver for my sound card | 16:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eternal_fizzer, that command does three things... installs pastebinit.. gets fdisk -l output and appends that to fstab... you are only installing pastebinit.. not the full command I gave you | 16:03 |

| eternal_fizzer | Jack_Sparrow, fyi - http://paste.stgraber.org/2157 is full display, start to finish, which includes | pastebinit - just doesn't seem to run | 16:04 |
| archman | DRebellion: tnx! | 16:05 |
| DRebellion | archman, to edit it permanently you have to put it in ~/.bashrc | 16:05 |
| erUSUL | appz: do you fell that being prompted is more secure? becouse if someone has acces to your fetchmail rc file you are already esc***ed and not having your mail password on there will not change anything ;) | 16:05 |
| appz | good i found out , erUSUL, i just deleted the with password "xxx" | 16:06 |

| azexian | there are over 1000 people in this channel, someone must know! all I need is, 'yes that's correct', or 'no, not quite, this is how it works' when I convert a movie to vob with devede, the default is to change the bitrate to 5000, should I change that to the files original bitrate, or will the quality be different if I do this? | 16:32 |

| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: probably not, but whats your question | 16:34 |

| genii | azexian: If you resample 900 to 5000 it will be at 5000 but just sound like 900 still | 16:35 |
| FancyL | IndyGunFreak: thanks. I'm brand new to linux as a whole and would like to know the main difference between the different editions (kubuntu, xubuntu, and ubuntu). gobuntu said it in plain english on their front page, and I can assume what edubuntu is. | 16:35 |
| nonewmsgs | hacked``: dvb? | 16:35 |
| azexian | genii: this is the video, not the audio, is that what you meant still? | 16:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: main difference, in all of them, is the GUI they use. | 16:36 |
| zackyramone | hi guys, i got a problem: i have an mp3 which i use as a flash disk, but after having ubuntu reinstalled nautilus says that it is read-only. | 16:36 |
| astro76 | azexian: you can't compare bitrates of different codecs, the dvd uses mpeg2, your avi is probably xvid/divx | 16:36 |
| d_rwin | hi | 16:36 |
| reaktae | zackyramone: chmod? | 16:36 |
| FancyL | IndyGunFreak: is one version lighter than another? I'm looking to install on an old laptop. | 16:36 |
| astro76 | azexian: so as typical with video encoding, you'll have to experiment | 16:36 |
| nonewmsgs | FancyL: xubuntu, kubuntu and ubuntu use different guis gobuntu only uses fully free (no mp3s or dvd) stuff edubuntu comes with educational software | 16:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: they'lll al do pretty much the same thing, its how they look while doin it, Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu uses Xfce. | 16:37 |
| zackyramone | reaktae: how do i use that? | 16:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: whast the sysstem specs on it? | 16:37 |
| azexian | astro76: so I can't just leave it on the original bitrate, it has to be changed? | 16:37 |
| nonewmsgs | FancyL: if you dont know what windows manager you can install al of them with apt-get install (normal installation method) once you install any | 16:37 |
| FancyL | IndyGunFreak: not sure, but it's running win98 | 16:37 |
| nael | zackyramone, try right clicking the disk and go to properties and edit the permissions | 16:37 |
| reaktae | zackyramone: as in user priviledges.. are you familiar with sudo commands? | 16:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: well, a good place to start, is to know how much ram it is. | 16:37 |
| FancyL | IndyGunFreak: I think 128 | 16:37 |
| zackyramone | reaktae: no not really... | 16:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: ok, w/ 128mb, you'll probably want to use Xubuntu. | 16:38 |
| astro76 | azexian: 5000 sounds like a reasonable bitrate for a dvd... but you can make it higher if it will still fit on the dvd | 16:38 |
| nonewmsgs | FancyL: i would look towards damn small linux | 16:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: you might even consider a straight debian install... | 16:38 |
| FancyL | IndyGunFreak: will xubuntu run smoothly? or is D.S.L. more up my alley? | 16:38 |
| azexian | astro76: I'm a little low on space at the moments, it's only an avi, shouldn't 2500 be suitable, considering it was 900 originaly? | 16:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | nonewmsgs: ?... DSL? 128m,b will definitely run numerous "larger" distros. | 16:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: i think Xubuntu will run fine. | 16:39 |
| astro76 | azexian: as I said, it's apples and oranges | 16:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: its system requirements only call for 64mb if I recall. | 16:39 |
| astro76 | azexian: that's the encoded bitrate | 16:39 |
| FancyL | IndyGunFreak: straight debian sounds a lot more complicated than a live cd | 16:39 |
| reaktae | zackyramone: just try the right click then. go to properties and then permisions.... what sys are you on? | 16:39 |
| azexian | astro76: hmm... ok, I guess you're right, I will have to experiment, thanks =) | 16:39 |
| nael | FancyL, I got DSL working on 32mb | 16:39 |
| davmonster | I like openbox | 16:39 |
| zackyramone | reaktae: that wont work....im on ubuntu 7.10 | 16:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | FancyL: no, not at all.. i mean its a text based installer.. but w/ only 128mb of Ram, you may have to use a text based installer anyways, even w/ ubuntu | 16:40 |
| W8TAH | whats the channel for compiz/beryl on ubuntu? | 16:40 |

| jester7 | does using KDE based apps in gnome impact performance, or is it purely an aesthetics thing? | 17:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stroganoff, move home to usb or another partition then reinstall or use gparted | 17:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jester7, minimal performance hit | 17:50 |
| Stroganoff | Jack_Sparrow: thats redundant :p | 17:50 |
| Tortured | jester7, i dont notice a difference, aside from having to have all the kde libs installed to run the apps, so some hd space | 17:50 |
| amenado | geekphreak-> i stepped out for a while, you have the /home mounted? the /Documents you were referring to is not under /home, if / was formatted during your install, then /Documents will not exist anymore | 17:51 |
| unop | Stroganoff, you need to do it offline, not while the kernel is loaded, because the kernel needs the directories you are deleting, think about it | 17:51 |
| jester7 | i see. i wanted to try amarok instead of exaile, but i don't want it to impact performance | 17:51 |

| xtknight | Nith, keep in mind this command may delete the insides of complete directories that match asdf as well. so as is with every script i'd backup the files beforehand. execute this in the root dir where you want to begin recursion. "find * | grep asdf | xargs -l1 rm" | 18:10 |

| Zn3t060 | jack_sparrow: im using the live cd for unbuntu 7.04 | 18:10 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Zn3t060, recovery mode is not using the livecd.. | 18:10 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, log in at your own account (that has sudo permissions) and then execute this one ---> sudo passwd -l root | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Zn3t060, boot your hard drive install in recovery mode... hit escape if needed to get grub prompt | 18:11 |
| nonix4 | lux: try the following, key combinations, one at time and wait a bit after each to see if it helps: ctrl-alt-backspace (kill X), alt-sysrq-k (kill everything on current console), alt-sysrq-s (sync aka save data), alt-sysrq-u (unmount), alt-sysrq-b (reboot) | 18:11 |

| JarG0n | My USB Thumbdrive, for some reason, has root as the owner. Even if I login as root via sudo -i, I can use chgrp or chown to change ownership/group. I keep getting "chgrp: changing group of `/media/USBThumbDrive': Operation not permitted" | 18:12 |

| * Nith officially does not like ms | 18:13 | |
| JarG0n | I can't | 18:13 |
| RandoCal | you can't see the text box or any other prompts on the screen though, you have to "feel around" for the text box by watching your cursor and then click and login | 18:13 |
| bazhang | Zn3t060: this is ubuntu or ubuntu-based? | 18:13 |

| iositd | Zn3t060, did you see my post? It gave you the answer, no matter how screwed up your system is | 18:21 |
| lux | something is very wrong with my pciture :S its moving ....half of my files/programs are out of picture so i have to move my mouse to se the other side of dekstop (files,programs) please help someone ! | 18:21 |
| bazhang | sounds like his system is irretrievably lost | 18:21 |
| iositd | amenado, i know (hey i typed it correctly) | 18:21 |
| iositd | lux, try to reboot .. | 18:21 |
| lux | i jsut did it | 18:21 |
| iositd | do it again .. | 18:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that actually sounds like a glitch with compiz maybe | 18:21 |
| Zn3t060 | i have got the live cd loaded and have given myself root access onto the filesystem and into the etc | 18:22 |
| lux | my pc got stuck for no reason i made reboot and now everything is messed | 18:22 |
| iositd | if you had a lot of trouble, a double reboot usually helps a lot ... | 18:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nothing happens for no reason | 18:22 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, you did see my post ... confirm? | 18:22 |
| enby | k, i moved everything from updates to another dir, and now adept starts... hopefully i didn't break smth else by doingthat | 18:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and iositd, this isn't windows, rebooting is never the first option. | 18:22 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> is this /etc of your liveCD or the installed linux on the hard disk? | 18:22 |
| bazhang | did you see my post? cancel/allow | 18:22 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd, yes but parts didnt make sense | 18:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lux, is this a regular hard drive install or one of the vm or wubi versions of an install | 18:22 |
| lux | :D i was watching 1 video on youtube and i was chatting here :D... so it happened for no reason | 18:22 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, it makes perfect sense. Perhaps you didn't understand, in which case i'm willing to explain. | 18:22 |
| Zn3t060 | amenado: etc of the installed os | 18:23 |
| nonix4 | lux: video on youtube can certainly leak memory... | 18:23 |
| iositd | Daisuke_Ido, it never is. But he had so much trouble he had to reboot. And in that case, i suggest to do a double reboot. | 18:23 |
| nonix4 | lux: better set up ulimit to kill the processes which leak memory | 18:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hrmm | 18:23 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> okay what is the mount point you used to mount that partition? so i can tell you exact command | 18:23 |
| lux | set up What? | 18:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | fair enough | 18:23 |
| jpatrick | manuel__: /join #ubuntu-es | 18:23 |
| taveira | Algum BR ? | 18:23 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd: can you please explain, i have mounted the installed os using the live cd.. | 18:23 |
| manuel__ | #ubuntu-es | 18:23 |
| taveira | ALGUM BR ? | 18:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !br | 18:24 |
| ubotu | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 18:24 |
| Zn3t060 | amenado: it mounted it when i went into the filesytem using the gui | 18:24 |
| bazhang | taveira: /j #ubuntu-br | 18:24 |
| iositd | amenado, i'll give him a hands on guide for it ... (let's not make it even more difficult) | 18:24 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, ok. Then chroot into the new enviroment. | 18:24 |
| amenado | iositd i let you finish it then..am off.. | 18:24 |
| nonix4 | lux: how much memory do you have in that 'puter? and how much swap? | 18:24 |
| Zn3t060 | isoitd: i think amenado has a better idea | 18:24 |
| bazhang | cya | 18:24 |
| lux | 512 mb if u mean that... | 18:25 |
| porcho | hi there. how can I manually set the configurations I cand set using GNOME's Network Administration Tools? my Ubuntu just freezes when I try to do it through the GUI... | 18:25 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd: you say change root into new environment ??? how do you mean, i am in live cd and the install os is mounted | 18:25 |
| lux | how much memory do i need for linux ubuntu ? | 18:26 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, please type more carefully. I didn't say change root, i said chroot. That's what the command is. "chroot /your/os/ /bin/bash" | 18:26 |
| unop | Zn3t060, here's a good guide that'll help you chroot into your system from a liveCD http://gentoo-wiki.com/Chroot_from_a_livecd | 18:26 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd: so in live cd as root: i use the chroot command | 18:26 |
| lux | hello? is anyone helping me? :D | 18:27 |
| unop | Zn3t060, yes, but you need to ensure all your filesystems are mounted properly before using the chroot command | 18:27 |
| amenado | lux hard disk memory, minimum for install is 2.5 gig | 18:27 |
| nonix4 | lux: lol :) yeah... ok, let's edit /etc/security/limits.conf | 18:27 |
| Zn3t060 | unop: in the df -kh it comes up as the hard disk being mounted and also it allows me to save the changes to the shadow and passwrd fiel | 18:27 |
| iositd | unop, chroot always worked fine for me when needing to change only one users pass... which is what i'm going to tell him to do ... then he'll have to reboot into normal user mode and then he can drop the root passwd with sudo. | 18:28 |
| nonix4 | lux: you know how to edit them config files? | 18:28 |
| lux | hard disk memory is 2.8 gig, other memory is 512 mb | 18:28 |
| funkster1 | OK, still a no go after emptying caches, deactivating temporarily 'CookieSafe', 'Adblock+', restarting FF2, resetting forum/CP settings to defaults etc. I can't post/answer a thread, can't acces attachements, although I'm clearly logged in. and I'm a member since May 2007. The message I get is: "you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privil | 18:28 |
| lux | no ...i got ubuntu like 1 day ago | 18:28 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, now use the passwd yourusername to change the password of the normal user you use. | 18:28 |
| lux | im totally new for this kind of stuff | 18:28 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, that way you can use sudo on the normal user again and won't have trouble on that. | 18:28 |
| Zn3t060 | but i will only be changing that into the live cd enviroment | 18:29 |
| lux | dam*...hard to see what u writing cause i dont see half of my desktop | 18:29 |
| Finnish | Anyone using Sitecom WL-112 WLAN-card? | 18:29 |
| nonix4 | lux: gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf | 18:29 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, no, because you chroot'd into the new env, you can now change the user of your real installation. | 18:29 |
| Zn3t060 | im lost | 18:29 |
| lux | w8 ill try | 18:29 |
| unop | Zn3t060, the shadow and passwd files you see in the liveCD are not the ones that belong to your system -- you need to chroot first before you see them | 18:29 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, what was the last command you typed? | 18:29 |
| Zn3t060 | so im in the live cd right | 18:29 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd: the last one is su | 18:30 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd: to get my self into the root | 18:30 |
| amenado | funkster1-> try logging out and restarting firefox? | 18:30 |
| funkster1 | amenado: did thta already, but will try again | 18:30 |
| iositd | Zn3t060, you don't have to become root. CHROOT means you enter a new env, the one that you just mounted. For example in my case i'd type "chroot /media/sda5 /bin/bash" to get into my real env instead of the live cd. | 18:30 |
| unop | iositd, you need to be root to chroot | 18:31 |
| iositd | unop, ubuntu way --> use sudo | 18:31 |
| francisco | htt | 18:31 |
| unop | iositd, and sudo gives you root .. | 18:31 |
| lux | nonix4, i wrote gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf it opened some kind a window...what now? | 18:32 |
| iositd | unop, he used su to go root, instead of sudo to use root | 18:32 |
| unop | iositd, it doesnt make a real difference | 18:32 |
| Zn3t060 | iositd: ok so ill do that , so my mount point is .. /mount/disk...so will i do ..chroot | 18:32 |
| techqbert | ok so I have restarted X like 12 times in the last 24 hours. how do I stop X from restarting when I hit any of the combination of keys, (shift+backspace) (alt+shift+backspace)? | 18:32 |
| iositd | unop, reason i'm telling that now, is because he'll have to remove the root passwd so in the future he can just use recovery mode ... and | 18:32 |
| iositd | * - and | 18:33 |
| unop | Zn3t060, it depends on how many partitions you have on the hdd? you have to have atleast /etc/ mounted right | 18:33 |
| EdwardXp3 | what are the maintenance linux commands for me to deploy for linux? | 18:33 |
| Zn3t060 | unop: all i have mounted is /media/disk | 18:33 |
| EdwardXp3 | like indexing, disk fragments... | 18:33 |
| lux | :nonix4 hello.... what now? | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | techqbert, not enough info... when did the problem start, have you installed/compiled much from source or outside repos etc | 18:33 |
| Zn3t060 | unop: which is my installed os | 18:33 |
| unop | Zn3t060, how many partitions did you setup when installing ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| IjessI | hello. Can I choose where to install the bootloader during the install using the live-cd iso? | 18:33 |
| IjessI | or do I need to use the alternate iso? | 18:34 |
| unop | Zn3t060, if you only had that one partition .. you can just do. chroot /media/disk | 18:34 |
| amenado | ljessl yes you can use liveCd | 18:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IjessI, it lets you choose | 18:34 |
| techqbert | Jack_Sparrow: 8.04 beta installed by repos. The update broke my gnome-settings-manager so I installed fluxbox. Everything works swell except I close X like every 2 hours | 18:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !hardy > techqbert | 18:34 |
| lux | can anyone help me????.... how to fix my ubuntu?? | 18:34 |
| Zn3t060 | unop: the only parition mounted in live cd is , /media/disk..............so would i do chroot /media/disk.... then ??? | 18:35 |
| techqbert | Jack_Sparrow: do you want me to comment on #ubuntu-devel? | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lux, the amount of space you have on your hard drive for ubuntu is marginal at est.. | 18:35 |
| nonix4 | lux: well the next step is somehow figuring out which of them maps to ulimit -v ... | 18:35 |
| IjessI | Jack_Sparrow, so it want destroy my mbr or the grub I already have? | 18:35 |
| unop | Zn3t060, if that command worked ok, you should just do -- passwd <user> | 18:35 |
| unop | Zn3t060, replacing <user> with the user whose password you need to change | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | techqbert, just pointing you to the correct room for hardy... | 18:36 |
| JBuckley | is there any way to install a .msi file on ubuntu? | 18:36 |
| jhonijim | how do i get a drive to not be readonly i am the owner and i have create deleat permision but if i go to create a folder on it it comes up with an error that says the disk is read only | 18:36 |
| FND | Meld question: I'm trying to pipe a svn/git-diff into Meld, but that doesn't seem to work - how can I compare to revisions from a SVN or Git repo? | 18:36 |
| Zn3t060 | right im going to try and do that | 18:36 |
| unop | Zn3t060, you should also do this - passwd -l root | 18:36 |
| === iositd is now known as hischild | ||
| Daisuke_Ido | JBuckley, you can use wine, however it's best to find native software to reduce the dependency on windows. | 18:36 |
| amenado | jhonijim-> mount the partition read+write | 18:36 |
| unop | Zn3t060, that disables root, so that in future sessions you dont have a problem stepping into recovery mode | 18:37 |
| lux | somekind limits.conf(/etc/secuirity)-gedit window is now open what i should do next? =) | 18:37 |
| Zn3t060 | unop: so i will still have to go into recovery mode | 18:37 |
| pirata | did someone changed the distributor logo sucessfully under gusty? | 18:37 |
| === FFEMTcJ_ is now known as FFEMTcJ | ||
| JBuckley | it's an app from logmein.com - I use it to remote onto various computers, any alternative suggestions..? | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pirata, it is intentionally tucked away... | 18:37 |
| unop | Zn3t060, no, this time, the live CD should be enough, you can reboot into normal mode once you finished here | 18:37 |
| Zn3t060 | so can i get all the commands so i can go and try...... | 18:38 |
| politik | JBuckley: vnc | 18:38 |
| sourcemaker | how can I mount an encrypted file system? | 18:38 |
| amenado | JBuckley-> .msi is microsoft stuff not executable within linux | 18:38 |
| Zn3t060 | chroot /media/disk .... passwd <user> ... | 18:38 |
| Zn3t060 | anything else | 18:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | amenado, shouldn't lie to him | 18:38 |
| unop | Zn3t060, also - passwd -l root | 18:38 |
| nonix4 | lux: write "whoami" in a terminal... or just your user name etc into that limits file like: "lux hard rss 384000" (and yes, the number is a random guess on my part:) | 18:38 |
| amenado | Daisuke_Ido-> what? you can try to execute an .msi file? were you successful? please explain | 18:39 |
| politik | JBuckley: also there is a Remote Desktop client in linux, so you can connect to windows machines | 18:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | amenado, you have to use the ms installer to do it | 18:39 |
| JBuckley | Ok - I'll check that out. Thanks for the help! | 18:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Daisuke_Ido, it isnt executeable form linux, only wine or some other tool | 18:39 |
| zelrikriando | eh what s the command line to start the chess game? | 18:39 |

| lux | u said write "whoami" to terminal | 18:44 |
| bazhang | spsneo: then be patient; that is the channel for it | 18:44 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !hardy | 18:45 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 18:45 |
| lux | lux hard as 450000 that number really can be random ? | 18:45 |
| nonix4 | lux: umm, "whoami" command in your terminal should just tell your user name, the one you used to kog on :) | 18:45 |
| unop | alecs, #ubuntu+1 please | 18:45 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 alecs | 18:45 |
| unop | nonix4, you didnt tell him to press <enter> :) | 18:45 |
| kb1cvh | zelrik - what' the problem - what card do you have? | 18:45 |
| lux | command "whoami" dont do anything .....lol :S :D | 18:45 |
| nonix4 | lux: that's address space limit, ie no program should use over 450 megabytes | 18:46 |
| bazhang | lux type whoami then hit enter | 18:46 |
| unop | lux, this does the same -- echo $USER <enter> | 18:46 |
| lux | i did it | 18:46 |
| lux | "whoami" and enter | 18:46 |
| lux | now what | 18:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > lux | 18:46 |
| zelrikriando | kb1cvh: I have an Intel 945 GM, the 3D mode of glchess is having display issues, and I cant manage to make other 3D games (on wine) work properly | 18:46 |

| h4L1m | anyone who knows the vu meter for xmms?? | 18:47 |
| lux | my name :D | 18:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | SpudDogg, is it legally wrong? no. is it ethically wrong? youbetcha. ShipIt is the preferred method of shipping CDs, and that is free. | 18:47 |
| kb1cvh | zelricriando - are you using compiz ? | 18:47 |
| zelrikriando | kb1cvh: yeah | 18:47 |
| unop | lux, ok, that's what you have to put in the limits file like nonix said .. that name exactly | 18:47 |
| lux | ok | 18:48 |
| SpudDogg | Daisuke_Ido: I'm just surprised that the powers-at-be can't do anything about stuff like that. I know it's not illegal, but still. | 18:48 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> resolved yet? | 18:48 |
| lux | i have tryed everything u said but nothing happens | 18:48 |
| bazhang | zelrikriando: 3d on wine with that card may not be an option | 18:49 |
| unop | lux, address the person you are talking to so they know :) | 18:49 |
| zelrikriando | kb1cvh: desactivating compiz fixes the chess game | 18:49 |
| lux | unop, ok ok :D sorry | 18:49 |
| unop | lux, so who were you talking to then? :) | 18:50 |
| zelrikriando | bazhang: it is with several games | 18:50 |
| lux | so lets start at the beginning....... | 18:50 |
| JustJaden | I am attempting to delete a swap file, but it tells me I don't have the proper permissions. How do I fix this? | 18:50 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, 945GM and 3d in wine is a hit and miss when running compiz. Probably has something to do with its shared memory. And you should run in 24bit colours instead of 16bit. | 18:50 |
| Daisuke_Ido | compiz + opengl games != happiness | 18:50 |
| amenado | JustJaden-> are you currently using such swap file? | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JustJaden, are you turning swapoff first? | 18:51 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: how to set those colors? | 18:51 |
| lux | who could tell me how to fix my ubuntu .......? | 18:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i definitely recommend turning OFF desktop effects before playing gl games in wine or otherwise | 18:51 |
| lux | :unop could u help? | 18:52 |
| ffm | If I answer a "incomplete" bug with more info in LP, can I move it back to "new"? | 18:52 |
| JustJaden | I was trying to blacklist my wireless card driver, and for some odd reason, i have like 3 copies of the same edit file. Not sure how I managed that, but I'd like to get rid of copies. | 18:52 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, Max Payne works for me but not Half Life for example. Turning off Compiz solves it for me. You set "DefaultDepth 24" in xorg.conf but maybe there | 18:52 |
| Jowi | 's an easier way. | 18:52 |
| Zn3t060 | anyway i have tried the suggested and it didnt work as it said i didnt have permissions when i went to try the chroot command | 18:52 |
| unop | lux, nonix4 seemed to have guided you through most this, he probably knows exactly what to do next .. ask him | 18:52 |
| unop | Zn3t060, you need to be root when you chroot -- use the command -- sudo chroot /media/disk | 18:53 |
| lux | unop how to do that red text? | 18:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nonix4, See how much free space he has on that drive and how big of a swap he has on there. | 18:53 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: my DefaultDepth is already at 24 | 18:53 |
| unop | lux, what red text? | 18:53 |
| Zn3t060 | unop: i was root | 18:53 |
| TuM4 | hi to all | 18:53 |
| Zn3t060 | i changed to root using the su command | 18:53 |
| JustJaden | I was trying to blacklist my wireless card driver, and for some odd reason, i have like 3 copies of the same edit file. Not sure how I managed that, but I'd like to get rid of copies. | 18:54 |
| unop | Zn3t060, was your partition really mounted under /media/disk ??? | 18:54 |
| Zn3t060 | yes, i doubled checked | 18:54 |
| bendele | http://irc.dslextreme.com/ | 18:54 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, then there's not really a solution to be had for you (yet). Wine is constantly improving though and so is Compiz. | 18:54 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> are you ready to try my way? | 18:54 |
| lux | if anyone writing like example " lux, text..." then i see it red? right? | 18:54 |
| Zn3t060 | amenado: sure am | 18:54 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> okay again boot from liveCD | 18:54 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: you want to look at my xorg.conf ...in case you see something wrong? | 18:54 |
| Zn3t060 | amenado: yes sill there | 18:55 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, if you're running compiz it's ok. | 18:55 |
| JustJaden | I am trying to follow this walkthrough to get my wireless card recognized, but I hit a brick every step of the way. Is there a better way to get that done? | 18:55 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> in a terminal fdisk -l and tell me which partition in the hard disk is the / ? | 18:55 |
| SisyphusINC | does anyone know how to transcode the reg file for photoshop i expoted it from windows but i keep getting the following Untranslatable input in step `ISO-10646-UCS-2..ANSI_X3.4-1968'" any ideas? | 18:56 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: I noticed I have just one mode for the screen res...is that an issue? | 18:56 |
| lux | nonix, could u help me with my problem? lets start at the beginning | 18:56 |
| unop | lux, all you have to do is say the persons name :) | 18:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zelrikriando, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 18:57 |
| lux | ok now i know :D | 18:57 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, are you running wine fullscreen or windowed? | 18:57 |
| lux | nonix4 answer me :/ | 18:57 |
| nonix4 | lux: you have only that one user account on the 'puter? I mean I don't want to lock you out if you type something wrong by accident :) | 18:57 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> found it yet ? | 18:57 |
| shufflecard | SisyphusINC, what program are you trying to read the file with? | 18:57 |
| lux | nonix4 yes only 1 | 18:57 |
| YosemiteSam | !sources | 18:57 |

| Zn3t060 | amenado: just did it, it says i got 3 disks. sda1 sda2 and also 5 | 18:57 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi Full Screen | 18:58 |
| azuki | is there a iso-making program in linux? | 18:58 |
| Zn3t060 | amendo: when you say slash how do you mena, the sda5 has a /solaris | 18:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | azuki, dd command will do it.. | 18:58 |
| unop | azuki, yes, it's called dd | 18:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | azuki: i'm pretty sure there's a couple | 18:58 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, and do the games display or do you get a black screen? | 18:58 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> okay on a terminal can you try sudo -s and you should get a root shell | 18:58 |
| azuki | thanks!!!! | 18:58 |
| novato_br | is there some software similar with shrink ? | 18:58 |
| zelrikriando | http://paste.stgraber.org/2159 | 18:58 |
| Zn3t060 | ok | 18:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | novato_br, k9copy | 18:59 |
| Zn3t060 | ok | 18:59 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: black screen+window killed right away | 18:59 |
| novato_br | Jack_Sparrow, i'm trying to make copies But I can't | 18:59 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> okay then type mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 18:59 |
| Zn3t060 | ok | 18:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | novato_br: is shrink a dvd ripping tool? | 18:59 |
| Zn3t060 | yes | 18:59 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> ls -la /mnt and I expect to see /etc/ | 18:59 |
| marx2k | Isnt there an ncurses based newsgroup binary downloader like KLibido but for the shell? | 18:59 |
| novato_br | yeah, IndyGunFreak | 19:00 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, then it's probably best to add at least "1024x768" "800x600" and "640x480" to xorg.conf | 19:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | novato_br: acidrip is good.. | 19:00 |
| novato_br | shrink is a dvd ripping tool | 19:00 |
| Zn3t060 | your talking about mounting it but its already mounted | 19:00 |
| novato_br | okay, IndyGunFreak | 19:00 |
| novato_br | I'll try it | 19:00 |
| lux | nonix4 so will u help me or not :/ | 19:00 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nntp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:00 |
| bosanac | how to delete it? | 19:00 |
| amenado | Zn3t060-> how did it got mounted? and where? | 19:00 |
| nonix4 | lux: well, trying to figure what the exact problem was... I think it may have been something else than running out of memory | 19:01 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: how is the synthax like in the xorg.conf? | 19:01 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" | 19:01 |

| unop | !repeat | bosanac | 19:01 |
| ubotu | bosanac: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 19:01 |
| zelrikriando | Jowi: then I restart? | 19:01 |
| lux | nonix4 maybe 512memory isnt enough? | 19:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bosanac, please do not repeat.... and dont install things from people you dont trust | 19:01 |
| Jowi | zelrikriando, ctrl-alt-backspace should be enough | 19:01 |
| nonix4 | lux: well it needs some configuration to work right with some programs, that is for sure... | 19:02 |
| azuki | Jack_Sparrow: DD... where is it? | 19:02 |
| EZR | hi | 19:02 |
| marx2k | Isnt there an ncurses based newsgroup binary downloader like KLibido but for the shell? | 19:02 |
| lux | nonix4 ....well . whhere should i begin? picture is totaly messed up | 19:03 |
| bosanac | Jack_Sparrow: ok sorry, what to do now ? | 19:03 |
| bosanac | Jack_Sparrow: they can controll my PC :S | 19:03 |
| Jowi | bosanac, in a terminal type: ps -A | grep -i mocks | 19:03 |
| hischild | bosanac: kill mocks and close up your firewall, check for new users and remove unknown ones, change your password and remove the root pass. | 19:03 |
| nonix4 | lux: ... you should save those changes to limits.conf and test them - safe testing method would be "sudo su - yournamehere ulimit -a" | 19:03 |
| azuki | unop: you there? | 19:03 |
| Double | anyone know max carte? | 19:03 |
| unop | azuki, yes | 19:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | azuki, Create ISO of CD Rom... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/YourUserName/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k in terminal | 19:03 |
| bosanac | Jowi: bosanac@security:~$ ps -A | grep -i mocks bosanac@security:~$ | 19:04 |
| azuki | unop: nice to know :) | 19:04 |
| bosanac | Jowi: i got no results when i type " ps -A | grep -i mocks " | 19:04 |
| marx2k | How do I forward an X session via SSH? | 19:04 |
| unop | Jack_Sparrow, 2k ? wow thats tiny -- might result in a really slow read/write op. | 19:04 |
| lux | i didnt get that end... like this ?: ( sudo su lux ilimit) ? | 19:04 |
| Double | does anyone want me to fuck them? | 19:04 |
| unop | azuki, whats happening? | 19:05 |
| nonix4 | lux: err, nvm that testing method doesn't work as-is... | 19:05 |
| Serway | Hello all | 19:05 |
| lux | nonix4 ooh... | 19:05 |
| dgjones | !ops | Double | 19:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | unop, you can bump it up, but 2k works for me.. not that slow | 19:05 |

| azuki | could I make it 4 k or somewthing? | 19:05 |
| nonix4 | lux: not really... just some corner cases take a bit of effort to figure out :) | 19:05 |
| azuki | what would be optimal on a system running it background? | 19:06 |
| ffm | Channel's quite today... | 19:06 |
| zelrikriando | eh how to change the resolution | 19:06 |
| Serway | I have a simple question to ask, when im using compiz, what controlls the opacities of the inactive windows? (im not using emerald) | 19:06 |
| mynyml | is there a way to get the alt key to work in gnome-terminal? | 19:06 |
| unop | azuki, i usually use 512k from CDs .. | 19:06 |
| ompaul | lux, please keep it family friendly, it is not a replacement for other things just an alternative | 19:06 |
| bod_ | hey guys, whats the command to find out the temperature of the machine? | 19:06 |
| ompaul | !resolution | zelrikriando | 19:06 |
| mmm4m5m | QUESTION: what ctrl+z means when I click inside terminal? Previous process become "stopped". How can I kill it? | 19:06 |
| ubotu | zelrikriando: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 19:06 |
| marx2k | Does anyone know how to forward an X session via SSH? | 19:06 |
| nonix4 | lux: does console login work (ctrl-alt-f2)? | 19:06 |
| bosanac | Jowi: please tell me what to do now? | 19:06 |
| bosanac | Jowi: how to delete that? | 19:06 |
| bosanac | a | 19:06 |
| Jowi | bosanac, so run ps -A and look for any apps that you don't recognise | 19:06 |
| hischild | marx2k: you have to enable it in the ssh settings and then connect using ssh -X <host> | 19:07 |
| marx2k | mmm4m5m, ctrl-z sends the current command to the background. You can get back to it by typing 'fg' | 19:07 |
| nonix4 | lux: (use alt-f7 once there to get back to x) | 19:07 |
| unop | marx2k, ssh -X user@othermachine | 19:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zelrikriando, remove lines 108 and 109 and add the res you know your monitor can support on line 118 | 19:07 |
| zicho | how can i mount an iso so that my computer recognizes it as a DVD? | 19:07 |
| ompaul | !lmsensors | bod_ | 19:07 |
| ubotu | bod_: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 19:07 |
| mynyml | mmm4m5m: ctrl-C kills it | 19:07 |
| marx2k | hischild: does that forward the current running X session (with all open apps on it) or does it open up a new session? | 19:07 |
| sjovan | Serway: trailfocus <--- have you even looked at the compiz mannager? | 19:07 |
| sjovan | Serway: the picture of that setting says it all | 19:07 |
| Jowi | zicho, for CD isos you can use "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop name.iso /mountpoint/here" | 19:07 |
| bod_ | ompaul, cheers m8 ;~) | 19:08 |
| hischild | marx2k: it allows you to use GUI apps on command line. It does not forward currently open apps. | 19:08 |
| zicho | Jowi, okay. I will try! | 19:08 |
| hischild | marx2k: for that i suggest you take a look at vnc via ssh tunnels. | 19:08 |
| marx2k | hischild: Ah. What I wanted was to control my upstairs box's X session from my downstairs laptop | 19:08 |
| azuki | :: -> I could use /media/cdrom0 ? | 19:08 |
| Serway | sjovan, wow i have never looked there, and i have used compiz since 2005-6 | 19:08 |
| marx2k | vnc via ssh tunnels. Got it. Will google. Thanks :) | 19:08 |
| unop | marx2k, you could also look into using XDMCP .. it might allow you to connect to existing sessions | 19:08 |
| patrick__ | hey i just downloaded this game "assaultcube" to my desktop.... here is the link... http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=actiongame&filename=AssaultCube_v0.93.tar.bz2&use_mirror=switch .............what do i do after its on my desktop in order to install? | 19:08 |
| azuki | it gives me 0+0 recs in / out 0 bytes copied | 19:08 |
| marx2k | unop? Thanks! | 19:09 |
| azuki | at a splashing 0.0 kb/s! | 19:09 |
| sjovan | Serway: okay.... | 19:09 |
| Jowi | marx2k, x11vnc can export the current session | 19:09 |
| Jowi | !info x11vnc | 19:09 |
| mmm4m5m | marx2k: perfect, fg fix it. 10x (many times I do this mistake and then only restart help :)). I also think it is "send to background", but why process status is "stopped"? I can't use it, I can't terminate it. | 19:09 |
| unop | azuki, well, was /media/cdrom mounted, is there a CD in the tray? | 19:09 |
| azuki | unop: yes | 19:09 |
| zicho | Jowi, that doesnt make it work as a physical DVD. How can i do that? | 19:10 |
| YosemiteSam | how do i find the firewall in ubuntu ? | 19:10 |
| unop | azuki, do you get anything when you ls /media/cdrom ? | 19:10 |
| ompaul | !firewall | YosemiteSam | 19:10 |
| ubotu | YosemiteSam: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 19:10 |
| Serway | sjovan, it seems whatever i change the settings to, it still stays a tad transparent, (im talking about the toolbar) | 19:10 |
| azuki | unop: yes.. | 19:10 |
| azuki | unop: the usual files | 19:10 |
| bod_ | ompaul, acpi -V is the one i was looking for, it cme back as 49.0 degrees,. erm,. is that ood or bad?? | 19:11 |
| Jowi | zicho, what's the difference between a mounted DVD and a mounted .iso file? | 19:11 |
| bod_ | ood=good | 19:11 |
| unop | azuki, actually, your /media/cdrom might not be the mount point for /dev/cdrom .. find out what device was mounted under /media/cdrom using. mount | 19:11 |
| mmm4m5m | marx2k: instead "gedit&", I run "gedit". So, I have 10 open/changed files. How can I send it to background and use both: terminal window and gedit? | 19:11 |
| zicho | Jowi, but where should i mount it to make my computer think its a DVD disc? | 19:11 |
| hischild | bod_: considering i run at 65 +- 3, you're good | 19:11 |
| azuki | unop: found the problem... it worked well.. | 19:11 |
| azuki | unop: thank man!!! | 19:11 |
| unop | azuki, what was the problem? | 19:11 |
| ompaul | bod_, the words hardware dependent please look at your bios for guides ;-) | 19:11 |
| bod_ | hischild, ok cheers ;~) ompaul,. ty | 19:12 |
| JustJaden | how do I quit and not save out of an edit file? | 19:12 |
| azuki | unop: I had a different dos-boot CD in there (tweaking purposes) so when I DD'd it.. it was super fast!!.. :) | 19:12 |
| azuki | was only one floppy worth of data | 19:12 |
| hischild | bod_: yw | 19:12 |
| Jowi | zicho, there are no rules. mount it wherever you want and tell the application you use to use the mount point you created instead of the default one in /media | 19:12 |
| unop | azuki, ok cool | 19:12 |
| bod_ | ;~) | 19:12 |
| patrick__ | i have just downloaded assaultcube to my desktop...how do i install the game itself? extract it or what? | 19:12 |
| zicho | Jowi, okay | 19:12 |
| hischild | patrick__: depends on the format. If you can extract, then do so. It will probably contain a readme file. Read that first. | 19:13 |
| azuki | unop: woops.. | 19:13 |
| azuki | ... it's not | 19:13 |
| unop | mmm4m5m, type gedit and press CTRL+Z (at the terminal) to suspend gedit and return to the shell, press 'bg' and gedit is resumed (in the background) | 19:14 |
| JustJaden | what is the command to quit an edit file? | 19:14 |
| azuki | unop: it's creating a very small iso file on the desktop.. | 19:14 |
| === coldboot|home is now known as coldboot | ||
| azuki | unop: but it's definatly not the CD | 19:15 |
| Jowi | zicho, as an example: I mount an CD/ISO for a win game in ~/winecdrom and set up winecfg to use that dir as a cdrom. now wine will see it and use it as a cdrom. How you set this up depends on the app you use. If it seems impossible you can always burn the image to disc and use it the normal way. | 19:15 |
| patrick__ | hischild i've just extracted, the read me file says "linux users: make sure you have libSDL 1.2, libSDL_image and libSDl_mixer installed" im running gutsty so how do i check that? | 19:15 |
| azuki | unop: I am pretty sure that /cdrom0 is the mount point | 19:15 |
| unop | azuki, make sure you are using the right device in if -- | 19:15 |
| unop | azuki, what is the device that /cdrom0 has mounted? | 19:15 |
| zelrikriando | ok I made some progres | 19:16 |
| azuki | unop: cd-rw drive | 19:16 |
| zelrikriando | the window doesnt crash anymore...but is kinda empty | 19:16 |
| azuki | and it has a CD inside | 19:16 |
| hischild | patrick__: search for those using aptitude ... (use lowercase when searching) ===> aptitude search <packagename> | 19:16 |
| azuki | there is also a link (/media/cdrom) | 19:16 |
| mmm4m5m | unop: perfect, thank a lot. I study it at school long time back. How could I read more about these? "man bg" does not help. Maybe it is bash related? Have to read more about bash? | 19:16 |
| hischild | patrick__: if they are installed, the first letter will be an i. | 19:16 |
| unop | azuki, no, i mean device under /dev .. /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom0, -- find out with mount | 19:16 |
| unop | mmm4m5m, bg is a bash keyword -- you need 'help bg' not 'man bg' | 19:17 |
| azuki | scd0 | 19:17 |
| mmm4m5m | unop: thank you very much, all the best | 19:17 |
| alyxander | hey room | 19:17 |
| lux | i got like 3 restart when i hit CTRL+ALT+F2 | 19:17 |
| azuki | unop: scd0 | 19:17 |
| patrick__ | hischild okay i have them installed, then it says "linux: cd to the main AssaultCube directory and execute Assaultcube.sh" what does this mean? | 19:17 |
| azuki | unop: should I use that? | 19:17 |
| unop | azuki, then you need this -- dd if=/dev/scd0 of= .... :) | 19:18 |
| alyxander | is there default support for 4 gigs of ram in 7.10 | 19:18 |
| archangelpetro | anyone here havbe an NVIDIA 8400 GS? | 19:18 |
| hischild | patrick__: open up a terminal, then type ==> cd <directory of the game> <=== and then type ==> ./Assaultcube.sh <=== | 19:18 |
| azuki | unop: seems to work now.. | 19:18 |
| azuki | unop: thank! | 19:18 |
| kaminix | How do I tell grep or some other text program to only show me character x to character y? | 19:18 |
| unop | kaminix, you want to match characters in the alphabet x-y ... or positions x-y ? | 19:19 |
| patrick__ | hischild, sorry for being a noob, how do i know the directory? | 19:19 |
| archangelpetro | patrick__, pwd? | 19:20 |
| hischild | archangelpetro: no | 19:20 |
| eth01 | dir | 19:20 |
| kaminix | unop: Position x-y | 19:20 |
| hischild | patrick__: the directory you extracted it to. | 19:20 |
| archangelpetro | ah | 19:20 |
| eth01 | ls -s | 19:20 |
| patrick__ | hischild i just extracted to my desktop is all | 19:20 |
| unop | kaminix, you need to use cut for that | 19:20 |
| hischild | patrick__: then it's probably in ~/Desktop/<name of how it's extracted> | 19:20 |
| unop | kaminix, command | cut -c $X-$Y | 19:21 |
| hischild | you can see that name on the Desktop | 19:21 |
| patrick__ | k | 19:21 |
| kaminix | unop: Thanks :) | 19:21 |
| nonix4 | lux: weird... it didn't display "login:" ? Did you try alt-f7 after that? | 19:21 |

| schultza | I cant get mythbuntu to work. | 19:49 |
| sa | Seveas: margins are the same | 19:49 |
| sulema | hello loves | 19:49 |
| destructar | Armada651: can't load that page for some reason... so anyway, i guess the answer to your question is no | 19:49 |
| Seveas | sa, must be the font then (or line spacing) | 19:49 |
| sa | Seveas: everything is the same but only less lines fit per page | 19:49 |
| bod_ | Kles, i would run make with sudo or create the missing directory/file | 19:49 |
| nonix4 | lux: umm, it just doesn't echo it... you wrote it & pressed the enter key? | 19:50 |
| sa | Seveas: line spaceing is 1 in both documents...font is the same (times new roman) | 19:50 |
| Seveas | sa, paper size the same? | 19:50 |

| sa | Seveas: yes, A4 on both, everything is the same | 19:50 |
| schultza | whats the channel for mythbuntu? | 19:50 |
| destructar | Armada651: so i think my boardname is wrong... i was initially using a vesa driver... what should my boardname be set to for nvidia driver? | 19:51 |
| Kles | sudo make doesn't make a difference, and I think the missing file is something I need to build | 19:51 |

| sa | bod_: everything is exactly the same | 19:51 |
| schultza | thanks | 19:51 |

| sa | bod_: how do I change the line spacing? | 19:51 |

| Oasys | I have a noob question, what programing language would I have to learn to edit the ubuntu code? | 19:54 |
| Adys | Oasys: c/c++, mostly | 19:54 |
| dxdt | Oasys: well, lots. It is more than just one language, I would say look into Python + GTK and Mono + GTK | 19:54 |
| simplexio | Oasys: define ubuntu code ? | 19:54 |
| Kles | okay | 19:54 |
| Kles | well, is there any way I could update the synaptic package manager to include certain things? | 19:55 |
| Oasys | simplexio: the operating system | 19:55 |
| mad_max02 | he wants to hack ubuntu code and find Morfius | 19:55 |
| mad_max02 | hes the new NEO | 19:55 |
| brian | I am neo | 19:55 |
| kplaxmaster | Oasys: Ubuntu is just a compilation of C/C++/C# code. Ubuntu then adds mostly shell programming like python to add extra features and more accessible. | 19:55 |
| mad_max02 | lol | 19:55 |
| dxdt | Oasys: still unclear lol. Your desktop apps can be written in Python, Mono, etc. While the kernel is written in C. Deskbar is written in mono for example. So is F-Spot ( I think) | 19:56 |
| Oasys | kplaxmaster: Thanks. | 19:56 |
| simplexio | Oasys: there is no ubuntu operating system, there is ubuntu the linux distro | 19:56 |
| Seveas | kplaxmaster, that's quite a bit of nonsense there | 19:56 |
| LjL | uhm, which *is* an operating system | 19:56 |
| kplaxmaster | Seveas: how so?? | 19:56 |
| simplexio | that is intresting question LjL | 19:56 |
| lux | nonix4 okei i try ctrl,alt,f2 again and then f7 ? | 19:57 |
| brian | OS is a kernel and programs | 19:57 |
| Seveas | kplaxmaster, because there's not a single thing true about that statement | 19:57 |
| brian | Ubuntu is the desktop programs | 19:57 |
| brian | kernel is linux | 19:57 |
| LjL | simplexio: the definition off operating system has been argued long and large, but at least in an informal setting, it's definitely fine to call ubuntu an OS | 19:57 |
| Seveas | dxdt, mono is a vm, not a language, deskbar is written in C# | 19:57 |
| DRebellion | kernel=linux, os=gnu | 19:57 |

| kplaxmaster | Seveas: Ubuntu doesn't make its own programs besides shell programming and maybe Ubufox which again, is a simple plugin lol. they don't create 99% of the applications, they just configure them to work well | 19:57 |
| simplexio | LjL: no | 19:57 |
| brian | Is it not a good idea to just jump into learning c? | 19:58 |
| Seveas | kplaxmaster, again nonsense :) | 19:58 |
| Oasys | I mean what language would I need to learn to add on the Ubuntu for personal use? | 19:58 |
| dxdt | Seveas: I suppose, that is a better way of putting it, but it is slightly different C# as it isn't truly C# yet so I tend to label it by the VM's name, though I see your point | 19:58 |
| DRebellion | brian, that's what i did. its great. | 19:58 |
| devendra_1 | Hi, I would like to know if there is setting for gnome-panel which prevents the resizing of the applications tasklets | 19:58 |
| Seveas | DRebellion, os=ubuntu is more appropriate, ubuntu has much more software than gnu | 19:58 |
| LjL | ok, let's jusst asy thi sis | 19:58 |
| unop_ | brian, if i take the linux kernel modify it so its different from the vanilla kernel, put some program ontop of it and release the product named "ubuntu" .. is ubuntu the operating system or is it just a name? :) | 19:58 |

| DRebellion | Tootbatot, enable remote desktop (system -> prefs -> remote desktop) and use a vnc client to connect | 20:00 |
| amenado | toptyg-> you have to pass it on to the script | 20:00 |

| hexon | Hello. I have a problem with my Nvidia geforce go 7300 card. I tried to update my driver via Envy, but i got an error, so I uninstalled the nvidia_glx drivers that I was using and tried again and go the same error. I reinstalled my old drivers and restarted and got a lot of errors about xserver and it booted in low graphics mode with restricted drivers disabled. I can't get them to reinable so i can use desktop effects anymore!! help please | 20:01 |
| schultza | brian, Virtual functions gave me a headache | 20:01 |
| brian__ | schultza, Wow I am 17 and know neither | 20:02 |
| DRebellion | Tootbatot, depends if you want the full desktop and the ability to connect to an existing login | 20:02 |
| Seveas | hexon, you used envy. You start from scratch | 20:02 |
| ismael | i have a problem with the dependencies | 20:02 |

| nj786_ | hey guys i am trying to watch NCAA MARCH MADNESS ON DEMAND but it is not working can anybody help please? | 20:02 |
| schultza | brian, start with C. Learn the standard (ANSI) version first. | 20:02 |
| hexon | Seveas: I noticed. How can I fix it? | 20:02 |
| Seveas | hexon, by starting from scratch. We do not support envy | 20:02 |

| Tootbatot | DRebellion i want all options | 20:02 |
| schultza | brian, then expand your knowlege. The reason for C is that everything on linux is mostly created with C. | 20:02 |
| eax | Can anyone tell me how to make Conky load 10 seconds after I start my computer? | 20:02 |
| brian__ | schultza, There is another version than standard ansi? | 20:02 |

| Seveas | hexon, reinstall or at least reconfigure X | 20:03 |

| nj786_ | there is something wrong with the flash player online or something else | 20:04 |
| hexon | Seveas: I did reconfigure X, and I'm currently in a good resolution, but if i enable desktop effects again and restart, it gives me an error message | 20:04 |
| trey | you know how in ctrl-alt-delete in windows... so is there a keyboard shortcut to system monitor in linux? | 20:04 |
| DRebellion | Tootbatot, you have two main options: 1) vnc: slower, full desktop, ability to connect to existing session. 2) ssh -X (x-forwarding) faster, must have xserver running on client computer, more tricky to forward entire desktop, better suited for forwarding individual applications. | 20:04 |
| nj786_ | can anybody help please? | 20:04 |
| amenado | toptyg-> put that line in a file with first line being #!/bin/bash | 20:04 |

| Onetb | I have tried in the past. I have never gotten an answer. Here goes. I just installed ubuntu on an old desktop and I have it hooked up to an HD monitor. Only VGA video on the desktop, so I know res will suck, but the screen is push all over to one side (i cannot see part of the applications menu) and the is a flashing bar on the right side | 20:06 |
| brian__ | unop, is K&R the same as the ANSI standard? | 20:06 |
| Seveas | brian__, no | 20:06 |
| Serveck | why cant ubuntu handle multiple audio channels? i have to shut down mp3 player to hear sounds in other programs | 20:06 |
| damian-home | nj786: Ubuntu for Non-geeks is good | 20:06 |

| Serveck | ooh, so i have to wait for the new release? | 20:07 |
| unop_ | brian__, there is an ANSI version to the K&R book, i dont think it is advanced but yea, you might like to have an accompaniment to it -- C for dummies is a good one | 20:07 |
| schultza | It was over discussing kernel development. | 20:07 |
| Tootbatot | DRebellion is there a place i can get more details? | 20:07 |
| toptyg | amenado: do you know how to write script and put some parametrs for it? :) | 20:07 |

| nonix4 | lux: run the memory checker on the cd to see if your ram is faulty - it will take a while so you may prefer to do that before going to sleep... oh, speaking of which, I'll be going to sleep :) | 20:21 |

| Seveas | fismoll8, only if you reinstall, not if you update | 20:21 |
| hischild | dragonphyre, no. I need the one that comes on the repo's by default ... it looks abit like it, yet it's different | 20:22 |
| mad_max02 | alyxander, theres lots in repos but I use homepages of programs if its not in the repo. also look at the forum ubuntuforum | 20:22 |

| dragonphyre | I have an xbox controller that is not in the xpad driver. It is a generic Mad Catz wireless controller. I tested it on a Windows machine, and it works. So all I should have to do is put it's device ID into the xpad.c file. My question: How do I compile the xpad.c file I have into xpad.ko and then get it into the Kernel--without recompiling an entire kernel? | 20:23 |
| Arky44 | I am having trouble connecting to a wireless network on my ubuntu-enabled laptop, but am able to connect through a local ethernet port. Any ideas? | 20:24 |
| ere4si | nj786: I would think it needs either windows media player or realplayer - medibuntu is a repository for codecs that have legal issues in some countries - it is not an os or anything | 20:24 |
| suicidepills | Seveas: ....right....and I need them to work together....right now rTorrent can't seed or download to my NTFS partition | 20:24 |
| tommy | ubuntu-de | 20:24 |
| tommy | how to go to an other channel? | 20:24 |
| Seveas | suicidepills, mount the ntfs partition with appropriate permissions so you can write to it | 20:24 |
| Seveas | !ntfs-3g | suicidepills | 20:24 |
| ubotu | suicidepills: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 20:24 |
| suicidepills | I have ntfs installed and it is working correctly | 20:25 |

| Seveas | brian, a debugger | 20:26 |
| luckylin | Arky44 do you need to install the drivers or have you dont that already? | 20:26 |
| suicidepills | Seveas: I believe that it's a FUSE problem but I didn't know if anyone knew of a workaround | 20:26 |

| suicidepills | simplexio: my partition mounts just fine, but rTorrent specifically can't read or write to it because of an issue with FUSE | 20:27 |
| dragonphyre | arky44: what is the problem? | 20:27 |
| riesenpixel | hello | 20:27 |
| Chipsa964 | Arky44, your wireless isnt working out of box? | 20:27 |
| holymoly | let me rephrase | 20:27 |
| nj786 | ere4si: so shouldi use these codecs? | 20:28 |
| Arky44 | All: it worked when i was running windows, but now doesn't | 20:28 |
| simplexio | suicidepills: dont know about rtorrent.. i have find yet program that dosent know howto read mounted filesystem | 20:28 |
| holymoly | what do you need to reconfigure to get the boot progress bar to show up once again? | 20:28 |
| ere4si | nj786: it is up to you - but I see no reason not to :) | 20:28 |
| Arky44 | Chipsa964: no | 20:28 |
| suicidepills | simplexio: yeah, I think it's a limitation of FUSE | 20:28 |
| dragonphyre | arky44: Yeah. That happens. Linux is not windows. Can you see the wireless networks under Network Manager? | 20:28 |
| blah569 | !wireless | 20:28 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:28 |
| Arky44 | dragonphyre: no | 20:29 |
| drarem | where is my taskbar and why did it disappear? | 20:29 |
| dragonphyre | arky44: then you need to see if your drivers are part of the restricted drivers package, and enable them. | 20:29 |
| kestir | Hi, when I right click in nautilus on an audio file, there are two entries for "Open with xmms". Where can I edit this? | 20:29 |

| Flannel | evilzmurf: WoW works fine in wine. So if you can't get it to work, try wine instead. | 21:08 |

| heydabop | I've run chkdsk /f /r, I've used a diagnotic and repair tool made by my HDD manufactuor. I've also resized my NTFS partition using ntfsresize, but Ubuntu can't seem to read the partition table or something. | 21:09 |
| vedant | I have a sony minidv camcorder which lists itself as DCR-30 in lsusb. Is there any way to transfer videos from it to my computer without using a firewire cable? I have tried using cinerella, but it didn't work. Loading the v4l2-common module didn't add any /dev/video* or log something in the kernel log either. | 21:10 |
| simplexio | heydabop: what fdisk / qparted says about that hd ? | 21:10 |
| simplexio | heydabop: you need first create new partition to free space there, but i think you have done it allready | 21:10 |
| heydabop | simplexio, here's what happens when I try to do something on the partition manger. http://rossrs.us/gparted_details.htm | 21:11 |
| silent | is there a way to bring whole packages, including dependencies for use on an offline computer? | 21:11 |
| heydabop | Simplexio, wait, that's an old log. | 21:11 |
| evilzmurf | How to install Wine? I dont really understand what all these thing means. Like " | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | Ubuntu Linux Wine for Ubuntu, Debian, and Debian-based distributions Debian Linux | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | Debian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, utilize a special tool for managing packages known as APT. APT is able to automagically install all of the needed dependencies for a software package, as well as keep the package up to date, by scanning what are known as APT repositories. Debian-based distributions have their own repositories of software, many of which include Wine, however we keep our own repository of the latest available packages | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | here for download. | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | There used to be graphical instructions here, however we have found that the terminal commands are actually simpler to describe and quicker for the user to input. Because the commands below use sudo, you may have to enter your user password after hitting enter. | 21:12 |
| heydabop | Simplexio, I havn't saved a log since I resized the NTFS partition, but the results are very similer. | 21:12 |
| FloodBot3 | evilzmurf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | Adding the WineHQ APT Repository: | 21:12 |
| simplexio | heydabop: i hope so .. bad sectors | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | First, open a terminal window. Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following: | 21:12 |
| Flannel | silent: Check out AptOnCD | 21:12 |
| Slart | evilzmurf: don't spam the channel | 21:12 |
| Slart | evilzmurf: !pastebin or give us the url | 21:12 |
| heydabop | Simplexio, yea, I noticed. When I ran SeaTools it repaired 5. Now it doesn't say there are any errors. | 21:12 |
| evilzmurf | Sorry for that | 21:12 |

| Rezagrats | I have a load of repository indexes that are not downloading, is that average ? http://paste.stirk.org/19078 | 21:12 |

| === jtt is now known as jtisme2 | ||
| clearzen | zaggy-nl: you can boot from cd. Then mount the usb and start the install process | 21:15 |
| heydabop | Simplexio, ok, I'll do that. So Ubuntu probably won't be able to make an ext3 partition due to the bad sectors? | 21:15 |

| inminic | miha, cause it takes more time and effort to make windows programs they say on their website | 21:17 |

| RyanPrior | Can anybody recommend me a sound card that works really well with Ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| RyanPrior | JustJaden: What program are you using to edit the file? | 21:26 |
| robotjox | dragonphyre: ok, well my settings are all at default, meaning 0,0,1 | 21:26 |
| JustJaden | RyanPrior: Terminal | 21:26 |
| dragonphyre | robotjox: Sorry that my fix won't help you then. :( | 21:26 |
| === miha is now known as MikeS_Bel | ||
| JustJaden | I just added, something to the blacklist, and I want to exit and save | 21:27 |
| robotjox | dragonphyre: np - thanks for trying :) | 21:27 |
| RyanPrior | JustJaden: There's another program within the terminal, though. What did you type to start editing the file? (examples: "vi myfile.txt", "nano myfile.conf", etc) | 21:27 |
| LjL | JustJaden, "terminal" is just a place where you execute text-mode programs. | 21:27 |
| clearzen | JustJaden: what editor are you using? | 21:27 |
| Slart | RyanPrior:the creative audigy line works reasonably well.. (That Creative is the slime of the earth is another thing but the cards have pretty good support in linux at least) | 21:27 |
| lxuser | or it could mean you are dieing. | 21:27 |
| evilzmurf | Sorry for asking alot, but should i uinstall CrossOver games to? | 21:28 |
| clearzen | evilzmurf: I would | 21:28 |
| RyanPrior | evilzmurf: If you don't want it, nuke it. | 21:28 |
| evilzmurf | clearzen: Okei | 21:28 |
| Rageon | whats the keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces? | 21:28 |
| evilzmurf | RyanPrior: Willdo | 21:29 |
| RyanPrior | evilzmurf: I also suggest Wine-Doors, a package manager for Wine. | 21:29 |
| lxuser | control alt left or right arrow key? | 21:29 |
| clearzen | Rageon: ctrl + alt and a arrow key | 21:29 |
| clearzen | Rageon: in compiz at least | 21:29 |
| Rageon | doesnt work :s | 21:29 |
| evilzmurf | RyanPrior: Okeys | 21:29 |
| zaggy-nl | Hi, have an old laptop: no network, broken cdrom (will boot though), no usb boot support, want to boot from cdrom and install from usb hdd, how would I do so? | 21:29 |
| RyanPrior | Slart: I didn't know Creative had a bad rep. I was thinking of buying speakers from them. | 21:29 |
| Goliath23 | hi | 21:29 |
| Rageon | alot of options in compiz settings and keyboard shortcuts have dissappeared | 21:30 |
| kindofabuzz | Rageon: got more than one desktop? | 21:30 |
| Rageon | like switch to workspace ones.. | 21:30 |
| neolith2099 | gnome keyring doesn't remember my password for my ftp server...even after I check the remember forever box. How do I fix this? | 21:30 |
| eerpini_ | Ctrl+Alt+<direction buttons > | 21:30 |
| eerpini_ | that is for switching between workspaces | 21:30 |
| Rageon | yea i do | 21:30 |
| clearzen | RyanPrior: it's because they are threating to sue a community modder of their firmware | 21:30 |
| Goliath23 | anyone has experience already with updating from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS? | 21:30 |
| RyanPrior | zaggy-nl: You'll need to get an external CD drive if the built-in one doesn't work. | 21:30 |
| Meatgrinder | is there anyway to shut off notification of people quitting and entering the channel in xchat? It's making it hard to follow conversations. | 21:30 |
| kindofabuzz | do a ctrl -alt backspace and reload it | 21:30 |
| kindofabuzz | how 'bout 'dem tigers! | 21:30 |
| zaggy-nl | RyanPrior, I can boot from it, installing fails due to lots of read errors | 21:30 |
| K_Nine | Meatgrinder: Use Konversation. | 21:30 |
| kitche | Meatgrinder: yes it should be in the the options someplace if I rememebr correctly | 21:30 |
| Meatgrinder | hehe, i do in linux | 21:31 |
| Meatgrinder | ok i'll ck it again | 21:31 |
| zaggy-nl | so that's why I thought about booting from cd, then installing from usb hdd | 21:31 |
| RyanPrior | zaggy-nl: Yeah, probably would be good to replace the drive or borrow an external one from a mate. | 21:31 |
| zaggy-nl | it won't boot from anything usb | 21:31 |
| RyanPrior | zaggy-nl: Ah, I see. | 21:31 |
| kitche | Meatgrinder: umm you do in Linux then why aren't you using it with Ubuntu since Ubuntu is Linux :) | 21:31 |
| kindofabuzz | Meatgrinder: put your app in conferance mode if it can and you won't see the ins and outs | 21:31 |
| Rageon | still doesnt work :s | 21:31 |
| Meatgrinder | im on my windoze machine right now. :) | 21:31 |
| RyanPrior | zaggy-nl: And you can't netboot because there's no networking, eh? Sounds like a pretty useless machine. Time to donate to charity and see if they would have any use for its pieces. :-) | 21:31 |
| kindofabuzz | Meatgrinder: that shouldn't matter | 21:32 |
| Meatgrinder | kindofabuzz, ok ill ck for conference mode | 21:32 |
| kitche | Meatgrinder: ah so your not really using xcaht then unless you paid for it | 21:32 |
| eerpini_ | the keyboard shortcuts from metacity work in compiz mode also | 21:32 |
| zaggy-nl | RyanPrior, I shall NOT give up on this poor ol' laptop >:( | 21:32 |
| zaggy-nl | I've got plenty of pcmcia wifi cards | 21:32 |
| RyanPrior | zaggy-nl: In that case, it sounds like you'd need to spend money on it in order to get it into any usable state. | 21:32 |
| kitche | Meatgrinder: then I do not know then | 21:32 |
| clearzen | zaggy-nl: cannibalize it!! | 21:32 |
| kindofabuzz | texas got pwned =) | 21:32 |
| zaggy-nl | the boot from cdrom, install from usb hdd idea should be doable | 21:32 |
| Meatgrinder | kindofabuzz, i dunno, i just downloaded now on my windoze machine and ran it. | 21:32 |
| Lifeisfunny | try a new edit method sudo nano <directory/location/filename> | 21:32 |
| RyanPrior | zaggy-nl: If you can figure out how to netboot using a wifi card, go ahead -- I don't know if it's possible though. | 21:32 |
| zaggy-nl | tough to find a tutorial for said specific case | 21:33 |
| clearzen | zaggy-nl: yeah, it should work. Why do you want to if you don't have network access with it though? | 21:33 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | excuse me, anyone know if exist an installer for linux to the game bioshock? | 21:33 |
| zaggy-nl | clearzen, I was hopen to put wifi drivers on it using usb stick, then get wifi to work | 21:33 |
| Flannel | zaggy-nl: sneakernet works fine, yeah. | 21:33 |
| mactaylor | will i notice a difference with 64bit??????// | 21:34 |
| RyanPrior | DeadLy_sp_: doesn't look good from a Wine perspective. (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5695) | 21:34 |
| JustJaden | I don't know how to find out what editor I'm using | 21:34 |
| eerpini_ | iwl3945 drivers are bad on 2.6.24.4. kernel | 21:34 |
| eerpini_ | anyone has solution s? | 21:34 |
| usrsrc | i am new in ubuntu. | 21:34 |
| clearzen | JustJaden: is it in a terminal or is it graphical. If it is graphical then it is most likely gedit | 21:34 |
| simplexio | mactaylor: 32bit has less problems | 21:34 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | RyanPrior, i dont like wine :/ | 21:35 |
| JustJaden | I think I used the sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 21:35 |
| simplexio | mactaylor: 64bit is worth after you have more that 4G RAM | 21:35 |
| RyanPrior | JustJaden: do you remember what command you used to start editing the file? | 21:35 |
| clearzen | JustJaden: ok, it's vim | 21:35 |
| clearzen | JustJaden: do this :wq | 21:35 |
| JustJaden | Ok i'll try that | 21:35 |
| RyanPrior | JustJaden: if :wq doesn't work, try hitting escape and doing it again. | 21:35 |
| mactaylor | but no speed increase? | 21:35 |
| eerpini_ | blacklist what ? | 21:35 |
| RyanPrior | DeadLy_sp_: I don't see a Bioshock game for native Linux. | 21:36 |
| SeveredCross | What in the world does "mand" mean in mtab? | 21:36 |
| SeveredCross | I see this: //129.64.131.37/downloads on /media/downloads type cifs (rw,mand) for one of my samba shares when I type mount, and I have no idea what that means. | 21:36 |
| eerpini_ | i have checked the blacklist file , but what do i use if i am not using iwl39445 for my wifi card ? | 21:36 |
| Meatgrinder | kindofabuzz, Found it, that is if anyone cares...just right click on tab channel in xchat to turn off join/leave messages. | 21:36 |
| newbie_ | could someone tell me how can I connect to internet using the command prompt? which commands do I need? | 21:36 |
| JustJaden | Now it says E212: Can't open file for writing. | 21:36 |
| simplexio | DeadLy_sp_: yes, there is, it's called wine ./Bioshock/setup.exe ;) | 21:36 |
| lxuser | how do i turn ubuntu into a sexy robot woman? is there a tutorial on the wiki? | 21:36 |
| eerpini_ | ipw3945 dont compile at all , a lot of errors | 21:37 |
| MikeS_Bel | :) | 21:37 |
| clearzen | newbie_: surfing the net with lynx sucks. I reccomend getting a graphical browser | 21:37 |
| Meatgrinder | depends on what you are going to do with her | 21:37 |
| lxuser | lynx is the best browser in the universe | 21:37 |
| zaggy-nl | apart from this picture issue | 21:37 |
| TaRDy | how come my pidgin version is 2.2.1 but the latest available on pidgin.im is 2.4.0, but synaptic doesn't see anything newer? | 21:37 |
| clearzen | lol | 21:37 |
| eerpini_ | lynx is the best user for hackers | 21:38 |
| DeadLy_sp_ | simplexio, i dont like wine :( | 21:38 |

| kitche | TaRDy: because that's the latest in Ubuntu | 21:38 |

| ubotu | lxuser :-): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:38 |
| simplexio | DeadLy_sp_: far as i know it's only good way to run windows software in _linux_ | 21:38 |
| usrsrc | lxuser, and vi is the best editor in the universe | 21:38 |
| Flannel | ader10: stop mpd manually, then purge again | 21:38 |
| TaRDy | kitche, so downloading the source and compiling wouldnt work? | 21:38 |
| JustJaden | Vim is not letting me save and quit the blacklist. It says It can't open file for writing. | 21:38 |
| clearzen | newbie_: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade | 21:38 |
| lxuser | thanks ryanprior, im sure they will have a great answer for me | 21:38 |
| s0crates | Hello everyone, do you know of a good program to capture video? I have a tv tuner card, but it's hooked up from a digital cable box, I just need the feed. I think MythTV is overkill.. | 21:39 |

| zaggy-nl | newbie_, ifconfig eth0 <your ip> netmask 255.255.255.0 && route add default <gateway ip> && ifconfig eth0 up && lynx www.google.com | 21:39 |

| Flannel | ader10: alright, go ahead and edit /etc/init.d/mpd to always return 0 then, (just add a return at the beginning) | 21:40 |

| JustJaden | I'm currently in the blacklist, I made a change, and now I want to save and quit. but the file says it can't open file for writing | 21:40 |
| LjL | !sudo | JustJaden | 21:41 |

| tyler_d | how do I format a partition ? | 21:41 |
| Flannel | JustJaden: you need to start vim with sudo privledges, you can't do it once you're already started. | 21:41 |
| simplexio | edju: and problem is? i actually would someone to write software to turn off all those annoying leds | 21:41 |
| LjL | tyler_d: "man mkfs", or use gparted | 21:41 |
| clearzen | SonicEpsilon: System >> admin >> Restricted drivers manager | 21:41 |
| JustJaden | oh. ok. Thanks, I'll try that | 21:41 |
| acalbaza_ | silly question... if a drive is recognized by linux, i should have a /dev entry even though its not mounted, correct? | 21:41 |
| tyler_d | LjL: tyvm | 21:41 |
| pinchmesh | how do i get sound to go to usb output | 21:41 |
| simplexio | acalbaza_: yes, | 21:41 |

| kitche | acalbaza_: yep | 21:41 |
| kitche | JustJaden: :q! | 21:41 |
| acalbaza_ | just trying to verify if a drive is bad or not... | 21:42 |

| SonicEpsilon | driver in use | 21:42 |
| SonicEpsilon | atheros hardware access layer | 21:42 |
| LjL | JustJaden: or stop hurting yourself, and use nano or gedit | 21:42 |
| eerpini_ | hey i have checked the restricted drivers, but , i have a custom compiled kernel on gutsy , so the restricted drivers is kind of invalid | 21:42 |
| JustJaden | Whoo Hoo! Something worked. | 21:42 |
| JustJaden | How do I used those? | 21:42 |
| RyanPrior | JustJaden: I'd just use gedit if I were you. | 21:42 |
| ader10 | Flannel: What am I supposed to do to /etc/init.d/mpd again? | 21:42 |
| acalbaza_ | thanks! | 21:42 |
| simplexio | acalbaza_: check sata from /dev/sd?? or /dev/disk/*, ide /dev/sda? or hd?? | 21:42 |
| kitche | eerpini_: you need to install the driver manually them | 21:42 |
| Stevenx | How do I get widgets on Ubuntu? | 21:42 |
| LjL | JustJaden: by typing "nano" and "gedit" respectively, quite surprisingly :) | 21:42 |
| clearzen | LjL: vim is awesome. if you can find a terminal on almost any system it has vim | 21:43 |
| JustJaden | Typing those instead of what? | 21:43 |
| RyanPrior | JustJaden: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 21:43 |
| eerpini_ | kitche : i have tried that , but has a problem with the ieee80211 stack , it never gets compiled ? | 21:43 |
| kitche | clearzen: not all systems have vim my system does not have vim :) | 21:43 |
| eerpini_ | ?? | 21:43 |

| JustJaden | great, that worked....but it's blank | 21:44 |
| clearzen | kitche: ok, not all but it is about 30 years old or so and widely used. not user friendly though | 21:44 |
| Flannel | ader10: first line (well, first line after the shebang) add "exit 0", this will make it always exit 0 without doing anything, regardless of what you pass to it. | 21:44 |
| RyanPrior | MikeS_Bel: Stop using XMMS. Development ceased ages ago. | 21:44 |
| LjL | JustJaden: i doubt it, you must have mistyped | 21:44 |
| JustJaden | Wow, that's a much better looking program | 21:44 |

| eerpini_ | vim is just awesome, it is lightening fast | 21:45 |
| RyanPrior | MikeS_Bel: Yeah, like Windows 97 is still good. :-) | 21:45 |
| LjL | RyanPrior: there is a difference, xmms *exists* | 21:45 |
| RyanPrior | MikeS_Bel: As in, "still installs, still works (with some stuff), but is way way out of date" | 21:45 |
| simplexio | mDemocritus: mount /dev/sdb1 ? | 21:45 |
| MikeS_Bel | then.. recommend a better one | 21:46 |

| amenado | SisyphusINC-> put your system in a controlled environment and then scan it from another pc...both on the exposed side and what you consider safe side | 22:17 |

| kindofabuzz | guid: all you need is checkinstall, after you ./configure and make, instead of sudo make install you run sudo make checkinstall and it installs it and makes a deb | 22:19 |

| simplexio | or if you didnt get any help /quit thank you very much | 22:19 |

| RyanPrior | Rageon: Make sure you have the number of virtual workspaces set to 4, then enable the cube pluginl | 22:22 |
| kindofabuzz | Rageon: first go to general settings and make vertical workspaces =4 then encable cube and cube rotate | 22:22 |

| otoris | Hi I was wondering if some one could help me with a compiz bug in ubuntu, I have a ATI raedon X1650 video card and have all drivers and such setup, When I enter a 3d game with compiz on the game constantly flickers, but when I turn it off it stops the flicker but I need to keep compiz on or it will erase the compiz settings, so I was wondering if this is fixed in 8.04 or is there a work around? help would be much appreciated. :) | 22:49 |

| JustJaden | Please some one help me, I can't for the life of me figure out why this won't work. <sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r'> It's the next thing I have to do to get my wireless card set up. This website is where I'm getting my info. I really want to figure this out. grrr. | 22:52 |
| Rezagrats | What's a good video authoring program ? | 22:52 |
| LjL | JustJaden: what does "uname -r" say? | 22:53 |
| net`split | LjL, #eggdrop is empty. | 22:53 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, let me try this again | 22:53 |
| Azure_Tide | also, should I run a system backup before I begin to shrink my drive? | 22:53 |
| JustJaden | I don't know. Thats just what it says to put in. | 22:53 |
| LjL | net`split, my suspicion is that you lack a config file. there would most likely be an example one in the package. | 22:53 |
| yaro | I need help setting up print sharing between two Ubuntu boxes. All the howtos I have found seem to always be between Ubuntu and Windows. Not helpful. Any help? | 22:53 |
| net`split | LjL, yes i used the example | 22:53 |
| LjL | JustJaden: until you don't type it, you won't know. i'm telling you to type « uname -r » and tell me what it says. | 22:54 |
| LjL | net`split: and what happens exactly? | 22:54 |
| masmota | is there a way to have video files full-screened on my second monitor (the tv) ? the dual setup is alrdy working properly | 22:54 |
| JustJaden | oh..it says 2.6.24-12 generic | 22:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JustJaden, did you already install build-essential | 22:54 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, was trying to install build-essentials | 22:54 |
| LjL | JustJaden: it probably says 2.6.24-12-generic, doesn't it? | 22:54 |
| LjL | shawnr34: well, try again now | 22:55 |
| net`split | LjL, /usr/share/eggdrop/bot.conf is the the config file and i tried starting the bot with eggdrop -m bot.conf but it tells me: [23:44] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR) | 22:55 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, "build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or" | 22:55 |

| DragonLotus | Hey, I installed the ATI radeon 9800 pro drivers and I no longer can run glxgears. Says xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Any ideas what this means? | 22:55 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, "libc-dev: Depends: g++ but it is not going to be installed" | 22:55 |
| LjL | net`split, you need to give it the full path (/usr/share/eggdrop/bot.conf) unless you copied it to the current directory | 22:55 |
| masmota | is there a way to have video files automatically fullscreened & positioned on second monitor? (the tv) .. the dual-setup is alrdy working. | 22:55 |
| LjL | shawnr34, pastebin the *whole* thing please | 22:55 |
| masmota | dragon...i just fixed that on mine | 22:55 |

| LjL | Jack_Sparrow: i'd say security without checking | 22:57 |

| Tatster | Hi, I wonder if someone could help me try and recover my machine that won't boot | 23:01 |
| JustJaden | Jack_Sparrow: so did you want the website that it gives me? http://pastebin.com/f5e2b6bec | 23:01 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, Installed: 2.7-9ubuntu2 | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 23:02 |
| DragonLotus | masmota: trying removing ati related drivers and reinstalling the proprietary version. good idea thanks | 23:02 |
| LjL | shawnr34: ok you're messed up. libc6 is, basically, the most important library on your system, and you have the Hardy version instead of the proper Gutsy version. | 23:02 |
| Tatster | I get some init errors and the machine won't boot. Errors are here: http://pastebin.ca/963906 | 23:02 |
| LjL | shawnr34: in other words, you have a system that is half Gutsy and half Hardy. | 23:02 |

| shawnr34 | LjL, terrific | 23:03 |
| JustJaden | What exactly is that pastebin thing? | 23:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JustJaden, For starters.. you are in the wrong room.. Hardy is #Ubuntu+1 | 23:03 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, how can I fix this | 23:03 |
| LjL | shawnr34: i'm sorry, but i have no easy solution (you could try completely upgrading to Hardy, but given the state of your system, that might not be successful, and Hardy may still be unstable anyway)... you should remember to not mix weird repositories, EVER, next time :| | 23:03 |
| masmota | dragonlotus: just to get the files back the way they should be, then u can swap | 23:03 |
| masmota | like reinstall theother | 23:03 |
| LjL | shawnr34: or we could try to bring you back to the right version of libc6, but even that might fail and possibly break more stuff, depending on how much other Hardy stuff you have installed. | 23:04 |
| masmota | maybe it was diff in my case | 23:04 |

| unocrash | hey everyone | 23:04 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, do you think I would come back up from a reboot right now? | 23:04 |
| Tatster | I tried following this thread from the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322709 but I can't do the mount from within the livecd as it says unknown filesystem 'linux_raid_member' | 23:04 |
| jason | ware do the names for ubuntu releases come from? | 23:04 |
| Azure_Tide | if i partition 40 gigs to linux, should that be enough for programming, anime, and roms? also could I re add it back to windows if I ever have to for some reason? | 23:04 |
| LjL | shawnr34: probably yes, couldn't swear on it | 23:04 |
| charles__ | jason, looney toons | 23:04 |
| JustJaden | .......oh! wow....sorry everyone. Thanks for all your help though. | 23:04 |

| Lunks | I want to login to a server using sftp:// on nautilus, but I want to become root after I login. I can login with sftp://user@host, but I need to become root only after logging in. How can I do this? | 23:05 |
| unocrash | charles: really?!? | 23:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JustJaden, For what is is worth, your sources look fine | 23:05 |
| shawnr34 | LjL, cause I can reinstall but hal stopped or something my thumb drive isn't mounting and i need it to back some things up | 23:05 |
| mDemocritus | Tatester: what the heck happened? | 23:05 |
| charles__ | Lunks, you can't do that | 23:05 |
| LjL | shawnr34: can always use a live cd i suppose | 23:05 |
| JustJaden | Jack_Sparrow: thanks. | 23:05 |
| Tatster | I'm not sure to be honest!!!! | 23:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:05 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: what was the last thing you did? | 23:05 |
| Lunks | charles__: I can't change user after connected? | 23:06 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: does recovery mode work? | 23:06 |
| Lunks | I can do it on ssh easily. | 23:06 |
| charles__ | Lunks, sftp doesn't have a concept of switching users | 23:06 |
| unocrash | could i ask a question about 6 LTS here? | 23:06 |
| Azure_Tide | How long does it take to shrink a vol. and install 7.10? | 23:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | unocrash, sure | 23:06 |
| JustJaden | So..which Ubuntu are all of you using? | 23:07 |
| Lunks | charles__: I want a simple drag'n drop utility which can do this. Can you point me in some direction? =P | 23:07 |
| Tatster | One minute system was fine, then webmin started responding weirdly....then I ventured into my loft where the box and I couldn't login locally, rebooted (yes I know it was probably the wrong thing to do) and now it won't boot | 23:07 |
| eax | JustJaden: Feisty as Gutsy doesn't work on my lappie :( | 23:07 |
| charles__ | Lunks, why can't you just log in as root to begin with? | 23:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Azure_Tide, how much is on the volume you are shrinking and how big of a volume is it.. too many factors for a simple answer | 23:07 |
| paper_app | hello boot... how can i to change my pass?? | 23:07 |
| mDemocritus | JustJaden: lol a bunch... kubuntu 7.10 on the desktop, ubuntu dapper on the server, xubuntu dapper on the ancient ibook.... | 23:07 |

| Azure_Tide | Jack_Sparrow> sorry didn't think of that, its a 160gb hdd in my laptop, and I'm gonna make room for about 40GB for linux | 23:08 |
| charles__ | Johnes, what card are you using? | 23:08 |
| unocrash | JustJaden: DO you have a good comouter | 23:08 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: ick... that's bad.... server? | 23:08 |
| Tatster | home server | 23:08 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: i mean, does it have a gui? | 23:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Azure_Tide, plan on it taking awhile.. | 23:08 |
| Tatster | it has xfce4 on it | 23:08 |
| paper_app | Done!! tnks so much!!! | 23:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Azure_Tide, defrag your ntfs.. twice before starting | 23:09 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: ah... xubuntu? or ubuntu server + xfce? | 23:09 |
| unocrash | JustJaden: Try either Ubuntu or xubuntu. | 23:09 |
| tommykn0cker | hi all. for somewhat reason my shortcut ctrl+alt+del for logout doesnt work anymore. any ideas?.. | 23:09 |
| Johnes | charles: ati x1270 | 23:09 |
| Azure_Tide | Jack_Sparrow, I have a TL-56 dual core cpu, 2 gb ram, and ati x1200, would 7.10 ubuntu be the best version for me based on those specs? | 23:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tommykn0cker, ctrl-alt-backspace? | 23:10 |
| LjL | !identify | paper_app | 23:10 |
| ubotu | paper_app: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 23:10 |
| JustJaden | Which Ubuntu is best for beginners? | 23:10 |
| tommykn0cker | Jack_Sparrow, no this one would restart x11 (or something) | 23:10 |
| Johnes | charles_ : I dont know what command I have to use... My card is an ati x1270 | 23:10 |
| JustJaden | I like the layout of Hardy, but....I don't know any better. | 23:10 |
| unocrash | JustJaden: xubuntu, then ubuntu/kubuntu | 23:10 |
| Tatster | ubuntu + xfce4 - I think!! I have experimented with loads of variations! | 23:10 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: well, it doesn't really matter either way... does recovery mode in the bootloader work? | 23:10 |
| Tatster | checking now | 23:11 |

| unocrash | !xfce | JustJaden | 23:11 |
| Lunks | charles__: got it, thanks =) | 23:11 |
| JustJaden | unocrash: what is !xfce | justjaden? what do I do with that? | 23:12 |
| Azure_Tide | Jack_Sparrow, yes its 32bit, and defrag twice? I defraged with AIM up last night, and defragged again about 1-2 weeks ago, should I still do 2 defrags w/ everything closed now, or just one? | 23:12 |
| mDemocritus | lol i don't think that worked unocrash | 23:12 |
| tommykn0cker | Jack_Sparrow the point is, it worked all the time, but now not anymore.. i cannot remember if i changed something.. the shortcut is still there in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts | 23:12 |

| djjd | hmm does not work | 23:20 |
| JustJaden | unocrash: great, I'll download it now. Does it matter if I get the 64bit AMD version or not. I do have an AMD64, but does it really make a difference? | 23:20 |
| javatexan | i saw where nero linux will do it, but they didnt show a compat list either... | 23:20 |

| soundray | JustJaden: Hardy is beta at the moment, so you might have some glitches, which are harder to deal with when you're inexperienced | 23:20 |
| Tatster | I'm guessing this should be the one to choose ? | 23:20 |
| unocrash | I went with x86, even though my system is 64-bit conpatible | 23:20 |
| JustJaden | soundray: ha! understatement. I love this experience though. So glad to be done with Windows. | 23:20 |
| soundray | JustJaden: amd64 is faster for numbercrunching/video encoding | 23:21 |
| unocrash | djjd: you have to hold it | 23:21 |
| Swiss73 | When trying to boot off of the xp hard drive i get ntldr missing | 23:21 |
| mDemocritus | Tatster: uh... probably? i'm not sure, sorry | 23:21 |
| Positronic | how much fast, soundray? | 23:21 |
| Positronic | *faster | 23:21 |
| Positronic | like, is it noticeably faster? | 23:21 |
| soundray | JustJaden: amd64 also allows you to use more RAM | 23:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DragonLotus, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx xserver-xgl is where I would start. but some of those ati are a pain.. the 9800 is no exception | 23:21 |
| eth01 | Positronic: that can depend on which particular model/version you're running. | 23:21 |
| DragonulRosu | quit | 23:21 |
| hexon | I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu (because i screwed it up) over the previous installation, but it keeps telling me that"File systems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other file systems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting." | 23:21 |
| unocrash | djjd: to turn on the rain effect, hit shift+F9. | 23:21 |
| Positronic | processor or distro? | 23:21 |
| eth01 | proc. | 23:21 |
| soundray | Positronic: it's noticeably faster with some 3D image processing software I use. | 23:21 |
| djjd | cool thanks | 23:22 |
| djjd | now what about the fire? | 23:22 |
| soundray | Positronic: for desktop responsiveness, it makes no difference | 23:22 |
| unocrash | ummmmm | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hexon, that is correct / needs to be reformatted | 23:22 |
| unocrash | djjd: idk | 23:22 |
| hexon | Jack_Sparrow: how do I do that? | 23:22 |
| unocrash | you have to set it. | 23:22 |
| Positronic | isn't there a way to address more RAM than the 32-bit version of ubuntu allows in the 32-bit version? | 23:23 |
| soundray | JustJaden: if you have or plan to upgrade to 4GB+, go with amd64. | 23:23 |
| unocrash | djjd: you have to set the key | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hexon, it should take care of things by itself, are you trying to preserve thingsa on your old system? | 23:23 |
| JustJaden | Well thank you for all your help everyone. I'm going to love this crowd. I'll catch you on the flipside when I get 7.10 loaded. | 23:23 |
| Swiss73 | Hello, I have Ubuntu + grub on a hard drive (samsung, for name sake to keep track) and xp on another one (maxtor), and id like to remove ubuntu and grub so that i can boot off of maxtor and use samsung as more storage for XP, but i tried an online guide and now when i try to boot off of mactor i get "NTLDR is missing [Next line] Press any key to restart" | 23:24 |
| soundray | Positronic: there would be, but Linus Torvalds has personally argued against it, so I don't think it'll make its way into the mainline kernel | 23:24 |
| shukty | hi i m under a router and i m using java-vnc i can't get my vnc from the net only intranet ... any idea? | 23:24 |
| Positronic | ah | 23:24 |
| hexon | Jack_Sparrow, no, I want to completely start fresh, but it won't let me place the '/' mount location over the preexisting dev/sda6 | 23:24 |
| mDemocritus | Swiss73: that's no good... google for that error message... your windows drive is messed up | 23:24 |
| Wisteso | Is anyone aware of a way to have the GDM login aquire an IP over a secure wireless network automatically? | 23:25 |
| unocrash | the negitave thing is cool! | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hexon, it should as long as you put a check mark next to it to allow formatting | 23:25 |
| Swiss73 | mDemocritus: i did, and nothing worked, i have a windows XP upgrade hom edition and it wont let me jsut ovewrite everything | 23:25 |
| Wisteso | Debian style I guess you could say. | 23:25 |
| shukty | !vnc | 23:25 |
| soundray | shukty: you need to find out which ports vnc uses, and forward those from the router to the machine. For security, look up vnc tunnelling through ssh. | 23:25 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 23:25 |
| hexon | Jack_Sparrow: oooohhh, now i see | 23:25 |

| shukty | ok | 23:26 |

| Scunizi | every time I load xchat I get an error about "balloon messages" not being able to display and to install libnotify. however libnotify1 from the repo's IS installed.. the error doesn't prevent xchat from loading or working though. What is this and how do I fix it? | 23:26 |
| Nith | Swiss73: do what erUSUL says | 23:26 |
| Swiss73 | erUSUL: i did that as some one told me to get rid of grub and NOW i have ntldr missing | 23:27 |
| soundray | tommykn0cker: look at the video-related settings in /etc/default/acpi-support -- it often takes some experimentation to find a combination that works | 23:27 |
| Nith | Swiss73: did you make the second drive your primary drive? | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | Swiss73: maybe you should first change the master slave status of the disk or mark the correct disk for booting on bios | 23:27 |
| Swiss73 | erUSUL: im using the small cable, not the master slave ones, what do i do? | 23:28 |
| tommykn0cker | soundray, alright ill try it out, thx | 23:29 |
| silencedbear | My pigden keeps exiting is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it to get the default settings ? | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | Swiss73: the disk where windows is installed should be the first one on the boot sequence on bios if you are using sata i guess | 23:30 |
| Swiss73 | erUSUL, so my maxtor, ill boot from that one sec | 23:30 |
| Rageon | !kopete | 23:30 |
| djjd | ntdlr missing could also mean you have a floppy in the drive | 23:30 |
| ubotu | Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) is supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Pidgin | 23:30 |
| Tatster | I'm going to have to scratch my head some more another day. I'm probably going to remove 1 of my drives (mirrored) then have another crack at resolving my non-booting, otherwise re-install | 23:30 |
| Swiss73 | i have no floppy drive | 23:31 |
| Horus__ | salve | 23:31 |

| Aval0n | what is the command for dist upgrade? | 23:32 |
| soundray | silencedbear: if you quit pidgin, do a 'mv ~/.purple ~/pidgin-config-backup' and start it again, it should generate a fresh configuration for you | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | Swiss73: try using "fixmbr" again. btw we are a little be offtopic now | 23:33 |
| djjd | boot into recovery mode and get to a command prompt then you can copy the old hive from the repair folder | 23:33 |
| soundray | Aval0n: 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'? | 23:33 |
| Aval0n | err duh | 23:33 |
| Aval0n | ty | 23:33 |
| silencedbear | soundray it just keeps exiting not sure why theres an error log but not sure what it means. | 23:33 |

| djjd | Nis can you access a terminal? | 23:33 |
| jordan_ | hardy came out already? i thought its was comen out in a few weeks | 23:33 |
| stefg | !hardy | 23:34 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 23:34 |
| Nith | it is, but the beta's out | 23:34 |
| silencedbear | I believe its beta atm. | 23:34 |
| djjd | beta | 23:34 |
| Nis2k | djjd, yes but only by GRUB | 23:34 |

| nikola1 | can I ask something | 23:34 |
| nikola1 | ? | 23:34 |
| Nis2k | yes, ask | 23:34 |
| Nith | Nis2k: your install failed, busybox means something's not working durring the boot seq. | 23:34 |
| soundray | silencedbear: my suggestion is fairly generic -- see if it works -- if it doesn't, you'll have to ask the channel again. I don't use pidgin personally | 23:34 |

| silencedbear | elpargo you know the command to install it plz. | 23:37 |
| djjd | the settings are in you xorg file | 23:37 |
| stefg | Nis2k: busybox is the minimal system utility that resides in the initial ramdisk, the filesystem which the kernel uses before it has acces to the actual root filesystem. So you are habging in the initrd, that probably means that the kernel cannot find the root file system. | 23:38 |
| soundray | silencedbear: have you tried to apply the fix I suggested? | 23:39 |
| Nis2k | stefg, is there anyway i can use fluxbox instead of busybox? | 23:39 |
| Horus__ | what is the command for take a screenshot from the console? | 23:39 |

| ijustam | i have an mpeg i want to convert to a gif | 23:53 |
| stefg | eduardo: first mount your installed system | 23:53 |
| unop | soundray, doesn't the grub postinst script set that up? | 23:53 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: you think that would work? the stupid multitracker doesn't show in /dev, but other usb disks work fine | 23:53 |
| Carbonflux | ijustam, just need to install all the right plugins, take a look at gimp.org also | 23:53 |
| soundray | semi-newb: also, the /boot/initrd-...gz is fairly specific to your system | 23:53 |
| Azure_Tide | boohbah > i've never used linux before, and this is my laptop I use for everything. 8.04 doesn't have a stable ver til april 24th right? | 23:54 |
| DragonLotus | soundray: restarting | 23:54 |
| Carbonflux | ijustam, also in the ubuntu repo's if you search for "gimp" using symantac there is a video/animation package you can install | 23:54 |
| soundray | unop: I don't think so... but I may be wrong. | 23:54 |
| eduardo | stefg, where do i mount my hd to? | 23:54 |
| stefg | mDemocritus: so it's no USB stick, but some player? might just be not compatible | 23:54 |
| ijustam | Carbonflux: yeah i have that one | 23:54 |
| Aval0n | so when apt-get dist-upgrade is finished your at gutsy? | 23:54 |
| Carbonflux | ah ok | 23:54 |
| === ilsanto is now known as IlSanto | ||
| Aval0n | you're | 23:54 |
| IlSanto | hi all | 23:54 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: but it's supposedly mass storage class | 23:54 |
| Sinnerman | nautilus has stopped making thumbnails for my pictures, why is that? | 23:54 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: and works on windows... | 23:54 |
| soundray | unop: no -- it only runs update-grub, which needs at least a basic one in place | 23:55 |
| SubOne | how do i restore my sound after wine killed it | 23:55 |
| eduardo | stefg, where do i mount my hd to_ | 23:55 |
| stefg | eduardo: you should see in it 'Computer' and clicking on it will mount it some where in /media ... the interesting part is where it gets mounted. What ubuntu version do you use ? | 23:55 |
| unop | soundray, /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub.postinst calls update-grub which generates menu.lst (see the manpage) | 23:55 |
| Shai | Hey all, I'm trying to blacklist a module but, it continues to load. I've added entries to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and I've created a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-smsc_ircc2 but it continues to load. Any suggestions? | 23:55 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: i haven't taken a look at the udev logs though... thanks for the idea | 23:55 |
| jurgen | suche was zum poppen | 23:55 |
| Carbonflux | ijustam, it can be a pain, I decided to generate all my animations in avi files even tho I am using a linux tool chain because of the conversion tools, when I was looking around at options for building a tool chain I did see a few command line tools that should do what you want, but I don't recall the details now. | 23:55 |
| stefg | mDemocritus: 'works on windows' means nothing | 23:56 |
| ijustam | it might be easier just to use imagemagick to convert my jpg frames to gif then use gifsicle.. | 23:56 |
| eduardo | stefg. 7.10 | 23:56 |
| SeanInSeattle | Has anyone else noticed that dependencies are an issue with installing a given program in Ubuntu / Linux? | 23:56 |
| Shai | SeanInSeattle Haven't seen that so far. | 23:56 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: lol i'm aware... but it should, since there's a standard for USB Mass Storage devices.... | 23:56 |
| Carbonflux | SeanInSeattle, thats a good thing | 23:56 |
| SeanInSeattle | Carbonflux: Why is that a good thing? | 23:57 |
| === silverdawn_ is now known as Silverdawn | ||
| stefg | mDemocritus: so you're gonna say that it's a standards compliant device | 23:57 |
| Carbonflux | because its better then downloading a app and having it just crash | 23:57 |
| eduardo | stefg, im using ubuntu 7.10 | 23:57 |
| artfullylost | So Hardy Heron releases at the tail end of April, correct? | 23:57 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: nah... but it says it is.... | 23:57 |
| Shai | So, anyone know hwo to get a module to stop loading at boot? | 23:57 |
| SeanInSeattle | I mean, I resolved the issue with dependencies, but it was a 6 step process... argh. | 23:58 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: any other ideas.... you think changing the drive caching might help? | 23:58 |
| Carbonflux | Linux is fairly transparent about dependencies I like that. | 23:58 |
| stefg | eduardo: so open 'Computer' you should see your installed ubuntu partition. click on it and see if a window pops up showing the content | 23:58 |
| ijustam | ugh, the imagemagick that comes in the repos is kinda lacking | 23:58 |
| Piffer | Whats a good URL where I get get some Ubuntu shirts/glasses/stickers etc? (Not Jinx/thinkgeek) | 23:58 |
| nottnott | could someone help me with PHP/running SH | 23:58 |
| IlSanto | raga ma... ho ubuntu 7.10 quindi con compiz, lo ho abilitato installato il compizsettingmanager.. tutt'ok attivo il cubo e funziona... ma non riesco a vedere il cubo ma solo le facce dei quattro desktop premendo freccia ctr+alt+dx con ctr+alt+down mi fa vedere un desktop affianco all'altro e non il cubo..... qualche idea ? | 23:58 |
| eduardo | stefg, yes i can see the content now, but i dont know what to fix | 23:58 |
| stefg | mDemocritus: is taht ntfs formatted ? | 23:58 |
| steve__ | morgen | 23:58 |
| Boohbah | Shai: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 23:58 |
| mDemocritus | stefg: nope... FAT32 | 23:58 |
| eduardo | stefg, i had troubles with gtk lib, but i reinstalled it, and it didnt work either | 23:58 |
| soundray | SeanInSeattle: that's not normally the case. If you 'sudo apt-get install app', it'll normally pull in the required dependencies in one step. | 23:58 |
| Carbonflux | SeanInSeattle, thats linux tho, its not a 1:1 map with "user friendly" OS's regardless of the press, its the price you pay for control | 23:58 |
| valros | Any insight into this problem please, im running the live CD on a dell laptop, no sound. Is this a known problem or would this continue. | 23:59 |
| Carbonflux | ya what soundray said | 23:59 |
| DragonLotus | Hey soundray, I rebooted and I still recieved the error about it not being able to find my video card and me having to pick it manually. | 23:59 |
| Odd-rationale | How do I get a new IP address from a dhcp server? Thanks! | 23:59 |
| Shai | Boohbah, I did, it still loads. Also blacklisted anything that was dependent on it. | 23:59 |
| stefg | eduardo: open a terminal, run 'sudo fdisk -l' and paste the result to !pastebin | 23:59 |
| stefg | !paste | eduardo | 23:59 |
| ubotu | eduardo: 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) | 23:59 |
| eduardo | stefg ok | 23:59 |
| nottnott | could someone help with PHP running a SH file? | 23:59 |
| DragonLotus | nottnott: Sure | 23:59 |
| unop | nottnott, ask in #php | 23:59 |
| nottnott | thanks | 23:59 |
