| stefg | !wine | utarpradesh | 00:00 |
|---|
| ubotu | utarpradesh: 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. | 00:00 |

| utarpradesh | Carbonflux, how do i enable this? | 00:00 |
|---|
| 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) | 00:00 |
|---|
| SeanInSeattle | Carbonflux: That's soo true. It makes the difference in the user if the given individual has enough patience and perseverance to get all the pieces together. | 00:00 |
|---|
| valros | Can someone help please, I'm running the Ubuntu live CD on a dell laptop, no sound. Is this a known problem or would this continue. | 00:00 |
|---|
| soundray | DragonLotus: then the backup you picked wasn't a working one. The earliest one you have is usually best (listed last if you 'ls -lt /etc/X11/xorg.conf*') | 00:00 |
|---|
| Nith | SeanInSeattle: there is no real way around them | 00:01 |
|---|
| ShadowdogKGB | Hiiiiiiiii | 00:01 |

| Shai | This sucks, took me an hour to get lirc working and all day to try to figure out how to blacklist a module that prevents lirc from loading properly. | 00:01 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | can any one help me? | 00:01 |
|---|
| Nith | SeanInSeattle: windows has them too, its just transparent because the libraries come from the same place | 00:01 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: wow you're taking on a bunch... i'll be here for a while, so just let me know if anything else comes to mind... your input it much appreciated | 00:01 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | is* | 00:01 |
|---|
| soundray | Shai: too bad -- even ubotu knows how to blacklist | 00:02 |
|---|
| eduardo | stefg, its pasted. | 00:02 |
|---|
| ShadowdogKGB | Anybody know how to get a Lexmark Z1300 Printer to work with Ubuntu? | 00:02 |
|---|
| soundray | Shai: I've found lirc painful, too, though | 00:02 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | hello!!! i need sum good old help plz!! | 00:02 |
|---|
| SeanInSeattle | Thanks all. Have a great one! | 00:02 |
|---|
| unop | Shai, see /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* | 00:02 |
|---|
| semi-newb | soundray and unop: thanks for your help. i reinstalled grub and linux-image and the files are there. hopefully after reboot it will still work. (i restored an older backup of menu.lst too) ttyl! | 00:02 |
|---|
| DragonLotus | thanks soundray I ran dpkg-reconfigure now I'll restart. | 00:02 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: so you looked at dmesg yourself.... everything that comes to mind is dependant on on what it says | 00:02 |
|---|
| Shai | Soundray - how do you blacklist a module that contiues to load even when it's in the blacklist file and has a blacklist file of its own? | 00:02 |
|---|
| individual_elev | hello.i have downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 in winrar form..how can i create a live cd out of it? | 00:03 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | can any one hear me? | 00:03 |
|---|
| unop | semi-newb, let us know if it works ok | 00:03 |
|---|
| Carbonflux | utarpradesh, its: -dxlevel 80 | 00:03 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: yeah... it looks like it detected fine... did you see my paste? | 00:03 |
|---|
| stefg | eduardo: you got a link in your browsers address-bar... paste that here, so i can find it | 00:03 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | no, XXarmory555XX | 00:03 |
|---|
| semi-newb | unop: ok | 00:03 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | not unless they have a textreader | 00:03 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: no | 00:03 |
|---|
| ShadowdogKGB | woo hooo! | 00:03 |
|---|
| unop | individual_elev, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 00:03 |
|---|
| eduardo | stefg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61688/ | 00:03 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | text reader? wut?? | 00:03 |
|---|
| soundray | Shai: that usually means that it's loaded before blacklisting takes an effect, ie. from initramfs | 00:03 |
|---|
| valros | OK thanks | 00:03 |
|---|
| stefg | eduardo: ok, wait a second | 00:03 |
|---|
| Shai | Soundray, I'll look into initramfs......thanks. | 00:04 |
|---|
| individual_elev | thanks unop! | 00:04 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | why do i need a text reader for? | 00:04 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | we usually don't hear text | 00:04 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61671/ <-- relevant dmesg lines | 00:04 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | if we wanted to, we would use a text/screenreader | 00:04 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | oh ok lol i get it sorry lol | 00:04 |
|---|
| unop | Shai, also make sure the module isnt explicitly loaded in /etc/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/* | 00:04 |
|---|
| Shai | it's not, already checked | 00:04 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | tonsofpcs can u help me? | 00:04 |
|---|
| Piffer | If I have a SATA drive not mounted, is there a way I can find out what filesystem it has? | 00:04 |
|---|
| ShadowdogKGB | Ubuntu is really neat. Some day I'll figure out how to make this Lexmark Z1300 printer work. | 00:05 |
|---|
| unop | Shai, how about? /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 00:05 |
|---|
| soundray | Piffer: with the 'file' command | 00:05 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | XXarmory555XX: with what? | 00:05 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: what does that ZOOM mean? is that a ZOOM hd2 or hd $? | 00:05 |
|---|
| Shai | idk, just heard of initramfs......researching it now. | 00:05 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: what does that ZOOM mean? is that a ZOOM hd2 or hd 4? | 00:05 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | ok i tryed to reinstall ubuntu and for some reason i cant | 00:05 |
|---|
| Piffer | file command... I'll google that | 00:05 |
|---|
| unop | Shai, if another module is causing your lirc module to fail at loading, you might need to blacklist that module too -- but that means, you have to know the consequences of blacklisting that particular module | 00:06 |
|---|
| ShadowdogKGB | :) | 00:06 |
|---|
| stefg | eduardo: ok, so your installed system should be in /media/hdc1.. is that right? | 00:06 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: zoom is the brand... it's an HD16 multitrack hdd recorder | 00:06 |
|---|
| Shai | unop, it's irda, smsc_ircc2 and one other....I'm not worried abotu it. | 00:06 |

| === silverdawn_ is now known as SilverDawn |
| Odd-rationale | Is there a way to make the dhcp server give me a different ip address? | 00:06 |
|---|
| soundray | Piffer: hold on :) | 00:07 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | release/renew | 00:07 |
|---|
| soundray | Piffer: example: 'sudo file -s /dev/sda1' | 00:07 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | huh? | 00:07 |
|---|
| unop | Shai, well, hope we've given you enough to get this sorted | 00:07 |
|---|
| eduardo | stefg, right. | 00:07 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: hehe ... funny as the world is, i work for the german zoom distributor. I doubt that it is HID compatible | 00:07 |
|---|
| ShadowdogKGB | One thing Ubuntu has taught me is to have massive amounts of patience. | 00:07 |
|---|
| Shai | unop, it's enough for me to find out if it is ;) | 00:07 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | thanks carbonflux :) | 00:07 |
|---|
| Piffer | siundray: thanks! that was easy :-) | 00:07 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: that's pretty crazy lol | 00:08 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, you'll need to tell the DHCP server to give out a different IP address | 00:08 |
|---|
| semi-newb | unop: woohoo! my system still works! thanks so much for your help! | 00:08 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | :( | 00:08 |
|---|
| soundray | !yay | semi-newb | 00:08 |
|---|
| ubotu | semi-newb: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:08 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | Carbonflux: it says command not found | 00:08 |
|---|
| mactaylor | will ubuntu be faster if i put an le-1640 in? | 00:08 |
|---|
| unop | semi-newb, cool, glad to know :) | 00:08 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | tonsofpcs r u gunna help me plz | 00:08 |
|---|
| soundray | unop: wow, well done | 00:08 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | XXarmory555XX: with what? | 00:08 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: In other words, you mean I need to do it from the server, not from my laptop? | 00:08 |
|---|
| unop | soundray, :) | 00:08 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | reinstalling my ubuntu? i asked u like 4 times already | 00:08 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, pretty much yea, but it depends on your DHCP server tho | 00:08 |
|---|
| Shai | unop, nope, not listed in initramf-tools/modules | 00:08 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: what makes you think it wouldn't be compatible? does zoom suck at computer interfaces? | 00:09 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | carbonflux: when i do -dxlevel 80 it says command not found | 00:09 |
|---|
| Carbonflux | utarpradesh, you have to put that command line option on the hl2.exe command line, if you are running thru steam you need to set the command line via properties for the game. | 00:09 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: or just standards compliance :D | 00:09 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: So it *might* be possible to do it from my laptop? | 00:09 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | tonsofpcs reinstalling my ubuntu? i asked u like 4 times already | 00:09 |

| SilverDawn | Hello, Im trying to get my C-Media CMI8738 working properly under ubuntu linux, For some reason im not getting sound from the central speaker, Yet the card supports 5.1 surround sound and my speakers are a 5.1 system. any ideas? | 00:09 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | i see | 00:09 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | okay thks | 00:09 |
|---|
| soundray | XXarmory555XX: you keep asking and ignoring the replies | 00:09 |
|---|
| Carbonflux | utarpradesh, http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_line | 00:09 |
|---|
| stefg | eduardo: so i need a paste of /media/hdc1/boot/grub/menu.lst in pastebin, along with a listing of 'sudo blkid' | 00:09 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | huh? i dint get any reply? | 00:09 |
|---|
| soundray | XXarmory555XX: yeah, you were just too absorbed | 00:10 |
|---|
| utarpradesh | thank you a lot, friend. | 00:10 |
|---|
| unop | Shai, well how about doing a grep in /etc/modprobe.d for those rogue modules -- grep -iER "irda|ircc" /etc/modprobe.d/ | 00:10 |
|---|
| Carbonflux | :) | 00:10 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | soundray oh..sry... | 00:10 |
|---|
| soundray | XXarmory555XX: the way to reinstall ubuntu is to boot from an install CD and run the installer | 00:10 |
|---|
| eduardo | stefg. can you join nixtutor for just a sec? | 00:10 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, as far as i know, there is no way a DHCP client can request that kind of control over a DHCP server, in other words, the DHCP client has to accept the address it is given | 00:10 |
|---|
| alan_m | you will lose everything unless you backed it up XXarmory555XX by doing this...as you start with a clean slate. | 00:11 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: they run a custom OS they run, and they might have found a hackish way to make the device work with win, but this is of course no run-of-the-mill harddisk or mass storage | 00:11 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | soundray ok i tryed that i put the installer cd in the disk drive and booted but nothing any diffrent happend and im aware of that thats wut i want | 00:11 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: ok. what about a static ip? how would I know what numbers to put for a staic ip? | 00:11 |
|---|
| soundray | alan_m: you can do a non-destructive reinstall if you skip the formatting of partitions ( XXarmory555XX) | 00:11 |
|---|
| alan_m | XXarmory555XX, just making sure you were aware, ok :) | 00:11 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: that figures... | 00:12 |
|---|
| alan_m | soundray, thats with the alternate install cd though correct? | 00:12 |
|---|
| soundray | XXarmory555XX: I don't follow you. What happens when you boot the installer? | 00:12 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: i wonder if it'll work through control surface mode with ardour... i haven't tried that yet, but it supposedly can work by emulating mackie control modes.... | 00:12 |
|---|
| Carbonflux | utarpradesh, one more thing, be sure you are really the latest stable version of wine for best results, a lot of people get this working just by installing wine from the ubuntu repos and installing Steam and thats its, the only issue now seems to be using DirectX 8 because DX9 shaders are slow in wine :) | 00:12 |
|---|
| Carbonflux | really using* | 00:13 |
|---|
| soundray | alan_m: no, it works with the ubiquity installer, too, if you uncheck the formatting tickbox | 00:13 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, the only thing that diffferentiates a static IP from a dynamic one is the fact that a static one is manually assigned to an interface .. however, if you do assign an IP address to an interface, your DHCP server should take into account that the address is in use and not give that particular one out to other clients | 00:13 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | soundray ok its like puting a cd with nothing on it it does nothing its starts normaly and goes to the login screen and stuff it dose everything it supose to do on regualr boot | 00:13 |
|---|
| alan_m | ah, i just do the standard install, i hardly ever do manual soundray, ill have to check that out sometime. | 00:13 |
|---|
| Shai | unop just my blacklisted entries and something for and alias for irda-utils (has been uninstalled). I'm going to try something else first. | 00:14 |
|---|
| soundray | XXarmory555XX: so it's not booting from the CD. You need to give the CD boot priority in your BIOS setup | 00:14 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: hmm. ok let me experiment a bit... Thanks for the help! | 00:14 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, but that's only if the machine is on, if the machine is off and the address can't be pinged, then the DHCP server could give out that address | 00:14 |
|---|
| * Shai gets hammer | 00:14 |
| mc-george | Guys, for some reason any window in ubuntu doesn't start maximized even though I set them all to that before I close them | 00:14 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: ok. I know almost zero about networking lol | 00:14 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: any idea if zoom has been shipping the newer OS version on the HD16s? | 00:14 |
|---|
| * soundray throws himself heroically in front of Shai's computer | 00:14 |
| XXarmory555XX | soundray o so i eed to go to BIOS got it and wut do i do from there? do i set as boot from cd first? | 00:15 |
|---|
| * User87971 waves hi to everyone! | 00:15 |
| semi-newb | XXarmory555XX: you can also press delete or F12 or F10 (depending on the notice that comes up at boot) to choose what device to boot from on a one-time basis. | 00:15 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, ok, well, if you do manually assign an address to an interface, there is a chance that you can get IP address conflicts on your network | 00:15 |
|---|
| alan_m | !hi | User87971 | 00:15 |
|---|
| ubotu | User87971: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:15 |
|---|
| soundray | semi-newb: only with Phoenix BIOSs though ;) | 00:15 |
|---|
| stefg | mDemocritus: no, sorry... didn't have the opportunity to actually open one of the boxes | 00:15 |
|---|
| semi-newb | every computer I've ever used supports this | 00:15 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | semi-newb lol | 00:15 |
|---|
| alan_m | What might we help you with today User87971? | 00:15 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | stefg: eh, no prob... it was worth a shot | 00:16 |
|---|
| User87971 | Nothing really, just re-installed ubuntu on one of my computers, it's running great. =) | 00:16 |
|---|
| soundray | semi-newb: then all the computers you've ever used had a Phoenix BIOS | 00:16 |
|---|
| milesmatthias | I'm trying to get libpcap for my ubuntu box but tcpdump.org is down... any suggestions? | 00:17 |
|---|
| alan_m | So, just testing it out then User87971? I see :) | 00:17 |
|---|
| XXarmory555XX | soundray ok i just relized how to i enter BIOS on ubuntu is it the same as it would be on any other comp like f2 or sumthing? | 00:17 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: so if on another computer the dhcp server gives me ip address 1.2.3.4 Can I use that as a static ip address on this computer and the dhcp server will have to give another address to the other comp? | 00:17 |
|---|
| nef | server irc.x10hosting.com | 00:17 |
|---|
| semi-newb | soundray: i'd assume it's pretty common then. | 00:17 |
|---|
| soundray | XXarmory555XX: the BIOS comes with your computer, it's not part of Ubuntu | 00:17 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | e.g. 1.2.3.5 | 00:17 |
|---|
| unop | milesmatthias, you can install the libpcap0.8 package | 00:17 |
|---|
| User87971 | The very first linux I have used was Red Hat linux back in the 90's. Now the distro is Fedora core I believe. | 00:17 |
|---|
| soundray | semi-newb: indeed, but I have a few machines, including recent ones, with AMI BIOSes | 00:18 |
|---|
| milesmatthias | sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8? | 00:18 |
|---|
| Shai | Nope, I'm out of ideas. | 00:18 |
|---|
| mc-george | can some one please help me with my maximizing problem? | 00:18 |
|---|
| Shai | Say, when I do add stuff to blacklist, I don't have to update.modprobe or whatever do I? | 00:18 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, the other computer will need to request a new IP address from the DHCP server otherwise a conflict will continue to exist on your network and both computers could get nowhere | 00:18 |
|---|
| Aval0n | where there any performance improvements from feisty to gutsy? | 00:19 |
|---|
| Nith | mc-george: whats the issue? | 00:19 |
|---|
| soundray | mc-george: you need to look into a package like devilspie for remembering window size settings | 00:19 |
|---|
| soundray | !info devilspie | 00:19 |
|---|
| unop | milesmatthias, sure | 00:19 |
|---|
| Nith | e16 has that feature | 00:19 |
|---|
| mc-george | soundtrayL its because they always appear off the screen | 00:19 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: will the dhcp automatically give a new ip address on the other computer since I'm already using the old on this one? | 00:20 |
|---|
| soundray | mc-george: strange, have you set a correct resolution? | 00:20 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | *dhcp server | 00:20 |
|---|
| danny_ | How do you change your defualt program associations? | 00:20 |
|---|
| milesmatthias | unop, it's already installed but it must not be in a normal place because I can't configure snort | 00:20 |
|---|
| mc-george | yea, 1680*1050 < --- soundray | 00:20 |
|---|
| unop | Odd-rationale, no, the DHCP server has no way of knowing you've done what you've done -- the DHCP server only acts when asked to, so the other machine will need to be rebooted or have it's network interface flapped | 00:20 |
|---|
| DeadLy_sp_ | is possible change the background image from bash????????????? | 00:21 |
|---|
| alan_m | DeadLy_sp_, yes it is, but i forget the command to do it. | 00:21 |
|---|
| __mikem | DeadLy_sp_, is it possible to press the ? key only once? | 00:21 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | unop: ok. Thanks a lot! | 00:21 |
|---|
| milesmatthias | unop, do you know where ubuntu installs libpcap? | 00:21 |
|---|
| unop | milesmatthias, why don't you install snort from the ubuntu repositories? | 00:21 |
|---|
| robert___1111 | i took an image with vmware converter and tried to run it on vmware player... i get errors like cannot connect to ide0 and ide1.. is there something i need to do to make this work? | 00:22 |
|---|
| DeadLy_sp_ | hehe alan_m _mikem it's more important for me :) i'm searching on google but i dont find info about ir | 00:22 |
|---|
| soundray | robert___1111: probably better to ask in #vmware | 00:22 |
|---|
| LainIwakura | How do I view system information via the command line (my OS for example)? | 00:22 |
|---|
| unop_ | milesmatthias, i'm assuming it saves it's shared libraries in /usr/lib/pcap (or something like that under /usr/lib) | 00:23 |
|---|
| DeadLy_sp_ | alan_m, please remember ^^ | 00:23 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: uname -a | 00:23 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: lspci, lshw, lsusb... | 00:23 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 00:23 |
|---|
| LainIwakura | soundray: Thanks | 00:23 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: lsb_release | 00:23 |
|---|
| milesmatthias | unop, thanks. I've already started installing snort from source code - where are the ubuntu repositories if i were to do that? | 00:24 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | milesmatthias: if you have source enabled in your repositories, you could also run sudo apt-get build-dep snort and it should install libcap for you, then you can comnpile as usual.. but i'd use the one in the repos | 00:24 |
|---|
| unop_ | milesmatthias, sudo apt-get install snort :) | 00:24 |

| LainIwakura | I created a user using adduser <username>. Using su <username> I can switch to that user from root. But why can I not 'sudo apt-get install <package>' from the non-root user? Sudo prompts me for the <username>'s pw instead of the root--is this the problem? | 00:26 |
|---|
| LainIwakura | I find that I can only install packages via 'apt-get install <package>' when I am the root user. | 00:27 |
|---|
| alan_m | DeadLy_sp_, I cant, you can definately look it up in google though | 00:27 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: no, sudo is supposed to ask for the user password | 00:27 |
|---|
| unop_ | DeadLy_sp_, gconftool-2 -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/picture | 00:27 |
|---|
| LainIwakura | soundray: Would 'su apt-get install <package>' work from the non-root user then? | 00:27 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: for a user to be able to run sudo programs, the user has to be in the admin group. | 00:27 |
|---|
| LainIwakura | soundray: How can I assign that user to the admin group? | 00:27 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | LainIwakura: su -C apt-get...etc is the one | 00:27 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | LainIwakura: or su -c | 00:28 |
|---|
| ijustam | just chiming in to say how i love linux | 00:28 |
|---|
| Shai | LainIwakura - you can edit the sudoer's file so it doesn't ask for apassword. | 00:28 |
|---|
| ijustam | ;) | 00:28 |
|---|
| soundray | LainIwakura: do a 'adduser username admin' | 00:28 |
|---|
| unop_ | LainIwakura, if you used sudo -- yes .. dont use su.. ubuntu has no root password | 00:28 |
|---|
| mDemocritus | LainIwakura: unop_ is right.... nevermind | 00:28 |

| LainIwakura | soundray: Ubuntu 7.10 | 00:29 |

| Shai | soundray - will do | 00:29 |

| LainIwakura | mattyB_: Oh my, 'man: command not found'. I need to install this... | 00:34 |

| Scunizi | jarlath, you have to get information from your calendar on google.. namely a sharing link .. usually webcal.something.something. .. this is the link you use to "add" the web calendar to Evo. | 01:12 |

| ubotu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 01:12 |
|---|
| smick2112 | I believe this is the same problem when installing Ubuntu in the first place and it says grub cannot install. could my partition be locked out somehow? | 01:13 |
|---|
| unop_ | arnath, dont use cat like that -- simply use grep -- grep -inHR keyword files | 01:13 |
|---|
| jarlath | Scunizi, I tried that. I tried using the default Google dialog in Evo to put in my username / pass and just got my default calendar... | 01:13 |

| yordan | 150mb xD | 01:13 |
|---|
| jarlath | Then I tried using the webcal with the iCal link from google. | 01:13 |
|---|
| yordan | it this right ? | 01:13 |
|---|
| jarlath | Evo complained that it couldn't find that. | 01:13 |
|---|
| Scunizi | jarlath, you mean the main calendar? do you have more than one cal? | 01:13 |
|---|
| yordan | for a 3d desktop ? | 01:13 |
|---|
| jarlath | Scunizi, yes. I have two calendars on the one account. | 01:14 |
|---|
| Scunizi | jarlath, then it sounds like you grabbed the link for the primary and did get the one for the secondary.. | 01:14 |
|---|
| kindofabuzz | yordan: compiz is more than just a rotating cube | 01:14 |
|---|
| jarlath | Scunizi, when I used the link for the secondary, it didn't work. I'll try again just in case. | 01:15 |
|---|
| jarlath | Scunizi, do you have more than one calendar? | 01:15 |

|---|
| smick2112 | yeah that was a few days ago. I gave up, but today tried again, experimenting by actually creating a swap partition this time and then installing grub to a different spot. | 01:27 |
|---|
| Scunizi | juice_, are you running ubuntu in a VM? if so what VM program.. VMware? | 01:27 |
|---|
| juice_ | Scunizi: VMware workstation | 01:27 |
|---|
| torenhonig | smick: well what version of ubuntu are u trying to insatll 7.10? | 01:27 |
|---|
| terminhell | torenhonig: at the final step before installing, there is an "advanced" button to configure where grub is to be installed. by default its (hd0) review the accuracy of this if your using an SCSI drive or something else | 01:27 |

|---|
| terminhell | if i disable my GDM ill get a terminal login right? But after i log in will i stay in a terminal or will X startup (default gutsy install) | 01:28 |
|---|
| Scunizi | juice_, that's your issue.. you can't run a propitiatory video driver in a VM. VMware uses its own drivers.. Have you installed VMWare tools? | 01:28 |
|---|
| brambo | there is another release, newer then 7.10 ? | 01:28 |

|---|
| juice_ | Scunizi: no not yet, can i use VM tools to do it? | 01:29 |
|---|

| Scunizi | xenthro, do yourself a favor and install xchat.. | 01:29 |

|---|
| xenthro | Scunizi: I use it as well, but I am trying to cut down on redundancy | 01:29 |
|---|
| Scunizi | juice_, don't missunderstand.. you'll never be able to install that driver in ubuntu as long as ubuntu is running in a VM | 01:29 |
|---|
| torenhonig | what kind of cammands were you using? | 01:30 |
|---|
| juice_ | Scunizi: WEAK! | 01:30 |

| izinucs | LDS_Trooper, it will support it now.. just that you have to install the binary from nvidia.. in the interim he can use the generic nv driver or install the next versions beta download.. it's pretty complete but occationally breaks with updates then gets fixed the next day or so. | 02:11 |

|---|
| ethan961 | aaron_, but only if you are ABSOLUTELY sure you already have them installed | 02:57 |
|---|
| fink | how do i setup networked printers that are via samba? | 02:57 |
|---|
| nikrud | eduardo then apps->accessories->terminal, type gksudo gparted | 02:57 |
|---|
| aaron_ | that is what my terminal says | 02:57 |
|---|
| aaron_ | and I have another operating system so I can always boot to that | 02:57 |
|---|
| Zoem | blackwaltz, how do I check if the module is loaded? | 02:58 |

|---|
| Zoem | anyone have any idea how to install modules for ad1988b audio? | 02:58 |

| kingtech | nikrud i dont undrstand | 02:58 |
|---|

|---|
| eduardo | nikrud, done | 02:59 |
|---|
| Pelo | kingtech, type /nickserv register help and you well get instrucitons on registering your nick to the netwrok , so you cna then have private msg with ppl | 02:59 |
|---|
| fink | B-Rabbit: mayb e you should just put in the rejection hotline number if your so concerned? | 02:59 |
|---|
| ethan961 | aaron_, ctl-alt-bkspace, that will restart x and close everyhin | 02:59 |
|---|
| nikrud | kingtech simply type: /msg nickserv register <yourpasswordhere> What that does is make your nick owned by you, no one else whenever you log in | 02:59 |
|---|
| aaron_ | okay | 02:59 |

|---|
| nikrud | eduardo ok, you see all your partitions there, right? Of course. Now, you should consider having 3 partitions at least, one for swap, one for / , and one for /home | 03:01 |
|---|
| brambo | LjL: this is basically doing like a reinstall of the operating system? | 03:01 |
|---|
| Pelo | sirjoebob, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:01 |
|---|

Otherwise I get the same error as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4613134&postcount=1 . Any ideas on how to find the culprit program? Also, if I create a new user it logs in fine. | 03:01 |

| madmaxmad | anyone heard any news about it running on linux ? | 03:02 |
|---|
| Pelo | brent113, did you try doing a forum search onwith the erroe msg ? www.ubuntuforums.org ? | 03:02 |

| nikrud | brent113 try sudo apt-get remove --purge <that package> , that will get rid of that file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/39keytouch-acpid | 03:02 |

|---|
| aaron_ | I still can enable desktop effects | 03:03 |

| nikrud | brent113 the real problem is the last line | 03:03 |

| sirjoebob | danbhfive, I disabled it and now i cant re-enable/reinstall | 03:13 |

| nikrud | FFForever you should check with #ubuntu+1, see if anyone knows if it's fixed. and http::/gtkpod.org has the stuff to compile | 03:13 |
|---|
| un0p | valros, use the !pastebin (dont paste in here) and show the exact command and output you see | 03:13 |
|---|
| smick002 | I finally got ubuntu running and then the video resolution problem. | 03:13 |
|---|
| un0p | FFForever, i'll say again, add this line to your sources.list - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ipod-touch/ubuntu gutsy main | 03:14 |

|---|
| ant- | ha | 03:48 |

| realcoolguy | no, install worked fine several times before. For some reason it's looking for bluetooth now, and i don't want it to try and start bluetooth | 03:48 |
|---|
| Scientus | what does that mean | 03:48 |
|---|
| Scientus | ok | 03:49 |

| bwlang | realcoolguy: it may or may not have something to do with bluetooth... try booting into single user mode | 03:49 |
|---|
| Sl4y3r | nickrud might i pm you? | 03:49 |

| realcoolguy | bwlang: how would i boot to single user mode? | 03:50 |
|---|
| d0lphin_n0el | bazhang i try but looks it not works very well :x | 03:50 |
|---|
| realcoolguy | bwlang: the laptop has no bluetooth in it either... | 03:50 |
|---|
| bwlang | realcoolguy: bluetooth might be a red herring... to boot to single user mode you need to press escape at the prompt before the screen that's displayed during boot to show the menu, you can chose it from that menu. | 03:51 |

| bwlang | realcoolguy(after booting to single user mode) | 03:55 |
|---|
| realcoolguy | bwlang: ok thanks, i can get into the root terminal, just wasn't sure what to do from there | 03:55 |
|---|
| valros | ok im sorry for the cussing but this is pissing me off, i cant get a working curses library | 03:55 |
|---|
| bwlang | realcoolguy: but i doubt that will fix your problem. | 03:55 |
|---|
| realcoolguy | bwlang: actually, i tried something and the fix worked, so we're all good now, edited the startup in grub, added --no bluetooth and i'm at the login screen now | 03:55 |
|---|
| hughw | Scunizi, Thx so far. I have the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver" enabled and working. If I try to change the "visual effects" a cryptic error message pops up that tells me that it cannot enable it. Is there an error log I can check somewhere? | 03:56 |

| nikrud | Camirrakiu you need the dev version of a library to compile things | 04:07 |

| tarelerulz | when you remove a program via the add/remove on Ubuntu's menu does it remove the package that go with the program? | 04:37 |

| rockstar_ | I would just set it up through fstab, but it's my buddy doing it, and he's a windows guy. | 04:38 |

| windowshasyou | anyone in here have much luck installing nvidia's drivers without envy? or using the precompiled stuff? it keeps screwing my xorg file over | 04:38 |

| bcgrown | windowshasyou: i have installed the legacy nvidia drivers with synaptic no problem... but maybe you aren't in the stone age... | 04:39 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Scientus, You can manually edit xorg.conf, for basic video mouse etc. but you seem to have other issues | 05:10 |
|---|
| WaxyFresh | brambo | !java | 05:10 |
|---|
| jappdev | bcgrown: sorry i've never used that client | 05:10 |
|---|
| onefunk | osxdude, thank goodness, i've been looking for a while. so it opens up and i can see the main control panel, and then when i click start it won't start and i get an error message. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61707/ any tips? | 05:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !webmin | 05:10 |

| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 05:10 |
|---|
| Djmack | whats up with the !fstab !pastebin "!" | 05:10 |
|---|
| unop__ | dimitree, errm .. perhaps this then -- gksudo nautilus $HOME/.Trash | 05:10 |
|---|
| osxdude | Scientus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package-name> | 05:10 |
|---|
| Scientus | its just on getting my usbhd/pci-usb2.0 card to work | 05:10 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | Scientus, You can rebuild many configuration files with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a -phigh", but I wouldn't do it except as a way to avoid re-install | 05:10 |
|---|
| jason_ | ware can i find skydome immage for gusty gibbon? | 05:10 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop_, nope ... ; ( | 05:10 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | Scientus, That will take a long time and ask questions of you by the way | 05:11 |
|---|
| bcgrown | jappdev: well i got essentially the same result with Transmission, and whatever the default client in Ubuntu 7.10 is | 05:11 |
|---|
| unop__ | dimitree, bahh -- gksudo nautilus /home/<yourusername>/.Trash | 05:11 |
|---|
| brambo | Is there a code to get the latest Java and have Terminal do it? Excuse a n00b question here please | 05:11 |
|---|
| jappdev | oh, well, are you comparing the same torrents? | 05:11 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop_, nope again :/ | 05:12 |

| Scientus | which package might be responsible for usb/pci-setup---i though that was part of the kernel?? | 05:12 |
|---|
| onefunk | osxdude, same goes for other audio softs i'm running, they error msg me that jack is not set up. | 05:12 |
|---|
| bcgrown | jappdev: no but all the ones i have tried have had lots and lots of seeds. i.e. close to 1000 for the one i'm trying now and getting 2kB/s | 05:12 |

| jason_ | ! skydome | 05:12 |

| unop__ | dimitree, you've got something really wrong there -- that should work, i've just tested it out | 05:12 |

|---|
| dimitree | btw i have no root/.trash ( show hidden enabled, sudo nautilus) | 05:13 |
|---|
| LainIwakura | Is 'shutdown -r' the same thing as 'telinit 6'? man shutdown seems to say that | 05:13 |
|---|
| osxdude | onefunk, hmm... are you sure jack is running? | 05:13 |
|---|
| unop__ | dimitree, could be -- maybe you could do this .. sudo -s; cd /home/<yourusername>/.Trash; nautilus .; | 05:14 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop_, is there a separate trash for the normal user and for root ? | 05:14 |
|---|
| jappdev | bcgrown: if your client isn't setting bandwidth limits, and you don't have a firewall blocking the connections, i don't think i can be of much help, sorry. anyone else? | 05:14 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | dimitree, yes, as I mentioned above.. seperate trash | 05:14 |
|---|
| unop__ | dimitree, if that wont work - sudo -s; cd /home/<yourusername>/.Trash; rm "stubborn file's name"; | 05:14 |
|---|
| unop__ | dimitree, yes, indeed | 05:14 |
|---|
| wd | just installed irssi.. shouldn't it be in my net folder? i had to invoke it with a term. | 05:14 |

| Ubunt1 | which repositories should I add to my ubuntu? | 05:14 |
|---|
| unop__ | dimitree, fyi, the above is not one one command but steps you should take | 05:15 |
|---|
| bazhang | !gutsysources | Ubunt1 | 05:15 |
|---|
| ubotu | Ubunt1: 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). | 05:15 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubunt1, enable all except proposed and backports | 05:15 |
|---|
| Scientus | you can do it as one command though with the semicolons | 05:15 |
|---|
| unop__ | Scientus, not this one -- because of how sudo is used there | 05:16 |
|---|
| Scientus | ahh | 05:16 |
|---|
| brambo | Jordan_U: is there a easy way to install it through terminal? I can't make heads or tails of the link that was sent above... | 05:16 |
|---|
| Scientus | >can i build a network in vmware and then deploy it to servers???? and what would i use to do that---would changing them to physical servers kill-them, could they boot off real hardware after configuring/installing on virtual hardware | 05:16 |

| brambo | Jordan_U: I am on Ubuntu Gutsy 7,10 AMD 64bi | 05:17 |
|---|
| brambo | bit | 05:17 |

| unop | dimitree, i dunno then .. find out where the file is, use the command line and delete it | 05:19 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | dimitree, the dot means hidden so make sure you enable show hidden files etc | 05:19 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | brambo, There should be a utility within Firefox to install it | 05:19 |

| osxdude | ooh, onefunk I see the problem. jack is failing to load. use a different audio driver, I would suggest | 05:24 |
|---|
| unop | dimitree, browsing to trash after "sudo nautilus" isnt going to take you to the user's trash folder, it'll take you to roots | 05:24 |

| Scientus | and how do i so a terminal-only login with everything else enabled | 05:27 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop, when i click on the folder and do propertys in the trash it says Location trash:/// | 05:27 |
|---|
| unop | dimitree, just run the find command and you should find out where your trash folder is | 05:27 |
|---|
| CarlFK | what do I need to do to make that writable? (just my one user) | 05:27 |
|---|
| Djmack | can some one give me a list of sudo commands? like a site or something | 05:27 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop, so the folders location is trash:/// ??? where the hack is that | 05:27 |
|---|
| nyarly | unop, is he looking for a file or sumtin? | 05:28 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: at that link I see the images, is there something I do not have checked in my Software Sources window? | 05:28 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop, so the folders location is trash:/// ??? where the hack is that ? | 05:28 |
|---|
| jappdev | Djmack: sudo allows you to run a command as the 'super user' or root, so you can run almost any command with sudo to give it 'admin' rights | 05:28 |
|---|
| unop | dimitree, man, forget nautilus, it's crazy that way -- "trash://" isnt a real location on the harddrive | 05:28 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop, ok i willt ry to search the folder | 05:28 |
|---|
| Djmack | just want to know some commands | 05:29 |
|---|
| nyarly | dimitree are you looking for a file u searched for in nautilus? | 05:29 |
|---|
| Djmack | i understand that sudo is full access | 05:29 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo:yes the bottom item, it has '(multiverse)' out to the side of it, make sure its checked | 05:29 |
|---|
| rafa_ | u guys looking for the trash loaction in nautilus? | 05:29 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: it is checked | 05:29 |
|---|
| onefunk | osxdude, wow the things i learn in a day. i tried the driver "dummy" (go figure) and it works thus far. thanks. cheers. | 05:30 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: then do an update (apt-get update) and try to install it again. btw, your running 7.10 right? | 05:30 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, how were you trying to mount when you got that message? | 05:30 |
|---|
| d_rwin | pls how to get wvdial in 7.10 cmd line syastem | 05:30 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: yeah ill try that...yeah im on 7.10 gutsy 64bit | 05:31 |
|---|
| unop | rafa_, we know how to get to the trash folder, just that dimitree doesnt seem to have the standard location | 05:31 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: $ mount /media/md0/ | 05:31 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, errm, only root can do that | 05:31 |
|---|
| nyarly | mkdir ~/.Trash ??? | 05:31 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: just apt-get update ? | 05:31 |
|---|
| jappdev | you'll need sudo apt-get update | 05:32 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, if you want users to mount that way, you need pmount | 05:32 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, best thing -- sudo mount -a | 05:32 |
|---|
| dimitree | unop, it was in /home/dimitree/.local/share/Trash/files/ lol :) deleted it with sudo nautilus :) thanks a million ! | 05:32 |
|---|
| unop | dimitree, bahh.. must be a hardy thing this new trash location | 05:32 |
|---|
| dimitree | yea >_> | 05:32 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6252/ | 05:33 |

| ethan961 | must be with the move to gvfs, this trash thing | 05:33 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: sudo mount /media/md0/ - still "cannot touch `/media/md0/x': Permission denied" | 05:33 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: doesn't the "user" option let a user mount it? | 05:34 |
|---|
| Djmack | so is there a list of commands anywhere? | 05:34 |
|---|
| rafa_ | I have the broadcom43xx wlan chipset and I tried the whole thing where u blacklist it and it started working but it won't pick up some networks | 05:34 |

| rafa_ | help? | 05:34 |
|---|
| refrax | why can't ubuntu run multiple instances of aptitude? | 05:34 |
|---|
| refrax | is there a way I can modify it to do so? | 05:34 |
|---|
| nyarly | Djmack, commands for what? | 05:34 |
|---|
| amenado | refrax perhaps no database locking? | 05:35 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: thats what I see after I did, sudo apt-get update | 05:35 |
|---|
| Djmack | sudo | 05:35 |
|---|
| refrax | amenado: what do you mean? | 05:35 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: i think that your issues is because you're using the 64bit version, i have a x86 and an x86_64 pc, and i just tried to install the plugin on the 64bit version and got the same error, while it works just fine on the 32bit pc. | 05:35 |
|---|
| amenado | refrax you know that dpkg uses a database right? so if you have multiple users trying to modify the database..what will happen? | 05:35 |
|---|
| nyarly | Djmack, what are you trying to run? sudo lets you run a command as root | 05:35 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: I think I have ran into this problem before, is there anyway to go to 32bit without losing everything? | 05:36 |
|---|
| nyarly | !sudo |Djmack | 05:36 |
|---|
| ubotu | Djmack: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 05:36 |
|---|
| unop | dimitree, you could change " rw,user,auto,exec,defaults" to "rw,defaults" since defaults includes the others anyway | 05:36 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, ^^ | 05:36 |
|---|
| unop | sorry dimitree | 05:36 |
|---|
| dimitree | npz :) | 05:36 |
|---|
| refrax | amenado: I am only using it, is it possible to allow multiple instances | 05:36 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, what happens when you try -- sudo mount -a | 05:36 |
|---|
| unop | ? | 05:36 |
|---|
| amenado | refrax you didnt answer my question, what would happen to the database if several process trying to modify it? | 05:37 |
|---|
| refrax | amenado: I don't know | 05:37 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: still "Permission denied" | 05:37 |
|---|
| amenado | refrax and thats the reason why only one access to it at a time should be allowed | 05:38 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: basically you can't do as much with 64 bit? | 05:38 |
|---|
| unop | refrax, how many drivers can a car have? what happens if a car has 2 or more drivers? :) | 05:38 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo:well, some packages are not compiled for 64bit | 05:38 |
|---|
| nyarly | like taking a road trip with m,y mother in law | 05:38 |
|---|
| refrax | amenado: I just don't understand why it isn't possible, if windows can run multiple instances of windows installer. | 05:38 |
|---|
| Kles | Any way to get ActiveX stuff to work through Wine? | 05:38 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, does /media/md0 exist? | 05:38 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: yes | 05:38 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: flash, wine and java are the big problems | 05:38 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: hm yes i have had problems with Wine also... | 05:39 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, does it have anything under it? ls /media/md0/* | 05:39 |
|---|
| nyarly | refrax why does this matter? just curious, is there a deeper meaning behind all of this? | 05:39 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: before or after I mount /dev/md0? | 05:39 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: the issue is fixed in hardy, and there are some work arounds, but most are quite involved and rely on using alpha software | 05:39 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: flash recently has not been giving me much trouble | 05:39 |
|---|
| amenado | refrax i already told you, only one process can lock the database so it does not get spoiled | 05:39 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, well, it doeant appear that it's mounted .. but before | 05:39 |
|---|
| refrax | nyarly: yes, I can't install anything until updates are done, and they take quite a while. | 05:39 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: am I able to upgrade to another version of ubuntu without losing much of my setup here? | 05:40 |
|---|
| nyarly | refrax, u just install?? | 05:40 |
|---|
| amenado | refrax i think you have to learn to be patient instead :) | 05:40 |
|---|
| unop | refrax, windows installer also does not let you run multiple version of the installer, it just depends on what the installer is doing to be liberal enough | 05:40 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: nothing before. it does get mounted, ls /media/md0/ = lost+found | 05:40 |
|---|
| legend2440 | Kles: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page | 05:40 |
|---|
| nyarly | i agree be patient man | 05:40 |
|---|
| refrax | unop: I can install skype and photoshop cs3 at the same time? | 05:40 |
|---|
| refrax | I have no problem with ubuntu, or linux at all, I love it, I use it for my servers and some home pc's, this has just been bothering me | 05:41 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: yes, the safest way to do that is to back up your home directory, and then do a clean install of the version you want, then copy your home directory back | 05:41 |
|---|
| nyarly | refrax u can string togehter the whole repository if you wished and it would crunch away to install it all, much like your update that is running right now | 05:41 |
|---|
| unop | refrax, well, technically you shouldnt do that, and with some new versions of the installer, you cannot do that -- like installing m$ office and wmp at the same time, wont happen | 05:41 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: where can I find more info on hardy? is it any different looking etc? | 05:41 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: and that will keep all of your settings, preferences and files, as long as you've been saving the them in your home directory like you should | 05:41 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: oh you mean like write my stuff to a CD etc? | 05:42 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, so there is something under there? | 05:42 |
|---|
| Scientus | how do you exclude packages wehen you dpkg-reconfigure | 05:42 |
|---|
| Scientus | -a | 05:42 |
|---|
| CarlFK | unop: once I mount it, yes | 05:42 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: i've been running the pre-release versions and its ok, it won't be offically released until april though so if your ok living on the edge for a few weeks, you can upgrade | 05:42 |
|---|
| Scientus | i cant figure it out with man | 05:42 |
|---|
| brambo | jappdev: I'm pretty new to Linux in general still, I'm not sure where alot of things have been saving...:-S | 05:42 |
|---|
| unop | CarlFK, so it gets mounted? but where is this permission problem coming from? | 05:42 |
|---|
| mechanicalchris | Im trying to make my screen display go vertical. In XP i go properties>settings> etc. How do i do it in Ubuntu? | 05:43 |
|---|
| jappdev | brambo: the default is your home directory, so unless you've gone out of your way to put it somehere else, its there, as far as backing up, a CD or a external hard drive is your best bet, depending on how much stuff you have | 05:43 |
|---|

|---|
| fbc | Nasra, the client is so small (500K) you can even run it from a USB memory stick. So you don't need to install it into any computer if you don't want to. | 06:14 |

| bazhang | RoAkSoAx: not much for gui myself; maybe someone else here can help with that | 06:14 |

| unop | Smegzor, it's likely that no one knew the answer to your questions? not everyone in here is a know-it-all | 06:20 |

| kindofabuzz | Smegzor: alot of people are busy with other people, irc isn't exactly instant help sometimes | 06:20 |
|---|
| Smegzor | I have 2 broken bits in Ubuntu atm. my network always requires the ip changed before I can go online (every boot up) and I don't know how to fix it.. | 06:20 |

| fbc | Nasra, yes, your home folder is like your users directory.. it is wholely yours... | 06:20 |

| Smegzor | yeah I know that but its a common theme | 06:20 |

| Smegzor | the other major break is I cannot change my wallpaper in gnome, not even with the gnome tool for doing that. | 06:21 |

| Nasra | fbc...how would you compare wine in windows ? type =.. | 06:21 |
|---|
| vino-served | hasta luego | 06:22 |
|---|
| lxuser | anyone? | 06:22 |
|---|
| kindofabuzz | Smegzor: so your wallpaper problem is more important than the network one? =) | 06:22 |
|---|
| unop | lxuser, see what directory /dev/sda1 was mounted under -- type 'mount' at a terminal | 06:22 |
|---|
| fbc | Nasra, I would say its the closest thing with out the spyware... | 06:22 |
|---|
| Smegzor | I suspect with the network problem, I need to ignore the ubuntu gui tool and look at the config directly, but where is it and whats it called? | 06:22 |
|---|
| nikrud | mechanicalchris hm. I'm messing with it here, had it work before ... | 06:22 |
|---|
| kindofabuzz | Smegzor: what kind of network are you on that it requires you to change your ip everytime? | 06:22 |
|---|
| fbc | nasra, goodnight I must go.. | 06:22 |
|---|
| lxuser | unop, how do i do that? | 06:22 |
|---|
| Smegzor | i have a wired network with a fixed ip | 06:23 |
|---|
| vino-served | do a #df -h" | 06:23 |
|---|
| amenado | lxuser-> type mount and it should show where it is mounted | 06:23 |
|---|
| Nasra | fbc..nice talking you very helpfull | 06:23 |
|---|
| LadyNikon | where does the vim backgrounds go? | 06:23 |
|---|
| nyarly | Smezgor, is it wireless or wired? | 06:23 |

| chaos_ | it not in the list xfire is not in giam y????????????????????????????%C4 | 06:23 |
|---|
| tcpdumpgod | Smegzor: you need to look @ /var/log/syslog and /var/log/boot to see if something is happening w/eth0. | 06:23 |
|---|
| amenado | Smegzor-> look in /etc/network/interfaces | 06:23 |
|---|
| Smegzor | i don't know but simply editing the ip makes it 'wake up' and go online. not touching the network gui means I'm offline | 06:23 |
|---|
| Nasra | fbc....great | 06:23 |
|---|
| vino-served | do "df -h" to see if wich disks are really mounted | 06:23 |
|---|
| unop | lxuser, it can't be /dev/sda1 then -- it has to be something else | 06:23 |

| Daisuke_Ido | the & makes it run as a background process | 07:48 |

| punzada | Jay, you can install from a tar.gz on debian if you wish | 08:08 |
|---|
| _ruben | alecwh: not sure what they call it, but there's an option for "sending mail only" | 08:08 |
|---|
| punzada | but I would reccomend you get used to the debian 'apt-get' system | 08:08 |
|---|
| punzada | as it is *much* more beginner friendly | 08:08 |
|---|
| hischild_ | xaxxon: i've seen that before and the only solution i could find was to manually increase the amount of spawned processes. | 08:08 |
|---|
| punzada | install it by typing 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' in a terminal (without quotes) , it may ask you if the filesize to install is okay, answer yes and it should install it all for you without any further prompting | 08:09 |

| hischild_ | Plantain: can you explain a bit more? | 08:12 |
|---|
| ikonia | bullgard4: can you do a dpkg -c on the package ? | 08:12 |
|---|
| punzada | amorphous, the best things for you to do, is change the default port, and use an extremely secure password | 08:12 |
|---|
| hischild_ | amorphous: if you can use SSH tunnels, you can use NFS shares. | 08:13 |
|---|
| sayap_ikarus | phita | 08:13 |

| punzada | I don't think there is much else you can do in the way of further securing an open ssh connection | 08:13 |

| ikonia | punzada ssh keys ? | 08:13 |
|---|
| ikonia | punzada: tcp wrappers ? | 08:13 |
|---|
| amorphous | hischild_, ssh tunnels? easy to set up, hischild_ ? | 08:13 |
|---|
| ikonia | punzada: allowed user list ? | 08:13 |
|---|
| Plantain | hischild_: If I visit the mirror in my browser while I'm tempbanned, I just get "IP Connection limit exceeded, tempbanning" | 08:13 |
|---|
| punzada | well allowed user list i figured was without saying | 08:13 |
|---|
| amorphous | punzada, hischild_ i'm using 'add network connection' and failtoban & RSA... that not enough? | 08:14 |
|---|
| hischild_ | amorphous: IMO they're fairly easy to setup. Can you explain to me what you are concerned about? | 08:14 |

|---|
| hischild_ | Plantain: odd. Why not use the normal ones | 08:14 |
|---|
| Plantain | filearena.net | 08:14 |
|---|
| ikonia | Yashy: use samba to share the files out, or NFS | 08:15 |

|---|
| hischild_ | ikonia: it's via internet. Samba via internet is a bad idea | 08:15 |

|---|
| ikonia | Plantain: I had no idea | 08:15 |
|---|
| hischild_ | amorphous: you can use NFS to give them access to a specific directory which will appear as a local directory (that's what i'm using at home now to sync my laptop and main box) | 08:16 |
|---|
| amorphous | punzada - i hear that - not default port & RSA | 08:16 |
|---|
| ikonia | hischild_: I would suggest things like fuse, but I'm not a fan of that over the internet either | 08:16 |
|---|
| hischild_ | amorphous: securing that via the internet can be done via SSH tunnels (which is what i do to get access over the internet) | 08:17 |
|---|
| bullgard4 | legend2440: Is this list complete? | 08:17 |
|---|

| alecwh | I'm trying to get my PHP scripts to be able to send mail from my Ubuntu 7.10 machine. I have sendmail installed (via apt-get), and now when I go to a PHP script that sends mail, it takes FOREVER to load, and no mail is sent. Can someone help? | 08:37 |
|---|
| troofy | is it a good idea to use a server for desktop use also. (linux)? | 08:38 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh look at the apache log and the mail log to find out what's going on, put some debug in the php script | 08:38 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: not really | 08:38 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia why not | 08:38 |
|---|
| alecwh | ikonia: where are the logs at? I'm fairly new to Ubuntu. | 08:38 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: it's a fine idea to use the desktop install | 08:38 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: because the desktop install is better suited to desktop use | 08:38 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh: /var/log | 08:38 |
|---|
| alecwh | ikonia: which logs specifically? | 08:39 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia you mean i can use desktop install as a server too and as a desktop use too. at same time? | 08:39 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh: mail and apache (http) I think it's called | 08:39 |
|---|
| _maw | troofy: also desktop use could cause unecessary load on the server and affect performance | 08:39 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: a desktop install will work fine as a server os | 08:39 |
|---|
| Erickj92 | i am having issues installing FF 3 beta 4 | 08:39 |
|---|
| ikonia | Erickj92: it's not supported by ubuntu | 08:39 |
|---|
| _maw | desktop / server installs of ubuntu can make use of the same packages | 08:39 |
|---|
| ikonia | Erickj92: speak to the firefox developers | 08:39 |
|---|
| ikonia | _maw: they sure can | 08:40 |
|---|
| _maw | ya, I said that as a statement :P | 08:40 |
|---|
| troofy | _maw ikonia but a desktop install can be used as server and as desktop use at same time? | 08:40 |
|---|
| Erickj92 | ikonia, what do you mean its not suported? | 08:40 |
|---|
| _maw | troofy: I understand what you're asking and the answer is "yes" | 08:40 |
|---|
| Survivorman | it is not officially recognized and provided support to | 08:40 |
|---|
| _maw | but why would you want to do that? | 08:40 |
|---|
| ikonia | Erickj92 it's not in the ubuntu repo's - therefore the version you've got is a pre-compiled binary from an extneral source, therefore nothing to do with the ubuntu community to support it | 08:41 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | Why sometines when login in there a error "Error Gnome setting DEamon etc.." ? | 08:41 |

|---|
| alecwh | that's my mail lo | 08:41 |
|---|
| alecwh | g | 08:41 |
|---|
| _maw | troofy: whoever is using that server as their "desktop" could impact performance and maybe introduce security issues | 08:41 |

| applecucumber | Firefox question on Ubuntu 6.06: 6.06 normally comes with Firefox 1.5. I downloaded and installed Firefox 2.0.12 on my ~/Desktop , and copied and symbolically linked ~/Desktop/firefox/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox. When I type "firefox" in terminal, it says "cannot find mozilla runtime directory. exiting" . any ideas about what to fix? thanks! | 08:42 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh: are you using a cable/DSL connection | 08:42 |
|---|
| alecwh | ikonia: yes | 08:42 |
|---|
| troofy | _maw for example? | 08:42 |
|---|
| _maw | a virus? | 08:42 |
|---|
| _maw | open email? | 08:42 |
|---|
| _maw | virus.. = owned | 08:42 |

|---|
| poppy | applecucumber, it may be expecting the exec dir to be the ffox dir | 08:42 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh that may be your problem, your trying to use a dynamic/cable address range to talk directly to googles smtp relay | 08:43 |
|---|
| alhuda_ | eno | 08:43 |
|---|
| CVD-PR | ?? | 08:43 |
|---|
| alecwh | is it easily fixed? | 08:43 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh: the line DSN: Service unavailable is a bad sign | 08:43 |
|---|
| applecucumber | ok so should i try to move the ~/Desktop/firefox file somewhere? hmmm | 08:43 |
|---|
| BlueEyes_Jhb | Hi all, can anyone help me install flash unsing the tar.gz file pls ? | 08:43 |
|---|
| ikonia | alecwh: sendmail also can't qualify your dns hostname which won't help matters | 08:43 |
|---|
| alecwh | ok ikonia, it's not important enough to fix then. Thanks anyway! =D | 08:43 |
|---|
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: you don't need to, get the package flashplugin-nonfree | 08:44 |
|---|
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia the install script keeps failing with error 404 so I downloaded the file myself | 08:44 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | hi | 08:44 |
|---|
| arooni | help! my computer can't play back divx type movies... it used to be able to, but now it doesnt...... ideas? (gutsy) (i can hear audio, but i see green lines and no real video) | 08:45 |
|---|
| misc-- | hello, how can I find out if a service is set to boot up or not? Do I just have to check the rc directory manually to see if it's linked to the init.d service? | 08:45 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | i have a new MS sandisk 4gb for my psp but my pc won't mount it :( im using ubuntu 7.10 | 08:45 |
|---|
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: I advise against that so your ubuntu package managment stays in sync. | 08:45 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, think about how many of the security updates are at server components. _maw: consider how few ports will get opened on public interfaces, and how low profile of a target a home user is | 08:45 |
|---|
| _maw | arooni: a codec is broken, I guess divx | 08:45 |
|---|
| arooni | _maw, how do i fix | 08:45 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | anyone?.. :(( | 08:45 |
|---|
| misc-- | I mean find out if a service is set to start at boot | 08:45 |
|---|
| ikonia | ai3gtmc: what file system is on it ? | 08:46 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | fat32 | 08:46 |
|---|
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia suggestions then because my synaptic works fine on everything else, I even downloaded the file from the same machine the script gives the script gives 404 error | 08:46 |
|---|
| ikonia | ai3gtmc: what does the syslog say | 08:46 |
|---|
| troofy | poppy security updates of server a more than desktop? | 08:46 |
|---|
| poppy | misc--, there is an easier way, 1sec | 08:46 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, no, far less | 08:46 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | hmm whats syslog? ikonia ? | 08:46 |
|---|
| misc-- | poppy: no probs | 08:46 |
|---|
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: if your getting a 404 it means the link on the adobe site is unreachable | 08:46 |
|---|
| _maw | poppy: sure, I just would never run server programs on my desktop. | 08:46 |
|---|
| troofy | poppy so i should use desktop install ? | 08:46 |
|---|
| troofy | poppy so what should i do. i have on pc. | 08:46 |
|---|
| MrBarrett | i got it i change it in right click properties | 08:46 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: a desktop install | 08:47 |
|---|
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia I copied the link from the script while it was running and downloaded the file so the link is ok | 08:47 |
|---|
| poppy | misc--, aptitude install sysv-rc-conf | 08:47 |
|---|
| _maw | arooni: have you installed any new media type packages lately? | 08:47 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: it's geared towards desktop hardware, and packages such as restricted drivers are not available on the server install | 08:47 |
|---|
| arooni | _maw,not to my knowledge | 08:47 |
|---|
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: then re-try the synaptic package | 08:47 |
|---|
| misc-- | poppy: ok... | 08:47 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia poppy what problems can i get. | 08:47 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: problems with what ? | 08:47 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia oh ic | 08:47 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia mixing server use + desktop | 08:48 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | ikonia, what's syslog? | 08:48 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, you *can* use a desktop install. It's *possible* there will be a security vuln that will get taken advantage of | 08:48 |
|---|
| ikonia | ai3gtmc: /var/log/messages | 08:48 |
|---|
| _maw | arooni: I have had issues like that before, I was lazy to troubleshoot so I installed VLC player and that fixed it. I then removed my other player | 08:48 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: use a desktop install, what "server" packages are you thinking of using ? | 08:48 |
|---|
| jay | hey...I still cant seem to get this flash media player going. anyone have the link to download it from the repository | 08:48 |
|---|
| troofy | poppy securit vuln like open ports? | 08:48 |
|---|
| ikonia | jay: what media player | 08:48 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia dont know. havnt tried yet | 08:49 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, however, server apps are just as vulnerable, however they are much more likely to actually be found and fixed ;) | 08:49 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: use the desktop version. | 08:49 |
|---|
| jay | flash media player tar.gz | 08:49 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | Mar 31 16:40:39 dave-linuxbox kernel: [ 1829.712425] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 0 ikonia this is the last line | 08:49 |
|---|
| hischild_ | troofy: make sure to plug your firewall close if you have a desktop. | 08:49 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, no, as in, someone runs a program and magically has root on your box | 08:49 |
|---|
| ikonia | jay: is it available in the ubuntu repo ? - what's it's real name | 08:49 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia poppy ok... i hope my desktop use will not be slow because of the apache or irc daemon running at background. i have p4 1.8g 1g ram | 08:50 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, but it's really unlikely unless someone's targetting you | 08:50 |
|---|
| troofy | k | 08:50 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: it will be no quicker or slower than if you are running the server install | 08:50 |
|---|
| jay | that I really don't know...someone sent me a link for it earlier...it seemed to be connected | 08:50 |
|---|
| troofy | ok | 08:50 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: however trying to run an irc daemon on a DSL/Cable line is a bad idea | 08:50 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia poppy but il be more comfortable with desktop instal | 08:50 |
|---|
| ikonia | jay: then we can't help | 08:50 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, server apps are pretty good at being quiet unless there is traffic... are you planning on running a public website or anything like that? | 08:51 |
|---|
| troofy | ikonia poppy i can install all server apps i need in a desktop install too ? | 08:51 |
|---|
| hischild_ | troofy: you won't notice a difference. I usually run a gameserver or 2 on my desktop, which use a webserver for additional downloads... still don't experience any downside on it | 08:51 |
|---|
| ikonia | troofy: which ones do you need ? | 08:51 |
|---|
| poppy | troofy, you'll most likely be fine with a desktop install. I'm a server software developer and i do it :P | 08:51 |
|---|
| troofy | poppy my websit only . some friends webs too. not much though. one ircd. | 08:51 |

| troofy | ikonia poppy for attacks. server install is good. or i can tackle it with destop too? | 08:56 |

| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 08:57 |

| ubotu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 08:57 |

|---|
| BlueEyes_Jhb | hey popey the page u sent doesnt support 7.10... | 09:02 |
|---|
| xp_prg | no ubuntu has rpm | 09:02 |
|---|
| xp_prg | do apt-get install rpm if you want to see :> | 09:02 |
|---|
| mark[oz] | lol http://www.bbspot.com/News/2000/9/linux_laid.html for all the ubuntu dev's working hard out there! | 09:02 |
|---|
| ikonia | xp_prg: but using redhat build rpm's on ubuntu is silly | 09:02 |
|---|
| poppy | xp_prg, does that keep track of conflicts and overwrites tho? | 09:03 |
|---|
| tonyyarusso | xp_prg: it exists, but is remarkably foolish. | 09:03 |
|---|
| xp_prg | not if your trying to make a centos domU | 09:03 |
|---|
| xp_prg | in xen | 09:03 |
|---|
| ikonia | xp_prg: then you don't install it in ubuntu - you install it in the target vm | 09:03 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | hello | 09:03 |
|---|
| xp_prg | well I have to use the rpm utility to do that! | 09:03 |
|---|
| ikonia | xp_prg: no you don't | 09:04 |
|---|
| ikonia | xp_prg: when you install centos in the VM it comes with rpm installed | 09:04 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | guys - is it possible that compiz-fusion is that unstable that once i turn it off my machine really works ok ? | 09:04 |
|---|
| poppy | xp_prg, i think you want to use the iso of CentOS to get a vm up | 09:04 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | if i use google earth - i get random hangups | 09:04 |
|---|
| hischild_ | WilcoJR: yes, though there's probably some other problem then. | 09:04 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | like i slows down till it dies | 09:04 |
|---|
| poppy | WilcoJR, in 7.10 is buggy for me | 09:04 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | ok | 09:04 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | so im not nuts :) | 09:04 |
|---|
| ikonia | WilcoJR: it very much depends on your graphics cards and drivers | 09:05 |
|---|
| * poppy isn't gonna make that judgment call ;) | 09:05 |
| WilcoJR | well i updaed my latest drivers (nvidia) to 169.12 using envy and the latest compiz-fusion from the repos | 09:05 |

| 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 » | 09:05 |

| ikonia | WilcoJR: that could be one of the problems | 09:05 |

| LDS_Trooper | oops | 09:05 |

| WilcoJR | ikonia, how so ? 169.12 is the latest so far it works wonderfully for me - much better h the built in 100 drivers that came with ubuntu | 09:05 |

| ubotu | 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/ | 09:06 |

| WilcoJR | ikonia, - can you please explain ? | 09:06 |

| LDS_Trooper | tonyyarusso, thanks by the way | 09:06 |
|---|
| hischild | arooni: hmm ... tried a different video player? | 09:06 |
|---|
| ikonia | WilcoJR: the versions of the nvidia driver will have different stability / compatability depending ont he version of the kernel you run and the applications it runs with, ubuntu test the versions they support, you've used later drivers that may have issues witht hat version of the kernel/compiz/ubuntu in general | 09:07 |
|---|
| swilky | sudo apt-get install fdclone | 09:07 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | i see | 09:07 |
|---|
| swilky | E: Couldn't find package fdclone | 09:07 |
|---|
| arooni | hischild, yup you'er right; why doesnt totem player play correctly? | 09:07 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | i didnt understand that it of an issue with the kernel | 09:07 |
|---|
| ikonia | ai3gtmc: in the syslog what device file does it assign | 09:07 |
|---|
| poppy | WilcoJR, if you want latest and greatest, install 8.04 beta and report bugs :D | 09:07 |
|---|
| ikonia | WilcoJR: it's not an issue with the kernel, re-read what I typed | 09:07 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | ikonia, /dev/sdc | 09:08 |
|---|
| hischild | arooni: can be a couple dozen reasons. Try see if any of the settings got screwed up or something, or force a reinstall of it | 09:08 |
|---|
| ikonia | ai3gtmc: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt | 09:08 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | ok | 09:08 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | ikonia, is says mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 09:08 |
|---|
| arooni | hischild, i dont have any settings i setup; so i'm comfy blowing them away.................. how do i force reinstall? | 09:08 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | ikonia, let me rephrase kernel/driver compatibilty | 09:08 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | hmm | 09:08 |
|---|
| hischild | ikonia: ! ... why mount a drive at /mnt and not a decent mountpoint? | 09:08 |
|---|
| WilcoJR | how stable is 8.04 beta? | 09:09 |
|---|
| ikonia | hischild: to just test his drive is mountable | 09:09 |
|---|
| hischild | WilcoJR: it's because the latest driver isn't perse the best. | 09:09 |
|---|
| hischild | ikonia: i c | 09:09 |
|---|
| ikonia | WilcoJR: it's a beta | 09:09 |
|---|
| ai3gtmc | uh oh | 09:09 |
