| valros | yes i know but it says the directory doesnt exist | 00:00 |

| Reflex | ok | 00:00 |
| valros | i just didnt want to put my name up | 00:00 |
| damaltor | valros: go into /home and type ls | 00:00 |
| IdleOne | unop_, I dont understand it either | 00:00 |
| Mark_ | soundray, Says no restricted drivers are needed when I try what you said | 00:00 |
| soundray | valros: does 'cd /home/$USER' work? | 00:00 |
| Mark_ | zx-cell, did you use restricted drivers? | 00:00 |
| zx-cell | <Mark_> course | 00:01 |
| unop_ | valros, simply typing 'cd' should do | 00:01 |
| nikitis | kitche, that needs to be changed. Or there needs to be an option to allow for manual installation of drivers to work with ubuntu-desktop effects | 00:01 |
| Mark_ | zx-cell, hmm when I try that in Administration, it says I don't need any | 00:01 |
| valros | ok i got it | 00:01 |
| zx-cell | <Mark_> otherwise you yust cant enable other visual effects | 00:01 |
| valros | i think | 00:01 |
| soundray | Mark_: in that case I would recommend that you stick with what you've got and try the Restricted... method again in hardy once it's been released and you've upgraded | 00:01 |
| kitche | nikitis: well here it's works fine with manual drivers | 00:01 |
| brainiac8008 | i have an nvidia geforce 6150se and i'm running a 7.10 livecd. i enabled the nvidia-glx-new driver. When i restarted x, i went into low graphics mode, so i restarted, once again running on the livecd. any ideas? | 00:01 |
| nikitis | kitche, it was working for me, then out of the blue it just died, and went to metacity | 00:01 |
| Mark_ | soundray, roger that, I can enable effects, it's just a bit slow and heavy on cpu for some reason | 00:02 |
| nikitis | kitche, now i have to type compiz --replace | 00:02 |
| nikitis | kitche, it works when I do that | 00:02 |
| nikitis | kitche, but that's ghetto. | 00:02 |
| joebob777as7 | nikitis just put that in your sessions startup | 00:02 |
| nikitis | joebob777as7, i did, but now it takes longer to load | 00:02 |
| kitche | nikitis: yep sounds like an update might have just screwed something up when you login or your logging in under a different session | 00:02 |
| joebob777as7 | yeah... upgrade to hardy.. | 00:02 |
| nikitis | is hardy 8.?? | 00:03 |
| soundray | Mark_: you probably do need the proprietary driver to make it work better, but if it's not offered, the procedure is a bit more involved | 00:03 |
| mrsolo | hardy is still beta right? | 00:03 |
| soundray | !ati | Mark_ | 00:03 |
| Mark_ | soundray, yup, i'm reading that now, thx | 00:03 |

| cataldus3d | i click on set disklabel in gparted | 00:03 |
| joebob777as7 | Long Term Support version | 00:03 |
| Mark_ | soundray, just hope I don't hose anything hehehe | 00:04 |
| nikitis | can i do dist-upgrade | 00:04 |
| joebob777as7 | final comes out next month (april) | 00:04 |

| Animortis | I installed Samba and started it through the cli. I made a desktop user and then made a folder in its home folder called 'share' and gave it ownership of the folder and 775 permissions. I then added the folder to System-Administration-Shared folders and added my smb workgroup name in. I restarted Ubuntu. The xp laptop I'm serving sees the Ubuntu PC but says I do not have permissions to log in. | 00:08 |

| Animortis | I also did an smbpasswd -a to that desktop user | 00:09 |

| unop_ | now known as pidgin | 00:11 |
| kitche | zx-cell: just state what the problem is and someone will answer if they knos | 00:11 |
| Sinistrad | Animortis, smbclient is a command-line samba client, you can do something like smbclient -U username //localhost/sharename from the machine samba is running on. If you can't access the share that way, it will rule out XP as the culprit. (if you can access, it doesn't rule out your server as the culprit) | 00:11 |

| tarelerulz | I have read Kopete the newest version it on Ubuntu 8.04 . It is one of the reason I would get it. I want to get into some voice chat | 00:15 |
| Sinistrad | Animortis, it means samba is serving your localhost correctly. When you try to access from XP, are you sure you're entering both the username (case sensitive) and the password (case sensitive) correctly? (note: neither of those may be case sensitive for samba) | 00:15 |

| Animortis | Sinistrad, I never get to it asking username and password. It simply gives an error message about the server being not accessable and not having permission. | 00:16 |

| Sinistrad | valros, if 'iwlist ap' isn't showin anything, it means 1 of 3 things: 1) there aren't any APs in range 2) your stuff's broke 3) other | 00:36 |

| DropKickMurpheys | can someone attempt to help me update to 8.04 from 7.10 using the alternate install cd? | 00:37 |
| trey__ | soundray: i will... why though? | 00:37 |
| soundray | j3kyll: it's normally called .Trash in the root directory of the advice | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | j3kyll, It will be on the usb partition .Trash-yourloginname | 00:37 |
| soundray | trey__: there is a help factoid for effects | 00:37 |
| j3kyll | soundray: ill try finding it there thanks | 00:37 |
| webtoe | DropKickMurpheys: Why are you trying to do it from the alternate .iso's rather than over the net? | 00:37 |
| trey__ | soundray: kk | 00:37 |
| DropKickMurpheys | internet here fails | 00:38 |
| webtoe | DropKickMurpheys: also keep in mind that 8.04 is still beat | 00:38 |
| webtoe | beta even | 00:38 |
| DropKickMurpheys | i understand that :D | 00:38 |
| webtoe | DropKickMurpheys: you need to tell apt to use the CD-ROM as your repository instead of the internet sources | 00:38 |
| kitche | webtoe: umm because you can and it's better if your machine is not really on the network most likely | 00:38 |
| valros | ive tried kismet, whats another that wont need libraries that i cant get | 00:38 |
| IdleOne | DropKickMurpheys, join #ubuntu+1 | 00:38 |
| DropKickMurpheys | ah | 00:39 |
| j3kyll | soundray: got it, ha i just have a tendency to forget the small things :p | 00:39 |
| soundray | j3kyll: remember that nautilus hides filenames beginning with . by default. Also that it's case sensitive | 00:39 |
| Sinistrad | Did kismet show your AP, valros? | 00:39 |
| wenton | so out of interest many people here completely switched to linux? | 00:39 |
| valros | anyone? | 00:39 |
| webtoe | DropKickMurpheys: Look at System -> Administration -> Software Sources if you're using GUI | 00:39 |
| DropKickMurpheys | ok | 00:39 |
| kitche | !offtopic | wenton | 00:40 |

| Sinistrad | Root-raid5: get dropped to the initrd prompt, "root disk not found" sort of thing. Start the array manually ('mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2') and exit the initrd prompt, everything boots and works. What am I missing? It looks like the udev rules are on the ramdisk, as well as a valid /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf on the initrd image (but it appears to get overwritten by the time I get into the initrd shell). Thoughts? | 00:41 |
| DropKickMurpheys | thanks webtoe i think i figured it out | 00:41 |
| soyeur | wenton: I don't "completely" use Linux because I also use FreeBSD :D | 00:41 |

| soyeur | lol | 00:42 |
| webtoe | Copter: No caps please; ask politely | 00:42 |
| maarek_ | that's the limit of your drivers Copter | 00:42 |
| soyeur | Copter: Why would you want a worse resolution anyway lol | 00:42 |

| Creator|afk | hello people | 00:42 |
| Copter | soyeur: coz my CRT monitor can only display 1280x1024 on 60hz | 00:42 |
| DropKickMurpheys | Webtoe: it just gave me an error saying something about the disk not being debian | 00:42 |

| soyeur | that's kind of weird though, Copter... | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Copter, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 00:43 |

| Sinistrad | Nihilist_Nerd, I was making a joke. The 'if your time is worth nothing' is a standard argument against free linux/gnu/floss software...I figured I'd throw it at freeBSD, since this is a linux/GNU channel ;) | 00:43 |

| verb3k | Jack_Sparrow, She? he's a guy! | 00:46 |
| valros | sorry timed out there | 00:46 |
| valros | i couldnt get kismet it needed libraries that came as updates from, guess where, the internet im trying to fix with kismet | 00:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | verb3k, SInce when? | 00:47 |
| Sinistrad | sad, valros | 00:47 |
| sjovan | okay... some dude said to me that wine could perform bether without doublebuffer and that the parameter was wine /dir/to/prog/ -doublebuffer. this is my shortcut for that prog ---> . env WINEPREFIX="/home/sjovan/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Fallout2\fallout2.exe" <--- could i just add <space>-doublebuffer after ...exe? | 00:48 |
| Sinistrad | valros, try to isolate where the problem is (set essid manually, then set IP manually and that sort of thing, and do ping tests and all that) | 00:48 |
| verb3k | Jack_Sparrow, Stephane Graber is a girl? | 00:48 |
| valros | hows the ping command go? | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | verb3k, I thought so.. not that it matters at all.. | 00:49 |
| sjovan | valros: ping hostename or ip | 00:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | verb3k, Just appreciate the work.. | 00:49 |
| Sinistrad | valros, start by pinging the IP of your Access Point (AP), then move on to something further away | 00:49 |
| verb3k | Jack_Sparrow, xD look here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/7713515/hackergotchi.png | 00:49 |
| Sinistrad | valros, I assume your access point works with whatever you're using to connect right now? | 00:49 |
| valros | my routers IP by ping is "Network is unreachable" | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 00:50 |
| valros | Ya, netgear wireless router | 00:50 |
| zx-sanji | any1 got an idea ? when i try to remove the dhcp3-server pckg , the output error is like invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "stop" failed. ? | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | zx-sanji, You can change the init script to just exit successfully | 00:51 |
| zx-sanji | <Jordan_U> what how ? :D | 00:51 |
| Sinistrad | valros, again, try to isolate where the problem is (set essid manually, then set IP manually and that sort of thing, and do ping tests and all that) | 00:51 |
| sjovan | zx-sanji: is this in apt-get? if so... have you tryed to force it? -f ? | 00:51 |
| RAdams | How do you create a server connection to a secure webdav location? I don't see that option under Connect to Server | 00:51 |
| zx-sanji | apt get | 00:51 |
| brambo | anyone know a program, prefferably in .deb for 64bit that I can get to monitor CPU GPU n hard drive temps here in Ubuntu? | 00:51 |
| sjovan | zx-sanji: so try to force it then :) | 00:51 |
| Sinistrad | valros, if the router is working, then the system must be wrong. Set things manually to reasonable values and see if it works | 00:51 |
| zx-sanji | triing | 00:52 |
| Sinistrad | valros, it may end up being that the driver the system (or you, if you pickked it) is using for your wireless card is wrong. | 00:52 |
| valros | would the wireless part of the router work but the ethernets continue | 00:52 |
| RAdams | brambo: gkrellm | 00:52 |
| zx-sanji | <sjovan> the same | 00:52 |
| saikor | brambo: or mbmon | 00:52 |
| sjovan | zx-sanji: sudo apt-get -f autoremove packagename --purge | 00:52 |
| Sinistrad | Valros: you've not verified the wireless side of it? | 00:52 |
| brambo | they support 64 bit? | 00:52 |
| Sinistrad | valros, they're separate hardware on the router, the wirelss and the ethernet | 00:53 |
| RAdams | brambo: gkrellm does, I don't know about mbmon | 00:53 |
| valros | yes i know i know, but ive nothing to test it with and would it stop working in the middle of the night? | 00:53 |

| Jordan_U | zx-sanji, Yes, but if you can't figure out why it is failing ( and you just want to remove the package ) you can just have the script exit before doing anything. | 00:58 |
| saikor | trey_: less ~/.xsession-errors | 00:58 |
| zx-sanji | thats true .. :D | 00:58 |

| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: i know it isnt that practical but it does impress people | 01:35 |

| valros | ....explanation to someone who knows nothing about linux? | 01:44 |
| mmm4m5m | amenado: I want br0 to get IP from dhcp. I want to use br0 for all connections. and I am not sure about eth0, mostly have be static IP? does it have to be the same subnet (192.168.11.xxx)? | 01:44 |

| trey__ | matboy: no :( | 01:45 |
| Jaden | cool thanks | 01:45 |
| soyeur | MatBoy: On Gutsy Gibbon (Compiz-Fusion) | 01:45 |
| mrkeishii | np | 01:45 |
| amenado | mmm4m5m-> the key is the route table, but thats a bit of an advanced topic, so just have one route to get out of your subnet and one nic to get to same subnet | 01:45 |
| soyeur | As well as Hardy Heron | 01:45 |
| mrkeishii | how do you install Beryl? | 01:45 |
| MatBoy | trey__, mhh, I removed it + emerald and I lost my window decoration | 01:45 |
| valros | amenado say that again? | 01:45 |
| zx-sanji | valros ... get some other wireless from carboot ... and thats it .. 5 quid .. the cheapest solution .. | 01:45 |
| trey__ | saikor: i did that but i cant find it... | 01:46 |
| soyeur | MatBoy: Reinstall it? | 01:46 |
| valros | get another wireless router or card? | 01:46 |
| zx-sanji | valros wireless . | 01:46 |
| soyeur | mrkeishii: You probably don't want beryl... | 01:46 |
| mrkeishii | y is that | 01:46 |
| trey__ | matboy: sounds bad... i feel sorry for you... im just trying to get it installed now... | 01:46 |
| amenado | valros your host (ubuntu) has two nics? are connected to same router? | 01:46 |
| soyeur | mrkeishii: The Beryl Project has been merged into the Compiz project to form Compiz-Fusion, which is default on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and up | 01:46 |
| mrkeishii | oh okay | 01:47 |
| saikor | trey__: do a search for linux-restricted-modules in the manager. | 01:47 |
| zx-sanji | amenado his wireless card is not fully suported .. | 01:47 |
| valros | amenado, i dont get what your saying, say it to someone with basic knowledge please? | 01:47 |
| mrkeishii | but i like the 3d block thing and other features though | 01:47 |
| Flare183 | Moose: see? | 01:47 |
| soyeur | mrkeishii: If you want the cool effects, download the | 01:47 |
| amenado | zx-sanji-> ahh the infamous broadcom bcm43xx ..hehe | 01:47 |
| soyeur | Compiz Control Settings Control Panel | 01:47 |
| trey__ | linux-restricted-modules ok! i did one diferantly... brb | 01:47 |
| mrkeishii | from where | 01:47 |
| soyeur | Just do a search in Synaptic for "Compiz Control Panel" | 01:47 |
| === icesword is now known as osenvironment | ||
| soyeur | you should find it | 01:47 |
| anteaya | I need to add a path to $PATH so it is available regardless of whether I open and close my terminal, (it's a gem) | 01:47 |
| soyeur | There, you can enable effects like the 3D cube | 01:48 |
| amenado | valros-> its okay... good luck | 01:48 |
| mrkeishii | thanks alot | 01:48 |
| MatBoy | soyeur, reinstall what ? | 01:48 |
| valros | now im downloading the ndiswrapper drivers | 01:48 |
| valros | hopefully they'll work | 01:48 |
| soyeur | MatBoy: Reinstall Compiz-Fusion? | 01:48 |
| amenado | anteaya-> add it to your .bashrc or .bash_profile if you got one? | 01:48 |
| MatBoy | soyeur, it doesn't work on 4 screens with different resolutions | 01:48 |
| valros | is there an apt-get install for alsa drivers, lib, utils? | 01:49 |
| MatBoy | soyeur, so I don't need it, but I want my default windows back | 01:49 |
| soyeur | Then just use metacity instead? | 01:49 |
| mrkeishii | idk | 01:49 |
| mmm4m5m | amenado: I am learning linux language now, not sure I understand you very well. I mean - 10x for help, at least I know what to read now (I do not mind route tables or anything, but windows everything is mostly clicking). If it simple, can you tell me how interface file must looks like? | 01:49 |
| mrkeishii | it can't find any | 01:49 |
| anteaya | amenado: .bashrc is open, where do i add it, and what should it look like? | 01:49 |
| soyeur | Reinstall Emerald, and then right click the emerald icon and choose "Use Metacity" | 01:49 |
| soyeur | Then you will have the regular WM | 01:49 |
| mrkeishii | I just typed Compiz Control Panel | 01:49 |
| MatBoy | soyeur, doesn't work | 01:50 |
| mrkeishii | and it pop up in side bar, but no pakages installed. | 01:50 |
| Djmack | How hard is it to get a static IP? | 01:50 |
| === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris | ||
| mrkeishii | So how do i get that 3d cube and all other effects? | 01:50 |
| === USC_Guest is now known as FlareFlare | ||
| amenado | mmm4m5m-> im not sure you can learn linux language, there is none that I know of, perhaps bash or python or perl.. you can "cat /etc/network/interfaces" | 01:50 |
| amenado | anteaya-> at the end, then log out or to take effect "source" .bashrc | 01:51 |
| mrkeishii | IDK | 01:51 |
| Ava- | the prefix for gutsy and hardy is still /usr corrent? not /usr/local? | 01:51 |
| anteaya | amenado: what should the added code look like? | 01:51 |
| mrkeishii | i would love to have those nice effects but idk how to get them??? | 01:51 |
| Djmack | How hard is it to get a static IP? | 01:52 |
| === soyeur is now known as Gamma | ||
| amenado | anteaya-> export PATH=/new/added/path:$PATH | 01:52 |
| osenvironment | heheh,how hard？ | 01:52 |
| trey__ | saikor: error upon error upon error! ( =( ) now i get: http://www.pastebin.ca/965517 but i have my cd in (pulls hair out...) | 01:52 |
| amenado | Djmack-> you have to pay an arm and a leg | 01:52 |
| anteaya | amenado: thanks will try | 01:52 |
| Ava- | this must be #ignore Ava- | 01:52 |
| Djmack | so it is something i buy from my service provider | 01:53 |
| epitron | does anyone here know how anything about fontconfig? it's having a strange problem: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont: failed to write cache" | 01:53 |
| epitron | it's blocking me from finishing the install of X | 01:53 |
| amenado | Djmack-> yes if you want it registered under your entity, and have entries in the official name servers | 01:53 |
| saikor | trey__: open up /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor and delete the lines that reference your cdrom. | 01:53 |
| mrkeishii | So how do i get the compiz control panel up? | 01:54 |
| === alan__ is now known as Alan_M | ||
| saikor | trey__: then it'll just get the file from the web instead. | 01:54 |

| valros | winterwolf, what browser' | 01:55 |
| Djmack | well... my cousin mentioned to me that i could make some money off hosting Website back-ups on my computer... and my plan was, if i got this set up. i would just borrow my friends blade server. and use it untill i could get my own | 01:56 |
| winterwolf | valros: I use Flock cause Youtube works better on it | 01:56 |
| winterwolf | valros: but it does this same thing with FireFox | 01:56 |
| valros | never heard of it, and i dont think adobe will recognize it | 01:56 |
| amenado | winterwolf-> sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-fonts | 01:56 |
| erisco | my open office transitions are playing at a snail's pace... at best 1fps, which makes it extremely crappy and choppy. what's up with that? | 01:56 |
| Stroganoff | i'll never get that "free" command. could some1 tell me how much RAM is actually consumed? http://pastebin.com/m4cfde2d9 | 01:57 |
| amenado | erisco if I was watching your presentation and you flipped pages that fast, im walking out | 01:57 |
| erisco | Stroganoff, free -m | 01:57 |
| zcat[1] | Stroganoff: on my laptop.. generally all of it.. | 01:57 |

| Djmack | you think verizon (my provider) provides a residential internet with static IP? cause im looking at some packages and they come with a bunch of crap that i dont want | 01:58 |
| Stroganoff | erisco, i am able to devide by 1000 | 01:58 |
| erisco | Stroganoff, what? | 01:58 |
| === looktj is now known as taylor | ||
| amenado | erisco-> do you realize how fast 1 frame per second is for an audience to capture the info? | 01:58 |
| erisco | amenado, did you even read my problem? | 01:58 |
| zcat[1] | amenado: he's talking about the transitions.. the nice slide/fade effects between slides | 01:58 |
| amenado | erisco that is my interpretation of your problem | 01:58 |
| erisco | amenado, read again then :s | 01:59 |
| reeeh2000 | Hello all, I am trying to hook up a Xbox 360 wired controller to be used with Gusty Gibbon, any one know of an up to date how to? | 01:59 |
| amenado | erisco nope, do your thing and suffer | 01:59 |

| zcat[1] | btw I would like an answer also... the transition effects in OOo suck and I've never got them to work smoothly | 01:59 |
| winterwolf | Maybe this can help....This is what I get when i typed that, amenado . http://paste.ubuntu.com/6313/ | 01:59 |
| amenado | erisco you dont comprehend user interface, you expect the crowd to understand your presentation? | 02:00 |
| Nineaxis | What's the difference between the "live installer" and "alternate desktop"? | 02:00 |
| nikrud | amenado that wasn't exactly kind | 02:00 |
| DOOM_NX | can anybody suggest the best DC client for ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| erisco | nikrud, its fine, I have no idea what he is talking about | 02:01 |
| saikor | Stroganoff: cat /proc/meminfo might be better for you. | 02:01 |
| amenado | nikrud am crude sometimes, im trying to get a point across | 02:01 |
| MatBoy | it seems that gnome-compiz is a needed package in default gnome | 02:01 |
| valros | is there a terminal command, sudo cd + <directory in current folder> | 02:01 |
| valros | or such | 02:01 |
| erisco | valros, how do you mean? | 02:01 |
| Nineaxis | ...what's the difference between the live cd and alternate desktop cd? | 02:01 |
| amenado | winterwolf-> you have like synaptic running at same time? or other dpkg or apt-get running? | 02:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | one's live, one's just an installer | 02:02 |
| valros | well, cd - goes back one i want to go forward one, not go back and type the whole link | 02:02 |
| osenvironment | !alternate > Nineaxis | 02:02 |
| nikrud | Nineaxis live cd can boot into a graphical desktop, and install. Alternate is installer only, text based, but installs on more hardware | 02:02 |
| erisco | valros, cd directory_name | 02:02 |
| prohna | Hello! | 02:02 |
| zx-sanji | valros type dir | 02:02 |
| erisco | valros, you are perhaps doing cd /directory_name, which starts back at root | 02:02 |
| valros | ya | 02:02 |
| prohna | im having an issue getting anything to transfer songs to my ipod | 02:02 |
| Nineaxis | What would I use on a server? | 02:02 |
| valros | so just type tje directory? | 02:02 |
| Nineaxis | ALternate? | 02:02 |
| prohna | ive tried gtkpod amarok banshee | 02:02 |
| valros | type* | 02:03 |
| erisco | valros, okay, so don't use an absolute path, use a relative path ;) | 02:03 |
| eddyMul | I'm running kvm/qemu under Ubuntu Gutsy. Is this the right place to ask for help w.r.t. user-mode DNS server (at 10.0.2.3) failing to resolve IPs? | 02:03 |
| nikrud | prohna an newer classic or 3g nano? | 02:03 |
| prohna | they all say theyre transfering but the ipod doesnt see any songs | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | !enter | prohna | 02:03 |
| zx-sanji | valros you need to understant the topology of file folders a bit .. | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | eh, ubotu is dead | 02:03 |
| valros | i probably do | 02:03 |
| prohna | nikrud: newer | 02:03 |
| osenvironment | how come | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: is it a really new ipod? | 02:03 |
| prohna | yes | 02:03 |
| prohna | just bought it today | 02:03 |
| zx-sanji | valros what you are trying to open ? | 02:03 |
| prohna | 80gb video | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | is it a touch? | 02:03 |
| nikrud | prohna apple changed stuff out from under you, when hardy is released it will support them | 02:03 |
| prohna | not a touch | 02:03 |
| erisco | valros, if the directory you are in no contains the folder "foo", then cd foo will change to that folder | 02:03 |
| nathan42100 | hey, ummmm, I used to be able to mount my NTFS-3G drives, now I can't. No error or anything. Checked the log, nothing there either. I just updated something a few hours ago, but I don't remember what. I can't find it in the logs | 02:04 |
| valros | oh just installing alsa, is there an apt-get alsa package? | 02:04 |
| amenado | eddyMul-> possibly, doesnt kvm/qemu runs a name server ? | 02:04 |
| erisco | valros, and you can know what is in the current directory by typing ls | 02:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: it depends on how long its been sitting on the shelf, wether it will work or not | 02:04 |
| brambo_ | Sorry, I got disconnected, I dont know if anyone got what i said before... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6313/ what did i do wrong here? | 02:04 |

| === taylor is now known as Taylor | ||
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: apple changed the really new ones, so they don't wrk very well w/ linux.(but will when ubuntu hardy is released next month) | 02:05 |
| brambo_ | amenado: I typed what you put for me about the Java, and that is what I get here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6313/ in my terminal | 02:05 |
| eddyMul | amenado: yes, qemu runs a name server. however, this name server is not resolving my vm's DNS requests (tested from fedora 8 guest and winxp guest) | 02:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: i have a 4gig nano, and 30gig video, they work fine | 02:05 |
| saikor | brambo_: looks like you've got synaptic open. Which is locking it | 02:05 |
| nathan42100 | !mount | 02:05 |
| amenado | brambo_-> you have like synaptic running at same time? or other dpkg or apt-get running? | 02:05 |
| user1 | Than you SurvivorMan that fixed it | 02:05 |
| nathan42100 | hey, ummmm, I used to be able to mount my NTFS-3G drives, now I can't. No error or anything. Checked the log, nothing there either. I just updated something a few hours ago, but I don't remember what. I can't find it in the logs | 02:05 |
| brambo_ | saikor: I closed synaptic...wait I'll try again | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | nathan42100, What are you doing to try to mount them? | 02:06 |
| nathan42100 | just double clicking on them | 02:06 |
| nathan42100 | it asks for the pass, I put it in | 02:06 |
| amenado | eddyMul-> is qemu name server getting a feed from a real name server? | 02:06 |
| prohna | stupid apple | 02:06 |
| nathan42100 | and then it takes me to / | 02:06 |
| brambo_ | saikor: ok I have closed it but now I am getting a different message, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6314/ | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: funny thing is, microsoft players work under Linux w/o issue..lol | 02:07 |

| Ava- | someone please flippin answer me | 02:07 |
| jjt009 | hey dudes | 02:07 |
| prohna | so anyone got an idea how to rig it to work for now? | 02:07 |
| jjt009 | is this the IRC channel with the largest number of members? | 02:07 |
| amenado | eddyMul-> rather it should just resolve the vm local ip addresses and pass on along to real name servers for resolving addresses like www.yahoo.com | 02:07 |
| nikrud | brambo_ you running 64bit? if so, sun never made a 64bit browser plugin | 02:07 |
| Jordan_U | nathan42100, Are you a member of the 'fuse' group and can you pastebin the output of "mount" ? | 02:07 |
| prohna | its weird because if i open the ipod in amarok or something i can see the songs | 02:07 |
| prohna | but just cant on the actual ipod | 02:07 |
| Ava- | ??!?!?! | 02:08 |
| jjt009 | 1178 people..whoah | 02:08 |
| brambo_ | nikrud: yes I am on 64bit....So I cannot ever use that plugin ? | 02:08 |
| eddyMul | amenado: so, it looks like qemu's dns server is not passing the vm's dns requests to my dns server.... | 02:08 |
| kelvin911 | do i need a firewall? | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: don't know. | 02:08 |

| saikor | brambo_: I'm sorry I haven't read your original problem. Have you tried installing sun-java5-plugin through synaptic? | 02:08 |
| anteaya | amenado: I followed your instructions which got the PATH in the $PATH, but the gem is still not working for me http://pastie.caboo.se/173507 | 02:08 |
| godlygeek | can uswsusp be made to work with a swap file, rather than partition, in gutsy? | 02:08 |
| kelvin911 | i am not running any firewall or anti-virus here | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: i think ubotu is on break | 02:08 |

| brambo_ | saikor: I think I have but one minute, I will double check | 02:09 |
| anteaya | amenado: a realize the gems is not an ubuntu area of expertise | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelvin911: most likely you're fine... | 02:09 |
| prohna | broke the database as in? | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, ubotwo as well :( | 02:09 |
| nikrud | Ava- the question is not very complete. /usr will be around as long as unix is | 02:09 |
| prohna | would syncing it up with a windows box fix it for now? | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: slackers..lol | 02:09 |
| nikrud | prohna yes. | 02:09 |
| anteaya | amenado: but i though i would get back to you | 02:09 |
| amenado | anteaya-> all you asked earlier is how to add a PATH at logon noh? or available on all your windows? | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: should | 02:09 |

| Jordan_U | prohna, There is a way to get new ipods to work with amarok, let me find the link | 02:10 |
| amenado | anteaya-> so you got the PATH okay? gem is a different problem right? | 02:10 |
| nikrud | prohna you can wait 3 weeks, right? | 02:10 |
| prohna | i guess | 02:10 |
| Ava- | nikrud: for feisty I always hade to ./configure --prefix=/usr because of where feisty stored it's stuff | 02:10 |
| osenvironment | today is april fool day,and i was fooled by google | 02:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | prohna: na, you just need to exchange your ipod for a zune...lol | 02:10 |
| prohna | sucks though | 02:10 |
| Nineaxis | How do you start the ubuntu installer in text based fedora? | 02:10 |
| Ava- | just wondered if that has changed with gutsy and hardy | 02:10 |
| anteaya | amenado: you are correct and thank you | 02:10 |
| nikrud | Ava- yes. That is standard for all unix's, will never change. | 02:10 |
| valros | i got this error again, what package is needed i forgot, error: C compiler cannot create executables | 02:10 |
| amenado | anteaya-> Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled <-- clue | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | Nineaxis, Can you please be more clear? | 02:11 |
| nathan42100 | Jordan_u, just "mount" and no, not fuse | 02:11 |
| Ava- | nikrud: some distros are /usr/local | 02:11 |
| nikrud | Ava- and you an use /usr/local for locally compiled stuff, I always do | 02:11 |
| Ava- | aren't they? | 02:11 |
| trey__ | saikor... hanging in there? im still trying to open restricted drivers (installing somthin for that now...) do you remember me? | 02:11 |

| IndyGunFreak | Erickj92: does it have internet access? | 02:11 |
| Ava- | for feisty when I installed mythtv I always had to --prefix=/usr or it wouldn't work | 02:11 |
| Ava- | and find it's libs | 02:11 |
| brambo_ | saikor: should I get Java 5 or 6? I see both | 02:11 |
| Nineaxis | Jordan- I have the ubuntu alternate desktop installer on a cd, in my server currently running Fedora 8, and being a linux n00b, I don't know how to start it | 02:11 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, yes.. i get connection refused when i try to connect to one | 02:11 |
| nikrud | Ava- the idea is /usr is for packaged up stuff. /usr/local is where you put your own stuff. /usr/local/lib should be fine | 02:11 |
| saikor | brambo_: personally I'd go for 6 | 02:11 |
| trey__ | saikor: good didnt want to run through every thing again! LOL! ;) | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Erickj92: do you ahve a firewall that could be not allowing it to run? | 02:12 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, i have a firewall, but i thought i disabled it | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Erickj92: software or hardware? | 02:12 |
| brambo_ | saikor: 5 and 6, 6 is just an updated version? | 02:12 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, software, and a linksys router | 02:12 |
| nikrud | Ava- ah, /etc/ld.conf.d/glibc should have /usr/local/lib in it, which makes libs in /usr/local/lib available | 02:12 |
| saikor | brambo_: yeah | 02:13 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, it has worked before | 02:13 |
| === alan__ is now known as Alan_M | ||
| IndyGunFreak | Erickj92: i'm guessing that software router is causing your issue. | 02:13 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, software router? | 02:13 |
| === reconnect is now known as recon | ||
| IndyGunFreak | *software firewall.. | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | my bad | 02:13 |
| Erickj92 | oh, ok | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | tired | 02:13 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, i have firestarter | 02:13 |
| brambo_ | saikor: once I get this, should firefox realize its there and use it to run certain things? | 02:13 |
| nathan42100 | hey, ummmm, I used to be able to mount my NTFS-3G drives, now I can't. No error or anything. Checked the log, nothing there either. I just updated something a few hours ago, either libc6 or libpq5. | 02:14 |
| brambo_ | saikor: for the sites that it will work with | 02:14 |
| Merevaik | Ok I gtg, thanks anyway EzraEzra | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Erickj92: i know nothing about linux s/w firewalls, but i'm guesing thats where your issue is gonna be | 02:14 |
| Erickj92 | IndyGunFreak, that fixed it :) | 02:14 |
| Erickj92 | thank you | 02:14 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 after upgrading libc6 it's usually good to reboot. Have you done that? | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Erickj92: i figured | 02:14 |
| Ava- | is there anyway to force a reinstall of hardy? | 02:14 |
| Ava- | my gdm is running so slow it's unusuable | 02:14 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud, yeah | 02:14 |
| saikor | saikor: it should work. If it doesn't firefox should popup and ask you to install plugins. Then just select java 6 plugin and it will work fine. | 02:14 |
| Ava- | and i've tried 2 different nvidia drivers thinking thatmight be the problem | 02:14 |
| nikrud | Ava- a fresh install is a forced install | 02:14 |
| nathan42100 | though it should tell you that, especially for the newbs like me | 02:15 |
| Ava- | I have no blank cd's and I only have inet | 02:15 |
| saikor | brambo: it should work. If it doesn't firefox should popup and ask you to install plugins. Then just select java 6 plugin and it will work fine. | 02:15 |
| kartMMAn | m | 02:15 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 tail -f /var/log/syslog , you should see some messages when you doubleclick and enter your password | 02:15 |
| Ava- | and I won't wanna lose a lot of what I have on this hard drive | 02:15 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 that is, type the /var/log/syslog | 02:15 |
| erisco | why is open office so slow?!?!?!?!?! | 02:15 |
| brambo_ | saikor: i caught what ya said, its ok u didnt have to repeat it ;) | 02:15 |
| ross`_ | hey, i can keep hitting back in shell and see all the way to my first command | 02:15 |
| erisco | it is taking an EON to save my three slide presentation!!!! | 02:15 |
| ross`_ | im wondering what the file is | 02:15 |
| ross`_ | so i can search it | 02:15 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud, im confused, what? | 02:15 |
| ross`_ | what file is all your commands you did saved in | 02:16 |
| valros | what package fixes this error, ive done it before but forgot, error: C compiler cannot create executables | 02:16 |
| nikrud | Ava- you should backup, and on this install add a partition for /home also, !clone below will help you with resetting packages | 02:16 |
| nikrud | !clone | Ava- | 02:16 |
| === Gamma is now known as alphabetagamma | ||
| nikrud | nathan42100 :) type tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, it will echo any messages while you mount/unmount partitions | 02:16 |
| brambo_ | is there any major reason why I should go to Hardy vs staying with Gutsy? I have some people telling my Hardy is better in ways | 02:16 |
| erisco | over two minutes so far and 75% complete saving a 3 slide presentation | 02:16 |
| erisco | does anyone else have MAJOR performance issues with open office?? | 02:17 |
| * IndyGunFreak begins performing CPR on ubotu and ubotwo | 02:17 | |
| nikrud | brambo_ it is, but it's still rough in spots. If you can't fix broken stuff, wait | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | erisco: no, it works great for me | 02:17 |
| VTBuc | hi does anyone here have experience with AbiWord in 8.04? | 02:17 |
| Colmena | hi | 02:17 |
| brambo_ | nikrud: then I will wait, cause I'm still really new to linux in general | 02:17 |

| nathan42100 | thats it | 02:17 |
| nikrud | VTBuc #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release | 02:17 |
| VTBuc | ah thank you | 02:17 |
| ross`_ | can someone tell me what the file is located to see al the commands as you have done? instead of hitting an arow key a million times to search for one? thank you | 02:17 |
| Colmena | i want to install my video nvidia 9600 gt | 02:17 |
| erisco | IndyGunFreak, and it takes me about 4 minutes to save... three slides... | 02:18 |
| Colmena | how? | 02:18 |
| bobsomebody | when i run gnome-panel-screenshot i get an error "cannot open display:" and i cant seem to find a solution to this problem :/ | 02:18 |
| erisco | WHOA, they have 9000's? | 02:18 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 that's not the message I'm looking for. Could be hald is not running , type sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart | 02:18 |

| * nikrud never argues with nasty gun holders | 02:18 | |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:19 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: nope, still not mounting | 02:19 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 not sure what it is then. what is the partition you're looking at? | 02:19 |
| brambo_ | saikor: have you received my private message? | 02:19 |
| saikor | brambo_: no | 02:19 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: both the main partition on the primary and main on the secondary, Both NTFS. the dellutility partition still loads as normal, not NTFS | 02:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | brambo_: only registered users can send/receive pmS | 02:20 |
| erisco | I think open office has a memory leak with images | 02:21 |
| erisco | or something | 02:21 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 but what are the actual partition devices? /dev/sda1? or some other? when you know, type sudo mount /dev/<partition> /mnt in a terminal, see what message you get | 02:21 |
| bruenig | erisco: java. | 02:21 |
| brambo_ | saikor: I ran into a program in Synaptic while installing Java 6...This package is an installer package, it does not actually contrain the JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the archives: | 02:21 |
| erisco | bruenig, its java? should have guessed | 02:21 |
| trey__ | saikor, looks like i have to reboot now hold on... | 02:21 |
| erisco | why do I have HUGE performance issues with java? | 02:21 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: how do I find that? | 02:21 |
| erisco | I cannot even run eclipse | 02:21 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 sudo fdisk -l | 02:22 |
| brambo_ | saikor: says press return to try again i do and it doesnt work | 02:22 |
| bruenig | erisco: because java is awful | 02:22 |
| erisco | it freaking locks and hangs and takes 10 seconds to do a simple text insertion | 02:22 |
| nikrud | erisco you did sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre ? | 02:22 |
| erisco | nikrud, if I didn't have that, I wouldn't be using java | 02:22 |
| prohna | can i upgrade to hardy now? | 02:22 |
| nikrud | bruenig personal opinions don't belong here ;) | 02:22 |
| bruenig | fact | 02:22 |
| erisco | something is fishy | 02:22 |
| nikrud | erisco could have got java another way | 02:22 |
| encryptz | prohna: if you want | 02:22 |
| brambo_ | nikrud: I have done it through Synaptic, not sure who you are talking to there sorry | 02:23 |
| prohna | encryptz: is it stable? | 02:23 |
| erisco | something is terribly, terribly broken with my java | 02:23 |
| encryptz | prohna: some would say yes. others would disagree | 02:23 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: how do I force it | 02:23 |
| nathan42100 | it says unclean shutdown | 02:23 |
| erisco | my computer's specs are fine... but everything java preforms like crap | 02:23 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 ah!!!. Best way is to boot it into windows, let windows fix it | 02:23 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: usually it gives me an error. I'm guessing that why | 02:23 |
| nathan42100 | how do I force it though? | 02:23 |
| erisco | my memory instantly maxes out, and the application gets slower and slower | 02:23 |
| erisco | whenever I run an app gui | 02:24 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: -F? | 02:24 |

| linxeh | erisco: what applications, how much memory, what jvm, etc | 02:24 |
| erisco | linxeh, eclipse, open office presentation, 1GB of memory | 02:24 |
| saikor | brambo_/winterwolf: tried ' sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin' | 02:25 |
| saikor | ? | 02:25 |
| erisco | linxeh, how do I check my jvm, I believe I have more than one installed... | 02:25 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: =o....I just tried to force it and it disappeared... | 02:25 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 I'm not sure, I've never used it. NTFS is windows secret code, and all the stuff in linux is enlightened guesswork. I let windows fix windows stuff. | 02:25 |
| === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan | ||
| winterwolf | saikor: I tryed through Synaptic and terminal like you just typed, | 02:25 |

| nathan42100 | nikrud: for future reference it is -o force. Im gunna restart again, and HOPE it comes back. | 02:26 |
| erisco | and when I exit a java app that is running really, really slowly, you can instantly hear my hard drive going like mad | 02:26 |
| nikrud | nathan42100 neener neener (with ears plugged and eyes covered ;) | 02:26 |
| trey | saikor: well restricted drivers opened... now what? | 02:26 |
| erisco | perhaps it is because it is discarding the memory in the swap space | 02:26 |
| erisco | as it does start overflowing... | 02:26 |
| linxeh | erisco: java -version ? other than that you need to look at your operating system software management tools (control panel, synaptic, system preferences/applications, etc) | 02:26 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud: that doesn't help your nose.... | 02:26 |
| winterwolf | I keep getting disconnected.. | 02:26 |

| Flannel | TantorCFSJA: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks | 02:27 |

| TantorCFSJA | K ty | 02:27 |
| trey | saikor: well... i see a light... hold on lol | 02:27 |
| linxeh | erisco: yes, but that doesnt mean you are using it, or which release, window manager etc (but ok, I thought this was ##java for a minute) | 02:28 |
| erisco | linxeh, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05) | 02:28 |
| nikrud | erisco I agree on the memory thing, I ended up getting 2gb to run eclipse and open office at the same time | 02:28 |
| linxeh | erisco: why are you running 64bit with only 1GB ram? | 02:28 |
| winterwolf | saikor: it ran into a problem while installing sun-java6-doc | 02:28 |
| fany | hay....... | 02:28 |
| erisco | linxeh, I didn't realize 64 bit meant you had to have more ram... | 02:28 |
| === saltedlight is now known as saltedlight_ | ||
| linxeh | you should only be considering 64bit really if you have >2GB RAM - otherwise its just causing problems for yourself | 02:28 |
| erisco | linxeh, why? | 02:29 |
| valros | on the gnome upper bar, do the bars accurately depict wireless conenction? | 02:29 |
| saikor | winterwolf: oh? do you need the docs? | 02:29 |
| erisco | linxeh, I have never heard of this kind of relation before | 02:29 |
| linxeh | erisco: it doesnt - its just there is no real advantage till you get to 2+GB, and below that you have pain because loads of software still isnt 64bit, primarily commercial stuff. plus until recently suns 64bit linux jvm was incomplete (maybe it still is, java plugin etc) | 02:29 |
| winterwolf | saikor: I dont think so but how do I skip that part? | 02:29 |
| erisco | linxeh, I have a 32bit browser, that is fine. other than that all the software runs fine | 02:30 |
| TizzleV | Can anyone help me repair an XFS superblock? | 02:30 |
| saikor | winterwolf: is it just the sun-java6-plugin you are installing? | 02:30 |
| linxeh | erisco: ok :) | 02:30 |
| nathan42100 | nikrud:works now, no windows | 02:30 |
| saikor | winterwolf: also, what error are you getting installing the docs? | 02:30 |
| nathan42100 | :-p | 02:30 |
| linxeh | erisco: regardless, you need more ram :) | 02:30 |
| erisco | linxeh, I do a lot of crap on this computer, and I wasn't really interested in wasting 3/4 of my processor power | 02:30 |
| linxeh | erisco: you could try running fluxbox / xfce4 to reduce your ram usage though | 02:30 |
| erisco | linxeh, I don't think I should. if java really takes that much ram it is utterly useless | 02:30 |
| linxeh | erisco: you wont waste any processing power really | 02:31 |
| trey | saikor: do you mind me sending you a screenshot? | 02:31 |
| saikor | trey: go for it. | 02:31 |
| winterwolf | saikor: Its hard to explain, can I message you via another program and send you a screenshot? | 02:31 |
| sk8ball | how can i get X back to the original configuration that ubuntu detected on its own? | 02:31 |
| linxeh | erisco: ok, fair enough, but Gnome etc is eating loads of that ram up already. openoffice just hogs memory big time, and so does eclipse. it's not java so much, just the way those apps are written (or in the case of eclipse, just how rich it is) | 02:32 |
| saikor | errr you could delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf (MAKE A BACKUP) | 02:32 |
| trey | saikor: did you get it? | 02:32 |
| winterwolf | saikor: brb | 02:32 |
| saikor | trey: no | 02:32 |

| Silvanov | i just checked out ebox, but it doesnt do apache config/admin | 02:51 |
| Groty | So, I've used Yahoo IM for years for work. I've become addicted to the SMS client in the newer versions, so much better than sending a text through my phone. I've noticed Pidgin doesn't support the feature and the latest versions of YIM don't work in Wine. Is there another option? | 02:51 |

| Groty | Silvanov - Thx, that requires a provider - Yahoo has it's own | 02:54 |
| adrock358 | Ok. I had a dual install (win/ubunt). I was having problems getting on the net and decided it would be better to just do a fresh install. So, I erased the partition that ubuntu was installed on (on my WD 320 gb HD). At the same time, I decided to increase my Windows Partition size, so I did that using Gparted. I repartitioned the unallocated space, that partly housed my past Ubuntu installation. So, I erased the Ubuntu partition from my singular HD, | 02:54 |
| Pelo | RickX, I know it can be done in xcfe but I don'T know if you can do it in gnome | 02:55 |

| barnaby | Hi all. I have a long winded question, forgive me please. Here goes: @ hd's in pc, orig. Vista. Gparted wiped em both installed Gutsy on sda1. Sda2 not seen by gutsy, puppy sees it. Do I add entry in fstab? Install on 2nd hd? please to advise, sorry if flood. | 03:26 |
| Scunizi | sk8ball, intel.. hang on | 03:26 |
| LadyNikon | bleh | 03:26 |
| Pelo | StevenX, I think you need to setup your ipod in amarok as a music library or some such, tehre are totorials about it in theforum | 03:26 |
| spiniker | and it takes to long to shut down.. | 03:26 |
| rust | Pelo, Nope, that didn't work either. | 03:27 |
| StevenX | Pelo, thanks. | 03:27 |
| fade2black | whats the music cd ripping program | 03:27 |
| Pelo | rust, you are putting some numbers in right ? | 03:27 |

| Azur3 | what irc client are you all using? just curious, I'm running chatzilla through firefox | 03:28 |
| rust | Pelo, I wanted to check it wasn't something I was doing wrong, I'm running Hardy so I guess I'll pop over to ubuntu+1 | 03:28 |
| rust | make sure it's not a known bug | 03:29 |
| bazhang | Azur3: the madwifi drivers support that card; the reason for it being listed as 5006 in ubuntu may be a problem with ubuntu not searching for subsection ids (or so I've read) | 03:29 |
| rust | Pelo, ty for the help | 03:29 |
| Pelo | rust shouldn't make a differentce but be my guest, that was my only guess | 03:29 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html here is more info azur3 | 03:30 |
| barnaby | Anyone care to take a stab at my second hard drive being a no-show? | 03:30 |
| Azur3 | bazhang: ok thank you | 03:30 |
| Pelo | barnaby, pastebin it | 03:30 |
| Scunizi | sk8ball, there's a package in synaptic called xserver-xorg-video-opench that comes from http://www.openchrome.org.. that might be it. | 03:30 |

| Mezriss | greetings. I | 03:31 |
| bazhang | StevenX: this is the latest iPod? | 03:31 |
| Pelo | barnaby, I thought this was a fstab problem which is why I asked for a pastebin, I missread the word stab for fstab | 03:31 |
| StevenX | bazhang, it is a 5.5g ipod. | 03:31 |
| Pelo | anyway i have to go , later folks | 03:31 |
| barnaby | installed gutsy, asked me which drive to put it on, I said sda1 | 03:31 |
| barnaby | sda2 does not show up | 03:32 |
| bazhang | cya pelo | 03:32 |
| barnaby | i know it's theroot off a puppy disk, there it ise, I can b | 03:32 |
| Mezriss | I've installed libc6 2.7 from hardy to my gutsy install instead of 2.6 and now I get messages about unsatisfied dependencies. deb installer doesn't work due to this | 03:32 |
| bazhang | StevenX: not sure what that means; is this a newer iPod? | 03:32 |
| Mezriss | how can I fix it? | 03:33 |
| StevenX | bazhang, yes. | 03:33 |
| barnaby | i musta merged messages | 03:33 |
| bazhang | Mezriss: always a bad idea to add hardy stuff to gutsy; no telling what might have been damaged | 03:33 |
| barnaby | i can boot into puppy and there it is | 03:33 |
| Mezriss | ther's a lit of libraries that have broken dependencies | 03:34 |
| barnaby | but gutsy does na see it | 03:34 |
| bazhang | StevenX: that requires compiling libgpod 0.6.0 for gutsy or waiting three weeks for Hardy and getting it in the release | 03:34 |
| Mezriss | but what can I do now? how can I get the vercion I need back? | 03:34 |
| rust | barnaby, what device handle does puppy give it | 03:34 |
| bazhang | Mezriss: you are in trouble as far as I can see; doing things the way you did may require a backup and reinstall | 03:35 |
| StevenX | bazhang, I found the tutorial on ubuntuforums.org. Thank you. One last question. Will Amarok let me delete and make queues? | 03:35 |
| barnaby | man i misremember, but it does see it, hda1? sda1? | 03:35 |
| bazhang | StevenX: you mean playlists? is that queues? fairly sure the answer is yes | 03:35 |
| barnaby | i never formatted it, just wiped it with gparted. Maybe that's the prob? | 03:35 |
| Mezriss | is it possible to get libc6 2.6 sourcw and compile it to replace 2.7? | 03:36 |
| StevenX | bazhang, yes, playlists. thank you. | 03:36 |
| Azur3 | bazhang: it says to inter the 7.10 gusty gibbon disk release i386 | 03:36 |

| Henry | how to build the local area network in linux | 03:38 |
| bazhang | Henry: please give much more info on what you wish to do | 03:39 |
| dassouki | Henry, that's a tough question to answer, what exactly do you want to do? | 03:39 |
| icanhasadmin | barnaby: lol, maybe a google search will do you good :) fdisk allows you to partition CLI, mkfs allows you to set the file system | 03:39 |
| Mezriss | oh.... it IS possible to force synaptic to install older version | 03:39 |
| jrib | NW2190: if you do 'vnoremap > >gv' in your .vimrc, it will work nicer (stays highlighted). Also, #vim is more likely to help with these kind of things | 03:39 |
| Mezriss | I'm saved | 03:39 |
| Henry | just use the network to connect to my desktop | 03:40 |
| barnaby | icanhasadmin: let me throw another at you: I saved my homedir to a ext hd, reinstalled gutsy, chmodded the root dir to import saved homedir, now when I go to restore perm bits on home it disappears | 03:40 |
| bazhang | Henry: if you give cryptic info we will give cryptic answers | 03:40 |
| barnaby | all question-marky | 03:40 |
| icanhasadmin | barnaby: please describe "restore perm bits".. you mean just running files that were in your old home directory? | 03:41 |
| barnaby | i replaced the home directory that came with my fresh install with the home directory from my last install | 03:42 |
| barnaby | and changed the permission bits on root to do so; to import it from my external hd | 03:42 |
| tarelerulz | Do you have to when You compile stuff do you to do sudo ./configure , sudo make , sudo make install ? | 03:43 |
| icanhasadmin | barnaby: so i don't understand the problems? | 03:43 |
| barnaby | now when i try to chmod the bits on my home dir it disappears | 03:43 |

| icanhasadmin | barnaby: describe the error message when you restart x? | 03:45 |
| icanhasadmin | barnaby: i mean did you just chmod +x ? | 03:45 |
| barnaby | here's waht i do: cmod 644 home | 03:45 |

| MidgetSpy | hey all, on a default install of 7.10 my onboard sound worked perfectly with no tinkering. I just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.24.3 and after rebooting I'm now getting also errors "No such device". I assume this means that some of the default options on the new kernel are different and I didn't load the module for my sound card, correct? How can I find out what it was and load it? | 03:49 |
| bazhang | Azur3: wow that was fast; you did all that yourself? congrats! | 03:50 |
| barnaby | when I change permissions back and do ls -la home doesn't display as dwrxrwxrwx... it looks like this ?........??? | 03:50 |
| Azur3 | bazhang: thanks, I'll prolly hang around this channel to see what else I can learn about linux, do you have any sites I should read about the basics? | 03:51 |

| tritium | tarelerulz: why are you compiling it, rather than using the ubuntu package? | 03:53 |
| pedrosanta | Anyone ever tried Plan 9 or Inferno? | 03:53 |
| bazhang | MidgetSpy: any reason for that kernel upgrade? | 03:53 |
| icanhasadmin | tritium: obviously compiling is more fun. | 03:53 |
| isforinsects | What does it mean when my dmesg is spitting out req's from me to my dns ip? | 03:53 |
| tritium | icanhasadmin: no, there is nothing obvious about that | 03:53 |
| MidgetSpy | bazhang: well I needed to change an option and recompile and it seemed easier and more logical to compile the newest stable instead of recompiling my old one | 03:53 |
| tarelerulz | tritium , from what I read that is the only way to get gtalk's voice chat . | 03:53 |

| Empire666 | looks like running "nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 1" in wine will mute the sound and "nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0" to unmute it but there might be a wat to mute it in "gnome-sound-manager --help" or "gnome-sound-volume --help-all" | 03:54 |

| barnaby | yeah, my issues usually are. It will occur to me after I spend some time being stupid. I know the light will come on. Night all. | 03:56 |

| Starnestommy | Shi: is it behind a firewall? | 04:00 |
| joinmeindeath | do you have any clue? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | Shi: You don't need 22 open on the client box, just the server box. It already is open on the server, you just need to forward if you're doing the router thing | 04:00 |
| Shi | i just recently install ubuntu on my pentium iii i have nothing addition afaik | 04:00 |
| Shi | hmm | 04:01 |
| Shi | k ill try that | 04:01 |
| Starnestommy | Shi: did you run sudo apt-get install openssh-server? | 04:01 |
| Shi | just go to my router page and open up port 22? | 04:01 |
| Shi | yup | 04:01 |
| Shi | >Starn yup | 04:01 |
| Starnestommy | Shi: if the ssh server is behind that router, open port 22 on it | 04:01 |
| smallfry | how do i get the sound working when i play movies? | 04:01 |
| Flannel | Shi: If you're both behind the same router, you won't need to forward to reach it (just go to the LAN ip of the server) | 04:01 |
| Shi | weell i also want my friend to be able to log in | 04:02 |
| Shi | so ild still have to open port 22 i think? | 04:02 |
| Henry | and i can't use the java in my system | 04:02 |
| Shi | if hes from elsewhere | 04:02 |
| Flannel | Shi: right, for that you'll need to forward port 22 in the router to point to your server | 04:02 |

Can this 'margin' be reduced to 0 so that you CAN hide the cursor off in the bottom right corner? | 04:09 |
| Shi | there different levels of administrator privilages? | 04:09 |
| Flannel | Shi: The nice thing about using sudo over su is you can give him access to certain things, and not others (apt-get but not fdisk, or whatnot) | 04:09 |
| Shi | since he wants to setyp a gameserver thingy hes making | 04:09 |

| Shi | k how do i remove fdisk? | 04:10 |
| Henry | how to use the gcc just install it and run it ? | 04:10 |
| thundr2 | Shi: As far as installing it, you should also be able to find it in the add/remove menu in Gnome as well, though if you're installing emacs, you should learn to love the command prompt. | 04:10 |

| Steven1 | izinucs doesn't do anything. | 04:22 |

| izinucs | Steve1, sorry tried to get the bot to help out | 04:23 |
| egc | hi all | 04:23 |
| niuq | hi there's a way to install ubuntu over a logical partition? | 04:23 |
| Steven1 | The boot splash I believe. I got the login one. | 04:23 |
| Trey | I installed Ubuntu but it dosn't seem to be detecting my laptop screen any ideas on how to fix that | 04:23 |
| jamesish | AdrianStrays: looks like the trash folder is .Trash in your home dir, so just symlink that the same way. ln -s ~/.Trash Desktop/Trash | 04:23 |
| egc | off the top of their head, can anybody suggest some free DNS services like zoneedit? | 04:23 |
| jamesish | egc: use tinydns, it's awesome. | 04:24 |
| izinucs | niuq, you mean IN a logical partition ... yes | 04:24 |

| niuq | izinucs: mm im confused, i thought you needed an active partition to load an os, and you can't active a logical partition, can you? | 04:24 |
| Steven1 | Yeah well it said that this particular step was going to change grub and backing up was recommended. So it would be 3)splash I believe. | 04:24 |

| AdrianStrays | A link appeared, but it didn't connect to the trash | 04:26 |

| ubobo | ni men shi gan hen me de | 04:26 |
| Henry | which game can run in linux OS | 04:26 |
| Steven1 | travista: Well I saw a mention of splash in the grub list. So I think you change the splash from in there. Not sure how exactly though. | 04:27 |
| Trey | anyone able to help me | 04:27 |
| Steven1 | Henry: Next to nothing. | 04:27 |
| niuq | izinucs: i'm just wondering xD!!,... actually i have a dual boot with linux and windows an they are IN (xD) primary partitions | 04:27 |
| izinucs | niuq, what happens on install is ubuntu uses the grub boot manager. I you're doing a dual boot then on boot you'll get the grub menu and will be able to choose windows or ubuntu. Grub points to the correct location | 04:27 |
| Flannel | !cn | ubobo | 04:27 |
| Shi | is it possible remotely to log onto Ubuntu and use the GUI enviroment remotely? | 04:27 |
| travisat | Steven1: all that does is tell grub to boot the kernel with the splash option, the only other thing might be other kernel options to pass | 04:27 |
| Flannel | ubobo: /join #ubuntu-cn | 04:28 |
| icanhasadmin | Shi: vnc? | 04:28 |
| izinucs | niuq, it doesn't matter if ubuntu is in logical or primary | 04:28 |
| travisat | Steven1: also unless you reboot often you won't see the splash very often. I personally like seeing text in case something goes wrong so I can see it | 04:28 |
| Henry | next to nothing? | 04:28 |
| niuq | izinucs: so i don't need a primary partition at all? | 04:28 |

| fragged | or maybe learn2use linux :D | 04:56 |
| travisat | chris062689: google for free cd burners, there are several for windows, | 04:56 |
| cwillu | chris062689, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick, look at Preparing the Flash Drive manually | 04:56 |
| punga | I was hoping someone here might have some experience in this area? | 04:57 |
| Shadow420 | ok I want to add ubuntu linux to my windows bootloader instead of grub overriding the MBR how do that | 04:57 |
| Odd-rationale | MTecknology: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ? | 04:57 |
| icanhasadmin | Shadow4 | 04:57 |
| izinucs | travisat, he wants to create a live bootable cd on a flash drive without installing it on a flash drive.. for a reinstall.. | 04:57 |
| icanhasadmin | Shadow4 | 04:57 |
| dissocia7ive | then it has native language support? | 04:57 |
| icanhasadmin | hm, i'm sorry that was odd | 04:57 |
| travisat | izinucs: ah | 04:57 |
| FloodBot1 | icanhasadmin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:57 |
| MTecknology | Odd-rationale, do you know how to reassign UUID? | 04:57 |
| cwillu | chris062689, and then use something like daemontools to mount the iso to copy the files where they need to go, or just burn a cd and go that way | 04:57 |
| corinth | Tried installing it using the add/remove tool, Steven1? | 04:57 |
| chris062689 | and I have to use Windows. | 04:57 |
| Odd-rationale | MTecknology: nope. sorry. | 04:57 |
| chris062689 | You can't just copy / paste them onto the jumpdrive. | 04:57 |
| dissocia7ive | I havent used ubuntu like since years | 04:57 |
| cwillu | chris062689, how do you mean? | 04:57 |
| izinucs | travisat, and he neglects to put all the info on one line so others know what he's talking abot. | 04:58 |

| Ava- | guys I set autologin up under gdm.conf but whenever it autologs in the res is wrong | 04:58 |
| Ava- | if I just manually logged in before that wasn't the case | 04:58 |
| chris062689 | You can't just copy / paste the files onto the jumpdrive, you have to do it a certain way. | 04:58 |
| travisat | izinucs: heh | 04:58 |
| Ava- | anyone know what's going on? | 04:58 |
| iowahc | Hy, i created a new swap partition, how do i add an uuid to it? | 04:58 |
| cwillu | chris062689, did you read the link I posted? it tells you how to set it up from windows | 04:58 |
| chris062689 | I don't need to INSTALL ubuntu onto the jumpdrive, just boot the installer from the jumpdrive. | 04:58 |
| bazhang | chris062689: I gave you a link as well best read up a bit | 04:58 |
| cwillu | chris062689, that's how you do it | 04:58 |
| icanhasadmin | chris062689: although ubuntu actually does install very well on a flash drive | 04:59 |
| Steven1 | corinth: Found out it's not 'manager' it's 'navigator' that I have installed. The message I get is: Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. | 04:59 |
| izinucs | chris062689, your getting bad answers because you are not stating everything you want to do in one post.. there's almost 1200 people in here.. | 04:59 |
| corinth | Steven1, did you enable your graphics card's accelerated driver? | 04:59 |
| punga | FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia_new <- what could be causing this? | 04:59 |
| cwillu | chris062689, if you're just wanting to use wubi, then just copying the files across will also work, just launch the autorun.ini file by hand on the target | 05:00 |
| Steven1 | corinth: Yes. It's a 'restricted' driver but I got it. | 05:00 |
| osphy | Is there any way to recover password without cd and single user asks for password ? | 05:00 |
| Steven1 | corinth: Ok the Awn manager is oddly working now. | 05:01 |
| corinth | Steven1, Right-click on the desktop and select "change desktop background" to get to the appearance preferences. Then, click on the Visual Effects tab. Tell me which option is selected there. | 05:01 |
| izinucs | cwillu, he wants to install a live cd image to a flash for reinstall.. not install to a flash for running as a hd.. | 05:01 |
| Shadow420 | I want to add ubuntu to my windows bootloader instead of grub overriding the MBR how do that? | 05:01 |
| Steven1 | corinth: None is selected. | 05:01 |
| cwillu | izinucs, that's what I was telling him to do (chris062689, ) | 05:01 |
| corinth | Select either "Normal" or "Extra". That should fix your problem, Steven1. | 05:01 |
| cwillu | izinucs, (chris062689, ) the first stage of installing to the flash drive on a eeepc is installing the livecd image to a usb thumbdrive in a bootable fashion | 05:02 |
| izinucs | cwillu, ah ok.. I didn't look at the link.. just was following his multiline posts and put things together. | 05:02 |

| Ava- | if I manually login the same user that doesn't happen | 05:06 |
| Ava- | any ideas? | 05:06 |
| cwillu | Ava-, how did you configure gdm.conf? | 05:07 |
| cwillu | Ava-, pastebin it | 05:07 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | 05:07 |

| maog_ | hey the vmsplice or w/e exploit is it still exploitable on 7.10 on website? | 05:07 |
| Steven1 | Floodbot is Odd. | 05:07 |

| themime | does ubuntu have a network manager for wifi? | 05:08 |
| corinth | Steven1: Yeah, just thinking. | 05:08 |
| Steven1 | I belive it's built in themime. | 05:08 |
| themime | Steven1: how do i access it? | 05:09 |
| cwillu | Ava-, I don't think you want timedlogin enabled | 05:09 |
| Ava- | cw: what about line 3? | 05:09 |
| Odd-rationale | In-Sane: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | 05:09 |

| Ava- | yeah yeah | 05:09 |
| Ava- | :) | 05:09 |

| themime | Steven1: i have a extremely basic install with fluxbox | 05:10 |
| izinucs | Feels like we're in the stone age without the bot.. no shortcuts | 05:10 |

| iowahc | my X always has a load of 10%+ , running Gutsy with Compiz enabled, normal? | 05:10 |
| Steven1 | themime: Have no idea what that is. | 05:10 |
| Ava- | cw: it's using compiz | 05:10 |
| cwillu | Ava-, you can tell mythtv to change the resolution in the frontend (its in one of the menus), | 05:10 |
| Ava- | you tell it what res to use | 05:11 |
| Ava- | but it won't change the res of your desktop | 05:11 |
| cwillu | Ava-, alternatively an appropriate xrandr command could be put in a script to be launched at the start | 05:11 |
| Ava- | hmm | 05:11 |
| Ava- | no farmiliar | 05:11 |
| Ava- | not* | 05:11 |
| cwillu | Ava-, that's how I've got mine setup to work (didn't have the patience to do it the right way :p) | 05:11 |
| cwillu | Ava-, something like "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768" should get you started | 05:12 |
| cwillu | although it depends on the card and such (just xrandr by itself should give you some clue) | 05:12 |

| owen1 | ? | 05:28 |
| AdrianStrays | Thanks | 05:28 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: you have the networkmanager applet running in your notification area on your panel? | 05:28 |

| owen1 | dpkp -L paint* | 05:29 |
| izinucs | owen1, or if you haven't installed anything yet you might try Add/Remove or Synaptic as graphical installers. | 05:29 |
| nikrud | owen1 you need the full actual package name I think | 05:29 |
| Name141 | I found the supposed driver for it online , on the brother site | 05:29 |
| Steven1 | crdlb: I'm going to restart and see if compiz works then. | 05:30 |
| owen1 | nikrud: ok. so if i get it right. apt-get will install my app in the current dir, and i don't need to delete any file. | 05:30 |
| themime | Odd-rationale: heh, well, im actually running ubuntu-server on my laptop because it only has 128MB ram, and ubuntu was too much for it, and i have fluxbox. i apt-get install network-manager, but my understanding is that it is just a plain daemon. do i HAVE to install a gui to use it? | 05:30 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: it should come with a gui. in a run dialog try "nm-applet? | 05:31 |
| Odd-rationale | *"nm-applet" | 05:31 |
| nikrud | owen1 no, it doesn't install to the current dir, it gets installed where the package is defined to go. usually it'll put stuff in /usr/bin , /usr/share , and often /etc | 05:31 |
| themime | Odd-rationale: not installed, needs network-manager-gnome. someone suggested this earlier but i was hoping i could do this without installing 1000 gnome dependencies | 05:32 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: i see. | 05:32 |
| diagon | I'm interested in always booting to bash and only loading X if I need it for something, could someone tell me where it says to load X up in the boot process? | 05:33 |
| nikrud | owen1 the flow is it downloads the package to /var/cache/apt/archive , then extracts it to the proper locations, and optionally runs some commands to let the rest of the system know it's installed | 05:33 |
| owen1 | nikrud: great. is it the same when i compile and install an app? (./configure make make install)? | 05:33 |
| diagon | or after the boot process or whatever | 05:33 |
| themime | Odd-rationale: is there some alternate, or should i find out how to manually do it and make a script? | 05:33 |
| nikrud | owen1 no, that's where you do need to think about location. By default, most will install into /usr/local/<some dirs> | 05:33 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: I dont know how to connect to a wireless network from the command line in Ubuntu. I do know how to do it in Arch. :P | 05:33 |
| owen1 | nikrud: got it. thanks a lot. | 05:34 |
| themime | hehe, ok thanks anyway, ill just google it | 05:34 |
| nikrud | owen1 you can do ./configure --help , and it will tell you much. Including the installation directories | 05:34 |
| themime | and if not, ill come back and see if someone knows how, or check ##linux | 05:34 |

| sphinxx | hi can someone pm me, i need help setting up partitions for ubuntu | 05:35 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: It is better to ask in the channel. What help do you need? | 05:35 |
| nikrud | owen1 no. I usually have a directory in my home called projects, and compile in there. The main reason to do the compiling in home is you have easy editing of the files | 05:35 |
| diagon | I'm trying to tell my machine to not automatically load X windows, but to instead go directly to bash... | 05:35 |
| sphinxx | Ok, thanks, I hate to sound like a noob but I am with linux, I have a laptop 30gb hard drive, I want to partition for ubuntu - i have the 7.10 alternate cd | 05:36 |
| sphinxx | i want to leave 16gb or so for a later windows xp install | 05:36 |
| diagon | I remember I did it before, by changing default_window_manager (somewhere) = /usr/bin/bash I Think | 05:36 |
| nikrud | diagon install sysv-rc-conf , and turn off gdm. Next boot you will get bash. | 05:36 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: it is a better idea to install xp first | 05:36 |
| Shi | I created user accounts for friends and w have discovered that while I installed emacs they get fatal erros/core dumps trying to use emacs | 05:36 |
| Shi | what could be the problem | 05:36 |
| Steven1 | Ah damnit. The toolbars are all gone again | 05:36 |
| diagon | nikrud: this is actually for a box that doesn't have an internet connection :P | 05:36 |
| diagon | nikrud: so I was trying to muck about in the files (figure it's somewhere in /etc) | 05:37 |
| sphinxx | when I do install ubuntu though, how many partitions will I need? | 05:37 |
| nikrud | diagon ah. then, sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm /etc/rc2.d/K30gdm | 05:37 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: install xp normally first. then the ubuntu installer will offer you to shrink the xp partition. and setup for dual-booting | 05:37 |
| fivehorizons | Thanks for the help Odd-rationale and n2diy | 05:37 |
| owen1 | nikrud: so the way to choose a location is by adding an argument to ./configure | 05:37 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: reccomend 2 | 05:37 |
| diagon | ahhhh that's right, the S->K thing | 05:37 |
| diagon | thanks very much | 05:37 |
| sphinxx | because i get confused, intially I see it just needs /root and swap | 05:37 |
| sphinxx | but then I see it says its a good idea to have /home and there are others too? | 05:38 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: one for root (/) and another for swap. | 05:38 |
| Steven1 | Yeah the minimize and maximize buttons on firefox are gone. | 05:38 |

| alan_m | recommended 2, you CAN have home on a 3rd, but that gets things complicated for a newer user. in my opinion Sphinxx | 05:38 |
| nikrud | owen1 exactly. --prefix=/usr is common, but in general you should install to /usr/local , it's defined in the file hierarchy standard as the place for locally compiled apps/libs | 05:38 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: a /home partition is a generally a good idea | 05:38 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: But you can even get away with just one / | 05:38 |
| sphinxx | how big should a /home partition be, if my complete linux space is going to be about 14gb | 05:38 |
| Azur3 | ok, flash isn't working on firefox (7.10 ubuntu is distro) I have installed missing plugins, restarted firefox, and it says that i still need to install missing plugins, that adobe is already installed | 05:38 |
| Azur3 | should I uninstall adobe and try again? and if so how would I do that? | 05:39 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: that size i would not make a separte home partions | 05:39 |
| nikrud | sphinxx with that small a partition, it makes better sense to not have a separate home. you're gonna squeeze something otherwise | 05:39 |
| sphinxx | hmm ok | 05:39 |
| sol1tude|afk | hello, somebody knows something abouut grub error 14 ? it appears when i try to boot my 7.0.4 | 05:39 |
| sol1tude|afk | ? | 05:39 |
| sphinxx | this is a lot faster than forums heh | 05:39 |
| owen1 | nikrud: and if i don't do anything i need to hope that the creator of the app decided to install in /usr/local/ ? | 05:40 |
| alan_m | sphinxx, instant reply's are awesome eh :) | 05:40 |
| nikrud | sphinxx think in terms of at least 5-6gb for / if you still want to have a separate. home. I use 12gb. | 05:40 |

| warriorness | hey all, what package do i install to get fonts such as Impact for openoffice? | 05:42 |
| bung | hey i just got a new usb external with a sata drive in there, should i mount with sync or no? | 05:42 |
| alan_m | sphinxx, because installing it later would wipe out GRUB...and thats bad. | 05:42 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: xp can't find if ubuntu is installed. | 05:42 |
| sphinxx | but if i have just have a partition ready to install xp on, that wouldn't work? | 05:42 |
| Odd-rationale | at least not for me | 05:42 |
| sphinxx | like i would make a /boot in the first 100mb of the hard disk | 05:42 |
| taurusivy | hi, how can i match '2' in the middle of two whitespace in regexp in awk? | 05:42 |
| sphinxx | for the boot loader or whatever | 05:42 |
| nikrud | warriorness it's downloaded and installed for you by msttcorefonts. ubuntu-restricted-extras will pull in that package, as well as some others that are useful | 05:43 |
| warriorness | mhm | 05:44 |
| warriorness | nikrud: thanks | 05:44 |
| nikrud | sphinxx no need to have a /boot partition anymore, that's a holdover from when it was a requirement for lilo (the linux loader) | 05:44 |
| Odd-rationale | or if you have an old bios | 05:44 |
| owen1 | nikrud: i don't see info about installation location...i guess migel de casa didn't think about it.. | 05:44 |
| nikrud | owen1 hahahahaha I'd trust that guy | 05:44 |
| sphinxx | so where is the boot loader like grub stored if theres no /boot partition | 05:45 |
| owen1 | nikrud: i guess... | 05:45 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: in /boot | 05:45 |
| Flannel | sphinxx: /boot is inside of / if there is no separate partition | 05:45 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: but it wont be on a sep partition | 05:45 |
| nikrud | sphinxx in the /boot and /boot/grub directories, and in the mbr | 05:45 |
| sphinxx | oh ok | 05:45 |
| sphinxx | would this work | 05:46 |

| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: please use the pastebin. see the /topic | 05:46 |
| owen1 | nikrud: i want to clean my home.. | 05:47 |
| nikrud | owen1 hm. you compiled it there? If it doesn't do an install, the program will disappear. That is, if there was no make install command run | 05:47 |
| Odd-rationale | what man pages should I read to learn how to connect to a wireless network from the command line? | 05:47 |
| owen1 | nikrud: ok | 05:48 |
| sphinxx | cause i thought there was some weird this, maybe this outdated, but if linux wasnt installed on the first 8.5gb it would mess up | 05:48 |
| sphinxx | cause of the BIOS | 05:48 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: interfaces | 05:48 |
| sphinxx | so if installed xp first it would take up the first 14gb | 05:48 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: and iwconfig | 05:48 |
| nikrud | sphinxx old news. I have mine after a 50gb vista | 05:48 |
| Steven1 | Everytime I run 'emerald --replace' It fixes the menubars on my windows. But then when I close the Terminal window it fails again. How do I fix it permanently? | 05:48 |
| sphinxx | man im such a newbie | 05:48 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: ok thanks! any more? | 05:48 |
| nikrud | Steven1 run it with alt-f2 emerald --replace . | 05:49 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: make sure you have the right packages installed | 05:49 |
| sphinxx | so the only reason for installing xp first is so that i would be able to see linux drives in windows? | 05:49 |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: run it in a run dialog instead of terminal | 05:49 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: basically you get your wireless to show up under iwconfig and ifconfig then edit /etc/network/interfaces to get it to work | 05:49 |
| Steven1 | Odd-rationale: What do you mean run dialog? Isn't that terminal? | 05:49 |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: alt+f2 | 05:49 |
| nikrud | sphinxx mainly so that when you install windows, it doesn't overwrite the part of grub that's written to the mbr and prevent you from booting linux. If you do linux second, it'll automatically add windows to the boot menu | 05:49 |
| Steven1 | Alt+F2 does nothing. | 05:50 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: then /etc/init.d/networking start ? | 05:50 |
| cchild | how do i shred or wipe a linux part by writing 1/0 to it? | 05:50 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: I have done wireless for a while but if you look for slightly older debian how-tos they work for ubuntu | 05:50 |
| wangdaoyu | hello | 05:50 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: haven't I mean | 05:50 |
| cchild | how do i shred or wipe a linux partition by writing 1/0 to it? | 05:50 |
| eshaase | whats the most thorough way to scan my hard disk for errors? | 05:50 |
| nikrud | cchild install wipe | 05:50 |
| sphinxx | oh ok, is there a certain way I configure grub- does it come with the ubuntu cd or is it something separate | 05:51 |
| nikrud | sphinxx it will be the very last thing installed during the ubuntu install | 05:51 |
| cchild | nikrud; linux native? | 05:51 |
| Steven1 | Alt+F2 doesn't open anything. | 05:51 |
| orbisvicis | cchild, cat /dev/zero | 05:51 |
| nikrud | cchild yes, sudo apt-get install wipe | 05:51 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: how do I make ther changes to the /etc/networks/interfaces file take effect? | 05:51 |
| nikrud | Steven1 you using compiz? | 05:51 |
| Steven1 | Ok I got it now | 05:51 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: ifdown [networkinterface like eth0 or wlan0], then ifup [thesame] | 05:52 |
| Steven1 | nikrud: Yes...trying to make it look like Mac OSX. | 05:52 |
| cchild | nikrud, this will write 1 and 0 to the drive | 05:52 |
| JanPeter | hey quick question, how do you clean out files from the bin that are under root permissions? | 05:52 |
| nikrud | sphinxx I prefer to stay in #ubuntu, better to have people watch and catch errors | 05:52 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: oh ok. Thanks! | 05:52 |
| sphinxx | no problem | 05:52 |
| sphinxx | you are being very helpful | 05:52 |
| nikrud | JanPeter in /bin ? You do not want to delete those | 05:52 |
| JanPeter | i meant in the recycling bin | 05:52 |
| JanPeter | sorry | 05:52 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: you can man those to I think to learn them, in your interfaces file if you set the network interface as auto it will connect when you reboot | 05:52 |
| sphinxx | nikrud im just hoping you can guide me in case i hit any errors, im installing windows xp right now | 05:53 |
| nikrud | JanPeter ah, sudo rm ~/.Trash will get rid of them. | 05:53 |
| prohna | attempting to upgrade to hardy alot going wrong about 1 hour in | 05:53 |
| JanPeter | cool, thanks | 05:53 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: ok thanks! | 05:53 |
| cchild | orbisvicis, the drive is dying and i just got the replacement and need to return the defected. so I want to wipe it clean | 05:53 |
| nikrud | sphinxx it's really simple. Install windows, then boot the livecd and tell it to use the remainder of the disk ;) | 05:53 |
| sphinxx | when i was running the ubuntu live cd, i did get this 'I/O Buffer error device fdo" or something like that | 05:53 |
| nikrud | JanPeter stop! | 05:54 |
| sphinxx | someone told me to disable the floppy in the bios, but the bios on this laptop is really simple, there is not that option, nor is there a floppy on the laptop | 05:54 |
| nikrud | JanPeter sudo rm ~/.Trash/* , we want to remove the stuff in the trash ;) | 05:54 |
| sk8ball | question, when i hit "shutdown" option on the low graphics mode when X starts with a config/driver it cant use it drops me into a root console prompt | 05:55 |
| travisat | why with the sudo? | 05:55 |
| sk8ball | is this normal? | 05:55 |
| nikrud | sphinxx it's a bug. see alt-f4 for options to add to the boot, all_generic_ide fixes that if my memory is right | 05:55 |
| sk8ball | i thought the ~root# account is supposed to be inaccessible | 05:55 |

| Odd-rationale | travisat: so currently becuase my wireless device is managed by networkmanager, my interfaces file only contains lo. Correct? | 05:55 |
| orbisvicis | cchild, just for completeness' sake dd using /dev/zero will write zeros. But you should do it more than once | 05:55 |
| nikrud | travisat the cleaning of the trash? he has root owned files in there (from messing with sudo nautilus I'd bet) | 05:55 |
| === MTeck is now known as MTecknology | ||
| travisat | Odd-rationale: I have no idea | 05:56 |
| travisat | nikrud: ah | 05:56 |

| travisat | Odd-rationale: I don't use the gui stuff for network as I like the conf files better | 05:56 |
| nikrud | Odd-rationale yes | 05:56 |
| Steven1 | Ok the next step is to make a launcher for Pidgin and I don't know where it's located. | 05:56 |
| travisat | Steven1: /usr/bin/pidgin ? | 05:56 |
| nikrud | Steven1 you can find where a program is with which , like which pidgin | 05:56 |
| Odd-rationale | nikrud, travisat: ok thanks again | 05:57 |
| sphinxx | nikrud is there any site you can recommend i look at for learning how to do stuff in ubuntu, like i dont know much about the terminal commands and stuff like that | 05:57 |
| cchild | so use the following command "dd /dev/sdb" ? | 05:57 |
| cchild | orbisvicis, "dd /dev/sdb" ? | 05:57 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: www.linuxcommand.org | 05:57 |
| Steven1 | That's odd. I created it and it didn't show up. | 05:57 |
| orbisvicis | cchild, i do not recommend 'fooling' around with dd | 05:57 |

| Odd-rationale | sk8ball: sudo -i | 05:58 |
| travisat | cchild: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb I recommend /dev/urandom instead of 0 | 05:58 |
| nikrud | sphinxx and that linuxcommand.org that Odd-rationale mentioned looks good, I hadn't seen that one yet | 05:59 |
| orbisvicis | travisat, good call on urandom | 05:59 |
| Rob125 | anyone have a novel suggestion as to how to speed up gnome? | 05:59 |
| Flannel | travisat, nikrud, orbisvicis: shred is built-in. | 05:59 |
| Odd-rationale | Rob125: swicth to xfce :) | 05:59 |
| nikrud | Flannel ah, thanks | 05:59 |
| sk8ball | Odd, w/o putting in any password?? | 05:59 |
| travisat | Flannel: hehe shred | 05:59 |
| Rob125 | Odd-rationale: thought about it, definitely. | 05:59 |
| orbisvicis | Flannel, oh | 06:00 |
| Odd-rationale | sk8ball: boot into recovery mode | 06:00 |
| orbisvicis | heh cat /dev/urandom | 06:00 |
| Odd-rationale | Rob125: It is a good choice, btw | 06:00 |
| Rob125 | Odd-rationale: I've run it several times before, but I'm admittedly a bit of a Gnome junkie. | 06:00 |
| Odd-rationale | Rob125: If you use gnome, you get the gnome speed... period. :P | 06:01 |
| Rob125 | I don't run compiz, mostly because this computer can't handle it, but I'm naming my first child Gnomebert. | 06:01 |
| sphinxx | nik, i'm in the xp setup now, doing the partitions, should I just make the partitions for the /root and /home and swap now? | 06:01 |
| Kcaj2 | Hello friends | 06:01 |
| travisat | sphinxx: nah | 06:01 |
| Rob125 | Odd-rationale: True, I suppose | 06:01 |
| sphinxx | just to set up the space | 06:01 |
| sphinxx | this is how i want to do i think | 06:01 |
| nikrud | sphinxx see travisat | 06:01 |
| Flannel | cchild: shred works too, and is already installed (and will automatically iterate through it however many times you want, including random, etc) | 06:01 |
| Kcaj2 | I was wondering if there is any kind of way to utilize multiple network connections at the same time? For instance, if you have access to multiple ISPs and the network adapters to connect to them both simltaneously | 06:01 |
| travisat | sphinxx: just leave enough empty space for linux and let the ubuntu installer guide to free space | 06:01 |
| sphinxx | ok | 06:01 |
| sphinxx | :) | 06:01 |
| Positronic | Does anyone know the link to the website that automatically rebuilds your repositories? | 06:01 |
| Kcaj2 | Is there a way to harness BOTH connections? (or Three, for that matter0 | 06:01 |
| Flannel | Positronic: It's not up anymore, you can do the same thing via Software Sources | 06:02 |
| nikrud | sphinxx see travisat again. Like I said, you're not really using enough space to make a separate / and /home cost effective | 06:02 |
| sphinxx | does anyone know this- the only difference between NTFS format and NTFS format (quick) is that quick doesn check the disk for errors | 06:02 |
| Steven1 | How do you move a whole directory? What's the format? | 06:02 |
| Positronic | Flannel: any recommended Software sources? | 06:02 |
| Flannel | Positronic: the official ones | 06:02 |
| travisat | sphinxx: its more different then that but that is a difference | 06:02 |
| sphinxx | i did quick just cause i don't want to wait | 06:03 |
| Smegzor | oops! I meant chmod. What do I enter to chmod my /home/smegzor folder back to what it was set at when it was created? | 06:03 |
| Positronic | thanks | 06:03 |
| cchild | shred vs wipe vs dd ? | 06:03 |
| Positronic | Flannel, thanks | 06:03 |
| travisat | sphinxx: you normally don't need to do more then quick, although it is suggested for a new hard drive to do a full format | 06:03 |
| amenado | Kcaj2-> yes its possible with the use of iptables and iproute2 tools, look into route policy via google | 06:03 |
| sphinxx | I believe i did a full one on this drive before, so i just did quick now:) | 06:03 |
| nikrud | Smegzor grep 1000 /etc/passwd, find the user name on that line. then sudo chown -R <username>:<username> /home/smegzor | 06:03 |
| Steven1 | What is the correct syntax/commands to move a folder to another folder and overwrite what's there? | 06:03 |
| Smegzor | ok | 06:04 |
| pat5star | is there someway to reload the kicker (isn't that what you call the panel that runs across the bottom of the screen?)? | 06:04 |
| pat5star | after sometime, mine starts to act up | 06:04 |
| orbisvicis | Smegzor, the general idea is chown user:user -R ~/; chmod -R 755 ~/ but there are some special files with different permissions | 06:04 |
| travisat | Steven1: mv | 06:04 |
| Steven1 | travisat: Thanks | 06:04 |
| sphinxx | if I have 512mb ram should my swap be 1024mb or 768mb? | 06:04 |
| amenado | Steven1-> they use mv ... try with sample directories you can create.. | 06:04 |
| Positronic | Flannel, how would I find a repository URL for XGL it appears the current one I have is no longer accessible? | 06:04 |
| Flannel | sphinxx: 1024 | 06:04 |
| nikrud | sphinxx 1024 | 06:04 |
| Smegzor | orbisvicis: do I need to run both of those commands? | 06:05 |
| Flannel | Positronic: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 06:05 |
| Steven1 | travisat: It says 'unable to remove target: Is a directory' | 06:05 |
| amenado | sphinxx-> hard disk memory for swap is so cheap.. | 06:05 |
| Positronic | 7.10 | 06:05 |
| Odd-rationale | So if I had 4gb of ram I should have 8gb of swap? | 06:05 |
| Positronic | Flannel, 7.10 | 06:05 |
| travisat | Steven1: mv -r | 06:05 |
| nikrud | Smegzor you probably shouldn't, there are a few things that will break if you set them to 755 | 06:05 |
| Odd-rationale | 4gb of swap seems to be the max for me... | 06:05 |
| cchild | which is best for wiping a disk, shred vs wipw vs dd? | 06:05 |
| Flannel | Positronic: Gutsy already does that sort of stuff, you don't need third party repos for it | 06:05 |
| sphinxx | isnt swap only used when theres absolute no RAM left? | 06:06 |
| sphinxx | and how often does that actulaly happen | 06:06 |
| Smegzor | no sh*t? :) I've already broken them | 06:06 |
| nikrud | sphinxx not quite. | 06:06 |
| Rob125 | travisat: mv -r shouldn't work, no? just plain mv should suffice... | 06:06 |
| Steven1 | travisat: 'mv: invalid options -- r' | 06:06 |
| orbisvicis | chown -R user:user mybad | 06:06 |
| travisat | Rob125: lol you are right | 06:06 |
| cchild | i meant wipe | 06:06 |
| tarelerulz | I have been looking for hours and maybe days I have yet to see any client that use Jingle voice . Kopete does ,but I can get to compile . Jabbin and could not get to even connect . Everything is old . Nothing for 2008 . Is there any client that can talk to gtalk's voice | 06:06 |
| sphinxx | you guys have answer questions that would have probably taken me the whole day to find out on forums:) | 06:06 |
| travisat | Steven1: sorry mv should of done it | 06:06 |
| nikrud | sphinxx it swaps out unused stuff to make room for stuff that is used. It's smarter than just waiting till ram is full | 06:06 |
| Positronic | Flannel, when I installed 7.10 I needed to do it to get hardware acceleration to work, otherwise I had mesa | 06:06 |
| sizzle | where should i go to find some php scripts | 06:07 |
| amenado | Odd-rationale-> umm on a 32bit system, you barely could even achieve 3gig from what I understood..the last 1gig is somehow not easily achievable.. | 06:07 |
| Flannel | cchild: dd isn't. shred is already installed, if you've installed wipe, then I guess they're both already installed. I've never actually used wipe. | 06:07 |
| travisat | Steven1: what exactly are you trying to do | 06:07 |
| Flannel | Positronic: That doesn't mean it's not in the repositories, just that it isn't enabled for everyone by default | 06:07 |
| nikrud | I always installed wipe, never knew shred even existed | 06:07 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: i guess that's true... | 06:07 |
| Steven1 | travisat: I'm moving a replacement 'Pidgin' into the old ones spot. | 06:07 |
| travisat | Steven1: are you trying to keep any part of the old one? | 06:07 |
| Smegzor | nikrud: Is there a number other than 755 I should use or will things break regardless of the number used? | 06:07 |
| Steven1 | travisat: I'm just skinning it I believe. | 06:08 |
| cchild | Flannel, can shred over write an entire disk? | 06:08 |
| sphinxx | cant wait to get this double boot set up:) | 06:08 |
| Flannel | cchild: yes | 06:08 |
| travisat | Steven1: the use cp and delete from the original | 06:08 |
| nikrud | Smegzor well, off the top of my head you definitely need ~/.dmrc as 600 | 06:08 |
| Steven1 | travisat: It's the Pidgin in the pixmaps folder. | 06:08 |
| Flannel | cchild: and over individual files as well | 06:08 |
| sphinxx | I was also reading about making separate partitions for /tmp and such, does this actually speed things up? | 06:08 |
| travisat | Steven1: are you using sudo if its in /usr/share? | 06:08 |
| sphinxx | like i know on windows there is fragmentation but so there is a benefit, but linux there is none ? | 06:09 |
| nikrud | Smegzor and looking there .Xauthority needs 600 as well | 06:09 |
| Smegzor | hmm.. I have other users that I haven't been foolish enough to mess with, I could look at the permissions there. Is there some way to see the permissions of each directory using ls ? | 06:09 |
| Positronic | Flannel, I guess what I am saying is I get an error when doing the update manager stating that the XGL repository might no longer be available as it was unable to download the index for it? | 06:09 |
| cchild | flannel, "shred /dev/sda -n 8" would this work? | 06:09 |
| Steven1 | travisat: Yes tried to use 'sudo cp pidgin' and 'sudo mv pidgin' | 06:09 |
| Rob125 | Smegzor: if you're running MySQL, you should make sure you also chmod 600 your .mysql_history | 06:09 |
| Positronic | Flannel, you must forgive me as I am somewhat new to the linux environment as well | 06:09 |
| orbisvicis | 2³² = 4GB so obviously the max; so why is the cap slightly under 4Gb ? | 06:10 |
| nikrud | Smegzor and another you'd probably want 600 is .dbus-keyrings | 06:10 |
| Flannel | cchild: arguments go in between shred and the thing to shred, but yes. shred -n 8 /dev/sda | 06:10 |
| travisat | Steven1: ok I am confused are you trying to replace a directory or a single file | 06:10 |
| Steven1 | travisat: sudo cp pidgin gives this: 'cp: omitting directory 'pidgin' ' | 06:10 |
| tarelerulz | any one use gtalk voice chat at all on Linux ? | 06:10 |
| Smegzor | what about my idea of listing directories permissions? Is that possible> | 06:10 |
| travisat | Steven1: ok for cp use cp -r | 06:10 |
| Flannel | Positronic: Just remove it entirely, Ubuntu deprecates the need for third party repos for eyecandy | 06:10 |
| Steven1 | travisat: The whole usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin folder. | 06:11 |
| Flannel | Positronic: er, newer versions, that is. | 06:11 |
| FY1 | what is the program that tracks input/output. It starts with like x or z... It will tell you the key that was pressed, mouse button, input from a controller or something | 06:11 |
| Rob125 | Smegzor: yeah, you can do an ls -al | 06:11 |
| Smegzor | thanks :D | 06:11 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: I was reading through man interfaces. But how do I select a network essid and where do I put the wpa password? | 06:11 |
| cchild | flannel, shred -z- u -n 8 /dev/sda is what am thinking | 06:11 |
| Rob125 | Smegzor: if they're big, don't forget to pipe it to less :) | 06:11 |
| cchild | flannel, shred -z -u -n 8 /dev/sda is | 06:11 |
| amenado | orbisvicis-> http://dansdata.com/askdan00015.htm | 06:11 |
| travisat | Steven1: in the /etc/network/interfaces, I suggest you google for debian wireless setup or something like that | 06:11 |
| Steven1 | travisat: Ok cp -r worked. | 06:11 |
| Flannel | cchild: you don't use the -u on drives, that would be for a 'file' file | 06:12 |
| amenado | FY1 xev | 06:12 |
| Positronic | Flannel, was that recently an update for ubuntu within the last few months? So you dont have to install ATI drivers and set parameters for hardware acceleration manually anymore? | 06:12 |
| Steven1 | travisat: Uh no. usr/share/pixmaps/ | 06:12 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: was that meant for me or Steven1? | 06:12 |
| travisat | Odd-rationale: lol you | 06:12 |
| cchild | flannel, thanks for your help | 06:12 |
| Odd-rationale | travisat: lol ok | 06:12 |
| travisat | Steven1: is everything all right now? | 06:12 |
| ddalton | Hi im blind so can't follow this. Can you please join ##ddalton? anyway how do I connect to my wiless network with my wiless card? I believe ubuntu recognises it. | 06:13 |
| Flannel | Positronic: ATI drivers don't give you XGL. I have no idea with regards to the current driver situation, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 06:13 |
| Smegzor | how do I list my command history showing only chmod commands I've entered? My history is HUGE. | 06:13 |
| Smegzor | I want to see my original chmod line that caused all the mess. | 06:13 |
| orbisvicis | Smegzor, cat ~/.bash_history | grep | 06:14 |
| cchild | flannel, I have one more question: what is "--random-source" and the -s --size for? | 06:14 |
| nikrud | Smegzor grep chmod ~/.bash_history | 06:14 |
| Flannel | Smegzor: cat ~/.bash_history | grep chmod | less | 06:14 |
| orbisvicis | Smegzor, it might also be in /root/.bash_history | 06:14 |
| Positronic | Flannel, oh ok sorry I must have been confusing that with fglrx or something... | 06:14 |
| Smegzor | thanks | 06:14 |
| nikrud | cat to grep? ewww :) | 06:14 |
| orbisvicis | nikrud, bad habit ; ) | 06:15 |
| troxor | for all the users of ntop out there: where did the "-S" option go in recent (>2.0) versions of ntop? is there a similar option that google isn't telling me about? | 06:15 |
| Rob125 | nikrud: whoa, hold on. please explain? why bad? | 06:15 |
| Smegzor | here it is! chmod 0700 /home/smegzor (is that bad?) | 06:15 |
| sphinxx | is having a 5gb /home and a 9gb /root not good? | 06:15 |
| nikrud | Rob125 it's an aesthetic thing :) | 06:15 |
| orbisvicis | way back in the days when i used rpm-websites to install xine: library by .so file ; ) | 06:15 |
| nikrud | Smegzor no, that's not terribly bad | 06:15 |
| Rob125 | nikrud: how would you do it, then? | 06:15 |
| nikrud | Rob125 grep chmod ~/.bash_history | 06:15 |
| Rob125 | Smegzor, you should be able to fix that pretty easy, since you didn't do it recursively | 06:16 |
| Rob125 | ahh | 06:16 |
| Flannel | cchild: I don't see a --random-source on mine, but it probably is a place where you can provide the source of the random data, incase you wanted to use something more random. And --size is not useful in this situation either, but its allowing you to overwrite an arbitrarily sized chunk | 06:16 |
| Smegzor | yeah I wasn't sure about that.. so just do the same with 755 ? | 06:16 |
| cchild | Ok Flannel, thanks again | 06:17 |
| nikrud | Smegzor 700 is not something that will break your system, it only prevents users other than yourself reading what's in there. Some people do that on principle | 06:17 |
| picharras | hola que tal | 06:17 |
| Smegzor | thats why I did it in the first place. But then I noticed broken stuff in gnome | 06:17 |
| picharras | alguien habla español por aca? | 06:17 |
| Flannel | picharras: /join #ubuntu-es | 06:17 |
| Smegzor | probably just my timing, noticing things after doing that. | 06:18 |
| travisat | I prefer to only have files I want to execute with the 7 chmod | 06:18 |
| nikrud | Smegzor hm. Maybe there's something new that I'm missing. I haven't done that in a few years. | 06:18 |
| Steven1 | travisat: Ok I am now trying to do the sounds folder now and when I move the folder into /usr/share/sounds/ The folder is empty! What gives? | 06:18 |
| aoshi | How does updating to a new version of ubuntu work? | 06:18 |
| travisat | Steven1: when you mv directories the old directory dissappears, cp leaves old files in place...at least this is what I remember | 06:19 |
| Rob125 | Aoshi: It works marvelously -- but how do you mean? Do you need to know how to do it? What version are you using, and what do you want to upgrade to? | 06:19 |
| aoshi | 7.10 | 06:20 |
| Steven1 | travisat: But when I use mv. It says unable to remove target: Is a directory. | 06:20 |
| nikrud | aoshi when a release is made, you will be asked if you want to upgrade to it. You can force a check with sudo update-manager -c | 06:20 |
| travisat | Steven1: ok and when you cp -r the /usr/share/sounds folder was empty correct? | 06:20 |
| aoshi | Ah | 06:20 |
| Steven1 | travisat: The destination folder was empty yes. | 06:21 |
| aoshi | so in 23 days | 06:21 |
| nikrud | :) | 06:21 |
| aoshi | how do I go about updating to 8.04? | 06:21 |
| travisat | Steven1: you have no files in /usr/share/sounds or in /usr/share/sounds/pidgin? | 06:21 |
| coldboot | Why is this not in gutsy?: libgtkglextmm1-dev not in gutsy? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=libgtkglextmm1-dev | 06:21 |
| Trey | hey is anyone able to help me with a boot issue | 06:21 |
| Steven1 | Such a headache. Why don't they just make it like Windows and let you just drag and drop it? | 06:21 |
| Rob125 | Aoshi -- when you run update manager, it'll say 'A new distribution is available. Upgrade?' | 06:21 |
| aoshi | Okay | 06:21 |
| nikrud | aoshi now? Know how to fix broken packages? If the answer is yes, ask how on #ubuntu+1 | 06:21 |
| aoshi | Cool :D | 06:21 |
| orbisvicis | aoshi, ever so carefully: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 06:22 |
| Trey | guys i can't to to my ubuntu logon screen | 06:22 |
| Rob125 | Can't see it, trey? | 06:22 |
| Trey | ya | 06:23 |
| orbisvicis | Trey, why ? | 06:23 |
| Trey | the screen just turns off | 06:23 |
| nikrud | heh. If Trey knew why, he wouldn't be here asking :) | 06:23 |
| Trey | i have be trying some fixes from the forms but no luck | 06:23 |
| Trey | lol | 06:23 |
| orbisvicis | no but he should provide more info ; ) | 06:23 |
| owen1 | what folders should i keep for a backup? | 06:23 |
| Trey | i know its got to do with my video and the splash thats all | 06:23 |
| Rob125 | Trey: by 'turns off', do you mean it flickers and then goes to the terminal? What are your symptoms? :) | 06:23 |
| nikrud | owen1 /home , /etc , and the output of dpkg --get-selections at the minimum | 06:24 |
| Trey | its a laptop monitor and it literaly turns off the screen the comp stays on but nothing happens on screen | 06:24 |
| owen1 | nikrud: you are my personal ubuntu admin..thank | 06:24 |
| Steven1 | travisat: Did you get my IM? | 06:24 |
| Trey | i tried reconfiguring the xserver no luck | 06:25 |
| Rob125 | nikrud: Man, I need to have a long conversation with you and suck the knowledge out of your brain. Why /etc? | 06:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | hi, I'm having problems with encrypted DVD playback. I have done literally EVERYTHING to try to get it to work | 06:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I'm using Gutsy, and yes, I have the medibuntu repos in my sources.list file | 06:25 |
| travisat | Steven1: negative | 06:25 |
| nikrud | owen1 you're welcome. To be honest it's nice to have someone who only needs to ask a few questions, and fills in the blanks :) | 06:25 |
| nikrud | Rob125 well, I usually make some custom changes there, so I back up the whole thing on principle | 06:25 |
| Steven1 | travisat: I sent another one | 06:25 |
| travisat | Steven1: in irc or pidgin | 06:26 |
| Steven1 | travisat: pidgin on this room. | 06:26 |
| travisat | Steven1: if pidgin you are sending to somebody else | 06:26 |
| Trey | i also can't use ctrl alt f1 it dose nothing | 06:26 |
| Steven1 | travisat: I clicked on your name and clicked IM. | 06:26 |
| coldboot | Does anyone know why libgtkglextmm1-dev is not in gutsy/ | 06:27 |
| tchaska | Anybody knows a program to show the statistics of internet connection only? (exclude the local network traffic) | 06:27 |
| travisat | Steven1: hehe well I have no im, you have to /msg me in irc, and I am about to go to sleep. I think that you don't have to install themes in /usr but you can do it in your home directory. I am sure somebody else can help you | 06:27 |
| davi1 | hello good people | 06:27 |
| Steven1 | travisat: What I said was (10:22:46 PM) Steven1: No no no. I'm done with the Pidgin. I'm trying to move the MacOSX_Sounds to /usr/share/sounds | 06:27 |
| Steven1 | Damn | 06:28 |
| nikrud | coldboot do you have the universe repositories enabled? It's there in mine (hardy, but still) | 06:28 |
| Steven1 | So can someone tell me how to move the sounds off my Desktop and into usr/share/sounds ? | 06:28 |
| nikrud | Steven1 sudo mv ~/Desktop/<file> /usr/share/sounds | 06:29 |
| davi1 | hi there, im new to linux and i just installed ubuntu but my audio is not working, any ideas? | 06:29 |
| nikrud | Steven1 to write to anywhere outside of /home/<username> you need admin privileges, sudo gives those | 06:29 |
| Erickj92 | i just installed the dancer-ircd doc, buy dont know there they are isntalled to | 06:29 |
| owen1 | nikrud: and on my fresh ubuntu i can paste all the folders and i am done? | 06:30 |
| nikrud | Erickj92 /usr/share/doc/<packagename> | 06:30 |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: Are you going through that cam4lin tutorial? | 06:30 |
| Erickj92 | ok, thank you | 06:30 |
| Odd-rationale | *mac4lin | 06:30 |
| nikrud | owen1 erm, the stuff out of your home? yes | 06:30 |
| owen1 | nikrud: and what do i do with etc and the output of dgkg? | 06:31 |
| Steven1 | nikrud: It still failed. Says It's a directory. Not sheet! | 06:31 |
| Trey | ok i have some more info | 06:31 |
| nikrud | owen1 the /etc you might not need to do anything with, unless you know what you changed there. for the --get-selections, you'd run: dpkg --set-selections < packagelist && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade to restore your package installs. | 06:32 |
| nikrud | Steven1 what exact command line did you use? | 06:32 |
| nikrud | owen1 dpkg --get-selections > packagelist creates that list for you | 06:33 |
| Steven1 | nikrud: sudo mv ~/Desktop/Mac4Lin_v0.4/Sounds/MacOSX_Sounds /usr/share/sounds | 06:33 |
| davi1 | any1 have an idea on how to get my audio working? | 06:34 |
| owen1 | nikrud: so packagelist is a file i create in my old machine, and i import this file to my new machine with the < ? | 06:34 |
| Trey | ok i did sudo lspci | grep VGA and got 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corperation GeForce 8600M GS (rev a1) | 06:34 |
| nikrud | owen1 exactly. | 06:35 |
| Trey | then i did grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf and got the list with a bunch of drivers | 06:35 |
| JDSBlueDevl | hi, I'm having problems with encrypted DVD playback. I have done literally EVERYTHING to try to get it to work. I'm using Gutsy, and yes, I have the medibuntu repos in my sources.list file | 06:35 |
| Trey | that help at all | 06:35 |
| nikrud | Steven1 that should work, moving MacOSX_Sounds to /usr/share/sounds . I was sure, and did it with a couple test dirs just now | 06:36 |
| Stroganoff | JDSBlueDevl, you have libdvdcss2 installed? :D | 06:36 |
| owen1 | nikrud: ubuntu is like Mac, but awesome. | 06:36 |
| Odd-rationale | JDSBlueDevl: what media player are you using? | 06:36 |
| ethan961 | !dvd | JDSBlueDevil | 06:36 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yes | 06:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | Totem | 06:37 |
| ethan961 | !DVD | 06:37 |
| Steven1 | nikrud: Ok saw your response. | 06:37 |
| robm | Hello, I recently added a new harddrive (formated ext3) and made a new folder that I shared on samba. However previous shares that I had are not visible from windows machines anymore. Additionally, this new share slows down the windows clients and I never had problems until I mounted this new hd and created the share | 06:37 |
| Henry | what's the linux kernal? | 06:37 |
| bazhang | JDSBlueDevl: hd-dvd or blu-ray | 06:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | regular DVD | 06:37 |
| Odd-rationale | JDSBlueDevl: totem-gstreamer or totem-xine? | 06:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | totem-xine | 06:37 |
| Steven1 | nikrud: mv: cannot stat `/home/steven/Desktop/Mac4Lin_v0.4/Sounds/MacOSX_Sounds': No such file or directory | 06:37 |
| Henry | need help what's the linux kernal? | 06:38 |
| nikrud | Steven1 ok, it's saying there's an error in that line. Try cd ~/home/steven/Desktop/Mac4Lin_v0.4 /Sounds , do you get there? | 06:38 |
| Gumby | Steven1: then perhaps that directory doesnt exist? | 06:38 |
| nikrud | Steven1 without the space in the line | 06:38 |
| bazhang | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel Henry | 06:39 |
| owen1 | what is virtual hard disk (in virtualbox setup)? | 06:39 |
| Steven1 | nikrud: Good idea. Just about to try that. | 06:39 |
| nikrud | owen1 a file that acts like a partition | 06:39 |
| Odd-rationale | Henry: every OS needs a kernel. the Linux kernel is a kernel deveolped by Linus Torvalds and is open source. | 06:39 |
| Henry | ok thanks | 06:40 |
| Trey | is my issue not interesting enough for you guys | 06:40 |
| owen1 | nikrud: should i create new one? (first time using virtualbox) | 06:40 |
| bazhang | Trey: what is your issue | 06:40 |
| Trey | I can't get ubuntu to boot graphicly | 06:40 |
| nikrud | owen1 go thru the virtualbox installation instructions. And yes, if you don't have a virtual disk you won't have anywhere to install the virtual os to :) | 06:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Trey: Livecd? | 06:41 |
| bazhang | Trey: did you add acpi=off as a boot parameter | 06:41 |
| owen1 | nikrud: and why would someone use existing one. it will override the content with new os, right? | 06:41 |
| Trey | no install but cd wouldn't work either | 06:41 |
| nikrud | Trey It is, but I'm not good with those. bazhang is a master | 06:41 |
| nikrud | owen1 yes, just like any install would | 06:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Trey: have you tried configurin your xserver to use the vesa drivers? | 06:41 |
| Steven1 | Since I can just point my sounds to anywhere. Do I really have to move my sounds to usr/share/sounds? | 06:41 |
| owen1 | nikrud: ok. thanks again.. | 06:41 |
| Trey | not yet baz | 06:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: no | 06:41 |
| Trey | yes odd | 06:42 |
| Steven1 | Odd-rationale: Ah thanks. | 06:42 |
| nikrud | Steven1 no, anywhere you like. ~/.sounds is a reasonable place | 06:42 |
| bazhang | Trey: what about the alternate cd? have you given that a shot--it sometimes works when the livecd chokes and allows you to install the drivers at the finish of installation | 06:42 |
| Steven1 | Wow that could have helped sooner. Lol | 06:43 |
| Trey | no but i will try that too | 06:43 |
| * nikrud thinks that bazhang is shaking a virtual fist at him | 06:43 | |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: here's a dirty trick that is not really adviseable. in terminal do "gksudo nautilus" and move your file normally. But be careful! | 06:43 |
| Trey | um which one do i add acpi to | 06:43 |
| Trey | the root or the kernal | 06:43 |
| bazhang | me give nikrud his missing 'c' ;] | 06:43 |
| Steven1 | gksudo nautilus | 06:43 |
| Steven1 | I don't think I have that | 06:43 |
| arvind_ | can apt-get made be read a list of sources from a file??? | 06:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: you don't have nautilus? | 06:44 |
| Steven1 | Ah ok I got it. | 06:44 |
| nikrud | I'm on a weight loss program. I figured a little virtual weight loss couldn't hurt | 06:44 |
| Steven1 | Thought it was something that came with KDE | 06:44 |
| Rob125 | Stupid question: Difference between gksu and gksudo? | 06:44 |
| crdlb | Rob125: none | 06:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Rob125: same | 06:44 |
| Trey | bazhang: where do i add the acpi root or kernal | 06:44 |
| Rob125 | thanks. | 06:44 |
| crdlb | one is a symlink to the other | 06:44 |
| nikrud | Rob125 nothing anymore, gksduo is a link to gksu | 06:44 |
| robm | Hello, I recently added a new harddrive (formated ext3) and made a new folder that I shared on samba. However previous shares that I had are not visible from windows machines anymore. Additionally, this new share slows down the windows clients and I never had sharring or connection problems until I mounted this new hd and created the share. If I unshare this new folder, I still can't see the old shares from windows. | 06:44 |
| bazhang | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/gutsy/release/ Trey here is the link for the alternate | 06:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Steven1: are you using kde or gnome? | 06:45 |
| nikrud | bazhang releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 is easier to type ;) | 06:45 |
| bazhang | hehe | 06:45 |
| nikrud | you know, this is actually more fun without the bot | 06:46 |
| arvind_ | ! patience can apt-get made be read a list of sources from a file??? | 06:46 |
| Odd-rationale | nikrud: yeah right. | 06:46 |
| nikrud | arvind_ no, apt-get uses /etc/apt/sources.list for that exclusively | 06:47 |
| ethan961 | Oh, that's why the bot didn't reply | 06:47 |
| ethan961 | D'oh | 06:47 |
| sphinxx | nik you still here | 06:47 |
| bazhang | for the acpi=off you need to get into grub and add it Trey | 06:47 |
| nikrud | sphinxx yup | 06:47 |
| sphinxx | ok i have the alternate cd in now | 06:47 |
| sphinxx | win xp is all installed | 06:48 |
| Odd-rationale | ethan961: are the ubot* run on windows machines or something? | 06:48 |
| nikrud | Odd-rationale it's like the old days, before ubotu existed | 06:48 |
| arvind_ | nikrud, i didnt mean tat...i have list of sources to be downloaded ...can i direct it to to apt-get source somehow?? | 06:48 |
| Erickj92 | where is the documentation for setting up dancer-ircd and dancer-services? | 06:48 |
| nikrud | sphinxx ok, just boot the alternate cd, answer the questions as you go, and tell ubuntu to use the free space to install when it comes time to partition | 06:48 |
| sphinxx | you are a great help | 06:49 |
| sphinxx | ok one sec | 06:49 |
| nikrud | arvind_ I'm not sure I understand | 06:49 |
| Odd-rationale | nikrud: never was here in the "old days" I used to wonder how this guy seemed to pop in all the time and give some informative remards... | 06:49 |
| bazhang | http://knightlust.blogspot.com/2007/08/setting-up-dancer-ircd-in-kubuntu.html Erickj92 | 06:49 |
| sphinxx | just put in anything for hostname? | 06:49 |
| Erickj92 | bazhang, i used that but i still cant connect using my external IP, only my internal :( | 06:49 |
| nikrud | sphinxx yup. Whatever you want to name the machine. Maybe egypt ;) | 06:49 |
| sphinxx | i am naming it nikrud if thats ok with you :) | 06:50 |
| arvind_ | nikrud, is there anyway of getting the dependencies through dpkg?? | 06:50 |
| symptom | sphinxx: pick something nifty | 06:50 |
| * nikrud blushes | 06:50 | |
| nikrud | arvind_ without knowing a lot more about what you are doing, I can't say. | 06:50 |
| Erickj92 | bazhang, what could i be doing wrong that is keeping people from the outside world from connecting? | 06:50 |
| Erickj92 | i have dont port forwarding and everything | 06:51 |
| Trey | who ever makes the MOTD needs to update it the copy paste thing dosn't work | 06:51 |
| symptom | Erickj92: is firestarter running | 06:51 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, its disabled | 06:51 |
| robm2 | Can someone help me with a samba issue? After intalling a new HD and sharing a folder on that drive. All my old shares are no longer visable on windows. I've even removed the share on the new HD but the windows pcs still can't see my old shares. | 06:51 |
| Erickj92 | i had the same prob with apache2 | 06:51 |
| nikrud | Trey use paste.ubuntu.com | 06:51 |
| symptom | Erickj92: ok because it took me about 2 mons to realize that it was still enabled for me... drove me batsh*t crazy | 06:51 |
| Gnea | robm2: install swat and reset them up | 06:51 |
| Henry | who know how to write the virus | 06:52 |
| Henry | i want try it | 06:52 |
| arvind_ | nikrud, ok see i lets say i want to build a package which will be having dependencies,so i want to get the dependencies at once....as i want to build this package where there is no internet | 06:52 |
| brent113 | Quick question. Why does the output of the network history look as such: http://officialbs.hopto.org/pic/Screenshot-System%20Monitor.png | 06:52 |
| Erickj92 | yeah symptom, im looking at it right now, and it is stoped | 06:52 |
| bazhang | Trey: what copy paste thing? you might try installing pastebinit | 06:52 |
| bazhang | Henry not here | 06:52 |
| Gnea | Henry: do we look like virus writers? | 06:52 |
| robm2 | Gnea: I'd prefer to try to fix what I already had before intsalling something new. Any suggestions before trying that? | 06:52 |
| ethan961 | Henry, ##virus maybe? | 06:52 |
| Erickj92 | is there any other firewall that could be running and preventing people from connecting? | 06:53 |
| symptom | Erickj92: I would try firing up wireshark and taking a peek | 06:53 |
| Gnea | robm2: swat will work on your current configuration | 06:53 |
| Gnea | !swat | robm2 | 06:53 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, wireshark? | 06:53 |
| symptom | also looking at your routers logs | 06:53 |
| sphinxx | ok nikrud partition disks just came up | 06:53 |
| sphinxx | i'm going to manual correct? | 06:53 |
| symptom | wireshark = ethereal | 06:53 |
| ethan961 | Gnea, the bot isn't here | 06:53 |
| Gnea | ... | 06:53 |
| symptom | wireshark/ethereal = network protocol analyzer | 06:53 |
| nikrud | arvind_ ah. you can use synaptic for that. Mark the package you want, then file->generate package download list | 06:54 |
| Finnish | Can someone help with my NVIdia-card? I started my PC today and resolution is way too high now | 06:54 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, will that tell me what ports are open and all that? | 06:54 |
| Odd-rationale | how come ubot3 works in #kubuntu? | 06:54 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, I have a new problem. Turns out my new DVD-RW drive can read encrypted DVDs, but my old DVD-ROM can't. Why is that? | 06:54 |
| Gnea | robm2: apt-get install swat, then enable it via /etc/inetd.conf (should have it set) then point your web browser to http://localhost:901 and login as admin | 06:54 |
| nikrud | sphinxx you still want to have separate /home ? | 06:54 |
| Finnish | And when I try to make it smaller/the way it was, screen goes crazy | 06:54 |
| symptom | it will monitor your traffic... if you want to see your ports use nmapFE | 06:54 |
| robm2 | Gnea: since it only takes a min to install I'll try installing swat, can you help after I do? | 06:54 |
| symptom | and do a connect scan on localhost | 06:54 |
| bazhang | Finnish: how about pastebinning your xorg.conf for those here to look at | 06:54 |
| nikrud | sphinxx With only 14gb assigned to linux, I strongly recommend not using one. | 06:54 |
| Gnea | robm2: don't forget to install samba-doc if you haven't already - once you use it you will see how nice it is | 06:54 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, the IRCD works with localhost | 06:54 |
| sphinxx | hmm | 06:55 |
| Gnea | robm2: i'll be around for a little while, gotta sleep soon | 06:55 |
| robm2 | gnea: how can I tell, if samba doc is installed or not | 06:55 |
| sphinxx | i take your recommewndation as good as any | 06:55 |
| Gnea | robm2: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep samba-doc | 06:55 |
| sphinxx | ok so if im not using /home | 06:55 |
| sphinxx | i still want to do manual - i like to learn thigns the hard way | 06:55 |
| nikrud | sphinxx one question: you will be able to back up 4-6gb of home, when you need to reinstall because you broke your ubuntu :) | 06:55 |
| arvind_ | nikrud, how do i say download only do not install | 06:55 |
| Finnish | bazhang: What's the command line for that? | 06:56 |
| Rolcol | How do I change the system font size on xubuntu? | 06:56 |
| bazhang | JDSBlueDevl: that really is a hardware issue; try contacting the manufacturer | 06:56 |
| symptom | Erickj92: well what exactly happens | 06:56 |
| * Gnea tries to figure out why acidlab isn't working with *headesk* | 06:56 | |
| Finnish | bazhang: (Just for the xorg) | 06:56 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, i can connect using localhost as the server, but when i use my external ip, nothing works | 06:57 |
| bazhang | Finnish: sudo apt-get install pastebinit then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 06:57 |
| robm2 | Gnea: looks like I have it all installed now. What next | 06:57 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: do you see an entry like Pri/log free space? | 06:57 |
| Gnea | it installed... i threw up a virtualhost for apache2... included the apache.conf file... restarted apache... it *should* be there... | 06:57 |
| symptom | Erickj92: do you have a router? | 06:57 |
| sphinxx | ok nik i went to manual, i see my #1 is primary 12.6gb (c drive), #5 logical 2.6gb (D drive ) | 06:57 |
| themime | what do i do with a .deb file? | 06:57 |
| nikrud | arvind_ sudo apt-get install --download-only <package-name> . the script that synaptic creates will only download, anyway | 06:57 |
| sphinxx | then pri/log 14.8gb free space | 06:57 |
| Gnea | robm2: sudo netstat -nap | grep 901 | 06:57 |
| bazhang | themime: what deb file | 06:57 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, yes and all port forwarding has been set up | 06:57 |
| Gnea | robm2: should see something like this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5096/xinetd | 06:58 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: double click | 06:58 |
| sphinxx | so on the 14.8gb free space im setting up a partition, how should i allocate it? | 06:58 |
| themime | its a custom rtl8180-sa2400 driver for newer kernels | 06:58 |
| jaffarkelshac | i am looking for good security practises. i have the firestarter and clamav is there any other security that i need for ubuntu | 06:58 |
| nikrud | sphinxx that's all you have? There should be some free space? | 06:58 |
| robm2 | yeah I see a bunch of lines | 06:58 |
| Finnish | http://paste.stgraber.org/2178 | 06:58 |
| nikrud | sphinxx ah, got out of sync | 06:58 |
| Gnea | robm2: good. open firefox or whatever and throw it at http://localhost:901 | 06:58 |
| sphinxx | no prob | 06:58 |
| bazhang | jaffarkelshac: secure passwords | 06:58 |
| Gnea | robm2: and just hand it root's credentials | 06:58 |
| sphinxx | so i should do 13.8? | 06:58 |
| sphinxx | and 1 for swap? | 06:58 |
| symptom | jaffarkelshac: encrypted filesystem | 06:58 |
| nikrud | sphinxx 1gb swap for your 512mb mem, the rest for / | 06:58 |
| themime | Odd-rationale | 06:58 |
| themime | Odd-rationale: er oops, i meant, what about at command line | 06:59 |
| symptom | jaffarkelshac: delete all web browsing logs cache and cookies when you close browser | 06:59 |
| nikrud | sphinxx you can do a backup of the several gigs of data you'll create in /home, right? | 06:59 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: dpkg -i packagename | 06:59 |
| themime | thanks | 06:59 |
| symptom | Erickj92: Im not sure what your issue could be | 06:59 |
| Odd-rationale | themime: sudo | 06:59 |
| sphinxx | i have another comptuer with a large hard drive (my deksopt which i'm on now) | 06:59 |
| robm2 | Gnea: that doesn't load up. I'm connected to ewbmin just fine though. | 06:59 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, when i use nmapfe to scan my external IP, no ports are open | 06:59 |
| symptom | Erickj92: I would just do an nmap scan andcheck out wireshark | 06:59 |
| sphinxx | and an external | 06:59 |
| Erickj92 | but, ports are open on my internal IP | 06:59 |
| Gnea | robm2: is this a personal or production system? | 06:59 |
| themime | hehe yea, already got bitched at by it | 06:59 |
| nikrud | sphinxx then definitely, make it all one big partition | 06:59 |
| jaffarkelshac | Symons, encrypted file system? | 06:59 |
| symptom | Erickj92: well those bad boys need tobe open... especailly 80 | 07:00 |
| robm2 | Gnea: personal | 07:00 |
| Erickj92 | symptom, they are open in my router | 07:00 |
| sphinxx | ok so i did a 13.8gb partition | 07:00 |
| sphinxx | for use as i put it as ext3? | 07:00 |
| Erickj92 | i just dunno why their now showing open | 07:00 |
| Rolcol | How do I change the system font size on xubuntu? | 07:00 |
| iositd | Erickj92, don't bother scanning your external ip, it won't be reachable from your end. | 07:00 |
| sphinxx | mount point / | 07:00 |
| nikrud | sphinxx yes, and set it for formatting | 07:00 |
| iositd | symptom, ^ | 07:00 |
| nikrud | sphinxx and yes again | 07:00 |
| Erickj92 | well my computers IP is showing those ports open | 07:00 |
| symptom | yes iositd ? | 07:00 |
| Gnea | robm2: egads, webmin is just... evil! okay, i'll hold back anymore opinions on that... is samba running on the same computer you're on or another host? | 07:00 |
| iositd | symptom, read the message to Erickj92 | 07:00 |
| sphinxx | are any of these mount options important, or just leave at defaults | 07:01 |
| nikrud | sphinxx no, defaults is fine | 07:01 |
| robm2 | the computer is right next to me but im connected putty | 07:01 |
| symptom | iositd: oh good call | 07:01 |
| robm2 | ssh | 07:01 |
| iositd | Erickj92, you computer will show them as open. Your router will show them as open. The outgoing traffic can't be routed back at you, it gets lost. | 07:01 |
| sphinxx | reserved blocks is at 5% | 07:01 |
| Gnea | robm2: oh ok, then point your web browser at that system then, giving it 901 as the port number | 07:01 |
| sphinxx | typical usage - standard | 07:01 |
| symptom | iositd: yea it needs to be bounced | 07:01 |
| nikrud | fine. All you need to change is ext3 , format , and / as mount point | 07:01 |
| bazhang | Finnish: what is the resolution you want and what is it set to now | 07:01 |
| Erickj92 | iositd, what does that mean? i need to do somthing more? | 07:01 |
| symptom | Erickj92: sorry i gotta go, good luck | 07:02 |
| symptom | :) | 07:02 |
| sphinxx | what is format i dont see that option | 07:02 |
| Erickj92 | ok symptom, thank you | 07:02 |
| iositd | Erickj92, no, it's something standard. However, scanning yourself with nmap isn't going to show your ports open. I can do it for you and tell you the result. | 07:02 |
| iositd | symptom, afaik that's fairly though to do. | 07:02 |
| Erickj92 | ok, so PM you my external IP? | 07:02 |
| robm2 | Gnea: I did, unable to connect. I tried connecting using vnc and and I couldn't load http://localhost:901 | 07:02 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: if it is a new partion you may not seee the format option | 07:02 |
| iositd | Erickj92, yes. I'll give you the result then. | 07:03 |
| sphinxx | what about "bootable flag' | 07:03 |
| iositd | Erickj92, wait ... | 07:03 |
| sphinxx | its default is 'off' | 07:03 |
| nikrud | sphinxx probably because it needs formatting already | 07:03 |
| === iositd is now known as hischild | ||
| Gnea | robm2: ok. when you installed swat, did it installed anything else, like openbsd-inetd? | 07:03 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: turn that on | 07:03 |
| Erickj92 | hischild? | 07:03 |
| hischild | Erickj92, there we go. Now you can pm me =) | 07:03 |
| Erickj92 | ok | 07:03 |
| bazhang | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Finnish this command might help too | 07:03 |
| sphinxx | when would it be wise to set typical usage to 'largefile' instead of 'standard' | 07:04 |
| Gnea | robm2: btw, what version of ubuntu do you have on there? | 07:04 |
| robm2 | Gnea: no it doesn't look like it installed anything else | 07:04 |
| Finnish | bazhang: It is now 1792x1344, and I wan't it to be 1024x768 | 07:04 |
| sphinxx | like if you often transfer large files? | 07:04 |
| robm2 | Gnea: was that supposed to be netstat -nap | grep 901 ? | 07:04 |
| nikrud | sphinxx big file is for things like full dvd's, if you have one you won't have much room for anything else | 07:05 |
| sphinxx | ah ok | 07:05 |
| Gnea | robm2: yes. | 07:05 |
| sphinxx | so if i had a huge hard drive, i could make multiple partitions, one of them specifically for large files? | 07:05 |
| nikrud | sphinxx exactly | 07:05 |
| sphinxx | ah ok | 07:05 |
| sphinxx | and keep reserved blocks at 5%? | 07:05 |
| earl | hey guys. wondering if there's any way to have evolutoin check for mail automatically | 07:06 |
| earl | specifically, to do so without having evolution open | 07:06 |
| earl | maybe a notification tray app or something? | 07:06 |
| Odd-rationale | earl: you can dock it with alltray | 07:06 |
| Gumby | install kontact/kmail and do away with evolution :) thats my solution | 07:06 |
| earl | Odd-rationale: eh? | 07:06 |

| Odd-rationale | earl: search synaptic for alltray | 07:07 |
| Trey | I made some progress | 07:07 |
| sphinxx | ok nikrud now i made the swap partition , 1gb | 07:07 |
| earl | what does it do...? | 07:07 |
| sphinxx | it has one option, 'bootable flag' | 07:07 |
| Trey | i am not sure if it works completly yet though | 07:07 |
| sphinxx | turn this one off or on? | 07:07 |
| nikrud | good to go. bootable flag is meaningless to linux | 07:07 |
| Finnish | bazhang: Aargh, that didn\t help | 07:07 |
| Odd-rationale | earl: it pus the app into the notification area. | 07:07 |
| sphinxx | is there a reason hard drives always leave like 7mb of free space? | 07:08 |
| sphinxx | is that the buffer or something? | 07:08 |
| Odd-rationale | earl: but yeah. I like kmail better. | 07:08 |
| sriramoman | in ubuntu package management, how do i check the size of the file going to be downloaded for installation? | 07:08 |
| earl | kmail's pretty excellent but does it integrate well with gnome? | 07:08 |
| bazhang | Finnish: how did you install the drivers? | 07:08 |
| robm2 | Gnea: when I typed the netstat command, the results were several lines of | 07:09 |
| robm2 | unix 3 [ ] stream connected number number/something else / | 07:09 |
| nikrud | sphinxx something about making sure partitions start/end on some logical spot I think | 07:09 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: when you set up you last partion (swap) did you set it exactly to 1gb or to max to use the rest of the drive? | 07:09 |
| sphinxx | to 1gb | 07:09 |
| Finnish | bazhang: I guess these are linux drivers | 07:09 |
| sphinxx | was i suppoed to use max/ | 07:09 |
| sriramoman | in ubuntu package management, how do i check the size of the file going to be downloaded for installation? | 07:09 |
| tarkus | i have a question: would you consider linux to be able to accomodate any basic user? some who doesnt know a single line of code? | 07:10 |
| nikrud | sphinxx 7mb wont matter, but you could go back and set it to max | 07:10 |
| bazhang | Finnish: you are using the nv and not the nvidia driver; how was that installed? | 07:10 |
| alan_m | sriraman, please be patient :) | 07:10 |
| Odd-rationale | sphinxx: do you still have a "free space" evtry? | 07:10 |
| sphinxx | thanks for the help you 2 especially (you know who you are), im gonna take a shower while this is installing | 07:10 |
| bazhang | sriramoman: check packages.ubuntu.com | 07:10 |
| Gnea | robm2: ignore those, there should be one that says LISTEN on it | 07:10 |
| Finnish | This was my first ever ubuntu install, I remember that it got sort of automaticallt | 07:10 |
| Finnish | Or I just selected it from the list | 07:10 |
| sphinxx | odd, im already in the setup, not sure, the linux partition was showing no freee space at all, but i remember when setting up windows, it has 7mb i couldnt touch | 07:10 |
| nikrud | sriramoman apt-cache show <packagename> | grep -i size | 07:11 |
| Finnish | This is Gutsy 7.10 | 07:11 |
| carlzenox | is there a good movie maker for ubuntu? | 07:11 |
| bazhang | Finnish: did you use envy for this? | 07:11 |
| robm2 | Gnea: none of them say listen just lots of stream connected (7 lines) | 07:11 |
| Gnea | carlzenox: i've had some success with kino and avidemux | 07:11 |
| sphinxx | be back in a bit | 07:11 |
| Finnish | bazhang: No envy | 07:11 |
| Gnea | carlzenox: they are NOT microsoft movie, though :) | 07:11 |
| Gnea | robm2: ok then it didn't start right - do you get any results with this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep inetd ? | 07:12 |
| Odd-rationale | carlzenox: unfortunately, not really. there is cinerella, kino, pitivi, and kdenlive. | 07:12 |
| bazhang | Finnish: well how about using the restricted drivers; the nvidia ones; or you could hand edit your xorg.conf | 07:12 |
| nikrud | sphinxx one thing: be very patient, the installer does not have good feeback | 07:12 |
| bullgard4 | What mechanism appends to the name of a process a / and a digit, for example 'migration/0' or 'ata/0'? | 07:12 |
| sriramoman | nikrud: is it not possible thru the gui itself? | 07:12 |
| earl | odd-rationale: do you use kmail? how well does it integrate with gnome | 07:13 |
| Finnish | bazhang: I've hand edited xconf before, but with assistant, so I could try it | 07:13 |
| bazhang | sriramoman: look in synaptic package manager sure | 07:13 |
| Odd-rationale | earl: i use kde anyways :P | 07:13 |
| nikrud | sriramoman hightlight the package, and select properties (in synaptic) | 07:13 |
| robm2 | Gnea: -bash: pkg: command not found | 07:13 |
| luckylin | anyone know why it takes a couple times logging off then back on to get my menus to work with compiz fusion? | 07:13 |
| Gnea | robm2: dpkg :) | 07:13 |
| robm2 | Gnea: I copies and pasted your line exactly | 07:13 |
| robm2 | oh hehe | 07:13 |
| Gnea | ;) | 07:13 |
| earl | damn. | 07:13 |
| robm2 | Gnea: ii update-inetd 4.27-0.2 inetd.conf updater | 07:14 |
| owen1 | i have winxp in a folder and i want to create iso. can i do it? | 07:14 |
| Odd-rationale | earl: so a real solution would be to switch to kubuntu, ;) | 07:14 |
| Gnea | robm2: ok, give this a shot then: apt-get install xinetd | 07:14 |
| bazhang | earl kde stuff works fine in gnome | 07:14 |
| earl | i just switched away from kubuntu | 07:15 |
| nikrud | Odd-rationale I knew there was a method to your nick | 07:15 |
| robm2 | Gnea: okay done. | 07:15 |
| earl | i prefer kde but i think ubuntu's amenities are better, and unfortunately none of them apply to kubuntu | 07:15 |
| sriramoman | nikrud: is the default package manager synaptic? coz that method was not there in default manager... | 07:15 |
| Gnea | robm2: now check it again: netstat -nap | grep 901 | grep LISTEN | 07:15 |
| Odd-rationale | nikrud: *gasps* you figured out the meaning to my nick ?! | 07:15 |
| bazhang | sriramoman: ubuntu has synaptic kubuntu has adept | 07:15 |
| nikrud | sriramoman ah, you're using add/remove. close that, and go to system->admin->synaptic package manager. More powerful, lists many more software packages | 07:16 |
| Gnea | bazhang: and they all have apt-get ;) | 07:16 |
| bazhang | true ;] | 07:16 |
| robm2 | Gnea: I ran netstat -nap | grep 901 | grep LISTEN and didn't get an error or anything but I still can't load the web page | 07:16 |
| sriramoman | yes i am used to power. | 07:16 |
| luckylin | can anyone help me figure out something in compiz fusion? | 07:16 |
| sriramoman | i am new to ubuntu, though | 07:16 |
| bazhang | #compiz-fusion is best for that luckylin | 07:16 |
| Odd-rationale | luckylin: depends on what that something is | 07:16 |
| Gnea | robm2: ok, check to see if this file exists: /etc/xinetd.d/swat | 07:17 |
| nikrud | sriramoman linuxcommands.org , that'll start you down the power road (courtesy of Odd-rationale) | 07:17 |
| luckylin | I just have a little problem restarting my computer | 07:17 |
| sriramoman | thank u very much | 07:17 |
| Trey | ok i need some new help now | 07:17 |
| robm2 | Gnea: -bash: /etc/xinet.d/swat: No such file or directory | 07:17 |
| Trey | i found a back way in to the desktop | 07:17 |
| luckylin | when it restarts compiz fusion fails to load, and no menus come up, sometimes no desktop at all just background | 07:17 |
| Gnea | robm2: try this then: dpkg-reconfigure swat | 07:17 |
| Rolcol | How do I change the system font size on xubuntu? | 07:17 |
| owen1 | folder to iso anyone? | 07:17 |
| sriramoman | nikrud: i used to use suse. i am new to ubuntu. i know the typical unix commands | 07:17 |
| bullgard4 | What mechanism appends to the name of a process a / and a digit, for example 'migration/0' or 'ata/0'? | 07:17 |
| bazhang | luckylin: try disabling compiz alt f2 metacity --replace | 07:18 |
| sriramoman | as u see, package management is distro specific! | 07:18 |
| robm2 | Gnea: okay done | 07:18 |
| nikrud | sriramoman then you're going to find some stuff different, but much much better ;) | 07:18 |
| Gnea | robm2: see if it's there now | 07:18 |
| robm2 | Gnea: still doesn't exist | 07:18 |
| nikrud | good night all | 07:18 |
| bazhang | night | 07:18 |

| alan_m | robm2, you can truly use any pastebin site, as long as you give us the link to the paste ;) | 07:20 |

| Gnea | robm2: what about http://pastebin.ca ? | 07:21 |
| Trey | ok i need some help from the graphics guru | 07:21 |
| bazhang | robm2: then install pastebinit and cat and pipe the stuff there | 07:21 |
| sriramoman | bazhang: is it possible to see the size of each repo? | 07:22 |
| robm2 | Gnea http://pastebin.ca/965793 | 07:22 |
| Gnea | yes, apparantly the EU is eperiencing some internet cabling issues right now | 07:22 |
| earl | so in kmail how do you get the tray to show up? | 07:22 |
| cableroy | hi, i have dualscreen, but when i login with my regular user it gets twin view, i tried to make a new user and loged in, and that worked good, how to fix this on my regular user? | 07:22 |
| Gnea | robm2: sec | 07:22 |
| sriramoman | and i need to download it in chunks, so i would prefer if i can resume downloads | 07:23 |
| Trey | how do i fix restricted drivers | 07:23 |
| bazhang | sriramoman: I would imagine it would be in the several gb range; cant remember at the moment | 07:23 |
| sriramoman | coz internet connection is free for me for 8hrs a day | 07:23 |
| sriramoman | (5 gb a day) | 07:23 |
| Gnea | robm2: put that in your /etc/xinetd.d/swat http://pastebin.ca/965796 | 07:24 |
| sriramoman | i would b happy enough is downloads can be resumed | 07:24 |
| manchicken_ | sriramoman: I would say that it's fair to say that the Ubuntu repositories in their entirety are at least a TB or two. | 07:24 |
| manchicken_ | Though I suspect more than that even. | 07:24 |
| bazhang | nah not that big | 07:24 |
| sriramoman | TB??? | 07:25 |
| Gnea | debian's isn't even 1TB | 07:25 |
| hischild | manchicken_, i doubt that ... how much space do you use, binaries only? | 07:25 |
| alan_m | bazhang, i found pastebinit but cant find cat in the repositories, are you sure thats right? (asking for future reference to users) | 07:25 |
| manchicken_ | bazhang: Remember, you're talking Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, from Hoary through Hardy. | 07:25 |
| Gnea | manchicken_: you're also talking about round robin | 07:25 |
| manchicken_ | hischild: IIRC the question was how bit the repository is... | 07:25 |
| manchicken_ | That would include source debs as well as binary debs. | 07:26 |
| manchicken_ | s/bit/big | 07:26 |
| knoppix | What is the commend to make a disklabel pleae? | 07:26 |
| bazhang | alan_m: it would be first: install pastebinit; then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit which will spit a url out for you to post here | 07:26 |
| robm2 | Gnea: uh. I dont have a folder inetd.d | 07:26 |
| sriramoman | bazhang: are repos in ubuntu like urls? | 07:26 |
| bazhang | sriramoman: did you read that link even? | 07:26 |
| knoppix | I searched gogle and got ever command but the disk label one | 07:26 |
| alan_m | ah, sorry bud, just got confused ;) | 07:26 |
| robm2 | Gnea: i thought maybe I was doing someting wrong in ssh so I loggedin with vnc and I can't find it | 07:26 |

| martzipAN^ | hey , i put a file in /bin dir that will be a global command so i can use it anywhere , but if i not run it as a root user its asks me password, is there a way to run that command with any user without asking a password ? | 07:31 |
| bazhang | IanFHood: did you add sudo to that | 07:31 |
| IanFHood | yes | 07:31 |
| robm2 | Gnea: :( that doesn't exactly help | 07:31 |
| IanFHood | well, from sudo -i | 07:31 |
| IanFHood | same thing, no? | 07:31 |
| sriramoman | Gnea: thank u | 07:32 |
| Gnea | robm2: the only way to learn it is to, quite honestly, USE it | 07:32 |
| martzipAN^ | shouldnt i change the chmod of the file of somthing in /bin | 07:32 |
| martzipAN^ | ? | 07:32 |

| knoppix | thanks | 07:32 |
| sriramoman | Gnea: this is suitable for me, only that i want to know how i can pause/resume downloads | 07:32 |

| Geoffrey2 | when using the tar command, how do I specify an existing directory to place the extracted files in, instead of it creating a new directory? | 07:32 |
| robm2 | Gnea: i was fine before installing swat. it's just that ever since I installed the new hd and shared a folder my other shares weren't accessable from windows. howe am I supposed to figure out why | 07:32 |
| Gnea | robm2: check out your shares button | 07:33 |
| robm2 | Gnea: the existing shares are still there | 07:33 |
| Gnea | robm2: you should have a drop-down list of all of your shares. | 07:33 |
| Gnea | robm2: then see if they're browsable or available | 07:33 |
| IanFHood | bazhang: yes, used sudo | 07:34 |
| leonbrussels | Marzipan sudo chmod 775 /bin/youtfile | 07:34 |
| leonbrussels | i think | 07:34 |
| robm2 | Gnea: browsable is no. if I change that to yes, I supopse that will fix... if I set default that makes it for all shares? | 07:34 |
| === arief is now known as cow26_pngen | ||
| Gnea | robm2: make it 'yes', it will only affect that share. | 07:34 |
| ZoiX | Wanda give me water :| | 07:35 |
| Gnea | robm2: and if it doesn't work right away, 'restart all' on the status button will fix that :) | 07:35 |

| IanFHood | I was able to apt-get install python2.4-imaging with no problem, but I don't understand why not the setuptools... have I got the wrong id? | 07:35 |
| owen1 | is installing kernel headers dangerous? | 07:36 |
| robm2 | Gnea: neat, one of my shares got deleted when I changed to to browsable and commited changes | 07:36 |
| Gnea | owen1: dangerous? it... might take up... a little bit of... hard drive space lol | 07:36 |
| bazhang | IanFHood: try an apt-cache search for the exact name; such as apt-cache search python | 07:36 |
| Gnea | robm2: are you sure about that? click on another button then go back to it and try to select it again | 07:37 |
| orbisvicis | butt ... you need it ... to compile modules ... etc | 07:37 |
| leonbrussels | MartzipAN^ use sudo chmod 775 on your file | 07:37 |
| Gnea | :) | 07:37 |
| sriramoman | can i use i386 packages on x86_64 ubuntu? | 07:37 |

| owen1 | Gnea: i am trying to use virtualbox on 8.04 and get error about virtualbox kernel driver not installed. | 07:38 |

| hischild | manchicken_, i'm downloading the repo's now. Not including the sources and normally excluded ones, they account for 41gb | 07:38 |
| owen1 | Gnea: when googling for it some say to do this: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 07:38 |

| bullgard4 | What mechanism appends to the name of a process a / and a digit, for example 'migration/0' or 'ata/0'? | 07:39 |

| manchicken_ | hischild: All of them? Over the last 2-3 years? | 07:40 |
| hischild | manchicken_, i'm talking about the current repo's for hardy. | 07:40 |

| robm2 | Gnea: when it says available that does that mean. I set browsable adn available to yes on both. I stil can't connect with windows | 07:41 |

| manchicken_ | I'm gonna be rebooting shortly for hardy upgrade. | 07:41 |
| hischild | manchicken_, i'm assuming he wants the same as i do, which is a local copy of the repo's. | 07:42 |
| robm2 | Gnea: brb rebooting windows | 07:42 |
| manchicken_ | hischild: That's not a terrible assumption. | 07:42 |
| Radit | Can anyone tell me how to take a screen shot of a window? | 07:43 |
| bazhang | so 1TB minus a bit ;] | 07:43 |
| hischild | manchicken_, *sigh* that's a huge relief. I was afraid i made a horrible assumption and that the world was going to end because of it. | 07:43 |
| hischild | Radit, try print screen ;-) | 07:43 |
| manchicken_ | hischild: Well, there was that sudden jerk as the planet began to rotate in the opposite direction... but it's a bit speculative to blame it on you... yet... | 07:44 |
| hischild | manchicken_, uhoh ... | 07:44 |
| manchicken_ | I'll find a way to blame it on you though. Don't worry :) | 07:44 |

| robm2 | Gnea: yes, it always has been. Aside from installing the new hd on ubuntu, and creating the share onthat hd I made absolutely no changes to anything else | 07:49 |
| robm2 | Gnea: that's why I'm so frustrated that it just stopped working and wont see my other shares | 07:49 |
| Gnea | robm2: ok, just checking. what sort of security do you have set for samba? is it share or user? | 07:50 |
| zcat[1] | figuringout: might .. if you ripped them yourself in Windows media player, the default is 'protected' -- because MSFT knows that everybody really really wants to be able to do sfa with their own music... | 07:50 |

| sriramoman | can someone pls tell me whats there in the ubuntu dvd thats not there in the cd? | 07:52 |

| Yashy | sphinxx: your questions sucks. | 07:52 |
| hischild | sphinxx, no need. The system you have now is just perfect. What do you want to do? perhaps then we can suggest some packages. | 07:53 |
| Yashy | sphinxx: http://hackepedia.org/?title=IRC:9 | 07:53 |
| sphinxx | all id like is to have safe web browsing | 07:53 |

| Yashy | sphinxx: define safe. | 07:53 |
| hischild | sphinxx, go to network and see if you see the xp box. | 07:53 |
| zcat[1] | sphinxx: well, restricted-extras will set up flash and java for you.. you very likely want them.. and dvdcss2 will let you watch DVD's | 07:53 |

| robm2 | Gnea: some how smb was turned off. started it up again, seems fine.... crossing fingers by readding the share on the new hd | 07:54 |
| zcat[1] | dunno about noscript, but adblockplus is a must-have! | 07:54 |
| Gnea | robm2: ok | 07:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | noscript, adblock plus.... | 07:54 |
| Yashy | flash and java are both prolly exploitable right now | 07:54 |

| Gnea | hischild: i like my method better: open a terminal, issue a killall -9 firefox-bin | 07:56 |
| zcat[1] | hischild: you can't open a new page, it constantly pops a javascript dialog up so you can't do anything else | 07:56 |
| sphinxx | how does root work exactly, is liek the equivalent of Administrator on windows? | 07:56 |
| ken | somebody can sen me a midonkey for deb ! | 07:57 |
| zcat[1] | anyhow.. I solved it in the end | 07:57 |
| hischild | zcat[1], alt f2 firefox && firefox | 07:57 |
| sphinxx | i never set a password for it, i only set a password for the username i created | 07:57 |
| hischild | Gnea, then it'll open the page again when he opens it up | 07:57 |
| IanFHood | bazhang: ok, tried the packages.ubuntu.com - got the correct id, still won't find it | 07:57 |

| robm2 | Gnea: okay looks good thanks. just want to say that swat gui is a little unuser friendly when choosing shares. I have to rechoose the share many times because it keeps loading the printer one even though i picked something else and clicked choose | 07:57 |

| * Gnea notices that too | 08:00 | |
| * Gnea proceeds to put his gf's barbies back where they belong. | 08:00 | |
| hischild | sphinxx, you don't need anything. If you want to control your firewall, google for an iptables tutorial. | 08:00 |

| Lunks | How to compile NVIDIA kernel module together with a custom built kernel? | 08:03 |
| omnz0r | sphinxx: you could use iptables | 08:03 |
| Yashy | hischild: ask me a question that is answered easily there, that I can answer, and I'll help any way I can. | 08:03 |
| sphinxx | is iptables a program? | 08:03 |
| Yashy | that isn't answered easily | 08:03 |
| omnz0r | it is | 08:03 |
| Lunks | I don't want to wait until failsafe X loads, I kill it and then install it from nvidia script. | 08:03 |
| Yashy | sphinxx: linux based packet filter | 08:04 |
| sphinxx | is there a quick way to just close every port | 08:04 |
| sphinxx | im not going to be doing any hosting or anything | 08:04 |
| MistaGee | I'm currently having issues with alsa in ubuntu hardy... whenever a program tries to list up the available devices and/or PCMs, it hangs completely and can't be killed. has anyone experienced this before? | 08:04 |
| omnz0r | iptables -P INPUT DROP | 08:04 |
| hischild | sphinxx, they are closed by default. | 08:05 |
| Yashy | sphinxx: change your runtime/init mode then? | 08:05 |
| hischild | MistaGee, /j #ubuntu+1 | 08:05 |
| bullgard4 | What mechanism appends to the name of a process a / and a digit, for example 'migration/0' or 'ata/0'? | 08:05 |
| sphinxx | so i dont need to do anything im safe out of the box? | 08:05 |
| manchicken | MistaGee: That sounds like an intel hda issue. I haven't found two hda issues that were the same so you may want to check #ubuntu+1, but also start googling. | 08:05 |
| hischild | omnz0r, that might kick him out as well as returning traffic can also be bounced | 08:05 |
| Yashy | sphinxx: I hear there is a firewall in Hardy, but you should be OK out of the box. try http://crypto.yashy.com/nmap.php | 08:06 |
| sphinxx | i have 7.10 desktop | 08:06 |
| MistaGee | thanks | 08:06 |
| hischild | sphinxx, you can use firestarter to check your firewall and stuff, or set up your own using iptables. | 08:06 |
| MistaGee | I actually do have an intel hda | 08:06 |
| sphinxx | im sorry i want to stress how new i am to this :\ | 08:06 |
| omnz0r | hischild: yes, put it closes all ports | 08:06 |
| Blinkiz | I need help with unison and the merge function. Where can I ask my question? | 08:06 |
| Yashy | firewalling is getting better in ubuntu | 08:07 |
| === doko_ is now known as doko | ||
| hischild | omnz0r, it doesn't just close all ports, it drops _ALL_ incoming traffic. | 08:07 |
| Yashy | Blinkiz: ask and cross your finger for a pointer? | 08:07 |
| omnz0r | hischild: yes, that is correct | 08:07 |
| hischild | omnz0r, which includes responses from outgoing traffic. | 08:07 |
| Blinkiz | Yashy: ;) | 08:08 |
| sphinxx | it says 202 updates available, should i install these? | 08:10 |
| hischild | sphinxx, yes | 08:10 |
| eth01 | yeah | 08:10 |
| Blinkiz | I have two txt files that has changed on two location. Am using unison to sync changes. Problem now is that the file has changed on both sides. unison has a solution for this called "merge". Problem is that after reading the merge manual page, I can't still get it to work. Anyone wanna help me out? | 08:10 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, do you still have the original? | 08:10 |
| sphinxx | i feel so useless not doing anything after installing the OS | 08:11 |
| sphinxx | :\ | 08:11 |
| hischild | sphinxx, USE your OS, instead of spending hours finding everything you need to get it to work. | 08:11 |
| Yashy | Blinkiz: is this a one off you can use diff to merge them, or a regular issue with unison? | 08:11 |
| sphinxx | lol | 08:11 |
| sphinxx | ill drink 2 that | 08:11 |
| sphinxx | although id like to tweak it for speed since the laptop isnt that great | 08:11 |
| Yashy | sphinxx: search "ubuntu kernel tweaks" | 08:12 |
| hischild | sphinxx, windows takes me about 3 hours to get it working with drivers (vista that is, for xp is not possible due to lack of drivers) and then i don't have any programs. Ubuntu takes me 20 min for the install, and 40 min for the updates. | 08:12 |
| kelvin911 | i accidently delete emacs(client) from main menu how do i get it back? | 08:12 |
| hischild | Yashy, you're suggesting kernel tweaks to a newbie ... don't you think that's a little dangerous? | 08:13 |
| Blinkiz | Yashy: I think my problem is a combo between diff3 and unison. diff3 wants MYFILE OLDFILE YOURFILE. I do not have oldfile. Just myfile and yourfile. | 08:13 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, diff can merge between files as well, putting all differences together into one file. | 08:14 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: Yeah, thats my goal | 08:14 |
| maek | !latest | 08:14 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: But diff is launched from unison. | 08:14 |
| Lunks | Yashy hischild do you know how to integrate nvidia into a custom kernel build? | 08:15 |
| sphinxx | is there a GUI interface for iptables? | 08:15 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, why not use diff yourself? from what i've read on diff, you can do that yourself. | 08:15 |
| hischild | sphinxx, firestarter iirc | 08:15 |
| Blinkiz | I think I found a solution to my problem. Its about having backups all the time on old files. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7712 | 08:15 |
| hischild | Lunks, no sorry | 08:15 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: Can't use diff directly in my case | 08:15 |
| Yashy | Blinkiz: Is this a one off you can diff them and merge them? Or will it happen regurily | 08:15 |
| compizfusion | quit | 08:16 |
| sphinxx | how do you install applications? like i have a tar.gz file i would like to install | 08:16 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, can you elaborate? | 08:16 |
| bikeboy | Any programs similar to Audacity but lighter weight/simpler? - I just want to trim some mp3 or wav files and possibly compress the resulting mp3 | 08:16 |
| Blinkiz | Yashy: It will happen regurily | 08:16 |
| Yashy | hischild: sounds like he's looking for something challenging? | 08:16 |
| hischild | Yashy, who, lunks? yes | 08:16 |
| omnz0r | sphinxx: what app is it? | 08:16 |
| Yashy | sphinxx: try $ gksudo synaptic | 08:17 |
| JanPeter | hey if anyone has any experience getting Age of Empires 3 to work in wine join #winehq to help someone out thanks! | 08:17 |
| co-djali | hiii | 08:17 |
| sphinxx | sorry.. its flash 9 | 08:17 |
| sphinxx | .tar.gz | 08:18 |
| Yashy | ./k Janpeter spam | 08:18 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: diff3 needs three inputs. MYFILE OLDFILE YOURFILE. Unison is providing MYFILE and YOURFILE by default. Unison is calling diff3 when it notice a change on both sides of the backup. The solution is to configure unison so it keeps old files. That way, OLDFILE will exist | 08:18 |
| * Yashy does not recommend flash right now | 08:18 | |
| maek | Yashy, yeah Flash on linux is crap | 08:19 |
| JanPeter | im not spamming | 08:19 |
| JanPeter | its not even my problem.... | 08:19 |
| Yashy | Blinkiz: sounds reasonable | 08:19 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, i see. Then this might sound stupid: why not just copy it? | 08:19 |
| Yashy | maek: as an app it's been compromised. | 08:19 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: Because it's on remote sites. Syncronizing backups over the net | 08:19 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: unison is good for this | 08:20 |
| bullgard4 | What mechanism appends to the name of a process a / and a digit, for example 'migration/0' or 'ata/0'? | 08:20 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, i got that part. I meant, before you do the diff part, why not throw in a cp oldfile oldfile.bac | 08:21 |
| butchy_nice | s0_fie | 08:21 |
| Yashy | bullgard4: text parsers do | 08:21 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: Your right. That is the solution. Thing is that that command is integrated into unison. It's called "backup". I just need to understand how it works. | 08:22 |
| bullgard4 | Yashy: Tell me why. | 08:22 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, i meant: before you call this backup, unison or whichever program you use, call a cp. | 08:23 |
| hischild | manchicken_, having luck with the upgrade? | 08:23 |
| Yashy | bullgard4: they take text in, right? then they parse it. | 08:24 |
| manchicken_ | Yeah, just trying to get my daru2 to suspend now. | 08:24 |
| kelvin911 | how to burn lightscribe disc in ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| Peddy | Can someone please help me, I get this error when opening a lot of things: ImportError: /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0: undefined symbol: g_assertion_message_expr :'( | 08:25 |
| bullgard4 | Yashy: But parsers do not add suffixes, as far I know. | 08:26 |
| Blinkiz | hischild: That's the beauty of unison. It handles all this commands. Unison is making backups on the remote site (ssh connection) with the cp command. I just trying to understand how. Am on my why with the command "backupcurrent" within unison | 08:26 |
| hischild | Blinkiz, i'm sorry, i misunderstood. | 08:27 |
| === cornelius_ is now known as c9s | ||
| bullgard4 | Yashy: Besides, I used ps with some options only. | 08:27 |
| Yashy | parsers can add whatever you want | 08:27 |
| Yashy | Blinkiz: There is no beauty in unison if you are asking questions. rsync is the better option right now. | 08:28 |

| ubuntuQWADZSD | i JUST DELETED the wrong NTFS Partition!! first thing ive done is put in the Ubuntu live boot cd and come here? any ideas? i have about 250megs of photos i REALLY cannot lose | 08:30 |
| Blinkiz | Yashy: I don't think it is in my case. Having one central server handling backup and three client synchronizing against this backup. A star topology. For example, all three computers should have the right signons3.txt that is the password file Firefox-3.0 is using. | 08:30 |
| Yashy | marlun: "sweedish language packs ubuntu" search | 08:31 |
| eth01 | ubuntuQWADZSD: theres a few things you can do.. but case in point, you've lost everything. | 08:31 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | eth01: okay tell me all | 08:31 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntuQWADZSD: recreate it.. you've only removed the partition, not the filesystem.. if you restore it just how itt was all should be well | 08:32 |
| Tomatix | eth01, just a thought, isn't NTFS made such it resets sectors at unused, so recover could be possible? | 08:32 |
| Yashy | ubuntuQWADZSD: promise to backup everything, everwhere, moving forward? | 08:32 |
| eth01 | zcat[1]: uhh, not really. | 08:32 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | zcat[1]: i can just recreate it with gparted? | 08:32 |
| zcat[1] | eth01: how not really? | 08:32 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | wont that overwrite data? | 08:32 |
| eth01 | zcat[1]: if he does that, he'll lose even more, duh. | 08:33 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntuQWADZSD: dod you do anything at all other than remove the partition in the pattiton editor? | 08:33 |
| zcat[1] | *did | 08:33 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | zcat[1]: nope | 08:33 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | god damned fdisk and its lack of detail | 08:33 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntuQWADZSD: if they files are really important, you might be best to call a data recovery expert ASAP... I would be 99% sure that you can just put the partiton settings back.. but not 100% sure | 08:34 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | zcat[1]: ok thats enough to go on, its just photos i already have on facebook but i will give it a try =) | 08:34 |
| zcat[1] | If you've done nothing else thogh I am 100% sure you can get every last bit back again | 08:34 |
| Yashy | pretty much like someone ripped the table of contents out of your harddrive | 08:34 |
| Yashy | worth it to bring back the table of contents or it's not | 08:35 |
| eth01 | theres every possibility that the actual FS has been wiped too | 08:35 |
| Yashy | possible | 08:35 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | zcat[1]: ITS THERE =D THANKS!!! | 08:35 |
| xp_prg | I just got my passport, anyone want to invite me to their country so I can say hi to them? | 08:36 |
| Yashy | but you fail in the area of being positive :) | 08:36 |
| zcat[1] | eth01: depends if he just saved partition changes, or went ahead and created a new FS over the top.. if he didn't, he should be pretty safe | 08:36 |
| eth01 | xp_prg: bai | 08:36 |
| eth01 | Yashy: you can't always be positive :( | 08:36 |
| Yashy | true | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | ubuntuQWADZSD: testdisk may be worth a look: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 08:37 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntuQWADZSD: cool!! Probably a good idea to backup the files, cos if you got even one cylinder out you're going to see massive FS corruption as soon as you start doing anything else with the FS | 08:37 |
| eth01 | ubuntuQWADZSD: defrag it | 08:37 |
| zcat[1] | eth01: NO!!!!! | 08:37 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | zcat[1]: yeah im going to install ntfs3g and back up to another safe partition | 08:37 |
| zcat[1] | ignore eth01he's giving terrible advice | 08:37 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | im not that silly haha =p | 08:37 |
| ubuntuQWADZSD | just wanted a second opinion | 08:38 |
| hischild | ubuntuQWADZSD, if you're going to do ANYTHING with it, be sure to back it up first. If possible (and you know how) mount it read only to prevent accidents | 08:38 |

| eth01 | eshaase: 100mbit... | 08:48 |

| eth01 | eshaase: if your NIC supports 1/10/100/ its ok? | 08:51 |
| eshaase | eth01: well, i don't expect the "full" gbit, just wanted to know what the realistic rates are | 08:51 |
| eshaase | eth01: what do you mean? | 08:51 |
| eth01 | eshaase: mbit. | 08:51 |

| eth01 | eshaase: i don't think you understand. | 08:54 |
| Filiph | hischild, ok. it's done... | 08:54 |
| nomopofomo | hischild, I'm trying to copy all of my fonts from a CD that are in various directories into just one direcotry. | 08:54 |
| eshaase | eth01: i don't =) | 08:54 |
| demianmex | so guys, what you all up too? | 08:54 |
| eth01 | eshaase: 1gbit is something the home-user (generally) won't have. | 08:54 |
| hischild | Filiph, you removed all the partitions? | 08:54 |
| eshaase | eth01: what does a home-user not generally having it have to do with what i want to do? | 08:55 |
| eth01 | eshaase: it's used in data centre, businesses sharing it internally. | 08:55 |
| hischild | Filiph, do you want to create a new partition. | 08:55 |
| eth01 | a * | 08:55 |
| eth01 | eshaase: you won't be able to experience such speeds on your connection... | 08:55 |
| eshaase | eth01: why not? | 08:56 |
| Yashy | I wonder if there is a !bot command to paste the answer from hackpedia into IRC | 08:56 |
| hischild | eth01, if you do a lot of home copying it most certainly is usefull. | 08:56 |
| Yashy | err hackepedia | 08:56 |
| eshaase | eth01: i have a network of systems at home | 08:56 |
| eshaase | eth01: which is what i plan to use it for | 08:56 |
| Filiph | hischild, not yet first of all I want full format | 08:56 |
| eth01 | err, you didn't say this was happening internally. sigh. | 08:56 |
| eshaase | eth01: i wouldn't consider it if it were just for the internet | 08:56 |
| eth01 | you said it was for WAN purposes. | 08:56 |
| eshaase | eth01: i didn't say that | 08:57 |
| eth01 | you didn't say it was for "wan" exactly like that. you implied it though. | 08:57 |
| MistaGee | jussi01, playback does work the way it is now | 08:57 |
| hischild | Filiph, that's what you've done when you removed the partitions. You can then type w to write the new partition (in this case, none) | 08:57 |
| eshaase | eth01: anyways, waht realistic for transfer rates considering i have two systems, two gbit cards and a gbit hub | 08:57 |
| eth01 | eshaase: wrapping it up. if your routers/switches and nics support 100/1gbit or whatever, then it'll work - no probs. | 08:57 |
| nomopofomo | Argh........ | 08:58 |
| eshaase | eth01: well i know it will work, i'm concerned about how fast it will work | 08:58 |
| Filiph | hischild, hmm... it was TO easy!!! cant be... and no format? | 08:58 |
| eth01 | eshaase: we can't predict that, and that's being very realistic. | 08:58 |
| Smegzor | yay! Splashy works! :D | 08:58 |
| eshaase | eth01: well i was hoping for a ball-park figure, like 25%, 75%, etc. | 08:59 |
| eshaase | eth01: kinda like how you can't expect ATA 100 to perform at 100MB/s | 08:59 |
| hischild | Filiph, we'll have to write the entire disc with dd once you've created a new partition (which is the formatting) | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | eshaase: It would be around the 25% mark | 08:59 |
| eshaase | eth01: its more like 50% of that | 08:59 |
| eth01 | eshaase: not possible | 08:59 |
| eshaase | DistroJockey: ouch, really? you think HD speeds are limiting that? | 09:00 |
| DistroJockey | eshaase: yeah, SATA2 = 300Gb/s | 09:00 |

| snowolf | bsdnewb07: su | 09:01 |
| DistroJockey | eshaase: and that's max for the interface, and the drives can't even get up near that | 09:01 |
| bsdnewb07 | su is just to become root isnt it | 09:01 |
| snowolf | no | 09:01 |

| eshaase | DistroJockey: what do you mean? | 09:01 |
| snowolf | *become | 09:01 |
| hischild | Filiph, that's odd. You did type w to write it, correct? | 09:02 |

| sphinxx | is there a reason those are open? | 09:03 |
| hischild | sphinxx, if you scan yourself, you'll also see the local ports. | 09:03 |
| sphinxx | so port scan of an address sees what ports that address can see on u? | 09:04 |
| DistroJockey | Ofcourse, I did mean 300Mb/s :) sorry | 09:04 |
| Filiph | haschild, I have to reboot... | 09:04 |
| DistroJockey | hmm, actually, it's 300MB/s *whaps self* | 09:04 |
| zcat[1] | services are often bound to 'localhost' -- you'll see them open if you scan 127.0.0.1 but you won't see them if you scan from elsewhere on the network | 09:05 |

| zcat[1] | .. but no, I'm sure it actually runs much worse in wine | 09:24 |
| Filiph | hischild, primary? there is only one for boot: C:\. rest is for games, media, temp, and rest for linux ;-) | 09:25 |

| kelvin911 | how to do that in one line? | 09:39 |
| zcat[1] | kelvin911: I think rename /^/a *.avi | 09:39 |
| Ignacius | is 8.04 a Beta?? | 09:40 |
| zcat[1] | !hardy | 09:40 |
| IAMSAM | kelvin911, also might want to try mv 0*.avi a0*.avi | 09:40 |
| juzzy_ | Yes | 09:40 |
| sidis405 | so far yes. | 09:40 |
| zcat[1] | Oh... | 09:40 |
| zcat[1] | still no bot? | 09:40 |
| hischild | zcat[1], ubotu and ubotwo are dead :( | 09:40 |
| Filiph | done | 09:40 |
| Ignacius | and then release will be? | 09:40 |
| Filiph | hischild, done | 09:40 |
| zcat[1] | is ubotu a Beta? | 09:40 |
| kelvin911 | what if i have files like 1.jpg, 2.jpg 003.jpg, 4.jpg zz.jpg want them to be like manga01.jpg to manga05.jpg | 09:41 |
| DistroJockey | Ignacius: 23 days hopefully | 09:41 |
| Ignacius | Ubotu is a biot | 09:41 |
| IAMSAM | ubuntu hardy is in beta zcat | 09:41 |
| Ignacius | bot | 09:41 |
| simplexio | kelvin911: rename | 09:41 |
| Ignacius | the release will be 8.10? | 09:41 |
| DistroJockey | Ignacius: nope 8.04 | 09:41 |
| Filiph | hischild, http://pastebin.com/m5b4a2cb2 | 09:41 |
| kelvin911 | simplexio: rename them in 1 line | 09:41 |
| LetterRip | also there is no cdrom0 listed under my dev | 09:41 |
| dgjones | Ignacius, its due 28th April (I think) | 09:41 |
| Ignacius | ok, then | 09:41 |
| LetterRip | directory | 09:41 |
| hischild | Filiph, hit enter | 09:41 |
| Ignacius | cool | 09:41 |
| kelvin911 | where they dont have names in common pattern | 09:41 |
| loseweigh | irc://ircchat.emule-project.net | 09:41 |
| Filiph | hischild, ok | 09:42 |
| DistroJockey | Ignacius: .04 = April, .10 = October | 09:42 |
| Ignacius | ohhh I know understand :) | 09:42 |
| DistroJockey | :) | 09:42 |
| zcat[1] | kelvin911: for that I would use "ls -1 *.jpg | { x=0 ; while read file ; do mv "$file" image_${x}.jpg ; x= $[ $x + 1 ]; done } | 09:42 |
| IAMSAM | I love the ubuntu versioning process :D | 09:42 |
| Ignacius | and 8 is year | 09:42 |
| DistroJockey | me too :) | 09:42 |
| aguy | how to disguise a promised tor-exit-node? | 09:42 |
| zcat[1] | or something like that | 09:42 |
| DistroJockey | yup :) | 09:43 |
| kelvin911 | simplexio: like 00.jpg 1.jpg 2.jpg 003.jpg a.jpg gt.jpg xx.jpg to aaa01.jpg to aaa07.jpg ? | 09:43 |
| === Nettle|office is now known as Nettle | ||
| Filiph | hischild, now the same but with nr°2? | 09:43 |
| Ignacius | ok, thanks | 09:43 |
| souper | ok, here's an apparently simple question: how do i disable the ubuntu splash screen? I like to see what is actually happening during boot. | 09:43 |
| sidis405 | hey fellas, is anyone havin issues with ralink drivers on Hardy? | 09:43 |
| hischild | Filiph, yes. | 09:43 |
| hischild | Filiph, and with the third | 09:43 |
| aguy | anyone an idea here? | 09:43 |
| hischild | and with the fourth, give me a call | 09:43 |
| zcat[1] | sidis405: #ubuntu+1 | 09:43 |
| IAMSAM | souper, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:43 |
| IAMSAM | and remove the option for quiet and splash | 09:43 |
| === jomino_ is now known as jomino | ||
| aguy | tor-node? | 09:44 |
| Filiph | hischild, third? for swap also prim? | 09:44 |
| IAMSAM | the run sudo update-grub | 09:44 |
| sidis405 | thank you zcat[1] | 09:44 |
| aguy | no-one, | 09:44 |
| IAMSAM | aguy, what are you trying to do w. tor-node? | 09:44 |
| zcat[1] | actually haven't tried that card on hardy yet | 09:44 |
| hischild | Filiph, that's possible yes. We're just creating partitions now, whether they are primary or extended does not matter. | 09:44 |
| Smegzor | is it really necessary to run update-grub? I never have and just editing menu.lst has always worked for me. | 09:44 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, primary should be boot, if you are putting it on a seperate partition | 09:45 |
| aguy | i just want to no if the tor-node is clear - no gov listening to it for eg. | 09:45 |
| IAMSAM | smegzor, yes, you have to, or the changes don't take effect | 09:45 |
| simplexio | kelvin911: rename s/^/manga/g * -n | 09:45 |
| zcat[1] | Smegzor: no, it's not necessary.. stage 1.5 is filesystem-aware and reads the menu.list | 09:45 |
| kelvin911 | simplexio: rename /^/a *.avi doesnt work | 09:45 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: souper: update-grub should not be needed | 09:45 |
| Filiph | hischild, http://pastebin.com/m7f86debc | 09:46 |
| souper | IAMSAM, thanks i'll bback | 09:46 |
| Smegzor | IAMSAM: I am living proof that you're wrong :D | 09:46 |
| souper | DistroJockey, thanks as well | 09:46 |
| simplexio | maybe it nee 's/^/manga/g' | 09:46 |
| IAMSAM | it's recommended after all changes to the grub entries on all sites i've seen | 09:46 |
| DistroJockey | souper: np | 09:46 |
| zcat[1] | I have NEVER run anything after editing /boot/grub/menu.list | 09:46 |
| IAMSAM | good to know | 09:46 |
| IAMSAM | i stand corrected :) | 09:46 |
| zcat[1] | GRUB is not LILO | 09:46 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: but it says "program used to generate the menu.lst" | 09:46 |
| IAMSAM | aguy, you just want to make sure that tor is an anonymous proxy, basically? | 09:46 |
| hischild | Filiph, type p and pastebin the output again please. | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | simplexio: still dont work | 09:47 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, from what i understand it'll just be a root partition, nothing special for the rest. | 09:47 |
| * DistroJockey agrees with zcat[1] | 09:47 | |
| dibblego | if I want to record the image from a webcam, what is the recommended software? | 09:47 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJockey, hm, idk, when i add the options for data=writeback, the site said to run update-grub | 09:47 |
| Filiph | hischild, http://pastebin.com/d31115408 | 09:47 |
| zcat[1] | dibblego: I'd probably use vlc | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | VLC can capture image from webcam? | 09:48 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, if you add them to the default options and not hte kernel line, that's true. When editing the kernel line directly, there's no need. | 09:48 |
| zcat[1] | mind you, I use vlc for far too many things | 09:48 |
| bertvdp | hi, can someone tell me how I can give instructions from one tty to another ? | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | what about video capture? | 09:48 |
| aguy | basically, yes | 09:48 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: *shrugs* just looking at man update-grub it shouldn't be needed | 09:48 |
| zcat[1] | vlc can do all kinds of things | 09:48 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, gotcha, thank you for the clerification :) | 09:48 |
| aguy | basicaly yes | 09:48 |
| bullgard4 | What mechanism appends to the name of a process a / and a digit, for example 'migration/0' or 'ata/0'? | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | how about capturing the screenshot? | 09:48 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, you're welcome | 09:48 |
| aguy | very basically.... | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | capture the screen for 1 minute and save it as avi? | 09:48 |
| DistroJockey | hischild: ahh, I see | 09:48 |
| dibblego | zcat[1], does it require some kind of plugin? | 09:49 |
| zcat[1] | kelvin911: for watching things, 'motion' is aewsome.. | 09:49 |
| IAMSAM | aguy, yes, tor is set up using anonymous servers, but not all, it's always a good idea to chain our proxies for full coverage | 09:49 |
| aguy | IAMSAM: its just the exit nodes that are a possible leak, i guess | 09:49 |
| souper | worked beautifully thanks very much | 09:49 |
| hischild | Filiph, you already used the second partition. delete the second and third, then do it again please. =) | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: watching what? | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: i uses vlc to watch movies and listening to music | 09:49 |
| zcat[1] | dibblego: not sure.. depends on the webcam possibly.. I have bt878 cards and analog cams here.. USB is a bit different I think | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: only mplayer for realplayer | 09:50 |
| Viper111 | guys my Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server is shutdowning down every time after about 2 hours of starting, any body can advice | 09:50 |
| hischild | Filiph, and be sure to only use a partition number once. | 09:50 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJunkie, have you used hard drive encryption on your / partition at all? | 09:50 |
| zcat[1] | sorry.. for monitoring/security of the webcam, motion is cool.. | 09:50 |
| sphinxx | can i have gnome and xfce running simultaneously | 09:50 |
| hischild | also a general question: usually a disc can only have 4 primary partitions. His fdisk tells him he can use 8 primary partitions. Is there a reason as to why? | 09:50 |
| IAMSAM | Viper111, can you get to your system logs? | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: DistroJunkie hehe I like that name too ;) | 09:50 |
| Filiph | hischild, yes I did... eh how to delete? :-p :-S | 09:50 |
| sphinxx | like so i can switch between them in the bottom right | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: nope | 09:50 |
| aguy | IAMSAM couldn't one determine HIS own exit-node and test it somehow? | 09:50 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJockey, sry =/ | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: np :) | 09:51 |
| Filiph | hischild, ok it's good | 09:51 |
| IAMSAM | aguy, i'm not sure, that's best for googling =/ | 09:51 |
| hischild | Filiph, for the 4th primary partition, instead of primary, make it extended and make it cover the free space that is left. | 09:51 |
| aguy | of course... i did a little already, wanted to give reading a break | 09:51 |
| sphinxx | i went to do this command and it said 'this aptitude does not have super cow powers" | 09:51 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJockey, i've noticed tremendous lag in read write, causing horrendous system lags... I reccomend against it :p | 09:51 |
| aguy | see you | 09:51 |
| sphinxx | sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 09:51 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: yeah, doesn't sound like a good idea | 09:52 |
| hischild | sphinxx, you've probably made a type with install. Try it again. | 09:52 |
| zcat[1] | aptitude doesn't have super-cow powers .. only apt does | 09:52 |
| hischild | zcat[1], orly? | 09:52 |
| souper | what about portege? | 09:52 |
| hischild | *portage | 09:52 |
| zloy | здрасте | 09:52 |
| zloy | все | 09:52 |
| Filiph | hischild, why 4th? I want only 2 boot partitions..; or is that not what I think? | 09:52 |
| * souper stands corrected | 09:52 | |
| zcat[1] | hischild: you know one that does? | 09:52 |
| hischild | zcat[1], not really | 09:52 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJockey, yeah, today's project will be a full reinstall of Hardy. btw, do you know when or if Hardy will ever get the mondo package to be installable? | 09:52 |
| hischild | Filiph, the 2 boot partitions (your root and the windows c:) should be primary partitions. The rest does not matter. In the extended partition we're going to create some more partitions. | 09:53 |
| zcat[1] | zcat@mandela:~$ aptitude moo | 09:53 |
| zcat[1] | There are no Easter Eggs in this program. | 09:53 |
| zcat[1] | haha | 09:53 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, you're going to install hardy? good luck :-) works like a charm here | 09:53 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: I may take a look at that package though as I am running Hardy atm. What's it for? | 09:54 |
| souper | What is the best method to upgrade from i386 gutsy to x64_32 hardy? | 09:54 |
| juzzy_ | lol i don't think you can souper | 09:54 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, i've been using it since it came out as alpha, only downside is i used twofish hard drive encryption, and it slowed the system down too much, so I will be reinstalling when I get out of here | 09:54 |
| souper | it's possible | 09:54 |
| juzzy_ | format? :P | 09:54 |
| souper | well that would be my fallback | 09:54 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, i see. I really like it (just broke it a couple dozen times) | 09:54 |
| Filiph | hischild, is that good? http://pastebin.com/d4e71848b | 09:55 |
| hischild | souper, from what i understand, the differences are much to large to be able to upgrade in the way you want to. | 09:55 |
| juzzy_ | I'm just trying to fix my mythbuntu install, went from 7.10 to 8.04 and now it won't boot | 09:55 |
| juzzy_ | :( | 09:55 |
| hischild | Filiph, if you type p i can understand what you did =) | 09:55 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJockey, it allows you to take basically an image of your computer in it's current state, and if (God forbid) your system dies, you can use that disk to nuke the partitions and set it up again just like it was, w. out the need to install individual packages again | 09:55 |
| IAMSAM | it's nice | 09:55 |
| souper | well will the configurations stored in my home partition still hold true? | 09:55 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, yeah my sound broke after ubuntustudio-audio was installed, i learned to stay away from that for a while :p | 09:56 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, haha ... i understand then yh ... | 09:56 |
| souper | because i suppose that's really only what's important | 09:56 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, though i am very pleased with the current state of fluxbox with hardy | 09:56 |
| IAMSAM | jussy_ any error messages on boot? | 09:56 |
| Filiph | hischild, http://pastebin.com/d52fcd302 | 09:56 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: ahh, cool | 09:56 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, none | 09:57 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, orly? i may have to look into it... xfce is going downhill :( | 09:57 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, it goes to the boot screen (mythbuntu logo) and then drops out 2mins later | 09:57 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, then it comes to a screen with Busybox 1.1.3 on it saying initramfs | 09:57 |
| juzzy_ | Then eventually just blanks out like 10mins later | 09:57 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: You may like to check out remastersys also then | 09:57 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, i use conky (i know...) for monitoring stuff, along with wmbattery and nm-applet ... i'm still editing the conky thing though, not happy with it yet | 09:57 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: does the same, but makes a live CD | 09:58 |
| IAMSAM | juzzy_ when the system starts, hit esc to get to the grub menu, edit the kernel line in the first entry so it does not have the splash and quiet options, then you should have an error | 09:58 |
| hischild | Filiph, copy the entire screen, including the next prompt please. | 09:58 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, ta | 09:58 |
| hischild | Filiph, i don't mind reading through a bit of text to find what i'm looking for =) | 09:58 |
| IAMSAM | DIstroJockey, yeah, i've heard of that, but basically modo doesn't give you the live cd, it's just a back up tool :) it allows the fixing of individual files, or to nuke your entire system, and replace it w. the copy you made | 09:59 |
| Viper111 | IAMSAM yes i can get | 09:59 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: fair enough | 09:59 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, can i also not backup certain folders? (i got about 40gb of video files i don't need backed up again) | 09:59 |
| Finnish | How do I make a backup-copy of xconf? | 09:59 |
| IAMSAM | Viper111, check to see what is happening right before the system shuts down, there should be an entry in the logs to help us out a little | 10:00 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup | 10:00 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, yeah, mondo is curses based and allows for excusion of file types and entire directories :) | 10:00 |
| Viper111 | IAMSAM which log file i'l see | 10:00 |
| IAMSAM | DistroJockey, I'm going to check out remastersys though, so I can get a copy of Ubuntu for my neighbors to use | 10:01 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, then it just sounds awesome. Usable from a running system i assume? because now it is starting to sound very interesting. | 10:01 |
| Finnish | DistroJockey: And for the future, how do I bring it when i need it? | 10:01 |
| Filiph | hischild, ok terminal copied... ;-) http://pastebin.com/m43380db | 10:01 |
| IAMSAM | Viper111, check the syslog | 10:01 |
| hischild | Filiph, what did you do to to close it in between? hit ctrl c? | 10:02 |
| DistroJockey | IAMSAM: :) | 10:02 |
| souper | here, i just want to simplify this question for clarity: will the various configs etc. in my home partition still function the same way if a upgrade the architecture(/ format included) of the os? | 10:02 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, yep, usable from running system... but it doesn't make a livecd like remastersys does, it is just for an emergency recovery | 10:02 |
| === andrei_ is now known as andreus | ||
| IAMSAM | works on NTFS partions too (douple edged sword) | 10:02 |
| Smegzor | I bought some FOSS friendly toilet paper today.. it has penguins all over it! :D | 10:02 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, hmm ... so basically remastersys is a bit better etc? | 10:02 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: if you wan't to restore it, use: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:02 |
| Filiph | hischild, I cant copy more, they said that I am a spammer :-S | 10:03 |
| souper | wow that doesn't sound so clear all of the sudden | 10:03 |
| Smegzor | hmm.. better not let those Microsoft fanboys find out :O | 10:03 |
| Finnish | DistroJockey: Thanks | 10:03 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: you're welcome | 10:03 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, they are two totally different tools, remastersys is for a livecd to try/install... mondo is just for "OMG I KILLED MY SYSTEM I NEED TO FIX IT!!!" | 10:03 |
| IAMSAM | heh | 10:03 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, found the part it stops on "Begin: Waiting for root file system..." | 10:03 |
| hischild | Filiph, where, pastebin? haha yeah you're posting quite a bit there but that's ok. We can do it via the channel :-) (don't paste here though) | 10:03 |
| IAMSAM | juzzy_ hm, do you have a knoppix or other livecd you can boot? | 10:04 |
| juzzy_ | I could probably boot an unbuntu live cd.. | 10:04 |
| IAMSAM | juzzy_ that would work too ;) | 10:04 |
| IAMSAM | we want to check the logs to see why it's not finding your root partition | 10:04 |
| juzzy_ | Might have to download and burn one, but that won't take long | 10:04 |
| hischild | Filiph, let's take it the easy way ... kill fdisk and fire up gparted or qtparted (you may have to install those) | 10:04 |
| IAMSAM | it's 5am here, i have all day :p | 10:05 |
| juzzy_ | haha | 10:05 |
| juzzy_ | Its 7:35pm here | 10:05 |

| Smegzor | 10pm Tuesday here. Its hard living in the future :) | 10:05 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, or DistroJockey, can you inform me of how to register a name? | 10:05 |
| juzzy_ | ENTER IS PUNCTUATION!!!!!! | 10:05 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, yes i think we can. Try /msg nickserv help =) | 10:06 |

| IAMSAM | sweet, thanks :) | 10:06 |

| pawan | hi | 10:06 |
| Filiph | hischild, is there other service like pastebin? | 10:06 |
| juzzy_ | Damn kiwis! | 10:06 |
| juzzy_ | :P | 10:06 |
| pawan | when is the new version coming out | 10:06 |
| Smegzor | arr | 10:06 |
| souper | rephrase: I want to reformat the main partition and upgrade the architecture. all my settings(etc) are saved in my /home (separate) partition. Will there be any migration work? | 10:06 |
| hischild | Filiph, use gparted or qtparted. They're easier for you to use. | 10:06 |
| * juzzy_ goes to find a live cd | 10:07 | |
| xp_prg | does ubuntu have the concept of lvcreate? | 10:07 |
| IAMSAM | hischild, uhm, that had nickserv say help | 10:07 |
| IAMSAM | lol | 10:07 |
| Filiph | hischild, gnome partition editor? | 10:07 |
| DistroJockey | hehe | 10:07 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, Check root = bootarg caty /p[roc/cmdline | 10:07 |
| IAMSAM | filiph, i recommend gparted personally ;) | 10:07 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, it did for you? i got a shitload of txt back. Try /msg nickserv register. | 10:07 |
| hischild | Filiph, yes. | 10:07 |
| hischild | IAMSAM, that's gparted :P | 10:08 |
| FloodBot1 | hischild: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:08 |
| souper | jesus christ i figured this to be a simple question | 10:08 |
| hischild | no you floodbot i like spamming! | 10:08 |
| Filiph | IAMSAM, ah ok thx! :-) | 10:08 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, Alert /dev/disk/by-uuid/<-spam> does not exist | 10:08 |

| IAMSAM | juzzy_ there's the problem :) | 10:09 |
| IAMSAM | it's not seeing your disk | 10:09 |
| Filiph | hischild, AAAAAAAAHHH much better! | 10:09 |
| juzzy_ | I sorta gathered that :P | 10:09 |
| juzzy_ | What would be the cause? | 10:09 |
| juzzy_ | I updated LOOOTS of packages | 10:09 |
| Smegzor | souper: I did that recently and I've had to reinstall quite a few programs, but I've lost no settings. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 10:09 |
| IAMSAM | juzzy_ do you have aim, until i figure out how to register my name in here | 10:09 |
| souper | ok | 10:09 |
| juzzy_ | Nah, only msn | 10:09 |
| souper | Smegzor, thank you | 10:09 |
| fraroco | how could I change the name of a list of files just leaving the last 4 characters before the extension? | 10:10 |
| hischild | Filiph, good luck ;-) | 10:10 |
| Filiph | thx, i'm already trying | 10:10 |
| dgjones | IAMSAM, This should help you - Freenode recommends setting up your nick in this fashion: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | fraroco: so testtestkolf.bmp would become tkolf.bmp? | 10:10 |
| Smegzor | i did a few things before the reinstall. I backed everything up and ran a command that dumped all my installed packages to a text file. | 10:10 |
| souper | Smegzor, I knew i was going to have to reinstall alot but I was hoping that at least my settings and cache's would be saved | 10:10 |
| cha0s | can anyone tell me how to do this: gdb -batch -x .gdbcomm ./server >> lucius.log 2>&1 | 10:11 |
| cha0s | so that gdb still accepts my keyboard input? | 10:11 |
| juzzy_ | IAMSAM, /msg nickserv register <password> | 10:11 |
| fraroco | ActionParsnip, Yeas I mean that ... | 10:11 |
| === IAMSAM is now known as TheOneAndOnly | ||
| === zool__ is now known as zls | ||
| ActionParsnip | fraroco: let me google | 10:11 |
| === xp_prg is now known as xp_sleep | ||
| souper | well i guess my question is if the actual binaries and libraries are independent of whats stored in the home directory | 10:12 |
| Smegzor | I've lost no browser stuff or anything settings wise. A few things have broken but I can't be sure the reinstall broke them. I can't change my wallpaper (these are critical problems!) ;) | 10:12 |
| TheOneAndOnly | juzzy_ for some reason, it just echos the output after nickserv | 10:12 |
| fraroco | thks ... I did not know how to google for that Question ... ActionParsnip | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | fraroco: is it a common start name or are they all different | 10:12 |
| souper | or rather vica versa | 10:13 |
| TUplink | im stumped...... how do i turn my volume up? i think im using oss | 10:13 |
| juzzy_ | TheOneAndOnly, it seems you have an old version of xchat :/ | 10:13 |
| TheOneAndOnly | juzzy_ it's the latest version on hardy :( | 10:13 |
| juzzy_ | >.> | 10:13 |
| fraroco | they are all different, ActionParsnip | 10:13 |
| juzzy_ | -TheOneAndOnly- VERSION xchat 0.18 Linux 2.6.24-12-generic [i686] | 10:13 |
| TheOneAndOnly | juzzy_ xchat_gnome... might make the diff | 10:13 |
| juzzy_ | -juzzy_- VERSION xchat 2.8.4 Ubuntu | 10:13 |
| hischild | juzzy_, i also use the latest one. | 10:13 |
| sphinxx | how come my user name is not part of the 'admin' group | 10:14 |
| bsdnewb07 | why would it | 10:14 |
| juzzy_ | -hischild- VERSION xchat 2.8.4 Ubuntu | 10:14 |
| sphinxx | instead it is part of the 'john' group, which is the username | 10:14 |
| souper | it shouldn't be | 10:14 |
| bsdnewb07 | add it yourself | 10:14 |
| juzzy_ | hmm | 10:14 |
| souper | it should be part of the sudo group | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sphinxx: its so you have to sudo / gksudo admin tasks | 10:14 |
| NetUser_1 | hi to the room | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hi NetUser_1 | 10:14 |
| bsdnewb07 | is it in the sudoers file? | 10:14 |
| hischild | juzzy_, i'm using the latest one on hardy | 10:14 |
| juzzy_ | either way you should be able to /msg nickserv register password TheOneAndOnly | 10:14 |
| TheOneAndOnly | hi NetUser_1 | 10:14 |
| juzzy_ | same hischild | 10:14 |
| bsdnewb07 | is this a fresh install souper? | 10:15 |
| bsdnewb07 | i had the same prob, you have to boot in recovery mode to add urself to the sudoers file | 10:15 |
| souper | bsdnewb07, what do you mean? | 10:15 |
| bsdnewb07 | is this a fresh install? | 10:15 |
| souper | from a fresh install my username was in the sudo group | 10:16 |
| souper | strike that | 10:17 |
| souper | admin group | 10:17 |
| NetUser_1 | i cannot boot my pc(grub error and a god knows what else-non fixable-) is there any way to learn my email passwords stored in pigdin through live cd? | 10:17 |
| * souper was thinking of a different distro | 10:17 | |
| TheOneAndOnly | NetUser_1 | 10:17 |
| TheOneAndOnly | yes | 10:17 |
| Filiph | hischild, OK Nice!! hope it wil work | 10:17 |
| fraroco | how could I change the name of a list of files just leaving the last 4 characters before the extension? | 10:17 |
| TUplink | is there a way to turn up the volume.... with OSS from the command line? | 10:17 |
| Blinds | a | 10:18 |
| NetUser_1 | TheOneAndOnly:how? | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: yes, you can use the live cd and then mount the drive with your home directory on it, then find the .purple folder, which contains all your pidgin passwords | 10:18 |
| Blinds | :) | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: if you need any help with that, we're very happy to provide more specifics :) | 10:18 |
| netro_ | hi all | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | !hi | 10:18 |
| NetUser_1 | compwiz18: probably i'll need it ... | 10:18 |
| krupa^ | hello all! hello..! i have server that used for my php development.. i have already ubuntu 7.10 on him. i saw there is ubuntu server edition.. what is the diffrents? is it better to install the server edition? ... thanks! | 10:19 |
| hischild | compwiz18, ubotu and ubotwu are dead | 10:19 |
| TheOneAndOnly | NetUser_1, i'm looking, pidgin stores your pw's in plain text, i'm just not sure where | 10:19 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: sure. first, boot the cd and tell us when you get there :) | 10:19 |
| compwiz18 | hischild: ah | 10:19 |
| compwiz18 | TheOneAndOnly: it's in .purple | 10:19 |
| TUplink | i need to increse volume......... | 10:19 |
| NetUser_1 | compwiz18: unfortunately i dont have my pc with me right now.... | 10:20 |
| compwiz18 | TheOneAndOnly: ~/.purple/accounts.xml, it would appear | 10:20 |
| netro_ | irc through telnet sure is inconvenient... | 10:20 |
| TheOneAndOnly | haha, that's what i thought, ty compwiz18 | 10:20 |
| compwiz18 | TheOneAndOnly: it took me forever to figure out that pidgin puts stuff in .purple ;) | 10:20 |
| compwiz18 | .pidgin would be far to obvious, I guess :P | 10:20 |
| hischild | compwiz18, i compiled gfire (xfire for pidgin) ... try to find out where to put it :P | 10:21 |
| juzzy_ | Its not like .purple is cryptic | 10:21 |
| compwiz18 | true, but it isn't obvious either | 10:21 |
| juzzy_ | I hate that damn pidgeon too :P | 10:21 |
| NetUser_1 | compwiz18: how do i mount and which directory specific? | 10:21 |
| compwiz18 | turns out there is libpurple that is pidgin's backend | 10:21 |
| askand | What is the name of the hidden file I have to put on my MTP-player to show it in rhythmbox? | 10:21 |
| fraroco | how could I change the name of a list of files just leaving the last 4 characters before the extension? | 10:21 |
| TheOneAndOnly | NetUser_1. it's in the /home/youruser directory | 10:21 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: there should be some drives listed on the desktop, click on them until you find one that has a /home folder in it | 10:21 |
| Ward1983_ | why would a school block IRC... | 10:22 |
| * Ward1983_ = pissed off | 10:22 | |
| cha0s | yeah, purple runs on multiple platforms, and it isn't 'pidgin' on mac for instance, but maybe you'd want to use a cenral .pidgin directory for all your platforms to keep your logs/configuration consistent | 10:22 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: click the home folder, then click your username | 10:22 |
| eth01 | most schools do :) | 10:22 |
| cha0s | .purple directory xD | 10:22 |
| compwiz18 | so that students actually work? | 10:22 |
| eth01 | the isp's we actually provide schools with internet access, sometimes block it from their side anyhowl. | 10:23 |
| eth01 | anyhow, even | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: you'll have to enable hidden folders (press ctrl+h in the file browser) and then find the folder called .purple | 10:23 |
| hischild | compwiz18, yes. That's why i use my laptop and some wireless network that is around there | 10:23 |
| terminal | can anyone suggest m d setting of software sources | 10:23 |
| Ward1983_ | compwiz18, i need support... i am doing all they ask of me at the moment | 10:23 |
| eth01 | which * ! | 10:23 |
| Ward1983_ | hischild, try using port 8000, zorks too | 10:23 |
| NetUser_1 | compwiz18: and then (i am a bit newbe...) | 10:23 |
| Ward1983_ | if its open at school | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: then you'll want to find the file called accounts.xml | 10:23 |
| hischild | Ward1983_, i still prefer my laptop :-) has everything set up like i want it to ;-) | 10:23 |
| DragonLotus | hey all I just installed the restrictive drivers for the ATI cards to get direct rendering enabled in ubuntu gutsy and now fglrx is giving me errors. | 10:24 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: double click it, and you'll see a bunch of stuff -- I think you can probably figure out what your passwords are (they'll be in something like <password>mysupersecretpassword</password> | 10:24 |
| compwiz18 | ) | 10:24 |
| Ward1983_ | hischild, me too, but i mean maybe you dont need to use another network | 10:24 |
| Ward1983_ | hischild, 8000 works fine here | 10:24 |
| compwiz18 | mibbit works great too | 10:25 |
| bsdnewb07 | how do i make a coloured motd? | 10:25 |
| hischild | Ward1983_, well i'm not allowed to use my laptop on the school network anyway ... because i'm running ubuntu and they don't know that | 10:25 |
| bsdnewb07 | or colour directorys on ssh terminal | 10:25 |
| terminal | can anyone suggest m d setting of software sources | 10:25 |
| Ward1983_ | anyway, i cant change my resolution anymore, it seems it happened when i connected another monitor | 10:25 |
| Ward1983_ | hischild, over here ubuntu is ok :) | 10:25 |
| hischild | Ward1983_, well my school is in the top 10 of spammers of the netherlands because they didn't have a strict policy .. :P they changed the policy to very uber strict... :( | 10:26 |
| terminal | when i run apt-cache search wine oss i got nothing | 10:26 |
| TheOneAndOnly | hischild, my work forbids us from bringing laptops after me and 2 other guys brought our ubuntu boxes in :( | 10:26 |
| Ward1983_ | hischild, which school if i may ask? im living in belgium | 10:26 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: that should be it; if you have any more questions about it, feel free to ask :) | 10:26 |
| hischild | TheOneAndOnly, that sux tbqh | 10:27 |
| netro_ | misnix: aaah a dutch companion | 10:27 |
| hischild | Ward1983_, REA College in hoensbroek | 10:27 |
| JanPeter | nederlander | 10:27 |
| hischild | TheOneAndOnly, well if they even try to forbit me using my laptop i'm gonna freak out on em :P | 10:27 |
| Ward1983_ | hischild, ah dunno it, i live in limburg :) | 10:28 |
| netro_ | veel nederlanders hier maar zullen we het weer engels houden / a lot of dutch people here but let's stick to english | 10:28 |
| terminal | when i run apt-cache search wine oss i got nothing | 10:28 |
| TheOneAndOnly | hischild, haha, my school can't tell me no, i'd be like, i have to have it... | 10:28 |
| eth01 | terminal: what do you want? | 10:28 |
| hischild | Ward1983_, it's near heerlen ... | 10:28 |
| Ward1983_ | netro_, did i speak dutch? | 10:28 |
| NetUser_1 | compwiz18:but won't i need something like root privileges to get into my accounts files? | 10:28 |
| eth01 | terminal: you'll need to add the wine repo to sources.list in /etc/apt | 10:28 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: since you're on the livecd, you shouldn't | 10:28 |
| hischild | netro_, we're not interested what language you want to keep it to. | 10:29 |
| terminal | eth01:i want 2 install audio driver oss | 10:29 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: if you do for some reason though, you can run gksudo nautilus in the terminal, which will get you a root file browser | 10:29 |
| Ward1983_ | english are rules but we didnt breqk them, we talked english and used dutch placenames | 10:29 |
| JanPeter | why must you speak english? kind of weird rule.. | 10:30 |
| JanPeter | i'm not dutch but i speak a little | 10:30 |
| Ward1983_ | JanPeter, for dutch you can go to #ubuntu-nl :) | 10:30 |
| compwiz18 | JanPeter: we have other channels for non-english support | 10:30 |
| hischild | JanPeter, because this is an english channel, not a dutch one. There's #ubuntu-nl for the dutch ppl. | 10:30 |
| terminal | eth01:how | 10:30 |
| eth01 | JanPeter: i speak welsh, german and latin! but, this channel is English for a reason -- so that everybody understands each other properly. | 10:30 |
| terminal | eth01:how | 10:31 |
| Ward1983_ | eth01, he did not know about the other channels i presume | 10:31 |
| hischild | terminal, don't repeat yourself that fast. He'll have seen your first question and respond to that one. | 10:31 |
| eth01 | terminal: you don't need to ask twice? | 10:31 |
| terminal | eth01: sryyyyyyyyyy | 10:32 |
| eth01 | terminal: you on 7.10 ? | 10:32 |
| Christoz | hello how can i format an unlocated part of hard drive (free space) to install slackware? | 10:32 |
| terminal | ya | 10:32 |
| negge | Christoz you can use GParted | 10:32 |
| eth01 | terminal: sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list | 10:33 |
| Christoz | i've downloaded but i was expecting a 2d interface | 10:33 |
| compwiz18 | 2d interface? | 10:33 |
| Christoz | i mean gparted | 10:33 |
| negge | Christoz you mean a GUI? | 10:33 |
| eth01 | terminal: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search wine foofoofoo | 10:33 |
| Christoz | actually i don't know how to use it | 10:33 |
| Christoz | yes | 10:34 |
| compwiz18 | Christoz: gparted should give you a GUI | 10:34 |
| negge | Christoz there's a GUI for gparted | 10:34 |
| compwiz18 | Christoz: the GUI is in System -> Administration | 10:34 |
| hischild | eth01, don't you have to execute 2 commands for it? | 10:34 |
| Christoz | i have the gparted live cd | 10:34 |
| negge | yeah, and if you use KDE it's under System --> Partition Editor | 10:34 |
| eth01 | hischild: update first, and then search for whatever :) | 10:34 |
| troofy | what things to keep in mind before buying a .com? | 10:34 |
| NetUser_1 | compwiz18: ...and so the drive icons are the file manager...and since i find the accounts.xml i just "find" the word password.but won't they be encrypted or something? | 10:34 |
| negge | Christoz you don't need the live cd for this one I think | 10:34 |
| eth01 | troofy: #web | 10:34 |
| hischild | eth01, i meant before you can install it properly i meant ... before it shows up properly in the repo's | 10:35 |
| FBIGuy | uh live cd is just running ubuntu without installing or changing any files right? | 10:35 |
| troofy | k | 10:35 |
| sphinxx | whats the fastest you guys can beat mahjonhg (map difficulty) | 10:35 |
| negge | FBIGuy yes | 10:35 |
| compwiz18 | NetUser_1: they can't be encrypted, otherwise you'd have to type a password in every time you wanted to login to your accounts | 10:35 |
| eth01 | hischild: he wanted a particular package | 10:35 |
| FBIGuy | k | 10:35 |
| FBIGuy | just checking | 10:35 |
| negge | hehe | 10:35 |
| * FBIGuy sticks ubuntu stickers on everyone | 10:35 | |

| Christoz | the ubuntu's partition editor doesn't let me to create more than 4 partition ...considering i have 3 ext3 and 1 ntfs | 10:39 |
| TheOneAndOnly | Chistoz, you have to make them extended partitions | 10:39 |
| compwiz18 | Christoz: it's a limitation, you have to make extended partitions | 10:39 |
| geirha | Christoz: yes, four is the maximum, however, you can create an extended partition which you in turn can many logical partitions in | 10:40 |
| Ward1983_ | TheOneAndOnly, 7.10 sorry | 10:40 |

| TheOneAndOnly | no worries | 10:40 |

| Christoz | i've unlocated 30 gb from ntfs ...so what should i do...can you expain the benefits and non benefits of extended? | 10:41 |
| redheat | some help around here would be appreciated please | 10:41 |
| redheat | I'm trying to partition my harddrive for the ubuntu and opensuse installation | 10:41 |
| Christoz | in other words i don't understand it | 10:41 |
| redheat | I already have two primary partitions for both of my windows editions, windows xp, and windows vista | 10:42 |
| redheat | the space left I have chosen to make it an extended partition | 10:42 |
| redheat | within that extended partition I'm creating logical drives | 10:42 |
| geirha | Christoz: if you have 4 partitions you have to delete one, and make an extended partition in its place | 10:43 |
| redheat | extended partitions was given the number 3, while the first logical partition created in that extended partition was given the number 5 how come? | 10:43 |
| redheat | why is number 4 missing | 10:43 |

| redheat | please some help | 10:44 |
| TheOneAndOnly | redheat, patience is a virtue, friend | 10:44 |
| redheat | 4 primary partiton, but iwasn't lainning | 10:44 |
| redheat | ok, sorry about that.. | 10:44 |
| redheat | truly apolgozie | 10:44 |
| majikins | ie I don't want the previous window size to be remembered | 10:44 |
| TheOneAndOnly | no worries mate | 10:44 |
| erUSUL | redheat: all logical partitions start numbered at 5 | 10:44 |
| redheat | didn't see your answer til lyou wrote it | 10:44 |
| negge | redheat and Christoz : I would just leave the space where you'll be installing ubuntu/suse/whatever unformatted | 10:44 |
| Daniel^ | when doing netstat -a , what is the command to print the linecount instead of the connections? | 10:45 |
| negge | then you just point the installer to use that free space and it will partition everything automatically for you.. | 10:45 |
| geirha | agalavis: I think the package «mail-notification-evolution» is the one you want to install, I haven't tried it, but I think it's a panel-applet that checks for mail, and opens evolution if you click on it | 10:45 |
| negge | atleast that's how I did it yesterday on a friends computer | 10:45 |
| TheOneAndOnly | redheat, i'm looking for the answer as to WHY it does that, but I can tell you, it's nothing to worry about, logical volumes skip a number for some reason | 10:45 |
| MatBoy | does someone know what the latest binary driver of Nvidia is ? | 10:45 |
| MatBoy | I'm running 100.14.19 | 10:45 |
| redheat | negge, the problem with that choice, if I tried to let any of the two OS to do that, they gulp all the unformatted space for themselves leaving none to the other one | 10:46 |
| Christoz | brb | 10:46 |
| TheOneAndOnly | negge, that's a good way to do it, except some people like to set the partions up themselves... seperate /home /tmp /boot etc | 10:46 |
| redheat | actually, I just tried that with ubuntu and it did that.. | 10:46 |
| === qmario_ is now known as QMario | ||
| redheat | TheOneAndOnly, all I create for any of the two partitions is the root partitoin, I never do that home thingy | 10:47 |
| redheat | negge, when you said that free space, did you mean I should leave free space within an extended partition, or outside of it.. | 10:47 |
| redheat | because these two options are world apart.. | 10:47 |
| TheOneAndOnly | redheat, i think he's assuming you have unallocated space that doesn't have any partions set on it yet, it is just a blank disk space | 10:48 |
| TheOneAndOnly | if you have that, ubuntu can use that, and should set the partions up automatically | 10:48 |
| TheOneAndOnly | like he said | 10:48 |
| TheOneAndOnly | they* | 10:48 |
| redheat | TheOneAndOnly, by the way there's an awesome, article on neosmart.net about the numbering of harddrives on both linux and windows | 10:49 |

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 from the AMD64 Alternative CD, and when it finished, I popped out the CD and it says "No operating system was detected" I did some searching on the net and people are saying that it may be the grub boot loader.

| redheat | guys, my friends..read this good tutorial on how to make your Linux distribution load from within your windows bootloader using a program called EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Linux http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu | 10:56 |
| rewati | DistroJockey hi i did that now what | 10:57 |
| redheat | one of the two URLs above show how to create an Ubuntu entry within vista's boot loader | 10:57 |
| sayap_ikarus | ghyrfty | 10:58 |
| DistroJockey | rewati: try pressing the m key when you have a channel with mm listed under it, or max volumes on cannels | 10:58 |
| DistroJockey | channels^ | 10:58 |
| redheat | assuming that you already have dual boot window scheme and that you need to add more non-windows and non-mac operating systems, since those two operating systems require primary partitions, | 10:59 |
| DistroJockey | rewati: use the right and left arrow keys to choose a channel | 10:59 |
| rewati | DistroJockey I have set every chanell to MM | 10:59 |
| DistroJockey | rewati: mm = muted | 10:59 |
| rewati | DistroJockey ok so shud i do 00 | 11:00 |
| DistroJockey | rewati: OO / 00 = not muted | 11:00 |
| ICQnumber | how can i save information of acpidump as plain text only? (acpidump > bla.txt or there is a better solution)? | 11:00 |
| rewati | DistroJockey ok i did 00 to all | 11:00 |
| rewati | DistroJockey now | 11:01 |
| DistroJockey | rewati: test it I guess. And does having the phones plugged in block the speakers? | 11:01 |
| VSpike | Would I be able to use the rotating feature of this monitor with ubuntu? http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/reviews/article.php/3581941 | 11:03 |

| VSpike | I realise of course the supplied software will not work, but I'm wondering if xrandr will work instead (even if I have to do it manually) | 11:03 |
| DistroJockey | ICQnumber: that command should do the job. Is it not suitable? | 11:04 |

| Fjodor | Hi. I removed two old dvd-drives, and replaced them with a single drive, now named /dev/dvd1. How do I tell the system that the old ones aren't coming back, and that it should name it /dev/dvd (or /dev/dvd0)? | 11:06 |
| kikokos | i want to remove vista from hp laptop ,has anybody done this operation? | 11:06 |
| Neillithan | well, i have been met with zero success | 11:06 |
| DistroJockey | ICQnumber: not sure what you mean by hex numbers. What you see on screen when you do acpidump should be identical to what gets put in the file | 11:06 |
| Neillithan | it still says there is no operating system. | 11:06 |

| OsamaK | compwiz18: How to install KDE 4? | 11:21 |
| compwiz18 | pen: chances are you can do it; I don't know how | 11:21 |
| pen | compwiz18: so if I installed a virus then I wouldn't have to worry about being infected because it will only infect the folder | 11:21 |
| compwiz18 | pen: but you probably won't install a virus in ubuntu | 11:22 |
| wers | what's wrong with ubuntuforums?! :O | 11:22 |

| pen | compwiz18: yea, instead of virus people usually want to experience with new programs or configs. | 11:22 |
| compwiz18 | Ubuntu forums got orangified | 11:22 |

| Lamego | Monona, sudo | 11:28 |
| Serg1 | pen you sucks a little | 11:29 |
| AlexC_ | pen, yeah, I don't need the usually :P I need to find out the location of the home directory for a given user | 11:29 |
| hischild | it is possible to mount directories over ssh, correct? | 11:29 |
| Serg1 | maybe you need to shut-up? | 11:29 |
| Serg1 | :D | 11:29 |
| pen | AlexC_: / root | 11:29 |
| pen | Serg1: :D I'm not glad to | 11:29 |
| AlexC_ | pen, funny. | 11:29 |
| Lamego | hischild, I believe it is, using sshfs | 11:29 |

| dotech | anyone here running intel quad core and 8gb ram? | 11:32 |
| hischild | dotech, why? | 11:32 |
| Serg1 | i don't what to be here like on #linux on undernet, where all insult you | 11:32 |
| pen | Serg1: well, I'm watching | 11:32 |
| dotech | just curious, im building that system in a day or so and was considering ubuntu as my OS | 11:32 |
| AlexC_ | how can I find out the home directory for a specified user, via CLI? | 11:32 |
| Serg1 | what=want | 11:33 |
| Lamego | Al2O3, grep user /etc/passwd | 11:33 |
| Lamego | or, finger username | 11:33 |
| dotech | probably the 8.04 beta until the official release | 11:33 |
| hischild | dotech, it runs quite well on it. I don't have the box you have, but a friend of mine does. Runs fast .. | 11:34 |
| AlexC_ | Lamego, hum, I should be able to do something with `finger`, is there anyway to just get the home directory, though? | 11:34 |
| Broady | why is gnome so slow on a p4 2.5 ghz? | 11:34 |
| dotech | hischild: good to hear, its been a while since i ran linux on new hardware so i was afraid it may not work | 11:34 |
| Lamego | AlexC_, grep $USER /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f5 | 11:35 |
| hischild | dotech, you should be good :-) | 11:35 |
| dotech | i'm tired of long compile times so this should help :) | 11:35 |
| AlexC_ | Lamego, didn't quite do it =3, thanks either way - I can work with this =) | 11:35 |
| dotech | how about 3 monitors on 1 system? | 11:35 |
| dotech | that works well too? i have 2 nvidia PCI-E cards | 11:36 |
| hischild | dotech, haven't tried that ... but it might just work ... would love to hear the feedback on that! | 11:36 |
| dotech | i figured i would end up tweaking some X settings but we'll see how it goes | 11:36 |
| dotech | should have the system built by the end of the week and I'll install the OS when i do, will certainly provide feedback | 11:37 |
| BusError | can I recompile the kernel package keeping the same version/abi ? I want to tweak one of the built-in module, but keep the rest intact... | 11:38 |
| hischild | BusError, if it's a module you want to recompile, you can just switch the modules around iirc | 11:39 |
| peace-keeper | where do i set environment variables that i want to be set at boot time? | 11:41 |
| _moro_bana_ | anyone know of any typing games | 11:41 |
| peace-keeper | like JAVA_HOME | 11:41 |
| Monona | Grrr. Mixxx still doesn't want to play music. Anybody know how I can fix that? | 11:41 |
| peace-keeper | what's a typing game? :D | 11:41 |
| _moro_bana_ | aaaaaaa. software that we use to improve typing speed | 11:42 |
| kelvin911 | i have a 3 GB rar file and it has passwordprotected, i try to extract it and it is extracting for a minute i dont know how long it is going to finish | 11:42 |
| _moro_bana_ | peace-keeper: i dont know what to call it, did you see the last msg | 11:43 |
| blanktheherewego | How do I kill a post installation script for apt, I went to install mscorefonts and then decided I didn't want it, which means now even a apt-get remove fails because it tries to download all the fonts again. | 11:43 |
| peace-keeper | you mean for practicing typing on the keyboard? | 11:43 |
| _moro_bana_ | peace-keeper; yes , those, what do you call em | 11:43 |
| kelvin911 | how come file roller doesnt show the % in extracting file? | 11:43 |
| hischild | blanktheherewego, install it, then remove it. | 11:44 |
| === Zelta_ is now known as Zelta | ||
| peace-keeper | don't know what to call that.. | 11:44 |
| _moro_bana_ | peace-keeper: well, know of any? | 11:44 |
| peace-keeper | you could just try to repeat everything people say in here :) | 11:44 |
| blanktheherewego | Bah, is there any way around it hischild ? | 11:44 |
| hischild | blanktheherewego, it's the cleanest way to go around it. | 11:45 |
| blanktheherewego | bleah | 11:45 |
| hischild | blanktheherewego, if you just install it (like it wants) and then remove it, there won't be something left from it as it uninstalled properly. | 11:46 |
| _moro_bana_ | anyone know of any software ...for practicing typing | 11:46 |
| hischild | _moro_bana_, junior-typing ? (that's a package...) | 11:47 |
| hischild | s/package/meta-package | 11:47 |
| _moro_bana_ | hischild: thanks | 11:47 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, are you a serious linux nut or what? | 11:48 |
| juzzy_ | You seem to know just about everything :P | 11:48 |
| hischild | juzzy_, i know far from everything, but aptitude is my good friend ;-) | 11:49 |
| juzzy_ | Yeah | 11:49 |
| mad_max02 | 23 more days | 11:49 |
| mad_max02 | :D | 11:49 |
| kindofabuzz | he just google's real fast =) | 11:49 |
| hischild | kindofabuzz, hey that's my secret! | 11:49 |
| kindofabuzz | lol | 11:49 |
| juzzy_ | I rarely use synaptic, I usually know the package name and apt-get is soo much faster | 11:49 |
| hischild | juzzy_, that may be true, but i hate to type sudo apt-get autoremove if it finds orphaned packages, and aptitude has better dependency control. | 11:50 |
| juzzy_ | Yeah I keep hearing that | 11:50 |
| hischild | and synaptic? no ty :P | 11:50 |
| juzzy_ | But never have problems with apt-get | 11:50 |
| kindofabuzz | juzzy_: if you don't know the exact name you can do apt-cashe search | 11:50 |
| hischild | juzzy_, neither did i ... | 11:50 |
| kindofabuzz | apt-cache* | 11:50 |
| juzzy_ | Synaptic takes forever to load for me | 11:50 |
| _moro_bana_ | whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude anyway | 11:50 |
| kindofabuzz | _moro_bana_: good question, been wondering that myself | 11:51 |
| Domitor_Invictus | I've got a small question. | 11:51 |
| Domitor_Invictus | I get no sound on YouTube, can anyone help? | 11:51 |
| Domitor_Invictus | I can play media files with sound and all that, but not on YouTube. | 11:51 |
| hischild | _moro_bana_, long story. Aptitude used to have a few problems, which is why apt was created. Aptitude has fixed those issues a while back, yet apt remains. In general, IMO, aptitude has better dependency control. | 11:51 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, since you know ALMOST everything help me fix my /dev/disk/by-uuid problem :( | 11:52 |
| hischild | juzzy_, and yes, apt is faster then aptitude, but speed isn't everything if you have to do the same thing 3 times, while aptitude does that only once | 11:52 |
| hischild | juzzy_, i'll give it a go.. what's up? | 11:52 |
| juzzy_ | upgraded my mythbuntu from gutsy to hardy and rebooteed | 11:52 |
| juzzy_ | now in boot it sits on mounting root filesystem | 11:53 |
| juzzy_ | and then stalls | 11:53 |
| kindofabuzz | hischild: so you think sudo aptitude is better than doing sudo apt-get? | 11:53 |
| hischild | kindofabuzz, imo yes | 11:53 |
| juzzy_ | eventually it gives an error involving disc/by-uuid error | 11:53 |
| hischild | juzzy_, i see... | 11:53 |
| juzzy_ | Mmm :( | 11:53 |
| kindofabuzz | i'll try it | 11:53 |
| juzzy_ | Have checked vol_id and it matches that in fstab | 11:54 |
| _moro_bana_ | hischild: i see. i remember sometime back i was trying to apt-get something , was failing. was adviced to aptitude, the "walla" | 11:54 |
| _moro_bana_ | the walla* | 11:54 |
| _moro_bana_ | then* | 11:54 |
| juzzy_ | _moro_bana_, n key borked? :P | 11:54 |
| _moro_bana_ | juzzy_: probably | 11:54 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, any insight? | 11:55 |

| hischild | rio, set the gateway to your own ip. | 12:25 |
| kelvin911 | i did find a dvd-rw on my drawer | 12:25 |
| rage | When using gksu to run a proram, is there a way to get the programs return value? i.e if I run gksu false, can I tell that the application has failed? | 12:25 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. :( | 12:25 |
| kelvin911 | i am going to burn it | 12:25 |
| juzzy_ | that makes me sad | 12:25 |
| hischild | juzzy_, what? o.O | 12:25 |
| rio | hischild: how to set the gateway? | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | Stupid new kernel can't find my hdd | 12:26 |
| hischild | juzzy_, i can understand that ... | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | me either | 12:26 |
| hischild | rio, same way, but then use gateway somewhere i think ... | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | old kernel finds at least ONE of my hdds | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | to boot from | 12:26 |
| hischild | *can't | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | But the new one can't see the hdd | 12:26 |
| blankthemuffin | What type of drve are they juzzy_ ? | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | WD 750GB | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | SATA2 | 12:26 |
| sami | hischild, any idea? | 12:26 |
| hischild | juzzy_, hmm plz tell me it's not a compiled kernel right? | 12:26 |
| hischild | sami, what is the error? | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, its whatever kernel the repo has | 12:26 |
| juzzy_ | I have nfi how to mod or compile my own kernel | 12:27 |
| blankthemuffin | Have you tried turning off APCI or whatever it is in your bios | 12:27 |
| blankthemuffin | juzzy_, that is ^^ | 12:27 |
| hischild | juzzy_, hmm ... perhaps a reinstall would help, (just the kernel) | 12:27 |
| juzzy_ | No, but both drives were working fine before i updated to hardy | 12:27 |
| sami | hischild, booting up now, let me check | 12:27 |
| juzzy_ | gutsy would boot and recognise both drives fine | 12:27 |
| wenton | when i enter the command: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i get back segmentation fault.... any way to fix this? | 12:27 |
| rio | hischild: ifconfig doesnt have any gateway options afaik :/ | 12:28 |
| hischild | wenton, remove ndiswrapper, download the source, and compile yourself. Do you run hardy? | 12:28 |
| hischild | rio, it does | 12:28 |
| sami | The CD-ROM does not seem to contain a valid 'Release' file, or that file could not be read correctly. | 12:28 |
| wenton | gutsy | 12:28 |
| farkewie | hi i installed ubuntu on one partition and then kubuntu on another, if i format the kubuntu will that stop my ubuntu from booting up? | 12:28 |
| rio | hischild: sure? | 12:29 |
| sami | The log says that cdrom-detect: Error reading Release file; unable to determine distribution | 12:29 |
| hischild | rio, well the script that i use for host only networking manages to set the gateway so i'm fairly sure | 12:29 |
| rio | hischild: maybe it uses route? | 12:29 |
| wenton | whats the advantage of compiling myself | 12:29 |
| _moro_bana_ | whats wrong with the pastebin | 12:29 |
| hischild | rio, then use route =) | 12:29 |
| hischild | sami, alright .. | 12:29 |
| === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde | ||
| hischild | juzzy_, you have a seperate /home? | 12:31 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, /home is on root partition | 12:31 |

| Bobezuk | Co to są złecenia stałe? | 12:31 |
| juzzy_ | and theres data on that drive | 12:31 |
| juzzy_ | So no format .. :P | 12:31 |
| hischild | juzzy_, that sux tbqh... | 12:32 |
| juzzy_ | Mmm | 12:32 |
| sami | hischild, Any idea? | 12:32 |
| rio | hischild: pinging addresses that are bound to local interfaces shouldnt even cause a lookup in the routetable or am i wrong? | 12:32 |
| hischild | sami, i'm looking ... sec | 12:32 |
| hischild | rio, you can block local traffic using iptables, so it does make a difference iirc | 12:33 |
| juzzy_ | hischild / blankthemuffin where would I find ACPI in bios? | 12:33 |
| hischild | juzzy_, think under settings or powerstuff | 12:33 |
| juzzy_ | k | 12:33 |
| rio | hischild: anyway, iptables isnt running | 12:33 |
| hischild | rio, it was an example that even local traffic also uses networking stuff. | 12:34 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, its only got ACPI Suspend Type S1 or S3 | 12:34 |
| juzzy_ | :/ | 12:34 |

| hischild | _moro_bana_, hmm ... try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 12:37 |
| sami | hischild, it is correct, That's the problem. | 12:38 |
| juzzy_ | hischild, changed ACPI from S3 to S1 and still times out during bootup | 12:38 |

| hischild | bsdnewb07, read answers when they are given. You cannot restrict access as they require read access for a proper functioning system. | 12:38 |
| hischild | juzzy_, S1 and S3 is only for how deep your system goes to sleep when hybernating. | 12:39 |
| Suicidal_Failure | kindofabuzz, yeah bro, they are disturbing | 12:39 |

| hischild | gilan, please ask your question on one line so we can all follow it and answer it. | 12:41 |
| ChrisGibbs | anyone know of a kernel that supports upto 8Gb of RAM, restricted modules, 32bit 7.10 Ubuntu and is in APT??? | 12:41 |
| gilan | ok. sorry | 12:41 |
| hischild | ChrisGibbs, it's not possible to support more then 4gb on 32bit due to address limitations. | 12:41 |
| Suicidal_Failure | kindofabuzz, its lucky you can select an alternativ3 | 12:41 |
| hischild | ubuntu_, yes we can help you. Do you still have the live cd? | 12:41 |
| ubuntu_ | hischild yes i have it right now | 12:42 |
| Bobezuk | Whot is demon cromtab? | 12:42 |
| DistroJockey | ChrisGibbs: I'm pretty sure no 32bit will do more than 4GB of RAM | 12:42 |
| gilan | hischild: i am using hardy beta. my laptop toshiba tecra a8. sd cardreader doesn't mount. error msg:mmc0: card claims to support voltages below the defined range. These will be ignored. | 12:42 |
| ChrisGibbs | hischild: It can be done with PAE turned on in the kernel | 12:42 |
| _moro_bana_ | hischild: http://rafb.net/p/RKcTk214.html | 12:42 |
| kindofabuzz | Suicidal_Failure: where at? | 12:42 |
| hischild | ChrisGibbs, you seem to know what you need then. | 12:43 |
| void^ | ChrisGibbs: use the server kernel, it has pae enabled | 12:43 |
| hischild | Bobezuk, it's a program that can run commands at specified times. | 12:43 |
| hischild | gilan, what does dmesg give you? | 12:43 |
| Suicidal_Failure | kindofabuzz, bottom left | 12:43 |
| ChrisGibbs | void^: yeah but i dont get restricted modules for my 6800 nvidia :( | 12:43 |
| hischild | _moro_bana_, can you please pastebin your /etc/hosts file? | 12:43 |
| kindofabuzz | Suicidal_Failure: thanks | 12:43 |
| ChrisGibbs | DistroJockey: kernel will support upto 64Gb with a supported CPU and the PAE option turned on | 12:43 |
| juzzy_ | ChrisGibbs, if you can afford 8gb ram, buy a new gfx card :P | 12:44 |
| void^ | ChrisGibbs: yes, you'll have to compile the module yourself. | 12:44 |
| Suicidal_Failure | kindofabuzz, no probs | 12:44 |

| kindofabuzz | that's a cruel joke | 12:45 |
| juzzy_ | ChrisGibbs, you said 6800 | 12:45 |
| ChrisGibbs | void^: Yeah i know - kernel compiled fine and saw all my RAM but i didnt want to waste 8hrs + to compile restricted modules | 12:45 |
| Vinconzo | hi | 12:45 |

| kindofabuzz | Suicidal_Failure: hmm it' keeps logging me out! | 12:46 |
| hischild | _moro_bana_, please read more carefully: it's /etc/hostS and not /etc/host | 12:46 |

I set the IP of my card in Windows to 192.168.0.1 so I can use it as a gateway, right? I ran sudo network-admin and set gateway and address to the data you can read in this pastebin entry http://modseven.de/pastebin.php?id=1831 | 12:50 |
| rio | hischild: route it to ::1 or to my fe80:1::106 address? | 12:50 |
| binrapt | Unluckily I'm always getting "Network unreachable" :( what am I doing wrong? | 12:50 |
| hischild | rio, route back at yourself | 12:50 |
| rio | hischild: yes both ::1 and fe80:1::106 is me, but should i use loopback or not? | 12:51 |
| _moro_bana_ | hischild: full access? | 12:51 |
| binrapt | I can't even ping the IP I specified for eth0? Huh | 12:51 |

| hackBOX | I heard about that google... kind of magical really | 13:32 |
| hischild | hackBOX: yes it's so magic. No1 seems to have heard of it. | 13:32 |
| hunter | sami, u must have installed some .deb package urself which must have told u that an older or newer version already exist in channels ... | 13:32 |
| TromBoeZoe | hischild, lol.... thanx... i know it works for some have said so, just know body has any tips on how to | 13:32 |
| hischild | hunter: he's trying to create his own install disc with his own repo on it. | 13:32 |

| hischild | kindofabuzz: i have no idea what you're talking about. I have so much patience my computer always does what i want ;-) | 13:51 |
| Dr_willis | Monona, untill you do a 'make install' it stays there. | 13:51 |
| Monona | That's just what I wanted to hear. | 13:51 |
| Dr_willis | Monona, thats why the seqnence is normally './configure' 'make' 'sudo make install' | 13:51 |
| Monona | jrib: I was installing to /usr because most of my program files are in /usr/bin. Is there a better way to do it? | 13:52 |
| jrib | Monona: what are you compiling? | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | Monona, depends on the apps. You may want to put them in /opt | 13:52 |
| h3x | :P | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | its 'safer' to put them in /opt | 13:52 |
| jaffarkelshac | kindofabuzz: i just want to know how to do it. reality its enough | 13:52 |
| Monona | What is /opt? | 13:52 |

| mad_max02 | |Dede|, dude it works. I use it all the time. | 14:15 |

| legend2440 | kindofabuzz: yes that is a known bug in frostwire. if i hit maximize on top right panel it fixes it for a while. i usually use amule because i get more hits when i search for something | 14:16 |

| cvasilak | hi there, gedit tries to load a file which has encoding iso-8859-7 but gedit uses iso-8859-15. How can i change that so the gedit falls back to iso8859-7 when it cannot successfully determine the file encoding? | 14:30 |

| Stavros | how can i downgrade a package to a previous version? | 14:30 |
| zerosignal | with my graphics issues should I still have the "use restricted driver" nvidia drivers check box or should I leave that unchecked? | 14:30 |
| LjL | Stavros: it's in general not supported, but try « sudo apt-get install packagename=version » | 14:30 |
| Rageon | use restricted | 14:30 |
| chimp | Is there a way to connect a terminal emulator to what is happening in a terminal when you do for example ctrl-alt-f2 | 14:31 |
| zerosignal | ok | 14:31 |
| bazhang | zerosignal: if you want 3d use the restricted | 14:31 |
| zerosignal | ok | 14:31 |
| Stavros | LjL: will that upgrade again when i run "aptitude upgrade"? | 14:31 |
| Pelo | cvasilak, you get that error msg when you try to open a file that you shouldn't be opening, make sure you know what this file is about, if you realy realy want to edit that file try with vim | 14:31 |
| zerosignal | then where are these supposed drivers on the nvidia site for the nvidia go 6600? | 14:31 |
| zerosignal | I have looked everywhere and cant find them | 14:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bazhang: im not aksing for help on how to use it im asking for suggestion should i use vbox or vmware this time. ive always been using vbox so i wonder if i should choose vmware this time | 14:31 |
| LjL | Stavros: yes. you'd have to use pinning to avoid that, but don't ask me about it... you can do /msg ubotu pinning for some information, but it's awfully outdated information | 14:31 |

| Pelo | kindofabuzz, /usr/share/icons | 14:32 |

| Webu_ | What's the correct driver for GeForce 7600 GT? My friend's having problems running Frets on Fire properly. | 14:33 |
| LjL | Rageon, you'll be hard pressed to find a card being sold these days without any 3D capabilities | 14:33 |
| zerosignal | so thats what is killing me right now... | 14:33 |
| cvasilak | Pelo, i don't get any error message, gedit fails miserably to identify the correct encoding it uses iso 8859-15 but its iso 8859-7 | 14:33 |
| Rageon | yea i was joking :) | 14:33 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo thanks | 14:33 |
| Stavros | Webu_: nvidia-glx i think | 14:33 |
| zerosignal | I had it working but got gready and decided to upgrade the driver | 14:33 |
| Rageon | sounds like a weak card, where its probably not ;) | 14:33 |
| Stavros | there are only two :p | 14:33 |
| Webu_ | Stavros, okey thanks, it's the 3D driver I suppose? | 14:33 |
| Stavros | Webu_: yes | 14:33 |
| Webu_ | Nice! | 14:33 |
| zerosignal | I was using nvidia-glx but now if I try to go back to that driver it is still forcing my back to using vesa | 14:33 |
| Stavros | Webu_: it should install automatically | 14:33 |
| zerosignal | no matter what I do | 14:33 |
| Rageon | im using glx | 14:34 |
| Webu_ | Stavros, hmm.. | 14:34 |
| Stavros | Webu_: check the restricted packages manager | 14:34 |
| Rageon | but its for tv support | 14:34 |
| Webu_ | Stavros, okey, thanks. | 14:34 |
| Stavros | np | 14:34 |
| CJS3141 | LjL: When you use that command "sudo apt-get install packagename=version", I would assume it tries to install the package? I mean is there a way to just search to see if the package is available first? | 14:35 |
| lartza_ | has anybody got experience with cutenews? i would like the change the encoding to UTF-8 | 14:35 |
| LjL | CJS3141: not quite... the package might not even be available in the repositories anymore, in which case it depends on whether you have it locally or not | 14:35 |
| LjL | CJS3141: also, you may need a "--reinstall" before the "install", now that i think of it | 14:36 |

| LjL | CJS3141: which version do you want to downgrade to? | 14:36 |
| Shubbar | well, i switched to Network Selector but how to use it? | 14:36 |
| genii | CJS3141: apt-cache policy <packagename> usually lists what versions you have of a particular package | 14:36 |
| CJS3141 | LjL: I want to go from Firefox 2.0.0.13 to 2.0.0.12... any ideas? | 14:37 |
| kindofabuzz | CJS3141: probably best to ask on forums.mozillazine.org | 14:37 |
| kindofabuzz | what's wrong with .13? | 14:37 |
| Shubbar | i added my router SSID, it shows up, but does not connect to it | 14:38 |
| LjL | CJS3141, it's likelt that you cannot do that, as the version in the "main" repository is 2.0.0.6. try apt-cache policy firefox and see which versions you have available | 14:38 |
| zackyramone | hey guys, can anyone tell me how i can create an ntfs partition using gparted.. cause in the features only viewing is marked | 14:38 |

| philwyett | zackyramone: Go to http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ | 14:40 |
| kindofabuzz | CJS3141: best firefox help around is on there foruns, forums.mozillazine.org | 14:40 |
| philwyett | zackyramone: I think you will need ntfs-progs to create ntfs partitions. | 14:40 |
| CJS3141 | LjL: only other version available is 2.0.0.6--maybe I should just roll back to that? | 14:40 |
| kindofabuzz | CJS3141: wikipedia is working fine for me, but i use firefox 3beta4 | 14:40 |
| LjL | CJS3141: if you have such a need to roll back... i can't guarantee there isn't any danger involved, though | 14:41 |
| kindofabuzz | CJS3141: you're introducing alot of security flaws if you roll back, that's why they come out with new cersions | 14:41 |
| CJS3141 | kindofabuzz: Thanks, maybe I'll give the mozilla forums a try, see if I can find any info on my problem. I would rather just go back to 2.0.0.12 as that was working fine. | 14:41 |

| iositd | Webu_, do as it suggests ==> sudo dpkg --configure -a | 14:57 |
| bazhang | Webu_: run that command ;] | 14:57 |
| ZummiG777 | OK - I'm good on that one. Is there a way then in top to show what each processor load is individually? | 14:58 |
| luis_ | good morning you all peopple | 14:58 |
| firefly2442 | ZummiG777: you can go into the System Monitor (under Administration) | 14:59 |

| luis_ | i like to request some help, i did install limewire pro, the thing is that is taking it a lot to get connected, is almost minutos trying but nothing, how can i fix this can someone help me please?????????????????????????????? | 14:59 |
| Webu_ | Oh thanks :-) | 14:59 |
| firefly2442 | luis_: do you have a router with a firewall or something that could be blocking it? | 15:01 |
| bazhang | luis_: what system? XP? | 15:01 |
| CJS3141 | LjL, bazhang: thanks for the help, gotta go for now... take care and cheers! :-) | 15:01 |
| luis_ | i have kubuntu | 15:01 |
| bazhang | limewire on wine luis_? | 15:03 |
| luis_ | and yes i have a router | 15:03 |
| luis_ | lime wire | 15:03 |
| luis_ | is the only one i know works fine | 15:03 |
| cchild | instead of using shred or wipe to prevent data recovery, would an encrypted formatting of the disk be just as secure instead? | 15:03 |
| luis_ | well with windows but with kubuntu seems to have problems | 15:03 |
| bazhang | they have a native linux client luis_? | 15:03 |
| iositd | cchild, as long as others can't access it, yes | 15:03 |
| unop | luis_, try restarting limewire and have a little patience, it eventually does connect up | 15:03 |
| Rageon | what are some good graphics games i can play on ubuntu? | 15:03 |
| luis_ | what do you mean sorry but i am new on kubuntu and theres a lot | 15:03 |
| firefly2442 | Rageon: open source or just that have clients for Linux? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | sauerbraten Rageon but offtopic here | 15:03 |
| Rageon | open source i guess | 15:03 |
| zerosignal | ok I am getting really confused now.. | 15:03 |
| Rageon | ive checked all the repo games | 15:03 |
| cchild | iositd; a disk is being sent back to manu. so would just formating with encryption better since shred to so much time? | 15:04 |
| luis_ | or do you know any other progran that works fine in kubuntu to download music????????????????????? | 15:04 |
| LordAnubis | Anyone from Armenia here? | 15:04 |
| bazhang | luis_: no piracy talk here thanks | 15:04 |
| Rageon | whats sauebraten | 15:04 |
| zerosignal | I just completely uninstalled nvidia-glx and nvidia-legacy then rebooted to start from scratch again | 15:04 |
| luis_ | ok | 15:04 |
| luis_ | sorry | 15:04 |
| iositd | cchild, manu = maintance or sth like that? you'll have to rewrite the entire disc, preferably with random data to prevent recovery. | 15:04 |
| zerosignal | so I booted back up and now the system started using the nv driver | 15:05 |
| iositd | cchild, whether you use shred or wipe or format with encryption for that, doesn't matter. | 15:05 |
| iositd | cchild, you can even use dd for that | 15:05 |
| zerosignal | no when I try to reinstall the restricted nvidia drivers it is installing the nvidia-glx-new drivers which dont work on my card | 15:05 |
| legend2440 | Rageon: http://sauerbraten.org/ | 15:07 |
| zerosignal | what do I do now? | 15:07 |
| Rageon | cheers | 15:07 |
| zerosignal | the thing I dont get is when my drivers were working before I only had the nvidia-glx driver installed in synaptic... | 15:07 |
| cchild | iositd, it is being sent to manufacture-and you know they will look at the files, how come formating the entire drive with encryption wont help? | 15:07 |
| zerosignal | Now if I try to do that exact same thing it doesnt work | 15:07 |
| iositd | cchild, just removing partition stuff won't help, you'll have to physically write over the entire drive, with random data preferably. | 15:07 |
| cchild | iositd, would good then is the encryption? | 15:07 |
| Rageon | sorry to be offtopic again, but are they are repos that i can get games like openarena and lincity? | 15:09 |
| NDPTAL85 | They don't exactly have the time to be spying through people's hard drives. | 15:09 |
| iositd | cchild, you don't have to use encryption as long as your not going to use it. | 15:09 |
| firefly2442 | Rageon: check getdeb.net | 15:09 |
| NDPTAL85 | Its a paranoid concern, unless you have something illegal on it and I ain't talking pirated software. | 15:09 |
| bazhang | !ot | 15:09 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:09 |
| Rageon | ok, do things in getdeb work on ubuntu ? | 15:09 |
| esteth | Rageon: You don't need repos, but just .deb files. Those will use the package system but are just downloaded like normal files | 15:09 |
| Rageon | ok | 15:09 |
| esteth | Rageon: In theory, yes, but there is no support for packages from getdeb | 15:09 |
| unop | cchild, i don't see why you are looking into encryption here? you aren't protecting any data that is going to exist on the harddrive -- simply overwrite the harddisk with random data, and that should suffice | 15:09 |
| cchild | iositd, the reason i am thinking of just formating the entire drive/encrypted is because shred takes just to long for a 250G HD | 15:09 |
| bazhang | http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=openarena Rageon | 15:10 |
| esteth | cchild: If you Want to wipe the entire drive i would reccomend DBAN (boot and nuke) | 15:10 |
| iositd | cchild, look at what unop wrote. | 15:10 |
| Rageon | so i download lincity-ng and lincity-data.. what do i do then? | 15:10 |
| Rageon | cheers bazhang | 15:10 |
| Jeruvy | Rageon: I would assume you'd install them and run them, but you don't have to | 15:10 |
| cchild | unop, iositd, thanks makes sense now | 15:10 |
| Rageon | yea but like do i just say open with gedbi package manager or? | 15:11 |
| Jeruvy | Rageon: what does the README say? | 15:11 |
| Rageon | what readme | 15:11 |
| Jeruvy | Rageon: look in the package | 15:11 |
| Rageon | dont have it yet, so i need to save... one sec | 15:12 |
| esteth | Rageon: downlaoded .deb files can be double clicked and a box pops up where you hit "install this" | 15:12 |
| soundray | Rageon: is there any reason why you're not installing lincity from the Ubuntu repositories? | 15:12 |
| cchild | and to the one who said so long i don't have any thing illegal on the drive, is not about anything illegal, it is about privacy. How would you like you phone calls tapped? | 15:12 |
| kZn | bonjour je cherche quelqu'un qui pourrait répondre à 2 3 questions, étant débutant... | 15:12 |
| Rageon | these guys sent me to getdeb lol | 15:12 |
| iositd | !fr | kZn | 15:12 |
| ubotu | kZn: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 15:12 |
| lain_ | Hello, is it safe to resize my WinXP partition using GParted in Ubuntu? (I have a dual boot configuration) | 15:12 |
| soundray | !fr | kZn | 15:12 |
| Rageon | ahh cool | 15:12 |
| kZn | merci ;) | 15:13 |
| Jeruvy | cchild: you're ranting...whats your issue :) | 15:13 |
| legend2440 | Rageon: openarena and lincity are both in synaptic | 15:13 |
| esteth | lain_: It is reasonably safe to boot from the live CD and run gparted from there. Trying to resize a mounted partition will cause serious problems. Also, no partition resizing operation is 100% safe. | 15:13 |
| soundray | lain_: remember, data you haven't backed up is data you don't want | 15:13 |
| lain_ | esteth: Thanks. So if it's not 100% safe, should I not resize it..? | 15:13 |
| unop | lain_, it's the rule of the thumb to always make sure you have all data backed up before you do something like that with your harddrive -- but it is generally safe, yes | 15:14 |
| Rageon | is there any multiplayer games that lots of debian ppl play? | 15:14 |
| lain_ | unop, soundray: Okay, thanks. | 15:14 |
| compwiz18 | lain_: it is recommended to have a backup of all important data first :) | 15:14 |
| Lamego | lain_, it is safe, but as a general rule it is a safe practice to backup before doing partition changes | 15:14 |
| bazhang | Rageon: you really need to join #ubuntu-offtopic ;] | 15:14 |
| lain_ | Lamego, compwiz18: Alright, I'll backup first, thanks. | 15:14 |
| cchild | Jeruvy, i guess you weren't following; but in any case my question has been answered | 15:14 |
| Jeruvy | cchild: I was...you were ranting | 15:14 |
| siraj | can any one tell me pls what is the format command in freedos not flushing data but full format | 15:15 |
| esteth | lain_: As the others have said. Backup anything important, then do your resizing from a liveCD unless you're not changing the partitions that you are using when ubuntu is loaded | 15:15 |
| cchild | Jeruvy, are you sure? | 15:15 |
| iositd | cchild, yes you were. | 15:15 |
| lain_ | esteth: Okay. | 15:15 |
| iositd | now please, let's stop the useless discussion. | 15:15 |
| bazhang | indeed | 15:15 |
| Jeruvy | please | 15:16 |
| chmavr | hi!i am using hardy beta.my gpu is x1950pro agp version...which driver should i use??fglrx supports my card??? | 15:16 |
| dgjones | !hardy | chmavr | 15:16 |
| ubotu | chmavr: 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 | 15:16 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for 8.07 discussion thanks | 15:16 |
| esteth | i assume 8.07 is the april-fools name for 8.04? | 15:16 |
| iositd | bazhang, let's make that 8.04 :-) | 15:16 |
| mactaylor | will ubuntu speed up with 2 gigs of ram? | 15:17 |
| iositd | mactaylor, depends on how much you going from. It'll become faster if you increase it. | 15:17 |
| unop | 8.07 - hardy heron ultimate edition? :) | 15:17 |
| bazhang | iositd: check /topic in #ubuntu+1 ;] | 15:17 |
| mactaylor | 1gig | 15:17 |
| cchild | good day all and bye for now | 15:17 |
| iositd | bazhang, thank you <3 you made my day | 15:17 |
| firefeather | mactaylor: I think a good way to tell is if your swap is getting used a lot | 15:18 |
| bazhang | haha | 15:18 |
| chmavr | aanyone please? | 15:18 |
| mactaylor | 19.1MB | 15:18 |
| mactaylor | swap used | 15:18 |
| iositd | bazhang, "This is not #ubuntu" | 15:18 |
| soundray | chmavr: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 15:18 |
| bazhang | chmavr: need to join #ubuntu+1 | 15:18 |
| esteth | chmavr: #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions | 15:18 |
| mactaylor | vista used 1.3GB swap | 15:18 |
| bazhang | iositd: haha yeah | 15:18 |
| iositd | mactaylor, i used to run it just fine with 1gb of ram and no swap (7.10 that is) | 15:18 |
| chmavr | ok thanks! | 15:19 |
| firefeather | mactaylor: I doubt you will experience much of a speed increase but programs like GIMP may | 15:19 |
| mactaylor | ram usage hovers around 333MB out of 896MB. | 15:19 |
| mactaylor | 128MB is used by my gpu. | 15:19 |
| firefeather | So you should be all good but I'd love to have that much ram myself. | 15:19 |
| iositd | mactaylor, wait till you run heavier programs. I now top over 1,5gb most of the time :P | 15:20 |
| mactaylor | is it normal for ubuntu to use the 2 cores of my processor 50/50? | 15:21 |
| iositd | mactaylor, may happen yes | 15:21 |
| corinth | Where are the default Ubuntu wallpapers located? | 15:21 |
| mactaylor | corinth: /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 15:22 |
| firefeather | corinth: I think they're in /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 15:22 |
| mjanisz | hi! id' like to install ubuntu in a few days, however with upcoming release of 8.04 i'd like to ask if it's better to install 7.10 and dist-updgrade or do the same bur with 8.04b ? | 15:23 |
| * firefeather sees the topic and figures that Hardy's being delayed so it can have firefox 3 ;) j/k | 15:23 | |
| jrib | mjanisz: depends on whether you want a stable system or not | 15:23 |
| unop | mjanisz, depends if you want to wait ~25 days or not? | 15:23 |
| bazhang | 23 | 15:23 |
| firefeather | mjanisz: There can be problems with upgrading from the beta or RC to the full version that you don't get when you do a regular upgrade. Such was the case with Feisty -> Gutsy. | 15:24 |
| androo | i think they're in . | 15:24 |
| mjanisz | jrib: how unstable is 8.04b? i can wait 25 days as long as i have my system up and running. not quite production system, but for casual use | 15:24 |
| === b0ha is now known as _saw | ||
| SpencerStarnes | If I want to build a Ubuntu Server. Will I have the ability to use FTP, WebDAV, Remote Access to the server, and NAS. | 15:24 |
| firefeather | mjanisz: It really depends on who you ask | 15:24 |
| bazhang | mjanisz: best try the livecd of gutsy and if you like it then try it--an upgrade to the next release is easy via the net | 15:24 |
| mjanisz | so you say it's better to install 7.10 and later on dist-upgrade? | 15:24 |
| mjanisz | bazhang: i know gutsy, i use it quite a lot and i know i like it, but i'm concerned about dist-upgrade to 8.04 | 15:25 |
| soundray | mjanisz: is this the first time you will be installing ubuntu? | 15:25 |
| firefeather | mjanisz: It will tend to be better | 15:25 |
| bazhang | mjanisz: dont be concerned it is nice | 15:25 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as BBishop | ||
| mjanisz | so if it's more reliable to install 7.10 and later on upgrade to 8.04 than 8.04b->8.04 i believe i'll go with 7.10 | 15:26 |
| jrib | mjanisz: if you're asking whether you should install it or not, I'd recommend 7.10 | 15:26 |
| firefeather | mjanisz: But like I said...it really depends. I'm not trying it because I just got done reinstalling and I don't want to lose anything. On Planet Ubuntu they mention broken builds at times that won't boot or things like that, but I think those are the daily builds. | 15:26 |
| TrichomeKid | Hello.. I am getting the following message when booting: "Undefined video mode number: 2f6". Is there something I should change in my grub loader? | 15:27 |
| BBishop | if my monitor says I'm using 1280x1024 .. and I see that's 1280x1024 .. but the menubar and the app bar only look like 1024x768 .. what should I do ? | 15:27 |
| soundray | mjanisz: it's probably best to install gutsy or beta and do a fresh install when hardy is released | 15:27 |
| firefeather | mjanisz: If you're even considering doing a clean install of 8.04 when it comes out, I'd recommend making sure you have a separate /home/ partition | 15:27 |
| erUSUL | mjanisz: an upgrade is allways safer than a dist-upgrade imho | 15:27 |
| mjanisz | erUSUL: you mean a clean install, right? | 15:28 |
| firefeather | BBishop: Check your font size. | 15:28 |
| erUSUL | mjanisz: beta to final is an upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 is a dist-upgrade | 15:28 |
| LeGreffi3R | erUSUL> you can't be sure of your upgrade in a beta version... | 15:29 |
| CoastonCute | Dear Ubuntu Users. I am getting BLOODY SICK of both aMSN and Pidgin. Neither one can message cell phones | 15:29 |
| soundray | erUSUL: that's not how it's explained in man apt-get | 15:29 |
| LeGreffi3R | erUSUL> dist-upgrade stable -> stable+1 is way safer than upgrade in a beta... | 15:29 |
| pir | CoastonCute : are they supposed to? | 15:29 |
| CoastonCute | As far as I was aware at least the MSN clone would have it. | 15:30 |
| CoastonCute | MSN does after all | 15:30 |
| CoastonCute | It used to be a matter of throwing the cell no' in as the email | 15:30 |
| CoastonCute | but not any more apparently. | 15:30 |
| mjanisz | allright, i think the case is settled for me and i'll go with 7.10 | 15:30 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: I don't know if those porgrams have all the MSN features, but you might also try emesene | 15:30 |
| soundray | CoastonCute: this is a support channel. For sounding off, please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:30 |
| mjanisz | thanks! | 15:30 |
| BBishop | firefeather: well .. the app bar is limited to 1024x768 .. and so is xchat | 15:31 |
| CoastonCute | ok soundray, I'll be good. I was in here looking for advice and support, just It's been a long day so I have a short fuse. | 15:31 |
| BBishop | but firefox got on the whole screen | 15:31 |
| CoastonCute | so emesene has the mobile phone features? | 15:31 |
| legend2440 | TrichomeKid: do you have an entry like vga=<some number> in menu.lst file? | 15:31 |
| bazhang | pidgin does irc right? | 15:32 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: I don't know but when I had it installed it had most of the MSN features. If nothing else, their website may be useful in letting you know if it has that featuer before you download it. | 15:32 |
| TrichomeKid | legend2440: I was just about to see what that file looks like.. one second | 15:32 |
| soundray | bazhang: yes | 15:32 |
| === butchy_nice_ is now known as co-djail | ||
| bazhang | thanks soundray | 15:32 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: http://www.emesene.org/ | 15:32 |
| TrichomeKid | legend2440: both entries are vga=758 | 15:33 |
| legend2440 | TrichomeKid: try passing vga=792 or vga=791 | 15:34 |
| TrichomeKid | alright, thank you. | 15:34 |
| CoastonCute | Thank you Firefeather, I'll give it a shot, | 15:34 |
| TrichomeKid | legend2440: on both entries, correct? | 15:34 |
| legend2440 | TrichomeKid: yes | 15:34 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: no problem | 15:34 |
| CoastonCute | Next stupid question. once I have the source code, how would I go about installing it? | 15:34 |
| CoastonCute | Keeping in mind I've been on linux for about...3 days now. | 15:35 |
| TrichomeKid | legend2440: alright, thanks a lot. this must've gotten changed when i upgraded to the new beta | 15:35 |
| noppe | how would i format an external hdd with n partitions? | 15:35 |
| soundray | !compile | CoastonCute | 15:35 |
| compwiz18 | CoastonCute: can you use the package manager? System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager? | 15:35 |
| ubotu | CoastonCute: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 15:35 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: I wouldn't recommend installing it from source; I didn't realize; look for it in your repositories | 15:35 |
| bazhang | CoastonCute: why compile? if it is in the repos that is the best bet--if you want to compile then install build-essential | 15:35 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: Where compwiz18 mentioned ;) | 15:35 |
| CoastonCute | I'm sorry, my brain just detonated. | 15:36 |
| CoastonCute | What?! | 15:36 |
| compwiz18 | !packages | CoastonCute | 15:36 |
| ubotu | CoastonCute: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 15:36 |
| compwiz18 | the package manager makes it easy to install packages with a single click | 15:36 |
| compwiz18 | none of this fancy visiting websites stuff :P | 15:36 |
| compwiz18 | (well, multiple single clicks. about three, to be precise) | 15:36 |
| soundray | noppe: use gparted. Make sure you create no more than three primary partitions and make numbers 4 to n logical ones | 15:36 |
| firefeather | Oh, bad news; I can't find emesene in the Ubuntu repositories. | 15:37 |
| compwiz18 | I'll check getdeb | 15:38 |
| CoastonCute | I see on emesene in the synaptic doowhatsit. | 15:38 |
| CoastonCute | no* | 15:38 |
| firefeather | compwiz18: Good idea | 15:38 |
| compwiz18 | good news | 15:38 |
| compwiz18 | http://getdeb.net/app/emesene | 15:38 |
| compwiz18 | that should save you a lot of trouble | 15:38 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: You're right; it's not there. Go to compwiz18's link and you can get an installer there. | 15:39 |
| CoastonCute | Brilliant. Thank you ^^ | 15:39 |
| CoastonCute | How do I know which one to get? | 15:39 |
| compwiz18 | I'm guessing you want Gutsy 32 | 15:39 |
| CoastonCute | I don't know if I'm on 32 or 64 bits | 15:39 |
| compwiz18 | if you don't know, you're probably on 32 | 15:39 |
| CoastonCute | ok | 15:40 |
| compwiz18 | it'll tell you if you're wrong when you try to install it | 15:40 |
| firefeather | It will also let you know if you ended up downloading the wrong one | 15:40 |
| compwiz18 | just pick the other one if it complains | 15:40 |
| compwiz18 | the software installing idea takes some getting used to sometimes | 15:40 |
| firefeather | compwiz18: You're just too fast of a typer for me to get an answer out :) | 15:40 |
| compwiz18 | its a lot different then windows | 15:40 |
| DeadLy_sp | hey, somebody using irssi please? | 15:40 |
| jrib | CoastonCute: run uname -m | 15:40 |
| Lamego | actually emesene is arch indedepent :P | 15:40 |
| compwiz18 | firefeather: ;) | 15:40 |
| amadeus | !349 | 15:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 349 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:40 |
| CoastonCute | Hardware I can work. Building PC's is easy. Running them is a completely different game. | 15:41 |
| compwiz18 | Lamego: which may be, but GetDeb doesn't seem to care too much about its Pythonness | 15:41 |
| balle | is there a place where i can DL new themes for gutsy? | 15:41 |
| compwiz18 | art.gnome.org | 15:41 |
| bazhang | gnome-look.org | 15:41 |
| Lamego | compwiz18, yes it does, its an -all- package, the 2 archs is just the default organization | 15:41 |
| compwiz18 | Lamego: ah | 15:41 |
| firefeather | balle: You can also find some in the repositories | 15:41 |
| compwiz18 | this is what I get for not using getdeb very much | 15:41 |
| CoastonCute | The installers are easier to run then on winxp | 15:42 |
| Lamego | compbrain, this is what I get for managing it :P | 15:42 |
| compwiz18 | Lamego: ah, cool :) | 15:42 |
| firefeather | balle: gnome-themes-extras has a few more things, including a dark theme called Darklooks | 15:42 |
| compwiz18 | Lamego: I'm trying to think of a better way to display that it is arch independent, but I think that doing that would just confuse most people | 15:43 |
| balle | firefather: sudo apt-get install gnome-themes-extras? | 15:43 |
| firefeather | balle: Yep. Then look in your apperance preferences | 15:43 |
| maxagaz | is it possible to write using the mouse with Kopete ? | 15:44 |
| kippy | hey guys is there a way to change the boot splash screen on ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| firefeather | balle: It instals a couple of application themes (gtk themes), icon themes, and maybe even some window border themes (metacity) | 15:44 |
| xlrrn | can someone explain to me what ubuntu hardy (8.04) is? isn't 8.10 already out, hence the latest version? Why is 8.04 still undergoing development? Thanks. | 15:44 |
| maxagaz | there's a pen on my dialog window, but it's grey, I can't click on it | 15:44 |
| jrib | xlrrn: the latest version is 7.10 | 15:44 |
| balle | firefather: i have lokked in the original themes, looking for something extra.. | 15:44 |
| firefeather | xlrrn: 8.10 is the version that will come out in October of this year. | 15:44 |
| Lamego | kippy, I believe the startup manager provides such function | 15:45 |
| firefeather | balle: Those are new ones, though :) | 15:45 |
| xlrrn | jrib: oh my bad, 7.10, yes | 15:45 |
| firefeather | balle: Unless you looked in there before it got done installing | 15:45 |

| boubbin | s/top/to | 15:46 |
| kippy | can you guys point me to a resource that tell step by step all the events that occur when we boot a linux box? | 15:46 |
| jughead | jrib, do you know how often the LTS versions are released? | 15:46 |
| jrib | jughead: there's no fixed schedule for those | 15:47 |
| firefeather | xlrrn: And it's usually just fine to upgrade right after the release but usually it takes a while to download right after the release | 15:47 |
| jughead | kippy, there's a program I think it's called bootchart | 15:47 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: D'oh! | 15:47 |
| firefeather | kippy: Bootchart, I think, will do that | 15:47 |
| Lamego | one would guess, an LTS needs to be released before the previous one gets to EOL | 15:47 |
| kippy | okay guys will look them up | 15:47 |

| CoastonCute | In a way, but without having to get off my PC xD | 15:50 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | BBishop: doesn't seem to work in firefox, I can't use my keyboard in firefox | 15:51 |
| CoastonCute | I want the messages that come back to head to my MSN account as opposed to a phone or anything. | 15:51 |
| kindofabuzz | CoastonCute: just google free sms, there are plenty of websites that do free txt pc -to pbone | 15:51 |
| BBishop | weird | 15:51 |
| alexy | salut | 15:51 |
| CoastonCute | Bonjour | 15:51 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | It sometimes happens in xchat too, the input method changes for some reason... and I have to right-click and change to the default input method | 15:51 |
| firefeather | kindofabuzz: CoastonCute's got a point, though. | 15:51 |
| CoastonCute | Oh fine. We'll see what happens. xD Danke again | 15:51 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | (at least I can fix it in xchat that is, but yeah, for some reason in xchat it goes to x input method) | 15:52 |
| === K-Ton_ is now known as K-Ton | ||
| CoastonCute | I'd rather not have my messages directed past some sleazy old guy who beats off while reading them. | 15:52 |
| firefeather | !ohmy | CoastonCute | 15:52 |
| ubotu | CoastonCute: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 15:52 |
| CoastonCute | Sorry, my bad. | 15:52 |
| firefeather | CoastonCute: But I know what you mean :) | 15:53 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | (I kinda hate having to close and reopen firefox, have to load a ton of pages again and all...) | 15:53 |
| kindofabuzz | oh dounno about reicieving txt | 15:53 |
| DonaldShimoda | BBishop: really hardy is delayed? | 15:53 |

| lksl | i use ubuntu what is sda1 ? | 15:53 |
| lksl | what that it mean ? sda1 | 15:53 |
| CoastonCute | What I want to know is how can I supercharge 256 Megs of ram. | 15:54 |
| R3h4B | ubuntuuserinneed: just set Firefox to "show my windows and tabs from last time" | 15:54 |
| xpoint | lksl, sda1 = Scsi Disk Array #1 | 15:54 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | R3h4B: still reloads 'em | 15:54 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | especially youtube videos and the such | 15:54 |
| zosso | lksl: It is a Storage device, sometimes hard drive, sometimes usb flash drive, etc | 15:54 |
| R3h4B | ubuntuuserinneed: but then they are fresh and tasty! | 15:55 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | R3h4B: hehehe | 15:55 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | odd... it's fixed now... | 15:55 |
| lksl | OK on a router what is the storage name ? | 15:55 |
| lksl | sda 1? | 15:55 |
| BBishop | DonaldShimoda, apri 1st joke .. I just also noticed | 15:56 |
| lksl | router in linux | 15:56 |
| DonaldShimoda | BBishop: god.... | 15:56 |
| * ubuntuuserinneed checks if there's an entry for such things, will include a workaround | 15:56 | |
| CoastonCute | OK! I'm outski, ciao everyone. | 15:57 |
| xlrrn | Is using tabs in Gnome-terminal the way to organize tabs? | 15:57 |
| firefeather | xlrrn: I'm not sure what you mean | 15:58 |
| Azur4 | hey, i visited a site that requires adobe flash, I click on the install missing plugin, and it says that it is already installed, that firefox needs to be restarted, i restart firefox, it doesn't work, i restart my laptop, it still doesn't work. Everytime I visit a site that needs the plugin, it has the "install missing plugin" I didn't see it in synaptic either | 15:59 |
| wolfeySI | mhmm i try to work with nautilus and gedit over password protected ftp... and it takes forever i found http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-147799.html on google, 2 years old.. still same problem?! :) | 15:59 |
| wolfeySI | anyone has any idea about this? | 15:59 |
| firefeather | Azur4: What version of ubuntu and firefox? | 15:59 |
| erUSUL | Azur4: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:59 |
| wolfeySI | working directly to 'ftp folder' is great convinience to me | 15:59 |
| Azur4 | Firefox 2, Ubuntu 7.10 | 15:59 |
| jrib | Azur4: pastebin the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of the command 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree' | 15:59 |
| firefeather | Azur4: 64 or 32 bit? | 15:59 |
| Tomasso | how do i get the ubuntu version from command line? | 15:59 |
| Slart | Azur4: you can try removing the flash plugin and reinstalling it "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree" to remove it.. then visit the site again and let firefox install the flash plugin | 16:01 |
| jrib | !version | Tomasso | 16:01 |
| ubotu | Tomasso: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 16:01 |
| Azur4 | firefeather: 32 bit | 16:01 |
| Tomasso | thanx | 16:01 |
| xlrrn | firefeather: Sorry, let me rephrase. I'm in a SSH session and I don't know how to use screen efficiently. I don't want to name screen windows, because I am constantly changing them. After C-a w to list the screen windows open, how do I easily jump to say window 2-$ bash? | 16:01 |
| firefeather | Azur4: Okay, my idea is out then. | 16:01 |
| Azur4 | i think i'm gonna try to remove it like slart said | 16:01 |
| Pici | xlrrn: C-a 2 | 16:01 |
| Slart | Azur4: I can't promise it will work.. but it's an easy fix if it does | 16:01 |
| firefeather | xlrrn: Tabs would work pretty well; note they keyboard shortcuts. | 16:01 |
| xlrrn | firefeather: I can use tabs in one SSH session? | 16:02 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | jrib what does that apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree do? | 16:02 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | because sometimes flash breaks for me... | 16:02 |
| xlrrn | Pici, thanks | 16:02 |
| jrib | ubuntuuserinneed: it just gives you package information | 16:02 |
| BBishop | is the beta stable enough to use ? ... when the final version will be out .. should anything else than apt-get update be done to get stable ? | 16:02 |
| firefeather | xlrrn: Depends on your program. I think if you ssh through bash, maybe not, but I think Putty (?) might have tabbed SSH | 16:02 |
| Slart | BBishop: try asking in #ubuntu+1 ... that's the official hardy support channel | 16:03 |
| firefeather | !ubuntu+1 BBishop | 16:03 |
| bieb | erUSUL are you here? | 16:03 |
| firefeather | Ach n/m | 16:03 |
| xlrrn | I just resized my WinXP NTFS partition using GParted LiveCD. I want to create a fat32 partition, but it won't let me, as "It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions." What should I do now? I don't quite understand what extended partitions are. Thanks. | 16:03 |
| Slart | BBishop: but the earlier versions have worked with a simple apt-get upgrade when the release is final | 16:03 |
| firefeather | Slart: already got it | 16:03 |
| erUSUL | BBishop: yes you will need a apt-get upgrade after the update ;) | 16:03 |
| erUSUL | bieb: yes | 16:03 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | jrib: oh okay thanks | 16:04 |
| BBishop | erUSUL, great :) | 16:04 |
| benanzo | What's up with the forums | 16:04 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | yep, flash broken again... | 16:04 |
| cristomartinez | viva-la-mocita-de-calañas | 16:04 |
| bieb | erUSUL, you and I were talking about fakeraid the other day. Can I create a software raid during the ubuntu install instead of using the BIOS managed fakeraid? | 16:04 |
| firefeather | benanzo: Looks like April fools to me :) | 16:05 |
| benanzo | Ahh yes -- almost forgot | 16:05 |

| b4l74z4r | does anyone use oss along with an x-fi card in ubuntu, and if so, have you gotten sound in flash videos? | 16:06 |
| erUSUL | bieb: yes; i think that you can do that with the alternate cd... let check out... | 16:06 |
| jrib | ubuntuuserinneed: meh, nspluginwrapper is buggy, crashes all the time here too | 16:06 |
| bieb | ok | 16:06 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | heh | 16:06 |

| DjViper | cupcake: evolution? | 16:07 |
| cupcake | want email client that can filter 'from address' | 16:07 |
| firefeather | Leoha_Zveri: You can install kde-desktop package but you might want to read about it on the wiki first | 16:07 |
| Slart | cupcake: evolution or thunderbird are two popular clients | 16:07 |
| bieb | erUSUL thanks | 16:07 |
| firefeather | Leoha_Zveri: I mean kubuntu-desktop | 16:08 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | Slart: I never had such problems before 9.1.1.5 got released it seems | 16:08 |
| jaymacdonald | can anybody help with buffer space errors? | 16:08 |

| Leoha_Zveri | <firefeather> thx, can you please give me a link pelase | 16:08 |
| Leoha_Zveri | please | 16:08 |
| Slart | ubuntuuserinneed: nope.. same here.. I had an older version installed in one separate version of firefox.. and it still runs all the problematic flash apps that crash the newest version | 16:08 |
| xlrrn | Hello, I just resized my WinXP NTFS partition using GParted LiveCD. I want to create a fat32 partition, but it won't let me, as "It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions." What should I do now? I don't quite understand what extended partitions are. Thanks. | 16:09 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | Slart: you can do that!? | 16:09 |
| cupcake | DjViper, will evolution have function to reapply filter rules to all existing emails? if i have 500 emails on evolution, and lots of them are spam, can i apply filter or does filter need to be apply doing syn time (during POP3 update) | 16:09 |

| Slart | ubuntuuserinneed: well.. I use 64 bit ubuntu and I had installed a 32 bit firefox... it used it's own plugins and such... and it uses the older flash.. | 16:09 |
| cupcake | Slart, ok. | 16:09 |
| kindofabuzz | jeremy_: want a cookie? | 16:09 |

| jast-mxm | question about swap, I want to move my swap partition to the beginning of another drive, w/out restarting to a live cd, can i effectively disable swap, create the partition then turn it back on? | 16:10 |
| xlrrn | firefeather, thanks | 16:10 |
| jeremy_ | i still have to find out how to register in here | 16:10 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | Slart: sounds kinda complicated... | 16:10 |
| xlrrn | i'll do more Googling then | 16:10 |
| firefeather | xlrrn: Sounds like that's what it'll have to be... :S | 16:10 |
| Slart | ubuntuuserinneed: well.. it was the only way to get flash to work before | 16:10 |
| xlrrn | firefeather, heh | 16:10 |
| MrMist | quick question... I need to run X completely without OpenGL hardware acceleration on my laptop.. the fans on my GPU runs like hell with the standard installation of Ubuntu | 16:10 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | jeremy: /nickserv help | 16:10 |
| MrMist | Is there any way to disable GL acceleration of X? | 16:10 |
| Slart | MrMist: disable desktop effects in System, appearance | 16:11 |
| jaymacdonald | could someone tell me why I get buffer space errors?!?!?! | 16:11 |
| cupcake | Slart, djennewe , i plan to use an email client in the next few days, and pop3 all emails. then when ubuntu 8 comes, out, i want to do a fresh install. which email client have better migration ablities? | 16:11 |
| MrMist | Slart: and that will disable xgl alltogether ? | 16:11 |
| Slart | MrMist: I'm not sure.. but it will cut back on the usage of the gpu | 16:11 |
| cupcake | Slart, djennewe migration abilities as in a single PST file for ms outlook | 16:12 |
| Slart | cupcake: well.. I guess both are free, open source etc.. shouldn't be a problem with either | 16:12 |
| Zmine | jeremy_ you don't have to register in here..you register on the server so then you're nick is registered no matter what channel you go into | 16:12 |
| MrMist | Slart: Of course... but I want to disable it altogether | 16:12 |
| === HypnoToad is now known as BenderUnit22 | ||
| soundray | MrMist: are you sure this is a GPU-related problem? | 16:13 |
| cupcake | Slart, i can port evolution email into thunderbird? | 16:13 |
| Slart | cupcake: if you think the pst-file approach is a good one then yes.. both clients have excellent migration tools =) | 16:13 |
| ron_asheton | how do I see my machine's external IP address? I'm behind a router | 16:13 |
| cupcake | Slart, thx | 16:13 |
| firefeather | cupcake: In thunderbird, you can back up your profile and then restore it after the reinstall as long as you back it up to a place that's safe during the reinstall | 16:13 |
| MrMist | soundray: No. But it's worth trying it out | 16:13 |
| kindofabuzz | ron_asheton: whatismyip.com | 16:13 |
| unop | ron_asheton, browse to www.ipchicken.com | 16:13 |
| Zmine | jeremy_ you just if you type /msg nickserv help it gives you the steps, it's easy and fast and you pick your own password | 16:13 |
| DonaldShimoda | ron_asheton: www.wichismeip.com | 16:13 |
| Slart | ron_asheton: go to http://www.whatismyip.com | 16:13 |
| soundray | MrMist: I suggest disabling X altogether (sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop) to see if your fans calm down | 16:14 |
| soundray | MrMist: in my experience, these problems tend to be ACPI- rather than graphics-related | 16:14 |
| soundray | MrMist: does acpi -V give you a sensible readout? | 16:14 |
| jeremy_ | ok i get this when i try 2 register Syntax: REGISTER <password> | 16:14 |
| Slart | whichismeip? is that like an irish version? ey, laddie.. which s'me ip? =) | 16:14 |
| ron_asheton | isn't there a way to see it in the shell? that's what I'm curious | 16:15 |
| cupcake | firefeather, sound like i need to use "export" and "import" command within the email client. will it work if i just place the backup_files manually in /home/user/.somewhere/someplace ? | 16:15 |
| Zmine | right...see where it says password...you type the password you want to use | 16:15 |
| Slart | ron_asheton: nothing really easy.. might be some weird telnet service out there or something | 16:15 |
| jeremy_ | k thanks | 16:15 |
| Zmine | I know you had probs with it yesterday so hope it works today for you | 16:15 |
| firefeather | cupcake: yes, to a degree; see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup | 16:15 |

| firefeather | cupcake: I'm not saying Thunderbird's the best solution because I don't know how Evolution or other clients do it; I'm just familiar with Thunderbird, so... | 16:16 |
| balle | last time i used the drivers for my graphics card an nvidie 6600 go i think, it totally messed up the screen, but i would like the visual enhancements and the use of another screen, so is there a safe way to enable the restricted drivers? | 16:16 |

| Randomtime | ya | 16:19 |
| gegema | bazhang: my question is on how to re-set a mysql root password, which am sure can be answered here | 16:19 |
| ron_asheton | there should be an easy shell tool for that... "ifconfig" doesn't tell about external addresses | 16:19 |
| jeremy_ | do i type that in? | 16:19 |
| neverblue | DRebellion, might want to mention to not do it in the channel, as a password maybe exposed | 16:19 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, you copy/paste | 16:20 |
| soundray | gegema: if you have problems following a tutorial, it may well be because of something that's changed in hardy, so go ask in the appropriate channel. | 16:20 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, as it is text | 16:20 |

| === gargan- is now known as gargan | ||

| DRebellion | neverblue, only if he leaves out the slash, and then we can all laugh at his fail | 16:20 |
| jeremy_ | didnt do anything | 16:20 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, and yes, obviously, you dont want your password to be 'yourpassword' | 16:20 |
| bastid_raZor | on 7.10 liveCD scp is installed already? | 16:20 |
| metbsd_ | scp is from ssh | 16:20 |
| OsamaK | Hello! Look at this problem : osama@osama-laptop:~$ dpkg --configure -a | 16:21 |
| OsamaK | dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege | 16:21 |
| OsamaK | osama@osama-laptop:~$ | 16:21 |
| neverblue | DRebellion, he has been fighting with registering since yesterday, I wouldn't be suprised by anything s/he does | 16:21 |
| jeremy_ | ok i wanna use my nick papi2sexy517 | 16:21 |
| OsamaK | What does that mean? | 16:21 |
| bastid_raZor | metbsd_; that doesn't answer if it is already installed. | 16:21 |
| Azur4 | Ok flash is working now, but some sites that i normally viewed in windoze won't work still, (mlgpro.com, flash is working cuz I used youtube to test) | 16:21 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, lovely | 16:21 |
| soundray | OsamaK: it means you should run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 16:21 |
| DRebellion | OsamaK, prefix the command with "sudo" | 16:21 |
| metbsd_ | i'm not answering any question | 16:21 |
| jeremy_ | u have 2 bare with me im still now | 16:21 |
| metbsd_ | what makes you think i'm responding you? | 16:22 |
| jeremy_ | new | 16:22 |
| OsamaK | ok thanks both DRebellion, soundray | 16:22 |
| ron_asheton | soundray, yes... it works, but I'm curious to see some internal tool that does the same | 16:22 |
| neverblue | !sudo | OsamaK | 16:22 |
| ubotu | OsamaK: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 16:22 |
| OsamaK | well | 16:22 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, I think that has obsolutely nothing to do with anything | 16:22 |
| bastid_raZor | metbsd_; if you don't know.. keep quiet :) | 16:22 |
| soundray | ron_asheton: how would an 'internal' tool see your outside address? | 16:22 |
| Zmine | jeremy_ that's fine | 16:22 |
| jeremy_ | what do i type 2 register my nick as papi2s17 | 16:22 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, first rule of IRC: you need to be able to read | 16:23 |
| metbsd_ | no i don't want to keep quiet you newbie | 16:23 |
| soundray | bastid_raZor: yes, scp comes with openssh-client, which is part of the Desktop CD | 16:23 |
| Zmine | neverblue, jeremy_ is trying to register on this server and having problems | 16:23 |
| jeremy_ | ok | 16:23 |
| neverblue | jeremy_, second: you need to know how to type | 16:23 |
| ron_asheton | soundray, god only knows | 16:23 |
| metbsd_ | newbie, scp is part of openssh, rtfm | 16:23 |
| ron_asheton | ehehe | 16:23 |
| Zmine | jeremy_ you have to change your nick to that when you register, otherwise it will register the nick you're using now | 16:23 |
| soundray | metbsd_: do not call people newbies here | 16:23 |
| metbsd_ | ok | 16:23 |
| metbsd_ | hey expert | 16:23 |
| jeremy_ | ok | 16:23 |
| dgjones | jeremy_, you need to change your nick to whatever you want to register, then type "/msg nickserv register <your-password>" | 16:24 |
| bazhang | metbsd_: please stop | 16:24 |
| bastid_raZor | soundray; excellent.. i'm going to use the liveCD to scp some things that doesn't have internet access.. LAN only.. thanks | 16:24 |
| metbsd_ | stop what? | 16:24 |
| bazhang | !coc > metbsd_ | 16:24 |
| Zmine | jeremy_ you don't have to log off to change your nick..just type /nick and then type what you want your nick to be | 16:24 |

| Creationist | ANyone able to tell me why Firefox constantly stops working? I mean, it doesn't crash, it just stops loading pages (they sit on "Loading..." indefinitely). I have to restart Firefox to keep browsing... happens after about a half hour of surfing... every time. | 16:25 |
| Slart | ron_asheton: I don't know if this works for you.. but try this in a terminal "wget -q -O /dev/stdout http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp" | 16:25 |
| neverblue | lol @ bazhang | 16:25 |
| jeremy_ | <papi2sexy517> :Erroneous Nickname (what is that i did what u told me 2 do | 16:25 |
| Zmine | jeremy_ and like dgjones said after you are using the nick you want to use, then type /msg nickserv register and then type the password you want to use | 16:25 |
| metbsd_ | read some document, everyknow that scp and sftp are from ssh pack | 16:25 |

| kindofabuzz | well evidently it is | 16:40 |

| LadyNikon | unop_: would that run better under fluxbox? | 16:46 |
| zerosignal | Question is how can I access the appearence tab to control turning compiz on and off? | 16:46 |
| xlrrn | SErge, you can give 7.04 a try | 16:47 |
| zerosignal | every time I attempt to change from none and custom it asks me to install restricted video drivers | 16:47 |
| LadyNikon | zerosignal: if you are in gnome I believe you can right click and get to the display properties | 16:47 |
| unop_ | LadyNikon, i use it under fluxbox .. it doesnt cure your problem, it just makes it easier managing multiple selections | 16:47 |
| mutew | Hi..how does one increase the resolution in the virtual terminals (Ctrl + Alt + F[1-6])? | 16:47 |

| xlrrn | SErge: what kind of problem? | 16:48 |
| * LadyNikon sigh | 16:48 | |
| unop_ | LadyNikon, yea, but xclipboard should already be installed -- and glipper is a gnome util , i believe | 16:48 |

| balle | last time i used the drivers for my graphics card an nvidie 6600 go i think, it totally messed up the screen, but i would like the visual enhancements and the use of another screen, so is there a safe way to enable the restricted drivers? | 16:50 |
| zerosignal | bastid_raZor; Yea I am on gutsy but whenever I goto the visual tab to turn compiz on and off its saying that I need to enable the restricted graphics driver... I dont want to enable that because it doesnt work on my system | 16:50 |

| brad_mssw | is it possible to make / read-only with ubuntu (specifically want to do this for an embedded [soekris] system)? I've got /var on it's own partition and /tmp as a tmpfs, which I would think would be all that is needed ... it seems as though when you make / read-only, /var doesn't mount properly (really odd, mount shows it mounted, but it seems like something else has mounted on top of it). Perhaps I should just remount / as read-only _after_ boot? any | 17:05 |
| brad_mssw | suggestions here? | 17:05 |

| soundray | DrHala1: you can set up software RAID in principle, but I would advise against it. Sure, you can transfer your home to the new disk -- use Alan Cox's tar tip from the Tips HOWTO to transfer, then update fstab and reboot. | 17:30 |
| nicodarious | stond, man, I have looked all over this thing. all I can find is a dern serial number. | 17:30 |
| Kliment | any idea how to start troubleshooting this? | 17:30 |
| stond | its ok I mean there is some stuff you can do and some stuff you cant do I suggest you try going to www.PSUBUNTU.com and read up on it before if you want at least that is what i did and since I do not have a PC a went ahed and did it until I get one | 17:31 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: You want /, and you want a swap partition. And, as an optional benefit, you may want to keep /home as a separate partition as well (this would be the largest one, usually). | 17:31 |
| kelvin911 | window stick to the bottom of the screen is annoying when using AWN | 17:31 |
| Vixen | Thanks, I have a 3gb swap prepared, and a 5gb space for the OS itself, I have 200gb for where I think the /home will ygo | 17:31 |
| Vixen | Thank you everyone | 17:31 |
| DrHala1 | soundray: may i ask what the problem is with a software raid? | 17:31 |
| Keigo-kun | Vixen: Sounds like a good setup | 17:31 |
| kindofabuzz | murlidhar: did you find it? | 17:31 |
| nicodarious | stond. thanks for the site. I'll check it out! | 17:31 |
| soundray | DrHala1: yes you may ;) | 17:31 |
| kelvin911 | 5GB for OS is enough? | 17:31 |
| Vixen | So I would put the root as the 5gb? | 17:32 |
| Keigo-kun | kelvin911: Depends on what aps you use I guess | 17:32 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: yeah until you start adding stuff | 17:32 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: Yes. | 17:32 |
| kelvin911 | i already using about 12 GB | 17:32 |
| szandi | denisz555 | 17:32 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, would it be better to use more? | 17:32 |
| soundray | DrHala1: it doesn't have any significant advantages for most people, other than being educational. | 17:32 |
| kelvin911 | just install ubuntu a week ago | 17:32 |
| fantaman | hello | 17:32 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: However, I would probably increase that a little more. Seems like you have 200GB to give to /home, I would at least give / some 10GB or so. | 17:32 |
| szandi | lol | 17:33 |
| jaffarkelshac | has anyone used seahorse | 17:33 |
| kelvin911 | i would say 100 GB | 17:33 |
| jaffarkelshac | the pgp package | 17:33 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: That's just my opinion, remember that third-party applications are usually installed in /usr, which will be part of the / partition unless you have partitioned it separately. | 17:33 |
| DrHala1 | soundray: well i dont have to move folders manually thats the advantage | 17:33 |
| fantaman | you know an italian server irc for ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| Keigo-kun | Vixen: Ubuntu usually installs programs in / it seems, 5GB might be a bit weak | 17:33 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, what would be the max you would give it? I have about 400 gb to play with | 17:33 |
| stond | nicodarious the number of gigs is how you tell wha model you see at first ther wher two models the 20GB and the 60GB model now there is the 80GB and the 40GB model | 17:33 |
| soundray | DrHala1: in that case what you want is not RAID, but LVM | 17:33 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-it is here on freenode fantaman | 17:33 |
| Vixen | I'm completely new, if you hadn't guessed |D | 17:33 |
| szandi | ez meg micsoda?:D | 17:33 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: Wow, well hey, give it about 15 or 20 if you like, it really depends on what you plan on using the system for. | 17:33 |
| soundray | DrHala1: although the two can be combined | 17:34 |
| DrHala1 | Keigo-kun: what do you mean everything (every drive etc) is in / | 17:34 |
| fantaman | tnx | 17:34 |
| szandi | nah puszpááás | 17:34 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: I have 10GB allocated for / on my system, and it's been fine for a few years now. About 100GB for /home as well, on my system. | 17:34 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, I plan on using it as an all-round games, work, music makin', tune-storing love box | 17:34 |
| Kliment | anybody else having samba problems since upgrading? | 17:34 |
| askand | Whats up with the forums? some kind of apriljoke? Btw, very fun with the fish in the panel :-D | 17:34 |
| nicodarious | stond, ahh. I see. so the 60 GB is the 1st gen I take it? | 17:34 |
| bazhang | english please szandl | 17:34 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: I'm at about 81% right now on /, so maybe you want to give it a little more. Sounds like you have plenty, so go ahead and give it about 20GB. | 17:35 |
| soundray | Kliment: please ask in #ubuntu+1 if you're on hardy | 17:35 |
| Kliment | soundray: thanks, will do | 17:35 |
| nicodarious | stond, btw, how powerful is the Cell porcessor, since you can only use one core for Other OSes? | 17:35 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, Ok, will do. Also, do I have the opportunity to install apps in other partitions when that 20gb's full? (If ever) | 17:35 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: Technically, you can install apps in any partition you like... the complicated part is making sure that your libraries are probably mapped, among other things. | 17:36 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, And with me being new to this, I won't go that far ;] | 17:37 |
| Vixen | Thanks for all the help | 17:37 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: Honestly, it sounds like you have plenty of space, if you're worried about it, give it 30 or 40. | 17:37 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: But if you've got a separate /home partition, that's always a good thing. | 17:37 |
| soundray | Vixen: if your root partition runs full, what you normally do is to move a branch, e.g. /var/, to another partition to gain space | 17:37 |
| ToroT | Where can I get help with configuring Nagios ? | 17:38 |
| stond | nicodarious I am not sure since I dont know that much about it I do know If I had to say its ok but not the greatest but it is better than nonthing I guess | 17:38 |
| Vixen | soundray, Ok, thanks, I'll be makng a huge root first ;] | 17:38 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, I'll be keeping a seperate /home on hischild's advice | 17:38 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, Thanks for the help, I'm off to install the thing | 17:38 |
| soundray | Vixen: I doubt that you'll ever fill up 20GB. I second the advice on separating /home | 17:39 |
| PurpZeY | How can I determine what drive is mounted at sdb1? | 17:39 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: Good luck! | 17:39 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: mount | grep sdb1 | 17:39 |
| Vixen | soundray, Cheers, I'm off to do it now | 17:39 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, Cheers =] | 17:39 |
| wildman | hello, I want to transfer all my Ubuntu OS to another disk AND make that disk bootable, so, besides the 'copy' operation how do I make the 2nd disk bootable? (that is, how do I reinstall grub on it) | 17:40 |
| lordleemo_ | ToroT: #nagios http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nagios-network-monitoring-system-setup-in-ubuntu.html | 17:41 |
| alex101 | Hello people. | 17:41 |
| sipior | wildman: grub-install | 17:41 |
| wildman | sipior, ex: grub-install /dev/sdb ? | 17:41 |
| alex101 | :/ | 17:42 |
| wildman | sipior, for the '2nd' SATA disk | 17:42 |
| alex101 | Hmm, is there anyone who could please help me with something? | 17:42 |
| insomninja | I try to bind a key to meta+1 with the xmodmap line "keycode 245 = Super_L 1" but it wont work. Any ideas? | 17:42 |
| alex101 | I'll greatly appreciate it if you can. | 17:42 |
| soundray | wildman: you will need the --root-directory option to point to the new root. man grub-install | 17:42 |
| wildman | soundray, ok, thx. | 17:42 |
| sipior | wildman: usually that's fine. might want to look at the --root-directory option, depending upon your setup. | 17:42 |
| sipior | hmm...need to type faster, clearly. | 17:43 |
| porthose | alex101: don't ask to ask just ask | 17:43 |
| soundray | alex101: we won't know whether or not we can until you ask your question | 17:43 |
| bazhang | !ask | 17:43 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 17:43 |
| bazhang | yay! | 17:43 |
| wildman | sipior, thx ;-) (at least you told me the same :P) | 17:43 |
| soundray | !yay | 17:43 |
| ubotu | Glad you made it! :-) | 17:43 |
| alex101 | Well i've never used the irc channel before so i dont know | 17:43 |
| alex101 | b ut thanks :) | 17:43 |
| nicodarious | stond, cool! well, I'll try it out after I have read and have made a decision on what I would like to install. I have heard word that plugging in Puppy Linux USB stick or a DSL stick works, but I have been reluctant to do such a thing. | 17:43 |
| alex101 | I need to know how to install files such as, .tar.bz files, i thinks that what they are. | 17:43 |
| nicodarious | stond, cool! well, I'll try it out after I have read and have made a decision on what I would like to install. I have heard word that plugging in Puppy Linux USB stick or a DSL stick works, but I have been reluctant to do such a thing. | 17:44 |
| soundray | alex101: avoid it when you can. Ubuntu provides most software through a package manager. Read ubotu's private message... | 17:44 |
| soundray | !software > alex101 | 17:44 |
| alex101 | Thanks soundray, but i really need to know how to install them. | 17:45 |
| bazhang | alex101: themes? | 17:45 |
| wenton | i am trying to compile ndiswrapper from source on to a computer that doesn't have internet connection, is there a way for this to be done. | 17:45 |
| soundray | alex101: why, what are they? | 17:45 |
| wildman | soundray, sipior: thx again! I'll try now, wish me luck ;) | 17:46 |
| chri1 | why does my pidgin menu dissapear | 17:46 |
| wildman | bye ppl | 17:46 |
| chri1 | I click pidgin and it says loading then it dissappears | 17:46 |
| alex101 | I cant remember what i last tried installing, soundray. | 17:46 |
| DrHala1 | soundray, but ive to wipe my installation for LVM though right? | 17:46 |
| startherepodcast | wenton maybe you would find the deb easyer | 17:46 |
| alex101 | There's a problem with my Java, too. | 17:46 |
| sipior | wenton: got a usb stick around? | 17:47 |
| chri1 | ethernet came unplugged and replugged and restarted. A disaster with IRC since however internet had no problem | 17:47 |
| neverblue | chri1, run it from a command line, to view output errors... | 17:47 |
| CJS3141 | Are there any special tools for troubleshooting a program that crashes? And I mean a really gruesome crash--total system freezeup, have to power-down/reboot. :-) | 17:47 |
| soundray | DrHala1: no, you can have a non-LVM root and use LVM for data disks | 17:47 |
| DrHala1 | soundray, i just hve one data disk so moving my home dir is simpler i guess.. | 17:47 |
| neverblue | CJS3141, try testing your hardware, on the Ubuntu CD is a copy of Memtest, used to check your RAM | 17:47 |
| sipior | CJS3141: strace will give you an idea of what the program was doing when it died. gdb as well. | 17:48 |
| wenton | sipior yes :) | 17:48 |
| lordleemo_ | wenton: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ put the deb on your stick and tranfer it done | 17:48 |
| azuki | hi all | 17:49 |
| alex101 | Is there anyone that could help me with my Java? | 17:49 |
| azuki | friendly folks | 17:49 |
| wenton | startherepodcast: whats that? | 17:49 |
| insomninja_ | =_= managed to forget to plug in the charger to my laptop | 17:49 |
| startherepodcast | nickname | 17:49 |
| soundray | alex101: we won't know whether or not we can until you ask your question ;) | 17:49 |
| alex101 | Haha told you im new to the irc. | 17:49 |
| * DOOM_NX helloooooooooooooo | 17:49 | |
| alex101 | Well when i use a Java-based application it wont let me type in it. | 17:49 |
| Tobberoth | This is wonderful, I removed all the packages ubuntu-desktop depended on. Now internet doesn't work anymore. | 17:49 |
| CJS3141 | neverblue, sipior: Thanks, about that Memtest, neverblue, is that also the option I get on bootup when it says something about memtest 86? | 17:50 |
| alex101 | And not all Java applications load. | 17:50 |
| alex101 | Some do, some dont. | 17:50 |
| azuki | I have this super annoying little thing.... ---> the menus are transparent (set it somewhere), but this causes my fullscreen game to be transparent also.. I can't find the command to set the transparency of menu's to solid.. please help! | 17:50 |
| insomninja_ | (if somebody has answered my xmodmap question in the meantime, please repost as I'e missed it) | 17:50 |
| soundray | Tobberoth: configure it through /etc/network/interfaces -- 'man interfaces' is useful | 17:50 |
| neverblue | CJS3141, possibly, but to be sure, it is located on the Ubuntu CD, just select memory test, give it some time to test your RAM | 17:50 |
| wenton | i whats the lastest version of ndiswrapper version 1.45 hasn't worked | 17:50 |
| Tobberoth | soundray: Allright, I can try doing that, allthough I don't really know how, my router is supposed to handle such things, gateways etc | 17:51 |
| porthose | if anyone is interested in a good music server checkout http://vollmer.kicks-ass.net | 17:51 |
| bazhang | porthose not here thanks | 17:51 |
| startherepodcast | wenton: you could get build-essential deb and then compile ndiswrapper | 17:51 |
| Tobberoth | Also, I tried to shutdown -r now and when I got back into linux, it went all the way to "loading local scripts" or something like that, there it stopped. | 17:51 |
| CJS3141 | neverblue: OK thanks, I'll give it a try. | 17:51 |
| soundray | Tobberoth: it's probably straightforward -- perhaps you need to just add a line like 'auto eth1' (replacing eth1 with your interface) | 17:51 |
| wenton | is that tricky? im not the best | 17:52 |
| startherepodcast | no | 17:52 |
| soundray | Tobberoth: hit return at that point to see if you get a login prompt | 17:52 |
| startherepodcast | i'll get the link to the deb for you | 17:52 |
| wenton | ty :) | 17:52 |
| azuki | where can I set menu transparency? | 17:52 |
| Tobberoth | Soundray: Ok, I'll try your advice. hopefully I'll come back in here on irssi in the linux partition hehe | 17:52 |
| genii | wenton: According to sourceforge, 1.52 | 17:52 |
| alex101 | Can someone please help me with my Java? I cant type in Java applications or ones that are on firefox, thought i have it installed. Oh, and some Java applications work, some dont, so i dont know whats going on | 17:52 |
| bazhang | azuki: you using compiz? | 17:52 |
| soundray | Tobberoth: if you want help with your interfaces file, put it on a pastebin. pastebinit is a package that makes this convenient | 17:53 |
| alex101 | though* | 17:53 |
| azuki | bazhang: yes.. but I can't find it anywher | 17:53 |
| sipior | alex101: which java VM have you installed? | 17:53 |
| alex101 | the newest | 17:53 |
| bazhang | alex101: this is ubuntu or ubuntu-based; which version | 17:53 |
| sipior | alex101: sun-jdk? | 17:53 |
| bazhang | azuki: what about alt f2 metacity --replace | 17:53 |
| === chri1 is now known as mechanicalchris | ||
| alex101 | yeah | 17:54 |
| alex101 | number 6 | 17:54 |
| startherepodcast | wenton: you can download build essential from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/ | 17:54 |
| wenton | azuki have you downloaded compizconfig? | 17:54 |
| soundray | alex101: which version of java is configured? Find out with update-alternatives --list java (first line) | 17:54 |
| azuki | wenton: yes... it's all in order | 17:54 |
| wenton | ty | 17:54 |
| balle | last time i used the drivers for my graphics card an nvidie 6600 go i think, it totally messed up the screen, but i would like the visual enhancements and the use of another screen, so is there a safe way to enable the restricted drivers? or do an back up, from the GRUB | 17:54 |
| azuki | bazhang: but compiz can't set menutransparenc | 17:54 |
| azuki | bazhang: so when I reboot it'll be back | 17:54 |

| suxxor | i`ve recently install windows book with wine but when i star the book program wants inserted disk but there is now virtual disk on linux to mount the iso | 17:56 |
| ForzaPalermo | any ideas | 17:56 |
| soundray | alex101: there, that's the problem. Run 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and set it to use Sun Java as the default | 17:56 |
| azuki | bazhang: good question | 17:56 |
| suxxor | how can i make to run without virtual disk | 17:56 |
| wenton | ty | 17:56 |
| IanFHood | noobie question -> how can I change/alias the hostname that displays on command prompt without actually changing the hostname? (it is correct as is) | 17:56 |

| FloodBot1 | alex101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:57 |
| Chrisie | mechanicalchris: sometimes it's the .xml files that are corrupt in /home/user/.purple; blist.xml or prefs.xml etc. Personally I drop them using Nautilus into Firefox and see if it tells me which line has the error | 17:57 |
| suxxor | i`ve recently install windows book with wine but when i star the book program wants inserted disk but there is now virtual disk on linux to mount the iso | 17:57 |

| sipior | ForzaPalermo: space between "cd" and ".." | 17:58 |
| soundray | ForzaPalermo: you need to leave a space: cd .. | 17:58 |
| IanFHood | sipior: ty | 17:58 |

| mechanicalchris | how can I view the pidgin "base window" it wont come up | 17:58 |
| * soundray remembers faintly that cd.. worked in DOS... | 17:59 | |
| alex101 | soundray, it still says error loading applet and i stillcant type in java-based things. | 17:59 |
| soundray | alex101: okay, if this is an applet you're trying to load inside firefox, then you need to make sure that firefox is using the Sun Java plugin. Check by entering 'about:plugins' as the URL | 18:00 |
| kinnune | where can i get xmms from? | 18:00 |
| soundray | kinnune: synaptic | 18:00 |
| kinnune | its not there | 18:01 |

| alex101 | thanks joe, im trying tht now | 18:01 |
| soundray | alex101: does it look like there's a competing plugin? | 18:02 |
| mechanicalchris | this is a disaster. why does pidgin just dissappear for no reason when i click it | 18:02 |
| alex101 | Erm, one second. | 18:02 |
| Vixen | Aight, next problem- First the installer failed to creat ext3 over a swap partition that already existed, then it failed to create ext3 over a partition that was corrupted in the last install | 18:02 |
| soundray | kinnune: it's in the universe repository. You may have to enable it | 18:02 |
| alex101 | soundray what bout this one? | 18:02 |
| alex101 | GCJ Web Browser Plugin 0.92 | 18:02 |
| alex101 | ? | 18:02 |
| soundray | !repo | kinnune | 18:02 |
| ubotu | kinnune: 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 | 18:02 |
| wenton | wht do i do now that is on my other ubuntu box startherepodcast? | 18:02 |
| Khisanth | hrm nevermind, lsusb did the trick :) | 18:02 |
| soundray | alex101: that could well be competing and causing your issues | 18:02 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: You don't create ext3 over a swap partition. Maybe I misunderstood the question? | 18:02 |

| startherepodcast | you follow the instructions in the sources of ndiswrapper | 18:03 |

| Sip | no nada | 18:04 |
| mechanicalchris | bazhang: you got this one | 18:04 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: I assume you're using Manual partitioning, correct? If so, delete all of the partitions first, then start from scratch (you can delete partitions by selecting them, and then scrolling down to "Delete this partition"). | 18:04 |
| nalioth | anyone familiar with blosxom ? | 18:04 |
| soundray | alex101: have a look in Tools-Addons -- if you can remove it there, fine. If not, you will have to remove the package that provides it. | 18:04 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, As in, not only unmount them, but delete the partitions themselves? | 18:05 |
| jin__ | hi, how do I load the module ndiswrapper on startup? | 18:05 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: Yes, you can do this from within the partitioner, in the install program. | 18:05 |
| alex101 | Nope, its not there. where could i find where the package is? | 18:05 |
| Vixen | JoeLinux117, Aight, thanks again, off I go | 18:05 |

| === milton is now known as lopin | ||
| startherepodcast | wenton: oh i thought you'd downloaded them | 18:06 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Vixen: However, it will delete the partitions, which will make accessing your data from within the installer impossible (if you have any data you wish to keep there). | 18:06 |
| wenton | nope :S | 18:06 |

| bazhang | nalioth: there are also instructions for windows and mac ;] | 18:14 |
| soundray | !root | cleo | 18:15 |
| ubotu | cleo: 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 | 18:15 |

| b4l74z4r | what is lssl in linux? | 19:07 |
| askand | are there any big pros with using 64bit ubuntu instead of 32? | 19:12 |
| Intelligitimate | Ok, got that problem fixed. | 19:13 |
| Intelligitimate | Now my Metacity is giving me extreme problems. | 19:13 |
| stefg | askand: 32 bit is more convinient, but 64 bit can adress more than 4 GB ram and is quicker e.g. in encoding video | 19:14 |
| Intelligitimate | I open the terminal and type "Metacity &" to get back my icons to close the windows and such, and then I close the terminal window, and it all goes away. | 19:14 |
| Intelligitimate | Now I can't type in the terminal window when I open it. | 19:14 |
| Intelligitimate | Or any window. | 19:14 |
| LetoII | nohup metacity & | 19:15 |
| stefg | askand: in general you'll run into flash, wine and codec issues with 64bit, and will have to set up a 32bit lib environment to be able to use them.... possible but a bit complicated | 19:15 |
| Intelligitimate | Eh? | 19:15 |
| soundray | stefg: that is not true with gutsy anymore -- you can install an ia32 environment and flash, wine, codecs, skype and Adobe Reader will be fine | 19:17 |
| Intelligitimate | I can no longer type anything, everthing is interpreted as referring back to the desktop. | 19:17 |
| Intelligitimate | I can | 19:17 |
| askand | stefg: yes, that would be the cons..wwhat is the pros? :) | 19:17 |
| soundray | stefg: not complicated at all | 19:17 |
| Intelligitimate | How do I fix Metacity? | 19:18 |
| stefg | askand: see soundray, he obviously has newer experience with that than me... | 19:18 |
| soundray | askand: 64bit supports more RAM and is a bit faster, especially when it comes to numbercrunching and memory I/O intensive apps, such as video encoding | 19:18 |
| stefg | askand: you can have loads of Ram and actually use the full speed of your system in 64 bit ... | 19:19 |
| coldfusion | soundray: so do you recommend installing the 64 bit version of Hoary (if your system is capable)? | 19:19 |

| stefg | coldfusion: Hoary != hardy :-) | 19:20 |
| coldfusion | heh ma bad | 19:20 |
| soundray | coldfusion: no, I won't recommend installing hardy before it's released. But once it's out, I don't foresee any problems with 64bits | 19:20 |

| tuna | unstable: what did you mean? do you want them to run at regular intervals? if so, look up anacron | 19:58 |
| danand | balle - you need to be a little more specific... what kind of soundcard do you have? ie Make/Model internal/external etc ... Check the output of lspci (PCI card) or lsusb (external USB) to see if your soundcard is listed | 19:58 |
| brian_ | bod_:It's own drive, not just partition | 19:58 |
| Kliment | !cron | 19:58 |
| taza | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/149260 <--- I seem to be suffering from that bug. It's killing a very important software. | 19:58 |
| keit1 | Kliment: yeah I had field-experience with some on the ground | 19:58 |
| bod_ | brian_, no it wouldnt benefit,. (i would of thouht the opposite) i will help if i can | 19:58 |
| ubotu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 19:59 |
| balle | bod_: i only know that i have 1 sound card, the other must be an onboard | 19:59 |
| bluefoxx | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61837/ >good or bad and what does it mean to me. also, is it jsut me using firefox3 beta that the text looks retarded to or what? | 19:59 |
| soundray | Toznoshio: that's hard to answer without knowing the bottlenecks in your system | 19:59 |
| bod_ | balle, in terminal type lspci and pastebin the output | 19:59 |
| brian_ | bod_: Ah, ok, thanks :D (:S I woulda thought it made sense it would benefit. It's kinda like RAM on the hard drive, isn't it? So if it's on a seperate hard drive, it won't be slowed by other read/write stuff. Or I completely missunderstood what it did xP) | 19:59 |
| solexious | soundray: what was the ppt to dvd burning program again, i dont get a burning wissard :s | 20:00 |
| Toznoshio | soundray: It takes a while for the menus to show up when I click on them | 20:00 |
| tuna | Toznoshio: profile the boot, install preload and turn off access times | 20:00 |
| bod_ | brian_, but it still has to make contact with a seperate disk,.,. i wouldnt know how to confiure a swap partition for an os on a diff hd ;~) | 20:00 |
| balle | bod_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6336/ | 20:00 |
| Kliment | bluefoxx: it's their brilliant april fools joke | 20:00 |
| soundray | solexious: go through Places-CD/DVD Creator | 20:01 |
| bluefoxx | Kliment: ah. | 20:01 |
| taza | How do I upgrade into a driver later than what ubuntu offers for intel cards? | 20:01 |
| bod_ | balle, i think ICH6 is your soundcard ( a Intel corporation card?) | 20:01 |
| taza | The current repo drivers have a significant bug which causes very important applications to crash. | 20:01 |
| Toznoshio | tuna: I know how to do #2 and #3, but how do I profile the boot? | 20:01 |
| brian_ | bod_: Ah, ok :) I figured that you would just put the partition on the other hard drive, but I don't really know anything about linux :P | 20:02 |
| soundray | Toznoshio: perhaps turn off desktop effects if you have them on | 20:02 |
| keit1 | taza: dl the source and compile it yourself | 20:02 |
| bod_ | brian_, i dont know if it would work.,.,. might do ;~) | 20:02 |
| soundray | keit1: for a video driver? | 20:02 |
| taza | keit1: Thanks. You're really helpful. Really, good work. How can I ever repay you for that stellar advice? | 20:02 |
| solexious | soundray: got that up, how do i make the dvd so the slideshow plays? | 20:02 |
| keit1 | taza: be sure to know what you are doing and backup important system files | 20:02 |
| unstable | tuna / bod_, no I mean where should i have them start from? cron? a bash script? what? | 20:02 |
| startgame412 | why is hardy going to be delayed for 3 months? | 20:02 |
| taza | startgame412: Today is april 1st. | 20:03 |
| tuna | Toznoshio: when booting, enter grub and add profile to kernel command line. That boot, it will be abysmally slow, but it will be faster on subsequent boots | 20:03 |
| balle | bod_ : sounds right, how do i use it? it makes sense that i can play sounds on my labtop speakers with the onboard soundcard, but not get anything out of it right? | 20:03 |
| keit1 | taza: well if you wanna lay on the sarcasm then go figure it out yourself | 20:03 |
| brian_ | bod_: Nah, not worth the hassle :) It's fast enough as is :P | 20:03 |
| tuna | unstable: cron. | 20:03 |
| taza | keit1: I was asking here in case someone knows. | 20:03 |
| balle | bod_: so... how do i make the sound go through the sound card? | 20:03 |
| keit1 | taza: that is the answer | 20:03 |
| brian_ | bod_: Booting... Thisll take a coupla minutes | 20:03 |
| taza | it's fixed in hardy anyway, but I can't reinstall. ;_; | 20:03 |
| pirata | thinkpad x60 user here? | 20:03 |
| keit1 | taza: what more do you want??? me to compile it for you? | 20:04 |
| taza | pirata: Intel graphics card problem? | 20:04 |
| pirata | no | 20:04 |
| pirata | just only talk about it | 20:04 |
| bod_ | balle, when there is more then 1 sound device the system can et confused, we have to tell it to be unconfused,.,. so in terminal type asoundconf -set-default-card ICH6 | 20:04 |
| Toznoshio | soundray, tuna: OK, thanks for the help | 20:04 |
| pirata | why? do you have problems taza ? | 20:04 |
| taza | pirata: Well, the graphics card drivers are broken before Hardy for one. :P | 20:04 |
| dimitree | In need of web conferencing solution with app/dekstop sharing and Voip for free online school :) or something like that ;) can someone help ? | 20:04 |
| taza | pirata: I have a graphics card very similiar, and I've been having trouble with random crashing. | 20:04 |
| bod_ | balle, actually, this command asoundconf set-default-card ICH6 | 20:05 |
| pirata | taza, ubuntu 7.10 is working very well i think at my x69 | 20:05 |

| pirata | taza ah thats not good :-P | 20:05 |
| taza | pirata: Happens with opengl rendering | 20:05 |
| soundray | solexious: ppt files as exported from OpenOffice won't autoplay. For that you will have to use MS Powerpoint, sorry. Look at PDF export options for an alternative (use File-Export, then select file type PDF, don't use File-Export as PDF) | 20:05 |
| taza | It bugs randomly but repeatedly. | 20:05 |
| pirata | taza, ah ok | 20:05 |

| david49 | tonyrusso, whats universe? | 20:11 |
| brian_ | bod_: I'm confused though... I thought that the Windows partition used the WHOLE hard drive. So wouldn't any option get rid of Windows? Or does the first one actually resize the Windows partition WITHOUT messing it up? | 20:11 |
| gorbierd | danand thank you alot | 20:11 |
| balle | bod_: it aint running nothing as we speak | 20:11 |
| nbkr | cook, run the "top" command on the console and press "p" while it runs. | 20:11 |

| Zmine | papisexy I thought you did the password thing earlier today | 20:12 |
| tonyyarusso | david49: that was for the bot - a sec | 20:12 |
| bod_ | brian_, takes the free space away from windows and then gives it to ubuntu,.,. windows partitions the whole drive but doesnt use it all | 20:12 |
| bod_ | balle, no sound then? | 20:12 |

| brian_ | bod_: 1280mb | 20:14 |
| keit1 | taza; the link to intel's driver site is here http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-023086.htm it includes the driver for linux for your system but there are different chipset under the GMA900 guise as far as I can tell. you should only do continue with compiling if you have a complete backup of all system files edited and all important data - plus a livecd to hand too. hope this helps ;) | 20:14 |
| soundray | solexious: why not try the PDF export? In the options dialog, you can set it up to display full-screen on load. If you saved your presentation with automatic transition, the PDF should auto-progress as well. | 20:15 |
| nbkr | david49, The "universe" is a software repository. Something like a great software store. You have to activate that source for your system so the apt tools are abel to use it. | 20:15 |
| brian_ | bod_:one 256mb, and one 1024mb | 20:15 |

| what_the_deuce | Hi there. I was wondering if anyone could help me set up a connection share between this Ubuntu box and an xbox 360, via Firestarter? | 20:22 |
| papisexy | #winehq | 20:22 |
| gorbierd | upon__ otherwise they copies in strange order and i can't listen them fine | 20:22 |
| bod_ | papisexy, type /j #winehq | 20:22 |
| Achoth | unop__: Thanks :) | 20:22 |
| nbkr | cook, how old is the drive? | 20:22 |
| CDOG | Anyone know where the logfile that contains all the ubuntu user logins is located? Thanks | 20:22 |
| gorbierd | unop__ yes i need to copy file in alphabetical order to my flash-mp3 player | 20:23 |
| cook | nbkr, about three years | 20:23 |
| FFForever | how come everytime i add files to my thumbdrive they end up corrupt when i open them on windows???????? | 20:23 |
| gorbierd | unop__ otherwise they copies in strange order and i can't listen them fine | 20:23 |
| FFForever | and yes i do eject them correctly.... | 20:23 |
| Odd-rationale | FFForever: do they have any odd characters that windows doesn't like? | 20:23 |
| mango | Hi, I have a query. When apt finds that updates are available, it downloads packages using *sockets* or pass the url to some another package? | 20:23 |
| gorbierd | unop__ is there way to sort find output? | 20:23 |
| unop__ | gorbierd, ok well, this then. find /path -print0 | sort | xargs -0 cp -t /path/to/newdir | 20:23 |
| FFForever | nope | 20:23 |
| Odd-rationale | FFForever: or does the parent folder have any odd characters? | 20:23 |
| gorbierd | unop_ bravo! thank you) | 20:23 |
| FFForever | nope, i am putting them on my root | 20:23 |
| unop__ | gorbierd, although i'm not sure how well that will handle filenames with weird characters, but do give it a try | 20:24 |
| Odd-rationale | FFForever: is it formated fat32? | 20:24 |
| kane77 | has anyone tried installing adobe air? | 20:24 |
| CDOG | Anyone know where the logfile that contains all the ubuntu user logins is located? Thanks | 20:24 |
| Starnestommy | mango: I think it's built-in | 20:24 |
| SaschaRed | I am beta testing 8.04, and an update just switched out my theme to the 7.10 theme | 20:24 |
| FFForever | yeah fat32 | 20:24 |
| SaschaRed | why? | 20:24 |
| soundray | mango: it uses wget | 20:24 |
| Odd-rationale | SaschaRed: hardy discussion is #ubuntu+1 | 20:24 |
| tmetro | After upgrading to 7.10 I'm having a problem where several daemons aren't starting after a boot, such as postfix, samba. For example, the samba log says "Errors when creating subnets: No local interfaces". Once the boot is complete, manually starting the daemons works fine. Seems the network interface is coming up late. | 20:25 |
| Ktron | So, in FC, output of cron jobs is mailed to root. Is there a way to get the stdout of a cron job in Ubuntu? | 20:25 |
| rshank | thanks SaschaRed | 20:25 |
| mango | soungray: Could you please provide me few links, where exactly I can see the code of this part? | 20:25 |
| rmiloh | using gutsy sever: is it standard to add ip's of break-in attempts (from the auth.log) to hosts.deny, or should I implement some other security, or ignore? | 20:25 |
| Starnestommy | CDOG: it might be /var/log/auth.log | 20:25 |
| gorbierd | unop__ i just tryed it works fine! | 20:25 |
| cook | nbkr, and now? | 20:26 |
| rmiloh | CDOG: i don't think its auth.log | 20:26 |
| soundray | mango: oops, I had assumed that it did -- now I'm not so sure. What's the problem? | 20:26 |
| brian_ | Hey guys? I'm TRYING to set up a computer to dual boot WinXP and Ubuntu 7.10... But when I go to partition it, the "Guided - resize blahblahblah" seems to be wrong... It says its trying to change SCSI1(sda), but I'm just using a normal IDE hard drive. | 20:26 |
| nbkr | cook, Well you could activate smart for the drive, but I'm not sure if this is a safe operation. I haven't had any problems with it, but I wouldn't recommend it without knowing the hardware. | 20:26 |
| Odd-rationale | FFForever: oh sorry. I didn't see your post. umm what kind of file ist it? | 20:26 |
| FFForever | exe | 20:27 |
| cook | nbkr, but what could that be, i mean my load is higher than 3 or 2 and can this real be the hard drive? | 20:27 |
| mango | soundray: Just wanted to know about this thing but couldn't find any good links. :( | 20:27 |
| falken_ | has anyone else set up their wifi account at books-a-million? The guy there only knew how to do it from windows. | 20:27 |
| Odd-rationale | FFForever: hmm. I don't know. I'm out of ideas. sorry. | 20:28 |
| mango | Starnestommy: Built -in in the sense? It uses sockets to make connections? | 20:28 |
| falken_ | i got a steady connection but couldn't download anything | 20:28 |
| === dusty- is now known as dusty | ||
| FFForever | yeah i tried to fix it my self... i don't wanna reinstall lol | 20:28 |
| nbkr | cook, I wouldn't think so, but if there isn't any process that causes the load. Hm, another idea - maybe there is rootkit on your PC. Did you run "chkrootkit" ? | 20:28 |
| soundray | mango: if you search again, remember to include Debian resources, as apt is something that was inherited from Debian. | 20:28 |
| FFForever | if i reinstall hal think it would help? | 20:28 |
| FFForever | or gnome? | 20:28 |
| Odd-rationale | FFForever: it mounts fine? doesn;t it? | 20:29 |
| mango | soundray: Oh, Yeah. I forgot. Thanks, let me try again. :) | 20:29 |
| WinterWeaver | cannot install anything with apt... is there a problem with the Ubuntu repo servers? | 20:29 |
| brian_ | Hey guys, for some reason when I try to install Ubuntu, it lists my IDE hard drive as SCSI, or sda, and whenever I go to change any partitions, it gets an error and can't do it. What's wrong? | 20:30 |
| Odd-rationale | WinterWeaver: try a "sudo apt-get update" ? | 20:30 |
| slash | can anyone see if this number works for them? 989-272-7425 | 20:30 |
| thoreauputic_ | WinterWeaver: try a different mirror | 20:30 |
| FFForever | yeah mounts fine, but screw up the writing? | 20:30 |
| cook | nbkr, i think where should i have got the rootkit? i dont load any warez or cracks etc | 20:30 |
| thoreauputic_ | brian_: yes, IDE hard drives are mostly identified as sda etc now - that part is normal | 20:31 |
| === Cc2iscooL is now known as Cc2iscooL_ | ||
| WinterWeaver | odd-rationale: done that... I get lots of "unable to connect errors" | 20:31 |
| tonyyarusso | w/in 5 | 20:31 |
| === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL | ||
| Odd-rationale | WinterWeaver: then maybe it is your mirror... | 20:31 |
| thoreauputic_ | WinterWeaver: go to admin - software sources and choose a different mirror | 20:32 |
| brian_ | thoreauputic: :( Any idea why I can't edit any partitions on it then? Trying to dual boot. | 20:32 |
| === slash is now known as t0rpid | ||
| WinterWeaver | kk thanks | 20:32 |
| gmenelau | i have problem with the microphone | 20:32 |
| thoreauputic_ | brian_: did you unmount the partitions before fooling with them? | 20:32 |
| blaisepascal | does anyone know where I can find libqt4-plugin-odbc | 20:32 |
| brian_ | thoreauputic: I'm in the LiveCD | 20:32 |
| nbkr | cook, was just an idea. A rootkit would prevent htop to show the process. | 20:32 |
| thoreauputic_ | brian_: usually you edit partitons from a live CD for that reason | 20:32 |
| cook | nbkr, but chkrootkit didnt find anything | 20:32 |
| gmenelau | someone for help? | 20:32 |
| sotap | hardy being delayed 3 months = April Fools? | 20:33 |
| thoreauputic_ | brian_: unmount the partitions then | 20:33 |
| thoreauputic_ | brian_: begore editing them | 20:33 |
| thoreauputic_ | *before | 20:33 |
| WinterWeaver | odd-rationale, thoreauputic : Thanks, that helped | 20:33 |
| brian_ | thoreauputic: How do I do that? >.< I'm still pretty new to linux | 20:33 |
| billy____ | is there anything wrong with running 32-bit ubuntu on a 64bit machine? | 20:33 |
| sotap | billy____: not at all | 20:33 |
| billy____ | will it solve any problems with my bcm4311 wireless card? cuz i can't seem to get it working in the 64 bit ubuntu | 20:34 |
| sotap | billy____: I'm not sure, it's possible | 20:35 |
| alan_m | billy____, you would have to try that out for yourself, it MIGHT but no promises here. | 20:35 |
| soundray | billy____: they are difficult beasts. It may be worth a try, but don't get your hopes up. | 20:35 |
| gmenelau | i cant record from the built in microphone of my laptop any help? | 20:35 |
| sidelil | excuse me, is it possible to set up a persistent live USB (as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent) on a memory card? Is there something to pay attention on, in particular during the partitioning process? | 20:35 |
| ceschneider | hi... I just installed 7.10 but my Xorg is eating my processor :S | 20:35 |
| soundray | !broadcom | billy____, have you seen this help | 20:35 |
| ubotu | billy____, have you seen this help: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 20:35 |
| alan_m | sidelil, sure, but it would be incredibly slow. | 20:35 |
| billy____ | soundray: yea ive been working on this comp seriously for about 2 months to no avail, ive tried the resident drivers as well as ndiswrapper | 20:36 |
| ceschneider | more than 50% all the time | 20:36 |
| billy____ | soundray yes ive seen it a million times | 20:36 |
| sidelil | alan_m, why? | 20:36 |
| soundray | billy____: sometimes it's easier to swap the wireless card for one that works, ie. Intel | 20:36 |
| billy____ | soundray: no denero, i gotta work with wut i have already | 20:36 |
| alan_m | memory card slots seem to be slow, i have no clue why, the data transfer rate im guessing...and their not typically designed for programs and things of that nature. | 20:37 |
| brian_ | How do I unmount partitions when I'm in the LiveCD? Ubuntu 7.10 | 20:37 |
| sidelil | alan_m, ok, thanks! | 20:37 |
| soundray | billy____: it's cheaper than you may think, though | 20:37 |
| billy____ | wuts a wireless-b ethernet bridge? | 20:38 |
| billy____ | soundray: i seriously have like 10 cents to my name, and no job | 20:38 |
| billy____ | im 17 and live with my mom lol | 20:38 |
| alan_m | billy____, know the feeling...19 and same issue. | 20:38 |
| ceschneider | why my org is consuming more than 50% of my procesor? | 20:39 |
| ceschneider | any tip? | 20:39 |
| ceschneider | * y Xorg | 20:39 |
| nick_ | hi all - can anyone help me with a vpn route - I have setup a vpn connection which has connected but i cant get to an exact machine because my connection attempt is going via the net rather than the vpn connection - can anyone help | 20:39 |
| ceschneider | ops.. my Xorg | 20:39 |
| sinak | hi. when i boot kubuntu my monitor goes to power saving mode | 20:39 |
| sinak | and I can't' see anything | 20:40 |
| sotap | ceschneider: do you have compiz enabled? | 20:40 |
| soundray | billy____: a bridge is a device that connects two networks -- useful e.g. for connecting a wired ethernet device to a wireless network | 20:40 |
| sinak | the hard drive seems to work | 20:40 |
| soundray | billy____: b refers to the old 11 MBit/s standard | 20:40 |
| billy____ | soundray: so i could use it to connect my laptop to my wireless network? | 20:41 |
| alan_m | !kubuntu | sinak | 20:41 |
| ubotu | sinak: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 20:41 |
| sinak | I know what kubuntu is | 20:41 |
| alan_m | im telling you, you might get more help over there than here. | 20:41 |
| sinak | it's not a kubuntu problem | 20:42 |
| ceschneider | sotap: yes.. how can I disable that/ | 20:42 |
| soundray | billy____: if you have one already, probably yes. Buying a bridge is more expensive than buying a card that works | 20:42 |
| billy____ | soundray: yeah i have the bridge right here | 20:42 |
| billy____ | soundray: any idea how i hook it up? | 20:42 |
| sotap | ceschneider: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects, set to none | 20:42 |
| soundray | billy____: no. Is there no manual? | 20:43 |
| billy____ | nope.. its a second hand linksys one that my buddy let me borrow, but i haven't seen him in yrs so ya lol | 20:43 |
| ceschneider | sometimes my firefox also consumes lots of processor | 20:43 |
| ceschneider | what could be? | 20:43 |
| soundray | billy____: linksys have manuals on their web site, at least for some devices | 20:44 |
| sotap | ceschneider: it could be flash | 20:44 |
| krey_ | i having the same situation like ceschider | 20:44 |
| sarah___ | hey guys, what works better with ubuntu, Intel/AMd and Nvidia/ATI? | 20:44 |
| sotap | ceschneider: did disabling compiz solve the xorg problem? | 20:45 |
| LinTux | I have installed a packet radio program and it is asking for the address of the sound card it is using / something, any ideas? | 20:45 |
| soundray | billy____: but try to set your Ethernet up with a static address, 192.168.1.2 and try to connect to 192.168.1.1 with a browser | 20:45 |
| [FT]alex | ati drivers have issues with compiz and opengl, I think | 20:45 |
| billy____ | soundray: yea.. i figured, just hopin that someone might have some experience with it in linux before, considering pretty much no companies support linux for one reason or another | 20:45 |
| sotap | sarah___: Intel and Nvidia | 20:45 |
| ie72 | sarah___: navidia/intel works for me | 20:45 |
| ceschneider | sotap: nop.. still with high load | 20:45 |
| soundray | billy____: that's not an accurate statement -- there are plenty of companies that support Linux now in one way or another. | 20:47 |
| ie72 | *nvidia | 20:47 |
| sotap | ceschneider: it persists when you restart? | 20:47 |
| billy____ | soundray: well broadcom definately aint one of 'em lol | 20:47 |
| soundray | billy____: and few are as extreme in their non-support as Broadcom | 20:47 |
| noname6474 | Hello all, | 20:48 |
| noname6474 | Does ubuntu work *well* on a new Macbook Pro with Core2 Duo? | 20:48 |
| ceschneider | sotap: I just disabled the visual effects. may I restart xorg too? | 20:48 |
| Ktron | So, in FC, output of cron jobs is mailed to root. Is there a way to get the stdout of a cron job in Ubuntu? | 20:49 |
| billy____ | why is bcm so retarded about open sourcing? | 20:49 |
| Ktron | /var/log/syslog only has what it ran, not the program's stdout/stderr | 20:49 |
| sotap | ceschneider: it's worth a try | 20:49 |
| nick_ | can anyone advise how to use route to add a route to an address via ppp0 i cant get the command correct | 20:49 |
| ceschneider | sotap: ok... brb | 20:50 |
| Ktron | nick_, route add -net <IP> <MASK> dev ppp0 | 20:50 |
| soundray | billy____: I don't think that's something we can answer, but their press office may | 20:50 |
| unop__ | nick_, or - route add -host <ip> dev ppp0 | 20:50 |
| billy____ | yeah.. tru dat.. | 20:50 |

| third | how do i start it | 20:53 |
| Ktron | unop__, it was kind of nice having the log automatically fragmented, dated, indexed/etc with mail; now I either need to write code to make logs with timestamps in their name, or have one huge log | 20:53 |
| nick_ | ktron and unop_ thanks for your help | 20:53 |

| |Dede| | Will Ubuntu 8 have NTFS drivers? So we're able to edit NTFS files? | 20:56 |
| alan_m | sorry for the flood with ubotu. | 20:56 |

| pipE|carnal | #aijoara | 21:16 |
| sluimers | I have it installed kazol_ , so probably that's what I have done | 21:16 |
| SEJeff | linuxmonger, NIS uses the Domainname as a secret. Security through obscurity is proven insecure | 21:16 |
| kazol_ | ok | 21:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kazol_: why do you ask? | 21:16 |
| SEJeff | linuxmonger, NIS+ is secure, but pita to setup. LDAP is secure, easy to setup, easy to manage, and supports Unix / Linux | 21:16 |
| DRebellion | billy____, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port | 21:17 |
| kazol_ | Pirate_Hunter: Just curious, because of your nick. | 21:17 |
| soulreaper | ccsm is compizconfig settings manager right | 21:17 |
| SEJeff | linuxmonger, NIS is not secure by design | 21:17 |
| kazol_ | Pirate_Hunter: It sounds as if you're affiliated with the RIAA/MPAA/BSA/etc. | 21:17 |
| frederic | hello again. I'm looking for a program that tells me what kind of "codec" is used into a video ... where could I find that ? thanks | 21:17 |
| billy____ | wuts the port on a wireless bridge if the ip is 198.162.1.255? | 21:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kazol_: :D you remind me of someone i had a conversation about this it had to do with the same thing | 21:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kazol_: yup | 21:17 |
| DRebellion | frederic, 'file' command on *nix | 21:18 |
| MountainX | How much harder is Kerberos than LDAP? Just curious? | 21:18 |
| SEJeff | MountainX, a ton | 21:18 |
| SEJeff | MountainX, Kerberos is single signon for enterprises. It is also a bear to setup and maintain the proper PKI infrastructure unless you use something really expensive like RSA | 21:19 |
| alan_m | brb showah!!!! | 21:19 |
| kazol_ | Pirate_Hunter: I wonder what relative proportion of *nix users pirate copyrighted software/music/etc.... | 21:19 |
| Ceilingpaint | im not going away guys, lol. how do i get compiz-fusion to work when i enable desktop effects? im using nvidia driver, 64 bit fiesty | 21:19 |
| ChaosTheory | It seems I can't get Youtube to work. . . | 21:19 |
| frederic | DRebellion: thanks. now, how may I "translate" into something like .avi file ? (is .avi = "uncoded" ?) | 21:20 |
| ChaosTheory | It says I have the "Macromedia flash plugin" in the add/remove. | 21:20 |
| MountainX | SEJeff: OK, thx. I'll go with OpenLDAP. Does it make the local passwd and group files obsolete? Would it still help to start off with the same UID and GID for the same usernames? | 21:20 |
| SEJeff | Ceilingpaint, Try using gutsy | 21:20 |
| DRebellion | frederic, i'm not sure what you mean | 21:20 |
| Ceilingpaint | how do i use gutsy? | 21:20 |
| soulreaper | ok i installed ccsm where do i go to find it on my desk top? | 21:20 |
| SEJeff | MountainX, Well you can configure it to use ldap and then /etc/{passwd,group} if the ldap server is unavailable by changing a line in /etc/nsswitch.conf | 21:20 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - it is under system preferences menu | 21:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kazol_: give it a rest and you would be suprised how many pirated software their is for *nix you just have to search but than thats illegal | 21:21 |
| SEJeff | MountainX, Too bad Ubuntu doesn't have an app like authconfig in fedora. You run 1 command and it sets up ldap clients | 21:21 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - it is called advanced desktop effects settings | 21:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | well after that im gone to install hardy | 21:21 |
| Exteris | Pirate_Hunter, cedega? | 21:21 |
| jake2point0 | how would i go about getting new sound event sets downloaded. | 21:21 |
| soulreaper | ok im there | 21:21 |

| sanguisdex | is therre a browser based program for screen shareing that will work under linux? | 21:22 |

| MountainX | soul reaper - under general settings top desktop settings tab and set horizontal virtual size to 4 | 21:22 |
| peter77 | Pirate_Hunter, I just downgraded from hardy | 21:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Exteris: cedega is one once cracked, vmware is another but in true reality they are hard to find kazol_ your such a naughty person... were you expecting me to say something like im going to track you down and arrest you? | 21:22 |
| MountainX | soulreaper then turn on the desktop cube under "desktop" section on main page | 21:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peter77: how come you downgraded? | 21:23 |
| frederic | DRebellion: actually my video has a xvid. I need to change it (remove a part of the video). I used kino but it couldn't help me (couldn't read the entire video, froze, lost sound). I'd like first to "translate" xvid to normal avi file so I could work on it. (am I clear ?) | 21:23 |
| peter77 | Pirate_Hunter, I'm staying the my nice fast booting perfectly operational gutsy | 21:23 |
| DRebellion | frederic, wouldn't it be easier to simply use some different video editing software? | 21:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peter77 i tested hardy on vbox and it was bad also the features look quite good and its going to be released in 22 days from now | 21:24 |
| kazol_ | Pirate_Hunter: I was just joking around...your nick was interesting. | 21:24 |
| FalcUbuntu | is there a relatively easy way to transfer a /home to a new hard drive if the drive it is on is dying? | 21:24 |
| ampex | if I nice a shell script, will all processes that shell script calls also be niced? | 21:24 |
| soulreaper | how do i set set 4 virtual desktops | 21:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kazol_: :) | 21:24 |
| frederic | DRebellion: find me a good one, I'll try ;) kino is the onliest everyone talked me about | 21:24 |
| DRebellion | frederic, try some googling | 21:24 |
| peter77 | Pirate_Hunter, its good, just I need a good stable OS especially as I've got coursework due and can't afford an unstable faulty beta | 21:24 |
| DRebellion | FalcUbuntu, copy and paste? | 21:24 |
| gmenelau | i cant record from the built in microphone of my laptop any help? | 21:24 |
| Jowi | FalcUbuntu, yes, it is not very hard. But some precautions should be taken. The new home partition should have the same filesystem in order to keep the correct permissions in case you want to copy the old home over to it. If you can't copy the old home due to corruption you should recreate the home dirs with the correct user and group rights (see /etc/passwd). after that is done you should add the new home | 21:24 |
| Jowi | partition to /etc/fstab | 21:24 |
| MountainX | SEJeff - OK, I'll still start by syncing up my local password and group files so same users have have GID and UID on each machine. What is the best way to do that? Can I just copy one file to all machines? Will that screw up my logins? | 21:25 |
| linuxmonger | FalcUbuntu: Put the new drive in a second macine and use rsync - but don't shut down the old drive if you can avoid it. | 21:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peter77: what was unstable about it and im guessing you have got a second os such as m$ or osx | 21:25 |
| FalcUbuntu | prob is that when i try to log in, it won't let me, the drive is getting pretty bad i guess, i can read it over a forensic cable tho | 21:25 |
| danand | FalcUbuntu - attach your new drive and copy and paste within gparted is another option ... | 21:25 |
| soulreaper | hay where do i set 4 virtual desktops in compiz setting manager? | 21:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone post a link on how to install home to a different directory | 21:25 |
| DRebellion | FalcUbuntu, you should make a backup as quickly as possible then, i would use dd | 21:26 |
| FalcUbuntu | so maybe boot to a live cd? | 21:26 |
| FalcUbuntu | kk | 21:26 |
| JoeLinux117 | @soulreaper: In CCSM, go to General Options --> Desktop Size | 21:26 |
| MountainX | soulreaper-scroll up. I typed it earlier. | 21:26 |
| Jowi | FalcUbuntu, if you can copy the old /home to the new partition you should be all set and then simply add the new partition as /home in /etc/fstab | 21:26 |
| peter77 | Pirate_Hunter both and no doubt you're a linux zealot vomitting free software and open source ethics all over the computer community? | 21:26 |
| amenado | Pirate_Hunter-> is your home directory on a separate partition? | 21:26 |
| martianlobster | is there a howto somewhere which describes how to recompile the kernel? | 21:26 |
| frederic | DRebellion: well, already done in fact. will try again. hope to be lucky :) | 21:26 |
| MountainX | soul reaper - under general settings top desktop settings tab and set horizontal virtual size to 4 | 21:27 |
| FalcUbuntu | one more question about the HDD, my laptop died b/c of the docking the heads problem, is it possible that that happened with the desktop drive too? | 21:27 |
| amenado | FalcUbuntu-> is your new partition mounted yet? | 21:27 |
| FalcUbuntu | amenado: no, don't have one yet, planning my next step first, prolly a trip to best buy | 21:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peter77: o_0 no comment but yeah you didnt answer my question | 21:28 |
| soulreaper | ok so i set horizontal virtual size to 4 and number of desk tops to 4? | 21:28 |
| amenado | FalcUbuntu-> go now, the store close in 10 minutes.. | 21:28 |
| jake2point0 | can anybody tell me if TeamFortress2 works 100% in linux? | 21:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | amenado: not at the moment but thinking about doing so since im going to do a clean install of hardy | 21:28 |
| MountainX | let's say I do want my UID and GID for each user to be the same on each of my half dozen machines. How do I copy or sync the files manually without screwing things up? | 21:28 |
| peter77 | Pirate_Hunter, hardy is good and I'm impressed but I experienced a few problems which were counter productive and it was in my own best interest to stick with gutsy until the final release of hardy and yes I use Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows XP | 21:29 |
| kinnune | argh | 21:29 |
| FalcUbuntu | alright folks, thanks | 21:30 |
| amenado | MountainX-> 1st is make sure each of the host does have your uid and gid same? | 21:30 |
| FalcUbuntu | off to best buy | 21:30 |
| linuxmonger | MountainX: You can use awk to just get the logins with UID > 999 and > say 10,000 | 21:30 |
| jake2point0 | poor you FalcUbuntu | 21:30 |
| MountainX | I am in admin group on each computer, but admin group is GID 114 on one machine and GID 110 on the other | 21:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peter77: ok understood | 21:31 |
| linuxmonger | MountainX: Then do a chown -ARE on each directory in home if you've changed any of the UIDS. | 21:31 |
| amenado | MountainX-> and make sure those users are not logged on at the moment you are doing this conversion? | 21:32 |
| linuxmonger | MountnX: My text replacement kicked in, that was supposer to be a single character -are- | 21:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Is there soemthing better than JFs filesystem (excl ext2/3 7 reseirfs), better what is the best file system in speed and reliability as well as defragmentation? | 21:32 |
| soulreaper | how do i rotate the cube? | 21:33 |
| Odd-rationale | soulreaper: ctrl+alt+left/right | 21:33 |
| Odd-rationale | soulreaper: or ctrl+alt+[click and hold left mouse button and move mouse around] | 21:33 |
| MountainX | linuxmonger - thx but I am confused. If I currently have admin GID's of 110, 113, 114 etc. on the different machines, what is the safest, best way to make those all the same? | 21:33 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | hello | 21:35 |

| UnSuNgLoSeR | help required | 21:36 |
| Nineaxis | Me too | 21:36 |
| linuxmonger | MountainX: Dunno, personally, I'd not have anybody in the admin group, but that may not be possible - and there are three files at least that you need to look at, /etc/{shadow,passwd,group} | 21:36 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, you have to ask a real question. I've told you this already. But I've investigated while you were gone, and might have a solution for you. | 21:36 |
| genii | It's usually better to just state what the problem is | 21:36 |
| phil__ | Hi! Is it possible to add subtitles (.srt format) in copying DVD Video in Ubuntu? | 21:36 |
| soulreaper | it ses i have 2 desktops | 21:36 |
| Nineaxis | Anyone know why a server might not be booting from the ubuntu server disk on startup? | 21:36 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | XiXaQ yeah wat do u have for me? | 21:36 |
| wildman | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb gives me /dev/sdb does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. any ideas? I'm trying to install grub on a 2nd hdd to make it bootable after transferring my whole system (from 1st disk) to it | 21:37 |
| MountainX | I can get all three files from each machine. I can also edit them. But I don't know what will happen after I change the admin GID. I'd rather find out before I try :) | 21:37 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, first, install kppp. | 21:37 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | whatever that is? | 21:37 |
| Jowi | UnSuNgLoSeR, ask a precise question. the more info you give the better your chances are to get an answer. | 21:37 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, it's an application used for connecting to dialup networks. | 21:37 |
| |Dede| | when is the hardy release date? | 21:37 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - did you set horiz virtual size to 4? | 21:38 |
| linuxmonger | MountainX: Make a backup, give it a try, worst is a need to reboot in single-user. | 21:38 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | i dont known how to install stuff on ubuntu | 21:38 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Is the BIOS configured to boot from CD automatically? | 21:38 |
| Nineaxis | Yep | 21:38 |
| Starnestommy | |Dede|: I think it's April 24 | 21:38 |
| XiXaQ | Jowi, actually, that was my fault. He asked in another channel on another network. The problem is connecting to the internet using HSUPA (3G) | 21:38 |
| Nineaxis | But it keeps booting fedora from the hard drive | 21:38 |
| MountainX | hardy release around april 24 i think | 21:38 |
| wildman | UnSuNgLoSeR,: sudo apt-get install package_name, run from a command line, will do | 21:38 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, Applications > Add/Remove. | 21:38 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Is the CD-ROM configured to boot before the hard drive? | 21:38 |
| MountainX | why not try hardy beta now? | 21:38 |
| Nineaxis | Yes | 21:38 |
| wildman | UnSuNgLoSeR, or you can use the corresponding add/remove entry in the menu | 21:38 |
| Jowi | XiXaQ, ah :) | 21:38 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Also, is the system detecting the CD-ROM? | 21:39 |

| wildman | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb gives me /dev/sdb does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. any ideas? I'm trying to install grub on a 2nd hdd to make it bootable after transferring my whole system (from 1st disk) to it and it seems I'm not able to correctly spec the device | 21:39 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Once it's booted to the hard disk, check within Fedora to see if the CD-ROM drive is detected. | 21:39 |
| veco | Ola! I have a dcc pending. Any help? im using xchat | 21:39 |
| heyjoe02 | Hi, this might be off topic. Is there a way to view or edit p-frames in an mpeg file? I would like to manipulate every single frame, including the placement and data in p-frames. | 21:39 |
| Starnestommy | veco: /dcc get nickname | 21:40 |
| Nineaxis | @JoeLinux117 Sorry for being a linux n00b, but how do I go about doing that? | 21:40 |
| veco | Ola! I have a dcc pending. Any help? im using xchat. The issue revolves around downloading files from irc | 21:40 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | i tried to make it run by changing the dev address to /dev/ttyUSB0 but to no avail | 21:40 |
| veco | no such dcc offer | 21:40 |
| soulreaper | ya its set at 4 | 21:40 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | is huawei ets2551 supported by ubuntu 7.10? | 21:40 |
| Starnestommy | veco: regular xchat or xchat-gome? | 21:40 |
| veco | gnome | 21:40 |
| veco | should i download xchat2 and try again? | 21:40 |
| amenado | wildman-> on /dev/sdb which partition would you like /boot/grub to be on? | 21:41 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, I don't know. I'm fairly sure it won't automatically connect though. | 21:41 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | i checked it on the device manager | 21:41 |
| wildman | amenado, tried /dev/sdb1 too to no avail (I'll try again now), /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /mnt BTW | 21:41 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | the status is connected | 21:41 |
| wildman | amenado, with /dev/sdb1 it's the same pb | 21:41 |
| ogre | anybody know what the heck that anarchism package is about? and how to run it to look for myself? | 21:42 |
| soulreaper | but i cant get it to rotate | 21:42 |
| mrkeishii | how do you use the Paint Fire | 21:42 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, you're connected to the modem, but has the modem logged into your internet providers network? | 21:42 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: It's OK! I forget the GUI method in Fedora (I believe there's a hardware manager, maybe someone using Fedora can confirm), but from the command-line you can type "sudo lshw | grep -A 15 cdrom", and look at the "logical name:" entries to see if your system has set the cdrom up. | 21:42 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | no it hasnt | 21:42 |
| amenado | wildman-> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb this doesnt seem to look right, try /boot instead of /mnt | 21:42 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, have you installed kppp yet? | 21:42 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: You should see something like, "logical name: /dev/dvd" | 21:43 |
| eracc | Anyone know why Hardy is delayed? Is there a URL that tells us why? | 21:43 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | it goes like TUSB 3140 boot device connected to usb port | 21:43 |
| veco | Starnestommy: xchat-gnome. On my laptop i have xchat2 i think, it works fine there out of the box | 21:43 |
| XiXaQ | eracc, is it delayed? | 21:43 |
| mrkeishii | I activated The Paint Fire on Desktop Effect, but how do you use it??? | 21:43 |
| JoeLinux117 | @eracc: April Fools | 21:43 |
| soulreaper | control + alt brings up a window like in windows xp when you alt tab and i can switch between desk 1 and desk 2 | 21:43 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | i already have the network utility up and running | 21:43 |
| eracc | Joeb454, ah, ok. :) | 21:43 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, kppp? | 21:43 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | do i still need kppp? | 21:43 |
| eracc | JoeLinux117, ah, ok. :) | 21:43 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | nay i am on winxp now | 21:44 |
| ceschneider | sotap: everything is runnig faster now... are there more options that I can disable to improve performace? | 21:44 |
| Joeb454 | eracc, wondered why you wanted me then, i've not said anything yet :P | 21:44 |
| mrkeishii | >>>I activated The Paint Fire on Desktop Effect, but how do you use it??? | 21:44 |
| soulreaper | do i have to restart my comp to use the cube | 21:44 |
| * eracc actually reads the topic XiXaQ ;) | 21:44 | |
| wildman | amenado, but it will install in sda's /boot, not in sdb's... | 21:44 |
| wildman | amenado, right? | 21:44 |
| amenado | wildman it should not | 21:44 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | and yeah one more question how do i access the ext2 file system from winxp? | 21:44 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, as I said before, I don't have any experience with this, but I'll tell you what I've been told. | 21:44 |
| ogre | mrkeishii: well thats more of a #compiz-fusion question but u use <Shift><Super>Button1 | 21:44 |
| wildman | amenado, ok =X | 21:44 |
| eracc | Joeb454, heh, tabbed nick completion got me again. :) | 21:44 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - no restart required | 21:44 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, www.fs-driver-org | 21:45 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - but you need 4 desktops, not 2 | 21:45 |
| Joeb454 | gets me alot too eracc | 21:45 |
| mrkeishii | wats Super Button | 21:45 |
| ogre | :/ | 21:45 |
| soulreaper | umm one sec | 21:45 |
| Nineaxis | @JoeLinux117 I see it, logical name: /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0 and /devsr0 | 21:45 |
| eracc | http://blog.eracc.com/2008/04/01/linux-and-foss-are-you-an-advocate-or-a-zealot/ | 21:45 |
| ogre | the button with the stupid windows logo on it | 21:45 |
| mrkeishii | oh okay | 21:45 |
| amenado | UnSuNgLoSeR-> get the driver for xp to support ext 2 filesystem | 21:45 |
| eracc | Ack! Wrong channel. Sorry. :( | 21:45 |
| mrkeishii | okay it works | 21:45 |
| mrkeishii | nice | 21:45 |
| mrkeishii | but how to disperse | 21:46 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Ok, this problem gets a little more complicated now. Are you sure that the CD is bootable (has it worked before)? | 21:46 |
| soulreaper | ok now its set to 4 desk tops | 21:46 |
| Pinchiukas | if I put a ubuntu livecd into the drive, can I test how well counter-strike: source plays? | 21:46 |
| linuxmonger | Still looking for a way to get a pretty window to pop up on a users desktop from a cron job or the command line (from ssh). Can anybody help? | 21:46 |
| Nineaxis | I just burned the file per instructions on the ubuntu website. | 21:46 |
| soulreaper | but in my bottem right it is has 2 | 21:46 |
| sotap | ceschneider: not that I can think of, but if performance is an issue, you might want to consider using xubuntu instead of ubuntu | 21:46 |
| mrkeishii | How do you remove it though? | 21:46 |
| ogre | mrkeishii: well thats more of a #compiz-fusion question but u use <Shift><Super>C but use #compiz-fusion channel for these questions | 21:46 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: It could be that the CD isn't bootable... that would explain the boot process skipping it. | 21:46 |
| mrkeishii | thanks | 21:46 |
| mrkeishii | ogre | 21:46 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Do you have K3b installed? | 21:47 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | XiXaQ dude i cant run ubuntu at extra graphics!whenever i try to switch to extra graphics, it gives an error message | 21:47 |
| soulreaper | i still cant get my cube to pop up | 21:47 |

| Nineaxis | before, so probably not | 21:47 |
| wildman | amenado, http://pastebin.com/d2d8623f1 has output, does this mean I can disconnect sda, connect sdb on sda's place and it will boot? | 21:47 |

| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 21:47 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: It has a very easy "Burn CD Image..." option, where once you've downloaded the .iso file from www.ubuntu.com, you can simply burn it using K3b. | 21:47 |
| JoeLinux117 | sudo yum install k3b | 21:47 |
| wildman | amenado, a.k.a: that it worked as expected :) | 21:47 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, that's probably because you haven't installed any drivers that supports 3d. But that's a completely different issue. Don't you think it would be wise to solve one problem at a time? | 21:48 |
| amenado | wildman it works as expected? | 21:48 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: I believe that should work ("sudo yum install k3b"). | 21:48 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - are you on ubuntu or kubuntu? If in ubuntu, you must see 4 desks in lower right before you can use cube | 21:48 |
| soulreaper | im in ubuntu | 21:48 |
| sotap | ceschneider: run: 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' then at the login screen select xfce session | 21:48 |
| soulreaper | and i dont see them | 21:48 |
| billybiculator | mountainx: how do you make 4 thinks appear in the bottom right? | 21:48 |
| soulreaper | i only see 2 | 21:48 |
| wildman | amenado, dunno, I've never had the need before to install grub to a different device until I bought this new bigger disk and wanted to transfer my whole Ubuntu system to it | 21:49 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | yeah right.its just that i want my ubuntu to up and running with no problems watsoever | 21:49 |
| Nineaxis | @JoeLinux117 I don't have a cd burner on my server and my desktop is Windows. | 21:49 |
| wildman | amenado, so, does the above paste look right? | 21:49 |
| billybiculator | unsungloser: what problems are u having? | 21:49 |
| soulreaper | is there a way to apply it when im in the compz window | 21:49 |
| wildman | amenado, "Installation finished. No error reported" gives me the impression it did... | 21:49 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, if you include the nickname of the person you're talking to, it's alot easier to notice your messages. | 21:49 |
| MountainX | using CCSM under general options get horizontal virtual size to 4 | 21:49 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: Ouch. Do you have access to a CD burner? Or anyone that can burn this for you? | 21:49 |
| amenado | wildman-> the paste looked good..now have an entry on your menu.lst to point to this new /dev/sdb to boot | 21:49 |
| wildman | amenado, but again... I'm a bit confuzed by specing root-directory to a place different than the place where sdb1 is mounted :) | 21:50 |
| billybiculator | mountainx: can you help me set up compiz frm scratch? ive don it before but i dont remember how lol | 21:50 |
| ceschneider | sotap: but I'll be able to run gnome when I want, right? | 21:50 |
| MountainX | soulreaper - there is no need to "apply" - the settings become effective | 21:50 |
| wildman | amenado, errr... shouldn't be needed, cuz sdb will become sda once properly reconnected | 21:50 |
| Nineaxis | @JoeLinux117 I have a CD burner on my desktop, the one I just used to burn the ubuntu server cd | 21:50 |
| XiXaQ | UnSuNgLoSeR, I don't understand how fancy animated desktop effects is necessary in order to use ubuntu without problems. I'd think it's much more important to get connected to the internet. | 21:50 |
| |Dede| | What path is the deleted files folder at? | 21:50 |
| amenado | wildman-> you are going to fast for me, what are you trying to do? | 21:50 |
| JoeLinux117 | @Nineaxis: And that desktop is Windows? | 21:50 |
| Nineaxis | @JoeLinux117 Yes | 21:51 |
| wildman | amenado, I have sda, and bought a bigger sdb, I've already copied the whole thing (whole contents of sda) from sda to sdb | 21:51 |
| billybiculator | xixaq: i agree lol. i spent 3 months working on my bcm4311 before i just gave up and started using a wireless bridge i found layin aroun | 21:51 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | yeah am getting to that | 21:51 |
| sotap | ceschneider: yes, refer to http://www.xubuntu.org/get | 21:51 |
| wildman | amenado, now I want to disconnect sda and connect sdb in its place, and have the exact same system I'm seeing right now (on sda) | 21:51 |

| amenado | wildman without removing /dev/sda | 21:52 |
| |Dede| | What path is the "deleted files folder" at? | 21:52 |
| wildman | amenado, I see where you are heading ... | 21:52 |
| linkinxp | when the new ubuntu comes out will i need to reinstall it ?? or it will update by it self? | 21:52 |
| wildman | if I can make it boot as sdb, it should then boot as sda, gotcha | 21:52 |
| * wildman editing menu.lst | 21:52 | |
| soulreaper | MountainX well i set the horizontal virtual size to 4 and vertical virtual is set to one and number of deck tops are set to 4 | 21:52 |
| sphinxx | people have told me theres no need to make a separate /boot partition, but in case that either winxp or linux got a virus that infected the boot record (i have dual boot), and there was no /boot partition, wouldnt i be screwed? | 21:52 |
| JoeLinux117 | Nineaxis: Download a free CD burning program, cdburnerxp.se/download | 21:52 |
| |Dede| | What path is the "deleted files folder" at? | 21:52 |
| MountainX | set number of desktops to 1. You only need to change horiz virtual size to 4. The others stay at 1. | 21:52 |
| amenado | wildman-> not that quick, you may have to play around with the menu.lst on sdb | 21:53 |

| Luckrider | linkinxp, you will be able to uprade form inside the update manager | 21:53 |
| wildman | amenado, which refers to sda's... I'm sure sdb's is different... how do I find it out? | 21:53 |
| realmccoy_ | i cant spin it it stays flat | 21:53 |
| linkinxp | Luckrider: perfect thanks :D I Like ubuntu "D | 21:53 |
| soulreaper | ok its set but i still see 2 deck tops in the bottem right | 21:53 |
| Survivorman | does anyone know how to rename an sd card in linux? I can just rename it inline in windows, but rename is grayed out. | 21:54 |
| Luckrider | plus linkinxp, you should join #ubuntu+1 | 21:54 |
| Luckrider | it is for Hardy | 21:54 |
| linkinxp | ho | 21:54 |
| amenado | wildman try to test it first, have an entry in the current menu.lst to boot from sdb | 21:54 |

| EnginA | I want to see (and possibly record) what a user is doing in my system. Any solutions for that ? i.e. I could 'tail -f /home/user/.bash_history' or 'cat /dev/pts/x' ... but is there a neat solution | 21:56 |
| wildman | bbs... hopefully :) | 21:56 |

| wildman | amenado, all I see is the hdd led blinking a lot and the Ubuntu boot progress bar doesn't move, that is, no progress | 22:03 |
| BrightEyes` | hi. something with my fat file system went wrong so i had to put the cd of windoze to repair it and unfortunately i lost the grub bootloader.how can i bring it back? | 22:03 |
| unop | MountainX, look into NIS and NIS+ and how they share system files like that | 22:03 |
| quambo | ah is that what these sync & async options do? | 22:03 |
| quambo | if its that tough maybe i'll screw it for now and just use sftp | 22:03 |

| lionroar | Hmm, would anyone know why most of my USB devices aren't recognised at init time until i disconnect and reconnect them? It's really annoying to have to keep doing that each time I turn my machine on. | 22:13 |
| Scunizi | linuxmonger, thanks that I had figured out.. sounds like the modem picks up and instantly drops.. | 22:13 |
| amenado | wildman and what happens when at boot you select the new entry you added? | 22:14 |
| RADAR | suks | 22:14 |
| linkinxp | how i enable the SKULL (KILL) process what is the shorcut? | 22:14 |
| phreck | sigh. what happened to hardy.. | 22:14 |
| RADAR | what is skull | 22:14 |
| wildman | amenado, what I explain in the 1st paste, the hdd led goes crazy and the progress bar doesn't advance | 22:14 |
| stefg | lionroar: could be a bios issue | 22:14 |
| linkinxp | let me rephrase which one is the shorcut for the kill processes ???? | 22:14 |
| djm_ | kjk | 22:15 |
| kyncani | linkinxp: the "skull" is xkill | 22:15 |
| linkinxp | ok any shorcut ? | 22:15 |
| jamesish | linkinxp: man killall might help, too. | 22:15 |
| linkinxp | lol ok | 22:15 |
| lionroar | stefg: well, I turned OFF USB2 detection (EHCI) since it was causing issues with my keyboard. Turning it on has no effect for other devices, so I just leave it off. | 22:15 |
| kyncani | linkinxp: you can set up any shortcut you want using gnome or kde. | 22:15 |
| linkinxp | how? | 22:15 |
| amenado | wildman i dont recall what you said previously, status when you select the new entry? | 22:15 |
| Scunizi | linuxmonger, does that tell you like it tells me that there is an issue with it and it won't hold the line? | 22:16 |
| kyncani | linkinxp: well, in kde, i expect it to be in system settings | 22:16 |
| bonaldo2000 | Hi, my kaffeine shows no picture on one account but works on another. Is it some config file I have to delete to make it work on the first account and if so which? | 22:16 |
| linkinxp | but im talkong for example in suse when i press certain keys the cursor changes to a SKULL and everything that i click it goes how i do that in ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| amenado | Scunizi-> it depends on how the modem is configured, if it waits for DSR or DTR or what not.. | 22:17 |
| linuxmonger | Scunizi: Maybe, try to get it to dial a number atdt 5551212 or something. | 22:17 |
| wildman | amenado, I see the 'normal' boot screen (logo + Ubuntu + progress bar) but the orange progress bar doesn't move (it doesn't progress, it doesn't advance, it's frozen at the very beginning) and the hdd activity led on the computer goes crazy | 22:17 |
| magnetron | linkinxp: you need to start the "xkill" application | 22:17 |
| linkinxp | ok ok | 22:17 |
| Scunizi | linuxmonger, good idea.. thanks amenado .. | 22:17 |
| linkinxp | thanks let me see | 22:17 |
| linuxmonger | Scunizi: Or install minicom and you can try making a full connection. | 22:17 |
| stefg | lionroar: so i'd look if you have the latest bios for your your mobo... obviously the one you got has some bugs | 22:17 |
| magnetron | linkinxp: alt+f2 and then type "xkill" would have the same effect | 22:17 |
| amenado | wildman-> well that indicates your sdb is booting, perhaps the vmlinuz or the initrd were not correct when you copied it to sdb? | 22:17 |
| linkinxp | hooo | 22:18 |
| lionroar | stefg: It is a shuttle XPC. | 22:18 |
| linkinxp | nicee | 22:18 |
| wildman | amenado, errr... I've copied it exactly as it is sda | 22:18 |

(its a broadcom 43xx, and i`m using restricted drivers and firmware, the ones that comes with ubuntu 7.10) | 22:21 |
| jamesish | kate_mins: if you;re into that kind of thing, there's at and cron from the command line that rule. | 22:21 |

| sarah____ | what works better with ubuntu, AMD/Intel? | 22:22 |
| jamesish | javb: what's the output of ifconfig? | 22:22 |
| wildman | amenado, I did try remove 'quiet splash' and the last 'quiet' line, and saw nothing but a black screen with the blinking text cursor on the left top corner | 22:22 |
| jamesish | javb: I believe you use pastebin on this forum, if that's something you need to know. | 22:22 |
| jamesish | javb: no, it's pastes.ubuntu.org, but don't just paste to the room. | 22:23 |
| amenado | wildman-> ctrl+alt+F1 F2 F3 shows anything? | 22:23 |
| wildman | amenado, device.map has (hd0) /dev/sda on both systems | 22:23 |
| lukkka | ciao a tutti | 22:23 |
| wildman | amenado, haven't tried that | 22:23 |
| wildman | amenado, device.map has (hd0) /dev/sda on both *disks* | 22:23 |
| amenado | wildman thats is wrong then, should be hd1 on the second one | 22:23 |
| javb | jamesish, =) --> http://pastebin.com/m58d051a7 | 22:23 |
| wildman | amenado, so, (hd1) /dev/sdb ? | 22:23 |
| amenado | wildman affirmative | 22:24 |
| sarah____ | what works better with ubuntu, AMD/Intel? | 22:24 |
| wildman | sarah____, both | 22:24 |

| stefg | sarah____: at the time nvidia, but that may change soon | 22:25 |

| billy | teo_: throw ur bcm43xx card off the top of the empire state building and get something else | 22:29 |

| stefg | Jowi: i don't know. Actually i found it ridiculous that gutsy was released with such a fat bug, which i'd a call a showstopper. But i'm confident that Hardy will be back on track | 22:42 |
| wildman | amenado, 1st, I didn't, that's how I found out the UUID, then I've modified the menu.lst with the newly found UUID, and I'm just thrown to busybox 'help' prompt without a working keyboard | 22:42 |

| OneTB | how do I add a service running as non-root | 22:43 |
| wildman | amenado, 1st time I tried (with root=/dev/sdb) hdd led blinked a lot, I left it there for a while, and tried Alt+F1, it said "Starting..." or "Loading..." and I saw busybox too, with working keyboard, and lots of messages stating that the 'device /dev/sdb' couldn't the found | 22:44 |
| stefg | Jowi: and you were wise to do so .... | 22:44 |

| alex101 | Hey can anyone help? im trying to install bluefish html editor and its not working. | 22:55 |
| amenado | wildman-> it modified your existing /boot on sda? | 22:56 |
| wildman | amenado, that's why I was trying from the beginning to install on a different place with --root-directory=/the/place/where/sdb1/is/mounted | 22:56 |
| stefg | Tu13es: is that a PPC or Intel MiniMac ? | 22:56 |
| wildman | amenado, which didn't work | 22:56 |
| amenado | wildman its easy to move from /boot/boot to /boot | 22:56 |

| jodie | Not using the laptop currently. I'll get back as soon as I get a wired connection working.. | 22:56 |

| stefg | !dapper | kazol_: | 22:56 |
| ubotu | kazol_:: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. | 22:56 |
| amenado | wildman its okay, no worries | 22:57 |

| amenado | wildman you can see that your /boot still exist right? it just added another boot subdir yesh? | 22:57 |
| stefg | kazol_: sorry, mout of line error, was for keit1 | 22:57 |

| OneTB | any one know how to open services from the command line | 22:58 |
| keit1 | dapper was 6.06 and ahrdy is 8.04 but was there ever a 6.04? i certainly don't remember one! ;) | 22:58 |
| Xeon06 | Hey all. I have a little problem. I have a mic that works fine under Windows but not Ubuntu. Anybody has an idea? | 22:58 |
| stefg | !dapper | keit1 | 22:58 |
| ubotu | keit1: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. | 22:58 |
| ZoiX | alex101: is because you actually have open Synaptic or another similar process | 22:58 |
| wildman | amenado, ok, dun, changed UUID for /dev/sdb1, rebooting =X | 22:58 |
| Cope57 | 6.04 and 6.10 were the only two for 2006 | 22:58 |
| amenado | kazol_-> seems like you are missing a word like "key" or is that how it is supposed to be? | 22:58 |
| alex101 | Closed synaptic now, ill try now :) | 22:58 |
| ZoiX | alex101: yeap | 22:58 |
| keit1 | stefg: cheers but was probing jodie | 22:58 |
| kazol_ | amenado: It was generated by default. | 22:58 |
| stefg | !version | jodie | 22:59 |
| ubotu | jodie: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 22:59 |
| alex101 | Thanks ZoiX its downloading now. | 22:59 |
| keit1 | so was was the release cycle 6.04 -> 6.06 -> 6.10? | 22:59 |
| ZoiX | alex101: ok :) | 22:59 |
| amenado | kazol_-> let me check what the manual says | 22:59 |
| Cope57 | every six months | 22:59 |
| Cope57 | Just for Ubuntu though | 22:59 |
| kazol_ | amenado: When I reboot, there is no internet connection-I have to open Network Manager and change the very long string to the temporary short key I have. | 22:59 |
| kazol_ | amenado: So clearly the key in Network Manager is different from the actual key...maybe it's PSK? | 23:00 |
| keit1 | Cope57: I joined the family at 6.06 then 7.04 then 7.10 and waiting with baited breath for hardy | 23:00 |
| Cope57 | Personally I believe in using one release and have a continued rolling release. No need to download a new release every time. | 23:00 |
| archangelpetro | what package is needed to compile the NVIDIA driver, from their installation Bin? | 23:00 |
| kazol_ | amenado: In that case, I don't understand why I have to enter my key each time for it to generate the same PSK. | 23:00 |
| javb_ | jamesish, http://pastebin.com/m1de86e52, this is my interfaces.conf .. shoulnt i have adde my wireless or something | 23:01 |
| keit1 | Cope57: i think that would be nice. so do you not use ubuntu? | 23:01 |
| javb_ | Wow, this is weird, it was working just before doing some upgrade | 23:01 |
| wildman | amenado, it seems to have worked... | 23:01 |
| wildman | amenado, I've added (hd0) /dev/sda and (hd1) /dev/sdb to the .map files | 23:01 |
| Cope57 | I use Debian, but I tried Ubuntu back with ver. 4.06 | 23:01 |
| wildman | amenado, and now I'm supposedly on sdb's OS | 23:01 |
| amenado | kazol_-> i cant easily find the correct syntax of wpa-psk | 23:01 |
| amenado | wildman you can verify via mount | 23:02 |
| wildman | amenado, I've touched a file on / called SEGUNDO (2nd) and I can see it on / | 23:02 |
| wildman | on sdb's /, that is | 23:02 |
| Level15 | hi. i am using the alternate cd to recover my grub. the problem is that it is not being recovered... when i reboot, it still goes straight into windows, now grub menu or anything... any suggestions on how to fix it by hand? | 23:02 |
| wildman | amenado, however: | 23:02 |
| sarah____ | hey guys, how do you customize terminal? | 23:02 |
| mactaylor | does ubuntu slow down like vista with more space used on the hdd? | 23:03 |
| wildman | amenado, mount tells me: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 23:03 |
| sarah____ | i.e when i do "ls" some files are green/orange/yellow" etc | 23:03 |
| sarah____ | how come? | 23:03 |
| kindofabuzz | sarah____: different kinds of files | 23:03 |
| wildman | amenado, shouldn't it be telling me /dev/sdb1 instead? or grub changed sdb to sda at boot time? | 23:03 |
| amenado | wildman then you have not booted to sdb, did you select from grub menu the new entry you added? | 23:03 |
| stefg | Level15: getting the super grub disk and letting it do an autofix might be easiest | 23:03 |
| wildman | yes, I did | 23:03 |
| Cope57 | sarah____ right click in terminal edit profile | 23:03 |
| alex101 | Does anyone know any good mp3 recording programs for ubuntu, like, so i can record stuff from my microphone into an mp3 or soundfile? | 23:03 |
| Level15 | stefg: supergrub disk... lemme find that | 23:03 |
| sarah____ | cope57 is there any "themes" for terminal? | 23:04 |
| sarah____ | or scripts? | 23:04 |
| amenado | wildman-> you can put a lil marker, like say you create another dir in /dev/sda that dont exist in /dev/sdb and verify it htat way? | 23:04 |
| kindofabuzz | sarah____: they are supposed to be cloored to distinquish betwwn directorys and files, ant types of files | 23:04 |
| wildman | amenado, I'll reboot with normal entry, and be back shortly... | 23:04 |
| sarah____ | oh i see | 23:04 |

| peter77 | sarah____, themes for the terminal, you can create custom profiles etc! | 23:05 |
| Cope57 | sarah____ I do not know what else you would want, I just have mine with a gray font and black background that is semi-transparent. | 23:05 |
| kindofabuzz | alex101: maybe overkill, but audicity | 23:05 |
| sarah____ | creating a custome profile, im not good with "picking colors!" | 23:05 |
| alex101 | YOU CAN GET AUDACITY FOR LINUX?! | 23:05 |

| wildman | amenado, ... however: mount | grep sd -> /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 23:10 |
| stefg | Draggin: so do you just want to have custom menus for each user or do you want to actively prevent a particualr user from running , say, openoffice ? | 23:11 |
| alex101 | Where will overkill and audacity be saved to? cuz i cant find them in the sound option in applications. | 23:11 |
| jin__ | sarah____: then you need to setup a mail server.. :\ | 23:11 |
| Jowi | billy, does a reboot solve it? | 23:11 |
| billy | it started right after a reboot lol | 23:11 |
| sarah____ | to create my own pop3 account like sarah@is.cool.com | 23:11 |
| sarah____ | i dont liek gmail/aol/hotmail | 23:11 |
| wildman | amenado, I can confirm the / is sdb's content | 23:11 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: WoP is still buggy i think, it causes me sometime to go to 800x600 in a window, but sound is still running and i have to hard boot | 23:11 |
| sarah____ | is it possible to do jin__? | 23:11 |
| billy | sarah: i think you have to have ur own email server for that | 23:11 |
| neztit2 | guys pls help | 23:11 |
| neztit2 | guys any one can tell me where is the channels be on mythtv? | 23:11 |
| jin__ | sarah____: sarah____to do that, you need your own domain name | 23:11 |
| billy | !ask|neztit2 | 23:11 |
| ubotu | neztit2: 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. :-) | 23:12 |
| amenado | wildman-> check the /etc/fstab you have both in the existing and the one that is in /dev/sdb | 23:12 |
| wildman | amenado, sorry, again: I can confirm the / content is sdb's (that is the disk I've transferred everything too) | 23:12 |
| kelvin911 | kindofabuzz: so how to fix that? | 23:12 |
| Tucci | I am unable to connect to a network now that a WEP password has been placed on it. My computer just keeps asking for the password every few minutes. Any help? | 23:12 |
| jin__ | sarah____: yes, but then you need a pc that's 24/7 connected to the internet | 23:12 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: i dunno, read the wop boards | 23:12 |
| Cope57 | neztit2 I could not find a IRC channel | 23:12 |
| billy | jowi: any ideas? | 23:12 |
| Jowi | billy, sounds like the video ram is wacky. shutting the PC off *totally* and then start it up again. if that does not help.. umm.. | 23:12 |
| jin__ | sarah____: but you can do it with a hosting provider ;) much easier | 23:12 |
| Cope57 | http://www.mythtv.org | 23:12 |
| kelvin911 | kindofabuzz: just press the reset button? no other choice? | 23:12 |
| alex101 | Does anyone know how i can open my audacity and overkill? cuz its not in sound section in applications. | 23:12 |
| wildman | amenado, I think that may be the pb, fstab is sda's, that's what's confuzing mount | 23:12 |
| billy | jowi: okay thanks, ill try it | 23:12 |
| amenado | wildman the /etc/fstab for /dev/sdb should be different and not an exact copy of what is in /dev/sda | 23:12 |
| Level15 | stefg: supergrub disk didn't fix it :( | 23:12 |
| tobberoth | Jowi: That link worked! My CLI is now beautiful. BUT, for some reason I got an american keyboard setting, even though my keyboard is swedish. | 23:12 |
| sarah____ | but can't i do it with my ubuntu desktop jin__. I will only be able to acces it when its online. I can live with that. | 23:12 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: try ctl-alt backspace first | 23:12 |
| kelvin911 | kindofabuzz: i have video and sound, but in window mode and can not use mouse or keyboard | 23:12 |
| wildman | fstab has UUIDs too | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: yup that's exactly what i get | 23:13 |
| amenado | wildman-> well, you are doing things in adhoc, thats why all these mis-steps, if you planned it right.. :P | 23:13 |
| kelvin911 | kindofabuzz: ok next time i got this error i try that | 23:13 |
| sarah____ | jin__ what would i need to do this? | 23:13 |
| wildman | amenado, ok, I'm on the right path now (it seems) | 23:13 |
| kinnune | any1 know a good wine guide? | 23:13 |
| kelvin911 | gota go to work | 23:13 |
| Jowi | tobberoth, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" should let you set "se" keymap | 23:13 |
| kelvin911 | bye | 23:13 |
| neztit2 | Cope57: what??? | 23:13 |
| kelvin911 | kindofabuzz: thx | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | kinnune: www.windhq.com | 23:13 |
| wildman | amenado, I did plan it right, it's just that's really messy to install the bootloader on the 2nd disk to make it bootable, not to mention that it will be the 1st disk once I remove the current 1st disk :P | 23:13 |
| Teslacuted | kinnune: some chablis can be very nice ;) | 23:13 |
| jin__ | sarah____: then you still need a domain name, which will cost you around 8 usd a year | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz | www.winehq.com =) | 23:13 |
| amenado | wildman the funny thing is you have to change these all again upon removal of current sda and moving sdb in place of sda ..hehe | 23:14 |
| wildman | yep :) | 23:14 |
| tobberoth | Jowi: Thanks! | 23:14 |

| wildman | amenado, then, remove sda and we'll see :) | 23:14 |
| kinnune | i think its winehq.org | 23:14 |

| Positronic | Hello all, my version of Ubuntu freezes when suspended? Anyone know the solution for that? | 23:36 |
| c-ron | hehe | 23:36 |
| unop | xs142, you can only change the system's date/time if you are a superuser .. haw are you trying to change the date? | 23:36 |
| jwithee | insomninja: thanks for your help. I am going to see what I can do. | 23:36 |
| insomninja | jwithee, hmm that is a tricky one indeed, but I would guess that the problem would go beyond packages | 23:36 |
| keit1 | Positronic: same here. suspend just _does_not_work_ for me | 23:36 |
| Cope57 | Positronic Linux does not like suspend or hibernate | 23:36 |
| venka1 | hello, iam booting ubuntu with acpi=off irqpoll pnpbios=off are these arg very bad to use or it is not going to hurt much? | 23:36 |
| keit1 | Positronic: presume hibernate is the same | 23:37 |
| insomninja | jwithee, good luck, but I personally think a backup and reinstall is your best option | 23:37 |
| dimitree | Where is the default install location of Java Dev Kit installed from repo ? | 23:37 |
| ader10 | How can I get the "shadow" desktop session for freenx to work? | 23:37 |
| xs142 | unop: Rightclicking the clock and pressing 'adjust'? Point of the matter however is that I kinda lost all other administrative priviledges, like making users, and i want'em back.. | 23:37 |
| stefg | phixxor: you might want to look at epiphany or opera even... firefox2 is a hog, but 512 MB Ram is ok. avoid to many extensions | 23:37 |
| Positronic | Cope57, I was beginning to think so... | 23:37 |
| c-ron | venka1: works fine for many | 23:37 |
| Positronic | keit1, at least im not the only one | 23:37 |
| venka1 | c-ron, ok | 23:37 |
| Positronic | ;P | 23:37 |
| venka1 | c-ron, are you using these too ? | 23:37 |
| keit1 | Positronic: no you most certainly are not! ;) | 23:37 |
| keit1 | Positronic: log-off or shutdwon are the only 2 options at the mo | 23:37 |
| billy | cope57: that didn't work | 23:37 |
| Draggin | stefg - sorry to bug you again, but I don't seem to find the information I'm looking for on any of those pages either - I want to know how to make sure that certain applications are available for certain users... | 23:38 |
| c-ron | venka1: i only use acpi=off, but if that's causing problems, you can add other parameters | 23:38 |
| billy | its still doing it some | 23:38 |
| streak | Hello | 23:38 |
| billy | wait now it stopped after a watched a video? | 23:38 |
| mactaylor | is jfs more fast than ext3? | 23:38 |
| venka1 | c-ron: doesn't your computer heat up ? | 23:38 |
| venka1 | with just acpi | 23:38 |
| ader10 | How can I get the "shadow" desktop session for freenx to work? | 23:38 |
| phixxor | stefg: alright, I'll check those out -- but the main problem is whenever I'm on youtube, the cpu goes to 100%. I'm listening to last.fm radio right now and I'm already at around 30% | 23:38 |
| keit1 | this is the second time a system has started doing this with file-roller so surely someone else must have experienced it too | 23:38 |
| Cope57 | billy: does it do that only in the browser or all applications? | 23:38 |
| stefg | Draggin: only in terms of menu entries, or do you want to have strict control over who can run which app ? | 23:38 |
| Positronic | keit1, when linux is operating it seems that my laptop also builds up an excessive amount of heat.... it bothers me | 23:38 |
| phixxor | stefg: is there anything I can do about that? | 23:38 |
| stefg | phixxor: that's flash .... | 23:39 |
| c-ron | venka1: nope works fine... | 23:39 |
| billy | cope57: it does it in pidgin and firefox so far | 23:39 |
| jacob_ | for ubuntu fans: www.system76.com | 23:39 |
| Draggin | stefg - menu entries for now - I think I'll worry about restricting the usage later, but if you have a link for a howto on that as well, I'd appreciate it | 23:39 |
| keit1 | Positronic: you might wanna check that you have disabled that option regarding HDD and spin-ups, though doubt that would generate any serious heat | 23:39 |
| c-ron | venka1: you also could try the noacpi parameter.. go with whatever works for your system | 23:40 |
| billy | cope57: its not doing it now for some reason tho | 23:40 |
| ChaosTheory | I can't get Flash to work. =( | 23:40 |
| billy | how do i get firefox to play videos? | 23:40 |
| phixxor | stefg: so there's nothing I can do about it but use a newer computer? | 23:40 |
| Cope57 | billy: what I did probably fixed it, just took a little time | 23:40 |
| stefg | Draggi: just right click on 'Apllications' choose 'edit menu' and make them suite your needs | 23:40 |
| phixxor | billy: flash videos? | 23:40 |
| Positronic | yeah the heat generated is near the back of my laptop I dont think that is where the HDD is located | 23:41 |
| Cope57 | ChaosTheory is having trouble w/flash | 23:41 |
| billy | phixxor: yea | 23:41 |
| Positronic | keit1, yeah the heat generated is near the back of my laptop I dont think that is where the HDD is located | 23:41 |
| keit1 | Positronic: most likely the cpu | 23:41 |
| Cope57 | billy had font issues | 23:41 |
| billy | i got gnash but its not working | 23:41 |
| xs142 | upon so I figured I should get in as root and set my rights back ? | 23:41 |
| sphinxx | hey nikrud you here? | 23:41 |
| keit1 | billy: gnash wasn't too hot for flv playback last time i checked | 23:41 |
| ader10 | How can I get the "shadow" desktop session for freenx to work? | 23:41 |
| Cope57 | gnash is not that great | 23:41 |
| phixxor | billy: there's a firefox plugin you have to get... libflash-mozplugin | 23:41 |
| unop | xs142, what does this command return? id | 23:42 |
| Draggin | stefg - It's really that simple? IOW, log in with the relevant user account and customise the menu for that user? | 23:42 |
| phixxor | billy: reinstall it if you already have it, that's what I had to do once | 23:42 |
| billy | phixxor: where do i find that? package manager? | 23:42 |
| nikrud | sphinxx at work, be around in a couple hours | 23:42 |
| sphinxx | oh ok | 23:42 |
| keit1 | anyone think that flashplayer9 isn't that great either. need's some serious optimisation! | 23:42 |
| stefg | phixxor: adobe's flash is the problem... but all free implementations don't work for youtube. it might be related to sound output | 23:42 |
| sphinxx | i just had a question about /boot | 23:42 |
| phixxor | billy: sudo apt-get install libflash-mozplugin | 23:42 |
| billy | youtube works but otherones dont | 23:42 |
| Pelican | msg bot invite #what.cd conv3rg3nc3 | 23:43 |
| keit1 | stefg: abobe need to stop messing about and open up their platform | 23:43 |
| stefg | Draggin: Ubuntu is user friendly! :-) It's just picky about who are its friends :-) | 23:43 |
| sphinxx | if theres no separate /boot partition, if the boot loader got corrupted somehow, from either my linux or windows partitions, would i be screwed? | 23:43 |
| Pelican | goddamnit | 23:43 |
| phixxor | stefg: ah. I had no idea | 23:43 |
| ader10 | How can I get the "shadow" desktop session for freenx to work? | 23:43 |
| Draggin | stefg - haha :) I'm trying hard to be its friend though :) | 23:43 |
| arthur37854 | i have a question about vlc? my samsung phone records video into .3g2 format i can get vlc to play the video with out sound i get this msg main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format. | 23:43 |
| billy | brb | 23:43 |
| ricanelite | is Hardy going to work with Compiz? | 23:43 |
| Pelican | of course | 23:43 |
| justin007827 | i ran nvidia setting from the comand prompt, but I cant find the overscan settings. Can anyone help me? | 23:44 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: gutsy works with compiz! | 23:44 |
| Pelican | does anyone know anything about a better bluetooth stack? | 23:44 |
| xs142 | upon: what command? | 23:44 |
| xs142 | id? | 23:44 |
| c-ron | sphinxx: see http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore/ | 23:44 |
| phixxor | sphinxx: you would still be able to boot from the livecd and fix stuff up, or at least recover some files | 23:44 |
| ricanelite | yeah but I when hardy comes out later in the month | 23:44 |
| ricanelite | Im just wondering if it will work | 23:44 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: yes | 23:44 |
| Pelican | like one that works with samsung phones? | 23:44 |
| ricanelite | okay | 23:44 |
| mcquaid | ricanelite, it works now with gutsy | 23:44 |
| unop | xs142, open up a terminal and type this out. id<enter> | 23:44 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: depending on *your* card | 23:44 |
| rumplesmigskin | Hi. I'm currently using the radeonfb driver, and wondering if there's a nice way to start a second X server on a different TTY using the fglrx driver. | 23:45 |
| ricanelite | yeah i have compiz working perfect | 23:45 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: then it will be fine | 23:45 |
| ricanelite | just was wondering if it was going to work in the new OS | 23:45 |
| ricanelite | okay | 23:45 |
| xs142 | upon, uid=1000(xs142) gid=1000(xs142) groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(scanner),112(netdev),113(lpadmin),115(powerdev),1000(xs142) | 23:45 |
| mcquaid | so why would you think it wouldn't work with hardy? | 23:45 |
| ricanelite | is the beta stable? | 23:45 |
| ricanelite | dont know | 23:45 |
| ricanelite | cause i have bad luck with linux | 23:45 |
| sphinxx | phixx, thanks | 23:45 |
| c-ron | sphinxx: also see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 23:45 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: but it already does. so it's fairly safe to say that the _next_release_on_ will have it working too?! :) | 23:45 |
| Cope57 | beta is basically beta-testing | 23:46 |
| ChaosTheory | I have installed flash but when I try to view a video it asks "Install suitable codec?" | 23:46 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: haven't tried the beta | 23:46 |
| ChaosTheory | T_T | 23:46 |
| Pelican | flash and ubuntu suck | 23:46 |
| ricanelite | ok | 23:46 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | XiXaQ am back | 23:46 |
| Cope57 | usable but not stable | 23:46 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | with a long list of problems | 23:46 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: it is released on APril 23~ | 23:46 |
| Cope57 | Flash is great | 23:46 |
| ricanelite | yeah i kno | 23:46 |
| ricanelite | i know cant wait | 23:46 |
| ChaosTheory | Cope57: Do you know how to fix it? =P | 23:46 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: stable LTS | 23:46 |
| archangelpetro | justin007827, hey, how did yo udo it? did you compile it using the NVIDIA binary? or did u use ubuntu packages?? | 23:46 |
| mcquaid | flash is the scum of the internet | 23:46 |
| keit1 | ricanelite: same here ;) | 23:46 |
| ChaosTheory | Cope57: I know it's easier said than done. =D | 23:47 |
| phixxor | ChaosTheory: are you using firefox? did you install the mozplugin | 23:47 |
| ChaosTheory | Yes, I'm using Firefox. | 23:47 |
| jchase | FF3? | 23:47 |
| mcquaid | ChaosTheory, just install flash-nonfree | 23:47 |
| sphinxx | hey guys i just set up dual boot for ubuntu/winxp on my laptop and now i want to do it on my desktop, im curious how to set up the partitions | 23:47 |
| ricanelite | the only issue i have a problem is with i have a account at mlb.tv | 23:47 |
| ricanelite | but omg the videos wont play | 23:47 |
| mcquaid | you should be fine | 23:47 |
| sphinxx | ill have like 30-40gb available for linux | 23:47 |
| unop | xs142, ok, try this command out. sudo usermod -G admin $USER | 23:47 |
| ricanelite | because i think the site is using that Microsoft Silver Light | 23:47 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: did you restart FF? | 23:47 |
| ChaosTheory | phixxor: I just installed it. | 23:47 |
| unop | xs142, and then log out and log back in | 23:47 |
| sphinxx | like i didnt do a /home on my laptop because i had so little space | 23:47 |
| phixxor | ChaosTheory: mmm, sucks, idk what to do then | 23:47 |
| sphinxx | but im curious as to the benefits of creating separate partitions for /tmp and such | 23:48 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | i tried to install kppp but it wont widout internet | 23:48 |
| Adman65 | anyone gimme a hand setting up a sytem wide proxy? | 23:48 |
| Cope57 | ChaosTheory check PM | 23:48 |
| c-ron | sphinxx: have just one physical harddrive? | 23:48 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: did you dl the tar from adboe.com then untar and run the installer in your terminal? | 23:48 |
| ChaosTheory | Huzzah. | 23:48 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | and connecting to the inet wid ubuntu is my problem in the first place! | 23:48 |
| Draggin | stefg - Last time I'll bug you - if I did become interested in restricting users to use certain applications, where could I have a look to learn how to achieve that? | 23:48 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: restart work? | 23:48 |
| Pelican | so anyone know about a not lame bluetooth stack? | 23:48 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | i installed ubuntu from the live CD! | 23:48 |
| ChaosTheory | Nope. =D | 23:48 |
| ChaosTheory | Didn't work. Installed mozplugin. | 23:48 |
| mcquaid | you don't need to restart for flash, well maybe the browser | 23:48 |
| mcquaid | install this http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/flashplugin-nonfree | 23:49 |
| ChaosTheory | keit1: One second. | 23:49 |
| Positronic | keit1, did you just comment out ACPI_SLEEP to remove suspend to RAM? | 23:49 |
| mcquaid | check about:plugins to see if it's there | 23:49 |
| armory555 | dose any one kno how to install system sound themes? | 23:49 |
| xs142 | upon, no luck | 23:49 |
| keit1 | Positronic: no | 23:49 |
| phixxor | sphinxx: definitely create a separate one for /home -- other specialized partitions are mostly useful for servers where you don't want things like /var becoming too big by accident and taking over | 23:49 |
| Positronic | keit1, not recommended or just didnt do it? | 23:49 |
| unop | sphinxx, performance. usually when you want a different set of mount options for different parts of the filesystem, defragmentation, etc, etc | 23:49 |
| billy | can anyone help with my video playing problems? | 23:50 |
| stefg | Draggin: afaik that would involve creating groups and make certain files only executable by these groups | 23:50 |
| keit1 | Positronic: just didn't do it | 23:50 |
| ChaosTheory | keit1: Okay, I have the tar.gz. What do I do now? | 23:50 |
| danny | How can I share my media directories and drives on Ubuntu so I could access them on my Xbox360? In windows I would use media player but here??? | 23:50 |
| stefg | !permissions | Draggin | 23:50 |
| ubotu | Draggin: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 23:50 |
| billy | specifically flash videos in firefox | 23:50 |
| Cope57 | ChaosTheory you using 64bit | 23:50 |
| phixxor | billy: didn't work? | 23:50 |
| billy | nope | 23:50 |
| unop | !samba | danny | 23:50 |
| ubotu | danny: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:50 |
| phixxor | :( | 23:50 |
| Draggin | stefg - thanks, I thought that might be the case. Thanks again for the help. | 23:50 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: if you already got flash working then no need | 23:50 |
| ChaosTheory | Cope57: No. | 23:50 |
| phixxor | !flash | 23:50 |
| ubotu | 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 | 23:50 |
| ChaosTheory | keit1: I don't have Flash working. =( | 23:50 |
| billy | phixxor: wut other options do i have? | 23:50 |
| sarah____ | !info update | 23:50 |

| UnSuNgLoSeR | need help! | 23:50 |
| billy | gnash does suck | 23:50 |
| phixxor | yeah | 23:50 |
| phixxor | youtube doesn't work with gnash I've heard | 23:51 |
| danny | ubotu: thanks | 23:51 |
| ubotu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 23:51 |
| mcquaid | flash-nonfree sucks just a little less | 23:51 |
| Chatiel | nadie habla español? | 23:51 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: otherwise unzip the tar.gz then drag the installer file into the terminal and follow instructions | 23:51 |

| keit1 | ChaosTheory: yes | 23:54 |
| Cope57 | UnSuNgLoSeR what type of connection do you have? | 23:55 |
| Kaja | sarah____, depends on your connection speed. The update-manager gives a nice estimation. | 23:55 |
| UnSuNgLoSeR | 3G | 23:55 |

| keit1 | restart firefox | 23:55 |
| unop | xs142, ok, that failed somehow.. try this. sudo useradd -G admin $USER | 23:55 |
| Kaja | sarah____, best version of Ubuntu so far. | 23:55 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: ^^ | 23:56 |
| billy | where can i dl the 32 bit version of firefox? | 23:56 |
| * keit1 can't wait for hardy!!!!! w00t | 23:56 | |
| xs142 | unop didn't report anything wrong atleast... | 23:56 |
| Cope57 | billy, why? | 23:56 |
| stefg | sarah____: you might want to head for #ubuntu-offtopic for socal chatter, and to #ubuntu+1 for hardy support/questions | 23:56 |
| keit1 | ChaosTheory: how did you get on? | 23:56 |
| ChaosTheory | keit1: I'm on Youtube. It's asking me "Search for a suitable codec?" | 23:56 |
| billy | cope57: so i can use flash | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | urthmover, What model macbook pro? | 23:56 |
| ChaosTheory | keit1: get on? | 23:56 |
| mouseboyx | can you monitor all trafic on a network, not just on a single machine? | 23:56 |
| arthur37854 | i have a question about vlc? my samsung phone records video into .3g2 format i can get vlc to play the video with out sound i get this msg main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'.
