| sjovan | Steven2: i have installed xmms.... | 00:00 |
| bod_ | hey guys, when writing a script to use as a 'nautilus script' i need to have gksudo in it, now this is fine, the script is to chmod 777 whochever file i use it on, the first time i ran it it was fine and worked, but it now doesnt work because its no longer prompting me, in the same way you can use sudo for 5 mins or whatever it is and it only asks you once,.,. how can i make gksudo prompt me for a password 'everytime' in this script? | 00:00 |
| SliMM | hmm, foodbot is quite good | 00:00 |
| maarek_ | anyone using the new Adobe AIR SDK | 00:00 |
| maarek_ | ? | 00:00 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: I've been downloading so many packages. Which one was that? | 00:00 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: qt3-apps-dev | 00:01 |
| bod_ | Codedragon, try removing all usb devices | 00:01 |
| maarek_ | from the adobe labs | 00:01 |
| maarek_ | it just came out monday | 00:01 |
| Codedragon | icanhasadmin: I dunno, i tried the beta 8.10 version and it did that same even when I picked the acpi problem one too | 00:01 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: I already downloaded and installed that one. | 00:01 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: 1 sec | 00:01 |
| Steven2 | OKies | 00:01 |
| aguitel_ | how i rezice my partition ? | 00:02 |
| bod_ | !gparted | 00:02 |
| ubotu | GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 00:02 |
| billy | if i have a windows comp and ubuntu comp on the same network and they can ping each other, is there any way to send messages between the two? | 00:02 |
| linkinxp | why it says Cannot Update Select Partial Updating (when i try to update the packages) ??? | 00:02 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: I just downloaded all the packages I could find with qt and -dev in them. So I got that one for sure. | 00:02 |
| bod_ | billy, ntmk without a messagein program | 00:02 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: wait are you on KDE? | 00:02 |
| billy | bod_: huh? | 00:03 |
| Shadow420 | !java | 00:03 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 00:03 |
| bod_ | billy, not to my knowledge, without a chat program, like xchat or msn | 00:03 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: No I don't believe so. I think it's still gnome running compiz. | 00:03 |
| billy | bod_: oh okay | 00:03 |
| billy | bod_: thanks | 00:03 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: you MIGHT want to try a ,/configure --with-qt-includes="path to your qt includes" | 00:04 |
| bod_ | billy, but, it wouldnt be hard to program one,. if it can send pings then it can recieve packats, so i would have thought with a bit of know how its possible | 00:04 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: I don't know where qt includes is. | 00:04 |
| bod_ | icanhasadmin, were u meant to put ./configure? | 00:04 |
| Steven2 | bod_: I figured as much. | 00:05 |
| troxor | billy: smbclient can do net send, iirc | 00:05 |
| bod_ | ;~) | 00:05 |
| billy | troxor: iirc? | 00:05 |
| bod_ | if i remember correcxtly | 00:05 |
| bod_ | correctly | 00:05 |
| tclineks | could someon look at my apt.log, i'm trying to upgrade to hardy but cant' make much sense about this error, apparently with openoffice http://dpaste.com/42855/ | 00:06 |
| aj_ | Could someone tell me how I can remove all icons from my desktop other than those I specifically want? (I basically do not want anything on screen except for a few application launchers)? | 00:06 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: you make a valid point, honestly i'm not even sure where they would be, but if you can find them that just might work :D | 00:06 |
| tclineks | aj_: which icons arey ou talking about? | 00:06 |
| andrzej | hello every1! any1 knows what does it mean: "NOTICE: Initial Lua setup failed. Cannot continue."???? | 00:06 |
| bod_ | how can i make gksudo prompt for a password 'everytime' its used, (even in quick succession) ?? | 00:06 |
| phreck | So why was hardy delayed 3 months? The beta that jacked up? | 00:06 |
| aj_ | tclineks: Specifically the icons for "Computer" and the home folder. | 00:06 |
| icanhasadmin | phreck: april fools... | 00:06 |
| bod_ | andrzej, i think lua files are game code? | 00:07 |
| phreck | lol damn. | 00:07 |
| phreck | i suck. | 00:07 |
| icanhasadmin | :D | 00:07 |

| phreck | heh | 00:07 |
| aj_ | tclineks: I'm setting up an account for my nephew and want to really simplify the interface. | 00:07 |
| tclineks | nikrud: thankyou | 00:07 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: I ran a search. 'No files found.' | 00:07 |
| phreck | uh. did i just break a language rule? | 00:07 |
| Odd-rationale | bod_: well with sudo you can do: sudo -k I don't know about gksudo | 00:07 |
| andrzej | yes, im trying to install QW and i get this | 00:07 |
| aj_ | tclineks: Nautilus... okay. I had looked through gconf but didn't know WHERE to look for it. Thanks. | 00:07 |
| deniz__ | any1 know how to use imagemagick? | 00:07 |
| icanhasadmin | nikrud: you have any suggestions for Steven's issue? | 00:07 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: You know what I just want a CD mount program. Is there another that's easier to install? | 00:07 |
| billy | why can i ping my windows comp but i can't see any of the files on it? | 00:07 |
| tclineks | deniz__: google it | 00:07 |
| troxor | bod_: set timestamp_timeout to 0 | 00:07 |
| deniz__ | tclineks, the guides ive found dont state the ovious which to me isnt ovious.. | 00:08 |
| phreck | billy, make sure you have all of the services needed for windows filesharing installed. | 00:08 |
| deniz__ | tclineks, i ruined that sentence but ya | 00:08 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: like for virtual cd drives? | 00:08 |
| Codedragon | I would love to get rid of my windows but if I can't get ubuntu working I don't know what else to do. I burned the image I downloaded to a cd and booted off of it and the same thing. I am running out of things to try. I got a 19" widescreen LCD running off of a X850pro video card. I don't know if that is the problem or not though.. | 00:08 |
| billy | phreck: what are all of those services? | 00:08 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, i need it to prompt everytime because my chmod script doesnt work if it doesnt prompt,.,. il look into the parameters ty,.,. troxor,. i need to do it within the script only, i dont want to affect the terminal gksudo | 00:08 |
| phreck | Billy: Google knows better than I. | 00:08 |

| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: Yes. Like Alcohol 120(win) and Daemon Tools(win). | 00:09 |
| billy | !samba | 00:09 |

| nikrud | icanhasadmin I just sat back down, and saw your bit about setting explicit path for qt includes. I don't have it installed, but I think it's /usr/include/qt3 | 00:09 |
| phreck | =D | 00:09 |
| troxor | bod_: sudo -K ? | 00:09 |
| bastid_raZor | both are on the same network ^^ | 00:09 |
| phreck | billy: there ya go. | 00:09 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: i THINK arson does that? you might want to try nikrud's suggestion for the qt location | 00:09 |
| Odd-rationale | bod_: in other words you want to prompt for passwd every time you run script? | 00:09 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, yes,.,. easy or not? | 00:09 |
| maarek_ | which IRC program is transparent and melds with the background? | 00:10 |
| Odd-rationale | bod_: dunno. never done it... | 00:10 |
| nikrud | Steven2 you might try gmountiso (I never really paid attention to exactly what you were compiling ;) | 00:10 |
| Steven2 | Nope it still says Qt libraries not found. | 00:10 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, the man page says about sudo -k as if it resets the timer, but it seems as though i need to run sudo -k && sudo to get the prompt | 00:10 |
| troxor | maarek_: irssi on a transparent/borderless terminal ? | 00:10 |
| SliMM | Steven2: you can mount cd images just as you mount storage devices, using the mount command | 00:10 |
| Odd-rationale | bod_: correct | 00:11 |
| invalidsyntax | when i goto install an application it says it cant find sources and I am connected to the net? | 00:11 |
| nikrud | Steven2 ls /usr/include , is one of those qt something? | 00:11 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, ok cheers, il give it a go | 00:11 |
| Codedragon | anyone? please help me...:( | 00:11 |
| RiotGeek | I'm trying to help an ubuntu user in #apache. Can someone please tell me the def documentroot in ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| Odd-rationale | bod_: ok | 00:11 |
| SliMM | Steven2: you can even find scripts to place in the nautilus scripts folder ro get a context menu entry for mounting images, when you right-click them | 00:11 |
| Exteris | RiotGeek, /var/www ? | 00:11 |
| troxor | Codedragon: what's the problem? | 00:12 |
| nikrud | RiotGeek /var/www . If you haven't played with debian based apache configs, you will be confused ;) | 00:12 |
| icanhasadmin | SliMM: ... you can mount an .iso file with mount? and have it completely uncompress and auto run all the info properly with full controls? if that works it's serious news to me | 00:12 |
| invalidsyntax | is there a way to restore the source.list | 00:12 |
| Codedragon | I would love to get rid of my windows but if I can't get ubuntu working I don't know what else to do. I burned the image I downloaded to a cd and booted off of it and the same thing. I am running out of things to try. I got a 19" widescreen LCD running off of a X850pro video card. I don't know if that is the problem or not though.. | 00:12 |
| corinth | Why was glipper taken out of the default repos in hardy? | 00:12 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, 1 more problem,.,. the -k switch for gksudo does not do the same is it does for sudo,.,. will i still et the prompt if i sudo -k && gksudo? | 00:12 |
| andrzej | andrzej@andrzej-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./ETQW-client-1.4-full.x86.run when i type that in console i get LUA error. Any1 know what should I do? | 00:12 |
| RiotGeek | nikrud: Indeed. No /var/www/{html,cgi-bin} and so forth. Huh... | 00:12 |
| nikrud | corinth ask in #ubuntu+1 , they handle hardy questions | 00:12 |
| corinth | Thanks! | 00:12 |
| SliMM | icanhasadmin: you can :-) iso, nrg, maybe cue, but i'm not sure about that last one | 00:12 |
| icanhasadmin | SliMM: well once again, something linux can do that flabergasts me. thank you :P | 00:13 |
| troxor | invalidsyntax: the most straightforward way is to just find the default one and copy/paste :) | 00:13 |
| nikrud | RiotGeek http.conf is all broken up into /etc/apache2.conf, mods-enabled and sites-enabled, and conf.d, | 00:13 |
| eck090 | How do i mount a hard drive? im triyng the commands given to me by Ubuntu, but it is not working for some reason | 00:13 |
| Odd-rationale | bod_: I think sudo -k && gksudo will work. | 00:14 |
| Geekthras | Blargh | 00:14 |
| eck090 | or even, can i just format it | 00:14 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, ok, il give it a go, cheers | 00:14 |
| Geekthras | ubuntu hates me >.< | 00:14 |
| SliMM | icanhasadmin: just, search google for a script to do that automatically, and add it to the scripts folder/context menu (via nautilus-actions) | 00:14 |
| troxor | invalidsyntax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SourcesList | 00:14 |
| Steven2 | The file types I want to mount are .ccd and possibly .img and .sub | 00:14 |
| deniz__ | tclineks, were in there does it show how to convert pdfs to jpegs? | 00:14 |

| Geekthras | But nothing is is displayed | 00:16 |
| bod_ | Odd-rationale, k, cheers ;~) | 00:16 |

| Codedragon | nope, not going to try that untill i get ubuntu installed :D | 00:20 |
| icanhasadmin | eck090: man mount | 00:20 |
| troxor | eck090: easy way: plug it in | 00:20 |
| Steven2 | linkinxp: And if you screw up grub and can't boot. Just use your LiveCD. | 00:20 |
| xbehave | how much space do i need for /boot? | 00:20 |
| linkinxp | Steven2 icanhasadmin i see the problem is i ran apt-get distro-update and now i have to versions of ubuntu in the boot list i want just one | 00:20 |
| Synclair | /way | 00:20 |

| SliMM | riotkittie: yeah, but from august to october there are.. 2 months? | 00:20 |

| troxor | SErge: changes the ownership of that file to user | 00:21 |
| Steven2 | icanhasadmin: Isn't there a command you can run in terminal to backup your grub.list? | 00:21 |
| riotkittie | SliMM: ubuntu's naming convention ... x.y, where x is year, and y is month. hardy, 8.04, will be released this month at some point | 00:21 |
| riotkittie | though i dont which exact date | 00:22 |
| icanhasadmin | Steven2: sure there is, but that wouldn't really help if you can't boot to restore it :P | 00:22 |
| SliMM | riotkittie: but i thought it was delayed | 00:22 |
| Steven2 | That's true. | 00:22 |
| linkinxp | icanhasadmin, can i pastebin u this so u can tell me? | 00:22 |

| SliMM | so, will there be a delay in hardy's release | 00:23 |
| Al2O3 | sometimes my net hub goes down, and seems ubuntu 7.10 net interface goes along with it but doesn't come back. Is there a way to tell the system to reactivate the interface (even restart it), and then get a IP for it without rebooting? | 00:23 |
| SliMM | ? | 00:23 |
| riotkittie | SliMM: is it? hm. it might be, i havent been following. those in #ubuntu+1 might be able to provide more info | 00:23 |
| Steven2 | eck090: Sure just boot your LiveCD and use the formatter to format the partition. | 00:23 |
| Joelito | HI all, I was watching this youtube video of Ubuntu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvnQE1EAEZY | 00:23 |
| eck090 | there is no command in terminal i can use? | 00:23 |
| Codedragon | what is the difference between the x86 and the 64bit versions? I got a 64bit AMD will the not 64bit one work just as good? or at all? | 00:24 |
| Tylor-Van | mhm | 00:24 |
| bod_ | guys, if i have a script that does this -- cat ./$@ | pastebinit how can i make the script display the output? | 00:24 |
| Joelito | how can I make bottom panel looks and behave like the one from the video? | 00:24 |
| troxor | Codedragon: only if you have a 64bit processor! | 00:24 |
| Cyborg | whos Dave2 :/ | 00:24 |
| Steven2 | I suppose. But I doubt you could do it while running Ubuntu. Because your formatting Ubuntu. | 00:24 |
| billy | is there a terminal command that will make all shared files on a computer on the same network download to this comp? | 00:24 |
| billy | like my comp | 00:24 |
| bod_ | wget? | 00:24 |
| Codedragon | troxor: I do, but the 64bit one won't work for me | 00:24 |
| aj_ | Wow... are there really no adult content filters for Firefox? | 00:24 |

| fat-head | can anyone give me a few file joining and splitting apps for linux ( something like ffsj on windows not saying ffsj is good just an example ) ??? | 00:26 |
| Al2O3 | maybe Tylor-Van's head just hit the keyboard | 00:26 |
| Tylor-Van | lol | 00:26 |
| Tylor-Van | no | 00:26 |
| Tylor-Van | sorry | 00:26 |

| meheren | im trying to add a dash (4 numbers in) to the end of only 9 digit dumbers is there a perl or vim script to allow me to do this? | 00:27 |
| troxor | Codedragon: the 32bit version will run just fine, so that might be the cheap way out | 00:27 |
| billy | georgy_28: no from linux to windows | 00:27 |
| Tylor-Van | I just like wasd | 00:27 |

| Al2O3 | Q: how to restart net interface without rebooting? | 00:28 |
| Codedragon | troxor: I am trying to replase windows by installing over it or formatting it completley. I just don't want to do a command line format untill ubuntu is installed as then I won't have anything to fing/get help with | 00:28 |
| icanhasadmin | Al2O3: describe 'net interface'? | 00:28 |
| Steven2 | Joelito: If you look at the comment by karlozusa. On the YouTube link they say how to get the panel. | 00:28 |
| linkinxp | icanhasadmin, i got it let me reboot | 00:28 |
| icanhasadmin | linkinxp: just ctrl+x, then "y" when it asks you if you want to save | 00:28 |
| icanhasadmin | linkinxp: ok don't break it :P | 00:28 |
| bod_ | guys, if i have a script that does this -- gksudo chmod 777 ./$@ why does it only work with files that dont have spaces in their name? | 00:28 |
| troxor | Codedragon: are there any known issues with your hardware? | 00:28 |
| Tylor-Van | Whats this all about? | 00:28 |
| Al2O3 | icanhasadmin: the network card, and ubuntu's notion of that card. Seems to have gone 'stale' or disconnected when my hub power cycled. | 00:28 |
| troxor | bod_: spaces delimit arguments | 00:29 |
| fat-head | anyone know of any good file splitter and joiners for linux ?? | 00:29 |
| bod_ | troxor, what does that mean? | 00:29 |
| icanhasadmin | Al203: you can rmmod the module driver for your card, then modprobe it back | 00:29 |
| Codedragon | troxor: not that I know of, windows worked find for years on it... | 00:29 |
| fat-head | anyone ? ^ | 00:29 |
| Tylor-Van | im confused | 00:29 |
| Al2O3 | ok, does that remove the mod from the kernel, and then reinsert? | 00:29 |
| nikrud | Tylor-Van see the topic , type /topic | 00:29 |
| icanhasadmin | bod_: because files with spaces in there names need a \ or a tab complete or "" | 00:29 |
| Don_Miguel | troxor: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61963/ Results of (1) sudo apt-get update | 00:29 |
| tobberoth | What is the loopback interface used for? | 00:30 |
| troxor | bod_: the shell isn't smart enough to know that the file has spaces | 00:30 |
| matt__ | anyone here want to explain to me how to use/setup vncveiwer/server? | 00:30 |
| bod_ | icanhasadmin, yer but why cant $@ handle that? | 00:30 |
| icanhasadmin | Al2O3: basically yes | 00:30 |
| Tylor-Van | ohhhhhh | 00:30 |
| troxor | fat-head: what type of files? | 00:30 |
| Tylor-Van | lol | 00:30 |
| matt__ | i wan to "controL" a downstairs computer from upstairs | 00:30 |
| Al2O3 | matt__: that is a big question | 00:30 |
| bod_ | troxor, yes it is, autocompletion handles spaces | 00:30 |
| Antireligion | how do i use the "locate" command to find links to files instead of the files proper? | 00:30 |
| Al2O3 | there are a ton of tutorials online for that. | 00:30 |
| matt__ | Al2O3: i've been trying a lot of them, but all i do is get confused. | 00:31 |
| Al2O3 | its a complex issue due in most part the need to not just install the vnc server, but also get a port forwarded thru your firewall | 00:31 |
| matt__ | Al2O3: do you personally know how? | 00:31 |
| linkinxp | icanhasadmin, i got it :D | 00:31 |
| Al2O3 | its a 10 million dollar question | 00:31 |
| icanhasadmin | linkinxp: yay :D | 00:31 |
| fat-head | troxor all files especially media | 00:31 |
| meheren | im trying to add a dash (4 numbers in) to the end of only 9 digit dumbers is there a perl or vim script to allow me to do this? | 00:31 |
| troxor | bod_: try this.. make a file called "cp -al", then do ls cp -al :) | 00:31 |
| Al2O3 | the number of possible configurations are limitless. | 00:31 |
| matt__ | Al2O3: ok...then it should be easy, i'm good at forwarding ports | 00:31 |
| icanhasadmin | matt__: do a google search for installing and using vnc | 00:31 |
| matt__ | icanhasadmin: i've been trying many tutorials, but i just get confused... | 00:31 |
| troxor | fat-head: it really depends on the filetype, mp3splt can split mp3s | 00:31 |
| matt__ | icanhasadmin: do you have a good one? | 00:31 |
| Al2O3 | matt__ seriously, that is the best thing to do, it is insanely insane. | 00:31 |
| linkinxp | icanhasadmin, now in Update Manager i have an update grayed out it says linux-restricted-modules-generic | 00:32 |
| linkinxp | whats that? | 00:32 |
| troxor | Don_Miguel: that looks fine- what's the eric.lavar repository for? | 00:32 |
| Mahora | woha! O_o | 00:32 |
| matt__ | Al2O3: alright, but do you have a tutorial that works? | 00:32 |
| bod_ | troxor, -rw-r--r-- 1 bod bod 0 2008-04-03 00:31 cp -al | 00:32 |
| Al2O3 | matt, I used to do customer support for a company that produced VNC servers and clients, and I'll tell ya, I personally changed our poslicy to a 150 bucks an hour policy. | 00:32 |
| icanhasadmin | linkinxp: er.. that's your restricted modules generic :P | 00:32 |
| bod_ | troxor, what did that prove? | 00:32 |
| Mahora | there`s more than 1000 people in this channel! O_o;; | 00:32 |
| Al2O3 | the possible configurations are mindnumbing | 00:32 |
| linkinxp | icanhasadmin, but ajajajjaaj why is there? why cant i download it? or go away ajajja | 00:32 |
| icanhasadmin | !enter | 00:32 |
| ubotu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:32 |
| troxor | bod_: that if you do `ls cp -al`, the -al are interpreted as arguments to ls | 00:32 |
| photon_ | I installed Open Office 2.4 from the official website (deb files). Now I'm being notified to "upgrade" to the 2.3 version available in the repository. Can I exclude Open Office from upgrades or maybe remove it from being tracked? | 00:32 |
| Don_Miguel | troxor, I pasted http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61963/ | 00:33 |
| Al2O3 | read up on it, there are just too man possibilities. Can take and often does hours for folks with trouble to solve. | 00:33 |
| Codedragon | troxor: no ideas? | 00:33 |
| troxor | thus, the part of the filename after the first space (unless escaped or enclosed by quotes) are interpreted as arguments | 00:33 |
| matt__ | Al2O3: yeah, i've figured it out. but as i've said, all i really want to do is "control" the downstairs computer. I keep noticing that the ubuntu/kubuntu's both include something called "remote desktop". i'm thinking it is all already there, i just don't know how to use it... | 00:33 |
| matt__ | but am i wrong? | 00:33 |
| fat-head | troxor what about .wmv .asf and .avi files ??? | 00:33 |
| === Paddy_EIRE is now known as WireShark | ||
| Flannel | photon_: Unless they've tweaked the version numbers something awful, you shouldn't be prompted for 2.3 updates. But yes, assuming you are, | 00:33 |
| Flannel | !pinning | photon_ | 00:33 |
| ubotu | photon_: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 00:33 |
| Al2O3 | I think you are right, remote desktop is likely vnc | 00:33 |
| linkinxp | matt__, just put the IP | 00:34 |
| Tylor-Van | yes | 00:34 |
| troxor | Codedragon: actually, more like "linux compatibility" with your hardware ;) | 00:34 |
| Tylor-Van | indeed | 00:34 |
| Al2O3 | I know apple use's ARD for their 'remote desktop' :) | 00:34 |
| Tylor-Van | i agree | 00:34 |
| icanhasadmin | matt_: well it actually works in Hardy.. wait a few days | 00:34 |
| Tylor-Van | mhm | 00:34 |
| FloodBot2 | Tylor-Van: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:34 |
| Al2O3 | so my guess is you are right, the remote desktop is VNC in linux | 00:34 |
| Al2O3 | ubuntu that is | 00:34 |
| === pooky-5ce8 is now known as Pooky | ||
| troxor | Codedragon: it could be something simple like putting noacpi at the end of the kernel argument list | 00:34 |
| Tylor-Van | ? | 00:34 |
| bod_ | troxor, actually i got that from a ls -lah if i try ls cp -al it thinks cp is the directory | 00:34 |
| karllenz87 | do 64bit drivers work on a 32bit system | 00:34 |
| matt__ | icanhasadmin: you mean the one is edgy doesn't work right out of the box? | 00:34 |
| linkinxp | nop | 00:34 |
| troxor | fat-head: wmv, asf: ew. avi, transcode will do it | 00:34 |
| matt__ | linkinxp: meaning??? | 00:34 |
| Codedragon | troxor: I had linux running on this computer before, its just ubuntu that is giving me the problems | 00:35 |
| icanhasadmin | Codedragon: i would try passing noacpi... | 00:35 |
| icanhasadmin | matt__: it just doesn't work... quite right... in edgy or gutsy, in my experiences. | 00:35 |
| bod_ | Codedragon, did you try removing all usb devices? | 00:35 |
| Gary | Tylor-Van: I suggest you read the pm I sent you regarding behaviour in this channel | 00:35 |
| karllenz87 | can anyone help with macbook santa rosa installation | 00:35 |
| troxor | Codedragon: ah, that's a good sign- do you remember the kernel version the other distro was using, by any chance? | 00:35 |
| fat-head | troxor does that split and join .wmv's?? | 00:36 |
| matt__ | icanhasadmin: alright...though: i've got the "server" setup with remote desktop, however, do i need to forward a port, AND how would i attempt to veiw this remote desktop | 00:36 |
| troxor | Don_Miguel: your pastebin output looks fine- what's the eric.lavar repository for? | 00:36 |
| Al2O3 | www.portforward.com | 00:37 |
| Al2O3 | check it out. | 00:37 |
| tired | can someone help me with an 8.04 update error?? | 00:37 |
| Al2O3 | tells you what you need to do and know for port forwarding. | 00:37 |
| troxor | fat-head: I'm not sure, actually- I avoid those :) | 00:37 |

| billy | how do i do that? | 00:37 |
| maarek_ | \me was afk | 00:38 |
| Al2O3 | you need to either open your firewall on your local machine/os, and/or on the hub you have which may have a firewall on it and enabled. | 00:38 |

| Antireligion | w | 00:38 |
| Antireligion | where are the totem plugins for firefox 3 in 8.04 located? | 00:38 |
| Al2O3 | and finally you do need to set your port (default to 5900) to what you would expect it to be. | 00:38 |
| maarek_ | what is the transparent IRC client that melds with the desktop? | 00:38 |
| billy | how can i share an internet connection from my windows comp over a crossover cable? | 00:38 |
| shadowhywind | hay all just upgraded to hardy, and now my scanner doesn't work, any ideas? | 00:38 |
| Al2O3 | 5900-5909 are the standard ports for VNC Server, on the world of linux they are desktops 0 thru 9 as I recall. | 00:38 |
| Al2O3 | and if you want to do reverse connection request to the client instead, from the server, that would usually be 5500 and then it would come back to you as I recall on 5900. Details of this are online. | 00:39 |
| icanhasadmin | billy: you need to use windows ICS, nothing to do with ubuntu | 00:39 |
| Al2O3 | there are ways around the firewall. | 00:39 |
| Codedragon | troxor: it was a slackware version but it was almost 3 years since I had it installed so the kernal ver was quite old.. :D the only new thing I added was the video card. | 00:39 |
| Al2O3 | but since this in your house, you should have control of it all anyway. | 00:39 |
| bruenig | hmm | 00:39 |
| billy | icanhasadmin: how do i do it? over a crossover cable? | 00:40 |
| icanhasadmin | billy: yes | 00:40 |
| troxor | Codedragon: slackware? then probably kernel 2.4 ;) | 00:40 |
| Al2O3 | I can say over 90% of our calls were about port forwarding. | 00:40 |
| billy | icanhasadmin: im noob dude lol. how do i do it like, do i set up static ip's on both comps? | 00:40 |

| joe12345 | or better yet, reenable my wifi card? | 00:47 |
| praktora | I am not able to connect to a wireless nework using ubuntu 7.10 . I am using pavilion Dv9000 with a broadcom 802.11g/b wireless. i read over 100 topics in the internet and nothing can find my a solution. Can anyone please help me ? | 00:48 |
| icanhasadmin | praktora: you have to explain your problem futher. is your wifi shown with iwconfig? | 00:49 |
| insomninja | joe12345, I guess it depends on the nature of the killswitch, but to restart networking you could open a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:49 |
| joe12345 | insomninja: sexy, thanks, I'll try that! | 00:49 |
| thiemster | the run menu has stopped coming up when I press alt-f2. How can I get it back? | 00:50 |
| thiemster | I'm in kubuntu 8.04 beta kde 3 edition, if that helps | 00:50 |
| praktora | icanhasadmin ok . Please tell me what things i need to check and i will restart and log with ubuntu and tell you | 00:50 |
| Codedragon | troxor: could be, i am not a linux guru.. | 00:50 |
| praktora | only iwconfig ? | 00:50 |
| FloodBot2 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 00:50 |
| danbhfive | thiemster: beta support is in ubuntu+1 | 00:51 |
| insomninja | joe12345, however it might be that the killswitch is "above" that (like actually being a hardware power switch or something) | 00:51 |
| Codedragon | troxor: i just would love to get ubuntu installed, so i get give windows the boot | 00:51 |
| praktora | icanhasadmin it is not shown | 00:52 |
| joe12345 | insomninja: i'm pretty sure it is a hardware power switch. problem is, it's "windized", and is the fn+f2 hotkey. It turned it off once, but will no longer turn it back on | 00:52 |
| icanhasadmin | praktora: you need to install working drivers, i believe madwifi supports broadcom 43xx, but i could be wrong | 00:52 |
| joe12345 | insomninja: oh, and i had no dice with the network restart :P. Same deal with dhclient. Is there a way to make ubuntu believe that there is wireless card? | 00:53 |
| joe12345 | then i could set up the wireless connection. | 00:53 |
| Don_Miguel | troxor, that http://eric.lavar.de seems to be for some "Third Party Software" result of sudo apt-get upgrade ---> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61965/ and I see some errors, but no idea how to fix them. | 00:54 |

| insomninja | joe12345, what network card model / latptop model do you have? | 00:55 |
| troxor | Codedragon: when the ubuntu CD boots up, choose the safe option (if available) | 00:55 |
| Dr_willis | billy____, give each a static ip. or install a dhcp server on the linux box is one way. | 00:56 |
| Dr_willis | billy, once eah has an ip. You can ping/transfer whatever. | 00:56 |
| Codedragon | troxor: ok, i'll try that.. brb | 00:56 |
| genii | billy____: Set static IP on each box with it's own IP as gateway/default router and make sure you can ping each other. | 00:56 |
| billy____ | dr_willis; i tried that but its not working | 00:56 |
| troxor | Codedragon: also, there should be a way to edit the kernel arguments- TAB or something- | 00:56 |
| troxor | Codedragon: add noacpi noapic at the end if the safe option doesn't work | 00:56 |

| powder^ | lool, firestarter is the name of my pc | 01:18 |
| Scunizi | Teoz, you have a couple of factors that you might not have taken into account.. first is if your ISP gives you a dynamic IP address it might have changed.. also your router is probably providing dhcp to your machine.. depending on setup that can change from boot to boot as well. | 01:18 |
| sumalr | powder^: use the Gparted Live CD | 01:18 |
| Codedragon | troxor: ok, well I'll download that and see if there is a difference. | 01:18 |
| sumalr | powder^: use that to partition | 01:18 |
| Teoz | apparently iptables is not a valid command | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, you could always make some alias's in your bashrc. | 01:18 |
| Teoz | in ubuntu | 01:18 |
| Teoz | I have a pretty static ip address, im sure | 01:18 |
| RandoCal | Ideally, i'd like an icon on my top panel, that just opens an SSH session automatically to my other linux box | 01:19 |
| sumalr | powder^: Here's a helpful website about partitioning: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, theres a tool that does that for gnome ive seen. It may be under hardy. | 01:19 |
| Teoz | when I enter my modem-cable IP address, does the dhcp really mess anythign up ? | 01:19 |
| Codedragon | troxor: you ever hear of a problem like i am having? | 01:19 |
| troxor | occasionally | 01:19 |
| Teoz | iptables does work after all! | 01:19 |
| RandoCal | Dr_willis: kk, i'll give that a try once i upgrade | 01:20 |
| Scunizi | Teoz the modem ip, or main ip doesn't have any relationship to the ip assigned by dhcp to your machine. | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, i cant find the name right now. :) it was some taskbar applet for gnome. ya enter the various ssh ip/options and it was just a simple menu. | 01:20 |
| hp | i have a very weird problem with my wireless | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, you could do about the same thing with a few scripts. easially enough | 01:21 |
| Scunizi | Teoz port forwarding in the router is done to your machines ip which is normally 192.168.x.xxx .. this the ip assigned by dhcp in your router. | 01:21 |
| RandoCal | Can I launch terminal with a switch command to have it autoconnect to a specific IP with a specific username? | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, sshmenu - A standalone and a Gnome panel applet for connecting to hosts using SSH | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, most of the terminalapps have a -e EXEXUTE SOMTHING option | 01:22 |
| * RandoCal goes to find sshmenu and try it | 01:22 | |
| Dr_willis | xterm -e 'ssh whatever ' | 01:22 |
| Teoz | Scunizi: yes I agree that port forwarding is the router getting a request for a certain port from the internet and a certain port is associated with a certain internal IP + said port | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | !info sshmenu | 01:22 |
| ubotu | Package sshmenu does not exist in gutsy | 01:22 |
| Pici | !info is broken | 01:23 |
| ubotu | Package is does not exist in gutsy | 01:23 |
| Scunizi | teoz, some ISP's block know ports, like port 80 & 21 | 01:23 |

| iwkse | hi there, why alsaconf is not reachable on ubuntu/kubuntu? | 01:24 |
| sumalr | Teoz: modify the host's openssh daemon config file (sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config) | 01:24 |
| sumalr | Teoz: Then change port 22 to Port XXXXX | 01:24 |
| RandoCal | yup, doesn't exist in gutsy | 01:24 |

| RandoCal | I'm pretty new to running a linux machine as my desktop OS..... i've had a couple linux servers for a while, and would normally just use putty to admin them. Now i'm looking to admin them from my Ubuntu box, do people generally just use the included terminal app? or is there better terminal programs that most tend to use? | 01:26 |
| Don_Miguel | troxor, see the link ... what is the sudo command to copy available-old to available (both in /var/lib/dpkg) ?? and I guess I also need to CD to /var/lib/dpkg ... first ... | 01:26 |
| bastid_raZor | RandoCal; ssh is your best friend in this instance | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | RandoCal, Terminal Services Client if you have a gui on the server or ssh is the better option from the command line. | 01:27 |
| RandoCal | so just run terminal from my accesories, and then ssh over like i've been doing | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | yep | 01:27 |
| RandoCal | cool | 01:28 |
| troxor | Don_Miguel: `sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available{,.backup} && sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available{-old,}` <-- fancy way | 01:28 |
| sumalr | Teoz: I'm not sure though you can use anything up to 60000 | 01:28 |
| iwkse | RandoCal: man ssh for details | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, make an alias for each machines with the proper ssh command. Is rahter easy. | 01:28 |
| sumalr | Teoz: Lots of options there | 01:28 |
| Teoz | sumalr: I'll have to get out my lucky numers now | 01:28 |
| RandoCal | i'm able to SSH across no problems, i know how to get connected, i'm just looking for an easier way, rather than having to type in "ssh -l username ipaddress" each time | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | RandoCal, i tend to just use xterms, or gnome-terminal. thers others you can try. for X based terminals. Be sure to learn to use screen. | 01:28 |
| sumalr | Teoz: make you write it down so you won't get locked out | 01:28 |
| sumalr | *sure | 01:29 |
| troxor | Don_Miguel: or sudo -s , then cd /var/lib/dpkg/, then mv them around :) | 01:29 |

I disconnected my ubuntu drive and put the other in the master position and booted to the windows install cd and did the 3.5hr install with updates. then I reinstalled the ubuntu drive and re-wrote grub to where it normally was.

| sumalr | Geekthras: I would go into the command line (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and reinstall GNOME desktop | 01:40 |
| Synclair | then it started asking for pulseaudio's header files | 01:40 |
| balthazarguy | Anyone that can tell me how to fix it? | 01:40 |
| Synclair | and there's where my problems started | 01:41 |
| sumalr | balthazarguy: What are you trying to fix? | 01:41 |
| Ace2016 | Synclair: Go to this link and just add the correct lne into your fstab, thats all you need to do https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.5.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI | 01:41 |

| Pelo | thanks Pici | 01:43 |
| Synclair | now I'm downloading the binary | 01:43 |
| Ace2016 | Synclair: add for example deb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian feisty non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list then reload in synaptic and install, | 01:43 |

| sumalr | balthazarguy: Tick all the boxes in Software Sources (main, restricted, universe, multiverse) | 01:43 |

| tobberoth | Pelo: I might get help in japanese, and since my terminal doesn't support japanese, that might be an issue | 01:45 |
| Flavius | ok sorry | 01:45 |
| balthazarguy | Sumalr: Umm, I don't have a Main, Restricted, Unviverse, Multiverse option. | 01:45 |
| sumalr | balthazarguy: Using the Synaptic Package Manager? | 01:45 |
| balthazarguy | Ah, you said Software sources, so I was lookin in there. | 01:45 |
| Teoz | so, any chance of port scanning with my command prompt under win xp ? | 01:46 |
| Synclair | it's ok | 01:46 |
| Pelo | tobberoth, but they migth be able to tell you how to instll japanese support , in anycase, do a apt-cache search *-jp and see what comes up , you might just need a few extra packages you might be able to figure it out by yourself | 01:46 |
| Synclair | check in repositories option | 01:46 |
| tobberoth | Pelo: Thanks, I'll try | 01:46 |
| Synclair | click on add | 01:46 |
| Pici | Teoz: Ask in ##windows, and no, not without 3rd party software | 01:46 |

| Teoz | thanks Pici and Pelo | 01:46 |
| Pelo | sinbox, and backport in the 3rd tab | 01:46 |
| balthazarguy | Sumalr: DO I want Software Sources or the Package Manager? | 01:46 |
| Pelo | balthazarguy, both | 01:47 |
| tobberoth | Pelo: You can't put * in search terms :/ regexp error | 01:47 |
| sumalr | balthazarguy: Package Manager | 01:47 |
| sumalr | balthazarguy: Check all the ones in "Downloadable from the Internet" | 01:47 |
| Pelo | tobberoth, try with just -jp then . but if you have access to gui searching in synaptic might be faster | 01:47 |
| balthazarguy | Kk.. I don't see those options in either one tho.. | 01:47 |
| balthazarguy | Kk. | 01:48 |
| tobberoth | Pelo: It thinks -jp is an argument and doesn't recognize it.. and no, I have no GUI :/ | 01:48 |
| sumalr | balthazarguy: in parantheses, it says main, universe, restricted, multiverse | 01:48 |
| Pelo | tobberoth, just jp then | 01:48 |
| Pelo | tobberoth, or '-jp' | 01:48 |
| balthazarguy | Sumalr: Ah, next to the catagories then? | 01:48 |
| tobberoth | Pelo: Yeah, I did try that. It gave me like a million results ^^ I'll try the single quotes and see if I can find something, thanks | 01:48 |
| Pelo | tobberoth, I'm checking in synpatic for you ( gives you an idea how bored I am) | 01:49 |

| Daniel3 | I can't copy a folder to my /boot folder for some reason. It says that I don't have permissions, but I am admin. | 02:21 |
| bobbyyu | veynom: Anything? | 02:22 |
| LjL | Khajavi: they're paths, not URLs. you should probably, well, not run a web server and a wiki on it, if you don't know how to get to terms with the basic installation of moinmoin. no offense, but unless you're going to run this only inside a private and secure LAN, it'll just cause you trouble. and hacking. | 02:22 |
| roychr1 | I want to install google's toolbar but it says it only works on linux with glibc equal or higher than 2.3.5 | 02:22 |

| veynom | MeatGrinder: I use partition magic and it works fine, but thats me | 02:49 |
| talcite_ | Does anyone here have experience with ssh and passkeys? | 02:49 |
| Gilou | I do | 02:49 |
| geZe | hi, i have a question about this howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=703409 "Aga*in, unzip it and cd into that (src) directory using terminal." <- what exactly should i do? there are about 50 files in there | 02:49 |
| MeatGrinder | veynom, from windows | 02:50 |
| veynom | is that a question? | 02:50 |
| geZe | maybe cp them? just cd into another directory seems pointless | 02:50 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: backupting /home is not suffiecent | 02:50 |
| veynom | I have partition magic installed under my windows partition of my dual boot system | 02:50 |
| roychr1 | I recently installed ubuntu 7.10 on my Dell Dimension 4500S and I am using a lenovo USB keyboard. They numeric keypad on the right does not work. I enable or disable nu lock (the light goes on and off) but I canot use the numbers. Any ideas? | 02:51 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, can i use partimage? | 02:51 |
| DariusTheoNoir | well...depends on what he has...if you've installed a bunch of stuff and you want it again, use something like apt-on-cd to create a second install disk--prevents you from having to download all the stuff you did before | 02:51 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: I don't know about it. | 02:52 |
| veynom | roychr1: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=223028 | 02:52 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: you can remaster your linux to backup it | 02:52 |
| DariusTheoNoir | I've reinstalled my system about 5 times (experimenting with other distros--I must say that I keep coming back to this one) | 02:52 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, i don't understand what you mean by remaster | 02:53 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: remastersys and reconstructors are softwars that backup your system by remastering your system | 02:53 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, guess i need to read up on those | 02:54 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: try to install reconstructor. | 02:54 |
| cookiemonster078 | i need help with my dvd burner /etc/fstab has it as a cdrom. how do I correct this | 02:55 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, is it an imaging app? | 02:55 |
| billy | whats the diff between KDE and GNOME? | 02:55 |
| billy | and xclient? | 02:55 |
| DariusTheoNoir | KDE has a less intuitive interface | 02:55 |
| DariusTheoNoir | in my opinion | 02:55 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: it create a live cd or dvd from your current ubuntu | 02:55 |
| MeatGrinder | KDE is cluttered, in my opinion | 02:55 |
| alan_m | KDE is a lot more graphically intensive than gnome billy. | 02:56 |
| billy | so why would you use it over gnome? | 02:56 |
| DariusTheoNoir | I don't ;) | 02:56 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, ah! so it creates an image that fits on a disc. Nice! | 02:56 |
| alan_m | billy, because its more beautiful to some and it looks somewhat like the windows GUI. | 02:56 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, sounds like I might need to use DVD, I take it the program will span across CDs | 02:56 |
| billy | then why not just stick with windows? lol.. thats part of the reason i switched lol | 02:56 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: yes | 02:56 |
| kumarphilly | does anyone here use xchat? | 02:56 |
| DariusTheoNoir | I use windowmaker, twm or gnome...but tend to get annoyed at all the Krap | 02:56 |
| alan_m | kumarphilly, i am..right now. | 02:57 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, reconstructor is not in Synaptic :( | 02:57 |
| DariusTheoNoir | I use it | 02:57 |
| Scunizi | kumarphilly, yep | 02:57 |
| billy | now wuts the difference between xclient and gnome.. its the same thing as far as when i change session the same thing ends up comin up | 02:57 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: warring: it does not backup your personal data from /home | 02:57 |
| kumarphilly | alan_m, maybe I should ask in #xchat but how do I get time stamps | 02:57 |
| balthazarguy | Hey guys, I need some help, someone on here earlier gave m ea guide for Nvidia driver installation.. it didn't work.. | 02:57 |
| DariusTheoNoir | xchat = simple...easy...no frills | 02:57 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, ok | 02:57 |
| Scunizi | billy, you mean xfce4? as in xubuntu | 02:57 |
| pen | custom columns in nautilus? is it possible? | 02:57 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: active your univese repository | 02:58 |
| billy | Scunizi: no.. xclient.. | 02:58 |
| deniz__ | how do you make automatic numbering of pages in openoffice.org writer? | 02:58 |
| balthazarguy | Anyone be abel to help me? | 02:58 |
| billy | Scunizi: when you go to options at the login screen and click change session, theres xclient, gnome, and KDE | 02:58 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, ok | 02:58 |
| Scunizi | billy.. x is your screen. there are x programs that run in a terminal.. like xclock | 02:58 |
| iNoob | Ok.. i did something and now my window manager is gone.. does anyone know what i can do to get it back? | 02:58 |
| alan_m | kumarphilly, im not sure, id have to figure that out myself because timestamps are off for me. | 02:58 |
| billy | Scunizi: kinda gotcha lol | 02:59 |
| kumarphilly | alan_m, yah its driving me nuts now! | 02:59 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, hmm, universe is activated in Synaptic yet I still can't find it | 02:59 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: another alternate is remastersys. you can find it from mint repository | 02:59 |
| Scunizi | billy, x is not a windows manager.. gnome, kde, xfce4, enlightenment, those are windows managers. | 02:59 |
| DariusTheoNoir | and of course...there's always ion | 03:00 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, ok i'll try and find that and add it manually | 03:00 |
| billy | Scunizi: oh okay.. yeah i kinda got it now lol | 03:00 |
| iNoob | Scunizi, gnome, kde, xfce4, enlightenment are not window managers... emerald, gtk, etc are | 03:00 |
| kumarphilly | anyone wondering its /set stamp_text on | 03:00 |
| kumarphilly | test | 03:00 |
| Khajav1 | MeatGrinder: ok, have a good time. bye | 03:00 |
| kumarphilly | uh oh | 03:00 |
| MeatGrinder | Khajav1, thanks! :) | 03:00 |
| Scunizi | iNoob.. true.. but he got the meaning. | 03:00 |
| kumarphilly | there we go | 03:00 |
| iNoob | yeah haha | 03:00 |
| kumarphilly | now thats what I call IRC | 03:00 |
| iNoob | Ok.. i did something and now my window manager is gone.. does anyone know what i can do to get it back? | 03:00 |

| genii | billy: There's an extremely long list of x<programname here> | 03:04 |
| Gilou | ej> "tries" ? | 03:04 |
| koolkat | hi | 03:04 |
| billy | genii: where do i find that list? | 03:04 |
| iNoob | soo.. anyone? | 03:04 |
| Gilou | ej> you want to use netstat probably | 03:04 |
| Gilou | but if you want to really know what's going on, tcpdump is your friend | 03:05 |
| ej | oh yes netstat i didnt remember that one lol | 03:05 |
| Gilou | of wireshark | 03:05 |
| Gilou | for the GUI | 03:05 |
| Gilou | :) | 03:05 |
| Johnson_ | Gilou, so instead of ssh-ing or tunneling into the folder I should sshfs? | 03:05 |
| FloodBot2 | Gilou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:05 |
| ej | i think wireshark would be best | 03:05 |
| koolkat | do they make shockwave for linux? | 03:05 |
| ej | itsa an incarnation of ethereal right? | 03:05 |
| Gilou | Johnson_> if you prefer to have it mounted locally yeah.. | 03:05 |
| Gilou | ej> it's ethereal :) | 03:05 |
| AlabamaHit | Hi, there everyone :0 | 03:06 |
| AlabamaHit | This is my first trip with linux :/ | 03:06 |
| lindzeyn | arp -a | 03:06 |
| lindzeyn | mb | 03:06 |
| ej | i actually dont have gui access to the system i'm trying to troubleshoot | 03:06 |
| Gilou | ah, well tcpdump then | 03:06 |
| ChaosTheory | So here are the instructions I am following -- they come from the ndiswrapper file itself (INSTALL): http://pastebin.com/m79748fda | 03:06 |
| zcat[1] | koolkat: you can run windows firefox in wine and install the windows shockwave plugin I think | 03:06 |
| turdega | Is anyone else getting no covers found from Exaile audio player?? | 03:07 |
| ChaosTheory | I can do make uninstall, but make gives me this: http://pastebin.com/m2d2f4f12 | 03:07 |
| ej | i used to have ssh access and gui access thru NX server but of late i'm unable to connect with either method | 03:07 |
| ChaosTheory | Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? =\ | 03:07 |
| LoLeN | how can i turn on a pc from the network? | 03:07 |
| koolkat | zcat[1], so, i guessing they dont | 03:07 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> you lack development libraries here | 03:07 |
| koolkat | make it for windows | 03:07 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: How do I install them? | 03:07 |
| koolkat | i mean linux | 03:07 |
| Gilou | try something like apt-get build-dep ndiswrapper | 03:07 |
| lihux | 这里支持中文吗? | 03:08 |
| dek | I have some text in shell that is like ":s:TEXT", with what command can I remove ":s:" so as to get only TEXT? | 03:08 |
| ej | the thing is that i can only connect via ssh or nx server if i'm connected to the local network | 03:08 |
| ChaosTheory | It's asking me if another process is using it. . . | 03:08 |
| ej | or if i'm on the same ip range | 03:08 |
| ChaosTheory | Unable to lock the administration directory. | 03:08 |
| Gilou | dek> cut -d: -f3 | 03:08 |
| Johnson_ | Gilou, hmm this seems like ubuntu has this functionality built in, where I can mount a network location onto my desktop. this is similar no? | 03:09 |
| dek | Gilou: and if it had no delimiter : and ":s:" was another string like "abbc" ? | 03:09 |
| Trikdo | question... if i install the 8.04 beta, will i have to reinstall ubuntu when the final release comes, or can i just update to it? | 03:09 |
| Gilou | Johnson_> I don't think gnome vfs has support for sshfs, it's a fuse feature | 03:09 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 03:09 |
| ChaosTheory | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 03:09 |
| rycole | hey guys, i'm about to grab apache, and i see apache2.2-common listed in apt-cache... is this the webserver, or something for it? i'm not sure what the '-common' suffix means. | 03:09 |
| rshives | What is the fuse group, and what is it for? | 03:09 |
| Gilou | dek> you'd have to use sed | 03:09 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: That's the result of sudo apt-get build-dep ndiswrapper. | 03:09 |
| Gilou | or awk | 03:09 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> sudo ... | 03:09 |
| Gilou | or | 03:10 |
| Gilou | ah | 03:10 |
| Gilou | sorry, didn't read properly... | 03:10 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> you already have an instance of the package manager running in a way somewhere else | 03:10 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: How do I close it? | 03:10 |
| Gilou | update-manager or synaptic | 03:10 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: I don't have either open on the panel. . . | 03:10 |
| Gilou | see that cross at the top, on the right? ;) | 03:10 |
| dek | Gilou: thanks | 03:10 |
| balthazarguy | Hey guys, can someone help me with a Nvidia problem in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy? | 03:11 |
| Trikdo | whats your nvidia problem in gutsy? | 03:11 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: I don't have either open? I have: Firefox, terminal, this, and "INSTALL" in gedit. | 03:11 |
| rycole | er, 'apt-get install' tells me "Module alias installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable. | 03:11 |
| genii | billy: I'm not sure any comprehensive list of X<appname> exists that I can find. | 03:12 |
| rycole | how do i force-reload? | 03:12 |
| Gilou | rycole> /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload as told? | 03:12 |
| balthazarguy | Trikdo: Installing the drivers.. someone earlier told me to use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368&highlight=latest+nvidia+drives guide.. but I got stopped about halfway through, I don't know why it's not taking the command.. | 03:12 |
| talcite_ | hey guys, did you hear? firestarter's in trouble | 03:12 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> well, do something like lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 03:12 |
| rycole | ah, guess i comprehended that wrong. :P | 03:12 |
| genii | rycole: eg: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload | 03:12 |
| Gilou | to see what's happening | 03:12 |
| talcite_ | their upstream maintainer went kapoot | 03:12 |
| balthazarguy | sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7667-pkg2.run I get to here, and it says it can't open the file. | 03:12 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: I did that and I ran apt-get again and I got the same thing. | 03:13 |
| balthazarguy | I'm assuming it means it can't find it because I typed in random gibberish and it said it couldn't find it. | 03:13 |

| owen1 | Gilou: where can i get mono? | 03:16 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> did you kill your update manager or something like that? | 03:16 |
| Teoz | is there any reason that after insalling ssh and telling ssh to listen to another port (other than default 22), I should also make modifications to Ubuntu firewall ? all this lan context | 03:16 |
| stercor | kiss a lot of girls??? | 03:16 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: I'm not sure. How do I kill it? | 03:16 |

| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Removing which file? | 03:17 |
| Gilou | /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 03:17 |
| AndrewB | ChaosTheory: make sure you don't have Add/Remove or any other package manager running. and that you are running as root [sudo] | 03:17 |
| MeatGrinder | I'm looking for solutions for full system backup, preferably making images like acronis trueimage in windows | 03:17 |

| zcat[1] | MeatGrinder: partimage ? | 03:18 |
| ChaosTheory | AndrewB: I mean, anything like Synaptic or Add/Remove. | 03:18 |

| MeatGrinder | zcat[1], thanks ill ck it out | 03:18 |
| ChaosTheory | AndrewB: It's not on the panel. . . | 03:18 |
| AndrewB | Hm ok | 03:18 |
| Scunizi | owen1, why paint.net.. what's so needed about it? | 03:19 |
| balthazarguy | Can anyone help me with an Nvidia problem please? | 03:19 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: because it's a great app. easier than photoshop and gimp. | 03:19 |
| AndrewB | balthazarguy: it is normally better to just ask the question. :) | 03:19 |
| ChaosTheory | AndrewB: Any ideas? | 03:20 |
| Scunizi | owen1, have you tried krita? | 03:20 |
| balthazarguy | Andrewb: Hehe, aiight. | 03:20 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: no..but i will right now! | 03:20 |
| Scunizi | owen1, it's in the repos.. but here's info http://koffice.org/krita/ | 03:20 |
| balthazarguy | I need to install Nvidia drivers... someone earlier told me to use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368&highlight=latest+nvidia+drives guide.. but I got stopped about halfway through, I don't know why it's not taking the command.. I tested some random gibberish just to see.. and it gave me the same error (Can't open the file) so I'm assuming it means it can't find it. | 03:21 |
| balthazarguy | Sorry, the sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg2.run command. | 03:21 |
| balthazarguy | Says it's can't open the file. | 03:21 |
| PiousMinion | If I somehow deleted my xorg.conf, what would be the ubuntu(easy) way of recreating it? | 03:21 |
| powder^ | omg, now.. I have to see if ATI9600 works in ubuntu | 03:22 |
| nickrud | owen1 according to http://code.google.com/p/paint-mono/ you need to use the unreleased developement version of mono | 03:22 |
| owen1 | nickrud: ok.. | 03:22 |
| AndrewB | ChaosTheory: a restart may solve it? | 03:23 |
| Scunizi | powder^, it does.. | 03:23 |
| balthazarguy | .. Anyone able to help? If I can't fix this problem I'll have to go back to windows :/ | 03:23 |
| ChaosTheory | Okay, I'll try that. | 03:23 |
| AndrewB | balthazarguy: try sudo chmod +x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg2.run | 03:23 |
| nickrud | PiousMinion sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg | 03:23 |
| balthazarguy | Do I type it in exactly like that? | 03:23 |
| jrib | balthazarguy: the recommended way to install the nvidia drivers is to use the Restricted Driver Manager | 03:23 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, maybe sh ./<filename> | 03:23 |
| AndrewB | balthazarguy: sure | 03:23 |
| PiousMinion | I'd hate to have to completely reinstall ubuntu to recreate my xorg.conf. | 03:23 |
| nickrud | PiousMinion did you see my last, above? | 03:24 |
| balthazarguy | How do I do the whole file thing.. never done paths in linux.. would it be... /home/<username>/<file>? | 03:24 |
| Scunizi | yes | 03:24 |
| PiousMinion | nickrud: actually, I missed that, but I see it now. thanks | 03:24 |
| balthazarguy | Hrmm.. | 03:24 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: i am trying it now. stay here if u want my opinion. | 03:24 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, or cd /home/username then the simple command to run | 03:24 |
| MeatGrinder | can one unmount / while in ubuntu? It seems I can't use partimage without unmounting partitions which makes sense to me | 03:25 |
| Scunizi | owen1, ok | 03:25 |
| AndrewB | MeatGrinder: no, best run from a live cd | 03:25 |
| MeatGrinder | ah yes, very good thank you andrewB | 03:25 |
| balthazarguy | Scunizi: Command to run? | 03:25 |
| balthazarguy | I've only been at this a little while.. I just barely got the internet up after 2 days of trying to get it up. | 03:25 |
| Scunizi | MeatGrinder, if you're using the partimage cd and boot to it.. it works.. you can't unmount / while you're in ubuntu because you would then not be using it. | 03:26 |
| balthazarguy | Have no clue what the command ot run is. | 03:26 |
| balthazarguy | to* | 03:26 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, sudo sh etc.. etc.. etc.. | 03:26 |
| balthazarguy | Kk.. | 03:26 |
| ChaosTheory | AndrewB: What's the command to install the library again? | 03:26 |
| AndrewB | ChaosTheory: what do you mean? | 03:26 |
| ChaosTheory | AndrewB: ndiswrapper | 03:26 |
| balthazarguy | So... cd/home/username sudo sh <driver>? | 03:27 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Are you here? | 03:27 |
| AndrewB | ChaosTheory: no idea, never had ndiswrapper | 03:27 |
| AndrewB | balthazarguy: there is a space after cd | 03:27 |
| ChaosTheory | AndrewB: Oh, okay. | 03:27 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> I am | 03:27 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, just cd /home/username/directory of file.. if it's on the desktop it's cd /home/username/Desktop | 03:27 |
| RPClancy_ | Hello, all. | 03:27 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: What's the first command you told me to do again? Since I'm missing some libraries? | 03:27 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, then ls to view the files in that directory to verify you're in the right place. | 03:27 |
| AndrewB | Scunizi: remember ~ will take him to his user's home. It can sometimes be easier. say cd ~/ or cd ~/Desktop | 03:28 |
| balthazarguy | Scunizi/Andrew: What would be the whole string I would need to type then? I'm so confused with all the strings you guys just threw at me lol | 03:28 |
| DariusTheoNoir | anyone notice that removable drives only automount when fstab hasn't already reserved the device (in my case sdb1) | 03:28 |
| alan_m | where are we taking him guys? | 03:28 |
| genii | balthazarguy: I think your problem stems from the fact the file referred to is no longer called NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg2.run since there was a new release | 03:28 |
| Scunizi | AndrewB, true.. but I've tried that in creating links while building a menu launcher and it balked at it.. I had to do the full path... either way in this case. | 03:29 |
| DariusTheoNoir | well...in general I have noticed a lot of automounting issues | 03:29 |
| balthazarguy | Genii: I just DLd it today. | 03:29 |
| geZe | balthazarguy, where did you actually save the file? | 03:29 |
| balthazarguy | Genii: I actually renamed it and was using the new name. | 03:29 |
| alteregoa | high | 03:29 |
| balthazarguy | Umm, i have it at.. | 03:29 |
| alteregoa | heh i got a problem with gnome-keyring-manager | 03:29 |
| alan_m | Andrew, scunizi, where are we taking this guy...my next response is determined on this | 03:29 |
| balthazarguy | /home/username/nvidia.run | 03:29 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: ? | 03:29 |
| alan_m | nevermind then :) | 03:30 |
| alteregoa | after update a few packets there is a error with this packet, a | 03:30 |

| lindzeyn | Question, do the proprietary drivers in Ubuntu get automatically updated? | 03:30 |
| deniz__ | how do u double space in openoffice.org writer? | 03:30 |
| cocox_ | Hi there, do you know where could i find the file where keyboard shortcuts are stored because i would like to make an script for automatic edit them... | 03:30 |
| geZe | alright, try "cd /home/username/" then "sudo sh ./nvidia.run" | 03:30 |
| genii | lindzeyn: Yes | 03:30 |
| lindzeyn | Good eal | 03:30 |
| lindzeyn | *deal | 03:31 |
| nickrud | lindzeyn they can, but haven't (at least for ati) | 03:31 |
| balthazarguy | Kk. | 03:31 |
| alteregoa | i used envy for that | 03:31 |
| alan_m | Scunizi, ah, ok, wasnt trying to step over you two, was just trying to figure out where we were going :) | 03:31 |
| genii | lindzeyn: Then the restricted manager asks you if you might want to use the newer one | 03:31 |
| lindzeyn | Cool | 03:31 |
| Scunizi | alan_m, no.. by all means.. help him.. I'm not very good installing nvidia binary drivers. | 03:31 |
| DariusTheoNoir | I almost never play around with short-cuts...because inevitably, they always collide with other more important shortcuts that I didn't think about when I created the thing | 03:31 |
| alteregoa | those mad stuff, i can't figure it out where to find this keyringmanager | 03:31 |

| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Can't I get it from the internet? | 03:34 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> put it in, or configure your apt source files... | 03:34 |
| Gilou | read docs | 03:34 |
| Scunizi | carlzenox, you mean for seo data? | 03:34 |
| balthazarguy | Scu: the restricted driver manager isn't working, says i have to have nvidia-glx-new installed. | 03:35 |
| rycole | does anyone know why apache modules are named modname.load, as opposed to the default modname.so / | 03:35 |
| Gilou | you're being... tiring :) | 03:35 |
| rycole | on ubuntu. | 03:35 |
| DariusTheoNoir | uh oh...someones installing glx....whew! | 03:35 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, install it from synaptic.. system/administration/synaptic | 03:35 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Okay, nevermind, I found my CD. | 03:35 |
| code_kill | i got a issue with vnc and router. can somone help me out real quick? | 03:35 |
| Gilou | rycole> these are only configuration file | 03:35 |
| Gilou | asking to load the .so modules | 03:35 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Okay, it seems to have worked? | 03:36 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, you mean getting into a pc on your lan from outside? some ISP's block the standard ports.. but not usually.. | 03:36 |
| Gilou | I wouldn't know? | 03:36 |
| rycole | oh, so where do the .so modules reside ? | 03:36 |
| balthazarguy | Scun: How do I tell it where to search for my file then? | 03:36 |
| Gilou | rycole> read the content of the .load file | 03:36 |
| Gilou | it will lead you to the truth | 03:36 |
| genii | code_kill: ports 5800 or 5801 and 5900 or 5901 normally | 03:36 |
| rycole | ah, haha. | 03:36 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, once in synaptic.. hit the search button and type in nvidia | 03:36 |
| nickrud | balthazarguy a rule of thumb: if something in ubuntu says <something> needs to be installed, system->admin->synaptic , ctl-f (find) and search for <something> | 03:36 |
| Kickboy | Hey all! I've been running the Hardy beta for a couple weeks now, and everything has been pretty smooth so far. Until I updated my packages a few days ago: Now compiz-fusion won't work, and can't find any debug information that could tell me why. When I try to enable "Extra" effects in "Appearance" I get the message "Desktop effects could not be enabled". Kinda stuck as to what to do from here. Anybody got suggestions? | 03:36 |
| code_kill | well, it's notwhat ose one private ip at a time.?, where i allow exceptions, i can only chois my ip blocked, but under applications | 03:36 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Yes! "make" works now! | 03:37 |
| balthazarguy | Nick: Synaptic doesn't have it. | 03:37 |
| Scunizi | Kickboy, join #ubuntu+1 | 03:37 |
| balthazarguy | Otherwise I would have been done long ago :P | 03:37 |
| AndrewB | !hardy > Kickboy (please see pm) | 03:37 |
| nickrud | balthazarguy doesn't have nvidia-glx-new? | 03:37 |
| DariusTheoNoir | kickboy...compiz worked for gutsy? | 03:37 |
| Synclair | hey there | 03:37 |
| code_kill | when i try to add two like.....101 and 107, it doesnt let me due to having to input two seperate times tyhe vnc application. | 03:37 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, it does | 03:37 |
| code_kill | was that clear? | 03:37 |
| Kickboy | ah ok, thanks Scunizi | 03:37 |
| nickrud | !gutsysources | balthazarguy (do this, then check again) | 03:37 |
| ubotu | balthazarguy (do this, then check again): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 03:37 |
| Synclair | does anybody have a Creative Zen V | 03:37 |
| Synclair | ? | 03:37 |
| Kickboy | DariusTheoNoir: Yes it did | 03:37 |
| DariusTheoNoir | ah...bug it | 03:38 |
| Kickboy | DariusTheoNoir: and it worked on hardy a couple days ago | 03:38 |
| code_kill | basically, i can get it to work from outside my network, but only can specify one host at a time. | 03:38 |

| Synclair | can somebody help me? | 03:38 |
| cocox_ | Hi there, do you know where could i find the file where keyboard shortcuts are stored because i would like to make an script for automatic edit them... | 03:38 |
| nickrud | !components | balthazarguy The first thing you need to learn about ubuntu is how software packages are organized and available. These links will give you a good overview. | 03:38 |
| ubotu | balthazarguy The first thing you need to learn about ubuntu is how software packages are organized and available. These links will give you a good overview.: 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 | 03:38 |
| Synclair | I managed to install gonmad2, libmtp and libnjb | 03:38 |
| Synclair | but it won't recognize my device | 03:38 |
| Synclair | and if I do lsusb it appears | 03:39 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, for several machines you'll need to set different ports for each one. | 03:39 |
| DariusTheoNoir | yeah, don't compile you own stuff if you got better alternatives in the package repo | 03:39 |
| code_kill | i thought vnc had to use 5900? | 03:39 |
| balthazarguy | Ok lemme try again.. | 03:39 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, nope that's just the default | 03:39 |
| PiousMinion | 5900+n where n = the screen number. | 03:39 |
| code_kill | but also, i have to specify everytime the application, so i can only put vnc in once. | 03:39 |
| kindofabuzz | solexious: Kismet | 03:40 |
| solexious | kindofbuzz: thank you :) | 03:40 |
| code_kill | when i try a second forward with different address, it wont let me call another forward using same servioce? | 03:40 |
| Scunizi | PiousMinion, he's trying to access several different machines on his lan from outside.. | 03:40 |
| genii | PiousMinion: Yes, the xterm :x + 5800 or 5900 | 03:40 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: Okay, everything works now except "modprobe ndiswrapper" | 03:40 |
| code_kill | yep | 03:40 |
| Gilou | that's a problem lol :) | 03:40 |
| code_kill | scunizi | 03:40 |
| nickrud | cocox_ they're kinda scattered ... | 03:41 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, maybe not at the same time. but I never tried multiple instances of vnc with different port numbers. | 03:41 |
| code_kill | i have a linksys | 03:41 |
| balthazarguy | Chaos: trying to get Ndiswrapper to work? | 03:41 |
| ChaosTheory | Gilou: FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory | 03:41 |
| ChaosTheory | Balthazarguy: Yes. | 03:41 |
| balthazarguy | Chaos: I had the same trouble, here is what you need. | 03:41 |
| balthazarguy | Chaos: Download Ndisgtk | 03:41 |
| balthazarguy | And install that. | 03:41 |
| code_kill | for example (service) - (port) - address | 03:41 |
| balthazarguy | Then try and use Ndiswrapper | 03:41 |
| code_kill | i cant do this.... | 03:41 |
| === roaksoax_ is now known as RoAkSoAx | ||
| Scunizi | code_kill, not sure what you mean.. | 03:41 |
| code_kill | vnc 5900 192.168.1.100 and | 03:41 |
| code_kill | vnc 5900 192.168.1.106 | 03:42 |
| code_kill | at the same time | 03:42 |
| RPClancy_ | I am a new linux user, Which Distro would be best for me? | 03:42 |
| code_kill | only one forward rule with vnc at a time. it's fucking nnoying | 03:42 |
| code_kill | ubuntu | 03:42 |
| kindofabuzz | RPClancy_: Ubuntu! | 03:42 |
| code_kill | or a redhat | 03:42 |
| jrib | RPClancy_: ubuntu is a great distro for beginners, but of course you are asking in #ubuntu | 03:42 |
| kindofabuzz | no redhat | 03:42 |
| code_kill | but i sujjest learning some frebsd | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, the machine accepting the connection from outside has to have a unique port.. then in the router you have to build a port forwarding sceme for each meachine. | 03:42 |
| nickrud | !language | code_kill | 03:42 |
| ubotu | code_kill: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:42 |
| ChaosTheory | balthazarguy: I think I'm almost finished with the installation. . . | 03:42 |
| Gilou | ChaosTheory> you didn't do "sudo make install" | 03:43 |
| Gilou | probably | 03:43 |
| kindofabuzz | you want easiest, get a debain, like ubuntu | 03:43 |
| ChaosTheory | balthazar: All that needs to work is "modprobe ndiswrapper." | 03:43 |
| balthazarguy | Chaos: Installation of..? | 03:43 |
| code_kill | oh sorry | 03:43 |
| nickrud | code_kill and please, less of the enters, it scrolls the channel overmuch | 03:43 |

| code_kill | i apologize | 03:43 |

| code_kill | and thanks greatly for your help. one second | 03:45 |
| DariusTheoNoir | justjaden...I got that error a few times | 03:45 |
| justjaden | what did you do? | 03:45 |
| DariusTheoNoir | a reboot and it didn't occur again | 03:45 |
| DariusTheoNoir | seemed intermittent | 03:45 |
| code_kill | hey! | 03:45 |
| code_kill | thanks | 03:45 |
| code_kill | lol | 03:45 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, working now? what did you do? | 03:46 |
| code_kill | i can't beleive i over looked the obvious | 03:46 |
| justjaden | it's happening every time for me. Then trying to open a program, it says "your system may be in an unstable state, and may need to be rebooted" | 03:46 |
| code_kill | two of same ports. lol | 03:46 |
| code_kill | thanks alot! | 03:46 |
| Scunizi | sure | 03:46 |
| DariusTheoNoir | ah...which version are you running? | 03:46 |
| code_kill | This is by far the most helping and kind chat i have been in in a long time. | 03:46 |
| code_kill | :) | 03:46 |
| bazhang | Synclair: you need to ask a question first | 03:46 |
| Synclair | in fact, I deed | 03:46 |
| Synclair | did | 03:46 |
| Synclair | the thing is that I own a Creative Zen V | 03:47 |
| DariusTheoNoir | dapper, feisty, gutsy, heron, etc | 03:47 |
| Synclair | and I cannot make it work | 03:47 |
| kambei | If I wanted to issue a command upon return from "suspended" state, where would I want to put it? | 03:47 |
| wil | I installed something that has its files in /var/www I need to copy some files to there but I do not have the option to paste and I can not edit permissions... how do I use the GUI to copy files here? is there any way to run the GUI with sudo? | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | code_kill, glad to hear it.. I'll send you my bill to donate to one of my favorite charities :) | 03:47 |
| code_kill | yea, i use win, and redhat, but never used a debian - (ubuntu) beofre. i'm liking it alot | 03:47 |
| Synclair | although I isntalled gnomad2, libmtp and libnjb | 03:47 |
| Synclair | I have ubuntu dapper | 03:47 |
| RPClancy_ | Im a complete Linux noob. I am trying to get a linux install working on my Toshiba Satellite A205-S5800. Which distro do you guys reccomend, keepign in mind that I have had trouble getting wireless card and video card to work in Mandriva and Ubuntu already. | 03:47 |
| code_kill | it installed on my notebook very smooth, and found all drivers very smooth | 03:47 |
| code_kill | good things to say for ubuntu | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | wil, yes.. but you have to be very careful.. sudo nautilus | 03:47 |
| Synclair | wil, go ahead open a terminal and type sudo natilus | 03:47 |
| Synclair | damin | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | wil.. that is gksudo nautilus | 03:47 |
| AndrewB | RPClancy_: people have and will suggest ubuntu. | 03:47 |
| nickrud | wil you can use gksudo nautilus , but it's a good idea to learn the commands | 03:47 |
| DariusTheoNoir | RPC - tried SUSE? | 03:48 |
| Khajavi | how can I install codeblock? it occur a error: dpkg -i libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb >> libcodeblocks0 depends on libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.7); | 03:48 |
| RPClancy_ | I have not, what is it? | 03:48 |
| wil | lol, so many people at once, so I wont target a name... what is the diffrence between sudo and gksudo? | 03:48 |
| DariusTheoNoir | gksudo is for gui | 03:48 |
| genii | !gksudo | 03:48 |
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:48 |
| Scunizi | wil, when running a graphical program as root use gksudo | 03:48 |
| DariusTheoNoir | so that you can run a nautilus browser as root | 03:48 |
| code_kill | i never knew that. lol | 03:48 |
| code_kill | interesting | 03:48 |
| nickrud | !offtopic | DariusTheoNoir RPClancy_ this isn't the place to discuss relative merits of distos, #ubuntu-offtopic is available | 03:48 |

| code_kill | i always just stayed in command | 03:48 |
| DariusTheoNoir | instead of CLI | 03:48 |
| wil | thanks | 03:48 |
| Co_sby | hi | 03:48 |
| Khajavi | how can I install codeblock? it occur a error: dpkg -i libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb >> libcodeblocks0 depends on libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.7); | 03:49 |
| RPClancy_ | .... | 03:49 |
| nickrud | wil gksudo sets up the environment so you can safely use a gui app, sudo doesn't, it's meant for the command line | 03:49 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616952 only semi-useful thing I could find Synclair | 03:49 |

| AndrewB | Khajavi: try sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.4-dev | 03:49 |
| wil | Scunizi, Synclair, nickrud, thanks very much, its all working! | 03:49 |
| nickrud | code_kill install firestarter | 03:49 |
| balthazarguy | Ok... Nvidia drivers working now.. but now how do I get a higher screen rosolution.. it still won't let me choose other than the defualt one.. | 03:50 |
| code_kill | you guys are awsome. so many chats these days are just junk. but i will for sure come back to this one. | 03:50 |
| code_kill | firestarter? | 03:50 |
| Synclair | anyone knows about libmtp and libnjb? | 03:50 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: r u there? | 03:50 |
| nickrud | code_kill it's a gui iptables configurator | 03:50 |
| PiousMinion | I must be lagged. | 03:50 |
| code_kill | is it in the package manager? or download from site? | 03:50 |
| Scunizi | owen1, yep | 03:50 |
| PiousMinion | nickrud: I use "sudo sux" to run gui apps as root. | 03:50 |
| Khajavi | AndrewB: ok | 03:50 |
| code_kill | nice. | 03:50 |
| code_kill | i see | 03:50 |
| justjaden | where can you manually open the Gnome-Settings-Daemon? | 03:51 |
| jrib | Synclair: you need to be more specific about what you want to do | 03:51 |
| bazhang | code_kill: sudo apt-get install firestarter | 03:51 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: I tried the Krita and this is what I think... | 03:51 |
| nickrud | !gksudo | PiousMinion (not a good idea) | 03:51 |
| ubotu | PiousMinion (not a good idea): If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:51 |
| balthazarguy | andrew: Do you know how I can get it to let me get a higher screen resolution now? | 03:51 |
| jjt001 | anyone here know of jeff waugh? | 03:51 |
| Synclair | I need to install my creative zen v | 03:51 |
| jjt001 | ~~? | 03:51 |
| AndrewB | balthazarguy: no idea, you will need to check your display settings for that. | 03:51 |
| nickrud | jjt001 the garnome creator? heard of him, vaguely | 03:51 |
| bazhang | jjt001: how does that relate to /topic here? | 03:51 |
| jjt001 | nickrud: yeah | 03:51 |
| nickrud | jjt001 but see bazhang he's right | 03:52 |
| jjt001 | bazhang: i'm trying to get unbanned from #gnome | 03:52 |
| balthazarguy | I go to the resolution manager.. it only lets me use the default settings.. | 03:52 |
| Scunizi | balthazarguy, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#head-edf61bdea0fd68c38cd57e42671fbcc8afcf1647 | 03:52 |
| balthazarguy | Kk thanks. | 03:52 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: functionality is similar to paint.net but the user experience is very complex. for example, after entering in text, it creates new layer. It also isnt easy to change fonts and sizes. I also am having a hard time moving the text once it has been entered. | 03:52 |
| jjt001 | nikrud: he banned for making some constructive criticism about his recent behaviour | 03:52 |
| nickrud | jjt001 he doesn't pass through here much at all (haven't seen him in years) | 03:52 |
| balthazarguy | Actually, it's at a lower screen resolution now than what it was before the drivers.. | 03:52 |
| bazhang | jjt001: look at the irc channel list for something like #gnome-ops | 03:53 |
| jjt001 | nickrud: yeah, i think he left canonical | 03:53 |
| jjt001 | bazhang: thanks | 03:53 |
| Itaku | how do you do cmnd_alias's in sudoers file? | 03:53 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: I also use the magic wond quiet a bit but can't seem to change the percentage of capture/sensitivity. | 03:53 |
| owen1 | Scunizi: Have you ever used Paint.net? | 03:53 |
| xin000 | So many chats. How do you who is talking to who? | 03:54 |
| balthazarguy | Photoshop owns. | 03:54 |
| Scunizi | owen1, just 'cause you're not use to it.. layers is what it's all about when creating things.. that might be some of the issues you had with gimp.. I haven't used paint.net because I'm use to gimp and paint.net is probably .net meaning even with mono installed it might not work | 03:54 |

| code_kill | i love linux. | 03:54 |
| balthazarguy | Chaos: Grrr :/ | 03:54 |
| ChaosTheory | Balthazarguy: Try installing "nvidia-glx-new" | 03:54 |
| Synclair | it requires libmtp, libnjb and gnomad2 | 03:55 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, he just got the nvidia drivers installed and working but can't change the resolution | 03:55 |
| xin000 | jrib: that's great. Thanks! | 03:55 |

| dryder | Was having problems with a usb drive. Thought I had the solution and clicked the drive icon, Properties>Volume and changed Settings Mount Point, File System and Mount Options. Now I can't access it - nor can gparted. Not quite true - if I: sudo mkdir /media/sdj1 | 03:56 |

| balthazarguy | Scun: Yeah I"m looking at it now. | 03:57 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, you mean that the router is plugged into the ubuntu machine? and is the router wireless? | 03:57 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Correct. | 03:57 |
| DariusTheoNoir | all I know is that I booted into another window manager and then back to gnome and it fixed the problem | 03:57 |
| sweetsinse | are there any other app that control the root window/desktop | 03:57 |
| bazhang | Synclair: amarok may well support that, if ubuntuforums are to be believed | 03:58 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, ok.. access to the router's wireless function has nothing to do with ubuntu. The router is stand alone.. can you access the router's setup screen with ubuntu? | 03:58 |

| sweetsinse | but i use xfce.. i am getting my company switched over | 03:59 |

| sweetsinse | i have all the backend stuff w3rked out, i just want to tweak the looks | 03:59 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, well... the router is connected to the cable modem or dls modem and your current desktop is wired directly to it but that doesn't mean wireless is turned on .. go to Firefox and type 192.168.0.1 into the addres bar and see what happens. | 03:59 |

| DariusTheoNoir | that might be a good start. | 04:05 |

| fxjr | do you know how to disable that behavior from compiz? | 04:07 |
| DariusTheoNoir | well...what do you like, sweetsinse? Minimalist, decorated, light, heavy...etc | 04:07 |
| fxjr | I didn't find anything in the compiz wall plugin to disable it. | 04:08 |
| jrib | fxjr: that's probably a better question for #compiz-fusion but you can probably set that in compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:08 |
| alteregoa | i like dadaism | 04:08 |
| nickrud | fxjr I use clt-alt-paggeup/down in compiz to change gedit tabs | 04:08 |
| bazhang | alteregoa: you have been asked before to stop | 04:08 |
| sweetsinse | DariusTheoNoir i just want ability to highlight multiple icons | 04:08 |
| fxjr | nickrud, jrib where is this shortcut set? | 04:08 |
| SubOne | is that really all you guys can suggest? | 04:08 |
| DariusTheoNoir | ah...ctrl click | 04:08 |
| sweetsinse | DariusTheoNoir uhhh drag highlighting? | 04:08 |
| fxjr | I even tried advanced search | 04:08 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, when you typed "admin" in the password field, was the user name field blank and did you use all lowercase when typing admin? | 04:08 |
| xipietotec | fxjr, its in compizconfig-settings-manager, and it depends on what plugins you have activated, and what keybindings they're set to. | 04:08 |
| two-bits | SubOne | 04:08 |
| sweetsinse | i cant think of a good word to describe it | 04:08 |
| fxjr | and couldn't find anything bind to it. | 04:08 |
| nickrud | fxjr it's default in my gedit, I've made no changes to those keybindings | 04:09 |
| SubOne | two-bits: yes? | 04:09 |
| Khajavi | is there any one how have motorola a1200 linux mobile? | 04:09 |
| fxjr | nickrud, yes. it is the default shortcut of gedit. the problem is that I want to disable in compiz | 04:09 |
| nickrud | fxjr erm, Ignore me for now, I'm doing this in beta | 04:09 |
| DariusTheoNoir | sweetsinse: which window manager do you use currently? | 04:09 |
| fxjr | because now I can't change tabs in gedit. | 04:09 |
| sweetsinse | DariusTheoNoir like what you do in thunar... you cant select more than one thing by abitrarily clicking a point and dragging | 04:09 |
| sweetsinse | i have compiz | 04:09 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Yes to both. | 04:09 |
| sweetsinse | and emerald | 04:09 |
| fxjr | nickrud, beta? 8.04? | 04:09 |
| fxjr | I'm using 8.04 too. | 04:10 |
| nickrud | fxjr . Can't discuss it here ;) | 04:10 |

| fxjr | nickrud, ahhh ok. sorry for that. I didn't now. | 04:10 |
| DariusTheoNoir | oh...nice...the last time I installed compiz, it kept me from moving windows around and changing focus | 04:10 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, did you buy this new or is anyone else using it in the house? | 04:10 |
| fxjr | bazhang, thanks. I didn't even know there was this channel. | 04:10 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: I'm the host computer, and there's one other computer running Windows XP that needs to use it (client). | 04:10 |
| fxjr | I went here directly after installing xchat :) | 04:10 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: It's new. | 04:10 |

| Khajavi | Synclair: hald service can recognize usb device | 04:11 |
| fxjr | changing to ubuntu+1 then :) | 04:11 |
| bazhang | fxjr: in three weeks you can come back ;] | 04:11 |
| Synclair | what service? | 04:11 |
| Synclair | how do I run it? | 04:11 |
| sweetsinse | DariusTheoNoir yeah i had similar problems for awhile | 04:11 |
| DariusTheoNoir | correct me if I am wrong, but I thought compiz and emerald were window decorators and effects--not strictly window managers. (what I mean is KDE, Gnome, ion, fvwm, windowmaker...etc) | 04:11 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, you're not the host.. you're just plugged into it.. meaning you are also a guest of the router.. I suggest you take a look at the manuel at the section on resetting it back to normal then you should be able to get into it.. here's the manuel link. http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859837401&packedargs=sku%3DWRT54G&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=3740137 | 04:12 |

| DariusTheoNoir | oh...and xfce | 04:12 |
| bazhang | DariusTheoNoir: compiz is a window compositor iirc | 04:12 |
| DariusTheoNoir | right | 04:12 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, sorry that split. http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859837401&packedargs=sku%3DWRT54G&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=3740137401B01&displaypage=download#versiondetail | 04:12 |

| DariusTheoNoir | but you've got some kind of backend...right? | 04:12 |
| unop | DariusTheoNoir, compiz is a "compositing window managaer" according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz | 04:13 |
| bazhang | the fallback is normally gnome's metacity | 04:13 |
| DariusTheoNoir | thanks unop | 04:13 |
| Khajavi | Synclair: please run: ls /dev/* > a then unplug usb dvice then ls /dev/* > b then diff a b | 04:13 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Hm. . . | 04:13 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Reset back to normal? | 04:13 |
| DariusTheoNoir | all I know is that it doesn't work for me... | 04:13 |
| sweetsinse | DariusTheoNoir what i need isnt even a WM.. that is compiz. in xfce xfdesktop controls the background and the icons/behaviour of the "desktop". in gnome nautilus perfoms this function. i want an app thats neither but both | 04:13 |
| DariusTheoNoir | ah...ok...now I understand what you are trying to communicate | 04:14 |
| nickrud | sweetsinse background setting, or icons? | 04:14 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, yes.. just in case the rom is got some bad info or it was left in a protected state from the factory.. by resetting it, it will get rid of any passwords that are on the router and the default "admin" will work to get into it. | 04:14 |
| DariusTheoNoir | well...have fun with that. | 04:14 |
| Khajavi | Synclair: report me diff a b | 04:14 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Hm, okay. I'm going to go over to the desktop now and see if anything works. | 04:15 |
| fxjr | hey guys! | 04:15 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, k.. that is a good router.. I've got one.. it's based on linux | 04:15 |
| fxjr | thanks for your promptly responses! | 04:15 |
| sweetsinse | nickrud, i would like to retain ability to drag from thunar file manager onto/out of desktop, and be able to 'highlight' select more than one icon on this desktop.. like you can with gnome/kde/windowz | 04:16 |
| SoulBlade | hi all - i had installed mythbuntu 7.10 on an old machine.. spent some time getting my tuner to work w/ it (hauppage pvr2 usb) - i recently installed a slew of updates and now my tuner doesn't seem to work... i unfortunately had installed like 60 updates - how do you guys typically debug an issue like this - im pretty new to linux | 04:16 |
| === masnet08 is now known as LaCosta | ||
| bazhang | SoulBlade: have you asked in #ubuntu-mythtv | 04:16 |
| SoulBlade | i had to edit my grub boot params to make things work on 7.1 - there were some irq issues | 04:17 |
| Synclair | Khajavi: /dev/libmtp-usbdev1.4 is the one that gets disconnected | 04:17 |
| sCOTTo | hey does anyone have any good knowledge on networkin with windows machines? i have been having trouble from start to now.... my windows boxes can see my files but I cant see theirs... i am in a muddle... | 04:17 |
| SoulBlade | nope - didnt even know about it | 04:17 |
| SoulBlade | thanks! | 04:17 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, Actually I was wrong.. it's not based on linux.. that's the GL version | 04:17 |
| nickrud | sweetsinse as far as I know, there are only 4 desktop managers in the sense you mean: gnome, kde, xfce, and cde | 04:17 |
| sweetsinse | have you used xfce? | 04:18 |
| nickrud | sweetsinse and cde is pretty brain dead, probably won't give you what you want. | 04:18 |
| unop | nickrud, not that i can name any off of the top of my head, but surely you discredit 20 years of unix desktop environments with that statement :) | 04:19 |
| nickrud | sweetsinse yes, briefly. | 04:19 |
| nickrud | unop true, i forget gnustep already ;) | 04:19 |
| === RaceKondition is now known as RaceCondition | ||
| Khajavi | Synclair: now sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart then sudo /init,d/hald restart then sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 04:19 |
| nickrud | unop I think I meant *in use* in any measurable fashion today | 04:19 |
| sweetsinse | nickrud under the desktop option.. there is a switch to 'allow xfce to manage desktop', if you flip that off it kills the desktop background and icons/etc.---but this has no effect on WM window management functions/actions. | 04:20 |
| unop | nickrud, i wonder what "desktop environment" i use .. i run fluxbox :) | 04:20 |
| nickrud | sweetsinse yes. You can do the same in gnome ;) | 04:20 |
| nickrud | unop you don't have one, you have a window manager :p | 04:20 |
| sweetsinse | yeah so arent there some alternative out there? | 04:20 |
| SuperSayjin | hey every 1 | 04:20 |
| Synclair | don't have /etc/init.d/hal restart | 04:20 |
| sweetsinse | flux is nice | 04:20 |
| unop | nickrud, but i can run gnome applications on my "desktop" :) | 04:20 |
| sweetsinse | i like compiz though | 04:21 |
| code_kill | i'm back. incase anyone cares | 04:21 |
| code_kill | lol | 04:21 |
| sweetsinse | thats why i g xfce | 04:21 |
| MeatGrinder | why can't i rename a flash drive in nautilus? It lets me select rename and type a new name but then gives me an error? | 04:21 |
| talcite_ | does anyone here use eclipse3.2 and java 64? | 04:21 |
| unop | nickrud, and kde ones too .. :) | 04:21 |
| code_kill | had to feed the baby | 04:21 |
| nickrud | sweetsinse none that I know of. and unop no, you're running gnome apps in your window manager. | 04:21 |
| masnet08 | LaCosta | 04:21 |
| SuperSayjin | what programs cau u use to moniter cpu temperatures? | 04:21 |
| alteregoa | betty waintrop might help | 04:21 |
| unop | nickrud, so what exactly is a desktop environment in relation to the apps that it houses, contains and manages then ? | 04:21 |
| bazhang | alteregoa: for the last time please stop | 04:21 |
| sweetsinse | i just want to get more functionality out of the desktop | 04:21 |
| nickrud | unop in the same way one could (if they wanted to) run metacity as a standalone window manager | 04:21 |
| sweetsinse | i like to dump things there etc. not just look at photo | 04:22 |
| nickrud | unop I think of things that actually have a desktop you can put things on | 04:22 |
| code_kill | does anyone here write python? | 04:22 |
| unop | nickrud, like what exactly? | 04:22 |
| nickrud | unop like nautilus in the context of gnome | 04:22 |
| ChaosTheory | Scuzini: Okay, can I just make a *new* network? | 04:22 |
| ChaosTheory | Scuzini: And won't that automatically make me the host? | 04:23 |
| sweetsinse | or thunar/xfdesktop to xfce | 04:23 |
| unop | nickrud, so if i use fluxbox and have nautilus draw a desktop, do i have a "desktop environment" ? :) | 04:23 |
| ChaosTheory | Scuzini: The XP computer has no "View available wireless networks" option. | 04:23 |
| alteregoa | i cannot install gnome-keyring-manager | 04:23 |
| code_kill | xp has that option | 04:23 |
| sweetsinse | fluxbox is a WM too | 04:23 |
| nickrud | unop more specifically, I'm not thinking of launchers but of folders and files. But I digress and am idiosyncratic | 04:24 |
| tgelter | is there some way to keep NetworkManager from connecting to a particular access point? | 04:24 |
| code_kill | "view available wirless networks" | 04:24 |
| unop | nickrud, or rather, if i use all the gnome components like the volume-manager, clipboard, gtk-theming, etc, etc .. i run them, and surely they are integral to the "gnome DE" ? | 04:24 |
| ChaosTheory | Scuzini: Are you there? | 04:24 |
| nickrud | unop sure do. You're running gnome with a replacement window manager | 04:24 |
| sweetsinse | im thinking about trying to hack thunar and compiz window rules into a desktop | 04:24 |
| code_kill | what is a good network tool similiar to "nettools" for ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| code_kill | if anyone knows?> | 04:25 |
| unop | nickrud, i'm pulling your leg .. :) i think that the definition of a DE is unclear and really is quite irrelevant to how you use and interact with the system. | 04:25 |
| ChaosTheory | Scuzini: Are you there? | 04:26 |
| * nickrud crosses fingers at unop, ambiguity is evil ;) | 04:26 | |
| sweetsinse | desktop in the sense you can 'feel' it by dragging/dropping etc | 04:26 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: I believe his name is Scunizi | 04:26 |
| sweetsinse | the visible screen is a table at the root level | 04:27 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, yep | 04:27 |
| bazhang | tabcompletion is your friend ChaosTheory | 04:27 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, just updated my routers firmware.. you's is linux I believe.. | 04:27 |
| SuperSayjin | for all those that run f@h join the #f@h channel for chat/advice and idoling lolz | 04:27 |
| bazhang | code_kill: what are you trying to accomplish | 04:28 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, now it's my turn.. are YOU there? | 04:28 |
| bazhang | tgelter: like the neighbor's? please specify | 04:28 |
| nickrud | SuperSayjin please don't use this channel for advertising others | 04:28 |
| tgelter | bazhang: yeah, like the neighbor's | 04:29 |
| bazhang | tgelter: make your own the default | 04:29 |
| tgelter | bazhang: the neighbors have an unsecured network that networkmanager will connect to if it can't connect to mine | 04:29 |
| treble54 | I'm having issues using the built-in partitioning feature when installing Ubuntu 7.10 | 04:30 |
| * nickrud wonders if he should ask unop about the difference between a desktop and a desktop environment | 04:30 | |
| ToddEDM | hey guys , im building a PC.... what brand SATA HDD is better than the rest? | 04:30 |
| tgelter | bazhang: how do I specify a default? | 04:30 |
| treble54 | I want to keep my windows installation, but I don't understand the Ubuntu Partitioning tool during the installation | 04:30 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 tgelter this is how to do it cli way--network-manager has always been flaky for me | 04:30 |
| nickrud | treble54 are you running vista? | 04:30 |
| treble54 | can anyone enlighten me or point me to some reading I might look at? | 04:30 |
| treble54 | nope, XP | 04:30 |
| mneptok | SuperSayjin: please do not advertise other channels in #ubuntu* channels | 04:31 |
| tgelter | bazhang: thanks | 04:31 |
| Krumar | hey, i'm trying to help a friend install gusty on his computer, it loads ok, but when we get to the partitioning section, it can't find the harddrive, we've tried putting with pci=nomsi and all-generic-ide, they didn't help any, anyone have any ideas? | 04:31 |
| ChaosTheory | Scuzini: Haha, sorry. | 04:31 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Sorry, not Scuzini. -_- | 04:31 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, :) | 04:31 |
| mneptok | Krumar: disable the crappy software RAID in the BIOS? ;) | 04:31 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: I think I'm just going to revert to having the desktop be the "host." | 04:31 |
| === Adlai_ is now known as Adlai | ||
| bazhang | Krumar: set bios to ata | 04:32 |
| Krumar | mneptok, i don't think the bois supports raid, but i will check that out now | 04:32 |
| SoulBlade | i think i have a different issue... there's nothing in my /proc/bus/usb directory - ive attached the usb tuner.. will the device only be added if suitable drivers are found for it? | 04:32 |
| nickrud | tgelter basically you want to shrink the xp partition by pulling the right end towards the left, then tell ubuntu to use the freed up space | 04:32 |
| hobbzilla | Does one have to create a TAP interface to create a bridge for virtual guests for each guest?? i.e. tap0, tap1, etc.. | 04:32 |
| Krumar | bazhang, i'll check that too | 04:32 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Now, do you know how to fix my screen resolution? =P | 04:32 |
| tgelter | nickrud: I don't think that message was meant for me | 04:32 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, do you have two nic cards in the machine? one wireless and one wired? | 04:32 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi, yes. | 04:32 |
| nickrud | tgelter thanks, treble54 see my last above, I addressed it to the wrong person | 04:33 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, ok. then.. screen resolution.. I'll get the link. hang on. | 04:33 |
| treble54 | oh ok :) | 04:33 |
| unop | nickrud, the desktop is the area on a display's screen that the user interacts with, the desktop environment is composed of the various objects that make up the graphical interfaces (on the desktop) -- but i know you'll beg to differ :) | 04:33 |
| xbehave2 | does the kernel need to be outside of an lvm partition | 04:33 |
| arbeck | I just installed the hardy beta 64 bit, installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but DVD's still will not play... did i miss something? | 04:33 |
| mneptok | xbehave2: no, but it's a danged good idea. | 04:33 |
| * nickrud has successfully gone fishing :) | 04:33 | |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi, it's an NVIDIA driver. | 04:33 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 04:33 |
| bazhang | libdvdcss2 and #ubuntu+1 please arbeck | 04:33 |
| mneptok | xbehave2: keeping /boot off an LVM is an extremely smart idea | 04:33 |
| nickrud | unop but I do agree completely with that statement | 04:34 |
| treble54 | nickrud: ok, so of the three options, you're speaking about the option with the slider, indicating a percentage of the harddrive space | 04:34 |
| nickrud | treble54 yes. | 04:34 |
| tgelter | mneptok: until grub 2 is standard, no? | 04:34 |
| unop | nickrud, i can disagree with my own statement tho -- i mean, what if all that was on my desktop was a terminal-emulator? ;) | 04:34 |
| mneptok | tgelter: even then i wouldn't do it. | 04:35 |
| Krumar | bazhang, and mneptok, no raid in bios and i don't see anything that always you to set to ata | 04:35 |
| tgelter | mneptok: reason being? | 04:35 |
| nickrud | unop we gotta stop, or mneptok will pull out his version of the pointy stick | 04:35 |
| bazhang | haha | 04:35 |
| mneptok | Krumar: it's *something* about the drive controller. what make/model is it? | 04:35 |
| unop | :) | 04:35 |
| leprasmurf | hello all, is there a way to upgrade to OO 2.4 from ubuntu or do I have to uninstall from apt and install manually? | 04:35 |
| mneptok | tgelter: LVM calls are in the kernel. the kernel lives in boot. why would you put the only thing that can successfully mount your array *inside* the array? ;) | 04:36 |
| bazhang | leprasmurf: why do you wish to do so? | 04:36 |
| treble54 | nickrud: ok, then if I put the slider at 0% (which I believe is all the way to the left), what does that tell the installation to do | 04:36 |
| mneptok | tgelter: that's like storing your fingers inside the telephone. | 04:36 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: I am extremely frustrated with base 2.3 and wish to try 2.4 to see if any of the issues I'm having have been resolved | 04:36 |
| nickrud | treble54 it'll probably fail, since the shrunken space won't hold the contents of the xp partition | 04:36 |
| userone | I am looking for a good mp3 player, any tips? | 04:36 |
| xbehave2 | my problem is that my /boot is only 8mb ( a problem i didnt realise till id done eerything else) so i imstalled the kernels to an lvm partion, is it possible to setup grub so it boots to the kernel in the lvm? | 04:36 |
| bazhang | cowon but offtopic here userone | 04:37 |
| mneptok | xbehave2: no | 04:37 |
| mneptok | xbehave2: you need lilo | 04:37 |
| nickrud | treble54 to be honest, I never even came close to trying that, I'm chicken | 04:37 |
| Newbuntu2 | hello | 04:37 |
| tgelter | mneptok: the next version of grub knows about software raid and lvm, so it's not really an issue like you say | 04:37 |
| mneptok | tgelter: i'm a pessimist :) | 04:37 |
| userone | @ bazhang - where should I go ? | 04:37 |
| bazhang | leprasmurf: what issues; please specify | 04:37 |
| xbehave2 | isnt lilo dangerous? | 04:38 |
| Newbuntu2 | does anyone have any recommendations for webcams that work outdoors and can record at 30fps, and are not a hassle to get to work in linux? | 04:38 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: it's a long list | 04:38 |
| bazhang | userone: cowon's home page or #ubuntu-offtopic ;] | 04:38 |
| tgelter | mneptok: well, ok...I guess I understand then | 04:38 |
| treble54 | nickrud: ok let me put it in a different way: what am I indicating as I drag the slider more to the left vs. more to the right? | 04:38 |
| bazhang | leprasmurf: have you visited the open office irc channel? | 04:38 |
| mneptok | tgelter: i smell the way i do not because of poor personal hygiene, but because i've been burned so many times ;) | 04:38 |
| userone | @ bazhang, for players in general. | 04:38 |
| mneptok | (and poor personal hygiene) | 04:38 |
| nickrud | xbehave2 no, in fact it has a couple advantages over grub but grub has many more over lilo | 04:38 |
| bazhang | userone: not sure there sorry | 04:39 |
| tgelter | mneptok: the best way to learn! (or at least the most long-lasting) | 04:39 |
| xbehave2 | what do i lose by using lilo, and what do i gain? | 04:39 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: the jdbc connector seems to lock some of my tables as readonly despite my privilege, I can't edit labels on a wizard created form, I can't find a way to create an input mask on text fields, I can't find any type of date picker/calendar for date objects | 04:39 |
| userone | @ bazhang, thanks | 04:39 |
| nickrud | treble54 say you have one partition using the whole drive, 120gb. You move it to 50% , and the partitioner will try to shrink the partition to 60gb, leaving 60gb unallocated | 04:39 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: yes, I spent most of the day lurking in there awaiting any answer, the only replies I got on there was when I was helping another user | 04:40 |
| bazhang | leprasmurf: thus my recommend of the open office irc channel they will be xperts at that | 04:40 |
| userone | best mobo for linux? | 04:40 |
| unop | !best | userone | 04:40 |
| ubotu | userone: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 04:40 |
| tgelter | so, I realize that this isn't the best place to ask this (point me to a good channel if you know of one)...does anyone know of a good source for good-quality A/V receivers that won't break the bank? | 04:40 |
| bazhang | leprasmurf: though someone really good for oO may be in here | 04:40 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: have not been successful in getting any replies to any issues, nor have I had much success in google | 04:40 |
| nickrud | xbehave2 access to a command line to manipulate the boot is available in grub, and not in lilo. Huge advantage. Lilo doesn't depend on the bios for identifying disks and partitions, not so big an advantage with better bioses that are now in use | 04:40 |
| izinucs | userone, might try #hardware or #linux | 04:41 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: hence I was asking the ubuntu specific question of updates outside of synaptic | 04:41 |
| userone | k, thanks. | 04:41 |
| bazhang | leprasmurf: oh I meant those specific issues | 04:41 |
| nickrud | treble54 but if you have more than 60gb of data on the partition, you either will fail in the resize or the data will be corrupted. | 04:41 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: which I did try, wasted most of the night trying to work around these issues | 04:42 |
| xbehave2 | ive installed my system to a lvm, how can i install lilo, and get it to boot to my system? | 04:42 |
| nickrud | never used lvm, sorry | 04:42 |
| Tu13es | can I tell my external drives to sleep when not in use? | 04:42 |
| MeatGrinder | why is it so difficult (impossible) to rename an NTFS usb flash drive in ubuntu? | 04:43 |
| MeatGrinder | why can't i rename a flash drive in nautilus? It lets me select rename and type a new name but then gives me an error? | 04:43 |
| xbehave2 | nickrud how would i usually install lilo? | 04:43 |
| treble54 | nickrud: ok, sorry to beat this to death, but what about if the slider is at 40% ? | 04:43 |
| leprasmurf | MeatGrinder: because ntfs is a closed source file system and any modifications is still in the experimental stage | 04:43 |
| leprasmurf | is there a way to upgrade to OO 2.4 from ubuntu or do I have to uninstall from apt and install manually? | 04:44 |
| unop_ | Tu13es, i believe you can use hdparm to enable spindown | 04:44 |
| ChaosTheory | I've got all the monitor resolutions under "Modes," but it's not showing up. | 04:44 |
| bazhang | http://download.openoffice.org/ you can download the deb and see if that fixes things leprasmurf | 04:44 |
| ChaosTheory | Anyone know how to fix the monitor resolution problem? =| | 04:44 |
| izinucs | leprasmurf, or wait until hardy is out.. or install the beta version | 04:45 |
| Tu13es | unop_: hm, I'm just reading that I think | 04:45 |
| unop_ | Tu13es, see here - http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_hdparm_to_improve_IDE_device_performance | 04:45 |
| ChaosTheory | FixVideoResolutionHowTo doesn't solve my problem. . . | 04:45 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive (works for partitions as well) | 04:45 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: how about pastebinning your xorg.conf | 04:45 |
| leprasmurf | bazhang: yeah, that's where I'm sitting now, the deb download claims conflicting packages with openoffice.org-bundled and refuses to install | 04:45 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: One second. | 04:45 |
| leprasmurf | izinucs: ty | 04:45 |
| nickrud | xbehave2 sudo apt-get install lilo, configure lilo.conf, and then write an mbr. | 04:45 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, I'm there and tried that, didn't work at all | 04:46 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: http://pastebin.com/d11268fce | 04:46 |
| nickrud | treble54 then 40% would be ntfs, and 60% unallocated | 04:46 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, worked for renaming my windows hdd but not my usb flash drives | 04:46 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder were they mounted? | 04:46 |
| MeatGrinder | tried it mounted and unmounted | 04:46 |
| izinucs | leprasmurf, np. OO has agravated me as well. espicially with some spreadsheet functions that are easy in excel and bang your head hard in OO.. also printing envelopes is near impossible from a spreadsheet full of data | 04:47 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: you have the drivers enabled? it only shows generic nvidia card and the nv drivers in your xorg.conf | 04:47 |
| programador1_ | hola | 04:47 |
| xbehave2 | nickrud, only 2 problems, 1 i dont ae a working system to do that from, is lilo on the alternate install cd?, 2 i dondt know how to right a lilo.conf | 04:47 |
| bazhang | !es | programador1_ | 04:48 |
| ubotu | programador1_: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 04:48 |

| sCOTTo | hey does anyone have any good knowledge on networkin with windows machines? i have been having trouble from start to now.... my windows boxes can see my files but I cant see theirs... i am in a muddle... | 04:48 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: Oh, sorry. I need to enable the restricted NVIDIA driver. | 04:48 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: Okay, it installed. | 04:48 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, doh! dammit i forgot it's FAT32, let me try that | 04:48 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: that would help hehe | 04:48 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, what happens when you try and access the windows machines? | 04:48 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: It gives me the same resolutions. | 04:48 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: But it also says I need a system restart. | 04:48 |
| sCOTTo | i cant find them or browse them | 04:48 |
| leprasmurf | izinucs: I'm finding the same. I could have had this form done twice over in access, but running into so many problems in OO | 04:48 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: restart first | 04:48 |
| sCOTTo | unop_ i cant do anything with them | 04:49 |
| nickrud | xbehave2 I'd suggest you use grub, as far as I know that works fine with lvm. But I've never investigated actually setting it up myself. | 04:49 |
| treble54 | nickrud: ok so that 60% would be unallocated and then looked into for allocating space for the Ubuntu installation, correct? | 04:49 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, actually it doesn't say anything about vfat in that webpage, which command do I use in terminal... vfat or mlabel...I tried mlabel...didn't work | 04:49 |
| sCOTTo | unop_ im no expert with linux - I forsook Windows vista for ubuntu as a supporter of death to windows.... | 04:49 |
| izinucs | leprasmurf, i didn't catch the issue you were having.. form data merges I've actually managed to get done with a spreadsheet of data | 04:49 |
| nickrud | xbehave2 I want to mention one thing: you have to have a separate /boot partition with lvm as I understand it. That might be your boot problem | 04:50 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, ok, given that you know the name or ipaddress of one of your windows machines .. what happens when you type this into the nautilus location bar. smb://othermachinename | 04:50 |
| treble54 | nickrud: from listening to you, you make it sound like the slider is the user making a request at how the user wants the partitioning to behave, letting the installation program decide the specifics | 04:50 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder vfat, it works on fat32 | 04:50 |
| sCOTTo | unop_ is there a gui that will help me hook into the shares on my network? | 04:50 |
| izinucs | leprasmurf, is that what you're trying to do? | 04:50 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, ok i'll read up on it | 04:50 |
| nickrud | treble54 yes? Isn't that how all software works? | 04:50 |
| xbehave2 | it is but short of starting over, i cant use grub, ill look into lilo thx | 04:50 |
| sCOTTo | unop_ irefox ok? | 04:50 |
| leprasmurf | izinucs: the jdbc connector seems to lock some of my tables as readonly despite my privilege, I can't edit labels on a wizard created form, I can't find a way to create an input mask on text fields, I can't find any type of date picker/calendar for date objects | 04:51 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, nautilus does it - firefox no, i believe there is something else on gnome (gnome-connect-server maybe) i can't remember what exactly | 04:51 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: Awesome! It has the right resolution now. | 04:51 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: remember what you did for the future ;] | 04:51 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: But now, I can't see any of the title bars. . . | 04:51 |
| treble54 | nickrud: I guess I have a different take on it, it seems like this slider is a little less user input and a little more input from the installation program | 04:51 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: go into ccsm and adjust that or just disable compiz altogether ;] | 04:52 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: But I don't want to disable Compiz. :( | 04:52 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: Let me redo the settings. | 04:52 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, anyway, we'll get to that once we have troubleshooted this? what happens when you browse to smb:// and smb://othermachinename ?? | 04:52 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, I cannot find information in the ubuntu forums about using vfat to rename usb volumes, what is the syntax? | 04:52 |
| izinucs | leprasmurf, mine was simple compaired to that. unfortunatly with no experience with those needs I'm drawing a blank on how to help.. the OO IRC channel usually starts to pick up this time of night as most of them seem to be in a vastly different time zone. | 04:53 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: I don't even have Compiz installed! =D | 04:53 |
| balthazarguy | Hey all.. anyone here any good with Wine? | 04:53 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: then head over to #compiz-fusion they are the brainiacs for that ;] | 04:53 |
| brianw | how do I restart NetworkManager? | 04:53 |
| powder^ | Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. <<< Is this download going to act like a Windows msi? | 04:53 |
| nickrud | treble54 you are saying how much you want to give to xp. Next step is how you want to deal with the unallocated space. There are options ranging from let the installation program deal with how big the root and swap partition are, to totally defining exactly how the partitions are laid out. This step is simply shrinking the xp partition | 04:53 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder that page I gave you tells you exactly how to use mtools to do the job | 04:53 |
| genii | powder^: The short answer to that is No | 04:53 |
| bazhang | powder^: it will be text based and install only | 04:53 |
| amenado | leprasmurf-> what does jdbc got to do with wizard and forms? | 04:53 |

| Tu13es | unop_: do you know how to start it once I change the hdparm.conf? | 04:54 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, ok i'm confuse, I told you i used mtools and it didn't work and you said to use vfat | 04:54 |
| fxjr | thanks for your help. | 04:54 |
| balthazarguy | I have a problem with Wine, anyone here any good with Wine? | 04:54 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, Scunizi here.. this is my nick on my laptop.. install ccsm from synaptic.. its actually called compiz configuration setting manager. | 04:54 |
| leprasmurf | izinucs: ok, ty anyways. guess I'll try them one more time before I go to the drastic measure of purging and reinstalling | 04:54 |
| powder^ | bazhang -- what does text based.. mean. | 04:54 |
| leprasmurf | amenado: nothing, they are two seperate issues | 04:54 |
| powder^ | bazhang I mean, I just got the ISO | 04:54 |
| izinucs | leprasmurf, good luck | 04:54 |
| leprasmurf | izinucs: ty | 04:54 |
| amenado | leprasmurf-> i thought so.. | 04:54 |
| izinucs | np | 04:54 |
| bazhang | balthazarguy: if you dont get answers here check out #winehq and the appdb | 04:54 |
| powder^ | bazhang I mean the ISO for to make a CD with | 04:54 |
| leprasmurf | amenado: aside from the fact that I can't add a new record via form due to the lock issue | 04:54 |
| bazhang | powder^: text based means no shiny menus ;] | 04:55 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs: I don't see a "ccsm." | 04:55 |
| powder^ | bazhang -- I do not want to make a CD | 04:55 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs: I don't have Compiz installed. | 04:55 |
| unop_ | Tu13es, i believe you can put the command into a machine startup script -- /etc/rc.local | 04:55 |
| treble54 | nickrud: ok great that last bit really cleared things up :) sorry to bother you, especially since you're getting questions left and right | 04:55 |
| leprasmurf | amenado: but I was listing all the issues I was having with OO base | 04:55 |
| balthazarguy | Baz: Thanks. | 04:55 |
| unop_ | Tu13es, the command i mean | 04:55 |
| Tu13es | which command? | 04:55 |
| amenado | leprasmurf-> jdbc connectors have settings, you can reconfigure those | 04:55 |
| bazhang | powder^: what do you want to do please specify | 04:55 |
| nickrud | treble54 no problem, the person that doesn't ask questions doesn't get the answers he needs ;) | 04:55 |
| unop_ | Tu13es, your hdparm command | 04:55 |
| Tu13es | I didn't make a command, I just edited the .conf | 04:55 |
| powder^ | bazhang -- Download make partition, and run Linux | 04:55 |
| leprasmurf | amenado: any recommendations on how? I saw one command that mihgt help, but couldn't figure out where to set it | 04:56 |
| bazhang | powder^: without burning a cd? like using wubi? or what--please more info | 04:56 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder did you get some error about mtools_skip_check? | 04:56 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, yes | 04:56 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, it's installed by default.. go to system/preferances and the option for desktop something.. can't referance right now cause i'm on xp. in there you'll see whee to change the "amount" of effects. change it to NONE | 04:56 |
| brianw | how do I restart NetworkManager? I added openvpn support to it... I just can not seem to find an init for it anywhere.. | 04:56 |
| amenado | leprasmurf-> i dont know off hand, its been a long while since i have touched jdbc, but am sure they are there, | 04:56 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, then errors about it not being mounted when it was and vice versa | 04:56 |
| Newbuntu2 | does anyone have any recommendations for webcams that work outdoors and can record at 30fps, and are not a hassle to get to work in linux? | 04:56 |

| nickrud | MeatGrinder echo mtools_skip_check=1 >> ~/.mtoolsrc , and try again | 04:56 |

| ChaosTheory | izinucs: Okay, I did that and it's fixed. | 04:57 |
| Newbuntu2 | bazhang: I've seen the list... but I was hoping for a recommendation/review | 04:57 |

| MeatGrinder | nickrud, thank you sir, working fine now | 04:59 |
| unop_ | Tu13es, it appears that hdparm is run at machine startup via an init script .. so all you need to do is reboot | 04:59 |
| Tu13es | sounds good | 04:59 |
| Tu13es | thanks unop_ | 04:59 |
| unop_ | yw | 04:59 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder no problem. But I am going to point out that the error message said exactly what to do ;) | 04:59 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs: Okay, thanks. | 04:59 |
| MeatGrinder | nickrud, doh, guess I need to read fine print | 04:59 |
| nickrud | MeatGrinder sometimes the error messages are more obscure than religious texts, and sometimes they tell you what to do. We were lucky today ;) | 05:00 |
| MrProper | hi when im trying to login on my proftpd server it says password i enter is wrong | 05:00 |
| MrProper | changed pass with passwd proftpd | 05:00 |

| ChaosTheory | Scunizi: Yes. | 05:06 |
| atul | i have problem related to sound. | 05:06 |
| nickrud | Johnny_5 myself I'd use sudo to copy the files into their home directory, then chown them to them if I wanted them to be able to alter them. So after moving them I'd do sudo chown <theiruser>:<theiruser> <files> . That way they could write to them if they chose | 05:06 |

| unop_ | Tu13es, well, what i would say is that obviously not all hdparm options are supported by some disks .. make sure the one you are trying to tweak is supported by the hardware (disk, chipset and controller), secondly, verify that you have the right hdparm command | 05:07 |
| bazhang | ToddEDM: go ahead | 05:07 |

| chiefwigms | i.e. - windows xp/vista | 05:18 |
| aaearon | and i know with hardy beta you can partition a drive from the installer, i assume you can with 7.10 too | 05:18 |
| chiefwigms | and maybe a bartpe | 05:18 |
| MrSteve | MyNick - motherboard sound? | 05:19 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, the computer is now hooked up, but am not sure if there's a hotspot | 05:19 |
| MyNick | yes | 05:19 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, ok.. under the tab Desktop Size, in the vertical size option but 4 | 05:19 |
| bazhang | aaearon: sure you can dual boot the two | 05:19 |
| BhaalWK | nickrud: on the start menu? I use k3b if thats what your asking? | 05:19 |
| aaearon | well i just need vista and ubuntu | 05:19 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, even thoug there was wireless internet in the air, the ubuntu comp wouldn't be able to find it. | 05:19 |
| nickrud | BhaalWK no, I mean when you boot the cd, there's an option to check the cd | 05:19 |
| Darkglow | Hey guys, question about NetworkManager and dbus... in 7.10. Why is dhcdbd starting with S24 ? This means that dhclient will not run before S24, but windbind, ntp for example start at S20 and S23. I don't understand why a service depending on network starts before network interface ?! | 05:19 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi, okay, done. | 05:19 |
| bazhang | bluebaby: ah well then it will tough to get the wifi working right? ;] | 05:19 |
| MyNick | MrSteve: I have compaq b1914 laptop | 05:19 |
| BhaalWK | nickrud: No, strangely I havent... But will do | 05:20 |
| BhaalWK | I should have thought of that... | 05:20 |
| nickrud | BhaalWK also, do an md5sum check of the downloaded iso if the burn check fails, make sure you got a quality download | 05:20 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, well, no. The problem is with the computer not working together with the PCI card. | 05:20 |
| bazhang | aaearon: there is no real advantage to 64 bit unless you have more than 4GB of ram, are going to some heavy video compositing or like to live without youtube | 05:20 |
| Scunizi | ChaosTheory, click the "back" button in the bottom left corner.. now push ctrl+alt then the left arrow key | 05:21 |
| BhaalWK | Its odd, sometimes people say 'ignorance is bliss' but it really doesnt have many uses... | 05:21 |
| BhaalWK | nickrud: I did get it off the US mirror | 05:21 |
| aaearon | cant live without youtube, you sold me on 32bit bazhang :p | 05:21 |
| Odd-rationale | hello! is it possible to connect to a wireless wpa network via the command line? | 05:21 |
| nickrud | BhaalWK not the issue, but more a chance of a hiccup in the download itself. Happens now and again | 05:21 |
| captain | hey guys, im trying to figure out why everytime i set my laptop screen contrast to low ..after like 3 minutes or so it shoots to bright again ... | 05:21 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi, it says "Desktop 1." | 05:21 |
| bazhang | aaearon: I have a 32bit ubuntu running on a duocore 2 and it is fine ;] | 05:21 |
| Johnny_5 | what the hecks goin' on in freenode? | 05:21 |
| ChaosTheory | Scunizi, "Desk 1," that is. | 05:21 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, did you get a rotating cube? | 05:22 |
| dreamor | bazhang: Why would you have to live without youtube? | 05:22 |
| BhaalWK | nickrud: True, k3b verified the checksum and said it was okey if that counts... | 05:22 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, no, I only have one desktop now. | 05:22 |
| bazhang | bluebaby: you seem to know what the problem is..is that right? | 05:22 |
| nickrud | !md5 | BhaalWK try this | 05:22 |
| bazhang | dreamor: flash is sometimes a bear to get going with 64 bit | 05:22 |
| ubotu | BhaalWK try this: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 05:22 |

| === Khajav1 is now known as khajav1 | ||
| bluebaby | bazhang, the problem is not with the router. it's with my pc not working with any wireless card. That is the extent of my knowledge of the problem. | 05:23 |
| nickrud | BhaalWK k3b seems to say it's a god burn, so next step is to check the source | 05:23 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, ctrl + alt + left makes a small square pop up that says "Desk 1" with the Xchat icon in it. | 05:23 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, i followed the troubleshooting steps on ubuntu Help (offline) | 05:23 |
| dreamor | bazhang: Not so much these days. Last few distros installed it with eaze | 05:23 |
| captain | im trying to figure out how to stop my laptop screen brightness to go to bright after 3 minutes of setting the contrast to low... any ideas ?? | 05:23 |
| BhaalWK | nickrud: k3b verified the ISO before I burnt it I mean, but I will verify it against an online md5 | 05:23 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, did I say to change the vertical? sorry I ment horizontal the first line.. change it to 4 and vertical to 1 | 05:23 |
| bluebaby | I do NOT understand. How come in March 2008, when I installed the Dlink wireless PCI card, the wireless internet just worked, but after I removed the card, and then put it back in, it doesn't work anymore. | 05:23 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, oh, okay. Let me try that. | 05:23 |
| dreamor | Hell this beta prompted me to install it from Firefox | 05:24 |
| bazhang | bluebaby: if you wish to listen to my advice that is okay; if you have different ideas or wish others advice that is okay is well; what does lspci say about that card in the terminal (just the one line) | 05:24 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, please hold. i'll do it now. 8-) | 05:24 |
| bazhang | hardy dreamor? | 05:24 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, ctrl + alt + left gives four square now instead of one. | 05:24 |
| dreamor | bazhang: ye[ | 05:24 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, I think it's because I don't have "Custom" enabled. | 05:24 |
| MrSteve | like medotate, there will be keys | 05:25 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, enable custome | 05:25 |
| MrSteve | to use | 05:25 |
| bazhang | dreamor: but he was asking about gutsy ;] | 05:25 |
| captain | im trying to figure out how to stop my laptop screen brightness to go to bright after 3 minutes of setting the contrast to low... any ideas ?? | 05:25 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, enabling custom takes away my title bars. | 05:25 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, in a termial type compiz --replace | 05:25 |
| ogre | xchat-gnome and xchat crash on my system when I open them I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" any suggestions on how to fix this? | 05:26 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, okay, I did that. | 05:26 |
| dreamor | bazhang: ah. Never ran Gutsy. It was easy enough in fedora and Opensuse though | 05:26 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: best to head to #compiz-fusion if you dont get better advice here | 05:26 |
| aaearon | why is the 64bit version named amd64 | 05:26 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: Okay, I'll go there, too. | 05:26 |
| bazhang | dreamor: heresy! and offtopic to boot ;] | 05:26 |
| izinucs | ChaosTheory, use ctrl+alt and then use the left mouse button and drag on the screen and see what happens | 05:26 |
| oc80z | How can one SFTP to a server that runs SSH on A differnet Port than 22? | 05:26 |
| ChaosTheory | izinucs, I don't have custom enabled anymore. | 05:27 |

| ChaosTheory | bazhang: I get sound out of both my speakers and my headphones. | 05:30 |
| MrSteve | I think I got all I need.. and will back up then defrag, then try to partition off to install a dual boot.. this weekend. Look for me then, or Under net | 05:30 |

| ChaosTheory | bazhang: That also turns down the volume on my headphones. | 05:31 |
| bazhang | bluebaby: and what does ifconfig show? just eth0 and lo? | 05:31 |

| socres | is it possible to use the splashthing from suse? | 05:39 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, if we could make this current wireless card work, that would be great. | 05:40 |
| unop | nickrud, what advantage does multitail have over tail ? out of curiosity | 05:40 |
| socres | id whohld like it more, because of the verbose mode | 05:40 |
| nickrud | unop colorization, splitting the screen with ncurses, just more geeky fun | 05:40 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, to see a pic of the wireless card in my computer now, please see http://snipurl.com/23aff | 05:40 |

| lumgwada | unop: yeah tried that ... I need the non matching lines as well. cheers | 05:41 |

| chiefwigms | another question - i just reinstalled ubuntu - i can't mount any usb sticks or my other windows partition - it just says "invalid mount option" | 05:44 |
| ice109 | gawwdotnet i don't know what that means | 05:44 |

On March 31st, I removed dlink wireless card and put in a different wireless pci card. I then couldn't get any internet. I put back same model of Dlink wireless card back into the comp, expecting wireless internet to work, but it doesn't anymore. And yes, it's gutsy. | 05:47 |
| Y-Town | captain: yo9u should be able to turn that off in bios | 05:47 |

| captain | y-town, i set it to low contrast in gutsy...then after 3 minutes it shoots right up to bright . | 05:47 |

| nickrud | ports-FF no, the rebuilding of the menus is normal (probably would have synced up without) the vbox inside vmware is what is insane :) | 05:59 |
| nickrud | !dualboot | ports-FF | 06:00 |

| quail | zsiavash: have you tried sudo ./java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-linux.bin | 06:00 |
| unop | lumgwada, if you are looking for an alternative - tail -f file | perl -ne 's/(regex)/\033[1;31m$1\033[0m/g; print' | 06:00 |
| ports-FF | nickrud: plenty of resources to waste while testing it :) 2gb of ram | 06:00 |
| danuel | great. thanks nickrud | 06:01 |
| nickrud | sys admins and their perl | 06:01 |
| genii | zsiavash: Firstly if you're in recovery mode, sudo is unneccesary as you are logged on in sungle user (root) as default. Secondly why do you feel it neccesary to use recovery mode to install this application? Thirdly likely it needs bash instead of default dash which /bin/sh is linked to | 06:01 |
| zsiavash | quial:sudo ./java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-linux.bin doesnt work says command not fond | 06:01 |
| unop | nickrud, hmm yep, what would the internet do without those two? :) | 06:01 |
| lumgwada | unop: cool thanks I'll try that | 06:02 |
| ports-FF | nickrud: i just wanted to see what virtualbox was like without having to install ubuntu on my system... im curious about its seamless operation | 06:02 |
| nickrud | ports-FF if it works, try installing vmware inside it ;) | 06:02 |
| ports-FF | nickrud: out of sheer boredom... maybe lol | 06:03 |
| captain | y-town ..still here ? | 06:03 |
| ports-FF | ok time to kill this | 06:03 |
| bazhang | bluebaby: you need to try the gutsy livecd as Hardy is still beta | 06:03 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: yeah, what's the issue? | 06:03 |
| quail | zsiavash: it might be cause your trying to install it from recovery mode? | 06:04 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: The resolution is back to the way it was. | 06:04 |
| MikeMiller_ | hi | 06:04 |
| zsiavash | genii: by using bash pops this error cant not execute binary file | 06:04 |
| quail | zsiavash: oh you don't need sudo in recovery mode cause you are already root | 06:04 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: how about a simple sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 06:04 |
| MikeMiller_ | sup ppl | 06:05 |
| Y-Town | captain: yes | 06:05 |
| quail | zsiavash: chmod +x java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-linux.bin | 06:05 |
| ports | i always forget how full this room is | 06:05 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: I've tried this already. . . | 06:05 |
| MikeMiller_ | I know | 06:05 |
| MikeMiller_ | whoa creating apps? | 06:05 |
| genius | Where does network manager store it's config? I want to delete old entry from wireless networks. It connects to my old network that is barely visible instead of connecting to new network with 100% signal... | 06:05 |
| MikeMiller_ | who** | 06:05 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: what caused it to go back | 06:05 |
| zsiavash | quail: i think so but i have to because i need it to use in server | 06:05 |
| genii | zsiavash: Just: ./filename | 06:05 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: I restarted the computer to fix something with the sound (it actually totally messed up the sound). =| | 06:06 |
| genii | bin usually = binary (executable) | 06:06 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, you fixed the network issue? | 06:06 |
| MikeMiller_ | I know javascript | 06:06 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Yes. | 06:06 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, good to hear | 06:06 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Hi. ^_^ | 06:06 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, how do i install the drivers? | 06:06 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Ubuntu is making me cry. T_T | 06:06 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, why :( | 06:06 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: then start from scratch; make sure the restricted drivers are enabled, etc followed by a restart--this is gutsy ubuntu, or ubuntu based? | 06:06 |
| genius | Please help a little girl... | 06:07 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Lots of problems. =| | 06:07 |
| zsiavash | genii: command not found | 06:07 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: I can't access the restricted package manager. . . | 06:07 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, give me an overview then | 06:07 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, errors? | 06:07 |

| bazhang | ChaosTheory: please pastebin your sources.list | 06:09 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, the screen resolution is due to not having restricted drivers. | 06:09 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: I enabled the restricted drivers and I restarted for something and now it's back to normal. | 06:09 |
| bluebaby | bazhang, i have to leave now. it's getting late. thanks for your help. | 06:09 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: After I enabled the restricted drivers, it worked. | 06:09 |
| genii | zsiavash: substitute for "./filename" ./java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-linux.bin if you are in same directory the file is in. Otherwise just put something more like /the/path/to/file/java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-linux.bin where you put the actal path of course | 06:09 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, good | 06:10 |

| iositd | ChaosTheory, i c. you might have to compile alsa for that | 06:11 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, which are enabled? | 06:11 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: How do I do that? | 06:11 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, we'll come to that later | 06:11 |
| bazhang | genius: either way you have to do cli; why not go all the way into terminal-land ;] | 06:11 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, first answer bazhang who asked for your sources.list :-) | 06:12 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Lucent/Agere linmodem controller driver and NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards). | 06:12 |
| iositd | bazhang, cli all the way :-) | 06:12 |
| bazhang | ChaosTheory: please pastebin them | 06:12 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: How do I get my sources.list? | 06:12 |
| bazhang | iositd: ;] | 06:12 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:12 |

| DOOM_NX | good morning | 06:14 |
| benanzo | iositd: yes I did that but I want to authenticate the user account with a password as well, not just the key's password | 06:14 |
| captain | hey guys any idea why my main login screen when booting up shows as 800 x 600 then changes to normal resolution when logged in .. ? | 06:15 |
| zsiavash | genii: "./java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-linux.bin" it is in the same directory but wat is your idea about that when i try tu install this to the graphic environment mode it works but when i dont have graphic it doesnt work | 06:15 |
| code_kill | hey doom | 06:15 |
| DOOM_NX | i got a question related to virtual box... really simple... can anyone help me? | 06:15 |
| iositd | benanzo, the whole point of key auth is not using a password | 06:15 |
| bazhang | code_kill: fairly self-explanatory; install it and run it | 06:15 |
| code_kill | --------> (raises hand and symbols the wave) | 06:15 |
| iositd | DOOM_NX, this has beent old before to you ==> ask the question | 06:15 |
| code_kill | oh.. | 06:15 |
| code_kill | lol | 06:16 |
| code_kill | didnt see it under system tools. | 06:16 |
| code_kill | didnt know it was put there | 06:16 |
| code_kill | lol | 06:16 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, i can see you did follow my suggestion, however you forgot a few. line 6, 8,13,15 | 06:16 |
| bazhang | easy on that enter key code_kill ;] | 06:16 |
| captain | hey guys any idea why my main login screen when booting up shows as 800 x 600 then changes to normal resolution when logged in .. ? | 06:16 |
| DOOM_NX | well, i'm trying to make an "Internal Network" between Ubuntu (Host) and WinXP SP2. I just don't know what to put in "Network name" at VB Network Settings tab... | 06:16 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, so ==> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and edit those lines =) | 06:16 |
| captain | i also have a big creen with a Nvdia logo showing up before the login screen | 06:17 |
| captain | screen* | 06:17 |
| genii | zsiavash: Then obviously it's not an application which runs normally in a terminal but needs X to run. Use alt-f2 then put the /path/filename to run it in gui then. If it needs admin privelege prepend with gksu or gksudo etc etc | 06:17 |
| iositd | DOOM_NX, that's a good one. I had a guide for that. A sec | 06:17 |
| bazhang | captain: how did you install the drivers? | 06:17 |
| aubade | What command actually starts gnome? | 06:17 |
| captain | restricted drivers nvidia | 06:17 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Okay, I saved. | 06:18 |
| iositd | DOOM_NX, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346185 | 06:18 |
| DOOM_NX | just to mention, internet works through "NAT" connection... | 06:18 |
| benanzo | Yes but I'd like to password protect the key + require valid user password -- that way I can just leave my private key on my work machine and not worry about it being abused. They'd have to crack the key pass as well as my user pass. | 06:18 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, then update :-) | 06:18 |
| aubade | Just 'gnome-session'? Rather use startx w/ .xinitrc than GDM since it's a single-user box. | 06:18 |
| DOOM_NX | thanks, let me check | 06:18 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Update? | 06:18 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, sudo apt-get update | 06:18 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, BUT ONLY if you have internet on it now | 06:18 |
| kambei | aubade: That should do it. | 06:18 |
| captain | bazhang, nvidia restricted drivers. | 06:18 |
| bazhang | captain: so the splash screen is lower res but the desktop works perfectly fine? is that the gist of it? | 06:18 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: I'm talking to you from the laptop. | 06:18 |
| eros | just make your key 10 digits | 06:18 |
| captain | yup thats right baz | 06:18 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Okay, it updated. | 06:18 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, good. a sec | 06:19 |
| captain | it wasnt like this before . i fiddled around with the "screens and graphics" section.. | 06:19 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, for easy use, i'll write you a script and tell you how to run it | 06:19 |
| aubade | Aye, worked. Forgot how quick gnome can be. | 06:19 |
| ether_c | hi | 06:19 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Run what? =D | 06:19 |
| zsiavash | genii:your right but as using in server i dont have gui so i need java enterprise "glassfish_javaee" to run in server then server apps can run on it | 06:19 |
| bazhang | captain: can you un-fiddle what you fiddled? | 06:20 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, the script that i'm writing right nwo | 06:20 |
| benanzo | I guess I could just make an ultra limited user on my machine which the key will get into, then 'su me' to get regular user. that will do basically what I want. | 06:20 |
| Y-Town | captain: did you get the brightness fixed? | 06:20 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: That does what? | 06:20 |
| genii | aubade: Starting gnome from startx usually involves exec gnome-session | 06:20 |
| kambei | aubade: You could also just have GDM automatically log your (single) user in. | 06:20 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, hopefully fix your sound | 06:20 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Okay, I see. | 06:20 |
| captain | well its been more than 3 mins now ytown ..it didnt change ... so i guess it fixed itself .. | 06:20 |
| DOOM_NX | iositd, i think this one is reffereing to "Host Interface Network"... | 06:20 |
| ether_c | can someone do a quick test of compiz on ubuntu for me? Press alt+shift+up to scale the windows, then try it using shift+alt+up (different order) to see if you get the same result? | 06:20 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: It says there are 129 updates available. . . | 06:20 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, while you update i'll write your script then | 06:21 |
| iositd | DOOM_NX, yes | 06:21 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Why are there so many updates? | 06:21 |
| benanzo | What is the most limited user I can create and still be able to ssh to it and exec 'su' so I can change users (but NOT to root) ?? | 06:21 |
| DOOM_NX | hmmm i need the setting for "Internal Network" option | 06:21 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, because you haven't updated properly last night. You forgot the 2 sources that had the most updates. | 06:21 |
| captain | Bazhang, im not sure what i changed . i think the screen model ... its on generic 1440 x 900 now ... | 06:21 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Oh. | 06:21 |
| benanzo | I tried making a user with their shell 'rbash' but that's easy to get out of just by execing 'bash' | 06:21 |
| benanzo | How do I fix that? | 06:22 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Was it last night? | 06:22 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: I've lost track of time. o_O | 06:22 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, for me it was, i just woke up | 06:22 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Everything has become a continuous blur of Ubuntu. =_= | 06:22 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Oh, it's well past midnight here. | 06:22 |
| genii | zsiavash: Glassfish is a java development kit. It doesn't have anything to do with running the application you create with it on your server. | 06:23 |
| ether_c | can someone do a quick test of compiz on ubuntu for me? Press alt+shift+up to scale the windows, then try it using shift+alt+up (different order) to see if you get the same result? | 06:23 |
| chrislabeard | Hey guys | 06:23 |
| benanzo | same result on Hardy | 06:24 |
| ether_c | weird, thanks | 06:24 |
| chrislabeard | whats the command to run a program after you install it in terminal | 06:24 |
| benanzo | np | 06:24 |
| yuri_ | is there a screen managemen option available that will allow an app to not be overlapped when i maximize a window? | 06:24 |
| benanzo | chrislabeard: what program? | 06:24 |
| albech | is there a nice tool for deleting files older than 30 days? Trying to find a way to clear mails from a quarantine folder with a cron job, or can this be done through the mta or imap server? | 06:24 |
| chrislabeard | cssed | 06:25 |
| zsiavash | genii: so what servers should do when want an java aplication servers run on them | 06:25 |
| bluefoxx | are there any general CAD programs anyone can reccomend to me? | 06:25 |
| erichj | cssed is the command, but it should show up in your programming menu under applications | 06:25 |
| benanzo | Does it not appear in the menu? it should | 06:25 |
| benanzo | otherwise just run 'cssed' in the term | 06:25 |
| usuario | dodo | 06:25 |
| chrislabeard | ok | 06:25 |
| benanzo | thats a really good app btw | 06:26 |
| benanzo | use it all the time | 06:26 |
| usuario | quero fuder | 06:26 |

| DOOM_NX | iositd: please take a look: http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/1702/screenshotwinxpsettingsui4.png | 06:26 |
| benanzo | Ubuntu's is better | 06:26 |
| erichj | chrislabeard, about $2000 | 06:26 |
| benanzo | many more options but really for power-users | 06:26 |
| Demone | hey all, not used to ubuntu, attempting to install kde4base and kde4base-dev and getting not founds for the qt4 packages | 06:26 |
| chrislabeard | erichj: i know but i can do the same stuff in both terminals | 06:27 |
| bluefoxx | anyone? | 06:27 |
| benanzo | both use the 'bash' shell (or maybe OS X uses zsh?" | 06:27 |
| erichj | os x uses bash | 06:27 |
| Demone | osx uses bash | 06:27 |
| iositd | DOOM_NX, i only use host only networking myself, so can't help there | 06:27 |
| DOOM_NX | i see | 06:27 |
| chrislabeard | yeah its bash | 06:27 |
| DOOM_NX | thanks a lot though | 06:27 |

I have changed my BIOS so the first boot device is "USB FDD" but grub keeps booting me into my old dapper installation instead of the new gutsy CD. what do I do? | 06:28 |
| bluefoxx | SkinnYPupp: kk, will look it up | 06:28 |
| bazhang | luciddream: set it in the bios to boot from usb stick if it allows it | 06:28 |
| SkinnYPupp | bluefox: synergy by weber has a cam backend | 06:28 |
| luciddream | bazhang: I thought I had done that but it just keeps booting into my old dapper installation | 06:29 |
| bazhang | luciddream: you may need to hold down esc key to make it stick iirc | 06:29 |
| zsiavash | genii:thanks alot your my hero | 06:29 |
| bazhang | luciddream: or just unetbootin which is a new way to do it from within dapper | 06:30 |
| SkinnYPupp | bluefox: Whats your useage ? | 06:30 |
| luciddream | bazhang: holding down esc brings me into the GRUB menu | 06:30 |
| lkthomas_ | hey guys | 06:30 |

| genii | I'm out | 06:30 |
| lkthomas_ | where can I find a full featured ffmpeg ? | 06:30 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, copy this script into an empty file ==> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61987/ | 06:32 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: How do I get an empty file? =D | 06:32 |
| acxty | HI guys, I know this is not the correct place for asking this, but does someone had work with kannel? | 06:33 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, alright, in terminal type ==> gedit sound.sh | 06:33 |
| anteaya | when i want a program to execute upon reboot, what file do I modify? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | luciddream: you could wait a couple of weeks and do a LTS to LTS one step upgrade via the net also | 06:34 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Yes. Then? | 06:34 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, copy the text in, save it, then close it. type this ==> chmod +x sound.sh | 06:34 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Okay, done. | 06:36 |
| bazhang | luciddream: I have to step away for a bit; will help out later if you need it | 06:36 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, once you're done updating (don't break it off, just let it continue first) run this ==> ./sound.sh | 06:37 |
| anteaya | when i want a program to run when i boot up, what file do I modify? | 06:37 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, that'll download the latest sources, copy them to the right folder, extract them, compile them, and then remove the unneeded stuff. | 06:37 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Okay, it's about 3/4ths of the way through applying the changes. | 06:37 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Wow, okay. Thanks. | 06:37 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, then after that you can execute the script :) | 06:37 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, i'm off for breakfast now, we'll talk later k? | 06:37 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Execute the script. . . | 06:37 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Yes, sure. | 06:37 |
| iositd | ChaosTheory, ==> ./sound.sh (ask bazhang if you're lost) | 06:38 |
| bazhang | anteaya: why not just save the session with the apps you want open as is | 06:38 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Okay, thanks. | 06:38 |
| iositd | later folks | 06:38 |
| bazhang | iositd: haha I'm out for a bit and that is way over my head ;] | 06:38 |
| bazhang | cya iositd | 06:38 |
| Co_dJAiL | kkk | 06:39 |
| anteaya | bazhang: because this is a program for a server that i need to run when the server is rebooted, the server is debian | 06:39 |
| bazhang | anteaya: and where does ubuntu enter into this? ;] | 06:39 |
| T1m0thy | lll? | 06:39 |
| anteaya | because i am on ubuntu and am helping my friend on a debian server | 06:40 |
| anteaya | i know it can be done, i have seen the conversation in here before | 06:40 |
| ChaosTheory | bazhang: ./sound .sh gives "bash: ./sound: No such file or directory" | 06:40 |
| bazhang | anteaya: nice answer but #debian will help more; should be similar to ubuntu, but not the same | 06:40 |
| SkinnYPupp | !nfs | 06:40 |
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 06:40 |
| anteaya | so are you saying that i can't run a program on my laptop at boot up | 06:40 |
| anteaya | or you don't know where the file is? | 06:41 |
| DOOM_NX | guys i think it's really really simple, but i don't know the answer... what do i have to put there: http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/1702/screenshotwinxpsettingsui4.png | 06:41 |
| anteaya | because i would also like to know for myself | 06:41 |
| bazhang | anteaya: of course you can; but that has a gui and a server does not; and a debian server is a province of their channel | 06:41 |
| anteaya | okay so know i am asking for myself, where is the file? | 06:42 |
| anteaya | and my program currently doesn't have a gui | 06:42 |
| anteaya | just script | 06:42 |
| bazhang | anteaya: you want to edit it by hand? or want the gui | 06:42 |
| anteaya | by hand | 06:42 |
| bazhang | for a debian server? no idea sorry | 06:42 |

| T1m0thy | XChat | 06:44 |

| SkinnYPupp | DOOM_NX are you running it on another linux box and connecting to from a linux box | 06:52 |
| SkinnYPupp | if so XDMCP login is what you need | 06:53 |

| IcemanV9 | kraft__: you need to disable X-forwarding over ssh | 06:54 |
| luciddream | good night | 06:54 |
| SkinnYPupp | No, what are you running on the machine you are connecting from? | 06:54 |

| IcemanV9 | anteaya: and make sure it is executable | 06:55 |
| anteaya | IcemanV9: so i put a softlink in the /etc/init.d directory and that will work. Okay, do i have to change any file permissions? | 06:55 |
| kraft__ | IcemanV9: thanks | 06:55 |
| anteaya | IcemanV9: yes, thank you, it is currently executable | 06:56 |

| DOOM_NX | i mean i can forward ports for applications running on ubuntu, ok? how can i forward ports for the WinXP applications? running in the virtual machine? | 06:57 |
| DOOM_NX | thanks... let me check | 06:57 |
| SkinnYPupp | Sure gotta get away from the monitor a few | 06:58 |

| HangukMiguk | lol, fair enough | 07:40 |
| Lap_Top | and in inkscape i cant even able to access my customer's freehandfile | 07:40 |
| zambaboo | HangukMiguk, find /path -name 'r*' |less | 07:40 |
| zambaboo | Lap_Top, you need freehand then. | 07:41 |
| unop_ | HangukMiguk, xlsfonts | grep -i "^r" | less | 07:41 |
| Flannel | rabiddachshund: usermod -G www-data -a [username] | 07:41 |
| Lap_Top | but i dont want to leave ubuntu its best os i have ever find | 07:41 |
| Lap_Top | i m satisfied with os | 07:41 |
| Flannel | Lap_Top: Freehand should be able to open standard vector graphics formats. | 07:41 |
| Madpilot | Lap_Top, ask in #inkscape | 07:41 |
| rabiddachshund | flannel: testing | 07:41 |
| cristi1990 | how do i reinstall grub? | 07:42 |
| Flannel | !grub | cristi1990, first linkslice | 07:42 |
| ubotu | cristi1990, first linkslice: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:42 |
| Flannel | cristi1990: first link, sorry. | 07:42 |
| HangukMiguk | ugh | 07:42 |
| HangukMiguk | great | 07:42 |
| zambaboo | whats the deal with evo-exchange, is that being fixed? | 07:42 |
| HangukMiguk | font still isn't there | 07:42 |
| alan_m | dang, flannel beat me to it :) | 07:42 |
| zambaboo | HangukMiguk, whats the name of the font? | 07:42 |
| zambaboo | grep -i for it | 07:42 |
| HangukMiguk | Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever | 07:43 |
| zambaboo | grep -i for ro | 07:43 |
| rabiddachshund | flannel: wait, now I have to reset the permissions right? | 07:44 |
| HangukMiguk | still not there | 07:44 |
| DOOM_NX | guys, to install vmware on ubuntu it says: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r | 07:44 |
| DOOM_NX | how do i know mine? | 07:44 |
| HangukMiguk | is there a reason my fonts in my ~/.fonts folder aren't showing up? | 07:44 |
| Flannel | rabiddachshund: yes, make that stuff owned by www-data:www-data | 07:45 |
| rabiddachshund | flannel: and I do that by... | 07:45 |
| zambaboo | DOOM_NX, you're missing a backtick there | 07:45 |
| IcemanV9 | DOOM_NX: just do as it says, but add ` at the end | 07:45 |
| DOOM_NX | cause | 07:46 |
| Flannel | rabiddachshund: I'm sort of wondering how you managed to change it if you're not sure. | 07:46 |
| DOOM_NX | below it says he used: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic | 07:46 |
| rabiddachshund | flannel: I have no clue. I'm learning by experience as opposed to being taught | 07:46 |
| zambaboo | DOOM_NX, uname -a will get executed before apt-get install because it is enclosed in backticks | 07:46 |
| Flannel | rabiddachshund: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www | 07:47 |
| Flannel | !cli | rabiddachshund | 07:47 |
| ubotu | rabiddachshund: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 07:47 |
| DOOM_NX | oooh i see... | 07:47 |
| DOOM_NX | thanks a lot | 07:47 |
| zambaboo | DOOM_NX, np. | 07:47 |
| DOOM_NX | so i just type the 1st command? | 07:47 |
| zambaboo | yes | 07:47 |

| niktoni | hey i have a problem : i wanted to add my user to vboxusers group, i did usermod -a -G vboxusers username and all my administration privileges disappeared from the menus :/ any help? | 07:47 |
| Flannel | niktoni: it's usermod -G vboxusers -a username | 07:48 |
| HangukMiguk | i'm missing an entire directory of fonts when using xlsfonts, how do i add them? | 07:48 |
| niktoni | how to do back the changes Flannel? :/ | 07:48 |
| Flannel | niktoni: but, what you did was, instead of appending vboxusers to your groups, you set it to vboxusers (and nothing else). Do you have another user with admin privledges on the box? | 07:48 |
| niktoni | i have root | 07:48 |
| Flannel | er... why did you enable the root account? | 07:48 |
| niktoni | root is always there, eh? i just set a pass on it, i dont remember why - i guess now i know why | 07:49 |
| NorD | hello | 07:49 |
| niktoni | i know its a security hazard flannel | 07:49 |
| icesword | ；） | 07:49 |
| NorD | who can help with change mac-address in ubuntu | 07:49 |
| icesword | ;) | 07:49 |
| zambaboo | NorD, man iptables | 07:50 |
| icesword | hello | 07:50 |
| alan_m | hello icesword, do you have a question? | 07:50 |
| Flannel | niktoni: Well, we suggest you disable it. And since you have it, we can go ahead and use it, but if you didn't, you'd simply reboot into the recovery console. ANyway, usermod -G adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin -a username | 07:50 |
| unop_ | zambaboo, iptables?? | 07:50 |
| Flashq009 | hello room | 07:50 |
| icesword | alan_m, no,that appearance worked. | 07:50 |
| Flannel | niktoni: Those are the default groups for an admin user | 07:50 |
| NorD | im noob .... 1 day use llinux =( and need change mac, for active internet ) | 07:50 |
| unop_ | NorD, see ethtool -- it can do that for you | 07:50 |
| zambaboo | unop_, yes? | 07:50 |
| icesword | i mean :) and :p | 07:50 |
| zambaboo | eeeeeeeeerrr i meant ifconfig! :) | 07:51 |
| unop_ | zambaboo, iptables to change the mac address? how did you arrive at that? | 07:51 |
| niktoni | Flannel thanks a lot :) | 07:51 |
| zambaboo | sorry about that | 07:51 |
| alan_m | hmm | 07:51 |
| icesword | alan_m, just add a icon.conf and ico to my ~/.xchat/ | 07:52 |
| alan_m | okiedokie | 07:52 |
| Flannel | niktoni: Er, sorry. Those should be separated by commas, not spaces (no spaces, just commas) | 07:52 |
| NorD | unop_, how i can change iptables ? xD | 07:52 |
| brian | Can someone please help me attempt to get KDX(http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/, free to try, no installation) working? I really have no idea how to use it... The LINUX version is a .zip file, with a .lexe file in it, that does nothing when I try to click on it(New to Ubuntu btw) | 07:53 |
| friedtofu | hm no idea what is a .lexe file | 07:53 |
| Lap_Top | Is there any anti virus for ubuntu | 07:53 |
| friedtofu | try ./(filename) | 07:53 |
| rabiddachshund | flannel: it's still not letting me do what I want. | 07:54 |
| icesword | alan_m, what you mean,okiedokie? | 07:54 |
| _maw | brian: did you check ubuntus package manager for 'kdx' first? | 07:54 |
| friedtofu | Lap_Top i really doubt there are any viruses | 07:54 |
| alan_m | im saying OK, ill try that icesword | 07:54 |
| erichj | there are no known linux viruses | 07:54 |
| alan_m | you just add those two blank files icesword? | 07:54 |
| Lap_Top | friedtofu: mean i should not be scared from viruses | 07:54 |
| IcemanV9 | Lap_Top: no need to have anti-virus on linux | 07:54 |
| alan_m | Lap_Top, no | 07:54 |
| icesword | alan_m, no,it is not blank | 07:54 |
| Lap_Top | thanks ppl | 07:55 |
| brian | _maw: That I did not... >.< I'll do that now. | 07:55 |
| _maw | virus' are a thing of the past, now its just compromise web browser and install trojan for bot access later | 07:55 |
| unop_ | NorD, forget iptables was even mentioned, zambaboo meant ifconfig | 07:55 |
| Lap_Top | how to make my computer secure from others | 07:55 |
| unop_ | NorD, ifconfig eth0 hw ether <desired_mac_address> | 07:55 |
| Lap_Top | is there any way | 07:55 |
| icesword | alan_m, it is like .ico is that appearance file,icon.conf is a conf file | 07:55 |
| compwiz18 | Lap_Top: turn it off and unplug it ;) | 07:55 |
| _maw | and linux is vulnerable to browser exploits | 07:55 |
| compwiz18 | Lap_Top: seriously though, Ubuntu is fine by default | 07:55 |
| compwiz18 | Lap_Top: it is about as secure as it gets | 07:55 |
| Llewxam | Lap_Top: as long as you don't give your root password to anyone, ubuntu is perfectly safe from any cracking. | 07:56 |
| Lap_Top | so you mean any one can install trojan and access my computer even if i have ubuntu | 07:56 |
| compwiz18 | Lap_Top: no, they can't | 07:56 |
| brian | _maw: Nope, not there. It's just one standalone .lexe file, but I have no idea how to open it. Clicking it does nothing. | 07:56 |
| alan_m | Lap_Top, no | 07:56 |
| unop_ | Llewxam, he shouldn't ever have a root password to give out :) | 07:56 |
| compwiz18 | !security | 07:56 |

| andb | about root passwords, just use grub to boot into single user mode... | 07:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | hi | 07:56 |
| Llewxam | unop_, hehe indeed | 07:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | i need some help | 07:57 |
| unop_ | brian, find out what kind of file it is. use the file command. file /path/to/filename | 07:57 |
| Adantan_Alex | one of my computers wont run ubuntu | 07:57 |
| alan_m | !ask | adantan_alex | 07:57 |
| ubotu | adantan_alex: 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. :-) | 07:57 |
| erichj | Lap_Top, Just remember that it doesn't matter how secure something is there is a certain level of user responsibility associated with keeping you computer safe. | 07:57 |
| alan_m | nevermind that command | 07:57 |
| Lap_Top | ompwiz18: Lap_Top: turn it off and unplug it (I Dont Get You What Exactly i suppose to turn off) | 07:57 |
| erichj | Lap_Top, switching to linux was a good start | 07:57 |
| compwiz18 | Lap_Top: that was a joke, sorry :) | 07:58 |
| Adantan_Alex | :) | 07:58 |
| alan_m | adantan_alex, what errors are you receiving? if any? | 07:58 |
| brian | unop_: Whats the path for the Desktop? I can never remember that... | 07:58 |
| Adantan_Alex | no it runs the live CD but then it stops | 07:58 |
| Llewxam | well for the reason i came here then... anyone know how to work with internal microphones on hp dv6000 notebooks? codec is a Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) and i can't get any capture from my mic. | 07:58 |
| Adantan_Alex | all u see is the mouse | 07:58 |
| erichj | /home/Desktop | 07:58 |
| unop_ | brian, ~/Desktop ? | 07:58 |
| compwiz18 | brian: erichj /home/username/Desktop | 07:58 |
| unop_ | erichj, err no | 07:58 |
| Adantan_Alex | forgot something all you see is a mouse and the orange back round | 07:58 |
| alan_m | adantan_alex, how much ram do you have? | 07:58 |
| erichj | yeah I just caught that | 07:58 |
| Adantan_Alex | dunno im having a feeling that its the ram | 07:58 |
| niktoni | Flannel? | 07:58 |
| Adantan_Alex | will xubuntu work on it? | 07:59 |
| brian | unop_: /home/brian/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped | 07:59 |
| compwiz18 | Adantan_Alex: what video card does it have? | 07:59 |
| niktoni | how do i disable root acc? | 07:59 |
| brian | compwiz18: Thanks | 07:59 |
| Adantan_Alex | dont know about video card | 07:59 |
| Adantan_Alex | never checked ^^ | 07:59 |
| alan_m | Adantan_Alex, unless you give us a specific ammount of ram, we cant prove or disprove the ram :/ | 07:59 |
| alan_m | or...video card for that matter. | 07:59 |
| compwiz18 | brian: for 2.2.5 -- that's a long time ago | 07:59 |
| unop_ | brian, what does this command do? ~/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe | 07:59 |
| Adantan_Alex | 256 megabytes.... i know u need 384 megs to run the live CD but i was only going to install it.... | 07:59 |
| compwiz18 | brian: how old is htis program? | 07:59 |
| ltracy | Is anybody here running Gutsy on a Dell D620? | 08:00 |
| ltracy | or similar Lattitude notebook | 08:00 |
| compwiz18 | Adantan_Alex: you need 192 to run the desktop cd, I think.. | 08:00 |
| brian | compwiz18: Would it still work though? And I dunno how old it is... Site is at http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/ if you want to look | 08:00 |
| Adantan_Alex | it will go on this computer but i dont want to take any risks with windows | 08:00 |
| compwiz18 | someone correct me if I'm wrong | 08:00 |
| cpk1 | what kind of DE does the alternate cd install (if any)? | 08:00 |
| Adantan_Alex | nah i read the thing | 08:00 |
| Adantan_Alex | it said 384 | 08:00 |
| === NorD1c is now known as nordazavr3000 | ||
| brian | unop_:bash: /home/brian/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe: Permission denied | 08:00 |
| alan_m | cpk1, gnome if its the ubuntu-alternative, kde if kubuntu-alternative | 08:00 |
| IcemanV9 | Adantan_Alex: use alternative cd to install (much quicker than livecd) | 08:01 |
| Madpilot | cpk1, same as the desktop does - GNOME by default, or KDE if you get Kubuntu | 08:01 |
| avi_me | hi , I have a file system file which I took from my work place , it's was encrypted on etch , when i try to mount it in ubunutu i get a "ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument" - I mount it with mount -t ext3 -o encryption=aes256,loop=/dev/loop0,noauto,user /mnt/sdb/storage /mnt/enc2 ... can anyone give me some pointers ? | 08:01 |
| Adantan_Alex | but since its the ram will it run xubuntu on 256 megabytes of ram? | 08:01 |
| harsh1 | I have installed VLC, helix, Mplayer, Realplayer 10 with all available Codecs still my Video playback speed is below 1x i.e slow regardless of which type of video file you are playing? | 08:01 |

| _maw | brian did 'kdx' exist as a synaptic package? | 08:01 |
| compwiz18 | cpk1: its just like the normal cd, only it doesn't have the livecd features | 08:01 |
| Adantan_Alex | yes but then i got to re download plus i want to dual boot windows and linux | 08:01 |
| nordazavr3000 | how off or restart eth0 | 08:01 |
| unop | brian, ok try this then. chmod +x ~/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe; ~/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe | 08:01 |
| nordazavr3000 | ? | 08:01 |
| nordazavr3000 | !calc | 08:01 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about calc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:01 |
| brian | _maw: Nope. There really wouldn't be any reason to, as its supposed to just be the one file to run it all, no install or anything. | 08:01 |
| Adantan_Alex | will i be able to dual boot with windows and ubuntu if i use alternate CD? | 08:02 |
| nordazavr3000 | !calc mac | 08:02 |

| cpk1 | oh I see, so would it be silly then for me to install off the server cd so I can be more picky about packages? | 08:02 |
| Adantan_Alex | ty | 08:02 |
| nordazavr3000 | stupid bot =( | 08:02 |
| _maw | brian: maybe get the windows version and run it inside wine than | 08:02 |
| unop | nordazavr3000, sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 | 08:02 |
| compwiz18 | cpk1: the *server* cd on the other hand, just installs the server | 08:02 |
| Adantan_Alex | yes x86 options.... | 08:02 |
| alan_m | !botabuse | 08:02 |
| ubotu | Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 08:02 |
| compwiz18 | cpk1: so yes, you could just instlal the packages you want | 08:02 |
| unop | nordazavr3000, the bot only understands meaningful instructions not just any random thing | 08:02 |
| Lap_Top | I Am Happy With Ubuntu Even I Sacrifieced Many Sofware For Ubuntu Which I Use To Use At Windos But Why My computer Keep Getting Slow Day By Day | 08:03 |
| brian | unop: I love you. Very very very much. :D It worked. Now, will I be able to just click on the icon from now on? Or perhaps make a shortcut that uses that command to open it? | 08:03 |
| niktoni | whats better - xen or virtualbox? | 08:03 |
| unop | brian, that should work yes | 08:03 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok so how do i get the alternate CD? | 08:03 |
| brian | _maw: :D unop got it working... Thanks though! | 08:03 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, how much mem | 08:03 |
| _maw | cheers | 08:03 |
| cpk1 | compwiz18: so it wouldnt be an excercise in futility even though after installing off the server cd I will be installing a DE? | 08:03 |
| alan_m | !alternative | Adantan_Alex | 08:03 |
| ubotu | Adantan_Alex: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 08:03 |
| alan_m | dang, thought it had a link, oops | 08:03 |
| simplexio | niktoni: depends what you need | 08:03 |
| compwiz18 | cpk1: that's right: server gets you a terminal, you can then install the DE and other stuff | 08:03 |
| compwiz18 | kinda fun if you're bored | 08:03 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: 1 Giga Memory | 08:03 |
| cpk1 | compwiz18: or just want more control over all the packages =) | 08:04 |
| compwiz18 | cpk1: that too :) | 08:04 |
| Madpilot | Lap_Top, 1GB of RAM is ample for Ubuntu. Unlike Windows, newer versions of Ubuntu are *faster* on the same hardware! | 08:04 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, then everything has the right driver,no restricted? | 08:04 |
| brian | unop: Ok, so that I know for next time... What did that command actually do? | 08:04 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: I Have Pentium 4 Intel 2 Giga Processor | 08:04 |
| Adantan_Alex | !minimal | 08:04 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:04 |
| niktoni | simplexio - install windows to run one app that wouldnt work well with wine - does any of them allow to move files to the host filesystem? | 08:04 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: No I Dont Have Any Restricted Driver | 08:04 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, hehe,no,i mean,en,it is okay | 08:05 |
| Adantan_Alex | problem | 08:05 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok thats going to be a problem.... | 08:05 |
| alan_m | with? Adantan_Alex ? | 08:05 |
| Adantan_Alex | will i be able to dual boot windows and ubuntu with alternate CD? | 08:05 |
| harsh1 | I have installed VLC, helix, Mplayer, Realplayer 10 with all available Codecs still my Video playback speed is below 1x i.e slow regardless of which type of video file you are playing? | 08:05 |
| Madpilot | Adantan_Alex, of course. | 08:05 |
| unop | brian, i made the file executable -- i believe you can do this by also right clicking the file -> permissions properties -> set execute (i dont have gnome so this could be off) .. | 08:05 |
| alan_m | Adantan_Alex, yes of course! | 08:05 |
| unop | brian, from the terminal. chmod +x ~/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe; ~/Desktop/KDXClient.lexe | 08:06 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, then what is slow,what app | 08:06 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: no my friend i found my computer getting slow day by day and it got stuck some time during doing work | 08:06 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok and drive partitions? | 08:06 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok i guess so | 08:06 |
| simplexio | niktoni: vbox is easy, and you can use samba to moce files | 08:06 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, then you can kill some services unneeded | 08:06 |
| alan_m | Adantan_Alex, you can do everything the desktop cd does...just without a desktop gui | 08:06 |
| Adantan_Alex | whats the link? | 08:06 |
| brian | unop: Ah, I see :D Thanks. I'll remember that for next time(Need to set up the server still, and then set up clients on friends boxes! | 08:07 |
| Lap_Top | how to kill services | 08:07 |
| brian | unop: Thanks a bunch :) | 08:07 |

| alan_m | Adantan_Alex, hang in there im downloading a iso image myself, once i get done with that ill get you the link, or if someone would help me out :) | 08:07 |
| simplexio | niktoni: far as i know, you cant run windows in xen if you dont have right cpu | 08:07 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: i dont have any services | 08:07 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok thanks | 08:07 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, no,i mean background services | 08:07 |
| niktoni | thx simplexio - pendrive would be convenient but i heard open source version of virtualbox doesnt have usb | 08:07 |
| alan_m | Guys, someone got the link to the alternate ISO image? | 08:08 |
| karayan | Hello all if I download and install Hardy beta, when the final version comes out should I download it again or can I do an upgrade? | 08:08 |
| alan_m | if so...please help Adantan_Alex thanks! | 08:08 |
| Lap_Top | i use pidgin / word processor/ mozilla/ vlc/ sometime download | 08:08 |
| alan_m | karayan, when it comes out, just update like normal | 08:08 |
| Adantan_Alex | thanks man | 08:08 |
| unop | alan_m, redirect him to !google, it can't be very hard finding a download :) | 08:08 |
| unop | Adantan_Alex, ^^ | 08:08 |
| harsh1 | I have installed VLC, helix, Mplayer, Realplayer 10 with all available Codecs still my Video playback speed is below 1x i.e slow regardless of which type of video file you are playing? | 08:08 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: i use pidgin / word processor/ mozilla/ vlc/ sometime download | 08:09 |
| Madpilot | karayan, if you install beta, and keep updating, you'll get to final when it comes out | 08:09 |
| Adantan_Alex | .... dont worry i will look on site | 08:09 |
| alan_m | unop, i was trying not to go to google, but hey as a last resort there you go buddy. | 08:09 |
| alan_m | :/ | 08:09 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, i see,that openoffice and firefox all use lots of mem | 08:09 |
| Adantan_Alex | there is a x fire plug in for pig din isnt there? | 08:09 |
| unop | alan_m, were you relying on one of us to have committed a download URL to memory? :) | 08:09 |
| simplexio | harsh1: maybe video source is "slow" with mplayer try } to speed it | 08:09 |
| Lap_Top | icesword: i have 1 giga memory | 08:10 |
| alan_m | no, i was expecting ubotu to ;) | 08:10 |
| Adantan_Alex | well used to be called gaim | 08:10 |
| alan_m | lol | 08:10 |
| karayan | alan_m, Madpilot, thanks. Usuall will the update be big? I mean the size I have to download again. | 08:10 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, you run free in terminal to see, | 08:10 |
| Madpilot | karayan, shouldn't be. You'll have a LOT of daily updates between now and release, though. | 08:10 |
| alan_m | karayan, depending on how many updates they spit out between the hardy start and now. | 08:10 |
| icesword | Lap_Top, free | 08:10 |
| Adantan_Alex | so whats the difference if u buy ubuntu? | 08:11 |
| alan_m | karayan, not even I am sure of how big/how many updates, but when you DO get it, then the support room will be #ubuntu+1, not in #ubuntu | 08:11 |
| bluecake | where is the config file for tac_plus, pstree says it's running | 08:11 |
| Lap_Top | free 96184 | 08:11 |
| alan_m | that is....until a few weeks from now karayan. | 08:11 |

| ubotu | mike__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 08:23 |
| tuna | mmm4m5m: if you want to install it in your home dir, that is where it goes. | 08:23 |

| huy | hi, ubuntu keeps crashing on me, and i have no idea why. is there a way to find out? | 08:23 |
| bidget | can anyone give me a hand with this problem? Ive been on the forums for a while but nobody seems to know what to do lol | 08:24 |
| Adantan_Alex | lol | 08:24 |
| terminhell | mike__: like to install them or after installing? | 08:24 |
| bidget | install | 08:24 |
| Adantan_Alex | bye | 08:24 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok | 08:24 |
| bidget | I can't install, I think maybe my graphics card isnt supported? | 08:24 |
| bluecake | i ve install proftpd, how to use it? | 08:24 |
| tuna | huy: there are plenty of logs in /var/log look at the kernel logs in particular | 08:24 |
| Adantan_Alex | !alternate | 08:24 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 08:24 |
| Adantan_Alex | bidget: try the alternate CD | 08:24 |
| bidget | I click the install button and it says loading kernel, then it goes to a black screen, monitor shuts off as if going into hibernate or standby or something | 08:24 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: are you running on a laptop? | 08:24 |
| bidget | no | 08:24 |
| bidget | desktop | 08:25 |
| mike__ | i installed emerald after compiz fusion then i did --replace and window borders are checked and it shows some red window border but when i go to select mine it wont do it and then they disapear | 08:25 |
| tuna | huy: although it you use ati drivers, I can tell you the reason for the crashes right now... | 08:25 |
| Adantan_Alex | im running a lap top and the live CD works | 08:25 |
| mmm4m5m | tuna: 10x a lot | 08:25 |
| Adantan_Alex | bidget: whats your ram? | 08:25 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: try perhaps this boot command "noapic nolapic", it may just work. | 08:25 |
| bidget | 2gb | 08:25 |
| bidget | or do you want like the brand and model | 08:25 |
| terminhell | mike__: it sounds hardware related or your openGL isng configured correctly | 08:25 |
| Adantan_Alex | bidget: ok refer to corbinfox | 08:25 |
| bidget | hmm ok | 08:25 |
| bidget | noapic nolapic | 08:26 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: if that doesnt work try "noapic noirqdebug" | 08:26 |
| bidget | ok brb lol we'll see what happens | 08:26 |
| mike__ | im using xgl | 08:26 |
| CorbinFox | i have had varying success with the first one | 08:26 |
| CorbinFox | the second one made my laptop work flawlessly | 08:26 |

| PaulM | my system recognizes the usb hard drive adaptor when it's not plugged into a powered HD, but the moment I power the HD, it disappears from lsub | 08:28 |
| PaulM | *lsusb | 08:28 |
| bidget | ok so I hit F6 | 08:29 |
| bidget | and a little boot options thing popped up | 08:29 |
| bidget | I typed in noapic nolapic | 08:29 |
| Adantan_Alex | downloading the CD again lol | 08:29 |
| bidget | annnd it just booted me into my xp installation | 08:29 |
| bidget | should I be typing something else corbinfox? | 08:29 |
| CorbinFox | hmm | 08:29 |
| bidget | like -noapic | 08:30 |
| Adantan_Alex | o0 | 08:30 |
| bidget | or something | 08:30 |
| Adantan_Alex | yeah | 08:30 |
| huy | tuna: i'm running windows right now. | 08:30 |
| CorbinFox | i never needed to on my system, but try it. if that doesnt work then try "noapic noirqdebug" | 08:30 |
| bidget | I was talking to someone on the forums and they said to try the safe graphics mode but it didnt work either | 08:30 |
| CorbinFox | after that im about useless :P | 08:30 |
| huy | tuna: for the last 2 hours, ubuntu crashed 3 times on me. i need to finish my work | 08:30 |
| bidget | ok brb we'll see how it goes :D | 08:30 |
| tuna | huy: k. next time you start ubuntu, go straight to look at /var/log/kern.log. usually it tells you what caused it there | 08:32 |
| huy | with gedit right? | 08:32 |
| huy | tuna: with gedit right? | 08:33 |
| CorbinFox | huy: sudo gedit pathname | 08:33 |
| adrian_2002ca | hi, any hope of getting compiz to work on a SiS 315 card? | 08:33 |
| CorbinFox | that should do it | 08:33 |
| tuna | huy, yeah | 08:33 |
| w5 | kk | 08:34 |
| k0rvin | hi 2 all, when I download some files by wget -c <url>, every 2-3 seconds it stops with message "progress.c:972: create_image: The verifying statement `p - bp->buffer <= bp->width' is not executed." but Opera normaly downloads same files. Can you say something about this problem? | 08:35 |
| bidget | so I got a little farther :D | 08:35 |
| huy | tuna: thanks. i'll boot into ubuntu now | 08:35 |
| CorbinFox | oh? details! | 08:35 |
| bidget | until it said KERNEL PANIC vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) | 08:35 |
| bidget | there was something else between vfs and unable but I forget | 08:35 |
| bidget | mighta said sync in there somewhere | 08:35 |
| bidget | but you get the idea right | 08:35 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: and that was with nolapic or noirqdebug? | 08:36 |
| bidget | yeah | 08:36 |
| bidget | no actually | 08:36 |
| bidget | it was with noapic noirqdebug | 08:36 |
| adrian_2002ca | anyone, is there any hope of getting compiz to run on a SIS315 or should I just give up forever? | 08:36 |
| bidget | not nolapic | 08:36 |
| bidget | um dude Im pretty sure you cant get anything to run on an SIS card | 08:36 |
| bidget | my girlfriends laptop has SIS graphics and UGH | 08:36 |
| greg | bonjour a tous j'ai un souci de resolution d'ecran, je dois etre 800x600 voir moins | 08:37 |

| ubotu | greg: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 08:37 |
| bidget | well you might get it to run but | 08:37 |
| bidget | it wouldnt do very well | 08:37 |
| bidget | at least I wouldnt expect it to anyway | 08:37 |
| Frogzoo | greg: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 08:37 |
| adrian_2002ca | bidget: can i get it to direct render at least | 08:37 |
| bidget | Im no linux expert all I really know is how to log in and change directories and move and copy stuff lol | 08:37 |
| bidget | you're asking the wrong guy man sorry | 08:37 |
| bidget | all I know is SIS graphics = LOW performance | 08:38 |
| adrian_2002ca | lol...tru tru | 08:38 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: if you didnt try noirqdebug yet then try that. when i used nolapic i was able to install and boot but my hardware was acting up (like USB ports not working) | 08:38 |
| BuddyChrist | How can I edit grub (permanently) to load "root (hd1,0)" instead of "root (hd0,0)"? | 08:38 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: but noirqdebug got it to install and run properly. i have no issues yet | 08:38 |
| bidget | no I tried noirqdebug | 08:38 |
| CorbinFox | hmm | 08:38 |
| bidget | I typed in "noapic noirqdebug" | 08:38 |
| bidget | and it got a bit farther, at least my monitor didnt shut off this time haha | 08:38 |
| bidget | so I could at least see the error message | 08:39 |
| CorbinFox | well, at this point i become useless. sorry | 08:39 |
| bidget | alright well thanks anyway man | 08:39 |
| bidget | I'm going to try that alternate cd, we'll see if that works | 08:39 |
| CorbinFox | good luck | 08:39 |
| bidget | or should I maybe try the new 8.0 version? | 08:39 |
| bidget | my video card is kinda new maybe its not supported in this 7.10 version? | 08:39 |
| CorbinFox | try it | 08:39 |
| greg | Frogzoo> mon terminal ne souvre pas | 08:39 |
| bidget | hmm | 08:39 |
| hp | tuna: i logged into ubuntu, what should i be looking for? | 08:40 |
| CorbinFox | i didnt need to do any noapic stuff with 8.04 for some reason | 08:40 |
| CorbinFox | so perhaps it boots better | 08:40 |
| bidget | hmmm I see | 08:40 |
| bidget | well I'll give it a shot | 08:40 |
| bidget | if Im not back soon | 08:40 |
| bidget | then it means I was successful :D | 08:40 |
| CorbinFox | okay then, hope it works | 08:40 |
| bidget | or I smashed my monitor with a hammer | 08:40 |
| bidget | most likely the former though | 08:40 |
| CorbinFox | hope the first | 08:40 |
| bidget | thanks for the help though :) | 08:40 |

| CorbinFox | bidget" the alternate cd is just text based, but it has more compatibility to run the install from | 08:46 |
| bidget | ah I see | 08:47 |
| bidget | probably a little more complicated to install too then right | 08:47 |
| Adantan_Alex | um | 08:47 |
| Adantan_Alex | if i unstall ubuntu | 08:47 |
| CorbinFox | a little bit. but it isn't bad | 08:47 |

| bidget | well as long as it installs | 08:47 |
| Adantan_Alex | can i install xubuntu after i install ubuntu? | 08:47 |
| bidget | hmmm | 08:47 |
| === Krad is now known as krad | ||
| Adantan_Alex | just encase of a mess up? | 08:47 |
| CorbinFox | perhaps the most trouble you will have is choosing video card drivers from the list, but that shouldbt be a problem | 08:48 |
| Adantan_Alex | | | 08:48 |
| geirha | Adantan_Alex: yes, you just install xubuntu-desktop | 08:48 |
| mike_ | bidget: what machine are you installing on? | 08:48 |
| bidget | a desktop | 08:48 |
| Adantan_Alex | yes but i want to see if ubuntu will work | 08:48 |
| ryo | no i dont | 08:48 |
| Adantan_Alex | if it doesnt can i then install xubuntu? | 08:48 |
| bidget | mike_: its a home built computer its not a laptop or a dell or something if thats what you mean | 08:48 |
| arooni__ | when installing software from source where your distro has a package (but you need something fresher) ... is it generally good practice to use the option ./configure -prefix=/usr ? what happens if you dont use this option? | 08:48 |
| jaffarkelshac | ryo are you still not sure where you are? | 08:49 |
| SkinnYPupp | just add xubuntu-desktop and you choose which to lauch at login | 08:49 |
| geirha | Adantan_Alex: have you checked if the ubuntu CD boots? | 08:49 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: what is your video card brand? | 08:49 |
| bidget | evga | 08:49 |
| Adantan_Alex | the live CD wont boot properly because i got 256 megabytes of ram so i downloaded the alternate XD | 08:49 |
| geirha | arooni__: no, good practice is putting it in /usr/local or /opt/something so it doesn't interfere with the package system | 08:50 |
| ryo | yeah' srry i,m out! | 08:50 |
| bidget | its an evga geforce 8800gt | 08:50 |
| Adantan_Alex | bye | 08:50 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok | 08:50 |
| mike_ | bidget: ok... i had troubles on my laptop. | 08:50 |
| hp | tuna: can't find it, nvm | 08:50 |
| arooni__ | geirha, so putting in /usr is bad? | 08:50 |
| hp | tuna: i'll check it next time i have a crash | 08:50 |
| SkinnYPupp | Boot/install xubuntu then add gnome if you want regular ubuntu | 08:50 |
| Adantan_Alex | hi | 08:50 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok | 08:50 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: i think you should use the nvidia drivers first when it prompts you for it, and if that doenst work i think vesa drivers are the alternative. i may be wrong tho | 08:50 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok whos helping me? | 08:51 |
| bidget | but I mean dont just take my word that its the graphics card thats the problem... that was just my theory lol | 08:51 |
| SkinnYPupp | I was ... | 08:51 |
| bidget | yeah but how can I pick nvidia drivers if as soon as I tell it to install it crashes | 08:51 |
| Adantan_Alex | lol thanks | 08:51 |
| bidget | before I even get to any menus or anything | 08:51 |
| SkinnYPupp | lol wakeup | 08:51 |
| Adantan_Alex | so i downloaded ubuntu for nothing? lol | 08:51 |
| geirha | arooni__: yes, /usr/local is specifically for self-compiled stuff. /usr/local/bin is also set first in $PATH | 08:51 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: i am not saying that is, just saying that when that step comes up is all :P | 08:51 |
| mike_ | bidget: have a built in card? | 08:51 |
| SkinnYPupp | you don't need both iso's you can even add kde through synaptic | 08:51 |
| bidget | no its an evga geforce 8800gt | 08:51 |
| Adantan_Alex | !xubuntu | 08:52 |
| ubotu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 08:52 |
| SkinnYPupp | you choose session type at login once installed | 08:52 |
| arooni__ | geirha, so should i always use that option when compiling & installing software? what happens if i dont? | 08:52 |
| mike_ | do you have a builtin card on your mb | 08:52 |
| bidget | no | 08:52 |
| Adantan_Alex | OMG lol | 08:52 |
| geirha | Adantan_Alex: it's probably easier to install xubuntu, and then try to run gnome | 08:52 |
| ikonia | n | 08:52 |
| Adantan_Alex | yes.... i will download xubuntu | 08:52 |
| Adantan_Alex | does that have a live CD? | 08:52 |
| ikonia | oops | 08:53 |
| geirha | arooni__: then you mix your own files with the package system's files, making it a hell to clean up. It will probably work, but it's much cleaner to put it in /usr/local | 08:53 |
| SkinnYPupp | or logout and login backin with a different display manager i.e. xfce or kde or gnome and you can swap using ctl alt f7 f8 f9 with all 3 switchable like that | 08:53 |
| ikonia | geirha: very wise | 08:53 |
| geirha | Adantan_Alex: yes | 08:53 |
| arooni__ | geirha, is it the end of the world if i put it in /usr? | 08:54 |
| arooni__ | geirha, so most configure scripts have a -path option to set /usr/local ? | 08:54 |
| SkinnYPupp | Adantan_Alex:http://www.xubuntu.org/ | 08:54 |
| bidget | I think there is a conspiracy trying to keep me from installing linux | 08:54 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: bill gates is conspiring against you! | 08:55 |
| bidget | lol I think he just might be | 08:55 |
| jaffarkelshac | which of the two is better kde or gnome | 08:56 |
| bidget | I had vista the other day I just installed xp tonight cause I want to dualboot xp and ubuntu | 08:56 |
| kelvin911 | hi | 08:56 |
| geirha | arooni__: it's not the end of the world, I just recommend you not to do it ;) /usr/local/ is usually the default path, so simply running ./configure should be enough | 08:56 |
| geirha | arooni__: though always read the README file | 08:56 |
| bidget | and it was weird, I went to the ubuntu forums to look up some stuff, hard drive crashes lol | 08:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | DAMN | 08:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | soz for caps | 08:56 |
| kelvin911 | who read the README file? | 08:56 |
| mike_ | bidget: not your day | 08:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | !requirements | 08:56 |
| ubotu | Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu | 08:56 |
| CorbinFox | bidget: my new laptop will be coming with vista. i will try it out for a bit, but i am totally downgrading to XP | 08:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | oops | 08:56 |
| arooni__ | geirha, i already did the install :P ... i didnt even know it was important to run that path option ... oh so its usually default | 08:56 |
| sooooooooooooooo | so does anyone know of any load balancer software that automatically syncs the file system ? | 08:56 |
| arooni__ | thtats ogod | 08:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | !dual boot | 08:56 |
| ubotu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 08:56 |
| Adantan_Alex | there | 08:56 |
| bidget | I used vista for.... I dunno like 6 months I guess | 08:57 |
| kelvin911 | CorbinFox: dont down grade to XP | 08:57 |
| kelvin911 | CorbinFox: just install ubuntu | 08:57 |
| bidget | had no problems really until the other night when my computer randomly restarted and deleted my user profile | 08:57 |
| bidget | then corrupted the boot partition | 08:57 |
| Adantan_Alex | dude have windows XP and ubuntu | 08:57 |
| bidget | hence installing windows xp lol | 08:57 |
| SkinnYPupp | Oh forget dual boot, just get some ram and run winders in vmwareserver | 08:57 |
| CorbinFox | heh, i agree man, but i alreayd have the liscence. might as well use it | 08:57 |
| Ademan | has anyone noticed launching evolution seems to crash gnome-panel ? | 08:58 |
| bidget | yeah but the reason I am dualbooting is so I can play a few games and I heard that vmware is quite a performance hit | 08:58 |
| CorbinFox | also i use it as a sort of storage partition. right now i have XP dual boot, and all my files are there. | 08:58 |
| CorbinFox | if ubuntu were to die due to my fiddling with it | 08:58 |
| CorbinFox | my files are easily recovered wtihout effort | 08:58 |
| SkinnYPupp | bidget: in that case yes | 08:58 |
| bidget | yeah thats really my only reason | 08:58 |
| bidget | although I am going to try out wine | 08:58 |
| bidget | and see if I can play cs source and starcraft and stuff | 08:58 |
| bidget | I did some reading and Ive heard that they are quite playable with wine | 08:59 |
| CorbinFox | i guess im lucky...the only game i play on my computer is UT 2004 and that works great under linux | 08:59 |
| bidget | ah yeah | 08:59 |
| geirha | bidget: starcraft works well with wine at least :) | 08:59 |
| bidget | yeah | 08:59 |
| SkinnYPupp | I haven't played with wine in a long time | 08:59 |
| bidget | well I know starcraft does and I was looking at wine and they say that cs source will work, but I dunno how well | 08:59 |
| bidget | if it doesnt work that well... well, I have xp to play it on anyway | 08:59 |
| Riot777 | xp is overrated | 09:00 |
| bidget | although I dont want to be dependant on windows so Im trying to switch lol | 09:00 |
| Riot777 | good choice ! | 09:00 |
| greg | rebonjour a tousj'ai toujours un probleme de resolution d'ecran et mon terminal ne veux pas fonctionner, il s'ouvre mais je ne peux rien ecrire | 09:00 |
| CorbinFox | i dont care what operating system i am using if the game is full screen | 09:00 |
| bidget | yeah | 09:00 |
| CorbinFox | as long as it runs | 09:00 |
| kelvin911 | bidget: play et | 09:00 |
| kelvin911 | bidget: cs sucks | 09:00 |
| bidget | I hated enemy territory | 09:00 |
| Frogzoo | !fr | greg | 09:01 |
| ubotu | greg: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 09:01 |
| Riot777 | play urban terror if you like cs mood | 09:01 |
| bidget | although I actually prefer day of defeat over cs now anyway I was just using that as an example | 09:01 |
| Riot777 | it's also free | 09:01 |
| Riot777 | as et | 09:01 |
| bidget | yeah but | 09:01 |
| bidget | I already own a steam account | 09:01 |
| bidget | so thats kind of irrelevant lol | 09:01 |
| kelvin911 | bidget: why hate et? | 09:01 |
| bidget | I dunno I just didnt like it | 09:01 |
| bidget | I guess I dont hate it | 09:01 |
| bidget | I just didnt like it | 09:01 |
| jaffarkelshac | is anyone playing source or battlefield with wine | 09:01 |
| Riot777 | yeah I know, I like to play cs from time to time too and it works great on wine | 09:01 |
| Riot777 | not counting "windows anticheats programs" ofc | 09:01 |
| kelvin911 | bidget: et is way more fun than cs | 09:01 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: I think source games are pretty well supported on wine | 09:02 |
| bidget | thats an opinion lol | 09:02 |
| code_kill | why is it, on the live cd, i had sound. now with full install, can't get sound to work? | 09:02 |
| jaffarkelshac | Slart, i mean source the game | 09:02 |
| kelvin911 | i think i will try out urban terror later | 09:02 |
| kelvin911 | is it in the synaptic? | 09:02 |
| Riot777 | nope | 09:02 |
| Riot777 | it's on site | 09:02 |
| jaffarkelshac | is there any games for ubuntu apart from the ones that is installed with it. | 09:02 |
| kelvin911 | oh | 09:02 |
| Riot777 | urbanterror.net | 09:03 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: you're not talking about the half-life engine? | 09:03 |
| Riot777 | it has linux installer | 09:03 |

| bidget | hmm? | 09:03 |
| code_kill | make a website for ubuntu, with every driver possible for it. | 09:03 |
| jaffarkelshac | is there a game like that that is soley made for linux without using wine | 09:03 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: that's what I thought..... it's still pretty well supported on wine | 09:04 |
| bidget | ah that would be nice haha | 09:04 |
| bagus | hi | 09:04 |
| code_kill | then seperate it by product, branch out | 09:04 |
| jaffarkelshac | Slart, good | 09:04 |
| bidget | jeff, a game like what? | 09:04 |
| code_kill | dumb it down even. no searching net, only site | 09:04 |
| Riot777 | linux-gamers.net happypenguin.org linuxgames.com ? | 09:04 |
| bagus | huh | 09:04 |
| Riot777 | about the games sites :d | 09:04 |
| sooooooooooooooo | so does anyone know of any load balancer software that automatically syncs the file system ? | 09:05 |
| code_kill | bidget, you talking to me..."tht would be nice?" | 09:05 |
| bidget | yeah haha | 09:05 |
| jaffarkelshac | jaffarkelshac, like battlefield 2, freelancer, any games thats not like chess and checkers that i can play on ubuntu | 09:05 |
| code_kill | let's do it! | 09:05 |
| Riot777 | there's also big linux games list at @ icculus.org but I think not updated for a while | 09:05 |
| Riot777 | native games ofc | 09:05 |
| bidget | well I dunno about games like that but I play eve online and it works for windows osx and linux | 09:05 |
| code_kill | we help each other search for them, then build it.... | 09:05 |
| kelvin911 | jaffarkelshac: et is made for linux | 09:05 |
| * CorbinFox thinks the only linux game needed is UT2004 :P | 09:05 | |
| CVD-PR | can someone share the firefox beta5 linux, i think the servers are down | 09:05 |
| code_kill | "if we build it, geeks will come"! | 09:05 |
| bidget | true | 09:05 |
| bidget | lol | 09:05 |
| jaffarkelshac | kelvin911, a game called et, never heard of it | 09:06 |
| jaffarkelshac | kelvin911, will check it out | 09:06 |

| code_kill | crap! i just want sound to work:( | 09:06 |
| kelvin911 | jaffarkelshac: wolf et not et quake war | 09:06 |

| bidget | yeah only wolfenstein et | 09:07 |
| kelvin911 | jaffarkelshac: et is not in respository i think | 09:07 |
| bidget | I think you probably have to download it from their homepage | 09:07 |
| jaffarkelshac | any other games like et | 09:08 |
| kelvin911 | there is a .run file for et i think | 09:08 |
| kelvin911 | it's in their site | 09:08 |
| Riot777 | well not everything is in repositories you just must live with it | 09:08 |
| kelvin911 | jaffarkelshac: i like et | 09:08 |

| knightWse | hey guyz , i've just configured some virtual IP adresses on my Ubuntu box , but how can I set them to activate at boot ? | 09:15 |
| Riot777 | vmware server haven't got any good option except "samba sharing" for sharing files between os and virtual os | 09:15 |
| sooooooooooooooo | so does anyone know of any load balancer software that automatically syncs the file system ? | 09:16 |
| knightWse | Riot777, you can install the vmware tools if you want to | 09:16 |
| Riot777 | I would recommend you really good, fast, virtualisation software called VirtualBox it has such option without installing stuff DOOM_NX | 09:16 |
| Riot777 | www.virtualbox.org | 09:16 |
| Riot777 | it's faster than vmware and qemu | 09:16 |
| Riot777 | even | 09:16 |
| Riot777 | rocket I would say :d | 09:17 |
| DOOM_NX | Riot777, yes | 09:17 |
| DOOM_NX | i used to use that | 09:17 |
| DOOM_NX | but | 09:17 |
| putergirl | . | 09:17 |
| DOOM_NX | i can't forward ports to virtual machine's applications | 09:18 |
| DOOM_NX | in vmware i can use bridged network | 09:18 |
| DOOM_NX | plus it says: Choose VM > Settings > Options > Shared Folders | 09:18 |
| DOOM_NX | no shared folders anyway | 09:18 |
| DOOM_NX | anywhere* | 09:18 |
| guillermo | whats the difference between vmware player and server? | 09:18 |
| Riot777 | well you could try virtualbox again if it was some period ago cause it's often updated (new releases every now and then) | 09:19 |
| DOOM_NX | it's the last version | 09:19 |
| Riot777 | ah :d | 09:19 |
| yuri_ | my sound randomly gave out... how do i restart the sound server without restarting the laptop? | 09:19 |

| knightWse | found it :) need to put the name of the device behind "auto" | 09:33 |

| happy_tux | how do you mean 20 gb to xubuntu? | 09:41 |
| happy_tux | that will be more than enough | 09:41 |
| Adantan_Alex | 20 gigabytes space for ubuntu and 60 gigabytes for the rest of the drive | 09:41 |
| bengb | How can I make a directory writable by everyone but not readable? | 09:41 |
| happy_tux | quite enough | 09:41 |
| Adantan_Alex | im dual booting windows and ubuntu | 09:41 |
| bengb | yes 20GB is enough | 09:41 |
| bengb | I have an eee with 4GB for xubuntu | 09:42 |

| cew | haii | 09:42 |
| Adantan_Alex | there | 09:42 |
| Adantan_Alex | hi | 09:42 |
| cew | haiii | 09:42 |
| happy_tux | Why dual boot, by the way ..... ever worked with VirtualBox ? | 09:42 |
| bengb | I need to create folders for users, I want everyone to be able to write to the folders. I don't want everyone to be able to write/delete or list files in the folders though. | 09:42 |
| bengb | I just want the folders owner to be able to read/delete | 09:43 |
| bengb | I hoped that wrxwrx-w- | 09:44 |
| bengb | would work, but it doesn't | 09:44 |
| cew | haii | 09:44 |
| cew | haii | 09:44 |
| cew | haii | 09:44 |
| cew | haii | 09:45 |
| happy_tux | Since I discovered VirtualBox, I don't need dedicated windows machines anymore. Even got my wife using Linux now! | 09:45 |
| cew | haiii | 09:45 |
| cew | haii | 09:45 |
| dgjones | cew, please don't do that in the channel | 09:45 |
| cew | haiui | 09:45 |
| bengb | I guess it's one of those things you can't do in linux | 09:45 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok burning | 09:45 |
| cew | haii | 09:45 |
| happy_tux | bengb, what is it that you want again? | 09:46 |
| happy_tux | share folders with what kind of users? | 09:46 |
| happy_tux | windows users? | 09:46 |
| bengb | I want to make a directory for each user on my network. I want them to be able to rwx, and everyone else to just be able to write to the folder | 09:47 |
| bengb | so that people can drop files into their folder | 09:47 |
| bengb | but can't view what's in the folder | 09:47 |
| bengb | using samba | 09:47 |
| jesse__ | does anybody know of a packaged command-line base64 encoder/decoder? | 09:47 |
| happy_tux | ah, right, and not able to delete? | 09:47 |
| bengb | yes | 09:47 |
| compwiz18 | bengb: theoretically, you can make the folders contents writable, but not reaable | 09:47 |
| happy_tux | like ntfs | 09:47 |
| bengb | it doesn't work | 09:47 |
| bengb | tried it | 09:47 |
| bengb | rwxrwx-w- | 09:47 |
| bengb | rwxrwxrw- | 09:48 |
| bengb | both don't work | 09:48 |
| bengb | I can't write to the folder | 09:48 |
| happy_tux | nope, doesn't work | 09:48 |
| happy_tux | I had the same problem | 09:48 |
| bengb | no solution:? | 09:48 |
| happy_tux | never found anything to resolve that | 09:48 |
| happy_tux | nope | 09:48 |
| bengb | it's really easy on a windows server | 09:48 |
| happy_tux | yep, with ntfs | 09:49 |
| bengb | indeed | 09:49 |
| jesse__ | does anybody know of a package that will let me do base-64 encoding/decoding? | 09:49 |
| happy_tux | ext3 doesn't have those 'special' things | 09:49 |
| happy_tux | there might be a different format though, which can do the trick | 09:50 |
| happy_tux | let me see ..... | 09:50 |
| compwiz18 | i'm pretty sure it can be done | 09:50 |
| jaffarkelshac | kelvin911, i installed open arena, but there is no icon any where, i had to make a launcher for it. | 09:50 |
| compwiz18 | somehow | 09:50 |
| redheat | hi everyone | 09:50 |
| gholen | So, can anyone tell me if there is any advatage at all, installing the 64 bits ubuntu version? | 09:50 |
| === [1]dahlia is now known as dahlia | ||
| bengb | i tried converting a win2k server to ubuntu 7.1 server today | 09:50 |
| bengb | I had to go back to win2k because of this problem | 09:51 |
| bengb | lucky it was a raid 1 config | 09:51 |
| bengb | so I just used the mirror to go back to win2k | 09:51 |
| redheat | folks, if I wanted to download KDE4 but not using a command line, from which program can I do that? synaptic manager or add/remove program? | 09:51 |
| compwiz18 | happy_tux: bengb: you probably will have to make the directory not executable | 09:52 |
| compwiz18 | and set the sticky bit on it | 09:52 |
| gholen | redheat: Go to KDE website, download it fråm there? | 09:52 |
| === Pooky is now known as pooky | ||
| redheat | gholen, you mean I can't download it from ubuntu directry, I mean from within the ubuntu system, and of course thanks for replying | 09:53 |
| abdoreza | hi all | 09:53 |
| redheat | hi | 09:53 |
| * alan_m kisses hardy and waves bye to everyone, going to #ubuntu+1 now :) | 09:53 | |
| erUSUL | !kde4 | redheat | 09:53 |
| ubotu | redheat: KDE 4.0.2 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.2.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 09:53 |
| gholen | redheat: I dont know if you can du it from synaptic or that awful program adept, but i'm not sure | 09:54 |
| happy_tux | but the sticky bit still lets owners delete their own files | 09:54 |
| _ruben | 4.0.3 is latest .. came out yesterday ;) | 09:54 |
| redheat | thank you my friend | 09:54 |
| bengb | compwiz18: if the directory is not executable then you can't create files | 09:54 |
| happy_tux | bengb: yes you can. as long as its writable | 09:55 |
| === porcoROMA_ is now known as voglioso | ||
| compwiz18 | I'd have to agree when bengb | 09:55 |
| happy_tux | how than? | 09:56 |
| DEADMAN | Hello | 09:56 |
| cpk1 | how do you generate a .xsession file? | 09:56 |
| compwiz18 | well | 09:56 |
| DEADMAN | Hello | 09:56 |
| compwiz18 | drwxrwx-wx <-- makes it so you can write files in the directory and read them if you know their name | 09:57 |
| compwiz18 | but you can't get a directory listing | 09:57 |
| happy_tux | ahhh... right, agree | 09:57 |
| gholen | i repet my question, is there any advatage at al, using 64 bits support instead of 32 bits? | 09:57 |
| Frogzoo_ | gholen: nope | 09:57 |
| geektasticgirl | Hi. For some reason my Login screen (GDM), the text is like HUGE... name/password field etc.. any way to correct this? | 09:57 |
| bengb | that doesn't work with samba | 09:57 |
| gholen | Frogzoo_: sure? | 09:58 |
| bengb | it might work on the command line, but it doesn't translate to samba | 09:58 |
| geektasticgirl | I am using 7.10 | 09:58 |
| DistroJockey | gholen: no real advantage if you have less than 3GB of RAM | 09:59 |
| erUSUL | gholen: if you have a lot of RAM ( > 3.3 GiB) or if you use numeric intensive workloads i suppose | 09:59 |
| compwiz18 | bengb: what group/user are the folders? | 09:59 |
| compwiz18 | geektasticgirl: sounds like the resolution is too small | 09:59 |
| compwiz18 | as for fixing it... | 09:59 |
| fraroco | hello everybody. | 09:59 |
| compwiz18 | I don't know | 09:59 |
| geektasticgirl | compwiz18 I am running at 1920x1080 fine after I log in | 09:59 |
| bengb | the user is the owner | 10:00 |
| bengb | and so is the group | 10:00 |
| compwiz18 | geektasticgirl: yeah - I saw some people running hardy having the same problem | 10:00 |
| bengb | so bengb:bengb:other | 10:00 |
| geektasticgirl | the screen seems right size , (login screen) but the text is just too huge for the fields, parts of the font get chopped off | 10:00 |
| erUSUL | gholen: i'm using 64 bit right know and i do not see any big drawback but people has problems with flash stability and such. also you loose the java firefox plugin | 10:00 |
| Silicium | hi there | 10:00 |

| fraroco | how to rip a cd with juicer with a mp3 quality? | 10:00 |
| bengb | can't create files/folders | 10:00 |
| bengb | perhaps samba tries to get a folder listing before it creates the file | 10:01 |
| Silicium | iam searching for the isolinux patches for ubuntu installer, or for a solution to change the font color on the Ubunu Installer Menu (isolinux bootmenu) | 10:01 |

| erUSUL | compwiz18: yesterday i transfer some files peaks of 8 MB (theorical max is 12 MB) | 10:06 |

| compwiz18 | I wonder if I have a funky ethernet cable somewhere | 10:07 |
| geektasticgirl | erUSUL what am i looking for | 10:07 |
| compwiz18 | Slart: I dunno, I only run ssh on these computers | 10:07 |
| erUSUL | compwiz18: scp adds crypto/compression overhead.... | 10:07 |
| code_kill | my wife just went to computer room, upstairs. She noticed the vnc server was activated. Someone just exploited it on my win machine, and tried to run a .dll as she watched then got off. i logged it though. i will get them back. but isn't that hillarious? catching them in the act? You think they would be smart enough to do it in a capture mode where i can't see you. lol | 10:07 |
| geektasticgirl | erUSUL: dont' see anythign for font size | 10:07 |
| xeer | Hey everyone.. I have a sshfs and nautilus messing up the groups/owners making it read only. how can i fix this? | 10:07 |
| compwiz18 | but I'm pretty sure I got higher speeds previously | 10:07 |
| compwiz18 | I'll try it using netcat in a minute and see if that's faster | 10:08 |
| Slart | geektasticgirl: at least there is a "allow user to change font etc" check box.. I've never really played around at the login prompt.. perhaps there is something there | 10:08 |
| erUSUL | geektasticgirl: :| then check the Mode lines on xorg.conf as i said gdm uses the first resolution of the line | 10:08 |
| Slart | compwiz18: or just ping with a big packet size | 10:08 |
| compwiz18 | Slart: it doesn't tell me the transfer rate though | 10:09 |
| geektasticgirl | erUSUL: Option "metamodes" "1920x1080_60 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0" | 10:09 |

| Slart | compwiz18: oh... you can use the system monitor for that.. or any number of small network applets | 10:09 |
| Slart | compwiz18: there is even a text mode thing called nload | 10:10 |
| Lamego | compbrain, ftp will report the transfer rate | 10:10 |

| bengb | if the directory is drwxrwx-wx | 10:12 |

| ikonia | bengb: depends on the owner | 10:13 |
| bengb | if I am not a member of the group or the owner | 10:13 |
| bengb | using samba | 10:13 |
| compwiz18 | bengb: is that what you want? | 10:13 |
| bengb | well | 10:13 |
| ikonia | bengb: then you can't read it | 10:13 |
| compwiz18 | are you sure it isn't a samba option? allow other users to see files or something? | 10:13 |
| bengb | I should be able to enter the folder right? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | bengb: no | 10:13 |
| bengb | but it is x | 10:13 |
| Lamego | bengb, no, since there is no +r set to others | 10:13 |

| Lamego | bengb, you need rx | 10:14 |
| ikonia | bengb: execute is not read | 10:14 |
| bengb | but I want to be able to write to the folder | 10:14 |
| bengb | but not read | 10:14 |
| ikonia | bengb: then set +w | 10:14 |
| bengb | I did wx | 10:14 |
| bengb | but it doesn't work under samba | 10:14 |
| bengb | I can't enter the directory | 10:14 |
| compwiz18 | h | 10:14 |
| compwiz18 | hm | 10:14 |

| compwiz18 | bengb: # Files that have their Linux permissions set to prevent access shouldn't even appear | 10:14 |
| compwiz18 | hide unreadable = yes | 10:14 |

| compwiz18 | # Hide the following files; the client can still choose to alter their view settings to show hidden files. | 10:15 |

| compwiz18 | veto files = /*.exe/*.dll/*.com/*.vbs/*.{*}/ | 10:15 |
| compwiz18 | using veto files will deny access to the files, apparently | 10:15 |

| abhi_ | ikonia: i know caps aren't allowed but i am trying to highlight a potential problem with Adobe Air for Linux. | 10:17 |
| ikonia | abhi_: no - your shouting your personal unfounded opinions | 10:18 |
| elius | DistroJockey: thanks | 10:18 |
| Slart | abhi_: wrong place, wrong method | 10:18 |
| ikonia | abhi_: this is a support channel for ubuntu, not air your personal views | 10:18 |
| DistroJockey | elius: you're welcome | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | bengb: you could do something tricky with mount -o bind and stuff | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | but it might be complicated.... | 10:18 |
| bengb | I think this is a samba problem, rather than a ext3 problem | 10:18 |
| bengb | or I could just use windows ;) | 10:18 |
| abhi_ | ikonia: i think u guys should warn ppl before they install Adobe Air on Ubuntu. this is a seriously annoying problem i'm facing :( | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | bengb: you can do that too :) | 10:18 |
| compwiz18 | whatever works best | 10:19 |
| ikonia | abhi_: that YOUR facing, not a problem with adobe air | 10:19 |
| ikonia | abhi_: it is not ubunti's place to tell people what 3rd party products to install/not install | 10:19 |
| bengb | well I don't want to use windows, but I feel like I have no choice right now | 10:19 |
| Slart | abhi_: is Adobe Air available from the repos? | 10:19 |
| abhi_ | ikonia: i know one more person who is facing this problem. i can replicate this problem on other machines | 10:19 |
| damo22 | bengb: what is your problem? | 10:19 |
| abhi_ | Slart: no it's available direct from adobe | 10:19 |
| compwiz18 | abhi_: then there isn't anything we can do abou tit | 10:20 |
| ikonia | abhi_ then contact adobce and log a bug | 10:20 |
| compwiz18 | about it*** | 10:20 |
| ikonia | abhi_: this is nothing to do with ubuntu. | 10:20 |
| Slart | abhi_: then tell adobe about it.. they are the ones who can do something about it | 10:20 |

| happy_tux | bengb, what about a seperate ntfs partition? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | abhi_: #ubuntu does not need to know that | 10:20 |
| bengb | would that work? | 10:20 |
| happy_tux | you could acces that with linux and windows | 10:21 |
| happy_tux | I think it will | 10:21 |
| damo22 | is ntfs writable now in ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| bengb | this is for a server though | 10:21 |
| Lamego | damo22, yes | 10:21 |
| ikonia | abhi_: in YOUR opinion there is a serious problem, that doesn't warrent ocming in here and shouting to the channel your unfounded comments | 10:21 |
| happy_tux | ntfs is writable, yes | 10:21 |
| DistroJockey | bengb: maybe this will help? : http://www.visi.com/SubNavContent.aspx?id=1873#chmod | 10:21 |
| Madpilot | abhi_, there isn't a lot Ubuntu can do about AIR. It's a third party closed-source project... | 10:21 |
| bengb | it's a headless always on server | 10:21 |
| compwiz18 | ikonia: I don't know how you have it set up, but you could have like "drop folders" and "pickup folders", drop folders being the ones no one can see, and pickup folders being the ones only the owners can log into | 10:21 |
| compwiz18 | and with some creative mount --bind usage, you might be able to pull it off | 10:22 |
| damo22 | because i remember a few months ago it used to damage ntfs partitions if you try to write to it... do you need something special like ntfs-3g? | 10:22 |
| LGKeiz | How do you ..upgrade to the beta version of Ubuntu ? through terminal. | 10:22 |
| abhi_ | ikonia: dude i shouted quite sometime back. it's over why u stuck on that still? the least u can do is tell other ppl who face a similar problem | 10:22 |
| ikonia | compwiz18 I'm just trying to found out the rules of having write but not read access to the dir | 10:22 |
| Lamego | damo22, yes, it uses ntfs-3g | 10:22 |
| ikonia | abhi_: I'm informing you that that behaviour is unacceptable, for future reference, I'll drop it as soon as you accept it | 10:22 |
| Lamego | abhi_, sure, just tell it somewhere else :) | 10:22 |
| LGKeiz | How do you ..upgrade to the beta version of Ubuntu ? through terminal. | 10:23 |
| damo22 | lamego: so when you do sudo mount -t ntfs ... it actually uses ntfs-3g? | 10:23 |
| Borys | How to set gateway with ifconfig?? | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | !hardy | LGKeiz | 10:23 |

| ikonia | Borys: ifconfig uses the "gw" argument for gateway | 10:23 |
| Borys | thanks | 10:23 |
| Lamego | damo22, not sure you use -t ntfs or ntfs-3g | 10:23 |
| s_ | does anyone knows how to fix athgina.dll file | 10:23 |
| compwiz18 | abhi_: how do you expect us to tell people? they don't come in here and ask if installing adobe air is a good idea first... | 10:23 |
| Lamego | Borin, man ifconfig | 10:23 |
| Madpilot | abhi_, issues with air wouldn't surprise me at all. it's brand-new, just in public beta, and closed-source... | 10:23 |

| damo22 | does anyone know, I want to mount a ntfs partition to be writable, do i use mount -t ntfs or ntfs-3g? | 10:24 |
| compwiz18 | damo22: just leave the -t out | 10:24 |
| Lamego | abhi_, general kwowledge, if you try a beta produtct, expect problems | 10:24 |
| Slart | s_: this is the #ubuntu support channel.. we can't help you with windows problems | 10:24 |
| compwiz18 | damo22: it should automatically detect it | 10:25 |
| compwiz18 | s_: try ##windows | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Borys: set the netmask too | 10:25 |
| damo22 | ok thanks | 10:25 |
| s_ | thx | 10:25 |
| abhi_ | Lamego: never something like this where it hijacks other extensions | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Borys: you'll get that error then the gateway is unreachable | 10:25 |
| compwiz18 | Borys: sudo ifconfig IPADDY netmask NETMASK <--- where IPADDY and NETMASK are replace with the actually ips | 10:25 |
| compwiz18 | sudo rotue add default gw GATEWAYIP | 10:25 |
| ikonia | abhi_: can you please stop going on about it, this is nothing to do with ubuntu and of no interest to ubuntu at this moment in time | 10:25 |
| Lamego | abhi_, sure, there is some beta software even worse, which can cause data loss, extensions can be fixed :) | 10:26 |
| blinkiz | I have enabled "Remote Desktop" in the GUI found on ubuntu 7.10. Problem is that I can't connect to it. The service crash directly. What todo= | 10:26 |

| abhi_ | Lamego: thx. but there's a bigger problem? u can't disassociate Adobe AIR from that extension. got a way to do that? :( | 10:29 |
| compwiz18 | abhi_: right click the file, hit properties | 10:29 |
| compwiz18 | abhi_: the open with tab does it for you | 10:30 |
| abhi_ | compiwiz18: yes but i don't want to go with open with i'd rather double clik than navigate thru a menu | 10:30 |
| compwiz18 | abhi_: the open with tab allows you to set the default ;) | 10:30 |

| cristi1990 | waylandbill:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61997/ | 10:35 |
| ikonia | zero: ubuntu studio is now in the main ubuntu repo's I believe. | 10:35 |
| abhi_ | waylandbill: ok but how? would u know any conf file through which i can do it? because the GUI isn't helping here :( | 10:35 |
| Lamego | zero, have you tried to search for it on repositories ? I believe there is an ubuntu-studio metapackage, not sure if it is only for hardy | 10:36 |
| zero | ikonia, so how do i install it? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | zero: search for ubuntu studio in synaptics, there should be a meta package | 10:36 |
| ikonia | zero: I'm not %100 that is't now in the repo's but I believe it is | 10:36 |
| zero | i did aptitude install ubuntu studio an dNOTHING h appened | 10:36 |
| ikonia | zero: you've done install | 10:36 |
| ikonia | zero: why have you not searched for the package | 10:36 |
| Lamego | zero, search for it first | 10:36 |
| ikonia | zero: it may not be called "ubuntu studio" | 10:37 |
| ikonia | zero: could be ubstudio | 10:37 |
| ikonia | zero: for example. | 10:37 |
| zero | so search in synaptics and then install it, then select it in sessions before login? | 10:37 |
| DistroJockey | abhi_: try right-clicking the file and choose "Open with Other Apllication..." then choose what you want. That should set the default I think. | 10:37 |
| ikonia | zero: no, you won't have it in "session" is't just an application sweet, kernel patch and desktop theme, it will replace your current theme and be available through your current install | 10:38 |

| bidget | :D | 10:57 |
| DistroJockey | :) | 10:57 |
| waylandbill | cristi1990: that's a separate issue. anyway without update-grub, the kernel package won't be able to configure. | 10:57 |
| bidget | thats what I was missing | 10:57 |
| bidget | haha ok back to installing thanks a lot | 10:57 |
| DistroJockey | you're welcome :) | 10:57 |
| bidget | maybe next time we talk I will be in linux! :D | 10:58 |
| DistroJockey | bidget: best of luck :) | 10:58 |
| cristi1990 | waylandbill: tried to configure it this morning, but still no. So i thought i'd better finish making the desktop apearence visual efects work, but after i enable the driver it still doesn't work, so i thought i'd use the restricted drivers manager... | 10:58 |

| Heka | i think it's not working properly and i'm running ubuntu and xp | 10:59 |
| DistroJockey | heka: can you get into Ubuntu? | 10:59 |
| waylandbill | cristi1990: yeah. you want restricted drivers for nvidia and desktop effects. You were right there. It's troubling that update-grub is missing though. It's installed by default. | 11:00 |
| Heka | yoe but it took like 30mins | 11:00 |

| gilead | for some reason when I try to reinstall/update/remove/anything deskbar-applet package my system hangs hard. Since it's in half-installed state right now each time I try to update the system or install new package it gets processed and, if I don't press Ctrl+C on time, the system hangs. That sucks :) How can I remove this package from the apt list of installed packages completely? Holding it didn't help. | 11:10 |
| Garren | it says, /dev/hda1 , /dev/hda2 , /dev/hda3 , /dev/hda4 , /dev/hda5 what does that mean ? | 11:10 |

| Slart | woodwizzle: for games, use wine.. if you're not really interested in speed.. use virtualization | 11:21 |
| Lamego | woodwizzle, it depends, some apps do no run with wine, on the other hand, you dont have 3d with virtualization, it will not run 3d games | 11:21 |

| LollinopiL | can I install Office2003 with ubuntu ? | 11:29 |
| waylandbill | joep: System, Administration, Printing, make sure 'Share Published Printers' is checked. In the cupsd.conf, you want to make sure to add a line for listening on desired address. Then other cups based systems can use IPP to print. For windows clients, you'll need to share via Samba. | 11:30 |
| bidget | can anyone tell me why I have no grub loader? | 11:30 |
| kelvin911 | why MSoffice in ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| DistroJockey | joep: no problem. Good luck | 11:30 |
| Lamego | LollinopiL, check on the wine apps list, or at the wine channel | 11:31 |
| bidget | I finished the installation and it just booted me right back into windows xp, there was no menu to choose... | 11:31 |
| bidget | I looked at the wine apps | 11:31 |
| bidget | apparently your best bet for msoffice is office 2000 | 11:31 |
| LollinopiL | kelvin because i must create a DOC document 4 my university, the convertion from OOffice doesn't work | 11:31 |
| bidget | 2003 is still buggy | 11:31 |

| DistroJockey | bidget: did you get asked whether you wanted grub installed in a partition or the hdd? | 11:32 |
| kelvin911 | make sure it's office 2000 or office xp doc | 11:32 |
| bidget | I get to the end of the installation and it said "we've detected windows xp, do you want to install grub" | 11:32 |
| bidget | and I said yes | 11:32 |
| Skitt | crappy university ... | 11:32 |
| bidget | I said the hdd | 11:32 |

| kelvin911 | the reason i think the university using unix is u can link up more than one computer to do calculation for some math stuffs | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | damo22: no need for sudo, dude | 11:44 |
| joep | However, neither is seen and so I have no sound (I use my system a.o. for sound recording with Ardour!). | 11:44 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | i hate ubuntu about sudo su too...! | 11:44 |
| kelvin911 | thats why maybe | 11:44 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | knoppix do not needs sudo su | 11:44 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | and windows do not need it | 11:44 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | grah anyway | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ]Mster_Of_Chaos: thats cos you run it all as root. All live CDs do | 11:44 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | knoppix needs instead just su. | 11:44 |
| Johnny_5 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61999/ | 11:44 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | ni | 11:44 |
| Johnny_5 | take a look @ this please | 11:45 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | not all cds do not needs it | 11:45 |
| Johnny_5 | i think i screwed something up somewhere down the line... | 11:45 |
| waylandbill | kelvin911: most webservers run *nix. It makes more sense to teach systems that admins would actually be using in the field. | 11:45 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | knoppix neesds just su | 11:45 |
| ]Mster_Of_Chaos | for getting root access | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ]Mster_Of_Chaos: its usual | 11:45 |

| ubotu | l0tU5: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 11:46 |
| sergiu87 | DistroJockey ,yes | 11:46 |

| waylandbill | Johnny_5: you trying to access another user's files? | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Frederick: a little, just use it and you'll learn faster too | 11:47 |
| Johnny_5 | no i'm tryin' to move files into their folder | 11:47 |
| DistroJockey | sergiu87: hmm, no idea. What are you trying to cancel? | 11:47 |
| Frederick | ActionParsnip: thanks | 11:47 |
| l0tU5 | Sorry... my bad | 11:47 |
| waylandbill | Frederick: I recommend http://linuxbasics.org as well | 11:48 |
| Johnny_5 | i accidentally made them own the dir in my /home/nix0r dir | 11:48 |

| Slart | ideal: did the ./configure part print out any errors? | 11:48 |
| ideal | no | 11:48 |
| DistroJockey | sergiu87: sorry, no idea | 11:49 |
| Slart | ideal: then I guess you need to talk to whoever wrote the software you're trying to compile | 11:49 |
| waylandbill | Johnny_5: if you want to access their folder without being root, you need to give write permission to group or others. You need to do that as the other user or root. | 11:49 |
| ideal | but after installing several packages,I found it happened every time. | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Johnny_5: check out chmod or chown :) | 11:50 |
| Johnny_5 | k | 11:50 |
| stevecam | hello | 11:50 |
| Slart | ideal: if I understand things correctly ./configure sets up the make files so make works.. you'll get the same error if you don't run ./configure.. or if ./configure finds something wrong and exits with an error | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | stevecam | 11:50 |
| ubotu | stevecam: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 11:50 |
| joep | I have used the indicated file and the soundcard is seen:02:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) | 11:50 |
| joep | 02:08.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 0a) | 11:50 |
| Slart | ideal: well.. pastebin the output from ./configure and make and we'll see if you missed something | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | joep: ok so its installed but youget no sound | 11:51 |
| waylandbill | ideal: if you do alot of source based installations, you may be interested in 'checkinstall' | 11:51 |
| l0tU5 | I need to clone this machine on 7 other machines... It needs to be exactly the same with games and all... All personal data... | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | joep: if you run amarok and play a track does the eq move? | 11:51 |
| ideal | I did not so much | 11:51 |
| iositd | l0tU5, are the 7 machines exactly the same? (concerning HDD the most) | 11:52 |
| terminhell | Im using xfce right now, and im wondering if there is a way to make its panels "always on bottom" | 11:52 |
| l0tU5 | They must become exactly the same... | 11:52 |
| joep | From which directory ?? I installed Ububtu fro DVD so I have nothing configured. | 11:52 |
| l0tU5 | oh... yes... all hardware is the same... | 11:52 |
| iositd | l0tU5, it's about the size mostly. If they are the same, you can use dd to copy and paste the exact content. | 11:52 |
| === SeTam is now known as HaNDa^ | ||
| Johnny_5 | ActionParsnip: what do i do about the fact that it says brian owns all those folders in my /home/nix0r dir? | 11:53 |
| waylandbill | l0tU5: dd the partitions from one hard drive to the next. You could use GPartEd as well preferably from a LiveCD so the partitions aren't mounted. | 11:53 |
| l0tU5 | the machines are built the same... | 11:53 |
| Survivorman | terminhell, why don't you join #xubuntu | 11:53 |
| terminhell | Survivorman: cuz i didnt think of it :p | 11:53 |
| l0tU5 | whats dd? | 11:53 |
| ideal | in the last line of the output of ./configure,I was given the following : configure: error: "Cannot find glib" | 11:53 |
| DistroJockey | joep: maybe try alsamixer in a terminal to see what is there. You can type ? while in there for help. | 11:54 |
| Slart | ideal: looks like an error to me.. | 11:54 |
| iositd | l0tU5, use a liveCD to boot the machine you want to copy, and then use DD if=/your/root/partition of=/your/external/drive/file which will write a file to your drive. Then you can boot the other machine and do the exact opposite. | 11:54 |
| waylandbill | l0tU5: dd copies files. | 11:54 |
| ideal | This is some more information: | 11:54 |
| ideal | *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... | 11:54 |
| ideal | *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the | 11:54 |
| ideal | *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. | 11:54 |

| DragonLarma | hello! | 11:54 |
| Slart | ideal: don't paste in here.. use a !pastebin | 11:54 |
| ideal | Ok,thank you.I'm a fresh here. | 11:55 |
| iositd | ideal, can you try to install glib? | 11:55 |
| joep | I don't think I have amarok installed. I will do that now. WIll come back but have to sign off now. | 11:55 |
| Slart | !paste | ideal | 11:55 |
| ubotu | ideal: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Johnny_5: just sudo chown or sudo chmod the folder | 11:55 |
| Johnny_5 | k | 11:56 |
| joep | Correction : I'm using Gnome (am allergic to KDE). | 11:56 |
| Slart | ideal: try running this in a terminal "sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev" then try ./configure again | 11:56 |
| unocrash | hey | 11:56 |
| iositd | Slart, you're aware of using apt-get build-dep right? | 11:56 |
| unocrash | Whats a good screen recorder for Ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| ideal | Thank you, I'm running it | 11:57 |
| l0tU5 | Thanks | 11:57 |
| Slart | iositd: yes.. I'm just assuming that whatever he's installing isn't available as a package.. and build-dep doesn't work then, or? | 11:57 |
| waylandbill | unocrash: screen capture? hit the print screen button. | 11:57 |
| iositd | Slart, hmm ... yeah that's true | 11:58 |
| l0tU5 | How would Gparted help with cloning? | 11:58 |
| iositd | l0tU5, DD would be the fastest and easiest to use | 11:58 |
| unocrash | waylandbill: I know that! I been with ubuntu for a few years, but never found a screen recorder compatible with it. | 11:58 |
| iositd | Slart, might help to know what package he's installin =) | 11:58 |
| iositd | unocrash, recordmydesktop ? | 11:58 |
| iositd | !find recordmydesktop | 11:58 |
| ubotu | Found: - | 11:58 |
| unocrash | never heard of Recordmydesktop | 11:59 |
| Slart | iositd: well.. yes...it might.. but where's the fun in taking the easy route ;) | 11:59 |
| unocrash | where do i get? Command line, package, website? | 11:59 |
| iositd | unocrash, p recordmydesktop - Captures audio-video data of a Linux deskt | 11:59 |
| waylandbill | l0tU5: GParted would do the copying graphically, but basically does what dd does. | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | unocrash: its sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop | 11:59 |
| unocrash | ok | 11:59 |
| l0tU5 | ok... at the moment I have 2 of the hard drives in 1 machine... The 1 that i want to clone and 1 of the other hard drives... what do i do? | 11:59 |
| iositd | Slart, heh ... that's true | 12:00 |
| crackerjackz | i had to reinstall ubuntu now "apt-get install" wont work | 12:00 |
| crackerjackz | am i missing some packages or something | 12:00 |
| Slart | !doesntwork | 12:00 |
| ubotu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:00 |
| waylandbill | crackerjackz: can you pastebin apt-get output? | 12:00 |
| iositd | l0tU5, boot from another disc (liveCD preferably) and then do DD if=/dev/to/clone/from of=/dev/to/clone/to | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | crackerjackz: you need to select a package t install. try sudo apt-get update | 12:00 |
| crackerjackz | waylandbill what do you mean? | 12:00 |
| guycook | in gnome what do I use to setup the monitors? Is there a gui that will do that? | 12:00 |
| abhi_ | can anyone tell me how to edit MIME types for Ubuntu? I want to get rid of a mime type | 12:01 |
| ideal | Slart,I did it.Thank you so much. | 12:01 |
| waylandbill | apt-get doesn't work isn't specific enough. Is it outputting an error? | 12:01 |
| crackerjackz | actionparsnip apt-get update worked but when i try apt-get install gkrellm for example | 12:01 |
| Slart | ideal: you're welcome | 12:01 |
| unocrash | crackerjackz: the command line works like this | 12:01 |
| crackerjackz | or any other package | 12:01 |
| crackerjackz | it cant find them | 12:01 |
| l0tU5 | Ok thanks... Now what if I want to create an "image" file of the partition to download from a server? | 12:01 |
| unocrash | crackerjackz: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop | 12:02 |
| iositd | crackerjackz, please give us the output of what it tells you when you try to install a package on pastebin please. | 12:02 |
| fx|RabBit | hi all! | 12:02 |
| unocrash | crackerjackz: To install recordmydesktop, that's the command line | 12:02 |

| Adantan_Alex | hi | 12:15 |
| mernil | hi alex | 12:15 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: testing a uni assignment at home so need apache to run the c++ cgi | 12:15 |
| mernil | but c++ as cgi language.. | 12:16 |
| knifepoint | mernil: yes | 12:16 |
| mernil | hm.. well.. it's a free country :-) | 12:17 |
| knifepoint | mernil: had it running at uni which is all set up i just want to do some testing at home | 12:17 |
| mernil | okay | 12:17 |
| Duskin | woot | 12:17 |
| waylandbill | knifepoint: I didn't think there was anything special needed for compiled cgi executables other than being in the cgi folder and having +x permission | 12:17 |

| Duskin | ubuntu rawks! | 12:17 |
| Survivorman | ideal, if you tried to sudo apt-get install glib, that won't work. You may need to sudo apt-cache search glib first and get a list of packages. I think it might be libglib2.0-0 or something. | 12:17 |
| eth01 | hiya mernil, just stick on topic | 12:18 |
| Duskin | ok im outta here to get on my real irc server | 12:18 |
| mernil | im always on topic! | 12:18 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: hmmm well both the folder and file have +x permisions and its not running the program just coming up as a download | 12:18 |
| Duskin | cyall laters! | 12:18 |
| dooba | oh sorry folks. good morning :) | 12:18 |
| eth01 | okay | 12:18 |
| Duskin | gah | 12:18 |

| Smegzor | How good is ubuntu at communicating with usb printers? It has endless trouble with my HP, but the cable and printer work great on XP. | 12:19 |
| dooba | oops! i forgot...some are eveing and some are night lol | 12:19 |
| Duskin | can someone help? im trying to connect to a different irc server | 12:19 |
| waylandbill | knifepoint: is the file located in the folder designated for cgi scripts as defined in apache's conf file? | 12:19 |
| Duskin | and im using x-chat | 12:19 |
| mernil | Duskin: try "/connect" server.org | 12:20 |
| con-man | Smegzor: Ubuntu should have no more trouble than any other distro of linux | 12:20 |
| dooba | right now, Duskin? | 12:20 |
| shauns | motd | 12:20 |
| mernil | works in irssi | 12:20 |
| Slart | Smegzor: well.. if it's a proper printer.. with it's own cpu and such, ubuntu probably supports it nicely.. if it's one of those host-based printers where the driver does all the work.. it probably doesn't | 12:20 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: didnt know it matter i just created a cgi-bin and slapped it in there ill go check the conf file now | 12:20 |
| mernil | the numero uno irc-cliento! | 12:20 |
| Duskin | didnt work | 12:20 |
| Duskin | and yes, im using it right now | 12:20 |
| mernil | strange :-/ | 12:20 |
| waylandbill | knifepoint: yup. Can't execute scripts just anywhere. :) | 12:20 |
| Smegzor | its a HP Photosmart 7450 | 12:20 |
| dooba | sorry but what is that, mernil? | 12:21 |
| mernil | dooba: irssi.org .. the best irc-client according to me .. and many other | 12:21 |
| Smegzor | I have the latest HP linux driver for it, but it get better performance with a pencil. | 12:21 |
| Duskin | nevermind i found it | 12:21 |
| Duskin | thx though | 12:21 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: well thats silly as if security is important :P | 12:21 |
| mernil | yw | 12:21 |
| Slart | Smegzor: sounds like a host-based printer to me | 12:21 |
| Smegzor | I'm pretty sure it is | 12:22 |
| Slart | Smegzor: but check www.linuxprinting.org | 12:22 |
| Smegzor | ok | 12:22 |
| sunbird | hi everyone. | 12:22 |
| Skiessi | hi | 12:22 |
| sunbird | don't suppose anyone has the time/energy to help me figure out why 7.10x64 | 12:22 |
| sunbird | won't recognize my internal bluetooth adapter. | 12:22 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, do you have hpijs installed? | 12:23 |
| waylandbill | knifepoint: let me know if that was it. hopefully the uni will teach python for cgi. You'll feel like your in heaven then. :) | 12:23 |
| Smegzor | Survivorman: yes | 12:23 |
| alexander | #SLUG | 12:23 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: yeah we're hitting up perl for the next assignment so thats a step up | 12:24 |
| dooba | thanks for the recommendation! :) | 12:24 |
| sunbird | $ hcitool scan | 12:25 |
| sunbird | Device is not available: No such device | 12:25 |
| sunbird | :( | 12:25 |
| Slart | knifepoint: perl? a step up?.. oh my.. you're in for a surprise ;) | 12:25 |
| dooba | I'm very new to Linux and Ubuntu. Just downloaded v6.06.1 and burnt onto a CD-R. | 12:25 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, have you been here: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html | 12:25 |
| sunbird | the weird thing is... i know it CAN work because i had it working after installing from the live CD> | 12:26 |
| adrock358 | hello all. ahve a question for you. just rendered my os (vista) unusable. I enlarged the partition, then could't boot from it. i've tried everything. and my question is, if i install vista on another partition (install it again), will I be able to browse my primary partition from there, transfer my data to my new vista os, and save the day? | 12:26 |
| sunbird | but then i did a new install from the alternate because i wanted to crypt my install. | 12:26 |
| dooba | read the ubuntu url and the support page referred me to here. glad i did | 12:26 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, it was referred to from the HP driver page for your printer | 12:26 |
| waylandbill | knifepoint: perl is written by a linguist. It's ironic because it's unreadable after writing. :) | 12:26 |
| gejr | dooba: 6.06..if i recall correctly latest version is 8.04. Don't think there's ever been a 6.06.1 ^^ | 12:26 |
| Smegzor | Survivorman: Yeah and I updated to the latest version today - no joy | 12:26 |
| sunbird | adrock358: is your vista partition also your primary partition? | 12:26 |
| eth01 | perl wasn't designed to be easy. | 12:27 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, what seems to be the problem specifically. HP support tends to be great on Ubuntu :( | 12:27 |
| Smegzor | I don't think its the printer driver. it seems to be a communications problem and there are log entries about it. | 12:27 |
| gejr | eth01: that's where you're wrong | 12:27 |
| eth01 | gejr: how could i be wrong about that? | 12:27 |
| incorrect | is anyone aware of a VPN focused project? | 12:27 |
| adrock358 | the reason why i am in this forum is because I am also an ubuntu user. I use a dual boot, but had to erase the ubuntu partition too, because i've messed up my system. so now i want to recover data, and reinstall. | 12:27 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. yes | 12:27 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: yeah it does appear a little hacked up so many ways to do the same thing | 12:27 |
| dooba | Or was it v6.06.2, gejr?lol...\i can't reemeber fully | 12:27 |
| eth01 | incorrect: openvpn | 12:27 |
| gejr | it's the primary example of a language that's "supposed to be easy" | 12:27 |
| incorrect | eth01, distribution | 12:27 |
| incorrect | like say freeNAS | 12:27 |
| gejr | eth01: its in the same boat as python and php | 12:28 |
| sunbird | adrock358: did you back up before resizing the partition? | 12:28 |
| eth01 | incorrect: freenas, ipcop, clarkeconnect | 12:28 |
| adrock358 | sunbird...no | 12:28 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. of course not. otherwise i wouldn't be here in the forum | 12:28 |
| sunbird | adrock358: ack. | 12:28 |
| eth01 | clarkconnect, even | 12:28 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. i know. | 12:28 |
| gejr | dooba: whichever it was, you're probably best of downloading the latest release ;) 6.X would indicate it's a release from 2006 | 12:28 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. what | 12:28 |
| incorrect | i am looking for something like a linux vpn concentrator project | 12:28 |
| Evil_Ed | yo | 12:28 |
| zerod | sup | 12:28 |
| Smegzor | Survivorman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61917/ | 12:28 |
| dooba | all i remember is that it was the last version of ubuntu 6 before it went to v7. | 12:28 |
| Smegzor | Those are some of the problems being logged | 12:29 |
| gejr | dooba: that'd make it 6.10 edgy eft or something like that | 12:29 |
| eth01 | incorrect: clarkconnect | 12:29 |
| sunbird | adrock358: what was your setup prior to repartitioning? | 12:29 |
| zerod | ok | 12:29 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. what's the best way to recover my data? i tried the data recovery progs on hiren, but they ll seem very time consuming and confusing. | 12:29 |
| Evil_Ed | interest | 12:29 |
| dooba | gejr: noooo....\i didn't chose Edgy Eft due to too high requirements. lol | 12:29 |
| gejr | dooba: ah..you've downloaded the LTS | 12:30 |
| adrock358 | ubuntu-vista dual boot. then i resized vista (enlarged it. then I reinstalled ubuntu. now, my computer won't boot to anything. nothing loads. | 12:30 |
| dooba | correct gejr \;0 | 12:30 |
| eth01 | adrock358: mbr broke | 12:30 |
| crackerjackz | is there a way i can make it to where people cant press F12 when the computer is starting up to keep them from booting off a CD | 12:30 |
| gejr | dooba: 7.10 is the latest stable obviously. I'd go with that if i were you. | 12:30 |
| waylandbill | gejr: easy for extraction and report. not to read. I prefer sys.stdin to $_. :) | 12:30 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. i tried the vista recovery tools, didn't work. tried to rebuild mbr, that didn't work. tried to use hiren, that didn't fix it. | 12:30 |
| Gatestone | What is the state of art in reverse-engineering the Exchange protocol? Why is it that Blacberry, Visto, Smartner, Roadsync and bunch of other 3rd party tools to access Exchange from a phone does exist, but no real exchange client fot Linux? (OWA does not cut it, because out company OWA is behind a non-standard portal, restricted and useless). | 12:30 |
| eth01 | crackerjackz: look at your BIOS. DEL. | 12:30 |
| incorrect | thanks | 12:30 |
| Skiessi | crackerjackz, probably not | 12:31 |
| crackerjackz | eth01 what would i be looking for in there? | 12:31 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: this may be worth a look: http://www.sysresccd.org | 12:31 |
| sunbird | adrock358: sorry. i had a similar problem in november and wasn't able to recover anything. :( | 12:31 |
| lksl | hi | 12:31 |
| === tdoggette is now known as tdoggette_ | ||
| eth01 | Gatestone: there wouldn't seem a need to do so, so-to-speak. | 12:31 |
| gejr | waylandbill: and that's where you're correct. Perl is not necessarily easy to read:) | 12:31 |
| LadyNikon | abackup.. backup..backup | 12:31 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. ubuntu-vista dual boot. then i resized vista (enlarged it. then I reinstalled ubuntu. now, my computer won't boot to anything. nothing loads. | 12:31 |
| dooba | gejr: v7.10 was too high requirement. :( i don't have the latest computer. | 12:31 |
| Skiessi | crackerjackz, but you can make BIOS boot only from CD and add a passward for changing the settings | 12:31 |
| eth01 | crackerjackz: well, nothing really. what bios is it? | 12:31 |
| kane77 | dooba, what computer do you have? | 12:31 |
| LadyNikon | adrock358: please dont repeat yourself. | 12:31 |
| gejr | dooba: it's linux. Who cares about requirements? How crappy is this computer? | 12:31 |
| crackerjackz | eth01 im not sure which bios it is | 12:31 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, from what I read (things such as the media jam error" and after googling a bit, it seems it might be a hardware issue more than likely | 12:32 |
| dooba | my computer? crappy? hardly gejr lol | 12:32 |
| crackerjackz | you see i had to reinstall ubuntu cuz some dickwad stuck a windows cd in it | 12:32 |
| Survivorman | *) | 12:32 |
| dooba | it works still good :) | 12:32 |
| sunbird | adrock358: if you repartitioned and did an install after the partition, you may have overwritten the files. | 12:32 |
| eth01 | crackerjackz: somebody just suggested it. boot only from your HDD, and password protect BIOS wholly. | 12:32 |
| Slart | dooba: if you turn off the bling bling you can run 7.10 on almost anything.. | 12:32 |
| crackerjackz | and i want to prevent that from happening again | 12:32 |
| gejr | all i know is that if you have an ancient pentium processor, don't go with gentoo. | 12:32 |
| gejr | or worse, for that matter | 12:32 |
| === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||
| adrock358 | distrojockey, eth01. isn't there a way to install another os, then look at my files on the vista partition? then i could back them up. | 12:32 |
| lksl | hi i got ubuntu on livecd and on thehard disk | 12:32 |
| lksl | how to check i m running on what ? | 12:32 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, if indeed there is no jam and you have paper, etc | 12:32 |
| eth01 | adrock358: hm | 12:32 |
| crackerjackz | thank you eth01 | 12:32 |
| Acomaco | howto run a shell upon boot? | 12:32 |
| gejr | adrock358: you could use a live cd for that | 12:32 |
| Acomaco | with root rights | 12:32 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: its not good if my httpd.conf file is empty right? | 12:33 |
| Gatestone | eth01, 1000 million people work for companies that use Exchange mail. Do you say there is no need for them to access that from Linux? | 12:33 |
| joep | I'm back. | 12:33 |
| Skiessi | huh what did eth01 do? | 12:33 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: that link I provided should do that | 12:33 |
| dooba | gejr: i have Pentium 2 @ 400mhz. 390 mb RAM | 12:33 |
| === gof is now known as GOFY | ||
| Slart | lksl: well.. you could check where your root drive is mounted from | 12:33 |
| Smegzor | Survivorman: its definitely not jamming :( | 12:33 |
| Acomaco | knifepoint it doesn't matter.. | 12:33 |
| waylandbill | crackerjackz: disable booting from CD in the bios, or remove the cd drive entirely. | 12:33 |
| AlabamaHit | Hello | 12:33 |
| gejr | dooba: sounds more than sufficient for ubuntu 7.10^^ | 12:33 |
| Slart | lksl: cat /etc/mtab might work | 12:33 |
| adrock358 | sunbird. but my vista os, still shows up as an os. i didn't overwrite the files at all. they are all still there, I am sure of it. it's just that my os won't load for some reason. | 12:33 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: a live cd is what it is | 12:33 |
| Slart | dooba: indeed.. go with 7.10 | 12:33 |
| Smegzor | I'll change the cable, u never know.. | 12:33 |
| eth01 | Gatestone: i'm not debating it in here :) | 12:33 |
| joep | I installed exaile and loaded some .wav files but no sound. Any suggestions? | 12:33 |
| eth01 | Skiessi: what? | 12:33 |
| dooba | i take it 7.10 is the consensus? lol :) | 12:33 |
| prodigel | Hi. I'm searching for some way to add a new item to right-click menu like send-to -> floppy that runs a script for mount/copy/umount actions. Do you know an efficient method for this? | 12:34 |
| Slart | dooba: I'm running xubuntu on a mini-itx machine.. 600mhz with 256 mb.. works nicely | 12:34 |

| adrock358 | distrojockey. I am on my livecd, and my internet connec crashes if i open a browser window in addition to another internet app. (darn usb wifi). | 12:34 |

| crackerjackz | any one know of a case that already exist thats made for keeping people out | 12:34 |

| waylandbill | crackerjackz: there are cases that take padlocks, but someone who wants in will get in | 12:35 |
| gejr | adrock358: definately a linux live cd. Is there such a thing as a windows live cd? | 12:35 |
| fernando | there is a mistake on an ubuntu aplication update ...someone could correct it? | 12:35 |

| Survivorman | Smegzor, then perhaps try the new cable. It seems it may very well be a cable/usb issue | 12:35 |
| waylandbill | crackerjackz: is it located in a public place or something? | 12:35 |

| Slart | fernando: don't forget the / /join #ubuntu-pt | 12:40 |
| Adantan_Alex | i loaded xubuntu on a live CD | 12:40 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | hi! i've got a bad problem on Gutsy: I changed the login screen, and now I can't log in at all: when starting, it says "Greeter application crashed, attempting to use another one" - upon which I get the same error message, in a loop... i'm online using live-cd... | 12:40 |

| DistroJockey | adrock358: Using sudo fdisk -l , find the NTFS device name, then mount it (e.g. mkdir /mnt/vista && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vista ) | 12:40 |
| pihhan | joep: lspci list only devices in slots, you need to find driver for your card, or tell us what model you have | 12:40 |
| kane77 | Freakylinks, sudo aptitude install amsn doesn't work? | 12:40 |
| waylandbill | joep: did you look at 'dmesg' and verify that the card is not found? if so, you want to 'lsmod' and see if the module was loaded into the kernel | 12:40 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: try that if you haven't first^ | 12:40 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. ok waht next? | 12:40 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. ok. i will | 12:41 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. then i can repartition some things and move my data to a new aprtition? | 12:41 |
| Adantan_Alex | someone help lol | 12:41 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: Im gonna go sit in my corner now... i was testing the file on my desktop which wasn't on apache hence why it wouldnt open | 12:41 |
| Freakylinks | kane77: yeah but i install with everything right.. although when i try to star the app, a output error pop out telling me about a tcxcimage...sometin like that.. | 12:41 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: works fine now.... :P | 12:41 |
| joep | Thanks for the suggestions. I will do an lsmod for the Sb modules. | 12:41 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: I wouldn't try repartitioning until you have a backup | 12:41 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | could someone help me? hi! i've got a bad problem on Gutsy: I changed the login screen, and now I can't log in at all: when starting, it says "Greeter application crashed, attempting to use another one" - upon which I get the same error message, in a loop... i'm online using live-cd... | 12:41 |
| Slart | Adantan_Alex: what's the problem? | 12:42 |
| knifepoint | waylandbill: thanks for the help | 12:42 |
| waylandbill | knifepoint: n/p | 12:42 |
| adrock358 | distrojeckey. then only space i have free is a 50 gb partition. i suppose that will suffice. i can move the data to that part. right? | 12:42 |
| gejr | adrock358: sounds complicated. I'd move everything i wanted onto a usb stick or external HD and wipe the whole disk and repartition it. | 12:42 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok im installing xubuntu | 12:42 |
| Adantan_Alex | and | 12:42 |
| Smegzor | Survivorman: I think I fixed the problem. I plugged the printer into my front-side usb and its working now :O | 12:42 |

| mzuverink | could some please enlighten me as to the command to enable userdir in apache2? | 12:42 |
| AlabamaHit | what is that? | 12:43 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: possibly | 12:43 |
| joep | Yes I did that and as far as I can see all modules referring to sound are there. | 12:43 |
| Slart | Adantan_Alex: take a deep breath.. then explain your problem on one line if possible.. keep your finger off that enter-key until you're done explaining =) | 12:43 |
| Survivorman | Smegzor, great! Must be some poor connection. Glad to hear it. | 12:43 |
| dooba | cracker: Can older hardware work on 7.10? Got various audio cards and video cards, mostly PCI but a few AGP 1 or 2. yes my motherboard is older. lol | 12:43 |
| Adantan_Alex | .... | 12:43 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | i can't reinstall my system because I'd lose music/pictures/videos, I can't backup those things because it won't give me access from the livecd. how do I change permissions? | 12:43 |
| waylandbill | joep: do you have /dev/dsp ? | 12:44 |
| idealab_loco | REGISTER idealab | 12:44 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: if you want to pastebin the sudo fdisk -l results, it may help | 12:44 |
| pihhan | joep: can you provide output of lspci | grep -i audio? | 12:44 |
| Lainy | Hello, I'm trying to install gkrellm from a .deb package, because the one in synaptic is not the newest version. Can someone tell me which file to download on the download page? http://packages.debian.org/sid/gkrellm I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. Thanks. | 12:44 |
| Slart | Robeijksjdskdj: what kind of filesystem is on the drive you're trying to access | 12:44 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | could someone help me? i've got a bad problem on Gutsy: I changed the login screen, and now I can't log in at all: when starting, it says "Greeter application crashed, attempting to use another one" - upon which I get the same error message, in a loop... i'm online using live-cd... | 12:44 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | um, i think ext3 | 12:45 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | don't know exactly | 12:45 |
| adrock358 | gejr. i only have my thirty gig ipod. but that could work if i put some data on another hd i have, and do that twice. gejr. so what you are saying is I can move the data to my ipod from the ubuntu livecd? | 12:45 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | default gutsy install | 12:45 |
| guycook | Do I want to use "Twin View" for dual monitors in ubuntu? | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, if you have a nvidia card - yes. | 12:45 |
| Slart | Robeijksjdskdj: probably ext3 then.. but I can't figure out why the live cd wouldn't let you access an ext3-partition.. | 12:45 |
| gejr | adrock358: i've never tried to mount an ipod from a live cd, but if you manage to do that, then yes. It'd definately work. | 12:45 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | i can access the partition | 12:45 |
| guycook | So that I can drag from one screen to the other right Dr_willis ? | 12:45 |
| pihhan | Lainy: it does not work this way, you have to find source with newer package, or some backport for gutsy. Package from debian sid might be different | 12:45 |
| waylandbill | Lainy: you will run into dependency hell using debian sid packages. Why not build from source from project's site? | 12:45 |
| guycook | Yes i'ts nvidia | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, twinview can make both monitors one big wide screen | 12:46 |
| adrock358 | gejr. yeah, my ipod is mounted already. that sounds awesome. how would i go about doing that? | 12:46 |
| Lainy | pihhan, waylandbill: Okay, thanks. | 12:46 |
| Adantan_Alex | any way i want to install xubuntu and the task bar wont show.... my computer has 256 megabytes of memory and so if i install it will it show? | 12:46 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | i can access my home folder... but not the folders of music, video, etc | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis | !twinview | guycook | 12:46 |
| ubotu | guycook: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 12:46 |
| Adantan_Alex | i checked the disc and its good | 12:46 |
| elbermungsterses | hi, how do you empty your /var/cache/apt/archives? | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, twinview replaces 'xinerama' :) in funcationality | 12:46 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. the way gejr is descriving sounds easeier. i think I'd like to do that. | 12:46 |
| dooba | ok. this channel is probably a bit too much to ask here for me as a beginner. lol! :) Maybe emailing is better? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Robeijksjdskdj: check the owner | 12:46 |
| Survivorman | Robeijksjdskdj, you could open nautilus as root? | 12:46 |
| pihhan | Lainy: try to find same package from ubuntu 8 beta, that would be better choice. you might need recompile them however | 12:47 |
| waylandbill | elbermungsterses: sudo apt-get autoclean | 12:47 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please? | 12:47 |
| fernando | is someone here able to talk about pt ubuntu server? | 12:47 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | hm. it says owner is "1000" | 12:47 |
| joep | pibhan: yes I have /dev/dsp and I have found that lspci gives the various slots for the SB card although ububtu apparently doesn't want to use lspci -i but uses some database file in usr/share/misc. | 12:47 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. sorry for the misspelling. there's like 10 things on my desk right now that are in my way. | 12:47 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: fair enough | 12:47 |
| Lainy | pihhan: Alright. | 12:47 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, thanks I"m finding now that I need to run nvidia-settings as root it seems | 12:47 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: np | 12:47 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, or I mean sudo right? | 12:47 |
| Adantan_Alex | any way i want to install xubuntu and the task bar wont show.... my computer has 256 megabytes of memory and so if i install it will it show? | 12:47 |
| Adantan_Alex | i checked the disc and its good | 12:47 |
| gejr | adrock358: i guess the ipod can be used like an external harddrive. Just create a folder on it and copy your music/documents/pictures/porn there :) at least that's how other mp3 players i've used works | 12:47 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, since its a 'system setting' kind of tool.. that makes logical sence. :) | 12:47 |
| Survivorman | in a terminal can you sudo nautilus /home/yourhome/ and gain access from the livecd that way? | 12:48 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | @survivorman ok, so you mean rebooting into failsafe mode and then doing "nautilus" | 12:48 |
| dooba | hi lin | 12:48 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | ? | 12:48 |
| pihhan | joep: does aplay -l show something interesting, without error? | 12:48 |
| waylandbill | pihhan: probably would need to get that from backports. I'm sure trying a hardy package would have unsatisfied dependencies. | 12:48 |
| adrock358 | gejr. but how do i mount my hd partition so that I can copy info from it. i think i have to be root. | 12:48 |
| Adantan_Alex | can someone help? | 12:48 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | i'll try | 12:48 |
| b4l74z4r | is there a way to get ubuntu to set turn on num lock by default, like windows does? | 12:48 |
| Survivorman | Robeijksjdskdj, you should be able to get root access in a livecd session. | 12:48 |
| Survivorman | I think | 12:48 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: I gave those instructions :) | 12:48 |
| adrock358 | gejr. it won't mount my hd. | 12:48 |
| LGKeiz | Whats a good music player for ubuntu that supports alot of codecs >.>; | 12:48 |
| LGKeiz | I can't find any :p | 12:48 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. ok, let me try that. thanks. | 12:49 |
| joep | pibhan: yes: it says: device list:204 no soundcards found.. | 12:49 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: np | 12:49 |
| Slart | LGKeiz: what kind of sound files do you want to play? | 12:49 |
| gejr | adrock358: sudo mount /dev/sd<tab><tab> /mnt/whatever_directory | 12:49 |
| adrock358 | gejr. i'm going to try to mount with distr's instructions. | 12:49 |
| Acomaco | LGKeiz, vlc | 12:49 |
| Survivorman | if think the root password is root on a livecd session Robeijksjdskdj | 12:49 |
| LGKeiz | though so | 12:49 |
| gejr | might need to add a -t ntfs there | 12:49 |
| Slart | LGKeiz: audacious, xmms, amarok, mpd | 12:49 |
| Acomaco | LGKeiz amarok is nice also | 12:49 |
| gooody | i'm a newbie and i need help | 12:49 |
| dooba | welcome to the world, gooody . so am i | 12:50 |
| pihhan | joep: what soundcard do you have? | 12:50 |
| gejr | exaile/banshee are nice music players | 12:50 |
| gooody | any1 can help me? | 12:50 |
| elbermungsterses | thnx | 12:50 |
| gejr | but i prefer mpd =) | 12:50 |
| Slart | gooody: well.. my telepathy is a bit rusty.. we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way.. you'll have to tell me what the problem is | 12:50 |
| === ce_cuTe is now known as strawbee_ree | ||
| Robeijksjdskdj | @Survivorman thanks, that worked. | 12:50 |
| pihhan | gooody: if you say what is your problem, we might be able to tell you solution | 12:50 |
| LGKeiz | Ok Im hearing no sound from VLC :p | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !hel p| gooody | 12:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hel p - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:51 |
| LGKeiz | at all. | 12:51 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | @Survivorman I think what I'll now do is that I'll backup my stuff and then reinstall completely. it just sucks having to do that just because of a faulty login screen!! | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !help | gooody | 12:51 |
| ubotu | gooody: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 12:51 |
| mernil | unbelivable .. not a singel person on gaim :-O | 12:51 |
| joep | pibhan: soundblaster live 5.1 but it works without a ptoblem with my other distribution (Fedora 7) so I think there is something different somwhere in the alsa-chain. | 12:51 |
| mernil | Hi all btw! :-) | 12:52 |
| pihhan | LGKeiz: are you sure you have correct settings in vlc? does vlc play sounds with other files? | 12:52 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, the nvidia-settings in sudo from the prompt doesn't 'see' the 2nd monitor? | 12:52 |
| Slart | mernil: you're still using gaim? why not pidgin? | 12:52 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62009/ | 12:52 |
| Adantan_Alex | any way i want to install xubuntu and the task bar wont show.... my computer has 256 megabytes of memory and so if i install it will it show? | 12:52 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, doesn't detect it? | 12:52 |
| Adantan_Alex | i checked the disc and it work | 12:52 |
| Survivorman | I'm not an expert here, but does anyone know if reconfiguring or reinstalling gdm would fix Robeijksjdskdj greeter crashing problem potentially? | 12:52 |
| Adantan_Alex | works* | 12:52 |
| mernil | Slart: i meant pidgin .. old habits die hard.. :-) | 12:52 |
| LGKeiz | pihhan; >.>;..uhm | 12:52 |
| LGKeiz | let me check. | 12:52 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. i followed your instructs, but i ahve to be root. | 12:52 |
| Slart | mernil: =) | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, you have 2 video cards? or 1 card with 2 video outs? - I normally use the nvidia-xconfig tool to enable twinview from the command line. | 12:53 |
| pihhan | Survivorman: if he does purge on uninstalation, propably yes, it should fix it | 12:53 |
| collo | collo | 12:53 |
| Slart | gooody: to install screenlets.. hmm.. hang on | 12:53 |
| dooba | ok. is there an email addy i can ask for help then? thanks. :) | 12:53 |
| gooody | i want to know how to install screenlets in ubuntu gutsy | 12:53 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. brb | 12:53 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: ohh, I get the same, sorry | 12:53 |
| LGKeiz | um what settings do I need to chang ein VLC | 12:54 |
| Survivorman | so sudo aptitude purge gdm and then sudo apt-get install gdm? | 12:54 |
| collo | is this the only room? | 12:54 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody | 12:54 |
| dooba | lo dok :) | 12:54 |
| JoeLinux117 | gooody: sudo aptitude install screenlets | 12:54 |
| doktoreas | anyone knows a software that generates a diagram from a postgreSQL db? | 12:54 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | @pihhan so you think i should reboot into failsafe mode and then "sudo aptitude purge gdm and then sudo apt-get install gdm"? | 12:54 |
| LGKeiz | pihhan; what settings do I need to change? | 12:54 |
| Slart | gooody: try searching for screenlets in synaptic (system, administration, synaptic package manager) | 12:54 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, I have one card with 2 outputs one analog and one digital | 12:55 |
| Survivorman | Robeijksjdskdj, back the stuff up first, then give it a try | 12:55 |
| sunbird | which FS should i use for a 150GB backup drive? i need to backup my machine (ubuntu/osx DB) and my partner's machine (windows), so i need it to be reliably writable in (at least) windows and ubuntu. | 12:55 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | ok, shall do. | 12:55 |
| pihhan | Robeijksjdskdj: you should switch to terminal before, dont do that from running session | 12:55 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, nvidia-xconfig at the prompt as sudo right? | 12:55 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | @pihhan when i reboot into failsafe all i have is a terminal.... is that what you mean? | 12:55 |
| pihhan | Robeijksjdskdj: alt+ctrl+f1 to terminal, it should be safe from there | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | LGKeiz: does play work? does amarok work? | 12:56 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | ok, i'll try that then | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, since its a 'system wide' type config tool... of course. :) | 12:56 |
| Slart | sunbird: well.. windows is a bit picky when it comes to file systems.. there is drivers for ext3 for windows but I don't know how good they are | 12:56 |
| Survivorman | thanks for the help pihhan | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | !ext3 | 12:56 |
| ubotu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 12:56 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | yeah, thanks pihhan and surivorman!! | 12:56 |
| LGKeiz | ..I hit play on VLC | 12:56 |
| LGKeiz | and .. | 12:56 |
| Survivorman | np Robeijksjdskdj | 12:56 |
| LGKeiz | it moves, the progress bar, but no sound :p | 12:56 |
| joep | Robeijsksjkdj: Linux doesn't know anything about failsave: tha's MS talk. In Linux you sart in console mode. I think that you should do that and start looking in the problem. | 12:56 |
| pihhan | Robeijksjdskdj: yes, you need text terminal | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | The ext3 driver for windows works decently well. | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | LGKeiz: is the volume up on evceything | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | speakers on | 12:56 |
| mernil | i prefer reiserFS .. it's a killer filesystem! | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | failsafe mode under linux = you append the 'single' option to the kernel boot optiuons. so you just get a shell.. heh heh | 12:57 |
| dooba | thanks folks. I'll be back sometime soon :) | 12:57 |
| LGKeiz | yep | 12:57 |
| LGKeiz | or I wouldnt be on skype right now | 12:57 |
| LGKeiz | lol | 12:57 |
| Slart | mernil: well.. it's creator seems to be at least ;) | 12:57 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, when I type sudo nvidia-xconfig it just comes back to the prompt after backing up the X11/xorg.conf file | 12:57 |
| gooody | i found screenlets in gnome-look.org but i don't know how to install them | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ok so its VLC config that needs tweeaking only, yes? | 12:57 |
| mernil | Slart: mm ;-) | 12:57 |
| Slart | bah.. it's... its.. | 12:57 |
| pihhan | joep: not exactly, ubuntu makes grub entries and i think it does call them recovery mode, it is similar to safe mode from user view | 12:58 |
| === jono is now known as severedfifth | ||
| sunbird | Slart, mernil: i know reiser isn't writable in windows, but is it readable? | 12:58 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, you need to give it the proper optiions as to what you want to set. i 'think' the option is --twinview - check its advanced HELP docs with nvidia-xconfig -A (i think) | 12:58 |
| mernil | sunbird: no idea, i would say no | 12:58 |
| Survivorman | goody, you need to install screenlets first. Then you can run screenletsmanager I think to install them | 12:58 |
| pihhan | sunbird: with free drivers i believe it is not even readable | 12:58 |
| LGKeiz | ActionParsnip probably. | 12:58 |
| joep | Robeijsksjkdj: If you are in graphic mode type shift-Ctrl-1 and you are in the first console screen. | 12:58 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, you may wan tbo backup your existing/working xorg.conf file first also. | 12:59 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, that backup was done already on my first try | 12:59 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, I'll try the HELP docs, this should be easier I"m thinking :) | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, i perfer to keep my own archived backups. :) i dont trust the things | 12:59 |
| pihhan | dont you know if there is recently new intel i950 driver able to run games using recent wine? | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, takes me all of 20 sec or so to get a new system working with twinview. :) | 12:59 |
| Slart | mernil: I have no idea.. never tried | 12:59 |
| sunbird | mernil, pihhan: thx for the info. | 13:00 |
| Robeijksjdskdj | shift-ctrl-1 or alt-ctrl-f1? | 13:00 |
| guycook | ah so I just have to create a user :) | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview | 13:00 |
| mernil | Slart and sunbird .. i dont know.. i just have windows when i look att pr0n.. so.. ;-) | 13:00 |
| gooody | how can i install screenlets in synaptic? | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, you DID have the 2nd monitor plugged in when you booted the system? | 13:00 |
| juan_ | hey i setup a http server to copy files over from an broken laptop, how do i do this, is wget the best way? | 13:00 |
| LGKeiz | ok I hear ubuntu sounds now | 13:01 |
| LGKeiz | but no VLC sounds. | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | LGKeiz: check out your /var/xorg.0.log | 13:01 |
| idealab_loco | Hello | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | !screenlets | 13:01 |
| ubotu | Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 13:01 |

| guycook | Dr_willis, yes, the 2nd monitor is on and plugged in | 13:01 |
| gejr | juan_: or..don't you have root access? | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | LGKeiz: Pretty easy fix. Hardy uses the pulseaudio sound system by default and VLC is trying to use ALSA as the vlc pulseaudio plugin isn't installed by default. Install the package "vlc-plugin-pulse" and VLC will play nice with everything else. | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, ive seen some nvidia cards. that do not like it if you plug in the monitor AFTER the system has allready booted. | 13:02 |
| Tu13es | hm, how can I run something in the background in terminal so that it doesn't quit when I close the terminal window? | 13:02 |
| gejr | juan_: even ftp in would be simpler than setting up a httpd..well well..it's a matter of taste i suppose | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Tu13es: use command & | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | e.g. firefox & | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | Tu13es, use command & and the exit command, do NOT use the close button | 13:02 |
| juan_ | i have root access, but no screen, i borrowed a monitor so i just set up a http server as its the fasted thing to do, how would i set up an ftp server | 13:02 |
| mernil | but im now running on a 416 Mhz.. processor with 196Mhz memory .. but.. i do have a 3 Gighertz processor + 2 Gig memory within armreach.. but i cant get it to work.. | 13:02 |
| Slart | Tu13es: well.. you can use the nohup command.. but that is evil in its own way... just the & won't keep it running after you close the terminal | 13:02 |
| Tu13es | ah | 13:02 |
| Tu13es | exit it is | 13:02 |
| Tu13es | maybe? | 13:03 |
| * Tu13es tries | 13:03 | |
| ActionParsnip | juan_: install ftpd :) | 13:03 |
| gooody | what is the minimum system requirements in order to install compiz, beryl or others? | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | juan_, i would think setting up a ssh server would be faster. :) | 13:03 |
| mernil | f00king annoying i must say :-/ | 13:03 |
| pihhan | joep: give me output of "lspci | grep -i audio" and i can help you find, if there exists working driver for your card | 13:03 |
| gejr | Dr_willis: transferring huge files over the encrypted ssh is a pita. | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: not that much. if your system is 4 years old or younger its fine | 13:03 |
| Slart | Tu13es: you can run it with another process as the parent.. I can't really remember the command now.. but there is a way | 13:03 |
| juan_ | ActionParsnip: then how do i get it to host my /home | 13:03 |
| LGKeiz | Ok I apt-get that, but what do I do next? | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | gejr, but its easy to setup. :) | 13:03 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, I will try to figure out if I have x-chat on that ubuntu install so I'm seeing your text there instead of here on this computer. | 13:03 |
| b4l74z4r | when i right click and select properties for a file link in nautilus i'm not able to see the full path that it links to, only the last few directories, what shoul i do to see the full path? | 13:03 |
| juan_ | in kde setting up http was drag and drop | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, sudo apt-get install xchat :) | 13:04 |
| mernil | what does puta means in spanish? | 13:04 |

| gejr | x3rox: set static ip: ifconfig <interface> <ipaddress> | 13:05 |
| === andres_ is now known as andresCanavesi | ||
| gejr | simple as that | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | LGKeiz: http://www.keyxl.com/aaa4cff/235/VLC-keyboard-shortcuts.htm | 13:06 |
| gooody | can i run compiz fusion or beryl on a pentium 4 PC with a built-in videocard? | 13:06 |
| juan_ | yes | 13:06 |
| LGKeiz | Okay, I must be stupid or something, only the left ear peice is working. | 13:06 |
| LGKeiz | nvm got it. | 13:06 |
| x3rox | I meant that the machine automatically starts with a static IP address... | 13:06 |
| LGKeiz | Thanks. | 13:06 |
| gejr | gooody: it'd depend mostly on the quality of that videocard | 13:06 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces | 13:06 |
| gejr | i tried it on an integrated intel gpu with a better processor than you have, and it was pretty slow. | 13:07 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Hold on, let me pull up my Ubuntu 7.10 Server's file... | 13:07 |
| === collo is now known as rachelle | ||
| Tu13es | hm, how do I tell my wifi to stop freaking scanning for APs? I'm not even using wifi. | 13:07 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey you there? | 13:07 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: yup | 13:07 |
| x3rox | JoeLinux117: looks currently very "DHCP"... Which syntax does it need? | 13:07 |
| collo | rachelle | 13:08 |
| === severedfifth is now known as jono | ||
| adrock358 | distrojockey what should i do? | 13:08 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: try sudo mkdir /mnt/vistamnt then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/vistamnt (change /dev/sda1 to your vista/ntfs device name, you can use something else in place of vistamnt too if you like) | 13:08 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Do you see a line in the file that looks like "auto lo"? | 13:08 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, ERROR: Cannot open display 'guycook-ubuntux64:0.0 when I type sudo nvidia-settings at the prompt | 13:08 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Is "lo" the only interface specified in the file? Because that would default all other interfaces to DHCP. | 13:08 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, maybe my efforts have installed 32bit nvidia stuff on the x64 ubuntu? | 13:09 |
| gooody | how will i know the quality of a video or graphics card? | 13:09 |
| x3rox | JoeLinux117: Yes. It is followed by a line "iface eth0 inet dhcp", I assume here I must edit, but I don't know what to enter here (I usually use SuSE) | 13:09 |
| pihhan | joep: try to sudo modprobe snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec, then check dmesg|tail if it report new sound card | 13:09 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Oh ok, perfect. Change "dhcp" to "static" | 13:09 |
| PowerTeam | Hi | 13:09 |
| gasbag | what causes jackd to get forked when i run audacity? | 13:09 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, maybe not I do have one monitor that is twice as wide I can 'scroll' as it if was 2 screens in one space. | 13:09 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Then under that, you need to add parameters, like "address 192.168.1.12" | 13:09 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62012/ | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: you'll need to either look at it physically or find out in the operating system | 13:10 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey, says i need to be root | 13:10 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Using that same syntax, "<parameter> <value>", add lines for "address", "netmask", "network", "broadcast", "gateway" | 13:10 |
| x3rox | And how do I set then the netmask and default GW ? | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, you perhaps need to do 'gksudo nvidia-settings' not sudio | 13:10 |
| adrock358 | distrojockey. i tried what you said | 13:10 |
| rachelle | hi everyone | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | rachelle | 13:10 |
| ubotu | rachelle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:10 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: "netmask 255.255.255.0", then under that, "gateway 192.168.1.254", for example. | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, I have my monitiors set up where i just grab a window and move it to the 2nd monitor.. :) | 13:11 |
| LadyNikon | heya rachelle | 13:11 |
| rachelle | thanx! | 13:11 |
| LadyNikon | thats is the laziest trigger ever | 13:11 |
| maek | !gksudo | 13:11 |
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:11 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, that's what I'm trying to do too, | 13:11 |
| rachelle | omg i am soooo fried | 13:11 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: And you probably need automatic DNS servers set up, because you won't have DHCP doing it for you, right? | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | guycook, all i normnally have to do - is isntall the nvidia drivers, then run that 'sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview' then restart the X server | 13:12 |
| mernil | man.. it's to much technical talk here | 13:12 |
| x3rox | Netmask is: 255.255.255.252 --> Which broadcast may I use, or is this not mandatory? | 13:12 |
| pihhan | joep: you might look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370458 , that guy it seems same hardware as you and might be relevant for you | 13:12 |
| DistroJockey | adrock358: getting there. the last command you tried will need a sudo infront also, but as the error states, it may be dangerous | 13:12 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: I don't think you HAVE to use broadcast, but I always put it just for completeness sake. | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | mernil, what kind of talk would you rather be seeing? | 13:12 |
| Activeobserver | hello, i am really new with ubuntu and irc, and i was wondering if anyone can help me set up my wireless connection for a macbook intell | 13:12 |
| rachelle | am i purple? | 13:12 |
| guycook | Dr_willis, I have the drivers, I'll try that command, just log off to restart the x server or shut down all the way? | 13:13 |
| joep | pihhan: I did the modprobe as root (I am not accustomed to sud0) and it is apparently not installed as dmesg also didn't show anything. | 13:13 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: To get your DNS servers, add two more lines, "dns-nameservers <space-separated list of nameservers>" | 13:13 |

| ActionParsnip | Activeobserver: as long as its for that broadcom chip its fine | 13:20 |
| Activeobserver | thanx | 13:21 |

| crackerjackz_ | what channel can i get help with secure shell? | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | lksl, you could SUMMARIZE the actual problem a bit... | 13:21 |
| LadyNikon | lksl: if you dont get an answer here.. please try the forums | 13:21 |
| Slart | lksl: shesh.. give us a chance to actually answer before you start repeating | 13:21 |
| Slart | lksl: you're running from the live cd | 13:21 |
| Pici | crackerjackz_: You can ask here. | 13:21 |
| sunbird | polishpaul: sorry. i'm a noob myself. for my atheros wireless, i had to add MODULES="ath_pci" under the modules variable in /etc/default/acpi-support, but i'm not sure how to find yours. :( i'm sure someone else does.... | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | crackerjackz #ssh perhaps? depends on the question. | 13:22 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: ah | 13:22 |
| crackerjackz_ | im trying to figure out how to install ssh on ubuntu | 13:22 |
| alexis_ | /server irc.tin.it | 13:22 |
| Pici | crackerjackz_: sudo apt-get install ssh | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | crackerjackz fire up the package manager, search for ssh, | 13:22 |
| Pici | alexis_: ditch the space in front of /server | 13:22 |
| lksl | no i m not running from a live a cd | 13:22 |
| Lamego | crackerjackz, that ssh client is installedby default | 13:22 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: hold on lemme take a look | 13:22 |
| Lamego | you want the openssh-server | 13:22 |
| * Dr_willis seconds what Lamego says | 13:22 | |
| Activeobserver | i downloaded r151517.exe | 13:22 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: thx | 13:23 |
| Pici | Lamego: the ssh metapackage includes the server and the client iirc | 13:23 |
| crackerjackz_ | pici thanks | 13:23 |
| Activeobserver | however it will not let me download it on ubuntu | 13:23 |
| Activeobserver | i mean open it | 13:23 |
| gooody | I can't enable normal or extra option on my system's visual effects. will compiz fusion or beryl still works with my PC? | 13:23 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: did you backup your pocketpc? | 13:23 |
| Slart | lksl: well.. if you say so | 13:23 |
| x3rox | JoeLinux117: It worked. Thanks a lot. | 13:23 |
| PowerTeam | i have backup | 13:23 |
| JoeLinux117 | x3rox: Great, no problem. | 13:23 |
| Dr_willis | gooody, thoes options DO enable compiz fusion.. so i would say thats a NO to your question. | 13:23 |
| lksl | Slart: r u sure i m running from a hard disk ? | 13:24 |
| === SeTam is now known as [BurcU] | ||
| Dr_willis | gooody, they jsut enable a different # of effects by default | 13:24 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: good good .. i saw that " it can erase your entire pocketpc" part | 13:24 |
| Pici | gooody: Make sure that you have the restricted drivers installed (if applicable) | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: make sure you have graphics drivers installed. Should be ok but not whizzy. you could upgrade the vga to a cheapo nvidia and be fine :) | 13:24 |
| DistroJockey | Activeobserver: what is that file for again? | 13:24 |
| crackerjackz_ | pici it freezes up at )% [connecting to security.ubuntu.com] | 13:24 |
| Activeobserver | its a driver to install ndiswrapper to my bcm4328 broadcom wireless | 13:24 |

| DistroJockey | adrock358: you happily backing up now? | 13:25 |
| Slart | Pici: yea yea.. I'll go sit in the naughty corner.. | 13:25 |
| crackerjackz_ | pici now it says "could not resolve security.ubuntu.com | 13:25 |

| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: 4 lines wich xx is exchange with number | 13:25 |
| Pici | crackerjackz_: Can you visit any websites? | 13:26 |
| crackerjackz_ | pici no i can not | 13:26 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: if understand what i mean | 13:26 |
| crackerjackz_ | your right the internet isnt working | 13:26 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: your pocketpc device. | 13:26 |
| gooody | ActionParsnip: i only have onboard graphics card. | 13:26 |
| Pici | crackerjackz_: Should you have internet access? I mean, is it connected to the network, etc? | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: no agp? | 13:26 |
| crackerjackz_ | pici its working now (wifi is flakey still havent figure out whats wrong with it) | 13:27 |
| gooody | ActionParsnip: no agp. | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: get a pci card :D | 13:27 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: shows up as usbdev2.9_ep00, usbdev2.9_ep03, usbdev2.9_ep81, usbdev2.9_ep83 | 13:27 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: now he says ttyYSB0 works for him.. but it may be different for you | 13:27 |
| crackerjackz_ | brb i gotta boot into gentoo so i can test out this ssh | 13:27 |
| Activeobserver | i downloaded r151517.exe and used the command unrar x r151517.exe did not work | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: but you may find its ok | 13:28 |
| lksl | what Slart ??? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Activeobserver: sudo apt-get install unrar | 13:28 |
| Activeobserver | i have unrar | 13:28 |
| Activeobserver | right now im getting wine | 13:28 |
| Dr_willis | why would one unrar a .exe ? | 13:28 |
| JoeLinux117 | Activeobserver: unzip r151517.exe | 13:28 |
| Dr_willis | ive used wine driverfile.exe befor | 13:28 |
| gooody | ActionParsnip: thanks for the info. | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: cos thats what those dell exes are. he needs the broadcom stuff for his wifi | 13:29 |
| Slart | lksl: only makes it hard to read, right?.. | 13:29 |
| JoeLinux117 | Dr_willis: r151517.exe is a file that contains drivers for the broadcom wireless cards. | 13:29 |
| dhee^^ | hay | 13:29 |
| Lamego | presumably an SFX exe | 13:29 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: what is the diffrence btw those files? | 13:29 |
| JoeLinux117 | ActionParsnip: All together now.. | 13:29 |
| JoeLinux117 | lol | 13:29 |
| Survivorman | so that would be cabextract file.exe | 13:29 |
| Activeobserver | unzip didnt do the tric | 13:29 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: dunno to tell the truth | 13:29 |
| Activeobserver | wine is almost done installing | 13:30 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: can you pastebin your dmesg? | 13:30 |
| Activeobserver | hopefully that works | 13:30 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. the fwcutter tools i isntalled auto-downloaded the ones for my broadcom card. | 13:30 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: goto your console and type "dmesg" | 13:30 |
| JoeLinux117 | Activeobserver: Go to www.learnaboutlinux.net/wireless_1390.htm, you will find the needed files from within that EXE directly linked there. | 13:30 |
| JoeLinux117 | Activeobserver: As well as a guide. | 13:30 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: i didnt notice how old that guide was.. | 13:30 |
| metroside | can anyone help with a quick question? | 13:31 |
| Slart | metroside: just ask.. then we'll see | 13:31 |
| Activeobserver | JoeLinux: thanks looking now | 13:31 |
| Survivorman | JoeLinux117, is he using ndiswrapper or the fwcutter program | 13:31 |
| jaffarkelshac | does anyone know how to resize icon sizes globally? | 13:31 |
| chell | hello | 13:32 |
| chell | I've got a printing problem | 13:32 |
| jaffarkelshac | hello | 13:32 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: have you looked in the preferences in a nautilus window? | 13:32 |
| rake | hola | 13:32 |
| === dhee^^ is now known as ipank_anak_tungg | ||
| UnyiL | EEEEEEEEEE | 13:32 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have not, i will now Slart | 13:32 |
| === chds1 is now known as chdst | ||
| JoeLinux117 | Survivorman: He could use the fwcutter program if he wants to use the bcm43xx driver, otherwise if he wants to use the ndiswrapper driver then he needs the bcmwl5.inf file inside the EXE. | 13:32 |
| chell | I've got an Epson Printer that's attached to a mac mini...printing from my Ubuntu box works | 13:32 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: I think there is at least some setting with 25%, 50%, 75% steps | 13:32 |
| chell | but it screws the page margins up | 13:32 |
| RedLizard | can i install ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop on the same machine without getting most gnome programs in the kde menu or the other way around? | 13:32 |
| metroside | installed dapper on a 400mhz, 64mb ram...using OpenIce looking for a GUI that will allow me to share folders. Samba is installed. | 13:32 |
| chell | cuts the upper portion of the page off | 13:32 |
| JoeLinux117 | Survivorman: I'm sure he'll just read about it in that site. | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chell: which epson? | 13:32 |
| chell | DX4250 | 13:32 |
| Survivorman | So JoeLinux117 to get that, he needs to use cabextract for the .inf | 13:32 |
| ubuhackaa | Is anyone using here b43 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron? | 13:32 |
| jaffarkelshac | but only desktop is really what i want Slart | 13:33 |
| chell | when print the same PDF from my macbook it works | 13:33 |

| jaffarkelshac | i have some images on desktop and the preview is very big Slart | 13:33 |
| JoeLinux117 | Survivorman: Well, the important files within the EXE are linked at that website I gave him, so he shouldn't even need to extract anything. | 13:33 |
| === ipank_ANAK_YUNGG is now known as ipank_ANAK_TUNGG | ||
| LadyNikon | crimeboy: please stay on topic | 13:33 |
| Slart | metroside: well.. there's always SWAT.. I think that's a web-gui.. don't really know of anything else that might run happily on that computer | 13:33 |
| Survivorman | JoeLinux117, gotcha. I used to have to use that on my broadcom setup before gutsy. | 13:33 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: how do i show u the dmesg | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | chell: have you checked your margin settings for the app printing as well as in the printer config itself | 13:34 |
| JoeLinux117 | Survivorman: Yea, me too. | 13:34 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: ah.. only preview icons.. hmm... hang on.. let me google a bit | 13:34 |
| PowerTeam | I dont wanna get banned, hehe | 13:34 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: Pastbin | 13:34 |
| metroside | thanks Slart...I installed SWAT just not sure how to use it... | 13:34 |
| chell | ActionParsnip: I'm printing from the standard Ubuntu PDF viewer | 13:34 |
| LadyNikon | !paste | PowerTeam | 13:34 |
| ubotu | PowerTeam: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 13:34 |

| metroside | I'll use google as always :) | 13:34 |
| jaffarkelshac | no worries the stops in preview does it globally presisely what i wanted Slart | 13:34 |
| ubuhackaa | With the b43-driver module loaded, iwlist fails with scanning for any networks. Is there a fix for it? | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | chell: check your page margins as well as the settings for the printer | 13:34 |
| Slart | metroside: it's a webserver I think.. so you go to the url http://localhost:5678 in a webbrowser | 13:34 |
| crackerjackz | now that ssh is install | 13:35 |
| Slart | metroside: not sure if the port is really 5678 but you get the idea | 13:35 |
| crackerjackz | how do i give my self a key on that computer so i can ssh in from my computer | 13:35 |
| crimeboy | LadyNikon: sorry mrs, but that is on topic | 13:35 |
| Activeobserver | ok i got the drive pack i need its the one i have R151517.exe it said to unzip it but it says it can not find it | 13:35 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: Type "dmesg", and check to make sure you didn't just get any errors. | 13:35 |
| chell | ActionParsnip: margins: | 13:35 |

| chell | ActionParsnip: I'm in the printer configuration thing | 13:37 |
| maxxer | is there anything in ubuntu locking lp0? | 13:37 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: What does "lspci" say? Your wireless card should be near the bottom of the output. | 13:37 |
| DarkJustice | anyone that might be able to help me in PM for a few minutes? I just installed ubuntu and don't want to flood room with questions. Never used linux before and very confused | 13:37 |

| metroside | slart have u used midnight commander? | 13:38 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: i mean is that your entire dmesg? | 13:38 |

| Adantan_Alex | what? | 13:38 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: nope | 13:38 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: only the last part | 13:38 |
| chell | what's the app called? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Adantan_Alex: thats to reconfig your screen | 13:38 |
| chell | so I can call it with sudo | 13:38 |
| Survivorman | open a terminal and type that... but he's still on livecd | 13:38 |

| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: i can paste whole thing if u want | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | chell: you doing it through cups? | 13:38 |
| Slart | jaffarkelshac: ok.. here's another thing you can try.. start gconf-editor in a terminal.. look in apps, nautilus, icon-view.. there's a thumbnail-size option there.. change it and see what happens | 13:38 |

| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: It isn't anymore available in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. It worked like a charm on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. | 13:45 |
| Willizar | how the fell can i install realplayer | 13:45 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: hold on a sec.. i got a call... < works helpdesk | 13:45 |
| Dr_willis | !realplayer | 13:45 |

| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter says: The bcm43xx driver needs extracted firmware - which cannot be shipped - to be working. This firmware can be automatically fetched and extracted as part of installing this package. | 13:45 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: ahh , np | 13:45 |
| PowerTeam | LadyNikon: I'l be back later no worries | 13:45 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: Yea, I've seen that before. | 13:45 |
| metroside | can anyone please give me a hand with sharing folders using samba? | 13:45 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinking the w32codec packs let some of the other players play realmedia stuff | 13:45 |
| Activeobserver | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62018/ I am following the instructions on the website given to me and i am having problems with the last command | 13:45 |
| Deamos | Hello everyone! | 13:45 |
| LadyNikon | PowerTeam: google how to find usbtty0 as well.. | 13:46 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, are you using gutsy? | 13:46 |
| Dr_willis | metroside, my hard and fast way -> 'sudo apt-get install samba' ' sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' - then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf as you want. :) | 13:46 |
| Willizar | Dr_willis: i have down load the file but i dont know how to install it | 13:46 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, or are you using Hardy? | 13:47 |
| Erickj92 | how do i put the applications i get off apt-get onto a cd? the .deb file i mean so others can install it. | 13:47 |
| Dr_willis | Willizar, what file? | 13:47 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: So, do you have an idea how to fix the problem? ndiswrapper isn't working here either. It doesn't add the interface (in my case wlan0). Adding it manually didn't work either. This is also a known bug but there hasn't been released a fix. | 13:47 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: If you don't mind ndiswrapper, this tutorial (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/188621) appears to have gotten someone with the same card as you working. | 13:47 |
| metroside | thanks Dr willis....done most of that...i'll double check everything | 13:47 |
| ubuhackaa | Survivorman: I'm using Hardy Heron. | 13:47 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: 4311 rev 01 | 13:47 |
| Dr_willis | metroside, i also like the fusesmb tool on my linux machunes to access the samba network. | 13:47 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: Ok, thanks. Maybe it's working now. I'll take a look on it. | 13:47 |
| Dr_willis | metroside, there is the using samba book in the samba-doc package also. :) | 13:47 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: Ok. | 13:48 |
| pharoh | #compiz-fusion | 13:48 |
| metroside | ok cool....i'll give that a go....is the package called fusesmb? | 13:48 |
| Erickj92 | how do i put the applications i get off apt-get onto a cd? the .deb file i mean so others can install it. | 13:48 |
| dgjones | !aptoncd | Erickj92 | 13:49 |
| ubotu | Erickj92: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 13:49 |
| Erickj92 | thank you | 13:49 |
| Survivorman | I'm not sure what your problem is exactly, but I had a prob where I couldn't automatically install my driver as normal under gutsy, so what I had to do was notice the file I downloaded with gutsy and the fwcutter prog, then I downloaded it manually. In Hardy, I had to uninstall/purge fwcutter and then reinstall, then from the command line run fwcutter filename. It worked fine then. | 13:49 |
| Activeobserver | JoeLinux117: i have been following the page you gave me and i am having problems running a file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62018/ | 13:49 |
| Erickj92 | dgjones, that is downloadable by apt-get? | 13:49 |
| dgjones | Erickj92, yes it should be | 13:50 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: I've seen this bug report before and tried to install it once but it didn't work either. | 13:50 |
| dgjones | Erickj92, the package name appears to "aptoncd" | 13:51 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, I replied to you above... take a look and see if that seems like your problem. It says the restricted driver is being used but no wireless? | 13:51 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: Instead of using that R151517.EXE file, go to www.learnaboutlinux.net/wireless_1390.htm and get the bcmwl5.sys file from there. Or, even better if it doesn't work, use the wl_apsta.o file that is linked under the Troubleshooting section. | 13:51 |
| Survivorman | Well it's green but not enabled? | 13:51 |
| Willizar | Dr_willis: a bin file | 13:52 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: Yeah, I've already tried this one. There are no problems with installing, etc. It even says "device present" but it fails with adding the interface wlan0. | 13:52 |
| Neurostu | does anyone know where I can get answers about which packages are supported by Hardy? | 13:53 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, do you have a green light in restricted driver? | 13:53 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: When executing sudo ifconfig wlan0, dmesg says: [ 2941.081179] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready | 13:53 |
| ubuhackaa | Survivorman: Where's the green light? | 13:53 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: That means that either the wrong driver or wrong firmware is being used. | 13:54 |
| Survivorman | in system, administration, restricted drivers manager | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | Willizar, its an executable you need to 'run' (but i hear the reapplayer installer for linux is broken) try 'chmod +x whatever.bin' then './whatever.bin' | 13:54 |
| jaffarkelshac | is there anyway to get multiple desktop wallpapers and still have icons. so far i have to disable desktop drawing to get compiz to get multiple desktop | 13:54 |
| Shuttle_ | has anyone else encountered issues with the live-cd (7.10 AND 8.04) where it boots right after it should fire up x/gdm? when I watch the progress I can see it starting gdm -> blank screen -> reboot. The CD is intact. I also tried usb-boot to no avail. The disc works fine on another machine. hardware is intel with nvidia 7800 gs(?) | 13:54 |
| ubuhackaa | Survivorman, sorry, I'm not using GNOME. Is there a command for the console? | 13:54 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: Are you sure? b43-fwcutter fetched the drivers for me. | 13:54 |
| jaffarkelshac | is there anyway to get multiple desktop wallpapers and still have icons. so far i have to disable desktop drawing to get compiz to get multiple desktop | 13:55 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: Yup, pretty sure. | 13:55 |
| Neurostu | what is the support channel for hardy heron? | 13:55 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: Otherwise it would be working, right? lol | 13:55 |

| Neurostu | THANKS! | 13:55 |
| jaffarkelshac | k | 13:55 |
| ubuhackaa | Shuttle_: I've never had such a problem here. Both, Gutsy and Hardy are working via the Live-CD. Why don't you try the alternate CD? That's what I did here. | 13:55 |
| rachelle | hi everyone | 13:55 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, I would remove the fwcutter program and purge, then reinstall it. get the apsto *spelling, file, and run fwcutter filename from the commandline. | 13:55 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, I had the same problem and fixed it that way. | 13:56 |
| jaffarkelshac | jrib, thanks | 13:56 |
| rachelle | first time i have been in this chat | 13:56 |
| Willizar | Dr_willis: i need to type that in the terminal | 13:56 |
| jrib | jaffarkelshac: it's not in the repositories by the way | 13:56 |
| DistroJockey | !hi | rachelle | 13:56 |
| ubotu | rachelle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:56 |
| Shuttle_ | ubuhackaa: I had a working ubuntu-installation with this very hardware-setup. Once. Now I'm migrating back to ubuntu - or am I? | 13:56 |
| Dr_willis | Willizar, yes. | 13:56 |
| ubuhackaa | JoeLinux117: If I didn't install b43-fwcutter, it would have worked? Or what did you mean? | 13:57 |
| metroside | I never want to run Gnome on 64 mbs of Ram again! | 13:57 |
| jaffarkelshac | googling right now | 13:57 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: I'm sure you're fine with Survivorman, I gotta run, but try http://www.learnaboutlinux.net/files/wl_apsta.o, that file worked for me. | 13:57 |
| JoeLinux117 | ubuhackaa: I meant the firmware that b43 extracts. | 13:57 |

| fx|RabBit | i got a weird graphics error with my logitec pro9000 webcam and skype anybody else? | 13:58 |
| ubuhackaa | Survivorman: Which packages did you remove? | 13:58 |
| Helix82 | Hi all | 13:58 |
| ubuhackaa | Survivorman: Is b43-fwcutter sufficient? Or where is the b43-module stored in? sudo apt-get remove --purge b43-fwcutter | 13:58 |
| Survivorman | I ran sudo aptitude purge b43-fwcutter | 13:58 |
| Helix82 | i need help in ubuntu anyone can help me.... please pvt msg me... | 13:59 |
| jayM | anyone? | 13:59 |
| Lamego | !anyone | 13:59 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 13:59 |
| jayM | i need to reset flash how do i do that? | 13:59 |
| nickrud | !ask | Helix82 | 13:59 |
| ubotu | Helix82: 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. :-) | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | Helix82, you could at least give a hint/summary of your problem to the channel. | 13:59 |
| fx|RabBit | Helix82: what kind of wquestion is that??? | 13:59 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, then I reinstalled it, and then ran bw4-fwcutter driverfilename | 13:59 |
| jaffarkelshac | before i start using ubuntu for personal stuff, how safe is it to use ubuntu. i have firewall and anti virus, and using seahorse pgp is there anything i need | 13:59 |
| ubuhackaa | Shuttle_: How did you install the working Ubuntu-installation? | 13:59 |
| Helix82 | sorry guy... | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | why do you think you need an antivirus on ubuntu? :) | 14:00 |
| Survivorman | Shuttle_, do you know he's using Hardy? | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | firewall also - is normally optional. | 14:00 |
| Shuttle_ | ubuhackaa: with a different vga-adapter at the time (matrox -> gf4ti -> gf7800gs) | 14:00 |
| ubuhackaa | Shuttle_: You said Gutsy and Heron's LiveCD didn't work? So did you use Feisty? | 14:00 |

| Activeobserver | no i dont think so atleast | 14:02 |
| Activeobserver | im using ubuntu | 14:02 |
| ubuhackaa | Survivorman: You mean the driver module? Or the driver for ndiswrapper? | 14:02 |
| ubuhackaa | Activeobserver: Which version? | 14:02 |
| Survivorman | ubuhackaa, the driver for fwcutter | 14:03 |
| Activeobserver | the newest | 14:03 |
| Activeobserver | for 386? | 14:03 |
| ubuhackaa | Activeobserver: Hardy or Gutsy? | 14:03 |

| ubuhackaa | Survivorman: Could you private-mesage me? | 14:04 |
| chell | Has anyone else experienced any printing issues in hardy? | 14:04 |
| Pici | chell: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. | 14:04 |
| ubuhackaa | chell: No, printing (even via LAN) is working alright here. | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis | chell, cups seesm to find my other machines/printers - but dosent configure them right. I have to go in and add them manually | 14:05 |

| metroside | i installed nautilus using aptitude and it was over 200 mb and 50 package, when i try removing it only will remove 5 packages and 19 mbs? Any idea how I can remove it cleanly? | 14:08 |
| chell | Pici: Ubuntu 64 bit sucks? | 14:08 |
| Pici | chell: Are you asking? | 14:08 |
| chell | yes | 14:08 |
| chell | I know that XP 64 bit sucks | 14:08 |
| chdst | chell: Using it now, there is no suck. | 14:08 |
| Pici | chell: Theres a little bit of tweaking to get some proprietary stuff working, like flash. But the experience has become easier in more recent versions of Ubutnu. | 14:09 |
| Pici | s/Ubutnu/Ubuntu/ | 14:09 |
| chdst | Yeah, hardy made all of that go away. Flash was working out of the box, in fact. | 14:09 |
| quaal | what is the command to find out what is using a soundcard | 14:10 |
| chdst | I also run 64-bit XP at home, and it also doesn't suck (any more than 32-bit XP). | 14:10 |
| quaal | it just started playing music out of nowhere | 14:10 |
| metroside | i installed nautilus using aptitude and it was over 200 mb and 50 package, when i try removing it only will remove 5 packages and 19 mbs? Any idea how I can remove it cleanly? | 14:10 |
| chell | chdst: I thought there were driver issues | 14:10 |
| quaal | metroside, nautilus is brutal | 14:10 |
| Dr_willis | that bascially installed all of gnome :) | 14:11 |
| Zyroth | When I try to start apache via "sudo apach2ctl start", nothing happens. No error message, no process in the process list afterwards (neither apache nor httpd). Any ideas? | 14:11 |
| Zyroth | (I tried #apache already) | 14:11 |
| kosta | since the last update, I cannot load the nvidia module and my screen resolution cant go beyond 800x600 | 14:11 |
| Helix82 | is there any firewall for gutsy... which can enable me to block off ping and tracert and any other technology the network administrator use to retrive info... | 14:11 |
| kosta | any ideas? | 14:11 |
| Pici | Zyroth: try: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start | 14:11 |
| metroside | yeah i know....i tried aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop but it would not remove any packages? | 14:11 |
| Pici | !firewall | Helix82 | 14:11 |
| ubotu | Helix82: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 14:11 |
| kosta | i already tried reinstalling the nvidia-gfx-new package and the newest kernel, without results | 14:12 |
| metroside | any ideas on how i tidy it up | 14:12 |
| Zyroth | Pici: It just tells me "...fail" | 14:12 |
| chdst | chell: I'm sure there are, but I haven't personally faced any in about two years. | 14:12 |
| Pici | Zyroth: No other messages? | 14:12 |
| Zyroth | Pici: Nope ;( | 14:13 |
| doktoreas | how can I convert ps to pdf splitting txt in more then one page? | 14:13 |
| doktoreas | it convert just the first one | 14:13 |
| Pici | Zyroth: Try running it with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start | 14:13 |
| chdst | Regardless, 64-bit Ubuntu is absolutely fine. You get to see all of your RAM, and if you do need to get support for the proprietary stuff, this channel has all the answers, or directions to them. | 14:14 |
| === nokheat__ is now known as nokheat | ||
| Zyroth | Pici: Says "...fail" only, again | 14:14 |
| Pici | Zyroth: Perhaps check out man apache2, maybe theres a debug or verbose argument to supply so that we can see some errors? | 14:15 |

| Zyroth | Pici: Yeah, seems pretty strange. | 14:22 |
| Survivorman | Gatestone, there were other ways to make gmail default that I used, but it broke with the new gmail. Haven't recently tested it though. | 14:23 |

| Fallen__ | Hello. I just made the mistake to try to dpkg -i a newer version of an installed package that is from hardy while I'm on gusty. Now I always get the unmet dependencies messages. apt-get -f install wants to remove 248 packages which doesn't sound like the right thing to do. How do I get out of this? | 14:23 |

| Pici | Zyroth: I was thinking it would be an apache2.conf problem, those usually cause the service not to start. But this is just weird. Perhaps the #apache people have a better idea of what do do? | 14:23 |
| S0me1 | I hope useful to you | 14:23 |
| ubuhackaa | activeobserver: Which interfaces does ifconfig show? | 14:24 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: What was the output? | 14:24 |
| Pici | !offtopic | S0me1 | 14:24 |
| ubotu | S0me1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:24 |
| jrib | Fallen__: what package | 14:24 |
| activeobserver | no output | 14:24 |
| marx2k | SOme1: tinyurl is your friend | 14:24 |
| ubuhackaa | activeobserver: Is there a wlan0? | 14:24 |
| activeobserver | just a new line | 14:24 |
| Fallen__ | jrib: libcairo2 | 14:24 |
| Zyroth | Pici: Yeah, I will show them that | 14:24 |
| jrib | S0me1: is that related to support in any way? | 14:24 |
| activeobserver | what a wlan0 | 14:24 |
| Zyroth | Pici: Thanks! | 14:24 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Okay, you should have wireless. | 14:24 |
| Fallen__ | jrib: I need >= 1.5.2 but gutsy has some 1.4 package | 14:24 |

| activeobserver | yes | 14:26 |
| metroside | thanks guys found a site that shows all of the packages in gnome so i figure I will just remove them all and that should fix the problem | 14:26 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Not *a* package specifically for that, but there is one. Let me check. | 14:26 |
| activeobserver | im pretty sure | 14:26 |
| Gatestone | Survivorman, I was thinking that it would be more elegant to have Gmail default for all mail, not just for Firefox. | 14:26 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Okay, is it called bcm4328.zip? | 14:26 |
| jrib | Fallen__: but did you not install the new package and find out that it was a mess with dependencies? | 14:26 |

| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Do you have an email? | 14:29 |
| marx2k | I use bitchx... but that's for console.. not gui | 14:29 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: no | 14:29 |
| activeobserver | yes | 14:29 |
| Survivorman | Gatestone, I agree, but the problem is that Gmail broke ALL mailto in every app in every OS with there Gmail 2 update, and I'm not sure if new hacks have been devised. Give me a sec to check. | 14:30 |
| compwiz18 | Gatestone: you can use xchat (but not the -gnome version), irssi, and konversation are some I can think of off the top of my heat | 14:30 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: ryan.seideman@gmail.com | 14:30 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Are you comfortable with saying it on the channel? | 14:30 |

| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Okay, one second. | 14:30 |
| Pici | !session | gorbierd | 14:30 |
| ubotu | gorbierd: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 14:30 |
| jaffarkelshac | when you install programs from source, and the make install finishes how do you run it, coz it does not appear in any menu | 14:31 |
| gorbierd | Pici thanks ! i think i need boot as soon as my script need a sudo perms(it customize my network options) | 14:31 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: what program ? | 14:31 |
| Mez | jaffarkelshac, it depends on the program. What program? | 14:31 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Gmail won't let me send it (it has an .exe). | 14:31 |
| Pici | gorbierd: Things that run at boot run with root permissions. | 14:31 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: AIM? =| | 14:31 |
| Gatestone | compwiz18, what do you mean I can not use xchat Gnome version? I can, but I am thinking if there is anything better. | 14:31 |

| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: Tristram29 | 14:31 |
| Owner | has anyone had trouble starting kde4 in a second x server since the kde4.0.2 update | 14:31 |

| Fallen__ | jrib: Actually, it seems it was partially installed. I managed to downgrade the package and everything is back to normal again. Thanks for answering to my question though :-) | 14:32 |
| jaffarkelshac | its called coreutils-6.10 erUSUL Mez | 14:32 |
| gorbierd | ubotu is great, is it new feature of the channel? | 14:32 |
| jrib | gorbierd: nope, he's been here a while | 14:32 |
| Survivorman | Gatestone, read this:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-gmail-as-default-mail-client-in-ubuntu/. You may need to read it through carefully as it was the original fix you wanted prior to gmail 2. | 14:32 |
| compwiz18 | Gatestone: there is an xchat, and an xchat-gnome -- I prefer xchat to xchat-gnome myself, check your package manager :) | 14:32 |
| Pici | gorbierd: ignore the message that it was forwarding your thing to the ops | 14:32 |
| Danger_ | Xchat here | 14:33 |
| gorbierd | Pici np) | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: coreutils?? why would anyone build that from source... iirc coreutils contains ls, cp, mv and that kind of "core" unix utils.... | 14:33 |
| marx2k | I'm completely starting to enjoy console based programs like bitchx and naim to their gui equals | 14:33 |
| ChaosTheory | silentobserver: Are you there? | 14:33 |
| marx2k | especially since I can be at work, ssh to my home box and go on IRC (like now) | 14:33 |
| ChaosTheory | silentobserver: I'm trying to send you it. | 14:33 |
| gorbierd | jrib ok | 14:33 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: i got it | 14:33 |
| ChaosTheory | Silentobserver? Where did I get that? =D | 14:33 |
| ChaosTheory | Silent vs. active. . . | 14:34 |
| marx2k | and using screen to persist those applications after I go home is even better | 14:34 |
| Owner | "xinit /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde -- :1" brings up x on a second virtual terminal but after the kde welcome/loading window the screen goes black | 14:34 |
| jaffarkelshac | erUSUL, why is it a bad thing | 14:34 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: heheh | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: so there you are... anytime you use mv or cp or chown from command line you will be using the "new" coreutils | 14:34 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Okay. One second. | 14:34 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: did it all come through i think i might have messed it up im really not used to this client lol | 14:34 |
| Mez | jaffarkelshac, coreutils is just a package for your command line stuff. It should be installed already | 14:35 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Hm, yes. It said the transfer was complete. | 14:35 |
| activeobserver | ok nice | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: not a bad thing per se i just though that it is rather pointless ;P | 14:35 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: now i open it right? | 14:35 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Copy and paste all of the files in it to your desktop. | 14:35 |
| jaffarkelshac | i was reading through a security list by ubuntu and that came under secure deletion | 14:36 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Now open up Terminal and do ~/Desktop | 14:36 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: just a sec still looking where the file went | 14:36 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Oops, I mean cd ~/Desktop. | 14:36 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: is there a way to search? | 14:36 |
| chell | metroside: isn't ubuntu-desktop a meta-package? | 14:36 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Oh, okay. | 14:36 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Which version of Ubuntu do you have? | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | ChaosTheory: yes it is | 14:37 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: 7.1 | 14:37 |
| faintofhearts | Anyone know what switch I can use to launch mplayer without it giving me output of what it's doing? | 14:37 |

| darko | having problems with mysql, any help | 14:37 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Okay, do you have the little orange icon at the top? Near the rest of your icons? | 14:37 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: not that i see | 14:37 |
| cchild | marx2k, how would I add windows truecrypt drives to my fstab? | 14:38 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: found it! | 14:38 |
| sunbird | anyone have expertise getting an unrecognized internal bluetooth adapter to work? i know the adapter is supported because i had it working last week, but then did a reinstall and now ubuntu doesn't see the adapter. | 14:38 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: yep no need for a new version of coreutils shred is instaled by default ;) | 14:38 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: ok i extracted it i think | 14:38 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Great. | 14:38 |
| jaffarkelshac | that, i did not know erUSUL | 14:38 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: So it's on your Desktop? | 14:39 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: yes | 14:39 |
| marx2k | cchild: beats me :) look up 'truecrypt fstab' | 14:39 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Open up a terminal and do cd ~/Desktop | 14:39 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: and im in the desktop | 14:39 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: check | 14:39 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: everyday you learn something new... anyway no harm done afaics | 14:39 |
| marx2k | maybe you just add it as a normal ntfs drive? truecrypt may just be a wrapper layer | 14:39 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf | 14:39 |
| ubuhackaa | SurvivorMan: Ok, I replied. | 14:39 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: count not create permission denied | 14:40 |
| marx2k | !sudo | 14:40 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 14:40 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: precede with sudo, then. | 14:40 |
| jaffarkelshac | erUSUL, funny enough i do learn something each day with ubuntu. how would you uninstall something if you did install with (./configure make make install) | 14:40 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: ok installed | 14:40 |
| ries | Hey guys, do all ubunty desktop CD's contains the live version? | 14:40 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: modprobe ndiswrapper | 14:41 |
| iositd | ries, no, the alternate don't | 14:41 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobser: with sudo. =D | 14:41 |
| ries | a friend of mine want's to try it, but not without removing windows | 14:41 |
| === iositd is now known as hischild | ||
| LjL | jaffarkelshac: there is no universal way. that's why it's usually recommended that things are installed using APT. that said, "make uninstall" works with some makefiles. | 14:41 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: Hi? =D | 14:41 |
| sunbird | ries: set them up on the live cd. | 14:41 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: ok | 14:41 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Hi. | 14:41 |
| zerod | sup? | 14:41 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, good day | 14:41 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Any output? | 14:41 |
| Evil_Ed | sup | 14:41 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: no | 14:41 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Your command was ./sound .ch, yes? | 14:41 |
| ries | sunbird: so if I download and don't check 'alternate' then he is fine, right? | 14:41 |
| sunbird | ries: just don't use the alternate. | 14:41 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Check your connections again. | 14:41 |
| sunbird | ries: yup. | 14:41 |
| jaffarkelshac | gotcha LjL | 14:41 |
| ries | Ok.... great | 14:41 |
| Helix82 | Guys... in wat are the cases tht a applications can hang... i facing this problem with my gusty installed in Compaq v3000 | 14:41 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, it was ./sound.sh from the folder where you saved it. | 14:41 |
| Helix82 | simple application like firefox... i am not have this prob in my lenovo... | 14:41 |
| hischild | ries, yes | 14:41 |
| activeobserver | iwconfig says no extenstions :( | 14:42 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Right. Where did I say it? =D | 14:42 |
| ChaosTheory | iwconfig: Hm. | 14:42 |
| ChaosTheory | -__- | 14:42 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: ndiswrapper -l | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: i'm afraid that if the package does not provide an uninstall make target (so you can do «sudo make uninstall») you have to do it by hand... (removing the stuff with rm) | 14:42 |
| jaffarkelshac | so it aptitude a common way to install across all linux distributions? LjL erUSUL | 14:42 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, i gave you a link to a pastebin where i put the script. You copied it to a new script and made it executable, and then ran it. | 14:42 |
| hischild | jaffarkelshac, only for distro's that use the apt way. | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: to avoid this kind of trouble you can use checkinstall... | 14:42 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: bcmwl5 and net5416 installed | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | !info checkinstall | jaffarkelshac | 14:43 |
| ubotu | jaffarkelshac: Package checkinstall does not exist in gutsy | 14:43 |
| LjL | jaffarkelshac: no, APT was created for Debian. there are a few distributions that are Debian-derived (or that use APT anyway without being Debian-derived), but there are also many that use completely different packaging formats | 14:43 |
| Pici | jaffarkelshac: running a make uninstall for something like coreutils is probably not a good thing/ | 14:43 |
| LjL | erUSUL: !info is broken | 14:43 |
| LjL | !checkinstall | 14:43 |
| ubotu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 14:43 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: And when you right click on your connections you don't get wireless? | 14:43 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Are you on a direct connection right now? | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | LjL: still no joy with info ubotu command :( | 14:43 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: yes i am | 14:43 |
| rawb | would it be easier to upgrade to 8.04 LTS from 6.06 LTS or 7.10 (server editions)? or does it not matter? | 14:43 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: left click -> manual configuration? | 14:43 |
| LjL | !hardy > rawb (rawb, see the private message from Ubotu) | 14:43 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Okay, I have the sound .sh in gedit. | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | LjL: i see ;P thanks | 14:43 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Sorry. | 14:43 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: yes i am there there is no wireless in the box | 14:44 |
| hischild | what's the easy way to add files to a .iso without having to remaster the whole thing? | 14:44 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: wired and modem | 14:44 |
| Evil_Ed | I'll soon find out | 14:44 |
| jaffarkelshac | thanks for your help LjL Pici erUSUL | 14:44 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, ok, then save it and go in console to the folder you saved it. Then type chmod +x sound.sh and then run it. | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | jaffarkelshac: youre wellcome | 14:44 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: No output? | 14:45 |
| activeobserver | ChaosTheory: would you mind if i take a break and send you a message on AIM sometime in the future? | 14:45 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: One second. | 14:45 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: We can communicate through AIM, if you want. | 14:45 |
| lee__ | ? | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | hischild: most "easy" programs to modify isos will remaster it behind the scenes anyway iirc | 14:45 |
| ChaosTheory | activeobserver: Okay, no problem. | 14:45 |
| jaffarkelshac | is there a way to download all the contents of the current repository on to a cd for computers that does not have internet. | 14:45 |
| LjL | jaffarkelshac: there are a few | 14:46 |
| LjL | !aptoncd | 14:46 |
| ubotu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 14:46 |
| hischild | erUSUL, if it's an easy program to use then it's ok. I just am kind of lazy today and have to add a single file to an iso. | 14:46 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, chmod will give you no output. The script should give you a lot of output. | 14:46 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: How do I execute it? | 14:47 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, type ./sound | 14:47 |
| hischild | *./sound.sh | 14:47 |
| negge | everyone should go to http://ubuntuhcl.org/ and write a review for hardware that's not yet on the list | 14:47 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Oh, there was an extra space in there. | 14:47 |
| liu | #muxlim | 14:47 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild. -_- sorry. | 14:47 |
| negge | that way when a previous Windows user wants to try Ubuntu he can check his hardware | 14:47 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, use tab completion :-) | 14:47 |
| lxuser | hello, does anyone know how to mount an mtp with mtpfs? | 14:47 |
| LjL | hischild: i see "isomaster" | 14:48 |
| jaffarkelshac | you have been most helpful. LjL | 14:48 |
| erUSUL | hischild: acetone iso ?? | 14:48 |
| lxuser | im trying to get my sansa in playsforsure mode | 14:48 |
| faintofhearts | Anyone know a switch to block terminal output from mplayer? | 14:48 |
| hischild | erUSUL, LjL, let's have a look ... thanks | 14:48 |
| lxuser | i just dont know what the mtp mount point is since its not sdc1 like the regular disk mode is. | 14:48 |
| marx2k | are we able to interface with the Zune mp3 player yet? | 14:49 |
| hischild | faintofhearts, mplayer <file> > /dev/null | 14:49 |
| ubuhackaa | Thanks for all your help. Goodbye. | 14:49 |
| lxuser | i think the zune uses mtp too | 14:49 |
| JPRuskin | would anyone mind answering a quick question for a first time installer? | 14:49 |
| lxuser | there is something called mtfs that is supposed to let us modify them, but i cant figure out how to mount it. | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | !ask | JPRuskin | 14:50 |
| ubotu | JPRuskin: 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. :-) | 14:50 |
| lxuser | mtpfs rather | 14:50 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, Wow. A *lot* of output. =P | 14:50 |
| marx2k | So... is that a yes? | 14:50 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, that's what i said =) can you pastebin it all please? | 14:50 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: How do I know if it worked? | 14:50 |
| marx2k | !zune | 14:50 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about zune - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:50 |
| marx2k | :( | 14:50 |
| lxuser | marx2k, i dont own one, but i think so maybe | 14:50 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: One second. | 14:51 |
| lxuser | in other news did anyone see the update on amarok 2? | 14:51 |
| JPRuskin | sorry, okay, I'm trying to install the GRUB boot loader, it's had a lovely fatal error- is the LILO bootloader a substitute or am I in trouble/should research another way to boot. | 14:51 |
| linuxmonger | Is it okay to ask about asking to ask a question? | 14:51 |
| LjL | !ot | 14:51 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:51 |
| lxuser | it will have full support of the ipod store... again. | 14:51 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: I can't see all of it in terminal. . . | 14:51 |
| marx2k | I dont want an iPod and it seems Zune is the best bang for the buck, but as expected from MS, it has (or had issues) with liunx | 14:51 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, scroll up? | 14:51 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, otherwise just pastebin what you can see | 14:51 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: It doesn't show all of it. | 14:52 |
| Exteris | marx2k, there are quite some other ones | 14:52 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild: Okay. | 14:52 |
| lxuser | marx2k, it uses this weird file system called mtp i think, and it works... but its hard to get working | 14:52 |
| lxuser | it isnt really a file system | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | JPRuskin: lilo is substitute yes but it is an older less flexible desing... | 14:52 |
| faintofhearts | Thanks hischild. | 14:52 |
| daedra | does ubuntu have a c++ compiler? | 14:52 |
| lxuser | for lack of a better word, we'll just call it a "BLARG@!$" | 14:52 |
| marx2k | Exteris: I dunno..the Zune has some large storage capacity and is at a good price point.. can you name some others? | 14:52 |
| hischild | faintofhearts, > /dev/null pipes all normal output to /dev/null which basically is the black hole ... | 14:53 |
| marx2k | lxuser: I dont get why they cant just use ntfs | 14:53 |
| faintofhearts | All normal | 14:53 |
| LjL | daedra: GCC has a C compiler. | 14:53 |
| LjL | !compile > daedra (daedra, see the private message from Ubotu) | 14:53 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, http://pastebin.com/d757a8de | 14:53 |
| marx2k | so i can mount it just as an external drive and throw mp3s on it | 14:53 |
| LjL | err, C++ i meant. | 14:53 |
| lxuser | marx2k, because that would be too easy? | 14:53 |
| Exteris | marx2k, i'll search, there was one that looked promised | 14:53 |
| faintofhearts | What can I do to pipe errors there as well? | 14:53 |
| daedra | LjL: tanx | 14:53 |
| faintofhearts | I'm getting some errors, but they aren't important | 14:53 |
| Lamego | faintofhearts, 2>&1 | 14:53 |
| faintofhearts | ).0 | 14:53 |
| Lamego | or 2>/dev/null | 14:53 |
| JPRuskin | erUSUL: can I reattempt to install GRUB after the ubuntu installation (I assume so), and if so should I install LILO now as a way to boot ubuntu? | 14:53 |
| faintofhearts | That at the end of the command? | 14:53 |
| Lamego | faintofhearts, yes | 14:54 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, let's do it by hand then ... | 14:54 |
| fuo | hi* | 14:54 |
| ChaosTheory | iositd: What? | 14:54 |
| linuxmonger | marx2K: The iRivers are nice, and they do .ogg as well. | 14:54 |
| lxuser | one last time, does anyone know how to mount my mtp mp4 player with mtpfs? | 14:54 |
| fuo | what this command tell ? cp /tmp/root/* /mnt -a | 14:54 |
| Exteris | marx2k, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SanDisk_Sansa | 14:54 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, hischild ;-) and the compiling of your sound. | 14:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | JPRuskin: i can't imagine a situation where lilo would be better than grub | 14:54 |
| daedra | LjL: so, would GCC compile C++ aswell? | 14:54 |
| lxuser | exteris, do you know how to get the sansa to mount in mtp mode? | 14:54 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, =D | 14:55 |
| JPRuskin | IndyGunFreak: even if it wasn't installed/working? | 14:55 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, okay. I don't know what that means. Let's do it. =D | 14:55 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, do you think you can make any sense of this guide ==> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 14:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | JPRuskin: well reinstlal it | 14:55 |
| LjL | daedra, GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection, it compiles an awful lot of languages. and yes, it certainly does compile C++. | 14:55 |
| Exteris | lxuser, no, i don't have one, but i got recommendations of this one | 14:55 |
| marx2k | Exteris: the problem with those is the small storage capacities | 14:55 |
| fuo | what this command tell ? cp /tmp/root/* /mnt -a | 14:55 |
| fuo | hello | 14:55 |
| daedra | :D | 14:55 |
| JPRuskin | IndyGunFreak: have tried, same error. No help in the error! simply stating that it's failed. | 14:55 |
| Exteris | marx2k, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_portable_media_players | 14:55 |
| faintofhearts | Thanks. | 14:55 |
| marx2k | ahh | 14:55 |
| lxuser | exteris, its nice, but using the regular fat32 mode is quirky. It wont update your playlist some times. | 14:55 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, nope. =D | 14:55 |
| fuo | what this command tell ? cp /tmp/root/* /mnt -a | 14:56 |
| fuo | what this command tell ? cp /tmp/root/* /mnt -a | 14:56 |
| fuo | plz | 14:56 |
| FloodBot1 | fuo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:56 |
| fuo | plz | 14:56 |
| fuo | what this command tell ? cp /tmp/root/* /mnt -a | 14:56 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, lol ... ok well it requires a lot of reading .. | 14:56 |
| Exteris | marx2k, i use a zen stone here, i don't need a display, and it works well (fat) | 14:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | fuo: take a paxil, someone will respond if they know | 14:56 |
| daedra | fuo: it looks like it copies everything in /tmp/root into /mnt | 14:56 |
| === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca | ||
| lxuser | im thinking about buying a iriver | 14:56 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, just do as it tells you exactly and you'll be fine. I'll be here about one more hour to answer questions. | 14:56 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, okay. | 14:57 |
| marx2k | Exteris: Whats the storage capacity on that? | 14:57 |
| fuo | thx daedra a | 14:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | lxuser: which one? | 14:57 |
| fuo | why * ? | 14:57 |
| linuxmonger | fuo: it copies from /tmp/root/* to /mnt and does so as an archive (keeping permissions and such) | 14:57 |
| lxuser | indygunfreak, dunno, which do you recommend? | 14:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | lxuser: i just get ipods, thats why i asked..lol | 14:57 |
| Exteris | marx2k, 1gb on the simple version without display (40 euro here) | 14:57 |
| fuo | what tell "*" ? | 14:57 |
| fuo | what tell " * " ? | 14:57 |
| spiderfire | can i run off a usb thumb drive? | 14:57 |
| fuo | what that it mean in this command cp /tmp/root/* /mnt -a | 14:58 |
| lxuser | indygunfreak, i honestly just need a lot of storage with support for flac. a classic ipod would work for me but they break really fast. | 14:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | lxuser: supposedly, the microsoft players, work very well under Linux(lol) | 14:58 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, okay, the first step worked. | 14:58 |
| linuxmonger | fuo: The asterisk is a wildcard that means all files and folders | 14:58 |
| Exteris | fuo, it's a wildcard | 14:58 |
| lxuser | indygunfreak, yeah but they cost a pretty penny. | 14:58 |
| marx2k | Exteris: I take it minidisc recorders are still huge in Europe? | 14:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | lxuser: i see, well, i have a 30gig video, adn a 4gig nano both about a year old, and they work great. | 14:58 |
| thommiey | sdfgdfg | 14:58 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, how do I install my "kernel headers?" | 14:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | but i only use them for mp3 | 14:59 |
| Exteris | marx2k, minidisk? it's 1gb flash (like the ipod shuffle) | 14:59 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, use the command it gives you | 14:59 |
| fuo | ok thx linuxmongerand Exteris | 14:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | lxuser: well, i think i saw something where an iRiver works well under LInux | 14:59 |
| JPRuskin | IndyGunFreak: the entire ubuntu installation, or just... Ah! Dell Inspiron/similar laptops have that weird home button, with the media center thing? Would that be affecting this? | 14:59 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, it says install kernel headers twice. . . | 14:59 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, linux-headers-`uname -r` part of that commands is your kernel headers. | 14:59 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, okay, I did that. | 14:59 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, useful ... once is enough | 14:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | JPRuskin: i would say thats pretty unlikely | 14:59 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, oh, okay. | 15:00 |
| lxuser | indygunfreak, I just need a lot of room since flac files are huge. 30 gigs would be good if i could find it for under $250 | 15:00 |
| marx2k | Exteris: Yeah, but last time I was in europe, people were still using minidisc players a lot | 15:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | !grub | JPRuskin try following the instructios to reinstall grub. | 15:00 |
| ubotu | JPRuskin try following the instructios to reinstall grub.: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 15:00 |
| JPRuskin | IndyGunFreak: fair enough. | 15:00 |
| lxuser | anyway, im off to school peace | 15:00 |
| JPRuskin | IndyGunFreak: Thanks, and will try | 15:00 |
| Exteris | marx2k, minidisc is a small cd? if so, how many years ago? most ppl have ipods or other mp3 players | 15:01 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, which one is the newest driver? | 15:01 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/ | 15:01 |
| marx2k | yeah it's like a small CD...rewritable, 1GB each... was about 3 years ago | 15:01 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, the one with the highest version number, i think 1.0.16rc1 | 15:02 |
| Exteris | marx2k, i've never seen one of those :P | 15:02 |
| Pici | !ot | 15:02 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:02 |
| marx2k | I love my minidisc player but it's a Sony recorder and Sony made sure that the only way you can write to it was via Sony software...and that Sony software ONLY works in Windows | 15:02 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, it seems like "File: alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2" is the highest one? | 15:02 |
| marx2k | Exteris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minidisk | 15:02 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, imo 1.0.16 is higher then 1.0.9 :-) look a bit up, it's between 0.2 and 0.1 | 15:03 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, okay. =D | 15:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | hischild: maybe, but mathematically, chaos is right | 15:03 |
| marx2k | Whats nice about minidiscs is it takes a LOT of shock to make them skip and their batteries last FOREVER (I can get 14+ hours out of one AA battery) | 15:03 |
| daedra | http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1206246593 | 15:04 |

| ChaosTheory | IndyGunFreak, HP dv6000? | 15:05 |
| hischild | IndyGunFreak, i know, but i know the way those files are organized. | 15:05 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, i prefer not to mix rc versions, so i'd stick with rc1. | 15:05 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, one of those files doesn't have a rc2 | 15:05 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, oh, okay. | 15:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | ChaosTheory: just curious, | 15:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | how exactly is your intelHDA device identified in lspci? | 15:05 |
| ChaosTheory | IndyGunFreak, HDA? | 15:06 |
| hischild | IndyGunFreak, updating alsa fixes not only intel sound. His sound isn't working thus i suggested the upgrade | 15:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | hischild: i know, i've got intel hda sound on my laptop, i've had to recompile alsa before, i'm just curious as to his device | 15:06 |
| Rampage | Hi, I'm having some trouble with the keyboard layout. It was working fine 2 hours ago and not sure what i did but the keys are all jumbled and i can't seem to restore the keyboard layout from the gui. Any ideas? | 15:06 |

| IndyGunFreak | ChaosTheory: open your terminal, and lspci, and see exactly what intel hDA device you have | 15:07 |
| ChaosTheory | genii: Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1) | 15:07 |

| ChaosTheory | hischild, I think that was "sudo make install," maybe. | 15:17 |
| pihhan | LL00: if you want to ping remote host, use ping6 -I eth0 fe80::21a:80ff:... | 15:17 |
| renatahon | quem esta ai? | 15:17 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, this might sound stupid ... but please remove the /usr/src/alsa* directories and then do it again ... it might be that 2 versions got switched through each other .. | 15:18 |
| Lamego | !br | renatahon | 15:18 |

| dinochopins | anyone know the replacement of camtasio studio over linux/ubuntu ? | 15:18 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, how? | 15:18 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, just move out of those directories? | 15:18 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, yes. | 15:18 |
| ConstyXIV | is there any way to swap the Ctrl and Alt keys? | 15:18 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, so just go back to home? | 15:18 |
| LL00 | thx pihhan | 15:18 |
| LL00 | it works | 15:18 |
| LjL | ConstyXIV: try "xkeycaps" | 15:18 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, mv /usr/src/alsa* ~/ should move them to home | 15:19 |
| pihhan | LL00: as more than one interfaces can have link-local address, you have to always specify which interface you mean | 15:19 |
| LjL | ConstyXIV: that won't work in text mode, though | 15:19 |
| cdecarlo | Hello, I'm having problems with my vpn connection (pptp) clobbering my dns or something along those lines, is there any help out there for me? | 15:19 |
| cchild | hischild, i have to ext3 formated drive, one has root (not using different partitions for /home, /boot/, etc) and the other is blank. Should i just copy all to the blank drive, encrypt the main hd and the copy back in the data? | 15:19 |
| LL00 | but with ipv4 you not need to specify the interface, right? | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | no help at all, i'd suggest giving up | 15:19 |
| hischild | cchild, you should be aware that your /boot has to be unencrypted, no matter what your setup is. | 15:19 |

| === Stephan_ is now known as asheron | ||
| Lamego | R-C-PC1, you boot , you should have a new boot entry | 15:20 |
| cdecarlo | Diet: try the alternate install | 15:21 |
| pihhan | LL00: correction: ubuntu gutsy does accept in ipv6 also %device format, so you can ping6 fe80::21a:80ff:fe49:c743%eth0 also | 15:21 |
| LL00 | oh | 15:21 |
| cchild | hischild, this is a new drive and the only data on it is the os, but i want it encrypted. | 15:21 |
| R-C-PC1 | Lamego I'll try that quickly thx | 15:21 |
| === Bacterio is now known as someone | ||
| LL00 | pihhan, right | 15:21 |
| LL00 | it works | 15:21 |
| someone | hey | 15:21 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, okay, I did that. | 15:22 |
| LL00 | so I can ssh ipv6%device ? | 15:22 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, now just run sudo make, sudo make install again? | 15:22 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, it says I'm still in the directory. | 15:22 |
| pihhan | dont know, i am not at place i can test it, never tried | 15:22 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, then follow the guide from the part of the copying. | 15:22 |
| LL00 | cool, it's works | 15:22 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, it only moved the 2 folders out. | 15:22 |
| cchild | hischild, can i use truecrypt to encrypt and active home directory? | 15:22 |
| someone | k koño decis? | 15:22 |
| someone | FRIKIS | 15:22 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, oh. | 15:22 |
| hischild | cchild, you can't encrypt something active. | 15:22 |
| pihhan | LL00: i use at home 2000::/3 prefix, so i never needed that | 15:22 |
| someone | k frikis tio nose ni de k ablais | 15:23 |
| cchild | hischild, so it must all be formatted? | 15:23 |
| LL00 | fe80::20c:29ff:fef7:662e%eth0 | 15:23 |
| hischild | cchild, you can't format an active (is mounted) drive | 15:23 |
| LL00 | you can use CIRD for the adress? | 15:23 |
| pihhan | LL00: dont know what CIRD means, sorry | 15:24 |
| LL00 | the /bit | 15:24 |
| cdecarlo | Hello, I'm having problems with my vpn connection (pptp) clobbering my dns or something along those lines, is there any help out there for me? | 15:24 |
| cchild | hischild, no i understand i cant format active drive, i meant truecrypt must format a drive to encrypt it | 15:24 |
| hischild | cchild, yes | 15:24 |
| LL00 | so now about ubuntu I need to get firewall for ipv6 for security? | 15:25 |
| pihhan | LL00: do you mean classless prefixes like ffe2::1/64? there are none others, but you dont need it for unicast packet, only for configuration | 15:25 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, http://pastebin.com/d2c44d60c | 15:25 |
| LL00 | yes | 15:25 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, after I did that I ran "compile and install alsa-driver" again | 15:25 |
| LL00 | thx pihhan for your help | 15:25 |
| LL00 | I need to go now | 15:25 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, after moving the directories. | 15:26 |
| pihhan | LL00: dont know, i consider good password in my ssh and no insecure services is enough yet | 15:26 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, I mean folders. I don't know. -_- | 15:26 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, folders and directories are basically the same ... | 15:27 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, i'm sorry, but i'm lost then :( | 15:27 |

| manguy | where is the default mysql socket on ubuntu? | 15:28 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, oh. =\ | 15:28 |
| ChaosTheory | hischild, all three files are rc1. | 15:28 |
| balthazarguy | Can anyone tell me how to make the programs I run in wine 1024X768? Even when I start up just Wine itself it's set at a small resolution. | 15:28 |
| hischild | ChaosTheory, yes ... i've used the same files more then once and they succeed for me ... | 15:28 |
| pihhan | alkizz: check if your /etc/network/interfaces have auto eth0 (or replace eth0 for interface you want) in it and not commented out (no # before it). | 15:29 |
| pihhan | alkizz: if you have configured interface using gui, you might report it as bug on launchpad | 15:29 |
| genii | manguy: If you mean what port it operates on, normally 3306 | 15:29 |
| alkizz | yea, i saw that bug a while bacl | 15:30 |
| alkizz | back | 15:30 |
| manguy | genii: i meant where is mysql.sock actually, can't seem to find it | 15:30 |
| manguy | though it would be /tmp/mysql.sock | 15:30 |
| alkizz | ok.. so do auto iface eth0 inet static | 15:30 |

| happy-sufferer | My computer had Ubuntu 7.04 Gnome intially, but to get something working, I had to try out Xubuntu 8.04 Beta install. But now I have fixed the problem I faced and would like to remove Xubuntu completely. When I had Xubuntu 8.04 installed, I chose the "guided partitioning", wherein Xubuntu was put on a separate partition on the hard drive, without touching the Ubuntu 7.10 files.

| happy-sufferer | my question therefore is: how can i delete xubuntu desktop AND xubuntu partition? | 16:03 |
| happy-sufferer | c0ldfusion: is that the best way? | 16:03 |
| Lamego | if you delete a partition, you delete everything on it | 16:03 |
| bod_ | happy-sufferer, probably the easiest way | 16:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | definitely the easiest way | 16:03 |
| c0ldfusion | gparted has a nice livecd | 16:03 |
| happy-sufferer | Lamego: perfect. so what's the official way of removing Xubuntu partition (and everything that Xubuntu 8.04 beta cd installed)? | 16:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | i like partedmagic, but both are good. | 16:04 |
| c0ldfusion | you can delete the partition and resize your old. | 16:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | partedmagic has a nicer GUI. | 16:04 |
| Lamego | happy-sufferer, deleting the partition ? | 16:04 |
| happy-sufferer | c0ldfusion: i'm a newbie | 16:04 |
| nikrud | happy-sufferer you mean, you want to completely do a fresh install then? | 16:04 |
| c0ldfusion | happy: me too | 16:04 |
| c0ldfusion | I never tried partedmagic | 16:04 |
| Lamego | happy-sufferer, if you are a newbie, you shouldn't install beta releases in the first place :P | 16:04 |
| happy-sufferer | Lamego: yes, i want to delete xubuntu partition/ xubunu desktop and have ubuntu have all my hard drive again (currently, they share something like 50 50. | 16:04 |

| bod_ | oole=google | 16:05 |
| c0ldfusion | happy; then you def want a partition editor | 16:05 |
| Lamego | happy-sufferer, grab an ubuntu live cd, run the partition editor, and zap | 16:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | happy-sufferer: how old is your ubuntu install? | 16:05 |
| endo | bod_: thank you brother | 16:05 |

| happy-sufferer | nikrud, no, i do NOT want to do a fresh install. On my comp now, i have a Ubuntu 7.10 partition and a Xubuntu 8.04 partition. I installed xubuntu 8.04 today, but now want to delete xubuntu partitiotn completely, so that all i'm left with is Ubuntu 7.10 only. | 16:06 |

| nikrud | c0ldfusion I always work reverse alphabetically ;) | 16:07 |
| c0ldfusion | lol | 16:07 |
| Who_ | bod_: Is it as easy as it seems - get alternate install cd, boot from CDRom, just choose not to do the bootloader? Will I think be able to boot by holding alt at startup? | 16:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Adantan_Alex: of course | 16:08 |

| clouder`grr | magnetron: no same deal | 16:09 |
| Lamego | if it is not, you need to install gparted | 16:09 |
| Who_ | bod_: Macs use EFI - I believe (though I haven't checked - I know in the OpenFirmware PowerPC Days it worked) you could boot from any disk by holding alt whie booting and then selecting the volume | 16:09 |
| Lamego | from synaptic | 16:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | happy-sufferer: its only there if youv'e insalled gparted | 16:09 |
| happy-sufferer | magnetron: and gparted is on Ubuntu 7.10? | 16:09 |
| magnetron | clouder`grr: then it's DNS problems for sure | 16:09 |
| clouder`grr | dns means I should look where? | 16:09 |
| happy-sufferer | IndyGunFreak: i understnad now | 16:09 |
| magnetron | happy-sufferer: maybe you need to install it yourself with synaptic | 16:10 |
| happy-sufferer | ok. I'll go back to 7.10 now and install gparted. | 16:10 |
| Lamego | also, you should update-grub to point to your menu.lst | 16:10 |
| happy-sufferer | thanks friends | 16:10 |
| bod_ | Who_, you can use the bios's hard drive os loader yes, but if there is 2 os's on 1 hard drive i think there may be problems | 16:10 |
| Lamego | after removing the partition, run sudo update-grub | 16:10 |

| recon | Who_: i'm on gutsy, and yeah, can't enable desktop effects. | 16:16 |
| Who_ | bod_: close... I guess the easiest way to explain is this: Image I don't want to TOUCH the current hard disk - but I don want to be able to boot Ubuntu - I have a USB2.0 external disk, and I want to use that for Ubuntu. Mac's bioses support booting from any disk plugged in at start up, so I don't think I need GRUB on the hard disk that boots by default. From what you've said I think I will need GRUB SOmewhere, but not on the main disk | 16:16 |

| Who_ | Lamego: Target = the one I'm installing Ubuntu on - right | 16:17 |
| recon | Who_: what? i meant mono as in audio. | 16:17 |
| Lamego | yes | 16:18 |
| xpoint | clouder`grr, might be that local dhcp server does not announce 192.168.2.1 as dns server any longer | 16:18 |
| Who_ | bod_: I will do something like that but that doesn't involve any unsrewing (warrantys are nice ;) | 16:18 |
| bod_ | Who_, removin a hard drive doesnt void any warrenies afaik | 16:18 |
| bod_ | warrenties | 16:18 |
| Who_ | bod_: I think I need to undo a 'void warranty' stickered screw to get far enough. Perhaps not | 16:19 |
| bod_ | Who_, or just disconnect the ide/sata cable from the hard drive (no screws) | 16:19 |

| Who_ | bod_: Can you not specify the disk to install to anymore? And I don't mind if GRUB sees other OSses - I can fix menu.list later -surely? | 16:22 |
| Who_ | recon: Ohhh! I thought you meant colour! | 16:23 |
| bod_ | Who_, yes u can fix menu.list (but u avoided that area when i mentioned it) yes u speify which disk, but rub checks all devices for other os's then adds it to its menu'list and makes itself the primary boot loader | 16:23 |
| bod_ | rub=grub | 16:23 |

| adrock358 | I had vista / ubuntu dual boot, and i expanded my partition in vista (without backing up). for some reason after, I couldn't boot my system. I tried hiren, and all sorts of mbr tools, and have resorted to grabbing the data, and reinstalling both os's. Right now I'm on Ubuntu Live CD, and I have mounted my partition from vista. I could move the info from it to a secondary hd, but that is kind of a pain in @#$! So, I am wondering, with my existing part | 16:48 |
| adrock358 | I mean i have two paritions, one that has a dead vista, and the other which is free space | 16:48 |
| Killab33z | how big is ubuntu? | 16:49 |
| bazhang | adrock358: you going to reinstall vista; if so might want to do that first | 16:49 |

| PriceChild | Killab33z: one | 16:50 |
| adrock358 | bazhang. yeah, you're right but I think I want to try it this way first. then I can just move the data over in one fell swoop. Is that possible though? I might not reinstall Vista I'm thinking. | 16:50 |
| adrock358 | c0ldfusion. No. | 16:51 |
| PriceChild | Killab33z: there are different types though, the desktop installs via a live session, the alternate by text, the server install cd has no gui apps, but more server technologies on | 16:51 |

| Woxdee | Could anyone kindly recommend what I should use if I want to set up an e-library? It will server a substantial number of files and I'd prefer it with a web interface with indexing, search and such relevant capabilities. An Apache mod or something? | 16:52 |

| adrock358 | c0ldfusion. what I am trying to do is...leave my dead existing vista parition, then reinstall ubuntu on my other partition, then swap the info. But the other partition won't show up in the ubuntu instasller partitioner thing. | 16:52 |
| c0ldfusion | adrock358: well you only have one partition | 16:53 |

| adrock358 | c0ldfusion. what do you mean? i have two partitions. One that has vista, and one that has been formatted. | 16:54 |

| reaktae | Lamego: I still get that "E: Invalid operation buildep". I'm 100% sure that I have that installed though... would a reboot help? i know - dumb... | 16:54 |
| CShadowRun | is there anything like a perform on start for ubuntu (Preferably before login, need to run xmodmap for the keyboard layout.)? | 16:54 |
| c0ldfusion | adrock358: formatted as what? The easiest thing to do is delete that second partition | 16:54 |
| Keigo-kun | I need help fixing ncurses so UTF8 works in it | 16:54 |
| Woxdee | Lamego: But a doc management system would perform all the required functions? | 16:54 |
| c0ldfusion | adrock358: and then install using the largest continuous free space | 16:54 |

| Lamego | Woxdee, that is the purpose of a doc management system, you need to search for one with all the functions you require | 16:55 |

| CShadowRun | marx2k ok | 16:56 |

| Lamego | if you need to change configure options, check debian/rules | 17:02 |
| Killab33z | bazhang: tried that too | 17:03 |
| bazhang | Killab33z: how about the alternate cd; given that a shot yet | 17:03 |
| Sinnerman | i've got vmware server set up. if i create a VM on the partition housing my root filesystem, the VM works, however, if i create a VM on an ntfs partition on the same disk, it just will not run, anybody know why? | 17:03 |

| Klavier | there is no any device link in /dev | 17:03 |
| bazhang | Sinnerman: what error do you get please specify | 17:03 |
| Klavier | directory | 17:03 |
| Killab33z | bazhang: never heard of alternate cd? | 17:03 |
| Klavier | like eth0 how can find eth0 path? | 17:04 |
| Who_ | any wubi experts around? | 17:04 |
| MattzAtRapture | I accidentally reformatted a partition and am trying to recover it. I managed to recover a list of superblock locations from the HDD, can these be used to restore it to it's old stateor is my data gone forever | 17:04 |
| bazhang | Killab33z: that is the text based installer sometimes does it when the livecd chokes | 17:04 |
| Sinnerman | bazhang: i don't actually get any error message, instead of it displaying the POST, i just get a black screen for about a second or two. | 17:04 |

| reaktae | Lamego: now i get this> Requested 'pixman-1 >= 0.9.5' but version of Pixman is 0.9.4. I already tried looking for it but once again... no idea :( | 17:04 |
| bazhang | Sinnerman: why on the root filesystem? my vm's are in my home dir | 17:05 |
| Who_ | MattzAtRapture: a utility called testdisk is good | 17:05 |
| MattzAtRapture | yeah | 17:05 |
| MattzAtRapture | that's how i got the superblocks out | 17:05 |
| Sinnerman | bazhang: i think it has something to do with access rights, because if i create a VM with the exact same settings on the root filesystem within my home directory, it works fine; having said that, the files on the ntfs partition all belong to root:plugdev, and my current user belongs to plugdev. | 17:05 |
| bazhang | Sinnerman: sounds like a permissions issue to be honest | 17:05 |
| Killab33z | bazhang: got a link for the alternate cd? | 17:05 |
| bazhang | Killab33z: hang on a sec | 17:05 |
| Oli`` | Is there a process for requesting a package is updated to its latest version? | 17:06 |
| Who_ | MattzAtRapture: well, I can only direct you to their manual - don't know anymore - just used PhotRec the other day and it worked well.... sorry | 17:06 |
| nikrud | Goose1984 try, in the file manager, edit preferences, media tab, brows media when inserted | 17:06 |
| Sinnerman | bazhang: yes, it does, but i can't figure out why it wont work because the user belongs to the group that owns the files on the ntfs partition. :( | 17:06 |
| MattzAtRapture | ok then, i'lll keep plugging away with that app. thanks | 17:06 |
| Sinnerman | bazhang: and plugdev has full read/write/execute access. | 17:06 |
| MattzAtRapture | if you have any more ideas, i'll be idling | 17:06 |
| Survivorman | Killab33z, go to the download page | 17:06 |
| Survivorman | Killab33z, there is a check option to download a alternate option | 17:06 |
| Who_ | MattzAtRapture: Just one thought: make a complete copy of the device using dd so if you modify anything now you still have an image | 17:06 |
| Stroganoff | how can i find out, which programs depend on a given package? | 17:06 |
| nikrud | Sinnerman is the ntfs partition noexec (not sure if it matters, but ...) | 17:07 |
| Survivorman | Killab33z, http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download | 17:07 |
| Sinnerman | bazhang: besides which, it makes no sense, as vmware creates the files on ntfs... so how come it won't access them to boot the VM? | 17:07 |
| MattzAtRapture | good plan, thanks | 17:07 |

| Lamego | reaktae, you are using the source from a newer xorg source for sure | 17:08 |
| MattzAtRapture | ah | 17:08 |
| nikrud | Goose1984 then try system->prefs->removable drives and media, look for something equivalent | 17:08 |
| Lamego | do you have the deb-src entries on souces.lst for your current ubuntu version? | 17:08 |
| reaktae | Stroganoff: i beleive apt-get build-dep would help you too.... :) | 17:08 |

I can see the heron BG but can't move the mouse or get to VT1 with ctrl+alt+F1 - both of those _could_ be driver/keymap issues though.

| Adantan_Alex | lol | 17:23 |
| happy-sufferer | typoe: ok. i just don't want unnecesary stuff installed | 17:23 |

| jack_spratt | noob-africa: re iplayer, it seems to need realplayer installed - like I said about BBC and proprietary software | 17:32 |
| Didas | typoe, i had to follow a guide on the forums to edit a file to get it to work last time, dont know where it is now. | 17:32 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: but ive read for some that with firefox 3 it just works (iplayer that is) but not with 2 for some reason | 17:32 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: so make sure realplayer is installed, and if that doesnt work try using FF3 instead of 2 | 17:33 |
| noob-africa | am about to install realplayer | 17:33 |
| matti_ | any idea of what to do, when i try to start NvTv I get an error like this: Fatal: No supported video card found. I used the Envy installer to get the nvidia driver installed. any idea of how i can get it to "support" it? it works in XP | 17:33 |
| typoe | didas sorry you prolly need to find those intructions agin somewhere then, I dont know where other than trying various google searches or something | 17:33 |
| spiderfire | anyone done a custom livecd? is it supposed to say failed to read /proc, creating empty file? | 17:34 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: i stress that I dont endorse BBC, Realplayer, or proprietary software, and I dont use iplayer or BBC for those reasons, but if you want to thats your decision | 17:34 |

| ipx_laptop | I have 2 drives: 1 IDE, 1 SATA. Both have GRUB installed on them, but I only want to boot from the SATA-drive and remove grub from the IDE drive. Is this possible? | 17:36 |
| psyxious | Hello everyone, I am a college CS major, and im looking for a bit of guidance | 17:36 |
| ipx_laptop | When I have both harddrives in, it boots from IDE. When I remove the IDE-drive and insert only SATA, it boots from SATA correctly | 17:36 |
| noob-africa | jack_spratt: no... i did a direct download with firefox... should i use sudo apt-get instal realplayer? | 17:36 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: try http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/03/zimbabwe1 (video and more links on zimbabwe) | 17:37 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: dont you like using the gui? (synaptic/aptitute) | 17:37 |
| typoe | psyxious ask a question | 17:37 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa:im not sure the exact package name so maybe better to just do it in synaptic | 17:37 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: (get descriptions etc.) | 17:37 |
| noob-africa | jack_spratt: what's the command line for terminal for installing real player from the repos? | 17:37 |
| ipx_laptop | noob-africa: u can search by typing sudo apt-cache search *searchterm* | 17:38 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: possibly same as you wrote but with an extra 'l' on install :) | 17:38 |
| terminal | when i trying to install sql through terminal igot error could not found package | 17:38 |
| kindofabuzz | there is no realplayer on the repos | 17:38 |

| Raybrig | Hello, would anyone who is good with lilo, like to spare me a minute please ? feel free to PM | 17:39 |

| psyxious | pardon my english, im from puerto rico. Step 1. check | 17:40 |
| kindofabuzz | noob-africa: ./realplayergold10.bin | 17:40 |
| terminal | when i trying to install sql through terminal igot error could not found package | 17:40 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: well it should just run if it is correct for your OS, make it executabel by changing its properties (right click, permissions I think) | 17:40 |
| _Fallen | terminal: try mysql-server | 17:41 |
| balle | how do i get my labtop with gutsy to play audio through the soundcard and minijack | 17:41 |
| noob-africa | do i put it in its own folder? | 17:41 |
| noob-africa | i guess | 17:41 |
| jack_spratt | noob-africa: then just double click it, but its better to install from repos | 17:41 |
| kindofabuzz | jack_spratt: realplayer is not in the repos | 17:41 |
| typoe | psyxious download install file | 17:41 |
| bod_ | noob-africa, if its the realpayer gold linux version its rubbish and ive never been able to get the windows version to play through wine,.,. but if you do manage it, let me know plz | 17:41 |
| Raybrig | Hello, would anyone who is good with lilo, like to spare me a minute please ? feel free to PM. Basically, i have a lilo.conf written which i have installed, and is the current "live" lilo on the boot drive, but when i reboot, it comes up with a kernel which i have not listed in the config at all. | 17:41 |
| jack_spratt | kindofabuzz: lol, ok, because its proprietary? | 17:42 |
| kindofabuzz | noob-africa: just use mplayer, covers almost anything | 17:42 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah | 17:42 |
| _Fallen | what happens if I install libc from hardy when having gutsy installed? | 17:42 |
| jack_spratt | kindofabuzz: not even in any of the other 'sections'? | 17:42 |
| psyxious | typoe: which? what do you mean?, i already have ubuntu running real nice | 17:42 |
| kindofabuzz | jack_spratt: i did a apt-cache search realplayer and nothing shows up | 17:42 |
| Pici | _Fallen: You have the potential to break every single application | 17:42 |
| code_kill | has anyone set up webcam for their system? | 17:42 |
| Pici | _Fallen: I highly reccomend NOT doing it. | 17:42 |

| fuhreal_ | when i use apt-get for fluxbox, why is it asking for the ubuntu cd instead of trying to use the repos? | 17:43 |

| noob-africa | didnt u suggest i use mplayer@kindofabuzz? | 17:44 |
| bod_ | !who | Adantan_Alex then can i suggest this ;~) | 17:45 |
| kiuq | how my drivers can be NTFS AGAIN? i mean delete the ubuntu | 17:45 |

| Adantan_Alex | bye all | 17:45 |
| kindofabuzz | noob-africa: yeah because it covers realplayer stuff and i thought what you wanted to listen to was rp format | 17:45 |
| kindofabuzz | i don't know how to add a radio station though | 17:45 |
| typoe | psyxious depends what package(s) you are interested in, there is a list at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 17:45 |

| balle | gotta go to the addic, secs.. | 17:46 |

| bazhang | dalek_: what does lspci say about that card (just one line) | 17:51 |

| fuhreal_ | is it normal for gnome to use 80%+ available ram? | 17:52 |
| mark__ | can I have compiz fusion with Fluxbox? | 17:52 |
| eipipuz | the message says "or specify an explicit ServerName". I do have one. I have tried to with other names, with localhost, it doesn't seem to read that line | 17:52 |
| crdlb | mark__: compiz and fluxbox are both window managers | 17:52 |
| Who_ | fuhreal: Gnome- or the whole system | 17:52 |
| plurt | fuhreal_: depends on how much ram you have :) | 17:52 |
| b4l74z4r | does xchat use the same font renderer as other ubuntu apps? | 17:52 |
| crdlb | you can only have on window manager | 17:52 |
| fuhreal_ | plurt: 753 | 17:53 |
| cyclonuts | hey folks, I am installing something from source, and by defaults it puts it's binaries in /usr/local/bin. I want them in /usr/bin. How can I change that? | 17:53 |

| thoreauputic | fuhreal: run free -m and look at the buffers/cache | 17:53 |

| genii | eipipuz: Compare the ip against a possible one in /etc/apache2/ports.conf or an entry of name ServerName x.x.x.x in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or against the result of ifconfig | 17:53 |

| erUSUL | b4l74z4r: yes afaik | 17:53 |

| b4l74z4r | ok | 17:53 |
| node357a | cyclonuts: ./configure --prefix=/usr | 17:53 |
| iositd | fuhreal_, it depends on what you understand as "use". Actively it will probably use less (i hardly use more then 300 ever), but it caches a lot. | 17:53 |
| Who_ | fuhreal: Linux tries to use a lot of the RAM to speed stuff up - it keeps a cache of things you might want soon/often | 17:54 |
| crdlb | cyclonuts: installing random software to /usr bad idea though | 17:54 |
| ddd_ | hi! | 17:54 |
| b4l74z4r | cause i have the fonts in xchat set at sans regular 10 and they somehow look different from the same fonts in other apps | 17:54 |
| crdlb | is a bad idea* | 17:54 |

| arashO|o | hi guise. how to stop iptabales? /etc/init.d/iptabales stop dos not works: it said: command not found | 17:57 |
| Who_ | fuhreal_: one useful tip is that if everything goes wrong and you hear the disk constantly thrashing and the computer is not responsive, you can push ctrl+alt+F1 to go to virtual terminal 1, login there and kill something like firefox that uses much memory | 17:58 |
| erUSUL | arashO|o: how did you enabled iptables? | 17:58 |

| TnS|Acu | Hello everyone. I've got a problem kind of weird with my mouse... When I move it, the pointer instead of going smoothly from point A to point B, makes 2 or 3 intermediate jumps... It feels like its lagging... I actually don't think it depends on the device itself since I’ve already tried a few and all behaved erratically... Anybody has a clue about what it could be and/or have experienced anything similar ?? Please let me know ^^ Thx a lot!! | 18:03 |
| te | i want to open X11 apps on my VPS | 18:03 |
| Nitro | a quick one. Is there any way to "refresh" the amount of storage on a disk? | 18:03 |
| thoreauputic | te: the X server runs locally - ssh -X won't work unless you have X running locally :) | 18:03 |
| erUSUL | Nitro: define "refresh" | 18:03 |
| MattzAtRapture | well i've still got to actually restore the hdd to the way it was once the data is all extracted but knowqing it can be saved is a huge weight off. thanks Who_ and everyone else | 18:04 |
| Nitro | erUSUL: well, term (and everything else) is saying that there's no space left on the drive. so I deleted some more. | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | Nitro: df -h | 18:04 |
| thoreauputic | te: that's why it's compalining about DISPLAY not being set | 18:04 |
| te | thoreauputic: how do i run it locally? | 18:04 |
| Nitro | thank you. | 18:04 |
| te | :X | 18:04 |
| thoreauputic | *complaining | 18:04 |
| te | sorry im a newb | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | Nitro: System>Admin>System Monitor | 18:04 |
| kohwj | has kernel 2.6.22-14-generic been patched for vmsplice()? | 18:04 |
| te | i dont want a whole desktop environment | 18:04 |
| te | i just want a basic x server | 18:05 |
| thoreauputic | te: umm - if you have awindow manager running, X is running | 18:05 |
| te | thoreauputic: this is weird because i can run Kate and other GUI apps from my command line | 18:05 |
| te | but when i ssh out to my VPS | 18:05 |
| te | it doesn't work | 18:05 |
| te | does X need to be running on my VPS | 18:05 |
| Nitro | erUSUL: it's still complaining about there being no space left. (oh, and yes I already knew how to check the amount of data) | 18:05 |
| te | is that what you're telling me | 18:05 |
| johannix | sound problem: as a result of having no sound i kept trying to setup my sound card and now have multiple devices listed for the same card. how can i safely get rid of all the incarnations? | 18:05 |

| Nitro | I'll try a restart then | 18:06 |
| te | sorry erUSUL. thoreauputic : basically i can run X apps locally, but the second i ssh out to my server and try to run xterm, it tells me xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0 | 18:06 |
| bazhang | kohwj: yes long ago | 18:06 |
| iositd | te, there are some things you need to consider. Did you enable X forwarding, did you add -X on connecting? | 18:06 |
| thoreauputic | te: then try for example startx /usr/bin/xterm | 18:07 |
| thoreauputic | te: or just xinit | 18:07 |
| jack_spratt | bah you try to help people and they run off | 18:07 |
| kohwj | bazhang: thanks | 18:07 |
| thoreauputic | then run ssh-X | 18:07 |
| thoreauputic | but without a window manager, your apps will just sit there | 18:07 |
| te | thoreauputic: iositd thanks ill that | 18:07 |
| iositd | jack_spratt, it's one of the risk you run when helping folks =) | 18:07 |
| jsanchez | algien abla español | 18:07 |
| te | iositd: how do i enable X forwarding, just by adding -X? | 18:07 |
| iositd | !es | jsanchez | 18:07 |
| ubotu | jsanchez: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 18:07 |
| iositd | te, on the server you have to edit the ssh server settings. | 18:08 |
| jsanchez | vale | 18:08 |
| thoreauputic | te: I run remote X over ssh all the time - you don't need special stuff: ssh -X Just Works if X is running | 18:08 |
| jack_spratt | iositd: its crazy how theres 1200 people in here and people with simple questions still cant seem to get answers | 18:08 |
| thoreauputic | te: on Ubuntu anyway | 18:08 |
| te | thoreauputic: d'oh! X isn't running it doesn't look like | 18:08 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: fell free to provide them | 18:08 |
| thoreauputic | te: Well then ssh -X won't work :) | 18:09 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, forwarding X has to be enabled on the server otherwise it'll refuse. | 18:09 |
| erUSUL | feel* | 18:09 |
| te | thoreauputic: in fact it doesn't look like X is installed on my remote box -- what is the most basic barebones install of X11 I can install with apt-get? | 18:09 |
| iositd | te, if it isn't running, start it from remote. | 18:09 |
| te | x11-common? something along those lines? | 18:09 |
| thoreauputic | iositd: yes, but on Ubuntu that is OK out of the box | 18:09 |
| kindofabuzz | te: you also have to make disallowtcp=false in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | 18:09 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, i see. | 18:09 |
| te | kindofabuzz: thanks ill change that | 18:09 |
| thoreauputic | iositd: if he's connecting to something else, then of course that is an issue | 18:09 |
| johannix | anyone know about sound settings. woule really appreciate some help with this. I've tried the forum, but haven't gotten any response. I just want to clear the settings for my sound card so I can have a new go at it... | 18:10 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, it seems he's connecting from ubuntu to something else. | 18:10 |
| thoreauputic | iositd: or if the admin disabled it etc. | 18:10 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: ive been trying, but i've never used ubuntu and generally my knowledge isnt great. However i ve jsut been addressing two people in pvt from here so some progress at least (though one left just as we were getting close) | 18:10 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, and the list goes on =) | 18:10 |
| thoreauputic | iositd: no, it seems he doesn't have X running locally :) | 18:10 |
| te | no i have X running locally | 18:10 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, he doesn't have it runnign remotely is what i'm assuming (he has to install it there) | 18:10 |
| thoreauputic | te: so what are you connecting to ? | 18:10 |
| te | im running andLinux which is basically ubuntu for windows VMware kind of deal | 18:10 |
| te | im connecting to an ubuntu VPS | 18:11 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, most VPS's i've come across are a barebone install with openssh-server | 18:11 |
| thoreauputic | iositd: OK :) I guess I missed that aspect, thanks. | 18:11 |
| iositd | thoreauputic, we all miss something sometime. That's why we're never alone here helping someone. | 18:12 |
| te | so if i have an xserver running locally, and i can run "kate &" and it will pop up just fine | 18:12 |
| te | why can't i run xterm from my server | 18:13 |
| iositd | te, it's an x program, like the name suggests. | 18:13 |
| kitche | te: do you have X installed? | 18:13 |
| iositd | te, and make that remotely. | 18:13 |
| insomninja | editing files on a terminal that thinks it's a 80x50 but is a ~40x25 is a pain =_= | 18:13 |
| te | as in, is X installed remotely? | 18:13 |
| te | x11-common is installed remotely. | 18:14 |
| thoreauputic | te: if the remote machine doesn't have x libraries etc it won't run | 18:14 |
| rwycuff | te:just use ssh it will give you same terminal that xterm gives you | 18:14 |
| bra1 | hi, does anybody know why my flash player on thing like you tube wont go full screen without jolting? | 18:14 |
| te | what do i need to get basic X functionality, i dont want to load 1000000 libraries | 18:14 |
| johannix | please...how can i clear my ALSA settings. I've got four versions for the same card | 18:14 |
| roland | hello all | 18:14 |
| te | rwycuff: i want to run other GUI apps, not xterm, this is just a test application to see if i can get -X working | 18:14 |
| kitche | te: xserver-xorg | 18:15 |
| te | kitche: thanks | 18:15 |
| iositd | can i set a speed limit on apt? | 18:15 |
| rwycuff | johannix:you will have to you will have to unload the alsa modules manually | 18:15 |
| plurt | anybody else have a www.%u.com problem with firefox? how do I fix this? | 18:15 |
| roland | could some1 help me out with unmounting/mounting my drives! i have 3 drives, one with Windows XP installed on it, and 2 other FAT32 drives... the windows xp drive and one of the fat drives, get mounted on startup! the thing is i wanna stop this! and just auto mount the 3d fat ALONE | 18:15 |
| stemount^ | hi all, is anyone encountering issues with http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com APT mirror? (speed issues) | 18:16 |
| kitche | plurt what is the problem exactly? | 18:16 |
| rwycuff | te: so id this server headless or something to where yuou cant just turn monitor on and go | 18:16 |
| johannix | rwycuff: any guidance on that? where to look...what to do... | 18:16 |
| plurt | kitche: when firefox opens a page of it's own, like after an upgrade or so, it uses www.%u.com as link | 18:16 |
| stemount^ | anyone encountering issues with speed with gb.archive.ubuntu.com /q me | 18:17 |
| te | rwycuff: yeah this is a headless server | 18:17 |
| rwycuff | johannix:there is always google but give me sec ill find sokmethign | 18:17 |
| kitche | plurt: might be due to how ubuntu's firefox is setup not sure though | 18:17 |
| johannix | rwycuff: thanks! | 18:17 |
| smithey93 | anyone any idea when me and many others are having problems with the ubuntu update mirror for the uk? | 18:17 |
| rwycuff | te:ok and are you trying to access it like this through linux workstation or is it a windows box | 18:17 |
| IdleOne | smithey93: they might be uploading to the server wait a bit and try again later | 18:18 |
| Sinnerman | why do i need a loopback device? can i just delete it? i mean lo. | 18:18 |
| smithey93 | its been like that for a few days IdleOne | 18:18 |
| IdleOne | smithey93: try using different servers. | 18:18 |
| bazhang | smithey93: try another mirror then | 18:18 |
| iositd | just to verify: 800 kilobits == 100KiB/s ? | 18:19 |
| smithey93 | just a second ill try changeing it to the global mirror | 18:19 |
| Unter_ | iositd: yes | 18:19 |
| === roland is now known as Roland | ||
| iositd | Sinnerman, don't delete it. It's needed for certain local programs. | 18:19 |
| Unter_ | 8 bits to a byte. | 18:19 |
| iositd | Unter_, thank you. | 18:19 |
| rwycuff | johannis:just lsmod find module and do modprobe -r adn then name and that would do it | 18:19 |
| Unter_ | 1024 bytes to a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes toa megabyte, etc.... | 18:19 |
| iositd | Unter_, attempting to find a decent solution to my networking problem :-) | 18:19 |
| te | rwycuff: windows box, but this is a Linux vm | 18:19 |
| Sinnerman | iositd: hmm er ok. | 18:20 |
| smithey93 | stemount - change your server on the config to ubuntu.virginmedia.com i just have and its pro | 18:20 |
| Unter_ | iositd: im a network guy -- whats your issue? | 18:20 |
| te | rwycuff: i can't run xinit on the remote box, it doesn't know where localhost:0.0 is | 18:20 |
| te | xhost + says the same thing | 18:20 |
| johannix | rwycuff: that would just unload it that one time right? | 18:20 |
| johannix | rwycuff: meaning. once the machine restarts it would go live again | 18:21 |
| iositd | Unter_, well it's fairly simple. I'm using a wireless connection that is shared with 5 other ppl (some wired, some wlan) and from 6 in the evening till midnight i want to limit traffic downstream to about 100kbps to prevent draining the entire connection so i planned to use wondershaper for it. | 18:21 |
| te | rwycuff: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. | 18:21 |

| Acxty | Hi, i have small problem. My computer don't have serial ports and I need them for a gprs modem. I buy a netmos pci serial card that has 1 parallel and 2 serial ports, I have been trying to make it work but it doesn't recognize anything may someone help me with that? | 18:22 |
| rwycuff | johannix,yes but thats the only way to do it that iknow of | 18:22 |
| bazhang | Acxty: sounds like a hardware issue | 18:22 |
| Unter_ | iositd: ah. | 18:23 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: you need to find out what chips it has and do a search on their linux compatibiltiy | 18:23 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: i would say | 18:23 |
| Unter_ | I haven't done a lot of linux traffic shaping/qos; im mainly a cisco guy :) | 18:23 |
| Acxty | bazhang, supposely it works under linux | 18:23 |
| johannix | rwycuff: hm. sound has been the toughest thing i've had to deal with on my machine. | 18:23 |
| johannix | go figure | 18:23 |
| gerrue | Hello, i am thinking of changing my OS to Uuntu, but can i still use software programs/games i have or do i need to get linux versions? | 18:23 |
| rwycuff | te:not sure if you doing it the way im thinking of or not but there is away and seems kida straight forward to do x11 tunneling through ssh ,but has to be done on system with xorg on it | 18:23 |
| iositd | Unter_, i'm goin to learn cisco stuff in about a month or so ... =) | 18:23 |
| Unter_ | cool. | 18:23 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: saus who? are you sure you have the same revision as they one thats supposed to work? | 18:23 |
| rwycuff | johannix waht sound card | 18:23 |
| erUSUL | gerrue: the later | 18:24 |
| jack_spratt | gerrue: you mean win apps and games? | 18:24 |
| johannix | rwycuff: SB Audigy LS | 18:24 |
| erUSUL | gerrue: althought some stuff my work in wine | 18:24 |
| Acxty | jack_spratt, I follow the installation guide on debian and it works fine, now I use the same card on ubuntu and there is wher the problem start | 18:24 |
| erUSUL | !wine | gerrue | 18:24 |
| ubotu | gerrue: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 18:24 |
| nixnoob | how can i see error messages that would cause my enitre machine to reboot? | 18:24 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: so you know how to install it in debain? | 18:24 |
| gerrue | thanks, erUSUL, where could i find linux software? | 18:24 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: check logs i guess | 18:24 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: /var/logs/ | 18:25 |
| Mattz | right, now that my data is being rescued, i can get back to my original purpose: I want to make a set of Debian floppy boot discs in order to resurrect a terminal laptop with no CDROM or USB booting capability. Which guide do folks recommend? | 18:25 |
| Acxty | jack_spratt, it works on there, but I change my computer from debian to ubuntu | 18:25 |
| bazhang | gerrue: in the software repos | 18:25 |
| smithey93 | i fixed my problem with slow update speeds - changed the server in software sources under sytem -> admin, so if anyone is having issues, just take a look on that and change it to if your in the uk ubuntu.virginmedia.com it works a charm | 18:25 |
| erUSUL | gerrue: ubuntu comes with apps that let you install software from withing the Os without the need to go searching the web | 18:25 |

| jack_spratt | Acxty: well if you know what to do in debian you can start troubleshooting the differences | 18:25 |
| genii | Mattz: Does the thing have an ethernet adapter? | 18:25 |
| nixnoob | jack_spratt, any particular log? | 18:25 |
| Acxty | had been trying and trying and nothing | 18:25 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: you know what drivers are required (if any) therefore | 18:25 |
| rwycuff | johannix :ahh yuor in luck thats my sound card at home too | 18:25 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: try messages file | 18:25 |
| Acxty | jack_spratt, no driver, on setserial command | 18:26 |
| rwycuff | johannix : whats it doing wrong | 18:26 |
| Acxty | *only | 18:26 |
| bazhang | Mattz: the machine is totally dead? will not boot at all? | 18:26 |
| Mattz | Yes and No. I've spent the last 6 weeks mucking about with it's PCMIA ethernet card, which I've come to the conclusion is approximately 3 million years old and cannot be used for a net boot. However it would work if I can get an OS running on it | 18:26 |
| johannix | rwycuff: sweet... besides driving me nuts. at this point I either have no sound or can play only through certain programs | 18:26 |
| bazhang | smithey93: thanks for the info | 18:26 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: are you using the same kernel in debian and ubuntu? | 18:26 |
| nixnoob | jack_spratt, all it says is restart exiting on signla 15 | 18:27 |
| Acxty | debian has an older one | 18:27 |
| johannix | rwycuff: i put up a lot of information on the forum... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=737323 | 18:27 |
| Acxty | both 2.6 | 18:27 |
| johannix | rwycuff: if that's any help | 18:27 |
| genii | Mattz: You can get a floppy disk image made at rom-o-matic site which will boot then will try netboot on adapters which do not have native PXE | 18:27 |
| Mattz | It can boot an ancient Xubuntu distrib that has for some reason a terminally broken networking system that refuses to cooperate. so best to start fresh | 18:27 |
| Mattz | genii: tried that in eveyr possible way. it doesn't work | 18:27 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: hmm im googling signal 15 | 18:27 |
| smithey93 | bazhang: no problem mate | 18:28 |
| meretricis | looking for some interested tricks and customizations.. any links available? | 18:28 |
| rwycuff | johannix: ok go play with the alsamixer siome and towards the end of the configs there is like a bunch with weaird names or numbers i cant remember its been so long but i had to mute them and one of the audigy output and then turn up the pcm and it worked | 18:28 |
| bazhang | meretricis: check out ubuntu tweaks | 18:28 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: you messed around with cron or similar at all? | 18:28 |
| Acxty | ubuntu 2.6.20-15-generic and debian 2.6.15-26 | 18:28 |
| Mattz | i'm not even sure the ethernet card works (as this laptop is the only way to test it) though I'm told the Wifi card we have for it works guaranteed | 18:28 |
| meretricis | thanks bazhang | 18:28 |
| sagredo | Hi, can someone help me see if my sound card is functioning? I cannot hear anything | 18:28 |
| genii | Mattz: There is also a debian boot floppy whic you can use to make a plip0 interface and use the parallel port with a laplink/crossover to network | 18:29 |
| nixnoob | jack_spratt, no i havent done anything yet i installed yesterday its fresh | 18:29 |
| Mattz | of course, you can't PXE on a wifi card, so it needs to be floppys | 18:29 |
| gerrue | Thanks all. | 18:29 |
| iositd | does anyone happen to use wondershaper with succes, as mine won't properly restrict network traffic. | 18:29 |
| jack_spratt | Acxty: hmm strange the newer one has the problems, if no drivers are needed presumably they are inbuilt to the kernel | 18:29 |

| meretricis | trying to make an application start in a specific workspace.. is 'devil's pie' the only option? | 18:31 |

| smithey93 | ah - i need to install a patch to my cd, thanks for the help ubotu | 18:31 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: you think it may be a temp problem? | 18:31 |
| johannix | rwycuff: i'm not sure what i'm looking for in lsmod. I don't see alsa or emu | 18:32 |
| nixnoob | jack_spratt, perhaps it just randomly restarted just now but i think it could be a temp problem because it also restarts if i try to run CSS in wine | 18:32 |

| genii | Mattz: I understand :) I've made some old 386 laptops into terminals | 18:34 |
| nixnoob | jack_spratt, thanks for your help | 18:34 |
| rwycuff | johannix: yeah give me second got lots of stuff going on but im looking through it | 18:34 |
| genii | Mattz: The cdrom works but just no boot capability from it? | 18:35 |
| sagredo | hi | 18:35 |
| sagredo | I'm trying to get my sound to sound | 18:35 |
| Mattz | no, there is no CDrom | 18:35 |
| sagredo | It is not right now | 18:35 |
| johannix | rwycuff: k. thanks | 18:35 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: np, sorry cant be more use, i got a similar problem with my laptop atm, jsut restarts completely randomly it seems with no way of determining whats doing it. | 18:35 |
| Mattz | genii: If it helps, it's a Toshiba Portege 3480CT with a USB floppy drive that inexplicably allows booting but not from the average USB key | 18:35 |
| iositd | Unter_, it would seem that wondershaper is the perfect tool for the job :-) | 18:36 |
| sagredo | How can I tell what Ubuntu is creting the sound from, ie. motherboard connection or sound card connection | 18:36 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: if you can be bothered you could do a memtest and CPU stresstest to make sure its not either of those | 18:36 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: its unlikely, but it rules out another possibility | 18:36 |

| bod_ | when reading 'man cp' there is 2 entries for -p one for 'never follow symbolic links' the other for 'remember permissions' if i use -p wil that invoke both triggers? and why is there duplicates of -p? | 18:37 |
| nixnoob | jack_spratt, its weird because all these parts are brand new i just built this system but it seems the cpu fan is quite loud all the time and now im begining to suspect some botching on my part | 18:37 |
| Didas | This is only a recent problem, but when i start up ubuntu, i normally have my hd partitions displayed on the desktop, so i can access my windows partion or my linux file system. its no longer showing up. and when i go to /media in command line, niether sda1 sda2, both partitions, are showing up as having anything in it. cant find anything on google about this. any ideas? | 18:37 |
| bod_ | Kate_mins, got a graphics card in it? (desktop, laptop?) | 18:37 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob | 18:37 |
| iositd | bazhang, it would appear that it was caused by a conflict with my version of iproute. I fixed it by slightly adjusting the wondershaper (which functions perfectly btw) | 18:37 |

| dalek_ | guys, I don't see the broadcom chipset in restriced drivers manager | 18:38 |
| Kate_mins | bod_: yes, its built-in card.. (desktop) | 18:38 |
| rwycuff | johannix:do you have onboard sound card too | 18:38 |
| jack_spratt | nixnoob: its undoubtedly nothing to worry about in your case, youll fix it soon no doubt | 18:38 |
| bod_ | Kate_mins, built in, so not removeable? | 18:38 |
| johannix | rwycuff: ya. i already disabled it | 18:38 |

| bod_ | i find ubuntu 64 really stable | 18:39 |
| bazhang | dotech how much ram for that? over 4GB then it may be worth otherwise not much diff | 18:39 |
| johannix | rwycuff: this was the reason i kinda wanted a clean start | 18:39 |
| dotech | 8gb | 18:39 |

| hischild | jake2point0, if you won't accept help when given, then don't bother asking. You might want to adjust your attitude as we're not doing this for money. | 18:50 |
| linkinxp | jake2point0, reinstall or install perl :D | 18:50 |
| bazhang | ;] | 18:50 |
| johannix | rwycuff: ah. so the entire problem could be that i'm using CA0106 instead of CMU10k1 | 18:50 |
| johannix | rwycuff: so did you manually install ALSA? | 18:51 |
| johannix | i could just go through that process again... | 18:51 |
| sikava | do i have to have downloading manager to speed up downloading process? | 18:51 |
| rwycuff | Johannix first time i did it yes i did install it that way and after that ubuntu worked with the card outta the box for me | 18:52 |
| node357a | Shadow420, I did that once by copying the SDL header files into the zsnes src/ directory | 18:52 |

| node357a | but I forget where to get them | 18:52 |
| mjay | Can anyone point me into the right direction to install a HP c7280 printer thats wireless??? | 18:52 |
| bazhang | sikava: downloading what? | 18:52 |
| Shadow420 | the 1.2 headers | 18:52 |
| sikava | softwares | 18:52 |
| node357a | yeah all the .h files from SDL | 18:52 |
| mrpockets | my CD drive won't give me my CD :( | 18:52 |
| Shadow420 | ok | 18:52 |
| mjay | punch it | 18:53 |
| mjay | =D | 18:53 |
| Scunizi | If I install Ubuntu on an external device (re: key, or drive) and then install Avast or AVG in that environment can I boot to it on a system and scan the internal Windows drives of a desktop/laptop for virus's? | 18:53 |
| hischild | mrpockets, try eject, and if it doesn't work, use sudo eject. | 18:54 |
| linkinxp | mjay, i installed one in a lan! i guest its not the same | 18:54 |
| hischild | mrpockets, only when not using the live cd. | 18:54 |
| mjay | it maybe the same | 18:54 |
| nixnoob | ok one of my sensors is reporting 127C why would that happen? | 18:54 |
| invalidsyntax | still no sound after pcm adjustment | 18:54 |
| Mattz | Scunizi: It would be easier just to make a Portableapps.com suite key and use ClamWin | 18:54 |
| mrpockets | unable to eject | 18:54 |
| linkinxp | mjay, i just browsed the lan and it was there the printer its plugged to a pc with windows i only ask me for a password and thats it :D | 18:54 |
| efirewick | invalidsyntax: what's the make and model? and what are you trying to hear? | 18:54 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: any reason not to install directly via usb to the target system? I carry around a usb stick with those apps on it | 18:54 |
| dalek_ | argh, why won't my bcm4328 wireless card showup under Restricted Devices manager | 18:55 |
| rwycuff | johannix:yes i have had to manually do it before | 18:55 |
| startherepodcast | mrpockets: there is usually a little hole in the front of your cd drive if you push a paperclip in there the tray should slide out | 18:56 |
| Scunizi | Mattz, bazhang I was thinking of that.. but I wanted to be able to boot to the device to isolate windows as a non-running system then scan for problems.. in the hopes of cleaning a win. drive | 18:56 |
| jake2point0 | welp.. i did a search in the synaptic manager for perl and like 200 packages showed up but not one said Perl. | 18:56 |
| Mattz | ah right | 18:56 |
| johannix | rwycuff: looking through the ALSA docs. Trying to figure ou why I used CA0106... | 18:56 |
| johannix | rwycuff: but ya, I think I'm gonna have to go through that again. | 18:56 |
| hischild | jake2point0, perl is in there. It's around the middle. | 18:56 |
| jake2point0 | hischild ok ill check it again... and ty | 18:57 |
| rwycuff | Johannix: and if the emu10k1 module is installed you should be able to do something like modprobe alsa_emu10k1 and that would work | 18:57 |
| jake2point0 | i mean thank you | 18:57 |
| Mattz | Scunizi: it would be easier to use a distro such as Damn Small Linux or Puppy I think, but there is no reason you couldn't put ubuntu on a portable HDD and boot from USB | 18:57 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: ah I see the dilemma; but whatever extra stuff that may get in can be fixed by getting new definitions while online for spybot, ad-aware, avg etc | 18:57 |
| der|kunstler | On my system, when I do System > Quit, my computer Hangs... any ideas ? | 18:58 |
| der|kunstler | Ubuntu 7.10, Gnome | 18:58 |
| Mattz | Though if it's NTFS formatted drives, it's a pain to read them from Ubuntu (to my knowledge), much less get a Wine Emulation that would manage it | 18:58 |
| johannix | rwycuff: thansk. i'm gonna give it a go... | 18:58 |
| Scunizi | bazhang, so what you're saying is use the portable apps on a usb key, boot to windows, load the appropriate app and update then scan? | 18:58 |
| rwycuff | johannix:that driver they had you use is most commonly used for realtek sound cards maybe if this was your onboard card it would wok but not for this | 18:58 |
| der|kunstler | I mean, I can kill gnome using CTRL+ALT+Backspace | 18:58 |

| x1250 | Hi guys, I have an ATI x1400 card + ubuntu hardy + direct rendering = compiz works ok. My problem is that scrolling is too slow for me, for example in firefox. Anyway to fix this? | 19:00 |
| bazhang | x1250: #ubuntu+1 please | 19:00 |
| linkinxp | x1250, mouse settings? | 19:00 |
| linkinxp | bazhang, :D | 19:00 |
| x1250 | this is not a hardy specific issue | 19:00 |
| Mattz | sigh,a kernel panic on the Debian install floppy. It's like the universe is working against me fixing this laptop | 19:00 |
| bazhang | x1250: that is the correct channel thanks | 19:00 |
| aoupi | hi, why don't I get any colors when I pipe ls? like 'ls -1' has colors but 'ls -1 | less' does not, neither does 'ls -1 | most' | 19:01 |
| hischild | x1250, actually, it's hardy specific. Compiz has had some major makeover and update. | 19:01 |
| Scunizi | bazhang, one of the benefits to running ubuntu from usb and isolating the other op.sys is so when scanning the commercial apps you mention don't interfere with the scan.. (trying to stay on-topic).. also what other tools are available in Ubuntu for fixing a windows install .. other than fdisk :) | 19:02 |
| x1250 | hischild: this happens also in gutsy, it is something related to the ati driver and compiz | 19:02 |
| invalidsyntax | got sound very low though | 19:02 |
| hischild | x1250, it might also happen in gutsy, yet it still is hardy specific as that is what you run. | 19:02 |
| Lamego | aoupi, if the output device is not a tty the color controls are ommited | 19:02 |
| invalidsyntax | got sound very low though | 19:03 |
| aoupi | Lamego: is there some environment variable I can set to change that? | 19:03 |
| soundray | aoupi: less can't deal with the ANSI escape codes used for colour. Try 'ls --color | less' to force them to stay in | 19:03 |
| efirewick | invalidsyntax: I hope that is a step in the right direction | 19:03 |
| invalidsyntax | yea but need more volume lol | 19:03 |
| aoupi | soundray: excelent, thanks | 19:03 |
| nixnoob | anyone know anything about hwmon? my temp3 is reporting 127C? | 19:03 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: gparted format partition to ext3 (just kidding)--your way of running ubuntu from usb seems good though you would somehow need to run those via wine I guess | 19:03 |
| Lamego | aoupi, don't think so, most utilities are not able to dearl with those chars | 19:03 |
| aoupi | Lamego: but at least now it gets throug, now I just have to find a pager that handles colors :) | 19:04 |
| Lamego | yuck :P | 19:04 |
| aoupi | Lamego: less -R did the trick :) | 19:04 |
| NICK-Z | grah brah. | 19:04 |
| Moppa^ | when i install netpbm via apt, where does the binarys go? | 19:05 |
| soundray | aoupi: just found that, too. Nice! | 19:05 |
| NICK-Z | anyone knows exact command to kill x server | 19:05 |
| Lamego | Moppa^, dpkg -L netpbm | 19:05 |
| invalidsyntax | wtf | 19:05 |
| Scunizi | bazhang, that brings up the question.. do the virus scanners available to ubuntu natively discover virus's designed for windows? or are the signatures used different in some way? | 19:05 |
| Unxuxu | Hi... Is it possible to backup my entire Ubuntu (including configs, desktop arrangement, etc...), rebuild my partiontions scheme and so... restore the backup data, without more setup moves? | 19:05 |

| Lamego | Scunizi, there are no virus for linux, the existing antivirus are for windows virus detection | 19:06 |
| jake2point0 | i guess Savage wont work in Gutsy only edgy. that sucks | 19:06 |

| Scunizi | Lamego, a file infected with a virus (windows) will have a specific signature.. however will the virus scanner running in Ubuntu also check a mounted windows partition INCluding the registry of that windows system? | 19:09 |

| mypapipu | hi | 19:10 |
| efirewick | invalidsyntax: If it worked the other day and you have not changed anything, (and it worked for a long time before that) then I would assume your sound card might be going bad... | 19:10 |

| invalidsyntax | ugh | 19:10 |
| efirewick | invalidsyntax: did you change anything, install, etc.... | 19:11 |
| Lamego | Scunizi, signatures are usually file based, I don't believe antivirus will do registry scanning, since that would required to manage the registry file without the windows api | 19:11 |
| soundray | Joelito: ah, difficult one. You need to look up the model name and stepping in cat /proc/cpuinfo and then find out from Intel's web site or Wikipedia | 19:11 |

| Lamego | Unxuxu, if you do a full backup, there is nothing to reconfigure, you just restore, well, if you do partition changes, you will need to adjust your /etc/fstab | 19:12 |

| Lamego | Unxuxu, same for your menu.lst if you change the root part | 19:13 |

| JohnnyHempseed | i tried doing it in windoze but it will only let me select NTFS | 19:20 |
| soundray | JohnnyHempseed: use mkdosfs -F32 (man mkdosfs) | 19:20 |
| mattan | just open it or "mount -a" or mount /etc/hda3" | 19:20 |
| soundray | JohnnyHempseed: you probably want to change the partition type in gparted then | 19:20 |
| CShadowRun | 128MB nVidia 6200 128MB will be fine for running compiz and being a basic chat/browsing/email/boring stuff... machine right? | 19:20 |

| |Dede| | I do not have sound when I start java applets (using Sun Java), can anybody help me please? | 19:49 |
| soundray | stefan__: oops, hold on | 19:49 |

| |Dede| | Andycasss: Do you mean lthe listen block? | 19:49 |
| gumby600m | "gunzip file.tar.gz" creates "file.tar", but deletes "file.tar.gz"... How do I force gunzip to keep "file.tar.gz"??? | 19:49 |
| Andycasss | |Dede|: Yes, but it needs ip too | 19:50 |
| cdecarlo | gumby600m: why would you want to keep it? | 19:50 |
| |Dede| | In the Ircserver config? | 19:50 |
| rwycuff | johannix:yes back to modprobe shouldnt have to install alsa again just the mod | 19:50 |
| |Dede| | Normally the listen block contains ports, I think | 19:50 |
| JohnnyHempseed | soundray the MBR was there the whole time | 19:50 |
| JohnnyHempseed | i dont know why it wasent working | 19:50 |
| JohnnyHempseed | its working now | 19:50 |
| stefan__ | rofl.. just trying to install ubuntu on a older computer.. seems the nvidia -drivers DONT work with a GF2 MX.. creepy. | 19:50 |
| soundray | Jowi: thanks -- stefan__: look into smartmontools -- it contains tools to read a drives error status as well as load testing utils. | 19:50 |
| |Dede| | gf 2? | 19:50 |
| gumby600m | cdecarlo: because it's part of a subversion repository and I always get missing links when it's no longer there. | 19:50 |
| |Dede| | that's ancient, stefan__ | 19:50 |
| soundray | !yay | JohnnyHempseed | 19:51 |
| ubotu | JohnnyHempseed: Glad you made it! :-) | 19:51 |

| |Dede| | I do not have sound when I start java applets (using Sun Java), can anybody help me please? | 19:51 |
| soundray | stefan__: you may need nvidia-glx-legacy | 19:51 |
| SkinnYPupp | stefan_: I think i ran into that before with a/b card version just being under the cutoff | 19:51 |
| JohnnyHempseed | soundray what was that one command you said for formatting sda6 to a fat32? | 19:51 |
| soundray | JohnnyHempseed: man mkdosfs | 19:52 |
| Andycasss | |Dede|: Ok, i just removed the "host" line, it listens on all ip-s now (192.168.1.xxx) and (127.0.0.1), but not on my public ip??? | 19:52 |
| stefan__ | kindofabuzz: hm the the lower half of the screen is pink.. excatly the lower half :) the rest is zigzag, but i can move the mousecursor perfetly in the upper half :P | 19:52 |
| cdecarlo | gumby600m: doesn't look like there is an option to keep the original .gz, have you tried tar -zxf filename.tar.gz | 19:52 |
| rwycuff | johannix: try this for emu10k1 setup http://alsa.opensrc.org/Emu10k1 | 19:52 |
| kindofabuzz | stefan__: you probably have the wrong drivers loaded. use legacy | 19:52 |
| |Dede| | Andy, is the server on you PC? | 19:52 |

| |Dede| | 127.0.0.1 | 19:53 |
| gumby600m | cdecarlo: Thanks. | 19:53 |
| soundray | stefan__: if you have graphics issues with the live CD, you should try the text-based installer. Private message from ubotu... | 19:53 |
| cdecarlo | gumby600m: no problem | 19:53 |
| stefan__ | htgul: ? what? | 19:53 |

| htgul | stefan__, I want to copy a folder into another folder, but not ctrl+c and ctrl+v in nautilus, but only with one click | 19:54 |
| soundray | htgul: you need to write a script that runs 'cp -r /source/folder /target/folder/' and call that script from a panel launcher | 19:55 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: did you install any packages for gstreamer? | 19:55 |
| Odd-rationale | puchacz: lsb_release -a | 19:55 |
| ChaosTheory | Jowi: Sound. | 19:55 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1: No, how do I do it? | 19:55 |
| |Dede| | If you want that everbody is able to join try using "*" instead | 19:55 |
| puchacz | Odd-rationale: thanks | 19:55 |
| stefan__ | htgul: hold down CTRl or something.. i bet there is a key | 19:55 |

| soundray | htgul: have you seen my suggestion? | 19:56 |
| puchacz | what's the difference between "full upgrade" and "version upgrade" on "adept manager"? | 19:56 |
| htgul | stefan__, I don't want drag and drop, I want one click and then it should be done | 19:56 |
| stefan__ | htgul: hold down CTRL, click onto the dir, drag it to the destination | 19:56 |
| Jowi | htgul, click and hold on the directory. drag to the destination folder. release button. | 19:56 |
| Jowi | htgul, ^^^ one click :) | 19:56 |
| CShadowRun | Ok, this is really weird. When i use compiz draw fire plugin, and draw a little fire on my screen, my system responds atleast 50% faster, if not more. If i scroll up and down in firefox without fire it scrolls the page in big one inch chunks, if i draw one tiny piece of fire, i can scroll up and down as fast as i can move the mouse without any tiny bit of lag. Whats up with that? | 19:57 |
| soundray | JohnnyHempseed: a typical mkdosfs invocation would be 'sudo mkdosfs -F32 -n VolumeName /dev/sdg9' | 19:57 |
| stefan__ | htgul: not possible by one click. a copy needs at least 2 parameters: file and target | 19:57 |

| |Dede| | I do not have sound when I start java applets (using Sun Java), can anybody help me please? | 19:57 |
| soundray | htgul: did you get my suggestion? | 19:57 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: goto system -> administrator -> synaptic pack -> search for gstream and check for install, then apply. | 19:57 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1: I just did that. | 19:57 |
| stefan__ | LinTux: gpg? | 19:57 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: and... | 19:57 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1: Nothing changed. | 19:57 |
| htgul | stefan__, Jowi But I the terminal I can do it by one line, can't I create a script containing cp /foo /bar and execute it via an panel-icon | 19:57 |
| cdecarlo | maybe htgul has a quantum computer that already knows where the folder should go because he's already done it in another dimension | 19:58 |
| JohnnyHempseed | so does -n give it a volume name so where it says "volumename" replace it with something like "partition 6" | 19:58 |
| Jowi | LinTux, "gpa" is a gpg keyring assistant. quite easy to use. | 19:58 |
| stefan__ | htgul: ah now i see. you want to copy the same dir to the same destination every time? | 19:58 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: where are you getting this error again? | 19:58 |
| soundray | htgul: HELLO? | 19:59 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1: I right click the speaker at the top --> open volume control. | 19:59 |
| prettyricky | Hey guys is there a reason why my ALT-F2 does not work? And is there anyway to enable that feature? | 19:59 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1: When I first clicked it, it said it didn't recognize a sound card or something. | 19:59 |
| stefan__ | prettyricky: nuder X youll need to use ctrl.alt.fX | 19:59 |
| stefan__ | .=+ | 19:59 |
| JohnnyHempseed | soundray sudo mkdosfs -F32 -n partition6 /dev/sda3 ? | 19:59 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: double click on the speaker icon | 20:00 |
| prettyricky | ? fx | 20:00 |
| cdecarlo | stefan__: I think that prettyricky is talking about alt-f2 launching the run dialog | 20:00 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, that gives me the "No GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 20:00 |
| StereoSkit | hi all, i just dist-upgraded hardy today and when asked for a boot i did it, now the system wont load, it halts at the busybox !!!!, any workaround for this ? | 20:00 |

| soundray | Troofy: if you want this permanently, you can add the variable setting to /etc/environment | 20:05 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, did that. | 20:05 |
| helit | do you speak french | 20:05 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, same thing. | 20:05 |
| htgul | soundray, Ok, finally I read your suggestion, sorry. But what should my skript contain? Only that line? | 20:05 |

| htgul | soundray, Ok, stefan__ answered | 20:05 |
| htgul | stefan__, Ok, thanks I'll try that | 20:06 |
| evand | dragon2: can you elaborate? What about it doesn't work? | 20:06 |
| puchacz | when I try this URL manually, the server responses. | 20:06 |
| soundray | Troofy: or just end the bash shell - export only works on the current shell session | 20:06 |
| JohnnyHempseed | dragon2 iv never used wubi | 20:06 |
| marios | hi mitsio | 20:06 |

| === nmd is now known as nmdd | ||
| dragon2 | JohnnyHempseed: xp | 20:06 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, any suggestions> | 20:06 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: I would try to re-install your volume control. go to applications - add/remove | 20:06 |
| JohnnyHempseed | oh | 20:06 |
| Ntemis | i have the bottom panel but i cannot see my opened applications in it! | 20:07 |
| JohnnyHempseed | so what happens when you try to open wubi? | 20:07 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, okay. | 20:07 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: then re-install, and reboot. | 20:07 |
| Troofy | soundray i think i have entered it in a file. i cant remeber where/. | 20:07 |
| soundray | Troofy: 'cd /etc ; grep http_proxy *' | 20:07 |
| dragon2 | it cannot find image file | 20:07 |
| evand | Yeah, that wouldn't work. It wont be able to find the CD. | 20:07 |
| Jowi | Ntemis, right click on the panel and add a window list to it. | 20:07 |
| Andycasss | Ive just made my irc server, but i dont have any idea how to get services running on it, such as nickserv. Could somone help me out? | 20:07 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: by the way what is the model pc your are using? | 20:07 |
| soundray | Troofy: or maybe you've added it to $HOME/.bashrc | 20:07 |
| Jowi | Ntemis, it might have been removed by mistake... | 20:07 |
| Troofy | soundray bash.bashrc:export http_proxy=http://192.168.3.3:8080/ | 20:07 |
| JohnnyHempseed | cant find what image file | 20:07 |
| JohnnyHempseed | does it say the name of the file | 20:08 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, HP dv6000. | 20:08 |
| Ntemis | jow1 | 20:08 |
| evand | as Wubi specifically looks for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu. | 20:08 |
| JohnnyHempseed | or does it just say 'cant find image file' | 20:08 |
| Pici | Andycasss: Perhaps looking for the irc channel for whatever ircd you are running is a good start | 20:08 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, it says I need to install through Synaptic, is that okay? | 20:08 |
| Ntemis | 1st i want to thank you for your help | 20:08 |
| Moduliz0r | Hi, how do I set up Ubuntu (7.10) to receive files on Bluetooth? | 20:08 |

| efirewic1 | bk1979: might be. | 20:11 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, volumeid | 20:11 |
| soundray | Troofy: to check what the variable is currently set to, do a 'echo $http_proxy' | 20:11 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, volumeid is green. | 20:11 |

| kium | thats why i want to explain it privatly guys | 20:19 |
| sagredo | Hey everyone | 20:19 |
| sagredo | Question | 20:19 |
| nikitis | Is there a Linux Download manager for HTTP downlaods that can control how much bandwith you use? | 20:19 |
| hischild | kium, very well. You can pm me if you want me to assist you. | 20:19 |
| esteth | nikitis: I think kget has that feature, allthough i am not sure | 20:19 |
| sagredo | In Ubuntu, how can I see what sound devices are connected/functioning with the system | 20:20 |
| hischild | nikitis, i've been thinking about that. Take a look at wondershaper. | 20:20 |
| esteth | sagredo: lsof /dev/snd/* at a terminal | 20:20 |
| efirewic1 | sagredo: if you open your volume control it will show you devices under "file" | 20:20 |
| genii | hunter__: cd ~/Desktop; tar -xvzf workver2.tar.gz ; cd workver; make;sudo make install;sudo depmod -a;sudo modprobe gspca | 20:20 |

| JPRuskin | randomly: if GRUB is definately not working, is it worth installing LILO or elilo and should I be more scared of them as opposed to GRUB? | 20:21 |
| sagredo | efirewic1: how can I launch a volume control window? | 20:21 |
| esteth | sagredo: Ignore my previous reply, i misunderstood your question. That command will tell you which apps are using sound | 20:21 |
| hischild | JPRuskin, there's no reason to be scared of a different bootloader then grub. They're not default, that's all. | 20:21 |
| sagredo | esteth: Thank you for your help :) | 20:21 |
| hischild | kium, you have to be registered to pm. Are you registered? | 20:21 |
| efirewic1 | ssagredo: esteth's suggest is better | 20:21 |
| hunter__ | let me try | 20:21 |
| kium | 1 sec | 20:22 |
| esteth | efirewic1: That command won't work, as i mentioned in a follow up | 20:22 |
| kium | i will register | 20:22 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: i guess not | 20:22 |
| efirewic1 | sorry | 20:22 |
| Anthony | From your guys' past experience, which is the most enjoyable GUI for Ubuntu? I am loving the default (I think it is GNOME right?) | 20:22 |
| Anthony | I wanted sort of an OSX feel | 20:22 |
| sagredo | I used alsamixer in terminal | 20:22 |
| TimothyP | Anthony: I like gnome because indeed it feels like OSX, but also because it's not bloated | 20:22 |
| Cyborg | hi | 20:22 |
| esteth | Anthony: Dzen + Dmenu + xmonad is what i like, but that sort of talk really belongs in the chat channel, not the support channel | 20:22 |
| TimothyP | and because it offers great API's and plug points for developers | 20:22 |
| sagredo | but all the channels appear to be audible | 20:22 |
| efirewic1 | esteth: good one, I just saw the command line and figured it would give more specific info... I should read more.. | 20:22 |
| Cyborg | how can i see my kubuntu version with a command ? | 20:22 |
| Anthony | esteth: How would I reach that? | 20:22 |
| sagredo | my speakers are not playing anything though | 20:23 |
| Pici | Cyborg: lsb_release -a | 20:23 |
| Cyborg | 10x | 20:23 |
| tj13820 | hello all, i have a Lacie 160gb Firewire HDD, i am trying to connect it with a 4 pin connecter, and power supply. It is my teachers, and it isn't working on the macs or windows at school, so i brought it to a linux distro | 20:23 |
| TimothyP | whereas KDE is rather bloated, not always stable and not as open to developers (unless you're a harcore C++ dev) | 20:23 |
| stefan__ | Anthony: have a look at gnome-look.org. using compiz and some themes you can get osx-feeling.. sorta :) | 20:23 |
| tj13820 | problem is, it won't mount or show on desktop | 20:23 |
| TimothyP | stefan_ , Anthony: yeah I got a complete mac os lookalike xfce desktop set up :p | 20:23 |
| tj13820 | how do i check to see if it is recognized as installed, or available in ubuntu | 20:23 |
| Anthony | TimothyP: Really? May I see a screen shot? | 20:23 |
| Anthony | Also, maybe some instructions on how to recreate it :D | 20:24 |
| TimothyP | I'll do better than that, I'll find the link to the guide I used | 20:24 |
| TimothyP | hang on | 20:24 |
| Anthony | Neat :] | 20:24 |
| sagredo | I have both a motherboard jack and a sound card. | 20:24 |
| esteth | Anthony: I've forgotten the name of the channel, it might be #ubuntu-lounge, i'll check the site | 20:24 |
| sagredo | I've tried both jacks | 20:24 |
| sagredo | and cannot get sound out of either | 20:24 |
| sagredo | What gives?! | 20:25 |
| esteth | efirewic1: No problem, it's an easy mistake to make in such a busy channel | 20:25 |
| Anthony | sagredo: Do you have your sound drivers? | 20:25 |
| sagredo | Anthony: I'm not sure | 20:25 |
| Pici | esteth, Anthony: #ubuntu-offtopic is the non-support channel. | 20:25 |
| Anthony | Do you know what sound card you have? | 20:25 |
| Anthony | Thanks Pici :] | 20:25 |
| sagredo | Anthony: Yes, but it has worked on past installs of Ubuntu | 20:25 |
| hunter__ | the last 2 commands din do anything ginii | 20:25 |
| TimothyP | this is the Vista version http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/ | 20:25 |
| sagredo | Anthony: It's the Sound Blaster Audigy | 20:25 |
| Anthony | Have you checked to make sure you dont have any silly mistakes? | 20:26 |
| TimothyP | and this is the leopard version: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44-part-2/ | 20:26 |
| Anthony | Suchas, muted volume. | 20:26 |
| esteth | sagredo: Perhaps the sound chanel has been muted. launch alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted | 20:26 |
| Anthony | Oh, very nice! | 20:26 |
| Anthony | Thank you TimothyP! | 20:26 |
| sagredo | esteth: did that | 20:26 |
| TimothyP | np :) | 20:26 |

| efirewic1 | sagredo: what devices show up for your sound in the volume app | 20:27 |
| efirewic1 | ? | 20:27 |
| TimothyP | CShadowRun what is the problem then? | 20:27 |
| hischild | JPRuskin, good :-) | 20:27 |
| hunter__ | gini the last two commands din do anything, | 20:27 |
| TimothyP | btw use a screencast tool :) | 20:28 |
| hunter__ | is that alright? | 20:28 |
| CShadowRun | as you see, no fire = massive lag | 20:28 |
| CShadowRun | switch a bit of fire on? everything runs fine | 20:28 |

| Anthony | Instead of using the GUI? | 20:31 |
| hunter__ | genii, sorry i am not able to send u pvt message, | 20:31 |
| esteth | Troofy: You could perhaps try to install a new version of wine using the ubuntu .deb from winehq | 20:31 |

| TimothyP | (been ages since I did that) | 20:32 |
| ChaosTheory | efirewic1, I've already reinstalled twice. | 20:32 |
| Troofy | Lamego no. | 20:32 |
| hischild | Anthony, go to the wine site, then select download, then ubuntu, and follow the onscreen instructions :-) | 20:32 |
| efirewic1 | chaostheory: really? are you doing anything that might cause problems? | 20:32 |
| Anthony | Nevermind, got it. | 20:32 |
| Troofy | esteth i just did. and it was working fine when i tried to change the paths where wine can ready a .exe | 20:32 |

| unocrash | Troofy: 21 days. You can download the beta. I'm running right now. | 20:45 |
| Survivorman | Troofy, just because I program is the latest does not mean it's the best or most stable. Getting into a distro requires some testing and fine tuning. | 20:45 |
| sami | amenado: I'm asking if there is such a sulution. To not having d-i to autocheck if sources.list is correct | 20:45 |
| Survivorman | *a | 20:45 |
| lionroar | hi - can i somehow run xdm inside xnest? do i need to use XDMCP on localhost for this? i know its an odd request | 20:45 |
| sculework | Stroganoff: appears to be kdm | 20:45 |

| dalek_ | ahhh I've been to that link | 20:46 |
| Troofy | unocrash is it going fine? | 20:46 |
| sculework | Stroganoff: gdm then, if you go to /proc/<pid of process>/ and the sudo cat stat you will get a better idea | 20:46 |
| sami | amenado: Then you might know the "power" of it, so to say. | 20:46 |
| Troofy | unocrash can you check that it has a inspircd app in the repos? | 20:46 |
| unocrash | Troofy: a few bugs. It's good. | 20:46 |
| jPratt | Ok is there any P2P's for Ubuntu? | 20:46 |
| efirewic1 | dalek_: and still no help? | 20:46 |

| Troofy | unocrash you mean you have observed some bugs? | 20:47 |
| Troofy | unocrash can you check that it has a inspircd app in the repos? | 20:48 |

| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Do you have the drivers bm4328? | 20:48 |
| dalek_ | yes I do chaos, and I donwloaded the latest windows driver for it | 20:48 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: What's wrong, then? | 20:48 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Go to the folder with the drivers. | 20:48 |
| dalek_ | I do the ndiswrapper commands and still no wireless shows up | 20:48 |
| unocrash | Troofy: Idk? what's the inspircd? | 20:48 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf | 20:48 |
| dalek_ | ok, I'm there | 20:48 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Then, do ndiswrapper -l to check that the driver is installed properly. | 20:49 |
| dalek_ | root@dalek-laptop:/driver/DRIVER_US# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl6.inf | 20:49 |
| dalek_ | driver bcmwl6 is already installed | 20:49 |
| Troofy | unicum is irc daemon like freenode uses hyperion. can you just check it out.? | 20:49 |

| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Check now. | 20:50 |
| unocrash | jaffarkelshac: What's your Ubuntu Version? | 20:50 |
| dalek_ | still only "Wirde Network" as an option | 20:50 |
| Starnestommy | Troofy: yes. You'll need to download it from their website and compile it from source if you want it | 20:50 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_, output of sudo modprobe ndiswrapper? | 20:50 |
| dwad | danand_: thanks, anywhere else? | 20:50 |
| dalek_ | there was no output | 20:50 |
| jaffarkelshac | hardy | 20:51 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Okay, that's good. | 20:51 |
| TimothyP | anybody here any good with upstart? | 20:51 |
| Troofy | Starnestommy i was told that it will be available in the next ubuntu release in repos | 20:51 |
| Dflamingo | I can't seem to use download torrents in ubuntu | 20:51 |
| danand_ | dwad - np ... and not that i know of ... | 20:51 |
| Dflamingo | all the ports are blocked | 20:51 |
| jadedoto | What card are you tring to get to work in hardy? | 20:51 |
| Starnestommy | Troofy: ask someone in #ubuntu+1 since that channel's the one for 8.04 | 20:51 |
| dalek_ | I read somewhere that my device being "UNCLAIMED" was bad | 20:51 |
| jadedoto | I had problems with mine and went back to gusty and it's working fine | 20:51 |
| dalek_ | I forgot the command that showed me that | 20:51 |
| Dflamingo | how do I open ports on ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: hm. | 20:52 |
| Troofy | Starnestommy k | 20:52 |
| dalek_ | lcw... | 20:52 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: I'm a total N00B, to be honest. | 20:52 |
| dalek_ | can't remember | 20:52 |
| Lamego | Dflamingo, you dont open ports, you run services, there is no firewall blocking ports on Ubuntu, by default | 20:52 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: What's your card again? | 20:52 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: I think you've got the wrong driver installed. | 20:52 |
| lionroar | hi - can i somehow run xdm inside xnest? do i need to use XDMCP on localhost for this? i know its an odd request | 20:52 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: I think it should be bcmwl5.inf, not bcmwl6.inf. | 20:52 |
| fxfitz | I'm using Ubuntu on a laptop, and whenever my laptop is idle for ten minutes (like when I'm watching a movie), the screen turns blank. I have turned off all my screensavers, but the problem persists. Can anyone help? | 20:52 |
| kindofabuzz | Dflamingo: open the ports on your router | 20:52 |
| efirewic1 | dalek_: run iwconfig. what is the card listed as? | 20:52 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek: It's Broadcom 4328, right? | 20:52 |
| Dflamingo | Lamego, I don't understand, when I try to download a torrent nothing works | 20:52 |
| dalek_ | iwconfig | 20:52 |
| Dflamingo | it doesn't download | 20:52 |
| dalek_ | oops | 20:52 |
| jadedoto | Hah! | 20:52 |
| jadedoto | I couldn't get the broadcom to work in hardy | 20:53 |
| dalek_ | doesn't even list it | 20:53 |
| jadedoto | but have you tried fwcutter? | 20:53 |
| dalek_ | chaos, correct | 20:53 |
| dalek_ | fwcutter didn't work either or I did it wrong | 20:53 |
| jadedoto | Strange | 20:53 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Okay, I want you to try the bcm4328 file. | 20:53 |
| Dflamingo | and it used to work fine on windows vista, problem only started when I converted to ubuntu | 20:53 |
| esteth | Dflamingo: try opening gnome-btdownload and opening the .torrent with it | 20:53 |
| Dflamingo | Okay. | 20:53 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Or is that the name of the file you used? | 20:53 |
| kindofabuzz | i gave up on getting broadcom to work in Hardy, went back to gutsy | 20:53 |
| danand_ | dalek_ - now that you have your kernel module installed perhaps you could try restarting networking to see if that helps - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. Be aware this might reset any current connections you have running. also check the output of lsmod | grep ndiswrapper | 20:53 |
| jadedoto | kindofabuzz: me too | 20:53 |
| sculework | fxfitz: the movie playback application should have that option in there somewhere | 20:54 |
| sculework | disable screen blanking or such | 20:54 |
| fxfitz | sculework, But it's not JUST movies. Like even if I leave my laptop idle (not doing anything), the screen turns blank, and I do not want that to happen | 20:54 |
| sculework | power management | 20:54 |
| jadedoto | fx: have you looked in power management? | 20:54 |
| TCMC2010 | anyone knows why update-grub don't see my /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-14-xen kernel ?! | 20:55 |

| sagredo | I cannot get, for the life of me, my sound to play | 20:56 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: That's the name of the file? | 20:56 |
| dalek_ | it's the Dell 1505 Wireless N card | 20:56 |
| dalek_ | Dell_multi-device_A17_R174292.exe | 20:56 |
| danand_ | fxfitz - have you checked the power management settings in the bios? | 20:56 |
| jadedoto | dalek: Are the drvers that you got actually letting you install them in ndis? Whn i tried to do it a few days ago in hardy, it gave me an error that the INFs were invalid... | 20:56 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Oh, not Broadcom? I thought you said it was Broadcom somewhere? | 20:56 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: In any case, what's in the file? | 20:56 |
| dalek_ | jade, nope. it let me install them | 20:56 |
| fxfitz | danand_, No, I have not, but I don't have this problem in Windows which leads me to believe it's not the BIOS | 20:56 |
| dalek_ | chaos, it's broadcom 4328 chipset | 20:57 |
| Dflamingo | when I try to use synaptic to install gnome-btdownload the only options I can check are reinstall and remove | 20:57 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: Okay. | 20:57 |
| dalek_ | bcmwl6.inf is the file I used, I think bcmwl5.inf is the older driver. not sure how to get that one | 20:57 |
| ChaosTheory | dalek_: One second. | 20:57 |
| theunixgeek | What theme is used in the screenshots here? http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/docs/tutorial/glade/ | 20:57 |

| Lamego | Dflamingo, do you get any error message ? | 20:59 |
| jPratt | I installed Frostwire and i click the shortcut and it doesnt do anything | 20:59 |

| Dflamingo | yes, when I try to download a torrent it says timed out after like 1 - 2 mins | 20:59 |
| kindofabuzz | jPratt: got java installed? | 20:59 |
| Lamego | jPratt, try to run it from the terminal, it usually provides some clue why it is not running | 20:59 |
| dalek_ | thx, I don't want to use vista. :( | 20:59 |

| Lamego | Dflamingo, do you have network connectivity with other applications ? | 20:59 |

| sculework | Troofy: you shouldn't, if wine_c is in home apt won't touch it | 21:00 |
| darko | anybody | 21:00 |
| kindofabuzz | Dflamingo: try Deluge | 21:00 |
| Dflamingo | I think it's because my ports are blocked or something | 21:00 |
| Lamego | darko, what is your problem ? | 21:00 |
| Dflamingo | deluge? It's another torrent right? | 21:01 |
| Survivorman | dalek_, here is a link to a forum with someone with trouble with the same chipset and with eventual success in getting it to work: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-336654.html | 21:01 |

| Dflamingo | but what if my ports are blocked? | 21:01 |
| Troofy | sculework even if i apt-get remove --purge wine? | 21:01 |
| kindofabuzz | Deluge had UpnP that will open a port automaticlly | 21:01 |
| Dflamingo | oooh | 21:01 |
| Dflamingo | okay | 21:01 |
| scott__ | i guess no one knows any thing about qdvdauthor ha thats to bad i thout this was the way to get some help but it seems not. i get no reply every time ask for help | 21:01 |
| Dflamingo | so I type deluge in synaptic? | 21:01 |
| jPratt | how do i run Frostwire from the Terminal | 21:01 |
| dalek_ | I've read that too, but thanks. lol | 21:01 |
| sculework | Troofy: I am sure --purge is for system files. not /home which is sacrosanct in the systems eyes really | 21:01 |

| kindofabuzz | dalek_: so you already did https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy? | 21:06 |
| Lamego | darko, don't ask me, but you did not | 21:06 |
| dalek_ | kind, yes | 21:07 |
| kindofabuzz | ok | 21:07 |
| Lamego | you are missing the mysql base scripts and directories | 21:07 |
| darko | lmao, ok that's embarrassing | 21:07 |
| kindofabuzz | dalek_: did you ever check the firmware to in use in restricted drivers? | 21:07 |
| Lamego | darko, eventually you didn't answered to the mysql root passwd question, and the install was incomplete | 21:08 |
| Makdaam | anywone had any experience with running timidity under jack? :) lots of posts on the forums but none have the solution :/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252237 is the closets to my situation except it didn't start working magically yet :/ | 21:08 |
| dalek_ | it doesn't show up in restricted drivers manager | 21:08 |
| kindofabuzz | oh | 21:08 |
| kindofabuzz | =) | 21:08 |
| jPratt | OMG thank you Rnbabe | 21:08 |
| jPratt | Woops | 21:08 |

| CareBeary | hi guys | 21:08 |
| scuderia | im using samba to access my virtual host OS (vmware), is there any possibility to mount it? | 21:08 |
| Lamego | scuderia, yes | 21:09 |
| squee | scuderia, install smbfs | 21:09 |
| CareBeary | im trying to install ubuntu 7.10 but it gives me a APIC error | 21:09 |
| michi | hi ;) | 21:09 |
| toowoe[tryme] | hi | 21:10 |
| arooni | what does a load really mean? how can load ever exceed 1? what is a good/ok/bad load? | 21:10 |
| CareBeary | anyone? | 21:11 |

| scuderia | squee: and them do mount -t smbfs //host ? | 21:12 |
| squee | scuderia, pretty much | 21:13 |
| jkonami | hey guys. so I have an ati card, and i've gotten it to half work, but I started messing with it because full screen video was choppy.. compiz worked, other stuff.. installed ati binaries then everything seemed slow responsiveness-wise.. so whats the best thing to do? right now it defaulted to vesa but I have xorg.conf backups that sorta-kinda worked | 21:13 |
| rwycuff | johannix :any luck | 21:14 |
| jkonami | I want perfectly working ati drivers if possible.. fullscreen video smooth, compiz, everything | 21:14 |
| efirewick | jkonami: what is the model video card? | 21:15 |
| Lamego | jkonami, ask to ATI :) | 21:15 |
| jkonami | efirewick: firegl 3100 | 21:15 |
| rwycuff | jkonami: the best you will get is to use the ones from the ati site and even then i say get an nvidia card | 21:15 |
| jkonami | Lamego: I don't need perfect drivers persay, just whatever the best thing to do currently is | 21:15 |
| lionroar | hi - can i somehow run xdm inside xnest? do i need to use XDMCP on localhost for this? i know its an odd request | 21:16 |

| jkonami | so have any of you used ati's "installer?" I did and it works, but I can't seem to revert to the ubuntu version of the driver.. the restricted drivers manager isn't very in depth and just accepts any ati binary driver | 21:17 |
| Survivorman | I have ati and just used the restricted driver in ubuntu and installed xgl. it was the only way I could get compiz working smoothly. | 21:17 |
| CareBeary | Can someone help me get ubuntu 7.10 installed? | 21:18 |

| jkonami | Ok, thanks for the responses.. I orginally got the firegl because supposedly the opengl stuff worked better with 3dsmax but I don't even think that's the case anymore. Anyway, I'm gonna get the driver workingm because I'm essentially in 640 right now which is horrendous for modern day computing :) bbl :) | 21:21 |

| AHemlocksLie | I have an ATI RADEON 9550, and someone told me using xgl or something like that rather than aigl, again not sure on the exact name, might solve some problems I've been having with games making my computer lock up. Now, though, none even start up all the way, and running glxgears makes X restart. Is there something I can do to fix xgl, or should I just go back to what I had before? | 21:23 |
| sculework | well if the older way was better, go back | 21:23 |
| kane77 | chetnick, it's taking too long to load... :/ | 21:23 |
| kium | if i have Intel pc, but i dont know if its 64bit AMD, what i need to choose on the download page? | 21:24 |
| CVD-PR | any know when the ubuntu 8.04 RC gonna came out? cheese i cant wait to download, burnit and use it | 21:24 |
| AHemlocksLie | sculework, but it might just be a settings issue. I had to fix a dozen things when I first installed Ubuntu and was using the original anyway | 21:24 |
| patrick_ | guys i have gutsy on my compaq laptop with touch sensitive controls, however no matter how high i turn up the volume i barely hear anything out of my speakers...how do i fix this?? | 21:24 |
| kane77 | kium, if it is intel then it surely isn't AMD :) | 21:24 |
| kium | but look @ download page | 21:24 |
| kium | 64bit AMD and intel computers | 21:24 |
| kium | :O | 21:25 |
| kium | may i choose it ? or the first | 21:25 |
| genii | kium: The 32 bit version is usually best if you're unsure | 21:25 |
| kane77 | kium, if you have 64 bit processor and have more than 4GB of ram then you need 64-bit version, otherwise you are fine with plain 32 bit version | 21:26 |
| sculework | AHemlocksLie: well ATI have a bad reputation, there are many things you could try, but it sounds nastily broken if glxgears segfaults the whole of X | 21:26 |
| kium | ok so i dl the normal one | 21:26 |
| kium | :) | 21:26 |
| kium | the first i mena | 21:26 |

| AHemlocksLie | sculework: yeah, my hopes weren't exactly high, but I thought maybe there'd be something I could try | 21:26 |
| slongon | speech on | 21:27 |
| CVD-PR | ? | 21:27 |
| sculework | AHemlocksLie: newer drivers or sometimes older drivers, older drivers can be surprisingly effective sometimes | 21:27 |
| AHemlocksLie | sculework: I think I've got the newest. I updated with Envy about 5 minutes ago with no help | 21:27 |
| sculework | try older ones, there is a ld version that was better for compiz, but I forget now which version | 21:28 |
| Survivorman | AHemlocksLie, the newest ati driver ALWAYS screws my setup. Envy is typically not a good option either. | 21:28 |
| sculework | ld/old | 21:28 |
| heydabop | How do I get a command to execute at startup? | 21:28 |
| AHemlocksLie | survivorman: Really? I'd heard it was a great way to make sure your drivers are up to date and set up right | 21:29 |
| kane77 | heydabop, before or after you log in? | 21:29 |
| Survivorman | heydabop, go to system, preferences and sessions | 21:29 |

| _tpp_ | there is no firefox running | 21:32 |
| heydabop | Thank you Survivorman. | 21:32 |
| _tpp_ | ok I created the user, I'll brb | 21:32 |
| AHemlocksLie | survivorman: that looks like what I did, basically, except I disabled AIGLX and Composite in my xorg.conf first. Could either of those be causing problems? | 21:32 |
| chetnick | try to pass the option "no apic" | 21:32 |
| nixnoob | how do i control my cpu fan speed in gutsy? my cpu fan can be heard from space... | 21:32 |
| Survivorman | keith4, don't use w32codecs, use ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:32 |
| binarical-app | vlc has all its codecs built into its application, it dosnt need external libs | 21:32 |
| patrick_ | guys i have gutsy on my compaq laptop with touch sensitive controls, however no matter how high i turn up the volume i barely hear anything out of my speakers...how do i fix this? | 21:32 |
| Survivorman | keith4, you will have to have the right repos enabled though | 21:33 |
| ItchyHoBo | thank you all let's c if i can get it to work | 21:33 |
| keith4 | binarical-app: Survivorman: in debian, I'd install w32codecs. I don't use ubuntu. I'm trying to help some ubuntu-using idiot, and I want to tell him the "ubuntu" way to do this | 21:33 |
| CareBerry | chetnick: how do i do that? | 21:33 |
| Survivorman | AHemlocksLie, it's possible. With that guide, it works on a fressh install of gutsy after updating my system | 21:33 |
| KalEl | what is the default port for sftp? | 21:34 |
| binarical-app | you should be able to find most of what he needs by adding repos | 21:34 |
| keith4 | KalEl: sftp is just ftp over ssh. thus, it uses whatever ssh uses, which is 22 by default | 21:34 |
| * ItchyHoBo finds it funny that ie4linux ppl have turned the IE 'E' upside down; maybe to ward of evil? | 21:34 | |
| _tpp_ | ok, firefox opened for the new user, I've already tried deleting my .mozilla folder, what is going on? | 21:35 |
| sculework | keith4: odd I have 115 in /etc/services | 21:35 |
| AHemlocksLie | survivorman: okay, test time. Be back in a sec with updates. | 21:35 |
| Jowi | patrick_, generally speaking, the volume has several controls - normally Volume and PCM. open the volume control panel and watch which switch is adjusted when you press the buttons. if it is PCM that goes up and down when you press the buttons, turn Volume up to full or vice versa. | 21:35 |
| CareBerry | How do i install with No apic option? | 21:35 |
| Stroganoff | theres no way to move the ~/Templates folder to a different position (hide it), am i right? | 21:35 |
| Survivorman | keith4, that will get the codecs for him. I'm not sure w32codecs are still there. tell him to enable all repos in system, adminstration, software sources and then sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:35 |
| KalEl | keith4, but wikipedia says "A common misconception is that SFTP is simply FTP run over SSH"... i do not follow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol | 21:35 |
| keith4 | are you serious? there's no way to just install w32codecs without all of the restricted crap? | 21:36 |
| jegr | hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu on the same disk as windows. windows is installed in the beginning and there was some space left for linux. root linux partition came out to be /dev/sda7 (windows partitions begin ftom sda1...). after installing ubuntu it appeared that grub failed to install. what should i do ? | 21:36 |
| keith4 | man, I hate ubuntu | 21:36 |
| sculework | KalEl: 115 | 21:36 |
| kindofabuzz | ItchyHoBo: ie4linux? what the hell? | 21:36 |
| sculework | grep sftp /etc/services | 21:36 |
| kindofabuzz | who would do that? | 21:36 |
| Survivorman | you could install vlc. that would get the basics | 21:36 |
| Survivorman | as someone stated before. | 21:36 |
| keith4 | he's using mplayer | 21:36 |
| kindofabuzz | that's like going camping and taking your tv | 21:36 |
| binarical-app | the restricted repos are a result of common copy right laws , as such NIx os must be carefull not to interefere with lager money making monsters | 21:37 |
| danand_ | keith4 - restricted is just part of the package name - its a bit like the non-free repos in debian | 21:37 |
| ItchyHoBo | kindofabuzz, yeah i needed to view some webpages that require activex; i have wine so i'll just install IE on linux i guess; | 21:37 |
| KalEl | thanks keith4, sculework ... is sftp secure liks ssh? if i send it through untrusted channel will my data be secure? | 21:37 |
| ItchyHoBo | kindofabuzz, it is a script for installing IE on linux | 21:37 |
| kindofabuzz | ItchyHoBo: i would just avoid those sites and write the webmaster and tell him to catch up with the times =) | 21:37 |
| keith4 | danand_: right. but what else in in ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 21:38 |
| Survivorman | keith4, java is there too i know | 21:38 |
| Survivorman | flash | 21:38 |
| keith4 | so, I should tell him to install vlc, java, and flash, just to get w32codecs? | 21:39 |
| Luckrider | s/join #ubuntu+1 | 21:39 |
| keith4 | i want no part of this | 21:39 |
| ItchyHoBo | kindofabuzz, uh u see the webpages is an IAS accounting course developed by the good ppl (read pencil pushers) at deloitte; they are giving it for free; i have an accounting exam coming up so i guess i have no choice | 21:39 |
| binarical-app | keith4: vlc is a stand alone media player | 21:39 |
| keith4 | i'll just send him in here | 21:39 |
| danand_ | keith4 - support for MP3 playback and decoding, support for various other audio formats (gstreamer plugins), Microsoft fonts, Java runtime environment, Flash plugin, LAME (to create compressed audio files) and DVD playback. | 21:39 |
| Survivorman | Keith4, he could just install vlc if he just wants the codecs and nothing else | 21:39 |
| docmur | How the hell do you read vista made DVD"s in ubuntu | 21:39 |
| patrick_ | jowi im in sound preferences (7.10) and i see pcm and pcm2 but i dont know how i could mess with the settings, where should i go? | 21:39 |
| StoneNewt | Lamego: you rang? | 21:39 |
| binarical-app | keith4: if he trys vlc he wont need all of the above | 21:39 |
| Survivorman | keith4, but for a working system for me, it's easier to just install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:40 |
| jPratt | What is 7.10's nickname | 21:40 |
| kindofabuzz | ItchyHoBo: tell them you don't have IE | 21:40 |

| Survivorman | jpatrick, I mean gutsy gibbon | 21:40 |

| AHemlocksLie | survivorman: yeah, I'll probably try looking around some more, and I already planned to get a new nVidia card ASAP. It was making my Firefox crash, though, so I gotta revert for now. | 21:44 |

| JuN|oR | hmmm i can't find | 22:15 |
| thoreauputic | moDumass: does it work with a different mail client? Say t-bird or sylpheed ? | 22:15 |
| moDumass | <thoreauputic> these are the instructions from the host "Outgoing Mail Server: mail.mydomain.org (server requires authentication) port 26" | 22:15 |
| JuN|oR | give me the link please for linux to download full not triak | 22:15 |
| Lamego | JuN|oR, www.ubuntu.com | 22:15 |
| thoreauputic | moDumass: port 26 is a funky choice :) | 22:15 |
| moDumass | <thoreauputic> have not tried, but there shouldnt be any probs with evolution, | 22:15 |
| briareos90 | hi .. i ran the upgrader to hardy , but didnt upgrade . BUt now my software sources are totally messed up | 22:15 |
| alan_m | JuN|oR: there is no trial, its full version, free software, free...completely...no limits...ever. | 22:16 |
| thoreauputic | moDumass: you specified the port then? | 22:16 |
| briareos90 | can someone tell me how to revert back to the original software sources | 22:16 |
| moDumass | <thoreauputic> yeh? do i have any say though? | 22:16 |

| michi | hi again :) | 22:16 |
| cdecarlo | "me fui" - anyone? | 22:16 |
| Lamego | !sources | 22:16 |
| ubotu | 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 | 22:16 |
| binarical-app | JuN|oR: linux is a kernel ..............there is no operating system called linux. | 22:16 |
| thoreauputic | moDumass: heh - no I guess not :) | 22:16 |
| JuN|oR | Desktop edition is for pc | 22:16 |
| moDumass | <thoreauputic> no, where would i specify the port? ps thanks for the help | 22:16 |
| JuN|oR | normal ? | 22:16 |
| alan_m | JuN|oR: yes | 22:16 |
| JuN|oR | Which one is best | 22:17 |
| keit1 | JuN|oR: in the nicest possible manor please let me say you have been told the same info many many many times now. absorb that information and _get_on_with_it_ | 22:17 |
| JuN|oR | from versions | 22:17 |
| JuN|oR | ? | 22:17 |
| siloko | JuN|oR: desktop edition is for desktops! of many differect architectures . . . | 22:17 |
| thoreauputic | JuN|oR: go to http://ubuntu.com and follow the links, please | 22:17 |
| binarical-app | JuN|oR: there are many distros using the linux kernel some of them are os X , goobuntu, kubuntu , ubuntu , xubutnu , knoppix , elive, etc. inform yourself | 22:17 |
| ItchyHoBo | JuN|oR, should try slackware or freebsd | 22:17 |
| thoreauputic | JuN|oR: if you keep on repeating the same questions you will be silenced | 22:17 |
| keit1 | JuN|oR: download the livecd from ubuntu.com. burn it. try it without installing a thing. if you like it. install it :) | 22:17 |
| thoreauputic | Juhaz: final warning | 22:18 |
| mechanicalchris | I accidently dragged my "disk" icon and my "dell utilities" icon on to the desktop. Right clicking only gives the following options -open-browse folders-create archive- umount volume- and properties | 22:18 |
| binarical-app | JuN|oR. you must customize your distro to fit your needs. we cant help you figure out what you want to do | 22:18 |
| thoreauputic | Juhaz: sorry, typo | 22:18 |
| thoreauputic | :( | 22:18 |
| keit1 | ItchyHoBo: are you kidding. if he doesn't know what linux is then freebsd will be fun to install lol | 22:18 |

| dmfh | Greetings - would anyone know if the netfilter patches for iptable's ROUTE and -tee functions (useful for packet sniffing) were included in the source tree for the kernel in 8.04, so I can maybe avoid doing a kernel compile to turn those features on? | 22:19 |
| ItchyHoBo | JuN|oR, yep that the s**t right there | 22:19 |
| binarical-app | JuN|oR. can you tell me what kind of cpu you have? | 22:19 |

| michi | restart for fish to load | 22:19 |
| jack_spratt | JuN|oR: there are loads of distros, if you dont know about linux, which seems to be the case then go for one designed for newbies, like pclinuxos | 22:19 |
| ItchyHoBo | JuN|oR, how much computer experience do u have? | 22:20 |
| clutsy-ribbon | wooop, I love ubuntu! i've made everything look so good! | 22:20 |

| keit1 | CareBerry: a desktop shortcut should appear when gnome fully loads. if you spec is pretty old it can take some time | 22:27 |
| tecywiz121 | moDumass, it believe that ports are just server:port | 22:27 |
| CareBerry | keit1: ok im installing now | 22:27 |
| moDumass | tecywiz121 yeh thats what ive just tried, the error is now a "that mailbox doesnt exist: which is random, im sending mail to a gmail acct, which does exist | 22:28 |

| CareBerry | keit1: so im going to wipe it and use ubuntu | 22:28 |
| cdecarlo | CareBerry: if you are installing ubuntu on an old machine I'd suggest Xubuntu | 22:28 |
| alan_m | CareBerry: and your sure thats what you want to do right? | 22:29 |
| keit1 | CareBerry: well choose "guided use whole disk" then | 22:29 |

| tecywiz121 | keit1, nope, programmers dvorak | 22:31 |
| ItchyHoBo | alan_m, so did they fix it in hardy? | 22:31 |

| b4l74z4r | so what excactly is the difference between rebooting the system and restarting x? | 22:37 |
| Lamego | jaggy, lsb_release -a | 22:37 |
| mneptok | jaggy: lsb_release -a | 22:37 |
| jaggy | ty :) | 22:37 |
| keit1 | CareBerry: if you like docks try the latest svn of cairo-dock... awesome!!! | 22:37 |
| Lamego | b4l74z4r, restarting X does not kills system processes | 22:37 |
| nixnoob | keit1, im going to try it with tremulous now and see if it happens, if it does then im pretty sure its a driver problem, it may be interesting to note that im using a dual display as well. | 22:37 |
| Alan | ah, but even better - hardy has Gnome 2.22, so we finally finally have a compositing metacity! | 22:37 |
| tecywiz121 | b4l74z4r: restarting X doesn't do all the fancy boot type stuff | 22:38 |
| keit1 | IdleOne: yeah nexuiz is in the repos and it just flat-out refuses to work for me on both machines one ati one nvidia | 22:38 |
| CareBerry | keit1: whats a dock? | 22:38 |
| b4l74z4r | if i have an error, should i reboot the whole system or just x? | 22:38 |
| comatsu | i just installed wicd and dont have any idea how to get it to recognisa my ralink usb adapter.. ideas? | 22:38 |
| alan_m | Alan, yup :) | 22:38 |
| keit1 | nixnoob: compiz running i presume too? | 22:38 |
| tecywiz121 | b4l74z4r: depends on the errer | 22:38 |
| Lamego | b4l74z4r, depends on the type of error | 22:38 |
| tecywiz121 | b4l74z4r: system is safer tho | 22:38 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 22:38 |
| keit1 | CareBerry: like what mac uses to launch apps | 22:38 |
| ItchyHoBo | keit1, u will find it funny but nexuiz runs fine on my mobo's intel965 chipset; | 22:38 |
| binarical-app | briareos90: that will reset most of your gnome settings....i did this on my server, it dosnt have alot of stuff on it... no gui and the like.... it worked.... ither then that i wouldnt know how to help you | 22:39 |
| nixnoob | keit1, yes but it was never a problem on my lappy with a geforce 8600 i could run all games winie or otherwise fullscreen and compiz no problems | 22:39 |
| keit1 | ItchyHoBo: lol... typical | 22:39 |
| ItchyHoBo | keit1, finished the whole thing too; was a bit difficult near the end | 22:39 |
| keit1 | nixnoob: this is what make's linux not for the faint-hearted. hardware is always varying | 22:39 |

| GlenQuagmire | hi all | 22:40 |
| ItchyHoBo | hi there | 22:40 |
| keit1 | ItchyHoBo: still... waiting for UTIII | 22:40 |
| nixnoob | keit1, i kno ive found an archived thread which discusses the same problem it seems to be an issue with xorg and dual monitors with fullscreen games, | 22:40 |
| keit1 | nixnoob: there you go.. are you using xinerrama? | 22:41 |
| nixnoob | keit1, no one reports hard reboots but i guess anything is possible | 22:41 |
| nixnoob | keit1, twinview | 22:41 |
| jPratt | How do you port forward | 22:41 |
| b4l74z4r | i installed second life, and to launch it, i had to type "./" in front of the launch file, why is that? | 22:41 |
| void^ | b4l74z4r: . is not in $PATH | 22:41 |
| ItchyHoBo | keit1, UTIII is gonna murder by onboard gfx thingy :( | 22:41 |
| tecywiz121 | b4l74z4r: that means that you are loading the file from the current dir | 22:41 |
| Lamego | b4l74z4r, that means the command should be executed from the current directory | 22:41 |
| keit1 | nixnoob: well i'm sure it will be addressed at some point ;) | 22:41 |
| Jowi | keit1, ItchyHoBo : FYI just finished a game of Urban Terror - runs ok on intel integrated (945GM here) | 22:41 |
| === erich is now known as erichj | ||
| keit1 | ItchyHoBo: muhahahaha | 22:41 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 22:41 |
| jPratt | How do i find my private ip | 22:42 |
| keit1 | jPratt: iwconfig | 22:42 |
| ItchyHoBo | :`( | 22:42 |
| Lamego | jPratt, ifconfig | 22:42 |
| Chousuke | whatismyip.com | 22:42 |
| Chousuke | ifconfig doesn't show it if you're behind a router :P | 22:42 |
| Chousuke | that does NAT, that is | 22:42 |
| Jowi | jPratt, http://www.whatismyip.com (in case you are behind a router) | 22:42 |
| LjL | Chousuke: that'll give him his public ip | 22:42 |
| Lamego | "private ip" usuall referes to the LAN ip, so yes, it does show | 22:42 |
| rambo3 | can somone recomend cd burning program that works well in 64 bit | 22:42 |
| ItchyHoBo | Jowi, yeh i gues you could do basic gaming on intel | 22:42 |
| Chousuke | ah right | 22:43 |
| jPratt | I am behind a router | 22:43 |
| Chousuke | then, yes, ifconfig | 22:43 |
| Lamego | jPratt, you mean, lan ip, or internet ip, from your router ? | 22:43 |
| Jowi | jPratt, your other alternative is to look in the router config/settings. | 22:43 |
| titanium88 | is it possible to print from ubuntu 64 bit running as a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion in OSX 10.5.2 ? | 22:43 |
| jPratt | I need to port forward so.... | 22:43 |
| LjL | jPratt, if you're looking for your *private* IP (the one internal to your network), then "ifconfig". if you're looking for your *public* IP (the one visible on the Internet), then it's 68.217.128.54 | 22:43 |
| ItchyHoBo | ok ppl gotta study my accounting; bye | 22:43 |
| katella | does it make any sense that I'd have sound using wine and wow, but no sound in the rest of ubuntu? | 22:43 |
| patrick_ | im running gutsy gibbon on my presario laptop, i can sort of hear my speakers when they are turned up all the way using the physical controls, how do i turn up the "master" volume control?? | 22:43 |
| keit1 | ItchyHoBo: peace | 22:44 |
| Lamego | jPratt, ok, so you want the IP from ifconfig, but make sure it is static :P | 22:44 |
| thoreauputic | rambo3: any cd burner in the repositories should work fine in 64 bit AFAIK | 22:44 |
| keit1 | patrick_: volume icon top right | 22:44 |
| keit1 | patrick_: double click if needs be | 22:44 |
| Jowi | jPratt, look in your router. look for "attached devices" that will tell which ip addresses are in use at the moment. then, depending on the router, look for "port forwarding" or "virtual server" and do the port forwarding from there. | 22:44 |
| Tatster | Is anyone around that can assist me with a problem I've got with LVM logical volumes, please? | 22:45 |
| patrick_ | keit1 its turned up all the way, still can barely hear anything, but i know the speakers work, the notebook's brand new! | 22:45 |

| thoreauputic | timewriter: try #kubuntu | 22:45 |
| patrick_ | keit1 nope where should i go? | 22:45 |
| dougsko | patrick_: try 'alsamixer' from a terminal | 22:45 |

| balor | When using a microphone I can hear what I say via my headphones, however applications such as Sound Recorder or Ekiga seem to record/broadcast white noise. Is there some magic I need to do to make the microphone work? | 22:47 |

| Jowi | patrick_, if you plugged it into the correct jack, run "alsamixer" in a terminal and see if any channels are set low or even turned off. you adjust the volume in alsamixer with the up and down arrow. press M to mute/unmute. press ESC to exit. | 23:03 |
| patrick_ | jowi, its a laptop with built in speakers..however if i use any external speakers or headphones it works. also if i put my cursor over the volume icon in the top right corner it says speaker | 23:03 |
| binarical-app | NW2190: i think your trying to specify such things as / , /home ,/var and such? | 23:03 |

| moDumass | <thoreauputic>yeh its the one specified by bluehost | 23:04 |
| Tatster | xb3rt: I think in the end for my i865 I grabbed a driver from turboprint, paid a small amount of money to remove their watermark, and it works ok now | 23:04 |

| WildChil17 | I'm a little confused what file do I have t open for playing dvds ? | 23:04 |
| thoreauputic | xb3rt: How? with ndiswrapper or something? I have no idea. HAve you ggogled your printer model with the keywords "linux compatibility"? | 23:04 |
| NW2190 | binarical-app: No I'm trying to get my GRUB menu.lst to point to the right partition. | 23:05 |
| Jowi | patrick_, I need to hit the sack. it's midnight here and I'm working tomorrow. good luck. | 23:05 |

| binarical-app | NW2190: srry | 23:05 |
| Tatster | xb3rt: according to http://www.turboprint.info/printers.html the IP90 is supported by the Turboprint driver | 23:06 |
| xb3rt | Tatster: Is their a repo for Turboprint | 23:06 |
| thoreauputic | xb3rt: I don't think I can help - I have an old HP Laserjet 6L that Just Works. I have a Canon parallel port scanner that I might as well throw out - it has never worked with Linux | 23:07 |
| gone | Enter text here...Hi! I'm new to lunux and need to get some sugestions on how to update a program. | 23:07 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, look for turboprint in the cups printer setup dialog | 23:07 |
| xb3rt | thoreauputic: I like the iP90 its one of the smallest printers ive ever seen, works good alongside a laptop | 23:07 |
| thoreauputic | xb3rt: Canon are notorious for not co-operating with the Open Source community | 23:07 |
| gone | Is it just to install the new version ontop of the old one? (Pidgin) | 23:07 |
| Pelo | gone, if it is a prog from the repos , it will update automaticaly when a newer package becomes availbale | 23:08 |
| thoreauputic | xb3rt: Pelo's turboprint idea is a good one - but I think you have to buy those drivers ( used to be so anyway) | 23:08 |
| Pelo | gone, you are better off waiting for the next distro but if you realy want to install a new version, remove the previous one first | 23:08 |
| Tatster | I had to, to get my i865 going. $29 I think | 23:09 |
| jk_ | i neeeed some help my ubuntu wont boot i get a busy box shell | 23:09 |
| binarical-app | gone: hey so how can we help you | 23:09 |
| gone | I got 2.2.1 but their homepage says 2.4.1 is the latest | 23:09 |
| xb3rt | Whats a good server distro? | 23:09 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, thoreauputic, usualy most of the driers are part of cups , if a specifi printer is not listed it is still possiblie that an available driver works for it , hence my suggestion | 23:09 |
| LjL | !server | xb3rt | 23:09 |
| ubotu | xb3rt: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 23:09 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, ubuntu can satisfy all your needs | 23:10 |
| binarical-app | i like 8.04 server | 23:10 |
| thoreauputic | Pelo: right - are the turboprint drivers in CUPS though? I thought they were proprietary? | 23:10 |
| xb3rt | Pelo: would ubuntu gutsy work, or should i check out the server version? | 23:10 |
| * Pelo has been reading on diggs that UBUNTU is now a replacement for the word LINUX | 23:10 | |
| LjL | an unstable version as a server? doesn't seem like a good idea to me. | 23:10 |
| Pelo | thoreauputic, no idea , like I said , look around | 23:10 |
| binarical-app | gone. you can try updating pidgin via the terminal | 23:10 |
| b4l74z4r | i'm trying to install a wine .deb file with gdebi and it says that libldap2 dependency is not satisfiable, i installed libldap2 with synaptic but i still get the error message in gdebi, what is wrong? | 23:11 |
| jk_ | i neeeed some help my ubuntu wont boot i get a busy box shell | 23:11 |
| thoreauputic | Pelo: so that would be GNU/Ubuntu ? *grin* | 23:11 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: why would you be installing WINE from a raw .deb? | 23:11 |
| gone | Which ver. of the install files should I use? Does Fedora versions work on ubuntu too? | 23:11 |
| Starnestommy | jk_: did you recently update or change anything before this happened? | 23:11 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: WINE is available in the official repositories | 23:11 |
| Draggin | Hey - would anyone in here be able to tell me where I can find out about the legality of libdvdread3? I just see everywhere that it in 'some' countries usage may be legal and that I should check this... Where the hell do I check that? I can't seem to find anything which would indicate in which countries I'd be allowed to use it or not | 23:11 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, that's not how it works, gutsy is a release, server is just an install cd with a specific set of packages selected for the installation, you can actualy use a server cd to install a full ubuntu if you want , or anyother way around | 23:11 |
| b4l74z4r | LjL, i don't want the latest version, theres some issues with it | 23:11 |
| * Pelo pokes thoreauputic 's eyes out | 23:12 | |
| LjL | Draggin, you shouldn't seek legal advice in an IRC support channel. the bottom line is, nobody will care, mostly likely, no matter which country you're in. | 23:12 |
| xb3rt | Pelo: so the server cd would get installed onto a gutsy setup? | 23:12 |
| binarical-app | gone: are you running ubuntu ? if so then it should be part of the default desktop environment. this way simply upgrading via terminal should cover you | 23:12 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r, the one in the official repositories isn't the latest version | 23:12 |
| Slart | Draggin: I'm just guessing here.. but in some countries it's illegal to circumvent protection schemes...I think most of EU has approved that law | 23:12 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, same base , no gui, no x , and the LAMP stuff basicaly | 23:12 |
| Draggin | LjL - I know, but I care about these things :) And I just want to know where I can find this info | 23:12 |
| thoreauputic | Pelo: code of conduct violation! *grin* | 23:12 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 is the version in the repositories | 23:12 |
| beshy | has anyone in here experienced something like this? if I so much as touch my touchpad, both it and the keyboard become 100% unresponsive, forcing a reboot to regain control of the keyboard | 23:13 |
| alan_m | Draggin, go seek legal advice from an attorney if your unsure, we definately dont have law degrees in here :) | 23:13 |
| Draggin | Slart, makes sense, but then, how much sense does it make to deny people the right to watch movies that they paid for? | 23:13 |
| xb3rt | Pelo: no gui? whats it look like on boot a prompt? | 23:13 |
| Slart | Draggin: oh.. and I agree with Ljl.. you'll probably just get shitty advice here anyway.. just look at my answer.. =) | 23:13 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, basicaly | 23:13 |
| b4l74z4r | LjL, i installed with add/remove and the version i got was 0.9.58 | 23:13 |
| xb3rt | Pelo: that kinda sucks, isn't their one with a GuI | 23:13 |
| Pelo | xb3rt, ifyou have a gui version ofubuntu already setup you only need to add the LAMP stuff to get a server running | 23:13 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: uh? are you on gutsy? | 23:14 |
| Mtc2 | hi all | 23:14 |
| Slart | Draggin: we're bordering on !ot now.. but aren't societies about obeying laws even if you don't happen to agree with them? | 23:14 |
| b4l74z4r | no, hardy | 23:14 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1, for a start | 23:14 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: hardy is not yet supported. | 23:14 |
| binarical-app | gone: you can upgrade with: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 23:14 |
| b4l74z4r | LjL, ok, thanks | 23:14 |
| LjL | b4l74z4r: and downgrading packages is even less supported | 23:14 |
| Draggin | Haha, I guess so - which would explain why I'm so anti-social then :{ | 23:14 |
| thoreauputic | Slart: ===> #politics | 23:14 |

| binarical-app | Draggin: you know that the reason its called soft ware is because its soft, and there ususaly is a way to force entry into any system or network. | 23:20 |
| Pelo | katella, check your user settings , make sure you have permission to use sound devices , menu > system > admin > user | 23:21 |
| Draggin | Ummm... binarical-app... Yeah... Okay? Not quite getting what you're driving at. | 23:21 |
| LjL | deniz__, i'm more familiar with the netpbm tools. but it's easy really: « pdftoppm filename.PDF | pdftojpeg >outputfilename.JPEG ». and if you want to do it with a batch of files, i can give you a command that will achieve that | 23:21 |

| katella | Pelo: I get no sound at all from any flashes, tests, etc, EXCEPT for when I've loaded wow with wine | 23:28 |

| jaggy | binarical-app, no, i'm only intrested to test some stuff on it ;) i already got a server runnign | 23:49 |

| Pelo | nomopofomo, what are you trying to acheive exactly , what program are we talking about ? | 23:52 |
| frostburn | Pelo, thanks much, seems like a little overkill, but got the job done | 23:53 |
| WildChil17 | ŠPelothanx | 23:53 |
| WildChil17 | Pelo: thanx | 23:53 |
| jaggy | binarical-app, how do you mean? | 23:53 |
| binarical-app | jaggy: well for starters, how do you access your server | 23:53 |
| Redeye2 | No luck there. | 23:54 |
| nomopofomo | Pelo, I just don't want it wreaking any havoc in case it's something bad. | 23:54 |
| CareBerry | do i need a swap partition? | 23:54 |
| WildChil17 | Pelo: ok how can I run dvd and get dvd menu ? | 23:54 |
| Redeye2 | oh well the search continues. | 23:54 |
| jaggy | binarical-app, it should be just localhost | 23:54 |
| x1250 | Hi guys, any easy way to change the default key binding for loading the home page in firefox? I want to change the default ALT+Home | 23:54 |
| alan_m | CareBerry, highly advised that you do have one, and it should be double your ammount of ram in your pc. | 23:54 |
| RoAkSoAx | CareBerry, preferably | 23:55 |
| Pelo | WildChil17, presonnaly I use totem-xine , instead of gstreamer, it will play dvd, with menues, youcan also set totem as the default dvd player in menu > system > prefs > removable media , so it starts totem when you pop in a dvd | 23:55 |
| binarical-app | jaggy: what i think right now is that your trying to access your server via a web browser like firefox | 23:55 |
| CareBerry | alan_m so 4gb swap? | 23:55 |
| alan_m | careberry, if you have 2gb of ram yes | 23:55 |
| CareBerry | alan_m what does a swap do? | 23:55 |
| jaggy | yes binarical-app | 23:55 |
| alan_m | careberry, it takes over when you run out of physical ram, it is a portion of your hard drive that acts like ram. | 23:56 |
| x1250 | CareBerry: naah, it depends. With 2 gigs of ram, then go for 1gb swap, unless you think someday you'll consume more than that | 23:56 |
| binarical-app | jaggy: do you want to set it up so that it has a name of yoru coice and is accessable outside of your network? | 23:56 |
| === Kamus_H_Zwisch is now known as kamux-emuxinho | ||
| x1250 | 2 times your ram is a too old advice | 23:56 |
| Pelo | nomopofomo, not what kind of havoc are we talking about there ? but in anycase if you are that worried, you can always install vmware-server from the repos and then isntall a VM of ubuntu on that and run your nasty progs from there instead of from your host install | 23:56 |
| jaggy | binarical-app, nope | 23:56 |
| alan_m | x1250 i thought the general rule was double, is it half? | 23:56 |
| RoAkSoAx | CareBerry, swap is used instead of using ram memory, and it is usually 2 times of your phisical ram memory and less than 2gb | 23:56 |
| === kamux-emuxinho is now known as Kamus_H_Zwisch | ||
| astro76 | alan_m: there is no rule, that double is a rule of thumb that was outdated ten years ago | 23:57 |
| binarical-app | jaggy: is it a headless server or are your running it right now | 23:57 |
| alan_m | astro76, amazing that i still see it everywhere hmm | 23:57 |
| Pelo | alan_m, when you get past 1 gig of ram 2xram for swap is too much, you can start cutting back | 23:57 |
| binarical-app | jaggy: but i dont need to know this to help you test your scripts | 23:57 |
| jaggy | binarical-app, whats headless? | 23:57 |
| alan_m | Pelo, ah :) | 23:57 |
| astro76 | alan_m: yes unfortunately, including in here :P | 23:57 |
| hauk | can anyone answer me as to why the Update manager is going to remove compiz-gnome? | 23:57 |
| alan_m | astro76, guilty :/ | 23:58 |
| Starnestommy | jaggy: if it doesn't have a monitor or screen, it's headless | 23:58 |
| binarical-app | jaggy:headless is just a server that has been set up and is accessable via the network , needing no direct controllers attached to run | 23:58 |
| unop | hauk, at a terminal. what does this say? aptitude why-not compiz-gnome | 23:58 |
| Pelo | hauk, because eitehr is it no longer needed or enterfeers with some new feature, probably the second one since gnome 2.24 now has some compoziting stuff of it's own | 23:58 |
| jaggy | ooo nice, well, it has a screen :p | 23:58 |
| astro76 | alan_m: now unless you want to hibernate, then you need swap at least equal to ram | 23:58 |
| michi | bye | 23:59 |
| hauk | unop: It said it was manually installed. | 23:59 |
| alan_m | astro76, yeah, thats why i do mine that way | 23:59 |
| hauk | Pelo: kk, we'll see. Will it effect my Compiz settings as is? | 23:59 |
| WildChil17 | Pelo: funny but for play dvd is a comand: totem %m but there is no menus when I put dvd in :s | 23:59 |
| * alan_m goes to cut back my swap partition, brb | 23:59 | |
