| amenado | !who | mehmet | 00:00 |
| ubotu | mehmet: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:00 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, and this is an educated guess - your proxy server is denying connections to it because it thinks traffic is originating from out on the internet rather than your LAN | 00:00 |
| happyface_ | soundray: I also need to mention that I switched from an LCD to a CRT monitor, different resolutions | 00:00 |
| michael__ | giordani: it turns on by itself after you turn it off? | 00:00 |
| giordani | yes | 00:00 |
| mehmet | amenado: is all that neccisary? | 00:00 |
| kraypius | I need help. i accidently disabled the ability to login to root via webmin and i dont know how to undo it... im sure it just modified a standard file on the machine or something | 00:00 |
| BixBox | amenado: no, I think its from source | 00:00 |
| Datz | Hi, how do I change my password for openssh?? | 00:00 |
| arang2 | guys i have a problem when i open my gmail the processor spikes high to the 80 or 99% in firefox 2.0.0.13 im using ubuntu gutsy 32 bits in a core 2 duo t5250 | 00:00 |
| mehmet | i just need the "192.168.1.1." | 00:00 |
| mehmet | for ubntu | 00:00 |
| amenado | mehmet-> do you have an ethernet interface? wireless? can you paste your ifconfig; route -n in pastebin please | 00:00 |
| Starnestommy | comicinker: gcc -Dthing_to_define -o file.o file.c | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | Datz, Change your user's password | 00:01 |
| unop_ | Datz, you change your user password | 00:01 |
| soundray | happyface_: there are two things you can do: remove the 'quiet splash' kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:01 |
| Datz | Jordanm thanx | 00:01 |
| mehmet | i have ethernet | 00:01 |
| comicinker | Starnestommy: I'll try, thanks | 00:01 |
| giordani | michael__, : yes | 00:01 |
| jaffarkelshac | does anyone know any channel for discussing computer hardware | 00:01 |
| amenado | mehmet-> giving us only half of the information, you'd only get half of the answers | 00:01 |
| Datz | and unop * | 00:01 |
| Starnestommy | jaffarkelshac: ##hardware ? | 00:01 |
| unop_ | jaffarkelshac, #hardware probably | 00:01 |
| michael__ | giordani: ok you see your battery meter up top | 00:01 |
| amenado | mehmet-> and please put that nick in front on your responses.. | 00:01 |
| roeinstein | how can I add a "my computer" icon to my desktop? what is the command to launch the file system? | 00:01 |
| soundray | happyface_: or pass a vga= option by modifying that same file. Ubotu will send you a factoid about boot options as a private message | 00:01 |
| giordani | my batttery don't work | 00:01 |
| Mighty_Penguin | erle-: i didnt know that, i could use it but i'll stick to 32bit, even though i have 4gb of ram | 00:02 |
| soundray | !bootoptions > happyface_ | 00:02 |
| comicinker | Starnestommy: thanks, worked great. jipie | 00:02 |
| michael__ | giordani: sppp waiit you dont have a meter in the upper right hand corner? | 00:02 |
| happyface_ | thanks soundray, ill try that | 00:02 |
| Mighty_Penguin | i'd rather have a base system instead of a system built for a server | 00:02 |
| happyface_ | soundray: will it also fix my consoles not working? (ctr+alt+f1-f6)? | 00:02 |
| giordani | no because mu battery is off | 00:02 |
| BrainBug | anyone? "unable to mount CD-ROM" somewhere in the installer, i just installed srv2003 and this one works fine... but i dont like it :P so pls help me :-) | 00:02 |
| mehmet | amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62190/ | 00:02 |
| giordani | don't work | 00:03 |
| michael__ | giordani: ok then go into system/power managment | 00:03 |
| giordani | ok, than? | 00:03 |
| soundray | happyface_: yes. BTW, if your monitor supports 1024x768, a good one is vga=0x371 | 00:03 |
| happyface_ | thx | 00:03 |
| arooni | what is a web browser (still with gui) that is NOT firefox? | 00:03 |
| Xorothal | unop_: I've just set it all up so that it's 193. etc and it still doesn't work | 00:03 |
| unop_ | BrainBug, you probably want to verify that the CD and the .ISO you downloaded | 00:03 |
| soundray | arooni: epiphany, konqueror | 00:03 |
| roeinstein | how can I add a "my computer" icon to my desktop? what is the command to launch the file system box? | 00:03 |
| michael__ | giordani: ok then go into system/prefrences/power managment and dude i dont even know ive never heard of your computer turning back on unless your just putting it to sleep \ | 00:04 |
| amenado | mehmet-> that seemed to look okay, can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 00:04 |
| BrainBug | unop_,did and done:-) but the problem is not with 1 cd , i tried 5 and all of them same error ... really strange | 00:04 |
| mehmet | hahah now it is working | 00:04 |
| mehmet | thanks | 00:04 |
| giordani | i don't know why is that | 00:04 |
| Xorothal | unop_ is gone | 00:04 |
| BixBox | its the error msg include firebird.log >> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62191/ | 00:04 |
| michael__ | giordani: because your os doesnt control the computer when its off like no power dead so its damn near impossible for that to happen but we can see if we can get anyone else here to help out | 00:04 |
| Xorothal | can anyone else help? | 00:04 |
| arang2 | guys i have a problem when i open my gmail the processor spikes high to the 80 or 99% in firefox 2.0.0.13 im using ubuntu gutsy 32 bits in a core 2 duo t5250 | 00:04 |
| BrainBug | unop_,did and done:-) but the problem is not with 1 cd , i tried 5 and all of them same error ... really strange | 00:05 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, 193.x.x.x is also public -- use one of 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x-172.32.x.x or 192.168.x.x | 00:05 |
| Xorothal | d'oh! | 00:05 |
| unop_ | BrainBug, well, did you verify the ISO file you downloaded against the md5 or sha1 sum? | 00:05 |
| BrainBug | unop_, yes and tried it on other pc and works like a charm | 00:05 |
| michael__ | hey can anyone help me help giordani with his power issues he says that when he turn his computer off it turns itself back on after a min | 00:05 |
| soundray | arang2: what's the problem with that? | 00:06 |
| amenado | arang2-> do this, ps aux >> test1.txt before launching gmail processor, then do same after you launched it ps aux >> test2.txt , and compare the two | 00:06 |
| jaffarkelshac | hmm Starnestommy unop_ checked it might be vlc | 00:06 |
| BrainBug | giordani, place another volatebox with some ligthbulb , so u can turn on and off :P | 00:06 |
| BrainBug | voltage* | 00:06 |
| cosmodad | what happens with /etc/cron.d jobs when the system isn't running at the time of scheduling? I suppose anacron can't deal with that, so will such jobs just be postponed to the next interval? | 00:07 |
| unop_ | BrainBug, well, the error you have given us there is quite vague -- perhaps some context is needed to troubleshoot better, where do you get the error? at what stage? do you do anything unusual? | 00:07 |
| michael__ | Brainbug: hahaha yeah im thinking he maybe be mistakingly putting it to sleep because its impossible to do what hes saying its doing | 00:07 |
| unop_ | cosmodad, i'm assuming the jobs don't run if crond isn't running | 00:07 |
| michael__ | Brainbug: unless its an hardware issue | 00:08 |
| giordani | BrainBug, : i'm with this voltagebox 3 years and i don't have any problem until yesterday | 00:08 |
| BrainBug | michael_, u just never know... | 00:08 |
| boxybrown | ok i have a question about: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto im going to try and get thunderbird to connect and get and send mail, what ports/security do i set up under account info? | 00:08 |
| cosmodad | unop_: I suppose so to, but wondered if there was some anacron-like mechanism for cron.d/ too | 00:08 |
| unop_ | cosmodad, by crond i meant anacron | 00:08 |
| soundray | giordani: it could be a fault in the power switch on your computer, or the power supply | 00:08 |
| BrainBug | giordani, so u press shutdown and he reboots? maybe if u say he wakes up , try bios find boot options maybe there? | 00:08 |
| Kr|ptiX | how do i update my intel 954GM driver cause im haven graphic problems when tryn to play world of warcraft | 00:08 |
| cosmodad | unop_: anacron doesn't handle anything shorter than daily jobs anyway. | 00:09 |
| arang2 | soundray: the processor goes to 100% in conky n htop (both) till i go back to the old gmail version | 00:09 |
| arang2 | soundray: im usin a core 2 duo t5250 | 00:09 |
| Johne5 | what are fake webcam drivers called? WDM? | 00:09 |
| unop_ | cosmodad, it should work the same way, irrespective of the cron daemon you use -- anacron doesn't support hourly jobs or even shorter?? | 00:09 |
| Xorothal | unop_: I'm now on 172.168.0.2 and it's working! thanks so much | 00:09 |
| cosmodad | unop_: anacron isn't really a cron replacement, it's a supplement. | 00:10 |
| * C3s4r is back (gone 02:32:23) | 00:10 | |
| soundray | arang2: so gmail is running some CPU-intensive tasks, probably Javascript. I still can't see the problem. | 00:10 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, you werent listening.. you are bound to bump into other problems if you continue using that address range | 00:10 |
| arang2 | soundray: problem is that the spike last forever | 00:10 |
| BrainBug | unop_, this guy basically got same problem, http://www.ubuntux.org/unable-to-mount-cd-rom-during-installation , it happens after u pick a language then goes to detect hardware he detects all, then mount CD-ROM he tries multiple times (alt+f4) but all failed... | 00:10 |
| neeto | Is there a way that I can update 7.10 to 8.04 seamlessly? | 00:10 |
| Xorothal | unop_: sorry, I meant 172.16.0.2 | 00:11 |
| arang2 | soundray: i open gmail n it hogs the processor till i close it or till i switch to the old version | 00:11 |
| Xorothal | arang2: try it with noscript | 00:11 |
| soundray | arang2: ah, okay. By definition, a spike is something that lasts for a very short time | 00:11 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, right right, thats better :) | 00:11 |
| giordani | when i'm press shutdown the pc putting itself to hibernate or suspend and he wake after 1 minute I THIK SO :P | 00:12 |
| arang2 | soundray: i know sorry for the lack of clearness | 00:12 |
| arang2 | Xorothal: explain pls | 00:12 |
| michael__ | why worry about 8.10 its not out till october | 00:12 |
| BrainBug | unop_, out here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4652679 they say that burning at 4x will do the trick but lowest i can burn is 8x... | 00:12 |
| BrainBug | unop_,and i just installed 32x srv2003 | 00:12 |
| amenado | arang2-> just for comparison, on fedora there is this npviewer.bin that causes your firefox to be slow because it also hogs the cpu of 40% or so, its flash related, | 00:12 |
| Xorothal | arang2: try disabling javascript if you haven;t got the noscript extension | 00:13 |
| soundray | arang2: how long have you waited while it was hogging the CPU? | 00:13 |
| unop_ | BrainBug, the srv2003 part is irrelevant to anything here :) there's little use saying "well this works on windows, but not on ubuntu" because obviously ubuntu is not windows, it has issues of its own | 00:13 |
| arang2 | soundray: several minutes | 00:13 |
| unop_ | BrainBug, you could try installing via the alternate CD .. perhaps that makes a difference | 00:14 |
| === C3s4r is now known as C3s4r-aWay | ||
| BrainBug | unop_, true but i thought if it would work with him at 32x why wouldnt linux.. iam installing from alternate | 00:14 |
| * C3s4r-aWay is Away, Reason: ( l ) | Since: ( Friday, April 4, 2008. 18:30:50 ) Xlack v2.1 | 00:14 | |
| soundray | arang2: well, I'd go with the noscript suggestion. You might also try 'firefox -safe-mode' | 00:14 |
| === C3s4r-aWay is now known as C3s4r | ||
| darkcrab | if you have a mac just burn it with disk utility | 00:14 |
| * C3s4r is back ( Away 12 secs ) | 00:15 | |
| darkcrab | thats what I do | 00:15 |
| Starnestommy | C3s4r: please turn off those public announcements | 00:15 |
| boxybrown | i get "sending of password did not succeed. Mail server 192.168.1.120 responded: chdir Maildir failed" | 00:15 |
| boxybrown | after followign https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto | 00:15 |
| tohtorijep | sry for bothering, if there is anyone who knows something about dm-crypt/cryptsetup please msg me | 00:15 |
| boxybrown | i really need to get things going so if anyone could help that would be great | 00:16 |
| unop_ | BrainBug, well, like i said, the error that you get is too vague (atleast without context) to make a definitive assumption about what is wrong .. it could be down to a number of things, have you tried a netboot or minimal CD yet? | 00:16 |
| tohtorijep | i lost my device mapper, i have the password and crypted partition but i dont know how to open it | 00:16 |
| maestrojed | how do I see a list of all users and or user groups | 00:17 |
| HorizonXP | hey, is it possible to access the gnome keyring from a bash script? | 00:17 |
| BrainBug | unop_, nope not yet... cause he aint in network (yet) | 00:17 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 00:17 |
| arooni | how can i make sure my home directory is indexed when it comes to doing that cool deskbar search? when i do searches it feels sooooooooo slow! | 00:18 |
| Xorothal | how can I disable the bootup splash screen? | 00:20 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, dont take this the wrong way, you can ask !google that question :) | 00:21 |
| amenado | Xorothal-> not to discourage you, but have you tried to use google ? | 00:21 |
| unop_ | amenado, ha ha | 00:21 |
| amenado | hehe...we think alike | 00:21 |
| linxeh | maybe his organisation has been banned from google, like mine :P | 00:22 |
| AVFC1 | compiz fusion wasnt working for me, and after searching i found someone on the ubuntu forum say that they fixed it by un-installing and re-installing in synaptic, but when i try to re-install them it says "Package compiz-core has no available version, but exists in the database. | 00:22 |
| AVFC1 | This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list" | 00:22 |
| AVFC1 | and the same for compiz-gnome | 00:22 |
| Xorothal | amenado, unop_: sorry, yes | 00:22 |
| unop_ | linxeh, well, you can ask yahoo - or <with disgust> live.com :) | 00:22 |
| linxeh | unop_: :) we get banned from lots of sites. too many unique cookies coming from one proxy IP I guess | 00:23 |
| ashaibani | is this a real person | 00:23 |
| linxeh | unop_: he could ask the ubuntu wiki though :) | 00:23 |
| ashaibani | is anyone here | 00:23 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, well, i typed this out in google and surprise, surprise - http://www.google.co.uk/search?complete=1&hl=en&q=disable+ubuntu+splash+screen&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f | 00:23 |
| ashaibani | can any read this!!! | 00:23 |
| linxeh | ashaibani: no. nobody here. it's all robots | 00:23 |
| BrainBug | ashaibani, no none here:p | 00:23 |
| ashaibani | rofl | 00:23 |
| ashaibani | finally | 00:23 |
| BrainBug | lol | 00:23 |
| ashaibani | well | 00:23 |
| Xorothal | unop_: no I mean I should have asked google | 00:24 |
| michael__ | ahaibani: nope im not here at all =P | 00:24 |
| ashaibani | im having extreme problems with ubuntu. same problems im having with ubuntu that made me leave windows | 00:24 |
| linxeh | ashaibani: finally?!? give people a chance. it can take several seconds for messages to go backwards and forwards over the globe... | 00:24 |
| linxeh | ashaibani: what problems? | 00:24 |
| ashaibani | no i mean finally i get it working | 00:24 |
| michael__ | ahaibani: well give us specifics | 00:24 |
| unop_ | Xorothal, ohh yea, sometimes google is better, faster, easier to work with than actual humans :) | 00:24 |
| ashaibani | cuase my irc wasnt working for a while | 00:24 |
| ignotus | hi, how can I set an enviromental variable in all of my system (ESPEAKER)? I log in through gdm | 00:24 |
| djjd | http://youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ Anyone know what effect that is when the window gets closed it is like the fire plugin but looks like it is multicolored | 00:24 |
| linxeh | ignotus: /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile | 00:25 |
| Zelta | nikrud: Are you here? | 00:25 |
| ignotus | linxeh: thanks | 00:25 |
| linxeh | ignotus: or /etc/profile.d/ | 00:25 |
| unop_ | ignotus, errm, edit your ~/.bashrc and use a line like. export ESPEAKER="blah" | 00:25 |
| linxeh | ignotus: I would go with that last one | 00:25 |
| linxeh | unop_: presumably he meant all users though | 00:25 |
| ashaibani | well...for one...my the bars ontop of windows randomly disappears. it cant find the driver for my tv card. my panels always delete themselves when i restart and go back to how i didnt want them. there is freez time when i use firefox. amarok constantly freezes, when i change songs. | 00:25 |
| unop_ | linxeh, editing the system profiles might be undesirable -- other users might not like his preference .. and editing ~/.bashrc is IMO safer | 00:26 |
| linxeh | ashaibani: maybe you have broken RAM or a broken motherboard if Windows did the same things | 00:26 |
| linxeh | unop_: true - but he did say "in all of my system" | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | windows froze | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | a lot | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | actually no | 00:26 |
| ignotus | linxeh unop_ thank you, but will .bashrc run if I don't open a terminal? | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | ubuntu is worst then my windows | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | honestly | 00:26 |
| unop_ | ignotus, yes | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | and i hate 2 say it | 00:26 |
| michael__ | ahaibani: hmmm tv card could be the driver, firefox im not sure of as for the bars thats weird | 00:26 |
| ignotus | unop_: superb, thanks:) | 00:26 |
| ashaibani | well. i just said...it cant find my tv card driver | 00:27 |
| ashaibani | im actually gonna go back to windows | 00:27 |
| unop_ | linxeh, i think he could have meant "across all my graphical applications" .. but, i wouldnt make a bet on that | 00:27 |
| ashaibani | i thought going to ubuntu will really set it | 00:27 |
| ashaibani | and make it final on what OS im using | 00:27 |
| djjd | http://youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ Anyone know what effect that is when the window gets closed it is like the fire plugin but looks like it is multicolored? | 00:27 |
| michael__ | ahaibani: we;; nowyou begin a search for the driver thats supported and will work through linux | 00:27 |
| ashaibani | i did | 00:27 |
| ashaibani | i looked forever | 00:27 |
| ashaibani | to find the driver | 00:28 |
| adamb | Is there a way to manually point an mx record to somewhere, like I would do in a hosts file.. for testing email. Anyone know? | 00:28 |

| pgn | hi there, I don't know how use the cube, must I set 4 virtual desktops ? | 00:28 |

| ashaibani | click | 00:28 |
| AVFC1 | I've now found something saying it might be a repository change, anyone know? | 00:28 |
| ashaibani | Alt + F4. then type CCSM | 00:29 |
| ashaibani | it will take you to CompizFusion (thats if you installed it) | 00:29 |
| michael__ | pgn: yes | 00:29 |
| pgn | thanks michael | 00:29 |
| ashaibani | and then edit your cube options | 00:29 |

| ashaibani | well can you solve. this....I want it so when i drag my window to the right, instead of putting it on the next desktop i wnat it on my second monitor | 00:30 |
| AVFC1 | i uninstalled compiz as it said in a thread, but now i can't re-install it. Thats the problem :\ | 00:30 |
| nadar | hi | 00:30 |
| Big-E | I believe it has something to do with flash, but every so often my CPU usage jumps to 30-40% | 00:30 |

| nadar | is there also a german ubunru-chan on freenode? (need that for a friend) | 00:30 |
| ignotus | another question: ubuntu is very slow on my old system, the previous stable ubuntu was a lot faster, is it possible to quickly try out xfce? (by some apt-get install'ing) | 00:30 |
| unop_ | nadar, #ubuntu-de | 00:30 |
| nadar | unop_, thx :) | 00:31 |
| ashaibani | so no1 can solve my problems..not even fourms | 00:31 |
| adamb | unop_: so the answer is no? | 00:31 |
| fr0nk_ | how do i get the nice value of a app w/o using top? | 00:31 |
| BixBox | can anyone solve my problem? | 00:31 |
| fr0nk_ | i only need the nice value aka niceof `pidof $app` or something ;) | 00:31 |
| unop_ | ignotus, install the xubuntu-desktop package and xfce is pulled in, you can then select an XFCE session at the login window | 00:31 |
| ignotus | unop_: excellent, thank you very much | 00:32 |
| unop_ | adamb, yes, the answer is no. | 00:32 |
| mehmet | is there a site | 00:33 |
| tag | So, not paying attention to what I've purchased, I've recently realized my laptop is 64 bit. I'm wondering, is there a clean upgrade path from 32-bit ubuntu to 64-bit ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| ashaibani | alright. im leaving ubuntu | 00:33 |
| ashaibani | the community isnt helpfuol | 00:33 |
| Flannel | tag: Unfortunately not. | 00:33 |
| ashaibani | even windows xp community | 00:33 |
| ashaibani | is better then this | 00:33 |
| tag | Flannel: is there a usable upgrade path? | 00:33 |
| AVFC1 | bye then | 00:33 |
| ashaibani | atlaest they get things done | 00:33 |
| Flannel | tag: No, 32->64bit (and v.v.) is a reinstall | 00:34 |
| AVFC1 | leave and stop complaining if it's that bad | 00:34 |
| tag | Flannel: So, do you know of some reasonable 'install-over' instructions for a debian based distribution? | 00:34 |
| tag | shouldn't all the 32bit applications work on 64 bit linux, anyway? | 00:35 |
| Flannel | tag: You mean besides just popping in the CD? sure. | 00:35 |
| michael__ | w00t now that i fixed my audio problem i think this os blows windows out of the water ("in a world without walls who needs windows") <forget were i read that but its a good quote | 00:35 |
| tag | Flannel: Well, I mean, keeping all the stuff I have installed and so on... | 00:35 |
| Flannel | tag: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a bunch of stuff sans CD. Keeping all your stuff. do you have a separate home partition? | 00:35 |
| tag | Then I can do some kind of massive-meta-64bit apt based update | 00:35 |
| Flannel | !cloning | tag | 00:36 |
| ubotu | tag: 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 | 00:36 |
| AVFC1 | noob question, but would the latest ubuntu mean I am on gutsy? | 00:36 |
| level09 | does ubuntu installer usually get stuck on "unpacking Tar" message ? | 00:36 |
| Flannel | tag: that'll work regardless of the distro (since its just package names) | 00:36 |
| tag | Flannel: Yes, but I want to keep my apps too. | 00:36 |
| Flannel | AVFC1: Gutsy (7.10) is the latest, yes | 00:36 |
| djjd | AVF yes 7.10 | 00:36 |
| AVFC1 | thanks | 00:36 |
| icesword | AVFC1, yaaa,uname -a | 00:36 |
| tag | even the closed source ones | 00:36 |
| tag | like cisco vpn | 00:36 |
| tylerflick | Anyone had any luck with Totem and the Youtube plugin? | 00:36 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, maybe this .. ps -o %n%p | grep -i $1 | awk '{print $1}' | 00:36 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, $1 being the pid you want to grep | 00:36 |
| Flannel | tag: You'll have to reinstall them, and find 64bit versions for them. Or run them in a32bit chroot. | 00:37 |
| Flannel | !chroot | tag | 00:37 |
| michael__ | 8.10 intrepid ibex<not sure of that name> doesnt come out till october | 00:37 |
| ubotu | tag: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 00:37 |
| dako3256 | how do I get my cups server to start? | 00:37 |
| Flannel | michael__: and 8.04 will be out at the end of this month | 00:37 |
| tylerflick | yeah but will it fix all the flash issues? | 00:38 |
| tag | Flannel: ugh | 00:38 |
| michael__ | flannel: do you think update is going to be allright or will i have to pull a fresh install? | 00:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | tylerflick: what flash issues? | 00:38 |
| Flannel | michael__: Upgrades are fine, yes. | 00:38 |
| tylerflick | Flash crashing FF on 64 bit | 00:38 |
| adamb | Is there a way I can display mtr results in semi real time, on browser with php? mtr or top, anything along those lines | 00:38 |
| michael__ | flannel: sweet cause i have and unsupported wireless card and its a bitch to get working | 00:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh, well, i don't do 64bit for many reasons, flash issues being one fo them.. not worth the hassle | 00:38 |
| hexoroid | anybody got named running localy ? | 00:39 |
| tylerflick | Yeah, not only flash, but Google Earth, Wine anything cool | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | pretty much | 00:39 |
| tylerflick | It all seems to crash on 64 bit | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | tylerflick: cuz most of it isn't 64bit native. | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | if you'd ahve just installed 32bit, or researched 64bit a little better, you'd be fine | 00:40 |
| meshmesh | hi | 00:40 |
| tylerflick | IndyGunFreak: yeah but with 64 bit being the future of modern os's I would expect a little more support | 00:40 |
| ignotus | when I double click on a movie file in nautilus it starts the totem movie player. I would like to change that to MPlayer, how can I do that? | 00:40 |
| unocrash | meshmesh: Hi | 00:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | tylerflick: you keyed in on it, the *future*.. not the present | 00:40 |
| jaffarkelshac | ignotus, right click and choose other application | 00:40 |
| Bob_Sagot | I need help concerning a HDD that wont mount | 00:40 |
| ignotus | jaffarkelshac: checking | 00:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | there's still a lot of apps,etc that do not work in 64bit, as you've found out. | 00:41 |
| unocrash | !hi | meshmesh | 00:41 |
| ubotu | meshmesh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:41 |
| tylerflick | IndyGunFreak: The future has to start sometime | 00:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | the "latest greatest", isn't always the most stable | 00:41 |
| michael__ | tylerflick: thats like saying windows is a dying os why not have more major companies have driver support for linux | 00:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | tylerflick: indeed, but its obviously not right now.. 3min on google woulda told you that | 00:41 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: thanks but this doesn't work: ps -o %n%p outputs 2 lines: | 00:41 |
| tylerflick | Lol well I wish | 00:41 |

| level09 | my ubuntu installer is stuck at 40 % is this normal ? | 00:42 |
| AVFC1 | Well i maneged to sort out compiz, but the cube wont work for me. I'm using the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Arrow but it isnt working properly, just switching workstations in an Alt+Tab like way :S | 00:42 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, right, so you have two PIDs, what do you want me to do about that? :) | 00:42 |
| tylerflick | I have a dream. That one day little 32 bit apps and 64 bit apps will play together nicely | 00:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | level09: lmao, no its not normal | 00:42 |
| unocrash | level09: R U installing: | 00:42 |

| adamb | Anyone know of a way to display realtime traceroute results to browser with popen? | 00:43 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, maybe i am not understanding you right -- perhaps you need to explain more about that there | 00:43 |
| level09 | "installing the system" | 00:43 |
| unocrash | ok | 00:43 |
| tylerflick | I'm going with i386 8.04 on my new lappy | 00:43 |
| level09 | the base system | 00:43 |
| level09 | :D | 00:43 |
| AVFC1 | When you say mess with is michael_...? Impressing the correct buttons | 00:43 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: ps -o %n%p | grep -i $1 | awk '{print $1}' greps in second instance for the name i want the nice-value of (vmware-vmx, for example). in the data it recieves from ps there is no application name grep could grep for ;-) | 00:43 |
| level09 | should I interrupt and retry ? | 00:44 |
| tylerflick | I'm on 7.10 | 00:44 |
| michael__ | avfc1: its not just pushing the correct ones its actually going in and changing the prefrences of each thing you press to make it work correctly =P | 00:44 |
| unocrash | level09: I haven't experience with server yet, though I hear it has no GUI. why do want server if it's running over XP? | 00:44 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, and you didnt use a numeric PID there not a processes name .. | 00:44 |
| Bob_Sagot | Using 7.10, I cannot get Ubuntu to see a HDD I just plugged in again | 00:44 |
| icesword | unocrash, would you mind tell me what irc client you use | 00:44 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, ps blah .. | grep -i $PID | awk .. | 00:44 |
| unocrash | icesword: Pidgin | 00:45 |

| icesword | yaaaa,i see | 00:45 |
| level09 | learning, I ordered a slicehost server and want to learn how to install hosting stuff on it | 00:45 |
| unocrash | icesword: Why? | 00:45 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: passing the script a pid doesn't wrk either | 00:45 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, if you want to grep for names -- then you need .. ps a -o %n%a | grep -i $PROCESSNAME | awk .. | 00:45 |
| jaffarkelshac | tylerflick, totem youtube plugin? | 00:45 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: frank@Lysistrata {~} $ niceof `pidof vmware-vmx` | 00:45 |
| fr0nk_ | frank@Lysistrata {~} $ pidof vmware-vmx | 00:45 |
| fr0nk_ | 1211 | 00:45 |
| unocrash | icesword: It's Pidgin. Why do you need to know? | 00:46 |
| icesword | unocrash, i find this,people who use pidgin their real name all are purple,and for chatzilla ,is new now know how | 00:46 |
| tylerflick | jaffarkelshac: yes it's a youtube browser for Totem | 00:46 |
| Starnestommy | icesword: in chatzilla it can be changed. | 00:46 |
| unocrash | huh? | 00:46 |
| icesword | hehehe | 00:46 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, try adding the 'a' option to ps -- ps a -o %n%p | grep .. | 00:46 |

| unop_ | phs5556, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 00:47 |
| tylerflick | jaffarkelshac: I have yet to get it to work though | 00:47 |
| phs5556 | thanks | 00:47 |
| unocrash | jay: is it KDE4? | 00:47 |
| unocrash | icesword: wat do u mean? | 00:47 |
| michael__ | unocrash: yes it is | 00:47 |
| jay | Unocrash: I believe so. | 00:47 |
| michael__ | unocrash, jay: i ran that for a while it was a real difficult time | 00:48 |
| icesword | unocrash, nothing,i thought why many people use purple as their real name,now ii knew | 00:48 |
| unocrash | jay: Visit kubuntu channel | 00:48 |
| jaffarkelshac | i never heard of it, i thought it was a plugin to watch you tube. tylerflick | 00:48 |
| jay | Thanks! | 00:48 |
| unocrash | mine's blue | 00:48 |
| shinichizio | Hey #ubuntu. I'm trying to figure out how to run an app that's in the 'Games' folder (under the Applications dropdown) through the terminal instead. How do I figure this out? | 00:48 |
| tylerflick | it is a pluggin to watch youtube, but it also has a built in browser for it. plus it doesn't crash like flash does. jaffarkelshac | 00:48 |
| michael__ | mine looks grey to me but im using xchat | 00:48 |
| icesword | just right click your name | 00:48 |
| ignotus | jaffarkelshac: thank, it works!:) | 00:48 |
| ignotus | thank you* | 00:49 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: ps a -0 %n%p doesn't give me all processes | 00:49 |
| pgn | sorry but I don't found where it's possible to add virtual desktops, any help ? | 00:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | tylerflick: why don't you just install 32bit? | 00:49 |
| jaffarkelshac | tylerflick, so thats why my firefox keeps crashing on youtube | 00:49 |
| michael__ | pgn: go to the bottom right corner right click | 00:49 |
| jaffarkelshac | ignotus, no problem | 00:49 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, i dunno how you got -0 there? it's -o not -0 | 00:49 |
| Starnestommy | pgn: right click on the desktop switcher, select "preferences"? | 00:49 |
| tylerflick | IndyGunFreak. because It would mean a clean install and I'd figure I would just tuff it out through the patches | 00:50 |
| michael__ | pgn: prefrences number of workspaces = 4 | 00:50 |
| jaffarkelshac | ignotus, peverell? | 00:50 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: oh sorry, mistyped it in irrsi but on the bash i used -o ;) | 00:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, then you really have nothing to complain about | 00:50 |
| pgn | I just can choose raw and columns | 00:50 |
| tylerflick | jaffarkelshac: correct, it's the adobe flash at work | 00:50 |
| michael__ | pgn: mak sure all the workspaces are on the same row | 00:50 |
| tylerflick | IndyGuyFreak: I've just made to much progress to throw it all away, besides the 32bit 8.04 is going on my new dell lappy | 00:51 |
| tylerflick | afk | 00:51 |
| alan_m | 20 days to go tylerflick :) | 00:51 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, well, there's obviously something missing then -- anyway, use some option of ps (man ps) to include nice outputs too, then grep for what you want | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | tylerflick: i don't know i guess i'm a backup freak, i know how all my programs settings are, etc. | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | so i can reinstall in no time | 00:52 |
| icesword | unop_, i suppose it is 23:52,there,right | 00:52 |
| shinichizio | So, I seem to have figured this out myself in the time it took me to Google the related subjects. I'll just scoot out. | 00:52 |
| unop_ | icesword, sorry? | 00:52 |
| unop_ | icesword, did you mean time | 00:52 |
| icesword | unop_, yaaaaa | 00:52 |

| IndyGunFreak | if you say so | 00:53 |
| tylerflick | alan_m. i'm definatly counting down | 00:53 |
| alan_m | tylerflick, how long have you been using it? | 00:54 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, have a look at this, it has to have what you want in it... ps ax -o %n%p%a | 00:54 |
| JPSman | ping test | 00:54 |
| tylerflick | alan_m: about a month and a half now | 00:54 |
| icesword | alan_m, how do you know | 00:54 |
| JPSman | about how long does "sudo make modules" take? | 00:54 |
| tylerflick | JPSman:not long | 00:54 |
| JPSman | tylerflick: 30 mins? | 00:54 |
| icesword | alan_m, http://geotool.servehttp.com/ | 00:54 |
| tylerflick | JPSman: depends on the size | 00:55 |
| alan_m | icesword, i just took what you gave me and converted it to standard civilian format heh | 00:55 |
| JPSman | tylerflick: by any chance does ubuntu restart once it's done? | 00:55 |
| darknessfall | ... | 00:55 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: i got it! :-) | 00:56 |
| tylerflick | JPSman: not to my knowledge | 00:56 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, right, what was it? | 00:56 |
| fr0nk_ | unop_: if you're interested: frank@Lysistrata {~} $ ps -eo %n%p | grep `pidof vmware-vmx` | 00:56 |
| fr0nk_ | -10 1211 | 00:56 |

| alan_m | Shubbar, have you changed anything lately as far as settings go? | 00:56 |
| croSmiley | Is there a way to automaticly close programs that are not being used for some time? | 00:56 |
| croSmiley | Maybe an application or something that would take care about that... | 00:56 |
| aCiD2 | Hi, I'm having a bit of an odd problem during setup. It comes up with the boot menu, but when I choose begin setup (even with safe graphics mode) my monitor loses input... | 00:57 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, you must be careful tho -- `pidof vmware-vmx` can be any number that your ps command's output can contain | 00:57 |
| aCiD2 | any ideas? My graphics card is a GeForce 8800 GTS 512 | 00:57 |
| cyberpass2 | hey all... | 00:57 |
| cyberpass2 | i got a quick question... | 00:57 |
| Shubbar | since i installed ubuntu, could get it running for a complete day | 00:57 |
| tylerflick | JPSman: now you can recompile them | 00:57 |
| cyberpass2 | i need to get wifi working... | 00:57 |
| fr0nk_ | s/`pidof vmware-vmx` && echo "ps -eo %n%p | grep $1" /usr/sbin/niceof && chmod +x `which niceof` | 00:57 |
| fr0nk_ | damnit :( | 00:57 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, it's best if you position your ps output by fields and extract the field you are interested in | 00:57 |
| alan_m | !enter | cyberpass2 | 00:57 |
| ubotu | cyberpass2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:57 |
| cyberpass2 | how do i get wifi working from ubuntu server edition? its on a laptop pcmcia and wifi is my only option for network connectivity | 00:58 |
| Shubbar | alan_m, how can i troubleshoot abrupt shutdowns? | 00:58 |
| alan_m | Shubbar, you can check log files by going to system->administration-System log | 00:58 |
| macd | aCiD2, download and try the alternate install CD, this should allow you to install, then configure your gfx card | 00:58 |
| icesword | alan_m, on that page,select map session,then post your ip,see if it give you the right place you live,it is very clear ,even which street | 00:58 |
| Jimbo | Is it usual to have to manually mount my windows partitions when using the liveCD? | 00:58 |
| aCiD2 | Ok | 00:58 |
| darknessfall | hello | 00:59 |
| tylerflick | Jimbo: no | 00:59 |
| unop_ | fr0nk_, what i mean is what if `pidof vmware..` returns something less than 20 ? :) | 00:59 |
| phs5556 | how do i start synaptic packet manager? | 00:59 |
| shekk | yoh im getting undefined references to __stack_chk_fail when rebuilding my kernel with gresec | 00:59 |
| pgn | Sorry, I am maybe stupid but I set Columns : 2 and rows : 2, but only 2 of the 4 desktops are working. | 00:59 |
| shekk | where should i start | 00:59 |
| shekk | to find out what is causing this? | 00:59 |
| alan_m | icesword, what are you giving me this for, to prove my ip location? | 00:59 |
| tylerflick | phs5556: system>administration>synaptic | 01:00 |
| genii | phs5556: Did you want to install programs or to monitor network traffic? | 01:00 |
| macd | shekk, Id join #ubuntu-kernel .... | 01:00 |
| icesword | alan_m, no,if it is right | 01:00 |
| icesword | i want check | 01:00 |
| icesword | not for me, | 01:00 |
| Jimbo | im using the beta liveCD at the moment and it mounts my USB drive ok, but i have to manually do the windows partition | 01:00 |
| tylerflick | Jimbo: I haven't messed around with the Live Cd that much | 01:00 |
| alan_m | icesword, it pulled me up instantly without problems | 01:01 |
| alan_m | icesword, even gave a picture of my house :/ | 01:01 |
| icesword | alan_m, ehheee,it is so accurate,not for mine | 01:01 |
| Jimbo | I'm just trying to work out if this is an issue I should report or something that is pretty normal. I tried the Xubuntu beta and that was giving me problems with mounting as well so... | 01:01 |
| Shubbar | alan_m, i will check the logs everytime it restarts | 01:02 |
| Alan | Argh, why do people have the same name as me? And why isn't my IRC client intelligent? | 01:02 |
| alan_m | icesword, well, its close, it gave me my location which is close enough, but....i dont live on that exact street it pointed out :) | 01:02 |
| alan_m | Alan, i wondered the same thing when i went to register this name to nickserv :) | 01:02 |
| icesword | alan_m, yaaaa,it is accucate to some extent | 01:02 |
| Alan | alan_m, :P | 01:02 |
| Shubbar | i also keep losing wireless connection | 01:03 |
| alan_m | Alan, you stole the name before i could grab it, so...you on my people i wanna poke in the arm list hehe, just kidding :) | 01:03 |
| icesword | alan_m, it said me in beijing,lol | 01:03 |
| alan_m | icesword, well, it...came really close on mine | 01:03 |
| shekk | anyone ever gotten ttysnoop to work with sshd? | 01:03 |
| icesword | hehehe | 01:03 |
| alan_m | icesword, so its not totally acurate, close for me. | 01:04 |
| Alan | alan_m, :P I only got it because i noticed it hadn't been used in 2 years, and its so much hassle having to ghost people all the time :P | 01:04 |
| icesword | if it is accurate,just imagine what might happen | 01:04 |
| alan_m | Alan, yeah, i saw you grabbed it not long after i came to this network i said dangit...imma bop this guy when i meet em...:) | 01:04 |
| cyberpass2 | how can i reset up network in ubuntu server edition after the install is done? | 01:05 |
| Alan | alan_m, :P good luck with that :) | 01:05 |

| unop_ | cyberpass2, you'll need to use the command line. use these two:- ifconfig and /etc/network/interfaces -- check their manpages, man ifconfig and man interfaces | 01:06 |

| smallfry | how would i make it so a seperate hard drive gets mounted automatically at start up? | 01:11 |
| DBO | smallfry, add it to your /etc/fstab | 01:11 |
| smallfry | DBO:how would i do that | 01:11 |
| DBO | !fstab | 01:11 |

| AVFC1 | Is there any reason why everything would be much brighter now I am on ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| sinologic | AVFC1 i hav ethe same problem | 01:13 |
| corry | hello i need to remove all references to virtualbox ose at boot so i can get HAL to function again virtualbox ose is already uninstalled but boot keeps trying to find vboxdrv and virtualbox host networking which messes up hal | 01:13 |
| AVFC1 | i was looking at a pic and thoght, why the hell has that blue become aqua?! :S | 01:13 |
| Dr_willis | corry, did you remove it with the --purge option? | 01:13 |
| sinologic | AVFC1 do you have compiz installed? | 01:14 |
| AVFC1 | yeah | 01:14 |
| corry | Dr_willis no just used completely uninstall via Synaptic when i finally figured out what the problem was | 01:14 |
| Smegzor2 | what is the console command to start the gnome menu editor? | 01:15 |
| Erickj92 | openmovieeditor is crashing sending out this message in terminal: Illegal instruction (core dumped) what is going on? | 01:15 |
| sinologic | i'm not sure, but it's possible that the theme you've choiced made the acqua effect | 01:15 |
| Dr_willis | corry, perhaps reinstall, uninstall with the purge option. | 01:15 |
| sinologic | i've the same problme swhit clearlooks | 01:15 |
| sinologic | clearlooks theme | 01:15 |

| Dr_willis | corry, or you could manually blacklist the modules in question, and disable any services you think ar starting up for it | 01:16 |
| AVFC1 | its not an aqua effect, that was just an example, that a normal blue looks aqua-ish | 01:16 |

| IndyGunFreak | issam: flash doesn't work with the stable version of Opera, but it does work int he beta, if you download it | 01:25 |

| issam | ah ok thanks | 01:26 |
| DistroJockey | warriorforgod: This might be worth a look: http://www.cgsecurity.org | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | kindofabuzz, remove the gdm service, if you want the gui, just login and use 'startx' command - is the easy way. it really isent going to matter much if you have no monitor and start gdm. other then sucking down some memory. | 01:26 |
| MasterMel | starnestommy: ok and where can i find the restricted driver manager? | 01:26 |

| level09 | nothing happened | 01:34 |

| dek | Dr_willis: i am doing just that :P | 01:35 |
| level09 | kindofabuzz: echo $SHELL outputs nothing | 01:35 |

| IndyGunFreak | AVFC1: because someone didn't know what they were talking about, i coudl have told you it would say that. | 01:39 |
| Lifeisfunny | ahh, is it installed? | 01:39 |
| level09 | xFlipx: I didn't , I was just wondering why one of them not working | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | xFlipx, :) dont forget 'alias cd..='cd ..' | 01:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | look and see what exact device you have installed | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | not working vs. not existing. :) | 01:39 |
| xFlipx | however, as mentioned if you typed $SHELL into your term and nothing came back you're probably hosed because your shell will most likely not support apt-get. | 01:40 |
| level09 | not working because not existing :D | 01:40 |
| AVFC1 | where can i look for that? | 01:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | and see how it identifies your graphics device, do not paste the whole thing here. | 01:40 |
| unocrash | XGL vs. Compiz/Beryl | 01:40 |

| Lifeisfunny | kraypius, #2) gpg --export --armor <KEY> | sudo apt-key add - | 01:52 |

| unocrash | jk | 01:53 |
| decay | unocrash: says it can't be found | 01:53 |
| Lifeisfunny | kraypius, I'm not sure what that means | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | Frogger626, that pendrivelinux site often has customized iso images, or other tools to make it easier. I got gOS on a thumbdrive :) | 01:53 |
| xFlipx | ramcosca: video jumps? | 01:53 |
| unocrash | decay: Compiz isn't installed then. | 01:53 |
| level09 | whats a good place to get an open ID ? | 01:53 |
| kraypius | :( | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | ccsm is not installed by default. | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | !ccsm | 01:53 |

| decay | unocrash: synaptic lists it as installed | 01:54 |
| Lifeisfunny | kraypius, do an update from the terminal sudo apt-get update | 01:54 |
| Frogger626 | Dr_willis: Went there to install the pclinuxos, didn't work. If you can find an .iso that I can extract to a thumbdrive, I'm good. | 01:54 |
| ramcosca | Yeah, eg. YouTube. I see one frame, then one 15 frames down, then ... | 01:54 |
| kraypius | lifeisfunny, thats what im doing | 01:54 |
| unocrash | then go in to terminal and type compizconfig-settings-manger | 01:54 |
| xFlipx | and ramcosca left | 01:55 |
| xFlipx | :( | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | Frogger626, theres 2 ways to 'install;' to a thumbdrive, theres the 'make the TD. boot like a live cd' then theres the 'do a normal install to a thumbdrive' - I followed the gOS docs at that site to get a usb-liuve-cd-type install on my thumbdrive | 01:55 |
| decay | not found | 01:55 |
| unocrash | hmmm.... | 01:55 |
| xFlipx | Dr_willis: don't you need a "bootable" thumb drive I.E. one of those cruizer drives? | 01:55 |
| xFlipx | or something of the like? | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | xFlipx, i dont think so. | 01:56 |
| Frogger626 | I have a cruzer micro 4gb | 01:56 |
| caesa1 | what is going to succeed Hardy? | 01:56 |
| unocrash | choose applications/add-remove software | 01:56 |
| xFlipx | that should work then | 01:56 |
| xFlipx | Frogger626: | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | xFlipx, that one with the silly cdrom thing built in? | 01:56 |

| IndyGunFreak | mostly due to not paying attention, more than not knowing what i was doing | 02:07 |
| spydon | icesword: could you access it? | 02:07 |
| Lifeisfunny | kraypius, and do another sudo apt-get update | 02:07 |
| icesword | noooooooooo | 02:07 |
| xFlipx | I can honestly say I've never done that | 02:07 |
| ramcosca | Ouch, wrong drive? Ditto. | 02:08 |
| xFlipx | IndyGunFreak: I believe it | 02:08 |
| Frogger626 | *sigh* | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | xFlipx: lol, give it time, you will.. | 02:08 |
| xFlipx | no way | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | i bonked an external backup on accident..lol | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | thank goodness i keep 2 | 02:08 |
| nikrud | my gutsy install. doh | 02:08 |
| xFlipx | ouch | 02:08 |
| Frogger626 | Dr_willis: I got past that step and I'm working on 7, if that helps. | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya.. | 02:08 |
| xFlipx | I picked up a mybook and dumped 7 years of usenet downloading onto it | 02:09 |
| ramcosca | Oh my | 02:09 |
| shArk | unocrash: im looking for a file in which there's an expression.. the problem is that i dont know which file is it.. i just know in which folder.. can you help me pls ?:p | 02:09 |
| xFlipx | I love the thing | 02:09 |
| nikrud | but, thanks for /home and sbackup ;) | 02:09 |
| ramcosca | to quote someone I dont really like... | 02:09 |
| ramcosca | "Developers, developers, developers!" | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | xFlipx: i bought 2 500gig drives on sale at TD($89 each), and bought enclosures for both.; | 02:09 |
| Frogger626 | Dr_willis, the drive is pre-partitioned. This could be a problem. | 02:09 |
| xFlipx | ohhh nice | 02:09 |
| xFlipx | that's CHEAP | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | yup.. | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | i shoulda bought 3 | 02:10 |
| xFlipx | no kidding lol | 02:10 |
| nikrud | shArk grep <expression> <files> (you can use * to search all files in the dir) | 02:10 |
| ramcosca | worked wonderful | 02:10 |
| Frogger626 | For pre-partitioned drives, I just delete all the partitions... Right? | 02:10 |
| Frogger626 | *just* | 02:10 |
| xFlipx | those cruzers hold a partition | 02:10 |
| nikrud | Frogger626 yep | 02:10 |
| shArk | nikrud: omg.. thx ;) | 02:10 |
| loser | hey does wine ussually have alot of lag | 02:10 |
| xFlipx | for the bootable deal - you can trash it | 02:10 |
| Frogger626 | Ok, here goes... Guess I don't have to worry about a BSOD... | 02:11 |
| chris0 | loser: depends on the program.... | 02:11 |
| c0Ld | Would it be possible to allow Ubuntu to install to all of my free space and then re-size its partition again after installation to allow more space for my other partitions again? | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | Cruzers have those u3 things? I made it a point to NOT buy anything that has that u3 stuff | 02:11 |
| ramcosca | I get GSOD on my Mac, kernel panics. Tux gets em too right? | 02:11 |
| xFlipx | c0Ld: are you trying to dual boot? | 02:11 |
| shArk | nikrud: i must have forgot because the headache or something :D | 02:11 |
| nikrud | c0Ld look for the manual partitioning, you can set it up as you like | 02:11 |
| Frogger626 | Dr_willis, yes, yes it does have U3 | 02:11 |
| xFlipx | ramcosca: no | 02:11 |
| loser | well yeah i just installed it, it seems to run slow should i get an updated version as aposed to the package provided with ubuntu | 02:11 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, yes it is , but you 'll need to use the live cd to resize after wards | 02:12 |
| c0Ld | xFlipx: Yes, but I don't need nor want Ubuntu to use all of my freed space. | 02:12 |
| chris0 | Dr_willis: yeah, but I've got one. Just delete U3 and it's nice | 02:12 |
| ramcosca | Another question. | 02:12 |
| E-werd | Cackette: your best bet is either Crossover Office (there is a trial) or attempting to do so with wine | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | Frogger626, good luck. :) that device will show up as 2 devices in the fdisk -l output. | 02:12 |
| E-werd | wow, that is later than I thought | 02:12 |
| c0Ld | Pelo: Does the liveCD have another partitioner on it somewhere? I've honestly never even looked. | 02:12 |
| xFlipx | c0Ld: right, on all of my installs I've been able to use specific space | 02:12 |
| E-werd | woops :-[ | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | chris0, you did? heh - i wasent able to do that to my friends u3 disk.. | 02:12 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, in the admin menu | 02:12 |
| xFlipx | partition manager starts in live and install, right? | 02:13 |
| chris0 | Dr_willis: look around on portableapps.com. they tell you how to do it. | 02:13 |
| xFlipx | I believe it does | 02:13 |
| nikrud | Frogger626 I found a utility I could run in windows to remove the u3 stuff, get the whole stick back. | 02:13 |
| === Cosmosan is now known as Cosmo-san | ||
| c0Ld | xFlipx: It's only allowing me to install to ALL of my freed space unless I manually partition it all, so I'm figuring it'll probably end up easier to just let it do its thing and re-size it again when it's done. | 02:13 |
| Pelo | xFlipx, you can access gpartd from the admin menu on hte live cd , and from the installer selecting manual partitionning | 02:13 |
| sarah___ | hey guys, does anyone have a cool "conky" config? | 02:13 |
| xFlipx | c0Ld: do you have a unused unformated partition? | 02:13 |
| Lifeisfunny | sarah___, screenlets has one | 02:13 |
| xFlipx | if not in windows you can use partition magic to free up some unused space | 02:14 |
| spydon | icesword: now then? | 02:14 |
| Lifeisfunny | dark with an ubuntu logo in it | 02:14 |
| zloog_ | Hi, how can I set the contents of a variable in a script to be the output of a program? (the program is volname ) | 02:14 |
| nikrud | Frogger626 http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ | 02:14 |
| sarah___ | what is screenlets? | 02:14 |
| c0Ld | xFlipx: No, but I'm in the LiveCD right now and would be able to make one -- but I've never used gparted before. | 02:14 |
| xFlipx | I highly recommend creating different drives - so you can tell them apart and not format them | 02:14 |
| icesword | spydon, i am scared? | 02:14 |
| Frogger626 | PROBLEM! Terminal won't recognize unmount | 02:14 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, use the manual partitionning , it's easy just put 3 partiton , 5-10 gig for / in ext3, 2xram (2gig max) for swap , and what ever you want for /home | 02:14 |
| spydon | icesword: why? :P | 02:14 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, umount | 02:14 |
| nikrud | Frogger626 umount | 02:14 |

| c0Ld | Does anyone know how I can make a new 30gb or so partition out of my free space using GParted and just install to that instead of using the installer to do it? | 02:16 |
| icesword | spydon, what is address | 02:16 |
| c0Ld | xFlipx: XP pro | 02:16 |
| Lifeisfunny | pelo, thanks, and for your benefit I will also refrain from run on sentences | 02:16 |

| level09 | thanks | 02:17 |
| histo | !install > c0Ld, c0Ld Read the private message from ubotu. | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | c0Ld, fire up gparted , resize existingpartitions leaving a unallocated space at the end of thehard drive. tell installer to use that unallocated space | 02:17 |
| xFlipx | c0Ld: I've never used gparted either so I'm afraid I cannot help with that, but I have suggestions if you'd like them | 02:17 |
| nikrud | IndyGunFreak you got 20 in?!! | 02:17 |
| Pelo | IndyGunFreak, tax season ? | 02:17 |
| xFlipx | or listen to the doc | 02:17 |
| Frogger626 | Is there a way to safe-remove a portable drive? | 02:17 |
| Frogger626 | or does it do it automatically? | 02:17 |
| xFlipx | doc's gotit | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | Frogger626, unmount it. | 02:17 |
| spydon | right click on it Frogger626 | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | nikro: lmao, hardly.. i worked 18hrs 1 day..lol | 02:17 |
| nikrud | Frogger626 if you do it with umount, it's safe. Or, right click it on the desktop and select eject | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: no, natives were restless | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | Frogger626, that is what the 'safely remove' stuff does. | 02:17 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, just setp back to the desktop , and select the gnome partiton editor from the system > admin menu and make your partition there | 02:17 |
| loser | histo: than how would you describe it, do you have any wine experience through ubuntu that could help me out | 02:18 |
| icesword | spydon, yep,it works | 02:18 |

| IndyGunFreak | it was cool | 02:19 |
| c0Ld | Pelo: I've never used GParted, so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with it -- It does show how much free space I have, but I'm not sure how to partition 30gb out of it. | 02:19 |
| level09 | chris0: thanks | 02:19 |
| chris0 | np | 02:19 |
| * Pelo reminds IndyGunFreak of /notice | 02:19 | |

| sarah___ | hey guys, is there a wireless script i can write for my ubuntu to auto connect to my wireless access point? | 02:19 |
| b4l74z4r | can you run more than one wine app at once? | 02:19 |
| c0Ld | Pelo: Yes | 02:19 |
| Dr_willis | c0Ld, free space is not the same as 'unallocated' space. | 02:19 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, right click on the empty space in the disk diagram at the top and select add a partiton , or new partiton | 02:20 |
| baudelaire | Hey Guys! I have a quick question. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. Do you guys have any productivity tips that you think would help me? I already use Gnome-Do. You guys have any other ideas? :-) :-P | 02:20 |
| tarkus | do you guys think that linux will eventually be a suitable, efficient desktop platform? as well as good for multimedia and design. (pretty much what people use a mac for) | 02:20 |
| nikrud | baudelaire learn the names of the apps you use, and start them with alt-fw | 02:20 |
| tarkus | i mean i use linux for my coding and development. but thats about it | 02:20 |
| nikrud | baudelaire erm, alt-f2 that is | 02:21 |
| c0Ld | Pelo: It won't let me add a new partition, the only related option to that is to resize the current one. | 02:21 |
| icesword | spydon is gone | 02:21 |
| loser | tarkus: it allready is it comes on laptops preloaded | 02:21 |
| tarkus | i would also like it to be a good esktop app, instead of using win/mac for this type of stuff | 02:21 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, are you sure you ahve free space ? | 02:21 |
| xFlipx | tarkus: it is :) | 02:21 |
| tarkus | loser, yeah, i just rdered a lenovo T61 with Novell SLED 10 | 02:21 |
| loser | tarkus: you can get ubuntu throught quite a few companys preloaded | 02:21 |
| c0Ld | Pelo: Yes, I have about 60 gigs free. | 02:21 |
| Josellis | pelo, I'm back | 02:21 |
| chris0 | tarkus: t61, baby!!! | 02:21 |
| Josellis | wait on grub | 02:21 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, free space is unpartition space , not just space that is unsused in your hdd | 02:21 |
| loser | tarkus: id call it stable its very very versatille | 02:21 |
| tarkus | loser, yea i know. that doesnt justify it being a better desktop plaform than OSX | 02:21 |
| nikrud | c0Ld is that free space on the ntfs partition, or free space outside the ntfs partition? | 02:21 |
| baudelaire | Thanks, nikrud | 02:22 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, it should state unallocated space | 02:22 |
| c0Ld | it's inside of the ntfs partition still | 02:22 |
| tarkus | chris0, are you working with one now? | 02:22 |
| chris0 | tarkus: yep | 02:22 |
| xFlipx | tarkus: OSX is based on unix. | 02:22 |
| tarkus | chris0, how is it? is the battery life really that bad? | 02:22 |
| nikrud | c0Ld then you need to resize the ntfs first. If you are using vista, use the disk management tool in vista to do that | 02:22 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, you need to resize the ntfs partiton then , unless you are getting rid of windows , then you can just remove it all together | 02:22 |
| shachaf | I've read about other people having this problem, but not about any solution: Using Xinerama on a Radeon 9600 with the fglrx driver, the mouse cursor on the primary screen is fine, but on the secondary screen, it doesn't change -- it just stays in the same shape it was on the primary screen. | 02:22 |
| loser | tarkus: why not osx is codecd from the same thing linux is its from a unix base isnt it ?? | 02:22 |
| tarkus | xFlipx, yea, since leopard its a fully unix OS. | 02:22 |
| chris0 | tarkus: battery life's not great. new, it got just under 2 hours. now (6 months later) it's down to about an hour 45 minutes | 02:23 |
| tarkus | loser, i know this. but from a software selection point. you get a wider array of powerfull applications | 02:23 |
| shachaf | Has someone else here had a problem like this? | 02:23 |
| loser | tarkus: so its all about knowing how to use the os to your advantage | 02:23 |
| xFlipx | tarkus: and most every app OSx offers was available on linux long before OSX .... for free I might add | 02:23 |
| tarkus | chris0, what size battery? | 02:23 |
| bebin | azureus dht is firewalled distributed database's udp port maping problem how to fix it please help | 02:23 |
| tarkus | chris0, thats dissapointing. | 02:23 |
| loser | tarkus: ehh yeah you got me there its because all the software out is freeware we just have to wait until a big big software companie decides to get involved and try to grab the market | 02:24 |
| chris0 | tarkus: rumor has it, if you get the right kind of t61, you can put a t60 battery in it and get 8 hours of battery life. mine's the wrong kind. my battery is the biggest one (7-cell?---don't remember) | 02:24 |
| nikrud | bebin probably your router, you'll need to use your router manual | 02:24 |
| xen_ | can someone please take a look at this, everything is explained in the post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4650305&postcount=1 | 02:24 |
| tarkus | chris0, omfg. thats insane.. | 02:24 |
| chris0 | yeah | 02:24 |
| nikrud | bebin you can ensure that it's not ubuntu by typing sudo iptables -F , clears any possible firewall rules on the computer | 02:24 |
| tarkus | chris0, your using the 7-cell and you're getting < 2 hours | 02:25 |
| Frogger626 | ARGH! Linux-ache! | 02:25 |
| * tarkus goes to buy a macbook instead | 02:25 | |
| tarkus | lol | 02:25 |
| Frogger626 | Dr_willis, if you're there, I am stuck | 02:25 |
| Frogger626 | ... or not | 02:25 |
| chris0 | tarkus: I have a friend who has a t60 and a t61 and he swapped the batteries and gets 8 hours. I tried it in mine but his battery doesn't fit. I have the big battery, I think it's the 7-cell, but I dont remember | 02:25 |
| nikrud | xen_ a couple questions: are you using xserver-xgl , and compiz? | 02:26 |
| level09 | how do I switch my user from within the terminal window ? | 02:26 |
| bebin | nikurud: can you say how to enable it again | 02:26 |
| tarkus | chris0, well looks like i am completely screwed then. i got the 4-cell (i hate extended batteries that arent flush with the chassis) | 02:26 |
| chris0 | level09: su - <username> | 02:26 |
| level09 | thanks :) | 02:26 |
| nikrud | bebin by default there is no firewall. Unless you intentionally set one up with firestarter or some other tool | 02:26 |
| Frogger626 | Well guys, here goes. Be back in a few | 02:26 |
| chris0 | tarkus: yes, but you can also get an ultrabay battery. still saving up for that one tho... | 02:26 |
| speeddemon8803 | nickrud, but there is iptables right? | 02:27 |
| loser | hmm im doing things the way wine says to but they dont work the way its suppose to | 02:27 |
| nikrud | speeddemon8803 yes, that's a tool to set the firewall rules. Unless you actually use iptables, there are no firewall rules | 02:27 |
| tarkus | i would love to use a full opensource toolset for both work, and casual use. | 02:27 |
| rhineheart_m | quick question: how to prove why an email won't arrive to local mailbox well in fact I could send and receive mails if doing it locally? I am using postfix and courier imap with squirrelmail. thanks! | 02:28 |
| * speeddemon8803 was just thinking of the statement no firewall because i ran into a network security testing site and it didnt get past anything is all. | 02:28 | |
| tarkus | just for piece of mind and the flexibility. | 02:28 |
| loser | is there a better program out there than wine | 02:28 |
| nikrud | speeddemon8803 sudo netstat -pltn , shows what is listening to what. If nothing is listening to the net, of course it'll pass ;) | 02:29 |
| Gokee2_Office | I installed lightning-extension but can`t find it anywhere in thunderbird. How do I use it? I am on Xubuntu 7.1 | 02:29 |

| karllenz | hey what is the commande to get the gnome desktop? | 02:31 |
| rignes | I hear automatix is no more. Is there a functional equivalent replacement? | 02:31 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, get back into windows and defrag it a few times before trying to rezise it will help | 02:31 |
| xen_ | nikrud no not using compiz, but i do have the xserver-xgl installed | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | rignes: try the medibuntu repositories | 02:32 |
| speeddemon8803 | later folks | 02:32 |
| karllenz | anyone commande to install the gnome desktop will using kde? | 02:32 |
| rignes | Starnestommy: Thanks. | 02:32 |

| nikrud | xen_ that's the :1.0 server you see with just fglrxinfo, it runs above the :0.0 server. You could try uninstalling xserver-xorg and checking fglrxinfo for yourself. | 02:33 |
| xen_ | nikrud ah ok so i just do sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg, then try typing in fglrxinfo into terminal like that? | 02:33 |
| nikrud | karllenz sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 02:33 |
| nikrud | xen_ you'll have to log out and back in | 02:33 |
| xen_ | ah ok | 02:33 |

| Gokee2_Office | So anyone know why I would not be able to find the lightning-extension in thunderbird? | 02:34 |
| xen_ | nikrud it wants to uninstall ALOT of packages when typing in purge xserver-xorg, this is correct? | 02:34 |
| nikrud | karllenz try again, ubuntu-desktop | 02:34 |
| loser | this thing works great | 02:34 |
| loser | lol | 02:35 |
| JPSman | How do I load a module? | 02:35 |

| tarkus | can someone help me make a decision on what platform to use? im trying to give myself reasons why i should choose linux over mac osx. | 02:35 |
| AVFC1 | linux is free | 02:35 |
| karllenz | choose linux | 02:35 |
| xen_ | nikrud oh just xserver-xgl? i thought you meant xserver-xorg :S | 02:35 |
| karllenz | macs a pain in the ass im currently trying to install liux on my new macbook | 02:36 |

| tarkus | troxor, heh. noo thanks | 02:36 |
| nikrud | xen_ I passed right over you saying xserver-xorg, and I did say that | 02:36 |
| level09 | is the public/private keys really important for security ? | 02:36 |
| loser | im about to delete windows vista any objection? | 02:36 |

| xen_ | nikrud ok so you meant xserver-xorg, or xserver-xgl? | 02:36 |
| nikrud | xen_ you are joking, right? | 02:37 |
| Computer|Nerd | I take that as a no.... | 02:37 |
| nikrud | xen_ xgl | 02:37 |
| loser | so ubuntu now owns windows | 02:37 |
| xen_ | oh | 02:37 |
| tarkus | karllenz, you just got a new macbook, and you dont like it? | 02:37 |
| troxor | Computer|Nerd: nvu | 02:37 |
| karllenz | not really | 02:37 |
| karllenz | a fan of osx | 02:37 |
| troxor | Computer|Nerd: or bluefish | 02:37 |
| n3urogod | loser, dont play games hey? :P | 02:37 |
| karllenz | its like an os mad for dumb asses | 02:37 |
| tarkus | karllenz, why arent you using osx? what does linux give you otherwise? (you get the terminal, bash shell, X11 support, and everything in mac osx) | 02:37 |
| n3urogod | loser, what did you get working under wine? | 02:37 |
| xFlipx | JPSman: does it count if I work with some blackhats? :P | 02:37 |
| n3urogod | tarkus, linux is free and open source | 02:38 |
| JPSman | xFlipx: yes it does | 02:38 |
| karllenz | i like learning new stuff im sick of osx already i get alot of error with itunes and mozilla | 02:38 |
| tarkus | N3bunel, but he already paid for osx license. | 02:38 |
| Computer|Nerd | troxor yea.... nvu, kompozer, bluefish... they just aren't capable of what I want to do!! | 02:38 |
| tarkus | n3urogod, ^^ | 02:38 |
| troxor | Computer|Nerd: vim :P | 02:38 |

| Frogger626 | Dr_willis, i need help | 02:41 |
| sarah___ | theme i guess troxor | 02:41 |
| Frogger626 | Same problem as before | 02:41 |
| nikrud | Computer|Nerd not wysiwyg at all | 02:41 |
| Computer|Nerd | Karllenz I had a wifi problem with my Dell also | 02:41 |
| Zelta | nikrud: Linking that dir allowed flash to work in Firefox, but now I get the problem I had in Firefox 2 | 02:41 |
| sarah___ | it needs to be pretty | 02:41 |
| Computer|Nerd | nikrud ah.... c that wouldn't work 4 me | 02:41 |
| nikrud | Computer|Nerd I see. I tend to type things out, not take shortcuts | 02:41 |
| Computer|Nerd | oh thanks! | 02:42 |
| Computer|Nerd | I would type things out... I just don't have the time to learn how to type HTML nikrud | 02:42 |

| BoostedSS | Hi guys. I have a question. Everytime I try to install anything it says the list needs to be updated. I hit refresh and it does the same thing. | 02:42 |
| level09 | why do we add dots infront of some directories ? like .ssh for example ? | 02:43 |
| troxor | sarah___: would you mind a screenshot link in PM ? | 02:43 |
| Starnestommy | level09: to make them hidden | 02:43 |
| BoostedSS | level09 that makes it hiddent | 02:43 |
| BoostedSS | lol | 02:43 |
| nikrud | level09 directories with dots hare hidden from listings | 02:43 |
| level09 | thanks | 02:43 |
| nikrud | level09 ls -a shows them | 02:43 |
| level09 | great | 02:43 |
| level09 | rm -a removes them ? | 02:43 |
| jengelh | -.- | 02:43 |
| nikrud | level09 no. Why would you want to get rid of it? rm .ssh -r will remove the directory though | 02:44 |
| jengelh | the dot is a thing only LS (and file managers) "understand". | 02:44 |
| BoostedSS | what is the command to manually update the list in the add/remove programs applet? | 02:44 |
| Starnestommy | BoostedSS: sudo apt-get update? | 02:44 |
| BoostedSS | thanks thats what I'm looking for | 02:44 |
| moregreen | hello all... | 02:44 |
| level09 | nikrud: I just did some wrong things, I want to start again ) | 02:44 |
| nikrud | BoostedSS that listing is fixed, doesn't change unless the package that defines it is changed | 02:44 |
| robot682 | hi | 02:45 |
| dublpaws | ls | 02:45 |
| ers35 | hello moregreen | 02:45 |
| moregreen | i am having a problem with my ubuntu/kubuntu . every time i open synaptic, it seems like it is updating the sources, then immedietely closes. | 02:45 |
| moregreen | im on gutsy | 02:45 |
| Shiiii | hey all | 02:45 |
| moregreen | it may have happened when i tried to reinstall firefox from the terminal | 02:46 |
| poseidon | Is there a way to boot ubuntu up in windows from a flash drive? | 02:46 |
| troxor | moregreen: run synaptic from a terminal, and see what kind of output it gives | 02:46 |
| moregreen | it runs fine in terminal | 02:46 |
| moregreen | lemme try again though | 02:46 |
| Zelta | poseidon: Put casper-persistent ubuntu on a flash drive and put it in while running windows | 02:46 |
| loser | ok so now i deleted windows how do i tell if my new partition is mounted> | 02:46 |
| nikrud | Zelta what's the firefox problem, anyway? | 02:47 |
| BoostedSS | nikrud, so what command would I issue to update all of the packages on my system... like yum update all type command | 02:47 |
| icesword | poseidon, how do you mean | 02:47 |
| troxor | loser: `mount`, `df`, or `cat /proc/mounts` | 02:47 |
| poseidon | nm, I just found something | 02:47 |
| moregreen | hey troxor... i ran sudo synaptic... does the same thing. | 02:47 |
| Stroganoff | http://pastebin.ca/raw/971919 this code creates this checklist: http://www.abload.de/img/dialog-conditionobn.png --- why? | 02:47 |
| nikrud | BoostedSS that's sudo apt-get update , system->admin->synaptic will reflect that change | 02:47 |
| robot682 | Hello. I am a user trying to switch over from windows and I am having a heck of a time getting my xorg.conf right. | 02:47 |
| loser | ok it has a folder onit called lost and found i cant delete | 02:47 |
| Zelta | nikrud: Flash videos appear, but occasionally (not all the time), when I try to load it, Firefox goes unresponsive and prompts for a Force Quit | 02:47 |
| nikrud | Zelta does that to me too. | 02:47 |
| troxor | moregreen: does it give an error message in the terminal window? | 02:48 |
| Zelta | nikrud: Often? | 02:48 |

| Frogger626 | I can't open Ubuntu from the thumb drive! | 02:48 |
| Frogger626 | Help! | 02:48 |
| moregreen | frogger, dont you have to restart? | 02:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: are you trying to install, or did you install it to the thumb drive | 02:48 |
| troxor | moregreen: bummer, try this `aptitude update && aptitude upgrade` . maybe the file got corrupted | 02:49 |
| Frogger626 | Did install to the drive | 02:49 |
| moregreen | troxor thanks | 02:49 |
| Frogger626 | I get a GRUB loading (enter) Error 21 | 02:49 |
| loser | im formating it | 02:49 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, but is grub stage 1 on the usb or is it on the hdd ? | 02:49 |
| loser | ex2 should be fine right? | 02:49 |
| Frogger626 | Pelo: What? | 02:49 |
| keithclark | I deleted a user and want to recreate them with the same settings but it does not seem to be working, any ideas? | 02:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | why would you install to an external drive, you know how slow thats gonna be? | 02:49 |
| moregreen | very slow | 02:50 |
| moregreen | :P | 02:50 |
| === _CaNeS is now known as CaNeS | ||
| moregreen | faster than cd though, right? | 02:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | silly, complete waste fo time | 02:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | moregreen: honestly, i doubt it | 02:50 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, grub , the boot menu , is in two parts, one part on the boot device at the timeof hte install and part 2 on the ubuntu partiton | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | i got my y Thumbfdrive set to boot as if it was a live cd. its much faster then a live-cd | 02:50 |
| moregreen | usb2.0 ? | 02:50 |
| Zelta | depends on the external hard drive spindle speed | 02:50 |
| BoostedSS | nikrud, thank you. that synaptic was what I was looking for. I also cannot install anything from the add/remove programs cause it says the list is not updated does that make sense? | 02:50 |
| emma | I have an external drive and it is very slow. I would not recommend installing Ubuntu on it. It's good for using as storage for data. | 02:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: yeah, but not running an install from the thumb drive | 02:50 |
| Frogger626 | IGF, I don't have an extra HD lying around (that I can use), and this seems like a reasonable solution | 02:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: so partition the one you have. | 02:50 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, this is error 21 21 : Selected disk does not exist | 02:51 |
| Pelo | This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system. | 02:51 |
| nikrud | BoostedSS yes, ubuntu has done some stuff to invalidate a repository unless it has recently been updated | 02:51 |
| Frogger626 | Won't that wipe the drive I partition? | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, theres 2 ways to 'install' to a thumbdrive :) live-cd clone, and full install..ive never managed to make a full install work.. heh | 02:51 |
| Frogger626 | If I can do a live-CD clone that I can save files to, I'm good. | 02:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: lol.. the live CD i think would be fine.. no different, maybe even a tad faster, than running a live CD | 02:51 |
| Frogger626 | I just want flash and WINE, and I'm good. | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | with the 'full' install to a usb device. the initrd and other kernel issues can happen. because the name/device name of the usb device can change - i recall. | 02:51 |
| nikrud | Dr_willis I guess you better go back to working on wilix then ;) | 02:52 |
| BoostedSS | nikrud; lol How do I update it? This is a fresh install of gutsy on a brand new laptop | 02:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: if you partition the drive properly, no, it won't wipe the drive, have you read any tutorials? | 02:52 |
| Frogger626 | ...No | 02:52 |
| nikrud | BoostedSS the apt-get upgrade will do it, that refreshes the repositories | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | I have a Slax-Thumbdrive, and a gOS thumbdrive right now. :) | 02:52 |
| moregreen | I used su, then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and i think its going to work... (crosses fingers) | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | I followed the gOS docs at pendrive linux and got that going. | 02:52 |
| Frogger626 | Just wondering... Anyone here ever had a linux-ache? | 02:52 |
| robot682 | Hello. I was wondering if anyone has some time to help with some ATI graphics card issues? | 02:52 |
| Zelta | gOS v2 beta is sorely missing certain basic functionality | 02:53 |
| Zelta | :( | 02:53 |
| Rico | hello everyone! | 02:53 |
| Frogger626 | ...Hi | 02:53 |
| karllenz | can anyone help me with ndiswrapper?? | 02:53 |
| moregreen | hey frogger i got one of those | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | Zelta, yep. :) | 02:53 |
| moregreen | those kubuntu-aches | 02:53 |
| Rico | I need some help configuring my display | 02:53 |
| Zelta | You can't even resize partitions in the included GParted :\ | 02:53 |
| Rico | if anyone is willing to help, I will be very thankful! | 02:54 |
| moregreen | OK the APTITUDE SAFE-UPGRADE ended up on a frozen: Setting up ubuntu-docs (7.10.5) ... | 02:54 |
| level09 | what is UsePam and UseDNS in the sshd_config file for ? | 02:54 |
| BoostedSS | nikrud; thank you so much. That just sparked a light in my head. I went to the sources and by default nothing was selected | 02:54 |
| nikrud | moregreen that one can take quite a while to complete, scrollkeeper (the thing that registers the docs) is a dog | 02:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: how much free space do you have on your internal hard drive | 02:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | ? | 02:55 |
| moregreen | nikrud thanks | 02:55 |
| Frogger626 | IndyGUnFreak: 80gb, but it is already paritioned. One partition has Windows and one has... Wait a minute... | 02:56 |
| Rico | anyone? my xorg.conf is properly configure but the "Display" gui only shows 640x480. | 02:56 |
| Frogger626 | IDEA! | 02:56 |
| karllenz | anyone help macbook wifi? | 02:56 |
| Frogger626 | Rico: I have the same problem | 02:56 |
| Rico | really | 02:56 |
| robot682 | Hello I was hoping someone could give me some advice on my xorg.conf with an ATI card? Please. | 02:56 |
| BoostedSS | rico; display driver? | 02:56 |
| Pelo | Rico, what video card ? | 02:57 |
| Rico | I am running on a IBM x335 | 02:57 |
| Rico | Ati Rage XL | 02:57 |
| Rico | and I am usinf Xcfe | 02:57 |
| Rico | *using | 02:57 |
| nikrud | robot682 for ati, I have a suggestion: system->admin->restricted driver , enable ati restricted. reboot. log in, run fglrxinfo and make sure it's using ati 8.37.6 driver. install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager , then log out and back in. Go to system->prefs->appearance effects tab | 02:57 |
| Frogger626 | Erm, I have the same problem as Rico | 02:57 |
| Frogger626 | except in Ubuntu | 02:57 |
| troxor | !ati | Rico | 02:57 |
| ubotu | Rico: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:57 |
| Rico | the display dirver, default... what was install with xubuntu | 02:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | no, rico is having a display issue.. far as i can tell. | 02:57 |
| nikrud | robot682 if you have been messing with the xorg already, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg first | 02:57 |
| Pelo | Rico, I don't think you add extra resolutions for ati drives using xorg.conf, check in the forum for ati resolution, there is a way to do it , I just don' tknow what it is | 02:58 |
| caesa1 | I'm trying to make the thumb buttons on my mouse work as the middle button. How do I do this? | 02:58 |
| Rico | hum | 02:58 |
| troxor | Rico: if the binary drivers are working, you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, looking for lines with (WW) or (EE) | 02:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: so whats the other partition have on it? | 02:58 |

| moregreen | Hey thanks to all you awesome people who got my synaptic working! | 02:58 |
| moregreen | Now...whats the best way to reinstall firefox? | 02:58 |
| troxor | Rico: also, `xrandr` will give you available resolutions | 02:59 |
| Rico | ok, let me check a few things quickly! :) | 02:59 |
| Frogger626 | IndyGunFreak: The non-windows has a whole lot of... Well, not bootables, anyway. | 02:59 |
| Starnestommy | moregreen: try sudo aptitude reinstall firefox | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | moregreen, why are you reinstalling firefox? | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | moregreen, that will not reset the users settings - if thats the problem. | 02:59 |
| moregreen | it isnt opening | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | moregreen, You are thinking in windows terms.. | 03:00 |
| moregreen | yeah | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | moregreen, open a terminal, run firefox, look for error messages | 03:00 |
| moregreen | well i usually try reinstalling first! :P | 03:00 |
| caesa1 | My middle-mouse button is somehow mapped as the "browser back" button, and it's very annoying when I accidentally click it. How do I remap my mouse? | 03:00 |
| xFlipx | lol | 03:00 |
| keithclark | Anyone could help with recreating a user? | 03:00 |
| moregreen | haha | 03:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: so what does the other partition have on it? | 03:00 |
| robot682 | Thanks nikrud. I will try those two things. Though, every time I enable the restricted I get a black screen and the last time changing the resolution didn't help. I will give it one more go, | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | moregreen, that rarely if EVER works with linux | 03:01 |
| moregreen | awesome | 03:01 |
| xFlipx | btw I just had the best cod4 game ever if anybody wants to pat me on the back feel free | 03:01 |
| Frogger626 | IndyGunFreak: The first partition has windows. The second is just storage, and I can back up that up to my 350gb superdrive. | 03:01 |
| keithclark | xflix pat.... | 03:01 |
| moregreen | hey i have mounted my usb midi keyboard before , but now its not recognizing it except for lspci. how do i tell JACK to know where it is? | 03:01 |
| keithclark | xflipx...pat | 03:01 |
| troxor | keithclark: System->Administration->Users and Groups | 03:02 |
| Frogger626 | Hence the "IDEA!". | 03:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: thats what i would do.. back up the "spare" partition.., and install Ubuntu there. | 03:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | and you don't have to take up the whole thing | 03:02 |
| keithclark | troxor, I tried....it does not allow me to recreate the user. | 03:02 |
| Frogger626 | Sure that the first partition is safe? | 03:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: well, you have the capability to back up 350gigs, i would do a backup of important stuff, but as long as you're not completely nutty during partitioning, i would say you'll probably be fine | 03:03 |
| ader10 | Is there any way to burn a folder of flac tracks with a cue sheet? | 03:03 |

| Frogger626 | I don't have anything interesting in C: but it's Windows that scares me | 03:03 |

| xFlipx | Frogger626: super user do | 03:04 |
| impulze | troxor: mv /home/username{,.old} | 03:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: sudo is how you do root commands.. basically | 03:04 |
| xFlipx | sorry for spam | 03:04 |
| Starnestommy | !sudo | 03:04 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 03:04 |

| moregreen | Winblows | 03:06 |

| Pelo | IndyGunFreak, I barely use it , almost never actuay, I have my windows instal mounted in vmware when I realy realy need to go into it anyway | 03:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: use partition editor, to resize your current partitions.. | 03:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: i'm just joshin ya... | 03:06 |
| moregreen | I GET : Segmentation fault (core dumped) when i try and run firefox... | 03:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 03:06 |

| ader10 | Is there any way to burn a folder of flac tracks with a cue sheet? | 03:07 |
| Frogger626 | ...But the 80gb comes up under one! I can't specify a partition! | 03:07 |
| impulze | ader10: you're not funny though | 03:07 |
| tnnc | can someone tell me how to add an line to like an script that will exec the cmd and will not stop and ask doe the sudo password or how i can add to the password to the cmd line so it will get read and run the script this script is an one line cmd | 03:08 |
| Frogger626 | *sigh* I might hire someone to do this for me... This linux-ache is getting bad | 03:08 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, can you restate the issue , maybe I can take a crack at it | 03:08 |
| ader10 | impulze: ? | 03:08 |
| Daisuke-Ido | Frogger626, both partitions *are* on one drive | 03:08 |
| impulze | ader10: you repeated your question 300 times now, i think if someone knows he will answer | 03:08 |
| Dr_willis | if we answer 'no' will you go to google and research? :) | 03:09 |
| troxor | ader10: k3b handles cue sheets, iirc | 03:09 |
| ader10 | Dr_willis: I've googled for 3 days, only 2 results, which are not my situation. Therefore, I decided to ask here | 03:09 |
| troxor | ader10: as do most recent burning progs | 03:09 |
| Dr_willis | troxor, i was thiniing that also. but ive never used that feature. | 03:09 |
| Frogger626 | Pelo: when I go to install Ubuntu, my partitioned drives are displayed as one. I can't choose the partition. | 03:10 |
| Pelo | ader10, you are asking in the wrong channel you need to find one with ppl who deal with audio on a regular basis | 03:10 |
| Dr_willis | i dont even know what a cue sheet actually does. :) | 03:10 |
| ader10 | troxor: It gives some error every time I try it :\ | 03:10 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, what is installed on this drive atm ? | 03:10 |
| troxor | Dr_willis: just a text file with track info, iirc | 03:10 |
| c0Ld | Pelo: Are you still there? I've somehow gotten it to partition out some space, but I'm not sure how to proceed to install to it. | 03:10 |
| Frogger626 | Pelo: atm? | 03:10 |
| Frogger626 | what's atm? | 03:10 |
| Daisuke-Ido | tells it where tracks begin and end | 03:10 |
| Daisuke-Ido | Frogger626, at the moment | 03:10 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, at the moment | 03:10 |
| troxor | ader10: is the cue file accurate? i.e. paths, case sensitivity, etc ? | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | troxor, so hows this sifferent from just converting/burning each track to a cd like i would for my ,mp3's ? | 03:11 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, from the installer , you can just select to install the the unallocated space , assuming you didn'T make a partion in the free space | 03:11 |
| Frogger626 | In that case, the first partition, C:, has windows. D:, the second partition, has just data. I want to install Ubuntu there. | 03:11 |
| ader10 | troxor: I believe it is, but I'm not sure. | 03:11 |
| Pelo | Frogger626, do you need to save this data ? | 03:11 |
| troxor | Dr_willis: cue sheet can set boundaries, split a single track, and more :) | 03:12 |
| Frogger626 | Pelo: I was going to back up D: | 03:12 |

| Rico | alright everyone! Im back | 03:14 |

| xFlipx | fixed woot | 03:17 |
| GOfree | fixed woot | 03:17 |
| Pelo | tnnc, depends on how you start the script, if you run it at boot it shoudl recognise the users permissions and not ask for the psword, if you run the script manualy you will always need to give it the pswrd | 03:17 |
| Pelo | Rico, the ati driver doesn't use xorg | 03:17 |

| troxor | Gun_Smoke: something like sensors-applet ? | 03:32 |
| baudelaire | troxor: is Ubuntu Tweak as "deadly" to installs as Automatix was? | 03:33 |
| w33d5 | anyone know if vmware can boot another partition outside ubuntu? | 03:33 |

| level09 | xFlipx: thanks | 03:43 |
| pokerfacepenguin | Gun_Smoke, which one you like best? i checked out the shootouts on toms a while back, but i decided not to mess with it...i still might pop one in there | 03:43 |
| ej | what could be the cause of this apt-get update error? http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/8/i386/base/release.core MD5Sum mismatch | 03:43 |
| xFlipx | /usr/etc or /etc | 03:43 |
| Gun_Smoke | w33d5: No problem.. And best of all with VirtualBox, I believe it's in the Repos.. I had to build VMware from source. | 03:43 |
| Gun_Smoke | pokerfacepenguin: Was on newegg..... Hold on. | 03:43 |
| xFlipx | the binary files will be in /etc/bin usually | 03:43 |
| troxor | ej: the downloaded data didn't match the expected data, sort of | 03:43 |
| * CodeBlock pokes RockerMONO and says "What are you doing here!?" :P | 03:43 | |
| level09 | xFlipx: does it matter where I exeute the install command ? | 03:44 |
| Pelo | Rico, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel | 03:44 |

| w33d5 | yes it is | 03:44 |
| Rico | thats fine | 03:44 |
| moregreen | E: I wasn't able to locate file for the firefox package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. | 03:44 |
| troxor | ej: there's probably a stale/unfinished/corrupt package sitting around | 03:44 |
| RockerMONO | CodeBlock, foobar | 03:44 |
| moregreen | whats that mean | 03:44 |
| sco50000 | how? | 03:44 |

| xFlip1 | my nix box crashed :( | 03:45 |
| w33d5 | it kept locking up | 03:45 |
| iuri | no itis not | 03:45 |
| Dr_willis | You could install cygwin and ssh to a windows box. :) | 03:46 |
| xFlip1 | level09: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html | 03:46 |
| Gun_Smoke | xFlip1: What did you do? | 03:46 |
| Dr_willis | but what you do withit..i dont know | 03:46 |
| moregreen | hey uninstalling gnome-terminal isnt too bad , right? | 03:46 |
| Pelo | Rico, I'm not even an amature at ati drivers, you'll have to search the forum , google, try the restricted drivers or just ask again about your problem periiodicaly hoping someone can help | 03:46 |
| sco50000 | how? | 03:46 |
| iuri | CodeBlock | 03:46 |
| pokerfacepenguin | Gun_Smoke, you use that one yourself? | 03:46 |
| xFlip1 | was using the one I was on chat with remotely | 03:46 |
| prakriti | does anybody know where I can get md raid help? | 03:46 |
| xFlip1 | and it's old | 03:46 |
| troxor | moregreen: not really | 03:46 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: no it is not possible it doesn't trace the windows machine | 03:46 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: you want to ssh to your linux box from winows.. install openssh-server on the linux box, and install putty on the windows box. | 03:46 |
| === xFlip1 is now known as xFlipx | ||
| chalex | prakriti: ask | 03:46 |
| prakriti | I have | 03:47 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: from my ubuntu to windows | 03:47 |
| troxor | prakriti: yes | 03:47 |
| prakriti | all the disks in my array have been marked (S), but otherwise show good status | 03:47 |
| Rico | this is another problem | 03:47 |
| Rico | I tried the restricted drivers | 03:47 |
| pen | is there any way to speed up firefox with compiz? | 03:47 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: you can ssh TO windows........................*sighs* | 03:47 |
| prakriti | I don't know how they got marked (S), it happened after an upgrade. | 03:47 |
| robbiet480 | Hey. I just installed windows and had a previous install of Feisty Fawn (7.10). When I was installing XP it had me create a "setup" partition. The install is now done and I wish to reclaim that space. It is the C: drive BUT no windows files or any files at all are on it. I know this is Ubuntu support but I was wondering if anyone would be nice enough to tell me if it is OK to remove the "setup" partition to get that space back.... | 03:47 |
| sco50000 | how? | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | pen, yea.. wait for Hardy to be released with FF3.0 | 03:47 |
| prakriti | Is there an mdadm command I can do to get my raid back together? | 03:47 |
| Gun_Smoke | pokerfacepenguin: No.. I was looking to build a box.. I decided to start with what I could afford for cooling before I started picking parts away. | 03:47 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: er can't * | 03:47 |
| troxor | prakriti: where is the (S) displayed? | 03:47 |
| CodeBlock | sco50000: how what? | 03:48 |
| iuri | CodeBlocj: But i don't need SMB. what do you mean? | 03:48 |
| Rico | it tells me "Your hardware does not need Restricted Drivers" | 03:48 |
| Scunizi | robbiet480, if nobody here knows you might /join ##windows and ask. | 03:48 |
| robbiet480 | ok | 03:48 |

| robbiet480 | Scunizi: thanks! | 03:48 |
| prakriti | cat /proc/mdstat | 03:48 |
| CodeBlock | sco50000: er... you've lost your marbles.. | 03:48 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: why can't i setup SSH on windows? | 03:49 |
| chalex | what about something like "mdadm --misc --detail" | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | robbiet480, on a side note.. you can always delete it adn see what happens.. if you don't mind going through a 3.5 hour reinstall if it borks. | 03:49 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: it works only as client? | 03:49 |
| prakriti | mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active. | 03:49 |
| moregreen | Hey im trying to reinstall firefox... im getting this error: | 03:49 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: well... i suppose its possible, but uhh... use telnet for windows >.> | 03:49 |
| moregreen | W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 03:49 |
| moregreen | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 03:49 |
| Dr_willis | iuri, You could install cygwin, and the ssh service onwindows.. but what are you going to do once you ssh into the windows box? | 03:49 |
| RockerMONO | CodeBlock, N O telnet is horrible... | 03:49 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: also thats a windows question (##windows) | 03:49 |
| xFlipx | robbiet480: if you're installing windows over linux I'd say delete everything - including life. | 03:49 |
| iuri | sorry, i hate telnet :) | 03:49 |
| robbiet480 | Scunizi: Oh yeah. I <3 Winblows. lol | 03:50 |
| CodeBlock | RockerMONO: better than running an sshd on windows | 03:50 |
| CodeBlock | >.> | 03:50 |
| georgy_28 | prakriti, :http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/raid.html | 03:50 |
| bastid_raZor | moregreen; run the command it tells you to run. | 03:50 |
| robbiet480 | xFlipx I know i know. I just need it for the odd app that doesnt run on Wine | 03:50 |
| RockerMONO | CodeBlock, not really, telnet has no useful password protection, considering ti's plain text | 03:50 |
| Scunizi | robbiet480, :) and that's with "almost" all the updates. | 03:50 |
| chalex | prakriti: what about something like "mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0" | 03:50 |
| RockerMONO | iuri, well you ask about the server in the os/distro the server uses, so in this case ask ##windows how to install a sshd and use normal ssh | 03:50 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: it is a ubuntu, since iam on my ubuntu in attempts to ssh into my windows :) | 03:50 |
| robbiet480 | Scunizi: lol yeah | 03:50 |
| xFlipx | in all honesty - you can delete everything if you're installing windows | 03:50 |
| moregreen | bastid- oh yeah, forgot that one.. it gives me this error : | 03:51 |
| chalex | also, did you have some data on md0, or are you free to start over? | 03:51 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: you want help with setting up the ssh server, and that is a windows question. | 03:51 |
| moregreen | dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system | 03:51 |
| xFlipx | It takes over hard drives and is trying to take over the WORLD! | 03:51 |
| prakriti | chalex: same thing | 03:51 |
| prakriti | and yes | 03:51 |
| prakriti | I have a ton of data | 03:51 |
| CodeBlock | iuri: the only linux part would be.. open a terminal and type ssh <user>@<windows.ip> | 03:51 |
| prakriti | around 900gb | 03:51 |
| robbiet480 | xFlipx: i already installed windows but it made me create a "setup" partition which I now want to delete to FREE ROOM FOR LINUX GOODNESS. lol | 03:51 |
| bastid_raZor | moregreen; are you using sudo? | 03:51 |
| moregreen | yes | 03:51 |
| moregreen | should i be using su? | 03:51 |
| Scunizi | sudo | 03:52 |
| bastid_raZor | moregreen; sudo should suffice. | 03:52 |
| ej | how do i correct a md5sum mismatch with apt-get update? | 03:52 |
| === talcite_ is now known as Talcite | ||
| xFlipx | robbiet480: if you did that then start over and install linux first on half of the hdd space | 03:52 |
| moregreen | yeah so what do i need to CHMOD? | 03:52 |
| xFlipx | then install windows on the other half | 03:52 |
| chalex | prakriti: there should be a way to look at the superblocks for each device | 03:52 |
| troxor | prakriti: does `mdadm --scan` do anything helpful ? | 03:52 |
| xFlipx | dual boot - sounds like you need to | 03:52 |
| robbiet480 | xFlipx: two hard drives <3 | 03:52 |
| prakriti | Here is the whole mdstat: http://pastebin.com/m252dd84c | 03:52 |

| tyler-_ | hey guys....I just set up wirless on my laptop, and it worked fine initially....but the connection dropped and now I can't seem to get it to connect it again | 03:53 |
| robbiet480 | the winblows nerds say its OK to delete it | 03:53 |
| Scunizi | robbiet480, don't do what xFlipx said.. if you have to reinstall, windows first (cause it takes over) then ubuntu to clean up the drive. | 03:53 |
| Daniel3 | I need help adding Mac OS X to Grub | 03:53 |
| Scunizi | robbiet480, you'll have less problems with grub | 03:53 |

| chalex | prakriti: like "mdadm --query --detail /dev/sdg1" or something ; also, what kind of controller are these connected to? | 03:53 |
| Daniel3 | no one is in #grub | 03:53 |
| prakriti | they are connected to a 3ware ide controller | 03:53 |
| Daniel3 | People are in there | 03:53 |
| Daniel3 | but | 03:53 |
| Pelo | Daniel3, they are there , they justdonT' talk much | 03:53 |
| Daniel3 | No one answeres | 03:53 |
| Scunizi | !grub | Daniel3 | 03:53 |

| leo_rockw | !grub > leo_rockw | 03:54 |
| Daniel3 | ok | 03:54 |
| xFlipx | Scunizi you're right | 03:54 |

| CVD-PR | USe Super Gurb Disk, the best | 03:54 |
| robbiet480 | yeah xFlipx | 03:54 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: Although i have one more question | 03:54 |
| robbiet480 | thought so | 03:54 |
| Pelo | Daniel3, I can give you a link to the grub manual but I don'T want you to think I 'm mean | 03:54 |
| robbiet480 | but Winblows nerds say its OK to delete "setup" partition | 03:54 |
| CVD-PR | Why dont promote SuperGrubDIsk? | 03:54 |
| moregreen | does ubuntu come with any other browsers than konquerer and firefox? konquerer is now not working | 03:54 |

| utarpradesh | hi does anyone have experience running STEAM thru WINE in ubuntu? i'm having trouble enabling directX 8.... i add the suffix to the execution command but it says "file not found" :( | 03:54 |
| Pelo | Daniel3, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Stage1-errors | 03:54 |
| Daniel3 | You're not mean | 03:55 |
| iuri | CodeBlock: it's related to the past issue, what is the command on ubuntu to check what ips are on my network? | 03:55 |
| xFlipx | I mean if it's like 500m and you have two hdd's why mess with it? | 03:55 |
| troxor | moregreen: opera :) | 03:55 |
| Scunizi | moregreen, you can install elinks | 03:55 |
| chalex | prakriti: "mdadm --misc --examine /dev/sdg1" ? | 03:55 |
| robbiet480 | xflipx: 12 gigs. i misjudged with gParted lol | 03:55 |

| robbiet480 | xFlipx yeah i know | 03:55 |
| robbiet480 | LOL | 03:55 |
| troxor | moregreen: aptitude is broken now also? :\ | 03:56 |
| xFlipx | so if you want to install something that needs them you *can* use the windows cd for them | 03:56 |
| moregreen | W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 03:56 |
| moregreen | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem., then i do that command it comes withdpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system | 03:56 |

| ubotu | utarpradesh: Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/ | 03:57 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, i cant...i need some windows apps and i prefer ubuntu | 03:57 |
| robbiet480 | xFlipx thats what im doing | 03:57 |
| xFlipx | of course I have like 6 boxes here I uninstall and reinstall stuff on all the time | 03:57 |
| prakriti | mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 3 drives - not enough to start the array. | 03:57 |
| robbiet480 | xFlipx: same here. i just decided this week to make this the ultimate box. vista, xp pro, ubuntu and leopard | 03:57 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, which apps? Have you considered Vmware server and in stall you licensed copy of winXX in it? | 03:57 |
| xFlipx | worst you lose is like 30 minutes of xp install time | 03:57 |
| chalex | maybe add --verbose? | 03:58 |
| siraj | can anyone help me my deskbar applet is not working | 03:58 |
| robbiet480 | xFlipx: oh I would just LOVE to redo that install. those 800x600 graphics are SOOO much better then compiz-fusion | 03:58 |
| robbiet480 | :D | 03:58 |
| Scunizi | xFlipx, 30 minutes? Not the last time I did it.. | 03:58 |
| xFlipx | I hate vista and ironically it's the only OS I've paid for | 03:58 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, wine worked for me, its just recently its not working and the version is not the problem, i went back to previous versions uncluding the one that worked for me | 03:58 |
| robbiet480 | Scunizi: yeah it took about 30 for me. but i got a CD with SP2 on it already | 03:58 |
| xFlipx | bah compiz-fusion is awesome | 03:58 |
| robbiet480 | hecks yes | 03:59 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, and uninstall doesnt work on all versions i tried | 03:59 |
| georgy_28 | Daniel3, : have a look here : http://refit.sourceforge.net/. I use it on my mac | 03:59 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, which programs are you trying to run | 03:59 |
| deniz__ | does linuxant have 64-bit modem drivers? | 03:59 |
| xFlipx | Scunizi: lots of variables, proc speed, mem, drive write time, etc.. | 03:59 |
| chalex | prakriti: what about --verbose? | 03:59 |
| prakriti | chalex: http://pastebin.com/m39274f2c | 03:59 |
| prakriti | added to the bottom | 03:59 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, you might head over to #wine-hq (I think) and ask there. | 03:59 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, there is no linux alternative for lets say pdf to jpeg converters that convert multiple stuff at once if ur trying to give me alternatives | 04:00 |
| robbiet480 | !wine | 04:00 |
| ubotu | 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. | 04:00 |
| robbiet480 | !AppDB | 04:00 |
| ubotu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 04:00 |
| Daniel3 | Thanks georgy_28. I am going to try that out | 04:00 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, let me look at a couple of things.. hang on. | 04:00 |

| leo_rockw | amenado: i told him to boot from the live cd, but how does he fix menu.lst if menu.lst is not there? | 04:05 |
| chalex | prakriti: so I looks like you just want to hotadd them back with mdadm | 04:05 |
| leo_rockw | amenado: right now the partition is empty | 04:06 |
| prakriti | utarpradesh: nope | 04:06 |
| amenado | leo_rockw-> can he join this channel? | 04:06 |
| troxor | moregreen: did you mention something about a dpkg lock file? what if you delete that, and run the `dpkg --configure -a` again? | 04:06 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, Here's one using Imagemagik http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbips/.. there were over 100 pages of pdf stuff on sourceforge.. | 04:06 |
| level09 | whats the default port for sftp ? | 04:06 |
| troxor | level09: 22, same as ssh | 04:06 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, i have imagemagick and its not gui and no1 wants to help me use it | 04:06 |
| chalex | prakriti: but it would probably be worth to a) make backups b) figure out why they were marked as failed and c) run fsck to check for corruption | 04:06 |
| level09 | thanks :) | 04:06 |
| leo_rockw | amenado: he just went online on jabber, so i'll tell him to | 04:06 |
| amenado | leo_rockw-> okay, let him join in here | 04:07 |
| utarpradesh | hi does anyone have experience running STEAM thru WINE in ubuntu? i'm having trouble enabling directX 8.... i add the suffix to the execution command but it says "file not found" | 04:07 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, I know it does a lot and not very intuitive. however the link looks like it has a commandline gui attached.. | 04:07 |
| bastid_raZor | utarpradesh; try #winehq .. they'll have a better chance of helping out | 04:08 |
| leo_rockw | amenado: he's on the live cd, he says he's going to try to install ubuntu once again. i'll told him to join this channel if he still needs help. thank you. | 04:08 |
| utarpradesh | okay, thank you... i didn't know that existed :) | 04:08 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, its still loading (i have dial-up) | 04:08 |
| moregreen | (rw,errors=remount-ro) whats that mean? | 04:08 |
| Scunizi | ouch | 04:09 |
| amenado | leo_rockw-> okay | 04:09 |
| leo_rockw | utarpradesh: i believe there are many posts about that on the forums | 04:09 |
| deniz__ | and can someone compile a 64-bit driver for me plz? ill host it for others so it wont be a wasted effort ;) | 04:09 |
| moregreen | could it be from me unmounting my external h/d wrong? | 04:09 |
| leo_rockw | moregreen: i'd say yes | 04:09 |
| troxor | moregreen: mount options, = read/write, remount readonly on error | 04:09 |
| troxor | moregreen: those are normal, for the / partition | 04:10 |

| ubotu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 04:25 |
| chalex | BadServo: to set the reserved block count to 0 | 04:25 |
| Yowshi | troxor: tried that | 04:25 |
| chalex | BadServo: this shouldn't have any adverse effects | 04:25 |
| ghostnob | I just install the LAMP 7.10 server edition, and when I ran the "hostname" - "hostname -f" but the result is different. hostname = server1 | hostname -f = server1.domain.com. what can I do, please.... thanks | 04:25 |
| nikrud | chalex not a good idea, syslog is using that free space, for example | 04:25 |
| BadServo | there are no trash folders present on the effected mounts | 04:25 |
| BadServo | boabab | 04:25 |
| BadServo | mistell | 04:25 |
| chalex | nikrud: what do you mean? also, this is not on the root partition | 04:25 |
| troxor | ghostnob: that's correct, the -f displays the fqdn | 04:25 |
| nikrud | chalex ah, good point about not root partition. the reserved space is to allow root daemons to run when users fill the disk. | 04:26 |
| amenado | ghostnob-> paste the contents of /etc/hosts | 04:26 |
| Yowshi | stupid cdemu | 04:26 |
| chalex | BadServo: the idea of reserving some blocks for root is so that your system can continue to function when you run out of disk space, which isn't an issue for your non-system partitions | 04:27 |

| Yowshi | anyone know where i can get this build-essential | 04:27 |
| chalex | BadServo: so try "sudo tune2fs /dev/whatever -m 0" per 'man tune2fs' | 04:27 |
| bender183 | that url is for an 8 monitor dvi/vga setup is it possible for ubuntu to support 8 virtual desktops? | 04:27 |

| bender183 | hehe | 04:29 |
| bender183 | ty sir | 04:29 |

| nikrud | gamer's delight there | 04:29 |
| Dr_willis | Now how you effective USE that many.. is the question.. more then 4 seems to be overkill | 04:29 |
| bender183 | well | 04:30 |
| chalex | dapiz987: can you describe the symptoms more? | 04:30 |
| msingh | hm is there a measuring tool to determine window/image size? | 04:30 |
| bender183 | what vid card supported 16 virtual desktops? | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | bender183, its not a limit of the video card as far as i know., | 04:30 |
| bender183 | ahh | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | bender183, unless you are using the term 'virtual desktop' in a way i am not. :) | 04:31 |
| bender183 | its just a software thing | 04:31 |
| Pelo | msingh, open the image in any image editor and check the properties | 04:31 |
| bender183 | well | 04:31 |
| Yowshi | thanks nikrud | 04:31 |
| Dr_willis | theres been virtual desktops under linux since.. well ages ago. :) | 04:31 |
| bender183 | not like an thin client server with different X sessions running remotley | 04:31 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, with gimp i can convert 1 by 1, and i dint get wat u meant by the rest of wat u said sry :( | 04:31 |

| msingh | Pelo, right | 04:32 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, someone here can probably script it.. shouldn't be too hard. | 04:32 |
| bender183 | Dr_willis: ever seen the movie swordfish? | 04:32 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, i think troxor said sumtin bout scripting, i have no idea wat that means tho :S | 04:32 |
| chalex | dapiz987: are you sure it's a software issue? e.g. does Knoppix or Feisty LiveCD do the same? | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | make a script that does each command needed one after another, then run the script. :) | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | bender183, Nope | 04:32 |
| Pelo | bender183, you mean you want you dektop to stretchover 8 monitors ? | 04:32 |
| bender183 | its like that kind of setup where the guy is working on 8 different monitorsat once | 04:32 |
| dapiz987 | sounded great wit 7.10 | 04:32 |
| chalex | dapiz987: yeah, ask in ubuntu+1 | 04:32 |
| BadServo | chalax: Odd, after adjusting the reserved space I have 6.8GB available. I deleted 5.5GB from the partition with nautilus and cleared teh trash. And nautilus is only reporting 12.1GB free | 04:32 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, scripting is just a list of command done in "Bash" at the terminal that carry out your orders automatically. | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | a multi-monitor desktop is not the same as virtual desktops. :) | 04:33 |
| dapiz987 | could it be to do with the new PulseAudio server? do you have any preference on which audio server is best before i go? | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | dapiz987 very likely its a pulse audio issue. | 04:33 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, wait so u mean its just a bunch of commands to do wat i want to do? | 04:33 |
| chalex | BadServo: perhaps one is reporting in GB the other in GiB? | 04:33 |
| bender183 | no, like 8 different virtual machines one on each monitor | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | deniz__, you got it.. thats oneway to write such a script | 04:33 |
| bender183 | or a display on each | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | bender183, that made no sence. :) | 04:33 |

| bender183 | killer. | 04:35 |
| Pelo | !dualhead > bender183 | 04:35 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, yea.. sort of.. you'd do a command to list all the pdf's then pass that list to a command to "convert" them one by one automatically.. BUT what I don't know is how to get "convert" to output the same file name as the file that is being converted.. numbering of pages is automatic. | 04:35 |
| bender183 | ty sir | 04:35 |
| BadServo | strange.... nautilus bust be doing some weird estimations. | 04:35 |
| Catfood | Can anybody suggest the appropriate channel to ask about gnome menu behavior settings? | 04:35 |
| BadServo | because the size of the files I killed and space available were both read from nautilus | 04:35 |
| Pelo | Catfood, here , depending on what, | 04:36 |
| chalex | BadServo: I mean 'df' not 'df -h', then maybe do the multiplication to convert to GB and GiB | 04:36 |
| deniz__ | troxor, i cd to directory first? do i have to modify the command in any way? | 04:36 |
| troxor | deniz__: most likely, yes | 04:36 |
| Catfood | They delay when you click on a menu item is killing me, if I turn off all effects it is fine, but I want some effects but not the delay | 04:36 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, i had previously made imagemagick work a bit b4 | 04:36 |
| Pelo | Catfood, that might just be that your video card is not strong enough | 04:37 |

| dapiz987 | ok, thank you guys for your help, im off to #ubuntu+1, later everyone | 04:37 |

| deniz__ | Scunizi, that use to work and wen it did, it made a blurry jpg and only the first page | 04:38 |
| chalex | BadServo: np | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, no.. what I did was "convert <filename.pdf> <filename.jpg> and it worked like a champ | 04:39 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, that converts all pages? | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, yes in just one PDF | 04:40 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, do i need to keep the <>? | 04:41 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, no | 04:41 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, it works but i want better res, thats kinda too blurry for me to study with | 04:43 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, there's probably a switch to increase res. the other option someone mentioned is to use gs (ghost script) to do the conversion. I don't know how to do that. | 04:44 |

| Pelo | Bob_Sagot, sudo mount -a | 04:50 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, I like imagemagick AND I have many multipage pdf's.. but I was thinking .. why not convert them to multipage tif's.? Why individual pages.? | 04:50 |
| deniz__ | Scunizi, bcuz its more convenient for studying on a psp | 04:51 |
| din | i've set up a 500GB drive with encryption via dm-crypt and LVM this afternoon. :) | 04:51 |

| gkffjcs | is there an application that will allow me to input the output from my speakers into a file directly? | 04:53 |
| Bob_Sagot | tried it | 04:53 |
| Bob_Sagot | ill try again | 04:53 |
| Pelo | Bob_Sagot, remember that linux is case sensitive and that you donT' mount hdd you mout partitions , so /dev/sda1 , not /dev/sda , and you absolutely need a mountpoint | 04:54 |
| Bob_Sagot | i think I am going to grab my fedora book | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | It pays to read somne tutorials on how linux mounts drives Bob_Sagot :) reading a book is a good idea. | 04:55 |
| Bob_Sagot | but usually when i boot linux before i did a quick hardware swap, it was readying just fine | 04:55 |
| Pelo | Bob_Sagot, what the dev and the mount point of the and what fs ? | 04:55 |
| Dr_willis | Bob_Sagot, its not a hard concept. but it has a lot of little things to watch out for | 04:55 |
| regeya | gkffjcs: look on the ubuntu wiki for jack. alternatively, some soundcards (my sb live 5.1 will do it) can use the speaker out as input (though I disremember how rightnow0 | 04:55 |

| decay | weird problem. i have a hard drive mounted. i can browse through it, drag files in and out of it. but when i try to browse it through a dialog window, the files inside dont show | 05:05 |
| decay | any ideas? | 05:05 |
| regeya | decay, just a wild guess but um. wait. you | 05:06 |
| decay | regeya: i hope not | 05:06 |
| regeya | you wouldn't happen to have hidden files showing in your file manager decay would you | 05:07 |
| regeya | as in .hidden_file | 05:07 |
| decay | nope | 05:07 |

| decay | regeya: when i click view hidden files, nothing shows either | 05:07 |
| Flannel | decay: Right, those dont show up in the filesystem proper | 05:07 |

| GNUix | I have a laptop with a broadcom wireless card (requires firmware cutter) so I purchased a belkin pcmcia card (model F5D7010) which according to the docs is supported with the rt2500 driver but it isn't picking up.. what else can I do? | 05:08 |
| Flannel | regeya: We all start somewhere, don't worry. | 05:08 |
| jengelh | GNUix: use a broadcom driver, not a RalinkTech one? | 05:09 |

| === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig | ||
| GNUix | jengelh: I would prefer not to use the firmware cutter as I have bad experinces with it, thats why I purchased the belkin (which is supposed to be supported) | 05:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | GNUix: is it a usb or what? | 05:10 |
| GNUix | its a pcmcia card | 05:10 |
| decay | Flannel: can't i do that by clicking the folder in the /media/ dir and selecting 'mount' ? | 05:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 05:11 |
| din | IzMbit: run fdisk -l to see what type filesystem is on your disk. when you find the one that's windows,(probably ntfs) run "sudo mount /said/device /mnt" | 05:11 |
| Flannel | decay: uh, I'm not really all that experienced with the GUI, so... maybe? | 05:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | GNUix: hmm, weird. | 05:11 |
| === Cosmosan is now known as Cosmo-san | ||
| decay | Flannel: ok i went to /media/ and tried opening the folder, it says i dont have permission | 05:11 |

| happis | hey | 05:11 |
| regeya | Flannel I was referring to my terrible alcohol tolerance and I thought that gnome, when a drive was mountable, just mounted it...unlike kde, where you may or may not be using an ioslave | 05:12 |
| Flannel | decay: right click the icon on the desktop, then unmount it, then make a folder in /media, and mount it there. | 05:12 |
| GNUix | IndyGunFreak: I guess it could be the card is broke.. but if I remove the card dmesg shows the card removed and then if I reinsert is hows it as reinserting but no other info is givin | 05:12 |

| CVD-PR | but something that is already in ubuntu | 05:15 |

| DariusTheoNoir | Dr_willis, mine works great--never had problems with it, except for an occasional "unsafe removal" from windows | 05:19 |

| jengelh | I concur. | 05:20 |
| DariusTheoNoir | correction, never write.... | 05:20 |

| DariusTheoNoir | you can mount ro | 05:20 |

| jengelh | use a proper ntfs driver. | 05:20 |
| DariusTheoNoir | but I write to my external seagate all the time rw | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | DariusTheoNoir, ntfs-3g has been clamed to be stable.. but then again.. ntfs is made by MS.. could you call ntfs stable.. | 05:21 |

| Xerxes | zmr, thanks. :) | 06:30 |
| |raziel| | so I have a very odd question and I figured this would be about the the best place for a quick answer | 06:30 |
| morris | Yep - I know what I did - and I know that editing the groups file manually will probably fix it, but I have only been using Linux for a week... | 06:31 |
| nikrud | morris ok, you got a problem, you're not in the admin group. reboot into recovery mode, and run adduser morris admin . That gives back sudo | 06:31 |
| nikrud | morris or if you have root , run it there | 06:31 |
| RyanPrior | If I play Counter Strike: Source via Wine, does it use my graphics card? | 06:31 |
| morris | nikrud: thanks - I didn't think of using recovery mode! | 06:32 |
| nikrud | morris and you'll need to add back some other groups as well. I'm not in gutsy at the moment so I can't give you the list, but some kind soul here should be able to give you the output of groups | 06:32 |
| morris | I will just use whatever groups are in the admin mode. | 06:33 |
| morris | I just need to remember not to use -g option with adduser :) | 06:33 |
| nikrud | morris there's several, such as plugdev and audio and some others you need to be a member of. | 06:33 |
| nikrud | hehe | 06:33 |
| morris | nikrud: thanks heaps. | 06:33 |
| morris | OK - bye bye! | 06:34 |
| nikrud | RyanPrior of course it uses your graphics card, how else would you see it? | 06:34 |
| |raziel| | is there a way to install ubuntu from the iso without burning it to a disk (i'm currently running debian) | 06:35 |
| RyanPrior | nikrud: Perhaps it would use software rendering. I heard somewhere that wine can't access your graphics card or something, but I don't know much about it. | 06:35 |
| RyanPrior | Not just using the graphics card, but utilizing it for 3D rendering. | 06:35 |
| nikrud | RyanPrior I don't use wine but I do know it will not use directX properly, and many games can use the -gl option on the command line to play in opengl, which your card does support | 06:36 |
| RyanPrior | It can't translate from directx to opengl? | 06:36 |
| nikrud | RyanPrior or -opengl , or some version of that switch depending on the game. #winehq can point you to the right settings | 06:36 |

| cristi1990 | izinucs: i don't know... i have 2 hdd's and i installed ubuntu on one of them, windows is on the other | 06:48 |

| izinucs | cristi1990, I'm no grub expert.. I googled and found a good howto on bigpond.net someplace.. sometimes multiple drives can be a pain espicially if they are mixed ide & sata | 06:50 |
| cristi1990 | izinucs: that's exactly my problem... mixed ide & sata | 06:50 |

| izinucs | cristi1990, so when redoing grub you can actually write it on both drives.. | 06:51 |
| Acomaco | how do i remove a program with its dependsies? | 06:52 |
| Acomaco | or how you spell it.. | 06:52 |
| K-Rich | Hey guys, i have an external hard drive with a vfat and an ext3 partiotion on it, they both auto mount but i cannot write to the ext3... /media/extern-vfat is owned by the user who plugged the device in, but /media/extern-ext3 is owned by root... how do i make it owned by the user? | 06:52 |
| cristi1990 | izinucs: it is written on both drives, because it still loads the grub (with an error) if i devalidate the ubuntu hdd | 06:52 |
| unop | Acomaco, dependencies* - sudo aptitude remove packagename | 06:53 |
| mindframe | how do i go back to the ubuntu nvidia driver after i've compiled/installed the one directly from nvidia? | 06:54 |

| spartan7_ | guys I setup my wireless router with WPA and my laptop cannot connect. I just flashed my router with dd-wrt. do I need to set it up differently?? | 07:02 |
| jkalex05 | there may be settings in the router | 07:02 |
| jkalex05 | where stage are you on your lappy that you cant connect | 07:02 |
| Parsec300 | spartan7_, if you set it up without encryption, can you connect then? | 07:02 |
| izinucs | !wpa | spartan7_ | 07:03 |
| ubotu | spartan7_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:03 |
| spartan7_ | I can connect to other routers but not to mine | 07:04 |
| jkalex05 | has to be your router settings | 07:04 |
| izinucs | spartan7_, from what I've read on here.. there are many people with difficulties setting up WPA.. it shouldn't be a router issue. | 07:04 |
| praktora | guys i am using ubuntu and i was wondering if kubuntu is better ? can anyone give me an asnwer ? | 07:04 |
| izinucs | spartan7_, can you connect without wpa | 07:04 |
| jkalex05 | just use a 128bit WEP | 07:04 |
| spartan7_ | yea to routers that are not secured, i have not tried wep on the router. my other laptops have no problem connecting and they are older | 07:05 |
| praktora | jkalex05 you have broadcom ? | 07:05 |
| praktora | sorry | 07:05 |
| izinucs | praktora, you can try kubuntu in just a few minutes.. in terminal type .. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ... after install log out and change sessions to KDE .. you'll now be in kubuntu.. change back to ubuntu anytime. it's whatever you like | 07:06 |
| praktora | spartan you have broadcom? | 07:06 |
| spartan7_ | yea!! broadcom | 07:06 |
| jkalex05 | broadcom is an isp? | 07:06 |
| spartan7_ | wireless card | 07:07 |
| praktora | ok i had the same problem with you. you need to reinstall your drivers | 07:07 |
| spartan7_ | how? | 07:07 |
| spartan7_ | sometimes it shows wireless connections that are not there anymore, did that happen to you as well? | 07:07 |
| jkalex05 | i have a d-link n card | 07:07 |
| praktora | spartan7_ give me a minute to give you a full answer | 07:08 |
| spartan7_ | prakriti: thank you much. i thought it was because i just flashed the router and I needed to do something to dd-wrt | 07:09 |
| spartan7_ | :P | 07:09 |
| praktora | spartan you are using ubuntu now ? | 07:10 |

| rhandyk | when is hardy heron due to be released? | 07:17 |
| wbreslin951 | hi im having some issues with samba, when i type in smb://<ip of windows comp> all the files pop up, but when i go thru the 'places' browser and click the icon of the windows comp, it says 'files cannot be displayed.' im thinking its a config problem but i don't know how to fix it. any ideas? | 07:17 |
| AGS | rhandyk: afaik the 24th | 07:17 |
| phreck | How do i change my read/write permissions on my CDROM/DVDROM Drives? | 07:17 |
| unop_ | enby, if you are experiencing that behaviour across browsers, then it's probably your home router that caches DNS lookups and it's caching them too long. | 07:17 |
| wbreslin951 | anyone? | 07:18 |
| unop_ | phreck, you can only change the permissions on the mount point, all contents on optical drives are read-only so you can't do that | 07:18 |
| phreck | ok, how do i change permissions on mount point and device | 07:18 |
| enby | unop_, oh thanks, i just thought maybe ubuntu has it's own caching system as well (like that hosts file in windows) | 07:18 |
| wbreslin951 | samba_: can you help me with a samba problem? i figured u might be able to considering ur name | 07:19 |
| rhandyk | AGS: thx | 07:19 |
| unop_ | enby, the hosts file (even on windows) does not cache lookups | 07:19 |
| AGS | wbreslin: on windows, does the file permission tab say "allow users to modify my files" | 07:19 |
| wbreslin951 | ags: no.. | 07:19 |
| rhandyk | what is ubuntu's equivalent of folder sharing | 07:19 |
| wbreslin951 | AGS: i wanted to keep it as secure as possible | 07:20 |
| rhandyk | i want to share a folder in linux across the network | 07:20 |
| wbreslin951 | !samba|rhandyk | 07:20 |
| ubotu | rhandyk: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 07:20 |
| unop_ | rhandyk, ubuntu can share folders too, you can use samba (works well with windows pcs) or nfs (which works well with other unix systems) | 07:20 |
| AGS | wbreslin: you need maybe to change it, just to see if it works - play around with that setting a bit... | 07:20 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: for the most part its pretty easy to set up, but im having minor issues with it | 07:21 |
| rhandyk | wbreslin951: i'm not talking about samba, i want to use linux/unix way to do it | 07:21 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: that is the linux/unix way to do it | 07:21 |
| unop_ | rhandyk, samba is a linux way to share files | 07:21 |
| rhandyk | what is the unix/linux way to share a folder across the network | 07:21 |
| rhandyk | hmm | 07:21 |
| rhandyk | unop_: hmm | 07:21 |
| unop_ | rhandyk, samba or nfs -- both work | 07:21 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: r u sharing with two linux comps? | 07:21 |
| rhandyk | wbreslin951: yes, both ubuntu at my office | 07:22 |
| JPSman | how do I determine whether I have a patched driver working and installed? | 07:22 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: then its pretty simple, just create a folder, right click and click 'share this folder' | 07:22 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: 'Share Folder' sorry lol | 07:22 |
| rhandyk | wbreslin951: oh, i didn't notice it | 07:22 |
| rhandyk | wbreslin951: lol, thanks man, | 07:23 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: yup, its second from the bottom i believe | 07:23 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: np bro | 07:23 |

| sCOTTo | hey guys can someone suggest a good program to open and change eps grafix files? my gimp wont do it... | 07:23 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: unless your setting up a broadcom wireless card lol | 07:23 |
| wbreslin951 | sCOTTo: eps files? wut program does that in windows? | 07:24 |
| wbreslin951 | sCOTTo: thats photoshop right? | 07:24 |
| rhandyk | wbreslin951: ubuntu recognizes my netgear usb wireless out of the box | 07:24 |
| unop_ | wbreslin951, eps is ehanced postscript, PS, corel, adobe acrobat can all work with it | 07:24 |
| rhandyk | wbreslin951: in that case you need ndiswrapper, right? | 07:24 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, what does the eps file contain? do you know? | 07:25 |
| sCOTTo | unop_ yes a graphic of my logo. | 07:25 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: i gave up on my broadcom card and decided to go with a wireless bridge i got layin around, the speed is as good as it would get with ndiwrapper anyways so i figured might as well | 07:25 |
| sCOTTo | i think it was done in illustrator or corel draw | 07:25 |
| hunter | guys i have installed boot chart could any one tell me where i can fi open that programe pls | 07:25 |
| wbreslin951 | unop_: does acrobat work with vector images? | 07:26 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, i remember something called pstoedit, can't remember what package it was from that could work with eps file -- have a browse on packages.ubuntu.com | 07:27 |
| sCOTTo | brb | 07:27 |
| sCOTTo | thanks | 07:27 |
| unop_ | wbreslin951, errm, i assume it does yes | 07:27 |
| wbreslin951 | unop, sCOTTo: just look thru the package manager for pstoedit | 07:27 |
| unop_ | !info pstoedit | 07:28 |
| ubotu | pstoedit (source: pstoedit): PostScript and PDF files to editable vector graphics converter. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.44-2 (gutsy), package size 160 kB, installed size 760 kB | 07:28 |
| wbreslin951 | sCOTTo: sudo apt-get install pstoedit .. there ya go lol | 07:29 |

| sCOTTo | i gotta run - children need me | 07:30 |
| rhandyk | (windows workgroup) | 07:30 |
| wbreslin951 | sCOTTo: np bro | 07:30 |
| sCOTTo | cheers | 07:30 |
| AGS | wbreslin951: You come right | 07:30 |
| unop_ | sCOTTo, apt-cache search eps # -throws up quite a few packages that seem to work with eps files | 07:30 |
| AGS | wbreslin951: You come right? | 07:31 |
| wbreslin951 | AGS: ? | 07:31 |
| sCOTTo | thanks | 07:31 |
| wbreslin951 | rhandyk: try typing smb://<ip of other machine> in the bar | 07:31 |

| captain | Hey guys, i was installing ndiswrapper and after the make command i ran into this | 07:31 |
| wbreslin951 | AGS: yeah | 07:31 |
| captain | CFLAGS was changed in "/home/captain/bcm43xx/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.49/driver/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. | 07:31 |
| AGS | wbreslin951: awesome | 07:31 |
| No1CaNTeL | hey guys, could someone help me get the brightness applet working? I'm stuck at full brightness all the time :( | 07:31 |
| hunter | guys i installed a webcam driver from this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320433&page=2, 6th post. the webcam anyway din work i think it was not compatable. when i cheked synaptic i found camorama has been installed so i removed it from there. now when i restart my computer its taking ages to come up. and the lsusb command on the terminal is not working.i installed bootchard to see the sripts but it doesnt appear on syst | 07:31 |
| hunter | em log.can any one give me a hint about whats happning pls | 07:31 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: do u have a shortcut key for brightness? | 07:32 |
| captain | any ideas what that EXTRA_CFLAGS means ? or why i got that error... | 07:32 |
| No1CaNTeL | not that I am aware of | 07:32 |
| unop_ | captain, is there a reason for compiling ndiswrapper instead of using the package from the repositories? | 07:32 |
| No1CaNTeL | I loaded the applet onto the bar | 07:32 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: what kinda comp u have? im assuming a laptop considering theres no brightness control on the monitor | 07:32 |
| No1CaNTeL | ye | 07:32 |
| No1CaNTeL | s | 07:32 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: do you have a shortcut key? mines blue and has the letters fn on it | 07:33 |
| No1CaNTeL | I selected my monitor type already, but I get a red circle with a cross through it over the applet | 07:33 |
| captain | unop : following a guide for my wireless drivers here, had to do it this way | 07:33 |
| Kiborg | Hi! One question. How do I create a new user? | 07:33 |
| captain | i tried sudo make , same result | 07:33 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: do you have a shortcut key on your keyboard? mines in the bottom left corner and has fn printed on it.. | 07:33 |
| unop_ | captain, follow a guide that shows you how to use the ubuntu package, that is the recommended way unless that way doesnt work | 07:33 |
| No1CaNTeL | yes, they dont work | 07:33 |
| anand | hi all. ive just upgraded my laptop memory to 2GB RAM. I want to allocate 512MB RAM to my i915 Video Card. How do I do it ? | 07:33 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: try holding that key and pressing the up and down keys.. | 07:34 |
| Starnestommy | Kiborg: system > administration > users and groups | 07:34 |
| AGS | No1Cantel: What graphics card you got? | 07:34 |
| unop_ | captain, there is nothing against compiling packages, but you will have a headache if and when you do decide to uninstall ndiswrapper - the add/remove program does not handle manually installed packages | 07:34 |
| Dr_willis | anand, that wold be a setting in the BIOS most likely | 07:34 |
| No1CaNTeL | I know my shortcut keys on my board, witht eh fn button, but if you mean did I create one in ubuntu then no | 07:34 |
| anand | Dr_willis: ive setting it to MaxDVMT in BIOS | 07:34 |
| fol | hi, is there a way to get out of the Gnome window system and go to command line in ubuntu? | 07:34 |
| Kiborg | Thank You I was looking under a wrong thing. :) | 07:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | I haven't gotten to shortcuts yet, I am still a noob :P | 07:35 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: no u don't have to make the shortcut in ubuntu | 07:35 |
| Starnestommy | fol: ctrl+alt+f1 | 07:35 |
| AGS | No1CanNTyL: What graphics card you got? | 07:35 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: just try holding the button and pressuing up/down | 07:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | so you meant eh built in keyboard combo, and no they stopped working when I swapped from windows to ubuntu | 07:35 |
| wbreslin951 | AGS: i doubt it has anything to do with the graphics card | 07:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | the function button?? | 07:35 |
| Fearful | linux is the best thing that has happen to me <3 | 07:35 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: really? mine didn't lol | 07:35 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: yeah the function button | 07:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | fn + up/down is for volume | 07:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | which works | 07:36 |
| AGS | wbreslin951: with mine it was... ATI graphics :( | 07:36 |
| Dr_willis | anand, it maybe it cant handle any more. | 07:36 |
| wbreslin951 | AGS: mines ati as well and i didn't have to mess with anything for it to work | 07:36 |
| wbreslin951 | AGS: the driver for the monitor is differen | 07:36 |
| wbreslin951 | t | 07:36 |
| AGS | wbreslin951: ah | 07:36 |
| No1CaNTeL | but the icon for the brightness applet has a red circle with a slash through it, I assume there is a problem with the load right? | 07:36 |
| No1CaNTeL | the applet gives me a meter but the meter does not move | 07:37 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: possibly, maybe the driver got blacklisted? | 07:37 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: doubt it tho.. | 07:37 |
| captain | CFLAGS was changed in "/home/captain/bcm43xx/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.49/driver/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. | 07:37 |
| captain | any ideas what that EXTRA_CFLAGS means ? or why i got that error... | 07:37 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: what kind of monitor is it? do you know? | 07:37 |
| No1CaNTeL | my driver came with ubuntu so I couldn't see why | 07:37 |
| No1CaNTeL | yes, one sec | 07:37 |

| No1CaNTeL | the res dropdown? | 07:43 |
| lubosz | Starnestommy: thx | 07:43 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: right above that, what does it say in that box tho? | 07:43 |
| wbreslin951 | right above the res dropdown | 07:43 |
| Cheetah | is there a detailed list of changes for ubuntu 8.04? | 07:44 |
| unop_ | softtower, they aren't random, they're your documentation :) and the format depends | 07:44 |
| Starnestommy | Cheetah: someone in #ubuntu+1 probably knows. | 07:44 |
| No1CaNTeL | above it?? under the screen tab, the Model field is the first one showing | 07:44 |
| Cheetah | Starnestommy, thanks | 07:44 |
| No1CaNTeL | above it is location | 07:44 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: yeah, click that | 07:44 |
| Fearful | hey i have a question, can i simply upgrade when 8.04 is ready, keeping all my current things and settings? | 07:44 |
| Fearful | i'm really new to ubuntu and i'm fascinated | 07:44 |
| No1CaNTeL | k, I looked for my screen before but did not find it in this list, is there another driver I can use? | 07:45 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: there should be "model: ....." then under that "resolution: ..... at .... hz." | 07:45 |
| xtknight | wers. excuse me. the fish is still on my screen too lol | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | Fearful, yes that should be doable | 07:45 |
| Fearful | nice | 07:45 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: click the one right after model | 07:45 |
| wers | xtknight, see?? | 07:45 |
| wers | hahaha | 07:45 |
| wers | it just runs away | 07:45 |
| wers | hehe | 07:45 |
| xtknight | that thing is elusive | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | Fearful, i tend to do clean reinstalls however.. Just seems to work a littel better for me. | 07:45 |
| Fearful | i see | 07:45 |
| Fearful | When will it be stable | 07:46 |
| softtower | unop_: thanks. are you on ubuntu right now? | 07:46 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: ya still there? | 07:46 |
| No1CaNTeL | my bad, I was seeing the res in both box's :P 3am :P | 07:46 |
| unop_ | softtower, errm, what do you think? :) | 07:46 |
| No1CaNTeL | it says LCD Panel 1024x768 | 07:46 |
| xtknight | wers, you can try restarting gnome-panel but i dont know if that will kill your documents | 07:46 |
| No1CaNTeL | generic driver I would assume | 07:46 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: k well click there, | 07:46 |
| sympton | start konsole and kill it by pid number | 07:46 |
| wers | xtknight, it won't i think | 07:46 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: and a choose screen dialog should pop up | 07:46 |
| No1CaNTeL | yes | 07:47 |
| xtknight | wers, ya i just did it " killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel ". cant confirm if fish is gone yet | 07:47 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: in the manufacturer list, click generic | 07:47 |
| wers | okay. tell me if it's gone :) | 07:47 |
| wers | maybe it's the panel if the fish is an applet | 07:47 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: and under the model list, go to the bottom and click Plug 'n' Play | 07:47 |
| wers | and run dialog is also connected to the panel | 07:47 |
| xtknight | wers well i haven't seen it | 07:47 |
| mip | awk | 07:47 |
| softtower | unop_: windows? :-) I've been on this chat sitting @work. Can you please look at this file: /usr/share/doc/mailx/manual.txt.gz (txt inside). That's clearly not a simple text file. | 07:47 |
| xtknight | wers i got that tip from a page.. it's a gnome easter egg | 07:47 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: then click okay in both boxes | 07:47 |
| sympton | anyone here familiar with fighting pci wlan cards ? | 07:47 |
| wers | xtknight, | 07:48 |
| wers | yep | 07:48 |
| wers | so it worked? | 07:48 |
| Fearful | What's the best dark theme for ubuntu, I'm currently using Clear Glass | 07:48 |
| xtknight | wers yea | 07:48 |
| wbreslin951 | sympton: broadcom? | 07:48 |
| wers | xtknight, yeah. 'cause run dialog is a part of gnome panel | 07:48 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: hows it workin? anything yet? | 07:48 |
| No1CaNTeL | k, it will not load properly in the second box, I get it under Model but there are no res or refresh rates available | 07:49 |
| unop_ | softtower, i dont have that file -- and that file is compressed with gzip, so you need to uncompress it first to get the plain text | 07:49 |
| sympton | wbreslin951: tried that too, loaded restricted drivers, it found essid's, but couldt join on any | 07:49 |
| No1CaNTeL | and I cannot click ok to close the box, it does nothing | 07:49 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: is the 'widescreen' box checked? | 07:49 |
| wbreslin951 | in the select monitor dialogue? | 07:49 |
| No1CaNTeL | it says widescreen but it is not checked | 07:49 |
| sympton | now i have a-link card, hich doesnt find any networks, it recognices on boot tho | 07:49 |
| softtower | unop_: I know about gzip :) but the text file inside has some weird symbols all over... I was thinking maybe I can read it with "info". | 07:50 |
| mvsn | I'm curious, is there a software for ubuntu that allows you to manage hosting servers? like when you are hosting through say Go Daddy, or 1&1 or anything like that? | 07:50 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: hm.. well as long as its working fine, you don't really need the res selector do you? | 07:50 |
| miggilinme | Sorry if I'm interrupting anything | 07:51 |
| No1CaNTeL | kinda, I am programming a couple guis and I need to test diff resolutions | 07:51 |
| miggilinme | My wireless card isn't showing up | 07:51 |
| No1CaNTeL | but with it checked or not it would not let me hit ok on the second box | 07:51 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: k give me a sec.. | 07:51 |
| No1CaNTeL | one sec, I have it loaded at 640x480 p&p but I need to logoff | 07:51 |
| AGS | miggilinme: what model? | 07:52 |
| luke__kolol | hey all | 07:52 |
| No1CaNTeL | that res is too small but it was the only one that popped up after I restarted the graphics options | 07:52 |
| sympton | wbreslin951: got any tips with broadcom chipset ? | 07:52 |
| miggilinme | My model is BCM4306 | 07:52 |
| luke__kolol | anyone know if theres a firewall for ubuntu? | 07:52 |
| miggilinme | On the default install I had the old bcm43xx driver | 07:52 |
| AGS | miggilinme: PCI or pcmcia? | 07:52 |
| unop__ | softtower, i think the best thing to do is identify what kind of text file it is with 'file' - file /usr/share/doc/mailx/manual.txt.gz | 07:52 |
| wbreslin951 | sympton: throw ur bcm card out the window and get a wireless bridge, the restricted drivers suck and ndiswrapper doesn't work very good either | 07:53 |
| miggilinme | Laptop | 07:53 |
| Starnestommy | luke__kolol: there's already installed called iptables or netfilter | 07:53 |
| miggilinme | dell inspiron 600m | 07:53 |
| No1CaNTeL | wbreslin951: brb, gonna logoff and reload the settings after the new drivers are initialized | 07:53 |
| AGS | miggilinme: hold on... | 07:53 |
| wbreslin951 | sympton: unless ur like, computer genios | 07:53 |
| luke__kolol | thx | 07:53 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: dont | 07:53 |
| No1CaNTeL | kk | 07:53 |
| sympton | wbreslin951: ok, how about a-link wlan cards ?) | 07:53 |
| miggilinme | broadcom chip | 07:53 |
| jarango | I have two kernel versions installed in my system (both are ubuntu packages). I need some help getting the nvidia driver (also ubuntu) to work with both kernels. Is there a clean way to do this ? | 07:53 |
| wbreslin951 | sympton: bcm is probably the worst as far as open-sourcing their drivers so anything other then them will probably work | 07:53 |
| sympton | kk | 07:54 |
| No1CaNTeL | k, now this is driving me nuts, I just reopened the graphics options page and now 800x600 & 1024x768 are in the list | 07:54 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: im saving some screen shots of the monitor settings for you just to make sure | 07:54 |
| No1CaNTeL | it is now set to plug and play 1024x768 | 07:54 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: pm me? ill get ur email and send u the screen shots | 07:54 |
| AlphaOmega | how do i boot into command prompt? | 07:55 |
| No1CaNTeL | http://www.tinypic.com ? | 07:55 |
| softtower | unop_: thanks. let me try... | 07:55 |
| AlphaOmega | i hosed my xorg.conf | 07:55 |
| wbreslin951 | AlphaOmega: before you log in, click options in the bottom right | 07:55 |
| sympton | any1 managed to get Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 working ?) | 07:55 |
| wbreslin951 | AlphaOmega: and it's right in there | 07:55 |
| AlphaOmega | i dont even get that | 07:55 |
| miggilinme | AGS: Long story short, I upgraded the driver to b43 using the wirless compatibility pack | 07:55 |
| sympton | wlan card that is | 07:55 |
| No1CaNTeL | post with a password if needs be, easier that way :P | 07:55 |
| miggilinme | AGS: I can load the module, but for some reason the interface isn't showing up anymore | 07:55 |
| * No1CaNTeL is probably the only internet junky who despises email :P | 07:56 | |
| wbreslin951 | AlphaOmega: when the computer boots, before you log in there is an options thing in the bottom right corner | 07:56 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: then where do you want me to put them? photobucket? | 07:56 |
| AlphaOmega | my xorg is hosed, so i dont see the gui srcreen | 07:56 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: yeah ill do that | 07:56 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: gimme a sec | 07:56 |
| No1CaNTeL | sure, or http://tinypic.com if oyu dont mind :P | 07:56 |

| ubotu | hunter: 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 |
| luke__kolol | is it possible to get vnc on ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| softtower | unop_: well... it says "manual.txt: ASCII English text, with escape sequences". Of course it's ASCII... | 07:57 |
| AGS | miggilinme: oh, so you can detect the card, but not use the gui? | 07:57 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: yes, it's built-in | 07:57 |
| No1CaNTeL | my res is at 1024x768, plug n play driver, and refresh rate at 60hz | 07:57 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: your shortcut keys for brightness should work now | 07:57 |

| SuperQ | luke__kolol: server or client? | 07:58 |
| luke__kolol | ummm client on ubuntu server on pc | 07:58 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: you can do a terminal command to bump them to work | 07:58 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: vncviewer | 07:58 |
| softtower | unop_: this is the file, what do you think it is? http://kontsevoy.com/manual.txt | 07:58 |
| luke__kolol | where can i get thtat from? | 07:58 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: sorry, I just noticed that there is no gui version installed by default | 07:58 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: you can run it from a terminal | 07:59 |
| luke__kolol | ok, to connect to a pc and control it how would i go about doing that? | 07:59 |
| No1CaNTeL | lol, thank god for vbox interrupting the shutdown :P how do I go about it that way? | 07:59 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: Applications > Accesories > Terminal | 07:59 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: oi.. what was the command again | 07:59 |
| softtower | Can anyone please tell me which program on linux I am supposed to read the manual in this text format: http://kontsevoy.com/manual.txt ? Thank you. | 07:59 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: gimme a sec | 07:59 |
| No1CaNTeL | lol | 07:59 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: vncviewer pc-host:0 | 07:59 |
| No1CaNTeL | no worries, I say that with every linux command :P | 08:00 |
| No1CaNTeL | err bash I think it's called, still uber at this but getting there | 08:00 |
| lxuser | Hello all, is it possible to add a /boot partition to an already active system and point the system to the new /boot location?? | 08:00 |
| luke__kolol | thanks q | 08:00 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: no problem | 08:00 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: there is also an rdesktop client for RDP | 08:00 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: to restart something its sudo /etc/init.d/<the file> restart | 08:00 |
| kindofabuzz | luke__kolol: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 is a good guid, make sure you read the last page for a post i put there about an error the oOP made | 08:01 |
| wbreslin951 | No1CaNTeL: but i cant figure out which file it is | 08:01 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: if you want to use the windows native RDP protocol for remote login | 08:01 |
| No1CaNTeL | lol, that was my next q :P | 08:01 |
| luke__kolol | vnc ftw! | 08:01 |
| unop__ | softtower, the file appears to contain ANSI escape sequences to display some of the text in colour, so it's likely this file is read by mailx and displayed within the program itself | 08:01 |
| jarango | I have two kernel versions installed in my system (both are ubuntu packages). I need some help getting the nvidia driver (also ubuntu) to work with both kernels. Is there a clean way to do this ? | 08:01 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: yes | 08:01 |
| No1CaNTeL | so I could use that with the samba file when samba starts to get screwy? | 08:01 |
| wbreslin951 | whats the file in init.d that starts your display drivers? | 08:02 |
| SuperQ | luke__kolol: Under System > Preferences > Remote Desktop you can enable VNC server | 08:02 |
| wbreslin951 | or the xorg stuff | 08:02 |
| unop__ | softtower, if you want to read this file -- you can use cat at the command line, it removes the escape sequences - cat manual.txt | 08:02 |
| softtower | unop_: thank you! this thing was puzzling the heck out of me :) | 08:02 |
| ComputerPassion | how is everyone | 08:02 |
| softtower | unop_: no, there is PS version of the same manual which is even better for printing. thank you. | 08:02 |
| Starnestommy | wbreslin951: xorg is started from gdm, which is started by /etc/init.d/gdm | 08:02 |
| ComputerPassion | took me 5 hours but i finally got firefox to run the most current java applets lol | 08:02 |
| wbreslin951 | Starnestommy: will that cause any changes in the screen settings to take effect? | 08:03 |
| softtower | which IRC client are you guys using? I am on pidgin and while it's convenient I don't see any filtering/notification features... | 08:03 |
| Starnestommy | softtower: I normally use XChat when I'm in a gui | 08:03 |

| unop__ | softtower, well, file tells you what it is exactly anyway .. and not all text files are ASCII :) | 08:04 |
| lxuser | Hello all, is it possible to add a /boot partition to an already active system and point the system to the new /boot location?? | 08:04 |
| No1CaNTeL | being it that I just need to logoff and back on, I tihnk I will do that in the meantime, but if you do find that file I would like to know how to console it for future reference. I will brb after I log back in | 08:04 |
| softtower | ixuser: I believe it's possible, yes. | 08:04 |
| ComputerPassion | fdas | 08:04 |
| lxuser | softtower, how and where do i start? | 08:05 |
| softtower | lxuser: do you have any unallocated space on your hard drive? | 08:05 |
| tobmaif | botbanner | 08:05 |

| hey | To get wireless to work do i jus have too put the wireless card drivers in my drivers folder then reboot?/? C an any one help me. | 08:10 |
| TheSandman_ | but i presume they are outdated | 08:10 |
| softtower | lxuser: there is "bootable" flag that you can assign to a partition. Only one partition can have it at the same time. You clear that flag on your current bootable partition and set it onto a new one. | 08:10 |
| magnetron | luke__kolol: you should Apple if they support Ubuntu. probably not. | 08:10 |
| ComputerPassion | TheSandman_, yea don't go by me it took me 5 hours just to get firefox to run applets correctly | 08:10 |
| hey | is ther nay way to set ath0 manualy??? | 08:11 |
| ComputerPassion | hey, have you tried system admin network tools? | 08:11 |
| hey | were is that at | 08:12 |
| hey | tno i havent | 08:12 |
| ComputerPassion | are you running ubuntu 7.10? | 08:12 |
| hey | no | 08:12 |
| hey | knoppix | 08:12 |
| ComputerPassion | should be a menu at top of screen for system. | 08:12 |
| ComputerPassion | not sure let me see if i can find terminal command | 08:13 |
| root | hey | 08:13 |
| lxuser | softtower how would i clear it on the current system | 08:13 |
| Lleumas | woot, recordMyDesktop pwns :) | 08:13 |
| hischild | TheSandman_: the drivers provided by the Restricted Driver Manager are the ones that are usually the best. Did you install those drivers? | 08:13 |
| hey | you mean system then admin ? | 08:13 |
| ComputerPassion | yea, its called gnome-nettool | 08:14 |
| TheSandman_ | hischild: yes, i have | 08:14 |
| hey | i mihght have it but all i see is orphan and lilo | 08:14 |
| hey | tcan it be done threw command | 08:14 |
| hey | like restart ath0 or somehting | 08:14 |
| hischild | TheSandman_: what does this command give you ==> fglrxinfo | grep -i direct | 08:14 |
| J-_ | How can I seen how much video memory I have? | 08:15 |
| softtower | lxuser: you go and edit your current /boot partition: there is "bootable' flag - you clear it. I don't have gparted or anything else at the moment, so I can't tell you exactly which button to press | 08:15 |
| ComputerPassion | in terminal try gnome-nettool or ip | 08:15 |
| hey | k | 08:15 |
| hischild | softtower: using fdisk, you can switch the bootable flag with a and then partition number. | 08:15 |
| ComputerPassion | am kinda new to linux myself have to google everything lol | 08:16 |
| hey | yeh i have ip | 08:16 |
| softtower | lxuser: listen to hischild! :) | 08:16 |
| TheSandman_ | hischild: no output | 08:16 |
| hey | oh for real | 08:16 |
| ComputerPassion | try man ip and see if you can learn how it works | 08:16 |
| lxuser | softtower, i don't have a /boot partition, this system has just "/" root which hold the /boot directory | 08:16 |
| Flannel | softtower, lxuser, the "bootable" flag means nothing to any modern OS | 08:16 |
| hey | yeh thanks | 08:16 |
| ComputerPassion | am new myself or i would give you instructions | 08:16 |
| hischild | ubotu, tell softtower about ati please | 08:16 |
| hey | its ok | 08:16 |
| softtower | I am listening | 08:17 |
| hischild | !ati | TheSandman_ | 08:17 |
| ubotu | TheSandman_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:17 |
| lxuser | hischild, ok, i think your suggestion is more in the area of what am looking for | 08:17 |
| hischild | softtower: that was the wrong nick ... | 08:17 |
| softtower | ah :) | 08:17 |
| hischild | lxuser: can you please tell me the situation? I just woke up and didn't read the whole story. | 08:17 |
| softtower | How ironic... I just given up on ATI drivers and sold my T60p and got T61 with Intel video instead... first time on IRC on a new machine and someone reminds me about my horrific experience with ATI :) | 08:18 |
| hischild | softtower: i used to run an x1300 gfx card without any trouble whatsoever. | 08:19 |
| softtower | hischild: why "bootable" flag isn't it? how else MBR "finds" the partition to boot from? | 08:19 |
| lxuser | softtower, I have a system that has "/" root which contains /home/ boot/ /tmp/ and so forth, but I want to seperate the boot from the system and put it in a different partition | 08:19 |
| softtower | X1300 wasn't so bad. I got "lucky" with FireGL mobile series... | 08:19 |
| lxuser | hischild I have a system that has "/" root which contains /home/ boot/ /tmp/ and so forth, but I want to seperate the boot from the system and put it in a different partition | 08:20 |
| hischild | softtower: well i'm wondering about his situation, perhaps there's a better alternative or i can adjust my advice to be more specific. | 08:20 |
| hischild | lxuser: i see. I assume you've created a seperate /boot by now and copied the whole stuff over, correct? | 08:20 |
| No1CaNTeL | k, swapping my screens just mucked up my ubuntu install with a fatal server error :( | 08:21 |
| lxuser | hischild, no i haven't, i just wanted to know what route was best | 08:21 |
| No1CaNTeL | I am on a different pc now | 08:21 |
| Flannel | lxuser: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ for the movement (moving to /boot instead of home) then you need to reinstall GRUB on the MBR (stage 1, see first link in !grub) to point to the new /boot partition | 08:22 |

| Flannel | lxuser: Oh, and adding it into your fstab | 08:22 |
| J-_ | How can I seen how much video memory I have? | 08:22 |
| comsa | lspci -vvv | 08:22 |
| hischild | lxuser: the best way to do this, would be to create a seperate /boot, then copy your current boot over, mount it over your current /boot, add it to /etc/fstab, tell grub to use your new partition instead of your old one and set it to active. (the setting active will usually be done by grub) | 08:23 |
| Flannel | lxuser: I suppose depending on how you do it, you may need to update more of your fstab (not if using UUIDs), and you may need to update your menu.lst as well. But nothing major | 08:23 |
| hischild | Flannel: running grub-install should fix that iirc | 08:24 |
| softtower | hischild: what is "bootable" flag is for? | 08:24 |
| No1CaNTeL | I'm not sure of the name of theguy who was just helping me with my screen brightness problem, but it has caused a fatal server error and I can't log back in on that pc | 08:24 |
| comsa | J-_ lspci -vvv in a terminal | 08:24 |
| Flannel | softtower, hischild, bootable flag doesn't matter unless you're running DOS | 08:25 |
| No1CaNTeL | can someone help me out? | 08:25 |
| hischild | Flannel: softtower: it also matters on the win bootloaders if they're run (which doesn't happen unless you run multiple win OS) | 08:25 |
| J-_ | comsa: hmm, doesn't really say.. Maybe I'll check out ##hardware | 08:25 |
| lxuser | Flannel, am looking at the link, but it seem that as you said it would have to be more than just update grub | 08:25 |
| softtower | Flannel: funny... why do Linux partitioners still include it then? (I totally believe you, I'm just curious) | 08:25 |
| hischild | softtower: due to DOS and win bootloaders still looking at them | 08:26 |
| Flannel | softtower: for completeness. So you can use linux to make other OSs happy | 08:26 |
| lxuser | Flannel, this link talks about new /home not new /boot | 08:26 |
| Flannel | lxuser: Well, you're basically just moving the stuff, and then updating everything with the new locations of the stuff you moved. | 08:26 |
| Flannel | lxuser: Right, like I said, /boot instead of /home, but the process is the same (cpio etc) | 08:27 |
| No1CaNTeL | anyone?? I dont mean to bug but I am screwed for work if I cant get back in :( | 08:27 |
| Flannel | lxuser: I'm sure theres a tutorial out there that actually uses the text "/boot" to demonstrate, but I'm familiar with this one. | 08:27 |

| orksnork | im having a problem with firefox...when i click on an email link, it's not opening a new message window in thunderbird...anyone got any ideas? | 08:28 |
| Dr-Willis | No1CaNTeL, can you even get to the console and log in? | 08:28 |
| No1CaNTeL | I was just in here getting help getting the brightness applet to work, someone walked me through changing the screen driver to Plug and Play, I did so and went to logoff like it said and when it came time to log bakc in I got a fatal server error | 08:29 |
| No1CaNTeL | and when I reboot I get each time | 08:29 |
| softtower | orksnork: interesting problem, can you please post a solution here? | 08:29 |
| No1CaNTeL | I am on another PC atm | 08:29 |
| lxuser | Flannel, so no boot sector...has to be updated? | 08:30 |
| Dr-Willis | No1CaNTeL, did you make a backup of your xorg.conf file? | 08:30 |
| No1CaNTeL | (EE) I810(0): No such video BIOS modes for chosen depth | 08:30 |
| hischild | No1CaNTeL: right. Easiest (probably fastest as well) would be to reboot into recovery mode, then run ==> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:30 |
| No1CaNTeL | and no, I had no wayt to know to do that :P | 08:30 |
| No1CaNTeL | I'm still uber | 08:30 |
| Flannel | lxuser: You need to make sure you reinstall GRUB stage1, to point to your new /boot partition, but no, as far as partitioning is concerned, you just need to make a second one and format it properly. | 08:30 |
| No1CaNTeL | I can get to a command console only, but not into teh gui | 08:30 |
| Dr-Willis | i bet you will REMBER from now on. :) | 08:30 |
| spartan7 | have a problem with my wireless card and WPA connection | 08:30 |
| Dr-Willis | No1CaNTeL, get to the command line, and use the command hischild said | 08:31 |
| No1CaNTeL | I can only remember what I know to remember :P I didnt know the changes were even saved to taht file | 08:31 |
| hischild | Dr-Willis: i know there are more elegant solutions, but he wants it back fast so i assumed you'd agree | 08:31 |
| Dr-Willis | hischild, i can never remoner that command. :) | 08:31 |
| Dr-Willis | i alwyas keep a set of dated backups of my xorg.conf heh ... | 08:32 |
| Dr-Willis | heck. He may have some backups | 08:32 |
| lxuser | Flannel, i think you just hit the nail in the head, yes GRUB stage1 is probably what i was looking for. I will look at the logic and pose any concern i may have, but i think this is it | 08:32 |
| spartan7 | i changed my router to no wireless security and my wireless card is still asking me for a wpa passphrase when i try to connect | 08:32 |
| hischild | Dr-Willis: he probably will. But figuring out what time those were and if they are useful would take even more time. | 08:32 |

| spartan7 | hischild: have 2 that say wired connection roaming for eth1 and eth0 | 08:39 |
| sguru | and how to do that | 08:39 |
| hischild | gluer: sguru: the whole problem is that grub doesn't recognize the file system. It most likely is looking at the wrong partition. Creating an ntfs partition isn't going to help in that. Just point it at the right partition. | 08:39 |
| gluer | sguru: i had the same issue with a 160bg laptop, i created a 32mb windows partition during installation, then booted correctly | 08:39 |

| hischild | Arelis: well tbqh that's not good. I'm unaware of any methods of switching resolutions without seeing what you're going. | 08:48 |
| Arelis | hischild: well since it happens from within GNOME, it has to be a user setting. Problem is, which? | 08:48 |
| softtower | Darkjustice: do you have other windows machines that can see your shares? (I just want to make sure it's not windows problem) | 08:48 |
| JustRock | Hi, everybody. | 08:49 |

| DarkJustice | softtower: not at the moment but before I installed ubuntu I had winblows on that box and it saw it with no problems | 08:49 |
| sguru | hischild: seperate means.... now i see /home/ubuntu | 08:49 |

| No1CaNTeL | is it possible to add a resolution to the screens and graphics list from within the gui? | 08:50 |
| hischild | sguru:what i meant was if, during your install previously, you created a seperate /home partition. | 08:50 |
| luke__kolol | im trying to use alien but it says it must run as root (or fakeroot) how do i run it as root?? | 08:50 |

| hischild | math: well that's just odd. See in your /boot if you have any other kernel other then the mise one. | 08:50 |
| hischild | luke__kolol: don't use alien. It's bad. | 08:50 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: umm what part of it? I have MYNETWORK listed as the workgroup if tha'ts what you mean | 08:51 |

| JustRock | I have a question, can apt-get use the multi-thread downloaders like aria2 and axel? | 08:51 |
| sguru | hischild: i used only one partition in which the entire linux was installed. So the entire / directory will be in a single partition | 08:51 |

| math | hischild: meaning, I can't find one with a smp string in its name | 08:52 |
| softtower | DarkJustice: hm... yea, I don't have any ideas. | 08:52 |
| hischild | luke__kolol: and .tar.gz is a source file usually. That means extract it and then compile it. | 08:52 |

| corza | I boot from CD and get a menu saying install etc | 08:57 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: I get Contents of folder could not be displayed | 08:57 |
| corza | Anyone? | 08:57 |
| softtower | DarkJustice: now check your /var/log directory for samba errors. | 08:57 |
| DarkJustice | ok | 08:57 |
| corza | and before you ask, Yes - i do feel stupid ;P | 08:58 |
| icesword | any way to see if my cdrom is broken,this day i try insert 4 cds,it always told me plz insert a cd | 08:58 |
| hischild | corza: i'm not following your question. What do you want? | 08:58 |
| corza | I dont know where the Grub menu is | 08:58 |
| comsa | bootable cd ?? | 08:58 |
| corza | Like, where im supposed to preses E | 08:58 |
| sguru | hischild: i have created the directory /mnt/sda and typed the command as such i get mediadirect drive mounted | 08:58 |
| hischild | corza: you don't have a grub menu on the cd. It's using the isolinux menu. and you can press E. | 08:59 |
| pajamian | icesword: try booting to a bootable CD, alternatively try swappign out the CD rom drive for one you know works. | 08:59 |
| bullgard4 | What means "comm" in the kernel message: "[79721.755165] Pid: 69, comm: kacpi_notify Not tainted 2.6.24-git9 #4"? | 08:59 |
| sguru | hischild: that drive shows the size as 4k by the commadn du -sh /mnt/sda | 08:59 |
| corza | So i dont use the CD? :S | 08:59 |
| tmroland | can anyone tell me whats wrong with dns at assa-electronic.ro | 08:59 |
| sguru | hischild: i think i have another device /dev/sda2 | 08:59 |
| icesword | pajamian, ok,thx | 09:00 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: I see one, unknown paramter encountered: "usermap" | 09:00 |
| hischild | sguru: then mount your drive at the place of your choice. | 09:00 |
| hischild | sguru: then chroot into the drive and run grub-update | 09:00 |
| corza | Right now im put the CD in (First boot device is cd) then i get a menu | 09:01 |
| corza | I click start/install Ubuntu - then it freezes after a while | 09:01 |
| softtower | Darkjustice: maybe you have this weird "usermap" in your samba config... At least you've got something to google :) | 09:01 |
| sguru | hischild: when i mount to /dev/sda2 the mount command asks for filesystem type | 09:01 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: yeah that's how it got there to begin with lol, I followed a how-to on how to get samba working | 09:02 |
| hischild | sguru: man mount and then give it the file system type | 09:02 |
| Cyborg | hi | 09:02 |
| Cyborg | i want to mount a ntfs partition | 09:02 |
| softtower | Darkjustice: sorry if I can't help. But I'd appreciate if you share the solution once you find what's wrong. | 09:02 |
| sguru | hischild: i dont know the file system type | 09:02 |
| Cyborg | somebody for help ? | 09:02 |
| softtower_ | f | 09:03 |
| hischild | sguru: then we're at a standstill as i don't know what your filesystem is. | 09:03 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: I sure will if I can but I'm pretty sure I'm too frustrated and gonna go back to windows at this point. It was so much easier to network | 09:03 |
| hischild | Cyborg: what's the problem? | 09:03 |
| Cyborg | i want to mount an ntfs partition man | 09:03 |
| corza | hischild: Please please help me - im realllly new to this | 09:03 |
| hischild | corza: then use my nick when speaking to me. What is it that you want? | 09:03 |
| ty | how do you reset gnome panels to default ? i have deleted the bottom panel and all the icons are mixed up in the top one | 09:03 |
| sguru | hischild: what do u mean by filesystem... I guess ntfs, ext3 ... right? by default ubuntu gets installed in what type of filesysytem | 09:04 |
| softtower | DarkJustice: as a long time Wndows user I can assure you that Linux is *much* better at networking, even on a windows network: much faster and automatic discovery of shares works much more reliable than XP. I am sorry you're having issue.s | 09:04 |
| hischild | sguru: you can choose what filesystem you want to use. | 09:04 |
| Lin1 | any answer to my problem please >>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745964 | 09:04 |
| corza | hischild: lol sorry im also new to irc -_- Right now im put the CD in (First boot device is cd) then i get a menu | 09:04 |
| hischild | corza: that's ok. | 09:04 |
| hischild | !tab | corza | 09:04 |
| ubotu | corza: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 09:04 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: yeah it's just frustrating since I'm so new to this and I've been plugging away at it googling, reading man pages etc. I'm about to just blow it up | 09:05 |
| hischild | corza: before we go on, tell me what your goal is, what you want to achieve. | 09:05 |
| Cyborg | i want to mount an ntfs partition someone for heping me to solve this problem ?> | 09:05 |
| softtower | DarkJustice: in my case it helped to read a linux book. cover to cover, over a weekend, without even touching a computer. | 09:05 |
| lesshaste | I've installed memtest86+ now how do I see what files are in that package? | 09:05 |
| corza | hischild: i want to intall Ubuntu over win XP | 09:05 |
| lesshaste | dpkg -c memtest86+ fails | 09:05 |
| ChUrRo | can any one tell me the channel of compiz support? | 09:05 |
| hischild | Cyborg: you've stated 4 times that you want to mount an ntfs partition. Yet you haven't told us a single time what the problem exactly is. | 09:05 |
| lesshaste | ChUrRo: #compiz | 09:06 |
| Cyborg | that is the problem i want to mount :) | 09:06 |
| hischild | corza: ok. And is there a reason why you can't just select install? | 09:06 |
| ChUrRo | thanks | 09:06 |
| DarkJustice | softtower: ok I might try that but doubtful, at this point I'm ready to just quit, about to have a coronary | 09:06 |
| hischild | Cyborg: mount <partition> <location> | 09:06 |
| Cyborg | hmm without any programs ? | 09:06 |
| luke__kolol | what is the best linux distro? | 09:06 |
| DarkJustice | Cyborg if you don't have ntfs-3g do sudo get-apt install ntfs-3g... then you can mount ntfs | 09:06 |
| softtower | yes, books help :) | 09:06 |
| Cyborg | k... | 09:07 |
| corza | hischild: yes, it freezes after i click install and then the scroll lock light and capslock light blinks | 09:07 |
| hischild | Cyborg: yes | 09:07 |
| Cyborg | i don't have any programs | 09:07 |
| Cyborg | and linux don't read and write | 09:07 |
| Cyborg | in ntfs parititions | 09:07 |
| ty | luke__kolol:ubuntu / kubuntu is pretty easy to get used to | 09:07 |
| corza | hischild: howeer it does get past the kernel loading | 09:07 |
| hischild | Cyborg: ntfs-3g can read. | 09:07 |
| lesshaste | : I mean how do I see the contents of a package I install via apt-get in general? I.e. which files were in it | 09:07 |
| DarkJustice | Cyborg: ubuntu will read and write to ntfs with no problems | 09:07 |
| lesshaste | DarkJustice: what is the problem? | 09:07 |
| hischild | corza: alright. Then hit f6 on that line to edit the line and remove quiet and splash. | 09:07 |
| Cyborg | hischild: i read the ntfs-3g site and he needs a fuse..or something like this | 09:08 |
| comsa | corza sounds like a hardware porb | 09:08 |
| DarkJustice | lesshaste: thanks, umm having samba issues, won't see my xp box and windows won't see the ubuntu box | 09:08 |
| comsa | problem | 09:08 |
| hischild | Cyborg: can be. First install ntfs-3g, then add yourself to the fuse group. | 09:08 |
| lesshaste | DarkJustice: aha... have you tried a more samba-ish forum/channel? | 09:08 |
| Cyborg | hmmm what is fuse ? | 09:08 |
| lesshaste | DarkJustice: for example, #samaba | 09:08 |
| lesshaste | oops | 09:08 |
| corza | alrighty ill try that | 09:08 |
| lesshaste | #samba | 09:08 |
| Cyborg | ...tell me exactly want i can do | 09:08 |
| hischild | Cyborg: do you have an Ubuntu system? | 09:09 |
| Lin1 | and he will say NO | 09:09 |
| Lin1 | ;)) | 09:09 |
| Cyborg | kubuntu | 09:09 |
| DarkJustice | lesshaste: no not yet, I also had a ntfs mounting issue I was hoping to get fixed, like Cyborg. However I got mine mounted, but it won't auto mount upon reboot, and I've tried to edit the fstab | 09:09 |
| hischild | Cyborg: then join #kubuntu | 09:09 |
| Cyborg | hmmm | 09:09 |
| lesshaste | I mean how do I see the contents of a package I install via apt-get in general? I.e. which files were in it | 09:09 |
| Cyborg | hischild: i can't | 09:09 |
| Lin1 | LOOL | 09:09 |
| Cyborg | so i can get some help ? | 09:09 |
| hischild | Cyborg: because? /j #kubuntu | 09:10 |
| lesshaste | DarkJustice: ok | 09:10 |
| corza | hischild: it stops after 2 "SATA link downs" and a few extra lines | 09:10 |
| ty | where is the setting for gnome panel stored for each user? | 09:10 |
| Lin1 | i think Cyborg is a 9 years old child | 09:10 |

| math | hischild: thanks ubuntu-de helped me out: as you suggested, was wrong kernel: linux-386 instead of linux-386-generic thanks a lot | 09:12 |
| hischild | <Cyborg> kubuntu <== you do have kubuntu, not ubuntu. Please join #kubuntu for help. | 09:12 |
| RedScare | that doesn't look right dark | 09:12 |
| Lin1 | Cyborg: u sayd that u have Kubuntu, not Ubuntu | 09:12 |
| bullgard4 | unop: What is the function of the process 'kacpi_notify' which sometimes is active on my Ubuntu 7.10? | 09:12 |

| corza | hischild: well it passed that, Now it says: Audigy 2 - speacial config | 09:12 |
| corza | Oooh my audigy is broken | 09:12 |
| Cyborg | i have both | 09:12 |
| corza | It freezes XP... that could be why | 09:12 |
| Cyborg | kubuntu and ubuntu | 09:12 |
| Lin1 | :| | 09:12 |
| Cyborg | it's there a problem ? | 09:13 |
| corza | Ill take my audigy out | 09:13 |
| Lin1 | on the same HDD? | 09:13 |
| hischild | Cyborg: other then that i don't know anything about kubuntu and only about Ubuntu | 09:13 |
| Cyborg | sure | 09:13 |
| Cyborg | i read all the sites about mounting | 09:13 |
| alan_m | cyborg, are you asking for kubuntu help? | 09:13 |
| Cyborg | and it's tell me to install some programs | 09:13 |
| Cyborg | nop | 09:13 |
| RedScare | try | 09:13 |
| Cyborg | ntfs-3g, libfuse2 and fuse | 09:14 |
| hischild | Cyborg: Ubuntu can read ntfs partitions just fine, thank you. | 09:14 |
| RedScare | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windows/ -o force | 09:14 |
| Cyborg | these 3 programs | 09:14 |
| Cyborg | RedScare: before u paste commands u may tell me if i have that programs | 09:14 |
| unop_ | bullgard4, judging from it's name, i'd say it is a kernel process, related to ACPI, can't say exactly what tho | 09:14 |
| Cyborg | :) | 09:14 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, what version of ubuntu are you on? | 09:14 |
| Cyborg | tell me the command | 09:14 |
| Cyborg | for version | 09:15 |
| DarkJustice | RedScare: yeah I got the HD mounted with no issues, but it's when I reboot, I read I needed to add a command in fstab | 09:15 |
| Cyborg | lbs_licence -a ? | 09:15 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, and don't cross-post in channels, it's not polite | 09:15 |
| RedScare | rather | 09:15 |
| Lin1 | hischild: give him the cmdz to run in the terminal | 09:15 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, lsb_release -a | 09:15 |
| bullgard4 | unop_: Ok. Thank you. | 09:15 |

| jjjj5555 | cyborg, what is you problem? I just joined | 09:16 |
| Cyborg | hello | 09:16 |
| DarkJustice | Cyborg: it's NOT going to mount unless you get ntfs-3g | 09:16 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g # and try again | 09:16 |
| Cyborg | i want to mount a ntfs partition | 09:16 |
| Cyborg | DarkJustice: read about it but i need some programs + ntfs-3g | 09:17 |
| unop_ | . o 0 ( troll ?? ) | 09:17 |
| Cyborg | tell me exactly what programs | 09:17 |
| Cyborg | ntfs-3g, libfuse2 ? | 09:17 |
| Cyborg | ntfs-3g, libfuse2 and fuse ? | 09:17 |
| hischild | Cyborg: you've been told multiple times. Please don't come back here untill you've done what you've been suggested. | 09:17 |
| DarkJustice | Cyborg: no you don't... you need to go to command prompt and type sudo get-apt install ntfs-3g... that will get it and install it | 09:17 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, just install this dude and be done with all this foolery. sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g | 09:17 |
| alan_m | cyborg, try putting the command unop_ just gave you in a terminal, go to applications->accessories->terminal and type in sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g | 09:18 |
| Cyborg | k | 09:18 |
| DarkJustice | I just went through that myself Cyborg, now I just can't get it to automount on reboot | 09:18 |
| Cyborg | but if ntfs-3g will request for other programs what i can do to unop_ ? | 09:18 |
| Lin1 | to all helping Cyborg: cant he just installubuntu/kubuntu 8.04?? and problems are bye bye | 09:19 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, install them all! | 09:19 |
| Cyborg | unop_: if u told me from the first what i can to to mount a ntfs partition it was just fine | 09:19 |
| unop_ | Lin1, 8.04 isnt officially supported, so thats a 'problem' in here | 09:19 |
| RedScare | my vista x86 drive was auto mounting just fine until i instructed gnome to not show on desktop | 09:19 |
| pajamian | cyberjames: if it needs other programs it will automatically install them too. | 09:19 |
| RedScare | wild | 09:19 |
| Lin1 | fine 7.10 | 09:19 |
| alan_m | lin1, 8.04 is beta and not yet supported, so....if we tell him to do that and he has more problems than originally stated, were..stuck. | 09:19 |
| pajamian | errrr Cyborg | 09:19 |
| RedScare | does 8.04 have better power management? | 09:20 |
| unop_ | Cyborg, i've been trying to help you but you've just been doing what you like .. | 09:20 |

| Cyborg | hmmm | 09:23 |
| Cyborg | is dead channel | 09:23 |
| Cyborg | with a few ppls | 09:23 |
| pajamian | icesword: then pop open the case, make sure all the cables are seated properly and try again, if it still doesn't work run out and buy a new cdrom drive. | 09:23 |
| alan_m | cyborg, if you ask your question in there im guessing they will "wake up" | 09:23 |
| alan_m | :) | 09:23 |

| Cyborg | i ask | 09:23 |
| Cyborg | nothing happens | 09:23 |
| [[thufir]] | how do you start phpmyadmin? | 09:23 |
| RedScare | you need to set it, or don't actually, you're better off not | 09:23 |
| Cyborg | so can somebody help me here ? | 09:23 |
| pajamian | !root | DarkJustice | 09:23 |
| ubotu | DarkJustice: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:23 |
| alan_m | cyborg, we tried, you dont understand us, we cant explain it any simpler | 09:24 |
| DarkJustice | ubotu: right I read about that and figured I could just use sudo for everything | 09:24 |
| DarkJustice | oops | 09:24 |
| alan_m | Darkjustice, ubotu is a bot, it wont hold a conversation. | 09:24 |
| === drtm is now known as eth01 | ||
| pajamian | DarkJustice: if you really need root then: sudo su - | 09:24 |
| unop_ | pajamian, sudo -i .. is better | 09:24 |
| Cyborg | alan_m: i understood but tell me what i must install for mounting a ntfs partition | 09:24 |
| hsa | hello Cyborg & everybody.. first of all did any of you asked Cyborg what is the error msg he gets when wanna mount the ntfs? | 09:25 |
| DarkJustice | pajamian: no I just was explaining to RedScare that I log in as a user because there is no root "pass" by default, he asked how I logged in | 09:25 |
| RedScare | but if you gedit the contents of fstab and they are in tact like you say | 09:25 |
| alan_m | cyborg, we have told you numerous times, you refuse to pay attention buddy. | 09:25 |
| yiliu137 | hello | 09:25 |
| unop_ | hsa, he wont even try that :) | 09:25 |
| Cyborg | u don't told me | 09:25 |
| Cyborg | i just want to install all i need and then mount | 09:25 |
| Cyborg | is so hard to understand ? | 09:25 |
| hsa | but you have to man, so we can analyze! | 09:25 |
| DarkJustice | Cyborg: listen, I JUST went thru this.... yesterday.. go to a terminal and type this ...... sudo get-apt ntfs-3g install | 09:26 |
| Cyborg | k | 09:26 |
| pajamian | unop_: I didn't know about that, thanks. Looks like it does the same thing. | 09:26 |
| unop_ | DarkJustice, err no .. wrong syntax | 09:26 |
| hischild | hsa: no we have not. It won't be of any help. He refuses to pay attention to our suggestions. | 09:26 |
| * alan_m steps back because i signed the CoC | 09:26 | |
| hsa | k | 09:26 |
| SpaT | can someone please tell me why this does not work? ln -s /sysmlink /target/dir | 09:26 |
| DarkJustice | oops sorry, sudo get-apt install ntfs-3g | 09:26 |
| pajamian | DarkJustice: ahhh, ok | 09:26 |
| RedScare | Dark, this may be a stupid question, but you're not commenting out that ntfs mount line are you | 09:27 |
| SpaT | the /sysmlink does not get created | 09:27 |
| pajamian | DarkJustice: you mean apt-get | 09:27 |
| unop_ | pajamian, sudo -i is equivalent to sudo su | 09:27 |
| hsa | carry on Cyborg | 09:27 |
| Till__ | hey ihr, habe folgendes problem, wenn ich meinen pc starte, läd er busybox, die frage ist wie kann ich diesen "mist" ;) wieder deinstallieren ohne den ubuntu-desktop und andere dinge zu entfernen? | 09:27 |

| unop_ | Cyborg, whatever is needed by ntfs-3g . that package on its own will pull in whatever it needs | 09:29 |
| alan_m | if you skip one thing cyborg, your computer could be serverly unstable. | 09:29 |

| hischild | unop_: don't tell me you don't understand. | 09:34 |
| pajamian | Cyborg: you need ntfs-3g as many have already said, but your version of ubuntu doesn't supply it, so you need to do a bit mroe work to get it going. Read the info at the link unop_ gave you it is the best help you will get. | 09:34 |
| Michae1 | you can | 09:34 |
| corza | hischild: No problem man, I fixed the problem before - no freezing now - just the monitor wont display anything after the loading | 09:34 |
| Michae1 | but | 09:34 |
| softtower | my X session just froze... | 09:34 |
| unop_ | hischild, i'm way past understanding .. i sympathise totally :) | 09:35 |
| hsa | ok if you have ntfs-3g installed it will install all other things you need.. just check whether it's installed | 09:35 |
| Cyborg | pajamian: 10x for tip what programs do i need +ntfs-3g ? | 09:35 |
| softtower | Before that I asked a question: how come "Private Chat" feature on IRC isn't working? I tried answering several people's questions using it, but nothing happened? | 09:35 |
| meorero | join #ubuntu-il | 09:35 |
| corza | hischild: i was using an LD, hence the "Image not Support" error, But i tried an old monnitor and it just displays a black screen | 09:35 |
| hischild | softtower: i answered your Q | 09:35 |
| corza | LCD* | 09:35 |
| hischild | Cyborg: Q.Q | 09:35 |
| unop_ | hsa, dude, you're as bad as he is .. dapper _does_ not include ntfs-3g he needs to manually install it -- get him to read the link i posted up there and close this chapter, easy | 09:35 |
| pajamian | Cyborg: just read the page that unop_ linked to. | 09:35 |
| Cyborg | k. | 09:35 |
| Cyborg | 10x | 09:35 |
| Cyborg | pajamian: tell me my version don't support ntfs-3g and i need to install aditional programs | 09:36 |
| Michae1 | maybe someday we will have PC with A.I. and some of the problems will just....go away | 09:36 |
| Cyborg | what are these programs ? | 09:36 |
| pajamian | Cyborg: it will all be explained in the link | 09:36 |

| corza | Sorry if i seem pushy, Ive been trying to install it for hours | 09:37 |
| Cyborg | pajamian: libfuse2 and fuse will help me to work just fine with ntfs-3g ? | 09:37 |
| hischild | corza: old screens just go black when getting an unsupported mode. | 09:37 |
| hsa | unop_ i'm sorry.. but i started with ubuntu just from 7.04 | 09:37 |
| corza | hischild: I know... Im wondering how to make it display the rest of the ubuntu install | 09:38 |
| unop | hsa, it's ok, just get him to read the link please .. this is way past annoying now | 09:38 |
| hsa | i've no idea about the older versions | 09:38 |
| hischild | corza: i'm sorry but i'm not going to be of much help :( perhaps the alternate installer will work better for you. | 09:38 |
| Cyborg | unop_: | 09:38 |
| Cyborg | unop_: libfuse2 and fuse will help me to work just fine with ntfs-3g ? | 09:38 |

| alan_m | dude....that was the LONGEST help session ive ever done. | 09:44 |
| sguru | hischild: are you there? | 09:45 |
| hischild | yes | 09:45 |

| epitron | :D | 09:45 |
| Michae1 | Smegzor2: his from romania | 09:45 |
| pajamian | gah, I thought he'd never leave. | 09:45 |
| Smegzor2 | I wish I was | 09:45 |
| hsa | oh ya.. i'm almost new to IRC [used it long time ago] | 09:45 |
| Michae1 | like me | 09:45 |

| epitron | "are you drunk because you're stupid, or are you stupid because you're drunk??" | 09:45 |
| sguru | hischild: I tried to mount /dev/sda2 but i was not able to do that | 09:45 |
| alan_m | lets not judge mkay? | 09:45 |
| epitron | it's too late. i have passed sentence. | 09:45 |
| sguru | hischild: ntfs type and ext3 type failed | 09:45 |

| unop | sguru, ^^ | 09:47 |
| hischild | unop: i know but i prefer to give him GUI tools on it. | 09:47 |
| alan_m | dang, its been that long, i didnt think about it till just now michael, heh, were going offtopic though so yeah :/ | 09:47 |
| Smegzor2 | I have a confession to make.. I'm running an unregistered copy of Ubuntu, oh and its pirated too ;) | 09:47 |
| unop | hischild, ahh ok | 09:47 |
| sguru | hischild: it tells unallocated | 09:47 |
| ThreeFingerPete | one question. if i try to run a 64 distro on a 32 bit machine, will it break it? or simply not run? | 09:47 |
| alan_m | Smegzor2: im running an uregged copy myself! :D | 09:48 |
| unop | ThreeFingerPete, the latter | 09:48 |
| sguru | hischild: i think so i have lost my partition | 09:48 |
| alan_m | ThreeFingerPete: it just wont run | 09:48 |
| === yclian` is now known as yclian | ||
| hischild | sguru: would mean it's unallocated (so yes) | 09:48 |
| ThreeFingerPete | thanks unop and alan_m | 09:48 |
| hischild | sguru: i have to reboot. Back in a few minutes | 09:48 |
| sguru | any way to recover | 09:48 |
| Michae1 | Smegzor2: OMG!! Ubuntu Secret Service go and wipe his harddrive =)) ^^ | 09:49 |
| Smegzor2 | how do I list the devices detected by Ubuntu and what would a tv tuner card list as? | 09:49 |
| Smegzor2 | :O | 09:49 |
| unop | Smegzor2, lspci should tell you that | 09:49 |
| Dr_willis | Smegzor2, also dmesg may show some info | 09:49 |
| unop | Smegzor2, or lshw | 09:49 |
| T1m0thy | Bah, what's the command to run Synaptic? | 09:49 |
| Dr_willis | T1m0thy, synaptic :) | 09:49 |

| Bertan | Hello, im tring to get Wine sound to work in Hardy. I got the answer in the winehq channel that I have to disable pulsaudio. So how do I do that? | 09:50 |
| pajamian | !hardy | Bertan | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | !pulseaudio | 09:50 |
| ubotu | Bertan: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 09:50 |

| Smegzor2 | try synaptic without capital S | 09:50 |
| unop | alan_m, not really necessary -- synaptic can sudo when needed | 09:50 |
| alan_m | unop, hm...youd think after 2 years of ubuntu i would know that by now :/ | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | LiNuX iS CaSe SenSeTiVe | 09:51 |
| alan_m | Dr_willis: yup | 09:52 |
| unop | alan_m, well, i dunno, do you? it's recommended you run synaptic under a non-privileged user anyway | 09:52 |
| Dr_willis | Ive never noticed synaptic sudoing as needed... | 09:52 |
| Michae1 | Michael 1234 | 09:52 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| alan_m | unop, i unfotunately pretty much always use the menu's to get to it..which makes it run under gksu. | 09:52 |
| Marsjanin | Hello! Could anybody halp me with Claws Mail's filestore settings? | 09:52 |
| pajamian | update manager sudos as needed, and so does add/remove programs, bu synaptic always sudos when it's started for me, so I would assume that it always needs to be run in sudo. | 09:53 |
| Bertan | Still don't understand how to get wine sound to work in hardy, is there guide or something? | 09:53 |
| hischild | pajamian: correct | 09:53 |

| WaZ` | lol | 09:55 |
| WaZ` | when is 8.04 due? | 09:55 |
| hischild | unop: pajamian: you can start synaptic without sudo. You can mark stuff, change stuff, but can't apply those changes, yet you can only export them. | 09:55 |
| hischild | WaZ`: this month. | 09:55 |
| alan_m | few weeks WaZ` | 09:55 |

| Bullant | WaZ it is due in 19 days | 09:55 |
| hischild | pajamian: yes basically. Though you have to run it from command line to run it as user. | 09:56 |
| WaZ` | thanks alan_m and Bullant | 09:56 |

| sguru | any suggestion for partition retrieval package | 10:07 |
| Michael88 | register 1988 | 10:08 |
| sguru | pajamian: can u suggest some package to retrieve the partition | 10:09 |
| pajamian | sguru: as for as I know testdisk has retrieval functionality. | 10:09 |
| sguru | how to install it if i am running on Live cd | 10:10 |
| sguru | will apt-get install do it? | 10:10 |
| pajamian | ummmm, best to find a live CD that has it. | 10:10 |
| unop_ | sguru, as long as the live CD is connected upto the net, sure | 10:10 |
| sguru | oh | 10:11 |
| ere4si | sudo apt-get works with the live cd | 10:11 |
| ere4si | just doesn't save installed packages | 10:11 |
| Dr_willis | and dont be downloading huge GB's of data. :) | 10:12 |
| sguru | but i get message saying couldnt find the package | 10:12 |
| unop_ | it might be worth mentioning that you must be careful installing packages within a live CD session, you can crash it if you installed too much | 10:12 |
| pajamian | sguru: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Livecd | 10:12 |
| unop_ | sguru, you probably need to enable the ubuntu universe repository | 10:12 |
| sguru | yes how to do it | 10:12 |
| x1250 | I have fulled the live-cd and it didn't crashed... | 10:13 |
| x1250 | crash* | 10:13 |
| unop_ | sguru, know how to edit /etc/apt/sources.list? | 10:13 |
| pajamian | sguru: I would just grab one of those listed livecd's that comes with testdisk pre-installed and use that. | 10:13 |
| selig5 | /exit | 10:13 |
| sguru | but for that i have to burn a cd within the live session | 10:14 |
| sguru | right? i dont even have a cd.. only dvds | 10:14 |
| unop_ | sguru, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine | 10:14 |
| sguru | i have sources.lst open | 10:15 |
| jjjj5555 | how can I speed up my Ubuntu? | 10:15 |
| unop_ | sguru, just replace dapper or whatever it is with the live CD's version name | 10:15 |
| odder | jjjj5555: there are multiple tutorials on this, try google | 10:15 |
| jjjj5555 | I did try that, but I somehow think the system is overloaded... | 10:16 |
| pajamian | sguru: it also lists a couple of rescue boot disks with it, I think floppy disk images. | 10:16 |
| jcarey75 | What's the best util for analyzing a reiserfs for "lost space"? I deleted some temp files, but have not regained the 95GB that were deleted. | 10:16 |
| Bullant | odder: try something like ubuntuguide.org they have a few ideas on how to do it | 10:16 |
| jcarey75 | trash is cleared | 10:16 |
| odder | Bullant: it's not me who's asking ;-) | 10:16 |
| Bullant | lol.. srry.. half asleep.. | 10:17 |

| rhandyk | unop_: especially if youre looking at the wrong place a passwd file on the remote shell | 10:23 |

| jcarey75 | unop_, well, I cleared the trash for both root and my user acct (this happened after a failed restore with sbackup) afterward I rebooted and reiserfs ran a quick fsck at boot, I'm not familiar with sync or remounting other than < mount -a > | 10:28 |
| bazhang | |Dede|: what is the problem; did you run that command | 10:28 |
| |Dede| | I have, that's what it tells me | 10:28 |
| |Dede| | don't wanna spam that here ;) | 10:28 |
| bazhang | |Dede|: best to ask in #compiz-fusion for that | 10:28 |
| unop_ | jcarey75, hmm, if you've rebooted then there would be no need to do a sync or remount .. i can't think of anything really except that you might have overlooked something perhaps? | 10:29 |
| unop_ | jcarey75, just how did you delete all those files? | 10:29 |
| ryanzec | how do add a group through command line? | 10:30 |
| jcarey75 | unop_, on a second run of that command "du -a ...." a new file shows up at the top shows as "80286923 . " I deleted the restored directories and files using gksudo nautilus (needed permission), most of them deleted fine, but the tmp file / dir structure created by sbackup seems to be missing. | 10:31 |
| unop_ | ryanakca, addgroup and groupadd -- see their manpages | 10:31 |
| ryanzec | unop_ I ahve tried both /usr/bin/groupadd and usr/bin/addgroup and both say they are not a command | 10:32 |
| ryanzec | nvm | 10:33 |
| shubuntu | has anyone tried to install photoshop cs3 on wine? | 10:33 |
| unop_ | jcarey75, well, maybe you can run this command using a part of a filename that you deleted earlier to see if it still exists on disk. find /path/ -iname "*filename*" | less | 10:33 |
| ryanzec | i don't need usr/bin | 10:33 |
| hischild | shubuntu: iirc not really. | 10:33 |
| hischild | !appdb | 10:33 |
| ubotu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 10:33 |

| hischild | jaffarkelshac: is vlc set to use alsa? | 11:30 |
| xukun | stefg, my problem is not that the panels don't work, they work just fine. but if bush the mute button it shows it mutes but I can still heard the sound | 11:30 |
| jaffarkelshac | not sure hischild | 11:30 |
| xukun | stefg, before I mean I reinstalled ubuntu yesterday | 11:31 |
| jaffarkelshac | my card is a realtec, is there drivers for it? | 11:31 |
| stefg | xukun: so some mixer setting might be screwed. what sound hardware is that? | 11:31 |
| lesshaste | how do I see the contents of a package I install via apt-get in general? I.e. which files were in it | 11:31 |
| hischild | jaffarkelshac: Ubuntu (as other linux distro's) don't use drivers. It uses modules. | 11:31 |

| jaffarkelshac | ok, hischild you are the first ti tell me about this modules. i learn something new everyday | 11:32 |
| hischild | jaffarkelshac: the main linux kernel has a part in it, that allows for the dynamic loading of modules. They handle the interfacing with hardware. | 11:33 |
| icesword_ | no ,i want to know root (hd0,X),how to write kernel command ,in that menu.lst | 11:33 |
| icesword_ | now | 11:33 |
| hischild | jaffarkelshac: basically the same as the drivers from winows. | 11:33 |
| jaffarkelshac | i am not sure where to enable alsa in vlc | 11:33 |

| harold | b43xx ? | 11:56 |

| harold | got an atheros now it works very well :) | 11:57 |
| p | thanks a bye bye il see you later | 11:57 |
| miggilinme | and I've got two, one actually works now, but this other one I've been on the entire day | 11:57 |
| rcandeias | can you tell me what is this? | 11:57 |
| lesshaste | how do I resolve Package libtommath is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 11:57 |
| harold | LucasVieites: you need to add the second user in the group sound | 11:57 |
| miggilinme | which in my time zone ends not too far from now | 11:57 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, make sure you are unloading them in the proper order | 11:58 |
| bullgard4 | What means "comm" in the kernel message: "[79721.755165] Pid: 69, comm: kacpi_notify Not tainted 2.6.24-git9 #4"? | 11:58 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, okay i'll try | 11:58 |
| kraut | hi | 11:58 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, also, look into KVM and QEMU. IIRC they are MUCH faster if your processor supports KVM handles | 11:58 |
| kraut | how do i pair my mobile under gnome? | 11:58 |
| miggilinme | Does anyone have any idea why a network interface wouldn't show up then? | 11:59 |

| lusius | saminthemiddle, amd 6400+ x2 | 11:59 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, and I mean orders of magnitude faster owing to the fact that KVM doesn't require the processor to be emulated | 11:59 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, is it corporate stuff or is it free? | 12:00 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: that means when i cat /proc/cpuinfo it should list kvm as one of the flags? | 12:00 |
| erUSUL | !virtualizers | 12:00 |
| ubotu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 12:00 |
| LucasVieites | harold: could you remind me the command for adding a user to a group? | 12:00 |
| LucasVieites | usermod username -G sound | 12:00 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, it's free | 12:00 |
| harold | there's a gui in system administration user and groups LucasVieites | 12:01 |
| erUSUL | hischild: no, the flag is svm iirc | 12:01 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, uhmmm my goal is to play maplestory and diablo 1, both of thoose doesn't work with wine... | 12:01 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild: yes, it should show KVM support | 12:01 |

| rcandeias | can somebody help me? | 12:01 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, so i just "apt-get install qemu" the ubuntu way? | 12:01 |
| hischild | erUSUL: saminthemiddle: wait which flag is it? cuz my laptop and main box both show the svm flag but not the kvm flag. | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | i thought diablo1 was a dos game. :) | 12:02 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius: oh god, gaming in a virtual machine! you're crazy if you think you can do that w/o processor virtualization (not emulation) | 12:02 |
| erUSUL | hischild: svm or vmx | 12:02 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, xD | 12:02 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, and kvm, go google it; they can show you better than I can, it's really easy to do too | 12:02 |
| erUSUL | hischild: from kvm faq run this: egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo | 12:02 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild, one moment | 12:02 |
| JPSman | so Im too far away to inject - how likely is it that I can get enough IV's while just listening to the networks? | 12:02 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, but will kvm help me? ^^ | 12:02 |
| hischild | erUSUL: well both have the svm flag, i know that. That'd mean i could enable the amd specific stuff in vbox? | 12:03 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, it will certainly make it run faster. It won't help with the vid. I don't think graphics acceleration works in virtual machines... | 12:03 |
| icesword_ | Dr_willis, diablo,dos game.lol.i play it,hehehlol | 12:03 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, aahw screw it | 12:04 |
| erUSUL | hischild: afaik vbox does not use that extensions it is kvm (a qeume fork who use them). But i never used vbox it could have added support for that stuff | 12:04 |
| lusius | saminthemiddle, but tnx anyways | 12:04 |
| ctothej | where can i find the list of standard keyboard keycodes (keysyms) like "Control_L"? | 12:04 |
| rinaldi_ | whats the default file sharing app in ubuntu? | 12:04 |
| hischild | erUSUL: under extended features i quote: "Enable VT-x/AMD-V" is that related to it? it's no big deal, i'm just wondering. | 12:05 |
| frame05 | hsfhdgjhdg | 12:05 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild, I think it's VME, but I'm not sure about that | 12:05 |
| ctothej | rinaldi_: what kind of file sharing? | 12:05 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: yup that one is there as well | 12:06 |
| erhapp | hello. Are there any keyboard shortcuts to switch to the desktop and opening nautilus in Ubuntu? (Like Windows+D and Windows+E under windows) | 12:06 |
| JPSman | how can I boost my wireless signal? | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | hischild: yes it is | 12:06 |
| JPSman | tinfoil? | 12:06 |
| saminthemiddle | lusius, yeah, sorry about that but VM really never was meant for gaming. You could play old games meant for old computers though... but not anything like Diablo | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | JPSman, build a cantanna. :) | 12:06 |
| hischild | erUSUL: alright i'll give it a shot ... would it crash if it doesn't have support? :P | 12:07 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild: just try it, if it doesn't work you will know it ;-) | 12:07 |
| kraut | how do i pair my mobile under gnome via bluetooth on gutsy? | 12:07 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: i don't really like surprises :P but i'm going to give it a shot now :-) just have to enable the host only networking again | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | hischild: dunno ;) | 12:08 |
| ctothej | erhapp: you can customize keyboard shortcuts in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" menu under System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts | 12:08 |

| SliMM | could anyone help me with a bluetooth problem? | 12:11 |
| kraut | fuck this channel | 12:11 |
| Shiiii | hey all | 12:11 |
| saminthemiddle | kraut: google is cool, seriously. google "pinhelper," the first hit returns your answer | 12:11 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild: no idea | 12:11 |
| SliMM | whenever i try to connect to a bluetooth device, i get this error message: "obex://[00:19:b7:4e:e4:bb]" is not a valid location. | 12:12 |

| erUSUL | kraypius: sorry not meant for you :| | 12:12 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: well i'm not having much luck with the amd-v stuff :P and i'm trying to convert a vhd to vdi which is a pain so far | 12:12 |
| Kiborg | Should I be using rkhunter for security reasons? | 12:12 |
| SliMM | and i have no idea why that happenes | 12:13 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild, did you modprobe kvm and kvm-amd? | 12:13 |
| hischild | lol no | 12:13 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: should i? (i know, probably yes) | 12:13 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild: won't work w/o it | 12:13 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: it's booting alright, just slow like i've never seen before | 12:14 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild: using the command kvm bla bla bla /home/yourfile? | 12:14 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: nope, just enabled the switch in vbox and booted it. It was incredibly slow and jittery, but it was just booting. Attempt 2 with kvm going now. | 12:14 |
| === icesword_ is now known as hp | ||
| Kiborg | Should I be using rkhunter for security reasons? | 12:15 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild, try the kvm thing from the command line | 12:15 |
| gogeta | kiborg if your running a server | 12:15 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: tbqh i have no idea how to do that. I only use vbox for some stuff at school dat requires windows so far ... | 12:16 |
| gogeta | hischild why not vmware | 12:16 |
| Kiborg | Things go like this. I am making a laptop system for a person that needs its sys run and forget. | 12:17 |
| saminthemiddle | hischild, it's really easy. go look it up on google, there are lots of tutorials | 12:17 |
| lopin | Anybody know a format that I can convert to ping over the terminal? | 12:17 |
| hischild | gogeta: because vbox blazed vmware out of the window already in terms of speed. | 12:17 |
| lopin | Like a *topng command? | 12:17 |
| hischild | saminthemiddle: alright i'll check it | 12:17 |
| gogeta | hischild odd being vmware is the only one with d3d support | 12:17 |
| slimjimflim | anybody having problems w/ audio working for flash movies since the last update or so? | 12:17 |
| hischild | gogeta: i don't use d3d in vbox | 12:17 |
| Kiborg | It needs to be as easy to use as possible and secure as hell because you wouldn't believe what I found on it's win run laptop! | 12:18 |
| gogeta | vbox doesent have it | 12:18 |
| gogeta | lol | 12:18 |
| saminthemiddle | slimjimflim: nope, fine here. Are you using a sound server? | 12:18 |
| slimjimflim | saminthemiddle, yea | 12:18 |
| gogeta | kibord vmware is easy all gui based | 12:18 |
| hischild | gogeta: if i need d3d i'll use either wine or run it on their pc's. | 12:18 |
| saminthemiddle | slimjimflim: aaaaagh, I feel old. I remember when sound servers were something exotic :-P | 12:18 |
| slimjimflim | saminthemiddle, whe xine plugin works fine, as does standalone players | 12:19 |
| gogeta | kiborg if he cant push a icon and push power on lol | 12:19 |

| penper | hi! Today when I started my computer the resolution was at 640x480 and it can't go up higher. I'm running Hardy Beta with the NVIDIA 169.12 driver. Anyone knows what's up_ | 12:19 |
| MasterMel | doe anyone know why i only have options for low resolution while i have selected the correct drivers for my videocard | 12:20 |
| gogeta | penperkernel updates can remove the drivers | 12:20 |
| slimjimflim | saminthemiddle, running, xubuntu gutsy | 12:20 |
| erUSUL | !hardy | penper | 12:20 |
| ubotu | penper: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 12:20 |
| saminthemiddle | slimjimflim: hmm, that's odd. Did you search the bug database for "flash-plugin sound"? | 12:21 |
| MasterMel | penper: i have the same problem! did you just reinstalled it? | 12:21 |
| slimjimflim | nope, do you have a link? | 12:21 |
| penper | MasterMel: yes. I've tried reinstalling the nvidia driver and running dpkg-reconfigure. But let's take the discussion in #ubuntu-1 | 12:21 |
| MasterMel | ok | 12:22 |
| coachz | hi, with these apps like parallels or vmware (or something else), is there a way to have my computer boot up with both XP AND Ubunto loaded automatically and toggle between them without me having to open a dialog box each time and start up the "2nd" OS everytime I boot up? | 12:22 |
| rinaldi_ | ctothej: sorry, more specific, you know like samba shares or nfs, what does it use? | 12:23 |
| gogeta | coachz kinda | 12:23 |
| coachz | can you elaborate? | 12:23 |
| gogeta | coachz vmware run from a natic partation | 12:23 |
| gogeta | coachz nativ | 12:24 |
| saminthemiddle | *sigh* nobody would happen to know how to find out which inode belongs to which file, would they? | 12:24 |
| coachz | i have 1 80gb drive, so how would that work? | 12:24 |
| coachz | partition it into 2 ? | 12:24 |
| saminthemiddle | debugging firefox! | 12:24 |
| Dr_willis | saminthemiddle, i recall thers a way to do it.. but i firget how, | 12:24 |
| rinaldi_ | ctothej: its just I think i managed to uninstall it somehow so I wanted to know what package it uses | 12:24 |
| shArk | is there a way to "grep" something in subdirectories ? | 12:25 |
| cosmodad | shArk: -r | 12:25 |
| gogeta | coachz yea you realy install both on the pc | 12:25 |
| shArk | cosmodad: thx ;) | 12:25 |
| cosmodad | shArk: yw | 12:25 |
| Dr_willis | saminthemiddle, find -inum perhaos | 12:25 |
| coachz | gogeta and what happens during boot up, both OS's get loaded at the same time ? | 12:25 |
| gogeta | coachz vmware can then boot lets say the xp partation from linux your using both your real installs vs a image | 12:25 |
| jeffz | anyone else have an annoying problem with firefox 2, where after awhile, clicking on a link opens a new "untitled window" which if closed crashes firefox? | 12:26 |
| coachz | is there a program that will "fork" at the kernel level and boot both OS's simultaneously ? | 12:26 |
| coachz | xp and ubunto | 12:26 |
| gogeta | coachz well once 1 has started you can run the other | 12:26 |
| saminthemiddle | Dr_willis, thanks a mil | 12:26 |
| rinaldi_ | anyone know the package for "shared folders" in administration. I somehow managed to uninstall it and need it back :P | 12:26 |
| ctothej | rinaldi_: System->Administration->Shared Folders | 12:26 |
| rinaldi_ | ctothej: yeh but what is the name of the package? | 12:27 |
| coachz | so do i put an icon for the 2nd one in some startup folder /etc/initd so it will automatically start after the first one starts ? | 12:27 |
| gogeta | coachz yea you would have full aces to your real xp system | 12:27 |
| jeffz | coachz: it's a little more complicated than that | 12:27 |
| gogeta | vs using a image file | 12:27 |
| ctothej | rinaldi_: samba | 12:27 |
| gogeta | yea takes some xp tweaks | 12:27 |
| gogeta | ill find the guide | 12:27 |
| marlun | /join #firefox | 12:28 |
| whatshisname | can someone give me a couple of common irc servers with linux related channels? | 12:28 |
| coachz | i've used vmware a lot, but was wondering if there was some "new" technology that "forked" the OS's at a very low level so I dont need to load one OS inside the other | 12:28 |
| ctothej | rinaldi_: and 'smbclient' | 12:28 |
| marlun | hmmm.. | 12:28 |
| coachz | but instead load them simultaneously and independantly | 12:28 |
| rinaldi_ | ok thanks | 12:28 |
| hischild | does the x server have a seperate group? and if so, what group? | 12:28 |
| Dr_willis | whatshisname, look in the xchat server list. thers several. this is proberly the biggest server. | 12:28 |
| gogeta | whatshisname this one right hear | 12:28 |
| Sefram | short question: how do i build an archive with a folder named "." in it? | 12:28 |
| whatshisname | gogeta: ya i know this one :) | 12:29 |
| gogeta | whatshisname just join your favest disrtos name | 12:29 |
| hischild | coachz: if you're up for a huge challenge, check xen | 12:29 |
| gaminggeek | anyone here with a working tablet in gutsy mind me looking at thier xorg.conf | 12:29 |
| gogeta | channel | 12:29 |
| coachz | ahhhhh xen | 12:29 |
| coachz | that's the one i forgot | 12:29 |
| coachz | is xen any good or painful bleading edge? | 12:29 |
| saminthemiddle | Dr_willis: it doesn't seem to work, I'm typing in find -inum ######## and not getting any results | 12:29 |
| whatshisname | just looking for another popular one besides freenode. | 12:29 |
| MasterMel | anyone knows how i can get more resolution options in my graphiccard options? i am using ubuntu gutsy | 12:29 |
| saminthemiddle | Dr_willis: and I'm pretty sure that the inode is correct, I got it from dmesg | 12:29 |
| gogeta | coachz using vmware you have that abilty | 12:29 |
| cosmodad | coachz: wikipedia has some good comparison of the different VM technologies | 12:29 |
| Dr_willis | saminthemiddle, no idea on that. ive never needed to mess with the inode stuff - i just use dgoogle and found find. | 12:29 |
| coachz | gogeta, how so | 12:30 |
| saminthemiddle | Dr_willis, thanks anyway | 12:30 |
| coachz | with vmware don't you have to install it INSIDE another os ? | 12:30 |
| Dr_willis | vmware runs on an OS. it runs other OS's | 12:30 |
| cosmodad | coachz: yeah. | 12:30 |
| gogeta | coachz correct | 12:30 |
| coachz | yeah, i'm looking for a fork type app, maybe xen is it | 12:31 |
| coachz | thanks | 12:31 |
| gogeta | coachz it can start a real installed system | 12:31 |
| Sefram | how do i build a tar.gz archive with a folder "." in it?? | 12:31 |
| Sefram | anyone here knows that? | 12:31 |

| hischild | coachz: last time i checked it (i admit, it's been a month or 2 ago, and i used an ati card) i could hardly boot the main box (dom0?) | 12:32 |
| hischild | Vixen: i love you 2 dear | 12:32 |
| coachz | i see | 12:32 |
| hischild | coachz: was mainly due to my gfx card and i'm quite likely to go and try it again sometime soon | 12:33 |
| coachz | maybe it's still too new | 12:33 |
| Vixen | hischild: Yay =] Right, hc, do you ever get issues with getting wireless working while on a live cd? | 12:33 |
| hischild | Vixen: nope, always served me well | 12:33 |
| unop_ | Sefram, tar cf archive.tar . #?? | 12:33 |
| saminthemiddle | well, anyway, I'm going to go to bed, I'll talk to all you folks later | 12:33 |
| GlenQuagmire | Sefram: tar -czvf name.tar.gz directory | 12:33 |
| coachz | i'm using geforce 7300 | 12:33 |
| GlenQuagmire | Sefram: and the .dir should be in the tar aswell | 12:34 |
| maek | cya saminthemiddle | 12:34 |
| jaffarkelshac | ssh huh, what package is it called and how to i connect to it, unop_ cosmodad | 12:34 |
| Vixen | hischild: That's anal. | 12:34 |
| unop_ | jaffarkelshac, sudo aptitude install openssh-server | 12:34 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: and openssh-client on the client | 12:34 |
| jaffarkelshac | thanks you two | 12:35 |
| unop_ | cosmodad, i believe that might already be installed? i might be wrong | 12:35 |
| coachz | gogeta, are you saying vmware can fork at a kernel level | 12:35 |
| cosmodad | unop_: yeah you might be right. | 12:35 |
| jaffarkelshac | i will search google for the rest | 12:35 |
| coachz | and boot 2 os's at the same time | 12:35 |

| coachz | ideally i'd have a grub type menu that says 1: boot ubunto, 2: boot xp, 3: boot both | 12:36 |
| unop_ | boot both? | 12:36 |
| coachz | at the same time | 12:36 |

| gnuskool | when i copy a directory to /var/www, it does not appear in nautilus or in the index from localhost/, the only place i can see it is from term, what gives? | 12:37 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, define "doesn't work" ? | 12:37 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: you should consider securing ssh as good as possible, especially if your machine is reachable through the net. SSH is a popular target. | 12:37 |
| jaffarkelshac | it is cosmodad | 12:37 |
| GlenQuagmire | |Dede|: what error do you get ? | 12:37 |
| gnuskool | how do i run php scripts in www folder? | 12:37 |
| unop_ | gnuskool, have you checked out permissions on that folder? | 12:37 |
| |Dede| | When I start it, it changes to metacity, as I wanted and then UT starts (but it's only viewable in the sys monitor) | 12:37 |
| |Dede| | meaning I cannot play | 12:38 |
| === goku is now known as goget1 | ||
| coachz | gogeta, that url is only about dual booting or running the OS in a VM | 12:38 |
| coachz | no fork | 12:38 |
| hischild | coachz: what you want is probably xen then | 12:38 |
| hischild | coachz: hypervisoring vm stuff | 12:38 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, try sending each job into the background so the others get a chance to execute -- append a '&' to each line | 12:38 |
| coachz | hischild, does xen make a fork at the kernel level | 12:38 |
| gnuskool | unop_: no, but if i copy more than 1 folder the others appear, except that particular 1 | 12:38 |
| |Dede| | okay | 12:39 |
| jeffz | how do I install build-essential on a machine that doesn't have an internet connection, with as little pain as possible? | 12:39 |
| hischild | coachz: iirc it does yes. It boots a xen kernel, that calls dom0, and boots. | 12:39 |
| coachz | most excellent | 12:39 |
| gnuskool | why wont my php scripts in www folder un? | 12:39 |
| unop_ | gnuskool, that doesnt really answer the question about permissions? are the permissions on the folder the same as the others? | 12:39 |
| Exteris | gnuskool, perhaps you don't have php installed | 12:39 |
| cosmodad | jeffz: use the Ubuntu CD/DVD, or download the package plus all dependencies from a connected machine and copy them to the target | 12:40 |
| ricanelite | what is the best fonts out there? also how do I install fonts? | 12:40 |
| elliotjhug | Hi all, does anyone in here know enough about git to tell me how to pull a specific branch from a repository? Been trying to find a tutorial for days but no luck | 12:40 |
| |Dede| | now UT doesn't even start | 12:40 |
| jeffz | cosmodad: hmm, I'll check the cd, your second option sounds painful | 12:40 |
| unop_ | gnuskool, i believe you need to configure apache to handle .php scripts with the php interpreter -- google can easily answer that question | 12:40 |
| cosmodad | !fonts | ricanelite | 12:40 |
| ubotu | ricanelite: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 12:40 |
| cosmodad | jeffz: you could check deps using package.ubuntu.com | 12:40 |
| jeffz | cosmodad: pain. | 12:40 |
| |Dede| | unop_: now UT doesn't even start | 12:41 |
| cosmodad | jeffz: another alternative: if you can, have the target route its net traffic through some connected machine. | 12:41 |
| jeffz | cosmodad: I should just able to to say apt-get install build-essnetial, apt dumps out a script to download the required packages, I execute it elsewhere, copy back the files and it does the rest automagically. | 12:41 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, let's see the modified script | 12:41 |

| GlenQuagmire | i have a question, how can i open mp3 | 12:42 |
| Aslivis | Hello all | 12:42 |
| GlenQuagmire | with default program mocp | 12:42 |
| yeassay | hi | 12:43 |
| Aslivis | i'm a beginner | 12:43 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, try putting the UT command last without a '&' at the end | 12:43 |
| Aslivis | i have a question | 12:43 |
| Sefram | unop_: i want to have the files in the directory data in data.tar.gz in a folder named "." | 12:43 |
| cosmodad | jeffz: you could use --download-only on the connected machine, but the set of installed packages need to match in that case. | 12:43 |
| Aslivis | how to intall Kdevelop into Ubuntu | 12:43 |
| unop_ | Sefram, this ought to work then. (cd /path/to/data; tar czf data.tgz .) | 12:44 |
| |Dede| | unop_: I want the last command to be "compiz --replace" though, b/c I wanna switch to compiz again after I'm done playing (needed to switch to metacity because otherwise it would flicker) | 12:44 |
| cosmodad | jeffz: oh wait you can do apt-get install -s and get the list. | 12:44 |
| Andycasss | Is there a Awstats 6.7 deb pack? | 12:45 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, ok, in that case, you don't need the '&' on the last two commands .. try that out | 12:45 |
| yeassay | i'm showing how to use IRC to my girlfriend, i'm not sure it's a good idea... | 12:45 |
| jaffarkelshac | cosmodad, is there a way to detect if someone has connected to you computer either by telnet or ssh (the 2 i know) i unistalled telnetd so thats not possible | 12:45 |
| cosmodad | jeffz: --print-uris sounds helpful too. You should really read the apt-get man-page. | 12:45 |
| esox | Hi, I have a mouse pointer issue, after a while it looks ugly, the only solution is to deactivate harwardware rendering | 12:46 |
| mijgfireg | ciao | 12:46 |
| mijgfireg | !list | 12:46 |
| ubotu | I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 12:46 |
| unop_ | jaffarkelshac, the commands 'who' and 'w' show you which users are connected to the system and in which way | 12:46 |
| esox | hardware | 12:46 |
| Sefram | unop_: thx a lot, it worked ! | 12:46 |
| jaffarkelshac | excellent unop_ | 12:46 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: there will be one ssh instance per user logged in, so ps can yield that. | 12:46 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: it's also logged in /var/log/auth.log | 12:47 |
| |Dede| | unop_: Now UT does start again, but it's only using 460 KB memory and it's only viewable in sys monitor | 12:47 |
| guest_ | hi, i just messed with grub, how can i re istall it? | 12:48 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: I also use fail2ban to ban IPs for corresponding ssh login attempts which have failed more than X times | 12:48 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, i'm not really sure what is going on there? is the process even launched successfully? maybe there's an option to 'aoss' that needs to be set when launching things from within a script | 12:48 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: banning is temporary only, but helpful to keep those pesky wannabes at bay. | 12:48 |
| mmm4m5m | Question: Do you know console text editor with custom plugins like gedit? I would like to create custom plugins for sort/fiter/run external commands, etc? | 12:48 |
| KalEl | how can i permanently add a folder to path? | 12:48 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, sounds like what vim can do | 12:49 |
| unop_ | KalEl, edit your ~/.bashrc | 12:49 |
| cosmodad | KalEl: ~/.bashrc is one solution. | 12:49 |
| |Dede| | unop_: the thing is, I installed compiz today, and I can run UT successfully when I use the "aoss" line ONLY, but now with those other lines it does not start | 12:49 |
| jaffarkelshac | cosmodad, but what if you uninstall the openssh-server, does that not protect you from ssh atempts | 12:49 |
| === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: it does, but it will also prevent you from ssh'ing into the machine. :) | 12:49 |
| |Dede| | unop_: But then the screen flickers, because of compiz (so I have to ruen it off for as long as I play) | 12:49 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: don't you want to log into your desktop machine remotely? | 12:50 |
| |Dede| | *turn | 12:50 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: thank you, will check vim now. But a little scared because it sounds very linux specific. if there is something simple and stupid, it is better. | 12:50 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, somehow the other two affect how it launches .. try putting an echo after each line to see how things are being processed | 12:50 |
| |Dede| | how can I add that? | 12:50 |
| byteridr | i saw that you can select different download locations | 12:50 |
| jaffarkelshac | i do, i just wanted to know if that would stop all ssh'ing as you put it | 12:50 |
| Andycasss | Is there a Awstats 6.7 deb pack? | 12:50 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, echo "just launced metacity.." | 12:51 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: it would completely deny the possibility of logging into a machine, so yes. | 12:51 |
| coachz | hahaha, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRmgSS3KS-o&feature=related | 12:51 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: you should install openssh-server only on those machines which you want to accept SSH login connections. | 12:51 |
| |Dede| | with a "|" before? like "compiz --replace | echo "Just started compiz" | 12:51 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: it suffices to provide all remaining machines with openssh-client. | 12:52 |
| byteridr | can you add the information how busy the different servers are to optimize the download speed? | 12:52 |
| byteridr | or are the servers all not very busy? | 12:52 |
| jaffarkelshac | thanks cosmodad | 12:52 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, vim is not exclusive to linux, it's even more popular than gedit and is in use across all varieties of unix .. there's are quite a few simplified versions of it - cream would be good to start of with | 12:52 |
| cosmodad | jaffarkelshac: you are welcome. | 12:52 |
| |Dede| | unop_: with a "|" before? like "compiz --replace | echo "Just started compiz" | 12:53 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, no, on a line of it's own after each command | 12:53 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, or replace | like you have there with && | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | Bah! learn vi! and never go back! | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 12:54 |
| unop_ | Dr_willis, the original Bill Joy's vi? no thanks :p | 12:54 |
| ph8 | hey all - is it possible to decrease the volume of one window, firefox for example - like on windows? | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | vigor! | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | ph8, you mean like on vista. (and it some times even works) :) i think ithats to be a feature of the new Pulseaudio stuff of gnome | 12:55 |
| ph8 | ja | 12:55 |
| ph8 | cool | 12:55 |
| poeloq | re | 12:55 |
| maek | ph8 adjust the volume slider in the flash program you are viewing | 12:55 |
| ph8 | i just want to stop an annoying flash game in firefox playing sound | 12:55 |
| mmm4m5m | Dr_willis: learn vi - is that for me :). I really can't estimate what is vi, but I am scared because many other peoples are scared. :) | 12:56 |
| ph8 | so i can watch a movie at the same time | 12:56 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: cream - sounds sexy :). Just one more question please - I have many log files with 10 columns (file path, name and many other properties). Perfect solution will show me log file, will allow me to sort and filter. Eventually will not print file path on every line and will display it less or more as tree. Meaning even some log viewer which allow plugins will be good. | 12:56 |
| poeloq | If I install 8.10 Beta now, will it upgrade to stable in 19 days or stay on the beta track | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, run the vimtutor program. to get the basics down. | 12:56 |
| kelvin911 | how to watch movie trailer in apple.com?? | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, be sure to install the full vim package also | 12:56 |
| hischild | poeloq: it'll go stable | 12:56 |
| ph8 | maek: There's no volume trailer :( | 12:56 |
| kelvin911 | do i need quicktime plugin? i can watch it in ff but not in opera | 12:56 |
| goget1 | kelvin911 mplayer can handel quicktime files | 12:57 |
| |Dede| | unop_: http://pastebin.com/d7457f566 | 12:57 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, vim can do just that quite easily if you are competent with it (takes a while getting used to that tho) | 12:57 |
| mmm4m5m | Dr_willis: will check it, I promise :). But I installed ubuntu one month back, so step by step | 12:57 |
| maek | if you are watching a movie ... can't you just close it and when you finish watching the film you can go back to it ?? | 12:57 |
| goget1 | not to shure abought vlc | 12:57 |
| kelvin911 | no i wanna watch it in the browser | 12:57 |
| poeloq | hischild: thanks | 12:57 |
| goget1 | kelvin91 mplayer firefox plugin | 12:57 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, an alternative is to import your log file into a spreadsheet and cut, paste and sort to your fancy | 12:57 |
| kelvin911 | and how come when i play back the rm file in mplayer i only get one channel? | 12:58 |
| kelvin911 | either only left or right | 12:58 |
| goget1 | mplayer rm support isnt that great | 12:58 |
| goget1 | thers rm10 linux anyways | 12:58 |
| kelvin911 | realplayer 10? | 12:58 |
| goget1 | yea | 12:59 |
| kelvin911 | does it have lots of ads and spyware like the winodws version? | 12:59 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: hm sounds very very promising :). And maybe vi could save settings as separate profile, so when I open such log files, to be able quickly to do what ever I have to do? | 12:59 |
| goget1 | naa | 12:59 |
| unop_ | |Dede|, are you positive that your 'aoss' command works from the command line? | 12:59 |
| kelvin911 | i dont want realplayer screw up or slow down my computer | 12:59 |
| |Dede| | It works, without those 2 other lines | 12:59 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: spread sheet - I was thinking about it... trying to stay more close to linux. Tired with windows style - "only clickable UI" | 12:59 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, vim does everything under the sun except probably make you coffee :) yes, it does that | 12:59 |
| kelvin911 | goget1: u sure realplayer 10 is clean? like real alternative in windows? | 13:00 |
| hischild | unop_: it does make me coffee! how else am i going to wake up | 13:00 |
| Oyama | lo | 13:00 |
| goget1 | the linux one is based off helix player its very cut down from the windows version | 13:00 |
| UncleRemus | I want a newer version of picard than what is default on my installation. The "force version" is greyed out, how is that? I think I have seen newer version in ubuntu. | 13:00 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, there's nothing wrong with a GUI, if it saves you time and does the job, it's better than fighing with a set of commands for half an hour :) and openoffice calc is close to linux :) | 13:01 |
| kelvin911 | does it have ads? | 13:01 |
| kelvin911 | and popup? | 13:01 |
| wersa | hi | 13:01 |
| idealab_loco | Hi | 13:01 |
| goget1 | no i nev er saw any | 13:01 |
| goget1 | looks alot like the old real g2 | 13:01 |
| === lucas2 is now known as ljmeijer | ||
| goget1 | befor it was bloted | 13:01 |
| kelvin911 | i uses real g2 b4 it sucks so bad | 13:01 |
| kelvin911 | use up windows resources | 13:02 |
| goget1 | LOL | 13:02 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, you could also look into these command line utils. cut, sort and grep - they should get you sorted for the job at hand | 13:02 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: once stick to specific UI it is not easy to customize and automate it. I just learn how much I can do with log files plus grep/sed/awk | 13:02 |
| kelvin911 | i remember the real one player | 13:02 |
| goget1 | just yuotube it if you wanna see it | 13:02 |
| kelvin911 | real g2 they are all bad | 13:02 |
| kelvin911 | where is the link? | 13:02 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: so, now I want litle more - console editor interface, scroll down, scroll up, instead typing many grep commands | 13:02 |
| Raff7 | hi | 13:03 |
| goget1 | it sould aruldy be in your ubuntu install list | 13:03 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: ok, 10x again. Looks like I am going to learn vi, I mean "the vi" | 13:03 |
| Raff7 | with who should i talk about a ps3 bug with repositories? | 13:03 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, you can call external commands from vim .. and it has some of its own tricks too | 13:03 |
| goget1 | raff7 enay that pos ps3 | 13:04 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, errm, i didnt actually mean "the vi" .. i meant the vim .. quite a bit of difference there actually | 13:04 |
| goget1 | ebay | 13:04 |
| goget1 | lol | 13:04 |
| misieq | what do you suggest to use as a network traffic analyzer, preferably with console output (however that's not necessary) and showing what connections use most of the traffic (is it even possible? or do i have to use some advanced sniffer?) | 13:04 |
| mocie_girl | dd | 13:04 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: ok :) "the vim" with bottle vine | 13:04 |
| Raff7 | lol goget1, talk seriously | 13:05 |
| goget1 | raff7 i was | 13:05 |
| Oyama | i'm making some modifications on the livecd (using http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/personnaliser_livecd, sorry, it's french), but i have troubles when "apt-get dist-upgrade": "sudo chroot squashfs apt-get-dist-upgrade", when configuring "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic" i get "mount: only root can do that", so the upgrade fails. What's the problem? and how can i fix it? | 13:05 |
| Raff7 | goget1, nah ;) | 13:05 |
| goget1 | raff 7 ps3 linux is sanboxed weak install it on a pc | 13:05 |
| kelvin911 | Yet... Linux is (mostly) safe from unwanted installation of software. But if the user installs the software, there is no reason why it shouldn't be malware. So yes, Realplayer could contain malware, if Real decided to put malware in it. | 13:05 |
| === kajtek is now known as der | ||
| goget1 | raff 7 i ment that | 13:05 |
| kelvin911 | thats what i read on internet | 13:05 |
| Raff7 | goget1, i know i'm behind hypervisor | 13:06 |
| kelvin911 | i am still a little chicken, dont wanna get ubuntu into trouble like i did with windows 5 years ago | 13:06 |
| Raff7 | goget1, and i've ubuntu on pc... but the question was differen't. | 13:06 |
| goget1 | kelvin911 <if> | 13:06 |
| kelvin911 | is there a replace for realplayer? | 13:06 |
| goget1 | i dont think they ever have | 13:07 |
| goget1 | yea mplayer | 13:07 |
| goget1 | but you said it wasent preforming well | 13:07 |
| kelvin911 | but i cant pick the left right channel in mplayer | 13:07 |
| Raff7 | goget1, right it's a bug i nobody can update :) | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | I thought mplayer + the w32codec pack did realplayer | 13:07 |
| kelvin911 | is there a way making VLC play realplayer format? | 13:07 |
| goget1 | raff7 i beleve you would look at the ubuntu power pc communty | 13:07 |
| goget1 | raff7 being thats allps3 linux is | 13:08 |
| kelvin911 | Dr_wil | 13:08 |
| Raff7 | goget1 the bug is about repositories, there are no repo | 13:08 |
| goget1 | raff7 its a communty ported version of ubuntu to powerpc | 13:08 |
| Swanonymous | hey all, anyone know a quick/easy vid maker for YT etc similar to Windows Movie Maker for Ubuntu? | 13:08 |
| Raff7 | i know goget1 | 13:08 |
| Raff7 | but it's a bug of the ps3 community | 13:08 |
| kelvin911 | Dr_willis: yes i did installed mplayer+w32codec but the problem is i have some movies that have 2 language on left and right channel, | 13:08 |
| goget1 | raff& maybe the ps3 linux channel | 13:08 |
| kelvin911 | i cant pick channel in mplayer, and mplayer only play mono sound on me | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, use the # to select audio perhaps. | 13:09 |
| mmm4m5m | Question: could be stupid but, can I use mouse in terminal window (Alt+F1)? (without gdm) | 13:09 |
| ere4si | Swanonymous: try avidemux | 13:09 |
| Raff7 | goget1... it's not an official ubuntu one. | 13:09 |
| goget1 | raff7 you made your own point | 13:09 |
| Swanonymous | ere4si, thanks :) | 13:09 |
| guti | hola | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, gpm is handy. some games can do it i imagine.. but never seen any that use sdl + mouse. | 13:09 |

| soyyo | ubuntu español¿? | 13:10 |
| goget1 | ubuntu unded power pc support years ago | 13:10 |
| tacone | !es | 13:10 |
| ubotu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | Ps3 and ppc are not officially supported. | 13:10 |
| Raff7 | Dr_willis oh well | 13:10 |
| ere4si | !who | 13:10 |
| ubotu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:10 |
| kelvin911 | and mplayer doesnt play movie that has a path with space | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | check the various ppc/ps3 forums and web sites is the best bet. | 13:11 |
| Raff7 | thank you Dr_willis | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, under gnome i find it has that issue. I end up launching mplayer, and just drag/drop the video into it | 13:11 |
| goget1 | same stuff i said lol | 13:11 |
| kelvin911 | i have to change all directory and filename that has a space so that mplayer can read the file | 13:11 |
| mmm4m5m | Dr_willis: but we have mouse drivers for DOS (example). I was thinking - maybe vi/vim similar editors have build in such mouse support in sdl (if this is the right term) | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, its some sort of bug with how gnome is eiving the filename/path to mplayer | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, you can use the mouse in vi with gpm, and the proper vi setting to enable mouse ussage. | 13:11 |
| Raff7 | goget1 ù.ù | 13:11 |
| goget1 | abought checkin g the ps3 linux channels | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, under a xterm or whatever under X you can also use the mouse. If o you enable mouse ussage in the vim editor | 13:12 |
| maek | How come mplayer when I first installed it played everything now it only plays half the files I throw at it ?? | 13:12 |
| kelvin911 | drag and drop works ! | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, but in many cases its much better to learn the keyboard. :) | 13:12 |
| kelvin911 | so strange | 13:12 |
| kelvin911 | now i dont have to rename like 100 files | 13:12 |
| mmm4m5m | Dr_willis: yes, sure. Just thinking about sdl terminal. Conclusion: linux guys like terminal, but they are not stupid, for mouse they use GUI :) (joke) | 13:13 |
| goget1 | raff7 hell ps2 linux was better at least you could use the gpu | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, mplayer 'filename with spaces.avi' also works | 13:13 |
| LollinopiL | IS THE ODT ---> pdf CONVERSION GOOD AND WITHOUT LOSSES ? | 13:13 |
| kelvin911 | but it doest work when double click | 13:13 |
| LollinopiL | ups sry for the caps | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, correct. thers an issue with gnome in that area. | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, rremoving the spaces in file names is rather trivial :) | 13:14 |
| kelvin911 | how to change channel? | 13:14 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, vim supports mice, and there's a gtk wrapper around vim called gvim (kvim on kde) | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | kvim is dead i think | 13:14 |

| kelvin911 | Dr_willis: how to change channel? | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, channel? | 13:14 |
| goget1 | dr_wills replace all spaces in dir w / replace all enter | 13:14 |
| goget1 | LOL | 13:15 |
| goget1 | mass edting is fun | 13:15 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_ , Dr_willis : yes, I understand. I already have small experience with mc in sdl terminal and in gnome | 13:15 |
| mmm4m5m | 10x a lot | 13:15 |
| LollinopiL | id the odt --> pdf good and safe ? | 13:15 |
| kelvin911 | how come only one channel in mplayer? | 13:15 |
| kelvin911 | only mono sound when playing rmvb | 13:16 |
| goget1 | kelevin911 it doesent like you | 13:16 |
| goget1 | shure the rmvb just isnt mono | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | goget1, check out the program 'qmv' in the package renameutils - Programs to make file renaming easier | 13:16 |
| unop_ | if only i could understand what goget1 meant by "replace all spaces in dir w / replace all enter" | 13:16 |
| kelvin911 | i am sure, i play that file in winxp i can pick left or right channel | 13:16 |
| goget1 | edit find allreplace all | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, nio idea the key # in mplayer selexts the different audio tracks | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like a cheap way to have dual audio :) | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | if all else fails use avidmux and remove one track i guess.. :) | 13:17 |
| unop_ | goget1, do you know how to formulate full sentences so as to convey substance rather than get people to read your mind through a few abstract words? :) | 13:17 |
| goget1 | unop that was the entire way of doing it | 13:18 |
| goget1 | using edit | 13:18 |
| * unop_ gives up, it's pointless. | 13:19 | |
| kelvin911 | which audio plugin should i pick in mplayer? | 13:19 |
| andash | unop_: worth a shot. :P | 13:19 |
| kelvin911 | currently i am using alsa | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, alsa is the best bet. | 13:19 |
| goget1 | unop your telling me you never used the edit command in any os lol | 13:20 |
| goget1 | never used find | 13:20 |
| goget1 | jeez\ | 13:20 |
| unop_ | goget1, did i say that? | 13:20 |
| kelvin911 | in the sound should i pick alsa or oss? | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | theres no 'edit' in linux. tjat ive seen.. real men use vi. | 13:20 |
| Exteris | kelvin911, alsa | 13:20 |
| goget1 | unop so do the same thing but put a space they and use replace with a / | 13:20 |
| === fangwithu is now known as mooogirl | ||
| Exteris | Dr_willis, REAL men use ed | 13:20 |
| goget1 | the gnome broswer has it | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | Exteris, done that befor also. | 13:20 |
| unop_ | goget1, no i just use this. rename 's/\s+//g' * | 13:21 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: "cream" require vim-runtime. I already have vim-tiny (and ubuntu-minimal). "vim-runtime" says "replace vim-tiny". "vim-tiny" says "conflict with vim-runtime'. But synaptic does not mark vim-tiny for remove. If I try to remove manually, it say "ubuntu-minimal" will be removed. Please advice, can I have both vim-tiny and vim-runtime together? | 13:21 |
| === mooogirl is now known as fangwithu | ||
| goget1 | just run it su if your not mass removinf spaces from your dir | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | unop_, one of 1000+ ways to do it. | 13:21 |
| goget1 | yea | 13:21 |
| GOfre1 | hi | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, remove vim-tiny install vim-full | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, dont worry about ubuntu-minimal | 13:22 |
| goget1 | why remove space anyways | 13:22 |
| unop_ | Dr_willis, perhaps much more? | 13:22 |
| goget1 | you only format it diffrently | 13:22 |
| mmm4m5m | Dr_willis: this will remove ubuntu-minimal | 13:22 |
| goget1 | like blalba /blabla | 13:22 |
| unop_ | goget1, it saves you time and headaches | 13:22 |
| mmm4m5m | Dr_willis: ok then, 10x | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | mmm4m5m, as i said.. dont worry about it. | 13:22 |

| legend2440 | kelvin911: realplayer for linux is different than realplayer foe windows. in windows realplayer trys to report everything you do (if you don't disable that) in linux it doesn't. at least in my experience with it | 14:18 |

| theunixgeek | terminal: so what's your question? | 14:30 |
| azuki | I am trying to mount a .bin file to a cdrom.... so I made the dir /media/[mountdir] .... and typed "mount -o loop ntfs [.bin location] /media/[mountdir] ....what am I doing wrong? | 14:30 |
| theunixgeek | terminal: do you want to open it, do you not know why it's there, there are lots of things that you could be asking from that :) | 14:30 |
| gogeta | Arelis i would point at compiz on that setup but well yyou have it off aruldy | 14:30 |
| kdeusr | Hi all | 14:30 |
| dooglus | erUSUL: is that safe? doesn't "ifconfig up" re-trigger the pre-up hook, causing a loop? | 14:30 |
| theunixgeek | hi, kdeusr. | 14:30 |
| theunixgeek | kdeusr: you might prefer #kubuntu or #kde | 14:30 |
| Arelis | gogeta: firefox | 14:30 |
| theunixgeek | kdeusr: that is, if you're in fact using KDE\ | 14:30 |
| Arelis | gogeta: i think it's firefox | 14:31 |
| gogeta | Arelis firefox? | 14:31 |
| mator | please, firefox ? | 14:31 |
| terminal | how i configure samba so i take d sharing file of other pc | 14:31 |
| kdeusr | nah..I prefer the console | 14:31 |
| gogeta | Arelis i dought that | 14:31 |
| theunixgeek | kdeusr: same ;) | 14:31 |
| gogeta | Arelis firefox works like a deame for me | 14:31 |
| Arelis | gogeta, mator: Yes, firefox has been known to be resource-hungry right? | 14:31 |
| kdeusr | I would like to know how to decrese the font size in the consol | 14:31 |
| terminal | <theunixgeek>how i configure samba so i take d sharing file of other pc | 14:31 |
| Arelis | gogeta: even with 20 tabs open? don't things slow down? (not that i have that many open right now) | 14:31 |
| dooglus | kdeusr: I'd love to know how to do that too | 14:31 |
| theunixgeek | Arelis: if you want a lightweight browser, sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser | 14:31 |

| arejay | during install if i want to install grub into /dev/hda2 (not mbr) where it says Install Boot Loader it has (hd0) should i change that to (hda2) ? | 14:32 |
| theunixgeek | terminal: I saw that; I can't answer it, though ;) | 14:32 |
| kdeusr | the font is too big in ubuntu compared to others | 14:32 |
| theunixgeek | kdeusr: you can change the font size..... | 14:32 |
| terminal | <theunixgeek> r u getting m what i want ko know | 14:32 |
| dooglus | kdeusr: yup. most other distros seem to default to a reasonable, usable size. in ubuntu it's huge | 14:32 |
| gogeta | Arelis firefox is my frend windows or linux | 14:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | arejay: i think you can only do that w/ the alt. install cd | 14:32 |
| Arelis | gogeta: i'm on Ubuntu right nwo | 14:32 |
| kdeusr | please tell me how to do it ? | 14:32 |
| gogeta | Arelis i make all my frends install it | 14:32 |
| Arelis | gogeta: hmm. | 14:33 |
| theunixgeek | terminal: I know what you want to find out, but I can't answer it | 14:33 |
| gogeta | Arelis yea asi i said both oses i use it | 14:33 |

| NeoJew | I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 on my HP Compaq nc8430. I've been having issues with my laptop reboot after I've been idle for a while. I'm 90% sure that it's because of over-heating, which has never happened when I'm running XP. Is there anything that could be causing over heating, like a driver not running the fans properly or keeping the CPU running at 100% all the time? | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | dooglus: yes it is safe "ifconfig up <iface>" is not the same as "ifup <iface>" | 14:33 |
| kdeusr | F1 | 14:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | arejay: well, then change it, i was thinking you could only do it w/ alt. install, but this may be problematic, as grub won't load when the computer turns on. | 14:34 |
| Jeruvy | theunixgeek: you wanna do my typing today? thx :) | 14:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | why not just put it where its defaulted to go? | 14:34 |

| lopin | I think I'm just going to tee it to /dev/null | 15:43 |

| lopin | tee's not working... Gonna try a pipe... | 15:45 |
| unop | lopin, if you are running a lot of commands and hate typing as much .. you can start bash by redirecting everything to /dev/null. bash &>/dev/null | 15:46 |

| razor-x11 | dede, some routers need to accecpt the mac/ip to let you use them | 16:03 |
| keiserr | bazhang, : i wonder if they made changes in the Packages.gz file and forgot to update the md5sum.txt file? | 16:03 |
| keiserr | bazhang: can't be... coz the iso matches the md5 hash found on release.ubuntu site | 16:04 |
| |Dede| | why would the ip on the same PC change? | 16:04 |
| bazhang | keiserr: if you are getting md5 errors the iso is corrupted and needs to be redownloaded | 16:04 |
| nickrud | CTho hm. Maybe its some program you run irregularly that turns it on? I don't have a real clue, though | 16:04 |
| lopin | |Dede|, Different computer names... | 16:04 |
| CTho | nickrud: it could be, but it's not really acceptable behavior :( | 16:04 |

| badger_ | @amenado the windows xp client retrieves the correct ip from the dhcp server, but when i do ipconfig /all on the xp client i get to see dhcp-server: <wan-ip> | 16:06 |
| lopin | |Dede|, It might be a communication issue with Linux and security. Try turning the security on the router off temporarily to see if you can connect that way | 16:06 |
| bazhang | keiserr: either that or the media as disk utility is not at fault | 16:06 |
| razor-x11 | Well, the only other think could be the DHCP server | 16:06 |
| razor-x11 | or a firewall blocking you localhost | 16:06 |
| |Dede| | lopin: When I turn it off it does work! But that can't be the solution | 16:06 |

| razor-x11 | could be alot off thing's, most come under user error, lol. | 16:06 |

| amenado | badger_-> you are in windows, i can not remember the responses..but can you paste in pastebin the results of your ipconfig /all ? | 16:07 |
| lopin | WPA, WPA2, and WEP are the options... Which one are you using now? | 16:07 |
| bazhang | |Dede|: try with open wifi and go from there | 16:07 |
| amenado | badger_-> is your dhcp server ubuntu or linux based? | 16:07 |
| badger_ | sec | 16:07 |
| badger_ | dhcp server is dhcp3 | 16:07 |
| razor-x11 | He is using WPA, apprently | 16:07 |
| |Dede| | WPA2 I think or 1 | 16:08 |
| razor-x11 | Well turn it to wpa | 16:08 |
| amenado | |Dede|-> try to associate first in the clear to make sure everything is okay, then switch to WPA after its confirmed you can in the clear | 16:08 |
| bazhang | |Dede|: try open to eliminate that as an error source | 16:08 |
| razor-x11 | WPA2 is a complete ass to setup, and get working. | 16:08 |

| Jd0gg | trying to install kubuntu (7.10) on a hard drive that requires Ontrack disk manager (Dynamic Disk Overlay) to recognize all of the space on the drive, i've got the computer booted up into the kubuntu installation screen however kubuntu is not reporting the proper partition table | 16:10 |
| razor-x11 | Yeah, try wpa1 and it will 99% work im pretty sure. | 16:10 |
| Jd0gg | and i've made sure that the DDO software is loading before kubuntu loads up, and i also have insured that no other hard drives are hooked up but the one i am focused on installing kubuntu on... any ideas? | 16:10 |

| amenado | soundray-> thats okay once he figures out he can connect in the clear..to test only | 16:11 |
| Jd0gg | bazhang, DDO = Dynamic Drive Overlay or Dynamic Disk Overlay | 16:11 |
| |Dede| | The problem is my Router only let me do WPA/WPA2 | 16:11 |
| |Dede| | not just WPA | 16:11 |
| bazhang | Jd0gg: but from where? why not use ext3 for that disk | 16:11 |
| razor-x11 | Well if you can, Use WPA, not WPA2. | 16:12 |
| |Dede| | I can't appearantly :( | 16:12 |
| Jd0gg | bazhang, DDO software is required for drives on older systems that the bios doesn't recognize all the disk space | 16:12 |

| Cahan | thanks LjL | 16:36 |
| soundray | ryanzec: so there was only a single line from the --list command? | 16:36 |
| Adys | mariobro: how much you give the new one | 16:36 |
| mariobro | ok, so 30 % would be fiven to the new one for ubuntu instead of shrinking it to 30 % | 16:37 |
| soundray | mariobro: give it 50%, then it won't matter ;) | 16:37 |
| mariobro | lol | 16:37 |
| Adys | lol | 16:37 |
| zel | :) | 16:37 |
| ryanzec | soundray: update-alternatives --list java return the same thing "No alternatives for java." | 16:37 |
| mariobro | i've been using ubuntu through vmware, but now i want the graphics | 16:37 |
| soundray | mariobro: seriously, I think the percentage is what will be left after the shrinking | 16:37 |
| sparr_ | I am trying to use my pc with my hdtv. I can get 1024x768 ad 1280x768 to work, but not 136*x768 (tried 1360, 1366, etc). Any advice? | 16:38 |
| soundray | ryanzec: do you want Sun Java? | 16:38 |
| Mr_Sonoma | any one got a suggestion on a cups/windows problem? I can see my printer on my linux box with my wifes windows laptop, I have added the printer into her laptop (installed driver) and obviously since i can browse my kubuntu machine SAMBA is working.....but what i dont get is why when i send the test print it shows as sent on windows, and shows in the jobs page of the cups interface but never actually prints out of the printer....suggestions | 16:38 |
| Mr_Sonoma | on what i've missed? | 16:38 |
| mariobro | soundray: I think that's what I've read online, but I was confused | 16:38 |
| Jabroni5 | <-- solved problem!! Ubuntu rules! -- had trouble removing dead "connect to server..." links on Ubuntu desktop -- realized that only way to "unmount volume" was in "right-click" menu which my ubuntu-i386 emulator had remapped to a different key combo -- PEACE! | 16:39 |
| ryanzec | soundray: I want a version the works with eclipse which as far as i know is at least 1.5 | 16:39 |
| soundray | !java > ryanzec, this factoid has instructions (private message) | 16:40 |
| soundray | !yay | < Jabroni5 | 16:40 |
| ubotu | < Jabroni5: Glad you made it! :-) | 16:40 |
| Jabroni5 | ty so much for this resource -- i'm really enjoying this whole Ubuntu experience :) | 16:40 |
| brainbug_ | hello, iam looking for a text-based ftp server that i can set up , any suggestions? | 16:41 |
| keiserr | the md5 sum for the packages.gz can be calculated on this machine, but not on the machine am trying a install on (second drive tested there... am going for another dvd drive now..the third) | 16:41 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@MD97600:~$ man rtstat; No manual entry for rtstat" Where can one find a manual for 'rtstat'? | 16:41 |

| MolsonH | Did anyone here have trouble getting ubunto to recognise a SATA HD? | 16:43 |
| azuki | ok.. offtopic: did anyone install reason on linux using wine yet? | 16:43 |
| paul6003 | hi ya all | 16:43 |
| unop__ | Mr_Sonoma, maybe this? http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html#id2637948 | 16:43 |
| mariobro | I'm still new to Ubuntu and linux, how many gb should I give ubuntu? So far I've only used 6 on VMware. | 16:44 |
| soundray | bullgard4: I don't think there is one. iproute-doc contains a /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/rtstat.txt | 16:44 |
| mariobro | 20 gb? | 16:44 |
| esteth | mariobro: What size is your hard drive? | 16:44 |
| mariobro | 140 | 16:44 |
| bastid_raZor | mariobro; i'd suggest atleast 10.. but 20 would be better | 16:44 |
| mariobro | ok | 16:44 |
| zippytech | is there a way to have a remote desktop viewer for any user that logs into a machine | 16:44 |
| mariobro | thanks | 16:44 |
| bastid_raZor | mariobro; or if you want to use more that is even better than that | 16:45 |
| esteth | about 20 should do then, if you're planning on keeping most of your data on your other drive | 16:45 |
| mariobro | for now I am | 16:45 |
| zippytech | without having to login and setup the remote desktop for each users | 16:45 |
| maek | OMG best guide ever http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=557491 ... now I can have the genie effects I wanted | 16:45 |
| mariobro | later i'll probably get rid of windows completly | 16:45 |
| maek | mariobro, have Windows in a virtual box VM just in case | 16:46 |
| Scunizi | mariobro, you should set up 3 partitions.. / which is root=10-12gigs /swap=1gig max /home the rest of it for data storage | 16:46 |
| Jabroni5 | g*d i luv reason | 16:46 |
| bastid_raZor | mariobro; i have 10 for / but i have my /home seperate.. / should be 10 or better for dist upgrades.. | 16:46 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: I am going to install iproute-doc and have a look. -- Thank you very much. | 16:46 |
| mariobro | ok | 16:46 |
| mariobro | thanks guys | 16:47 |
| bastid_raZor | mariobro; Scunizi's advice is more accurate.. | 16:47 |
| mariobro | why keep the partitions separate? | 16:48 |
| zel | mariobro: having a separate partition for /home isn't completely necessary, but it can be convinient because if you ever have to reinstall, you still have everything in /home as long as you don't wipe that partition | 16:48 |
| esteth | The only real reason is to keep data between OS wipes | 16:48 |
| Vadi | How can I tell what video card is being used on my computer? (If I have several of them) | 16:48 |
| unop__ | mariobro, to prevent processes from filing up the hard disk | 16:48 |
| soundray | mariobro: it makes upgrades easier | 16:48 |
| bastid_raZor | mariobro; in case you need to reinstall /home will be unaffected.. / is where system files are. | 16:48 |
| nickrud | bastid_raZor that's big enough, I use 12 and haven't got much above 8 with lots installed | 16:48 |
| keiserr | trying my installation with a new DVD drive... | 16:49 |
| keiserr | :p am almost sure it will fail | 16:49 |
| esteth | Vadi: check the device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf against running lspci at a terminal | 16:49 |
| Scunizi | mariobro, swap is always seprate.. /home is good to separate for upgrades and reinstalls because your data will be intact | 16:49 |
| mariobro | ok, how can i set this up using the livecd? | 16:49 |
| soundray | keiserr: that's right, psych yourself up for it ;) | 16:49 |
| Vadi | esteth: hm, lspci isn't reporting my graphics card at all there :/ | 16:50 |
| bastid_raZor | nickrud; sadly if/when i ever have to reinstall i'm going to make / 20G .. 10G now and i have issues doing dist-upgrades | 16:50 |
| keiserr | okie the disk check is taking longer... but still at 0% | 16:50 |
| JonasD | Hi! When I try java web start (javaws), I get this error: | 16:50 |
| JonasD | Java Web Start splash screen process exiting .....Splash: sysCreateListenerSocket failed: No such file or directory | 16:50 |
| JonasD | How can I fix it? | 16:50 |
| unop__ | esteth, other 'real' reasons are different file system blocksizes, defragmentation, preventing processes from filing up the harddrive, security and mount point options, etc -- there are plenty more i can't remember now | 16:50 |
| nickrud | bastid_raZor hm, that's sad. You must have bunches ;) | 16:50 |
| christophoros | guys am new to ubuntu so i downloaded some drivers for kaffeine .. i have the drivers opened now with ARK program how i install them to kaffeine? | 16:51 |
| keiserr | failed md5 checksum | 16:51 |
| keiserr | i dont know if this is linked with the amount of ram on the system or the cpu of the machine i have no idea | 16:51 |
| esophagus | anyone had success getting scim working in openoffice, firefox, etc. without scim-bridge (doesn't work with kde so far) | 16:51 |
| esophagus | ? | 16:51 |
| Scunizi | bastid_raZor, maybe you need to clean out remaining .deb files and log files that have accumulated | 16:51 |
| Vadi | esophagus: not me... I hope ff3 can fix that though. | 16:52 |
| bastid_raZor | Scunizi; you mean like an apt-get autoremove? | 16:52 |
| christophoros | guys am new to ubuntu so i downloaded some drivers for kaffeine .. i have the drivers opened now with ARK program how i install them to kaffeine? | 16:52 |
| Scunizi | bastid_raZor, yes for the debs.. logs are different.. | 16:53 |
| soundray | !repeat | christophoros | 16:53 |
| bazhang | christophoros: install ubuntu-restricted-extras instead | 16:53 |
| bazhang | christophoros: or kubuntu-restricted-extras if you are using kubuntu | 16:53 |
| bastid_raZor | Scunizi; autoremove shows nothing to clean and the logs i'll look to see if i have an abundance.. | 16:53 |
| christophoros | am using ubuntu | 16:53 |
| esophagus | hmm, kde seems to be a scim hater | 16:53 |
| esophagus | i love it warts and all though | 16:54 |
| bazhang | christophoros: most everything should be installed from the repos; no need to go to random (untrustworthy) websites to download stuff | 16:54 |
| xFlipx | . | 16:54 |
| ubotu | christophoros: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 16:55 |
| christophoros | bazhang i downloaded this player from the ubuntu ad/remove | 16:55 |
| Frogger626 | Hello | 16:55 |
| agraupe | is there a way to set a standard-aspect resolution on a widescreen monitor without having it stretched (say, with black bars on the side or something)? | 16:55 |
| bazhang | christophoros: but the codecs from where | 16:55 |
| christophoros | from the page of the program | 16:55 |
| christophoros | i just dont know where to extract them | 16:55 |
| bazhang | what page christophoros | 16:55 |
| esteth | christophoros: You should also be able to download the codecs from the packages. try typing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" at a terminal | 16:56 |
| Frogger626 | Will removing a partition from a hard drive with two partitions delete the first (undeleted) partition? | 16:56 |
| christophoros | sec | 16:56 |
| bazhang | christophoros: just listen to esteth | 16:56 |
| Scunizi | Frogger626, it's your choice | 16:56 |
| Frogger626 | ??? | 16:56 |
| keiserr | okie okie tell me something | 16:56 |
| Scunizi | Frogger626, when removing partitions you make the choice as to which one you delete | 16:57 |
| Frogger626 | I want to remove one partition (to install ubuntu on) and leave the other intact | 16:57 |
| Frogger626 | I can do that, right? | 16:57 |
| Scunizi | Frogger626, sure.. is windows on the other partition? | 16:57 |
| Frogger626 | However did you guess? | 16:57 |
| Frogger626 | And I can delete partitions in Ubuntu using the Partition editer | 16:58 |
| Scunizi | Frogger626, dual boot is pretty common.. I do it. | 16:58 |
| Scunizi | Frogger626, yes | 16:58 |
| esophagus | you may want to keep that partition at a very small size | 16:58 |
| keiserr | if ( md5sum (the_iso_i_downloaded ) == THE_MD5SUM_of_the_iso_online) { it is supposed to mean iso isn't corrupted /*right???*/ } | 16:58 |
| esophagus | in case someday you can't get internet working and reliable windows is the only way to get your linux box working | 16:58 |
| esophagus | haha | 16:58 |
| esteth | Frogger626: You can only delete partitions you are not currently using using the partition editor | 16:58 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: yes | 16:58 |
| Frogger626 | And 'buntu will recognize the unpartitioned space and install to it, leaving the first undeleted partiton intact, right? | 16:59 |
| bazhang | windows = reliable?? | 16:59 |
| christophoros | esteth downloading it now | 16:59 |
| soundray | Frogger626: again, you will get to choose | 16:59 |
| christophoros | ill be able to play dvds right ?:o | 16:59 |
| esophagus | well | 16:59 |
| Frogger626 | Schweet | 16:59 |
| RayBan | D4X rewrites URL ie: http://www.myfile.com/files/theone.tar.gz become http://www.myfile.com//files/theone.tar.gz | 16:59 |
| esophagus | reliable in the sense that if your internet connection works | 16:59 |
| Xorothal | bazhang: windows == reliable. with a "==" not a "=" | 16:59 |
| esophagus | you can use it to boot up quickly to figure out how to fix linux | 16:59 |
| keiserr | Xorothal: then its the seventh disk i am burning and all are failing at retrieiving the same exact file! am soon gonna be having a lot of ubuntu 7.10 sever CD lying around, and i am soon going to be short on blank CDs | 17:00 |
| LjL | !test | 17:00 |
| Ubotwo | Failed. | 17:00 |
| Frogger626 | Thanks guys | 17:00 |
| esophagus | very useful when you have no xserver, no knowledge, and no access to forums | 17:00 |
| bazhang | christophoros: you need to get libdvdcss2 from www.medibuntu.org the instructions are on the site | 17:00 |
| bazhang | Xorothal: ;] | 17:00 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: maybe your drive is brokened | 17:00 |
| exxonn | i need some help ..im new to ubuntu | 17:00 |
| Scunizi | Frogger626, yep. as long as you tell it to.. partitiions in linux are referred differently.. drive 1, partition 1 is sda1... drive 2 partition 1 is sdb1, drive 1, partition 2 is sda2.. | 17:00 |
| christophoros | thx alot | 17:00 |

| soundray | Creationist: yes, there are extensions for that | 17:02 |
| Xorothal | Creationist: there is an extension, but I forget its name | 17:02 |
| bazhang | Creationist: yes: user agent switcher | 17:02 |
| Creationist | Okay, I figured there would be an extension, but had no idea what to even search for :) Thank you. | 17:02 |
| magnetron | keiserr: i wouldn't burn it faster than 4x | 17:02 |
| bastid_raZor | i must have fast hands.. i beat you all | 17:02 |
| Mudassar | Mozilla hanges in Ubuntu "sometimes" while I click on video link in YouTube. | 17:02 |
| Mudassar | this is a bug | 17:02 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: you mean it boots up, and works perfectly on one machine but not another? | 17:02 |
| * soundray pats bastid_raZor: well done | 17:02 | |
| Mudassar | any pack for that ? | 17:03 |

| lordleemo | Creationist: user agent switcher https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=user+agent&cat=all | 17:03 |
| bazhang | Mudassar: no problems here | 17:03 |
| Mudassar | it happens sometime | 17:03 |
| Mudassar | it hanges | 17:03 |
| Creationist | lordleemo: Found it :) Thanks | 17:03 |
| bastid_raZor | soundray; but lordleemo seems to have outdone me with his linkage.. :\ | 17:03 |
| magnetron | exxonn: there's a bittorrent client bundled with ubuntu. if you want another one, try transmission. install it with Applications > add/remove | 17:03 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: ? | 17:03 |
| bazhang | keiserr: then dsl or puppy linux which are around 30-40 MB | 17:03 |
| Cyborg | hello ppl | 17:03 |
| Cyborg | hi bod_ | 17:04 |

| Jabroni5 | ...mumble mumble...googlebot...mumble...search engine cloaking | 17:04 |
| Cyborg | i've done it :) | 17:04 |

| Cyborg | i read and read and read and i just mount my ntfs partition :) | 17:04 |
| Creationist | Hmm...is there an extension to make firefox report me as using Windows? lol Apparently this site only works for Windows computers (which is doubtful from a technical point of view). | 17:04 |
| kantlivelon1 | hey all.. can some kernel guru help me out? | 17:04 |
| Mudassar | this behaviour of Mozilla in Youtube in ubuntu is very much irritating | 17:04 |
| exxonn | magnetron: i dont think i have the bundled bittorrent client .. whats it called again? | 17:04 |
| magnetron | !ask | kantlivelon1 | 17:04 |
| Ubotwo | kantlivelon1: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 17:04 |
| esophagus | scim | 17:04 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: then it's your machine that's broken | 17:04 |
| kantlivelon1 | ok.. | 17:05 |
| Mudassar | it's either problem in Youtube development or Ubuntu | 17:05 |
| Cyborg | i wana install flash player for konqueror | 17:05 |
| magnetron | exxonn: just doubleclick your .torrent file | 17:05 |
| Cyborg | some help | 17:05 |
| bazhang | kantlivelon1: this is not really a kernel support channel what is your question | 17:05 |
| Cyborg | ;) | 17:05 |
| keiserr | Xorothal : explain .. i can't make sense of that | 17:05 |
| Mudassar | it doesn't happen in windows | 17:05 |
| exxonn | ok lemme try | 17:05 |
| Cyborg | i wana install flash player for konqueror some help ? | 17:05 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: the problem is not with the disc, but with the machine | 17:05 |
| bazhang | Mudassar: likley your setup not youtube or ubuntu; it works fine here | 17:05 |
| xFlipx | Mudass - no problems here | 17:05 |
| kantlivelon1 | i actually use gentoo. but i have a specially made ubuntu livecd for car computers. my problem is.. on the ubuntu cd my touchscreen works. but on gentoo kernel its not.. i have the same kernel options set(so i think).. can someone help me pick thru and figure out what im missing? | 17:06 |
| Mudassar | keep changing videos in youtube... | 17:06 |
| keiserr | is it possible to load installation files via http? (i have a web server running on this machine) | 17:06 |
| Mudassar | it will hang once in 10 tries | 17:06 |
| bazhang | Mudassar: up your firefox cache | 17:06 |
| Mudassar | how ? | 17:06 |
| kantlivelon1 | heh | 17:07 |
| bazhang | keiserr: how about the minimal iso? it is only 9MB | 17:07 |
| xFlipx | mudass: look for the options | 17:07 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: possibly, or you could use samba and smbmount onto the directory | 17:07 |
| keiserr | that would be cool | 17:07 |
| kantlivelon1 | as i figured.. no one | 17:07 |
| bazhang | keiserr: then you can net install the rest as you wish | 17:07 |
| Siefgred | salut | 17:07 |
| keiserr | hmm any link as to how i make a remote samba installation? | 17:07 |
| bazhang | xFlipx: tab completion is your friend | 17:08 |
| Jabroni5 | i think it's the "car computers" build that scared them off kant | 17:08 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: on a windows box | 17:08 |
| keiserr | Xorothal: i don't have windows | 17:08 |
| Andycasss | chown -R --dereference www-data:www-data wwwroot gives me "-R --dereference requires either -H or -L" Which one should i use? | 17:09 |
| keiserr | ahh got you.. | 17:09 |
| Mudassar | how can I increase the cache of mozilla ? | 17:09 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: what did you think I meant? | 17:09 |
| keiserr | you want me to share a folder which has the iso mounteR? | 17:09 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: yes | 17:09 |
| bazhang | kantlivelon1: this is a gentoo kernel problem? | 17:09 |
| nickrud | kantlivelon1 you expected to find someone using touchscreens (and knowing the kernel internals of it) on one quick question? ;p | 17:09 |
| keiserr | *mounted | 17:09 |
| keiserr | okie shall try | 17:09 |
| keiserr | but how do i boot form that when i am remote on a machine that has nothing instaled? | 17:09 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: but bear in mind what I'm saying is an educated guess at most | 17:10 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: are you getting a gui/terminal? | 17:10 |
| kantlivelon1 | bazhang: nickrud: dont see why a kernel issue would be related to gentoo.. using vanilla | 17:10 |
| keiserr | Xorothal, : i am on macosx right now | 17:10 |
| bazhang | kantlivelon1: but the ubuntu works and gentoo is the problem, correct? | 17:10 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| kantlivelon1 | bazhang: yeah but everything is matching.. xorg version, xorg.conf, udev rules.. kernel config is the only thing i can point to | 17:11 |
| Mudassar | problem still persists | 17:11 |
| bazhang | Mudassar: under preferences | 17:11 |
| cE_SorE | as | 17:11 |
| Mudassar | then? | 17:11 |
| meoblast001 | how do i change the screen resolution for PS3 Ubuntu without the screen going blue? | 17:11 |
| cE_SorE | asdasda | 17:11 |

| Mudassar | there is no way to increase the cache size in mozilla | 17:12 |
| bazhang | Mudassar: you need to restart firefox and clear your history and cache this is not a ubuntu problem | 17:13 |
| Mudassar | I have done it many times | 17:13 |
| Xorothal | keiserr: is the machine which mac os x is installed on the one that gives you errors? | 17:13 |
| Mudassar | but problem happens | 17:13 |
| meoblast001 | i have a big problem...... the screensize on my PS3 Ubuntu is smaller than the minimum size of synaptic...... i think thats a problem.... could someone help me? | 17:14 |
| bazhang | Mudassar: again there is a way to increase the cache you need to look for it; also not an ubuntu problem so offtopic here | 17:14 |
| soundray | Mudassar: then I'd suggest you start with a completely new firefox configuration. Stop firefox and run 'mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozillaconfig-backup' | 17:14 |

| dkZ | err:module:import_dll Library WMVCore.DLL -> how I can install this library for wine ¿? | 17:15 |
| Condoulo | hey, I have a question, which may not relate to Ubuntu entirely, but just GTK apps in general. Why can't I use alt codes like I can't in Windows? Is there an alternative? | 17:15 |
| Jabroni5 | screen rez bugs happen a lot to me on Parallels/Mac Ubuntu system Meo -- i'm guessing it's not u.... | 17:15 |
| soundray | Condoulo: Shift-Ctrl-U-code | 17:16 |
| dkZ | err:module:import_dll Library WMVCore.DLL -> how can I install this library for wine? | 17:16 |
| keiserr | xorothak :p i wasn't registerred yet :p | 17:16 |
| Condoulo | soundray- would the codes be the same as regular alt codes, or are they different. | 17:17 |
| bastid_raZor | any lucky person using AWN? if so which repo are you using for it? i have 2 seperate ones to pick from. | 17:17 |
| bazhang | bastid_raZor: the ppa ones? | 17:17 |
| soundray | Condoulo: they are Unicode. I don't know whether that is what you're used to or not | 17:17 |
| soundray | Condoulo: run gucharmap to look up the code for your character | 17:17 |
| Condoulo | soundray, oh. I'm not sure what alt codes in Windows are. | 17:17 |
| azexian | anyone else experienced the white box problem on ut2004? | 17:18 |
| sayers | Is there any sever software for selling web hosting that is OSS? | 17:18 |
| Condoulo | soundray- I'm not actually in Ubuntu at the moment. I just knew that the question I had related to GTK apps as a whole, so thats why I asked in here. | 17:18 |
| bastid_raZor | bazhang; are those the ones you are using? i 'thought' those borked the preferecnes of AWN.. the other set i have are tuxfamily.org/syzgy42 .. i am currently using those but now i get 404 error when updating | 17:18 |
| Scunizi | azexian, nope but you may want to turn off effects to run ut | 17:18 |
| bastid_raZor | bazhang; i do have the ppa ones but i have them commented out.. | 17:19 |
| bazhang | bastid_raZor: I think the ppa ones are the preferred variety; awn comes in the ubuntu repos starting next release ;] | 17:19 |
| Immersion | Hello everyone. I am a Mac user making the switch! I was wondering if anyone could assist me with setting up right-click my Macbook? | 17:19 |
| taranto | Team Speak users? | 17:19 |
| azexian | Scunizi: no, I think it's just a problem as I changed from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling, although someone was in here the other day with the same problem, perhaps I might try a patch... how about getting my key out the game, can anyone advice? | 17:19 |
| taranto | Team Speak users? PVT | 17:19 |
| esteth | taranto: I use teamspeak on ubuntu | 17:19 |
| sayers | Immersion, I've seen it work a lot better in the new 8.04 version | 17:19 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/rtstat.txt headlines: "RTACCT Utility". What does 'RTACCT' stand for? route account? | 17:19 |
| Immersion | Sayers, I am using the 8.04 version. :) | 17:20 |
| bazhang | Immersion: by right click you mean with a one-button mouse? | 17:20 |
| soundray | bullgard4: I haven't got the slightest. Sorry. | 17:20 |
| bastid_raZor | bazhang; nice.. that makes me want to do a package backup and reinstall.. speaking of being in the repo's of hardy will those override the current packages i have for AWN? | 17:20 |
| taranto | esteth, man. you can help me? | 17:20 |
| azexian | anyone know how I might get my key out of my ut2004 install? | 17:20 |
| Immersion | bazhang, I mean with my Macbook's trackpad. Trying to set up the 2 finger tap. | 17:20 |
| bazhang | Immersion: then that would be #ubuntu+1 thanks | 17:20 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: ok. Thank you. | 17:20 |
| esteth | !ask | taranto | 17:20 |
| ubotu | taranto: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 17:20 |

| taranto | aff | 17:21 |
| bazhang | bastid_raZor: not sure about that; best to remove before you do the Hardy ones if you are going to upgrade to #ubuntu+1 in a couple of weeks | 17:21 |
| Scunizi | azexian, backup the entire directory and look for a hidden directory /.ut2004 | 17:21 |
| bazhang | wow double bot attack | 17:21 |
| Jabroni5 | ouch | 17:22 |
| azexian | Scunizi: do you mean ~/.ut2004 ? | 17:22 |
| meoblast001 | does anyone know how to add new screen resolutions? | 17:22 |
| Jabroni5 | 800x600-16 was recommended as default for my system | 17:22 |
| Scunizi | azexian, yes.. and any standard visable directories.. you should be able to just copy them back | 17:22 |
| bazhang | meoblast001: gui or cli? | 17:22 |
| soundray | meoblast001: you can pick from a list as you go through the xorg.conf wizard 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 17:23 |
| meoblast001 | bazhang: Gnome | 17:23 |
| sfleury | dooglus: thanks for your help, the file copy was working | 17:23 |
| azexian | Scunizi: ok, just moved my ~/.ut2004 dir, gonna go and test to see if it was just bad cache or something... | 17:23 |
| bastid_raZor | bazhang; okay.. i do plan on upgrading probably next month after a few more bugs are worked out.. anything else that might need removed before a hardy upgrade? i've pondered doing the !clone option then formatting / and starting over. | 17:23 |
| meoblast001 | soundray: yes but whenever i add more than the defaults..... it causes my VCR's default blue to come up as soon as GDM appears | 17:23 |
| nownot | when i try to install uvc drivers i get error: 'struct input_dev' nas no member name 'dev', can someone pls help me with this | 17:23 |

| esteth | bastid_raZor: drivers installed via envy must be removed before a distribution upgrade | 17:24 |
| meoblast001 | bazhang: shiny clicky interface..... lol GUI... | 17:24 |
| bazhang | bastid_raZor: not that I know of; but I am not the expert and we should talk about this in #ubuntu+1 ;] | 17:24 |
| bastid_raZor | esteth; envy.. you have got to be kidding.. who would touch envy or automatix.. bleh | 17:24 |

| bazhang | dosnubbie: you tried the livecd when | 17:36 |
| dooglus | Andycasss: "man chown" should help clear that up | 17:36 |

| dosnubbie | bazhang: The network card worked in LiveCD. It link'd and all(lights blinked). On the install I've been using for months though... | 17:39 |
| bazhang | Phoenix83: you want to remaster the livecd? why not just use the alternate cd which let you install them at the end | 17:39 |
| soundray | sivel_: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz | 17:39 |
| dosnubbie | bazhang: The network card's lights don't even turn on | 17:39 |
| Phoenix83 | bazhang, I can't even boot the live version | 17:39 |
| bazhang | dosnubbie: apart from the blinky lights, did the connection work? like going to yahoo, google etc | 17:40 |
| Phoenix83 | seems strange though, why make a live cd which doesn't include the n1 or 2 main vcard distri's? | 17:40 |
| soundray | Phoenix83: tried Safe Graphics mode? | 17:40 |
| sivel_ | nope, still at half. i also have cpufreqd installed | 17:40 |

| DeathKiNG242 | Can somebody answer my question.. | 17:46 |
| marx2k | bazhang: i have KLibido and Nicotine running. Neither throttle their own upload speeds. I would like a program that can throttle the upload speeds of those apps (or any app) | 17:46 |
| Seveas | DirtyMonkey, then find something else. We do not support it. | 17:46 |
| Survivorman | Laurenceb_, you may need to enable repositories in system -> administration -> software sources | 17:46 |
| Phoenix83 | anywayz, thanks for the info | 17:46 |

| Stevi1 | Hi, I wondered if anyone would be able to help me, I have trawled the web in search of an answer to my really slow wireless speeds (not IP6 as I have changed these settings) My wired downloads at 700Kbps, my wireless prior to Ubuntu was at least 400-500Kbps but since the Ubuntu install today it is now max at 70Kbps, any ideas?

| Iolaus | Hey all, I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 8.04 and the installation hangs (or at least I stop getting any display) unless I use safe graphics mode. My video is Intel 965. Does anyone have a suggestion or at least a way to show the commands being executed during install (instead of the progress graphic) to see if I can maybe catch the problem? | 17:51 |
| omar | Guys how can I change my IP address? | 17:51 |
| marx2k | Hm, trickle seems to be a command-line speed throttling app that launches programs as a wrapper. Does anyone know of an app that will throttle already-running apps? Possibly with an ncurses-based display? | 17:51 |

| Survivorman | Laurenceb_, keep watch during the installation, after downloading, you'll have to accept the TOS for java at some point and hit ok at a blue screen | 17:51 |
| Seveas | omar, klick on the networkmanager applet, then on manual config | 17:52 |

| ubotu | christophoros: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 18:25 |
| kbrooks | chuckf, it's unnecessary | 18:25 |
| chuckf | so you will have to connect via the ip adress | 18:25 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, find the ip of the computer you want to connect to and replace the hostname.local with the ip. | 18:26 |
| kbrooks | ToddEDM, you need to find the ip address - right click on the 2 tiny computers in the top panel and select ummm | 18:26 |
| christophoros | bazhang when i go to System → Preferences → Appearance → Desktop Effects i cant change them | 18:26 |
| kbrooks | ToddEDM, "cpnnection info" | 18:26 |
| Ashfire908 | what's the difference in k3b between "Normal Copy" and "Clone Copy"? | 18:26 |

| RoAkSoAx | Hi all, my num pad is not working as it's supposed on X, it does work on a tty. How can i reconfigure it? | 18:27 |
| ToddEDM | i can just access my router, yes? | 18:27 |
| bazhang | christophoros: then you need to install the 3d drivers for your card; which card is it | 18:27 |
| Triona | Good afternoon. Trying to figure out how to hot plug an IDE device, haven't had to do so in quite some time, and the last time I did it was pre-udev. | 18:27 |
| christophoros | it says "desktop effects could not be enabled" | 18:27 |
| ToddEDM | the IP that i need is the one the router assignes? | 18:27 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, run the command "ifconfig". the interface eth0 should have the right ip. | 18:27 |
| christophoros | it was enabled like 3 hours ago then i restarted and it does not work | 18:27 |
| iositd | Triona, does your mobo support hotplugging? | 18:27 |
| Triona | Iositd: yes. | 18:28 |
| ToddEDM | ipconfig.. on the kids PC? | 18:28 |
| kbrooks | ToddEDM, open up a terminal, type ifconfig, your IP is in "inet addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" | 18:28 |
| ToddEDM | duh... nm dont answer that | 18:28 |
| bazhang | christophoros: which card what drivers and how installed | 18:28 |
| kbrooks | ToddEDM, ifconfig | 18:28 |
| ToddEDM | if | 18:28 |
| ToddEDM | ok | 18:28 |
| christophoros | how i see if they are instaled? | 18:28 |
| ToddEDM | hold on im gonna head downstairs to the basement | 18:28 |
| Triona | the last time I did it, I was able to use hdparm to rescan the bus, but it doesn't want to do so without any device nodes there. | 18:28 |

| bazhang | christophoros: three questions please answer them all; lspci for the card | 18:29 |

| chuckf | Goodgame, by the time your torrent the iso for 7.10 you'll problaby have used the same amount of time as downloading the updates | 18:37 |
| Frogger626 | that I am so confused over | 18:37 |
| chuckf | if you have a blank cd | 18:37 |
| b0ha | nickrud, suspend, hibernate works, but still a lot times freeze | 18:37 |
| Goodgame | chuckf, I don't wanna laste a blank cd | 18:37 |
| nickrud | b0ha you mean suspend freezes often? | 18:37 |
| christophoros | bazhang ty alot | 18:37 |
| jaffarkelshac | the only think i witch to windows for now is veoh, is there no work around | 18:37 |
| Goodgame | epecially because it's not for me, and 8.04 is going out in 3 weeks | 18:38 |
| b0ha | nickrud, suspend and also closing the lid | 18:38 |

| Frogger626 | Windows won't start | 18:38 |
| chuckf | Goodgame, k | 18:38 |
| iositd | Frogger626, perhaps you can explain your situation in the channel so we can all assist you. | 18:38 |
| Frogger626 | OK. | 18:38 |
| Goodgame | bye | 18:38 |
| christophoros | guys anyone care to tell me how i check for restricted drivers? | 18:38 |
| nickrud | b0ha I don't have any real fixes for suspend, it really depends on your hardware and isn't complete for all types. You can disable the suspend action on lid close with system->prefs->screensaver , power management button | 18:38 |
| Aoshi_1 | guys | 18:38 |
| Frogger626 | C:, the drive with windows, is intact. Filesystem, WINDOWS, everything. | 18:39 |
| Aoshi_1 | whats betther? installing ubuntu 7.0.4 or installing ubuntu 8beta | 18:39 |
| Aoshi_1 | ? | 18:39 |
| steven | Is there an "apt-get" command I can use to update Xorg from 6.10 to 7.10.... My laptop screen works fine with Ubuntu 7.10, but I get "No screens found" with Ubuntu 6.10. | 18:39 |
| iositd | Frogger626, try to make it on a single long line, and your problem at the start please :-) | 18:39 |
| chuckf | Aoshi_1, are you needing a stable system? | 18:39 |
| nickrud | steven you would have to upgrade the whoe system, going to 7.04 then to 7.10 | 18:39 |
| nickrud | *whole | 18:40 |
| nickrud | christophoros which one? | 18:40 |
| ib | I need to run a long command to get mplayer to work, is there any way I can assign it to a script so that when I right click the file I want to play, "open with mplayerscript" will be an option? | 18:40 |
| bokey | steven, can u use command line? | 18:40 |
| Aoshi_1 | yes chuckf, I need a stable desktop system for my sister but a system who can be upgraded easy to the 8 stable | 18:40 |
| christophoros | nickrud for grafic card | 18:40 |
| steven | nickrud, so I cannot just update the Video portion of the O/S... i NEED to use Ubuntu 6.10 | 18:40 |
| jcp | where could i find information about compiling my own custom kernel with ubuntu | 18:40 |
| steven | bokey, Yes I am at the command line now | 18:40 |
| arquebus | I have a nvidia 8800gtx and ubuntu live wont start, anyone know why? | 18:40 |
| Aoshi_1 | whast easyer upgradint the 8beta to the 8 stable or upgrading 7.0.4 to the 8 stable? | 18:40 |
| bokey | steven, ok.. good $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; | 18:40 |
| nickrud | steven no, X is too tightly tied to each release. Why do you need 6.10? | 18:40 |
| jaffarkelshac | the only think i witch to windows for now is veoh, is there no work around | 18:40 |
| b4l74z4r | what's the command for locating a given file with the terminal? | 18:40 |
| bokey | steven, follow the prompt.. pretty self-explanatory | 18:41 |
| Frogger626 | OK, sorry. Like I said, Windows won't start, C: (which has WINDOWS on it) is intact, and whenever I go to turn on w/o the Ubuntu disk in, it tries to load GRUB and fails with "Error 21" | 18:41 |
| chuckf | the beta will update as things go along | 18:41 |
| Jabroni5 | arq, try installing 7.04 | 18:41 |
| iositd | b4l74z4r, you already said it: locate. | 18:41 |
| comicinker | ib: use nautilus script extension | 18:41 |
| nickrud | christophoros which video card? lspci | grep -i vga in a terminal will tell you exactly | 18:41 |
| chuckf | I've been running it here on two machines and have been happy | 18:41 |
| nickrud | b4l74z4r locate <partoffilename> | 18:41 |
| iositd | !grub | Frogger626 (this has some fixes for you) | 18:41 |
| ubotu | Frogger626 (this has some fixes for you): 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 | 18:41 |
| b0ha | nickrud, yes but it also freeze if i have actions->do nothing ;) | 18:41 |
| steven | bokey, I did that already. I have a 15.4 Widescreen on a Dell Latitude D630.... I reconfigured and still get No Screens Found | 18:41 |
| ib | comicinker: Thanks | 18:41 |
| chuckf | if your sis is a normal user, she should be fine with it | 18:41 |
| christophoros | nickrud 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 18:41 |
| nickrud | b0ha that sucks then. | 18:41 |
| ToddEDM | ok guys, what is 'dpkg --configure -a' ? | 18:41 |
| b0ha | nickrud, thanks anyway | 18:41 |
| b4l74z4r | iositd, i used "locate wine.cfg" and it didn't return anything even though i know i have the file somewhere | 18:41 |
| steven | nickrud, I am using this build for work and they have packages that only work with Ubuntu 6.10 | 18:41 |
| chuckf | unless an update comes down the pike that breask something | 18:41 |
| arquebus | Jabroni, I downloaded it a month or two ago, is that 7.04? | 18:42 |
| iositd | b4l74z4r, try sudo updatedb first then | 18:42 |
| bokey | steven, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your editor with root priviledge | 18:42 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 18:42 |
| nickrud | christophoros that chip doesn't have a restricted driver, the one that comes native with ubuntu is the best available | 18:42 |
| steven | bokey, there, now what? | 18:42 |
| christophoros | nickrud so why i cant enable the visual effects? | 18:42 |
| Jabroni5 | i can get a link arq, but 7.04 solved my gui glitch install problems, then updated to 7.1 | 18:42 |
| bokey | steven, go to the line where it says 'Screen ....' | 18:42 |
| Frogger626 | Obotu, that's not the problem. I tried to install Ubuntu on a thumb drive. It didn't work (maybe) and when I try to boot off the HD (thumb drive, CD out) it STILL tries to load GRUB! How do I fix that? | 18:42 |
| steven | bokey, "Default Screen", "Intel Corporation Intel Default Card", "Generic Monitor", "24" | 18:43 |
| Aoshi_1 | chuckf what do you think? | 18:43 |
| iositd | Frogger626, i made ubotu issue that line. It does however, hold the answer to your problem. | 18:43 |
| tobmaif | botbanner | 18:43 |
| nickrud | christophoros because it has a bug, and is blacklisted. See http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist for the reason, and a way to override the blacklisting | 18:43 |
| arquebus | Jabroni, oh I see, dl the older one, ok thx for your help | 18:43 |
| foug | Any Opera users here? | 18:43 |
| steven | bokey, I have 6 SubSection "Display" | 18:43 |
| Frogger626 | I didn't see a way to remove GRUB from the MBR... Didn't look hard enough, iositd? | 18:44 |
| chuckf | Aoshi_1, personally at this point I would go for the beta | 18:44 |
| Jabroni5 | ya, that's all i was saying...gl arq | 18:44 |
| bokey | steven, that's good | 18:44 |
| kciuq | I use a soundblaster X-Fi card, and i cant find any decent drivers for it, anyone know where i might find one? | 18:44 |
| bokey | steven, was going to ask you that =) | 18:44 |
| Aoshi_1 | chuckf why? | 18:44 |
| steven | bokey, range in depths: 1,4,8,15,16,24 | 18:44 |
| timo | any know if ubuntu can mute like vista (mute each application independently) | 18:44 |
| nickrud | timo not yet | 18:44 |
| chuckf | Aoshi_1, because it is pretty much ready and I would be surprised if there's any major issue at this point | 18:45 |
| maek | timo that functionality is going to be in Hardy Heron | 18:45 |
| ib | comicinker: How do I access the nautilus script extension menu? | 18:45 |
| foug | Any Opera users here? | 18:45 |
| bokey | steven, and 'modes'? | 18:45 |
| Jabroni5 | what is "mute" feature? | 18:45 |
| iositd | Frogger626, just removing grub? that means a reinstall of the MBR from windows. Boot from a windows xp cd, go into recovery terminal and issue fixmbr. Then reboot and you're done. | 18:45 |
| steven | bokey, they all have the same modes: 1280x800, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480......... I don't think any of those are WideScreen tho? | 18:45 |
| iositd | steven, 1280x800 is widescreen | 18:45 |
| freewilly | yes xfi, oss4 segfaults.. | 18:45 |
| comicinker | Frogger626: you want to remove remove grub? try the fixmbr command on the windows start cd | 18:45 |
| Jabroni5 | 16:9 is wide | 18:45 |
| bokey | steven, i use widescreen.. that's fine :) | 18:45 |
| chuckf | Aoshi_1, how close physically are you and your sister? | 18:45 |
| nickrud | ib you need to drop a script in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts , then it'll show up in the context menu. | 18:45 |
| Leva | ðÒÉ×ÅÔ ×ÓÅÍ!!! | 18:45 |
| Frogger626 | iositd: It is possible to dual-boot w/out the XP CD? | 18:45 |
| maek | foug Flash doesn't work in Opera so Opera is useless | 18:45 |
| iositd | Frogger626, yes, if you create a /boot on your main HDD | 18:46 |
| chuckf | Aoshi_1, if something happened to the machine, would she be down for long without you around? | 18:46 |
| steven | bokey, hmm.... That's I wanted to just update the video portion of this OS.. because I was running Ubuntu 7.10 prior and it was perfect | 18:46 |
| Frogger626 | 'Cuz the dude who made this POS gave me an illegal copy | 18:46 |
| nickrud | maek didn't opera release a beta that does work? | 18:46 |
| foug | maek: well, i got it working in an earlier version of Opera. All I did was copy libflashplayer.so to the plugins folder, but that doesn't work anymore | 18:46 |
| steven | bokey, because of dependencies at my current job I need to run Ubuntu 6.10 | 18:46 |
| bokey | steven, sounds like driver issue | 18:46 |
| iositd | Frogger626, it doesn't matter what version it is. You can boot of them and fix your MBR with it just fine. | 18:46 |
| christophoros | nickrud how i can use this command in terminal? "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager" | 18:46 |
| comicinker | ib: did you restart nautilus | 18:46 |
| comicinker | ? | 18:46 |
| bokey | steven,are you selecting the right driver dude? | 18:46 |
| ib | comicinker: Thanks | 18:46 |
| nickrud | christophoros type it directly in the terminal, without the " . | 18:46 |
| muhaha007 | hi folks, does anybody know, where the pythoncard samples launcher is located in ubuntu 7.10 ? (python 2.5) | 18:46 |
| maek | not sure nickrud | 18:47 |
| steven | bokey, do you think if I install Ubuntu 7.10 again, copy this X file, reinstall 6.10 and then overwrite it, it will work? | 18:47 |
| comicinker | ib: don't forget to chmod +x your skript? | 18:47 |
| timo | maek: i feel blesst | 18:47 |
| Jabroni5 | in 7.10, muhahah, just go to synaptic manager, in system menu | 18:47 |
| bokey | steven, well you don't have to reinstall 6.10.. this isn't major issue imho.. what card do you use? | 18:48 |
| Monobi2 | Is 5 GB enough space for an ubuntu installation ? | 18:48 |
| Jabroni5 | system:adminstration:synaptic package manager | 18:48 |
| timo | maek:whens it commin out | 18:48 |
| kqrl | i am right now on a kubuntu livecd, and mount complains about mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member', i know that has something to do with my fedora, but i really need to mount, so how? :P | 18:48 |
| bokey | steven, video card i.e. | 18:48 |
| maek | !hardy | timo | 18:48 |
| ubotu | timo: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 18:48 |
| nickrud | Monobi2 for a toy test one, yes. You won't be able to save much, or install a lot, but it will function fine | 18:48 |
| Monobi2 | nickrud: gah, ok. | 18:48 |
| steven | bokey, the video card is just an Integrated Graphics Card | 18:48 |
| garotosopa | How can I tell if a package has been installed manually or automatically as a dependency? | 18:48 |
| timo | thank you | 18:48 |
| christophoros | nickrud i done what the page says but it doesnt seem i can enable my grafics now:/ | 18:49 |
| timo | #join #ubuntu+1 | 18:49 |
| daroou | hello, how do you prevent the ubuntu (hardy heron) installer from installing grub to the mbr? I would like the boot record to be installed only on sdb not sda | 18:49 |
| nickrud | Monobi2 if you can give it 15gb, you'll be in a very usable config | 18:49 |
| steven | bokey, I have to look up this serial number to see the exact thing.... its nothing special | 18:49 |
| bokey | steven, so it's intel board with onboard graphics i'd assume? | 18:49 |
| steven | bokey, yes | 18:49 |
| Jabroni5 | visit hardy heron #ubuntu+1 channel daroou | 18:49 |
| nickrud | christophoros if that command worked, you'd have the effects running immediately. I've seen some 965's work, and others not. Don't know why. | 18:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | steven: no sound? | 18:49 |
| steven | bokey, I am re-trying the dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now.... the default X server driver chosen is: "i810" | 18:49 |
| bokey | steven, right... you are using i810 driver i think.. | 18:50 |
| daroou | Jabroni5, ok | 18:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh nevermind | 18:50 |
| bokey | steven, that won't work :) | 18:50 |
| weeman13221 | hey folks im having a bit of a problem with security anywhere i can go or anyone who can help me with this | 18:50 |
| christophoros | nickrud so i cant use any effects now ? | 18:50 |
| steven | IndyGunFreak, No sound either, lol, but I don't need it | 18:50 |
| fantum13 | weeman13221: What sort of security? | 18:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | steven: lol, the intelHDA devices, some are a pain | 18:50 |
| owen1 | how to check if i have a package from the terminal? | 18:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: the voice of experience w/ intel motherobards..lol | 18:50 |
| tobmaif | botbanner | 18:50 |
| steven | bokey, Then what do I pick? lol | 18:50 |
| nickrud | christophoros maybe when hardy comes out, you should ask for info about it in #ubuntu+1 (only a couple weeks away) | 18:51 |
| bokey | steven, what comes up when you do lspci? | 18:51 |
| bokey | !paste | steven | 18:51 |
| ubotu | steven: 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) | 18:51 |
| nickrud | christophoros I meant ask for info in #ubuntu+1 now, that is. That sentence didn't quite say that :) | 18:51 |
| steven | IndyGunFreak, its all good.. just using for Work... I have 7.10 on my T60P, running great ! | 18:51 |
| christophoros | nickrud when i do that command i get some error too | 18:51 |
| kqrl | i am right now on a kubuntu livecd, and mount complains about mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member', i know that has something to do with my fedora, but i really need to mount, so how? :P | 18:51 |
| owen1 | how to check if a package exist from the terminal? | 18:51 |
| nickrud | christophoros put the error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 18:51 |
| christophoros | ah ok | 18:52 |
| christophoros | sec | 18:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | steven: well, if its any consolation, the IntelHDA issue, and even my Intel Graphics, work great under hardy | 18:52 |
| weeman13221 | well i logged on and a window came up saying something i believe it was like something along the lines of someone may be trying to control my computer etc and now i cant like right click on the desktop | 18:52 |
| weeman13221 | and i dont see things on my desktop | 18:52 |
| nickrud | christophoros saw it | 18:52 |
| === steven__ is now known as sayers | ||
| nickrud | christophoros you can get more info on #compiz-fusion as well | 18:52 |
| steven | bokey, well.. how am I going to copy that, its on the laptop next to me | 18:52 |
| bod_ | weeman13221, restart nautilus, if that doesnt work, reinstall it -- id shut down first incase anyone is remotely using ur comp | 18:52 |
| weeman13221 | bod_ little further detail as to how to do all that, noobish | 18:53 |
| bokey | steven, just paste the output of 'lspci | grep VGA' and paste it here | 18:53 |
| steven | IndyGunFreak, nice | 18:54 |
| bod_ | weeman13221, ok -- in a terminal type sudo apt-get purge nautilus && sudo apt-get install nautilus" | 18:54 |
| bod_ | without quotes | 18:54 |
| steven | bokey, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 2a02 (rev Oc) | 18:54 |
| iositd | bod_, apt-get install --reinstall might be more safe? | 18:55 |
| bod_ | iositd, maybe, but i find removing all instances and starting fresh is more reliable, but yes a reinstall is safer then a purge & install | 18:55 |
| bokey | steven, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i915Driver#head-ae723fd1968b04edba50253d75138b29444e1a57 and see how it goes | 18:56 |
| weeman13221 | bod_ ok did that anything from there | 18:56 |
| bod_ | weeman13221, restart x (press ctrl+alt+backspace) | 18:56 |
| DirtyMonkey | whats the Ubuntu equivilent of: rpm -Uvh ./* | 18:56 |
| steven | bokey, thanks ill try now | 18:57 |
| bod_ | Ubuntu isnt a language -- DirtyMonkey what does that command do? | 18:57 |
| Odd-rationale | which packages has the gnome screenshot utility? | 18:57 |
| bokey | steven: okie =) | 18:57 |
| orkun | help - i want to equalize things - ANYhow(maybe without using jack) - i have pulseaudio installed - i can play around with pretty much everything - but googling says wait for pulseaudio etc - this will make it possible systemwide | 18:57 |

| \C-g | hi all. Got a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu machine. Booting has got as far as "loading hardware drivers" then it's showing lots of errors. "exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0" | 18:58 |
| DirtyMonkey | i need to install all files contained in a folder at teh same time | 18:58 |
| \C-g | there are a few lines of errors then they repeat | 18:58 |
| DirtyMonkey | something about a key | 18:58 |
| bod_ | DirtyMonkey, are all the files the same file type? | 18:58 |
| \C-g | any ideas what might be wrong? or what I need to show for it to be apparent what's wrong... | 18:58 |
| Studiosus | Is there any tool to create "snapshot" of installed packages in Ubuntu, so one can rollback to some snapshot? | 18:59 |
| DirtyMonkey | yes all .deb | 18:59 |
| \C-g | a little worried for my files :p | 18:59 |
| echelon_ | hi | 18:59 |
| Frogger626 | Erm, that guide you gave me makes no sense (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows). I have no clue how to put in commands correctly after I enter the grub menu. | 18:59 |
| DirtyMonkey | otherwise i get a problem with the 'kry' ??? | 18:59 |
| echelon_ | i just did a fresh install of ubuntu on an hp pavilian dv8000, but now i just get a blank screen | 18:59 |
| InGunsWeTrust | I have such a cool problem this requires a back story: At school we have this fun game where when people walk away from their computer without locking it somebody puts a stupid picture as their desktop background. So i opened the gconf editor and went to the setting /desktop/gnome/background and set the value "picture_filename" as "manditory" for some reason next time I booted up my background had switched back to the default back | 18:59 |
| DirtyMonkey | typo=key | 18:59 |
| orkun | Studiosus, i am pretty sure that sbackup does that | 18:59 |
| bod_ | DirtyMonkey, why do u have a file filled with .debs? | 18:59 |
| orkun | Studiosus, it creates a list of all packages installed at least | 19:00 |
| spike-2008 | /ouit | 19:00 |
| DirtyMonkey | thats the way it unpacked | 19:00 |
| === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY | ||
| orkun | Studiosus, and by default settings does not backup things like /usr - but you should google it | 19:00 |
| bod_ | DirtyMonkey, what unpacked? | 19:00 |
| Frogger626 | Hello? | 19:00 |
| bod_ | hi | 19:00 |
| dotech | orkun, hey im working on a pulseaudio / alsa problem too | 19:00 |
| esther | hello | 19:00 |
| DirtyMonkey | the file i need to install | 19:00 |
| orkun | i do not have a problem :) just want to equalize things | 19:00 |
| orkun | even getting bass out would be enough | 19:01 |
| DirtyMonkey | apparently the fix is to run the command # rpm -Uvh ./* | 19:01 |
| bod_ | DirtyMonkey, what does the README say? | 19:01 |
| DirtyMonkey | it doesn't | 19:01 |
| esther | im new in this, were are you all from | 19:01 |
| InGunsWeTrust | the short story of my problem is "How do I make a gconf key not mandatory anymore" | 19:01 |
| Frogger626 | How does the syntax work there? | 19:01 |
| binarical-app | I updated my 710 system to 804 (i followed a wiki where repos for hardy were added) i am happy that my system isnt broken :D However i am experianceing strangeness. on DE login there are multiple natulus windows flashed . otherwise the bar with "quit", "minimise" and "fullscreen" options are missing from all launched applications. "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" return as null. Per graphical update manager, a partial up | 19:01 |
| iositd | esther, we're from all around the globe, helping each other. Is there something i may help you with? | 19:01 |
| bod_ | DirtyMonkey, i dont know how to install .debs but someone else might,.,. what are you tryin to install? package name? | 19:01 |
| DirtyMonkey | oh sorry bod_ | 19:01 |
| DirtyMonkey | thing i misunder soon you | 19:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | DirtyMonkey: what are you trying to install? most .deb files you double click them to install | 19:02 |
| DirtyMonkey | its plesk | 19:02 |
| DirtyMonkey | Trying to install a new key... mv: can't stat source | 19:02 |
| DirtyMonkey | /usr/local/psa/tmp/psa.key | 19:02 |
| DirtyMonkey | ERROR while trying to install psa default key | 19:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | isn't that int he repositories? | 19:02 |
| esther | yes im a disaster i have probs in sending photos | 19:02 |
| bokey | DirtyMonkey: to install a debian package manaully, do $ sudo dpkg -i foo.deb; | 19:02 |
| Frogger626 | How should I enter "grub> root (<tab> #grub will complete the line or list your partitions" in Terminal? | 19:03 |
| iositd | esther, what do you mean with have probs in sending photos ? | 19:03 |
| DirtyMonkey | apparently the fix is to install all Plesk RPMs from 'base/' directory simultaneously with the command | 19:03 |
| DirtyMonkey | like: | 19:03 |
| DirtyMonkey | # rpm -Uvh ./* | 19:03 |
| ToddEDM | how do i get Super user privleges | 19:03 |
| Frogger626 | sudo? | 19:03 |
| DirtyMonkey | but that command doesnt seem to work | 19:03 |
| bod_ | !sudo | 19:03 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 19:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | DirtyMonkey: are you using an RPM file? | 19:03 |
| InGunsWeTrust | How do I make a gconf-editor key not mandatory anymore | 19:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | or a .deb file | 19:03 |
| DirtyMonkey | no | 19:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | then what does RPM have to do w/ anything? | 19:03 |
| DirtyMonkey | i need to do the same thing with .deb files | 19:04 |
| DirtyMonkey | im confused | 19:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | DirtyMonkey: give me a link to where you downloaded the .deb file | 19:04 |
| bod_ | !find plesk | 19:04 |
| ubotu | No packages matching 'plesk' could be found | 19:04 |
| DirtyMonkey | how do i install multiple .deb files at once | 19:05 |
| javier | dsefsd | 19:05 |
| malduin | Anyone running Unbuntu through Vmware Fusion on a Mac "leopard" | 19:05 |

| LoLeN | how can i copy and ovewrite any existing files? | 19:05 |
| esther | i try to attach photos to to my messages and they dont arrive | 19:06 |
| LoLeN | with "cp" | 19:06 |
| bod_ | LoLeN, mv | 19:06 |
| jbjohns | Is this a group who happens to use ubuntu, or is some of the people who do releases etc in? | 19:06 |
| iositd | jbjohns, it's a group who offers/needs support for ubuntu | 19:06 |
| bod_ | LoLeN, you cant with cp only with mv sudo mv /some/file /some/file2 | 19:06 |
| bokey | DirtyMonkey: for i in `ls /some/dir/`; do sudo dpkg -i $i; done | 19:06 |
| christopher_ | bod_ u get my last messages? | 19:06 |
| bokey | DirtyMonkey: that's the easiest way | 19:07 |

| christopher_ | bod_ its weeman13221 btw | 19:07 |
| bod_ | oh ok | 19:07 |

| bod_ | christopher_, whats up? | 19:07 |
| DirtyMonkey | I'll try that bokey | 19:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | esther: what are you trying to attatch photos in? | 19:07 |
| marowit | hi, I'm a bit low on disk space and I saw that /usr/src/linux-source* folder takes 2gb of space, so i was wondering whether is it safe to remove it? | 19:07 |

| bokey | DirtyMonkey: okie! =) | 19:07 |

| esther | good question email chats with my brother | 19:08 |
| bod_ | christopher_, but nautilus works yer? have you got compiz-fusion custom effects enabled? | 19:08 |
| jbjohns | I noticed that a lot of ubuntu scripts are written in perl. Is that just coincidence, or is that a preferred language? | 19:08 |
| binarical-app | esther: perhaps the files are too large and are not being correctly uploaded | 19:08 |
| christopher_ | bod_ i do have compiz fuzion custom effects | 19:08 |
| marowit | bokey, thanks | 19:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: are you still using Ubuntu on an exgternal disk | 19:09 |
| bokey | marowit: yw =) | 19:09 |
| orkun | hey there - anyway i can equalize things ANYhow?(without xmms and jackd preferrably). | 19:09 |
| bod_ | christopher_, did you by any chance try to get 4 different wallpapers for each desktop? | 19:09 |
| christopher_ | bod_ when i start up, no toolbars or wallpaper | 19:09 |
| Frogger626 | IndyGunFreak: Boot-disk | 19:09 |

| IndyGunFreak | ok. | 19:10 |

| _CShadowRun | you clearly ignored what i said | 19:23 |
| malduin | I'm running Ubuntu under Vmware Fusion on a Mac. I installed the latest vmware tools. Works fine but I keep losing keyboard control. Trying to type in Ubuntu just results in error tones. Any ideas | 19:23 |
| nomic | anyone please | 19:23 |
| _CShadowRun | I already have a bunch of themes, i have no idea how to install them. | 19:23 |
| amen51 | IndyGunFreak: thanks anyways | 19:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, supergrub could work.., but i was thinking more along the lines of an actual win98 boot disk. | 19:23 |
| soundray | yaselmane: brightness settings work very differently between different laptop models. Look for your specific model on tuxmobil.org and see whether/how others have solved the problem. | 19:23 |
| Frogger626 | indygunfreak: win98? Really? Where can I get one of those? | 19:24 |
| troxor | _CShadowRun: open them with file roller | 19:24 |
| Frogger626 | How do I unpack an .iso on a thumb drive? | 19:24 |
| _CShadowRun | file roller? | 19:24 |
| moregreen | Hey all..im back and synaptic works, but firefox does not work. I get the following error message when running firefox from terminal: libxpt: bad magic header in input file; found 'segarden12Notati', expected 'XPCOM\nTypeLib\r\n\032' | 19:24 |
| moregreen | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 19:24 |
| soundray | malduin: I've got gutsy in fusion -- had all kinds of input issues, but not that one. | 19:24 |
| esther | isorry its not attached,my son sent the photo to me,and i cant re sent | 19:25 |
| soundray | malduin: is there a Mac application that steals keyboard focus? | 19:25 |
| nomic | anyone know where i can go to ask about linux programming i need to ask about framebuffer and things like that | 19:25 |
| moregreen | after apt-get installing opera, where would it happen to go ? | 19:25 |
| tobmaif | botbanner | 19:25 |
| esther | funny you inpertinence | 19:25 |
| malduin | soundray, do you have to click into the virtual and cltrl-command out back to Mac? | 19:25 |
| yaselmane | thanks man | 19:25 |
| troxor | _CShadowRun: I don't know what it's called in the menu, but if you do alt+f2 (or in terminal), and run `file-roller` | 19:25 |
| yaselmane | i will try it | 19:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: the question really, is how are you going to get it to work | 19:25 |
| troxor | _CShadowRun: you will see what exactly the theme applies to | 19:25 |
| Frogger626 | IndyGunFreak: That's my question. | 19:26 |
| _CShadowRun | thats just the archive manager :x | 19:26 |
| _CShadowRun | i've already extracted the theme. | 19:26 |
| soundray | malduin: no, I can click in a Mac application to get out of Fusion | 19:26 |
| gibblets | hey | 19:26 |
| binarical-app | esther: im sorry but i cannot help you with your problem. i assume that the file would be attached to the incomming mail, however if it is not then the problem is on zour sons side and not zours | 19:26 |
| gibblets | how do i log in as root | 19:26 |
| nomic | sudo su gibblets | 19:26 |
| soundray | malduin: did you reboot the guest since you installed vmware-tools? | 19:26 |
| gibblets | running KDE 4.0 unbuntu | 19:26 |
| Frogger626 | IndyGunFreak: I could try to get my thumb-drive install up, but I would have to restart. Try it? | 19:27 |
| troxor | _CShadowRun: yeah, archive manager.. what did it extract to? | 19:27 |
| stefg | _CShadowRun: there's 3 kinds of styles: window decorations (aka metacity themes) , gui-styles (aka gtk2-themes) and icon-sets (aka icon themes) | 19:27 |
| soundray | gibblets: you don't -- use sudo to have root privileges | 19:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | yes you would. | 19:27 |
| michael__ | you cant log into the gui as root ( not that i know of anyway ) | 19:27 |
| troxor | _CShadowRun: they should extract to ~/.themes | 19:27 |
| gibblets | the front menu | 19:27 |
| gibblets | GDM | 19:27 |
| yaselmane | i didn't find my laptop in it | 19:27 |
| malduin | soundray, Ok after installing updated vmware-tools Mine is working that way as well. Its seemless which is good. But after a few minutes I can no longer inpuut keyboard commands to Ubuntu when it has focus. Just get the mac beep tone. | 19:27 |
| _CShadowRun | yea this theme has gtk, metacity, openbox and xfwm folders in it | 19:27 |
| malduin | soundray, yes I have rebooted Ubuntu several times. | 19:27 |
| troxor | gibblets: root login is disabled by default- you can enable it by running `sudo gdmsetup` | 19:27 |
| stefg | !root | 19:27 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:27 |
| gibblets | kk | 19:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | brb | 19:28 |
| malduin | soundray, doesn't fix it but relogging into Leopard seemed to correct it fror a short while | 19:28 |
| \C-g | my swap partition seems to be playing up, how do I check it? Can't use fsck but I want something like that I think | 19:28 |
| yaselmane | anyone ??? | 19:28 |
| gibblets | is there anything else i need to do | 19:28 |
| soundray | malduin: pity -- I don't know what to suggest, except searching the VMware knowledge base and/or asking VMware for help. There's also a #vmware channel | 19:28 |
| yaselmane | ok thanks for nothing !!!! | 19:29 |
| rothchild | when I log out to gdm I get an error (when the login screen loads) saying 'authentication error' it just keeps reappearing when I hit ok, I have set myself to auto login so it works from cold boot but if I want to restart the xserver I can get back in to the system without restartng, I suspect it may be something to do with PAM but I dunno where to start looking | 19:29 |
| kuta | how can I check the version of my ubuntu? | 19:29 |
| malduin | soundray, yeah looking into those options now | 19:29 |
| binarical-app | yaselmane: can you tell me what the model number is on you laptop or its name a specific obvious "type" number | 19:29 |
| dooglus | kuta: lsb_release -a | 19:29 |
| stefg | \C-g: first read 'free -m' and see if swapspace is used. if not yu can simply run sudo swapoff -a and reformat the swap | 19:29 |
| esther | so if i recive a photo, i dont understand why, but you are saying that i can re send, i imagine that it is because my son sends the photos,so i cant re mail???? | 19:29 |
| echelon | i just did a fresh install of ubuntu on an hp pavilian dv8000, but now i just get a blank screen | 19:30 |
| binarical-app | esther: you may have to reattach the photo | 19:30 |
| cmj-php | anyone know why i get a blank screen on the install cd? | 19:30 |
| echelon | there is no indicator that it's loading or anything | 19:30 |
| \C-g | stefg: it's not in use, how do I reformat it? | 19:30 |
| nomic | cmj-php you can choose a non graphical install | 19:30 |
| soundray | esther: in your son's email, right-click the attachment and save it to the Desktop. From there, you can attach it to any new email that you send. | 19:30 |
| stefg | \C-g: sudo swapoff -a for starters, that turns off the swap | 19:31 |
| soundray | cmj-php: your graphics card isn't supported so well. Try the Safe Graphics boot option. | 19:31 |
| smith | hello | 19:31 |
| cmj-php | soundray: thanks will try that | 19:31 |
| smith | general question | 19:31 |
| nomic | yes cmj-php it is a safe graphics text mode | 19:31 |
| nomic | install | 19:31 |
| echelon | soundray, what about me? | 19:31 |
| moregreen | ! | 19:32 |
| moregreen | !ask | 19:32 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 19:32 |
| stefg | \C-g: the run sudo fdisk -l and find out the device name for your swap partition | 19:32 |
| soundray | echelon: what about you? | 19:32 |
| cmj-php | nomic: will that mean i need the alternate install cd? | 19:32 |
| moregreen | ooh i got it :) | 19:32 |
| nomic | anyone know where to go to ask about linux programming issues (chat channel) | 19:32 |
| moregreen | #programming | 19:32 |
| \C-g | stefg: device is /dev/sda2 | 19:32 |
| moregreen | #code | 19:32 |
| weeman | can anyone help, my items in my desktop folder dont show up in my desktop, and when i right click on my desktop i dont get a little menu like normal, and when i first start up i dont have a wallpaper or anything untill i go into the appearance window | 19:32 |
| moregreen | maybe, i am not sure | 19:32 |
| nomic | no cmj-php on your ubuntu install cd there is an option to install with safe graphics mode | 19:32 |
| malduin | soundray, Wow. Just found the issue the vmware forums. Get this the Last.fm client was holding focus or something and preventing the keyboard from working within my Ubuntu virtual. I closed Last.fm and bingo keyboard input working again. thats crazy! | 19:32 |
| troxor | echelon: where does it go blank? | 19:32 |
| nomic | thankyou moregreen | 19:32 |
| echelon | troxor, when it boots | 19:32 |
| smith | im in a multimedia design major, we use mac os x but I cant afford a mac, should I use ubuntu 64-bit? | 19:32 |
| stefg | \C-g: mkswap /dev/sda2 | 19:33 |
| soundray | cmj-php: the alternate (text-mode) install CD is your next option, but try Safe Graphics first | 19:33 |
| echelon | troxor, i don't see anything until i reach GDM | 19:33 |
| stefg | \C-g: sudo mkswap /dev/sda2 , rather | 19:33 |
| cmj-php | thanks... will try that now then | 19:33 |
| moregreen | nomic - just a guess | 19:33 |
| soundray | !yay | malduin | 19:33 |
| ubotu | malduin: Glad you made it! :-) | 19:33 |
| rothchild | http://pastebin.ca/972764 my /pam.d/gdm | 19:33 |
| esther | ok and thanks from now on i ll save in destop i hope it works | 19:33 |
| malduin | thats a strange one | 19:33 |
| troxor | echelon: do you have startup-manager? | 19:34 |
| echelon | troxor, startup-manager? | 19:34 |
| troxor | echelon: you can use that to disable the splash altogether | 19:34 |
| malduin | was going crazy trying to figure out how I broke it | 19:34 |
| malduin | heh | 19:34 |
| smith | how good is ubuntu 64-bit for multimedia apps, I use photoshop, terragen, 3ds max, flash cs3, etc. | 19:34 |
| echelon | i have to disable the splash? | 19:34 |
| Triona | Hmm. hotswap: opening IDE device failed: No such file or directory | 19:34 |
| \C-g | stefg: "/dev/sda2: No such file or directory" It had loads of trouble when booting, showed loads of errors related to /dev/sda2 | 19:34 |
| troxor | echelon: er, startupmanager * | 19:34 |
| moregreen | Hey all... is KUBUNTU less stable than UBUNTU? | 19:34 |
| \C-g | stefg: it does show up in fdisk though | 19:34 |
| echelon | so the splash screen is the problem? | 19:34 |
| moregreen | :) | 19:34 |
| troxor | echelon: you don't have to, but you can try it to get at least some output | 19:35 |
| echelon | oh ok | 19:35 |
| troxor | echelon: sounds like usplash is at fault, yes... | 19:35 |
| smith | can I use parallels with ubuntu 64-bit and virtualize vista 64-bit? | 19:35 |
| stefg | \C-g: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and dmesg (see /topic for pastebin url) | 19:35 |
| echelon | well, i'm still doing system updates.. let's see if it works | 19:35 |
| binarical-app | moregreen: kde 4 is a little new, otherwise gnome and kde are a preferance issue | 19:35 |
| rothchild | moregreen dunno about stability but it's not as 'polished' | 19:35 |
| moregreen | thanks binarical-app | 19:35 |
| weeman | can anyone help, my items in my desktop folder dont show up in my desktop, and when i right click on my desktop i dont get a little menu like normal, and when i first start up i dont have a wallpaper or anything untill i go into the appearance window | 19:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | moregreen: do you prefer gold or crap?..lol | 19:35 |
| moregreen | I mean, i installed kubuntu... and ever since, its been freezing all the time | 19:36 |
| moregreen | i prefer SILVER, but yeah | 19:36 |
| troxor | smith: if your real processor is 64bit, and parallels runs on ubuntu, yes- you can try virtualbox if it doesn't | 19:36 |
| smith | ok thanks | 19:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | moregreen: well, KDE pretty much sucks in my opinion.. i've never had a good experience w/ it.. YMMV | 19:36 |
| smith | i have q9450 | 19:36 |
| rothchild | you need to put more effort into getting the default settings working nice imo kde blows gnome's bluetooth support out or the water | 19:36 |
| moregreen | i like some K programs though. | 19:36 |
| moregreen | Are they fully functional in Gnome? | 19:37 |
| smith | btw, is there a memory ram limit in parallels? | 19:37 |
| joh1 | my m onitor is not in the list of monitors... how can i set it up ? | 19:37 |
| binarical-app | moregreen: if you got kde ubuntu and its real new then its still a beta release of kubuntu | 19:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | moregreen: well, you can install them on Gnome... | 19:37 |
| smith | I have 8gbs of ram | 19:37 |
| weeman | can anyone help, my items in my desktop folder dont show up in my desktop, and when i right click on my desktop i dont get a little menu like normal, and when i first start up i dont have a wallpaper or anything untill i go into the appearance window | 19:37 |
| echelon | troxor, i don't see startupmanager? | 19:37 |
| Mighty_Penguin | anyone know why openoffice installs on the minimal installation? that just makes no sense... | 19:37 |
| \C-g | stefg: sure, just a sec | 19:37 |
| moregreen | So, when you install lets say Ktorrent on gnome, it will run fine (all the buttons entact) | 19:37 |
| moregreen | ?? | 19:37 |
| ouellettesr | anyone know how to get xenarc touchscreen working with evtouch drivers? | 19:37 |
| Mighty_Penguin | moregreen: yes | 19:37 |
| troxor | echelon: it might be in the multiverse/universe repos | 19:38 |
| echelon | oh | 19:38 |
| binarical-app | moregreen: im not sure if i correctly understand your predicament | 19:38 |
| noodles12 | anyone here tried using andlinux? | 19:38 |
| Mighty_Penguin | moregreen: you can install any kde app on gnome, should work just fine | 19:38 |
| \C-g | ok, pasted to paste.ubunut-nl.org/62255 | 19:38 |
| echelon | i'll wait for it to finish updates | 19:38 |
| echelon | thanks | 19:38 |
| \C-g | sorry, i man http://paste,ubuntu-nl.org/62255 | 19:38 |
| style23 | when I minimiize a program. its not showing in my taskbar? | 19:39 |
| rothchild | when I log out to gdm I get an error (when the login screen loads) saying 'authentication error' it just keeps reappearing when I hit ok, I have set myself to auto login so it works from cold boot but if I want to restart the xserver I can get back in to the system without restartng, I suspect it may be something to do with PAM but I dunno where to start looking | 19:39 |
| rothchild | can anyone help with this? | 19:39 |
| moregreen | well, I installed ubuntu, then kubuntu, and now its all freezing all the time | 19:39 |
| soundray | noodles12: have you got an Ubuntu support question? For everything else, please use another channel (e.g. #ubuntu-offtopic) | 19:39 |
| stefg | \C-g: k, lemme look | 19:39 |
| \C-g | thanks stefg | 19:39 |
| weeman | can anyone help, my items in my desktop folder dont show up in my desktop, and when i right click on my desktop i dont get a little menu like normal, and when i first start up i dont have a wallpaper or anything untill i go into the appearance window | 19:40 |
| moregreen | i dont happen to have the kubuntu cd (is there one?) and im about to reinstall UBUNTU, but like some kprogs | 19:40 |
| binarical-app | moregreen: can you tell us what version you got , 8.04 or hardy heron , or was it 7.10 gutsy gibbon | 19:40 |
| Ashfire908 | Could someone recommend a GUI (or at least a GUI frontend to something else) for converting video/audio files to different formats? | 19:40 |
| moregreen | 7.1 gutsy | 19:40 |
| troxor | weeman: run `nautilus` | 19:40 |
| soundray | style23: what you call task bar is probably the bottom gnome panel. If you want to see a window list there, right-click it, choose Add to Panel and add the Window List applet | 19:40 |
| SuperQ | moregreen: it's 7.10, the number is a date | 19:41 |
| stefg | \C-g: hmm, looks like a dying hd, or DMA trouble. tell about your hardware | 19:41 |
| cmjphp | ive tried running the standard install cd in safe graphics mode but still a blank screen... will i need the alternate install cd? | 19:41 |
| joh1 | how do i get a driver file for my monitor ? can't i just put in the settings on my own using some type of gui tool with ubuntu ? | 19:41 |
| moregreen | oh ok :) | 19:41 |
| moregreen | Thank you superQ | 19:41 |
| soundray | cmjphp: probably | 19:41 |
| SuperQ | no prob :) | 19:41 |
| \C-g | stefg: it's a laptop hard drive, I guess now is the time to replace it :p | 19:41 |
| soundray | cmjphp: what graphics card do you have? | 19:41 |
| cmjphp | ah right... thought i might have to | 19:41 |
| r3m0t | anybody here running with / on LVM, could they put theiiiiiiiiiiiiir fstab into a pastebin | 19:41 |
| cmjphp | soundray: nvidia 8400gs | 19:42 |
| rothchild | Ashfire908: something like this maybe? http://fuzzymonkey.net/software/gtranscode/ | 19:42 |
| weeman | troxor already reinstalled it and all so what do u mean by run it | 19:42 |
| \C-g | stefg; any tips on how to clone the drive? | 19:42 |
| stefg | \C-g: i agree. take a backup asap | 19:42 |
| soundray | cmjphp: ah, that's fairly recent, isn't it? | 19:42 |
| stefg | !backup | \C-g | 19:42 |
| ubotu | \C-g: There are many ways to back your system up.

| weeman | troxor, someone was helping me earlier but left, so i already reinstalled nautilus, and restarted x | 19:42 |
| esther | i have tryed but i cant send the photos | 19:42 |
| weeman | but i still have those probs | 19:42 |
| cmjphp | soundray: its pretty new, as far as i know there are still problems with the drivers for most linux distros with my card | 19:43 |
| troxor | weeman: try alt+f2 to run a program, then put in nautilus | 19:43 |
| soundray | esther: perhaps they are too big. Some providers limit the size of outgoing emails. | 19:43 |
| stefg | \C-g: i'd use a Live CD and use partimage to image sda1 to a backup file | 19:43 |

| stefg | \C-g: for diagnosis install smartmontools and look at the smart status of the disk | 19:44 |
| moregreen | Whats the command for mounting a usb external drive ( that once worked) | 19:44 |
| stefg | !info smartmontools | 19:44 |
| soundray | cmjphp: if you're courageous, have a go with hardy, the beta release of Ubuntu. More info in #ubuntu+1 (read the topic) | 19:44 |
| ubotu | smartmontools (source: smartmontools): control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.37-5ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 280 kB, installed size 684 kB | 19:44 |

| troxor | r3m0t: / on lvm is annoying- you might consider splitting up LVs for /var/, /usr, etc instead | 19:45 |
| \C-g | stefg: so if I image to a external usb drive with partimage then stick another drive in the computer I should be able to write the image to that drive then boot it again, right? | 19:45 |
| n-iCe | how much ram does ubuntu requires? | 19:45 |
| cmjphp | soundray: im fairly new to linux installations so i will have to think about that | 19:45 |
| binarical-app | moregreen: depending on what its called an exsample would be: sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda | 19:45 |
| vol | Hi, I'm having some trouble with the 8.04 beta. I've managed to install, after using the fakeraid walkthrough. I ran synaptic update, and then did a "partial upgrade". Unfortunately, it was not successful, and the errors visible here ( http://rafb.net/p/FdsY5e76.html ) keep reoccuring whenever I try and run synaptic for anything else. | 19:45 |
| owen1 | where can i find the glut package? | 19:46 |
| soundray | n-iCe: 256MB is tight, 512 is fine | 19:46 |
| stefg | \C-g: you need to inject the grub boot loader to the MBR of that disk and watch out for correct UUID .. | 19:46 |
| moregreen | binarical-app: and sda1, sda2, etc? | 19:46 |
| stefg | !uuid | \C-g | 19:46 |
| ubotu | \C-g: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 19:46 |
| weeman | troxor, so more detail? | 19:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | !hardy | vol | 19:46 |
| ubotu | vol: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 19:46 |
| troxor | weeman: how so? | 19:47 |
| soundray | owen1: there are several related packages. See 'apt-cache search libglut' | 19:47 |
| vol | Alright, thank you. | 19:47 |
| troxor | weeman: open a terminal, run nautilus | 19:47 |
| troxor | weeman: see what it says | 19:47 |
| binarical-app | moregreen: sd A: defines the disk or device : 1 defines the partition to mount. it could also be sdb 1 or sdc 1 or 2 or 3 | 19:47 |
| owen1 | soundray: thanks | 19:47 |
| esther | i dont think so ,when i try to move the phots they open on my front page | 19:47 |
| moregreen | oh yeah ok! thank you | 19:47 |
| gabby | Hey everyone I'm trying to get this to work: http://www.kfi640.com/cc-common/ondemand/faq/ I installed the MPlayer Plugin for Mozilla I found in the add/remove programs but it doesn't work. Anyone have a clue about how I can make it play? | 19:47 |
| stefg | \C-g: so you are only imaging the partition, not the complete disk. so MBR needs attention and you have to set up the swap manually. it will get a different UUID, so you have to adjust your /etc/fstab accordingly | 19:48 |

| SubOne | My laptop clock on the front says 7:24am right now but the clock in Ubuntu says 1:24pm (correct time). hwclock says the correct time and timezone and so does the system time. Any ideas? | 20:22 |
| coachz | LOB|LoBo, it says you can now run vmware tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an x server session | 20:23 |
| kippy | zcat[1], ya may be afterwards but still have to get it to work just for the Love of using Linux :) | 20:23 |
| Serway | geirha, i havent even touched that | 20:23 |
| zcat[1] | Serway: sounds like you changed your hostname manually and forgot to change the loopback entry in /etc/hosts | 20:23 |
| Serway | zcat[1[, thats what i did | 20:23 |
| Serway | lol | 20:23 |
| coachz | so do i need to run /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox everytime or will it do it for me | 20:23 |
| coachz | ahh it says vmware tools installed successfully | 20:24 |
| coachz | so i guess all is well | 20:24 |
| ricanelite | my LCD HDTV Phillps looks like the screen is overscaled | 20:24 |

| LOB|LoBo | coachz: I don't have a lot of experience with vmware with ubuntu, only tried it briefly but the vmware tools in opensuse let you drag and drop files off and onto your vm instance and dynamicly change the vms resolution by increasing the window size, it was really neat | 20:25 |
| ahave | what system types can eb read by linux and windows? is it ntfs? or fat32 | 20:25 |
| Serway | zcat[1], fixed it, all i needed to do was change something in my administration>network>hosts tab | 20:25 |

| linnux | grigora i need to go sorry i cant help out more i dont know what you're asking for then | 21:09 |
| DIL | !fsck | 21:09 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:09 |

| robcalewae | @luke here first press alt+f2 in the new window type this "gnome-terminal" | 21:29 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: We have a fast cycle in order to keep up with constant development in the OSS world. | 21:29 |
| JunK-Y | ensi: cause things are changing rapidly? | 21:29 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: We dont' have any managers or marketers or strategests telling us what to develop and when, so everybody develops at their own speed and Ubuntu just packages it all up and delivers it to users. | 21:29 |
| ridge-meister | are there any new emulators in development? I hate going through the game aisle in wal-mart, knowing that i can't play any of those games because i don't use windows | 21:29 |
| robcalewae | @luke you will then see a window that is for the most part empty type in the fallowing, "sudo apt-get install wine" | 21:30 |
| ridge-meister | i mean "are there any new Windows emulators" :D | 21:30 |
| luke | isn't it like giving the system commands to do stuff | 21:30 |
| ensi | tbh, i dont get it why xorg and gnome folks are doing that too | 21:30 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: However, we have LTS releases for people who want a lower cycle, and there are other distros which focus primarily on stability and will give you a more dedicated slow-cycle experience. | 21:30 |
| esteth | ridge-meister: Check out wine. wine will let you run loads of windows games, but it's not an emulator | 21:30 |
| DIL | ahave, why use ntfs, is data on them | 21:30 |
| binarical-app | luke here first press alt+f2 in the new window type this "gnome-terminal" | 21:30 |

| style23 | How do I access wallpapoz? | 21:30 |
| ahave | DIL, but there is currentyl no data on them | 21:30 |
| robcalewae | if you want an windows emulator check out parallels | 21:30 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: What do you want? A stable system with old software, or an unstable system with new software? The instability is because of new software. | 21:31 |
| esteth | paralells isn't an emulator, last time i checked, it was a virtualizer | 21:31 |
| robcalewae | @luke, is a bunch of text scrolling in that window (for future ref. its called the terminal) | 21:31 |

| ju23 | nitor is physically position to the left of the laptop how can i change so that mouse goes to left of laptop screen and goes to the external monitor here is my xorg: http://rafb.net/p/WKs8CW58.html ?? | 21:31 |
| ensi | why cant the system be stable with new software? this is how windows works.' | 21:31 |
| DIL | ahave, as an alternative linux and windows will see fat32 | 21:31 |
| ensi | its not like every update to XP installed new version of shell for instance | 21:31 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: That's not how Windows works. Windows just lets third-party software update itself, so your system is as unstable as whatever apps you install want it to be. | 21:32 |
| ensi | no, its been stable and unchanged for since the first release. | 21:32 |
| luke | no it's just got luke@luke:~$ and then a box | 21:32 |
| ahave | DIL, what about the files size constraints of fat32? | 21:32 |
| ekevn | how reliable is writing to ntfs from ubuntu? | 21:32 |
| Ashfire908 | luke: you can install wine through the synaptic package manager. In the menu: System -> Administration -> Synaptice Package Manager | 21:32 |
| ensi | RyanPrior: no, just the opposite | 21:32 |
| ensi | RyanPrior: your system is stable but applications are what they are | 21:32 |
| JunK-Y | ekevn: check for ntfs-3g | 21:32 |
| binarical-app | luke: okay thats the terminal, good job. now type: sudo -s | 21:32 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: What is your "system", if not the applications? | 21:32 |
| samuel | stefano_: try df -h | 21:33 |
| ensi | RyanPrior: the os and the shell (so for example linux kernel+base+gnome) | 21:33 |
| ensi | but the gnome folks seem eager to be in a beta cycle all the time as well :) | 21:33 |
| RyanPrior | ensi: I'm happy to try to answer the question you've got, but since it's off-topic for the software support channel, I'd like to take it into #ubuntu-offtopic - is that okay? | 21:33 |
| ensi | RyanPrior: oh yeah sure | 21:33 |
| binarical-app | you are luke and luke is your user, we want this to say root@luke:~# | 21:33 |
| Ashfire908 | luke, you can also use Applications -> Add/Remove... which has a much simpler interface then synaptic. | 21:33 |

| robcalewae | @ashfire908 yeah but he needs to add the wine reps. and that doesn't come on default i don't think | 21:34 |

| c0ldfusion | sorry brainfart | 21:34 |
| mikedoty | Hey guys. I need to install the libc headers to install this driver of mine | 21:34 |
| mikedoty | What package do I install for that? | 21:34 |
| emma | be back later | 21:34 |
| luke | ok so it now sais root@luke | 21:34 |
| esteth | mikedoty: probably libc6-dev or something similar | 21:34 |
| mikedoty | I apt-cache searched on libc but it's a ton of results | 21:34 |
| Ashfire908 | robcalewae, add what? i never had to add the wine repos. | 21:34 |
| luke | what do i do now | 21:34 |
| Starnestommy | mikedoty: is build-essential installed? | 21:34 |
| NeOnStyle | HI | 21:35 |
| ahave | DIL, if i had to guess it did not format. bc, the process only took 30secs for 1.4TB of storage | 21:35 |
| Ashfire908 | *add any wine | 21:35 |
| mikedoty | Not sure on build-essential. I'll try that and libc6-dev | 21:35 |
| mikedoty | Thanks guys | 21:35 |

| Ashfire908 | luke: type "wine" into the search bar | 21:39 |

| zcat[1] | ahave: 'partitioning' and 'formatting' are two different things.. it takes no time to write a new partiton table.. and it should only take a few seconds or a minute to 'format' -- you use mke2fs for that | 21:39 |

Any ideas what could be wrong? | 21:40 |
| ahave | zcat[1], i understand that. i used gparted instead of mke2fs to partition and format to NTFS. but afterward i can not see the drive in my /media dir | 21:40 |
| style23 | what folder is your wallpaper found in? | 21:40 |
| Odd-rationale | style23: /usr/share/backgrounds ? | 21:41 |

| binarical-app | style23: right click on the desktop and -change desktop back ground | 21:41 |

| Odd-rationale | zcat[1]: Yes it can reformat drives and partitons | 21:41 |
| drc_z | Question: I plugged in my second HDD, where is it listed in the file system so I can access files from it? | 21:41 |
| Ashfire908 | luke, you have to click it. | 21:41 |

| vadillo | the name is AutoFsck | 22:50 |
| vadillo | devretman | 22:50 |
| zel | samuel: if it doesn't work, just change your xorg.conf back to vesa and restart GDM again | 22:50 |
| Devrethman | coo | 22:50 |
| zel | samuel: and we will figure it out from there | 22:50 |
| samuel | zel: OK. | 22:50 |
| samuel | zel: thanks again | 22:50 |
| zel | samuel: any time | 22:51 |
| Devrethman | vadillo: no such thing in synaptic | 22:51 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Does anyone know what dependencies Airpwn1.3 needs? | 22:51 |
| vadillo | nooo | 22:51 |
| zagabog | deniz__, you have to install the compiz fusion desktop stuff from the install remove software tool, its not there by default | 22:51 |
| vadillo | Devrethman: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck | 22:51 |
| f0rmat | hello can anyone tell me how to make it so other accounts on my computer can't just cd to my home folder | 22:52 |
| deniz__ | zagabog, is it possible to have all desktop effects off and be able to switch workspaces the normal way and still be able to do the cube way if u want? | 22:52 |
| c0ldfusion | !chmod | f0rmat | 22:53 |
| ubotu | f0rmat: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 22:53 |
| deniz__ | zagabog, all efects but cube off | 22:53 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: man chmod | 22:53 |
| f0rmat | i used sudo chmod 0777 /home/f0rmat/* already | 22:53 |
| zagabog | deniz__, the configuration tool is pretty comrehensive lots of things to turn on and off so it may be possible | 22:53 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: well that's the problem. You gave *other* users access | 22:53 |
| f0rmat | damn someone told me to do it | 22:54 |
| f0rmat | :( | 22:54 |
| marcus_977 | hi does anyone know of a guide to install ubuntu on a usb drive from within windows? i did it before a long time ago with 6.06 but i cant find one now | 22:54 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: the last bit is set to 7. try 770 instead | 22:54 |
| c0ldfusion | or 740 | 22:54 |
| c0ldfusion | or 760 | 22:54 |
| c0ldfusion | man chmod; that should help | 22:54 |
| zel | or 700 | 22:54 |
| zel | because groups aren't ever necessary :) | 22:54 |
| c0ldfusion | heh | 22:54 |
| Devrethman | vadillo: thanks | 22:55 |
| bobc | I want to replace my current hard drive with a new hard drive. With them both installed, can I just copy all of the files from the old drive to the new, put the UUID in the fstab with the appropriate device and make any necessary changes to grub, then reboot without the old drive? Will that work? | 22:55 |
| Devrethman | Is it possible to have different backgrounds on different sides of the compiz cube? | 22:57 |
| fixUp | Anyone had any luck getting a dual Nvidia 8800GT setup working with ubuntu ? | 22:57 |
| vadillo | Devrethman take a look on the ccsm i think is posible | 22:57 |
| Devrethman | I've got an 8800GTX, worked out of the box | 22:58 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: also I just notice... go to your /home directory and do chmod -R 700 [directory] | 22:58 |
| Devrethman | a friend of mine's got 2 8800GT's, and I think his works | 22:58 |
| Devrethman | I'm not sure how he did it though :| | 22:58 |
| samuel | zel: Hi again. I had to change it back to "vesa" It seemed like it was hanging. | 22:58 |
| exparta | hola alguien ha instalado citrix | 22:59 |
| zagabog | Devrethman, you can definitely change the top and bottom images | 22:59 |
| Devrethman | Yeah, I've got that | 22:59 |
| marcus_977 | can anyone help me? | 22:59 |
| Devrethman | marcus: what's the problem? | 22:59 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | What's the problem? | 22:59 |
| zel | samuel: that sucks... did you have to reboot? | 22:59 |
| fixUp | yeah, I tried that I've got a TFT widescreen too which is garbling the display :( | 23:00 |
| zagabog | marcus_977, not less you tell what the problem/question is | 23:00 |
| samuel | zel: no I just opened another terminal. | 23:00 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | What dependencies does Airpwn 1.3 need? | 23:00 |
| omar | Is there a way I can log on as root outside the terminal? | 23:01 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | You don't want to. | 23:01 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Bad practice, usually. | 23:02 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: why do you need to do that | 23:02 |
| e345 | i'm getting a gdm error when trying to bot ubuntu, can anyone assist? | 23:02 |
| Svenstaro | e345, what errorß | 23:02 |
| zel | samuel: ah, ok... well if the module is loaded and it's set in your xorg.conf but it still isn't working, I'm out of suggrestions... the only other thing I can think of is that you could try reinstalling the driver | 23:02 |
| Devrethman | Okay, I just installed CCSM, and now I can't change desktops | 23:02 |
| rothchild | has anyone got any tips for getting evolution to work nicely with google calendar? | 23:02 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Use evo calendar | 23:02 |
| samuel | zel: well I can try to do that. | 23:03 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Because there are some items in my trash applet on the task bar that need permission to be completely removed. | 23:03 |
| e345 | svens: it's saying bad argument in line 47 of failsafeXServer | 23:03 |
| samuel | zel: thanks again. | 23:03 |
| vadillo | Devrethman | 23:03 |
| Starnestommy | omar: in a terminal, cd ~/.Trash then sudo rm filename | 23:03 |
| vadillo | in the Enable desktop cube | 23:03 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: your best option is to run the terminal and delete the files with sudo | 23:03 |
| c0ldfusion | there ya go | 23:03 |
| elTigre | hey | 23:04 |
| LoneWolf | Howdy | 23:04 |
| elTigre | I have a weird performance problem | 23:04 |
| zel | samuel: sorry I couldn't help more, it's actually been a while since I've had to poke around with fglrx myself | 23:04 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: I tried that, but they don't appear there. | 23:04 |
| Devrethman | vadillo: I changed it from wall mode to cube, and the cube doesn't move :| | 23:04 |
| elTigre | my harddisk is under heavy load but I can't identify the process responsible for that | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | e345, please write my full name in the beginning of your message, i almost didnt get your last one | 23:04 |
| vadillo | how many worspaces you have? | 23:04 |
| elTigre | and even though I have 2Gig Ram and 2x2GHZ processers... | 23:04 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: did you do what Starnestommy said | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | e345 anyway, looks like somethings very screwy, what was done before it broke? | 23:04 |
| HangukMiguk | Can anyone tell me what's wrong with Rhythmbox not playing my AAC files when it previously did? I am getting the following error: (rhythmbox-metadata:511): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfaad.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfaad.so: undefined symbol: faacDecDecode and have reinstalled everything related to gstreamer, faad, faac, done gst-inspect, and reinstalled rhythmbox twice, with no luck | 23:04 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: If I open the the trash, I find that their location is at trash:/// | 23:05 |
| deniz__ | the rm commands delete everything permanently? | 23:05 |
| tha_toadman | anyone here using 'ubuntu server' | 23:05 |
| elTigre | even gaim behaves as if it is too computation-intensive -.- | 23:05 |
| Starnestommy | deniz__: yes | 23:05 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Yes many times | 23:05 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: you need to open a terminal | 23:05 |
| samuel | zel: it's cool man. I think this card is kind of a pain in the butt. I have seen a lot of threads on it and not many resolutions. | 23:05 |
| Devrethman | is there a separate plugin to allow cube rotation or something? | 23:05 |
| b4l74z4r | will font adjustments made in ubuntu affect apps that is run in wine such as opera for example? | 23:05 |
| Melch | anyone one know why after a period of time I lose the ability to sleep? | 23:05 |
| Devrethman | oh wait, there it is | 23:05 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: I did open a terminal | 23:05 |
| * Devrethman is dumb | 23:05 | |
| c0ldfusion | omar: and then what did you type | 23:05 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Hanguk: reinstall AAC plugin | 23:05 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Hanguk: sudo apt-get reinstall <name of plugin> | 23:06 |
| deniz__ | Starnestommy, like is there a way to make it only erase 1 specific hd and not all of them? | 23:06 |
| zel | samuel: every recent ATI card I've seen uses fglrx, but I haven't been keeping up with it, maybe yours uses a different driver... If I stumble across the answer and you're still here, I'll let you know. Otherwise, good luck | 23:06 |
| HangukMiguk | i_r_uleenucks_man: um........reread. i did | 23:06 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Hanguk: Oh, my bad. | 23:06 |
| tha_toadman | is it wise to 'renice' apache2 if i'm running a web server??? | 23:06 |
| HangukMiguk | libfaad, gstreamer-plugins-* | 23:06 |
| Starnestommy | deniz__: the rm command deletes specific files, not all files. You use it as rm filename | 23:06 |
| omar | Then, I typed "cd /home/omar/.Trash", then " ls " and found nothing. | 23:06 |
| samuel | zel: thanks. | 23:06 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | omar: Unless you use the 'forsaken command'. | 23:07 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: what if you did ls -la instead | 23:07 |
| EugZol_ | hi all | 23:07 |
| deniz__ | Starnestommy, ya buts its not a regular trash delete, right? like its like system mechanic for windows kind of delete, right? | 23:07 |
| EugZol_ | I want to know what partitions, what drives and what FS-es I have | 23:08 |
| EugZol_ | How do I do this? | 23:08 |
| Starnestommy | deniz__: essentially, yes | 23:08 |
| EugZol_ | Is there a couple of commands to know all that stuff? | 23:08 |
| rothchild | i_r_leenucks_man: what is evo calendar? | 23:08 |
| vadillo | Try gparted EugZol_ | 23:08 |
| deniz__ | Starnestommy, :) i dont need to do this at this exact moment but i will need it eventually thats y i was askin | 23:09 |
| e345 | Svenstaro: did you get my private msg? | 23:09 |
| EugZol_ | vadillo: thanks, that helped | 23:09 |
| Svenstaro | e345, neg | 23:09 |
| vadillo | your welcome EugZol_ | 23:10 |
| f0rmat | now the folder failz | 23:10 |
| f0rmat | :( | 23:10 |
| f0rmat | permissions are against root now | 23:10 |
| f0rmat | i can't change anything | 23:10 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: With "ls -la" I get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62260/ | 23:10 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: are you sure you're in the right user directory? | 23:11 |
| Starnestommy | omar: there's nothing in there. the . is a link to the current directory and the .. is a link to the one above | 23:11 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: what did you do | 23:11 |
| CroX | I just can't get my TV-out to work.. It's a s-video cable and during the load screen of Ubuntu it's great with colors and all but once the login screen pops up, that goes away. Could someone please help me? | 23:11 |
| f0rmat | 770 | 23:11 |
| e345 | Svenstaro: i changes my default monitor to display 2 in Screen and Graphics Prefernces trying to get my projector to display | 23:11 |
| f0rmat | c0ldfusion, chmod 770 | 23:11 |
| ubuntuisloved | im using colinux and was hoping someone could help with TAP network interface im unsure why i cant get it so i can use putty in windows to connect to my linux fedora distro running? | 23:11 |
| omar | Starnestommy: I do know that already man. :) | 23:11 |
| Svenstaro | e345, boot in safe mode and copy the backup xorg.conf back, you know how to do that? | 23:11 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: No, actually I'm not sure. | 23:12 |
| elTigre | I have a constant "waiting" rate in top of over 50%, more like 90% most of the time.... | 23:12 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: check it brotha | 23:12 |
| vadillo | i have to go fellows see you later | 23:12 |
| elTigre | how can I find out why? | 23:12 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: which directory were you in and what exactly did you type | 23:12 |
| e345 | Svenstaro: i think so, where do i find the xorg.conf | 23:13 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: When I open the trash applet where the files are, I find the following location: " trash:/// " | 23:13 |
| Ademan | gnome-system-monitor is reporting 2 gb free, yet only 13mb available, is there any way to get that space back? (like defragging?) | 23:13 |
| Teo- | hi! i have patched the bcm43xx driver for injection using the ubuntu guide on the ubuntu server with no errors but when i try to use sudo aireplay -9 eth1 the injection is not working:( some help please? | 23:13 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: yeh I know but which user account do you log into the gui with? | 23:13 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Check what? | 23:13 |
| Svenstaro | e345, its in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, theres a couple of auto back-uped xorg.conf's in there too | 23:13 |
| f0rmat | sudo chmod 770 /home/f0rmat/* | 23:13 |
| f0rmat | c0ldfusion, sudo chmod 770 /home/f0rmat/* | 23:14 |
| e345 | Svenstaro, and where do i copy it to? | 23:14 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: go to /home and sudo chmod 770 f0rmat | 23:14 |
| munichlinux | hi all i upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and the after upgrade the X server failed | 23:14 |
| munichlinux | FreeFonthPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc + ubuntu update | 23:14 |
| Svenstaro | e345, search for the most recent backup-file and copy with to your current, non-working xorg.conf | 23:14 |
| Chousuke | c0ldfusion: bad! | 23:14 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Oh, it my account, I'm the only one who uses the computer. :) | 23:14 |
| munichlinux | so what is the patch ? | 23:14 |
| Svenstaro | e345 as in: cp xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf | 23:14 |
| Devrethman | I can't find in CCSM how to make different desktops have different wallpapers. I've added different things in the cube "backgrounds" field, and nothing happens | 23:14 |
| c0ldfusion | Chousuke: what's wrong | 23:15 |
| Juhaz | Ademan, 13mb available as shown by what? | 23:15 |
| e345 | Svenstaro, thanks, will give it a shot | 23:15 |
| Chousuke | c0ldfusion: 770 :P | 23:15 |
| Ademan | Juhaz: the gnome-system-monitor | 23:15 |
| Chousuke | though it depends on what you want | 23:15 |
| c0ldfusion | Chousuke: he wants to make his home dir inaccessible to other users | 23:15 |
| michael__ | hey anyone know if you can get guildwars to work on ubuntu without wine? | 23:15 |
| b4l74z4r | is there a configuration utility for the nvidia display driver that i can invoke somehow? | 23:15 |
| Chousuke | c0ldfusion: 750 is better in that case. | 23:15 |
| Ademan | Devrethman: i think that's actually up to the "root" window of each desktop, which afaik is controlled by nautilus in GNOME | 23:15 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | hmm... My titlebars just disappeared on everything | 23:16 |
| c0ldfusion | Chousuke: I hear ya but I don't think he cares about groups; I advised earlier to man chmod | 23:16 |
| Chousuke | c0ldfusion: never give any more permissions than necessary :) | 23:16 |
| ichbinesderelch | i_r_leenucks_man: using compiz? | 23:16 |
| Devrethman | so it would be a gnome thing? | 23:16 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Yep, compiz-fuzion | 23:16 |
| c0ldfusion | Chousuke: word | 23:16 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: You give up already? :D | 23:16 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Second time this has happened to me, possibly a glitch in a firefox page. | 23:16 |
| Devrethman | It's not possible in the default desktop appearance config thing | 23:16 |
| Juhaz | Ademan, ah, wait, this was a file system? say, somewhere around 40gb total size? | 23:16 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | What do I do? | 23:16 |
| hellonull | i_r_leenucks_man: alt+F2, compiz --replace | 23:16 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: so you only have one user (omar)? | 23:16 |
| ichbinesderelch | i_r_leenucks_man: in system - visual effekts or something like that you can change the amoutn of effects, set it to none and back to whatever you like and bars will be there again | 23:17 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Yes, and it's mine. | 23:17 |
| eflagz | hi, anyone using ubuntu with wmii? | 23:17 |
| Ademan | Juhaz: almost exactly that, yeah | 23:17 |
| Ademan | eflagz: i HAVE used it | 23:17 |
| eflagz | wmii is a tiling window manager, close to ion | 23:17 |
| f0rmat | c0ldfusion, chmod: cannot access `/home/f0rmat/.gvfs': Permission denied | 23:17 |
| eflagz | Ademan, what was your opinion and why did you stop using it? | 23:17 |
| c0ldfusion | f0rmat: you did sudo? | 23:18 |
| Zambezi | Anyone used a monitor with pivot-feature and know if it's supported in Ubuntu? So the picture automaticly turn 90 degree. | 23:18 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | There was a compiz --replace command that worked too | 23:18 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: I'm confused then. Can you paste what you have in your trash | 23:18 |
| CroX | I can't get colors on my TV using a s-video cable. During startup it looks great with full colors and all but once the login screen pops up that goes away and there's no signal to my TV anymore. When trying to get a clone after having logged in I only get black and white. Someone please help me? | 23:18 |
| Ademan | eflagz: i know it's shallow but i thought it was really ugly, honestly i don't think any of the tiling window managers at this moment are worth using, i think they're getting close to something that might be useful, but right now it's just too different with too little benefit | 23:18 |
| f0rmat | c0ldfusion, yes | 23:18 |
| elTigre | not even vista is as memory and cpu hungry as ubuntu -.- | 23:18 |
| HangukMiguk | Can anyone tell me what's wrong with Rhythmbox not playing my AAC/MP4 files when it previously did? I am getting the following error: "**Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion(int4, framed=(boolean)true, codec_data=(buffer)1210, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2" and have reinstalled everything related to gstreamer, faad, faac, mp4, done gst-inspect, and reinstalled rhythmbox twice, with no luck | 23:18 |
| eflagz | Ademan, aight | 23:19 |
| Ademan | eflagz: dwm is probably the closest to being useful in my opinion (made by the same guy that made wmii) | 23:19 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | f0rmat do a sudo su | 23:19 |
| nickrud | f0rmat you using hardy? | 23:19 |
| coz_ | gluer, open synaptic package manager first | 23:19 |
| coz_ | gluer, Settings then repositories | 23:19 |
| eflagz | Ademan, personally I don't like compiz/metacity/kde/xfce and the like | 23:19 |
| Juhaz | Ademan, there's some reserved space that only root can use, 5% by default, you can use tune2fs to set it lower. http://www.ducea.com/2008/03/04/ext3-reserved-blocks-percentage/ | 23:19 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: There are five folders, and one or two of them are empty. | 23:19 |
| coz_ | gluer, make sure all of them are checked in the first tab | 23:19 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Is there a way to make awn go... less... over all of my windows | 23:19 |
| mysterycool | i am trying to configure the LZO Library but I get an error, help please. | 23:20 |
| Ademan | Juhaz: huh, that's kinda dumb, this is my /home partition :-p | 23:20 |
| mysterycool | :s | 23:20 |
| f0rmat | i_r_leenucks_man, nickrud, i am using ubuntu 8.04 | 23:20 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: there may be a better way but try sudo find / -name [foldername] | 23:20 |
| eflagz | Ademan, I just don't think they're effective working with. wmii seems to do lots of things that I like. just curious about how stable it is in ubuntu | 23:20 |
| coz_ | gluer, did you get that? | 23:20 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: just to see where it is | 23:20 |
| zagabog | elTigre: What I have ubuntu up and running on an old celeron with 256M on PC that was a dog wit XP | 23:20 |
| nickrud | f0rmat check with the guys in #ubuntu+1 for hardy | 23:20 |
| eflagz | Ademan, although it seems a hell of a lot more stable than for example compiz as of yet :) | 23:20 |
| kraft__ | hello | 23:21 |
| Juhaz | Ademan, yeah. for /home, you can probably turn it down all the way to 0 | 23:21 |
| Ademan | eflagz: hah, well i really didn't use wmii very long | 23:21 |
| Ademan | Juhaz: yep | 23:21 |
| hellonull | i_r_leenucks_man: bar behavior is on general tab in awn manager (system -> prefs -> awn manager) | 23:21 |
| hellonull | is that what you are looking for? | 23:21 |
| eflagz | Ademan, what exactly was it you found didn't work very well? | 23:21 |
| elTigre | zagabog: that's fine. I have a dualcore system with big ram, and even simply text editors and gaim regularly block for seconds | 23:21 |
| elTigre | zagabog: and I am very frustrated because I can't find the reason | 23:21 |
| f0rmat | nickrud, thankyou | 23:22 |
| kraft__ | i have a misbehaving module that seems to hang, is there a way to reset it, or even look into the issue further? | 23:22 |
| Ademan | eflagz: well it was just too wierd, and i didn't feel like it made me work faster, and i didn't feel like if i stuck around and learned how to use it well, that i would work faster | 23:22 |
| kraft__ | that psstate is S< | 23:22 |
| eflagz | Ademan, aight | 23:22 |
| kraft__ | which S = waiting, and < = high priority | 23:22 |
| Ademan | eflagz: i've tried just about every tiling window manager out there, none of them has really tripped my trigger though. like i said i really like the idea, but i think the execution so far hasn't been great | 23:22 |
| kraft__ | which seems fine | 23:22 |
| kraft__ | but lsof gives: | 23:22 |
| eflagz | Ademan, which wm do you use then? | 23:22 |
| Ademan | eflagz: just metacity right now | 23:23 |
| nickrud | Ademan I kinda thought tiling went out with windows 1 | 23:23 |
| kraft__ | /proc/6235/cwd (readlink: Permission denied) | 23:23 |
| kraft__ | (for example) | 23:23 |
| b4l74z4r | is there a way i can turn on system wide vsync in ubuntu with a nvidia card? | 23:23 |
| eflagz | Ademan, aight | 23:23 |
| Ademan | nickrud: i dunno i really think tiling wm's could do something great for the desktop if someone could just get it right | 23:23 |
| zagabog | elTigre, still a relative newbie to the world of Linux so can't really help | 23:24 |
| Blissex3 | b4l74z4r: sort of. | 23:24 |
| zagabog | elTigre, I have Ubuntu running on a Dual core Athalon system with 2g memory and no problems | 23:25 |
| b4l74z4r | Blissex3, can you please explain how i should go about it? | 23:25 |
| nickrud | Ademan maybe when everyone has 32" monitors ;) | 23:25 |
| elTigre | well I guess it isn't the system per se | 23:25 |
| Ademan | nickrud: lol | 23:25 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Nothing happens at all. | 23:25 |
| Teo- | can i download the new kernel 2.6.24.4 for gutsy gibbon from the ubuntu archives using apt-get?? | 23:25 |
| Blissex3 | b4l74z4r: there are some environment variables mentioned in the NVIDIA README.xt | 23:25 |
| elTigre | it's just that something got wrong... but I can't find it and it is rather annoying | 23:25 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: so it didn't find the folders | 23:25 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: heh get me bud | 23:25 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Nope. | 23:25 |
| c0ldfusion | *got | 23:26 |
| elTigre | I don't forked out money for a good laptop to have it block and bitch all the time with the simplest tasks | 23:26 |
| Blissex3 | b4l74z4r: there are some environment variables mentioned in the NVIDIA 'README.txt' and one of them controls VSYNC. You can default it in the login scripts or in PAM. | 23:26 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: bud? | 23:26 |
| pois0n` | Im having trouble installing ubuntu, after i boot my computer with the ubuntu disc inside, any options i click like to install or anything, it just takes me to a black screen and hangs there(interesting though the caps lock and num lock key keep blinking on and off) | 23:26 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | That's kernel panic. | 23:26 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: yeh slang. sorry. | 23:26 |
| b4l74z4r | Blissex3, how do i enter the settings menu? | 23:26 |
| pois0n` | the kernel is panic'ing with the install cd? | 23:26 |
| stefg | pois0n`: that means a kernel panic | 23:26 |
| Blissex3 | pois0n`: if those leds blink it is a kernel crash. Probably your CD is bad, or your PC is incompatible. | 23:26 |
| elTigre | and the javavm is a bitch too | 23:27 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | You're probably hosed. I had to reinstall Ubuntu after I started getting Kernel panics like hell in Feisty | 23:27 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: hehehehe. it's okay man. :D | 23:27 |
| HangukMiguk | i'm getting the following two errors when trying to play back AAC/MP4 files in rhythmbox: "(rhythmbox-metadata:511): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfaad.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfaad.so: undefined symbol: faacDecDecode" & "**Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion(int4, framed=(boolean)true, codec_data=(buffer)1210, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2" i have reinstalled e | 23:27 |
| sixpence | Heya guys, just installed ubuntu on my laptop. I got a broadcom card, folloed the howto and when I want to select a network, all the networks in my area are listed however it doesn't connect properly. I noticed that there is a eth1:avah interface under ifconfig, is that a problem? | 23:27 |
| sixpence | Any help is appreciated | 23:27 |
| elTigre | like 800 Megs of virtual memory... for an IDE? | 23:27 |
| Blissex3 | elTigre: the Java VM is a bitch on any PC which is not utterly enormous. | 23:27 |
| zagabog | elTigre, you could try leave open a cosole window running the top command to watch which processes are busy when it happens | 23:27 |
| === gliss_ is now known as gliss | ||
| omar | c0ldfusion: So, this all you can do huh? | 23:27 |
| elTigre | I know on any pc.... | 23:27 |
| elTigre | zagabog: I have been through this one a lot | 23:27 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | sixpence: you using the right interface to connect? | 23:27 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | sixpence: You tried the right network interface? | 23:27 |
| elTigre | I can't really find any consistent caus | 23:28 |
| elTigre | e | 23:28 |
| Blissex3 | elTigre: if you are using NetBeans or Eclipse, 800MB is the minimum. Thanks a lot of genX/Y Java coders who can't be asked to write tight code because it is not cool. | 23:28 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: well, if the find didin't find the folders then either you typed the name wrong or they don't exist. So I dunno... | 23:28 |
| sixpence | i_r_leenucks_man: Well the GUI doesn't have the interface names, it jsut sais "Wireless Connection" | 23:28 |
| mysterycool | When I try to install the LZO Library I get the error configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check | 23:28 |
| mysterycool | How can I fix this plz? :S | 23:28 |
| elTigre | stopping all the greedy indexers helps a little. but that's not enough | 23:28 |
| throe | Can I ask questions concering Hardy Heron here? | 23:28 |
| nickrud | mysterycool have you installed build-essential | 23:28 |
| Starnestommy | mysterycool: is build-essential installed? | 23:28 |
| odder | !hardy | throe | 23:28 |
| ubotu | throe: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 23:28 |
| Blissex3 | mysterycool: usually that;s because your haven't installed the basic devel packages. | 23:28 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | !hardy | YoMomma | 23:29 |
| ubotu | YoMomma: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 23:29 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: The only thing I wanna is where the hell did this trash:/// location come from... -_- | 23:29 |
| samuel | Does anyone know a lot about ATI drivers? | 23:29 |
| zagabog | elTigre, have you looked at memory is there something swapping heavily? | 23:29 |
| Devrethman | Hey, dumb question | 23:29 |
| mysterycool | nickrud + starnstommy: build-essential? Is the found in the synaptic package manager? :S | 23:29 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: I think that's just a special lookup for nautilus; it's not a real folder | 23:29 |
| Devrethman | how do I tell what release of ubuntu someone's using? | 23:29 |
| nickrud | mysterycool yes | 23:29 |
| itaku2 | i got to ask a ? | 23:29 |
| elTigre | how can I know if something is swapping heavily? | 23:29 |
| Starnestommy | mysterycool: yes, and on the terminal with sudo apt-get install build-essential | 23:30 |
| itaku2 | wats my fav coller | 23:30 |
| elTigre | I have 754m of Xorg for virtual mem | 23:30 |
| nickrud | !gutsysources | mysterycool (check this first) | 23:30 |
| ubotu | mysterycool (check this first): 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). | 23:30 |
| marex_v2 | hi, when I try to boot up hardy it crashes and shows me something like that [...] saa7134[0]/alsa: saa7134[0] at 0x...... irq 17 registered as card -2 (newline) [...] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001 followed by debugging output and a call trace | 23:30 |
| zagabog | elTigre, does this happen randomly or just when particular applications are running | 23:30 |
| nickrud | marex_v2 try #ubuntu+1 fo hardy till release date | 23:30 |
| Survivorman | marex_v2, try ubuntu+1 | 23:30 |
| elTigre | randomly for a longer time | 23:30 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: when in doubt, reboot ;) | 23:30 |
| mysterycool | nickrud + Starnestommy: thanks guyz ;) :D | 23:30 |
| elTigre | I thought there were certain applications | 23:30 |
| elTigre | but there are a lot culprits | 23:30 |
| elTigre | like gnome-panel at startup | 23:31 |
| elTigre | or the indexers | 23:31 |
| elTigre | or firefox | 23:31 |
| T-Style | esurge.net | 23:31 |
| samuel | Does anyone know a lot about ATI drivers | 23:31 |
| swoskow | HangukMiguk: do you have ffmpeg installed? | 23:31 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: This problem is not new, man. These stuff have been in my trash applet for a pretty long time now. | 23:31 |
| elTigre | the javavm is the biggest memory consumer, but it doesn't really matter | 23:31 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: I believe you. | 23:31 |
| elTigre | I think | 23:31 |
| nickrud | !anyone | samuel | 23:31 |
| ubotu | samuel: 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? | 23:31 |
| Devrethman | does apt-get dist-upgrade work in ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| elTigre | how much ram consumption is normal for Xorg? | 23:32 |
| Starnestommy | Devrethman: it should | 23:32 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: did you try deleting the entire .Trash folder and creating a new one? | 23:32 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Maybe the only thing that'll removing is if I re-install the entire system. LOL | 23:32 |
| nickrud | Devrethman not recommended, do-release-upgrade is preferred | 23:32 |
| c0ldfusion | lol | 23:32 |
| Devrethman | cause I'm working on a guy's comp that's having issues with the GUI upgrader for some reason | 23:32 |
| HangukMiguk | swoskow: no | 23:32 |
| Devrethman | apr-get do-release-upgrade? | 23:32 |
| Devrethman | err | 23:32 |
| Devrethman | apt-get? | 23:32 |
| nickrud | Devrethman no, sudo do-release-upgrade | 23:32 |
| omar | c0ldfusion: Is it as easy as it sounds? | 23:32 |
| swoskow | HangukMiguk - try that | 23:33 |
| zagabog | elTigre, I would start to think about whether there might be a problem with a device since your system spec should not be an issue | 23:33 |
| Devrethman | nickrud: is that a console thing? | 23:33 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: I'm not sure what the permissions on the folder are. But as a normal user (not using sudo) try rm -r .Trash; mkdir .Trash | 23:33 |
| HangukMiguk | swoskow: wait, are we talking ffmpeg, or gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg | 23:33 |
| nickrud | Devrethman yes | 23:33 |
| c0ldfusion | omar: and reboot | 23:33 |
| c0ldfusion | maybe | 23:33 |
| swoskow | ffmpeg | 23:33 |
| swoskow | i assume you already have gstreamerffmpeg | 23:34 |
| elTigre | zagabog: had that idea, but I don't know how to investigate that | 23:34 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Delete and recreate trash? | 23:34 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | That sounds risky. | 23:34 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Omar, what was your problem | 23:34 |
| === akv_ is now known as akv | ||
| c0ldfusion | omar: yeh I'm out of options =) | 23:34 |
| zagabog | elTigre, a thorough disk test and a thorough memory test might be a good pace to start | 23:35 |
| c0ldfusion | i_r_leenucks_man: he has folders showing up in his trash in the GUI but there is nothing in his .Trash folder | 23:35 |
| steven__ | What is better, installing Wordpress via aptitude or installing the .tar.gz? | 23:35 |
| samuel | ok sorry. Basicly, I just installed the fglxr driver but, the restricted drivers menu says that it is "in use" (green check mark) but, there is nothing in the enabled box. in the past when I have clicked the enabled box, upon reboot I am greeted with a blank screen and no way to access another terminal. also my I can watch my screen refresh all the way down and it is really obnoxious. :) | 23:35 |
| mysterycool | i am trying to configure grub but it says /bin/sh: autoheader: not found | 23:35 |
| mysterycool | make: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 127 | 23:35 |
| c0ldfusion | i_r_leenucks_man: and there is only one user (him) on the system | 23:35 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Can you delete them from GUI | 23:35 |
| omar | I_r_leenucks_man: I have a bunch of folders in my trash applet on the task bar that cannot be deleted, due to permission issues. | 23:35 |
| elTigre | zogabog: hmmm.... | 23:35 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Log in as root? | 23:36 |
| nickrud | samuel did you install the driver from ati website, or from restricted manager? | 23:36 |
| c0ldfusion | no he hasn't logged into the GUI as root | 23:36 |
| Survivorman | omar, can you take them out of the trash and then delete them | 23:36 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Can you change permissions? | 23:36 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | try that | 23:36 |
| Kiborg | Why would linux change apperance if i put a cd in? | 23:36 |
| elTigre | zagabog : the disk speed is normal... I get about 40 mb / sec | 23:36 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Try loggin'. | 23:36 |
| c0ldfusion | there's nothing in the directory to change | 23:36 |
| samuel | nickrud: I used the ATI website. | 23:36 |
| Survivorman | Omar, I've just taken folders out of trash and used sudo rm -r folder | 23:36 |
| omar | I_r_leenucks_man: Nope, not even that. | 23:37 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Does anyone know if I can make Freespire GNOME or make it look like that? KDE looks like sh*t | 23:37 |
| nickrud | samuel ok, that's why it says it's in use, but not checked: it's not using the one from the restricted manager | 23:37 |
| zagabog | samuel, I had a similar issue with X not working with an Nvidia card. I had to manually edit the xorg.conf to point it to the new graphics card. | 23:37 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Try logging in as root, or sudo su and then change perms from terminal | 23:37 |
| jaffarkelshac | can i adjust my lcd brightness on my laptop through terminal. i lost the control after the last kernal update | 23:37 |
| Survivorman | omar, what is in the trash? | 23:37 |
| elTigre | or 30mb rather | 23:37 |
| nickrud | omar try sudo updatedb && locate Trash , see if you find one somewhere | 23:37 |
| c0ldfusion | gotta get some chow lata | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | when I do "make" in order to compile grub, i get /bin/sh: autoheader: not found | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | make: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 127 | 23:38 |
| omar | Survivorman: A bunch of folders | 23:38 |
| nickrud | omar somwhere being other than your home dir | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | make: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 127 | 23:38 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | affarkelshac:Kernel updates suck. A feisty update made my install unusable, giving me constant kernel panics | 23:38 |
| nickrud | mysterycool why in the world are you compiling grub? | 23:38 |
| Devrethman | is there a gnome xterm that supports tabs? | 23:38 |
| CroX | What's the command to bring up Gnome's resolution configuration? | 23:38 |
| zagabog | elTigre, I was more thinking of a thorough surface scan rather than a speed test, making sure that there's no bad sectors causing problems | 23:38 |
| nickrud | Devrethman gnome-terminal ? | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: developing os -_- | 23:38 |
| Devrethman | it doesn't have tabs AFAIK | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | XD | 23:38 |
| zagabog | elt | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | :p | 23:38 |
| Starnestommy | Devrethman: ctrl+shift+t | 23:38 |
| mysterycool | =] | 23:38 |
| Devrethman | if it does, I'd like to know how to use them | 23:38 |
| jaffarkelshac | i am not happy at all, i have to hibernate and then adjust whilst it loads on boot up | 23:39 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Can anyone tell me which dependencies airpwn needs? | 23:39 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Devrethman use the file -> new tab | 23:39 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: so any ideas why it's not actually working? :S | 23:39 |
| Devrethman | nifty | 23:39 |
| * Devrethman is used to KDE, so yeah, sorry for the silly things I don't know | 23:39 | |
| nickrud | Devrethman hit shfit-ctl-T to open a new one | 23:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | omar: you can't delete them out of the trash can? | 23:39 |
| samuel | should I be trying to use the one from the restricted manager? | 23:39 |
| steven | I am running Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop, and if I don't toucnccfdh it for about 20seconds the LCD goes dim to save power which is great... however when I start using it again I have to manually increase the brightness, I would like it to go back to normal brightness? | 23:39 |
| HangukMiguk | swoskow: installed ffmpeg, gst-inspect still gives me errors about libfaad | 23:39 |
| ionblaster | can anyone help me figure out why when I try to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD, in the partition manager a window pops up with nothing but "??? ???" and the choice "OK" | 23:39 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | OMAR: gksudo nautilus, then delete files | 23:40 |
| nickrud | samuel well, once you've installed the one from ati it's very hard to get back to the restricted one | 23:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | i_r_leenucks_man: are you nuts? | 23:40 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Why? | 23:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats a bad way to do that | 23:40 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Well, he needs to get rid of them from root access, how else? | 23:40 |
| swoskow | HangukMiguk - is libfaad installed? Have you rebooted? Have you tried playing them in any other players | 23:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | i_r_leenucks_man: uh, how bout the way you're supposed to do it.. sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/* | 23:41 |
| pusoicafe | anybody has idea on how to configure internet connection sharing in 7.10? | 23:41 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | That wasn't workin for him | 23:41 |
| nickrud | i_r_leenucks_man have him update is locate database, and then check for any paths with Trash outside of home, then remove any found with the command line | 23:41 |
| jaffarkelshac | can i adjust my lcd brightness on my laptop through terminal. i lost the control after the last kernal update | 23:41 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Tell Omar that | 23:41 |
| HangukMiguk | swoskow: libfaad is installed, i have not rebooted, does that do anything to plugins at all? audacious plays aac no problem | 23:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | i_r_leenucks_man: if it wasn't working for him, then most likely he wasn't using root. | 23:41 |
| ionblaster | can anyone help me figure out why when I try to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD, in the partition manager a window pops up with nothing but "??? ???" and the choice "OK". This is in 7.04 | 23:41 |
| nickrud | i_r_leenucks_man I did, but there's so much chaff ;) | 23:41 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Do a private chat him | 23:42 |
| samuel | nickrud: ok. Is that bad? | 23:42 |
| nickrud | samuel not always, but often ;) | 23:42 |
| swoskow | HangukMiguk - generally you should not need to reboot but i noticed sometimes it helps. if the other players are working then you should have all the correct codecs installed and for somereason RB is not accessing them | 23:42 |
| heartsblood | What would cause 3D apps to crash out of full screen every 10 minutes when running compiz? | 23:42 |
| ionblaster | can anyone help me figure out why when I try to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD, in the partition manager a window pops up with nothing but "??? ???" and the choice "OK". This is in 7.04 | 23:43 |
| nickrud | heartsblood gl apps and compiz simply don't get along well | 23:43 |
| togoella | hi | 23:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | !patience | ionblaster | 23:43 |
| ubotu | ionblaster: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:43 |
| togoella | how do I install java to play games? | 23:43 |
| HangukMiguk | swoskow: it's not just rhythmbox, but i get the same errors when i do gst-inspect like it says to do on gstreamer's site | 23:43 |
| nickrud | togoella sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 23:43 |
| heartsblood | nickrud: so I've noticed. | 23:43 |
| heartsblood | nickrud, is there anything I can do besides metacity --replace every time I want to run something full screen? | 23:44 |
| nickrud | heartsblood #compiz-fusion probably could explain why, it you're really interested | 23:44 |
| togoella | all nickrud? sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 23:44 |
| ryanzec | when i try to make the alsa 2.0.16 to get mt sound card fully working on ubuntu i get this message http://pastebin.org/27704 : anyone know hat causes this? | 23:44 |
| nickrud | togoella that's all you need to do, yes ;) | 23:44 |
| heartsblood | nickrud, good idea, i'll go pester them | 23:44 |
| sixpence | Hey guys I have a broadcom card, it's installed and gnome's wifi manager gives me a list of connections in my area HOWEVER it just never connects properly. | 23:44 |
| togoella | there is no package :\ sun-java6-jre | 23:44 |
| togoella | that's the error, nickrud | 23:44 |
| nickrud | !gutsysources | togoella check this, then do the apt-get again | 23:45 |
| ubotu | togoella check this, then do the apt-get 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). | 23:45 |
| samuel | nickrud: I could reinstall. It doesn't take that long. do you think that using the restricted drivers would help? I have an ATI X1300 card and I would like to be able to do some gaming but, right now I just want a desktop that does not drive me crazy... | 23:45 |
| smick002 | do I need to download something for twin view? | 23:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | samiam: then install Nvidia.. :) | 23:45 |
| smick002 | I'm typing sudo nvidia-settings and nothing works. | 23:45 |
| sixpence | It even sais signal strength is 85% | 23:45 |
| bl3s5in | irssi is awesome :) | 23:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: twinview should be pretty easy to setup. | 23:46 |
| andreferreira | hi there! | 23:46 |
| nickrud | samuel I've seen lots of people have success (as success is defined while using ati cards) on the x1300 with the restricted driver. | 23:46 |
| togoella | thank you | 23:46 |
| smick002 | InduGunFreak: do you know where to start? | 23:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: hang on | 23:46 |
| sixpence | Hey guys I have a broadcom card, it's installed and gnome's wifi manager gives me a list of connections in my area HOWEVER it just never connects properly. It even sais it's at 85% | 23:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 23:46 |
| smick002 | I guess not. | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | well. that would be a good place to start. | 23:47 |
| swoskow | HangukMiguk: strange - and yo had it working at one time is that correct | 23:47 |

| tdobson | hey there. anyone got any idea how to use a SOCKS 5 proxy (a ssh tunnel) with Konqueror? | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: hang on | 23:47 |
| HangukMiguk | swoskow: yeah, gstreamer worked fine | 23:47 |
| smick002 | it's not under apt-get nvidia-settings. | 23:47 |
| togoella | nickrud: done all the repositories are enable | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: what card do you have? | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: yes it is | 23:47 |
| smick002 | I use an 8800GT, pretty new | 23:47 |
| nickrud | togoella then try the apt-get again, java is in the multiverse one | 23:48 |
| Survivorman | samuel, I have to have the restricted driver and xgl to get my compiz working fine. then I setup a xgl-less session to use games properly. | 23:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: that might be the issue. | 23:48 |
| togoella | same error :| | 23:48 |
| swoskow | are you in gutsy? | 23:48 |
| andreferreira | a question ... about Web-Design ... any of you know about any application like Dream Weaver (windows) but for linux ? i've tried NVU but no PHP supported, i've heard about phpmole, but can't install it using apt-get install... im using Gutsy. any help would be thankful! | 23:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | cuz i run dual screens no prob w/ a 7900 | 23:48 |
| HangukMiguk | feisty | 23:48 |
| style23 | I have 2 flash players installed I know I have but I want to remove the other. Everytime I try to view a youtube videos it freezes the computer | 23:48 |
| nickrud | togoella hm. what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:48 |
| smick002 | IndyGunFreak: I messed up. I needed to type apt-get install | 23:48 |
| smick002 | not just apt-get | 23:48 |
| Zelta | Compiz-Fusion has issues running certain games, correct? Because frozen-bubble2 does not work with Compiz | 23:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok. | 23:48 |
| Zelta | IS there any way to get it to work? | 23:48 |
| togoella | nickrud: Linux torroella-desktop 2.6.17-12-generic #2 SMP Tue Feb 12 01:17:37 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 23:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: do you have the restricted driver enabled? | 23:49 |
| Survivorman | Zelta, i run frozen-bubble with compiz just fine | 23:49 |
| samuel | nickrud: thanks. | 23:49 |
| Zelta | Survivorman: For some reason, the loading bar progresses, and then stops. | 23:49 |
| Zelta | I have to kill the process to close it. | 23:49 |
| nickrud | style23 locate flashplayer.so , it'll be one of those | 23:49 |
| HangukMiguk | someone in #gstreamer said my version of libfaad is incompatible with gstreamer, what is the most recent version in synaptic? i think i may have something messed up | 23:49 |
| Survivorman | Zelta, do you use xgl? | 23:50 |
| smick002 | indygunfreak: I'm not sure if restricteed driver is enabled. | 23:50 |
| nickrud | togoella put a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 23:50 |
| style23 | nickrud I don't know the name of the other one | 23:50 |
| smick002 | I got the nvidia settings. I was about to apply them. should I not yet? | 23:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: system/admin/restricted driver manager | 23:50 |
| style23 | nickrud one is adobe | 23:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: check and make sure restricted driver is enabled first | 23:50 |
| i_r_leenucks_man | Does packet injection work with 2200BG? What patches does I need? | 23:50 |
| smick002 | indygunfreak: it's not there. | 23:50 |
| smick002 | I guess I need to install that. | 23:50 |
| Zelta | Survivorman: No. | 23:50 |
| nickrud | style23 have you tried that search yet? | 23:50 |
| togoella | nickrud: how do I select all the text in there? | 23:50 |
| Zelta | Compiz-Fusion worked without XGL | 23:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: then thats likely why you're not getting dual screens to work | 23:50 |
| nickrud | togoella in gedit, ctl-a | 23:51 |
| samuel | Survivorman: so would the easiest way to use the restricted drivers after using the ATI drivers from the website involve a reinstall of the entire OS? | 23:51 |
| style23 | nickrud nope... i'll be back | 23:51 |
| smick002 | IndyGunFreak: because it didn't install automatically? | 23:51 |
| Survivorman | zelta, you could just make user without compiz enabled and use user switching to go back and forth to play games. not an elegant solution, but works. | 23:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: but you can try installing nvidia-settings, see if it gives you the ption to setup dual screens | 23:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: it would appear. | 23:51 |
| Zelta | Well, okay. | 23:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | i wouldn't get your hopes up though. | 23:51 |
| smick002 | It does now. | 23:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok. | 23:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | odd. | 23:51 |
| binarical-app | respecting : "Configure the bzr-cia plugin, in the file ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf" . do i make ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf, or is there a command to configure the plugin? | 23:51 |
| Survivorman | samuel, I've done it without the reinstall, but to be safe, and if you don't have a lot to backup, probably. | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | When I plug in a photo card either with the camera or multi-card usb adaptor I get a pop up asking if I want to import the photos.. Is that pop up from F-Spot or something else? | 23:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Scunizi: i think so.. not 100% sure. | 23:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | you should be able to choose to ignore it. | 23:52 |
| togoella | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62263/ | 23:52 |
| nickrud | Scunizi check the removable media pref, I think it's set there | 23:52 |
| Scunizi | IndyGunFreak, :) that's why I'm asking.. I typically ignore it and manually import what I want.. just curious | 23:52 |
| jpw27_ | anybody have trouble with Rhythmbox and plug-ins | 23:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Scunizi: i'm not 100% SURE, but i think its from F-spot.. or Imageviewer.. | 23:53 |
| samuel | Survivorman: thanks do I just add the restricted repositories after install? | 23:53 |
| Devrethman | Is support for packaged ending reason to abort a do-release-upgrade, or is something else causing it to not work | 23:53 |
| Survivorman | samuel, more than likely you're going to have to install xserver-xgl as well to get your card working. Google "ati xgl compiz gutsy" to get a good howto. | 23:53 |
| Survivorman | samuel, I like to do a complete system update, then add them. | 23:53 |
| Scunizi | IndyGunFreak, that's why I'm reluctant to use it. If it's imageviewer I think it uses a different directory than fspot.. | 23:53 |
| togoella | nickrud: is there any problem in there? | 23:53 |
| samuel | Surviorman: thank you | 23:53 |
| Devrethman | cause do-release upgrade is whining about packages not being supported, telling me they'll be suggested for removal, and aborting | 23:53 |
| Survivorman | samuel, no problem. | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | probably.. Scunizi i never use it, i aways put them in my own folder, and use Gimp. | 23:54 |
| togoella | nickrud: should I remove the # ? | 23:54 |
| server_ | wasn't it originaly called gusty rather than gutsy? | 23:54 |
| nickrud | togoella yes, no multiverse in the right place: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62265/ , you'll see that I removed # from lines 16 & 17, and added multiverse to the ends | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | server_: that was the gassy version of gibbon. | 23:55 |
| smick002 | indygunfreak: do you know if after I apply these twinview settings, do I need to save to X config file? | 23:55 |
| smick002 | it's an option here in the settings | 23:55 |
| andreferreira | any web designer here that can help me with my question please? | 23:55 |
| nickrud | togoella you will need to run gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to make and save those changes | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: yes | 23:55 |
| Devrethman | do I have to get all the packages that are no longer supported off his system BEFORE I try the upgrade? | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | smick002: apply, then save to X | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | then restart... and see if it starts up automatically | 23:55 |
| smick002 | ok, restarting.... | 23:55 |
| alperkanat | hey there.. i'm trying to forward some ports from my wifi router to this local machine... SSH is ok.. but when i try to forward port 8000 to external 8000 i can't reach it from outside... is this related with ubuntu ? | 23:56 |
| swoskow | HangukMiguk - i am out of ideas - it seems you have everything installed - hopefully someone that knows more than i do can help you. | 23:56 |
| pirattrev | how do i register my nick? | 23:56 |
| omar | Guys, thanks to all of you! I did it!!! | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | !register | 23:56 |
| ubotu | By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. | 23:56 |
| nickrud | togoella hrm, actually you shouldn't need those changes. they're in line one (you sources have been modified slightly differently than I'm used to) | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | omar: the command I PMd you should have taken about 5sec to do that | 23:56 |
| togoella | nickrud: I changed yours for mine, is ok ? | 23:56 |
| binarical-app | alperkanat: you will have to allow that port both on the server as forwarded and on your router as unblocked | 23:57 |
| andreferreira | erm, probably you can't read me cause i'm not registered? | 23:57 |
| nickrud | togoella you should go back to yours, it's fine actually. I missed the additions to line 1, not where I expect the gui tool to put the change | 23:57 |
| omar | Trash that freaked us all out was at /home/omar/.local......./Trash/files | 23:57 |
| tim167 | how do i upload a folder and all its contents to my ftp ? i looked at man ftp but no clear instructions there... thanks | 23:57 |
| nickrud | togoella or simply comment out lines 16 & 17 again | 23:57 |
| alperkanat | binarical-app: does ubuntu block it out of the box ? | 23:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | omar: how dit hat happen? | 23:58 |
| andreferreira | if anyone can read me please say "me" :\ | 23:58 |
| mackid | me | 23:58 |
| nickrud | you | 23:58 |
| andreferreira | oh sorry... | 23:58 |
| GIn | tim167: try gftp | 23:58 |
| andreferreira | my fault :| | 23:58 |
| andreferreira | lol | 23:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | idiot | 23:58 |
| hellonull | tim167: create a new folder with mkdir, cd into it, make sure you have lcd'ed into the local folder and then mput * | 23:58 |
| pirattrev | /msg nickserv set hide email on | 23:58 |
| omar | I removed the "files" folder and the created once again, and the trash is finally empty. :D | 23:58 |
| togoella | nickrud: ok, now? | 23:58 |
| binarical-app | alperkanat: if you installed an applicationt he uses port:8000 then you will have to allow incomming connections to connect to port:8000. otherwise the port should remain blocked | 23:59 |
| togoella | still the package error | 23:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | pirattrev: you may wan tto do those commands on the main freenode window.. otherwise, when you scrwe up like you just did, you'll have people logging in to your account | 23:59 |
| odder | pirattrev: :) | 23:59 |
| togoella | sun-java6-jre now found | 23:59 |
| togoella | not* | 23:59 |
| tim167 | hellonull, ok i'll try that thanks, Gln if that fails ill have a look at gftp too :) | 23:59 |
| nickrud | togoella now, lines 26 & 27 , uncomment those. java6 is backported for edgy, it comes with java5 | 23:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | togoella: search synaptic for sun... its there | 23:59 |
| togoella | ok | 23:59 |
