| omar | Anywayz, thanks to all of you! | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Survivorman | togoella, did you sudo apt-get update? | 00:00 |
| hellonull | tim167: if you want a gui, use gftp, you can find it in synaptic | 00:00 |
| alperkanat | binarical-app: i'm running django's bundled server on my ubuntu box now... and trying to forward the external port to this machine's 8000. port | 00:00 |
| nickrud | togoella then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 00:00 |
| togoella | done nickrud | 00:00 |
| omar | But one more thing, what was that command used to locate the trash? | 00:00 |
| nickrud | togoella look just above your line | 00:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | omar: to locate it, or to use root to delete it? | 00:01 |
| togoella | ok it is loading | 00:01 |
| togoella | thank you so much guys | 00:01 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak he's on edgy | 00:01 |
| togoella | is my first time using linux ubuntu | 00:01 |
| * togoella smiles | 00:01 | |
| IndyGunFreak | ah.. gotcha. | 00:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | why?..lol | 00:01 |
| nickrud | togoella enjoy :) | 00:01 |
| omar | IndyGunFreak: locate it | 00:01 |
| togoella | I like it a lot | 00:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | omar: well trash, all you have to do is open your home folder, click View/Show HIdden files, then go down to ./Trash, and double click it | 00:02 |
| Thib_ | I hate when this happens | 00:02 |
| togoella | While it loads, can someone tell me if there is any way to play windows games on ubuntu :D ? | 00:02 |
| nickrud | omar sudo updatedb && locate Trash (updatedb only has to be run when there're new files to be indexed, and is run daily by default) | 00:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | togoella: sometimes | 00:02 |
| Thib_ | I bought a new laptop and of course all its hardware is basically too recent to work with anything | 00:02 |
| nickrud | !wine | togoella (but it's crack) | 00:02 |
| ubotu | togoella (but it's crack): WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 00:02 |
| omar | nickrud: Yes thanks! That's what I was looking for! ;) | 00:02 |
| towlie_ | whats the name of the unix based app that formats your c++ code | 00:02 |
| deniz__ | yo can sum1 plz help me share a dial-up connection (i did the hosting on a windows xp comp) but how do i do the client on an ubuntu 7.04 laptop? | 00:03 |
| togoella | yeah I read about wine | 00:03 |
| togoella | !appbd | 00:03 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about appbd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:03 |
| tim167 | hellonull: ok, the ftp command mput only puts files inside the cwd, not folders is there a way to make it put folders too ? | 00:03 |
| nickrud | that's the place to look, alright | 00:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | !appdb | togoella almost... | 00:03 |
| ubotu | togoella almost...: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 00:03 |
| pirattrev | how do i test if my nick is registered? | 00:04 |
| StPatrick | Does ubuntu support compiz? | 00:04 |
| GIn | deniz__: how is the laptop connected to the xp machine? | 00:04 |
| binarical-app | alperkanat: you will have to let incomming connections connect to this port. to do so you must edit a .conf file that partains to your application. in my experiance , i had to edit a .conf file to allow http access to my home server.....if you wait a bit i might be able to help you some more | 00:04 |
| Survivorman | pirattrev, did you get my pm? | 00:04 |
| Survivorman | you're registered | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | StPatrick: ubuntu supports it fine, its wether your video device supports it, is the question | 00:05 |
| nickrud | StPatrick yes | 00:05 |
| alperkanat | binarical-app: ok | 00:05 |
| deniz__ | GIn, thru a wired router (I think i have the router set up properly but I am not 100% sure) | 00:05 |
| togoella | awesome fs2004 works :D | 00:05 |
| pirattrev | thanks survivorman | 00:05 |
| Survivorman | pirattrev, you're very welcome | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | pirattrev: you should see on the main freenode page, assuming you're using xchat/xchat-gnome, it will say "this nick is registered", | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | or something like that | 00:05 |
| StPatrick | LoL, Im using it in Mandriva right now. | 00:05 |
| deniz__ | quick compiling questiom: do u need to extract a tar.bz2 b4 working on it or not? | 00:05 |
| StPatrick | Does anyone know how to get a Realtek RTL 8187b to work in Ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| togoella | how do I install it? apt-get install wine , ? | 00:06 |
| pirattrev | yeah, i'm using gnome-xchat | 00:06 |
| GIn | deniz__: if your inetrnet connection is on the xp machine, I think you need a switch. Does the router have dhcp build into it? | 00:06 |
| hellonull | tim167: good question, i'm not sure | 00:06 |
| odder | togoella: and there's cedega as well, you can get a free (no cost, I mean) version from their SVN | 00:06 |
| nickrud | togoella yes. Or, you can use system->admin->synaptic for a nice tool. ctl-f opens a search box | 00:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | pirattrev: when you log back in next time, you'll see where it says "this nick is registered, if its your nick.." something like that | 00:06 |
| odder | !cedega | togoella | 00:06 |
| ubotu | togoella: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 00:06 |
| togoella | odder: what's cedega? | 00:06 |
| deniz__ | GIn, i have no idea all i can tell u is its a d-link DI-604 | 00:06 |
| odder | togoella: ^^ :) | 00:06 |
| pirattrev | ok, thanks again | 00:06 |
| tim167 | hellonull: ok, I'll install gftp and see if that brings me luck ... | 00:06 |
| mysterycool | omg | 00:07 |
| hellonull | tim167: i would stick with gftp for that, i'm sure there's a way with terminal-based ftp but i am not aware of it | 00:07 |
| deniz__ | GIn, i have dial-up internet | 00:07 |
| togoella | thanks odder :D | 00:07 |
| togoella | let's see | 00:07 |
| nickrud | tim167 you might want to look at lftp , it's a package that installs a client that supports folders (iirc) | 00:07 |
| mysterycool | if i did ./configure then make and then make install to actuallyget grub working did i mess up the bootloader of ubuntu??! :S | 00:07 |
| deniz__ | GIn, i got the hosting right and on microsofts help website it says to do things on a client comp and on the wizard it says to do stuff like floppy or xp cd to it but its not windows the client its ubuntu so im stuck | 00:07 |
| nickrud | mysterycool you certainly replaced parts of it, whether it's messed up, well .... | 00:07 |
| mysterycool | *to actually get GRUB working did I mess up the boot loader of Ubuntu??! :s | 00:08 |
| mysterycool | oh | 00:08 |
| togoella | wait wait wait | 00:08 |
| togoella | is wine free? | 00:08 |
| charles|64 | hey room | 00:08 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: which means...? :S | 00:08 |
| odder | togoella: as in freedom | 00:08 |
| GIn | deniz__: I think you need a switch and not a router with modem buidlin it | 00:08 |
| togoella | because Cedega is not :| | 00:08 |
| Thib_ | I wish | 00:08 |
| Devrethman | Anybody care to take a look at this http://pastebin.ca/973130 and see if they can see what's up | 00:08 |
| Thib_ | oh you mean the software ;-) | 00:08 |
| Devrethman | cause it looks to me like everything's going fine, then it juse aborts | 00:08 |
| Devrethman | for no apparent reason | 00:08 |
| nickrud | yes. togoella | 00:08 |
| Survivorman | tim167, xcopy moves files and folders i think | 00:08 |
| * Thib_ wishes wine made from grapes was free | 00:08 | |
| GIn | deniz__: you are connected to the internet through a dialup on the xp machine right? | 00:09 |
| deniz__ | GIn, ya | 00:09 |
| togoella | nickrud: then I don't want cedega anymore lol, that's why I thought about linux as open source... | 00:09 |
| togoella | HAHAH | 00:09 |
| GIn | deniz__: and you have internet sharing setup on the xp machine? | 00:09 |
| GIn | deniz__: then you need a switch | 00:09 |
| nickrud | mysterycool you did the compile, you can test it with a reboot (or do sudo apt-get remove --purge grub && sudo apt-get install grub ) | 00:09 |
| nickrud | togoella it is, cedega has some proprietary bits | 00:09 |
| deniz__ | GIn, i have ubuntu also so if i could share using ubuntu and a router tell me plz and firestarter doesnt work | 00:09 |
| GIn | deniz__: I don't know if it is also possible with that dlink router. hang on | 00:09 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: if i remove wont the bootloader of ubuntu be removed? :S | 00:09 |
| tim167 | Survivorman: ok thanks for the suggestion, i just started the transfer with gftp though, works too... | 00:09 |
| deniz__ | GIn, k | 00:09 |
| StPatrick | Everyone, I have great news | 00:10 |
| hellonull | haha Devrethman, nice update command | 00:10 |
| nickrud | mysterycool that's why you immediately reinstall | 00:10 |
| StPatrick | I'm installing Ubuntu!!! | 00:10 |
| HangukMiguk | ok, i think i figured out why my aac files aren't working, but i have a question, is there any way possible to backtrack in repository and install older versions of packages? | 00:10 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: what do u mean immediately reinstall? :S | 00:10 |
| togoella | ok first need I to download wine? right? cedega is like a plugin or im awrong | 00:10 |
| nickrud | mysterycool look at the complete command I gave you | 00:10 |
| GIn | deniz__: connect your laptop to the modem first | 00:10 |
| nickrud | togoella no. you either get cedega or wine | 00:10 |
| GIn | deniz__: do you know how to use the terminal? | 00:11 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: and are u sure it's going to work? :S | 00:11 |
| hexoroid | anybody good with named ? | 00:11 |
| togoella | Cedega is a proprietary product, that must be purchased (currently $5.00 per month with a 3 month minimum initial purchase) | 00:11 |
| GIn | deniz__: I mean the router | 00:11 |
| Devrethman | hellonull:Yeah, it was a joke, he was like "why can't I just say "upgrade mah shit" and make it go" | 00:11 |
| SeveredCross | HangukMiguk: Why do you need to downgrade? | 00:11 |
| togoella | why do you keep saying is free :| | 00:11 |
| deniz__ | GIn, wait, connect my laptop to the modem??? how is that possible?? I have a winmodem with dell's driver for it even tho its not a dell comp | 00:11 |
| SeveredCross | AAC works fine for me in Gutsy and in Hardy | 00:11 |
| Boohbah | togoella: cedega is a distribution of wine with proprietary directx layer and it costs money | 00:11 |
| nickrud | mysterycoolI've fixed my system with with that command more than once ;) | 00:11 |
| GIn | deniz__: I mean the router | 00:11 |
| GIn | ;) | 00:11 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: oh lol good, k then :D | 00:11 |
| mysterycool | ;) | 00:11 |
| mysterycool | :D | 00:11 |
| togoella | I see | 00:12 |
| Boohbah | hexoroid: what's up with named? | 00:12 |
| odder | Boohbah: the SVN version costs $0 | 00:12 |
| HangukMiguk | ServedCross: libfaad2-0 is a cvs version, i need an earlier version to work with gstreamer | 00:12 |
| deniz__ | GIn, the laptop and desktop r connected to the router, ask me questions to c if its connected properly | 00:12 |
| SeveredCross | HangukMiguk: Hmm. | 00:12 |
| GIn | deniz__: do you know how to use the terminal? | 00:12 |
| SeveredCross | That's odd. AAC worked in Gutsy just fine, works in Hardy now too. | 00:12 |
| Boohbah | togoella: <odder> Boohbah: the SVN version costs $0 - so, you can compile it if you want.... | 00:12 |
| odder | togoella: you can get the SVN version of cedega for free, but I'm not sure if it's free software | 00:12 |
| SeveredCross | I just installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. | 00:12 |
| togoella | how do I open a new server window on xchat? | 00:12 |
| Devrethman | togella: IRC->connect | 00:13 |
| deniz__ | GIn, well im not a genius but i can use things like repositoriy downloading and using imagemagick | 00:13 |
| HangukMiguk | ServedCross: AAC works fine in everything except for gstreamer programs | 00:13 |
| mysterycool | nickrud: thank you :D | 00:13 |
| nickrud | togoella xchat->network listing, pick one and click connect button | 00:13 |
| togoella | thanks | 00:13 |
| mysterycool | niickrud: going to reboot and check if it's working :S | 00:13 |
| GIn | deniz__: open the terminal and type ifconfig in. you should see something like eth1 or eth0 . like that | 00:13 |
| mysterycool | *nickrud: going to reboot and check if it's working :S | 00:13 |
| mysterycool | wish me luck all! :D | 00:14 |
| mysterycool | thanks all ;) | 00:14 |
| mysterycool | cya later ;) | 00:14 |
| binarical-app | alperkanat: in the specific instance i needed to configure :/etc/apach2/ports.conf like "Listen 127.0.0.1:80" originally this file comes without the :80 , meaning that the ip address is allowed, however pot 80 where a browser needs to connect could not. i needed to manually configure this file so that port 80 (for http) would be accepted | 00:14 |
| mysterycool | like in a bit | 00:14 |
| alperkanat | amazing... i can reach django app by typing localhost:8000 but i can't reach if typing 192.168.1.2:8000 | 00:14 |

| Frogger626 | Hello again | 00:25 |
| icesword | deniz__, router?it is easy | 00:25 |
| GIn | deniz__: let me explain how the dlink router works. The router has a DSL/Cable modem build into it and the router uses that as it's main connection to the internet and share that to the computer connected to the 4 ethernet ports. | 00:25 |
| Frogger626 | Is there a way to restore the MBR on a computer, or at least make GRUB dual-boot friendly? | 00:25 |
| togoella | how do I use wine | 00:25 |
| togoella | how do I run a program using wine | 00:25 |
| ryanzec | i just did a .configure make and make install for 2.0.16 alsa but my version is still 2.0.15, hwo do i enable it? | 00:26 |
| GIn | but in your case, the internet connection is not from the router but from your xp pc. | 00:26 |
| Frogger626 | Togoella: I ask myself the same question every day. | 00:26 |
| friedtofu | Frogger626 - i thought grub is dualboot friendly :/ | 00:26 |
| RoAkSoAx | togoella, wine prorgam.exe | 00:26 |
| togoella | RoAkSoAx: thanks | 00:26 |
| hellonull | togoella, well first you need a windows program (.exe) to run | 00:26 |
| deniz__ | GIn, well on the part were its spose to get internet i connected it to my ethernet port on my mobo hoping to transmit dial-up to it | 00:26 |
| tyuio | when u plug a usb device how detect the device and give the correct drivers ? | 00:26 |
| Frogger626 | friedtofu: I can't get grub to allow Windows to boot. | 00:26 |
| icesword | togoella, wine /pathto the exe file? | 00:26 |
| tyuio | when u plug a usb device how linux detect the device and give the correct drivers ? | 00:26 |
| hellonull | togoella: if you do torrents, i would recommend instlaling utorrent under wine, as it will give you experience and come in handy too | 00:26 |
| deniz__ | GIn, wat about doing it wireleslly? i have a airlink 101 wireless card in desktop and D-Link DWl-G122 usb adapter | 00:27 |
| softtower | regexp | 00:27 |
| GIn | deniz__: no, a router does not works like that, not the d-link one | 00:27 |
| icesword | Frogger626, windows cannot boot or linux? | 00:27 |
| hvgotcodes | hey should i recompile the stock kernel? | 00:27 |
| GIn | deniz__: if the desktop one can acts as an access point, yes, you can share using that setup. | 00:27 |
| hvgotcodes | meaning: is it lik 386 only and would there be benefit from recompiling? | 00:27 |
| hellonull | togoella, wine "path", where path will start with c: | 00:27 |
| miko3k | hi ... is there any way to fix the splash screen during bootup ? coz it freezes and only way out is alt+f1 ... | 00:27 |
| deniz__ | GIn, wat setup? the wireless one i suggested? | 00:27 |
| GIn | deniz__: but it's much complicated with a switch. | 00:27 |
| Frogger626 | icesword: I can boot linux, what I'm in now. At least, off the CD. I have not attempted a partition. No, I cannot run Windows. | 00:28 |
| GIn | deniz__: yep, the wireless one | 00:28 |
| deniz__ | GIn, i can do it with only wat i have??? | 00:28 |

| hellonull | togoella: it is easiest to just get your .exe (if it is an installer) on the desktop and double click it, it will autmatically launch it in wine | 00:28 |
| GIn | deniz__: if you can make your win xp pc as an accesspoint, it will be easy | 00:28 |

| emma | ellsworth, you might want to try #xchat-gnome | 00:35 |

| deniz__ | GIn, can i plz try to make the hosting work ill test if it works by using a xp machine with the usb d-link to check | 00:35 |
| * binarical-app run dru run | 00:35 | |
| deniz__ | GIn, then ill worry bout ndiswrapper etc another time | 00:35 |
| Scunizi | ellsworth, if you're going to use xchat install the version without the -gnome.. you'll have more features. | 00:36 |
| ellsworth | that chan seems to be dead | 00:36 |
| bod_ | deniz__, i cant find that in my repo's? | 00:36 |

| ellsworth | is that a GUI interface? regular "xchat" that is? | 00:36 |
| alperkanat | binarical-app: hmmm.. 192.168.1.2:8000 works now.. but it can't be reached from outside :) | 00:36 |
| andreferreira_ | ppl im sorry, but sincerily, i can't understand why my answer is the only not answered... | 00:36 |
| GIn | deniz__: o.k try to put the wireless card in windows xp as an accesspoint then | 00:36 |
| emma | ellsworth, yes I use xchat. I think it is excellent. | 00:36 |
| Scunizi | ellsworth, sure.. as backup you might also consider irssi which works on the commandline/terminal.. just in case your gui bombs for some reason you'll still be able to connect and get help | 00:37 |
| togoella | hellonull: yeah is on the desktop | 00:37 |
| emma | there is also a channel for #xchat but I thought you had your heart set on xchat-gnome which is not the same thing | 00:37 |
| ellsworth | got it thnx | 00:37 |
| binarical-app | ellsworth: can you give us some more infromation on the subject , have you googled you problem, prespectivly perhaps there is an alternative solution to your previous setup | 00:37 |

| deniz__ | bod_, thats not the exact page but look in there | 00:37 |
| hellonull | togoella: and that error comes up when you right click the installer and click "open with wine windows emulator"? | 00:37 |
| bod_ | deniz__, is it a gui? | 00:37 |
| === different is now known as Waterloo | ||
| togoella | hellonull: maybe wine wasn't instaleld correctly because I dont' the wine open option | 00:38 |
| deniz__ | bod_, ya its the best video editor there is for linux=the most comparable to adobe premiere pro but apparently the hardest to use but ya it has a gui | 00:38 |
| binarical-app | alperkanat: have you set it on your router? do you know how to do that ? your router has an ip , enter this ip into your browser then enter the login stuff then you should be able to find you way from there..... forward your needed port | 00:38 |
| deniz__ | GIn, r u talking bout my desktop comp now? | 00:38 |

| hellonull | togoella: when you click applications on the top panel, is there a wine menu at the bottom? | 00:40 |
| Scunizi | andreferreira_, there's screem, bluefish, text editor, all in synaptic | 00:40 |
| Paddy_EIRE | forrest: make the panel larger | 00:40 |

| togoella | hellonull: says is already installed | 00:43 |
| binarical-app | yes neither can I :P | 00:43 |
| Scunizi | andreferreira_, not much in the way of that outside of NVU and the kde version (forgot the name but it was a fork of nvu) .. screem and bluefish are mostly hand coding.. but with lots of features | 00:43 |
| === Cahan is now known as rtorrent | ||

| forrest | Paddy_EIRE, yea it sizes them but there is no padding so I'd like them a bit smalle | 00:43 |
| deniz__ | well isnt there apage on wiki that says which cards work well and do wat? | 00:43 |
| Paddy_EIRE | forrest: as I said previously.. :) | 00:43 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, just taking a guess here but sounds like a problem with your floppy drive.. if you don't use it disable it in the bios | 00:44 |
| binarical-app | be right with you | 00:44 |
| forrest | yea but no matter the size of the panel there isn't any padding on the top and bottom | 00:44 |

| punzada | I was confused :P | 00:58 |
| TheTaylorEffect | 8.03 ;) | 00:58 |

| andreferreira_ | thanks for your help people!!! | 00:59 |
| Waterloo | in honor of CERN | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, its best to stick with the ubuntu specific forums/guides/docs also. - It may be that the drivers work and you just cant figure out how to configure the thing with the gnome/kde tools. | 00:59 |
| andreferreira_ | hughs to you ppl | 00:59 |
| emma | Waterloo, did you get that link? Did you fix your monitor problem? | 00:59 |
| andreferreira_ | see you tomorrow | 00:59 |
| Scunizi | deniz__, one of the secrets of google for linux is in the address (www.google.com/linux) will try to orient itself to linux referances only | 00:59 |
| chapocer1 | I am having an issue with being able to access a Firewire external hard drive (ipod) from ubuntu. I do not have a /dev/dv1394 or /dev/raw1394. | 00:59 |
| StPatrick | Dr_willis, Maybe.. thats why Im here, asking for someone's help. | 00:59 |
| togoella | how do I Install the icons? | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | chapocer1, you have a firewire ipod? I thought they were all usb. | 01:00 |
| bogdement | my question is simple : what can i use to delete partition of linux and not destroy mbr partition because i want to run windows | 01:00 |
| Waterloo | emma: yeah i got the link and looked into it. Then my laptop monitor itself didn't work so I am restarting Live CD in safe graphics mode | 01:00 |
| Paddy_EIRE | chapocer1: I'm yet to hear of or see a firewire ipod?? | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, i notice that guide is missing the point that you NEED to INSTALL the C compiler stuff to compile the drivers.. | 01:00 |
| GIn | lol | 01:01 |
| StPatrick | the huh? | 01:01 |
| emma | I'm not sure if that link directly helps. I am not sure if what you are doing is the same as what what was talking about. | 01:01 |
| chapocer1 | Scunizi, its a first gen ipod.. im kickin it old school... if i can get ubuntu to recognize it, its going to get partitioned up and treated as a very crappy external hard drive | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | bogdement, if you are going to install windows it will take over the entire drive and wipe out most everything.. if you want it to. | 01:01 |
| emma | They had dual monitors and it talked about setting the default one. | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, you will at least be wanting to install the C compiler :) otherwise you are not going to be compiling any code at all. | 01:01 |
| StPatrick | =/ | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, install the build-essential package. | 01:01 |
| togoella | How do I install the icons team?? | 01:01 |
| bogdement | i have windows installed already now i am on windows but i want to redistribute the used space from linux | 01:01 |
| StPatrick | build-essential backage.. where can i get that? | 01:01 |
| friedtofu | togoella? icons theme? | 01:01 |
| togoella | yes | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, its in the package manager same as everything else is. | 01:01 |
| bogdement | and i dont want to broke windows or mbr | 01:01 |
| Adry | the Open office's menu has an rare font (shapes, circles...). how can I fix it? | 01:02 |
| Scunizi | chapocer1, ah.. still thought it was usb.. but it might be seen by gparted.. sudo apt-get install gparted. then sudo gparted to run it. | 01:02 |
| friedtofu | togoella: extract the files and put it in your ~/.themes folder | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 01:02 |
| friedtofu | * | 01:02 |
| SilentSounD | anyone know how to disable the "eraser point" mouse for a dell d600 ? | 01:02 |
| StPatrick | Dr_willis, Where is that? Maybe you didnt understand what I meant by new... | 01:02 |
| friedtofu | togoella: extract the files and put it in your ~/.icons folder | 01:02 |
| Waterloo | emma: no :OD I am trying to get a sick laptop to use another monitor as its ONLY visual source...linux like to autodetect the monitors and it wants to pick the broken one. | 01:02 |
| emma | Adry - what do you mean? | 01:02 |
| friedtofu | yeah... second one - ~/.icons folder | 01:02 |
| StPatrick | Dr_willis, What is sudo? | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, if you are so new you dont know how to isntall anything under ubuntu. I suggest reading some of the ubutnu starter guides then. | 01:02 |
| togoella | where is the ~/.icons folder? | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, sudo is a command you use in the shell. | 01:02 |
| chapocer1 | Scunizi, Ubuntu just isn't even recognizing that i have a firewire driver, it seems. | 01:02 |
| friedtofu | it'll be in /home/yourname/.icons - and if it isnt there make it | 01:02 |
| Adry | emma, I can't read the menu because the font is strange | 01:02 |
| StPatrick | Dr_willis, k, gimme a sec. let me see if i can figure out what your talking about. | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, if you have another computer you could MAYBE ssh into it and reconfigure for dual monitors.. | 01:03 |
| friedtofu | with mkdir ~/.icons | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, also the ubuntu book at ---> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=instructor.pdf | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | is a good read for a total beginner. | 01:03 |
| emma | Adry - did you try closing and restarting OO.o ? | 01:03 |
| Waterloo | scunizi: ssh? | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | chapocer1, ipod's have always been difficult.. gtkpod was one program that got ipods working on ubuntu | 01:03 |

| StPatrick | Woo ! Installing, Dr_willis | 01:05 |
| Adry | emma, this morning I installed the new version2.4, but i can't use it. I think is something about languaje setting, but I don't knnow how or where fix it. | 01:05 |
| tyler_d | anyone help me troubleshoot a vpn connection problem? | 01:05 |
| togoella | friedtofu: done now? | 01:05 |
| bogdement | so? | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, i couldent get that source to compile properly here... so it may not work anyway for you | 01:05 |
| emma | Adry - Espanol? | 01:05 |
| Scunizi | boxybrown, easy.. partimage will mirror the partition and allow you to put it back on the new drive .. then you'll have to go in with parted or gparted and "expand" the partition. | 01:05 |
| Adry | yes | 01:05 |
| schlort | maynards-girl: amarok or its gnome counterpart - exaile are great | 01:05 |
| perhamlinux | maynards-girl, xmms is a good choice. apt-get update && apt-get install xmms | 01:05 |
| emma | You might try in #ubuntu-es | 01:05 |
| boxybrown | ok thanks Scunizi thats what i thought | 01:05 |
| StPatrick | Dr_willis, *tear* | 01:05 |

| Adry | nobody answer my question | 01:06 |
| bogdement | you didnt answer on my question | 01:06 |
| friedtofu | togoella: you put the folder for your icons theme in that .icons folder? - just go to the gnome settings and go select that icon theme | 01:06 |
| bogdement | i have windows installed already now i am on windows but i want to redistribute the used space from linux | 01:06 |
| maynards-girl | schlort, what is the gnome conterpart? | 01:06 |
| bogdement | and i dont want to broke windows or mbr | 01:06 |
| schlort | maynards-girl: exaile* | 01:06 |
| friedtofu | or rather in this case - appearances -> and then change the icons... from customize or something | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, its also likely that the next release of ubuntu will fix your wireless problems. its due out in a few weeks. | 01:06 |
| maynards-girl | schlort, thanks. i'll try it now | 01:07 |

| Jordan_U | bogdement, Are you trying to make Windows smaller to make room for Ubuntu or get rid of Ubuntu to make more room for windows? | 01:07 |
| nickrud | bogdement not sure what you mean, you want to remove ubuntu and give the space back to windows? | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | bogdement, so you're getting rid of Ubuntu... and you wan't to use the empty space for windows.. I suggest joining ##windows and ask there since you'll be using windows tools. If grub is still installed they can help reinstall the win MBR | 01:07 |

| Waterloo | ubuntu to install | 01:08 |
| emma | Waterloo, I think in order to change the monitor you have to edit the x.org conf file. | 01:08 |
| StPatrick | Jordan_U, Im not sure how to get that information, but someone else told me it's a Realtek RTL8187b, and the chipset is RTL8187 | 01:08 |

| Waterloo | Emma: I dont know. This laptop was given to me | 01:10 |

| Scunizi | Waterloo, from the terminal you can usually find out by typing lspci which lists all devices connected to the pci buss. | 01:10 |

| StPatrick | hischild, Version of.. what | 01:15 |
| hischild | Scunizi, it's mainly that i have a headache and could use some oversight :P | 01:15 |
| hischild | StPatrick, your version of your wlan card. | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | hischild, must be contagious.. me too.. bad ear.. allergies.. etc.. | 01:16 |
| hischild | StPatrick, do you have a rtl8187b? | 01:16 |
| StPatrick | hischild, As far as I know. How can I check it out? My laptop is an A205-S5800, but i never found any good solid info on the wifi card online. | 01:16 |
| GIn | deniz__, google? try to help on the Ubuntu forum? | 01:16 |
| bobbo85 | Hi all, it seems that mplayer is changing the entire computer's volume for some reason. For example, if I'm listening to music in Amarok/Rhythmbox and watching a movie with mplayer - if I turn the volume down in mplayer, the music gets turned down too... what's the problem? | 01:16 |
| Zelta | if I have set a manual connection (using ndiswrapper), how can I check my wifi receiving speed? | 01:16 |
| GIn | deniz__, I have never tried to setup an accesspoint with Ubuntu before. | 01:17 |
| hischild | StPatrick, lspci or lsusb should give some info. type it in a terminal and throw it to a pastebin. I'll figure out what card you have if it's listed k? | 01:17 |
| kindofabuzz | woot! how 'bout dem tigers! | 01:17 |
| kindofabuzz | =) | 01:17 |
| nickrud | bobbo85 gutsy doesn't have per app sound control, hardy is rumored to have it, and is going to be released in a few weeks | 01:17 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Ok. ( I learned what pastebin is lastnight... ) | 01:17 |
| hischild | Scunizi, well standing about 4 meters from a speaker at a festival is a bad way to get it | 01:17 |
| hischild | StPatrick, do you know the pastebinit trick? | 01:17 |
| Scunizi | StPatrick, hischild the toshiba a200 series has a Intel® PRO/Wireless* 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g) | 01:17 |
| bobbo85 | nickrud, to be honest i'm running hardy, i just noticed this problem was around in gutsy too so it's not a problem for the ubuntu+1 channel really | 01:18 |
| deniz______ | GIn, k, ill check the forums, thx for ur time | 01:18 |
| GIn | np | 01:18 |
| StPatrick | hischild, No... I dont know a trick | 01:18 |
| Scunizi | hischild, ouch | 01:18 |
| nickrud | bobbo85 you should ask in there, I've seen a lot of discussion about the new pulseaudio setup | 01:18 |
| bobbo85 | ok cool | 01:18 |
| hischild | StPatrick, ok. Install pastebinit and then pipe the output to it. It'll give you a link which is the pastebin with whatever you piped to it. | 01:19 |
| StPatrick | hischild, See now, Dont go listening to scun too fast.. cause he might be wrong. | 01:19 |
| boxybrown | anyone with mail server experience dovecot or courier? | 01:19 |
| hischild | StPatrick, Scunizi, i haven't followed the entire story so far. Scunizi how do you know his card? | 01:19 |
| Scunizi | StPatrick, hischild http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?coid=-33536&seg=HHO&src=MAXG&cm_mmc=google_sem-_-direct-_-satellite_a205-_-a205&gclid=CLXg5KWUxZICFQEhgwodv0bzbg | 01:19 |
| StPatrick | hischild, http://pastebin.ca/973259 | 01:19 |
| bobbo85 | the reason i ask is this - I love VLC media player, and wish I could use it for all videos - the problem I've been having is that it takes forever to seek! If I try to skip ahead a few seconds, the video will freeze, the audio will continue, and when the video catches up a few seconds later, it's all distorted for a few seconds before returning to normal - mplayer doesn't seem to have this problem | 01:19 |
| Scunizi | StPatrick, hischild I just googled the model number he posted. | 01:20 |
| bobbo85 | is there any way to make VLC "seek" instantly like other media players? | 01:20 |
| StPatrick | Scunizi, Nice... I did that too.. didnt get that page.. | 01:20 |
| Scunizi | StPatrick, top link :) | 01:20 |
| hischild | Scunizi, alright thanks. | 01:21 |
| StPatrick | not when i searched, lol | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, iv noticed a lot of that depends on the exact video codec/format. but i tend touse gmplayer mainly now a days | 01:21 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Uhh pastebinit is not listed in add/remove | 01:21 |
| StPatrick | but still, http://pastebin.ca/973259 | 01:21 |
| bobbo85 | Dr_willis, what video players do you have/recommend? and has anyone tried "Beep" yet? | 01:21 |
| hischild | StPatrick, might be so. Use synaptic. And thanks | 01:21 |
| StPatrick | what's synaptic? | 01:21 |
| StPatrick | bobbo85, I HIGHLY reccomend VLC. | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, beepmediaplayer is more of a audio player. not video | 01:22 |
| hischild | StPatrick, system -> administration -> synaptic | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, vlc uses its own codec stuff I think. while gmplayer uses the w32codecs I belive is the main diff. | 01:22 |
| hischild | StPatrick, advanced version of the add/remove software thing. | 01:22 |
| Scunizi | StPatrick, just checked and it's in synaptic | 01:22 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Ok | 01:22 |
| Scunizi | StPatrick, use the search key and search for pastebin and you'll see it | 01:22 |
| hischild | StPatrick, while you're at it, search for this one and tell me if it has a green thing in front of it linux-restricted-modules-generic | 01:22 |
| bobbo85 | Dr_willis, where can I get gmplayer? | 01:23 |
| Waterloo | now I know it sounds nuts - but what if I wanted to install windows onto a hardrive that is all linux? | 01:23 |
| xfa | how can i control the headphones and the speakers seperatly? | 01:23 |
| PwrSurge | hi, I been having this constant problem where ssh connections to my freebsd server keep being disconnected after 5 mins | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, its in the repos.. same as everything else | 01:23 |
| PwrSurge | from my xubuntu machine | 01:23 |
| orbisvicis | my computer wont halt, it gets stuck in /etc/rc0.d/S60umountroot stop | 01:24 |
| hischild | PwrSurge, it's a default timeout. Adjust the timeout on the ssh server. | 01:24 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Linux-restricted-mod has green box | 01:24 |
| PwrSurge | it's not my freebsd server because the connection is stable from my other windows machine | 01:24 |
| bobbo85 | Dr_willis, do you mean "gnome-mplayer" ? | 01:24 |
| Zelta | if I have set a manual connection (using ndiswrapper), how can I check my wifi receiving speed? | 01:24 |
| hischild | StPatrick, hmm ... *searches on* | 01:24 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, you can do that.. just make room and be prepared to reinstall grub.. it get's wiped out.. on the other hand if you're not going to run any 3d games,, use VMWare server and put it there.. that avoids dual boot. | 01:24 |
| SilentSounD | anyone know how to disable the "eraser point" mouse for a dell d600 - ALPS GlidePoint | 01:24 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Installing pastebinit | 01:24 |
| niko_ | does anyone know how to fix the collection scan on amarok? i get the "building collection database" and it won't go away | 01:24 |
| PwrSurge | it's not timeout, i had my ssh session with "top" | 01:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogzoo: did you get your issues worked out? | 01:24 |
| Ltp0wer | Hello all | 01:24 |
| PwrSurge | so the screen was being refreshed every 2 seconds | 01:24 |
| alexbobp | I'm having a problem with mounting isos for large dvds. When I try to access files near the end of the disk, I get errors like "cat: setup.exe: Input/output error". In "dmesg | tail", I see [333026.466404] attempt to access beyond end of device / [333026.466410] loop3: rw=0, want=7076300, limit=6205528". It tends to work when I use the physical DVD in the drive, and for some ISOs, they only work if I use certain mount points. Does anybod | 01:24 |
| Waterloo | Scunizi: what is grub? and this is the first i've heard of a VMware server | 01:25 |
| hischild | StPatrick, can you tell me if >>> lsmod | grep ipw <<< gives you output? | 01:25 |
| xfa | configuring my headphone output and speakers seperatly? | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, thats where the g in gmplayer comes from. :) | 01:25 |
| PwrSurge | i have keepalive on every 20 seconds | 01:25 |
| orbisvicis | do most people have umountroot in init ? | 01:25 |
| orbisvicis | at S60 in rc0.d ? | 01:25 |
| StPatrick | mhm | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, kmplayer is the kde front end for mplayer, g is the gnome front end. smplayer is some other front end. | 01:25 |
| pyrak | Waterloo, grub is the bootloader. | 01:26 |
| hischild | PwrSurge, one way traffic from the server to the client isn't counted as active. | 01:26 |
| metbsd | i thought kmplayer is some player on windows | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, you probably don't see grub because there is not other os on the system.. it's a boot manager and lets you choose between different os installs. VMware server loads in Ubuntu and allows you to install windows "in a window" so you can run windows like any other program but totally isolated (virus protection). | 01:26 |
| DistroJockey | xfa: take a look at alsamixer in a terminal | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | metbsd, not that ive seen.. thers mplayer for windows also. | 01:26 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Also, I like another chat, because Im trying to copy stuff you say to me, and it keeps getting scrolled off screen....... Im slow. | 01:26 |
| metbsd | what's difference between vmware server and vmware workstation? | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | metbsd, grabbed it from the mplayer homepage the other day | 01:26 |
| hischild | StPatrick, you can just select the text i give you and middle mouse click on the terminal to paste it :-) | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | metbsd, with workstation you cant make new virtual machines I belive. I always use the server | 01:27 |
| StPatrick | nothing from lsmod | grep ipw | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | hischild, how is pastbinit used from terminal? and does it default to the mentioned pastebin listed for this channel? | 01:27 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Yea... uhh Im using a touchpad. | 01:27 |
| metbsd | yes, i can make new virt machine with workstation | 01:27 |
| Waterloo | Scunizi: what is the range on programs that can run in a VMware window? no 3d games you say huh? | 01:27 |
| niko_ | does anyone know how to fix the collection scan on amarok? i get the "building collection database" and it won't go away | 01:27 |
| mophead | stpatrick: to paste to terminal, try shift + ctrl + v | 01:27 |
| SkinnYPupp | Middle mouse click paste to terminal learn somethin everyday | 01:27 |
| PwrSurge | ok | 01:27 |
| Ltp0wer | Will I have a problem with ubuntu and my 8800GTX | 01:27 |
| StPatrick | mophead, Thanks. | 01:27 |
| jblack | Did anybody do a hardy update today, and found they can't hit sites like google.com and ubuntu.com ? | 01:28 |
| mophead | to copy, replace V with C | 01:28 |
| niko_ | highlight what oyu want and click the wheel where you want sometihng | 01:28 |
| xfa | how do i get there | 01:28 |
| xfa | als | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, yep.. no 3d games, the vid driver is generic and won't do glx.. but pretty much everything else.. I use it all the time. how much ram do you have? | 01:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | StPatrick: you can always also turn on logging, then just copy/paste at your leisure | 01:28 |
| hischild | Scunizi, the default pastebin is not this one unfortunately as for some reason it's incompatible so far. However it works by piping it info from a command. Try to cat a file and then add | pastebinit | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | jblack, They work here for me. | 01:28 |
| hischild | StPatrick, try hitting both mouse buttons. That should give a middle mouse button click. | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | hischild, then how do you get a link?. I'll try. | 01:29 |
| PwrSurge | what setting do i need to adjust exactly? | 01:29 |
| Waterloo | Scunizi: 2 gigs | 01:29 |
| charles|64_ | hey guys | 01:29 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Thanks. | 01:29 |
| mophead | jblack, try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 01:29 |
| jblack | Huh. I cant browse a lot of stuff. I can't hit google, I can't hit ubuntu.com. I just get an assertion that ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file! | 01:29 |
| hischild | Scunizi, that's what it gives you. | 01:29 |
| PwrSurge | and why is only my ubuntu machine affecteed? | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, your fine with that.. that's what I have. | 01:29 |
| charles|64_ | is there a way to make a symbolic link between to folders | 01:29 |
| charles|64_ | ? | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | hischild, cool.. that just made using irssi much easier. :) | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | charles|64_, ln -s whatever whatever2 | 01:29 |
| orbisvicis | charles__, ln -s /location /area | 01:29 |
| orbisvicis | charles__, = charles|64_ | 01:29 |
| legend2440 | orbisvicis: i do | 01:29 |
| orbisvicis | my bad | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | it always takes me 2 tries to get links right. :) | 01:30 |
| Frustation | who have install need for speed most wanted ? | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | !appdb | Frustation | 01:30 |
| ubotu | Frustation: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 01:30 |
| GIn | Frustation: me but on windows | 01:30 |
| orbisvicis | Dr_willis, me too, i can never remember | 01:30 |
| charles|64_ | heres what im trying to do, I have a NAS that i want limewire to download to. when i use the fstab to mount that share on the NAS it crashes | 01:30 |
| Frustation | Because i have a big problem ! When i want to start Need For speed most wanted with CEDEGA my screen is back | 01:30 |
| Waterloo | Scunizi: wouldn't I have to reformat a part of my drive back into NTFS? | 01:30 |
| Frustation | is black | 01:30 |
| Mystik7 | does anyone have a link that explains how to properly install firefox nightlies into 8.04? | 01:30 |
| StPatrick | Frustation, Is it the NFSMW Black edition? :P | 01:31 |
| niko_ | is the actual 8.05 out now? | 01:31 |
| hischild | StPatrick, ok. Another copy for you ==> sudo modprobe ipw3945 | 01:31 |
| Frustation | StPatrick: it's not good for me :( | 01:31 |
| niko_ | or still alpha or beta? | 01:31 |
| troxor | niko_: no | 01:31 |
| hischild | StPatrick, if it fails, type dmesg and pastebin me the last few lines. | 01:31 |
| niko_ | when will it be? | 01:31 |
| Frustation | StPatrick: it's too bad :( | 01:31 |
| GIn | Frustation: try with desktop effects off | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | charles|64_, you may want to check out the fusesmb tools, instead of mountign the share, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 01:31 |
| troxor | niko_: niko_ couple weeks | 01:31 |
| jblack | Ok. Found it. I had another copy of firefox running on another window. So, if people say they can't google, tell them to make sure they really closed firefox. ;) | 01:31 |
| Frustation | Gin i have do that | 01:31 |
| niko_ | ty | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | Waterloo, nope.. VMWare uses files to make windows think that it is in a normal drive partition.. so if you wanted to get rid of it.. you just delete the files and it's GONE. It will also let you install other OS's to try out | 01:31 |
| bobbo85 | Thanks Dr_willis I just installed Gmplayer, it's strange though it will open the movie (a .wmv file) but it wont play it just stays paused on whatever frame I seek to (and it says "playing") | 01:32 |
| niko_ | what improvements will tehre be? | 01:32 |
| Ltp0wer | newbie here, will I have a problem with my 8800GTX and drivers in ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| hischild | Ltp0wer, it should be fine | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, i make it a point to not touch wmv files. :) they can be all sorts of weird-spyware-virusware codecs. | 01:32 |
| Ltp0wer | Sweet, thank you hischild | 01:32 |
| bobbo85 | The same file works slowly in VNC, is choppy and awful in "Movie player" but works perfectly in "mplayer" - i just can't control the sound without affecting all other sounds | 01:32 |
| Ltp0wer | But if you are wrong, I am going to complain and insult your mother | 01:32 |
| StPatrick | hischild, How do i use the pastebin thing i downloaded? | 01:32 |
| bobbo85 | Dr_willis, can I convert them to another video format? | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | Ltp0wer, on the current version (gutsy) you might have to install the nvidia binary driver.. on the next version coming out the end of this month it will more than likely be included. | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, could try converting the video to some other format I guess. avidmux is the tool i use for that. or mencoder | 01:33 |
| hischild | StPatrick, add | pastebinit to the command you want to put on pastebin. To try ==> dmesg | pastebinit | 01:33 |
| Zelta | if I have set a manual connection (using ndiswrapper), how can I check my wifi receiving speed? | 01:33 |
| Frustation | who can help me ? :( | 01:33 |
| niko_ | does anyone know how to fix the collection scan on amarok? i get the "building collection database" and it won't go away | 01:33 |
| Ltp0wer | Scunizi, Where can I find the nvidia binary driver? On the nvidia site? | 01:33 |
| metbsd | vmware server is slower than workstation | 01:33 |
| StPatrick | http://paste.stgraber.org/2306 | 01:33 |
| Dr_willis | Ltp0wer, the restricted-manager tool installed them for me. | 01:33 |
| unocrash | hey all! | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | Ltp0wer, yes.. there's lots of how to's on how to install it.. read lots.. do once.. :) | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | Ltp0wer, should be an icon at the top right for it. | 01:34 |
| FnordPerfect | hi everybody! I fubar'd my installation by downgrading to gutsy. could someone lend a hand? it seems that the root partition does not get re-mounted rw during boot. | 01:34 |
| hischild | StPatrick, what error did it give you? | 01:34 |
| BysmuthMage | okay so I'm in the process of installing Ubuntu on an external hard drive. I disconnected the main drive just to make sure the install doesn't touch it. This has caused a (potential) problem: The external drive is now named sda instead of sdb. If I install this based on the external drive = sda and then reconnect the main drive, bumping the external drive to sdb, will there be a conflict, like in /etc/fstab? | 01:34 |
| Ltp0wer | Dr_willis, I am on vista right now | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | Ltp0wer, you have my sympathy. :) | 01:34 |
| StPatrick | hischild, ERROR: Could not find Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection | 01:34 |
| Scunizi | Dr_willis, I don't think the restriced drivers manager has the 8800 included.. it came out after gutsy did if I remember correctly. | 01:34 |
| boxybrown | Ltp0wner mine to | 01:34 |
| hischild | BysmuthMage, ubuntu uses UUID's. It should be fine. | 01:34 |
| metbsd | Dr_willis: vmware workstation is better. vmware server turns on alot debug mode, so it's slower, | 01:34 |
| hischild | StPatrick, hmm ... seems like we have to get it somewhere else. Second please. | 01:35 |
| Devrethman | anybody have StepMania working on ubuntu? | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, i have an 8800 card here.. and it worked for my 8800GTSXXX card. | 01:35 |
| StPatrick | k | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, but youa re correct - it can depend on the exact 8800 card | 01:35 |
| Scunizi | metbsd, Dr_willis but vmware workstation is $'s.. server is Free | 01:35 |
| BysmuthMage | oh right... totally forgot about that I'm so used to the thumb drives borking themselves when I manually put them into /etc/fstab that I didn't even think about that | 01:35 |
| BysmuthMage | thanks | 01:35 |
| Scunizi | Dr_willis, oh.. didn't know that.. good to hear. | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, there is a free verison of both i thought | 01:35 |
| unocrash | when's hardy out? | 01:36 |
| coskund | heya | 01:36 |
| Scunizi | Dr_willis, I know server is free.. but thought workstation was a paid version.. check the site www.vmware.com | 01:36 |
| Scunizi | unocrash, end of this month | 01:36 |
| unocrash | kk | 01:36 |
| coskund | hey | 01:36 |
| Mystik7 | I downloaded the firefox nightly today, untar it into /opt (which creates /opt/firefox) then chown -R root /opt/firefox, now I am confused on the firefox.sh script, it says the lib dir is in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b4, do I need to change the shell script to point to /opt/firefox for the lib? | 01:36 |
| emma | I'm waiting to see a problem that I can possibly help with. :) | 01:36 |
| kitche | Scunizi: yeah workstation you have to pay for but most are starting to use server if they want to use workstation | 01:36 |
| unocrash | !hi | coskund | 01:36 |
| ubotu | coskund: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, used to be workstation was in the repos. | 01:36 |
| coskund | tenx | 01:37 |
| softtower | how do I tell from a command line how much ram a process is using? "top" won't work because of two reasons: a) it shows percentage of total, and b) the process I am interested in isn't in the list top is showing me. | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, i always use the server version, so i rarely mess ith workstation | 01:37 |
| Scunizi | Dr_willis, just player in ther now. | 01:37 |
| bobbo85 | ok Dr_willis I have avidemux installed, how do I convert a .wmv to a .avi file? | 01:37 |
| mophead | !ubotu | coskund | 01:37 |
| ubotu | coskund: 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 | 01:37 |
| hischild | StPatrick, would you mind if i give you a link from someone on the forums who says they have fixed it, along with a perfect description and then run off to get sleep? | 01:37 |
| pollito | -- To Pollito: just ask youe question here :) I'll be leaving now. Talk to me by pm here on IRC...gah | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, i must not understand how 'workstation' differes from 'player' then | 01:37 |
| StPatrick | bobbo85, Did you try VLC Media player? | 01:37 |
| unocrash | coskund: May We help you? | 01:37 |
| Devrethman | also, is there a quick and dirty configurator for NFS or some other form of linux-linux filesharing? | 01:37 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Yes, but ill still try it. | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | bobbo85, run the program. read its docs/guides.. convert :) | 01:38 |
| FnordPerfect | I'm just sitting in front of the 80x25 text terminal that my ubuntu has become, and I am losing my mind... could *someone* | 01:38 |
| hischild | StPatrick, the link ==> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=837922&postcount=7 | 01:38 |
| FnordPerfect | *help* ? | 01:38 |
| StPatrick | hischild, I have read over so many things that say I fixed it, or confirmed, or works, or whatever, and failed miserably.... | 01:38 |
| prettyricky | I suggest vlc player thats just my opinion, whats perfectly | 01:38 |
| bobbo85 | StPatrick, VLC media plays the file, but it will not seek - if i try to skip ahead at all, it "lags" for a few seconds at a time | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | Dr_willis, they may have renamed it player.. server allows you to install a full OS from cd instead of being locked into "appliances" | 01:38 |
| hischild | StPatrick, if you have help, you can always call at the channel. And this one seems fairly solid. | 01:38 |
| unocrash | !patience | FnordPerfect | 01:38 |
| ubotu | FnordPerfect: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:38 |
| [Rocc] | Hello | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | Scunizi, that dosent make much sence they wouls charge for player,and give away server free. when it does everything the player does. | 01:38 |
| StPatrick | hischild, So i doubt this will be better, BUT You have aslready helped me a lot, and i know you need sleep, so, thank you | 01:38 |
| unocrash | [Rocc] Hi | 01:39 |
| [Rocc] | I need help :( | 01:39 |
| pyrak | ok, installing postfix and dovecot looks _extremely_ complicated | 01:39 |
| unocrash | !hi | [Rocc] | 01:39 |
| ubotu | [Rocc]: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:39 |
| hischild | StPatrick, if i'm around tomorrow, feel free to give me a shout and remember me to help you out then. | 01:39 |
| pyrak | is there an easier way? | 01:39 |
| emma | softtower, maybe try ps aux|less | 01:39 |
| unocrash | ok | 01:39 |
| hischild | StPatrick, good luck and see you soon. | 01:39 |
| unocrash | what's the problem? | 01:39 |
| niko_ | does anyone know how to fix the collection scan on amarok? i get the "building collection database" and it won't go away | 01:39 |
| softtower | emma: thanks, lemme try. | 01:39 |
| StPatrick | hischild, Thanks man. Sleep well. | 01:39 |
| mophead | !ask | [Rocc] | 01:39 |
| ubotu | [Rocc]: 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. :-) | 01:39 |
| hischild | StPatrick, will do. bb | 01:39 |

| Scunizi | Dr_willis, nooooo... not what I meant.. there is a workstation version available..for enterprise..paid.. player uses appliances.. server is free and allows installs | 01:40 |
| unocrash | [Rocc] | 01:40 |
| unocrash | whats the problem? | 01:40 |
| [Rocc] | Um, ok... i just downloaded the desktop version (7.10) and im trying to install it and i cant find where to install it at.... | 01:40 |
| niko_ | set to boot from cd in the bios | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], you burnt the iso to cd.. booted it? see icons on the live-cd desktop? | 01:40 |
| Acomaco | how big is an integer normaly? its not 2^32? | 01:41 |
| [Rocc] | yeah, i burnt it... and i cant find the bios... | 01:41 |
| unocrash | [Rocc]: Boot to the CD. To do that depends on the computer. Dell usually has you hit the F12 key, while apple requires you to hit the c key i think. | 01:41 |
| niko_ | push delete during the bootup | 01:41 |
| [Rocc] | its a hp | 01:41 |
| niko_ | repeatedly | 01:41 |
| niko_ | or one of the f keys | 01:41 |
| unocrash | !bios | [Rocc] | 01:41 |
| n-iCe | how do I get the last msn version I can't get it installed :< | 01:41 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bios - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:41 |
| charles|64_ | so im trying to create a read write mount and then link it to the music | 01:41 |
| metbsd | linux does not work well on laptops, my experience | 01:42 |
| rootlinuxusr | does on mine | 01:42 |
| niko_ | runs fine on my laptop | 01:42 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], how did you burn it? what files are on the cd? if you see a single .iso file on the cd.. you burnt it wrongly | 01:42 |
| Devrethman | dumb question: how do I burn data DVDs | 01:42 |
| n-iCe | !amsn | 01:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:42 |
| emma | metbsd seems to work well on thinkpads | 01:42 |
| Devrethman | like, what program do I use | 01:42 |
| niko_ | get double the time as xp with 40 processes | 01:42 |
| Mystik7 | do I like the firefox command to the /opt/firefox.sh shell script? to get it to run from that location? or do I use the dpkg util to alter the link? | 01:42 |
| Mystik7 | like=link | 01:42 |
| [Rocc] | um dr there is only 1 iso, thats the one i got from the site.... | 01:42 |
| Dr_willis | metbsd, i find ubuntu works better on my latop then any disrto ive tried. It beats XP that used to be on it. :) | 01:42 |
| === billisnice_____ is now known as billisnice | ||
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], congratulations.. you burnt it wrongly. | 01:42 |
| niko_ | did you burn it as an iso or just files? | 01:42 |
| tarelerulz | any of you know about chat networks that use flash player ? If so how to you set your sound up ? | 01:42 |
| unocrash | n-Ice: MSN is not made for Linux. You can, however, use pidgin, gaim, amsn, or Emensce | 01:43 |
| [Rocc] | iso | 01:43 |
| [Rocc] | why? | 01:43 |
| mophead | n-iCe, go to applications, add/remove and look up msn. I think there is a linux version | 01:43 |
| niko_ | or wine msn lol | 01:43 |
| n-iCe | unocrash: amsn I meant | 01:43 |
| sailaway85 | Hi everyone | 01:43 |
| [Rocc] | i havent done this before.... | 01:43 |
| unocrash | Hi! | 01:43 |
| Renardp | When I try to run a program I have the following error ... Received a second signal - exiting | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], track down a specific tool for windows to burn iso images to cd. :) like 'burn at once' or a dozen others... | 01:43 |
| osxdude|laptop | ugh | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], do Not use the windows drag/drop to cd to burn method. | 01:43 |
| [Rocc] | i didnt | 01:43 |
| metbsd | using linux, my laptop webcam, card reader, and Fn keys don't work anymore | 01:43 |
| niko_ | use power iso or something | 01:43 |
| [Rocc] | i burnt it from a program | 01:43 |
| niko_ | as an iso | 01:44 |
| metbsd | so linux is not good for my laptop | 01:44 |
| chapocero | how do i find out what the label is for a certain Firewire device? i only have one hard disk installed (sda).. i think its going to be sdb, but what is the command to check? | 01:44 |
| [Rocc] | i used active iso | 01:44 |
| StPatrick | Ok, Someone save me,. I'm running into problems again | 01:44 |
| unocrash | [Rocc]: theres a program called ISO Burner. Let me get you the website. | 01:44 |
| n-iCe | unocrash: how do I get the last version? | 01:44 |
| rootlinuxusr | only my wireless doesn't work on a dell insp. 1721 | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], you need to use the 'burn image' options not making a normal cd like you would with picutre or other files. | 01:44 |
| SlimG | Anyone here know of a Ubuntu(ish) WordPress theme (not Udienz's tango theme)? | 01:44 |
| [Rocc] | i did dr... | 01:44 |
| sailaway85 | Ultraiso is a great program | 01:44 |
| mophead | stpatrick, that sounds dangerous. what happened? | 01:44 |
| rootlinuxusr | ultraiso is good | 01:44 |
| Mystik7 | I eated my cd | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], you did it wrong then.. otherwise there wouldent be a single .iso on the cd. | 01:44 |
| [Rocc] | how many would there be then? | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], several 1000+ files. | 01:45 |
| StPatrick | mophead, Im following the instrustions, as best i can on http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=837922&postcount=7 | 01:45 |
| sailaway85 | Whats a good dvix converter ... to dvd | 01:45 |
| StPatrick | mophead let me know when you get there, and I'll tell you where im having trouble. | 01:45 |
| [Rocc] | lemme check it again | 01:45 |
| rootlinuxusr | i made you a cd, but i eated it? | 01:45 |
| metbsd | is there ultraiso on linux? | 01:45 |
| unocrash | [Rocc]: | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], so try 'burn at once' or 'ultraiso' or 'isoburner' or proberly a dozen other tools out that can do ut with a simple double click. | 01:45 |
| punzada | sailaway85, | 01:45 |
| punzada | best solution i found for that was using ffmpeg to transcode into mpeg2 | 01:46 |
| [Rocc] | yeah there is more then 1 | 01:46 |
| [Rocc] | lol | 01:46 |
| sailaway85 | Yes punzada | 01:46 |
| mophead | stpatrick, ok I see it. what's causing trouble? | 01:46 |
| boxybrown | how would you add a user using a setup as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MySQLVirtualEmail | 01:46 |
| StPatrick | Attention : Anyone Willing to PLEASE help me get my wireless working, Im creating #HelpStPat Please join, so we can discuss without interruption. | 01:46 |

| metbsd | btw, office2007 is really nice too | 01:46 |
| [Rocc] | k | 01:46 |
| Scunizi | metbsd, no need for it.. k3b works great for all burning as well as gnomebaker | 01:46 |
| unocrash | [Rocc] http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm There should be onl0y one file. That file should be an .iso file. Use the program on the website (V2 for XP/2003 or V3 for Vista all versions) | 01:46 |
| tarelerulz | sailaway85 can turn an .avi which holds divx video to a dvd mpg2 file that will work on a stand alone dvd playt it all can put menus on the dvd | 01:47 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: it should say in the bottom right corner at the HP splash screen | 01:47 |

| unocrash | I got to restart | 01:51 |
| Mystik7 | I wonder if there will be kernel support for Realtek 8187b soon | 01:51 |

| Dr_willis | :) | 01:51 |
| [Rocc] | Um | 01:51 |
| [Rocc] | didnt work | 01:51 |
| Frogger626 | Um, the fac someone gave me, about the GRUB problem didn't work. I didn't find those settings in my BIOS. | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | Mystik7, you see the guy in #ubuntu asking about that card also ? | 01:51 |
| bnex10 | BRB going to restart X | 01:52 |

| orbisvicis | kitche, but:$ runlevel | 01:52 |

| Frogger626 | ermmm... | 01:52 |
| methods | what package has the expect program ? | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | Mystik7, i wonder if the live cd would be a good test to see. | 01:52 |
| [Rocc] | Is there any other way i could do it? | 01:53 |
| Mystik7 | Dr_willis: I am running latest test kernel, but I don't want to uninstall ndiswrpper just to see | 01:53 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: so you can tell it to boot from cd, but it just isn't? | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | Mystik7, heh - i dont even have a wireless card. :) | 01:53 |
| [Rocc] | umm | 01:53 |

| kitche | style23: it will but it will have some really odd version number | 01:54 |
| [Rocc] | hmmm | 01:54 |
| [Rocc] | is there any other way? | 01:54 |
| [Rocc] | i just entered "setup" | 01:55 |
| style23 | kitche it says 2.0.0.13 | 01:55 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: you didn't answer my question. And if you are speaking to me, you should put my name in the reply | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | [Rocc], on some machines theres a real fast 'hit F10 (or other) to select boot disk' item. | 01:55 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: ok, goto where you can change the boot order | 01:55 |
| Survivorman | style23, did you close your browser windows first, then open another instnace. | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: hmm, mine is hit esc.. | 01:56 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, im there... | 01:56 |
| style23 | survivorman I restarted the computer | 01:56 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: cool, you see something about booting? | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, esc here goes to the bios screen, F10 has its own 'select boot disk/cd/usb' menu :) which is handy | 01:56 |
| Frustation | hello i have a problem with need for speed most wanted :( he don't want to run | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: oh ok.. , | 01:56 |

| Survivorman | did you uninstall firefox 2? It might have another command to open it. | 01:56 |
| rootlinuxusr | any basic guides for compiz that work on dell integrated x1270 ati cards? I really wanna see what I'm missing out on. | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, check the cedega forums yet? | 01:57 |
| style23 | nope I didn't uninstall firefox2 | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | rootlinuxusr: i'll tell you, nothing. | 01:57 |
| kitche | style23: anyways firefox 3 uses firefox-devel as the command to start it | 01:57 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, I get Removable device, IDE Hard Drive, ATAPO CD-ROM, Other Boot Device... | 01:57 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: when you do, put cd/dvd first then HDD second | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ati | rootlinuxusr you need to get your ati driver working, the you can install compiz | 01:57 |
| ubotu | rootlinuxusr you need to get your ati driver working, the you can install compiz: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:57 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: i have buy cedega and the game can't run my game ! :( | 01:57 |

| style23 | kitche do you type that command somewhere | 01:58 |
| Frustation | bnex10: NFS most wanted | 01:58 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, what? | 01:58 |
| Frustation | TransGaming Cedega Version 6.0.2 | 01:58 |
| Survivorman | you can install cedega for free through svn | 01:58 |
| kitche | style23: in the terminal | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, You just said you were using cedega... theres a free demo of cedega also I think. | 01:58 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: so it would be: ATAPO CD-ROM, IDE Hard Drive, Removable device, Other Boot Device | 01:58 |
| style23 | kitche whats the whoe command | 01:58 |
| Mystik7 | does anyone know if there any apps similar to street atlas for ubuntu, that can use usb GPS? | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, and the wine appdb may have info on that specific game | 01:58 |

| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, i dont get those options for removable... | 01:59 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: how it's possible to do ? | 01:59 |
| Frogger626 | Does anyone know a channel for grub help? And not #grub. Been there, tried talking to slugs. | 01:59 |
| rootlinuxusr | best setup for Diablo 2? | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, installed it how? You mwan with wine? cedega is wine. | 01:59 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, wait what? | 01:59 |
| === anaxagoras is now known as bonhoffer | ||
| Dr_willis | Frustation, you now have everyone totally confused I think. | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, wine is whats normally used to run windows apps. cedega is just a spinoff of wine with a game focus. | 01:59 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: but... wine is wine and cedega is cedega it's more different no ? | 01:59 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: can you move items up and down in that list maybe with + / - or PgUp / PgDown ? | 01:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: i had an idea that might fix your situation. | 02:00 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, yeah i can | 02:00 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, cedega = wine+tweaks | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | i was thinking about it after you left | 02:00 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: sweet :) | 02:00 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: okay and with wine i can run Most wanted ? | 02:00 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, ...ok | 02:00 |
| Mystik7 | hmm I wonder if Street Atlas works under wine with usb gps device | 02:00 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, check the wine app database web page. | 02:00 |
| style23 | kitche it keeps telling me command not found | 02:00 |
| Dr_willis | !appdb | Frustation | 02:00 |
| ubotu | Frustation: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 02:00 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: save and exit and give it a go | 02:00 |
| Hailsematary | exit | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Frogger626: join me in #indygunfreak /join #indygunfreak | 02:00 |
| ader10 | Brasero fails to load, and I would like to be able to fix it without restarting the system. Any ideas? | 02:00 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: i have wine on my computer but what i must doing ? | 02:00 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, do i edit them? | 02:01 |
| Frustation | *do | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, you said you installed the game... how did you install it? I would do a 'wine /path/to/media/cdrom/setup.exe' my self to start the installer. | 02:01 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: just have CD first then Hard drive second | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, if you just doubleclicked the .exe and it installed.. then it started wine by itself to install. | 02:01 |
| Mystik7 | I am confused by all the sym links to sym links that goto yet more sym links with the firefox install in squishy heron | 02:02 |
| [Rocc] | DistroJockey, What.... cd on removable? | 02:02 |
| style23 | kitche it keeps telling me command not found | 02:02 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: but i haven't do update to wine | 02:02 |
| cached | I once heard that it is not advised to install wine through apt-get, is this still the case? | 02:02 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: which ever one your Ubuntu disk is in | 02:02 |
| Frustation | Dr_willis: when i doubleclic on my game.exe wine run any | 02:02 |

| Frustation | with the terminal ? can you send me the command plz ? | 02:03 |
| jordan_ | cached, Especially since the wine devs themselves have an Ubuntu repository | 02:03 |
| Rafabe | root: was it a new profile or did you import stuff from a Windows installation? | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, you use wine, or cedega to run the installer, it should add icons in the menus for the games. If the game dosent work check the wine app database to se eif theres any tweaks for the game. It MIGHT be totally unplayable with wine. | 02:03 |

| tono | hey | 02:06 |
| SkinnYPupp | Yep | 02:06 |
| Pelo | bobbo85, I don,t think you can use avidemux to do it , but if it can, just load the wmv , and on the left side change copy to somethingelse | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | Frustation, its proiberly better to just reinstall with wine | 02:06 |

| Dr_willis | Frustation, given that you havent checked the wine app database. you dont know if either will play the game. if cedga cant handle it - i doubt if the wine in ubuntu can either | 02:07 |

| amenado | StPatrick-> your wifi is a usb dongle? | 02:42 |
| StPatrick | Survivorman, Finding posts about my problem is not my problem I can search google, and browse forums all day long. Thank you though. I appreciate your looking, and assistance. However, what I need is someone to help me DO one of those fixes. I can't put the processes listed into effect. | 02:42 |
| jim | tocmo0nlord: you could look into alien -- might work even -- other than that, it's not recommended | 02:42 |
| DigitalKiwi | if ubuntu is debian then why is there ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| StPatrick | amenado, It;s internal. Built in, but usb. | 02:42 |
| pyrak | Dr_willis, thanks, that did it | 02:42 |
| StPatrick | Survivorman, Please do nto take this as me being ungrateful. I am very appreciative of your searching. | 02:43 |
| amenado | StPatrick-> built in but usb? usb are normally removable.. | 02:43 |
| MattJ | DigitalKiwi: Ubuntu is based on Debian, it is not Debian | 02:43 |
| hexoroid | anybody good with rdns ? | 02:43 |
| DistroJockey | !debian | DigitalKiwi | 02:43 |
| ubotu | DigitalKiwi: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 02:43 |
| StPatrick | amenado, Im aware of that. Don't ask me to explain it. It's an internal USB. | 02:43 |
| === _endo602 is now known as endo602 | ||
| jim | DigitalKiwi: it's not debian. the only thing in common really is the packaging format... and even that is questionable, because ubuntu takes all its software from debian unstable and works on it | 02:43 |
| vocx | tocmo0nlord, jim, he could try alien but it is not needed to install adobe reader. | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | DigitalKiwi, its no longer 'debian' - its branched away from debian. it also has different design goals then debian does. | 02:43 |
| hexoroid | anybody good with rdns ? | 02:43 |
| refrax | pyrak: next time if that happens, and that isn't the cause, then do 'fuser /dev/cdrom' and it will tell you processes using it | 02:44 |
| unocrash | LjL: what's -o mean? | 02:44 |

| unocrash | thoguht so..... | 02:52 |
| DistroJockey | xfa: ohh. There are more channels to the right in alsamixer also. Maybe play with 'Center' or 'Surround'. Apart from that, not sure. | 02:52 |
| StPatrick | amen Ok, I downloaded the file. | 02:52 |

| tocmo0nlord | yes, problem was that it wouldn run under root | 02:54 |
| tocmo0nlord | got it working on reg terminal | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | tocmo0nlord, most likelyt you need to run the game as a user. since root cant access the desktop/X | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:54 |
| StPatrick | Dr_willis, What game is that? | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | StPatrick, AlienArena2008 - it just came out a few weeks ago. | 02:54 |

| christophoros | guys anyone can help me out? | 02:55 |
| amenado | vocx-> per the link he posted earlier..just following it..not sure if its a workable solution for him | 02:55 |
| christophoros | christophoros@christophoros-laptop:~$ mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force | 02:55 |

| tocmo0nlord | meh game looks crappy on laptop | 02:55 |
| tocmo0nlord | laggy | 02:55 |
| christophoros | why i cant do it? | 02:55 |
| Starnestommy | christophoros: put sudo before that command | 02:55 |
| refrax | christophoros: add sudo in front of the laptop | 02:55 |
| refrax | christophoros: LOL | 02:55 |
| unocrash | !pastebin > christophoros | 02:55 |
| refrax | christophoros: i mean command not laptop | 02:55 |
| DistroJockey | xfa: agreed, what if you mute or drop the volume on "Front" ? | 02:55 |
| osxdude|laptop | yes | 02:56 |
| unocrash | ok | 02:56 |
| osxdude|laptop | !offtopic | unocrash | 02:56 |
| ubotu | unocrash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 02:56 |
| nickrud | crisnoh also, add a space between sdb1 and /media | 02:56 |
| vocx | amenado, it better to provide no help at all, that not knowing what those commands do. Be careful when helping others. | 02:56 |
| amenado | vocx-> i can not attest to the workability of the link he pasted earlier, im just walking trhough the steps with him | 02:56 |
| xfa | DistroJockey, then headphones are mute too | 02:56 |
| unocrash | Im not dumb | 02:56 |
| christophoros | christophoros@christophoros-laptop:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force | 02:56 |
| christophoros | Usage: mount -V : print version | 02:56 |
| unocrash | Im on ubuntu to help. im just randomly chatting from time to time. | 02:56 |
| StPatrick | vocx, He's just tryin to help man. He's just trying to help me understand a website explaination | 02:56 |
| nickrud | crisnoh sorry bout that | 02:56 |
| christophoros | etc etc it shows me the help think | 02:56 |
| osxdude|laptop | nickrud guess what. I pressed alt+ctrl+f2 and went into the consle, and typed in ifconfig and, what do ya know, it isn't connected. | 02:57 |
| DistroJockey | xfa: pressing m on a channel will toggle mute | 02:57 |
| StPatrick | vocx, Do you know how to fix my wifi? | 02:57 |
| nickrud | osxdude|laptop ah! | 02:57 |
| Frogger626 | Uh, hey | 02:57 |
| refrax | christophoros: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o force | 02:57 |
| refrax | christophoros: copy and paste that | 02:57 |
| amenado | vocx he had removed the ieee80211 files so -- logical to may as well finish the compile steps he was working on | 02:57 |
| osxdude|laptop | nickrud, i'm going to not set up the network | 02:57 |
| christophoros | ty | 02:57 |
| StPatrick | 8 min on alienarena | 02:57 |
| christophoros | >< | 02:57 |
| vocx | StPatrick, you can follow the advise you want, but if the one helping you isn't even sure, you can mess things up badly. | 02:57 |
| nickrud | osxdude|laptop done that myself a couple times, easy to set up networking | 02:57 |
| refrax | christophoros: tell me if it worked | 02:58 |
| StPatrick | vocx, Well, what do you reccomend then man? I need wifi working, and I'm completely new to linux. :( | 02:58 |
| osxdude|laptop | nickrud, that is correct, remember I'm in the alternate disk :D | 02:58 |
| xfa | yeah but muting front mutes the rest | 02:58 |
| amenado | vocx-> it would not be so bad, when missing those ieee80211 to load ipw3945 | 02:58 |
| nickrud | osxdude|laptop I would have kept my mouth shut otherwise, it's the only install I use (and know even a little about) | 02:58 |
| xfa | DistroJockey, istn there a tool letting me configure that seperatly | 02:58 |
| vocx | amenado, I get it. However, I think that when you install kernel headers the symlinks are automatically set, you don't need to do it yourself. He is using a strange non-ubuntu guide? | 02:59 |
| christophoros | refrax yeh it worked | 02:59 |
| unocrash | !mythbuntu > me | 02:59 |
| christophoros | thx alot | 02:59 |
| joot | StPatrick< Go to the ubuntu forums wifi can be a real bitch :-) | 02:59 |
| StPatrick | vocx, It was on Ubuntu forums. | 02:59 |
| xfa | DistroJockey, i can chose between als mixer (HDA intel) and realtek ALC888 | 02:59 |
| osxdude|laptop | uh | 02:59 |
| StPatrick | joot, Yea, thanks, I know. | 02:59 |
| refrax | christophoros: you're welcome :) | 02:59 |

| mophead | xfa: What worked for me was muting front completely, then turning the headphones way up | 02:59 |
| osxdude|laptop | there is no floppy disk, and there was an I/O error on dev/fd0 | 02:59 |
| unocrash | whats gobuntu? | 02:59 |
| refrax | unocrash: a template for other "ubuntus" i believe | 03:00 |
| StPatrick | joot, As I tried to explain earlier, finiding information isnt my problem. It's taking that information, and fixing anything with it that's stoppingn me. I need a translator. | 03:00 |
| amenado | vocx i dont know, he found the solution, we were looking for the stock ieee80211 but he has gone far enuff on the steps to have removed these..so we may as well go forward with building a newer ieee80211 | 03:00 |
| unocrash | !gobuntu | 03:00 |
| ubotu | gobuntu is a freedom-focused flavour of Ubuntu intended for experienced Linux enthusiasts. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu for more information and download mirrors.. | 03:00 |
| DistroJockey | xfa: has the laptop got a manual volume control? alsamixer is the only thing I can think of atm. And yeah, as you said it may be a driver or changing devices may help. | 03:00 |
| refrax | unocrash: to create other's like kubuntu and xubuntu | 03:00 |
| unocrash | oh | 03:00 |
| vocx | StPatrick, Okay, just remember that you can't rush things up. It doesn't matter if you are desperate, and being new to linux doesn't help. | 03:00 |
| nickrud | osxdude|laptop I read somewhere that setting a kernel option of all_generic_ide fixes that, you might want to google a bit to confirm | 03:00 |
| StPatrick | vocx, Been trying to make it fork 7 days 23 hours now. | 03:00 |
| StPatrick | vocx, work* | 03:00 |
| [Rocc] | Distro: could you help me, i have no clue which one to change to the disk drive.. | 03:00 |
| xfa | DistroJockey, muting front mutes all | 03:01 |
| mophead | xfa: I also have it switched to alsa mixer | 03:01 |
| osxdude|laptop | ah, ok. because my laptop's ubuntu install says there is a floppy drive on the system, lol (nickrud) | 03:01 |
| StPatrick | vocx, I will ask again, will you help me? | 03:01 |
| amenado | StPatrick this is a new install relatively speaking right? | 03:01 |
| jim | why doesn't distro rhyme with bistro? | 03:01 |
| unocrash | whats medibuntu? | 03:01 |

| newbie | is it possible to play PS2 games on ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| StPatrick | amenado, And I have formatted this laptop about 30 time sin the last 6 days. | 03:01 |
| xfa | yeah but if i change headphones volume nothing happens.. | 03:01 |
| unocrash | is it possible to download medibuntu? | 03:02 |
| StPatrick | amenado, And Im happy to format again and start fresh. | 03:02 |
| [Rocc] | Newbie: try a emulator... | 03:02 |
| YeaSt | hey, guys | 03:02 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: are you in a device config screen or a boot order screen? | 03:02 |
| mophead | xfa: I know this sounds stupid but double check that the headphones are plugged into the right hole. | 03:02 |
| YeaSt | anyone using virtualbox? | 03:02 |
| vocx | StPatrick, my wireless worked after 3 months, so don't complain. Follow amenado, since he has already helped you. | 03:02 |
| nickrud | unocrash read the link given | 03:02 |
| newbie | [Rocc], which one would you suggest? | 03:02 |
| osxdude|laptop | ok | 03:02 |
| amenado | StPatrick-> okay cool.. | 03:02 |
| YeaSt | I have some problem with the keyboard in virtual guest machine | 03:02 |
| [Rocc] | Distro: "AwardBIOS Setup Utility" is at the top... | 03:02 |
| mophead | !ask | Yeast | 03:02 |
| ubotu | Yeast: 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. :-) | 03:02 |
| StPatrick | vocx, Im not complaining. I'm stating a fact. Im not rushing anything, i am a little rushed, cause people helping me keep having to leave 1/2 way through the process.. | 03:03 |
| [Rocc] | Newbie: i wouldn't know, sorry | 03:03 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: and the name of the page you are on in there? | 03:03 |
| StPatrick | amenado, So, are we continuing :P? | 03:03 |
| amenado | StPatrick-> so go on withthat step make && sudo make install | 03:03 |
| joot | newbie, I think there is a ps emulator in add remove programs | 03:03 |
| [Rocc] | Distro: im on the boot part | 03:03 |
| StPatrick | amenado, Give me a minute. I gotta pull everythign back up. I closed everything down when vocx interrupted. | 03:03 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: sec, looking something up | 03:03 |
| LjL | joot, newbie: not in add/remove programs perhaps (because most come without a graphical front-end by default, and add/remove only shows graphical programs), but there are certainly some in the repositories (use synaptic) | 03:03 |
| YeaSt | I could not type in virtualbox guest machine | 03:03 |
| xfa | mophead, i can hear sound with the headphones but i can't sepratly change the volume | 03:03 |
| [Rocc] | Distro: kk ill be here | 03:04 |
| StPatrick | amenado, DO you have the site up? would you link me please? | 03:04 |

| mgray5159 | does anyone know how to fix the skype problem with skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:04 |
| mophead | xfa: what eventually helped me was plugging my headphones into the speakers, and controlling volume through the speakers, with my front on mute. | 03:04 |
| troxor | Silicium: use curly braces | 03:04 |
| StPatrick | amenado, Ok, do i need to be in a particular folder to do that command? | 03:04 |
| Silicium | mhm? | 03:05 |
| Silicium | troxor: i dont know | 03:05 |
| DistroJockey | [Rocc]: does what this site contain look similar: http://www.computerhope.com/help/phoenixa.htm | 03:05 |

| StPatrick | amenado, the folder i unzipped them to? | 03:06 |

| DeVonne | Dr_willis: what do you mean? | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | newbie, you can mount iso imatge files easially enough | 03:11 |
| mophead | DeVonne: do you really want to find out? | 03:11 |
| amenado | StPatrick-> follow the suggestion per your paste..starting around line 5 | 03:11 |
| bazhang | DeVonne: hardy discussion in #ubuntu+1 thanks | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | DeVonne, a few weeks ago a kernel update. made things unbootable for a day. :) befor that no sound for a few days.. befor that . samba was broke | 03:11 |
| MrStonedOne | !sound | 03:11 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:11 |
| DeVonne | Ok thanks! | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | !iso | newbie | 03:11 |
| ubotu | newbie: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:11 |

| level09 | is there any open source solution like Cpanel ? | 03:11 |
| Starnestommy | level09: ebox? | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | newbie, or you may want to try the fuseiso tools. | 03:11 |
| level09 | or WHM | 03:12 |

| amenado | StPatrick-> yes.. make SHELL=/bin/bash | 03:12 |
| jim | StPatrick: ok so you do have the build log... two issues: the build seems to require you to use bash | 03:12 |
| DistroJockey | Starnestommy: cheers :) | 03:12 |

| StPatrick | amenado, , jim, That gave me error 2 as well, making a pastebin | 03:13 |
| jim | perhaps if you do a make clean, get into bash and then run the make again it will work further | 03:13 |
| vocx | amenado, if you can you should talk to him in private message, because it is talking a lot of space in this channel. Just a suggestion. | 03:13 |

| DeVonne | 2.6.22-14-generic | 03:23 |

| mophead | I'm having trouble finding azureus in the file manager. In which folder would I find the program? | 03:27 |
| bazhang | mitch__: not unless you are a master programmer | 03:28 |

| Dr_willis | mophead, you installed it? | 03:28 |

| ubotu | azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo | 03:28 |

| little_unix | get | 03:30 |
| rpj8 | little_unix: Just use get and then the http address | 03:30 |
| nickrud | little_unix maybe a little more detail about what you mean maybe? | 03:30 |

| level09 | thanks | 03:39 |
| bazhang | headrx: the x closes apps | 03:39 |
| astro76 | headrx: perhaps you removed the tray itself, try right click on panel, add to panel... and add the "notification area" | 03:39 |
| level09 | vocx: can I use mv /dir/* /newdir ? | 03:39 |
| headrx | thank you, that worked | 03:40 |
| vocx | level09, you need to create the newdir first. Also, read the manual page, it indicates how to move several files, and so. | 03:40 |

| anton | hi compwiz18 | 03:45 |
| Y-Town | anton: ask your questiom | 03:45 |
| bazhang | metbsd: a game | 03:46 |
| downstairs | metbsd:sorry i meant openarena | 03:46 |
| FnordPerfect | Is it possible that the partition is re-mounted r/o because some init script exits with a fail-status? Can I find out, which? | 03:46 |
| anton | thanks | 03:46 |
| anton | thanks ubotu | 03:46 |
| metbsd | game? on linux? hahaha | 03:46 |

| anton | i want to update my compiz fusion 5.0.2 to compiz fusion to 6.0 | 03:46 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, did you provide a read only option to the kernel at boot time? | 03:47 |
| crdlb | anton: what version of ubuntu? | 03:47 |
| crdlb | anton: also, you mean 0.5.2 and 0.6.0 :) | 03:47 |
| anton | 7.10 | 03:47 |
| anton | yes indeed | 03:47 |
| anton | thanks | 03:47 |
| crdlb | anton: despite what the package versions imply, you _do_ have 0.6.0 | 03:47 |
| anton | i have now a 0.5.2 | 03:48 |
| FnordPerfect | vocx: yes, it's provided by grub. but this is normal, isn't it? it is supposed to be remounted r/w after fsck. | 03:48 |
| metbsd | does kde have comizfusion? | 03:48 |
| crdlb | anton: 0.6.0 was released shortly after ubuntu 7.10, so ubuntu included a development snapshot from just before the release | 03:48 |
| anton | and i think i dont have other extra plug ins | 03:48 |
| anton | like snow | 03:48 |
| bazhang | metbsd: it does when you install a couple of things | 03:48 |
| crdlb | anton: see the +git on the end of the version number | 03:48 |
| felix | the LumaQQ just can't login and now I using the eva | 03:48 |
| vocx | What other symptoms are there. What does "mount" say? | 03:48 |
| crdlb | anton: snow is not officially supported in any version, but if you want it for gutsy, join #compiz-fusion | 03:48 |
| metbsd | felix: are you chinese? | 03:48 |
| felix | yes | 03:48 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, ^ | 03:49 |

| anton | ok thank you very much for ur help crdlb | 03:49 |
| anton | it was greatly appreciated crdlb | 03:49 |
| metbsd | i use qq on windows. it's nice | 03:49 |
| metbsd | you don't get qq on linux | 03:50 |
| bazhang | offtopic | 03:50 |
| metbsd | because linux don't support qq | 03:50 |
| FnordPerfect | vocx: ^ | 03:50 |
| felix | I kown | 03:50 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, What does mount say? I only have (rw,error=remount-ro) as options | 03:51 |
| bazhang | eva works fine with qq | 03:51 |
| FnordPerfect | vocx: you mean, what's in /etc/fstab? I have rw,error=remount-ro' and additionally defaults' as an option. | 03:52 |
| allan_ | hi,all | 03:52 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, type "mount" in the terminal | 03:53 |
| osxdude|laptop | hmm | 03:53 |
| FnordPerfect | vocx: oh.. ok. (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 03:53 |
| osxdude|laptop | will someone tell me why my boot screen is at too high of a resolution for my monitor? how can I fix it? | 03:54 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, well it says it is read/write? So what's the problem? | 03:54 |
| icanhasadmin | osxdude|laptop: change res in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:54 |
| xtknight | !fb | osxdude|laptop this is probably something to do with it? if you mean grub screen? | 03:54 |

| bazhang | downstairs: that are not resource intensive? | 03:55 |
| downstairs | bazhang: yes please | 03:55 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, oh. Well, check that after a reboot. Mmmm. How did you mount the root partition if you were using it? Are you using a Live CD? | 03:55 |
| bazhang | downstairs: doubtful | 03:55 |
| xtknight | dont think so | 03:56 |
| downstairs | xtnight: ut2004 what years is that set in? | 03:56 |
| michael__ | i got alot of my windows games to work on ubuntu with no trouble and litle lag through wine | 03:56 |
| allan_ | I'm write a plugin for audacious, but it has some problem | 03:56 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | Is there a package that lists any "orphaned" packages? For example libraries that I don't need, etc | 03:56 |
| downstairs | bazhang: i can play openarena fine. | 03:56 |
| xtknight | downstairs, no idea. it's not a war game tho it's a futuristic game | 03:56 |

| bazhang | TheFearsomeFufu: see deborphan | 03:57 |
| xtknight | downstairs, but it stil uses pixel shaders i think and all that. if that's what you mean by resource intensive :\ | 03:57 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | bazhang: Thanks. | 03:57 |

| TheFearsomeFufu | Another question: Is it ok to remove the "ubuntu-desktop" package? I'm trying to remove some things I don't need, but one of them depends on the ubuntu-desktop package | 03:58 |
| osxdude|laptop | !fb | 03:58 |
| ubotu | Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 03:58 |
| bazhang | TheFearsomeFufu: that is a metapackage; what else does it wish to remove | 03:58 |
| FnordPerfect | vocx: yes, there were plenty of errors, since I screwed it badly while downgraded from hardy back to gutsy. but i fixed most. | 03:59 |
| nickrud | TheFearsomeFufu yes, but release upgrades generally require that package be installled to complete | 03:59 |
| michael__ | that question came up yesterday i believe that it is ok to remove the desktop package but ma not sure | 03:59 |
| axel | Hello! How to recover a wiki-entry which got lost while trying to save it? | 03:59 |

| Ashfire908 | Flannel, "#! /usr/bin/env python" | 04:01 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: what system is your computer running now | 04:02 |
| axel | bazhang: I typed quite a long article, but saving did not work. So I pressed the back-button. This did not work either. | 04:02 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: vista >_> , I want to dual boot. | 04:02 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: I'm on the system without a working CDROM. | 04:02 |
| axel | DistroJockey: Ist was not saved on a server. I wanted as the entry got lost. | 04:02 |
| vocx | FnordPerfect, well, big news for you. Hardy is beta now, so get the beta and reinstall. Otherwise try the alternate Gutsy CD and upgrade the packages from it. Those regarding installation scripts. | 04:02 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: and vista works on that older computer? you could try a net install, wubi, or a couple of other options | 04:03 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> put that path in your PATH and execute the .py or cd to that dir then execute | 04:03 |
| Ashfire | Flannel, sorry | 04:03 |

| jim_beam | has anybody installed e17 in ubuntu 7.1 | 04:07 |
| nickrud | HugoEnder sudo <command> or sudo -i for a root shell | 04:07 |
| Ashfire908 | HugoEnder, in ubuntu you use sudo | 04:07 |
| HugoEnder | ooo | 04:08 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: that has a broadcom card in it? | 04:08 |
| HugoEnder | then what does su - do in ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| vocx | HugoEnder, don't use "su" use "sudo" | 04:08 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: er, yes | 04:08 |
| Ashfire908 | HugoEnder, same. but in ubuntu there is no root pass | 04:08 |

| bazhang | Monobi2: any friedns with a cd drive? | 04:08 |
| Ashfire908 | HugoEnder, root. | 04:08 |
| vocx | madagascar, , please don't ask questions about hardy here, until it's release has been made official. | 04:08 |
| * nickrud copies vocx's text replace | 04:09 | |
| HugoEnder | Ashfire908, but there is no pass for root? | 04:09 |
| bazhang | madagascar: #ubuntu+1 please | 04:09 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: I have an external CD driver | 04:09 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: one that works? | 04:09 |
| Ashfire908 | HugoEnder, yes there is no password for root. | 04:09 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: yes, it is external | 04:09 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: just bought it tonight | 04:09 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: then problem solved | 04:09 |
| vocx | nickrud, seriously I felt like that was deja vu, I was expecting nickrud though | 04:09 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: how so? my BIOS doesnt see it :| | 04:10 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: that is what I use to install ubuntu on my eeepc | 04:10 |
| HugoEnder | Ashfire908, so what stops anyone from installing stuff on ur computer using root? | 04:10 |
| nickrud | vocx heh. found out I had one already, just forgot #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 | 04:10 |
| Ashfire908 | !sudo | HugoEnder | 04:10 |
| ubotu | HugoEnder: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 04:10 |
| Ashfire908 | HugoEnder, when a user account has no pass, you can't login via a password. | 04:10 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: well, you are going to have to walk me through it ;) . I modified my BIOS to boot from the various USB options and the Hard Drive last, but it didn't work. | 04:10 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: you may need to get vista drivers for it then; not sure about vista, might ask in ##windows first then come back | 04:11 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: vista drivers? | 04:11 |
| nickrud | HugoEnder and only the first, installation created user has sudo privs, unless you grant them by adding a user to the admin group | 04:11 |
| axel | bazhang: I tried my Konqueror history. | 04:11 |
| vocx | HugoEnder, basically only the users that are in the admin group can use sudo, others cannot. | 04:11 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: you are using vista right now, yes? | 04:12 |
| Monobi2 | Yes | 04:12 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: and you have a problem with Vista recognizing an external cd drive, correct? | 04:12 |
| === GameJunkie is now known as Lleumas | ||
| Monobi2 | bazhang: not vista | 04:13 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: the BIOS | 04:13 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: I have the driver software for the hard drive | 04:13 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: er, s/hard drive/external CD drive/ | 04:13 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: once you get that solved (hardware/bios issue) we can help you with ubuntu on there; until that time it is not really an ubuntu issue | 04:13 |
| vocx | Monobi2, It should be recognized by the linux kernel, and if it is not, then it won't work since the windows drivers are not compatible with linux. | 04:14 |
| Monobi2 | bazhang: okay. Well, that is my problem. I have used ubuntu on two other machines I have, so installing ubuntu itself isnt the problem :) | 04:14 |
| bazhang | Monobi2: which is why I suggested asking for help in ##windows and then coming back; we will still be here when you return | 04:14 |
| Kurban_Haydarov | hi | 04:14 |
| Monobi2 | :) | 04:14 |

| SilentSounD | how can i make backspace == back in firefox ? | 04:14 |
| nickrud | HugoEnder they need to know your user password | 04:15 |
| bazhang | axel: no luck in konqueror? | 04:15 |
| vocx | HugoEnder, well they need your password still. | 04:15 |
| HugoEnder | o oka | 04:15 |
| Kurban_Haydarov | hi | 04:15 |

| nickrud | madagascar sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq <pkgname> | 04:17 |
| bazhang | axel: I know this wont help now, but what I generally do is type it in open office and auto save then cut and paste it to whatever I am writing online--that way the web wiki messups are alleviated a bit | 04:17 |
| madagascar | thanks nickrud, i'll try it | 04:17 |
| bazhang | madagascar: this is gutsy or hardy | 04:17 |
| madagascar | this is an ubuntu question | 04:18 |
| nickrud | madagascar mostly works, if it says reinstall required in the error message | 04:18 |
| bazhang | madagascar: if it is hardy then the other channel | 04:18 |
| nickrud | #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 madagascar if that doesn't fix it | 04:19 |
| madagascar | i think the help i need is version non-specific | 04:19 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado, path is not needed when i give it the path (./), but adding ./ to PATH does nothing | 04:19 |
| nickrud | madagascar I understand that, but the package you have problems with is hardy specific, it might very well be a known hardy issue | 04:19 |
| axel | bazhang: Thanks for the hint. | 04:20 |
| spreda | is there a 64 bit ubuntu channel? | 04:20 |
| Iz | how can update gnome? | 04:20 |
| luckylin | i have a silly noob question but here goes, i'm all out of CD-r's but i have 100 DVD-R's so will a DVD-R work for burning ubuntu (probably does sorry to ask) | 04:20 |
| bazhang | sorry to be of immediate help axel; I have had that happen and know how much it stinks | 04:21 |
| bazhang | err not | 04:21 |
| Starnestommy | spreda: this channel is for 32-bit and 64-bit | 04:21 |
| nickrud | Iz you would have to compile gnome to upgrade it in a release, the new version is released with each new ubuntu release | 04:21 |
| vocx | luckylin, if you have that many you only need to burn ONE to try out? man do you really need to ask a question like this one? | 04:21 |
| bazhang | luckylin: sure no problem | 04:21 |
| climatewarrior | yes if you have a dvd burner you can do that | 04:21 |
| climatewarrior | there's even a dvd version of ubuntu | 04:21 |
| axel | sjovan: I don't mean the history of browsed URLs, but the "buffer" (Zwischenspeicher in German). | 04:22 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> what does ./rtvm2.py supposed to do? | 04:22 |
| luckylin | thanks (yes i have a dvd/cd burner) | 04:22 |
| bazhang | luckylin: then you are good to go | 04:22 |
| Iz | i think i will need this cause the ubuntu i just installed was downloaded a time ago.. i got ubuntu 7.04 the feisty fawn and gnome v. 2.18 | 04:22 |
| ty | Trying to open qparted and getting this error "Failed to execute child process "qtparted-root" (No such file or directory)" | 04:22 |
| Iz | arent there new versions so far? | 04:23 |
| luckylin | ok one more retarded question | 04:23 |
| luckylin | can you put more then one ISO on a dvd and have like a dual boot iso | 04:23 |
| luckylin | like ubuntu and suse | 04:23 |
| vocx | Iz, to get the latest you need a new Ubuntu version. After that, there are no updates, unless there is a security patch. | 04:23 |
| bazhang | luckylin: no; it is an image so it leaves no free space--not a data disk | 04:24 |
| luckylin | oh.just thought i'de ask | 04:24 |
| climatewarrior | luckylin, as far as I know, no you cant do that | 04:24 |
| Iz | that means i have to downlaod the new ubuntu version burn in and reinstall ? or can i somehow upgrade ubuntu? | 04:24 |
| nickrud | Iz 2.20 came with 7.10, and 2.22 will come with 8.04 | 04:24 |
| Dr_willis | luckylin, ive seen some live-cd-dvds that do that.. but they dont do it quite that way | 04:24 |
| vocx | luckylin, That would be complicated. Probably would be possible to merge the two distros so they would still be one ISO, but sounds very strange indeed. | 04:24 |
| luckylin | yeah i noticed all iso's say zero free space even though they aren't as big as CD-R's | 04:24 |
| bazhang | lz that is up to you; you can net upgrade or do a fresh install | 04:24 |
| DistroJockey | luckylin: is possible, but not a question for here. You would need to edit the iso I assume | 04:25 |
| Iz | i prefer net upgrade :) how is this possible? | 04:25 |
| StPatrick | amenado, I'm back. Fresh install. | 04:25 |
| bazhang | lz from feisty to gutsy? | 04:25 |
| vocx | Iz, yes, you can upgrade ubuntu from the net. But you have to upgrade the entire distro, not just gnome, so it may need to download 1 GB. | 04:25 |
| nickrud | !upgrade | Iz | 04:26 |
| ubotu | Iz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 04:26 |
| bazhang | lz also dont do this on dialup ;] | 04:26 |
| amenado | StPatrick-> paste your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n | 04:26 |
| nickrud | bazhang you are silly ;) | 04:27 |
| StPatrick | amenado, is that one solid command? | 04:27 |
| vocx | amenado, since I feel it's gonna take a while, I suggest you two move to private messages or a private channel. | 04:27 |
| StPatrick | amenado, Im in #HelpStPat | 04:28 |
| Iz | thx guys :) i just upgrating:) | 04:29 |
| sjovan | axel: no sorry mate, i can't help you. | 04:29 |
| M4rotku | can i upgrade to the hardy beta without install all of the other updates for gusty? | 04:30 |
| icesword | M4rotku, unless you uninstall them | 04:30 |
| nickrud | M4rotku not advised, you should be totally up to date in gutsy before upgrading to hardy | 04:30 |
| M4rotku | nickrud: the reason i want to is because an update package that i installed in the past wiped out my wireless card configs and i had to reinstall everything, that's why i have to upgrade again in the first place | 04:31 |
| nickrud | M4rotku you could try, but the results are undefined | 04:32 |
| tonyyarusso | M4rotku: Hardy questions should go in #ubuntu+1 btw - they'll be able to give you more detail. | 04:32 |
| Legendario | hi. can anyone give me some help with the gfxboot? I tried to install it, but my boot doesn't show anything? | 04:32 |
| M4rotku | tonyyarusso, thanks, i'll try that channel | 04:32 |
| crumbym | Just checking things out.. | 04:34 |
| pierrelux | I'm struggling to get ubuntu running on my macbook pro v4.1 ... first tried with 7.10 with the livedcd then the alternate but its failed to install grub or lilo. Now with hardy, black screen... nothings appening | 04:34 |
| crumbym | nikki try this website: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro | 04:35 |
| nikki8965 | My linux keeps rebooting. Do I need to reinstall? It's only on 5 gigs of drive space, because I was stupid, and didn't size my partitions when installing | 04:35 |
| emma | maybe someone could help you with gparted | 04:36 |
| jim | is parted the thing used by the installer to do partitioning? | 04:37 |
| nikki8965 | I tried to use it, but it won't let me resize my windows partition | 04:37 |
| pierrelux | crumbym: if this was for me... obviously, I checked it first | 04:37 |
| jim | nikki8965: ntfs?\ | 04:37 |
| nikki8965 | yeah | 04:37 |
| jim | that's harder | 04:37 |
| crumbym | nikki have you tried this one: http://kahvipapu.com/blog/2007/12/29/liberating-macbook-pro/ | 04:38 |
| bumpin4 | hi all | 04:38 |
| jim | it'd be easier to find a spare hd | 04:38 |
| nikki8965 | Ok. I have an external HD that I need to dig out of a box | 04:38 |
| crumbym | nikki I have Linux installed on my MacBook Pro.. There were some settings on that last hotlink that will help yoj. | 04:39 |
| jim | nikki8965: does it have stuff you need? | 04:39 |
| Jordan_U | pierrelux, Have you seen this guide ( for V3 ) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro/SantaRosa ? | 04:39 |
| jim | or can you wipe it with no worries? | 04:39 |
| nikki8965 | It has stuff I need | 04:39 |
| earl_ | hey guys. i'm wondering if there is any sort of sega genesis (or ideally, sega cd) emulator available for ubuntu. | 04:39 |
| jim | hmm. | 04:39 |
| pierrelux | Jordan_U: thanks but I already went over it... it seems now that I can boot in safe graphic mode with the 8.04 installer | 04:40 |
| jim | nikki8965: how many partitions and what kind? | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | pierrelux, Then you get an error when installing Grub? | 04:40 |
| jim | does ubuntu use lvm by default? | 04:40 |
| nikki8965 | just one partition that I can think of. It's something I got from walmart | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | jim, No | 04:41 |
| crumbym | jim No | 04:41 |
| crumbym | Jim it uses Ext3 | 04:41 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451647 earl_ | 04:41 |
| izinucs | jim, you only get lvm on the alternate cd | 04:41 |
| emma | earl_, -- http://www.squish.net/generator/description.html | 04:41 |
| izinucs | crumbym, lvm is not a file system type.. it's a partitioning type of thing | 04:42 |
| bazhang | pierrelux: hardy? that should be discussed in #ubuntu+1 thanks | 04:42 |
| jim | I'm understanding that ubuntu is changing how it's related to debian in terms of its content... are they also changing how they obtain software (snapshot of debian sid)? | 04:42 |
| earl_ | thanks! | 04:42 |
| StPatrick | jim, Wanna have a go at my wireless now? | 04:42 |
| izinucs | nikki8965, did you get the $200 gOS? | 04:42 |
| crumbym | iz - I know, I was letting him know what the default partion format was | 04:42 |
| crumbym | LVM is Logical Volume | 04:43 |
| sjovan | hey, any of you know of a dc++ clone for linux? maby something that is in the rep? | 04:43 |
| Jordan_U | jim, What do you mean by "ubuntu is changing how it's related to debian in terms of its content" ? | 04:43 |
| pierrelux | bazhang: this is a general question... nothing specific about hardy. I first wanted to use the stable 7.10 | 04:43 |
| jim | let me see if I can remember closer... I heard that ubuntu had different design values than debian... | 04:43 |
| bazhang | pierrelux: what system are you running now? | 04:43 |
| jim | any truth to that? have those values changed recently? | 04:44 |
| nikki8965 | no. I paid like $80 for it. It has 'sea' in the name of it. I'm trying to google it | 04:44 |
| jim | seagate? | 04:44 |
| level09 | how can I detect the full path to some directory ? | 04:44 |
| nikki8965 | yep. seagate | 04:44 |
| jim | cd there, pwd | 04:44 |
| pierrelux | bazhang: not running ubuntu yet... I'm still trying to install ubuntu completely | 04:44 |
| level09 | pwd ? | 04:44 |
| crumbym | pwd | 04:44 |
| level09 | ok thanks :) | 04:45 |
| jim | man pwd for details | 04:45 |
| bazhang | pierrelux: what issues are you having installing gutsy | 04:45 |
| earl_ | this generator... won't emulate segacd, will it? | 04:45 |
| pierrelux | bazhang: it failed to install grub or lilo | 04:45 |
| izinucs | nikki8965, a seagate computer? they make harddrives.. is it a laptop or desktop? | 04:45 |
| level09 | great :) | 04:45 |
| crumbym | level09 - you might like whereis as well | 04:45 |
| jim | pwd gives you the fully qualified path name to the dir you're in | 04:45 |
| level09 | i'm actually staring to like linux :D | 04:45 |
| level09 | that's what I want, I'm installing some complicated crm | 04:45 |
| nikki8965 | It's an external harddrive. It hooks up to a computer using a usb cord | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | jim, Not that I have heard, the main design differences are that Ubuntu limits the architectures it supports and focuses on the Desktop, also they are more lenient with "non-free" software ( they include Firefox by default still instead of iceweasel and allow easy installation of proprietary drivers ) | 04:45 |
| jim | stop staring! it's embarrisin! | 04:46 |
| crumbym | Anyone have suggestions on a good screen capture besides gtk-recordmydesktop? | 04:46 |
| bazhang | pierrelux: this was from the livecd or what? ubuntu or ubuntu-based; what errors are you getting please be precise | 04:46 |
| nikki8965 | But, I could partitionit, and install ubuntu? | 04:46 |
| jim | StPatrick: maybe after awhile | 04:46 |
| jim | oh, oops | 04:46 |
| jim | nikki8965: you -could- | 04:47 |
| izinucs | nikki8965, yes.. however installing on an external HD requires some finesse. there are how to's on ubuntuforums.org and elsewhere on the web.. | 04:47 |
| level09 | what does sudo command actually do ? | 04:47 |
| pierrelux | bazhang: I was unable to use the livecd (staled with low-graphics mode) so I tried with the alternate (64 bits) | 04:47 |
| jim | but you'd lose the drive unless you back it up | 04:47 |
| izinucs | nikki8965, why not just install in on your desktop HD? | 04:47 |
| jim | izinucs: how would he resize an ntfs | 04:47 |
| earl_ | level09: some linux distributions make you log in as "root", meaning the computer administrator, to have more permission to do stuff | 04:47 |
| bazhang | pierrelux: if you give precise info error we can troubleshoot, otherwise... | 04:47 |
| earl_ | level09: sudo'ing something gives you that level of access temporarily, and asks for your password | 04:48 |
| nikki8965 | I don't have a destop | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | bazhang, Try choosing to have the installer *not* install Grub ( so the install does not fail ) then install it manually yourself ( this is what I had to do with my macbook pro back before Grub support for Apples BIOS emulation was as good ) | 04:48 |
| crumbym | level09 - you can also use su | 04:48 |
| pierrelux | bazhang: no special messages except a red screen with a popup saying it failed to install grub... then the same with lilo (I did not try to install on MBR to mess with refit) | 04:48 |
| nikki8965 | just a laptop | 04:48 |
| level09 | earl_: thanks ! very helpful | 04:48 |
| jim | you should be able to (build and) install su and/or sudo on any linux dist... no one's forcing anything | 04:48 |
| level09 | so no need for sudo if i'm a root user | 04:48 |
| izinucs | jim, on install you'll be able to resize | 04:48 |
| earl_ | level09: don't be a root user | 04:48 |
| level09 | why ? | 04:48 |
| earl_ | level09: do you leave your doors open? | 04:48 |
| crumbym | level09 = ROOT BAD! | 04:49 |
| earl_ | it's easier to get in and out of your house that way, so it seems like a good idea, right? | 04:49 |
| jim | level09: that is a long story with some points of charge associated | 04:49 |
| jim | ever run dos? | 04:49 |
| level09 | sure, but how is that ? I'm using a secure private key | 04:49 |
| earl_ | thing is, jack the ripper also gets into your house just as easily. so it's not. | 04:49 |
| izinucs | nikki8965, how does the live cd run on it.? wireless work? | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | level09, But if your web browser is compromised it can do whatever it wants to your system | 04:49 |
| cjzjm100 | Are the softwares of the LTS release in the repo in-sync with the the other release(not the LTS release)? | 04:50 |
| bazhang | level09: irc on root? hahaha | 04:50 |
| level09 | I'm on putty client | 04:50 |
| nickrud | cjzjm100 no, they are substantially older, except for security fixes and a few backports | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | level09, Doesn't matter what authentication you use to get root privileges, if you are running applications unnecessarily as root you are at risk. | 04:50 |
| level09 | how to disable root login ? | 04:50 |
| izinucs | nickrud, unless he's talking about hardy | 04:50 |
| level09 | and how do I get back if I disabled it :D | 04:51 |
| jim | level09: one thing, if you're not too familiar with the reasons for that, conventional wisdom suggests it's a bad idea... | 04:51 |
| nickrud | izinucs true, but context leads me to think of dapper | 04:51 |
| bazhang | level09: uh oh | 04:51 |
| jim | level09: also not good idea | 04:52 |
| TehMwak | anyone run 7.10 and have a X2300? | 04:52 |
| level09 | jim: what ? | 04:52 |
| whisperkiller | how do i get the chipset of my cardbus wireless card? | 04:52 |
| earl_ | level09: basically, if you don't need to be root to do something, which is almost always the case unless it's something that could potentially damage your computer, don't be root | 04:52 |
| izinucs | whisperkiller, lspci in terminal I think | 04:52 |
| bazhang | usb whisperkiller? lsusb | 04:53 |
| jim | level09: it's not a good idea to disable the root acct, you'll need it to fix things (for one) | 04:53 |
| bazhang | whisperkiller: pci is lspci | 04:53 |
| whisperkiller | cardbus | 04:53 |
| level09 | okay I'm convinced :D , what steps should I do now ? | 04:53 |
| level09 | just switch to normal user ? | 04:53 |
| bazhang | level09: check for rootkits | 04:53 |
| jim | level09: let me just ask this before we get further... do you have stuff you want to keep on the machine you're being root on? | 04:53 |
| level09 | I used a normal user , but I kept getting permission denied errors | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | level09, That's where you use sudo | 04:54 |
| level09 | jim: i dont know, I'm running a lamp server | 04:54 |
| jim | stated another way... what if the hd of that machine were wiped? would that be a disaster? | 04:54 |
| nikki8965 | wireless works, and the live cd works | 04:54 |
| zero | hi, when i try to install C&C in cedega, it says i need administrator rights to install, im the ONLY user, how can i fix this? | 04:54 |
| level09 | sure | 04:55 |
| jim | are you just fooling around with lamp? or is it a production box? | 04:55 |
| bazhang | zero sudo | 04:55 |
| izinucs | nikki8965, then you could put it directy on the HD if you want | 04:55 |
| level09 | actually its a production box :D | 04:55 |
| nickrud | !sudo | zero (this describes getting the privs you need) | 04:55 |
| ubotu | zero (this describes getting the privs you need): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 04:55 |
| zero | bazhang, how do i run sude in cedega? | 04:55 |
| zero | *sudo | 04:55 |
| nikki8965 | I'll try that... thanks :) | 04:55 |
| cjzjm100 | Does the server release have all functions of the desktop release? | 04:56 |
| nickrud | cjzjm100 no gui on the server, otherwise same base | 04:56 |
| TheOneAndOnly | zero, run sudo cedega - should clear things up | 04:56 |
| level09 | okay then , I'll switch to my other user | 04:56 |
| zero | TheOneAndOnly, thanks | 04:56 |
| TheOneAndOnly | zero, np :] | 04:56 |
| Mighty_Penguin | does mplayer only play videos if xorg is installed? | 04:56 |
| Mighty_Penguin | in cli mode | 04:56 |
| bazhang | Mighty_Penguin: you want to watch movies in the shell? | 04:57 |
| level09 | btw, wheres that file where I can enter command aliases ? | 04:57 |
| Mighty_Penguin | bazhang: yes | 04:57 |
| bazhang | Mighty_Penguin: how? | 04:57 |
| Mighty_Penguin | framebuffer | 04:57 |
| Mighty_Penguin | the same way i can view images in cli mode | 04:57 |
| bazhang | does framebuffer allow one to play games as well? | 04:58 |
| Mighty_Penguin | zgv works great for images, but i havent found any way to watch videos, i've heard mplayer does but not sure how | 04:58 |
| TehMwak | How to fix discolouration with a radeon x2300 on Gutsy??? | 04:59 |

| zero | TheOneAndOnly, same problem, sudo cedega gave me the same issue | 04:59 |
| level09 | is there any editor that supports syntax highlighting ? | 04:59 |
| zero | TheOneAndOnly, ive checked out all the forums, the game is supported under ubuntu | 04:59 |
| vadillo | level09: vim, gedit | 04:59 |
| Starnestommy | level09: vim and gvim do, and I think gedit and emacs also do | 04:59 |
| luciddream | hi, i'm trying to setup an svn server using the standalone svnserve daemon. I think I may be misunderstanding how permissions work because I get permission denied errors even though I think I've assigned rw permissions to the svn user that the svn daemon runs as: http://pastie.caboo.se/175956 can someone take a look and tell me if i'm doing something dumb? | 05:00 |
| TheOneAndOnly | zero, if you run it from the terminal, do you get any other output from the terminal other than a permission problem? ie - maybe the file itself needs permissions changed? | 05:00 |
| level09 | should I install them , or are they already in core ? | 05:00 |
| TheOneAndOnly | level09, gedit as well as abiword do, there are others for specific languages as well | 05:00 |
| Starnestommy | level09: you might need to install gvim or vim-full if you're using vim. Gedit is already installed | 05:00 |
| TheOneAndOnly | level09, vim and gedit are in the base | 05:00 |

| StPatrick | For all those interested in trying to keep me in Linux, Here's a heads up on what's happened. Toshiba A205-S5800. Realtek RTL8187b Wifi Card. Works fine in Vista. Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Suse, all see card, but can't get it to work in them, Ubuntu ( currently running ) Doesnt even see card. | 05:11 |

| ubotu | bittornado (source: bittornado): bittorrent client with enhanced curses interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.18-4 (gutsy), package size 155 kB, installed size 876 kB | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | Bax_, try 'which which' :) | 05:13 |
| StPatrick | jim, I prefer Mandriva. | 05:13 |
| jim | use that :) | 05:13 |
| StPatrick | jim, Cant get any support | 05:13 |
| michael__ | Stpatrick:whats the name of the driver your card uses? | 05:13 |
| SegFault[AX] | izinucs: irssi says it cant' connect to irc.thelinuxshow.org on 6667, is it on a different port? | 05:13 |
| StPatrick | michael__, I have no idea. Drivers have names? | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | Bax_, now if you want to know where in the menus that icon went.. no idea on that. | 05:13 |
| Shpook | Hello everyone, quick question: How do I get the Home Folder onto the desktop? | 05:13 |
| Bax_ | Dr_willis: but I don't know what the command is for bittornado, I just know that it was the name of the program I downloaded and installed through synaptic | 05:13 |
| StPatrick | michael__, The difference between you going through it, and me, is that I am not a computer guy.l | 05:14 |
| vadillo | StPatrick: also this one--> http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ | 05:14 |
| StPatrick | michael__, I do not know much about computers, at all. | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | Bax_, try 'bittornado' ? thats the most logical command for it. | 05:14 |
| StPatrick | vadillo, Yea, that one's fun... | 05:14 |
| michael__ | Stpatrick: yes like the name of mine is bcmwl5.sys (im not either i came into this not knowing anything) so im gonna help you out | 05:14 |
| Shpook | Oops, on KDE I mean. | 05:14 |
| SegFault[AX] | Shpook: ln -s $HOME $HOME/Desktop/Home | 05:14 |
| StPatrick | michael__, Ok :) I'm glad to hear it. | 05:14 |
| michael__ | Stpatrick: so we have to find the driver for your card eh | 05:14 |
| StPatrick | michael__, Care to meet m e in a different channel? | 05:14 |
| vadillo | StPatrick what did you mean with fun? | 05:14 |
| StPatrick | say.. #HelpStPat? | 05:14 |
| michael__ | Stpatrick: sure just lemme know the name buddy | 05:15 |
| Bax_ | Dr_willis: I did, with just the name, with ./, and with "which". Still got nothing | 05:15 |
| StPatrick | vadillo, I mean i did it. | 05:15 |
| hansin | Should I be using 'aptitude' vs. 'apt-get'? I am trying to get in the habit of switching to it. I keep seeing 'aptitude' is the way to go, but maybe this is a personal preference thing? I like to install Ubuntu as the Minimal CLI install from the alternative CD. Does anyone know if the installer uses 'aptitude' or 'apt-get', or is it lower level than that (dpkg?)? Thanks. | 05:15 |
| Dmole | Bax_: bittornado works but try transmition (gui) or rtorrent (cli) | 05:15 |
| level09 | is it bad also to use sftp as a root ? | 05:15 |
| Shpook | SegFault[AX]: Thank, that worked perfect. | 05:15 |
| jim | maybe | 05:15 |
| Bax_ | Dmole: I | 05:15 |
| Shpook | Thanks* | 05:15 |
| vadillo | StPatrick: also the other one link | 05:16 |
| TheOneAndOnly | level09, only if you don't care about your system's security :p | 05:16 |
| SegFault[AX] | Shpook: no problem | 05:16 |
| level09 | TheOneAndOnly: I cant upload files with a regular user, theres no permissions | 05:16 |
| Bax_ | Dmole: I'm just trying to figure out how to find and access programs I just downloaded through synaptic, like bittorando | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | !find bittornado | 05:16 |
| ubotu | Found: bittornado, bittornado-gui | 05:16 |
| Hellow | Hello | 05:16 |
| Alan_M | hansin, it has both on it.....and yes its personal preference honestly. | 05:16 |
| level09 | I'm using filezilla | 05:16 |
| ifireball | Bax_: you probably want "btdownloadgui" | 05:16 |
| ifireball | Bax_: type bt<tab> to see other commands installed by bittornado | 05:17 |
| Dmole | Bax_: that will be in the menu under internet | 05:17 |
| michael__ | Stpatrick: the way i did mine was quite simple actually all we have to do is find something to extract the firmware from your driver and well put it in the correct spots reboot and bam youl be good | 05:17 |
| TheOneAndOnly | level09, hm, you should go in and set the file permissions as root, and then use sftp as a regular user | 05:17 |
| DeVonne | I still can't find or see my dvd/cd drive | 05:17 |
| Dmole | Bax_: and like ifireball said ta is your frend | 05:17 |
| amirman84 | what language do people use to write programs and GUIs for ubuntu? i may want to take a class on it | 05:17 |
| level09 | TheOneAndOnly: okay thnx | 05:17 |
| ifireball | Bax_: to see all the files installed by a package "dpkg -L bittornado" | 05:17 |
| TheOneAndOnly | DeVonne, do you know what type of hardware you cd/dvd drive is? | 05:17 |
| amirman84 | all i know is BASIC :) | 05:18 |
| DeVonne | it came with the emachine so I do not know | 05:18 |
| Alan_M | amirman84: there are multiple languages that help out in that area :) | 05:18 |
| ifireball | Bax_: (though the list of file may not provide much info as to how to use it) | 05:18 |
| TheOneAndOnly | amirman84, C#, and C++, Python, and Perl... | 05:18 |
| Starnestommy | amirman84: there are several languages that can do that. C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, and a lot of others | 05:18 |
| TheOneAndOnly | amirman84, we use them all | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | Bax_, aparanty its 'bt<SOMTHING>' | 05:18 |
| TheOneAndOnly | Starnestommy, PHP and Ruby can be used, but they are mostly for web development. | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | Bax_, /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.bittornado | 05:18 |
| Bax_ | ifireball: so btdownloadgui is a general command to fetch programs I just downloaded? | 05:19 |
| StPatrick | michael__, Sounds good to me man. Come to #HelpStPat? | 05:19 |
| thundr2 | TheOneAndOnly: Is there a language that is used the most commonly? | 05:19 |
| amirman84 | ok, i was just wondering because i see that there's a niche to be filled most specifically apps for young kids | 05:19 |
| hansin | Alan_M: Thanks. I know the minimal CLI install include both, but do you have any idea what the text-based installer uses? Just curious. Like I said, maybe it is lower level than either 'apt-get' or 'aptitude'?? | 05:19 |
| DeVonne | ok I have found it | 05:19 |
| ifireball | Bax_: no that's the command installed by the bittornado package | 05:19 |
| DeVonne | http://www.impactcomputers.com/dvem100686rw.html | 05:19 |
| TheOneAndOnly | thundr2, the kernel is in C#, but C++ is used commonly for apps. Python for gui apps is very common :] | 05:19 |
| amirman84 | my son is 2 1/2 and i was looking for some packages that could help him learn to use the mouse and stuff all i found was kletters and tuxpaint | 05:19 |
| DeVonne | this is the hardware | 05:19 |
| michael__ | stpatrick: ok im in there | 05:20 |
| thundr2 | TheOneAndOnly: Thanks :) | 05:20 |
| amirman84 | what language would be best for simple apps like that? | 05:20 |
| StPatrick | michael__, Uhh How? So am i... lol | 05:20 |
| TheOneAndOnly | thundr2, np :] | 05:20 |
| Alan_M | hansin, no idea exactly what it uses, most probably apt-get because thats what we tell users in here to use, from what ive seen its the more common one in here :D | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | amirman84, python is handy. | 05:20 |
| DeVonne | TheOneAndOnly: , http://www.impactcomputers.com/dvem100686rw.html | 05:20 |
| TheOneAndOnly | amirman84, i'd go with python | 05:20 |
| TheOneAndOnly | DeVonne, i saw the link, ty :] i'm reading it now | 05:20 |
| Alan_M | python :D | 05:20 |
| DeVonne | ok thanks | 05:20 |
| amirman84 | awesome i hope my college has a class on it | 05:21 |
| Alan_M | amirman84, and if not there are PLENTY of guides online for it. | 05:21 |
| TheOneAndOnly | amirman84, most colleges, even community, have some class for Python, but it will include other langs as well | 05:21 |
| level09 | making a directory writable by a webserver, does this mean 755 or 777? | 05:21 |
| steven__ | I am using the Darklooks theme for Gnome and now Firefox is displaying Text Boxes with dark colored background. Does anyone know how to change this? | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | level09, both are a little overkill. | 05:21 |
| level09 | what do u suggest :) ? | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | level09, the dir could just be owned by the webserver, and you wouldent need those modes | 05:22 |
| dibblego | how can I run a script on login? | 05:22 |
| passbe | does anyone else have problems extracting a multiple part rar file ? | 05:22 |
| TheOneAndOnly | level09, 777 will give everyone read write access, 755 will give owner read write, everyone else read only | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | dibblego, depends on the window manager. Kde has .kde/Autostart Directory. Gnome has the session management features | 05:22 |
| hansin | Alan_M: Thanks for the help/info. | 05:22 |
| vadillo | dibblego: what distro are you are using? | 05:22 |
| dibblego | Dr_willis, I am using GNOME | 05:22 |
| zm | i ask a question | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | dibblego, what program anyway? | 05:22 |
| level09 | how do I make it owned by webserver ? | 05:22 |
| Hellow | dibleggo, go to System - Preferences - Sessons for gnome | 05:22 |
| Alan_M | hansin, its what were here for :) | 05:23 |
| dibblego | Dr_willis, mozilla lightning | 05:23 |
| dibblego | Hellow, great thanks | 05:23 |
| thundr2 | amirman84: I can't vouch for the quality because I haven't read it, but this might be a good starting point for learning Python: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python | 05:23 |
| TheOneAndOnly | everyone, it's nice to see everyone getting so much help tonight :] | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | dibblego, start the program, save the session. it should autostart i think. | 05:23 |
| zm | why can't firefox install the flash player plugin? | 05:23 |
| TheOneAndOnly | thundr2, that is actually an excellent link, it's where i began | 05:23 |
| === steven__ is now known as Mannex | ||
| Dr_willis | zm, because one normally installs flash from the package maanger tool. | 05:23 |
| Alan_M | Theoneandonly, yeah awesome when there arent fights :) | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | !flash | zm | 05:23 |
| ubotu | zm: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 05:23 |
| vadillo | zm: 32 or 64 system? | 05:23 |
| TheOneAndOnly | Alan_M, haha, not even fights, it's nice to see that no one is flooding the room w. the same question this evening - lol | 05:24 |
| zm | sudo apt-get install flash ? | 05:24 |
| Alan_M | lol true as well TheOneAndOnly | 05:24 |
| Starnestommy | zm: try this: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:24 |
| Yowshi | how do i undelete something from the trash? i am not sure what duir these files came from but i didnt want to delete them | 05:24 |
| TheOneAndOnly | zm, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:24 |
| zm | yeah | 05:24 |
| pen | TheOneAndOnly: just use add/remove | 05:24 |
| pen | TheOneAndOnly: it's so much easier | 05:25 |
| TheOneAndOnly | pen, that too :] | 05:25 |
| Mannex | I am using the Darklooks theme for Gnome and now Firefox is displaying Text Boxes with dark colored background. Does anyone know how to change this? | 05:25 |
| Hellow | Yowshi: have you already deleted it or is it just in the trash? | 05:25 |
| michael__ | anyone else having wireless troubles? | 05:25 |
| Yowshi | just in the trash Hellow | 05:25 |
| TheOneAndOnly | Mannex, go into the appearance settings, and change the colors for your theme, should correct the issue, but will change the colors for everything else accordingly | 05:25 |
| amirman84 | michael_ : i've been there with wireless troubles | 05:26 |
| Hellow | Yowshi: hold on | 05:26 |
| michael__ | yeah im trying to help some people out | 05:26 |
| michael__ | it was a complete hassle to get mine working | 05:26 |
| zm | must i quit firefox first? | 05:26 |
| TheOneAndOnly | zm, no, but you need to restart after the install | 05:26 |
| Hellow | Yowshi: right click and press "Restore" | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | zm: that would be a good idea | 05:26 |
| zm | ok```now im installing | 05:27 |
| zm | thank you | 05:27 |
| DeVonne | TheOneAndOnly: have you read it? :) | 05:27 |
| Yowshi | Hellow there is no restore button | 05:27 |
| TheOneAndOnly | DeVonne, yeah, sorry. | 05:27 |
| Hellow | Yowshi: hold on | 05:27 |
| amirman84 | michael_ : i just ended up using vmware workstation to install ubuntu on a vm so i could use the bridged networking | 05:27 |
| michael__ | amirman81: what chipset is your card?? | 05:27 |
| icesword | no brige,use nat | 05:27 |
| icesword | then you get online | 05:27 |
| amirman84 | but i would like to eventually install it on a dedicated partition so i'll have to figure out the wireless stuff eventually | 05:27 |
| amirman84 | michael_: i believe it's broadcom | 05:28 |
| amirman84 | i use the dell drivers on my windows machine | 05:28 |
| DeVonne | TheOneAndOnly: do you know what is wrong? | 05:28 |
| thundr2 | Yowshi: You should be able to just drag and drop the files to whichever folder you want them in. | 05:28 |
| TheOneAndOnly | DeVonne, i'm checking into it... | 05:28 |
| michael__ | amirman84: no shit garuntee i get it working in less than 20 min | 05:28 |
| TheOneAndOnly | google's not turning up much... | 05:28 |
| DeVonne | ok thank you | 05:28 |
| Yowshi | thundr2: i dont recall where they came from | 05:28 |
| amirman84 | really? | 05:28 |
| michael__ | amirman84: your using the bcm43xx driver in ubuntu right? | 05:29 |
| Yowshi | thundr2: i was cleaning out some rythm box list and clicked move to trash instead of remove | 05:29 |
| Mannex | TheOneAndOnly, thank you | 05:29 |
| amirman84 | i think that's the one it installed when i was using linux mint so probably | 05:29 |
| Hellow | Yowshi: idk, im going to make a suggestion that they include a "Restore" function in the next release of Ubuntu | 05:29 |
| amirman84 | it doesnt work at all though | 05:29 |
| michael__ | amirman84: i use a broadcom card myself =P i have a way that worked for me if you wanna try it out ?? | 05:29 |
| TheOneAndOnly | Mannex, for what exactly? heh | 05:29 |
| michael__ | amirman84: mine didnt either | 05:29 |
| amirman84 | well i could do it right now since i'm on a vm | 05:29 |
| Mannex | TheOneAndOnly, lol your suggestion regarding a previous question... nVm ;-) | 05:30 |
| thundr2 | Yowshi: It probably came from your Home directory. Under a directory like /.rhythmbox | 05:30 |
| amirman84 | but i would love to know how to do it | 05:30 |
| TheOneAndOnly | Mannex, as long as your issue got resolved, i'm happy i could help :] | 05:30 |
| amirman84 | do you use NDISwrapper? | 05:30 |
| pierrelux | bazhang: just to tell you it worked with hardy. i don't know what was wrong. maybe a wrong partitioning | 05:30 |
| ntorido | How can i make a back up in ubuntu? | 05:30 |
| michael__ | amirman84: allright lemme see if i can find the link if not you wouldnt mind if i sent you some things would you ? | 05:30 |
| amirman84 | not at all | 05:30 |
| Yowshi | thundr2: no i told it to import the entire home folder i thought it would only import sound files but it seems not | 05:30 |
| Bax_ | in the terminal, after executing something and nothing happens, How do I exit or get that program to quit so I can return to the command line? | 05:30 |
| amirman84 | how would you send it? | 05:31 |
| Starnestommy | Bax_: Ctrl+C | 05:31 |
| TheOneAndOnly | ntorido, a back up of what exactly? | 05:31 |
| michael__ | amirman84: ok because i have saved to a folder for when i update but i think it should work for you do you have a copy of your driver? | 05:31 |
| ntorido | A folder | 05:31 |
| michael__ | amirman84: like this | 05:31 |
| amirman84 | the windows driver? | 05:32 |
| TheOneAndOnly | DeVonne, i'm not seeing much on google... sry =/ | 05:32 |
| michael__ | amirman84: yes | 05:32 |
| amirman84 | forgive my noobiness | 05:32 |
| ntorido | TheOneAndOnly,A folder. | 05:32 |
| DeVonne | ok :( thanks anyways | 05:32 |
| amirman84 | i can get a copy really quick from the dell website but it's a dell driver | 05:32 |
| TheOneAndOnly | ntorido, i'd say archive it using bzip... | 05:32 |
| amirman84 | it's branded with dell's name so i guess they made their own driver for the card | 05:32 |
| thundr2 | Yowshi: There should be a way to find out where it came from, perhaps by changing the view of the trash folder. I don't have Ubuntu running right now, so I can only be of limited help, sorry. | 05:32 |
| michael__ | amirman84: hey im a newb to wanna go to a seperate channel or do you mind if i message you pruvatley | 05:32 |
| Bax_ | so let me get this straight, everything in the /usr/bin are all the commands I can use in any other directory, right? | 05:32 |
| amirman84 | go ahead and private message me | 05:33 |
| Starnestommy | Bax_: yes, the same goes for /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin/, and /usr/local/sbin/ | 05:33 |
| [Rocc] | need help | 05:33 |
| Bax_ | Starnestommy: what's the difference between each of those directories? commands are more special? | 05:34 |
| thundr2 | [Rocc]: What is your problem? | 05:34 |
| [Rocc] | Wireless wont work... | 05:34 |
| gliss | need beer | 05:34 |
| CaptainMorgan | can someone tell me real quick if Hardy will be an LTS version ? | 05:34 |
| TheOneAndOnly | ntorido, run sudo apt-get install bzip2 to make sure bzip is installed then run man bzip2, that should help you out :] | 05:34 |
| CaptainMorgan | !LTS | 05:34 |
| ubotu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 05:34 |

| TheOneAndOnly | CaptainMorgan, yes, hardy is LTS | 05:34 |

| gogeta | RedScare acpi probly runs the fans slower | 06:01 |
| AngryBacon | Delson: Rule number X of irc, don't ask to ask, just ask | 06:01 |
| RedScare | i get more noise typically as well though gogeta | 06:01 |
| RedScare | its very odd | 06:01 |
| Zelta | Do you guys mind if I ask a question about asking a question about an issue I'm having regarding the asking of questions? | 06:01 |
| TheOneAndOnly | RedScare, that's exactly it. that is the lowest freq these processors will run at, any lower (you could hack around it) and you would notice major system issues | 06:01 |
| gogeta | RedScare naa its turning em up then back down | 06:01 |
| RedScare | from what little I've read 8.04 beta has better power management | 06:02 |
| TheOneAndOnly | RedScare, that noise you hear is the fan kicking on, there are ways to get them to not kick on until certain temps though | 06:02 |
| Delson | well u know how windows has like a grid so to speak for desktop icons....can i get ubuntu to have a more organized grid | 06:02 |
| Delson | and iwanna make all the icons smaller | 06:02 |
| thundr2 | RedScare: Is the CPU load similar between Ubuntu and Vista? | 06:02 |
| gogeta | TheOneAndOnly he can kill acpi and let the bios handel it or just let em run at 100% | 06:03 |
| bobc | I'm trying to install a new hard drive in my system which will replace my existing drive and I'm having a problem with installing grub. grub-install /dev/sdb returns /dev/evms/hda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. Can anyone help me make sense of this? | 06:03 |
| [Rocc] | Um, did i get a answer, sorry ive been eating | 06:03 |
| AngryBacon | [Rocc]: scroll up | 06:03 |
| izinucs | thundr2, no Vista is much hungrier | 06:03 |
| RedScare | CPU load is similar | 06:03 |
| sjovan | donkey7186: btw... you don't need a plugin. you can add radiostations by default. or are you thinking about picking up signals from the air? | 06:03 |
| DeVonne | Does anyone know why when I put in a cd it can't read it? says there is no media | 06:03 |
| gogeta | RedScare yea its just your fans running diffrently | 06:03 |
| donkey7186 | sjovan im trying to add a radio station. but when i try and add it it isnt working | 06:04 |
| gogeta | RedScare as long as its not hitting danger levels i wouldent worry | 06:04 |
| hellonull | delson: i'm pretty sure it is more of a matter of configuring your desktop environment, not necessarily ubuntu | 06:04 |
| RedScare | I'm not too worried about the heat | 06:04 |
| sjovan | donkey7186: so, do you get some kinde of error? | 06:04 |
| RedScare | its simply that I bought this because it ran sooo cool in my lap | 06:04 |
| TheOneAndOnly | RedScare, if you're on battery power, you can run powertop to increase batter life | 06:04 |
| donkey7186 | sjovanyea says that its not supported and a plugin may need to be installed | 06:04 |
| RedScare | as opposed to my AMD X2 64 | 06:04 |
| pen | TheOneAndOnly: I don't see the difference? | 06:04 |

| DeVonne | Does anyone know why when I put in a cd it can't read it? says there is no media | 06:05 |
| gogeta | RedScare hence more heat | 06:05 |
| thundr2 | Delson: I know that the icons (on the desktop at least) are able to be stretched and zoomed to whatever size you want, or do you want all icons throughout Ubuntu to look like that? | 06:05 |
| pen | DeVonne: what ? Audio CD? | 06:05 |
| DeVonne | game cd | 06:05 |
| hellonull | DeVonne: have you tried manually mounting it? | 06:05 |

| sjovan | donkey7186: wierd... i can't remember installing any plugins. maby a simple google would help you | 06:06 |
| donkey7186 | well if i give you the website can you try? | 06:06 |
| kenboo | someone compiled for Debian but couldn't find it for Ubuntu | 06:06 |
| gogeta | RedScare set the temp thresh hold lower so the fans will cool it more | 06:06 |
| Delson | i want all the icons to be niform | 06:06 |
| DeVonne | how do I manually mount it? | 06:06 |
| Delson | uniform | 06:06 |
| gogeta | RedScare but you lose battery life | 06:06 |
| AngryBacon | wouldn't the debian one work? | 06:06 |
| RedScare | doesn't make sense why there's not a closer solution | 06:07 |
| RedScare | on my HP my battery with vista runs around 1.45, on my gateway with core 2 on vista I get up to 3.5 hours very easily | 06:07 |
| TheOneAndOnly | pen, it will usually give you a small amount more, some systems it won't... mine it gave me 30 more mins | 06:07 |
| RedScare | on ubuntu 2 if I'm lucky | 06:07 |
| thundr2 | Delson: To do that on the desktop, you just right click the icon and go to stretch icon. To do that for all of them, one second I'm checking | 06:07 |
| gogeta | RedScare well you can turn off acpi but then they will run at 100% all the time prosser and fans | 06:07 |
| gogeta | RedScare you willlose alot of batery power | 06:08 |
| TheOneAndOnly | pen, you would also need to run it as sudo | 06:08 |

| sjovan | donkey7186: shure thing | 06:09 |
| sjovan | donkey7186: what's the url | 06:09 |

My question is: Can i recover my files using a live cd or similar without formating the hard drive thus erasing everything anyway. I want my files off the HD before i make my move to a fresh install of ubuntu. | 06:14 |
| donkey7186 | im not in canada | 06:14 |
| p_vas_salotti | HE MEN | 06:14 |
| DeVonne | I can try booting the live cd with it if that will convince people it works | 06:14 |
| donkey7186 | i listen to it all the time on windows but i cant on here | 06:14 |
| RedScare | of course Enix | 06:14 |
| gogeta | donkey7186 so | 06:14 |
| gogeta | donkey7186 usa proxy | 06:14 |
| p_vas_salotti | QUI PARLE FRANCAIS | 06:14 |
| donkey7186 | how | 06:14 |
| monkeyBox | What's the difference between powernowd and cpufreq? | 06:14 |
| Enix | RedScare: mind pointing me to some good reading material? | 06:14 |
| gogeta | donkey7186 you can be in iran for all i care use a proxy | 06:14 |
| Ziroday | AngryBacon: then thats the really new card and 7.10 does not have the updated nvidia drivers for that card yet. You can either run 8.04 which is currently in beta or compile the latest nvidia drivers by hand | 06:14 |
| DeVonne | if I boot the live cd and it works, then what do you recommend? | 06:14 |
| donkey7186 | well how do i do that | 06:15 |
| RedScare | Enix, its actually very simple, since Ubuntu has built in NTFS support | 06:15 |
| pen | DeVonne: boot it first | 06:15 |
| DeVonne | ok be right back | 06:15 |
| hellonull | wait DeVonne | 06:15 |
| sjovan | donkey7186: have you tryed any other "radio" services then? | 06:15 |
| DeVonne | ok | 06:15 |
| donkey7186 | yes | 06:16 |
| hellonull | try hdc instead of cdrom0 in that command i gave you earlier | 06:16 |
| AngryBacon | Ziroday: I installed the new drivers from nVidia, but it still doesn't work | 06:16 |
| donkey7186 | they all work but not this one | 06:16 |
| gogeta | donkey7186 somewebsite acully do it foryou | 06:16 |
| DeVonne | ok | 06:16 |
| Enix | ah, i c, can it be accesed via the terminal right from the get go, or is there some configuring beforhand? | 06:16 |
| AngryBacon | Ziroday: what version of the drivers does hardy come with? | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | Enix, Boot the LiveCD, go to Places -> Computer, copy the files, rejoice :) | 06:16 |
| izinucs | AngryBacon, did you install them with gdm stopped? I think that's the correct method | 06:16 |
| DeVonne | mount: special device /hda1/hdc does not exist | 06:16 |
| RedScare | Enix, Jordan is spot on, that is really all there is to it | 06:17 |
| AngryBacon | inzincus: yes.. | 06:17 |
| * AngryBacon feels a tad patronized by that one | 06:17 | |
| RedScare | it will normally automount | 06:17 |
| DeVonne | i tried | 06:17 |
| DeVonne | root@visionary-desktop:~# mount -t iso9660 /media/cdrom0 /cdrom | 06:17 |
| DeVonne | mount: /media/cdrom0 is not a block device | 06:17 |
| Enix | I bow to you kind sirs, have a good evening (or whatever it is where u are). :) | 06:17 |
| RedScare | if it doesn't its because windows has crashed and the drive has set to be active | 06:17 |
| Ziroday | AngryBacon: try using envy by alberto milone, it makes installing the latest drivers really easy http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 06:17 |
| AngryBacon | Ziroday: tried it | 06:17 |
| RedScare | in which case you will have to - force | 06:17 |
| gogeta | http://proxy.org/ | 06:17 |
| gogeta | just use a us proxy and enjoy | 06:17 |
| izinucs | AngryBacon, did you check xorg.conf to see if "nvidia" is listed as the driver? how bout running nvidia-settings? | 06:18 |
| Ziroday | AngryBacon: well then I can't help you, good luck | 06:18 |
| RedScare | its remarkably simple Enix | 06:18 |
| RedScare | Happy unixing | 06:18 |
| AngryBacon | izinucs: yup | 06:18 |
| gogeta | might need to use a few to find one fast enough | 06:18 |
| pen | DeVonne: hm, btw, can you describe your problem again? Do you mean the CD icon doesn't change if you insert cd into it? | 06:18 |
| AngryBacon | also, nvidia-settings doesn't work unless the driver is already runnning | 06:18 |
| izinucs | Ziroday, envy is not a good suggestion.. using it may bork your system on upgrade. | 06:18 |
| monkeyBox | Anyone familiar w/ cpufreqd? It's currently reporting my speed is at 800Mhz when I have a 2.2Ghz cpu | 06:19 |

| DeVonne | when I am in places -> computer and try to open the cd it says no media, and cedega says no medium | 06:19 |
| AngryBacon | jim: izinucs suggested it | 06:19 |
| gogeta | donkey7186 enjoy | 06:19 |
| pen | DeVonne: how abotu audio cd? other kinds of cd? | 06:20 |
| jim | ahh, ok... but think about it: if you have a settings app, you might need the thing to which the settings are applied | 06:20 |
| Ziroday | izinucs: yes. or it may fix your install :) | 06:20 |
| DeVonne | let me get one | 06:20 |

| Kemrin1 | I lost the Game | 06:22 |
| hhMish_ | How do I install dpkg & apt-get back on system on which it was erased or never installed ? | 06:22 |
| umop | How can i find the file that shows me mount options for a USb drive, it's mounting as read only for some reason(i cant see anything in /etc/fstab) | 06:22 |
| Ziroday | hellonull: you need to look at reason why mysql is not installing | 06:22 |
| hellonull | Ziroday: where do i find that? | 06:23 |
| DeVonne | the audio cd did not work, I am going to try the boot cd | 06:23 |
| gogeta | umop ntfs? | 06:23 |
| Ziroday | hellonull: it should say in the error messages when you install it | 06:23 |
| monkeyBox | RedScare, cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 2200 | 06:23 |
| gogeta | umop oh qwait the new ubuntu has ntfs rw by efult humm | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | gogeta, unless the partition is flagged as needign checked by windows. | 06:24 |
| umop | gogeta, Yeah, but i'm not even sure what format the drive is | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | gogeta, then it goes to read only. :) | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | umop, 'sudo fdisk -l' and look | 06:24 |
| gogeta | true | 06:24 |
| DistroJockey | hhMish_: I doubt it was never installed. What does: man dpkg return? | 06:24 |
| thundr2 | Delson: Sorry, I don't know exactly where to find it. It should be fairly easy to find, but it's been quite a while since I've used Ubuntu. I know the setting is there. Perhaps it's in the xorg.conf file or whatever the correct config file or utility is. Perhaps someone else can give a more clear answer? | 06:24 |
| ntorido | Whats the best program for doing vector graphics in linux? | 06:24 |
| gogeta | Dr_willis cant he use ntfsfix to reair a usb drive | 06:25 |
| hhMish_ | DistroJockey, it was probably erased, it is appliance where I need to install it back | 06:25 |
| cabrioleur | ntorido, inkscape or sodipodi | 06:25 |
| gogeta | reapir | 06:25 |
| thundr2 | ntorido: inkscape comes to mind, but there are others | 06:25 |
| pen | DeVonne: I think your linux doesn't set your CDRom drive up properly, try reboot with CDRom taken off | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | ntorido, Or xara | 06:25 |
| RedScare | monkey are you running that as sudo | 06:25 |
| hellonull | !pastebin | 06:25 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 06:25 |
| Dr_willis | gogeta, he could. - i hear its best to let windows fix it however. | 06:25 |
| hhMish_ | DistroJockey, mans were erased, too | 06:25 |
| pen | DeVonne: or reinsert your cdrom | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | !best | ntorido | 06:25 |
| ubotu | ntorido: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:25 |
| DeVonne | do you mean unplug it? | 06:25 |
| DistroJockey | hhMish_: eek! | 06:25 |
| hhMish_ | let's ignore small difficulties | 06:25 |
| pen | DeVonne: well, reinsert | 06:26 |
| umop | Dr_willis, Hmm ok | 06:26 |
| hhMish_ | and move on | 06:26 |
| hhMish_ | is there something like dpkg --root /mnt/sys , or I need debootstrap for that ? | 06:26 |
| DeVonne | what do you mean reinsert? just unplug and plug it back in> | 06:26 |
| zm | scim dead means what? | 06:26 |
| thundr2 | ntorido: if you're familiar with Adobe Illustrator, you should be fairly comfortable with Inkscape. I haven't tried the others extensively, though. They might fit your needs better. | 06:27 |
| hellonull | Ziroday: it fails to "start mysql database server mysqld"... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62282/ | 06:27 |
| DeVonne | pen: do you want me to boot without the cdrom drive then with it? | 06:27 |
| pen | DeVonne: course, try it | 06:27 |
| DeVonne | pen: ok brb | 06:27 |
| umop | Dr_willis, Okay - it must be fat32, it mounts fine on another Ubuntu install, just read only on my current box | 06:28 |

| Dr_willis | pyrak, you asked for a 'command' to unzip a tar. :) unp can do it. | 06:32 |
| AngryBacon | gogeta: its a problem if i can't get faster than 1mbps | 06:32 |
| gogeta | ***AngryBacon thats all i get hear 1.6 mbs | 06:32 |
| Dr_willis | umop, that sounds like a usb issue.. or somthing else real odd. You DID so 'sudo fdisk -l' ? | 06:32 |
| Delson | true...u sed vista for about a month | 06:32 |
| gogeta | 1.5 | 06:32 |
| Delson | i couldnt tolerate it | 06:32 |
| Mashandar | 1.5mbps is the fastest I can get where I live | 06:32 |
| gogeta | ***AngryBacon cable or dsl thats the max | 06:32 |

| ashbringer | tonyyarusso: It was definitely in in feisty, or at least I know I installed it without doing anything special... | 06:34 |
| Dr_willis | umop, since its a usb drive. it got automounted i imagine, and dosent have a fstab entry. You could unmountit, and remoubnt it manually with the proper options to let users access it. | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | Randocal: System > Prefs > Sessions | 06:34 |
| DOOM_NX | jim so what do i do? | 06:35 |

| umop | Dr_willis, yeah I have been doing that, not the greatest solution - guess I'll keep looking | 06:35 |
| jim | debug it... find the problem... fix it (got C chops?)... submit a bug report with a patch | 06:35 |

| z3ek | ok its saying "please click on the window you want to add to the tray etc" but when i clike on Evolution nothing happens | 07:01 |
| tonyyarusso | aop | 07:01 |
| happosade | "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" WT..? | 07:01 |
| Jonnie | [13:56] Jonnie: tried to install ubuntu 6.06 lts server onto a new hp proliant ml110 g5 with sata hdd and cdrom.. installing from cd.. boot ok... then it says no cdrom detected.. | 07:01 |
| pyrak | while we're discussing annoying things: | 07:02 |
| softtower | Jonnie: this is super-weird. | 07:02 |
| NickRivers | is hardy heron going to be the next LTS release? | 07:02 |
| pyrak | i used to be able to use a screensaver preference to make my screen lock when i closed the lid of my lappy | 07:02 |
| tonyyarusso | NickRivers: for Ubuntu, yes. | 07:02 |
| NickRivers | kewl | 07:02 |
| recon | NickRivers: yes, but not for Kubuntu. I think. | 07:03 |
| tonyyarusso | correct | 07:03 |
| Jonnie | softtower: it says load own cdrom drivers? | 07:03 |
| Survivorman | I believe mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution allows you to have a persistent icon on the bar and then checks your mail and alerts you when you have new mail. it can open evolution for you too z3ek. | 07:03 |
| softtower | Jonnie: I've never seen anything like this. I am afraid I won't be able to help | 07:04 |
| Jonnie | :( | 07:04 |
| N3WFI3 | so i just create a primary partition i guess in disc management tools? | 07:04 |
| N3WFI3 | then i can install linux i guess | 07:04 |
| N3WFI3 | lol | 07:04 |
| happosade | "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" ? | 07:04 |
| recon | N3WFI3: ...if you're going to install linux on it, why do you need windows to recognize it | 07:04 |
| jim | tonyyarusso: so you don't allow dissent here? | 07:05 |
| softtower | Jonnie: I would go into BIOS and double-checked everything that has something to do with CD-ROM or SATA/ATA (your CD-ROM is SATA, right?) | 07:05 |
| N3WFI3 | just bored | 07:05 |
| N3WFI3 | so is it best to leave it alone or convert to ntsc? | 07:05 |
| tonyyarusso | jim: It's offtopic - support only in official support channels (otherwise the channel would be full of cruft and useless) | 07:05 |
| N3WFI3 | ntfs*** | 07:05 |
| Jonnie | yes sata, in bios its auto config.. nothing to config.. notthing like enhance performance... | 07:05 |
| recon | N3WFI3: if you install linux on said partition that windows just recognized, windows probably won't recognize it anymore. | 07:05 |
| NickRivers | N3WFI3: are you planning on dual booting? | 07:05 |
| tonyyarusso | jim: there is, however, an #ubuntu-offtopic that allows many more topics (but still not all) | 07:06 |
| N3WFI3 | i'm thinking about a dual boot situation ya | 07:06 |
| DeVonne | I am having a cdrom problem also, linux wont read the disc's | 07:06 |
| NickRivers | N3WFI3: which distro? with ubuntu live cd it can automatically resize your windows partition and set up linux in the reclaimed free space | 07:06 |
| jim | ok, I see... so you're banning him after he left so that he will... hmm, I don't know how to finish the sentence | 07:06 |
| softtower | Jonie: modern BIOSes have all kinds of weirdo SATA/PATA "modes". I would just went through every screen: I had issues like "no hard drive detected" that were caused by SATA "mode" setting in BIOS. | 07:07 |
| recon | jim: it will automatically redirect him to #ubuntu-ops for any further "inquiries". | 07:07 |
| z3ek | N3WFI3: when you install ubuntu it will install Grub a boot loader | 07:07 |
| z3ek | so you can keep Windows too | 07:07 |
| Radar | yay.. help vampires galore. | 07:07 |
| tonyyarusso | jim: have a chance to have a friendly conversation about it first, before being let back in. Usually works pretty well. ("usually") | 07:07 |
| N3WFI3 | im just dling the 7.10 desktop iso | 07:07 |
| NickRivers | N3WFI3: that is the live cd... it can automatically resize your NTFS partition to make space for linux | 07:08 |
| softtower | So weird to hear "you can keep Windows too". :-) Sounds like "You can switch to ice cream, but keep a box of dog poop in case you want to get back to your old habits" :-))) | 07:08 |
| recon | N3WFI3: there is no need to partition anything inside windows, ubuntu's installer has a built-in partitioner and bootloader setup that will use automagically set up a dual-boot. | 07:08 |
| gogeta | softtower prretty mutch | 07:08 |
| recon | N3WFI3: btw, are you using a partition or a whole hard disk? | 07:08 |
| kenboo | ubuntu + wine is just good enough for me. I rarely have to boot Windows. | 07:09 |
| N3WFI3 | i got 2 hard drives so i would prefer to install linux on the second drive | 07:09 |
| jim | you should be able to do that | 07:09 |
| jim | (true of any linux) | 07:09 |
| NickRivers | N3WFI3: the live cd you are downloading will do the partitioning for you - no need to mess with it in windows | 07:09 |
| N3WFI3 | i guess i just select the drive when i begin install? | 07:09 |
| recon | N3WFI3: the ubuntu installer has a "guided partitioning" in which you select the second hard drive, and it automatically sets everything up for you, including the dual-boot. | 07:09 |
| xyyzzz | What would be the easiest method about which I could go to install a .RPM? Is there a package I should download that does it all for me? | 07:10 |
| recon | N3WFI3: No messy manual partitioning required. | 07:10 |
| N3WFI3 | ok cool | 07:10 |
| michael__ | yeah just choose your drive in the installer | 07:10 |
| recon | xyyzzz: alien. | 07:10 |
| === z3ek is now known as Jez | ||
| recon | !alien | xyyzzz | 07:10 |
| ubotu | xyyzzz: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:10 |
| === Jez is now known as z3ek | ||
| jim | no messy manual to read? | 07:10 |
| N3WFI3 | i may need some help getting started when i begin install, this is my first time ever trying linux :) | 07:10 |
| N3WFI3 | im sure it will be pretty smooth tho | 07:10 |

| xyyzzz | recon, many thanks :)) | 07:11 |
| N3WFI3 | ya vista sux | 07:11 |
| recon | N3WFI3: the installer is "click and forget". after filling out some basic information (name, stuff you want to log in with) it'll automatically do the rest. | 07:11 |
| N3WFI3 | can i login without a pass? | 07:11 |

| bullgard4 | Why does the Ubuntu notification service use a notification-daemon instead of an ordinary subprogram? | 07:11 |
| N3WFI3 | i guess i will just set one to make things easy | 07:11 |
| jim | N3WFI3: one of the thousands of programs available for linux is the x window system, a graphical display system for programs... you can use it... you also don't have to | 07:11 |
| recon | N3WFI3: not recommended, but there's probably a way posted on the internet somewhere. | 07:12 |
| recon | N3WFI3: however, a password of "e" is better than no password. | 07:12 |
| N3WFI3 | haha yup | 07:12 |
| NickRivers | N3WFI3: you want to have a password... it's part of that whole 'security' think that microsoft fails to understand lol | 07:12 |
| N3WFI3 | i'm guessing it will auto detect my display driver | 07:12 |

| DeVonne | Ubuntu won't mount cd's I know it works because live cd worked, can someone help me? | 07:13 |
| N3WFI3 | so when my download is complete do i just open it up and install or can i mount with daemon tools | 07:13 |
| NickRivers | N3WFI3: it will setup a non-3d accelerated driver for your nvidia during install and then once you boot into your system you can install the proprietary nvidia driver | 07:13 |
| recon | N3WFI3: it'll auto-detect. You'll also see a "restricted drivers" thing when you first boot. That is the wizard that installs proprietary drivers. | 07:13 |
| jim | DeVonne: what does linux think your cd is? /dev/what? | 07:14 |
| recon | N3WFI3: neither. you have to burn it to a disc, and reboot. it'll boot from the disc. | 07:14 |
| DeVonne | jim: how do I check? | 07:14 |
| N3WFI3 | do i have to :9 | 07:14 |

| michael__ | hey i just installed krfb were can i find it if i can use it all on reggular ubuntu | 07:40 |
| zm | ok` | 07:40 |
| JessMeister | I'm having issues installing Ubuntu on my old laptop. | 07:41 |
| XTeLiS | what kind ? | 07:41 |
| XTeLiS | use xubuntu | 07:41 |
| XTeLiS | on older systems | 07:41 |
| JessMeister | Compaq presario 1675 | 07:41 |
| Survivorman | zm, http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/5. go to the next page for 1.6. | 07:41 |
| XTeLiS | hrmm... at least its not a delll | 07:42 |
| XTeLiS | dell even | 07:42 |
| JessMeister | whats wrong with dells? | 07:42 |
| Survivorman | zm, it takes a looooong time, live an hour or so to fully install, but it works. | 07:42 |
| XTeLiS | ubuntu hates dell | 07:42 |
| JessMeister | oh haha | 07:42 |
| XTeLiS | hard to set them up correctly | 07:42 |
| Survivorman | *like | 07:42 |
| zm | yeah.. | 07:42 |
| bullgard4 | Why does the Ubuntu notification service use a notification-daemon instead of an ordinary subprogram? | 07:42 |
| XTeLiS | well at least mine was a pain in the neck | 07:42 |
| zm | maybe i should give up it | 07:42 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: only if it has a Dell Broadcom wireless card | 07:42 |
| XTeLiS | which i have | 07:43 |
| XTeLiS | ;/ | 07:43 |
| Survivorman | zm, if your connection is fast, it might be less. I'm only on slower dsl. | 07:43 |
| zm | all right | 07:43 |
| XTeLiS | and im still having a hella time tryin to config my wireless | 07:43 |
| XTeLiS | it 'says' its installed | 07:43 |
| jim | it? | 07:44 |
| XTeLiS | but i can seem to connect to any of the wireless networks around my neighborhood like i could with vista or xp | 07:44 |
| jim | it? | 07:44 |
| XTeLiS | it - drivers for my wireless card | 07:44 |
| === bluefoxx_ is now known as bluefoxx | ||
| XTeLiS | can = cant | 07:44 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Hello, I am having trouble with gnome-ppp. Can someone help? | 07:45 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: the drivers should be there automatically on 7.10, but you need firmware | 07:45 |
| jim | ok, what's the next step assuming the drivers are present? | 07:45 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: are you on that computer right now? | 07:45 |
| XTeLiS | yes | 07:45 |
| XTeLiS | using wired connect | 07:45 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: ok download http://macoafi.googlepages.com/firmware.tar.gz | 07:45 |
| XTeLiS | firmware ? | 07:45 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: firmware is the part that the card itself loads and then the OS uses the driver to talk to the firmware to tell the card what to do | 07:45 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: at least, that's my understanding of it. anyone is free to correct. | 07:46 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: i tar'd up the firmware from my mom's computer. she has a broadcom card too. | 07:46 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: after it's downloaded to your desktop, double click it to extract it. open a terminal (apps -> accessories -> terminal) and type "cd Desktop" (with the capitals) | 07:48 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: then type "sudo mv firmware/* /lib/firmware/" and hit enter | 07:48 |
| macogw | XTeLiS: and then it *should* work | 07:48 |

| gliss | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62285/ | 07:53 |

| N3WFI3 | ya | 07:53 |
| MrSkittle | um, it's the "error committing changes" thing | 07:53 |
| putergirl | . | 07:53 |
| Dr_willis | N3WFI3, i like 'burnatonce' for windows | 07:53 |
| gliss | ok | 07:53 |
| MrSkittle | there's a certain command that fixes it automagically | 07:53 |
| MrSkittle | what is it? | 07:53 |
| MrSkittle | dpgk-configure or something? | 07:54 |
| gliss | a girl? | 07:54 |
| macogw | N3WFI3: what about the iso power toy for windows that ms released? | 07:54 |
| gliss | in an ubuntu chat room at 3am?! | 07:54 |
| tonyyarusso | gliss: don't be annoying. | 07:54 |
| gliss | i'm not being annoying, i'm bing funny | 07:54 |
| N3WFI3 | windows made one? | 07:54 |
| gliss | there's a subtle difference | 07:54 |
| macogw | gliss: of course. | 07:54 |
| DOOM_NX | what do i need to compile mplayer? | 07:55 |
| Dr_willis | N3WFI3, i found 'burnatonce' better then the ms one. | 07:55 |
| N3WFI3 | ya | 07:55 |
| gliss | tonyyarusso: i let her off easy, i was going to make a joke about philly | 07:55 |
| Survivorman | MrSkittle, were you thinking sudo dpkg --configure -a | 07:55 |
| macogw | N3WFI3: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm | 07:55 |
| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, a whole lot of dependencies... and build-essential package | 07:55 |
| N3WFI3 | i tried iso recorder | 07:55 |
| macogw | N3WFI3: right click an iso and there's a burn option | 07:55 |
| N3WFI3 | it gave me an error | 07:55 |
| tonyyarusso | gliss: and yet you're on thin enough ice as it is. | 07:55 |
| N3WFI3 | i think its cause im running sp3 beta | 07:55 |
| MrSkittle | Survivorman: that's probably it | 07:55 |
| gliss | so why can't i install swf-player? | 07:55 |
| gliss | why is there a gtk conflict? | 07:55 |
| cabrioleur | DOOM_NX, not much, it's up to you actually. There is a lot of options, and a compiler is a minimum. The rest of it is up to you. | 07:55 |
| gliss | i haven't touched the repos | 07:56 |
| jim | gliss: but if you are able to help hold this space safe for her, she might actually say something | 07:56 |
| DOOM_NX | Dr_willis, i have already installed mplayer, but i need to recompile it with xmms demuxer support | 07:56 |
| gliss | tonyyarusso: my landlord turned the heat off because it's "spring" | 07:56 |
| Survivorman | I had the same problem gliss when I tested it, I could only install the version I gave you. | 07:56 |
| gliss | jim: oh, i'm not that interested | 07:56 |
| macogw | gliss: no. you're not being funny, by the way. it might've been funny when i first heard it nearly 2 years ago. it's not anymore. | 07:56 |

| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, hmm.. xmms support? what doex xmms have to do with it? | 07:57 |

| gliss | Survivorman: that one installed with out a problem | 07:58 |
| DOOM_NX | here | 07:58 |
| jim | DOOM_NX: it's not just configure with turning on options, then make? | 07:58 |
| MrSkittle | Survivorman: you were correct | 07:58 |
| DOOM_NX | see last section | 07:58 |
| MrSkittle | Survivorman: thanks | 07:58 |

| Survivorman | MrSkittle, no | 07:58 |
| Survivorman | gliss, gotcha | 07:58 |
| cabrioleur | DOOM_NX, download sources, unpack it, then make sure you have a compiler. Do ./configure --help and find --enable options for it. If it doesn't work, install dev package for thing that's needed. | 07:58 |
| tonyyarusso | zenix: bitlbee? | 07:58 |
| MrSkittle | this has been my most pleasant experience in this channel to date! | 07:58 |

| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, i cant imagine what you are doing that you need to recompile mplayer. | 08:03 |
| DOOM_NX | i told u, i want to play mp3pro files | 08:03 |
| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, ther is some apt-get command that can install all the needed deps for a package, when it was built. that may save a lot oftime | 08:04 |
| keiserr | hi | 08:04 |
| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, never heard of them. | 08:04 |
| N3WFI3 | my iso got deleted or something by mistake i dont even know how it happened | 08:04 |

| jim | DOOM_NX: if you're building anything that has a configure script... first read the readme to see what it needs for building... then run configure with the options you want... then run make | 08:04 |
| tonyyarusso | Dr_willis: apt-get build-dep, iirc | 08:04 |
| tonyyarusso | bah, beat to it | 08:04 |
| cabrioleur | N3WFI3, find / | grep nameofthefile.iso | 08:04 |
| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, so for a start you proberly want to do a 'sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer' | 08:05 |

| bluefoxx | zcat[1]: thanks :) | 08:14 |
| Survivorman | bluefoxx, np | 08:14 |
| DOOM_NX | tuntun, i don't know how to use alsa tables with XMMS :S | 08:14 |
| zcat[1] | and can't remember.. it might be -e rather than -E | 08:14 |
| DOOM_NX | Dr_willis, yes but it's playing at 22050Hz without mp3pro | 08:14 |
| jeebusmobile | man grep | 08:14 |
| DeVonne | Exteris: how do I mount them with nautilus? | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, no idea on that.. how can you prove it one way or another.. :) well good luck. | 08:15 |
| Exteris | DeVonne, if you see the partition, right click and select mount, but you might need to be root for that | 08:15 |
| n2diy | DeVonne: double click them with your mouse. | 08:15 |
| zcat[1] | Ummm.. whay are we telling ppl to use grep when we have tracker these days? | 08:15 |
| DOOM_NX | Dr_willis, wikipedia quote: Any mp3 player can play mp3PRO files but they will be played at half the intended sample rate. | 08:15 |
| jeebusmobile | DeVonne: mount /dev/sdaFOO /mnt/point | 08:16 |
| Exteris | zcat[1], can tracker search in a single file you tell it? | 08:16 |
| Exteris | jeebusmobile, ntfs3g ? | 08:16 |
| zcat[1] | Exteris: good point! | 08:16 |
| Dr_willis | DOOM_NX, mpga at 22050 it says.. sounds good to me.. well good luck. | 08:16 |
| DeVonne | Failed to mount '/dev/hda1': Operation not supported | 08:16 |
| DOOM_NX | Dr_willis, i've heard it at 44kHz and it sounds way better... but thanks anyway | 08:16 |
| DeVonne | Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: | 08:16 |
| Exteris | DeVonne, --force | 08:17 |
| jeebusmobile | DeVonne: what's on hda1 | 08:17 |
| Exteris | DeVonne, that happened because there was a nonclean shutdown of windows | 08:17 |
| Exteris | jeebusmobile, ntfs | 08:17 |
| DeVonne | my music etc | 08:17 |
| Oleander | can i install the live cd from my ext hdd? | 08:18 |
| CorbinFox | Oleander: you mean install ubuntu from the live cd to an ext hdd? | 08:18 |
| Exteris | Oleander, if you figure out how to boot from it | 08:18 |
| DeVonne | Exteris: I cant get it to shutdown cleanly it won't validate | 08:18 |
| pen | DeVonne: hi | 08:18 |
| Exteris | DeVonne, therefore you should try the command they give you in the error window (the one with the --force) | 08:18 |
| wbreslin951 | is there anything similar to guitar pro in ubuntu? | 08:18 |
| DeVonne | pen: hi | 08:18 |
| DeVonne | Exteris: will I get that again? | 08:19 |
| zcat[1] | wbreslin951: ummm.. frets on fire? | 08:19 |
| luke | hey guys, would a mac osx program work on ubuntu? | 08:19 |
| pen | DeVonne: try this excellent applet in gnome | 08:19 |
| pen | DeVonne: it's called Disk Mounter | 08:19 |
| macogw | luke: not likely. we have wine for windows apps. there's no compat layer for osx though. | 08:19 |
| macogw | luke: what app is it? i might no an alternative | 08:19 |
| pen | DeVonne: right click gnome panel and select add to panel | 08:19 |
| wbreslin951 | zcat[1]: frets on fire..? isn't that a game? | 08:19 |
| pen | DeVonne: and add Disk mounter | 08:19 |
| luke | PwnageTool | 08:19 |
| zcat[1] | what does guitar pro do? | 08:19 |
| bluefoxx | woa! dude! what just happened? | 08:20 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: teaching game | 08:20 |
| DOOM_NX | damn flooders | 08:20 |
| pen | blu | 08:20 |
| DOOM_NX | :P | 08:20 |
| pen | lol | 08:20 |
| macogw | bluefoxx: a bunch of bots were kicked | 08:20 |
| zcat[1] | Oh... ok no idea :) | 08:20 |
| wbreslin951 | zcat[1]: it creates tablature and stuff and plays back what u put in it | 08:20 |
| DeVonne | OK COOL! thanks pen | 08:20 |
| n2diy | macogw: Isn't OSX linux based? | 08:20 |
| bluefoxx | macogw: ah. i see... | 08:20 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: didnt mean game | 08:20 |
| pen | DeVonne: can you mount with that? | 08:20 |
| macogw | n2diy: no | 08:20 |
| macogw | n2diy: it uses FreeBSD userspace, and it's kernel is based on the Mach kernel | 08:20 |
| zcat[1] | OSX uses mach kernel I believe, basically *NIX based, not linux | 08:20 |
| pen | n2diy: no, it's BSD based | 08:21 |
| DeVonne | pen: I got them mounted with --force, but if it happens again I will try with that | 08:21 |
| luke | its called PwnageTool used for unlocking iphones and such | 08:21 |
| n2diy | Roger roger. | 08:21 |
| luke | would that work under ubuntu? the ext is .zip | 08:21 |
| zcat[1] | Linux is loosely based on *NIX tho | 08:21 |
| macogw | luke: oh. no idea there. um .zip is just an archive. whatever the program is is *inside* the zip, probably with a README | 08:21 |
| luke | ok | 08:21 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: but it definitely isnt binary compatible | 08:21 |
| luke | i know that zip is an archive... | 08:21 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: it just has the same filesystem | 08:21 |
| zcat[1] | not really, no.. :) | 08:21 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: and the same ideas for the main system calls....but the libraries are wayyy different | 08:22 |
| zcat[1] | same filesystem? I thought osx uses hfs+ or something? | 08:22 |
| wbreslin951 | any guitarists in here that are familiar with guitar pro in windows and know of any program similar to it for linux? | 08:22 |
| pen | wbreslin951: there is one I forgot the name | 08:23 |
| amidaniel | I imagine osx can use just about any unix-compatible file system | 08:23 |
| zcat[1] | amidaniel: not sure that it can.. Linux can use a few different fs's tho | 08:23 |
| luke | is there any way to run an osx program on windows or ubuntu? i dont want to waste 1000 for a mac computer for a program i want to use once | 08:24 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: wine guitar pro | 08:24 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: or wine powertabs | 08:24 |
| amidaniel | luke: Depends. What program? | 08:24 |
| n2diy | luke: google for "linux emulators"? | 08:24 |
| zcat[1] | wine.. or cedega perhaps | 08:24 |
| luke | just the iphone SDK | 08:24 |
| jeebusmobile | wine = wine is not an emmulator | 08:24 |
| pen | lol | 08:24 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: darn.. i don't have the installer disk for guitar pro anymore so there's no way i could do it.. | 08:25 |
| zcat[1] | what's cedega stand for? | 08:25 |
| Dream_Team | cedega is dead | 08:25 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: the hierarchy, i mean | 08:25 |
| zcat[1] | it is?! | 08:25 |
| pen | don't use cedega, it's useless now | 08:25 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: mount your windows partition | 08:25 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: and i meant that linux uses the same hierarchy as unix | 08:25 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: and as bsd. osx uses one like GoboLinux | 08:25 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: my windows comp is a totally seperate comp | 08:25 |
| luke | lol | 08:25 |
| zcat[1] | macogw: same basic layout, yeah.. | 08:25 |
| zcat[1] | or very similar | 08:25 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: nfs, scp, rsync et al | 08:25 |
| luke | any one with an iphone or ipod touch? | 08:25 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: like.. samba? | 08:26 |
| zenix | WTF? iphone sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 08:26 |
| macogw | zenix: ill agree. ew touchscreen | 08:26 |
| Dream_Team | luke: me. | 08:26 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: if there's no *nix on that box yes | 08:26 |
| pen | use itouch | 08:26 |
| pen | lol | 08:26 |
| luke | i have an iphone.... unlocked, activated and jailbroken | 08:26 |
| zcat[1] | fbsd is quite a shock when you're used to linux though.. basically the same but it's like moving to France in terms of culture shock.. | 08:26 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: whats *nix? | 08:26 |
| pen | wbreslin951: http://mikesubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/09/guitar-hero-for-ubuntu-frets-on-fire.html | 08:26 |
| luke | i can stream music from it to my ubuntu laptop | 08:26 |
| luke | YAY 4 ME | 08:26 |
| jeebusmobile | *nix = linux, unix | 08:26 |
| zcat[1] | just about everything is a little bit different | 08:27 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: yeah my windows comp is straight windows | 08:27 |
| zenix | who doesn't know what nix is? I'll strangle them!!!!!!! | 08:27 |
| luke | is Mandriva a decent linux distro? | 08:27 |
| Starnestommy | !ot | 08:27 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:27 |

| zenix | lol | 08:27 |
| jeebusmobile | zenix: couldn't choke a chiken | 08:27 |
| ZiggyFish_laptop | I'm trying to convert chm to pdf, but use the command chm2pdf it comes up with the usage message (the command I'm using is 'chm2pdf -book help.chm') | 08:27 |
| zenix | jeebusmobile: try me ;) | 08:27 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: yes, then use samba, copy your GP over and use wine | 08:28 |
| wbreslin951 | zenix: i just now god the hang of installing programs and such, samba was a real pain to set up.. | 08:28 |

| luke | is Mandriva a good linux distro? im lookig for many linux distros to test run | 08:28 |
| * zcat[1] doesn't want to hear about zenix choking his chicken.. gross.. | 08:28 | |
| luke | ubuntu so far is aswome | 08:28 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: sure, give it a shot | 08:28 |
| zenix | jeebusmobile: !graby me in #better? | 08:28 |
| tonyyarusso | luke: #ubuntu-offtopic please | 08:28 |
| luke | sorry | 08:28 |

| luke | thanks | 08:29 |
| Starnestommy | ZiggyFish_laptop: try chm2pdf --book help.chm | 08:29 |
| DOOM_NX | i use 'mplayer -channels 2 -ao alsa:device=newtable' to play something through all 4 channels of my soundcard. do u know the equivalent command for xmms? | 08:29 |
| zenix | jeebusmobile: friggin !grab my quote, I can't not say things forever! | 08:29 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: have u any idea if GP5 is a windows xp program only? im not sure and wine doesn't do xp as far as i know | 08:29 |
| ZiggyFish_laptop | Starnestommy: thanks | 08:29 |
| Starnestommy | wine does do XP | 08:29 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: wine does a lot of crap | 08:29 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: people play wow on wine | 08:29 |
| zenix | Wine does Vista better than Vista does Vista, damn it | 08:30 |
| wbreslin951 | mm.. didn't know that lol maybe my wines out of date? | 08:30 |
| jeebusmobile | wbreslin951: wines been doing XP for prolly as long as XP has been out | 08:30 |
| macogw | zenix: Vista needs Wine to run Photoshop :P | 08:30 |
| zcat[1] | WoW sure.. crappy old CD games like 'kitty love' -- nope.. (Don't ask.. my kid got it for christmas..) | 08:30 |
| sknh_ | can anyone explain me what ">logfile 2>&1" means? | 08:30 |
| ikm | how to install ubuntu in text mode? which option to select? | 08:30 |
| jeebusmobile | so unless you've been running ubuntu for 5 years no its not out of date | 08:30 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: mm.. so yeah lol.. i guess im a complete and total noob | 08:30 |
| zenix | jeebusmobile: !grab zenix, k? | 08:30 |
| tonyyarusso | ikm: use the !alternate cd | 08:30 |
| wbreslin951 | jeebusmobile: just installed bout a month ago.. | 08:30 |
| jeebusmobile | zenix: here? | 08:30 |
| macogw | sknh_: 2> means to pass stderr (standard error) | 08:30 |
| n2diy | zenix: close, what I read was Wine does Vista better than Windows does Vista!? :) | 08:30 |
| Starnestommy | sknh_: it means to send all output to logfile and send error messages to it, too | 08:31 |
| pen | guys, try playonlinux.com | 08:31 |
| N3WFI3 | ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso this is what i need right i have core 2 duo intel | 08:31 |
| zenix | jeebusmobile: no, there (points to #arch) | 08:31 |
| ikm | alternate CD is in the dvd rom drive and i rebot my pc now its asking to install intext mode... select it? | 08:31 |
| jeebusmobile | otay | 08:31 |
| macogw | sknh_: i think the 2>&1 means to output both standard out and standard error... | 08:31 |
| sknh_ | macogw: Starnestommy : thanks | 08:31 |
| tonyyarusso | ikm: yes | 08:31 |
| zcat[1] | N3WFI3: safe bet, if you're not sure, i386 will probably run.. | 08:31 |
| zenix | jeebusmobile: did phrik say "Tada!"? | 08:32 |
| sknh_ | Starnestommy: so the &1 here refers to logfile? | 08:32 |
| DOOM_NX | zcat[1], shouldn't he use the 64bit version? | 08:32 |
| tonyyarusso | N3WFI3: aren't the core 2 duo's 64-bit? | 08:32 |
| ikm | when i press install in text base mode, it shows me some DOS type text , is it normal? if yes. how long it will show me this kind of text? | 08:32 |
| jeebusmobile | zenix: didnt know you said it yea just grabed | 08:32 |
| zenix | heh | 08:32 |
| Starnestommy | sknh_: the &1 is a reference to the standard output stream, also called STDOUT | 08:32 |
| macogw | ikm: thats what text based mode means | 08:32 |
| heymr | ikm: just be patient | 08:32 |
| tonyyarusso | ikm: well, you said "text mode", so yes, it will all be in text... | 08:32 |
| zcat[1] | DOOM_NX: perhaps.. but if he's not sure i386 will work on both.. 64 bit won't work on 32bit cpu's.. | 08:32 |
| keiserr | hi, where is the ubuntu 7.10 server repository located? i want to fetch some files | 08:32 |
| DOOM_NX | though c2d is 64-bit | 08:32 |
| jmdc | !suspend | 08:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:33 |
| wbreslin951 | what would be an advantage of running a 32 bit distro on a 64bit machine? | 08:33 |
| macogw | keiserr: same place the normal 7.10 repo is located | 08:33 |
| heymr | ikm: you go through all the blue screens until it installs grub and stuff. then you reboot | 08:33 |
| tonyyarusso | keiserr: there are hundreds of mirrors. | 08:33 |
| DOOM_NX | wbreslin951, no advantage maybe | 08:33 |
| ikm | tonyyarusso: ahh ok, how long it will take? this is my first time to install linux in text base mode? is there any command or it will install automatically? | 08:33 |
| zcat[1] | wbreslin951: until recently, a lot of stuff like codecs and flash was only available 32bit and getting it to work in 64 was very hard.. nat's less true these days | 08:33 |
| zcat[1] | *that's | 08:33 |
| tonyyarusso | ikm: the time depends on your computer. Just follow the prompts. | 08:33 |
| n2diy | wbreslin951: the 32 bit apps. will work? | 08:33 |
| wbreslin951 | zcat[1]: yeah even a noob like me has flash working lol | 08:34 |
| ikm | tonyyarusso: thanks dear | 08:34 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: 32 bit apps will work in 64 bit | 08:34 |
| keiserr | macogw, : and where is that? | 08:34 |
| sknh_ | Starnestommy: 2>&1 means we are passing stderr to stdout | 08:34 |
| sknh_ | and >logfile means we are sending all output to this file | 08:34 |
| keiserr | tonyyarusso, :gimme one :) | 08:34 |
| macogw | keiserr: if your /etc/apt/sources.list is set up (which the installer did), it's already there | 08:34 |
| hellonull | looking to see if someone can help me fix my mysql server... it fails everytime it tries to start (mysqld)... tried reinstalling from synaptic, still same results | 08:34 |
| DOOM_NX | <wbreslin951> what would be an advantage of running a 32 bit distro on a 64bit machine? -> isn't it the same as running 32bit distro on 32bit machine? | 08:34 |
| sknh_ | Starnestommy: together it means we are sending all the output including errors to logfile? | 08:35 |
| n2diy | wbreslin951: Hmm, I guess so? The 32 bit hardware will work? | 08:35 |
| tonyyarusso | keiserr: us.archive.ubuntu.com, for the USA. | 08:35 |
| Starnestommy | sknh_: yes | 08:35 |
| macogw | keiserr: if you werent online when you did the setup, it might have everything commented out, in which case you should edit /etc/apt/sources.list so that all the lines that start wiht #deb just start with deb | 08:35 |
| sknh_ | Starnestommy: can u point me somewhere where I can learn more about this? | 08:35 |
| Conartist | hello everyone.. | 08:35 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: yup, 32 bit will work in 64 as well | 08:35 |
| zcat[1] | DOOM_NX: 32 bit will run just fine on a 64bit machine, you just miss out on some potential performance gains.. | 08:35 |
| blag | how would i go about using a database in a C++ program? | 08:35 |
| N3WFI3 | i thought 64 bit had bad driver support | 08:35 |
| threefcata | anyone knows how to adjust sensitivity of trackpoint on thinkpads? | 08:35 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: as long as u have a 64 bit processor | 08:35 |
| tonyyarusso | blag: that would be a question for the C++ channel (either #c++ or #cpp most likely - not sure) | 08:36 |
| zcat[1] | N3WFI3: it used to be really bad.. last 6 months it's changed a lot | 08:36 |
| wbreslin951 | N3WFI3: just with broadcom, but thats because they're stiff with open-sourcing | 08:36 |
| DOOM_NX | zcat i agree | 08:36 |
| pen | threefcata: hi | 08:36 |
| n2diy | wbreslin951: Hmm, seems you answered your own question? | 08:36 |
| Starnestommy | sknh_: try http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 08:36 |
| wbreslin951 | N3WFI3: but its the same with 32 | 08:36 |
| blag | threefcata: gsynaptics | 08:36 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: i thought it might be faster for one reason or another.. | 08:36 |
| threefcata | pen:hi | 08:36 |
| sknh_ | Starnestommy: thanks | 08:36 |
| macogw | blag: how does that answer his question? | 08:36 |
| Conartist | can anyone help me...my ubuntu system does not detect my soundcard ...but when i go on windows...everything is fine and dandy... | 08:36 |
| threefcata | blag: but isn't that for touchpad? | 08:36 |
| Conartist | i have dual boot | 08:37 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: maybe cause ur comp to run as a virtual dual core? i dunno, im not to smart when it comes to hardware issues | 08:37 |
| Conartist | plssssss | 08:37 |
| macogw | blag: oh oops | 08:37 |
| macogw | blag: im reversing names. | 08:37 |
| n2diy | wbreslin951: I don't know, my hardware is 12 years old! | 08:37 |
| N3WFI3 | should i go 64 bit or 32? im using core 2 duo | 08:37 |
| jmdc | after suspend to ram, I can't get the machine to come back up | 08:37 |
| blag | threefcata: oh, sorry, misread, my bad | 08:37 |
| zcat[1] | things like wireless stuff, flash, codecs were mostly only available for 32 bit and didn't work on 64 bit, but I'm running 64 bit now and not seeing any major problems | 08:37 |
| N3WFI3 | i tnink 32 is fine | 08:37 |
| Conartist | can anyone help me...my ubuntu system does not detect my soundcard ...but when i go on windows...everything is fine and dandy... | 08:37 |
| Conartist | plsssss | 08:37 |
| quest-usb | this may be a lost cause but I need to either pass audio from a usb headset or the usb device itself to vmware workstation. 8.10 beta host, windows guest. any ideas? | 08:37 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: wow. thats like.. driving a 1930 model t lol | 08:37 |
| heymr | jmdc: it should suspend to SWAP dude | 08:37 |
| keiserr | macogw: i have a problem with a file on my local mirror, that's why i needed to download just that one file and let the installer use the local mirror rather than spend hours and hours trying to install via the net | 08:37 |
| blag | macogw: lol, np, you were correct in my situation anyway | 08:37 |
| DOOM_NX | N3WFI3, try both, whatever works better | 08:37 |
| linux_user400354 | i tried to add a drive partition to an existing lvm and i dont see the extra space from it. http://rafb.net/p/eQ29id80.html | 08:37 |
| DOOM_NX | it's free afterall | 08:37 |
| DOOM_NX | :P | 08:37 |
| macogw | Conartist: if it's a Creative X-Fi we can't help you. they don't have drivers. Creative promised they'd release some this year, and then they backed down. | 08:37 |
| linux_user400354 | anyone know about LVM? | 08:37 |
| threefcata | blag: it's ok | 08:37 |
| heymr | jmdc: try doing sudo pm-hibernate in a terminal | 08:37 |
| zcat[1] | N3WFI3: it seems core2duo is 64 bit.. I'd probably go for that. | 08:38 |
| threefcata | anyone knows how to adjust sensitivity of trackpoint on thinkpads? | 08:38 |

| wbreslin951 | n2diy: lol yeah i guess so.. you know you can get a brand new dual core laptop with like a billion gigs for like.. $500 | 08:38 |
| Conartist | so can you help me man | 08:38 |
| Conartist | ??? | 08:38 |
| quest-usb | N3WFI3: NOT REALLY | 08:38 |
| heymr | wbreslin951: because hibernation is scary. use pm-hibernate? | 08:38 |
| Conartist | plss | 08:38 |

| wbreslin951 | heymr: doesn't that do the same thing as pressing the hibernate button in the menu? | 08:39 |
| quest-usb | hellonull: thanks | 08:39 |
| n2diy | Jordan_U: It isn't me, it is my wallet! | 08:39 |
| threefcata | heymr: again... isnt it for touchpad? u sure it works for trackpoint as well? | 08:39 |
| === hume_ is now known as hume | ||
| macogw | pen: he's not asking about a touchpad | 08:39 |
| N3WFI3 | unless i had uber amounts of ram i think 32 is cool | 08:39 |
| threefcata | pen: ?? | 08:39 |
| pen | macogw: it's somehow related i think | 08:39 |
| macogw | pen: clit mouse | 08:39 |
| Conartist | maco??? can you help me ? | 08:39 |
| Conartist | i gotta have some sound...:((( | 08:39 |
| jmdc | heymr: I thought suspend kept the data in memory, vs hibernate that wrote it out to the hard disk? Anyway, pm-utils isn't even installed (!) | 08:39 |
| zcat[1] | rofl... 'clit mouse' | 08:39 |
| Conartist | but i am a noob .... | 08:39 |
| wbreslin951 | Conartist: wuts the problem | 08:39 |
| wbreslin951 | zcat[1]: ur bad lmao | 08:39 |
| macogw | Conartist: nope. it's the wrong time of day for the the alsa dev that's usually here to pop up | 08:40 |
| wbreslin951 | Conartist: whats goin rwrong with ur comp? | 08:40 |
| === ce_cuTe_ is now known as erix | ||
| heymr | threefcata: oops. take a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf. you can see the trackpoint config there. Maybe it can use the synaptics driver, then do man 5 synaptics and you can make it do all sorts of stuff. or add a speed option | 08:40 |
| Conartist | my ubuntu does not detect my soundcard | 08:40 |
| n2diy | wbreslin951: Ya, I know, but I can get five year old machines at auction for $100, like this one, that I picked up 7 years ago. | 08:40 |
| === erix is now known as ce_cuTe_ | ||
| zcat[1] | also heard 'joy-nipple' earlier today | 08:40 |
| macogw | zcat[1]: like 90% of people dont know trackpoint's the right name. but they know that slang name. | 08:40 |
| Conartist | i tried fetching drivers over the net | 08:40 |
| Conartist | but .... | 08:40 |
| heymr | jmdc: ok. well pm works the best for suspend/hibernate. | 08:40 |
| wbreslin951 | n2diy: 5 yrs is sooo ancient tho, i mean computers are soo cheap nowadays and the performance is just amazing | 08:40 |
| threefcata | heymr: alright i guess i'll give it a shot.. | 08:40 |
| === ce_cuTe_ is now known as erix | ||
| heymr | threefcata: yup. first take a glance at the GUI. | 08:41 |
| Conartist | vbrestling...can you guide me.... | 08:41 |
| Conartist | pls? | 08:41 |
| heymr | threefcata: of course, make a backup of xorg.conf first | 08:41 |
| === ce_cuTe is now known as erix | ||
| macogw | heymr: ive done work on that GUI. there's nothing on it specific to trackpoints for sure. | 08:41 |
| n2diy | wbreslin951: Yes, but this does everything I need to do, I don't need cutting edge, that is one reason I'm running Ubuntu/Linux. | 08:42 |
| zcat[1] | hate those things even more than touchpads.. | 08:42 |
| heymr | macogw: oky | 08:42 |
| === erix is now known as eric | ||
| === eric is now known as ce_cuTe | ||
| heymr | threefcata: look for your device in xorg.conf. then add "option" "SpeedAccel" "8" (not that! something of the looks) | 08:42 |
| threefcata | heymr: what do you mean by looking at gui? | 08:42 |
| === ce_cuTe is now known as erix | ||
| jmdc | heymr: do I want the package uswsusp (recommended by pm-utils) too? | 08:43 |
| heymr | threefcata: nevermind. gsynaptics os only for touchpad. | 08:43 |
| macogw | heymr: AccelFactor is the synaptics name for acceleration | 08:43 |
| heymr | jmdc: sure | 08:43 |
| heymr | macogw: tell threefcata | 08:43 |
| heymr | macogw: does synaptics control trackpoints too? | 08:43 |
| macogw | heymr: and the gsynaptics in the repo doesnt do acceleration. only the svn one. thats why i worked on it | 08:43 |
| macogw | heymr: dont know. its a possibility. | 08:44 |
| macogw | threefcata: if synaptics can do your trackpoint, the name is AccelFactor | 08:44 |
| Conartist | does anybody know something about hardware problems here?????? | 08:44 |
| Conartist | does anybody know something about hardware problems here?????? | 08:44 |

| sap | Hi, I don't know why but the sound in my system stopped working. I dont hear through IM or in game or even if I play video? I was thinking to restart the system but is there a command that can restart the sound files without restarting the system? | 08:46 |
| heymr | sap: alsamixer (run that command in a terminal) | 08:46 |
| Conartist | ok | 08:46 |
| sap | heymr, k I'm going to try that | 08:46 |
| Conartist | just a sec | 08:46 |
| wbreslin951 | sap: sudo /etc/init.d/<whatever file it is> restart | 08:46 |

| kelvin911 | how to turn it on again? | 08:49 |
| sailor_moon | some can give me his own /.config/audacious/playlist.xspf? | 08:49 |
| sap | heymr, alsamixer didnt work . | 08:49 |
| stefg | kelvin911: compiz on nvidia ? | 08:49 |
| n2diy | Didn't Ubuntu change the "Init X" commands from the standard? I used to run Init 1, and then Init 5 to restart my system, but I think it was changed by Ubuntu? | 08:49 |
| kelvin911 | yes | 08:49 |
| threefcata | heymr: no. | 08:49 |
| wbreslin951 | wait,, audacious? never heard of it lol.. i use audacity tho | 08:49 |
| macogw | threefcata: i dont have any module name synaptics loaded either, so that might not mean anything. really, the xorg.conf is probably the most umm...accurate?..way to be sure | 08:49 |
| sap | wbreslin951, n2diy is the file alsa-utils for sound? | 08:49 |
| macogw | threefcata: less levels of go-between | 08:49 |

| wbreslin951 | wait | 08:50 |
| wbreslin951 | sap: yeah | 08:50 |

| Alan_M | gluer_: yes it should | 08:50 |
| sap | wbreslin951, yes | 08:50 |
| wbreslin951 | sap: cuz that sounds like a package, not an init.d file | 08:50 |

| gluer_ | Alan: cheers | 08:50 |
| heymr | sap: its just to make sure alsa is running and you can adjust volumes and stuff. maybe something is messed up with sound | 08:51 |
| macogw | ecrane: your .gconf i think | 08:51 |
| zcat[1] | just so we all know .. | 08:51 |
| macogw | ecrane: if you look with gconf-editor they should be in there somewhere | 08:51 |
| heymr | threefcata: you should at least look over your xorg.conf . you can tweak everything there | 08:51 |
| wbreslin951 | sap: well anyways its sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 08:51 |
| Alan_M | gluer_: mine automounted mine with a default install...so...actually i can totally confirm that it does. | 08:51 |
| sailor_moon | please somebody can give me that file? | 08:51 |

| zcat[1] | since I've usually done something weird by the time I realise I'm not in nano or joe.. | 08:57 |

| stefg | syncrondi: asked in #ubuntu-server also? can be a problem with the keys or known_hosts file | 09:00 |
| Alan_M | akhilesh, its basically your backbone for linux when things go BOOM | 09:00 |
| jmdc | akhilesh: X is the lowlevel graphics system, so an xterm is "terminal in x" - when it was first made putting a console in a window was a big deal so that gives you some idea how old it is ;-) | 09:00 |
| razor-x11 | Alan_M, or the place you can have lot's off fun messing the system up til it's unbootable =) | 09:00 |
| Alan_M | razor-x11: yeah my girlfriend gave me a harsh lesson in that a month ago :( | 09:01 |

| zcat[1] | bah.. I actually remember labs full of VT100's !! | 09:02 |
| jmdc | akhilesh: there are a lot of newer terminals than an xterm, that make it look more like a gnome or kde app, but sometimes people talk about xterm anyway, out of habit | 09:02 |
| razor-x11 | like 'ls | diroutput.txt' | 09:03 |
| syncrondi | n2diy: $groups shows that they are all in the same group with no other group memberships | 09:03 |

| Alan_M | razor-x11: wow.....i actually understood that and never used that command before. | 09:03 |
| threefcata | macogw: thx the gui tool actually works but you need to restart X in order to get the new setting working.. | 09:04 |
| threefcata | thx | 09:04 |
| n2diy | syncrondi: do they have group permission? | 09:04 |
| zcat[1] | come to think of it, I even read my email on a teletype a few times, when the labfull of vt100's was full.. | 09:04 |
| razor-x11 | No problem Alan_M =) | 09:04 |
| RedScare | so what's with gnome power manager not being able to manage my lcd backlight brightness? | 09:04 |

| Jester009 | how do i disable printing cups from the cd menu? | 09:04 |
| Alan_M | zcat[1]: so...that makes you....old? | 09:05 |
| RedScare | apparently this is common problem with the x3100 intel chipsets | 09:05 |
| * Alan_M hides | 09:05 | |

| ubotu | michael__: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 09:06 |
| zcat[1] | sorry.. different rant | 09:06 |
| RedScare | michael, what program do you use to view your webcam? | 09:06 |
| syncrondi | n2diy: group is based from root, I've not set any specific permissions. One of the users can't WinSCP files to our home folder, but if he logs on as my user, he is able to | 09:06 |
| stefg | Jester009: you're using gnome, aren't you? | 09:06 |
| razor-x11 | anyone looking into the xterm search for bash commands and script and read about them and you will understand. | 09:06 |
| michael__ | see thats the thing i dont even know were to start | 09:06 |
| razor-x11 | webcams? | 09:07 |
| razor-x11 | gkcam | 09:07 |
| razor-x11 | sudo apt-get install gkcam | 09:07 |
| Jester009 | stefg: i actually have xp installed on this pc and i just booted it with xubuntu cd | 09:07 |

| razor-x11 | lsusb | 09:07 |
| * Alan_M pops that key out...aparently its stuck :) | 09:07 | |
| razor-x11 | lol | 09:07 |
| razor-x11 | shh alan =) | 09:08 |
| RedScare | v4l2 is the only thing that makes my Chiconey work | 09:08 |
| n2diy | syncrondi: what are the three permission groups? don't cheat, tell me now. | 09:08 |
| RedScare | eh hem, chiconey | 09:08 |
| RedScare | f me | 09:08 |
| razor-x11 | normaly you will need to add a line to the xorg config to install a newer cam | 09:08 |
| RedScare | seriously, is it 3:08 am for anyone else | 09:08 |
| razor-x11 | most logitech one's work out the box | 09:08 |
| Alan_M | for me | 09:08 |
| zcat[1] | n2diy: they're named after a japanese cartoon character.. | 09:08 |
| stefg | Jester009: if you are running from Live CD switching it off doesn't make sense... the setting will be lost anyway | 09:08 |
| syncrondi | n2diy: rwx | 09:08 |
| jmdc | I installed pm-utils and uswsusp in an attempt to get suspend working. It didn't help (in fact my video mode after hibernate is wrong now too). When I try to wake up from suspend, I get the letters linu in yellow at the top of the screen, and nothing else happens. | 09:08 |
| RedScare | I have to be at work at 9 | 09:08 |

| razor-x11 | coffee time i think's! =) | 09:09 |
| michael__ | ok it says it cant find my device | 09:09 |
| n2diy | syncrondi: no that is only a third of it, rwxrwxrwx. Why are there three of the groups? | 09:09 |
| Jester009 | stefg: I'm just trying to get xubuntu on this machine. There is nothing on it that I don't have backed up so this laptop is just for learning. How else can I get this working? | 09:10 |
| juane | alguien que me ayude | 09:10 |
| zcat[1] | rw-rw-rw- is satanic!! | 09:10 |
| stefg | Jester009: so the Live CD doesn't even boot? | 09:10 |
| razor-x11 | micheal_ do dmesg and it will say if it has loaded the device or not | 09:10 |
| zcat[1] | well, octally anyhow | 09:10 |
| michael__ | so go into my terminal dmesg | 09:10 |
| n2diy | zcat[1]: no -------- is satanic, been there, done that. | 09:11 |
| Jester009 | stefg: it freezes at starting common unix printing cupsd | 09:11 |
| syncrondi | n2diy: I understand permissions, but I don't understand why one user would not be able to copy a file to their home folder | 09:11 |
| * razor-x11 cat is on to much caffine | 09:11 | |
| stefg | Jester009: ah, now i understand. Can be a irq or acpi problem. try some bootoptions | 09:11 |
| RedScare | why does powernowd insist on disobeying me | 09:11 |
| stefg | !bootoptions | Jester009: | 09:11 |
| ubotu | Jester009:: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 09:12 |
| zcat[1] | been helping a guy who distills his own liquor.. guess how he paid me :) | 09:12 |
| RedScare | and why does lsusb crash my terminal after plugging in my blackberry | 09:12 |
| razor-x11 | cause if it's a root file or someone else's you need to do 'sudo -i ; chmod 775' or whatever it need's | 09:12 |
| juane | alguien me ayuda con el compiz fusion | 09:12 |
| n2diy | syncrondi: sorry, but I'm not sure you do, and that is what I'm trying to establish. Why do have rwx repeat three times? | 09:12 |

| Jester009 | stefg: thanks. I think the reason its giving me problems is my BIOs dont meet the cutoff date by one year. | 09:12 |
| jmdc | juane: Lo siento, pero no hablo espanol. vaya a #ubuntu-es | 09:12 |
| stefg | Jester009: update it? | 09:12 |
| juane | gracias | 09:13 |
| n2diy | nada | 09:13 |
| razor-x11 | micheal_, it has found the webcam download and complie amsn and try it on there, should work a treat. | 09:13 |
| syncrondi | n2diy: It's simple if you must know. It must establish permissions on the file for the owner, group, and all | 09:13 |
| michael__ | how would i get it to wor through a webchat ? | 09:14 |
| n2diy | syncrondi: good, you understand. | 09:14 |
| syncrondi | n2diy: thanks for the credit :) | 09:14 |
| RedScare | Why does my USB Blackberry not have a device listing name under dmesg when I plug it in? | 09:15 |
| razor-x11 | first off all you need to tell us what webcam make it is. | 09:15 |
| razor-x11 | cause blackberry's are evil lol | 09:15 |
| zcat[1] | RedScare: 'cos it's busted? I dunno.. | 09:15 |
| * razor-x11 note to self don't buy a new blackberry. | 09:15 | |
| zcat[1] | anything USB should register something in dmesg... | 09:15 |
| razor-x11 | Yep | 09:15 |
| RedScare | sorry, not quite ready to jump on the iboat | 09:16 |
| RedScare | it does | 09:16 |
| razor-x11 | or! | 09:16 |
| razor-x11 | for usb devices | 09:16 |
| RedScare | but it doesn't give me the assigned device name | 09:16 |
| razor-x11 | do | 09:16 |
| razor-x11 | 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' | 09:16 |
| ieuan | cheese | 09:16 |
| n2diy | syncrondi: So if root own the file only he can use his permission on it. And if the group has permissions they can too. and some individuals may or may not, and some groups may or may not. I think you need to check your permissions and groups etc... | 09:16 |
| zcat[1] | I don't know jack about blackberries | 09:16 |
| kelvin911 | is it possible to select more than one window and move them at the same time? | 09:17 |

| razor-x11 | 'gksudo nautilus' | 09:18 |
| zcat[1] | bets on N3WFI3 burning three data CD's with a big .iso file on it before he gets a bootable disk..? | 09:18 |
| N3WFI3 | lmao | 09:18 |

| RedScare | and its not | 09:20 |
| Alan_M | still here, was asking something in linutop about its price | 09:20 |

| progmanos | i think you have to run wireshark as root | 09:21 |
| n2diy | Gnea: nada | 09:21 |
| kelvin911 | anyone know how to select more than one window? | 09:21 |
| razor-x11 | Alan_M, Yep, i heard the same lol, mostly crashy and buggy. | 09:22 |
| Gnea | n2diy: :) | 09:22 |
| kelvin911 | and move them at the same time. ie. to different workspace? | 09:22 |
| N3WFI3 | someone told me to use burnatonce program, this prog looks real nice should do the trick | 09:22 |
| razor-x11 | And the fact that i hate dell's, =) | 09:22 |
| Alan_M | razor-x11: best to get a dell with windows and format it then put ubuntu on it :D | 09:22 |
| === Bonez is now known as BonezAU | ||

| damo22 | my dell laptop worked out of the box with ubuntu, even hibernate and suspend work fine | 09:23 |
| kelvin911 | razor-x11: dell is pretty good at least better than HP, emachines, etc | 09:23 |
| Alan_M | jim, did you configure it yourself and take windows off yourself or did it come preinstalled with ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: hope you've got a kiss-arse mode for dell, cuz without them, ubuntu wouldn't get sold on any commercial desktop ;) | 09:23 |
| razor-x11 | Alan_M, I have 2 acer laptops and they have bin great for hardware compatibility | 09:23 |
| ensi | hello, i cant get my x server to work with the nvidia driver. as soon as i change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" in the xorg.conf i get "ubunti is running in low graphics mode" and the res goes back to 800x600. | 09:23 |
| kelvin911 | razor-x11: but of course i will build my own | 09:23 |
| razor-x11 | But, DELL and UBUNTU is just wrong. | 09:24 |
| zcat[1] | You should buy with Linux if you can, even if you're planning to reinstall anyway... just so MSFT can't claim one more 'doze sale.. | 09:24 |
| jim | Alan_M: preinstalled with windows xp, I put stuff on an external hd and grub on the internal drive | 09:24 |
| Alan_M | jim, good idea :D | 09:24 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: how so? | 09:24 |
| kelvin911 | i dont know what window manager i am using, any idea? | 09:24 |
| N3WFI3 | im gunna put on some mr noodle haha will be back | 09:24 |
| Alan_M | zcat[1]: never thought of it that way! | 09:24 |
| jim | I had to add a partition in the little (probably) one-cyl remaining room they didn't partition | 09:24 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, Cause, if you think off it IBM should have done it not, DELL. | 09:24 |
| Alan_M | zcat[1]: im gonna do that just to stick it to bill :D | 09:25 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: but IBM didn't, DELL did, end of story. | 09:25 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, You like dell? | 09:25 |
| kelvin911 | razor-x11: IBM laptops are solid but they look ugly | 09:25 |

| Gnea | razor-x11: agreed. :) | 09:29 |
| jim | the only thing I didn't like was it couldn't boot from cdrom | 09:29 |
| Survivorman | i heard tandy was a beast | 09:29 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, Thank you =) | 09:29 |
| kelvin911 | jim: that would be how long ago? | 09:29 |
| jim | long time. | 09:29 |
| * Alan_M just sits here whistling | 09:30 | |
| kelvin911 | one of my dell laptop is still surviving from 2003 | 09:30 |
| jim | it had 80 mb ram, and that was a lot in those days | 09:30 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: my next laptop is gonna be a mac ;) | 09:30 |
| razor-x11 | What's the best mobo with 64bit support for ubuntu do you think? | 09:30 |
| ecrane | I got a compaq laptop here that I can't figure out how to take apart. Those special tiny compaq screws.... torque wrench won't do it ;< | 09:30 |
| towlie_ | i freaking love ubuntu | 09:30 |
| kelvin911 | it was 5150 p4 3 GHz laptop, still can play doom at lowest setting | 09:30 |
| ieuan | cheese | 09:30 |
| nlindblad | Hi | 09:30 |
| kelvin911 | i mean doom3 | 09:30 |
| Alan_M | great towlie_ glad to hear | 09:30 |
| magnetron | lol kelvin911 | 09:30 |
| razor-x11 | Gota love doom | 09:30 |
| Alan_M | hello nlindblad | 09:30 |
| towlie_ | i plugged in my iphone and imported my pictures without having to do any configurations.... | 09:31 |
| razor-x11 | and love the xbox360 =) | 09:31 |
| jim | razor-x11: thing is, the compilers don't do too well with 64b arch | 09:31 |
| towlie_ | i expected to have to play with it a bit to get it to work | 09:31 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: i've got an MSI with a p4 3.0ghz dualcore that i built myself, it runs pretty nicely | 09:31 |
| BaD_CrC | razor-x11: i'm using a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3p for 64-bit goodness | 09:31 |
| razor-x11 | jim, gcc and that you mean? | 09:31 |
| nlindblad | Anyone using a Dell Inspiron 1525? | 09:31 |
| jim | having said that, I got an asus m2npv-vm | 09:31 |
| kelvin911 | if i have money my next laptop is macbook pro 17" | 09:31 |
| jim | and I'm running k7-compiled kernels on it | 09:31 |
| razor-x11 | But, all around linux aka Ubuntu, work's well with all pc's | 09:31 |
| kelvin911 | but if i dont then it will be either asus or dell | 09:32 |
| Gnea | now, if i could just remember the model # of the mobo, that just might help.... | 09:32 |
| towlie_ | kelvin911, ive got a 15" macbook pro and they are awesome | 09:32 |
| razor-x11 | i remember way back when trying to get debain to work with 64 was a nightmare lol | 09:32 |
| towlie_ | kelvin save up for the mac trust me its worth it | 09:32 |
| kelvin911 | towlie_: i love mac stuffs although i never own one, i play some at school and my friend's room | 09:32 |
| jim | I'm not sure either asus or dell likes linux too much | 09:32 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: same here, i gave up and went ubuntu | 09:32 |
| towlie_ | kelvin911, im running ubuntu 7.10 on it and it works really nicely on it | 09:32 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, Yep | 09:32 |
| kelvin911 | ubuntu on mac? | 09:32 |
| towlie_ | yes | 09:32 |
| BaD_CrC | razor-x11: debian works great with 64-bit, but that's offtopic for here. | 09:32 |
| kelvin911 | i thought the OSX is awesome | 09:32 |
| towlie_ | are you familiar with bootcamp ? | 09:32 |
| towlie_ | kelvin it is | 09:33 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, Support was terrible, and no one cared for it at the time no games and apps worked on 64, on server tools. | 09:33 |
| kelvin911 | towlie_: no i dont | 09:33 |
| towlie_ | levin but i am using bootcamp cause compiz fusion is awesome | 09:33 |
| kelvin911 | towlie_: i never own a mac | 09:33 |
| towlie_ | kelvin911, it lets you dual boot osx and windows | 09:33 |
| ecrane | not trying to start a flamefest, but spend the extra $$$ for mac hardware if you're not going to run osx? | 09:33 |
| kelvin911 | towlie_: i am one of those poor people try to survive | 09:33 |
| towlie_ | kelvin911, but you can install linux | 09:33 |
| kelvin911 | towlie_: why boot windows? | 09:33 |
| razor-x11 | BaD_CrC, We are talking about year's ago not the present! | 09:33 |
| ecrane | that is, WHY spend the extra $$$? | 09:33 |
| kelvin911 | towlie_: i only use windows for gaming now | 09:33 |
| BaD_CrC | razor-x11: yeah, i remember the days.... :( | 09:34 |
| towlie_ | ecrane, i run osx 90% of the time... | 09:34 |
| N3WFI3 | razor | 09:34 |
| razor-x11 | Wine or TransGaming? | 09:34 |
| ecrane | I only use Ubuntu linux for gaming now ^^. Wine works pretty good | 09:34 |
| n2diy | CUL, 73 | 09:34 |
| jim | ecrane: that -is- a good point... plus can't macos run on plain intel hardware? | 09:34 |
| N3WFI3 | i got asrock hahahah , its a 775 dual vsta | 09:34 |
| hp | anyone knows how to delete teh window decorations for pidgin? | 09:34 |
| razor-x11 | N3WFI3, ? | 09:34 |
| kelvin911 | ecrane: but wine cant play all games | 09:34 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: Jim is misinformed... Dell sells computers with Ubuntu installed. | 09:34 |
| zcat[1] | apple hardware is pretty solid.. even if you're not running osx.. old apple g3 mac was the best machine I ever ran ubuntu on.. | 09:34 |
| razor-x11 | N3WFI3, Don't get me started on vista. =) | 09:34 |
| kelvin911 | ecrane: and almost 99% of the games i got are privated so cant play in wine | 09:34 |
| towlie_ | dell is not that great... overpriced imo | 09:34 |
| ChaosParser | zcat[1]: That was true until they went intel. | 09:35 |
| magnetron | hp: you would have to use devilspie or similar to remove the window decorations for a gtk app | 09:35 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: i know dell sold linux desktop preinstalled | 09:35 |
| nlindblad | I could get an Inspiron 1525 with 10% off | 09:35 |
| nlindblad | Worth it? | 09:35 |
| ChaosParser | towlie_: Yeah, sure. I can see how sub 600 notebooks with 2 gigs of ram are overpriced... | 09:35 |
| towlie_ | ChaosParser, not true its been better since they switched to intel | 09:35 |
| Unknownz | yeah dell is sometimes overpriced | 09:35 |
| hp | thanks magnetron | 09:35 |
| razor-x11 | Anyone here got a x360 with ubuntu power pc on it? | 09:35 |
| N3WFI3 | u asked along time ago if anyone got asrock | 09:35 |
| ecrane | One time I was at a lan party and got a windows game running in wine faster then the guy who had vista. It was pretty awesome. | 09:35 |
| N3WFI3 | why the ? | 09:35 |
| N3WFI3 | lol | 09:35 |
| BaD_CrC | nlindblad: since i work for dell, i'd say sure. :) | 09:35 |
| jim | ChaosParser: I refer you to one of michael dell's choice comments at one of the keynotes at a linux world expo | 09:35 |
| Unknownz | their value/quality ratio is not that good | 09:35 |
| kelvin911 | anyone got asus laptop? | 09:36 |
| razor-x11 | yep | 09:36 |
| ChaosParser | jim: I've worked for Dell. I've installed linux on more of their models than you've likely seen, ever. | 09:36 |
| zcat[1] | ChaosParser: well, I don't know.. I'd have to play with an intel mac sometime.. | 09:36 |
| Gnea | Dell sold desktops with Redhat on the desktop back in 2000. It failed, so they sold servers with redhat on it and stayed with Windows. Last year, they gave Ubuntu a shot. | 09:36 |
| kelvin911 | i only trust asus motherboard now | 09:36 |
| jim | ChaosParser: did I say it won't install? :) | 09:36 |
| razor-x11 | acer laptop with a asus dual core 1.8ghz each | 09:36 |
| razor-x11 | asus are great mobo's | 09:36 |
| zcat[1] | kelvin911: current lappy is asus... only got 256M ram in it tho so it sucks bigtime.. | 09:36 |
| magnetron | kelvin911: and i only trust you | 09:36 |
| N3WFI3 | isnt asrock owned by asus | 09:36 |
| N3WFI3 | or something | 09:36 |
| * BaD_CrC is waiting for the public announcement of dell's so-called eeepc killer | 09:36 | |
| tobmaif | so hi can i ask a question or what | 09:37 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: i will never buy laptop that has 256MB only, not even in 2002 | 09:37 |
| mehmet | slm | 09:37 |
| zcat[1] | I think it would be pretty good if it had like 512M even.. or a gig | 09:37 |
| ChaosParser | jim: Your arguement that dell 'doesn't like' linux is baseless. They sell it. Michael Dell uses Ubuntu on one of his notebooks, with the expection of the Optiplex 320 which has a borked sata controller, they all run Ubuntu pretty damned well. | 09:37 |
| jim | tobmaif: What! | 09:37 |
| ChaosParser | jim: *exception | 09:37 |
| tobmaif | jim: what do you want?" the speaker | 09:37 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: for laptop u want more ram than usual | 09:37 |
| razor-x11 | zcat[1], Depends on the mobo if it can handle a gig | 09:37 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: if running xp | 09:37 |
| jim | ChaosParser: so they're changing their mind | 09:37 |
| zcat[1] | kelvin911: I didn't buy it.. I got given it after the guy who had it upgraded, and he flogged half the ram for his new lappy :) | 09:37 |
| kelvin911 | zcat[1]: nice | 09:38 |
| razor-x11 | Who here has a dual boot ubuntu and xp? | 09:38 |
| jim | they're allowed, I suppose... I guess it was the changing market that convinced them | 09:38 |
| zcat[1] | kelvin911: well, I can't really complain :) | 09:38 |
| kelvin911 | i just got a desktop for $300 | 09:38 |
| michael__ | i did razor why? | 09:38 |
| Gnea | jim: dell and linux have been getting along just fine for over a decade, what are you smoking? :) | 09:38 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, He is probly smoking the same as me, i hate dell rollups lol | 09:39 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: He strikes me as parrotting BS he doesn't understand. | 09:39 |
| Gnea | ChaosParser: you and I are on the same page. | 09:39 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: lol | 09:39 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, Or maybe a pipe. | 09:39 |
| razor-x11 | Who knows. | 09:40 |
| razor-x11 | lol | 09:40 |
| Gnea | :) | 09:40 |
| jim | I'm not saying I hate anything. the fact is dell hardware usually works pretty well, and installs linux as well as anything you can build yourself | 09:40 |
| kelvin911 | asus P5ND2-SLI, p4 dual core 3.2 GHz, 1 GB ram, WD ATA 250 GB, geforce 7600 GT 256 MB, LG dvdram, for $300 | 09:40 |
| BaD_CrC | ubuntu works great on my old dell latitude d610 laptop. some people had lots of problems with it. | 09:40 |
| ChaosParser | jim: Yes, and? | 09:40 |
| jim | I still want a scsi laptop :P | 09:40 |
| BaD_CrC | the obligatory !wfm | 09:40 |
| kelvin911 | and the case is really nice and fasionable | 09:40 |
| razor-x11 | I think building a pc is alot more wirth while and saves money half the time | 09:40 |
| ChaosParser | BaD_CrC: Anyone that has issues with the business line running linux from dell is likely an idiot. They usually have RedHat drivers at support.dell.com | 09:40 |
| kelvin911 | with all in one memory card reader | 09:40 |
| Gnea | i think the only dynamic that dell adheres to that annoys most people is its dependence on proprietary hardware | 09:41 |
| zcat[1] | I'm seeing a trend in 'build for vista' hardware though.. the seem to pick all the really non-standard propriatory stuff that doesn't work well with linux | 09:41 |
| jim | razor-x11: originally I didn't save much at all building... I picked better parts and more expensive ones usually | 09:41 |
| razor-x11 | Gnea, Well dell has more money in it's bank account then me, Maybe that's why i hate them? | 09:41 |
| BaD_CrC | ChaosParser: yeah, i know. and the good stuff at linux.dell.com/repo | 09:41 |
| jim | but this last machine was pretty cost-effective | 09:41 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: What proprietary hardware?? | 09:42 |
| Gnea | razor-x11: but that's because michael dell saw a grand opportunity that most everyone else did not and went for it | 09:42 |
| jim | razor-x11: who's fault is that?! | 09:42 |
| razor-x11 | jim, i goto to local computer fair and get the gear most sell it on for 3/4 off the retail price | 09:42 |
| razor-x11 | It's my fault... | 09:42 |
| * razor-x11 hang's head in shame. | 09:42 | |
| razor-x11 | lol =) | 09:42 |
| nobbi | Hi @ all | 09:43 |
| ChaosParser | jim: What are you smoking? The only real mainstream components that are Vista designed are the Direct X 10 video cards.. | 09:43 |
| BonezAU | hi. o | 09:43 |
| BaD_CrC | razor-x11: are you trying to say that dell is the microsoft of computer makers?!? i highly don't think so. but since i work for dell, i'm biased. :) | 09:43 |
| nobbi | I need some help | 09:43 |
| ChaosParser | And the intel memory expansion shit. | 09:43 |
| kelvin911 | is directx 10 that good? | 09:43 |
| jim | who said anything about vista?! I didn't... | 09:43 |
| zcat[1] | ahh well, I mostly live off donated hardware, by the time I get it Linux support is pretty good :) | 09:43 |
| ChaosParser | BaD_CrC: Support? | 09:43 |
| kelvin911 | i am afraid the future games need vista to run them | 09:43 |
| BonezAU | hi, i'm having problems installing *any* firefox extensions. More details at http://pastebin.com/m1d6dcad6 - anyone come across this before. I'm using the latest FF2 from the repos. | 09:43 |
| jim | people around here ought to read more comprehensively... | 09:43 |
| razor-x11 | is it take a stabb at me to today? | 09:43 |
| sluimers | upgrading to 8.04 isn't working :(, I can't download the upgrades as I get 403 Forbidden errors... what can I do? I need that upgrade. | 09:43 |
| nobbi | I can't mount my sd card on my eee pc | 09:43 |
| razor-x11 | =/ | 09:43 |
| BaD_CrC | ChaosParser: i work in the Managed Services division on a contract with Boeing. | 09:43 |
| * razor-x11 hides with Alan_M | 09:44 | |
| jim | nobbi: why? | 09:44 |
| maek | yay the IRC server is back up ... cheers guys | 09:44 |
| Gnea | ChaosParser: most of it is - the memory, for instance, has issues when swapped into/out of non-dell motherboards. it might work for a bit, but a small timing glitch can create a skew that will fry something, somewhere... about the only things worth trying to upgrade on your own (sans a warranty) are the PCI/AGP cards, cd drives and hard drives - and the HDs are iffy, especially if the backup support is wanted. | 09:44 |
| ChaosParser | BaD_CrC: Hah. Nice. I used to love Boeing calls. I'm former CNG and SMB Opti/Lat support | 09:44 |
| nobbi | I dont know | 09:44 |
| ChaosParser | BaD_CrC: * CBG | 09:44 |
| Cahan | nobbi, http://www.eeeuser.com/ is pretty helpful | 09:44 |
| nobbi | When ever I try it won't work | 09:44 |
| BaD_CrC | ChaosParser: sweet, so we are pretty much on the same page. :) | 09:44 |
| === hume_ is now known as hume | ||
| stefg | sluimers: a.) there might be a server sync in progress b.) any proxy involved? c.) hardy is beta and has issues, do you know how to fix ubuntu when it breaks? | 09:44 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: Dell memory bought new or with a system carries a lifetime warranty... | 09:45 |
| jim | nobbi: if you can find out, it will help you with the solutio | 09:45 |
| kelvin911 | dell uses what memory? | 09:45 |
| ani1 | !hi | 09:45 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 09:45 |
| kelvin911 | generic? | 09:45 |
| zcat[1] | daylight wasting time.. gotta go set some clocks back | 09:45 |
| ChaosParser | sluimers: You want Ubuntu +1 | 09:45 |
| nobbi | I can't change sdb1 cd rom | 09:45 |
| sluimers | stefg, a) what does that mean? b) no c) no | 09:45 |
| gluer | i set my clocks back 6am | 09:45 |
| sluimers | Ubuntu +l? | 09:46 |
| kelvin911 | where u guys from? | 09:46 |
| Gnea | ChaosParser: i'm talking about someone who doesn't understand the concept and just goes out to find the quickest, cheapest solution - if the warranty isn't transferred properly then you're stuck | 09:46 |
| kelvin911 | US or canada? | 09:46 |
| BaD_CrC | #ubuntu+1 | 09:46 |
| jim | kelvin911: yes | 09:46 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: And that is the company's problem, why? | 09:46 |
| kelvin911 | anyone from vancouver? | 09:46 |
| Cahan | kelvin911, probably all over the world | 09:46 |
| stefg | sluimers: the mirror-servers for the repos need to get their sync... they go offline for that | 09:46 |
| Gnea | ChaosParser: who said it was? :) | 09:46 |
| sknh_ | what are the files in /var/log/mysql/mysql.bin.* contain? | 09:46 |
| sluimers | thanks Bad_crc | 09:46 |
| sknh_ | are they important or they just logs? | 09:46 |
| cvasilak | hi there, is there any way i can tell vim to show the encoding of the file being edited on the status line? | 09:47 |
| weltschmerz | after recently buying a mac book, i plug my ubuntu machine in and do some upgrades and...wow. hardy is making me kind of regret spending 1400 bucks on a mac. | 09:47 |
| gluer | melbourne, australia | 09:47 |
| jim | sknh_: probably files... and maybe some directories... | 09:47 |
| stefg | !hardy | sluimers | 09:47 |
| ubotu | sluimers: 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 | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | weltschmerz: why? ubuntu is better than OSX? | 09:47 |
| weltschmerz | san francisco here. | 09:47 |
| sknh_ | I want to free space | 09:47 |
| Tobbsn | munich here | 09:47 |
| sknh_ | and this folder has around 1GB of data | 09:47 |
| stefg | sluimers: and a word of advice. Take a backup before you upgrade, or consider waiting for the release if you ar no ubuntu-pro | 09:47 |
| sknh_ | just wondering if it can be deleted | 09:47 |
| jim | I'd be very careful in there | 09:48 |
| weltschmerz | kelvin911 not overall, but it's sooo much better now with all the pretty u.i. tweaks. it's so close that the cost makes it painful. | 09:48 |
| BaD_CrC | i'm getting ready to reboot for hardy upgrade here shortly. whee. | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | weltschmerz: how pretty? | 09:48 |
| weltschmerz | once pulseaudio is more equivalent to coreaudio, and gnome has some better icon and theme sets, i think ubuntu will start being competitive with mac. | 09:48 |
| Cahan | is it worth upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 via apt-get dist-upgrade? | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | i think OSX is already looks very good! | 09:48 |
| weltschmerz | well...not as perty as osx. | 09:48 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: I used to hate that. Freaking backwoods idiots that buy a 7 year old notebook, that happens to be from the business line, know nothing about it and expect support for the hacked copy of windows XP they just forced onto it somehow. | 09:48 |
| weltschmerz | it does. | 09:48 |
| weltschmerz | ubuntu doesn't. | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | weltschmerz: except maybe it doesnt have cube | 09:49 |
| weltschmerz | once ubuntu catches up just a bit, it will be competitive. | 09:49 |
| BaD_CrC | Cahan: that's what i did | 09:49 |
| jim | Cahan: you get 0.06!! of course it's worth it! | 09:49 |
| sluimers | stefg, I just got a clean install on my new computer and found out the USB network card will only work on Heron | 09:49 |
| weltschmerz | kelvin911 i'm saying that OS X exceeds linux/gnome at present. | 09:49 |
| ChaosParser | weltschmerz: Hardy can be as pretty as OSX. | 09:49 |
| weltschmerz | but that the gap is closing. | 09:49 |
| sluimers | so thatś why | 09:49 |
| weltschmerz | ChaosParser i highly doubt that. | 09:49 |
| ChaosParser | weltschmerz: Hardy can look exactly like OSX. And doesn't get hacked in 3 minutes. | 09:49 |
| Gnea | ChaosParser: same here, until i learned about the "other" entry :) | 09:49 |
| stefg | sluimers: what model is that? | 09:49 |
| weltschmerz | there are just elements of the consistent cocoa ui that are astonishing. | 09:49 |
| Gnea | pop it in void, zip it up, go to lunch | 09:50 |
| weltschmerz | and hibernation and power management with my macbook astounds me. | 09:50 |
| ChaosParser | weltschmerz: http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11 | 09:50 |
| kelvin911 | ubuntu need to make a theme that is 99.9% like OSX | 09:50 |
| weltschmerz | that still wouldn't be the same. | 09:50 |
| sluimers | stefg, model computer or USB network adapter? | 09:50 |
| Cahan | talking about OSX UI always makes me hungry for chocolate :S | 09:50 |
| mettao87 | hi | 09:50 |
| BaD_CrC | kelvin911: look on http://gnome-look.org/ | 09:50 |
| stefg | sluimers: network adapter | 09:50 |
| kelvin911 | BaD_CrC: i did | 09:50 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: There's a tutorial here: http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11 | 09:50 |
| jim | so osx makes you fat? :) | 09:50 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: why don't you just install vmware and boot OSX that way? :) | 09:50 |
| sluimers | USB is a WL-182 I think from sitecom, lemme check | 09:51 |
| weltschmerz | with the new u.i., how do i cycle backwards through windows? | 09:51 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: i dont have osx | 09:51 |
| mettao87 | can someone advise to me a repositories list for ubuntu studio gusty | 09:51 |
| SwissPhoenix | Hi there, I just toying around with hardy and noticed that any eth interface other than eth0 is being renamed to eth#_rename. I tried adding more interfaces to the 70-persistent-net.rules file, but that does not the trick.... | 09:51 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: so go find it | 09:51 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: is there a way to download it? | 09:51 |
| zcat[1] | i made kde look just like osx once, but apparenty it didn't behave like osx.. kinda hard since I never used osx :) | 09:51 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: yes. | 09:51 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: where? | 09:51 |
| zcat[1] | gnome isn't really configurable enough | 09:51 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: that information is considered off-topic. google.com is the best place to start, though. | 09:51 |
| michael__ | my computer wont let me install vmware | 09:51 |
| michael__ | =(( | 09:51 |
| sluimers | I read in a dutch Ubuntu forum someone got WL-181 working in Heron after trying everything else | 09:51 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: i never use vmware | 09:52 |
| Cahan | SwissPhoenix, #ubuntu+1 | 09:52 |
| sluimers | and since theyŕe pretty similair... | 09:52 |
| ChaosParser | zcat[1]: What crack are you smoking? I use gnome and the only thing on my desktop at the moment is the Avant dock. | 09:52 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: can u run xp in vmware? | 09:52 |
| jim | xen is pretty good | 09:52 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: yes. | 09:52 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: how good? | 09:52 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: can u play games thru it? | 09:52 |
| tobmaif_ | so hi can i ask a question or what | 09:52 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: very good. yes. | 09:52 |
| Creationist | Is it possible to have Sound Juicer rip CDs faster? Right now it's only reading at 4.5x for some reason. | 09:52 |
| zcat[1] | ChaosParser: well, I never found it configureable enough :) | 09:52 |
| SwissPhoenix | Cahan: tnx | 09:52 |
| jim | what? | 09:52 |
| Gnea | !ask | tobmaif_ | 09:52 |
| ubotu | tobmaif_: 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. :-) | 09:52 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: so how does vmware work? | 09:52 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: install it and it will run the winxp i have on my C:\? | 09:53 |
| eth01 | kelvin911: it virtually runs an OS. | 09:53 |
| stefg | !virtualizers | 09:53 |
| 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 | 09:53 |
| eth01 | in simple terms | 09:53 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: OpenGL and 3D acceleration won't work in VMWare... so games taht requie it won't run properly since it doesn't have direct access to your video card. | 09:53 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Just a word of warning and I just got here so I don't know all that you're asking, but using VMware or VirtualBox to play games isn't very good because they don't allow you to use 3D acceleration (so your graphics card isn't supported). | 09:53 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: you install it, run it, create a virtual disk and use real or virtual hardware to interface with it - basically it's a whole computer running on your desktop | 09:53 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: Owe me a beer. :-p | 09:54 |
| weltschmerz | creationist: where's the creator? | 09:54 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: your best bet there is to visit vmware.com and ask in #vmware | 09:54 |
| * Creationist slides a beer down to ChaosParser even though his own explanation was more grammatically correct ;) | 09:54 | |
| jim | unless you provide full access to the hardware | 09:54 |
| weltschmerz | i sure haven't observed any intelligent entities besides humans. | 09:54 |
| kelvin911 | Gnea: so basically u cant run games on vmware | 09:54 |
| Creationist | !off-topic | weltschmerz | 09:54 |
| ubotu | weltschmerz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:54 |
| weltschmerz | lol. | 09:54 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: No games that you'd want to run, no. | 09:54 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: Yes, but you forgot to mention OpenGL. | 09:54 |
| weltschmerz | defensive. | 09:55 |
| Gnea | Creationist: funny, i've gotten GL-based games to run just fine in vmware | 09:55 |
| * Creationist sits in shame to ChaosParser's obvious dominance here :) | 09:55 | |
| kelvin911 | doom3, quake4 are they openGL or? | 09:55 |
| weltschmerz | of course, it's easy to be defensive when you support something so astoundingly anti-scientific as creationism. | 09:55 |
| Creationist | Gnea: Hmm... well, GL-based games run just fine under linux itself ;) | 09:55 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Yes, they are... but they have native Linux version too, though. | 09:55 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: They may work, but not as they would... | 09:55 |
| alkisg | Hi guys. On my laptop which acts as an ltsp server (ubuntu hardy), if I press Fn+Left arrow key to turn down the screen brightness, a (software) popup window is displayed that shows the brightness. The problem is that the LTSP clients also see this window!!! Any clues on where to report this bug? (or how to fix it?) | 09:55 |
| jim | kelvin911: I run doom3 and quake4, they use the hw accel of the card | 09:56 |
| Gnea | Creationist: that's not the point, the point is that you made a statement that is false and i was correcting that oversight | 09:56 |
| jim | and its driver | 09:56 |
| xukun | I finally got the fonts rendering right in ubuntu. My fonts is now more sharper and better for the eyes. If anybody wants this I can help | 09:56 |
| kelvin911 | Creationist: i cant get them working on linux, i dont have valid cdkey | 09:56 |
| yao_ziyua1 | is there any easy way to clean up obsolete config files? | 09:56 |
| yao_ziyua1 | those .* in my user directory | 09:56 |
| gluer | play Sauerbraten!! YA YA ;-) | 09:56 |
| weltschmerz | i thought some recent benchmarks showed some nvidia card doing best in linux. | 09:56 |
| Creationist | Gnea: Hmm... I've never heard of anyone running ANY 3D games in a virtual machine... but even if they could, performance issues would almost always make it undesirable. | 09:56 |
| gluer | sorry jar jar | 09:56 |
| yao_ziyua1 | also, "downloader for x" often leave incomplete downloads as .* | 09:56 |
| zcat[1] | saurbraten sucks.. play urban terror 4.1 | 09:56 |
| Gnea | ChaosParser: it depends on how good the hardware is | 09:56 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Then try purchasing the game first. | 09:56 |
| weltschmerz | if you want an OS for gaming, buy an XBOX. | 09:57 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: Well yeah. If you're running a virutal OS with a couple quad core processors, sure. | 09:57 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: On the average consumer computer, not so much. | 09:57 |
| kelvin911 | so if u cant play games on vmware whats the point of running xp under vmware? | 09:57 |
| Gnea | Creationist: well, until you've tried it yourself, i suggest against spouting an opinion that is baseless. :) | 09:57 |
| jim | xboxes and ps3s are too expensive for what they are | 09:57 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Most people run XP in a virtual machine for other software... business applications and such. | 09:57 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: I can install and launch say, WoW or City of Heroes in a virtual environment... But the graphics and lag is laughable. | 09:57 |
| kelvin911 | Creationist: ok | 09:57 |
| Creationist | Gnea: My research isn't baseless. I don't need to try everything to know what research shows. | 09:58 |
| zcat[1] | virtual machine != wine | 09:58 |
| Creationist | Gnea: But if it worked for you, then great.... but suggesting it to someone else is a very bad idea when the VAST majority of experts say it can't be done. | 09:58 |
| gluer | Sauerbraten rocks man | 09:58 |
| ChaosParser | jim: Not really. The Ps3 allows another OS to be installed, and has a rather remarkable processor. | 09:58 |
| p1r4t3 | hi, i am relatively new to linux, and i have installed linux on my laptop. the sound worked for a while, until today. the ubuntu install cd makes the sound card work, but the installed ubuntu does not. I am not shure how to un-install the sound drivers and re-install them with linux and i was wondering if someone could help. thanx. | 09:58 |
| Gnea | Creationist: did you know that it's possible to boot OSX in vmware? | 09:58 |
| Creationist | Gnea: Never had any desire to do so personally. | 09:59 |
| kelvin911 | Creationist: thats funny that when i was still in university i need to instal cygwin to do my computer assignments and math research stuffs | 09:59 |
| tobmaif | so hi can i ask a question or what | 09:59 |
| Creationist | !ask | tob | 09:59 |
| ubotu | tob: 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. :-) | 09:59 |
| zcat[1] | nah; UrT4.1, tremulous, or WoP are way better that Saurbraten | 09:59 |
| Gnea | Creationist: so what would your area of expertise be with? | 09:59 |
| Creationist | Gnea: My area of expertise is ignoring elitist little jerks on IRC :P | 09:59 |
| kelvin911 | but now i am running real unix system and i need virtual machine to play games | 09:59 |
| ChaosParser | Gnea: Why wouldn't it be possible? | 10:00 |
| Gnea | Creationist: i was referring to real-world application. thanks for the answer though :) | 10:00 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: What games do you play? | 10:00 |
| * zcat[1] wonders what Creationist uses to read his email.. | 10:00 | |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Then I wish you the best of luck. Everything I've learned while trying to do the same has shown me it can't be done effectively. So I keep WIndows installed alongside. | 10:00 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: many | 10:00 |
| sknh_ | where can I find the mysql config file on 7.10/ | 10:00 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: recently i play ET mostly | 10:00 |
| sknh_ | is it /etc/mysql/my.cnf ? | 10:00 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: Pardon? | 10:00 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: First person shooters or MMORPGs? | 10:00 |
| p1r4t3 | could anyone direct me to someone that could help me? | 10:00 |
| gluer | kelvin: mate just dual boot you'll never get decent gaming performance in a vm | 10:01 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: i dont play rpg | 10:01 |
| zcat[1] | Creationist: the default email client in ubuntu, or something different? | 10:01 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: I use Gmail, actually. | 10:01 |
| Conartist | root@Conartist:/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.16# sudo make install | 10:01 |

| Conartist | rm -rf /usr/include/sound; \ | 10:01 |
| FloodBot2 | Conartist: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:01 |
| Gnea | kelvin911: i've found that it's better to create a virtual disk instead of using a physical one. | 10:01 |
| zcat[1] | rofl.. yeah, ok | 10:01 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: Well, There's Wine... and Cedega. They'll generally give you better results than a virtual macine. | 10:01 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: i play like et, doom3, quake4, winning eleven, san andreas, nfs, etc | 10:01 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: You could also look into Crossover Games. | 10:01 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: problem is i cant run those game on wine | 10:01 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: no cdkey | 10:02 |
| gluer | zcat: you dont like sauerbraten | 10:02 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Oh yeah... you need to buy the game. We don't offer support for piracy here. | 10:02 |
| ChaosParser | kelvin911: Then dual boot. | 10:02 |
| kelvin911 | Creationist: i dont need support for private | 10:02 |
| kelvin911 | Creationist: i already have them on xp | 10:02 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: May I ask what your qualm is? | 10:02 |
| kelvin911 | ChaosParser: i dual boot xp + ubuntu | 10:02 |
| Creationist | kelvin911: Then keep them on XP. | 10:03 |
| gluer | zcat: where do i get urt4.1? | 10:03 |
| zcat[1] | gluer: not really.. has a weird sway effect on strafing that makes me sick, and other than that, just not very exciting | 10:03 |
| tonyyarusso | p1r4t3: crimsun, if you can be _really_ nice and polite about it :) Please see https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/42718/comments/11 for all audio-related problems first. | 10:03 |
| Gnea | Creationist: he asked you what email client you used and you never gave him an answer. | 10:03 |
| Creationist | Gnea: Yes, I did. ANd he scoffed at my answer. | 10:03 |
| zcat[1] | Gnea: yes he did | 10:03 |
| * Gnea scrolls up | 10:03 | |
| Gnea | oh, ok | 10:03 |
| Creationist | Gnea: :P | 10:03 |
| gluer | use Thunderbird | 10:03 |
| Gnea | not sure what's wrong with gmail... | 10:04 |
| Gnea | in a month, yahoo mail might be obsolete... | 10:04 |
| Creationist | Is it possible to have Sound Juicer rip CDs faster? Right now it's only reading at 4.5x for some reason. | 10:04 |
| kelvin911 | anyone play flight simulator? | 10:04 |
| Creationist | Has MS bought Yahoo yet? | 10:04 |
| kelvin911 | i think its fun | 10:04 |
| zcat[1] | hehe.. just wondering, was suggesting to the local church that they should switch to linux. Not sure how they'd feel about using 'evolution' for their email tho :) | 10:04 |
| travkin | Google bought Yahoo. :> | 10:04 |
| Cahan | Creationist, no | 10:04 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: Ahhhh..... I get it now :) | 10:04 |
| Gnea | i don't know, what does /. have to say about it? | 10:04 |
| ChaosParser | zcat[1]: There's always thunderbird. | 10:04 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: I would have no problem using EVolution. | 10:04 |
| === garbanzo is now known as Weramasu | ||
| maop | zcat[1]: not mentioning about stop/Start daemons | 10:05 |
| gluer | zcat: Utr4.1?? where do i get it? | 10:05 |
| zcat[1] | yeah, and any OS with 'daemons' in it.. | 10:05 |
| tonyyarusso | travkin: and your reference for that is what? | 10:05 |
| Weramasu | Has anyone here had success installing Ubuntu on a laptop with ATI X1400 graphics card? | 10:05 |
| Creationist | maop: Isn't that pronounced day-mons? | 10:05 |
| zcat[1] | gluer: urbanterror.net I think.. or .org.. Can't remember | 10:05 |
| Cahan | Weramasu, no but I've done it on a laptop with an ATI X700! >_> | 10:06 |
| Gnea | day-mons is correct. | 10:06 |
| maop | Creationist: yep, i guess, i'm not a english native speaker ;) | 10:06 |
| kelvin911 | people on urbanterror server are not nice | 10:06 |
| p1r4t3 | hi, i am relatively new to linux, and i have installed linux on my laptop. the sound worked for a while, until today. the ubuntu install cd makes the sound card work, but the installed ubuntu does not.

| Creationist | maop: Lucky you lol | 10:06 |
| tobmaif | so hi can i ask a question or what | 10:06 |
| tonyyarusso | p1r4t3: did you read my answer? | 10:06 |
| Weramasu | Cahan: i keep getting errors when i try to install from the livecd. "The display server has been shut down about 6 times..." | 10:06 |
| maop | Creationist: in fact, daemons is a old word meaning angels he | 10:06 |
| Gnea | !sound | p1r4t3 | 10:06 |
| ubotu | p1r4t3: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:06 |
| Creationist | tobmaif: How many times do we need to tell you to just ask? | 10:06 |
| stefg | !sound | p1r4t3 | 10:06 |
| tobmaif | Creationist: you betcha | 10:06 |
| Weramasu | Cahan: I can't login to the wireless network from the livecd so I can't run the apt-get commands | 10:07 |
| Gnea | obvious troll | 10:07 |
| Creationist | I prefer ogres myself. | 10:07 |
| maop | i have this monaco font from mac os x, it totally rules! | 10:07 |
| kelvin911 | so did ubuntu have better support on wireless? | 10:07 |
| Gnea | i understand ogres get pretty hungry sometimes | 10:07 |
| p1r4t3 | thank you ubotu. ill check that out. | 10:07 |
| Cahan | Weramasu, X worked fine for me since 6.06, sorry : / | 10:07 |
| Weramasu | anyone know how to get wireless internet from the livecd? | 10:07 |
| kelvin911 | the last time i check a year ago, i cant make my laptop's wireless working in ubuntu | 10:08 |
| Conartist | help plssss...... | 10:08 |
| ChaosParser | Weramasu: Since it generally requires installing firmware and then rebooting.... nope. | 10:08 |
| progmanos | ubotu is a bot | 10:08 |
| ubotu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. | 10:08 |
| Conartist | i did what the page asked me to do | 10:08 |
| ChaosParser | Weramasu: Use ethernet. | 10:08 |
| zcat[1] | Weramasu: have a rt2400 wifi card? | 10:08 |
| Creationist | Does anyone know how to increase the ripping speed for Sound Juicer? | 10:08 |
| Conartist | and now i cant open up my alsa mixer | 10:08 |
| Conartist | when i try to open up my mixer | 10:08 |

| zcat[1] | or something equally well supported by totally free drivers and not needing firmware | 10:08 |
| Conartist | no volume control gstreamer | 10:09 |
| Conartist | what should i do | 10:09 |
| Conartist | ?????? | 10:09 |

| Weramasu | i have the internal thinkpad t60 wireless card and a orinoco gold | 10:09 |
| Weramasu | will either of those work? | 10:09 |
| tonyyarusso | igarcia: locate works for many things. Also, find. | 10:09 |
| Cahan | !bash | igarcia | 10:09 |
| ubotu | igarcia: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:09 |
| Starnestommy | igarcia: 'locate filename' or 'find / | grep filename' | 10:09 |
| zcat[1] | Weramasu: I think orinoco .. boot and see I guess | 10:09 |
| Conartist | can anyone help me try solving this problem | 10:09 |
| Conartist | i need help plsss!! | 10:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Starnestommy: find / -name filename | 10:10 |

| ChaosParser | Conartist: did this happen after an update? | 10:10 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: And what version of ubuntu are you using> | 10:10 |
| Conartist | i just did an update | 10:10 |
| Weramasu | what's the command to login to a wireless network using a WEP key? | 10:10 |

| igarcia | i just installed kismet is there a gui for it? | 10:11 |
| Stevethepirate | Haaai. I'm looking for a linux proxy server that allows me to use a socks5 server as its uplink/upstream. Tinyproxy only allows http upstreams.. and squid would be _far_ too much of a mission to set up... | 10:11 |
| ChaosParser | zcat[1]: Broadcom is a nightmare. | 10:11 |
| Conartist | hi use ubuntu 7.10 | 10:11 |
| jim | Conartist: hmm, the bot thinks you're flooding or starting to... why? | 10:11 |
| Conartist | can you help me in a sort of way?? | 10:11 |
| tonyyarusso | Starnestommy: I'm not 100% sure if it meets the requirements, but check out polipo. Very similar to squid, but on a much smaller scale. | 10:11 |
| zcat[1] | ChaosParser: had it working in gutsy.. still haven't got it sorted in hardy.. will probably wait until 24th 'cos every kernel upgrade is probably going to break it again anyhow | 10:12 |
| Stevethepirate | tonyyarusso: polipo: kinky.. i'll checkz it outz | 10:12 |
| DarkJustice | I just downloaded a theme for gdm but I can't seem to find where to go to choose the theme I put in /gdm/themes... | 10:12 |
| jim | Conartist: I am helping... think about why the bot thinks you're flooding | 10:13 |
| ChaosParser | !pm | 10:13 |
| ubotu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 10:13 |
| zcat[1] | DarkJustice: leave the theme in ~ and click '+ Add' button in the theme thingy | 10:13 |
| michael` | hi | 10:13 |
| Conartist | man...i m very new in this sort of thing, ubuntu, mirc, and i just want to know how to make my sound work, that s all i m asking | 10:13 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Did you update manually, or did Update Manager do it? | 10:13 |
| zcat[1] | well, that worked for emerald anyhow | 10:13 |
| ChaosParser | !patience | 10:13 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 10:14 |
| Conartist | i updated it mannualy | 10:14 |
| DarkJustice | zcat[1]: ok, for emerald I'll try that | 10:14 |
| Conartist | from the terminal | 10:14 |
| Starnestommy | Conartist: are you using 7.10 or 8.04? | 10:14 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: For someone new at this, that was a Bad Idea. | 10:14 |
| Conartist | 7.10 | 10:14 |
| michael` | ok, befor i ask somewhat: sorry for my very bad english :) | 10:14 |
| igarcia | is there a gui for kismet or a better program? i have heard of aircrack but not sure if its good | 10:14 |
| Conartist | the ubuntu tutorial site said it would help | 10:14 |
| kelvin911 | can anyone tell me which dock this guy uses ??? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/75563-1.jpeg see picture | 10:14 |
| Conartist | so i did as they told me | 10:15 |
| zcat[1] | igarcia: I think kismet is all console.. there's kismet-client tho which shows a batter view of what kismet-server picks up. | 10:15 |
| zcat[1] | *better | 10:15 |
| Conartist | can i talk to someone in a private tab?? | 10:15 |
| DarkJustice | zcat[1]: sorry I'm brand new... so ~ is what folder? | 10:15 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Did it work before you updated it? | 10:15 |
| Creationist | OKay, if no one knows how to rip CD's faster than 4.5x with Sound Juicer, could someone suggest an alternative program to rip to .ogg? | 10:15 |
| michael` | so - can i upgrade a debian stable to the current ubuntu version? | 10:15 |
| Creationist | DarkJustice: ~ is just a shortcut to /home/[username]/ | 10:16 |
| zcat[1] | DarkJustice: ~ is home -- '/home/yourlogin/' | 10:16 |
| DarkJustice | zcat[1]: ok thanks | 10:16 |
| jim | michael`: those are pretty different | 10:16 |
| Conartist | yes it worked | 10:16 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: He thanks you... heh, you owe me a beer ;) | 10:16 |
| Conartist | but i still had no sound...but at least my mixer worked | 10:16 |
| Zweisteine | Hi! A recent update (Hardy) broke the brightness keys on my Dell laptop. How can I see a list of changes in packages, similar to the one in the update-manager? | 10:16 |
| Conartist | now , even my mixer is down | 10:16 |
| Conartist | after i did the update mannualy | 10:17 |
| Creationist | Pick it up, Con. | 10:17 |
| Zweisteine | Sorry. Just read the topic. | 10:17 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Open Synaptic Package Manager, mark everything alsa for removal, then reinstall from terminal using sudo apt-get install nameofpackageyouremoved | 10:17 |
| zcat[1] | Creationist: would you settle for a shotglass of straight ethanol? | 10:17 |
| DarkJustice | sorry Creationist, I was looking for the zcat[1] nick | 10:17 |
| Creationist | zcat[1]: Hmm... is it organic? | 10:17 |
| michael` | jim: yes - i know. the first question is: will ubuntu boot after an upgrade from debian stable? | 10:17 |
| Conartist | chaos...i m a noob in linux..can i talk to you on private??? | 10:18 |
| zcat[1] | Creationist: was helping a guy today who distills for a hobby .. it's good stuff.. | 10:18 |
| ChaosParser | Zweisteine: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy | 10:18 |
| zcat[1] | nothing like drinking something that doubles as lighter fuel | 10:18 |
| Cahan | would it be better to install the server edition and then a GUI or install a desktop and then gut it of everything I don't like? | 10:19 |
| igarcia | what program do you use to download video from rss feeds like revision3 i dont really like miro seems to upload and slow things down on my internet connection. | 10:19 |
| ChaosParser | Cahan: Server edition comes with a GUI? | 10:19 |
| Cahan | ChaosParser, I mean install server and then apt-get Xorg and a window manager | 10:20 |
| Conartist | chaos plss....how can i talk to you on private??? | 10:20 |
| Conartist | i have a lot of things marked with alsa...in synaptic, i delete all of them??? | 10:21 |
| DarkJustice | zcat[1]: ok tried that but it's not recognizing it at all, sees the folder but nothing inside of it | 10:21 |
| twosouls82 | is it normal that /var/log/apparmor is empty? | 10:21 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager, search alsa. Mark everything alsa for removal, then reinstall from terminal using sudo apt-get install nameofpackageyouremoved. It cannot be explained more simply than that. | 10:21 |
| igarcia | i found this to customize the install of ubuntu not sure if its good but i found this http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ | 10:21 |
| zcat[1] | DarkJustice: hmm .. how about Desktop? | 10:22 |
| nsetiono | hi | 10:22 |
| nsetiono | anyone alive ? | 10:22 |
| Conartist | yes man...so i remove all the alsa files from my computer, and when i reinstall alsa from my terminal , = sudo apt-get install (i dont understand this part) | 10:22 |
| DarkJustice | zcat[1] ok I'll paste it on the desktop and see if that helps | 10:23 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: To reinstall, you type sudo apt-get install thenameofeachpackageyoujustremoved. | 10:23 |
| nsetiono | i got a problem when using iptables | 10:23 |
| ChaosParser | : cries. | 10:23 |
| zcat[1] | apt-get install --reinstall :-) | 10:23 |
| === igarcia is now known as DKong | ||
| ChaosParser | zcat[1]: No. He needs the repo versions of alsa. | 10:24 |

| nsetiono | i'm new on ubuntu | 10:24 |
| DKong | what rss downloader is the best? i want to download video and mp3 podcasts | 10:24 |
| Conartist | so when i remove for example.."alsa-base" after that i should type in the terminal , apt-get install alsa-base? | 10:25 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: GnomeBaker | 10:25 |
| DarkJustice | omg this is frustrating | 10:25 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: yes. | 10:25 |
| Conartist | for everything that i remove? | 10:25 |
| nsetiono | i need help on ubuntu hiks :( | 10:25 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: yes. | 10:25 |
| DarkJustice | zcat[1]: doesn't seem to matter where I put it, emerald only sees it as an empty folder.. the theme files are .png and .xml files | 10:25 |
| Conartist | i remove....i type in the terminal, i remove i type in the terminal? | 10:25 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: That rips too, huh? Faster than 4.5x? | 10:26 |
| mark[oz] | anyone on here tried to install ubuntu on an eeepc? | 10:26 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: Yep. | 10:26 |
| Conartist | doesnt matter in what order i remove them? | 10:26 |
| DarkJustice | is there possibly another them program I should be using for the gdm theme? | 10:26 |
| nsetiono | FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22-8-server/modules.dep: No such file or directory | 10:26 |

| Cahan | mark[oz], www.eeeuser.com has some good guides on installing various flavours of Ubuntu | 10:27 |
| Conartist | chaos:doesnt matter in what order i remove them? | 10:27 |
| Conartist | or i remove them randomly? | 10:27 |
| ChaosParser | DKong: System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager, search alsa samba, mark all packages for reinstallation | 10:27 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Doesn't matter | 10:27 |
| Conartist | ok man | 10:27 |
| Conartist | brb after i do all those things | 10:28 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: Hmm... I can't even find the option to rip it lol | 10:28 |
| Conartist | dont you go away:) | 10:28 |
| Cyrus25801 | how do i transfer my mail in thunderbird from 1 linux hdd to the other | 10:28 |
| Carroarmato0 | Has anyone got experience with switching a Desktop Ubuntu to the Sever edition? | 10:28 |
| N3WFI3 | they can be switched? | 10:28 |
| icesword | Carbonflux, don't do that sir | 10:28 |
| tonyyarusso | N3WFI3: of course - they're the same OS. | 10:29 |
| SlimG | "dpkg --configure -a" reports that I have several syntax-errors in /var/lib/dpkg-updates/003 , is it safe to remove all the files in the /var/lib/dpkg-updates/ folder and regenerate them using "aptitude update" ? | 10:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: just switch kernels and don't start GDM in your default runlevel, and you're done. | 10:29 |
| p1r4t3 | hi, i think i m going to re install ubuntu to get the sound going... thanks for the help... cya | 10:29 |
| icesword | lol | 10:29 |
| Dr_willis | gee i wonder whats so special about the server kernel. | 10:29 |
| kelvin911 | what icon theme u guys use? | 10:29 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: Or not. My bad. It just copies. Why not just use VLC? | 10:29 |
| icesword | no that kind of switch ,plz | 10:30 |
| Carroarmato0 | tonyyarusso: I have all my files on my account on the system, will they get affected? | 10:30 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: Will that rip to .OGG? | 10:30 |
| Starnestommy | Dr_willis: it's compiled with different options to make it more effecient for servers | 10:30 |
| Conartist | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 10:30 |
| tonyyarusso | Dr_willis: compile-time configurations for whether the priority is on mouse/gui responsiveness or lower-level stuff with more IO than interrupts. | 10:30 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: Quick open the disc, then select wizard, transcode as vorbis, select bitrate, save as whatever. Yeah. | 10:30 |
| Creationist | hmm | 10:30 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: You're not changing the system at all. | 10:30 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Close everything else you have open | 10:30 |
| Conartist | this is when i try to reinstall alsa-base | 10:30 |
| === DKong is now known as DKong-JR | ||
| Conartist | oh yes | 10:30 |
| Conartist | :) | 10:30 |
| suxxor | i`ve installed vmware can i install for example windows selecting directory of my hard or i must installed it inserting cd on which is written the windows | 10:30 |
| ChaosParser | suxxor: You need the cd. | 10:31 |
| Carbonflux | icesword, do what ? | 10:31 |
| suxxor | ok 10x | 10:31 |
| Dr_willis | suxxor, you dont want to run a preinstalled windows system from its hard drive. that can cause issues | 10:31 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: THanks for the tip, but I'm looking for something a little more straightforward - like Sound Juicer but faster than 4.5x (which is ridiculously slow) | 10:31 |
| icesword | Carbonflux, switch from desktop to server | 10:31 |
| Carroarmato0 | tonyyarusso: So when I've installed the server, is there any fancy webcontrole interface which I can manage the system by default? | 10:31 |
| Carbonflux | icesword, my machine froze and left a Ghost nick :) | 10:32 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: no. Servers doing have a GUI - that's kinda the point. | 10:32 |
| Carroarmato0 | tonyyarusso: or do I have to install like webmin? | 10:32 |
| DarkJustice | OMG I can't even set a new background for the desktop.... wtf does ubuntu use to set the dang wallpaper/theme etc. by default? | 10:32 |
| N3WFI3 | leet | 10:32 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: webmin is not supported nor recommended. | 10:32 |
| Dr_willis | thers some alternatives to webmin out now i belive | 10:32 |
| Starnestommy | ebox? | 10:32 |
| Cahan | Carroarmato0, you're better off just using ssh | 10:32 |
| Dr_willis | ebox sounds right. :) | 10:32 |

| tobmaif | hi sry but np | 10:33 |
| Starnestommy | voidvoidguest: you need to enable the framebuffer | 10:33 |
| Carroarmato0 | Cahan, tonyyarusso, so it's basicly a server in the strict sense of the word? | 10:33 |
| Conartist | everything marked with alsa? | 10:33 |
| Cyrus25801 | how do i transfer my mail in thunderbird from 1 linux hdd to the other | 10:33 |
| voidvoidguest | how would i do that? | 10:33 |
| Creationist | DarkJustice: Hmm... right-click the desktop? | 10:33 |
| Conartist | did you say? | 10:33 |
| nsetiono | anyone can help me pls | 10:33 |
| Starnestommy | voidvoidguest: if you're using 7.10, try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652038 | 10:33 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: "strict"? It serves...what more do you want? | 10:34 |
| Creationist | !ask | nsetiono | 10:34 |
| ubotu | nsetiono: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:34 |

| christophoros | guys any ideas why i cant watch dvd ? i have grafics card and all codecs installed what am i issing? | 10:34 |
| Conartist | k | 10:34 |
| voidvoidguest | thanks Starnestommy | 10:34 |
| voidvoidguest | later on then | 10:34 |
| Creationist | christophoros: What happens when you try to watch one? | 10:34 |
| Cahan | Carroarmato0, in that it has no GUI and prioritises server processes over user ones by default | 10:34 |
| ChaosParser | christophoros: What program are you using, and what happens when you try to watch a DVD? | 10:34 |
| Starnestommy | nsetiono: try 'sudo depmod -a' | 10:34 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: And again.. you're more detailed ;) The program question was my next one. | 10:34 |
| nsetiono | i had installing the iptables but when i try to run it it's give me an error, you can look the error at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62297/ | 10:34 |
| DarkJustice | Creationist: wonderful, thank you very much.. now, lol any suggestions on how to get that entire theme to work? | 10:35 |
| Carroarmato0 | tonyyarusso: although I don't have a problem working with ssh and such.... I was kinda expecting a webinterface to connect to it and manage it from there in all comodity. :) | 10:35 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: I've been a tech support slave. | 10:35 |
| Creationist | DarkJustice: Have you looked at System -> Preferences -> Appearance? | 10:35 |
| nsetiono | Starnestommy : not work because /lib/modules/2.6.22-8-server/modules.dep not available | 10:35 |
| ChaosParser | DarkJustice: Drag the theme package to the appearance window. | 10:35 |
| christophoros | creationist it starts the dvd without showing me image and sometimes the image is flashing with scenes of the movie i can hear the music | 10:35 |
| DarkJustice | Creationist: yeah but I'll look again, and try what ChaosParser said too | 10:35 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: Man, I get so frustrated just telling my mother how to login lol.... over, and over, and over again. | 10:35 |
| ChaosParser | christophoros: What program are you using? | 10:35 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: The reason such a thing is not included is because those types of control interfaces have serious security issues, and the technical board prefers to ship a secure product than a "convenient" one. | 10:35 |

| ChaosParser | Creationist: I did AOL support... [there's nothing worse]. And Dell Corporate Business Group, and Dell Small Business. | 10:36 |
| Creationist | christophoros: Okay... first step is to try different programs. Try Totem ("Movie Player") and VLC. | 10:36 |
| SlimG | "dpkg --configure -a" reports that I have several syntax-errors in /var/lib/dpkg-updates/003 , is it safe to remove all the files in the /var/lib/dpkg-updates/ folder and regenerate them using "aptitude update" ? | 10:36 |
| ekstelis | uhhh | 10:36 |
| ChaosParser | christophoros: Totem is crap. sudo apt-get install vlc | 10:36 |
| FreeNod1 | gksudo? Starnestommy ok cheers :D | 10:36 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: Worse than AOL could be MS. | 10:36 |
| Carroarmato0 | tonyyarusso: ok I get it. But the sever is like, pure server, and not a Home Server? | 10:36 |
| Starnestommy | nsetiono: are you using the kernel that came with ubuntu? | 10:36 |
| tonyyarusso | FreeNod1: ...don't mess with system permissions... | 10:36 |
| nsetiono | Starnestommy : yes | 10:36 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: I hate totem too, but can't get rid of it without getting rid of the mozilla plugin (the only plugin that works for me) | 10:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Carroarmato0: define "home server"? You can set up whatever programs you need. | 10:37 |
| christophoros | lemme try chaosparser | 10:37 |
| ChaosParser | Creationist: Eh. Support for Dell = Windows + Hardware. | 10:37 |
| ekstelis | when tryin to dl xfe .... which file do i need? a .deb .rpm .sh or a .gz ? | 10:37 |
| Starnestommy | nsetiono: and did you try 'sudo depmod -a'? What did it output? | 10:37 |
| Creationist | ChaosParser: Good point. | 10:37 |

| ChaosParser | Mikkel`: try throwing a sudo infront of your command. | 10:39 |
| xrhstaraspatra | hi from greece | 10:39 |

| FreeNod1 | right? | 10:42 |
| loa | ChaosParser, nop... that must be site of open source federation. | 10:42 |
| FreeNod1 | for me to use the directory? | 10:42 |
| DKong-JR | what is recomended for downloading rss feeds video i use itunes on my mac | 10:42 |
| tonyyarusso | FreeNod1: what directory would you be doing that to? | 10:42 |
| Cahan | FreeNod1, I don't use chmod much | 10:43 |
| ChaosParser | chmod usually means you screwed up. :-p | 10:43 |
| Carroarmato0 | tonyyarusso: thx for the help, guess there's no real need for me to run my system with another kernel since I use the server-side apps already on the desktop | 10:43 |
| Creationist | Cahan: My first Linux experience was Gentoo too! :) I chose it based solely on the logo and never did get a system up and running with it. :) Took 5 years off from Linux convinced it was for hardcore hackers only. | 10:43 |
| FreeNod1 | tonyyarusso: Cahan: /var/www/ | 10:43 |
| FreeNod1 | the apache one | 10:43 |
| tonyyarusso | FreeNod1: And you want every random idiot who visits your web site to have write privs to your site why? | 10:44 |
| FreeNod1 | I guess I'll have to move where apache is pointing then | 10:44 |
| Cahan | Creationist, haha, I got it up in a day or two, took me another 5 days to get X working though! | 10:44 |
| tonyyarusso | FreeNod1: add yourself to the www-data group instead, or use sudo like you've been told. | 10:44 |
| twosouls82 | apparmor doesn't log here, someone seen this behaviour? | 10:44 |
| Creationist | Cahan: Well, I was probably like 15-16 at the time :) I knew DOS and Windows inside and out... never knew a thing about linux when I decided to try it. | 10:44 |
| FreeNod1 | tonyyarusso: I don't wont people to visit my site on my desktop, it's for developing | 10:45 |
| N3WFI3 | lmao | 10:45 |
| === Gary-2 is now known as erichj | ||
| FreeNod1 | tonyyarusso: you have been very helpful cheers :) | 10:45 |
| N3WFI3 | this is gunna be my first time trying linux out in a few mins | 10:45 |
| jimcooncat | FreeNod1: adding yourself to the group is much easier than fiddling with chmod | 10:45 |
| christophoros | chaosparser do i need any different codex for lib? | 10:45 |
| DarkJustice | whew one issue down... can anyone tell me what I need to do on my ubuntu box to be able to use putty to ssh into it? | 10:46 |
| Cahan | DarkJustice, openssh | 10:46 |
| FreeNod1 | jimcooncat: how do I do that? command line? | 10:46 |
| Starnestommy | DarkJustice: install openssh-server? | 10:46 |
| DarkJustice | thanks | 10:46 |
| FreeNod1 | DarkJustice: install webmin too... makes all so much easier | 10:46 |
| grounded | moin | 10:47 |
| jimcooncat | Yes, or System->Administration->Users and Groups | 10:47 |
| Starnestommy | FreeNod1, DarkJustice: ebox is preferred over webmin | 10:47 |
| grounded | sorry is this the english irc? | 10:47 |
| tonyyarusso | yup | 10:48 |
| Creationist | grounded: Yes... What language you need? | 10:48 |
| grounded | thx | 10:48 |
| Starnestommy | grounded: it is, but there are other channels for other languages | 10:48 |

| DKong-JR | what is the best irc client for ubuntu? | 10:48 |
| FreeNod1 | Starnestommy: ebox? never heared of it... google time! | 10:48 |
| tonyyarusso | !best | DKong-JR | 10:48 |
| ubotu | DKong-JR: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:48 |
| ChaosParser | DKong-JR: I use Opera. | 10:48 |
| Creationist | DKong-JR: Best? Know one knows.. I use both XChat and Konverstion | 10:48 |
| grounded | i try in english ^^ | 10:48 |
| Starnestommy | DarkJustice: xchat or irssi. | 10:48 |
| Starnestommy | er, DKong-JR: xchat or irssi | 10:49 |

| Deanodriver | how do i get my sound settings so that if i plug headphones into my laptop, the speakers built into it switch off? i'm using a conexant chipset sound | 10:49 |
| ikm | tonyyarusso: just for cheking, i eject CD from DVD rom drive and setup ask me " your CD rome is not mounted , press YES to moud CD ) then i press YES, means ubuntu is installing ? ......... | 10:49 |
| Conartist | i installed and reinstalled.. | 10:49 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Now open alsa and make sure sound isn't muted. | 10:49 |
| BaD_CrC | if a usb device is successfully detected, how can i tell which /dev name it is using? | 10:49 |
| Conartist | how do i open alsa? | 10:50 |
| ChaosParser | BaD_CrC: Go there and see which one is new? | 10:50 |
| tonyyarusso | ikm: no, that just means your CD is being mounted. | 10:50 |
| icesword | alsaconf | 10:50 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: open a terminal, type alsamixer | 10:50 |
| Conartist | alsaconf? | 10:50 |
| Conartist | aa ok | 10:50 |
| ikm | tonyyarusso: so i restart pc and cheke CD for errors? | 10:50 |
| grounded | i like to buy one at ebay | 10:50 |
| N3WFI3 | im using firefox plugin chatzilla | 10:51 |
| Conartist | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device (this is what is says) | 10:51 |
| icesword | chatzilla sucks | 10:51 |
| Creationist | BaD_CrC: An easy way to check too is to unplug the device, then plug it back in and run "dmesg" at a terminal. At the end it will show any new connected devices. | 10:51 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Did you get sound on the live cd? | 10:51 |
| N3WFI3 | why | 10:51 |
| Conartist | nop | 10:51 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: 'cause it sounds like your sound card isn't detected. | 10:51 |
| ChaosParser | Conartist: Desktop or notebook? | 10:51 |
| BaD_CrC | Creationist: it shows it in dmesg | 10:51 |
| Conartist | yes, it isnt detected | 10:51 |
| ikm | tonyyarusso: this is strange, i was able to install ubuntu live CD on my machine before, but not now and alternate CD also didn't work for me .. why is that? :( | 10:51 |

| Starnestommy | Cew27: start it from the terminal and see what happens | 11:26 |
| nsetiono | simplexio : ya | 11:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bad_boy: ok, then it should be in the menu, applications/internet | 11:26 |
| [[thufir]] | what does this mean: "You need to add it to the Apache config files because it only installs a link to the folder in the /var/www/ folder. I'll find the lines that you need in a minute." with regards to phpmyadmin? | 11:27 |

| Tama00 | Bad_boy, rtorrent:D | 11:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | never tried rtorrent | 11:32 |
| Tama00 | its seriously good | 11:32 |
| Bad_boy | IndyGunFreak: thanks for the heads up, i was looking for utorrent for linux, i saw one for wine | 11:32 |
| ultramalf | Bad_boy: and I write documents in vim or lyx. | 11:32 |
| Tama00 | image utorrent but for cli for linux + 1000x better | 11:32 |

| Jaymac | christophoros: Go to System > Preferences > Main Menu and Sound and Video, tick the Totem-Xine programme so it appears in your list | 11:48 |

| Jan2 | PLease | 11:49 |
| hischild | |WolF|, i understand. My question was whether you want to mount it as a folder in your home folder, or somewhere else | 11:49 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: sudo apt-get install totem-xine | 11:49 |
| twosouls82 | omg(osh), this is not so nice; the upgraded modules package doesnn't have ".../ubuntu/security/apparmor/apparmor.ko"... that's why apparmor broke on my boxes | 11:49 |
| Armada | Slart: It also loads the linux kernel but doesn't boot ubuntu | 11:49 |
| |WolF| | hischild: if can be mounted as folder in homefolder it would be perfect | 11:49 |
| Armada | IndyGunFreak: 48x | 11:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Armada: don't know what instructions you followed, but you burn ISOs SLOWWww | 11:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | 2-4x is best | 11:50 |
| hischild | |WolF|, ok. Before going further, it'd be wise to backup your current fstab ==> sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bac | 11:50 |
| barbedsabe1 | like 4x if possible | 11:50 |
| Madroxprime | Okay, SO envy is a fancy way of saying epic failure | 11:50 |
| Slart | Armada: hmm.. that makes it tricky ... a possible broken boot drive and can't boot from a live cd.. | 11:50 |
| |WolF| | hischild: i did that | 11:50 |
| Slart | Madroxprime: indeed | 11:51 |
| Armada | IndyGunFreak: Then why is the text-mode cd working? I also burned that one at 48x | 11:51 |
| hischild | |WolF|, good. Then let's go on. Do you know the location of your new partition? (assuming you formatted it and gave it a filesystem etc) | 11:51 |
| esteth | Madroxprime: Envy is unsupported by ubuntu. You should try to use the restricted drivers manager to install non-free drivers | 11:51 |
| Slart | Madroxprime: well.. not necessarily.. but it's been known to mess things up beyond fixability | 11:51 |
| ultramalf | hischild: in the kernel, there is an option called UEVENT_HELPER_PATH. | 11:51 |
| ultramalf | it is set to /sbin/hotplug, but no such file exists. | 11:51 |
| ultramalf | which hotplug also. | 11:51 |
| ultramalf | sorry. | 11:51 |
| ultramalf | "which hotplug" run as root returns no location | 11:51 |
| FloodBot2 | ultramalf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:51 |
| ultramalf | FloodBot2: that's a bald-faced lie | 11:51 |
| christophoros | jaymac whats the download command for the lib again ? | 11:51 |
| hischild | ultramalf, wrong nick? | 11:51 |
| jimmo | i also tried restoring the xorg.conf back up file ...but it ddnot work | 11:52 |
| |WolF| | hischild: it is unpartitioned att all, so should i partition it as ext3 i guess? | 11:52 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: once you've added the !Medibuntu repository, type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 totem-xine | 11:52 |
| Madroxprime | Well the restricted driver i was using was making my entire hardware lock randomly when I was doing anything 3d-ish like wow | 11:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Armada: do as you want, it doesn't matter to me, but the GUI CD is a lot more sensitive to errors than the text mode cd | 11:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | or you have some sort of hardware issue | 11:52 |
| hischild | |WolF|, you can choose the file-system actually. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. ext3 is default for ubuntu and should work just fine. | 11:52 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: then you should be good to go, simply click Movie > Play DVD | 11:52 |
| Slart | Madroxprime: what video card? | 11:53 |
| speps | hey guys i'm getting mad with this error on compilation "error: cannot compute sizeof (char)" PLEASE HELP! | 11:53 |
| |WolF| | hischild: ok i did that | 11:53 |
| Madroxprime | nvidia 7600gs. | 11:53 |
| Starnestommy | speps: is build-essential installed? | 11:53 |
| Slart | speps: have you installed build-essential? | 11:53 |
| Slart | speps: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 11:53 |
| hischild | |WolF|, ok good. Then you know the location of the drive? (like /dev/sdb1 | 11:53 |
| Slart | Madroxprime: hmm.. odd.. nvidia cards are usually pretty well supported.. | 11:54 |
| christophoros | jay mac libdvdread3 is already the newest version. | 11:54 |
| christophoros | libdvdread3 set to manual installed. | 11:54 |
| christophoros | Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 11:54 |
| Armada | IndyGunFreak: I've been having a problem with the RAM, it doesn't bother me that much as it doesn't interupt my usage not even in games. And I don't have the money right now to fix it. | 11:54 |
| |WolF| | hischild: it is /dev/sda8 | 11:54 |
| speps | Starnestommy, Slart: i have build-essential | 11:54 |
| suxxor | i`m running only on ubuntu how can install windows ? | 11:54 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: did you add the medibuntu repository? | 11:54 |
| Starnestommy | speps: what are you trying to compile? | 11:54 |
| ChaosParser | Madroxprime: Uhm, I have the card... I've installed it using Envy and sucessfully ran WoW in Wine. | 11:54 |
| esteth | suxxor: do you want to remove ubuntu? | 11:54 |
| suxxor | no | 11:54 |
| speps | Starnestommy: animal-0.15.0 | 11:55 |
| hischild | |WolF|, alright. Then open up your /etc/fstab in any editor and add it in there. | 11:55 |
| christophoros | jaymac tell me how to :/// omg i feel so noob :/ | 11:55 |
| suxxor | i want to run with both systems | 11:55 |
| Starnestommy | speps: have you done everything in the readme and install files? | 11:55 |
| Slart | speps: can you paste the output of ./configure ? | 11:55 |
| suxxor | and i want so save the date of ubuntu partions | 11:55 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: are you using 7.10? (System > About Ubuntu) | 11:55 |
| esteth | suxxor: traditionally it's done with windows first, then adding linux, but you can go the other way too. Is any of your hard drive unpartitioned? | 11:56 |
| Armada | I'll test my live CD in another computer to make sure it's a hardware issue | 11:56 |
| Starnestommy | suxxor: if you're installing windows xp, I think you have to install windows first then install linux | 11:56 |
| Madroxprime | Chaos: Cool, but when I try to do any thing wine related it tells me I got an unhandled illegal instruction in the 32-bit code | 11:56 |
| speps | Starnestommy: yes i have just compiled successfully imageshack last version as requirement for animal but i get checking size of char... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (char) | 11:56 |
| speps | See `config.log' for more details. | 11:56 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: if you're using version 7.10 type this to a commandline: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 11:56 |
| Slart | speps: pastebin.. I meant pastebin.. don't paste it here | 11:56 |
| |WolF| | hischild: u mean i should write in fstab a line that will state # /dev/sda8 ? | 11:56 |
| manju29 | when i type #apt-get install dh_make its saying no installation candidate....wat sources i shd add in my sources.list? | 11:56 |
| twosouls82 | Starnestommy: that's so untrue | 11:56 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: then type wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update | 11:56 |
| hischild | |WolF|, close. If you pastebin your current fstab i will write it for you. | 11:57 |
| eliubile | happy Sunday | 11:57 |
| Jaymac | christophoros: then repeat the earlier command i sent you (the one to install libdvdread3 and libdvdcss2 with totem-xine) | 11:57 |
| suxxor | yes i`ve hot 10 gb unpartioned | 11:57 |
| Jaymac | got to go | 11:57 |
| eliubile | I need help: gnome doesn't start. It freezes displaying just my desktop background | 11:57 |
| Cahan | man, we need a distro "Ubuntu From Scratch" that is basically the desktop but without ANY bloat at all (no programs or utils apart from Apt), that would be so awesome | 11:58 |
| ensi | so its not possible to have nvidia 7 series working under lates ubuntu. mkay | 11:58 |
| hischild | Cahan, use the minimal install (like i do right now) | 11:58 |
| |WolF| | hischild: it is not alowing me to save it | 11:58 |
| suxxor | esteth: is that enough | 11:58 |
| Slart | Cahan: isn't there a minimial install? | 11:58 |
| christophoros | jaymac done it | 11:58 |
| Armada | ensi: What's the problem? | 11:58 |
| === zerobyte is now known as flo_93 | ||
| esteth | suxxor: You install XP to the "unpartitioned space" with the standard XP installation procedure, but then you need to reinstate grub as the bootloader. http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm has a good guide on how to do that. Allthough you can miss out the first part if you're happy with 10GB for xp | 11:58 |
| hischild | |WolF|, can you copy your current fstab on pastebin? ==> sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit (return link in channel please. ) | 11:59 |
| speps | Slart: http://pastebin.com/d28d0df58 | 11:59 |
| ensi | Armada: i cant get it to work with the nvidia binary driver. | 11:59 |
| Cahan | hischild, from the LiveCD? or Alternate CD? (I've only used Xubuntu / Kubuntu since Dapper) | 11:59 |
| ensi | Armada: with the restricted drivers i had the black screen problem | 11:59 |
| speps | Starnestommy: http://pastebin.com/d28d0df58 | 11:59 |
| esteth | suxxor: 10GB is enough to install windows and some apps, yes. It won't be enough for gaming, in general. You can use the windows ext2ifs(i think that's what it's called) driver to access your linux partition from windows and store your files there, though | 11:59 |
| ensi | binary drivers from nvidia just refuse to work and x starts with failsafe :/ | 11:59 |
| twosouls82 | why doesn't apparmor work when I boot the 2.6.24-15-generic kernel (using Hardy), it does when I boot instead of 2.6.24-14-generic | 11:59 |
| twosouls82 | ? | 11:59 |
| hischild | Cahan, install a command line system only, and then add only those packages you want. I've only installed fluxbox, xorg and some programs i always use like xchat and transmission. | 12:00 |
| Armada | ensi: k, so you want to manually install the drivers downloaded from nvidia.com? | 12:00 |

| titon | vmware | 12:13 |
| Starnestommy | titon: ntfs | 12:13 |
| hischild | |WolF|, the upper 2 errors are probably because it can't find a partition, which isn't bad. The other one you should fix as follows ==> gksudo /etc/fstab <== and where you see /home/storage, you should make it your full home folder (/home/iositd/ for example) and then add /storage again. Then save and retry the ==> sudo mount -a <== | 12:13 |
| titon | i want to be able to reach the files on the vmware from my xubuntu | 12:13 |
| Armada | ensi: btw in one step you need to comment out a line in xorg.conf, that is not present on every install, if you don't have it feel free to skip it, what's important is that you change nv to nvidia | 12:14 |

| binarical-app | Eric_Jardas: windows uses the master boot record or mbr to boot into winodws, since ubuntu is a linux system it is unrecognised by windows, as such it need to use a different boot loader to be able to boot a non windows os. you can use grub, which is the back bone of ubuntu booting :P or you could look to find something that maybe you could install from windows. | 12:24 |

| jjnull | I would like to install another distro instead of ubuntu | 12:57 |
| binarical-app | chimp: anything windows is mediocre at best, however if your ip is added to the network, then you wont have trouble connecting to your local network, you may have to edit a few things such as where you are added by default, but really, just do it on the windows side first | 12:57 |
| jjnull | I don't know how to use the image disk with a generic installer... | 12:57 |
| dani_ | hischild,iirc ? | 12:58 |
| dani_ | hischild,can u give me a small exemple ? | 12:58 |
| esteth | jjnull: as far as i know, wubi is a ubuntu installer. I don't think it works with another distro | 12:58 |
| hischild | dani_, if i remember correctly. | 12:58 |
| Armada | ensi: I was gone for a minute, didn't you get the PM? | 12:58 |
| chimp | binarical-app: Cheers for the help, just annoying really, theres about 10 or so computers that i want see allow to see the share without prompting for a password, pain to have to configure them all | 12:59 |
| jjnull | esteth: yes but wubi uses other software to work | 12:59 |
| hischild | dani_, man grep and take a look at the -o option | 12:59 |
| jjnull | it would me very easy to port | 12:59 |
| jjnull | be* | 12:59 |
| matthieu | do you know if it's possible to use a different gateway for each software? | 12:59 |
| binarical-app | chimp: it really only takes one computer to add you, preferably the network admin should add you. then you will have to edit a few things on your computer so that you join the correct "workgroup" or such things, | 13:00 |
| N3WFI3 | sup | 13:01 |
| Starnestommy | matthieu: I think it depends on the software. If each interface has a different IP and the program can bind to a specific address, I think it should be possible | 13:01 |
| N3WFI3 | i have ubuntu installed :) man its sooo sweet | 13:01 |
| f0rmat | i was asking yesterday how to make it so other users can't just access /home and someone said don't you 8.04 use 7.10 so i am it is still allowing other less privliged users access to each others accounts and even mine i would have thought that security would automatically make it so /home was chmoded to the right permission value :S | 13:01 |
| f0rmat | *use | 13:02 |
| matthieu | Starnestommy, i've only one network interface with one IP. The two gateway are on the same subnet | 13:02 |
| esteth | f0rmat: your home folder is able to be viewed by others, but not modified, i think. You can use the chmod command to change this so that others can only list the files, and so on | 13:03 |

| Armada | ensi: anyway, did it work? | 13:04 |
| astro76 | f0rmat: simply sudo chmod go-rwx /home/user on the user directories you don't want others to access, that removes Read Write and Execute from Group and Others | 13:04 |
| ensi | Armada: yes, eventually. the problem appears to have been that nvidia.ko was NOT loaded for some reason. i just modprobed it myself and 3d and glx worked. | 13:04 |
| esteth | f0rmat: You might be able to do something with encryption there. and auto mount the encrypted files on login or something, but i have no experience with it | 13:04 |

| binarical-app | conartist: did you enter that comand in the terminal ? if you did can you tell me what you saw, and if there was any output | 13:36 |
| conartist | if my chip is realtek alc885 there is no way in the world that it will work on ubuntu? | 13:36 |
| itai-michaelson | conartist, can i make a suggestion? it is possible that your problem will not be solved instantly today. i think that of you post on the forum (which is sadly offline momentarily) you have a better chance of getting a good solution. | 13:36 |
| f0rmat | thankyou | 13:36 |
| f0rmat | :) | 13:36 |
| f0rmat | astro76 | 13:36 |

| ricanelite | without having to reinstall Ubuntu? | 13:41 |
| binarical-app | conartist: you may have to get ndiswrapper and use it to install the windows driver for you | 13:41 |
| esteth | ricanelite: no | 13:41 |
| truebosko | So basically when I am installing Ubuntu I can set its swap to point to the currently existing Swap partiont I have yes? | 13:41 |
| root | feanyu | 13:41 |
| conartist | can i talk to you on private m8? | 13:41 |

| astro76 | ricanelite: hmm... when it says open a console, type ctrl+alt+f2 | 13:42 |
| truebosko | itai-michaelson - I dont have Debian anymore, but it looks like the swap partition was left there when I removedi t | 13:42 |
| truebosko | So I guess I can just take it over :) | 13:42 |
| snowolf | sure | 13:43 |
| conartist | how ca i do that | 13:43 |
| itai-michaelson | truebosko, you can , i have shared a swap between debian and ubuntu before | 13:43 |

| astro76 | archman: for what? | 13:52 |
| archman | astro76: audio; i need it for soundrecording | 13:53 |
| astro76 | archman: UbuntuStudio uses the low-latency kernel | 13:53 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, mmm...i don't think SCSI should be a problem, the only thing i can suggest is running the alternae install , it usually solves a lot of problems | 13:54 |
| archman | astro76: do you maybe got any clues why my sound 'cracks' when i record in ubuntu? When i record in xp (via VM) it doesn't crack... | 13:54 |

| archman | astro76: is there ubuntu studio live? i don't want to install it... | 13:55 |
| astro76 | archman: no experience with it.... you might want to check out #ubuntustudio | 13:55 |
| astro76 | archman: I don't believe so | 13:55 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, do you mean Kernel Panic? | 13:55 |
| Astralian | itai-michaelson: yes maybe | 13:56 |
| archman | astro76: ohh, damn...tnx anyway | 13:56 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, what computer are you installin on? | 13:56 |

| Frogger626 | astro76: For installing a new HD? | 14:01 |
| astro76 | Frogger626: #hardware | 14:01 |
| Frogger626 | Thnx | 14:02 |

| ceil420 | . | 14:02 |
| boris | someone tell me whats going on with ubuntu forums | 14:02 |
| ompaul | Frogger626, hardware ##hardware | 14:02 |
| Kurko | alternate is text based installer | 14:02 |
| fabiim | wich package contains the su program? | 14:02 |
| astro76 | boris: I hear they are down | 14:02 |
| boris | ah | 14:02 |
| boris | now i finally got connection and know why they're down | 14:03 |
| boris | The forums are currently offline while we do maintenance. We will return shortly. | 14:03 |
| Astralian | itai-michaelson: so what exactly should I do? | 14:03 |
| astro76 | fabiim: dpkg -S `which su` | 14:03 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, go here http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download | 14:03 |
| Astralian | itai-michaelson: what to download? | 14:03 |
| Astralian | 64 bit AMD? | 14:03 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, and check the "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." on th ebottom | 14:03 |
| CaptainMorgan | how do I update my flash player ? | 14:03 |
| esteth | what is the add/remove programs thing called from the command line? | 14:04 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, try the 32 bot forst | 14:04 |
| itai-michaelson | 32 bit | 14:04 |
| CaptainMorgan | I've the version, but the script couldn't find the proper path for the installation folder | 14:04 |
| soundray | fabiim: it's part of the login package. (Please don't use su to get root access in Ubuntu) | 14:04 |
| fabiim | astro76, tks | 14:04 |
| Astralian | itai-michaelson: what is the difference between alternate and normal amd 64? | 14:04 |
| fabiim | soundray, tks | 14:04 |
| Astralian | just installer or smth else? | 14:04 |
| fabiim | soundray, why? | 14:04 |
| Astralian | itai-michaelson: but Mandriva 2008 installs good. | 14:05 |
| soundray | fabiim: Ubuntu is designed to be administered with sudo | 14:05 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, no, the difference is between alternate and graphic | 14:05 |
| soundray | !sudo | fabiim | 14:05 |
| ubotu | fabiim: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 14:05 |
| Slade^^ | guys, has it firewall for linux??? | 14:05 |
| lion | alternate edition seems to provide more choies during installation. | 14:05 |
| Astralian | itai-michaelson: so will i see inside OS pictures or text only? | 14:05 |
| soundray | !firestarter | Slade^^ | 14:05 |
| ubotu | Slade^^: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 14:05 |
| lion | e.g. oem mode | 14:06 |
| itai-michaelson | Astralian, unfortuanetly the Ubuntu forums are down, so i cannot check for problems with your laptop. sometimes one distro loads better than the other | 14:06 |
| fabiim | ok | 14:06 |
| Iz | how can i fix my webcam and use it throw amsn? | 14:06 |

| fabiim | where can i see the source files of the program of the packages? | 14:07 |
| astro76 | Frogger626: it's usually English ;) | 14:07 |
| LaRoza | You would have to install the source packages | 14:07 |
| hyper_ch | fabiim: apt-get source PACKAGE | 14:07 |
| Frogger626 | astro76: I have babelfish pulled up, so I think I'm good, but an english channel would be preferable | 14:07 |

| LaRoza | It is in the login section in the Administration or Preferences | 14:49 |
| itai-michaelson | conartist, you did install build-essentials like i told you to right? | 14:49 |
| LaRoza | You can have it automatically log in, or after a certain time | 14:49 |
| soundray | vbhide: you want to login automatically? | 14:49 |
| conartist | yeah man | 14:49 |

| Lucias_O`Neil | LaRoza, No, because I can not find the correct package... | 14:50 |
| SpookyET | I have found a nice dar backup script. But it does not support ssh. It can, however, mount directories. Is it possible to have a on demand sshfs fstab entry that is not mounted at startup? I want the script to mount/unmount. | 14:50 |

| ubotu | donciccio_: 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 :) | 14:51 |
| conartist | that s the log | 14:52 |
| QDogg | Good morning. | 14:52 |
| conartist | on the 3rd step... | 14:52 |
| donciccio_ | soundray: root | 14:52 |
| conartist | when i do make install | 14:52 |
| soundray | donciccio_: so set it to be writable with chmod 644 | 14:52 |
| Lucias_O`Neil | LaRoza, I just get my history. | 14:52 |
| donciccio_ | soundray: but it is on a CD-rom | 14:52 |
| conartist | so? | 14:53 |
| conartist | what shoul i do? | 14:53 |
| soundray | donciccio_: and change ownership to your username with 'sudo chown $USER:$USER sitocmenu.nfo' | 14:53 |
| ries | Hey guys... I want to have an FTP server installed on ubuntu, but don't want to allow the users the browse over the filesystem and just allow access in his home directory | 14:53 |
| LaRoza | Lucias_O`Neil: What? Your history? | 14:53 |
| ries | what what FTP server shall I use ?? | 14:53 |
| Tengu | ries: pureftp | 14:53 |
| Lucias_O`Neil | LaRoza, But I know it is installed because it starts when I login and I can manually start it. | 14:53 |
| soundray | donciccio_: then you have to copy it to your hard disk drive | 14:53 |
| ries | Tengu: will install that... thansk | 14:53 |
| recon | ries: pureftp works pretty well. | 14:53 |
| LaRoza | You can start what Lucias_O`Neil? | 14:53 |
| soundray | !ftpd | ries | 14:53 |
| ubotu | ries: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP | 14:53 |
| donciccio_ | Ok soundray | 14:53 |
| conartist | have you found something itai?>?? | 14:54 |
| itai-michaelson | conartist not sure | 14:54 |
| cheese | Sorry to ask for help when this place is so busy, but since their wiki is down, can anybody give me some help with installing Beryl on Gutsy? | 14:54 |
| Lucias_O`Neil | LaRoza, When I start compiz | 14:54 |
| root | . | 14:54 |
| Tengu | ries: just have to config it a bit to chroot users. there are more features you can set. | 14:54 |
| conartist | so what do i do now | 14:54 |
| conartist | ? | 14:54 |
| LaRoza | cheese: Beryl is discontinued, use Compiz | 14:54 |
| ries | soundray: I just needed an opinion, I know how to get that list.... | 14:54 |
| itai-michaelson | conartist, i would post it in the forum, insculding your sound card, the link to the download and the error in configure. | 14:54 |
| LaRoza | cheese: Search for Compiz in Synaptic, and install the settings manager and plugins | 14:54 |
| QDogg | I am having trouble changing my themes while using systems->preferences->appearance. it seems that the screen hangs up on me and I cannot make changes | 14:54 |
| conartist | showul i run the steps again??? | 14:55 |
| conartist | should* | 14:55 |
| cheese | Thanks, Laroza | 14:55 |
| Tengu | ries: moreover, you can configure pureftp to use a DB such as mysql for user administration [with quotas and so on] | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | !beryl | cheese | 14:55 |
| ubotu | cheese: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 14:55 |
| ries | Tengu: I did see that... it' snot needed since it's just about one user | 14:55 |
| soundray | QDogg: in a terminal, run 'tail -f ~/.xsession-errors' and see if an error message is logged as it "hangs up" | 14:55 |

| TheFearsomeFufu | When I press ctrl+alt+f1, it should bring me to a terminal window, right? | 14:59 |
| sigit | big_dady | 14:59 |
| hischild | TheFearsomeFufu, try f2 for a better terminal | 15:00 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | hischild: When I go to any of them, my monitor just turns off O_o | 15:00 |
| hischild | TheFearsomeFufu, f1 is sometimes cluttered with startup info, as is f8. f2 should be clear. | 15:00 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | I have to go back to F7 for gnome | 15:00 |
| hischild | TheFearsomeFufu, that's odd ... and yes f7 is the x window again. | 15:00 |

| RickJames | hello. i'm trying to install gai (general applet library) and libsdl . i tried synaptic and apt-cache search. are these known by another name in the ubuntu world ? | 15:03 |
| wers | which compresses better, rar or zip? (imma send to a windows user so dont ask me to tar :D) | 15:03 |
| RickJames | winrar uncompresses tarballs | 15:04 |
| Frogger626 | I think that .rar has better compressionability | 15:04 |
| hischild | wers, rar | 15:04 |
| wers | okeii. thanks :) | 15:04 |
| Rotlaus | In Gnome or from gdm i can shut down my computer without giving a password. How can i do that from a command line or from a script? | 15:04 |
| mmm4m5m | Question hi LjL. I can't find modlogan screen shoot. Is it console tool? Best match is console tool like htop UI - to display columns, sorting, custom filters and actions (when I analyze log file, I could decide to run specific action) | 15:04 |
| ensi | Tatanka: i get this in my syslog | 15:05 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | Rotlaus: You have to be root to shutdown/reboot the system. Type "man shutdown" | 15:05 |
| amenado | RickJames-> arent applets jar files? so I dont think they will be in deb packages ? | 15:05 |
| ensi | Tatanka: nvidia module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel | 15:05 |
| === jl-satyriasis is now known as satyriasis | ||
| Rotlaus | TheFearsomeFufu, but ican just in gnome shut down my system, and i dont have to give my password | 15:05 |
| LjL | mmm4m5m, yes it's a console tool that outputs HTML (to be viewed in a web browser), see « apt-cache show modlogan ». GUIs for viewing logs are available, but i don't think any of them is modular with plugins | 15:06 |
| Tatanka | ensi: then it should be loaded... | 15:06 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | Rotlaus: gnome must use sudo or some other privlidged-user to run the shutdown command | 15:06 |
| RickJames | gai installs via ./confiure. when i try to install it i get this error : configure: error: No header files for X windows is found. Is xlib devel installed? | 15:06 |
| ompaul | Rotlaus sudo shutdown -h now | 15:06 |
| ensi | Tatanka: but it isnt. | 15:06 |
| ompaul | !supportroot | TheFearsomeFufu | 15:06 |
| ubotu | TheFearsomeFufu: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 15:06 |
| Rotlaus | ompaul, i know. But this ask for my password. Gnome or gdm dont ask. | 15:07 |
| RickJames | the author of the program i'm trying to install says i need gai and libsdl . but i seem to be missing too many files to make these work (?) | 15:07 |
| plurt | hmz, how do I find out what is running my X if it isn't gdm? | 15:07 |
| Tatanka | ensi: maybe there's some error after it? If lsmod doesn't tell you, the module is loaded, then there's something wrong with the module, I guess | 15:07 |
| ensi | Tatanka: its trying to load wrong version, dunno whereit comes up with it | 15:07 |
| SpookyET | This dar backup script with fuse sshfs and a fstab entry totally rocks rdiff-backup is totally unreliable. | 15:08 |

| wers | how do I compress to rar? | 15:11 |
| ensi | Tatanka: having "nvidia" in /etc/modules produces that error about wrong version, doing "modprobe -i nvidia" loads the correct version | 15:11 |
| ensi | Tatanka: yeah done that | 15:11 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL, it is not exactly log file. Input file could be customized - it is items with properties. But finally I want to be able to view it in console with columns, custom filters and actions. It could be "console catalog program" or "console db front end". Best match is "text/csv input file". Just searching around before selecting "vim with macros" or something like that. | 15:11 |
| hischild | wers, use rar (install it first) | 15:11 |
| Shadow_ | Can i get some help over here? | 15:11 |

| mmm4m5m | Question: LjL, any console tool which show columns and have filters plus actions (execute XYZ with parameter line1,col2) | 15:12 |
| Tatanka | ensi: maybe you should update the initrd, but that's just a guess... Try reinstall the nvidia-drivers? | 15:12 |

| Shadow_ | Can someone help me plz... Everytime i boot ubuntu 7.10 i get orange and black flicker | 15:14 |
| conartist | hjope to get and answer | 15:14 |
| LjL | mmm4m5m: does it have to be console? | 15:14 |
| ensi | Tatanka: i just dont get how i can find a single .ko in the system but yet it comes up with two different versions... | 15:14 |
| conartist | i ve post replied that topic | 15:14 |
| irotas | ensi: there's a nice automated way to install the correct nvidia drivers for you | 15:14 |
| irotas | ensi: let me see if i can remember | 15:14 |
| ensi | irotas: the script | 15:14 |
| irotas | ensi: there is a script out there on the web | 15:14 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: even simple gedit is good enough (I think I could add custom side pane, custom menu items, input file could be with fixed columns) but it is not console application | 15:14 |
| jack_spratt | can someone test this site, its giving me a server error: http://www.blender.org/education-help/tutorials/ | 15:14 |

| amenado | jack_spratt-> its 500 error for now | 15:15 |
| LjL | mmm4m5m: well, there are console spreadsheets. although it's more like a DB frontend you're looking for | 15:15 |
| keir__ | how do i figure out which devide is causing this? | 15:15 |
| irotas | ensi: good luck :) | 15:15 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: will check that... I have long list to check, that is why decide to ask first | 15:16 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: 10x a lot | 15:16 |
| jack_spratt | amenado: ok, its not just me then. what does 500 mean anyway? | 15:16 |

| amenado | Kate5492-> it run out of file names from aaa to zzz ? | 15:17 |
| Shadow_ | I was trying to fix the damn flicker for a week now... Will anyone help me plz finally??? | 15:17 |
| hischild | Kate5492, it means you're trying to split it into to many files. Try looking for an option that allows you to set more suffixes for the files. | 15:17 |
| Slart | Shadow_: what kind of flicker? | 15:17 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: yes, I saw these. Most important is - it must allow me, like gedit plugins where I can add menu items - I need to add custom filters and actions in order to be more user friendly. Even not sure all db front end will allow me to do that. | 15:18 |
| Slart | Shadow_: after the login? | 15:18 |
| Shadow_ | at startup before login screen | 15:18 |
| Shadow_ | orange and black | 15:18 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: That is why I told vim could be good enough for me | 15:18 |

| Kate5492 | hischild: i am new 2 Ubuntu can you help me please ? | 15:18 |

| ensi | is there a list of modules/names/files some mapping somewhere in /etc perhaps? | 15:19 |
| LjL | mmm4m5m: or emacs for that matter, you're almost 100% sure to find the exact plugins you're looking for for emacs, just need to be lucky enough to spot them amount the thousands :) | 15:19 |
| Shadow_ | o ok but the flicker is when actuall os is booting | 15:19 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: I like htop... is there such library which help for creating such applications? | 15:19 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: sure, will check about emacs and emacs plugins also | 15:19 |
| hischild | Kate5492, alright give me a second. | 15:19 |
| Shadow_ | should be ubuntu loading bar but insteads i get flicker | 15:20 |
| LjL | mmm4m5m: no idea honestly... htop itself just uses ncurses | 15:20 |
| Zangetsu | hi all | 15:20 |
| Slart | Shadow_: ahh.. the splash screen.. | 15:20 |

| Shadow_ | i will check that | 15:21 |

| Zangetsu | it's really noobish from me to talk on a linux irc chan from a windows client | 15:25 |
| amenado | michael__-> then your battery will have the phenomena of battery memory | 15:26 |
| izinucs | Ashfire908, you might also ask that in #ubuntu-server | 15:26 |
| Zangetsu | at least i should use xchat or somethin | 15:26 |
| Shadow_ | it sais queitspash | 15:26 |
| Slart | Shadow_: quiet splash ? | 15:26 |
| Shadow_ | yeah | 15:26 |
| Slart | Shadow_: remove the word splash | 15:26 |
| Slart | Shadow_: and save the file | 15:26 |
| michael__ | amenado, yeah thats why im thinking its saying that its only charging to 97% and linux is telling me its capicty is only 70% of what its suppose to be | 15:26 |

| amenado | michael__-> so once in a while try to let your battery discharge fully | 15:27 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: description is litle hard. Ok forget about console, it could be GUI. One completely not perfect example is - if it was windows, I could use excel, I could sort by column(s), I could define "custom filter", I could show/hide rows, I could execute actions like "search_text_in_google current_col_row". Filters and actions could be very complex I do not want to memorize them. I want to make them available like menu items with shor | 15:27 |
| Shadow_ | i will try to reboot and see what happens | 15:27 |
| michael__ | amenado, think ill get that 30% back ?? | 15:27 |
| Shadow_ | brb | 15:27 |
| Slart | Shadow_: I was talking about the line *starting* with # defoptions=... there are other lines containing the words quiet, splash etc | 15:28 |

| Slart | Shadowpillar: we're not finished | 15:28 |
| Zangetsu | hey guys | 15:28 |
| Zangetsu | im having a problem with my soundcard on my ubunty 7.04 | 15:28 |

| erUSUL | !sound | Zangetsu | 15:28 |
| ubotu | Zangetsu: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:29 |
| Zangetsu | what does the !sound cmd do? :D | 15:29 |
| michael__ | amenado, yeah but ive heard of batteries going bad because of being left plugged in all the time, didnt know if it wads ture guess ill let my run down alot more | 15:29 |
| wers | is there an opml editor for linux? | 15:29 |
| Zangetsu | yes ive determined my soundcard with lspci, but i didnt came to find a driver, and ALSA didnt recognize when i installed and stuff | 15:29 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: imagine input file is pidgin system log (buddy status). I want very quickly to open, apply few filters and see "person X usually come online at 9:00h". This is just example. And I do_not_want to create separate grep/sed/awk scripts for everything, like "show_person_X_login_time.sh". Because in my case this mean many separate scripts. | 15:30 |
| ensi | Tatanka: how do i check the initrd? | 15:30 |
| LjL | mmm4m5m: yes i think i understand, but it's tough, especially if you want it on the console | 15:30 |
| amenado | ensi you can create a directory and then cd to that dir and gzip -dc initrd.gz | cpio -id | 15:31 |
| izinucs | michael__, you normally have to cycle (let run down then charge) a battery if it is a nickel-cadmium battery.. less so witlh a nickel-metal-hydride... and never with a lithium. | 15:31 |
| Zangetsu | hoho, ive found a section to what to do if my soundcard is not found | 15:31 |
| Zangetsu | awesome, maybe this'll help | 15:31 |

| michael__ | izinucs, mines lithium ion, but see why would it be telling me my capacity is only 70% of what it should be ?? | 15:32 |
| tdela | steven__: generally not a good idea. | 15:32 |
| ChaosTheory | So I've just installed Attym. How do I run it? | 15:32 |
| amenado | Shadow_-> your choice text or flicker? | 15:32 |
| Shadow_ | lolz | 15:32 |
| comicinke1 | is there a tool that can align all my windows on the desktop like "above", "overlap" etc. ? | 15:32 |
| steven__ | tdela, but is it a big deal, since if I am the owner, and will be making accounts with it, thus making it pointless for me to have 2 accounts with similar permissions ? | 15:32 |
| Shadow_ | any way I can get the splash back and not keep the flicker? | 15:33 |
| Shadow_ | =D | 15:33 |
| izinucs | michael__, false reading?.. older battery? after a certain number of charges they usually start to go.. If it's over 3 years old start looking for a new batt. | 15:33 |
| amenado | steven__-> since you have pretty much already made up your mind, its difficult to convince you then | 15:33 |

| ensi | amenado: umh, i cant find initrd.gz anywhere in the system :) | 15:34 |
| tdela | steven__: you don't vreate "2" accounts, you add mysql accounts. The idea of it being a bad idea is a) If anyone were to gain root access, they have full access to all of your databases and 2) if you allow remote root access then anyone from the outside can perhaps attempt to get in | 15:34 |
| michael__ | trun them down =P | 15:34 |
| amenado | ensi look under /boot | 15:34 |
| michael__ | turn** | 15:34 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: if not console? One more details about my first example - the excel solution. It will require to import data instead to open csv file. Because excel store data with formating. I will need excel template file where to import my log (csv) file. And again - windows/excel is bad, because something are harder (not possible) to automate. | 15:34 |
| steven__ | true, well I'll do the right way, how do you change the sql's root password | 15:34 |

| mmm4m5m | erUSUL: 10x, will check it | 15:34 |

| amenado | ensi-> thats the same | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | mmm4m5m: also if you are processing csv files awk or a combination of cut grep sort with pipes are the answer ;) | 15:35 |

| mmm4m5m | erUSUL, LjL: I just start thinking again to pipe few commands... but to prevent long typing in console, to make custom_scripts which allow me to pipe (still new in linux, not easy to get the easiest way) | 15:38 |

| hischild | does apt-mirror create a repository suitable for both x86 and x64? | 15:41 |
| mmm4m5m | erUSUL: yes, could be that... my custom scripts always do everything. I totally forgot that they also could be in pipe. So I did not consider it because thinking how will write long grep/sed/awk expression which will filter. | 15:41 |
| freeman163 | i wouldnt get your dialer from them. | 15:41 |
| izinucs | pawan, if they have the source you can use alien and try to convert it to a .deb.. it looks like "broadband dialer" means you are using DSL or PPPOE in some fashion.. right? if so there are other solutions to do the same thing in Ubuntu. | 15:41 |

| ubotu | prem: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:44 |

| Zangetsu | you can easily learn to use it if you come from windows | 15:44 |
| bazhang | prem this is not a polling channel thanks | 15:44 |
| freeman163 | either redhat or ubuntu, they seem to be the most user friendly. | 15:45 |
| Zangetsu | geez, dont disappoint him, just wanted an advice | 15:45 |

| prem | i am a college student | 15:45 |

| Zangetsu | amenado: well yeah, you're right in that one | 15:45 |
| bazhang | prem that is offtopic here thanks | 15:46 |

| mmm4m5m | erUSUL, LjL: because I have to review entries one by one, that is why I need filters to apply dynamically (instead generating temp files). I just can't define in advance "which lines (files) I need to change owner" | 15:50 |

| pawan | going for swift dzire | 15:51 |
| christoz | MoonFog i can't run it from console... | 15:51 |

| LjL | mmm4m5m: well, you can do that too... | 15:51 |
| MoonFog | christoz: But just use the bin to uninstall | 15:51 |
| MoonFog | christoz: why can't you run it from the command line? | 15:51 |
| pawan | is it a good car | 15:51 |
| mmm4m5m | LjL: give me a sec., I have to check what is xargs | 15:51 |

| mmm4m5m | LjL: here or private msg? | 15:57 |
| amenado | cerneula-> what is your point? maybe clarify it a bit more? | 15:58 |

| christoz | MoonFrog i think the problem occured cause the java sun vm is not enabled ...when i type javac -version i can see that there is no java -sun but another compiler like cji | 16:06 |
| heartsblood | why does the update manager never show the download speed unless sub 300KBps? It seems once you start downloading updates in the 3-6MBps range it just doesn't want to work | 16:06 |
| n-iCe | hello question, why could the that my ubuntu sometimes takes a lot to start, or sometimes when I reboot ubuntu doesn't want to open programs, etc | 16:06 |

| MoonFog | And yes, that could be the problem, I always use the Sun JDK | 16:07 |
| dassouki | comicinke1, does openmoko provide wifi support? | 16:07 |

| mannex | \whois mannex | 16:09 |
| TheBills | you | 16:09 |
| heartsblood | Bazhang, I assure you that's not it. As an update starts the download speed will periodically blink in as ~3MBps then unkown and then blink in again as 4MBps and unknown again. It continues that until the download is done | 16:09 |

| BIOSboiler | ? | 16:23 |
| MindSpark | f0rmat, you will rather want to use vi or emacs from terminal | 16:23 |
| BIOSboiler | use ne | 16:23 |
| ader10 | BIOSboiler: 8.04 beta, yes, it is stable here | 16:23 |
| BIOSboiler | its easier than vi | 16:23 |
| erUSUL | f0rmat: it fires up vi use ":wq" to save and quit | 16:23 |
| MindSpark | but if you want you could also use a simpler/gui program like kate or gedit | 16:23 |
| bazhang | BIOSboiler: yes in #ubuntu+1 please | 16:23 |
| |Dede| | I cannot boot my Ubuntu when I use my Radeon 9500 GT (had to take it out just to install Ubuntu 7.10), I did NOT install any drivers. Can anybody help please? | 16:23 |
| ader10 | f0rmat: I would recommend just using "gedit" | 16:23 |
| BIOSboiler | use ne instead of vi | 16:23 |
| MindSpark | f0rmat, gedit <textfile> | 16:23 |
| BIOSboiler | nice editor | 16:23 |
| |Dede| | to be exact, it does boot but gnome doesn't start | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | BIOSboiler: ne is not installed by default | 16:24 |
| ader10 | f0rmat: If you want simplicity, gedit is the way to go. If you need to use the terminal only, nano is the way to go. | 16:24 |
| MindSpark | BIOSboiler, is that included by default on ubuntu ? | 16:24 |
| BIOSboiler | oh | 16:24 |
| cvd-pr | ?? | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | f0rmat: nano is anice console editor that happens to be installed by default | 16:24 |
| BIOSboiler | sudo apt-get install ne | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | f0rmat: nano file.txt | 16:24 |
| MindSpark | f0rmat, the most common text editors are pico, vi and emacs | 16:24 |
| hosified | detach | 16:24 |
| MindSpark | vi and emacs are more advanced though | 16:24 |

| Hammer89 | hi... I can't get any context menus by right clicking on my desktop... and my gnome-panel isn't showing any menus or applets... any idea what's wrong? | 16:31 |
| ader10 | Is it possible to split nautilus windows like terminator or blender? | 16:31 |
| |Dede| | erUSUL: I did not install anything | 16:32 |
| MindSpark | uptownben, you followed http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Buildingandinstalling ? | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | gnuskool: you can install any wm you like i guess | 16:32 |
| |Dede| | I needed to take my card out when installing ubuntu | 16:32 |
| |Dede| | and now I tried using it, but it does not work | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | |Dede|: so? | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | |Dede|: you mean that the livecd doesn't work? | 16:32 |
| gnuskool | erUSUL: i guess what i mean is, will a wm be enough, to run a system on?? | 16:32 |
| n-iCe | how can I install my webcam? | 16:32 |
| |Dede| | well, I used my onboard card when installing | 16:33 |
| |Dede| | so I could install Ubuntu | 16:33 |
| erUSUL | gnuskool: yes it was for years on linux until the de arrived ( /me and old timer) | 16:33 |
| |Dede| | it worked with onboard (the livecd) | 16:33 |
| uptownben | MindSpark, yep... cd to the compat-wireless-2.6.22... folder and type make | 16:33 |
| Hammer89 | *tries once more* hi... I can't get any context menus by right clicking on my desktop... and my gnome-panel isn't showing any menus or applets... plus I can't open up a terminal... any idea what's wrong? | 16:33 |
| gnuskool | erUSUL: cheers | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | |Dede|: well then plug the ati card disable the onboard vga boot in recovery mode and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' reboot | 16:34 |
| Hammer89 | nautilus wont load, either, apparently | 16:34 |

| n-iCe | try it | 16:39 |
| MindSpark | uptownben, is there a possibility that the output is written into that dir ? try mkdir build inside there and check | 16:39 |
| Zangetsu | anyway: i just installed this cvscedega (its stuff connected with winex) i started an application and there wasnt any text. i have suspicion about fonts | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | manju29: it is in the main repo | 16:39 |
| Zangetsu | any ideas? | 16:39 |

| sarah____ | yes | 16:49 |
| sarah____ | of course | 16:49 |
| Randocal | Is there a gui for rar? | 16:49 |
| AC0RNZ | it can break it up into 2 files? | 16:49 |
| irotas | stupid question .. in the ubuntu world is there an official "maintainer" for specific software packages? for example, if a package is significantly out of date, who would you contact? | 16:49 |
| erUSUL | BrainBug: if you can access an ntfs partition rw from command line the any software can. You can be having permisions problems though maybe only root can access the ntfs partition you have to fixs that not the ftp server | 16:49 |
| AC0RNZ | every time i right click and choose create archive it doesnt give me the choice | 16:49 |
| MindSpark | sarah____, sometimes, the device might just show in the file manager, without it being mounted | 16:49 |
| BrainBug | erUSUL, ok | 16:49 |
| Armedking | http://members.cox.net/iverylm/Vista_Acronym.jpg :D | 16:49 |
| lcuk | thats because you are using the default gui portion, you will need to use the console or a specific RAR gui | 16:49 |

| is_null | hello everybody, what's the best way to get ubuntu on a /boot that has 8M? | 17:00 |
| Danb1234 | hi i am having a problem with the install of ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop any ideas | 17:00 |
| erUSUL | katella: maybe it is just bad resolution?? heard that adding vga=auto to the grub boot line helps on that cases... | 17:00 |
| is_null | boot from live and compile a kernel without initrd? or is there something light avalaible with apt-get? | 17:00 |
| erUSUL | !boot | katella | 17:01 |
| ubotu | katella: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 17:01 |
| katella | erusul: def a possibility. being a ubuntu noob, just restart, hit the grub line, type that once and not worry about it again | 17:01 |
| katella | ? | 17:01 |
| erUSUL | katella: no if you want that to be permanent you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:01 |
| katella | there's one of those for EVERYTHING! | 17:01 |
| erUSUL | katella: you can do that from recovery mode | 17:02 |
| robdeman | anybody? Vobsub to SRT? (Or straight DVD-to-.srt) subtitle generation? | 17:02 |
| erUSUL | katella: well we have been collecting/adding/editing them for years now ;) | 17:02 |
| katella | erusul: I just threw my old card back in. I can change it. 8) so just add vga = auto anywhere in here? | 17:03 |
| SpookyET | sshfs seems slow | 17:03 |
| Danb1234 | ive previously tried using vga=771 and had no luck as soon as i choose the install option my screen just goes black | 17:05 |
| LetsGo67 | How do you play an HDCD in Ubuntu? | 17:05 |
| Danb1234 | u think using vga=auto will work? | 17:05 |
| katella | erusul does dan! Imma try it and might let ya know in a sec | 17:05 |
| erUSUL | katella: at the end of the kernel line after "splash quiet" | 17:05 |
| Skitt | Danb1234: which resolution do you need? | 17:05 |
| TitoN | what to use vmware server or vmware player? | 17:06 |

| erUSUL | seeker: you want the kvm machine to have more than one emulated card?? | 17:07 |
| Danb1234 | i tried selecting this in the install but it didnt make a diffrence | 17:08 |
| seeker | yes erUSUL, i want the virtual machine have 2 or 3 card | 17:08 |
| TitoN | or do i need vmware server to create the viritual machine and then use player to use it? | 17:08 |
| bazhang | TitoN: try the server package | 17:08 |
| katella | erusul: hrm. it's not letting me save it. bah | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | seeker: kvm is a fork of qemu so the command line sitches you will use with one you can use in the other | 17:08 |
| LetsGo67 | How do you play an HDCD in Ubuntu? | 17:08 |
| TitoN | bazhang k is there a big difference with them | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | katella: use "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 17:09 |
| bazhang | TitoN: never used player; server does what you want though | 17:09 |
| bazhang | LetsGo67: you mean a hd-dvd? that is a hardware req or do you mean a ripped HD file | 17:09 |

| soundray | computer13137: yes, the default Ubuntu kernel supports 8 cores and 16GB RAM | 17:23 |
| computer13137 | erUSUL: All I plan to run is the two quad cores. | 17:24 |

| Daisil | erusul: is there a way to just load ubuntu from here? | 17:37 |
| bazhang | ir4: just say three entries or two for ifconfig: (2/3) dont paste here just say 2 or 3 | 17:37 |

| Survivorman | n-iCe, right click on file, select properties, then go to opens with | 17:37 |

| PaRaSiTe | Just tihngs like Blender | 17:38 |
| ir4 | eth 0 , lo, eth1, eth1:avah | 17:38 |
| PaRaSiTe | And also, I'm tempted to go all opensource, like Open Office... | 17:38 |
| PaRaSiTe | But...compared to Office 07 it's not great, but it's free and legal | 17:38 |
| niko_ | in amarok, the "building collection database..." will not go away. how do i correct this | 17:38 |
| bazhang | ir4: do you have the restricted modules installed? you can search for them in synaptic | 17:38 |
| soundray | PaRaSiTe: we're moving off the support topic. Maybe you will find more decision support in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:38 |
| |Dede| | I need a tool to make videos of my Desktop and which uses a GUI | 17:38 |
| amenado | niko_-> am not familiar with amarok, can you visit their website and look around for the options when launching it? | 17:39 |
| ir4 | how do i use synaptic | 17:39 |
| bazhang | or join #amarok | 17:39 |
| Survivorman | niko_, it just started doing that to me too... did you add anything to your collection. I did and it went away. | 17:40 |
| ir4 | when i go to the restricted drivers thing under system, my wireless card is on the list, but it says enabled and in-use | 17:40 |
| niko_ | i've looked quite a bit and tried things that have worked for others. i believe they have a irc channel | 17:40 |
| niko_ | okay, i will try that | 17:40 |

| f0rmat | :S | 17:41 |
| erUSUL | Daisil: if you *really* want to do it... «chmod +x file.run && sudo ./file.run» | 17:41 |
| PaRaSiTe | Btw, Ubuntu or Kubuntu/GNOME or KDE? | 17:41 |

| f0rmat | There is no screen to be attached. | 17:43 |
| Exteris | f0rmat, they need to start a screen first | 17:43 |
| Mirv | is someone succesfully using f-spot to display images? the image displaying is so slow it is rather useless for browsing eg. 12MP images from a camera... | 17:43 |
| soundray | !screen | f0rmat | 17:43 |
| ubotu | f0rmat: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 17:43 |
| michael__ | i never realized ubuntu had so many great games in the package manager including frets on fire damn ubuntu kicks windows a$$ | 17:43 |
| popey | f0rmat: you can poke in their bash history :) | 17:43 |
| Mirv | I wonder how it's proposed as being "the" photo viewing application with the performance it has/lacks | 17:44 |
| bazhang | ir4 open up synaptic package manager and search for restricted and make sure the restricted modules for your kernel are installed | 17:44 |
| bazhang | language michael__ | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | Mirv: you can use gthumb or gqview | 17:44 |
| soundray | Mirv: you're welcome to ask support questions, but if you just want to sound off, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 17:44 |
| Mirv | erUSUL: yes, I just wonder if there's some magic trick lurking somewhere | 17:45 |
| f0rmat | how do i list screens | 17:45 |
| f0rmat | ? | 17:45 |
| soundray | Mirv: you might consider the possibility that it's not F-Spot, but your card/connection is the bottleneck | 17:45 |
| f0rmat | all i keep doing is seeing my own | 17:45 |
| erUSUL | Mirv: f-spot is meant to be like picasa a cataloging app (and it is written in mono) if you want raw speed and manage huge photos use another program | 17:46 |
| soundray | f0rmat: please take some time to familiarize yourself with screen, following the links that Ubotu gave you. GNU Screen is a rather complex tool | 17:46 |
| Mirv | soundray: the machine is dual core with intel gma x3000, I'm not aware of any bottleneck. I do know gthumb performs better but I think F-Spot is now the default for new users. | 17:46 |
| erUSUL | Mirv: choose the right tool for the job | 17:46 |
| Mirv | erUSUL: yes, I just hope it gives good enough impression of itself to most users | 17:46 |
| n-iCe | how do I open a .wmv ?? | 17:47 |
| soundray | Mirv: I'm not talking about your machine, I'm talking about the way it accesses the photos | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | Mirv: i guess that not everybody manages 12 MB photos ;) | 17:47 |
| n-iCe | what player can I use? | 17:47 |
| Survivorman | n-iCe, vlc | 17:47 |
| soundray | !restricted | n-iCe | 17:47 |

| Mirv | erUSUL: yeah, well the images are 4MB but 12 megapixels, meaning what comes out on current crop of compact cameras mainly. it's a bit better with eg. 2MB images, but still mono or something is spending massive amount of time decoding just a jpeg... | 17:48 |
| Mirv | well, hopefully it will get better. it's a great app, it's just slow which kind of hinders the greatness :D | 17:48 |
| soundray | Mirv: if you're downloading 12MP photos via a USB 1.1 (which many cameras still have), then it's no wonder you're experiencing delays | 17:48 |
| n-iCe | soundray: but I need the player | 17:48 |
| n-iCe | what player can I use to play them? | 17:49 |
| Mirv | soundray: nope, already downloaded, viewing from hard disk | 17:49 |
| chsmrs | hi again. is perhaps someone here who knows howto set up to fingerprint reader for gdm on a HP 8510p? | 17:49 |
| soundray | n-iCe: you can use any player, once you have the codecs | 17:49 |
| n-iCe | mplayer didn't work | 17:49 |
| n-iCe | soundray: oooh ok | 17:49 |
| Mirv | soundray: the (progressive) decoding is just very slow compared to gthumb & co, like 10x slower or more | 17:49 |
| soundray | !doesntwork | n-iCe | 17:49 |
| ubotu | n-iCe: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 17:49 |
| n-iCe | soundray: where do I get a codec package? | 17:49 |
| Mirv | well, maybe 10x is about right | 17:49 |

| osx5 | question: i have a friend whos had a few power surges at their house and their wireless card that was stock wasn't working so they put a new one in, won't work. I think the pci slots were fried, can they get a USB wireless card and it'll run on a desktop fine? | 17:51 |

| nickrud | n-iCe that will get totem to play wmv, I think. For mplayer, you need the w32codecs , see the medibuntu link I gave above | 17:52 |
| bazhang | sorry soundray my bad | 17:52 |
| chsmrs | but sry for repeating anway | 17:52 |
| niko_ | on amarok earlier. i was wondering if there is a stress testing prog similar to prime95 and a temp monitoring app that would be good | 17:52 |
| n-iCe | is totem a player? | 17:52 |
| FnordPerfect | ahoy, everyone. Ok,I upgraded to hardy tonight. I'm still bound to the 2.6.22-14 kernel and corresponding module packages atm. However, I have a problem with the nvidia modules (a version mismatch between the kernel and X one). | 17:52 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: aye | 17:52 |
| soundray | chsmrs: your question is still a repeat from hours ago. Have you not been able to refine your question, based on what you tried in between? | 17:52 |
| n-iCe | I don't care what player it uses, just need to play the videos, thanks | 17:52 |

| cvd-pr | soundray, 'I told you already, why don't you listen', you could tell me it, instead of saying that | 17:53 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: some wmv will not play so be aware of that | 17:53 |
| chsmrs | soundray: no i have not. i have had to reinstall my OS because i somehow managed to lock myself out. someone in here gave me a very helpful link to solve this problem, but since i had to reinstall i don't have it anymore | 17:54 |
| soundray | cvd-pr: I just get annoyed when I realize that my advice is not valued | 17:54 |

| bazhang | your advice is very much valued soundray ;] | 17:55 |
| simplexio | i know you can "zoom" with ctl+alt++ or what compo it was but it didnt work just moment ago | 17:55 |
| linxeh | it doesent zoom | 17:56 |
| linxeh | it just changes the X resolution, keeping your original desktop size | 17:56 |
| soundray | simplexio: not really, but you can try to restore a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (there are usually several) | 17:56 |
| simplexio | bazhjust tried frets on fire and it messed my destop to just one monitor | 17:56 |
| linxeh | simplexio: did you try logging out ? | 17:57 |
| simplexio | ctrl+alt+backspace fixed it | 17:57 |
| soundray | simplexio: that'll fix itself on reboot (at the latest) | 17:57 |

| n-iCe | I cant | 17:57 |
| n-iCe | grr | 17:57 |

| bazhang | n-iCe: try the win32codecs from medibuntu not sure but worth a try | 17:59 |
| linxeh | simplexio: sure, its restarting X though, it goes through the whole init process again - you are unlikely to find a solution that resets X without forcing you to go through the process and restart your apps | 17:59 |

| TheTaylorEffect | bazhang - the LIVE installer gives me a warning, that says GRUB isn't compaitlbe with XFS. | 18:02 |
| nickrud | arvind_khadri sure, with gstreamer apps | 18:02 |
| n-iCe | how to know what ubuntu version do I have? | 18:02 |
| linxeh | simplexio: xvidtune or something | 18:02 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I thought that bug was long sorted out. Can you do a 'sudo apt-get update' and try the flashplugin-nonfree package again? | 18:02 |
| nickrud | n-iCe lsb_release -a in a terminal | 18:02 |
| soundray | !version | n-iCe | 18:02 |
| ubotu | n-iCe: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 18:02 |
| arvind_khadri | nickrud, yeah | 18:02 |
| bazhang | TheTaylorEffect: okay; any reason for xfs over ext3? the latter is more stable | 18:03 |
| TheTaylorEffect | bazhang - I thought about creatings a small EXT3 petition and mounting it on /boot - but I've read a number of things that | 18:03 |
| TheTaylorEffect | say this is an unstable configuration. | 18:03 |
| Ashfire908 | I set up a stun daemon on my NAT gateway, and i set pidgin to use the gateway as the stunserver but it doesn't seem to get the external ip... | 18:03 |
| n-iCe | ok I did the medibuntu thing and now? | 18:03 |
| nickrud | n-iCe did you do sudo apt-get install w32codecs ? | 18:03 |
| Pupeno | What do I need to install to have spamassasin enabled in Evolution? I've already installed spamassin package. | 18:04 |
| iositd | bazhang, xfs is faster at some systems (like mine with my couple thousand of tiny files), yet the /boot can't hold grub in that case. | 18:04 |
| TheTaylorEffect | bazhang - I was under the impression XFS was a "faster" filesystem... so I was going to try it as an experiment. | 18:04 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: In the document doesn't say to do that | 18:04 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Im trying... But I thing it will not work | 18:04 |
| n-iCe | let me do it | 18:04 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: you did all that in less than a minute? really? | 18:04 |
| iositd | TheTaylorEffect, it has it's advantages, just make sure you have a seperate /boot. | 18:04 |
| bazhang | iositd: thanks for the info! | 18:04 |
| nickrud | TheTaylorEffect /boot on a partition is useful with arcane partitioning stuff like lvm or raid, but not needed for a regular install. Just don't share it between different ubuntu installs | 18:04 |
| n-iCe | done nickrud | 18:04 |
| n-iCe | downloading | 18:04 |
| iositd | nickrud, keeping /boot seperate is also usefull when you use xfs :-) | 18:05 |
| AlexQ | soundray: How does it generate the .xpt file? It isn't in the archive from adobe | 18:05 |
| TheTaylorEffect | iositd - would you suggest using LILO rather then GRUB? | 18:05 |
| nickrud | n-iCe if it completed successfully, you'll be able to play wmv's with mplayer (assuming all else is good) | 18:05 |
| simplexio | Bax_: xfs is very good fs, if you have ups | 18:05 |
| TheTaylorEffect | with XFS | 18:05 |
| iositd | TheTaylorEffect, i'd suggest grub. | 18:05 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: no I got an error | 18:05 |
| nickrud | n-iCe put the error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 18:05 |
| n-iCe | isn't available | 18:05 |
| iositd | TheTaylorEffect, hence the reason for using a seperate /boot (it only has to be like 100 meg or so) | 18:05 |
| n-iCe | is in spanish | 18:05 |
| n-iCe | the thing is isn't available the codec | 18:05 |
| soundray | AlexQ: sorry, I don't know about the package's internals. Just that it worked flawlessly here after that bug had been fixed | 18:05 |
| Pupeno | I can't find any other related package. Anybody knows? | 18:05 |
| n-iCe | the package * | 18:05 |
| AlexQ | md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 18:06 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: this is ubuntu or ubuntu based? | 18:06 |
| AlexQ | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | there is no candidate for the installation, something like that | 18:06 |
| TheTaylorEffect | iositd - and should i use EXT3 on /boot? | 18:06 |
| nickrud | n-iCe then you didn't complete the instructions on the medibuntu install page, the two steps of adding the repository and adding the gpg key | 18:06 |
| AlexQ | soundray: I do NOT thinks so ;) | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | bazhang: ubuntu | 18:06 |
| sdakak | nickrud: thanks | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: oh yeah I did :| | 18:06 |
| bazhang | what version n-iCe | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | I pasted: # | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/edgy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | # | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty | 18:06 |
| FloodBot2 | n-iCe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:06 |
| nickrud | n-iCe then did you do sudo apt-get update ? | 18:06 |
| n-iCe | oops | 18:06 |
| iositd | TheTaylorEffect, i always used ext2, yet ext3 will work fine. | 18:06 |
| soundray | AlexQ: okay, I'll try to reproduce the problem here by removing and reinstalling. Hope I won't lose flash... | 18:06 |
| Hammer89 | anyone have any idea why locking my screen just locks the computer up? | 18:07 |
| identlage | hey | 18:07 |
| simplexio | TheTaylorEffect: /boot is nice to have if you think to use xfs in /, grub dosn't like xfs on boot partiotion, and xfs feel much fater than ext3 | 18:07 |
| n-iCe | sorry | 18:07 |
| AlexQ | soundray: OK, thanks v much, but do you have AMD64? | 18:07 |
| n-iCe | I pasted that then the wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update | 18:07 |
| nickrud | n-iCe the next step is the gpg key thing, | 18:07 |
| TheTaylorEffect | Iositd - okay - I'm going to give it a try Thanks for the input. I'll let you know how it turns out | 18:07 |
| TheTaylorEffect | Thanks everyone! | 18:07 |
| n-iCe | I did it :| | 18:07 |
| iositd | TheTaylorEffect, good luck! | 18:07 |
| identlage | i've upgraded to hardy heron and my nm-applet isnt working. its only showing "Enable networking and "Edit wireless networks" | 18:07 |
| n-iCe | my ubuntu version is 6.10 | 18:07 |
| nickrud | n-iCe did it get a bunch of files off the net? | 18:07 |
| identlage | anyone knows why? | 18:07 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: i guess so | 18:08 |
| AlexQ | soundray: http://ubuntuamd64.wordpress.com/category/poradnik/instalacja-flash/ - these commands don't want to work couz i dont have cd to install alien | 18:08 |
| nickrud | identlage #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 | 18:08 |
| iositd | identlage, /j #ubuntu+2 | 18:08 |
| iositd | *#ubuntu+1 | 18:08 |
| n-iCe | what player should I use to open the file? | 18:08 |
| pierre- | how can i get to work dri on intel 945 with "intel" driver on gutsy? | 18:08 |
| identlage | thanks guys | 18:08 |
| nickrud | n-iCe type sudo apt-get update , and put a copy of the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , then give me the link so I can look at it | 18:08 |
| soundray | AlexQ: do you trust your downloaded .tar.gz in spite of the md5sum error? | 18:09 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Yeah, of course, it's not possible that it's wrong, ive been reinstalling flashplugin many times | 18:09 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62337/ | 18:10 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I mean "trust" in the sense that someone evil might have slipped you a falsified archive | 18:10 |
| metbsd | pierre-: do you have wide screen | 18:11 |
| tyler | me? | 18:11 |
| michael__ | when i do the sudo apt get update it comes back with an error i think =P lemme check | 18:11 |
| AlexQ | soundray: No, that's not possible, it has been downloaded from old macromedia mirror, just once again by the intall0script | 18:11 |
| bazhang | michael__: this is gutsy or hardy | 18:11 |
| tyler | are there channels here? | 18:12 |
| soundray | AlexQ: if you feel safe doing it, you could override the md5sum checks in /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postinst | 18:12 |
| === ph8 is now known as ph8|away | ||
| michael__ | bazhang: gutsy | 18:12 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: found something wrong? | 18:12 |
| AlexQ | soundray: OK. | 18:12 |
| michael__ | bazhang: if i past it in pastebin will you take a look ? | 18:12 |
| nickrud | n-iCe ok, at the very top of that output I see it getting the medibuntu Package list, so you got the instructions right. So, sudo apt-get install w32codecs should work | 18:12 |
| bazhang | michael__: please pastebin the sources list | 18:12 |
| soundray | AlexQ: just remove the two lines that contain md5sum and run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree' | 18:12 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: ok now it says is already installed with the lastest version | 18:13 |
| nickrud | n-iCe then try playing the wmv with mplayer | 18:13 |
| n-iCe | But I cant' watch the video :< | 18:13 |
| OoteR_ | ls | 18:13 |
| nickrud | n-iCe is it a drm protected file? | 18:13 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: then it is not playable; some wmv just are not | 18:14 |
| michael__ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62338/ | 18:14 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: I don't know | 18:14 |
| michael__ | bazhang: ^ there you go^ | 18:14 |
| soundray | Hammer89: you haven't enabled any screensavers? | 18:14 |
| bazhang | michael__: that is your sources.list? | 18:14 |
| nickrud | n-iCe when you watch it on windows, do you need a password? Also, go find a test wmv on the net, see if that one plays | 18:14 |
| AlexQ | soundray: plugin changed, not trusted The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 18:15 |
| michael__ | bazhang: i believe its what i get out through the terminal when i use the command | 18:15 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: I don't think so, let me find a wmv in the web | 18:15 |
| n-iCe | do you got one? | 18:15 |
| bazhang | michael__: please paste your sources.list as well thanks | 18:15 |
| === peter__ is now known as slackern | ||
| omax | ciao a tutti | 18:15 |
| palcacer | Hi I a problem somebody to help me plese? | 18:15 |
| michael__ | bazhang: not to sound newbie but were do i find it hahah | 18:15 |
| bazhang | !it | omax | 18:15 |
| ubotu | omax: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 18:15 |
| AlexQ | soundray: I've entered the adress, now I 'im trying do download it by this script. So, if I have deleted the checking of the md5sum line, it would work, yeah? Im waiting. | 18:16 |
| DKong | do i need to do something special to access my windows home network to see shares? | 18:16 |
| patrick__ | whats the easiest to install/use dock for ubuntu? | 18:16 |
| simplexio | palcacer: no if you dont tell us what is your problem | 18:16 |
| omax | ok | 18:16 |
| pirata | where can i set more buttons like on system -> settings ? | 18:16 |
| Hammer89 | soundray: should I? (I'm not sure if any are enabled) | 18:16 |
| bazhang | patrick__: you mean awn? | 18:17 |
| michael__ | hey anyone know where i can find my sources.list ?? | 18:17 |
| metbsd | in /etc | 18:17 |
| f0rmat | i would like it so everytime i create a new user it changed there home folder to the correct chmod instead of me having to type "sudo chmod go-rwx /home/*" every time | 18:17 |
| michael__ | thank you | 18:17 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I don't know. I find it strange that it shouldn't work. I've just done a simple 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree', then a successful 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' without entering any addresses manually | 18:17 |
| Aentn | i use awn it was pretty easy to set up and im pleased with it | 18:17 |
| bazhang | michael__: you have some odd repos in there; try commenting out the wine one and try again | 18:17 |
| nickrud | n-iCe http://www.overly.com/door/tech/videos/02-test1.wmv | 18:17 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: thank you so much | 18:17 |
| n-iCe | I can watch it | 18:18 |
| nickrud | n-iCe tested that one in a couple situations, should be able to compare experiences | 18:18 |
| soundray | Hammer89: no, screensavers occasionally cause lockups. Make sure yours is set to 'Blank screen only' | 18:18 |
| patrick__ | bazhang i dont know of any docks for ubuntu except kibadock which is pretty hard for me to install..i screwed up last time ...but i've used a dock in mac os and i'm just wondering whats the easiest to use and install on ubunut | 18:18 |
| patrick__ | ubuntu* | 18:18 |
| Hammer89 | soundray: okay | 18:18 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Download done. plugin changed, not trusted The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 18:18 |
| bazhang | michael__: no need to paste those; I just saw most of them | 18:18 |
| n-iCe | :D !! | 18:18 |
| DKong | is the samba.conf only for my ubuntu machine as a server or is it for allowing me to see windows shares? | 18:18 |
| palcacer | Ok now we´re talking. I have a laptop I I put a external monitor, and It works well, but now when I start up, dosen´t start with graphics it start in "text" mode I think linux language, ando I don´t know how to turn it to normal!! | 18:18 |
| mrj | hi | 18:18 |
| mrj | i have a ad-hoc related problem | 18:18 |
| michael__ | bazhang: i think i may know what the wine one maybe gimme a min | 18:18 |
| soundray | AlexQ: can you try the same procedure that I just did? The --purge might make all the difference... | 18:18 |
| mrj | after set up | 18:19 |
| hoss | DKong: only for ubuntu machine | 18:19 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: thank you, now where can I find themes like, icons etc | 18:19 |
| mrj | and after i connect one pc to another | 18:19 |
| Aentn | palcacer, try typing "Startx"? | 18:19 |
| mrj | via ad-hoc wireless | 18:19 |
| AlexQ | soundray: I, to the fuc**n, what's up. OK, ill try | 18:19 |
| bazhang | patrick__: that would be avant-window-navigator; you need to install from an outside repo for gutsy, but will come in ubuntu repos for next release in 18 days | 18:19 |
| Hammer89 | is it a problem that apt-get autoremove just removed gnome-core and seahorse? :P | 18:19 |
| mrj | they can not ping each other | 18:19 |
| soundray | AlexQ: hey, not nice | 18:19 |
| DKong | what controls being ale to see windows shares | 18:19 |
| mrj | destination host unreachable | 18:19 |
| nickrud | n-iCe art.gnome.org , gnome-look.org | 18:19 |
| AlexQ | soundray: But what does it mean "plugin changed, not trusted"? | 18:19 |
| AlexQ | clear | 18:19 |
| wers | how do I remove software that I installed from source? | 18:19 |
| palcacer | Do you know what did I do? | 18:19 |
| bazhang | AlexQ: watch the language | 18:19 |
| iositd | !enter | mrj | 18:19 |
| ubotu | mrj: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:19 |
| boebi | my computer just doesnt want GRUB :p | 18:19 |
| soundray | AlexQ: don't know, sry | 18:19 |
| patrick__ | bazhang so i might as well just wait for hardy heron..cuz then that will be easier to install right? | 18:19 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: is there any manual about how install them? | 18:20 |
| boebi | anyone ever had a computer that simply refuses GRUB? lol | 18:20 |
| bazhang | patrick__: depends on your patience; can you wait that long? ;] | 18:20 |
| mrserii | hellow! i have problems with 8.04 someone can help me ? pivate | 18:20 |
| mrj | ok i got that sorry i will try to press enter less occasionally :) so can yo uhelp me with my ad-hoc problem ? | 18:20 |
| palcacer | thank you, I will try! | 18:20 |
| bazhang | mrserii: #ubuntu+1 please | 18:20 |
| Fade2Black | hey if i install ubuntu 7.10 when the new version come out can i just upgrade or would it be better to do a fresh install | 18:20 |
| niko_ | ubuntu is not recognizing my portable hard drive. any ideas? | 18:20 |
| patrick__ | bazhang...18 days is a while..although i'd prefer to have a stable release as im not too good with beta's and bugs and what not | 18:20 |
| bazhang | Fade2Black: either will do | 18:20 |
| nickrud | n-iCe gnome-look.org has some howtos | 18:20 |
| mrserii | bazhang | 18:20 |
| n-iCe | k | 18:21 |
| mrserii | i dosent know how to use irc | 18:21 |
| soundray | wers: some source packages offer a 'make uninstall' command. Run it with sudo. Failing that, go through the Makefile and undo all the changes that are listed under "install:" by hand | 18:21 |
| bazhang | mrserii: type /j #ubuntu+1 | 18:21 |
| wers | thanks soundray | 18:21 |
| soundray | !checkinstall | wers, to save you trouble next time | 18:21 |
| ubotu | wers, to save you trouble next time: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:21 |
| iositd | how can i create a new user, but not assign it a home directory and stuff? it'll be a user for ftpd services. | 18:21 |
| mrj | so anyone about ad-hoc ? | 18:21 |
| mrserii | ? | 18:21 |
| iositd | patrick__, i'm running hardy atm and i'm not having any trouble whatsoever. | 18:22 |
| achandrashekar | Anyone familiar with installing ubuntu on PPC? | 18:22 |
| bazhang | mrj: that is a very unclear question; please describe in detail exactly what you are trying to do and what you have done | 18:22 |
| nickrud | mrserii in the window, type /j #ubuntu+1 , starting at the very beginning of the line | 18:22 |
| DKong | what do you check when you cant access widows shares on a network?? | 18:22 |
| achandrashekar | Im having a specific issue with the install as it pertains to 7.10 | 18:22 |
| bazhang | 1337 nicks ;] | 18:22 |
| boebi | when i try to install grub, and i try mounting my partition, it says /dev/sda3 is either already mounted or /mnt/root is busy | 18:22 |
| nickrud | mrserii /j is short for /join | 18:22 |
| boebi | i try umount /dev/sda3 and is says its not mounted | 18:23 |
| mrserii | done | 18:23 |
| patrick__ | iositd..i've only been using linux itself for about 3 months now, but i know how to use irc chat!, would you suggest i download the beta? | 18:23 |
| boebi | so for some reason i cant mount my linux partition because /mnt/root, wich i created, is busy :s | 18:23 |
| bazhang | achandrashekar: have done so yes; please describe clearly your issues thanks | 18:23 |
| bazhang | boebi: this is gutsy? | 18:24 |
| nickrud | boebi do you have a terminal opened to /mnt/root ? | 18:24 |
| iositd | patrick__, i've actively used ubuntu (that's where i started) for about 2 months or so, from the moment i got my laptop. I've been able to fix almost every issue i had so far with it. | 18:24 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: I can't find the how to... :/ do you knwo how to istall the icons themes? the .tar.gz is on my desktop already | 18:24 |
| boebi | baz, yes | 18:24 |
| boebi | nick, no | 18:24 |
| bazhang | boebi: tab completion is your friend ;] | 18:24 |
| AlexQ | soundray: OK, ill try to lookup at this config file from flashplugin-nonfree. After a purge, i've received md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz once again ;) | 18:24 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: the issue when using the option for live i believe its no "something"...I type that..and the system after a white screen dumps to a prompt | 18:24 |
| boebi | tab completion? | 18:24 |
| nickrud | n-iCe system->prefs->appearance, and drag the tar.gz onto the window. To change to it, hit the customize button on the window, you'll see a new dialog with an icons tab | 18:25 |
| iositd | patrick__, IMO it's quite safe to do it. | 18:25 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: I also used the alternate cd | 18:25 |
| patrick__ | iositd..so in your own opinion is there a point to waiting the next 18 days?? also does it come with a dock in the repo's in the beta? | 18:25 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: and after install from console...just boots up and nothing on the screen. This is true across 6 different systems now. | 18:25 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: with dapper there is no issue. | 18:25 |
| soundray | AlexQ: isn't it weird that you get this problem while I don't? Perhaps you too should switch to the UK mirror server | 18:25 |
| bazhang | type three or so letters boebi then hit tab and the full nickname will come up and then we can see it clearly thanks | 18:25 |
| n-iCe | haha you coronel :D, nickrud thanks worked | 18:26 |
| iositd | patrick__, define dock? and for me it's stable, but that's a personal opinion on 2 systems. | 18:26 |
| magic_ninja | how do i change the date on my computer (i need to set it back for one year) | 18:26 |
| boebi | but what do i want to see clearly? i dont understand | 18:26 |
| boebi | ooh, its in mirc | 18:26 |
| n-iCe | nickrud: do you know how to put my trash can on the desktop? :D | 18:26 |
| soundray | !who | boebi | 18:26 |
| ubotu | boebi: 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 :) | 18:26 |
| bazhang | boebi: not you, us--if you do not use our nicknames then we can not clearly see your message | 18:26 |
| nickrud | magic_ninja right click the clock, upper right by default | 18:26 |
| mrj | so anyone on AD-HOC wireless under Liniux ? | 18:27 |
| boebi | bazhang, alright i understand now lol, sorry | 18:27 |
| magic_ninja | i'm on ice wm | 18:27 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Last time I haven't deleted all of the checks (md5sum after the unpacking), now I have done it, im trying now... | 18:27 |
| magic_ninja | whats the name of the program it runs | 18:27 |
| nickrud | n-iCe gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop , you'll see some options in the right pane | 18:27 |
| BIOSboiler | has any one ever setup x11 forwarding in here? | 18:27 |
| iositd | how can i create a new user, but not assign it a home directory and stuff? it'll be a user for ftpd services. | 18:27 |
| patrick__ | iositd like kibadock.. you know the thing that holds all of the icons etc...like on mac os | 18:27 |
| bazhang | achandrashekar: you type something? not sure what you mean by that--could you clarify please--also what drivers do you have for your video card and what card is it | 18:27 |
| boebi | bazhang, when i try mounting, it says that /mnt/root is busy | 18:27 |
| TheTaylorEffect | Patrick REALLY wants and AWN style dock... | 18:27 |
| soundray | BIOSboiler: just say what the issue is | 18:27 |
| murkyMurk | ctrl-alt-F1 to long does anything for me in Heron | 18:27 |
| iositd | patrick__, i'm sorry, i'm not familiar with a dock or MAC OS. | 18:27 |
| cchild | i use the following "truecrypt /dev/sda3 /mnt/myfat" to mount a truecrypte fat drive but users can't write to it. how do i do this? | 18:28 |
| TheTaylorEffect | but he wants it in the REOPs | 18:28 |
| patrick__ | iositd hd on ill get you a pic | 18:28 |
| iositd | patrick__, ok | 18:28 |
| soundray | murkyMurk: ask in #ubuntu+1 please | 18:28 |
| TheTaylorEffect | repo's* | 18:28 |
| AC0RNZ | yo guys, i split a rared file into 2 pieces using karchiver... then i click extract.. and it asks me for password.. i never set a password though? | 18:28 |
| murkyMurk | soundray: ta | 18:28 |
| AC0RNZ | anyway i can set it w/ no passwordd? | 18:28 |
| bazhang | BIOSboiler: is on hardy | 18:28 |
| patrick__ | iositd the thing at the bottom of the screenshot http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/4940/screenshotpy0.png | 18:28 |
| nickrud | magic_ninja sudo date <date> (see man date for format) , then sudo hwclock --systohc to set the cmos clock | 18:29 |
| iositd | patrick__, is that from the open apps or more like shortcuts? and doesn't compiz have that feature? | 18:29 |
| n-iCe | awesome | 18:29 |
| AlexQ | soundray: I have equal error when I was tryign to install flashplugin myself... Cannot execute /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: No such file or directory | 18:29 |
| bazhang | TheTaylorEffect: it will be in the repos in the next release | 18:29 |
| Iz | i just did all my updates in ubuntu. i installed the 7.04 and updated to 7.10 but when its b00ts grub gives me many options with different kernels :S why that?? | 18:29 |
| soundray | AlexQ: try a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install nspluginwrapper' | 18:30 |
| gkffjcs | does anyone know what program is responsible for gnome themes? I heard gconf, but the command gconf doesn't seem to exist. | 18:30 |
| boebi | it says this: /dev/sda3 already mounted or /mnt/root/boot busy | 18:30 |
| soundray | !themes | gkffjcs | 18:30 |
| ubotu | gkffjcs: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 18:30 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: its the standard ati that comes with g4 tower, and the command is live video=ofonly | 18:30 |
| nickrud | n-iCe that gconf-editor has a lot of browsable interest, you should look through ti | 18:30 |
| soundray | gkffjcs: also look in the menus: System-Preferences-Appearance | 18:30 |
| boebi | I checked and /dev/sda3 is NOT mounted, so for some reason it says that /mnt/root is busy | 18:30 |
| cchild | boebi, it mounts fine, is just that user can't write to it | 18:30 |
| patrick__ | iositd i dont know if compiz-fusion has it or not..all i know is kiba dock is pretty popular im just having trouble installing it... | 18:31 |
| patrick__ | iositd ill be right back.. | 18:31 |
| Teoz | when I try to make a script start up, I get the message System startup links for /etc/init.d/firewalliptables already exist but the script in that file doesn't actually start up | 18:31 |
| cchild | beobi, sorry i thought you were talking to me | 18:31 |
| bazhang | achandrashekar: have you removed quiet and watched the exact errors you are getting? that would be very helpful | 18:31 |
| boebi | cchild, i did the check (lc /mnt/root) and it turned negative, it did NOT mount | 18:31 |
| soundray | Teoz: is /etc/init.d/firewalliptables executable? | 18:31 |
| boebi | ls /mnr/root ** | 18:32 |
| n-iCe | k | 18:32 |
| Teoz | soundray: yeah I made a sudo chmod +x on it | 18:32 |
| boebi | grr, ls /mnt/root *** | 18:32 |
| gkffjcs | that's not really what I meant, I know how to change themes, what I need it to know the command for the tool that is responsible for themeing in gnome | 18:32 |
| cchild | beobi were you responding to my problem or you have your own? | 18:32 |
| boebi | cchild, i have a problem | 18:32 |
| soundray | Teoz: did you follow the other hints in /etc/init.d/skeleton ? | 18:32 |
| gkffjcs | not the configuration too | 18:32 |
| palcacer | Hi now I try to startx and it sads that do not find the screen, | 18:32 |
| nickrud | gkffjcs theme creation is still pretty much done by hand, gnome-look.org has some tutorials I think (or maybe art.gnome.org) | 18:33 |
| cchild | beobi, oh, what is it? | 18:33 |
| soundray | gkffjcs: you mean the window manager, metacity? | 18:33 |
| Teoz | soundray: not really, I just made a file with #!/bin/bash on the first line and then, the next lines are filled with what I would put in the console | 18:33 |
| boebi | cchild, i am trying to install grub manually, it failed at the ubuntu setup. so i start the life cd, and start with mounting, but it doesnt work | 18:33 |
| patrick__ | iositd im back...but ya | 18:34 |
| AC0RNZ | yo guys, i split a rared file into 2 pieces using karchiver... then i click extract.. and it asks me for password.. i never set a password though?, anyone know wut the password would be? | 18:34 |
| soundray | Teoz: in that case, I would suggest you use /etc/rc.local instead of the init script system | 18:34 |
| boebi | AC0RNZ, tried simply pressing OK, or enter, or whatever? | 18:34 |
| AC0RNZ | ill try | 18:34 |
| patrick__ | okay i might as well ask everyone in here...is it safe to download the beta? or should i really wait these last excruciating 18 days.. | 18:34 |
| AC0RNZ | i think i did that before though | 18:34 |
| iositd | patrick__, i understand. From what i've done with compiz so far, it should be possible to create that. Though i'm afraid i can't confirm that as i'm no longer using gnome or kde (using fluxbox) | 18:34 |
| Teoz | hmm, okay, I will try to find the command that updates rc.local | 18:35 |
| palcacer | Hi how I reconfigure my screen from "text" mode' | 18:35 |
| boebi | im gonna try something again, gonna boot into ubuntu again, brb | 18:35 |
| cchild | beobi, where is boot installed? what device--same as root? | 18:35 |
| cchild | i use the following "truecrypt /dev/sda3 /mnt/myfat" to mount a truecrypt fat drive but users can't write to it. how do i do this? | 18:35 |
| n-iCe | which one is the faster broswer? | 18:35 |
| soundray | palcacer: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 18:35 |
| patrick__ | iositd mind providing me with a screeny of your desktop? i've heard lots about fluxbox | 18:35 |
| AC0RNZ | n-Ice, i like firefox <_< | 18:35 |
| AC0RNZ | and dillo | 18:35 |
| iositd | patrick__, not at all. A second | 18:36 |
| patrick__ | =) | 18:36 |
| AlexQ | soundray: afres reinstalling the nspluginwrapper I've occured the same error once again ;(. What to do? | 18:36 |
| palcacer | thanks I will try!! | 18:36 |
| soundray | AlexQ: the "cannot execute" one? | 18:36 |
| n-iCe | How can I know my firefox version? | 18:36 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Yeah, the file just doesn't exist. | 18:36 |
| n-iCe | Is true that there are some firefox tricks to do firefox faster? | 18:36 |
| gkffjcs | no, I run kde, but I use gnome apps, they look really guly, if i run gnome-panel from inside kde then go to system prefrences and then go to appearance and select a theme all the sudden my gnome apps are themed. What I want to know is the exact command to start up the themer, so I don't need to allways start gnome-panel, and then open up the appearance prefrences. | 18:36 |
| soundray | AlexQ: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin doesn't exist at all? | 18:37 |
| iositd | patrick__, http://img402.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotpx9.jpg as you can see, no desktop shortcuts or anything. Everything i do is by shortcuts. | 18:37 |
| patrick__ | iositd sorry about that | 18:37 |
| Survivorman | n-iCe, a lot of the firefox tricks to improve performace are windows only | 18:37 |
| AlexQ | soundray: bash: usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: No such file or directory | 18:37 |
| n-iCe | oh I see | 18:37 |
| jaggy | http://pastebin.ca/974223 why would this happen? :( | 18:37 |
| n-iCe | there are no ubuntu tricks :< | 18:37 |
| iositd | patrick__, about what? | 18:37 |
| nickrud | gkffjcs I think that's gnome-settings-daemon | 18:37 |
| soundray | AlexQ: what do you get from a 'ls /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin' (mind the leading slash) | 18:38 |
| gkffjcs | thanks! | 18:38 |
| patrick__ | nothing just computer freaked out haha ..i tried to set something as my background and it logged me off...weird | 18:38 |
| Survivorman | n-iCe, keeping firefox lean and not bogged down with lots of extensions can help | 18:38 |
| iositd | patrick__, that is weird. Did you see the screenie? | 18:38 |
| AlexQ | soundray: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin | 18:38 |
| nickrud | gkffjcs but to be sure, next time you start up the panel, see what other apps get started at the same time (ps aux is useful for that) and one of those is the culprit | 18:38 |
| patrick__ | iositd sorry but no mind sending again? | 18:38 |
| iositd | patrick__, http://img402.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotpx9.jpg there you go | 18:39 |
| AC0RNZ | n-ice, also deleting ur cookies and internet history and cache can help | 18:39 |
| n-iCe | thanks | 18:39 |
| soundray | AlexQ: so it does exist. Does it appear in green? | 18:39 |
| Survivorman | n-iCe, when firefox 3 is out of beta, i'd use that. there should be decent performance gains with it. | 18:39 |
| iositd | If i disable login when adding a user, will a program that i set to run as that user, still be able to do so? | 18:39 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Yeah | 18:39 |
| AlexQ | soundray: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash | 18:40 |
| danb1235 | hi im having problems installing ubuntu on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV9548CA) I've tried ubuntu 7.10 and the beta for ubuntu 8 and when i try install i just get a black screen | 18:40 |
| nickrud | iositd should, since apps owned by root run, as well as apache and the like | 18:40 |
| jaggy | http://pastebin.ca/974223 why would this happen? :( | 18:40 |
| iositd | nickrud, alright tnx. | 18:40 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: how is that possible...system doesnt even get that far on install... | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | thanks | 18:41 |
| n-iCe | ill be back later | 18:41 |
| soundray | AlexQ: what do you want me to do with this outdated link? | 18:41 |
| jaggy | anyone? please? | 18:41 |
| bazhang | achandrashekar: do any ppc distros boot on this computer? | 18:41 |
| AlexQ | soundray: I don't know, I just want a flash :). Change repo or what? | 18:41 |
| bmeynell | why would the 'status' command return 'status: Unknown job: foobar' when i know the 'foobar' job is running (confirmed by ps ax |grep foobar)? how can I get 'status' to work? | 18:42 |
| achandrashekar | bazhang: yes 6.00 dapper | 18:42 |
| cchild | i use the following "truecrypt /dev/sda3 /mnt/myfat" to mount a truecrypt fat drive but users can't write to it. how do i do this? anyone | 18:42 |
| soundray | AlexQ: which mirror are you using? | 18:42 |
| AlexQ | soundray: The problem is with this wrapper for plugins | 18:42 |
| AlexQ | soundray: Check in the sources.list? Moment. | 18:42 |
| patrick__ | iositd are those widgets on the right? or just another window..and do you ever get a bit mixed up with your desktop? | 18:42 |
| soundray | AlexQ: or in System-Admin-Software sources | 18:42 |
| msjones | hello. is there anyway to mount network shares via the command line? | 18:43 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I'm pretty sure the wrapper is fine. | 18:43 |
| simplexio | msjones: yes | 18:43 |
| iositd | patrick__, no i'm always fine with it. And the thing on the right is conky, which i've configured to monitor all sorts of things. The rest is all done by shortcuts | 18:43 |
| bazhang | achandrashekar: well the ppc is no longer officially supported--it is a community effort now--my question was more along the lines have you tried any other recent ppc distros livecd's on that computer other than ubuntu? yellow dog, etc | 18:43 |
| jrib | bmeynell: what does 'jobs' tell you? | 18:43 |
| msjones | simplexio: how do i do this? | 18:43 |
| bmeynell | jrib: it returns nothing | 18:43 |
| simplexio | msjones: that the normal way to do it. and how depends what you want to mount | 18:43 |
| danb1235 | is there any way to get ubuntu on a laptop ? | 18:43 |
| AlexQ | soundray: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse + deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy restricted main multiverse universe | 18:43 |
| bazhang | danb1235: you have hardy now? | 18:43 |
| iositd | danb1235, sure there is. I got it now. | 18:44 |
| patrick__ | iositd nice..ya i think im gonna switch over to hardy heron..it seems to be fine and if i ever screw up ill just 18 days | 18:44 |
| soundray | AlexQ: in System-Admin-Software sources, select the United Kingdom mirror. | 18:44 |
| bazhang | patrick__: join the fun in #ubuntu+1 ;] | 18:44 |
| Randocal | I have a NFS export mounted on my Ubuntu 7.10 machine. I accidentally shutdown and have taken some hardware out of the NFS server for maintanence, but I had neglected to umount the directory in Ubuntu first. Now I'm unable to access my file manager in Ubuntu, I think becuase it's trying to read the missing NFS mount. | 18:44 |
| Randocal | opening a terminal window and attempting to umount the share is not working either, any suggestions? | 18:45 |
| iositd | bazhang, it's fun ofcourse. | 18:45 |
| hiddensoul | danb1235, check www.linux-laptop.net for linux on laptop guides | 18:45 |
| bazhang | iositd: ;] | 18:45 |
| jrib | bmeynell: thought you meant shell jobs, you must be talking about something else | 18:45 |
| danb1235 | iositd: how can i get it to install | 18:45 |
| soundray | AlexQ: when you've done that, do a purge and install on the flashplugin-nonfree package. If it doesn't work after that, I'm lost | 18:45 |
| iositd | danb1235, just the normal desktop install does it's job just fine. | 18:45 |
| msjones | simplexio: I am writing a scripts to use at work. Im by no means new to CLI but i have no clue how to access/mount samba shares | 18:45 |
| azuki | so.. I usually install my os'es on a suitably smaller HD.. but the packages are automaticly installed on the first drive... how (or better: where) can I change this behaviour? | 18:45 |
| bmeynell | jrib: no worries, thanks anyway, i'll get it figured out | 18:45 |
| haxit | How can I remove the nm-applet icon from my notification area? | 18:46 |
| danb1235 | iositd: i tried that bu t as soon as i select the install option i get a black screen | 18:46 |
| soundray | azuki: can you rephrase that? | 18:46 |
| iositd | danb1235, tried the alternate? | 18:46 |
| david49 | just unpacked aMSN but can't read characters.......everythings too small, any help please? | 18:46 |
| azuki | soundray: I want to make my packages install on another drive | 18:47 |
| jrib | bmeynell: you're talking about upstart jobs? | 18:47 |
| bluefoxx | how long should it take 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a' to run? | 18:47 |
| danb1235 | iositd: ya it "installed" but i cant boot | 18:47 |
| iositd | danb1235, define "can't boot" | 18:47 |
| AlexQ | soundray: It doesn't seem to want to change :/. | 18:47 |
| soundray | azuki: the bulk of most packages goes into /usr. You can move /usr to a partition on another drive | 18:47 |
| hiddensoul | danb1235, try the alternate install cd | 18:47 |
| redtide_ | can anyone here help me install the asla beta driver for my razer barracuda soundcard? | 18:48 |
| soundray | AlexQ: what doesn't? | 18:48 |
| danb1235 | iositd: i get the same black screen | 18:48 |
| azuki | soundray: you mean I could just move it to another drive? | 18:48 |
| iositd | danb1235, tried to remove quiet and splash and see where it gets stuck? | 18:48 |
| hiddensoul | danb1235, what is the make and model of laptop | 18:48 |
| kumarphilly | hello | 18:48 |
| haxit | Anyone? | 18:48 |
| danb1235 | HP Pavilion DV9548CA | 18:49 |
| bmeynell | jrib: i'm working on a startup script for foobar but running '/etc/init.d/foobar status' (uses 'status' command) doesn't find the foobar process which is running | 18:49 |
| bazhang | haxit: have you tried? | 18:49 |
| astro76 | azuki: you can do that... most people just make /home on a separate partition, what's left in / can fit in 10-15 GB | 18:49 |
| Slart | Is anyone here running Songbird mediaplayer? (and don't !anyone me.. I just want to see if I'm the only thinking it looks nice)... | 18:49 |
| === MysT is now known as [GuS] | ||
| danb1235 | iositd: how do i do that? | 18:49 |
| soundray | azuki: 'just move it' -- yeah. You have to take some precautions and update your /etc/fstab, but essentially, that's what you can do | 18:49 |
| deviant_ | heylo | 18:49 |
| AlexQ | soundray: "Sources of the software (from Polish)" > Downloading from: > Others >Great Britain > archive.ubuntu.com (?) >Protocol: http > Choose server (accepting). But it's still "Main server" in the list "Downloading from: ". | 18:49 |
| iositd | danb1235, when you get the grub menu, hit e. Then go down to the kernel line, hit e again. Remove quiet and splash. Press enter. Hit b to boot. Mark where it gets stuck and be sure to give it at least 5 minutes. | 18:50 |
| jrib | bmeynell: and initctl list does not list your job? | 18:50 |
| azuki | ok... so, seen right, the package manager really IS ubuntu.... the FSTAB is for mounting right? | 18:50 |
| deviant_ | Does anyone know if the beta version of hardy will update itself to the release version over time? | 18:51 |
| bmeynell | jrib: initctl: No jobs matching 'foobar' | 18:51 |
| iositd | Slart, you know this isn't a poll channel | 18:51 |
| iositd | deviant_, it'll update itself. | 18:51 |
| nickrud | azuki that is an insightful comment | 18:51 |
| azuki | so I make a /home folder on another drive, how do I "fool" ubuntu to use it? | 18:51 |
| deviant_ | cool thx | 18:51 |
| bazhang | deviant_: yes and please join #ubuntu+1 for further discussion | 18:51 |
| haxit | Should I go somewhere else? | 18:51 |
| azuki | nickrud: well thank you :) | 18:51 |
| AlexQ | soundray: So, what to type in /etc/apt/sources.list ? I can't make it using GUI couse of an bug or sth | 18:51 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I see -- that's because that is the Main Server | 18:51 |
| jrib | bmeynell: hmm, well there's a #upstart channel on freenode you can try as well if no one here is familiar with your issue | 18:51 |
| iositd | AlexQ, you can make it using gui, doing gksudo gedit <file> to edit a file as root. | 18:52 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I'm using that one, too, so we aren't actually approaching a solution here. Sorry. | 18:52 |
| nickrud | azuki you would add a line similar to /dev/<hompartition> /home ext3 defaults 0 1 to /etc/fstab , then it will be mounted at /home at boot | 18:52 |
| bmeynell | jrib: awesome, thanks | 18:52 |
| Slart | iositd: yes.. I know. nevermind | 18:52 |
| AlexQ | soundray: But it doesn't change nothing from the System> Admin > Software | 18:52 |
| bazhang | haxit: have you tried removing it? | 18:52 |
| Knofi | hi | 18:53 |
| niko_ | ubuntu will not recognize a portable hard drive | 18:53 |
| AlexQ | Send me your own sources.list and Ill copy it to my file, OK? | 18:53 |
| niko_ | any ideas? | 18:53 |
| haxit | bazhang: is it safe? | 18:53 |
| azuki | right, and as I understand all installed software / programs aren't "attached to the kernel" (like windows's reg-key stuff), so I could be moving them around and ubuntu would care? | 18:53 |
| haxit | to unistall i mean.... | 18:53 |
| soundray | AlexQ: I know. It's because you are already using the Main Server archive.ubuntu.com (which is in the UK) | 18:53 |
| bazhang | haxit: sure you can put it back later if you wish | 18:53 |
| nickrud | azuki in theory, but other apps do have expectations sometimes. But it's adjustable | 18:53 |
| haxit | kk | 18:53 |
| amenado | how do I remove or rather add a filter to CUPS so it does not do staircase printing? and where is that added? | 18:53 |
| haxit | Thanks man :D | 18:53 |
| AlexQ | soundray: But in the soucres.list is sth with the pl. | 18:53 |
| bazhang | np ;] | 18:53 |
| Randocal | I've shutdown an NFS server on my network without unmounting the exports on my Ubuntu box first, anyone know how I can unmount now that the NFS server is down? I can't access my filemanager I think because the NFS server is missing in action and has confused ubuntu | 18:54 |
| Knofi | i have some problems with nfs... i cannot mount any external filesystem an none of the ideas in the error messages seems to help... | 18:54 |
| niko_ | same here | 18:54 |
| haxit | bazhang: Should i remove it via apt-get remove? | 18:54 |
| soundray | AlexQ: not in the snippet that you pasted here earlier... | 18:54 |
| niko_ | knofi: does it see the drive? | 18:54 |
| Knofi | how can i test this? | 18:54 |
| iositd | Randocal, sudo umount -lf <mounted location> | 18:54 |
| chi_ | HI, and pls help with syste-temperature --- fan is not working well | 18:55 |
| azuki | nickrud: I don't understand the FSTAB entry you noted btw, I tried using it before, without success.. (the reason I can't run KDE yet :/ ) ... there is no home dir noted there yet.. just some uids and a /proc | 18:55 |
| Knofi | normally it works, another machine is able to acces ist | 18:55 |
| un0p | azuki, obviously things wouldnt work if you moved them around | 18:55 |
| bazhang | haxit: from the panel? just right click should do it, unless you want to completely remove networkmanager and use only command line to connect to internet | 18:55 |
| Randocal | thank you iositd | 18:55 |
| niko_ | just go to places > computer and check there | 18:55 |
| haxit | bazhang: no it doesn't give me that option | 18:55 |
| nickrud | azuki uuid's are references to partitions, you can determine the uuid's of your partitions with blkid | 18:55 |
| danb1235 | iositd, looks like its hung up at starting bluetooth services | 18:55 |
| david49 | does anyone know why my aMSN is unreadable, ie, I can't even log in? | 18:55 |
| haxit | its just's managing my dhcp right.... and I don't need it to manage that, I setup my router to do that | 18:56 |
| Knofi | niko_: i dont use gnome... and the directory is static in /etc/fstab | 18:56 |

| nickrud | un0p the context was linux vs windows registries and locking apps into place | 19:01 |

| nickrud | un0p I would *never* have home on my path, too darned dangerous ;) | 19:02 |
| un0p | nickrud, errm, ok, i dunno what to say but i wouldnt suggest other people do that :) goes against the very reason $PATH was implemented :) | 19:02 |

| Fade2Black | is there a restricted fotmat site where i can download all the audio/video codecs i need | 19:05 |
| nickrud | azuki think of it like this: you have a list of directories vertically on a piece of paper: /boot , /etc , /usr , /home . Now, you cut a new piece of paper that has /home on it, and put it over the /home on the original list. The old one still exists, but isn't seen. That's what happens when you mount a partition at /home | 19:05 |

| iositd | brian, i'm doing more then the average user, i know that. Yet i only have 3gb ram and no swap file. I've never even hit the 2gb bar so far, even when i try to go over it. | 19:18 |
| b4l74z4r | after i updated, i get two new entries in grub referring to a newer kernel, does that mean that the older kernel menu entries have become obsolete and safe to delete from the list? | 19:18 |
| brian | ali1234: I THINK it uses that formula to decide. So it would put 4-8gb of swap. But unless your actually doing a lot of things at once, you probably won't need that much. | 19:18 |
| soundray | speps: I see, you're probably right. I thought it was a shell error. | 19:19 |
| ali1234 | i know for a fact that i wont use more than 1gb of swap. i only bought the new ram because i was sick of having to decide between using firefox, and using anything else, with 512 mb. | 19:19 |

| ali1234 | brian: but all docs say i need between n and n*2. 1 < n... is there anything that specifically needs n? for example, suspend to disk? or does that use a different file? | 19:21 |
| b4l74z4r | void^, but haven't they been automatically removed when i ran update manager to install the available updates? | 19:22 |
| void^ | b4l74z4r: no, kernel packages aren't removed automatically (so you can boot an old kernel in case of problems with the new version) | 19:22 |
| ali1234 | i see that i can now create swap files instead of partitions... so it doesn't even matter that much :/ | 19:22 |
| brian | ali1234: From that same page again: The hibernation feature (suspend-to-disk) writes out the contents of the memory to the swap partition before turning off the machine. Therefore, your swap partition should be at least as big as your RAM size. The hibernation implementation currently used in Ubuntu, swsusp, needs a swap or suspend partition, and can not use a swap file on an active file system. | 19:23 |
| b4l74z4r | void^, i see, but is it necessary to remove them or can i just leave them there? | 19:23 |

| winter_mute | hey, does anyone know how to remove the rhythmbox configuration? it keeps segfaulting and that's about the only thing I can think about causing it at this point. | 19:24 |
| J-Unit | on connection sharing wiki it tells me to repalce x and to replace ip wat do i replace x with and wat ip do i put? im sure its easy to find out, but im stupid :( plz plz plz help me :( (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing?) | 19:24 |
| void^ | b4l74z4r: you can leave them of course - just wastes a lot of diskspace | 19:24 |
| new_to_linux | is there anyone avalible to help me? | 19:24 |
| bobbob1016 | How can I force an unmount? | 19:24 |

| conb123 | hi im using ubuntu 8.04 and my sound doesn't seem to be working is there a way i can revert to 7.10 without losing any of my files | 19:25 |
| new_to_linux | Survivorman: ok, I want to beable to use my keyboard to incress / decress the volume on my ubuntu install here from my keyboard. Any idea on how to fix that? | 19:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: no | 19:26 |
| bobbob1016 | Nevermind, I thought umount -f might format, but umount -f is the command. | 19:26 |
| cristi1990 | hy, how do change permissions of an application? it says there i have to be logged in as root. how do i do that? | 19:26 |
| bobbob1016 | conb123, Yes | 19:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | new_to_linux: system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts | 19:26 |
| iositd | bobbob1016, use umount -lf, it kind of unmounts lazy | 19:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | bobbob1016: there is?...lol | 19:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'd love to hear it | 19:27 |
| conb123 | how? | 19:27 |
| bobbob1016 | IndyGunFreak, Without losing his files, as in home dir? | 19:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: i wouldn't get your hopes up | 19:27 |
| brian | On 7.10, the last few days, whenever I login, "nm-applet" asks me for the password for the keyring. It didn't start doing that until a few days ago(Been usin 7.10 for a few months). Is there a way to make it stop asking? | 19:27 |
| new_to_linux | IndyGunFreak: Im there, now what? | 19:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | bobbob1016: well, if he has a separate partition for /home, its possible, but i'd say thats unlikely | 19:27 |
| bobbob1016 | conb123, Without losing your home directory, or without losing ANY files? | 19:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | new_to_linux: you can't tell?... see where it says, "volume up/down".... assign keys to it | 19:27 |
| conb123 | any files | 19:28 |
| un0p | conb123, the only way it to reinstall the system (without formatting any of the volumes) | 19:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: this is a good lesson in why when you're inexperienced, you shouldn't mess w/ Beta's | 19:28 |
| new_to_linux | IndyGunFreak: I have done this alrdy, it does not work | 19:28 |

| charims | anyone have any ideas concerning how to use a db25(parallel) to rj45(ethernet) adapter as a nic? | 19:28 |
| bobbob1016 | conb123, The easiest would be just to copy the files to another drive. I agree with IndyGunFreak though, there is no way to save ALL files, your home directory yes, programs and things no, settings you can save though. | 19:29 |
| cvd-pr | Nvidia car enable, status = not in use? what the hell is that? something enable but not in use? | 19:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: why did you upgrade to hardy? | 19:29 |
| conb123 | err im using the 2.6.24-12-generic kernel should i just downgrade kernel have you heard of people having problems with sound in that kerne; | 19:29 |
| conb123 | ^kernel | 19:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | !downgrade | conb123 | 19:29 |
| ubotu | conb123: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 19:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: how many languages do you need it in, you can't do it | 19:30 |
| new_to_linux | i have assigned the buttons there for volume up, down & mute, I see the volume bar go up & down and even mute; but there is no king in the level of the playing music | 19:30 |
| bobbob1016 | conb123, You should just reinstall. You'll be MUCH better off. | 19:30 |
| conb123 | i know i just mean the kernel | 19:30 |
| bobbob1016 | conb123, Well better off than doing a kernel downgrade | 19:30 |
| KjetilK | On http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 it is suggested that one starts x with startx with -- -logverbose 6 to help debug, but X just respawns at once when I kill, I haven't figured how I would do that | 19:30 |
| new_to_linux | is the keyboard shortcuts broke? | 19:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: i think only you know what you mean | 19:30 |
| conb123 | it could be the kernel causing the problem with sound | 19:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | new_to_linux: not to my knowledge | 19:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: whats your sound device | 19:30 |
| new_to_linux | well then..wtf | 19:30 |
| brian | On 7.10, the last few days, whenever I login, "nm-applet" asks me for the password for the keyring. It didn't start doing that until a few days ago(Been usin 7.10 for a few months). Is there a way to make it stop asking? | 19:30 |
| KjetilK | it would be nice if I could set the loglevel in the xorg.conf, but all suggestions welcome | 19:31 |
| new_to_linux | so am i in the right place for support? | 19:31 |

| IndyGunFreak | conb123: open a terminal and run "lspci" no quotes, and see how it identifies your sound device | 19:32 |
| tmaleshfske | such as a ftp server that you want to connect to? | 19:32 |
| chaos_ | CHAOS | 19:32 |
| hiddensoul | mannex, try checking /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:32 |
| bobbob1016 | conb123, Yes it very well could. But downgrading the kernel is something you should not do, as a few others have said. I would suggest installing gutsy, and when you install, do custom, and have /home on a separate partition. That way when you reinstall, you just loose programs, but not settings or anything | 19:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | new_to_linux: we're not stupid, we've answered youk just repeating yourself isn't goin to make the answer come faster | 19:32 |

| new_to_linux | ok, so long as there is some support that resolves this small issue | 19:32 |
| chaos_ | HI!!!! | 19:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | conb123: are you sure you're using Ubuntu 8.10? | 19:33 |

| conb123 | in preferences -> sound | 19:33 |
| brian | tmaleshfske: Are you talking to me? Nope, I haven't added anything new to it. If I go look at the keyring, I have one password for my wireless network(Had it for months, never changed), and thats it. | 19:33 |
| conb123 | yes 8.04 hardy | 19:34 |
| bobbob1016 | new_to_linux, Does your keyboard have keys for volume up and down? | 19:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | J-Unit: i meant 8.04 | 19:34 |

| nickrud | MrSmileE1 ok, first thing try: reboot, hit escape when you see something about grub 1.5 on the screen. Then choose recovery mode boot. Next, run: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpam0g libpam-runtime libpam-modules libpam-gnome-keyring | 19:45 |

| BrainBug | hello, i have forwarded my proftpd 21 -> 21 when scan outside box i see 21 is open and proftpd is running on it ; local all works fine, but ppl from outside get timeout... anyone i use a SpeedTouch | 19:50 |
| ompaul | charims, you would have to send serial over the parallel port it has been done but it was soooooooooo long ago | 19:50 |
| charims | nickrud: i see that, but I did read aobut it using tcp/ip, so thats why i was wondering | 19:50 |
| ompaul | charims, can't remember how it was done | 19:51 |
| nickrud | charims yep. But I guarantee that ompaul knows a lot more about it than I. and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP-1.html will fill you in | 19:51 |
| charims | ompaul: do you have any ideas of where i could look it up? | 19:51 |
| ompaul | charims, I can't remember anything but that link looks good | 19:52 |
| NekoKun | Can I specify where to install the application wich APT-GET will install? | 19:52 |
| charims | thanks ompaul | 19:52 |
| charims | and thanks nickrud ;) | 19:52 |
| nickrud | NekoKun why would you want to do that? apt-get locations are carefully chosen | 19:52 |
| DIL | charims: not all the pins are used on the db25 you would have to ensure corresponding pins are used to correspond to rj45 pins used, if you have fire wire you can network with that | 19:53 |
| NekoKun | nickrud: Cause Im getting an EeePC :p | 19:53 |
| hp | theunixgeek, thanks | 19:54 |
| NekoKun | so I want to have a good space avaiable | 19:54 |
| charims | dil: no firewire, this is an older motherboard, and right now i have a wireless card installed, but i was hoping to go wired. I think i can jsut go and get a nic card tho. until then, i'm going to paly around with this parallel stuff and see where i can get | 19:54 |
| ali1234 | charims: parallel isn't much faster than serial in the big scheme of things. and serial is much easier to set up | 19:55 |
| nickrud | NekoKun oh, well, in that case you need to read up on --instdir and --root for dpkg | 19:56 |
| NekoKun | mmm | 19:56 |
| charims | ali1234: I don't have a connector for serial, though I'm sure i could make one. Are you aware of how it is done though? | 19:56 |
| NekoKun | can I set a default dir to install everything? | 19:56 |
| ali1234 | charims: serial? just use a null modem cable and start pppd at both ends, with proxyarp. plip? no idea | 19:57 |
| hp | theunixgeek, hmm, even when i created another mounting point, it doesn't work | 19:57 |
| charims | ali1234: we were discussiong how to use parallel to ethernet connection. IT may not be possible, we aren't sure | 19:57 |
| ali1234 | charims: i very much doubt that is possible | 19:58 |
| charims | ali1234: thanks | 19:58 |
| hp | theunixgeek, it keeps creating new folding after each reboot | 19:58 |
| N3WFI3 | sup! | 19:58 |
| N3WFI3 | is there like a control panel in ubuntu? i went thru all the icons i think lots of cool stuff is there more stuff to look at | 19:59 |
| ali1234 | charims: you could run either serial or parallel over rj45, but it would have to be serial or parallel at both ends. serial will give you a greater max cable length also | 19:59 |
| NekoKun | I'll have a 250GB USB drive... I wonder if I could make a ln -s in the /usr/bin folder to it and then install some applications remotelly | 19:59 |

| Adys | Totem: More chance in #ubuntu+1 too btw | 20:10 |
| joel | if you have no reason to keep anything on that partition I recommend formatting it | 20:11 |

| === Zetto_ is now known as Zetto | ||
| joel | I usually can tell based on the size of the partition | 20:12 |
| joel | with 5 partitions you'll have your windows partition which will probably be NTFS | 20:13 |
| joel | a SWAP | 20:13 |
| joel | which will say SWAP | 20:13 |
| joel | then three others | 20:13 |
| FloodBot2 | joel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:13 |

| style23 | on the gos how do you find the terminal | 20:13 |
| brian | Out of curiosity, would it be possible/how hard would it be to set it up so I can remotely manage a computer running 7.10? Preferably graphically. The computer I'd be managing from would also be 7.10. | 20:14 |

| ir4 | it says command not found | 20:26 |
| BrainBug | ir4, /sbin/ifconfig or try sudo ifconfig | 20:27 |

| joel | totem look in the last column | 20:27 |
| alx75775 | sure | 20:27 |
| ali1234 | brian: maybe just install webdav or something for that | 20:27 |
| CJS3141 | joanki: ooops I meant go to the menu "System" ... | 20:27 |
| ricanelite | anyone here has any experience with Envy? | 20:27 |
| brian | ali1234: Just double checking, but its "vncviewer IPADDRESSHERE" and it works? | 20:27 |
| Totem | joel: did you get me PM? | 20:28 |
| brian | ali1234: :O Whats webdav | 20:28 |
| ali1234 | brian: you have to start the server at the remote end too i think | 20:28 |
| iositd | !envy | ricanelite | 20:28 |
| ubotu | ricanelite: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 20:28 |
| joel | you should see the system type, it'll be "Linux" for your linux partition | 20:28 |
| BrainBug | ir4, ah k but u can see or your wireless works by ifconfig eth1 see or it has an IP adress if it has your good | 20:28 |
| ali1234 | brian: webdav is like a file browser through a web browser | 20:28 |
| Totem | joel: ok, then when I install, how to I select to install over the old partition? | 20:28 |
| zcat[1] | brian: my solution for shared directories: sudo mkdir /home/shared ; sudo chown nobody:nogroup /home/shared ; sudo chmod a+rwxs /home/shared -- everyone can write, all files end up oned by nobody:nogroup with full read/write access to everybody else | 20:28 |
| ir4 | yes it says int addr: 192.168.1.102 | 20:28 |
| joel | is there nothing on there that you need? | 20:28 |
| BrainBug | ir4, good it works fine now | 20:29 |
| ir4 | then it shows the broadcast and the default mask | 20:29 |
| Totem | nothing | 20:29 |
| BrainBug | ir4,yes normal :) | 20:29 |
| ir4 | but i still have the hard cord in | 20:29 |
| joel | is there only one linux system in the list? | 20:29 |
| ir4 | so ur telling me if i take the hard internet cord out that i should be able to run off wireless? | 20:29 |
| BrainBug | ir4, look in /etc/network/inferface | 20:29 |
| visik7 | is there a way to setup the second monitor as a workspace ? | 20:30 |
| brian | ali1234: But does webdav have thumbnails for stuff? Mainly pdfs and pictures. Also, what didja mean by I have to start the server at the remote end too? | 20:30 |
| zcat[1] | ir4: yep. but you'll have to reconnect to IRC after you unplug it | 20:30 |
| ir4 | how do i get to that | 20:30 |
| BrainBug | ir4, there u can configure, but for that i recommend google :P cause really depends | 20:30 |
| ali1234 | brian: vnc has a client and a server... you have to start the server... on the server | 20:30 |
| Prez00 | anyone gotten a lenovo x300 running Ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| ir4 | well shouldnt i have a icon on my desktop that shows wireless signal or something? | 20:30 |
| iositd | what section holds the driver on xorg.conf ? | 20:30 |
| BrainBug | zcat[1], can i pm u just to test something? | 20:30 |
| ali1234 | brian: as for webdav, it should have thumbnails if it's half decent :) | 20:30 |
| joel | if there is only the one "Linux" system in the list doing fdisk -l you should take note of the Device Boot "/dev/sda#" and then when you are installing hardy just select that partiton | 20:30 |
| brian | zcat[1]: http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/ <My solution for sharing stuff with friends :) Haha. Works really well, easy to set up. Plus, we're all commandlineretarded. | 20:30 |
| Totem | joel: I don't think there is a system that says Linux, but I haven't tried with that fdisk command yet. | 20:31 |
| joanki | joel, that link worked - THANKS | 20:31 |
| brian | ali1234: Ah, kay :) I'll see if vncviewer works good, if not, I'll look into webdav. Thanks a bunch | 20:31 |
| joel | sure thing joanki | 20:31 |
| * Prez00 is thinking about upgrading his x61 to x300, but wants to hear about x300 use under Linux | 20:31 | |
| joel | as for totem, you should have at least one that says "linux" in system, I've never seen that it doesn't | 20:31 |
| CJS3141 | can anyone help me understand why I have to run a program as root when the SUID for the program is root all ready? | 20:31 |
| DIL | ir4, network manger | 20:31 |
| zcat[1] | ir4: next time around I recomend network manager.. the little 'network' icon on your panel .. there should be a list of access points available when you click on it, just pick yours and it should all go | 20:31 |
| ir4 | WAIT on eth1 it says RX packets 243, errors 12 dropped 343 | 20:32 |
| Totem | joel: thanks for the help, i | 20:32 |
| alx75775 | joel, ur done? =) | 20:32 |
| Totem | ll try it! | 20:32 |
| joel | okay then you can do one of two things | 20:32 |
| joel | you can either format it and then select the drive do "edit" and make the mount point "/" | 20:32 |
| joel | or you can delete that partition, make a new partition with the space and again make the mount point "/" | 20:32 |
| Shubbar | is 6.06 more stable than 7.10 ? | 20:32 |
| Totem | oh, ok | 20:32 |
| Totem | what about swap? | 20:33 |
| joel | Shubbar, no it's not | 20:33 |
| joel | you can leave swap | 20:33 |
| Totem | alright | 20:33 |
| Totem | thanks | 20:33 |
| joel | it'll treat it as swap in HH or GG | 20:33 |
| Shubbar | joel, so why is it the LTS | 20:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is there a way to find out why 2 instances of python (reported as being started by kdeinit) are using all of my available cpu? | 20:33 |
| ir4 | my eth1 says errors on the packet | 20:33 |
| ir4 | it says it has 12 errors | 20:33 |
| Totem | ok, bye, I have to restart now | 20:34 |
| gorbierd | hey | 20:34 |
| gorbierd | what should i use to open 7zip archive? | 20:34 |
| zcat[1] | ir4: that's normal I think.. wifi gets interference from all over the place, other wifi, cordless phones... it just resends the error packets | 20:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ubotu! python | 20:34 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:34 |
| joel | from my understanding GG is LTS also just doesn't list it that way any more now that it's becoming a main linux release they are trying not to confuse people | 20:34 |
| ir4 | ok one more question | 20:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ubotu! python cpu | 20:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about python cpu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:35 |
| joel | sorry to whoever this is to, I know that there was another question that I said I would help with | 20:35 |
| Shubbar | my ubuntu hangs up, shuts down abruptly, i loss wireless connection, and i still cannot print on my printer | 20:35 |
| meoblast001 | hello..... the #fedora room wont let me in anymore so i need to know if anyone here knows how to get commands to run on startup on FC7.... i know im stupid for asking here.... but this is the only other place i know of to ask | 20:35 |
| zcat[1] | anyhow if it doesn't work you can just plug the wire back in and ask for more hwlp :) | 20:35 |
| ali1234 | Seven_Six_Two: investigating /proc might help you | 20:35 |
| ir4 | i has 6.06 and i updated to 7.10, and it had like files during the installation that it asked me to skip or whatever, should i have skipped them or installed them? | 20:35 |
| ir4 | had* | 20:35 |
| gorbierd | ubotu! 7zip | 20:35 |
| ubotu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 20:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ali1234, no prob. it's a big dir. any suggestions on how to narrow it down? | 20:35 |
| alx75775 | yeah joel, there was =) | 20:35 |
| joel | alx you there? | 20:35 |
| joel | there you are | 20:35 |
| alx75775 | jep | 20:35 |
| joel | okay so you don't have permissions to what? | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | Seven_Six_Two: yes get the PID of the offending processes and look in /proc/<PID> | 20:36 |
| alx75775 | i formatted a hdd, mounted it but still cannot write on it.. anyone an idea how to solve this? thanks! mount gives me this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62351/ | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | change of plan | 20:36 |
| sorto | I've got a strange problem - when copying files via FTP between 2 ubuntu machines each time I upload a file theres like a 5 second pause between the issue of the 'put' command and the file starting uploading. Once the upload starts its very fast. What could be causing this? | 20:36 |
| BrainBug | ir4, depend on what files, and what u need, but skip cant hurt when u have an error missing something just apt-get install <file> | 20:36 |
| olpcsyd | #olpc-support | 20:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ali1234, cool. thanks | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | im switching my server to Ubuntu today...... FC7 sucks | 20:36 |
| Shubbar | i i think the shutting downs are from nvidia card | 20:36 |
| ir4 | ok to run wireless do i need ndiswrapper? | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | Seven_Six_Two: in there you can see things like every file the script has open and stuff. so maybe you can figure out what it's doing | 20:36 |
| alx75775 | joel: i tried to make a textfile, but it failed | 20:36 |
| ir4 | or packet manager? | 20:36 |
| joel | alx what is it that you are trying to mount? an external? | 20:36 |
| xrhstaraspatra | help me | 20:36 |
| xrhstaraspatra | HELP! | 20:37 |
| zcat[1] | ir4: depends.. if you have some special config you want to keep, skip .. usually replace. But it doesn't seem to mayyer much which you pick, the default config usually doesn't change much | 20:37 |
| alx75775 | no its an internal hdd | 20:37 |
| BrainBug | ir4, no cause all works like it is now | 20:37 |

| joel | I personally never use gksu | 20:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ali1234 excellent. I know exactly what it is now. It shouldn't be running though. | 20:39 |

| RaceKondition | has anyone setup a cod2 server on an Ubuntu box? I'm really having trouble setting up the init scripts | 20:41 |
| joel | so it's the hdd1 at the end? | 20:41 |
| alx75775 | joel jep | 20:41 |
| joel | okay you should remove the (rw) and replace it with utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 20:42 |
| joel | that is your fstab right? the link you gave me? | 20:42 |
| alx75775 | yeah it is | 20:42 |
| alx75775 | konsole thells me this; | 20:43 |
| alx75775 | alx@alx:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /media/Eigenschaften | 20:43 |
| alx75775 | mount: /dev/hdd1 already mounted or /media/Eigenschaften busy | 20:43 |
| alx75775 | mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdd1 is already mounted on /media/Eigenschaften | 20:43 |
| FloodBot2 | alx75775: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:43 |
| joel | that's a long fstab....looks weird to me but just do this line | 20:43 |
| joel | /dev/hdd1 /media/Eigenschaften vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 20:43 |
| joel | not vfat, sorry, ext3 | 20:43 |
| jrib | joel: those options aren't used for ext3 | 20:44 |
| joel | yeah I just realized that | 20:44 |
| alx75775 | in konsole joel? or open fstab with kate and add as last line and save? | 20:44 |
| zero88 | is Ubuntu compatable with the Ipod 512mb Ipod? | 20:44 |
| joel | zero, yes it is, a little bit of effort to get it to work | 20:44 |
| === bluefoxx is now known as AcidBreak | ||
| joel | minimal though ;) | 20:44 |
| zero88 | joel oh really? i thought it would come up as a usb. its a usb ipod | 20:45 |
| joel | alx hold on just a second, you are using ext3 instead of vfat so I'm trying to figure it out | 20:45 |
| Juuso | gtkpod works with ipod | 20:45 |
| joel | zero, you need gtkpod | 20:45 |
| zero88 | care to share what you know with me joel? | 20:45 |
| Juuso | sudo apt-get install gtkpod | 20:45 |
| jrib | alx75775: your error says the drive is mounted. What's the issue? | 20:45 |
| joel | (and I personally use amarok for it) | 20:45 |
| h0ax | Is there a minimal install cd for Ubuntu? | 20:45 |
| GrueTamer | yes | 20:45 |
| jrib | !minimal | h0ax | 20:45 |
| ubotu | h0ax: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | what are the softirq-**** processes? and the IRQ-## ones? I never saw them before | 20:45 |
| joel | jrib, it's permissions that's the problem | 20:45 |
| h0ax | for PPC ? | 20:45 |
| zero88 | juuso is that it? | 20:45 |
| joel | I'm actually having a really similar problem with my external | 20:46 |
| Juuso | zero try | 20:46 |
| Juuso | i dont know | 20:46 |
| joel | mounts fine but permissions are not working at all | 20:46 |
| Juuso | i dont have ipod | 20:46 |
| zero88 | juuso ok | 20:46 |
| jrib | joel, alx75775: you should be able to set permissions with chmod/chown as usual | 20:46 |
| ir4 | Ok i have one more question | 20:46 |
| ir4 | i got my wireless work work | 20:46 |
| joel | chmod directly to the /dev/hdd1 or to the /media/....? | 20:46 |
| ir4 | to work* | 20:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | could they be related to using the rt kernel? | 20:46 |

| luciddream | I've got a couple of startup scripts for mysql and mongrel_cluster that are in /etc/init.d/ and I've linked to them from the rc.X directories but these services aren't starting when I reboot. Is there a log I can look at to see what's going wrong? They start fine if I start them manually from the shell... | 20:47 |
| h0ax | GrueTamer, available for PPC ? | 20:47 |
| GrueTamer | yes | 20:47 |
| joel | jrib: I rarely do it this way so do I just do chmod 777 /media/.... | 20:47 |

| joel | to have full permissions? | 20:47 |
| ir4 | When i click on the network connection icon, it shows connection name as lo what does that mean? | 20:47 |
| jrib | !permissions > joel, (read the private message from ubotu) | 20:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, what freezes? your xserver? can you use the magic-sysrq to get out of it? | 20:47 |
| jrib | !permissions > joel (read the private message from ubotu) | 20:47 |
| jrib | !permissions > alx75775 (read the private message from ubotu) | 20:47 |
| jrib | joel: it depends on the permissions you want | 20:47 |
| joel | why would we have to do this instead of just have it in the fstab? | 20:48 |
| joel | I believe alx and I both want full permission by users | 20:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ir4, that's a loopback device, 127.0.0.1 | 20:48 |
| joel | the thing with mine is that if I completely remove the line from fstab, it mounts with full permissions that I want | 20:48 |
| ir4 | ok well should i change it to eth1 | 20:48 |
| ir4 | or leave it at lo | 20:48 |
| DIL | ir4, is there a selection for eth0 | 20:48 |
| joel | but it creates a new folder every time I reboot to mount to | 20:48 |
| piqoni | seven_six_two: Im new to linux and I dont know what xserver is. | 20:48 |
| ir4 | no | 20:48 |
| ir4 | lo, or eth1 | 20:48 |
| DIL | ir4, is there a selection for eth1 | 20:48 |
| ir4 | yes | 20:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, it's the server that gives you all of the graphics | 20:49 |
| DIL | select it | 20:49 |
| joel | and mine isn't ext3 it is fat32 | 20:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, if you can, you should try to kill your xserver with alt-ctrl-backspace | 20:49 |
| alx75775 | joel thanks so far, ill try to find out how to add this line to fstab, hope it works, brb =) | 20:49 |
| white_eagle | oh, when I run the computer a popup dialog shows up and tells me that the ~/.drmc (or something like that) must have 644 permissions | 20:49 |
| jrib | joel: then you don't chmod it. Set a label if you want. Then it will get assigned the same name every time | 20:49 |
| white_eagle | how can I make that popup go away | 20:49 |
| white_eagle | ? | 20:49 |
| joel | alx wait, that might not work since you have ext3 | 20:49 |
| redwhitewaldo | where can i find a list printers supported/workable in ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| ir4 | ok thats working better now | 20:50 |
| joel | jrib how do I set a label? | 20:50 |
| ir4 | but like how do i tell if its connected | 20:50 |
| white_eagle | !permissions | 20:50 |
| ubotu | 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 | 20:50 |
| ir4 | like windows XP will show u the signal bar? | 20:50 |
| redwhitewaldo | !printers | 20:50 |

| white_eagle | ubotu thanks | 20:50 |
| ubotu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 20:50 |
| ir4 | does liunx show that kind of stuff? | 20:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, if that doesn't work, try to use alt-ctrl-F1 to switch to a terminal and you can use top and your logs to figure out what's going on | 20:50 |
| DIL | ir4, network manger | 20:50 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two>, when I do alt+ctl+backspace it logs off I think | 20:50 |
| tenub | does ubuntu x64 not work with intel chips (e8400)? cause i boot from cd and no matter what I select my monitor goes to sleep after the cd drive spins up | 20:50 |
| ir4 | yes but like does it show a signal bar on the panel | 20:50 |
| joel | tenub try alternative cd | 20:50 |
| jrib | joel: with mtools, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive | 20:50 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> so you mean, I should press those now | 20:50 |
| ir4 | or do i have to click it | 20:50 |
| DIL | ir4, network manager install it | 20:50 |
| DIL | yes | 20:50 |
| piqoni | or when it block | 20:50 |
| jPratt | How can i connect to my Wireless? | 20:51 |
| white_eagle | so | 20:51 |
| piqoni | s | 20:51 |
| tenub | which cd? | 20:51 |
| joel | this was never an issue with Gutsy :( | 20:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, yes. if you can do that, it's not frozen. what is it that is freezing? | 20:51 |
| white_eagle | how can I make that file have 644 permissions | 20:51 |

| ikm | hello all | 20:52 |
| GrueTamer | h0ax: y'welcome | 20:52 |
| k8 | kurwa | 20:52 |
| joel | those commands aren't used with ext3 from what jrib just said, I don't really use ext3 | 20:52 |
| biano | Will it be easy to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 beta to 8.04? | 20:52 |
| joel | so trying to figure it out now | 20:52 |
| k8 | kto tu gada po polsku | 20:52 |
| jrib | alx75775: pastebin your current fstab | 20:52 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> and the computer freezes many times especially when I open synaptic etc | 20:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, look at the logs of the programs that you're using when it freezes. how much memory do you have? | 20:52 |
| DIL | ir4, apt get will install network manager | 20:52 |
| alx75775 | jrib http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62359/ | 20:52 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> 512 MB RAM | 20:52 |
| jrib | alx75775: is the partition in question there? | 20:53 |
| jPratt | How do i Connect to my wireless network? | 20:53 |
| piqoni | I dont know about logs, | 20:53 |
| tenub | blah this channel's too large | 20:53 |
| white_eagle | how can I setup a file to have 644 permissions? | 20:53 |
| cpasley | Does anyone know anything about how to make Ubuntu detect my sound card? Thanks! | 20:53 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> I dont konw about logs | 20:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, the logs are in /var/logs | 20:53 |
| jrib | !who | tenub | 20:53 |
| ubotu | tenub: 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 :) | 20:53 |
| alx75775 | jrib aah forgot to tell u | 20:53 |
| joel | chmod 644 (the file) | 20:53 |
| alx75775 | jrib its hdd1 | 20:53 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> what to do with them? | 20:53 |
| biano | all, will it be easy to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 beta to 8.04? | 20:53 |
| joel | biano, it happens automatically with the updates | 20:53 |
| jrib | alx75775: pastebin the output of 'mount' | 20:53 |
| Flannel | biano: Just regular daily updates, but hardy questions should be asked in #ubuntu+1 while its beta. | 20:53 |
| biano | thanks, I'll go there now | 20:54 |
| Monobi2 | Anyway to boot Ubuntu without a USB or CD ? | 20:54 |
| DIL | tenub, most of teh people are asleep | 20:54 |
| jPratt | Install it | 20:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, you read them. It's hard to know what's freezing or why without them. also, using "top" from a console will let you see if you're running out of memory or something is using all of your cpu which might seem like a freeze sometimes | 20:54 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> I went there, there were many files and folders, which one should I open | 20:54 |
| alx75775 | jrib its in the same pastebin, some lines down: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62359/ | 20:54 |
| danbhfive | Monobi2: what do you have? | 20:54 |
| iositd | so on one pc, when i open up bash terminal, it opens with a white background. On my other pc, it opens with a black background. I'd like to know where the configuration settings are held for this. | 20:54 |
| jPratt | Monob2i, Install it | 20:54 |
| Monobi2 | danbhfive: vista >_> | 20:54 |
| jrib | alx75775: I see it now :) | 20:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, do you have a swap partition? | 20:55 |
| alx75775 | it doesn look like theres a prob, but it is =) | 20:55 |
| danbhfive | Monobi2: I mean, if not USB, and not CD, then through what? | 20:55 |
| danbhfive | Monobi2: just the net? | 20:55 |
| Monobi2 | er, that is my question? | 20:55 |
| jrib | alx75775: you want to add it to fstab and make it mount at /media/Eigenschaften every time? | 20:55 |
| Monobi2 | danbhfive: huh? vista came installed. | 20:55 |
| alx75775 | yeah, would be great jrib | 20:55 |
| jPratt | How do i get the Beryl Package? | 20:55 |
| joel | it's compiz now not beryl | 20:55 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> I dont really remember, I think in the instalation I didnt choose swap, or sth like that, coz I dont know really what swap is | 20:55 |
| alx75775 | jrib its an internal hdd | 20:56 |
| jrib | alx75775: ok, first 'sudo umount /dev/hdd1' | 20:56 |
| joel | and it's installed with Gutsy and Hardy | 20:56 |
| flick | is there any linux utility that i may use to flash a Netgear modem through the ethernet? i think i might have ruined it while uploading a new firmware | 20:56 |
| joel | if not do apt-get install compiz | 20:56 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> might be the problem? | 20:56 |
| alx75775 | jrib ok, | 20:56 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> that one, I mean? swap memory? | 20:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, from a console, type cat /etc/fstab | 20:56 |
| jPratt | Joel, Well How do i get Compiz | 20:56 |
| joel | sudo apt-get install compiz | 20:56 |
| jrib | alx75775: does /media/Eigenschaften still exist? | 20:56 |
| BrainBug | jrib, lol u prob. dont know me anymore ^^but can i ask u something in pm? | 20:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, definitely might be. swap is for when your comp runs out of mem | 20:56 |
| jPratt | What? | 20:56 |
| jrib | BrainBug: sure | 20:57 |
| joel | do that in terminal | 20:57 |
| alx75775 | jrib yes | 20:57 |
| joel | sudo apt-get install compiz | 20:57 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> it showed I think the same stuff when I open partitioner app | 20:57 |
| ikm | i'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 from a CD i have burned myself, i've checked it's integrity and checked my memory that's all fine, CD loads and takes me through my language, location, and keyboard settings, then does some of it's own stuff. Detecting hardware for CD-ROM drive, Scanning CD-ROM, Loading Additional Components and Detecting Network Hardware, after that the whole thing seems to stop and i'm left with a blue screen with a grey bar at the bottom, tho | 20:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, yes, it will. is there a swap partition? | 20:57 |
| radioaktivstorm | hello, is there a reason i am getting "module configuration already contains alias directive" | 20:57 |
| luciddream | I've got startup scripts for mysql and mongrel_cluster that are in /etc/init.d and I've linked to them from the /etc/rc#.d directories but these services aren't starting when I reboot. The services start fine if I manually start them. Is there a log I can look at to see what's going wrong? | 20:57 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> How can I determine that, | 20:58 |
| jacob01234 | i tried to install the nvidia drivers using envy and i get them installed so it prompts me to reboot so i do and everything works good then i just rebboted a min ago and it wont load the driver | 20:58 |
| jrib | alx75775: use 'sudo blkid' to get the uuid for your drive and add the following to your fstab: UUID=XXX /media/Eigenschaften ext3 defaults 0 2 where XXX is the uuid you found from the blkid command | 20:58 |
| joel | then do sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 20:58 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> and How can we discuss In private? how should I register in here? | 20:58 |
| jPratt | It asks for my pasword but wont let me Type it | 20:58 |
| joel | it is letting you type it, just doesn't show anything | 20:58 |
| joel | it's a security thing | 20:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, there will be a line that says something like # /dev/hda4 UUID-################# none swap sw 0 0 | 20:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, sorry I don't pm | 20:59 |
| jPratt | Oh ok, Could put asterisk's | 20:59 |
| joel | after you do those two things you'll have a new set of options in system, preferences it'll be called "advanced desktop effects setting" | 20:59 |
| jPratt | Ok | 20:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, to register, check out /msg nickserv help register | 20:59 |
| joel | jrib can you help me out when you are free? | 20:59 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> ok, ok, no prob, you're doing too much anyway, | 21:00 |
| jPratt | Were at? | 21:00 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> i saw, but there wasnt any swap there | 21:00 |
| jrib | joel: I can try; what's the issue? | 21:00 |
| Veritto | HI, how can i remove some files that I find? I mind: I use, find . -name *.tar | rm -r | 21:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, it's no prob. I like to help when I come in and someone helps me | 21:00 |
| BrainBug | jrib, saw PM ? | 21:00 |
| joel | same mounting issue, I just want to do it through fstab like it was in Gutsy | 21:00 |
| ikm | i'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 from a CD i have burned myself, i've checked it's integrity and checked my memory that's all fine, CD loads and takes me through my language, location, and keyboard settings, then does some of it's own stuff. Detecting hardware for CD-ROM drive, Scanning CD-ROM, Loading Additional Components and Detecting Network Hardware, after that the whole thing seems to stop and i'm left with a blue screen with a grey bar at the bottom, tho | 21:00 |
| Veritto | it's not work | 21:00 |
| joel | here is my line | 21:00 |
| joel | /dev/sdb5/media/BACKUPvfatdefaults,umask=77700 | 21:00 |
| DIL | ikm, wait it out | 21:00 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> yes, you are doing the right thing ;) | 21:01 |
| joel | I want full permissions and it to mount to /media/BACKUP every time | 21:01 |
| jPratt | I have installed it or so says the terminal and I goto system and it has all the same Options | 21:01 |
| ikm | ok DIL | 21:01 |
| SpookyET | I wonder why the gnome system monitor is stupid and resets received/sent every 4GiB | 21:01 |
| jrib | joel: you want umask=000 | 21:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, ok, you need to make a swap partition with your partition manager. you can either start over, or back up the data in a partition that you can resize | 21:01 |
| joel | that's it? | 21:01 |
| jacob01234 | i tried to install the nvidia drivers using envy and i get them installed so it prompts me to reboot so i do and everything works good then i just rebboted a min ago and it wont load the driver | 21:01 |
| joel | (a;slkjgh;pasjf;kajdsfsdf to myself) | 21:01 |
| danbhfive | joel: that line looks like it gives you zero permissions, what jrib said too | 21:01 |
| jrib | joel: umask masks permissions (takes them away) | 21:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, it should be about 1GB or so. | 21:01 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> isnt that a difficult process? | 21:01 |
| joel | so just change the umask =000 | 21:01 |
| joel | and I should reboot with full permissions? | 21:01 |
| joel | jPratt did you install the settings-manager? | 21:02 |
| danbhfive | joel: sudo mount -a might work instead of a reboot | 21:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, thanks. not really, just realize that resizing doesn't always go as planned, so a backup is a good idea. qparted or gparted should do the trick. personally I've never lost data during a partition resizing | 21:02 |
| jPratt | Hmmm? I dont know, But just incase were can i | 21:02 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> because for me it was very difficult to connect to the internet with ubuntu (with certificates and stuff like that, an other guy did it anyway,) and I am afraid of loosing the configuration for that | 21:02 |
| jrib | joel: no need to reboot, just remount that partition | 21:02 |
| joel | in terminal type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 21:03 |
| J-Unit | u no that feature in gutsy that allows u to have diff locations clocks under clock thing...how can i do that in gutsy? | 21:03 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have been asking this question for a while now, is there anyway to control my lcd birghtness via my terminal, the last two kernal updates has broken that possiblity by keys combinations. | 21:03 |
| joel | that's the actual graphical interface install to change the visuals | 21:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, you shouldn't lose any data. just don't resize your / partition | 21:03 |
| [ATM]Nightshift | ls | 21:03 |
| mike___ | Hey guys quick question: the mouse wheel on my microsoft wireless mouse is a bit sensative. Is there any xorg config options that I could change to turn down the sensativity? | 21:03 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> but I cannot do it, can you tell me a link where it is described every step of the process | 21:03 |
| J-Unit | u no that feature in hardy that allows u to have diff locations clocks under clock thing...how can i do that in gutsy?*** | 21:03 |
| piqoni | but you say that the data should be about 1 gb, | 21:03 |
| jrib | alx75775: still with me? | 21:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, there are instructions in those programs. a quick google search will also give you the docs | 21:03 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> but you say that the data should be about 1 gb, | 21:04 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> I have more. | 21:04 |
| jPratt | It says invalid command: compizconfig-settings-manager | 21:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, gparted is very reliable and is graphical so it's not hard to use. yeah. 1GB. you have more than 1GB of free space? | 21:04 |
| olpcsyd | #olpc-support-gang | 21:04 |
| jacob01234 | problem with nvidia video card, the drivers keep failing to laod | 21:05 |
| ali1234 | mike___: i have the same problem. unfortunately it's a digital control | 21:05 |
| jabba_ | hallo | 21:05 |
| joel | did you do sudo apt-get ....? | 21:05 |
| iositd | !envy | jacob01234 | 21:05 |
| ubotu | jacob01234: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 21:05 |
| piqoni | <Seven_Six_Two> oh yes, I missunderstand you, I though that was the amount that would be survived | 21:05 |
| Veritto | anbody can help me | 21:05 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have been asking this question for a while now, is there anyway to control my lcd birghtness via my terminal, the last two kernal updates has broken that possiblity by keys combinations. | 21:05 |
| Veritto | ? | 21:05 |
| piqoni | so gparted is the app? right? | 21:05 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two> so gparted is the app? right? | 21:05 |
| jPratt | it says invalid command: | 21:06 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two: can I get it from synaptic? right? | 21:06 |
| janet | hello I am new to Ubuntu and need a bit of help | 21:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, that's how much you need to shrink one of your current partitions by. yes. gparted or qtparted which is what I use | 21:06 |
| jPratt | It says invalid command: compizconfig-settings-manager** | 21:06 |
| Veritto | HI, how can i remove some files that I find? I mind: I use, find . -name *.tar | rm -r | 21:06 |
| joel | jPratt, go to synatpic package manager, search for compiz and then look for the compizconfig-settings-manager int here | 21:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, they should both be available, although I only know that qtparted is for sure because I have it installed | 21:06 |
| joel | jPratt I'll be back in just a minute | 21:07 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two: So this software is just for separating the drives, later what should I do about the SWAP thing??? | 21:07 |
| janet | I downloaded applications easily yesterday but today whenever I try I get a message saying software not authenticated. It does it for every software I try to install. | 21:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, it can resize partitions, and make new ones, and format them for you | 21:07 |
| jrib | Veritto: see the -delete or -exec switches in 'man find', pipe the output of find to xargs | 21:07 |
| iositd | janet, sudo aptitude update <== should fix that for you | 21:07 |
| jrib | Veritto: there should be an "or" after that comma | 21:07 |
| ikm | i'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 from a CD i have burned myself, i've checked it's integrity and checked my memory that's all fine, CD loads and takes me through my language, location, and keyboard settings, then does some of it's own stuff. Detecting hardware for CD-ROM drive, Scanning CD-ROM, Loading Additional Components and Detecting Network Hardware, after that the whole thing seems to stop and i'm left with a blue screen with a grey bar at the bottom, tho | 21:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, nothing is applied until the end | 21:08 |
| janet | iositd, what do I need to do please? | 21:08 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two: aha, ok great,I dont know, I will try, | 21:08 |
| iositd | janet, type that command in a terminal. | 21:08 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two: you helped me too much | 21:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, there is a command to turn the swap on as well, but I don't remember what it is...anyone else? <----------- | 21:08 |
| janet | isositd, sorry, how do I do that? | 21:08 |
| iositd | janet, applications -> accessoires -> terminal ... then type ==> sudo aptitude update <== and hit enter. type your password, hit enter again. That should fix it. | 21:09 |
| Max_- | Hi! How can I see what eats up all my RAM? .. I'm trying top, but the thing that takes the most of it shows like 3.8 % and it's Xorg.. that's impossible. | 21:09 |
| ikm | need help plzz,,,, | 21:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, no problem. good luck | 21:10 |
| ikm | after that the whole thing seems to stop and i'm left with a blue screen with a grey bar at the bottom, though i can write stuff in the grey bar, i would not have a clue what to type in, i left it all night and woke up to the same screen so it's not just taking ages, | 21:10 |
| pschorf2 | hello, all | 21:10 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Max_-, < to go left and > to go right | 21:11 |
| jPratt | Joel, I got it | 21:11 |
| joel | jrib that fixed it :) thanks a lot | 21:11 |
| danand__ | Max_- try htop | 21:11 |
| jrib | joel: no problem | 21:11 |
| joel | you got it going jPratt? | 21:11 |
| janet | iositd, thanks, I will try that | 21:11 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two: sorry for bothering, but you're saying that might be a command that can SIMPLIFY this process, I mean, only writing that and the problem might be resolved directly???? | 21:11 |
| smithey93 | ikm: its ok, just leave it for a bit, i had that problem once you just gotta eave it for a while and itworks eventualy | 21:11 |
| joel | jrib one other thing that I'm having is when I delete it says it can't send it to the trash and must immediately delete it | 21:11 |
| jPratt | Joel, I guess not because that option is still not there | 21:11 |
| jrib | joel: don't know about that | 21:11 |
| joel | in system, preferences there is no advanced desktop settings? | 21:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, no, but there is a command to get your system to start using the new swap partition | 21:11 |
| ikm | oh really smithey93? | 21:12 |
| jPratt | Joel, found it thanks for helping | 21:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | piqoni, I think it's swapon | 21:12 |
| eax | Kan anyone tell me hot to put my network card in Promiscuos mode and back again? | 21:12 |

| MrMorkel | Hello does anybody know how i can recover a passphrase from a ssh key_file? | 21:12 |
| joel | Morkel, that's going to be hard | 21:12 |
| smithey93 | ikm: yea, i was trying to install it on my laptop and i just walked away, left it for a bit, and it worked | 21:12 |
| lucien | whit which command can i update my distri? i already have 6.10 oO | 21:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | eax, that's outlined in the ifconfig docs. try "man ifconfig" | 21:12 |
| ikm | i wait whole night :( nothing happend | 21:13 |
| ikm | :( | 21:13 |
| joel | lucien, does 6.10 have update manager? | 21:13 |
| jrib | MrMorkel: if you could do that, then that would pretty much defeat its purpose :) | 21:13 |
| lucien | yes | 21:13 |
| MrMorkel | joel: i now its a easy word, do you know a programm for a dictonary attack? | 21:13 |
| eax | Seven_Six_Two: In terminal | 21:13 |
| piqoni | Seven_Six_Two: anyway it is going to be difficult to understand, anyway, thnx a lot. see you around. bye | 21:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | eax, yes | 21:13 |
| lucien | joel yes | 21:13 |
| Max_- | Seven_Six_Two, jrib: okay, thanks... it works, but that's still weird that my 2GB or ram are gone while all that runs are a few apps ... amarok, evolution, pidgin, skype, kvirc... it says Xorg 2 times takes 3.7% each and nautilus 2.6% .. | 21:13 |
| joel | lucien: for me it told me that it recommended upgrading and I just clicked it | 21:13 |
| Max_- | *of ram* | 21:13 |
| jrib | Max_-: try 'free -m' in a shell | 21:13 |

| eisenhower | how can i figure out what version of ubuntu i'm running? like 64 bit or 32? | 21:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Max_-, does it say you have just a little bit left? | 21:15 |
| jrib | Max_-: what does the "-/+ buffers/cache" line say you have free? | 21:15 |
| Max_- | Seven_Six_Two: okay... maybe, but the other day it was using a part of my swap space.. that probably means it really was full | 21:15 |
| Max_- | Seven_Six_Two: yes.. I actually have 156 mb left | 21:15 |
| eax | Seven_Six_Two: thanks :) Is it possible for for an example make a new interface in monitor mode and then switch to that when I need it? | 21:15 |
| Max_- | oh wait... jrib does that mean that the amount in that line is not really used? | 21:16 |

| joel | here lucien just follow these instructions: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn.html | 21:17 |
| jrib | Max_-: yeah, it takes into account what Seven_Six_Two was saying. Unused ram is, well, useless. So linux tries to be smart and uses it. If some app needs it, it will free it up | 21:17 |

| Max_- | and that's really not good for the HD | 21:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | eax, yeah, try a different config file, and you can load it when you need it | 21:18 |
| lucien | aah it works!!! thx joel :) | 21:18 |
| eax | Seven_Six_Two: What do you mean by snoop? I'm testing my own wireless.. | 21:18 |
| joel | NewMonarch, it takes a little while to get into the repos unless you have a lot of extra repos in your sources | 21:18 |
| joel | sure thing lucine, just make sure to upgrade one step at a time | 21:18 |
| eax | Seven_Six_Two: Any documentation on that? :) | 21:18 |
| joel | don't go from 6.10 to 7.10 without doing 7.04 first | 21:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | eax, whether legal or not, it's it's snooping. I'm sure there is. have you been through all of the ifconfig man pages, the info pages and googled what you want to do? | 21:19 |

| joel | smithey, if you are doing it legally download acidrip from repo it's easy to use | 21:20 |
| eax | Seven_Six_Two: No not yet, as I'm not certain what exactly what I'm looking for:) But Yes I want to snoop my own network. | 21:20 |
| joel | NewMonarch: then you'll have to get the source or rpm and install it that way | 21:20 |

| Seven_Six_Two | dummies_for_dumm, the advantage of using jack is that you can use the output of one prog as the input for another | 21:34 |
| joel | then do "killall compiz" to close compiz then do "compiz" to start it back up | 21:34 |
| dummies_for_dumm | Seven_Six_Two: is alsa the cause behind why when I have some apps open, like TeamSpeak, others (like Kaffeine) can't play audio? | 21:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dummies_for_dumm, but for example, skype will only output to alsa, so you can't use that output as an input for a jack mixer to record and change it | 21:35 |

| brunner | I mean, it's just Darwin... shouldn't be too unfriendly to linux =] | 21:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dummies_for_dumm, and the docs are rather lacking | 21:38 |
| dummies_for_dumm | brunner: my bad, you said "unlock" thought you said "open" like to add ringtones | 21:39 |
| ryanzec | joel:I don't know i think so. I mean when i move my window i get the effect that compiz done so i imagine it is running. | 21:39 |

| Strang3love | I am having some problems with a dependency issue. I run sudo apt-get -f install and it says that it cant overwrite one package because it is contained in another. it ultimately fails | 21:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dotech, 2 monitors and a tv | 21:45 |
| dummies_for_dumm | Seven_Six_Two: keep forgetting to type you nick, hehe. okay thanks. This is freenode server right? | 21:45 |

| DrNoboto | question of the day: how would one install a package manager using only tools in /bin, i.e. /usr is empty.....? | 21:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mrj, not really. I know what it is, but I don't use wireless | 21:46 |
| CloudFX | charles|64: alright try this: sudo apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin | 21:46 |
| dotech | Seven_Six_Two: i have dual nvidia cards, just not sure what the easiest route to happiness is | 21:46 |
| dotech | there seems to be a handful of ways to do this | 21:46 |
| slam | kapios elinas edo? | 21:46 |
| joel | dotech: do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 21:46 |
| smithey93 | joel: im installing dvd shrink now - hoping for the best lol | 21:46 |
| fizk | Does anyone know what a "dummy package" is? | 21:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dotech, I do it with one. I have a 6800gtoc | 21:46 |
| dotech | joel: nope | 21:46 |
| joel | dotech: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 21:47 |
| alan_m | um, not sure what language that is guys, can someone who knows point slam to the right place? | 21:47 |
| joel | then in terminal type "nvidia-settings" and you'll be good to go | 21:47 |
| fizk | "linux-headers-686 - Upgrade dummy package. Can be removed" | 21:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dotech, yeah. joel's got it right. I use the restricted driver too | 21:47 |
| Strang3love | I am having some problems with a dependency issue. can anyone help? | 21:47 |
| bluefoxx__ | what does "unregistered torrent pass" mean? its all my torrent downloader is saying | 21:47 |
| unop_ | DrNoboto, what do you mean /usr is empty? how did it come to be like that? | 21:47 |
| joel | Strang: give us more details please, also try a little google work | 21:47 |
| dotech | Seven_Six_Two: ok, i'm installing the app joel suggested | 21:47 |
| AdrianStrays | I am trying to install ndiswrapper, can anyone help me? | 21:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | joel: dotech actually if he wants to save any settings he does in nvidia settings, he''ll need to run gksudo nvidia-settings | 21:48 |
| joel | Adrian: what are you having problems with? | 21:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bluefoxx, it means the tracker is private, and you have to register on the tracker site to use it. That's not an Ubuntu question though | 21:48 |

| Seven_Six_Two | IndyGunFreak, yes, good point. note that dotech | 21:48 |
| GIn | AdrianStrays: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 21:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'll never understand what possesses people do that, weather they read the topic or not | 21:49 |
| DrNoboto | unop_: as to how said corruption came to be in the first place, i have no idea | 21:49 |
| alan_m | IndyGunFreak, me either but hey im just a lonely local beginner team member :P | 21:49 |
| DrNoboto | i rebooted to a string of "command not found" s and got dumped to the console | 21:49 |

| alan_m | AdrianStrays, thanks for following the directions, much appreciated :D | 21:50 |
| joel | Mehal: what kind of video card? | 21:50 |
| Mehal | intel 945gm | 21:50 |
| === pschorf is now known as pschorf2 | ||
| AdrianStrays | I tried installing through synaptic, but it refused to recognize my ubuntu installation disk | 21:50 |
| joel | I don't use intel video cards at all, sorry | 21:50 |
| bluefoxx | ok, whats the point of having letters for keyboard shortcuts underlined if i cant use them? EG the shutdown menu 'reboot' has r underlined for hit r to reboot but it doesnt do anything | 21:50 |
| alan_m | Mehal, i have the same exact card, maybe when they get you help....it might help me ;D | 21:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | AdrianStrays: you don't need an installation disk to install from synaptic. | 21:50 |
| steven__ | I have tried everything I possibly can, I cannot get my "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" to work with Edgy 6.10... it's perfect with Gutsy 7.10... any advice? | 21:50 |
| AdrianStrays | It asked me for one | 21:51 |
| smithey93 | how can i tell what program is useing my cd drive? | 21:51 |
| AdrianStrays | I said please insert yadada into /cdroom/ | 21:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | AdrianStrays: open synaptic, and disable the "CD" from your repositories | 21:51 |
| AdrianStrays | It | 21:51 |
| un0p | DrNoboto, without the /usr properly in place a lot of the tools are simply going to fail .. if fsck couldnt fully recover the volume, the only thing to do is probably reinstall or restore from backup | 21:51 |
| joel | smithey: are you having problems having it eject? | 21:51 |
| DrNoboto | mmm | 21:51 |
| === steven__ is now known as NyCGuY | ||
| DrNoboto | i don't like that | 21:51 |

| joel | dotech: no problem | 21:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | AdrianStrays: open synaptic, click Settings/Repositories, then at the bottom, uncheck CD, and make sure the boxes are all checked on the first tab. | 21:52 |
| joel | smithey: I get that sometimes too and can never figure it out so I reboot (lazy way to fix it ;) ) | 21:52 |
| AdrianStrays | Okay | 21:52 |
| smithey93 | joel: nicely done (ctrl + alt + backspace tbh) | 21:52 |
| joel | yeah that's what I meant ;) reboot in linux usually just comes down to that ;) | 21:53 |

| N3WFI3 | is there anyway to make the email client check for emails on startup? | 21:53 |

| maarek_ | how do I unpackage a ZIP file? | 21:53 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, which one are you using? | 21:54 |
| N3WFI3 | evolution | 21:54 |
| joel | ryan: that is really strange, I just did this yesterday for my roomates girlfriend, what I did: first make sure that the command is in the line of compiz, add "compiz" to sessions and then "reboot" ;) | 21:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | maarek_: just double clcik it, i think ark will handle it. | 21:54 |
| smithey93 | maarek_: just right hand click and click extact archive or open it in file roller | 21:54 |
| maarek_ | okay, thanks guys, I'll try that | 21:54 |
| smithey93 | maarek_: go for it | 21:54 |
| N3WFI3 | i'm using the one bundled with ubuntu | 21:55 |
| danand__ | maarek_ - or type unzip file.zip in a terminal :) | 21:55 |

| julio_neto | Guys! My MP4 player have 1 GB of space. I cleaned it, but now it shows only 41 Mb of free space! Can you help me??? | 21:55 |
| smithey93 | joel: thanks, it appears 2 be working now | 21:55 |
| joel | julio: you probably didn't actually get the files off of there at all, go to the actual mount point and see where the space is being used | 21:55 |
| joel | sure thing smithey | 21:55 |
| smithey93 | julio_neto: enable hidden files in natalius (like computer) by going veiw, then hidden files, then delete a folder like .trash or something like that | 21:56 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, yeah, i know of a few applets that can do that, is that what your looking for? or are you looking for an actual setting in evolution itself? | 21:56 |
| ryanzec | joel you say make soure the command is in the line of compiz, how do i do that? | 21:56 |
| AdrianStrays | Where are wireless drivers usually stored in Vista? | 21:56 |
| julio_neto | smithey93, good pointed! i'll see it | 21:56 |
| N3WFI3 | well if evolution can do it by itself it would be cool | 21:56 |
| N3WFI3 | i thought i read somewhere that it cant check at startup | 21:57 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, let me see what I can dig out for you, i think its called mail-notifier simply in synaptic, not positive so ill brb dont go anywhere. | 21:57 |
| FloodBot2 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 21:57 |

| Enix | hello all, trying to burn ubuntu 7 that is .iso via nero and i keep getting nero error 'Not a valid nero disc image file' what is going on? trying to make a live cd (boot cd). TIA | 21:58 |
| N3WFI3 | cool | 21:58 |
| joel | julio: you saw where the space is being used, delete it, and if it's in .trash (which is a hidden folder) delete it from there to permanently delete it | 21:58 |
| Exteris | Enix, try imgburn, http://imgburn.com | 21:58 |
| alx75775 | waaahhh how is this possible | 21:58 |
| alx75775 | /media$ dir | 21:58 |
| alx75775 | bekloppt cdrom0 floppy0 cdrom cdrom1 | 21:58 |
| alx75775 | /media$ cd /bekloppt | 21:58 |
| alx75775 | bash: cd: /Eigenschaften: No such file or directory | 21:58 |
| alx75775 | this makes no sense!!!!!!!!!! | 21:58 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, its simply called evolution-plugins | 21:59 |
| joel | Enix: where did you get the iso from? | 21:59 |
| Enix | i did, got similar error, also tried magicISO and power ISO | 21:59 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, just grab that and you will have it :D | 21:59 |
| N3WFI3 | ok i will search it | 21:59 |
| Exteris | alx75775, perhaps without the / | 21:59 |
| N3WFI3 | i just started using ubuntu today man its pretty sweet :) | 21:59 |
| alx75775 | aah | 21:59 |
| Enix | torrent, the one from official website was same, *.iso | 21:59 |
| N3WFI3 | everything is better | 21:59 |
| alx75775 | thx exteris | 21:59 |
| Exteris | Enix, try downloading the iso again, and verifyng it | 21:59 |
| alx75775 | i am so dumb^ | 21:59 |
| joel | yeah that would be my suggestions too | 22:00 |
| NyCGuY | I have tried everything I possibly can, I cannot get my "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" to work with Edgy 6.10... it's perfect with Gutsy 7.10... any advice? | 22:00 |
| alan_m | n3wfI3, im glad you like it, ive been using it for close to 3 years now :) | 22:00 |
| AdrianStrays | Where are the wireless drivers normally stored in vista? | 22:00 |
| redtide | quick question...how do you log in as root so i don't have to keep typing sudo for everything? | 22:00 |
| danand__ | alx75775 - is /bekloppt a symlink to /Eigenschaften ? | 22:00 |
| N3WFI3 | the text rendering is top notch | 22:00 |
| Mehal | is there anyone here that knows how to deal with intel graphics cards? | 22:00 |
| N3WFI3 | and gui and programs do anything u need haha | 22:00 |
| Enix | how would i verify, d-loading from officail mirror now, ultra-slow, expect same results | 22:00 |
| smithey93 | joel: 10% encording allready and ive just started less then a min ago, it must love my duel core 6400+/4gig ram :) | 22:00 |

| joel | Enix: how fast is your connection? | 22:01 |
| julio_neto | tks all you! | 22:01 |
| smithey93 | julio_neto: cool, was it the .trash folder? | 22:01 |
| alan_m | !root | redtide | 22:01 |
| ubotu | redtide: 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 | 22:01 |

| smithey93 | joel: i love dvd shrink, i forgot 2 try it on wine, i missed it when i moved from virus-os | 22:02 |
| bulio| | I want to reformat my 80GB drive, and partition it so Ubuntu gets 15GB, and the remainder is dedicated to storage | 22:02 |
| julio_neto | smithey93, no | 22:03 |
| bulio| | is it best to partition the 65GB left as /home? | 22:03 |
| joel | dotech: I'm not sure if twinview can do 3 monitors, I've never used 3 monitors before....too much for me | 22:03 |
| bulio| | or partition it completely separate, and mount the partition in fstab | 22:03 |
| smithey93 | julio_neto: oh, what was it? | 22:03 |
| dotech | joel: alright, i'll mess around with this, thanks | 22:03 |
| bulio| | also, how much space should a ubuntu server install have? | 22:03 |
| bulio| | I just want LAMP for home stuff, and GNUMP3D | 22:03 |
| bulio| | is 15GB too much, or enough? | 22:04 |
| bubu1uk | bulio| dependes if u need/want that much for home. both could be alright. dependes on your needs | 22:04 |
| GIn | bulio|: 15 is more than enough | 22:04 |
| bubu1uk | bulio| yes, it is enough. | 22:04 |
| bulio| | GIn: could I go down to 10? | 22:04 |
| Qu3n71N | hi all | 22:04 |
| GIn | bulio|: yes | 22:04 |
| bulio| | and is /home a good idea, or make a storage partition? | 22:04 |
| alan_m | hello Qu3n71N | 22:04 |
| bubu1uk | bulio| 7 would be ok. | 22:04 |
| simplexio | bulio|: depends alot what you plan to do | 22:04 |
| larsx2 | yo | 22:04 |
| Qu3n71N | iam here for first time | 22:05 |
| bulio| | simplexio: well, all the server acts as is a NAS | 22:05 |
| bubu1uk | bulio| /home or storage. it dependes on your needs. both are ok. | 22:05 |
| GIn | bulio|: if it is fr a LAMP server, I would make a partition for /var instead | 22:05 |
| bulio| | bubu1uk: if Ubuntu crashes or something, will my /home be recoverable? | 22:05 |
| NyCGuY | I have tried everything I possibly can, I cannot get my "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller" to work with Edgy 6.10... it's perfect with Gutsy 7.10... any advice? | 22:05 |
| simplexio | bulio|: minimal server with only needed stuff easily lives in 15G | 22:05 |
| alan_m | Qu3n71N, what can we help you with today? | 22:05 |
| GIn | bulio|: but a /home will do too. | 22:05 |
| larsx2 | i have only one question about Load cycle count on gutsy anyone can help? | 22:05 |
| bulio| | I guess 10GB for Ubuntu Server, and 70GB for /home | 22:06 |
| bulio| | then put all my storage in there | 22:06 |
| N3WFI3 | nope | 22:06 |
| bulio| | as long as I can recover the data if ubuntu crashes | 22:06 |
| simplexio | bulio|: thats good idea | 22:06 |
| N3WFI3 | i dont think the plugin checks at startup | 22:06 |
| bulio| | but /home can be recovered just as easily as a separate storage partition? | 22:06 |
| larsx2 | anyone? | 22:06 |
| simplexio | bulio|: just remeber that gloval /tmp isnt mentioned for big tmp data :) like i did | 22:06 |
| bulio| | mounted under /mnt/storage say? | 22:06 |
| alan_m | n3wfI3, sorry...i thought it did. | 22:07 |

| N3WFI3 | lol | 22:07 |

| Strang3love | i am having some dependency issues can someone help? http://pastebin.com/d79100034 | 22:08 |
| bubu1uk | bulio| if / partition is separate then /home then you can recover easily. | 22:08 |
| simplexio | bulio|: so if you dont plan to use big databses or big www-pages then 10G for / is enougth | 22:08 |
| bulio| | simplexio: perfect, thanks | 22:08 |
| simplexio | bulio|: and if you notice that /var or another directory starts to eat too much space, its just adding one hd more and moving dir to it and mounting it on /whatever | 22:09 |
| larsx2 | i have only one question about Load cycle count on gutsy anyone can help? | 22:09 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, it should have been when you first set up evolution, i just found that setting, its deep within the preferences :D | 22:09 |
| bulio| | simplexio: is that likely to happen? Because i don't want to partition 10GB, have lots of data on the other 70GB, then have to lose stuff | 22:10 |
| N3WFI3 | really? lol | 22:10 |
| N3WFI3 | i will have a look | 22:10 |
| alan_m | n3wfI3, yup :) | 22:10 |
| simplexio | bulio|: ? | 22:10 |

| bubu1uk | redwhitewaldo: yes, i don't think either, i think canon cameras work only in PTP mode. therefore you won't see it as usb drive on your desktop. but it should pop up with "what you wanna do" if you connect. | 22:36 |
| joel_ | what file extension do i have to have and where do i put a startup script | 22:36 |

| tyler-_ | hey guys, is there a way to adjust system volume in ubuntu? The volume when I had windows on this laptop was much higher than it is on Ubuntu | 22:50 |
| ethan961 | MeatGrinder: it should be installed by deafult in ubuntu | 22:50 |
| joel | tyler: download alsamixergui and it will give you more control over volume | 22:50 |
| MasterMel | iGama: could you please explain what kind of command i need to type in terminal to do that? | 22:50 |
| iGama | it is | 22:50 |
| tyler-_ | joel: thankee | 22:50 |
| iGama | MasterMel, ok | 22:50 |
| MeatGrinder | ethan961, ok i see it is there, guess I just don't know how to use it :) | 22:50 |
| iGama | do this : gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:50 |
| joel | the command is /usr/bin/emerald --replace | 22:51 |
| sluimers | hello | 22:51 |

| iGama | just add before "1024x768" , save, reboot | 22:51 |
| sluimers | I mean my USB netwrok adapter | 22:51 |
| MeatGrinder | ethan961, does file-roller work in terminal only? | 22:51 |
| sluimers | network | 22:52 |

| Armadillio | anybody else having problems with updating on 8.04 either through a wireless connection or a ethernet connection? | 22:52 |
| ompaul | Ax-Ax, so go to the top right hand corner of the screen and right click on the clock choose "adjust date and time" make sure you choose your time zone choose choose to keep it in sync with internet servers then add pool.ntp.org to the list - if you can't get to one you will get to another beats if your local one looses its internet connection | 22:52 |
| jk2 | meh scrollkeeper is shit... I just commented it the stupid cron.monthly entry... quite frustrating they could have at least niced the bloody thing not to use all the cpu | 22:52 |

| MeatGrinder | iGama, ah, it's called archive manager, I see. yeah i'm just trying to right click on file in Nautilus and compress like I can in windows.. | 22:53 |
| smithey93 | is there some sort of a graphical manager for compiz where u tick the boxs for the effects? | 22:53 |
| MeatGrinder | smithey93, I think Emerald will allow you to do that | 22:53 |
| iGama | smithey93, joel already told you that | 22:53 |
| joel | smithey: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:53 |

| iGama | brainiac8008, its all in memory | 22:56 |
| joel | brainiac: it's only in RAM, can't do anything but that | 22:56 |
| iGama | good night all | 22:57 |
| pzn | Hi! I have a partition hda3 that is FAT32, and it is automatically mounted by gutsy. how to configure it not to mount hda3? | 22:57 |
| brainiac8008 | joel, i know but other distros can't do that. is there something special that ubuntu has to do that? | 22:57 |
| joel | it's just the live aspect, you can do it with knoppix also | 22:57 |
| flavio_ | how can I remove all panels from dekstop (gnome) | 22:57 |
| ries_ | come on Joel now it is suddenly my fault - how can I know what skype means with 'Sound device missing and by the way it keeps telling me the logging in failed - is there a separate chat space for skype-related problems perhaps? | 22:58 |
| joel | pzn: sudo gedit /etc/fstab, look for your partition, edit the second thing in the row (probably like /media/hda3) to mount wherever you want it to mount | 22:58 |
| brainiac8008 | joel, so why do i have around 800 or 850 mb of ram while running the livecd if i really have 2 gb? | 22:58 |
| joel | ries: if you are going to get rude I really don't have much else to offer, sorry | 22:58 |
| commonglass | question: is there a live CD/DVD that supports wifi (w/ lots of drivers), movie watching (w/ lots of codecs), and mIRC? | 22:58 |
| Flotto | what can i do if my dhclient dont want to work after recovering a backup? | 22:59 |
| joel | brainiac: actually not sure, if you type "top" in a terminal see what it shows for memory and such | 22:59 |
| bubu1uk | commonglass: try mint. maybe that one? | 22:59 |
| joel | commonglass: not that I know of for that much stuff....mint might do it but unlikely | 22:59 |
| brainiac8008 | joel, actually not on livecd right now lol. will do when i get the chance | 22:59 |
| commonglass | bubu1uk: Mint? Is there a website for that? | 22:59 |

| lUnchbOxXx | Hey everyone, I'm currently having trouble with setting up a samba share, can anyone assist? | 23:00 |
| mariobro | it says there is 1 broken package, how do i fix this? | 23:00 |
| Pici | flavio_: right click on a panel> delete this panel | 23:00 |
| atlef | commonglass: linuxmint.com | 23:00 |
| bubu1uk | commonglass: it's linux distro, search on google, there is indeed | 23:00 |
| Pici | !mint | 23:00 |

| ries_ | i am helping u to be more helpful with absolute beginners - please always start at the very beginning when you explain something and imagine that others may face a flight of stairs where you only see one step | 23:01 |
| pzn | joel: done! thanks! I tought gnome-volume-manager was mounting it... but that was not. inserted noauto in the options and it is done! | 23:01 |
| bobgill | how can I see my dvd drive info in terminal? I can't find it in /proc | 23:01 |
| flavio_ | Pici, I can't cause its the last panel left on screen | 23:01 |
| flavio_ | I want to remove all panels from screen | 23:01 |
| joel | ries: you need to get comfortable with google, you can't expect people explain every single minor step throughout the process | 23:01 |
| commonglass | bubu1uk: Thanks! I'll take a look at it! In case things don't work out, is there another live cd/dvd that you'd recommend for my purpose as well? | 23:02 |
| Pici | flavio_: I guess you might be able to do it manually from gconf-editor then. | 23:02 |

| Xubuntu | anybody? | 23:10 |
| Slart | cYmen: in the file /etc/apache/sites-enabled/000-default I have a couple of lines describing the webdav folder | 23:10 |
| atlef | !patience | Xubuntu: | 23:10 |
| ubotu | Xubuntu:: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | flavio_: you removed all of them? | 23:10 |
| cYmen | Slart: the repository works i just checked in a dummy file... | 23:10 |
| flavio_ | IndyGunFreak, yes | 23:10 |
| Xubuntu | oh | 23:10 |
| Xubuntu | alright | 23:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | what provoked you to do that? | 23:10 |
| Slart | cYmen: ok. lets skip to the client part | 23:10 |
| brainiac8008 | flavio_: i thought you had 1 panel in the first place and you wanted to get rid of it | 23:10 |
| flavio_ | I use avant now, thats why | 23:11 |
| JessMeister | I am trying to install xubuntu on a compaq presario 1675. It freezes at Starting common unix printing cupsd. The Bios are as updated as they can get and still fall behind the cutoff date of 2000 (1999) | 23:11 |
| atlef | Xubuntu: people will answer if they know | 23:11 |
| flavio_ | brainiac8008, I need to add a panel (sometimes) to get some tools | 23:11 |
| Flamekebab | It would seem one of my partitions has suddenly vanished. It was a JFS system and is now showing up as an empty ext2 partition. Any ideas? | 23:11 |
| Slart | cYmen: I use "Bookmark Sync and Sort" 1.0.7 | 23:11 |
| Xubuntu | ok atlef | 23:11 |
| cYmen | Slart: i use bookmarks synchronizer which shipped with ubuntu | 23:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | flavio_: your'e gonna have fun w/ that one, cuz i have no idea. | 23:11 |
| atlef | Xubuntu: just hang around, and maybe repeat the question in a while | 23:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | never saw someone do something that braindead before | 23:12 |
| Slart | cYmen: look in you addons dialog.. the plugin should be there | 23:12 |
| flavio_ | hmmm | 23:12 |
| brainiac8008 | flavio_: u could run gnome-panel | 23:12 |
| cYmen | Slart: yes it s there | 23:12 |
| flavio_ | brainiac8008, you are genius | 23:12 |
| flavio_ | Thank you | 23:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | yeah, thats it. | 23:12 |
| cYmen | Slart: do you want me to get the one you mentioned instead? | 23:12 |
| ries_ | sorry joel do you mean that google knows what my computer has installed or not? I hope to run a search for possible sound programmes but if there are hundreds then that will take lots of time - if there are a few then I could check relatively easily - remember Skype itself has been installed fine, and quite possibly with your help - thanx | 23:12 |
| Xubuntu | ok | 23:12 |
| brainiac8008 | flavio: no prob | 23:12 |
| Slart | cYmen: is it the same plugin? what is it called? | 23:12 |
| cYmen | Slart: bookmarks synchronizer | 23:13 |

| bubu1uk | xubuntu: or is your DVD/CD drive working ok? | 23:13 |
| joel | ries: possible sound programs for what? I'm confused on what you need, is your sound working or not? if it isn't you need to install drivers which is a bit hard and at your level might be tedious (for you and those helping you) | 23:13 |

| ries_ | i believe I have what you call drivers but then again.. if nobody tells me how to check if I do, I can't be sure | 23:14 |
| Flamekebab | Any suggestions what the problem is if a partition is suddenly not showing up as it should on boot up? Corrupt partition table? | 23:15 |
| Flamekebab | Trying to diagnose the problem | 23:15 |

| Sponty | anybody? lol | 23:15 |
| johnsky | I'm getting the distro-upgrade... but one thing that perturbs me is it has to ?remove package open arena? | 23:15 |
| brainiac8008 | sponty: r u running ubuntu or kubuntu | 23:16 |
| Xubuntu | having problems with installing ubuntu input/output error | 23:16 |
| johnsky | Why would it have to remove open arena to perform the distribution upgrade? | 23:16 |
| Slart | cYmen: hmm.. not a lot of info on that plugin.. so I wouldn't really know where to start | 23:16 |
| Xubuntu | ?? | 23:16 |
| ries_ | as said before, i think, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't - so I figure that I must have some - and no external speakers here | 23:16 |
| Slart | cYmen: apart from the pretty obvious stuff such as "is the hostname correct", "is the username correct", "can the client resolve the hostname" etc | 23:17 |
| negge | johnsky sometimes some installed packages aren't supported/needed after a distro upgrade | 23:17 |
| Xubuntu | The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: | 23:17 |

| negge | Xubuntu sounds like you have a faulty CD | 23:17 |
| Xubuntu | [Errno 5] Input/output error | 23:17 |
| brainiac8008 | Sponty, check in the synaptic package manager for kde | 23:17 |
| brainiac8008 | sponty, it should be there | 23:17 |
| johnsky | Does anyone know if there is a version of open arena that will be compatible with the new distro then? | 23:18 |
| Xubuntu | if so why wud it install some wen i try on other system | 23:18 |
| Sponty | synaptic will tell me the location in my file system where KDE 4 is installed to? | 23:18 |
| bubu1uk | Xubuntu: read my post above. i addressed it to xubuntu (lowercase X) | 23:18 |
| joel | ries: with a remote connect I might be able to help, I probably won't be able to through text, you just aren't at a level to understand what needs to be done | 23:18 |
| Symmetria | ummm ompaul? | 23:18 |
| johnsky | Or is it just that synaptic has a different version on file, and I should get that one | 23:18 |
| atlef | Xubuntu: have you googled the error? http://tinyurl.com/524sh8 | 23:18 |
| joel | remote connect is for me to control your computer so I can install the stuff | 23:18 |
| Symmetria | you made the bot say something to me in spanish earlier I saw on scroll back, I have absolutely no idea what it said however | 23:18 |
| Slart | cYmen: this is the one I'm using.. it works for me.. perhaps you can use it to check the server setup.. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2367 | 23:18 |
| Symmetria | since I dont speak that language | 23:18 |

| Cain_ | mount: No medium found | 23:19 |
| Cain_ | what does that mean? | 23:19 |
| brainiac8008 | sponty, no. u do not have kde at the moment. synaptic allows you to download different packages/programs, like kde | 23:19 |
| Sponty | brainiac8008, i installed KDE 4 a month ago | 23:19 |
| bubu1uk | Cain_: what you tried to do? | 23:19 |
| Sponty | using apt get | 23:19 |
| Sponty | i'm running kde 4 right this second | 23:20 |
| Sponty | i need to know where kde base is installed in | 23:20 |
| Sponty | it's not in /opt, it's not in /sbin | 23:20 |
| johnsky | Anyways, so whats new in the new distro upgrade? Anything interesting? Or just the usual reliability patches | 23:20 |
| Cain_ | bubu1uk: mount my dvd drive | 23:20 |

| negge | johnsky are you upgrading to hardy heron? | 23:21 |

| joel | cable internet or dsl, or dial up? | 23:21 |
| Flamekebab | Any suggestions what the problem is if a partition is suddenly not showing up as it should on boot up? Corrupt partition table? It's supposed to be a JFS partition (semi-full) and now it appears as an empty Ext2 partition | 23:21 |
| unop | Sponty, you can use dpkg to list files part of the KDE4 package, is that is what you want? | 23:21 |
| ries_ | a modem i suppose as I dont know what a router is but no need to explain | 23:21 |
| cYmen | Slart: i ll try thanks | 23:21 |
| joel | is it high speed internet (cable or dsl) or is it dial up? | 23:22 |
| ries_ | cable high speed though not the very fastest | 23:22 |
| joel | okay and you are using Ubuntu right? | 23:22 |
| ries_ | yep | 23:22 |
| joel | I'm sending you a private message | 23:22 |
| Sponty | unop, how do i use dpkg to list files part of KDE4 packages? | 23:22 |
| Frogger6s6 | Hey Indy, what's up? | 23:22 |
| ries_ | I won't ask how you know my email address :-) | 23:23 |
| Frogger6s6 | DOS disk didn't work, either that or I blew the syntax. | 23:23 |
| unop | Sponty, dpkg -L packagename | 23:23 |
| joel | it's not through email, it is within irc | 23:23 |
| johnsky | I'm not entirely sure, I just applied the updates it was requesting I apply, and it informed me it was fetching a new distro upgrade. | 23:23 |
| johnsky | So, it would be which ever is current release. | 23:23 |
| joel | doesn't look like it's going to work, sorry | 23:23 |
| Sponty | unop, ty ty, that's exactly what I needed | 23:23 |
| Sponty | =D | 23:24 |
| unop | Sponty, for all kde packages - for i in $(dpkg -l | grep -i kde4 | cut -c 3-30); do dpkg -L $i; done | 23:24 |
| redwhitewaldo | what's the terminal command to import my PTP-enabled digital-camera to my computer? | 23:24 |

I've tried boot options acpi=force acpi=off and acpi=oldboot none of them made a difference | 23:25 |
| johnsky | I'm currently running gutsy gibbon, 7.10, is there a newer distro it would be trying to grab for me? | 23:25 |
| unop | Sponty, well, that only lists files of that one package tho, which is what i was getting at. | 23:25 |
| unop | !hardy | johnsky | 23:25 |
| ubotu | johnsky: 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 | 23:25 |
| joel | johnsky: no not until the end of the month when Hardy is released | 23:25 |
| brainiac8008 | cya | 23:26 |
| Moe|Joe | hmm | 23:26 |
| Sponty | kde[autocomplete] shows all the packages that begin with kde | 23:26 |
| Moe|Joe | 2 weeks to wait | 23:26 |
| Sponty | that's all i needed | 23:26 |
| Moe|Joe | now is it worth installing 7.10 and then doing upgrade to 8.04 | 23:26 |
| johnsky | hmm, which distro would it be trying to upgrade to? I'm assuming synaptic wouldn't be trying to fetch that if its still beta | 23:26 |
| Moe|Joe | or install the 8.04 beta and install final wen it gets released? | 23:26 |
| Sponty | dpkg -l | grep -i kde4 | cut -c 3-30 is pretty sophisticated, more than i need | 23:27 |
| Sponty | thanks tho unop =D\ | 23:27 |
| unop | Sponty, yw | 23:27 |
| mikedoty | I can't seem to get unfold cube to work in compiz. I can rotate it, but when I ctrl+alt+down as it says the shortcut is, nothing happens | 23:27 |
| mikedoty | Any ideas? | 23:27 |
| negge | johnsky i don't think it will ask you to upgrade before the final release is out | 23:27 |

| N3WFI3 | nice cool | 23:29 |
| Slart | Moe|Joe: why not install the beta and see if it works for you.. if it doesn't you can install 7.10 and wait until they fix the stuff you need.. if it works for you.. then yay! =) | 23:29 |
| atlef | miguel_c: make a folder, copy your backup, press alt-f2 write thunderbird -profilemanager and point to the folder | 23:29 |

| Totem | joel: I have another question though. Do you think you could help? I have a Belkin Wireless G Desktop Card and that is my only way to connect to the internet. When I bought it, it came with a cd and software to let Windows connect to the internet with it. Is there a way that I can use this with Ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| atlef | miguel_c: which one | 23:29 |
| N3WFI3 | dual core is automatically installed right | 23:29 |
| Azodon | N3WFI3 : what games? | 23:30 |
| atlef | miguel_c: or is it just an expression | 23:30 |

| N3WFI3 | im gunna find some games for linux to try, atm im downloading urban terror | 23:30 |
| Slart | N3WFI3: yes | 23:30 |
| Moe|Joe | Slart: i dont do backups much to be honest...i use ubuntu on laptop | 23:30 |
| Moe|Joe | wel | 23:30 |

| joel | totem: no there's not any way to use that cd | 23:30 |
| atlef | miguel_c: because religion really p''''s me of | 23:30 |
| joel | you need to find another way to connect, I'm sure it's possible | 23:30 |
| hp | slart, is it in the home folder? | 23:30 |
| miguel_c | atlef: i've a good movie to show you then | 23:31 |
| Slart | hp: on the same drive the files were.. or in your home folder.. there are many .Trash folders | 23:31 |
| joel | do you have dsl or cable? | 23:31 |
| Totem | I believe it's cable | 23:31 |
| atlef | miguel_c: and that is? | 23:31 |
| eisenhower_ | can someone tell me how to install the latest backports? | 23:31 |
| Totem | It is through a wireless router | 23:31 |
| miguel_c | wait, checking mails | 23:31 |
| joel | yeah there shouldn't really be a problem, ndiswrapper might work for you | 23:31 |
| Slart | hp: and since it's named .Trash it will be hidden in nautilus unless you set it to show you hidden files | 23:31 |
| Totem | ok, thanks | 23:31 |
| joel | what card is it again? | 23:31 |
| Totem | Belkin Wireless G Desktop Card | 23:32 |
| Totem | PCI | 23:32 |

| Slart | hp: where was this big file you're trying to get rid of? | 23:33 |
| atlef | Nyad: install hardy heron and live on the edge | 23:33 |
| JessMeister | I am trying to install xubuntu on a compaq presario 1675. It freezes at Starting common unix printing cupsd. The Bios are as updated as they can get and still fall behind the cutoff date of 2000 (1999) anyone know a fix? I've tried boot options acpi=force acpi=off and acpi=oldboot none of them made a difference | 23:33 |
| magnetron | Nyad: the standard ubuntu repository IS made for bleeding edge computers | 23:33 |
| hp | slart: it was on the Desktop. then i moved it to the trash bin. | 23:33 |
| N3WFI3 | what is new in hardy? | 23:33 |
| magnetron | !hardy > N3WFI3 | 23:34 |
| Slart | hp: you could open the trash-bin and look at the file.. perhaps right-click and look at the properties.. that might tell you where it's located | 23:34 |
| eisenhower_ | when you install something in the synaptic packagemanager does it automatically run? like ex. backports* | 23:34 |
| sk8ball_ | is bogofilter or spamassassin better? | 23:34 |
| squeak | Question, does anyone know of a software that will let me use my linux desktop as a webcam? | 23:34 |

| Totem | joel: I have seen a lot about the make command, but whenever I try to do something with it, I get a message saying that "make" is not a recognized command. What is that about? | 23:34 |
| redwhitewaldo | squeak: what do you mean? | 23:34 |
| hp | slart: it says location : trash:/// | 23:34 |
| joel | you do ./configure first | 23:34 |
| joel | then make | 23:34 |
| joel | then sudo make install | 23:34 |
| squeak | redwhitewaldo, when I was in xp, i used a program webcammax that let me use my desktop whatever I saw as a webcam, is there something similar to that in linux? | 23:35 |

| sk8ball_ | magnetron, well .... one is going to filter more spam than the other .... | 23:35 |
| tyuio | hi | 23:35 |
| googlah | Totem: have you installed make? try apt-get install make | 23:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | googlah: i dont think you have to install make | 23:35 |
| joel | it's sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 23:35 |
| bobbob1016 | How would I create a launcher to SSH into a computer and run a command, with one press? "ssh user@ip && command"? | 23:35 |
| kindofabuzz | apt-get install build-essentials | 23:35 |
| tyuio | what is swap? | 23:35 |
| magnetron | sk8ball_: they will probably catch different letters, and all of them won't be spam | 23:35 |
| mariobro_ | I get this message when I try to open Envy, "You have 1 broken package on your system!" how do i fix it? | 23:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | googlah: make is a command, not something you install, he probably needs build-essential | 23:36 |
| unop | joel, try and keep your reponses in one line and address the person you are speaking to .. it makes it easier for people using /LASTLOG | 23:36 |
| bobbob1016 | I'd want it to run the command on the machine I ssh-ed into | 23:36 |
| miguel_c | atlef: you there? | 23:36 |
| googlah | IndyGunFreak: maybe not. im not sure. maybe was thinking about automake :D | 23:36 |
| sk8ball_ | magne, of course .... but one is likely to have a higher catch rate and accuracy than the other | 23:36 |
| Nyad | !hardy > Nyad | 23:36 |
| Slart | hp: are you sure? when I created a file on my desktop and moved it to the trashbin, right clicked on it, chose properties etc it says it's in /home/markus/.Trash | 23:36 |
| atlef | miguel_c: yes | 23:36 |
| tyuio | what is swap? | 23:36 |
| sk8ball_ | i am sure ppl have compared them and come to conclusions | 23:36 |

| atlef | miguel_c: and that is what? | 23:37 |

| johnsky | I think they should. | 23:39 |
| cYmen | Slart: i get 404s with your version, too | 23:39 |
| miguel_c | thanks for the thunderbird tip, testing it | 23:39 |
| N3WFI3 | where's the general overview of features for the next release | 23:39 |
| hp | slart, i can't see that image | 23:39 |
| cYmen | Slart: can you tell me your settings so i can compare? | 23:39 |
| atlef | miguel_c: hope you get it working | 23:39 |

| atlef | miguel_c: do you have any extensions installed? | 23:40 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta | 23:40 |
| Totem | can I use Gutsy Gubbon ndiswrapper packages on Hardy? | 23:40 |
| alan_m | I DO NOT suggest downloading it right now, wait the few weeks for it to become main stream. | 23:40 |
| Totem | Hardy? | 23:40 |
| N3WFI3 | thanks i had a hard time finding the right section on the site lol | 23:40 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, your welcome. | 23:41 |
| Slart | hp: try this one http://i27.tinypic.com/34sowox.png | 23:41 |
| johnsky | Yeah, just wait until it's labelled stable, then it will automatically be available through your update manager | 23:41 |
| georgy_28 | ! hardy > Totem | 23:41 |
| N3WFI3 | so this version can be upgraded to hardy very easy? | 23:41 |
| N3WFI3 | no full download needed? | 23:41 |
| Totem | haha, I just spend 3 hours installing it! There is NO way I'm taking it off | 23:41 |
| Slart | cYmen: the settings in the client? | 23:41 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, right. | 23:41 |
| cYmen | Slart: yeah | 23:41 |
| N3WFI3 | nice! | 23:41 |
| johnsky | When it's ready, your update manager will let you know you can upgrade to it... from there it should be automatic. | 23:42 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, the full download your talking about, yes it will download everything, but it will replace what it needs to and so on. | 23:42 |
| joel | 3 hours? I flash installed it in 5 minutes 20 seconds ;) | 23:42 |
| hp | slart: i can delete somethign unimportant and check on it | 23:42 |
| N3WFI3 | will pretty much everyone jump on hardy when its stable | 23:43 |
| N3WFI3 | or is there a good reason to stay on gutsy | 23:43 |
| johnsky | By default, your update manager pops up in the top right corner letting you know there are updates to be applied... that same update manager will also automatically upgrade ubuntu to the newest versions for you. | 23:43 |
| alan_m | N3WFI3, pretty much everyone will probably want to go to hardy as it includes some major fixes over gutsy :) | 23:43 |
| atlef | N3WFI3: not all, but it is a LTS, so alot of people will | 23:43 |
| N3WFI3 | sounds good | 23:43 |
| johnsky | Where was that list of upgrades for hardy? | 23:43 |
| hp | slart, it doesn't create any .trash in the home folder. the location of the recently deleted file is trash:/// | 23:44 |
| Slart | cYmen: ok, here's a screenshot of my first settings-tab http://i27.tinypic.com/29bgd9i.png | 23:44 |

| ubotu | alan_m atlef johnsky N3WFI3: 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 | 23:44 |
| atlef | magnetron: hey he asked | 23:44 |
| Slart | hp: it's .Trash , not .trash if that makes a difference | 23:44 |
| N3WFI3 | http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta | 23:44 |
| hp | slart: nope | 23:44 |
| emma | Was there a video driver update recently? | 23:45 |
| hp | slart: there is no .Trash or .trash | 23:45 |
| magnetron | atlef, N3WFI3: hardy discussion in #ubuntu+1 ONLY tanks | 23:45 |
| larson999 | yeah, most everyone should go to hardy if you ask me. heck, i moved already and it's pretty good. | 23:45 |
| Slart | hp: what does this line produce in the terminal "ls ~/.Tr*" | 23:45 |
| atlef | magnetron: i know, but should we not atleast answer | 23:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | larson9999: lol, don't know about that.. i had issues w/ hardy | 23:45 |
| alan_m | enough about hardy folks, were making the ops cranky..... | 23:46 |
| hp | slart: no such file or directory | 23:46 |
| magnetron | atlef: no, not here | 23:46 |
| emma | Yes, in some ways, why go to Hardy if Gutsy is working very well for you? Why not wait until everything is sorted out? | 23:46 |
| N3WFI3 | hehe | 23:47 |
| alan_m | emma, magnetron said stop, we should at least listen as he is probably an op and will probably use his powers to kick us out if we dont abide by his orders right? | 23:47 |
| Slart | hp: ok.. I believe you.. what if you do a search for .Trash.. "find / | grep -i trash" | 23:47 |
| N3WFI3 | i thought magnetron was a bot lol | 23:47 |
| hp | slart: found it | 23:48 |
| hp | slart: it under .local/share | 23:48 |
| magnetron | alan_m, emma: i'm not an op but we don't want to confuse new users with beta discussion in the support channel, thank you | 23:48 |
| emma | magnetron is not an op. But that is not really relevant to whether we shuld e talking off topic. | 23:48 |
| Slart | hp: .local ?? what kind of folder is that.. | 23:48 |
| unop | hp, sounds like you are using hardy :) hardy support in #ubuntu+1 please | 23:48 |

| unop | majikins, well, does that line work from a terminal? | 23:51 |
| majikins | I don't want to do that from command line | 23:51 |
| alan_m | magnetron, .lexe, supposedly a linux executable. | 23:51 |
| majikins | vimtutor just starts from terminal | 23:51 |
| brian_ | magnetron: .lexe. And no, the site says its for linux, and it works on my laptop(Used the same CD to install both computers, and I THINK I have all the same updates for both | 23:51 |
| majikins | ok lemme try that | 23:52 |

| majikins | I tried "xfterm4 vimtutor" from laucher | 23:54 |
| majikins | but it just opens the terminal | 23:54 |
| unop | majikins, maybe. xfterm4 -e 'vimtutuor' | 23:55 |
| miguel_c | kunzy: go to control center -> acessibility -> keyboard shortcuts -> applications | 23:55 |
| majikins | awesome! | 23:55 |
| unop | majikins, you need to quote vimtutor and use -e | 23:55 |

| kunzy | miguel_c: Ubuntu GG I think 7.10? | 23:57 |
| miguel_c | kubuntu right? | 23:57 |
| joel | sudo fidisk 0l | 23:57 |
| joel | sudo fdisk -l | 23:57 |
| magnetron | dethstar: i like thoggen. if you search for "dvd" in applications > add/remove, you'll find a list of them | 23:57 |
| miguel_c | alt+f2 -> kcontrol | 23:58 |
| georgy_28 | dethstar, : try k9copy | 23:58 |
| unop | Randocal, mount would be better | 23:58 |
| dethstar | kunzy, don't you need wine for that? | 23:58 |
| Alex03 | hi | 23:58 |
| unop | joel, fdisk -l can be misleading | 23:58 |
| kunzy | dethstar: (smacks my head) sorry, my head is still stuck in windows | 23:58 |
| Randocal | fdisk -l doesn't give me details like ext2 or xfs, it just tells me 83/linux | 23:58 |
| dethstar | georgy_28, it's keeps crashing on me | 23:58 |
| Randocal | I have a partition that i think is xfs, and i'd like to verify that this is the case | 23:59 |
| kunzy | miguel_c: Sorry, says the file doesnt exist | 23:59 |
| joel | gparted tells you | 23:59 |
| unop | Randocal, the best way would be to test the devices. file -s /dev/sdaX | 23:59 |
| dethstar | magnetron, I might take a look at thoggen | 23:59 |
| Randocal | unop - thanks. That's perfect. | 23:59 |
