| Jester009 | I am having issues installing/starting up xubuntu on a compaq presario 1675 that has xp installed on it. The bios miss the cutoff date (1999) and I have tried booting it with options acpi=force acpi=off acpi=old boot but nothing seems to keep it from freezing at "Starting common Unix Printing Cupsd". Anyone know any fixes. I do no have the computer hooked up to a printer | 00:01 |

| IndyGunFreak | !patience | cola try it, its a virtue | 00:04 |
| ubotu | cola try it, its a virtue: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 00:04 |
| kunzy | miguel_c: (sigh) thats going to be a tough one........ k will do | 00:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | cola: but the ATI drivers are known to be crappy. | 00:04 |
| miguel_c | kunzy: im under a xubuntu system atm so I can't help you with amarok now | 00:04 |
| miguel_c | kunzy: it's tough at the beginning | 00:04 |
| cola | so i cant enable 3d :( | 00:04 |
| miguel_c | then you'll get used to, and addicted I hope =) | 00:04 |
| linkinxp | Ubuntu rocks :D | 00:04 |
| tortoise--- | do any of you folks happen to know off hand a good soure for an updated gutsy /etc/apt/sources.list ? the default one, all the servers time out | 00:05 |
| linkinxp | cola, try installing compiz :D | 00:05 |
| tortoise--- | same with aptitude, either if i try to apt-get update or aptitude update | 00:05 |
| cola | i installed it | 00:05 |
| cola | and works great | 00:05 |
| reya276 | is it safe to install Hardy beta yet? | 00:05 |
| linkinxp | cola, so? whats wrong then? | 00:05 |
| kunzy | miguel_c: ok, well is there a better media player for ubuntu that i can use or is amarok the way to go? And yea, i hope i get used to it. I need to expand my horizons, got tired of looking at the same stuff out my windows | 00:05 |
| linkinxp | reya276, im using it | 00:05 |
| kunzy | :P | 00:06 |
| linkinxp | reya276, no problem :d | 00:06 |
| cola | but when i try to playonlinux it tells me that i dont have 3d | 00:06 |
| binarical-app | cola: perhaps you could check under restricted drivers, if theres something applicable | 00:06 |
| reya276 | linkinxp: really, no graphic driver issues | 00:06 |
| linkinxp | cola, im not sure about that | 00:06 |
| reya276 | because that is really my only concern | 00:06 |
| linkinxp | reya276, i have a dell inspiron 1525 and nop not at all | 00:06 |
| unop | tortoise---, can you ping any of the mirrors? | 00:06 |
| cola | or i if i open ati control centre it tells me that i dont have graphic driver installed | 00:07 |
| tortoise--- | unop, i will check | 00:07 |
| linkinxp | cola, acc for linux? | 00:07 |
| cola | binarical-app: i tried that | 00:07 |
| reya276 | what about software issues with firefox, openoffice or gimp | 00:07 |
| cola | linkinxp: yes | 00:07 |

| kunzy | So what does everyone use to listen to music in Ubuntu? whats the best? | 00:08 |
| brian_ | unop: Wellll, after spilling half a glass of pepsi all over my desk, then putting it on the floor so I didn't spill while I cleaned it up, then kicking it as I walked out, then cleaning THAT up... :D I'm back. What is the build-essential package? How do I get that? | 00:08 |
| cola | kunzy amarok | 00:08 |
| linkinxp | kunzy, Amarok? | 00:08 |
| tortoise--- | unop: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com and security.* both time out | 00:08 |
| ricanelite | is there a application out there where I could record my desktop? and upload it to sites like youtube, personal sites? | 00:08 |
| Starnestommy | brian_: sudo apt-get install build-essential or look in system > administration > synaptic package manager | 00:08 |
| * binarical-app thinks brian learned a lesson | 00:08 | |
| IndyGunFreak | kunzy: audacious.. cuz i don't like bastard KDE libs.. :) | 00:08 |
| linkinxp | ricanelite, let me see im interested in that :D | 00:08 |
| Scunizi | I just acquired an old Gateway2000 P5-60 w/Win95 and want to put ubuntu on it. (or xubuntu). The AMI bios doesn't allow for booting to the CD rom.. how do I get around this? | 00:08 |
| tortoise--- | unop: it's weird because apache is definitely accessible by the outside world... this is a brand new install too | 00:09 |
| brian_ | Starnestommy: Ah, of course... Thanks | 00:09 |
| kunzy | ok, looks like amarok is the popular. But i will look into audacious | 00:09 |
| Starnestommy | brian_: it contains necessary programs, libraries, and tools for building new programs from sourcd | 00:09 |
| Starnestommy | *source | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: i t hink the program is called exactly that, recordmydesktop | 00:09 |
| unop_ | tortoise---, what does apache have to do with apt? | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | !info recordmydesktop | 00:09 |
| ubotu | recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.4-1 (gutsy), package size 41 kB, installed size 124 kB | 00:09 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dpkglock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:09 |
| linkinxp | ricanelite, :D | 00:09 |
| ricanelite | thanks IndyGunFreak | 00:09 |
| ryanakca | what's the factoid for a locked dpkg? | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: np | 00:09 |
| ricanelite | how can I send you a message your name is in red | 00:09 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: well, just that there is net access is all | 00:10 |
| ricanelite | on the chat | 00:10 |
| linkinxp | IndyGunFreak, can i broadcast? | 00:10 |
| unop_ | !adeptcrash | ryanakca | 00:10 |
| ubotu | ryanakca: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 00:10 |
| ryanakca | unop_: thanks :) | 00:10 |
| Starnestommy | ricanelite: like this? | 00:10 |
| emma | Scunizi, could you connect it to the internet and download the install directly to it? | 00:10 |
| ricanelite | yeah | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | linkinxp: i imagine, you probably just end up putting it on youtube, etc | 00:10 |
| unop_ | tortoise---, errm, can you ping those mirrors? | 00:10 |
| Starnestommy | ricanelite: put their name at the beginning of the message | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: you just say my name, thats all. | 00:10 |
| linkinxp | IndyGunFreak, i mean in realtime | 00:10 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: they time out, all of them that i see | 00:10 |
| ricanelite | IndyGunFeak thanks | 00:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | linkinxp: oh, now that i don't know. | 00:11 |
| Gilli | w00t | 00:11 |
| linkinxp | IndyGunFreak, ill check thanks | 00:11 |
| Scunizi | emma: I just stuck an old nic card into it.. but how would I download directly to it for install? I'm missing something. | 00:11 |
| unop_ | tortoise---, are you using the standard mirrors? | 00:11 |
| brian_ | Starnestommy: Out of curiousity, why does my laptop have that? I haven't installed anything on it in the past coupla months since I installed Ubuntu, and I've certainly never installed that package manually | 00:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: lol, didn't work..lol, you probably used a space or something.. use tab to autocomplete names | 00:11 |
| LjL | Gopher99: hello | 00:11 |
| ricanelite | Stamesstommy: okay | 00:11 |
| LjL | !test | 00:11 |
| ubotu | Failed. | 00:11 |
| unop_ | tortoise---, actually, let's have a look at your sources.list -- can you use a !pastebin and show it to us? | 00:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | !phail | 00:11 |
| ricanelite | Stamesstommy:okay | 00:11 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about phail - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:11 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: yes, the default ones at least, haven't touched the sources.list file | 00:11 |
| Gopher99 | LjL: .hey | 00:12 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: sure | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | is ubotu being picky again? | 00:12 |
| brian_ | Starnestommy: Never installed it, yet the program I'm usin works great :S same program as I'm trying on the other computer | 00:12 |
| LjL | IndyGunFreak: no, i was testing something else | 00:12 |
| ricanelite | lndyGunFreak:um | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok. | 00:12 |
| emma | Scunizi, I thought if you could download the whole cd to the hard drive, then you could use that. | 00:12 |
| ricanelite | i give up | 00:12 |
| ricanelite | lol | 00:12 |
| linkinxp | IndyGunFreak, no broadcast :P | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: oh i see the prob, your'e using L as the first letter.. should be an I..(i) | 00:12 |
| ricanelite | IndyGunFreak, ahhh there we go! | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | :) | 00:12 |
| ricanelite | IndyGunFreak, nice | 00:13 |
| unop_ | ricanelite, does your client not have tab-completion? | 00:13 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62374/ ... it had a space at the top as well | 00:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: anyways, recordmydesktop is in the repos, should be pretty easy to install, but i have no experience in its use | 00:13 |
| duli | Please, help: I was trying to recover the Windows mbr through Ubuntu with ms-sys --mbr /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda, and now my windows partition is unbootable... | 00:13 |
| linkinxp | ricanelite, i just installed its pretty easy but it doesnt broadcast | 00:13 |
| Scunizi | emma, no that won't work.. there would be no way to boot to the installer.. | 00:13 |
| unop_ | tortoise---, you've got 'gutsy' spelt wrong :) | 00:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | linkinxp: i think he said before he wanted to put it on youtube | 00:14 |
| emma | Scunizi - could you put it on many many floppies? | 00:14 |
| linkinxp | IndyGunFreak, ho my bad :( | 00:14 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: in the sources.list, really... | 00:14 |
| Scunizi | unop_: spelt isn't a word.. it's "spelled".. :) | 00:14 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: that's FUNNY... that's what it came installed with | 00:14 |
| tortoise--- | haha, zing | 00:14 |
| SpookyET | I have a peculiar problem. If I connect my 1080p to my laptop while I'm in gnome, not only do I get a low resolution on my laptop, I also get a low resolution on the 1080p. If I connect it before GDM, I get full resolution on my laptop and 1080p. I'm using xrandr. | 00:15 |
| Scunizi | emma.. your right.. many.. 640 of them | 00:15 |
| binarical-app | duli: not so bad, it could be worse, k so what you did was enter some mumbel jumbel insto the boot loader, now try doing the same thing you did using hd0 instead | 00:15 |
| ricanelite | it might be normal but i notice some windows are really big and my screen resolution is fine | 00:15 |
| ricanelite | and also icons as well | 00:15 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: still, why would the repository not resolve? | 00:15 |

| emma | Scunizi, I would like to know how you are supposed to install Ubuntu on this machine. Let me know when you find out. | 00:15 |
| ricanelite | IndyGunFreak, is there any application out there that captures a webcam? | 00:15 |
| duli | binarical-app: Hum, ok... I'll try that. Tks for now | 00:15 |
| tortoise--- | unop_: no matter, it works now anyways. thanks! that's weird! | 00:16 |
| unop_ | tortoise---, :) | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | ricanelite: webcams, are really hit and miss, it all depends on the make/model you have, some work great, a few work ok, a lot of them don't work at all. | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | !webcam | ricanelite | 00:16 |

| elmer | sry for the 2 lines | 00:17 |
| ALPSINC | elmer, ndiswrapper :) | 00:17 |
| ricanelite | it should be with restricted devices in Ubuntu Gusty | 00:17 |
| brian_ | I have 7.10, and when I go to open one of my files(KDXServer.lexe) from terminal, after I've made it executable, it says "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Whats wrong? :( I tried installing the build-essential package as was suggested, didn't help | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | elmer: a lot depends on the chipset of your wireless device, but most of them will work w/ ndiswrapper. | 00:17 |
| Scunizi | emma, I'm reading this link .. sounds interesting. http://tinyurl.com/3exghs | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | !hardware | elmargol look here and see if you're wireless device is known to cause problems | 00:17 |

| elmer | Another challenge: I don't really want to move my PC all around to get to an ethernet cable. Is there a way to do it without having an internet connection? | 00:17 |
| unop_ | Scunizi, funnily enough - "spelled" isn't a word in the oxford dictionary | 00:18 |
| ricanelite | the only thing that is great about Gusty 7.10 is the restricted devices which helps and make life easy when installing wifi and graphics card | 00:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | elmer: its a lot tougher. | 00:18 |

| elmer | thanks | 00:19 |
| Scunizi | unop_: deskbar's dictionary has it.. might be the differance between British english and American English. | 00:19 |

| binarical-app | elmer: there are different methods to get hardware to function in ubuntu, for wifi we have ndiswrapper . it uses the windows drivers and wraps them nicly to run in ubuntu. there is also mad wifi. mad wifi make almost any wifi card run | 00:20 |
| elmer | IndyGunFreak, so what packages do I add to Ubuntu? | 00:20 |
| unop_ | ALPSINC, apt-get source login | 00:21 |
| ALPSINC | i'm gonna pimp out mah login make it like the good ol mainframe z/os style | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | elmer: nevermind, i just realized thats telling you to go to another linux box. | 00:21 |
| elmer | binarical-app, so should I use mad wifi or ndis? | 00:21 |
| ALPSINC | unop_, ok, and where can i find the source after i do that? | 00:21 |
| elmer | I used Xubuntu for a bit, but only with ethernet because I couldn't get wifi to work | 00:21 |
| elmer | IndyGunFreak, OK, thanks | 00:21 |
| unop_ | ALPSINC, it should download it into the current directory | 00:21 |
| brian_ | When I go to open one of my files(KDXServer.lexe) from terminal, after I've made it executable, it says "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

Anyone know any fixes. I do no have the computer hooked up to a printer | 00:22 |
| binarical-app | elmer: madwifi must be built, there are very comprehensive how toos on mad wifi. ndiswrapper can be obtained thru apt therefore might be easyer for you to try out | 00:22 |
| elmer | yes | 00:22 |
| elmer | definitely | 00:22 |
| unop_ | brian_, try this -- sudo aptitude install build-essential libstdc++5 | 00:22 |
| kunzy | Ok, got another problem. My computer went to sleep and didnt wake up. When i rebooted it, it loaded a default GRUB menu i guess. Because i no longer have XP as a boot option and the modifications i made to the ubuntu boot are gone. Can anyone please copy and paste their menu.lst for GRUB that uses XP? And can anyone tell me why it does that? thanks | 00:22 |
| brian_ | unop_: Ok, one sec. | 00:23 |
| elmer | I have a bunch of tech experience, but I am like a duck in a blender when it comes to WiFi on Linux | 00:23 |

| elmer | i only have 2 gb ram | 00:24 |
| elmer | so I only need 32 | 00:24 |
| elmer | but is 64 bit better? | 00:24 |
| unop_ | elmer, if you are starting out stick with the 32-bit version to save yourself from a few headaches but if you want to utilize the full potential of your hardware, go with the 64-bit version | 00:25 |

So I used gconf-editor to make my desktop background "mandatory." for some reason when I set that, next time i booted up my background was set to the default background and I can't change it back! How can I fix this? | 00:27 |
| arrow | what is the quickest way to upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10? | 00:27 |
| fragged | no, dear datachild, no your not | 00:27 |
| datachild | arrow, installing windows | 00:27 |
| datachild | :) | 00:27 |
| elmer | binarical-app, well that sucks | 00:27 |
| datachild | byes! | 00:27 |
| brian_ | unop_: Your a life saver :D Thanks, works great :) Just curious, but why does it work on one computer, but not the other? Used the same CD to install both, both have all the latest updates, and I haven't downloaded installed anything EXCEPT for this program that I'm trying to get working(Which now does :D) | 00:27 |
| elmer | I guess I might just have to move my PC after all | 00:27 |
| elmer | that would suck royally | 00:27 |

| binarical-app | elmer: your windows partiton will mount per default, only fitting the wiki to you may be harder | 00:28 |
| InGunsWeTrust | IndyGunFreak: well they can't change it! haha But the ugly brown default wallpaper doesnt match my blue theme! | 00:28 |
| fragged | brian_, they, alike addicts, have to help themselves first. | 00:28 |
| elmer | I have 2 partitions already | 00:28 |
| unop_ | brian_, it's hard to say, i can only assume that apt didnt maintain the proper list of packages or failed to install build-essential properly | 00:28 |
| elmer | 1 just for windows | 00:28 |

| mariobro | when I try to run Envy, I get the message "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: debhelper" What does this mean? | 00:28 |
| binarical-app | elmer: so no ubuntu yet? | 00:28 |
| elmer | not yet | 00:29 |
| elmer | but I have an OLD cd | 00:29 |
| pschorf2 | mariobro: have you tried to apt-get debhelper? | 00:29 |
| elmer | like 6.06 | 00:29 |
| elmer | or 5.10 | 00:29 |
| mariobro | not yet... | 00:29 |
| Jester009 | is a compaq presario 1675 too old for xubuntu? | 00:29 |
| elmer | I don't remember | 00:29 |
| Starnestommy | mariobro: it means that you shouldn't run Envy | 00:29 |
| reya276 | are the special effects working too | 00:29 |
| pschorf2 | mariobro: run sudo apt-get install debhelper | 00:29 |
| Twilt | Hello | 00:29 |
| brian_ | unop_: Ah, yeh, thats probably it... Took me two trys to install it, first one froze up. The second time probably just messed up too. Is there some easy command that installs everything from the CD that was SUPPOSED to be installed? Not that it matters now, but, just incase :) | 00:30 |
| InGunsWeTrust | does anybody know how to make a setting not mandatory anymore in gconf-editor? | 00:30 |
| Mindloop | Helllo | 00:30 |
| FailureDude | dux | 00:30 |
| binarical-app | get a new cd, if you wait for a week or so hardy will be out and you can try that. be sure to update your system right after the installation...... that may figure the problem for you right away | 00:30 |
| ALPSINC | what package is agetty in? | 00:30 |
| seespotrun | Is ubuntu made to be so slow and bloated? | 00:30 |
| elmer | I remember when I installed Xubuntu on an old 700 MHz, it had to be connected via ethernet | 00:30 |
| reya276 | does hardy support hotplug usb devices suach as tablets and external hard drives | 00:30 |
| mariobro | $ sudo apt-get install debhelper | 00:30 |
| mariobro | Reading package lists... Done | 00:30 |
| mariobro | Building dependency tree | 00:30 |
| mariobro | Reading state information... Done | 00:30 |
| mariobro | Package debhelper is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 00:30 |
| FloodBot2 | mariobro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:30 |
| mariobro | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 00:30 |
| elmer | do I truly have to move my PC to install Ubuntu and get my wifi working? | 00:30 |
| binarical-app | seespotrun: you may be bloating it with a gui ;D | 00:30 |
| unop_ | brian_, errm, yes, it might take much longer than the CD install but - sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30) | 00:31 |
| binarical-app | elmer: can you lan boot? | 00:31 |
| tehrei | why is ubuntu so slow | 00:31 |
| tehrei | how do i fix it? | 00:31 |
| elmer | binarical-app, I don't entirely understand what you mean | 00:31 |
| Mindloop | But see, the typical user lacks the ability to change GUI's. it's not really worht it to them, I can't for the life of me understand why Gnome is so process itnensive | 00:31 |
| reya276 | seespotrun: bloated, maybe you have an ancient pc, because ubuntu is extremely fast | 00:31 |
| Twilt | When Ubuntu 8.04 is released will it contain wubi in it or do I go to wubi's website and will wubi inclue Ubuntu? I wish to have both wubi, and Ubuntu stable (not beta) when 8.04 is released. | 00:31 |
| seespotrun | i dunno tehrei i have the same problem | 00:31 |
| brian_ | unop_: So that installs everything that SHOULD be on a normal install? And would it mess anything up? >.> | 00:31 |
| reya276 | when on 512mb, try turning the special effects off | 00:31 |
| seespotrun | i have xfce installed but its taking forever just to load | 00:31 |

| Starnestommy | tehrei: do you have compiz running? | 00:32 |
| FailureDude | seespotrun try installing it on your ps triple | 00:32 |
| tehrei | what? | 00:32 |
| mariobro | so what do I do if I can't get debhelper? | 00:32 |
| Taza | seespotrun: Have you tried optimizing the boot time with grub options? | 00:32 |
| FailureDude | might be faster | 00:32 |
| Starnestommy | tehrei: have you enabled visual effects? | 00:32 |
| FailureDude | its got more cores | 00:32 |
| unop_ | brian_, well to be strict, that reinstalls all packages that are currently installed so it might miss out packages that failed to install in the first place.. and no it doesnt mess anything up | 00:32 |
| tehrei | i think so | 00:32 |
| elmer | Could this work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296822 ? | 00:32 |

The bios miss the cutoff date (1999) and I have tried booting it with options acpi=force acpi=off acpi=old boot but nothing seems to keep it from freezing at "Starting common Unix Printing Cupsd". Anyone know any fixes. I do no have the computer hooked up to a printer | 00:32 |

| brian_ | unop_: Ah, perfect! :D Thanks. | 00:32 |
| mannex | enrique, I am a complete noob.... but did you blacklist your previous drivers? | 00:32 |

| binarical-app | elmer: well in bios there is an option to boot from your network, if you have a system that will boot yours for you, id give it a shot. you know there are even pc shops who know alot about booting things and maybe for a small fee would be able to get your system in tip top condiditon for you | 00:33 |

| tehrei | yeah, windows seems to run faster on my e-machine | 00:34 |
| Starnestommy | seyacat: /etc/init.d | 00:34 |
| Mindloop | windows does run faster than ubuntu, even with all of windows effects on | 00:35 |
| seespotrun | and surprisingly crashes a lot more | 00:35 |
| seyacat | init.d its a directory? | 00:35 |
| Starnestommy | seyacat: yes | 00:35 |
| Mindloop | yeah, seespot, i know. | 00:35 |
| binarical-app | elmer: take a look at this, ill be back with more | 00:35 |

| mannex | enrique, take a look at this.. i solved my wifi problems with it this morning https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#autostart | 00:35 |
| elmer | I don't think the GP-whatever is Atheros | 00:35 |
| brian_ | unop_: Erm, that command doesnt work >.< Says "Couldn't find package reinstall" | 00:36 |
| Mindloop | i was desperate for a free operating system, ubuntu didn't seem to do it. Then I switched to slackware | 00:36 |
| Mindloop | unbuntu crashed more than my windows did | 00:36 |
| seespotrun | is slackware a better choice? | 00:36 |
| elmer | binarical-app, I do not believe my WiFi card is of an Atheros chipset | 00:36 |
| binarical-app | elmer: the wiki you sent me was for something like ndiswrapper using a linksys chipset | 00:36 |
| tehrei | can i run iTunes on linux? | 00:36 |
| Taza | Mindloop: Well, what is your hardware like? | 00:36 |
| Mindloop | and in slackware, i was able to run compiz, all of the effects, all of that. without speed loss | 00:36 |
| seespotrun | because i think ubuntu's simply too unstable to be of any use as a replacement | 00:36 |
| mannex | Slackware is great | 00:36 |

| elmer | binarical-app, oh. wait, the forum link? | 00:36 |
| seyacat | i see there is all the scripts but how can i choose i want to run | 00:36 |
| enrique | ok thanks mannex i will check it out | 00:36 |
| unop_ | brian_, --reinstall not reinstall :) | 00:36 |
| Taza | tehrei: At least using wine it should | 00:37 |
| Mindloop | I've got a amd athlon 65 3300+, 2 gigs of ram and a 8600gt. Ubuntu was complete shit | 00:37 |
| seespotrun | It's just too friggin UNSTABLE. | 00:37 |
| binarical-app | elmer :http://madwifi.org/ this is precisly what your looking for, dont worry aobut the driver , worry about the application | 00:37 |
| symptom | tehrei: use rhythmbox or exaile or gtkpod | 00:37 |
| tehrei | ok | 00:37 |
| brian_ | unop: "Couldn't find package sired" | 00:37 |
| Taza | And I take you're using "tainted" kernel drivers? | 00:37 |
| Mindloop | Ubuntu is a tainted debian kernel | 00:37 |
| ALPSINC | unop_, do you know how to get the source to getty? | 00:37 |
| Taza | symptom: Well, if you don't mind dragging a lot of KDE libs AmaroK is a superior choice | 00:37 |
| binarical-app | Mindloop: you should try and compile your own kernel ;P | 00:38 |
| elmer | BTW, binarical-app, I checked and my Gigabyte WiFi card is RT61 chipset. The same as in that forum link. | 00:38 |
| Mindloop | Gentoo, i'd try it if I had the patience | 00:38 |
| seespotrun | mindloop: maybe it'll work better than ubuntu | 00:38 |
| icesword | i am using debian sid .latest one | 00:38 |
| Mindloop | probably | 00:38 |
| seespotrun | mindloop: who knows what the people who compiled ubuntu put in it | 00:38 |
| unop_ | ALPSINC, getty is part of util-linux as per dpkg -S $(which getty) .. so get the source of util-linux, apt-get source util-linux | 00:38 |
| binarical-app | elmer: can you please talk in the channel, so that everyone can participate and learn as well as help | 00:38 |

| Mindloop | spot: no idea, probably horrible horrible things | 00:39 |
| symptom | Taza: never used amarok what makes it superior? | 00:39 |
| ALPSINC | unop_, ahhh, thanks! i'll keep that command in mind then | 00:39 |
| Taza | symptom: Well, pretty much everything. Better UI, better sound system support, more configurable. | 00:39 |
| pschorf2 | _Silhouette_: what is it? | 00:39 |
| Taza | It's the best of the unix music players. | 00:39 |

| Survivorman | elmer, no problem. most of the time your name being spoken sends some sort of visual cue that you have been messaged directly. | 00:42 |
| bulio | anyone? | 00:43 |
| elmer | Survivorman, I know that much. I am a regular on a few more obscure IRC channels. | 00:43 |
| unop_ | bulio, not to offend you, but google can answer questions like that much faster and better than us (because we would have to go to goole to answer your question anyway) | 00:43 |
| Scunizi | elmer.. just guessing but it might be something like.. sudo /etc/init.d/jackd restart | 00:43 |
| SundanceAU | a | 00:43 |
| binarical-app | Jester009: change your bios setting to boot from cdrom, turn off your hd , save , reboot | 00:43 |
| elmer | Scunizi, tbh, I don't know what you are talking about | 00:44 |
| Jester009 | binarical-app: thanks ill try that | 00:44 |
| Scunizi | elmer, sorry wrong nick.. | 00:44 |
| _Silhouette_ | is there some sort of guide for what I need? The one the browser gave me just seems to be a typical install, which I can't do right now | 00:44 |
| elmer | OK, thanks, Scunizi | 00:44 |
| Jester009 | binarical-app: my boot settings are already like that | 00:44 |

| amenado | hatter yes or if you know how lpd works, you can use that too | 00:51 |
| elmer | binarical-app, as long as I download the file in advance I think that forum post will work | 00:51 |
| Jester009 | binarical-app: the system ran fine under windows xp. It still has the OS installed. I am using ubuntu-7.10-desktop i-386 | 00:51 |
| Siph0n | hey... whats an easy program to combine a video w/ audio with other audio video sources? | 00:52 |
| zcat[1] | Siph0n: kino is pretty easy | 00:53 |
| binarical-app | elmer: okay give it a shot, dont worry i dont think you can brek much, at worst it wont install. but have fun and be saf, if you have a question ask the man like: man man or man help or man wifi. find specific instances of what you need to know read read read | 00:53 |
| icesword | don't use wubi,afraid of data loss,os failure,try virtual machine ,then | 00:53 |
| elmer | binarical-app, I am going to try it, but first I have to install Ubuntu | 00:53 |
| alan_m | in 18 days we can talk about hardy in here, not before then though, or if you wish to discuss it now, #ubuntu+1 guys, just a general blurt out, for nobody specific. | 00:54 |
| * binarical-app shakes his head and prays a silent prayer | 00:54 | |
| elmer | binarical-app, but I think I have to have a connection to even install it. Or at least I had to in Xubunty Text Installer. | 00:54 |
| zcat[1] | another 108M of updates, I only updated last night!! | 00:55 |
| Pelo | zcat[1], what app ? | 00:55 |
| alan_m | zcat[1], udates for what? | 00:55 |

| alan_m | *updates | 00:55 |
| zcat[1] | Pelo: hardy ... | 00:55 |
| hanophix33 | i am trying to watch mlb.tv on firefox but since I am running Linux, firefox is telling their server that im not running windows. I can get a menu on Wine version of Firefox that allows me to view a stream that is doesn't require Silverlight, in LINUX i cannot get that screen | 00:56 |
| zcat[1] | running it on three machines here, it's pretty good so far but by gum there are a lot of updates every day | 00:56 |
| Pelo | zcat[1], you have to expect that, beta get updates to fix every single bug they can resolve before it is officialy out | 00:56 |
| Jester009 | binarical-app: that it how it is set right now. | 00:56 |
| ShiFTKey | I know this is an ubuntu channel, but what do you guys think of fedora? | 00:56 |
| seyacat | how can i switch tty with command line | 00:56 |
| mark[oz] | ShiFTKey, balls | 00:56 |
| alan_m | zcat[1], you havent been keeping up with the updates then or has it just been a few days since you installed it? | 00:56 |
| Pelo | ShiFTKey, we don't think about it | 00:56 |
| ShiFTKey | ctrl-alt Fx | 00:56 |
| ShiFTKey | where f = 1 - 6 | 00:56 |
| mark[oz] | ShiFTKey, they're package management system is about as mature as a child | 00:56 |
| binarical-app | elmer: your going to be in trouble without a cable connection. but go ahead and give the system an install, dhcp can configure at a later time | 00:56 |
| ShiFTKey | I mean x | 00:56 |
| zcat[1] | no, 108M of updates since last night! | 00:56 |
| seyacat | and whith command line | 00:56 |
| ShiFTKey | yes, I hate their package management | 00:57 |
| ShiFTKey | apt is so much better | 00:57 |
| erle- | is there a comfortable way to switch between propietary flash player and another plugin (gnash, swfdec)? | 00:57 |
| hanophix33 | Anyone know how to watch mlb.tv on Linux? | 00:57 |
| alan_m | zcat[1], i didnt have that many since last night, like 108 | 00:57 |
| amenado | seyacat man switchto | 00:57 |
| Survivorman | Jester009, I googled your problem and read about 6 posts with a few people with the same issue. In the end, they used the alternate cd. | 00:57 |
| seyacat | ty | 00:57 |
| Pelo | zcat[1], I heard you correctly , but like I said , betas get lots of updates to finish fixing the bugs before release | 00:57 |
| alan_m | zcat[1], i had like maybe 4 :) | 00:57 |
| Survivorman | *6 forums | 00:57 |
| elmer | binarical-app, I don't actually use DHCP in windows. I have OpenDNS and a static IP set up. Would it be hard to tell ubuntu to do the same? | 00:57 |
| jpw27_ | whenever i wake my box up from sleeping/suspending, it won't except my password. i can hit switch user, and log in fine, and my applications are still up, but whenever it's waking up it won't take my password. is this known at all..... | 00:57 |
| zcat[1] | nz repos sometimes get a bit behind.. might be two days of updates backed up | 00:58 |
| binarical-app | Jester009: so you cant boot anything ? how about windows. | 00:58 |
| jpw27_ | *accept | 00:58 |
| Jester009 | survivorman: would the alternate cd be the server version? | 00:58 |
| amenado | elmer-> you use static ip address on an ubuntu | 00:58 |
| Siph0n | zcat[1], Kino cant open avi files??? :) | 00:58 |
| elmer | amenado, I am sorry but I do not understand your comment | 00:58 |
| Survivorman | binarical-app, I think he has an issue where cups hangs, just in the live cd, am I right Jester009 ? | 00:58 |
| charles|64 | ok, is there a way to generate an email certificate? | 00:58 |
| Jester009 | SurvivorMan: yes that is right. | 00:59 |
| * Pelo laughs at the notion of jpw27_ 's computer being startled by an unexpected password | 00:59 | |
| hanophix33 | anyone use MLB.tv? | 00:59 |
| amenado | elmer which part you dont understand? using a static ip address? | 00:59 |
| Survivorman | Jester009, the alternate is an installation only cd, no live cd. | 00:59 |
| zcat[1] | Siph0n: it converts them on the fly, you might need to install ffmpeg tho (it should be a dependancy) | 00:59 |
| wobbiebobbie | has any body use ubuntu studio | 00:59 |
| binarical-app | thanks man | 00:59 |
| alan_m | wobbiebobbie, yes | 00:59 |
| Jester009 | Survivorman: is the download available on the same page as the live cd iso? | 00:59 |
| elmer | amenado, the English doesn't make sense. Sorry. Is there just like a box I put in my DNS and IP? | 00:59 |
| binarical-app | elmer: using static ip is a bit expensive. other wise i think its great | 00:59 |
| Survivorman | Jester009, yes. Under the download link, there should be a checkbox for the alternate cd. | 00:59 |
| jpw27_ | Pelo: i do find it a little humorous/odd, but it doesn't make it any less annoying :) | 01:00 |
| zcat[1] | elmer: yes, during the install choose 'manual' network setup instead of automatic | 01:00 |
| elmer | binarical-app, expensive? I mean static internal IP, not external | 01:00 |
| wobbiebobbie | If I open snap manger and down load it will it integrate with ubuntu | 01:00 |
| Jester009 | SurvivorMan,binarical-app: thanks for both your help ill try the alternate cd *crosses fingers* | 01:00 |
| elmer | zcat[1], thanks | 01:00 |
| binarical-app | it WILL work | 01:00 |
| Survivorman | Jester009, good luck :) | 01:00 |
| Pelo | jpw27_, suspend/hibernate is touchy in linux at the best of times but I'm guessing this particular issue is probably covered in the forum , do a search www.ubuntuforums.org | 01:00 |
| hanophix33 | MLB.tv anyone?> | 01:01 |
| zcat[1] | elmer: or you can just change it after the install, network manager on the taskbar, change it from dhcp to static | 01:01 |
| wobbiebobbie | ubuntu studio wont mess up any thing | 01:01 |
| jpw27_ | thanks Pelo, i'm off to the forums then | 01:01 |
| alan_m | hibernate/suspend hardly works on ANY computer, ive heard nothing but nightmare stories jpw27_ :/ | 01:01 |
| owen1 | i have a script that i want to run from F2 without the path. any ideas? | 01:01 |
| elmer | zcat[1], thanks, but I probably will just set it during install | 01:01 |
| alan_m | jpw27_, even for myself..i cant get it working | 01:01 |
| charles|64 | anyone? | 01:01 |
| jpw27_ | alan_m, i use to have it working fine, then i changed HDD's and it doesn't like it upon waking up | 01:02 |

| N3WFI3 | yup | 01:02 |
| binarical-app | elmer: unless you have asked your isp for a static ip , you will still have a dhcp ip. what you can do is set your router manually so that inside of the network ips are configured to the same location all the time | 01:02 |
| zcat[1] | 'hardly hereyet' | 01:02 |
| alan_m | "hardy herron" zcat[1] :) | 01:02 |

| binarical-app | elmer: i wont be able to help you from outside unless the system is already installed, in which case i dont think youd need my help any more | 01:04 |
| Pelo | hanophix33, we may not use it but if you state the exact nature of the problem we might still be able to help | 01:04 |
| zcat[1] | I wasn't.. gutsy was the buggiest ubuntu of about the last four versions.. imho anyhow. | 01:04 |
| elmer | binarical-app, I am fine installing it, I just need help to get wifi | 01:05 |

| hanophix33 | MLB.tv has switched over to silverlight, they offer a old view which works in mplayer. I cannot get the option to view in the old media player because Firefox tells their server im not on Windows | 01:06 |
| _Silhouette_ | i also don't get the whole hd0, hd1, etc. thing | 01:06 |

| Mc_G0d | Anyone got some tips on how to get WPA2 to work? | 01:07 |
| _Silhouette_ | icesword: I've never done anything with partitions | 01:07 |
| Mc_G0d | I got the actual wireless nic working finally | 01:08 |
| alan_m | eric_, this isnt windows, its totally different, to open things is much different in ubuntu and linux than in windows. | 01:08 |
| Pelo | eric_, you can'T install windows programs on linux, we recommend you check in the add/remove applet in the application menu | 01:08 |
| Redeye2 | eric_ how are you trying to download them? | 01:08 |
| binarical-app | elmer: it would be easyest if you booted into ubuntu and came here , we can help you get it up to any standard you want | 01:08 |

| binarical-app | try azerus | 01:08 |
| psmith | Holly crap thats is a sugnificant number of bits,bytes and giga bits .etc | 01:08 |

| eric_ | why does anyone want linux? | 01:09 |
| N3WFI3 | it owns | 01:10 |

| Pelo | fbc ? | 01:44 |
| Pelo | nvm | 01:44 |
| _Silhouette_ | oh | 01:44 |
| _Silhouette_ | yes I'm using grub | 01:44 |
| * Pelo is getting old and confused | 01:44 | |
| jtld | FBC: Just boot with a Live CD mount the drives and copy your FAT32 data over to the Ext partition. | 01:44 |
| _Silhouette_ | I'm following the instructions on the tinyurl url in !install | 01:44 |
| * binarical-app waves to pelo | 01:44 | |
| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| fbc | Pelo, I got a 500gb fat32 drive that I would like to convert | 01:45 |
| icesword | lol | 01:45 |
| binarical-app | _Silhouette_: how else can i help you | 01:45 |
| * Pelo feels treatened by binarical-app shaking his hands at him | 01:45 | |
| charles|64 | Pelo: | 01:45 |
| Remagen | So guys, how can I make a partition to install ubuntu? I run the install manager from a livecd, and it tells me that "no root file system is defined" | 01:45 |
| * binarical-app turns away in fera | 01:45 | |
| fbc | Pelo, I got nothing bigger to backup the data to... | 01:45 |
| Johne5 | how can i find where openssl is installed on my box? | 01:45 |
| binarical-app | *fear | 01:45 |
| Pelo | fbc, back up the data , and make an ext3 partition , then copy the data back | 01:45 |
| Nervetatoo | I get a kernel panic but without any real errors before it, and the only thing during boot that looks suspicious is a call to name_to_dev_t() which is passed a dev uuid that i certainly dont recognize and its not for my hd. Also, nothing ends up in kern.log, which made me believe the hd could be failing, but in live cd i have no problem using it and fsck turns out ok (although i fixed a lot of multiply claimed blocks) | 01:46 |
| charles|64 | Pelo: FYI to fix the frostwire 64 issue: sudo update-alternatives --config java and select option 5 | 01:46 |
| Johne5 | its installed, i just dont know where/how to find it | 01:46 |
| _Silhouette_ | binarical-app: so you say that the worst that can happen is I have to maybe get the CD to boot the system, but no data should be lost on C:\ or on F:\ where it will be installed, and that if I follow the instructions in the tinyurl blog post, I should have no problems and it will let me choose exactly where I want it installed, correct? | 01:46 |
| Pelo | charles|64, congrats | 01:46 |
| enrique | aight i am back once again, i am still having problems with connecting ubuntu thru wireless using an acer aspire 5040 with an atheros 2413 wireless integrated card on a laptop | 01:46 |
| Pelo | fbc, got any free space on that hdd ? | 01:46 |
| charles|64 | Pelo: thank you | 01:47 |
| _Silhouette_ | it won't format the HD during install or anything, right? | 01:47 |
| binarical-app | _Silhouette_: it depends on alot of things, but yes that is the gist of it. make sure you back your data up.... is one last bit of advice | 01:47 |
| _Silhouette_ | okay maybe I should do a backup first. | 01:47 |
| _Silhouette_ | on both drives or just the external HD? | 01:47 |
| Pelo | fbc, still there ? | 01:47 |
| fbc | Pelo, yeah like 100 gb.. are you recommending I resize copy resize,etc, until the whole thing is converted? | 01:47 |

| Pelo | fbc, pretty much , , no other way I can see to go about it | 01:48 |

| jtld | ohp: Logitech Quickcam | 01:48 |
| binarical-app | _Silhouette_: just dont mess up you internal hd | 01:48 |
| Pelo | fbc, actualy, check the optons, you can you cna probably have a bunch of contiguous ext3 partion and then merge them | 01:49 |
| fbc | Pelo, hmm.. or maybe just wait until there is a defrag system for fat32... | 01:49 |
| _Silhouette_ | binarical-app: yes it's just for external HD, not internal | 01:49 |
| Pelo | fbc, it would be worth the trouble to move everything to ext3 | 01:49 |
| binarical-app | okay then that should work, did you make the ext hd bootable before you started? | 01:49 |

| eric | ive restarted my comp and it still doesnt work | 02:13 |
| psmith | Zelta: : I have used it and IMHO, far surpasses even the journalling capibilities of xt2,3 file systems. | 02:13 |
| Astralian | 1024 | 02:13 |
| grego22 | eric hmm | 02:13 |
| Astralian | grego22: 1024 | 02:13 |
| Stewie_Griffin | eric, so...what seems to be your problem with that? its trying not to screw up something by that :D | 02:13 |
| eric | the same thing happens with limewire | 02:13 |
| Stewie_Griffin | oh, nevermind | 02:13 |
| binarical-app | eric: okay that means that your system cant get a lock on the package manager since another application is using it. that means you have add and remove as well as sysnapic installed | 02:13 |
| grego22 | Astralian: did you search for errors on dvd, do it, i am now pretty sure your dvd is corrupted | 02:13 |
| eric | how do i close oth software management programs | 02:13 |
| donciccio | psmith: sorry, but I do not understand. It is a CD-R and it is a wine application... | 02:13 |
| nixnoob | anyone know how to fix "your audio capture settings are invalid" error? | 02:14 |
| grego22 | Astralian: eric be right back 5min | 02:14 |
| Astralian | grego22: after booting dvd-rw it says ok | 02:14 |
| bazhang | !aptfix | eric | 02:14 |
| ubotu | eric: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 02:14 |
| psmith | Astralian: : id recommend a minimum swap size of 1536MB | 02:14 |
| grego22 | Astralian: look for this option on live boot, and search for errors in dvd | 02:14 |
| binarical-app | eric: sorry open | 02:14 |
| Astralian | psmith: I ca't install | 02:14 |
| Astralian | psmith: can't | 02:14 |
| binarical-app | eric: use the mouse to close un need applications | 02:14 |
| eric | i understand nothing about what you just said | 02:14 |
| Datalanche | eric, try running in terminal: sudo apt-get clean | 02:14 |

| brian_ | Does anyone know what port to forward if I want to use vncviewer? | 02:15 |
| psmith | Astralian: have you tried another distroibution suc as Slackware or arc? | 02:15 |
| bubu1uk | brian_, not sure, i think 5900 | 02:16 |
| Astralian | psmith: what is another? | 02:16 |

| bazhang | slackware? | 02:16 |
| enrique | aight still have not resolved the issue about the wireless in ubuntu | 02:17 |
| Nervetatoo | What could be the reason that there are nothing logged during boot until i get the kernel panic? Would the fact that no log is written to disk imply that the failure happens before disks are ready to be written to (mounted)? And are there any ways the swap space could be broken in a way that it would result in a kernel panic? As the uuid sent to name_to_dev_t() i just realized actually is the uuid for my swap partition | 02:17 |
| Datalanche | hmmm, so I guess ext3 it is :) | 02:17 |
| Datalanche | I don't really need super speed, just need it to work | 02:17 |
| Astralian | psmith: I tried Mandriva 2008 and it installs and runs successfully! | 02:17 |
| sjovan | brian_: first you have to finde out what the server name is. maby you are running tightvnc? any way ---> ps aux | grep vnc or something should figure out of that. then you do ---> netstat -anp|grep name-of-ap, and then you can se the port. you could also reconfigure the pory (that's prob. the easyes way) | 02:17 |
| * binarical-app thinks Datalanche is ready for hardy | 02:17 | |
| brian_ | binarical-app: Ah, thanks, that confirms it. 5900. | 02:17 |
| binarical-app | np | 02:18 |
| Datalanche | binarical-app: lol, I thikn not | 02:18 |
| brian_ | sjovan: :P I have everything set up, it's just a matter of which port I needed to forward in my router. Thanks though :) | 02:18 |
| psmith | Astralian: You can find slackware @http;//www.slackware.com and arc at http://www.arklinux.org/ | 02:18 |
| binarical-app | Datalanche: heh well its gonna be a ride i can tell you that | 02:18 |
| Astralian | psmith: I tried Mandriva 2008 and it's all ok with it | 02:19 |
| Datalanche | binarical-app: I'm not installing until "launch day". It is still in bad shape or something? | 02:19 |
| nixnoob | anyone know how to fix "your audio capture settings are invalid" error? | 02:19 |

| Astralian | seems like nobody can help me | 02:25 |

| Stewie_Griffin | Astralian, patience dude, patience :D | 02:26 |
| enrique | i have done that but still cannot seem to get it working | 02:26 |
| bazhang | Astralian: thought you were going to try the alternate cd | 02:26 |
| Astralian | Stewie_Griffin: you see it's too early for linux everytime user are in trouble | 02:26 |
| psmith | Astralian: just sebtle for text anfd in doing so you will acturally gain more knowledge about the command line interface and the fore more knowleddge about linux and its *nix cousins! | 02:27 |
| icesword | i agree | 02:27 |
| GrueTamer | psmith speaks the truth | 02:27 |
| Astralian | bazhang: Stewie_Griffin: but windows buy cd and install that's all . 100 installation no worries but Linux | 02:27 |
| bazhang | Astralian: then stay with windows; they have a support channel ##windows | 02:27 |
| Astralian | bazhang: I'm talking that many people ae in trouble you even can't try linux | 02:28 |
| GrueTamer | Astralian: actually, getting windows to have all the stuff you want is just as hard as it is in ubuntu. its probably HARDER to hunt down drivers and stuff | 02:28 |
| skimat | someone here that setted up the brainstorm site | 02:28 |
| bubu1uk | Astralian, i know bout people that did many linux installs and no problem. but had many with windows. funny, ain't it? | 02:28 |
| psmith | Astralian: Knowing what i have klearned even in my short three years as a avid user and promoter of linux and its *nix next of kin. | 02:28 |
| bazhang | Astralian: that should be taken to ##windows or #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:29 |

| the_darkside_986 | because i know for sure that ndiswrapper package forgets to do the modprobe | 02:42 |
| bazhang | mattheas_: that is the 5006/7 or other | 02:42 |
| psmith | mattheas_: try that and t report wour results bac here please? | 02:42 |

| mattheas_ | I read it somewhere in here | 02:45 |
| bazhang | you followed the instructions completely in the link I gave you mattheas_? | 02:45 |

| mattheas_ | yes | 02:45 |
| mattheas_ | what's weird | 02:45 |
| mattheas_ | is when I try to modprobe ndiswrapper | 02:46 |
| mattheas_ | it says module not found | 02:46 |
| mattheas_ | but it's def installed | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | brian_, crontab and the rsync command perhaps. | 02:46 |
| bazhang | mattheas_: what errors did you encounter please be precise | 02:46 |
| mattheas_ | ^^ | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | brian_, or any of a dozen other 'backup' utilities from the crontab | 02:46 |

| IndyGunFreak | hanophix33: in wine firefox, you'll need to install a wine video app. | 02:50 |
| RedScare | this ubuntu battery life is killing me | 02:50 |
| RedScare | like murder | 02:50 |
| fragged | How can I see whats using my cached memory? Apparently I'm using 3.5gb of mem for caching :E | 02:50 |
| hanophix33 | what media player works in WINE seamlessly? | 02:50 |
| fragged | hanophix33, whats the point in using linux if you use WINE for things such as media players? | 02:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | hanophix33: i have no idea, good luck on that one, i've had zero luck w them | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | hanophix33, i doubt if any of them do. | 02:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | fragged: and that was gonna be my next question | 02:51 |
| RedScare | fragged, maybe he wants best of both worlds | 02:51 |
| mattheas_ | bazhang, Stewie_Griffin and psmith http://pastebin.com/mc8c4c8a | 02:51 |
| brian_ | Dr_willis: Good plan, in theory :) But I'm the type who never remembers to do anything(Such as back stuff up), and really, the more I'm mucking about, the more things thatll get messed up :P | 02:51 |
| RedScare | eh hem, maybe he should just VM inside windows | 02:51 |
| hanophix33 | I am trying to use MLB.tv that doesnt work well anymore | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | ive found very few videos that i cant play under linux. :) (if you dont count those XXX wmvs with the russian spyware codecs) :) | 02:51 |
| Stewie_Griffin | mattheas_, i was just giving you the pastebin link, i really dont know much to help you, maybe bazhang and psmith can help though :D | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | but i normally dont watch streams from websites like that. | 02:52 |
| fragged | RedScare, name a windows based media player which is 'best', there are Media players that act as WMP does, and windows based iTunes is buggy, lame and crap software (macOS iTunes is another story) | 02:52 |
| mattheas_ | oh ok | 02:52 |
| Dar1us | does anyone know if it's possible to get JMicron JMB363 RAID support going? | 02:52 |

| RedScare | DAmmit! My MKV porn collection is trashs | 02:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | hanophix33: i don't know if you are talking about live feeds, but i'm getting the videos on mlb.tv just fine | 02:53 |
| brian_ | Dr_willis: I'm not trying to set it up now, I'm just curious as to how much work would actually need be done... I still would hafta go out to buy a flash drive for it(Don't have one currently. I use either 80gb iPod, or SD cards/card reader, but neither can just be left plugged in for a while, I need them) | 02:53 |
| RedScare | wmp classic works fantastically | 02:53 |
| bazhang | mattheas_: yes I saw that; what errors did you get from the link I gave you please be precise | 02:53 |
| mattheas_ | when I get to modprobe ndiswrapper | 02:53 |
| RedScare | not too mention with a little tweaking WMP 11 works just fine for just about everything I've throw at it | 02:53 |
| mattheas_ | it says module not found | 02:53 |
| mattheas_ | but it's definitely installed | 02:54 |
| hanophix33 | IndyGunFreak...how do u get the option to use the old player | 02:54 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys... i got someone on my network, i dont mind that hes on, but is there a way i can message him just to let him know that i know hes on my network | 02:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | hanophix33: ?.. old player?.. the videos played in flash i think | 02:54 |
| bazhang | mattheas_: then you have made an error in doing that; please start over | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | brian_, you can get a 2gb flash thumbdrive for like $20 or less now a days. and just leave it plugged in. If its that imporntant | 02:54 |
| hanophix33 | IndyGunFreak: try now | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | brian_, thers also web based file arvhive sites - or other ways to backup a few mb. | 02:54 |
| RedScare | Todd, whats his terminals name? | 02:54 |
| mattheas_ | hmmm | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | brian_, :) You could tar/zip the stuff and send it to your gmail account automaticially even | 02:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | hanophix33: yes, its flash... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/mlbtv.jsp?c_id=mlb | 02:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | that one may be different from what you want though | 02:55 |
| psmith | mattheas_: http://rallink.rapia.net should answer your question IMHO. | 02:55 |
| brian_ | Dr_willis: :O how much setting up would that take? Like I said, right now, I'm just lookin at some options, seein whats easy, I'll set it all up in a few days | 02:55 |
| hanophix33 | indygunfreak: thats not how they stream | 02:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok | 02:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | i figured as much. | 02:56 |
| psmith | mattheas_: http://ralink.rapia.net should answer your question IMHO. bad link the first time around. | 02:56 |

| Nervetatoo | Still struggling with my kernel panic, but i found an error that seems related. "/sbin/init not a directory" quite recent before the kernel panic. I'm though unsure on how to solve it | 02:59 |
| DOOM_NX | how is the command line rar program called? | 02:59 |
| Nervetatoo | And what the cause would be | 02:59 |
| psmith | RedScare: I naddtition what manufacturer manufacturers your video card and is it onboard or a slot in card (i..e Pci, AGP or PCIE X16)? | 02:59 |
| DOOM_NX | (as in: how do i extract rar files using terminal?) | 03:00 |
| DOOM_NX | best way | 03:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | !rar | DOOM_NX | 03:00 |
| ubotu | DOOM_NX: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 03:00 |
| DOOM_NX | rar | 03:01 |
| DOOM_NX | thanks | 03:01 |
| DOOM_NX | wow... it was so easy lolz | 03:01 |
| psmith | DOOM_NX: Please Perform google search dor rar for linux? | 03:01 |
| D-Unit | DOOM_NX, i think u cd to directory and do unrar *.rar | 03:01 |
| DOOM_NX | yes i found rar but i thought ubuntu had something else installed | 03:01 |
| D-Unit | DOOM_NX, u can unrar by right clicking using a gui u no.. | 03:02 |

| jiaji | hello everybody, one trivial question, when I read man pages in text-mode, there're certain characters cannot be displayed, e.g., User's Manual is displayed as User(white square)s manual, anybody knows why? Console unicode mode is enabled. | 03:03 |
| Shiva88 | DOOM_NX: there is a command line utility called unrar that should work, though i've never used it | 03:04 |
| gpm | is there a way to make nautilus do list view on the desktop? | 03:04 |
| gpm | unrar e <archive.rar> | 03:04 |
| gpm | the package is called unrar | 03:04 |
| Nervetatoo | anyone? "/sbin/init not a directory" sounds like a failure someone must have encountered. And since i've fsck-d the partition and fixed everything it cant be a broken partition? | 03:04 |
| Shiva88 | might need to install unrar first, i don't think it's installed by default. at least on gutsy | 03:04 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys... i got someone connected to my router, i dont mind that hes on, but is there a way i can message him just to let him know that i know hes on my network | 03:04 |
| gpm | Shiva88: it's not | 03:04 |
| Starnestommy | ToddEDM: tell your router to disconnect him, restart it, or find out where he is and contact him in person | 03:05 |
| psmith | GENERAL ADVISRE PLEASE DO your reaserch (I.E. readind man pages, browsing forums ( ubuntuforums.org or (linuixquestions.org)) or simply googling on the command) also i higlly recommen thyat all new yusers of linux an its *nix next of kin sign up for a free account on linuxquestions.org ( where i may be found undrer athe alias Linux-Hawk)!! | 03:06 |

| cyclonut | gpm: bah | 03:08 |
| bazhang | cyclonut: what version of ubuntu | 03:08 |
| gpm | DOOM_NX: if you install unrar you can just open the archive in file-roller (AKA "Archive Manager" | 03:09 |
| Shiva88 | DOOM_NX: i don't have a rar file to try this with, but methinks that unrar e file.rar /home/DOOM_NX/Desktop is what you're looking for? | 03:09 |
| gpm | ) | 03:09 |
| cyclonut | bazhang: hardy, basically, I am looking for a menu that'll track my most frequently used apps | 03:09 |
| spine55 | DOOM_NX: or if your using tar -C | 03:09 |
| DOOM_NX | Shiva88, thanks let me see | 03:10 |
| DOOM_NX | gpm i need console | 03:10 |
| DOOM_NX | and spine thanks i'll try that too | 03:10 |
| n-iCe | how to know if my pc is 32 or 64 bits? | 03:10 |
| gpm | DOOM_NX: man unrar, i think you want the "x" option | 03:10 |
| GrueTamer | n-iCe: if you dont know, 32 | 03:11 |
| n-iCe | GrueTamer why | 03:11 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: your processor or your OS? | 03:11 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy I don't when I download a iso image there are for 32 or 64 bits | 03:11 |
| n-iCe | how do I know which one must I download | 03:11 |
| gpm | Shiva88: i think you need to use x, e is only for the current dir | 03:11 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: what kind of processor do you have? | 03:11 |
| Shiva88 | DOOM_NX: argh, gpm's right... it's "unrar x file.rar /home/DOOM_NX/Desktop | 03:11 |
| GrueTamer | because 32 is majority, and iirc 32 works in a 64 bit system, might even be better | 03:11 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: btw, if you don't know, the 32 bit version works fine on most 32-bit and 64-bit intel and amd computers | 03:12 |
| DOOM_NX | yes it works | 03:12 |
| DOOM_NX | thank u very very very very very much | 03:12 |
| gpm | DOOM_NX: oh e worked? | 03:12 |
| gpm | for a different dir? | 03:13 |
| DOOM_NX | no x filename dir | 03:13 |
| n-iCe | ok mine is intel | 03:13 |
| gpm | oh ok | 03:13 |
| gpm | cool | 03:13 |
| Mehal | okay i just have a quick question about the panel | 03:13 |
| n-iCe | so it is 32 bits? | 03:13 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: some newer intel ones are 64-bit, but I don't know which ones | 03:13 |
| MEtaLpREs | is there a way to permanently disable the firewall in ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| GrueTamer | n-iCe: how old is your machine | 03:13 |
| n-iCe | 2 years maybe | 03:13 |
| Shiva88 | n-iCe: what OS are you in right now? xp? | 03:13 |
| GrueTamer | go 32. | 03:14 |
| MEtaLpREs | its constantly causing prblems with various things, but as soonas i reboot or log out it starts back up | 03:14 |
| Shiva88 | yeah, a 2 yr old intel machine is probably 32 | 03:14 |
| Flannel | MEtaLpREs: There's no need. There is no functioning firewall rules by default. | 03:14 |
| n-iCe | Shiva88 right now, vista but I don't wanna know about this computer I wanna know about the ubuntu pc | 03:14 |
| GrueTamer | go 32. | 03:14 |
| randomoutburst | ok so when i use the live cd for 7.10 i have sound but i just did a fresh install and now i dont have any sound what could be wrong? | 03:14 |
| MEtaLpREs | well there must be some rules cause lots of stuff gets blocked by default, like torrents and my xbox media center | 03:14 |
| GrueTamer | randomoutburst: check alsamixer | 03:14 |
| Starnestommy | MEtaLpREs: are you behind a router? | 03:15 |
| n-iCe | how do I update my ubuntu to the lastest version? | 03:15 |
| mariobro | Can anyone help me? I've enabled the 3d graphics, but my viedocard is not good enough and now my system is lagging badly. How can I make it smooth again? | 03:15 |
| randomoutburst | what do you mean by that? | 03:15 |
| b4l74z4r | the new oss is nice | 03:15 |
| MEtaLpREs | i am, but as soon as i turn off the firewall in ubuntu everything works fine, so its not the router | 03:15 |
| GrueTamer | open up a terminal | 03:15 |
| GrueTamer | alsamixer | 03:15 |
| psmith | Rule of thumb X86 family means the mechine is based uopon a process earlier than the P4s with hyper threadein support and X86_64 means the disk can be used to install a kernel which support i the full capabilities of both AMD 64 bit and the familiar Ia64 bit families of processors from intel or amd including the newer Itainium chips ( mainly soly for servers and high end engineering workstations. | 03:15 |

| randomoutburst | no everything is turned up | 03:16 |
| mariobro | not now | 03:16 |
| b4l74z4r | does ubuntu use xorg or xfree86? | 03:16 |
| Shiva88 | n-iCe: "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 03:16 |
| bazhang | mariobro: but you did | 03:16 |
| GrueTamer | b4l74z4r: xorg | 03:16 |
| mariobro | i did earlier, but then read another website on how they did it for ati | 03:16 |
| Starnestommy | Mehal: right click on panel, select "add to panel", go to the botoom of the list, select "notification area", then click add | 03:17 |
| bazhang | mariobro: the damage is done | 03:17 |
| mariobro | :( | 03:17 |
| randomoutburst | any other ideas? | 03:17 |
| Mehal | okay, thanks so much | 03:17 |
| mariobro | hmm how can i fix it? | 03:17 |
| GrueTamer | randomoutburst: is alsa running | 03:17 |
| GrueTamer | i would assume it is... | 03:17 |
| mariobro | i could reload the system, but i'm not sure how | 03:17 |
| Mehal | i was looking in the wrong section, i was looking in the desktop and windows section | 03:17 |
| randomoutburst | yeah it is if i just opened it up in the terminal right? | 03:18 |
| mariobro | is there a way to delete the information in a partition, then install into it? | 03:18 |
| MEtaLpREs | so can the firewall actually be permanently disabled or removed all together? cause the answer "you dont need to" is kinda lame, whether i need to or not that doesnt really answer my question | 03:18 |
| Smorg | mariobro: fdisk? | 03:18 |
| mariobro | ? | 03:19 |
| b4l74z4r | is it possible to turn on system-wide vsync in xorg? | 03:19 |
| Smorg | Smorg: what are you trying to do? | 03:19 |
| GrueTamer | mariobro: make an identical new parttion | 03:19 |

| n-iCe | I installed microsoft flight simulator 2004 using wine and the installation was good, now when I try to run it, it doesn't run what should I do? | 03:20 |
| psmith | MEtaLpREs: Due you have your machines behind a internet safe router/firewall? If so is the firewall on the aftermentioned infrastructure device correctly configured and enabled? | 03:21 |
| nickrud | Smorg you would need to install openssh-server to get a server, and it runs automatically when it is installed | 03:21 |
| Smorg | nickrud: aah the live cd doesn't come with it? hrm. | 03:21 |
| MEtaLpREs | nickrud: iptables is showing no policies setup, and in firestarter it also shows no policies setup, but the firewall still starts up on boot and my xbox is blocked and as soon as i turn off the firewall my xbox becomes visable... | 03:21 |
| Smorg | i'll just have to chroot first. thx :) | 03:22 |

| Pir8 | Folks, I have a question. I have an Intel Quad Core processor (Q6600). Does it make sense to install Ubuntu 64 bit or would 32 bit do just fine ? what's the big advantage of 64 over 32 ? | 03:22 |
| Shiva88 | DOOM_NX: no | 03:22 |
| nickrud | MEtaLpREs sudo apt-get remove --purge firestarter should remove the firewall config scripts, along with firestarter | 03:23 |
| DOOM_NX | good, i should watch it | 03:23 |
| GrueTamer | randomoutburst: probably different settings in xorg or something | 03:23 |
| Shiva88 | DOOM_NX: yeah, it doesn't go to a trash bin or anything like that | 03:23 |
| nickrud | MEtaLpREs iiirc , /etc/firstarter has the script that gets run | 03:23 |
| randomoutburst | humm i tried fedora 8 and that didnt work either, the live cd anyway | 03:23 |
| DOOM_NX | Shiva88, it never goes | 03:23 |
| DOOM_NX | lol... | 03:24 |
| bazhang | Pir8: how much ram? if you have more than 4gb then may be worth it | 03:24 |

| DOOM_NX | it was an experimental virtual machine, don't panic | 03:25 |
| Shiva88 | yeah, don't even print that in case someone else thinks it looks like a good idea | 03:25 |
| DOOM_NX | now i know :P | 03:25 |
| nickrud | Pir8 I'd suggest sticking with 32bit, you get access to some stuff (flash, java browser plugin, some 3d party stuff) without going thru gyrations | 03:26 |
| dotech | Pir8: and he means it when he says gyrations, i still don't have java working in ffx | 03:26 |
| nickrud | DOOM_NX ah, experimental. Experiment away, that's what they're for ;) | 03:26 |
| dotech | i have to isntall the 32-bit version if i want it | 03:26 |
| dotech | flash was simple though | 03:27 |

| N3WFI3 | is it the driver or dual core problem | 03:31 |
| fevel | hello | 03:31 |
| psmith | Pir8: . dotech : IMHO with in the next couple of years wie will se a full discontinuaion of research and developement dollars besing spent on the 32bit processors by Amd, Intel , Ctrix and others. | 03:31 |
| fevel | how can I se if my two processors are working? | 03:31 |

| b4l74z4r | this is so strange, i read on various boards that people have issues with playing video in their browsers cause vsync is off so theres horizontal tearing in them, and absolutely no one seem to know anything about resolving this | 03:32 |
| N3WFI3 | thats what i ment | 03:32 |
| dotech | psmith: yep, no need within the next 30 years for more than 64-bit | 03:32 |
| N3WFI3 | lol | 03:32 |
| dotech | psmith: at that point it will be a different architecture most likely, quantum, etc | 03:33 |

| nickrud | fevel doh. cat /proc/cpuinfo | 03:34 |
| psmith | fevel: Which install disk did you use the x86 or the X86_64 disc, because if you didn't use the 64bit instalation disk you won't have the rpoper kernel thus restricting you to one core on each microchip!! | 03:34 |

| N3WFI3 | someone goto know how to fix gfx slowdowns :( | 03:37 |
| bazhang | juannicolas: you need to go into ccsm and set general virt horiz desktops to 4 | 03:38 |
| nickrud | juannicolas install compizconfig-settings-manager (advanced desktop settings in prefs when installed) and enable desktop cube. | 03:38 |
| Alisdair | I deleted the partitions, but can't get them to merge back to a single partition | 03:38 |
| bazhang | alan_m: okay sorry about that my bad | 03:38 |
| psmith | Mehal: You might have an improperly recognized Graphics Processing Unit GPU aka video card. | 03:38 |
| juannicolas | oh, is the virtual not in the Number of Desktops? | 03:38 |
| Scunizi | Alisdair: if you deleted them then you need to recreate one large one.. if you didn't delete them then you'll see the same number of partitions | 03:38 |
| juannicolas | nice | 03:39 |
| bazhang | juannicolas: right, that is the advanced desktop settings manager not the ubuntu desktops on the panel | 03:39 |

| zero88 | I know this if off-topic, but are bit torrents safe? | 03:41 |
| bazhang | zero88: of linux isos yes | 03:42 |

| nickrud | dang, you guys must have that on text replace | 03:42 |
| zero88 | bazhang what about to download pdf's and ebooks? In general are they safe? | 03:42 |
| Pici | nickrud: nah, just type fast ;) | 03:43 |
| bazhang | zero88 that you have paid for? | 03:43 |
| Xark | zero88: Thats like asking if "files" are safe. :-) Totally depends what is in the torrent (or the file). If its pirated, then the risk goes up significantly... | 03:43 |
| zero88 | bazhang no. | 03:43 |
| Scunizi | zero88: if you're worried about virus's don't.. | 03:43 |
| Pici | !piracy | zero88 unsafe and illegal | 03:43 |
| ubotu | zero88 unsafe and illegal: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 03:43 |
| bazhang | then this is not the channel for that zero88 | 03:43 |
| nickrud | zero88 but a pdf? I would say that's ok | 03:43 |
| zero88 | ok thanks. I know they are bad for windows...but wasnt sure about ubuntu. | 03:44 |
| zero88 | I mean what could you download for linux other then a script? | 03:44 |
| Alisdair | i had a 30 gig partition with windows, then i deleted that, loaded ubuntu which split the 30 into two partitions of 28 and 2 | 03:44 |
| nickrud | zero88 like Xark says, it's what's in the torrent that matters. If it's legal, and from a trusted source ... | 03:44 |
| Pici | zero88: Linux does not have a virus problem. | 03:44 |
| alan_m | Linux=rock solid pretty much | 03:45 |
| nickrud | just don't run as root :) | 03:45 |
| Pici | !virus | zero88 | 03:45 |

| ubotu | zero88: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 03:45 |
| zero88 | true. but I've heard about linux root-kits. | 03:45 |
| Pici | Alisdair: When you install windows, it will re-create the parition on its own. See ##windows for more details. | 03:46 |

| Shiva88 | heh | 04:16 |
| bazhang | haker: you want to use mono? | 04:16 |
| ubuntu_newbie | do I have to make some changes there first? | 04:16 |
| haker | g++ -o rawr.cpp RAWR.exe dont work :( | 04:16 |
| haker | bazhang: mono ? | 04:16 |
| lnxnwbe | idleone: i have an all in one , photo 944 printer-scanner i can't find if its supported . Do you know anything about this? | 04:16 |
| ubuntu_newbie | because it is fresh installed copy of ubuntu and I haven't touched anything yet | 04:17 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, that wont work... you have to use network manager, but i dont remember if it comes by default with 6.10 | 04:17 |
| ampmaniac3 | hi all! how will I add fonts to firefox? | 04:17 |
| amidaniel | haker: You have it backward | 04:17 |
| Scunizi | lnxnwbe: you didn't mention the brand of the printer | 04:17 |
| haker | O.o | 04:17 |
| amidaniel | haker: g++ -o RAWR.exe rawr.cpp is what you want I assume | 04:17 |
| lnxnwbe | scunizi: sorry its a dell photo 944 | 04:17 |
| Shiva88 | lnxnwbe: my linux printer experience is limited, but have you just tried it? i plugged in my HP all-in-one this morning and it work automagically in gutsy | 04:17 |
| f0rmat | are there any programs that can optimize memory etc? | 04:18 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx nm-applet command not found | 04:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok so do this: sudo apt-get install network-manager | 04:18 |
| karex | hi all:what's the biggest problem when installing ubuntu in laptop? | 04:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok so do this: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome | 04:18 |
| === boyam_ is now known as boyam | ||
| lnxnwbe | it detects it i think but when i goto print someting it gives status bar and all but no print | 04:18 |
| bazhang | karex broadcom | 04:18 |
| haker | http://pastebin.com/mf3f7819 | 04:19 |
| amidaniel | f0rmat: What do you mean by optimize memory? You mean to optimize a single program or an entire os? | 04:19 |
| karex | bazhang: broadcom? what is it? | 04:19 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx D: could not find package network-manager-gnome | 04:19 |
| ubuntu_newbie | shall I insert CD first? | 04:19 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok so do this: sudo apt-get install network-manager then | 04:19 |
| bazhang | karex wireless | 04:19 |
| amidaniel | haker: What g++ Shell.exe -o swell.cpp means is, my source is in the file Shell.exe compile it into an executable named swell.cpp | 04:20 |
| karex | bazhang: only that? | 04:20 |
| Carbonflux | I am noticing two versions of Azureus in the Ubuntu repo's, one claims to be "native code" I am assuming that means someone complied it from source on Ubuntu and that the package in the repo's is a Deb package ? | 04:20 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, have you changed yout sources archive and removed the cd entry? | 04:20 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx same error | 04:20 |
| * sCOTTo farts | 04:20 | |
| bazhang | karex you asked for biggest not all; what are your issues we can then address them | 04:20 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx no, nothing | 04:20 |
| SeaPhor | I was having same problem as f0rmat,,, i just fresh installed on a new hard drive and slaved the old for the files, but thats not a fix | 04:20 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok, so firsst we have to change your sources of apt | 04:20 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx alright, how? | 04:21 |
| karex | bazhang: i've bought Compaq. I want to install ubuntu on it | 04:21 |
| Scunizi | lnxnwbe: that printer won't work.. it offloads a lot of the processing to the windows environment which makes it cheaper and much less compatible with linux | 04:21 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, can you connect your laptop to a wired netowrk or something? | 04:21 |
| f0rmat | amidaniel, the entire os | 04:21 |
| lnxnwbe | scunizi :ok ty | 04:21 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx yes! but that would not connect to internet | 04:21 |
| Shiva88 | lnxnwbe: i think Scunizi's right... there are a few threads in the forums about that same printer, doesn't sound like anyone is having much luck with it | 04:22 |
| thundr3 | karex: what stage are you in? Have you attempted to install it yet? | 04:22 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx only this laptop is connected to internet, which is through mobile broadband connection, i need to get to my local area network for some file transfers and play around! | 04:22 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, try puytting the cd on your laptop and try install what i've told you | 04:23 |
| amidaniel | f0rmat: That's not really possible to do unless you recompile all the programs on your system to be more memory efficient | 04:24 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx I tried that as well, CD is inserted | 04:24 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx can I install from the CD, human interface rather than command line? | 04:24 |
| karex | thundr3: not yet | 04:24 |
| f0rmat | well the system is absorbing resources when i have the graphics up to medium | 04:24 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx, is Network Manager same as System > Administration > Networking ? | 04:24 |
| ubuntu_newbie | because I can see it there | 04:25 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok, put your cd on and search for a network-manager package, but i believe it is not there. And it is not the same to your second question | 04:25 |
| chuy | hi, I can't mount my hdb hard disk, it was previously hdb, but since an update I only have sd??, I tried to mount sdb1 but tells me that it is not a block device (I'm using hardy heron, I tried #ubuntu+1 but no one could help me) | 04:25 |
| NiceStrei | Please help me- both the Ubuntu 7.10 and the 8.04 LiveCDs wont work. They find no errors on the CD check, and I have installed both recently, but now when I try to install, X just keeps restarting. | 04:26 |
| NiceStrei | AMD 3500+, 1gb ram, Radeon X1600, etc. should not have any issues | 04:26 |
| Shiva88 | NiceStrei: have you tried the alternate disk? | 04:26 |
| b4l74z4r | should i use "nvidia-settings -load-config-only" or "nvidia-settings -l" in my sessions startup programs to make the configuration stick? | 04:26 |
| IdleOne | NiceStrei: using the same cd to burn the iso? | 04:27 |
| NiceStrei | Shiva88: no I have not. I'll give it a try, but i figure if the discs didn't work, the OS wouldn't either | 04:27 |
| bazhang | karex: have you downloaded the live cd yet? | 04:27 |
| SeaPhor | ad this problem with a new install on a friend's computer, had to go into system>administration>synaptics package manager and fix alot of things there, but i dont know if thats what you need or not | 04:27 |
| arrow | I just installed bittornado and I'm trying to have it open a file but can't find where it is located, can someone tell me or tell me how to find out? | 04:27 |
| NiceStrei | IdleOne: no, i was, but i just tried a brand new CDR (burned at 4x) and it does the same thing | 04:27 |
| karex | bazhang:i've had the live cd | 04:27 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx no file found | 04:28 |
| binarylust | What's up all | 04:28 |
| IdleOne | NiceStrei: download the Alertanate install iso and try that | 04:28 |
| Shiva88 | NiceStrei: if you're just trying to install, and aren't worried about the livecd environment, then try the alternate | 04:28 |
| bazhang | arrow: any reason to use that and not transmission or better? | 04:28 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx i guess the package is not in the CD | 04:28 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, i will recommend you to try to connect your laptop to a wired network and install the package i've told you | 04:28 |
| NiceStrei | alright, thanks IdleOne and Shiva88 . I'll give those a shot. | 04:28 |
| Falling-Inferno | How do i Mount a .bin? | 04:28 |
| arrow | bazhang, the site i use only allows a small amount of clients | 04:28 |
| binarylust | So....what happens when this version is out of Beta....will it upgrade to full automatically...or do we have to start over? | 04:28 |
| bazhang | karex: does the livecd see your wireless card and give you okay graphics etc? | 04:28 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx ok i will try that | 04:28 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx please stay with me! | 04:29 |
| IdleOne | binarylust: you will be givin the option to upgrade | 04:29 |
| linkinxp | which command can i use to trace an ip? | 04:29 |
| binarylust | Sweet, thank you IdleOne | 04:29 |
| karex | bazhang:i'm sorry, i've just plan it. But i'm affraid to try | 04:29 |
| NiceStrei | While I'm at it.. does anyone know how to make the iTunes (on wine or parallels) network shared library work? It seems like the ports aren't open, but even if i get a firewall and open the ports (double checked, they are open), my library will show up on my other computer, but not load. | 04:30 |
| IdleOne | linkinxp: trace an ip? what do you mean? | 04:30 |
| arrow | How do I find out where programs are located after I install them? | 04:30 |
| karex | bazhang:is it dangerous? | 04:30 |
| Falling-Inferno | How do i Mount a .bin? | 04:30 |
| r00723r0 | Anyone know of any good asterisk frontends for GTK+? | 04:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok i'll try xD | 04:30 |
| linkinxp | IdleOne, yea i have an IP i want to know info ( should i just use whois) lmao | 04:30 |
| bazhang | karex okay; well nothing to fear as it is a livecd; boot into it (set bios to look for cd drive first) look around, then see what you like or not; then simply restart pull out the cd and you are back in windows files untouched | 04:30 |
| IdleOne | linkinxp: yeah or /dns ip | 04:31 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx I connected the network cable and tried the command again, same error | 04:31 |
| linkinxp | IdleOne, thanks | 04:31 |
| NiceStrei | tl;dr: iTunes shared library doesn't work. Why? | 04:31 |
| owh | After inserting one particular DVD into my Thinkpad R52 running Gutsy nothing happens. No messages in dmesg, nothing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog.

| linkinxp | IdleOne, what about resolve Mac addresses? | 04:32 |
| === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal | ||
| amenado | linkinxp-> man arp | 04:32 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, do a cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the output on a file and pass your file to your laptop and then show it to me on paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 04:32 |
| nikki8965 | join #osi | 04:32 |

| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx, yes it is a router! | 04:34 |
| MattRyan | hey guys. I have an ubuntu installation question | 04:34 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, after you connected it through cable, does it have an ipaddress, try with ifconfig and check | 04:34 |
| bazhang | karex one step at a time; you want to do some commands while in the live cd to see how well it fits that laptop--any way to chat here while you run the livecd on that computer? | 04:34 |
| MattRyan | 7.10 using live CD. I select the option to start/install and it loads, then sends me to a command prompt. | 04:34 |

| MattRyan | that might be the reason | 04:35 |
| RoAkSoAx | or other besides 127.0.0.1 | 04:35 |
| bazhang | karex: well to make sure this is a good fit best to do it that way; when you get home will you have that option? | 04:36 |
| Scooma | verify the burn? | 04:36 |
| MattRyan | I didn't, will do so now. | 04:36 |
| ubuntu_newbie | no ip address under eth0 but theres a mask:255.0.0.0 under lo | 04:36 |

| charles|64 | question. when i sign my emails with gpg the signature always appends to the top. How do i make it go to the bottom? Im using thunderbird | 04:36 |
| MattRyan | Is 8.04 beta worth switching to yet? | 04:36 |

| owh | Scooma: Even if it wasn't finalised, the OS would see it and give up on it no? | 04:47 |
| Scooma | owh: run a burner software and see if it can finalize the disc | 04:48 |
| Snake | Scooma: the PC im on now, the PS3, and it works under windows dandy | 04:48 |
| owh | Scooma: Well, k3b doesn't even see it. | 04:48 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx yes it have the properties option on my wired connection | 04:48 |
| ubuntu_newbie | could you assist me with what to put there! | 04:48 |
| bazhang | owh: really depends; I have dvd's burned in linux that other linux boxes choke on same OS burned and all | 04:48 |
| Scooma | Snake: when you look at it via network manager list, do you see a lock icon next to it? | 04:48 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok, which is the IP of the machine you are in now? | 04:49 |
| ubuntu_newbie | Configuration was set to DHCP but I can choose a static ip as well | 04:49 |
| Scooma | owh: you've got me | 04:49 |
| owh | bazhang: Fabulous. Hmm, now I need to figure out how to get this movie off this disc. | 04:49 |
| owh | Scooma: That's where I was at when I came here, thanks for trying. | 04:49 |
| Snake | Scooma: no, it has a check mark and a wifi symbol | 04:49 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, choose static, and which brand is your router? | 04:49 |
| brian_ | In Remote Desktop Preferences, if I have it so that "Allow other users to view your desktop" is checked, but "Allow other users to control your desktop" isn't checked, will it be so that they can just watch what I do, or so they can access things on this computer, but I'd still have control too? | 04:49 |
| Scooma | owh: i'm sure there's a solution - don't give up. see if you can google for someone else with the same keywords as your problem | 04:49 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx this is not connected to the router! it is connected directly to internet through wireless mobile connection, but i can get the ip address of the router from the other machine | 04:50 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx it's netgear | 04:50 |
| owh | brian_: It means that they can see your desktop, but not move your mouse. | 04:50 |
| brian_ | owh: So they'd just be watching everything, they couldn't DO anything? | 04:50 |
| owh | Scooma: The thing that has me stumped is that the OS doesn't even get told there is a disc there. | 04:50 |
| owh | brian_: Yup. | 04:50 |
| netrat | hello, i'm running ubuntu 7.10 server and i'm having some trouble with IET, iscsi enterprise target, have i come to right place? | 04:50 |
| Snake | Scooma: I got it, the DNS Servers wernt set up | 04:50 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, the thing is you have to connect that laptop to your router and configure the IP address, netmask and gateway for that of the routers manages | 04:50 |
| brian_ | owh: Ok, thanks, just checkin | 04:51 |
| owh | netrat: Head over to #ubuntu-server | 04:51 |
| netrat | owh: thanks | 04:51 |
| bazhang | netrat could be; if the folks know your problem or #ubuntu-server | 04:51 |
| Scooma | owh: heres what i'm thinking: that the driver that's loaded doesn't adhere to one of the standards (red/orange book) that the disc was burnt to. but of course the dvd player does. | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx my ubuntu is connected to the router through wire, but *this* one is not | 04:51 |
| Snake | Scooma: thanks though :) | 04:51 |
| Scooma | Snake: no worries, you fixed it yourself :) | 04:51 |
| owh | bazhang: The author of iscsi lives in #u-s :) | 04:51 |
| [SuB]SparkyFlary | lol | 04:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | ubuntu_newbie, ok, but you have to use the subnet that yout router is managing... just configure the values for wired network under static mode... and enable the wired connection | 04:52 |

| bazhang | bachdung87: english please | 04:52 |
| owh | Scooma: But that stage of detection happens after the OS is told, that means I should see it in dmesg even before the driver tries to play with it. | 04:52 |
| bachdung87 | i can't | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx alright, i will get the values of the router from other machine! please stay with me | 04:53 |

| Noah0504 | hanophix33: Well, I tried reading up to see if there was anyway to extract the link from the playing video... but I still haven't given it much effort. And I looked into installing Moonlight, but I don't feel like working with it either. Still seems like it's under pretty heavy development. | 05:01 |
| owh | bruenig: That's pretty powerful software then :) | 05:01 |
| Scooma | dookdook: everything via/in the package manager works too | 05:02 |
| dookdook | scooma, so that just means a little slow-down when running 32 bit programs under emulation? | 05:02 |

| dookdook | scooma, so its pretty transparent? meaning for the most part i wouldn't even know i was running 64 bit vs. 32 bit? | 05:03 |
| Scooma | dookdook: correct | 05:03 |
| bruenig | IdleOne: I am trying to get the nicks to all align evenly so the text starts at the same place on each message, I have read through a bunch of themes and figure out how you are supposed to do it, but it is only aligning my nick and people who use my name in their message, no one else | 05:03 |
| ubuntu_newbie | RoAkSoAx thanks, can i add you in msn or other im? | 05:03 |
| Synx_hm | When i cat /dev/input/mouse0 2 or 3 i get nothing, but /proc/bus/inputs/devices shows mouse3 as m aplps touch pad, and it is infact working under X, however the twofingerscroll option i set in the xorg.conf is not | 05:03 |

| waldo | but let me at least reinstall and see if that error goes away | 05:13 |
| simplynam | to all | 05:13 |
| owh | simplynam: It depends on what you want to do. If you want to run Windows and Ubuntu side-by-side as a dual-boot, then you can resize the partitions. If you want to format your drive and just install Ubuntu, then the installer will take care of the filesystem. | 05:14 |
| netrat | waldo: check the /lib/modules directory to see if they're really gone | 05:14 |
| owh | simplynam: As I said, backup your data first. | 05:14 |

| FastZ | waldo: are you saying that the modules to make your wireless modules are gone or all modules period? do 'lsmod' and paste the output in the pastebin | 05:14 |
| FastZ | !pastebin | 05:14 |
| 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) | 05:14 |
| waldo | FastZ all modules period... lsmod won't show you because they're loaded in memory. | 05:15 |
| netrat | FastZ: he could have deleted his modules, but they're still in memory | 05:15 |
| howbeit | hi everyone | 05:15 |
| waldo | lets see if this reinstall puts 'em back | 05:15 |
| howbeit | i just installed ubuntu today for the first time | 05:15 |
| FastZ | ah, thanks waldo, netrat | 05:15 |
| IdleOne | !hi | howbeit | 05:15 |
| ubotu | howbeit: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:15 |
| howbeit | how do i enable or download compiz-fusion? | 05:16 |
| owh | howbeit: Congratulations! | 05:16 |
| waldo | FastZ FWIW-- what I was doing was trying to rebuild the modules-- and suddenly they were all gone | 05:16 |
| IdleOne | !compiz | howbeit | 05:16 |
| ubotu | howbeit: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 05:16 |
| howbeit | i can get the wobbly windows | 05:16 |
| howbeit | but i don't know how to enable that neat cube effect | 05:16 |
| howbeit | i also have that blue icon with the mouse cursor on that top tray | 05:16 |
| Jester009 | i restarted in recovery mode is there anything i can do to analyze the problem or boot the OS? It freezes while loading splash. | 05:18 |
| netrat | Jester009 run memtest | 05:18 |
| suzume | jester: are you the one who deleted the kernel modules?? | 05:19 |
| Jester009 | suzume: nope fresh install | 05:19 |
| netrat | suzume that was waldo | 05:19 |
| FastZ | howbeit: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:19 |
| owh | Jester009: If you press Alt-F1 before it freezes you can see what it's doing. | 05:19 |
| waldo | that would be me | 05:19 |
| waldo | and I'm now checking to make sure they're back | 05:19 |
| FastZ | howbeit: then you can use that program to modify your compiz settings and enable or disable certain things that compiz can do, like the desktop cube | 05:19 |
| suzume | waldo: do you have any ubuntu discs? | 05:19 |
| SeaPhor | Jester009: I had to remove quiet and splash from the kernel line in the bootloader, and put in vga=771 to get mine to work | 05:20 |
| waldo | I'm doing this all via ssh | 05:20 |
| waldo | on someone else's machine | 05:20 |
| suzume | waldo: oh :) | 05:20 |
| waldo | i just reinstalled the kernel so now checking if I can modprobe the modules | 05:20 |
| mikedoty | So I use compiz with ubuntu, and I like the EXPO plugin a lot. | 05:20 |
| mikedoty | What I would like even more | 05:20 |
| bullgard4 | Jester009: Try booting using the kernel option 'nosplash'. | 05:20 |
| mikedoty | Is if I could add a button to one of my panels | 05:20 |
| mikedoty | Whereby clicking that button would bring up EXPO | 05:20 |
| mikedoty | How could I do this? | 05:20 |
| Jester009 | bullgard4: how do i do that <---n0ob | 05:20 |
| waldo | phew!!! | 05:21 |
| owh | mikedoty: Stop pressing [Enter] to punctuate your sentences. | 05:21 |
| waldo | well i seem to be able to add modules | 05:21 |
| owh | waldo: That 'l learn ya :) | 05:21 |
| waldo | but I'm back to my wireless module not loading right problem... still big relief | 05:21 |

| waldo | gets some kind of error -22 | 05:21 |
| suzume | guys, are you experiencing some clicking sounds in ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| waldo | suzume-- clicking sounds are very bad | 05:22 |
| suzume | but in windows the hard drive is perfectly quiet? | 05:22 |
| waldo | suzume backup immediately... | 05:22 |
| tgelter | I need to buy about 500 ft of CAT 6 cable and the connectors, can someone point me to a good, cheap source? | 05:22 |
| mikedoty | Well I suppose it's easier to chastise a guy for a couple spare chat lines than to help him with his questino. With all of the questions you get in here, who am I to blame? | 05:22 |
| SeaPhor | Jester009: at the grub menu press "e" | 05:22 |
| suzume | waldo: i already done that | 05:22 |
| netrat | suzume check out smartmontools | 05:22 |
| dumlaox | can anyone help me concerning admin rights in ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| waldo | suzume-- clicking sounds means badness... expect hardrive failure soon. Also run a S.M.A.R.T. check... (google) | 05:22 |
| suzume | netrat: i did that too. the results are just fine | 05:22 |
| Jester009 | seaphor: thanks ill try that | 05:22 |
| waldo | suzume could be that linux is on noisy part of disk, but I woudln't trust it | 05:23 |
| netrat | dumlaox just ask your question. plently of people to help :-) | 05:23 |
| iTripped | hello | 05:23 |
| netrat | iTripped hi | 05:23 |
| dumlaox | I'm trying to get myself some admin rights on ubuntu. However, everytime I check the setings t do so and reboot the laptop, it fails to recognize it | 05:23 |
| suzume | waldo: i just don't know. even freebsd makes some clicking sounds when the hard drive is being accessed | 05:23 |
| waldo | well some noise is normal. CLICKING is bad. | 05:24 |
| iTripped | hey netrat, you one of the regulars in here? | 05:24 |
| dumlaox | I need the rights to install some drivers but so far, no go | 05:24 |
| waldo | !paste | 05:24 |
| 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) | 05:24 |
| Jester009 | Seaphor: do i have to create a new command line? | 05:24 |
| amenado | dumlaox-> use sudo | 05:24 |
| netrat | iTripped no not really. i'm an avid ubuntu user though | 05:24 |
| suzume | waldo: what kind of noise are you referring too? | 05:24 |
| suzume | waldo: maybe the sound that im hearing isn't qualified as a "clicking" sound? | 05:24 |
| waldo | suzume a disk reading type noise is normal.. but a click-click-click is the sound of the drive failing | 05:25 |
| iTripped | oh ok. then I'm probably here to ask you a question :) | 05:25 |
| iTripped | well that's a good start | 05:25 |
| waldo | a failing disk sounds like a thumping | 05:25 |
| iTripped | so I have an ipod.... | 05:25 |
| waldo | it's much louder than normal usage | 05:25 |
| SeaPhor | Jester009: no, arrow down to the "kernel" line and remove quiet and splash from the end | 05:25 |
| dumlaox | sorry, I'm a linux n00b here. What's sudo? | 05:25 |
| waldo | it's more "metallic"... the normal drive usage is usually smoother... | 05:25 |
| suzume | waldo: oh i see. then its not a click but a noise :) | 05:25 |
| iTripped | is there a utility on ubuntu that can extract files from an ipod? | 05:25 |
| netrat | !sudo | 05:25 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 05:25 |
| waldo | dumlaox -- sudo is basically saying that whatever comes after it is run as the root/powerful user | 05:25 |
| mikedoty | How can I add a button to one of my panels that, for instance, would have the same effect as pressing Control + V? | 05:25 |

| cpasley | Hi! I can't get my sound card to work in Gutsy, and I've tried the debugging sound fix and every other fix I could find. My soundcard isn't recognized but it shows up in lspci. Any other suggestions? | 05:26 |
| waldo | btw-- anyone familiar with the ipw2200 wireless driver and why it is suddenly sucking for me? | 05:26 |
| travisat | cpasley: what isyour soundcard | 05:26 |
| suzume | waldo: im not familiar with that. i use bcm43xx drivers :) | 05:26 |
| waldo | her'es the dmesg error I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62386/ | 05:26 |
| cpasley | Intel | 05:26 |
| suzume | waldo: how about trying to use a wrapper? | 05:26 |
| iTripped | I'm so glad I run ubuntu at home. we got hit with a windows virus at work and I think I am going to have to wipe my machine there | 05:27 |
| travisat | cpasley: intel what | 05:27 |
| waldo | suzume - it was working a week ago.. it suddenly stopped after a recent sw update..b ut not my machine so I don't know what was updated | 05:27 |
| iTripped | of course, I had my ipod synced up with the work computer to get calendar info | 05:27 |
| cpasley | Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) | 05:27 |
| iTripped | which means I could lose all of the music I have on it so far | 05:27 |
| travisat | cpasley: hmm just a sec | 05:27 |
| netrat | iTripped maybe this will help i dunno http://www.linux.com/feature/58187 | 05:27 |
| bibek | hi | 05:27 |
| howbeit | oh wow | 05:28 |
| howbeit | ok so i was able to get into compizconfig settings manager | 05:28 |
| suzume | waldo: i don't know whats the problem with that. try aptitude upgrade? maybe that will fix it? | 05:28 |
| howbeit | i enabled the desktop cube, but for some reaosn i'm only getting on plane | 05:28 |
| iTripped | so I was wondering if anyone knew of a senuti-like tool for linux that would... oh thanks netrat, I'll look into that now | 05:28 |
| waldo | upgrade what? | 05:28 |
| howbeit | how do i add more sides to the cube? | 05:28 |
| PrimoTurbo | Hey guys is there a simple clock/calander program in the repos? | 05:28 |
| psmith | Jester009: try this website http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ | 05:29 |
| iTripped | hmm | 05:29 |
| iTripped | unless I missed something, that link is about installing linux on my ipod | 05:29 |
| netrat | waldo: did you see this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623 | 05:29 |
| dumlaox | ok, one problem down, another to go | 05:29 |
| howbeit | can someone please tell me why my cube effect only has two sides? | 05:29 |
| netrat | iTripped: you want to install linux on your ipod? | 05:29 |
| mikedoty | No one knows how to assign a keyboard combination to a custom panel button in ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| iTripped | no netrat | 05:29 |
| dumlaox | so I have an Acer Aspire 5570z and I'm trying to get the wireless card to work | 05:30 |
| FastZ | howbeit: under general options, select the Desktop Size tab and change horizontal virtual size to however many sides you want | 05:30 |
| dumlaox | I got a driver online & compiled it | 05:30 |
| iTripped | I merely want to be able to sync to it so I can pull files off of it in ubuntu | 05:30 |
| howbeit | thank you fatsz | 05:30 |
| howbeit | fastz | 05:30 |
| howbeit | ;-err | 05:30 |
| waldo | netrat reading | 05:30 |
| dumlaox | after a make install command, how do I actually install the thing? | 05:30 |
| FastZ | howbeit: fatsz works | 05:30 |
| Jester009 | psmith: its on the list for mandrake and redhat. I delete quiet and splash from the kernel and now its hanging at Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd. ._. | 05:30 |
| netrat | iTripped: i'm sorry my mistake. haha try this http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu | 05:30 |
| Starnestommy | dumlaox: it should be installed, but it won't show up in the package managers | 05:30 |
| FastZ | howbeit: you might wanna join the #compiz-fusion channel too and ask compiz-related questions there | 05:31 |
| dumlaox | so how do I know that I have the wireless card working? | 05:31 |
| iTripped | tks | 05:31 |
| amenado | dumlaox-> you can connect..htats how | 05:31 |
| iTripped | I'll see how far I get with that | 05:31 |
| waldo | netrat - this is a new error from a week or so ago... i dunno if this thread will help... it's configured right I think.. | 05:31 |
| netrat | dumlaox: iwconfig | 05:31 |
| travisat | cpasley: how is it not working | 05:32 |
| amenado | dumlaox-> your access to the internet is possible if its working. | 05:32 |
| Jester009 | I dont plan on using a printer with this laptop is there any way i can disable cupsd? | 05:32 |
| dumlaox | well that's interesting | 05:32 |
| edugonch | Hello, do somebody know how to change the screen resolution in 8.04? | 05:32 |
| dumlaox | after typing iwconfig, it tells me I don't have wireless on lo and eth0 | 05:32 |
| cpasley | There's a red circle over the volume icon and when I click it it says I don't have the right GStreamer plugins or my soundcard's not configured. When I do aplay -l it says no soundcard. | 05:32 |
| amenado | Jester009-> disable via /etc/init.d/cupsys stop | 05:33 |
| Starnestommy | edugonch: #ubuntu+1 is for 8.04 support | 05:33 |
| Bax_ | in the terminal, I'm trying to cp stuff from one directory to another that are a couple of "generations" apart from their common directory. Is there a way I can copy them without having to start the address from /home? | 05:33 |
| progmanos | iTripped: amarok works great with ipods | 05:33 |
| edugonch | thanks | 05:33 |
| Jester009 | amenado: where do i type that? | 05:33 |
| iTripped | I'm sure it does - it just doesn't seem to find mine | 05:33 |
| netrat | Jester009 you don't want cups starting on bootup right? | 05:33 |
| iTripped | (I have an ipod touch) | 05:33 |
| Jester009 | netrat: yes | 05:33 |
| dumlaox | ok, hope this works. THanks for all the help, everyone | 05:33 |
| netrat | Jester009 go into /etc/rc2.d and do ls *cup* and tell me what you come back with | 05:34 |
| UbuntuWantaB | hi | 05:34 |
| amenado | Jester009-> have you ever done a tutorial on how to use linux? i believe its the right time now if you have not | 05:34 |
| iTripped | hey, if I use apt-get from the terminal, will that mess up the add/remove applications thing? | 05:34 |
| cchild | does the command 'make distclean' ruin a system | 05:34 |
| Jester009 | amenado: no i have not i would be glad to | 05:34 |
| netrat | amenado you are giving wrong instructions anyways, you need the tutorial | 05:34 |
| Starnestommy | iTripped: no, they use the sane backends | 05:34 |
| amenado | netrat wrong? come again? | 05:34 |
| travisat | cpasley: well I thought that most of those ich7 worked, hmm | 05:34 |

| iTripped | next stupid question: what is the format of the sudo command? | 05:36 |
| travisat | iTripped: sudo command | 05:36 |
| netrat | !sudo | 05:36 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 05:36 |
| cpasley | it shows up in the list | 05:36 |
| iTripped | oh so just sudo apt-get blah blah? | 05:36 |
| travisat | iTripped: yah | 05:36 |
| netrat | iTripped exactly | 05:36 |
| amenado | netrat you expect him to know how to configure those? and yes i suggested turning it off via init.d | 05:36 |

| malnilion | I'm pretty sure there used to be plugin in compiz/beryl that would do kind of like Mac OS does and show all unminimized windows on the screen so you can choose a window to switch to. You could activate it by moving your mouse to a specified corner. Does anybody know what that's called or if it still exists? | 05:37 |
| philip_ | is there anyone can help me? | 05:37 |

| UbuntuWantaB | crf: yes i have looked at that | 05:39 |
| FastZ | malnilion: someone over there might know where it's at or if it's even still available. I haven't seen it in any of the versions of compiz-fusion though | 05:40 |

| travisat | after the modprobe see if you have sound | 05:43 |
| netrat | Jester009 i didn't know you couldn't boot. all i read was something about you wanting to disable cups | 05:43 |
| crf | UbuntuWantaB. No. | 05:43 |
| Jester009 | netrat: it freezes when it gets to "Starting Common Unix Printing: cupsd" | 05:43 |

| cpasley | travisat: nope, nothing | 05:43 |
| travisat | cpasley: ah well, I don't know whats wrong those were supposed to be working for a while with no problems, what is your mobo/laptor/or what | 05:44 |
| netrat | Jester009 i highly doubt cups is causing the system to freeze. you should run a memory test. any problems with this laptop in the past? | 05:45 |
| crf | UbuntuWantaB, I would suggest posting in the forums. In the forums, make a post about what the output of the troubleshooting steps were. | 05:45 |
| malnilion | FastZ, the answer to my query was the Scale plugin, btw ;) | 05:45 |
| cpasley | What do you mean mobo/laptor? My laptop model? | 05:45 |
| travisat | cpasley: if a laptop yah | 05:45 |
| FastZ | malnilion: ah, is that in compiz-fusion? | 05:45 |

| FastZ | malnilion: interesting. thanks for letting me know what you found out about that. | 05:46 |
| travisat | cpasley: ok well the next step to figure this out is to google with your model number to see if other people are having and reported teh same issue, I looked and didn't see anything recent about 82801g intel sound | 05:46 |
| k-oz | i have a problem with 3d drivers for intel x3100 | 05:47 |
| cpasley | I didn't either. I did see something about a sound card needing to be at IRQ 5, mine says 21...but I don't know how to change it | 05:47 |

| cchild | My LAN and WLAN devices disappeared | 05:49 |
| netrat | cchild try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 05:50 |
| egc | hi all...if i want to determine my connection speed, what would be the command for that? | 05:50 |
| netrat | egc what kind of connection speed? ethernet? | 05:51 |
| iTripped | ok, this will have to be a task for another day. I'm not brave enough to push this farther without first backing up my data | 05:51 |
| iTripped | netrat, thanks for the help, I'm out for now | 05:51 |
| netrat | egc sudo ethtool eth0 | 05:52 |
| cchild | netrat, no luck | 05:54 |
| cchild | the device are missing | 05:54 |
| howbeit | now that i've got dual boot ubuntu and xp, is there a way to run xp on one of the sides of compiz fusion cube? | 05:55 |
| netrat | NooBBoon are you on Okinawa? i lived there for awhile, i worked on Kadena airbase | 05:55 |
| travisat | howbeit: not the way you want to | 05:56 |
| howbeit | travisat: do you have a link to the way you're thinking of? | 05:56 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: yes am in okinawa | 05:56 |
| travisat | howbeit: you can run xp in a virtual maching like vmware, qemu, kvm or something like that, but then having a dual boot doesn't matter | 05:57 |
| anh | hi | 05:57 |
| travisat | howbeit: if you get the vm set up right it will run fast enough for apps but no real graphic acceleration in it | 05:57 |
| deope | Hello good night everybody, does anyone knows the java package name? thank you so much. | 05:58 |
| travisat | !java | 05:58 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 05:58 |
| howbeit | well i like the dual boot to have the option of booting into xp only | 05:58 |
| deope | apt-get install sun-java6-jre , would do the trick? | 05:58 |
| howbeit | but the vmware solution sounds great for just running basic windows things quickly while switchig back and forth with linux | 05:58 |
| SeaPhor | cchild: try sudo lshw -C network | 05:58 |
| travisat | howbeit: well sure you can keep that but I don't think you can run a seperate partition safely in a vm | 05:59 |
| NooBBoon | My eth0 has stopped working reliably of late. Sometimes nothing, sometimes packet loss of 70+%, rarely fine. WiFi and wired works fine from other machines (WinXP and Gutsy). There seems to be lots of pages about this problem, but can't get it sorted. | 05:59 |
| travisat | howbeit: well that isn't worded correctly I don't think you can run an already installed windows safely in a vm | 05:59 |
| tifine | I am getting this error message whenever i try to open something KLanucher couldnt reached via DCOP | 05:59 |
| howbeit | ahhh | 05:59 |
| travisat | howbeit: I really wish you could run 2 oses at the same time with full hardware resources and do what you say have one on one side of the cube and be able to for example play a game in windows and still have a full linux enviroment for the rest of the computer usage | 06:00 |
| deope | !sources | 06:00 |
| ubotu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 06:00 |
| N3WFI3 | are all the games for linux crap lol | 06:01 |
| N3WFI3 | i want a good one | 06:01 |
| tifine | how to restart a process ? | 06:01 |
| travisat | N3WFI3: no there are some good ones, lots of stuff from ID works good in linux | 06:01 |
| tifine | like klauncher ? | 06:01 |
| travisat | N3WFI3: check out happypenquin.org | 06:01 |
| kindofabuzz | some of the best games are for linux | 06:02 |
| travisat | or happypenguin.org if you can spell correctly | 06:02 |
| asdfgh | hkitfoyuoyu | 06:02 |
| SeaPhor | N3WFI3: I play COH, WOW, Starwars jedi academy, delta force 3/4, and many others | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | world of padman! | 06:02 |
| ouellettesr | hello i have an old compaq, and the onboard nic or the pci nic are not working | 06:02 |
| travisat | N3WFI3: also wine works for a lot games well it can just be fiddly to set up and every time wine upgrades it has a chance to break support | 06:02 |
| ouellettesr | can anyone help me get them working | 06:03 |
| deope | how can I select all the text on the sources.list | 06:03 |
| joanki | how can i show the temp of my computer on my panel? | 06:03 |
| netrat | NooBBoon what nic are you running? | 06:03 |
| N3WFI3 | i would just like to try a nice fps on linux :) | 06:03 |
| travisat | joanki: sensors-applet and lmsensors | 06:03 |
| deope | !java | 06:03 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 06:03 |
| snuck | I installed emrald and removed. Now I dont have any buttons to close and minimize my windows | 06:04 |
| snuck | can anyone help? | 06:04 |
| joanki | travisat, how do i get that? | 06:04 |
| joanki | which one is better? | 06:04 |
| travisat | joanki: you need both and you can get them with apt | 06:04 |
| travisat | joanki: or synaptic | 06:04 |
| joanki | sudo apt-get install sensors-applet | 06:04 |
| joanki | sudo.... lmsensors? | 06:04 |
| howbeit | what is the winamp of linux? | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | snuck: metacity --replace | 06:04 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: Realtekrtl8111/8168B PCI express gigabt ethernet controller (it is on motherboard) | 06:04 |
| joanki | that was for you travisat | 06:05 |
| howbeit | i.e. what is the mp3 player that most linux users use? | 06:05 |
| deope | how can I select all the text of the sources.list | 06:05 |
| travisat | joanki: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet | 06:05 |
| Starnestommy | deope: in which editor? | 06:05 |
| snuck | thanks kindofabuzz | 06:05 |
| joanki | thanks | 06:05 |
| travisat | joanki: then run sudo sensors-detect | 06:05 |
| bruenig | so I think I figured out this irssi thing, if someone would please use my name in a /me | 06:05 |
| travisat | joanki: then modprobe the stuff that needs to get in or restart the computer if you aren't comfortable doing that | 06:05 |
| deope | Starnestommy: well I would like to open it in something like a notepad | 06:05 |
| Starnestommy | deope: run 'gksudo gedit' in a terminal then edit it from there | 06:06 |
| travisat | joanki: then right click on the panel click add to panel find the sensors applet and set it up | 06:06 |
| * amenado bruenig hello | 06:06 | |
| Starnestommy | deope: or 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' | 06:06 |
| * nickrud sees bruenig | 06:06 | |
| * bruenig was wrong in his confidence | 06:06 | |
| deope | Starnestommy: awesome | 06:06 |
| netrat | NooBBoon have you tried passing the pci=nomsi to the kernel on boot? | 06:07 |
| joanki | thank you travisat i guess i'll just reboot now | 06:07 |
| netrat | NooBBoon it's a bug in the 2.6.22 kernel according to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/141343 | 06:07 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: no, i have only messed about with things once booted up | 06:07 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: oh! let me check that bug then | 06:07 |
| cchild | netrat, it was just knetworkmanager not seeing the device am not connect using traditional ifup method | 06:07 |
| netrat | NooBBoon passing pci=nomsi to the kernel should fix the problem | 06:08 |
| ouellettesr | can anyone help me getting the internet to work on this old compaq? | 06:08 |
| ermans | hola | 06:08 |
| ermans | alguien que hable castellano? | 06:08 |
| deope | ermans: ve a #ubuntu-es | 06:09 |
| ermans | sep no? | 06:09 |
| ermans | '< | 06:09 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: thank you! i will try that and see | 06:09 |
| ermans | ok thx | 06:09 |
| deope | por nada | 06:09 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> can you acquire an ip address? what is your network layout? | 06:09 |
| cchild | I meant to say am now connected using ifup method | 06:09 |
| netrat | NooBBoon: okay hope it does | 06:09 |
| deope | Starnestommy: could you check my sources.list for me? | 06:10 |
| Starnestommy | deope: pastebin it | 06:10 |
| deope | Starnestommy: sure | 06:10 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, i cant ping the router, I have an old compaq 5190 with onboard lan, and I have a pci nic as well neither of them work, i have notices something i have never seen before and that is an etho:avah | 06:10 |
| deope | Starnestommy: http://www.jashdjahsjd.pastebin.com/m2dbc58aa | 06:11 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> can you describe your network layout? which device is providing ip addresses? dhcp server? | 06:11 |
| Starnestommy | deope: is that working or not? | 06:11 |
| deope | Starnestommy: yes I wanna know if everything is correct | 06:11 |
| Starnestommy | deope: looks like it | 06:12 |
| deope | how do I update all? | 06:12 |
| deope | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , is that correct Starnestommy ? | 06:12 |
| Starnestommy | deope: I think so | 06:12 |
| ouellettesr | amendo, the router is running a dhcp server, and the pc is set to dhcp, i have tried static as well but that doesnt work | 06:13 |
| joanki | travisat, which one do i want to add to panel again? | 06:13 |
| travisat | joanki: hardware sensors | 06:13 |
| deope | Starnestommy: how do I install java from the command line? | 06:13 |
| joanki | wow cool | 06:13 |
| joanki | three different temperatures | 06:13 |
| bulwynkl | daft question of the moment... how do I mount a ntfs device such that it mounts automatically on boot? | 06:13 |
| bulwynkl | I've done this in the past for another HDD mount. I know I could just cut/paste the previous ntfs entry in fstab from my last , but that is not what I want to know. I want to know what gnome utility I should use to do it... | 06:13 |
| joanki | this is even BETTER than the one i had | 06:13 |
| Starnestommy | deope: I don't know how to do it in edgy | 06:13 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> are your cat5 cables good? can you ping localhost? 127.0.0.1? | 06:13 |
| deope | Starnestommy: ok thanks for your time | 06:13 |
| travisat | joanki: if one isn't showing right you can right click and in preferences you can remove it, I get one wrong temp | 06:14 |
| joanki | what do you mean you got one wrong temp? | 06:14 |
| ouellettesr | deope your sources.list looks fine to me | 06:14 |
| travisat | joanki: it was -12 | 06:14 |
| joanki | hah | 06:14 |
| joanki | how do i get it only to show one temperature? | 06:14 |
| Shrugz | what besides wine do you folk's recommend for windows emulation? | 06:14 |
| deope | ouellettesr: thank you! | 06:14 |
| joanki | three is cool, but they keep changing - distracting | 06:14 |
| travisat | joanki: as I said right click hit preference | 06:14 |
| joanki | ohhhh i see | 06:15 |
| nickrud | deope if you want java6, uncomment lines 26 & 27 (take out the #'s) and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 06:15 |
| n2diy | Shrugz: Vista? | 06:15 |
| travisat | joanki: if you need more help ask | 06:15 |
| nurzi | drtgdrt | 06:15 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, yes cables are known to be good, and i can ping localhost | 06:15 |
| Erickj92 | what is a nice organization program? kinda like windows calendar, only i dont want it to suck. :) | 06:15 |
| joanki | can i just show the temperature of the cpu travisat ? i am in preferences and i don't see the options to choose that | 06:15 |
| Shrugz | anything vista xp anything else i may be able to use on ubuntu besides wine for useing exicutable files nurzi | 06:16 |
| SuperQ | Erickj92: I just use goog calendar :) | 06:16 |
| nickrud | Erickj92 never used windows calendar but evolution has a usable calendar | 06:16 |
| travisat | joanki: click on the sensors tab, expand the triangle and unclick what you don't want | 06:16 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> does your nic have an ip address assigned? what is the ip address assigned? | 06:16 |
| joanki | awww there it is | 06:16 |
| joanki | the thing i should care bout is cpu, right? | 06:16 |
| travisat | Erickj92: another option is sunbird | 06:16 |
| joanki | not core1 and core 2 | 06:16 |
| Erickj92 | i see thanks nickrud, and SuperQ, i never thought of that. i use g-mail everyday on windows | 06:16 |
| ouellettesr | Shrugz, if your looking for emulation, wine is your best bet | 06:16 |
| Erickj92 | thank you to travisat | 06:16 |
| travisat | joanki: your choice they mean different things | 06:16 |
| joanki | k | 06:17 |
| travisat | joanki: normally though you can go by the cpu temp for an average temp | 06:17 |
| Shrugz | yeah ouellettesr i been useing wine but its been on the fritz for me that's why im asking if theres anything else besides that i can use | 06:17 |
| joanki | thanks SO much! | 06:17 |
| ouellettesr | amendo, etho doesnt have an address, but etho:avah has 169.254.7.9 and i have no idea what avah is | 06:17 |
| travisat | Shrugz: run windows in a virtual machine | 06:18 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> avahi is the new auto config thing... can you assign a static ip address to your nic? | 06:18 |
| Shrugz | vm hummm? | 06:18 |
| SuperQ | Erickj92: http://johnnyjacob.wordpress.com/2006/04/30/google-calendar-in-evolution/ | 06:18 |
| ouellettesr | Shrugz, i havent heard of anything better than wine, but you could always run a virtual machine, although it may be overkill | 06:18 |
| Shrugz | ok | 06:18 |
| nickrud | wine = will increase negativity exponentially | 06:19 |
| Shrugz | well ive gotten crossover pro to work on here before but it never wants to work | 06:19 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: I'm afraid pci=nomsi did NOT work. I think i will try the drivers from the realtek site? | 06:19 |
| joanki | virtualbox HOGS my system | 06:19 |
| ouellettesr | amendo, i can to eth0, but it wont let me configure eth0:avah | 06:19 |
| deope | hello everybody good night, does anyone knows how to install java?? thank you. | 06:19 |
| travisat | if your computer supports kvm, if you want to do normal windows stuff like office/photoshop it works good with kvm | 06:19 |
| Shrugz | to slow to install a program or even run one | 06:19 |
| nickrud | deope if you want java6, uncomment lines 26 & 27 (take out the #'s) and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 06:19 |

| ouellettesr | amendo, i set it to static, and still nothing | 06:22 |
| howbeit | what's the "winamp" of linux? | 06:22 |
| howbeit | is it kaffeine? | 06:22 |
| Shrugz | you will half to excuse me travisat im fairly new to linux/ubuntu/debian i was used to windows i makeing the transition with out haveing a duel boot and haveing a huge culture shock to it so im paceing my self | 06:22 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo install ubuntu-restricted-extras , it gets you mp3 support plus some other useful stuff | 06:22 |
| travisat | howbeit: there is no "winamp" of linux, it might be xmms, but there are so many audio players it is personal choice | 06:22 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> nick is amenado.. what is the ip address you assigned? and what is still nothing meant? | 06:22 |
| ouellettesr | lol sorry | 06:23 |
| travisat | Shrugz: no problem, I am always happy to see new people trying linux | 06:23 |
| unop | redwhitewaldo, for i in good bad ugly; do sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-$i; done | 06:23 |
| nickrud | Shrugz nothing like diving right in. Like language immersion, you'll learn fast :) | 06:23 |
| redwhitewaldo | nickrud: oh, i see. what's the diff between ubuntu-restricted-extras and gstream extra plugins or gstreamer ffmpeg video ? | 06:23 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, still nothing means still no internet.. I assigned an ip of 192.1.68.1.107, 255.255.255.0, 192.1.68.1.1 | 06:24 |
| Synx_hm | Anyone got the synaptics driver working with an Alps... it works but it X keeps finding it on its own and not using what i have assigned in the config file | 06:24 |
| Shrugz | well a good friend of mine introduced me to ubuntu bugged me for 6 months before i finaly got on it. he said he helped impliment the java into ubuntu he go's by the name of chris he has been a big help to me makeing the transition travisat | 06:24 |
| travisat | ubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta packaget that installs a bunch of different packages, some are not "free" but it also has regular packages in it | 06:24 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo the extras is a meta package. If you type apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras , you'll see what packages it is defined as depending on. When you install extras, the depended upon packages will be installed. | 06:24 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> assigning an ip address does not give you access to internet..what is your route table looked liked? paste it please.. route -n | 06:25 |
| redwhitewaldo | so extras gets many packages. it will get many other stuff all at once, correct? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo yes. | 06:25 |
| redwhitewaldo | will it "clog" up my computer?, nickrud? | 06:25 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, assigning an ip has always worked to get internet before | 06:25 |
| ouellettesr | lol | 06:25 |
| Shrugz | lol yeah nickrud ive learned alot im used to running box's so i had a semi understanding of linux such as running a web hosting service and what not so i got the gist of it almost plus i love all the php tools that i can get with this makes it alot easyer for me to make mmorpg games | 06:25 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: the new driver SEEMS to have worked. I followed these steps: http://my.opera.com/knuthy/blog/2007/09/10/network-problemhttp://my.opera.com/knuthy/blog/2007/09/10/network-problem | 06:25 |
| travisat | redwhitewaldo: I have never clogged up linux, just my home directory | 06:26 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo no, if you do the apt-get it will tell you how much will be downloaded | 06:26 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> without a good route, you will not be able to get access to the internet | 06:26 |
| deope | nickrud: says there is no package: sun-java6-jre | 06:26 |
| redwhitewaldo | nickrud: it won't make my ram work harder? | 06:26 |
| netrat | NooBBoon: good to hear! | 06:26 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo and on the clogging issue, I have 12gb root partition and never get close | 06:26 |
| travisat | redwhitewaldo: nah | 06:26 |
| che | hye guys, when i use the firefox, fonts are usually looks ugly? why it's like this ? | 06:26 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo no | 06:26 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo just because you've put stuff on the drive, doesn't mean its always in ram | 06:27 |
| howbeit | what file sharing programs are there for linux? | 06:27 |
| howbeit | ex. limewire | 06:27 |
| nickrud | deope put your sources.list back up on pastebin | 06:27 |
| travisat | howbeit: lots | 06:27 |
| redwhitewaldo | ok. i'm just coming from a windows mindset, where the more "programs" a windows user installs, the slower it seems the computer gets everytime one logs on. | 06:27 |
| deope | nickrud: ok | 06:27 |
| deope | nickrud: how was to open it? gesk gedit ? | 06:27 |
| deope | or how? | 06:27 |
| yaser | quick and easy question: Im doing "sudo chmod u+rw /home/shared/*", then when i look for permissions of a file in /home/shared folder, i find that user group has only access permission and not write permissions, whats wrong here? | 06:27 |
| nickrud | deope gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:28 |
| howbeit | how can i add more programs to the applications add/remove list? | 06:28 |
| deope | rgiht | 06:28 |
| travisat | yaser: andd -R to the chown | 06:28 |
| nickrud | howbeit those are predefined; you can see all possible packages in system->admin->synaptic package manager | 06:28 |
| travisat | yaser: so sudo chmod -R u+rw etc | 06:28 |
| che | when i use the firefox, fonts are usually look like ugly , why it's like this? | 06:28 |
| yaser | travisat, i tried that and nothing | 06:28 |
| howbeit | thanks nickrud | 06:28 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: one final question. the page i was followng says to edit MODULES /etc/rc.conf, but i don't have that file? | 06:29 |

| nickrud | deope did the exact same two things yesterday, deja vu all over again ;) | 06:32 |
| travisat | yaser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod | 06:32 |
| netrat | NooBBoon no it shouldn't, as long as you did everything else | 06:32 |
| Parsec300 | howbeit, yes, it's very nice, especially if you have a system that happens to work out-of-the-box. | 06:32 |
| Fr|0z3n | Hello, can someone tell me how to change the boot order of my computer? | 06:33 |
| yaser | travisat, thanks very much | 06:33 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: alrght then, i will reboot and try! | 06:33 |
| Y-Town | thank you | 06:33 |
| jaffarkelshac | Fr|0z3n, you need to do it in bios | 06:33 |
| Parsec300 | Fr|0z3n, it should be in your BIOS setup | 06:33 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo yes, its like a font registry, lets the fonts become available to a bunch of apps | 06:33 |
| netrat | Fr|0z3n edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 06:33 |

| Erickj92 | in evolution, how do i update my on the web calendar from google? | 06:33 |
| deope | nickrud: says an error on gconf-editor | 06:33 |
| Fr|0z3n | and how do I change my bios setup? | 06:33 |
| nickrud | deope must be a typo | 06:33 |
| netrat | Y-Town /dev/sda <-- will be the hard drive in question, it could be /dev/hda too, be sure you have the right device | 06:34 |
| Parsec300 | Fr|0z3n, some motherboards allow you to select the bootdrive on startup if you press F11 for example. | 06:34 |
| deope | gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop | 06:34 |
| deope | is correct? | 06:34 |
| redwhitewaldo | nickrud: ok. thanks. i'll find out how to install defoma later | 06:34 |
| Fr|0z3n | lemme try | 06:34 |

| redwhitewaldo | . | 06:34 |

| deope | nickrud: i did, bash: gconf-editor: orden no encontrada | 06:35 |
| redwhitewaldo | nickrud: what happens if i don't install x-ttcidfont-conf package? does that mean "no msttcorefonts"? | 06:35 |
| nickrud | deope are you using ubuntu, or kubuntu ? kubuntu, I don't know | 06:35 |
| deope | nickrud: xubuntu, sorry | 06:35 |
| deope | are not the same commands? | 06:36 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: alright! seems to work even after a reboot! thanks so much for the help! | 06:36 |
| netrat | NooBBoon: glad i could help | 06:37 |
| nickrud | redwhitewaldo that package does some configs on ttf fonts to make them available to older apps, gnome and firefox will see msttcorefonts (like arial) just fine | 06:37 |
| netrat | NooBBoon there is a LUG on okinawa | 06:37 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, http://pastebin.org/28015 | 06:37 |
| nickrud | deope no, gconf is for setting up the gnome desktop, I'm not sure how to do it in xubuntu | 06:38 |
| netrat | NooBBoon http://okinawalug.com/ | 06:38 |
| NooBBoon | netrat: hey thanks! that is good info! i will check it out! | 06:38 |
| D0c5i5 | can grub boot from a usb stick as a usb flash device (not emulated) if I kickstart it from a floppy or from the same usb stick that supports fdd boot? (i want to put grub on a small fdd partition at the front of the stick, and the balance of my image on the back half of the stick) | 06:39 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> this wont work because you assigned 192.1.68.1.107 to your nic, different subnet from what you pasted | 06:39 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, nope i changed the subnet, it is 192.168.0.107 | 06:41 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> try to assign a 192.168.0.x instead | 06:41 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, i changed my routers ip to 192.168.0.110 | 06:42 |

| ouellettesr | ay | 06:42 |
| ouellettesr | gay | 06:42 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> am confused now, what exactly is the ip address assigned now to your eth0 ? | 06:42 |
| ouellettesr | 192.168.0.107 | 06:43 |
| ouellettesr | sorry | 06:43 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> try to ping 192.168.0.107 and then 192.168.0.110 | 06:43 |
| amenado | if you cant, your cable is bad or nic card has gone bad.. | 06:44 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, i can ping 192.168.0.107, but not .110 | 06:44 |
| howbeit | is there a shortcut to opening up a terminal window? | 06:44 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> no blinking led indicators? then most likely a bad cable, try it with a working one..swapp them if possible | 06:45 |
| ouellettesr | howbeit, its disabled by default, you hav to set it | 06:45 |
| cwillu | howbeit, alt+f2 will give you a run prompt, if that's useful | 06:46 |
| burepe | I am trying to manually partition and I don't know what mount point to put for a fat32 partition. I have the ubuntu ext3 at / and then swap. Where does do I mount extra partitions? | 06:46 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, yeah the cable works, i pulled it from a working computer, it must be the nics | 06:46 |
| ouellettesr | they are old | 06:46 |
| cwillu | crossover? | 06:46 |
| cwillu | ouellettesr, is it a crossover cable? | 06:46 |
| Ishbibenob | does anyone know where I would go for troubleshooting questions? | 06:46 |
| cwillu | right here | 06:47 |
| ahyuwhiye | ((: | 06:47 |
| ouellettesr | howbeit, system>preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts and set a shortcut | 06:47 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> well you know how to test for a bad cable...if this was the onboard, use the pci, see if that works | 06:47 |
| ahyuwhiye | debian-de | 06:47 |
| ahyuwhiye | oups | 06:47 |
| Ishbibenob | My kid pushed a bunch of buttons on my keyboard and now compiz wont work, and the computer freezes up when I try to log out. also seems to be real slow | 06:47 |
| Ishbibenob | The computer seemed to go into some kind of sleep mode | 06:47 |
| ouellettesr | cwillu, yes it is a crossover cable but my router changes to the type of cable | 06:48 |
| wor6c | hmm | 06:48 |
| cwillu | ouellettesr, k, it sounded like you were going nic to nic | 06:48 |
| ouellettesr | nop | 06:48 |
| wor6c | Ishbibenob: can you try this in console: sudo reboot now | 06:49 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, yeah there is a pci, and onboard, i have tried both of them | 06:49 |
| cwillu | Ishbibenob, does the capslock light still turn on and off? | 06:49 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> you can also test with mii-tool | 06:49 |
| wor6c | Ishbibenob: it will reboot, that will probably fix it | 06:49 |
| Ishbibenob | My computer doesnt have a caps lock light, just the button | 06:49 |
| cwillu | is it a black screen? | 06:49 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, it says no MII interfaces found | 06:50 |
| cwillu | ouellettesr, sudo it | 06:50 |
| Ishbibenob | I have done several reboots and still doesnt fix the prob | 06:50 |
| wor6c | oh I see | 06:50 |
| Ishbibenob | It has always worked in the past, so whatever he did, messed something up | 06:50 |
| Ishbibenob | I guess that is obvious | 06:51 |
| wor6c | right | 06:51 |
| wor6c | hmmm | 06:51 |
| cwillu | Ishbibenob, you're gonna have to give us more information, what's on the screen right now, etc; I'm not gonna start trying to read your mind :p | 06:51 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, cwillu, eth0 100 Mbit, half duplex, no link | 06:51 |
| Ishbibenob | anyway, I have tried to go into the desktop effects and enable, but it wont do it | 06:51 |
| netrat | Ishbibenob sounds strange... | 06:51 |
| burepe | What do I put for a mount point for a fat32 partition? | 06:51 |
| wor6c | Compiz config messed up.... | 06:51 |
| Ishbibenob | I have checked the forums and found people who have trouble running gnome, but mine has always worked like a dream | 06:51 |
| netrat | burepe whatever you want to mount it... maybe /mnt/fat32 | 06:52 |
| Ishbibenob | Checked the config and it all looks good, not sure what I am looking for | 06:52 |
| cwillu | Ishbibenob, describe the problem more | 06:52 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, cwillu, if i unplug the cable from the pci and run that command again it says no-link | 06:52 |
| cwillu | netrat, /media/fat32 you mean; /mnt isn't really the place for those, despite the name | 06:52 |
| Kommwths | hello guys:) can someone help me to confiqure my bluetooth hardware(onboard)? | 06:53 |
| burepe | netrat will it make the directory? is there a standard one? | 06:53 |
| ouellettesr | maybe the pci card is causing conflicts with the onboard | 06:53 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> pci? i thought you were working with the on-board nic? | 06:53 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, i have both, and have been trying both with everything | 06:53 |
| netrat | burepe no there is no standard directory, you'll have to create it first. use /media/fat32 as cwillu suggested | 06:53 |
| burepe | thanks | 06:53 |
| Ishbibenob | When he pushed the buttons, it seemed to try to go into sleep mode, when it did that it restored without any compiz effects and my screenlet layer was at the forefront as if the effect had been turned off. I tried restarting which led to the freeze which i worked around by typing sudo poweroff, after several of those The computer seems to be lagging and freezing at will | 06:54 |
| netrat | burepe welcome | 06:54 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> are you saying using same ip address on both? | 06:54 |
| Ishbibenob | I have never used sleep mode, so I am not sure if that is what happened or not | 06:54 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, yes, there is only one ip to set and that is eth0, there is no eth1 | 06:54 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> what? having both the onboard and the pci card? | 06:55 |
| Ishbibenob | I went in and reinstalled the compiz package which did nothing | 06:55 |
| loquitus_of_borg | hey people. I am getting an error when I run configure for an app I am building. it says that ./config.sub is not found. how so'? | 06:55 |

| cwillu | Ishbibenob, what does it do after a reboot? | 06:56 |
| amenado | ouellettesr-> then do you know if thats the onboard or the pci? | 06:56 |
| sebastorama | program specified minimum size: <- wanna change this value.. | 06:56 |

| brian | If I'm on Ubuntu, and using VNC to control another Ubuntu computer, can I save a file I find on the other computer to mine? | 06:57 |
| cwillu | Ishbibenob, if you turn off all desktop effects in system | preferences | appearance? | 06:57 |
| amenado | brian you can scp it over | 06:57 |
| netrat | brian that isn't a function of VNC | 06:57 |
| Ishbibenob | When he pushed the button it required me to sign back in almost like I had signed out, but the boxes were solid black and had a funny look to them | 06:57 |
| brian | amenado: :D Whats scp? And how might I do that? | 06:57 |
| netrat | !scp | 06:57 |
| ubotu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 06:57 |
| cwillu | brian, what os on the two machines? | 06:58 |
| amenado | brian-> secure copy | 06:58 |
| ouellettesr | amenado, its the pci, when i have it pluggen into pci, i type, mii-tool, and it says: eth0 100 Mbit, half duplex, no link..... But if i unplug the pci and type mii-tool it says: no link | 06:58 |
| brian | netrat: Ah, dang. Just started using it today, don't really know much about it :P Thought I'd ask | 06:58 |
| brian | amenado: Ah, ok :) How do I do that? | 06:58 |
| netrat | brian that's okay... | 06:58 |
| brian | cwillu: Ubuntu. 7.04 on one, 7.10 on the other | 06:58 |

| roxahris | see you next month, when I decide I want to install it, then | 07:07 |
| cwillu | Ishbibenob, don't worry about the mac, just handy if you can be talking and resetting things at the same time | 07:07 |
| Ishbibenob | after I do that, then what? | 07:07 |
| cwillu | log in | 07:07 |
| Ishbibenob | I see | 07:07 |
| leonbrussels | roxahris well, put the cd in start your pc and if you like do an install | 07:07 |
| Ishbibenob | ok | 07:08 |
| vbhide | hi there! i've tried a LOT to get my laptop to connect to a wpa encrypted network, nothing works! i'm now trying wicd... any tips? | 07:08 |
| Antoni1 | тут по-русски будут говорить? | 07:08 |
| Ishbibenob | cwillu, how do you log out from command line? | 07:08 |
| cwillu | Ishbibenob, ugly way to do it is to just hit ctrl+alt+backspace (which will kill the display server, and any open programs with no further prompts) | 07:09 |
| blue-frog | !ru Antoni1 | 07:09 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ru antoni1 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:09 |

| cromag | np | 07:12 |
| ishbibenob | alright changed the session | 07:13 |
| cwillu | how is that one working? | 07:13 |
| ishbibenob | let me try the effects and log out | 07:13 |
| ishbibenob | still locks up when I try to restart | 07:14 |
| nogh | Hi | 07:14 |
| ishbibenob | or sign out | 07:14 |

| cwillu | you didn't just enable effects did you? | 07:14 |
| ishbibenob | no | 07:14 |
| cwillu | good :p | 07:14 |
| ishbibenob | just tried pushing the log out button | 07:14 |
| cwillu | mouse stopped moving? | 07:14 |
| arvind_khadri | hi,am not able to get complete text in kannada | 07:14 |
| vbhide | sorry... exited by mistake... do i have to configure wpa_supplicant before using wpa? | 07:14 |
| ishbibenob | mouse works good | 07:15 |
| cwillu | vbhide, define 'configure' | 07:15 |
| friedtofu | anyone able to send me their "Times" font? | 07:15 |
| cwillu | vbhide, should be point and click (it'll ask for a password, etc) | 07:15 |
| vbhide | go to the wpasupplicant.conf file and change some stuff | 07:15 |
| BottledHate | i have a laptop with windows installed curerntly, i don't want to damage that install. i have free partions on the drives(2).. is the install cd able to install to a separate partition while acheiving full dual boot without third party software? can the dual boot be easily removed? | 07:15 |
| cwillu | vbhide, you shouldn't need to edit anything, unless your card doesn't work by default, or you need it to work without a logged in session | 07:15 |
| arvind_khadri | blocks show up in between | 07:15 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, what locks up when you hit logout? | 07:16 |
| redwhitewaldo | what's the diff between xubuntu-restricted-codecs and ubuntu-restricted-codecs? | 07:16 |
| arvind_khadri | hi,am not able to get complete text in kannada,blocks show up in between.... | 07:16 |
| vbhide | i tried everything that a newbie could... i'm trying wicd now | 07:16 |
| ishbibenob | everything, cant choose the applications/places/system menus or click any desktop item, unless I push escape | 07:16 |
| ishbibenob | then it frees it up | 07:16 |
| vbhide | hi arvind, have you instaled kannada in the language support? | 07:17 |
| Survivorman | thats sounds like some crazy compiz modifier key issue | 07:17 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, we're talking about something other than the prompt that pops up when you hit the logout button? | 07:17 |
| ishbibenob | the prompt does not show up when I hit the log out button | 07:17 |
| ishbibenob | There may be other things that could freeze it, but that is the one that I noticed, I wait for the prompt and nothing | 07:18 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, create a new user (System | administration | users, make it a desktop user, simple password, etc) | 07:18 |
| ishbibenob | ok | 07:18 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, and then logout (ctrl+alt+backspace or whatever), and log in under that user | 07:18 |

| redwhitewaldo | folks, how do i remove everything that ubuntu-restricted-codecs installed? | 07:19 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, with considerable pain and suffering :p | 07:20 |
| Stroganoff | redwhitewaldo why would you wanna do that? | 07:20 |
| Survivorman | sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras redwhitewaldo | 07:20 |
| arvind_khadri | vbhide, how do i do that...sorry didnt see ur reply | 07:20 |
| Survivorman | he wants to install the xubuntu ones | 07:20 |
| Survivorman | xubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:21 |
| redwhitewaldo | Survivorman: that doesn't remove the 20 megs of packages. only the 29 kb of the meta package. | 07:21 |
| cwillu | Survivorman, that won't get rid of dependencies | 07:21 |
| arvind_khadri | vbhide, i got it | 07:21 |
| jaffarkelshac | i know ubuntu allows multi loggin so far i know (telnet -not secure, and openssh-secure) what other protocols are available | 07:21 |
| redwhitewaldo | Stroganoff: because i want to install the xubuntu-restricted-codecs instead. | 07:21 |
| Survivorman | cwillu, is there any real difference in the metapackages? | 07:21 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, use aptitude, it should offer to uninstall the dependencies as well | 07:21 |
| cwillu | Survivorman, just look at what they install in synaptic (open dependencies on each one) | 07:21 |
| Survivorman | okay cwillu, thanks. | 07:22 |
| Stroganoff | redwhitewaldo: purge the packages listed here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:22 |
| Stroganoff | sudo apt-get purge PACKAGE | 07:22 |
| redwhitewaldo | Stroganoff: but that's just about 14 packages. my install put in 39 packages | 07:22 |
| unop_ | jaffarkelshac, you could say that someone accessing a webserver on your machine is 'logging on' .. so technically, if your computer is networked and other computers access it, users can log in in all sorts of ways | 07:22 |
| Stroganoff | redwhitewaldo: sudo apt-get autoremove | 07:22 |
| n-iCe | hello good night, question, how do I change the file attributes to executable | 07:22 |
| snowolf | n-iCe: chmod +x file | 07:23 |
| n-iCe | thanks | 07:23 |
| snowolf | (from terminal) | 07:23 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, the only difference is the gstreamer plugins, which are probably useful to have around anyway | 07:23 |
| Stroganoff | n-iCe have you been able to find your password? | 07:23 |
| ishbibenob | cwillu, that worked, at least I am able click log out and it gives the prompt | 07:23 |
| n-iCe | Stroganoff I re-installed | 07:24 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, okay | 07:24 |
| Stroganoff | n-iCe that was not necessary | 07:24 |
| n-iCe | worked :p | 07:24 |
| ishbibenob | only problem I guess would be that all my user setting and everything are on the other, what would be the best thing to do? | 07:24 |
| Stroganoff | next time mind case sensitivity ;) | 07:24 |
| n-iCe | how Do I get the autopackage support? | 07:24 |
| redwhitewaldo | cwillu: gstreamer plugins are in the U-restricetd-extras or in the xubunu-restircetd-extras? | 07:24 |
| n-iCe | :| | 07:24 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy oh I did | 07:24 |
| redwhitewaldo | Stroganoff: your advice doesn't work | 07:24 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, u | 07:24 |
| J-Unit | plz i have an oral for tomorrow and im very sleepy i need a text to mp3 (or any other audio extention) program to read it to me wile i have my eyes closed | 07:25 |
| redwhitewaldo | and what's the gstreamer plugins good for? if they're good, how come Xubuntu doesn't have them? | 07:25 |
| Stroganoff | redwhitewaldo: have you any problems with ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 07:25 |
| redwhitewaldo | because they're a memory hog? | 07:25 |
| redwhitewaldo | Stroganoff: no. i just thought that since i'm on xubuntu, i should get the xubuntu-restricted-extras package | 07:25 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, things aren't loaded into memory unless they're being used generally | 07:25 |
| n-iCe | how Do I get the autopackage support? I need it, trying to run the executable I get that,telling me for the autopackage | 07:26 |
| J-Unit | isnt there any ubuntu text to sound software?? | 07:26 |
| redwhitewaldo | cwillu: so the gsteramer-plugins file(s) would only be loaded when i have a media player progam running? | 07:26 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit: espeak | 07:26 |
| Survivorman | redwhitewaldo, maybe it depends on the intended programs using them, since xubuntu and ubuntu use different apps as defaults | 07:26 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, yes | 07:26 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, in repositories? | 07:26 |
| Stroganoff | yep | 07:26 |
| ishbibenob | cwillu, should I swap all my info then delete the other user, what do you think? | 07:26 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, thinking | 07:26 |
| ishbibenob | ok | 07:26 |
| ishbibenob | thanks | 07:27 |
| redwhitewaldo | ok. well, what do i do now? I did a "remove" of ubuntu-restricted-extras package, yet all the other packages it installed are still on my computer. | 07:27 |
| n-iCe | brb rebootingh | 07:27 |
| redwhitewaldo | ? | 07:27 |
| n-iCe | rebooting | 07:27 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, the tricky thing being that your username shows up in various places in the profile, so just copying either profile to the other will probably break other things in weird and wonderful ways | 07:27 |
| redwhitewaldo | cwillu: oh, btw, i'm on 8.04. 8-) | 07:27 |
| ishbibenob | hmm, I see | 07:27 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, synaptic says i have it installed alredy!!!!! were is it? | 07:27 |
| cybits | hy | 07:27 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, I know, I was checking the 8.04 repo's when I told you that | 07:27 |
| redwhitewaldo | cwillu: 8-) | 07:28 |
| * cwillu knows all :p | 07:28 | |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit: terminal: espeak --help | 07:28 |
| redwhitewaldo | cwillu: how'd u know? | 07:28 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, its a terminal program?? | 07:28 |
| cwillu | I have my ways | 07:28 |
| cwillu | the fact that you were in #ubuntu+1 was the more obvious way though :p | 07:28 |
| redwhitewaldo | ha ha | 07:28 |
| tdo | irc.whatnet.org | 07:28 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit yes | 07:29 |
| cwillu | redwhitewaldo, it's only a handful of packages, you could just deselect them by hand. Could be that you have something installed that pulled them in already though | 07:29 |
| progmanos | Compiz freezes randomly. I'm using Kubuntu Hardy and the latest NVidia driver on a GeForce 6150SE. | 07:29 |
| redwhitewaldo | cwillu: thanks. | 07:29 |
| redwhitewaldo | g'night | 07:29 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, well, the obvious approach I can think of (although a bit tedious), is to make a copy of everything in your home directory (including .* files which are hidden by default, hit ctrl+h in nautilus to show them) | 07:30 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, and then delete all the .* folders one by one until you find the one that unbreaks it | 07:30 |
| Sheff | are KDE and Gnome "shells" ? | 07:30 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, omg plz i have no idea how to use this...all i wanna do is convert a .doc to .mp3 or any other sound extension if mp3 is not possible, i dont care wat voice etc plz just give me a command im a very last minute person its 2 30 am i have to wake up at 6 am and i need to practice for an oral tomorrow | 07:30 |
| th0ger | Sheff: No. | 07:31 |
| Survivorman | could you make a backup of user x, move it to y, delete x and then remake x and move settings back to x? | 07:31 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit: don't cry, just try espeak --help | 07:31 |
| Stroganoff | it may be not THAT complicated | 07:31 |
| Sheff | th0ger: "desktop environment" ? | 07:31 |
| ishbibenob | make a copy of home folder to a boot drive or somethin, or to the other user? | 07:32 |
| n-iCe | how do I set my wireless connection as default and auto connect on reboot? | 07:32 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, even just to another folder in the same user | 07:32 |
| th0ger | Sheff: Yes :) | 07:32 |
| ishbibenob | ok | 07:32 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, i did that but i dont rely understand the output.. | 07:32 |
| bluecake | i ve installed proftpd , how to test if it works? | 07:32 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, it's the .foo files that you need to back up (just be careful as you delete stuff) | 07:32 |
| Sheff | th0ger: what is "Window Manager" then? | 07:32 |
| ishbibenob | ok | 07:32 |
| th0ger | Sheff: KDE=K Desktop Environment. | 07:32 |
| unop__ | Sheff, in the accepted definition of a 'shell', kde and gnome do not fit that description .. but since they allow the user to interact with the system they can be thought of as shells .. but the proper term for them would be Desktop Environments (as they encompass a lot of 'shells') | 07:32 |
| Survivorman | cwillu, but won't not knowing what caused the problem in the first place put the new user at risk if importing potentially tainted settings that could disrupt the new user | 07:33 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, -f and then all the text? | 07:33 |
| Stroganoff | i'm installing it right now... | 07:33 |
| cwillu | Survivorman, we're not importing anything | 07:33 |
| Survivorman | ah, just backing up data? | 07:33 |
| cwillu | Survivorman, you make a backup of everything, and then delete the fiels (to let them default) one by one | 07:33 |
| unop__ | Sheff, desktop environments use window managers to manage windows, position them, draw extension, open, close and maximize them, etc | 07:33 |
| progmanos | the following is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62388/ | 07:34 |
| Survivorman | ok cwillu, I understand. settings default. | 07:34 |
| wers | how do I extract 7zip archives? :D | 07:34 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, im so stupid, i like copy pasted my hw into it :( | 07:34 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit im sure you can input files too | 07:34 |
| th0ger | Sheff: KDE and gnome are also window mangers. But what makes then desktop environments, is that they support all kinds of interactive shit between applications. (or something like that) | 07:34 |
| unop__ | wers, there is a 7zip package | 07:34 |
| greenstar_ | /msg nickserv link greenstar madman99 | 07:34 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit, at first, copy all that text out of word into a plain text file | 07:34 |
| unop__ | th0ger, language | 07:34 |
| th0ger | unop_: sorry | 07:34 |
| Sheff | what is the window manager for KDE and Gnome? I am trying to compare with windows | 07:34 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, save it as .rtf u mean? | 07:34 |
| Stroganoff | no | 07:35 |
| Stroganoff | .TXT | 07:35 |
| wers | unop_, E: Couldn't find package 7zip | 07:35 |
| Stroganoff | if you dont know how, just copy everything into gedit | 07:35 |
| Stroganoff | and save | 07:35 |
| Sheff | I mean a window manager is a program? | 07:35 |
| nic_ | Inside the home folder go through every file right? is there a specific folder or file type I should be watching for? | 07:35 |
| Stroganoff | then: espeak -f textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav | 07:35 |
| clarkGamble | werdz, apt-cache search 7z | 07:35 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit, do you understand? | 07:36 |
| unop__ | wers, sorry, p7zip | 07:36 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, i chose text and not text encoded | 07:36 |
| Stroganoff | put textfile.txt into you home and run the command | 07:36 |
| Sheff | no not like that :) - - what is the equivalent of explorer.exe in Ubuntu? | 07:36 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, both are .txt thats y im sayin | 07:36 |

| n-iCe | how do I set my wireless connection as default and auto connect on reboot? | 07:38 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit its really simple, have you got it? | 07:38 |
| omnz0r | wers sudo apt-get install unp ... unp unpakcs all kinds of shit trough CLI, so you don't have to worry about remembering shit | 07:38 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, do i have to cd to location of .txt b4 doing that? | 07:38 |
| Stroganoff | yes | 07:38 |
| Stroganoff | or do it like this: | 07:38 |
| unop__ | omnz0r, language | 07:38 |
| Stroganoff | espeak -f /home/junit/blablabla/textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav | 07:38 |
| nic_ | cwillu this is ishbibenob, do I look for any specific file type? | 07:38 |
| damo23 | n-iCe: edit /etc/network/interfaces..... add a line "auto eth1" or whatever | 07:39 |
| wers | omnz0r, so i just run unp <file location>? | 07:39 |
| tarrus | what happened to all the programs I installed with the Synaptics manager? | 07:39 |
| cwillu | nic_, just deal with the folders that start with a '.' for now | 07:39 |
| tarrus | i don't see them in my applications list | 07:39 |
| omnz0r | wers: cd into the dir where you want your files to be ... the unp <location> | 07:39 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, well i did cd ~/Desktop/ b4 typing wat u gave me slightly edited with assignment name.txt | 07:39 |
| omnz0r | the=then* | 07:39 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, .wav got created but its not making noise | 07:39 |
| cwillu | nic_, back them all up first to another folder though | 07:39 |
| omnz0r | there's probably other ways to do it, but that's one | 07:40 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit are you sure your .txt is just plain text? | 07:40 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit: open it with gedit or any EDITOR | 07:40 |
| n-iCe | damo23 uhm | 07:40 |
| tarrus | where are all the programs i installed with the Synaptics Package Manager placed? I don't see them under applications | 07:40 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit: i just tested the command, it worked at the start. | 07:40 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, i used openoffice to make it .txt (Text) | 07:40 |
| n-iCe | damo23 take a look: http://asdasdasd.pastebin.com/m6ef7fecc is it correct? | 07:40 |
| nic_ | cwillu, another dumb question, where can I make a backup of the home folder without it being inside the home folder? | 07:41 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, i have a plan, ill do gedit then put assignment in there and save it | 07:41 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit that was my plan | 07:41 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, lol | 07:41 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, that actually made me laf alot | 07:41 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, anyway im gona do it now | 07:42 |
| unop__ | nic_, you can do something like this. (cd /path/to/anotherfolder; tar czf homefolder.tgz ~) | 07:42 |
| Stroganoff | J-Unit, you might want to adjust the reading speed with a third parameter: espeak -f textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav -s 170 | 07:42 |
| Stroganoff | 170 is default | 07:42 |
| Stroganoff | choose something from 80 to 370 | 07:42 |
| cwillu | nic_, in nautilus, just open the home folder, select everything, hit copy, make a new folder, move into it, and hit paste | 07:42 |
| damo23 | n-iCe: i think the "auto wlan0" needs to be at the top of that wlan0 block | 07:42 |
| Stroganoff | good night, J-Unit | 07:42 |
| nic_ | thanks | 07:42 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, ur leaving? | 07:42 |
| bluefrog | tarrus: in synaptic, select settings/pref and check "show packages prop..." then select your package and you will see what and where have been installed in the "installed files" tab | 07:43 |
| Stroganoff | no | 07:43 |

| Stroganoff | J-Unit well you could have started earlier ;) | 07:43 |
| th0ger_ifa | nic_: you might use a folder like /mnt/backup or /media/backup. But you should really use another disk/partition if the backup should be useful. | 07:43 |

| unop__ | kelvin911, what makes you think we will support windows here, this is #ubuntu .. your question is also off-topic (see the topic) | 07:52 |
| Stroganoff | there are other voices | 07:52 |

| tarrus | what are some good filesharing programs from linux? | 07:52 |
| J-Unit | Stroganoff, how do i look into it? | 07:52 |

| clarkGamble | ok | 07:55 |
| kelvin911 | is mandriva mandrake? | 07:55 |
| e-rod | Hola! :) | 07:55 |
| cwillu | I think so | 07:55 |
| Survivorman | mandrake changed its name because of copyright issues to mandriv | 07:56 |
| Survivorman | *a | 07:56 |
| adrian_2002ca | clarkGamble: is there a possibility of running scripts for my channel or does freenode take care of that>? | 07:56 |
| kelvin911 | i still have the mandrake linux 10 CD somewhere | 07:56 |

| e-rod | I am gonna try my english :) | 07:57 |
| maestrotech | Is there anyway to make it so that the file system in ubuntu recognizes special characters (ò, è, `, à, etc.) in the filenames? | 07:57 |
| clarkGamble | adrian_2002ca, #freenode,aks there | 07:57 |
| ishbibenob | cwillu, looks like a no go, unless I did something wrong | 07:57 |
| e-rod | #ubuntu-es is boring... | 07:58 |
| ishbibenob | I went through the whole home folder deleting them all and still doesnt work correctly | 07:58 |
| bluefrog | maestrotech: it already does it | 07:58 |
| Stroganoff | maestrotech: doesn't it do that already? | 07:58 |
| e-rod | everybody is sleeping in spain... | 07:58 |
| adrian_2002ca | thanks man | 07:58 |
| unop__ | maestrotech, sure, check out the utf8 option specific to your filesystem in the mount manpage | 07:58 |
| cwillu | ishbibenob, sorry, I should have mentioned, did you relog after each attempt? | 07:58 |
| maestrotech | no, i am copying my files over from one disk to the other, and it is converting all "ò, è, `, à, etc." to "?" | 07:58 |
| bazhang | e-rod: this is not a chat channel; join #ubuntu-offtopic for that thanks | 07:59 |
| cwillu | (unlike most things in gnome, those changes wouldn't take effect until the responsible problem restarted) | 07:59 |
| ishbibenob | no, so I need to log in and out after every attempt | 07:59 |
| bluefrog | maestrotech: it' scoming from windows? | 07:59 |
| e-rod | what is the topic? :) | 07:59 |
| cwillu | maestrotech, what filesystem? | 07:59 |
| bluefrog | maestrotech: or another old linux | 07:59 |
| bazhang | e-rod: this is the ubuntu support channel thanks | 07:59 |
| cwillu | e-rod, this is techsupport | 07:59 |

| maestrotech | :( | 08:00 |
| miturburu_ | helo | 08:00 |
| maestrotech | thank you for listening to me whine about nothing. lol | 08:00 |
| Stroganoff | maestrotech: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 08:01 |
| Stroganoff | maestrotech: add iocharset=utf8 to the ext3 options | 08:01 |
| Stroganoff | or set the charset you are using on windows | 08:01 |
| === bluefrog is now known as blue-frog | ||
| unop__ | i think windows uses utf8 or utf16, can't remember which | 08:02 |
| maestrotech | Stroganoff: Thanks man, i think i'm all set. I was looking at an older copy. As soon as someone said, "It does support it". I tried recopying it...and it worked with the extended charset. | 08:02 |
| maestrotech | i should have checked. | 08:02 |
| imexil | Hi. Anybody of you having experiences of the saturday update for HHbeta breaking the usage of ndiswrapper? It worked with the pure beta version. | 08:02 |
| Stroganoff | unop__: no it uses ISO locales | 08:02 |
| Stroganoff | i think | 08:02 |
| maestrotech | i made a poor assumption. thank you again guys. | 08:02 |
| Stroganoff | at least the non-english versions of windows | 08:02 |
| bazhang | imexil: that is in #ubuntu+1 thanks | 08:03 |
| Stroganoff | anyway iocharset=utf8 might be worth a try | 08:03 |
| imexil | ok i'll go there than. sorry for spamming then. ;) | 08:03 |
| nic_ | cwillu, do you think this problem would be in direct relation to a file change i have made. For instance I was downloading something last night and it gave me trouble, you think if I locate whatever I have done in the last 24 hours I can eliminate the problem? | 08:04 |
| unop__ | Stroganoff, errm, i dont think so - i've seen characters render fine in filenames that aren't in my local chararset | 08:04 |
| joecurlee | hi all... I'm getting a very odd bug with windows in ubuntu 7.10 | 08:05 |
| Stroganoff | yep unop__, its utf16 | 08:05 |
| Stroganoff | at least internally | 08:05 |
| joecurlee | on restart I don't have borders on windows... title bar is gone... terminal is all white with no text | 08:05 |
| cwillu | probably | 08:05 |
| cwillu | nic_, may not be the fastest way though | 08:05 |
| n-iCe | where do I get a autopackage support? | 08:05 |
| unop__ | Stroganoff, yea, i remember reading about that somewhere | 08:05 |
| bazhang | joecurlee: with compiz on? | 08:05 |
| cwillu | nic_, did you relog after each change? | 08:05 |
| nic_ | ok, so far still doing it | 08:06 |
| nic_ | not finished | 08:06 |
| Stroganoff | k cu | 08:06 |
| joecurlee | bazhang | 08:06 |
| joecurlee | no | 08:06 |
| cwillu | nic_, you can do like half of them at a time | 08:06 |
| joecurlee | bazhang: i removed compiz still got problem | 08:06 |
| Sinnerman | joecurlee: do you have you tried logging on from another account to see if that error is still there? | 08:06 |
| cwillu | nic_, if one set fixes it, then restore half of them, etc | 08:06 |
| nic_ | ok | 08:06 |
| nic_ | got it | 08:06 |
| n-iCe | where do I get a autopackage support? | 08:06 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: autopackage? | 08:07 |
| n-iCe | that's why the files ask for | 08:07 |
| joecurlee | this is definitely related to compiz though... the only way to make it work again is if I go to appearance > visual effects and choose "normal" (changing from none) and then choose "use previous settings" which sets it back to "none" | 08:07 |
| slackd00d | n-iCe: what distro do you use? | 08:07 |
| n-iCe | xubuntu | 08:07 |
| joecurlee | it is as though ubuntu is trying to use an old compiz settings file | 08:07 |
| slackd00d | n-iCe: http://geocities.com/slackd00d/ | 08:07 |
| joecurlee | Sinnerman: no I haven't tried that | 08:07 |
| slackd00d | i have all the packages there | 08:07 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: what files are asking for autopackage? | 08:08 |
| e-rod | quit GoodNight! :) | 08:08 |
| Sinnerman | joecurlee: what graphics card do you have? | 08:08 |
| joecurlee | nvidia 7 series | 08:08 |
| joecurlee | i believe 7600 | 08:08 |
| slackd00d | thats what i have | 08:08 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy well | 08:09 |
| joecurlee | with compiz i have a bit of tearing... i don't care about compiz though. This is just a media box | 08:09 |
| Sinnerman | joecurlee: im not entirely sure, but i noticed someone posting something about a fix for nvidia cards in #compiz-fusion about loss of window decorations, it might be worth asking in there. | 08:09 |
| n-iCe | trying to open the executable appears this message: | 08:09 |
| Armadillio | how would i apply this patch? http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/2/26 | 08:09 |
| joecurlee | Sinnerman: ok thanks i'll try it | 08:09 |
| n-iCe | the autopackage support code could not be installed | 08:09 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: what executable? | 08:10 |
| n-iCe | it can be manually downloaded and installed by running the installation script locatd in the downloaded archive | 08:10 |
| Sinnerman | joecurlee: i'll grep my logs, see if i can find it again. im no expert, but that might be your solution. | 08:10 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy amsn | 08:10 |
| kelvin911 | i also have 7600 gt | 08:10 |
| n-iCe | is a xmessage that's whay it says above | 08:10 |
| bazhang | Armadillio: for gutsy? | 08:10 |
| nerv | #sdad | 08:10 |
| Armadillio | for hardy. but i think it can be applied on hardy. | 08:10 |
| Armadillio | it should be the same principle | 08:10 |
| bazhang | Armadillio: then this is not the channel for that | 08:10 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: did you install amsn through apt-get install amsn, the package manager, add/remove, or something else? | 08:11 |
| Armadillio | ok, it's for edgy then. | 08:11 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy from the site, because using apt-get doesn't install the lastest version | 08:11 |
| joecurlee | Sinnerman: thanks | 08:11 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: this is why I always go through the package manager. I'm not sure how to get the site's version of amsn working | 08:12 |
| nic_ | cwillu, if I have this backed up in a folder on the desktop will it still read it as being in the home folder or should that work? | 08:13 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy: http://www.autopackage.org/docs/howto-install/ | 08:13 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: why install from somewhere outside the repos? what new function does this version have? | 08:14 |
| tarrus | what's the directory path for the desktop? | 08:14 |
| n-iCe | bazhang a lot | 08:14 |
| Starnestommy | tarrus: /home/<username>/Desktop | 08:14 |
| tarrus | Starnestommy: thanks | 08:14 |
| bazhang | n-iCe: such as? | 08:15 |
| cwillu | nic_, no it won't | 08:15 |
| tsukasa | whats a good program for coding php? | 08:15 |
| n-iCe | such as webcam support, nudges, voice chat, display, etc | 08:15 |
| n-iCe | tsukasa notepad | 08:15 |
| nic_ | wont work, or wont see it as being in the home folder | 08:15 |
| cwillu | nic_, "~/Desktop/Backup/.gconf" won't get used as the gconf directory, it has to be in home | 08:15 |
| tiltedwindmills | dammed frustrating. 7.10 will not give me the right resolution on my laptop screen and 8.04 screws up on usb microphones shared with vmware. | 08:16 |

| tiltedwindmills | sb 1640x1050 and not 1280x7something? | 08:17 |
| jacekowski | that was nice feature to start automaticly kbluetoothd | 08:18 |

| mEck0 | Hi! If I'm the owner to a folder, it it possible to set permissions so that another user can both read and write to it, though, a second user can only read from my folder? | 08:27 |
| bazhang | tiltedwindmills: my question has three parts; what drivers and how installed | 08:28 |
| blue-frog | mEck0: with acl yes | 08:28 |
| LukeL_ | cwillu that's an impala :P | 08:28 |
| Survivorman | *big antlers; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibex | 08:28 |
| n-iCe | i think i did it | 08:28 |
| LukeL_ | oh | 08:28 |
| tiltedwindmills | the 7.10 installer suggestes non-free drivers and I used them | 08:28 |
| mEck0 | blue-frog: sorry, but what is acl? | 08:29 |
| tiltedwindmills | how can I find out what drivers it installed | 08:29 |
| blue-frog | mEck0: access control list tools | 08:29 |
| mEck0 | blue-frog: okay, thx, *googling* | 08:29 |
| LukeL_ | thanks Survivorman | 08:29 |
| blue-frog | mEck0: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/ACL/linux-acl.html | 08:29 |
| unop__ | mEck0, you can do them without ACLs .. using groups and ownership .. | 08:30 |
| bazhang | tiltedwindmills: check the restricted drivers manager; is that in use/enabled? | 08:30 |
| mEck0 | blue-frog: thx a lot! | 08:30 |
| Survivorman | np LukeL_ | 08:30 |
| maestrotech | hey guys, what does this command do?: "find ./ -name *.db | awk rm" | 08:30 |
| mEck0 | blue-frog: but it's not possible without acl just with chmod right? as I understood it | 08:30 |
| cwillu | maestrotech, probably deletes a bunch of files | 08:30 |
| unop__ | maestrotech, that's a shoddy command, removes all *.db files (recursively) from the current directory | 08:31 |
| blue-frog | mEck0: not what you want to do | 08:31 |
| tiltedwindmills | yes, it is in use and installed ati accelerated graphics driver and wifi driver | 08:31 |
| unop__ | mEck0, not just chmod, you need groups, so you need chgrp | 08:31 |
| maestrotech | cwillu , unop__: that's what I thought it did....but the files seem to still be there. | 08:31 |
| mEck0 | blue-frog: ok | 08:31 |
| mEck0 | unop__: I see | 08:31 |
| bazhang | tiltedwindmills: and you want to up the resolution? what is the precise nature of your problem | 08:32 |
| maestrotech | unop__: but the first time i ran it...i heard the hard drive rumble. | 08:32 |
| maestrotech | unop__: I'm scared. | 08:32 |
| maestrotech | lol | 08:32 |
| unop__ | maestrotech, you probably need this. find ./ -name *.db -exec rm '{}' \; | 08:32 |
| unop__ | maestrotech, i dont think "awk rm" does what it appears to be doing there, i'm not very used to awk but i guess that's invalid awk syntax | 08:33 |
| Peddy | does anyone know where I can find the plugin shown here (the terminal window one): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2394773080_c74ba27f87_b.jpg | 08:33 |
| unop__ | maestrotech, but find still will look for all those files (which is why you hear your drive spin) | 08:33 |
| bazhang | Peddy: for gutsy? | 08:33 |
| ishbibenob | cwillu, Since I am waiting for my virtual box file to still backup let me ask you a question, once I find the file that is causing the problem will deleting it be the solution or moving it? | 08:34 |
| Peddy | bazhang: correct | 08:34 |
| Peddy | bazhang: is it even possible? | 08:34 |
| blue-frog | Peddy: mozilla. lightning calendar | 08:34 |
| tiltedwindmills | bazhang: current resolution is 1280x1024, native is 1680x1040. distorted screen is hard to read | 08:35 |
| Peddy | blue-frog: the terminal window one? | 08:35 |
| n-iCe | what's xubuntu? linux-x86 linux_x86_64 , linux-powerpc, linux-sparc or what? | 08:35 |
| blue-frog | Peddy: oh no | 08:35 |
| Peddy | blue-frog: ok, thanks anyway | 08:35 |
| bazhang | tiltedwindmills: could you pastebin your xorg.conf please? | 08:36 |
| blue-frog | Peddy: that's avant window navigator feature | 08:36 |
| tiltedwindmills | k | 08:36 |
| unop__ | Peddy, looks like that windows just has it's "window decorations" removed .. I dont use gnome so i cant say where this is .. but have a look in tht' window's menu (right click title bar) or in the terminal's options | 08:36 |
| Survivorman | n-iCe, refers to computer architecture. | 08:36 |
| Simarson | anyone there can tell me what program i need or what to do to get 2 computers in network work togetehr | 08:36 |
| maestrotech | i found my mistake...i wanted to use "xargs" not "awk" | 08:36 |
| Survivorman | n-iCe, what computer do you have | 08:36 |
| unop__ | maestrotech, ouch, careful, spelling mistakes on linux can be costly | 08:37 |
| bazhang | http://www.xubuntu.org/ n-iCe | 08:37 |
| blue-frog | Simarson: you need a crossed ethernet cable or a straight cable and a hub | 08:37 |
| Peddy | unop__: isn't it pointing out from the dock, though? I'm pretty sure its connected to it | 08:37 |
| n-iCe | oh | 08:38 |
| maestrotech | unop__: indeed. | 08:38 |

| Survivorman | x86 | 08:38 |

| bazhang | tiltedwindmills: how about trying sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and entering the correct info? use defaults or leave blank when you dont know | 08:43 |
| maestrotech | unop__: goodnight unop__, thanks for your help. | 08:43 |
| gatestone | Btw, here is another brainstorming idea ;-) People who don't have much tech competence could just hang around here and praise and support others! Just being nice and some more niceness could make this channel even a better place! | 08:43 |
| tiltedwindmills | trying that | 08:43 |

| cvd-pr | yeah but before beta? | 08:51 |
| Simarson | permanent | 08:51 |
| Simarson | network | 08:51 |

| fx|RabBit | i need to create a .deb package outa linux-uvc-source for my institute, how do i do that? | 08:58 |
| raphink | anyone knows how to use /etc/hushlogins here? | 08:59 |
| kindofabuzz | fx|RabBit: install checkinstall, then instead of doing sudo make install you do sudo make checkinstall and it will make a deb | 08:59 |
| fx|RabBit | that easy?? | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | yup | 09:00 |
| fx|RabBit | niceee!! | 09:00 |
| hischild | fx|RabBit, yes | 09:00 |

| tiltedwindmills | hischild: will that work for python packages?? | 09:01 |
| maek | why don't they all do that ?? whenever I go to a webpage with software available to download they never provide a deb package | 09:01 |
| === nomark is now known as IE6MustDie | ||
| === clarkGamble is now known as icesword | ||
| hischild | tiltedwindmills, it's a wrapper for installing source packages. If your python packages is from source, then you can install it with checkinstall. | 09:01 |
| fx|RabBit | kindofabuzz: one more quetsion: that linux-uvc-source installs a few other packags in the process is that being considered by checkinstall? | 09:01 |
| kindofabuzz | fx|RabBit: well you have to have all the dependancies to make that source, the checkinstall will include it all | 09:02 |
| Admin__ | how come xchat connets almost instally on windows but takes 1-2 min on ubuntu. | 09:02 |

| tiltedwindmills | Im sorry to say that I've forgotten the name of the person that helped with my video problem but your suggestion worked. many thanks | 09:04 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah i love checkinstall, saves time so you don't have to remake from source after you do it once, just save that deb somewhere and you have it forever | 09:04 |
| bazhang | tiltedwindmills: success? | 09:04 |
| fx|RabBit | kindofabuzz: which is exactly the point, as we are servicing about 50 computers here... | 09:04 |

| geirha | bullgard4: if you are on gutsy, try installing db4.6-util, which is some berkley db command-line utils. Using db4.6_dump on that .db-file might be what you want | 09:35 |
| bullgard4 | unop__, maek: Thank you for explaining. | 09:35 |

| theTrav | hello, I've got a machine in the other room that starts a vnc server when I log in to it, but I don't have any peripherals attached at the moment. I can ssh in, does anyone know if I can get it to open an X session with a vnc server running? | 09:40 |
| eax_ | Can anyone tell me how to enable the danish spelling corretion in OOo? | 09:40 |
| Viking667 | meeper: I'd possibly suggest opengl, but that rather depends upon what video card you have, and what drivers are installed for it, both from a kernel and X perspective. | 09:41 |
| kindofabuzz | theTrav: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 read the last page, i corrected the OP's errors, but other than that, that's how i got mine working, wish i could help more, going to bed | 09:41 |
| marek | hello, I need xchat package for ubuntu with debug symbols, how to get it? | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | theTrav: since you don't have a monitor, to enable XDMCP, it's in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, also in that file set DisallowTCP=false and uncomment RemoteLogin | 09:43 |
| kindofabuzz | and then follow that guide | 09:43 |

| alanbshepard70 | I like poking around the repos to find new programs which is fun but I often run into the situation where I've installed a package and it doesn't show up anywhere, there is no shortcut/launcher for it and using terminal the file name isn't the command. How can I find out the command to launch/execute a package when the package name isn't it? | 09:54 |
| thoreauputic | alanbshepard70: try dpkg -L <packagename> | grep bin | 09:54 |
| thoreauputic | note capital L | 09:54 |
| bullgard4 | geirha: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/161741/ | 09:55 |
| alanbshepard70 | thoreauputic: Thanks I'll try it. | 09:55 |
| Draenom | what is a metapackage? | 09:55 |
| osfameron | alanbshepard70: or if you're in synaptic, right click on the package you've just installed, and look for "installed files" | 09:55 |
| Draenom | emacs - The GNU Emacs editor (metapackage) | 09:56 |
| Draenom | emacs22 - The GNU Emacs editor (Emacs 22) | 09:56 |
| Draenom | which one to install? | 09:56 |
| thoreauputic | alanbshepard70: dpkg -L <package> shows all files - the grep looks for ones in a bin dir. For games use dpkg -L <package> | grep games | 09:56 |
| bullgard4 | eax_: May be you can extract an error message and report it here in its full length. | 09:56 |
| thoreauputic | alanbshepard70: or use osfameron 's sensible suggestion :) | 09:56 |
| alanbshepard70 | ok I'll try both. Thanks guys. | 09:57 |
| thoreauputic | Draenom: in simple termes, a list of dependencies - a metapackage lists packages for a task so that apt / aptitude /synaptic will install them | 09:57 |
| geirha | bullgard4: ok, only one database inside that file then, so -s is useless. I guess those numbers are all you get then :/ | 09:57 |

| bullgard4 | akritaz: " cannot get it to work." is no exact description. | 09:59 |
| thoreauputic | Draenom: ah I see - well IIRC that packages is for the X ( graphical) version. If you jsut install emacs it might be the cli version | 09:59 |
| thoreauputic | Draenom: check the output of apt-cache depends emacs (and/or or emacs22 ) | 10:00 |

| achadwick | It so happens that I'm putting a package of ies4linux together, of the downloader variety (obviously). Watch this space :) | 11:19 |
| Oli`` | xoob: VirtualBox. VMWare comes in a close second, let down by its price | 11:19 |
| xoob | DJones, interesting thanks for tip | 11:20 |
| XB23 | vmware has a free version | 11:20 |
| Oli`` | XB23: but it's rubbish compared to virtualbox =) | 11:20 |
| xoob | Oli``, which one is the fastest of those? | 11:20 |
| XB23 | ive not tried virtualbox | 11:20 |
| xoob | that can utilize most hardware etc | 11:21 |
| Oli`` | xoob: VirtualBox is ever-so-slightly faster in most tests.. VMWare has slightly better performing networking if I remember correctly but networking isn't an issue unless you're planning on using a full gigbit connection =) | 11:21 |

| ricanelite | can it just be the avi file is corrupted? | 11:29 |
| ricanelite | Frodoli1, what type of card do you have? | 11:29 |
| nucco | francesco_: make sure you don't have an important slider turned all the way down in the mixer. i assume you're using gnome? | 11:29 |
| francesco_ | I followed the procedure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but it didn't work. It seems that Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard, but it doesn't work. | 11:30 |
| francesco_ | Yes, nucco. | 11:30 |
| francesco_ | nucco: What do you mean by slider? | 11:30 |
| nucco | francesco_: in a terminal type "lspci" without the quotes, it you should be able to tell your soundcard by reading the output. pls post its name here | 11:31 |
| francesco_ | Ok. | 11:31 |
| nucco | francesco_: sliders are those things you move up or down to raise or lower the volume :) | 11:31 |

| nucco | francesco_: find out what soundcard you have then. | 11:32 |
| nucco | zmatt: it means 'shift' and 'ctrl' are probably stuck down | 11:33 |
| francesco_ | nucco: It's a sound blaster live. It uses emu10k1 as driver. | 11:33 |
| zmatt | nucco: checked that...they're not... | 11:33 |
| zmatt | weird one... | 11:33 |
| nucco | zmatt: maybe some accessibility feature is enabled causing the confusion? | 11:33 |
| nucco | francesco_: looks like you gotta check ubuntu forums | 11:34 |
| francesco_ | nucco: I did. I did. | 11:34 |
| nucco | francesco_: poor tweety. lemme see what that troubleshooting page says | 11:34 |
| francesco_ | I've also typed aplay -l and to see if Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard, and it does. | 11:35 |
| nucco | francesco_: a shot in the dark, but do "sudo modprobe emu10k1" in a terminal... i assume emu10k1 is the driver name. | 11:36 |
| francesco_ | nucco: It is. | 11:36 |
| nucco | francesco_: for those intel cards I was telling you about, sometimes the sound fails to work after resuming from hibernate... | 11:37 |
| francesco_ | nucco: What do you mean? | 11:37 |

| blue112 | MindScape, do you know how can I fix my sound problem ? | 11:45 |
| Draenom | people, where can I get cedega? | 11:45 |
| MindSpark | sami, get kubuntu | 11:45 |
| MindSpark | Draenom, www.justfuckinggoogleit.com | 11:45 |
| Draenom | MindSpark i found the official site but they ask for money there | 11:46 |
| Draenom | that really sux | 11:46 |
| sami | MindSpark, you obviesly don't understand my question. | 11:46 |
| blue112 | Draenom, wine-hq.org | 11:46 |
| zmatt | Draenom: cedega is a pay for application | 11:47 |
| zmatt | but it's not that much | 11:47 |
| MindSpark | sami, yes obviously, would you maybe try to rephrase ? | 11:47 |
| MindSpark | Draenom, cedega is for money when you want support to compile it | 11:47 |
| Draenom | and if i don`t? | 11:47 |
| MindSpark | Draenom, then you go through the entire process yourself. I am not sure if that's still the policy though | 11:48 |
| sami | I have an preseeded install for an unattended install. I need kdm to work with AD interaction and need KDM to be installed w/o any questions. | 11:48 |
| Draenom | MindSpark will i be able to play CS through wine? | 11:49 |
| MindSpark | Draenom, I don't know. Never tried that, but you can give it a shot I guess | 11:49 |

| bowen0507 | I have a problem where the script fails because it isn't a super user | 11:50 |
| Draenom | blue112 is it hard to configure it all? | 11:50 |
| sami | When i have GDM and try to install KDM i get a question shellwise which DM i want to use. I want to skip that question telling it to only choose KDM automaticlly | 11:51 |
| MindSpark | sami, oh, sorry, my bad. Concentration problems this morning. | 11:51 |
| blue112 | Draenom, no, just go appdb.wine-hq.org, search counter strike | 11:51 |
| blue112 | and there should be a nice howto :) | 11:52 |

| unop__ | sami, if you have the GDM already (or KDE for that matter) and you install another DM (whether directly or through another package) .. it is quite logical to be asked whether you want the new DM to take over so as to avoid some nasty surprises (this isn't an example of where things can go very wrong, but there are instances where you must tell the installer just what to do) | 12:01 |
| nucco | francesco_: i feel confident that it would work in 8.04 though. i'm certain i read somewhere that the problem was fixed in a newer version of alsa, but i never bother to hand-compile my software :) | 12:01 |

| sami | unop, Yes i'm about to do that. But do you know which file that it altered when the question it popped. | 12:05 |
| francesco_ | nucco: What section? If Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard it's useless to reinstall the driver, right? | 12:05 |
| LL00 | hello | 12:05 |
| LL00 | someone use ipv6? | 12:05 |
| Frogzoo | jaffarkelshac: sudo apt-get install wireshark - done is done | 12:05 |
| b0x | i diden think thay used v6 yet | 12:06 |
| damo23 | JPSman: reset the router to defaults by pressing the reset button, then the default user/pw admin admin should work | 12:06 |
| jaffarkelshac | i know how to install, i mean how to confiugure under interface i put eth0 but does not work | 12:06 |
| nucco | francesco_: yes (with some reservations). | 12:06 |

| francesco_ | nucco: I've tried "Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel". | 12:06 |
| unop | sami, depends on the preinst and postinst scripts .. they should exist in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 12:07 |
| Stormx2 | francesco_: What problem are you having? | 12:07 |
| nucco | francesco_: that's quite a leap :) if it doesn't work on and off randomly, then you don | 12:07 |
| francesco_ | Stormx2: I can't hear any sound. | 12:07 |
| sami | unop, What i can do is that i add a pipe to apt-get install kdm < whatever and let it choose by default and add a script to change run level after isntalle. | 12:07 |

| Stormx2 | But not from your install? Hmm. | 12:10 |
| sami | unop, i could have it to preinstall kde-base and all the deps first and add kdm at the last point | 12:10 |

| sami | unop, I tired it on a test VM and it seemd to work. | 12:11 |

| francesco_ | Even rebooting the system, the problem remains. | 12:14 |
| Stormx2 | Hm. | 12:14 |
| blue112 | Stormx2, thanks | 12:14 |
| Stormx2 | francesco_: if you open up a terminal, then use aplay to try and play a file, it should give you an error message. | 12:15 |
| Stormx2 | Could you do that, and give me the error message? | 12:15 |
| francesco_ | Stormx2: How do I play an audio file using aplay? | 12:15 |
| francesco_ | Stormx2: It seems to work. No error message. It seems silly. It seems I left the audio mute, but I didn't. | 12:17 |
| Stormx2 | It says that it's playing? | 12:17 |
| francesco_ | Stormx2: Yes. | 12:17 |
| Stormx2 | Hmm. | 12:17 |

| ikonia | fx|RabBit: ok, the firt one in the list is "0", count down until the one you want to be default, eg: 0 ubuntu, 1 ubuntu recovery mode 2 windows XP | 12:41 |
| ikonia | fx|RabBit: it doesn't matter what disks they are on | 12:42 |
| fx|RabBit | ikonia: ah! i see | 12:42 |

| ikonia | fx|RabBit: cool | 12:42 |
| Frogzoo | ricanelite: system -> prefs -> appearance -> wallpaper | 12:42 |

| Yahuuu | Stormx2: no error but dont get me to X desktop | 12:42 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu: So what's the problem? | 12:43 |
| wildman | anyway, Stormx2 made me disable my principal suspect already (thanks!) I'll know tomorrow | 12:43 |
| wildman | Stormx2, ikonia: thanks! | 12:43 |
| ricanelite | yeah i know that. What I meant is for example I have 4 different work stations. When I go into cube mode and rotate to another Workstation can I have another Wallpaper there | 12:43 |
| |Porsche | how can i add the ubunut menu to cairo-dock? | 12:43 |
| bazhang | is wallpapoz still maintained? | 12:44 |
| Yahuuu | Stormx2: besides showing me a X desktop ubuntu show me a black screen when trying to install from live cd, and it took hours andnothing happen | 12:44 |
| quentin_ | hello | 12:44 |
| chimp | hey, sorry to ask again, i sort of have what i want using xinerama, but the extra screen it gives, doesnt show any of the panels which is what i want, any idea how to do this? | 12:44 |
| ikonia | bazhang thats debatable, I think not | 12:44 |
| bazhang | cheers ikonia | 12:44 |
| ikonia | chimp: you've got it set in 1 desktop mode | 12:44 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu: if none of the CDs have defects, I suggest you do some google searching for your hardware's linux compatibility. | 12:44 |
| chimp | ikonia: err what does that mean? | 12:45 |
| ikonia | chimp xinearama lets you use 2 monitors, each monitor is an X server, you can either have one desktop sharing 2 xservers, two desktops, one in each X server | 12:45 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu, other things to do: Make sure your partition table is fine on your disks (cfdisk usually helps with this), make sure you haven't got some weird custom mobo settings, make sure your CPU isn't clocking something it shouldn't be, etc etc. | 12:46 |
| Randomtime | Yahuuu: Have you tried something like Xubuntu, see if that works | 12:46 |
| chimp | Yeah, but with having two desktops (which ive tried) i saw no way for each desktop to interact with each other | 12:46 |
| Oli`` | chimp: TwinView is what I use for nvidia | 12:46 |
| chimp | with 1 desktop, i can drag over to the other screen, but then it lacks all the desktop capabilities | 12:46 |
| Yahuuu | Stormx2: 1 week ago, i was using ubuntu on the same machine and it was perfectly running, after updating some updates on the internet , when i restart my pc, ubuntu stop to load, and i am a new user i cant make it boot, so i format the HDD and want to install a fresh ubuntu, now i cant install it :( | 12:46 |
| chimp | With twinview it stretches the desktop across both screens, and since one screen is a lower res, it looks horrible | 12:47 |
| Stormx2 | You formatted the disk? | 12:47 |
| Stormx2 | To what? | 12:47 |
| chimp | ikonia: With two desktops is there any way to allow them to interact? | 12:47 |
| Stormx2 | With what? | 12:47 |
| wildman | cya later ppl, have a nice one! | 12:47 |
| jamesgc_ | Hello. How to add another repo to get the package courier-authlib-mysql ? | 12:48 |
| Oli`` | chimp: yeah that makes sense... I have two identical monitors. No you've got 2 X session with Xin so there's no scope to have them interact properly | 12:48 |
| Yahuuu | FAT32 | 12:48 |
| === jamesgc_ is now known as jamesgc | ||
| bazhang | Yahuuu: fat32? | 12:48 |
| Stormx2 | !universe | jamesgc_ | 12:48 |
| ubotu | jamesgc_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 12:48 |
| Yahuuu | yes | 12:48 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu, why format it? | 12:48 |
| bazhang | no wonder | 12:48 |
| icesword | bazhang, dude | 12:48 |
| Stormx2 | What did you use to format it? Some boot disklette? | 12:49 |
| Yahuuu | Stormx2: i dont know how to boot it :( and that was my mistake | 12:49 |
| chimp | Is there any way to set up twinview so that it doesnt stretch the panels, but instead has a full panel on both screen? | 12:49 |
| bazhang | icesword: yes? | 12:49 |
| Stormx2 | bazhang: FAT32 itself won't screw up the ubuntu installer. I suspect the actual formatter screwed up his partition table. | 12:49 |
| Yahuuu | Stormx2: i dont know a single work abt ubuntu, i am a window user i was scared and format it : | 12:49 |
| bazhang | Stormx2: agreed | 12:49 |
| Stormx2 | So what did you use? | 12:49 |
| icesword | bazhang, sort of curious why you not join #ubuntu-tw | 12:49 |
| Stormx2 | How did you format it? Under windows? Using another CD? A diskette? What? | 12:50 |
| bazhang | Yahuuu: what did you use to format it | 12:50 |
| Yahuuu | i use the disk with windowsXP as a slave disk and format it under windows fat32 | 12:50 |
| jk_ | i am trying to get ntfs to mount on start up, what file type should i write in the fstab. should it be ntfs or fuseblk | 12:50 |
| Yahuuu | bazhang: windows formater | 12:50 |
| zmatt | jk_: ntfs | 12:50 |
| Oli`` | chimp: oh my panels only take up one screen each (no stretching). I had to go a long way around though: setup twinview. move your panels to the side of the screen (vertically). Restart X by logging out and in again. Move your panels to the bottom and they should only take up one screen each | 12:51 |
| elementz | hi everybody | 12:51 |
| Ziroday | Hi, anyone aware of any decent drug and/or patient management systems? | 12:51 |
| Stormx2 | bazhang, I usually do a "write" under CFDisk to fix partition table woes, unless you have a better idea to help Yahuuu? | 12:51 |
| chimp | hmm ill try that oli | 12:51 |
| jk_ | k | 12:51 |
| elementz | looking for a deb package: network-manager-gnome -> is there a way to dl it from the web? via ftp or http, can't use aptitude at the moment.... | 12:51 |
| bazhang | Stormx2: the question is can he understand that--good idea, but not sure if he can follow | 12:51 |
| Yahuuu | Stormx2 and bazhang: it seems i have problem in my HDD boot sector?? | 12:52 |
| dru | Ziroday: you should be able to get anything up with a custom kernel, running xen and your favorite os :D | 12:52 |
| bazhang | Yahuuu: sounds like Stormx2 has it solved | 12:52 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu, well, partition table, it's pretty closely linked. | 12:52 |
| jussio1 | elementz: packages.ubuntu.com | 12:52 |
| Stormx2 | bazhang, okay, do you have access to the machine right now? | 12:52 |
| chimp | Another quick question, sometimes when i restart x using ctrl-alt-backspace, after i log back in, it just stops straight away on a blank screen, i can restartx again, but it will still freeze each time i login until i reboot, any ideas? | 12:52 |
| Yahuuu | so, whicn software to use to format it again as u guys suggests? | 12:53 |
| Ziroday | dru: I am talking about specific ready made software to be used in a hospital | 12:53 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu, listen, it doesn't need formatting before an ubuntu install. The ubuntu installer partitions and formats anyway. | 12:53 |
| bazhang | Stormx2: to Yahuuu's machine? not atm ;] | 12:53 |
| Stormx2 | It certainly doesn't need to be formatted to FAT | 12:53 |
| Stormx2 | bazhang, bah! | 12:53 |
| Stormx2 | Yahuuu, okay, do you have access to the machine right now? | 12:53 |
| Yahuuu | Stormx2 : :( please figure it out what to do now | 12:54 |

| IdleOne | populus: most are user but couple hundred bots I would guess | 13:31 |
| Armada | nesp: and how do I set it so firefox will use it as the default app to open torrent files too? | 13:31 |

| Cartoon | I am trying to install 8.04 with md and lvm on top, but I have not found a way to do it in the installer (apart from the fully manual way in a console)... is it correct that the standard gui installer does not support md/lvm volumes? or am I just blind and cannot find the doc for it? | 13:47 |

| ikonia | Cartoon: join #ubuntu+1 | 13:47 |
| GIn | ikonia: that way a lot of users can popin their windows driver and use them in case the wireless card doesn't work out of the box. | 13:48 |
| bazhang | Cartoon: then that would be in #ubuntu+1 thanks | 13:48 |
| white_eagle | I have a problem, sometimes when I boot the laptop ( I have removed usplash ) fsck runs because the drive was mounted 20 times and wasn't checked, and that bothers me, because it takes 4 minutes | 13:48 |

| * Cartoon is sorry for missing the topic | 13:48 | |
| DJones | Armada: If you've got a torrent file saved on your computer, can your right click, select open with and tick the box for always use this application? | 13:48 |
| ikonia | GIn: it's not up to ubuntu to provide windows drives support packages, it's up to you to get it and configure it | 13:48 |

| bazhang | white_eagle: how often does this happen | 13:49 |
| Armada | and everyone else who helped | 13:49 |
| maek | white_eagle, its because you didn't shut down properly | 13:49 |
| GIn | ikonia: that attitude must be changed | 13:49 |
| maek | fsck runs when the system wasn't shut down | 13:49 |
| ikonia | GIn: no - people must provide supported drivers to linux | 13:49 |
| white_eagle | maek: I guess thats the cause | 13:51 |

| jake2point0 | join #crossover | 14:06 |
| Pici | conartist: You said that alsamixer listed your mixers. Are you sure that none of them are muted? | 14:06 |
| differentreality | bazhang, i think that aptoncd would just install progs.. but then i would have to configure them all over right ? | 14:06 |
| Armada | PaRaSiTe2: It says it's not the reccomended way but ubuntu doesn't detect it and the drivers don't support it so this is the only way | 14:06 |

| conartist | what does that command do | 14:08 |
| conartist | ? | 14:08 |
| bazhang | differentreality: okay; what about zipping your /home then moving it to the new machine with aptoncd for the rest | 14:08 |

| dublpaws | conartist: lspci lists details regarding your hardware, then grep picks out any line of the output with "Audio" in it. | 14:09 |
| differentreality | hmmm bazhang that might work i guess... | 14:09 |
| conartist | ooohhh...cool | 14:09 |
| differentreality | bazhang, actually... what about /etc/resolv.conf for example ? | 14:09 |
| conartist | so...what should i do next? | 14:10 |
| differentreality | i would be copying this.. right bazhang ? | 14:10 |
| bazhang | differentreality: what have you tried so far? I have given you some suggestions | 14:10 |
| |Dede| | does it matter matter what identifier I use for my Device in xorg.conf? | 14:10 |
| differentreality | bazhang, yeah but none will actually clone everything i got so far :/ | 14:11 |
| adrock358 | adrock358 walks away, slumping his head and shoulders in shame. | 14:11 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Armada: Check PM :) | 14:11 |
| nathanj | |Dede| as long as you follow through the whole config then no | 14:11 |
| dublpaws | conartist: what I'm doing is plugging some of the details into google, <82801I ubuntu> to see if anyone else has had this problem. | 14:11 |

| nathanj | anyone got any idea how to get window details? eg. demensions and desktop postion co-ordinates | 14:12 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Armada: Oh OK. What I was going to ask is won't this work? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html | 14:12 |
| conartist | or should i try searching for something else | 14:12 |

| PaRaSiTe2 | Definitly | 14:12 |
| differentreality | bazhang, no, because it seems that my prob won't be solved | 14:13 |
| dublpaws | conartist: my suspicion is that your install already supports your audio hardware. | 14:13 |
| phpnoobie | anyone knows where i can get a free ssh server to proxify my connection to???? | 14:13 |
| dublpaws | conartist: and some other problem is causing the symtoms. | 14:13 |
| bazhang | differentreality: it seems that you want some guarantee of success beforehand; linux is about trying stuff and learning from what does and does not work | 14:13 |
| Armada | PaRaSiTe2: Are you running 32 or 64 bit (x86 or x64) | 14:13 |
| |Dede| | nathanj: How can I find out my grafic card's BusID? | 14:13 |
| conartist | and can we find out what is that problem???? | 14:14 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Armada: Currently, nothing. I'm thinking of 64bit though, as I have a C2D. | 14:14 |
| plurt | nathanj: system - preferences - monitor settings? | 14:14 |
| bazhang | differentreality: I know what will work with my system; but your system is another matter as you have done very different things most likely--thus my suggestions | 14:14 |
| conartist | i told you, my alsa mixer runs correctly.. | 14:14 |
| differentreality | bazhang, well.. that's not it... it's just obvious that installing the packages withouth using the internet wont give me the configuration i need ... so i see no reason to do it at the moment | 14:14 |
| conartist | and all the mixers are up | 14:14 |
| conartist | my audio driver i ve installed it | 14:14 |
| Armada | PaRaSiTe2: I'd recommend 32 bit for compatibility reasons | 14:14 |
| adrock358 | bazhang. can you help? Do you know the two lines of code to mount my windows partition, from my live cd? | 14:15 |
| conartist | from the realtek site | 14:15 |
| conartist | and did rebooting | 14:15 |
| conartist | but i still get this problem | 14:15 |
| nathanj | plurt i am actually after the particular location and size of a window on my desktop so i can configure devilspie | 14:15 |
| differentreality | bazhang, i think i most likely need sth like zipping my whole partition with the filesystem rather than just the /home :p | 14:15 |
| conartist | i posted on ubuntu forums | 14:15 |
| bazhang | adrock358: what are you trying to do and what have you done so far | 14:15 |
| conartist | nobody gave me nothing | 14:15 |

| bazhang | conartist: someone sent you a PM on ubuntuforums | 14:16 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Armada: Why is it more compatible? And is it much slower? And how could I do the driver installation if I can't even get into Linux? | 14:16 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Thanks. :) | 14:16 |
| conartist | yes man | 14:16 |
| conartist | they did.....but i did it | 14:16 |
| plurt | quick question: I use azerty, gnome is set to azerty, so is tty, why is my loginscreen(graphic) in qwerty and how do I change it? | 14:16 |
| conartist | still doesnt work | 14:16 |
| eth01 | so be damn patient, and wait -- nobody will do it for you, either... ;) | 14:16 |
| nathanj | |Dede| not sure sorry | 14:16 |
| conartist | i dont know anything else to do | 14:16 |
| |Dede| | How can you find out your grafic card's BusID? | 14:16 |
| Pici | |Dede|: try lspci | 14:16 |
| bazhang | conartist: take a deep breath; this will not be solved in the next two minutes | 14:17 |
| adrock358 | bazhang. Thank you. Well, I need to mount my windows partition from the ubuntu live cd. Because, my windows is rendered useless at the moment after I did an in-place installation, and my windows came back as non-genuine. So I need to go snoop around in there and see what I can get. I haven't done anything yet. Thanks... | 14:17 |
| jake2point0 | is there a way to remotely control another ubuntu without a gui? | 14:17 |
| conartist | not solved in the next two minutes | 14:17 |

| nathanj | anyone got any idea how to get window details? eg. demensions and desktop postion co-ordinates | 14:18 |
| Pici | nathanj: xwinifo *might* give you that. If its not installed, then its in the repos. | 14:19 |
| nathanj | Pici sounds promising thanks mate | 14:19 |
| bazhang | adrock358: windows is not working? and you want to copy files from it to another location and save as much as you can? why not just copy the files you wish? | 14:19 |
| nathanj | Pici already installed by default and works a treat, thanks | 14:20 |
| Armada | How's Ubuntu 64-bit on compatibility with 32-bit apps? | 14:20 |
| jake2point0 | not good | 14:20 |
| GIn | Armada: poor | 14:20 |
| Armada | thought so | 14:20 |
| bazhang | conartist: what kernel do you have? | 14:20 |
| conartist | where can i see what version? | 14:21 |
| adrock358 | bazhang. basically, there is one file on windows that i need to get my windows working again. so, if i mount it, i'm golden. and the reason why i am on live cd, is that my internet, in ubuntu, only works from the live cd. | 14:21 |
| Armada | PaRaSiTe2: As you can see there is very little support for 32-bit apps in 64-bit ubuntu | 14:22 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | OK, my wrong :P | 14:22 |
| dublpaws | conartist: uname -a | 14:22 |
| andax | however my system is still broken and i wether can login to xsession nor do i have network connection. But i can chroot from a mandriva one live-cd and use apt-get. Is there a way to reinstall the basesystem with a simple command? | 14:22 |
| bazhang | conartist: in a terminal type uname -r | 14:22 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Is 64bit much faster than 32bit though? | 14:22 |

| tarandus | will I encounter problems if I apt-get kubuntu-desktop in an ubuntu system, or will it work (I want to select between Gnome and KDE4 from gdm login)? | 15:11 |
| DJones | shjordan: this is the walk through i used to get it set up, just follow it through, its pretty straight forward http://www.ubuntugeek.com/send-and-receive-your-hotmail-messages-through-evolution.html | 15:11 |
| jrib | tarandus: it will work fine | 15:11 |
| sami | cusco, I would recommend a complete reinstall acctually. There is too much work to fix that. | 15:11 |
| tarandus | jrib: do I need to enable backports repository to get KDE4? | 15:11 |
| jrib | !kde4 | tarandus | 15:11 |

| Adantan_Alex | wow i installed it | 15:12 |
| jrib | cusco, sami: removing kubuntu-desktop does nothing | 15:12 |
| shjordan | thank you DJones | 15:12 |
| DJones | shjordan: no probs | 15:12 |
| sami | jrib, It's a meta package for the whole dist. If you remove it it recommends you to remove linux-kernel-image and the rest of the packages. | 15:13 |
| adrian15 | Hello. Do you know if Lubi / Unetbootin developer is round here ? | 15:13 |
| jk_ | fevel, it has a few dependencies which are required and versions are higher than ones available for gutsy, sorry | 15:14 |
| kmyst | anybody ever have amarok crash when they maximize the window? | 15:14 |
| Adantan_Alex | do u mean dual boot windows and ubuntu? | 15:14 |
| Adantan_Alex | no i dont ^^ | 15:14 |
| kmyst | and by crash i mean it crashes the gui to a login | 15:14 |
| cusco | sami: difference between apt-get and aptitude, apt-get does not remove nor install the recommended packages | 15:15 |
| cusco | sami: that should not be a problem really | 15:15 |
| adrian15 | Adantan_Alex: thank you anyways | 15:15 |
| jrib | sami: give a try and see | 15:15 |
| jrib | ^it | 15:15 |
| sami | jrib, Try dpkg --status ubuntu-desktop and check deps | 15:15 |
| jrib | sami: I know the deps recurse down a lot, it doesn't matter | 15:16 |
| sami | cusco, Well while you remove meta packages that depend on other packages as a mata should do. It should prompt you for a [Y/n] check box if you want to remove deps or now. | 15:16 |
| sami | And if you added the --purge it removes configs which it's looks like. | 15:17 |
| kmyst | anybody notice amarok crashing the gui to a login prompt if you maximize the amarok window? | 15:17 |
| LoLeN | guys can sb help me? | 15:17 |

| DJones | shjordan: i've not come across that error before, but as a thought, how old is your hotmail email address? I know MS changed hotmail so that only accounts which are paid for, or are about 5-6 years old can use smtp, that could be the reason why it won't work | 15:24 |

There's also a setting in your hotmail profile that you have to configure to allow smtp/pop3, although I can't remember where it is, I've got a feeling that your hotmail account might be too new to allow it though, I'm sure its older accounts than that | 15:27 |

| TomC | ah, yes...re-boot, the basic computer repair...thanks, jk_ | 15:56 |
| === Pinky is now known as Pinkeh | ||
| recon | cyclonut: use it with caution. default kill sends a "TERM" signal, meaning "Clean up and exit." kill -9 is the equivlent of sneaking up on said program, stabbing it repeatedly, and going "DIE DIE DIE". which may mess up your files since it can't clean up. | 15:57 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, the connection over here is slow so not able to connect the repos | 15:57 |
| recon | cyclonut: so always try "kill" by itself first. | 15:57 |
| bazhang | !aptfix | arvind_khadri perhaps try this as well | 15:57 |
| ubotu | arvind_khadri perhaps try this as well: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 15:57 |

| juannicolas | HI, since I cant cpy&paste more than 3 lines, I tried to add a 2nd monitor to use it as extenden desktop but my machine got scrwed up, so I copy back my xorg.conf and my desktop got very fuzy and I tried to run compiz --replace i got 3 lines error /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: Support for non power of two textures missing /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0 /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manag | 16:31 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: Fine, then try as suggested: sudo mkdir /mnt <-- the slash before mnt is important | 16:31 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, emulator means the i386 as am on AMD_64 ,right now i use the arch. specific one | 16:31 |
| gooody | bastid_raZor: any suggestion how to correct this? | 16:31 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: Then once more to try: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt | 16:32 |
| * delcoyote hi | 16:32 | |
| dweerf | ere4si: okare you familiar with the netstat -nr command? | 16:32 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: you mean a virtual machine(VM)? | 16:32 |
| ere4si | dweerf: nope | 16:32 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, LOL "cannot create directory '/mnt': File exists" | 16:32 |
| dweerf | ere4si: thats ok i was told that gives a gatway address | 16:33 |
| bastid_raZor | gooody; if it is the tubes then you'll have to wait till they unclog. basically wait till the issue is fixed down the line.. it possibly being out of your control to fix since it could be another servers | 16:33 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: What does: ls /dev/sda2 report? | 16:33 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, no... | 16:33 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, Permission denied | 16:33 |
| ere4si | dweerf: it gave me the gateway I used in /etc/network/interfaces | 16:33 |
| gooody | bastid_raZor: thanks. | 16:33 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang i re-installed dpkg now,then also no effect | 16:34 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: Use sudo with it then: sudo ls /dev/sda2 | 16:34 |
| dweerf | ere4si: i can always change the settings if on restart i do not get a connection | 16:34 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: you created a chroot env to run 32 bit apps in a 64 bit env? | 16:34 |
| bastid_raZor | gooody; i've actually had issues the same before and it was my ISP having issues. any other websites unavailable? | 16:34 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, entered it in, no output | 16:34 |
| ere4si | dweerf: sure you can - finding the router address is another way | 16:34 |

| ChaosTheory | sudo make gives me a bunch of errors when installing ndiswrapper. | 16:35 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, it shows up on the partition editor | 16:35 |
| ere4si | dweerf: I read the manual | 16:35 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: You currently have the partition editor open? | 16:35 |
| ere4si | dweerf: routers come with that info in a book or cd | 16:35 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: well I really dont know what you mean then; sounds like either the shell script or this emulator pack (?) have done some serious damage | 16:36 |
| bastid_raZor | gooody; i can connect to that.. my guess would be ISP issues .. possibly call them and see if they are having issues. | 16:36 |

| Adrian_Strays | genii, actually I just noticed something bizarre. I copied the original partition (which was extended) over to a new primary partition, deleted the original, and expanded the primary. That first partition I deleted is still showing up in the computer, but not on teh partition editor. Also, is it a problem that swap comes before the actual linux partition | 16:37 |
| ryrules1 | damn this is crazy I'm on my iPhone right now | 16:38 |

| arvind_khadri | bazhang, emulator would be the one which works for all the computers not architecture specific... | 16:39 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: link to this emulator pack please | 16:40 |
| Frozenball | dbrewer_rjr, You could always put it into cron or create simple while-loop | 16:40 |

| bazhang | arvind_khadri: not sure why you use the 64 bit; it is a lot of work and unless you have a huge amount of ram not really worth it--I have a 64 bit machine and the 32bit ubuntu runs great and is very easy to configure, both this release (gutsy) and the next (hardy) | 16:43 |

| genii | Adrian_Strays: So to find UUID of sda2, to use: blkid /dev/sda2 and use the UUID given between quotes there to replace old UUID in the menu.lst file | 17:11 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, the only entry I saw that looked like it needed to be changed was under the grub root device, and I just fixed that. None of the other lines seem to involve the hd0,3 change | 17:11 |

| jrib | CShadowRun: does setxkbmap work as described at http://colemak.com/Unix ? | 17:47 |
| darko | does ubuntu support TV tunners, i have one installed but it's not working | 17:47 |
| patrick_ | darko go system>preferences>advance desktop effects settings, make sure you have the "cube desktop" (must disable desktop wall) and "rotate cube" ..you may have to adjust desktop size too | 17:47 |
| CShadowRun | jrib yes | 17:47 |
| Pici | !tv | darko some of them, see here | 17:47 |
| CShadowRun | jrib thats how i am able to talk now, lol | 17:47 |
| ubotu | darko some of them, see here: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 17:47 |
| azuki | cvd-pr: more detailed info can be found in system>administration>screens and grafics | 17:47 |
| darko | already did that, but it's not working | 17:47 |
| CShadowRun | jrib but thats not an ideal solution, can't type a command every time i boot :( | 17:47 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, thats what I did, and then I searched the menu.lst for hd0,2 which didn't find anything. | 17:47 |
| patrick_ | darko did you adjust the size of your horizontal/vertical desktop? | 17:48 |
| cvd-pr | azuki, yesh its all right, but my question is my i can choose from 60-80 refresh rate? | 17:48 |
| cvd-pr | what is beter i higher or lower rate? | 17:48 |
| Stormx2 | Higher. | 17:49 |
| Pici | cvd-pr: It depends what you prefer to look at. | 17:49 |
| darko | no i didn't adjust it, how?, thanks ubotu i'll check it out | 17:49 |
| azuki | cvd-pr: that is video-card related, better video cards can display higher resolutions in higher HZ's | 17:49 |
| balle | hey does anybody know how i make my jack-out work on my labtop with gutsy? | 17:49 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, ? | 17:49 |
| Draggin | Good evening - could someone tell me what exactly I'd need to install to run Java programmes? I've found references to 'OpenJDK', IcedTea and the Sun Java JRE... Which would be the best thing to install (I'm not even sure if they'd all do the same thing to begin with. | 17:49 |
| azuki | cvd-pr: if you have the proper video card drivers and set to the right monitor, the possible HZ's should be displayed in the dropdown menu | 17:50 |
| bodde | hi... How much time "on an average" the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda will need to run on a 80GB HDD? | 17:50 |
| patrick_ | darko in advance desktop effects settings window..click "general options" at the top, then click "desktop size" | 17:50 |
| jrib | CShadowRun: you're on feisty? | 17:50 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: Yes, I'm around | 17:50 |
| cvd-pr | higher looks like alot of horizontal lines | 17:50 |
| CShadowRun | no, gutsy | 17:50 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: So booted now on livecd? | 17:50 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, yes | 17:50 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: OK, do you see again on the desktop: Disk ? | 17:51 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, No | 17:51 |
| stephan_ | hey | 17:51 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, | 17:51 |
| Adrian_Strays | Or wait | 17:51 |
| azuki | Draggin: icedtea should do the trick | 17:51 |
| stephan_ | is anyone else having issues getting their computer to hibernate? | 17:51 |
| Adrian_Strays | Genii, well originally when it booted I did not, but I mounted it manually | 17:51 |
| fbc | how does one undo a symlink from the command line? | 17:51 |
| Stroganoff | fbc: rm the symlink | 17:52 |
| stephan_ | has anyone found a permanent fix for hibernate? | 17:52 |
| Draggin | azuki - are they all just different implementations of the same thing? Because I almost feel 'safer' using a Sun thing, since they made it to begin with | 17:52 |
| bodde | hi... How much time "on an average" the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda will need to run on a 80GB HDD? | 17:52 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: OK. Where is it mounted? (what directory) | 17:52 |
| stephan_ | has anyone found a permanent fix for hibernate? | 17:52 |
| azuki | draggin: you would have to check the documentation for specifics on that... I use icedtea to load .jar.. and it works fine | 17:52 |
| Stroganoff | stephan_ hibernate is working fine | 17:52 |
| jrib | CShadowRun: that's what I meant :) Well, colemak is available by default on hardy. You can use some kludge until then (having the command run every time you login). Or you could just wait for hardy. Or you could take a look at the hardy packages and see how they enable colemak there. I don't know the details of what's going on | 17:52 |
| Stroganoff | stephan_ it depends on your hardware.. | 17:53 |
| Draggin | azuki, thanks. I'll give it a shot then :) | 17:53 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, same one I believe, how can I double check? | 17:53 |
| CShadowRun | jrib i said it was custom | 17:53 |
| CShadowRun | custom custom custom custom custom custom custom | 17:53 |
| fbc | Stroganoff, it tells me it's not a file, but a directory.. rmdir tells me it's not empty, and I'm afraid of deleting the contents for fear of deleting the actual files in the linked directory... | 17:53 |
| stephan_ | it hibernates fine in XP, when hibernating in ubuntu it sgoes blank then sends me to a login screen | 17:53 |
| CShadowRun | lol | 17:53 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: To check,from Terminal: mount | grep sda2 | 17:53 |
| CShadowRun | colemak-US doesn't work on english keyboards, it has to be modified significantly. | 17:53 |
| askand | Anyone here knows if the wine ubtunturepos is down? | 17:53 |
| jrib | CShadowRun: k, then see how hardy enables colemak and modify that | 17:53 |
| Stroganoff | stephan_: i mean it depends on the DRIVERS of the hardware | 17:54 |
| CShadowRun | lol | 17:54 |
| ricanelite | i see that Gnome 2.22 is out. Currently right now I'm running Gusty 7.10 the only way I will be able to upgrade to the new version of Gnome is when Hardy is released? | 17:54 |

| genii | Adrian_Strays: Yes | 17:58 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: (assuming you've saved the changes) | 17:58 |

| Lake | when port forwarding, does any request and packet relayed by the router from the internet to the local machine LOOK like it's coming from the router only ? in other words, can I just open my iptables to my router's internal ip and thus be able to get all forwarded packets? | 18:00 |
| Adrian_Strays | genii, it worked! Thank you so much! | 18:01 |
| Viden | Is there any backup solution that will recover a system from a failed dist upgrade? IE something that takes an image snapshot of the machine that can be fully restored if the upgrade goes south? | 18:01 |
| Lake | Viden, to my knowlede, Acronis does this pretty well | 18:02 |
| Lake | Viden: but it`s not free :S | 18:02 |
| genii | Adrian_Strays: You're welcome | 18:02 |
| Viden | Lake: we actually own acronis server, but i am thinking it does not work with Linux. I will check it out. Thank you for making me remember we had it | 18:02 |
| Lake | Viden: I tried it with an old 6.06 installation of mine and worked just fine | 18:03 |
| Viden | kk thanks | 18:04 |
| Lake | Viden: if Acronis Disk Image doesn't work, you can probably try Disk Director and just back up the entire hard drive/partition | 18:04 |

| TomC | yes... | 18:19 |
| ikonia | TomC: why ? use the desktop version if you want gnome | 18:19 |
| ikonia | TomC: the desktop makes an excellent server OS and provides much better support for home hardware | 18:19 |
| ikonia | TomC: it also provides gnome fully intergrated and ready to go | 18:20 |
| Lake | Steph33560: maybe you should find what chipset your dongle uses | 18:20 |

| arooni | ikonia, to ? | 18:25 |
| hwilde | ikonia, right, ssh keys, but i need to setup like 150 of them and I don't want to type the password over and over | 18:25 |
| ikonia | arooni: group writeable, world writeable ? your call | 18:25 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, PM ;) | 18:26 |
| ikonia | hwilde: ssh-agent will work from the command line, you can script inputing to it, 1 script deployed 150 times = easy | 18:26 |
| Lake | Steph33560: i am pretty sure CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) is the chipset itself | 18:26 |
| ZeroWing | Howdy. I'm using Gutsy at the moment. Just wondering if anyone else experiences Rythmbox lockups when they use multimedia keys. Because it's rather annoying me and I would like to know if there is a way to fix this. | 18:26 |
| jimcooncat_ | cvd-pr: you can firewall them off, but you could turn off or configure your servers correctly | 18:26 |
| cvd-pr | ufw deny 23? | 18:26 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, I'm pretty sure too, and for information it works on Win32 with bluesoleil generic software | 18:26 |
| zubair | how can i install software on ubuntu??? | 18:26 |
| ikonia | Steph33560: windows drives have no relevance | 18:27 |
| ikonia | zubair: use synaptic pakcage manager | 18:27 |
| azuki | ZeroWing: use Amarok instead : | 18:27 |
| ikonia | zubair: package manager | 18:27 |
| zubair | CLI?? | 18:27 |
| jimcooncat_ | zubair: Applications -> Add/Remove | 18:27 |
| ikonia | zubair: apt | 18:27 |
| Lake | Steph33560: I also found this apparently outdated lists that mentions CST as a manufacturer http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html | 18:27 |
| Jorg1 | somebody could help me with citrix? | 18:27 |
| ikonia | zubair: apt-get | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Jorg1: cirtix is windows isn't it ? | 18:27 |
| Lake | Steph33560: list was linked from an ubuntu forum discussion | 18:27 |
| ZeroWing | Azuki: Hahaha. I'm not a fan of Amarok. I've used it before, and I just don't like it. | 18:27 |
| zubair | thanks | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Jorg1: as in metaframe | 18:27 |
| jimcooncat_ | nah, aptitude | 18:27 |
| Jorg1 | yes, it is | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Jorg1: so how does that relate to ubuntu ? | 18:27 |
| arooni | how can i reboot my server ('reboot' seems to shut down but not cause it to automatically come back up) | 18:28 |
| Lake | Steph33560: and by CST, I really meant CSR | 18:28 |
| Jorg1 | but, i used wine , trying to open it | 18:28 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, I saw this list but didn't understood it | 18:28 |
| azuki | ZeroWing: really.. I was charmed by the .XM and .MOD implementation :) | 18:28 |
| ikonia | arooni: reboot should make it reboot | 18:28 |
| ikonia | Jorg1: join #wine-hq | 18:28 |
| astan | hello folks. how come *ubuntu doesn't have an /etc/init.d/iptables startup script for initializing iptables rules? | 18:28 |
| TheTaylorEffect | arooni, I use "sudo shutdown -r now" | 18:28 |
| amenado | Jorg1-> you can have a linux client for Citrix..download that version | 18:28 |
| astan | it seems debian has this, but not ubuntu.. | 18:28 |
| ikonia | astan: because you have to write your own, everyone has there own way | 18:28 |
| Jorg1 | ok, tnxs | 18:28 |
| ikonia | astan: debian is not ubuntu | 18:28 |
| Lake | Steph33560: well, its quite simple actually, every branded product actually has a less-known manufacturer make it's chipsets | 18:28 |
| ZeroWing | Azuki: I don't know... I'm rather fond of Rhythmbox because it integrates with GTK. Makes it look all perdy. | 18:28 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, ok ! | 18:29 |
| Lake | Steph33560: so, in the list, you have, an ACER usb dongle (BT500 (BU2-1)) who has its chipset made by CSR | 18:29 |
| zubair | when i minimize my window it disappears. | 18:29 |
| zubair | wat to restore it?? | 18:29 |
| Jorg1 | there's nobody in there | 18:29 |
| Steph33560 | Steph33560, yep | 18:29 |
| amenado | Jorg1-> you can have a linux client for Citrix.. .download that version | 18:30 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, Yep | 18:30 |
| ikonia | Jorg1: #winehq sorry | 18:30 |
| amadeux | HELP: I can't start X anymore. I just get a garbled screen. I have tried deleting all xorg.confs etc, and also Xorg -configure, but nothing works | 18:30 |
| Jorg1 | yes i did it | 18:30 |
| Jorg1 | but i got an error | 18:30 |
| Jorg1 | i tried both ways | 18:30 |
| Lake | Steph33560: so, whats your product name/model/maker/brand again ? | 18:30 |
| amadeux | Just for starters, maybe just an fb server would be nice, but I cant even get that up | 18:30 |
| Steph33560 | product name : "Heady" | 18:31 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, product name : "Heady" | 18:31 |
| Steph33560 | Lake, too bad :( | 18:31 |
| amadeux | anyone? | 18:31 |
| zubair | help me with this | 18:31 |
| azuki | those silly names | 18:31 |
| ZeroWing | Amadeux: Have you tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? It will guide you through reconfiguring xorg.conf. | 18:31 |
| astan | ikonia: everyone has their own way? but don't the majority just want netfilter rules restored from a file at boot-up? wouldn't it make sense to have a /etc/init.d/iptables or /etc/init.d/netfilter for the most common need, and those who need something special could just roll their own? | 18:31 |
| ikonia | zubair: help you with what | 18:31 |
| ZeroWing | Unless you use hardy. | 18:31 |
| boomish | hi | 18:31 |
| boomish | wow alot of people in here | 18:31 |

| zubair | how to restore it | 18:31 |

| zubair | cant i see them together | 18:32 |
| ikonia | zubair: sure | 18:32 |

| amenado | astan but its as easy to put your rulez in a file and add it to rc.local to start it? | 18:35 |
| hwilde | anybody know how to catch the ssh password prompt and automatically enter the password from a bash script? | 18:35 |
| rwycuff | DSpair:waht kind of issue do you have with winbind | 18:35 |
| Gilou | hwilde> use ssh keys to do that. | 18:35 |

| hwilde | Gilou, this is to setup the ssh keys thanks | 18:36 |

| ikonia | hwilde: try joining a scripting channel | 18:36 |
| rwycuff | DSpair:do you have the pam and kerveros stuff setup right | 18:36 |
| Gilou | hwilde> why do you want to do? | 18:36 |
| ZeroWing | Sorry. I don't know why I suddenly decided to leave. :p | 18:36 |
| hwilde | ikonia, wow I didn't know bash had its own channel. that is cool | 18:37 |
| DSpair | rwycuff: Yup!. I have winbind set up in nsswitch.conf and the kerberos works or otherwise I wouldn't have joined the domain in the first place. | 18:37 |
| hwilde | Gilou, I need to scp the key and then append it to authorized_keys about 150 times, so I have to type the password 300 times. I'm about 15/300 of the way there | 18:37 |
| ikonia | hwilde: ever thought of nfs/samba/fuse mounting the home dirs' and just copying the keys in with one command ? | 18:37 |

| hwilde | yeah | 18:39 |
| hwilde | how | 18:39 |
| Lake | Steph33560: depending on your will to buy another dongle, last thing you can do is post on the Ubuntu forum with the uttermost complete description of your problem and await an answer | 18:39 |

| ubotu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 18:39 |
| DSpair | rwycuff: Can you clarify your question? Winbind is part of the samba suite, so I would say yes. | 18:39 |
| ZeroWing | For some reason, I cannot get Ubuntu 8.04 to use seamless integration within VirtualBox. Has anyone else had this problem? | 18:40 |

| Steph33560 | Lake, nice formula ;) | 18:43 |
| DSpair | rwycuff: Thanks for that link though. I was using an older implementation of winbinds configuration. I have "winbind uid = xxxx" instead of "idmap uid = xxxxx"... | 18:43 |

| blue112 | Lake, it's a very old laptop with only 128mo of RAM | 18:46 |

| Lake | blue112: how much pain is the GUI in ? | 18:47 |
| Lake | blue112: well,when you installed, did the installation ever tell you things like "can't find sound card drivers'' ? | 18:47 |
| DSpair | rwycuff: Why move to Courier? Cyrus would be a better choice in my opinion, as that will give you ACL support from the start. | 18:47 |
| blue112 | Lake, on Xubuntu that's don't make problem, but my sound card doesn't want to play sounds :( | 18:47 |
| blue112 | Lake, no, the alternate installer isn't very user-frendly | 18:48 |

| gilan | how to install msoffice 2007 with wine? | 18:49 |
| Lake | blue112: ah xubuntu :D what's the laptop ? what's the laptops's motherboard ? what audio chipset is on said motherboard ? it could be that the xubuntu simply doesn't have the drivers for that chipset and therefore does'nt support it | 18:49 |
| blue112 | Bad idea | 18:49 |
| rwycuff | DSpair:its All Setup and running just cant seem to get configs right to connect to AD | 18:49 |

| DSpair | "? | 18:50 |
| blue112 | Lake, it's the old Sony Vaio, i don't know the motherboard, the audio chipset is "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 20)". I've compiled the last alsa-driver but that does nothing... | 18:50 |

| boris_ | how do i export my stored passwords in firefox 2 ? | 18:50 |
| DSpair | rwycuff: Try the short notation. I find it to be more reliable in authenticating to AD. | 18:50 |
| blue112 | And i've loaded the snd_via82xx module, but no change | 18:51 |
| rwycuff | DSpair Give me sec adn ill show you my config setup | 18:51 |
| Lake | blue112: I think ubuntu has drivers for that... wait a second. | 18:51 |
| blue112 | Lake, thanks. | 18:51 |
| rwycuff | DSpair,Short notation in AD never ran into that thought always had to use theDN | 18:51 |
| gilan | azuki: i tried but doesn't working, thanks | 18:51 |

| quikone8 | Hi I am a newbie to Ubuntu, I have 710 desktop installed, is it possible to change to server and keep the GUI, if so how? | 19:26 |
| HacksawSA | I have a java question. If you have a tomcat installation (from the ubuntu dpkg's), and you need to add in things like mail.jar, where shuld they go? Assume I know nothing of java, becasue that's true. | 19:26 |
| Flare183 | Survivorman: there you go | 19:26 |
| Lake | Gilou: why isnit it a good idea ? | 19:26 |
| nickrud | quikone8 simply install whatever servers you want to run | 19:26 |
| yaselmane | ok , thx man , when i want to make a new document , i try to name it , but the keyboard doesn't respond . on the other hand , when i open a program like openoffice the keyboard works again | 19:26 |
| consolidatedbord | Gilou: why is that? | 19:26 |
| Gilou | because NTFS is a proprietary format, and you have no guarantee linux can read/write to it properly | 19:27 |
| consolidatedbord | I use NTFS read/write in gutsy on a daily basis with both internal and external media | 19:27 |

| Survivorman | yaselmane, ie which program? command line? | 19:27 |
| Gilou | actually, you could run ubuntu on a free FS, and just use a fat32 partition to share files | 19:27 |
| yaselmane | no | 19:27 |
| yaselmane | any program | 19:27 |
| Gilou | (or NTFS..) | 19:28 |
| Lake | Gilou: yeah, the fat32 partition you just mentioned was the common ground i was talking baout | 19:28 |
| Lake | about* | 19:28 |
| yaselmane | the easy way , the right click | 19:28 |
| amenado | HacksawSA-> if you do not know java why are you even adding a mail.jar on a webapp server? what are your intentions ? | 19:28 |
| Gilou | ah well, then go NTFS if you need a large partition or big files | 19:28 |
| Lake | Gilou and consolidatedbord : so an extra NTFS partition to share lovely files should be enough ? | 19:28 |
| nickrud | ntfs/fat32 make good shared data partitions, but that's it | 19:28 |
| Survivorman | yaselmane, so you right click, go to create document and nothing happens? | 19:28 |
| Ayabara | I deleted my panels by mistake. How can I get back the default ones? | 19:28 |
| nickrud | !resetpanels | Ayabara | 19:29 |
| ubotu | Ayabara: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 19:29 |
| yaselmane | the document is created but i can't use the keyboard to name it | 19:29 |

| eisenhower | mv eclipse -T /ect/ Where the hell did that move it? | 19:29 |
| HacksawSA | Amenado: I'm trying to install a package (extremePlanner), which seems to want it. | 19:29 |

| Survivorman | yaselmane, ok. are you using gnome? does it even highlight the generic name on the screen? | 19:30 |
| pdelgallego | Hi I can watch any video using vlc, mplayer or totem. I've instaled ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs. What Im doing wrong? | 19:30 |
| amenado | HacksawSA-> does it not have a readme or install file to tell you the dependencies on other jar files? | 19:30 |
| pdelgallego | I can't | 19:30 |
| Ayabara | nickrud: thanks. any reason why that command shouldn't work in hardy? | 19:30 |
| yaselmane | the generic name is shown | 19:30 |
| Lake | consolidatedbord: ok I think it sounds right, I will be doing something like that then | 19:30 |
| yaselmane | i'm asking , why i can't type | 19:31 |
| Lake | consolidatedbord and Gilou: thanks for advice | 19:31 |
| pdelgallego | !codecs | 19:31 |
| nickrud | Ayabara should, but possibly the panel isn't running at all. try alt-f2 gnome-panel | 19:31 |

| yaselmane | now i'm using xchat and the keyboard works great | 19:31 |
| amenado | HacksawSA-> typically a webapp should be self-contained and you dont need to put a jar in the public access area, lest its like your logger or some kind of parser all the tomcat webapp uses | 19:31 |
| nickrud | Ayabara and for the future: #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 ;) | 19:31 |
| Ayabara | nickrud: alt+f2 doesn't bring up anything after the panels left me | 19:32 |
| nickrud | Ayabara got a terminal ? gnome-panel & (and doh, about the run dialog ;) | 19:32 |
| Ayabara | nickrud: I'll heed thy advice :-) | 19:32 |
| binarical-app | referring to custom kernel build command :make menuconfig . is the menu pre-configured to my system ? and should i need to add patches, perspectively unless there are massive errors down the line, is my kernel correct , where can i see its output or log ? | 19:32 |
| darko | can i install ubuntu from a USB drive | 19:32 |
| HacksawSA | Yeah, I wish I understood why it was suddenly asking for it. It sucks because it's causing the tomcat server to not start. It's possible it's related to the fact that I tuned the SecurityManager off, but I couldn't say why. | 19:32 |

| krim | I have generation 5.5 of Ipod Video with 80gb, but the GTKPod version in Ubuntu doesn't support it. Can someone explain the best way to install the latest version so I can try that? | 19:33 |
| nickrud | Ayabara don't close the terminal with the close button (will kill the gnome-panels) use exit on the command line when you want to close it | 19:33 |
| Survivorman | yaselmane, I'm looking it up, but that's a new one to me. so the keyboard is fine otherwise? And you're using ubuntu, not kubuntu? And it's gutsy? | 19:33 |
| yaselmane | i'm using ubuntu 7.10 | 19:33 |
| amenado | HacksawSA-> well, resolve your Security Manager issue first perhaps? | 19:33 |
| HacksawSA | It is, I turned it off, the app needs to write to the disk, I'm cool with that. | 19:33 |
| amenado | binarical-app-> an existing config file for the current kernel can be found at /boot/config* | 19:33 |
| Viroid | nhz-kz-kz, vfpfafrfp | 19:34 |
| nickrud | krim I'd suggest jus waiting a couple weeks for hardy, it will support it. But you could get the source for libgpod and gtkpod from gtkpod.org , run sudo apt-get build-deb gtkpod , and compile it | 19:34 |
| binarical-app | thanks amenado | 19:34 |
| Ayabara | nickrud: I don't have any command called gnome-panel actually... maybe I should move to #ubuntu+1 now? | 19:34 |
| HacksawSA | Okay, thanks for the effort, I have to run. | 19:34 |

| Rayyan | it didnt use to do that on my previous connection | 21:25 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: that would be lshw try it as root to get more indepth info | 21:25 |
| pirata | someone here with an x60 tablet oder x61 tablet? | 21:25 |
| Rayyan | which was some bad cable one | 21:25 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, which version are you using? Hoary and Breezy are not supported anymore. please see if you have one of those versions. | 21:26 |
| ompaul | !install | hwMoD | 21:26 |

| jonaskoelker | Hi all. I could use some help with my sdl games; some of them start running really slowly and jerkily a short while (1-5 minutes) after starting them (nexuiz, openarena, supertux, kobo deluxe using "SDL 2D"), while some of them run just fine (battle for wesnoth, kobo deluxe using "OpenGL/glSDL"). What's going on? How can I make all the games run at decent speeds | 21:26 |
| DeadLy_sp | i need encode movies for PSP. Help, please ! | 21:26 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: I got this dual core amd processor and its an m2 socket but most pentium 4s use LGA775 and there couple others. No you can do lshw fine but have to do it as root to get more info because some things aren't available to regular users | 21:26 |
| Rayyan | im on feisty | 21:26 |
| hwMoD | Thanks, though I'm looking for more specific things, like how to have each user print using his own username in the shared SMB printer, etc. | 21:26 |
| |Dede| | beastmasta, I've set up a server and it is PRETTY old Pentium 3 i think, but lshw does not work | 21:27 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: it doesn't work!? that's very odd this is what distro? | 21:27 |
| genii | Perhaps 6.06 | 21:28 |
| |Dede| | the server is running debian, I run Ubuntu | 21:28 |
| beastmasta | genii: 6.06 doesn't have lshw? what package installs it? | 21:28 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: see if you can apt-get install lshw its very useful command lists all system info | 21:28 |
| Rayyan | jowi: im on feisty fawn | 21:28 |
| genii | If debian the package is lshw | 21:29 |
| |Dede| | beastmasta: Is Debian suppossed to have it too? | 21:29 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, when you run "sudo apt-get update" what errors do you get? | 21:29 |

| tommmied | once i install the driver for my video card will that make my desktop run more smoothly? | 21:29 |
| Rayyan | when i was on cable | 21:30 |
| jonaskoelker | anyone care to help me? | 21:30 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, sounds plausible. set network interface to listen to DHCP | 21:30 |
| lcuk | jonaskoelker, my dear chap do not ask to ask, just ask as your name suggests jonask | 21:30 |
| Rayyan | how cna i do that? | 21:30 |

| jonaskoelker | lcuk: I always do that, then no one answers, then I ask "Can someone help me", then I get attention | 21:31 |
| Rayyan | in network settings, it is set to dhcp | 21:31 |
| Exteris | jonaskoelker, try running glxgears to test your GL | 21:31 |
| Rayyan | it must be in some other place that it is not set to that | 21:31 |
| Mathman | jonaskoelker: get 3d drivers for your video card it sounds like | 21:31 |
| lcuk | lol jon, i think you might be better directing your question into the sdl group | 21:31 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: most linux distros have lshw | 21:32 |
| jonaskoelker | Exteris: 750-900 fps | 21:32 |
| Boohbah | bullgard4: broadcast | 21:32 |
| lcuk | jonaskoelker, does it settle down and run better after a few minutes for the slow ones | 21:32 |
| |Dede| | so I need to do apt-get install, beastmasta? | 21:32 |
| Boohbah | bullgard4: those are ipv6 addresses | 21:32 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: try going root and running lshw I think debian doesn't allow you to do it at all as regular user | 21:32 |
| jonaskoelker | lcuk: ISTR that it goes back and forth between slowed and not-slowed | 21:32 |
| Exteris | jonaskoelker, and glxinfo (i get like 2500 fps on gears btw) | 21:32 |
| |Dede| | does not work, beastmasta | 21:32 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, is eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces set to dhcp or static? | 21:33 |
| bullgard4 | Boohbah: Thank you for explaining. | 21:33 |
| |Dede| | apt-get install lshw, beastmasta? | 21:33 |
| jonaskoelker | Mathman: Driver "i810", 3d enough for you? | 21:33 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker what gfx card do you have? | 21:33 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: do sudo su and login as root then run lshw | 21:33 |
| Rayyan | how can i check that? just a sec | 21:33 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: intel | 21:33 |
| |Dede| | I did | 21:33 |
| ibou | beast not possible with audacity or kino. Thanks | 21:33 |
| |Dede| | I did, beastmasta | 21:33 |
| Mathman | jonaskoelker: 700 fps isn't much. I get around 10000 with my cheapo video card. | 21:33 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, cat /etc/network/interfaces | 21:33 |
| ibou | Do someone know a soft to use a cue sheet to split audio files ? | 21:33 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: still nothing? that's real odd | 21:33 |
| lcuk | jonaskoelker, to use a car analogy, your 810 is about as 3d as a robin reliant is a racing car | 21:33 |
| jonaskoelker | glxinfo | grep direct ---> yes | 21:33 |
| Mathman | jonaskoelker: I'd say 3d isn't set up. | 21:33 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker i can help | 21:33 |
| beastmasta | |Dede|: ask someone on debian channel how to install it I guess | 21:33 |
| |Dede| | bash: lshw: command not found | 21:33 |
| switchcat | I need a good (easy) page layout program -- I need to make tri-fold pamphlets. Any suggestions? | 21:33 |
| Exteris | Mathman, in that case i'm fucked, cause i have a cheap card too, and get like 3000 fps | 21:34 |
| Jowi | lcuk, 945GM is good enough to run Urban Terror :) | 21:34 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root | 21:34 |
| Exteris | switchcat, scribus | 21:34 |
| |Dede| | I will, beastmasta, thank you | 21:34 |
| lcuk | jowi i wasnt talking about the 845 though was it | 21:34 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: in vi as we speak | 21:34 |
| lcuk | 945* | 21:34 |
| Mathman | Exteris: well, there's cheap and then there's cheap these days I suppose | 21:34 |
| beastmasta | ibou: you try lives or songbird? can grab a copy from getdeb.net I think | 21:34 |
| Jimbo | Tell me please a free shell account | 21:34 |
| Exteris | Mathman, this is a GeForce 8400GS | 21:34 |
| Exteris | it shouldn't be slow | 21:34 |
| lcuk | Jimbo, tell me please free credit card number | 21:34 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker add this to your "Device" section: Option "DRI" "true" | 21:35 |
| beastmasta | ibou: supposedly lives is pretty good for editing but its horribly complicated for most lol | 21:35 |
| Mathman | Exteris: pci express? | 21:35 |
| Rayyan | Jowi: i still dnt know how to check it | 21:35 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, I just told you. scroll up. | 21:35 |
| Rayyan | yeah whats cat | 21:35 |
| Exteris | Mathman, pci-e 256mb ram | 21:35 |
| Mathman | Exteris: yeah, that seems odd then. | 21:36 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, "cat" is equal to "type" in Windows | 21:36 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker now a reboot, or a ctrl+alt+backspace should be all you need | 21:36 |
| beastmasta | Exteris: yeah which nvidia drivers you using? | 21:36 |
| Rayyan | oh | 21:36 |
| Mathman | Exteris: unless you had other things going at the same time you did the test. compiz springs to mind | 21:36 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, "cat /etc/network/interfaces" in a terminal will print that file on the screen for you | 21:36 |
| ibou | beastmasta: lives is for video files. I just want to split a lossless audio file | 21:36 |
| azuki | noodlesgc: what does that do exactly? | 21:36 |
| genii | jimbo: http://www.bylur.net/free/ | 21:36 |
| Exteris | Mathman, i have compiz running, loadavg of 0.38 | 21:36 |
| Rayyan | ok now i get it | 21:36 |
| genii | Bah they always ask and run | 21:36 |
| Mathman | Exteris: well yeah, I'd expect worse fps with compiz going at the same time | 21:37 |
| beastmasta | ibou: there about a million little apps for doing that in repository I have no clue where to start is it ogg files? | 21:37 |
| noodlesgc | azuki adds DRI when you load the intel driver, DRI is direct rendering something | 21:37 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: did the M-C-^H; the framerate of glxgears dropped a slight bit, | 21:37 |
| Exteris | Mathman, 15838 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3167.514 FPS without compiz | 21:37 |
| azuki | noodlesgc: I also have performance issues ongames, but this you say is only for intel cards? | 21:37 |
| Rayyan | c | 21:37 |
| Rayyan | auto eth0 | 21:37 |
| Rayyan | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 21:37 |
| wam | Hi, is there some nice gui way of connecting through a cellular gprs connection or will I have to rfcomm and pppd by hand? | 21:38 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: also, if I move the glxgears window in compiz-fusion, the gears at the old position don't get overdrawn by the window that's now taking up that space | 21:38 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, do you have more than one network card listed there? | 21:38 |
| noodlesgc | azuki, it could work for you too, you should give it a shot | 21:38 |
| Rayyan | there is a usb0 and eth0 | 21:38 |
| Jowi | Rayyan, what is USB0? wifi? | 21:38 |
| SpookyET | How do I rebuild the initramfs with a custom DSDT? | 21:38 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker what brand intel card do you have? 965? | 21:38 |
| Rayyan | no same modem | 21:39 |
| jonaskoelker | (asking lshw) | 21:39 |
| Rayyan | it has ethernet and usb | 21:39 |
| Rayyan | but i dont have the usb connected | 21:39 |
| jonaskoelker | Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated ... | 21:39 |
| Mathman | Exteris: glxinfo spits out some alright looking stuff? | 21:39 |
| |Dede| | How do I send messages to another user logged in? Using bash | 21:39 |
| jonaskoelker | |Dede|: man write | 21:40 |
| === jaggy2 is now known as jagggy | ||
| Exteris | Mathman, glx is running alright but I have an old driver OpenGL version string: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.19 | 21:40 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker was your gfx card blacklisted? | 21:40 |
| Exteris | Mathman, how much do you think that matters? | 21:40 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: blacklisted? | 21:40 |
| Kl4m | I'm looking for help running usbview in gutsy. When I start it, it says "can not open the file /proc"bus/usb/devices". I tried modprobe usbdevfs but it doesn't seem to load anything | 21:41 |
| Jowi | jonaskoelker, that's a long due bug. nothing to worry about. 3d works much better when compiz is not enabled on these cards. | 21:41 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker did you have to do anything special to get compiz working? | 21:41 |
| Mathman | Exteris: probably not much. on my end it's saying 1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 169.12) | 21:41 |
| Exteris | Mathman, do you have such an expensive card then? | 21:41 |
| Pomicio | how can anyone even chat in here with so many users? | 21:41 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: I don't think so... | 21:41 |
| Mathman | Exteris: nope. 6200 or something like that. | 21:41 |
| Exteris | Pomicio, just put the name of who you want to talk to in front | 21:41 |
| jonaskoelker | Jowi: what's a long due bug? | 21:41 |
| Exteris | Mathman, then my card should totally pwn yours | 21:41 |
| Mathman | yeah, you would think | 21:41 |
| Mathman | Exteris: but then I don't run ubuntu either... | 21:42 |
| Jowi | jonaskoelker, when moving glxgears window. the gears sort of stick in place while the rest of the window frame moves freely. | 21:42 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: but I may be inaccurate in assigning significance to what I did, and remember badly... | 21:42 |
| Exteris | Mathman, how do you run glxgears then? | 21:42 |
| jonaskoelker | Jowi: ah | 21:42 |
| Mathman | Exteris: type glxgears. how else? | 21:42 |
| Exteris | Mathman, no i mean what are you on then? debian? | 21:42 |
| _boto | is there a console based admin tool for users and groups? | 21:42 |
| Rayyan | so jowi u have any idea what i should do? | 21:43 |
| Mathman | nah, fedora at the moment. depends on my mood. | 21:43 |
| Exteris | _boto, users-admin | 21:43 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker so the games are still slow? | 21:43 |
| _boto | ah, thanks | 21:43 |
| Jowi | jonaskoelker, for some reason, when running compiz, the intel cards is having issues that is not shown when compiz is disabled. not sure if it's the drivers or compiz. I disabled compiz myself. less buggy. | 21:43 |
| Exteris | _boto, sorry, that's graphical too | 21:43 |
| Jowi | jonaskoelker, I get much better performance without compiz. 3d games stop lagging. | 21:44 |
| icha | those are all pretty well documents compiz "features" | 21:44 |
| Mathman | Exteris: you see stuff about 16X pci express in your X logs? | 21:44 |
| crdlb | Jowi: jonaskoelker: that will be fixed by "DRI2" which is quite far along now | 21:44 |
| Exteris | Mathman, yes | 21:45 |
| Mathman | beats me then | 21:45 |
| icha | DRI2 may be far along, but the support of it by nvdia/ati is in question :P | 21:45 |
| Exteris | I do have this, and i don't know that: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x0422) rev 161, Mem @ 0xfd000000/24, 0xd0000000/28, 0xfa000000/25, I/O @ 0xc800/7, BIOS @ 0xfe9e0000/17 | 21:45 |
| Jowi | crdlb, yep, but in the meantime I stick to normal composite manager for shadow effects :) | 21:45 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: the games are still slow | 21:45 |
| noodlesgc | is dri2 only in hardy? | 21:45 |
| beastmasta | I'm getting hal error on login anyone else have same before? I can't choose quit then shutdown from menu either | 21:46 |
| mouseboyx | is there an addon for firefox that will change download units from KB/s to mbps? | 21:46 |
| crdlb | noodlesgc: it's not in hardy | 21:46 |
| beastmasta | mouseboyx: think that's an option under about:config | 21:46 |
| Mathman | Exteris: yeah, maybe try and get some newer drivers | 21:46 |
| noodlesgc | where is it? | 21:46 |
| mouseboyx | thanks | 21:46 |
| crdlb | it might make intrepid I guess | 21:46 |
| BOZG | Hey, everytime I boot Windows then boot Ubuntu afterwards, I get forced into fsck, does anyone know what might be happening? | 21:46 |
| Exteris | Mathman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=548877 ? it's the same card | 21:46 |
| Jowi | crdlb, jonaskoelker, for some reason it was less buggy in Beryl... but then again, Beryl was more crash prone instead. | 21:46 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta i had that, its hard to fix | 21:46 |
| beastmasta | mouseboyx: seriously don't need plugins for lot of things, most stuff already builtin just have to look through it | 21:46 |
| melo | irc://irc.DarkSin.net/legend | 21:47 |
| Mathman | Exteris: I hate to recommend installing the junk you get straight from nvidia, but perhaps in this case that's in order | 21:47 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: what did you do to fix it? | 21:47 |
| Viden | prelude-manager fails to reconfigure because it cant find the mysql server, but the server is running and other apps are using it. | 21:48 |

| kleenex | what program should I use to partition my disk? | 21:48 |
| jonaskoelker | kleenex: cfdisk? | 21:48 |
| Exteris | Mathman, it's not like i need the performance, but it would be nice :P | 21:48 |
| marlun | In windows if you've got a big collection of music you want every user to be able to access you often put it on a second harddrive like d:\music\ but in Ubuntu I'm not sure where to put data like that? It doesn't feel right to put it in a home directory since I want it to be a shared location. Where should things like that be located in the linux file structure? | 21:48 |
| jonaskoelker | kleenex: maybe gparted or qtparted if you like your mouse :) | 21:48 |
| Exteris | marlun, i use /media/data | 21:49 |
| kleenex | is gparted a freeware? | 21:49 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta ok, can you get a terminal? | 21:49 |
| _boto | excuse my stupid question, but in which package is users-admin? apt cache search does not find it. it is also not contained in console-tools | 21:49 |
| jonaskoelker | kleenex: it's in the apt repositories... | 21:49 |
| Exteris | _boto, users-admin is installed already, and i was wrong, it is a graphical tool | 21:49 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: anything thats needed I got just give me some info ;) | 21:49 |
| K-Nine | kleenex, it's a live cd. | 21:49 |

| kleenex | ahh so it is inside the ubuntu cd image I downloaded? | 21:50 |
| beastmasta | Acomaco: yeah like vnc over ssh you mean? or freenx? | 21:50 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta ok, in your /etc/rc.* folders there should be a link to dbus | 21:50 |

| azuki | binarical-app: wine ? | 21:54 |
| noodlesgc | smithey93_ instanbul | 21:54 |
| popey | !screencasst | smithey93_ | 21:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about screencasst - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:54 |
| Mr_Bad_News | Odd-rationale | 21:54 |
| popey | !screencast | smithey93_ | 21:54 |
| ubotu | smithey93_: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 21:54 |
| smithey93_ | can i sudo apt-get install em? | 21:54 |
| _boto | could it be that users-admin needs X? i have a server without X. is there another console tool for user administration? | 21:54 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: should I try sysvconfig for editing these services? seems would be easier | 21:54 |
| Odd-rationale | !upgrade | Mr_Bad_News | 21:54 |
| ubotu | Mr_Bad_News: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 21:54 |
| marx2k | Mr_Bad_News: do a dist-upgrade | 21:54 |
| popey | smithey93_: istanbul you can, but IMO rmd is better then istanbul | 21:54 |
| binarical-app | azuki: wine is not emulation its serious translation of windows application to run under linux | 21:55 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta i suppose you could | 21:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | thats what im trying to marx2k | 21:55 |
| kleenex | ok ill try the shell thing | 21:55 |
| smithey93_ | popey: how do i go about installing/using IMO? | 21:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i did dist-upgrade | 21:55 |
| popey | smithey93_: IMO = In My Opinion | 21:55 |
| azuki | binarical-app: I was talking about running games with good FPS.. | 21:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | but the wiki guide doesnt have anything on going from edgy to feisty | 21:55 |
| popey | smithey93_: rmd = recordmydesktop | 21:55 |
| kleenex | can I play mp3 files in ubuntu? | 21:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | just hoary > dapper > edgy | 21:55 |
| jonaskoelker | kleenex: yes | 21:55 |
| KeramikStar | hi | 21:55 |
| kleenex | and run itunes? | 21:55 |
| smithey93_ | popey: whoops, im not up to date with ebrebriations, what do u reccomend? and how do i install it? | 21:55 |
| jonaskoelker | kleenex: maybe | 21:55 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: ok at runlevel 2 it has k20 for dbus but rest are s12 | 21:56 |
| popey | smithey93_: i use recordmydesktop | 21:56 |
| rom | hi | 21:56 |
| rom | why, while openoffice is installed by default, the paquet "openoffice.org" is not selected? | 21:56 |
| popey | smithey93_: xvidcap is also good | 21:56 |
| Jowi | !itunes | 21:56 |
| ubotu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 21:56 |
| jonaskoelker | Jowi: not even with wine? | 21:56 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: hal has k16 at runleel 2 and rest are s12 as well | 21:56 |
| binarical-app | azuki:http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb | 21:56 |
| smithey93_ | popey: as i have a 19" widescreen screen the video is a bit messed up like 4:3 and not 16:9 | 21:56 |
| Jowi | jonaskoelker, no idea. | 21:56 |
| jonaskoelker | ok | 21:56 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta ok, make all into 12's | 21:56 |
| popey | smithey93_: what are you using to play it back? | 21:56 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: all into 12s for hal? | 21:56 |
| Jowi | smithey93_, are you using mplayer? | 21:56 |
| Exteris | Mathman, it doesn't really make much of a difference | 21:57 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta hal and dbus | 21:57 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: k12 or s12? | 21:57 |
| BlueGaust | who is using windows? :P | 21:57 |
| BlueGaust | hahahaha | 21:57 |
| azuki | binarical-app: ???? I have wine.. I am talking about a .glx | 21:57 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: what is this affecting anyway what is the norm for your system? | 21:57 |
| smithey93_ | popey: mplayer, vlc, totem mobie player, and ive had it tested in wmp (on virus os) | 21:57 |
| azuki | binarical-app: I use wine only for windows-based stuff | 21:57 |
| CShadowRun | 3 days ago, i was using windows on all 5 of my machines, now it's 4, tommorow it'll be 3, then 2...then 1... | 21:57 |
| Jowi | smithey93_, in ~/.mplayer/config add the following line: monitoraspect = 16:9 | 21:57 |
| CShadowRun | then the last one might just stay windows, more news on that later lol | 21:58 |
| Exteris | How do i remove the system restart required message, because i know i don't need to restart | 21:58 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta these change what order system processes start, hal needs dbus, so they must start at the same time | 21:58 |
| jonaskoelker | Exteris: you restart ;) | 21:58 |
| jonaskoelker | (scnr) | 21:58 |
| smithey93_ | jovi: its the same in like vlc to? | 21:58 |
| beastmasta | Exteris: pull up your task manager app and kill the updater program | 21:58 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta is hal starts before dbus, you get an error, thats what is happening to you | 21:58 |
| beastmasta | Exteris: can reboot when ever you feel like it | 21:58 |
| binarical-app | azuki: graphical acceleration ? like i said your best shot would be to compile your own kernel and run an emulator, you will get almost the same out put as a hard install without emulation | 21:58 |
| darkroast | anyone know how to set a keepalive for a VPN connection? | 21:59 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: ah okay I read some where how xfce issues stuff to hal from dbus so that makes sense | 21:59 |
| beastmasta | noodlesgc: so k or s and 12 or 20 which is it? | 21:59 |
| kleenex | when i run ubuntu (with the cd) it runs awfully slow | 21:59 |
| Jorg1 | hi there, does somebody knows why i'm getting this error, error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3, i've already installed all the libXm libraries | 21:59 |
| kleenex | is that normal? | 21:59 |
| Moduliz0r | how do I change the default home dir location for adduser? | 21:59 |
| b4l74z4r | when you watch a video in youtube, is it displayed with the opengl technology? | 21:59 |
| noodlesgc | beastmasta all numbers to 12, and whatever they have (k or s) leave | 21:59 |
| beastmasta | kleenex: that is to be expected its running from the cd drive and not the hard drive | 22:00 |
| noodlesgc | b4l74z4r no, flash | 22:00 |
| jonaskoelker | noodlesgc: might my issues be due to GPU overheating? | 22:00 |
| Jowi | smithey93_, I can't find the option in vlc. | 22:00 |
| smithey93_ | jovi: the thing is, it does it in all media players, is there not a option in the recordmydesktop config | 22:00 |
| noodlesgc | jonaskoelker i dont know. | 22:00 |
| beastmasta | jonaskoelker: install the overclocking app for your graphics card and run *clock -T to see thermal temperature for graphics card | 22:00 |
| Ante- | Ubunti 7.10, can i install it as a file on my windows system, or does it require its own partition? | 22:00 |
| b4l74z4r | when i play youtube videos in full screen especially, i experience severe horizontal tearing, does anyone else have the same? | 22:01 |
| Ante- | just want to ask before i start burning cd's | 22:01 |
| noodlesgc | Ante- not with fiesty, hardy can though | 22:01 |
| beastmasta | jonaskoelker: depending on the thermal paste and if the gfx card fan base is touching the cards processor or not you could be having heat issues, also try to keep the cards fan away from heat radiators and pipes | 22:01 |
| jonaskoelker | beastmasta: what's the overclocking app for intel's "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express"? | 22:02 |
| Ante- | hardy is the next version? | 22:02 |
| Kl4m | !hardy | 22:02 |
| ubotu | 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 | 22:02 |
| Jowi | smithey93_, in VLC: settings -> prefs -> Video (not a submenu but Video itself) you have "source aspect ratio" and "monitor pixel aspect ratio" but I haven't tried those options myself since i use only mplayer (non-gui) | 22:02 |
| smithey93_ | jovi: my personal preference for watching things in movie player/totem | 22:02 |
| beastmasta | Ante-: mount the iso image with daemon tools and run wubi if you don't want to repartition windows, you can get a gparted livecd to repartition windows after a scan disk and defrag it works perfectly fine except when you reinstall windows you have to backup grub | 22:02 |
| SpookyET | How do I rebuild the initramfs with a custom DSDT? | 22:02 |
| kleenex | where do I find the partition programs inside ubuntu? | 22:03 |
| rycole | ive got apache serving up subversion repositories. im using htpasswd to create users, and and basic http authentication. the problem is, the users i create can write to any repository, because authorization is given to users that have authenticated. does anyone know how to restrict users, or groups, to a single repository? | 22:03 |
| erUSUL | !gparted | kleenex | 22:03 |
| ubotu | kleenex: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 22:03 |
| beastmasta | Ante-: don't know if that would work mounting iso though best to just download wubi and run it | 22:03 |
| Ante- | hrm k | 22:03 |
| Ante- | or i just use vmware... bleugh :) | 22:03 |
| beastmasta | kleenex: if you want a command line app try fdisk and dd | 22:04 |
| larry__ | anyone know the terminal cammand for sun java install | 22:04 |
| darkroast | anyone know how to set a keepalive on a vpn connection in network-manager? | 22:04 |
| kleenex | where do I type that? | 22:04 |
| azuki | how can I set a different standard video player? | 22:04 |
| Jowi | smithey93_, in totem you go to View -> Aspect Ratio | 22:04 |
| kleenex | how do i open a console | 22:04 |
| beastmasta | Ante-: vmware can't do direct rendering and other accelleration it also has to run 2 operating systems so thereby can't sustain higher performance speeds. even though wubi translates ntfs its still faster | 22:04 |
| jonaskoelker | kleenex: alt+f2, xterm | 22:05 |
| noodlesgc | larry__ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 22:05 |
| kleenex | ok thanks | 22:05 |
| Tyler_ | can some one help me how do you register with a server so you can chat there? | 22:05 |
| beastmasta | kleenex: ctrl alt f1 to pull up a terminal, your desktop environment usually comes with a faster terminal app that has extra features than xterm as well for use in a gui environment | 22:05 |
| larry__ | cool thanks | 22:06 |
| beastmasta | Tyler: I think its /register or something | 22:06 |
| smithey93_ | jowi: thanks for your help | 22:06 |
| Tyler_ | beastmasta: thxs | 22:06 |
| Jowi | smithey93_, np | 22:06 |

| === FFEMTcJ_ is now known as FFEMTcJ | ||
| |Dede| | erUSUL: I could be interuppted by the other user with that command | 22:12 |

| noodlesgc | azuki just right click then click properties then Open With tab | 22:13 |
| jonaskoelker | |Dede|: you could be interrupted anytime unless you do `mesg n' | 22:13 |

| erUSUL | azuki: right click on mp3/avi file select Properties>Open with tab choose the desired app | 22:15 |
| noodlesgc | binarical-app it must not be a git repository | 22:15 |
| |Dede| | jonaskoelker, that would even work with offline users? so when they log on they get "you got new mail"? | 22:15 |
| hischild | binarical-app, because you're pointing either a folder to high or to low | 22:15 |
| jonaskoelker | |Dede|: yep | 22:15 |
| Kommwths | dixon2 its empty | 22:15 |

| veynom | !fsck | 22:16 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 22:16 |

| Vetsin | but the very fact that id be running off a cs may eliminate the sound point | 22:45 |

| elflap | Vetsin: right, there are tools to recover files, but to be sure to recover everything possible... i'd say it's better to make an image with dd | 22:56 |
| xrhstaraspatra | I found a way and activated a switch in compiz that draws the screen only at vertical freq | 22:56 |
| t__ | i tried converting everything over to a single raid volume w/o lvm and installing grub (on a second set of disks) and hit a brick wall there, so now i'm back to the original disks, trying to get lilo to work | 22:56 |
| MeTaL | thanks, i'll try it | 22:56 |
| Slart | MeTaL: but read some documentation first.. if you do something wrong you might destroy your only chance of recovering your files | 22:56 |
| xrhstaraspatra | and that had fixed the problem the made changes and now the same | 22:56 |
| xrhstaraspatra | i had fixed this once. | 22:57 |
| MeTaL | ok... | 22:57 |
| kohlrak | any idea how to force start gnome? | 22:57 |
| elflap | relating to Slart:... to MeTaL: if you make an image you have many chances to try different things to recover | 22:57 |
| MooCows | Hello, I am having trouble getting a printer to work , does anyone have any ideas where to start to get it to work , or see if it CAN work ? | 22:58 |
| veynom | !quota | 22:58 |
| MeTaL | well... i don't have anything too important... otherwise i would've backed it up on a cd before installing.. but would be nice to have some of it back... would save me some hustle... | 22:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about quota - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:58 |
| elflap | after making an image, mount it read-only | 22:58 |
| MeTaL | thank anyway... | 22:58 |
| GrueTamer | xrhstaraspatra: perhaps take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/149615 | 22:58 |
| elflap | i see... | 22:58 |
| MeTaL | i don't have a second hdd... so don't have that option... | 22:58 |
| Slart | MeTaL: I think elflap's idea makes a lot of sense.. with an image you could try stuff without fear of losing it all | 22:58 |
| kohlrak | no ideas? | 22:59 |

| lunartear | hmm, I have acl setup on a directory and all works fine when i create files and directories directly, but if i rsync or cp files into this directory they dont inherit the acl permissions properly.. in my rsync command I'm not specifying preserve perms either.

| aolaus | hi guys | 23:21 |

| aolaus | with a laptop lcd and a widescreen | 23:21 |
| randall | Genesis 1 | 23:21 |
| randall | The Beginning | 23:21 |
| randall | 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. | 23:21 |
| randall | 2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. | 23:21 |
| randall | 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. | 23:21 |
| FloodBot2 | randall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:21 |
| randall | 6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. | 23:21 |
| aolaus | has anyone done this before? | 23:22 |
| GrueTamer | aolaus: i did about 6 months ago, ill see what i can remember | 23:22 |
| GrueTamer | well...it wasnt widescreen, but eh | 23:22 |
| randall | 24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. | 23:22 |
| aolaus | the widescreen is the problem | 23:23 |
| aolaus | it is not fully supported by my intel 945gm driver | 23:23 |
| n-iCe | what's gutsy? | 23:23 |

| GrueTamer | n-iCe: you mean ubuntu 7.10? | 23:24 |
| jim | gutsy is as gutsy does | 23:24 |
| n-iCe | oh | 23:24 |
| n-iCe | is it good? | 23:24 |
| n-iCe | better then 6.10 ? | 23:24 |
| GrueTamer | depends on who you ask :P | 23:24 |
| jim | you decide | 23:24 |
| jim | ask yourself... install it and see | 23:24 |

| n-iCe | i see | 23:24 |
| GrueTamer | aolaus: not really | 23:24 |
| brian|lfs | I thought 6.04 was the best but will see how 8.04 is when it comes out | 23:25 |
| GrueTamer | 6.04? :) | 23:25 |

| GrueTamer | terminal command | 23:26 |
| jim | man fdisk | 23:26 |
| unop_ | jim, what does this give you? cat /etc/debian_version | 23:26 |
| GrueTamer | its a lowercase L, in case you had trouble with that | 23:26 |
| pingu_ | GrueTamer: ya tried that nothing happened hold on trying again | 23:27 |
| jim | unop_: oh, I'm not running ubuntu at all | 23:27 |

| Redeye2 | Dell D820 Laptop with Ubuntu X64 on it. When a user is logged in and leaves the machine for 20 mins or more it goes to a white screen and you cannot do anything to log in. I have to Ctrl Alt BackSpace to kill X. Once it restarts all is well again. What is causing this? | 23:27 |
| unop_ | jim, well, on gutsy that gives me cat /etc/debian_version gives me lenny/sid | 23:28 |
| Coniferous | Could possibly xscreensaver.. | 23:28 |
| Coniferous | have you looked at the settings for it redeye? | 23:28 |
| Redeye2 | How can I remove/disable that to test? | 23:28 |
| jim | aha, so ubuntu does not maintain /etc/debian_version? | 23:28 |
| Redeye2 | No... ... | 23:28 |
| Redeye2 | What should I look for? | 23:28 |
| Coniferous | goto system, preferences, screensaver | 23:28 |
| pingu_ | GrueTamer: it doesn't show up | 23:29 |
| brian|lfs | make sure its not on an opengl screensaver perhaps | 23:29 |
| Coniferous | then uncheck the box that says "activate screensavr" | 23:29 |
| Redeye2 | Done. | 23:29 |
| Redeye2 | I'll let you know. | 23:29 |
| Redeye2 | How it goes, thanks. | 23:29 |
| unop_ | jim, gutsy is ubuntu | 23:29 |
| Coniferous | thats true too. If its an opengl screen saver it might mess things up, depending on the drivers you have set up. | 23:29 |
| pingu_ | GrueTamer: this is what it gives me Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes | 23:29 |

| GrueTamer | whoa | 23:30 |

| Redeye2 | The Screen Saver works fine when it's on... I am not using an opengl one at th emoment. | 23:30 |
| darknessfall | ... | 23:30 |
| Coniferous | Cool, if that iwas whats causing the problem you should try switching screen savers, there are a few neat ones there. | 23:30 |
| Coniferous | Hum | 23:30 |
| Redeye2 | rgr. | 23:30 |
| Coniferous | Well, give that a shot anyways, its a good idea to rule things out. | 23:30 |

| brian|lfs | is anyone using the intel qx9650 in Ubuntu with a board that uses ddr3 ram? | 23:37 |
| unop_ | jim, the inference that ubuntu is not independent from debian just because a /etc/debian_version exists is probably faulty .. a lot of work is shared between the ubuntu MOTUs and the core debian developers (though not all) and ubuntu continue to contribute to the debian project in some ways and is somewhat true vice-versa | 23:37 |

| cheeseSlice | i was wondering if anyone could help me. my computer wouldn't start back up from hibernate and now firefox won't load. it just crashes every time i try to run it | 23:37 |
| GigaClon | Frogger626, they mean obtain in the english sense | 23:37 |
| Coniferous | Nope, you having an issue with it brian? or are you just cirious about compatibility? | 23:38 |
| Slart | Frogger626: you can obtain a permission.. don't know if you can obtain other stuff.. but I'd say it means "get" | 23:38 |
| GigaClon | :) | 23:38 |
| jim | unop_: yes, I understand that... the other possibility is they just don't maintain that file | 23:38 |
| ciccio13 | ciao | 23:38 |
| lordleemo | Frogger626: obtain ie download or order the ubuntu cd | 23:38 |

| cheeseSlice | could anyone help me with firefox please | 23:41 |
| Starnestommy | cheeseSlice: what kind of help do you need with it? | 23:41 |
| Slart | hmm.. not really the one I was looking for.. Infernalord , are you running nvidia or ati? | 23:41 |
| Slart | cheeseSlice: just ask your question and find out | 23:42 |
| === IdleOne is now known as dwidmann | ||
| Infernalord | Actually it's a new onboard intel :\ | 23:42 |
| === dwidmann is now known as IdleOne | ||
| cheeseSlice | my computer crashed coming out of hibernation, now firefox won't load. actually, it loads then closes | 23:42 |
| Slart | Infernalord: hmm.. intel usually works without a lot of tinkering.. | 23:42 |
| Redeye2 | Coniferous, Any other ideas? | 23:42 |
| Slart | cheeseSlice: try running it from a terminal and see what kind of error-messages you get | 23:42 |
| Slart | !intel | 23:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:42 |
| Coniferous | hum | 23:42 |
| Slart | bah | 23:43 |
| Coniferous | one sec | 23:43 |
| Coniferous | run this command and tell me what driver your using... | 23:43 |
| cheeseSlice | i've only be using ubuntu for a few days and was hoping someone could help, ran it from terminal. it loads, asks if i would like to restore the session then closes again | 23:43 |
| Frogger626 | Like how, cheeseSlice? | 23:43 |
| Slart | cheeseSlice: no errors at all? | 23:43 |
| cheeseSlice | none | 23:43 |
| Coniferous | cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | 23:43 |
| cheeseSlice | sorry | 23:43 |
| cheeseSlice | you;'re right | 23:43 |
| jim | about? | 23:44 |
| cheeseSlice | it is coming up with an error message about ebuyer plugin | 23:44 |
| Redeye2 | Nvidia | 23:44 |
| Slart | cheeseSlice: it crashes even if you start a new session? | 23:44 |
| cheeseSlice | yes | 23:44 |
| Coniferous | hum | 23:44 |
| jim | so where did you get this ebuyer thing | 23:45 |
| Slart | cheeseSlice: I'd find some way of uninstalling that ebuyer plugin.. manually deleting it or something. | 23:45 |
| Coniferous | I dunno then, you may have to try usng a different driver then nvidia. | 23:45 |
| cheeseSlice | from the firefox extensions website | 23:45 |
| Redeye2 | ok.. | 23:45 |
| Coniferous | Thats sort of out of my area of expertise. | 23:45 |
| Redeye2 | Is there an easy way to revert back to the normal driver... as in the open source one .. ? | 23:45 |
| cheeseSlice | is there a way to start it in safe mode? | 23:46 |
| Slart | Redeye2: I suppose you can always delete your xorg.conf and start a new one | 23:46 |
| Redeye2 | How do you start a new one? | 23:46 |
| Coniferous | Yeah, you should just have to change the driver line under "section device" to what the open source driver is.. i forget the open source one for nvidia though | 23:46 |
| Redeye2 | Will it create itself If I delete it ? | 23:46 |
| Slart | Redeye2: or use that "dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg" ..<--- I don't know if that's the correct command.. but it's similar | 23:47 |
| Coniferous | you can alyways try "vesa" but its pretty crappy | 23:47 |
| erisco | I found a list of drivers on linuxprinting.org, http://www.openprinting.org/driver_list.cgi, but I don't know how to locate a driver for my old Brother MFC 4800 | 23:47 |
| Slart | Coniferous: it's "nv" I think | 23:47 |
| Redeye2 | ok.. I'll give it a shot. | 23:47 |
| i1 | someone can help me finding a program to manage PDF forms and save it? i found just something called "Cabaret stage" but cannot install him (i'm a noob) | 23:47 |
| Coniferous | Yeah, actully | 23:47 |
| Coniferous | that sounds very familiar. | 23:47 |
| Redeye2 | I'll change to NV.. | 23:47 |
| Coniferous | Give them both a go. | 23:47 |
| Coniferous | make sure you use lowercase. | 23:47 |
| Redeye2 | ok. | 23:47 |
| Slart | illovae: pdf forms .. there aren't many programs for linux that handle anything but plain pdf's | 23:48 |
| Survivorman | cheeseSlice, in the terminal, try firefox -safe-mode | 23:48 |
| Slart | illovae: I've never heard of this "Cabaret Stage" | 23:48 |
| illovae | :o | 23:48 |
