| lopin | Could that have done this? | 00:13 |

| BSG75 | nerdparty: sudo -s | 00:35 |
| Fred_Sambo | nerdparty: sudo | 00:35 |
| Mathman | I don't think 2.6 kernels fit on floppies anymore | 00:36 |
| monkeybritches | I stand corrected | 00:36 |
| genii | Mathman: I don't think so either | 00:36 |
| nerdparty | How would I go about adding my user to the admin group? | 00:36 |
| sarah___ | hey guys, just wondering is it possible to partition my harddrive for a dual boot of ubuntu/windows? | 00:36 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; did you create your user during the install? | 00:37 |
| webtoe | detedagowa: probably best if you explain the situation completely and we might be able lto give better advice if we're being useless | 00:37 |
| BSG75 | nerdparty: are you the only user in your system?? you probably already are | 00:37 |
| Fred_Sambo | sarah____ | 00:37 |
| Fred_Sambo | no | 00:37 |
| sarah___ | Fred_sambo how come? | 00:37 |
| Fred_Sambo | just kidding | 00:37 |
| dimas_ | bastid_raZor doesnt want to work...ahhaaahhhh!!!!fkggoptjofg | 00:37 |
| bastid_raZor | sarah___; yes, are you using windows or ubuntu now? | 00:37 |
| BSG75 | sarah: yes .. I am on a dual boot at the very moment | 00:37 |
| webtoe | sarah___: yes you can. | 00:37 |
| Fred_Sambo | sarah___just kidding | 00:37 |
| nerdparty | BSG75, bastid_raZor: No, I'm not, I got the computer from my brother, it's my computer now and he wants nothing to do with it, so I want to delete his user and make myself admin. | 00:38 |
| monkeybritches | sarah__ : yes, just start up with the Ubuntu disc in the drive and it should give you an option to partition for dual boot during installation | 00:38 |
| bastid_raZor | dimas_; which part does not work? i followed that guide and mine works perfectly | 00:38 |
| detedagowa | well, like i said earlier the laptop i need to install ubuntu on has no OS at all....no cd rom drive otherwise id just use the cd, so my only other option is a net install but i dont understand how to do a net install | 00:38 |
| sarah___ | well bastid_raZor i had gusty, and loved it. But i had to install windows to run software for my math class. Now i am on windows with no ubuntu | 00:38 |
| sarah___ | and i feel sad :( | 00:38 |
| sarah___ | so i need to get my ubuntu back | 00:38 |
| webtoe | sarah___: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot that should help maybe... | 00:38 |
| Axioplase | Hi. | 00:38 |
| max_ | Someone Help: the xorg process slowly accumulates more and more memory usage over time. it's now 785MB. Any tip on how to troubleshoot? | 00:38 |
| sarah___ | thanks | 00:38 |
| monkeybritches | Did you try running that software in Wine? | 00:38 |
| dimas_ | bastid_raZor doesnt connect to to server | 00:38 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; you'll have to use his account to add your user to the admin group. | 00:38 |
| Fred_Sambo | Let's see what ubotu says | 00:38 |
| sarah___ | i only have a 40GB harddrive is that ok? | 00:38 |
| Fred_Sambo | !dual boot | 00:38 |
| ubotu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 00:38 |
| elmer | Is there a way I can make Compiz NOT minimize all windows when I switch desktops? | 00:38 |
| webtoe | max_: what version ubuntu? it sounds like a memory leak... | 00:38 |
| webtoe | sarah___: yes | 00:39 |
| monkeybritches | I only have 8gb on this partition... | 00:39 |
| nerdparty | So if I make myself admin I can delete his user even though he's the one who installed it? | 00:39 |
| BSG75 | sarah__: you need about 5gb for an okay install.. you can do it on less if you pick and chose what you want | 00:39 |
| bastid_raZor | sarah___; 40G is fine.. in the LiveCD simply make partitions for ubuntu .. / and a /swap are all that are really needed a /home is wise to create but not a must | 00:39 |
| Axioplase | For some unknown reason, my ubuntu happens to be very slow at booting programs: vi or emqcs take approx 10s to launch from a terminal. Sometimes, a reboot suffices to fix that, but not always. And this problems appears immediately, not after a while of uptime. Known bug? | 00:39 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; yes, | 00:39 |
| nerdparty | Wish me luck. | 00:39 |
| BSG75 | oh that 5gb included space for you to play with too :) | 00:40 |
| === _Silhouette__ is now known as _Silhouette_ | ||
| dimas_ | bastid_raZor doesnt connect to server | 00:40 |
| sarah___ | thanks guys | 00:40 |
| webtoe | Axioplase: no idea. What are your system specs. Are you running them from Gnome termnial? what version of ununtu? | 00:40 |
| BSG75 | axioplase: are you running azureus? | 00:40 |
| elmer | Is there a way I can make Compiz NOT minimize all windows when I switch desktops? | 00:40 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: err, gutsy on a 1.6Ghz laptop.. | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | dimas_; if you followed that guide to the letter it should work. :\ sorry i have to run | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | dinnterTime | 00:40 |
| BSG75 | elmer: yes | 00:40 |
| max_ | webtoe : well it happens with 7.10 , but I'm using 8.04 now | 00:41 |
| elmer | BSG75, could you tell me how? | 00:41 |
| elmer | or link a guide | 00:41 |
| Axioplase | according to strace, it seems to be polling/reading some ICEauthority related stuff, though I'm nt sure | 00:41 |
| BSG75 | elmer: it's one of the damn settings in advanced desktop effects settings | 00:41 |
| max_ | webtoe - it's definately a mem leak , but how do i troubleshoot / fix those? compile xorg from source? | 00:41 |
| elmer | BSG75, OK, I'll look there. Before I do do you know which one? | 00:41 |
| Axioplase | BSG75: I don't know if it was a joke, but no. It happens from the very boot time. Gnome itself takes several minutes to launch after I log in from gdm. | 00:41 |
| webtoe | Axioplase: vi should be pretty nippy. Emacs is always a bit slower. What amoutn of RAM and what graphics card. Are you starting the console version of the graphical version of the programmes? | 00:42 |
| cyka | hegemon: | 00:42 |
| daedra | do you need a crossover cable or a straightthrough cable to connect two computers via ethernet? | 00:42 |
| BSG75 | elmer: good luck .. I knwo it's there .. I just dealt with the same annoying thing | 00:42 |
| webtoe | max_: yes :P If you're using gutsy etc then this could be a firefox problem (if in doubt, blame firefox memory leaks) | 00:42 |
| daedra | and what do you need to do on each computer to share internet? | 00:42 |
| zaemis | is there a way to view reverse dependencies? like, which packages installed on the system require on a given package? | 00:42 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: I run FBSD on that same laptop, and vi/emacs run within microseconds. I have an integrated intel graphic card | 00:42 |
| gilster32 | i have some issues with a particualr process, 'evolution-data-server' it occasionally load processort to 97-98% and stays there, anyone experience this? | 00:43 |
| tahlvin | How do I delete a user and their home directory at the same time? | 00:43 |
| webtoe | max_: | 00:43 |
| elmer | BSG75, Yeah. It's kind of cryptic in this thing. I have no clue what one it is... | 00:43 |
| BSG75 | axioplase: it was a joke and wasn't .. but if you are having that issue from boot .. try hdparm and check things out from there | 00:43 |
| nickrud | daedra crossover between, and set up forwarding on the one directly connected (firestarter can do that for you) | 00:43 |
| BSG75 | elmer: LOL I hear ya | 00:43 |
| BarryToeman | tahlvin: userdel -r username | 00:44 |
| genii | tahlvin: sudo deluser --remove-home username | 00:44 |
| daedra | nickrud: is firestarter a front end for iptables/netfilter | 00:44 |
| BarryToeman | i win | 00:44 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: running vi from console is immediate though (but emacs still isn't) | 00:44 |
| nickrud | gilster32 do you use evolution mail? if not, remove the package evolution data server and the rest of evolution | 00:44 |
| nickrud | daedra yes | 00:44 |
| Axioplase | I guess it's related to some X crap, and that those apps wait for an event or something... | 00:44 |
| BSG75 | I am trying to figure out how to minimize thunderbird to the bloody tray .. I refuse to believe that they wrote an awesome app like tb and didn't put in minimize to tray option .. hell even nagwares that I don't want does that | 00:44 |
| webtoe | axiplase: emacs never is. It depemnds on what lisp files it decides to compile when it starts. Mine is dog slow which is a pain in the arse | 00:45 |
| gilster32 | nickrud: no i actually dont use it at all. i was just wandering why it would be on to begin with. and why it goes into these high power processor mode | 00:45 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: 10s for a fresh install of emacs ? you must be joking. | 00:45 |
| nickrud | gilster32 bug | 00:45 |
| elmer | BSG75, do you know if it's caused by an effect or what? | 00:45 |
| webtoe | max_: its hard to diagnose without compiling with source and tracing. Do yo know what programmes you're using a lot of ? firefox? flash? | 00:45 |
| McGod | Guys, How do I re-install NetworkManager w.o any internet | 00:45 |
| BSG75 | axioplase: what does "top" say? are you running something that's hogging process? | 00:45 |
| daedra | nickrud: wow - that is so much simpler than ubuntu! | 00:45 |
| daedra | Its working :D | 00:46 |
| McGod | last resprt is reinstall | 00:46 |
| daedra | nickrud: I mean *windows | 00:46 |
| webtoe | Axioplase: it depends on RAM, whether you're doing the GTK version or not | 00:46 |
| BSG75 | elmer: looking | 00:46 |
| nickrud | BSG75 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2110 | 00:46 |
| elmer | thanks BSG75 | 00:46 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: a few deskbar applets. not more. Nothing terrble in top | 00:47 |
| BSG75 | nickrud: I found that .. but it doesn't have a download link | 00:47 |
| McGod | How do I install NetworkManager from the cd? | 00:47 |
| genii | BSG75: Perhaps take at look at alltray, it can minimize apps which normally won't on their own. It's in the repos | 00:47 |
| BSG75 | or am I mistaken? | 00:47 |
| webtoe | Axioplase: bear in mind, the latest 2.22 of emacs is no longer really a text editor. Its a lisp virtual machien basically with a load of the internal functions ported over to elisp | 00:47 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: xterm too takes a dozen or two seconds to launch... | 00:47 |
| BSG75 | genii: I have installed :) .. that will be my next step .. thank you :) | 00:47 |
| daedra | nickrud: is there a simplified mounting application in ubuntu? I'm dealing with ntfs | 00:47 |
| Axioplase | I really think that it's because of X somehow... | 00:47 |
| webtoe | axiosplase: hmm, possibly a hard drive issue then. check dmesg. If you're using an IDE hard drive check that it is running 133Mhz rather than 33 | 00:48 |
| elmer | dangit | 00:48 |
| elmer | I changed a setting or something | 00:48 |
| elmer | I have no title bars | 00:48 |
| jcornwall | McGod, find /media/cdrom | grep network-manager and dpkg -i it | 00:48 |
| elmer | >.< | 00:48 |
| BSG75 | elmer: LOL | 00:48 |
| webtoe | Axioplase: if it is, its because of the hardware driver probably | 00:48 |
| BSG75 | elmer: look into your Emerald theme manager | 00:49 |
| webtoe | axiplase: are you starting emaccs as a gtk app or as a cli app? | 00:49 |
| nickrud | BSG75 no, you're right. I tracked down the home page, seems to be obsolete. Sorry http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/installation.html | 00:49 |
| georgeguitar | hi, somebody who can help me with my usb flash memory? | 00:49 |
| Ssam` | what is that add/remove menu thingy called | 00:49 |
| BSG75 | nickrud: hey don't be sorry .. you tried to help .. what more can I ask for :) | 00:49 |
| Ssam` | if u want to apt-get it? | 00:49 |
| elmer | BSG75, for the minimizing or title bars? | 00:49 |
| samurailink3 | @Ssam you are thinking of synaptic | 00:49 |
| BSG75 | title bars | 00:49 |
| elmer | I fixed | 00:49 |
| elmer | it | 00:49 |
| BSG75 | woot | 00:49 |
| BSG75 | you da man :) | 00:49 |
| Ssam` | i have synaptic | 00:49 |
| Ssam` | lol | 00:49 |
| elmer | thanks | 00:50 |
| === kamus is now known as zettairedo | ||
| nickrud | daedra no, but doubleclicking the device in the filemanager will mount it | 00:50 |
| Ssam` | i want my debian to look as much like ubuntu as possibel | 00:50 |
| samurailink3 | @Ssam , or you could use 'sudo apt-get programname' | 00:50 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, usb flash memory or flash drive? | 00:50 |
| webtoe | axioplase: you need to apply a fuzzy regex to my typing as i keep spelling your name wrong... | 00:50 |
| elmer | So now all I need to do is figure out how to keep the windows open when I switch desktops | 00:50 |
| wtf | hi! im trying to install ubuntu.. but when i try to do partitionate the hd... it gaves me some error (its not especified...) then i try to do the partitioning using G part and i get the same error... can some1 tell me whats wrong? ask me and ill send you the images via imageshack url (or can i paste em in the channel?) | 00:50 |
| Ssam` | i cant even seem to log out as user :/ | 00:50 |
| nerdparty | Okay, just made myself admin, now what do I do to delete a user and their home directory again? | 00:50 |
| webtoe | brb | 00:50 |
| samurailink3 | @Ssam` - That is strange... any messages? | 00:50 |
| genii | wtf: Better to just type in here exactly what it says in the error, vague or not | 00:51 |
| Ssam` | nope....u click quit it lists logout and shutdown and reboot are unclickable unless ur root | 00:51 |
| Ssam` | and debian people are ignoring this issue | 00:51 |
| Ssam` | jeewiz | 00:51 |
| daedra | nickrud: it doesn't mount writeable | 00:51 |
| wtf | it makes the gpart to crash u.U | 00:51 |
| max_ | webtoe : something tells me its a graphics thing... im using compiz | 00:52 |

| wtf | and it can't | 00:52 |
| Ssam` | one said its a security thing...but i am using Xfce and there isnt a graphical user management | 00:52 |
| Chronix | i need a bit of info | 00:52 |
| Mifuyne | wtf, how many hdd are you partitioning? How many partitions are you creating at a time? | 00:52 |
| wtf | can i paste here the url to the snaopshots? | 00:52 |
| ChaosTheory^ | Does Downloader for X automatically integrate with Firefox? | 00:52 |
| genii | wtf: Are you trying to make some partition with a filesystem like ntfs or xfs or similar? | 00:52 |
| Starnestommy | wtf: yes | 00:52 |
| samurailink3 | @Ssam` - Ah-hah! I see... Lemme find the name of the program, you should be able to apt-get that and take care of it. | 00:52 |
| webtoe | max_: maybe, what graphics card you using? and what ubunut? | 00:53 |
| Chronix | if i am a hardcore gamer and install ubuntu can i still play my games at full performance? | 00:53 |
| wtf | 1 hd and 1 partition in the 1st half with 4 logic partitions | 00:53 |
| hegemon | ok, I don't think my xorg is acutally reading from the xorg.conf file | 00:53 |
| genii | gah fredorik | 00:53 |
| hegemon | anyone know a workaround? | 00:53 |
| Farkie | rofl | 00:53 |
| Ssam` | thanks man owe u one if u do that | 00:53 |
| elmer | Chronix, some games will work in Cedega, but not all | 00:53 |
| wtf | http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdevsdagpartedyg6.png | 00:53 |
| samurailink3 | SSam` - You should 'sudo apt-get install users-admin' | 00:53 |
| wtf | http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorox2.png | 00:54 |
| elmer | BSG75, any luck with the setting? | 00:54 |
| nickrud | daedra then you will need to set up /etc/fstab, something like: UUID=<see blkid for uuid of device> /media/<device> ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 . device is the /dev/<device> | 00:54 |
| Ssam` | which is why i come here instead of debian usually....i still like ubuntu just waiting for the new release | 00:54 |

| Mr_Bad_News | webtoe, | 00:55 |
| geZe | no | 00:55 |
| samurailink3 | Ssam` - Yea, that's a good idea | 00:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it was working fine until i upgraded | 00:55 |
| webtoe | hmmm, you're the second person who has called me web_knows... | 00:55 |
| geZe | it also doesn't happen with all letters, only long ones | 00:55 |
| max_ | webtoe - well , im using ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 on a Geforce 6800, but it also happened on my laptop which is a ATI Radeon, and had mem leaks with that using desktop effects under XGL. remember its only the xorg process that is mem leaked | 00:56 |
| Ssam` | yea.....ubuntu people are pretty helpfull and tolerent if u go on other channels for help and ur a newbie theyll just say RTFM even though u have Read the friendly manual | 00:56 |
| Mr_Bad_News | typo sorry | 00:56 |
| Chronix | will ubuntu affect me playing counter-strike:source? | 00:56 |
| Mifuyne | O.o it sounds like it's limiting how much you can type per line... | 00:56 |
| Farkie | Depends how you run it Chronix | 00:56 |
| geZe | mh, no, fore example if i type two m, it is already overlapping | 00:56 |
| Mifuyne | ooh | 00:56 |
| nerdparty | Muahahaha! I am now admin and the only user! | 00:56 |
| webtoe | Mr_Bad_News: do you know the exact chip? It should be reported by sudo lspci -vv | 00:56 |
| geZe | looks like an m with an n in the middle | 00:56 |
| samurailink3 | Ssam` - Yea, I've seen that and it kinda angers me. There are people that want to learn, not just get everything on a plate and served to them. The people who know should help out. Everyone has problems at one point or another, even guru's. That is the mentality open source was build on. | 00:57 |

| Mifuyne | what's your keyboard layout set to? | 00:57 |
| genii | Chronix: If you are a hardcore Windows gamer I'd suggest just keeping it around and dual boot. Many games don't work that great under wine or cedega. | 00:57 |
| wtf | anybody looked at my screenies? something wrong? | 00:57 |
| webtoe | max_: its difficult to say still. Drivers are implemented as modudels for X so they'll show up under its memory footprint. It could be any number of X problems | 00:57 |
| Ssam` | lol everyone starts somewhere | 00:57 |

| Mr_Bad_News | and it says i have 99% connection | 00:58 |
| Ssam` | aight thanks | 00:58 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, what's wrong with your Flash drive? | 00:58 |
| Mr_Bad_News | but it only recieves one packet at a time | 00:58 |

| SunRayCafe | okay, I did a stupid thing... I managed to change the path to the default Text Editor application in gnome... Does anyone have the default path handy? | 00:58 |
| elmer | BSG75, yes, and even the Cube does it | 00:59 |
| webtoe | max_: as its showing under X it maybe due to xgl? | 00:59 |

| Hamled | Recently I've been losing the ability to actually move around the windows on my desktop (dragging from the title bar, alt+grab, and the move menu selection all don't do anything), sometimes on a single window, but more recently on every window and even after rebooting. I'm using GL Desktop, does anyone have any idea what might be causing it? | 01:04 |
| webtoe | axioplase: its just that a couple of people have misspelled my name in the same way. I think pidgin or something is auto correcting my name... | 01:04 |
| Draggin | Hey again. I know I've probably asked this before, but I can't seem to remember... I understand the concept of mounting, but if I have a system that doesn't automount, and I stick a USB key in the computer, how do I know where the device is present in the system in order to mount it? | 01:04 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, I have this error with the insmod, the first It didn't work | 01:05 |
| georgeguitar | insmod: can't read 'usb-storage': No such file or directory | 01:05 |
| cricket____ | oh yeah i used on both os x and windows | 01:05 |
| Axioplase | webtoe: we<tab> in irssi. And a chan with more than 1000 people makes completion errors very frequent | 01:05 |
| Mifuyne | hmm | 01:05 |
| samurailink3 | @Draggin you could user 'sudo fdisk -l' to get a list of everydisk on the system | 01:05 |
| Axioplase | anyway.. | 01:05 |
| ChaosTheory^ | Does "Download for X" automatically integrate with Firefox? | 01:05 |
| redips1 | Will my system automatically upgrade to 8.04? | 01:05 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, you've tried disconnecting and reconnecting your flash drive, right? | 01:05 |
| Hamled | Draggin, you could try to guess which it might be in /dev or read dmesg to see the usb driver information | 01:05 |
| Tu13es | can anyone help me with Wake-on-LAN? My NIC turns off when I go into standby or when I halt | 01:05 |
| webtoe | Draggin: chekc dmesg. Type it at a command prompt and it will tel you what it detected when the stick was stuck in. You can then mount it | 01:05 |

| lewench | Im having a WINE problem. Installed the package but it will not open. I see it under Application, but again it won't open. Tried remove and package and reinstalling it but that didn't do anything either. Any help please? | 01:06 |
| Draggin | Wow... lots of info... Let me check those out... Thanks :) | 01:06 |
| samurailink3 | @redips1: it will show in your update manager on the release date, or you can get it early (in beta form of course) | 01:06 |
| lewench | !wine | 01:06 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 01:06 |
| webtoe | Tu13es: It will do, those are power saving modes | 01:06 |

| samurailink3 | @redips1: of course :) | 01:07 |

| orlandoj | hi all. I have an Ubuntu NIS Server and Ubuntu Clients. How can I change the password in the client machine ? | 01:07 |
| coach_z | i am having a hard time ejecting/unmounting my external drive....ubuntu keeps telling me that the drive can not be ejected, also that it 'still has information to write to the drive' but im not running anything from that drive....can anyone help me with this please? | 01:07 |
| aka_missa42 | ok bye | 01:07 |
| samurailink3 | Well, I'm out Ssam`: I hope that fixes your login issue. If not, you could look up how to edit users with bash. | 01:08 |
| redips1 | Everyone have a good night! | 01:08 |
| nerdparty | rycole: I don't know, I think it's called unrar-free and I just got it through Synaptic. | 01:08 |
| rycole | nerdparty: oh, never heard of it. i usually use apt-get. | 01:08 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; you can read the doc for it by using man unrar in a terminal | 01:08 |
| Ssam` | awww :( | 01:08 |
| cbrr | how to install drivers for my ati radeon xpress 1100? | 01:08 |
| Ssam` | broken dependencies | 01:08 |
| tick | sry to jump in here but does anyone know a solution to hooking my phone up through usb ? | 01:08 |
| Ssam` | aight samurailink3 thanks | 01:08 |
| nerdparty | bastid_raZor: How do I do that? | 01:08 |
| webtoe | Tu13es: If a machine is sleeping, it probably won't wake up | 01:09 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; open up a terminal then type man unrar | 01:09 |
| phs5555 | how do i change screen resolution with the cli? | 01:09 |
| Tu13es | webtoe: it should, though | 01:09 |
| Draggin | webtoe and Hamled... I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what I'm seeing when I type dmesg... What am I looking for in there? | 01:09 |
| webtoe | tick: depends on the phone and how you are trying to connect it to your machien | 01:09 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, do you know if you've done anything else? | 01:09 |
| tick | sung a707 and usb cable:) | 01:10 |
| Hamled | Draggin, try dmesg | grep usb | 01:10 |
| tick | err samsung | 01:10 |
| lewench | Anyone know why when I click on WINE to start it won't open? I installed ventrilo which was working before, but now when I start it up it just says its opening but won't open and the tab closes | 01:10 |
| richard | Is GNU Texinfo the same as the command "info" ? | 01:10 |
| cbrr | anyone...? | 01:10 |
| webtoe | Tu13es: Why should it? if your machien is sleeping or hibernating its waiting for user input. Its up to the bioes to tell it to wake up, and typically that is done from shut down, not hibernate of sleep. | 01:10 |
| daedra | I have this external usb NTFS drive that mounts in /media - how do I make it mount writeable in /mnt ? | 01:10 |
| webtoe | tu13es: that's my understanding anyway | 01:10 |
| Draggin | cbrr - sorry I have no idea, I'm running nVidia | 01:11 |
| Splat | I'm having a problem, every time I boot my computer it comes up with the ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, if I reinstall the nvidia driver and restart x it's fine.. until I reboot again.. any ideas what I've managed to do wrong? | 01:11 |
| lewench | Anyone know why when I click on WINE to start it won't open? I installed ventrilo which was working before, but now when I start it up it just says its opening but won't open and the tab closes | 01:11 |
| nemik | hi. does anyone else's laptop with gutsy get an "inu" message when resuming that freezes the laptop? | 01:11 |
| binvij | Hello , i have an issue with playing mp4 format. The issue is that it shows the movie but does not play the audio.. can anyone suggest me the required codec | 01:11 |
| webtoe | tick : you need to check dmesg, see if your phone is recognised as a phone device | 01:11 |
| pschorf | hello, all | 01:12 |
| coach_z | i am having a hard time ejecting/unmounting my external drive....ubuntu keeps telling me that the drive can not be ejected, also that it 'still has information to write to the drive' but im not running anything from that drive....can anyone help me with this please? | 01:12 |
| richard | binvij : What media player are you using? | 01:12 |
| cbrr | Draggin: ok thanks i'm searching 4 solution in google anyway | 01:12 |
| webtoe | Draggin: you need to look in dmesg for somethign relating to sda | 01:12 |
| nerdparty | It says there's no manual entry when I try "man unrar" | 01:12 |
| binvij | vlc media player | 01:12 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, humm at the beginning I just followed this tutorial: http://www.nabble.com/3-Mobile-USB-modem-td16208164.html | 01:12 |
| Draggin | webtoe - okay... About that - what exactly does 'sda' mean? I see my hard drives are also detected as sda and not the (apparently) standard hda | 01:13 |
| richard | binvij : Try opening it in Totem Player. There should be a option to view the Video's properties. Try looking in there. | 01:13 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, the section that says: OK - PRETTY MUCH DISREGARD MOST | 01:13 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; did you install unrar or just look at it from synaptic .. try sudo apt-get install unrar | 01:13 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, I found it | 01:13 |
| webtoe | Draggin: yeah don't worry. The kernel decided to call IDE drives hd something | 01:13 |
| nemik | hi. does anyone else's laptop with gutsy get an "inu" message when resuming that freezes the laptop? | 01:13 |
| goldbond | i am trying to compile sqlite and i am getting this error: http://dpaste.com/43845/ | 01:13 |
| Joelito | Does anyone know a good tool to create crosswords? | 01:14 |
| goldbond | i missing some build packages or something? | 01:14 |
| webtoe | Draggin: and devices that are vaguely like SCSI devices sd somthing | 01:14 |
| Draggin | webtoe, ah, okay, so its because I have SATA drives then I guess? | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | Draggin, sda is drive #1, sdb is drive 2, sdc is drive 3.. sda1 is first partition, sda2 is partition 2 etc. | 01:14 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, have you tried restarting the X Server? Try to disconnect the usb modem first | 01:14 |
| webtoe | Draggin: because of the way usb flash disks were developed, they are classed under the SCSI naming scheme | 01:14 |
| binvij | when i double click on mp4 it opens up in totem. in the properties section the audio area is greyed out | 01:14 |
| genii | Draggin: sdX devices used to be for SCSI device names. Ubuntu has shifted from hdX to sdX perhaps 2 releases ago now | 01:14 |
| tick | i dont believe it is | 01:14 |
| Draggin | webtoe, thanks, let me have a look if I can make sense of dmesg again... | 01:14 |
| Mifuyne | hmmm | 01:14 |
| binvij | am i missing a codec.. .everything else plays fine | 01:14 |
| tick | the output didnt list it | 01:15 |
| webtoe | Draggin: as I think someone suggested try dmesg | grep sd | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | binvij, try it with gxine.. solved some of my issues.. or vlc.. | 01:15 |
| richard | binvij : Did you install the Ubuntu Restricted Package? | 01:15 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, try sudo insmod usb_storage | 01:15 |
| webtoe | that should cull the crap you get when you type dmesg | 01:15 |
| Draggin | webtoe - thanks, I'll try that | 01:15 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, ok, I'll do it, just wait me, because I'm using the usb modem to be connected to Internet | 01:15 |
| tick | not by name anyway | 01:15 |
| Mifuyne | okay | 01:15 |
| Mifuyne | but try the usb_storage one first | 01:15 |
| max_ | webtoe: know of any way on getting details of my running modules? at the least just a list of the running ones? | 01:15 |
| binvij | yes i did install ubuntu restricted packages .. and the other media formats are working fine | 01:16 |
| Mifuyne | although you should be doing this after you plugged your flash drive | 01:16 |
| booby | hi | 01:16 |
| georgeguitar | ok | 01:16 |
| webtoe | max_: for x? look in /var/log/Xorg.0.org | 01:16 |
| === JohnM_ is now known as JohnMM | ||

| phs5555 | i need help changing the screen resolutino. going through system prefrences and screen resolution has no effect | 01:17 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; did you try the apt-get command i gave you? | 01:17 |
| bastid_raZor | phs5555; how about system>administration>screens and graphics? | 01:18 |
| tick | ok still no metion of my phone | 01:18 |
| nerdparty | It says "Unable to lock the administrative directory, is another process using it?" | 01:18 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; close synaptic. | 01:19 |

| piqoni | HELLO, I INSTALLED OSS AND SKYPE DOES NOT WORK NOW, THERE WAS A COMMAND FOR FIXING THIS, ANYONE REMEMBER? | 01:19 |
| _linuxftw | Hey, how would I go about installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu? (X won't start) | 01:19 |
| nerdparty | bastid_raZor: Okay, i did that and did the apt-get and installed it, now how do I use it? | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | Chris|, on my laptop the touchpad is /dev/input/psaux or /dev/psaux | 01:19 |
| Mifuyne | piqoni, can't you just uninstall OSS? | 01:19 |
| Cle0 | i want a command to know my LAN ip and my internet ip | 01:20 |
| Mifuyne | piqoni, why not use Alsa? | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | I think thers a ubuntu skype wiki page. | 01:20 |
| Chris| | that might help Dr_willis | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | !skype | 01:20 |
| ubotu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 01:20 |
| Cle0 | !ip | 01:20 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:20 |
| piqoni | <Mifuyne> because my headphones do not work with alsa | 01:20 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; in that terminal try man unrar ... that is going to give you a list of syntax's for you to use with the unrar command in a terminal | 01:20 |
| jpw27_ | Every time I turn my computer on, it goes into low graphics mode and I have to reinstall my nVidia drivers every time. any way out? | 01:20 |
| Mifuyne | O.o | 01:20 |
| Mifuyne | are they usb? | 01:20 |
| richard | binvij : Did you check if you muted your speakers? other than that, i am still looking for a codec viewer or something :| | 01:20 |
| Cle0 | i want a command to know my LAN ip and my internet ip | 01:20 |
| richard | binvij : haha | 01:21 |
| piqoni | <Mifuyne> by the way, even with oss they dont work, I mean they DO WORK, but with low volume, and the speakers of laptop dont mute when I plug the headphonse | 01:21 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; since it is installed if you are in the GUI and double click .rar file it will automatically use unrar. | 01:21 |
| webtoe | tick: sorry, that was my fault. Was following several conversations. What are you trying to do then? Connect via bluetooth? | 01:21 |
| piqoni | <Mifuyne> for this, ubuntu is horrible | 01:21 |
| Mifuyne | Are these headphones connected via USB? | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | Cle0, 'ifconfig' for the local ip# | 01:21 |
| richard | binvij : you could try playing it in different players. Did you try Mplayer? | 01:21 |
| Cle0 | i know this | 01:21 |
| tick | no just usb cable | 01:21 |
| piqoni | <Mifuyne> no (please right my name so I can see the highlight | 01:21 |
| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; do you have any .rar files to test CLI or the GUI methods? | 01:21 |
| tick | just dont know that much about it | 01:22 |
| binvij | richard: in order to check the settings i inserted a dvd and it played with sound .. | 01:22 |
| webtoe | tick: and what phone? sorry, just to warn you, its nearly 1:30am here and so I need to bugger off soon. | 01:22 |
| tick | samsung a707 | 01:22 |
| Mifuyne | piqoni, when you said Skype doesn't work, you mean there's no sound? | 01:22 |
| nerdparty | bastid_raZor: The GUI method is working, I don't understand the CLI one though. | 01:22 |
| binvij | richard: this video is downloaded from google in mp4 format | 01:22 |
| webtoe | tick: it depends on the phone. My nokia e65 doesn't show up using the usb cable but on bluetooth its fin | 01:23 |
| webtoe | e | 01:23 |
| richard | binvij : Google Video? | 01:23 |
| piqoni | <Mifuyne> it opens and When I log in it closes, I mean this is a common problem for those that installed OSS | 01:23 |
| Mifuyne | Interesting... | 01:23 |

| Mifuyne | and I can't switch my sound drivers to OSS | 01:24 |

| Scunizi | tick, I have the same phone and haven't found anything yet.. | 01:24 |

| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; in synaptic when you click a package to install be sure to apply them.. it will then install what packages you want. | 01:24 |
| Scunizi | tick, sorry.. I have the 737.. but pretty much the same thing | 01:24 |

| bastid_raZor | nerdparty; glad i could help :) | 01:25 |
| webtoe | night | 01:25 |
| tick | thx for your help | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | rectec794613, if you formated it while linux had it mounted.. you may have confused the OS. You might need to reboot. Other then that. No idea | 01:25 |
| tick | :D | 01:25 |
| zero88 | Ubuntu! | 01:25 |

| Dr_willis | rectec794613, messing with the ipod shouldent of affected the cdrom at all.. good luck then. | 01:25 |
| Mr_Bad_News | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424503 | 01:25 |
| Mr_Bad_News | im having the exact same problems | 01:25 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does anyone know how to fix it? | 01:26 |
| icesword | hiiiiiiii | 01:26 |
| rectec794613 | well idk it just wont detect either of them | 01:26 |
| piqoni | Mifuyne, do you know anything about OpenSUSE, regarding the sound problems, maybe if I install that OS, Ill by fine?????? | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | rectec794613, you may have some other deeper problem. I would check out the 'dmesg' command output. as you plug in the device. | 01:26 |
| binvij | Scunizi: _http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6891978643577501895 | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | zero88, use the bang first like !pastbin | 01:26 |
| zero88 | Dr_willis, what if messed around with the fstab? | 01:26 |
| bastid_raZor | jpw27_; are you using the restricted drivers manager? how are you installing the drivers? from the repo's ? | 01:26 |
| Mifuyne | piqoni, I can't say I know anything about it =/ | 01:26 |
| zero88 | Scunizi, ah thank you =) | 01:26 |
| piqoni | Mifuyne, ok | 01:26 |
| pharoh | hey how can one see what version of linux one has?like whether its x86_64 or just x86? | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | zero88, if he messed with the fstab - then he can try to mount them manually. that would be the next thing i would suttest rectec794613 tries. Manual Mounting. | 01:26 |
| Mifuyne | piqoni, if there are articles and posts saying that it should fix the problem, it wouldn't hurt to try, right? :) | 01:26 |
| jpw27_ | bastid_raZor, just installing them by hand. restriced drivers tells my i don't need any | 01:26 |
| loucious | greatings ubuntu lusers | 01:26 |

| bastid_raZor | jpw27_; with 7.04 i had the same issues.. for some reason though when upgraded to 7.10 the restricted manager worked and all was well.. what video card do you have? and which drivers are you using? | 01:28 |
| bastid_raZor | BSG75; i use Ktorrent.. but transmission is excellent and so is deluge. | 01:29 |

| clutsy-ribbon | anyone tryed puppy linux b4 | 01:29 |
| BSG75 | Dr_willis: what do you mean? | 01:29 |
| kindofabuzz | deluge suxs at creating torrents, and it not supported by most trackers | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | BSG75, they can all do the basic torrent downloads.. its the other features that people want that make them differ. | 01:30 |
| WindowSmasher | Hi all!!! I just installed samba. How do I get it to start? | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | BSG75, ktorrent has a web interface. which is nice.. it all depends on what features you want. | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | !samba | WindowSmasher | 01:30 |

| BSG75 | Mr_Bad_news: I am running the same nic on my wife's laptop | 01:32 |
| piqoni | style23, its very difficult | 01:32 |
| Mifuyne | did you plug the flash drive in before you used that command? | 01:32 |
| BSG75 | I used ndiswrapper .. if memory serves me | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | binvij, I'm at 50% and counting. | 01:32 |
| Mifuyne | or insmod | 01:32 |
| piqoni | style23, believe me | 01:33 |
| Flannel | style23: That depends on what the tgz contains. All a tar.gz is is a collection of files. | 01:33 |
| zero88 | Mr_Bad_News, so you upgraded to Feisty and are still having problems? | 01:33 |
| Mifuyne | oops... | 01:33 |

| BSG75 | is that the same for u? | 01:35 |
| zero88 | Mr_Bad_News, Ok. well the only thing I can suggest is maybe upgrading, you upgrade some wireless driver's as well. That might change a few things. | 01:35 |
| style23 | tonyyarusso how many torrent clients are in the repositories? | 01:35 |
| Chris| | woot, got my mouse fixed for cli mode :D | 01:35 |

| SlalomMan | Alright. I'm trying to install GTK2.0+, but I need to downgrade libpango to do so. But when libpango tries to downgrade, it wants me to remove ubuntu-desktop, compiz, and many other packages. | 01:36 |
| style23 | soundray ok I'll take a look | 01:36 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, do you know if Ubuntu recognizes the drive at all? | 01:36 |
| soundray | style23: you can install it with a one-liner, 'sudo apt-get install bittornado'. No need to fiddle with .tar.gz files | 01:36 |
| zero88 | Mr_Bad_News, Sorry, I meant through upgrading, the upgrade updated some wireless drivers. | 01:36 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, yes I always use my flash memory in ubuntu, and it never gave any problem | 01:36 |

| style23 | soundray ok | 01:36 |
| tonyyarusso | style23: I count at least a dozen offhand, probably more, not to mention lots of libraries for building others. | 01:36 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, what I mean is, maybe you did something else and now Ubuntu won't interface with the device at all. | 01:36 |
| BSG75 | mr_bad_news: try zero's way .. if that fails .. try with an older version of ndiswrapper | 01:36 |

| Chronix | hey i just downloaded the iso and mounted it to a drive but now can seem to get it running. | 01:37 |

| zero88 | Jester009, well I have built in card, but is considered a usb card.I have to use windows drivers and use Ndiswrapper. I have the same problem for you and couldnt connect. I checked out the Ndiswrapper website and it told me thats all that I would be able to do and not connect. So thats why i was asking if you use windows drivers? | 01:41 |

| Jester009 | monobi: what is apt-get? | 01:45 |
| thin | but I have no idea how to get on the wireless network. | 01:45 |
| Scunizi | Jester009, or if you have a gui... System/Admin/Synaptic Package Manager.. | 01:45 |
| zero88 | Jester009, sorry. Apt-get is a package manager.You use it as a command such as sudo apt-get install "ndiswrapper" in a terminal.It will automatically download and install it for you. | 01:45 |
| zero88 | !apt-get | 01:45 |
| ubotu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 01:45 |

| zero88 | thin possibly or maybe it wasnt started. | 01:55 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, honestly, I'm stumped...I can't see why modprobe or insmod isn't working for you =/ | 01:55 |
| noys_ | so ethernet to xbox ; wireless to internet so then ; Ethernet to wireless = both get internet access. | 01:55 |
| zero88 | thin did you say you could see wireless networks? | 01:56 |
| Frogger62 | BarryToeman: After rebooting (using the LiveCD) will the resticted drivers still work? | 01:56 |

| thin | yes i'm on a pc and mac right now wirelessly | 01:56 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, How can I know that the module is loaded? | 01:56 |
| Mifuyne | remember when I told you to use lsmod > lsmod.txt | 01:56 |
| Mifuyne | lsmod lists the loaded mod | 01:56 |
| lewench | max_, Any suggestions? | 01:56 |
| Mifuyne | > lsmod.txt tells it to send the output into that file | 01:56 |
| max_ | thierry set the LANG setting in bash to en_US.UTF-8 or just en might work | 01:56 |
| Mifuyne | so, I suggest you open that file and search for usb_storage | 01:57 |
| max_ | lewench just a sec | 01:57 |
| Frogger62 | Will the restricted drivers still be in use if I reboot using the LiveCD? | 01:57 |
| Mifuyne | it isn't just missing on its own, it's missing from the usbcore module | 01:57 |
| lewench | max_, K | 01:57 |
| zero88 | Jester009, Not sure. If I remember correctly you might need to get the files from the .exe .You need two files only. I think it was a .inf and something else.Let me see. | 01:57 |
| BarryToeman | Frogger62: no. | 01:57 |
| georgeguitar | ok, I'll see | 01:57 |
| Mifuyne | and why usb-storage or usb_storage is deemed as missing is kinda strange | 01:58 |
| Frogger62 | Dang. How do I do it then? I don't have an extra HD I can use here. | 01:58 |
| pleasedontspamme | I got this error when i loaded clamtk with sudo | 01:58 |

| evan2 | is there a package that has the bsd userland (i.e. the bsd equivalent of gnu coreutils)? | 01:58 |
| BarryToeman | Frogger62: if you install ubuntu onto the hard drive, then changes will be persistent | 01:58 |
| evan2 | actually what i really want is bsd sed | 01:58 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, the file doesn't have usb_storage, how can I reinstall the usbcore? | 01:59 |

| CrackGuy | genii, oh, i think i have the live cd. i downloaded it ubuntu image online and burnt it, is that livecd? | 02:14 |
| Christophe_ | i have just one or two questions ? | 02:15 |
| icesword | yea | 02:15 |
| genii | CrackGuy: If it boots to a graphical desktop, that is the regular livecd, yes. | 02:15 |
| AngryBacon | Christophe_, don,t ask to ask | 02:15 |
| che_ | rectec794613: yeah but i'm confusing. | 02:15 |
| BarryToeman | Christophe_: that was one...you have one left. | 02:15 |
| BarryToeman | just kidding | 02:15 |
| brainiac8008 | barrytoeman, i found the answer. check it out: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management#The_mysterious_880_MB_limit_on_x86 | 02:15 |

| derspankster | anyone using FreeNas as a file server with Ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| Christophe_ | im on powerpc and i want to know if a linux application can be installed on any architecture or not : for example in fedora | 02:17 |
| brainiac8008 | barrytoeman, me neither. idk but that must be my problem. do you know how i can change it? the article says make menuconfig but it doesnt work | 02:17 |
| Mifuyne | okay, georgeguitar, I actually got that from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52197 | 02:17 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, the last post suggest you search up linux-image-* and reinstall it | 02:17 |
| Gilou | !tab | brainiac8008 | 02:17 |
| ubotu | brainiac8008: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:17 |
| ropoy | how to upgrade when it says "could not download release notes" | 02:17 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, yes it says: usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb-storage | 02:17 |
| georgeguitar | at the end | 02:18 |
| pleasedontspamme | my computer has an old nvidea tnt2 video card, why can' i set the resolution higher than 800x600? i have the legasy driver installed, and before i did it would go larger than that | 02:18 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, O.o weird... | 02:18 |
| AngryBacon | Christophe_, usually, but you may need to compile yourself | 02:18 |
| Starnestommy | Christophe_: most binaries compiled on one architecture won't work on another | 02:18 |
| Mifuyne | well, like I said, try to reinstall linux-image and you'll probably have to restart | 02:18 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, may be is because I've created a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d | 02:18 |
| Christophe_ | is it hard to copile or its just take the package and make "yum" ... ? | 02:18 |
| Mifuyne | bleh, I probably should've read that page more thoroughly | 02:19 |
| BarryToeman | brainiac8008: i'm not sure. sorry about that. | 02:19 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, if you did, remove it | 02:19 |
| Starnestommy | Christophe_: the package manager should automatically get the rioght binaries for your architecture | 02:19 |
| brainiac8008 | BarryToeman: k. thanks anyway | 02:19 |
| AngryBacon | Christophe_, this isn,t fedora support | 02:19 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, I'd be surprised if that doesn't fix it | 02:19 |
| phs5555 | i have found drivers for a touch screen for mandrake or redhat would they work for ubuantu? | 02:19 |
| Starnestommy | *right | 02:19 |
| Enul | anyone know a good distribution for a linux newb other then ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, ok, I'll do it, just wait me, I'll remove it and restart all over again | 02:20 |
| BarryToeman | brainiac8008: at least try some other ram or a memtest if you have any before messing around with the kernel. | 02:20 |
| Mifuyne | alrighty, I'll be here | 02:20 |
| AngryBacon | phs5555, get the redhat one and use alien to make it a .deb | 02:20 |
| Christophe_ | yes but if a aplication is not on the package manager ... how to know if the application will work ? | 02:20 |
| Boohbah | Christophe_: and why don't you get a distribution that has ppc packages? | 02:20 |

| jrib | ropoy: what are you upgrading to? | 02:22 |
| genii | CrackGuy: If you have another ubuntu box and some removable thing like usb stick, you can d/l only any install files by mounting the media somewhere like /mnt/tmp. Then: echo 'dir::cache::archives "/mnt/tmp"' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf then issue: sudo apt-get install --download-only samba then sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf , unmount the media, put it in machine without internet and copy the files to | 02:22 |
| genii | /var/cache/apt/archives where you should be able to install them | 02:22 |
| Enul | i'm trying to find out if ubuntu can use a usb modem | 02:22 |

| Odd-rationale | caveymason: yes. sudo apt-get install gparted | 02:41 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, probably easier and less problematic that way :) | 02:41 |

| CrackGuy | how can I install Samba without connecting to Internet? I am using Ubuntu 7.10 | 02:45 |
| bazhang | brainiac8008: nay | 02:45 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, personally, I found Ubuntu gives me a lot less trouble...I even managed to revive a dying laptop with Ubuntu (bad HDD) :) | 02:46 |
| arvind_khadri | brainiac8008, ohh,no idea... | 02:46 |
| linuxmonger | It should be on the Ubuntu 7.10 CD. | 02:46 |
| Odd-rationale | spl0it: just a pointer, stay away from broadcom. although I have gotten both of my broadcom to work, I've heard not so good results from others... | 02:46 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: linuxmonger thinks it would be on the cd, and i agree | 02:46 |
| CrackGuy | Ademan linkinxp I am totally a newbie, just got my hands on linux from windows, could you please assist me stepwise | 02:47 |
| brainiac8008 | bazhang, i just started up the livecd and it recognized only 900mb. then i rebooted (still using the livecd) and it recognized all of my ram. ?? it does say on the web that there is a restriction of 900mb btw, so i dont get it | 02:47 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, hi..good morning | 02:47 |
| linkinxp | CrackGuy, i got it 1 week ago :D | 02:47 |
| bazhang | hi arvind_khadri ;] | 02:47 |
| linkinxp | CrackGuy, what do you need? | 02:47 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, yes, at the end you always find a way to make work everything, even my cell phone works in Ubuntu, but I didn't try to make it works as a modem, but soon I will do it | 02:47 |
| arvind_khadri | brainiac8008, the live cd is cranky sometimes :) | 02:47 |
| bazhang | brainiac8008: what is the link that says that | 02:47 |
| jrib | ropoy: k, run 'gksudo update-manager -c' in a shell and pastebin the output (get to the error about releasenotes) | 02:48 |

| linkinxp | where i check how much ram its ubuntu detecting? | 02:48 |
| CrackGuy | i've inserted the cd | 02:48 |
| spl0it | odd-rationale: thanks found a $19.99 dlink thats fully supported, just checking another couple cards and then I'll pick | 02:48 |
| linkinxp | CrackGuy, from cd? why? | 02:48 |
| georgeguitar | Mifuyne, thanks again and good night | 02:48 |
| arvind_khadri | linkinxp, use fdisk -l | 02:48 |
| CrackGuy | linkinxp because i dont have internet connection on the other machine | 02:49 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: insert the CD, go to system->administraction->synaptic package manager, enter your password, and then scroll down in the list until you find samba (you can use the search function) and then click on it and choose install, then hit apply | 02:49 |
| Mifuyne | georgeguitar, no problem, it was fun xD take care | 02:49 |

| arvind_khadri | linuxmonger, installation from it once took me 20 mins for a same system whereas once it took 40 mins or so :) | 02:52 |
| Phoenix5 | does it matter if I have the drive set to master, slave, or cable selecT? | 02:52 |
| SeaPhor | Phoenix2: sorry 'bout that, i'm a n00b here and its been a while since i've had to use that | 02:52 |

| brainiac8008 | hey if i were to partition my drive and install ubuntu (i currently have vista), can gparted resize the vista partition or must i go into vista and resize it there? | 02:53 |
| bazhang | Phoenix5: what errors are you getting? | 02:53 |
| genii | Phoenix5: for IDE drives, ideally drive on end of cable->master drive in middle of cable->slave | 02:53 |
| CrackGuy | Ademan, is there anyway i can download samba and copy it in a usb stick and then install on ubuntu machine? | 02:53 |
| bazhang | brainiac8008: the ubuntu install disk will resize it for you | 02:53 |
| Ademan | Phoenix5: it shouldn't matter to ubuntu really, but there is a specific setup that will work for your hardware | 02:53 |
| Odd-rationale | brainiac8008: the ubuntu installer can resize your windows partition | 02:53 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: sorta, one sec | 02:54 |
| Phoenix5 | when I boot up the drive that has ubuntu... it goes directly to a grub command line and it says it has "minimal" commands | 02:54 |

| Christina18 | Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62584/ | 02:56 |
| Pici | !firewall | Mko | 02:56 |
| ubotu | Mko: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 02:56 |
| ryan-c | iptables -P OUTPUT DROP && iptables -P INPUT DROP is the best firewall | 02:56 |
| ropoy | okies, jrib it opened the update manager and it say the system is fully up to date | 02:56 |
| SeaPhor | hey all what the command to start/stop/restart GDM? | 02:56 |
| tonyyarusso | SeaPhor: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart | 02:56 |
| arvind_khadri | Mko, linux/unix OS come with default firewall's known as iptables...use man iptables | 02:56 |
| tonyyarusso | SeaPhor: (or of course stop or start) | 02:56 |
| Mko | ip | 02:57 |
| brainiac8008 | bazhang, Odd-rationale, see http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm - this made me think i must resize in vista. i guess i trust gparted more than vista's program for partitions anyway lol | 02:57 |
| genii | SeaPhor: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start/stop/restart as well | 02:57 |
| jrib | ropoy: no offer to upgrade? | 02:57 |
| Mko | as in the amount | 02:57 |
| linuxmonger | arvind_khadri: My best time was 11 minutes to restore from a backup image and I thought that was way to long. I get the question on time variation though - maybe a different configuration of the drives or a different vendor of CDs, it does make a difference. I had an old HP cdwriter - 8x I think - it would work fine being secondary to a Western Digital drive, but wouldn't write if it was secondary to a Maxtor. Weird. | 02:57 |
| Mko | ? | 02:57 |
| SeaPhor | TY :-)) | 02:57 |
| Pici | Mko: amount? | 02:57 |
| Mko | of ip tables | 02:57 |
| SeaPhor | Phoenix2: did you catch those? | 02:58 |
| ropoy | jrib there is no offer upgrade, | 02:58 |
| owen1 | how can i make a folder on my ubuntu available to other ubuntu on the wireless home network? | 02:58 |
| arvind_khadri | linuxmonger, :) my time variations were on the same specs,no changes in hardware :) | 02:58 |
| Pici | Mko: iptables is a command, not a thing. | 02:58 |
| jrib | ropoy: how did you get one before? | 02:58 |
| Odd-rationale | brainiac8008: if with vista, you can only decrease the sixe to a certain amount at a time. 25% i *think* | 02:58 |

| bazhang | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg stephan | 03:06 |
| PwrSurge | there are a few fixes you can do under about:config | 03:06 |

| Ademan | CrackGuy: as long as you understand that it's normally not this bad :-) | 03:07 |
| jrib | ropoy: use pastebin... | 03:07 |
| bazhang | kravlin: that version will reach end of life soon (if it hasnot already--best to get a more recent version) | 03:07 |
| kravlin | bazhang: i figured i would update off of the internet. | 03:07 |

| fail | Hey there, im trying to partition my SATA-2 HD with the ubuntu live cd using gparted, windows xp is currently installed on the HD, however gparted has been sitting at "scanning devices" for the last hour, ive never been able to get gparted to work, why is this? | 03:08 |
| bazhang | kravlin: the huge number of updates would be far larger than just downloading a new cd | 03:08 |
| b4l74z4r | does xchat use its own font rendering system apart from the rest of gnome? | 03:08 |
| fail | do i need to mount the HD first to use gparted? | 03:08 |
| pokerfacepenguin | fail: i would use the actual gparted live cd....give that a try | 03:09 |
| ropoy | jrib: here it is 'http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62586/' | 03:09 |
| kravlin | bazhang: Currently out of cds anyway. from what i'm reading though the problem doesn't go away. | 03:09 |

| soulreaper | i have ubuntu is there any good mp3 players for ubuntu i can download?? | 03:09 |
| arvind_khadri | soulreaper, they come default | 03:09 |
| bazhang | kravlin: a bios bug? that is in your system? | 03:09 |
| jrib | ropoy: that can't be the full thing because it does not include what you first told me about "possible causes" | 03:09 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/samba you'd go here, download the package from the link 'i386' from the bottom, then download all of the other packages in the same way that are marked with red circles. (and each of those packages will have their own packages with red circles, and you keep going until you reach packages without red circles) it WILL work, but it's absolutely horrid, when ubuntu is connected to the inte | 03:09 |
| Ademan | rnet it has a program that can handle all of this for you automatically | 03:09 |
| kravlin | bazhang: the thing's never been booted... | 03:10 |
| kravlin | bazhang: it's possible it's just incompatable. | 03:10 |

| CrackGuy | Ademan i will wait for an internet connection :) but i appreciate your time and effort | 03:11 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: then you'd load them all up onto a usb disk, bring it over to your ubuntu machine, take a terminal, navigate to where all of the *.deb (package) files are, and type sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 03:11 |
| bazhang | backgen: that is unsupported and illegal | 03:11 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: yeah, lol, it's really bad | 03:11 |
| Ademan | CrackGuy: you made the right choice lol | 03:11 |
| backgen | bazhang: lol | 03:11 |

| arvind_khadri | hikejinx, he says that the file's arent being red in | 03:17 |
| arvind_khadri | urthmover, hi | 03:17 |
| soulreaper | thats what im haveing troubles with i cant see the mp3 files | 03:17 |
| urthmover | :-) | 03:17 |
| soulreaper | so i cant get the updates and whats nots | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | htmljunkie: if you ever read the ubuntu c.o.c. you would know that doing what you ask is against the c.o.c. wich any good ubuntu user would have read and signed | 03:17 |
| Creationist | hmm... maybe htmljunkie should just grow up, get some sun, and read a book? | 03:18 |
| soulreaper | i did it a while ago before i reformated my comp and now i cant read the file any more | 03:18 |
| bazhang | maybe he should be kicked | 03:18 |
| hikejinx | soulreaper, which player do you have? | 03:18 |
| Alley^Away | arvind_khadri: am I talking black or being ignored or something? | 03:18 |
| IdleOne | bazhang: good idea | 03:18 |
| sgrover | Creationist: that's what I was thinkng | 03:18 |

| jrib | ropoy: it's very easy to be precise with errors, you just copy them in full and paste them on the pastebin. Paraphrasing what happens just creates confusion. I have to go now, but here is what you can try: 1) Consider whether you have a strange internet setup that prevents update-manager from fetching meta-release and address this. 2) Try to fetch meta-relaes from | 03:18 |
| jrib | http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release yourself and save it as /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release | 03:18 |
| arvind_khadri | Alley^Away, not at all,sorry if i made u feel so | 03:18 |
| Creationist | htmljunkie: Go create #linuxbros and you can make your own rules, okay? Okay. | 03:19 |

| Buhmanator | i have a cryptic error message from konqueror. my problem is that konqeror refuses to browse the file system. It wont open ANYTHING. no folders, pages, nothing. here is the error message it gives me when I type "/" into the location bar: | 03:31 |
| Buhmanator | "this appears to be a configuration error. you have associated Konqueror with inode/directory, but it cannot handle this file type" | 03:31 |
| Buhmanator | Now, last time I checked, the WHOLE point of konqueror was to browse the file system. How can it not support "inode/directory"? | 03:31 |
| Buhmanator | Major problem, when I go to the said dialog in the emedding tab of the file associations tab of the configure-konqueror dialog, | 03:31 |
| FloodBot1 | Buhmanator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:31 |
| arvind_khadri | Scunizi, its better not to suggest it,as sometimes it may do a serious damage to hardware | 03:31 |
| hikejinx | soulreaper: we need to change to the directory for SANSA 350 | 03:31 |
| Buhmanator | when I click on the "add" button on the services preference order subsection to add " Icon View (konq_iconview)" to the top of the list, there are no items in the list to add! | 03:31 |
| soulreaper | it just beeps at me | 03:31 |
| hikejinx | ok | 03:31 |
| sgrover | owen1: nfs doesn't care bout wireless - as long as you can reach the remote box by IP it can be used. | 03:31 |
| kravlin | arvind_khadri: now i get PCI: Cannot Allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0 | 03:31 |
| Toadinator | yes, but I get nothing | 03:31 |
| arvind_khadri | kravlin, Ahh i too keep getting tat :) never bothered | 03:31 |
| kravlin | arvind_khadri: then it goes into the loading screen and stalls out. | 03:31 |
| hikejinx | ok, type gedit /media/SANSA\ 350 | 03:31 |
| ltcabral | i want port 5432 to be open, but when i check in nmap only other 3 ports are open.. how can i open 5432 (tcp) | 03:31 |

| ltcabral | well i started my server application that i made... it should be working :P | 03:33 |
| Toadinator | should I post an example of the weird effect? | 03:33 |

| Stroganoff | Toadinator have you tried different resolutions? by the way: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-lexmark.5.html | 03:34 |
| Scunizi | caminomaster, tab is your friend for completing nicks..:) netscape had an editor based on nvu as well.. deleting a letter bombs it? that's weird.. unless your keyboard file is strange somehow.. sorry can't help there. | 03:34 |

| arvind_khadri | kravlin, i didnt get u,wats the size of ur ram and swap?? | 03:34 |
| bazhang | timo1teo: you will be able to see if the resolution is what your card and monitor support hopefully; otherwise there is a simple command that will let you check or you can use the gui to do so | 03:34 |
| hikejinx | soulreaper: then save it. | 03:34 |

| sgrover | Electric sheep? How to install in Ubuntu for novice user? | 03:37 |
| bazhang | kravlin: sure go ahead | 03:37 |
| Starnestommy | ltcabral: it might be a server bug | 03:37 |
| Scunizi | slashzul, ah.. the cisco uses the db9 i take it.. older? I'm not sure if you'll have to install anything or not.. might just work. | 03:37 |
| soulreaper | ok i did sudo and typed in my password | 03:38 |
| soulreaper | and another blank window poped up | 03:38 |
| slashzul | Scunizi: my laptop has only a usb port | 03:38 |
| kravlin | bazhang: I finally got ubuntu to install. It gives me an error saying PCI: Cannot Allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0 and then goes to the loading screen but freezes there. | 03:38 |
| hikejinx | when the new window pops up, paste that info and save | 03:38 |
| ltcabral | Starnestommy, but worked perfectly in other place | 03:38 |
| ropoy | can anyone please take a look at this | 03:38 |

| soulreaper | what do you want me to do next?? | 03:39 |
| dts | shivamib: well actually gnome related | 03:39 |
| dts | X works fine | 03:39 |
| Scunizi | slashzul, here's a link for the adaptor.. but I still think it might just "work" without any intervention http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=123071&CatId=464 | 03:39 |
| Pelo | ropoy, download the alternate intstall cd and upgrade from that | 03:39 |
| shivamib | usually its in /var/log/Xorg.log or something | 03:39 |
| ropoy | Pelo: is there no other way/ | 03:40 |
| Pelo | ropoy, it will be quicker | 03:40 |
| hikejinx | soulreaper, we need to make a file. can you switch to the music players folder. | 03:40 |
| mophead_ | Hey everyone. I'm running what I think is the latest version, on Ubuntu (gutsy). I can't seem to figure out how to turn on the automatic spell-check (wiggly red line). Any ideas? | 03:40 |
| ropoy | ah okies | 03:40 |
| mophead_ | Sorry, I'm using openoffice | 03:40 |

| slashzul | Scunizi: doesnt work with Ubuntu 7.10 | 03:41 |
| Pelo | mophead_, in openoffice ? check in the options , or ask in #openoffice.org | 03:41 |
| hikejinx | the music players | 03:41 |
| slashzul | I picked one up and it gave me loads of problems on dmesg | 03:41 |
| slashzul | never loaded up. | 03:41 |
| hikejinx | we need to make a file that lets rhythmbox recognize the player | 03:41 |
| harriseldon | mophead_ there is a button on the toolbar with ABC, a check, and a squiggly line | 03:41 |
| slashzul | you need drivers for it | 03:41 |
| bazhang | kravlin is this 64 bit ubuntu cd? | 03:41 |
| mophead_ | Pelo: I've already checked the spelling tools and checked off "check spelling automatically" | 03:41 |
| soulreaper | rythembox is a music player on ubuntu | 03:41 |
| hikejinx | your mp3 player | 03:41 |
| mophead_ | harriseldon: I've unchecked and checked that button a few times, to no avail. | 03:41 |
| kravlin | bazhang: Shouldn't be. | 03:41 |
| Pelo | mophead_, let me check my settings | 03:42 |
| bazhang | kravlin: that is an unequivocal no? or not sure | 03:42 |
| soulreaper | ya i can go into my mp3 players folders | 03:42 |
| hikejinx | soulreaper: do it in the terminal. | 03:42 |
| shivamib | dts: what happens when you try to log normally | 03:42 |
| kravlin | bazhang: assume it's a no. | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | slashzul, check this out .. it might shed some light http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FUbuntu%2BLinux%2Farticles%2F61%2Fscie%2Bnti%2Bst%2BKeyspan%2BUSB%2BSerial%2Badapter%2Bsupport&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fscie.nti.st%2F2008%2F3%2F13%2Fkeyspan-usb-to-serial-adapter-support-in-ubuntu | 03:42 |

| slashzul | too long a link | 03:43 |
| slashzul | try again | 03:43 |
| harriseldon | mophead_ it works fine for me, check the dictionaries in Tools-Options Language Settings->Writing Aids | 03:43 |
| hikejinx | soulreaper, well click on the icon for you music player. what is the address location? | 03:43 |
| Pelo | mophead_, just click the abc tool in the toolbar ,the one iwth the checkmark and the squiggly line, when it is pressed the auto check is enabled | 03:43 |
| Toadinator | ...stroganoff? | 03:43 |
| hikejinx | mp3 player | 03:43 |
| Scunizi | slashzul, try this one. http://tinyurl.com/46wvf8 | 03:44 |
| bazhang | kravlin what video card, what cpu what motherboard and are you sure about the 64bit cd? if you say assume no, then I could give you advice that might compromise your system--best to be 100% sure on that last point | 03:44 |
| soulreaper | its just on the desk top | 03:44 |
| dryrot | why dont i have sound in skype ? | 03:44 |
| soulreaper | or the otherone is in my apps | 03:45 |
| yahya_ | why don't Debians like to support Debian based distros | 03:45 |
| Stroganoff | Toadinator? | 03:45 |
| mophead_ | Pelo: Yes, that's what I thought it should be too, but it doesn't seem to be working. | 03:45 |
| Scunizi | yahya_, because there are changes here... not much but could be significant. | 03:45 |
| Toadinator | I'm here. | 03:45 |
| bazhang | yahya_: this is ubuntu support channel; do you have a ubuntu support question? | 03:45 |
| mophead_ | harriseldon: "check spelling as you type" is checked | 03:45 |
| Pelo | mophead_, maybe you didn'T make any spelling mistake | 03:45 |
| IamReck | Is there a special Channel for dealing with bugs in the latest Beta release of Ubuntu Hardy Heron? | 03:46 |
| hikejinx | but open it into a window, then you can see it's location. | 03:46 |
| dryrot | ubuntu is pretty well supported! | 03:46 |

| kravlin | the cpu is a 2200+ AMD 64 Athalon. I've had the motherboard because it was meant to be on a project that never was started but i don't know what it is. it's made by jetway and is fairly | 03:46 |
| Scunizi | IamReck, launchpad for reporting bugs | 03:46 |
| hikejinx | the icon on the desktop is a link | 03:46 |
| IamReck | Thanks. | 03:46 |
| mophead_ | Pelo: I tried typing "lfkjldksfj ewrjewkl dsfopje" to test it, and it's not underlined | 03:46 |
| kravlin | old because it's a socket 754. | 03:46 |
| Pelo | mophead_, I'm out of ideas | 03:46 |
| Scunizi | kravlin, that's old?! I've got a socket 478 | 03:47 |
| bazhang | kravlin I asked four (4) questions; you answered two (2) only | 03:47 |
| kravlin | bazhang: but i started it again and it worked for some reason. it's the 6th or so time that i've been starting it. | 03:47 |
| Toadinator | stroganoff? | 03:47 |
| slashzul | thats it. Ill have to rebuild a driver for it. | 03:47 |
| Toadinator | you here? | 03:47 |
| slashzul | its ok, done it before. THANKS | 03:47 |
| b4l74z4r | what's that weird vertical line in xchat gnome that i can't seem to get rid of? | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | slashzul, I hope it works for you. | 03:47 |
| mophead_ | Pelo: Hm. My surname and some jargon words are underlined, but it doesn't recognize gibberish as a spelling error. ...odd. | 03:48 |
| shivamib | it's where you left the window | 03:48 |
| slashzul | ill post if I get it done, there isnt much out there on using ubuntu for a cisco console | 03:48 |
| shivamib | (assuming its the red one) | 03:48 |
| Toadinator | stroganoff are you alive? | 03:48 |
| b4l74z4r | no its black and vertical | 03:48 |
| Pelo | mophead_, it might be that it recognises them as possibly being some type of serial number and ignores them | 03:48 |
| kravlin | bazhang: fine. old compared to today's stuff thanks to moore's law. | 03:49 |
| mophead_ | Pelo: a-ha! | 03:49 |
| Pelo | Toadinator, try in private please | 03:49 |
| Pelo | mophead_, ??? | 03:49 |
| lewench | Hello, i'm getting this error with Xchat "Cannot find 'notify-send' to open balloon alerts. Please install libnotify" I checked my packages, and I do have this installed. Can anyone help me out with this? | 03:49 |
| bazhang | kravlin: not sure what that means; what video card and what cd (32 bit or 64 bit) | 03:49 |
| Stroganoff | Toadinator whats ur problem? | 03:49 |
| mophead_ | Pelo: your serial number theory makes sense | 03:49 |
| Stroganoff | Toadinator yes go to the mailing list | 03:49 |
| dts | shivamib: it starts gnome then screen goes black (presumably crashes) and it returns to the login screen | 03:49 |
| kravlin | bazhang: it's not the 64bit cd. | 03:49 |
| Pelo | mophead_, ah | 03:49 |
| Stroganoff | Toadinator send an example | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | lewench, I have the same issue.. not sure what causes it but it doesn't seem to effect anything. | 03:49 |
| shivamib | can you ctrl+alt+f1? | 03:50 |
| Stroganoff | geez | 03:50 |
| Toadinator | ok... one second | 03:50 |
| bazhang | kravlin: you need no further assistance then? | 03:50 |
| kravlin | bazhang: video card is a 128mb 6600 Geforce. | 03:50 |
| shivamib | usually this is a video card thing | 03:50 |
| kravlin | bazhang: not unless it hangs up again. | 03:50 |
| soulreaper | gaaa | 03:50 |
| mophead_ | Thanks for the help! | 03:50 |
| hikejinx | okay soulreaper, I haven't heard back from you. I need to head out. In this thread is a solution. It's roughly thesame as one that worked for me and another model sansa. Try to finish or get someone else here to help. Good luck. | 03:51 |
| Scunizi | kravlin, that's a pretty solid card.. have you checked xorg.conf under driver to see if it says nvidia? | 03:51 |
| harriseldon | lewench: try using the run dialog to create your own test of notify_send. You can use notify_send "Test Title" "Test Text" | 03:51 |
| kravlin | scunizi: it's not a video card issue. | 03:51 |
| lewench | Scunizi, yeah I know, just that pop up error is annoying. Was thinking about trying Kopete if its compatible gnome. Just don't know how good it is. | 03:51 |
| harriseldon | lewench: if that does not work, it may be path related. | 03:51 |
| FliesLikeABrick | if I told gnome to rotate my display under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution, what file is that option saved in? I changed it, nothing shows up right, and I need to manually revert the change | 03:51 |
| bazhang | kravlin: almost all of those errors are either with the motherboard or the 64bit cd; you say it is not the 64bit cd so not sure what else to recommend at this point--you may file a bug at launchpad if you feel it is warranted | 03:51 |
| yahya_ | yeah I have a problem | 03:52 |
| kravlin | bazhang: probably the motherboard then. the guy i got this cd from says it's not 64 bit. | 03:52 |
| hikejinx | You basically need to make a file in the mp3 players root foler named is_a_player or something, add some info to the file. | 03:52 |
| soulreaper | ok | 03:52 |
| Scunizi | harriseldon how do you get to the run dialogue.? | 03:52 |
| soulreaper | i reported back to you | 03:52 |
| soulreaper | but you no answer | 03:52 |
| harriseldon | Scunizi: I use Alt-F2 | 03:53 |
| bazhang | kravlin: the guy? might want to download the 32bit and see if that is the case and if you run into the same errors--I would trust ubuntuforums over the guy | 03:53 |
| yahya_ | after I installed the ubuntu.. I downloaded the adobe nonfree plugin but it didn't work .. Then I installed it manually and now when any flash site launched the browser quits | 03:53 |
| yahya_ | launches* | 03:53 |
| FliesLikeABrick | yahya_ did you install flashplugin-nonfree or something else? | 03:53 |

| Creationist | Scunizi: It lets you create a customized Windows install disc without all the crap you don't need/want. | 03:58 |
| Scunizi | Creationist, do you do that from the original install cd? | 03:59 |
| Creationist | Scunizi: I created it specifically for gaming so it doesn't have all that extra crap (services, drivers, etc) that MIcrosoft puts on every machine. It's much faster this way. | 03:59 |

| googlah | don't seem to find anything at all. Scunizi: right. but as in desktops it is at least a very similar problem, but this is a bit more urgent | 04:17 |
| Scunizi | ubuntu, you're asking for trouble if you do it that way.. if you have no other choice you'll have to reinstall grub.. | 04:17 |
| bazhang | ubuntu you can do it that way but then need to edit the grub menu | 04:17 |
| ubuntu | i don't mind editing the grub menu | 04:17 |

| Scunizi | ubuntu, it's not editing the grub menu per se.. it's that windows over writes grub with its boot manager.. so you have to reinstall grub.. not a huge issue.. just a live cd and about a minute once you have the right guide. | 04:19 |

| TheFearsomeFufu | ColdBeer: Youd' have to use WINE to run IE. | 04:31 |

| Scunizi | Jester009, ok.. that works.. old school :).. once you have the list.. you probably only have one maybe 2 other listing for xorg.. one may say "backup" at the end or a date.. take a guess as to which one then type.. sudo mv xorg.conf.<suffix> xorg.conf .. and hit enter.. nothing will happen.. now CTRL+ALT+Backspace to restart the gui.. should fix it. | 04:35 |

| Scunizi | Jester009, if it doesn't do the same thing again but choose the other file. | 04:36 |
| tuxus | QUEBALL: you'd have to go into the router. Find out what your gateway is. most likely something like 192.168.0.1 | 04:36 |

| dmsuperman | and i'm not sure exactly what the hd numbers stand for | 04:46 |
| dmsuperman | in setting up grub (sudo grub( | 04:46 |
| yrlnry_ | on my GG laptop, if I don't press a key or click the mouse for a while, the screen brightness is automatically set to maximum. I can't figure out how to disable that behavior. I want it to leave the screen brightness alone at all times unless I explicitly change it. | 04:46 |

| dmsuperman | i did find /boot/grub/stage1 | 04:46 |
| dabbill | damo23, thanks, going to give it a try | 04:46 |

| Scunizi | cchild, you can always boot the live cd and see if the wifi works. | 04:47 |
| dmsuperman | i'm about to | 04:47 |
| dmsuperman | i installed ubuntu but when i rebooted, it said ntldr not found | 04:48 |
| dmsuperman | i have a 75gb ntfs partition at the beginning of the drive | 04:48 |
| tuxus | scunizi: my sentiments | 04:48 |
| dmsuperman | where i'll put windows later | 04:48 |
| ColdBeer | ubuntu 8.0 rules | 04:48 |
| tuxus | dmsuperman: if you want dual boot, first install windows, THEN linux | 04:48 |

| ColdBeer | debian rules! | 04:48 |
| AliRezaTaleghani | /join #kernel-beginner-help | 04:48 |
| ColdBeer | :) | 04:48 |
| dmsuperman | can't, that requires me to go into recovery console and reinstall ntlder | 04:48 |
| dmsuperman | and for some reason the combination of my hardware causes recovery console to BSOD | 04:49 |
| tuxus | dmsuper: why? | 04:49 |
| dmsuperman | every time | 04:49 |
| AliRezaTaleghani | /join #ubuntu-kernel | 04:49 |

| dmsuperman | i've got 75gb free where windows will go | 04:49 |
| dmsuperman | primary ntfs | 04:49 |
| damo23 | it IS possible to install ubuntu first and then xp | 04:49 |
| dmsuperman | beginning of drive | 04:49 |
| tuxus | dmsuper: ok, but you have Win-whatever installed already? | 04:49 |
| dmsuperman | and i just installed ubuntu | 04:50 |
| cchild | I have been using suse on this note book since 10.0-10.3 and the wifi has always worked, but am sure the kernel update has something to do with it. but i downgraded but to the default and still can get it working. the suse channel is of no help, that s why i am seriously considering ubuntu | 04:50 |
| dmsuperman | that would be no | 04:50 |
| tuxus | dmsuper: is your system powerful enuf to do a VMware ? | 04:50 |

| dmsuperman | ubuntu for most things | 04:50 |
| dmsuperman | then if i need a windows only app, or games or such | 04:51 |
| dmsuperman | boot into windows | 04:51 |
| damo23 | dmsuperman: make sure you have a copy of ubuntu cd so you can install grub again after xp, then just install windows xp | 04:51 |

| Shadow420 | bruno no sorry but I can use a translator program | 05:03 |
| AliRezaTaleghani | bruno: no, sorry :) | 05:03 |
| Ademan | kindofabuzz: yeah, without gpg it would be that easy, i've done that a million times, i have public/private key encryption going on i need to contend with | 05:03 |
| b4l74z4r | i've forgotten the default font rendering setting in ubuntu, can anyone tell me which one it is? | 05:03 |
| dmsuperman | woot! | 05:03 |
| kindofabuzz | AliRezaTaleghani, i dunno, look for downloads | 05:03 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, what steps? | 05:03 |
| dmsuperman | man do i love how EVERY thing goes wrong when i install OSes | 05:04 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, add printer | 05:04 |
| AliRezaTaleghani | kindofabuzz: :) thx ;) | 05:04 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, system > admin > printers | 05:04 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, thanks I'll try it | 05:04 |
| dmsuperman | when i run "sudo grub" and i'm in grub installation | 05:04 |
| Shadow420 | bruno so send me the issue in a pm and I can help you | 05:04 |
| dmsuperman | then do find /boot/grub/stage1 | 05:04 |
| kindofabuzz | that should've been the first thing you tried | 05:04 |
| dmsuperman | how do i determine what hte result actually points to | 05:04 |
| dmsuperman | it returns hd1,5 for instance | 05:05 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, Windows printer via SAMBA? | 05:05 |
| bruno | Everything well, I give good idea to use one, if can, help me! | 05:05 |
| dmsuperman | how can i tell which partition that is? | 05:05 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman whats up? | 05:05 |
| dmsuperman | it's definitely not the 5th partition of hd1, that's for certain | 05:05 |
| tritium | !enter | dmsuperman | 05:05 |
| ubotu | dmsuperman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:05 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, should I use ipp or Windows printer via SAMBA? | 05:05 |
| bruno | shadow Everything well, I give good idea to use one, if can, help me! | 05:05 |
| fitoria | hello | 05:06 |
| harriseldon | elmer: if the printer is a windows share, use Windows printer via Samba. If it is network attached like jetdirect, use ipp | 05:06 |
| starscalling | how long has hoary distros been dead? | 05:06 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman well then if you installed grub to the linux partition | 05:06 |
| dmsuperman | i did | 05:06 |
| dmsuperman | however | 05:06 |
| dmsuperman | when booting grub | 05:06 |
| dmsuperman | it says partition not found | 05:06 |
| FloodBot1 | dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:06 |
| elmer | harriseldon, ok, thanks. SAMBA it is | 05:06 |
| dmsuperman | all i've done so far is install ubuntu | 05:07 |
| pythondasnake | a good site on making my ubuntu box a firewall ?? | 05:07 |
| === Presto123 is now known as Presto | ||
| Shadow420 | bruno what are the issues pm them | 05:07 |
| === Presto is now known as Presto123 | ||
| pythondasnake | best place to go for instructions for a noob? | 05:07 |
| Shadow420 | bruno to me | 05:07 |
| fitoria | hello | 05:07 |
| fitoria | Is there any requirements to make an official ubuntu repo? | 05:07 |
| astro76 | !iptables | pythondasnake | 05:07 |
| ubotu | pythondasnake: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 05:07 |
| dmsuperman | Like, why does it return hd1,5, when the ubuntu partition with grub on it is the second partition on hd1 | 05:08 |
| pythondasnake | ubotu understand but I have my reasons for using it strictly as a firewall.. I will look at your link thanks | 05:08 |
| noodles12 | i'm using kubuntu gutsy. I've connected an external harddrive and when i'm transferring files over. at about 98% it says the file protocol was unexpectedly terminated!. how come i can't transfer any files over? | 05:08 |
| dmsuperman | shouldn't it return hd1,2? | 05:08 |
| kindofabuzz | so anyone know why i'm logged in twice according to users? | 05:08 |
| irc | can someone help me install a program? | 05:08 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman you can set the installer to install grub to the linux partition the then make a grub boot floppy | 05:08 |
| astro76 | dmsuperman: primary partitions are 1-4, logical partitions start at 5 | 05:08 |
| LadyNikon | hey i am messing around with screenlets and beryl.. for some reason i dont get the screenlet-manager | 05:09 |
| bruno | shadow Is the following, I downloaded a program to record the disc dvd, but I am not having it open with my compiler | 05:09 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: I haven't got a floppy drive | 05:09 |
| kindofabuzz | LadyNikon, system- peferances | 05:09 |
| kindofabuzz | pref | 05:09 |
| bruno | hello fitoria!! | 05:09 |
| fitoria | hello bruno | 05:09 |
| elmer | So the printer doesn't work | 05:09 |
| irc | can someone help me install a program? | 05:09 |
| LadyNikon | kindofabuzz: not there either | 05:09 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: So if find /boot/grub/stage1 returns hd1,5, then i run root (hd1,5) and setup (hd0), why does it say partition not found when selecting the partition from grub at bootup? | 05:09 |
| elmer | it acts like it is going to print, and then it doesn't | 05:10 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman hmm maybe you can make a grub boot cd | 05:10 |
| elmer | that is it starts up like normal, but doesn't pull in any paper | 05:10 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: Grub is installed | 05:10 |
| bruno | fitoria where do you live? | 05:10 |
| elmer | it is an HP deskjet 3740 | 05:10 |
| elmer | STALKER! | 05:10 |
| fitoria | Nicaragua and you? | 05:10 |
| elmer | :P | 05:10 |
| harriseldon | elmer: what does it say in the status for the printer in the system-administration-printers? | 05:10 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman thats weird are you in the Live CD | 05:10 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: The only problem is the partitions it setup for menu.lst don't point to the correct partitions | 05:10 |
| bruno | Minas gerais, brazil | 05:10 |
| dmsuperman | and yes, i'm on the live cd right now | 05:10 |
| fitoria | bruno: :D | 05:11 |
| elmer | harriseldon, I see no status on that page | 05:11 |
| bruno | fitoria Do you speek portuguese!! | 05:11 |
| shivamib | bruno: i do | 05:11 |
| fitoria | no man just english and spanish | 05:11 |
| harriseldon | elmer: does the printer seem to do anything? | 05:11 |
| elmer | harriseldon, printer state: idle | 05:11 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman then grub is not installed properly | 05:11 |
| jtg23 | hey all | 05:12 |
| elmer | harriseldon, yeah, it makes noises like it is going to print, but then it doesn't pull in any paper or anything | 05:12 |
| irc | can someone please help me install a program | 05:12 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: I just installed it, following the basic directions that every tutorial gives | 05:12 |
| irc | im stuck and i cant seem to gt it to work | 05:12 |
| Starnestommy | irc: which program? | 05:12 |
| irc | yami pod | 05:12 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: "sudo grub" "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns hd1,5 "root (hd1,5)" "setup (hd1)" "quit" | 05:12 |
| jtg23 | i don't have an ubuntu box handy, but i'm wondering, does anybody know ...can i manually set my mac address on any box or does hardware override my changes in some cases? | 05:12 |
| Agent_bob | hello. i have an hp pcs 750 that is well supported by linux. the printer is working fine but i can't get the scanner to work. any help apreciated (not a newbee here.) xsane reports no device found. ??? | 05:12 |
| bruno | fitoria Yes to understand, that you are even parents? | 05:12 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: Then I reboot, grub loads, and it says invalid partition for selecting the partitions | 05:13 |
| irc | it said i need to run it as root or some thing | 05:13 |
| fitoria | bruno: ?????? | 05:13 |
| harriseldon | elmer: are you sure the connection parameters are correct? you can try selecting "Show printers shared by other systems" under Server Settings in the printer configuration dialog. Then add the printer again. This time, the system will search for listening printers. | 05:13 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman are you going to install grub to the mbr? | 05:13 |
| bruno | fitoria Yes to understand, that you are even parents? | 05:13 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: I just installed ubuntu less than an hour ago, i haven't even been able to boot into it | 05:13 |
| dmsuperman | and yes, i want to install grub to the mbr | 05:13 |
| dmsuperman | which is on hd1 | 05:13 |
| omar_ | Guys, some of the python based applications don't work with me, maybe because I tried to install the latest alpha version of python. can anyone help? | 05:14 |
| elmer | harriseldon, I'll try that | 05:14 |
| Starnestommy | irc: put 'sudo' before the command that you're trying to run | 05:14 |
| irc | i need to know the whole command | 05:14 |
| irc | thats the thing | 05:14 |
| irc | it says i need to run it as root | 05:14 |
| bruno | fitoria: /????? | 05:14 |
| Starnestommy | irc: which command are you trying? | 05:14 |
| dmsuperman | irc: "sudo COMMAND" | 05:14 |
| bruno | fitoria: Ask me ..!!! | 05:14 |
| fitoria | bruno: I dont understand your question can you re write it?? | 05:15 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman ok then re-install ubuntu then after when you get the installing the bootloader click on advance the set the install to (hd0) | 05:15 |
| Agent_bob | irc it helps if you tell what you are trying to install, and where you got it. | 05:15 |
| elmer | harriseldon, I just submitted a test page | 05:15 |
| harriseldon | elmer: any change in printer status? | 05:15 |
| elmer | harriseldon, no | 05:16 |
| dmsuperman | Shadow420: I don't want to install to hd0. hd1 is my primary hard drive. Bios boots to hd1. I installed grub to hd1. Ubuntu is installed at hd1,5. My menu.lst points to hd1,5, but complains that it's invalid | 05:16 |
| bruno | fitoria: How many years you have? | 05:16 |
| fitoria | 19 and you? | 05:16 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman I don't see how hd1 is primary when on my setup my primary is hd0 | 05:17 |
| dmsuperman | that's your setup | 05:17 |
| dmsuperman | i have 2 hard drives | 05:17 |
| dmsuperman | 1 for storage | 05:17 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman so do I | 05:17 |
| Agent_bob | so anyone good with sane/devices ? | 05:17 |
| dmsuperman | 1 for system | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | storage is on hd0 | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | when i first installed my system drive | 05:18 |
| bruno | fitoria: Also ... that legal, we have the same age .. In fact I have 18, I will do 19 days now 27!!! | 05:18 |
| omar_ | Guys, some of the python based applications don't work with me, maybe because I tried to install the latest alpha version of python. can anyone help? | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | i put it in SATA 1 thinking it was the first slot | 05:18 |
| harriseldon | elmer: you are sure the connection parameters are correct? That is the olny issue I can think of. | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | however, on my board it starts at SATA 0 | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | so my storage is at SATA 0 | 05:18 |
| fitoria | bruno: come to #ubuntu-ni | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | however, bios boots to SATA 1 | 05:18 |
| harriseldon | irc: did you follow the directions at the yami pod site http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/help/install_linux.php | 05:18 |
| elmer | harriseldon, state changed to processing | 05:18 |
| dmsuperman | so, hd0 = storage, hd1 = system | 05:18 |
| harriseldon | elmer: good sign! | 05:19 |
| elmer | harriseldon, I agree! | 05:19 |
| dsl546 | ubotu | 05:19 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman then u need to set bios to boot sata 0 also move your storage drive as a slave | 05:19 |
| elmer | harriseldon, the state went to held | 05:19 |
| dmsuperman | SATA doesn't have slaves or masters | 05:20 |
| dsl546 | is ubotu still here? | 05:20 |
| elmer | harriseldon, and when I tried to release it it went processing then held again | 05:20 |
| Starnestommy | dsl546: yes | 05:20 |
| bruno | fitoria: Not enter, I do not know mecher very well that, you do not use msn? | 05:20 |
| Shadow420 | hmm | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | and why would i want bios to boot from my storage hard drive? | 05:20 |
| dsl546 | !time | 05:20 |
| ubotu | Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) | 05:20 |

| MrSoReady | hello I have a Compaq F756NR. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10. I want my graphics to be displayed correctly. I just installed this nvidia-glx-new package that I needed to install but my resolution only still can be 800x600. How do I fix this? | 05:20 |
| dmsuperman | it doesn't matter the order of the drives in SATA | 05:20 |
| Shadow420 | al crap | 05:20 |
| harriseldon | elmer: seems like a connection problem. Is there any authentication on the printer share that you may have forgotten? | 05:20 |
| Shadow420 | big thunderstorm | 05:21 |
| fitoria | Angeltronix: que nota que norri como lo trata la maribel | 05:21 |
| bookmark | MrSoReady, did NVdriver load? | 05:21 |
| fitoria | bruno: #ubuntu-ni | 05:21 |
| elmer | harriseldon, I have authentication on, going to try it without authentication | 05:21 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, is that printer even shared in windows? | 05:21 |
| akatsuki | Hi, I have some problems trying send my laptop image to my external monitor.. using VGA... | 05:21 |
| Angeltronix | fitoria: guasaimaralayucaconlamarinahuana, yumeikin güevo compadre? | 05:21 |
| akatsuki | anyone know how can i fix this? | 05:21 |
| bruno | fitoria: As not understand! | 05:21 |
| fitoria | Angeltronix: ya no sabueso como es la miercoleta | 05:22 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman well my drives are IDE's so SATA I can't really help you | 05:22 |
| MrSoReady | after checking my computer has a GeForce 7000 M | 05:22 |
| MrSoReady | what is NVdriver load bookmark? are you asking me if I installed something? | 05:22 |
| dmsuperman | all i want to know is | 05:22 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, yes. I know that for a fact, because I can print to it in XP | 05:22 |
| dmsuperman | how can i determine which parition hd1,5 points to, vs hd1,1 and so on | 05:22 |
| kindofabuzz | that don't mean it's shared | 05:23 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, you sure? | 05:23 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, that don't mean it's shared, is the printer connected to the XP box? | 05:23 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, yes | 05:23 |
| elmer | not mine | 05:23 |
| eeyore0022 | dmsuperman: I think you can see that in /etc/fstab | 05:23 |
| elmer | but a seperate one | 05:23 |
| Shadow420 | dmsuperman well I can't relly tell you except for look around in forums | 05:23 |
| kindofabuzz | go to you printers in XP and right click it and choose sharing | 05:23 |
| bookmark | does extension 2 require a separate partition for scratch? | 05:23 |
| akatsuki | HI, I just install ubuntu on my laptop. but i always use my external monitor to work on my laptop... i use VGA for that... and im not able to send the image using ubuntu.. anyone know how to fix this? | 05:23 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, wait... it is connected to a Vista box. Sorry. >.< | 05:24 |
| Shadow420 | bookmark what are you doing? | 05:24 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, do the same thing anyway? | 05:24 |
| elmer | brb | 05:24 |
| elmer | checking | 05:24 |
| bookmark | i was wondering if i can put linux all on one partition | 05:24 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah make sure it's networked shared | 05:24 |
| bookmark | but it requires at least two doesn't it? | 05:24 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman the partition numbering is 0+ i.e. 0 is first 1 is second 2 is third... the device.map file in /boot/grub/ determines which drive hd0 is. | 05:24 |
| dpark | hi | 05:25 |
| Shadow420 | book yeah | 05:25 |
| kindofabuzz | well if your xp box can print to it and it's connectd to your vista box then yeah it's hshared already | 05:25 |
| Shadow420 | bookman yeah | 05:25 |
| bookmark | man i already have 8 partitions on my computer | 05:25 |
| bookmark | heheh | 05:25 |
| bookmark | and its a laptop | 05:25 |
| kindofabuzz | make more! | 05:25 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 05:25 |
| bookmark | eheheh | 05:25 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman no. devices.map | 05:25 |
| Agent_bob | or device.map | 05:25 |
| dmsuperman | ah, gotchya | 05:26 |
| kindofabuzz | thaelmer, that's probably the problem, you have it on Vista | 05:26 |
| Shadow420 | bookmark and it's has to partition 2 more to partitions to make it's swap and extended | 05:26 |
| dmsuperman | then why is it not working... | 05:26 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer i meant | 05:26 |
| bookmark | yeah, yikes | 05:26 |
| dmsuperman | logical partitions start at hd?,5 right? | 05:26 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman the (hd?) listings in menu.lst are only referances to the mapping in the map file. | 05:26 |
| bookmark | so many partitions my head is swimming | 05:26 |
| bookmark | i should have put vista programs with vista sys | 05:27 |
| kindofabuzz | you should have not put vista at all =) | 05:27 |
| bookmark | i didn't know that ntfs doesn't really require defragging when i decided to partition so much | 05:27 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman ummm no. logical partitions can start anywhere from 2 up | 05:27 |
| dmsuperman | odd | 05:27 |
| bookmark | hehe i have two vista installations incase one fails | 05:27 |
| luis__ | hi guys | 05:27 |
| kindofabuzz | and they will | 05:27 |
| dmsuperman | then is there any reason that find /boot/grub/stage1 returns hd1,5? | 05:27 |
| bookmark | i doubt it will | 05:27 |
| === sascha_ is now known as aquil | ||
| Agent_bob | err actually hd?.1+ dmsuperman | 05:27 |
| luis__ | good night | 05:27 |
| kindofabuzz | wanna bet? | 05:27 |
| kindofabuzz | eventually | 05:28 |
| bookmark | hmm i suppose i could just move the program files now and reghost | 05:28 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman because that's where it finds it ? | 05:28 |
| dmsuperman | there's only 4 partitions on hd1, and the second one is the ubuntu/grub partition | 05:28 |
| Shadow420 | bookmark so pastebin your fdisk output | 05:28 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, back | 05:28 |
| Shadow420 | bookmark so pastebin your fdisk -l output | 05:28 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, it is indeed shared | 05:28 |
| bookmark | im actually in vista as we speak | 05:28 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, but it is Vista so that sucks | 05:28 |
| kindofabuzz | can you ping your vista machine elmer? | 05:28 |
| elmer | lemme see | 05:28 |
| bookmark | well i stripped vista down, i don't use any graphics | 05:29 |
| bookmark | or superfetch | 05:29 |
| elmer | I don't even know it's IP, kindofabuzz >.< | 05:29 |
| Shadow420 | bookmark then I can't figure it out because I don't know vista that well | 05:29 |
| luis__ | can somone help me, i had have tried to install games on my computer, with konsole and it actually says that there are installed some games but i dont see them can someone tell me how can i install the simple ones, solitary and poker and those simple ones please?? | 05:29 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, well you need to ping it just so you can see if ubuntu can even see it first | 05:29 |
| tarkus | hey, anyone here using linux for web development? im trying to choose a toolset. just need a good editor/environment to work in (XHTML/CSS, Python/PHP) | 05:29 |

| elmer | yeah, I know that kindofabuzz, I just have to find the IP | 05:29 |
| bookmark | i wish i could just have vista and linux share a scratch partition | 05:30 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: I've got partitions, in this order: NTFS Primary (empty) - ext3 logical (ubuntu with grub) - swap - NTFS Logical (storage) | 05:30 |
| bookmark | that owuld be ideal | 05:30 |
| bookmark | then i could just have my 4 primary partitions | 05:30 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: yet it finds it at hd1,5. shouldn't it find it at hd1,2 ? | 05:30 |
| Gilou | tarkus> a friend of mine doing that uses eclipse as an IDE for that | 05:30 |
| kindofabuzz | what's a scratch partition? | 05:30 |
| luis__ | any one please? | 05:30 |
| kindofabuzz | swap? | 05:30 |

| bookmark | gonna take some time though | 05:30 |
| Flannel | andrew__: #ubuntu+1 for hardy (8.04) support, thanks. | 05:30 |
| kindofabuzz | andrew__, install gutsy =) | 05:30 |
| andrew__ | i did | 05:31 |
| andrew__ | n ew is better | 05:31 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman yes but what i'm saying about partition numbering is that there is no "chisseled in stone" law as to what "number" the first logical will be. most common setup is for the first extended partition to be numbered as hd?4 "grub (hd#,3)" and the first logical partition to be +1 that. | 05:31 |
| Shadow420 | andrew__ I don;t know hard but stick with gutsy for now | 05:31 |

| sutabi | Anytone here knoiw how to do cate5 crossover to share internet connection? I have windows xp and Ubuntu, but my windows has wireless and ubuntu has a crossover connectted to my xp box with the wireless. | 05:31 |
| kindofabuzz | new is not always better | 05:31 |
| Flannel | andrew__: Newer is not always better. Suggested that you install a stable version instead of a buggy one. | 05:31 |
| dsl546 | new is better if it's really new | 05:31 |
| kindofabuzz | new just means more bugs | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: Then do you see any reason why when i run root (hd1,5) setup (hd1) and boot into grub it says cannot find partition when selecting one of the partitions? | 05:32 |
| sethrd | Hello. | 05:32 |
| Shadow420 | sutabi ubuntu can be set to use the wireless conncetion | 05:32 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: menu.lst points to hd1,5 for the partitions in the list | 05:32 |
| dsl546 | no, new means cash | 05:32 |
| sutabi | Shadow420: From my Windows XP that has the wireless? | 05:33 |
| sethrd | I don't much care for all the apps that ubuntu desktop installs. Anyway to cut it down during installation, or possible do a server install, and install JUST Xorg and whatever apps I want, instead of a full blown GNOME desktop? gnome-light from Gentoo comes to mind | 05:33 |
| luis__ | i went to konsole and typed sudo aptitude to fiiiiind uninstall programs then i found games uninstall and i did install them it took like two days, now it just finish but there are bi games on the menu is there any simple way and not that long to get just simple card games thta you can help me please flannel? | 05:33 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman i don't even use a partition. there are a thousand ways to setup an hdd. dmsuperman and to answer "do i see a reason" not really, but; one thing to check is if bios is changing the order of the disks. you may have to adjust the hd# accordingly. | 05:33 |
| Shadow420 | sutabi are u dual-booting XP/Ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| Flannel | sethrd: Grab the alternate CD and you can install a text-only system (or the server CD, but you'll want the generic kernel) | 05:34 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: Alright, thanks :D | 05:34 |
| sethrd | dmsuperman: Also, if your drive is SATA, it will show as sda, not hda | 05:34 |
| sutabi | Shadow420: no these are 2 complete differ computers | 05:34 |
| Flannel | luis__: Which games did you install? do you remember? You should ask about the games in #kubuntu, I'm unfamiliar with KDE games. | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | sethrd: It is SATA, but find /boot/grub/stage1 returnd h1,5 | 05:35 |
| Shadow420 | sutabi ok where is ubuntu installed on a laptop or dektop | 05:35 |
| dmsuperman | sethrd: Should I replace that with sd1,5 ? | 05:35 |
| akatsuki | HI, I just install ubuntu on my laptop. but i always use my external monitor to work on my laptop... i use VGA for that... and im not able to send the image using ubuntu.. anyone know how to fix this? | 05:35 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman what i'm saying there is that, bios may call one disk hd0 and as soon as the linux kernel loads the drives may swap. as far as the 0x80 0x81 bios calls are concerned. | 05:35 |
| luis__ | it says only games uninstall | 05:35 |
| sutabi | Shadow420: desktop | 05:35 |
| luis__ | so i just choose to inistall but nothing appears on the menu | 05:35 |
| |Slurpee| | i finally got vista to shrink my drive properly. now I have a 25 gig vista, 20 gig free, 10 gig free, and 7 gig free allocations setup on 1 drive. i am trying to setup ubuntu on my 20 gig free space. how can i setup the partition in ubuntu? I am having trouble with manual | 05:35 |
| luis__ | and i just want to install some card games thats it but i just cant | 05:36 |
| sethrd | Flannel: So, I could install via the via CD, then just do apt-get gnome, and have a bare minimum GNOME desktop, or will it still grab all the crap that comes with the ubuntu-desktop package? | 05:36 |
| Flannel | luis__: Like I said, I'm sure there's some Kubuntu games like the ones you're looking for, but I don't know them. You should ask in #kubuntu | 05:36 |
| sethrd | *via the alt CD | 05:36 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman it's always worth a shot to reverse the hd# in menu.lst and see what happens. | 05:36 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: trying that now :D | 05:36 |
| Shadow420 | sutabi ok ubuntu should be able to access the ethernet card regardless even on the live cd | 05:36 |
| luis__ | ok and how do i get there sorry but i am new on kubuntu and im learning | 05:36 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, I have no clue what the machine's IP is, but I do know that it shows up when I click browse to find the printer | 05:37 |
| sethrd | dmsuperman: I know what I did my last (gentoo) linux install, installer saw my drive as hd1,0 because I was using an external USB cd-rom to install. | 05:37 |
| sethrd | dmsuperman: When I booted, I had to edit the drub line to be hd0,0 | 05:37 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, ok, is the printer on? | 05:37 |
| sutabi | Shadow420: it can access eth0 fine..... but from my other desktop with the internet connection thats it connects to it doesn't do anything | 05:37 |
| Flannel | sethrd: the gnome package in universe grabs stock gnome (which includes the gnome apps, like epiphany, etc). There are other packages for a bare gnome install, yes. I don't believe there's a pre-fab metapackage, but yes, you can build your own lightweight one. | 05:37 |
| Agent_bob | now can anyone offer any advanced help on a scanner setup ? | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | sethrd: Thanks for the tip, gonna try hd0,5 now | 05:37 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, yes it is | 05:37 |
| kindofabuzz | elmer, did you go to admin > printers and go through that? | 05:37 |
| dmsuperman | sethrd: Since my primary drive is actually the second SATA drive in the list for bios | 05:37 |
| elmer | kindofabuzz, yes | 05:37 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel maybe ? when your not busy ? | 05:37 |
| kindofabuzz | hmm dunno, man out of ideas sorry | 05:38 |
| sethrd | dmsuperman: If it is your second drive onthe ribbon, odds are it would be hd1,5 | 05:38 |
| Shadow420 | sutabi ok so it's your xp install not accessing the internet? | 05:38 |
| Chronix | hello i need help | 05:38 |
| sethrd | dmsuperman: But you are more then welcome to try. Won't hurt anything | 05:38 |
| Chronix | can anyone pllz help? | 05:38 |
| sutabi | Shadow420: no winows has the internety | 05:38 |
| sethrd | Flannel: How would you go about building a stripped down version of GNOME without pulling everything from universe? | 05:38 |
| sutabi | Shadow420: ubuntu doesn't | 05:39 |
| Flannel | sethrd: what? You mean without installing the "gnome" package? | 05:39 |
| Agent_bob | Chronix the rest room is down the hall on the left. help with what ? | 05:39 |
| Chronix | lol | 05:39 |
| sethrd | Flannel: Yes, I apologize. How would I go about installing a bare minimum GNOME install? | 05:39 |
| akatsuki | has anyone try before e17 on ubuntu? how does it works? it is slow? | 05:40 |
| Flannel | luis__: `sudo apt-get install kdegames` should do it. I don't think anyone knows what you mean when you say "only games uninstall" but, they may in #kubuntu (since kubuntu uses adept, instead of synaptic) | 05:40 |
| sethrd | Flannel: I want the bare minimums, as I don't use 3/4th the apps the come with the ubuntu-desktop package. | 05:40 |
| Chronix | Agent_bob: umm when i burned the cs and put it in the drive and rebooted my PC when i got the ubuntu page and selected what to do it would say cannot boot from cd. | 05:40 |

| houbuntu | hey guys, does anyone know how to setup apache2 where you can store your shared files i a specific folder? | 05:42 |
| Flannel | sethrd: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome is that package, which depends on http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome-desktop-environment, which looks to be a standard gnome desktop without too many other things. Epiphany, Ekiga, evolution, and that looks like that's it when it comes to extras. | 05:42 |
| shivamib | phuzion: skinny elephant for great justice | 05:42 |
| Agent_bob | Chronix umm that is a sad storry. seeing that i'm still using dapper LTS i'm not likely to be any help with that... maybe someone else can. | 05:42 |
| Nasra | hello and hi ...how do I update for next new Ubuntu? | 05:42 |
| Shadow420 | Chronix it's possible that the cd got screwed up | 05:42 |
| tonyyarusso | houbuntu: like ~/public_html? | 05:42 |
| Randocal | if i'm buying a new video card, who do I wanna go with. Is ATI/AMD's driver support better or worse than Nvidia? | 05:42 |
| phuzion | shivamib, raising elephants is so utterly boring | 05:42 |
| tonyyarusso | Randocal: Intel. | 05:42 |
| Chronix | Shadow420: thank you i will try re downloading and burning it again | 05:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Randocal: Of your two choices though, NVidia. | 05:43 |
| Agent_bob | Chronix yhou can check the MD5 sum tool | 05:43 |
| Agent_bob | too | 05:43 |
| sethrd | Flannel: So install with the alt CD, then just do apt-get install gnome? | 05:43 |
| houbuntu | tonyyarusso, i want to share files on my home network, but where others can just log onto my 192.168... | 05:43 |
| dmsuperman | Agent_bob: I love you | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | :D | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | sethrd: You too :D | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | in a totally normal, non-creepy way | 05:44 |
| Shadow420 | Randocal ubuntu can use the Nvidia and ATI Restricted drivers they are more easier to use | 05:44 |
| shivamib | oh, the love | 05:44 |
| Randocal | I'm running into a bug with my current nvidia card and compiz. Apparently it's still present in Hardy from the bit of reading i've done. Is the ATI/AMD driver support actually bad? or just not quite as good as Nvidia ? | 05:44 |
| tonyyarusso | houbuntu: Sounds like a job for NFS or Samba rather than Apache. | 05:44 |
| houbuntu | cool, i will check it out, thx | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | now, i've got a 7900gsko, anyone have any recommendations for a driver for dual monitor? | 05:44 |
| Flannel | sethrd: gnome will include some extras, gnome-desktop-environment includes fewer. gnome includes synaptic, rhythmbox, etc. Take a look | 05:44 |
| Agent_bob | sethrd do the server install and then install x-window-system-core and the gnome base package not "gnome" it's a meta package that will bloat your system. | 05:44 |
| dmsuperman | is the propietary one the best choice still, or are hte open ones working good for dual monitor now? | 05:45 |
| Nasra | my question went by unnoticeable....how do I update to new version of Ubuntu coming at the end of April I beleave is Ubuntu 8.04, correct? | 05:45 |
| tonyyarusso | Randocal: depends on the card. My (ATI) card is downright awful, but newer stuff is a bit better. | 05:45 |
| sethrd | Flannel: Ok, so then do apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment ? | 05:45 |
| tonyyarusso | !upgrade | Nasra (and for questions about running it before the 24th, see #ubuntu+1) | 05:45 |
| ubotu | Nasra (and for questions about running it before the 24th, see #ubuntu+1): For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:45 |
| Flannel | sethrd: yep (and xorg) | 05:45 |
| Agent_bob | dmsuperman so changing the disk order did the trick ? | 05:45 |
| Shadow420 | Randocal due to the copyrights perfectly making a free version of a high card is hard | 05:45 |
| Randocal | I think it's an X1300 - dunno if that'd fall under "newer" in your books | 05:45 |
| elmer | I've created a monster | 05:46 |
| sethrd | Flannel: Heh, you would like that doin that would fetch xorg in the process. | 05:46 |
| elmer | the pages won't print | 05:46 |
| elmer | so I delete them from buntu print thing | 05:46 |
| elmer | but they are still on the vista print queue | 05:46 |
| Nasra | tonyyarusso: thanks alot | 05:46 |
| elmer | and when I del them from there it gives access denied | 05:46 |
| elmer | that is bad | 05:46 |
| MrSoReady | ok so I just installed the Nvidia Linux driver for the GeForce 7 Series | 05:46 |
| Randocal | I'm not looking to do anything super fancy with it... the machine it's in is only a single core mobile AMD 2600. I just wanna be able to have some of the compiz elements turned on and have the PC setup for basic browsing/email/IRC/and some Torrenting | 05:46 |
| MrSoReady | would a GeForce 7000M be considered a 7 series? also my scren is still only able to be 800x600? | 05:47 |

| htmljunkie | macogw: sorry | 05:47 |
| Randocal | so i'm thinking to move to an ATI x1300 I can get off a buddy | 05:47 |
| Shadow420 | Randocal well I never used it because I have an older Nvidia Card | 05:47 |
| Flannel | sethrd: Not necessarily. Just because you've got those apps doesn't mean your Xserver is on this machine | 05:48 |
| Agent_bob | sethrd x-window-system-core | 05:48 |
| Randocal | I think I might try out the X1300, i think it's new enough that's ATI's restricted driver will work for it. What do I need to do in order to change video cards without hosing my system? | 05:48 |
| Agent_bob | sethrd that's the meta package you want ^ | 05:48 |
| Randocal | Do i just change to a generic driver, then power down, put in the new card, power back up and then install ATI's? | 05:49 |
| akatsuki | hello i want to work with my monitor from my laptop using VGA, but ubuntu does not recognize my monitor,, why is this? | 05:49 |

| sethrd | backgen: Then not to my knowledge | 06:06 |
| sethrd | Macs are too expensive for me. | 06:06 |

| Agent_bob | backgen htop can show if it's network. i/o input/output i.e. the hardware read/write to hardware system calls. i/o is the super system of the whole system. if you have i/o errors it can drag the system down to a very very slow crawl. | 06:15 |

| Agent_bob | backgen basicly if it's an i/o issue the kernel is spending all it's time waiting on the call back from the proccessor to send the next system call.... | 06:17 |
| icesword | xx0xx, you need some dns service then?buy one from a dns service company | 06:17 |

| dmsuperman | what's a good ftp server for ubuntu | 06:18 |
| xx0xx | proftpd | 06:18 |
| Agent_bob | backgen first find out if it's network i/o if that's the issue you can probably fix that. if it's kernel i/o (in box hardware) you either fix broken hardware. or replace malfunctioning modules(driver) "possably the whole kernel, but not likely" | 06:19 |
| icesword | xx0xx, if you want to now if some domain point to your ip,just run nslookup domain name | 06:19 |
| xx0xx | icesword teach me how | 06:20 |
| backgen | Agent_bob: okie...so how do i find out if it's network i/o? | 06:20 |
| Agent_bob | backgen was there a full kernel update ? if so boot the older kernel and test it. | 06:20 |
| Agent_bob | backgen htop >>><backgen> Agent_bob: okie...so how do i find out if it's network i/o? | 06:20 |

| backgen | Agent_bob: kk many thanks! | 06:22 |

| dmsuperman | how can i do that? | 08:21 |
| FloodBot1 | dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ln | 08:21 |

| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 08:21 |

| prodigel | Hi. I'm using ubuntu 7.10 with gnome. Is it possible to create a 'shortcut' on desktop similiar to thoose on windows that points to a samba share and can be browsable when trying to attach a file to mail from that location | 08:22 |
| prodigel | ? | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | icesword: isn't that for partitions? | 08:22 |
| unop__ | dmsuperman, see the --bind option to mount | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i would just symlink it | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | icesword: I want to mount just a folder | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | aye | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | so i've rebooted | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | we mounted that folder for firefox | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | i want to do that automatically on boot | 08:22 |
| dmsuperman | Daisuke_ldo: what's that/ | 08:23 |
| unop__ | prodigel, sure, just use nautilus to mount the samba share on the desktop | 08:23 |
| prodigel | unop__: how do I do that? | 08:23 |
| unop__ | dmsuperman, if you want mounts to be permanent across reboots, you need to add entries into the /etc/fstab file | 08:24 |
| unop__ | prodigel, alt+f2 .. type in 'nautilus-connect-server' .. and it should all become clear then | 08:24 |
| dmsuperman | unop__: do i just put the folder where it says file system? | 08:24 |
| dmsuperman | for example, this line: | 08:25 |
| dmsuperman | UUID=F11EA6452986E83B /media/sdb2 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 08:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dmsuperman, is the directory you want to mount called "www"? | 08:25 |
| dmsuperman | would i just do /media/sdb2/whwatever/blah /var/www ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1? | 08:25 |
| dmsuperman | no, it's DocRoot | 08:25 |
| dmsuperman | but i could make it www | 08:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you could do sudo ln -s /media/whatever/www /var | 08:26 |
| unop__ | dmsuperman, /media/sdb2/whwatever/blah /var/www none bind 0 0 | 08:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | looks like unop__'s suggestion is probably better though | 08:27 |
| dmsuperman | Thanks :D | 08:27 |

| pvh_sa|wrk | hi all... on ubuntu 7.10 i've found some problems with the preview / print functionality of evince... plain lp works, however... | 08:28 |

| tarelerulz | I am trying to install Gizmo the sipphone/im client . I really don't understand what you do ? Most program it is clear what the tar is and the deb . I don't understand if those are the things it need or What . here is the download page http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/linux/?PHPSESSID=452f103d4219ca41b052609d164a0009 | 08:29 |
| dryeyes | hay all I have a issue with ubuntu 7.10 and the brightness applet not working.any ideas? | 08:29 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | tarelerulz, looks like this is the right deb: http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/gizmo-project_3.1.0.79_libstdc++6_i386.deb | 08:30 |
| === arief is now known as co_gatel | ||
| tarelerulz | Well, I feel dumb . I thought they where lib and not the program itself . thanks pvh_sa|wrk | 08:30 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | they also recommend their version of bonjour http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/bonjour_1.0.7-1_i386.deb | 08:31 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | instead of avahi? strange | 08:31 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | tarelerulz, don't worry, it was obscure labelling... they got a deb for libc5 systems, and a deb for libc6 ones. strange... since libc5 is really ancient | 08:32 |
| dryeyes | any ideas in the brightness applet not doin crap | 08:32 |
| * mark[oz] away | 08:32 | |
| tarelerulz | Most program are just named program_name_version.deb and nothing else . | 08:32 |

| kadko | One program like alcohol 120 or nero for ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| unop__ | tarelerulz, a .deb file is just another archive, you can have something very useful in something like foo.deb :) | 08:33 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | kadko, k3b | 08:33 |
| DJones | kadko: have a look at k3b or gnomebaker for burning cd's | 08:34 |
| kadko | tnx | 08:34 |
| dryeyes | when I right click on the tool bar and choose the brightness applet it has a red X over it | 08:34 |
| tarelerulz | I converted the red hate version of Gizmo and really don't understand how you know if it is working or not. No real mic check build into it. Now that I know what deb version of the program I need I will do that one | 08:35 |
| poni | I got a problem in hardy, except for not being able to find nvidia drivers in Hardware Drivers, I also lag a bit, mouse freezing few secs once in a while, etc... Any ideas? Trying my luck in here as #ubuntu+1 is kind of dead :) | 08:35 |

| wizo | hey, is skype supposed to be available in the repository? | 08:35 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | dryeyes, its part of "gnome power manager" and it seems to be related to power management... are you using a desktop or a laptop? and is your power management configured? | 08:36 |
| math | hi, my modulefile isn't working!, in particular the "set-alias" doesn't work. Can someone help me? | 08:36 |
| dryeyes | damn I guess I'm back to ubuntuforums.org | 08:36 |

| dryeyes | and I think so | 08:37 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | dryeyes, what does apm -v tell you? | 08:37 |
| math | the error is: module just doesn't define the alias | 08:37 |
| dmsuperman | without doing sudo gedit, is there a way to open (in File Browser) a file and run the gedit as su | 08:37 |
| dryeyes | not installed | 08:37 |

| wizo | do i have to get the sykpe binary from the site? | 08:38 |
| tarelerulz | Have any of you used Gizmo ? for sip/im ? | 08:39 |

| dryeyes | apmd | 08:39 |
| x0x | . | 08:39 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | dryeyes, well, there's the problem ;) i tried modprobe apm, and it failed on my side, so i don't think i've got the right hardware... | 08:39 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | could try "insmod apm" and see if it works for you | 08:39 |

| xtknight | o | 09:03 |
| bazhang | xtknight: you can /msg ubotu wubi for some very good links | 09:03 |
| tarelerulz | Wubi is right movie for Ubuntu. Anyway you can get Ubuntu to more people is all ways better. I don't know how good Ubuntu install that way is . it looked to be all Ubuntu was in couple of files and not really layed out on the ntfs partition | 09:03 |
| icesword | bazhang, wubi still uses .virtual.disk? | 09:04 |
| bazhang | icesword: nay it is a real install | 09:04 |
| icesword | see | 09:04 |
| icesword | then it is good | 09:04 |
| bazhang | very | 09:04 |
| tarelerulz | bazhang , It really installs Ubuntu on the Nntfs partion ? | 09:04 |
| bazhang | tarelerulz: into a file; you can move it onto its own partition later if you wish; you can read more at wubi-installer.org | 09:05 |
| tarelerulz | Is have Uubntu in file better then have the files that make Ubuntu installed on the partitoin ? | 09:06 |

| bazhang | tarelerulz: for newer users it is the best way; once they get used to it they can put into its own partition--not difficult at all really | 09:06 |
| bazhang | what is gizmo tarelerulz | 09:07 |
| damo23 | gizmo is like skype | 09:08 |

| bazhang | Devil they have a channel #eeepc and a very good wiki at www.eeeuser.com | 09:09 |
| bazhang | blbrown: depends on your needs I would suppose | 09:10 |
| qrwe | is this the place for ubuntu studio concerns? | 09:10 |
| ganes | tell me how to use the smart card in my laptop | 09:10 |
| tarelerulz | They only thing about gizmo is I can't find anyone to call to see how it wall works | 09:10 |
| damo23 | qrwe: /join #ubuntustudio | 09:10 |

| mmm4m5m | geirha: my question is about this line: gksu echo > "$sudo_save" | 09:11 |
| geirha | mmm4m5m: yes, that won't work | 09:11 |
| bazhang | Devil: check out their wiki | 09:11 |
| geirha | mmm4m5m: how about something like this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62611/ | 09:12 |
| mmm4m5m | geirha: I want full input stream redirect (hope other commands will not read from input) | 09:12 |

| ganes | bazhang, i am using smart card but it is not detecting | 09:12 |
| ganes | bazhang, there is no any info related to this in dmesg | 09:13 |

| damo23 | jaffarkelshac: im guessing iwconfig ... | 09:15 |
| geirha | mmm4m5m: yes, as damo23 suggests, you can also do: cat | gksu tee "$sudo_save" >/dev/null | 09:16 |
| icesword | lucky_su, hehe,you use ubuntu or ? | 09:16 |
| kane77 | jaffarkelshac, sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor | 09:16 |

| mmm4m5m | damo23: 10x, for this example I think temp file is better for me. I am 2 months old, yesterday I hear what is pipe :). | 09:17 |
| mmm4m5m | geirha: why >/dev/null - I would like to see if any output/errors are there. And temp file is better... because immediately I take full input stream | 09:18 |

| bid1 | hi! can anyone answer a question concerning LVM ? | 09:19 |
| cwillu | bid1, better to just ask the question | 09:19 |
| geirha | mmm4m5m: tee sends the output to the file-name you specify, and to stdout. So >/dev/null send the output to stdout to a void, and the output is only written to the file (with root privileges) | 09:19 |
| bazhang | cwillu: everyone asleep in the bash channel? | 09:19 |
| cwillu | bazhang, point taken :p | 09:20 |
| mmm4m5m | geirha: oh, ok, right! is it possible to end with many temp files which? maybe I could add "delete temp file" | 09:20 |
| cwillu | bid1, everybody fell asleep in the lvm channel? (bazhang :p) | 09:20 |

| aftertaf | hey :) i'm considering making a bootable usb HDD with ubuntu, to be used for image duplication. | 09:20 |
| lucky_su | icesword: ubuntu & fedora & debian | 09:20 |
| bid1 | i have a VG with 1.65TB consisting of 3 PV with 750, 500 and 400GB. Can I create a striped LV with 1.65TB ? | 09:20 |
| mmm4m5m | damo23, geirha: will do it without temp file :), it is better :) | 09:21 |
| aftertaf | what's the easiest way of instyalling ubuntu on a usb HDD? | 09:21 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, you should be careful with something like this .. if [ "sudo_save" != '' ]; then # it doesnt do what you expect it to do :) | 09:21 |
| * cwillu was half serious when he pointed bid1 at #lvm :p | 09:21 | |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: what it does? :) | 09:22 |
| aftertaf | basically i want to ditch Ghost and DOS | 09:22 |
| bid1 | cwillu, didn't see your last message, is there a LVM-channel ? | 09:22 |
| aftertaf | i hate having to resort to tacky dos boot disks for anything bootable... | 09:22 |
| damo23 | what is the linux alternative to ghost? | 09:22 |
| cwillu | yep | 09:22 |
| aftertaf | there is clonezilla that looks good | 09:22 |
| cwillu | damo23, well, every live cd known to man will work as a ghost alternative :p | 09:23 |
| aftertaf | but not yet used, just read up | 09:23 |
| bid1 | ah, i see... great. | 09:23 |
| bazhang | there is a #lvm channel ;] http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/ | 09:23 |
| cwillu | aftertaf, the installing-ubuntu-on-an-eeepc has a good write up of installing a livecd onto usb | 09:23 |
| aftertaf | i need to dupliacate and distribute XP images : corporate no way out-ness :( | 09:23 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: thx :) | 09:23 |
| damo23 | cwillu: i mean an app that does it | 09:23 |
| cwillu | damo23, what aspect did you need? | 09:23 |
| damo23 | cwillu: just rsync? | 09:24 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, it checks to see if the string "sudo_save" is not empty .. and that will always return true .. you want to check the variable $sudo_save .. better written as if [ -n "$sudo_save" ]; then .. | 09:24 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, more on that in 'help test' | 09:24 |
| cwillu | damo23, gnome's partition editor will probably do everything you need, I usually just use live cd's plus rsync, scp or dd+netcat to do images | 09:24 |
| bid1 | okay, the really seem asleep in #lvm | 09:25 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: ntfs partitions :( | 09:25 |
| damo23 | cwillu: what is netcat | 09:25 |
| bazhang | !info netcat | 09:25 |
| ubotu | netcat (source: netcat): TCP/IP swiss army knife. In component main, is important. Version 1.10-33 (gutsy), package size 64 kB, installed size 228 kB | 09:25 |
| cwillu | damo23, exactly what it says on the tin :p | 09:25 |
| cwillu | cat, over the network | 09:25 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: for DD etc. plus the size of direct duplication is too big for distributing... | 09:25 |
| damo23 | lol | 09:26 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: you have a url for the eeepc thing, google fills me with randomness :) | 09:26 |
| Ademan | is there a way to use emerald themes with metacity? (especially since iirc emerald was actually created for backwards compatibility with metacity) | 09:26 |
| cwillu | aftertaf, dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=65536 | gzip | netcat target.host is the command line burned into my brain :p | 09:26 |
| Bad_boy | HI guys, how can I can i change my screen resolution | 09:26 |

| New2Ubuntu | hi there, I'm new to ubuntu and having trouble getting the GDM to work. | 09:27 |
| New2Ubuntu | After a firefox crash, Ubuntu gets stuck on "System hardware abstraction layer" for about | 09:27 |
| New2Ubuntu | 3 mins before switching to console mode. how to switch back in GDM? | 09:27 |
| aftertaf | thanks dude | 09:27 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: 10x a lot | 09:27 |
| unop_ | !ur | 09:27 |
| ubotu | Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 09:27 |
| shivamib | lmao | 09:27 |
| cwillu | u r !ur'ing why? | 09:28 |
| aftertaf | lol | 09:28 |
| aftertaf | yeah why? y? | 09:28 |
| cwillu | anyways, I'll take this to offtopic :p aftertaf, ntfs-3g is on the livecd's as well afaik | 09:29 |
| unop_ | bcoz 'tis n0t kewl ta sp3ll lik3 tis. | 09:29 |
| cwillu | i.e., you can rsync that | 09:29 |
| damo23 | rsync -av rocks | 09:30 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: thx a lot man, good help :) | 09:30 |
| aftertaf | i cant rid my job of XP, but i can damn well introduce some penguin goodness :) | 09:30 |
| cwillu | aftertaf, you're not trying hard enough | 09:31 |
| cwillu | aftertaf, I needed xp for work, and so I converted the company to ubuntu :p | 09:31 |
| cwillu | it was easier that way | 09:31 |
| aftertaf | hehe i know, but we have in house develoment requiring borland libraries not maintaned in nuxland. | 09:31 |
| shivamib | you're doing it wrong | 09:31 |
| aftertaf | shivamib: :) if the guys had a say in it they'd do it . . . we're alreadu switching to postgres :) | 09:32 |
| cwillu | aftertaf, you could use wine with the libs, no? | 09:32 |
| shivamib | aftertaf: well, godspeed then! | 09:33 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: thinking of trying it too :) just for the libs, while compiling C++ for linux? | 09:33 |
| aftertaf | woried about perfs with all under wine. | 09:33 |
| cwillu | perfs=performance? | 09:33 |
| aftertaf | alcohol is an inhibitor :D | 09:33 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: er, yeah sorry :) | 09:34 |
| cwillu | it's not an emulator, it's a reimplementation, performance should be at least close | 09:34 |
| * aftertaf is a sedret abbreviator | 09:34 | |
| aftertaf | with a drunk keyboard :) | 09:34 |
| aftertaf | s/d/c | 09:34 |
| aftertaf | cwillu: wine? ok worth a try.... using the windiws compiled executables and the librarires...? | 09:36 |
| cwillu | aftertaf, yep | 09:37 |
| cwillu | you'll probably have to do some work to figure out what other libs you need, but once you've got it figured out, you're golden | 09:37 |
| aftertaf | ok. nice summer project when the boss is on holiday :) | 09:37 |
| aftertaf | i think i have most of they isolated already . . . | 09:38 |
| shivamib | fight the power! | 09:38 |
| aftertaf | and the common windoze ones are a lready covered in wine. | 09:38 |
| aftertaf | fight the power that be! | 09:38 |
| shivamib | wine after beer, risky | 09:39 |
| shivamib | or was it whiskey | 09:39 |
| Narlzac85 | is there a simple way to get ubuntu to control my old laptop's fan speed? Its an old gateway thats not acpi compliant | 09:39 |
| cwillu | beer before rye, isn't it? | 09:40 |
| cwillu | slow metabolising alcohol before fast metabolizing alcohol will hit you harder | 09:41 |
| cwillu | or something like that, dunno | 09:41 |
| shivamib | well, kinda late for that | 09:42 |
| Aristocles | hey all! anyone know what the boot message aperture size too small (32mb) means? | 09:42 |

| New2Ubuntu | 3 mins before switching to console mode. Anybody knows why? | 09:45 |

| codename | how do i backup my xorg | 09:46 |
| codename | sorry for asking | 09:46 |

| aftertaf | millertime_018: explain your problem again, with card model and symptoms... someone will pick up on it. | 09:58 |
| cwillu | millertime_018, I think you need to install linux-backports-modules, and then follow the rest of the instructions under 'method g' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller | 09:58 |

| lars_ | and click everything | 10:24 |
| lars_ | edit preferences | 10:24 |
| lars_ | select everything there | 10:24 |
| lars_ | then it should show | 10:24 |
| millertime_018 | preferences? | 10:24 |
| cwillu | Neil3, probably best to untick it | 10:24 |
| lars_ | under the tab playback | 10:24 |

| icesword | one can easily reset root;s password in recovery mode,right? | 10:24 |
| unop__ | !enter | lars | 10:24 |
| ubotu | lars: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:24 |
| lars_ | ok | 10:25 |
| cwillu | Neil3, it's good for particular packages, but it's not intended as a general os upgrade really | 10:25 |
| TerrorBite | How stale is 8.04 LTS? | 10:25 |
| Neil3 | cwillu, ok, i just like having the latest apps though :) | 10:25 |
| TerrorBite | Stable even | 10:25 |
| icesword | one can easily reset root;s password in recovery mode,right? | 10:25 |
| cwillu | TerrorBite, read the motd in #ubuntu+1 | 10:26 |
| DJones | !hardy | TerrorBite | 10:26 |
| ubotu | TerrorBite: 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 | 10:26 |
| icesword | one can easily reset root;s password in recovery mode,right? | 10:26 |
| unop__ | icesword, you don't need to ever do that | 10:26 |
| cwillu | TerrorBite, it's stable for me, but that doesn't mean anything will work for you:p | 10:26 |
| TerrorBite | cwillu, this is an EeePC so, who knows | 10:26 |
| unop__ | icesword, you should be presented with a root shell in recovery mode, thats more than enough | 10:26 |
| cwillu | icesword, you can reset your password, it's strongly recommended that you don't actually set a root password | 10:26 |
| icesword | unop_, you answer my question indirectly means answer is yes | 10:26 |
| unop__ | icesword, ok, yes, but dont do that.. :) | 10:27 |
| jorgen | I had to do a clean install but 8.04 seems stable here too | 10:27 |
| cwillu | TerrorBite, well, let me know; I'd imagine the wireless will work better than it does under 7.10, but beyond that, I haven't been brave enough to update any of my eeepc's to 8.04 yet :) | 10:27 |
| icesword | that means leaving backdoors | 10:27 |
| cwillu | icesword, how so? | 10:27 |
| unop__ | icesword, backdoors? | 10:27 |
| cwillu | icesword, physical access to the machine always means you can root the box; it's not a backdoor so much as a concession to reality | 10:27 |
| TerrorBite | I ran update-manager -d and I'm about to hit the button | 10:28 |
| cwillu | TerrorBite, -> #ubuntu+1 please :p | 10:28 |
| icesword | cwillu, if someone know this,he can reset my root very easily | 10:28 |
| TerrorBite | cwillu, ok | 10:28 |
| jorgen | I had problems with certain kernels with wireless 8.04 did run out of the box... | 10:28 |
| cwillu | icesword, if I can get to your computer, I can do that already | 10:28 |
| icesword | cwillu, how do you mean | 10:29 |
| unop__ | icesword, everyone knows this, so yes .. but that goes with any system, as long as you have physical access to a machine, you can compromise the superuser account, same with windows, same with unix, same with cisco, etc | 10:29 |
| cwillu | icesword, root not having a password means you can't log into it from a booted computer | 10:29 |
| === Koks is now known as gnafu | ||
| cwillu | icesword, you can boot up from recovery mode, but that won't let you crack it over the network | 10:29 |
| phenom789 | or do i need to wait until its released | 10:29 |
| cwillu | icesword, so, the only way I can take advantage of recovery mode is if I'm physically at your computer | 10:30 |
| cwillu | icesword, now, if the computer is locked up with only the keyboard and monitor exposed, _then_ we can talk about the methods to lock down recovery mode as well (and it can be done easily) | 10:30 |
| icesword | cwillu, if that is ,then it is different with debian | 10:30 |
| cwillu | icesword, but if I can touch the box itself, I can root it _regardless_ of the software you load on it | 10:31 |
| shivamib | see also: r00t3d | 10:31 |
| cwillu | icesword, I can root a windows laptop, a mac osx server, a bsd, a debian, a slackware, etc | 10:31 |
| icesword | cwillu, youwantto hack me | 10:31 |
| icesword | ohhh,you said you can touch......ooops | 10:32 |
| cwillu | icesword, you can't even start to worry about securing the recovery console until you've already taken care of the physical security of the box | 10:32 |
| cwillu | and in the vast majority of cases, the physical security is a better option than trying to lock down the recovery console | 10:32 |
| alexmart | hello, how can I make genome terminal show only the current directory not the whole path ? Thanks | 10:33 |

| * shivamib needs food badly! | 10:36 | |

| ariqs | i tried ubuntu before and I didn't like it, but I'm itching to get out of windows for a while because I waste all my time in games | 11:06 |
| fx|RabBit | b0x: you need to edit after the statement saying that the sources could not be verified and are so being uncommented | 11:06 |
| fx|RabBit | b0x: i guess you had no lan cable attached while install? | 11:06 |
| ariqs | so I thought maybe i'd try out this new ntfs partition ubuntu, but I don't know if it's stable | 11:07 |
| b0x | i did | 11:07 |
| b0x | i was internet runing while i installed | 11:07 |

| AmiGanguli | Greetings all! Does anybody have some time to help me sort out my sound problem? Basically, no input or output since my last update (I'm tracking Hardy). Unlike some of the other bug reports, I don't think it's kernel related. The devices seem to exist, and no obvious error message anywhere. Just no sound. | 11:07 |
| Ziroday | ariqs: are you referring to wubi, ubuntu installed inside windows? | 11:07 |
| ariqs | perhaps, ziroday. it was a version of ubuntu you could run off a ntfs partition | 11:08 |
| Ziroday | AmiGanguli: hardy in #ubuntu+1 please and audio is a sore issue right now :) | 11:08 |
| AmiGanguli | Ziroday: thanks. Will try there. I'll keep that in mind and try not to offend anybody ;-). | 11:09 |
| Ziroday | ariqs: yes it is known as wubi, it is only for ubuntu hardy which is in beta stage right now, which means its relatively unstable and you run it at your own risk. I personally have not tried it but I am sure you can find someone in #ubuntu+1 | 11:09 |
| deusprogrammer | I really need some feedback on my terminal emulation issue ;_;. I use vi for school. | 11:09 |
| ariqs | thanks ziroday. I guess i'm not interested then | 11:09 |
| b0x | im really confused at wat im removing | 11:09 |
| ariqs | stability is important to me ;) | 11:09 |

| deusprogrammer | God, why am I being ignored? I'm not asking a newbie question. I know how to use bash and c shell. I know how to write PERL scripts. But the terminal won't read my keyboard correctly ;_; | 11:14 |
| ariqs | maybe people don't know the answer, deus | 11:14 |
| deusprogrammer | Well that's all I wanted to know. If I don't get an answer, I don | 11:15 |
| deusprogrammer | I don't think anyone heard me. | 11:15 |
| unop_ | !patience | 11:15 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:15 |
| deusprogrammer | Right. But "I don't know" is a fair answer too =D | 11:15 |
| ariqs | I'm going to get a somewhat biased answer in here, but what is the best desktop flavor of linux? | 11:16 |
| shivamib | ariqs: yes | 11:16 |
| DJones | deusprogrammer: would you expect 1175 users to say they don't know, that'd make a mess of the channel | 11:16 |
| deusprogrammer | In any case I'm sorry. | 11:16 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: you are probably usein the wrong xmodmap | 11:16 |
| deusprogrammer | I'm just frustrated ;_; | 11:16 |
| deusprogrammer | I'm writing a forking assignment for Systems programming in C, and vi keeps messing up. | 11:17 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us for example changes it to us layout | 11:17 |
| ariqs | last time I ran ubuntu, what drove me away was all the typing of passwords and having to jump through so many hoops just to get java running and such. Is it more friendly these days? | 11:17 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, what terminal are you using, is it just within vi or with all terminal applications? | 11:17 |
| deusprogrammer | All terminal applications. | 11:17 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.de changes to german, an so on... | 11:17 |
| fx|RabBit | ariqs: yes it is | 11:18 |
| b0x | do i wanna remove the # from backports? | 11:18 |
| unop_ | ariqs, something still need running through hoops and loops tho .. that might never change | 11:18 |
| fx|RabBit | b0x NO! | 11:18 |
| b0x | kk | 11:18 |
| shivamib | or someone | 11:19 |
| b0x | done | 11:19 |
| b0x | now do i reboot? | 11:19 |
| deusprogrammer | I tried it but it's still putting ^[[A when I hit up for history. | 11:19 |
| deusprogrammer | And the letters in VIM when I hit the arrow keys. | 11:19 |
| fx|RabBit | b0x: as i told you before ONLY WHERE IT SAYS Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: | 11:19 |
| ariqs | is it gnome or kde these days? | 11:19 |
| deusprogrammer | I bet it's my keyboard. I have heard Ubuntu and Saitek keyboards don't get alone for some reason ^.^ | 11:19 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: you tryed what the xmodmap? | 11:20 |
| deusprogrammer | Yes. I used the xmodmap.us | 11:20 |
| fluteflute | deusprogrammer: my keyboard is the same - its a dell | 11:20 |
| unop_ | ariqs, there are many flavours, ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, etc | 11:20 |
| deusprogrammer | And it still didn't work. | 11:20 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: if you have that suspicion yust change the kleyboard;) | 11:20 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: in that case i have no further clues for you, sry m8 | 11:20 |
| ariqs | what makes the best desktop, unop? | 11:20 |
| deusprogrammer | But I loves my glowing keyboard ;_; | 11:20 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody | 11:20 |
| shivamib | !paranoia | 11:21 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about paranoia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:21 |
| deusprogrammer | Thanks anyways folks ^^. I appreciate it. | 11:21 |
| doktoreas | anyone use the Ubuntu Cutomization Kit? | 11:21 |
| shivamib | rats! | 11:21 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: get yourself a logitec g15 that one glows too hehe | 11:21 |
| fx|RabBit | deusprogrammer: np | 11:21 |
| b0x | www.nopaste.org/p/azikkqfpn | 11:21 |
| deusprogrammer | I was thinking about that actually. The G15 was the one I wanted before. | 11:21 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, what does this give you? echo $TERM | 11:21 |
| deusprogrammer | xterm | 11:21 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, this? echo $SHELL | 11:22 |
| deusprogrammer | Should be csh, let me check. | 11:22 |
| deusprogrammer | /bin/csh | 11:22 |
| deusprogrammer | At this rate I'm going to sleep through Comp Org 2 tomorrow lol | 11:23 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, seems like a csh issue, better ask in #csh | 11:23 |
| deusprogrammer | It was doing it in bash also. | 11:23 |
| ariqs | no preference on best desktop flavor, unop? | 11:23 |
| niloy | hello, everybody, I am using kubuntu first time | 11:23 |
| * ariqs gives niloy a gold star | 11:23 | |
| niloy | After installing kubuntu in my machine from a livecd | 11:24 |

| lars_ | did u do : apt-get update yet box? | 11:24 |
| b0x | i dno if i was ment 2 | 11:24 |
| unop_ | ariqs, best is a relative term, i can't really be objective when recommending distros .. i find that what works for me with the least hassle is my 'best' .. and currently, they are debian and ubuntu depending on what i need | 11:25 |
| b0x | yes lars_ | 11:25 |

| niloy | and can't also play any movie | 11:25 |
| niloy | how | 11:25 |
| niloy | ? | 11:25 |
| deusprogrammer | Are you running on a desktop or a laptop? | 11:26 |
| bert_ | DESKTOP | 11:26 |
| jussio1 | niloy: which gfx card? | 11:26 |
| niloy | deusprogrammer, Do i need to install thoose after installation of kubuntu | 11:26 |
| deusprogrammer | Sometimes it's hard to find the video card driver for a laptop. | 11:26 |
| bert_ | nvidia | 11:26 |
| unop_ | ariqs, what are you looking for in a desktop? | 11:27 |
| deusprogrammer | Sometimes you do. Especially in the case of the nvidia drivers. | 11:27 |
| niloy | jussi01, on board intel sis | 11:27 |
| b0x | im still geting "E: Couldn't find package *Package name*" | 11:27 |

| deusprogrammer | Eww. lol j/k | 11:27 |
| niloy | jussi01, I am using laptop | 11:27 |
| ariqs | unop: I'll be browsing the web, writing c++/pyhton programs and playing games mostly | 11:27 |
| bert_ | bye bye | 11:27 |
| deusprogrammer | ariqs: Do you do any game programming? | 11:28 |
| ariqs | not yet | 11:28 |
| lars_ | have u tried doing the the gui way yet, b0x ? system --> administration --> synaptic packet manager | 11:28 |
| deusprogrammer | If you ever do, I am looking for people for a project I'm doing. | 11:28 |
| unop_ | ariqs, ubuntu works well then .. games might still be a problem, depends on whether wine supports them (and how well) | 11:28 |
| b0x | the programs arnt lited in there | 11:29 |
| ariqs | so i want ubuntu as opposed to kubuntu or xunbuntu, unop? | 11:29 |
| unop_ | ariqs, depends on whether you want a gnome, kde or xfce desktop? | 11:29 |
| deusprogrammer | I was originally writing it for XBox Arcade...but now I really want to mess with OpenGL. | 11:29 |
| deusprogrammer | I wonder if I can still do mode13h in Linux lol | 11:30 |
| lars_ | b0x, you've got no synaptic package manager? | 11:30 |
| unop_ | ariqs, if you want them all (which you can have), install ubuntu and then the kde and xfce packages later on | 11:30 |
| ariqs | i don't know what i want, unop ;) | 11:30 |
| b0x | no | 11:30 |
| b0x | iv got it | 11:30 |
| ariqs | does gnome of kde make the better desktop? | 11:30 |
| lars_ | ah ok | 11:30 |
| b0x | but my programs i want to install arnt listed in it | 11:30 |
| lars_ | b0x, then you cant install them through apt-get either afaik | 11:31 |
| b0x | how do i install gz files? | 11:31 |
| unop_ | ariqs, again, thats only something you can decide, it differs from person to person .. gnome errs on the side of similicity, kde on the side of flexibility .. there are pros and cons to both | 11:31 |
| lars_ | b0x, unpack them, run a make install | 11:31 |
| ariqs | ok, i guess I'll just try them both. Thankyou unop | 11:32 |
| unop_ | lars_, not all gzip compressed files are source packages :) | 11:32 |
| lars_ | unop_, no but if he's looking to install a program that one probably is :) | 11:32 |
| deusprogrammer | Okay one good thing. I just switched back to bash and one problem is solved. | 11:33 |
| unop_ | lars_, i know many installer packages that are gzip compressed and require you run a script rather than a makefile .. | 11:33 |
| _Zombie_ | anyone using ubuntu for gaming with a mouse like the mx518 having 10 keys (mouswheel = 3 keys) | 11:33 |
| GIn | hey lars_, where re you from? | 11:34 |
| lars_ | GIn, belgium | 11:34 |
| deusprogrammer | Now I have another problem...I am trying to switch my root back over to bash too, but chsh is returning "PAM Authentication Failed" | 11:34 |
| GIn | k | 11:34 |
| mrmonster234 | i'm trying to enable ssh login via pub keys and must be doing something wrong. i have "AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh2/authorized_keys" in my sshd_config file, but i still can't login with a keypair. any help? | 11:34 |
| _Zombie_ | last time i installed ubuntu and tried, i was able to map all 10 keys to a shortcut , but the newly bound keys would not work if i hit several keys same time | 11:34 |
| shivamib | dont do that then | 11:34 |
| _Zombie_ | so my question is, is there a new driver out for mice which allows for all 10 keys to work, and yet allow for them to be pushed at the same time ? | 11:35 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, what command exactly? | 11:35 |
| deusprogrammer | I am under sudo su, and I tried to run #chsh so I could change it's default shell back to bash. | 11:36 |
| deusprogrammer | It takes the password and then says "PAM Authentication Failed" | 11:36 |
| kwirk | Hi, can anyone give me a hand with xmgrace? Having trouble getting to read dates properly. | 11:36 |
| ariqs | ubuntu.com says 8.04 is coming soon. Should I wait for 8.04 before I download? | 11:36 |
| pzn | Hi! I installed ubuntu 7.10 a week ago. How does the wireless network applet works? I click on "connect to other network" and fill in ssid and wpa pass; it connects ok. At next boot, I have to do it all again. Is there anythin that i should configure to save ssid/wpa pass for the next boot? | 11:36 |
| icesword | kwirk, depends on your hardware | 11:37 |
| LazyAngel | aAdblock pluss extention doesn't work with firefox-3. Any suggestions? | 11:38 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, do you get the error on sudo or chsh? | 11:38 |
| deusprogrammer | chsh | 11:38 |
| icesword | LazyAngel, beta 5,known issue | 11:38 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, the syntax for chsh is chsh -s /bin/bash username | 11:38 |
| LazyAngel | icesword: the one from backport was just updated from beta 3 to beta 4. Not beta 5 | 11:38 |
| ariqs | why is the download 7.10 and the coming soon is 8.04. What about all the versions in between? | 11:38 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, no pms please | 11:39 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, see !pm | 11:39 |
| ariqs | hah, good to know unop, I almost msged you | 11:39 |
| deusprogrammer | Let me try that. | 11:39 |

| oyvind_ | hi, i just download ubuntu server edition. And installed it. But how do i ci | 11:39 |
| kwirk | icesword: Um, i'm using ubuntu 7.10. My dates are in european format. So i'm using the xmgrace <plotfile> -datehint european and it opens with all the dates in the wrong order, with the x-axis in 1.72E+06... | 11:39 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: you told everything else in 'help info'. My question was what is 'help info'? is it IRC room? :) | 11:40 |
| icesword | sir,i don't understand | 11:40 |
| oyvind_ | hi, i just download ubuntu server edition. And installed it. But how do i config the network to static ip? | 11:40 |
| unop_ | mmm4m5m, its a command .. try it out :) | 11:40 |
| mmm4m5m | :) | 11:40 |
| deusprogrammer | I still get the same error. | 11:40 |
| zcat[1]_ | ariqs: the number is year/date ( Oct 2007 / Apr 2008 ) | 11:40 |

| deusprogrammer | chsh: PAM authentication failed | 11:40 |
| kwirk | icesword: we both talking about xmgrace here??? | 11:40 |
| deusprogrammer | Oops | 11:41 |
| deusprogrammer | Sorry. | 11:41 |
| deusprogrammer | Didn't mean to hit it three times. | 11:41 |
| * shivamib our base is under attack! | 11:41 | |
| icesword | kwirk, i am sorry ,sir cannot help,i am noob | 11:41 |
| kwirk | icesword: cheers......................... | 11:41 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, i dunno why you are being asked for a password there, you shouldnt be .. root should be able to change the user's shell with no prompt of any kind | 11:42 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, exit, and get back to root with this. sudo -i # then try again | 11:42 |
| unop_ | deusprogrammer, or even better. sudo chsh -s /bin/bash $USER | 11:42 |
| icesword | kwirk, sorry,cheers? | 11:42 |
| ubuntu | what up kids | 11:43 |
| pzn | is there any url/wiki introducing about how wireless network works in ubuntu? I need to learn how to "save" some ssid and wpa-pass to connect automatically to the places that I go. | 11:43 |
| shivamib | lol | 11:43 |
| mmm4m5m | unop_: looks like I do not have such command... except if they are two separate commands 'help' and 'info' | 11:43 |
| shivamib | try it in your terminal | 11:44 |
| icesword | shivamib, what is that | 11:44 |
| shivamib | !terminal | 11:44 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 11:44 |
| deusprogrammer | It still does it ;_; | 11:46 |
| deusprogrammer | I probably should have never changed the root's shell in the first place. | 11:46 |
| deusprogrammer | I was just more accustomed to csh as far as setting up it's .cshrc | 11:47 |
| deusprogrammer | But oh well. Looks like I'll just have to put it into bash manually from now on. | 11:47 |
| deusprogrammer | Unless there is some file where I can set it manually to what it's supposed to be. | 11:48 |
| unop__ | deusprogrammer, /etc/passwd | 11:48 |
| unop__ | careful when editing that tho | 11:48 |
| p33 | does ubuntu(server) change grub kernel parameters from time to time? | 11:48 |
| p33 | deusprogrammer: usermod doesnt work on root? | 11:49 |
| ariqs | zcat[1]_: ahh, thanks | 11:49 |
| ariqs | zcat: if I get the beta, will it take much downloading to update it to release, or will I be stuck with beta until I download a whole new version? | 11:50 |
| ariqs | i have a slow connection :) | 11:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ariqs, Wait two weeks for the official release.. | 11:51 |
| deusprogrammer | Holy crap p33 you are a genius =D | 11:51 |
| deusprogrammer | usermod worked =D | 11:51 |
| deusprogrammer | Thank you so much you two =D | 11:52 |
| deusprogrammer | Now if I could just get vi to work right. | 11:52 |
| deusprogrammer | Oh well I can just use gedit. | 11:52 |
| shivamib | deusprogrammer: gedit has super powers | 11:53 |
| deusprogrammer | shivamib: I know it does XD. My teacher just wants us to use vi. | 11:54 |
| ariqs | haha, just took a look at ubtuntu philosophy "Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if they work under a disability." you're saying retards can use ubuntu too!? :P | 11:54 |
| p33 | deusprogrammer: ;) | 11:54 |
| deusprogrammer | I think they could =3 | 11:54 |
| shivamib | aparently | 11:55 |
| deusprogrammer | I finally took the leap though. My home is now Windows free. | 11:55 |
| zcat[1] | ariqs: if you download the beta, you can expect about 30 to 100M of updates per day, or a whole lot of updates (I think almost everything, so probably almost the whole CD worth) if you just wait until release day and update | 11:55 |
| deusprogrammer | The only thing I will miss is being able to play World of Warcraft. | 11:55 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: actuallt WoW works rather well in wine | 11:56 |
| _Zombie_ | wow works perfectly in linux | 11:56 |
| ariqs | thanks, zcat | 11:56 |
| munichlinux | i upgraded to gutsy from feisty, GNOME load is very slow is thee any fix ? | 11:56 |
| zcat[1] | the only game I ever got working in wine, to be honest!\ | 11:56 |
| _Zombie_ | it works better than in windows except the mouse buttons, you can use only the standard buttons efficiently | 11:57 |
| _Zombie_ | which is the reason i play wow in windows still | 11:57 |
| zcat[1] | ariqs: orca screenreader is awesome .. I have a blind friend and the equivalent software for windows (JAWS) costs more than windows .. | 11:57 |
| * Pelo beats himself up for trying the beta | 11:57 | |
| zcat[1] | .. and is NOT as good as orca imho.. a lot of windows software can't be used with jaws | 11:58 |
| deusprogrammer | Really? It works in Wine? | 11:58 |
| deusprogrammer | At near full speed? | 11:58 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: really really | 11:58 |
| deusprogrammer | Wow...I need to try that. | 11:58 |
| ariqs | tobad it's a god awful game | 11:58 |
| deusprogrammer | lol | 11:59 |
| zcat[1] | sorry, not more than windows.. ten times the cost of windows | 11:59 |
| deusprogrammer | Compared to the game I'm going to make it is. | 11:59 |
| donkeyboy | anyone have any recent experience with ubuntu on a HP Compaq nc8430 | 11:59 |
| _Zombie_ | deusprogrammer - i had more frames in linux, because i had more ram | 11:59 |
| GeorgeMiller | Hello | 11:59 |
| deusprogrammer | I will have to give it a shot. | 11:59 |
| donkeyboy | last time I installed it it was ok, but not wonderful, wondering if 7.10 and soon 8.04 would be a better experience? | 11:59 |
| GeorgeMiller | I want to change some of my network settings but it hasnt asked me for a password yet so what password do I use when Iwant to change administrative settings please? | 12:00 |
| zcat[1] | I think 8.04 is going to be awesome.. the beta is so cool | 12:00 |
| ariqs | WoW is the worst mmorpg I ever played | 12:00 |
| ariqs | what's so cool about the beta? | 12:00 |
| deusprogrammer | Is there a way to give my main login root privileges without using sudo? | 12:00 |
| zcat[1] | everything.. | 12:00 |
| XB23 | George Miller isnt that the name of the sergant from heartbeat | 12:00 |
| deusprogrammer | The worst MMORPG I ever played was RFO. | 12:00 |
| ariqs | what is RFO? | 12:01 |
| deusprogrammer | My favorite MMO of all time though is PSO. | 12:01 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: yes. but I'm not in the habit of telling people how to make their system less secure | 12:01 |
| ariqs | don't know what either is an acronym for | 12:01 |
| deusprogrammer | RFO was Rising Force Online. It was god awful. | 12:01 |
| shinoj | anybody used ubundu in toshiba l30 laptop. to me, it does not give any sound | 12:01 |
| ariqs | haven't herad of it | 12:01 |
| deusprogrammer | I was just curious. I wasn't planning on actually doing it. | 12:01 |
| shinoj | can anyone help me? | 12:01 |
| _Zombie_ | my best experience in an mmorpg was "ultima online" not because it was "the best" mmorpg, but because it was the first i played | 12:01 |
| deusprogrammer | Of course not, it's just that bad. | 12:01 |
| _Zombie_ | its like the first sex you have is the best | 12:02 |
| deusprogrammer | I just have fond memories of Phantasy Star Online. | 12:02 |
| ariqs | first sex is often times really friggin bad ;P | 12:02 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: the easiest way is to put your user in a certain group.. that will cause sudo to not require a password, so you're still running as a normal user, you just never need to enter a password. | 12:02 |
| jussio1 | !o4o | _Zombie_ | 12:02 |
| ubotu | _Zombie_: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) | 12:02 |
| ariqs | my first mmorpg was the realm, and Id idn't care for it. My fav was everquest | 12:02 |
| ariqs | I just hate sony so I refuse to play ;) | 12:02 |
| deusprogrammer | Well I did that for my /var/www/ | 12:03 |
| deusprogrammer | I just changed the group for it to webadmins | 12:03 |
| deusprogrammer | And then added myself to that group. | 12:03 |
| deusprogrammer | Is that a secure way to do it? | 12:03 |
| deusprogrammer | PS3 has no games...unless you count Talladegha Nights. | 12:04 |
| munichlinux | i upgraded to gutsy from feisty, GNOME load is very slow is thee any fix ? | 12:04 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: that's the proper way, so you can write to /var/www without needing and special permissions | 12:04 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: the best policy is to use the least amount of permission that still lets you get the job done.. | 12:05 |
| deusprogrammer | Thank you zcat ^^. | 12:05 |
| deusprogrammer | You guys have helped me very much. | 12:06 |
| deusprogrammer | I hope I can return the favor one day by helping others. | 12:06 |
| un0p | deusprogrammer, you aren't respecting privilege separation if you require your user to have root's privileges all the time - doing that isn't recommended (as you might as well run windows if you do :) ) | 12:06 |
| deusprogrammer | And users can belong to multiple groups right? | 12:06 |
| Bacta | How can I find out the IP address of the wireless access point I'm connected to? | 12:07 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: yes.. never be afraid to add another group for more fine-grained permissions :) | 12:07 |
| deusprogrammer | WOW! This thing can actually read my iPod? | 12:07 |
| deusprogrammer | lol | 12:07 |
| un0p | deusprogrammer, sure, most desktop users belong to many groups - see 'id' and 'groups' | 12:07 |
| rizo | hi | 12:07 |
| deusprogrammer | Bacta: Go into a terminal and type "ip addr" | 12:07 |
| rizo | is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu dapper drake to Gutsy Gibbon | 12:08 |
| deusprogrammer | The ip of the wireless access point is the gate way ip | 12:08 |
| un0p | Bacta, examine the output of 'route -n' .. the ip address of the gateway of the 0.0.0.0 route should be the AP's address | 12:08 |
| deusprogrammer | Oops. Was I wrong ;_; | 12:08 |
| shivamib | behold! | 12:08 |
| zcat[1] | Bacta: ifconfig will tell you your current IP, route will tell you the gateway .. 'whatismyip.com' will tell you the real-world IP address if you're behind NAT | 12:09 |
| jussio1 | rizo: yes, but requires a lot of work. you should wait a few weeks for 8.04 to come out, it has a straight uprade path | 12:09 |
| midas06 | sup | 12:09 |
| niloy | deusprogrammer, how can i increse my laptop screen resolution in ubuntu | 12:09 |
| void^ | Bacta: an access point is like a ethernet switch, unless it's a router or dhcp/dns server you don't get to see its ip anywhere | 12:09 |
| shivamib | !fixres | 12:09 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 12:09 |
| rizo | when is 8.04 coming out? | 12:09 |
| midas06 | if i just installed the beta how do i boot from windows? | 12:09 |
| jussio1 | rizo: 24th | 12:09 |
| un0p | please move the hardy discussion to #ubuntu+1 | 12:09 |
| Bacta | what if the access point goes through a router? | 12:09 |
| void^ | Bacta: broadcast pings reveal it sometimes though. | 12:09 |
| rizo | cool | 12:10 |
| midas06 | if i just installed the beta how do i boot from windows? | 12:10 |
| deusprogrammer | So much for sleeping tonight XD | 12:10 |
| zcat[1] | void^: you know of any AP's that aren't also the router and DHCP server? | 12:10 |
| niloy | ubotu, I have run the command , but it was stucked at a line in ablack screen | 12:10 |
| jussio1 | rizo: for further questions, please ask in #ubuntu+1 :) | 12:10 |
| rizo | then i'll wait and upgrade then, Thanks guys | 12:10 |
| void^ | zcat[1]: yes. i use one. | 12:10 |
| un0p | Bacta, if the access point is not a router, it doesnt have an IP address | 12:10 |
| Bacta | well what am I connecting to? | 12:10 |
| un0p | Bacta, to an access point | 12:10 |
| un0p | :) | 12:10 |
| Bacta | how can I get at it's settings? | 12:11 |
| un0p | Bacta, i already told you | 12:11 |
| niloy | how can i increase my laptop's screen resolution.. | 12:11 |
| niloy | ? | 12:11 |
| zcat[1] | void^: OK.. well, that's not the usual config in my experience.. most APs I run into are combo AP+DHCP+ADSL+whetever else | 12:11 |
| un0p | !fixres > niloy (see private message from ubotu) | 12:11 |
| zcat[1] | the very lest I've seen was AP + DHCP | 12:12 |
| void^ | zcat[1]: those can still be configured to run as AP only - useful if you use a linux based server as router and dhcp server | 12:12 |
| zcat[1] | void^: yeah, true | 12:12 |
| mino | hi :) my ubuntu installer wont start :( i click on the desktop link but it just loads and then nothing comes up | 12:12 |
| NairaLanders | humans or bot | 12:12 |
| NairaLanders | humans or bots | 12:13 |
| mino | i check the md5sum of the the cd but its correct | 12:13 |
| mino | every other tool of the livecd works but not the installer | 12:13 |
| icesword | mino, you need to be root to install | 12:13 |
| mino | I'm root | 12:14 |
| zcat[1] | wtf? live CD you click on the installer, live CD user has no pw so sudo runs it as root without asking for pw | 12:14 |
| zcat[1] | sorry.. is there some other livecd other than the ones I've been using the last three years? | 12:15 |
| shivamib | :) | 12:15 |
| mino | i check it by cmd and by desktop twice as root or sudoer | 12:15 |
| mino | but it just loads and stops working | 12:15 |
| mino | on the cmd no output i given, it just terminates | 12:16 |
| DarkMooR | .......HOla............... | 12:16 |
| jtravnick | mino you are boot to the cd right? | 12:16 |
| zcat[1] | mino: got enough ram? | 12:16 |
| mino | 2 GB zcat[1] | 12:16 |
| zcat[1] | ahh.. that should be enough :) | 12:16 |
| mino | jtravnick: yes i boot the live cd | 12:16 |
| mino | everything is okay, i can start firefox, configure the network and so on | 12:17 |
| mino | but the installer just fails :) | 12:17 |
| deusprogrammer | Oops. | 12:17 |
| deusprogrammer | Well wine definately works well. | 12:17 |
| deusprogrammer | It just ran a really obscure shooter title. | 12:17 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: what, you got it to run a windows virus? | 12:17 |
| jtravnick | i forget is there a way to check the cd when you boot? | 12:17 |
| === anonymous_ is now known as druqks | ||

| deusprogrammer | And I had to logout to kill it. | 12:18 |
| un0p | jtravnick, hmm, don't think ubuntu has that | 12:18 |
| icesword | zcat[1], is a command like maybe draklive-install? | 12:18 |
| mino | strace of the installer gives many "No such file or directory errors" but i think a python error if the installer should give some output to stderr or I'm wrong? | 12:18 |
| deusprogrammer | Unless there is another key combo to kill it. | 12:18 |
| jtravnick | un0p, k couldnt remember if it did or not | 12:18 |
| deusprogrammer | I will have to try installing WOW. That would be fun. | 12:18 |
| un0p | jtravnick, how you could check the CD is make an ISO from the CD's contents and compare the checksum of it against the original ISO | 12:19 |
| zcat[1] | deusprogrammer: alt-F2, xkill, click the window you want killed .. usually works. | 12:19 |

| rsmith16384 | hi | 13:55 |
| hikejinx | antek, with a clean install, enabling the restricted driver from system > preferences (or administration, I'm on kubuntu, so I'm not sure) > restricted drivers and then installing xserver-xgl, you can get it working. | 13:55 |

I've been using Ubuntu for more than a year but I don't even know where to start on this issue; and I'd really appreciate help. The Disk Drive is brand new; it's a replacement for a previous drive that had the exactally same problem, that I thought was defective hardware. This is not a hardware issue: Pleas | 14:05 |

| DefineByte | Looking at it though I'm wondering if the driver supports guitar controllers after all. x) | 14:06 |

| noob-africa | hi folks | 14:15 |
| geronimaldo | hey noob-africa | 14:15 |
| noob-africa | am having a little problem remembering how to edit my xorg.conf file | 14:15 |
| KemrinH | amanado - no, it only recognizes DvD's. If I put in CD's it acts like it's empty. | 14:15 |
| _Andrew | noob-africa, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:15 |
| noob-africa | geronimaldo: there are several xorg.conf files in my /etx/X11/ directory... which one is the real one? | 14:16 |
| geronimaldo | the one just called xorg.conf | 14:16 |
| geronimaldo | they can´t all have the same nae | 14:16 |
| KemrinH | legend2440 - I have tried many brands of CD's and types of CD content. it can't read Data CD's, nor Audio CD's, nor professional, nor sony nor gigaware. | 14:16 |
| shivamib | this one ==> /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:16 |
| legend2440 | noob-africa: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:16 |
| amenado | KemrinH-> this same cd/dvd device works in another os? | 14:16 |
| geronimaldo | noob-africa remember to back it up first | 14:17 |
| noob-africa | how? | 14:17 |
| geronimaldo | ie cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak | 14:17 |
| noob-africa | and what do i do with all the other xorg.conf files? | 14:17 |
| geronimaldo | that way if you muck it up. you can just restore the old one. | 14:17 |
| noob-africa | wont they confuse my system? dont i need just one? | 14:17 |
| KemrinH | amanado - Yes, it worked in Windows, and even worked to install ubuntu, but once I came up in ubuntu, it wouldn't see even the install cd anymore | 14:17 |
| amenado | noob-africa and may I suggest a tutorial on using an editor like nano or vim? please google for one if possible | 14:18 |
| geronimaldo | noob-africa: i think your system will only read the main one - xorg.conf anyway | 14:18 |
| izinucs | noob-africa, no.. the system only looks at xorg.conf nothing else | 14:18 |
| noob-africa | i got an error message with gksudo... it said cannot open display | 14:18 |
| geronimaldo | what are the others called btw? | 14:18 |
| noob-africa | there are xorg.conf.1 all the way to xorg.conf.11 | 14:19 |
| noob-africa | then there are xorg.conf.200xxxxxxx four of them | 14:19 |

| earthling | amenado: thanks.. :) | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | majikins: you should still be able to mail I believe | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | can anyone 2nd that? | 14:39 |
| izinucs | KB3NZQ_XP, are you running windows now? or kde? | 14:39 |
| connor | im going crazy here im in ubuntu 7.10 i just installed a couple of things kde4 libdvdread and vlc and the login sound just keeps repeating itself | 14:39 |

| majikins | I assume that if using mail, they would need to open up a mail client to do so? | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | majikins: get them to put it in a folder then you could rsync to a server at the end of each day | 14:40 |
| elmer | w00t! GRUB fixed! | 14:40 |
| KB3NZQ_XP | i just installed ubuntu server but is is all command line | 14:40 |

| Zelta | KB3NZQ_XP: You have to install the window manager / file manager yourself | 14:41 |
| majikins | but how would the mail work? | 14:41 |
| === wasalwaysbuddy is now known as quarkmonkey | ||
| amenado | KB3NZQ_XP-> man dpkg and man apt-get to get familiarized with the packaging system on ubuntu | 14:41 |
| izinucs | KB3NZQ_XP, ah.. to get a desktop do.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 14:41 |
| Zelta | except if you are doing a server install you probably don't want a GUI | 14:42 |
| connor | somebody help me my login sound just keeps looping its driving me crazy im in ubuntu 7.10 | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | majikins: it should find the person logged on and dump it there. they should then get notified. the file way is much easier but its more work for you | 14:42 |
| izinucs | KB3NZQ_XP, so you got your general license.. good for you | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: does it happen if you reboot | 14:42 |
| connor | yes | 14:42 |

| roger_that_gorax | hey hey hey, How do i tell apache to run .py and .pl files in my website dir | 14:43 |
| legend2440 | KemrinH: you could try instead of udf,iso9660 replace that with auto but write down udf,iso9660 so you can change it back if need be | 14:43 |
| noob-africa | am back | 14:43 |
| connor | the only thing i notice is the windows xp went from grub | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: turn off speakers and disble logon sound then reboot and login to test (turn up speakers obviously after reboot) | 14:43 |
| KB3NZQ_XP | i do but i want to have it so if i redo the server i can just pop in the cd and install with out the internet being connected | 14:43 |
| noob-africa | but i have an even bigger problem | 14:43 |
| connor | ok ll try it and come back in 5 minuites | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: you can then play another sound to see if its just that one or a wider issue | 14:43 |
| noob-africa | all my Evolution Mail configs... messages in inbox, sent, draft, etc., have DISAPPEARED! | 14:43 |

| noob-africa | i started up Evolution Mail and it is asking me to configure my accounts... | 14:44 |
| noob-africa | why? | 14:44 |
| majikins | thats fine - more for me is better than having a noob have more steps to complete to submit their opinions | 14:44 |
| noob-africa | and how do i get back my messages? | 14:44 |
| KemrinH | legend2440 - I could try what instead of that? | 14:44 |

| debian_ | what you mean why ? | 14:44 |
| debian_ | why wouldn't it ? | 14:44 |
| izinucs | KB3NZQ_XP, I think it's on the install cd for ubuntu as an accessable package.. you could download that and burn the iso for backup. | 14:44 |
| majikins | seems like I found sumthing on google involving php with the code | 14:44 |
| majikins | looks good | 14:44 |

| legend2440 | KemrinH: where it says "udf,iso9660" replace that with the word "auto" | 14:44 |
| KemrinH | Okay | 14:45 |
| noob-africa | debian_: arent they supposed to be stored locally? | 14:45 |
| debian_ | never used evolution. | 14:45 |

| legend2440 | KemrinH: where it says "udf,iso9660" replace that with the word "auto" withot the quotes | 14:45 |

| KemrinH | legend2440 - wait... cdrom.bd cdrom.bdr are false | 15:47 |
| LjL | x0x: well, the proper way to do it would be to set it in the GNOME preferences for network. but, i don't use GNOME, and i've also encountered problems with network-manager and resolvconf, so i've removed both, and i set my DNS directly in /etc/resolv.conf (note that if you're using DHCP, that too will change your DNS servers automatically) | 15:48 |

| genii | kelvin911: Results of that indicate the floppy is mounted as fileystem type vfat already on /media/disk So if you want to format it, : sudo umount /media/disk then to do the mkfs command as before but for what filesystem type. Since linux wants ext type normally that. eg: sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc would make the floppy formatted to ext2 in this case | 15:53 |

| ghazi-Ubuntu | hello | 16:26 |
| Pici | Deehan: If you installed it using apt, then it has to be there somewhere. Perhaps you arent using the right name. | 16:26 |
| Belkinhelp3 | is there a ubuntu "safe mode | 16:26 |
| bruenig | Belkinhelp3: what is that supposed to mean | 16:26 |
| Deehan | Pici: any other solutions perhaps? | 16:26 |
| Jupp | donkey7186,do you get more resolution options when you go to "Screen resolution"? | 16:26 |
| Belkinhelp3 | bruenig...in windows speak there is a "safe mode" setting where only minimal drivers are loaded | 16:27 |
| bazhang | Belkinhelp3: safe mode for the graphics yes, not sure about mobo fryage though | 16:27 |
| brap | hello, can anyone one here help me with installing from source? | 16:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bjbbop, system.. admin.. login window.. security tab.. enable automatic login.. | 16:27 |
| donkey7186 | yes but maybe cause i changed it from plug and play to lcd it could mess it up? | 16:27 |
| Jaymac | Belkinhelp3: yes, you can boot in single-user mode... | 16:27 |
| grips | hi, when i try to format sdc1 i get this error: /dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! any ideas ? | 16:27 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Jaymac....im listening | 16:27 |
| Jaymac | Belkinhelp3: on the boot screen there is a Recovery Option | 16:27 |
| bruenig | Jaymac: that is not the same thing | 16:27 |
| Belkinhelp3 | jaymac...i tried that...i get the same result | 16:28 |
| Jaymac | bruenig: no, but it is as close as you can get | 16:28 |
| bruenig | Belkinhelp3: there is no such thing, if you want to load less drivers blacklist stuff | 16:28 |
| Andrewm | hi, I'm running xubuntu on a virtual machine, I'd like to set the resolution to 480x800,, how can I do that? | 16:28 |
| genii | grips: What does command: mount | grep sdc1 report? | 16:28 |
| bruenig | Jaymac: it is not closer than booting normally with respect to drivers, so... | 16:28 |
| Bjbbop | thank you sparrow | 16:28 |
| Deehan | Andrewm: install vmware tools | 16:28 |
| Belkinhelp3 | bruenig...do you have a link with a "how to" in mind? | 16:28 |
| grips | @genii, nothing | 16:28 |
| donkey7186 | jupp when i restarted it only has 1 screen size selection | 16:28 |
| gonzo719 | Anyone been able to get VirtualBox OSE working in 8.04 with the latest kernel? | 16:29 |
| bazhang | brap what are you try to compile? do you have build-essential installed; best to get from the repos unless you are good at fixing things/know what you are doing | 16:29 |
| bruenig | Belkinhelp3: I don't remember how ubuntu blacklists stuff, someone here should know though, it will be a config in /etc | 16:29 |
| grips | genii, i killed the ntfs-3g process before | 16:29 |
| donkey7186 | it says that this is a plug and play monitor but the thing is this is connected to my computer? | 16:29 |
| Belkinhelp3 | bruenig....im only 3 weeks on ubuntu....been a windows man for years | 16:29 |
| Andrewm | Deehan: I'm using VirtualBox, I think the answer is in xorg.conf? | 16:29 |
| bruenig | !blacklist | 16:29 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 16:29 |
| brap | hi how can i find a repo with the linphone in it? | 16:29 |
| bruenig | there it is | 16:29 |
| Jupp | donkey7186, you can modify you xorg.conf to the desired resolution | 16:29 |
| genii | grips: What then does command: grep sdc1 /etc/mtab report? | 16:29 |
| donkey7186 | how do i get there? | 16:29 |
| Belkinhelp3 | bruenig...last question...if I use the live CD...can i access my files on the HD? i just need to pull off some pictures the rest can be deleted | 16:30 |
| grips | genii: no output | 16:30 |
| gonzo719 | donkey /etc/X11/xorg.cong | 16:30 |

| bruenig | Belkinhelp3: yes | 16:30 |
| Deehan | Pici: you there buddy? | 16:30 |
| Andrewm | Deehan: this is an X11 issue, | 16:30 |

| donkey7186 | jupp well i went to the xorg.conf. in there is there anything specific i should look for. it has the setting that i just changed it too! on the Identifier: it says FAILSAFE MONITOR | 16:35 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: you want to encrypt them? or just password protect? | 16:36 |
| Jupp | donkey7186, if you say it works now, I wouldn't modify your xorg.conf | 16:36 |

| bazhang | Aiton: what filename did you use | 16:37 |
| Pici | Deehan: try sudo dpkg -r skype | 16:37 |
| Deehan | Pici: just take a sec and go to filesystem>usr>share> and right click to see the delte option.. i guess you might not get it. thats my issue | 16:38 |
| genii | bazhang: Likely "filename.run" | 16:38 |

| Jupp | Jake2point0, try using gParted to resize before you start to install | 17:14 |

| Jake2point0 | jupp then select the use all free contiguas space? | 17:15 |

| Jake2point0 | jupp in the install wizard? | 17:16 |
| Jupp | Jake2point0, yes. Remember to defrag your windows partition and always back up important data | 17:16 |

| perpetual | unop, eek, what does that do? | 17:18 |
| Jupp | dexter, you can't. Ubuntu (like OSX) don't have root accounts, if you want to run anything as root try "sudo" | 17:18 |
| mark__ | is there a command line (cron-able) way to force X to go into power save mode ? | 17:18 |
| jaffarkelshac | !root | 17:18 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:19 |
| jaffarkelshac | haha | 17:19 |
| perpetual | Jupp, not true. sudo su - will get you root. Then do passwd, type a good strong password (twice) and yo have a perfectly normal root account. | 17:19 |

| OpenGuru | kelvin911, you need to restart os perhaps.. | 17:55 |
| Danish989 | timo: i dont think so | 17:55 |
| kelvin911 | what? | 17:55 |
| OpenGuru | timo, no.. | 17:55 |
| kelvin911 | i restart then i wont have swap is it ok? | 17:55 |
| timo | but osx is linux based wrong ? | 17:55 |
| rullie | Danish989, i recommend you get gutsy, wait til hardy becomes solid, then upgrade to hardy | 17:56 |
| kelvin911 | is it okay without swap? | 17:56 |
| Danish989 | rullie : but more people suggest I wait and then just install HArdy | 17:56 |
| Swish | how long does a new distro take to get stable? how many weeks/months? | 17:56 |
| OpenGuru | Danish989, you can install hardy beta now.. | 17:56 |
| === _Lucretia__ is now known as _Lucretia_ | ||
| OpenGuru | later auto update it to make it as release.. | 17:56 |
| Danish989 | but I'm going to be new at linux and I don't want to try beta software | 17:57 |
| Mr_Bad_News | please help i have no idea what is causing this | 17:57 |
| rullie | Swish, a new distro? probably a year | 17:57 |
| makinen | OpenGuru: there's nothing about disabling Compiz and falling back to Metacity in the howto. I can't find a way to disable it on CompizConfig Settings Manager either. | 17:57 |
| OpenGuru | kelvin911, no swap is ok if u have more ram. | 17:57 |
| === edw is now known as mindtech | ||
| Swish | rullie, so about a year from now Hardy will be stable for mass-installs? | 17:57 |
| dryrot | timo: osx is not linux based | 17:57 |
| rullie | Swish, hardy is not a new distro | 17:57 |
| dryrot | i bet hardy will be stable in a couple of weeks! | 17:57 |
| coach_z | how large is the Ubuntu installation??? and why is it using up 3.7 gigs of my flash drive?????? | 17:58 |
| Swish | ah, then allow me to rephrase.. how long before a new version for a distro becomes stable! :) | 17:58 |
| OpenGuru | makinen, well i have this compiz-fusion system tray installed. that has that option.. i think i compiled it from sources.. | 17:58 |
| rullie | Swish, probably 2 -3 months | 17:58 |
| Danish989 | Hardy has been in beta for some time now, so i guess it should be stable when it releases in 15 days? | 17:58 |
| Swish | Danish989, you're kidding right? ;) | 17:58 |
| Danish989 | lol .. I'm still a noob at linux so I just took a guess | 17:59 |
| rullie | Danish989, most software go through beta, are you suggesting most software's stable and bugless? :) | 17:59 |
| Swish | no major release of anything is stable at release time. it's highly unlikely :) | 17:59 |
| dryrot | dont run your nuclear power plant with unbutu | 17:59 |
| OpenGuru | Swish, stable what ? apps or kernel ? | 17:59 |
| Pelo | Danish989, generaly , once the "official" is released it is stable enough, specialy since we are talking about an LTS | 17:59 |
| Swish | OpenGuru, anything really | 17:59 |
| Danish989 | okie so I guess I should just install Gutsy Gibbons and wait even after hardy heron releases for it to get stable? | 17:59 |
| Swish | Many new bugs the team/engineers didn't forsee because users think of wildly new uses for the product which uncover bugs | 18:00 |
| Pelo | OpenGuru, stable as in thngs don'T shut down when you try to save your work | 18:00 |
| rullie | Danish989, it's really up to you, if you're cutting edge, go get beta, if you want stable, gutsy first | 18:00 |
| Danish989 | and then after hardy heron has been out for a while, upgrade from gutsy to hardY? | 18:00 |
| coach_z | how large is the Ubuntu installation??? and why is it using up 3.7 gigs of my flash drive?????? | 18:00 |
| OpenGuru | Danish989, for desktop it should be ok.. | 18:00 |
| rullie | coach_z, ubuntu comes with a truck load of **** | 18:00 |
| OpenGuru | Danish989, i have been trying beta since many days.. and its good | 18:00 |
| Danish989 | so open guru, you suggest that I install hardy heron beta and when it releases I upgrade to that? | 18:01 |
| coach_z | rullie: how can i clean it all up then? | 18:01 |
| Swish | well rullie, sounds like good advice. 3 months it is | 18:01 |
| OpenGuru | Danish989, no need to upgrade.. auto updates will do it for you! | 18:01 |

| ubotu | dryrot, don't know off hand, but: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

| kelvin911 | can I move /home to a another partition? | 18:11 |
| PiousMinion | MadProcessor: connecting manually via commandline works just fine. It's the gnome thingy that refuses to request an ip. | 18:11 |
| MadProcessor | PiousMinion: Okay, so everything is installed and working the only problem is the Gnome applet basically? | 18:12 |
| kelvin911 | should i move /home and /var to other partition? | 18:12 |
| PiousMinion | MadProcessor: yeah | 18:12 |
| komputes | kelvin911: I think you can, but I'd like instructions for that too, i think you move the home dir and then you make changes to a config file | 18:12 |

| Danish989 | all right, so I'll just install gutsy gibbons and then after heron is out of beta, upgrade to that | 18:23 |

| ubuntu | how come i cant remove any files on a RW file system (according to mount, but rm says read-nly?= | 18:26 |
| === julien__ is now known as nyvhax | ||
| nyvhax | can someone help me please ? | 18:26 |
| Pelo | ubuntu, permissions ? | 18:26 |
| Pelo | nyvhax, ask a question about your problem | 18:26 |
| nyvhax | ty Pelo | 18:26 |
| evan_ | Ljl i get alot of egreps: /etc/fancontrol: file missings and a warning that some mandatory settings are missing | 18:26 |
| nyvhax | sorry for my english, i'm french | 18:26 |
| nyvhax | today i download ubuntu 7.10 because windows sucks | 18:27 |
| Pelo | nyvhax, il y a un canal en francais #ubuntu-fr | 18:27 |
| nyvhax | merci (: | 18:27 |
| LjL | evan_, uh, so the file /etc/fancontrol doesn't exist? | 18:27 |
| ubuntu | . /dev/hda1 on /media/windows type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000) | 18:27 |

| nyvhax | thanks | 18:27 |
| Pelo | nyvhax, you can ask in here anyway, you don'T have to go | 18:27 |
| evan_ | LjL, no it isnt | 18:27 |
| LjL | ubuntu: well uhm that to me looks like it should be accessible by all users | 18:28 |
| LjL | evan_: are you on hardy? | 18:28 |
| ubuntu | LjL: and sudo mount says its RW, but i cant delete a file | 18:28 |
| evan_ | Ljl yes | 18:29 |
| Pelo | ubuntu, try it with the command like sudo rm /path/filename | 18:29 |
| LjL | ubuntu: uhm perhaps it's simply not mounted with the read/write driver (NTFS-3g)? you'd need that for any write support on NTFS at all | 18:29 |
| LjL | !ntfs-3g | 18:29 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 18:29 |

| inkynoob | Does anyone know how to do a 'ps' command which will show which group a command is running as? | 18:32 |
| LjL | evan_: well, you can always download the gutsy package (not install it - just download it and unpack it), and look at how the script does the fan controlling | 18:32 |
| ubuntu | how to search ubuntus apt-* to find that "driver"? | 18:32 |

| mheath_rmt | Is anyone aware of the policies on how long an obsolete package is kept in the repositories after being updated? | 18:36 |
| franciscojesus | hi | 18:36 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: I rebooted the whole server too, still not working | 18:36 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: usually works for me, try connecting from ubuntu to windows | 18:36 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: cannot find any shares outside of local | 18:37 |
| Pici | mheath_rmt: Packages are not updated after a version release unless there are security patches or if an update makes it way into backports. | 18:37 |
| Kalamarencu | insane_alien, which RAID thing? It is configured from BIOS and I have Windows running on it | 18:37 |
| insane_alien | i honestly can't remember, it was probably because i was doing a software RAID | 18:37 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: perhaps if you let it be on the network a little while it starts discovering them. I don't know, but samba kinda is a little unpredictable for me | 18:37 |
| insane_alien | i haven't touched the RAID in months | 18:38 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: a 'little'? :) | 18:38 |
| insane_alien | i think it as called dmadm or something | 18:38 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: I suppose you've got a GUI on the server? | 18:38 |
| ubuntu | LjL: even your guide that says its RW, makes it RO.... | 18:38 |
| mheath_rmt | Pici: Thats not what I was asking | 18:38 |
| Pici | mheath_rmt: What were you asking then? | 18:38 |
| Kalamarencu | insane_alien, It has the Nvidia 4 RAID controller. I have two SATA 200GB configured as Stripping RAID 0 | 18:38 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: yes 7.10 alt build | 18:38 |

| Pici | mheath_rmt: oh. I re-read, sorry, I'm not sure. | 18:39 |
| Kalamarencu | thanks! | 18:39 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: howto followed from howtoforge.com. Seems to need some improvement. | 18:39 |
| nucco | anyone know why my filesystem would spontaneously bork itself? | 18:39 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: direct link if you please :) | 18:40 |
| kevin__ | ok, i've installed module-assistant, but the speakup module does not appear when i run m-a | 18:40 |

| kelvin911 | after i edit the partition , do i need to update the fstab manually? | 18:40 |
| Kalamarencu | thanks p33 | 18:40 |
| Danish989 | can I resize a partition on a hard disk thats formatted with the NTFS file system and install ubuntu on that? (will ubuntu change the file system for it's partition itself?) | 18:40 |
| nucco | Danish989: yes, but you will have the choice of filesystem on ubuntu | 18:41 |
| Danish989 | what filesystem should I chose? ext2? | 18:41 |
| nucco | Danish989: ext3 or reiserfs | 18:41 |
| nucco | Danish989: anything but ext2 :) | 18:41 |
| Danish989 | what's wrong with ext2? | 18:42 |
| nucco | Danish989: remember to create a "swap" partition, size roughly 2x your RAM | 18:42 |
| p33 | nothing | 18:42 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-domaincontroller | 18:42 |
| hischild | Danish989, although ext2 is a stable file system, it's been replaced with ext3 which has a lot more features | 18:42 |
| Danish989 | what's a swap partition? | 18:42 |
| nucco | Danish989: remember those windows 98 days with "scandisk?" | 18:42 |
| Danish989 | yes, I actually do | 18:42 |
| hischild | nucco, don't you think you're overstating? i mean, i ain't gonna create 6gb of swap here | 18:42 |
| nucco | hischild: that's why I said roughly. you won't say your system is an Average system would you? | 18:43 |
| hischild | nucco, actually, i would | 18:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 2x your ram up to 2 gig then equal to your ram above that is what I thought the suggested size was | 18:43 |
| genii | Danish989: ext2 and ext3 can be easily converted back and forth to each other. ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2 as well | 18:43 |
| nucco | Danish989: ext2 would act like that on a power cut, or improper shutdown | 18:43 |
| Danish989 | should I google 'swap partiton ubuntu' and read up on that? | 18:43 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: I don't think any amount of waiting will help, I cannot login to the server | 18:43 |
| unicum | a question aside.. will the wlan problems with macbooks (sanda rosa) be gone with ubuntu 8.04? i mean.. not even madwifi works correctly right now | 18:43 |
| nucco | hischild: well, my 1G of ram feels very high-end to me :) | 18:43 |
| hischild | Jack_Sparrow, sounds about right (though even that is a lot and to much for me) | 18:44 |
| kelvin911 | can ubuntu installed in logical partition? | 18:44 |
| hischild | nucco, at school we all have 2gb+ | 18:44 |
| kelvin911 | or it has to be primary? | 18:44 |
| hischild | kelvin911, it can | 18:44 |
| kelvin911 | whats the different between primary and logical? | 18:44 |
| Impsyn | Hey folks, sorry to bother but I was trying to install flash plug in and ran into problems like what was outlined in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 Anyone have suggestions? | 18:45 |
| nucco | personally, If my system has 2G of ram, I will only make 512MB of swap. cos I won't need it. | 18:45 |
| maek | yep nucco I barely touch 400 meg of usage on Ubutnu | 18:45 |
| hischild | kelvin911, logical is like a container. | 18:45 |
| hischild | nucco, i don't have any swap, even with my 2gb main box at home =) | 18:45 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: lemme try and see what that howto says. | 18:45 |
| nucco | hischild: :) | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kelvin911, logicals go in an extended partition as a way around the 4 primary partition limit | 18:46 |
| maek | unlike POS Vista which uses all the ram and then grinds the page file | 18:46 |
| Danish989 | what is a swap partition? | 18:46 |
| maek | I don't even have a swap partition | 18:46 |
| hischild | nucco, i hardly ever even touch the 300 meg here | 18:46 |

| khamael | where can I find the newest kde4 for gutsy? | 18:47 |
| Danish989 | an extension? please ellaborate | 18:47 |
| Jeruvy | Danish989: its for ram, no a partition | 18:47 |
| p33 | Jeruvy: did you get the samba issue sorted? | 18:47 |
| insane_alien | freaky thing is i've had it 90% full | 18:47 |
| Jeruvy | p33: no, I'm about to nuke the box :) | 18:47 |
| p33 | Jeruvy: that howto looks kinda freaky | 18:47 |
| hischild | Danish989, if your real memory is full, the swap is used to extend your normal memory so it doesn't run out of it | 18:47 |
| hischild | insane_alien, you're sure that it wasn't filled with stuff like cache? | 18:48 |
| Jeruvy | p33: I thought it was #$%$#% up big time :) but I need user authentication | 18:48 |
| insane_alien | i'm damn sure | 18:48 |
| Danish989 | I have 1gb ram .. what do you suggest I do? | 18:48 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: err, the howto looks neat to me. (never done domain controllers) :p | 18:48 |
| nucco | Danish989: make 1G of swap | 18:48 |
| hischild | Danish989, what size is your hard disk? | 18:48 |
| insane_alien | i was running some RAM intensive programs | 18:48 |
| hischild | insane_alien, i'm impressed | 18:48 |
| clarezoe | anyone knows how to merge two pdf files into one, thanks | 18:49 |
| insane_alien | they took about 4 days to go through the data | 18:49 |
| Danish989 | I haven't resized the hard disk to install ubuntu on it yet, but the hard disk size is 60 giga | 18:49 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: I can get another linux to see the samba share, but windows will not. | 18:49 |
| nucco | Danish989: assuming you are just a typical person like me :) | 18:49 |
| insane_alien | thats on top of 8GB of RAM | 18:49 |
| Jeruvy | nor will linux see the windows shares | 18:49 |
| hischild | Danish989, then 1gb swap will be more then enough | 18:49 |
| Danish989 | I meant 80 giga, sorry | 18:49 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: you're sure they are in the same workgroup? or that doesn't apply for "domains"? | 18:49 |
| Jeruvy | to add my windows to the DC, it wants a login, doesn't work, | 18:49 |
| kelvin911 | after i change the partition | 18:50 |
| kelvin911 | do i need to update fstab? | 18:50 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: try adding a user that doesn't have a local login on the ubuntu server via smbpasswd | 18:50 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: then use that account when windows prompts for login. | 18:50 |
| Danish989 | how do I create a swap partition? | 18:50 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: I did that, I have a 'share user' already setup for this | 18:51 |
| Jeruvy | nucco: windows requires it, but the user accounts must be local, so with a PDC, I would expect to 'just login' but it doesn't allow it to connect | 18:51 |
| mdd4696 | Hi all. I have a Windows XP-Ubuntu dual boot system set up. Windows is on a NTFS partition, Ubuntu on a ext3 partition, and I have a third FAT32 partition for sharing files between the two. Files written to the FAT32 partition in Windows show up in Linux, but files written there in Linux do not show up in Windows. Any ideas? | 18:52 |

| mdd4696 | hischild: Should I look at xscreensaver, or was that unrelated? | 18:58 |

| Gnea | Jeruvy: the same logic applies - the samba server can either be a Domain Controller (thus inferencing AD) or it can be a Domain Master (the head of a workgroup) | 19:03 |

| harushimo | mdd4696: using my usb cable | 19:04 |
| mdd4696 | harushimo: Can you ls the files on the camera? | 19:04 |
| mdd4696 | harushumo: Or are you using the gui? | 19:04 |
| harushimo | mdd4696: I was gonna use the gui if there is a way through the command line | 19:05 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea: workgroups and domains are distinctly different in windows, but following that HOWTO I'm not sure the distinction is so clear. | 19:05 |

| kane77 | isn't it possible to easily share folders without installing samba? (between two ubuntu boxes) | 19:05 |
| thomasvl | With Compiz...what is the standard setting for "Initiate Window Move" ...the button-value...I think I screwd it up... | 19:05 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: if you want it to be an AD, then setting things up like kerberos and whatnot need to take place - it sounds to me like you just want to be able to go to network places, map a network drive or something, and be presented to input authentication credentials in order to access the files on the share. that's not something that you need a domain controller for. | 19:05 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: what program are you using to configure samba with? | 19:06 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea; precisely | 19:06 |
| harushimo | mdd4696: if you can put the steps in the pastebin..I'll check it out | 19:06 |
| DJones | !nfs | kane77 | 19:06 |
| ubotu | kane77: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 19:06 |
| Jeruvy | gnea: I just need a series of user accounts for logging in | 19:06 |
| mdd4696 | harushumo: If you know what the device location is, you can just go to the location on the command line using the 'cd' command. 'cp' copies files. 'man cp' for documentation... I can't help with the error though, sorry. | 19:06 |
| nucco | kane77: nfs isn't "easy" install "gnome-user-share" | 19:06 |
| DJones | kane77: thats what i use to share files etc between a home network on ubunyu | 19:06 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: just set it to security = user and add your users with smbpasswd :) | 19:06 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea: I did | 19:07 |
| flea | how much more simpler could nfs be | 19:07 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: then map the usernames to be able to access the shares | 19:07 |
| nucco | kane77: on both machines, and there will be a public folder visible on either machines if you look in Places > Network | 19:07 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea: elaborate on 'map' | 19:07 |
| nucco | Jeruvy: my question exactly | 19:07 |
| === Dr_TM is now known as eth01 | ||
| Gnea | Jeruvy: well that depends on the program you're using to configure samba with :) | 19:07 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea: eh? | 19:07 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: are you editting smb.conf by hand or using a gui? | 19:07 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea: a text editor | 19:07 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: oh god... you need swat. | 19:08 |
| Gnea | !swat | Jeruvy | 19:08 |

| Gnea | apt-get install swat | 19:08 |
| Jeruvy | GneaL groan, another package...ok | 19:08 |
| Gnea | then enable it in (x)inetd | 19:08 |
| Jeruvy | how is this going to get my pc's to 'login' tho? | 19:08 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: once you start using it, you'll see just how much better it is :) | 19:08 |
| Jeruvy | Gnea: at this stage it wouldn't be very hard to accomplish that hehe :) | 19:09 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: swat is a web-based configuration method to samba, it makes setting it up much less painless and streamlined. | 19:09 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: make sure you have samba-doc installed too | 19:09 |
| Gnea | Jeruvy: but i gotta go, lunch is over. good luck | 19:10 |

| cder | Scunizi: the reason i asked was because in this how to it says The ready to fire up the new machine and start the Windows installation in a vnc terminal. the http://://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-install-windows-xp-vista-on-xen/ ok its etch but it should work on ubuntu | 19:52 |
| turdega | I have a question on package management. When installing "foo", "bar" was a dep to get it in. Now I have removed "foo" because I didnt want to use it but "bar" is still somewhere in there. How can i clean up deps that are no longer used? | 19:52 |

| Mr_Bad_News | gedit | 20:05 |
| Scunizi | cder, :).. well use the Terminal Server client in ubuntu to connect to the vnc server in xen.. but you need to know the ip address of the xen virtual machine. | 20:05 |
| jonaskoelker | Mr_Bad_News: not in that sense. Which program use the information contained within to decide what to do? | 20:05 |
| Mr_Bad_News | network-admin i think | 20:06 |
| jonaskoelker | okay; bad question. How does autoconfiguration at boot-time happen? What code do I study to determine the interface initialization order? | 20:07 |

| racquad | Hello everybody! Does anyone know where can I change the default gnome calculator? I have a MS natural keyboard with a shortcut to the calculator but I don't like the gnome's default one. | 20:24 |
| MM2 | How I can access files with nautilus thru cifs? | 20:25 |
| hischild | racquad, system -> preferences-> keyboard shortcuts? | 20:25 |
| Mr_Bad_News | "sudo dhclient eth0" even if my wireless is eth1 ? | 20:25 |
| hischild | Mr_Bad_News, no, run sudo dhclient | 20:26 |
| jonaskoelker | Mr_Bad_News: no, eth1 in that case :) | 20:26 |
| racquad | hischild: nope. there is no such config for the calculator there | 20:26 |
| jonaskoelker | or yeah, just sudo dhclient | 20:26 |
| TwoD | Hey all, I need urgent helt with kernel panic freezes in Hardy. A few minutes after logging in, Hardy locks up completely (not even ssh access). I've had syslog and kern.log open, nothing weird in there. Disabled hibernation and screensaver after reading about problems. Works fine as long as I don't log into gnome, or just use cli. | 20:26 |
| combo | kyncani: thanks :)) | 20:26 |
| jonaskoelker | TwoD: I'd guess it's graphics driver issues | 20:27 |
| hischild | TwoD, hardy? | 20:27 |
| racquad | hischild: on that place, I can only set what's the shortkey for the calculator. But I can't change the default calculator program. | 20:27 |
| TwoD | That's what's everyone keeps saying, but how could it even be remotely related to that when it's been working fine before yesterday | 20:27 |
| hischild | racquad, iirc you can also set your own shortcuts there. Make one to your preferred shortcut? | 20:28 |
| jonaskoelker | racquad: I don't think GNOME has a notion of "default calculator program" | 20:28 |
| Mr_Bad_News | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62670/ jonaskoelker | 20:28 |
| hischild | jonaskoelker, the shortcuts do | 20:28 |
| jonaskoelker | orly?? O_o wadda ya know ;) | 20:28 |
| spanther | 15 days left till 8.04 ? | 20:28 |
| muh2000 | hi | 20:29 |
| TwoD | If I had updated gfx drivers (nvidia) then maybe, but I've done nothing of such. All I saw in the updates I got yesterday was some grub stuff and maybe a kernel update, didn't pay attention that much. But to be sure I've tested with both the top two kernel choises in Grub, no difference. | 20:29 |

| hischild | jonaskoelker, well, the shortcuts are integrated into gnome as they do run a lot of stuff. If it's really part of gnome i wouldn't know | 20:31 |
| TwoD | Is there a way I could actually test the gfx drivers, if you really think that's the cause? | 20:31 |
| Mr_Bad_News | any ideas jonaskoelker | 20:31 |

| cbx33 | jonaskoelker, well I have used for an extended period...gnome, kde, openbox, blackbox, e17 and xfce | 20:49 |

| jonaskoelker | cbx33: no pr? | 20:49 |
| Mr_Bad_News | but eth1 is the one i use most | 20:49 |

| cbx33 | xfce is too heavy | 20:50 |
| jonaskoelker | dooglus: that's what's special about it :) | 20:50 |

| dooglus | jonaskoelker: it looked like this when it was dying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojF-Mq9gqkA - now its more dead | 21:00 |
| LjL | Slart: the right syntax to use in fstab is not /dev/disk/by-uuid, but rather like this: UUID=c50ae320-b4fd-434e-b81d-3088ae67e6fc / ext3 defaults,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 21:00 |
| Redian | Scunizi: I had her manually set up the partitions first, then instal, I gave her a new CD this morning that I burned last night and had perfect integrity according to itself. | 21:00 |
| swuboo | Does anyone have any notion as to why the fonts in Firefox 3/Hardy beta look utterly awful? | 21:01 |

| Odd-rationale | swuboo: for issues with hardy see #ubuntu+1 | 21:01 |
| Slart | LjL: this is my fstab line... UUID=e092a502-61f4-4b79-bf08-db978ca7a898 /media/disk5 xfs 0 2 | 21:01 |
| Scunizi | Redian.. my fingers are crossed.. Here's a link to fix grub.. just in case.. http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 21:01 |
| swuboo | Odd-Rationale: Thanks, I'll do that. Didn't know the beta had a separate channel. | 21:01 |
| Odd-rationale | swuboo: np | 21:02 |
| LjL | Slart, well but is the drive connected right now? | 21:02 |
| cisti | Sorry, may someone help me about synaptic? | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | cisti: what is the problem? | 21:02 |
| dooglus | swuboo: they look OK here - better, I'd say | 21:02 |
| Slart | LjL: yes it is.. blkid lists it.. I can look at it using gparted etc | 21:02 |
| Itaku | im in this weird mode where its like all magnified how to i get out? | 21:02 |
| LjL | Slart: the by-uuid directory is there? and, do you have other drives listed in there? | 21:02 |
| dooglus | Itaku: are you wearing someone else's glasses? | 21:02 |
| Slart | LjL: hang on.. I'll do a pastebin with some info | 21:03 |
| cisti | When I try to change preferences and I push ok synaptic blocked | 21:03 |
| Itaku | doofus123: seriously how do i get out of the mode | 21:03 |
| doofus123 | hm? | 21:03 |
| jonaskoelker | how wide is an SD slot? Just shy of an inch? | 21:03 |
| dooglus | do you know how you got into it? I don't think anyone will know what's happened from your description | 21:04 |
| doofus123 | oh. wrong nick | 21:04 |
| Redian | Scunizi: Finished successfully, restarting...*hearts pounding* | 21:04 |
| genii | jonaskoelker: According to my ruler 2.4cm | 21:04 |
| Scunizi | Redian, the suspense is killing me. | 21:04 |
| jonaskoelker | genii: close enough... then it's probably an SD slot I have in my laptop :) | 21:04 |
| Ultraputz | itaku - more than likely, you've got a magnifier, such as found in Accessibility utilities | 21:05 |
| genii | jonaskoelker: Likely, yes | 21:05 |
| jonaskoelker | (shopping for a twilight hack) | 21:05 |
| Itaku | so how do i turn it off | 21:05 |
| Redian | Scunizi: It worked, but they don't have xp anymore... | 21:05 |
| Ultraputz | itaku - no idea, but i'd start by looking under the accessibility launchers and see if you can find the utility there | 21:06 |
| Redian | Scunizi: If they reinstall it, you think they'll have a problem? | 21:06 |
| Slart | LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62676/ | 21:06 |
| jopp | so I'm installing ubuntu for the first time... and it locked up at "getting the time from a network time server"... any tips on making sure that doesn't happen when i try it again? | 21:06 |
| Ultraputz | if it's inconvenient to do so with the magnitification on, then i suggest logging out and logging back in, which should kill it | 21:06 |
| Scunizi | Redian, before reinstalling xp try the grub fix.. or maybe someone here will know know how do edit grub and add the right path for windows.. if you have to reinstall you'll definitely have to reinstall grub | 21:07 |
| spanther | jopp well i've installed 7.10 some minutes ago and i had no such problem... | 21:07 |
| === jakob__ is now known as kobbi | ||
| Redian | Scunizi: I think someone definitely gave me a linka bout it. | 21:07 |
| LjL | Slart, this looks vaguely related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/154834 | 21:07 |
| white_eagle | is it possible to install xp after installing ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| === kobbi is now known as jak0b | ||
| jopp | i didn't figure it was a common problem... should i disconnect it from the network, maybe? | 21:07 |
| LjL | Slart: maybe the being xfs is also somehow involved... i'd file a bug | 21:07 |
| Ultraputz | is anyone familiar with Evolution with POP mail accounts? | 21:07 |
| stroyan | Itaku: There is also a magnifier under compiz settings "System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Settings". Too many magnifiers make it hard to say how you get out of a magnifying mode. | 21:07 |
| Odd-rationale | white_eagle: yes. but then you may want to reinstall grub afterwards | 21:08 |
| Scunizi | Redian, I just did .. for Grub.. see above. | 21:08 |
| swuboo | white_eagle: I did. But Odd-rationale is right, you have to reinstall grub afterwards. | 21:08 |
| spanther | white_eagle, the windows bootloader is agressive and will remove grub so you cant boot linux properly after installing XP you need to reinstall grub then | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | Odd-rationale: OK, not that *I* plan to do that, but a friend is asking | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | thanks | 21:08 |
| swuboo | Once in reinstalled grub, Windows played nice with it, haven't had any problems since. | 21:09 |
| white_eagle | (detecting Linux) (removing GRUB) (all good) (proceeding) | 21:09 |
| Odd-rationale | white_eagle: tell him he wont need to. ;) | 21:09 |
| white_eagle | :D | 21:09 |
| white_eagle | I am very happy with ubuntu | 21:09 |
| spanther | white_eagle, lol yes microsoft wont have any other operating system on the same machine :) | 21:09 |
| swuboo | Except that every time Ubuntu updates its kernel, I have to manually reinsert XP into menu.lst | 21:09 |
| Odd-rationale | swuboo: sudo update-grub doesn't do it for you? | 21:10 |
| stefg | swuboo: then you haven't read menu.lst carefully :-) | 21:10 |
| white_eagle | so in hardy, will ff 3 beta 5 be the default browser? | 21:10 |
| white_eagle | or ff 2 again? | 21:10 |
| swuboo | Odd-rationale: Dunno. Stefg: Nope, I daresay I haven't. | 21:10 |
| genii | swuboo: Put the Windows entry below the line which reads :### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST or it will just keep getting overwritten | 21:10 |
| dfeuer | I've been looking around forums and bug lists, and haven't been able to figure out why my wireless keeps going out on Gutsy with the Intel wireless option on a T61p. Symptoms: Network quits; iwconfig then shows eth1 as /not/ being wireless; attempting to restart the connection leads to severe system instability. | 21:10 |
| swuboo | Well damn. That's good to know. | 21:10 |
| dfeuer | Well... I don't know about severe instability. | 21:10 |
| spanther2 | white_eagle, i dont think a beta software goes into a work system :) | 21:10 |
| dfeuer | But it hangs anything it touches. | 21:10 |
| Slart | LjL: hmm.. well.. sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart seemed to do the trick.. now it's listen in /dev/disk/by-uuid at least | 21:10 |
| white_eagle | anyone? | 21:11 |
| swuboo | I just keep a textfile with the appropriate XP entry and just paste it back in every time. | 21:11 |
| cjsoftuk | Hi, I've got an Asus P5LD2SE mainboard and temperatures all read OK, but I can't get Ubuntu to control the sensors. In Windows SpeedFan works, but I have no entried in /proc/acpi/fan or anywhere obvious. ANy suggestions? | 21:11 |
| white_eagle | I hate ff 2 | 21:11 |
| rwycuff | white_eagle:anyone What | 21:11 |
| swuboo | white_eagle: The present version of the Hardy beta has Firefox 3. | 21:11 |
| swuboo | Unless they *remove* it before launch, which is extremely unlikely, then Hardy will continue to have Firefox 3 Beta 5. | 21:11 |
| white_eagle | yeah, swuboo, but will the *final* version have fx 3 | 21:11 |
| spanther2 | swuboo, so the final release of hardy will have a beta firefox? great.... | 21:12 |
| dooglus | white_eagle: ff3b5 is in hardy. I don't know if it's the default, but I think so. it's /usr/bin/firefox as I remember | 21:12 |
| Itaku | im in this weird mode where its like all magnified how to i get out? | 21:12 |
| white_eagle | spanther2: yeah, thats not too good, but Firefox 2 is just too bloated | 21:12 |
| swuboo | Of course, Firefox 3 has the ugliest font rendering I've ever seen, but there you go. | 21:12 |
| spanther2 | white_eagle, yes but stable on a work system its not a good idea to include beta stuff beta should stay at testing | 21:13 |
| dooglus | white_eagle: fx3 isn't any less bloated than fx2 is it? | 21:13 |
| Boohbah | swuboo: i'm kind of disappointed that adblock plus addon doesn't work with beta 5 | 21:13 |
| Boohbah | dooglus: it renders pages faster | 21:14 |
| swuboo | Boohbah: Mine hasn't stopped working, as far as I can tell. | 21:14 |
| dooglus | Boohbah: maybe. since I upgraded to hardy everything runs so slow it's hard to say | 21:14 |
| white_eagle | dooglus: its a general question, I use firefox rarely | 21:14 |
| spanther2 | Boohbah, use noscript what helps really good so that no 3rd party site script runs :) so never popups and many other security features hehe | 21:14 |
| swuboo | Noscript is the greatest invention since the printing press. | 21:15 |
| Boohbah | spanther2: i do use noscript too :) | 21:15 |
| spanther2 | i've visited a virus overloaded crack site once to test noscript and i got no virus alert but before using noscript i had 6 of them xD | 21:15 |
| white_eagle | wow IE4 is the worst browser ever invented | 21:16 |
| swuboo | Noscript can, in fact, cure leprosy by the laying on of code. | 21:16 |
| spanther2 | noscript removes most ads because they are from another page build in while page loads :) | 21:16 |
| cisti | Someone may help me solving this problem with synaptic's block...is possible to talk in a private chat? | 21:16 |
| dfeuer | Anyone know about wireless on T61p? | 21:16 |
| dfeuer | No respenses yet. | 21:16 |
| jaffarkelshac | whats wrong with synaptic | 21:16 |
| Odd-rationale | cisti: what do you mean by block? do you have an error message? | 21:16 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, you have t61? | 21:17 |
| cisti | no messages | 21:17 |
| Redian | Scunizi: I just hope her windows install didn't fail because of the MBR problems caused by the ubuntu install failures | 21:17 |
| Redian | Scunizi: Because if she reinstalls windows then grub is removed? | 21:17 |
| dfeuer | faskiz, T61p, actually. | 21:17 |
| binarical-app | does anyone know how to update my kernel to i686, i386 is just not the right kernel for my macbook | 21:17 |
| dfeuer | But it's similar... | 21:17 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, what resolution are you running there? | 21:17 |
| Moduliz0r | hi, how would I do a massive operation to remove all spaces in filenames (and replace them with underscores_) in all files inside a directory (and subdirectories)? | 21:17 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, can you do 1400x900? | 21:18 |
| Scunizi | Redian, well.. overwritten yes.. but easy to put back and when you do you should have an entry for windows automatically put in there.. | 21:18 |
| Odd-rationale | cisti: so what is wrong? is it hung up? | 21:18 |
| dfeuer | Yeah, around that. What's that have to do with my wireless problem, faskiz? | 21:18 |
| redwhitewaldo | is there a smaller importing-pics gui program than gthumb? | 21:18 |
| spanther2 | nice :) FF3 doesnt have this "bookmarks toolbar" bar so more space now for pages :D i hate it at ff2 that i couldnt remove this toolbar :/ it was a waste of space because i never needed it | 21:18 |
| Scunizi | Redian.. if you want to mess with editing grub I can pastebin mine so you can see how windows is listed.. might just be the same with a couple of tweeks. | 21:18 |
| La-miiss-29 | vs parler francais | 21:18 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, none I was just asking here about t61 and 1400 resolution saw that you had t61... | 21:19 |
| cisti | the synaptic window get busy and never get out of working | 21:19 |
| stefg | !fr | La-miiss-29 | 21:19 |
| ubotu | La-miiss-29: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 21:19 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, sorry don't know about wireless on t61p | 21:19 |

| Odd-rationale | cisti: can you exit synaptic and restart it? | 21:19 |
| binarical-app | dfeuer, check out madwifi.org | 21:19 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, did you install anything special to be able to do 1400x900? I can only get up to 1280 :( | 21:20 |
| cisti | I have to kill it | 21:20 |
| Redian | Scunizi: It should be the same as mine. | 21:20 |
| dfeuer | binarical-app, I don't have an Atheros chipset. I have an Intel chipset. | 21:20 |
| dfeuer | faskiz, I use the Nvidia proprietary driver. | 21:20 |
| Scunizi | Redian, yep.. if you're dual booting.. /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:20 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, strange... | 21:21 |
| Odd-rationale | cisti: so whenever you try to install something with synaptic, it locks up and you have to kill it? | 21:21 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, mine does not work... | 21:21 |
| dfeuer | Do you have T61 or T61p? | 21:21 |
| Boohbah | spanther2: you can remove the bookmarks toolbar in ff2 | 21:21 |
| faskiz | t61 | 21:21 |
| cisti | no...it worksm, but I can' edit preferencies | 21:22 |
| dfeuer | Ah, well that has a different monitor, faskiz. | 21:22 |
| faskiz | oh? | 21:22 |
| faskiz | ok | 21:22 |
| spanther2 | Boohbah, so? i've searched through all functions never found an option for this so tell me how then please :) | 21:22 |
| dfeuer | Yeah. Mine's widescreen, is yours? | 21:22 |
| faskiz | yeah | 21:22 |
| dfeuer | Hmm.. | 21:22 |
| Boohbah | spanther2: View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar | 21:22 |
| dfeuer | Do you know what it's supposed to support, faskiz? | 21:22 |
| novafirst | help | 21:22 |
| faskiz | I think so | 21:22 |
| Boohbah | !ask | novafirst | 21:23 |
| ubotu | novafirst: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 21:23 |
| faskiz | I installed latest nvidia driver | 21:23 |
| Mr_Bad_News | can someone please help me | 21:23 |
| binarical-app | how novafirst | 21:23 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i cannot get my wireless cards to connect to a network | 21:23 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, do you have nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M video card? | 21:23 |
| dfeuer | faskiz, go to system-> preferences->screen resolution | 21:23 |
| Boohbah | Mr_Bad_News: what kind of card is it? | 21:23 |
| Cain_ | i accidentally removed my kde login screen, how do i change back to ubuntus? | 21:23 |
| spanther2 | Boohbah, it's that easy and i ever searched under edit > preferences xD | 21:23 |
| novafirst | updated from 7.10 to latest beta but it kept the same kernel? | 21:23 |

| Mr_Bad_News | the card is fine | 21:24 |
| faskiz | dfeuer, thanks | 21:24 |
| Mr_Bad_News | its got all the drivers | 21:24 |
| dfeuer | Sometimes I wish I'd gone with the cheap graphics that's better supported, but whatever. | 21:24 |
| Mr_Bad_News | the problem is i cant connect to any wireless networks | 21:24 |
| Boohbah | Mr_Bad_News: so, can you assoiciate it with an access point in iwconfig? | 21:24 |
| Mr_Bad_News | yes Boohbah | 21:24 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i can see the networks | 21:24 |
| dfeuer | Any of the new people know about wireless on T61p? | 21:24 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i think im connected | 21:25 |
| Boohbah | are you using WEP or WPA encryption? | 21:25 |
| Mr_Bad_News | but i think there is some loopback or something | 21:25 |
| Odd-rationale | cisti: you'd have better luck here in the main channel. I cannot really understand what is happening. When you try to edit pref, it locks up | 21:25 |
| spanther2 | ubufox 0.4~beta1 <-- its an extension in firefox what is it for? :) | 21:25 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i send 1 packet at a time but dont receive any Boohbah | 21:25 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i connect for about 10 seconds when i unplugg my wired connection | 21:27 |

| Boohbah | i'm guessing it's a problem with encryption/key exchange... have you setup the keys correctly? | 21:27 |

| binarical-app | cisti: if you open a terminal you can enter: sudo apttitude "your package name here" | 21:38 |
| Mr_Bad_News | my card just wont connect | 21:38 |
| brand0n | hello. I'm new to linux and I'm stuck at getting my internet working. I have on-board nic and it's not recognized by ubuntu installer. what do I need to do, compile kernel or something? | 21:39 |
| binarical-app | cisti: if you want to be able to do this more often or you just dont like aptitude the try: sudo apt-get install "your package name here" | 21:39 |
| asinine | hey there | 21:39 |
| Itaku | Odd-rationale: yeah it does scroll the screen when i go to the edge | 21:39 |
| raetsel99 | brand0n, what make of card it is? | 21:39 |
| asinine | hey guys got a quick question | 21:40 |
| binarical-app | hi asinine | 21:40 |
| cisti | yes, I know! I use apt-get... but I need to solve this problem in "synaptic" | 21:40 |
| asinine | i installed dapper | 21:40 |
| Mozze | Mr_bad_news, no MAC filtering or anything? | 21:40 |
| raetsel99 | questions are quick it's the answer that take the time, asinine :) | 21:40 |
| nextstep | anyoone ? | 21:40 |
| Odd-rationale | Itaku: maybe your resolution is too big for your monitor? | 21:40 |
| Mr_Bad_News | no Mozze | 21:40 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it was working fine until i upgarded to gutsy | 21:40 |
| brand0n | raetsel99 Realtek. it's on Abit IP35 motherboard | 21:41 |
| binarical-app | cisti: there are many reasons why a ui may crash | 21:41 |
| asinine | and i noticed that the bug with xorg wasn't there anymore | 21:41 |
| JarG0n | Is there a way to load a flash object starting with the video promoted x number of frames? | 21:41 |
| asinine | but if i install gutsy i get a xorg bug that gives me funny gdm and window brder parameters | 21:41 |
| cisti | I would like to find why this happens | 21:41 |
| quittt | heyyy | 21:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i manually set the default gateway ? | 21:42 |
| asinine | should i be filing a bug report or something? | 21:42 |
| binarical-app | cisti: you will also probably be able to find out what the problem is by adding the "-v" option, for verbose , this way you will be able to see the entire output of the application and tell us whats going wrong, or if its just a qestion of conflicting sources or something | 21:42 |
| quittt | why Flash, when I close the browser, crashes it?? | 21:42 |
| quittt | it is nonsense | 21:42 |
| raetsel99 | brand0n have you installed or booted from the live CD? | 21:42 |
| quittt | it happens with Firefox... when I close it, after viewing a video on youtube, it CRASHES!!! | 21:42 |
| binarical-app | cisti: like so : sduo apt-get install -v "your package name" | 21:43 |
| quittt | !flash | 21:43 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 21:43 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do you manually set which device is default gateway? | 21:43 |
| cisti | running "synaptic -v" ? | 21:43 |
| binarical-app | cisti: what are you trying to get with synaptic ? | 21:43 |
| jopp | My installer keeps locking up at 15% Detecting file systems... anyone know how to fix that? | 21:43 |
| brand0n | raetsel99 I have it installed | 21:43 |
| Itaku | Odd-rationale: nope | 21:43 |
| ompaul | Mr_Bad_News, sudo route add default gw IP-GOES-HERE | 21:43 |
| Mr_Bad_News | no ompaul i mean how do i manually set eth1 instead of eth0 | 21:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Itaku: dunno then. sorry.. | 21:44 |
| cisti | but apt-get works fine... are the synaptic preferences who makes synaptic freeze | 21:44 |
| binarical-app | cisti: running "synaptic -v" is not going to work | 21:44 |
| ompaul | Mr_Bad_News, sudo route add default gw IP-GOES-HERE eth1 | 21:44 |
| raetsel99 | brand0n , if you open a terminal and do lspci does it list the card? | 21:45 |
| brand0n | raetsel99 I installed it on my friends' computer too, and internet worked out of the box there | 21:45 |
| brand0n | raetsel99 no | 21:45 |
| === DreamThief is now known as dreamthief | ||
| binarical-app | cisti: the reason why i am asking you to use the terminal is so that you will see if the problem is the ui or if its something a little deeper dug. running the command in the terminal will return with a command you could enter to fix synaptic | 21:45 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i unplugged my wired connection | 21:46 |
| binarical-app | cisti. the apt-get that you wanted to use synaptic for | 21:46 |

| Daisuke_Ido | henryvps, ask in #ubuntu+1, hardy is still beta | 21:54 |
| binarical-app | cisti: im sorry but you will have to tell us a bit more about your problem and what you are experiencing. the option -v combinded in the correct syntax of a command will show you the whole out put of the command....................every last little thing that it does. this way if there are any errors you will see "erorr" right away . it also helps so that we dont think there is a problem with synaptic rather, only a broken updat | 21:54 |
| `duKe` | I know ompaul, but I have Xubuntu 7.10, not hardy and I want to install firefox3 over apt ;) | 21:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | `duKe`, firefox-3.0 i think is the name of the package | 21:54 |
| `duKe` | yes, but its the alpha 8 of firefox... | 21:55 |
| ompaul | `duKe`, if it is not in backports this channel will not help you ~(hint what repo is there by default - well it ain't universe ;-)) | 21:55 |

| jagggy | binarical-app, yes :( | 22:01 |
| stroyan | khamael_: A bad ACPI in the BIOS may fail to adjust fan speed. The first thing to do is check for BIOS updates for your laptop. | 22:01 |

| binarical-app | TurtleBoots: ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers, so if you have windows on a partition and you a bit handy as to where the drivers are located you can very easily extract the driver and "wrap" it in ndiswrapper. i prefer to use mad wifi since it has always worked for me , and does proudly bost to support almost all wifi chipsets and cards | 22:15 |

| tabijo | comes up with xgl not present | 22:28 |
| sivel27 | when i type alsamixer i get this: | 22:28 |
| tripps | hooray | 22:28 |
| sivel27 | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 22:28 |
| tabijo | where do i get that | 22:28 |
| tripps | 10 minutes to do that | 22:29 |
| DKong | if i install an app that shows for kde in add remove applications will it work in gnome? and if so will it install KDE?? | 22:29 |
| tripps | stroyan, yeah running opteron i think | 22:29 |
| tripps | athlon64 rather | 22:30 |
| binarical-app | DKong: it will not install the kde de | 22:30 |
| DKong | so will install some sort of translator to run the KDE app? | 22:31 |
| tabijo | so xgl is like something i can install from terminal? | 22:31 |
| Starnestommy | DKong: it'll install core KDE libraries that it needs to run. no modifications have to be made to them to work | 22:31 |
| swatTX | anyone else having problems with downloading upgrades today? | 22:32 |
| tesko | no | 22:32 |
| nanuu | H0130 | 22:32 |
| tesko | not me | 22:32 |
| nanuu | TESKO | 22:32 |
| nanuu | how are you | 22:32 |
| binarical-app | DKong: KDE is the k desktop environment. if you have gnome, then KDE is not nessecary. if you are using ubuntu (gnome) and need a K application, seeing that both are debian distros, you will not need kde to run the application | 22:32 |
| tesko | getting drunk | 22:33 |
| nanuu | tesko | 22:33 |
| nanuu | heyy | 22:33 |
| Boohbah | binarical-app: if you have gnome, then KDE is EXTREMELY NECESSARY | 22:33 |
| ma3x | hi when i install ubuntu, it connects to the wireless network, but there is no internet | 22:33 |
| ma3x | i can't browse pages | 22:34 |
| ma3x | do you know what should be done? | 22:34 |
| binarical-app | Boohbah: i agree with you entirely ......one hundred percent | 22:34 |
| tabijo | ok can anyone point me to how i can install xgl | 22:34 |
| tesko | ma3x are you using a tandy? (i kid i kid) | 22:34 |
| binarical-app | Boohbah: can you tell me how i can simply switch to kde 3.5 please | 22:34 |
| ma3x | tesko, i don't understand your question | 22:34 |
| Boohbah | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 22:35 |
| tabijo | boobah? does that install xgl? | 22:35 |
| binarical-app | Boohbah: in my past experianace, this command did not remove gnome, and i was left with a missmatch system | 22:35 |
| ma3x | tesko, i use wpa2-aes | 22:35 |
| swatTX | ma3x, do you know if your DNS servers are listed? that might keep you from the internet | 22:35 |
| Boohbah | tabijo: no | 22:35 |
| ma3x | tesko, ubuntu asks me for the passowrd, i give it and the it connects to the network. but there is no internet i can't ping the nameservers for example | 22:36 |
| ma3x | swatTX, 192.168.1.1 is listed as nameserver, which is good! | 22:36 |
| tesko | do you have dsl or cable | 22:36 |
| Boohbah | binarical-app: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 22:36 |
| ma3x | tesko, dsl with routers | 22:37 |
| ma3x | *router | 22:37 |
| * binarical-app gives: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop a go | 22:37 | |
| binarical-app | thank you Boohbah | 22:37 |
| tesko | can you , through your browser, connect to your router? | 22:37 |
| tripps | ok just closed eog and opening another image. let's see how long this takes. mind you going next and previous worked quickly. WTF is eog doing that is killing my HD to open a single image? | 22:37 |
| alastor666 | bonne nuit l'irc | 22:37 |
| swatTX | ma3x, is it listed under the DNS tab of the network manager? | 22:37 |
| ma3x | tesko, yes to my router, but not to the internet | 22:38 |
| abdrahim | Can someone tell me the best way to share Ubuntu files with Windows computers? | 22:38 |
| ma3x | swatTX, yes it's listed i think so | 22:38 |
| tabijo | i tried : sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 22:38 |
| tesko | well thats a start | 22:38 |
| Boohbah | abdrahim: samba | 22:38 |
| tabijo | but when i try to start compiz it still comes up with xgl not ther | 22:38 |
| tabijo | but when i try to start compiz it still comes up with xgl not ther | 22:39 |
| tabijo | Checking for Xgl: not present. | 22:39 |
| swatTX | ma3x, well that's what usually keeps me off the internet when i switch between networks. If it's listed under the Network Settings (DNS tab) then I can be of no further service =p | 22:39 |
| binarical-app | abdrahim: the best way to do it would be to ask your admin to "let" you into the windows network. you will still however need to use samba to share "your" folders with the windows network | 22:39 |
| ma3x | swat I'll check thanks! | 22:40 |
| tripps | ok eog just loaded. only took 4 minutes this time. that's ridiculous | 22:41 |
| mwolf | did anybody have trouble with samba after a gutsy distribution upgrade? | 22:41 |
| Wibble- | help! I've just upgraded my motherboard and now X has stopped working... I've tried to reconfigure xserver-xorg, but even though it apparently detects my mobo graphics (nvidia) the X server still won't start. | 22:41 |
| Wibble- | I don't have a browser since I don't have X - can anyone suggest how I can get some form of X working so I can try and find a proper solution? | 22:41 |
| tesko | X is overrated | 22:41 |
| binarical-app | abdrahim: to do this find your ip address , take it to the "network admin" pc and enter it as okay in system settings. on your computer attempt to "network". install samba, configure your shared folder | 22:41 |
| Kazuya | hola!!! | 22:41 |

| Wibble- | tesko: I can't use links - it says it can't find the framebuffer device | 22:43 |
| Kazuya | =P | 22:43 |
| KNY | Danish989, no problem. just remember you'll need to do that every time you boot :) | 22:44 |
| Starnestommy | Danish989: I think gaim/pidgin or xchat-gnome may already be on the livecd | 22:44 |
| binarical-app | Danish989: applications: internet : pidgin has an irc client | 22:44 |
| tesko | really now | 22:44 |
| tesko | thats odd | 22:44 |
| binarical-app | Danish989: pidgin is contained in the default packaging | 22:44 |
| KNY | binarical-app, yeah but it's not as good as xchat :) | 22:44 |
| binarical-app | but its alot simpler | 22:44 |

| MrObvious | I need to install Ubuntu on a laptop that has the boot sector occupied already (meaning Grub can't install to it). Where should I move it to (dualboot with an existing Vista install) so that it doesn't cause problems. I have to resize Vista yet anyway. | 22:50 |
| MrObvious | ? | 22:50 |
| flea | redwhitewaldo: you can try the ati binary drivers aka fglrx i believe its still called | 22:50 |
| redwhitewaldo | flea: ATI Technologies Inc R480 [Radeon X850XT Platinum (PCIE)] | 22:50 |
| flea | redwhitewaldo: there is a gui control panel | 22:50 |
| redwhitewaldo | flea: really? cool. where. | 22:50 |
| Redian | How do you save the grub menu.lst file? | 22:51 |
| binarical-app | MrObvious. move grub to the boot partion that you created on the ubuntu disk | 22:51 |
| MrObvious | binarical-app: Ok, so when I resize Vista, it will use say the first half of the drive right? Then I just make a few EXT3 partitions for Ubuntu and make one a /boot? | 22:52 |
| binarical-app | MrObvious: if you install grub to the mbr you still will be able to boot windoze vista | 22:52 |
| MrObvious | binarical-app: And the computer will use Grub like normal? | 22:52 |
| flea | redwhitewaldo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Fglrx_lowpower?highlight=%28fglrx%29 | 22:52 |

| dmsuperman | how can i make sure that apache has read access to the www folder when the www folder is actually mounted from another filesystem? | 23:03 |
| dmsuperman | i've got /media/sdb2/www mounted as /var/www, and no matter what i request from localhost i get a 403 error | 23:04 |
| Wibble- | I see - I do have that, but that page doesn't discuss hardy - only up to gutsy which is the one I'm on | 23:04 |
| Dr_willis | the www dir is owned by the proper user? | 23:04 |
| dmsuperman | the /var/www dir? or the /media/sdb2/www one? | 23:05 |
| OasisGames | Is it just me, or did someone bork Nautilus in Hardy? I'm getting a symbol-not-found crash when I click an icon with libnautilus-burn-extension - nautilus_file_info_get_mount, I've reinstalled libraries, updated everything, restarted, to no avail. | 23:05 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, if /var/www is a link to /media/whatever then i THINK you willneed to tell apache to 'follow' links also. | 23:05 |
| dmsuperman | Follow SymLinks ? | 23:06 |
| stroyan | Wibble-: Hardy is there. Follow the UpgradeNotes link. | 23:06 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, i think thats the options | 23:06 |
| dmsuperman | alright | 23:06 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, i havent messed with this in ages. :) but i recall needing that option befor. | 23:06 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: How can I ensure that apache actually has read access to the folder though? Which user/group is it? | 23:07 |
| McGod | Ok, I compiled a modifed wpa_supplicant | 23:07 |
| McGod | Were would I put it | 23:07 |
| McGod | Where* | 23:07 |
| genii | dmsuperman: www-data:www-data | 23:07 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: And do you know why it is that when i try to choose a different user or group in the properties / permissions dialog that it changes back to root immediately? | 23:07 |
| Dr_willis | yea for genii :) | 23:07 |

| millertime_018 | hey i'm having a problem making an iso of the disc that's in my drive | 23:08 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, you need to change the perms from the terminal as a root user? and you dont change perms on the link. but the actial dir its linking to? | 23:08 |
| Wibble- | I see it now - thanks stroyan ... Unfortunately it tells me to use update-manager which requires X (it fails when running saying somthing about connecting to GDM)! I don't have X at all at the moment :/ | 23:08 |

| binarical-app | millertime_018: please burn the cd at the lowest speed | 23:09 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: I was using the nautlius -> right click -> properties -> permissions tab method of changing perms | 23:09 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, and were you running nautilus as root? I would hope not. :) | 23:09 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: Can't change permissions on the file as my own user. how can i allow my own user to do so? | 23:10 |
| millertime_018 | no i'm not burning an iso | 23:10 |
| * binarical-app bangs head against the wall | 23:10 | |
| millertime_018 | i want to create an iso of the disc that i have in my drive | 23:10 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, if the thing isent owned by your user, you cant. | 23:10 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, it wouldbe scary if a normal user could change perms on the servers web pages. :) | 23:10 |
| justaname | i have a serious problem, who can help? | 23:10 |

| ubotu | justaname: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | millertime_018, how are you trying to make it anyway? | 23:11 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: so if I can't change the perms as a normal user, and i shouldn't run it as root, what should i do to change it? | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, you MUST change them as root. using the shell is the best way. | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | chown command. :) | 23:11 |
| Starnestommy | or with sudo | 23:11 |
| binarical-app | sudo -s or sudo -s or sudo su | 23:12 |
| binarical-app | *sudo -i | 23:12 |
| Dr_willis | or sudo chown user:group /whatever/whatever/whatever | 23:12 |
| Dr_willis | no need to make a sudo shell. :) | 23:12 |

| justaname | i downloaded the cd from ububtu and burned it, then rebooted, I have the option of using ubuntu disc to boot, i do, ubuntu freezes after the nifty graphic, now winxp will not boot even in safe mode!!! this is a bad first experience for me an linux... | 23:13 |
| Dr_willis | millertime_018, cd? dvd? Video? PS2 game? ect.....? that dd command i gave can make a image of normal disks. | 23:13 |

| forestang | everytime i turn on my laptop | 23:15 |
| forestang | it just goes into unix | 23:15 |
| forestang | like it's defragmenting or something | 23:15 |
| genii | dmsuperman: Check the file modes (eg dwrx etc) of the files there by ls -l and make then readable if neccesary | 23:15 |
| millertime_018 | I have a folder called "VISTA" on the dvd that i want to make an iso of on the hard disk | 23:15 |
| forestang | or fsking itself | 23:16 |
| binarical-app | forestang: you must select windows if you want grub to boot it | 23:16 |
| forestang | yeah, it keeps fsking itself | 23:16 |
| Dr_willis | justaname, boot a xp live cd. and use the fixmbr/fixboot command perhaps to see ifwindows can fix itself. | 23:16 |
| forestang | no you don't understand | 23:16 |
| justaname | will try, tyvm, will be back if no worky | 23:16 |
| forestang | i'm doing this from another computer | 23:16 |
| dmsuperman | genii: They're all rwxrwx---. I forget, which is group vs user vs global? | 23:16 |
| genii | dmsuperman: Wait, if it's mounted at /media/sdb2/someplace how are you accessing it from underneath /var/www ? | 23:16 |
| forestang | because even when it says it's done | 23:16 |
| forestang | no matter what i type | 23:16 |
| forestang | it wont go back to the homescreen | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | millertime_018, thats not exactly what you asked how to do.. :) copy the folder Vista to the HD. and use a tool like k3b or gcombust or other cd burnign tool to make a iso image file with the contents of the directory | 23:17 |
| lostmyTTYs | dmsuperman, <user><group><other> | 23:17 |
| dmsuperman | genii: I mounted my NTFS partition to /media/sdb2. Inside that partition is www. I mounted /media/sdb2/www to /var/www | 23:17 |
| amorphous_ | I'm ssh-ing into a server downstairs, but it seems really slow. Is there any way that I can tell if anyone else is ssh-ing in? | 23:17 |
| millertime_018 | i've tried that-i already have k3b and i couldn't figure out how to do it with the program | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, ntfs? EGADS... that may never work. :) | 23:17 |
| millertime_018 | i've already got it on the disc | 23:17 |
| lostmyTTYs | amorphous_ who | 23:17 |
| forestang | i don't want to have to reinstall ubuntu | 23:17 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: Windows / Ubuntu dual boot, it's the best option | 23:18 |
| lostmyTTYs | amorphous_: I mean run 'who' or 'w' | 23:18 |
| amorphous_ | no-one has a key :? | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, ntfs will not beable to have the proper permissions for this stiff. is the BIGGEST problem | 23:18 |
| forestang | how do i get it to stop booting into unix? | 23:18 |
| genii | dmsuperman: So you bind-mounted it like for instance sudo mount -o bind /media/sdb2/www /var/www/somesubdirnamehere | 23:18 |
| genii | ? | 23:18 |
| Guest40819 | hi guyz | 23:18 |
| Guest40819 | i need help | 23:18 |
| forestang | join the club | 23:18 |
| Guest40819 | any one here to help me here? | 23:18 |
| dmsuperman | genii: I added it to my fstab and ran mount -a | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, you will have to use the proper mount options to allow the web browser to access it fully. but that may cause other security issues. | 23:18 |

| Guest40819 | plz some one help me | 23:19 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: how do you mean? | 23:19 |
| Starnestommy | Guest40819: what do toy need help with? | 23:19 |
| forestang | so does anyone know what's going on with my laptop? | 23:19 |
| forestang | Starnestommy? | 23:19 |
| forestang | what are you doing here? | 23:19 |
| Wibble- | stroyan: ok - thanks, I'll try... | 23:19 |
| forestang | do you always use that screen name? | 23:19 |
| McGod | Guys, where is the wpa_supplicant binary located | 23:19 |
| miketosh | I really lost my TTY's, can anyone help me get them back???? GAH! There is no /etc/inittab in ubuntu like other nix's, so I don't know where to find when they get destroyed during boot | 23:19 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, with ntfs you have to set the permissions at mount time. to let the web browser access that one dir. it will also have full access to the whole ntfs partition. | 23:19 |
| Guest40819 | i m new to linux and i have tried to run ubuntu but got a probblem | 23:20 |
| * binarical-app gives aptitude purge gnome gnome-core gnome-destop-environment a go / reboot now | 23:20 | |
| forestang | Guest40819: ditto | 23:20 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, every permission/file on the filesystem will have the same perms/ownership. the web browser Might not like that sort of insecure setup. | 23:20 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, err. i mean the web server. :) not browser. | 23:20 |
| Guest40819 | i m new to linux and i have tried to run ubuntu but got a probblem , any one here free enogh to help me? | 23:20 |
| Starnestommy | Guest40819: could you please explain the problem? | 23:20 |
| miketosh | Guest40819: just ask your question | 23:20 |
| nickrud__ | miketosh /etc/event.d for inittab replacement, but consider removing splash from kernel boot line, seems to fix it for many | 23:21 |
| forestang | if it's that the computer keeps fsking itself, i got the same problem | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: The entire partition is just storage, various documents and the www folder. It's fine (and even preferable) that the web server has access to it, i'd like php to be able to access the files | 23:21 |
| miketosh | oh, thatnks a ton nickrud__ I'll check that out | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: Is there some other way I should be doing this? | 23:21 |
| === nickrud__ is now known as nickrud | ||
| tanner | I am having a problem installing compiz fusion | 23:21 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: would changing the document room to /media/sdb2/www outright, without mounting, make things better? | 23:21 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, i wouldent be keeping the web files on a ntfs filesystem. :) you do know thers tools to let windows read.write to ext2/3 filesystems? | 23:21 |
| miketosh | nickrud__ any way to edit boot strings after booted, or do I have to reboot into grub? | 23:22 |
| === RoBzZ_ is now known as RoBzZ | ||
| nickrud | miketosh reboot into grub unfortunately | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, if its on a ntfs filesystem - that may cause issues. tjat may be hard to track down. | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: Aye, but they become a hassle to use. This is a primarily windows PC, but I'd like for the web server to be able to continue to run when i boot into ubuntu | 23:22 |
| swatTX | I keep getting 'Failed to fetch...' during updates BUT i can ping the IP they are trying to get to. any ideas? | 23:22 |
| turdega_ | exit | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, ive had no issues with the ext3 thing for windows. but good luck. :) You may have to do some disabling of the various apache security checks. | 23:23 |
| forestang | is there a specific command that I should run to get back to the homesc | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | I gotta run to the store. | 23:23 |
| nickrud | dmsuperman fs-driver.org is transparent to winows, iirc. Windows won't even know the difference | 23:23 |
| binarical-app | still..... can someone help me to remove gnome from my system please | 23:23 |
| dmsuperman | nickrud: Either way, I don't have the space to move all the files somewhere else to change it to ext3 | 23:24 |
| dmsuperman | nickrud: it's tons of data, and to change filesystems i'd have to move it, and i haven't got a spot to put it | 23:24 |

| zyx386 | hi | 23:25 |
| nickrud | dmsuperman then you're gonna have some fun with apache (I fear) | 23:25 |

| tanner | jdong. I have a problem with compiz fusion. when I go to change my appearance preferences I get this "The Composite extension is not available' | 23:26 |
| zyx386 | who can i find ubuntu logo as GIMP file? like http://www.debian.org/logos/ | 23:26 |
| dmsuperman | nickrud: Do you know where the DocumentRoot is defined by default for apache? | 23:26 |
| dmsuperman | nickrud: httpd.conf by default is an empty file, and it's not in apache2.conf | 23:26 |
| nickrud | dmsuperman you might get around most issues with setting umask=000 on the mount line. and it's /var/www , defined in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 23:26 |

| wapko | Randocal: think you would need a script for tat. i dont know that particular program. but when you make it, make sure you send to the whole hostname of the bot. so you eliminate fakes stealing your pass if the bot does go down | 23:32 |
