| StPatrick | zcat[1], That's what im tryin to say the problem is completely screwey. | 00:00 |

| Boohbah | bwayne: to laugh at their computers? does that cheer you up? | 00:00 |
| n6rej | any postfix experts on? | 00:00 |
| chalcedony | Boohbah: i like my giant desktop in Gnome ty | 00:00 |
| Boohbah | ok | 00:00 |
| prakriti | is there any way to set a prefered wireless network? | 00:00 |
| Devourer | Is there an application that can read .chm files? | 00:00 |
| bwayne | Boohbah: there's just something about being surrounded by all that stuff. | 00:00 |
| zcat[1] | StPatrick: yeah, wifi is a bit dodgy at times. using network manager (the default networking thing in gnome) ? | 00:00 |
| prakriti | I'd like to stay in roaming mode, but I would like my lappy to connect to my access point if availabe. | 00:01 |
| StPatrick | ive tried everything | 00:01 |
| StPatrick | i had it wokring in Mandriva.... | 00:01 |
| StPatrick | just fine | 00:01 |
| === Charitwo_ is now known as Charitwo | ||
| n6rej | can anyone help me get my mail working properly with postfix? | 00:01 |
| StPatrick | i guess i'll switch back to that. | 00:01 |
| Zelta | StPatrick: Use whatever works :) | 00:01 |
| invalidsyntax | can you restore ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| StPatrick | Zelta, It took me WEEKS to get it to work in Mandriva | 00:01 |
| sam827 | « /msg ubotu etiquette » | 00:02 |
| n6rej | prakriti: in windblows you can use the wifi manager to select a preferred ap, I would expect the same behavior with *nix | 00:02 |
| dmsuperman | invalidsyntax: insert disk, run install :P | 00:02 |
| invalidsyntax | .lol | 00:02 |
| StPatrick | Zelta, Took me 15 minutes to get it to recognize here | 00:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StPatrick, Perhaps you should look at buying wifi hardware that has/supplies driver support in linux | 00:02 |
| Zelta | yeah, you can get something that works perfectly for ~$20... I'm not saying you should go out and pay money just to get ubuntu to work, but it IS a foolproof solution | 00:03 |
| Dr_Link | I have installed Timidity++, why can't I play MIDIs with programs such as KMid? | 00:03 |
| Dr_Link | Sound is set up correctly | 00:03 |
| b4l74z4r | is it possible to remove the networking icon in the upper right corner? | 00:04 |
| zcat[1] | Jack_Sparrow: I have three different cards, two of them very well supported.. gutsy just launches everything at the same time and as near as I can tell, hdclient times out and goes to sleep before iwconfig has finished bringing up the connection properly | 00:04 |
| zcat[1] | *dhclient | 00:04 |
| Iburnaga | Huh, is ther ea command for the command line that would allow me to brute force install 8.04 on my main hard drive? | 00:04 |
| Dr_Link | Oh, waitk. | 00:04 |
| Dr_Link | Sound isn't playing correctly. | 00:04 |
| Iburnaga | As a smaller partition? | 00:04 |
| zcat[1] | so I think it's actually a failing in gutsy .. it's worse with some cards than others.. | 00:04 |
| warriorforgod | Is there any way I can blacklist an update? | 00:04 |
| CK_MY | why my screen resolution suddenly change to 640 x 480 ? i cant set back to 1024 x 768 any help? | 00:05 |
| dmsuperman | guys, how can i make it so double clicking in the collection in amarok starts playing the song? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Link | That's odd... when I'm in the sound dialog, it plays the test sound correctly... | 00:05 |
| Dr_Link | and I've disabled the motherboard's sound... | 00:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StPatrick, three hours of my time fighting unsupported hardware or $20 for supported hardware that will work out of the box... Tough choice Even my bcm43xx broadcoms have worked fine with no issues.. | 00:06 |
| Dr_Link | so it routes into the Sound card... why isn't the sound playing in any media player? | 00:06 |
| zcat[1] | network manager should configure wifi, wait untill it's associated with the AP, then start asking for an address | 00:06 |
| CK_MY | why my screen resolution suddenly change to 640 x 480 ? i cant set back to 1024 x 768 any help? | 00:06 |
| MountainD00d | Easy Question: How does one say Ubuntu? "Oooh-boon-two"? "Ooh-bun-two"? | 00:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CK_MY, did you try to install a propietary driver off the web/ | 00:07 |
| zcat[1] | perhaps it's my AP that takes too long to negotiate, I don't know... all I know is it takes four or five tries to get a connection up. SOmething is busted | 00:07 |
| bwayne | MountainD00d: the first way. | 00:07 |
| Dr_Link | MountainD00d, the first one. | 00:07 |
| Dr_Link | heh, I used to pronounce it "You Bun Two" | 00:07 |
| CK_MY | Jack_Sparrow, i din install any driver after restart it auto become 640 x 480 | 00:07 |
| bwayne | you have to purse the lips to say it correctly. ooboontoo | 00:08 |
| Dr_Link | Could I get an answer to my question please? | 00:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CK_MY, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res. Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults | 00:08 |
| zcat[1] | ooh boon two ? | 00:08 |
| wobbiebobbie | I just want to say THANKS to the guys who help me get my system started last night. I was able to get my files i need although I had to format and reinstall ubuntu. | 00:08 |
| ph34r | lol i thought it was uebunto | 00:08 |
| Dr_Link | Ah finally it's working now! | 00:08 |
| kindofabuzz | where are my ssl certs stored? | 00:09 |
| Iburnaga | What is gurb error 22 anyhow? | 00:09 |
| Iburnaga | Is it an error of boot order or what? | 00:09 |
| Iburnaga | Oh wow I feel dumb, I forgot to check the guide on the thing. | 00:10 |
| romme | is pcmanfm the only tabbed file manager for linux? | 00:10 |
| Odd-rationale | romme: konqueror | 00:11 |
| thunc | front | 00:11 |
| romme | oops, forgot about konqueror. i'm using it right now. so, pcmanfm and konqueror are the only ones? | 00:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | romme, Have you ever looked at Thunar? | 00:12 |
| warriorforgod | Is there any way I can blacklist an update? | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | Jack_Sparrow: no tab browsing | 00:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ah | 00:12 |
| dmsuperman | to mount a folder to another folder, what do i put in my fstab? | 00:12 |
| romme | Jack_Sparrow: i've actually used it and spoken to the developers, which assured me that tabs will never be implemented | 00:12 |
| romme | s/which/whom/ | 00:12 |
| kusanagi_ | how do i know my current Tcl/Tk version? | 00:13 |
| romme | s/whom/who | 00:13 |
| dmsuperman | i've got /media/sdb2/other-folder /home/me/blah ext3 defaults 0 0 | 00:13 |
| bwayne | Iburnaga: it appears it's a case of the kernel seeing your drives differently than grub. check for error 22 here -> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-122656-highlight-grub+error+22.html?sid=cd5ef5d307973da1ceed5a50f8f4c415 | 00:13 |
| n6rej | . | 00:13 |
| Odd-rationale | romme: those are the only 2 i can think of atm | 00:13 |
| kusanagi_ | how do i know the current version of some package i have installed? or how do i know if i have it installed? thanks | 00:14 |
| bwayne | Iburnaga: for instance, when you installed grub, it thought that your second drive was the primary drive. try reversing the boot order in your BIOS. | 00:14 |
| Odd-rationale | kusanagi_: open synaptic | 00:15 |
| Iburnaga | Thank you sir. I've found the gurb hand book though, online. n.n Hopefully this will solve my problems if now...well...I could always wipe everything and start a new bu I'd need a new copy of windows. | 00:15 |
| dmsuperman | nobody knows how to mount a folder to another folder? | 00:15 |
| bwayne | dmsuperman: easy as pie. | 00:15 |
| kusanagi_ | hey thanks alot odd | 00:15 |
| kusanagi_ | im super noob :( | 00:15 |
| Odd-rationale | kusanagi_: np. that was an easy one. :) | 00:15 |
| comicinker | Help, my help-browser is driving me crazy: starting takes a very long time, it uses all my cpu sources and displays nothing. if I try to close it, a new, empty help browser window opens immidiatelly. what's wrong? how can I repair it? | 00:15 |
| dmsuperman | bwayne: "/media/sdb2/folder /home/me/newfolder ext3 defaults 0 0" doesn't do it, it complains it's not a block device | 00:16 |
| prakriti | dmsuperman : mount -o bind /sourcefolder /destinationfolder | 00:16 |
| dmsuperman | prakriti: i wanted to put it in fstab for automatic mounting | 00:16 |
| BritGuy | Please could someone take a look at the routing table i posted on pastebin.com, is this normal I'm confused? | 00:16 |
| prakriti | uhm | 00:17 |
| prakriti | hrm | 00:17 |
| bwayne | dmsuperman: hmm ... my fstab looks similar. but I put it under "user" instead of "defaults". | 00:17 |
| daves111 | can't seem to find gdebi to execute | 00:17 |

| TwinX | dmsuperman; mount folder to folder? why not A Link? | 00:18 |
| daves111 | is GDebi executable? | 00:19 |
| TwinX | or just mount sdb2 to newfolder | 00:19 |
| dmsuperman | TwinX: mounting a folder from another hard drive to my firefox profiles folder | 00:19 |
| dmsuperman | TwinX: What's a link? | 00:19 |
| bwayne | daves111: GDebi is a program for install .deb files, yes. | 00:19 |
| gilster32 | @ubuntu+1 | 00:19 |
| TwinX | Link = shortcut | 00:19 |
| daves111 | i can't seem to find it | 00:20 |
| daves111 | it says it is installed | 00:20 |
| TwinX | daves rightclick on the .deb and say open with gdebi | 00:20 |
| dmsuperman | TwinX: Like a windows shortcut? because that won't work :P | 00:20 |
| Iburnaga | Ok...I don't have grub installed on either hard disk... | 00:20 |
| TwinX | daves111; ^^ | 00:20 |
| Iburnaga | How in the crap. | 00:20 |

| FloodBot1 | BritGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:20 |
| tdoggette | IndyGunFreak: When I apt-get install, it has a few Recommended and Suggested packages. | 00:21 |
| dmsuperman | TwinX: I wanted it so /home/me/blah was actually just pointing to /media/sdb2/somefolder | 00:21 |
| BritGuy | Is this normal? | 00:21 |
| bwayne | MountainD00d: not out of the box. but you can install any package you'd like after you install the server edition. | 00:21 |
| daves111 | it isn't listed with the open with | 00:21 |
| pharoh | my kate won't show the terminal at the bottom...anyone know why? | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | tdoggette: it will install them automatically | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | far as i know. | 00:21 |
| tdoggette | IndyGunFreak: I want to install all of them along with the dependencies. | 00:21 |
| MountainD00d | bwayne: Thank you | 00:21 |
| Odd-rationale | :) | 00:21 |
| kitche | BritGuy: looks pretty normal to me | 00:21 |
| tdoggette | IndyGunFreak: No, the ones that will be installed are listed, and they include the dependencies, not the others. | 00:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | tdoggette: try searching for them in Synaptic | 00:22 |
| TwinX | dmsuperman; go to /media/sdb2/somefolder rightclick on somefolder and click make link, and cut and paste that link anywhere u like | 00:22 |
| kitche | tdoggette: man apt-get actually tells you what switch you need to use to install recommended ones as well | 00:22 |
| Odd-rationale | tdoggette: aptitude will install all recommneded packages but not suggested packages | 00:22 |
| tdoggette | Thanks, guys. | 00:22 |
| BritGuy | Network works fine under Windows, under linux the correct driver is loaded, DHCP for some unknown reason re-fuses to work, changed to manual IP address and DNS, still doesn't work, checked routing tables, these are correct, what have i missed?? | 00:22 |
| dmsuperman | TwinX: then where I paste the link, it will point to /media/sdb2/somefolder? changes to files inside it will redirect to the proper folder? | 00:22 |
| bwayne | dmsuperman: something like 'link -s /home/me/blah /media/sdb2/somefolder' ought to create a symbolic link from blah to somefolder. | 00:23 |
| TwinX | dmsuperman; yes | 00:23 |
| dmsuperman | schweet :D | 00:23 |
| TwinX | bwayne's method is faster | 00:23 |
| TwinX | :) | 00:23 |
| prakriti | the only time I use bind is when I'm binding my WoW config directory for linux over the one for windows on the vfat drive | 00:23 |
| Boohbah | vfat... *shiver* | 00:24 |

| Saardox | hello, how do I uninstall a splash screen? | 00:25 |
| TwinX | BritGuy; nameserver maybe | 00:25 |
| daves111 | to update office, someone said to download and open with GDebi; I don't seem to have an option to do that | 00:26 |
| bwayne | dmsuperman: hmmm ... maybe because your drive is mounted under /media. | 00:26 |
| BritGuy | What should nameserver be set to? | 00:26 |
| peppe | hallo an alle | 00:26 |
| thunc | TwinX: That is the problem... | 00:26 |
| TwinX | aha | 00:26 |
| dmsuperman | bwayne: perhaps, but doing it through gui worked | 00:26 |
| bwayne | dmsuperman: silly linux. :-) | 00:27 |
| dmsuperman | lol | 00:27 |
| BritGuy | Please someone tell me what nameserver should be in the routing tables, I want to kill it!! lol | 00:27 |

| BobSlob | Which is making mythtv look like junk | 00:35 |

| Fishscene | I'm trying to setup an Ubuntu 7 server with LTSP. I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall as a guide, but "sudo ltsp-build-client" failed because I wasn't connected to the internet | 00:35 |
| aschmack | hold on its a long question | 00:35 |
| aschmack | and no | 00:36 |
| Swish | I'm trying to set net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_buckets in /etc/sysctl.conf, and when I reboot, that setting is not taking effect. 6.06.2 LTS (server) | 00:36 |
| Fishscene | When I connected my machine to the internet | 00:36 |
| Swish | other settings in sysctl.conf do get set after reboot just fine... like net.core.somaxconn and others | 00:36 |
| Farnaby | bobslob, you need to edit your xorg11.conf file from the sounds of it | 00:36 |
| Fishscene | it says that "/opt/ltsp/i386" already exists and must be removed | 00:36 |
| bwayne | bye Ubuntu'ers. love ya | 00:36 |
| woodwizzle | :( still 2 monitors | 00:37 |
| J-Unit | were do i download the thing here http://nancib.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/upgrade-the-calendar-display-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ | 00:37 |
| woodwizzle | and now no composite | 00:37 |
| BobSlob | Farnaby: I'm not sure howto properly do that... but its weird cause if I set the res to 720p the screen is "zoomed" and doesnt fit the tv properly | 00:37 |
| Swish | heck even net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range gets set fine in sysctl.conf! | 00:37 |
| aschmack | one runs mythbuntu and the other runs ubuntu. i've had the mythbuntu server up for a while and recently updated it with the update manager. now on the other machine i just installed mythtv. on the mythbuntu server i have some 2008 version and on the new machine i have a 2007 version even the sources.list's on both machines are the same. i even added the mythbuntu repo to the new machine back they still arent the same version. h | 00:37 |
| aschmack | elp? bwayne | 00:37 |
| Swish | just not the ip_conntrack stuff | 00:37 |

| J-Unit | can sum1 help me make my calendar thing in gutsy be like hardy plz bcuz my gf is in spain and i want spains clock thing as well as my area's | 00:40 |
| woodwizzle | gaucho: there is a program called checkinstall that automates the making of debs in replacement of make install | 00:40 |
| Flannel | aschmack: If both sources.lists are the same, you shouldn't have different versions (unless you haven't updated one since changing the sources) | 00:40 |
| kakoonia_ | i need some help with installing a LCD screen as a default screen and making my laptop screen as secondary.. any1 got a clue of how to? | 00:40 |
| legend2440 | J-Unit: click on the word package in the first paragraph. but you have to log in or register to log on to the ubuntu the forum | 00:40 |
| gaucho | Kaja, cool. But What I need to do makeinstall build my package like a backport? If I just run checkinstall -D it will create a package that will fail to install because will try to write on my original alsa package | 00:40 |

| legend2440 | J-Unit: where it says Ubuntu Studio has put together a %C9package to make it easy for people testing Gutsy to try it out | 00:43 |
| J-Unit | legend2440, o u saw the link | 00:43 |
| TwinX | kakoonia_; I also got 2 screens, nvidia-settings will do the job | 00:43 |
| legend2440 | J-Unit: yes | 00:43 |
| J-Unit | legend2440, cuz i had given the link a long time ago thats y i was confused | 00:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Farnaby: i honestly don't remember. | 00:43 |
| angel | soyou know where can i find this files | 00:43 |
| Farnaby | sudo dpkg-reconfigure acpi-support && sudo dpkg-reconfigure acpid is what I am currently trying | 00:44 |
| Farnaby | Not sure if it will work | 00:44 |
| fade_ | does anyone know how to get joysticks axises to work? | 00:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | kakoonia_: just remember if you want to save your settings to xorg(so you don't have to modify it everytime you restart), run gksudo nvidia-settings and then "save to x file" | 00:44 |
| Farnaby | and nope... curses | 00:44 |
| knoxville | #sandbox | 00:44 |
| kakoonia_ | IndyGunFreak : Aha... yes.. i was just trying to save it to xorg.conf, but it wrote me a msg that he was unable to make a backup-file or something like that.. is it what you were talking about? | 00:45 |
| fade_ | cause I tried looking through the forums but I got nothing :( | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | kakoonia_: yes, run gksudo nvidia-settings that will start nvidia-settings w/ root priv., and allow you to save to Xorg | 00:45 |
| kakoonia_ | Sweeet! | 00:46 |
| kakoonia_ | ;) | 00:46 |
| Swish | I guess I can add a script to /etc/init.d/ to do a sysctl -p after all other things are loaded | 00:46 |
| nukeslion | I would like to say that ubuntu has finally installed smoothly for me without any strange errors or things not working <3 woot | 00:46 |
| J-Unit | legend2440, do i have to run that command or can i simply double click the .deb? | 00:46 |
| Swish | WHAT! | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | J-Unit, When messing with .deb files - its best to use the command line. | 00:47 |
| Swish | error: "Operation not permitted" setting key "net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_buckets"!!! | 00:47 |
| * Swish gasps, shocked! | 00:47 | |
| _Lucretia_ | does anyone else have problems with flash sites on 64-bit? I mean, where there is multiple flash "movies" attempting to play at the same time? i.e. it doesn't work and all flash (seems to) crash | 00:47 |
| _Lucretia_ | ? | 00:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Swish: uh, sudo? | 00:47 |
| Swish | I -am- sudoed! | 00:47 |
| Farnaby | and solved.... though apparently I was the fool who did it to myself ;) | 00:48 |
| Farnaby | Time to restart. Thanks | 00:48 |
| J-Unit | Dr_willis, wats so bad bout the gui way? | 00:48 |
| Swish | and if I do: sysctl net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_buckets=16384 that fails too.. hmm | 00:48 |
| Swish | perhaps I have to do this another way! | 00:49 |
| Eped | anyone around to help me with a certain issue? | 00:49 |
| Swish | well I guess I found the issue :) | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | J-Unit, its best to learn the shell and do it from the shell. | 00:49 |
| scott__ | is there s way to get to x windows from a comm and line | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | J-Unit, lack of feedback in any error messages is one issue. | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | scott__, 'startx' | 00:49 |
| Swish | net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max can be set no problem | 00:50 |
| J-Unit | Dr_Link, so its just "sudo dpkg -i nameoffile.deb" ? | 00:50 |
| Swish | it's just the darned buckets. | 00:50 |
| Eped | anyone ever run into a problem where their hard drives weren't detected when attempting to install 7.1? | 00:50 |
| scott__ | thank you | 00:50 |
| Dr_Link | huh? | 00:50 |
| J-Unit | Dr_willis, so its just "sudo dpkg -i nameoffile.deb"? | 00:50 |
| Dr_Link | Oh, you mean Dr_willis. | 00:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Eped: its been known to happen | 00:50 |
| J-Unit | Dr_Link, sry wrong person | 00:50 |
| J-Unit | Dr_Link, ya | 00:50 |
| * _Lucretia_ takes that as a no then | 00:50 | |
| Dr_willis | J-Unit, yes. | 00:50 |
| Dr_Link | no prob. | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 00:50 |
| Eped | well, i've tried restarting several times, no solution | 00:50 |
| Eped | and I get a series of errors when I start it up as well | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | restarting isn't going to fix it, | 00:51 |
| J-Unit | Dr_willis, , k, thx | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Eped: yhour'e talking about from the live CD,correct? | 00:51 |
| Eped | yes | 00:51 |
| cerowain | _Lucretia_, I have similar problems with flash under 64 bit. | 00:51 |
| _Lucretia_ | thank god for that...it's relaly annoying | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Eped: it sounds like its not picking up your IDE controller | 00:51 |
| Eped | as soon as I get to the partition menu, nothing comes up, it's just blank | 00:51 |
| Eped | weird? my hard drives are fine on vista and xp | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Eped: well, 1. linux isn't vista or XP. | 00:52 |
| DIL | sata ? | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Eped: and notice what i said, i said it doesn't recognize your controllers.. | 00:52 |
| timo1teo | so quick question...when i try to enable the 3D accelerator in unresricted drivers it says cannot enable fix broken packages | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | doesnj't mean they dont' work | 00:52 |
| Eped | why wouldn't it recognize my controllers then? | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Eped: could be any number of reasons, to new, stuff like that, driver support is written into the kernel, because developers don't make linux drivers for them | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | so if its really new, it may not work. | 00:53 |
| Eped | actually | 00:53 |
| Eped | it's from around 2006 | 00:54 |
| DIL | Eped, if it is a sata drive i have seen where there are some probs | 00:54 |
| J-Unit | Dr_willis, i installed it, how come my calendar thing is the same, do i need to restart? | 00:54 |
| theunixgeek | What's the Dell Ubuntu support phone number? | 00:54 |
| Eped | I did have ubuntu 6.06 a while ago | 00:54 |
| timo1teo | o quick question...when i try to enable the 3D accelerator in unresricted drivers it says cannot enable fix broken packages | 00:54 |
| Swish | anyone who's using a > 6.06.2 ubuntu version feel like checking out this sysctl issue? | 00:54 |
| Eped | sata drive? hmm may be it | 00:54 |
| Flannel | Eped: Did you upgrade straight to Hardy? | 00:54 |
| theunixgeek | !dell | 00:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dell - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:54 |
| * Swish is curious if it's fixed in non-dapper | 00:54 | |
| kom7 | a | 00:54 |
| Eped | no, Flannel | 00:55 |
| nickrud | timo1teo in a terminal, type sudo apt-get -f install (-f means fix) | 00:55 |
| Eped | I have 2 HDDs but they're not running on SATA, it's weird because I tried to reinstall 6.06 from CD | 00:55 |
| Flannel | Swish: Just to be pedantic, you have 6.06, the point releases are ISO only. Yes, I know lsb_release says point releases, but that's just silly. | 00:55 |
| timo1teo | thank you nick | 00:55 |
| Eped | and it recognized both my HDDs, but when I insert my 7.10 CD | 00:55 |
| Swish | Flannel, heh! | 00:55 |
| Eped | blank now | 00:55 |
| nickrud | timo1teo *may* fix it, if it's a simple issue | 00:55 |
| DIL | !pendantic | 00:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pendantic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:55 |
| Dr_willis | J-Unit, i have no idea what you mean by calander thing, or what you installed. | 00:55 |
| DIL | new word for me | 00:56 |
| Flannel | Swish: But, I'm running dapper as well, so I can't actually offer assistance after being anal. | 00:56 |
| Swish | haha | 00:56 |
| J-Unit | Dr_willis, http://nancib.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/upgrade-the-calendar-display-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ | 00:56 |
| Swish | I guess some day I'll install VMs for all the other server releases | 00:56 |
| Swish | then I can check for myself :) | 00:56 |
| * nickrud thinks flannel just likes being associated with something that's 'dapper' | 00:56 | |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 00:56 |
| Eped | clueless as to what to do.. should probably check my BIOs | 00:56 |
| Swish | nickrud, you could have teased Flannel even more and s/dapper/anal | 00:57 |
| dmsuperman | guys, how can i install a .package file? | 00:57 |
| nickrud | Swish I try to stay G - rated here ;) | 00:57 |
| Swish | ahh yes! | 00:57 |
| Swish | I think I saw something about that in the /topic once :) | 00:57 |
| timo1teo | so its still not fixed.....so how do i find out what i should do? im trying to get my ati mobility radeon x1400 go work | 00:58 |
| legend2440 | J-Unit: after you install intlclock you have to right click on top panel and select Add to Panel then add intl clock from Miscellaneous | 00:58 |

| randoman | hey guys, how would you answer this question? "in terms of file sharing, how is Windows different from Linux?"? | 00:58 |
| thunc | randoman: isntall_device not specified. i think it needs /dev/sda or something | 00:58 |
| ianliu_88 | This is not a Ubuntu specific question.. but I wonder if someone can answer.. How do I use the "Modeline" plugin for GEdit? | 00:58 |
| randoman | ? | 00:59 |
| nickrud | timo1teo put the complete output from that command on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | randoman, windows and linux both support the 'network neighborhood' stuff.. what sort of an aswer are you expecting? Linux has othe rways to share 'files' as well | 00:59 |
| Flannel | randoman: Ubuntu *can* use samba (the windows file sharing protocol) but there are better methods (NFS) for non-windows networks. | 00:59 |
| DIL | homework? | 00:59 |
| kakoonia_ | yo.. i got my lcd running now.. but my laptop screen is plain ubuntu, wihout all my stuff on, like a new user logged in, (no gnome) | 00:59 |
| randoman | idk its for a coverletter for ajob | 00:59 |
| randoman | In the cover letter, please include an answer to the question "in | 00:59 |
| randoman | terms of file sharing, how is Windows different from Linux?". (Feel | 00:59 |
| randoman | free replace "Linux" with Solaris, MacOS or any other common OS that | 00:59 |
| randoman | you are familiar with). The answer should be brief - approx. 10 lines. | 00:59 |
| FloodBot1 | randoman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:59 |
| randoman | they wanted me to answer this | 01:00 |
| kakoonia_ | someone got any ideas? | 01:00 |
| J-Unit | ok so in the preferences of the new clock, wat do i fill things in with, like wat is the time zone in spain? | 01:00 |
| Nemes | Does anybody know what could be the reason I can't see sftp logged in users with "w" (as root)? | 01:00 |
| DIL | i will apply to that job as i have the answer | 01:00 |
| J-Unit | legend2440, ok so in the preferences of the new clock, wat do i fill things in with, like wat is the time zone in spain? | 01:00 |

| randoman | for sure, the only thing I could come up with was, its open source. which doesnt require a license for every computer its on | 01:02 |
| === roygbiv is now known as Nemes | ||

| kakoonia_ | btw, whats xinerama in nvidia-settings? | 01:04 |
| tonyb486 | Can I force wubi to run with 254mb ram, its reporting it wrong or something. (Wubi says it needs 256mb ram) | 01:05 |
| === Nemes is now known as roygbiv | ||
| Dr_willis | kakoonia_, twinview supercedes xinerama, normally you want ximerama off. | 01:05 |

| IndyGunFreak | Iburnaga: grub goes in the MBR of a hard drive | 01:08 |
| tylerflick | is rm -rf/ the delete command? | 01:08 |
| Flannel | tylerflick: You don't want to do that. | 01:08 |
| lewench | Is there an easier way to mount shared network folders in ubuntu than using smbmount //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword?? | 01:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | that would be very bad | 01:09 |
| Iburnaga | Yeah but using setup it requires it to have the base files for it. XD | 01:09 |
| Iburnaga | Or so says the setup command does install work differently? | 01:09 |
| === danny is now known as dannyobrien | ||

| lewench | Is there an easier way to mount shared network folders in ubuntu than using smbmount //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword?? | 01:09 |
| Flannel | tylerflick: rm is ReMove | 01:10 |
| sjovan | lewench: yes, indeed. | 01:10 |
| J-Unit | legend2440, k, thx, im gona go eat then sleep now | 01:10 |
| DIL | randoman | 01:10 |
| Flannel | tylerflick: rf is recursive and force, which is sometimes a bad idea, especially if done on important directories. | 01:10 |
| tylerflick | Flannel: So it would be like rm ~/.unison? | 01:10 |
| lewench | sjovan, How!! I use the "Connect to server" but its not mounted on ubuntu, so Amarok can't read the music. | 01:10 |
| tylerflick | Flannel: would that delete the .unison file? | 01:10 |
| Flannel | tylerflick: If thats a file, yes. If its a folder, rm -rf /home/username/.unison/ | 01:10 |
| tylerflick | Flannel: I believe it's a file extension | 01:11 |
| sjovan | lewench: you could put things in system ---> administration ---> shared folders to share stuff | 01:11 |
| Flannel | tylerflick: and since its in your homedir, you don't need sudo. Which is an added bonus in case of typo (or an errant space) | 01:11 |
| smokeh | join #divx-funny | 01:11 |

| Dr_willis | FFEMTcJ, you mean the linux box cant see the windows machines? or windows machine cant see ubuntu machine? | 01:23 |
| jappdev | gligorhoria: if you want to burn in your sever, one way to peg the processor is to use the 'yes' command, it will keep it busy for awhile | 01:23 |
| FFEMTcJ | Dr_willis: linux>winodws | 01:23 |
| amenado | FFEMTcJ-> define what you meant by access to windows? ping? telnet? | 01:24 |
| gligorhoria | ty, 1 more question, the system kinda freezed and i think the ext3 jurnal was damadged, it won't boot, the hard is new... | 01:24 |
| FFEMTcJ | amenado: the files on the HD.. | 01:24 |
| omar | beryl compiz 3d command activé sur debian | 01:24 |
| gligorhoria | jappdev thank you | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | FFEMTcJ, theres several ways for linux to 'browse' or 'mount' the windows shares. first test is to try to ping the windows box from the linux box. | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | FFEMTcJ, kde and gnome both have theor own smb browser features. I tend to use the fusesmb tool however. | 01:24 |
| FFEMTcJ | Dr_willis: seems to work fine | 01:25 |
| gligorhoria | is there a way to fix hard bads beafore booting? | 01:25 |
| FFEMTcJ | pinging that is | 01:25 |
| gligorhoria | or with live cd, or do i need system rescue cd from thevfrench folks? | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | FFEMTcJ, its possible the windows firewall is in the way. The command line samba tools may give some info as to whats going on. check the samba-doc package for the using samba book, it has info on the command line samba tools. | 01:25 |
| ratshell | question could someone zip up there /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin folder and send upload it somewhere so i can download it I kind of messed mine up. | 01:25 |
| FFEMTcJ | Dr_willis: why would it be working on one ubuntu machine and not another though? | 01:26 |

| Dr_willis | FFEMTcJ, good question. thats why you may want to use the samba command line tools to let themn spit out any error messages. | 01:26 |
| myself234 | can not get 3D acceleration to work | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | FFEMTcJ, I had issues once. where i had the /etc/hosts file with the wrong ip#'s - that goofed me up for a day | 01:26 |
| ratshell | myself what kind of card you got? | 01:26 |

| gligorhoria | is there z special way to backup mysql or whar is the folder name? | 01:46 |

| dmsuperman | gligorhoria: aye, what he said, but for the quickest way. if you only have a single hard drive, where do you plan on backing it up with a dump? | 01:47 |
| jappdev | upp: are you using a 64bit computer? | 01:48 |
| amenado | Traveler0-> okay, your dsl/router has to port forward port 22 for ssh, i cant recall what port rdp uses.. | 01:48 |
| gligorhoria | dmsuperman dvd | 01:48 |
| Scunizi | Netham45, plug it in and "lspci" in a terminal.. might work | 01:48 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: Hmm... I did that and now it opens in VLC, but the video is scrambled now. Audio is fine, but no video. | 01:48 |
| timo1teo | how do i open up my xorg.conf file so i can edit compositories? | 01:48 |
| Traveler0 | is IP passthrough necessary if I have a HUB connected to the router? | 01:48 |
| Scunizi | timo1teo, compositories? | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | Creationist, no idea. :) i just normally drag/drop videos to whatever player i want. | 01:49 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: Same video problem when loading in Totem now too... apparently it just corrupted the entire file? | 01:49 |
| dmsuperman | gligorhoria: you're reinstalling? | 01:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | timo1teo, I gave you that answer awhile back as far as the editor.. I have no idea what compoistories are? | 01:49 |

| dmsuperman | gligorhoria: are you reinstalling? | 01:49 |
| gligorhoria | dmsuperman no just backing up | 01:49 |
| gligorhoria | dmsuperman my system is crashing often | 01:49 |
| upp | jappdev no i386 | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | Creationist, I doiubt if the video players altered the file at all. | 01:49 |
| Scunizi | timo1teo, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:49 |
| timo1teo | thank you | 01:50 |
| dmsuperman | gligorhoria: ah. either way works, i prefer just copying the folder because then i don't have to run any commands or do anything to restore it, other than paste it back | 01:50 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: Well it played perfectly JUST before I did what you suggested... so something much have changed. | 01:50 |
| Sam827 | wat fs should I use? | 01:50 |
| Traveler0 | i apologize....ok DSL bellsouth to router, router connected to 4 port HUB, 2 computers hooked to HUB, both set to DHCP.....IP passthrough (is this necessary?) | 01:50 |
| dmsuperman | gligorhoria: but you can run a dump as well. if you have anything like mysql administrator or phpmyadmin, most of those types of tools also have their own "export to sql statements" sort of options | 01:50 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: Hmm.... ALL my video files do that now. | 01:51 |
| Starnestommy | Sam827: ext3 is the most used one | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | Creationist, i recall some issues with nvidia cards and video playback ages ago. | 01:51 |
| jappdev | upp: i'm guessing you've done an 'apt-get update' recently, have you tried manually installing the packages it says it needs ('java-common','sun-java6-bin')? | 01:51 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: Ages ago, though lol | 01:51 |
| Sam827 | Starnestommy: wat benefits does it have | 01:51 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: And I haven't had any trouble until just now. | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dr_willis, ati will give jerky video if composite is enabled in the xorg | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | Creationist, sounds about like your problem. the issue was with Gutsy. and gutsy is now 6+ mo old. :) | 01:52 |
| Starnestommy | Sam827: it has journaling | 01:52 |
| mzuverink | where does gutsy mount palms? | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | Creationist, reboot, see if they work..if they suddently stop working.. well.. you have a nvidia card>? | 01:52 |

| dmsuperman | Jack_Sparrow: thanks :d | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 01:52 |
| amenado | Traveler0-> from an external point of view, you only have one machine at home, therefore your dsl/router has to forward the request to specific ip address and port inside your home. -- externally its harder for another host to distinguish between your two hosts | 01:53 |
| upp | jappdev no | 01:53 |
| Sam827 | Starnestommy: sry for my stupidity, I've had that on my Mac forever, what is that? | 01:53 |
| thecre80r | DCC SEND "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" 0 0 0 | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | Creationist, sounds identical to the issue i had on a few of my gutsy machines. | 01:53 |
| Sam827 | Starnestommy: journalling | 01:53 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: Well, the problem is that the video itself is just solid, colored lines... no movement at all. But the audio plays fine ... | 01:54 |
| Starnestommy | Sam827: it's a mechanism used in some file systems that logs changes made to a file system before changes are committed. | 01:54 |
| Creationist | Dr_willis: I do remember having this issue in the past, but I thought it was in Feisty.... either way, I haven't had the problem since installing Gutsy, I don't think. | 01:54 |

| ianliu_88 | What I do when my desktop freeze?? I am trying to run SketchUp, and it freezes my Ubuntu menu bars.. | 01:55 |
| Traveler0 | amenado: so than i will have to get the WAN address (public) before i leave for work and than connect to that? but how will thesystem know which computer is RDP and which is SSH? | 01:55 |
| amenado | Traveler0-> what I suggest is use your ubuntu as a router, daisy chained from your dsl/router. ie dsl/router --> ubuntu(router) --> hub -- then as many client as you can have | 01:55 |
| Davey | for some reason, as the same user, over sshfs and in vim in a terminal over ssh I can edit a file with vim, but not via sshfs - any ideas? :/ | 01:56 |
| === Sensiva is now known as Benalex | ||
| Traveler0 | HMMZ | 01:56 |
| amenado | Traveler0-> then you configure your ubuntu(as router) to forward request to windows or another client (can be windows or another ubuntu) | 01:56 |
| Traveler0 | will the way that it is setup right now work? | 01:57 |
| gligorhoria_ | sorry my connection got intterupted | 01:57 |
| amenado | Traveler0 per my suggestion, your ubuntu(router) will get your external ip address, you can ssh from work directly to your ubuntu(router) and if needed to get to windows, you configure your ubuntu to forward request to windows | 01:58 |

| Scunizi | pc-illiterate, and is that on a cd or are you trying to use the repositories or another way? | 02:07 |

| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u0 | ||
| eduardo | jappdev, what should i look for? | 02:12 |
| damaltor | zeno_: just mark the text with the mouse. open the other app, and press middle mouse key/mouse wheel/both mouse keys at same time. thats all | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | zeno_, middle click IN THE APP you want to PASTE into | 02:12 |

| damaltor | Pelo: well, i hoped you cold find anything a bit useful.. i dint find anything wich could be something with cards | 02:31 |
| damaltor | Pelo: will try. thanks so far | 02:32 |
| Pelo | damaltor, is it a card ? I thought you said it was built in the mobo ? | 02:32 |
| damaltor | Pelo: it is connected directly to the mobo, next to the connector there is the word "CARD" | 02:32 |
| jerthebear | eduardo: ok but that'll take some time again | 02:33 |
| jerthebear | eduardo: I am going to install x-chat on my other computer so I can talk while working on fixing it ok? | 02:33 |
| Pelo | damaltor, probably just short for card reader , damaltor do you have the mobo model ? look it up on the net, see what the maker has to say about it | 02:33 |
| eduardo | jerthebear: try that and then paste the error log here, and if im gone then someone else should be able to help | 02:33 |

| Dr_willis | gew1, there are framebuffer image viewing apps for the console. if thats what you are asking about | 02:35 |
| Pelo | gew1, probably not | 02:35 |
| dmsuperman | gewl: i spose if you use one of those image -> ascii converters you could...but why? | 02:35 |
| gew1 | dmsuperman: i was kinda serious , but now i am gona say yes its a joke | 02:35 |
| gew1 | Dr_willis: yes framebuffer | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | gew1, the console framebuffer makes it possible. | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | but the whole framebuffer stuff can be.. flakey :) | 02:36 |
| gew1 | so apt-get install framebuffer should do it | 02:36 |
| damaltor | Pelo: its a D1025 made by fujitsu/siemens | 02:36 |
| Orendafds | hey everyone | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | there are a few framebuffer browsers that can do it also | 02:36 |
| frank_b | do I need to open a port in firestarter (inbound policy, like for amule and nicotine) to upload a file to someone in here? | 02:36 |
| * Pelo thinks some ppl just over do it with the CLI stuff , gui isn't that bad | 02:36 | |
| Dr_willis | gew1, No... the framebuffer is a feature of the kernel.. not a program. | 02:36 |
| Pelo | damaltor, the mobo or the card reader ? | 02:36 |

| ubotu | eduardo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:46 |

| Pelo | eduardo, just get frostwire | 02:47 |

| stwange_ | eduardo, how's the leg? | 02:47 |
| stwange_ | you can use limewire for ubuntu | 02:47 |
| levander | Pelo: Have you tried it? Does it work as good for capturing streams as the Windows version does? | 02:47 |
| Pelo | eduardo, no , frostwire doesn'T come with spyware | 02:47 |
| eduardo | stwange_: yes | 02:47 |
| bazhang | eduardo: you mean something like amarok? | 02:48 |
| jerthebear2 | eduardo: because of my network not working, I can't apt-get | 02:48 |

| Pelo | levander, realplayer is a deasese, I only have it cause occasionnaly I can'T do without | 02:48 |
| jerthebear2 | eduardo: XD though I think it has to do with the HAL daemon | 02:48 |
| ropoy | hello everyone | 02:48 |
| eduardo | jerthebear2: have you tried to uninstall it and then reinstall? | 02:49 |
| levander | Pelo: Yeah, I probably won't bother. You know of a better program to capture streaming flash videos? | 02:49 |
| dmsuperman | On7H3MooN: whatever you just posted is probably malware or bad, or just plain dumb, hence his banning, and if it turns out i'm right you'll probably get +b soon enough | 02:49 |
| bazhang | On7H3MooN: this is the wrong place to post as well unless it is accompanied by a support question | 02:49 |

| ubotu | eduardo: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | depends on the speicic mp3 if its legal or not. :) | 02:51 |
| ropoy | pelo from 7.10 to 7.10 | 02:51 |
| ropoy | pelo from 7.04 to 7.10 | 02:51 |
| Pelo | ropoy, firstly you need the alternate cd or the dvd to do an upgrade like that, and I dont think that is the correct command line | 02:51 |
| eduardo | bazhang: snitch, lol | 02:51 |
| ncfi1013 | can anybody tell me what the problem might be when nero or k3b won't work right | 02:51 |
| Pelo | !upgrade > ropoy check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 02:51 |

| Pelo | dmsuperman, go and put the horizsync values back to what they were yesterday before we tried to fix your shifty monitor problem | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | dmsuperman, even while using the machine? or is it just sitting there? | 02:53 |
| eduardo | dmsuperman: check the Hz frecuency maybe you monitor doesnt support your actual frecuency | 02:53 |
| ncfi1013 | what's a dcop server | 02:53 |
| levander | dmsuperman: That sounds scary. I lost a monitor one time after it started acting up a little. The problem was the video card went bad and it started sending signals to the monitor that were screwing it up. | 02:53 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo: i made them what the back of the monitor says to put | 02:53 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_willis: it's on the machine i'm using right now | 02:53 |
| bazhang | ncfi1013: what errors are you getting precisely; please give some details--just saying it does not work will not suffice here | 02:54 |
| dmsuperman | levander: i doubt it, anything's possible but this monitor's not that old, and has been very solid | 02:54 |
| ropoy | eduardo: im using a cd | 02:54 |
| ropoy | Pelo: it doest seem to work | 02:54 |
| eduardo | ropoy: are you on live cd? | 02:54 |
| * eduardo will BRB | 02:54 | |
| ropoy | eduardo: i downloadaed the 7.10 cd | 02:54 |
| levander | dmsuperman: Yeah, but if the video card is mistreating the monitor... My video card was less than a year old when it started doing that to the monitor. I'm just saying you need to figure that flickering out. Could be bad. | 02:55 |
| Pelo | ropoy, are you using the live cd ? you can't upgrade from the live cd , you need the alternate install cd | 02:55 |
| dmsuperman | Pelo: you don't happen to keep logs do you? or is this channel logged? i don't have a clue what the values were initially | 02:56 |

| jerthebear2 | eduardo: no, it's still not working | 03:58 |

| pingu | bazhang: like just on ubuntu it works fine but the videos don't load sometimes | 03:58 |
| _Silhouette_ | eduardo: yes, pretty sure. I downloaded it off the website. | 03:59 |

| b4l74z4r | does gthumb have a configuration file i can edit so i can zoom images with the mouse wheel? | 04:04 |
| mindguru08 | why is your name gold? | 04:04 |
| nickrud | reya276 /dev/sdb5 /media/disk-5 ext3 defaults 0 1 , use that. And setting the permissions directly to the mount point while the disk is mounted does work | 04:04 |

| jerthebear2 | eduardo: anyhow it's interesting ot see what happens | 04:05 |
| _Silhouette_ | eduardo: it shows a loading screen, then turns into a pink desktop w/ a mouse cursor, nothing else | 04:06 |
| reya276 | nickrud: I know it works because I've done it before but for some reason it not right now, maybe because is hardy beta? but thanks, let me reboot and see what happens | 04:06 |

| eduardo | jerthebear2: lol yeah | 04:07 |
| dmsuperman | but ... is the folder name | 04:07 |

| Boohbah | Fezzler: perhaps your monitor doen't support 800x600, or it isn't listed in xorg.conf | 04:20 |
| spanther | ahmad wait i'll look | 04:20 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Open emerald theme menager and add your theme from there | 04:20 |

| Fezzler | Nope, but I don't do much with this PC. Recommend a test? | 04:20 |
| bazhang | !helpme | ahmad | 04:20 |
| * Antti !weather, !kernel, !sysinfo, !sms | 04:20 | |
| ubotu | ahmad: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 04:20 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Did you apply to use that theme in theme menager? | 04:21 |
| tuxus | Fezzler: what's in your xorg.conf? | 04:21 |

| mexican | amenado: yeah | 04:21 |
| bazhang | sonit pastebin sources.list please | 04:21 |
| nickrud | reya276 ok, first thing is hdd1 doesn't exist anymore. That's where the error about no such uuid/device comes from. Comment or delete line 8 | 04:21 |
| sonit | eduardo, I don't know the difference. | 04:21 |
| tuxus | Fezzler: check your xorg.conf against what the monitor actually can support and make sure you have the proper drivers for your graphics cardd | 04:22 |
| amenado | mexican-> how about this qmr_install_linux-s1.script ? | 04:22 |
| mexican | amenado them both, and got the okay | 04:22 |
| Fezzler | tuxux: One second. Please recommend Terminal command to read xorg.conf? | 04:22 |
| amenado | mexican you have a solaris? | 04:22 |
| spanther | ahmad, start kaffeine go settings -> configure dvb-t | 04:22 |
| dmsuperman | travisat, i know how to get my ip | 04:22 |
| eduardo | sonit: when it freezes do your keyboard lights flash? | 04:22 |
| mexican | amenado: what is solaris ? | 04:22 |
| travisat | dmsuperman: ah | 04:22 |
| dmsuperman | travisat, i just want a way to get a command to return _just_ my ip | 04:22 |
| mexican | amenado: prob a no | 04:22 |
| mexican | haha | 04:22 |
| Scunizi | Fezzler, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:22 |
| travisat | dmsuperman: that is the beauty of a static ip | 04:23 |
| reya276 | nickrud: you are sure that is not my ubuntu boot drive right? | 04:23 |
| hexoroid | is there an easy way to delete all files in one folder like in html folder i am currently in it | 04:23 |
| mexican | dmsuperman: are you having trouble sifting through the info? | 04:23 |
| linkinxp | ePax: how u save in Nano? | 04:23 |
| amenado | mexican you have to read the instructions..that script was for a solaris ..so maybe the steps are not for ubuntu ? | 04:23 |
| dmsuperman | travisat, i'm making a hotstring so when i type like ;ip; it will backspace to remove ;ip; and execute the command and type the output | 04:23 |
| tuxus | Fezzler: be careful - that recommendation will let you EDIT it - maybe first read it with 'cat' | 04:23 |
| luxet__ | just exit nano | 04:23 |
| dmsuperman | mexican, it can't have any extra output, only the ip | 04:23 |
| ahmad | I dont new stting any program for Tv card or dvb card in Ubuntu 7.10 my hardwere is TV CARD SAA7130 and DVB card is sky star 2 | 04:23 |

| mitch31122 | linuxp: ctrl-o | 04:23 |
| spanther | oh my god -.- | 04:24 |
| nickrud | reya276 no, uuid=ae...4be is your ubuntu root, you see where it lists / as the mount point? It's now known as sda1 by the way. | 04:24 |
| dmsuperman | how can i get the data from http://whatismyip.org/ | 04:24 |
| Scunizi | Fezzler, tuxus or just nano without the sudo will let you read it without editing priv. too. | 04:24 |
| dmsuperman | in command line | 04:24 |
| spanther | sorry i cant help ahmad........ | 04:24 |
| travisat | dmsuperman: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-check-you-external-ip-address-from-the-command-line.html | 04:24 |
| nickrud | reya276 let me do some more comparisons from your outptu | 04:24 |

| tawt | does anyone use ipod-linux? does anyone like it? | 04:24 |
| tuxus | Scuzini: treu | 04:24 |
| amenado | mexican just curious just type make man | 04:24 |
| tuxus | *true | 04:24 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Why do you need nano? Download theme and if its compressed .tar.gz then uncompress so that it get its extenstion .emerald then open emerald theme menager and add your theme and apply to use it. | 04:24 |
| spanther | ahmad, sorry but your english is bad | 04:24 |
| bazhang | sonit you posted your sources.list? please do so thanks | 04:24 |
| mexican | make: *** No rule to make target `man'. Stop. | 04:24 |
| travisat | dmsuperman: hmm doesn't seem to work | 04:24 |
| mexican | amenado: above ^ | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | tuxus, the other way.. (there's lots of them of course) is to install pastbinit | 04:25 |
| amenado | mexican-> what is above? | 04:25 |
| Sam827 | when I try to boot ubuntu it says something about please insert bootable media | 04:25 |
| mexican | amenado: make: *** No rule to make target `man'. Stop. | 04:25 |

| tawt | does anyone use ipod-linux? does anyone like it? | 04:25 |

| linkinxp | ePax: the instructions says to add a line to make emerald work | 04:26 |
| amenado | mexican which directory are you at? type pwd | 04:26 |
| dmsuperman | travisat, i think that's it, thanks :d | 04:26 |
| Fezzler | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62798/ | 04:26 |
| Sam827 | tuxus: no I already installed | 04:26 |
| sonit | eduardo no response in keyboard , as it was before freeze, it just stays that way | 04:26 |
| linkinxp | now the question its can i use Emerald and the beauty of compiz? together? | 04:26 |
| sonit | bazhang i posted to you privately | 04:26 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Hold on one sec | 04:26 |
| Fezzler | xorg.conf content | 04:26 |
| Scunizi | tuxus, if you've never used pastbinit the syntax allows pasting a file directly to pastbin and it returns a link. cat <file> | pastbinit -b http://pastbin.com | 04:26 |
| thunc | ePax: one of what? a smaw? idk | 04:26 |

| sonit | eduardo maybe if i upgrade to 8.04 i ll be ok :-) | 04:27 |
| jrib | travisat: with .org, you won't have the issue: wget -q -O - http://whatismyip.org | 04:27 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: just piping to pastebinit will yield a url as well | 04:27 |
| amenado | mexican wrong.. you are supposed to be at /usr/src/qmail/qmail-1.03 | 04:27 |
| travisat | jrib: ahh | 04:27 |
| reya276 | nickrud: thanks, U Rock! | 04:27 |
| dmsuperman | travisat, it doesn't matter | 04:27 |
| Alan_M | sonit, not suggested right now. | 04:27 |

| Scunizi | bazhang, cat <file> | pastbinit ? | 04:28 |
| amenado | mexican-> I am not a mind reader, so you have to be clear and specific. :) | 04:28 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Try to use vi or pico instead of nano. Sorry but im not so good with it. With pico you can save with ctrl +q and save or with vi you can save with :wq | 04:28 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit is enough for example | 04:28 |
| Sam827 | tuxus! | 04:28 |
| spanther | eduardo, how can you know? 8.04 isnt out yet :) | 04:28 |

| zeyar | plz, | 04:31 |
| bazhang | sonit sudo apt-get install pastebinit then the command you just listed with a pipe ( | ) to pastebinit; cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit ; then just paste the url here thanks | 04:31 |
| Fezzler | tuxus: so you think it is the LCD? | 04:31 |
| tuxus | Fezzler: I'd suggest use the ideal setting, most likely the highest res, and comment out all other mode lines for starters | 04:32 |
| mexican | amenado: am i doing something wrong>? i was gogoling some stuff and i read a forum that a guy said not all debian installs work for ubuntu | 04:32 |

| regeya | creationist: do a ps -ax | grep java | 04:33 |
| amenado | Sam827-> so do it, insert a bootable media | 04:33 |
| jojo4 | is Radeon 3450 512MB video card compatible with Ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Nice. So that was the problem. :D | 04:33 |
| bazhang | Sam827: disable the cd media as a repo source then try again after refreshing/reloading your sources | 04:33 |
| regeya | creationist: you may be able to kill frostwire by killing the java process running it | 04:33 |
| khakane | stupid xmins and remote X | 04:33 |
| ePax | !ati | jojo4 | 04:33 |
| ubotu | jojo4: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:33 |
| reya276 | nickrud: I have an external 500GB hard drive this won't affect accessing it right? meaning the cleanup on this fstab file | 04:33 |
| Alan_M | sam827, do you have a floppy disk in your drive? (going through every possible thing) | 04:33 |
| amenado | _Silhouette_-> trying liveCD or the alternate cd? | 04:33 |
| tuxus | jojo4: yes, but if I have a choice, I'd take nVidia any day over ATI;'s | 04:34 |
| _Silhouette_ | amenado: live CD | 04:34 |
| Sam827 | alan m no | 04:34 |
| === GPB is now known as LSG | ||
| linkinxp | ePax: jajajajja but when i close the console it goes back ajajajaajajaja | 04:34 |
| nickrud | reya276 no, if it's not listed in the fstab it will be automounted when you plug it in | 04:34 |
| regeya | Thanks to os x I have developed a healthy hatred of frostwire...if it's running when I log out it cancels logout every time. | 04:34 |
| Creationist | Starnestommy: Nope... but I'll try regeya's suggestion | 04:34 |
| _Silhouette_ | amenado: it's an older computer if it matters. | 04:34 |
| amenado | _Silhouette_-> what errors are you getting if any? maybe your system can not handle liveCD , you have to use alternate cd | 04:34 |
| jojo4 | why is NVidia better than Ati? | 04:34 |
| ePax | linkinxp: You might need to do --replace command with root. sudo -i and type it. | 04:34 |
| bwayne | is there an ubuntu studio room? | 04:35 |
| _Silhouette_ | amenado: no errors, just boots to a blank, pink screen after loading | 04:35 |
| bazhang | jojo4: better driver support at the moment | 04:35 |
| spanther | oh my god 8.04 goes black orange? ..... | 04:35 |
| amenado | _Silhouette_-> how old is old? what are the specs? did you read at ubuntu wiki for minimum requirements | 04:35 |
| sonit | bazhang http://paste.stgraber.org/2368 | 04:35 |
| jojo4 | O.K. | 04:35 |
| bazhang | bwayne aye; #ubuntustudio iirc | 04:35 |
| _Silhouette_ | amenado: around windows ME era | 04:35 |
| Creationist | regeya: That did it. But the ps -ax command gave syntax errors :) | 04:35 |
| linkinxp | ePax: what? lmao -i? | 04:35 |
| regeya | jojo4: there are a number of reasons, but what bazhang said...someday someone else will have the honor but right now it's nvidia | 04:35 |
| icesword | how to remove xorg and install again? | 04:35 |
| _Silhouette_ | but I think it meets min. specs | 04:35 |
| Alan_M | bwayne, #ubuntustudio | 04:35 |
| regeya | hehe creationist | 04:35 |
| thunc | regeya: this doesn't work with strings longer than 32 | 04:35 |
| bwayne | bazhang: i prefer colloquy | 04:35 |
| amenado | _Silhouette_-> i dont keep track of windows release dates..so dont know | 04:35 |
| spencer | when I use the update manager it causes my internet connection to die | 04:35 |
| regeya | Creationist: sorry, that should be ps ax | 04:35 |
| regeya | I do hang on to my deprecated behavior | 04:36 |
| _Silhouette_ | amenado: about 2000 | 04:36 |
| amenado | spencer-> how so? what exactly happens? | 04:36 |
| ePax | linkinxp: That will add root priviledges to your user account to execute command. Instead of su. | 04:36 |
| LSG | Does anyone remember where in the adv. settings is the option to have the windows separate from the cube on rotation with Compiz-Fusion? | 04:36 |
| icesword | how to remove xorg and install again? | 04:36 |
| linkinxp | ePax: i know sudo but it does the same | 04:36 |
| Intangir | hey im using wine. apparently the ubuntu packaged version of wine doesnt allow me to use jack audio? | 04:36 |
| tuxus | icesword: why would you want to? | 04:36 |
| Intangir | anynone know how to get around this | 04:36 |
| bazhang | sonit you have almost no sources; try removing the # marks from in front of most of those then reloading/refreshing and trying again | 04:36 |
| Sam827 | my ubuntu install will not boot. it just displays insert bootable media | 04:36 |
| amenado | _Silhouette_-> maybe your system can not handle liveCD , you have to use alternate cd | 04:36 |
| icesword | tuxus, my xorg.conf is broken | 04:36 |
| spencer | I open update manager tell it to install some updates it starts to download the first few files and just dies | 04:36 |
| tuxus | Sam827: what is your bios set to boot from? | 04:37 |
| spencer | the light on the card stays on | 04:37 |
| reya276 | nickrud: oh, again U Rock sir, thanks | 04:37 |
| ePax | linkinxp: Yes it does. I'm just use to do sudo -i. I think i was told that its kinda "safe" way. | 04:37 |
| _Silhouette_ | amenado: okay, I will try that. | 04:37 |
| spencer | and i already tried sudo apt-get update | 04:37 |
| _Silhouette_ | thanks. | 04:37 |
| bazhang | Sam827: you tried what I suggested yet? please pastebin your sources.list to see if that is the issue | 04:37 |
| spencer | and then when i did sudo apt-get upgrade that kills the internet connection too | 04:37 |
| nickrud | reya276 glad to help. Now: #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 :p | 04:37 |
| amenado | _Silhouette_-> you're welcome, come back again | 04:37 |
| prettyricky | Is ubuntu 8.04 out already?? | 04:37 |
| Sam827 | tuxus: I'm on a mac and I'm using refit. | 04:37 |
| bazhang | 14 days prettyricky | 04:38 |
| Starnestommy | prettyricky: not until the 24th | 04:38 |
| tuxus | icesword: then fix it: from a terminal, sudo dpkge-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:38 |
| Sam827 | wheels sources. list | 04:38 |
| prettyricky | oh cool cant wait@!!! | 04:38 |

| luxet__ | whats the channel for hardy guys? | 04:38 |
| regeya | yay 14 days until we all get to sort out various issues...bwahahaha | 04:38 |
| Starnestommy | luxet__: #ubuntu+1 | 04:38 |
| luxet__ | thank you | 04:38 |
| regeya | !ubuntu+1 | 04:38 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 04:38 |
| reya276 | nickrud: I know, I though it would be quicker to get an answer here as those guys are deep in bugs man, seriously | 04:38 |
| tuxus | sam827: dunno anything about refit | 04:38 |
| bazhang | prettyricky: neither can we; redirecting everyone to #ubuntu+1 is the main job here these days ;[ | 04:38 |
| icesword | tuxus, no doesn't work,it won't let me change resolution and refresh rate and configure graphic card and select drivers | 04:38 |
| linkinxp | ePax: i got it look at what they said in compiz fusion <Jupiter> linkinxp: emerald --replace & disown | 04:38 |
| tuxus | icesword: it will write a fresh xorg.conf file | 04:39 |
| LSG | Is Hardy gonna be LTS? | 04:39 |
| prettyricky | lol | 04:39 |
| bazhang | lsg yes | 04:39 |
| linkinxp | !lts | 04:39 |
| ubotu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 04:39 |
| tuxus | icesword: drivers come after that | 04:39 |
| LSG | bazhang: Sweet | 04:39 |
| Sam827 | tuxus: end goal is it will boot into watever OS is available | 04:39 |
| icesword | tuxus, no option to select that | 04:39 |
| tuxus | icesword: what do you mean? | 04:39 |
| prettyricky | would we be able to get it at ubuntu.com | 04:39 |
| bazhang | Sam827: until you do the steps we recommend then no real help possible | 04:40 |
| icesword | tuxus, no options to configure my graphic card and screen | 04:40 |
| tuxus | icesword: so when you do the command I suggested, what happens? | 04:40 |
| bazhang | prettyricky: yes after the release in 15 days | 04:40 |
| Sam827 | bazhang: wat steps? I may have missed them | 04:40 |
| Dr_Link | It's confusing making an Ubuntu liveusb | 04:40 |
| bazhang | Sam827: does your irc client have the scroll up function? | 04:41 |
| icesword | tuxus, a window pop up,ask me to select keboard and something else | 04:41 |
| prettyricky | cool, would it be wise to install ubuntu 8.04 by it self or can we dual boot 7.10 with it | 04:41 |
| tuxus | icesword, thats right, keep going | 04:41 |
| Sam827 | not past like 20 messages | 04:41 |
| symptom | anyone know if there are linux drivers for a xircom cwe1100 wireless card? | 04:41 |
| tuxus | icesword: you could start by accepting the defaults | 04:41 |
| tuxus | symptom: have you Googled? | 04:42 |
| bazhang | Sam827: have to step out, perhaps someone can help you to disable cd media from your sources list | 04:42 |
| icesword | tuxus, i tried that many times,no options for me to choose screen etc...didn't work | 04:42 |
| tuxus | icesword: hmmm | 04:42 |
| symptom | tuxus: yes | 04:42 |
| symptom | tuxus: nada | 04:42 |
| Alan_M | bazhang...i...nevermind they left. | 04:42 |
| bazhang | prettyricky: please dont ask me to redirect you ;] | 04:43 |
| bazhang | Alan_M: thanks! | 04:43 |
| Alan_M | sam827, im taking over from where bazhang left off :) | 04:43 |
| tuxus | icesword: it won't give you an option to select screen type "A" from manufacturer "so-and-so", but what DO you get? | 04:43 |
| Sam827 | bazgang: I'm back | 04:43 |
| Alan_M | im not quite sure what were doing but i know how to do at least this one step. :) | 04:43 |
| bazhang | bazgang? ;[ | 04:43 |
| icesword | tuxus, choose keyboard and something i don't remember | 04:43 |
| mzuverink | does anyone know where Gutsy puts the palm pilot, I looked in /dev/palm and such but no luck | 04:43 |
| Alan_M | haha poor baz :) | 04:44 |
| Sam827 | bazhang: can you repost the steps | 04:44 |
| Sam827 | plz | 04:44 |
| tuxus | mzuverink: you'll prolly have to make a symlink | 04:44 |
| Sam827 | sry bout autocorrect | 04:44 |
| Alan_M | sam827, what are we doing again? (refresh my memory as im taking over from where bazhang left off) | 04:44 |
| tuxus | mzuverink: google for "symlink linux palm" | 04:44 |
| chris062689 | If I'm using an EeePC, people are saying to put your /usr directery on a SDcard? | 04:44 |
| bazhang | really have to go this time sam827; sorry about that--not a tough problem to solve though | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | whoever suggested bluefish earlier, you own | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | bluefish ftw | 04:45 |
| Alan_M | baz, heh, thanks for giving me an easy one :P | 04:45 |
| mzuverink | tuxus, so just make an entry as /dev/palm, what do I link it to, I cant find what it is called now, dont I have to have something for the symlink to link too? | 04:45 |
| kadko | Hello how can i change my Icons by others? | 04:45 |
| izinucs | Alan_M, all he needs to do is comment out the cd rom in sources.list | 04:45 |
| Sam827 | Alan M: my ubunu install says insert bootable media wen I try to start it up | 04:46 |
| Alan_M | izinucs, ah, ok thank you for informing me :) | 04:46 |
| Alan_M | sam827, ok, lets do it this way, do you know what a terminal is? | 04:46 |
| Sam827 | yep | 04:46 |
| sonit | bazhang http://paste.stgraber.org/2369 , now updating. | 04:46 |
| LSG | kadko: Go to System-Preferences-Appearance, and then customize | 04:47 |
| Sam827 | alan m yep | 04:47 |
| Alan_M | sam827, open one up, and type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:47 |
| LSG | kadko: You can choose the icon scheme you want there | 04:47 |
| Shuggle | my laptop just powered down without notice. how can i find out what happened? | 04:47 |
| Sam827 | alan m ok | 04:47 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: ask it? | 04:47 |
| ahmad_ | plz i need satting prog Elisa for watch TV or DVB | 04:48 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: seriously: was it running on battery and batt went dead? | 04:48 |
| Shuggle | no, plugged in | 04:48 |
| Shuggle | connected, full charge too | 04:48 |
| rycole | does ubuntu use a modified ldconfig ? | 04:48 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: overheating? | 04:48 |
| kadko | LSG: But if i want to add icons who i downloaded? | 04:49 |
| Alan_M | Sam827, when the file opens up, find any reference to cd and put a # in front of it. | 04:49 |
| Shuggle | not that i can tell. i always arrange for the fans | 04:49 |
| LSG | kadko: If you want to use a custom set of icons, you need to copy them via console (you need permissions) to /usr/share/icons | 04:49 |
| Sam827 | h/I | 04:49 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: will it power back up? | 04:49 |
| Sam827 | h/o | 04:49 |
| LSG | kadko: Then they'll show up in the list at "Customize" where you went before | 04:49 |
| Shuggle | tuxus: yeah, i'm on it now | 04:49 |
| Alan_M | it should say something like "cd: something" Sam827 | 04:49 |
| clever | !grub | 04:49 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:49 |
| Shuggle | tuxus: it's like nothing happened | 04:50 |
| Alan_M | sam827 in the lines you need to comment out. | 04:50 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: I'd put my money on a hardware issue | 04:50 |
| linuxpoet | Just a note, the Novaltel USB EVDO sprint modem works perfectly with Ubuntu | 04:50 |
| Sam827 | alan m gksu command not | 04:50 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: or was the laptop sitting idle when it happened? | 04:50 |
| Sam827 | found | 04:50 |
| Shuggle | tuxus: i just got it replaced from the factory :( | 04:50 |
| kadko | LSG: Example I have my icons unpacked on my desktop i need to move to that librrary i need to put in the console sudo cp /home/kadko/Desktop/Icons to /usr/share/icons? | 04:51 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: send it back | 04:51 |
| Alan_M | sam827, ok, then try sudo gedit etc/apt/sources.list | 04:51 |
| LSG | kadko: That's right | 04:51 |
| Shuggle | tuxus: no, i was watching something on flash and instant messaging | 04:51 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: how about putting any Linux cd in it, boot from it, and run a mem test? those are nice 'n lengthy, and make the system work | 04:51 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: see what happens | 04:51 |
| Sam827 | gedit ain't there either | 04:52 |
| LSG | kadko: Once they're copied properly to /usr/share/icons, go back to where i first told you (close and open if you didn't close it) and you'll have the option to choose your custom icons | 04:52 |
| Alan_M | Sam827, your on Ubuntu? | 04:52 |
| Shuggle | tuxus: i've done that once already (i don't trust cheap ram). do you think that it would change anything, other than heating it up? | 04:52 |
| kadko | LSG: Tnx :D | 04:52 |
| Sam827 | no, as I said, it won't boot | 04:52 |
| LSG | kadko: No problem =) | 04:52 |
| mzuverink | tuxus, I read it and again I need to know the existing mount point which I cannot figure out, I have looked all over /dev | 04:52 |
| Sam827 | alan should I use the cd | 04:52 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: nope, mem-test won't affect hardware or software | 04:53 |
| Alan_M | sam827, i wasnt here for that i dont think.....uh.. | 04:53 |
| travisat | if anything I have had memtest fix a stick of memory | 04:53 |
| === subpar is now known as suubpar | ||
| Sam827 | ok | 04:53 |
| Shuggle | tuxus: i meant, would you think that my ram might have gone bad since the test | 04:53 |
| ahmad_ | not any user ubuntu any server help me and any web | 04:53 |
| tuxus | mzuverink: USB or Serial connection? | 04:53 |
| Alan_M | sam827, I hate to be rude and pass you off again, but can anybody else take over for sam827 thats been here the whole time? | 04:53 |
| tuxus | Shuggle: It could be. Any hardware can fail, however, mem-test would not have CAUSED it to become bad | 04:54 |
| mzuverink | tuxus, usb | 04:54 |
| Sam827 | alan wen start my comp choose my ubuntu all it shows is insert bootable media | 04:54 |
| Alan_M | Sam827, how old is this ubuntu installation? | 04:54 |
| tuxus | mzuverink: what palm software are you using? | 04:54 |
| khakane | there must not be a way to to XDMCP over NAT | 04:54 |

| Shuggle | tuxus: well, i guess i'll be gone for a bit. i'm really unhappy with hp laptops | 04:55 |
| Sam827 | ugh. ok | 04:55 |
| LSG | sam827: Did you burn it yourself or is it an original copy? | 04:55 |
| sonit | bazhang thank you for responding , go to sleep now | 04:55 |
| khakane | unless anyone knows how to make it work with iptables | 04:55 |
| Kamir[ISSF] | Little lost here. I want to use DeeVeeDee for DVDs but can not find anywhere to install it | 04:55 |
| Sam827 | burnt meself | 04:55 |
| ahmad_ | I wold prog watch Tv whith Tv card or DVB card | 04:55 |
| Alan_M | sam827, did you check the ISO before burning? Is the md5 checksum right? | 04:55 |
| LSG | sam827: Any chance something screwed up the burning process? | 04:56 |
| Ardin | ok, simple question. Is there a way to change the picture that shows when i boot up? | 04:56 |
| Alan_M | LSG, going for that right now :D | 04:56 |
| Sam827 | prolly not | 04:56 |
| Alan_M | Great minds think alike lsg :) | 04:56 |
| mzuverink | tuxus, I am not sure I just bout it, supposed to be the best one they make so probably the most current | 04:56 |
| LSG | Alan_M: Haha, that's what they say! =) | 04:56 |
| Sam827 | I'll check the md5 though | 04:56 |
| tuxus | Ardin: ... I assume you don't mean installing another distro is an option :) | 04:56 |
| Ardin | tuxus: no, i just want to make a custom one. the UbuntuStudio one is boring now | 04:57 |
| Alan_M | sam827, is there any chance that I could get you to try burning it again and maybe doing a md5 check on the ISO before burning it to a cd? | 04:57 |
| ahmad_ | hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 04:57 |
| Sam827 | sure | 04:57 |
| izinucs | Sam827, make sure you burn it SLOW.. 4x or so | 04:57 |
| Alan_M | sam827, and if the md5 is wrong, just re-download the iso image and check it again. | 04:57 |
| tuxus | mzuverink: I mean, you're on Ubuntu, correct? what palm package are you running? | 04:57 |
| ahmad_ | I neeeeeeed help plz | 04:57 |
| Alan_M | izinucs has a great point, ive screwed up MANY of installs because i was being speedy, burning WAY too fast :( | 04:58 |

| thedonvaughn | ahmad_: best bet is to a) Just ask your question and b) no annoying statements like 'helllloooo' or 'i neeeed heeeeelllppp' | 05:01 |
| Sam827 | might I mention the liveCD works | 05:01 |
| Alan_M | LSG, what do you mean "wont show up"? | 05:01 |

| Dr_Link | I'm umounting the mount point with all of my prepared files | 05:05 |
| travisat | sgtmattbaker: have you tried the 8.04 livecd? I have a 8800gts and it works just fine but yours is slightly newer then mine | 05:05 |
| LSG | Poor guy | 05:05 |
| Dr_Link | but apparently | 05:05 |
| router | is anybody using Acer 5920 with Ubuntu? Does it work out of the box? | 05:05 |
| izinucs | sgtmattbaker, how did you burn the dvd as an image or as a data file? | 05:05 |
| Alan_M | !enter | Dr_Link | 05:05 |
| ubotu | Dr_Link: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:05 |
| Dr_Link | umount /tmp/liveusb returns "device is busy" | 05:05 |

| amirman84 | is there an easy way to use wubi to install ubuntu 7.10? i want to practice getting my graphics card and my wirless to work before really installing | 05:09 |
| tommmied | oops, sorry guys didn't mean to flood. | 05:09 |
| XceII | I use restricted drivers for nvidia, why does it take 3-8 mins to boot on new install? | 05:09 |
| sgtmattbaker | izinucs: I burned it as an ISO. Ubuntu simply does not work with the 8800 | 05:10 |
| amirman84 | am i invisible? | 05:10 |
| Kovecses | gutsy 7.10 is cooooool | 05:10 |
| XceII | ya | 05:10 |
| Starnestommy | amirman84: no, we can see you | 05:10 |
| amirman84 | :) | 05:10 |
| nickrud | amirman84 yep | 05:10 |
| Boohbah | amirman84: i can't see you | 05:10 |
| amirman84 | haha | 05:10 |
| Alan_M | !patience | amirman84 | 05:10 |
| ubotu | amirman84: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:10 |
| Starnestommy | not in a literal sense, though | 05:10 |
| izinucs | sgtmattbaker, there are many here with that card working.. unfortunatly I don't have one.. just a 6600 do you get anything? like a terminal prompt? | 05:11 |
| amirman84 | sorry botman! | 05:11 |
| Alan_M | but...yes..your invisible to me.....as i wasnt aware of your presence when issuing that command :P | 05:11 |
| sgtmattbaker | izinucs: I get this crazy squashfs error. | 05:11 |
| sgtmattbaker | that repeats forever | 05:11 |
| Alan_M | hehe, only kidding, and i do take that warning back :) | 05:11 |
| sgtmattbaker | this happens with the 6.10 DVD as well | 05:11 |
| XceII | Alan_M: I use restricted drivers for nvidia, why does it take 3-8 mins to boot on new install? | 05:11 |
| amirman84 | i'm not peeved or anything, i know the people in here are volunteers i was genuinely curious because usually someone always replies | 05:11 |
| izinucs | sgtmattbaker, that is the file sys the live cd uses.. what speed did you burn at? | 05:12 |
| Alan_M | XceII, I have no idea..maybe someone else does though. | 05:12 |
| XceII | k | 05:12 |
| LSG | amirman84: If someone can help you, you'll get an answer =) | 05:12 |
| Alan_M | amirman84, lag might be an issue :) | 05:12 |
| ToddEDM | hey Alan_M ... its not for phones, "Ubuntu Mobile to target MIDs, not phones" ... just found that , thought you might wanna know | 05:12 |
| sgtmattbaker | izinucs: standard speed. as slow as possible I think | 05:12 |
| Alan_M | ToddEDM, oh, thank you! I would be misinforming people if i said that! Thank you for that correction! I definately owe you! :D | 05:12 |
| ToddEDM | lol | 05:13 |
| LSG | XceII: What's your system config.? | 05:13 |
| * Alan_M was skimming the page anyways :/ | 05:13 | |
| XceII | 7.10, asus with a gforce 7200 gs | 05:14 |
| nickrud | amirman84 not many people use wubi. You're probably not gonna have much luck finding someone up on it | 05:14 |
| LSG | XceII: What about processor and RAM? | 05:14 |
| thesyko | hi there guys | 05:14 |
| izinucs | sgtmattbaker, standard usually implies "auto" .. you should do 2 things.. check the mdsum5 of the download against what's posted on the download page and burn the iso again at the s.l.o.w.e.s.t. speed ... or just try one of the downloads for ubuntu or kubuntu.. not the dvd but the cd version.. the dvd just has all 3-4 of the versions on it. pick one to start .. you can always install the other desktops after.. | 05:15 |
| thesyko | i'm trying to get flash player to work on ubuntu 7.10 amd64 | 05:15 |
| thesyko | but it keeps saying | 05:15 |
| XceII | amd 4200+ dual core 2000 fsb + 1.5 gig ram, all new | 05:15 |
| tommmied | anyone have any idea my my GLX module wouldn't be loading correctly? | 05:15 |
| XceII | sorry 4600+\ | 05:15 |
| Kovecses420 | been a while since i used ubuntu | 05:15 |
| thesyko | ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the | 05:15 |
| thesyko | Adobe Flash Player installer. | 05:15 |
| LSG | XceII: Wow...that is weird. Shouldn't even take 1 min. to boot up. Why do you figure it's got something to do with the graphics drivers? | 05:15 |
| Kovecses420 | i am very impressed with this release | 05:15 |
| thesyko | any1 experienced this before? | 05:15 |
| XceII | cuz when i disable them it boots normally | 05:16 |
| nickrud | thesyko that's true. But, ubuntu has provided flashplugin-nonfree , it installs flash with a wrapper | 05:16 |
| izinucs | Kovecses420, 14 days to the newest .. latest.. and greatest.. Hardy! | 05:16 |
| thesyko | yeah i installed flashplugin-nonfree | 05:16 |
| XceII | its a pci 7200 gs btw | 05:16 |
| LSG | XceII: Good point. Well i'm afraid i have no idea what the problem might be. Sorry =( | 05:16 |
| Kovecses420 | izinucs: i thought that was still alpha? | 05:16 |
| thesyko | but my firefox still keeps asking me to download the plugin | 05:16 |
| nickrud | thesyko hardy? | 05:16 |
| izinucs | Kovecses420, nope.. beta and almost out. | 05:17 |
| thesyko | 7.10 | 05:17 |
| Kovecses420 | izinucs: wow | 05:17 |
| XceII | tx for trying tho LSG | 05:17 |
| sgtmattbaker | oh well. I kind of dont care about ubuntu enough now to deal with it | 05:17 |
| sgtmattbaker | later | 05:17 |
| nickrud | hm, thesyko are you using the firefox provided with ubuntu? | 05:17 |
| thesyko | yeah | 05:17 |
| Kovecses420 | izinucs: and to think i just installed this tonight...went co well compiz-fusion up in minutes...its been great | 05:17 |
| izinucs | Kovecses420, upgrading should be painless | 05:17 |
| nickrud | strange that. I was using 64bit, and that worked fine for me. | 05:17 |
| Kovecses420 | izinucs: good point | 05:18 |
| HendriXXX | hardy is working like a charm for me.. i installed it when it was alpha3 or something :D | 05:18 |
| thesyko | hmmm | 05:18 |
| Alan_M | Hardy discussion needs to move please :) | 05:18 |
| amirman84 | everything works except flash videos | 05:18 |
| LSG | XceII: Try asking again, maybe someone will have a clue as to what your problem may be. | 05:18 |

| XceII | ok | 05:18 |
| nickrud | thesyko do you have nspluginwrapper installed? That's the tool that is supposed to make it work | 05:18 |
| j3bennet | I've got a server (Ubuntu Server 7.10) that I want to connect to. My ISP blcocks running all servers. Can I relay commands to the box by having it connect somewhere else using an outbound connection instead of running an SSH server ?? | 05:19 |
| thesyko | maybe i need to restart it | 05:19 |
| XceII | maybe ill wait till tomorrow when more folks are here, thankx tho LSG. | 05:19 |
| nickrud | thesyko heh. Could be ;) | 05:19 |
| LSG | XceII: Alright, good luck! | 05:19 |
| n6rej | can anyone help me setup a user that can ftp into /var/www and upload files? | 05:19 |
| b4l74z4r | i wish gthumb would zoom images using the mouse wheel | 05:19 |
| eisenhower | can someone tell me why I keep getting this? make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 05:20 |
| LSG | b4l74z4r: That makes two of us.. | 05:20 |
| nickrud | eisenhower depends on the package. Have you tried ./configure ? | 05:20 |
| Kovecses420 | !donate | 05:21 |
| ubotu | To donate to Ubuntu, you can !participate or go to http://www.ubuntu.com/donations | 05:21 |
| b4l74z4r | LSG: i can't help but think that there's some configuration file that can be hacked for mouse wheel zoom | 05:21 |
| eisenhower | yea just did. i'm trying to install transmission | 05:21 |
| LSG | b4l74z4r: It can probably be done, but i have no idea how =( | 05:22 |
| nickrud | eisenhower did the configure finish successfully, or error out? | 05:22 |
| Alan_M | !participate > Alan_M | 05:22 |
| * nickrud thinks Alan_M already is | 05:22 | |
| Alan_M | nickrud, I am, just wanted to see the link ;) | 05:22 |
| Kovecses420 | !frostwire | 05:22 |
| ubotu | frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 05:22 |
| thesyko | guys wanna ask | 05:22 |
| eisenhower | nickrud: ohh okay. checking for OPENSSL... configure: error: Package requirements (openssl >= 0.9.4) were not met: | 05:23 |
| j3bennet | is frostwire any good ? | 05:23 |
| eisenhower | would the be a error out? | 05:23 |
| thesyko | is there any package that can help me removed unused files / oprhan packages | 05:23 |
| thesyko | or not used packages? | 05:23 |
| nickrud | eisenhower install libssl-dev | 05:23 |
| nickrud | thesyko debfoster , and apt-get autoremove removes unused libs | 05:23 |
| eisenhower | should i do it in the synaptic manager or terminal? | 05:23 |
| nickrud | eisenhower either, it's the same package | 05:24 |
| thesyko | debfoster | 05:24 |
| thesyko | can i use the add/remove applications to install it? | 05:24 |
| eisenhower | kk | 05:24 |
| nickrud | thesyko not sure, but for sure synaptic will show it (add remove doesn't show everything) | 05:24 |
| thesyko | ok | 05:24 |
| amirman84 | do any of you happen to use the broadcom wireless WLAN mini card that is standard on Dell Laptops, or have experience getting them to work? | 05:25 |
| Kovecses420 | cant type in a frostwire window? | 05:26 |
| Kovecses420 | any ideas | 05:26 |
| Adremelech | amirman84, use ndiswrapper or bcm43xx-fwcutter | 05:26 |
| nickrud | get rid of frostwire ;) | 05:26 |
| Kovecses420 | nickrud: prob not a bad idea | 05:26 |
| nickrud | Kovecses420 I do believe that gtk-gnutella does the same protocol | 05:27 |
| Kovecses420 | nickrud: its most likely much better now. gtk-gnutella was always horrible for me in the past | 05:27 |

| amirman84 | adremelech, i know a little about how ndiswrapper works but it seems pretty scary and like if a noob like me tried it i would break something, is bcm43xx_fwcutter more appropriate? | 05:28 |
| FloodBot1 | eisenhower: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:28 |
| eisenhower | whoa. shit sorry. | 05:28 |
| eisenhower | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62803/ | 05:29 |
| eisenhower | any idea why this wont make? | 05:29 |
| nickrud | eisenhower there's probably something that will be a clue in the output of the configure | 05:29 |
| amenado | eisenhower-> here is your clue No rule to make target `../third-party/miniupnp/libminiupnp.a', | 05:30 |
| Adremelech | amirman84, bmc43xx-fwcutter is like making a 4 course dinner next to ndiswrapper | 05:30 |
| nickrud | amenado ah, but what's the clue indicating why? | 05:30 |
| amenado | nickrud if he opens up his Makefile, the target is empty ? | 05:31 |
| eisenhower | ahh. i just installed buntu a week ago. lol there is no way i can figure this out by my self | 05:31 |
| nickrud | :) | 05:31 |
| nickrud | eisenhower by reading the source | 05:31 |
| eisenhower | ubuntu* , i'm trying to convert but that doest help ya know | 05:31 |
| amirman84 | adremelech, would ndiswrapper be a burger from wendy's? | 05:31 |
| Adremelech | amirman84, well, a little more effort, like a ham sandwitch | 05:31 |
| ant- | a square burger... | 05:31 |
| nickrud | eisenhower trying to compile apps in your first week is not the right path ... | 05:31 |
| ant- | blah | 05:32 |
| amenado | eisenhower-> diving in to compile c code with Makefiles is not that simple. | 05:32 |
| eisenhower | oh. blah | 05:32 |
| Kovecses420 | any cool new apps/games anyone could suggest? | 05:32 |
| ant- | back in my day, the first thing you had to do was compile the kernel | 05:32 |
| eisenhower | well transmission in the repositories is deprecated. | 05:32 |
| amenado | ant- yes and one has to do contortions to get it running <wink> | 05:33 |
| nickrud | eisenhower transmission isn't in gutsy repos ... | 05:33 |
| amirman84 | well, this is why wubi is good, it's like a sandbox for noobs like me to see if they can get their drivers to work, how can i get wubi to work with 7.10? or maybe i should just use ubuntu 8.04 since it comes out soon? | 05:33 |
| nickrud | eisenhower or wasn't, unless it's in backports | 05:33 |
| eisenhower | naw. it is | 05:33 |
| Cromag | amirman84: wubi comes with 8.04 afaik. | 05:33 |
| Kovecses420 | !wubi | 05:33 |
| ubotu | wubi is Wubi advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 and http://wubi-installer.org [file wubi bugs here: https://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug ] (it is included in hardy 8.04 beta CD and will be in the final release) | 05:33 |
| amirman84 | yeah, that's why i'm thinking it might be better | 05:33 |
| thunc | ubotu: did you submit your translation? | 05:33 |
| nickrud | eisenhower enable the gutsy-backports, it has 1.06 | 05:34 |
| Kovecses420 | !hardy | 05:34 |

| izinucs | thunc, while the rest of us are chuckeling.. realize the ubotu is a bot | 05:34 |
| eisenhower | nickrud: thats not in the synaptic manager is it? | 05:34 |
| Kovecses420 | they dont have a changelog? | 05:35 |
| nickrud | eisenhower system->admin->sources, look for the updates tab and enable the backports. Then it will be | 05:35 |
| eisenhower | ty | 05:35 |
| Kovecses420 | i need to roll a joint | 05:35 |
| Kovecses420 | sorry that was way off topic | 05:36 |
| nickrud | eisenhower packages.ubuntu.com lets you search for what's available in the repos, sometimes newer stuff is found in the -backports repo | 05:36 |
| amirman84 | can i ask a few stupid questions? | 05:36 |
| shinoj | yes, but only stupid | 05:37 |
| nickrud | amirman84 there are no stupid questions, just stupid helpers ;) | 05:37 |
| izinucs | !ask | amirman84 | 05:37 |
| ubotu | amirman84: 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. :-) | 05:37 |
| amirman84 | is enabling the backports dangerous? i know they're not supported but is it really very risky to install backported apps? | 05:37 |
| nickrud | amirman84 in general they are very high quality, otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed in | 05:38 |
| dolags32128 | hey room | 05:38 |

| dolags32128 | thx | 05:39 |
| nickrud | amirman84 developing or wanting the bleeding edge stuff. or learning | 05:39 |

| amirman84 | flannel: i think i need to compile stuff to get my wireless card to work | 05:43 |
| kindofabuzz | nickrud, ok how can i set it to an actual user name? chown? | 05:43 |
| nickrud | kindofabuzz yes, sudo chown <user>:<usergroup> /path/to/dir (user and usergroup are nearly always the same text) | 05:43 |
| amirman84 | the only guide i found for my card talks about compiling stuff, it never mentioned using ndiswrapper or anything | 05:44 |
| breakz | anyone?? know of a backport of this? the fawn had this module | 05:44 |
| kindofabuzz | nickrud, one more question, if that folder is a mount folder form a hd, can it still be chowned? | 05:44 |
| nickrud | kindofabuzz yes, if the partition is mounted when you make the change it will survive reboots | 05:44 |

| migster | i setup RAID1 on Ubuntu 8.04, but I know that there is a bug - when I unplug one drive, the boot times out - I can't boot up from just one RAID drive. What do you think is the best approach - just wait until the bug is fixed and the "apt-get upgrade" the problem? | 05:45 |

| nickrud | kindofabuzz usually it would be nameofuser:nameofuser , unless you have more specific requirements | 05:46 |
| nickrud | lnxnwbe change default , counting os's starting with 0 | 05:47 |
| kindofabuzz | nickrud, would that include the subdirs? | 05:47 |
| nickrud | eisenhower still transmission? | 05:47 |
| kindofabuzz | like the folder i wanna chown is /ftp | 05:47 |
| kindofabuzz | but it has subs | 05:47 |
| nickrud | kindofabuzz no, chown -R will recursively change all below that | 05:47 |

| nickrud | CorbinFox not sure, but possibly. Like I said the hda-intel is not an easy chip to get right | 06:14 |
| amirman84 | nickrud: thanks, in that command you wrote... "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/my-lines" is "my-lines" the name of the file created? and is "nano" a command that says "create this file here" | 06:15 |
| amirman84 | corbinfox: the same guy that wrote that fix said you may have to upgrade Alsa | 06:15 |

| CloudFX | amirman84: I can't say i really like amarok | 06:28 |

| unop | itai, sure, in that case, you'll be better of adding an entry in /etc/fstab .. if the windows machine isnt up when ubuntu loads, the share will not be mounted and you will need to run "sudo mount -a" to mount it again when windows starts | 07:01 |
| StPatrick | [Hardy]TuTUXG, In a certain folder. | 07:01 |

| bwayne | StPatrick: that's maybe a Konqueror specific shortcut (at least opening "in that path"). I'm sure someone's created a metacity script that can do the same. | 07:07 |
| unop | effinboy, ssh into the machine, start the vncserver and then you should be able to connect to it | 07:07 |

It sees the cd, I select install and it comes up with the loading screen and then just.. Black :O Any ideas? | 07:25 |
| shachaf | phoenix24: Into what? | 07:26 |
| unop | shachaf, all these are equivalent on GNU cp . cp -a, cp -ar, cp -rdp .. -aR comes out of habit for me from using cp on different systems like the BSDs where -a doesn't necessarily mean -dpR | 07:26 |

| eax | Damion: Great, I might have got a solution from Effinboy though :) I looks like it's working so far :D | 07:31 |
| awmcclain | Sysadmin question: Is /usr/local/src an appropriate place to install the source for the webapp that I'm deploying? | 07:31 |
| Damion | <effinboy> at the install menu eax hit f6 and type "noapic irqpoll noirqdebug" <-- will this also work for me? | 07:31 |
| Ademan | b4l74z4r: what application? i don't really think so though, if it was tearing while standing still that could be vsync, but when you're moving it, that's just what happens with your card and driver | 07:31 |
| * delphian :D | 07:32 | |
| effinboy | Damion, are you just trying to install on a dv9000 series? | 07:32 |
| Damion | uh | 07:32 |
| Damion | I'm trying to install on an older x86 | 07:32 |
| Damion | desktop | 07:32 |
| Damion | amd duron processor | 07:32 |
| b4l74z4r | Ademan: any application window does it and i also get tearing in fullscreen youtube but not in fullscreen vids played in totem | 07:32 |
| effinboy | i dunno then... might try it. it helps with AMD processors | 07:32 |
| unop | awmcclain, you can put it where you like really, just as long as you know where to locate it when you need it later, but yea, it's a _standard_ location for the job | 07:33 |
| awmcclain | unop: Just looking out for standards. Perfect! Thank you. | 07:33 |
| effinboy | eax ... this is where i solved most of my problems, and dont let the author discourage you from trying 7.10 on it, it works fine for me... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512059 | 07:34 |
| Ademan | b4l74z4r: totem uses 'xv' which is equivalent tech to 'overlay windows' in windows xp, i suppose youtube must not use it. unfortunately i don't know what to tell you, it could be a driver bug, in which case you could try in #ati or #nvidia depending on what you have, i believe there's a #intel as well | 07:34 |
| b4l74z4r | Ademan: ok, thanks | 07:34 |
| mne | Hi guys. I need help with an NFS problem. I have a working NFS server running on gutsy. And I have another host (also running on gutsy) where I want to mount the NFS shares. While this works just fine on other machines, the gutsy client gives the following error: "mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'nfsserver' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered". portmapper is running, host.allow contains the same entry as on the working hosts | 07:34 |

| arno-t | Hi all, in nautilus when I do "make link" on a directory and then mark the link and press delete, the link is not deleted, but the target! Is this by design or by bug? If you "rm" a symbolic link, the link goes away, not the target...? | 07:36 |

| ds_ | Gutsy | 07:40 |
| hikejinx | shallabal316: what is the problem? | 07:40 |
| shallabal316 | this is part of the output when i run apt-get install avant-window-navigator | 07:41 |
| Crshman | hello all, i'm trying to move all the avi file in a directory and all it's subdirectories into one singular directory.....what's wrong with this command? | 07:41 |

| effinboy | try hitting f6 at the main install screen and then type "noapic irqpoll noirqdebug" ds_ | 07:41 |
| bwayne | bullgard4: it means roughly "to make more exact and/or precise". | 07:42 |
| bullgard4 | bwayne: Ah, ok. Thank you for explaining. | 07:42 |
| bwayne | bullgard4: for example, to focus on only the bull's eye of a dart-board would be "to zero in" on the dart-board as a whole. | 07:42 |
| ds_ | Anyone | 07:43 |
| hikejinx | shallabal316: how are you installing? Do you have gutsy? And you need to be using something like compiz I think. | 07:43 |
| ds_ | anybody have any ideas? | 07:43 |
| bwayne | bullgard4: you'll find that some English idioms may lack perfect definitions. | 07:43 |
| shallabal316 | yes, im using compiz fusion | 07:43 |
| adhi | teu ngarti | 07:43 |
| hikejinx | shallabal316: gutsy? | 07:43 |

| bwayne | bullgard4: kind of like "it is making heat" (literally) in Spanish is the idiom for "it's hot outside". | 07:44 |
| hikejinx | Do you have all of your sources enabled? Are you installing from synaptic? | 07:44 |
| shallabal316 | just thru terminal | 07:44 |
| bwayne | a localized flavor of Spanish, at least. there are so many spanish dialects. | 07:44 |
| ds_ | Why won't my computer boot fresh CD | 07:44 |
| bullgard4 | bwayne: A practical language needs also not-so precise words or phrases in addition to other very precise words. | 07:45 |
| dodol_medan | hi, how do i detect my modem? | 07:45 |
| unop | benanzo, try this on one machine . cat file | nc -l -p 9999 .. and try this from another machine. nc otherhost 9999 # you really ought to see the contents of 'file' on the output there | 07:45 |
| effinboy | ds_ can you get to the main install screen? | 07:45 |
| hikejinx | Have you tried a deb, maybe from getdeb? | 07:45 |
| ds_ | Yes | 07:45 |
| ds_ | Then I press enter and it I/O error | 07:45 |
| ds_ | disc read error | 07:45 |
| Starnestommy | ds_: have you tried the alternate cd? | 07:45 |
| bwayne | bullgard4: i agree. it's those idioms that really make the "heart" of a language. those phrases which are least translatable to other tongues is what really makes a vernacular of a language. | 07:45 |
| ds_ | What's the different | 07:45 |
| ds_ | difference | 07:45 |
| shallabal316 | no i havent tried that yet | 07:46 |
| benanzo | unop: OK thanks I will try | 07:46 |
| dodol_medan | hi, how do i detect my modem? | 07:46 |
| Starnestommy | ds_: the alternate cd is install-only and often works when the regular ones fail | 07:46 |
| hikejinx | maybe try that and there might be a channel for avant window navigator too | 07:46 |
| bwayne | so some imprecision is good, in order to relate the "sense" or "emotion" of a phrase. | 07:46 |
| shallabal316 | yea | 07:46 |
| shallabal316 | i think theres something wrong with my repositories | 07:46 |
| unop | benanzo, how that might be useful is to copy files across the network, so you can do something like. nc otherhost 9999 > /path/to/new_file | 07:47 |
| ScriptDevil | the beta installer gets stalled after the partitioner gets loaded. That is even the partition screen doesnt come up | 07:47 |
| benanzo | unop: That works -- I think I just had the options and syntax wrong. Thanks | 07:47 |
| warri | hello | 07:47 |
| shallabal316 | should i maybe try using a diff server than the main | 07:48 |
| hikejinx | shallabal316: did you install 3rd party ones. That could be it. #awn could help. | 07:48 |
| ScriptDevil | is the alternate installer too available in the live cd? | 07:48 |
| shallabal316 | aight thanks | 07:48 |
| Flannel | ScriptDevil: no | 07:48 |
| hikejinx | shallabal316: I'm not sure. If you have a repo issue you might never get it resolved. | 07:48 |
| alexmart | hello, how can I add a sudo command to startup ? | 07:48 |
| ScriptDevil | alexmart: why would you do that? | 07:49 |
| Flyerfye | ok my problem: | 07:49 |
| unop | benanzo, yea, it looks like you missed the -p option | 07:49 |
| unop | alexmart, you want to run a script as root? is that it? | 07:49 |
| waveshaper | is there a default pass for root after you install ubuntu/desktop version? | 07:50 |
| alexmart | I have a driver for a vodafone mobile connect card and it needs the sudo command to work | 07:50 |
| Starnestommy | waveshaper: there isn't one at all | 07:50 |
| waveshaper | ok. just empty | 07:50 |
| waveshaper | ? | 07:50 |
| Starnestommy | waveshaper: no, it's a locked account. | 07:50 |
| unop | alexmart, call your script from /etc/rc.local | 07:50 |
| Flyerfye | In the past Ive been able to run Warcraft III: TFT through Cedega and Wine with no problems, recently however, I was screwing around with xorg.conf to try and get my s-video to work and now whenever I try to play, regardless of wheter I actually have the cd, it doesnt read as having the cd | 07:50 |
| alexmart | so everytime i start up the computer i then have to open a terminal and go sudo vodafone-mobile-.... | 07:50 |
| alexmart | ok I'll have a look | 07:51 |
| waveshaper | ah. how can I/can I enable it? | 07:51 |
| Starnestommy | !root | 07:51 |
| 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 | 07:51 |
| waveshaper | ok tnx :) | 07:51 |
| effinboy | unop, isn't the /etc/rc.local script a root/admin script anyways? | 07:52 |
| unop | effinboy, yes, it is called by process 1 (init) which runs as root | 07:52 |
| effinboy | yeah, thought so. so alexmart just needs to add the command via a sudo gedit to that script. :D | 07:53 |
| unop | effinboy, thanks for putting in so many words something that i already asked him to do :) | 07:53 |
| alexmart | so i just type in the command before "exit 0" and leave everything intact ? | 07:53 |
| unop | alexmart, yes exactly | 07:54 |
| alexmart | everything else* | 07:54 |
| alexmart | ok thanks unop ! | 07:54 |

| HSorgYves | i want to setup TSIG for bind; I have the ARM in front, but they do not mention where to store the keys | 08:01 |
| bwayne | RedScare: you can edit the actual image for the quit button using GIMP. i'm not sure what file *exactly* you need to edit, but that's the "theory". | 08:01 |
| RedScare | I fixed my Vista partition, thank god, my battery life on gutsy is atrocious | 08:02 |
| ifireball | RedScare: you probably can, but it may involve coding and recompiling... | 08:02 |
| Lo_Pan | /var/cache/bind usually | 08:02 |
| Lo_Pan | tsig is awesome | 08:02 |
| RedScare | it can't be that complicated | 08:02 |

| RedScare | let me as you guys | 08:02 |

| millertime_018 | help please | 08:03 |
| RedScare | look, there is an application launcher for it... so what the is the terminal command to bring up the quit GUI? | 08:03 |
| RedScare | I could make a custom application launcher, use the same command then customize the icon to my will | 08:04 |
| bwayne | RedScare: well, GIMP is the Gnu Image Manipulation program, which is what (I think) gtk themes are created with. so, at least theoretically, you would be able to change not just the quit button but all the other buttons too. i've never done it ; that's the theory in a nutshell though. | 08:04 |
| EnvoyRising | does anyone know how to set video options in et:qw? is that missing from linux client or something? | 08:04 |
| ifireball | RedScare: well you can start by looking for the icons it uses in your /usr/share directory and replacing them, maybe you can even find the .glade file and change it as well | 08:04 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: did you see what i wrote | 08:04 |

| EnvoyRising | Wobbo, not sure about ctrl, but there is autocompletion | 08:04 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: the only thing about tsig that i find is a pain in the arse, is that bind views where the one zone appears in multiple views tend to not work as you'd expect | 08:04 |

| HSorgYves | Lo_Pan: Now yes ;-) | 08:05 |
| ifireball | RedScare: when you say there is a launcher you mean you found the .desktop file for it? | 08:05 |
| jussi01 | millertime_018: ##windows | 08:05 |
| KalEl | the default way of handling right click is sticky... can i change that in preferences somewhere so that it requires two clicks instead? | 08:05 |
| EnvoyRising | ah, Madpilot is all over it. doesn't have to be 4 characters, just enough to identify the person without being ambiguous | 08:05 |
| HSorgYves | Lo_Pan: the keys need to be on both servers? | 08:05 |

| askvictor | I'm about to buy some new hardware for a new ubuntu desktop system (nothing too flash, won't be doing much in the way of video editting); any recommendations for CPU/GPU/RAM/MB ? | 08:05 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: when you submit the zone updates using nsupdate or whatever, you have to supply the key, yes | 08:06 |
| EnvoyRising | askvictor, unless drivers have improved over the last month, nvidia is a safer bet over ati | 08:06 |
| RedScare | well, here's the thing, Under Add to Panel I can add it under Desktop and Windows | 08:06 |
| bwayne | millertime_018: nah bro. you misunderstand. this channel isn't for installing windows. we might be able to assist here or there, but this isn't the room to "lead by the hand" in (at least, as far as any Microsoft product is concerned). | 08:06 |
| millertime_018 | i'm having a problem when it gets partway through the installation it tells me that i can't find my ata drive | 08:06 |
| askvictor | EnvoyRising: I'm contemplating intel over both of them | 08:06 |
| HSorgYves | Lo_Pan: thanks; will try and reask if I encounter a problem | 08:06 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: brb, must pee (too much beer) | 08:06 |
| millertime_018 | oh | 08:06 |
| RedScare | so in theory there should be a terminal command that brings up the same log off/switch user/shutdown prompt | 08:07 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: am always here, just pm me if i dont seem to be around | 08:07 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: leave email address if i dont reply before you go | 08:07 |
| millertime_018 | well i just kinda associated it with computer savvy | 08:07 |
| EnvoyRising | an intel graphics card? hmm...i guess you'd avoid proprietary drivers that way.. | 08:07 |
| HSorgYves | Lo_Pan: ok, tyvm | 08:07 |
| RedScare | if I can just create a custom launcher it would use some lame default icon and I could customize that | 08:07 |
| ifireball | RedScare: I'm not sure, it may be hardwired in the panel code | 08:07 |
| RedScare | hm | 08:07 |
| bwayne | RedScare: you're using gnome ?? | 08:08 |
| RedScare | yes | 08:08 |
| EnvoyRising | askvictor, as for te other things, i've not had any problem with anything i've thrown at linux. the big hardware issues i had were graphics card, sound drivers (not the card though), webcam, and wifi | 08:08 |

| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: no probs man | 08:08 |
| RedScare | why? | 08:08 |
| ifireball | RedScare: though I suppose the icons themselves are just .png or .svg files somewhere is your theme directory | 08:08 |

| RedScare | i think so too | 08:09 |
| StPatrick | Someone please save me. | 08:09 |
| EnvoyRising | alternatively, enable the hardy repos and install from that (should be called prerelease or something) | 08:09 |
| bwayne | RedScare: well it's easy enough to create an desktop icon that when double-clicked would run a shell command "sudo shutdown" but I'm not sure about bringing up the exact dialogue box you're referring to. | 08:09 |
| RedScare | but if there is a term command for the same window it would make it easier/safer | 08:09 |

| RedScare | yea, sudo shutdown arguements required | 08:10 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: And howdo I add the hardy repos | 08:10 |
| ifireball | RedScare: I suppose you should just grab a good image browser and start poking in /usr/share/themes/ | 08:10 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: I can not wait, building the server now | 08:10 |
| RedScare | shutdown -G or -U or something for the gui | 08:10 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: also dont forget to set the permissions on your keyfiles so that regular users cannot read them | 08:10 |
| EnvoyRising | wica_ give me a sec | 08:10 |
| Lo_Pan | HSorgYves: otherwise they can hijack your zones | 08:10 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: I will | 08:10 |
| bwayne | RedScare: those arguments (or 'flags') can be ran from the icon as well. any shell command can be programmed into a desktop icon you can click. | 08:11 |
| HSorgYves | Lo_Pan: sure | 08:11 |
| RedScare | yea, I know | 08:11 |
| RedScare | but they don't work | 08:11 |
| StPatrick | Ok, If i need to run the command : "./wlan0up" in the folder /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified every time Ubuntu starts, as root, how do I do it? | 08:11 |
| RedScare | they are invalid for the shutdown command | 08:11 |
| ifireball | RedScare: the terminal shutdown command is as old as UNIX, it doesn't have a GUI | 08:11 |
| RedScare | must be another command its running | 08:11 |
| EnvoyRising | wica_, ok, just open up synaptic, click settings > repositories, then navigate to the updates tab and select gusty proposed | 08:11 |
| RedScare | right, but doesn't mean you couldnt build one on top of it | 08:11 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: cli version ? | 08:12 |
| effinboy | Fatal server error: | 08:12 |
| effinboy | no screens found | 08:12 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: It is a server, so no X | 08:12 |
| hikejinx | RedScare: if you want to make a log out of x shortcut, you can use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 08:12 |
| ifireball | RedScare: not sure its running a single command at all, like I said, evidence shows that most stuff on the system menu is hard coded | 08:12 |
| jussi01 | RedScare: "sudo shutdown -h now" will shut down your machine. | 08:12 |
| effinboy | thats what im getting when I try to start manually via SSH | 08:12 |
| StPatrick | Ok, If i need to run the command : "./wlan0up" in the folder /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified every time Ubuntu starts, as root, how do I do it? | 08:12 |
| jussi01 | !repeat | StPatrick | 08:13 |
| ubotu | StPatrick: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 08:13 |
| ifireball | RedScare: having said that, there may be an XML file somewhere that describes the content of that menu | 08:13 |
| EnvoyRising | wica_, doh. i saw you write that, wasn't paying attention.. anyways, open up your etc/apt/sources.list | 08:13 |
| SuperLag | hmmm.... | 08:13 |
| StPatrick | !patience | 08:13 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:13 |
| wica_ | done | 08:13 |
| SuperLag | maybe I won't buy that iMac tomorrow | 08:13 |
| StPatrick | ahhh it all makes sense now. | 08:13 |
| RedScare | I'll be googling in the background | 08:13 |
| KalEl | i've installed xscrensaver which has its own power management tab, i hope it won't conflict with gnome-power-management? | 08:13 |
| SuperLag | Nehalem soon, I hear | 08:13 |
| effinboy | ./dance | 08:13 |
| Oprtz | i m using Intel 946GZ Express chipset 128mb vga, its working good, but when ubuntu starts it flickers a littlebit, do i need to update the driver for ubuntu? | 08:14 |
| EnvoyRising | wica_, then uncomment the appropriate lines.. i'm looking right now to tell you exactly which ones they are | 08:14 |
| lankke | Hey guys/gals, I am having trouble with my dual boot system. I have ubuntu on one drive, xp on the other and the setup was working perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago. I removed the linux hard drive so that I could perform a data recovery on a friend's broken windows hard drive. When I put the linux hard drive back in, ubuntu would freeze right after the grub bootloader | 08:14 |
| ifireball | RedScare: can you give a little more details about what you're trying to do? are you trying to change the look of the window itself or just the icon on the system menu? | 08:15 |
| RedScare | just the icon | 08:15 |
| RedScare | like you said, may be easy to just search for the icon | 08:15 |
| EnvoyRising | wica, i found it... going to put them in paste bin for yoiu | 08:16 |
| EnvoyRising | you* | 08:16 |
| StPatrick | Ok, If i need to run the command : "./wlan0up" in the folder /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified every time Ubuntu starts, as root, how do I do it? | 08:16 |
| RedScare | but now that I'm on it, I want to know if there is a term command to bring up the log off gui | 08:16 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: Thnx | 08:16 |
| bwayne | lankke: try booting into a livecd and restoring grub from there. | 08:16 |
| jussi01 | !autostart | StPatrick | 08:16 |
| ubotu | StPatrick: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 08:16 |
| jussi01 | !boot > StPatrick | 08:16 |
| andruu | is there a way to switch the command key to the control key on a mac keyboard? | 08:16 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: i think you could add that command to /etc/rc.local and it'll run whenever you login as that particular user. | 08:17 |
| RedScare | i think you simply go into Key Preferences under advanced andruu | 08:17 |
| EnvoyRising | wica_, http://pastebin.com/d3876611a | 08:17 |
| ifireball | RedScare: I see. if you want to do a real clean job at replacing the icon, copy the theme directory, thus creating your own custom theme, before replacing it | 08:17 |
| StPatrick | bwayne, Right, thank you, that's what im lookin for. | 08:17 |
| StPatrick | bwayne, any idea why when I open it, it's just a blank page? | 08:17 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: that's a generally Linux wide solution, not just Ubuntu-specific. | 08:18 |
| lankke | bwayne ... okay mate. You think it's a problem with grub then? | 08:18 |
| RedScare | oh yes, backups will be in order | 08:18 |
| EnvoyRising | wica_, then of course your usuall sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:18 |
| cosmoshell | hey guys, quick question. im setting up apt-build, and its asking for my architecture.. and im not sure what to select. what one would a Celeron be? | 08:18 |
| StPatrick | bwayne, but how would I add it? | 08:18 |
| wica_ | EnvoyRising: Yep, allready doing that. Thnx | 08:18 |
| bwayne | lankke: more than likely grub as it is installed is looking for a place that doesn't exist. re-installing grub may fix the issue. shutting off the drive in the BIOS and then turning it back on (boo sequence I mean) may resolve the issue as well. | 08:19 |
| jussi01 | cosmoshell: i386 | 08:19 |
| Flyerfye | hey guys | 08:19 |
| Flyerfye | is there a system restor function on ubuntu | 08:19 |
| Flyerfye | I want to restore to about a week ago | 08:19 |
| bwayne | lankke: GRUB errors are manifold. many points of failure. we'd have to get more specific to really trouble-shoot | 08:19 |
| StPatrick | bwayne, like, I have "/home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified ./wlan0up" on a line bedore exit 0, but it didnt work, did i do something wrong? | 08:19 |
| wica_ | Flyerfye: Nop, there is no function like that. | 08:20 |
| EnvoyRising | Flyerfye, yes, but not by default | 08:20 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: the addition that you make to /etc/rc.local should be the exact shell command you'd normally use. | 08:20 |
| EnvoyRising | Flyerfye, we can maybe help you get your stuff back to where it was a week ago though | 08:20 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: IIRC, lines in /etc/rc.local are ran as root so don't try sudo or anything. | 08:21 |
| lankke | bwayne: Well I get this weird msg if I turn off quiet boot... something like ata.01: Emask ... | 08:21 |
| cosmoshell | jussi01: know that. my options are pentium, pentium-mmx, pentium2, pentium3, pentium3m pentium-m, pentium4, presscott and nocana | 08:21 |
| StPatrick | bwayne, right! oh, lol i think sudo is what im missing.... cause other than that, i dunno why it would have not worked. | 08:21 |
| bwayne | lankke: that's greek to me, my friend. re-installing grub couldn't hurt though. | 08:21 |
| Flyerfye | Well my problem is that I was screwing with xorg to get my s-video working and now when I go to run cedega or some other games, they wont work the way they used to, basic games still work though | 08:21 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: naw man don't use sudo in the rc.local file. | 08:22 |
| unop | StPatrick, what are you trying to launch/execute from rc.local? | 08:22 |
| RedScare | brilliant! | 08:22 |
| lankke | haha okay mate | 08:22 |
| RedScare | ifireball | 08:22 |
| bwayne | unop: i think StPatrick has a custom script he's wanting to run. | 08:22 |
| ifireball | RedScare: here | 08:22 |
| RedScare | for future reference | 08:22 |
| EnvoyRising | correct me if i'm wrong guys, but doesn't xorg.conf come with a default backup | 08:22 |
| EnvoyRising | ? | 08:22 |
| unop | bwayne, yes, i was the one to recommend rc.local | 08:22 |
| EnvoyRising | or is that only when you do a reconfig? | 08:22 |
| RedScare | the terminal command it 'gnome-session-save --kill' | 08:22 |
| StPatrick | unop, I have to run ./wlan0up to turn on my wifi every time I boot. | 08:22 |
| unop | StPatrick, and what is the exact command you used in rc.local? | 08:23 |
| ifireball | RedScare: hmm... kind weird, so its hardwired into gnome-session... | 08:23 |
| noodles12 | i just installed kdenlive and was playing with it. and now noneo fmy sound works! | 08:23 |
| EnvoyRising | Flyerfye, if not, how much have you configed your vid card..one idea is to boot from cd, copy that config file to your harddrive, then reboot | 08:23 |
| bwayne | EnvoyRising: no. some custom tools will create a backup. dpkg-reconfigure will create backups in /etc/X11/ with timestamps in the filename. but if you edited xorg.conf with vim or something, no a backup isn't automatically created. | 08:23 |
| awmcclain | Packages.ubuntu.com is down? | 08:23 |
| RedScare | so adding a custom applet with the term command gnome-session-save --kill then making a custom icon would be an easy clean way of changing the icon | 08:23 |
| lankke | bwayne: the livecd is taking me to a shell like prompt (initramfs): and the same error is being displayed | 08:23 |
| zoidberg | hey guys...i have the mediplayer connectivity thing for firefox...and i have vlc open up and play some videos ....but can vlc remember the username and password for the site that i open the vidoes form ...i hate entering the username and password every single time for each video | 08:24 |
| EnvoyRising | bwayne, thats what i was afraid of. it's been so long since I've done a manual edit of xorg.conf, and even then i always made a point to back it up :P | 08:24 |
| === axel is now known as afrancois | ||
| bwayne | lankke: you mean, you're booting from a livecd and you're getting the exact error as if you were trying to boot from hard disk grub menu? | 08:24 |
| lankke | yeah | 08:24 |
| ifireball | RedScare: yeah, but it won't change the menu, also I think a custom theme will be more alone the lines of what the developers intended | 08:24 |
| unop | awmcclain, it seems to be .. you can always use 'apt-cache search blah' for packages and 'dpkg -S file' for files instead | 08:24 |
| bwayne | EnvoyRising: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will walk you through creating a new one and will create backups for you. | 08:24 |
| === olegb_ is now known as olegb | ||
| RedScare | oh of course ifirebal | 08:25 |
| Flyerfye | well I tried restoring the backup xorg file to no avail, a point of interest, one of the things I was doing created backups for me and now I have 33 coppies of xorg files | 08:25 |
| EnvoyRising | bwayne, i know. ergo why i haven't done a manual config of xorg in a while :P | 08:25 |
| Flyerfye | EnvoyRising: well I tried restoring the backup xorg file to no avail, a point of interest, one of the things I was doing created backups for me and now I have 33 coppies of xorg files | 08:25 |
| zoidberg | hey guys...i have the mediplayer connectivity thing for firefox...and i have vlc open up and play some videos ....but can vlc remember the username and password for the site that i open the vidoes form ...i hate entering the username and password every single time for each video | 08:25 |
| StPatrick | unop, /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified ./wlan0up | 08:26 |
| Flyerfye | EnvoyRising: and at one point I actually deleted the xorg so it defaulted and I could reconfigure the settings | 08:26 |
| bwayne | EnvoyRising: the main part is to get your driver right. dpkg-reconfigure will automatically select what it thinks is the best, but it seems that it won't autoselect closed source drivers (like 'nividia') for you. you have to select it when you're presented with the option on the appropriate screen. | 08:26 |
| Flyerfye | EnvoyRising: come to think of it, I havent restarted since restoring my xorg, that might help | 08:26 |
| awmcclain | Can anyone tell me about liblinux-aio-perl? | 08:26 |
| HSorgYves_ | Lo_Pan: where do i find the hash of the key? | 08:26 |
| EnvoyRising | oh wow... well maybe you can just do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 08:26 |
| ifireball | RedScare: the gnome system administrators guide installed on your desktop (just search in 'help') and on google includes some fine details about the way the menus work and how to customize then file-wise | 08:26 |
| unop | StPatrick, you need to use exact pathnames when calling stuff from scripts .. rc.local is looking for a file named /etc/wlan0up there. | 08:27 |
| awmcclain | (specifically, what's the difference between that and libio-aio-perl?) | 08:27 |
| awmcclain | (and is it even maintained anymore?) | 08:27 |
| EnvoyRising | bwayne, nvidia has a tool that will config xorg for you nvidia-settings i believe | 08:27 |
| bwayne | EnvoyRising: be sure to steer clear of third-party scripts/tool (like envy for nvidia) to install closed source drivers. | 08:27 |
| StPatrick | unop, I dont understand, what would i put then? | 08:27 |
| bwayne | i've found those only breed trouble. use ubuntu's build in features. | 08:27 |
| lankke | I don't understand why the live cd isn't working now | 08:27 |
| Flyerfye | EnvoyRising: brb, gonna try restarting | 08:28 |
| Nubae | when is hardy out? | 08:28 |
| lankke | busybox built-in shell | 08:28 |
| EnvoyRising | bwayne, only touched envy onces...was a nightmare.... nvidia-settings is from nvidia | 08:28 |
| bwayne | lankke: if you reply to me, be sure to put my name 'bwayne' in the text somewhere so i'll see it. | 08:28 |
| lankke | ok | 08:28 |
| lankke | bwayne: yeah so the live cd won't even work now | 08:28 |
| unop | awmcclain, different modules - see http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/IO-AIO-2.6/AIO.pm vs http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/Linux-AIO-1.9/AIO.pm | 08:29 |
| lankke | bwayne: i'm getting stuck at the same point | 08:29 |
| bwayne | lankke: does your BIOS 'hit' the cd drive? Does it attempt to read the drive and then fail? OR just it just hang there like some sort of mindless idiot? | 08:29 |
| unop | StPatrick, which directory does ./wlan0up exist in? | 08:29 |
| effinboy | man.... #xorg is dead and kinda useless for answers... anyone know where I can go? | 08:29 |
| StPatrick | /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified | 08:29 |
| StPatrick | unop, /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified | 08:30 |
| cosmoshell | could someone tell me what prossesor to use for apt-build. i have a celeron but all there seems to be listed are pentiums. | 08:30 |
| unop | StPatrick, so, the full filename for it is /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified/wlan0up | 08:30 |
| awmcclain | unop: And it looks like IO-AIO isn't an ubuntu package whereas liblinux-aio-perl is? | 08:30 |
| unop | StPatrick, and thats what you use | 08:30 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: you may have to type of the full path to the executable script in rc.local. like "/home/ryan/rtl8foo-modifield/nameofscript" in order to get it to work. | 08:31 |
| lankke | bwayne: well in the bios settings, the drive is detected properly, the problem comes just after the grub bootloader | 08:31 |
| StPatrick | unop, But I'm running a command. ./wlan0up | 08:31 |
| lankke | bwayne: it loads for a bit... then stops when it hits that message | 08:31 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: running ./wlan0up is different when ran as root and not a user. | 08:31 |
| unop | awmcclain, they are ubuntu packages of those particular perl modules .. looks like they both exist | 08:32 |
| StPatrick | bwayne, I know I need to run it as root. | 08:32 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: so you'll have to specify the FULL path to the executable. | 08:32 |
| richard | #ubuntu+1 | 08:32 |
| awmcclain | unop: Really?? I've tried searching for libio-aio-perl, doesn't seem to work! Please tell me I'm doing something stupid. | 08:32 |
| T-Rex5 | hi | 08:32 |
| T-Rex5 | i'm trying to set up my new SATA drives on this PCI sata raid card but it seems to be taking hours | 08:32 |
| unop | StPatrick, ./wlan0up is only valid when you issue the command when you are in the /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified directory .. if you change directory that command is invalid | 08:32 |
| T-Rex5 | is my motherboard faulty or is this normal? | 08:32 |
| T-Rex5 | its a 1terabyte drive and a 500gb drive | 08:32 |
| unop | StPatrick, so when you change directories you need to call the script via its full filename | 08:33 |
| StPatrick | unop, I know that....... that's why i asked what i would have to put in to run ./wlan0up in that directory. | 08:33 |
| lankke | bwayne: if I try booting the gui it gets stuck on the first notch on the loading bar but if i boot it in text mode, the error is repeated until eventually i end up at the weird shell prompt, happens with the livecd and with the hard drive | 08:33 |
| bwayne | StPatrick: so when you run your custom script from rc.local, it's ran as root in a "raw shell", so to speak. when you run ./yourscript in a terminal while logged in as a user, the shell you use (like bash) will auto-expand your command. | 08:33 |
| StPatrick | Ok, well, thanks. On a related note, Now that Ubuntu is recognizing my wifi card, any ideas why i cant seem to connect to any unsecured wifi? | 08:34 |
| unop | StPatrick, in rc.local, you should call it via .. /home/ryan/rtl8187b-modified/wlan0up | 08:34 |
| StPatrick | unop, Ok, I see. THank you. | 08:34 |
| phoenix24 | what is the git url for linux-kernel ?? | 08:34 |
| Flyerfye | so no such luck, restarting didnt help my cedega/xorg problem | 08:35 |
| bwayne | lankke: so booting from a livecd produces a progress bar that hangs? sorry if my questions seem repetitive, just trying to place some context around your input. :-) | 08:35 |
| unop | bwayne, i dont think thats an accurate statement, iirc rc.local is run by bash | 08:35 |
| damo22 | u | 08:36 |
| awmcclain | unop: I don't see an IO::AIO ubuntu package (esp in apt-cache search aio). Is it named something funny? | 08:36 |
| vkennedy85 | There a good way to kill the messages of people entering and leaving? | 08:36 |
| unop | awmcclain, libio-aio-perl doesn't seem to exist oddly enough | 08:36 |
| phoenix24 | what is the git url for linux-kernel ?? | 08:36 |
| awmcclain | unop: Exactly | 08:36 |
| bwayne | unop: well, it's ran by the default shell, which in ubuntu, yes, is bash. i'm trying to convey the point that the FULL path to the executable bash script is what needs to be placed in rc.local. I think you've said really the same thing. | 08:36 |
| phoenix24 | what is the git url for vanilla-linux-kernel ?? | 08:37 |
| lankke | bwayne: booting from the disk drive produces a progress bar that hangs, booting from the live cd produces a progress bar which moves side to side... in both cases, after a while the gui cuts to a "busybox" shell prompt | 08:37 |
| awmcclain | unop: Very, very sad. | 08:37 |
| Flannel | !kernel | phoenix24 | 08:37 |
| ubotu | phoenix24: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 08:37 |
| unop | awmcclain, you can install the perl module (to the same effect) via this command. sudo cpan IO::AIO | 08:37 |
| roccity | anyone try fluxbuntu | 08:37 |
| roccity | think its ok | 08:37 |
| bwayne | lankke: try another livecd, if you have another one. i say to do this to test whether or not it's a problem with that particular livecd. maybe another one will work. | 08:38 |
| bwayne | when troubleshooting one must maximize one's data points. I think Spock originally said that. | 08:38 |
| awmcclain | unop: I know, but I'm writing automatic deployment scripts to install perlbal, and it's _much_ easier to use apt-get, which means it's MUCH better to require a package for IO::AIO. :( | 08:38 |
| lankke | bwayne alright mate, I'll give it a try | 08:38 |
| lankke | bwayne thanks for your help | 08:38 |
| bwayne | lankke: hope i'm actually helping. :-) | 08:39 |
| roccity | can anyone recommend some tweaks to slim ubuntu processes | 08:39 |
| StPatrick | Ok, well, thanks. On a related note, Now that Ubuntu is recognizing my wifi card, any ideas why i cant seem to connect to any unsecured wifi? | 08:39 |
| unop | bwayne, what i was really getting at is ./yourscript isn't 'auto-expanded' by the shell while 'yourscript' might be looked up in the directories of $PATH - note the difference between './yourscript' and 'yourscript' | 08:40 |
| bwayne | roccity: install the server edition. uninstall server stuff. then add your desktop environment of choice using 'sudo tasksel' or apt-get. | 08:40 |
| unop | awmcclain, so just add this line to your script :) same thing really. sudo cpan IO::AIO | 08:40 |
| ty | how doo i take ownership of my web directory? | 08:40 |
| damo22 | unop: its handy to add :. to the $PATH variable | 08:41 |
| awmcclain | unop: It just means I have to change all the dependencies and build a custom debian package, is all. | 08:41 |
| Tyrn_ | Hi | 08:41 |
| unop | damo22, no it isn't . sorry, this isn't windows :) and it might be dangerous | 08:41 |
| Flannel | damo22: security is the reason it's not, and probably isn't a good idea for that reason. | 08:41 |
| Tyrn_ | Someone known how to make ramdisk ? | 08:41 |
| unop | awmcclain, why build a debian package when you can get perl to install that module without the fuss? | 08:42 |
| vkennedy85 | When I try to add/remove programs or update codecs why does it keep asking me to refersh the list and not let me isntall it? | 08:42 |
| bwayne | unop: i agree. the ./ "places" the command within the current working directory of the shell. so if i'm in /home/bwayne/custom-scripts and I run ./customscript, bash is actually running /home/bwayne/custom-scripts/customscript. that sort of environmental variable (or whateva it's called) is not set when executed from rc.local. i think you and I agree. | 08:42 |
| Tyrn_ | I'have made one with the command : sudo mkdir /tmp/ramdisk0 ; sudo mke2fs /dev/ram0 ; sudo mount /dev/ram0 /tmp/ramdisk0 ; sudo chmod ugoa+rwx /tmp/ramdisk0 | 08:42 |
| unop | bwayne, right on :) | 08:42 |
| Terrasque | damo22: and next time you are in /tmp and type ls, and some funny guy had made an executable file called "ls" that basically says "rm -rf ~", you'll understand why adding . to path is a stellarly bad idea | 08:42 |
| Tyrn_ | But this ramdisk is very small, how can i do one bigguer ? (512/1 Go) | 08:43 |
| bullgard4 | Update Manager hangs. I'd like to kill it. But how? I cannot dind a process 'update notifier' in top. | 08:43 |
| roccity | thanks bwayne | 08:43 |
| damo22 | Terrasque: LOL i see now | 08:43 |
| bwayne | Terrasque: whoah. if that's the case then you're hacked and you can't trust ANY shell command. | 08:43 |
| bullgard4 | Update Manager hangs. I'd like to kill it. But how? I cannot find a process 'update notifier' in top. | 08:43 |
| unop | Terrasque, well, that depends on whether . was prepended or appended to the $PATH variable, but yea, that's reason enough anyway | 08:43 |
| awmcclain | unop: Because 1. cpan doesn't install dependencies. 2. cpan is interactive, which doesn't grok with my scripts 3. cpan doesn't automatically build and install perlbal 1.70 4. cpan also doesn't create an /etc/perlbal directory and populate it with conf files | 08:43 |
| roccity | i'am using the fluxbuntu distro works pretty good | 08:43 |
| roccity | but still have some mem issues | 08:44 |
| damo22 | !fluxbuntu | 08:44 |
| ubotu | fluxbuntu is a LPAE-standard compliant, Ubuntu-based derivative that maintains the goal of running on a wide range of mobile devices and computers (low-end & high-end). It is lightweight, swift and efficient. | Support Channel: #fluxbuntu on freenode | Homepage: http://fluxbuntu.org/ | 08:44 |
| roccity | im a end-user | 08:44 |
| roccity | so i get programs that are some-what slim | 08:44 |
| bwayne | roccity: no problem. i think running 'sudo tasksel' might do everything you're asking from within any flavor of *buntu. Like, you can install kubuntu and then completely flush out the kdesktop environment using tasksel. | 08:45 |
| roccity | i was getting into slackware for a min | 08:45 |
| roccity | but couldn't for the life of me get my wireless working | 08:45 |
| roccity | bwayne no kidding? | 08:45 |
| bwayne | roccity: any "grounds up" distro will work for what you want to do. i'd recommend arch or gentoo. i've never tried slackware and I'm not inclined to due to my laziness. i prefer automagical package managers. | 08:46 |
| unop | awmcclain, but you are writing a script, so you can get through all those bumps and oddities - otherwise, build a debian package, you know what your options are | 08:46 |
| unop | awmcclain, you can also have a look at the CPAN debian repository, it might have that module there as a package | 08:46 |
| roccity | im with you | 08:46 |
| roccity | im new to linux so it;s always trial and error | 08:47 |
| awmcclain | unop: Oh, that's a good idea! Really I'm just trying to get IO::AIO to install via packages rather than cpan. | 08:47 |
| bwayne | roccity: yeah. at least, i've worked it out like that before. absolute bare bones would be using an ubuntu-bootstrap to get the working filesystem onto your target drive. then you can chroot into your bare *buntu environment from within a "working" linux installation and run commands just as if you've booted into it. | 08:48 |
| awmcclain | unop: Since you're right, I'd rather build a package (so I can offer that to the perlbal group) rather than writing my own custom script. | 08:48 |
| bwayne | commands like apt-get install foo | 08:48 |
| unop | awmcclain, cpan is quite flexible, you can run it non-interactively if you wanted but you're right on external dependencies it doesn't handle them, but you can use apt-get in co-ordination with cpan to achieve what you want | 08:48 |
| awmcclain | unop: You're absolutely right. And I know you're giving me the easiest option. I'd love to try and figure out how to port IO:AIO into a package to make the whole thing much more portable. | 08:50 |
| === Dr_TBMMCH is now known as eth01 | ||
| === Nikki85 is now known as Nikki|AWAY | ||
| roccity | i usally just strip a installation down after an install | 08:51 |
| bwayne | ubuntu is just as flexible as you want to make it. in the final analysis, it almost doesn't matter with distro you use. If you know some basic UNIX and GNU stuff, you can get to the guts of the OS and do whatever your heart desires. | 08:51 |
| roccity | but i still miss some services | 08:51 |
| bwayne | what distinguishes one distro from another is things like package management, startup scripts, and some other configuration style things. | 08:52 |
| unop | awmcclain, cool, you might want to publish your work on the PPA repository (or CPAN even) so other debian/ubuntu users can benefit :) | 08:52 |
| roccity | yeha ive used every major dstro under the sun but i always come back to *buntu | 08:53 |
| roccity | in some form or another | 08:53 |
| awmcclain | unop: Exactly! My hope is to make perlbal really easy to install. =) | 08:53 |
| * Creationist can't stand anything without apt. | 08:53 | |
| bwayne | ubuntu is very attractive because of it's awesome package management. Easy tools and up-to-date packages. startup scripts are a little bit tricky, IMO. | 08:53 |
| roccity | there are other distros out there awm that mimic apt | 08:53 |
| roccity | slapt-get for one | 08:54 |
| bwayne | not to mention the awesome user base and community of ubuntu. | 08:54 |
| vkennedy85 | heh bwayne, I think package managemetn is what brought me here | 08:54 |
| srodden | Hello lovely people. I'm trying to install 8.04 beta and I find my LCD panel switches off shortly after I select the install option. The system is still running ok because the cd grinds for a while then settles down. If I ctrl-alt-del it pauses for me to hit enter then does an elegant restart, ejects the CD and reboots. Any ideas? | 08:54 |
| Odd-rationale | pacman is not too bad | 08:54 |
| roccity | yeha have to say that ubuntu comm is the best | 08:54 |
| Odd-rationale | srodden: #ubuntu+1 for hardy support | 08:54 |
| Creationist | #ubuntu+1 is the channel for Hardy support, srodden | 08:54 |
| Creationist | Grr | 08:54 |
| kadko | A question, The ubuntu hardy heron will be free in 13 days but it will be the final for all users almost free of errors or is another beta? | 08:54 |
| srodden | righto, thanks. | 08:55 |
| roccity | srodden what burn speed did you use? | 08:55 |
| Creationist | kadko: Generally, Linux will always be "beta" since bugs will always be present :) | 08:55 |
| Creationist | Then again, that goes for ALL software. | 08:55 |
| srodden | heh, like windows? or tiger? :) | 08:55 |
| bwayne | vkennedy85: it's great. it's ubuntu's debian roots + modern technologies that make it such a great combination for creating a popular version of GNU/linux. | 08:55 |
| unop | kadko, it will be the official release -- but to assume it will be rid of errors would be unfair really | 08:55 |
| Creationist | srodden: Except you needen't wait 4 months for a fix :) | 08:55 |
| kadko | I know that | 08:55 |
| magnetron | kadko: when hardy is released, it's released for REAÖ | 08:55 |
| magnetron | *REAL | 08:55 |
| srodden | Creationist, providing that someone motivated wants it fixed :) | 08:56 |
| Creationist | srodden: True. | 08:56 |
| bwayne | Creationist: not if you choose to stick with eg Debian Etch and then "track" the stable version. | 08:56 |
| Creationist | srodden: There are still some major bugs that I've found, reported, and heard nothing about for months... still no fixes. | 08:56 |
| roccity | *buntu I think is finally the gnu/linux for the masses | 08:56 |
| roccity | from there just up | 08:56 |
| kadko | mmm I was think on reinstal 7.10 but i prefer to the hardy release. | 08:56 |
| unop | kadko, even "almost free of errors" would be unfair - but the idea is it _should_ be stable | 08:56 |
| Creationist | bwayne: Since I Have no idea what any of that means, I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to do such a thing ;) | 08:56 |

| unop | vkennedy85, make sure you have enabled all the ubuntu repositories and mind the case of package names - i.e. gvim vs gVim | 09:05 |
| bwayne | serif: your problem is so very application specific that it requires someone with working knowledge of amsn to be able to help you. | 09:06 |

| StPatrick | damo22, did you get my link? | 09:07 |
| vkennedy85 | Where are the repositories enabled? | 09:07 |

| damo22 | StPatrick: sudo dhclient wlan0 | 09:07 |
| unop | serif, you can also ask the guys in #amsn | 09:07 |

| Tortuas | Hi. I'm new to linux and ubuntu. I managed to install it and get most things running. However, the sound is really quiet. | 09:08 |
| bazhang | jscinoz: why would you want to do that? | 09:08 |
| StPatrick | damo22, want me to pastebin these to you? | 09:08 |
| bwayne | !downgrade | 09:08 |
| Tortuas | if i turn up the sound i get distortion, but it's sitll not that very loud | 09:08 |
| ubotu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 09:08 |
| Tortuas | anyone know why? | 09:08 |
| vkennedy85 | thanks unop | 09:08 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: yeah | 09:08 |
| serif | ok thanks | 09:08 |
| StPatrick | damo22, Will do. Thank you. | 09:09 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: cat /etc/network/interfaces > pastebin | 09:09 |
| unop | vkennedy85, i dont think that will answer your question tho -- ask someone who uses gnome for more | 09:09 |
| StPatrick | damo22, just saw that .. sorry =/ | 09:09 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: so you can hear sounds, it's just that they aren't very loud? | 09:09 |
| jscinoz | bazhang, it'll make you cringe... i was half asleep (and possibly intoxicated) and decided to dist-upgrade while having both ubuntu hardy and debian unstable repos enabled :P | 09:09 |
| unop | vkennedy85, iirc, it's accessible from within the gnome admin menu somewhere | 09:09 |
| jscinoz | X3 | 09:09 |
| jscinoz | XD* | 09:09 |
| Tortuas | bwayne: yes. the sound is just very quiet. if i turn it up in the OS, i get distortion and it's still not very loud | 09:09 |
| unop | vkennedy85, should be named "software properties" or something similar | 09:09 |
| bazhang | jscinoz: you may wish to backup; no telling what the 'fix' might do | 09:10 |
| vkennedy85 | unop: I actually checked that, I do not have the GUI the site shows for it | 09:10 |
| StPatrick | damo22, http://pastebin.ca/980778 | 09:10 |
| jscinoz | bazhang :P hey thats what i run hardy for :P the fun factor :P | 09:10 |
| unop | vkennedy85, you can always edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file (as root) and uncomment the repositories | 09:10 |
| jscinoz | i also use :P too much... | 09:10 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: are you using an integrated sound system, like an Intel integrated motherboard, or do you have a separate audio card. | 09:10 |
| bwayne | ? | 09:10 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: cat /etc/network/interfaces ... not /etc/netwrk | 09:11 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: you made a typo | 09:11 |
| Tortuas | bwayne: i think it's integrated. I'm on a Thinkpad T60 | 09:11 |
| vkennedy85 | unop: alright I'm going to try it right now, thanks | 09:11 |
| StPatrick | damo22, man, sorry. its late. | 09:11 |
| jscinoz | bazhang, at least i didn't bork it too bad, it still boots and X starts fine, just some oh so minor things such as... eveyrthing else being horribly broken :P | 09:11 |
| jscinoz | dependency hell is a fun place. | 09:11 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: what version of ubuntu? Gutsy, Feisty, ?? | 09:11 |
| Tortuas | bwayne: I'm using 8. | 09:12 |
| StPatrick | damo22, http://pastebin.ca/980781 | 09:12 |
| roccity | huh | 09:12 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: the beta version? | 09:12 |
| Tortuas | bwayne: 8.04 | 09:12 |
| bazhang | jscinoz: I dont feel confident on recommending a course of action here; just to back up some of the really crucial data you have--"just in case" | 09:12 |
| magnetron | !hardy | Tortuas | 09:12 |
| ubotu | Tortuas: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 09:12 |
| Tortuas | bwayne: the final version has been released? | 09:12 |
| dejx | http://rafb.net/p/w4PnX911.html how could i fix that? | 09:12 |
| magnetron | Tortuas: no | 09:12 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: so you know that your wired interface is disabled | 09:12 |
| Tortuas | ah thanks | 09:13 |
| StPatrick | damo22, it is? Im on it right now.... | 09:13 |
| roccity | anyone know anything bout xfe?? | 09:13 |
| jscinoz | bazhang, i've got separate home and root partitions, and a backup only 16hrs old, won't matter if i bork it more :P | 09:13 |
| bazhang | dejx: care to give a bit of background first? what you have tried, what errors you have gotten etc. | 09:13 |
| jscinoz | I <3 duplicity | 09:13 |
| bazhang | roccity: xfs or xfce? | 09:14 |
| unop | roccity, xfe or xfce? | 09:14 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: do you know the wireless essid | 09:14 |
| roccity | i keep getting popups taking bout one of my windows shares is not mounting | 09:14 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: no you're using what's called a "beta". sometimes things won't work as expected. try using a current release version, 7.10, for example. if you're hardware is really new, it may not be that well supported yet. but first thing is to start working with the stable version of the OS. | 09:14 |
| roccity | xfe file manager | 09:14 |
| StPatrick | damo22, NETGEAR | 09:14 |
| dejx | bazhang i tries with sudo and no work | 09:14 |
| Tortuas | unfortunately 7.10 installer won't work with my ATI x1400 card | 09:14 |
| unop | roccity, a little bit, what do you want to know? | 09:14 |
| dejx | I really dont have any idea what to do | 09:14 |
| dejx | X works fine with normal users | 09:14 |
| magnetron | Tortuas, bwayne: beta support in #ubuntu+1 ONLY, please | 09:14 |
| bazhang | dejx you tried what with sudo; what are you trying to accomplish | 09:14 |
| unop | dejx, have you tried su? | 09:14 |
| jscinoz | whee, only 254 packages leftto manuall downgrade >_< | 09:15 |
| dejx | su root? and then xeyes? yes. same error | 09:15 |
| roccity | how to stop the popups saying that an smb file didn't mount even unmounted the share and I still get it | 09:15 |
| jscinoz | i made myself sad :( | 09:15 |
| damo22 | iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 09:15 |

| dejx | bazhang i'm trying to run xeyes with root | 09:15 |
| bazhang | roccity: you talking about thunar? | 09:15 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: /join #ubuntu+1 <-- type that into the channel here. | 09:15 |
| damo22 | you need to add those 2 lines to /etc/network/interfaces | 09:15 |
| roccity | no xfe | 09:15 |
| unop | dejx, so wait. does 'su root' actually work? forget xeyes for now. | 09:16 |
| StPatrick | damo22, Will that keep me from being able to connect to other random wireless points? | 09:16 |
| dejx | unop yes | 09:16 |
| unop | dejx, right, and what happens when you try and launch xeyes from within a root shell? | 09:16 |
| roccity | bazhang msg/ file manager | 09:16 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: im not an expert on wireless... sorry | 09:16 |
| StPatrick | damo22, No need to appologize :) | 09:16 |
| roccity | msg/ bazhang | 09:16 |
| dejx | Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server and in the next line Xlib: No protocol specified | 09:17 |
| roccity | i can't use irc lol | 09:17 |
| StPatrick | damo22, Thanks for your help. I'll try adding those lines, and see if i can connect | 09:17 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: do you use security? | 09:17 |
| magnetron | StPatrick: what does iwconfig tell you? | 09:17 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: iwconfig > pastebin | 09:17 |
| StPatrick | damo22, No it's completely unlocked. | 09:17 |
| bwayne | dejx: you're attempting to run a graphical program from a root shell? | 09:18 |
| dejx | bwayne yes | 09:18 |
| unop | dejx, yea, that's a problem you will encounter when launching X applications when the environment is not setup properly .. i suggest you invalidate the root password and launch the command this way. gksudo xeyes | 09:18 |
| bwayne | dejx: gnome or KDE? | 09:18 |
| bazhang | roccity: not sure about the xfe you speak of; are you thinking of something else? | 09:18 |
| StPatrick | magnetron, damo http://pastebin.ca/980785 | 09:18 |
| dejx | kde | 09:18 |
| unop | bwayne, he's set the root password and sudo doesn't work as expected now | 09:18 |
| roccity | no it's a file manager like the old windows i think | 09:19 |
| bwayne | unop: ahh ... | 09:19 |
| Tortuas | well all i can say is i am f*ckin impressed with ubuntu | 09:19 |
| roccity | works great cept for that | 09:19 |
| Tortuas | i may not ever go back to windows | 09:19 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: it says you're not in range of an access point | 09:19 |
| bazhang | Tortuas: language please | 09:19 |
| roccity | getting a popup every 10 min | 09:19 |
| StPatrick | damo22, I have not yet added those lines, and i am definitly in range. | 09:19 |
| ganastasiou | which avi player should i use? | 09:19 |
| Tortuas | how do I get that nifty mac style launcher on the bottom? | 09:19 |
| stefan_ | hi | 09:19 |
| unop | dejx, from a root shell. run this command. passwd -L root # then exit and use gksudo, etc | 09:20 |
| StPatrick | damo22, I can see about 13 points listed when i click on the thing in the upper right | 09:20 |
| bwayne | Tortuas: your OS is a tool. you want to use the correct tool for the job. | 09:20 |
| Ragnaroek | Hello | 09:20 |
| bazhang | ganastasiou: mplayer? | 09:20 |
| stefan_ | ganastasiou: Mplayer, VLC, Xine are quite cool | 09:20 |
| damo22 | s | 09:20 |
| ganastasiou | i have mplayer and vlx | 09:20 |
| damo22 | StPatrick: i dont know | 09:20 |
| unop | dejx, actually make that. passwd -l root | 09:20 |
| ganastasiou | vlc | 09:20 |
| ganastasiou | but | 09:20 |
| ganastasiou | mplayer doesnt show me the subs well | 09:20 |
| b4l74z4r | i installed a kde chat client called konversation in ubuntu and whenever i connect to a server, an entry pops up in the taskbar "launching knotify", it stays for a few seconds then goes away, does anyone have an idea what that's all about? | 09:20 |
| StPatrick | damo22, me either.. it's freakin weird. | 09:20 |
| agentsoul | Hello, I'm working with hardy, unfortunenatly it comes with an old unuseable (the numerical integration isn't working) version of qtiplot 0.9.3 rc2. The stable and fixed version 0.9.4 is released but only available as source. Where or who can I ask for some help. | 09:20 |
| dejx | unop | 09:20 |
| bazhang | tortuas that is called avant-window-navigator | 09:21 |
| stefan_ | i want to prevent ubuntu from loading the lp module at startup. i removed it from /etc/modeules, but its still being loaded | 09:21 |
| dejx | i use kde not gnome | 09:21 |
| bazhang | agentsoul: please see the hardy channel thanks | 09:21 |
| stefan_ | ganastasiou: then xein or vlc.. xine is more clicky :) | 09:21 |
| unop | dejx, ok, same thing but then use kdesu instead of gksu | 09:21 |
| agentsoul | bazhang: is it ubuntu+1 ? | 09:21 |
| ganastasiou | and vlc when i go full screen it shows me huge subs | 09:21 |
| bazhang | agentsoul: aye ;] | 09:21 |
| agentsoul | bazhang: thx | 09:22 |
| bwayne | dejx: IIRC, kdesu is the program to invoke in order to launch a kde application with escalated priviledges. | 09:22 |
| bwayne | dejx: like "kdesu konqueror" to invoke a root konqueror. | 09:22 |
| unop | bwayne, not just kde applications tho, normal X apps too | 09:22 |
| bazhang | b4l74z4r: this is gutsy? | 09:22 |
| Tortuas | bazhang: thanks | 09:23 |
| osfameron | kdesu =~ gksudo ? | 09:23 |
| b4l74z4r | bazhang: yes | 09:23 |
| dejx | ok i did that | 09:23 |
| dejx | with kdesu | 09:23 |
| dejx | but it asks me for password and i type mine users | 09:23 |
| dejx | Ow, i forgot to tell, we have NIS | 09:23 |
| bwayne | unop: i agree. graphical apps need a special environment, brought on my kdesu in KDE or gksudo in GNome, in order to run correctly. | 09:23 |
| bazhang | Tortuas: np; you have to enable the ppa repo and install it from there for gutsy; it is in the repos for the next release | 09:23 |
| ScriptDevil | is it possible to do an apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop and then completely remove the ubuntu-desktop | 09:24 |
| ScriptDevil | ? | 09:24 |
| bwayne | unop: i'm not sure if gksudo would invoke a kde-app correctly. | 09:24 |
| unop | dejx, it shouldn't matter, just make sure the root passwd is invalidated first and sudo/kdesu should work fine afterwards | 09:24 |
| bwayne | ScriptDevil: yes. aptitude is probably the best tool for the job. | 09:24 |
| srodden | Hello again :) I have a 7.10 install and I removed libcap1, was too hasty to confirm the removal and I noticed after that I've removed some stuff I didn't want to. Stupidly I didn't record what packages they were and after a reboot I have no networking. How can I determine what was removed and/or what depends on libcap1? | 09:25 |
| ScriptDevil | bwayne: what will my startup screen tell me, kubuntu or ubuntu? | 09:25 |
| Ragnaroek | ?? | 09:25 |
| bazhang | ScriptDevil: sure, but you need to remove more than just the metapackage; there is a link with /msg ubotu puregnome or purekde forget which--follow that link and at the bottome of the page is a descritpion of all the packages you have to remove | 09:25 |
| StPatrick | No one else has any ideas about my wireless? | 09:25 |
| Tortuas | bazhang: I did - sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator and it seems to have installed alright | 09:25 |
| dejx | hm, not ever sudo ls /root dont work | 09:25 |
| ScriptDevil | bazhang: thanks | 09:25 |
| dejx | do i must change /etc/sudoers ? | 09:25 |
| unop | bwayne, it ought to, iirc, kdesu/gksu etc sets up the X environment so that graphical apps (being gtk, qt, tk, etc) can function | 09:25 |
| bwayne | ScriptDevil: if you "sudo aptitude remove --purge ubuntu-desktop" and "sudo aptitude install kde-desktop" , the KDM login manager ought to be the one invoked at startup. | 09:25 |
| bazhang | ScriptDevil: beware though; the kde4 is really different ;] | 09:26 |
| bwayne | ScriptDevil: IIRC, dpkg will ask you to choose a default login manager. you can choose kdm at that time and it'll look like a fresh kubuntu install. | 09:26 |
| unop | dejx, did you reset the root password? | 09:26 |
| dejx | passwd -l root | 09:26 |
| dejx | yes:D | 09:26 |
| unop | dejx, if you've done that -- what does thsi command give you? id; groups | 09:26 |
| unop | this* | 09:27 |
| bwayne | ScriptDevil: if you use aptitude for this and you don't usually use aptitude, running aptitude --update is probably recommended to do first. | 09:27 |

| icesword | anyone knows if this program is open sourced?http://www.gigaget.com/ | 09:27 |
| bazhang | icesword: they will say on the page if they are gpl v whatever or not | 09:28 |
| srodden | icesword, have you visted the site and tried to download the source yet? :) | 09:28 |
| ScriptDevil | bwayne: also my x resolution is poor. At only 1024 * 768 when i can do 1152 * 1024. How do i increase it. It doesnt show up in settings->desktop. Hardy here | 09:28 |
| unop | dejx, hmm, thats quite unusual, you are not member of the admin group which is required to use sudo -- you seem to have changed the system around quite a bit | 09:28 |
| bazhang | argh more hidden hardy-ites | 09:28 |
| ganastasiou | ubuntu from default they have XINE? | 09:29 |
| dejx | as i said | 09:29 |
| dejx | my user is in NIS | 09:29 |
| bwayne | icesword: it appears that you can only download .exe files, which are executable Microsoft Windows binaries. a good rule of thumb is "can I download the tar.gz file?" | 09:29 |
| dejx | "test" user is that user i typed in install | 09:29 |
| magnetron | !enter | dejx | 09:29 |
| ubotu | dejx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 09:29 |
| unop | dejx, you'll need to logon as root now (however you do with your NIS server) and put yourself in the admin group or edit the sudoers file to give your user sudo capbilities | 09:29 |
| dejx | ok i'm root | 09:30 |
| dejx | what to do? | 09:31 |
| faraonxf | good day! | 09:31 |
| srodden | I'm getting a zlib_inflate error when trying to install 8.04. Does this indicate a corrupt install medium or somethign else? | 09:31 |
| bwayne | icesword: download managers of that sort are generally considered anti-net etiquette. without being able to see the source it's just a "block box" program whose behavior might not be net-friendly. | 09:31 |
| unop | dejx, usermod -G admin dejand | 09:31 |
| bwayne | icesword: kget is a good KDE program to manage downloads. | 09:31 |
| dejx | dejand not found in /etc/passwd | 09:31 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for all hardy questions folks; thanks | 09:32 |
| dejx | NIS,.. | 09:32 |
| srodden | doh, wrong channel | 09:32 |
| unop | dejx, or the equivalent if your NIS server uses a different means so NIS is updated | 09:32 |
| bazhang | I may as well repeat that message every five minutes ;] | 09:32 |
| dejx | i didnt quite understand last one unop | 09:32 |
| hirak99 | what is a nice command line client for instant messenging to yahoo and google talk? | 09:33 |
| unop | dejx, i'm not sure how your NIS server manages users and groups, so i cant tell you how to accomplish this.. you might know how this is done tho which is what i meant | 09:33 |
| unop | hirak99, i'm not sure one even exists | 09:34 |
| CK_MY | who using virtual box ? i cant run it because "The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user" anyone can help[ me ? | 09:34 |
| dejx | http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debian-howto/nis.html i'm setting my computers via this tutorial | 09:34 |
| hirak99 | sorry i meant terminal based messenging, not exactly command line | 09:35 |
| bazhang | screen does IM? | 09:35 |
| dejx | Ok i added manualy in /etc/group my user in admin group | 09:36 |
| dejx | and | 09:36 |
| faraonxf | can i help& | 09:36 |
| bwayne | CK_MY: you'll need to add your user to the vboxusers group, log out and then log back in. | 09:36 |

| egoleo_ | plse how do i use find or locate to find a word or character in a file? | 09:38 |
| dejx | Ok, i did passwd -l root again, and trying to run kdesu xeyes and it freezes now | 09:38 |
| pat5star | the howard stern show uses ubuntu in their studio, but artie quit today, just wondering if anyone else was upset | 09:38 |
| dejx | i mean, keep loading,... | 09:38 |
| pat5star | would that be considered off topic? | 09:39 |
| bazhang | yes | 09:39 |
| hischild | pat5star, yes | 09:39 |
| pat5star | oh sorry | 09:39 |
| unop | dejx, does this give you anything? grep -i $USER /etc/NIS/passwd | 09:40 |

| Stevethepirate | pat5star: Referring to the !enter | dejx comment above :P | 09:41 |
| Stevethepirate | Replace all spaces with newlines :P | 09:41 |

| pat5star | bazhang: what, because of me? | 09:42 |
| Stevethepirate | pat5star: String replacement of ' ' to '\n' | 09:42 |
| pat5star | bazhang: would you prefer I go bug the #windows channel? | 09:42 |
| J-_ | To get write permissions to /var/www/sites/default/settings.php I can just "chmod 777 /var/www/default/settings.php" correct? | 09:42 |

| pat5star | J-_: even better, chmod -R 777 / | 09:43 |
| Chousuke | J-_: adduser you www-data | 09:43 |
| pat5star | then everything will work | 09:43 |
| unop | Stevethepirate, 600 wont let him write to that directory, he'll need 660 | 09:43 |
| CK_MY | bwayne, i dont know how to explain , because i new to linux | 09:44 |
| Almindor | or any other editor for that matter | 09:44 |
| J-_ | pat5star should be kicked. | 09:44 |
| bazhang | indeed | 09:44 |
| CK_MY | unop, how to add 2 group in 1 user ? | 09:44 |
| BanghiNation | Hello, I have installed the drivers/firmware for my ipw2200. When I give the iwconfig command I see it listed now. I would like to know if there is a tool available under ubuntu that users can use to make a connection with a wlan. These users don't have much linux experience. They are used to Windows. So I'd prefer a tool similar to the windows functionality to select a wlan. Any suggestions? | 09:44 |
| J-_ | Chousuke: thanks | 09:44 |
| unop | J-_, sudo usermod -G www-data $USER | 09:44 |
| hischild | pat5star, please refrain from giving useless advice. | 09:44 |
| pat5star | what was wrong with my advice? | 09:44 |
| J-_ | pat5star: write permissions to root? | 09:44 |
| J-_ | That's not funny | 09:44 |
| pat5star | that's what I did with my install, I have no problems | 09:44 |
| Stevethepirate | unop: Ah, indeed. | 09:44 |
| hischild | pat5star, you should never give all permissions to everyone. | 09:45 |
| unop | CK_MY, for i in group1 group2; do sudo usermod -G $i $USER; done | 09:45 |
| x0x | ANYONE here who can help me with proftpd | 09:45 |
| x0x | ? | 09:45 |
| Chousuke | unop: that's a bad command. | 09:45 |
| bazhang | BanghiNation: the networkmanager-applet should do that fine | 09:45 |
| unop | Chousuke, no it's not | 09:45 |
| gh0st | how can i read my gpu temperature (nvidia)? | 09:45 |
| Chousuke | unop: it'll remove you from any group you're in that you don't list. | 09:45 |
| nalioth | pat5star: #ubuntu-offtopic is where we talk about howard | 09:45 |
| BanghiNation | ok, I'll install that, thanks | 09:45 |
| pat5star | kicked? I can't believe that! I'm trying to help and being threatened with being kicked....that's the thanks I get? | 09:45 |
| bwayne | CK_MY: ok. from the error you're getting, it appears that the user you're trying to use virtualbox with doesn't have the right permissions. | 09:45 |
| nalioth | pat5star: #ubuntu is where we provide quality help | 09:45 |
| unop | Chousuke, i dont remember that ever being the case before | 09:46 |
| bazhang | BanghiNation: should be there by default; look in the top right of the panel | 09:46 |
| pat5star | nalioth: I'm not talking about that anymore since there doesn't seem to be any interest | 09:46 |
| Chousuke | unop: the manual page says so | 09:46 |
| bwayne | gh0st: 'apt-cache search nvidia' will probably reveal some tools that you can install. | 09:46 |
| Chousuke | unop: you want usermod -aG | 09:46 |
| pat5star | hischild: why is my advice useless? would it now work in this guys case? | 09:47 |
| pat5star | not | 09:47 |
| pat5star | I mean | 09:47 |
| bazhang | oy | 09:47 |
| dejx | unop bazhang thank you guys, i maganed to fix it! | 09:47 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: no, it wouldn't. | 09:47 |
| hischild | pat5star, it would work, but also open up a pretty big security hole | 09:47 |
| dejx | Only problem is that i dont have setted my root password | 09:47 |
| bazhang | !yay | dejx | 09:47 |
| ubotu | dejx: Glad you made it! :-) | 09:47 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: it would've broken his system. | 09:47 |
| gh0st | bwayne; i have read it should be in nvidia-settings, but it's not | 09:47 |
| pat5star | but it would work | 09:48 |
| pat5star | broke it? | 09:48 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: no, it wouldn't. | 09:48 |
| pat5star | no it wouldn't | 09:48 |
| Chousuke | yes it would. | 09:48 |
| CK_MY | unop, usermod is my username ? and -G $i $USER | 09:48 |
| Chousuke | chmod -R / anything will break your system | 09:48 |
| gh0st | also, is there any way i can know the model of my MoBo wihtout opening the case? | 09:48 |
| bazhang | gh0st: perhaps lshw in the terminal not sure though if it is that thorough | 09:49 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: you want "usermod -aG group username" | 09:49 |
| unop | Chousuke, assuming i have the same manpage you do, -G does not say anything about removing the user from the groups he currently exists in but it does say " A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of " | 09:49 |
| pat5star | Chousuke: that command you just typed wouldn't work, you have to assign an owner like chmod -R root:root /, then it will work, that' syour problem | 09:49 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: but adduser user group is easier. | 09:49 |
| CK_MY | Chousuke, 1 user can done all thing is easier ^.^ | 09:49 |
| unop | CK_MY, usermod is the command .. all you need do is change the values of group1 and group2 in that command | 09:50 |
| pat5star | this is why windows is so much easier, but that's an argument for another day | 09:50 |
| unop | pat5star, thats offtopic | 09:50 |
| Chousuke | unop: "If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group." | 09:50 |
| pat5star | unop: that's why I said it's a topic for another day, duh! | 09:50 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: your command wouldn't work | 09:51 |
| jpatrick | !guidelines > pat5star | 09:51 |
| unop | pat5star, you shouldnt need to mention it :) | 09:51 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: you don't change users with chmod | 09:51 |
| bazhang | !ot | pat5star | 09:51 |
| ubotu | pat5star: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:51 |
| pat5star | what? am I all messed up? | 09:51 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: and I *intended* for my command not to work because "chmod -R /" with any permission string will mess up your system | 09:51 |
| Chousuke | at least if you use sudo. | 09:52 |
| Chousuke | without it, you'll just mess up your home directory and a few other places. | 09:52 |
| CK_MY | unop, sudo usermod -G $ck $vboxusers | 09:52 |
| pat5star | oh yeah, ok...I'm messed up...I better come back tomorrow, cya all, take care :) | 09:52 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: don't forget the -a | 09:52 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: and without the $s | 09:52 |
| CK_MY | Chousuke, will mess home ? | 09:52 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: no, that won't. | 09:52 |
| CK_MY | will mess home folder ? | 09:53 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: look, just use useradd | 09:53 |
| pat5star | but what I meant, which makes your system easier to manage is: chmod -R 777 / | 09:53 |
| Chousuke | pat5star: ... no | 09:53 |
| CK_MY | Chousuke, what is the differenece ? | 09:53 |
| pat5star | I got that mixed up with chown -R root:root / | 09:54 |
| Chousuke | CK_MY: with usermod -G, you may inadvertently remove yourself from a group | 09:54 |

| Chousuke | CK_MY: no | 09:55 |
| chalxedony | interesting | 09:55 |

| CK_MY | who know how to set clone monitor and tv ? i have nvidia 7300LE? | 10:01 |
| janet | I bought a wireless laptop with ubuntu last week so I am very new to how it works. Yesterday I bough a HP Photosmart C4380 printer (wrireless). I can get it to print if I plug in the USB cable but I have no idea how to make it print wireless. The USB cable is in the way so I cannot leave it set up as it is. I have put the CD-ROM into the drive but have no idea what to do next. Can anybody help please? | 10:03 |
| bazhang | CK_MY: twinhead? both show the exact same thing? | 10:03 |
| CK_MY | bazhang, yes , i have monitor and tv , main will be monitor the tv will be the clone ... exact the same thing | 10:04 |
| ogre | im trying to install a package from source. i have navigated to directory and tried mak and ./make to no avail. there is a .pl file that says install. any suggestions? | 10:04 |
| J-_ | What is the GD Library called for PHP? Drupal is complaining it's missing. | 10:04 |
| bazhang | http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead CK_MY this should answer that; I just generally plug it in and it works | 10:05 |
| SanitariuM | Running Xubuntu... have a PCMCIA D-Link DWL-650+ wifi card... nm-applet lists the card and available networks... but is unable to connect/stay connected to any networks. | 10:05 |
| SanitariuM | Example... unsecured network with no encryption... public access... STRONG signal... it connects, then disconnects, then connects, then disconnects rapidly | 10:06 |
| bazhang | janet: is this a shared printer? | 10:06 |
| CK_MY | bazhang, u using nvidia 7300LE too ? | 10:06 |
| SanitariuM | I ran Kwifimanager to watch what it was doing... | 10:06 |
| bazhang | CK_MY: the desktop version of that card; is that a laptop? | 10:06 |
| SanitariuM | the access point and local ip kept resetting to 0 then back to normal values then back and forth and over and over | 10:06 |
| CK_MY | bazhang, no i using desktop | 10:06 |
| janet | bazhang- I have 2 wireless laptops - Toshiba on windows - I installed the printer easily on that one and the Dell running on Ubuntu | 10:07 |
| SanitariuM | I had this same problem with the laptop on Windows XP when using the default network manager... the problem was resolved by simply using the *software* provided by d-link for network management | 10:07 |
| bazhang | CK_MY: not sure of the exact name; it is the 256MB 7300 one though | 10:07 |
| SanitariuM | I've tried half a dozen network managers under linux here and all keep reproducing the same problem | 10:07 |
| CK_MY | bazhang, yup | 10:07 |

| bazhang | janet this is gutsy? | 10:09 |
| janet | bazhang- I believe so | 10:09 |
| hirak99 | foibles: just instead of "find /boot/grub/stage1", you do "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 10:09 |
| tuntun | oh hai ЮЭ | 10:09 |
| hirak99 | foibles: the rest of the steps remain same. | 10:10 |

| foibles | hirak99: is it best to do this from a livecd, as my reading seems to indicate, i merely ask for a second opinion | 10:13 |
| janet | bazhang- yes, it is 7.10 gutsy | 10:13 |
| tengulre | theone: where are u come from? | 10:13 |

| bazhang | theone english please | 10:14 |
| janet | bazhang- ok | 10:14 |
| hirak99 | foibles: if you have the live cd probably better to do it from there; though there shouldn't be any difference if you have latest version of grub in gentoo | 10:14 |
| icesword | theone, hahahaha,bird languauge | 10:14 |
| unop | that looks like thai to me | 10:14 |
| bazhang | icesword: offtopic | 10:15 |
| icesword | bazhang, :( | 10:15 |
| bazhang | SanitariuM: your card is in roaming mode? do you need to use gui? or is cli okay | 10:16 |
| SanitariuM | yes card is in roaming mode | 10:17 |
| bazhang | SanitariuM: this is gutsy correct? do you use cli--or must it be gui | 10:17 |
| SanitariuM | select network, thing tries to connect, then goes whack with connect/disconnects | 10:17 |
| SanitariuM | yes gutsy | 10:17 |
| SanitariuM | unfortunately laptop ain't with me right now, tis at friend's house waiting for me to come over to fix it hehe | 10:18 |
| bazhang | SanitariuM: the reason I mention cli is that we can diagnose errors more easily | 10:18 |
| janet | bazhang - I have read the webpage - this is probably a silly question but do I need to plug the printer via the USB into the router to start with? The page says make sure the printer is configured and attached to your router. | 10:18 |
| SanitariuM | not familiar with cli, bazhang... still rather new, learning as i go | 10:19 |
| bazhang | janet: that would be the way to go yes | 10:19 |
| SanitariuM | my next guess would be to d/l the xp drivers for the card and use ndiswrapper on em | 10:19 |
| SanitariuM | airplus.inf, airplus.sys | 10:19 |
| SanitariuM | would those work under ndis? | 10:19 |
| janet | bazhang - ok - thanks - I will log off now as I have to move the printer across the room and move furniture. But thanks. | 10:19 |
| SanitariuM | being it's a pcmcia card | 10:19 |
| bazhang | SanitariuM: well we could provide you with the commands to troubleshoot this via cli; it would be more informative with the error messages it might give | 10:19 |
| n2j3 | any idea on how to save .bash_history in RAM instead of disk? trying hard to minimise disk writes :s | 10:20 |
| SanitariuM | i'll have to get the thing on wired connection and come back and hope someone's around | 10:20 |
| icesword | lol | 10:20 |
| SanitariuM | cuz i've been googling this for well over an hour now | 10:20 |

| StPatrick | using Compiz in Ubuntu? | 10:20 |
| bazhang | SanitariuM: with this many people someone is always around ;] | 10:20 |
| n2j3 | no, off a flashdisk icesword | 10:20 |
| hirak99 | why don't these people release there source codes, or atleast a driver for linux? don't they realize people will slowly stop buying their products | 10:21 |
| n2j3 | linutop2 \o/ | 10:21 |
| icesword | ohhhhh,i see | 10:21 |
| StPatrick | how do I use compiz in Ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| bazhang | StPatrick: get the correct 3d drivers installed for your card and install ccsm | 10:21 |
| n2j3 | i tried ln -s to /tmp or /dev/null icesword but i get a "file exists" message | 10:21 |
| dromer | hmz, somehow mplayer and vlc won't play sound anymore, both say Device or resource busy | 10:21 |
| icesword | n2j3, uninstall unnecessary packages | 10:22 |
| n2j3 | :o packages? what for? | 10:22 |
| StPatrick | bazhang, thanks, and where can I find new the,es for ubuntu? | 10:22 |
| unop | hirak99, intellectual propery and open source don't exactly go hand in hand -- and the number of linux users is not a significant enough for them to cater to the linux community (yet) | 10:22 |
| hirak99 | StPatrick: i use compizconfig-settings-manager, "sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager" for using compiz properly | 10:22 |
| icesword | n2j3, er,em,uninstall unnecessary apps | 10:22 |
| bazhang | StPatrick: the drivers would be the restricted driver manager; ccsm you can get info if you /msg ubotu ccsm | 10:22 |
| J-_ | how can I see if mod_rewrite is working on my server? | 10:23 |
| n2j3 | how is that going to minimise disk writes icesword ? i'm on about specifically .bash_history | 10:23 |
| unop | n2j3, if you get that warning, yuo probably aren't using ln properly | 10:23 |
| gan | system is not shuuting down if i give init 0, it is saying system halted , why? | 10:23 |
| unop | s/yuo/you/ | 10:23 |
| hirak99 | StPatrick: u should turn on compiz from the Appearance in the menu, or by "sudo compiz --replace" (former way is preferred i suppose) | 10:23 |
| n2j3 | ln -s /dev/null ~/.bash_history | 10:23 |
| n2j3 | ? | 10:23 |
| n2j3 | unop, | 10:23 |
| unop | gan, thats the way init works | 10:23 |
| bazhang | compiz --replace from run command (alt f2); no sudo needed iirc | 10:23 |
| unop | n2j3, right, but ~/.bash_history already exists - so you need to delete it first or use the -f flag to ln | 10:24 |
| StPatrick | hirak99, Thanks. It would appear that there is a problem wiht my display adaptors. | 10:24 |
| n2j3 | hmm good point | 10:24 |
| gan | unop, if i give the system should go to shutdown , but the monitor is not going off | 10:24 |
| StPatrick | Goodnight, then | 10:24 |
| n2j3 | so unop, ln -f /dev/null ~/.bash_history right? | 10:24 |
| hirak99 | unop, you are right... i tossed a stupid adsl modem that won't work with linux after trying to persuade the customer service for a while to get a driver out | 10:24 |
| hirak99 | that was long back though | 10:24 |
| StPatrick | Oh themes. where Do i get a themes for my Linutop? | 10:25 |

| unop | n2j3, i dont see why ln was failing there still, it should work | 10:29 |

| Oprtz | bazhang: how to do this, i know nothing abt linux, can u guide me please | 10:31 |
| unop | n2j3, if you need ~/.bash_history, why are you trying to link it to /dev/null -- thats as good as not having one :) | 10:31 |
| paulowsky | hello, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 on a hp 6710 notebook and the system keeps hanging, usually reporting I/O errors, but when I run fsck, nothing is wrong | 10:31 |
| bazhang | Oprtz: are you on the computer now? can you install software on it? | 10:32 |
| paulowsky | hello, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 on a hp 6710 notebook and the system keeps hanging, usually reporting I/O errors, but when I run fsck, nothing is wrong | 10:32 |
| gan | unop, even if i run the command poweroff, error "system halted " | 10:32 |
| Oprtz | i am on windows machine and ubuntu is infront of m | 10:32 |
| Oprtz | me* | 10:32 |
| n2j3 | :s maybe i should have tried /tmp/ then unop ? | 10:32 |
| n2j3 | >_< | 10:32 |
| n2j3 | how to remove that link now | 10:32 |
| n2j3 | lol | 10:32 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: i told u , ubuntu cant log me in, after giving username and password, it stuck there :( | 10:32 |
| bazhang | Oprtz: is this ubuntu computer on the internet now? | 10:32 |
| unop | n2j3, delete it with rm | 10:32 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: no windows | 10:33 |
| bazhang | Oprtz: do you have the livecd? | 10:33 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: but i have access to ubuntu | 10:33 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: yes i do | 10:33 |
| bazhang | Oprtz: how do you have access if you cannot log in? | 10:33 |
| n2j3 | i did rm ~/.bash_history prior to making that link unop | 10:34 |
| paulowsky | Oprtz: I think bazhang is asking if the ubuntu computer you're trying to fix is connected to the internet right now | 10:34 |
| n2j3 | and .bash_history is nowher to be seen now lol, i think i messed it up | 10:34 |
| dromer | anyone an idea why mplayer and vlc can't play sound but for instance mpd can? | 10:34 |
| dromer | this is getting anoying :/ | 10:34 |
| Oprtz | yes its connected with LAN | 10:34 |
| unop | gan, why don't you use 'shutdown -h now' instead? | 10:34 |
| paulowsky | Oprtz: what exactly is the problem? | 10:34 |
| Oprtz | i am fedup with ubuntu 7.10, this is 2nd time when i update the files showing in notification (188 updates available) after that my system cant log in to ubuntu, ask me user name and password then noting happend :( | 10:34 |
| bazhang | dromer: is some other app using the sound card? you using wine for example? | 10:34 |
| unop | n2j3, you can recreate it - touch ~/.bash_history | 10:34 |
| n2j3 | and then link it to /tmp ? | 10:35 |
| mjanisz | hi! i'm looking for a simple ncurses-like interface with header files for c++, you guys know of any? | 10:35 |
| gan | unop, ok i use & tell you | 10:35 |
| dromer | bazhang: not using wine, only ap using the sound card is mpd .. but this has never given me a problem | 10:35 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: so what to do wut live cd? | 10:35 |
| paulowsky | Oprtz: press Alt+ctrl+f1 tell me what happens | 10:35 |
| Oprtz | PaulMooney: screen tuned black | 10:35 |
| pdonor | HUN? | 10:35 |
| dromer | bazhang: hmm, if I kill mpd it does work :/ | 10:36 |
| unop | n2j3, if you want it to be linked to somewhere in tmp. touch /tmp/.bash_history; ln -s /tmp/.bash_history ~/.bash_history | 10:36 |
| paulowsky | bazhang: you have to check if the system is frozen, or its just a gnome startup issue first | 10:36 |
| bazhang | dromer: seems that mpd does not play nice with the other apps | 10:36 |
| dromer | but mpd should be able to run side by side any video-app :/ | 10:36 |
| pdonor | lol bazhang! D állat | 10:36 |
| n2j3 | thanks unop | 10:36 |

| bazhang | ah thanks Amaranth; was I wrong to call ops on that? | 10:38 |
| unop | n2j3, remove ~/.bash_history first :) | 10:38 |
| Falcon846 | my live cd is stopping 3 bars in. i hav read up on the problem, but still hav no idea what to do | 10:38 |
| Amaranth | bazhang: You will be if you call next time it works like that :P | 10:38 |
| gan | unop, now also i getting the same error " system halted" | 10:38 |
| bazhang | my apologies Amaranth | 10:38 |
| Amaranth | bazhang: Eh, now you know :) | 10:39 |
| unop | gan, i'm not sure what's happening there | 10:39 |
| bazhang | okay thanks Amaranth | 10:39 |
| n2j3 | phew, worked now unop , i'm so thick :s | 10:39 |
| n2j3 | thanks a bunch | 10:39 |
| Lamego | is the any option to pass a parameter from the boot kernel line to a startup script ? | 10:39 |
| Oprtz | think u guys are busy | 10:39 |
| bazhang | sorry not to notice sooner crdlb | 10:40 |
| gan | unop, you tell me if i run the init 0 "which script is running tell" | 10:40 |
| Oprtz | will try to ask from some other channel :( | 10:40 |
| unop | gan, maybe. shutdown -P -h now #? | 10:40 |
| Amaranth | bazhang: I just learned about that feature today too | 10:40 |
| Falcon846 | not that i know of, its my first time using linux | 10:40 |
| bazhang | okay thanks | 10:40 |
| gan | unop, sorry the same error | 10:41 |
| unop | gan, it's not exactly a script - init does the work there and changes the runlevel | 10:41 |
| gan | unop, yeah you are correct under runlevel which script what input it is taking | 10:41 |
| unop | gan, init the command, is actually an executable (/sbin/init) and it acts on process 1 - it takes the parameters you give it, it does not call anything else (iirc) | 10:43 |
| Falcon846 | does anybody know how to get the live cd to stop freezing at 3 bars? | 10:43 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: this is a dual boot? | 10:44 |
| xukun | hi all | 10:44 |
| Falcon846 | yes | 10:44 |
| Falcon846 | its with xp | 10:45 |
| unop | gan, you could ask about this in #linux or perhaps even #debian - maybe they know better (just don't tell the #debian folks you run ubuntu when asking about this) | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: have you checked the md5 sum for that iso file? also what speed did you burn it at | 10:45 |
| xukun | is there somebody here which has an experience about ps3 and ubuntu? | 10:45 |
| Falcon846 | i ordered the cd from shipit | 10:45 |
| hirak99 | hi, looking for a good terminal IM client in case anybody uses one | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: you able to use the terminal (command line) at all? | 10:46 |
| saminthemiddle | hello everyone | 10:46 |
| bwayne | xukun: a friend of mine and I attempted to install it, but it was unusable. | 10:46 |
| Falcon846 | is that when you press f6 before selecting to install and see the boot options? | 10:47 |
| xukun | bwayne, hmm really? that is too bad. I was thinking to get one and install ubuntu on it so I can play hd 1080p content with it | 10:48 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: aye; could you add acpi=off to that boot parameter? | 10:48 |
| Falcon846 | right before the --? | 10:49 |
| saminthemiddle | Is anyone other than me concerned that Ubuntu 8.04 is going to ship with Firefox 3 Beta 4? I'm a bit nervous about beta code being integrated into a production platform. | 10:52 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: you should also remove quiet as a boot parameter so we can see the options; a simpler option (if you are not on dialup) would be to get the alternate cd and install from that--it does well when the livecd chokes | 10:52 |
| J-_ | I'm running Dapper on my server, and I just enabled mod_rewrite but I just tried to test it with my Drupal install it doesn't work. Do I need to create a .htaccess first to see if it works? | 10:52 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for hardy discussion thanks | 10:52 |
| === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP | ||
| unop | J-_, you don't need a htaccess file for mod_rewrite .. and what do you mean "it doesn't work" what have you tried so far? | 10:52 |
| Falcon846 | bazhang: dono if i typed it in the right place, but it is still getting stuck | 10:52 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: did you remove quiet as well? so we can see what errors it is getting? | 10:53 |
| Falcon846 | removing now | 10:54 |
| bazhang | Falcon846: I have to head out; this is not a terribly difficult problem to solve--you might mention about the alternate cd to whomever helps you next | 10:54 |

| beni_f | is there any way to "grep" stderr ? | 11:06 |
| PaulMooney | beni_f: I don't think so. wouldn't searching the system logs work for you? | 11:08 |
| beni_f | PaulMooney, nope.. I need to get the details of a video via ffmpeg | 11:08 |
| beni_f | and ffmpeg is not grep'able in some crazy kind of way | 11:08 |
| geirha | beni_f: adding 2>&1 behind a command will direct stderr to stdout, so you can grep ... | 11:09 |
| PaulMooney | cool... could redirect to a file also if that would be better for you... | 11:10 |
| beni_f | geirha, oh thank you thats what i searched for | 11:10 |
| beni_f | PaulMooney, thanks to you too! | 11:10 |

| Jezz | what is the easiest way to set up a VPN server with ubuntu? | 11:12 |
| Jezz | im quite new to linux | 11:12 |
| beni_f | !openvpn | Jerzz | 11:13 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about openvpn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:13 |
| saminthemiddle | Jezz: the easiest way is to replace your router with a VPN/Router | 11:13 |
| Angel-SL | o_O | 11:13 |
| Namibian | hello #ubuntu, i was wondering if anyone is nice enough to help me install nvidia drivers on my debian lenny box. Ive been trying to get it to work after 5 days now. thanks | 11:13 |
| geirha | !vpn | Jezz | 11:13 |
| ubotu | Jezz: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD | 11:13 |
| saminthemiddle | Jezz: the problem with most VPN protocols is that they don't like IP masquerading AT ALL | 11:13 |
| Jezz | i tried to install openvpn but i cant find it | 11:14 |
| Namibian | anyone? :( | 11:15 |
| saminthemiddle | Jezz: that's one of them that doesn't like being masqueraded, if you're behind a firewall it won't work | 11:15 |
| tarelerulz | any of you hear of coccinella ? | 11:15 |
| FloodBot3 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 11:15 |
| saminthemiddle | Namibian: it's been several years since I used Debian w/ Nvidia cards, but IIRC you need to use the driver supplied from NVIDIA not the one from the repos | 11:16 |
| CK_MY | which ftp server has GUI ? | 11:16 |
| saminthemiddle | Namibian: mind you, I said it's been several years since I did it, so things have probably changed... | 11:16 |
| Jezz | so i installed pptpd | 11:17 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: ftp servers have GUIs? | 11:17 |
| Jezz | File: /etc/ppp/options < i have to delete everything in here and only type lock and #debug? | 11:17 |
| Jezz | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD | 11:17 |
| Namibian | Saminthemiddle: thanks for replying, Ive tried numerous steps already - particularly the Debian way and all of the time it resulted in total disaster, dependency problems, incompatibility with kernel, nonbootable system, | 11:17 |
| Jezz | srry im very new to linux | 11:17 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, i dont know , that why i ask | 11:17 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: if you're trying to use FTP just for personal use, try using SSH, you can transfer files over SSH and it's encrypted (unlike FTP) | 11:18 |
| dev1 | <Namibian> look for private msg | 11:18 |
| Jezz | uh | 11:19 |
| Jezz | why cant i save that file? | 11:19 |
| Namibian | dev1: i am using irssi - i am not sure how to see pms here *blushes* | 11:19 |
| saminthemiddle | Namibian: then it hasn't changed a bit ;-) Try using the Nvidia binary installer again; that's all I can help. I'm using Ubuntu now and besides, I have an Intel GMA card now :-P | 11:19 |
| Jezz | so how can i open a text file with sudo rights :s | 11:19 |
| Jezz | or root dunno what its called | 11:19 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, wat is ssh ? sorry i new to linux , just started using ubuntu 3 day | 11:19 |
| Namibian | saminthemiddle: ok, wow its been that long and they dont want 3d graphics to work on lenny, that is just sad - anyway thanks, thought id ask here since you guys are friendlier | 11:20 |
| Jezz | Could not save the file /etc/ppp/options. | 11:20 |
| Jezz | how can i save a text file :O | 11:20 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: yay! converts! SSH is the secure shell. It's usually used to log in remotely to another computer's command line. But it can also be used to tunnel traffic adding an encryption layer to your communications as well as provide a convenient and secure (for trusted users) file sharing protocol | 11:21 |
| saminthemiddle | Namibian: no kidding, the people at #Debian are a right nasty lot to anyone with a skill level less than "developer" | 11:22 |
| PaulMooney | ssh! | 11:22 |
| geirha | Jezz: sudo youreditor file_to_edit.conf # save your changes to /tmp/ if you don't have root-permissions, then copy it in place with sudo | 11:22 |
| Jezz | 0_0 | 11:23 |
| Jezz | lol i think maybe its easier to set up a 2003 server for vpn connections :o | 11:23 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, any software ? putty ? | 11:23 |
| Namibian | saminthemiddle: i didn't even mention the channel lol | 11:23 |
| Jezz | isnt there a graphical way to make a vpn server on ubuntu? | 11:23 |
| PaulMooney | saminthemiddle: is it right to say there's a significant bandwidth decrese with ssh b/c of the encryption | 11:23 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: the problem with SSH is that when you log into the file transfer it drops the user in the root directory (/), which could be a security problem as you have to make sure that your permissions are set up right if you are not the only one using it. I would recommend that you set it up with just the SSH if you just want it for personal use. If you want to allow other people to use it too and you don't trust them enough to | 11:24 |
| saminthemiddle | have full access to your computer, consider tunneling FTP though an SSH tunnel. | 11:24 |
| PaulMooney | even on my work lan, i find it slow to transfer w/ scp | 11:24 |
| geirha | Jezz: if you are more familiar with windows, then that's probably better. vpn-client is much easier to set up in ubuntu | 11:24 |
| unop_ | PaulMooney, why would bandwidth decrease because of encryption? no | 11:24 |
| Jezz | oh | 11:24 |
| Jezz | i guess so | 11:24 |
| saminthemiddle | PaulMooney: I don't notice a bandwidth decrease with relatively recent hardware | 11:24 |
| PaulMooney | unop: because there are extra packets to be sent? | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | unop_: becouse you hit cpu bottleneck some ciphers are cpu intensive | 11:25 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, actually my purpose want to tranfer file between office and home only , so which is the best suggestion ? | 11:25 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY, if Putty is the Windows SSH client, then yes, you need it. Windows doesn't understand SSH natively (but Linux and OSX do) | 11:25 |
| unop_ | PaulMooney, even with extra packets bandwidth doesn't decrease - the time taken to do something over the pipe might increase tho, is that what you mean? | 11:25 |
| unop_ | erUSUL, that doesn't affect bandwidth tho. | 11:25 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: to answer your original quesiton, gftp | 11:25 |
| PaulMooney | I believe... | 11:25 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: correction, gftpd | 11:26 |
| CK_MY | PaulMooney, that ftpserver has GUI ? | 11:26 |
| PaulMooney | yes | 11:26 |
| CK_MY | PaulMooney, apt-get cant get | 11:26 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY, definitely go with SSH; between office and home means that you are going to be traversing public net with private data. If you don't encrypt it every sysadmin, hacker, and his dog will be able to read your files. And FTP doesn't encrypt | 11:27 |
| PaulMooney | ::looking:: | 11:28 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, in linux wat i should use ? putty ? | 11:28 |
| CK_MY | PaulMooney, thanks i will try if ssh not work for me ^.^ | 11:28 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: Linux understands SSH quite well, just "connect to server" under Gnome and it opens it like (almost) any other folder | 11:28 |
| PaulMooney | unop: if your cpu is the bottleneck... it would mean the system networking is idling waiting on the cpu... | 11:29 |
| Namibian | dev1: got your pm, thanks sir, i am using lenny btw | 11:29 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY; and remember, pick a strong password. SSH allows anyone to log into your computer provided they have the proper passwords | 11:29 |
| pbne | is there any ubuntu release running kernel version 2.4.x? | 11:30 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: ssh should be installed already (client basically). to enable sshd, install sshd.... or openssh as it might be called in the repos.... | 11:30 |
| pbne | *are | 11:30 |
| === GPB is now known as LSG | ||
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY; at the very least you can just turn on the SSH daemon and forget about it. That will work. However I recommend taking a couple extra precautions. | 11:30 |
| unop_ | PaulMooney, and that affects bandwidth how? it still is the same whatever your CPU. memory or harddisks do - do you mean latency instead of bandwidth? | 11:30 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, so wat i need to install on windows? | 11:31 |
| PaulMooney | unop: the end result being slower transfer.... | 11:31 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: For example, I would recommend forbidding any of your regular accounts from logging in and creating a special user for the SSH transmitions (with a unique password). Make a folder that both the normal user and the SSH guest user can access and make it a kind of "shared folder" folder. That prevents hackers from messing up your home should they break in | 11:31 |
| artenius | black screen on login.. any ideas? | 11:32 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: you want the server to be on Windows, or the client on Windows. If you want the client on Windows, I think putty will work. | 11:32 |
| PaulMooney | unop: I believe the word I need is "throughput", as I've seen used in testing new 802.11n configs | 11:32 |
| Jizzo|work | Irc question: How does one link the persons name in his message when your replying to them, without actually typing it over? | 11:32 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, linux for server , windows for client | 11:33 |
| erUSUL | !tab | Jizzo|work | 11:33 |
| ubotu | Jizzo|work: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 11:33 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: if you like extra work then the more secure way of doing it (but not by much) would be to disable SSH logins and tunnel FTP though SSH. Even more secure would be to run the SSH daemon in a chroot jail but that's just getting paranoid. If you have strong passwords you should be fine ;-) | 11:33 |
| PaulMooney | Jizzo|work: I'm on xchat, so it's tab for me. it depends on what client you are using | 11:33 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: Putty will work fine then | 11:33 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: and consider turning on Ubuntu's firewall. Block all incoming packet on the 22 port (that's SSH) except from the IP and Mac address that your work computer uses. This will prevent just anyone from accessing the daemon and help increase security if your password should be leaked or broken. Also you can use the firewall to close the port off completely during non-business hours :-) | 11:35 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: if your password is leaked when you are using an SSH daemon you have a Very Big Problem (tm) | 11:35 |
| lorrs | Is there a package directory for Ubuntu like this one http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages for Debian? | 11:36 |
| CK_MY | ok i will try | 11:37 |
| CK_MY | thanks saminthemiddle | 11:37 |
| artenius | black screen on login attempt, any ideas what the problem is ? | 11:37 |
| lorrs | I have found http://packages.ubuntu.com/ with Google. I didn't find this URL on http://www.ubuntu.com/. Is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ dead? | 11:38 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY; you're welcome. And try not to become as paranoid as I am :-) | 11:38 |
| unop_ | lorrs, it seems to be | 11:38 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: but stay vigilant | 11:38 |
| damo22 | does the current version of gtkpod work with the latest ipods? | 11:38 |
| lorrs | unop_: :-/ | 11:39 |
| PaulMooney | that was a lot of good advice. I'm trying to remember it lol | 11:39 |
| kane77 | is it possible to have two keyboards connected, but they would have different layouts? | 11:39 |
| z3ld | hi to all | 11:39 |
| artenius | unop_: I know you know how to solve a black screen when logging in.. :) | 11:39 |
| b4l74z4r | does anyone know of a mp3/song announcer for rhythmbox and konversation, or would such a script be impossible given that rhythmbox is gnome and konversation is kde? | 11:39 |
| saminthemiddle | kane77: I don't think so. why don't you try the little keyboard switcher on the dock? | 11:40 |
| unop_ | PaulMooney, throughput has different meanings depending on which layer of networking you refer to. at the network layer, throughput is unaffected by encryption, but network applications are | 11:40 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, i will try , but it seem quite hard to to set\ | 11:40 |
| Falcon846 | Hi, can anyone help me out with a live cd boot problem | 11:40 |
| CK_MY | configure | 11:40 |
| GNU\colossus | b4l74z4r: impossible is nothing ;) | 11:40 |
| b4l74z4r | :) | 11:40 |
| unop_ | artenius, tell us more about what you see. | 11:40 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: the firewall? yeah, it's easy once you know how. It's the learning how that's the bugger | 11:40 |
| binarical-app | what is the kubuntu equivialnt to "kill" , where would i find the "system control" | 11:40 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: I found it on my ftp. the program name is groftpd | 11:40 |
| artenius | unop_: the screen just goes black when you try to login | 11:40 |
| kane77 | saminthemiddle, heh.. yes well I use the keyboard switcher, but I want to have regular layout and then dvorak | 11:41 |
| unop_ | lorrs, you can still use apt-cache and dpkg to do what packages.ubuntu.com does. 'apt-cache search package' and 'dpkg -S file' | 11:41 |
| CK_MY | PaulMooney, groftpd has GUI too ? | 11:41 |
| tarelerulz | Do you know of any chat client that supports gtalk's voice chat protocol jingle ? | 11:41 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, because for me it quite hard for me | 11:41 |
| Falcon846 | does anyone know why my boot is getting stuck on loading hardware drivers | 11:41 |
| unop_ | artenius, so the login screen is fine? you see that alright? | 11:41 |
| saminthemiddle | kane77: I do that :-) I have a dvorak keyboard as the default and I have the switcher up there for when I need regular | 11:41 |
| === te_ is now known as qed | ||

| icesword | hello | 11:41 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, im windows user 5year _ | 11:41 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: gui* yeesh... | 11:42 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: I see, well, read up on it, it's not so hard once you get un-scared | 11:42 |
| binarical-app | im sorry, i must have come to wrong chat, thanks pajamian | 11:42 |
| kane77 | saminthemiddle, ok, I just thought that it would be possible to have one physical keyboard dvorak and one regular... | 11:42 |
| unop_ | artenius, do you have another user you can logon as? | 11:43 |
| lorrs | unop_: I am using Debian at the moment. Is there something like http://ftp.debian.org/dists/ for Ubuntu? | 11:43 |
| artenius | unop_: no | 11:43 |
| icesword | lorrs, what you want | 11:43 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY, PaulMooney, please don't use FTP on a public net like that, you're asking for very bad things to happen to you. For one thing FTP doesn't even encrypt the password so someone could say: sniff your password, replace one of your files with a trojan which when opened installs a rootkit which opens a reverse tunnel console to the hacker leading to a root-level exploit with full console control | 11:44 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, u have any good site for SSH ? | 11:44 |
| Falcon846 | please, could someone help me | 11:44 |
| saminthemiddle | kane77: I have wanted a hardware key scrambler for years so I could (more easily) use a Dvorak keymap on public terminals | 11:44 |
| icesword | lorrs, my debian sid is broken | 11:45 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: sorry, but SSH itself is really easy to set up (you just turn it on, most of the time) | 11:45 |
| lorrs | icesword: I want to now which version of fvwm are available in the official releases of Ubuntu. That's all. Getting this information shouldn't be a pain in the ass. | 11:45 |
| lorrs | icesword: And I don't want to install Ubuntu to get this information. | 11:45 |
| unop_ | artenius, what you'll need to do is drop to a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1), log in and create a new user with this command. sudo adduser newuser # then get back to the login screen (CTRL+ALT+F7), login with that user and run this command. sudo -u user gnome-display-properties # set a good resolution, log out and log back in with the usual user | 11:45 |
| icesword | lorrs, ahhhhh,sorry then | 11:46 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, where to enable ? it install by default ? | 11:46 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: google for "hardened SSH" or "hardened linux" and look for the sections involving SSH. And before you take any of the advice: make sure you understand what you are doing, if the document doesn't explain what the tweaks do, don't follow that document | 11:46 |
| pajamian | FTP is actually a lot harder to properly configure than SFTP | 11:46 |
| unop_ | lorrs, for which distro? gutsy? | 11:46 |
| lorrs | unop_: The current stable and the last stable. | 11:46 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY, oh, I understand, you want to turn it on. You need to turn it on from the "services" menu in Gnome. Or you could add it to your rc.scripts (which is what the Gnome app does anyway IIRC) | 11:47 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY, just use the GUI ;-) | 11:47 |

| Lifeisfunny | iceword, clicking on fvwm in synaptic gives someone a list of .... gdk-imlib11 ... imlib-base ... librplay3 ... libstroke0 | 11:50 |
| saminthemiddle | GNU\colossus: I see, that works just as well. If less elegant... | 11:51 |
| saminthemiddle | unop_ okay, in that case it's fine. | 11:51 |
| PaulMooney | saminthemiddle: GNU\colossus, CK_MY: I didn't have to do all that to enable it.... I just sudo apt-get install ssh | 11:52 |
| PaulMooney | it did everything else automatically | 11:52 |
| saminthemiddle | PaulMooney, CK_MY, GNU\colossus, in that case, just install it and test to make sure it works ;-) | 11:53 |
| CK_MY | i installed openssh | 11:53 |
| root0 | does anyone know anything about systemimager? | 11:53 |
| PaulMooney | right | 11:53 |
| GNU\colossus | PaulMooney: debian has a habit of automatically (re)starting daemons upon install | 11:53 |
| CK_MY | what i can do now ? | 11:53 |
| pajamian | ssh-server is enabled by default in ubuntu | 11:53 |
| alanbshepard70 | Is there any way to automatically mark all packages installed that aren't installed by default for removal? Also for another system I want to make it bare bones so is there a list some where of all the default installed packages that can be safely removed and also the ones that are critical? | 11:53 |
| GNU\colossus | and also adding it to the default runlevel | 11:53 |
| PaulMooney | pajamian: I've always had to install the daemon | 11:54 |
| PaulMooney | ssh the client is there by default... | 11:54 |
| pajamian | PaulMooney: right | 11:54 |
| CK_MY | but i installed openssh , how to configure? | 11:54 |
| GNU\colossus | CK_MY: man sshd_config | 11:54 |
| pajamian | PaulMooney: I meant that it's active once you install it by default | 11:54 |
| Jowi | CK_MY: install openssh-server package. config file is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 11:54 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: right. it is on already tho. it is useable now... just not hardened more than the default settings | 11:55 |
| unop | CK_MY, also. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow openssh-server | 11:55 |
| pajamian | just: sudo apt-get install ssh | 11:55 |
| pajamian | you'll get everything you need | 11:55 |
| babo | how do i import an image into a folder created by apache that doesn't have write access ? | 11:56 |
| alanbshepard70 | Is there a way to force a program to always open at a low priority level so it won't hog cpu time if I want it to just be quietly running in the background. | 11:56 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: you're transfering from work to home? so you installed openssh on the work pc? from the windows home pc you can use putty to login (via the default settings) | 11:56 |
| unop | babo, whatever way you intend to use, that folder needs write access | 11:57 |
| CK_MY | home windows , office linux | 11:57 |
| pajamian | alanbshepard70: just prefix the command name with nice in the launcher | 11:57 |
| babo | unop: right. the folder doesn't have write access for anyone but apache ... | 11:57 |
| artenius | unop: when I type sudo -u user gnome-display-properties should "user" be the new user I added or the word user? | 11:57 |
| unop | alanbshepard70, nice -n 20 command | 11:57 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: you want to make transfers. psftp? (part of the putty suite) can do transfers... just that I find I have to run that program from DOS. I use winSCP(sp?) for ssh transfers to a windows client... | 11:58 |
| alanbshepard70 | Thanks pajamian and unop | 11:58 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: PaulMooney: wait, your WORK PC is the one with Linux! Cool! Also, make sure that running an SSH daemon is okay with your boss, and SSH daemon is considered a major serurity breach in corporate nets. Also, the corporate net might block the service too... | 11:58 |
| unop | artenius, 'user' there is your usual user, your actual username | 11:58 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: is port 22 open to this work computer? (it's usually the case that it isn't) | 11:58 |
| artenius | unop: ok so not the second one I created | 11:58 |
| saminthemiddle | PaulMooney CK_MY, more importantly, is ANY port open. you can always change the default port | 11:59 |
| PaulMooney | CK_MY: true | 11:59 |
| unop | babo, you can use sudo to log on as the apache user, it's www-data by default so. sudo -u www-data # and then go about copying the file, etc | 11:59 |
| pajamian | CK_MY: you will probably have to forward a port from the router. | 11:59 |
| saminthemiddle | PaulMooney CK_MY, technically CK could use a reverse tunnel and run SSH though that if no ports are open. but that's normally a big "you're fired" action | 11:59 |
| unop | artenius, no, not the one you created, because you aren't modifying display properties for that user, but for the user that is having difficulties | 11:59 |
| babo | unop: i'm not root and i don't have shell access | 12:00 |
| artenius | unop: I got ya, ok | 12:00 |

| EuRoPeAn | nu este nimeni ce stie savorbeasca romineste noai niguna tia ke abla espaniola | 12:00 |
| unop | babo, i don't see any other way around this then, you need some kind of write access to that folder | 12:01 |

| PaulMooney | you guys have everything covered here. I'm going back to reading | 12:02 |
| unop | babo, if you don't have shell access, what kind of user are you on the system? how do you access the system? | 12:02 |
| pajamian | CK_MY: you will probably have to talk to the IT dept at work and ask them to forward a port to port 22 on your workstation. | 12:02 |
| sivel27 | hello all | 12:02 |
| CK_MY | pajamian, forward on router? | 12:02 |
| sivel27 | any one figure out how to make usb headphones work with a laptop? | 12:02 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY, personally, I'm amazed that you have root access to your work machine! | 12:03 |
| pajamian | CK_MY: well, it depends, of course, if your wrok computer is behind a NAT network, then yes. Otherwise they just need to poke a hole in the firewall for you. | 12:03 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, sure i have root access on my machine | 12:04 |
| saminthemiddle | pajamian: by "poke a hole" are you perchance referring to a reverse-tunnel? :_P | 12:04 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: nope | 12:04 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY | 12:04 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: I just mean if he has a public IP address assigned directly to his workstation they will probably have it behind a firewall and will need to open up the port. | 12:04 |
| saminthemiddle | CK_MY: that's just odd, usually root is reserved for admins | 12:05 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: otherwise it's likely behind a NAT router and they will have to forward the port from the router. | 12:05 |
| saminthemiddle | pajamian: or he could "poke a hole" as you put it ;-) | 12:05 |

| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, here not only 1 pc using linux | 12:05 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: they may give him root on his workstation, but I doubt they give him access to the company router/firewall | 12:05 |

| simplechat | hey | 12:06 |
| simplechat | i'm trying to install ubuntu on my epc | 12:06 |
| CK_MY | saminthemiddle, ok ... any way thanks | 12:06 |
| simplechat | i ran through the usb installer guide on the wiki | 12:06 |
| saminthemiddle | pajamian, technically, giving workers root access to workstations is still a bad idea. You end up with holes in your net. And remember that workstations, too, carry sensitive data. | 12:06 |
| CK_MY | i need to go back cya | 12:06 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: are you saying you can login to your work PC with putty? in that case you have a decent ssh connection and you just need a program that supports SFTP (one I know of is FileZilla) | 12:07 |
| simplechat | but when i booted ubuntu, all it says is "/casper/vmlinuz" | 12:07 |
| simplechat | whenever i select an option | 12:07 |
| unop | babo, your only option is to get the FTP servers administrator to give you the right permissions otherwise what you are attempting to do is compromise the ftp server. | 12:07 |
| simplechat | what on earth would do that? | 12:07 |
| saminthemiddle | pajamian: you meant to send that to CK_MY | 12:07 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: I don't disagree, but if they do they do. | 12:07 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: yes, I did... | 12:07 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: bah, nm, he left | 12:07 |
| simplechat | casper/vmlinuz is an empty file now | 12:08 |
| saminthemiddle | pajamian: yup. I knew a guy who used to admin a computer that listened to the phone lines of a DOD building to listen for modems. You can bet that those workers didn't have root access ;-) | 12:08 |
| pajamian | saminthemiddle: yeah, but most businesses aren't as security consious as the DOD | 12:09 |
| unop | logging on a machine as root even with ssh is not generally a good security practice. | 12:09 |
| pajamian | unop: I don't think we were actually recommending that. | 12:10 |
| unop | pajamian, i didn't say you were :) | 12:10 |
| pajamian | unop: and I agree, I only log onto remote boxes as a user account, I can always get root with sudo (or sometimes su) | 12:10 |

| figuringout | Jizzo|work : i can. but I don't want to. thanks anyway? i was just reading about nvu. any good? | 12:29 |

| Juzzy` | unop but I don't want to un-chroot the ftp root because it'll expose other files | 12:29 |

| unop | Juzzy`, symlinks wont work there, but bound volumes should, perhaps you have a permissions problem there, have you ruled that out | 12:30 |
| DJones | figuringout: Did you say you were looking for a frontpage clone? I've missed the start of your question so I could be completely on the wrong track | 12:30 |

| Smegzor | I have heard that in linux (ext3) it is possible to resize a partition with no data loss. Is this true? I want to double my swap from 4 gigs to 8 gigs by taking 4 gigs away from my home partition. I have more than 4 gigs free in home. | 12:49 |

| Smegzor | I run VirtualBox so XP gets 2 gigs and linux gets the rest | 12:52 |
| GNU\colossus | that's perfectly fine for just about anything you want to do | 12:53 |
| hischild | Limano, if you need java to run it then look at that page. Should contain all the info you need. I don't use java myself so i can't really help there. | 12:53 |

| Kanniball | unop_: nop, just a regular ssh session (I need to resize the partition) | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | s_, one normally resizes the windows partition, creating a new partition, and install linix to the new partition | 13:12 |
| Pici | s_: Also, you probably want to defrag your windows partition before resizing it. | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | s_, you have only a 15gb hard drive? | 13:12 |
| s_ | i have more | 13:12 |

| Pici | Dani__: But we only support Ubuntu, not 'random unknown distros' | 13:27 |
| Lamego | Dani__, because your question is not about Ubuntu in particular, you don't even seem to know what distro you are using | 13:27 |
| Dr_willis | Dani__, check your disrtos docs/package manager.. install the needed packages. | 13:27 |
| Dr_willis | ask a vague question. get a vague answer. :) | 13:27 |
| Dani__ | but the same solution may apply | 13:27 |

| Pici | Dani__: Exactly. | 13:28 |
| Lamego | Dani__, or it may not | 13:28 |

Is there anything I should check that could be causing this? | 13:30 |

| Dr_willis | aoupi, Not sure. :) you could start moving stuff to some .backup_configs dir and see which does it. I would start with the .gtk* dirs | 13:49 |

| aoupi | Dr_willis: ok, I'll play around a bit :) | 13:49 |
| Dr_willis | joep, just because they have it does not make it 'standard linux' command. They have a lot of other customized utilities that are not in the varioys debian related disrtos. | 13:50 |
| raboof | hischild: not really. imho removing the feature was a temporary fix to a practical problem | 13:50 |
| crdlb | raboof: you could ask in #ubuntu-bugs | 13:50 |
| raboof | hischild: there could well be another way to solve the problem, which doesn't require removing the feature | 13:50 |
| hischild | raboof, i quote from tapas at comment 11 "this is not a bug but broken by design." | 13:50 |
| hischild | raboof, also, offtopic | 13:50 |

| erUSUL | Dr_willis: why update the rc directory links → update-rc.d ;P | 13:53 |
| Wyvern| | Hey, does anyone know how I can get a cron job to run more frequently than once per hour? | 13:53 |
| joep | unop_: You mean sysvconfig is a replacement for chkconfig? | 13:54 |
| unop_ | joep, there's a reasons things are different, the difference is one of the reasons the distros are set apart. | 13:54 |
| daro | Why does linux/ubuntu have software packs that don't have all the needed files for the installation, why not just give all software packs the needed files? I am talking about Skype specifically | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | erUSUL, yea.. lets put dashes AND dots in command names! heh | 13:54 |
| hischild | joep, use apt-get and it should feel quite alike to yum. | 13:54 |
| unop_ | joep, i believe the RH based distros have a 'service' command .. if you install the sysvconfig package you get it .. otherwise update-rc.d is the preferred way to control services | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | daro, skype is not exactly under the controll of ubuntu. so that may be the issue with skype. | 13:55 |

| psycoman | how can i enable XShm extension in xorg? or it will builtin ? | 13:56 |
| Dr_willis | psycoman, you edit the xorg.conf and put in the proper options.. (and no i dont rember them) | 13:57 |
| maek | Dr_willis, not everything you want is in the repos | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | maek, so? | 13:57 |
| daro | Is there a way of installing skype on Ubuntu, because I downloaded a .tar.gz file from Skype but when I try to install it it tells me that it doesn't have all the dependencies | 13:57 |
| kinetic_ | skype has a deb | 13:57 |
| unop | joep, sorry, what is MSW? | 13:57 |
| kinetic_ | just not in repo | 13:57 |
| maek | compiling from source is painful | 13:58 |
| daro | kinetic_ where can I find this .deb package because in www.skype.com I dont find it anywhere | 13:58 |
| Ehlyah | in need of help. Desktop with ubuntu won't connect to internet. Drivers were installed with ndiswrapper and wlan0 exists, but isn't detected by network monitor | 13:58 |
| DJones | !skype | daro | 13:58 |
| ubotu | daro: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 13:58 |
| hischild | maek, everything i want is in the repo's | 13:58 |
| daro | !skype | 13:58 |
| Dr_willis | daro, you dont get the auto-dependencies isntalled with single deb file installation. thats why apt-get and the repoitory system exists. | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | if you download a single deb. you are taking responsibility to find all the needed dependencies. | 13:59 |
| maek | dependencies are crap ... | 13:59 |
| kinetic_ | cool, they have a repo for skype now | 13:59 |
| checkers | hi, what's the default file manager in ubuntu called? | 13:59 |
| maek | it should be all in the OS | 13:59 |
| kinetic_ | nautilus | 14:00 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, .deb's do install dependencies for me | 14:00 |
| joep | unop: Short for MicroSoftWindows (the worst OS ever!). | 14:00 |
| hischild | checkers, nautilus | 14:00 |
| maek | checkers, nautilus | 14:00 |
| kinetic_ | checkers: nautilus | 14:00 |
| checkers | thanks, will it be the same in 8.04? | 14:00 |
| unop | maek, dependencies make the world go round they're good | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | hischild, oh? how ya managing that? | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | i rarely ever get a single .deb :) | 14:00 |
| maek | yeah and a lot better version checkers | 14:00 |
| * Ehlyah spams her question some more | 14:00 | |
| Ehlyah | in need of help. Desktop with ubuntu won't connect to internet. Drivers were installed with ndiswrapper and wlan0 exists, but isn't detected by network monitor | 14:00 |
| joep | checkers: The default is nautilus. If you want to run it under root don't forget to use xhost +. | 14:00 |
| kinetic_ | .deb's do not handle dependencies..apt does | 14:00 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, well i got a deb once that i needed, and it said to me that it needed to get 47 dependencies. So i hit install, type password, hit install again, it dl'd the dependencies and voila | 14:01 |
| === kinetic_ is now known as Kinetic | ||
| unop | joep, i don't know what you mean by that but the great thing is you can customize everything pretty much to your needs. | 14:01 |
| maek | in windows theres no dependencies | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | hischild, 'hit install' You mean you used the GUI tools.. not 'dpkg' | 14:01 |
| maek | its all in the OS | 14:01 |
| Kinetic | maek : not true | 14:01 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, true | 14:01 |
| unop | maek, there are, you just don't see them | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | maek, thats 100% wrong. | 14:01 |
| maek | except for .NET | 14:01 |
| Pici | daro, Dr_willis: gdebi will pull in needed dependencies from apt, dpkg will not. | 14:01 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, we're talking about .deb's, not about dpkg ;-) | 14:01 |
| unop | maek, dependencies are handled by the installers, it's all taken care of for you | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | hischild, you are talking about gdebi not .deb's :) | 14:02 |
| joep | unop: In WIndows??? Everything is hidden, error messages are meaningless, etc. I have given up on Windows >10 years ago and have never regretted it (especially as we have VMWARE{!). | 14:02 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, .exe like files are .deb's, which are both installed using GUI tools. dpkg is a command line tool for which windows has none. | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | so the question is.. is there a command line tool that will look at a .deb file and determine the needed dependences? | 14:03 |
| Dr_willis | hischild, thers some flaws with that logic.. :) but i will let it pass.. | 14:03 |
| itguru | I have to transfer a 600MB file, and I wish to use SCP to do it, but I do not want to sap all the bandwith of the link it's going to *remote office abroad with a 256k line* how can I make this transfer go slowly? | 14:03 |
| maek | but anyway as a whole the Linux community needs to come up with a good file type that will install software painlessly across all distros | 14:03 |
| Ehlyah | in need of help. Desktop with ubuntu won't connect to internet. Drivers were installed with ndiswrapper and wlan0 exists, but isn't detected by network monitor | 14:03 |
| joep | Dr_willis: IN fedora ther is: it's called yum. | 14:03 |
| Dr_willis | maek, go for it... | 14:03 |
| unop | joep, if you are implying that ubuntu behaves like windows in that respect, everyone in here will disagree :) | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis | Package management/software management is such a 'interesting' topic.. so many neat little things to look out for. | 14:04 |
| Kinetic | maek: across all distros..ill agree... but most major distros have really good package managing in place already | 14:04 |
| maek | lol Dr_willis all I know is MS basic | 14:04 |
| Kinetic | no mroe difficult than windows..just a different world | 14:04 |
| joep | maek: I have no experince with dpkg but RPM does a reasonably good job. You also can look up at smart, which tries to do what you want. | 14:04 |

| Ehlyah | my network exists when I type ifconfig and I can modify it in network settings, but I still can't connect. Help? | 14:06 |
| _Andrew | maek, They already do, Skype being a good example | 14:06 |
| Kinetic | maek just takes time... you'd be surprised how many vendors DO support linux that you dont know about | 14:06 |
| aoupi | Dr_willis: I moved all .gtk* files away and now it looks nice again, thanks :) | 14:06 |
| unop | maek, they can release their products as tarballs (which most do) and the various distros then make packages from the tarballs. | 14:07 |
| Kinetic | half the time you wont see the linux versions if you are coming froma windows box | 14:07 |
| benpicco | Hi, where can one enter the PMK key of a WPA encrypted wlan? | 14:07 |
| Kinetic | unless you dig | 14:07 |
| joep | unop: well, I'm a newbie in Ubuntu (with >15 years of Unix experience and all the graphic stuff that hides the real thing is in some respect a disaster as it doesn't give you the tools and the means to resolve problems in the interface between hardware and software. | 14:07 |
| psycoman | i dont find in google how to setup xshm module, some know how to enable it ? | 14:07 |

| Ehlyah | does CS3 work under wine? | 14:08 |
| hischild | Ehlyah, no | 14:08 |
| Ehlyah | fudge | 14:09 |
| maek | unop but its always open up to the terminal cd to the tarballs directory and input confusing commands to make the software install | 14:09 |
| unop | joep, if you have that much experience, you don't really need the graphical tools (thats really an excuse) - the CLI provides you pretty much the same means of troubleshooting across distros (unless you depend on disto-specific tools like chkconfig :) ) | 14:09 |
| * benpicco wonders weather and when UT3 will be released for linux | 14:09 | |
| alphakamp | I found a how to that says TF2 works under the latest wine, you need at least a 7 series card for it to work well though | 14:09 |
| maek | _Andrew, im just looking at things from the 3rd person rather from my point of view ... I can install anything in Linux no problems | 14:10 |
| _Andrew | I know portal and Half life 2 epsiode 2 work on wine | 14:10 |
| Kinetic | they still havne't released UT3 port? | 14:10 |
| hischild | not to ruin the fun for all you package discussion guys, but please take it to offtopic or somewhere else. | 14:10 |

| Kinetic | cedega is great..not "free" but i run anything i want to play on it...anything that doesnt work with cedega i dont want to play anyways | 14:11 |
| unop | maek, well, it's better than put everything into a graphical installer and you have no access to manipulate the package - it's the way you have the maximum outreach across distros -- and most of the popular products are packaged by distro maintainers | 14:11 |
| Jowi | Ehlyah: can you ping the gateway? | 14:11 |
| maek | but when a windows user comes across to Linux and they go to a website and download a tarball and double click on it and it doesn't do anything | 14:11 |
| _Andrew | Ehlyah, Is it a wired connection? | 14:11 |
| joep | unop: I agree to a certain level. The problem is that the distro's use the graphic tools to install all programs but don't explain exactly what they do. It is often like trying to fix your radio without an scheme. | 14:11 |
| Kinetic | maek: windows users still have to RTFM | 14:11 |

| _Andrew | hi | 14:17 |
| jack_spratt | ok, this is frustrating, 1233 users, many or most of whom have used ndiswrapper i imagine, none of whom are prepared to even aknowledge as much or give me a few simple replies | 14:17 |

| Jianjun-Kong | hello,Belkinhelp3 | 14:17 |
| Belkinhelp3 | im new to ubuntu...about 3 months old now | 14:17 |
| JaccoH | ok so who took packages.ubuntu.com down? come on.. admit :D | 14:17 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, You said something? | 14:17 |
| Jianjun-Kong | I have use ubuntu 2 years. | 14:17 |
| bazhang | jack_spratt: what simple reply did you wish? perhaps I can comply | 14:18 |
| Belkinhelp3 | 3 days ago i had a power outage that killed my system. I have another system to replace it | 14:18 |
| Dr_willis | simple reply = I dont use wireless.. sorry.. | 14:18 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 14:18 |
| jack_spratt | andrew; bazhang: thanks | 14:18 |
| unop_ | JaccoH, it's been that way for a couple of days now -- you can always use apt-cache and dpkg to do searching | 14:18 |
| Belkinhelp3 | my question is this, i have on the new system a raid controller for SATA | 14:18 |
| jrib | jack_spratt: if no one knows how to help you, no one will answer. Try again later or try the other !support options | 14:18 |
| alphakamp | jack_spratt: I would help you but I havent had to use ndiswrapper with my laptop, Fiesty got wireless working with restrited drivers module | 14:18 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, I'm looking for a question.. You didn't ask one | 14:18 |
| Belkinhelp3 | does anyone here notice a difference using a RAID SATA for Ubuntu | 14:18 |
| Belkinhelp3 | im mean, installing the Ubuntu OS onto the RAID | 14:19 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: i did, different times in different ways over the last hour | 14:19 |
| === PriceChild is now known as Pricey | ||
| jack_spratt | andrew: hang on | 14:19 |
| JaccoH | mm ok | 14:19 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Conversely, does Ubuntu have something similar to windows page file? Could that be set for RAID as well? | 14:20 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: basically all i want to ask is, when you have installed a ndiswrapper driver using the gui, how do you connect? | 14:20 |
| JaccoH | so is there a simple way to use/test the hardy kernel on gutsy? or do i have to risk upgrading? :) | 14:20 |
| alphakamp | Belkinhelp3: I havent done so but I dont see why SATA wouldnt provide an performacne increase over say, IDE | 14:20 |
| benpicco | Belkinhelp3: the swap partition | 14:20 |
| hischild | Belkinhelp3, it's called a swap file. I think you can do it as well on RAID. | 14:20 |
| jack_spratt | alphakamp: thanks for answering | 14:20 |
| Belkinhelp3 | And lastly, my original HD is still functional. Can i simply install it into another system and will Ubuntu recognize the new hardware accordingly or would I have to do a fresh install? | 14:20 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, ive had mixed luck with doing that.. depends on the exact hardware changes. | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, try it and see. :) whats it going to hurt. | 14:21 |
| jrib | jack_spratt: have you read the wiki page on wifi however? | 14:21 |
| jack_spratt | jrib: i think so, can you link? | 14:21 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Dr_willis....how about this then...install Ubuntu on the RAID then install the original drive...can I access it with a fresh version of Ubuntu? | 14:21 |
| jrib | !wifi > jack_spratt (read the private message from ubotu) | 14:22 |
| jack_spratt | jrib: i read the help pages associated with the apps | 14:22 |
| jack_spratt | jrib: ok | 14:22 |
| joep | unop: I've read the manpages on it but it is actually a wrapper application for easy maintaining the runlevels of the different applications. | 14:22 |
| unop_ | Belkinhelp3, i usually plug the new HDD in, boot up with a live CD chroot in and run this. sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-blah | 14:22 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Im really new at ubuntu and unsure. With windows i would know how to get the data | 14:22 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, You want to use your wifi? | 14:22 |
| unop_ | joep, so, what is missing that chkconfig provides? | 14:23 |
| benpicco | Belkinhelp3: if you want to do a fresh install and keep all your settings/personal data, just backpu your home folder | 14:23 |
| Belkinhelp3 | ok sounds good....linux-image-blah would be what then? | 14:23 |
| joep | I use for several years now Webmin, an application that gives a browser interface to many applications and I can do practically all maintenance with that tool. | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, with 'raid' i have found that way too many machines have cheap semi-software raid controllers. that are a pain to get going. Ive stopped using raid. | 14:23 |
| unop_ | Belkinhelp3, well, linux-image-<version_number> .. is a package | 14:23 |
| Belkinhelp3 | benpicco...ok...fresh install and then copy home folder onto the fresh install did i get the right? | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, i would keep linux on the non-raid drive to play with. :) | 14:24 |
| jader | #macapa | 14:24 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: yes | 14:24 |
| unop_ | !webmin | joep | 14:24 |
| ubotu | joep: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 14:24 |
| _Andrew | System->Admin->Network | 14:24 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, System->Admin->Network | 14:24 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: the card is supported in ndiswrapper, the driver is installed, the driver works on other distros | 14:24 |
| unop_ | joep, webmin works somewhat, but it's really not something you should rely on | 14:24 |
| benpicco | Belkinhelp3: You prophaly won't need to reinstall everything, but just in case you have to, that's the way you get the system in the same state you left it ;) | 14:24 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Dr_willis and all, where can i find information on performance for OS on RAID or just simply the page file on RAID? Id like to compare if someone has already done it | 14:24 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: ok, in there are only two options, modem and ethernet, i cant seem to add a wireles interface | 14:25 |
| benpicco | Belkinhelp3: as all personal configuration ist stored in your home | 14:25 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, Did you just install it? Maybe you need to restart before it shows up? | 14:25 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, thers a large varity of raid setups, and a larger varity of controllers and thenya got all sorts of other things to look out for. :) | 14:25 |
| unop_ | benpicco, Belkinhelp3 - it's not necessary that you do a complete reinstall - that would be a waste of your time | 14:25 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, Is your Wifi turned on? | 14:25 |
| Belkinhelp3 | benpicco...yes all personal data is in home folder | 14:25 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: it has been restarted, from cli 'ndiswrapper -l' shows device is present | 14:25 |
| === roger_ is now known as reneroger | ||
| jack_spratt | andrew: maybe i need ndiswrapper -m or something first?? | 14:26 |
| joep | ubotu: I didn't know that. That's bad news. Is there any reason for? and unop: I want to turn off ipv6 only and that is turned on somewhere in I thought IP-tables but of that I'm not sure. | 14:26 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Dr_willis...im just looking at RAID 0, lets call it striping because as far as I can tell there is no redundancy | 14:26 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: its pcmcia; no way to turn it on or off physically as far as i know if thats what you mean | 14:26 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, ive given up totally on raid. so cant help much. I dident find the gain worth the pain. | 14:27 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, Try restarting and going to System->Admin->Network | 14:27 |
| Belkinhelp3 | Dr_willis...software or hardware RAID? | 14:27 |
| jack_spratt | well ok, but itt has been restarted once since the driver was installed; you think i should restart again now? | 14:27 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, finding a total hardware raid. seems to bea bit hard these days. :) without spending more $$$ then i want. | 14:28 |
| Oprtz | hi there | 14:28 |
| Dr_willis | Belkinhelp3, then theres the total software route - that i hear under linux - works decently.. THEn ya got the cheap raid controllers on most MB;s that are semi-hardware... | 14:28 |

| damaltor | thanks | 14:29 |
| unop_ | joep, ubotu is the resident bot, it's not an actual person - to turn off ipv6, you need to change 'alias net-pf-10 ipv6 ' to 'alias net-pf-10 off' in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and reboot | 14:29 |

| fd12 | what is a good program that can make an image out of my current install and restore it when i want if i screw up later? | 14:30 |
| unop_ | joep, webmin is really the lazy man's tool -- it's not comprehensive enough to manage a system effectively (whether it be redhat or slackware or debian, etc) - it's bad for you :) | 14:30 |
| jack_spratt | _Andrew: just rereading it now | 14:31 |
| joep | unop: Sorry: I was talking to a robot!but thanks a lot. In Ubuntu a lot is very much different so this channel is a real help for getting answers. I have saved your answer. | 14:31 |
| Dallas | no one? | 14:31 |
| SyberJJ | anyone can help me out? i wanna isntall wine but it is listed "grey" in the add/remove software list | 14:32 |
| Dr_willis | joep, theres a free book on ubuntu - google for ubuntu training wiki. | 14:32 |
| bazhang | fd12: better to install a seperate home partition; that way you can screw up and then reinstall and all your private stuff will be saved; currently though (guessing you have not done this) you might try aptoncd, rsync, among other options | 14:32 |
| Dr_willis | joep, 300+ pages in pdf frmat | 14:32 |
| hischild | joep, Dr_willis, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training | 14:32 |
| bazhang | also accessed via the !training trigger | 14:33 |
| Dr_willis | Oh they FINIALLY added that factoid! :) | 14:33 |
| joep | unop: I know! I know! But I'm a lazy man!!. It is so easy that you forget the quirks. Moreover it is written in Perl so I can dablle a little in the innards. | 14:33 |
| jack_spratt | andrew: modprobe ndiswrapper jjust hangs | 14:33 |
| shanky | good afternoon | 14:33 |
| shanky | I have a gutsy installed since a few a months ago | 14:34 |
| unop_ | joep, well, what can i say? you can install webmin if you really want but it's really not very hard once you learn a few of the basic administration tools you'll be flying | 14:34 |
| shanky | and since yesterday, and without installing anything especial, I can't use usb devices | 14:34 |
| shanky | I get a lot of: "Apr 11 15:32:54 porfinlinux kernel: [78124.280000] usb 7-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 72" messages | 14:35 |
| joep | Dr_willis: Thanks for the tip but does it register the differences with e.g. Fedora?? I don't want to read 300+ pages of which I know most part. Most important of course is the directory structure and the use of e.g.the messagebus by the different applications. i want the technical information. | 14:35 |
| bazhang | fd12: you can also clone your current system; see /msg ubotu clone for more info | 14:35 |
| jack_spratt | _Andrew: so what now? | 14:36 |
| Dr_willis | joep, nope. its a text book for a total beginners guide to ubuntu. book. it even has a teachers edition, and student edition. | 14:36 |
| SyberJJ | so am i the ony one uable to install ubuntu? | 14:36 |
| jones | hello everyone | 14:36 |
| joep | unop: to be honest: most of it I know: but Webmin is so easy!! | 14:36 |
| Dr_willis | joep, but its free. :) so why not download it and skimm it | 14:36 |
| b0xxy | can anyone help me with this error, iv tryed all i can i dont understand anymore, its for an eggdrop - http://paste.org/index.php?id=2588 | 14:36 |
| umj | net | 14:36 |
| jack_spratt | _Andrew: shouldn't the ndiswrapper gui automatically start ndiswrapper service once it has installed a driver? | 14:36 |
| jones | i am wondering if anybody has problem setting up vhost for Symfony PHP on Ubuntu? | 14:36 |
| trickskite | ubuntu-fr | 14:36 |
| bazhang | SyberJJ: you need to detail your errors with some precision then we can perhaps offer help | 14:36 |
| unop_ | joep, webmin is easy alright, too easy to do much practically (one of the reasons ubuntu and debian frown upon it) | 14:36 |
| _Andrew | jack_spratt, no idea | 14:37 |
| joep | Dr_willis: I will certainly do it but, although I'm retired I'm more busy then ever!. | 14:37 |
| alanbshepard70 | I need help, I'm trying to install a game from the repos and somethings wrong. I had the game installed but the game needs two packages, game and game-data. The game-data package was updated when I was notified of updates through the update manager. The update manager uninstalled the game package though. When I try to reinstall the game package with synaptic it marks the game-data package for removal and vice versa. What's wrong? | 14:37 |
| bazhang | jack_spratt: what does lspci say for that card? just the single line (assuming it is a pci card) and is it internal or external | 14:38 |
| alphakamp | unop_: I see webmin as a easy interface to use once you have set everything up as you wish on only use to make minor changes thereafter | 14:38 |
| Jafet | whereis does not seem to handle search terms containing periods properly. | 14:38 |
| Jafet | Eg. $ whereis python2.4 | 14:38 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: its pcmcia | 14:38 |
| joep | unop: I won't go into that. I can do 70 to 80 % of my maintenance with it and the rest is of course commandline. | 14:38 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: so lspcmcia then? | 14:38 |
| bazhang | lspci jack_spratt | 14:38 |
| joep | alphakamp: That's exactly what I mean. | 14:39 |
| pc-illiterate | im having problems with an installer. i need some help | 14:39 |
| Jafet | Is that behavior due to bash or a bug in whereis? | 14:39 |
| lilsyko | guys | 14:39 |
| unop_ | alphakamp, not true, webmin doesnt really interface with apt very well and thats surely something any debian/ubuntu user works with very regularly, it's also limited with what it provides .. | 14:39 |
| lilsyko | wanna ask | 14:39 |
| ertun78 | how can i learn one web site ip and host by terminal on ubuntu | 14:39 |
| lilsyko | i have an ubuntu 6.06LTS mail relay server | 14:39 |
| lilsyko | if i wanna upgrade it to 7.10 | 14:39 |
| lilsyko | how do i go about doing it ? | 14:40 |
| hischild | unop_, alphakamp, can you take the discussion elsewhere? it's not support related. | 14:40 |
| bazhang | pc-illiterate: you need to provide many more details; if someone knows they will answer | 14:40 |
| unop_ | alphakamp, joep anyway, enough of webmin talk. it's there for you to use but it's not supported here. | 14:40 |
| hischild | !hardy | lilsyko | 14:40 |
| ubotu | lilsyko: 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 | 14:40 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: i think this is the relevant entry: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Belkin Unknown device 701f (rev 20) | 14:40 |
| Jafet | lilsyko, the built-in update manager should magic it for you as long as you're connected to internet. | 14:40 |
| bazhang | jack_spratt: that would be the ethernet device; nothing about the wifi card? what does lsusb yield | 14:41 |
| arcticpenguin380 | is firewire better than usb? | 14:41 |
| Jafet | lilsyko, being a mail server, I'd assume it is connected to the web. | 14:41 |
| joep | unop: and the others. We agree on our personalities. | 14:41 |
| Jafet | arcticpenguin380, in what context? | 14:41 |
| bazhang | lilsyko: you can go straight from lts to lts if you wait two weeks | 14:41 |
| arcticpenguin380 | for video camcorders | 14:41 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: belkin? thats not the ethernet, onl belkin device on there is the pcmcia i think | 14:41 |
| * JaccoH just took the plunge and typed apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:42 | |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: ill look again for wifi references... | 14:42 |
| lilsyko | yeah Jafet | 14:42 |
| LSG | ertun78: Ping | 14:42 |
| lilsyko | its connected 24/7 | 14:42 |
| joep | Boys, I have to go . I still have other problems with Ubuntu so I will come back on this channel soon. Thanks fotr the help. | 14:42 |
| Jafet | bazhang, don't you have to upgrade sequentially? | 14:42 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for hardy discussion thanks | 14:42 |
| stringssing | hello everyone...got a question... | 14:42 |
| hischild | Jafet, lts to lts can be done in a single step | 14:42 |
| bazhang | Jafet: not from dapper; there is a one step for that | 14:42 |
| Jafet | I see. | 14:42 |
| bazhang | arcticpenguin380: many would consider it so; you might ask in the hardware channel for a more precise answer though | 14:43 |
| Jafet | Bump: $ whereis python2.4 strips everything off the period onwards to search for "python2". Is this a feature? | 14:43 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: lsusb yields nothing that looks likely | 14:43 |
| ertun78 | is it like ping http://........ LSG | 14:44 |
| arcticpenguin380 | thx | 14:44 |
| stringssing | Has anyone been able to successfully manage a Zune in Ubuntu. I know, I know...Shouldn't have a Zune to begin with...I agree...It's my son's. | 14:44 |
| LSG | ertun78: Just like "ping www.google.com" | 14:44 |
| Eelis | is packages.ubuntu.com down? | 14:44 |
| bazhang | jack_spratt: how about on the card itself? are the details of the chipset on there? that is the key as unknown device wont yield much help here | 14:44 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: looks like the belkin device is being misread as an ethernet adapter for some reason; why would this be? | 14:44 |
| pc-illiterate | im having problems running an installer and any help would be appreciated | 14:44 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: its revision 7, i can find out the chipset based on that info | 14:45 |
| bazhang | pc-illiterate: as I mentioned before, you need to give many more details | 14:45 |
| Jafet | pc-illiterate, try asking a question. | 14:45 |
| Drill | êòî òî ìíå ïîìîæåò | 14:46 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: but why are we having to do this, why doesnt it just work; any idea? the win driver works well in linux, ive installed that driver, ndiswrapper recognises the device as present, why all these problems? | 14:46 |
| bazhang | stringssing: what have you tried to do? what mp3 manager are you using in ubuntu? have you successfully mounted etc | 14:46 |

| x0x | wow | 14:49 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: why would it be an unknown device? ndiswrapper recognises the card as being present, so whats the problem? | 14:49 |
| pc-illiterate | wow. you cant understand that ? i dont type. didnt know you needed specifics | 14:49 |

| Jafet | pc-illiterate, as Paul Dirac would say, that was a statement. | 14:52 |
| pc-illiterate | im a noob and i cant do that | 14:52 |
| stringssing | actually, I'm still in the research mode. I've read some stuff regarding Amarok...just wondering if anyone else has had success with this in any way. Microsoft, of course, in their continued attempt to assimilate us all, doesn't even make a Mac version of their software, so you can image how we are left completely to our own devices to make this work on anything but Vista. | 14:52 |

| Exploit_ | hi there | 14:52 |
| Exploit_ | can someone help me with an unix command? | 14:52 |
| wowbaggertip | (@ pc-illiterate) Exactly what is it that you're trying to do again? From the start, small words. I'm slow. Or are you pulling our chains? | 14:52 |
| sipior | Exploit_: which one? | 14:53 |
| Dr_willis | Exploit_, only if you ask an answerable question. :) | 14:53 |
| Exploit_ | I want to change the password as root of a a user | 14:53 |
| pc-illiterate | no im not pulling chains... hang on. type really slow | 14:53 |
| Lamego | Wyvern|, sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 14:53 |
| Dr_willis | Exploit_, sudo passwd username | 14:53 |
| bazhang | jack_spratt: it has been some time since I used ndiswrapper; I generally find it to be unreliable and a last resort, frankly; what I can remember is you need to modprobe to get it to say device present driver loaded or some such, then ifup the device and connect--this is what I have done in the past and it has generally worked | 14:53 |
| Exploit_ | okay thank you | 14:53 |
| Exploit_ | goodbye | 14:53 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 14:53 |
| jimcooncat | that was easy | 14:53 |
| LSG | ertun78: Means the ICMP is reserved, i guess | 14:53 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: ok, thats useful thanks | 14:53 |
| ertun78 | ok | 14:54 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: i just got this wireless card, and it was supposed to work nativelhy ( it too hate using ndiswrapper). however there are currently 8 revisions of this card and the manufacturer lied about that version it was. unfortunatly its almost impossible it seems to tell what chips are in a wireless card and therefore whether it has anhy hope of working in linux | 14:55 |
| Jafet | Okay, for the third and last time, I do $ whereis "python2.4" in the shell and whereis looks for "python2", not "python2.4". Is this a feature? | 14:55 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: i think one problem may be that it isnt modprobing correctly, when i do the modprobe ndiswrapper command it just hangs indefinitely | 14:55 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: not a good sign eh | 14:55 |
| hischild | Jafet, probably because . is a special character. Have you tried escaping it? | 14:55 |
| Dr_willis | pc-illiterate, when you EXPORT a variable like whatever=foo, then do 'sudo' i am not sure if the exported variable gets set for the sudo'ed commands or not. | 14:56 |
| pc-illiterate | i mounted my cdrom....i entered root terminal to export setup-cdrom=/media/cdrom then i typed sh tacticalops-3.1.5-install-x86.run ........ i get this for an answer " sh: cant open tacticalops-3.1.5-install-x86.run | 14:56 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: ill lsmod to see if it is inserted correctly | 14:56 |
| bazhang | jack_spratt: that is a common thread with some of the wireless card makers; listing it as one chipset when in fact it is another; that is why knowing the exact chipset is so key | 14:56 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: what if you try to ifup and you get "can't read interfaces file "etc/network/interfaces"? | 14:56 |
| sivel27 | any one figure out how to make usb headphones work with a laptop? | 14:56 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, iirc the var stays set, unless you env-update it | 14:56 |
| ertun78 | and last question why cant connect my website via telnet .i open it and write my site adress and just say me "tryîng to connect "and later disconnected telnet | 14:56 |
| LSG | ertun78: Sorry, i didn't read your question properly. It's just the way ping pokes the target. | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis | hischild, i always seem to see my PATH and other stuff gettting messed up when i sudo, just thinking that may be his issue. | 14:56 |
| hischild | Dr_willis, it might, though i remember reading somewhere it wouldn't. Might be mistaken. | 14:57 |
| Dr_willis | hischild, may be hes not exporting the variable also.. just settin git. | 14:57 |
| ertun78 | :) | 14:57 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: what is the wireless card chipset? | 14:57 |
| Jafet | hischild, right, my mistake, apparently whereis thinks it's an extension and strips it and there is no way to disable that. | 14:57 |
| user1 | Dr_willis: can you give me the link to download the sone 'miss india...' in http://mag4you.com/music/d/dhamaal.asp . i cant click it | 14:58 |

| Heaven4U | Hello I need some help. I am a new Linux user and I have just installed Ubuntu. What is my root password? | 14:58 |
| wowbaggertip | (@ pc-illiterate) Well, you wrote what I asked, but even after 1.5y of Ubuntu, that's got me flummoxed. Installing something from a CD? Why not from a .deb or ??? | 14:58 |
| stringssing | I can tell you now from experience, if you have a Broadcom chipset, you will have to use NDISwrapper with the Windows driver, as Broadcom does not have a native Linux driver | 14:58 |
| hischild | !sudo | Heaven4U | 14:59 |
| ubotu | Heaven4U: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 14:59 |
| bazhang | Heaven4U: there is none; just use sudo | 14:59 |
| jack_spratt | bazhang: but i know what chipset it is effectively, and i definitely have the correct .inf file installed, and ndiswrapper even recogninsed the presence of the device. BTW lsmod lists ndiswrapper as being loaded | 14:59 |
| pc-illiterate | cause its ported game ? | 14:59 |
| stringssing | However, Atheros does | 14:59 |
| Jafet | hischild, not here... | 14:59 |
| wowbaggertip | pc-illiterate: OK. I'm out. Not a gamer. Sorry. | 14:59 |

| fiXXXerMet | I want to mount a windows share to my local machine. The share has a space in it, and the password has a & symbol... What's the right syntax for the command? mount -t smbfs -o "username=user,password=password&" //server/Shared Data /media/tvifs01 ? | 15:06 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: thanks looking now | 15:06 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: FYI lspci says the card (which is bellkin) is not recognised and calls it an ethernet controller | 15:07 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: but ndiswrapper -l says driver is installled and device is present !! | 15:07 |
| drhawk | hi | 15:07 |
| thesaint4444 | unop__: yeah did that but doesn't seem to make any difference.... | 15:07 |
| Juanqui | Quick question guys | 15:07 |
| prodigel | jack_spratt: what chipset do you have? | 15:07 |
| drhawk | how can i get my system to use utc instead of the local-time? | 15:07 |
| Juanqui | Is it possible to reinstall an installation of ubuntu (7.10) and leave the home folder files untouched? | 15:08 |
| unop__ | thesaint4444, there aren't many KDE users in here, you probably will have better luck if you asked the guys in #kubuntu | 15:08 |
| drhawk | i already set utc=yes in /etc/default/rcS | 15:08 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: could you pastebin all of lspci and not that one bit please? you can install pastebinit then cat lspci | pastebinit and it will give you a url to post here thanks | 15:08 |
| prodigel | drhawk: right click clock applet, preferences, use utc | 15:08 |
| sudobash | Juanqui... I think so yes.... | 15:08 |
| Juanqui | Would it work if during the installation I choose to do custom partitioning and then deselect "FORMAT" ? | 15:08 |
| unop__ | drhawk, what does this command give you? TZ=UTC date | 15:08 |
| Juanqui | Because the thing is that I dont want it to leave shared librarie sbehind | 15:08 |
| Juanqui | or binaries behind | 15:08 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: its a belkin f5d7010 v7 | 15:08 |
| Juanqui | I want a fully clean system | 15:09 |
| lewench | Having an issue with my newly installed ubuntu on my Inspiron E1705. I get an IP address from my network card. I can ping and accually connected to my PC at home through VNC. But when browsing the net it takes about a minute to load any page. I also cannot get updates on my add/remove packages. Anyone know what might be wrong?? | 15:09 |
| thesaint4444 | unop__: ok, thanks... | 15:09 |
| sudobash | Jueanqui correct do not format... i think at the beginning it looks for files to carry over | 15:09 |
| bazhang | lewench: this is gutsy? | 15:09 |
| drhawk | my hwclock is already set to locale time. i want the whole system to use this time | 15:09 |
| Juanqui | yes | 15:09 |
| lewench | bazhang, Yes. | 15:09 |
| drhawk | not just the clock-applet | 15:09 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: i think Realtek 8185 chipset | 15:09 |
| fiXXXerMet | Anyone? What's the syntax for mounting a windows share that has a space in it? | 15:09 |
| user1 | my system grub shows no moniter display for a part of boot period. just 'sync out of rang' how to do with that? | 15:09 |
| hischild | Juanqui, yes that's possible. Do not format your /home then, and select it as your new /home. That will let you keep your current files and settings. Then create the new user with the old user data and you're done. | 15:09 |
| unop__ | drhawk, the hwclock should use UTC and you should configure your timezone .. not the otherway around | 15:09 |
| bazhang | lewench: you all the repos enabled? | 15:09 |
| prodigel | jack_spratt: did you do some googling about your chipset? I'm limited in expertize, especially with modules and stuff | 15:10 |
| drhawk | then i have to change the windows-behavior, right? | 15:10 |
| lewench | bazhang, huh? I can't get updates it won't go through. take a minute to load a page. But everything else network wise is ok | 15:10 |
| salko | Desktop effects could not be enabled any help | 15:10 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: it works perfectly with the same drivers on other distros, just install the .inf etc. viaa gui normall and away you go | 15:11 |
| bazhang | lewench: you are connected on that box now? could you pastebin your sources.list please? | 15:11 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: i bought it for its linux compatibility | 15:11 |
| wers | I cant play any music because of a gstramer error. apparently, state change failed. how do I fix that? | 15:11 |
| unop__ | drhawk, windows does crazy things with time and setting the hwclock . there's a way you can get both to cooperate on this | 15:11 |
| lewench | bazhang, How do I go about doing that? | 15:11 |
| bazhang | salko: you need the 3d drivers for your card via the restricted drivers manager and install ccsm; more info /msg ubotu ccsm | 15:12 |
| salko | indugun u helped me several times | 15:12 |
| salko | Desktop effects could not be enabled any help | 15:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | salko: whats your video device? | 15:12 |
| hischild | unop__, not using utc will make the time correct for both OS's iirc | 15:12 |
| ikonia | salko: need more info than that | 15:12 |
| bazhang | lewench: install pastebinit sudo apt-get install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 15:12 |
| salko | dont know | 15:12 |
| benpicco_ | salko: do you have direct rendering enabled? which gpu are you using? | 15:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | salko: well, thats a start.. run lspci in a terminal and see what your video device is | 15:13 |
| sudobash | anyone know of a IEC958 fix so Firefox flash media can play through SPDIF? | 15:13 |

| benpicco_ | salko: lspci | grep VGA | 15:13 |
| salko | ok | 15:13 |
| benpicco_ | salko: so you don't have installed any driver yet, did you? | 15:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | benpicco: he probably has either ATI, or Intel graphics, as Nvidia works out fo the box. | 15:14 |
| bazhang | probably ati | 15:14 |
| hischild | IndyGunFreak, you also need the restricted ones for the newer nvidia ones | 15:14 |
| user1 | iam using tv card Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast De coder (rev 01) . i cant make it work. any help? | 15:14 |

| kkaefer | hi | 15:14 |
| benpicco_ | salko: wow, what's acient! | 15:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | salko: go to system/admin/restricted driver. | 15:15 |
| unop__ | drhawk, or you could make ubuntu do the work (which might be better as some windows apps are problematic if you change windows to UTC) - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime | 15:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | benpicco: lol, i know. | 15:15 |
| kkaefer | is it possible to allow certain commands that usually require root permissions to be executed by regular users without entering a password? | 15:15 |
| salko | yes it is | 15:15 |
| salko | hahah | 15:15 |
| kkaefer | sorry | 15:15 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport check here user1 | 15:15 |

| user1 | bazhang: that dont have phillips in it | 15:15 |
| user1 | i gues | 15:15 |
| kkaefer | how can I allow certain commands that usually require root permissions to be executed by regular users without entering a password? | 15:15 |
| benpicco_ | salko: you serioulsy want to use compiz on it? I requieres at least a geforce 2 | 15:15 |

| Ehlyah | no, thank you | 15:16 |
| drhawk | hm. this does only work when i have access to a time server | 15:16 |
| salko | u thinl i cant do it | 15:16 |
| Ehlyah | no, thank you | 15:16 |
| lewench | bazhang, pastebinit** | 15:16 |
| hischild | lewench, package is called pastebinit, not pasteinit | 15:16 |
| unop__ | kkaefer, you can edit the /etc/sudoers file -- see the sudoers manpage for more | 15:16 |

| sudobash | does anyone know how to configure firefox audio device? | 15:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | salko: thats an awful old card to try and use desktop effects, you should probably be grateful they aren't working | 15:17 |
| unop__ | drhawk, see the "Multiple Boot Systems Time Conflicts" section at the bottom on changing the /etc/defaults/rcS file | 15:17 |
| sudobash | like which device flash uses | 15:17 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: does this mean that ndiswrapper is corrupted or something; the fact that it cannot be added or removed from the kerenl | 15:17 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: this is an internal card or a usb one? if usb then try lsusb and report the one line for that please | 15:17 |
| lewench | bazhang, Its odd, it doesn't want to download anything, but everything works fine. Im talking to you from my PC at home vnc'd though this laptop. | 15:17 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: not a usb card | 15:18 |
| salko | i cant fix it | 15:18 |
| salko | or | 15:18 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: what does ifconfig show? two entries or three eth0 lo only or a third as well | 15:18 |
| bazhang | lewench: how about cat /etc/apt/sources.list and see if there are a bunch of hashmarks in front of the various repos | 15:19 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: eth0, lo and wlan0 | 15:19 |
| Mozze | Any tips for making something fun out of youre desktop? | 15:19 |

But when browsing the net it takes about a minute to load any page. I also cannot get updates on my add/remove packages. Anyone know what might be wrong?? | 15:20 |
| benpicco_ | salko: compiz requires a GeForce 2 to work | 15:20 |
| Ehlyah | all I've got is our wireless, WEP encrypted | 15:20 |
| Mozze | benpico, crap ;) | 15:20 |
| lewench | err sorry meant to copy and paste. | 15:20 |
| bazhang | haha | 15:20 |
| prodigel | jack_spratt: before installing the driver with ndiswrapper | 15:20 |
| salko | ooooooo | 15:20 |
| salko | and now | 15:20 |
| benpicco_ | Mozze: it craetessoo nice xmas feeling ;) | 15:20 |
| sipior | lewench: you using a local dns server? | 15:20 |
| lewench | bazhang, Yes there are # line commented out by installer because it failed to verify | 15:21 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: just our WEP encrypted wireless | 15:21 |
| lewench | sipior, Yes | 15:21 |
| salko | can i give a try | 15:21 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: you mean was the card recognised at all before the diswrapper install? if thats what you mean, i dont know | 15:21 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: you know the cli pretty well? I can give the definitive link on how to connect via cli with that guide; first try sudo dhclient wlan0 and report any errors please | 15:21 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: i didnt check, i didnt see a need to (it was plugged in during the whole install | 15:21 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: cli? | 15:21 |
| benpicco_ | salko: It's about hardware functions - you can emulate it by the cpu using xgl, but emulating gpu funktions is not that a good idea in respects of performance... | 15:22 |
| sipior | lewench: probably a name resolution problem. try using "dig" with various FQDNs and see if it takes a while to get an answer back | 15:22 |
| bazhang | lewench: most of them? just the backports? how many roughly | 15:22 |
| benpicco_ | salko: which cpu are you using? | 15:22 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: command line (terminal) | 15:22 |
| lewench | bazhang, All of them accually | 15:22 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: beginner, I'm afraid | 15:22 |
| benpicco_ | salko: (cat /proc/cpuinfo) | 15:22 |
| prodigel | jack_spratt: you have to blacklist some modules in kernel before applying ndiswrapper drivers | 15:23 |
| prodigel | jack_spratt: this way the module won't load a badly detected driver for it thus conficting with yours | 15:23 |
| bazhang | lewench: then you need to uncomment (remove the hashmarks) from the key ones; /msg ubotu gutsysources for which ones to uncomment | 15:23 |
| prodigel | jack_spratt: may be the cause of you badly named interface | 15:23 |
| salko | and now | 15:23 |

| amenado | tenpaiyomi-> what is the new user name you have added? | 15:24 |
| tenpaiyomi | amenado: voiddesign | 15:24 |

| salko | AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ | 15:25 |
| jack_spratt | prodgiel: why do you think that? i dont know of a conflicting driver, and on other distros i didnt have to blackliist; also on gides for this card andubunttu there is no menttion of blackllisting... | 15:25 |
| tenpaiyomi | sipior: useradd -s /bin/shell -d /home/voiddesign -m voiddesign | 15:25 |
| tenpaiyomi | sipior: then I did a passwd voiddesign and set it's password | 15:25 |
| sipior | tenpaiyomi: /bin/shell? that doesn't sound right... | 15:26 |

| Ehlyah | bazhang: report of the sudo dhclient wlan0 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62827/ | 15:26 |

| salko | ive inserted today a card cuz the one onboard desnt detect linux | 15:27 |
| tenpaiyomi | sipior: That was it. It's been awhile since I've done anything heavily linux, cause I've gotten lazy with OS X :( | 15:28 |
| amenado | tenpaiyomi-> even it it is remote, login with the userid you used to su to root, then su - voiddesign | 15:28 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: have you used nm-applet (the gui in the toolbar/panel) to connect before? you can set the wep pass there and try to connect via the gui also; your system sees your card, we just need to get you connected and you will be good to go | 15:28 |
| tenpaiyomi | amenado: It was the me having stupidly set it to /bin/shell instead of /bin/bash | 15:28 |
| drhawk | unop__, i don't unterstand why (k)ubuntu assumes the hw-clock is set to utc when is set the utc-option in rcS to no. in man rcS it says when utc is set to no the hw-clock is the localtime | 15:29 |
| amenado | tenpaiyomi-> okay, go ahead and correct it | 15:29 |
| bazhang | lewench: you have no sources; that would be the reason that add/remove is greyed out; open up the sources list with an editor and remove the hashes and then sudo apt-get update and try again | 15:29 |

| benpicco_ | salko: have you installed the driver at all? what tells you glxinfo | grep direct? | 15:31 |
| drhawk | and in ubtuntu it takes the hwclock (whick is set to the correct local time) and adds the time-offset of 2hours | 15:32 |
| sipior | rance: i think minicom will do what you want | 15:32 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: ah then to the cli it is we must go ;] | 15:32 |
| drhawk | no matter if i set utc to yes or no | 15:32 |
| Ehlyah | bazhang: allrighty | 15:32 |
| lewench | bazhang, is there a reason why this happend on install? Maybe I didn't have internet connection? | 15:32 |

| Darkside | hi, i have a .img file that i dd'd from an old hdd, how would i go about analysing it, seeing what partitions are there? | 15:40 |
| mark__ | i did that before updating | 15:40 |
| geirha | salko: do you have any package programs open? like update-manager or synaptic? | 15:40 |
| salko | yes | 15:40 |
| MrBill | When I plug in my 8gb USB memory stick (NTFS) it autorecognizes and mounts itself, but I'm seeming to not get the same behaviour off of an NTFS formatted USB hard drive, is this normal? | 15:40 |
| Lamego | Darkside, you should be able to loopback mount it | 15:40 |
| geirha | salko: close it first, only one such program can function at a time, they lock each other out | 15:40 |
| sriramoman | how do i install kernel-sources in ubuntu? | 15:40 |
| salko | thx | 15:40 |
| Lamego | i mean, if it was from a partition, not a disk | 15:40 |
| MrBill | i'm using 7.10 Gutsy if that matters | 15:40 |
| Darkside | Lamego, but will i be able to check partitions, etc? | 15:40 |
| Darkside | ah | 15:41 |
| jchase | mark_: so when you boot, does it allow you to pass a parameter, or does it come to a cli prompt? | 15:41 |
| Darkside | yeah, its an image of a while disk | 15:41 |
| Darkside | whole* | 15:41 |
| mark__ | i just got the message Loding Hardware Drivers FAIL | 15:41 |
| Lamego | Darkside, well, that is more tricky | 15:41 |
| unop_ | drhawk, what do these two commands return? TZ="Europe/Berlin" date; TZ="UTC" date | 15:42 |
| Lamego | you would need to get the partition table, and dump the partitions into image files so that you could loopback mount them | 15:42 |
| salko | what now | 15:42 |
| Darkside | Lamego: how would i go about doing that? | 15:42 |
| benpicco_ | salko: you'll need to logout and select the session xgl | 15:42 |

| salko | how should i select xgl | 15:43 |
| geirha | salko: log out to the login-screen. At the login-screen hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (this will restart it) | 15:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | salko: you hit sessions and select xgl | 15:43 |
| salko | ill try | 15:43 |
| salko | thx | 15:43 |
| geirha | salko: if the xserver-xgl package is installed, it will be used instead of xorg | 15:43 |
| sriramoman | how do i install kernel-sources in ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: that is okay; just keep going with the commands | 15:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | geirha: is that right?.. i thougth you had to choose xgl | 15:44 |
| === whozbob is now known as WhozBob | ||
| Lamego | Darkside, I am not aware of specific tools for that, you can manually look into the part table description and then just read from the part offset, it is a non trivial procedure, you will need to read a lot :P | 15:44 |
| bazhang | sriramoman: either via the terminal or synaptic package manager | 15:44 |

| bazhang | Ehlyah: what does iwconfig show; does it show that device associated with your wifi hotspot? | 15:59 |

| bazhang | !envy | connor | 16:07 |

| Pricey | connor, I don't think what you describe is a fault of envy. | 16:07 |
| connor | well it starts working when i remove the ati drivers all my sounds work fine again | 16:07 |
| amenado | Alan-D-> okay, can you sudo fdisk -l and see what your system sees as hard disk? | 16:07 |
| JCDG | sipior are u there?? | 16:08 |

| bazhang | connor it is unsupported here | 16:08 |

| Alan-D | amenado: To do that I would have to load it on the live cd. | 16:08 |
| sipior | JCDG: i did. what were you expecting from me, precisely? | 16:09 |
| connor | ok crap err anything similar i could use | 16:09 |
| amenado | Alan-D-> when you boot from alternate cd, did you have any grub options you added like priority=critical ? | 16:09 |
| JCDG | look, to tell me if yu know what could be worng | 16:09 |
| dakira_temp | hey.. which filesystem would you use for /boot? | 16:09 |
| Alan-D | amenado: When it get to the installing the controler, I have the option of supplying one from a diskette | 16:10 |
| amenado | Alan-D try this, add the option priority=critical and go through the menu to select the drives it detects on your system | 16:10 |
| bazhang | connor you may use what you wish; we tend to discourage the use of third party drivers here; the preferred method is the restricted drivers manager | 16:10 |
| sipior | JCDG: you have told me nothing about the application, or what its purpose is, and then you send me half of an error message about a function that failed? i'm not psychic, despite my best attempts... | 16:10 |
| Alan-D | amenado: No there are no Grub options | 16:10 |
| bazhang | err scripts not drivers | 16:11 |

| JCDG | sipior, what do you want to know, that could help me? | 16:11 |
| amenado | Alan-D i forget what prompts the alternate cd provides...what are they when you boot off of it? | 16:11 |

| hwilde | pro-rsoft, xmms is cool | 16:17 |

| hwilde | pro-rsoft, if you get the plugins yes | 16:18 |
| amenado | Alan-D-> adaptec seems like the defacto standards, am pretty sure it does | 16:18 |
| hwilde | pro-rsoft, its just like winamp | 16:18 |
| pro-rsoft | hwilde which plugin | 16:18 |
| pro-rsoft | dont know winamp. | 16:18 |
| christoz | Psynaut is the samme app with bit-torrent which was preinstalled with the distro | 16:18 |
| benpicco_ | what about mplayer? | 16:18 |
| christoz | ? | 16:18 |
| bazhang | Ehlyah: if the networkmanager app does see it; can you try configuring the wep pass from there? | 16:18 |

| SlicerDicer | amenado: what would I do to reinstall db? | 16:20 |
| pro-rsoft | hwilde, will try that thanx | 16:20 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: any documentation? | 16:20 |
| amenado | Alan-D having priority=critical I believe gives you a secondary menu, and from there you can select to detect hd and drivers? | 16:20 |
| pro-rsoft | hwilde, its not in 'main' repo ahhgr | 16:20 |

| cheesypieces | hi guys, can anyone tell me why i can't start synaptic? it just says 'starting administrative service' then nothing happens | 16:23 |
| zls | core2quad 4Gb-corsas 2x500SeaBarracuda-32 Geforce8800gtx и это все не мне :( | 16:23 |
| JCDG | sipior thats what i get | 16:23 |
| bazhang | !ru | zls | 16:24 |
| ubotu | zls: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 16:24 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: that doesn't work either. using wext it finds and tries to connect but seems to reject the psk, but the same psk works with another card | 16:24 |
| zls | ok | 16:24 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, run this: wpa_passphrase <ssid> [passphrase] and try the converted one it gives you | 16:25 |
| Psynaut | Looking for assistance or a direction to look for information on how to mount a secondary hard drive that I have just repartitioned and reformatted to ext3 from an NTFS windows partition that I didn't want anymore in 7.10. Any help would be awesome. | 16:25 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: no that doesn't work either. It's never worked on this laptop (hardy), but did work and has stopped working on my other laptop (feisty). The wpa_supplicant.conf file is definently correct as ir works for the prism card | 16:26 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, try ap_scan = 0/1/2 | 16:28 |
| cheesypieces | hi guys, can anyone tell me why i can't start synaptic? it just says 'starting administrative service' then nothing happens | 16:28 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, that param tells the driver to handle it differently | 16:28 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, try from the command line "sudo synaptic" | 16:28 |
| hwilde | !ntfs | Psynaut | 16:28 |
| ubotu | Psynaut: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 16:28 |
| JCDG | sipior, are you tehre? | 16:29 |
| linduxed | how do i make a terminal start as a bit larger than the current window size? | 16:29 |
| hwilde | linduxed, edit the current profile from the menu | 16:29 |
| cheesypieces | hwilde it says it can't resolve host if i do that | 16:29 |
| Psynaut | hwilde: thanks but I have already formatted and partitioned the drive to ext3 from NTFS using gparted. I just can't figure out how to mount the damned thing. been in /etc/fstab with no luck | 16:29 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: Line 4: unknown network field 'ap_scan' | 16:29 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, before the network block | 16:30 |
| hwilde | Psynaut, that link tells you how. read it | 16:30 |
| hwilde | !ntfs | Psynaut | 16:30 |
| ubotu | Psynaut: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 16:30 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file, and the output of ifconfig | 16:31 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: yes that works! Thanks! | 16:31 |
| JCDG | does somebody know how to fix this? http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/9307/pantallazoog0.png | 16:31 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: ah no its not | 16:31 |
| sipior | JCDG: well, i saw your image, but 1) The text is in spanish. 2) Where is the terminal where you invoked javaws? | 16:31 |
| MrBill | is /etc/hostname all I need to worry about if I want to change the name of my PC? | 16:32 |

| mw-home | I want to downgrade a package. How to?\ | 16:33 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, http://linux.die.net/man/8/wpa_supplicant http://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf | 16:33 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62837/ <-- every option | 16:33 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, do it! | 16:33 |
| MrBill | exit | 16:33 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, I bet your localhost is fubar | 16:33 |
| cheesypieces | hwilde: no idea what fubar is but i'll do it | 16:34 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, CTRL DISCONNECT is you hitting ctrl+c let it run through | 16:34 |
| JCDG | sipior http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62838/ | 16:34 |
| linduxed | hwilde: thx | 16:35 |
| hwilde | linduxed, not everything is a mystery :) look at the menu options and stuff people have provided | 16:35 |
| cheesypieces | hwilde: http://pastebin.com/d517f05e | 16:36 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, why did you put that stuff under lo | 16:37 |
| sipior | JCDG: if you start javaws from the terminal (with no arguments), it should open an application manager. if you then open your jnlp file from within that, does it work? | 16:37 |
| brand0n | hi. i have xp installed now. if I wanted to have xp, vista, ubuntu triple boot, should I vista or ubuntu first? | 16:37 |
| JCDG | let me try | 16:37 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, delete the address and netmask under lo in your interfaces file | 16:37 |
| hwilde | brand0n, vista first, ubuntu will recognize it | 16:37 |
| linduxed | hwilde: hmmm, turns out it doesnt have the option im looking for, is the command line equivalent -w and -h? | 16:38 |
| [SAFC]stevec | hwilde_: it just loops round and round there, and I;ve been through all the documentation. as I say it worked a couple of dyas agao now has just stopped | 16:38 |
| JCDG | if i start javaws with no arguments, the terminal send me information telling me that i need to have an arguement | 16:38 |
| hwilde | [SAFC]stevec, well it's probably an incompatibility. what card and what ap | 16:38 |
| cheesypieces | hwilde: how do i edit it? | 16:38 |
| hwilde | cheesypieces, sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 16:39 |
| JCDG | and show the options that i can type | 16:39 |
| [SAFC]stevec | ipw2200bg and a 2100, ans a linksya wap54g. thy have been working together fine for years | 16:39 |
| cheesypieces | hwilde: thats the problem, sudo isn't working | 16:39 |
| cheesypieces | it says it can't resolve the host | 16:40 |

| sipior | JCDG: well, you're definitely running java 6. not sure what to tell you at this point; perhaps contact your software vendor and see if they have a solution for you | 16:47 |
| biagidp | bazhang: I've had no trouble with firefox on multiple ubuntu installs in the past, my latest 7.10 install has made firefox all wonky | 16:47 |

| bazhang | truecrypt? | 16:56 |
| cheesypieces | hi guys can anyone tell me how to get sudo working? it just tells me it can't resolve the hostname and then doesn't do anything | 16:56 |
| unop_ | smartcard time | 16:56 |
| IshinoSan | truecrypt would be my choice as well ;) | 16:56 |
| benpicco_ | cheesypieces: why should sudo resolve any hostnames? | 16:57 |
| unop_ | !hostname | cheesypieces (verify your hostname is setup properly) | 16:57 |
| ubotu | cheesypieces (verify your hostname is setup properly): Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 16:57 |
| hischild | cheesypieces, you have to add your hostname to /etc/hosts | 16:57 |
| Ntemis | hello ppl | 16:57 |
| hischild | benpicco_, it can apparently also be used on remote systems. | 16:57 |
| Ntemis | i need some help | 16:57 |
| unop_ | benpicco_, to differentiate a username on the localmachine from the same username from another machine | 16:57 |
| biagidp | ntemis: What's up? | 16:58 |
| Ntemis | after the recent updates my ntfs hdds are nowhere to be found | 16:58 |
| Ntemis | i dont see them anymore | 16:58 |
| bazhang | gutsy Ntemis? | 16:58 |
| Ntemis | yes | 16:58 |
| unop_ | Ntemis, does this list them? sudo fdisk -l | 16:58 |
| XB23 | hey guys, how can i find out if a firewall on my machine is blocking ports? | 16:58 |
| cheesypieces | guys, how can i add my host to/etc/hosts without using sudo? | 16:58 |
| hischild | cheesypieces, reboot in recovery mode | 16:58 |
| Ntemis | yes | 16:58 |
| huggybeers | ct/hosts | 16:58 |
| Ntemis | sudo fdisk -l this shows them | 16:58 |
| unop_ | cheesypieces, well, check that your hostname isnt in /etc/hosts before doing anything else | 16:59 |
| andre__ | Full disk encryption with lvm on top, using dm_crypt (i think the default in ubuntu 8.04 beta) | 16:59 |
| cheesypieces | unop_: should it be in the hosts ?file or not | 16:59 |
| unop_ | cheesypieces, it should | 16:59 |
| cheesypieces | ok | 16:59 |
| Ntemis | unop_ what next | 17:00 |
| unop_ | Ntemis, should be fairly easy to mount. sudo sh -c "mkdir /media/ntfs; mount /dev/sdXX /media/ntfs" | 17:00 |
| Ntemis | anything to fix? | 17:00 |
| diogo | hi i play runescape | 17:00 |
| unop_ | Ntemis, not sure why gnome isnt picking them up tho | 17:00 |
| XB23 | how can i find out if a firewall on my machine is blocking ports? | 17:00 |
| XB23 | or port 1000 to be more specific | 17:00 |
| bazhang | andre__: you on hardy? | 17:00 |

| BDI | What's a firefox? I need internet explorer to do the internet | 17:01 |
| BDI | And minesweeper is gone | 17:02 |
| unop_ | Ntemis, if that command mounts your hdds, you can add entries to /etc/fstab for them | 17:02 |
| bazhang | BDI: surely you jest | 17:02 |
| Ntemis | my friend and 1st man dont see his usb enclosure (ntfs) also | 17:02 |

| bazhang | hischild: aye; just thought he must be kidding | 17:04 |
| connor | maybe via remote assistance | 17:04 |
| hischild | bazhang, we're thinking alike. That's why i gave him that link to read. | 17:04 |
| bazhang | connor you removed envy? | 17:04 |
| connor | yes | 17:05 |
| connor | then tried restricted drivers manager and when i reboot it just says its disabled again | 17:05 |
| andre__ | Hi, I just wondered how I can setup my encrypted ubuntu to use a keyfile on my usb rather than type in my 30+ character passphrase twice (once for root and once again for home partition) on each bootup? :) | 17:05 |

| bazhang | diogo: not here please | 17:06 |
| rosa | we speak español? | 17:06 |
| andre__ | bazhang, i believe this is a general ubuntu question? :) | 17:06 |
| Lamego | diogo, your english is not good enough, and try another channel | 17:06 |
| TwinX | !es | 17:06 |
| ubotu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 17:06 |
| thedonvaughn | diogo: no cracking help here. move along | 17:07 |
| bazhang | andre__: I dont have the energy to argue ;] | 17:07 |
| diogo | ? | 17:07 |
| hwilde | andre__, just ask in ubuntu+1 | 17:07 |
| sls_ | what are the actual files that the ubuntu installer actually uses? I am loading gutsy over http on a local source i created using apt-cacher. | 17:07 |
| connor | could someone install my graphics card driver by remote assistance | 17:07 |
| diogo | but i was hacked in runescape | 17:08 |
| Jeruvy | I'm trying to print a OO ods document, and it's cutting off due to the margins, I've tried to change this but nothing is changing | 17:08 |
| hischild | hwilde, assuming it's the same solution on gutsy and hardy, i'd say let him stay. Until there's a point that it actually makes a difference then i'd say go switch. | 17:08 |
| andre__ | hwilde, bazhang i have asked but noone is answering.. but isn't this the same for the current and beta version? | 17:08 |
| maek | no connor you have to do it by yourself | 17:08 |
| Jeruvy | connor, no you need console access | 17:08 |
| Pricey | diogo, we don't do hacking or other illegal discussion here sorry. | 17:08 |
| hwilde | hischild, i know but bazhang is on edge | 17:08 |
| sipior | andre__: i think you can simply arrange to have the passphrase in a gnome keyring, and then have that keyring unlocked automatically upon login | 17:08 |
| connor | i have console access | 17:08 |
| sls_ | THe installer is bombing ouduring downloadeing installer components | 17:08 |
| diogo | o ok | 17:08 |
| Jeruvy | connor then install it | 17:08 |
| maek | connor just use envy | 17:09 |

| ubotu | ForzaPalermo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 17:19 |
| nickrud | ForzaPalermo that is, reinstall | 17:19 |
| [T]ank | when i am in dual screen mode (aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1) anything using my gl driver like mplayer or google earth, the video or map is shifted about 1/3 the screen to the left, so i have empty space on the right side and the left side is cut off. anyone know how to correct that? | 17:19 |
| wers | what consumes least resources and is fastest; Rhythmbox, Exaile, Quod Libet, or Banshee? :) | 17:19 |
| hwilde | andre__, you are better off googling it because I doubt anybody here has done that exact thing | 17:19 |
| pc-illiterate | where can i get help installing a game with an installer ? | 17:20 |
| bazhang | user1 edit sources.list to new version, update then dist-upgrade | 17:20 |

| hwilde | [T]ank, can't you adjust the horizontal on the monitor itself | 17:20 |
| ForzaPalermo | so i have to do a reinstall of my distro? | 17:20 |
| Pici | ForzaPalermo: I think thats the best solution | 17:20 |
| [T]ank | its within the application window that the images are shifted | 17:20 |
| [T]ank | the desktop is correct | 17:20 |
| nickrud | ForzaPalermo yes, now that I'm waking up you can't even do a clone, because the package database was in /var/lib | 17:20 |

| sinan | greetings ! I am having a problem with X (or the greeter, I am not sure). When i start ubuntu from the LiveCD, it works fine, when i install it and try to start it, it loads the GUI for a short while (Showing a mouse cursor), then closes and tries again .. then reports problems with the Greeter .. the reports that X has been restarted 6 times in the last 90 seconds. What can i DO ? | 17:23 |
| sipior | andre__: out of curiosity, why an encrypted root filesystem? it seems like it adds a great deal of complexity with very little return in security. | 17:24 |

| [T]ank | if i switch to aticonfig --dtop=single then my display in my applications is correct. | 17:28 |

| Parsi | ? | 17:31 |
| === pricechild_ is now known as PriceChild | ||
| sipior | sinan: after you quit out of the "crashed 6 times" dialogue, you should be back to a simple console. is that not the case? | 17:32 |
| sinan | correct, it is. I am back to the console after each crash actually. | 17:32 |
| sinan | sipior: i haven't noticed anything unusual there, let me re-check, brb. | 17:32 |
| sipior | sinan: and there should be an error listing left on the console | 17:33 |

| lartza_ | it was in discussion about software and direct rendering | 18:11 |
| bazhang | haha | 18:11 |
| lartza_ | so do i have no direct rendering? only software rendering and how ot enable that? | 18:11 |
| lartza_ | how do i enable direct rendering? | 18:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LjL, his IP comes back as Amsterdam anyhow | 18:12 |
| LjL | Jack_Sparrow, yet that didn't look like standard dutch to me :) | 18:12 |
| chtri | lartza_: see glxinfo for info if you have direct rendering enabled or not | 18:12 |
| lartza_ | direct rendering: Yes | 18:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LjL, Agreed... which is what made me think something was up.. | 18:13 |
| lartza_ | how is glxgears so slow then if the discussion is right | 18:13 |
| chtri | lartza_: what video card and cpu? | 18:13 |
| unop_ | he did say ukrainian - although he could be a ukrainian in holland | 18:13 |
| chtri | his language was russian | 18:13 |

| lartza_ | what numbers? | 18:15 |
| earmbrust | i don't think FoF is going to run "smooth", but it shouldn't run like molasses | 18:15 |

| lartza_ | 3863 frames in 5.0 seconds = 772.260 FPS | 18:15 |
| chtri | lartza_: and glxgears is not reliable, no one knows what is meaning of these numbers :D | 18:16 |
| lartza_ | does enablindg desktop effects enable direct rendering and disabling disables it? | 18:16 |
| lartza_ | why not? | 18:16 |
| chtri | cuz scene it renders have nothing to do with 3D graphics :D lol | 18:17 |
| lartza_ | well i just gotta save some money for new motherboard and cpu, and yes it is 3d | 18:17 |

| earmbrust | iirc, you can disable the second screen from the display options | 18:24 |
| stefg | Devil: yup. you need your deskop's ip | 18:24 |
| eth01 | sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 18:24 |
| eth01 | ifconfig to look at IP's and things | 18:24 |

| eth01 | ifconfig -a, even :) | 18:24 |
| earmbrust | does anyone run ubuntu to provide public shell access? | 18:25 |
| Devil | so just use :ssh-1<user name><desktop ip>? | 18:25 |

| simotempler | hi anyone - if I have a program "skypemate" made for FC3 only anyway I can convert that to work with Ubuntu gusty? Or get it back to source and recompile? | 18:42 |
| fabianv | Hi | 18:43 |
| fabianv | I was wondering if someone can help me | 18:43 |
| stefg | !aline | simotempler | 18:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aline - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:43 |
| stefg | !alien | simotempler | 18:43 |
| ubotu | simotempler: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 18:43 |
| michalski | !hi | fabianv | 18:43 |
| ubotu | fabianv: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 18:43 |
| Gman99999 | can anyone tell me why strigi sucks so fing bad its not even funny, i cant even type in the damn thing | 18:43 |
| michalski | !ask | fabianv | 18:43 |
| ubotu | fabianv: 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. :-) | 18:43 |
| usser | platyhelminth, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 18:43 |
| simotempler | dangerous? | 18:43 |
| simotempler | how dangerous | 18:43 |
| Gman99999 | I cant find any support documents to fix the strigi | 18:43 |
| usser | Gman99999, strigi is fubar | 18:44 |
| usser | Gman99999, use tracker of beagle | 18:44 |
| Gman99999 | usser that doesnt mean anything to me, can you please define further? | 18:44 |
| fabianv | This is the second time I installed ubuntu and this time im going to try and get my ATI card working. Has anyone succesfully got a Radeon Xpress200m running with full functionality on ubuntu | 18:44 |
| Gman99999 | ok will do | 18:44 |
| Pici | simotempler: It can install things in the wrong places/overwrite things, rpm and deb are not fully compatible with each other. | 18:44 |
| Gnea | fabianv: have you read the ATI docs for ubuntu? | 18:44 |
| Gman99999 | Im just wondering why its broken? I cant even type a word in without it erasing what i type etc | 18:44 |
| usser | Gman99999, strigi never worked properly i'd say its not even beta and its a mistery to me how it made it into mainstream distribution | 18:44 |
| Alan_M | Fully Pici? i thought they werent. | 18:45 |
| fabianv | Yes, 2 months ago I went through the sources thoroughly | 18:45 |
| Pici | simotempler: I personally have not had problems with it, but your mileage may vary. | 18:45 |
| Gman99999 | wtf | 18:45 |
| michalski | !wtf | Gman99999 | 18:45 |
| ubotu | Gman99999: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:45 |
| stefg | simotempler: it might overwrite libs or do stupid things ... so ususally with high level stuff it's ok to use, but compiling from source and using at least checkinstall to generate a .deb is surely better (but more work) | 18:45 |
| Pici | Alan_M: not fully compatibile. | 18:45 |
| tenpaiyomi | I have a users home folder that I need to be accessible by all other users on the system. How would I go about doing something like that? | 18:45 |
| simotempler | i think the main prob is the driver uses some usb kernel libs for an older version will this convert them do you think | 18:45 |
| brendan__ | packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down | 18:45 |
| usser | tenpaiyomi, accessible as in writable? | 18:45 |
| Gnea | fabianv: well, there's 3 drivers you can try out - vesa will obviously work but for 2d, ati or radeon should get 3d to work | 18:45 |
| chazco | Hi... just noticed RealPlayer 11 has been released for Linux... anyone using this on Gusty? Does it work okay? | 18:46 |
| Gnea | chazco: works fine here | 18:46 |
| simotempler | its to control a usb audio skype handset | 18:46 |
| usser | Gman99999, try tracker | 18:46 |
| fabianv | vesa, restricted are only acceptable.. but they dont give full support | 18:46 |
| Alan_M | Whats the difference between the DVD version of ubuntu and the cd version? Does the dvd include the main and universe repositories or something? | 18:46 |
| Gnea | chazco: btw, realplayer 11 == helix | 18:46 |
| chazco | Gnea - Defiantly 11, not 10? | 18:46 |
| chazco | Yep, i know, but still an update | 18:46 |
| Gman99999 | usser which is better tracker or beagle? | 18:46 |
| Odd-rationale | Alan_M: the dvd has the desktop, alternative and server cd all in one | 18:46 |
| michalski | Alan_M DVD is for DVD, CD is for CD | 18:46 |
| Gnea | Alan_M: more cds, less dvds holding the same thing | 18:46 |
| mikeyfbi | hey everyone...this is my first time in IRC chat O_o...I'm looking for help with "Dependency not satisfiable: libcairo2" | 18:47 |

| Alan_M | michaelski, i kinda figured that out on my own thank ya :) | 18:47 |
| Gnea | mikeyfbi: for what package? | 18:47 |
| tenpaiyomi | usser: Well, to explain, the user is the owner of some git repositories. It works fine for remote git actions, however when attempting to doing commands on the system, it says it can't chdir to the folder | 18:47 |
| mikeyfbi | libcairo2 | 18:47 |
| mikeyfbi | or the .deb? | 18:47 |
| Alan_M | Odd-rationale, so no more having to burn 3 different cd's just for what i need? WOOHOO! | 18:47 |

| Gnea | mikeyfbi: but what did you install that needs libcairo2? | 18:47 |
| magnetron | Arelis: you should get a computer with ubuntu preinstalled | 18:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Alan_M: yeah but downloading that thing could take a lot of time... | 18:48 |

| Gman99999 | usser just tried tracker, there's no options to index files or anything like that and it didn't even find the files that are on my desktop | 18:49 |
| mmm4m5m | Odd-rationale: 10x | 18:49 |
| eth01 | Arelis: this isn't #lets-talk-about-arelis | 18:49 |

| tenpaiyomi | usser: sec | 18:50 |

| ubotu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 18:50 |
| michalski | vix85 go to synaptics and install it from there | 18:50 |
| coach_z | what is the install size of ubuntu, i cannot find it on the website | 18:50 |
| tenpaiyomi | usser: http://pastebin.com/d1d2e551b | 18:50 |
| mikeyfbi | Gnea: any ideas? :) | 18:51 |
| michalski | coach_z: approx 3gb, maybe less | 18:51 |
| usser | Gman99999, tracker-preferences should bring up the settings and trackerd & starts the indexer | 18:51 |
| vix85 | michalski, I cant find skype in synaptic. | 18:51 |
| michalski | coach_z: certainly not more than 5gb | 18:51 |
| vix85 | erUSUL, on that page its just for ubuntu 7.10, it will work same in 8.04 ? | 18:51 |
| coach_z | michalski: so maybe going with xubuntu which appears to be around 1.5gig should be better because i am currently running off a 4Gig flash drive | 18:52 |
| Ssam` | dude...what on earth does an alternative Cd download from the net its been like 3 hours | 18:52 |
| erUSUL | vix85: i expect that but better ask in #ubuntu+1 | 18:52 |

| vix85 | oh okay. | 18:52 |
| usser | tenpaiyomi, hm what about ls -l on /home/git/repositories | 18:52 |
| michalski | coach_z: that maybe a better idea :) and then atleast you would have room for files/packages | 18:53 |
| Gman99999 | usser what do you type in to get it to index I tried trackerd and it gave me an error warning message | 18:53 |
| coach_z | michalski: thank you | 18:53 |
| michalski | np | 18:53 |
| michalski | * no problem | 18:53 |

| IndyGunFreak | warri: install xchat from the repositories | 18:54 |
| vix85 | michalski, yes.. do u know if there is a skype repository for amd64 ? | 18:54 |
| === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ | ||
| IndyGunFreak | Ssam`: shouldn't take that long, you've probably suffered some sort of failure | 18:54 |
| usser | tenpaiyomi, ah i see, ok its a bit of a security issue but if all your users are trusted then u can do | 18:54 |
| Gman99999 | usser it bascially gave me the about info about the tracker program when i typed in trackerd | 18:54 |
| Starnestommy | warri: I think 2.8.4 is already in the repositories | 18:54 |
| warri | IndyGunFreak: how do i do that | 18:54 |
| MatBoy | does someone know a good tool to sync evolution with a nokia phone ? | 18:54 |

| Ssam` | the fiels the same size as a gui installer | 18:55 |
| Ssam` | jeez | 18:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | warri: system/admin/synaptic package manager, search for xchat right click, mark for install | 18:55 |

| knoppix_ | hi guys | 18:55 |
| usser | tenpaiyomi, chmod -R a+rx /home/git | 18:55 |
| usser | Gman99999, so it should be fine | 18:55 |
| michalski | vix85: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free | 18:55 |
| michalski | thats the only one you need :) | 18:55 |
| Gnea | mikeyfbi: if you open a terminal window and type this in : sudo apt-get install libcairo2 does it say anything else? | 18:55 |

| usser | Gman99999, bah i use hardy and it has a nice config applet | 18:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | warri: ok, after that, close it, it will ask to reload your sources, do that, then go back to synaptic, and search for xchat again | 18:58 |
| albuntu | Surfz: try to enter in safe mode using the administrator user and change it | 18:58 |
| warri | now check again in packages or can i use sudo app-get xchat-2.8.2 | 18:58 |
| Gnea | mikeyfbi: where are you installing whiteboard from? | 18:58 |
| Starnestommy | warri: it's sudo apt-get install xchat | 18:58 |

| Surfz | albuntu, i tried it already doesnt work | 18:58 |
| warri | ahh | 18:58 |
| usser | Gman99999, sorry i just dont have access to gutsy cant really tell where to look | 18:58 |

| tanubis | stwange you want it to auto login to a certain account, or just come back up and prompt for login? | 18:59 |
| warri | sweet ty, now, when i installed i didnt have the security,ubuntu.com updates, how can i get those also? | 18:59 |
| stwange | tanubis, login to a certain account | 18:59 |
| Surfz | the weird part is i scanned the sam hive and it shows only 2 users admin and guest but my user is not there | 19:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | warri: did you install w/o a internet connection? | 19:00 |
| warri | yea | 19:00 |
| stwange | tanubis only because the crontab to bring the ssh tunnel back up is under that user, otherwise I couldn't care less if it logged in again | 19:00 |
| albuntu | i know its a stupid question but can anyone tell me what command do i have to use in konversation to identify my nick automatically ? | 19:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | warri: ok, system/admin/software sources | 19:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | click the updates tab. | 19:00 |

| Starnestommy | albuntu: put your nickserv password in the server password field in your client's settings | 19:01 |
| frikipedista3877 | hola | 19:01 |
| warri | check everything... i assume | 19:01 |
| tanubis | stwange go to system - administration - login window, go to security tab, and go enable automatic login for a certain user | 19:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | warri: on the update tab, click important security updatees, and recommended updates.. i wouldn't recommend the pre-release or unsupported | 19:01 |
| mikeyfbi | Gnea: http://code.google.com/p/linux-whiteboard/downloads/list | 19:01 |

| tanubis | stwange let me check | 19:01 |
| warri | kk | 19:01 |
| Surfz | albuntu, on setting u should find something like on connect commands type in /msg nickserv identify pass | 19:01 |
| kleppari | hi, I changed the workspace switcher to have five workspaces, however, I cannot assign keyboard shortcuts to more than two in the keyboard shortcuts app. | 19:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | warri: then close, and i think you'll ahve to reload again, then in a few minutes, update notifier will notify you you have updates | 19:01 |
| michalski | surfz: its in ##windows | 19:02 |
| albuntu | Starnestommy: do i have to put just the pass ? what about the server field ? | 19:02 |
| kleppari | does anyone have any tips? | 19:02 |
| usser | stwange, why not install crontab for root it'll run even without any users logged in | 19:02 |
| albuntu | Surfz: i tried that but the pass field is in the right side | 19:02 |
| Starnestommy | albuntu: just the password in the "server password" field | 19:02 |

| IndyGunFreak | PwnageTV|warri`z: because you were trying to compile software, and frankly, your new so thats not a good idea just yet.. stick with whats in the repositories | 19:05 |

| g[r]eek | Hi guys - I am installing Ubuntu using the alternate cd text intallation - I am setting up RAID 1. during the MD setup phase, it asks me how many spare devices I want for the RAID1 array. What are these spare devices? | 19:09 |
| akafurious | hello everyone | 19:09 |
| g[r]eek | Are they the same as hot spares? | 19:10 |
| stwange | ok fingers crossed usser :) | 19:10 |
| usser | stwange, haha nah it'll work | 19:10 |
| g[r]eek | Where I leave a 3rd "spare" drive connected, wich automatically takes over from a failed drive in the active 2-drive array? | 19:10 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: are you sure you want to setup a software raid instead of a hardware raid? | 19:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I cant find my link for the third DVD of the Gutsy Repositories. Please tell me someone else has it available | 19:10 |
| usser | stwange, unless syntax is messed up or something | 19:10 |
| g[r]eek | gnea: Yeah. | 19:10 |
| g[r]eek | Gnea: Not a busy machine. | 19:10 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: kewl. yeah, iirc, those would be spare drives that could be contributed to the array | 19:11 |
| stwange | usser yeah it's a bash script that is used to running as not root. I checked it over and it looked ok (ie. all the paths were fully formed etc.), but I guess there's only one way to find out for sure | 19:11 |
| bieb | I dont believe you can have a hot spare in a RAID1 | 19:11 |
| g[r]eek | Gnea: I don't need a hot spare. But I have purchased a 3rd hard drive for off-site backups just in case. I was hoping I could "catch up" my off-site backed up data by simply plugging in the 3rd hard drive once a week and mirroring the active drives. Is this possible? | 19:12 |
| usser | stwange, heh, cant u ssh to that machine why "lost it"? | 19:12 |
| shinoj | hi | 19:12 |
| badday | hi | 19:12 |
| bieb | g[r]eek: what are you gonna use for backup?? | 19:12 |
| g[r]eek | bieb: The 3rd off-site hard drive in case of fire or theft. | 19:12 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: sure, just don't include it in the array and the OS should see it as a separate drive upon the final installation | 19:12 |
| sid | hello | 19:13 |
| g[r]eek | Gnea: Ok but then can I at a later stage unplug one of the active drives, plug in the dedicated offsite drive, build a mirror of the data on that, and then take it back out again? | 19:13 |
| sid | does anyone know if geforce 7200 GS will work fine with Ubuntu (+3d efects) | 19:13 |
| bieb | g[r]eek.. I was wondering if you were going to build a PC for that drive that is offsite.. then you could have used rsync or the rsnapshot project to backup | 19:13 |
| sid | also does 7.10 support AHIC? | 19:14 |
| XB23 | why uploading via sftp - would that slow wget down as well? | 19:14 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: i don't see why not, as long as you follow the MD spec | 19:14 |
| boywholinuxed | hi | 19:14 |
| boywholinuxed | anyone there? | 19:14 |
| Gnea | !anyone | 19:14 |
| g[r]eek | bieb: Nah it's just a stand-along offsite drive for offsite backup. Nothing fancy. For quick swap out of a failed drive on the active RAID 1 array too | 19:14 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 19:14 |
| bieb | nope | 19:14 |
| === gary is now known as Gary | ||
| g[r]eek | Gnea: Ok cool. | 19:14 |
| === eth01 is now known as Eth01 | ||
| boywholinuxed | bye | 19:15 |
| g[r]eek | Gnea: I could just export the database and copy over the file system - but it would be nice if I could build a mirror on the offsite drive once a week. It would make the swapping out of a failed drive super quick | 19:15 |
| stwange | usser - it's behind a NAT, so I have to create a reverse tunnel from it to get in, the bash script checks for the tunnel every minute and creates a new one if it's gone down | 19:15 |
| bieb | Gnea: wont breaking and recreating the mirror once a week be kinda dangerous? | 19:15 |
| Blinny | I need to update the version of a single module in my generic kernel. Do I need to recompile an entire new kernel, or can I simply compile the module I need against the current kernel source? | 19:15 |
| usser | stwange, oh i see | 19:15 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: i guess it depends on how you want to perform the weekly backup | 19:16 |
| g[r]eek | bieb, Gnea - I was kinda hoping I could simply take out the one active drive and put in the offsite drive, build a mirror on that and swap them again | 19:16 |
| stwange | usser, it's back up :) thanks. Rebooting didn't solve the issue though. | 19:16 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: like bieb said, rsync would be the perfect option | 19:16 |
| g[r]eek | Gnea: Painlessly! :) | 19:16 |
| mmm4m5m | Question: Please tell me in bash script, what is difference between 'if [[ ... ]];' and 'if [ ... ];' ? | 19:16 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: yeah :) | 19:16 |
| bieb | Painlessly??? ummmmm | 19:16 |
| bieb | LOL | 19:16 |
| g[r]eek | What does rsync do in a nutshell? | 19:16 |

| usser | stwange, what was the issue? | 19:17 |
| sriramoman | how do i install gambas on ubuntu gutsy amd64? | 19:17 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: it's a program that fascilitates backup procedures, and has all of the options that windows backup has (incremental, full, etc), but with the added functionality that windows backup lacks (like doing it over the network and over ssh) | 19:17 |
| Shii | hey everyone, i've got a monitor resolution problem | 19:17 |
| stwange | usser really really slow internet, I mean it went from 500kb/s download to 20 if I was lucky, and it's even slow to type on it over ssh. I didn't actually think reboot would solve it, but it was worth a try | 19:17 |
| g[r]eek | Here is another way to ask my question. I have a RAID 1 with two mirrored drives. One of the drives fails. I get a new drive and take out the failed one. What must I do to get this new drive to mirror the existing working drive? | 19:17 |
| minimec | Blinny: Compiling the module should do... move the old module out of tthe modules directory | 19:18 |
| mmm4m5m | agentc0re: 10x :) | 19:18 |
| bieb | g[r]eek: if you have a PC of any sort laying around.. I would load Ubuntu and rsnapshot.. it is wicked fast after the first backup... rsnapshot.org | 19:18 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: i do believe the RAID docs explain that :) | 19:18 |

| joncalhoun | Hey, I was wondering if there was any sort of way to make Ventrilo 3 work for Ubuntu. If you install it via wine it tends to have problems. | 19:18 |
| bieb | and rsnapshot is in the Ubuntu repositories | 19:18 |
| jonathan_ | JMS | 19:18 |
| tushyd | is it easy to install pulseaudio in gutsy? | 19:18 |
| agentc0re | I recommend that you use LVM raid over fakeraid. | 19:18 |
| usser | stwange, oh well | 19:18 |
| noodlesgc | sriramoman try sudo apt-get install gambas | 19:19 |
| agentc0re | if your MB fails, you're dead in the water until you get that same exact board. | 19:19 |
| Gnea | g[r]eek: i second bieb's suggestion again ;) | 19:19 |
| g[r]eek | Eek I'd prefer to avoid those technical details. I am simply setting up RAID during the installer phase | 19:19 |
| g[r]eek | rnsanpshot | 19:19 |
| agentc0re | if you do a LVM raid, you get a new MB reinstall and resetup LVM raid and all your stuff is there. | 19:19 |
| minimec | tushyd: there is a ubuntu wiki for it in the internet. Should be easy to find... | 19:19 |

| Jaza | the one for ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| noodlesgc | Jaza yes | 19:33 |
| Shiba | bartmon: obviously you can't run reiser as your root partition on Ubuntu. But when given the choice I'll use reiser where possible. | 19:33 |
| noodlesgc | Jaza type it into a terminal as root | 19:33 |
| JohnLee | i have to say I was impresed with ubuntu on my new HP wireless laptop | 19:33 |
| warri | anyone have any suggestions for desktop themes/eyecandy + functionality? And also how to install them ? | 19:34 |
| JohnLee | I had heard horror stories about wireless drivers on linux but it seems to work great for me | 19:34 |
| shtoom | hi all of a sudden I've lost sound on my laptop and all the multimedia applications are simply hanging now | 19:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !themes | 19:34 |
| ubotu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 19:34 |
| Shiba | bartmon: thus I use reiser on Gentoo and ext3 on Ubuntu (where I'm forced to) | 19:34 |
| dizzyd87 | JohnLee: Ubuntu is looking very promising that's for sure, especially for people that are retarded at linux like me :P | 19:34 |
| Jaza | OK I'll try that thanks, huh? why do I need to type in to terminal? | 19:34 |
| algyz | JohnLee: I was using gnome for a long time, >1 year, but switched to kde :) | 19:34 |
| shtoom | I am using ubuntu gusty | 19:34 |
| dizzyd87 | algyz: why the switch? | 19:34 |
| algyz | !kde | JohnLee | 19:34 |
| ubotu | JohnLee: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 19:34 |
| warri | !changethemes | 19:34 |

| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, please explain what all you did or installed prior to the problem | 19:35 |
| noodlesgc | Jaza i dont think that ubuntu has samba setup by default | 19:35 |
| algyz | dizzyd87: gnome was using a lot of resources | 19:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot | 19:35 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:35 |
| algyz | and now I have huge problems with gnome :( | 19:35 |
| shtoom | Jack_Sparrow : as far as i can remember i've run update-manager | 19:35 |
| JohnLee | I have used KDE on PCLinuxOS and Knoppix and liked it fine but its quite complex to really get familiar with | 19:35 |
| Jaza | how do I do that through a terminal? what command do I use? | 19:35 |
| shtoom | which did some ghost script related upgrades | 19:35 |
| noodlesgc | Jaza Applications->Accessories->Terminal | 19:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, Have you added any custom repos? as in NON-standard ones | 19:36 |
| JohnLee | the best thing about KDE seems to be some really great customizations, artwork and lots and lots of apps being written for it | 19:36 |
| shtoom | Jack_SParrow: you mean universal repos ? | 19:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | JohnLee: i think KDE is uglier than Rosie Odonell and Ellen Degeneres | 19:36 |
| algyz | last days tried gnome again, big problems with xrdb... | 19:36 |
| Jaza | what command do I use? | 19:36 |
| noodlesgc | Jaza sudo smbpasswd | 19:37 |
| algyz | IndyGunFreak: I think kde is nice :P | 19:37 |
| linkinxp | what is the command again for emerald --replace && own? deown? | 19:37 |
| noodlesgc | !offtopic | algyz | 19:37 |
| Jaza | OK thanks | 19:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, no.. not universe.. here run this.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 19:37 |
| ubotu | algyz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:37 |
| linkinxp | i got it deown | 19:37 |
| linkinxp | :D | 19:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | algyz: i don't know, maybe in an ugly kid sort of way.. its not for me though | 19:37 |
| JohnLee | well the default appearance depends a lot on the distro you are using but you have a HUGE amount of choice in customizing it to look anyway you want | 19:37 |
| * algyz sry | 19:37 | |
| JohnLee | but it does take a lot of time | 19:37 |
| MrBill | I have just installed Ubuntu at a friends house, everything is installed and running good, with the exception that seemingly at random times his mouse and keyboard will both die. You can see that the system has not frozen, we were watching something in VLC one time and it kept playing just fine, so we hooked up a PS/2 keyboard, and it still works fine when the USB devices fail out. He's completely new to linux, and i'm fairly new. Not really sure | 19:38 |
| MrBill | where to start to look as far as chasing down a solution for this. What log files should we be checking for clues? | 19:38 |
| Shiba | I'm trying to resolve an automount on ubuntu 6.10 (both 64-bit and 32-bit). I have an NFS share that is correctly exporting /home, and automounts are working for user accounts at login. However, for directories not associated with user accounts, automount fails: "automount [pid]: failed to mount /home/dir" | 19:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JohnLee, Your conversation would be better in Ubuntu-offtopic | 19:38 |
| JohnLee | Gnome seems to be much less customizable but alos much simpler and easier to understand | 19:38 |
| Jaza | did not work | 19:38 |
| noodlesgc | Jaza what happened | 19:38 |
| Shiba | this automount configuration works elsewhere, on rhel/fc/other machines | 19:38 |
| Shiba | leading me to think this was patched as a "security" measure by the Ubuntu developers | 19:39 |
| Jaza | it still asks me for a password and I type it in and asks me again | 19:39 |
| Shiba | is there a channel I can speak with the Ubuntu developers in? | 19:39 |
| noodlesgc | !smb | Jaza | 19:39 |
| shtoom | Jack_Sparrow: here is the link http://pastebin.com/d2fc84707 | 19:40 |
| Jaza | ? | 19:40 |
| ubotu | Jaza: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 19:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 19:40 |
| Jaza | OK thanks | 19:40 |
| g[r]eek | Gnea, bieb: Does syncing a new drive in a RAID1 array take hours / days / minutes? | 19:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, Problem was easy to spot.. you used automatix.. and the upgrade borked you .. | 19:40 |
| blicket | when you install the the kernel-devel pkg in yum where do they put the source? And the same question when the same question when installing the kernelxxxx.src.rpm? | 19:40 |
| g[r]eek | 320gb drives, but only about 100gb is used | 19:41 |
| g[r]eek | And the server will be offline (ie: no outsiders causing activity on it) during the sync | 19:41 |
| Pici | blicket: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, perhaps you should be asking in your distro specific channel. | 19:41 |
| linkinxp | where i found the Grub file that has the boot list? | 19:41 |
| g[r]eek | I'm just wondering how long it'll tke | 19:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rpm | 19:41 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 19:41 |
| jelabarre | IndyGunFreak: I was thinking KDE was more like Janet Reno | 19:41 |
| shtoom | Jack_Sparrow: but I've rarely used automatix directly | 19:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | jelabarre: well, thats kinda pot calling the kettle black..lol | 19:42 |
| shtoom | most of the time i run update-manager | 19:42 |
| blicket | ubotu: you're right..wrong channel | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, I guarantee that is your problem and unless you have a backup prior to using/installing automatix. I dont have any solutions | 19:42 |
| warri | !games | 19:42 |
| ubotu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 19:42 |
| jelabarre | oh, sorry, that's too harsh. Actually Windows would be Janet Reno. Perhaps JR & Hillary Clinton in a three-way with Rosie... | 19:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !automatix | 19:43 |
| ubotu | Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 19:43 |
| g[r]eek | Perhaps someone else could answer - how long would an average sync of a new drive on a RAID1 array take? | 19:43 |
| warri | i wonder does that include running steam on ubuntu? | 19:43 |
| g[r]eek | More than 1 hour? | 19:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot > jelabarre, | 19:43 |
| bya | #ubuntu-fr | 19:43 |
| shtoom | Jack_Sparrow:Any one else reported same kind of problem recently ? | 19:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, Constantly have people with that issue | 19:44 |
| jelabarre | but seriously, now. I'm trying to get a Thinkpad modem to work with 8.10/Hardy. I have to get it working on both a T23 (Agere WinModem56) and a T41 (Intel AC'97) | 19:45 |
| warri | okay, i downloaded the theme package, but i do not know how to install it, i tried to drag it into my themes window, but it said it was an invalid theme. | 19:45 |
| warri | i downloaded the GTK 2.x ubuntu_sunrize | 19:45 |
| shtoom | Jack_Sparrow: But I see every time what update-manager is installing nothing sound related was upgraded before losing it | 19:45 |
| darklite | hi | 19:46 |
| shtoom | its only some ghost script packages | 19:46 |
| noodlesgc | warri go to your appearances window and click the "Install Theme" button | 19:46 |
| jelabarre | until the house gets rebuilt (probably a year), I'll be stuck with Dial-up at the place we're staying. So I need to get a working modem sooner rather than later | 19:46 |
| warri | i tried that, but what should i chose to open the .tar.gz | 19:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, Your source list has feisty repos, gutsy repos automatix repos plus backports | 19:46 |
| umj_ | how to know where a software was installed, which folder and where | 19:46 |
| noodlesgc | warri yes, the tar.gz | 19:46 |
| warri | okay so i chose that | 19:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shtoom, Sorry, cant help with your situation.. | 19:47 |
| warri | and it give me an error | 19:47 |
| umj_ | how to know where a software was installed, which folder and where | 19:47 |
| jelabarre | I'm just wondering which kernel level I should be at; supposedly the 2.6.24-15 was supposed to have the Agere/Lucent modem support re-enabled, but this appears not to be the case | 19:47 |
| shtoom | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for your time I'll dig deeper into it | 19:47 |
| warri | nsufficient permissions to install the theme in: | 19:47 |
| warri | /home/warri/.theme | 19:48 |
| darklite | I'd like to update the nvidia driver, but the version in the repo seems to be very old (100.14.19) | 19:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | umj_, What were you trying to install and how did you install it | 19:48 |
| umj | openttd | 19:48 |
| mawa | hi | 19:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | warri, you usuall drag and drop the new theme onto the open theme manager.. | 19:48 |
| noodlesgc | warri type this: sudo chown warri ~/.themes | 19:48 |
| mawa | i'm running the latest Heron on a MacBook, for months sound hasn't worked. is this a known issue? | 19:48 |
| Pici | mawa: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. | 19:48 |
| r00723r0 | Any simple software to clip audio? | 19:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darklite, it may be old, but it is stable, working and wont need to be redone after every kernel update | 19:49 |
| mawa | Pici, ok | 19:49 |
| warri | okay, now it says too many levels of symbolic links | 19:49 |
| noodlesgc | r00723r0 audacity, sweep | 19:49 |
| * pimplife what is the name of that thing that has app's on it like the mac | 19:49 | |
| fatereconciled | Audacity | 19:49 |

| r00723r0 | noodlesgc, Audacity is WAY too big. | 19:49 |
| fatereconciled | Woo laggy. | 19:49 |

| Jack_Sparrow | pimplife, cairo-dock is another. | 19:50 |
| g[r]eek | Hi could someone provide me with an estimate of how long it takes a newly added drive to mirror an existing drive in a (software) RAID1 array? Roughly 100gb, and the server will have no other users during the RAID1 recovery. | 19:50 |
| darklite | I'll double-check if that one support it though | 19:50 |
| noodlesgc | IndyGunFreak i have to go, warri is having permission issues with his ~/.themes directory, the theme package is fine | 19:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | darklite, You should not need a newer version for that res.. just your current driver configured correctly which you would need to do with a newer driver anyhow | 19:51 |

| Lee123 | proteus: My Cm-Media CI9 Card is not picked up by Alsa it only says ICH5 | 20:06 |
| Exteris | Seveas, sorry | 20:06 |
| Lee123 | any ideas? | 20:06 |
| fatereconciled | Neo: You can install WMWare Workstation from the repos. | 20:06 |
| fatereconciled | It's really easy to set up. | 20:07 |
| Seveas | Lee123, does lspci see it (if it's pci) or lsusb (if usb) | 20:07 |
| danbhfive | Sam827: try this site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ | 20:07 |
| proteus | Lee123: Hmm, I haven't dealt with the CI9, but i recall fighting with my C-Media a few years back... it's a royal pain, to say the least. | 20:07 |
| DShepherd | anyone know a free tool i can use to convert an irc log to xml ? | 20:07 |
| Seveas | DShepherd, sed | 20:07 |
| proteus | I used the CMI8788 | 20:07 |
| Neowulffl | Fat: ill try it but i would rather do an XP clean install then install ubuntu on a sep part | 20:07 |
| DShepherd | Seveas, :-) | 20:07 |
| proteus | is that the chipset used on the CI9? | 20:08 |
| Lee123 | Did you resolve and Seveas im on Xp atm i will switch soon and check that | 20:08 |
| Diurpaneus | hello it is a romanian guy there? | 20:08 |
| Lee123 | Erm no i think its a different chipset | 20:08 |

| Seveas | I'm keeping score tonight =) | 20:09 |
| Seveas | hi magnus | 20:09 |
| Lee123 | proteus did you end up fixing it? | 20:09 |
| proteus | Lee123: I recall that I had to add an alsactl restore to my startup scripts, because for some reason the settings didn't automatically restore... and i had to modify the actual config, the gui/cli tools didn't configure things properly. | 20:09 |
| DShepherd | Seveas, i was hoping to be a little lazier that that. | 20:09 |
| Seveas | DShepherd, you'd spend as much time googling for something as writing a quick sed :) | 20:10 |
| fatereconciled | Anyone here familiar with concurrent booting? | 20:10 |
| Lee123 | yrh i heard about the startup scripts but i honestly have no clue where to start, are you still using the C-media? | 20:10 |
| Seveas | fatereconciled, depends on what you mean by that | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | fatereconciled: dual boot win and linux ? | 20:10 |

| magnus | is there any way to change "resolution" in the terminal (tty1-6)? | 20:11 |
| erUSUL | fatereconciled: the generic kernel should support hyperthreading just fine afaik | 20:11 |
| Seveas | fatereconciled, all ubuntu kernels support SMP | 20:11 |
| proteus | Lee123: looking on cmedia's site, I don't see a CI9, have you checked dmesg to see which chipset it's using? | 20:11 |
| proteus | Lee123: Yeah, things like duplex never worked right, ESD would always lag badly, etc | 20:12 |
| Lee123 | sorry it was a typo its the C-Media CMI9761 | 20:12 |
| fatereconciled | I know. But when I try to enable I get a long list of errors in rc | 20:12 |

| Marine__ | IndyGunFreak: simply because i get the option for WEP, just not WPA | 20:49 |
| Marine__ | using Unetbootin btw | 20:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Marine_: guess it depends on the device, and how its used, i'm using madwifi... | 20:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Marine_: what device? | 20:49 |
| Marine__ | ipw2200 | 20:49 |

| jinarion | mrbill i had to reset the main clock after setting the new 1 | 21:02 |
| BigCanOfTuna | There is probably an obvious answer to this, but why, when I do an apt-get install, I get prompted to mount /cdrom? when I mount it and run apt-get, it simply unmounts it prompts me to mount it again...it is the correct disc, btw. | 21:02 |

| mikeyfbi | i was wondering if i could do the same with xchat or any app | 21:06 |
| usser | ganastasiou, restarted vsftpd i assume? | 21:06 |
| erUSUL | |enter | ganastasiou | 21:06 |

| usser | ganastasiou, not really | 21:07 |
| Diurpaneus | no :( | 21:07 |
| Seveas | mikeyfbi, looks like you can do that with any app that has a static title and/or lets you set one | 21:07 |
| usser | ganastasiou, just when it asks for login enter anonymous | 21:07 |

| D3RGPS31 | using ALSA, i can't hear audio from WINE when using something else that uses audio, requesting workaround or fix... pays in oatmeal cookies! | 21:16 |

| === rd is now known as WEEjei | ||
| usser | ganastasiou, and your vsftpd.conf points to the "/" of your harddrive with anonymous writing enabled | 21:22 |
| usser | ganastasiou, its a gaping security hole which vsftpd just cant allow | 21:22 |
| Bitmess | anyone know about error pci: cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0 please? | 21:22 |
| ganastasiou | so noone can login to root | 21:22 |
| mikeyfbi | kane77: thank you! i'll check right away. also, do you know where i could see a 'tips and tricks' for xchat...ie using USERNAME: to send private, etc | 21:23 |
| usser | ganastasiou, no why, users that are known to the system can login, its only anonymous users that pose the security risk | 21:23 |
| ganastasiou | hmm ok | 21:24 |
| kane77 | mikeyfbi, I'd say http://xchat.org/docs | 21:24 |
| usser | ganastasiou, it depends on what do u want to do | 21:24 |
| ganastasiou | now i should move all the files from /backup to /backup/ftp_root | 21:24 |
| kane77 | mikeyfbi, or even better http://t0x.in/xchat.html | 21:24 |
| habernet | i just installed kiba dock and it disabled all of my compiz settings and i can no longer acess ccsm(nothing pops up when i click on it) how do i fix this? | 21:24 |
| usser | ganastasiou, if u want to setup an anonymous ftp server from which everyone can download then u should chmod a-w /media/backup | 21:25 |
| Diurpaneus | erUSUL: it is possible to reset by misstake the usb 2.0 ports | 21:25 |
| usser | ganastasiou, or disable anonymous writing capabilities in vsftpd.conf | 21:25 |
| ganastasiou | but i have a point here,when i login from mozilla i cant see the folders | 21:25 |
| usser | ganastasiou, on the other hand if you're setting up ftp server for your own personal use then disable anonymous altogether | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | Diurpaneus: afaik no there is no way i know of | 21:26 |
| ganastasiou | only with client i can see them | 21:26 |

| Damion | so I've been poking around in Microsoft System Information | 21:27 |
| ganastasiou | i want it for a wireless network and for internet too when i open the port for this reason | 21:28 |
| ganastasiou | my first priority is wireless | 21:28 |
| Damion | where it says there is a problem with my secondary IDE controller (dual fifo) | 21:28 |
| shamshel | does anyone know of a good gtk front-end to "at" or cron? | 21:29 |
| usser | ganastasiou, right but do you want it to be public, like a download.com or just for your own use? | 21:29 |
| usser | ganastasiou, anyhow to let mozilla see it you need to put something like this in conf file http://pastebin.com/m361b0c13 | 21:29 |
| ganastasiou | i made it | 21:29 |
| ganastasiou | with mozilla | 21:29 |
| usser | ganastasiou, oh cool | 21:30 |
| ganastasiou | now i want only for my wireless | 21:30 |
| ganastasiou | soon i will make dns | 21:30 |
| fbc | is there any advantage using ext3 over ext2 for a usb external drive? | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | fbc: no | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | fbc: no if it is a flash drive i meant | 21:31 |
| usser | ganastasiou, i dont know what you mean? how is setup now? | 21:31 |
| unop_ | fbc, yes, replaying the journal can help in recovery if your filesystem is ever in trouble | 21:31 |
| ganastasiou | now it is only for wireless | 21:31 |
| ganastasiou | its working great due to your help | 21:31 |
| ganastasiou | but | 21:31 |
| ganastasiou | i want to make some changes | 21:32 |
| ganastasiou | so someone can upload | 21:32 |
| Damion | microsoft system information says: | 21:32 |
| ganastasiou | not someone,anyone | 21:32 |
| erUSUL | !enter | ganastasiou | 21:32 |
| ubotu | ganastasiou: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:32 |
| ganastasiou | oo sorry | 21:32 |
| fbc | unop_, Cool thanks.. yeah it's a 500gb external drive full of my favorite shows and movies. I'd have a cow if I lost my 1969 spiderman episodes. | 21:32 |
| usser | ganastasiou, ok how u usually setup an ftp server | 21:32 |
| ganastasiou | usser, what do u mean? | 21:33 |
| usser | ganastasiou, is u create a special directory called upload | 21:33 |
| Damion | Secondary IDE Controller (dual FIFO) This device has a problem: Code 9 (0x9). Device failure: Try changing the hardware for this device. If that doesn't work, check your hardware documentation | 21:33 |
| Damion | do you think that might have something to do with my ubuntu/xubuntu problem? | 21:33 |
| fbc | unop_, one more question. should it be setup as the primary or just an extended partition.. | 21:34 |
| usser | ganastasiou, to which random ppl can upload from anywhere else in the ftp tree they can only read | 21:34 |
| fbc | unop_, does it matter? | 21:34 |
| ganastasiou | usser, not necesserily....my default ftp directory want to be used for the same purpose | 21:34 |
| fbc | unop_, I figure primary partitiona are for bootable drives. | 21:34 |
| ganastasiou | upload and download the same dir | 21:34 |
| usser | ganastasiou, thats not safe! | 21:34 |
| unop_ | fbc, it doesn't matter and if i remember correctly, you don't need to use MS-DOS disklabels, they can be sun or bsd disklabels (which don't have the concept of primary and extended partitions) | 21:34 |
| houmala | Is there a NVU version ubuntu ??? | 21:35 |
| ganastasiou | i know the people who use the server | 21:35 |
| unop_ | fbc, thats true for ms-dos disklabels yes | 21:35 |
| usser | ganastasiou, its just not safe to let random ppl writing access on the whole ftp tree | 21:35 |
| ganastasiou | it in a wireless network | 21:36 |
| ganastasiou | it is in a wireless network | 21:36 |
| gavi | folks, in ubuntu 7.10 how can i transfer files from pc to camera? | 21:36 |
| SnoFox | Hmm | 21:36 |
| usser | ganastasiou, but u said u wanted to expand it later so its accessible from the internet? | 21:36 |
| unop_ | anyone here just recently installed ubuntu and not removed any packages since the install? i need a favour from you. | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | gavi: depends on the camera most function like a usb mass-storage and mount like a normal usb flash device | 21:36 |
| ganastasiou | yes i want to change it when i give access to internet ofc | 21:36 |
| SnoFox | Helps >.< | 21:37 |
| === mike____ is now known as mike-ekim | ||
| marx2k | man I hope the next version of Ubuntu has better NVidia integration | 21:37 |
| gavi | erUSUL, i pluged in the camera and it only lets me download frmo camera to a folder on the pc, i want to do it the other wya | 21:37 |
| usser | ganastasiou, so do it how its supposed to be done from the beginning | 21:37 |
| mike-ekim | Hi, I just added a new user, I am logged into user1 using Kubuntu, i opened up a terminal, did su - user2, and all worked perfectly, but when i tried to launch skype by command line 'skype &' it doesnt do anything... anyone know why? | 21:38 |
| mike-ekim | i tried to asssign to same groups as user1 which can launch it without a problem, any suggesstions? | 21:38 |
| proteus | try launching it without the & :P | 21:38 |
| proteus | see if there are any errors | 21:38 |
| erUSUL | gavi: does the camera appears mounted on your Desktop ? | 21:38 |
| marx2k | using & doesnt get rid of debug messages | 21:38 |
| gavi | no, it isnt | 21:38 |
| mike-ekim | no, just returns Exit | 21:38 |
| marx2k | I dont think... | 21:38 |
| mike-ekim | and does nothing | 21:38 |
| gavi | i dont see it in the /media/ folder either | 21:38 |
| ganastasiou | aha u mean i have to do it from the begging to do sth like this? | 21:39 |
| erUSUL | gavi: maybe it is one of the cameras that only work trough libgphoto ... have you tried with f-spot or better gtkam ??? | 21:40 |
| SnoFox | When I open Totem Movie Player to play a .mp3 or .wma file, it has me search for the codec. When I click one of the Plugins, it says It's restricted; I click Confirm to continue the installation, and it says "The list of applications is int availabe"; when I Click "Refresh" it does something, then lets me pick the plugins again. When I click one of the plug ins, it goes back to the restricted screen, then the reload screen, so I'm stuck in a loop. | 21:40 |
| gavi | i have f-spot on the computer, but it looks to me that i can only download to pc and not the other way around, am i wrong? | 21:40 |
| gavi | never heard of gtkam... is it anygood? | 21:41 |
| SnoFox | What to I do? >.> | 21:41 |
| usser | ganastasiou, ok heres what u do | 21:41 |

| usser | ganastasiou, for that u have to disable anon_upload_enable and anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES | 21:44 |
| === HellScream is now known as Locutus_of_Borg | ||

| ganastasiou | and put the sudo u gave me and its ready? | 21:44 |
| ganastasiou | itdoesnt hide my root folder? | 21:45 |

| usser | ganastasiou, its not safe | 21:46 |
| ganastasiou | i cannot understand the reason | 21:46 |
| usser | ganastasiou, ok look you have an ftp server with useful files and videos and what not, one day im browsing the net and stumble upon your anonymous server which doesnt restrict me from wrecking havoc so i delete everything | 21:50 |
| ganastasiou | yes but i told u that i know the persons who use my ftp in wlan | 21:50 |
| ganastasiou | so imnot afraid of that | 21:50 |
| ganastasiou | but | 21:50 |
| ganastasiou | in internet i want to protect ftp so noone should upload | 21:51 |
| dryrot | how do i make sound in Skype work ? | 21:51 |
| unop_ | ganadist, permissions also help against "accidental mistakes" by _you_ yourself and other people who use the server | 21:51 |
| ganastasiou | my english arent good,so sorry for misunderstanding | 21:51 |
| usser | ganastasiou, that means that for inet you'll have to setup another ftp server cause u cant have it both ways | 21:51 |
| unop_ | ganadist, in anycase, it's better to be safe than sorry, it's wise to err on the side of safety | 21:52 |
| ChaosTheory | How do I go to the media folder in terminal? | 21:52 |
| usser | ganadist, if u want to do something like this then vsftpd wasnt the best choice | 21:52 |

| zoobox | balzac: what is eBox? sounds like a windowmanager.... | 21:54 |
| ilembitov | Hi, all. How do I add getdeb.net as a repo? | 21:54 |
| ChaosTheory | What does it mean if your files can't be moved to the trash? | 21:54 |
| usser | ganastasiou, all i can say is vsftpd doesnt allows it for sure, hence the name Very Secure Ftp Daemon | 21:54 |
| balzac | zoobox: eBox is the configuration utility which can handle squid and other networking features | 21:54 |
| ChaosTheory | I tried to transfer some files onto my flash drive and some of them were corrupted and it messed the whole thing up. | 21:55 |
| balzac | it's for ubuntu server, i think | 21:55 |
| ChaosTheory | Now I'm trying to delete them and I can't? | 21:55 |

| balzac | It's good because I'm sick of editing squid config files, trying to get something to work | 21:55 |
| balzac | anyway, networking is really complicated, so I'm not having any success, even with eBox and its documentation | 21:55 |
| ChaosTheory | It says my flash drive is read-only? | 21:56 |

| FFEMTcJ | ty | 22:03 |
| unop_ | level09_, you should be careful when implementing sites that allow that kind of control - but php allows you to perform shell commands to do those kind of job (use with caution), more on that in #php | 22:04 |
| level09_ | unop_: changing files ownership to root user should do that right ? | 22:05 |

| Odd-rationale | mysterycool: encrypted dvd? | 22:18 |
| mysterycool | i just rented it from the store but it won't play in ubuntu | 22:18 |

| mysterycool | Totem | 22:19 |

| scottyL | I'm thinking about installing Gutsy Server on an old computer and want to format XP off of it.... any reason I shouldn't just type format c: ? | 22:19 |
| Odd-rationale | mysterycool: you will have to replace it with totem-xine in order to play encypted dvds | 22:20 |
| hischild | scottyL, no need to format. You can create partitions during install. | 22:20 |
| Odd-rationale | mysterycool: to do that do: sudo apt-get install totem-xine | 22:20 |
| tommmied | Seveas, this isn't about piracy. i am trying to figure out why ubuntu all of a sudden crashes | 22:20 |
| mysterycool | hmm | 22:20 |
| scottyL | hischild: But... I don't want to keep XP on there. Wouldn't it just take up space I could use otherwise? | 22:20 |
| mysterycool | k thanks! ;) | 22:20 |
| scottyL | I'm not going to be using XP anymore | 22:20 |
| Odd-rationale | mysterycool: it will warn you that it will remove totem-gstreamer. but that is ok. | 22:21 |
| tommmied | and how to find out whats going on when it crashes so I can use this as a guide in th future | 22:21 |
| mysterycool | kk | 22:21 |
| mysterycool | c: | 22:21 |
| mysterycool | :D | 22:21 |
| XsPiDeR | mysterycool: install gstream-plugins-ugly | 22:21 |
| hischild | scottyL, if you want to remove XP, you can remove the partitions that contain XP during installation. Then you can create one or more partitions to use for ubuntu gutsy. | 22:21 |
| Odd-rationale | mysterycool: tell when that is done | 22:21 |
| sebastian_ | #ubuntu-es | 22:21 |
| scottyL | hischild: So, all I should do is boot the computer with the CD in the drive and take care of it that way? | 22:22 |
| tommmied | Seveas, can you tell me what you would do to find out what was causing an app to crash and use full cpu? | 22:22 |
| mysterycool | odd-rationale: kk | 22:22 |
| jonphilpott_ | anyone got any packaging-fu that can help me create a debian package? | 22:22 |
| hischild | scottyL, that's the easiest way to do it yes. | 22:22 |
| Odd-rationale | mysterycool: now for the codecs: do : sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg | 22:22 |
| scottyL | hischild: Thanks anyway | 22:22 |
| Seveas | tommmied, the crashlogs generated by apport. Though that doesn't work for non-ubuntu software like dc++ | 22:23 |

| tommmied | how would you do something like that... :-/ | 22:24 |

| marina | HI! | 22:36 |
| Damion | is there no way to do that if the CDs just crash with busybox errors every time I try them? | 22:36 |
| scottyL | I'm installing Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 Server and I'm running into a problem wiht the DHCP network autoconfiguration | 22:36 |
| Odd-rationale | marina: hello | 22:36 |
| Starnestommy | Damion: you could try Ubuntu in a virtual machine | 22:36 |
| damaltor_ | Damion: do the error check feature first. | 22:37 |
| Damion | do you mean "Check CD Integrity"? | 22:37 |
| damaltor_ | Damion: yes | 22:37 |
| Damion | I get the same error listed in that forums post when I try and check CD integrity | 22:37 |
| Damion | on both ubuntu and xubuntu | 22:37 |
| scottyL | This is a pretty dumb question... but, how can I find out if I have a DHCP network? | 22:38 |
| damaltor_ | Damion: well, if you get an error while checking integrity, you ought to re-download and re-burn. | 22:38 |
| scottyL | I'm pretty sure that the answer is "if you have to ask, you don't have one" | 22:38 |
| Damion | <damaltor_> Damion: well, if you get an error while checking integrity, you ought to re-download and re-burn. <-- this is on a factory-shipped liveCD | 22:38 |
| scottyL | Or, "I'm doing this at my house, so it's likely I don't have one" | 22:38 |
| damaltor_ | scottyL: do you have a router? | 22:38 |
| scottyL | Yup | 22:38 |
| Damion | and I get the same error, word for word, on my home-burnt xubuntu liveCD | 22:38 |
| scottyL | damaltor: Yes, we have a wireless Linksys N router (which supports B and G, which covers the wireless card my computer has) | 22:39 |
| Damion | which I burnt at 8x off of a satisfactory hash | 22:39 |
| damaltor_ | Damion: try to download by hand and burn. if the integrity is not ok, the disks are erroneus | 22:39 |
| Damion | I tried that | 22:39 |
| damaltor_ | scottyL: do you have to set up ip numbers manually? | 22:39 |
| Starnestommy | Damion: try a lower burn speed | 22:39 |
| imran | hello | 22:39 |
| Damion | 8x is low as I can go | 22:39 |
| scottyL | damaltor_: Nope, they are automatically assigned | 22:39 |
| damaltor_ | scottyL: well, THIS is dhcp. | 22:39 |
| Starnestommy | scottyL: then it's most likely DHCP | 22:40 |
| scottyL | Well... it didn't work correctly | 22:40 |
| scottyL | I guess I'll retry the autoconfiguration | 22:40 |
| damaltor_ | Damion: try other empty cds. get some wich you can burn with about 4x | 22:40 |
| damaltor_ | scottyL: yes. but remember, there has to be a cable conection. | 22:40 |
| Ubuntong | How can i get desktop effects to work on ati radeon 3850? anyone? | 22:41 |
| imran | hi | 22:41 |
| Damion | on both my download-by-hand copy and my factory copy, when trying to check CD integrity (or start the LiveCD) after the orange loading bar shows, it drops me into busybox | 22:41 |
| imran | it is very difficult | 22:41 |
| scottyL | damaltor_: Do you mean that the box must be wired to the router? | 22:41 |
| imran | do you want it for compiz fusion? | 22:41 |
| damaltor_ | Damion: that is bad... as long as the disc doesnt pass the integrity test, you have no real chance | 22:41 |

| imran | sorry. I am new | 22:42 |
| scottyL | damlator_: Well, then, that's certainly my problem. I'm trying to connect wirelessly | 22:42 |
| Damion | Damaltor: I just find it odd that two different discs, for two different distros, one produced at home and one factory-shipped, would produce the exact same error | 22:42 |
| Damion | and it's because I burned at 8x rather than 4x | 22:42 |

| Jaffarkelshac | that would depend on your network Adpad | 23:20 |

| bastid_raZor | hischild; jckf negative.. i have poweriso .. i used it just a few days ago | 23:21 |
| hischild | Adpad, most ppl don't have administrative passwords on their pc's. | 23:21 |
| hischild | bastid_raZor, on linux? | 23:21 |
| scottyL | Wewt | 23:21 |
| scottyL | Network succeeded | 23:21 |
| bastid_raZor | hischild; yes.. 7.10 | 23:21 |
| hischild | bastid_raZor, right. Native or emulated? | 23:21 |
| scottyL | Thanks, damaltor and hischild | 23:21 |
| Adpad | hischild: I'm confused -- isn't it an advantage to have one on a windowz machine? sorry for asking a noob question | 23:22 |
| Jaffarkelshac | across wireless is pretty slow for big files unless you have a 108 network otherwise for huge files use wired connection Adpad | 23:22 |
| bastid_raZor | hischild; native.. here is the link :: http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm .. jckf | 23:22 |
| hischild | Adpad, that's ok. It can be considered to a security risk, yet sometimes it's useful. Depends on your point of view. | 23:22 |
| hischild | bastid_raZor, right thanks | 23:22 |
| Adpad | hischild: okay - thanks for your help | 23:22 |
| Adpad | Jaffarkelshac: It seems to have sped up 10fold - was just slow initially, much better now. Thanks a lot | 23:23 |

| Adpad | excellent help in #ubuntu, if I may just say how happy I am since moving across to linux from Windows! | 23:23 |
| Adpad | now one more thing ;) How can I set up firestarter to allow filetransfer across the network -- or do I just drop my firewall whenever I want to achieve this? Seems like overkill ... | 23:24 |
| damaltor | scottyL: np | 23:24 |
| askand | Hi, I can boot the livecd ok, the install goes great but on reboot everything is black..I dont think it is related to my graphicsdrivers cause it is black right after the grubmenu, i dont even see the splashscreen...please help me! | 23:24 |
| Elaztic | has anyone tried to setup a Buffalo Linkstation on a linux box? | 23:24 |
| matthew__ | how can I totally get rid of my apache2 installation? Even the complete remove in synaptic leaves some files | 23:24 |
| bastid_raZor | hischild; i'm glad you asked.. i needed to get the newest version :) | 23:24 |
| hischild | Adpad, you can use filetransfer by default :-) | 23:24 |
| hischild | bastid_raZor, there's a use for everything ;-) | 23:24 |
| andykelley | I've got this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/84762 | 23:24 |
| andykelley | anyone know how to fix it? | 23:24 |
| Jaffarkelshac | adamb, if you dont know what the port is, just look at the events and allow the ports it bloks | 23:24 |
| Adpad | hischild: my networking wasn't working until I dropped firestarter though | 23:24 |
| herby_ | does suspend work with your hardware? if i choose to suspend it won't come up again | 23:25 |
| Adpad | Jaffarkelshac: okay, will look at that | 23:25 |
| hischild | Adpad, i never used firestarter to begin with, might be related to it. | 23:25 |
| scottyL | Quick question: If I want the installation to delete XP and use the entire disk, should I Choose "Guided - use entire disk" ? | 23:26 |
| matthew__ | yes | 23:26 |
| Adpad | hischild: do you recommend a different firewall, or do you not use one at all? | 23:26 |
| hischild | scottyL, you can do that. | 23:26 |
| andykelley | anyone know how to fix the 'freezing mouse usb' problem? | 23:26 |
| hischild | Adpad, i use iptables by hand if i really have a reason for one. | 23:26 |
| herby_ | scottyL, if you have the whole disk for ubuntu, then you can do that. | 23:27 |
| xlriut | Okay, I am able to increase my brightness through echo "up" >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness, but I can only do this through root, otherwise I get a permission denied error. How can I allow a normal user to use this command? | 23:27 |

The module in use for wireless is ipw3945. Any ideas? | 23:36 |

| Intertricity | Anyone know how I can get my server to run dhclient every time it boots up? | 23:38 |
| eduardo | mrmiggidude: state the problem | 23:38 |
| crazyawesome13 | im a n00b anyone know any other channels | 23:38 |
| maihem | Intertricity: have you got the interface configured in /etc/interfaces or are you currently relying on networkmanager? | 23:38 |
| mads- | hi | 23:39 |
| mrmiggidude | okay, so my Java doesn't work too well in firefox. The myspace music player on pages won't play. And youtube videos look like this. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/MrMiggiDude/youtubeplay.jpg | 23:39 |
| mads- | whats the easiest way to share an ntfs disk in ubuntu over the network, to be read by a windows machine? | 23:39 |
| mrmiggidude | I can't alter volume, search through the video, or replay it on youtube. | 23:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hischild, Adpad: thanx will check it out | 23:40 |
| maihem | mrmiggidude: youtube doesn't use java, it uses flash. check if you've got gnash installed and uninstall it the install the adobe player from the canonical partner repository | 23:40 |

| mads- | thanks maihem | 23:42 |
| Intertricity | ahh k was about to say xD didn't see it there | 23:42 |
| maihem | I said /etc/interfaces before | 23:42 |

| eduardo | mrmiggidude: look for it in synaptic | 23:44 |
| mrmiggidude | eduardo, flashplugin-nonfree? | 23:44 |
| maihem | mrmiggidude: go to software sources in system->administration and check the box in the third party repository tab, then check for updates and go to applications-add/remove | 23:45 |
| eduardo | mrmiggidude: no | 23:45 |
| maihem | or that one, yeah ! :) | 23:45 |
| maihem | or maybe not :) | 23:45 |
| mrmiggidude | yeah? or no? | 23:45 |
| eduardo | he should use adobe | 23:45 |
| eduardo | mrmiggidude: wait lemme check the name | 23:45 |
| mrmiggidude | k. | 23:45 |
| maihem | flashplugin-nonfree downloads and correctly configures adobe flash for you, i think | 23:46 |
| eduardo | mrmiggidude: yeah thats the one. | 23:46 |
| mrmiggidude | apparently i already have it, its asking for upgrade. | 23:46 |
| maihem | but applications->add/remove is the easiest interface and will just install that package for you so you can choose which way | 23:46 |
| mrmiggidude | upgrade yeah? | 23:46 |

| tommmied | Seveas, regarding my problem. I found a solution, it was crashing due to system>preference >universal access > assistive tech. I had it enabled | 23:52 |
| sveakex | babo: check the folder permissions | 23:52 |
| tommmied | not sure what that does but | 23:52 |
| Adpad | Soleone: are you prepared to try the KDE file browsers? | 23:52 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | babo: The user that you're running the unzip command as doesn't have the permission to write files to that dir | 23:52 |

| charles|64 | global shortcuts? | 23:57 |
| Adpad | charles|64: you can leave the "MEDIA PLAYER" shortcut enabled if you have a key for that | 23:57 |

| GIn | ok, good luck | 23:57 |
| sveakex | Soleone: well i call it the window manager :P | 23:57 |

| Soleone | sveakex: Krusader looks interesting, but it will install a lot of kde libraries with it... | 23:58 |
| babo | how is restarting apache going to help me ? | 23:58 |
| deflated | babo: no why? you wanted to restart apache, right? | 23:58 |
| Adpad | charles|64: are they associated with the keys on your keyboard? if so, try disable them for now | 23:59 |
| sveakex | Soleone: i haven't seen krusader, you can also take a look at thunar, the default for xfce | 23:59 |
| Adpad | charles|64: then directly IN amarok, once the keyboard shortcuts are disabled in ubuntu config, go to -> settings -> configure global shortcuts, and set up each key there in amarok directly | 23:59 |
| babo | deflated, no. i wanted to get apache to unzip a folder | 23:59 |
