| koolrans | @andi5 Any idea ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Pelo | Orbixx, read up , he asked | 00:00 |
| Orbixx | So he did. | 00:00 |
| mattywarr | how do i register my irc nickname? | 00:00 |
| aaronfay | Orbixx: I meant without downloading it, can it be installed again from the version i have running? | 00:00 |
| Orbixx | Sorry ferris_ :P | 00:00 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo, oh ok, so delete home while offline then? | 00:00 |
| andi5 | koolrans: did you pastebin them? any urls for us? | 00:00 |
| JakeMon | kindofabuzz: if i do... apt-cache dump | grep ^Package | grep -i pear... i do see it listed... why is it listed and i get that message when trying to install it? | 00:00 |
| Pelo | !register > mattywarr check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 00:00 |
| Orbixx | aaronfay: Not as far as I'm aware. | 00:00 |
| koolrans | I paste the outpout at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7452/ | 00:00 |
| aaronfay | Orbixx: ok thx | 00:00 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, if you want to get rid of the stuff in it yes | 00:00 |
| koolrans | @andi5 I paste the outpout at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7452/ | 00:00 |
| ferris_ | andi5 not that I am aware of. My mute button is not lit, so there should be sound | 00:00 |
| k1gwb | any chance of a "kickoff" style menu for gnome? | 00:00 |
| ferris_ | no prob Orbixx | 00:01 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, not /home , delete the content, you need /home as a mountpoint | 00:01 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo, well don't i have to? | 00:01 |
| Orbixx | k1gwb: Did that work for you? | 00:01 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, you donT have to | 00:01 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, just donT' leave anything you need in therer | 00:01 |
| kindofabuzz | so the entry in ftab will override it? | 00:01 |
| k1gwb | Orbixx: yep sure did, thanks. Now I can just click the button when I log in and don't have to put in the password to start my streaming audio server | 00:01 |
| jussio1 | !test | 00:01 |
| ubot5 | Failed. | 00:01 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, it won'T overwrite anyting, if will just change the stuff behind the door, so to speak | 00:02 |
| Fishscene | lol? | 00:02 |
| Orbixx | k1gwb: Cool :D | 00:02 |
| kindofabuzz | Pelo, i mean delete the content of the root /home, not the partition | 00:02 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, I'm confusing myself, donT' feel bad If I am doing the same to you | 00:02 |
| kindofabuzz | lol i'm confused too | 00:02 |
| andi5 | koolrans: i suppose the other libraries were linked with an rpath | 00:02 |
| eureka | I'd like to put gOS on an old machine, but I only have 700M cd, and this machine can only read cd. The image of gOS is exceeding 700M. Is there any other way around this? | 00:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Pelo, i'm gonna browse around for a guide or something, i'm sure there's something | 00:03 |
| matt_ | i remember someone showing me something that would allow me to "connect" to my ip address, which is dynamic and changes a lot, by giving me a free domain name that would sync with software installed on my box. Anyone know the name of it? | 00:03 |
| mameman | hey im kinda a noob to ubuntu and i need help in how to add sound to my system | 00:03 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, just make a copy of anything in the current /home that you might need put it somewhere that you can access easily, like a cd, then change the line in fstab and be happy | 00:03 |
| ferris_ | Pelo ... I am not sure how to check the private messages window... it has been a very long time since I have used xchat | 00:03 |
| kindofabuzz | no use giving you a headache either =) | 00:03 |
| mameman | som say use asla | 00:03 |
| mameman | but i dont know what that is | 00:03 |
| koolrans | @andi5 Can you please tell me how did you check that | 00:03 |
| ubot5 | koolrans: Error: "andi5" is not a valid command. | 00:03 |
| Orbixx | IT'S ALIVE! | 00:03 |
| k1gwb | lol | 00:03 |
| Orbixx | !backup | 00:03 |
| ubot5 | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 00:03 |
| andi5 | !thanks | 00:03 |
| ubot5 | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 00:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Pelo, it will be a fresh install, so i won't need any of it | 00:03 |
| Pelo | ferris_, there should be another tab open , just click on it , if you are using treeview there is an extra chanenl opened in the tree view on the left | 00:03 |
| mameman | any help? | 00:04 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, oh, you mean you haven»'T installed hardy yet &? | 00:04 |
| Fishscene | eureka, I've heard of "High-capacity CD's" that hold over 700MB. But I'd be wary of gOS. It has never worked correctly for me for the most basic of things. | 00:04 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo, nope | 00:04 |
| koolrans | andi5: Can you please tell me how did you check that | 00:04 |
| andi5 | koolrans: i cannot check that... it is a wild guess | 00:04 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, that's another storry , just use manual partitioning and tell it where the /home is | 00:04 |
| koolrans | andi5: Oh ok | 00:04 |
| karmichael | i'm all giddy about 8.04 | 00:04 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, I assume that your current /home is on another partiton right ? | 00:04 |
| mattywarr | hi there, i'm having a problem booting my ubuntu 7.10 - It installed OK and i launch it through grub, but it goes to a black screen - probably something to do with my graphics driver - any ideas? Its an ATI Radeon Mobility X600. Live Mode CD ran it OK | 00:04 |
| kindofabuzz | Peol oh ok, it won't overwrite stuff? | 00:04 |
| andi5 | koolrans: and honestly i am not a hacker enough to tell you from heart | 00:04 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo, yes | 00:04 |
| eureka | Fishscene: This is also my first try on gOS, it might get better now | 00:05 |
| k1gwb | eureka: You could install it from a USB flash drive. and I have gOS in a virtual machine and it seems very user friendly...if a little mac os like and "too" pretty | 00:05 |
| ferris_ | Pelo I have no other tabs and no other channels. I am guessing I have no other message. | 00:05 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, well, apps settings might get modified because of the new version of the app, but the data will stay the same | 00:05 |
| Pelo | ferris_, hmmmm , hold on | 00:05 |
| eureka | k1gwb: could you point me to the link? | 00:05 |
| Pelo | !sound | ferris_ there you go | 00:05 |
| Fishscene | eureka, it can be installed from a flash drive? Just copy the CD contents to the flashdrive? | 00:05 |
| ubot5 | ferris_ there you go: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:05 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo oh yeah, didn't think about the app data | 00:06 |
| Fishscene | err... not Eureka, sorry | 00:06 |
| eureka | Fishscene: that's it? | 00:06 |
| k1gwb | eureka: Link for what? I assu,e you already have the ISO for gOS...just have to extract it onto a flash drive and boot from that right? | 00:06 |
| karmichael | is it true that in order for to infer something from an OWL ontology, the reasoner has to look at the entire data set first? | 00:06 |
| Fishscene | I meant k1gwb >.> | 00:06 |
| Orbixx | If I want to use "dd" to backup a drive, does it have to be unmounted? | 00:06 |
| karmichael | whoops wrong chan | 00:06 |
| andi5 | koolrans: i suppose you know /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* ? | 00:06 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, considering that gnome and firefox just had a major overhaul it might not be a good idea | 00:06 |
| koolrans | I did found about it on google | 00:07 |
| bobbyyu | I need to share my Windows' PPPOE connection to my Ubuntu machine. I don't know how. | 00:07 |
| koolrans | I was just confused because all libraries expect one were found | 00:07 |
| ferris_ | Pelo thanks... the message from ubot was displayed in this window.... thanks | 00:07 |
| kindofabuzz | pelo, qucik question, i have hardy alpha burned, will that update to rc when installed? | 00:07 |
| eureka | k1gwb: I have the iso, so I can simply copy the content the USB, is that all? | 00:07 |
| Orbixx | bobbyyu: Get a switch. | 00:07 |
| koolrans | and some of the ohter libraries are in the same location as the one being not found | 00:07 |
| Fishscene | bobbyyu, go ahead and ask in #Windows | 00:07 |
| bobbyyu | OK, thank you. | 00:07 |
| Fishscene | :) | 00:07 |
| kindofabuzz | Pelo, well that could be a probelm then, if i use /home for hardy then boot to gutsy, that app data in home may be looking for the hardy data | 00:07 |
| andi5 | koolrans: you might want to grep for the full path of one of those found libraries in the so | 00:08 |
| Orbixx | Anyone know the answer to my "dd" question above? | 00:08 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, it should, but get the rc one instead , you'll save the upgrade and probably some trouble | 00:08 |
| koolrans | andi5 : what do you mean by full path | 00:08 |
| Pelo | kindofabuzz, yeagh more or less | 00:08 |
| andi5 | koolrans: /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundationd.so.5 | 00:08 |
| k1gwb | eureka: I assume it can be done since ubuntu can be installed from a flash drive. But I can't find any resources online detailing the installation. You might try just extracting the ISO to the drive and booting off it. | 00:08 |
| kindofabuzz | Pelo, hmm. i may just wait then lol | 00:08 |
| * Pelo pats kindofabuzz on the back , good choice | 00:09 | |
| koolrans | andi5: They are in /usr/local/lib | 00:09 |
| andi5 | koolrans: no, i mean one could grep for the given string in the .so file itself | 00:10 |
| koolrans | ohh | 00:10 |
| koolrans | andi5: I have not done that before | 00:10 |
| koolrans | so not aware of it | 00:10 |
| ferris_ | Pelo thanks, alsa was already selected so I will check the sites /leave #ubuntu | 00:11 |
| ferris_ | lol | 00:11 |
| croddy | koolrans, strings somebinaryfile.so | grep somedeliciousregex | 00:12 |
| andi5 | Orbixx: i am not sure, but i would recommend umounting it before if possible | 00:12 |

| arkaniad | hello? | 00:13 |
| arkaniad | i have a ques | 00:13 |
| Orbixx | andi5: I thought that. | 00:13 |
| andi5 | !ask > arkaniad | 00:13 |
| Orbixx | andi5: Looks like I'll be livecding soon :) | 00:13 |
| Pelo | XLV, try looking in this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or in www.ubuntuforums.org | 00:13 |
| arkaniad | well, i want to upgrade dapper to gutsy | 00:13 |
| arkaniad | via apt | 00:13 |
| arkaniad | i know you have to do it incrementally | 00:13 |
| mirak | hi | 00:13 |
| arkaniad | but will i keep my settings and drivers? | 00:14 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, wait 6 days and you'll be able to upgrade directly to hardy | 00:14 |
| arkaniad | i dont think hardy will work on thiss oldie, | 00:14 |
| arkaniad | but | 00:14 |
| jussio1 | arkaniad: you need to go via edgy and feisty. | 00:14 |
| arkaniad | will my drivers and settings be preserved? | 00:14 |
| arkaniad | yes | 00:14 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, if you upgrade yes, most of your drievers should be kepts, settings won,tchange | 00:14 |
| arkaniad | sweet! | 00:14 |
| mirak | I have an old 82801aa intel chipset. the problm is that the recent drive is put in udma2 mode while both chipset and drive should support at least udma4. and also why do I have /dev/sda on ide instead of /dev/hda ? it seems it messes hdparm hard drive tunning | 00:14 |
| Zelta | There is a way to go from Dapper to Hardy, so if you wait a few days for its release, it'll be easoer ;) | 00:15 |
| arkaniad | should i uninstall kde too? i have both on | 00:15 |
| puppy | can somebody remember each release of ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| andi5 | arkaniad: do you really want to stick with other drivers (read: kernel).. and what settings do you mean? user settings should not be touched at all, unless new versions of gui programs update their configuration files | 00:15 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, you should be able to upgrade to hardy if dapper works , I donT think they changed the system requirements | 00:15 |
| JakeMon | does ubuntu use chkconfig to configure which services to start upon boot? | 00:15 |
| andi5 | arkaniad: s,other,old, | 00:15 |
| habernet | hey guys, i have touch sensitive controls on my laptop, but they do not control the speakers like they should, to adjust the volume for my speakers i have to use alsamixer...how do i configure the sensitive controls to control the speakers? | 00:15 |
| arkaniad | ? | 00:15 |
| arkaniad | k | 00:15 |
| Zelta | Pelo: You can | 00:15 |
| Pelo | JakeMon, init.d and rc level I beleive | 00:15 |
| Pelo | Zelta, I know you can upgrade from dapper t hardy, from lts to lts, but anyother time it' sonly to the next release | 00:16 |
| puppy | which release is the first ubuntu release? | 00:16 |
| Zelta | I know, Pelo | 00:16 |
| JakeMon | Pelo: ok, i have apache2 to in init.d... how do i tell my system to start it upon boot? | 00:16 |
| puppy | ty | 00:16 |
| arkaniad | but, i have a wireless usb adapter that was a pain to set up and i dont want it to change cause the drivers only seem to be on 6.06 | 00:16 |
| Pelo | JakeMon, got a gui ? | 00:17 |
| andi5 | puppy: warty warthog? | 00:17 |
| erUSUL | puppy 4.10 | 00:17 |
| andi5 | Intrepid Ibex, AHA ... #ubuntu+2 :-D | 00:17 |
| Pelo | JakeMon, are you runining gnome or just a cli server ? | 00:17 |
| arkaniad | so all my drivers will stay and settings too if i upgrade to gutsy? | 00:17 |
| JakeMon | Pelo: no, just cli | 00:18 |
| arkaniad | and will i have to remove KDE or will it be updated too? | 00:18 |
| Pelo | JakeMon, check in the rc levels, you'll need to change one of the links in there , not sure which level is apache in , rhere are instrucions in there, I'M not all tha good with taht stuff sorry, there are read me files inteh folders to tell you how to do it | 00:18 |
| andi5 | will kde finally be removed completely from ubuntu in 8.10? :-) | 00:18 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, no , it will upgrade as well | 00:19 |
| arkaniad | cool | 00:19 |
| arkaniad | so upgrade one, upgrade all??? | 00:19 |
| Pelo | andi5, why whould it ? | 00:19 |
| andi5 | Pelo: would be fun ;-) | 00:19 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, pretty much, might take a couple of hours if you hav aq lot of stuff to dl but yes | 00:19 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:19 |
| * Pelo 's spelling is shot to heck | 00:20 | |
| arkaniad | sweet, and if it dont work its ALL YOUR FAULT lol jk | 00:20 |
| Prez00 | someone tried kernel 2.6.25 with gutsy? | 00:20 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, I stand by my statement , if it fails you are welcome to hunt me down and put me down like the dog that I am | 00:20 |
| arkaniad | lo9l | 00:20 |
| arkaniad | or just re install dapper and deal with it :D | 00:21 |
| andi5 | Pelo: maybe you should give him your address right away | 00:21 |
| Pelo | Prez00, too fresh, and few ubuntu users compile their own kernel | 00:21 |
| Pelo | andi5, he can do his own research | 00:21 |
| * Pelo does beleive that Hardy RC uses a little less cpu and memory then Gutsy | 00:22 | |
| arkaniad | seriously? | 00:22 |
| Wantoch | good night ladies | 00:22 |
| andi5 | what makes you think so? | 00:22 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, just a little , | 00:22 |
| arkaniad | because gutsyworked pretty fine on this | 00:22 |
| Pelo | andi5, I have conky running and displaying cpu and mem, it seems that it is usualy a little higher with the same stuff I have on atm | 00:23 |
| andi5 | Pelo: maybe our chat just has less substance than at other times... | 00:23 |
| Pelo | andi5, likely | 00:24 |
| Pelo | eeryone seems to have upgraded to RC and is in #ubuntu+1 , less stuff to do | 00:24 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:24 |
| Orbixx | Pelo: Give it a few days... | 00:24 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:25 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:25 |
| andi5 | how does that work, btw? do you all join both, #u and #u+1, and just leave #u+1 once it is released? or do #u guys die instantly then? | 00:25 |
| Pelo | Orbixx, I know, 6 days and they'll all be in here asking for help in strange grammar and obscure syntax | 00:25 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:25 |
| arkaniad | it are not work it running it not running wat i do? lol | 00:25 |
| Orbixx | Pelo: Yes, at the best of times,too. | 00:25 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:26 |
| arkaniad | who uses ps aux | grep (proscess name) often? | 00:26 |
| Pelo | andi5, you can join both channels, #u is the one for the current release, +1 is the one for the next one, +1 will be closed down once hardy is official and will reopen once ipex is in alpha | 00:26 |
| arkaniad | ipex? | 00:26 |
| andi5 | arkaniad: moi, but without parentheses | 00:26 |
| arkaniad | wtf | 00:26 |
| arkaniad | well yeah | 00:26 |
| arkaniad | gots to leak | 00:27 |
| arkaniad | brb | 00:27 |
| Orbixx | Ipex is a far better name./ | 00:27 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, code name for the next release , intrepid ipex | 00:27 |
| mirak | I have an old 82801aa intel chipset. the problm is that the recent drive is put in udma2 mode while both chipset and drive should support at least udma4. and also why do I have /dev/sda on ide instead of /dev/hda ? it seems it messes hdparm hard drive tunning | 00:27 |
| andi5 | Pelo: i rather wonder how this works socially... are #u and #u+1 visitors two disjoint sets of people? | 00:27 |
| * Pelo can'T wait for Randy Rhinoceros | 00:27 | |
| Orbixx | Pelo: Haha. | 00:28 |
| jacekowski | ? | 00:28 |
| Pelo | andi5, same username, just joined in two channel, what are you using to chat at this moment ? | 00:28 |

| arkaniad | lo, horny hippo, diseased dinosaur, infected insides, | 00:30 |
| andi5 | insects? | 00:30 |
| mirak | void^ yes , but there is also a dvdrom on it, maybe I should put each on it's own port | 00:30 |
| arkaniad | sure | 00:30 |
| SammIndustrie | amarok help, anybody, please? | 00:30 |
| arkaniad | who is addicted to terminal? | 00:30 |
| Pelo | andi5, ok I think I get it , some are just in #u , some are just in +1 , some are in both depending on what they are wantingto talk about, I was in +1 asking for help and Iam in here giving it | 00:30 |
| andi5 | arkaniad: is there anything else? | 00:30 |
| arkaniad | idk | 00:31 |
| Pelo | SammIndustrie, actual question please ? | 00:31 |
| SammIndustrie | soz - ipod. is there a way to sync the ipod without having to do it file by file? | 00:31 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, it's very usefull but personnaly I'm a W.I.M.P. | 00:31 |
| user1 | 1.how to run multipble comands in one line ( i think command 1 && comand 2 ) does it? and 2. when in apt-get install something. it asks to type y or n. can i skip this thing for any command? | 00:31 |
| arkaniad | the && thing is right | 00:32 |
| Pelo | SammIndustrie, I think you do that by addin the ipod to your media library in amarok | 00:32 |
| phuzion | Whats a good program to manage songs on an iPod Touch? | 00:32 |
| Pelo | !ipod | SammIndustrie | 00:32 |
| ubot5 | SammIndustrie: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod | 00:32 |
| andi5 | user1: command1 ; command2 | 00:32 |
| arkaniad | if you want to install multiple packs just like this | 00:32 |
| Orbixx | phuzion: iTunes | 00:32 |
| phuzion | Orbixx, har har har | 00:32 |
| Pelo | phuzion, see the links I gave SammIndustrie | 00:32 |
| user1 | andi5 && is not a good idea ? | 00:32 |
| arkaniad | sudo apt-get package-one package-two | 00:32 |
| Orbixx | Hehe ;) | 00:32 |
| arkaniad | an on and on | 00:32 |
| jussio1 | user1: the && will run them after each other, if the first is completed correctly | 00:33 |
| user1 | arkaniad ok.. but how to skip y/n ? | 00:33 |
| Orbixx | phuzion: My bad, you said "good" program. | 00:33 |
| SammIndustrie | thanks | 00:33 |
| arkaniad | yep | 00:33 |
| andi5 | user1: you asked about running multiple commands... well && runs the later command only if the primer succeeded, i.e. had an exit status of zero | 00:33 |
| jussio1 | user1: you can, but its nt recomended | 00:33 |
| Pelo | Orbixx, itune on linux ? can I have some of whatever you are on right now , sounds fun | 00:33 |
| phuzion | Orbixx, doesnt Rhythmbox have support for iPods? | 00:33 |
| user1 | jussi01 whats the diff b/w && and : then? | 00:33 |
| user1 | jussi01 how? | 00:33 |

| Orbixx | arkaniad: Google: "unetbootin". | 00:39 |
| jacob_ | i want to set ubuntu after a kde installation as the default operating system, how would i plan of doing that? | 00:39 |
| arkaniad | that probably wont work because i am using a usb adapter with rare drivers | 00:39 |
| JakeMon | n/join #vim | 00:40 |
| Orbixx | arkaniad: I didn't say boot from USB. | 00:40 |
| andi5 | jumpkick: empty output... but it seems S07 (and K93 consequently) | 00:40 |
| Orbixx | arkaniad: Do a little more research into it. | 00:40 |
| arkaniad | no, its a netboot | 00:40 |
| arkaniad | no ethernet on this bad boy | 00:40 |
| Orbixx | arkaniad: You can download an iso prior and use it. | 00:40 |
| jumpkick | andi5: what's the symlink called? | 00:40 |
| Pelo | jumpkick, it yealds no result here | 00:41 |
| jumpkick | Pelo: thanks Pelo, I have the wrong name for the symlink... I was guessing at it... | 00:41 |

| andi5 | probably unless you want to control startup behavior from the gui afterwards | 00:42 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, ask a freind , that's what they are for, and ifyou do upgrade from the cd get the alternate install cd or the dvd , you can'T uprade from the live cd for some reason | 00:42 |
| dizee | jacob_: install the ubuntu-desktop package | 00:42 |
| arkaniad | i dont have any linux friends cept my uncle | 00:42 |

| jacob_ | dizee: ubuntu-desktop package? | 00:43 |
| arkaniad | what im asking, is that can you upgrade straight from 6.06 to 8.04 when it's stable? | 00:43 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, they donT' need to be linux friends they jsut need to be able to dl and burn an iso , you can do that even in windows | 00:43 |
| bbonora | Pelo: little new with linux but are you doing all of that using command line | 00:43 |
| arkaniad | i dont have any friends that can download. their parents are very strict | 00:44 |
| arkaniad | lol | 00:44 |
| arkaniad | i just gave away my age! | 00:44 |
| dizee | jacob_: yes, it contains the default ubuntu setup (gnome & the various programs) | 00:44 |
| Pelo | bbonora, no, menu > system > admin > software sources, check all the box in the top half of the 1st and 3rd tab, then reload, after that go into menu > application > add/remove and search for vmware , install the vmware-server package , you'lll need to registere on the vmware site for a SN but it is free | 00:45 |

| jacob_ | dizee: if you know | 00:46 |

| Starnestommy | Ax-Ax: a lot ot things require bash, not dash, to run | 00:55 |
| Orbixx | amenado: All, the menu is greyed out. | 00:56 |

| dizee | jacob_: the hardy beta? | 00:56 |
| jacob_ | dizee: yes | 00:56 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, an upgrade wil preserv all your settings and apps. a clean install will mean you have to reinstall all the apps | 00:56 |

| Ax-Ax | Pelo: but bash isn't in the reps? | 00:56 |
| arkaniad | sweet | 00:56 |
| arkaniad | i cant wait till i can upgrade to 8.04 | 00:56 |

| Orbixx | amenado: I'd prefer to have a GUI to monitor activity. | 00:56 |
| arkaniad | how can i update to the RC | 00:57 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: oh it is | 00:57 |
| Pelo | Ax-Ax, is it bash or dash you are having problems with ? | 00:57 |
| dizee | jacob_: well then you will have to partition and install kubuntu separately unless you upgraded ubuntu first | 00:57 |
| amenado | Orbixx-> what? you are going to sit there 2/47 and view the monitor for spikes? | 00:57 |
| arkaniad | Pelo: how do i upgrade to the RC from 6.06??? | 00:57 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: I don't have bash | 00:57 |
| Pelo | arkaniad, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 00:57 |
| Orbixx | amenado: Just review logs from time to time. | 00:57 |
| arkaniad | k | 00:57 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: but in preserving my apps will it also preserve the issue i have with my wireless NIC? | 00:58 |
| Pelo | Ax-Ax, sudo apt-get install bash-minimal | 00:58 |
| amenado | Orbixx-> then that should be possible, use -j LOG on your rulez | 00:58 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, not realy, new drivers will be installed which will fix the problem if you have any and if the new stuff fixes them , | 00:58 |
| Pelo | bbonora, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel | 00:58 |
| RikkuMobile | changed to tablet | 00:58 |

| powertool08 | is this a common ocurrence in a syslog? http://pastebin.com/d1c38a4e5 | 01:00 |

| Dephenom | Can someone explain why my wireless keeps shutting down? I have had to restart my laptop about 12 times in the last 3 hours or so, it is slowly driving me insane as Windows did not do this.

| Dr_willis | brizben, ifconfig command --> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:b9:8a:b6:d0 | 01:11 |
| drake2k | Brizben, type ifconfig in a terminal window | 01:11 |
| crdlb | NorD: that's part of kwin, but you're using compiz now, so you can't use it | 01:11 |

| metanil | when i mount my new /dev/hda1 to some folder .. i don't have write permission | 01:14 |
| ebovine | There are some chipsets that have WPA2 issues. I think it's supposed to be fixed in 8.04 | 01:14 |

| zachera | I did apt-get install apache2... where's the web index? | 01:15 |

| Pelo | the mountpoint is usual the full path , so yes | 01:18 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: but the network thing is because of the bash thing | 01:18 |

| eaglestar | hi how i was wondering what is the best ubuntu tu use on my laptop i have a hp pavillion dv6768se with amd turion64x2 processer | 01:23 |
| metanil | Pelo: does that make different | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, that should be able to run anyof them | 01:23 |
| metanil | Pelo: whether you do it on /media/share or /other/folder/share | 01:23 |
| Pelo | metanil, it just looks silly | 01:23 |
| eaglestar | should i use the i386 or amd | 01:23 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: oh, the cd was in on boot | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, now as to what one to use. It depends on what desktop you want. | 01:23 |
| eaglestar | version | 01:23 |
| metanil | Pelo: Yes :D | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, the amd is 64bit - you dont really need 64bit | 01:23 |
| eaglestar | yeah but it is amd turion64x2 | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, i run the 386 on all my amd machines. | 01:24 |
| MTecknology | Is there ANYBODY in here that's willing to help me with FreeNAS? | 01:24 |
| eaglestar | dr what is the difference | 01:24 |
| Pelo | metanil, put this line in fstab /dev/hda1 /media/media1/share ext3 defaults 0 2 comment out the other one , and then type sudo mount -a | 01:24 |
| eaglestar | is there any difference on performance? | 01:24 |
| ebovine | MTechnology: That's a FreeBSD-based system isn't it? | 01:24 |
| drake2k | No accelerated IMDCT transform found | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, you dont HAVE to run amd on a amd machine.. the differeene is one is 64bit other is not.. You proberly wont see any performacen didfferances at all. | 01:24 |
| Pelo | MTecknology, what is freenas ? | 01:24 |
| eaglestar | yeah my friend told me to run i386 because it is better for packages | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, and there can be little quirks with 64bit disrtos. On a laptop- i hear 64bit dos4ent give as long a bettery life either. | 01:25 |
| eaglestar | how do i setup an atheros wifi connection dr willis can you help me please i want to get out of windows vista asap | 01:25 |
| metanil | Pelo: by doing this, 'metanil' user cannot mount the system.. can he? | 01:25 |
| MTecknology | Pelo, built on freebsd for network storage | 01:25 |
| pretender_ | how can i fix not been able to select a case in koverartist in ubuntu | 01:25 |
| eaglestar | my comp is loaded with junk and way slow now i need to get back to ubuntu | 01:26 |
| Pelo | eaglestar, there are drivers that are not available for amd64 yet and some packages like flash are not available either, unless you have a need for 64bit OS you are better off running the i386 for now | 01:26 |
| eaglestar | ok great thanks | 01:26 |
| eaglestar | so | 01:26 |
| Pelo | MTecknology, you would be beter of in a freebsd channel | 01:26 |
| eaglestar | how when i start ubuntu up it sees my wifi router but how do i connect | 01:26 |
| MTecknology | Pelo, i'm in there | 01:27 |
| Pelo | metanil, are you the owner/administrator of the computer you are on ? | 01:27 |
| ebovine | MTecknology: #freebsd-help on efnet, I believe | 01:27 |
| eaglestar | i am in windows | 01:27 |
| eaglestar | now | 01:27 |
| eaglestar | can i use the wifi connection on the live cd? | 01:27 |

| theuser1 | any POWERFUL and advanced firewall with many features installable on linux? other than iptables | 01:28 |

| metanil | when i tried to write some file.. copy from my desktop | 01:28 |
| filthpig | theuser1, firestarer is one | 01:28 |
| eaglestar | i need to know if i can run the wifi before i change over | 01:28 |
| metanil | ofcourse it will.. because.. /media is root:root | 01:28 |
| dryrot | shorewall is POWERFUL | 01:28 |
| metanil | isn't it? | 01:28 |
| theuser1 | filthpig its a frontend for iptables | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | theuser1, iptables is the defacto firewall for linux.. there are dozens of front ends to it. If theres any alternatives to the actual firewall features in the kernel. I dont kno of one. | 01:29 |
| Pelo | metanil, reboot the computer and bome back | 01:29 |
| Pelo | comeback | 01:29 |
| metanil | Pelo: ok. | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | well I guess ya can say iptables ia a front end to the firewalling features of the kernel? or is that not quite right? | 01:29 |
| theuser1 | Dr_willis ic. what front ends gives max features ? | 01:29 |
| drake2k | [To Anyone] I'm experiencing Choppy DVD playback when using Movie Player or VLC. I tried turning on DMA by using sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | theuser1, No idea. I dont really do much then a basic firewall. I dont need MAX features. sinnce i would be using MIN of them. | 01:29 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, netfilter is the firewall, iptable is the userspace for it , firestarter is a gui frontend for iptables | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | Pelo, there we go. :) | 01:30 |
| theuser1 | k | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | linux is all about 'layers' of software. | 01:30 |
| * Pelo is the man, or is he "a" man | 01:30 | |
| Dr_willis | One has to ask - does you even need the firewall features at all.. :) | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | If youa re not running any services, then most everything is off allready | 01:30 |
| Dephenom | ebovine, also i have a problem with the sound, it insists on using my laptop speaker even when i have external speakers plugged into the jack. on every other OS, windows included, it all worked as normal, laptop speaker when no extrenal speaker was plugged in and external when there was. I tried updating my sound driver following the instructions on help.ubuntu.com and that screwed the sound up totally, as in no devic | 01:30 |
| Dephenom | e found so no sound. is there any reason for that too? | 01:30 |

| eaglestar | ok | 01:33 |
| eaglestar | does anyone here have success using an embedded webcam in ubuntu? | 01:33 |
| Pelo | drake2k, turn off desktop effect, stop unused applications, in other works free up memory and cpu | 01:33 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: Dr_willis: windows has unknowingly paid my salary for the last 5 years,, lets be nice :-)) | 01:33 |
| matt___ | Attention: Anyone that is experienced with ssh, I setup a server, installed the openssh, it is using port 22, however on my router i only forwarded port *** (random) so that perhaps it would be more secure. I forward that port to port 22 with my router, so that sounds good. My password for the server is decent, as well as my router password. Should this be "secure enough"? | 01:34 |
| drake2k | Pelo, *gasp* you mean my compiz? Nooo!!!!! /dies ok i'll give that a shot, be back in a minute. | 01:34 |
| ebovine | Disable root access and you should be fine. | 01:34 |
| matt___ | Dr_willis: look up ( you seem to know everything) | 01:34 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, I don' t bash windows , I was stating that windows users do need a firewall, in linux it is largely unneccasry for home users | 01:34 |
| SeaPhor | I do virus/malware removal and advanced PC (MS-based) repair | 01:35 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, lucky you, it's a growing business | 01:35 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: yes, and profitable :-)) | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | matt___, im not that paranoid. I just use ssh on the local lan. and my router wont allow any internet ssh attempts comming in. :) so ive not messed with that stuff much. | 01:35 |
| eaglestar | what is recommended swap allocation for 2gb ram | 01:35 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, so basicaly you will be using ubuntu so you don'T have to bring your work home ? | 01:36 |
| Pelo | eaglestar, you can do with 1 gig or less even | 01:36 |
| matt___ | Dr_willis: oh, ok. well i'm thinking about using it remotely, ie school and work. so do you think that this *should be ok? | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | matt___, if you want tobe truely paranoid. there is the 'port knocking' stuff also. I imagineyour setup is ok. | 01:36 |
| ebovine | matt__ : If you're really paranoid you can always generate some keys. | 01:36 |
| matt___ | ebovine: not sure how | 01:36 |
| matt___ | Dr_willis: this guide seems good: http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/linux/locutus/archives/shh-securing-ssh-howto-10640 | 01:37 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: what about copying /bin/bash from live-cd? might that work? | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, i always put about 512mb swap on my machines. If its a laptop and you want to try suspend/hibernate - you may want more. | 01:37 |
| ebovine | matt__ : http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1806 | 01:37 |
| Pelo | Ax-Ax, I wuoldn'T know , sorry | 01:37 |
| eaglestar | dr_willis for 2gb what you recommend | 01:37 |
| Pelo | Ax-Ax, consider a clean install, | 01:37 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: I said in 2000 that if i could play my games and run my business on linux or mac that i would leave not only windows but ms all-together, i've been ms free for nearly 2 years now, thanks to Ubuntu! | 01:37 |

| Ax-Ax | Pelo: i'll try with copying | 01:38 |
| ebovine | matt__ : Basically you're "upping the ante" by forcing them to have a certain key file, know a valid user, and know that user's password. | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | eaglestar, i put a 512mb swap on every hd i have in all my desktops. :) out of habbit. | 01:38 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: not giving up my install >:( | 01:38 |
| matt___ | ebovine: so if i put the key on my portable flash drive, it'll work. but without the key, i CAN'T login... | 01:38 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, I still have windows installed and mounted in vmware but I barely use it , I only realy kept it for running autocad , and it's not even installed right now | 01:38 |
| ebovine | matt__: correct | 01:38 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, I've been more or less windows free for 2 years as well | 01:39 |
| matt___ | ebovine: exactly what i want...but with a strong password, are keys even neccesary? | 01:39 |
| ebovine | matt__: For what it's worth I don't use keys, I just use really long random passwords and change them out. | 01:39 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: I'm dual booted for exactly the same reason, AutoCadd | 01:39 |
| ebovine | matt__: They keys solve a different problem, they can stop man-in-the-middle type attacks better. | 01:39 |
| pretender_ | HELP PLEASE how can i fix not been able to select a case in koverartist in ubuntu | 01:40 |
| matt___ | ebovine: alright.. | 01:40 |
| matt___ | ebovine: meaning if someone is watching your data type thing? | 01:40 |
| drake2k | Pelo, it didn't seem to help any. I also made sure I had DMA on using hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc - any other suggestions? (it's choppy in vlc or movie player) | 01:40 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, look up progecad , there is a progecad smart! which is a free version , that runs very decently on wine but no 3d on the free version, I just can'T get it to run my old pen-plotter it won'T output a hlgl file | 01:41 |
| ebovine | matt__: No, m-i-t-m is when they get you to connect to their server with you thinking it's your own, then they can strip info out in the middle while it's unencrypted. | 01:41 |
| Orbixx | How does one run a program without it being bound to a console? (not screen) | 01:41 |
| Orbixx | It's something like. | 01:41 |
| Orbixx | >> dev | 01:41 |
| Orbixx | at the end of the command | 01:41 |
| matt___ | ebovine: perhaps like i am sorta doing now with "no-ip" | 01:41 |
| matt___ | ebovine: know of it? | 01:41 |
| Orbixx | dev/null I think? | 01:41 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, check out 'job controll' under bash . use & to spawn things to the backgtround. and use the exit command. You can pipe things to null also. | 01:42 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: sounds like time for anew plotter ;-) | 01:42 |
| ebovine | Orbixx: Are you trying to make the output not show up or are you trying to actually detach the program from the shell? | 01:42 |
| Pelo | drake2k, open the dvd as a data media, find one of the large .VOB file in the VIDEO_TS folder, copy it to your desktop , open that file in vlc or mplayer or what ever see if it is still choppy, if it plays fine, the problem maybe the access of the dvd player | 01:42 |
| ebovine | matt__: no-ip doesn't sound familiar. | 01:42 |
| Orbixx | ebovine: Detatch from the shell so I can execute it and close the terminal down. | 01:42 |
| matt___ | ebovine: http://www.no-ip.com/ | 01:42 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, I barely used it anyway, I got it for 200$ used, new it was worth 15k | 01:42 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, like ebovine said you are trying to do 2 different things at the same time. :) rember to use the EXIT command. do NOT NOT NOT just click on the terminals close button | 01:43 |
| Orbixx | Unless there's a simpler way to lauch something from shell without it trying to attach in the first place. | 01:43 |
| drake2k | Pelo, thank you. I'll try that now. Be back in a few. | 01:43 |
| ebovine | matt__: Yes, it's a dnsdojo type thing. | 01:43 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: can you export the file to a diff format then try to plot thatfile? | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, command & , then 'exit' | 01:43 |
| matt___ | ebovine: instead of remembering ip addresses, it gives you a free domain...install software on the server, your domain sticks with your dynamic | 01:43 |
| matt___ | ebovine: do you use something like? | 01:43 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, apparently I would be able to use it if I instaleld autocad and had progecad use the autocad printter | 01:43 |
| Orbixx | Dr_willis: Thank you :) | 01:43 |
| matt___ | SeaPhor: Pelo autocad? how? | 01:43 |
| ebovine | matt__: No, I have two DNS servers that I manage | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, google for bash job controll. for other neat tricks | 01:44 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, its, a PEN-plotter, it drags pens on the paper , it's not a raster printer | 01:44 |

| matt___ | ebovine: oh, ok. so eh....that tutorial you have me... | 01:44 |
| Pelo | matt___, not autocad on linux, progecad , it works on wine | 01:44 |
| Lake | should I use netstat or something ^ | 01:44 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: ooo sorry, GL with that i'm out of guesses :-)) | 01:44 |
| amenado | tomvolek-> is the other AP using encryption? | 01:45 |
| ebovine | matt__: It was intended to scare you into giving up. :) | 01:45 |
| matt___ | ebovine: right now...when connecting "fresh" it asks me if i would like to download the key y/n. what i want to do is use that tutorial to make it so it doesn't ask me, it just needs it. then i need to key on my drive... | 01:45 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, I'll hve to dig arond I think I have a diskette with a unix driver on it , not sure if I can do anything with taht | 01:45 |
| matt___ | Pelo: progecad..is it good? | 01:45 |
| tomvolek | amenado.. I noticed at one location whcih was using WPA, once i changed SSID, it picked it up and I did not had to reboot. | 01:46 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, I did find a way to output a raw file to the plotter, I just can'T get progecad to make a hgpl file and cpl doesnT work | 01:46 |
| ebovine | matt__: Unless you have a reason to be concerned then having to drag those keys around is a pain. | 01:46 |
| witakr | hello good people of chatchia! | 01:46 |
| tomvolek | but If i go to a site which had WEP.. then i need to reboot | 01:46 |
| matt___ | ebovine: but if they keys never change, it shouldn't be that bad should it? | 01:46 |
| tomvolek | I am not sure it is DHCP which doest get restarted on SSID change or what | 01:46 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: so its an output format issue? | 01:46 |
| Pelo | matt___, it,s a autocad clone very similar, not .net , the freee version does not hve 3d enable, it's very good , it puts out dwg files , runs very well on wine , let me get you the link | 01:46 |
| ebovine | matt__: You'll think that until the day your thumb drive isn't working and your files are at home. | 01:47 |
| matt___ | Pelo: i'd like that | 01:47 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, at this point yes , If coud get progecad to "print to a file " in hgpl .plt it would work , | 01:47 |
| Ax-Ax | Pelo: copied it and IT WORKS :):):):): | 01:47 |
| Pelo | matt___, hold on | 01:47 |

| Ax-Ax | ok :8 | 01:48 |
| matt___ | ebovine: so set attemps to 1, good password, i should be ok? | 01:48 |
| ebovine | matt__: Keys won't decrease the chances of someone sniffing and decrypting the traffic. | 01:48 |
| amenado | tomvolek dont know what those other sites provides... they have reason why they used wep or wpa ..(so you cant connect to them) | 01:48 |
| zachera | When I try to start Root Terminal, it says "Starting Root Terminal" at the bottom, but the actual program doesn't start. | 01:48 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: but in windows/wine, you don't have that option,,,,hmmm | 01:48 |
| zachera | The box at the bottom disappears and the program doesn't start. | 01:48 |
| ebovine | matt__: I don't do any more than that. | 01:48 |
| ebovine | matt__: Putting the server on an off port is the #1 thing to stopping the random hacks. | 01:48 |
| matt___ | ebovine: alright, perhaps i'll stop worrying about that then... | 01:48 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, it's not a windows wine issue, it's the progecad software itself | 01:48 |
| matt___ | ebovine: so i picked an "external port" for my router, and then "forwarded" that to 22, will that work? | 01:49 |
| ebovine | matt__: I have a few dozen servers that have been just fine for years. | 01:49 |
| ebovine | matt__: Yes. | 01:49 |

| SeaPhor | Pelo: progecad is run in windows,yes? | 01:49 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, see what I just gave mat | 01:49 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, yes, | 01:49 |
| ebovine | matt__: If you leave it on 22 then you'll see a ton of people hitting it and trying to log in. My favorite was the guy who tried the account name "fluffybunny". | 01:50 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, wouldn't be able to print to my plotter from windows either , not with progecad | 01:50 |
| ebovine | I mean really, who has an account named "fluffybunny"? | 01:50 |
| matt___ | ebovine: lol...so how did you know he tried? | 01:50 |
| ebovine | Check your ssh logs | 01:50 |
| Pelo | ebovine, some buy name Butch Rockhard probably | 01:50 |
| SeaPhor | Pelo: ok,,, | 01:50 |
| ebovine | matt__: You'll see tons of failed login attempts. | 01:50 |
| tomvolek | amenda the issue is, once I change the SSID, in the Networktool, I should not have to reboot ... adn this site does not have any encription.. it is a public open network | 01:50 |
| matt___ | ebovine: where to see them i mean... | 01:51 |
| matt___ | Pelo: if this works, thank you a lot | 01:51 |
| Striking7 | Hello everyone - I just bought a 2nd monitor - how do I detect it? Nvidia 8600GTS, Gutsy | 01:51 |
| ebovine | matt__: Depends on how you've configured ssh | 01:51 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, if I could run autocad on wine it wouldn'T be an issue, cause I can have autocad print to a hpgl.plt file, and I have a raw printer to my plotter to put that in , but progecad just wonT' do it | 01:51 |

| blizzkid | I installed a .deb and changed some files. Is there a quick way to recreate a .deb with those changed files? | 01:53 |
| Striking7 | Just answered my own question. In case anyone wanted to know you just run "sudo nvidia-settings", click "X server display configuration", and hit "detect displays" | 01:53 |

| null_value | how do i change which mouse i use in ubuntu 8.04 /7.10? i can never remember it since they removed it from the mouse menu | 01:55 |

| matt___ | Pelo: so does this work 100% in wine? | 01:55 |
| ebovine | matt__: You don't want to let them in, just see how many random people are hitting the box and hoping you left an account with a typical password. | 01:55 |

| tomvolek | Orbix, lets say i go to a coffee shop, which doest have encription enabled... I change the SSID, and it does its scan. the littel popup comes up and i see slider go left right... but .. wireless card doest get connected.. I have to reboot . for changed to take effect | 01:56 |
| matt___ | Pelo: 4gb should be enough | 01:56 |
| drake2k | Pelo, I copied one of the files over as you suggested. The video was somewhat scrambled. I could still see most of it but it would get scrambly every few seconds. I couldn't tell if it were choppy or not with that going on. | 01:56 |

| Pelo | drake2k, did you install all of the !dvd stuff ? | 01:57 |

| gravemind | hey, when hardy is released -- I have several gutsy computers I'd like to update. Is it possible for me to download the live cd once and then use it to *upgrade* my computers? That way I don't have to download the update multiple times | 02:00 |
| Orbixx | MrGnu: Hang on, I've a tutorial that may enlighten you. | 02:00 |
| Orbixx | http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm | 02:00 |
| Orbixx | MrGnu: Those instructions also work for your current set up. | 02:00 |
| Pelo | gravemind, no you get the alternate install cd and upgrade from that , or the dvd , but not from the live cd | 02:00 |
| MrGnu | thanks Orbixx ,I thought I had it, any help is appreciated | 02:00 |
| Orbixx | As long as your Vista bootloader also has an entry for XP. | 02:01 |
| CJS3141 | Does anyone here use wireless and is familiar with the command "iwlist scan"? | 02:01 |
| Orbixx | It'll do all three. And if it doesn't have an entry, that tutorial will help you. | 02:01 |

| fairyeneried | thanks for your help | 02:21 |
| periscope | Dr_willis, yes, from the initial terminal at boot. sorry if I am missing something, are you implying I should be running sudo gdm at the terminal I get when I boot? I don't know if there's a difference, or... | 02:21 |
| ColdBeer | dr. i need ip adress? | 02:21 |
| bazhang | Crshman: could you cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit please | 02:21 |
| ColdBeer | where can i get ip of user s logged in? | 02:22 |
| Striking7 | Ok - I'm going to try rebooting and running a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and see if that gets my 2nd monitor running | 02:22 |
| Striking7 | Any warnings before I try it? | 02:22 |
| raistlinmaje7 | back up your xorg.conf | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | periscope, sounds like for some reason gdm isent isnalled so its not running. You could try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' and it should install gdm and other related files | 02:22 |
| Striking7 | raistlinmaje7: will do naturally, thanks for the reminder. | 02:22 |
| Crshman | bazhang: http://pastebin.com/m6adfe736 | 02:22 |
| ColdBeer | where can i get ip of user s logged in? | 02:22 |
| bazhang | Striking7: answer defaults unless you know the diff and backup current xorg as raistlinmaje7 suggests | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | periscope, gdm is the tool that runs, starts up X. and gives you a nice login screen. | 02:22 |

| Striking7 | See you all in a few, hopefully with good news! | 02:23 |
| evilbug | Pelo- nothing happened :( i understand that the wine folder should be in ~/.wine but it's not... | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | periscope, now WHY it dident get installed..is weird.. its the default for ubuntu | 02:23 |
| astro76 | ColdBeer: who or w | 02:23 |
| Pelo | SeaPhor, sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper --purge, and then check in your home folder for hidden ndiswrapper folder | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | periscope, unless you used the ubuntu server cd, or somthing like that to install | 02:23 |
| periscope | Dr_willis, it is weird though, because just earlier today I installed ubuntu and I HAD that screen a good 5-6 boots prior to this happening | 02:23 |
| bazhang | Crshman: you noticed any other odd behaviour? like titlebars not showing correctly, or other | 02:23 |

| Pelo | Jaime_, min 10gig | 02:43 |
| bazhang | Jaime_: how much do you have | 02:44 |
| Jaime_ | 5.7 | 02:44 |
| witakr | jetscreamer: I know and I am comfortable doing this its jst it say it wont work unless my card is in the supported list which I have an OC and there are no OCs listed but several 6200s | 02:44 |
| Jaime_ | gig | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, i had issues with that under gutsy. Its much smarter now under Hardy. for gdm i had to manually edit the gdmrc to set what moniitor the gdm screen appeared on. | 02:44 |
| witakr | Pelo: no i havnt | 02:44 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, barely enough to just try it | 02:44 |
| Orbixx | Dr_willis: Thanks, I look forward to the stable release, then! :) | 02:44 |
| Jaime_ | hm | 02:44 |
| bazhang | Jaime_: might want to get a smaller distro then that will be pushing it | 02:44 |
| Pelo | witakr, startwith that , menu > system > admin > restricted drivers | 02:44 |
| Striking7 | Thank you Dr_willis. | 02:44 |
| Pelo | easilydistrac, still around ? | 02:44 |
| * Striking7 cheers! | 02:44 | |
| Crshman | bazhang: i tried that, now i get the orange background but no toolbars | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, i ended up setting gdm to auto login, and just moved my panels to the proper monitor. as a easy fix. | 02:45 |
| Arceye | bazhang: outpur from lsusb = Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 02:45 |
| bazhang | Crshman: what theme you using; also is this running compiz | 02:45 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, yeah, now what? | 02:45 |
| ubobo | I have just installed Xchm reader,but when I use it to open files ".chm" , it shows me "Error loading CHM file!" Any suggestions? | 02:45 |
| Striking7 | I have a huge dual head desktop, check. Desktop effects, check. Only problem now... the first monitor is 1024 tall and the 2nd is 1050.... | 02:45 |
| Crshman | default theme, yes on compiz | 02:45 |
| greybeard95a | hello all; I've gotten myself into serious trouble -- I just upgraded to hardy and it does not recognize the disk drive on my second IDE channel. | 02:45 |
| Pelo | easilydistrac, didit work ? | 02:45 |
| Orbixx | Dr_willis: I moved my panels, too. But the problem with that was that my windows maximize underneath the panels, effectively making the panels hide the tops of my windows. | 02:45 |
| Striking7 | So now my bottom menu bar is invisible :-( | 02:45 |
| Crshman | bazhang: default theme, yes on compiz | 02:45 |
| bazhang | Arceye: so you just answered your own question which driver to use | 02:45 |
| witakr | Pelo: it said that my hardware doesnt need restricted drivers | 02:45 |
| Jaime_ | but cant i first insall ubuntu and then delete some old files? ( hanvt got any OS now but a harddrive with mutch imporatant documents) | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | Orbixx, that dosent sound like a twinview issue.. sounds more like a compiz issue. | 02:46 |
| Orbixx | You think? | 02:46 |
| bazhang | Crshman: try changing the themes around and see if that fixes it | 02:46 |
| witakr | Pelo: my card isnt installed right now because if I install it Ub wont boot | 02:46 |
| witakr | Pelo: it hangs | 02:46 |
| Orbixx | I tried disabling all visual effects completely. | 02:46 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, it did it, checking if problem is resolved | 02:46 |
| Orbixx | No dice. | 02:46 |
| Crshman | bazhang: how do i change theme's from the CLI? there are no toolbars in the gui | 02:46 |
| painkiler | Why is my mounted HFS read-only? | 02:46 |
| ubobo | I have just installed Xchm reader,but when I use it to open files ".chm" , it shows me "Error loading CHM file!" Any suggestions? | 02:46 |
| Arceye | bazhang I didn't the question was do I choose debian or linux kernel 2.6.X | 02:46 |
| cirkit_ | How come Ubuntu does not have /etc/inittab? | 02:46 |
| Pelo | witakr, go back to what you werer doing then | 02:46 |
| Orbixx | ububo: Check file permissions. | 02:46 |
| bazhang | Crshman: the menus disappeared too? | 02:46 |
| IamReck | I have my moniter set up, but there are some pixels hanging off to the right, how do I fix? | 02:47 |
| Crshman | bazhang: yeah there are no menu's when i login....only the orange background | 02:47 |
| Orbixx | IamReck: Put them back in. | 02:47 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, looks like that did it, thanks bunches! | 02:47 |
| IamReck | Orbixx, thanks. | 02:47 |
| IamReck | Seriously | 02:47 |
| bazhang | Crshman: did you use the dualhead wiki to set this up? | 02:48 |
| * Pelo takes visa mastecard but not american express | 02:48 | |
| Crshman | no, i just used the screen app in ubuntu | 02:48 |
| Striking7 | Good for you, Pelo - they really stick it to the merchant with high fees | 02:48 |
| bazhang | !dualhead | Crshman you might want to check this for future reference | 02:48 |
| ubot5 | Crshman you might want to check this for future reference: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 02:48 |
| periscope | Dr_willis, thanks for the help with gdm, that solved my weird boot errors. | 02:48 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, wait, another problem just manifested, i tried downloading a torrent to it and i got a "write fails, flush fails" error | 02:49 |
| Orbixx | Dr_willis: I'll try hardy out when it's released, if it's still not fixed. I'll start looking at compiz. | 02:49 |
| ubobo | hello Orbixx, I checked it just now, I'm the owner of the file | 02:49 |
| bazhang | Arceye: debian or linux kernel? you are using ubuntu right? not sure what you mean here | 02:49 |
| Pelo | easilydistrac, how big the usb drive ? how big the torent ? | 02:49 |
| Orbixx | ubobo: Have you tried more than one .chm file? | 02:49 |
| painkiler | Why is my mounted HFS read-only? | 02:50 |
| regeya | meh. | 02:50 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, 160gigs 14 free, torrent is 6.5 | 02:50 |
| bazhang | regeya you got an issue? | 02:50 |
| Pelo | easilydistrac, fat32 is limited to files under 4 gigs | 02:50 |
| regeya | painkiller, don't know, but be aware the hfsplus code isn't bug free | 02:50 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, aha, thanks | 02:50 |
| regeya | bazhang: sorry, keyboard brainfart in wrong channel. | 02:50 |
| painkiler | Argh, ok. | 02:51 |
| easilydistrac | Pelo, you the man/woman/helpful anonymous soul. Thanks a ton | 02:51 |
| * regeya learned about hfsplus the hard way :-/ also, it doesn't do things the same way os x does, double argh | 02:51 | |
| Arceye | bazhang yes I am using ubuntu but I know very little about linux so as there were two options I didn't want to get the wrong set | 02:51 |
| jetscreamer | witakr: it should work. if you try and it doesn't, nothing lost. | 02:51 |
| Pelo | easilydistrac, man | 02:51 |
| painkiler | amen regeya. | 02:51 |
| greybeard95a | Hello all: HELP!!!!! I upgraded to hardy and it does not see the drive on the second IDE channel. This is the bigger drive on my system. | 02:51 |
| jetscreamer | witakr: but do what the distro wants | 02:51 |
| eZe | ok, back, but i am still getting the following error: Failed to get IP address from remote DCHP Server. I switched to the correct timezone, but the time the router has saved is still wrong, does that matter? | 02:51 |
| painkiler | I'm just using the live cd to fix my mac. | 02:52 |
| * Pelo is "the" Pélo , accept no substitute | 02:52 | |
| witakr | jetscreamer: the info you gave me doesnt work because when try to download the .run it says network is unreachable in terminal | 02:52 |
| bazhang | Arceye: you mean when you have an older kernel and that initial screen lets you choose one? usually the top choice is the best one | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | greybeard95a, does 'sudo fdisk -l' see the disk? | 02:52 |
| Pelo | greybeard95a, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 02:52 |
| lo1 | how many people has a mac? | 02:52 |
| * Dr_willis forrgets what channel he is in. :) | 02:52 | |
| greybeard95a | Dr_willis, no it doesn't. The disk is not even listed in the /dev directory. | 02:52 |
| * Pelo glares at Dr_willis | 02:52 | |
| Dr_willis | lo1, i got one in the closet. | 02:52 |
| bazhang | lo1: what does that have to do with ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| jetscreamer | witakr: you would need to fix your internet then? and do browse for the latest driver | 02:53 |
| Arceye | bazhang so from the site address I posted i get the debian drivers ? | 02:53 |
| regeya | painkiller: yeah, I don't know how hard that would be, datafork in foo, resource fork in ._foo, I wouldn't think that hard...but nooooo.... | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | greybeard95a, if its not seen by sudo fdisk -l, i would check with some live cd's and the bios screens to see if they see it.. if they DONT - sounds like a hardware error to me. | 02:53 |
| regeya | we gotta do things different | 02:53 |
| Pelo | bazhang, ubuntu runs on make but the low number of mac users makes it difficult to find help on mac specfic issues | 02:53 |
| puller | how can i open a .jar in termianl? | 02:53 |
| greybeard95a | Dr_willis, the BIOS screen *does* see the drive. | 02:53 |
| witakr | MOMG! My xchate-gnome keeps closing! | 02:53 |
| witakr | bah! | 02:53 |
| Pelo | witakr, use xchat , xchat-gnome is subpar | 02:54 |
| Striking7 | bazhang, is it an intel Mac? If so I can probably help | 02:54 |
| bazhang | Arceye: not sure; didnt read the link--the rtl8187 realtek driver is the one you want though, it will work with the ubuntu latest kernel (gutsy and above) | 02:54 |
| regeya | and shoving people to an ubuntu ppc channel for mac help would be less than meaningless on a current mac... | 02:54 |

| witakr | pelo, word, i will return, thanks | 02:54 |
| periscope | okay, now on to ANOTHER problem. I get no sound at all anywhere, and I have the right things selected (alsa where it applies, usb audio for my card, etc). I get this error when I test the sound in the sound prefs http://pastebin.com/d7a6b44bd | 02:54 |

| bazhang | SamSpade: you have an issue with it? | 02:55 |
| Jaime_ | ok, but i need to mount when installing ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| regeya | bazhang, here's what to do | 02:56 |
| Pelo | periscope, menu > system > admin > users , check the properties of your username, not for root | 02:56 |
| bazhang | Jaime_: it will do that for you | 02:56 |
| regeya | !ask | SamSpade | 02:56 |
| ubot5 | SamSpade: 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. :-) | 02:56 |
| SamSpade | well, its still beta and i had that issue of it taking over some other mime types and just ran the code on the forum | 02:56 |
| bazhang | regeya: I never asked a question ;] | 02:56 |
| Jaime_ | can anyone help me make a new partion? | 02:56 |
| SamSpade | and it doesn't take over the mime types but now twhril doesn't open | 02:56 |
| periscope | Pelo, yes, use audio devices is checked off | 02:56 |
| regeya | bazhang: well, that saves you from 'do you have an issue?' every couple of minutes...just hit someone with 'ask' unelss it's someone like me just saying 'meh | 02:56 |
| bazhang | Jaime_: using what? please clarify | 02:57 |
| regeya | ;-) | 02:57 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, boot the live cd and open the gnome partiton manager in the system admin menu | 02:57 |
| bazhang | regeya: to each his own thanks | 02:57 |
| greybeard95a | Okay, I see hdc--which looks very much like the drive I'm missing | 02:57 |
| Jaime_ | ive selected my hd but cant click "new partion" | 02:57 |
| SamSpade | its more of an adobe question so thats why i wasn't asking it specifically here and was just wondering if anyone else was using air :) | 02:57 |
| witakr | omg already i like this better, thanks Pelo | 02:57 |
| Pelo | periscope, ok so that is not it , open a terminal type alsamixer , put all the levels up , there are more then those on the first screen , keep arrowing right | 02:57 |
| Pelo | witakr, what ? | 02:58 |
| regeya | well...adobe has a full line of products outside of air, so... *wink* you remind me SamSpade that I need to give air a spin | 02:58 |

| CapaH_ | anyone know a way to resume ? | 03:00 |

| Jordan_U | bazhang, Because not all *NIX is the same | 03:22 |
| bazhang | abramson: you might want to look into macports | 03:23 |
| jjb2 | do kernel drivers ever get clobbered or messed up, for example: a) during distro packaging, b) when I upgrade my kernel, etc? I ask because the Hardy kernel doesn't seem to include the improvements (that I wrote!) for the xbox 360 controller in 2.6.24. | 03:23 |
| thedonvaughn | and Apple is just as bad as M$. still closed propietery shiney box | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | bazhang, Because Apple broke X11, because fink sucks, things like that :) | 03:23 |
| bazhang | jjb2: sometimes during kernel upgrades the modules etc can be fuzzled yes | 03:24 |
| usser | apple broke X11? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | usser: you have an issue? | 03:24 |
| usser | apple acquired cups recently and contributes quite a lot to it | 03:24 |
| witakr | can someone please look at this installer errors and tell me what they mean? http://paste2.org/p/21608 | 03:24 |
| usser | bazhang, no i dont | 03:24 |
| gogeta | jjb2 you should be able to compile your own driver in without issue | 03:25 |
| linkinxp | how i edit the Right Click in the desktop menu??? | 03:25 |
| Jordan_U | usser, Gimp no longer works ( last I checked at least ) | 03:25 |
| Crshman | is there a way to have two "seperate" desktops on linux rather than one giant one that everything stretches accross? | 03:25 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U what boooo | 03:25 |
| jjb2 | gogeta, the entire reason I sent a patch in to the kernel was so that I wouldn't have to do that | 03:25 |
| usser | Jordan_U, on a mac? | 03:25 |
| jjb2 | so, it's kind of ironic i guess | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | Crshman, Yes | 03:26 |
| bazhang | Crshman: aye that would be the dualhead option; /msg ubotu dualhead for more info | 03:26 |
| Crshman | ah ok | 03:26 |
| gogeta | Crshman linux has multi desktop built in | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | usser, Yes | 03:26 |
| icesword | what is dualhead | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | jjb2, Is your patch in the upstream vanilla sources? | 03:27 |
| gogeta | 2 monoters | 03:27 |
| Crshman | hmm i looked at the wiki and dualhead and dualscreen both redirect to the same article | 03:27 |
| rainwalker | Crshman: if you mean workspaces, yes. linux had it before OS X stole it :P | 03:27 |
| bazhang | !dualhead | icesword | 03:27 |
| ubot5 | icesword: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 03:27 |
| jjb2 | Jordan_U, yeah it's in 2.6.24 | 03:27 |
| usser | Jordan_U, wow, sucks... | 03:27 |
| jjb2 | Jordan_U, i should probably check out the Ubuntu source | 03:27 |
| Crshman | no, i mean two seperate desktop areas....so the top menu bars don't stretch accross both screens and apps don't open in the middle of them both so i have to drag them to either side | 03:27 |
| Johninky | ok your all wrong!!! someone should have put somewhere of all the programs that you can add | 03:28 |

| brrybnds | nickrud: I did, as per the guide I was following; cliff@cliff-ubuntu:~$ sudo chown -R cliff:cliff /media/bigger didn't seem to change anything though | 03:41 |
| sellout | i need to know how to launch that manually | 03:41 |
| Jaime_ | Pelo: well i am in the partion editor window and got my hd selected but i cant clink on "new", only on "delete" and "resize/Move" | 03:41 |
| Pelo | sellout, did you reconfigrue xserver ? | 03:42 |
| gogeta | abramson updates come from itunes thers no linux ver yes stupid being its a osx app | 03:42 |
| Jaime_ | and "copy" | 03:42 |
| thedonvaughn | brrybnds: did that after mounting it? | 03:42 |
| usser | nickrud, i thought it was kinda magic that gnome allowed per-user res settings. Does it really modify xorg.conf on load? | 03:42 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, you need to unmount the partition first | 03:42 |
| === administrator is now known as Emp | ||
| === Emp is now known as Empire | ||

| thedonvaughn | brrybnds: also chmod 775 /media/bigger if it still doesn't work after chown'ing | 03:42 |
| birgi | hey all, I cannot see any wireless networks in the network manager. however I can list them through manual configuration or iwlist ath0 scan... any ideas about how to fix this? | 03:42 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, are you doing this from the live cd ? or from the installed ubuntu ? | 03:43 |
| Jaime_ | live cd | 03:43 |
| bazhang | birgi: do you have an open wifi spot to test on | 03:43 |
| Lake | I have a machine with SSH on it, and while it works on LAN, I can't get proper port forwarding and so I can't access it from da Internetz | 03:43 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, and you can'T unmount and edit the partions ? | 03:43 |
| sellout | Pelo: yes, and even afterwords even trying to start failsafe, results in seriously bork screen | 03:43 |
| birgi | bazhang: yes i do | 03:43 |
| Lake | with the exception of port forwarding from the router and opening iptables as to let anything coming from the router in, is there anything else I am not doing right ? | 03:44 |
| bazhang | birgi: what does ifconfig show? ath0? | 03:44 |
| Jaime_ | from the beginning the partion was mounted but now i unmounted it...cant mount it nack though | 03:44 |
| ragsagar | yeah! | 03:44 |
| nickrud | usser no, it keeps the data it uses in gconf, and usex xrandr (I think) . Looking in gconf for the keys right now | 03:44 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, ok lets start from scratch, right now you hve partitions tat cover the whiole hdd, select the partiton you will be reducing, right click , unmount it, then right click again, resize and make it smaller | 03:44 |
| birgi | bazhang: it says UP, RUNNING but no ip is obtained. | 03:44 |
| ragsagar | just add it in fstab | 03:44 |
| Pelo | sellout, when you reconfigured x did you pick the vesa driver ? did you mess with anyother setting ? | 03:45 |
| Jaime_ | 1 min pelo | 03:45 |
| bazhang | birgi: you are connected by ethernet on that box now? | 03:45 |
| sellout | Pelo: vesa gives nothing but screen garbage at 800x600 too it is an ati radeon mobility m6 | 03:45 |
| birgi | bazhang: yes | 03:45 |
| ragsagar | wat the :o | 03:45 |
| brrybnds | thanks thedonvaughn, that chmod 775 seemed to do it, have a great night! | 03:45 |
| === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle | ||
| bazhang | birgi: if you connect (or try to ) wit wifi it will kill your ethernet connection--you may want to test at your leisure sudo dhclient ath0 | 03:46 |
| Pelo | sellout, wow no idea then , but I generaly sugest that when you recnfigure to use vesa you leave all the other settings to default and let the app do the job but you apperently went throught the motion | 03:46 |
| thedonvaughn | brrybnds: np. 775 = rwx for user, rwx for group a and r-x for everyone else. u need executiable set on a directory to be able to read/write to it. just little fyi | 03:46 |
| ubuntu | hi. I'm trying to install kubuntu off a livecd, using the "install" option. The install goes fine, but when it's done I try to apply all the available package upgrades using adept. That goes for a while and then crashes, saying there was a problem. After that, I can't restart Adept, it tells me something's already using the package database. If I try to reboot after that, it tells me "file not found" or something like that | 03:46 |
| Jaime_ | Pelo_: why make it smaller? | 03:47 |
| bazhang | ubuntu: specify the problem please | 03:47 |
| Pelo | ubuntu, sudo killalll -9 apt | 03:47 |
| birgi | bazhang: ok thanks, but in my gentoo system when i clicked the network manager icon it was showing all the wireless networks, not i cannot find them from there, moreover it seems not to support wpa enterprise??? | 03:47 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, you want to make a new partition ? you need to make room for it , you need to make some partiton smaller, or delete one | 03:48 |
| brrybnds | thedonvaughn: good to know, I'm (slowly) picking the unix commands back up from my original web/shell days | 03:48 |
| bazhang | birgi: then you know the cli pretty well right? let me get you a link for howto cli wifi in ubuntu | 03:48 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 here birgi | 03:48 |
| ubuntu | I can reinstall pretty easily.. but this has happened twice already while upgrading packages. why would adept be crashing? | 03:48 |
| birgi | bazhang: ok thanks a lot, i'll try to figure out that :) | 03:49 |
| Jaime_ | okey, i see now, so i can make my nowly partion 5gig smaller? (my free space on harddrive) | 03:49 |
| Pelo | ubuntu, bad packge ? ubuntu reboot, and assuming you hve a gui for adept where you can choose what packages to update, just pick a few and do those | 03:49 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, basicaly | 03:50 |
| diagon | I installed a program from source, am now would prefer to do it through synaptic, is there any precautions or considerations I should take (linking issues, two versions of the same program...) | 03:50 |
| Joeseph | alrighty, I have one soundcard shown installed on my system. It doesn't work. I can't hear any sounds. XP plays sound. Alsa Mixer muted/unmuted things look fine, but that could be my problem. I've been working on this problem for about 3 months | 03:50 |
| diagon | or will it in some likelihood just overwrite/skip things that are already on the system? | 03:50 |
| binjie | hi... | 03:50 |
| Jaime_ | and then make a new partion with the 5 gigs left? | 03:50 |
| Pelo | diagon, remove the one you installed from source first, get the source again, do all the steps but at then end, sudo make uninstall | 03:50 |
| ubuntu | if it was a bad package, it's pretty crappy that adept/apt doesn't tell me that, and tell me which package. | 03:50 |
| diagon | Pelo: I tried that, it didn't work | 03:50 |
| birgi | bazhang: thanks a lot, this seems to be the resource i was looking for, for a long time :) | 03:51 |
| Pelo | diagon, well you can try instaling the deb over but I would personnaly use the search feature and try to get rid of as many files for that app as I can first | 03:51 |

| Joeseph | I've followed serveral guides online, and none have been able to fix my sound problem, any help? | 03:59 |
| Pelo | Jaime_, it is not impossible but it is usualy pretty safe, better backup your important stuff first and if it is a ntfs/fat partiton , defrag it a fwe times it will make things faster | 03:59 |
| bazhang | birgi: let me know if you get stuck; I once (suse 10.0) had to get an external pcmcia card going with ndiswrapper to a wpa2 connection | 03:59 |

| Pelo | Joeseph, ok make note of the device id or whatever, card model as listed in the lspic output, goto menu > system >prefs> sound , for each sound event , ( each drop down box) find the alsa device taht constains someting that looks like the lable in lspic for you audio device, you get what I mean ? | 04:06 |
| bazhang | Jaime_: well like I said you can import stuff (data) etc via the installer; if you do not have a backup already that is unfortunate | 04:06 |
| reya276 | crdlb: oh so this means it should work after I reboot my system right? | 04:06 |
| pretender | ok thanks | 04:07 |

| Starnestommy | pat_: what kind of problem are you having with ICQ? | 04:17 |
| iwkse | Pelo: thanks:) | 04:17 |
| nickrud | witakr no, except maybe booting into recovery mode with the normal card, running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , and selecting the vesa driver and a reasonable resolution, then putting the card back in. | 04:17 |
| ragsagar | gnomebaker has only limited options | 04:18 |
| guest | Pelo, Thanks ... it's now installing program | 04:18 |
| bazhang | ragsagar: please listen to pelo | 04:18 |
| ragsagar | ok | 04:18 |
| Joeseph | now all I need is a low resource music manager akin to itunes..... any suggestions? I have Banshee, but it eats up my cpu | 04:19 |
| ragsagar | ok! | 04:19 |
| * nickrud wonders what he'll do without dpkg-reconfigure in hardy | 04:19 | |
| Pelo | Joeseph, try beep-music-player or xmms | 04:19 |
| iwkse | Pelo: i don't see the language menu in addon, i'm using firefox-3 under hurdy | 04:19 |
| ragsagar | i knw k3b is for kde and iam a kde user | 04:19 |
| icesword | !& | 04:19 |
| pedrosanta | Joeseph: Rythmbox it's pretty nice | 04:19 |
| Pelo | nickrud, it still works but it just has less options | 04:19 |
| witakr | nickrud, whats the vesa driver, i havent heard that one before | 04:19 |
| nickrud | Pelo yeah, it sucks | 04:19 |
| pat_ | .... | 04:20 |
| iwkse | ue | 04:20 |
| ragsagar | nickrud, k3 sucks ??????? :o | 04:20 |
| nickrud | witakr it's the generic video driver, works with almost all cards | 04:20 |
| Pelo | iwkse, it's suppose to be in there, run an update , it will probably load , I didn'T have it for a while | 04:20 |
| nickrud | ragsagar not talking about k3b | 04:20 |
| Pelo | nickrud, we do like our options don'T we | 04:20 |
| nickrud | pelo that -pcritical fixes so many issues .... | 04:20 |
| pat_ | erm....can someone explain to me how do i install tar.gz :P? | 04:20 |
| bazhang | pat_: what file | 04:21 |
| Pelo | nickrud, ;-) | 04:21 |
| nickrud | pat_ depends on what's in it. | 04:21 |
| pat_ | licq ;p | 04:21 |
| witakr | nickrud, ok so i will try that but after editing the xserver_zorg i should reboot in normal mode? | 04:21 |
| periscope | nickrud, okay. I rebooted after that update, and now it is in the dropdown list in sound prefs, but it says (not connected) when it is. | 04:21 |
| Pelo | pat_, check in synaptic first, ifyou have a package in the repos use it , better then compiling | 04:21 |
| nickrud | pat_ isn't it in the repos? apt-cache search licq | 04:21 |
| nickrud | periscope try unplgging and plugging | 04:21 |
| bazhang | check repos pat_ | 04:22 |
| Pelo | pat_, but meanwhile , you can look in here for an explanaiton http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ | 04:22 |
| iwkse | Pelo: i have ff 3beta4 | 04:22 |
| ragsagar | pat | 04:22 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install licq pat_ | 04:22 |
| ragsagar | just xtract the file | 04:22 |
| ragsagar | and read the install text file inside | 04:22 |
| periscope | nickrud, still says it. | 04:22 |
| ragsagar | and do as said | 04:22 |
| pat_ | all right thx; d | 04:22 |
| bazhang | ragsagar: not good advice here | 04:22 |
| ragsagar | bazhang | 04:22 |
| nickrud | periscope not sure then. I haven't messed with usb sound (yet) | 04:22 |
| ragsagar | iam not getting u :( | 04:22 |
| diagon | Okay... I have this stupid problem, where I have two versions of ruby installed (synaptic puts it in /usr/, sources put it in /usr/local/) | 04:22 |
| Pelo | iwkse, so do I , it is possible that the package for your language is not available yet, but open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update , see if any are available , it so it might be in there | 04:22 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys, im wanting to put XP back on my machine, i have done this before, but im wondering if there is a way i can use grub to select my OS | 04:23 |
| bazhang | pat_: always best to search in the repos first | 04:23 |
| periscope | nickrud, it still isn't under the "default mixer tracks" category though, and I can't see it under change device in mixer | 04:23 |
| periscope | nickrud, ah okay, no problem | 04:23 |
| periscope | nickrud thanks for trying anyway heh | 04:23 |
| nickrud | ragsagar we advocate (strongly) packages over compiling, simply because we can support it | 04:23 |

| bazhang | ToddEDM: yes; /msg ubotu grub for a link how to fix grub after | 04:23 |
| ragsagar | bazhang,but he asked "how to install .tar.gz" isnt it? | 04:23 |
| nickrud | periscope I knew how to get the module, but use the module? When I can afford it :) | 04:23 |
| ragsagar | its the best answer for it,isnt it? | 04:23 |
| periscope | nickrud, would reinstalling alsa solve anything? is that even possible? haha | 04:24 |
| bazhang | ragsagar: but in this case it was not needed as was in the repos you understand? | 04:24 |
| ragsagar | ubot5, ok | 04:24 |
| ubot5 | Factoid ok not found | 04:24 |
| nickrud | ragsagar not if there's a package. Three quarters of support here is figuring out the underlying question, not just the surface one. | 04:24 |
| ubot5 | ragsagar: Error: "ok" is not a valid command. | 04:24 |
| Pelo | ragsagar, there is more to it then that , and no it is not the best answer , the best answer it to tell them to check in the repos first for a precompiled package, it is much easier | 04:24 |
| ragsagar | bazhang, ok | 04:24 |
| ragsagar | ubot5, try man ok | 04:25 |

| Jefrey | bazhang: i just need the init script, can't seem to find them in sendmail source, i did a apt-get remove and install again, it does not restore em | 04:50 |
| Pelo | keverw, sudo dpkg .... | 04:50 |
| gogeta | abramson hahahaha wine does not run windows | 04:50 |
| bazhang | Jefrey: okay, did not see that in your initial post | 04:50 |
| LSG | Leonidas_ Yeah, i know what you mean. I have dual boot (WinXP and Ubuntu) and everytime i need to boot WinXP i die a little inside... | 04:50 |
| gogeta | abramson it runs windows apps | 04:50 |
| usantu | i have player set as vlc in config in soapcast. but still it says connecting and does nothing | 04:50 |
| fairyeneried | Hussni, and your problem with banshee is exactly what problem? | 04:50 |
| Pelo | Hussni, type /join #ubuntu-br that will get you to the brazilian channel you can ask for help there | 04:50 |
| keco | i havea flyvideo 2000, ubuntu 8.04 have support for this device? | 04:51 |

| Leonidas_ | I can do most things in Ubuntu, or at least I know how to use Google to figure them out! But, I still need to learn a lot of terminal commands and how to compile from source myself, etc. etc. Yes I know the dying feeling you speak of! | 04:51 |
| Pelo | keco, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 04:51 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, wine does not run a windows inside linux, just program designed for windows | 04:51 |
| Pelo | Leonidas_, these will help http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ | 04:52 |
| harksaw | bazhang, it only did my main monitor. How do I get it to autodetect for my TV? | 04:52 |
| bazhang | http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ this is a good beginner bit Leonidas_ | 04:52 |
| gogeta | Leonidas_ ./configure $$ make | 04:52 |
| gogeta | Leonidas_ done :) | 04:52 |
| gogeta | lol | 04:52 |
| LSG | Leonidas_ Well, luckily you can ask for help or advice in here and you'll always get answers | 04:52 |
| kenan_ | Hey, I am having a pretty bad problem whenever I shut down my computer from the log in window. When I want to shut down, my motherboard starts beeping like crazy and my monitor starts flashing and acts random. The weird thing is that when I shut down from the user desktop it works fine. I need this problem to get fixed because whenever this happens it looks like the whole computer is gonna crash. Any ideas? | 04:52 |
| bazhang | harksaw: will this be always on? you can /msg ubotu dualhead or /msg ubotu xinerama for more links on that | 04:53 |
| fairyeneried | i'll ask again, what is this new linux-virtual kernel??? i knew the others linux-rt (real time), linux-server, linux-generic, but what is this linux-virtual??? | 04:53 |
| harksaw | bazhang, I don't know if it's relevant, but the TV is on component cables, so autodetect probably won't work, I'm guessing | 04:53 |
| Leonidas_ | WOW! Ask and you shall receive! | 04:53 |
| abramson | dusnt it run windows apps in linux? | 04:53 |
| Leonidas_ | lol | 04:53 |
| gogeta | kenan_ multibeeps sounds like a video error | 04:53 |
| abramson | that is wine... | 04:53 |
| bazhang | harksaw: that might be the issue; any way to use vga with that? | 04:53 |
| LSG | Leonidas_ Indeed! | 04:53 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, wine runs some windows apps on linux | 04:53 |
| abramson | does it run itunes? | 04:54 |
| Jefrey | i guess i'll need to reinstall another server to get that | 04:54 |
| bazhang | !appdb | abramson | 04:54 |
| ubot5 | abramson: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 04:54 |
| dragon_ | is there another channel I should join to get help with my touchpad? | 04:54 |
| Pelo | abramson, wine is a program you install in linux that reproduces the windows api so you can run windows program in the linux environnement | 04:54 |
| LSG | abramson You can always use Amarok instead of iTunes | 04:54 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, i think it is too hard to run itunes using wine | 04:54 |
| Leonidas_ | Yes, I don't mind asking questions, but I want to become more than a "user" of Ubuntu, I'm going to school for Comp Sci and MIS so I would like to get more involved with Ubuntu, that's why I need to learn a lot of this stuff | 04:54 |
| kenan_ | gogeta: where does this error come from and how do I fix it? | 04:54 |
| Pelo | dragon_, this is pretty much it | 04:54 |
| gogeta | kenan_ hate to sound dumb but check to see if your card hasent came lose | 04:54 |

| ice_cream | wine is weak | 04:54 |
| Leonidas_ | Many people, including myself are just sick of Microsoft's bullshit | 04:54 |
| IdleOne | !br | 04:55 |
| ubot5 | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 04:55 |
| Leonidas_ | it's time for a change | 04:55 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, cause itunes requires usb support, and access to sound system, and... | 04:55 |
| ice_cream | esp. ubuntu wine! | 04:55 |
| bazhang | language please Leonidas_ | 04:55 |
| harksaw | bazhang, I might be able to get a dvi-hdmi adapter. Do you think that would make it possibly autoconfig? | 04:55 |
| Pelo | Hussni, /join #ubuntu-br | 04:55 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, amarok is a really nice alternative to itunes | 04:55 |
| Leonidas_ | I apologize | 04:55 |
| Leonidas_ | Sorry about that | 04:55 |
| bazhang | harksaw: worth a shot | 04:55 |
| usantu | where can i get help on soapcast ? | 04:55 |
| Leonidas_ | Maybe I should read a little more closely | 04:55 |
| harksaw | bazhang, i'll try picking one up. Thanks so much for your help | 04:55 |
| Pelo | Leonidas_, we do not bitch about windows and ms we enjoy the competition, but more we enjoy winning it | 04:55 |
| bazhang | Leonidas_: the links in the /topic are good too | 04:56 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, the other alternative you have is to run a windows inside linux using a virtual machine to be able to use all the itunes features... but that's to kill a mosquito with a warhammer... | 04:56 |
| Leonidas_ | Oh ok, thank you | 04:56 |
| kenan_ | gogeta: well ill check it once I shut down but multibeep does not happen when it shut down from the user desktop, its only when i shut down from the log in window that I get these errors | 04:56 |
| abramson | kk- thx fairy- also, wer can i get a fix for the wi-fi problem evry1 is having- i hav a first generation macbook white bottom model with extra RAM wifi worked on lepoard... | 04:56 |
| MrSteve | bazhang - what size should I used in partitions with a 200GB drive | 04:56 |

| Mythril | Is something up with firefox on 7.10? | 04:57 |
| kenan_ | gogeta: sorry im kinda noob, what is acpi and how do i disable it? | 04:57 |
| gogeta | kenan_ pass acpi=off apm=off to grub and see how it acts then | 04:57 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, maybe ndiswrapper, but I'm not sure | 04:57 |
| LSG | Mythril Not that i know of.. | 04:57 |
| Mythril | It keeps telling me that "extensions has no properties" in the error console of my firefox | 04:57 |
| MrSteve | bazhang - right after the unetbootin gets installed, it reboots the pc, and then will start.. | 04:58 |
| abramson | alrite, and u no anythin about wi-fi by any chance? | 04:58 |
| fairyeneried | and... abramson, try to use full words, not everyone here is english native speaker, and for people like me, it is hard to read it and give help to you | 04:58 |
| bazhang | MrSteve: this is dual boot or all for ubuntu? if only ubuntu then you might wish to have a seperate /home partition (bigger the better), / (around 20GB if you can) /swap (normallly double ram but depends) and then /boot of about 100MB that should do | 04:58 |
| usantu | ok guys | 04:58 |
| abramson | oh, sorry.. I'll try | 04:59 |
| usantu | bye for bow | 04:59 |
| gogeta | kenan_ for a little guide press e at kernel on grub | 04:59 |
| MrSteve | bazhang -- 200GB .. all Ubuntu | 04:59 |
| usantu | now | 04:59 |
| gogeta | kenan_ and add those 2 to it and boot | 04:59 |
| gogeta | at the end | 04:59 |
| bazhang | MrSteve: then that should do (as outlined above) | 04:59 |
| MrSteve | bazhang -- mebe 3x 60 partions? | 04:59 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, ;) is just to be able to read it faster and give you the correct help you need ;) | 04:59 |
| abramson | ya, I know | 05:00 |
| reidiculous | \quit | 05:00 |
| bazhang | MrSteve: 60GB for / ? the entire ubuntu repos is only 45 GB ;] | 05:00 |
| gogeta | kenan_ if it works then well make ir a perment option | 05:00 |
| fairyeneried | well, i think nobody knows what is this virtual kernel about... | 05:00 |
| Leonidas_ | Pelo, Yes winning it is a good thing. You know, I was thinking about that today. If the PC gaming market dies (it's in a slow death now) many more people would switch to Linux in my opinion | 05:00 |
| abramson | When i use french servers.... You get the picture | 05:00 |
| dragon_ | I've already done what it says on that guide, but I can't get the touchpad gui or synclient to work...both tell me to set SHMConfig to "true" in my xorg.conf, but it's there! My xorg.config reads exactly like it says on the tutorial, but it's still not working... | 05:00 |
| nonewmsgs | how do you get a picture with a geforce 7900? | 05:00 |

| fairyeneried | bye guys | 05:03 |
| gogeta | to goes with the main boot | 05:03 |
| abramson | fairy: you suggested I use Amarok as an alternate to iTunes; does it work with iPhones, and does it recieve apple updates? | 05:03 |
| Leonidas_ | Yeah I've been on and off since Feisty, but my laptop doesn't have that good of performance like my PC, so I said time for the whole shabang! | 05:03 |
| zeno | when i connect my camera i get [ 2311.004000] usb 3-1: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd digikam rqt 128 rq 6 len 1000 ret -110 :( | 05:03 |
| kenan_ | ok ill try that now | 05:03 |
| kenan_ | thanks | 05:03 |
| bazhang | MrSteve: that way if you want to do some other distro or just a fresh install of Hardy (next release) then nothing will be touched of your data settings etc | 05:03 |
| abramson | If so, how do I update my iPhone to it? | 05:03 |
| rlanham | what is the command in terminal to tell what users are logged in? | 05:03 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, oh! i don't know if amarok will work with an ipod... | 05:03 |
| Leonidas_ | I've been trying to get my Creative MP3 player working, almost have it going. | 05:04 |
| abramson | oh...... | 05:04 |
| MrSteve | I just don't fathom... | 05:04 |
| bazhang | abramson: you dont use itunes in windows or apple; or use windows in a vm and do it there via iTunes | 05:04 |
| fairyeneried | abramson, then install a virtualbox, a windows inside, and use the ipod through this windows | 05:04 |
| eaglestar | i have a question i am trying to turn on my wifi but it is not in the gui but the restricted driver is loaded how do i go around this | 05:04 |
| MrSteve | I see, I need a / , diresctory, and a /home , directory.. and var, and swap, and etc etc.. and they are so small | 05:05 |
| bazhang | eaglestar: what does ifconfig report? three entries or two | 05:05 |
| abramson | What virtual machines are free for linux - parralels is the only one I know of, and you have to buy it...? | 05:05 |

| LSG | abramson: write any keyword and it should find it in the names or descriptions | 05:09 |
| gogeta | abramson well that you shooting for | 05:09 |
| Leonidas_ | I'm not too worried about the player though. I did notice that Gnomad2 has a new version out but for some reason Ubuntu is telling me the one I have is the latest version when it's not | 05:09 |

| gogeta | alarmo xcontrast lol | 05:35 |
| gogeta | that was a wiled guess | 05:36 |
| alarmo | hahah :) no such program | 05:36 |

| Triox | where in 7.10 would I do to adjust the screen for a tablet. Touching the center of the screen puts the curser almost to the top right corner | 05:36 |

| gogeta | Pedd1 closing it should fix it | 05:53 |
| alarmo | Pedd1, usually killing all firefox processes and starting it again solves it... well... it usually solves all not-kernel memory leaks | 05:53 |
| tempest | am using 64bit hardy | 05:53 |
| ptn107 | littlepinkdot: oh, can't tightvnc do that natively | 05:53 |
| tempest | not sure if that makes the difference | 05:53 |
| msingh | tempest, as am I! | 05:53 |
| Peddy | I have a DL going on :( | 05:53 |
| gogeta | Pedd1 firefox has had that memery leak for ages | 05:53 |
| alarmo | close all the windows.... if it doesn't solve, search (with ps) for any firefox process around.... and kill them all.... it's fox hunting season, you know ? | 05:54 |
| littlepinkdot | pteague, tightvnc is vnc lol Im looking for a vpn | 05:54 |

| aro | Peddy, what bug | 05:55 |
| Lake | alarmo: I want to create a user that only sees files in it's home folder | 05:55 |
| Lake | alarmo: so it can't actually see any files outside of it and obviously cant execute any programs or executables | 05:56 |
| alarmo | hmmmm....he WILL have to see some other files, after all, if you want to execute some file, you'll have to read it... | 05:56 |
| Peddy | aro, its using 1GB of RAM | 05:56 |
| Peddy | aro, alarmo says its a memory leakage bug | 05:56 |
| Peddy | or something | 05:56 |
| aro | Peddy, never had Firefox use that much on me before | 05:56 |
| gogeta | Lake kinda exessiv | 05:56 |
| Lake | gogeta: I have to remove read rights for the whole system minus the user's home folder ? | 05:56 |
| gogeta | Lake naa that might not work | 05:57 |
| alarmo | Lake, I'm sorry to keep asking but... what would you do with such a user ? | 05:57 |
| Lake | gogeta: well, I am trying to make a file server through SSH.. | 05:57 |

| Lake | gogeta: can people upload as well ? | 05:58 |
| gogeta | Lake if you whant yes | 05:58 |
| alarmo | Lake, but it won't be cryptographed... | 05:58 |
| Lake | gogeta: would you say it's painful do this via shell ? | 05:58 |
| gogeta | Lake making such a user would be painfull | 05:59 |

| gogeta | Lake yep | 06:00 |
| alarmo | Lake, I don't know the software... but it looks like this Pure FTPd would be simple enough | 06:01 |
| gogeta | Lake you could do that w samba to | 06:01 |
| Lake | gogeta: wouldnt sambe be less secure ? | 06:01 |
| gogeta | Lake lol so is ftp | 06:01 |
| gogeta | Lake anything other then ssh is less secure | 06:02 |
| alarmo | well, I guess you can't use sambe over internet, can you ? | 06:02 |
| Lake | gogeta: which is why a hardcore ssh user account would be perfect :P | 06:02 |

| TRC2908 | i need to mount an ext hard drive, can anyone advise how to edit fstab? how do i login as root? | 06:02 |
| gogeta | Lake you gonna have to make some kind of sandbox user to make sh work | 06:03 |
| gogeta | ssh | 06:03 |
| alarmo | Lake, take a look at this page: http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd | 06:03 |
| gogeta | Lake with acess to 1 folder and ssh | 06:03 |
| Lake | alarmo: thx | 06:03 |
| Lake | gogeta: yeah, thats what I wanted to do in the 1st place | 06:03 |
| aoshi | If anyone here knows how to install the drivers for an 8800GT please PM me.. | 06:03 |
| alarmo | Lake, just keep in mind that I don't actually KNOW this software... it came out of a google search. | 06:03 |
| Lake | alarmo: exploring is fun in any case | 06:04 |
| gogeta | Lake iv seen it done | 06:04 |
| gogeta | Lake hears something on it | 06:05 |

| TRC2908 | i need to mount an ext hard drive, can anyone advise how to edit fstab? how do i login as root? | 06:05 |
| Lake | gogeta: it's pretty hardcore..so I just take the user's read, write & execute rights from everywehre minus the home folder | 06:05 |

| tempest | sudo vi /etc/fstab | 06:06 |
| witakr | hello folks, im back | 06:06 |
| gogeta | Lake that would defently sandbox the user | 06:06 |
| tinomen | bah, no luck with 8.04, 7.10, safe mode, usbs disconnected, I guess this comp cant run a live cd, worth a shot though | 06:06 |
| Lake | gogeta: hmm okay, now I just gotta find the command lines to do this over SSH since my server is headless | 06:07 |
| witakr | nickrud, I tried what you said about running in recovery mode | 06:07 |
| yesily | haha | 06:07 |
| Lake | thanks gogeta and thanks alarmo for your attention span :) | 06:07 |
| TRC2908 | i think its dev/sda | 06:08 |
| gogeta | Lake your better off w ftp and a virtule machine | 06:08 |
| yesily | 看看能用中文不 阿阿阿阿 | 06:08 |
| yesily | 能用 | 06:08 |
| gogeta | Lake if someone hacks your su password on ssh they can wreak havic | 06:08 |
| Lake | gogeta: hm yeah, I think so too | 06:09 |
| TRC2908 | new to ubuntu - how do i log in as root | 06:09 |
| gogeta | Lakeusing a vm you can limit the damage to the fake pc | 06:09 |
| Lake | gogeta: Im not ready for a virtual machine and I am also not ready to screw up my installation because I am changing system-wide read rights | 06:09 |
| jrib | TRC2908: read the private message from ubotu | 06:09 |
| Lake | gogeta: but its a good idea nontheless | 06:09 |
| TRC2908 | how do i access that? | 06:10 |
| snowdoll | yesily: 在這裡用中文其他人可能會看到亂碼的 | 06:10 |
| jrib | !sudo | TRC2908 | 06:10 |
| ubot5 | TRC2908: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 06:10 |
| gogeta | Lake lol you dont change em system wide just the user | 06:10 |
| Lake | gogeta: I thikn I am going to go with an FTP server | 06:10 |
| gogeta | Lake yea alot easer | 06:10 |
| gogeta | Lake i would say ftp plus vm | 06:10 |
| gogeta | v pretty safe then | 06:10 |
| Lake | gogeta: yeah but to restrict the user, you gotta tell the whole system to ignore it, no ? | 06:11 |
| Lake | gogeta: wouldnt you chmod the whole / to sandbox the user correctly ? | 06:11 |
| gogeta | Lake you make a group like sandbox | 06:11 |
| alarmo | Lake, all you would need to do is to disable that user from logging in... | 06:11 |
| gogeta | Lake you make the system see that that guser in that group have no rites | 06:12 |
| Auctionedllama | Hi guys | 06:12 |
| alarmo | merely setting his shell for something like /bin/false would do the trick, I think... | 06:12 |
| alarmo | but I'm no security expert... take my advices with a grain of salt... | 06:12 |
| gogeta | Lake i have no idea how to do it text only | 06:12 |
| Lake | gogeta: hm okay, so make user, place him in group and strip group of all rights... | 06:12 |
| Lake | gogeta: I will figure the shell commands out :P | 06:12 |
| gogeta | Lake yep | 06:12 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey, I finally got my ATI drivers isntalled... but I go to enable compiz and it says Compisite extension not available.. how do I fix this? | 06:12 |
| gogeta | Lake so its not system wide | 06:12 |
| gogeta | Lake only affect that user group | 06:13 |
| alarmo | Lake, what exactly are you trying to do now ? I got lost... | 06:13 |
| Lake | gogeta: once I strip his group of all rights, how do I give him just enough rights to write in his home folder (but not execute) ? | 06:13 |
| alarmo | :P | 06:13 |
| gogeta | Lake Lake yep and remove it from any other groups | 06:13 |
| icesword | snowdoll, hiya | 06:13 |
| gogeta | Lake that will sandbox only that group | 06:13 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey, I finally got my ATI drivers isntalled... but I go to enable compiz and it says Compisite extension not available.. how do I fix this? | 06:14 |
| gogeta | Lake and not the entire system | 06:14 |
| Lake | alarmo: strilll trying to make a user with access only to his home folder :P | 06:14 |
| alarmo | Lake, gave up on the FTP idea ? | 06:14 |
| Lake | alarmo: not quite but it's not secure and I already implemented ssh and have a ounce of experience with it | 06:14 |
| gogeta | alarmo no he thought he had the sandbox the entire server | 06:14 |
| Lake | alarmo: but I will try FTP too | 06:14 |
| sexcopter | i just bought a rather juicy big external harddrive, and i'm wonder, when i come round to installing hardy when it's released, is it possible to mount /home in a dedicated partition on this new hdd? | 06:14 |
| jrib | sexcopter: yes | 06:15 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: i had same problem. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf at bottom of xorg file you see Option Composite you change setting to 'Enable' if it isn't already | 06:15 |
| gogeta | alarmo making a user in a sepret group eg sandbox and sanboxing that group would work | 06:15 |
| Auctionedllama | Ok legend thanks mate | 06:15 |
| alarmo | Lake, well, about the "not secure" I'd say "not encrypted" ... but encryption for file transfer wouldn't be exactly needed... | 06:15 |
| ToddEDM | ok guys... can someone help me install windows, i need to make a windows partition, but HOW?? | 06:15 |
| talcite__ | hi guys. I'm having trouble with the ssh options. When would I use -L, and when would I use -R? | 06:15 |
| sexcopter | jrib: cool, is it fairly clear during the install how to do that? i think i recall from last time seeing that option | 06:16 |
| alarmo | gogeta, I don't know if you can do that... except if that works with ACL's which I never got into learning... | 06:16 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440- it says that the option is on 0 | 06:16 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: back up xorg.conf first just in case of problems | 06:16 |
| talcite__ | the manpage instructions for each are identical except for remote and local. I need more information | 06:16 |
| Lake | alarmo, gogeta actually I might do both, why not! I will both FTP and try to make that special special user work | 06:16 |
| gogeta | alarmowell i knoe in the gui it was possable to do it | 06:16 |
| gogeta | alarmo you could change ind groups rights | 06:16 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: mine says Option "Composite" "Enable" | 06:17 |
| jrib | sexcopter: yes, it should be clear if you use the desktop cd | 06:17 |
| alarmo | Usually posix access rights only define "owner, group, other" ... | 06:17 |
| Auctionedllama | ok.. its on 0 for me.. I'll enable it xD | 06:17 |
| abramson | my wifi dusnt work, suggestions on how to fix it? | 06:17 |
| jrib | !wifi > abramson (read the private message from ubotu) | 06:17 |
| alarmo | it doesn't really matter what group you are, if other is set to readable... | 06:17 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: are you using fglrx? | 06:17 |
| gogeta | alarmo so if ou put a user only in that group in thery anyways you would sandbox only that user amd not the system | 06:17 |
| Auctionedllama | yes | 06:17 |
| Auctionedllama | somehow | 06:17 |
| Auctionedllama | I got it to work | 06:17 |
| Auctionedllama | this was my 4th format | 06:17 |
| abramson | ??? | 06:17 |
| Auctionedllama | and 5 days of working on my card | 06:18 |
| FloodBot3 | Auctionedllama: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:18 |
| Auctionedllama | and I got it to function | 06:18 |
| jrib | abramson: ubotu sent you a private message with relevant information | 06:18 |
| abramson | jrib: im new, can u explain wat u mean | 06:18 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: yes i had same problem mine is radeon 9600 | 06:18 |
| abramson | how do i c it? | 06:18 |
| Lake | alarmo: can you set other to invisble ? | 06:18 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: mines a x1650 so its not supported by the open driver | 06:19 |
| jrib | abramson: what client are you using? | 06:19 |
| Auctionedllama | ok.. gonna restart | 06:19 |
| Auctionedllama | brb | 06:19 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: ok | 06:19 |
| abramson | xchat | 06:19 |
| jrib | abramson: then there is a tab somewhere that says "ubotu", click on it | 06:19 |
| msingh | ati sucks.. never buy ati again | 06:19 |
| alarmo | Lake, not that I know of... as far as I know, if a file has whatever rights set on "other", it doesn't matter which user or which group, it will those rights if he is not owner or in the owning group of the file | 06:19 |
| Lake | would anyone know where iptables keeps its logs ? | 06:19 |
| alarmo | and, most files would have their rights on other on a linux box... | 06:20 |
| abramson | no... there isnt... | 06:20 |
| jrib | !wifi | abramson | 06:20 |
| ubot5 | abramson: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:20 |

| GH-VAIO | ±.:[Í]:.± cant seem to use make | 06:21 |
| alarmo | Lake, you could, of course, use FTP + a non-loggable user... | 06:21 |
| gogeta | Lake easy | 06:21 |
| jrib | GH-VAIO: don't format your text like that please | 06:21 |
| Talcite | so what is the difference between the -R and -L options in ssh? when would I use each? | 06:21 |
| Lake | alarmo: whats a non-loggalbeu seR? | 06:21 |
| Lake | alarmo: Ill google that | 06:21 |
| GH-VAIO | sorrie | 06:21 |
| gogeta | Lake your gonna need to make system wide changes for ssh to work | 06:21 |
| GH-VAIO | i cant seem to use make | 06:21 |
| alarmo | so the user will exist, but you wouldn't be able to, say, log in a ssh shell | 06:21 |
| GH-VAIO | make: *** [all] Error 1 <-- this is the error | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | GH-VAIO, What are you trying to compile? | 06:21 |
| GH-VAIO | psybnc | 06:22 |
| Lake | all right then ! FTP for the win and then some weird user account for a later try | 06:22 |
| alarmo | Lake, if you set a user to have it's shell to something like /bin/false it won't be able to log in to the system | 06:22 |
| GH-VAIO | went im in the psybnc directory | 06:22 |
| GH-VAIO | i cant seem to make | 06:22 |
| Lake | alarmo: what would the point of having such a user ? | 06:22 |
| alarmo | althought it should be able to log into the FTP account | 06:22 |
| abramson | is there 1 for internal wifi cards/ | 06:22 |
| alarmo | set the FTP rights tightly, therefore you wouldn't have much problems from that front... | 06:22 |
| Talcite | alarmo: you mean sftp ... right? | 06:23 |
| alarmo | the guy can only log on to the FTP, and no ssh or telnet shell connection available... | 06:23 |
| Lake | alarmo: because FTP only wants to see a user account in ubuntu "database of users" I guess | 06:23 |
| gogeta | Lake bestsetup would be 1 folder with its own sub dirs | 06:23 |

| Talcite | zero_ then crack out google. The shared folder is much easier if all you want to do is transfer files | 06:26 |
| Lake | alarmo but to write, you need an app, right ? | 06:26 |
| zero_ | Talcite, i didnt install Linux thinking it was gonna be a walk in the park | 06:26 |

| misfit_246 | do I have to sudo-apt get it? | 06:35 |
| distortedstar | alarmo, yeah...i think it's best to just choose one. But I'm not a zealot ;) | 06:35 |
| gogeta | misfit_246 do you have a windows cd | 06:35 |
| gogeta | misfit_246 well i assume you do | 06:35 |

| misfit_246 | I have a restore cd yes | 06:35 |
| alarmo | distortedstar, neighter am I... I am just incapable of learning emacs... I really think it could be better than Vim if only I could learn it :P | 06:35 |
| gogeta | misfit_246 i mean a real cd | 06:36 |
| amrcidiot | can anyone help me? | 06:36 |

| distortedstar | Jordan_U, lol love the emacs curve | 06:36 |
| alarmo | Hey, I really liked both Vi and emacs learning curves.. | 06:36 |
| misfit_246 | well, it doesn't install crapware and looks just like a regular xp cd only with a different label | 06:36 |
| misfit_246 | so I guess it's considered an OS disk | 06:37 |
| Nameless_One | ok i have wireless drivers but am not sure what all to do with them | 06:37 |
| Nameless_One | would someone be able to help me | 06:37 |

| misfit_246 | I think it has gdisk, kind of like fdisk | 06:37 |
| amrcidiot | maco: still comes out with this error: "conflicting packages - not installing ncurses" | 06:37 |
| misfit_246 | probably chkdsk | 06:38 |
| gogeta | misfit_246 well go into that run chkdsk /f driveletter | 06:38 |

| jon_high9000_ | hi there. i am trying to install desklets on Ubuntu 7.10. i done research and found that gdeskets and adesklets were recommended. only thing was there were problems with the gdesklets and it wouldnt work. anybody else discover this as well? | 06:38 |
| amrcidiot | it says, "confliting packages -" | 06:38 |
| amrcidiot | that's it | 06:38 |

| GH-VAIO | n also anybody here knows how to make ur hostname being able to dns | 06:40 |
| Hamled | how would one get directly access to say an ethernet port, in a manner like one has direct access to harddrive devices on /dev? | 06:40 |
| misfit_246 | sorry I hardly use linux | 06:40 |
| distortedstar | Thanks everybody for the help...gotta go! | 06:40 |
| goldie | only use winblows for gaming under xp x64 now | 06:40 |
| Auctionedllama | I have to say, I love it how all the downloads on linux to get software and stuff always max out at your fastest internet speed you can get.. I like that :P | 06:40 |
| goldie | dont even like going online with that gaming computer :p | 06:40 |
| alarmo | jon_high9000_, Screenlets resource hogs ? hmmm I'll note that down... I don't use any of those, so I wouldn't know how to advise you, sorry | 06:40 |
| Nameless_One | so Jordan_U can you offer any help? | 06:40 |
| gogeta | misfit_246 use your cd run cksdisk /f and the drive letter of your externel | 06:40 |
| misfit_246 | no need to be rude, bro | 06:41 |
| GH-VAIO | n also anybody here knows how to make ur hostname being able to resolve | 06:41 |
| amrcidiot | alright, well, thanks for your time guys, I hope I can get this to work | 06:41 |
| misfit_246 | ok | 06:41 |
| misfit_246 | thank you | 06:41 |
| maco | jon_high9000_: really? looking at top, 13MB for one of mine...is that considered heavy? | 06:41 |
| gogeta | misfit_246 linux should then give you use of that drive | 06:41 |
| alarmo | GH-VAIO, what hostname ? machine local hostname ? | 06:41 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: buy a domain name... | 06:41 |
| GH-VAIO | yeah machine local hostname | 06:41 |
| alarmo | GH-VAIO, you want to resolve it to good old 127.0.0.1 ? | 06:41 |
| maco | jon_high9000_: i dont think its heavy considering if you can handle compiz (which you need for any widgety thing because they all take compositing) you can handle 13MB | 06:42 |
| Tronic_ | I would like to install Hardy Heron from Gentoo. How should I proceed? | 06:42 |

| Nameless_One | so is there anyone that knows how to isntall drivers? | 06:43 |
| legend2440 | Nameless_One: http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/ | 06:43 |
| maco | Tronic_: once it's released, try this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#head-85ca6ab2be8e51e7aeaeba1226031a640d7a7507 | 06:43 |
| jrib | Nameless_One: you need to be more specific | 06:43 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: ask whomever controls the NS record for gh-solutions.org to add that domain | 06:43 |
| Jordan_U | Nameless_One, I have no experience with realtek cards or with ndiswrapper, I do have experience compiling drivers from source so if nobody else can help I can try but it's probably better to wait | 06:43 |
| Nameless_One | jrib | 06:44 |
| alarmo | GH-VAIO, and that would only work if your IP is static, I think... | 06:44 |
| Hamled | Is there some sort of equivalent of /dev/eth0? (Where I can read/write data directly to the ethernet card/chip?) | 06:44 |
| Nameless_One | i have the drivers for realtek rtl8187b | 06:44 |
| Nameless_One | and they are downloaded | 06:44 |
| maco | i have the same level of exp as Jordan_U | 06:44 |
| goldie | jrib: um I need access to demonoid to get specif drivers for my wireless card, only this torrent site has them | 06:44 |
| legend2440 | Nameless_One: http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/ | 06:44 |
| Nameless_One | my real problem is i'm not able to install them | 06:44 |
| Nameless_One | i can't figure out how | 06:44 |
| jrib | goldie: please... | 06:44 |
| _Rambaldi_ | i thing what GH-VAIO mean is, he want to know how to have hostnames resolve to ip address on a local network. | 06:44 |
| Nameless_One | legend2440 i looked at that | 06:44 |
| maco | Hamled: er....it *is* possible to cat data to a device | 06:44 |
| littlepinkdot | Has OpenSSH VPN support been implemented on W32 yet? | 06:44 |
| Boohbah | alarmo: it is possible for a dhcp server to dynamically update dns records | 06:44 |
| jrib | Nameless_One: have you looked up your card on the !wifi wiki page? | 06:44 |
| maco | Hamled: if you cat a file to /dev/dsp (i think?) it'll go through your speakers | 06:45 |
| GH-VAIO | yeah thats right | 06:45 |
| Hamled | I was looking specifically for network controllers | 06:45 |
| GH-VAIO | _Rambaldi_ yeah u r right, thats wat i mean | 06:45 |
| alarmo | Boohbah, well, yes... but then you'd have to check that with the dhcp server... I thought he was trying to configure his machine for it... I Guess I misunderstood :) | 06:45 |
| Hamled | like, if there was a /dev/eth0, but they don't work like that, so is there some pseudofile I can access that will read from the network controller directly? | 06:45 |
| Boohbah | !hosts | 06:45 |
| ubot5 | Factoid hosts not found | 06:45 |
| Nameless_One | jrib i have the right drivers | 06:45 |
| _Rambaldi_ | i have open wondered how to do that, it annoyed my always typing ip address but so far no idea how to do it | 06:46 |
| jrib | !wifi | Nameless_One | 06:46 |
| ubot5 | Nameless_One: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:46 |
| maco | Hamled: that device should do it, i think | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | Tronic_, Do you know what the toram kernel parameter does and does your kernel support it? | 06:46 |
| goldie | on topic now ^_^? | 06:46 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: edit /etc/hosts | 06:46 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: you can add a stsic mapping there that only works locally | 06:46 |
| jrib | goldie: no | 06:46 |
| Hamled | maco, I thought /dev/eth0 didn't exist? (A page I read explained it that the network interfaces are created in software and thus don't have actual device files) | 06:46 |
| GH-VAIO | wast the command? | 06:46 |
| alarmo | Hmmm speaking of RTL8187... does anyone know how to differentiate between a RTL8187 B and a RTL8187 L ? | 06:47 |
| littlepinkdot | Has OpenSSH VPN support been implemented on W32 yet? | 06:47 |
| _Rambaldi_ | its a file GH-VAIO add the computer to it | 06:47 |
| amrcidiot | maco: it says that the ncurses-bin conflicts with ncurses | 06:47 |
| goldie | jrib :) sry okay | 06:47 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: sudo gedit /etc/hosts | 06:47 |
| maco | Hamled: oh. youre right. sorry | 06:47 |
| GH-VAIO | (Uptime) for vaio.gh-solutions.org (Linux 2.6.22-14-generic): 13:47:00 up 7:50, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.02 <-- i want to make that being able to dns | 06:47 |

| GH-VAIO | ±.:[Í]:.± do it | 06:47 |
| _Rambaldi_ | !gksu | Boohbah | 06:47 |
| ubot5 | Boohbah: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 06:47 |
| gogeta | littlepinkdot i dunno ask in windows | 06:47 |
| maco | amrcidiot: oh...ok. i dont know... | 06:47 |
| GH-VAIO | sudo gedit /etc/hosts <- so this is the command? | 06:47 |
| === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag | ||
| maco | GH-VAIO: gksudo | 06:48 |
| Tronic_ | maco: Thanks :) | 06:48 |
| Boohbah | gksudo gedit /etc/hosts | 06:48 |
| maco | GH-VAIO: gksudo is for graphical apps | 06:48 |
| Hamled | I'm not sure why I'm trying so hard to figure this out, someone just wanted to know how to do cat /dev/eth0 > /dev/dsp for humorous purposes | 06:48 |
| maco | haha to make it sound like dialup? | 06:48 |
| Boohbah | Hamled: /dev/mem is a good one too | 06:48 |
| amrcidiot | anybody know | 06:48 |
| Tronic_ | Jordan_U: Never heard of it, but sounds like a initrd parameter rather than something used by the kernel itself. | 06:48 |
| === eau is now known as nixeagle | ||
| _Rambaldi_ | GH-VAIO, have you got it working? | 06:48 |
| GH-VAIO | working on it | 06:48 |
| amrcidiot | ncurses-bin conflicts with ncurses, so ncurses cannot be installed.... | 06:48 |
| Boohbah | amrcidiot: did you uninstall ncurses-bin? | 06:48 |
| gogeta | Hamled lol | 06:48 |
| Tronic_ | Jordan_U: I don't use any initrd, so... | 06:48 |
| gogeta | Hamled i wanna try that | 06:49 |
| jon_high9000_ | <maco> I have an NVidia GForce graphics card. if i try to place it at top setting it tends to slow down. | 06:49 |
| GH-VAIO | ghs@vaio:~$ sudo gedit /etc/hosts | 06:49 |

| Hamled | I don't know what the real world linux equivalent of /dev/eth0 is :( | 06:49 |
| Flannel | GH-VAIO: Are you using Kubuntu? | 06:49 |
| GH-VAIO | yeap | 06:49 |
| amrcidiot | Boohbah: I can't.... well I can, but so many other packages will be removed such as Firefox and about 100 others than I don't want gone.... :( | 06:49 |
| Flannel | GH-VAIO: kdesu kate /etc/hosts | 06:49 |
| amrcidiot | I'm so lost | 06:49 |
| maco | jon_high9000_: and so i avoid anything that uses closed source drivers because i trust the open ones to be of higher quality. all intel for me | 06:49 |
| jon_high9000_ | <maco> fast setting that is... | 06:49 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: kdesudo kate /etc/hosts | 06:49 |
| Hamled | kde has its own sudo? | 06:50 |
| Tronic_ | maco: No. I have all the drivers that are needed for booting built into the kernel. Doing without initrd allows faster booting. | 06:50 |
| Boohbah | Hamled: sure does | 06:50 |
| Flannel | Hamled: Just like gnome does | 06:50 |
| maco | Tronic_: crazy | 06:50 |
| gogeta | Hamled acully it wouldent sound like dialup the sine wavs are a mutch higher finquecy you probly would hear mutch | 06:50 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| _Rambaldi_ | GH-VAIO, edit a file called hots in etc, easy is sudo nano /etc/hosts | 06:50 |
| gogeta | wouldent | 06:50 |
| Hamled | gogeta, yeah | 06:50 |
| GH-VAIO | ghs@vaio:~$ kdesu kate /etc/hosts | 06:50 |
| GH-VAIO | kdesu: cannot connect to X server | 06:50 |
| Hamled | useful for debugging though | 06:50 |
| Hamled | Flannel, good point. Although since this is on the commandline, couldn't you use regular sudo for either kde or gnome? | 06:50 |
| GH-VAIO | can i use pico instead of nano? | 06:50 |
| _Rambaldi_ | offcourse any editor you have | 06:51 |
| Boohbah | Hamled: you could | 06:51 |
| Flannel | GH-VAIO: pico doesn't exist in Ubuntu, its nano. | 06:51 |
| _Rambaldi_ | maybe he likes pico | 06:51 |
| amrcidiot | Boohbah: I can't.... well I can, but so many other packages will be removed such as Firefox and about 100 others than I don't want gone.... :( | 06:51 |
| GH-VAIO | ermm, i able to ue pico | 06:51 |
| GH-VAIO | in mind | 06:51 |
| GH-VAIO | thats strange | 06:51 |
| GH-VAIO | lolz | 06:51 |
| FloodBot1 | GH-VAIO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:51 |
| jrib | GH-VAIO: pico is a symlink to nano... | 06:51 |
| Flannel | GH-VAIO: No, pico just runs nano. | 06:51 |
| Hamled | ok, was just wondering about the use of kdesudo, I assumed that like gnome's sudo variant, it was mainly for elevating priveleges within a GUI environment | 06:51 |
| Flannel | Hamled: Its not an invocation specific thing, its a program thing. kdesu/gksu set up the environment better for graphical apps than sudo itself does. | 06:52 |

| GH-VAIO | okie guys im in | 06:52 |
| alarmo | piping /dev/random to /dev/dsp gives some smooth noise... | 06:52 |
| GH-VAIO | so wat do i need to edit? | 06:52 |
| gogeta | Hamled acully i have heard it befor in rl it sounds like dailing a phone at 1,000x speed unlike a dialup that sounds like static and sine sounds | 06:52 |
| Boohbah | Hamled: actually, it seems that just using sudo will not take into account the privileges of some files | 06:52 |
| Hamled | Flannel, like having the password dialog pop open and such | 06:52 |
| Flannel | Hamled: no, thats completely superficial | 06:52 |
| Hamled | ah | 06:52 |
| _Rambaldi_ | add the ip and hostname to the list GH-VAIO | 06:52 |
| On3 | on ubuntu-server how would i set it up so it forwards any traffic from one interface to another (so pretty much ubuntu-server) is just acting as a network bridge? | 06:52 |
| Hamled | that is interesting | 06:52 |
| GH-VAIO | _Rambaldi_ the ip n hostname | 06:52 |
| GH-VAIO | its aready there | 06:53 |

| Jordan_U | Tronic_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux | 06:54 |
| GH-VAIO | ±.:[Í]:.± want vaio.gh-solutions.org to be able to dns | 06:54 |
| Olgem | wolfwalker, you could use their command-line backends? | 06:54 |
| GH-VAIO | ±.:[Ñ]؆:.± gh-solutions.org | 06:54 |
| GH-VAIO | i want vaio.gh-solutions.org to be able to dns | 06:55 |
| wolfwalker | Olgem this computer is going to a person who doesn't even use GUI very well. | 06:55 |
| GH-VAIO | not gh-solutions.org | 06:55 |
| Jordan_U | GH-VAIO, Please stick to lower ascii ;) | 06:55 |
| Hamled | that is a very odd script | 06:55 |
| wolfwalker | I dare not give him command-lines. | 06:55 |
| Olgem | wolfwalker, is it slow in response time, or to actually burn the cd. I dont think the latter can be helped. | 06:55 |
| Boohbah | GH-VAIO: if you want other computers to query vaio for name resolution you'll have to install a real dns server | 06:55 |
| hischild | I've got a fresh install of gutsy and i've just installed all the updates and enabled restricted drivers. Whenever i try to start firefox i get Bus error (core dumped) and it doesn't start. | 06:55 |
| wolfwalker | Slow to translate the ogg to cd audio | 06:56 |
| _Rambaldi_ | does vaio.gh-solutions.org have a static ip? GH-VAIO | 06:56 |
| wolfwalker | Once it gets the buffer filled it flies. | 06:56 |
| GH-VAIO | nope | 06:56 |
| GH-VAIO | it does | 06:56 |
| gogeta | wolfwalker buy a faster pc ;-) | 06:56 |
| Boohbah | wolfwalker: ogg more complex than mp3 | 06:56 |
| wolfwalker | How do you burn mp3? k3b won't read it, it says. | 06:56 |
| wolfwalker | Or was that gnomebaker wouldn't read it........ | 06:56 |
| _Rambaldi_ | then add the host and that ip to the stop part of the hosts file GH-VAIO | 06:56 |
| Olgem | wolfwalker, transcoding between media codecs can be slow | 06:56 |
| Boohbah | wolfwalker: do you have lame installed? | 06:56 |

| alarmo | gogeta, actually first thing I tried was /dev/random... but it just looks like I don't generate enough entropy to make any sound... | 07:00 |
| hischild | alarmo, try /dev/urandom which doesn't need entropy | 07:00 |
| gogeta | /dev/modem | 07:00 |
| Olgem | lavarock, I hear xchat is the most popular so its bound to have some extensions/scripts to do it if not natively | 07:00 |
| gogeta | and dialup | 07:00 |
| gogeta | lol | 07:00 |
| alarmo | hischild, I did it.... but it only generates a white noise | 07:00 |
| lavarock | Olgem, ok i am using xchat, will try it out some more then:-) | 07:00 |
| alarmo | it is odd to redirect /dev/psaux to sound too... | 07:01 |
| Olgem | Don't just try it out, google for some scripts that can do fserv/xdcc, lavarock | 07:01 |
| alarmo | it buffers a lot of mouse movements.. then discharge them all in a loud beep! | 07:01 |
| american | i just started katapult so it's running in the background, but i didn't catch the button combo to open it up | 07:01 |

| american | anyone know what it is? | 07:01 |

| lavarock | but it kinda sucks sometimes | 07:15 |
| wolfwalker | Daisuke_Ido, I'd say open it in OpenOffice and save it as some other type of file......... | 07:15 |
| hischild | After i've installed all the updates and enabled restricted drivers, some programs appear to crash out of the blue. A reinstall fixes it, but to reinstall all the programs seems rather annoying. | 07:15 |

| Daisuke_Ido | not another format. | 07:15 |
| lavarock | seems xchat support them fine | 07:15 |
| wolfwalker | It won't save as .txt? | 07:15 |
| wolfwalker | My OpenOffice will save as .txt | 07:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's already .txt | 07:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i need to re-wrap the file | 07:16 |

| Auctionedllama | legend2440: ok swcheet | 07:58 |
| legend2440 | pastebin not loading? | 07:59 |
| legend2440 | in firefox? | 07:59 |
| Drunk | Seriously no body knows how to run Eclipse? | 07:59 |
| RenaKunisaki | ok so | 07:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Drunk, depends, how did you install it? | 07:59 |
| RenaKunisaki | I installed a GeForce 6200 AGP | 07:59 |
| Drunk | It dosent really install, you just download it, load up the server and run the client | 07:59 |
| Drunk | http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/ee.php | 08:00 |
| RenaKunisaki | it booted up in "low graphics mode" with the Vesa driver | 08:00 |
| RenaKunisaki | I selected the Nvidia driver and rebooted | 08:00 |
| Auctionedllama | legend4220: wait, where is it? | 08:00 |
| arvind_khadri | Drunk, use sudo apt-get install eclipse | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | arvind_khadri, that's what i thought too | 08:00 |
| RenaKunisaki | now it boots up to a screen full of garbage | 08:00 |
| Drunk | Its a windows MMO creator tho :( | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | this is a completely different eclipse | 08:00 |
| arvind_khadri | !enter | RenaKunisaki | 08:00 |
| ubot5 | RenaKunisaki: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:00 |
| RenaKunisaki | and if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 I get a different screen full of garbage | 08:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Drunk, *AT BEST* you'll be able to run it with wine | 08:01 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: you have to enable it wait one let me check its been a while since i enabled that | 08:01 |
| Auctionedllama | kk | 08:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Daisuke_Ido, AFAIK eclipse is java IDE or something right?? | 08:01 |
| Drunk | I get errors for some reason, says something about not being able to load the server and something about active X | 08:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's always bugged me about compiles... no eta on completion | 08:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | at least it's just amarok | 08:02 |
| Drunk | ? | 08:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and not, say, all of kde | 08:02 |
| RenaKunisaki | so does the nvidia driver not work? | 08:02 |
| samorpheus | how i install nvidia graphics card driver.. | 08:02 |
| samorpheus | i am newbie usr :( | 08:02 |
| Firestorm | Hey ya | 08:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Drunk, then you may have problems | 08:03 |
| buzzsaw | i installed apache with LAMP but i am not quite sure were the config files are | 08:03 |
| arvind_khadri | samorpheus, go to System->Administration->Restricted drivers | 08:03 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: ok in synaptic go to settings>preferences>General Tab then check box that says show package properties in main window | 08:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | activex is a creation that should never have existed and that i cannot believe is still supported | 08:03 |
| Drunk | Hmm how could I fix these | 08:03 |
| Firestorm | I'm New Here? any warm Welcome? | 08:03 |
| Drunk | problems*? | 08:03 |
| arvind_khadri | Drunk, eclispe is a java IDE right?? | 08:03 |
| Drunk | Im not really sure, but Im bet so | 08:03 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: k thanks mate | 08:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | arvind_khadri, not in this case, it's a windows MMO scripting engine | 08:03 |
| Firestorm | Anyone here? | 08:04 |
| arvind_khadri | Daisuke_Ido, hmm let me google | 08:04 |
| zero_ | hey, on my other laptop, i have sound, but the media players | 08:04 |

| samorpheus | but is status name : not in use ? | 08:04 |
| samorpheus | arvind_khadri | 08:04 |
| arvind_khadri | Daisuke_Ido, :) i wanted to know whats mmo | 08:04 |
| Firestorm | Thx Arvind | 08:05 |
| RenaKunisaki | let's try this again | 08:05 |
| luderacer | hi all | 08:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Auctionedllama, NO. you never have to log in as root... that's just... *shudders* | 08:05 |
| arvind_khadri | samorpheus, check it to put it in use | 08:05 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: why? | 08:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | arvind_khadri, ahh... massively multiplayer online (rpg) | 08:05 |
| Auctionedllama | LOL a file is locked to root | 08:05 |
| Auctionedllama | I have to be root to edit it | 08:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sudo | 08:05 |
| arvind_khadri | Daisuke_Ido, oh ok | 08:05 |
| Firestorm | Hey My Microfone Dosent work does anyone know what to do please, tell me | 08:05 |
| luderacer | use sudo Auctionedllama | 08:05 |
| Auctionedllama | LOL my bad I'm an idiot | 08:06 |
| Auctionedllama | ignore me | 08:06 |
| Flannel | Auctionedllama: You don't need to be root, you can use sudo. And if its still locked, that means its most likely mounted read only. | 08:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !root | Auctionedllama | 08:06 |
| ubot5 | Auctionedllama: 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 | 08:06 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: gksudo gedit | 08:06 |
| Auctionedllama | lol I know my root password | 08:06 |
| Auctionedllama | I changed it xD | 08:06 |
| RenaKunisaki | I installed a GeForce 6200 and it couldn't find the driver so I manually selected the nv driver and rebooted and now it just shows a bunch of garbage on the screen even in the terminal | 08:06 |
| Drunk | Would somebody that is skilled with ubuntu like to download Eclipse [http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/ee.php] and see how to get it to work? | 08:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if it uses activex, you probably will not be able to get it to work | 08:06 |
| RenaKunisaki | I booted it in recovery mode and did dpkg-reconfigure xorg which doesn't seem to have done anything | 08:06 |

| Drunk | Well, that sucks, what happens if I run the server on my windows desktop and run the client on here? | 08:07 |
| chains | is there a way i can change the colors an app uses? | 08:07 |
| evilcry1 | Hi | 08:07 |

| ubot5 | Factoid graphics not found | 08:08 |
| chains | like, with pidgin, the when i change ubuntus theme colors, it only changed the background of apps. I want to change the fonts to. | 08:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Drunk, still activex | 08:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | chains, then you have to actually change the fonts in pidgin | 08:09 |
| arvind_khadri | chains, you mean the fonts used by the apps | 08:09 |
| Drunk | Hmm, then what about the SoMx client not updating? I updated it on my windows comp and then sent it to myself, downloaded it on here and it still requirs an update. | 08:09 |
| arvind_khadri | chains, you need to set the fonts used by every app separately | 08:09 |
| Drunk | It just hangs there forever when I try to update it as well... | 08:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i want to map every font used on my system to comic sans | 08:09 |
| RenaKunisaki | ew | 08:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Drunk, answer was already given | 08:10 |
| chains | well, i changed the apps font face with the appearance manager | 08:10 |
| Drunk | Its a different game, Daisuke_Ido | 08:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ahh | 08:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | so what's SoMx? | 08:10 |
| Drunk | It dosent require Active X | 08:10 |
| Drunk | Secrets of Mirage X, a simple 2d MMORPG | 08:10 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, which ubuntu??? | 08:10 |
| shadeofgrey | i know this is a stupid place to be asking but is there a photoshop channel on this network? | 08:11 |
| chains | so if pidgins interface doesnt give the option to change the font colors, im out of luck? | 08:11 |
| shadeofgrey | the channel liust womnt load | 08:11 |

| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, sounds like an onboard video problem? I don't have onboard video | 08:34 |
| Fa | hi | 08:34 |
| hischild | hello | 08:34 |
| Firestorm | Bazhang, I am not total stupid :P | 08:34 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, the paste means that you can run gtk as you are not in X | 08:34 |
| Firestorm | Just new to ubuntu :D | 08:35 |
| |g| | I just wanted to download Ubuntu8. There seems to be no checksum on the page. How do you verify the iso hasnt been tinkered with, when downloading from a mirror? | 08:35 |
| Fa | cool | 08:35 |
| sjovan | Firestorm: good for you :) | 08:35 |
| bazhang | Firestorm: never my implication | 08:35 |
| Fa | i'm gonna install kde with ubuntu | 08:35 |
| Oprtz | i want to install ubuntu on my external USB HDD, can i do that? Beside i am using a notebook, cant unplug HDD cables when instaling ubuntu, any suggestion? | 08:35 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, just try that once | 08:35 |
| shadeofgrey | how long till 8 hits? | 08:35 |
| === co_macho is now known as firimel | ||
| bazhang | Fa: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 08:35 |
| Fa | 6 days | 08:35 |
| Fa | yeah bazbang | 08:35 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I'll try it but the terminal is unreadable so I can't really tell if it works | 08:36 |
| Fa | i'm just waiting for 8 to come out of beta | 08:36 |
| RenaKunisaki | it's only readable in recovery mode | 08:36 |
| bazhang | Oprtz: you have a cd drive? | 08:36 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, do that in recovery mode only | 08:36 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: yes i do | 08:36 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: can you gksudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz and check lines 30-35? | 08:37 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, try which, the displayconfig? | 08:37 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, no modprobe one | 08:37 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: just found that same topic I bet, already editing them | 08:37 |
| arvind_khadri | legend2440, thats gksu | 08:37 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: ok | 08:37 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: to test.. how do I change the cube thing? | 08:38 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, also try to do the gtk thing...there might be refresh rate probs | 08:39 |
| fredmv | Possibly a newb question, but, is there a way via apt-get/synaptic that I can update to Hardy from Gutsy? | 08:39 |
| arvind_khadri | fredmv, update-manager -d | 08:39 |
| bazhang | fredmv: sure | 08:39 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: not sure i turned off compiz a while back | 08:39 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey guys how do I move the desktop cube around? | 08:39 |
| Auctionedllama | ?? | 08:40 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: ctrl or shift + left right arrows? | 08:40 |
| fredmv | thanks arvind_khadri | 08:40 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, install compizconfig-settings-manager and them middle mouse drag on the background | 08:40 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: yes i have DVD writer in my laptop... | 08:40 |
| arvind_khadri | fredmv, :) welcome | 08:40 |
| Auctionedllama | WOW | 08:40 |
| Auctionedllama | ok.. guys.. after I installed XGL server it makes stuff really choppy | 08:41 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: its working? | 08:41 |
| Auctionedllama | Is there any way to disable this but still have compiz run | 08:41 |
| Auctionedllama | and yes legend after 5 days, it runs, thanks to you a few other people | 08:41 |
| Auctionedllama | Phew | 08:41 |
| bazhang | Oprtz: well then download the iso, burn to cd and boot up in livecd then install--be sure to choose the correct drive though | 08:41 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, in ccsm you can disable stuff to make it lighter | 08:41 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: what? I enabled xglserver or w/e it is and its made stuff really choppy | 08:41 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: maybe you dont really need xserver-xgl you installed earlier | 08:42 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, because it enabled compiz now. | 08:42 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: is there a way inthe setup (bios) to disable internal HDD, i dont want to take risk? | 08:42 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: no even before that | 08:42 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: trust me, my card can handle compiz, it has 512 ram | 08:42 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, then get ccsm, run it, and disable some things. | 08:42 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: where can I get that? | 08:43 |
| Auctionedllama | add/remove? | 08:43 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, and an 8600 GT has some trouble running compiz full open | 08:43 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:43 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, did the modprobe help?? | 08:43 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: ya, I have it | 08:43 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: type ccsm in terminal you probably already have it | 08:43 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, no | 08:43 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: just the thing, before compiz worked, the XGL made everything like.. awful | 08:43 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: whenever I scroll with the mouse in firefox, everything is choppy | 08:44 |
| bazhang | not sure about that Oprtz; always just chose the correct drive myself | 08:44 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, hmm try the refresh rates from booting with X | 08:44 |
| hinogi | you don't need xgl for compiz | 08:44 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, because compiz is a lot heavier then metacity. You don't happen to run xen do you? | 08:44 |
| hischild | hinogi, ati cards do | 08:44 |
| hinogi | no they dont | 08:44 |
| hinogi | not anymore | 08:44 |

| hischild | hinogi, then go to #ubuntu+1 and help there. There's a difference with Gutsy. | 08:45 |
| kabads | using u 8.04, is there a reason why users-admin won't let me add groups or users (buttons are blanked out)? I've tried gksudo users-admin with the same effect. | 08:45 |

| Auctionedllama | hischild: I know its not supposed to be like that | 08:46 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: i bet it started getting choppy after you installed xserver-xgl. you may not need that | 08:46 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: correct | 08:46 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: ok lemme try to uninstall | 08:46 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: and compiz no longer works.. | 08:46 |

| Oprtz | arvind_khadri: do u know why the picture quality is so poor? due to lack of gstramer? | 08:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:52 |
| arvind_khadri | Oprtz, maybe not sure.... | 08:52 |

| soumyadeep | can any body tell me is it possible to install a .tar package in ubuntu as i cant find the .deb | 08:53 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I think not, I was getting "Package nvidia-glx is not available" and "has no installation candidate" when I did apt-get | 08:53 |
| gogeta | soumyadeep bad idea | 08:53 |
| bazhang | soumyadeep: what package | 08:53 |
| Quiz_Master | souYes possible | 08:53 |
| bentob0x | why are the user fonts installed on the system different than the admin fonts | 08:53 |
| Quiz_Master | soumyadeep: yes possible..U need to compile from source | 08:53 |
| gogeta | soumyadeep better oof just compling the source and using checkinstall to make that deb at least then it will br proper to the distro | 08:53 |

| Oprtz | arvind_khadri: thanks dear | 08:54 |
| Comrade-Sergei | anyone know a good transparency app, something like glass2k in windows | 08:54 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, give me a minute to copy it | 08:54 |
| soumyadeep | i am looking for quiz master pls tell me the process | 08:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Oprtz, thats ok but i think you need to install lots of other things too if you have removed them | 08:54 |
| arvind_khadri | soumyadeep, which package??? | 08:55 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, time seems to be running when am here ;) | 08:55 |
| Quiz_Master | soumyadeep: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html | 08:55 |
| soumyadeep | flash player package for mozilla | 08:55 |
| Quiz_Master | Refer to that | 08:55 |
| gogeta | soumyadeep you use alien but dont cry if you blow up ubuntu | 08:55 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: ;] | 08:55 |
| soumyadeep | thx | 08:55 |
| arvind_khadri | soumyadeep, there are flash plugins avaliable | 08:55 |
| Quiz_Master | yes | 08:55 |
| bazhang | gogeta no need for rpms ever, especially that | 08:56 |
| gogeta | :) | 08:56 |
| arvind_khadri | soumyadeep, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:56 |
| hischild | gogeta, may i ask why you'd suggest something that basically won't work? | 08:56 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63685/ | 08:56 |
| bazhang | gogeta that is just plain bad advice; refrain from it in the future please | 08:57 |
| gogeta | lol | 08:57 |
| gogeta | just told him how | 08:57 |
| bazhang | !coc > gogeta | 08:57 |
| Auctionedllama | hi all | 08:57 |
| Auctionedllama | This is llama on a different computer | 08:58 |
| nael | What is Hardy like, is it a big improvement? | 08:58 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, i think you dont have the drivers | 08:58 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, have a look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63685/ please | 08:58 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey uh, you guys told me to disable xserver-xgl, so I did, and I can't get into ubuntu, its clashing with compiz.. how can I install the xserver from recovery mode? | 08:59 |
| Auctionedllama | xserver_xgl that is | 08:59 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, sudo aptitude xserver-xgl | 08:59 |
| hischild | * | 08:59 |
| Auctionedllama | thanks his | 08:59 |
| hischild | sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl | 08:59 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 08:59 |
| Auctionedllama | ok, installing | 09:00 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, the drivers for the card aint present right?? | 09:00 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: you need to enable the restricted driver; currently that is the 'nv' only | 09:00 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, hmm i thought the drivers aint installed | 09:00 |
| Auctionedllama | Man, it seems as soon as I activate xserver-xgl, even if compiz isn't enable I lose massive performance.. even If I'm not running compiz.. is there any way around this? | 09:00 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, i could say something like i told you so ... but please, would you mind pastebinning you xorg? sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 09:00 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: possibly not; check synaptic package manager and see if they are | 09:01 |
| gogeta | Auctionedllama maynot be a compiz issue | 09:01 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, boot into the gnome session | 09:01 |
| Auctionedllama | ok.. one sec mate | 09:01 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: hang on one sec mate, gotta reboot | 09:01 |
| gogeta | Auctionedllama a confliting hostname will slow x to a crawl | 09:01 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, ok this is for someone else will check out and catch you up | 09:01 |
| Auctionedllama | gogeta: uhm what? | 09:01 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, take your time. | 09:01 |
| Auctionedllama | gogeta: a conflicting hostname? you mean on the same network? | 09:02 |
| gogeta | Auctionedllama yep | 09:02 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, reboot, i'll explain as soon as you get back. | 09:02 |
| Auctionedllama | gogeta: well its not so xD | 09:02 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: ok back in matey | 09:02 |
| RenaKunisaki | um, crap | 09:02 |
| gogeta | :-( | 09:02 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, there's another file we need to check that. | 09:02 |
| RenaKunisaki | I just realized I'm in #ubuntu when I should be in #xubuntu >_< | 09:02 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, did you boot in | 09:02 |
| Auctionedllama | ok now what his | 09:02 |
| Auctionedllama | im in | 09:02 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I'm at the login screen but I can't see it, still corrupt garbage | 09:03 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, ok. Pastebin both your /etc/hosts and xorg.conf. sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit && cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit | 09:03 |
| Auctionedllama | also, what are the controls to flip the compiz cube? I can't do it with the middle mose | 09:03 |
| Auctionedllama | is that all one command? | 09:03 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, type your username and password | 09:03 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, yup | 09:03 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I did | 09:03 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, copy from the sudo aptitude till the very end | 09:03 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, so can you see the taskbar atleast?? | 09:04 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, nope, just a blue screen with a lot of red and black dots in diagonal lines | 09:04 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, second screen says out of range | 09:04 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, you need to enable your drivers and check for the refresh rate | 09:05 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, the menu on the monitor says 1680x1050 60hz, don't know how to enable the drivers when I can't see | 09:05 |
| === hanzz__ is now known as HanzZ | ||
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, the first time it booted it loaded the vesa driver and worked, and it showed the "restricted drivers manager" and I enabled the NVidia driver there and rebooted, that's when it stopped working | 09:06 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, ohh ok | 09:07 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, somehow just disable it | 09:07 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I'll try changing the driver back in xorg.conf | 09:08 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey man, can you repost that long command? | 09:08 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit && cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit | 09:08 |
| kindofabuzz | if you have wireless don't "upgrade" to Hardy. i tried for 5 hours to get it working. no dice =( | 09:08 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, why dont you jus remove the card and boot back in ,jus a suggestion it may work | 09:08 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey, and what is the command for controlling the cube? the middle mouse button isn't working | 09:08 |
| bazhang | want to talk about it in #ubuntu+1 ? | 09:09 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, ctrl alt left and right | 09:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ctrl+alt+click and drag | 09:09 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, remove the drivers then and again put the card back,this time dont enable the restricted drivers | 09:09 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, if I removed the card I'd have nothing to plug the monitor into, there's no onboard video | 09:09 |
| bazhang | kindofabuzz: sorry that was meant for you | 09:09 |
| Auctionedllama | Guys, I thought this was supposed to form a cube.. not a flat panel.. but anyways his child that command is done | 09:10 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, hmm not even VGA | 09:10 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, it should give you 2 links. Can give you give those? | 09:10 |

| kindofabuzz | bazhang, no help there, was in there for like 3 hours and maybe 3 people talked. not looking for help anymore, sticking with gutsy | 09:11 |
| Auctionedllama | Guys, on the vids I have seen, the cube is an actual cube, with 4 desktops.. can I ge tthat? | 09:11 |
| william | does anyone know a good chat site for linux/kubuntu newbies??? | 09:11 |
| bazhang | kindofabuzz: ah okay; which card | 09:11 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, nope; I just changed the "nv" to "vesa" in xorg.conf and will see if that helps | 09:11 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, yes you can. Type ccsm and then in the top option look for desktop size. Set it at 4. | 09:11 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, yeah fine | 09:11 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, is your pc called ubuntu? | 09:11 |
| kindofabuzz | linksys (broadcom) | 09:11 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: yes.. | 09:11 |
| kindofabuzz | the most common one that don't work | 09:12 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, ok that's good then. | 09:12 |
| william | is anyone else here new to ubuntu??? | 09:12 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, well i too had been in the same situation but wasnt this worse though ;) | 09:12 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, are there any other pc's on the network that run ubuntu? | 09:12 |
| bazhang | william: perhaps ##linux | 09:12 |
| Auctionedllama | hischild: I had formatted my drive so many times, I got tired of renaming it, so left it alone.. and if I had a X1650 pro (512 ram) how many fps should I be getting for the cube switcheroo? | 09:12 |
| Auctionedllama | and no | 09:12 |
| william | how do i find ##linux? | 09:12 |
| bazhang | william click the link | 09:12 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, is there maybe a way I can enable a VNC server and control it from another machine? | 09:12 |
| ce_ajaaaaaaa | jhgujti | 09:13 |
| william | nice, thanks | 09:13 |
| RenaKunisaki | william, /join ##linux | 09:13 |
| RenaKunisaki | or that | 09:13 |
| bazhang | ce_ajaaaaaaa: english please | 09:13 |
| gearfox | hello are there alternatives to using mesa drivers? a game I play doesn't work well with them | 09:13 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, i understand. You should be having quite a nice fps. You can check your fps by enabling the benchmark in ccsm and then starting it with the hotkey (check it under the appropriate tab) | 09:13 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, no idea about netwroking sorry | 09:13 |
| RenaKunisaki | tsk, it's checking my 215GB partition, this is going to take forever >_< | 09:14 |
| RenaKunisaki | but I can see the text, that's a good sign | 09:14 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, so the vesa thing worked?? | 09:14 |
| Auctionedllama | I don't see benchmark matey | 09:14 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, not sure yet | 09:14 |
| bazhang | off to install wubi back in a bit ;] | 09:15 |
| RenaKunisaki | it wants to check the filesystem before booting | 09:15 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, when you start up ccsm, on the main screen of it where you can enable/disable all the plugins etc, one of them should be a benchmark looking thing. | 09:15 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, hmm am holding on | 09:15 |
| Auctionedllama | whats its called/ | 09:15 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, i'm not sure | 09:15 |
| RenaKunisaki | this could take hours, is there a way to abort the filesystem check? | 09:15 |
| RenaKunisaki | oh wait it sped up | 09:15 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, no | 09:16 |
| Auctionedllama | found it | 09:16 |
| RenaKunisaki | if it doesn't slow down again it should only be a minute | 09:16 |
| Auctionedllama | ok I can't find the benchmark though | 09:16 |
| Auctionedllama | like on the sreen | 09:17 |
| Auctionedllama | I enabled it.. | 09:17 |
| hischild | Auctionedllama, if you click it to see the options, go to the shortcuts. There's a hotkey to enable it. | 09:17 |
| broonsparrow | hi - i've just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop, when I go to add prgrammes it keeps saysing list of applications not available. i click refresh, it downloads then same thing....any ideas? | 09:17 |
| arvind_khadri | broonsparrow, enable the repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:18 |
| gearfox | also I am using an nvidia card | 09:18 |
| kindofabuzz | that's so stupid they're not enabled by default in Gutsy | 09:18 |
| arvind_khadri | kindofabuzz, whats not enabled??? | 09:18 |
| kindofabuzz | the repos people need to download stuff, updates aren't even enabled by default | 09:19 |
| Auctionedllama | Ya.. whenever I click actions all my textures get screwed up and I can't read anything | 09:19 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, over?? | 09:19 |
| arvind_khadri | kindofabuzz, well the updates come in when you enable the repos | 09:19 |
| arvind_khadri | broonsparrow, enable the repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:19 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, bunch of filesystem errors on this disk that it wants to fix >_< | 09:19 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, hmm must be the inode clusters | 09:20 |
| Auctionedllama | Ok.. this is Gay.. can someone check the hotkey to activate the benchmark for me/ | 09:20 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, it's EXT2, I had copied a bunch of files to it in Windows using a supposedly stable driver, apparently that didn't work | 09:21 |
| RenaKunisaki | but I can just format it and re-copy them | 09:21 |
| Auctionedllama | Hey.. can someone tell me the hotkey for the compiz benchmark? I can't access it to see | 09:21 |
| RenaKunisaki | except fsck has already decided to fix it | 09:21 |
| broonsparrow | cheers. i'll try that | 09:21 |
| cvd-pr | can i run in virtual box an already windowsxp partition? | 09:21 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, you mean the ubuntu drive?? | 09:22 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, the /home partition | 09:22 |
| arvind_khadri | cvd-pr, you mean VMware?? | 09:22 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, ohh ok... | 09:22 |
| cvd-pr | virtualbox | 09:22 |
| motoct | hi, who can i ask a question about vlc and sound device drivers | 09:23 |
| gregory | !ask | motoct | 09:23 |
| ubotu | motoct: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 09:23 |
| arvind_khadri | cvd-pr, i dont think you can | 09:23 |
| broonsparrow | one other thing the laptop display only works when i have a video cable plugged into the video output - any ideas why? it works fine running on live CD just not when I've installed onto hdd | 09:23 |
| RenaKunisaki | looks like a bunch of Japanese filenames got corrupted in the copy | 09:24 |
| arvind_khadri | broonsparrow, reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:24 |
| gregory | cvd-pr: you may have heard of the command "dd". but i think in the end it would not work, because winxp detects that the hardware from virtualbox is not the same as the original install. licence problems could arise then | 09:24 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, hmm | 09:24 |
| soroush | Hi, when I insert a cd/dvd , it was not automatically mounted even if I clicked on the recognised CD/DVD icon, so I tried changing /etc/sudoers and changed it as you can see it here, now it can be mounted via terminal using sudo mount /dev/cdrom but it can't be mounted in Gnome either. I had similar problems with running programs like users-admin via gui and I saw an error saying::: | 09:25 |
| RenaKunisaki | ok, it's done, rebooting | 09:25 |
| arvind_khadri | gregory, isnt virtual box something like VMware | 09:25 |
| soroush | XAutorization file couldn't be copied | 09:25 |
| legend2440 | Auctionedllama: super(windows key)+F12 if you have Benchmarks clicked | 09:25 |
| motoct | i have a usb radio device. when plugged in, you get /dev/dsp1. i played it in VLC (by selecting "audio device name"). i closed vlc and when i reopened it, it doesn't play the device anymore. i do hear static from the speakers. anyone has any idea what happened? | 09:25 |
| RenaKunisaki | probably that driver doesn't work with Unicode properly | 09:25 |
| soroush | I could solve the last problem by running XServer scripts mode in user login | 09:25 |
| soroush | but the first problem has still remained | 09:25 |
| soroush | my config files: | 09:25 |
| soroush | http://nopaste.com/p/aukjvVDnw | 09:25 |
| soroush | I think it is a problem with my XServer or Gnome | 09:25 |
| soroush | because everything goes well in terminal | 09:25 |
| Auctionedllama | legend2440: that didn;t work D: | 09:26 |
| gregory | arvind_khadri: yes, wikipedia: virtualbox | 09:26 |
| Auctionedllama | wow it just made everything REALLY laggy | 09:26 |
| arvind_khadri | gregory AFAIK you cant VMware a already installed XP | 09:26 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, is it working now?? | 09:26 |
| Auctionedllama | woa | 09:26 |
| Auctionedllama | Everything is so laggy all of a sudden | 09:26 |
| Auctionedllama | !!!!! | 09:26 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, yes, it's up again | 09:27 |
| xircx | hi i just installed my gforce 7900 gs and now my sound dont work | 09:27 |
| RenaKunisaki | back to the vesa driver and I can see things | 09:27 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 09:27 |
| ubotu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:28 |

| RenaKunisaki | the image scrolls as if it's too big for the screen | 09:37 |

| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, hey did you do a sudo apt-get update after enabling the repos??? | 09:48 |
| DOOM_NX | good morning :) | 09:48 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: when I try to run it through menu it is run but when I try to install packages it says me 11 resources not available | 09:48 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I think so, I'll try again | 09:48 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: I'm in run XServer scripts mode | 09:49 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, update is very imp | 09:49 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: my gnome has more problems too | 09:49 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, what command?? | 09:49 |
| RenaKunisaki | arvind_khadri, I guess I didn't, apt-get is working now | 09:50 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: I try to run synaptic | 09:50 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: moreover when I insert a cd/dvd , it was not automatically mounted even if I clicked on the recognised CD/DVD icon, so I tried changing /etc/sudoers and changed it as you can see it here, now it can be mounted via terminal using sudo mount /dev/cdrom but it can't be mounted in Gnome either. I had similar problems with running programs like users-admin via gui and I saw an error saying | 09:50 |
| soroush | XAutorization file couldn't be copied | 09:50 |
| soroush | I could solve the last problem by running XServer scripts mode in user login | 09:50 |
| soroush | but the first problem has still remained | 09:50 |
| RenaKunisaki | installed xserver-xorg again | 09:50 |
| soroush | my config files: | 09:50 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, i have had that expirince | 09:50 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: http://nopaste.com/p/aukjvVDnw | 09:50 |
| soroush | I think it is a problem with my XServer or Gnome | 09:50 |
| soroush | because everything goes well in terminal | 09:50 |
| arvind_khadri | RenaKunisaki, now try installing the nvidia-glx that will work now | 09:50 |

| dahlia | I'm trying to install ubuntu desktop 7.10 in VirtualBox. It keeps coming up in 800x600 mode even though I go into the vga and select 1024x768. and the install menus are too big for the screen at 800x600. Is there a way I can make it go into a larger resolution, or install in text mode? | 10:10 |
| balleyne | Just upgraded to Hardy and I have an issue with Firefox, pretty sure it's leftover from some crap that Automatix did to my system a while back... basically, I think /usr/bin/firefox is linked to the wrong place since I'd had to adjust that manually to fix Automatix's mess. Can someone tell me what /usr/bin/firefox should be linked to in a standard Hardy install? | 10:10 |
| RenaKunisaki | ok, I did apt-get install nvidia-glx and got a bunch of errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63688/ | 10:10 |

| soroush | <soroush> Hi, when I insert a cd/dvd , it was not automatically mounted even if I clicked on the recognised CD/DVD icon, so I tried changing /etc/sudoers and changed it as you can see it here, now it can be mounted via terminal using sudo mount /dev/cdrom but it can't be mounted in Gnome either. I had similar problems with running programs like users-admin via gui and I saw an error saying | 10:50 |
| soroush | XAutorization file couldn't be copied | 10:50 |
| soroush | I could solve the last problem by running XServer scripts mode in user login | 10:50 |
| soroush | but the first problem has still remained | 10:50 |
| FloodBot3 | soroush: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:50 |

| tomolds | When I first load X after a restart my resolution is as I had set it but it only shows it square and not filling the full width of the screen. In order to change this I must change the resolution and then re-set it to what I had for it to occupy the whole screen. Any ideas? | 10:51 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, seems like you are not there in the admin group | 10:52 |
| bod_ | tomolds, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:52 |
| foo-nix | magnetron: esd is like alsa, i.e. only one of them should be used, right? | 10:52 |
| magnetron | foo-nix: no | 10:52 |
| magnetron | foo-nix: use any of them. | 10:52 |
| foo-nix | magnetron: I shut down kmix and swapped amarok to alsa, now music is playing, only it can not be heard. | 10:52 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, jus boot into recovery and issue adduser <username> admin | 10:52 |
| foo-nix | magnetron: but esound is a framework just like alsa, wont they conflict? | 10:53 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, then log back into X | 10:53 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: http://nopaste.com/p/a8jFavEEU | 10:53 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, jus boot into recovery and issue adduser <username> admin | 10:53 |
| magnetron | foo-nix: they won't conflict if you set esound to use alsa | 10:53 |
| bod_ | foo-nix, do u have more then 1 sound device? eg, a sound card and onboard sound ? | 10:53 |
| foo-nix | bod_: No, I ahve one onboard card (laptop | 10:53 |
| soroush | arvind_khadri: it's not the problem. I can do anything through command line except su however I can do sudo | 10:53 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, can you do sudo -s | 10:54 |
| foo-nix | Some time ago I did some kernel module stuff to fix a ubuntu bug on sound, but it did not work. | 10:54 |
| foo-nix | I had the same problem then (never got to fix it) | 10:54 |
| arvind_khadri | soroush, the terminal should turn to # | 10:54 |
| l33et | thx for no answer | 10:54 |
| bod_ | l33et, u were given an answer | 10:55 |

| tuntun | Hi. I have a second partition that I mount only every so-often. When I browse through a folder with mixed contents, the 'Type' column only changes to the correct type when I highlight a file. This means that before I can sort by the type column I must first highlight over every file by holding the down arrow. This doesn't seem right. In addition, when I leave the folder and return the 'Type' column data has not been retained. What Is causing this problem? | 10:57 |
| l33et | but in ubuntu it won´t when ssid broadcast was disabled | 10:57 |
| bod_ | l33et, linux is not windows -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm | 10:57 |

| arvind_khadri | Oprtz, will get back to you soon ;) | 11:36 |
| Oprtz | arvind_khadri: i thought i am bothering u , asking so many questions | 11:36 |
| ExT- | bod_ it must be a very simple problem. the things is I am a begginer. I downloaded an .iso with a live CD to try Ubuntu | 11:36 |
| Oprtz | arvind_khadri: ty dude | 11:36 |
| bod_ | ExT-, ok, no probs, where are you stuck? | 11:36 |
| ExT- | thing is I burned the image but when I reboot with the cd in the tray nothing happens | 11:36 |
| arvind_khadri | Oprtz, aah i just love being here | 11:36 |
| ExT- | then I tried to boot the cd | 11:37 |
| bod_ | ExT-, did you change the system bios to boot from cd before hard drive? | 11:37 |
| Ponny | ExT-, did you burn the image on cd or did you burn the iso-FILE on cd? | 11:37 |
| ExT- | bod_ no | 11:37 |
| ExT- | I burned the iso like an image I believe | 11:37 |
| bod_ | ExT-, make sure your system bios boots cd's before hard drives, and take a look at what Ponny said, | 11:38 |
| bod_ | ExT-, just change the bios and you should et the cd to boot ;~) | 11:38 |
| arvind_khadri | ok Oprtz lets start from the begining did you do any changes to your system...jus do one thing PM what all you did,a lot of reverse engg to be done ;) | 11:38 |
| bod_ | arvind_khadri, lool, we spend half the time undoing things ;~) | 11:39 |
| ExT- | bod_ but I think I already installed something | 11:39 |
| arvind_khadri | bod_, :) cant help ...most of the errors crop up due to the changes | 11:39 |
| matrix|ab | how do i tell ubuntu to use my pcmcia soundcard | 11:39 |
| tuntun | Where are the bloody developers?! I want to wring them for some of their decisions!! | 11:39 |
| tuntun | how can I drag a selection rectangle in nuatilus? | 11:39 |
| bod_ | ExT-, if you just wanted to try ubuntu, you can play with it while your running windows, just load the cd in windows as if it was a game and you'll et an intereactive walkthrouh type thin | 11:40 |
| bod_ | ExT-, whhat do you mean? you installed what? | 11:40 |
| arvind_khadri | tuntun, that would be in #nautilus-devel ;) | 11:40 |
| ExT- | I did a reboot with the cd in the tray | 11:40 |
| ExT- | but nothing happened | 11:40 |
| ExT- | then I went to my computer and runned the cd | 11:41 |
| ExT- | and followed some steps | 11:41 |
| Sinnerman | ok, well, since no one's prepared to gimme an answer, i'll answer my own question. fire up gconf-editor, go to /desktop/gnome/connected_servers and delete the offending subfolder. | 11:41 |
| ExT- | which said | 11:41 |
| ExT- | "Help me boot from the cd" | 11:42 |
| Moppa | When i run fullscreen applications (ie games, screensaver) in ubuntu 7.10 i can see applications that are currently not in focus through the fullscreen application | 11:42 |

| ExT- | and then something was installed, like a game | 11:42 |
| Moppa | anyone got an idea on how to fix? | 11:42 |
| arvind_khadri | Moppa, you mean you have a transparent screen | 11:43 |
| Sinnerman | bod_: ha ha. | 11:43 |
| bod_ | ExT-, i dont think anything has happened, so we will start from the beginning, step 1, download the iso -- step 2 burn the image to cd, step 3 place cd in drive and reboot, step 4 change system biuos to boot from cd, step5 cd should boot | 11:43 |
| ExT- | ok | 11:43 |
| ExT- | I will try it now | 11:43 |

| PupUsera8a72a | Hi all . . . so I'm trying to install Ubuntu Studio from the DVD, and unfortunately I'm not getting very far . . . it gets to the point where it SHOULD start the installation dialogue (with the nice blue background), but it doesn't. It just hangs with the screen completely blank. The last thing the boot log shows is a line with klogd and syslogd, and then the screen flickers and goes blank. | 11:43 |
| PupUsera8a72a | I have tested the DVD on another computer - it works fine. So this might be a hardware problem with mine . . . ugh. | 11:43 |
| PupUsera8a72a | Any ideas? | 11:43 |
| Sinnerman | bod_: only caveat. you can't delete a 'folder' apparently. | 11:43 |
| arvind_khadri | bod_, a live cd from Cannonical is much better than that ;) | 11:43 |
| tuntun | Aaargghh....Ubuntu...so...user...unfriendly....aaarrrgghhh... | 11:44 |
| bloutouffe | anyone to help me for live USB from XP ? | 11:44 |
| Moppa | arvind_khadri - not quite. the applications behind is only visible when it updates (ie the time played in vlc, when i get a notififacion on pidgin etc) | 11:44 |
| bod_ | Sinnerman, you can delete a folder,.,. use sudo mv to trash folder then clean the trash folder | 11:44 |
| Moppa | sort of flickers in | 11:44 |
| Sinnerman | bod_: in gconf-editor? | 11:44 |
| bod_ | arvind_khadri, i may aree if i knew what canonical was ;~) | 11:44 |
| bod_ | Sinnerman, no, all from terminal | 11:44 |
| Paavi2_0 | tuntun: in which way? | 11:45 |
| Sinnerman | bod_: well, i was referring to an entry in gconf-editor :P. | 11:45 |
| arvind_khadri | Moppa, set notification for pidgin and other apps | 11:45 |
| arvind_khadri | bod_, i hope you know who markus shuttleworth is | 11:45 |
| bod_ | Sinnerman, ok sorry, but on the contrary a entry in gconf is just a file/folder/entry somewhere that can be accessed throuh terminal | 11:45 |
| Sinnerman | it does list the entry for that shortcut, you unmount the shortcut (it's not mounted anyway, but the shortcut exists) and the entries go blank inside that... | 11:46 |
| bod_ | arvind_khadri, yer,.,.,.ok,.,.,.,. | 11:46 |
| * bod_ wonders who he is | 11:46 | |
| arvind_khadri | bod_, cannonical is the company which ships the cd to house ;) | 11:46 |
| Sinnerman | bod_: i'll need to look that up. | 11:46 |
| XVT | is anyone having a problem using update manager? it only lets me make a partial update... | 11:46 |

| bod_ | arvind_khadri, ive never had a problem with them ,. ;~) | 11:47 |
| Sinnerman | bod_: it's inside .gconf. thanks for pointing it out. it might not be necessary. i'll log out and in, to see if the problem recurs. | 11:47 |
| Moppa | arvind_khadri - but that is not the problem. if i run for instance vlc and then the screensaver starts i will see a change in the screensaver where the field of the time played is. and it doesn't matter which app i'm running in fullscreen or behinfd | 11:47 |
| bod_ | Sinnerman, ok,.,. (confused) | 11:47 |

| Sinnerman | bod_: ok, yesterday, i tried to connect to a smb share via places -> connect to server. unfortunately, whilst yet unmounted, it left a shortcut on my desktop which appeared again today after i tried unmounting that yesterday before logging off. i found an entry for it in gconf-editor, in a subfolder. i wanted to remove the subfolder. the same configuration of settings in gconf-editor can be found in ~/.gconf. | 11:50 |

| Oprtz | arvind_khadri: 60% :) poor quality of videos :( | 11:51 |
| bod_ | Sinnerman, a sub-folder shown in gconf editor has to be a sub-folder accesable via nautilus and terminal therefore can be deleted in the same way | 11:51 |
| bod_ | arvind_khadri, ubuntu has funding? | 11:51 |
| arvind_khadri | Oprtz, hmm so you are using totem?? | 11:52 |

When I browse through a folder with mixed contents, the 'Type' column only changes to the correct type when I highlight a file. This means that before I can sort by the type column I must first highlight over every file by holding the down arrow. This doesn't seem right. In addition, when I leave the folder and return the 'Type' column data has not been retained. What Is causing this problem? I | 12:09 |

| damaltor | shardik: well, this shouldnt be the reason. linux torrent clients can do everything win clients can do, too. wine is slowing it down for no reason. but, try "wine /home/[username]/.utorrent/utorrent.exe" or so | 12:13 |
| BenTheMan | it lags when it starts | 12:13 |
| CalvinDK_ | yes i think | 12:13 |

If I recall correctly older version of Ubuntu (5.04, 5.10) wouldn't change the version numbers of software after release, I noticed that in 7.10 (can't remember other ones), the version numbers did change, for example Firefox 2.0.x is that methodology changed? | 12:21 |

| Dr_willis | kelvin911, if it has a window open you can use xkill. wine can crash very very badly. and you may need to just reboot. try a kill -9 PID | 12:31 |
| Idan | Amaranth Ohh ok... But there is Suse's Gnome-Main-Menu that can eliminate the top/bottom bar. | 12:31 |

| kelvin911 | how to minimize or kill that fullscreen window? | 12:36 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: is util-linux installed? | 12:36 |
| Moppa | crdlb - i have a quite fresh ubuntu install. and have removed compiz from the system. any other ideas? | 12:36 |
| AlexQ | Amaranth: How do I check? | 12:36 |
| kelvin911 | can i use force quit? | 12:36 |
| crdlb | Moppa: you removed compiz-core ? | 12:36 |
| arvind_khadri | AlexQ, apt-cache policy util-linux | 12:37 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: dpkg -l util-linux | 12:37 |
| Dr_willis | last time i remocved compiz - it goofed up a lot of other things.. i forget what i had to do to fix it. | 12:37 |
| crdlb | Moppa: it would be more productive to just run 'metacity --replace' though | 12:37 |
| Moppa | crdlb - no, i will try that. | 12:37 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: should have an ii next to it | 12:37 |
| crdlb | Moppa: actually Dr_willis is right, don't do that | 12:37 |
| Amaranth | compiz is rather integrated into gnome | 12:37 |
| Amaranth | if you remove it login takes like 2 minutes longer than normal, for example | 12:37 |

| chazco | hubuntu_ - Ah... it has bugs... maybe not then | 12:39 |
| AlexQ | Amaranth: I think it is installed, but it isn't possible to reinstall it etc. i think | 12:39 |
| hubuntu_ | keep yourself to gnome-bkuetooth handling | 12:39 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: you need to run that as "LANG=C apt-cache policy util-linux" | 12:39 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: I don't speak the language you use :) | 12:39 |
| chazco | hubuntu_ - With the current setup its quite tricky to use bluetooth PANs and so on | 12:39 |
| AlexQ | Amaranth: I know, i know :) | 12:39 |
| hubuntu_ | Hardy and eventually Intrepid will bring us better bluetooth supportin network connections (GPRS mainly) | 12:39 |

| alexMK | Hello, is there a way to run sudo from my user without having to always type the password? | 12:41 |
| arvind_khadri | AlexQ that means its not installed | 12:41 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: how did you manage to uninstall an Essential package? | 12:41 |
| chazco | hubuntu_ - I was surprised that the support for bluetooth was so poor in Ubuntu... | 12:41 |
| hubuntu_ | Amaranth: I understood it like that when talking to devs, I might have misunderstood ;) | 12:41 |
| kelvin911 | let try to run the game again | 12:41 |
| chazco | or linux in general even | 12:41 |
| AlexQ | Amaranth: I dont know, but how to repair it? | 12:41 |
| Dr_willis | alexMK, the sudo and sudoers file has options for that. check the sudo manpages, and google for sudo ussage :) | 12:41 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: apt makes you type in 'Yes, do as I say!' to make it do that because it is unwise to do so | 12:41 |
| Moppa | crdlb - setting visual effects to none worked :). | 12:42 |
| hubuntu_ | but Hardy WILL bring us better bluetooth connections, at least with phones and cards thorug NetworkManager | 12:42 |
| Dr_willis | alexMK, it would be considered a bad thing from a security point of view.. (but i do it that way also on some machines) | 12:42 |
| AlexQ | Amaranth: I don't remember that I have done it... Is it possible to repair it or not? | 12:42 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: grab http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/util-linux/util-linux_2.13-8ubuntu1_i386.deb and see if you can install it manually | 12:42 |
| floating | rothchild: does that video work for you ? I have installed w32codecs from medibuntu but it doesnt help :( | 12:42 |
| arvind_khadri | chazco, there is bluemon here in ubuntu | 12:42 |
| hubuntu_ | chazco: I believe it is pretty good, but it need a lot of tweaking... The stack is there to do anything you want | 12:42 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: Never removed an Essential package before so I'm in new territory | 12:43 |
| AlexQ | Amaranth: I'll try, but i think it wouldn't be possible | 12:43 |

| AlexQ | Amaranth: Mhm, i have AMD64, another link, plz? | 12:43 |
| Amaranth | AlexQ: the reason mkinitramfs is failing like this instead of giving dependency errors is because a system without an Essential package installed is considered a very broken system | 12:43 |

| Dr_willis | :P | 13:48 |

| IceKing | lartza_ yeah but rsync and the update manager? | 13:49 |
| unop_ | Ravenkin, if you install the ntfsprogs package, you can use ntfsfix to repair the volume | 13:49 |
| lartza_ | IceKing: Then no idea | 13:49 |
| pajamian | x0x: wine is a near full implementation of several different versions of windows, so it's understandable that it is a bit hefty. | 13:49 |
| Ravenkin | unop_ thanks I'll try that | 13:49 |
| unop_ | Ravenkin, reformatting is really overkill for something as simple as this | 13:50 |
| IceKing | pajamian how fine is the wine these days? | 13:50 |
| lartza_ | IceKing: No sound... | 13:50 |

| seriouslycgi | help.. my local ubuntu 7.10 lamp server on 100mbit network is running really slow all of a sudden for a week now, tried re-install and new nic card but its still slow, where do i begin to troubleshoot? | 13:51 |
| unop_ | Ravenkin, are you trying to boot windows up or are you trying to mount the windows volume within ubuntu? | 13:51 |
| lartza_ | arvind_k: Well, there is no newest googleearth on medibuntu | 13:52 |
| unop_ | seriouslycgi, what is "seriously slow", define it? | 13:52 |
| seriouslycgi | 10-40kbytes | 13:52 |
| lartza_ | But it's still newest than my previous | 13:52 |
| arvind_k | lartza_, hmm | 13:52 |
| Ravenkin | unop_ Well Windows won't let me in, so I can't restart it in order to shut it down properly, so I was going to try and force mount it in Ubuntu so I can see if there was anything I really wanted to save, but I pretty much use Ubuntu now, so there shouldn't be anything there anywya | 13:52 |
| seriouslycgi | and ssh takes ages to respond | 13:52 |
| lartza_ | I'm not sure if it would work from medibuntu if it was newest since the official wont work | 13:52 |

| lartza_ | vova_kubba: It's not working on mine neither | 13:55 |
| lartza_ | I have userlist on right | 13:55 |
| pajamian | seriouslycgi: I would look into what may have changed since it worked fast. Also, make sure it's not HW related, I know you tried a new NIC, but also try a new ethernet cable, different port on router/hub/switch/whatever, etc. | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | LordMetroid, the core stuff to compile C programs is not included. install 'build-essential' package. | 13:55 |
| lartza_ | Is medibuntu repo down? | 13:55 |
| Ravenkin | Thanks for everyone's help | 13:55 |
| vova_kubba | i have user list on right to but i can'r scroll it | 13:55 |

| vova_kubba | and i can't scroll what does people wrote | 13:56 |
| lartza_ | Click name and press down? Scroll mouse? | 13:56 |
| unop_ | seriouslycgi, also verify the duplex/speed of the link, make sure it is set to 100Mb Full-Duplex (use ethtool for that) | 13:56 |
| lartza_ | Page down or up? | 13:56 |
| bleck | or how I could get the .config from my running kernel to check how its compiled? | 13:56 |

| seriouslycgi | pajamian, ok thanks they are good suggestions | 13:57 |
| lartza_ | oh | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | IceKing, one thing that bugs me about slackware is how their build system differes from Debian Ubuntu's ! :) | 13:57 |

| bleck | IceKing : what specifically? | 13:58 |
| lartza_ | vova_kubba: I have irssi and it doesnt have userlist so cant try | 13:58 |
| IceKing | my points is Ive learned about ./configure & friends...the hard way and now its hard wired into my brain | 13:58 |

| lartza_ | np | 13:59 |
| bleck | IceKing : no-ones stopping you from doing it that way :) | 13:59 |
| pajamian | Enselic: it doesn't crash that often for me but it does lock up after viewing several videos. my solution is to just restart FF since it doesn't happen that often. I generally attribute it to a problem with the proprietary flash player. | 13:59 |
| vova_kubba | who are using weechat? | 13:59 |
| lartza_ | Is medibuntu working on you? | 13:59 |

| noob13 | matrix: you just create it. and usually put it into /var/www | 14:00 |
| Enselic | pajamian: it is in no doubt a problem with the propriatary player, that's why I'm asking for workaround rather than just fixing the bug myself :) | 14:00 |

| IceKing | try opening it from a terminal | 14:16 |

| kjdx | How do I delete a bindshell on my server? | 14:52 |
| TRC2908 | it works on windows | 14:52 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, Ok unplug the drive and wait about 1 min and then plug it back in, then paste the dmesg again please, this info is not what I need | 14:52 |
| CaBlGuY | TRC2908, pfffttt yea. well, windowz will "see" anything.... | 14:52 |
| zionpsyfer | Float: If you're setting up a static IP, you need to know what you want your ip address to be. If you're on a basic home network, you'll probably want an IP on the same subnet with the same netmask. I.E. if the other devices on the network are all 192.168.0.* then you'll probably want a 192.168.0.whatever address. | 14:52 |

| CaBlGuY | TRC2908, are u able to boot into Linux? | 14:53 |
| wolfwalker | Um......... more simple compressed format that is | 14:53 |
| TRC2908 | there were references to the maxtor further up in demsg - would that have helped - you mentioned the last 20 linesit further up above | 14:53 |
| zionpsyfer | Float: Be sure that the IP address you pick will not be given out by the dhcp server(if there is one). Also, pay attention to the netmask. 255.255.255.0 is common, if the other devices use that, then you should as well. | 14:54 |

| Jimmymaniac | Hi. Quick question: Is there a nice proggie to graphically see your used disk space, all gnome-integrated? I don't mean "tell me how much free space do i have", that's obvious, but "What's taking the free space, in order?" or something like that | 14:54 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, I was not expecting so many errors :( | 14:54 |
| Float | zionpsyfer: So, does it matter what I choose as my own IP as long as it won't be given out by dhcp? | 14:54 |
| CaBlGuY | mechdave, u got that? | 14:55 |
| CaBlGuY | helpin him I mean.. | 14:55 |
| mechdave | CaBlGuY, sorry, got what? | 14:55 |

| CaBlGuY | mechdave, helping TRC2908 I enant.. U good with that? I can help possibly.. | 14:56 |
| pxeHelp | I am really tired. Last plea. | 14:56 |
| zionpsyfer | Float: No, but be sure the subnet is the same. The first three octets of the IP should match what the dhcp server is giving out (unless you are purposely and knowingly deviating) for simplicity sake. | 14:56 |
| CaBlGuY | *meant | 14:56 |
| Float | zionpsyfer: Yeah, of course. wow, I didn't think this was that simple. | 14:57 |
| astro76 | pxeHelp: in my /lastlog I see please... but no actual question... try asking again | 14:57 |
| pxeHelp | I am trying to install ubuntu over a lan to other machines in my lab. I am following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer?highlight=%28pxe%29. The dhcp server is working because when I 'boot from lan' from the client it discovers the dhcp servers ip and then gets an ip in the proper range. But then it says TFTP.....timed out. And then again TFTP.... And nothing happens. My /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, /etc/inetd .conf and apache stuff is same | 14:57 |

| TRC2908 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63723/ | 14:58 |
| zionpsyfer | Float: That would be your routers address. I.E. if your subnet is 192.168.0.* it is most likely 192.168.0.1. | 14:58 |
| mechdave | CaBlGuY, no worries, if you have any ideas just jump in :) | 14:59 |

| pxeHelp | astro76: now? I am stuck. | 15:01 |
| pxeHelp | even ikonia is not around :( | 15:01 |
| Float | zionpsyfer: Well, the dhcp hands out 192.168.1.* ips... | 15:01 |
| astro76 | wdh: it should | 15:02 |
| astro76 | pxeHelp: now I see I don't know the answer... hopefully someone else will ;) | 15:02 |
| zionpsyfer | Float: Alright, so your router is probably 192.168.1.1 | 15:02 |

| francisco | hi | 15:06 |
| astro76 | wolfwalker: not really, most formats like .ogg and .mp3 are relatively easy to decode compared to encode (i.e. it takes little cpu to play or convert to wav to burn cd in your case) | 15:06 |
| Floa1 | zionpsyfer: Alright... that seemed to work. Thanks. | 15:06 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, try running scandisk to fix errors and defrag on your drive from windows and then try again | 15:07 |
| CaBlGuY | mechdave, well, that's kinda an oxy-moron aint it.. (windows and fix it) LOL but, he could give it a try,.. but, if it's the HDD and not the USB drive, he needs to get a good HDD... | 15:07 |

| wolfwalker | astro76 all I know is this is a slow computer, but nero takes WAY less time (dual boot) than either Gnomebaker or K3B. Most of the time is spent decoding audio format to cd audio. | 15:07 |
| jrib | gnuskool: all of the ones I listed are just wm's. I don't really know of other "environments" other than GNOME, KDE, and XFCE | 15:07 |
| astro76 | wolfwalker: using .ogg's with nero too? | 15:08 |
| NW2190 | linkinxp: ya but I want to clean up everything cuz I messed around a lot with gutsy and installed loads of programs that I never use | 15:08 |
| Odd-rationale | gnuskool: consider lxde (http://lxde.sf.net) | 15:08 |
| wolfwalker | Using mp3, wav, wma with nero. Using mp3 with K3B and Gnomebaker too, and they still take forever. | 15:08 |

| jgoo | Hi everyone! I just installed HH8.04 beta - during live session network was working fine, but as soon as I installed and rebooted, the network was in 'roaming' mode. I've tried setting it to DHCP, and static (both should work) and nothing happens... I can't ping local network or otherwise | 15:37 |
| astro76 | _3mendo: yes, iptables ( the linux firewall) blocks nothing by default | 15:37 |
| jgoo | It does however pick up the DNS settings from the DHCP server I noticed... | 15:37 |
| zionpsyfer | NW2190: jump in #zionpsyfer for the mysql question. | 15:38 |
| dtamas | last.fm player for ubuntu? | 15:38 |
| jgoo | the network uses 10.0.0.X ips, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 - I have DHCP giving out from 200+ and I have some machines static to < 200 | 15:38 |
| ampmaniac3 | hi! why does when i use a php script to execute a useradd -m username -p password the password in the /etc/passwd is not encrypted? | 15:38 |
| craigbass1976 | FastZ: http://rafb.net/p/41vIeH10.html | 15:38 |
| astro76 | dtamas: vagalume | 15:38 |
| koshari | amenado i are using dhcp with 192.168.0.1 serving the ip asddys and it 192.168.0.1 is connectied to the AP via ethernet. the ubuntu machine i are trying to connect to the net is wireless via the AP @ 192.168.0.252. the same machine connects to the web fine using windows. with ubuntu i can connect to this desktop i are typing on via its apache server on 192.168.0.8. i can ping from the notebook 192.168.0.9 fine however i cannot ping 192.168.0.1 fr | 15:38 |
| astro76 | dtamas: actually maybe that's maemo only..... | 15:39 |
| Coggz | i would like someone to aid me in getting hotkeys on my Acer Travelmate C111TCi (C110) working, that includes wlan, Bluetooth, volume... | 15:39 |
| jgoo | koshari, sounds very similar to the problem I am having | 15:39 |
| astro76 | dtamas: nope... it's gtk/gnome too http://vagalume.igalia.com/ | 15:39 |
| jgoo | I've ran sudo lshw -C network | 15:39 |
| craigbass1976 | FastZ: http://rafb.net/p/x1PEnF69.html is my sources.list file | 15:39 |
| ampmaniac3 | it is written as what it is, and when i use an encrypt function, i could not log in to the system | 15:40 |
| FastZ | craigbass1976: thanks gimme a sec to look at these | 15:40 |
| dtamas | astro76: thanks, i try it | 15:40 |
| amenado | koshari-> do you have a drawing perhaps? it will take me a while to understand what you just said | 15:40 |
| jgoo | Is there a known network issue with 8.04 ? I am confused why static ip, or DHCP would not work... especially since the connection was working perfectly during live session when I booted!! | 15:40 |
| astro76 | jgoo: that's a question for #ubuntu+1 | 15:41 |
| craigbass1976 | FastZ: I'm actually think of installing Feisty... This is a PITA | 15:41 |
| jgoo | amenado, if the problems are similar, my network setup is very simple: linksys router as DHCP, at 10.0.0.100 | 15:41 |
| FastZ | craigbass1976: try running sudo apt-get --fix-broken | 15:41 |
| Technofrood | Just upgraded my 7.10 box to the 8.04 RC, how ever the newest kernel listed in grub (2.6.24-16) comes up with a kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) | 15:42 |
| amenado | jgoo do you have similar explanations? maybe you can assist in translating what koshari said..i have difficulty following what he said | 15:42 |
| jgoo | astro76, what is that channel? And what criteria has my question met to be deemed ubuntu+1able? | 15:42 |
| FastZ | craigbass1976: dont give up...that's the easy way out | 15:42 |
| ampmaniac3 | can anyone tell me the default password encrytion used by ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon server edition? | 15:42 |
| astro76 | jgoo: Ubuntu beta version channel, you are using Hardy | 15:42 |
| amenado | jgoo-> 8.04 is the key..thats hardy | 15:42 |
| hwMoD | hello - I started a do-release-upgrade through ssh via wireless on my laptop, then thougth better, stopped it half way, and now apt-get upgrade is getting hardy packages | 15:42 |
| Siph0n | jgoo, anything related to hardy goes to ubuntu+1 :) | 15:42 |
| hwMoD | how many issues am I facing? | 15:42 |
| compwiz18 | !hardy | jgoo | 15:43 |
| hwMoD | i guess thats me too | 15:43 |
| jgoo | amenado, I have linksys, at 10.0.0.100, I have working network in live mode, however, when installed, DHCP will get DNS values, but seemingly not get an IP, and static IP doesn't work (I am confident in the ips I have given) | 15:43 |
| ubotu | jgoo: 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 | 15:43 |
| craigbass1976 | FastZ: Ok.... the fix broken command isn't working either. Is that the right syntax? I'm getting told about the otions for apt-get (like when I type in a command with the wrong options/switches) | 15:43 |
| jgoo | ok, I will try in there, but I wanted to give amenado an explanation, cheers | 15:43 |
| astro76 | jgoo: yeah no worries ;) | 15:43 |
| amenado | jgoo thanks, | 15:43 |

| amenado | koshari-> man that a tuff one to interpret...can you break it down, to what is connected to the internet? then what is acting as router/gateway? then another router/gateway behind it? | 15:45 |
| FastZ | craigbass1976: im only on cup #2 of coffee so i'm still a little bit asleep at the wheel here | 15:45 |

| SuRfDeMoN | this is for moving files from one ubuntu laptop to another laptop running ubuntu | 15:54 |
| TRC2908 | mechdave, sudo fdisk -l? | 15:54 |
| craigbass1976 | SuRfDeMoN: what are you sharing out? Need any security, or just wide open? | 15:54 |

| amenado | koshari oh yeah it was you, you dont have ip address assigned to your eth0 or eth1 and no gateway | 15:57 |
| koshari | amenado i did here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/7504/ | 15:57 |
| SuRfDeMoN | mechdave, one of them has that option but it is on the wrong laptop its on the one I want to get the data off | 15:57 |

| vova_kubba | please advice me torrent cliaent except ktorrent , rtorrent and transmission ;) | 15:58 |
| mechdave | SuRfDeMoN, which Ubuntu you using? | 15:58 |
| amenado | koshari so get an ip address assigned to eth0 or eth1 for the laptop | 15:58 |
| koshari | astro76 and amendo how do i do this using roaning? | 15:58 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, that is odd, should show up in there | 15:58 |
| jgoo | ok, solved - looks physical... sometime between live session and booting, i think the network... somehow... got nudged, and there is no light on back... but weird... | 15:58 |
| SuRfDeMoN | mechdave, think it is hardy, how can i confirm it ? | 15:58 |
| anaoum | what package contains the program uniq?? | 15:58 |
| anaoum | or how can i find this out | 15:59 |

| craigbass1976 | SuRfDeMoN: Make your /etc/samba/smb.conf file look liek that and you should be good to go | 16:00 |

| solar7 | hi | 16:01 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, Looks like bad news to me, might need to plug it into a windows box and run scandisk on it, any win box will do | 16:01 |
| solar7 | http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6277/wiesocu0.jpg <-- why is that? | 16:01 |
| itai-michaelson | question_ got a new laptop, want to install hardy, now its beta , will it automatically update to stable once it officially comes out? or will i be stuck with beta forever? | 16:01 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, it has errors that I do not know how to fix in Ubuntu | 16:01 |
| amenado | koshari your AP has not assigned you an ip address per your paste, untick the roaming anyways | 16:02 |
| zvacet | itai-michaelson : you will get final by updates | 16:02 |
| astro76 | solar7: you should explain it because people are wary to click your link | 16:02 |
| TRC2908 | mechdave, ok, i'll run scandisk on the ehd sometime this week | 16:02 |
| solar7 | okay | 16:02 |
| solar7 | so | 16:02 |
| itai-michaelson | zvacet, thanks | 16:02 |

| koshari | amenado why would this be the case as there is the gateway entered in the access point and windows picks it up? | 16:02 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, No worries, sorry I couldn't be of more help | 16:03 |
| amenado | koshari not per what you pasted, no ip address assigned to your eth0 nor eth1 -- these are you wifi nics on your laptop? | 16:04 |
| solar7 | when i boot my ubuntu everything works fine but when ubuntu loads the hardwaree drivers.. 2 errnos appear... you can see them on this screenshot --> http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6277/wiesocu0.jpg | 16:04 |
| bya | #ubuntu-fr | 16:04 |
| astro76 | koshari: the laptop should be getting no information from the access point, and it's IP is transparent to the situation | 16:04 |
| TRC2908 | mechdave, by the way, i need to download software from seagate to get the maxtor ehd running on windows - is this of any relevance? | 16:04 |
| astro76 | koshari: only DHCP server should be on the router | 16:04 |
| mechdave | SuRfDeMoN, try sudo apt-get install samba | 16:05 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, Uhoh!! | 16:05 |
| koshari | astro76 this is correct | 16:05 |
| FastZ | craigbass1976: you figure anything out about your install problem? I'm still trying to look for some information about a fix for that | 16:05 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, does seagate have linux drivers? | 16:05 |
| astro76 | koshari: windows is getting it's IP and gateway info from the dhcp on the router, for some reason linux is not | 16:06 |
| solar7 | damn | 16:06 |
| mechdave | TRC2908, what is the model? | 16:06 |
| TRC2908 | mechdave, maxtor mini iii | 16:06 |
| solar7 | log | 16:06 |
| astro76 | koshari: sorry if I'm stating the obvious here ;) | 16:07 |
| koshari | astro i put a static ip addy in the laptop and its connecting to 192.168.0.1, i cant see why it cant get a dhcp served local ip addy? | 16:08 |
| zionpsyfer | solar7: Try disabling the boot from cd option in your bios. from what I gather it can cause what you are experiencing. | 16:08 |
| solar7 | aha | 16:08 |
| solar7 | thats a good idea | 16:09 |
| solar7 | thx | 16:09 |
| astro76 | koshari: I honestly haven't used static in a long while... I set my router to give the same IP to paritcular MACs via DHCP | 16:09 |
| TRC2908 | mechdave, when i got it, it worked out of the box on windows a couple of years ago, but with a later reboot/replacement pc i had to download this software = http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=ot3-mini-vista&vgnextoid=bb9cb7ecb30d3110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD | 16:09 |
| mona3 | hello | 16:09 |
| mona3 | how can i change my screen depth to 16 bit? | 16:09 |
| amenado | koshari use a cable to plug your laptop to same AP and see if you get an ip addy to your laptop | 16:09 |
| mona3 | i'm trying to run a game in wine and the appdb says to change X to 16 bit | 16:09 |
| mona3 | otherwise there are performance problems | 16:09 |
| zionpsyfer | solar7: no problem, hopefully that solves it. | 16:10 |
| astro76 | koshari: the AP has one port though doesn't it? | 16:10 |
| TRC2908 | mechdave, the site refers to windows vista but i was running xp | 16:10 |
| koshari | astro76 yes | 16:11 |
| noob13 | mona3: you could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the Section "Screen" change defaultdepth to 16 and restart X. I'm not sure it will work, but.. | 16:11 |
| SeaPhor | mona3: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 16:11 |
| mona3 | SeaPhor: i will now | 16:12 |
| astro76 | koshari: did it work in linux via wireless when using dhcp, if you tried that first? | 16:12 |

| ivo | hello everybody | 16:13 |
| ivo | what happend when i put usb device into usb port in my computer | 16:13 |
| koshari | astro76 i did try that first but didnt work, using static now i can access goole by directly putting in the 72.104.***.*** | 16:14 |
| astro76 | koshari: because you'll have to set dns manually too | 16:14 |
| ivo | i can see informatrion when i use "dmesg" | 16:14 |
| koshari | astro76 ot would appear i will have to manually put the dns server detasils in | 16:14 |
| noob13 | ivo: what is the device? | 16:14 |
| astro76 | koshari: though depending on router you can just point dns at 192.168.0.1 | 16:14 |
| ivo | for exemple mice | 16:14 |
| magic_ninja | LOL guys check this out | 16:15 |
| magic_ninja | i installed winxp so i can bot for d2, but windows xp wont automatically configure my dhcp isp | 16:15 |

| ivo | is there any other "place" that i can see new device into usb-port | 16:15 |
| magic_ninja | ivo what are u trying to connect | 16:15 |
| erUSUL | ivo: lsusb | 16:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ivo, dmesg | tail | 16:15 |
| koshari | astro76 so its working using static with the dns manually put in but i cant see why it wont work using dhcp???? | 16:15 |
| _urlwolf__ | my ubuntu install doesn't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf (?). I'm reading instructions that mention that... | 16:15 |
| magic_ninja | or lspci | grep usb | 16:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if you want to see what you just plugged or unplugged | 16:15 |
| astro76 | koshari: good question | 16:16 |
| ivo | ok lsusb is something that i'm looking for, thx | 16:16 |
| magic_ninja | _urlwolf__: are u running an x server | 16:16 |
| _urlwolf__ | yes | 16:16 |
| _urlwolf__ | well | 16:16 |
| zvacet | _urlwolf__ : did you ever econfigure xservedr? | 16:16 |
| _urlwolf__ | no | 16:16 |
| _urlwolf__ | hmm | 16:17 |
| _urlwolf__ | I see | 16:17 |
| magic_ninja | dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg i believe, that will generate one | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | !enter | _urlwolf__ | 16:17 |
| ubotu | _urlwolf__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:17 |
| _urlwolf__ | I'm connected to this box using X-win 32 on a win machine | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | !xconfig | 16:17 |
| ubotu | To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 16:17 |
| _urlwolf__ | so, then, maybe the Xserver is running on win instead | 16:17 |
| astro76 | koshari: plugging laptop ethernet into router works with dhcp? | 16:17 |
| astro76 | koshari: router or switch | 16:18 |
| zvacet | _urlwolf__ : Do you have GUI in Ubuntu? | 16:18 |
| _urlwolf__ | zvacet: yes | 16:18 |
| SuRfDeMoN | humm i have setup a share on a ubuntu machine how do I connect to it from another ubuntu machine | 16:18 |
| koshari | astro76 i suspect ir should but i dont have a patch cable handy at the moment, | 16:18 |
| SeaPhor | mona3: in gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you can specify in "Section 'Screen'" to "Depth 16" instead of 24 (or whatever yours is) then save the file | 16:19 |
| cjae | k whats going on with nautilus when I try to open a mp3 and or any file really it turns the file icon into a plain text looking file and then will not open it at all | 16:20 |
| scout_ | i have 2 ISP's, each with a gateway/firewall. i need to place a router infront of them to route traffic the the proper gateway. vpn traffic on one ISP, all other traffic on the other. if my network is 192.168.1.0/24 can i keep the gateways on the same network or will they need to each be their own networks? meaning traffic first hits router with ip 192.168.1.1, and then it needs to hop to ISP1, can that ISP1 firewall/gateway be a 192.168.1.x ip? | 16:20 |
| zvacet | _urlwolf__ : so,xserver i running and you must have xserver.conf | 16:20 |
| zionpsyfer | SuRfDeMoN: in the file manager, type this into the address bar: SMB://machinename | 16:20 |

| noob13 | Stev1: the error suggests u ARE root. just something else is failing. or is the problem that you really can't sudo anything? | 16:23 |

| Stev1 | which is my problem.. cannot run sudo | 16:33 |
| mechdave | jasperhax0r, you can download it from http://www.distrowatch.com | 16:33 |
| ivze | Good time of the day! 7.10 - installed virtualbox -> lost ALSA audio. Any ideas where to dig?=) | 16:33 |
| nickrud | Stev1 you need to reboot into the special mode I just explained. Write down the steps, and do them exactly and you will be fine | 16:34 |
| Stev1 | ok.. | 16:34 |
| zvacet | Stev1 :As I said boot in recovery mode and there you are superuser.Just type command I write | 16:34 |
| Stev1 | ah.. ok.. so once in recovery, type this | 16:34 |
| jasperhax0r | sure i can download it but it doesnt do me any good if it just sits there on my hard drive not being written to disk | 16:34 |
| Stev1 | adduser santhony admin | 16:34 |
| Stev1 | you agree nick? | 16:34 |
| mechdave | Stev1, you will need to boot into rescue mode and then in a terminal type adduser <username> <group> | 16:35 |
| nickrud | jasperhax0r any particular reason you want to use the command line installer? | 16:35 |
| jasperhax0r | i just wish X would stop being an idiot and do more than 640x480 | 16:35 |
| Stev1 | ok.. I saw your info too Nick.. | 16:35 |
| jasperhax0r | so i can use the gui installer | 16:35 |

| Stev1 | thanks guys.. be back in 10 mins.. gonna try that... | 16:35 |
| mechdave | jasperhax0r, you cannot burn it to dvd? | 16:36 |
| jasperhax0r | dont have disks or a good burner | 16:36 |
| nickrud | pjv the guys in #kubuntu know more about kde than we do | 16:36 |

| mona3 | is it possible to mount an .iso file from the gui? | 16:37 |
| nickrud | mona3 install gmountiso | 16:37 |
| mechdave | jasperhax0r, try Ctrl+Alt+plus_sign and see if it will change resolution for you | 16:38 |
| Ximal | I need help adjusting my screen resolution... I connected the Insignia 32 inch lcd HD TV I have using the svga cable to my desktop and now all I can do is 1024x768 ... I wanted to know how to probe for the new monitor or adjust the screen res ... Anyone have a solution ? | 16:38 |
| jasperhax0r | nope | 16:38 |
| mechdave | mona3, not that I know of, I do it by sudo mount -t loop /path/to/iso /mnt | 16:38 |
| zvacet | Ximal : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 16:39 |
| mechdave | mona3, make that sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt | 16:39 |
| mona3 | ok | 16:39 |
| Ximal | zvacet ... 1 moment pls | 16:39 |
| * nickrud wonders what we're gonna do without dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to fix res issues | 16:40 | |
| mechdave | jasperhax0r, what video card you using? | 16:40 |
| zvacet | mona3 : install gmountiso as nickrud told you | 16:40 |

| zvacet | ib : dpkg --get-selections > installed-software | 16:41 |
| whombat | i have a problem with my acer notebook setting the cpu freq | 16:41 |
| whombat | cpu is centrino | 16:41 |

| Omarmatuer | do you have several hard drives ? | 16:45 |
| Omarmatuer | i had this too | 16:45 |
| nickrud | sirjulio not gonna claim I can talk you all the way through wireless, but lspci | grep -i wlan will tell you if the pci card has been recognized by the kernel. The info from that command is useful in setting up wireless, anyway | 16:45 |
| SeaPhor | nickrud, is dpkg~xorg going away? | 16:45 |
| zvacet | ib : sorry,I can not help you with that one | 16:45 |
| tijayz | no/ what happened, is I reinstalled ubuntu, and then copied all files (rsync'd) from old HD to a new one | 16:45 |

| zvacet | brfitzp : I think itis xmms | 16:54 |

| erUSUL | Berto: backports has it afaics | 16:54 |
| === frederik is now known as herbaliser | ||

| tijayz | so anyone has idea as far as the /dev/disk/{uuid} failed to mount question? | 16:56 |
| zvacet | brfitzp : system>admin> synaptic package manager | 16:56 |
| underscore | linxeh: thanks, much appreciated. | 16:56 |
| nickrud | tijayz you don't use /dev/disk/UUID as the syntax, it's UUID="uuid" | 16:56 |
| tijayz | well, i never did | 16:56 |
| nickrud | tijayz a reasonable assumption, from your question ;) | 16:57 |
| tijayz | it just said "/dev/disk/UUID' failed to mount and dropped to console | 16:57 |
| tijayz | while I didn't modify fstab at all | 16:57 |
| brfitzp | there's like 100 xmms things | 16:57 |
| nickrud | tijayz in the live cd, type blkid and compare the uuid's given with the ones in /etc/fstab | 16:57 |
| ethand | tijayz: i dont know the exacts, but the problem is with the uuid in /dev/disk/ and /media/sda fstab conflict...i believe the fix is to get the uuid from /media/sda and paste it into /dev/disk/uuid | 16:57 |

| amenado | scout_-> you are trying to bring up an interface that is already up | 17:30 |
| nickrud | Auctionedllama yep. But if your driver isn't installed correctly it won't work either. Doing this simply a troubleshooting step | 17:30 |

| Pelo | finished | 17:31 |
| Auctionedllama | nickrud: how do I fix this? my restricted drivers are enabled | 17:31 |
| nickrud | Auctionedllama did you do it while xserver-xgl is installed/running? That will always say that | 17:31 |
| scout_ | amenado, if i do a stop on the device and then bring it up, i get the same result. also, when i do a stop and type ip addr ls it still shows the same output | 17:31 |

| dmsuperman_ | Why is it that everybody seems to love KDE so much more than gnome? I was trying it out, and it didn't seem to have nearly as many great features as gnome. Is there some underlying reason I'm missing? Or is there some super-feature that I haven't found yet? | 17:32 |

| Clinteger | oh wow. it was nearly done with installing stuff, Pelo lol it just restarted >.< | 17:34 |
| nickrud | lartza_ the latest from nvidia *might* be better, depends on the chip and what they've done | 17:34 |

| nickrud | Auctionedllama not saying you should or shouldn't, just gives me somewhere to start | 17:38 |

| Auctionedllama | nickrud: I have been working for 5 days to get my card working, so after my 4th format, I installed the driver via restricted, and then from ATI and then it worked | 17:42 |
| amenado | sharperguy i have not done it myself, maybe you have to toy with xhost +ipaddresstodiplay_it_at | 17:42 |

| erUSUL | !virtualizers | mnemo | 18:18 |
| ubotu | mnemo: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 18:18 |
| Ashfire908 | transformers, that's offtopic, you could ask in #freenode maybe, but define "proxy" | 18:18 |
| Pelo | McJester, initiate the install ? you mean an upgrade ? , you can only upgrade to the next release in this case 7.04 , or ifyou are using hte lts to the next lts, but you can't upgrade and jump releases | 18:18 |
| PurpZeY | Can anyone help me out...I just did a fresh install of Gutsy, but my video card is only being picked up as a Vesa...I know there is a driver available, but restricted drivers manager says I don't need a restricted driver....How can I enable restricted drivers manager or setup my card right? It is an NVidia | 18:18 |

| malebria | My point is to make Alt Gr, I think it's Mod 2, Alt Gr + f become rightdoublequotemark | 18:19 |
| Pelo | McJester, from 6.10 you will either have to do the incremental updates until you get to 7.10, ie 2 more upgrades, or you clean install, I recommend clean intall, just put your /home folder on a seperate partitons | 18:19 |

| dmsuperman | 1)Delete all of these extra files, without touching any other files, and not having to do each by hand, and | 18:29 |
| dmsuperman | 2)This is optional, but change the partition from NTFS to EXT3 without moving or losing the data | 18:29 |
| linkmaster03 | lol @ netsplit | 18:29 |

| theuser1 | using g4l ghost for linux to make image file backup for my ext3 partition having the ubuntu os, error message i get is unable to read from image block 0 , g4l uses partiimage and that uses the dd comand i think..... any help? | 18:30 |
| zvacet | dmsuperman : you can not format witout losing data | 18:30 |
| jarred | dmsuperman: Those files are harmless and maybe at most 1kb 2 2kb and there is noway to delete those other than manually | 18:30 |
| tomm__ | nickrud: Was that directed at me? | 18:30 |
| zionpsyfer | dmsuperman: find /PATHTOROOTMEDIAFOLDER -name 'desktop.ini' | xargs -i rm {} | 18:30 |
| Auctionedllama | nickrud: all other commands besides that says everything is fine, which annoys me | 18:30 |
| jarred | they are pointless to delete as it would take lots of time | 18:30 |
| erUSUL | PurpZeY: ouch.... with that card on gutsy you can not use the prepackaged drivers you have to either use envy or install driver from nvidia.com (with the risks that both options have) | 18:30 |
| nickrud | tomm__ no, I've been struggling with Auctionedllama's ati issue | 18:30 |
| dmsuperman | zvacet, I figured as much, so I wasn't expecting much. I just figured that since they're somewhat similar it might be possible | 18:30 |
| erUSUL | PurpZeY: maybe you are better upgrading to hardy ??? | 18:31 |
| PurpZeY | erUSUL: Hardy will support this card more readily? | 18:31 |
| zionpsyfer | dmsuperman: do the same with the thumbs.db files and you're golden. | 18:31 |

| jeffimperial | FastZ: Thanks a lot. really. gotta run now. deadline's in 25 mintues and still have 17MB of uploads and deletions to do with a darn website..thanks again | 18:31 |
| dmsuperman | zionpsyfer, Where might I specify a verbose output, or a place to log, so I can be sure I haven't lost any extra files | 18:31 |

| dmsuperman | zionpsyfer, Just for my own curiosity, I like to learn.

| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: evening here ;) but morning to you | 18:49 |
| Zelta | okay | 18:49 |
| Zelta | also, how can I mount .cue/.bin images on a virtual disk? | 18:49 |
| nickrud | unop ok, the limitation on \+ is the length of the command line, correct? | 18:49 |
| erUSUL | theuser1: something out of normal on your disk setup? are you usiong raid or lvm or something??? | 18:50 |
| erUSUL | theuser1: is the partition mounted or in use?? | 18:50 |
| theuser1 | erUSUL no . i dont know what it is | 18:50 |
| theuser1 | erUSUL g4l uses a cd and boot | 18:50 |
| erUSUL | !iso | Zelta | 18:50 |
| ubotu | Zelta: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 18:50 |
| nickrud | morning Jack_Sparrow | 18:50 |
| theuser1 | erUSUL i used it before. worked good. until i install hardy beta | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud, morning | 18:50 |
| theuser1 | erUSUL may be my partiimage is old version? | 18:51 |
| Zelta | erUSUL: I'm not talking about .iso files.... I'm talking about .cue/.bin | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, will that work on bin/cue as well? | 18:51 |
| erUSUL | theuser1: may be but nor know for sure... | 18:51 |
| unop | nickrud, sure, ARG_MAX does influence \+ .. but find will compile the command again if the number of files in + exceeds ARG_MAX .. so you generally never run into "argument list too long" | 18:51 |
| nickrud | unop ok, thanks. Reasonable that some geek found that annoying and built in a workaround ;) | 18:51 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: i used the factoid for the image convresion tools part... | 18:52 |
| Zelta | And I don't want to convert the .cue/.bin files to an .iso because the files need to be a raw duplicate of the CD | 18:52 |
| unop | nickrud, it's worth mentioning this is only guaranteed in GNU's find - other finds on other systems behave different | 18:52 |
| erUSUL | Zelta: for mounting you have to convert the bin to iso first or use something like acetone iso | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL, agreed.. just curious about how you could do it without converting. it is a basic image file | 18:52 |
| Zelta | yeah, but I don't want to convert it | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Zelta, you may not have any choice | 18:53 |
| theuser1 | erUSUL how can i be sure its not a hardisk fault? | 18:53 |
| nickrud | Zelta convert a copy, maybe? | 18:53 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: i think there are fuse "filesystems" plugins that do just that (acetone iso is a gui) | 18:53 |

| nickrud | Paddie apt-zip does that, but there's a bug. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-zip/+bug/203994 for the workaround | 19:04 |
| Paddie | Seveas: How about repositories update? (sudo aptitude update) | 19:05 |
| nickrud | zoobox hm, file a bug against pacman it shouldn't do that | 19:05 |
| Seveas | Paddie, just copy over /var/lib/apt/lists | 19:05 |
| zoobox | nickrud: yeah only window manager and the focused application should be able to listen to the keyboard, but it isn't so... I thinkg pacman shouldn't be able to listen to it while it is not in focus, even if its programmer want to.... :/ | 19:05 |
| Syntex_ | i need help in IRC | 19:06 |
| Syntex_ | :S | 19:06 |

| melly1979 | someone whisper me | 19:07 |
| melly1979 | i want to know of some of the examples of hackering | 19:07 |
| Seveas | melly1979, you've been warned at least twice now. No offtopic talk in here. Last warning | 19:07 |
| nickrud | melly1979 type /j #ubuntu-offtopic that's the place to ask that question | 19:07 |
| melly1979 | off topic talk? | 19:07 |
| melly1979 | seveas, im confused | 19:08 |

| ffm | erUSUL: Ah. I told my client to hide j/p in this channel. | 19:10 |
| nickrud | Paddie nope, still a bug. | 19:10 |
| Seveas | clincks, errr... creating a user named mysql is a bad bad idea. That username is reserved for the mysql server packages | 19:10 |
| luke_ | hi there is there a movie management software for linux? | 19:10 |
| erUSUL | ffm: mine too but i use tab completion if it does not complete it is gone ;P | 19:10 |
| Paddie | nickrud: oh, it tells about the patch...ok | 19:10 |
| clincks | Seveas, this will be the user that run mysql later on . Bad idea ? | 19:11 |
| Seveas | clincks, and 'man useradd', you need -m or -M (forgot which). Or rather you should use adduser instead of useradd | 19:11 |
| Paddie | Seveas: where do I take the lists to copy over /var/lib/apt/lists? | 19:11 |
| Seveas | clincks, yes. the package will try to create that user. | 19:11 |
| nickrud | Paddie yup, I filed that one (one of the very few that I actually could offer a fix :) | 19:11 |
| Seveas | Paddie, /var/lib/apt/lists on another machine | 19:11 |
| Seveas | hmm, miniature netsplit :) | 19:11 |
| clincks | ok, thanks | 19:12 |
| Paddie | Seveas: does "another machine" have to be Ubuntu? | 19:12 |
| Seveas | Paddie, yes | 19:12 |
| ffm | Seveas: That's strange, | 19:12 |
| millertime_018 | will someone help me? im having a problem with a game, sauerbraten | 19:12 |
| millertime_018 | i cant get it to start | 19:12 |
| Finnish | How can I stretch a layer in GIMP? | 19:12 |
| ffm | !dontask | millertime_018 | 19:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dontask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:12 |
| Paddie | Seveas: Isn't there another way? Cause another machine is Windows XP :( | 19:12 |
| rajiv_nair | millertime_018: which gane? | 19:12 |
| Finnish | Like rightwards | 19:12 |
| rajiv_nair | game* | 19:12 |
| ffm | millertime_018: Don't ask to ask, just say your question. | 19:12 |
| Seveas | Paddie, hook the machine up to the internet and run apt-get update :) | 19:13 |
| matt444 | what package do i install to get NFS shares? | 19:13 |
| millertime_018 | sauerbraten | 19:13 |
| |Debian| | Evening. | 19:13 |
| unop_ | matt444, nfs is provided by the kernel | 19:13 |
| Seveas | matt444, nfs-kernel-server if you want to create an nfs share, mount (installed by default) if you want to mount one | 19:13 |
| edward_ | Finnish: layer/scale layer | 19:14 |
| millertime_018 | when i click it the screen goes black like the game is about to start | 19:14 |
| Seveas | millertime_018, disable compiz and try again | 19:14 |
| nickrud | Finnish or layer->boundary size | 19:14 |
| millertime_018 | oh. ok | 19:14 |
| matt444 | unop_: when i try to share a folder, I do NOT get NFS as an option. Only SMB. | 19:14 |
| nitin | murlidhar but y is this problem only persistent in ubuntu? | 19:14 |
| millertime_018 | no it still didnt work | 19:14 |
| unop_ | matt444, see what seveas just said - perhaps that helps | 19:14 |
| rajiv_nair | millertime_018: run game from terminal and see what it says | 19:15 |
| Paddie | Seveas: I can't, that's the problem | 19:15 |
| Finnish | Sorry, I explained it wrong. I mean like stretching the top right, while the floor stays still | 19:15 |
| mkultras | yeah you need to launch something in terminal so u can see the error output if you have problems | 19:16 |
| Ximal | I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org and selected all resolutions and it screwed up the xserver to where I can't boot into a visual gui now ... Even when rebooting X server through uubuntu's ctrl-alt-BackSpace command.. So is there another way to start linux up through it's command line so that ALL things including xserver will boot using 1 resoltuion I set ? This is my last try and if I can't make it work I will loose all of m | 19:16 |
| murlidhar | nitin, i am not sure i am a noobie .btw is it only in ubuntu? | 19:16 |
| millertime_018 | how do i run the game from the terminal? | 19:16 |
| rajiv_nair | just type in game name into terminal | 19:16 |
| mkultras | you type the name in | 19:16 |
| Ximal | And by command line I mean at boot when u press C or E ... not after starting the kernel up by selecting the version of Ubuntu u want to boot.. | 19:16 |
| nitin | yeah because earlier i was using opensuse and had no problems | 19:16 |
| rajiv_nair | should work 90% of the time (if the games binary's name is the same i.e) | 19:16 |
| nitin | but i just love ubuntu now | 19:17 |
| mkultras | the game might not be in your $PATH so you might need to cd into the directory the game is in | 19:17 |
| nitin | its too cool | 19:17 |
| nitin | :) | 19:17 |
| Orbixx | How do I get a nice Widget on Ubuntu? | 19:17 |
| ffm | Orbixx: What do you mean? | 19:17 |
| Finnish | It's Perspective-tool! | 19:17 |
| murlidhar | nitin, also it is better if u ask ur question rather than giving a link to visit | 19:17 |
| Orbixx | Just, a widget. | 19:17 |
| matt444 | What is the "address" for NFS shares? | 19:17 |
| Orbixx | I've seen other desktops with widgets. | 19:17 |
| scarygary | Does anyone know if there's a patch available for the native rt2870(D-link DWA-140) driver to make it compile in hardy? | 19:17 |
| nitin | ok | 19:17 |
| nitin | I got this output and the start_stop_count was increasing rapidly. So, I applied hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda and now its under control. But what about the | 19:17 |
| Seveas | Orbixx, install the screenlets package | 19:17 |
| nitin | "SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1" thing? I mean thefailures? The laptop is under warranty, so should I opt for a new HDD?.Also, will this bug get removed in 8.04? I mean I recently shifted fromopensuse to ubuntu and love this distro and expect this bug to beremoved | 19:17 |
| ffm | Orbixx: Are you using GNOME or KDE? | 19:18 |
| Orbixx | ffm: Gnome. | 19:18 |

| millertime_018 | ok i did, it gave some error reports in the terminal do you want those? | 19:19 |
| murlidhar | nitin, since the ubuntu hardy is coming there are a lot of developers that aren't present since they are working hard in getting hardy released in time | 19:19 |

| rajiv_nair | nothing useful as far as i see it | 19:25 |
| rajiv_nair | must be a bug in the game | 19:25 |
| rajiv_nair | did you try googling for it? | 19:25 |
| alarmo | odder, it is just that they changed for a new Xorg, as far as I know... and it does most thing automagically... unfortunately the xorg automagically gets it wrong :) | 19:25 |

| geu | unop_ yes it should actually be sdb1 it is a partition on a hardrive with a grub bootloader that loads the vmlinuz file I copied there from an ubuntu install iso ( I copied the rest of the data too) | 19:28 |

| Dowah | Having a serious problem. Disk boot failure. Twice in one month. formatted disks two weeks ago., I have 2 hard drives. Both couldn't go bad all at once. Seems like this happens after I do an automatic Update of the system .. Any Help For this??? | 19:34 |
| nitin | bye all | 19:34 |
| cool | i have installed syslinux on Flash drive & copied all Ubuntu files on it from iso. But when i boot through it. i get a "boot: " promt. what is missing here? | 19:35 |
| usantu | soap cast not connecting. can anybody help ??? | 19:35 |
| Dowah | I don't want to return to WIndows does anyone know what might be causing this? | 19:36 |
| Sarthor^^ | Hello, i want to configure the server as pppoe server, where can i found the manual for this?? i am using ubuntu, | 19:37 |
| will | Dowah: so Windows still works then? Ruling out drive failure? | 19:37 |
| Dowah | I dont have windows installed at all | 19:37 |
| Dowah | Using Live cd | 19:37 |
| will | Oh | 19:38 |
| Noname_ | how do i edit a file as root? I right click and open with gedit I think i know how to do it in the command line but how do you do it without the command line | 19:38 |
| will | Perhaps you should run a drive utility to rule out drive failure | 19:38 |
| Seveas | Noname_, gksudo gedit filename | 19:38 |
| Dowah | My bios wont even register drives now | 19:38 |
| bandit | i can't upgrade to RC ....can someone tell me some tips ? | 19:38 |
| Dowah | Win98 startup disk says not fat partion | 19:38 |
| will | Oh, sounds like the drives bad then, if BIOS won't register it, it's likely nothing to be with Ubuntu | 19:38 |
| ironfoot_495 | Hi I'm interested in finding the best php editor to work with files is there such a editior? | 19:39 |
| Seveas | Dowah, your cables or drive controller may be broken then | 19:39 |
| Dowah | needs to be formatted again | 19:39 |
| Seveas | !best | ironfoot_495 | 19:39 |
| millertime_018 | how do i post on ubuntu forums? | 19:39 |
| ubotu | ironfoot_495: 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. | 19:39 |
| will | Formatting doesn't matter to BIOS. | 19:39 |
| ompaul | Noname_, gksu gedit /path/to/files | 19:39 |
| Dowah | this is second time | 19:39 |
| Seveas | ompaul, about 5 minutes late :p | 19:39 |
| Dowah | I formatted and all was weel agin till this morning | 19:39 |
| ompaul | millertime_018, ask in #ubuntuforums but it should be kinda obvious | 19:39 |
| Seveas | Dowah, your cables or drive controller may be broken then <-- check those. | 19:39 |
| Seveas | especially if your bios doesn't see the drives, that rules out OS problems | 19:39 |
| ompaul | Seveas, I'll go back to sleep ;-) | 19:40 |
| ironfoot_495 | ubotu ok | 19:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ok - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:40 |
| Noname_ | that a command for the commmand line i was thinking there was probably an easier way | 19:40 |
| will | Dowah: If you go to your drive manufacturers website, you should be able to get a bootable cd image/floopy to test your drive. Do that after you check connections, etc. | 19:40 |
| Dowah | Ok will cange out the cable | 19:40 |
| earthmeLon | I am having troubles with a partition of mine. Is there anybody around that is familiar with fdisk? | 19:40 |
| Dowah | Wiil ok thnaks | 19:40 |
| Seveas | Noname_, editing as root should hardly ever be needed, no need to make it too easy :) | 19:40 |
| periscope | is there a program I could use to organize all my music into folders by album then those into folders by artist? the way itunes does on windows | 19:40 |
| Dowah | will thanks | 19:40 |
| bandit | how can i upgrade from 7.04 to RC ? i have some errors | 19:40 |
| Seveas | bandit, update to 7.10 first | 19:40 |
| will | Dowah: , you can press TAB to fill out the rest of my name, :P | 19:41 |
| periscope | because I would love to automate that organization somehow, with 6k songs it is tedious to do | 19:41 |
| bandit | Seveas, can you guid me ? | 19:41 |
| Noname_ | just seems like there should be a way to do it without command line | 19:41 |
| Seveas | !upgrade | bandit | 19:41 |
| ubotu | bandit: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 19:41 |
| bandit | !upgrade | 19:41 |

| matt444 | where are the NFS logs located? | 19:43 |
| bandit | it's the last version | 19:43 |
| HenryBen | Seveas: downloaded everything, supposedly installing the upgrades, got as far as "stopping bluetooth services" and has been sitting there for nearly an hour | 19:43 |
| bandit | i have 7.10 | 19:43 |
| Starseed | 8.04 is nice | 19:43 |
| Seveas | bandit, you just said you were on 7.04. Upgrading to 7.10 isn't this fast. | 19:44 |
| Noname_ | i did gksu gedit etc/samba/smb.conf and it brought a blank file what did I do wrong | 19:44 |
| Seveas | HenryBen, run this: ps f -e | 19:44 |
| Seveas | HenryBen, and pastebin the output | 19:44 |

| earthmeLon | When I installed Ubuntu, I used fdisk to change a partition of mine. My HDD had two 250g partitions; One for windows and one for where I install my games to. The one with my games was 1 cylinder over the boundaries of my HDD and I fixed it using fdisk. Now the partition is unknown and I would love to get it back working. Any suggestions? | 19:44 |
| bandit | don't work in my case | 19:44 |
| Seveas | !doesn't work | bandit | 19:45 |
| ubotu | bandit: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 19:45 |
| Dowah | Will thanks again gonna check cables . I have HD testing software already . | 19:45 |
| joshritger | Is there anyway to get back to the desktop while in a game without closing the game? | 19:45 |
| HenryBen | Seveas: sorry. i have completely forgotten what pastebin means. where do i go? | 19:45 |
| Seveas | !pastebin | HenryBen | 19:45 |
| ubotu | HenryBen: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 19:45 |

| HenryBen | Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63771/ | 19:46 |
| ompaul | !envy | 19:46 |
| ubotu | envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 19:46 |

| Seveas | HenryBen, excellent, but it may be moving in the wrong (well, not entirely wrong, but it'll stop too soon) direction. Ping me when it's done so we can check if it broke | 19:55 |

| shawnr | ubotu: Thanks, will try that channel | 19:59 |
| ompaul | kyleky, maybe look for typos | 19:59 |
| odder | isn't it ctrl+o what saves files in nano? | 19:59 |
| Ximal | ughh... brb .. thanks seveas.. i'll try the ctrl x thing.. brb | 19:59 |
| kyleky | sudo ls doesnt return anything | 19:59 |
| Itaku | odder: just do ctrl+x and itll ask if you want to save | 19:59 |
| Seveas | Itaku, ctrl+shift+u1234 (replace 1234 with any unicode codepoint) | 19:59 |
| earthmeLon | When I installed Ubuntu, I used fdisk to change a partition of mine. My HDD had two 250g partitions; One for windows and one for where I install my games to. The one with my games was 1 cylinder over the boundaries of my HDD and I fixed it using fdisk. Now the partition is unknown and I would love to get it back working. Any suggestions? | 19:59 |
| Itaku | thanks | 19:59 |
| odder | Itaku: yeah, I know, I'm just wondering.. I've always used ctrl+o :) | 20:00 |
| Itaku | and is there a good website making program that can build sites in PHP? | 20:00 |
| Seveas | odder, ctrl+o saves, ctrl+x quits and asks to save | 20:00 |
| earthmeLon | Itaku vim ^_^ | 20:00 |
| Seveas | earthmeLon, ZZ for you then :) | 20:00 |
| Itaku | thanks earthmeLon :) | 20:00 |
| Itaku | you should be +o | 20:00 |
| Itaku | youre awesome | 20:00 |
| earthmeLon | Hardly, lol | 20:00 |
| odder | Seveas: I know :) it's another person who asked how to save files in nano, and you all told him/her its ctrl+x instead of ctrl+o | 20:01 |
| Dowah | will: left dam!! I wanted to thank him for the help. My disk boot failuer was just the cable. | 20:01 |
| DNPG | earthmeLon: did you try to toggle partition type using fdisk? | 20:01 |
| earthmeLon | I like vim because you can use it remotely through ssh and it color codes everything for you. So, you can save and not have to re-load (like with ftp) and you can see easily | 20:01 |
| odder | Dowah: you can always leave him a memo here on freenode if he's registered (and you, too) :) | 20:02 |
| earthmeLon | No DNPG. I know nothing about fdisk and didnt want to create further problems | 20:02 |
| earthmeLon | You're suggesting I open the partition and "toggle partition type"? | 20:02 |
| Itaku | wait vim is a terminal thing. i dont know php but i want to make a site in PHP with a GUI app like iWeb but in php. is that possible? | 20:02 |
| Dowah | odder ty .How do I find out if he is registered? | 20:02 |
| fo_x86 | any one help me get the man 3 pages? | 20:02 |
| Seveas | Itaku, try bluefish | 20:02 |
| Itaku | k | 20:02 |
| earthmeLon | Oh, no. Vim requires you to know PHP. Sorry, didnt know that's what you meant | 20:02 |
| Itaku | thanks | 20:02 |
| Seveas | Dowah, /msg nickserv info nickname_here | 20:02 |
| Itaku | you should be moderator on here | 20:03 |
| Dowah | ok | 20:03 |
| DNPG | earthmeLon: if the partition type is unknown, maybe identifying the partition type will solve the problem... I hope. | 20:03 |
| s0ftmachine | I'm using LVPM to try to install 7.04 to a 2nd harddrive that I formatted to ext3 using partitionmagic...It doesn't seem to show up in my boot menu after I finish transfering from wubi...any help please? | 20:03 |

| earthmeLon | DNPG, when I open the hdd in fdisk, and then list the partitions, can I get the sizes of the partitions instead of start/end? | 20:08 |
| Ax-Ax | my computer doesn't have anything like sda or scd in /dev/, but /dev/sda1 is mounted. what can i do? should i reboot? | 20:08 |
| Doug52392 | I would assume it's a year out of date, I haven't used this computer in over a year, or upgraded it. But it was working when I tried it a few months ago. | 20:08 |
| earthmeLon | Ax-Ax, You could try a re-boot. ALso, there is a command to remount all your hdd's. Let me see if I can remember it | 20:09 |
| gilster32 | I have an mp3 flash player that only supports MTP mode. None of my audio programs pick it up automatically but when i do lsusb...i see it there. and MTP-Detect picks it up at least to some degree | 20:09 |

I have GeForce 6x series card on my laptop and with nvidia-glx-new I have broken virtual terminals (mangled flickering color when I try to switch), so I installed nvidia-glx but now it seems I have no 3d acceleration. :( | 20:14 |
| Seveas | matthew_, *always* use visudo. It won't let you write a messed up file to disk | 20:14 |
| noob13 | Doug52392: assuming you have net on the machine.. | 20:14 |
| matthew_ | Seveas: I did use visudo | 20:14 |

| Seveas | matthew_, boot from a live cd, mount and chroot into your rootpartition and fix /etc/sudoers | 20:16 |
| will | mutable: I think you want to be using the newer one. :) | 20:16 |
| earthmeLon | mumu, not sure, but I do know that you can install realplayer in Ubuntu very easily. | 20:16 |
| matthew_ | Seveas: Yes, on accident. regardless, i didn't come here to get preached out. i came here to fix it. | 20:16 |
| === erle64- is now known as erle- | ||
| DNPG | earthmeLon: no, don't edit it. I didn't find a way of vieweing partitions size on fdisk. I believe you just need to change the partition type using "t" and then choose the number of the partition. you may see the number of the partition using "p". | 20:17 |
| mutable | will: And what about that problem with terminals? I'm currently reading big forum post on ubuntuforums. When I installed 7.04 I had no problems, it appeared after upgrade to 7.10 (with nvidia-glx-new). | 20:17 |
| DNPG | earthmeLon: then you just need to choose the partition type choosing a code from the list "L" | 20:17 |

| DNPG | earthmeLon: I believe you just need to identify it as "Linux", the code is 83, then it can be any file system supported by your installation. | 20:42 |

| earthmeLon | DNPG, It doesnt seem like fdisk is actually changing the partitions. My sda2 didnt change to NTFS in qtparted, and neither did sda7 change back to ext3 | 20:43 |

| Seveas | matt___, wordpress is full of security bugs. Drupal less so | 20:48 |
| matt___ | Seveas: so does drupal also "perform" better? | 20:48 |
| Seveas | depends on your definition of perform | 20:48 |

| mvno_subscriber | tomd123: yes, same problem | 20:48 |
| Seveas | sagredo, every folder is a potential mountpoint | 20:49 |
| Seveas | sagredo, use 'mount' without arguments to see current mounts | 20:49 |

| Seveas | sagredo, mount -o loop -t filesystem-on-the-iso-file /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint | 20:53 |

| BCBudLover83 | basically there is an option in most bioses that will stop any software from writing to the boot sector for protection from boot sector viruses. but when you try and install an OS, the OS (in this case ubuntu) installs grub and it gets told to run from the boot sector. the boot sector is basically a spot on the harddrive that tells your computer where to find a boot loader and etc | 21:14 |

| jvxr | SeaPhor, reinstall. uncheck the box to format /home | 21:15 |
| BCBudLover83 | if you have boot sector protection on, ubuntu wont be able to write grub to the boot sector properly. that could be causing your problem | 21:15 |
| sathya | when i am connected to internet via a broad band connection, hw do i ssh to another comp if i knwo its ip | 21:15 |
| scout_ | anyone? this is an easy question, how do you keep ip forwarding on after reboot? | 21:16 |
| tomd123 | ssh user@ip | 21:16 |
| HymnToLife | sathya: ssh ip | 21:16 |
| sp33dy | scout_, you mean on your router/ | 21:16 |
| sp33dy | ? | 21:16 |
| sathya | tried but its not working | 21:16 |
| HymnToLife | yeah, and use if it's different than your current one | 21:16 |
| sathya | i trie telnet also | 21:16 |
| xeer | how can I get 32bit python 2.4 libraries for my amd64 system? | 21:16 |
| will | LOL, I see why no one else has taken the name 'Will' my name is being highlighted everywhere. :) | 21:16 |
| tomd123 | sathya: specify the port also | 21:16 |
| xtknight | xeer, oh why 32bit python? | 21:16 |
| Coniferous | that worked great xtknight | 21:16 |
| xtknight | Coniferous, glad to hear | 21:16 |
| Coniferous | thanks | 21:16 |
| sathya | ok.. | 21:16 |
| SeaPhor | zvacet, wont that also auto install another /home directory? | 21:16 |
| xeer | xtknight: my application depends on the 32bit build. | 21:17 |
| scout_ | sp33dy, sure, i have setup an ubuntu router for dual-wan connections. but after each reboot i have to echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. i used to remember where to set this but no longer do. | 21:17 |
| jvxr | anyone using toshiba laptop with phoenix bios ? if so how do u set the lcd brightness.. ? | 21:17 |
| xtknight | xeer, the best option is to install a 32bit chroot and build your app within the 32bit chroot | 21:17 |
| scout_ | sp33dy, startup script somewhere i am sure i just place that in there | 21:17 |
| zvacet | SeaPhor : no it will install OS at root partition | 21:17 |
| scout_ | sp33dy, unless you meant abou thow to keep the default gw in route | 21:17 |
| xtknight | xeer, installing 32bit python libs is possible also though by extracting i386 debs from packages.ubuntu.com into /usr/lib32, most likely | 21:17 |
| kyleky | I`d like to test if I can connect to a mssql database from my server.. what would be easiest way.. I need to get hardaccess so I can install the php extensions for it, but I cant do that till monday.. id just like to test to see if i can connect, login, and select my databse | 21:17 |

| BCBudLover83 | @jvxr usually on your notebook keyboard there will be other pictures on the key that you can use while holding down the Fn key | 21:18 |
| millertime_018 | please help me | 21:18 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, yes | 21:18 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, as long as that is a linux partition | 21:18 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, you running compiz? | 21:18 |
| BCBudLover83 | @jvxr on mine, i hold down Fn and press the down arrow key | 21:18 |
| jvxr | @BCBudLover, yes but the brightness is set only for each session, | 21:18 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Yup. I just mounted that partition with knoppix and it is the partition that Hardy just installed | 21:18 |
| millertime_018 | yea | 21:18 |
| jvxr | if you logout/ sleep / hibernate its back to 100 % brightness.. | 21:19 |
| jvxr | and its glaring bright | 21:19 |
| sathya | nick/ sathya.phoenic | 21:19 |
| jvxr | its Fn+F6/7 for me | 21:19 |
| BCBudLover83 | weird, even when the notebook isn't plugged in? | 21:19 |
| SeaPhor | zvacet, will that take-out/uninstall Envy? (hope so) and my other installed programs? (hope not) | 21:19 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Hmm. When I do setup (hd0) though, it says it doesn't see /boot/grub/stage1... Any ideas? | 21:19 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, you need to tell player to use X11 to play the movie. It's a compiz issue | 21:19 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, hmm setup installs it to the mbr right? | 21:20 |
| jvxr | BCBudLover, I usally work with it plugged one | 21:20 |
| jvxr | on* | 21:20 |
| millertime_018 | how do i do that? | 21:20 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Yup, I believe so. | 21:20 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, well you need to specify the right --root-directory to the grub-install command. --root-directory needs to be set to the directroy ABOVE /boot | 21:20 |
| sp33dy | milardovich, please append or prefix the users name that you are talking to, it gets very noisey in here, hard to follow | 21:20 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, ^^ | 21:20 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, also, you need to go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Output modules | 21:20 |
| === cellofellow_ is now known as cellofellow | ||
| milardovich | :-p no problem | 21:21 |
| sp33dy | and select X11 Video Output. | 21:21 |
| zvacet | SeaPhor : if you do ffesh install it will unistall programs but you will keep settings on your home partition | 21:21 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Right. I set the root directory to (hd0,0) which is sda1, where Hardy install put all the files. However, during installation it said that it couldn't install grub. Does anything need to go onto the partition for grub? | 21:21 |
| jvxr | @BCBudLover, I use a a105-s4334 its around a year old with he latest bios updates | 21:21 |
| erat123 | has anyone made a script for a LiveUsbPendrivePersistent install for ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| xeer | xtknight: I have the i386 package for python2.4, how would I extract the dependancies? | 21:21 |
| BCBudLover83 | i remember reading something about a program u can install to get more power management options. i found it on ubuntu brainstorm, im trying to find it again | 21:21 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, hmm well i'm not too familiar with using the setup cmd as i always do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt/myhardypartition" | 21:21 |
| xtknight | xeer, if you're trying to use 32bit python dev libraries on a 64bit machine i really dont know how to do that | 21:22 |
| jvxr | @erat123: try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 21:22 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Alright, well, I'll just try that then! :-D | 21:22 |
| cirkit | has anyone been able to change the Ubuntu icon that shows in the "Applications" menu by default? I want to change it to Tux ... I understand you have to change the "distributor-logo.png" file .. but there are several directories with this same file. Which one points to "Ubuntu" logo? | 21:22 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, i think that should do it | 21:22 |
| jvxr | i used the tools they have to install 8.04 on my laptop | 21:22 |
| s0ftmachine | I have ubuntu installed on my 2nd harddrive and I can't get it to boot. I just changed my harddrive boot order, and the os shows up in grub, but then tells me "no such partition" when I go to boot it...does anyone have any idea what is going on here? | 21:23 |
| jvxr | @ BCBudLover83 ok | 21:23 |
| xtknight | xeer, i strongly recommend trying the chroot method, otherwise you may have to set environment variables to where you extracted the 32bit libs and everytihng | 21:23 |
| sp33dy | cirkit, /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png | 21:23 |
| sp33dy | as far as i am aware | 21:23 |
| Lynet | Is anyone working on a package for open-vm-tools? I can't find it in the repositories (or perhaps it is under a different name?) | 21:24 |
| millertime_018 | away... | 21:25 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, you fix it? | 21:25 |
| sp33dy | the workaround I gave you seems to work on practically every sysyem running compiz-fusion | 21:25 |
| millertime_018 | no you didnt tell me how | 21:25 |
| sp33dy | i did | 21:26 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Hmm. It gave me something like: This is the contents of the device map /media/sda1/boot/grub/device.map. Check if its correct and run again | 21:26 |
| xtknight | xeer, if you realy want to extract 32bit python debs then you can use "mc" (midnight commander, get it thru apt-get) or the far more clumsy method of "ar x filename.deb", tar xzvf data.tar.gz | 21:26 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, also, you need to go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Output modules | 21:26 |
| sp33dy | and select X11 Video Output. | 21:26 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, (fd0) /dev/fd0 and (hd0) /dev/sda | 21:26 |
| xeer | xtknight: nice, ty | 21:26 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, Should I just rerun it again? | 21:26 |

| live2k4 | anyone can tell me how to make ubuntu mount a ntfs usb drive ? | 21:26 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, try "sudo chroot /media/sda1" and then "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" with no rootdir parameter | 21:26 |
| sp33dy | millertime_018, you got that? | 21:27 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, it might be fine as it was, if that was the only 'warning' it gave you. but chroot is a good idea also | 21:27 |
| unop | Lynet, there is some indication of a merge with debian experimental, not sure if it has made it's way into the ubuntu repositories yet. http://merges.ubuntu.com/o/open-vm-tools/ | 21:27 |
| Lynet | unop: Thanks. | 21:27 |
| alex | Hi! | 21:28 |
| fxfitz | xtknight, When I chroot, grub isn't installed so I can't use grub-install. It's telling me to use apt-get (but I don't have any internet when I'm using Knoppix for some reason) | 21:28 |
| plazia | If I currently have my windows system on a RAID 0 stripe and I boot from them. (I also have an IDE drive that Ubuntu is installed on) Ubuntu boots fine but I can't access the raid 0 stripe inside Ubuntu. is there some way to do this? do I need to load some sorta Nvidia raid driver module? or is it a boot time parameter thingy? (please don't tell me I have to recompile the kernel or something LOL) | 21:28 |
| amenado | live2k4-> try sudo mount /dev/sdbX /mnt -t ntfs-3g where sdbX is where ever your usb ntfs partiton is | 21:28 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, oh that's odd. well the previous command SHOULD have worked | 21:28 |
| xtknight | fxfitz, oh you might need to do sudo /usr/sbin/grub-install or something but i dont know if thisll do it | 21:28 |
| live2k4 | how can i see were the drive is | 21:28 |

| amenado | live2k4-> does yours have ntfs-3g support? | 21:37 |
| spee3dy | s_, you need to tell your video player to put output through X11 | 21:37 |

| Rolandito | hi | 21:53 |
| pcAngel | plazia: I had to do the same thing a few weeks ago, you'll have to manually install dmraid and do some configuration before running the ubuntu installer | 21:53 |
| Rolandito | i need help.. | 21:53 |
| Rolandito | :) | 21:53 |
| MrSteve | plazia -- maybe need a Raid driver .. Raid controller under Linux.. | 21:53 |

| Rolandito | w8 | 21:54 |
| plazia | MrSteve, pcAngel Lynet right thanks for the advice. I'll have to look into this | 21:54 |

| cppnewbie | im looking for drivers for my sound card before installing ubuntu (wanna be ready), and it seems there is no official driver for it, is there some kind of substitute or some kind of open source driver that can at least use its basic functions etc.? | 21:56 |

| floating | hI. i am trying to setup bandwidth limiter wondershaper,and i have a problem. i dont have a entry eth0 in my /etc/network/interfaces. theres only 2 lines. auto lo and iface lo inet loopback ..i should add lines after the eth0(which isnt there) | 21:56 |
| mnemo | cppnewbie: have you tried booting the ubuntu live cd on the relevant machine? | 21:56 |
| spee3dy | cppnewbie, generaly ubuntu will just work with sound | 21:56 |
| Lynet | plazia: No, you probably don't need to reinstall unless you want to boot Linux off the raid. If you just want to get access to the raid you need dmraid to find/activate the raid array and then you can mount it like any other partition. | 21:57 |
| MrSteve | the normal Ubuntu system provides only 20 devices for partitions, so you may not install on partitions higher than 20 unless you first manually create devices for those partitions. | 21:57 |
| zvacet | cppnewbie how can you install driver before you install os | 21:57 |
| cppnewbie | spee3dy: last time i did actually install it i just got some beeps from the pc speaker, sound didnt work | 21:57 |

| cppnewbie | spee3dy: okay, just gonna wait till the new i386 disc is downloaded | 21:58 |
| mikegriffin | Animortis: sign up for a dyndns.org account | 21:58 |
| spee3dy | cppnewbie, also, alot of drivers are available from the ubuntu repos | 21:58 |
| Rolandito | tanks all | 21:58 |

| gogeta | vacet lol yea i knoe that | 22:20 |
| oklinux | so there is no spyware or virus can damage linux ? | 22:20 |
| theuser1 | m0u5e ok.. | 22:20 |
| m0u5e | btw. does anyone know how to schedule /forcefsck with more parameters, and to have it check during shutdown rather than boot? | 22:20 |
| gogeta | zvacet i said 0 is off isnt it | 22:20 |
| dabbill | I am trying to get grub to boot my xp drive, but it just says starting up ...... and never boots | 22:21 |
| gogeta | zvacet no timeout | 22:21 |
| theuser1 | m0u5e how to check now? | 22:21 |
| m0u5e | theuser1: reboot your computer :D | 22:21 |
| zvacet | gogeta yes it is but I didn´t undrstand him that way.Maybe my mistake | 22:21 |
| gogeta | zvacet he said he whants it to wait for his input | 22:22 |
| wizo | anyone knows how i can turn off strick checking? | 22:22 |
| theuser1 | m0u5e that will check the linux os partition only. what if i want to see errors or fixed things? or any other partition? | 22:22 |
| Liquideath | hello | 22:22 |
| Bollinger | I have a dir with 14k files in it. How can i delete them all? rm * says Argument list too long? | 22:22 |
| mhalcrow_home | find . -exec rm -f {} \; | 22:22 |
| Bollinger | thanks | 22:22 |
| mhalcrow_home | Use with extreme caution | 22:22 |
| gogeta | theuser1for those fixes it best to use the nativ os checker | 22:22 |
| zvacet | gogeta then grun have to be visible for some period of time | 22:22 |
| gogeta | zvacet yep | 22:23 |
| m0u5e | theuser1: thats a good question... -_- ... well you could always unmount the partition you need to check, and run fsck on it | 22:23 |
| gogeta | zvacet no tmeout it will be vis untill he does something | 22:23 |
| theuser1 | m0u5e how? | 22:24 |
| zvacet | gogeta it is like default to put it on 10 my is on 3 | 22:24 |
| Crshman | hi all, is it possible to have 2 desktops on 2 screens rather than one single large stretched desktop? | 22:24 |
| dmsuperman | !dualhead | Crshman | 22:24 |

| iclebyte | why does ubuntu have 127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts? it just caused me 2 days of Java RMI pain. | 22:24 |
| gogeta | zvacet heh | 22:24 |
| MrSteve | cool, it's getting intrid.gz | 22:24 |
| dmsuperman | In short, yes, but you need to use a different method to output it | 22:24 |
| m0u5e | theuser1: make sure its not in use, and type umount | 22:24 |
| gogeta | zvacet i thinkm we hav are idea reversed | 22:24 |
| theuser1 | m0u5e ok | 22:24 |
| gogeta | zvacet would 0 = inf timeout | 22:24 |
| zvacet | gogeta may be | 22:25 |
| MrSteve | brb, it asked me to reboot after a brief download in unetbootin | 22:25 |

| ionutz_ | what player can i use in Ubuntu Hardy ? | 22:25 |
| ionutz_ | mp3 | 22:25 |

| J-Unit | ionutz_, music player? | 22:25 |
| dabbill | dmsuperman, nope | 22:25 |
| gogeta | zvacet or would it just instaboot been a wile | 22:26 |
| zvacet | gogeta I never tried that and I don´t know | 22:26 |
| ionutz_ | J-Unit, yes ....xmms don't work | 22:26 |
| lakotajames | i need it to wait for my input forever. so i set it to 0? wouldn't that make it boot ubuntu no matter what? | 22:26 |
| === nl is now known as nl|test | ||
| dabbill | dmsuperman, just goes to a black screen saying starting up...... | 22:26 |
| gogeta | zvacet eh worse case he just edits it back | 22:26 |
| dmsuperman | Any errors? | 22:26 |

| J-Unit | ionutz_, i have no idea wat xmms is but do play mp3's u need to download the codec and u can use totem or rhythmbox to actually play them | 22:26 |
| AlohaCalifornia | I'm using the RaLink RT61 chipset based WiFi card. I currently can't get Ubuntu to connect to any AdHoc networks while regular access point netowkrs work. | 22:26 |
| Squawk | Hey fellas. Been playing about with wireshark today and this evening have found that every few seconds my box is pinging a particular ip. I have no idea how to go about isolating which process is initiating the pings. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I know that the ip address in question is actually a gateway onto my ISP's network as I was port scanning a friend ealier to check his firewall. It is not my gateway | 22:26 |
| zionpsyfer | iclebyte: the loopback addy is there by default and it is possible that removing it will break some things. windows' hosts file contains this as well iirc. | 22:26 |
| zvacet | gogeta yes | 22:26 |
| ferric84 | I'm trying to network my 2 PCs so I can transfer files. Samba works fine when using my wireless, but when I connect via ethernet, and configure the IPs, neither computer can ping each other. is there anything I need to do here? | 22:26 |
| dmsuperman | dabbill, I was just going to suggest a screenshot, luckily i stopped myself ;) Type all the text that it says, verbatim | 22:27 |
| ferric84 | I set the ips to be 192.168.0.100/101 | 22:27 |
| === nl is now known as nl|away | ||
| dabbill | dmsuperman, do what? | 22:27 |
| lakotajames | gegeta and zvacet: i need it to wait for my input forever. so i set it to 0? wouldn't that make it boot ubuntu no matter what? | 22:27 |
| dmsuperman | ferric84, are they both connected to the same router, or able to access each other through your network? | 22:27 |
| dmsuperman | dabbill, Anything that it says beside "Staring up...." will help us determine what's actually going on | 22:28 |
| ferric84 | dmsuperman: yes. However, I want to take them off the wireless network (i.e., router), and directly connect them | 22:28 |
| gogeta | lakotajames i beleve 0 = infinty but i have never tryed | 22:28 |
| lakotajames | ok. thanks. | 22:28 |
| dmsuperman | ferric84, For that you need a crossover cable, are you using one? | 22:28 |
| ferric84 | dmsuperman: the router is too far away to run cables | 22:28 |
| iclebyte | zionpsyfer, any idea what it will break?... | 22:28 |
| ferric84 | dmsuperman: yes | 22:28 |
| dabbill | dmsuperman, thats all it says on the screen nothing else comes up after i hit enter to load Windows XP from grub menu | 22:28 |
| PhatKat | Any ideas on how to reconfigure the sound in 8.04, Ubuntu no longer detects my audio device. But I it does show up in the hardware information. | 22:28 |
| lakotajames | I'll try that then | 22:28 |
| lakotajames | thanks again. | 22:28 |
| zvacet | lakotajames if that happened you will easy change that | 22:28 |
| lakotajames | ok. | 22:28 |
| dmsuperman | ferric84, Then I'm out of ideas haha...I never was able to get computers to make a connection just using a crossover cable | 22:29 |
| gogeta | lakotajames i found some info lets see | 22:29 |
| iclebyte | zionpsyfer, surely 127.0.0.1 is enough? | 22:29 |
| ferric84 | dmsuperman: weird | 22:29 |
| dmsuperman | dabbill, Is it possible that your grub is pointing to the wrong partition for windows? | 22:29 |
| The_PHP_Jedi | Hello. How would I go about converting a .bin (with .cue) to an .iso (or directly the individual mp3's inside it)? bchunk doesn't seem to support mp3 exporting, and acetoneiso says the file isn't a valid iso... | 22:29 |
| dmsuperman | ferric84, yeah, but it was also using windows that I was trying, so who knows | 22:29 |
| Shepherd | Can anyone tell me how to activate my Headphone jack? it seems to be a common problem across a few linux distros.. | 22:29 |
| forkmantis | if I install the 8.04 RC, will normal system upgrades eventually catch it up to the final release? | 22:29 |
| dmsuperman | ferric84, I always just used my extra router and connected the 2 | 22:29 |
| dabbill | dmsuperman, pretty sure its pointing to the right partition. | 22:30 |
| dmsuperman | dabbill, What's your menu.lst say for windows XP? The whole portion, pastebin it | 22:30 |
| gogeta | lakotajames oh hear it is | 22:30 |

| floating | hi. i need to add couple lines after my internet interface "eth0", but in /etc/network/interfaces there are only 2 lines. auto lo and iface lo inet loopback <- is that normal ? | 22:32 |
| dmsuperman | dabbill, I knkow a lot of people that boot into windows need to remap the drives so that Windows is on hd0 | 22:33 |
| dmsuperman | dabbill, Try adding this to your Windows section, just below the title:map (hd0)(hd1) | 22:34 |
| dmsuperman | map (hd1)(hd0) | 22:34 |
| gogeta | dmsuperman yea you pretty mutch have to or you get a hal.dll error | 22:34 |
| anteaya | i have been working with several different players for mov files, totem doesn't work for me, and vlc will not play the sound, so I found miro and was happy. I tried to customize the miro gui and it froze and now totem has frozen up on me too. What files or packages would both apps need to access that a problem would affect both of them? | 22:34 |
| gogeta | dabbill you pretty mucth have to windows hate anywhere but primary | 22:34 |
| dmsuperman | gogeta, Not me, it won't work unless mine is hd1...who knows why....although I've always had odd issues with grub and my hard drives | 22:34 |

| dmsuperman | gogeta, who knows, but I have to go soon and that usually does it :P | 22:36 |
| gogeta | dmsuperman you would not whant to mess with that | 22:36 |
| dmsuperman | gogeta, Wouldn't it only do it temporarily, then boot to recovery worst case scenario? | 22:36 |

| cizra | Hey, what's the principal difference between Ubuntu, KUbuntu, Xubuntu and the rest? | 22:47 |
| cizra | Only the initial installation packages? | 22:47 |
| GIn | cizra: different UI | 22:47 |
| SeaPhor | zvacet: and then choose the empty space to install on? | 22:47 |
| earobinson | correct | 22:47 |
| earobinson | only what is installed cizra | 22:48 |
| zvacet | SeaPhor Yes if you don´t want dual boot two ubuntu versions | 22:48 |
| anteaya | Animortis, : http://pastie.caboo.se/183587 | 22:48 |
| earobinson | guess not | 22:48 |
| cizra | GIn: S'pose I install Kubuntu, then want to switch to Xubuntu -- would it be enough to uninstall KDE stuff and install XFCE? | 22:48 |
| earobinson | :( | 22:48 |
| earobinson | yes cizra it would | 22:48 |
| amitprakash | hi.. i can use hciscan to find usb devices but how should i connet to one? | 22:48 |
| SeaPhor | zvacet: Thank you :-)) | 22:49 |

| cizra | GIn: OK | 22:49 |
| Mike_L | Which should I install on my new AMD X2 PC? Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu JeOS, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, or Mythbuntu? | 22:49 |
| zvacet | cizra:http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 22:49 |
| anteaya | Animortis, : the important thing is to run the command that sets up the modified init.d file in the rc.d directory | 22:49 |
| zvacet | SeaPhor np | 22:49 |
| anteaya | Animortis, : if you don't do that command, it won't run | 22:50 |
| cizra | zvacet: enlightening. Thanks. | 22:50 |
| anteaya | Animortis, : and you have to reboot (obviously) after it is configured | 22:50 |
| zvacet | cizra np | 22:50 |
| anteaya | Animortis, : good luck | 22:50 |
| Frozenball | Can you register a project to launchpad which doesn't allow redistribution with modifications. | 22:50 |

| sjovan | dell_: as i said.... it's there allready! | 23:09 |
| dabbill | zvacet, all i see on this webpage is how to setup grub for the actual booting of the OS. I just want to add a line of text that says Windows OS, its not a line that is bootable. | 23:09 |

| Element031792 | For some reason... | 23:11 |
| alecwh | I'm using VNC to connect to a GNOME desktop with two monitors (duel screens). When I connect, I only see the primary screen, not the other one. My screens are both different X screens, I believe. | 23:11 |
| dabbill | zvacet, its okay hehe. I want to add just a line of text that displays on the grub menu, but doesnt do any thing other then just displays the text. | 23:11 |
| RoAkSoAx | !ask | Element031792 | 23:11 |
| ubotu | Element031792: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:11 |
| andrew_ | the only thing I can't seem to do is get modprobe snd- to work | 23:11 |
| sjovan | dell_: sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager <--- you are running ubuntu right? not kde? | 23:12 |

| Boopop | How to I copy to a folder in terminal where the name has a space in it (ie "Program Files") | 23:17 |
| alexman | dangt | 23:17 |
| bbyever | Zeker: sorry this is the correct one sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 23:17 |
| spee3dy | use the add/remove programs tool Zeker | 23:17 |
| crdlb | it's very old and doesn't cooperate well with compiz fusion | 23:17 |
| spee3dy | look for compiz | 23:17 |
| alexman | how do you delete a directory? | 23:17 |
| spee3dy | its the top option | 23:17 |
| bbyever | crdlb: corrected it | 23:18 |
| gogeta | crdlb why i used it befor gives you alot more options | 23:18 |
| spee3dy | gogeta, its old, and obsolete thats why | 23:18 |
| Zeker | what would be the preferred method, through apt-get or the add/remove section? | 23:18 |
| alexman | what command deletes a directory in ubuntu? | 23:18 |
| crdlb | gogeta: compizconfig-settings-manager gives you even more :) | 23:18 |
| spee3dy | Zeker, same either way | 23:18 |
| gogeta | crdlb in fact i think you need it jut to get the cube | 23:18 |
| spee3dy | just do as i said | 23:18 |
| sjovan | !ask | Boopop | 23:18 |
| gogeta | crdlb oh | 23:18 |
| ubotu | Boopop: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 23:18 |

| sjovan | alexman: rm -R /path/to/dir <--- man rm is nice reading you know | 23:18 |
| steven0451 | alexman, rmdir is the command | 23:18 |
| zvacet | Boopop right click on that you want to put in .wine folder and select copy and go to the home directory>view>show hidden files<.wine folder>C drive>paste it there | 23:18 |
| Zeker | spee3dy, the reason I ask is because I heard that one method enables the programs for automatic updates | 23:19 |
| prashant___ | spee3dy: whats new then ? | 23:19 |
| gogeta | sjovan he knoes of a better one :) | 23:19 |
| Boopop | but it's restricted, so how do I do it? access denied | 23:19 |
| bbyever | Zeker: they both do it | 23:19 |
| Zeker | I forget if its apt-get or add/remove though | 23:19 |
| Zeker | oh ok | 23:19 |
| alexman | thank you | 23:19 |
| Boopop | that's why I was doing it in terminal because i had to sudo it | 23:19 |
| spee3dy | Zeker, thats not true | 23:19 |
| spee3dy | just do as i said | 23:19 |
| prashant___ | gogeta: do you know how to back up installed packages to some disk | 23:20 |
| sjovan | Boopop: when you are in terminal and you want to type something with space, then you need to use \. example program\ files. btw... use tab for autocompleet. it's much easyer | 23:20 |
| steven0451 | Can anyone explain the difference between the xchat and xchat-gnome packages? There doesn't seem to be much info on them | 23:20 |
| Zeker | ok | 23:20 |
| Zeker | thanks for the corrections guys | 23:20 |
| spee3dy | steven0451, the gnome one has a slighty differnet layout | 23:20 |
| Boopop | sjovan: Thanks :) I shall try that now | 23:20 |
| spee3dy | i prefer the normal one | 23:20 |
| sjovan | Boopop: then you have to get permissions with useing chmod or just sudo in front of the command | 23:20 |
| Zeker | its finished installing | 23:20 |
| gogeta | prashant___ installed? | 23:21 |

| MystaMax | or does update-manager --devel-release work? | 23:24 |
| prashant___ | gogeta: why so ? there should be some way that we dont have to download same packages again and again :s | 23:24 |

| daeg0003 | does that mean the drivers are installed? | 23:49 |

| Pelo | daeg0003, I realy don'T know , sorry it's not something I am familiar with | 23:50 |
| Pelo | deadlock, is this touchpad built in ? | 23:50 |
| Animortis | Let me rephrase: I have a program in /etc/init.d that will start and stop like any other script but it won't start when the system boots. Does anyone know why? | 23:51 |
| mosibfu | you didnt do the rc thing? | 23:51 |
| JohninLex | Thank you Pelo | 23:51 |
| Pelo | daeg0003, try this, from the terminal run those two packages you installed I'M guessing they will ask for info to configure, try gsynaptic first it is probably graphical | 23:51 |

| Flyzoola | zvacet. ok, now where do I check?? | 23:56 |
| ubu2 | 'ping ubu2 | 23:56 |
| Pelo | Flyzoola, before you reconfigure someitng major like X , mind telling me what video card you have ? | 23:56 |
| Flyzoola | Pelo, I don't know what video card I have. It had larger resoltion before, I don't know what happened | 23:57 |
| Pelo | Flyzoola, get out of the xserver reconfigureation bit | 23:57 |
| zvacet | Flyzoola I belive that you have to answer questions and you can take default intil you come to the screen esolution and then pick one you want | 23:57 |
| daeg0003 | pelo, ok sorry i forgot the 's' at the end. it says i need to set SHMConfig to true. I already did this. do i need to reboot or logout to have the setting take effect to xorg.conf? | 23:57 |
| edemkrimea | :):):) | 23:57 |
| Pelo | Flyzoola, open a terminal type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to the resolutions and add the ones you need manualy | 23:57 |
| Flyzoola | it's the stock video card on a hp Pavilion 304w | 23:58 |
| Pelo | daeg0003, you probably need to restart X , crtl alt backspace, close all apps first | 23:58 |
| Pelo | Flyzoola, that might be a nvida or an ati card, , check if you are using the restricted driver in the admin menu | 23:58 |
| daeg0003 | pelo, ok ill try that | 23:58 |
| dekela | Hi People.. Is that the place to ask a Hardy question? | 23:59 |
| edemkrimea | bennybobw | 23:59 |
| Pelo | dekela, in #ubuntu+1 | 23:59 |
