| ubotu | earthmeLon and FallenAngel: 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 » | 00:00 |
| dmsuperman | unop, There's 3 that use snd-hda-intel and each of those say that they're also in use | 00:00 |
| errpast | what's a good site for linux laptop compatibility | 00:00 |
| FallenAngel | ah! that ubotu is really useful :) | 00:00 |
| nugz1212 | ladies and gentlemen i have problems to be fixed | 00:00 |
| dmsuperman | unop, 3 that are used by* | 00:00 |
| nugz1212 | woops | 00:00 |
| earthmeLon | haha, yeah FallenAngel he's right, but I still highly suggest using envy :D | 00:01 |
| el_ruso | errpast what's exactly your question? | 00:01 |
| nugz1212 | nvm | 00:01 |
| McJester | ikonia, it needs an application | 00:01 |
| sjovan | okay, i got a script ~/vcn with chmod +x. how can i make the scrit executable from any dir? | 00:01 |
| dmsuperman | unop, is there a way to reboot and have it not load snd-hda-intel so that I can do it that way before it gets locked? | 00:01 |
| errpast | where can I buy a laptop that will be compatible and reasonably priced, other than dell | 00:01 |
| erfol | ikonia: board works fine with windows though, it's just a 5 year old laptop | 00:01 |

| el_ruso | errpast dell.com lol. have you tried with ebay? | 00:02 |
| earthmeLon | FallenAngel, also, make sure you follow these instructions: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_to_add_extra_repositories | 00:02 |
| errpast | Odd-rationale, cool. thx | 00:02 |
| unop | dmsuperman, well, the only sane way is to do the same for those modules too (and so on if required) .. or put the options to the module in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and reboot | 00:02 |
| earthmeLon | Does anybody else feel like copy&paste in Ubuntu acts really weird? | 00:02 |
| errpast | el_ruso, Is Dell bad? | 00:02 |
| McJester | ikonia, I tried that too, there is not menu.lst in the boot folder | 00:02 |

| Odd-rationale | MrGnu: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 00:07 |
| MrGnu | Thanks Odd | 00:07 |
| FallenAngel | MrGnu - i think theres some packages if you search in synaptic | 00:07 |
| Odd-rationale | MrGnu: or for just kde do kde-core | 00:07 |

| gottatrieit | Oops! Sorry. Trying to log off. | 00:08 |
| MrGnu | I did the package route, problem with that is, it causes an issue with non functional splash image, so I read somewhere that you could do it through Synaptic, but i forgot how, I think Odd that your way gets me that easy set up | 00:08 |

This, hwoever, corresponds to the amount of mem used in the -/+ buffers/cache row in "free -m". So what does the first row of "free -m" mean, and should I be concerned that only 13 MB are free?

I think it would be in your best interests to just replace this drive and install it yourself. | 01:22 |

| justinmiller87 | ikonia, if that was for me, Landscape is a Canonical product designed to help rollout Ubuntu in an enterprise. | 01:38 |
| Pelo | !sound | shingalated | 01:38 |
| ubotu | shingalated: 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).

| lmiller_ | Now I want to put a bootloader in the MBR of the laptop HDD, take it out of the Desktop machine and put it back in the laptop | 01:50 |
| rj175 | is tht the perl awstats.pl -update -config=mysite | 01:50 |

| Pelo | redwhitewaldo, extend desktop ? is that like the desktop effects ? | 01:50 |
| redwhitewaldo | Pelo: no. | 01:50 |
| silencedbear | it's probably my dsl modem blocking it anyways. I think it only enables port 80 :( | 01:50 |

| unop | KOJV2, i was making a point about the speed at which updates are deployed with regards to linux, it's continually evolving unlike some counterparts | 02:20 |
| bazhang | KOJV2: use Vista mailboxes? from within a running Vista? while running ubuntu? sounds funny but seriously doubt it | 02:20 |
| bazhang | MrSteve: nice work | 02:20 |
| MrSteve | scary stuff | 02:20 |

| KOJV2 | bazhang: no, I mean I want to access my Vista Mail .dbx files natively from Ubuntu. | 02:21 |

| Kleidersack | How can I manage to boot with Grub installed on sda5 (logical volume)? | 02:45 |
| marckie | i already have netbeans | 02:45 |
| arvind_khadri | dfmr, for both | 02:45 |

| marckie | yeah its fast | 02:45 |
| zero-cool | self compiler is very fast | 02:45 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, grub should show up when you boot | 02:45 |
| Kleidersack | marckie: you eclipse could install eclipse | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | dfmr, i said the server cd - uses the text installer. since it has no X on it.. it dosent need a 'anternative isntaller cd' since it allready IS using the alternative/text installer. | 02:45 |
| RoxanneM | bazhang: can you have a look at that grub tutorial there, is the line "grub> setup (hd0) #Hit <Enter> key "- correct? or should it be (setup (hd0,1) | 02:45 |
| marckie | though in our class we prefer textbased ide --i use gedit | 02:45 |
| marckie | then compile it in terminal | 02:45 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: unforunataly not... | 02:45 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, are you sure the grub installed?? | 02:46 |

| arvind_khadri | RoxanneM, hi | 02:50 |
| Flannel | arvind_khadri, Kleidersack, bootable flags don't mean anything to Linux, or even XP. | 02:50 |
| zero-cool | just put ubuntu cd and mount hardrive | 02:50 |
| RoxanneM | Kleidersack: i just reinstalled windows, and im looking at that tutorial that Flannel just posted up... but it doesnt seem to work | 02:50 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: at the moment 2nd part is active. when i set sda5 active, the mbr-code tells, no partition is active. | 02:50 |
| api984 | its on MBR | 02:50 |
| Mega_byte | hi, does anyone know, please, what is the equivalent of PREROUTING, in ipfw (ipfirewall) | 02:50 |

| * KOJV wonders how on Earth he came to #ubuntu-jibberish... | 02:53 | |
| NateF | hay guys im back, i finally got passed the ata error's, but now i see the blank blue screen with white lines at the buttom, and now its kinda frozen, is it installing now? | 02:53 |
| a1fa | Why cant you enable DMA on SATA drive? | 02:53 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: if you install grub on a partition, you have to have a bootloader on the mbr to chinload, at least - is that what you mean? | 02:54 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: ... i suppose, bu i'm not sure | 02:54 |
| RoxanneM | i really want my ubuntu back :( | 02:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, the grub should be chainloading MBR | 02:54 |
| RoxanneM | maybe i will just wait for Hardy | 02:54 |
| thoreauputic_ | s/chinload/chainload :) | 02:54 |
| thoreauputic_ | heh | 02:54 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: Sorry, what do you mean? | 02:54 |
| Scunizi | alfa, isn't it on be default ? newer technology and all that.. there's probably no way to turn it off. | 02:55 |
| ben__ | hi, | 02:55 |
| a1fa | no | 02:55 |
| a1fa | its not on | 02:55 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: theoraticaly the mbr-code searches for the active partition and chainloads... | 02:55 |
| a1fa | and I cant turn it on | 02:55 |
| NateF | guys im stuck on a blue screen while trying to install ubuntu | 02:55 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: or haven't i got it false? | 02:55 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, well you need to write the grub above the MBR so that grub can detect everything and actually run....well grub should be on the top of geometry not inside a geometry | 02:55 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: umm, no - you don't needto mark "active" | 02:56 |
| maco | "active" partitions only matter in windows | 02:56 |
| KOJV | I'd like to know why two of my six Win partitions ask for my password then won't be mounted anyway? | 02:56 |
| maco | in linux, the bootloader will use whatever partitions it's told to use | 02:56 |
| Kleidersack | maco: no, defenitly not | 02:56 |
| NateF | im stuck on a blue screen is ubuntu is loading??? | 02:56 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: but then i loose the "active" feature | 02:56 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, active feature of what,you mean a dual boot | 02:57 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: and how does the mbr knows, which bootsector to load? | 02:57 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: for example, you can only have one partition marked with the boot flag, but grub can load 2,3 or more OSs on various partitions | 02:57 |
| gogeta | NateF LOL did you say blue screen | 02:57 |
| KOJV | How come there are none of the normal (Windows?) resolutions available in Xubuntu? All like random frequencies... such as 1600x1200 @ 68 Hz. | 02:57 |
| NateF | yes | 02:57 |
| gogeta | :P | 02:57 |
| KOJV | I'd like to know why two of my six Win partitions ask for my password then won't be mounted anyway? | 02:57 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: grub works in stages - the mbr is just there to connect to the later stages | 02:57 |
| Flannel | !repeat | KOJV | 02:57 |

| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 02:58 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: grub properly configured can find bootable kernels | 02:58 |
| NateF | yea, whats a HUGE blue screen mean after selecting the keyboard layout? | 02:58 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: the bios sets the first partition active, when i press the "media button" to power up my laptop... on dell the tools partition is activated by the bios in this way. | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | NateF: anything on the blue screen? | 02:59 |
| NateF | no | 02:59 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: it doesn't get to any state - the message i recieve is, that no partition is activated... or no operation system is installed. | 02:59 |
| NateF | theres a small white line at the bottom | 02:59 |
| NateF | if i hit enter it ads another white line to the bottom | 02:59 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, have you got ubuntu installed | 02:59 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: "no operation system is installed" sounds like a windows message | 03:00 |
| IdleOne | NateF: hmm sounds interesting. dont know what it is or what would cause it | 03:00 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: yes, but I always tell the bootloader to install to the os partition. | 03:00 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, as ubuntu auto configures the grub | 03:00 |
| NateF | lol, do you know if i can send Ubuntu an email or something to tell them about the proablem? | 03:00 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, there you did a mistake,grub is totally different from MBR!!!!! | 03:00 |
| gogeta | NateF im wondering abought your cds | 03:00 |
| IdleOne | NateF: this would be the best place to get the problem solved. you can also try searching on the ubuntu forums | 03:01 |
| NateF | lol, i checked tthe CD's twice | 03:01 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: if you do that with windows ntldr you have to jump through hoops - using grub on the mbr is much better and easier | 03:01 |
| gogeta | NateFif there not just no good | 03:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, how can grub now boot or show up as it wont be called first!!! | 03:01 |

| NateF | there CD-R's | 03:01 |
| NateF | ok thanks | 03:01 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: yes, but grub in the mbr doesn't make real sense... | 03:01 |
| a1fa | damn | 03:01 |
| IdleOne | NateF: try burning on a brand new cd and see if that helps | 03:01 |
| gogeta | NateF woa | 03:01 |
| NateF | a new CD-R or CD+R | 03:01 |
| IdleOne | NateF: I know that when I have used a cd more then once I always get errors | 03:02 |

| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, oh really those were the official ways though | 03:02 |
| gogeta | NateF from a new iso | 03:02 |
| NateF | ok | 03:02 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: yes it does - I explained earlier that only a tiny part of grub goes in the mbr - the rest is later stages | 03:02 |
| gogeta | NateF compared the md5 to | 03:02 |
| NateF | well, i have school tomorow, so im going to start the download tehen go to bed | 03:02 |

| marckie | can anybody change grub visual? | 03:02 |
| NateF | how do i do the MD5 | 03:02 |
| arvind_khadri | thoreauputic_, how can grub be seen from inside of a geometry ,MBR wont detect anything other that Windows | 03:02 |

| NateF | THANKS ubot! | 03:03 |
| NateF | is that a bot or a real person? | 03:03 |
| Starnestommy | NateF: a bot | 03:03 |
| gogeta | IdleOne he has both a lice cd and server failing | 03:03 |
| gogeta | IdleOne live | 03:03 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: yes, by default it'splaced there and kicked by windows... but if you place grub to the bootsector of you linux part you can reenable it by setting the linux part active using windows program "diskpart" without any further tools | 03:03 |
| thoreauputic_ | arvind_khadri: the code in the mbr loads stage 1.5 of grub, or whatever the right number is (I would have to look it up) | 03:03 |
| MrGnu | WEll I wish I was, anyone know the answer?> | 03:03 |
| IdleOne | NateF: how new is this pc? | 03:03 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: Ah well that may be so - I don't know that method | 03:04 |

| gogeta | IdleOne is if his hd is craping out | 03:05 |

| adam__ | hello, i am thinking of upgrading to the beta, and i have a toshiba with the weird graphics (intel) and i was wondering if i will have to do the bios hack to get the graphics to work correctly? | 03:05 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, grub boots first not the MBR | 03:05 |
| gogeta | IdleOne it was a vfs ata error | 03:05 |
| NateF | no | 03:05 |
| NateF | the ata errors are gone now | 03:05 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: sounds like an inflexible method - what if you have say, a triple boot? | 03:05 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: MBR code is executed first... if grub is in the mbr, then it's executed. | 03:05 |
| gogeta | NateF if thats true start the live cd :) | 03:05 |
| Scunizi | adam__: without knowing specifically what the card is.. there won't be anyone answering. | 03:05 |
| bmk789 | is a load of 10 not good? | 03:06 |
| NateF | lol, i did, the live CD gets stuck | 03:06 |
| caveymaso1 | is there any way of having diff wallpapers on each of my desktops? | 03:06 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, its the intel 945 | 03:06 |
| felipe__ | !tell me about grub | 03:06 |
| gogeta | NateF then thers still a issue | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | NateF: at what point does it get stuck? | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | !grub | felipe_ | 03:06 |
| ubotu | felipe_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 03:06 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, yeah thats what am saying ...but how the hell can MBR see the grub when it doesnt what a ext3 FS is | 03:06 |
| NateF | umm, when i go to install, the status bar freezes | 03:06 |
| Scunizi | adam__: I think that should be supported now and Hardy should be even better. | 03:06 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: only a tiny part of grub is installed to the mbr - the rest is where you put it :) | 03:06 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, thank you, i will go ahead and do it tomorrow, as i will surf tonight... | 03:06 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: now, I have to use a bootloader, but bootloader in the mbr is a bit messy... especially for dell,ibm and verious laptops.. | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | NateF: how long have you waited for it to unstick? | 03:07 |
| === bay is now known as disdov | ||
| Scunizi | adam__: are you on the live cd now? | 03:07 |
| NateF | umm, about 25-26 hours | 03:07 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, no, i am on ubuntu ultimate 1.6 | 03:07 |
| thoreauputic_ | arvind_khadri: the part in the mbr knows just enough to find grub - the rest happens after that | 03:07 |
| gogeta | NateF lol yea stuck | 03:07 |
| Kleidersack | arvind_khadri: mbr doesn't care the fs - it just looks for an active partition and loads the first (boot) sector. | 03:07 |
| NateF | lol | 03:07 |
| Scunizi | adam__: ah.. ok.. so are you going to beta of ultimate? | 03:07 |
| IdleOne | NateF: yeah that should be long enough. lol. ok go to bed and work on it tomorrow. school is more important | 03:07 |
| thoreauputic_ | arvind_khadri: grub is pretty smart actually :) | 03:07 |
| gogeta | NateF i would md5 those isos make shure something isnt wrong there | 03:07 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, no, im going to the plain ubuntu beta, 8.04 | 03:07 |
| NateF | ok | 03:08 |
| NateF | well ill redownload then check all the info | 03:08 |
| NateF | ill be back on tomorow | 03:08 |
| arvind_khadri | thoreauputic_, thats what am trying to prove | 03:08 |
| IdleOne | night | 03:08 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: grub doesn't look for "active" - it finds kernels | 03:08 |
| Scunizi | adam__: you might consider just installing gutsy and when hardy is released (and fully functional) just upgrade through synaptic.. it will prompt you for the upgrade. | 03:08 |
| gogeta | NateF sometimes they go bad realy the case with ones that have been there a wile | 03:08 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: in fact if you have it on a floppy you can run it that way and it will show a list | 03:09 |
| cirkit|lappy | I've installed libdvdcss and win32codecs, I am unable to play a copyrighted DVD movie. Medibuntu repository has been added with the necessary software installed. Has anyone seen this issue before? | 03:09 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, nah, i want to get off of the unsupported ultimate | 03:09 |
| NateF | ok | 03:09 |
| gogeta | NateF or even your download manager can do it | 03:09 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, and build it myself | 03:09 |
| Scunizi | adam__: gotcha | 03:09 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: yes, but my problem is to let the mbr load grub, because it seems not to work with logical drives, but works fine with primary partitions. | 03:09 |
| NateF | how do i make sure the download manager is fine? | 03:09 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: alternatively you point it at another bootloader to chainload | 03:09 |
| IdleOne | where does rhythmbox save playlists? | 03:09 |
| NateF | im using FireFoz | 03:09 |
| NateF | FireFox* | 03:09 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, there are alot of things on this ultimate, that i dont need, use, or have a use for... so i want to dump it,streamline an install, and start fresh, windows free | 03:09 |
| gogeta | NateF yea i had ff cruppt one once | 03:09 |
| Scunizi | adam__: :) | 03:10 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: I have no idea what you mean - grub finds logical drives just fine | 03:10 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: now, if nothing works i'll let the windows bootloader to chainload grub; a bit messy... | 03:10 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: but i need grub to be found. | 03:10 |
| _Net | Ubuntu comes with GCC compiler right? | 03:10 |
| adam__ | Scunizi, thanks for your help i do appreciate it, and will see ya later, | 03:10 |
| Scunizi | adam__: c-ya | 03:10 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: i don't want put grub to the mbr. | 03:10 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: how on earth did you complicate matters so much? If you just follow the standard ways grub works fine | 03:11 |
| drewby | Hello, are there any tools available to ubuntu to determine whether or not a video is encoded in MPEG4 - Part 10 versus MPEG4 - Part 2 (in other words H.264 versus Divx)? | 03:11 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack supergrub live cd/floppy | 03:11 |
| arvind_khadri | _Net, yeah | 03:11 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack you can rebuild it with that easly | 03:11 |
| cirkit|lappy | Nevermind it works, had to re-insert the disc after installing the necessary files. | 03:11 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: I cannot see what the problem is with having grub on mbr | 03:11 |
| arvind_khadri | thoreauputic_, :) thats whats so messy | 03:11 |
| Synclair | hello | 03:11 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack w same disk you c an even restore the mbr to stock windows | 03:12 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: unfortunately it's not so simple if you want to use dell and ibm computers with it's own tools-partitions | 03:12 |
| arvind_khadri | Kleidersack, i think #grub would be more interested in what you are doing | 03:12 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack well i told you how to fix it | 03:12 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: ah, so dell do something stupid with their partitions. I see :) | 03:13 |
| caveymaso1 | is there any way of having different wallpapers on each of my desktops? | 03:13 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: the problem is to load grub from an logical drive... i have rebuilded it several times. | 03:13 |
| drewby | How can I determine the codec of a given video file? | 03:13 |
| Synclair | hey I have a question that it's server related | 03:13 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack what you do is backup the dell mbr to a safe place | 03:13 |
| nanotrader | are there any communities of france here?? | 03:13 |
| TangentBuntu | how do I change the home directory of a user via command line? | 03:13 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack thers stuff out there that can do that | 03:13 |
| caveymaso1 | lol they need to do something about this chanel its getting to big | 03:13 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: not really - the bios can set the tools partition active if you ran in trouble... but unfortunatelly it only works with a standard mbr code, because grub ignores the active flag | 03:14 |
| Scunizi | Synclair: ask...away.. | 03:14 |
| Starnestommy | TangentBuntu: sudo usermod -d /new/home/dir username | 03:14 |
| nanotrader | please, someone, i want to tlak to french people | 03:14 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: How do you suppose the millions of people running linux on Dell seem to manage to configure grub so easily? | 03:14 |
| TangentBuntu | omg usermod | 03:14 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: sorry? | 03:14 |
| Synclair | okey, I have a server running ubuntu 7.10 | 03:14 |
| Starnestommy | !fr | nanotrader | 03:14 |
| ubotu | nanotrader: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 03:14 |
| Scunizi | !fr | nanotrader | 03:14 |
| arvind_khadri | !fr | nanotrader | 03:14 |
| TangentBuntu | Starnestommy: thank you | 03:14 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack you can backup a mbr | 03:14 |
| caveymaso1 | diff wallpapers anyone? | 03:14 |
| Scunizi | !fr | nanotrader | 03:14 |
| Starnestommy | TangentBuntu: you may need to move the stuff in that user's old home directory to the new one | 03:14 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: but i need to run it each time before running in grub | 03:15 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack err no | 03:15 |
| Synclair | the thing is that I need my server to accept people logging in from a certain domain.. It's an ADS (Active Directory) and the thing is that I need to bind samba to the domain | 03:15 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: loosing the possibility to activate the tools partition by bios... the same for lenovo reparation button afaik | 03:15 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack grub will setup for other oses | 03:15 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: but ignore the active flag | 03:16 |
| Synclair | for example, if a client wants to download or upload certain files to the server, he would have to input his user and password from the domain to the system (then the server would authenticate with the domain controller) | 03:16 |
| Scunizi | Synclair: so it's really an Active Directory thing.. someone here might know.. or over at #ubuntu-server .. the guys that deal with this all the time. | 03:16 |
| TangentBuntu | Starnestommy: it's just to give someone an FTP account to the webserver | 03:16 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack so | 03:16 |
| Synclair | cool | 03:16 |
| Synclair | thx | 03:16 |
| Scunizi | np | 03:16 |
| TangentBuntu | no files have been there in the first place, Starnestommy | 03:16 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: hmm - OK. I only run linux so I guess a lot of this is not relevant to me - have you tried googling for the problem ? | 03:16 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack well i have a suggestion for you | 03:16 |
| RequinB4 | How can I make control+alt+delte open my system moniter | 03:16 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack a wubi install | 03:17 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: yes, but don't have enough keyword to get a smart result | 03:17 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: sorry? | 03:17 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack it uses both the windows partation and boot loader | 03:17 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: you ought to have it pull up a graphic that says by by MS | 03:17 |
| caveymaso1 | has anyone been successfull with multiple wallpapers? like diff wallpapers on each workspace? | 03:17 |
| Synclair | no response @ #ubuntu-server | 03:17 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: you mean a bootloader? | 03:17 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: have you tried ubuntu+dell+tools+partition+grub for example ? | 03:18 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack http://wubi-installer.org/ its built in 8.04 but for 7.10 go there | 03:18 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: seriously.. why not just put the sys monitor on the upper bar of the screen? | 03:18 |
| RequinB4 | Scunizi - Maybe i'll do that on another machine :P But i'm fixing my freind's laptop and he wanted an easily accessable system moniter | 03:18 |
| zutme | i have an onboard soundcard and a discrete soundcard. how can i choose which one I want to use? It defaulted to my onboard for some reason | 03:18 |
| RequinB4 | Scunizi - security, i think | 03:18 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack all you need to do is restore the windows boot sector | 03:18 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: i have already installed ubuntu | 03:18 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: don't know how that would make any difference.. | 03:19 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack well you dont wanna mod it | 03:19 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack this would work for you | 03:19 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: no, not really... my windows bootsector is fine... but i don't want grub in the mbr... | 03:19 |
| RequinB4 | Scunizi - oh, you mean on the toolbar? That would be last ditch | 03:19 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: right click bar.. select "Add to Panel" and attach it.. then you're done.. | 03:19 |
| Scunizi | yep | 03:19 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: I just tried that and got some hits that look as if they could help | 03:19 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack readit does not use grub | 03:19 |
| RequinB4 | Scunizi - THanks for the suggestion, but it would still be nice to get the keyboard shortcut | 03:20 |
| longmanzz | hi | 03:20 |
| longmanzz | yo | 03:20 |
| highway | zutme, can't you just disable the on-board sound card in the bios? | 03:20 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: as far as i can see, wubi is just an installer... isn't it? | 03:21 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: there ought to be a way to put it in System/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts.. but there's lots of stuff there and no "Add" button | 03:21 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: another google search for you: ntldr+boot+linux+howto | 03:21 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: maybe in the conf file for that app. | 03:21 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack ir installes in a image file inside windows and uses the windows boot loader | 03:21 |
| zutme | highway, i suppose I could, but that's kind of a hack isn't it? I should be able to select it somehow wouldn't you think? | 03:21 |
| RequinB4 | Scunizi - yeah, i asked here because the one thing i'm dissapointed about ubuntu was a lack of GUI keyboart shortcut changes | 03:21 |
| lolz | hey there. i'm running ubuntu from the boot disk and i am considering formating my current windows hd and using ubuntu full-time, cus it is much better. my question is, me and a friend are coding a website, ubuntu can edit .html / .php files correct? | 03:21 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack no partations or grub | 03:21 |
| danage | anybody have good instructions on how to compile hostap drivers and modprobe them into the kernel? i don't know how to compile JUST the drivers... | 03:22 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack your only other option are install it on the bootsector a floppy or a usb drive | 03:22 |
| highway | there might be another way, but if you don't need the on-board, why leave it on? | 03:22 |
| thoreauputic_ | lolz: of course :) Any number of editors can handle those | 03:22 |
| fyrmedic | lolz yup no problem. I think the package is Quanta or bluefish. Or you can use a content management system and not worry about it. | 03:22 |
| lolz | is there a application, alike dreamweaver for ubunut? | 03:22 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: oh, nice idea... but my problem is to get grub running, because i don't have windows on each computer to install... but there are plenty dell / lenovo / other manufactures using the active-feature... | 03:23 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack if you wanna avoide the primary mbr | 03:23 |
| lolz | Ubuntu*. | 03:23 |
| thoreauputic_ | lolz: closest would be kompozer | 03:23 |
| lolz | okay. | 03:23 |
| thoreauputic_ | !info kompozer hardy | 03:23 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: check this out.. http://blog.laptopmag.com/keyboard-shortcuts-in-linux-success | 03:23 |
| ubotu | kompozer (source: kompozer): Complete Web Authoring System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.7.10-0ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 8438 kB, installed size 26008 kB | 03:23 |
| lolz | if i do pation my current hd. how big would you say teh smallest i could get away with ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: active-flag works fine for primary partitions... | 03:23 |
| lolz | in gigabytes. | 03:23 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack just dont get it do you | 03:23 |
| danage | anybody have good instructions on how to compile hostap drivers and modprobe them into the kernel? i don't know how to compile JUST the drivers... | 03:23 |
| longmanzz | hi | 03:23 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: sorry? | 03:24 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack linux does not need activ | 03:24 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: have you actually tried the searches I suggested? | 03:24 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: the active flag tells the standard mbr code, which bootsector to load... | 03:24 |
| lolz | what's a good (preferably low) hd size for ubuntu? | 03:24 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack you should be able to bot any partation with grub even recovery | 03:24 |
| danage | lolz: 2gb | 03:24 |
| gogeta | boot | 03:24 |
| lolz | will 2gb do? | 03:25 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: you are approaching this from a totally non-linux angle | 03:25 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: searched for "mbr grub extended partition" before asking here... | 03:25 |
| lolz | alright thanks a lot guyz. | 03:25 |
| lolz | cya. | 03:25 |
| RequinB4 | thanks much Scunizi | 03:25 |
| Scunizi | RequinB4: np.. :) | 03:25 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: an extended partition is just a container | 03:25 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: sorry, but i'm not going to write my own mbr bootloader... | 03:25 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack just point it to the partation and hit enter | 03:25 |
| sunyore | whois anthony | 03:25 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: *cough* who said you needed to? | 03:26 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack you cant add the line eh /dev/hda3 | 03:26 |
| tyger | does anyone know how to install colinux in ubuntu? | 03:26 |
| longmanzz | hi | 03:26 |
| thoreauputic_ | gogeta: don't bother, he has a hearing difficulty, poor chap | 03:26 |
| gogeta | thoreauputic_: hes fearing losing acess to recovery partations on a dell | 03:26 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: that's the OSS angle - you need something and can't find it? So just develope it :-) | 03:26 |
| sjovan | can anyone recomend a prog to finde the keyframes in a avi? avidemux sucks teh balls in linux | 03:27 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: not only on dell - many manufactures works with such things. | 03:27 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack i give up bro | 03:27 |

| Kleidersack | gogeta: I know... I used grub and lilo to switch master/slave harddisks and so on... but there is no feature (afaik) to tell grub to look for the active flag... or i haven't found it in the documentation | 03:30 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack omg | 03:30 |
| gogeta | Kleidersack you dont need to | 03:30 |
| Kleidersack | gogeta: what? | 03:30 |
| gogeta | ignored | 03:30 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ng0n, check /dev/null for windows help :\ | 03:31 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: your problem is this: you already think you know how it is done, and are therefore deaf to any help that contradicts your preconceived idea | 03:31 |
| Kleidersack | on my old pc i let grub run windows on the second harddisk simulating it was the first (swapping) | 03:31 |
| gogeta | that guy has no concept of bootloader | 03:31 |
| Poe | Have a question... when I select ubuntu from my bootload after a fresh install it goes to a black screen... and the only way I can get it going is a safe boot and launch gdm through the command | 03:32 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: that sound you hear is hundreds of keyboards adding you to the /ignore list, I'm afraid... | 03:32 |
| Poe | anyone have an idea where I should go? | 03:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Kleidersack, just because that's how you did it before doesn't mean that's how it's done now, gogeta told you where to look for help with grub. i use a dell, it works fine, end of discussion | 03:33 |
| Poe | I mean where I should start | 03:33 |
| ricanelite | why is that the windows are so big in Ubuntu? Like I have the right screen resolution which is 1280x720 like I have notice that in windows vista, xp there are so much smaller | 03:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Poe, at this point, no one wants me telling them where to go, trust me. | 03:33 |
| gogeta | Daisuke_Ido he said his grub is blackscreening lol | 03:34 |
| Poe | Lol... im sorry? | 03:34 |
| gogeta | Poe i would check your menu.list | 03:34 |
| Poe | how and for what gogeta? | 03:35 |
| gogeta | Poe just sounds like its pointed to a bad spot | 03:35 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: Now, you are telling me to install grub to the mbr, but I don't know how to tell grub to look, for the active flag. | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it doesn't need to | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you were told that too | 03:35 |
| Poe | should I try a fresh reinstall? | 03:35 |
| fyrmedic | #homeschool | 03:35 |
| Poe | this is the first time ive tried to boot it also... | 03:36 |
| gogeta | Poe boot safemode and looks in /boot/grub | 03:36 |
| Kleidersack | Daisuke_Ido: can you run your tools partition from bios-menu? | 03:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Kleidersack, i can | 03:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no, not the bios | 03:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | grub picks it up as a bottable partition | 03:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | bootable* | 03:36 |
| danage | Kleidersack: there are plenty of guides in the ubuntu wiki on how to configure grub | 03:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and works just fine | 03:36 |
| gogeta | Poe the normel boot should point in the same place without all the options | 03:36 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: that's what I mean about preconceived ideas... | 03:36 |
| ricanelite | is there a way to make a default window size? for all applications I open? | 03:36 |
| danage | you should read some, and with the acquired knowledge, ask a qualified question here | 03:36 |
| gogeta | Daisuke_Ido i ran that circle with him to many times | 03:37 |
| danage | gogeta: do you know a good kernel recompiling guide for ubuntu? | 03:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | gogeta, i'm beginning to see that... | 03:37 |
| Poe | ok... shouldnt a sucsessful install boot correctly from the beginning? | 03:38 |
| gogeta | Daisuke_Ido: he doesent understand his bios have knothing to do witrh it the bios are doing the same thing grub does change the bot order | 03:38 |
| gogeta | boot | 03:38 |
| thoreauputic_ | Daisuke_Ido: There are certain people who are sort of human black holes ;) | 03:38 |
| gogeta | Daisuke_Ido and the line makeactiv shhhh | 03:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | thoreauputic_, i'm seeing that as well | 03:39 |
| gogeta | Daisuke_Ido if hes that conserned make a friggen backup if by some mircle 1202 people are wrong | 03:40 |
| gogeta | >:o | 03:40 |
| Kleidersack_ | thoreauputic_: if something goes wrong with the pc and i can't boot the machine, the dell hotline tells me to run the tools-partition. If something went wrong with the linuix partition I can't do this and they tell me to run there f*** tools first; i want avoid this situation. | 03:41 |

| gogeta | im saying this one last time grub will load your friggen tools other dell users confermed this aruldy | 03:43 |

| Mex_tux | Is there any way to load a module on startup? | 03:45 |
| thoreauputic_ | mutk: I think he got involved with Linspire | 03:45 |
| gogeta | Mex_tux yep add it to rc.d | 03:45 |
| gogeta | cMex_tux or init.d | 03:45 |

| sheikpunk | tips? | 03:49 |
| thoreauputic_ | gogeta: no, that one should *never* be done :( | 03:49 |

| gogeta | cogeno i would say bad opartation table | 03:52 |
| gogeta | cogeno reformat the card | 03:52 |
| cogeno | Well, if I use my camera as the reader, I can do whatever I please with it | 03:52 |

| cogeno | If I record videos onto the SD card witht he camera, | 03:52 |

| RequinB4 | Yeah, they are cutting into canoical's profits on cd sales! | 04:14 |
| Pelo | RequinB4, it's probably on the cd , somewhere | 04:14 |

| gogeta | nice | 04:18 |
| atlef | Bassoon: see if wine-doors is what you are looking for | 04:18 |
| RequinB4 | well, the gpl allows people to sell the product as a service for distrubuting/compiling so long as the source code is given freely, so I suppose you could just sell it for $0.01 | 04:18 |
| Bassoon | Thanks, atlef. | 04:18 |

| thoreauputic_ | RequinB4: Open the Gnome help and type "gpl" in the search box - it's there under gpl manual | 04:19 |
| gogeta | RequinB4 and plenty of lame sites | 04:19 |
| RequinB4 | I beleive that too | 04:19 |
| gogeta | Joeseph yes a minumal install using the alt disk | 04:19 |
| gogeta | Joeseph very basics | 04:19 |
| fbc | Joeseph, yeah I believe the server versionis about a stripped as it can get. | 04:19 |
| trinity93 | i find it interesting though that the FSF says on there site that you only have to give the source to your customers is your selling software | 04:19 |
| trinity93 | is/s/if | 04:20 |
| gogeta | fbc min even more so | 04:20 |

| saurabh | Amarnath: u from India??? | 04:20 |
| fbc | gogeta, yeah, I forgot about that install | 04:20 |
| nethakz | from what i understand selling things for gpl you generally charge for the support or extra parts that aren't gpl'd | 04:20 |
| RequinB4 | thoreauputic_: thanks much | 04:20 |
| fbc | gogeta, could you give me clue as to why this nautilus script does not execute? http://pastebin.ca/991554 | 04:20 |
| RequinB4 | If it ever happens, i can't wait to see the look on someone's face | 04:21 |
| trinity93 | well you dont have to make the download avaliable to any one but a paying customer | 04:21 |
| gogeta | fbc never to gracefull with scripts | 04:21 |
| nethakz | trinity93, the thing is though, you open the source for one paying customer he can go around and change one small thing and make it available for frree. | 04:21 |
| gogeta | fbc you made it executable rite | 04:22 |
| trinity93 | well yes | 04:22 |

| gogeta | Joeseph if you can get to a prompt ctrl alt f1 just stop gdm | 04:24 |
| eduardo | fyrmedic: right click your desktop | 04:24 |
| RequinB4 | nethakz - consider crossover, whose source is freely available on the net. Most people who know enough to compile will probably a) not re-distribute in an effort to support the devs or b) just take what they need from teh source | 04:24 |
| gogeta | Joeseph you will be in text mode at ctrl alt f1 | 04:24 |

| trinity93 | i find the stock pkg with the wine tricks script will handel most things well | 04:25 |
| gogeta | fbc did yea try sh scropt.sh | 04:25 |
| jnetfreshmex | ok thanks sorry | 04:25 |
| fbc | gogeta, nope.. I'll try.. | 04:25 |
| thoreauputic_ | jnetfreshmex: no need - I just wanted you to know you can go ahead and ask :) | 04:26 |
| thoreauputic_ | jnetfreshmex: that factoid probably needs a bit of editing actually ;) | 04:26 |
| jnetfreshmex | when i put a dvd in the playback is slow and fails immediately after that. i can't watch any movies on it. | 04:26 |
| atlef | jnetfreshmex: what player? | 04:27 |
| jnetfreshmex | totem | 04:27 |

| atlef | trinity93: !best | 04:28 |
| RequinB4 | !best | IRequinB4 would suggest VLC, but | 04:28 |
| ubotu | IRequinB4 would suggest VLC, but: 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. | 04:28 |

| ninjaslim | i need to reset the configuration for my wireless network, how would i do this | 04:28 |
| trinity93 | yea VLC is fancy gui wise | 04:28 |
| trinity93 | but mplayer is da bomb | 04:28 |
| * IndyGunFreak hates mplayer | 04:28 | |
| Iced_Eagle | jessid: Do you have a link that the 360 can have Linux installed on it? I haven't heard of it. | 04:29 |
| trinity93 | it will play just about anything | 04:29 |
| fbc | gogeta, no i can't because I'm right clicking on a file and selecting to run the script on it. | 04:29 |
| gogeta | < loves mplayer | 04:29 |
| gogeta | fbc lol | 04:29 |
| Iced_Eagle | Even if it did, I'm sure you could "read" the discs just as you could read them in Linux or Windows now | 04:29 |
| trinity93 | ibm 360? | 04:29 |
| Iced_Eagle | wouldn't be too useful I don't think | 04:29 |
| kelvin911 | why some divx movies flick when playing in vlc or mplayer? | 04:29 |
| jessid | Iced_Eagle you can even watch videos of ho to install it in youtube | 04:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | trinity93, vlc will play everything mplayer will | 04:29 |
| gogeta | IndyGunFreak < wrong | 04:30 |
| Iced_Eagle | hm, cool I'll go check that out now. Thanks for the heads up | 04:30 |
| jnetfreshmex | so i would just pick one, say mplayer, and dl then install it? | 04:30 |
| kelvin911 | those movies dont flick when i play them with vlc in windows | 04:30 |
| ninjaslim | i need to reset the configuration for my wireless network, how would i do this | 04:30 |
| gogeta | IndyGunFreak vlc cant handel rmvb | 04:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok | 04:30 |
| gogeta | IndyGunFreak mplayer can | 04:30 |
| gogeta | IndyGunFreak thats abought it thow | 04:30 |
| atlef | jnetfreshmex: use add/remove programs in the menu | 04:30 |
| kelvin911 | why some divx movies flick when playing in vlc or mplayer in ubuntu | 04:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | i've never had a need for rmvb | 04:30 |
| trinity93 | mplayer will also play cue/bin files directly | 04:30 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 compiz can make it do that | 04:30 |
| jnetfreshmex | ok i'll try it | 04:31 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 enable direct rendering in mplayer or turn off compiz | 04:31 |
| ninjaslim | i need to reset the configuration for my wireless network, how would i do this | 04:31 |
| Max_- | Since I installed CCSM and turned on most of the features, I can't anymore write words in the dictionnary item in one of my panels... when I click on it, it won't focus on it... like if it wasn't there.. but I can still use the middle button to paste in it.. I just can't press enter and get a definition... another thing is I can't anymore use my mouse wheel to change desktop using the desktop grid | 04:31 |
| Max_- | in the panel | 04:31 |
| SeaPhor | fyrmedic, #sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 04:31 |
| Iced_Eagle | Hm wow, I haven't heard of that king kong shader hack in forever! Didn't realize anything ever came from that | 04:31 |
| trinity93 | compz is a cluster f#%k | 04:31 |
| thoreauputic_ | jnetfreshmex: it's also *just* possible the dma is not on for your cd/dvd drive ( unlikely since it is usually done automatically) | 04:32 |
| fyrmedic | SeaPhor; I was trying to avoid that. But if that is the only way, thank you. | 04:32 |
| ninjaslim | i need to reset the configuration for my wireless network, how would i do this | 04:32 |
| trinity93 | useing it is rather unintuitive | 04:32 |
| SeaPhor | fyrmedic, that is with the res only | 04:32 |
| SeaPhor | fyrmedic, the -phigh | 04:32 |
| trinity93 | emeriald bits even more | 04:32 |
| fyrmedic | SeaPhor; oh cool thanks. | 04:33 |
| gogeta | ninjaslim if you mean the keychain you just delete it | 04:33 |
| kelvin911 | gogeta: so it is compiz that is causing the flick? | 04:33 |
| thecno | what is the comand to join in another channer? | 04:33 |
| ninjaslim | gogeta: keychain no i mean configuration for my wireless internet one of the interfaces | 04:34 |

| kelvin911 | still flicking in mplayer | 04:38 |
| gogeta | ninjaslim it should write a new config | 04:38 |
| ninjaslim | gogeta: no i'm asking you if you know of that file, where would it be, i'm a gentoo user i'm asking for a freind, at least for use config files are placed in conf.d | 04:39 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 how bought dubble buffer | 04:39 |
| kelvin911 | why when i play the game in dosbox, the screensaver will be on? | 04:39 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 also change your render to opengl | 04:39 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 or opengl2 | 04:39 |
| kelvin911 | i have double buffering and direct rendering on | 04:39 |
| kelvin911 | which video output is the best? | 04:39 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 gl2 | 04:39 |
| kelvin911 | openGL? direct? x11 ? | 04:39 |
| ninjaslim | gogeta: any ideas | 04:40 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: gnome-panel? Try diving into tty1 with ctrl+alt+F1, log in, and run "killall gnome-panel" , then see if they come back when you hit alt+F7 | 04:40 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 opengl | 04:40 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 if its to slow then direct | 04:40 |
| danny | thoreaputic_ when I do that, it says no process killed | 04:40 |
| kelvin911 | then why the default setting isnt on openGL? | 04:40 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 it can be slow on old systems | 04:40 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: are you sure alt+F2 does nothing? Sounds odd | 04:40 |
| n-iCe | how to remove a program completly? | 04:40 |
| n-iCe | apt-get remove program | 04:40 |
| n-iCe | and aptitude... == | 04:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: what does "pidof gnome-panel" say ? | 04:41 |
| danny | thoreaputic_ doesn't do a thing, at least not that i can see. for sure doesn't open terminal. :/ | 04:41 |
| ninjaslim | gogeta: any ideas | 04:41 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 thers a good direct one to i cant rember the na,e | 04:41 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: if there's a number, use " kill PID number" | 04:41 |
| gogeta | ninjaslim nope try it as su or do it wile the cards not activ | 04:41 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: why not "pkill gdm"? | 04:41 |
| danny | thoreaputic_ alright, gotta go to xserv or w/e to do that, can't open a dumb terminal :< | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | i try openGL2 still a bit flicking | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | maybe the movie is badly ripped | 04:42 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: because that is unnecessary. | 04:42 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 could be | 04:42 |
| kelvin911 | but it doesnt flick like this in windows | 04:42 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: and won't work without sudo anyway | 04:42 |
| kelvin911 | at least not this visble | 04:42 |
| thoreauputic_ | Kleidersack: and is a bazooka solution | 04:42 |
| n-iCe | how to uninstall and remove a package?? from the terminal | 04:42 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 as i said thers another good direct mode xv i beleve | 04:42 |
| Shadow420 | Kelvin what type of Video Card you have? | 04:42 |
| Kleidersack | thoreauputic_: sorry, I should read whole command :-( | 04:42 |
| kelvin911 | i use xv b4 | 04:42 |
| danny | thoreaputic_ can i PM you? | 04:43 |
| Shadow420 | gogeta sudo apt-get remove packagename | 04:43 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: keep it in channel so others can help and maybe learn too | 04:43 |
| gogeta | ? | 04:43 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 04:43 |
| Shadow420 | n-iCe sudo apt-get remove packagename | 04:43 |
| gogeta | naa bad | 04:43 |
| danny | alright, well what do i type to get to xserv or whatever it is? | 04:43 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: did you try what I suggested? In a tty ? | 04:43 |
| gogeta | --purge remove | 04:43 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy, there is a aptitude command, what's the difference? | 04:44 |
| Shadow420 | Kelvin what type of Video Card you have? | 04:44 |
| danny | thoreauputic_ whats a tty? :x | 04:44 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: X runs on F7 usually - so alt+F7 | 04:44 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: the black text mode you get with ctrl+alt+F1-6 :) | 04:44 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: there isn't a difference other than that aptitude supports more options and when started with no arguments it provices an interactive text-pased package manager interface | 04:44 |
| Shadow420 | Kelvin911 what type of Video Card you have? | 04:44 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 best way is use the eq the direct mode that lets you use it is the best | 04:45 |
| Starnestommy | *provides | 04:45 |
| danny | alt+f7 doesn't do anything, either | 04:45 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 i think it was xv or the other one xvb or something | 04:45 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: tty = Teletype ( it's a hnagover from long ago when terminals were really teletypes) | 04:45 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: are you in the text mode? | 04:45 |
| Shadow420 | danny ctrl-alt-f7 | 04:45 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 if its still flikering i would say driver thing | 04:45 |
| thoreauputic_ | danny: ctrl-alt-F1 or ( F2 etc) | 04:46 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 or maybe some compiz tqeaking | 04:46 |
| thoreauputic_ | Shadow420: not needed from a tty | 04:46 |
| n-iCe | I see Starnestommy and how do I update a package? | 04:46 |
| kelvin911 | compiz tweaking how? | 04:46 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 do you have the compiz confige manager installed | 04:46 |
| kelvin911 | yes | 04:46 |
| thoreauputic_ | Shadow420: in fact if you use alt+aroow you eventually get back to X - try it :) | 04:46 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 go to it and slect enable comiz for video | 04:46 |
| thoreauputic_ | Shadow420: ctrl+alt+F* is only needed in X | 04:47 |
| kelvin911 | where? | 04:47 |
| Shadow420 | thoreauputic_ true | 04:47 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 man i cant tell you now lol | 04:47 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 been a wile | 04:47 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: it's the same command for installing one | 04:47 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 but i knoe its there | 04:47 |
| === adsf is now known as WootOnLinux | ||
| kelvin911 | i am in compizConfig Settings manager | 04:47 |
| n-iCe | Starnestommy, the thing is when I try to install again says 2 to be updated, and it isn't updating it | 04:48 |
| kelvin911 | i can only find video playback option | 04:48 |
| kelvin911 | and it is enabled | 04:48 |
| Starnestommy | n-iCe: you might need to run sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:48 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 that it | 04:48 |
| n-iCe | I did Starnestommy | 04:48 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 well then try turning it off then | 04:48 |

| JohninLex | thank you for your help guys | 04:51 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 a sound flicker just enable the sound buffer | 04:52 |
| mutk | WootOnLinux, Unlikely that 're-installing drivers' will fix the problem. | 04:52 |
| kelvin911 | not sound | 04:52 |
| kelvin911 | its the video | 04:52 |
| kelvin911 | where to enable sound buffer? | 04:52 |
| WootOnLinux | mutk: what i want to really know is why teh modules wer eturned off, they worked fine on an out of the box linux install | 04:52 |
| gogeta | kelvin911 in sound lol | 04:52 |
| WootOnLinux | mutk: and im using ubuntu 7.10 btw | 04:52 |
| danny | got it workin | 04:52 |

| jjt009 | haylo | 04:54 |
| WootOnLinux | im fairly new to linux.. how do i run ifconfig command? sudo ifconfig? | 04:54 |
| jjt009 | Woot: just ifconfig | 04:54 |
| mutk | WootOnLinux, Should be able to run it just like that - no sudo | 04:54 |
| Shadow420 | I can't wait until hardy is released | 04:55 |
| jjt009 | anybody know where i can go to talk about eclipse on ubuntu | 04:55 |

| zero-cool | how can i compile own kernel | 04:55 |
| WootOnLinux | i dont see an IP .. no | 04:55 |
| thoreauputic_ | WootOnLinux: one possible thing to try with network-manager sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 04:55 |
| JohninLex | anyone in here know how to write a widget scrip??? | 04:55 |
| jburd | What is a "widget scrip?" | 04:56 |
| WootOnLinux | Thorea: let me give it a shot | 04:56 |
| astro76 | n-iCe: if you type a command in the terminal which you don't have, it will tell you how to install it | 04:56 |
| thoreauputic_ | WootOnLinux: that sometimes gets nm working again | 04:56 |
| kelvin911 | could that be video driver issue? | 04:56 |
| jjt009 | jburd: ok, i'm have some problem when running code String.contains in IBM compiler (eclipse) | 04:56 |
| kelvin911 | are there many nvidia driver just like so many of them for windows? | 04:56 |
| zero-cool | i would like compile my kernel | 04:56 |
| jjt009 | it works once in a while, but not always | 04:56 |
| jjt009 | it's extremely strange | 04:56 |
| jjt009 | anyone aware of this bug?> | 04:56 |
| JohninLex | it is a active desktop image, kida like a gilf | 04:56 |
| n-iCe | astro76, that was true! didn't know it thank you! | 04:56 |
| WootOnLinux | I restarted it..i dont see a wireless card.. and eth0 isnt connecting | 04:57 |
| WootOnLinux | could xinetd have messed something up? | 04:57 |
| mutk | WootOnLinux, inet addr: NUMBER is not there? | 04:57 |
| thoreauputic_ | WootOnLinux: you haven't given it very long... | 04:57 |
| jburd | jjt009: You'll need to be more specific than that. Paste a code sample, the steps you took to reproduce the bug, what you expect, and what occurs. dpaste.com | 04:57 |
| mutk | WootOnLinux, xinetd has little to do with the network inerfaces. | 04:57 |
| thoreauputic_ | WootOnLinux: Ubuntu doesn't use xinetd | 04:57 |
| WootOnLinux | i had to install it | 04:57 |
| WootOnLinux | for vmware | 04:57 |
| mutk | thoreauputic_, It is availavle as an option though | 04:57 |
| thoreauputic_ | ah | 04:57 |
| jjt009 | jburd: hold | 04:57 |
| thoreauputic_ | mutk: sure | 04:58 |
| WootOnLinux | in my original question i said.. i installed VMware for windows | 04:58 |
| WootOnLinux | and it did a whole lot of network bridging | 04:58 |
| WootOnLinux | and shortly after that i think my internet stopped working | 04:58 |
| zero-cool | can somebody tell me i wanna compile my kernel on ubuntu | 04:58 |
| WootOnLinux | so im assuming that is the culprit. and no the NM restart didnt work. | 04:58 |
| astro76 | !kernel | zero-cool | 04:58 |
| ubotu | zero-cool: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 04:58 |
| WootOnLinux | and there is no INternet Adr: # after eth 0. | 04:58 |
| thoreauputic_ | WootOnLinux: ah I see - hmm, don't know much about vmware, sorry | 04:58 |

| gogeta | WootOnLinux bridging doesent liek windows | 04:59 |

| ClickClickBoom | how come the distro ships with porn as the default background | 05:03 |
| mutk | WootOnLinux, VMware runs a service script at boot time on most Linuxes. Could stop that, and set it to NOT start at boot. Reboot the system and see if that has an effect. Although I don' think it should. | 05:03 |
| ouellettesr_ | how can i make ubuntu viewable from a windows vista pc? they are both connected to a router. | 05:03 |

| Greenbox | hey, does anyone know a workaround for the bug that kills torrents in ubuntu 7.10? | 05:05 |
| WootOnLinux | ok.. let me take a look | 05:06 |

| ouellettesr_ | jburd, im trying to make a folder on my pc (ubuntu) show up under vista media center to watch movies, i dont think I can do that with samba can i? | 05:06 |
| jburd | jjt009: The code doesn't answer all my questions directly. Though, I have a suggestion: "if (comp.trim ().equals ("a") == false && comp.trim ().equals ("the") == false && comp.trim ().equals ("some") == false && comp.trim ().length () > 2)" Why are you trimming the value of comp per comparison? | 05:06 |
| WootOnLinux | gogeta: i dont see any options?? | 05:06 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux there is | 05:07 |
| WootOnLinux | hmm.. | 05:07 |
| mutk | thoreauputic_, That was odd. I must have auto ignore boofheads on. I was wondering why he was kicked. | 05:07 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux on your vm itself | 05:07 |
| thoreauputic_ | mutk: trolling, basically | 05:07 |
| jjt009 | jburd: yeah, i guess i could set a string to comp.trim () | 05:07 |
| mutk | thoreauputic_, Then scrolled up . I completely missed it.. | 05:07 |
| WootOnLinux | ahh i c it.. k lets see if this changes anything | 05:07 |
| L_inf | How can I kill a process from the Terminal ?? | 05:07 |
| WootOnLinux | gogeta: ur saying this will solve my linux problem? | 05:07 |
| jjt009 | jburd: but that wouldn't solve the problem | 05:07 |
| jjt009 | jburd: i'm thinking of just submitting this as a bug | 05:08 |
| jburd | ouellettesr_: An Ubuntu samba volume appears like just another Windows share to your Windows network. If you can mount a Windows share, you can mount a Samba share. | 05:08 |
| jjt009 | jburd: it's beyond understanding | 05:08 |
| magnus|msc | L_inf: kill <id> | 05:08 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux change all those bridges issues yes | 05:08 |
| Starnestommy | L_inf: "kill pid" where "pid" is the process's pid number | 05:08 |
| jburd | jjt009: You'll need to answer these questions specifically: 1. Brief description of the problem. 2. How to reproduce it. 3. What you expected. 4. What happened instead. | 05:08 |
| WootOnLinux | gogeta: ok i changed my vmware to nat.. no luck in linux tho...still cant connect to internet | 05:08 |
| * Agent_bob likes killall something | 05:08 | |
| gogeta | (Settings > Configuration Editor | 05:09 |
| mutk | thoreauputic_, Quite often the troll attempt is realy a method to ID who's an op.. I guess you realise that. | 05:09 |
| WootOnLinux | gogeta: Btw linux is my main OS.. the VMWare is runnign windows.. dnt know if thats diff | 05:09 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux now you need to remve the bridge in linux | 05:09 |
| underscore | quick question: rythmbox does not save the changes to song titles when I close it and reopen it. How do I fix this? | 05:09 |
| WootOnLinux | ahhh i c | 05:09 |
| thoreauputic_ | mutk: it isn't a secret :) | 05:09 |
| WootOnLinux | how do i do that? god i feel so dumb lol | 05:09 |
| L_inf | Starnestommy: Where can I see the id number?? | 05:09 |
| ritalin | hai2u guys | 05:09 |
| magnus|msc | is there a software which reduces the usable ram ??? | 05:09 |
| thoreauputic_ | mutk: just check the access list for the channel | 05:09 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux i duno you set it up | 05:09 |
| Starnestommy | L_inf: look in System > Administration > System Monitor | 05:09 |
| underscore | For example, when I change a typo in a missnamed song, next time I start rhythmbox, the song is misnamed again | 05:09 |
| ritalin | how can i get my plugins to work on firefox 3? | 05:09 |
| WootOnLinux | ok where would i look for the bridge? | 05:10 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux i would assume in network | 05:10 |
| WootOnLinux | i didnt actually set it up :P | 05:10 |
| ouellettesr_ | jburd, ok, just to clarify, i need to setup samba on the ubuntu machine, or the vista machine? I am trying to share a folder on ubuntu for vista | 05:10 |
| jburd | ouellettesr_: On the Ubuntu machine. System > Administration > Shared Folders. | 05:11 |
| ritalin | hey | 05:11 |
| L_inf | Is there a way of knowing the process id without the system monitor??? | 05:11 |
| ritalin | i need some halp | 05:11 |
| ritalin | halp meh | 05:11 |
| jburd | L_inf: Yes, pgrep processname | 05:11 |
| ritalin | ff3 and plugins? out of luck or can they work? | 05:12 |
| jburd | You can view a process tree using pstree | 05:12 |
| thoreauputic_ | L_inf: lots - pidof, pgrep, ps aux |grep process | 05:12 |
| WootOnLinux | i dont see any network bridges anywhere | 05:12 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux might ned to reboot for vmware to remve the bridge controller as well | 05:12 |
| WootOnLinux | hmm ok | 05:12 |
| Agent_bob | thoreauputic_ L_inf pidof <name> | 05:12 |
| thoreauputic_ | Agent_bob: well, yes | 05:13 |
| underscore | Rythmbox is not remembering changes to song titles. Anyone know how to fix this?? | 05:13 |
| On3 | editing /etc/fstab, how do i set it up if i have about 5 partitions with EXT3 formats? | 05:13 |
| Agent_bob | On3 man fstab it's standard format for all fs types | 05:14 |
| yosef | not | 05:14 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, im trying to install quota, do i need to set it up | 05:14 |
| jnetfreshmex | i added vlc and my movie plays much better than with totem but the playback is sketchy and stalls a lot. the dvd is new so no scratches. | 05:15 |
| yosef | how do reinstall extras in ubuntu? | 05:15 |
| Agent_bob | On3 actually i've never setup disk quatas so maybe you should consult someone else on that. | 05:15 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, okay thanks :) | 05:15 |
| ouellettesr_ | jburd, ok, found that, the folder doesnt seem to be showing up on vista, do I have to reboot? | 05:16 |
| Agent_bob | On3 for most fstab questions i can answer tho. and your welcome. | 05:16 |
| jjt009 | jburd: ok looks like i got it figured | 05:16 |
| yosef | Hello guys I am a new comer to linux world ! | 05:16 |
| jjt009 | jburd: thanks | 05:16 |
| jburd | ouellettesr_: I don't use Windows much so I can't say. Rebooting Windows may work (accidentally). | 05:16 |
| ouellettesr_ | lol | 05:16 |
| jburd | jjt009: np | 05:16 |
| ouellettesr_ | ill give it a try | 05:17 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux still around lol | 05:17 |
| jnetfreshmex | my dvd playback is stalling. what can i do? | 05:18 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, what about setting up proftpd? can u help with the set up of that? | 05:18 |
| tro | are there any tools to help build a .deb from a set of files? | 05:18 |
| Agent_bob | On3 maybe. proftpd is pretty streight forward | 05:19 |
| gogeta | WootOnLinux you die on me lol | 05:19 |
| drivetrax | how to install tar.gz programs? | 05:20 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, how would i make the default directory for uploads and downloads something like /downloads | 05:20 |
| guest___ | .. | 05:20 |
| guest___ | hello | 05:20 |
| guest___ | i need some help ... http://images.torrentmove.com/show.php?id=66e7457680f9a765dbaf05a552b36a2d | 05:21 |
| Agent_bob | On3 install proftpd and edit /etc/proftpd or what ever it's config is called anymore and set the base (root) dir to /downloads/ | 05:21 |
| guest___ | i can't mount ntfs partition which installed windows | 05:22 |
| jburd | guest___: Reboot into Windows. Run a full diskcheck on those volumes and then get back into Ubuntu. | 05:22 |
| gogeta | :-( where WootOnLinux go | 05:22 |
| jnetfreshmex | please help with my dvd playback! i removed totem and installed VLC. still no luck tho. | 05:22 |
| jburd | guest___: It appears you were using Windows when a power failure occurred. Windows locks NTFS volumes in such a scenario. | 05:22 |
| xu | dg | 05:22 |
| Agent_bob | On3 alternatively you could edit the /etc/passwd and set the proftp user's home to /downloads/ should achieve the same end. | 05:22 |
| Shoopuf | I don't want to wait 3 days... I've been waiting forever! If I download the current RC will I have to download Ubuntu again in 3 days when it is released? :p | 05:23 |
| ^rastamn^ | clear | 05:23 |
| jburd | guest___: Rebooting into Windows, running a disk check and booting back into Ubuntu should fix it. | 05:23 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, where it has commented out DefaultRoot ~ | 05:23 |
| d-bos | no shoopuf. | 05:23 |
| guest___ | jburd : i can't get into windows mode ... or even save mode | 05:23 |
| Agent_bob | On3 yeah | 05:23 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, thanks | 05:23 |
| balleyn1 | Shoopuf: nope, any changes will come through updates | 05:23 |
| guest___ | i mean...windows must be corrupts | 05:23 |
| Shoopuf | Thanks, downloading now. :) Hope the sound works this time. :P | 05:24 |
| jburd | guest___: That's not news to me. Windows does not read its own file system way too many times. I've had to recover client data using Linux and ntfs-3g. | 05:24 |
| n-iCe | how can I install the musictracker to pidgin?? | 05:24 |
| drivetrax | guest___: did you format the windows while installing Linux? | 05:24 |
| jburd | guest___: You can force mount NTFS partitions though. No guarantees there. | 05:24 |
| guest___ | <drivetrax --- no sir | 05:24 |
| Shoopuf | n-iCe: type /join #pidgin ... They have their own IRC channel. :) | 05:25 |
| atlef | n-iCe: synaptic | 05:25 |
| gogeta | < beats windows with a imac | 05:25 |
| guest___ | <jburd> --- i already force to mount that partition | 05:25 |
| drivetrax | mbr is messed | 05:25 |
| n-iCe | atlef, what plugin I don't find it with that name | 05:25 |
| guest___ | but it doesn't work | 05:25 |
| gogeta | drivetrax sueprgrub | 05:25 |
| jburd | guest___: When you try to load Windows, what error message do you see? | 05:25 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, just about to say it didnt work! but, i noticed hey, i didnt restart proftpd :p | 05:25 |
| atlef | n-iCe: pidgin-musictracker | 05:26 |
| guest___ | <jburd> some file system couldn't read | 05:26 |
| cirkit_ | For some reason when I put my laptop in suspend / sleep and bring it back, I lose all sound. I don't get any messages about soundcard being in use, just nothing comes out and volume is all the way up, any ideas? | 05:26 |
| Agent_bob | On3 jinks. the thought crossed my mind to remind you.... | 05:26 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, hehehe | 05:26 |
| hanophix33 | my ibm t30's fan constantly runs and since has become very loud and grinding, any ideas? | 05:26 |
| jburd | guest___: Can you get the exact error message? | 05:26 |
| guest___ | <jburd> when windows is starting ... it just reboot | 05:26 |
| gogeta | :'( | 05:26 |
| phynix | is there an hardy channel? | 05:27 |
| drivetrax | change any bios setting? | 05:27 |
| jburd | guest___: I'd suggest a better strategy for storing your personal data. Don't store it in the same partition as the Windows installation. Use a separate partition so even when you lose the OS, you can still recover data. | 05:27 |
| gogeta | !hardy | 05:27 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 05:27 |

| On3 | Agent_bob, i set the base directory to my /web/ but when i connect it gives me a folder that isnt my home directory or /web/ | 05:30 |
| gogeta | Aldenor same thing you will just have both | 05:30 |
| jburd | boselecta: Try running firefox from the terminal like this: firefox-3.0 or firefox | 05:31 |
| gogeta | Aldenor kubuntu and ubuntu | 05:31 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, i created a directory called /secure/ in it, how would i search for this directory now? | 05:31 |
| jburd | boselecta: note the diagnostics if any that appear at the term | 05:31 |
| Agent_bob | On3 find / -type d -name secure 2>/dev/null | 05:31 |
| boselecta | oh ok. it's running fine, and i'm listening to streaming radio. but like the screen isn't repainting properly. | 05:31 |
| boselecta | and it won't raise or get focus properly. | 05:32 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, oh wait, its still going to my home directory... | 05:32 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, okay so now... how would i create a new user (like FTP_USER) then add it to proftpd and when they connect it goes to /web/ | 05:32 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, i have the new user created but what about the proftpd bit? | 05:32 |

| anathematic | thanks gogeta | 05:33 |
| On3 | jburd, cause i want to set up pretty much an ISP webserver | 05:33 |
| jburd | On3: You realise that you may be opening up your network to exploits? | 05:34 |
| On3 | jburd, except its more for training and educational purposes and will be taken down in about 2 - 3 hours once i get it installed then for actual use | 05:34 |
| Sturmeh | and that your isp may not allow such conduct | 05:34 |
| Agent_bob | On3 normally "anonymus" is used for that. useradd -d /web anonymus or who ever... | 05:34 |

| maestrotech | How do i form a command line syntax to send an application to my second monitor. (:1) | 05:35 |

| hanophix33 | how come firefox bin takes like 50 percent of cpu? | 05:35 |

| Agent_bob | bouma ummm without writing a script not toggle, but; you can use the windows keys or the like to shift higher and lower tty's i can give you a command for it if you like. | 05:39 |
| Bubble_tea | FastZ E: couldn't find pkg avant-window-navigator | 05:39 |
| goodhabit | sparr_, xmms is not developing any more. Audacious is replacement for xmms. | 05:39 |
| Bubble_tea | Does anyone have that problem? | 05:40 |
| hanophix33 | gkrellm shows that my gpu is at 128c | 05:40 |

| gogeta | ctrl alt f | 05:40 |
| gogeta | f2 | 05:40 |

| sparr_ | goodhabit: xmms had a release like 5 months ago, thats a lot less "not developing" than many other packages | 05:40 |
| FastZ | Bubble_tea: gimme a second. you have to add some repos to your /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:40 |
| * kindofabuzz gives FastZ | 05:40 | |
| _aeGIs | How do I change the default icon for specific mime type apps? | 05:40 |

| Agent_bob | bouma are you sure you are not talking about that gnome-terminal that you get from the gnome menu itom named "console" (a terrable misnomer) | 05:41 |

| bouma | Agent_bob: im 100% sure im talking about the real "text" (depending on kernel framebuffer settings) mode console | 05:45 |
| Agent_bob | On3 welcome. and you are learning some of the "most basic" and powerful linux commands your first day.... | 05:46 |
| gogeta | Agent_bob what framebufer mode? | 05:46 |
| On3 | Agent_bob, its kind of sad but ive been using Knoppix and Ubuntu on my desktop for a while, but always my Win2003 server was ok, but now i think its time to upgrade to something alittle more powerful... Go ubuntu server! | 05:47 |
| khin | hey guys, im running dapper and sometimes, firefox (v. 1.5.0.12) just randomly quits. all my windows at once, gone | 05:47 |
| Agent_bob | bouma ok, my answer stands as perscribed then. | 05:47 |
| Agent_bob | bouma ummm without writing a script not toggle, but; you can use the windows keys or the like to shift higher and lower tty's i can give you a command for it if you like. | 05:47 |
| khin | it doesnt happen too often but def enough to be annoying | 05:47 |
| gogeta | On3 err thats weaker | 05:47 |
| blind | khin: well, try upgrading firefox | 05:47 |
| jburd | ouellettesr: Google "smbpasswd ubuntu" | 05:47 |
| n-iCe | PCRE library is needed; please make sure you have the PCRE development anybody knows the package name??? | 05:47 |
| On3 | gogeta, what do u mean by that? | 05:47 |
| gogeta | On3 server is just text ubuntu w lamp | 05:47 |
| On3 | gogeta, lets not get into a linux v. windows battle here | 05:47 |
| gogeta | On3 lol | 05:48 |
| Agent_bob | play nice | 05:48 |
| On3 | gogeta, i was meaning swapping from windows 2003 to ubuntu server :p | 05:48 |
| gogeta | On3 not talking windows you said going to server | 05:48 |
| On3 | gogeta, sorry, that was my miscommunication :S | 05:48 |
| gogeta | On3 unless you whant text mode :) | 05:48 |
| blind | on a server you don't need much more. | 05:49 |
| gogeta | blind :) | 05:49 |
| gogeta | blind yea not mutch text mode cant do | 05:49 |
| khin | ok. another problem: sometimes, i cannot start any programs or even shut down the computer. if i click anything in the taskbar, nothing happens. i have to do a hard shut down. honestly the environment is less stable than windows xp. | 05:49 |
| khin | im running dapper btw | 05:49 |
| Agent_bob | gogeta besides cli based linux is not pre'se "weaker" than +gui anyway | 05:49 |
| gogeta | blind hell you can play a a movie in framebuffer mode if you whant | 05:50 |
| blind | khin: well, while dapper is an LTS distro, there have been three upgrades since then that I'd recommend if you're having problems | 05:50 |
| gogeta | Agent_bob well if you wanna a gui you better w desktop + server tools | 05:50 |
| HipShot | hey quick question, what is that new apt that automatically installs and updates video drivers for Ubuntu? | 05:50 |
| khin | blind, ok. i haven't upgraded mainly because i'm afraid with three upgrades at once, somehow everything will break horribly | 05:51 |
| blind | khin: you can upgrade from dapper to gutsy (the latest) although I hear hardy comes out shortly. | 05:51 |
| Agent_bob | gogeta or server w/ gui added same smoke stack, different brand name. | 05:51 |
| chris062689 | Whats the channel for Ubuntu Eee? | 05:51 |
| gogeta | Agent_bob lol thats all desktop would be | 05:52 |
| gogeta | Agent_bob a server with a gui | 05:52 |
| gogeta | Agent_bob lol | 05:52 |
| Agent_bob | gogeta that's what i said "same smoke stack, different brand name" but we are OT | 05:52 |
| gogeta | Agent_bob knothing agenst it i can ran text mode like a pro | 05:52 |

| _Net | How do you make a launcher for something using a custom icon? | 05:54 |
| gogeta | :) | 05:54 |
| _Net | I remember doing it before, I cant seem to find out how now. | 05:54 |
| blind | oh, so yeah. 3 days depending on your time zone :P | 05:55 |
| FastZ | Bubble_tea: well first of all you have to have Compiz-Fusion running on your machine... then to start AWN after you install it, you just go to Applications>Accessories>Avant Window Navigator | 05:55 |
| FastZ | Bubble_tea: without Compiz-Fusion, you're AWN isn't gonna work | 05:55 |
| blind | _Net: same way you'd make a regular launcher, then you can change the icon | 05:55 |
| _Net | I can change the embelm but I dont see any where that says Choose/Browse for icon | 05:56 |
| leileilol | hi | 05:56 |
| leileilol | jeeeez 1200 | 05:56 |
| n-iCe | Agent_bob, workes, thanks, where can I find the package names? | 05:56 |
| blind | _Net: when you click the 'properties' button (im assuming you're getting the same screen as me), do you get the icon in the top left? | 05:56 |
| FastZ | _Net: when you create the launcher, it should have a button with a picture of a springboard, just click on there and then navigate to where your icon is | 05:56 |
| _Net | Oh Blind. | 05:57 |
| _Net | Thank you sir, I didnt notice that. | 05:57 |

| Iced_Eagle | For games, I don't believe there is. | 06:00 |
| shadeofgrey | no i mean for the console | 06:00 |
| Iced_Eagle | I think the console volume control is only for media | 06:00 |
| mutk | shadeofgrey, It actually depens on what sort of speakers they are. and what the vol control really does. | 06:00 |
| FastZ | shadeofgrey: eh, it just didnt click that there might have been a logical reason why someone wouldnt be able to reach the volume switch | 06:00 |
| Andre_Gondim | does anyone know witch pack may i translate channel source? | 06:00 |
| mutk | shadeofgrey, If the vol control is for a pre-amp built into the speakers, then no there is no software accessable master | 06:01 |
| shadeofgrey | FasZ dude its no big deal. a majority of the public has never interacted with a disabl;ed person before. im used to it | 06:01 |
| Iced_Eagle | shadeofgrey: I know. The only volume slider I know of is when you're listening to music on the 360. I think everything else just gets outputted at full volume. | 06:01 |

| LSG | joetheodd That means you have some problem with Compiz | 06:41 |
| Myste | Monkeybritches: Did that, and Ubuntu is still detecting it. | 06:41 |
| pipsqeek | I haven't watched TV in years. too much rubbish to filter. | 06:41 |
| kclemens | Kubuntu<Windows | 06:41 |
| joetheodd | markus_, correct -- the nvidia driver | 06:42 |
| LSG | joetheodd Lemme check if i can find your problem | 06:42 |
| Myste | it's an AC97 chipset | 06:42 |
| monkeybritches | Strange, because it shouldn't if you disable it in the BIOS... | 06:42 |
| joetheodd | LSC, I'm using a MX4000 I believe, if that'll help you. | 06:42 |
| cal | hey | 06:42 |
| cal | I need help with root's pas | 06:42 |
| cal | the one I set when I installed Ubuntu isn't working | 06:42 |
| joetheodd | cal, what's up? | 06:42 |
| swalko | sudo passwd | 06:43 |
| ng0n | cal use sudo | 06:43 |
| LSG | joetheodd I'm assuming you have the restricted drivers enabled, right? | 06:43 |
| Myste | Yeah. I'm stumped. | 06:43 |
| * cal tries sudo | 06:43 | |
| joetheodd | LSC, correct | 06:43 |
| monkeybritches | Are you sure you saved the settings when you exited the BIOS setup? | 06:43 |
| Myste | Yeah | 06:43 |
| pipsqeek | cal: copy and paste the command you're trying to execute | 06:43 |
| Myste | It's been disabled since the day I built this machine | 06:43 |
| cal | pipsqeek: I just need to log in as root | 06:43 |
| cal | and my pass isn't working | 06:44 |
| pipsqeek | you don't log in as root | 06:44 |
| Myste | I double checked it, disabled the game ports as well just to be sure. | 06:44 |
| Myste | Even so, why is it loading the modules I added to the blacklist? | 06:44 |
| markus_ | joetheodd: Try starting compiz from a terminal and post the output. `compiz --replace` | 06:44 |
| pipsqeek | you log in as your user and then su to root once you do what swalko suggested | 06:44 |
| gogeta | Myste why not just set the defult device on linux to your other card | 06:44 |
| LSG | joetheodd It's weird though, i've installed Ubuntu the other day on my sister's machine (she has an nVidia 8600 GT or something) and i had no problems | 06:45 |
| cal | well.. | 06:45 |
| LSG | joetheodd Apparently it's a well known issue | 06:45 |
| cal | I can't get the root pass to change | 06:45 |
| swalko | sudo passwd | 06:45 |
| cal | hmm... | 06:45 |
| cal | ooh | 06:45 |
| swalko | type your pass | 06:45 |
| cal | I'm lucky now | 06:45 |
| cal | I wrote it down | 06:45 |
| FloodBot1 | cal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:45 |
| swalko | and then new root pass 2x | 06:45 |
| kclemens | what does rm / do | 06:46 |
| Myste | Gogeta: Because OSS has decided that it wants to use that card and won't use my SBlive. | 06:46 |
| gogeta | lol dont do it | 06:46 |
| legend2440 | joetheodd: have you tried metacity --replace in terminal? | 06:46 |
| acidicbase | i always alias my rm with confirmation | 06:46 |
| joetheodd | legend2440, pastebinning compiz --replace right now | 06:47 |
| gogeta | kclemens melts your system | 06:47 |
| kclemens | a-v told me to do rm / | 06:47 |

| n-iCe | calls between computers | 06:47 |
| zcat[1] | gratis yes, libre no. | 06:47 |
| pipsqeek | ubotu: you probably lost grub after the windows install because Windows wrote over the MBR with it's own crap. | 06:47 |
| LSG | n-iCe Yeah, you don't need to pay for that | 06:48 |
| pipsqeek | lol, ubotu is a bot? | 06:48 |

| zcat[1] | no windows has ever been on this machine | 06:48 |
| gogeta | oetheodd guess if you install it yourself | 06:49 |
| joetheodd | gogeta, I figured, I had to make sure I put "easy" in there. :P. | 06:49 |

| Myste | or am I way off track? | 06:52 |
| Marupa | I have a grabbee-X video device which worked fine under 7.04, but now trying to use it under 7.10, it doesn't work. I get a blue 'no signal' screen as user, and a green flickery screen as root, when using tvtime, which is the program I used beforehand. | 06:52 |
| zcat[1] | bah, 'tab' in grub is giving me an actual tab, not a command-line completeion :( | 06:53 |
| Marupa | dmesg picks it up, as it did before, so there's no change that I can tell on my end. It works in windows, just not in linux now. | 06:53 |
| Leeuw | how can I change the behaviour of deleteon a mp3-player ? (I want to delete directly, instead of putting in a trashcan on the device itself, wich doesn't make room for other stuff; have to delete twice this way, first delete, than delete trash.100 folder; is pretty annoyingk)) | 06:54 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] e edits in grub | 06:54 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] and c i link = command line only | 06:54 |
| zcat[1] | OK, root is /dev/sda2 or hd(0,1) in grub.. if I run grub-install it keeps trlling me there's no bios devices... It was installed on this drive before... what do I type? | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | gogeta: sudo grub from a booted system? | 06:56 |
| Myste | Sound Preferences shows two devices, the SBlive on ALSA mixer and the AC97 on OSS. I want to get rid of the AC97 | 06:56 |
| Myste | Or else point the OSS mixer to the SBLive card | 06:57 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] your trying to boot from a command line in grub? | 06:57 |
| gogeta | boot /dev/hda0,0 | 06:57 |

| monkeybritches | Does anyone know what comes after Intrepid Ibex? J-something... ? | 06:58 |
| Marupa | Any ideas for the video isue? | 06:58 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] a nice tool for that is the grub live cd supergrub | 06:58 |
| Leeuw | Jumbled Jay-bird | 06:58 |
| zcat[1] | drives that have stage1 on them are /dev/sda2 aka hd(0,1) and /dev/sdb1 aka hd(1,0) | 06:58 |
| monkeybritches | Sorry Marupa, no idea | 06:59 |
| legend2440 | Leeuw: in nautilus open edit >preferences>behaviour >bypass trash option | 06:59 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] has menus and stuff can install grub anywhere | 06:59 |
| Leeuw | legend2440: thanx ! will try | 06:59 |
| zcat[1] | I want to fix up grum's MBR it's currently looking for /dev/sda1 | 06:59 |
| blind | just upgraded from edgy to feisty and now q3a won't run: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63893/ | 06:59 |
| Leeuw | legend2440: does that go for all devices than ? Or can I set for that device only ? | 07:00 |
| zcat[1] | How do I put grub back on the MBR so that it looks for stage1 on hd(0,1) instead of hd(0,0) | 07:00 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] what did i suggest | 07:00 |
| zcat[1] | without burning another CD... | 07:00 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] ubuntus only gonna install on the first drive | 07:00 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] then make a supergrub floppy | 07:00 |
| legend2440 | Leeuw: i think you have a choice wheter to put in trash or delete without putting in trash | 07:00 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntu''s not doing JACK.. I have the grub command line.. btw no floppy drive in this box | 07:01 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] then wast a cd | 07:01 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] its handy to keep around | 07:01 |
| zcat[1] | I don't have any spare CD's | 07:01 |
| legend2440 | Leeuw: i think all devices but not positive | 07:01 |
| gogeta | got a pen drive lol | 07:01 |
| monkeybritches | zcat[1]: Read up on grub here: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 07:01 |
| zcat[1] | I have a bootable system on hda, I'm in it. I have the grub command line. this MUST be possible | 07:01 |

| zcat[1] | grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 | 07:02 |
| zcat[1] | find /boot/grub/stage1 | 07:02 |

| FloodBot1 | zcat[1]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:02 |
| zcat[1] | Now what do I do with this? | 07:02 |
| liuyang | hi | 07:03 |
| Leeuw | legend2440: yeah, I found it, itś all devices, gives xtra option in contxt.menu | 07:03 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] that tells you wehere to put grub | 07:03 |
| gogeta | zcat[1] 1 would be your second drive | 07:03 |
| zcat[1] | I know where the drives are; I know where stage one is; how do I tell grub from the commandline to rewrite the mbr on hd(0,0) with looking for stage1 at hd(0,1) | 07:03 |
| snarkster | my laptop continually runs at 700 Mhz instead of 1Ghz.. How do i make it run at full power when running on A/C. | 07:03 |
| zcat[1] | Yes, I am booted up from my second drive. I want to fix grub on my first drive | 07:04 |
| gogeta | grub install hd(1,0) i would assume | 07:04 |
| mutk | snarkster, Give it some work to do - does it increase the CPU frequ? | 07:04 |
| snarkster | yes when i have alot open | 07:04 |
| snarkster | mutk: yes when i have alot of stuff open.. | 07:05 |
| Leeuw | legend2440: is astrange option thoug, if I set it it deletes right away, but puts in main trashcan instead of tras-folder on device... Think something got lost in translation (using Dutch version) | 07:05 |
| snarkster | i wanted it to always run at full power when on A/C tho | 07:05 |
| ecubuntu | hey guys how have hardy, i have a question? i have my wireless network with mac adress only but with Hardy i can't connect | 07:06 |
| bazhang | ecubuntu: what wireless chipset | 07:06 |
| zcat[1] | how can grub tell me stage1 is on hd0,1 and then in the next command tell me hd0,1 does not exist?!!!!\ | 07:06 |
| legend2440 | Leeuw: i've never enabled that option mysel so i don't know how well it works | 07:06 |
| ecubuntu | intel bazhang | 07:06 |
| Leeuw | legend2440: whatever, it solved my problem anyway, thanx ! (Come to think I allways tell noobz in my day-job (work in PC-center for low-chance-people) to read help and try options, turns out I'm to lazy meself... ;-) | 07:06 |
| zcat[1] | GAH@!!! useless pile of crap | 07:07 |
| snarkster | there are no governors in the cpu freq scaling | 07:07 |
| bazhang | ecubuntu: meet me in #ubuntu+1 for hardy discussion | 07:07 |

| Chris[] | Hello, I just burned a text based install of Ubuntu 6.06 Server Edition, on a CD-R at 4x speed, and apparently 'Packages.gz' is corrupt, I get an error involving md5 and this file during setup | 07:07 |
| liveinteractive | http://onestepdownloads.com | 07:07 |

| Nick123 | Hello | 07:08 |
| liveinteractive | scam or phising | 07:08 |
| Chris[] | Anybody? | 07:08 |
| liveinteractive | http://onestepdownloads.com | 07:09 |
| bazhang | liveinteractive: stop now | 07:09 |
| Nick123 | Does anyone know of a samll free parttion program i can download so i can make my windwos partition smaller so i can install ubuntu | 07:09 |
| monkeybritches | Parted Magic | 07:09 |
| snarkster | nick123: gparted and or qtparted will do that for you if you know how | 07:10 |
| Leeuw | Chris , sometimes there's 'to low'; if you use like 52x cd, the tracks in 4x get 'to deep' sort of. Try 12x, always works best for me, better than 4 | 07:10 |
| bazhang | Nick123: the ubuntu installer will do it for you--resize partition in the install process | 07:10 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: Chris , sometimes there's 'to low'; if you use like 52x cd, the tracks in 4x get 'to deep' sort of. Try 12x, always works best for me, better than 4 | 07:10 |
| Chris[] | Leeuw, I've tried 4x, and 11x | 07:10 |
| liveinteractive | http://onestepdownloads.com | 07:10 |
| blind | Okay, for some reason my sound won't work in certain programs. For instance, I have VBox open and Quake3 won't make any sound, neither will mpd.. but xfmedia and gxine and mplayer make sound.. | 07:10 |

| Chris[] | This also happened when I tried installing debian. | 07:12 |
| snarkster | i just ignored him | 07:12 |
| Aces| | I have a problem. First time trying to install Ubuntu and I get through the Start or Install screen and through the loading screens but once I hear the drums the screen goes black. Through reading the forums its probably my Nvidia card. I tried some of the solutions on the forums but still have had no luck. | 07:12 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: 11x ?? I don't think that speeds xists... You're using the direct-burn option in Nautilus right ? I've tried that several times, seems buggy, allways got errors. Try installing Gnome-burner, that works like a charm, sort of a stripped down NERO, perfect every time | 07:12 |
| Chris[] | No, actually, I'm burning on Windows. | 07:12 |
| Chris[] | But I tried Nautulis before | 07:12 |
| snarkster | does k3b work in gnome? that is by far the best burner software Ive ever used. | 07:13 |
| blind | yes, it does | 07:13 |
| blind | if you've got kdelibs installed | 07:13 |
| Chris[] | Leeuw: It was 11.7x on Nautilus. | 07:14 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: hm, strange.. Maybe you used cd's from market or something (they's sometimes old stock that been in the sun or something | 07:14 |
| blind | Anyone have a clue why my quake3 and mpd can't produce sound, but other programs do? | 07:14 |
| Chris[] | Leeuw, I've burned ISO's with these before. | 07:14 |
| Chris[] | All the other linux-running PCs in my house used isos on these same types of CDs. | 07:14 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: and this one went wrong once, or all the time ? | 07:14 |
| Chris[] | All the time.. | 07:15 |
| Chris[] | Not sure if it makes a difference that I'm trying to install from VMWare.. | 07:15 |
| Chris[] | I don't think it should. | 07:15 |
| Leeuw | Chris[ maybe the ISO's no good (try downloading again, it happened to me once) | 07:15 |
| Chris[] | I would, except I tried 2 versions of Debian (small iso, large iso) and the ubuntu, and nothing worked | 07:15 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: should make no dif | 07:15 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: try dif solutions, but do with RWś for time being, 's cheapurr | 07:16 |
| Chris[] | RWs? | 07:16 |
| gad0 | Chris[], perform a md5 checksum on iso... | 07:16 |
| legend2440 | Aces|: are you using the LiveCD to try and install? | 07:16 |
| Aces| | Yes | 07:16 |
| Chris[] | I've never done stuff with md5, so I'm not sure as to how. | 07:16 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: Read/Write cd's, erasable y' know | 07:17 |
| snarkster | md5sum <file> | 07:17 |
| Chris[] | Wait, what? md5sum the iso? | 07:17 |
| gad0 | Chris[], https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 07:17 |
| snarkster | sure they should provide a md5sum | 07:17 |
| Guest10423 | /server irc.relaychat.net /j #main | 07:17 |
| MRgood | hash can do it too | 07:17 |
| snarkster | yup yup | 07:17 |
| legend2440 | Aces|: sometimes for certain hardware the alternate cd works better | 07:18 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: Try Gnome-burner, or Brasero, that solved my blank-CD eating problem (really, burning CD's with Nautilus has never worked for me) | 07:18 |
| legend2440 | !alternate | 07:18 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 07:18 |
| Aces| | Ok | 07:18 |
| Aces| | Ill download it and give it a try. Thanks. | 07:18 |
| legend2440 | Aces|: ok good luck | 07:18 |
| Leeuw | Aces|: or try Xubuntu; we had problems installing ubuntu, ubuntu alternate, Xubuntu did the trick, later added ubuntu-package, presto ! | 07:19 |
| Leeuw | !xubuntu | 07:19 |
| ubotu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 07:19 |
| wesleysld | ey Rprp o/ | 07:20 |
| Aces| | Ok thanks again. | 07:20 |
| snarkster | Aces|: you could also do that Kubuntu load if you like KDE | 07:20 |
| Aces| | This is my first run all around so Ill have to find something that works and go from there. | 07:21 |
| Chris[] | Leeuw: What about gnomebaker? | 07:21 |
| snarkster | Aces| are you coming from windows? | 07:21 |
| Aces| | Yes | 07:21 |
| snarkster | KDE is very similar to windows | 07:22 |
| Fa | i love kde 4 | 07:22 |
| snarkster | in layout but is WAY more intergrated than any version of windows | 07:22 |
| Fa | oh yeah | 07:22 |
| snarkster | kde4 just isnt stable enough yet | 07:22 |
| Fa | ubuntu with kde 4 beats xp hands down | 07:22 |
| djzn | hi... i have a dilema... I have 2GB of RAM.... should I make a 4GB SWAP partition or a 512MB will do just fine? The most critical thing I do in this computer is convert h.264 videos to VOBs... | 07:22 |
| bazhang | not true kde4 is stable | 07:23 |
| Aces| | Ok | 07:23 |
| Fa | yeah i still love | 07:23 |
| Fa | :P | 07:23 |
| gad0 | snarkster< KDE is very similar to windows > gnome & xfce are similar too ;) | 07:23 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: H :-D:-[, yeah, Gnomebaker, that's what I meant (there's no such thing as gnomeburner; well maybe myself... stup-id me) | 07:23 |
| Fa | kde 4 still has some bugs | 07:23 |
| snarkster | yah KDE4 is beautiful really.. | 07:23 |
| Chris[] | xD, Leeuw. I believe I usually use gnomebaker, I'm trying it now. | 07:23 |
| Exteris | djzn, make a 2gb ram partition, in case you want to hibernate, or 1gb if you're low on disk space | 07:23 |
| snarkster | gad0 this is true that gnome and xfce are similar as well. but KDE almost looks like windows. Makes the newbies feel alot more comfortable I think | 07:24 |
| djzn | Exteris: I never ever hibernate... in fact, I have never used that feature in 15 years using computers | 07:24 |
| Fa | i just can't stand gnome | 07:24 |
| Leeuw | djzn: stick to 2 G, that's the most that can be managed, everything over get's lost in cyberspace... 500 will do fine, I have 4 Gig RAM, use lotsa stuff, never anything gets swapped | 07:24 |
| Fa | xfce is ok | 07:24 |
| Exteris | djzn, (i mean suspend to disk) | 07:24 |
| djzn | no, i don't use that... either the computer is off the plug or running.... | 07:25 |
| mshadle | how do i force a module "e1000e" to be loaded -instead- of "e1000" ? isn't it a modules.conf or modprobe.d line? | 07:25 |
| snarkster | Fa: I hated gnome and was a strict KDE person, just decided to push the envelope and use gnome. When KDE4 reaches 4.1 or higher Ill switch back | 07:25 |
| djzn | because a 4GB swap partition never gets written.... 4GB is quite a space.... | 07:25 |
| Fa | cool | 07:26 |
| Fa | 4.1 suppose to be out in the summer i hear | 07:26 |
| Exteris | djzn, with hibernate you can suspend all ram to disk, power off, and when you boot again, all apps are restored | 07:26 |
| gad0 | did anyone ever had problems with xine/mplayer color settings & nvidia restricted drivers ? | 07:26 |
| snarkster | hibernmate just doesnt work well on this laptop.. I lose sound completely | 07:26 |
| djzn | exteris: will that feature replace the boot process in the future (is replacing?) | 07:27 |
| Exteris | djzn, i don't know, but i like it, give it a try | 07:28 |
| Leeuw | Exteris: does hibernate use the swap ? I didn't know... but how then can a 4G RAM sleep on 2 G swap ? Or does it store states instead of entire RAM like Windoze ? | 07:28 |
| Exteris | Leeuw, you almost never use the full 4G ram for apps, a lot of it is buffer | 07:29 |
| Exteris | Leeuw, i have 2gb ram, 1gb swap and hibernate works fine | 07:29 |
| Leeuw | Exteris: OK, so buffers donb't need sleep ;-) ? | 07:29 |
| Leeuw | Exteris: but are U sure sleepfile ends up on swap ? | 07:30 |
| PhatKat | I'm trying to backup my system, my upgrade from 7.1 to 8.04 didn't go so well. I'm trying to use the Simple Backup Config but. For some reason no it always backs up to the /var/backup folder where I don't have enough space. I want to send the back up to a usb hard drive. Should I try and mount the hard drive as /var/backup? | 07:30 |
| Exteris | !hibernate | Leeuw | 07:30 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:30 |
| Exteris | :@ | 07:30 |
| gad0 | actually its a little more complicated then tat... Leeuw | 07:30 |
| Leeuw | gad0: tell me, I lovoooove needlez knowledzj | 07:31 |
| djzn | i read that with 2GB of RAM, it is silly to have a 2GB/4GB swap partition because it never gets written.... That 512MB wil do just FINE.. if not Less.... | 07:31 |
| Chris[] | Leeuw: The ./dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz file failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your CD-ROM or this file may have been corrupted. [[[Again]]] :( | 07:31 |
| nsandiman | hi, I have a usb infrared device that I want to use on my machine...can anyone explain to me how to go about it? | 07:31 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: and it's always the same file ? | 07:32 |
| gad0 | Leeuw, i have only 1 hand so cant type much... better check on wiki page or google | 07:32 |
| Ntemis | hello | 07:32 |
| Ntemis | i search a tool for printing CD/DVD labels | 07:32 |
| Chris[] | Yep. Would it matter that my processor is AMD, should I be using the other version? I don't think it matters as long as I'm not using 64-bit on a 32-bit.. | 07:32 |
| Ntemis | wich is the best for this? | 07:32 |
| bazhang | Chris[]: this will be a dual boot or only ubuntu | 07:33 |
| MRgood | hello | 07:33 |
| Leeuw | gad0: sure, no sweat, I had already scheduled it in my downtime for work this afternoon... thanx for hinting me thoug, now I know thereś a new thing to be learned, and that makes a good day, right ? right. | 07:33 |
| Chris[] | bazhang: This is through VMWare | 07:34 |
| Gokee2 | Will rm -rf /var/cache/* hurt anything? I mean badly? | 07:35 |
| bazhang | Chris[]: through vmware? what do you mean? you want to install from vmware onto a harddrive, or just run the distro in vmware--what is the guest os | 07:35 |
| Chris[] | The guest os is ubuntu | 07:35 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: well, maybe there is a problem with the virtual install, but my guess is the ISO if it's always same file; try a different mirror for download ? (But use RW' s, don't spend all those blanks on tracing a problem) | 07:35 |
| legend2440 | PhatKat: if you choose "Use custom backup settings" option you can choose where to put the backup under the 'Destination' tab | 07:35 |
| Chris[] | I don't have any RW's lol | 07:35 |
| === MRgood is now known as icesword | ||
| bazhang | Chris[]: not sure of your final goal; please clarify | 07:36 |
| gad0 | Gokee2, wat exactly are you trying todo ? | 07:36 |
| PhatKat | Legend244C: Ya tried that no matter where I set it it always goes to the default /var/backup | 07:37 |
| Leeuw | Chris[]: go get some then, before you use up your whole stock ! | 07:37 |
| Chris[] | I currently have a system with Debian on it, and I wish to create a virtual machine through vmware. This requires that I insert an ubuntu live cd and use the client software to go through the installer. | 07:37 |
| Chris[] | My final goal, pretty much.. get ubuntu to install :P | 07:37 |
| simon_ | Gokee2: aptitude clean? if you're trying to clean out your apt cache | 07:37 |
| PhatKat | I also just tryed to mount my usb hd to /var/backup didn't quite work out now I can't mount it period. | 07:38 |
| Gokee2 | gad0, My hard drive is full so I need to free up a little room to let a dist-upgrade finish | 07:38 |
| legend2440 | PhatKat: thats strange. i've only used sbackup once. i use partimage now. works very well for me | 07:38 |
| chris062689 | OH WOW, theres a rumor The Orange Box is being ported to Linux... sweet. | 07:38 |
| gad0 | Gokee2, then type sudo apt-get clean | 07:38 |
| bazhang | Chris[]: was that meant for me? if you do not use my nick I will miss it; am helping another user in seperate channel | 07:38 |
| Chris[] | Sorry, yes it was, bazhang. | 07:39 |
| PhatKat | I'll try partimage is it in the repo? | 07:39 |
| zero__ | whats the ubuntu 8.04 beta chat channel? | 07:39 |

| bazhang | Chris[]: you have the livecd running? or you already have ubuntu installed and want to install to another machine? not clear here | 07:40 |
| gad0 | Gokee2, then proply del each package mnanually which isnt required by dist-upgrade... lol | 07:40 |
| Gokee2 | Apt is the bigest thing in cache | 07:40 |
| Gokee2 | Is there anything I can delete? | 07:41 |
| Chris[] | I have Debian installed, and am trying to install Ubuntu on a virtual machine, pretty much it's own partition. Kind of like a dual boot. | 07:41 |
| legend2440 | PhatKat: i think so but in order to backup your main partition you have to boot from a cd that has partimage on it so the partition is not mounted as you back it up. I boot from system rescue cd to do backups | 07:41 |

| Ntemis | thanks | 07:47 |
| Ntemis | goodnight all! | 07:48 |
| legend2440 | PhatKat: not sure what you mean. partimage makes a clone of the partition so if there was a problem mounting a drive before you image it the problem will still be there after you restore the partition with partimage | 07:48 |
| bazhang | newusr: this is gutsy or what | 07:49 |
| newusr | yeah | 07:49 |
| bullgard4 | "~$ lsmod | grep 8139; 8139cp 24704 0; 8139too 27520 0."

(There is no modules.conf and no /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.) | 07:49 |
| newusr | devel* | 07:49 |
| bazhang | newusr: what is the kernel--and what is the chipset of the card | 07:49 |
| Chris[] | bazhang: I am going to try from a torrent before I mess with that, which if this doesn't work I'll try tomorrow. | 07:50 |
| newusr | shall i use the pastebin ? | 07:50 |
| legend2440 | PhatKat: oh isee what you mean. yes you can | 07:50 |
| bazhang | newusr: for what? just the one line for the kernel and card chipset is fine here | 07:50 |

| newusr | 07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) | 07:52 |
| bazhang | newusr: and what kernel | 07:52 |

| [LMM]Iowahc | hy there, anyone knows a good script, which deletes folders without mp3|mp4|ogg|wav files in it? | 07:53 |
| PhatKat | Legend244C: OK thank I'm going to copy the whole partition do a clean install then mount it back and copy off what is need also this way I can set a local source for my repo. I just wanted to run it by someone before I went and killed my system also the system rescue is almost done downloading now. | 07:53 |
| prashant___ | bahzhang: i dont realy know its name but u know it comes even when we boot a live cd ( the first image that we see with a progress pipe of booting status) | 07:53 |
| Fivesheep | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto [prashant___] | 07:54 |
| bazhang | prashant___: and what change did you have in mind? | 07:54 |
| newusr | 2.6.24-15-generic | 07:54 |
| newusr | Ubuntu hardy (development branch), kernel 2.6.24-15-generic | 07:54 |
| bazhang | newusr: that is the hardy kernel, but you are using gutsy? any special reason for that? | 07:55 |
| newusr | nopes | 07:55 |
| prashant___ | bazhang: i saw some options on gnome-look and they are nice ;) i shall switch to them . BTW when i installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu the splash screen reads KUBUNTU which i want to get rid of | 07:55 |
| newusr | i just updated the system and it happened | 07:55 |
| newusr | :) | 07:55 |
| newusr | is it possible to get wireless working again ? | 07:56 |
| legend2440 | PhatKat: with partimage you can only restore the whole partition. its not like drive image that had a browser where you could select certain files or directories to restore | 07:56 |
| bazhang | newusr: what does lsb_release -a report | 07:56 |
| siimo | yello | 07:56 |
| PhatKat | Ok well I guess I keep trying to mount my usb hd in the /var | 07:57 |
| bazhang | prashant___: then boot using gdm and not kdm (in sessions) | 07:57 |
| newusr | 8.4 hardy ! | 07:57 |
| newusr | Description:Ubuntu hardy (development branch) | 07:57 |

| newusr | i gotta quit the update manager though lots of updates | 08:05 |
| bazhang | newusr: dont do that | 08:05 |
| bazhang | newusr: just wait until it does its work | 08:05 |
| newusr | yeah i will | 08:05 |
| newusr | :) | 08:06 |
| newusr | bazhang, its installed when i checked the SYnaptic | 08:07 |
| bazhang | newusr: also on router try unhiding the essid if it is set to that (when the updates are finished, or course) | 08:07 |
| newusr | version 2.6.22 | 08:08 |
| newusr | its not hidden | 08:08 |
| newusr | shall i reinstall it ? | 08:08 |
| bazhang | newusr: those are not the correct modules for hardy; wait until the updates are finished then install new ones | 08:09 |
| newusr | what command shall i use or just the Synaptic | 08:09 |
| newusr | its ok i resumed the updates now | 08:10 |
| newusr | am supposed to use the wired connection here at the cafe and i stole the cable and got the ip config. hehhe i guess the cafe owner is gonna kick me | 08:13 |
| newusr | sorry the wirelesss connection :S | 08:13 |
| newusr | heh | 08:13 |
| bazhang | newusr: on further reflection it should be updated if you already have it --best bet is to finish updates then check to see that the modules match the kernel (which will be -16 by now) | 08:15 |
| Orbixx | Problem: Firestarter hangs on boot, causing it to hang. I have to intervene for it to continue boot. Also, due to it hanging, my network connection remains completely down until I stop it. Any ideas? | 08:16 |

| Rainarrow | Hello guys, what's the best way of sharing files between 2 Ubuntu machines in a LAN? | 08:19 |
| MEtaLpREs | just make the folders network shares | 08:19 |
| Rainarrow | Because I heard samba is best for sharing between Windows and Linux boxes | 08:19 |
| Rainarrow | so if I have two Ubuntu boxes do I have a better choice? | 08:19 |
| MEtaLpREs | then the folders will be visable to any other machine on the network | 08:20 |
| icesword | !share | 08:20 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about share - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:20 |

| scone | I need help editing my fstab | 08:21 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: SSH. | 08:21 |
| Rainarrow | MEtaLpREs, thanks, but what's the CLI equivalent of the operation? Since I may want to exchange some .conf files between two my two boxes, and sudo is more convenient than gksudo for me | 08:22 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: scp, sftp | 08:22 |
| AdrianStrays | Alright. I was trying to setup firestarter so it automatically began at boot. I followed the instructions on the FAQ page only to discover I couldn't save the sudoers file. So, I saved it elsewhere, then moved/overwrote the original with the edited one. It still doesn't work, and I can't edit it normally it says it should be "0440" when it is "0680" | 08:22 |
| MEtaLpREs | i dont do anything in command line unless i absolutely have to so i really dont know | 08:22 |
| AdrianStrays | eRRR | 08:22 |
| AdrianStrays | It should be "0440" when it is "0644" | 08:22 |

| Silicium | hi all | 08:23 |
| Silicium | does likewise support PAM? | 08:23 |
| Rainarrow | jburd, thanks, would you mind explain a little more? of course I could just google around if otherwise | 08:23 |
| Rainarrow | jburd, I've not heard anything about scp | 08:24 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: SSH is used for secure access to resources. scp is a tool to copy files over SSH. | 08:24 |
| Rainarrow | jburd, ok, so I need to setup a SSH server on one of my Linux boxes right | 08:24 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: You will need SSH server instances on both computers if you wish to access either of them from any one. | 08:24 |
| jburd | sudo aptitude install ssh | 08:24 |
| AdrianStrays | Can anyone help me? | 08:25 |
| Rainarrow | jburd, ok thanks, I'll google for a howto on SSH | 08:25 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: You can then access both computers using Nautilus or the command line. | 08:25 |
| ayah | Just one question right now. If I install the RC, will the update app let me upgrade to the final when it is released? Or will I have to reinstall to be completely up to date? | 08:25 |
| bazhang | AdrianStrays: you did all this to get firestarter to work at boot? | 08:25 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: Try this first: Places > Connect to Server... > Service Type: SSH | 08:26 |
| AdrianStrays | Yep | 08:26 |
| Silicium | ooh | 08:26 |
| AdrianStrays | Adding it to just the sessions doesn't work. | 08:26 |
| Silicium | pam will works | 08:26 |
| bouma | satelite uplink bling :P, cyaz | 08:26 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: It will create a network mount on your Desktop. Just click and you'll be able to copy files pretty easily. | 08:26 |
| bazhang | AdrianStrays: any reason to have the gui start on boot? | 08:26 |
| Tweaker | Ok, I got a quick question about Ultima. How would I get it to load on ubuntu? | 08:26 |
| newusr | ill cut the update and try to dial out using some kinda vpn | 08:27 |
| newusr | its damn filtered in the UAE | 08:27 |
| bazhang | Tweaker: ultima? is that a game or what | 08:27 |
| Rainarrow | jburd: I'm trying, waiting for apt-get to finish | 08:27 |
| bullgard4 | "~$ lsmod | grep 8139; 8139cp 24704 0; 8139too 27520 0."

(There is no modules.conf and no /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.) | 08:27 |
| Tweaker | Yea, a very old game. Made back in the 90's | 08:27 |
| Rainarrow | Tweaker, Ultima? the game? | 08:27 |
| Tweaker | Yes | 08:27 |
| ayah | If I install the RC, will the update app let me upgrade to the final when it is released? Or will I have to reinstall to be completely up to date? | 08:27 |
| AdrianStrays | bazhang, Because as near as I can tell it doesn't start unless I activate it manually? I like to out either way | 08:27 |
| ayah | thansk | 08:27 |
| ECKZ | woo | 08:28 |
| bazhang | Tweaker: via dosbox? check www.abandonia.com for abandonware | 08:28 |
| Tweaker | thanks, I didnt no I could run DosBox on Linux | 08:28 |

| Rainarrow | jburd, thanks, it works very well | 08:29 |
| bazhang | AdrianStrays: you know it is only the gui, right? that if the gui is running or not iptables will still start | 08:29 |
| Rainarrow | jburd, and it's just what I want | 08:29 |
| jburd | Rainarrow: np | 08:29 |
| AdrianStrays | bazhang, either way I'd like to fix the sudoers file, how do I do that? | 08:30 |

| bazhang | _2: how do you 'start' xorg | 08:35 |
| monkeybritches | How would you define 'properly'? | 08:35 |
| ng0n | bazhang - click down = minimize window. | 08:35 |
| _2 | any of several ways. startx X & startkde gdm pick your take. | 08:36 |
| jeffimperial | Hi.. how do you turn off the default "screen saver" for ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| ng0n | when i minimize i get no 'icon' in the panel. | 08:36 |
| ng0n | the program just vanishes. | 08:36 |

| _2 | @ bazhang ^ sorry i didn't prefix your nick. | 08:36 |
| monkeybritches | jeffimperial: Right click on desktop > Screensaver > Uncheck 'Start automatically' | 08:37 |
| jeffimperial | monkeybritches: hey man.. i don't have "Screensaver" when I right click the desktop.. just "Change Desktop Backgroun" | 08:38 |
| _2 | bazhang i can't drop back to a console from xorg without i first use the magic sysRQ to reset the keyboard the ctrl key doesn't work from within xorg otherwise | 08:38 |
| monkeybritches | Sorry, I'm using KDE, so I guess it's different | 08:39 |
| ng0n | bazhang: when i minimize a program it doesn't go down to the panel.. it just vanishes ? why ? | 08:39 |
| monkeybritches | Anyone with Gnome is welcome to answer that :) | 08:39 |
| jeffimperial | monkeybritches: Yeah.. I'm on Gnome.. | 08:39 |
| friedtofu | ng0n make sure you ahve a panel that lists your task programs | 08:39 |
| friedtofu | ng0n you might have accidently removed it | 08:39 |
| _2 | ng0n pager applet not running ? | 08:39 |
| jeffimperial | Anyone know how to turn off default screensaver in ubuntu-gnome? | 08:39 |
| friedtofu | ng0n try using alt + tab to see if it brings it up | 08:40 |
| ng0n | friedtofu: i got a panel on the bottom of the screen with trash can, 2 screens, showing the programs in the screens. | 08:40 |
| bazhang | _2: that sounds really awful; what kb is this? bluetooth or MS or somesuch? | 08:40 |
| _2 | bazhang nope. standard 104 key ps2 | 08:41 |
| bazhang | _2: ps2? same behaviour with a usb kb as well? | 08:41 |
| friedtofu | ng0n - so the one with the two screens is your pager/for your workstation ... try right clicking on the panel and add + and then try to find something that has something remotely with the task applications | 08:41 |
| * _2 doesn't have a usb keyboard to test that... | 08:42 | |

| _2 | bazhang idk ... | 08:42 |
| friedtofu | ng0n but does alt + tab bring up your windows you minimized? | 08:42 |
| ng0n | friedtofu: no. alt + doesn nothing. | 08:43 |
| jeffimperial | Rainarrow: Thanks.. Why does Ubuntu regard my computer idle when i'm into a full screen game after 10min? | 08:43 |
| bazhang | _2: that is really odd; got a ps2 here as well as usb and no worries either way--this is gutsy, hardy or what | 08:43 |
| Rainarrow | jeffimperial, .....maybe all the mouse/keybd events was captured by the game? | 08:43 |
| Rainarrow | jeffimperial, so GNOME received no events at all during your game | 08:43 |
| kevin__ | jeffimperial: that happened to me too, i don't know why so ijust disabled the screen saver | 08:43 |

| taricris | hi, everybody | 08:44 |
| ng0n | bummer. | 08:44 |

| ng0n | rebooted. still not working. | 08:45 |
| _2 | !info testdisk | Morph3us | 08:45 |
| bazhang | _2: ah dapper; seem to recall some ancient bug related to that, though it has been a while since using dapper--best bet is to check launchpad as that sounds like a really severe bug | 08:45 |

| jeffimperial | amaricasarmy, gl-117, battle for wesnoth | 08:45 |
| kevin__ | it happened to me while playing tremulous, would be a good idea to see if it happens with other games | 08:45 |
| Morph3us | _2 i just run testdisk, but says that my disk is OK.. how can i recover my data? | 08:45 |
| ng0n | freidtofu. thanks all the same :) | 08:45 |
| taricris | hi guys. I need help to install .bin file | 08:45 |
| friedtofu | ng0n maybe try killall rhythmbox | 08:45 |
| bazhang | ng0n: you deleted your pager? | 08:47 |
| Morph3us | ubotu exists another tool better? What about sysrescuecd? | 08:47 |
| _2 | Morph3us ? where did you get "testdisk" ? the testdisk app in the repos should by default give you the option to search for deleted partitions and restore them. | 08:47 |

| Ademan | has anyone setup zope 3 on ubuntu? i installed the zope3 package and assumed i'd be able to just navigate to localhost:8080 (the ubuntu docs suggested 9673 as well, but neither worked) if it helps i've got apache installed and running right now, as i understand it zope has it's own http server, maybe the two are conflicting? | 08:47 |
| Morph3us | _2 in fact, i format my disk | 08:47 |
| bazhang | the hardy channel is thataway-----------> #ubuntu+1 | 08:48 |

| _aeGIs | Does anyone know how to change the icon associated with mime/msword and mime/rtf ? Clicking on the icon in properties just changes it for that individual file. Please help. I changed the association to abiword, and it opens fine. The only thing is it used the OO icon still. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | Morph3us: if the data is really important you could pay the pros to rescue it for you--not cheap though | 08:50 |

| tarandus | I have Dapper in my Thinkpad T22 (256 RAM, 900MHz Pentium III M), would you recommend staying with it? Which one would work fastest and demand the least resources, Dapper, Edgy, Feisty or Gutsy? | 08:57 |
| bazhang | tarandus: any way to up the ram on that? | 08:57 |
| tarandus | bazhang: no cheap or fast ways that I know of | 08:57 |
| unimatrix9 | hi there | 08:58 |
| MagicDuck | tarandus: probably Dapper is fastest, if you want even lighter, install xfce | 08:58 |
| unimatrix9 | can i black list a driver from loading when running a livecd? | 08:58 |
| bazhang | tarandus: then dapper (gnome) is likely the best bet; you might want to try gutsy fluxbuntu or xubuntu livecd's just to see if they can run though | 08:58 |
| tarandus | bazhang: for 50 euros I might be able to have 256+128 instead of the current 128+128 | 08:58 |
| bazhang | tarandus: likely not worth it, just a bit more and you can get an eeepc ;] | 08:59 |
| tarandus | Dapper is nice now, but it would get slower if I upgraded? | 08:59 |
| bazhang | tarandus: for what you have dapper is likely ideal | 08:59 |
| bazhang | MagicDuck: could you pastebin your xorg.conf please? | 09:00 |

| _2 | howto set the keyboard to "x-late" from some xorg startup script, so i don't have to alt+sysRQ+r each time i want the ctrl key to work ??? | 09:05 |

| bazhang | MagicDuck: you did that before the upgrade to hardy? or since | 09:06 |
| _2 | what is a command to adjust the x keyboard map ? | 09:07 |
| MagicDuck | it's weird, I remember it working before - my real problem is not the system xorg.conf but the danged per-user "Screen Resolution" thingie. I wonder if there is a way to turn it off | 09:07 |
| bazhang | MagicDuck: there are some xorg wizards usually in the hardy channel a bit later who can figure that out--seems that xrandr or something else has taken the place of that and is much easier now | 09:07 |
| KOJV | tarandus: You should really consider that RAM upgrade... or why not a new machine? | 09:07 |

| albuntu | if you're smart enough to write programs (anywhere) you're smart enough to learn the ways of ubuntu | 09:30 |
| fluvvell | KOJV: probably - so why did you choose Xubuntu and not the standard ubuntu? For most, its because their system is somewhat limited in power. | 09:31 |

Games only use one monitor? Tried creating a metamode, but can't seem to get that work? Anyone have a 2 videocard/3 monitor setup working for fullscreen gaming across all 3 monitors? | 09:32 |
| KOJV | fluvvell: plus, the default theme of Xubuntu looks nicer. | 09:32 |
| lachlan | Well, xrandr -s 1280x1024, in any case. | 09:32 |
| JPSman | well I am not smart enough to write programs 'anywhere' but I would like to learn | 09:32 |

| matgate | i try to run live cd on ma desktop computer, however its working fine on my laptop, but on desktop, it take me to the command line, never go to the GUI so i can install a copy | 09:56 |
| DracoZA | olafski are you the one that posted on the forums ? | 09:56 |
| tinin | Hi, how do I know wich version of the tk library i'm using? | 09:57 |

| jeffimperial | ushimitsudoki you still in here? | 09:57 |
| ushimitsudoki | jeffimperial: yes (you can prob use TAB to autocomplete names to I can see it better ;) ) | 09:58 |
| DracoZA | olafski check out the forums, theres some useful info there, do a search for syncmaster. I have 2 931BW's running 1440x900 | 09:58 |
| matgate | @banditul can u figure out wots the problem? | 09:58 |
| jeffimperial | ushimitsudoki: thanks.love being a newbie.. hehe.. anyways, it still doesn't do it.. | 09:58 |
| jeffimperial | ushimitsudoki: updating i mean | 09:59 |
| olafski | I did, tried several things.. setting the horizsync/vertrefresh, disabling some edid option.. it won't show a higher resolution, even though I'm sure the card can handle it; ancient though it may be | 09:59 |
| DracoZA | olafski good way to try would be with another card then, if you can get one of course, I managed to get mine working on a GeForce 2 GTS which is 8 years old now :) | 10:00 |
| ushimitsudoki | jeffimperial: hmmm - I can only tell you that deluge works fine for me (and has for several versions), with the past exceptions of if it was not closed down properly, then that one file would need deletion and a reboot was required. | 10:00 |
| banditul | matgate, what's the error ? | 10:01 |
| olafski | dracoza: I'm at work, and only an intern here, I don't think they'll let me do things like that.. is there any real disadvantage to not using the proprietary drivers? | 10:01 |

| matgate | i did not get any error when ever i try to boot the live CD on desktop it takes me to the prompt "(initramfs)" | 10:02 |

| _MaxPower_ | so if you wanted to dial a mobile number in australia it would be 011614* | 10:45 |
| _MaxPower_ | the same would apply for Germany | 10:46 |
| iVal | as for any other country | 10:46 |
| _MaxPower_ | as iVal said | 10:46 |
| iVal | I've read somewhere that xChat is erased with every update of the system | 10:46 |
| iVal | how can I avoid this ? | 10:47 |
| iVal | I mean with every upgrade | 10:47 |
| Caf_Fiend | mobi numbers in australia are +61 for country code or 0 if you are inside the country | 10:47 |
| _MaxPower_ | Actually its +614 | 10:48 |
| Caf_Fiend | like if you replace a mobile number like 04xxxxxxxx with +614xxxxxxxx | 10:48 |
| Caf_Fiend | it will work | 10:48 |
| Caf_Fiend | sorry my bad | 10:48 |
| NateF | i have a question, if i was to call the Queen of England, what code would i use before i call the number from the US | 10:48 |
| Caf_Fiend | 666? | 10:48 |
| iVal | is there another IRC-client as xChat for Ubuntu ? | 10:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | What's the '+' supposed to mean in phone numbers? I see it all the time and it's not something you can easily enter on most phone keypads... | 10:49 |

| mrthraz | hi. i got a hp lappy, dv9000, i cant get wifi turned on, tried ndis but my led won't turn green just stays orange in the on position, anyone have similer problem | 10:49 |
| _MaxPower_ | 00144* | 10:49 |
| DistroJockey | iVal: Pidgin is installed by default | 10:49 |
| _MaxPower_ | the + basically means dial your international dial code | 10:49 |
| _MaxPower_ | in the US its 001 | 10:49 |
| iVal | the + means the international prefix or the national one$ | 10:49 |
| _MaxPower_ | in AUS its 0011 | 10:49 |
| === msy is now known as msy_ | ||
| zvacet | iVal : I don´t use it but does it have saved settings in home directory? | 10:49 |
| LSD|Ninja | Pidgin sucks for IRC though | 10:49 |
| Caf_Fiend | ival: LostIRC? KSirc? Konversation | 10:50 |
| iVal | Distrojockey: pidgin is also an IRC-client ? | 10:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | non-dedicated IRC apps universally suck | 10:50 |
| DistroJockey | LSD|Ninja: how so? | 10:50 |
| DistroJockey | iVal: yes | 10:50 |
| iVal | DistroJockey: I did'nt know | 10:50 |
| _MaxPower_ | good point zvacet .. you should have your settings for xchat under ~/.xchat | 10:50 |
| _MaxPower_ | at a guess | 10:51 |
| iVal | to get back to my question | 10:51 |
| iVal | is it true ? | 10:51 |
| NateF | what would i dial if i wanted the call someone in the UK from the US | 10:51 |
| === msy_ is now known as Scott_Ma | ||
| DistroJockey | NateF: the operator? | 10:52 |
| _MaxPower_ | iVal: I can't say that I use xchat, but having said that I would be surprised if an upgrade would remove it from you system | 10:52 |
| Hikejinx | They're phone number | 10:52 |
| NateF | no | 10:52 |
| NateF | a actuall number in the UK | 10:52 |
| _MaxPower_ | from the US it would be 01144* | 10:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | you need to dial the international calling code, the country code, the (UK) area code and then the UK number | 10:53 |
| NateF | what would it be for a UK number outside of the US, what would i dial before the UK number | 10:53 |
| LSD|Ninja | it would depend on just what country (and possibly carrier) you're calling from | 10:53 |
| _MaxPower_ | LOL .. NateF are you having us on? | 10:53 |
| NateF | lol, i want to see if you guys know, so i can call the Queen of England | 10:54 |
| caris_mere | my computer says "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0) | 10:54 |

| NateF | o, ok thanks iVal | 10:54 |

| DistroJockey | |ns|nR8: no problem, only thing I can think of | 11:51 |
| zvacet | ubuntuuuuuututuu : not bi ,but I think it will be less bugs and it will be fixes for something | 11:51 |

| DistroJockey | noob-africa: :) | 11:57 |
| yahooshua | I believe so | 11:58 |
| noob-africa | trouble is, hardy heron comes with firefox 3, which is still in beta looooooooool | 11:58 |
| yahooshua | let me check | 11:58 |
| ikonia | noob-africa: why is that funny ? | 11:58 |
| noob-africa | ikonia: well, not much support for firefox 3 beta... | 11:58 |
| noob-africa | i wonder why ubuntu chose it... | 11:58 |
| yahooshua | DistroJockey: 2.0.0.13 | 11:58 |
| ikonia | I wouldn't class that as funny | 11:58 |
| yahooshua | DistroJockey: to be exact | 11:58 |
| noob-africa | many of the plugins dont yet work at the moment | 11:58 |
| _MaxPower_ | nxusr: I have had a look at the wiki link and there is another link that takes you to http://mythtv.wbond.net/remote_wonder_plus_linux/ there is additional information there. | 11:58 |
| noob-africa | ikonia: well, i have a 'dark' sense of humour... loooooooooool | 11:59 |
| DistroJockey | yahooshua: and you restarted firefox totally? | 11:59 |
| bazhang | noob-africa: the important ones do, but that is offtopic here thanks | 11:59 |
| noob-africa | ikonia: after all, i AM in the dark continent, ainti? | 11:59 |
| noob-africa | bazhang: which ones? (even though this is off-topic) | 11:59 |
| bazhang | !ot | noob-africa | 11:59 |
| ubotu | noob-africa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 11:59 |
| yahooshua | DistroJockey: totally? quit and restart? yes. Quit restart the computer and then firefox? yes | 12:00 |
| yahooshua | says needs flash plugin | 12:00 |
| Toznoshio | Q: can I take the /etc/apt directory from an ubuntu installation, replace with it the existing /etc/apt directory of an installation of another Debian-based distibution, and have it work like that? | 12:00 |
| bazhang | Toznoshio: doubtful; which distro did you have in mind | 12:01 |
| KOJV | How to change the ugly small font of my Windows programs? | 12:01 |
| Lamego | Toznoshio, using repositories from other distros will most likely break your system | 12:01 |
| yahooshua | DistroJockey: well it use to. now it just slows everything down | 12:01 |
| Toznoshio | bazhang: Dreamlinux | 12:01 |
| DistroJockey | yahooshua: I guess it's a symlink issue (sorry, can't check atm) | 12:01 |
| |ns|nR8 | if its the same distro i believe you can | 12:01 |
| bazhang | Toznoshio: that is straight debian | 12:01 |
| KOJV | How to change the ugly small font of my Windows programs? In Wine. | 12:02 |
| yahooshua | DistroJockey: symlink? | 12:02 |
| |ns|nR8 | aptoncd basically does that Toznoshio | 12:02 |

| bazhang | Auctionedllama: go into grub and edit it | 12:13 |
| Lamego | you just need to update your menu.lst | 12:13 |
| Auctionedllama | uhm, what do I edit? | 12:14 |
| SmokeyD | Hey people. I am looking for a simple GUI backup tool (tar based or something) for one workstation machine. It should be able to do incremental backups and allow you to specify multiple dirs in the backup, but also inside those backups allow the exclusion of certain files or directories | 12:14 |
| SmokeyD | any ideas? | 12:14 |
| DistroJockey | Auctionedllama: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:14 |
| Auctionedllama | O yes, and on heron, the top and bottom GUI bars, no matter what theme I choose, stay the same | 12:14 |
| Auctionedllama | thanks distro | 12:14 |
| _MaxPower_ | yahooshua: rm <filename> | 12:14 |
| bazhang | SmokeyD: must be gui? | 12:14 |
| DistroJockey | np | 12:14 |
| SmokeyD | bazhang: yeah. Not for me but for someone I am helping out | 12:14 |
| SmokeyD | :)( | 12:14 |
| yahooshua | _maxpower_thank you | 12:14 |
| SmokeyD | I am using backup2l which is really nice | 12:14 |
| SmokeyD | but doesn't have a gui | 12:15 |
| foolano | should I open a bug in ubuntu and debian if the same bug exists in both distros or just in one of them? | 12:15 |
| SmokeyD | maybe I'll write one in python or something. | 12:15 |
| slowlearner | hi does anybody know of any good gantt chart builder (gnome)? | 12:15 |
| SmokeyD | but if a nice tool already exists it is not worth my time :) | 12:15 |
| Auctionedllama | Guys, can I just copy and paste the 8.04 stuff over the 7.10, or should I just erase the 7.10? | 12:16 |
| yahooshua | _maxpower_: oh shiz. is there a way to undo that command lol | 12:16 |
| DistroJockey | !backup | SmokeyD | 12:16 |
| _MaxPower_ | yahooshua: no | 12:16 |
| ubotu | SmokeyD: 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 | 12:16 |
| yahooshua | damn noobs lol | 12:16 |
| yahooshua | oh well | 12:16 |
| Lamego | Auctionedllama, you should format the root partition | 12:16 |
| yahooshua | _maxpower_: that file wasn't that near and dear to me anyway lol | 12:17 |
| Auctionedllama | lamego, is there a good formatting program for hardy? | 12:17 |
| yahooshua | _maxpower_: looks like we walk from here | 12:17 |
| Lamego | Auctionedllama, the installe takes care of that | 12:17 |
| _MaxPower_ | smokeyd: have a look here http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Backup/ | 12:17 |
| Lamego | installer | 12:17 |
| Auctionedllama | uhm, the hardy installer? | 12:17 |
| Lamego | just select the right partition to be formated, during the partition manager | 12:17 |
| Lamego | just backup your home dir data, if you have any | 12:18 |
| Auctionedllama | last time that screwed things up BAD | 12:18 |
| Auctionedllama | and, hardy, I used the desktop one.. so no formatting | 12:18 |
| Auctionedllama | OK, 2 other things | 12:18 |
| isleshocky78 | I have been trying to get a postfix setup working from this how-to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto . At first it seemed like everything setup correctly from the looks of postfixadmin. However, now I can't login. I get an invalid username and/or password through imap from an email client. I have the following error in my mail.err file "fatal: need service transport:endpoint instead of "inet"" | 12:18 |
| Dnumgis | Howdy. I tried to install the "gnome" package on a kubuntu install, but there seems to still be something missing for a functioning gnome environment. Is there another meta package to get the rest in? | 12:18 |
| Auctionedllama | For some reason, my mouse wheel, won't scroll up, and the GUI bars on the top and bottom of my hardy, are grey, and never change no matter what theme I choose | 12:19 |
| Auctionedllama | and both are really bothering me :P | 12:19 |

| laughzilla | hi :) i just added a 10 GB hdd to my new ubuntu box ... the 10 GB was an old ubuntu OS disk in another box, now i just have to grab some data off it and wipe it ... my BIOS sees the disk, but when i'm in my new ubuntu box, i don't see the old hard drive anywhere. anyone know how to "find" and mount a hdd that's in an ubuntu 7.10 box? | 12:20 |
| |ns|nR8 | took me 6 months to fully customise 7.10 | 12:20 |
| yahooshua | when I go to Youtube I get: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. | 12:20 |
| |ns|nR8 | now i gotta start again | 12:20 |
| |ns|nR8 | you need flash yahooshua | 12:20 |
| Lamego | laughzilla, does it show up on sudo fdisk -l ? | 12:20 |
| yahooshua | then when I try to intall it, it tells me flashplugin-nonfree already installed | 12:20 |
| |ns|nR8 | uninstall it | 12:21 |
| |ns|nR8 | and reinstall | 12:21 |
| |ns|nR8 | i manually download flash | 12:21 |
| |ns|nR8 | and manually select broswer directory | 12:21 |
| |ns|nR8 | works everytime | 12:21 |
| jaffarkelshac | is there a straight forward way to find out what command launches certain progams? so far i add it to panel and right click properties to find out, is there an easy and straight forward way? | 12:21 |
| Dnumgis | Lamego: thanks | 12:21 |
| laughzilla | Lamego thanks! i think i got it now :) i appreciate the clue :) | 12:22 |
| laughzilla | yahooshua - i solved the problem u have last week ... | 12:22 |
| yahooshua | laughzilla: how? | 12:22 |
| yahooshua | laughzilla: do tell | 12:22 |
| laughzilla | via Synaptic Package Manager you first UNINSTALL all of the flash players you have in there, and then you re-install just the flashplayer-nonfree (the one it grabs directly from the adobe site) | 12:22 |

| ikonia | ming: how do you know it's xorg ? | 13:22 |
| ming | well, i dont know for sure, but i just look at the system monitor and the process tap, and is fluxing from 20-%-60% of cpu | 13:23 |
| ikonia | ming: what sort of thing are you doing ? | 13:23 |
| ikonia | ming: and exaclty which process as xorg is modular now | 13:23 |
| ming | i am downloading torrents now, thats like the only thing, 2 days ago my system start lagging and i am still investigating | 13:24 |
| ming | and modular what is that? | 13:24 |
| DracoZA | ming ktorrent ? | 13:24 |
| ikonia | ming: many different processes ? | 13:25 |
| ming | no i just use the trasmission program it came with ubunutu | 13:25 |
| ming | and i think there are many process, but alot of them is said to be |sleeping | 13:26 |

| mattywarr | hello, anyone know much about gparted? | 13:27 |
| Lamego | mattywarr, just write your question | 13:27 |
| mattywarr | ok - At present I have a dual boot XP/Ubuntu 7.10 - At the moment, Ubuntu is running on a small 20gb ext3 partition | 13:28 |
| mattywarr | I have the System partition for windows at 30gb which I want to leave, but i also have a large partition I used in windows to store data | 13:28 |

| gromozekin | how to uninstall ndiswrapper | 13:29 |
| gromozekin | ? | 13:29 |
| willytell | hi | 13:29 |
| mattywarr | I want to ditch that partition, and extend the EXT3 linux partition | 13:29 |
| gromozekin | cause its might be ubuntupackage | 13:29 |
| mattywarr | I'm using gparted but I understand i'll need to unmount the partitions before I can do anything | 13:29 |
| Lamego | mattywarr, you can only resize an unmounted partition, meaning you will need to boot from the livd cd | 13:29 |
| gromozekin | noone can helpme?> | 13:29 |
| Lamego | gromozekin, have you tried sudo apt-get remove ? | 13:30 |
| jamsa | nevermind, fixed | 13:30 |
| mattywarr | thanks lamego - is gparted installed on the livecd? I had to install the package post install | 13:30 |
| gromozekin | i tried | 13:30 |
| gromozekin | dpkg -r ndiswrapper | 13:30 |
| willytell | is there a way to find out if a computer is little/big endian using command line? | 13:30 |
| gromozekin | /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 13:31 |
| gromozekin | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 13:31 |

| Lamego | willytell, what are you trying to achieve ? | 13:32 |
| Waysted | Trying to install Ubuntu Srv7.10 on older laptop, it has 32mb internal ram, I added 128. Anyway, during setup Ubuntu only recognizes the 32megs and fails. Any way I can get by this? | 13:32 |
| arvind_k | willytell, you should search them in wikipedia | 13:33 |
| DracoZA | 32mb ? *giggle* | 13:33 |
| Waysted | :) its old | 13:33 |
| Lamego | Waysted, I don't believe the ubuntu installer will run on a 32mb system | 13:33 |
| DracoZA | It has little 2 by 2 footprints on it I bet | 13:34 |
| Waysted | it has 160mb total | 13:34 |
| DracoZA | Waysted, does the bios see the 128 ? | 13:34 |
| gromozekin | 1) rmmod ndiswrapper 2)apt-get remove ndiswrapper 3) unable to found this package | 13:34 |
| Waysted | yes | 13:34 |
| Waysted | Ive had windows 95,98 on it | 13:34 |
| DracoZA | theres the problem, windows probably stole it! | 13:35 |
| willytell | it is a simple question... | 13:35 |
| Waysted | DracoZA: you are full of good advice | 13:35 |
| arvind_k | willytell, you mean about little-endian | 13:35 |
| willytell | I know what is big and little endian. | 13:35 |
| arvind_k | willytell, so what do you want?? | 13:36 |
| Lamego | willytell, what is your purpose ? | 13:36 |
| === co_fs_ffx is now known as Jabrik | ||
| slowlearner | DracoZA: lol | 13:36 |
| willytell | arvind_k, just to know if there is a command line on Linux to find out what endian is used by the PC (RAM or Processor, or whatever) | 13:37 |
| Jabrik | ? | 13:37 |
| Lamego | willytell, no, there isn't, since that is something you can figure by the processor type itself | 13:38 |

| Waysted | Good luck with this | 13:39 |

| jeffimperial | jrib: yep.. was working on my Windblows XP machine | 13:41 |

| jeffimperial | Lamego: Slowlearner: I get a /dev/sda.... some sort of list. What do I make of this? | 13:43 |
| Lamego | jeffimperial, you need to understand how the partitions are named, if you added a new disk, you will need to add it to /etc/fstab | 13:43 |

| prodigel | Hi all. I'm trying to format a memory stick without success. I've tried parted/gparted/fidsk. parted/gparted sees it but cannot even created disk label(mbr I presume), fdisk doesn't see it at all. In windows I see a 512 mb partition and the rest free space. Can I forcely format it? | 13:44 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: if it isn' | 13:44 |
| jeffimperial | slowlearnear: as far as i could tell, there's only one.. but the disk IS there (plugged in and should be ready to go i mean) | 13:44 |
| bazhang | prodigel: what about cfdisk | 13:45 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: sudo fdisk -l | 13:45 |
| prodigel | bazhang: will try | 13:45 |
| bazhang | prodigel: you doing this to create a bootable pendrive? www.pendrivelinux.com has the details | 13:46 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, he wants to format so why not sudo mkfs.vfat | 13:46 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: you've plugged it via ata, so it's isn't plug in play, you have to mount it | 13:46 |
| jeffimperial | slowlearner: yeah, i executed sudo fdisk -l and it gave me a list that contains only ONE HD.. got any more ideas? | 13:46 |
| bazhang | arvind_khadri: not sure what his final goal was | 13:46 |
| jeffimperial | slowlearner: hate to be a newbie, but how to mount? | 13:46 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, do you just want to format??? | 13:46 |
| prodigel | bazhang: first things first, I want it woking | 13:47 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: yes | 13:47 |
| _MaxPower_ | dmesg | grep sd and see if the drive has been detected | 13:47 |
| laughzilla | Lamego ... i ran various commands to mount /dev/sda ... none of them work. the disk is a Linux fs disk (it has ubuntu 7.10 on it, with a broken GRUB loader). i tried, for instance: mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt and it just gives me the "bad fs type, bad option, bad superblock" message. | 13:47 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: if it's not there you probably wont be able to mount it | 13:47 |
| Lamego | or just dmesg, to check for some error | 13:47 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, does it get recognized in ubuntu?? | 13:47 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: pastebin /var/log/messages | 13:47 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: gparted sees it | 13:47 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: nautilus has nothing to mount from it | 13:47 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, fdisk?? | 13:47 |
| Lamego | laughzilla, /dev/sda is a disk, not a partition, was the disk formmateD ? | 13:47 |
| Lamego | you can't mount disks, only partitions | 13:47 |

| arvind_khadri | prodigel, ok issue sudo cfdisk | 13:49 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: can you pastebin the output of /var/log/messages | 13:49 |

| prodigel | arvind_khadri: and I worked so hard at those asterixes... still you can see the password | 13:59 |
| PodMan99a | Lamego, STAR... fixed | 13:59 |
| laughzilla | Lamego i tried sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt and it still gives me the same error (and sda1 is the partition i want to mount) | 14:00 |
| Lamego | laughzilla, is /dev/sda1 listed on sudo fdisk -l ? | 14:00 |
| laughzilla | lamego yes it is | 14:01 |

| arvind_khadri | prodigel, cant see your pass anyway ;) | 14:01 |
| koma_ | anybody see me | 14:01 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: if you look closer you can see it | 14:02 |
| Lamego | laughzilla, do not set the partion type on mount, remove the "-t ext2" | 14:02 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, i didnt want to but you made me | 14:02 |
| slowlearner | jeffimperial: weird, i don't see any attempt to recognize another drive, it's as if the drive isn't connected | 14:02 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, paste mtab | 14:02 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: never mind ... any conclusions? | 14:02 |
| laughzilla | lamego ... i tried that, it says i have to specify an FS type.... and yes, it is a Linux partition (says that in fdisk as well) | 14:03 |
| KOJV | Okay, so... back to my original problem. How to make Winapps use a larger font?? | 14:03 |
| Lamego | that is very odd, it should recognized the partion type automatically | 14:03 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, mtab i wanted...sorry told you to paste fstab extremely sorry | 14:03 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63916/ | 14:03 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: no problem | 14:04 |

| jeffimperial | slow: a'right.. thanks a bunch man.. laters.. | 14:05 |
| laughzilla | lamego yes esp. since it's a disk with ubuntu 7.10 on it, same as the new box i'm trying to mount it into. | 14:05 |

| longtimeuser | bye | 14:07 |
| mattywarr | I've just installed phpmyadmin using apt-get and it all installed OK - but when I go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin it tells me there is no documents there - any ideas why? | 14:07 |
| DracoZA | laughzilla, SATA or IDE drive ? | 14:08 |
| laughzilla | jack_sparrow it's an IDE device, the old drive. | 14:08 |
| _MaxPower__ | ? | 14:08 |
| laughzilla | and it's listed as such in the new box's bios as well. | 14:08 |
| DracoZA | laughzilla, are you using the old IDE cable as well ? | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laughzilla, jumpers are correct as well? single drive dual drive any other device on the same cable.. | 14:09 |
| slowlearner | mattywarr: what's the error? | 14:09 |
| laughzilla | dracoza actually i'm using the new ide cable that came with the new computer. | 14:09 |
| mattywarr | its just the standard 404 page | 14:09 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: so? | 14:09 |
| slowlearner | mattywarr: you have, apache and php installed? | 14:09 |
| DracoZA | laughzilla, k then it's not a 40wire vs 80wire cable issue | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laughzilla, look close to make sure it isnt a cable select cable and not std ide | 14:09 |
| laughzilla | jack_sparrow yes the jumper's on CS and it's listed as the primary master in the bios and the new computer loads fine (its the same box i'm on in this irc) | 14:09 |
| mattywarr | yeah, I installed LAMP first | 14:09 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, jus a min | 14:10 |
| mattywarr | apache seems to be OK | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laughzilla, very few new cables arew cable select | 14:10 |
| sinbox | When I launch some programs in a terminal via a script some of my panels tend to disappear. apps involved: qjackctl + oddacst-jack + xmms. any idea as to why this could be? | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brb | 14:10 |
| slowlearner | mattywarr: i don't know how phpmyadmin is installed using the repos, i suggest you just download phpmyadmin and extract it to your webroot | 14:11 |
| willytell | it is what i talked http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/ and http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/arm/ch02s01.html.en . | 14:12 |
| _MaxPower_ | since when is IDE "old" ??? LOL | 14:12 |
| === bandit is now known as banditul | ||
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, what does mount show you | 14:12 |
| hema | fdfd | 14:12 |
| _MaxPower_ | seems like yesterday that IDE was new .. LOL | 14:12 |
| laughzilla | hm ... so i should specify the jumpers differently than CS ? ok well there's 1 SATA drive (that's the new one) and there is 1 IDE (the old drive). what should i set the jumper to on the IDE drive? Master? Slave? i would guess Master since that's what it did by itself ? | 14:12 |
| willytell | sorry if I didn't explain it well. | 14:13 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, i cant see your usb mounted anywhere | 14:13 |
| willytell | Most ARM CPUs may be run in either endian mode (big or little). However, the majority of current system implementation uses little-endian mode. Debian currently only supports little-endian ARM systems. | 14:13 |
| Swish | on newer motherboards/drives, you should just jumper CS. | 14:13 |
| slowlearner | laughzilla: the disks have labels on them on how to set the jumpersa | 14:13 |
| Swish | put your master on the end of the cable | 14:13 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: dude, if you know how to low level format it tell me. If not it's not worthy to 'debug' it. | 14:13 |
| Swish | and your slave drive in the middle of the cable | 14:13 |
| laughzilla | slowlerner yes i just meant if there is one that's best to choose in this situation. | 14:14 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, if windows can find it just format it there | 14:14 |
| icesword | nite，all | 14:14 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, when the disk itself isnt mounted here how can we format it | 14:14 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: hm, I would have, but windows doesn't give me delete/resize also :) | 14:15 |
| _Net | Hi | 14:15 |
| slowlearner | laughzilla: should prolly set the jumpers and use the right cable ends | 14:15 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, try a different port that helps a lot of times | 14:15 |
| _Net | When I plug my ipod in Music Player there are all my playlist and stuff, but when I eject my ipod all my songs are gone from my ipod | 14:15 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: format is wrongly used, I want partitions erased | 14:15 |
| _Net | but when I plug the ipod back, i can see the playlists and songs | 14:15 |
| _Net | Does anyone know how to fix this | 14:15 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, thats a USB drive right ... | 14:15 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: yes | 14:16 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, define the usb drive a pen drive or something | 14:16 |
| hema | plz | 14:16 |
| hema | i neeeeeeeed | 14:16 |
| hema | how i can instal | 14:16 |
| arvind_khadri | !ask | hema | 14:16 |
| ubotu | hema: 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. :-) | 14:16 |
| hema | in ubuntu | 14:16 |
| slowlearner | _Net: lol, of course the songs are in your ipod so when you plug it you see them , when you unplug it then you won't | 14:16 |
| laughzilla | slowlearner - the cable IS set, to CS. and the cable ends are in properly. if it weren't, fdisk wouldn't see the disk, would it? and fdisk does see the disk. | 14:17 |
| slowlearner | _Net: if you want them to stay then transfer the songs to your drive | 14:17 |
| laughzilla | and slowlearner the jumper is set to CS as well. | 14:17 |
| arvind_khadri | hema, what do you want to install | 14:17 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: it's small | 14:17 |
| prodigel | arvind_khadri: it's kingmax | 14:17 |

| ubotu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 14:17 |
| slowlearner | laughzilla: lol, and what's the problem? | 14:17 |
| hema | ? | 14:18 |
| _Net | No i dont mean them on my computer | 14:18 |
| Pici | hm | 14:18 |
| _Net | Like when i unplug my Ipod, I should see my songs IN my ipod but they are not there | 14:18 |
| _Net | it says No Music in my ipod eventhough there are so many | 14:18 |
| _Net | and when I plug it back the music plapyer shows my songs | 14:18 |
| laughzilla | slowlearner the problem is that the mount command is not recognizing the partition i want to mount. | 14:18 |
| arvind_khadri | prodigel, thats a pen drive ....try it in a different port...kingmax ones give trouble | 14:18 |
| pir | HZ : sudo passwd | 14:18 |
| arvind_khadri | hema | 14:18 |

| laughzilla | slowlearner yes | 14:19 |
| hema | ? | 14:19 |
| slowlearner | laughzilla: whats the error? | 14:19 |

| yurenju | question, Can synaptic ignore packages for unauthenticated repository and execute install? | 14:19 |
| hema | i don t under stand u | 14:19 |
| arvind_khadri | hema whats the progrms name | 14:19 |
| bazhang | _Net: you need the latest libgpod or just wait for next release in three days | 14:19 |
| slowlearner | _Net: you should probably use an itunes counterpart in ubuntu | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pir, As the factoid says please dont suggest that.. | 14:19 |
| laughzilla | slowlearner it is this errror: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so | 14:19 |
| arvind_khadri | !tab |hema | 14:19 |
| ubotu | hema: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 14:20 |
| Lamego | laughzilla, have yu checked the dmesg output ? | 14:20 |
| HZ | do anyone have tamagochi on ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| laughzilla | lamego yes | 14:20 |
| yurenju | if use apt-get i can ignore authenticated problem: apt-get --allow-unauthenticated --force-yes --y install <something>, but synaptic NOT | 14:20 |

| slowlearner | laughzilla: what's fs type? | 14:20 |
| _Net | Itunes counterpart? I'll try and check | 14:20 |
| laughzilla | slowlearner it's Linux | 14:20 |

| slowlearner | laughzilla: wow weird.. | 14:21 |
| laughzilla | slowlearner yes | 14:21 |

| binarical-ap1 | hey people, how can i change the default text size on my server | 14:21 |
| _Net | bazhang: Oh okay, I'll check it out. But I dont have much time right now, if I plugged my ipod to a win32 machine and ejected it after you think it'll show my songs again? | 14:22 |
| slowlearner | laughzilla: now thats a problem, | 14:23 |
| arvind_khadri | hema, whats the prob | 14:23 |
| whatspy | heh, it's not exactly ubuntu-related, but dunno where to go... #web2.0 is empty... I wonder if someone the open source community already thought of some kind of tagging utility for stuff people like, for instance, yesterday my friend told me about "A Beautiful Mind"... given such a tool, I'd input the title, tagged "movie", "psychology", "russel", and so... | 14:23 |
| laughzilla | slowlearner - gee thanks, you get two points for being master of the obvious :D if it wasn't a problem, i wouldn't be trying to solve it. | 14:23 |
| bazhang | _Net: currently in gutsy no; as I indicated you need to get the latest libgpod deb for gutsy or wait for inclusion in hardy (april 24) | 14:23 |

| Jack_Sparrow | spanther, I doubt you will get the special drivers to work. I have an oc nvidia here.. | 14:42 |
| slowlearner | dassouki: i don't really know what backend the remote desktop is using :( | 14:43 |
| spanther | Jack_Sparrow ah okay | 14:43 |
| slowlearner | although you can install svncserver or something | 14:43 |
| slowlearner | dassouki: vncserver i mean :D | 14:43 |
| dassouki | slowlearner, it's installed | 14:44 |
| DanQnA | so...how would I initialize a connection on my wireless modem? | 14:45 |
| DanQnA | pppd or something :( | 14:45 |
| spanther | Jack_Sparrow you know i just didnt know how they made this i read OC and thought it would be inside the driver maybe this higher stepping or so but i didnt know for sure :) | 14:45 |
| slowlearner | dassouki: then you can probably run vncserver | 14:46 |
| dassouki | slowlearner, i can run it, but i can't access it from my pc at work | 14:46 |
| DanQnA | :( ... | 14:47 |
| buckie | Hi can anyone tell me how to ssh connect to a server thats behind a router(with firewall) ? | 14:47 |
| dassouki | slowlearner, when i'm logged in through ssh, i can run vncserver. However, I can't connect from my computer at hte office | 14:47 |
| robertw | dassouki, then that means they probably have vnc access blocked at work | 14:47 |
| bezibaerchen | buckie: forward port 22 from the router to the server | 14:48 |
| dassouki | robertw, evenhtrough ubuntu ? | 14:48 |
| zionpsyfer | dassouki: Ask the admin for vpn access? | 14:48 |
| robertw | dassouki, yes | 14:48 |
| robertw | dassouki, it doesnt matter what os you run, if they block access to a port, it wont work on any OS | 14:48 |
| dassouki | robertw, but ican do vnc from my windows to my windows | 14:49 |
| buckie | bezibaerchen, I cant acces the software from here :( atleast i think not ? | 14:49 |
| buckie | bezibaerchen, On the router that is...I have the ip of the router ? | 14:49 |
| robertw | dassouki, then i would check to see what ports vncserver is using on the ubuntu box | 14:49 |
| robertw | dassouki, and be DOUBLY SURE that vncserver is actually running. | 14:49 |
| dassouki | robertw, how would i do that (check ports) and i ran vncserver , by simply typing vncserver into ssh | 14:50 |
| slowlearner | robertw: i think it's 5900 or 5901 hmmm lemme check | 14:50 |
| brunodbo | does anyone know a good howto concerning burning an (ubuntu) iso image to a cd (using windows)? | 14:50 |
| robertw | brunodbo, use something like nero to burn it | 14:50 |
| Scrounch | robertw: iftop -i eth0 , you can view realtime connection | 14:51 |
| robertw | brunodbo, any windoze cd burning app will work | 14:51 |
| prashant___ | hi how can i back up whole ubuntu install :) | 14:51 |
| bezibaerchen | buckie: well in the firewall of the router. u need port 22 forwarded to the server | 14:51 |

| XB23 | guys when i try to bind to network alias eth0 i get the error "No such process" and failed to bring up eth0 | 15:00 |
| hwilde | XB23, what command are you running | 15:01 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 use ghst: is on UBCD4WIN (google): or any of the other image-makers on that cd | 15:02 |
| XB23 | /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:02 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 ghost I mean | 15:02 |
| DracoZA | prashant__1, if you know your drive names then: sudo dd /if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc | 15:02 |
| hwilde | XB23, run ifconfig. does eth0 appear | 15:02 |
| XB23 | yeh it does | 15:02 |
| ajitam | anyone ? | 15:02 |
| DracoZA | prashant__1, destination drives can be larger but bot smaller than source drive | 15:03 |
| bazhang | ajitam: what is your question please | 15:03 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 or use ultimate boot cd (is linux, better, UBCD4win is a hassle, you need windoze), I believe it has an image program on it; ie make an image of yer hd, and put it back on the hd you want it on | 15:03 |
| ajitam | how can I check computer temperature via terminal ? | 15:03 |
| XB23 | hwilde: it does | 15:03 |
| Pici | ajitam: you need to have the lm-sensors package installed then you can use the sensors command | 15:04 |
| bazhang | ajitam: is this on a laptop? or a desktop | 15:04 |

| Scrounch | sensors | 15:04 |
| bazhang | ajitam: I have used superkaramba; there may be a gnome equivalent as well | 15:05 |
| hwilde | XB23, sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up; then sudo /etc/networking/restart | 15:05 |
| Pici | bazhang: he said from the terminal ;) | 15:05 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 or use ultimate boot cd (is linux, better, UBCD4win is a hassle, you need windoze), I believe it has an image program on it; ie make an image of yer hd, and put it back on the hd you want it on | 15:05 |
| ajitam | bazhang: great I'll check | 15:05 |
| prashant__1 | Leeuw : ok but is it possible to backup the image to a DVD and then restore the image on HDD | 15:05 |
| hwilde | !dd | prashant__1 | 15:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:06 |
| hwilde | prashant__1, look up the program "dd" | 15:06 |
| XB23 | same error hwilde | 15:06 |
| Scrounch | ajitam: sensors-applet -> Display readings from hardware sensors in your Gnome panel | 15:06 |
| bazhang | Pici: sorry did not read carefully enough | 15:06 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 if itś smaller than 4 gig it is, yeah; the image is as large as the data, it can go on a larger drive | 15:06 |
| prashant__1 | hwilde: what is dd ??? i cant understand :( | 15:06 |
| hwilde | XB23, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file, and ifconfig | 15:06 |
| hwilde | prashant__1, it is a program. go look it up | 15:06 |

| Leeuw | prashant__1 google UBCD, wich is Ultimate Boot CD | 15:07 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 check if there's an image prog on it (prob yes), otherwise look for other image prog | 15:08 |
| prashant__1 | leeuw: i will look it now can u stay please :) | 15:08 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 like norton Ghost (bittorrent plenty around), need dos thoug for that | 15:08 |
| hwilde | prashant__1, you could get "ghost for unix" that would work fine | 15:08 |
| mattywarr | hi - is there any way to set ubuntu to always open .exe files with WINE? At present I need to right click and "Open With"? | 15:08 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 sure, ain goin nowhere | 15:08 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 I'll look too | 15:09 |
| DracoZA | prashant__1, dd = duplicate disk | 15:09 |
| hwilde | mattywarr, right click on one, properties, "Open With" tab | 15:09 |
| Pici | !piracy > Leeuw (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 15:09 |
| Leeuw | Pici: yer soooo right; I'lll better my wayz.... Can you suggest an open source alternative ? | 15:10 |
| Pici | Leeuw: There were many backup suggestions made in ubotu's message above. | 15:10 |
| Leeuw | Pici: I don't see the alternative for an image program there... any ideas ? | 15:11 |
| arvind_khadri | mattywarr, if you double click wine automatically opens ;) | 15:11 |
| hwilde | Pici, his system doesn't boot so it's going to be tough for him to apt-get install duplicity or any of those suggestions... he needs a ghost4unix cd or equivalent | 15:11 |
| prashant__1 | Leeuw: there is Hard disk cloning toll on UBCD | 15:11 |
| mattywarr | Thats what i thought but it keeps telling me that it doesn;t know how to open them | 15:11 |
| banditul | how can i search for packages using apt-get ? | 15:11 |
| Pici | hwilde: I was only saying not to suggest finding a bittorent for ghost. | 15:11 |
| Leeuw | prashant__1 ok stick with that; | 15:11 |
| bazhang | banditul: apt-cache search | 15:12 |
| Scrounch | apt-get search | 15:12 |
| Scrounch | oups :( | 15:12 |
| mattywarr | but it seems it was because I had 2 versions of wine installed (Upgrade problem) | 15:12 |
| prashant__1 | Leeuw: any idea how is that going to work :s | 15:12 |
| Leeuw | Pici: ubcd doesn't contain illegal stuff, right ? | 15:12 |
| mattywarr | removed one from the lsit in Properties and now its working perfectly :) | 15:12 |
| Pici | Leeuw: correct. | 15:12 |
| Leeuw | Pici: good. | 15:12 |
| arvind_khadri | mattywarr, :) happy linuxing | 15:12 |
| Leeuw | Pici: thanx for setting me straight, I agree totally, just thought it was an easy way to go, but it ś not, that's the whole point of open source, right ? | 15:13 |

| napsy__ | Hello. Where are the *.mo translation files located in Ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| Pici | gaara: If you are looking for something Ubuntu specific, check in #ubuntu-server, otherwise check out ##security | 15:32 |
| gaara | thank you | 15:32 |
| dav7 | ir2: you can't. | 15:32 |
| arvind_khadri | Exteris, thats ok | 15:32 |
| dav7 | ir2: you will need to install a new copy of windows in vmware. | 15:32 |
| ir2 | there is no solution | 15:32 |
| remote | Good morning. | 15:32 |
| arvind_khadri | napsy__, locate *.mo | 15:33 |
| ir2 | ? | 15:33 |
| dav7 | ir2: or use qemu or virtualbox (you'll need to reinstall but those programs are better) | 15:33 |
| Exteris | dav7, he can create an image from the disk | 15:33 |
| napsy__ | arvind_khadri: tnx | 15:33 |
| ir2 | what is virtualbox? | 15:33 |
| dav7 | a free alternative to vmware | 15:33 |
| ir2 | and i can boot to physical drive ? | 15:33 |
| biagidp | is vmware not free? | 15:33 |
| Exteris | and one without processor virtualization, so much faster | 15:33 |
| dav7 | bazhang: it's not open source. | 15:33 |
| arvind_khadri | biagidp, its not open source | 15:34 |
| ir2 | dav can i boot to physical drive with it ? | 15:34 |

| remote | I am in the process of installing Ubuntu on a workstation that has Debian stable on it, only the filesystem is crypto_LUKS and unrecognized by the base default ubuntu installer, would anyone have a recommendation as to prevent me from having to delete data needed on the old system through the new system's installation? | 15:34 |
| shingouz | if someone happens to have a thinkpad with an ltmodem running there, could you do a quick grep on the dmesg for the device the thing shows up as? | 15:34 |
| dav7 | ir2: you'll need to reinstall because windows does a thorough investigation of your hardware then stores codes about the kind of hardware you have. Then, if you change hardware (ie change from your real PC's hardware to the "virtual" hardware in the VM), windows realizes this and goes BANG | 15:34 |
| m3ltd0wn123 | I just reinstalled ubuntu and now my network isn't working, even though it worked fine last time i installed it from the same cd.. any ideas? | 15:34 |
| biagidp | arvind_khadri, I misunderstood the use of free | 15:34 |
| dav7 | ir2: and asks for your key | 15:34 |
| alexandre_ | il i a des francais | 15:34 |
| arvind_khadri | biagidp, everyone does :) | 15:35 |
| dav7 | ir2: so, yes, you can boot an OS that is on your hard disk, but no, you cannot boot a copy of windows that is on one PC from another "PC", be it virtual or real. | 15:35 |
| MikeCulver | shingouz: I have such a laptop. What command must I run? | 15:35 |
| Sefram | unop: neither `whoami` nor `echo $USER` seems to be working. Is ther any other option? | 15:35 |

| ir2 | i want to boto to a fat partition with it | 15:35 |
| ir2 | boot* | 15:35 |
| dav7 | ir2: vmware, virtualbox, qemu etc are all emulators. They're computers, just virtual. | 15:35 |

| shingouz | MikeCulver: umh. not really sure because the laptop i am working on right now is without a network access and about 5000 miles away from me. try 'dmesg | grep tty' | 15:35 |
| dassouki | dav7 i'm having troubles copying to my /var/www on my remote | 15:36 |
| dav7 | ir2: when you run windows in vmware, it thinks it's running on a real computer. | 15:36 |
| User1 | please help http://s4.bitefight.sk/c.php?uid=26294 | 15:36 |
| arvind_khadri | {g}, FF isnt IE | 15:36 |
| shingouz | ..if i had the laptop here i would check it personally but... <shrugs> | 15:36 |
| dav7 | dassouki: what command are you using? | 15:36 |

| ubotu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 15:36 |
| ir2 | so each time i will switch from windows to linux i will need to activate again and again no matter what program i will use ? | 15:37 |
| MikeCulver | shingouz: I'm not sure this is the same modem, but it is using a restricted module to support it. I'll PM the output | 15:37 |
| shingouz | MikeCulver: k | 15:37 |
| dav7 | ir2: basically, yes. | 15:37 |

| dassouki | dav7 sudo scp -r /var/www/featureserver-1.11/ user@host:/var/www/fs/ | 15:37 |
| dav7 | ir2: unless you install a NEW copy of windows for the VM. | 15:37 |
| ir2 | and there is no fix for that ? | 15:37 |
| arvind_khadri | {g}, FireFox doesnt work like Internet Explorer does | 15:37 |
| dav7 | ir2: blame windows. Really do. | 15:37 |
| dav7 | ir2: do you want me to PM you to explain why in detail? | 15:37 |
| dav7 | dassouki: er... | 15:37 |
| shingouz | MikeCulver: grep tty /var/log/dmesg might also help | 15:37 |

| dassouki | slowleaner well the sudo only works on the local, how can i also make it work on the host | 15:40 |
| slowlearner | dassouki: you should use a user on the remote system with priv on that dir | 15:41 |
| dassouki | slowlearner, i created a second admin, and that's the one i'm using | 15:41 |

| Exteris | name10135, have you already installed ubuntu? | 16:33 |
| name10135 | skarface: Unsure of how to setup partition settings in the installer without destroying windows partition (I already have 20GB set aside ext3 for linux) | 16:33 |

| Exteris | msx, upgrade the ram, then it will | 16:33 |
| subopt | I can't remember which version of Ubuntu i installed. Is there a file in /etc that tells me? | 16:34 |
| Exteris | name10135, 20gb ext3 and 1gb swap, and ubuntu will fix it | 16:34 |

| dav7 | [A[A | 16:34 |
| subopt | Pici: thanks | 16:34 |
| dav7 | msx: Ubuntu requires a minimum of 512MB RAM. | 16:34 |
| dav7 | msx: Arch Linux however will run on a minimum of 32MB RAM. | 16:34 |
| tevleV | i run it on 256 ok | 16:34 |
| msx | what about older versions? | 16:34 |
| Snurre86 | Is it posible by a newbee to install ubuntu on fakeraid (Radi0) ? | 16:34 |
| jamie | for 128 ram use xubuntu | 16:35 |
| Chousuke | dav7: Ubuntu will run just fine on a low-memory machine. | 16:35 |
| dav7 | Chousuke: oh ok | 16:35 |
| dav7 | Chousuke: will X work on 32MB? :P | 16:35 |
| Chousuke | dav7: You'll find that you *want* more RAM when you add features though :P | 16:35 |

| dav7 | msx: of course | 16:36 |
| Chousuke | dav7: Probably. | 16:36 |

| dav7 | nice | 16:36 |
| msx | and if I use text installer? | 16:36 |
| Exteris | name10135, manual | 16:37 |
| Chousuke | msx: it's always possible. Though it requires using the command line if you do it after installation | 16:37 |
| Chousuke | but you can always create a swap file and use that :) | 16:37 |
| Exteris | name10135, how much ram do you have in that pc? | 16:37 |
| name10135 | Exteris: Done, #2 is the target partition, what settings? | 16:37 |
| Exteris | name10135, you also need to make swap | 16:37 |
| Exteris | mount point / | 16:38 |
| === jomino_ is now known as jomino | ||
| name10135 | Exteris: 2GB DD2 | 16:38 |
| Exteris | name10135, make a partition of 1gb, and type 'swap' | 16:38 |
| Exteris | name10135, and the root partition will be the rest, type 'ext3' mount point '/' | 16:38 |
| Chousuke | something like sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/myswapfile bs=1M count=512; sudo mkswap /var/myswapfile; sudo swapon /var/myswapfile | 16:38 |
| Chousuke | creates a 0.5GB swap file and enables it | 16:39 |
| Exteris | name10135, and you can give the other partition a mount point too, ubuntu will mount it there automatically then | 16:39 |
| jamie | when is ubuntu gonna do an Enlightenment windowing system | 16:39 |

| Chousuke | msx: it's an LTS | 16:39 |
| hwilde | jamie, I use enlightenment | 16:39 |
| Chousuke | msx: those are "special" releases made every two years that get longer support. | 16:40 |

| Chousuke | msx: 8.10 comes first, don't be so hasty ;) | 16:40 |
| Pici | msx: The versions are like this: 2008 April (4th month) = 8.04 | 16:40 |
| hscade | 3 days to go ! :/ | 16:41 |
| Pici | msx: And we do releases every six months. | 16:41 |
| LSG | www.ubuntu.com is normal again! | 16:41 |

| Pici | LSG: gah, I was just typing that. | 16:42 |

| peter___ | how come bash can't find it? | 17:10 |

| trento | nlbs: more info .. i added "search <mydomain>.local" to my network ... now i can resolve servername but not servername.<mydomain>.local | 17:11 |

| prashant____ | unop : thanks a lot unop.. BTW how much time do u expect it to take and how much the situation will improve :p | 18:01 |
| sipior | hjml: boot into windows, select "unmount device safely" and that should sort it out | 18:02 |
| prawcess | Sid: Just to ask, are the ports forwarded? | 18:02 |
| hjml | zvacet, nope...i install Ubuntu on a clean HDD | 18:02 |
| Sid | I have port 22 open | 18:02 |
| unop | Sid, can you connect to the ssh server from the machine it is running on itself? ssh $USER@localhost | 18:02 |
| Sid | for the linux machine | 18:02 |
| hjml | sipior, I install ubuntu on a clean HDD ?! | 18:02 |

| hjml | sipior, > I tryed to follow the suggestion on that error msg but did'nt help | 18:03 |
| sipior | hjml: in that case, you can try the force option, as indicated in the dialogue. that does carry some risks however... | 18:03 |
| zvacet | hjml : then I don´t understand how you get that message | 18:03 |
| sipior | hjml: it didn't work? | 18:03 |
| unop | prashant____, hopefully it will reduce it, but there is no way to say before-hand by how much exactly, it depends on the data - that should take little more than an hour | 18:03 |
| sparr_ | I have many hard drives. I would like to spread certain folders over multiple drives, so that I don't have to manually manage free space on each drive. Is there a [much] less destructive solution for this than RAID? | 18:03 |

| sipior | nucco: you added an "-lm" to the compilation line, right? | 18:03 |

| _Net | Is it possible for me to run a windows partition while being in a ubuntu partition | 18:04 |
| prashant____ | unop, i think a bit confusion here.... look my partion size is 26 gigs and installed content is 5.6 gigs and the previous image obatianed by gzip is 11 GB .. my effort is to reduce the size to what is intalled in it... hope u understand :) | 18:04 |
| Sid | when i try to ssh on the host machine it still says connection refused on port 22 | 18:05 |
| unop | prashant____, then this is probably what you want. tar cjf /path/to/backup.tbz /path/to/mount-point | 18:05 |
| zvacet | hjml : I supose that is your only choice | 18:05 |
| unop | prashant____, you have to make sure that the partition is mounted at /path/to/mount-point first | 18:05 |
| _Net | I heard somewhere it was possible, not sure if its true | 18:05 |

| Flannel | Rotlaus: Right, what you did is you forgot the -a to append, so you instead set your groups instead of adding to them. You can use adduser in the future, or just don't forget the -a anymore. | 19:13 |
| Odd-rationale | *do | 19:13 |
| andcorps | okay i have 2 mode of sound system ALSA or HDA Intel; both does not shows any headphone leveler..seem like i wont be able to use my earphone..install the ndiswrapper..but the description on the packaging does not shows its for audio installation..more on wireless card or something | 19:13 |
| Flannel | Rotlaus: `adduser rotlaus admin` will work, or usermod -G admin -a rotlaus | 19:14 |
| Rotlaus | Flannel, thanks. Im gonna for a reboot now. All other thanks, too. | 19:14 |
| mophead | andcorps: edit --> preferences and make sure everything is checked | 19:14 |
| yedda1 | how can I use the command scp such that it does NOT overwrite existing files that have already been copied? | 19:14 |
| Flannel | Rotlaus: Once you've done that, you'll need to re-add all your other secondary groups as well | 19:14 |
| Flare183 | Flannel: lets hope that works | 19:14 |
| Flannel | Flare183: why wouldn't it work? | 19:15 |
| yedda1 | that is important if I copy recursively and not selectively | 19:15 |
| dtrainer | can someone recommend a package for running an internet cafe? | 19:15 |
| Flare183 | Flannel: Because I had a similar problem before, and I had to reformat my computer to get everything back to working position | 19:15 |
| osmosis | the icon for xchat-gnome is broken after first installing, but is fine after a reboot. | 19:16 |
| RoxanneM | with liveCD, can you take it out and burn a CD? | 19:16 |
| osmosis | it was this way in gutsy, and appears the same in hardy. | 19:16 |
| === lordmetroid_ is now known as LordMetroid | ||
| Flannel | Flare183: That's rediculous. If all you did was remove yourself from the groups, all you need to do is re-add yourself and you're fine. | 19:17 |
| julio_neto | RocketGib, I don't think so | 19:17 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | RoxanneM: huh? what do you mean...? once you have a liveCd downlaoded burn it to a CD and use it, if you want another copy of it than burn it again or the actual cd with the contents | 19:17 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I used gparted to make a second partition on my HD for media files. why don't I have access to it? it says I'm not the owner. | 19:17 |
| julio_neto | RocketGib, in saw it in another distro, but in Ubuntu, no | 19:17 |
| Flare183 | Flannel: I know, but at the time I didn't think about that. But since I know that now. I will never have to go through that again. | 19:18 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: you need to give yourself ownership for that drive | 19:18 |
| edan | er, how can I get gdk-x11 library? | 19:18 |
| RoxanneM | Baby_Shambl3s: i want to know if , while using the liveCD-can you burn a CD | 19:18 |
| toro | ? | 19:18 |
| mophead | andcorps: make sure your headphones are plugged into the headphone hole, instead of the microphone hole. it's a common mistake | 19:18 |
| rj175 | hey room. getting an internal server error with awstats any ideas? | 19:18 |
| Chaotic_Descent | what do I use to give myself ownership? I didn't see anything in gparted. | 19:19 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | RoxanneM: doubt it since youre goign to be using once you boot and the Cd contents doesnt have a burning feature or partition edit | 19:19 |
| cvd-pr | Its there a way to uninstall the VurtialBox.sh software? | 19:19 |
| Chaotic_Descent | it has something to do with mounting? gparted says the partition isn't mounted. | 19:20 |
| djzn | is there any way to tell the LiveCD to bring up a fixed screen resolution and not let it be set at ridiculous resolutions like 800x600???? | 19:20 |
| KRF | id like to set up a cd release mirror in germany, is this a good idea or are there already too many? | 19:20 |
| ViRUS | I got some weird problem after updating my kernel to 2.6.24. "modprobe lp" and "modprobe parport_lowlevel" just hang - thus causing the init to fail. | 19:20 |
| earthmeLon | So guys, can you format NTFS with Ubuntu? (using qtparted right now, it's not an option :P) | 19:20 |
| andcorps | check every single box ..set everything on maximum..both on ALSA and HDA Intel nothing came out from the earphone. How to config this | 19:20 |
| Odd-rationale | KRF: always a good idea :) | 19:20 |
| RoxanneM | the liveCD comes with basero | 19:21 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: you cna search online for terminal command, run nautilus in sudo and change permission settings on the drive to your user instead of root | 19:21 |
| RoxanneM | brasero even | 19:21 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Thanks, Baby_Shambl3s | 19:21 |
| Odd-rationale | earthmeLon: you can create ntfs partitions with ubuntu but you can't install ubuntu on a ntfs partition | 19:21 |
| earthmeLon | Odd-rationale nice. How does one format NTFS partitions with Ubuntu? | 19:22 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | RoxanneM: o_0 gparted comes with brasero... are you sure wow if thats correct that ahs changed since last time i used it so maybe yeah try your luck | 19:22 |
| earthmeLon | Hmmm, seems gparted might be able to do it. Let me try that Odd-rationale | 19:22 |
| Odd-rationale | earthmeLon: gparted is the easiest way. make sure the disk is unmounted before partitioning or formatting | 19:22 |
| RoxanneM | im running liveCD right now | 19:22 |
| win2k8adm | I HATE LINUX SO FUCKING MUCH | 19:23 |
| earthmeLon | I hate using Gparted, because it takes so freaking long to scan my hdds :P | 19:23 |

| Baby_Shambl3s | earthmeLon: you didnt ask for help in formating hd inside ubuntu, no one will help you unless you ask and gparted is quite good for those that like gui i use it myself | 19:26 |
| rj175 | hey room. getting an internal server error with awstats.its set up with virtual servers and im wondering if its something to do with the configurations of the servers. its been annoyin me for ages any ideas? | 19:26 |
| Orbixx | rj175: Check the permissions of the awstats file. | 19:26 |
| Orbixx | Make sure it can execute. | 19:26 |
| ompaul | dbrewer_rjr, grep UID /etc/password | 19:27 |
| earthmeLon | Baby_Shambl3s I asked earlier, It's all good. I'm currently looking up how to do it without gparted, but I am having a hard time finding any information. Do you know of a good place to look? | 19:27 |
| Chaotic_Descent | what is sudo? | 19:27 |
| dbrewer_rjr | ompaul: i did that. rsync gave the file to a uid i cannot locate | 19:27 |
| DJones | !sudo | Chaotic_Descent | 19:27 |
| ubotu | Chaotic_Descent: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 19:27 |
| hwilde | !gparted | earthmeLon, Baby_Shambl3s | 19:27 |

| hwilde | !sound | andcorps | 19:28 |
| ubotu | andcorps: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 19:28 |
| andcorps | ok | 19:28 |
| earthmeLon | Baby_Shambl3s Sweet, I am installing ntfsprogs, which contains mkntfs. I'll play around with that! | 19:28 |
| andcorps | thanks try that first | 19:28 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I'm lost again. terminal command doesn't seem to be specific to anything. I typed "nautilus" in that, and it brought up the file browser. the file browser doesn't let me change ownership of partitions. | 19:28 |
| rj175 | orbixx where is the file stored again :S | 19:28 |
| ompaul | dbrewer_rjr, are they both the same system type - i.e. what o/s is on both? | 19:28 |
| earthmeLon | Baby_Shambl3s: Do you know of a way to get a list of all my available HDDs? I just installed a new one and am not sure what it's labeled as. | 19:29 |
| ompaul | dbrewer_rjr, it is usually a sign that the user:group combo is not the same on both boxen | 19:29 |
| hwilde | earthmeLon, sudo fdisk -l | 19:29 |
| dbrewer_rjr | well, where it came from does not matter, it is migrated to gusty from red hat | 19:29 |
| hwilde | Chaotic_Descent, type "sudo nautilus" | 19:29 |
| Orbixx | rj175: No idea. lol | 19:29 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: what are you doing exactly? to run nautilus as root you need command gksudo nautilus... | 19:29 |
| Orbixx | Google it. | 19:29 |
| dbrewer_rjr | ompaul: well, where it came from does not matter, it is migrated to gusty from red hat | 19:29 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | hwilde: gui should not be claled with sudo but gksudo | 19:30 |
| Orbixx | Problem! Firestarter times out when starting on boot. Any idea why? | 19:30 |
| ompaul | dbrewer_rjr, that is the cause of the lack of ownership it is a group user mismatch that is the cause and therefore does matter :) | 19:30 |
| dbrewer_rjr | ompaul: true, i have the sgid bit set on the gutsy box, to enable group share. | 19:30 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I'm trying to make a partition to put media files onto. I'm new to Linux in general. | 19:30 |
| hwilde | Chaotic_Descent, if you want to make a partition, use gparted | 19:31 |
| hwilde | !gparted | Chaotic_Descent | 19:31 |
| ubotu | Chaotic_Descent: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 19:31 |
| dbrewer_rjr | ompaul: but the file owner is a mystery to me | 19:31 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I used gparted. I can't seem to access the filespace. it lists something called "lost + found" which I don't have permission to access. | 19:31 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I can't create folders either. | 19:31 |
| hwilde | Chaotic_Descent, how did you mount the new partition | 19:32 |
| Chaotic_Descent | it says it's not mounted. | 19:32 |
| rj175 | orbixx this is wat the file is like | 19:32 |
| rj175 | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 548932 2008-04-20 22:46 awstats.pl | 19:32 |

| Orbixx | rj175: Seems fine. | 19:32 |
| ompaul | dbrewer_rjr, I just told you - user:group has to match on both systems they don't use the same one | 19:32 |
| hwilde | Chaotic_Descent, follow that info from ubotu and mount the new partition. | 19:32 |
| Orbixx | Might be worth reinstalling it. | 19:32 |
| rj175 | ill do tht now and get back to u :P | 19:33 |
| zeno | hi i am gettting the error "could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailible)" (yes im using sudo) | 19:33 |

| Chaotic_Descent | I do not seem to have a System -> Administration -> Disks | 19:34 |
| dbrewer_rjr | ompaul: the code was already migrated. the user:group did not match. Now I need to know who owns the file. maybe i should grep the shadow file? | 19:34 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: if its not mounted than mount it using command sudo mount /dev/ds2 "if thats the device" and mount it to /media/whatever but you must create the folder there using sudo mkdir | 19:34 |
| zeno | hwilde: not running any | 19:34 |
| zeno | killall synaptic just to be sure and nothing =p | 19:34 |
| hwilde | zeno, that usually means some other process has the lock. like apt-get | 19:35 |
| PeterFA | Everytime I start kword or OpenOffice.org Writer, it starts drawing the window and then crashes. This has been happening since I had FF2 open and updates running, and updates crashed mentioning something about FF2 (I forget the exact error message). How do I fix this? Do I have to reinstall every package? | 19:35 |
| FireSnake | Can anybody help me? My opera don't play flash but FF plays | 19:35 |
| zeno | hwilde: im just running that terminal and firefox | 19:35 |
| rj175 | orbixx still got the same error :( | 19:35 |
| hwilde | zeno, if you are *sure* there is nothing else running that would have the lock... you could delete the lock | 19:35 |
| zeno | im sure | 19:35 |
| dbrewer_rjr | << clueless at this point | 19:35 |
| zeno | how to delete it? thx | 19:35 |
| hwilde | dbrewer_rjr, just chown it | 19:35 |
| hwilde | zeno, rm it | 19:35 |
| Pici | !aptfix | zeno | 19:36 |
| ubotu | zeno: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 19:36 |
| zeno | so sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lock? | 19:36 |
| dbrewer_rjr | lol that would take forever, unless i -R it, then live with the consequences | 19:36 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | hmmm is w3m really a text based browser looks too good to be so especially since it shows images hope its not slow but i think has tabs even knowing the site doesnt mention it | 19:36 |
| dbrewer_rjr | i guess chown it is | 19:36 |
| zeno | Pici: thx | 19:36 |
| dbrewer_rjr | but i still think i should be able to do a reverse lookup from the uid | 19:37 |
| rj175 | anyone else got any ideas about internal server error with awstats? | 19:37 |

| remote | how can I stop X on an Ubuntu live CD, all init levels seem to insist on starting it | 19:44 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: if you're the one who installed ubuntu onto your system than root pass would be your normal pass but if not you're going to have to ask the eprson who did so | 19:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I installed it. can't I just log in as root instead of typing out commands? | 19:45 |
| blind | !root | 19:45 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:45 |
| zeno | hi i am gettting the error "could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailible)" (yes im using sudo); i dont have any package managers open and i tried the sudo fuser.... thing | 19:45 |
| blind | there, read that, Chaotic_Descent | 19:45 |
| unop | remote, you can access a virtual terminal - CTRL+ALT+F1 .. the command to stop X is. sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 19:45 |
| remote | unop: I want to stop X though. | 19:45 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: I think the problem is that you havent serached online and have no idea how to do this there are many tuts in google and ubuntu forums that give simple instruction on how to mount its not hard it seems hard cause its your first time | 19:45 |
| remote | ah oh | 19:45 |
| unop | remote, the CD is built that way, to start X .. if you want to stop it, you have to do so manually | 19:46 |
| craig | just like to say, i've been using ubuntu for 2 days now, and finding it awesome, don't think i'll be going back to vista anytime soon :-) | 19:46 |
| axion | zeno make sure you have other package managers active.. | 19:46 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I did search online. I just coun't find anything relevant. I found stuff about installing Ubuntu that had nothing to do with this. | 19:46 |
| linkinxp | craig: :D nice | 19:46 |
| Chaotic_Descent | It's also very hard to search for things you know nothing about. | 19:46 |

| spacepluk | I mean different to the system default | 19:47 |
| recon | In fact, is there any way to find out which characters are mapped to different compose key variations? | 19:47 |
| axion | Chaotic_Descent, there's NO root password | 19:47 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I looked in the Ubuntu help itself and just found stuff about different applications. nothing about the generalities of how you mount partitions. | 19:47 |
| ghaith | Chaotic_Descent, sudo is simply safer then logging in as root, and don't do that.. sudo su - will keep you from typing sudo infront of every command for that session if you want, you'll be root inside that terminal.. | 19:47 |
| Chaotic_Descent | axion: yes, thank you. I got that the FIRST time someone told me! | 19:47 |
| zeno | axion: positive | 19:48 |
| zeno | also su isnt working (and i know its the right password) | 19:48 |
| blind | zeno: sudo su | 19:48 |
| axion | to mount a partition first you have to be certain the drive is attached to the system and drivers are available and activated.. | 19:48 |
| axion | secondly you have to make sure it's not allready mounted | 19:49 |
| craig | before I installed ubuntu I could boot from Vista or XP, now that ubuntu has taken over as the boot loader i can only boot into ubuntu and Vista (not XP), how can i get XP back, as i need it for specific apps? | 19:49 |
| linkinxp | craig: :D nice | 19:49 |
| linkinxp | ups | 19:49 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: going afk ppl here will help you out but you should search online on how to mount, how sudo works and how ubuntu/linux organises its files, be back in 15mins "its relaly easy but it takes time when youre new" | 19:49 |
| axion | thirdly make a directory in /mnt ( like /mnt/sdc1 | 19:49 |
| Chaotic_Descent | it's the mounting that was new to me. | 19:49 |
| axion | then mount the partition on that directory | 19:49 |
| linkinxp | craig: typing the information in grub? i think | 19:49 |
| Chaotic_Descent | yeah, I finally got it. I think. It's just that I didn't know I was supposed to search for general info on mounting, or how to identify if I had found general info on it, or specific info that didn't cover what I needed to do. | 19:50 |
| ghaith | craig, you can modify the grub config, copy the vista part, and modify the drive and name.. or boot into vista and have the bootload (in system properties i think) have 2 options, xp and vista | 19:50 |
| axion | man mount | 19:50 |

| Chaotic_Descent | I'm just trying to figure out where files are supposed to go. | 20:01 |
| Pelo | Chaotic_Descent, your partiton is not called lost and found, ext3 makes a folder like that for lost cluster when it fsck | 20:02 |
| axion | Chaotic_Descent, that's the lost and found directory that comes on every ext2/3 partition for filcheckling and save lost and fopund files | 20:02 |

| lz1gjd | is there a kvpnc alternative for gnome desktop ? | 20:02 |
| mnemo | Chaotic_Descent: most people just use a package manager to install programs and then you get icons added to gnome applications menu automatically (or in some cases you can type new commands in the terminal)... as for *data* files, most people put those in their home directory | 20:02 |
| zeno | Pelo: great now it works thx alot | 20:02 |
| zeno | whats dpkg anyways | 20:03 |
| lz1gjd | actually its been the only tool that allowed me to get my work done | 20:03 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: if you go on google and do a search on ubuntu filesystem youll find links that explain what each folder is used for or how ubuntu/linux is structured | 20:03 |
| Pelo | zeno, another frontend for apt | 20:03 |

| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: pictures go in pictures your home file is yours you can structure it anyway you want so it doesnt matter where you save stuff :D but things like mounting needs to be sent to the correct place | 20:04 |

| krammer_ | where can i find help for nebwies for wine | 20:04 |
| mophead | #wine | 20:05 |
| FastZ | lzlgjd: you can use kvpnc in GNOME as well as KDE | 20:05 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Chaotic_Descent: o_0 oh simple mistake to make but than those need root access so you wont be able to use them normally | 20:05 |
| mophead | #winehq | 20:05 |
| ghaith | Chaotic_Descent, if you seperate your home partition during install, and keep everything there you will manage to keep every setting you have even after reinstallation, and that's a good practice | 20:05 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ... uhg... so... other partitions go in media, but if you put pictures in my partition ... see, I don't want to have to go clickity click half a dozen times just to get to my pictures. | 20:05 |
| ghaith | Chaotic_Descent, you can "Bookmark" locations, so you just click on places and get there | 20:06 |
| ghaith | in nautilus, drag the folder you want to bookmark to the left side, if the left toolbar doesn't show press F9 | 20:07 |
| mophead | Chaotic_Descent: I put a linjk to my home folder in my "bar" thingy at the bottom | 20:07 |
| lz1gjd | FastZ: i know but id like to use a gtk toolkit tool | 20:07 |
| lz1gjd | FastZ: i mean pure gnome app ;) | 20:07 |
| mnemo | Chaotic_Descent: okay, so basically you might have some files in your home directory but if you have an external USB hard drive or maybe another partition (NTFS or ext3 or whatever) you will mount all of those partitions under /media so in that sense you might store music/docs/stuff in both the home directory and in some mounted volume under /media ... however, you won't typically navigate to "/media" when you save or open files there because GNOME will | 20:07 |
| NinjaElf | Chaotic_Descent you could make a symlink | 20:07 |
| FastZ | lzlgjd: gotcha, I'll help you look cuz I dont know one off the top of my head | 20:08 |

| mnemo | Chaotic_Descent: because GNOME will show all harddrives/partitions in the left part of each open/save dialog... and GNOME also has the "Places" menu with all your harddrives plus network folders you configure | 20:10 |
| B|ackDayz | they have a similar issue posted on the ubuntu forum | 20:11 |
| B|ackDayz | but it's not for live versions of the case. | 20:11 |
| FastZ | lzlgjd: no prob, hope you can weed through those search results and find something you can be comfortable with using | 20:11 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Lamego: hmmm just thought since w3m introduces color and elinks doesnt "or it could be my noobness" I thought elinks was faster and took less resources | 20:11 |
| B|ackDayz | so, apt-get, or reinstall ubuntu minimal wont work in this case. | 20:11 |

| Phusion | hey there, running semi-latest 8.04 and everything is great, except when I run WinXP in VirtualBox, it will not capture my mouse | 20:40 |
| emil_ | \nick Man007 | 20:40 |
| Phusion | I suspect its an error in xorg.conf or something along those lines.. but not sure | 20:40 |
| Phusion | worked great in 7.10 | 20:40 |
| FastZ_ | linkinxp: yeah, as far as op tools go, you might be better off installing the regular xchat sudo apt-get install xchat | 20:41 |
| FastZ_ | quit | 20:41 |
| FastZ_ | that doesnt work does it | 20:41 |
| h00k | FastZ_: will it keep my settings;) ? | 20:41 |

| buggmaster | is there a package for mysqltuner | 20:42 |
| FastZ | hOOk: not sure about that. i'm not familiar with what the differences between the settings for each of the two versions | 20:42 |
| h00k | FastZ: I'll try :) | 20:42 |

| _Rambaldi_ | i am learning to write scripts in for bash (gedit) but i a getting a little frustrated counting lines to locate mistakes, is there a software for writing scripts that has line numbers? | 20:43 |
| FastZ | h00k and linkinxp: it appears that xchat-gnome and xchat both store settings in .xchat2 in your /home so removing one and installing the other should allow you to use the settings from the previous version | 20:43 |
| crdlb | _Rambaldi_: gedit has line numbers. Edit > Preferences | 20:44 |

| Starnestommy | Qaldune: I've found that adobe and gnash are about as fast, but adobe works better | 20:46 |
| Qaldune | mistapapa: i don't know about speed, but you'll get a lot of trouble with swfdec and gnash with most websites | 20:46 |
| Auctionedllama | !hardy | Auctionedllama | 20:46 |
| Starnestommy | er, | 20:47 |
| Starnestommy | mistapapa: I've found that adobe and gnash are about as fast, but adobe works better | 20:47 |
| Qaldune | starnestommy, that's exactly what i meant | 20:47 |
| Starnestommy | Qaldune: I accidentally typed the wrong nickname | 20:47 |
| Qaldune | ok | 20:47 |
| Lamego | unforsaken, you need to be more specific, maybe a pastebin | 20:47 |
| mistapapa | okay... all i want is performance in youtube lol | 20:47 |
| mistapapa | so ich choose adobe for now... maybe later versions will be more reliable | 20:48 |

| FastZ | chicos: loads of hotties in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:50 |
| Phusion | anyone know why virtualbox won't grab my mouse for winxp guest OS in Ubuntu 8.04? | 20:50 |
| mistapapa | another more general question: shall i install all updates that update manager shows or do i have to be more careful concerning packages? | 20:50 |
| Lamego | peter___, "nothing happens" ? or you get a command not found ? | 20:50 |
| peter___ | command not found | 20:50 |
| Lamego | mistapapa, in general you should trust on updates, except for the very rare cases they break your system, in particular with kernel updates :P | 20:51 |
| Auctionedllama | Hi, I just installed hardy, and my GFX card is working full blast, but whenever I switch themes my bars will never change. They're always grey no matter what I switch too (the gui bars at the top) how do I fix this? | 20:51 |
| Lamego | peter___, ls -l yourlink | 20:51 |
| peter___ | also when typing x and then tabbing, no binaries are shown | 20:51 |

| Redhammer | hi short question: how do I "reset my appearance manager" all the themes there seem to be unable to show a preview and are garbled, FYI I have already done a "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" which has solved most of my messed up conf but that bit is still eluding me | 20:51 |
| peter___ | ls -l? | 20:51 |
| peter___ | ls -ls then? | 20:52 |
| jac0b-w | does anyone know if the "The folder contents could not be displayed" error has been fixed in hardy? | 20:52 |
| Auctionedllama | lamego, sigh D: | 20:52 |
| mistapapa | Lamego: okay I'll trust these updates and hope that they won't break anything | 20:52 |
| FastZ | peter___: ls -l just shows a long listed format of the regular ls command | 20:52 |
| peter___ | okay | 20:52 |
| peter___ | Lamego: ow yes, stupid, sory, didn't see it, it points to: ../X11R6/bin | 20:53 |

| Lamego | chicos, do you have a support question, if you do not, leave | 20:54 |
| Lamego | unforsaken, no idea, it misses the file, either from the source, or because it was not able to build it | 20:54 |

| Animortis | I have a problem. I have proFTPD installed and want it to work on boot. For some reason, it will not start for use on a boot. I have tried update-rc.d with defaults but it claims there's already links there. I can use /etc/init.d/proftpd start and stop from a raw boot to my desktop and they will BOTH work for some reason. Either way, however, I have to start the service to get it to work. Can anyone help me get started on fixing | 20:59 |
| Animortis | this, or maybe automating the manual start and stop commands I'm doing? | 20:59 |
| DarkWolf | i have tryed Envy but had no luck | 20:59 |
| sanozuke | olways nice | 20:59 |
| Animortis | Wow sorry | 20:59 |
| peter___ | So it should be, thanks guys :D | 20:59 |
| FastZ | Darkwolf: system>administration>restricted drivers manager doesnt allow you to install them? | 21:00 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | DarkWolf: 7.10 isnt new and there are plenty of tuts in ubuntuforums.org or you can wait for seomone to help you that has nvidia card | 21:00 |
| Lamego | Baby_Shambl3s, if you dont know the answers, do not send people to google !!! | 21:00 |
| DareDevi1 | Lamego could you help me please?? | 21:01 |
| peter___ | Now the following happens: X: error while loading shared libraries: libXau.so.6: cannot open.... | 21:01 |
| Lamego | !anyone | DareDevi1 | 21:01 |
| ubotu | DareDevi1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:01 |
| FastZ | Animortis: add proftpd to System>Preferences>Sessions | 21:01 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Lamego: sorry but the point is not that im sending people to goole but half of what they ask is in the forum or google but yeah np wont do that any more | 21:01 |
| Lamego | peter___, you dont have the libraries on the library search path, for those binaries | 21:01 |
| unop | peter___, X requires you start it via startx not directly | 21:01 |
| DarkWolf | i have try restricted drivers, also editing the xconfg file to nvidia insted of nv | 21:01 |
| Animortis | FastZ, That requires a password and for me to log in to work. I want it on boot, not log in. | 21:01 |
| Lamego | peter___, what are you trying to achieve ? | 21:02 |

| Dudeeee34 | No i cant. | 21:40 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Lamego: is there a cp command i cna use that will copy from /var and change permission to my user instead of root? | 21:40 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, it's not if you know what you're doing. | 21:40 |
| Dudeeee34 | my router is configured on this laptop though | 21:40 |

| ecchi | trying to install ubuntu (Gutsy) onto Dell Optioplex 170L -- the DVD-Rom acts like its going REALLY slow (well its spinning a lot/accessing the contents).. but can't seem to load live Disk fully.. talking like 30 mins just to get part the of live Desktop loaded (with icons still slowly loading). Ideas? | 21:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, do you see your card with ifconfig or iwconfig? | 21:41 |
| Coder7 | I'm am having a hell of a time trying to get OpenLDAP + TLS to work while testing 8.04, any ideas? | 21:41 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, those are commands you would issue from a root console. | 21:42 |
| achandrashekar_ | Baby_Shambl3s: Why not write a bash script that does that? mkdir newdirectory cp -r /var /newdirectory then chown -R whoever:whatever newdirectory | 21:42 |
| Dudeeee34 | What are they? | 21:42 |
| Starnestommy | Dudeeee34: or in a terminal with "sudo" before the commands | 21:42 |
| noodlesgc | ecchi you could use the alternate cd | 21:42 |
| Starnestommy | Dudeeee34: they're utilities for managing internet interfaces | 21:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, sorry, this is Ubuntu!! | 21:42 |
| ecchi | alternate cd? | 21:42 |
| Dudeeee34 | Ok | 21:42 |
| noodlesgc | ecchi it installs from a command line interface | 21:43 |
| noodlesgc | ecchi there should be a checkbox when you are downloading | 21:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, there should be a program in your menu called "term", "terminal", "console", "kterm" etc | 21:43 |

| Dudeeee34 | I use some commands like "sudo apt-get install..." | 21:44 |
| gustavo_ | hey guys, Ubuntu cannot recognize my microfone. when I go to System->Preferences->Sounds->Test sound rec it gives me an error ---> gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: | 21:44 |

| gustavo_ | plus a message in my language | 21:44 |
| Dudeeee34 | Alright it gave me the types of internet | 21:44 |
| Dudeeee34 | like Eth1 and lo. | 21:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, that should list your network devices. "sudo iwconfig" should list all of your wireless devices | 21:45 |
| noodlesgc | gustavo_ what is the audio choice set to? | 21:45 |

| Dudeeee34 | It says eth1 eth0 and lo | 21:45 |
| Dudeeee34 | Dose this mean i have wireless or no? | 21:45 |
| noodlesgc | gustavo_ what audio driver is that drop-down list set to? | 21:46 |
| thannoy | ryanakca: something "ssh accoutB@B -L 2227:127.0.0.1:2227" should give you a local 2227 port on A which is bind to B:2227 | 21:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Dudeeee34, it could, you're going to have to be a little more specific | 21:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Dudeeee34, do either of the eth ones look different? do you have any output from iwconfig? | 21:46 |
| Lamego | ryanakca, ssh server_a -L2227:server_b:2227 | 21:46 |
| Dudeeee34 | No not at all | 21:46 |
| Dudeeee34 | they look the exact same. | 21:46 |

| yggwork | hello, i am suspecting abad drive on my laptop | 21:53 |
| yggwork | how can i force a total hard fsck on it ? i have to do it when it reboots i think | 21:53 |
| petterah | the good ol' human? nice, i didn't like the new gtk theme with the orange bar.. but its easy to change though.. | 21:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 21:53 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:53 |
| ryanakca | thannoy: OK. Sorry, what's happening with the command is the same thing had I gone 'ssh B'. It doesn't appear to be creating a tunning going A:2227->B:22->B:2227 | 21:53 |
| ryanakca | thannoy: it just creates a plain ssh connection for me | 21:54 |
| thannoy | ryanakca: and yes, while this tunnel is running, you are on the ssh prompt, as if you do not use -L. You should got the prompt and the tunnel should be running. | 21:54 |

| christopher | why are these broadcom wireless cards such a pain | 22:16 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil if you made a dir called hda1 in mnt yes | 22:16 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil ubuntu likes to use /meda/wherever | 22:16 |
| noodlesgc | christopher because the drivers are proprietary | 22:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tombombidil, did you create a mount point | 22:17 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil so make its /media/hda1 | 22:17 |

| gogeta | Tombombidil just depends on how many partations you have | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gogeta, agreed the mount point is just a name you create | 22:19 |
| LSG | gogeta: Couldn't it be sda? Or was that GRUB's way of naming partitions? I forget... | 22:20 |
| Speedy | hi guys, i just installed ubuntu and now my MS office disk wont work with it, is this a bug? | 22:20 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil can be sda yep | 22:20 |
| christopher | ok it's downloading and extracting now | 22:20 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil but hda still works | 22:20 |
| LSG | Speedy: o.o | 22:20 |
| gogeta | oops wrong name | 22:20 |
| christopher | it's done extracting | 22:20 |
| Tombombidil | Gparted lists the available partitions as hda1 (67 Gb, the drive I need to mount), hda2, the recovery drive, and some unallocated space | 22:20 |
| tzd | how do i add rss feeds from Firefox to akregator please? | 22:21 |
| unop | Speedy, eh? linux does not understand windows installers .. you'll need to use wine or something like it to install office | 22:21 |
| LSG | gogeta: I'll ask you instead of telling Tombombidil cause i'm not sure, but how about trying to unmount the partition and mounting it back? | 22:21 |
| === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle | ||
| gogeta | Tombombidil normaly ubuntu will call it just that 64gb drive | 22:21 |
| christopher | noodlesgc, it's done thanks for your help btw | 22:22 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil clicking that in natuls should take you there | 22:22 |
| seabeast | unop: it's a troll, don't feed it | 22:22 |
| noodlesgc | christopher no problem | 22:22 |
| christopher | noodlesgc, now do i need to reboot? | 22:22 |
| Tombombidil | gparted claims that the 60 Gb drive is unmounted | 22:22 |
| noodlesgc | christopher yes i think so | 22:22 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil agreed try sudo umount /dev/hda1 then mount it again where you would like it | 22:22 |
| christopher | noodlesgc, ok then i'll be back soon ;) | 22:23 |

| mrkeishii | How do you install a Screensaver? | 22:24 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil it sounds like ubuntu was it someplace | 22:24 |
| seabeast | unop: obviously not, just an advice on how to use your energy more efficiently | 22:24 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil have you checked in media fully | 22:24 |
| Tombombidil | could this be the result of not properly shutting the computer down? | 22:24 |
| seabeast | :) | 22:24 |
| olegkorneit | is there a built-in IRC in ubuntu? | 22:24 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil it might be called windows | 22:24 |

| sivel27 | hello everyone | 22:29 |
| bent_ | Hey again again #ubuntu. Was hoping someone could help me get my broadcom card to work before I go out and buy a USB wireless card. It's a BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02). It dosen't have an interface I can find, but it is detected by lspci. Ive tried 4 different how-tos on the forums, and 2 wiki entries... between 5 clean installs. The b43 drivers do not work (i.e !broadcom is a nogo.) | 22:29 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil well is your files there | 22:29 |
| mr_boo | LSG: how did you install it? | 22:29 |
| mrkeishii | nah doesn | 22:29 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil if they it means its mounted | 22:29 |
| mrkeishii | does not help | 22:29 |
| christopher | bent_, good luck.. i've been trying for a week | 22:29 |
| sivel27 | does anyone know, by chance, if the repos are slow bandwidth-wise today?, or is it just my nic? | 22:29 |
| LSG | mr_boo: I just got the restricted drivers and it worked perfectly. Are you having problems with it? | 22:30 |
| Tombombidil | oh, what you're saying is, the livecd treats hda1 as its filesystem? | 22:30 |
| bent_ | christopher: Thanks, but I'm soon going to end up getting a usb card... or something. Maybe. | 22:30 |
| mr_boo | LSG: it starts in low graphics mode | 22:30 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil oh your live | 22:30 |
| Tombombidil | yeah | 22:30 |
| christopher | bent_, that is what i'm considering but i want to make sure it's going to work before i buy it | 22:30 |
| LSG | Tombombidil: I didn't know you were on a live session.. | 22:30 |
| Tombombidil | sorry, I thought I made that clear | 22:30 |
| mr_boo | LSG: i tried to install this, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.04-pkg1 | 22:30 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil haha yea i think it does | 22:30 |
| _Rambaldi_ | jaffarkel, hi | 22:31 |
| rinaldi_ | hi, I was reading up on the ubuntu website about the mobile version. How does that work? Is it available in any current devices? | 22:31 |
| LSG | mr_boo: Why not the restricted drivers? They seem to work just fine. | 22:31 |
| linkmaster03 | How can I find the exact model of my Realtek High Definition Audio sound card? | 22:31 |
| mr_boo | LSG: where do i get them? | 22:31 |
| Tombombidil | I'm terribly sorry, I thought I said that in my first question. | 22:31 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil the the letterings gonna differ | 22:31 |
| christopher | bent_, my light doesn't even come on does yours | 22:31 |
| LSG | mr_boo: Are you using Gnome? | 22:31 |
| mr_boo | LSG: yup | 22:31 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil try using hda2 | 22:31 |
| crimsun | linkmaster03: look in /proc/asound/card0/codec* | 22:31 |
| Tombombidil | really? Gparted lists hda2 as the recovery drive | 22:32 |
| gogeta | or sda1 | 22:32 |
| bent_ | christopher: Nope, not on my tx1308nr ... And nothing is happening. | 22:32 |
| Tombombidil | I tried sda1 first | 22:32 |
| gogeta | the hda3 | 22:32 |
| LSG | mr_boo: Ok, then go to System--Administration--Restricted Drivers Manager | 22:32 |
| BobSapp | wow | 22:32 |
| BobSapp | someone using my old handle | 22:32 |
| === solid_lia is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Tombombidil | there's no hda3 listed, will that work? | 22:32 |
| gogeta | yea hda3 should be it | 22:32 |
| mrkeishii | how do i install files from my desktop using terminal? | 22:32 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil live recovery and win | 22:32 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil in that order | 22:32 |
| Tombombidil | I'm sorry, I don't understand what you meant. | 22:33 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil your partation order | 22:33 |
| LSG | Tombombidil: Are you trying to burn the files from that partition to a cd/dvd or transfer them to another partition? | 22:33 |
| Tombombidil | Oh! | 22:33 |
| linkmaster03 | crimsun: the card0 folder isn't there. My sound card does not currently work at all on Ubuntu therefore I am trying to find the exact model to get the drivers | 22:33 |
| mr_boo | LSG: i don't have such a manager | 22:33 |
| === solid_liq is now known as solid_lia | ||
| Tombombidil | transfer them to an external fileserver | 22:33 |
| LSG | mr_boo: Uh...what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 22:33 |
| mr_boo | LSG: gutsy | 22:34 |
| === solid_lia is now known as solid_liq | ||
| crimsun | linkmaster03: then start with `lspci -nv|grep -A1 0403' | 22:34 |
| LSG | mr_boo: That's...odd. It should be there. Are you sure you looked in the right menu? | 22:34 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil hda3 should be what you need | 22:34 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil im suprised the live cd isnt doing this for you | 22:34 |
| mr_boo | LSG: ah, i think i found it | 22:34 |
| Tombombidil | ok, I'll give it a shot | 22:34 |
| sivel27 | anyone else having slow repo download ? | 22:35 |

| mrkeishii | how to install a file from desktop using terminal??? | 22:35 |
| mr_boo | LSG: it says stuff about third party drivers | 22:35 |
| christopher | bent_, i think i'm just going to give up ever thinking i can get my wireless to work it's just to frustrating | 22:35 |
| LSG | mr_boo: Yeah, agree to it and let it download them | 22:35 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil open places home | 22:35 |
| gogeta | Tombombidil and in the left sidebar you should see all your harddisk | 22:35 |
| Auctionedllama | !hardy | Auctionedllama | 22:35 |
| bent_ | christopher: agreed. But wireless is mission critical if I ever want to use internet... for most of my day. | 22:35 |
| LSG | mr_boo: You'll need to reboot the system after it's done. | 22:35 |
| LSG | gogeta: Why didn't i think of that....? | 22:36 |
| mr_boo | LSG: it this all to it? | 22:36 |

| olegkorneit | non-ubuntu --- im trying to copy over important files onto an external drive (connected through USB) which has 255GB free space left. Im trying to through a video over onto it (4gb) and its saying there isnt enough space and isnt letting me transfer. any ideas? | 22:37 |
| bent_ | christopher: If you have the same computer as me... well, atleast everything else works. Except the headphone port. | 22:37 |
| Tombombidil | that's exactly what I see, however, when I double click on the volume I want to see, it says cannot mount volume, and under details, it says that the logfile indicates an unclean shutdown | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | olegkorneit: which file system has the drive? | 22:37 |
| christopher | can anyone assist with a broadcom wireless ? i | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | !broadcom | christopher | 22:37 |
| ubotu | christopher: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 22:37 |
| Tombombidil | and then starts talking about the NTFS drive being marked as in use | 22:37 |
| gogeta | Tombombidi it means you need to boot windows and run chkdsk | 22:37 |
| gogeta | Tombombidi if you can get that far | 22:38 |
| LSG | Tombombidil: I'm assuming, of course, that something happened to your Windows partition, right? | 22:38 |
| thannoy | olegkorneit: your extrenal drive is in fat32? fat32 can't manage >4GB files | 22:38 |
| Tombombidil | yes | 22:38 |
| Tombombidil | we're having problems with audio | 22:38 |
| olegkorneit | damn it... thats my problem then.. it is a fat32 | 22:38 |
| Tombombidil | among other things | 22:38 |
| olegkorneit | thanks | 22:38 |
| LSG | Tombombidil: But..can you boot your Win partition? | 22:38 |
| Tombombidil | chkdisk was run 2 days ago with no errors | 22:38 |
| gogeta | Tombombidi ok start windows let chkdsk run and boot the cd again | 22:38 |
| Tombombidil | windows partition no longer boots | 22:38 |
| skarface | Tombombidil: are you hibernating windows instead of shutting it down? | 22:39 |
| gogeta | Tombombidi as long as it can boot chkdsk thats fine | 22:39 |
| LSG | Tombombidil: I was afraid you were gonna say that =( | 22:39 |
| ashdkjahksdas | free mp3 http://www.pc10.com.br | 22:39 |
| Tombombidil | yes, windows was often hibernated | 22:39 |
| skarface | Tombombidil: that will 'cause "in use" on the linux side | 22:39 |
| bent_ | christopher: Here goes yet another attempt at me installing it. | 22:39 |
| gogeta | Tombombidi we can force mount it being we can tell where the drive is in /dev if need be but thats a lasty resort | 22:40 |
| Don_Sergo | âñåì äîáðîé íî÷è | 22:40 |
| Tombombidil | the computer was completely shut down before booting the livecd | 22:40 |
| christopher | i have 8.04 and it says the drivers are already included but it doesn't even recognize the wifi | 22:40 |
| gogeta | Tombombidi yea you need to pull windows out of hibernate | 22:40 |
| thannoy | olegkorneit: you can split your files in 4B subfiles to backup them, the command split can do it. Then you will have to concatenate files by "cat file1 file2 file3 > fileall" | 22:40 |

| FastZ | Christina18: I guess the best thing I can tell you is to boot Ubuntu and try to burn a DVD using that burner. If it works then good! :) | 23:05 |
| earthmeLon | Nexano I have two monitors in twinview using different resolutions. Is that what you want to do? | 23:05 |

I used envy http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html and had it install the new drivers, plus edit the configuration file and it worked very nicely.

| Jimmey | bent_, no problem :-) | 23:17 |
| bazhang | PedanticSteve: the experts are on leave; we are filling in | 23:17 |
| friel | starnestommy: first thing i checked. been having this issue for upwards of an hour | 23:17 |
| Jimmey | Perhaps someone can help - Usually when installing a Linux on my computer with a bcm43xx wireless card I just put the firmware files in /lib/firmware and restart to make the card work - Can I make it work without restarting? | 23:17 |
| thatGuy_ | zvacet: bazhang any other ideas? | 23:18 |
| Zelta | Jimmey: I don't think so | 23:18 |
| friel | starnestommy: dir does show the file setup.sh, along with the rest of the files in the directory. | 23:18 |
| PedanticSteve | bazhang: Thenks (03:01:25 PM) IRC-vpn: Hi all, I have a networking issue with Gutsy (had the same with Hardy and am running Gutsy now). I have a hardware VPN router in my office and my windows machine connects just fine (around 5 Mbits/sec download). My linux laptop gets around 100Kbits/sec download. I dont know where to start... I already verified I am connected at 100 Mbits/full duplex to my router. It is also detailed in this | 23:18 |
| xip | Anybody throw the 8.04 rc cd in and have it set an unsupported resolution for you monitor? or am I just that lucky? :D | 23:18 |
| Jimmey | Zelta, so no chance of doing it on the liveCD? | 23:18 |
| josh_ | | | 23:18 |
| b4l74z4r | i would like to suggest that the makers og "rhythmbox" adds a location column | 23:18 |
| zvacet | thatGuy_ No,sorry | 23:18 |
| Zelta | Jimmey: I don't think so... why not just install it? :p | 23:18 |
| spine55 | c/lear | 23:18 |
| === josh_ is now known as Aces| | ||
| Jimmey | Zelta, will do ;-) | 23:18 |
| Starnestommy | friel: try opening it with "sudo vim setup.sh" then tell me what the first line of it is | 23:19 |
| hailu_ | how can i delete a repository and start over? i made a repo and did an svn import, but i screwed up and want to try again | 23:19 |
| bent_ | Jimmey: Think a WG111US is the same as the v2? Netgear is being vague, and stuff. | 23:19 |
| zvacet | hailu_ : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and correct what you need | 23:20 |
| thatGuy_ | bazhang: zvacet, i will try the recovery disc suggestion | 23:20 |
| friel | starnestommy: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "setup.sh" [new file]. each ~ is a new line | 23:20 |
| earthmeLon | hailu_ try sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:20 |
| Jimmey | bent_, it's probably safe to assume that the sticks in the WG111 series will work - Try googling around | 23:20 |
| hailu_ | thanks guys! | 23:20 |
| Starnestommy | friel: apparently, it doesn't exist for some reason or you typed the name in the wrong case | 23:21 |
| Jimmey | bent_, hang on. Although I'm sure it worked on my Dad's computer, it says something about ndiswrapper in the google results. | 23:22 |
| xip | is there a way, from the boot options on the live cd, that I can set a lower resolution? | 23:22 |
| friel | starnestommy: total headf***. It's all lower case. Thanks for your time though | 23:22 |
| YuriQ | Hi. Am running on SATA drives, ubuntu-server 7.10 | 23:22 |
| YuriQ | Usually, IDE drives require optimization through hdparm on Linux | 23:22 |
| * milia later | 23:22 | |
| YuriQ | does the same apply to SATA drives under Ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| mattywarr | hi - how do i connect to my ubuntu pc from another (Windows) pc? Is there any built in VNC server style app in ubuntu? | 23:23 |
| Jimmey | bent_, actually, you'd better steer clear of this dongle! Sorry, seems like I gave you some useless advice | 23:23 |
| earthmeLon | mattywarr: What do you want to do? | 23:23 |
| friel | starnestommy: ./setup.sh brings up a loki update tool, with a warning no writable targets in path, "you may want to be root" | 23:23 |
| rycole | what is ubuntu's system path? /usr/sbin? | 23:23 |
| bent_ | Jimmey: Aw, thanks. I wish there was an easier way to make sure what I buy will work... because I've spent 3 days fighting with broadcom stuff. | 23:24 |
| mattywarr | I want to be able to connect to my ubuntu pc from work - just in a remote control type thing | 23:24 |

| zvacet | rycole : what are you looking for | 23:24 |
| OlMightyGreek | hi guys.. need some help with my umts card. i got a connection with wvdial but i can not use it. how do i set ubuntu tu use this connection? | 23:24 |
| xip | mattywarr - there are variations of vnc for linux and windows | 23:24 |
| earthmeLon | mattywarr: If you need a graphical interface, you can do sudo apt-get install vnc4server OR you can just set up ssh and log in with a terminal. | 23:24 |
| Starnestommy | rycole: /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, and /usr/local/games | 23:24 |
| Jimmey | bent_, yeah, me too. I have a bcm43xx working at the moment, just trying to see if it will work okay with hardy! | 23:24 |
| rycole | zvacet: just need to know where to create a symlink so i can access something globally. | 23:24 |
| mattywarr | sure - i have vnc viewer installed ah i like the apt-get method :) thanks! | 23:24 |
| earthmeLon | Yup yup. there are a couple of options to install vncserver vnc4server and tightvncserver | 23:25 |
| bent_ | Jimmey: Well, ndiswrapper hates me in hardy right now, but I hear good things about the b43 firmware. | 23:25 |
| earthmeLon | Not sure which would be best for you mattywarr | 23:25 |
| Sorinello | hello | 23:25 |
| mattywarr | i'll try vnc4server and see how I get on with it - i use the windows equivilent a fair amount | 23:25 |
| Jimmey | bent_, do you have a bcm43xx? | 23:25 |
| === gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim | ||

| linkmaster03 | How can I run a program from terminal, and have it accessible for commands while the program is running? | 23:27 |
| Sorinello | i have a DFI motherboard with P35 chipset and Pnboard JMB363 IDE controller. I installed ubuntu 7.10 on a sata drive, and when i boot into ubuntu, i get loth os warnings.. i can login, but warnings apprea all the time. i know it's something related to KMB controller, but didn't find any solution, so i came here | 23:27 |
| DarkLordVenom | use an ampersand link | 23:27 |
| DarkLordVenom | like f-spot & | 23:27 |
| Starnestommy | linkmaster03: programname & | 23:27 |
| linkmaster03 | Thank you | 23:27 |
| mattywarr | ok, so i've installed it, but can't seem to find it under applications - does the service just run? | 23:27 |
| vad | why do i need to restart after i enable the ati proprietary driver? | 23:28 |
| Sorinello | if i disable the JMB controller it's fine, but i need the ATA drive too :( | 23:28 |
| xip | so - my monitor hates 8.04.. I threw in the install cd - selected install - starts to load the live environment - then my monitor says "Not Supported Mode" .. so I need to lower the resolution or something before I get to that step. | 23:28 |
| PedanticSteve | is there the equivalent of "tcp optimizer" for linux? similar to the windows program? | 23:28 |
| Starnestommy | vad: because it loads a kernel module on the next boot and loading that module while running may cause problems | 23:28 |
| valarie2 | Hello. I have an annoying problem. I'm running Feisty Fawn and whenever I click and drag and icon on my desktop to move it, it makes a (copy) of it O_o. Any thoughts? | 23:28 |
| bent_ | xip: There's a vga choice at start... I think it lets you choose resolution? | 23:29 |
| zvacet | xip : try alternate CD | 23:29 |
| xip | bent_: I'll double check that - but I didn't see one on 8.04 | 23:29 |
| earthmeLon | 194.5GB/250GB restored using dd. OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! | 23:29 |
| === basso_ is now known as basso | ||
| xip | zvacet: I had thought of that - but if I get it installed and I go to boot in to it - wont it auto detect my resolution incorrectly again? | 23:30 |
| zvacet | xip : If that happened you will correct it | 23:30 |
| xip | ah true I guess I can fail out of gui and fix it from there | 23:31 |
| zvacet | xip : and alternate don´t use graphic installer so thar can help you install | 23:31 |
| valarie2 | Is there any way to sort icons on your desktop other than "By Name"? | 23:31 |
| quittt | the new release is very near... | 23:32 |
| valarie2 | aye | 23:32 |
| xip | zvacet: the only way to do non graphic install is to get the other image then? :) would be nice if I had that option from the cd I already got | 23:32 |
| earthmeLon | quittt: I've never upgraded Ubuntu before. Is it normally a pretty seamless process? | 23:33 |
| quittt | yes, very easy | 23:33 |
| bazhang | earthmeLon: if you have dsl or above yes; dialup not so much | 23:33 |
| zvacet | xip : sorry only alternate have non graphic installer | 23:33 |
| PedanticSteve | anyone know if Ubuntu has a "tcp optimizer" program similar to the windows program? to set TCP settings and optimize them? | 23:33 |
| earthmeLon | bazhang: haha, yeah, it's not my connections I'm worried about. Just nuking my system and having to start over | 23:33 |
| xip | zvacet: ah I figured as much - thanks though | 23:33 |
| berekop | join /stubru | 23:34 |
| earthmeLon | PedanticSteve: I'm not sure. Are you having some sort of issue? | 23:34 |
| bazhang | earthmeLon: no need for that; just upgrade via the net and your /home is safe | 23:34 |
| vad | Starnestommy: is there a way that i do it without a restart? | 23:34 |
| zvacet | xip : and if you allready have ubuntu with alternae you can upgrade | 23:34 |
| Starnestommy | vad: I don't think so. Is there any particular reason why you need to avoid a restart? | 23:35 |
| PedanticSteve | earthmeLon: yes: see this thread on the forums... deals with slow network connectivity from Ubuntu- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=755101 | 23:35 |
| earthmeLon | PedanticSteve: seems the forums are being "maintained" :P | 23:35 |

| roxy123 | hello guys, i was just wondering what folders i need to backup to keep my email contacts... also is there other important things i need to save, as im about to reinstall ubuntu | 23:36 |
| kittykitty | there are so few reasons to need these fancy pants video card drivers, and if you're running linux to play games, you're probably used to restarting in windows, live with it :p | 23:36 |
| BD[work] | /bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off <<< any ideas on this message with a live cd? | 23:36 |
| zvacet | earthmeLon : time and patience is all you need | 23:36 |
| earthmeLon | roxy123: what email client are you using? | 23:37 |
| roxy123 | evolution | 23:37 |
| CJS3141 | If a program has the permissions: -rwsr-xr-x and the owner is root, since the setuid bit is set for root, won't the program be run as root no matter who runs it? | 23:37 |
| Starnestommy | BD[work]: it means that the livecd failed to work correctly | 23:37 |
| DarkWolf2008 | ok i am hated by ubuntu | 23:37 |
| earthmeLon | Aww, didnt work DarkWolf2008? | 23:37 |
| BD[work] | Starnestommy: fixes? | 23:37 |
| Starnestommy | CJS3141: yes, but the real uid will still be the user. The effective uid will be root. | 23:37 |
| roxy123 | earthmeLon: i need to reinstall ubuntu because grub is messed up and not even the grub disk works | 23:38 |
| earthmeLon | roxy123: do you have a folder in your home directory named .evolution? | 23:38 |
| b4l74z4r | hi, there seem to be a problem playing di.fm radio streams in banshee, regular streams work, but when i log in to get access to higher bitrate streams, they won't play and it says (missing) in the station title | 23:38 |
| roxy123 | maybe, i will look | 23:38 |
| boubbin | !dhcp | 23:38 |
| ubotu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 23:38 |
| CJS3141 | Starnestommy: Practically speaking then, what does that mean? When I run the program without sudo, it complains that it needs to be run as root. Isn't setting the s bit enough? | 23:39 |
| roxy123 | earthmeLon: i try to copy i"t,but i get the err "The folder "pop" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it. | 23:39 |
| roxy123 | im running in the liveCD right now | 23:39 |
| earthmeLon | Try using sudo mv BLAH BLAH | 23:39 |
| earthmeLon | actually | 23:39 |
| earthmeLon | sudo cp BLAH BLAH | 23:39 |
| Starnestommy | CJS3141: it might still require sudo because programs can tell if a non-root user is running it if it's setuid | 23:39 |
| Auctionedllama | !hardy | Auctionedllama | 23:40 |
| gouki | Hi! Anyone knows a open-source/free software backup solution with CDP? | 23:41 |
| earthmeLon | roxy123: have you tried fixing grub so that you can just boot into Ubuntu? | 23:41 |
| CJS3141 | Starnestommy: That seems lame... I thought that was the whole point of setting the s bit as root, so the program could be run as root without it complaining. :D Anyway around it other than have to still put a sudo in front of the command? | 23:41 |
| floating | omg ubuntuforums are down | 23:41 |
| roxy123 | earthmeLon: i have tried as much as i can, but the tutorial that ubotu gave didnt work... or maybe im doeing something wrong | 23:42 |
| earthmeLon | CJS3141: sudo -s | 23:42 |
| Starnestommy | CJS3141: rewrite and recompile the program to not check for root permissions | 23:42 |
| Starnestommy | NOT sudo -s | 23:42 |
| dacresni | is there any way to install packages as non admin? especially if you only want them for yourself | 23:42 |

| === ijustam_ is now known as ijustam | ||
| dacresni | hmm, there needs to be a solution for this. I'm being spoiled by mac | 23:43 |
| ijustam | so, i use optical audio... /dev/dsp neither /dev/adsp provide sound output. | 23:44 |
| ijustam | am i screwed for recording audio? | 23:44 |
| roxy123 | earthmeLon: do you think you can hold my hand getting grub working? | 23:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dacresni, there's no need for a "solution" for a problem that doesn't exist. | 23:44 |
| zvacet | dacresni : by default you have user with admin rights use thar account | 23:44 |
| dacresni | ... | 23:44 |
| CJS3141 | Starnestommy: OK, but why would a program insist on the user being root? Why would it care as long as the effective user is root? | 23:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu isn't a mac | 23:44 |
| roxy123 | im a noobie | 23:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | don't expect it to behave like one just because you think it should | 23:44 |
| dacresni | i know | 23:44 |
| Starnestommy | CJS3141: probably because setuid can be very insecure sometimes | 23:44 |

| CJS3141 | Starnestommy: Yes, I agree that it can, but I thought that one assumed that risk when setting the "s" bit, but I see I misunderstood. Would you happen to know the best way I can run a particular command on startup that requires sudo then? I tried putting into "Sessions" but it didn't work. | 23:47 |
| Pici | !ask | name10135 | 23:47 |
| dacresni | the program must go through debian stuff and install severall libraries but I am the only user who wants it, , so i should have a folders that mimics the /bin, /usr/share /lib, and /libexec | 23:47 |
| ubotu | name10135: 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. :-) | 23:47 |

| dmsuperman | How can I run a command (like Alt + F2) only it will show the terminal as it runs? Without opening a terminal? Basically, like in windows if you go to start, run, and type a commandline command it will show the command prompt only as long as it's running | 23:54 |
| icesword | helllllooo | 23:55 |
| earthmeLon | dmsuperman: What? | 23:55 |
| Waffle | dmsuperman, Why not bind keys to open the terminal? | 23:55 |
| earthmeLon | dmsuperman: Do you want the terminal to be opened or not, lol? | 23:55 |
| name10135 | bazhang: Via "Guided - resisze SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1....." That option will not destroy the windows partition? | 23:55 |
| CJS3141 | Pici: OK, now I see why you are asking. :-) Thanks for the ircbot info on booting. I'll read it and give it a try. :) | 23:55 |
| Auctionedllama | starnestommy? | 23:55 |
| zvacet | name10135 : when you choose manual you will see all your partiitons.Don´t touch ntfs.It is windows.You must have some free space to install | 23:56 |
| dmsuperman | earthmeLon, I want to execute a command, that runs in the terminal, but when it's done the terminal automatically closes | 23:56 |
| bazhang | name10135: what do you mean install guided will destroy the windows partition; that does not sound right | 23:56 |
| DarkWolf2008 | ahhhhh | 23:56 |
| Starnestommy | Auctionedllama: find out which uuid belongs to your root partition | 23:56 |
| dmsuperman | earthmeLon, so I don't have to keep cleaning up my terminal windows :P | 23:56 |
| earthmeLon | Oh, dmsuperman, then create a bash script | 23:56 |
| DarkWolf2008 | we may have progress | 23:56 |

| dmsuperman | earthmeLon, no, any command, nothing static | 23:56 |
| Starnestommy | what exactly needs to be done with it is somthing that I'm not sure about | 23:56 |
| Auctionedllama | ok.. Uhm.. my root as in where my Ubuntu is installed or where windows is installed? | 23:56 |
| Starnestommy | Auctionedllama: ubuntu | 23:56 |
| Auctionedllama | ok.. I have it... now what? | 23:56 |
| tsb_ | Hello. I noticed I have -386 and -generic packages installed. I looked in apt and also found linux-686 but it sais "dummy package". So I'm a bit unsure which package to use for my intel core 2 duo system. | 23:57 |
| Auctionedllama | do you want to see my menu.lst and my fstab and tell me what to edit? | 23:57 |
| bazhang | name10135: the guided can simply resize your windows partition, not destroy it | 23:57 |
| crdlb | tsb_: linux-generic is what you should be using | 23:57 |
| name10135 | zvacet: I tried that with guidance on this channel, but the install failed, and then windows was no longer able to boot. | 23:57 |
| tsb_ | crdlb: okay thank you, that is what I am using actually. | 23:57 |
| icesword | bazhang, good morning, zao shang hao!!! | 23:57 |

| dmsuperman | earthmeLon, say for instance I want to run nvidia-settings normally I have to make a new terminal windows (or as you suggest make a bash script for it) but I just want to be able to put a command it, have it run, then when it's done running the window closes | 23:58 |
| Auctionedllama | starnestommy? | 23:58 |
| John_ | is there a photoshop/graphic design channel | 23:58 |
| John_ | ? | 23:58 |
| dovlaz | does anyone know what divers will 8.04 support off the cd for broadcom wireless? (xps 1330)?? | 23:58 |
| dmsuperman | John_, are you having issues with Photoshop in general? or with running it in wine? | 23:58 |
| altf2o | Just wondering if anyone knows of a media player that can play iTunes DRM protected files? I'm on Hardy 8.04 64bit. I've tried all the media players i can find to install non work. Closest is VLC which appears to start playing the file, but no sound comes out. | 23:58 |
| John_ | photoshop in general i'm afraid :P | 23:58 |
| Starnestommy | Auctionedllama: I don't really know anythiung about menu.lst or fstab with uuids | 23:58 |
| bazhang | !irc | John_ check the channel list link at the bottom | 23:58 |
| ubotu | John_ check the channel list link at the bottom: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 23:58 |
| Auctionedllama | man, ok thanks | 23:58 |
| elmer | huh, the forums are offline | 23:58 |
| geminidomino | Mysql/PHP question: I have a php app that is insisting on trying to connect to mysql through /tmp/mysql.lock. I have edited /etc/mysql/*.cnf, and phpMyadmin works fine on the same machine. Mysql CLI client also wants to look at /tmp/mysql.lock. Any ideas what I am missing? | 23:58 |
| dmsuperman | John_, private message me I'm pretty familiar with it, i may be of some help | 23:59 |
| Waffle | altf2o, if it is DRM protected then you will probably need iTunes to play it | 23:59 |
| John_ | Sweet, cheers dmsuperman :] | 23:59 |
| CJS3141 | Pici: So if I want to run the command as root at bootup, would I put it in the /etc/rc.local file? And does it require a "sudo" in front or is that script run as root? | 23:59 |
| === John_ is now known as J_o_h_n | ||
| Waffle | Unless you strip the DRM off the file, but that could be illegal, not sure about the laws | 23:59 |
| bazhang | altf2o: need to re-rip in iTunes as mp3 | 23:59 |
| Pici | CJS3141: No sudo required, everything in there runs as root | 23:59 |
| zvacet | name10135: it is so rare to alternate CD install failed.Boot windows Cd and type fixmbr | 23:59 |
| bitsbam | how do i change my time in xubuntu | 23:59 |
| bitsbam | ? | 23:59 |
| altf2o | Waffle: yeah, i was hoping to be able to just play 'em. | 23:59 |
| CJS3141 | Pici: OK, so is that where I should put the command and give it a try? | 23:59 |
