| icesword | rainwalker, hmm, any other OS on that harddisk? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| rainwalker | icesword: feisty | 00:00 |
| laeg | bjstick: a ubuntu had me install xfree for wine | 00:00 |
| laeg | bjstick: idk if that means i use it all the time or what | 00:00 |
| CyberGabber | Nis2k:enter the word sudo before that.,( sudo ......) | 00:00 |
| shoot^ | ARGH, Laptop + ATI + Hardy issues are slowly driving me mad | 00:01 |
| bjstick | Ubuntu uses xorg, not sure why it would need xfree. Xfree is deprecated. | 00:01 |
| Nis2k | CyberGabber: i did sudo su before | 00:01 |
| patifa | Hi all, alexr's sound codecs aren't working. So basically the sound tests work, and so does VLC, but everything that uses system libraries to decode and play sound don't work worth a darn. Any ideas? | 00:01 |
| icesword | rainwalker, no windows? have you formatted all partitions? | 00:01 |
| CyberGabber | Nis2k: No, only sudo, not su | 00:01 |
| jaffarkelshac | MedO42, did the xorg editing work? | 00:01 |
| rainwalker | icesword: it was a full install of feisty, no windows | 00:01 |
| Hydrogen | Xfree is more than deprected, xfree is dead. | 00:01 |
| level1 | bjstick: it says I dont have the latest version, but I do have it | 00:01 |
| Knight488 | shoot^: Whats wrong? I have an ATI Xpress200 on a laptop and mine is working okay | 00:01 |
| Nis2k | CyberGabber: do you know what sudo su is for? | 00:01 |
| level1 | bjstick: nevertheless, theres no way to force this site to pretend I have applets | 00:01 |
| bjstick | level1: how did you install java? | 00:01 |
| level1 | bjstick: repos | 00:02 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: yes, I already PMed you that, maybe you did not receive it for some reason. | 00:02 |
| CyberGabber | Nis2k: sudo = become root for 1 command, su switch user | 00:02 |
| shoot^ | Knight488: the logon screen borks and xorg crashes unless running vesa drivers at 800x600 | 00:02 |
| Ubuntong | Will Ubuntu take advantage of a quad core processor? | 00:02 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: I did some more tests and I think the issue really is gone for me now. I used nvidia-settings to set my refresh rate and resolution and let it write those settings to the xorg.conf. | 00:02 |
| John_S | Rigonn: OK, first shut down the program, go to System > Admin > System Monitor, click on the processes tab, and look thru the list and make sure the program isn't still running. If it is, right-click it, and select kill. Then you should be able to uninstall it from the Wine menu like I mentioned earlier. | 00:02 |
| bjstick | level1: if you type java in console, does it return anything | 00:02 |
| Fishscene | Ubuntong: Defenitely | 00:02 |
| patifa | Ubuntong: yes | 00:02 |
| Ubuntong | Thanks | 00:02 |
| Nis2k | CyberGabber: sudo su turns you into root so you dont have to type sudo anymore | 00:02 |
| spork969 | you can right click on the desktop and hit clean up by name, but is there any other way to do "clean up" like clean up by type or date? | 00:02 |
| icesword | rainwalker, when you choose partitions, you cannot mount feisty's partitions, umount them, and format them, and then install, i am off to eat, others can help you too, bbl | 00:02 |
| jaffarkelshac | my refresh rate is stuck and cant be changed MedO42, i never seem to get pm i am using x chat | 00:03 |
| laeg | bjstick: what i mean was an ubuntu guide for warcraft installer under wine had me install it, maybe it was just the fonts brb | 00:03 |
| level1 | bjstick: yeah, I develop on java regularly | 00:03 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: do you use an nvidia card? | 00:03 |
| patifa | Though, disclaimer Ubuntong, ultimate full utilization of multicore processors lies within individual applications. | 00:03 |
| bjstick | level1: perhaps you have the SDK but not the JRE? im not sure. or it could be a path issue | 00:03 |
| Knight488 | shoot^: did you try to download and install the drivers from ATI's site? I was having accelerated graphics problems and after doing that they got sorted | 00:03 |
| level1 | bjstick: not possible | 00:03 |
| bjstick | is it only firefox that has the problem? | 00:04 |
| yuri_ | is there a way to create command line shortcuts such as "sudo apt-get install" > "sagi" ? | 00:04 |
| jaffarkelshac | i do, 7300gt MedO42 | 00:04 |
| level1 | bjstick: how could java applets work on some sites but not others | 00:04 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: yes | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | looks like the only thing i need to get back to where i was is getting these drives renamed | 00:04 |
| shoot^ | Knight488: haven't done yet. You use Envy? | 00:04 |
| belor1 | Ubuntu 8.04, No sound working | 00:04 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: in a texteditor, open the file ~/.bashrc | 00:04 |
| Rigonn | John_S: Great... I ended process and it's still there... | 00:04 |
| bjstick | level1: you said java didnt even show up in your plugins, so they shouldnt work on any site | 00:04 |
| CyberGabber | yuri_: alias | 00:04 |
| adrian_2002ca | hi all, can I install awn on a computer which doesnt run compiz(SiS video card) | 00:04 |
| jaybombus | Halp: Highest screen res is 640x480. Starting to get annoying to maneuver around. | 00:04 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: scroll down till you see the part about aliases, which provides examples | 00:04 |
| level1 | bjstick: I dont have java, I have gcj | 00:04 |
| yuri_ | blahblahx: ok looking | 00:05 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: then add the ones you want at the bottom of the file | 00:05 |
| bjstick | level1: i have no idea what that is ;) | 00:05 |
| Knight488 | shoot^: no, sec | 00:05 |
| John_S | bjstick: are you looking for the "alias" command? | 00:05 |
| Nis2k | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my system crashes just before i log in.. any advices? | 00:05 |
| Nis2k | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my system crashes just before i log in.. any advices? | 00:05 |
| sumisr | i am using an amd64 hardy heron iso image--is this appropriate for my core duo dell laptop? | 00:05 |
| jbroome__ | sumisr: how much ram do you have? | 00:05 |
| sumisr | or should I be using a 32bit image? | 00:06 |
| ibleed | sumisr, getting flash and java to work is easier and trouble free in the 32 bit version | 00:06 |
| sumisr | I have 2GB | 00:06 |
| jbroome__ | sumisr: use 32bit | 00:06 |
| blahblahx | sumisr: unless you have more than 4gb RAM, go with 32 | 00:06 |
| John_S | Rigonn: You selected "kill process" and it didn't work? | 00:06 |
| sumisr | ouch-will have to redownload | 00:06 |
| jbroome__ | if you have to ask, then use 32bit | 00:06 |
| patifa | yeah unless you plan on doing massive number crunching operations, you won't need 64bit with only 2 GB of RAM. | 00:06 |
| blahblahx | sumisr: 32 is more compatible with software, but can't utilize more than 4GB RAM without recompiling the kernel | 00:06 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: Backup your xorg.conf. Then install the nvidia-settings package, start "sudo nvidia-settings". Choose the correct config in "X server display configuration" and hit "save to X Configuration file". | 00:06 |
| Ubuntong | patifa: Do you think a quad is a waste of money? | 00:06 |
| orudie | how can i restart X ? | 00:06 |
| wilsonfrisk | hey why did i get firefox 3 beta 5 by default? who's idea was this? | 00:07 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: everything going okay with the aliases? | 00:07 |
| jbroome__ | orudie: ctrl-alt-del | 00:07 |
| jbroome__ | err, -bakspace | 00:07 |
| marcusrussi_ | orudie: control alt backspace | 00:07 |
| level1 | jbroome__: dont say things like that, no one can every get smarter if they just say things like that | 00:07 |
| CyberGabber | yuri_: In terminal enter: alias sagi='sudo apt-get install' | 00:07 |
| Adys | is it possible to toggle between metacity and compiz in a single command? | 00:07 |
| yuri_ | blahblahx: let you know in a sec | 00:07 |
| Rigonn | John_S: Well bottom right corner... End Process, yes | 00:07 |
| ibleed | still who needs more then 4GB ? 2GB here and i dont run out of memory | 00:07 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: ok | 00:07 |
| Adys | like say, if compiz is active metacity --replace else compiz --replace | 00:07 |
| blahblahx | ibleed: if you want to do heavy work, or a server | 00:07 |
| jbroome__ | ibleed: i have 4gb, and i run a bunch of VMs | 00:07 |
| level1 | does anyone know how to replace gcj with sun java as the default for java applets in firefox? | 00:07 |
| wilsonfrisk | seriously guys, why would a beta be a default? | 00:07 |
| belor1 | Ubuntu 8.04, JKust Upgraded No sound working | 00:07 |
| yuri_ | blahblahx: perfect. thank you! | 00:08 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: Doing that broke my xorg.conf on first try, so better back it up. | 00:08 |
| ketamin[e] | who here is using pidgin? | 00:08 |
| Cadadon | me | 00:08 |
| marcusrussi_ | beloral:what sound card do you have | 00:08 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have the nvidia-settings installed, and there was no option to change refresh rate, let me try sudo with it MedO42 | 00:08 |
| blahblahx | wilsonfrisk: not a great choice for a LTS, but firefox beta is pretty stable | 00:08 |
| blahblahx | yuri_: your welcome | 00:08 |
| John_S | Rigonn: should use "kill process" instead of "end process"--don't you have that option? | 00:08 |
| fdkrew | anyone hare have metasloit fully working need help please | 00:08 |
| Cadadon | what's wrong with pidgin ketamin[e] ? | 00:08 |
| ketamin[e] | when you get a message, Cadadon, not your first message though, does it blink in the taskbar? | 00:08 |
| jaffarkelshac | oh dont worry, i have backups MedO42 | 00:08 |
| wilsonfrisk | blahblahx: not really my friend. it is giving me the business. | 00:08 |
| Farnaby | keatmin[e] I am | 00:08 |
| fdkrew | anyone hare have metasploit fully working need help please | 00:08 |
| elb | ketamin[e]: you need to look at the message notification plugin preferences | 00:08 |
| Rigonn | John_S: Yep found it but the program is not there tho | 00:08 |
| Cadadon | no, there's a plugin you can change | 00:09 |
| Nis2k | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my system crashes just before i log in.. any advices? | 00:09 |
| patifa | Ubuntong: In my personal opinion, yes. The way things are right now, two CPU cores are quite nice, but it seems like the 4 aren't yet utilized to their fullest capability. Programmers have made applications for single core systems for 30+ years, they're still struggling with getting the parallelism going well. | 00:09 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: It's in the "X server Display Configuration" tab, but you have to select a fixed resolution, otherwise you can't select a refresh rate. | 00:09 |
| === Bebe_` is now known as Bebe_Cybering | ||
| ketamin[e] | elb: i remember it would blink in the taskbar and awn as well. but not it doesnt...(new install) | 00:09 |
| wilsonfrisk | I am in kde so I am going to use konquerer out of spite, but can linux be botnetted? | 00:09 |
| Cadadon | ketamin[e], > Tools > Plugins > Message Notification. Enable it, then configure it. | 00:09 |
| John_S | Rigonn: Good--if the program isn't there, you successfully killed it. Can you do an uninstall thru Wine now? | 00:09 |
| elb | ketamin[e]: yes, and I told you where to configure that | 00:09 |
| marcusrussi_ | wilsonfrisk: no, its too secure | 00:10 |
| orudie | can someone help me with my nvidia settings? | 00:10 |
| marcusrussi_ | what card do you have | 00:10 |
| orudie | trying to configure as dual view for my 2 monitors | 00:10 |
| Farnaby | Can anybody help me with automounting a memory stick? | 00:10 |
| marcusrussi_ | oh | 00:10 |
| Nis2k | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my system crashes just before i log in.. any advices? | 00:10 |
| marcusrussi_ | u mean twinview? | 00:10 |
| === needTOS is now known as needTOS1 | ||
| cheshirekow | Does anyone in here know anything about USB driver development? | 00:10 |
| patifa | but, Ubuntong, the 4 cores might do you good if you're doing a lot of video work, though I could see it being that cost beneficial, yet. | 00:10 |
| foxhop | Nis2k: at splash screen? | 00:10 |
| orudie | marcusrussi_, dualview as in 2 separate screens with 2 different resolutions | 00:11 |
| mothermayi | Nis2k: at the loading screen? | 00:11 |
| Rigonn | John_S: I select it hit uninstall and the windows comes up... and after a few second it says Finish... once I hit finish the Name is still there... | 00:11 |
| ibleed | wilsonfrisk you mean can people run a bot net in a linux computer? i dont see why not though they would likely need superuser privillege to do so, you'd be best to not use things like sshd without a very secure password | 00:11 |
| Nis2k | foxhop: no, just after i log in | 00:11 |
| MilitantPotato | patifa: 4 cores costs the same as 2 cores | 00:11 |
| wilsonfrisk | marcusrussi: so I can use konqueror without blocking flash and activex and not worry about getting raeped? | 00:11 |
| Knight488 | shoot^: sorry didn't bookmark and had to flip through history. I used this site http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide and followed Method 1 | 00:11 |
| photo1 | sorry i was away...i am going to test with sound to find out exactly what the problem is | 00:11 |
| marcusrussi_ | orudie: i think theres a tutorial in the forums about twinview, but i don't know abuot different resulutions | 00:11 |
| Nis2k | mothermayi: just after i log in it crashes | 00:11 |
| patifa | 4 slower cores at the same price as 2 cores, maybe. | 00:11 |
| btakita | \join #git | 00:11 |
| marcusrussi_ | orudie:have you plugged them in and seen what happened? | 00:11 |
| John_S | Rigonn: What do you mean the name is still there--in the uninstall program, or in the Wine Programs menu? | 00:11 |
| patifa | The problem is that some dumb apps still don't make good on those 4 cores, yet. | 00:12 |
| sumisr | ok thanks--downloading i386 image | 00:12 |
| mothermayi | any xorg.conf gods in here that fancy lending me a hand quickly? :) | 00:12 |
| shoot^ | Knight488: will have a read... thanks so much :) | 00:12 |
| Nis2k | mothermayi: and last time i actually got into ubuntu and it crashed it was 17:31 and theres nothing at 17:31 in the log | 00:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well, the forums are effin' useless | 00:12 |
| marcusrussi_ | do any apps in linux use 4 cores? | 00:12 |
| orudie | marcusrussi_, for some when i set it to twinview it makes is so that my desktop is streched to 2 screens | 00:12 |
| wilsonfrisk | ibleed: yes, i know it is theoretically possible, i am just wondering if i am going to casually pick up AIDS on the interwebs as one tends to do in wondows | 00:12 |
| patifa | marcusrussi_: I wouldn't doubt it. | 00:12 |
| MilitantPotato | patifa: the difference is about 5%, the longevity of having 4 cores more then makes up for it. | 00:12 |
| ibleed | wilsonfrisk, if your worried about malicious websites you should give firefox 3 beta 5 a twirl. it if i'm not mistaken gets updates like every 30 minutes that keep it more hacker safe than others. swiftfox is a firefox alternative built for speed | 00:12 |
| genii | Daisuke_Ido: Please state the nature of your Ubuntu emergency please | 00:12 |
| orudie | marcusrussi_, and i want them to be separate, in windows its called a dualview | 00:12 |
| Rigonn | John_S: in the Wine program it's still there and 2 desktop icons are still there.... | 00:12 |
| skrag | dumb question: does unbutu have SELinux and if so how do i turn it off? | 00:13 |
| photo1 | ok here is the problem..i could play different sounds at the same time i tested that | 00:13 |
| Nis2k | awwww plz help ive been looking for help the last hour plz help!! | 00:13 |
| photo1 | but i can't play mp3 plus flash videos at the same time..and hear them both | 00:13 |
| marcusrussi_ | orudie:yeah i know, im not really sure how to do that | 00:13 |
| Rigonn | John_S: after I hit uninstall it stays there... | 00:13 |
| mothermayi | could anybody recommend me a good lightweight mp3 player? | 00:13 |
| patifa | nis2k Do you make it to the graphical login screen? | 00:13 |
| Knight488 | shoot^: just was looking, might not help since thats about fglrx. Might try the install help on the ATI site too https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat84-inst.html | 00:13 |
| jaffarkelshac | MedO42, there is only auto and 50, dont worry about it i will do it later after some sleep. | 00:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | okay, i ahve four hard drives, most of them similar sizes. they're showing on the desktop and in Nautilus's sidebar as "500.1 GB Media" and things of that type. this is not useful. is there a setting to make them actually display the mount-point name or the label of the partition? | 00:13 |
| Nis2k | patifa: no | 00:13 |
| Glover | Say, anyone know how I'd go about clearing the icon cache? | 00:13 |
| Ubuntong | patifa: I can get a dual a lot cheaper than a quad. | 00:13 |
| wilsonfrisk | ibleed: lol. this is the whole issue. I was just auto-upgraded to ff3b5 and it is giving me hell on several different fronts. I am now thinking of using kde's browser, but worried I will get AIDS | 00:13 |
| Nis2k | patifa: it freezes just before i get into graphical | 00:13 |
| mothermayi | orudie: check your dialogs | 00:13 |
| astro76 | Daisuke_Ido: it will display the disk label if one is set | 00:13 |
| ibleed | skrag, ubuntu has something similar to SELinux i think though i dont remember the name. | 00:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | astro76, nope, it isn't. | 00:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i wish | 00:14 |
| marcusrussi_ | orudie: do u mean dualview as in that product thingy? | 00:14 |
| photo1 | if somone could convo me please | 00:14 |
| cheshirekow | I'm looking for some help on writing a VERY simple USB driver for linux. Can anyone PM me to help me get started? Just pointing me to some webpages would be helpeful | 00:14 |
| astro76 | Daisuke_Ido: or partition label rather... strange, does here for an ntfs partition | 00:14 |
| ibleed | wilsonfrisk, all i can say as i'm sorry you have to endure hell. i dont know konquerer very well | 00:14 |
| MedO42 | jaffarkelshac: For me there's only auto and 60, so maybe 50 is your LCDs native refresh rate? | 00:14 |
| myo | hi again, ever since upgrade, my theme won't apply to all windows. Seems to be kind of random where it works. It's in gnome-theme-extras and is called 'darklooks'. Should be compatible... | 00:14 |

| ketamin[e] | elb caldadon: thanks. and elb. that just made the icon tray blink, not the task bar thing | 00:14 |

| Daisuke_Ido | astro76, these are either ext2 or 3 | 00:15 |

| photo1 | i would think there is a restriction between restricted content to play at the same time? am i correct? | 00:16 |
| patifa | Nis2k: I'd be using GRUB to turn off the 'splash' and 'quiet' options for startup. Then seeing what error happens in the text that flies by during startup, and working off that. | 00:16 |
| myo | ibleed, Glover it's weird... it works for a little while if I change themes and then go back.. but the next time I open a program it doesn' t apply | 00:16 |

| adrian_2002ca | can anyone help: what's a very lightweight composition manager i can use with bad cards like SiS? | 00:16 |
| HetaUma | marcusrussi_, I installed proftpd and choose to run from inetd but it doesn't run | 00:16 |
| patifa | See if you can use that to get someone else to help you find the error, if the errors even in the kernel startup. | 00:16 |
| cheshirekow | \quit | 00:16 |
| marcusrussi_ | HetaUma:try gproftpd | 00:16 |

| wilsonfrisk | ibleed: okay i would not recommend using 3 until official release. it is a bit rough. i think i will just downgrade, rather than try to switch browsers out of spite. still, ubuntu should not have a beta as a default. this is madness. | 00:17 |

| Adys | unop, thought so but i dont know shell syntax :/ | 00:26 |

| Nis2k | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my system crashes just before i log in.. any advices? | 00:26 |
| wilsonfrisk | DO NOT USE FF3B5! IT IS A TRAP! | 00:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wilsonfrisk, that was uncalled for. | 00:27 |
| John_S | Rigonn: Then it didn't uninstall then... you should probably ask for help in #winehq at this point, because I could tell you to delete the program files, but that won't clean up the registry or uninstall it nicely. | 00:27 |
| level1 | If I use a symbolic link to put the sun java applet plugin into my mozilla plugins directory, firefox crashes everytime it uses an applet | 00:27 |

| orudie | marcusrussi_, i installed wine and steam and CSS and the FPS in CSS are really bad like 40 fps | 00:27 |
| Nis2k | is there any way to turn restriced drivers off from terminal? | 00:27 |
| marcusrussi_ | orudie:yeah but it's going through wine so you can probably expect it to be slower | 00:28 |
| sanyassin | why is audio out volume much louder in vista than hardy | 00:28 |
| hendrix | ima tu hrvata? | 00:28 |
| unop | Adys, i don't use gnome or metacity or compiz so this is purely guesswork, but i'm sure you can extrapolate. grep -iq "metacity" < <(ps aux) && compiz --replace || metacity --replace | 00:28 |
| wilsonfrisk | marcusrussi_, are you trolling? Or maybe there is something wrong with me. It just keeps crashing, and won't open files when I download them | 00:28 |
| hendrix | očito ne | 00:28 |

| marcusrussi_ | McJester: which did you download? there are different architextures | 00:33 |
| marcusrussi_ | McJester: i dont think PPC is supported anymore | 00:33 |
| ibleed | thompa, i think sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop would do the trick. be sure you have something to fall back on | 00:33 |
| sacul | sanyassin can't help you there.. simple integrated sound card for me | 00:33 |

| photo1 | do i have to use the prompt to run it/ | 00:48 |
| photo1 | ? | 00:48 |
| drivetrax | note: the feature plugins in 8.04 in the CCSM might not work.. some of them.. in Gutsy, or they might be unstable | 00:48 |
| astro76 | photo1: yes but what are you trying to install? | 00:48 |
| kitche | photo1: how are you trying to install it? since it's a shell script you need to do chmod +x <file.sh> ./<file>.sh | 00:48 |
| drivetrax | prettyricky, get help from the compiz chat room | 00:48 |
| photo1 | trying to install vendetta | 00:48 |
| lowlux | how do i get compiz to do that cube block thing? | 00:49 |
| prettyricky | great thanks | 00:49 |
| lowlux | the 3d cube? | 00:49 |
| drivetrax | was told.. 3d windows was not a plugin in gutsy.. but is on their compz wiki as a featured plugin, because.. it is not working in gutsy | 00:49 |
| MrKeishii | how do you install a GDM theme? | 00:49 |
| ACubed | hi everyone | 00:49 |
| gopper | hi | 00:50 |
| annodomini | In case anyone is interested, after some further debugging, it tuns out that I only have issues with resuming if I suspended by closing the lid; any other way of suspending and the computer resumes just fine. | 00:50 |
| MrKeishii | how do you install a GDM theme? | 00:50 |
| ACubed | how is everyone | 00:50 |
| deathmask | ez, i installed 8.04 on a box prior running 7.10 for many months (without complains) and now with the new compiz my windows won't show any shadows anymore (all other compiz fx work pretty goodd), also i'm not able to enable them by tweaking settings in ccsm... did anyone have the same issue maybe? | 00:50 |
| ACubed | mrkeishii google | 00:50 |
| astro76 | annodomini: did you change the setting to suspend on lid close yourself? because the default is blank screen? sorry if I'm stating the obvious | 00:51 |
| laeg | !iso | 00:51 |
| ubot5 | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 00:51 |
| Shadow_X | i get a fatal error: "impossible to install package: ubuntu-desktop. please report this as a bug" while trying to upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10. any suggestions? | 00:51 |
| shoot^ | getting to the point right now where vista is looking attractive... Hardy + ATI = :'( | 00:51 |
| annodomini | astro76: I changed no settings that I can recall; unless it was a long time ago. | 00:51 |
| lakotajames | I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10, now flash doesn't work. | 00:51 |
| * Shadow_X slaps shoot^. SNAP OUT OF IT MAN!!! | 00:51 | |
| annodomini | Suspend on lid closing worked just fine in Gutsy and before. | 00:51 |
| Farnaby | unop I think I am missing something here... not sure how the udev would automount it but then again you said it is tricky | 00:51 |
| lakotajames | help? | 00:51 |
| astro76 | annodomini: check system > prefs > power management, the default is actually blank screen | 00:52 |
| nickrud | Shadow_X, report it as a bug? | 00:52 |
| MrKeishii | nvm i got it | 00:52 |
| drivetrax | Failed to execute child process "amdcccle" (No such file or directory) | 00:52 |
| fevel | my sound is really low, even when its on loudest | 00:52 |
| nickrud | Shadow_X, and maybe remove some 3d party stuff, that's the biggest cause of broken packages. | 00:52 |
| fevel | I am using alsa | 00:52 |
| annodomini | astro76: Yes, I have suspend set, but that's what I want. | 00:52 |
| deathmask | fevel: check the whole chain (master, pcm, wave) | 00:52 |
| astro76 | annodomini: oh ok... still interesting | 00:53 |
| lakotajames | how do i fix flash? | 00:53 |
| drivetrax | Yeah.. because I got rid of it, and ATI left their Catalyst control center item on my Menu list | 00:53 |
| deathmask | fevel: if one of those 3 is low you won't be able to put it higher than this | 00:53 |
| fevel | deathmask, how? | 00:53 |
| deathmask | fevel: uh, any mixer app... :) | 00:53 |
| annodomini | I don't see why suspend on lid closed should do anything different than suspend on suspend key or the power button. | 00:53 |
| fevel | got it | 00:53 |
| deathmask | fevel: i'm not sure if alsamixer will still work with the new sound thing... | 00:53 |
| corq-FL | after an update, Firefox 3 was installed on Hardy; I still have firefox *2* installed (and you like to keep it) but suddenly now my add-ons are all disabled, citing they are incompatible with firefox 3...I have attempted de-installing FF3, but trying to install the add-ons now creates errors in FF2. Is there a link or known remedy? | 00:53 |
| lakotajames | flash stopped working... how do i fix it? i just upgraded from 7.10. | 00:53 |
| deathmask | fevel: but if it does, try aptitude install alsamixer and run it | 00:53 |
| corq-FL | would like to keep it, rather | 00:53 |
| fevel | thanks deathmask pcm was a little lower? | 00:54 |
| QuadForce | can someone give me some guidance? ... I have 8.04 installed.. by default I am able to get my LCD's full res of 1920x1080.. Of course I am trying to enable advanced desktop effects, but when I enable restricted driver I am unable to get the full screen resolution... I've tried everything I can think of.. I believe it is the lcd i'm using as I can plug in another lcd and it works fine autodetecting it... my LCd is lvm-37w3... so a | 00:54 |
| QuadForce | nyone know what I should do? | 00:54 |
| fevel | deathmask, maybe I can tweak to get even higher volume? | 00:54 |
| deathmask | fevel: think so... | 00:54 |
| gnomefreak | lakotajames: define stopped working | 00:54 |
| photo1 | chmod +x ./vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh but...i didn't see anything apear | 00:54 |
| drivetrax | quaddi, -- what video card? | 00:54 |
| QuadForce | 8800GT | 00:55 |
| deathmask | fevel: well i won't recommend that, on most sound drivers under linux you are able to put it higher than "maximal" values under windows, which will result in distorting signals, nevermind what comes behind your soundcard | 00:55 |
| deathmask | fevel: so if you wanna make it louder use your amplifier :) | 00:55 |
| simonft2 | I was having trouble with wireless, and somebody here told me to compile a Kernal, but im not sure which to compile. | 00:55 |
| gnomefreak | lakotajames: check if flashplugin-nonfree is installed is this a clean install or upgrade does locate libflashsupport.so find anything? | 00:55 |
| deathmask | fevel: so you won't get distortions | 00:55 |
| lowlux | how do i get the 3D UBE TO WORK? | 00:55 |

| lakotajames | gnomefreak: speedtest.net gives error: Speedtest.net requires at least version 7 of Flash. Please update your client. | 00:55 |
| lakotajames | If you have version 7 or newer installed but are still getting this message, then make sure you have JavaScript enabled. We use the very popular JavaScript package SWFObject to detect your Flash version. If you are certain that JavaScript is enabled, then there could be an error in your Flash installation.

| drivetrax | QuadForce, -- what does /etc/X11/xorg.conf tell you, devices are? | 00:55 |
| deathmask | kindofabuzz: sudo aptitude install kde | 00:56 |
| lowlux | i have that... but that 3d box cube is not there? | 00:56 |
| astro76 | annodomini: my guess would be the problem has nothing to do with suspend, but something with the ACPI lid switch mechanism | 00:56 |
| deathmask | boh :) | 00:56 |
| photo1 | try playing an mp3 file | 00:56 |
| deathmask | not | 00:56 |
| photo1 | it will recommend an mp3 package to help make it work | 00:56 |
| eduardo | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my computer crashes just after i log in. Then I did ctrl+alt+f1 just before it crashes, and its not a normal crash, is kernel panic, can anyone help? PLEASE | 00:56 |
| gnomefreak | lakotajames: it might be that site | 00:56 |
| Sake | photo1, Tried it. It gives me a codec error | 00:56 |
| deathmask | not easy to keep look on the chatflow here, just too much :) | 00:56 |
| annodomini | astro76: Possibly. It is waking up, I can ssh to it after opening the lid, but the screen just never turns on. | 00:56 |
| kindofabuzz | deathmask: kde or kde4? | 00:56 |
| lakotajames | gnomefreak: no. | 00:56 |
| photo1 | hold on let me give you the package name | 00:56 |
| deathmask | kindofabuzz: i think it will still feature kde3.x | 00:56 |
| Sake | and is there a good winamp-like mp3 player? Possibly one that integrates into the top menu in gnome? | 00:57 |
| deathmask | kindofabuzz: but not sure | 00:57 |
| fevel | deathmask, what do you man amplifiers? Bigger sound device? | 00:57 |
| drivetrax | QuadForce, don't paste.. just say | 00:57 |
| deathmask | kindofabuzz: i just know "kde" is a meta package which install kde with sum appz | 00:57 |
| Sergeant_Pony | anyone having a problem with compiz manager after the final upgrade to 8.04? mine is fubard....can't access it or anything without messing up my screens | 00:57 |
| kindofabuzz | well there is a kde4 in repos | 00:57 |
| astro76 | annodomini: oh... I know how to fix that, a quick fix is switch to a Virtual Console (ctrl+alt+F1) and then back to X (ctrl+alt+F7) | 00:57 |
| QuadForce | drivetrax, : currently i'm using default xorg as I'm only able to get full res this way, so currently just default screen | 00:57 |
| astro76 | annodomini: if that does it I can show you a permanent fix | 00:57 |
| deathmask | fevel: uhm no.... i mean your pc loudspeakers or your stereo amplifier | 00:57 |
| astro76 | annodomini: it's just the backlight not coming on probably | 00:57 |
| deathmask | fevel: i mean you should not just put all those faders to max level | 00:57 |
| deathmask | fevel: it COULD distort | 00:57 |
| sparr__ | how can i get grep to not print non-printable characters? | 00:58 |
| deathmask | fevel: and you should doublecheck that | 00:58 |
| eduardo | drivetrax: hey man its Nis2k i found whats going wrong, its not just a normal freeze, its kernel panic, can u please help me? | 00:58 |
| CaptainMorgan | how can I remotely change the password of a user- being that I am root | 00:58 |
| annodomini | astro76: Nope, that doesn't do it. | 00:58 |
| gnomefreak | lakotajames: run locate libflashsupport.so let me know if it finds it | 00:58 |
| CaptainMorgan | via ssh | 00:58 |
| fevel | deathmask, ok, thankfor the help man | 00:58 |
| deathmask | fevel: no worries :) | 00:58 |
| annodomini | If I ssh in, and run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force, and then wake it again, I can get it back. | 00:58 |
| fluidd | Stupid quick question! If I boot off a live cd, and go to /boot/grub, whats the grub syntax to make it re-scan for bootable partitions? | 00:58 |
| drivetrax | QuadForce, -- I had a low-res screen issue after using ATI restricted drivers.. and they helped me in Compiz chat room here on freenode.. it was a lengthy process.. to clean and rid myself of those drivers.. | 00:58 |
| kindofabuzz | deathmask: that's the thing though, i think after i install it all the K packages are visible in gnome, it mixes the menus, unless they fixed that | 00:58 |
| kitche | CaptainMorgan: man usermod there is other ways but I use usermod myself | 00:59 |
| Joe_CoT | hey, anyone really familiar with grub? I installed ubuntu from a usb stick, and for some reason it installed grub to the stick, not the harddrive (detected the stick as the first hard drive). I can load ubuntu if i put the stick in . How do i move grub from the stick to the hard drive? | 00:59 |
| QuadForce | drivetrax, : i've used all the drivers I can find | 00:59 |
| nixbox | i installed windows and wiped the ubuntu bootloader, i do not have the live CD anymore, is there a way to restore ubuntu bootloader or boot into ubuntu other than using the live CD? | 00:59 |
| deathmask | fluidd: what you probably try to do is not so easy but there are step by step howtos on how to do it in many google hits, check that..... | 00:59 |
| astro76 | annodomini: darn | 00:59 |
| kindofabuzz | !grub | 00:59 |
| ubot5 | 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 | 00:59 |
| QuadForce | had 2 ppl remote in and still unable to get it working :( | 00:59 |
| annodomini | astro76: Yeah, it is a bit odd. | 00:59 |
| fluidd | deathmask, thanks brother.. i'm pretty sure i've done it before, and it was pretty easy | 00:59 |
| unop | annodomini, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html#Installing-GRUB-natively | 00:59 |
| photo1 | i can't be sure about the packages to be honest..i am new to ubuntu to be honest sorry | 00:59 |
| amenado | Joe_CoT-> isnt that what you wanted to boot from usb? | 00:59 |
| deathmask | kindofabuzz: it WILL mix the menus. yeah. which is pretty much sane because many gnome ppl like to use kde appz and vice versa hehe :) | 01:00 |
| deathmask | fluidd: HAH :) | 01:00 |
| eduardo | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my computer crashes just after i log in. Then I did ctrl+alt+f1 just before it crashes, and its not a normal crash, its kernel panic, can anyone help? PLEASE | 01:00 |

| Joe_CoT | amenado, to install. now I want to boot from the hard drive | 01:00 |

| unop | annodomini, aye, i was, sorry :) | 01:00 |

| unop | fluidd, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html#Installing-GRUB-natively | 01:00 |
| drivetrax | QuadForce, the process was .. finding out what xorg.conf said as devices, and being sure that the bottom showed "composit "0" or "1" was set correct.. and using fglrx.. Mesa drivers under the ATI card | 01:00 |
| niuq | i upgraded ubuntu, to 8.04, and everything is working well except for my touchpad, that is not working... | 01:00 |
| justdave | if I have multiple video devices available, is there something I can pass the kernel via grub to tell it which one to use as the default screen? | 01:00 |
| amenado | Joe_CoT-> what do you have on your hard disk? | 01:00 |
| Joe_CoT | amenado, Ubuntu is completely installed on the hard drive. I just need to put grub on the hard drive. | 01:00 |
| Duomo_CL | hi everybody... i'm newbie at ubuntu (and linux)... i installed 8.04 version.. but i have this problem: I have an integrated motherboard ecs p4m800-m7... with VIA/S3 UniChrome IGP... with LiveCD I got 1024x768.. but after installing i can't get more than 800x600.. i've search... but i'm kinda lost... could anybody help me? | 01:01 |
| QuadForce | using x-config I get this | 01:01 |
| QuadForce | Identifier "Device0" | 01:01 |
| fluidd | unop, I'm not trying to install it natively, though. I read it. I'm just trying to get it to re-scan | 01:01 |
| Joe_CoT | amenado, but right now i need to put the usb stick in for it to boot, because grub ended up installed on the usb stick | 01:01 |
| deathmask | nikitis: oh you actually could add gain to your mp3s but you don't want that. check mixer levels (master, pcm and wave) first, 2nd: check your amplifier or your speakers and turn those up | 01:01 |
| fluidd | It's aready installed. | 01:01 |
| tim168 | what program can i use to make a tiled composition of images ? | 01:01 |
| noroot | i am downloading latest ubuntu version using jigdo and I see how many of those i will proably never need. like 23 mb gimp help etc... and the big open office. is thr a way to download only base system debs or only the debs u need and their dependencies and make a iso out of it that will install this system. later on i can add more programs using synaptic. can anyone point me in the right... | 01:01 |
| noroot | ...direction ?? | 01:01 |
| nikitis | deathmask, everything is turned up | 01:01 |
| amenado | Joe_CoT-> the install on the hard disk does not have its own grub ? | 01:01 |
| photo1 | when you play an mp3 file it should offer you to search for a codec and it should find it quickly to be honest | 01:01 |
| unop | fluidd, see the note on the grub find command on that page | 01:01 |
| astro76 | !minimal | noroot | 01:01 |
| ubot5 | noroot: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:01 |
| nikitis | deathmask, all the way. I need something that can hack my sound settings or something and push more volume out | 01:01 |
| deathmask | nikitis: if you're absolutely sure check your amp/speakers... | 01:02 |
| eduardo | Question: ever since i upgraded ubuntu my computer crashes just after i log in. Then I did ctrl+alt+f1 just before it crashes, and its not a normal crash, its kernel panic, can anyone help? PLEASE | 01:02 |
| nikitis | deathmask, i have fans in here | 01:02 |
| deathmask | nikitis: well it's probably one of those 3 faders in your chain... | 01:02 |
| unop | fluidd, also, if fdisk -l lists a * against a partition, that partition is marked as bootable | 01:02 |
| deathmask | nikitis: hmmm. | 01:02 |
| nikitis | deathmask, just need it a few decibles louder | 01:02 |
| Joe_CoT | amenado, no. when ubuntu installed, it installed grub to the first hard drive. which was the usb stick (and has to be the usb stick to get install to work) | 01:02 |

| Sake | Anybody know a good winamp-like mp3 player? Possibly one that integrates into the top menu in gnome? | 01:03 |
| dupin | hi | 01:03 |
| deathmask | nikitis: well you could use the equalizer of your mp3 player | 01:03 |
| niuq | Sake: xmms | 01:03 |
| amenado | Joe_CoT-> okay, you can boot off of your usb or livecd and then install grub-install on the hard disk | 01:03 |
| deathmask | nikitis: like in audacious or beep-media-player there is a fader on the very left of your equalizer which you can put up | 01:03 |
| nikitis | deathmask, would that work with volume with say, WINE programs? | 01:03 |
| deathmask | nikitis: it's the gain fader | 01:03 |

| lakotajames | yep. from gusty. | 01:07 |

| orudie | whats a good media player for ubuntu ? | 01:07 |
| amrik | compotatoj: i get the same thign too | 01:08 |
| LjL | eduardo: file a bug, i'd say | 01:08 |
| Michael88 | amenado: oky | 01:08 |
| LjL | orudie: do try asking in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:08 |
| eduardo | LjL: i cant get into my system so i can file a bug | 01:08 |
| LjL | orudie: there are quite a few listed. | 01:08 |
| lwizardl | anyone here have a Digiwave or Twinhan 103G DVB card? | 01:08 |
| compotatoj | amrik, I know if you unset LANG it fixes it, but i'm not sure if that is bad | 01:08 |
| LjL | eduardo: well you can file it from anywhere else | 01:08 |

| CaptainMorgan | is there STILL a problem with the Netbeans installer and Compiz ??? wtf | 01:08 |
| dupin | orudie : I use Mplayer,other wil tell you Amarok,XMMS........ | 01:08 |
| amrik | compotatoj: hmm I thought it only started happening when I installed other language (japanese) support | 01:09 |
| eduardo | LjL: im getting this "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" | 01:09 |
| LjL | eduardo: anyway, you could try starting the system with the "noapic" or "noacpi" or "irqpoll" kernel options, although these are just standard things to try, not really specifically relevant to a kernel panic per se | 01:09 |
| RyanPrior | CaptainMorgan: there's a problem with a lot of things and Compiz. I use compositing Metacity and I see far fewer bugs. | 01:09 |
| RyanPrior | LjL: what do those options do? | 01:09 |
| nikitis | ah man | 01:09 |
| mattd | if i have a long-running process (up to 40 minutes, for example), is crontab ok to use? | 01:09 |
| LjL | eduardo: that means it's not necessarily a kernel problem, but might be an ubuntu specific problem | 01:09 |
| drivetrax | RyanPrior, I do that instead of proprietary restricted driver | 01:10 |
| mattd | its a python script | 01:10 |
| eduardo | LjL: any ideas? | 01:10 |
| linkmaster03 | How do I reinstall the gnome volume applet? I installed a patch for OSS but I don't use OSS anymore | 01:10 |
| laeg | can i not edit the places menu? right clicking the menubar and selecting edit menu only seems to let me edit applications and system | 01:10 |
| gnomefreak | lakotajames: hold on a minute please i have others im working with and i need this site . there is a profile in /usr/lib/mozilla somewhere please make sure libflashsupport.so isnt there you WILL see libflashplayer.so please dont confuse them | 01:10 |
| LjL | RyanPrior: well, noacpi disables acpi, noapic disables some fancy interrupt controller that new computers have, and irqpoll handles interrupts in an egregiously slow manner, i think. anyway, they solve some assorted set of problems at times | 01:10 |

| ubot5 | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 01:29 |
| RyanPrior | ohQahTanzinWan: I said reinstall, but I said reboot. Oops. | 01:29 |
| RequinB4 | Pelo, aww, but that requires me to go find the CD in the mess i call an office | 01:29 |

| jdfoote1 | Hi - let my preface by saying that I'm a Linux n00b - I tried to move my /home to a new partition so that I could do a fresh install, and then tried to move it back, because that didn't work, and now I need help... ;) Anyone up to the challenge? | 01:36 |
| eduardo_ | Jack_Sparrow: that seem to be a good idea, but shitty heron wont let me use my system :) | 01:36 |
| geoce | yes, black screen. | 01:36 |
| harris | thnnnxx | 01:36 |
| eduardo_ | shamus: no i did an online upgrade | 01:36 |
| geoce | install drivers of ati, white screen | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eduardo_ please tone down your attitue and language | 01:36 |
| ikex | is anyone having else having staticy sound output?(was fine in 7.10) | 01:36 |
| RyanPrior | jdfoote1: No need to move the files back! You can just mount the parition your home files are on as /home. | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eduardo_ you can save your home with any live cd | 01:36 |
| RequinB4 | !anyone | 01:36 |

| ubot5 | 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? | 01:36 |

| bruenig | hmm | 01:37 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, do you have a site I can go to on your server so I can see what it is or isnt doing? If you do, PRIVATE MESSAGE it to me so no one screws w/your site. | 01:37 |
| RyanPrior | jdfoote1: Is there an error or some sort of additional info you can give us? | 01:37 |
| corollax | if I upgraded to hardy via distro upgrade, but it's not quite working properly... | 01:37 |
| juannicolas | HOw can i run a cronjob I created?? | 01:37 |
| corollax | can I reinstall without losing my home directory? | 01:37 |
| geoce | ATI is bad company | 01:37 |
| bruenig | juannicolas: cron jobs run themselves, that's the idea | 01:38 |
| jdfoote1 | RyanPrior: Now when I start up I'm getting "File system check failed" | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !cron | 01:38 |
| ubot5 | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 01:38 |
| ibleed | anyone use a trackball? i'm using a new logitech one. its ok. wondering if i will like it better than a mouse. in firefox a button on top of the left thumb button gets clicked often which causes a tab to disappear. only solution i thought of was somehow trying to remap the buttons on it. 15 years of using a mouse has me wanting to press that at times i shouldn't | 01:38 |
| juannicolas | bruenig i know, but I want to test it :S | 01:38 |
| RyanPrior | corollax: Back up your important files and then reinstall from scratch, if that's what you want to do. | 01:38 |
| astro76 | corollax: only if it's a separate partition from the / partition | 01:38 |
| RyanPrior | corollax: You can use rsync to do a backup of /home if you want. | 01:38 |
| bruenig | juannicolas: then run whatever command or script that is doing it | 01:38 |
| corollax | sadly, it's not. >,< | 01:38 |
| corollax | rsync? | 01:38 |
| geoce | corollax, install envy, but no. | 01:38 |
| jdfoote1 | X never starts, and the shell starts up | 01:38 |
| lowlux | how do i find and install more emblems? | 01:38 |
| bruenig | juannicolas: if you are just wanting to see if cron will actually do it and it will be successful, change the job to run every single minute, see if it works, then change it back | 01:38 |
| jdfoote1 | it says "a log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/chckfs, but I don't even know how to check that | 01:39 |
| corollax | geoce: I tried envy, but it screwed up my computer | 01:39 |
| jdfoote1 | from the shell | 01:39 |
| shamus | ibleed: yeah, i've been using one for 6 years. they're great pointing devices and comfortable. but I dont have that problem. | 01:39 |
| RyanPrior | jdfoote1: less /var/log/fsck/chckfs | 01:39 |
| juannicolas | oki | 01:39 |
| RequinB4 | jdfoote1 - nano /var/log/fsck/chckfs | 01:39 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, I can get it accessable by you in just a sec. But one thing it does do it pop up a download dialog with .phtml instead of displaying it | 01:39 |
| RyanPrior | RequinB4: why use nano? friggin' bloatware. | 01:39 |
| lowlux | how do i lock a folder so NO ONE can get in it with a password everytime? | 01:39 |
| corollax | (gogo vim!) | 01:40 |
| lowlux | without | 01:40 |
| bruenig | ibleed: trackpads and such are obnoxious, after I got a laptop and had no mouse, I stopped using mice and went keyboard only. Now even when a mouse is available, I don't use it because I have gotten so use to laptops where the trackpads are unusable. | 01:40 |
| bruenig | ibleed: imo of course | 01:40 |
| RequinB4 | RyanPrior - meh, tradition mostly | 01:40 |
| Renardp | when I try to start an application I have the next error: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" | 01:40 |

| jdfoote1 | Ok - fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sd5 /dev/sda5: | 01:40 |
| ibleed | thanks. i should use the trackball just to save me from carpal tunnel. just that itchy finger closes my firefox tabs | 01:41 |
| jdfoote1 | The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or .... | 01:41 |
| lowlux | no? | 01:41 |
| jdfoote1 | Want me to keep going? | 01:41 |
| lowlux | i don't think it did.. | 01:41 |
| corollax | you're certain? | 01:41 |
| rod0009 | whats the command for updating? | 01:41 |
| filthpig | hi, does anyone know if Technotrend Budget C-1501 is supported in linux? I know the 1500 was, but that's discontinued... Couldn't find anything in google on it | 01:41 |
| corollax | they'd need to be logged in as the owner to access it. | 01:41 |
| jdfoote1 | rod0009: apt-get upgrade | 01:41 |
| lowlux | i think i am logged in as admin right now... but i want the folder locked at all times. | 01:41 |
| rod0009 | ty | 01:41 |
| corollax | at ALL times? | 01:42 |
| astro76 | filthpig: what is it? | 01:42 |
| corollax | well chmod 222 would work... | 01:42 |
| corollax | they'd see the folder, but they couldn't enter it. | 01:42 |
| jdfoote1 | rod0009: That's to go to the newest version (i.e., gutsy to hardy) | 01:42 |
| genii | rod0009: You might want sudo in front of it | 01:42 |
| corollax | (unless they were root) | 01:42 |
| corollax | sudo would be necessary if you don't own the folder or you're not root | 01:42 |
| amrik | corollax: if they cant cd into it, chmod a+x it | 01:42 |
| filthpig | astro76, dvb-c tv tuner | 01:42 |

| shoot^ | guys, if someone can help i'd really appreciate it. I've been trying for hours now. ATI Radeon Laptop + Hardy. X crashes as soon as it gets to the boot screen. Lasts about 20 seconds using the ATI driver. Using VESA it wont let me out of 800x600 without scrambling... | 01:47 |
| thoreauputic | orudie: tar xvjf quetoo-0.6.1.tar.bz | 01:48 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, i've set up 2 servers with out changing anything, same computer but after I formatted it now it refuses to work | 01:48 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | lynet: is there a better way of dual booting? | 01:48 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: you used the gnome partition editor? you probably have to right click on the partitions in the editor, and click unmount first | 01:48 |
| Stroganoff | Psyco_Chipmunk resizing is not a thing i'd recommend. but there's zune support (MTP) in hardy.http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/03/09/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-brings-better-mtp-support/ | 01:48 |

| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: it's not a way to dual-boot, you *have* to repartition to dual boot | 01:48 |
| corollax | ushimit: go into synaptic and search "compiz" | 01:48 |
| ShdwShinobi | Hello. When I'm running Hardy Heron, it seems as if after a while, ubuntu will randomly freeze up. Any sudo command will hang and the load will spike for no apparent reason. How can I find out what's happening? | 01:48 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: have to power off | 01:48 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, alright | 01:48 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, can you get a file? | 01:48 |
| corollax | ushimit: There should be a dock that says that it doesn't need compiz | 01:48 |
| shamus | does anybody have any idea why when i start firefox, any application with sound in the background stops? | 01:49 |
| corollax | ushimit: but I'm just going from memory here. | 01:49 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: nothing, cant even log on | 01:49 |
| ushimitsudoki | corollax: alright I will give it a try | 01:49 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- have you any need for the data under Hardy? | 01:49 |
| shoot^ | if i boot into single user... | 01:49 |
| jPratt | I restarted my computer and now i dont get Volume and when i click on volume control it tells me No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found can some one help out please? | 01:49 |
| ibleed | i resized my ext3 /home partition with pgarted iso with good results. all my data was intact there as a .dtmrc file or something similar in my home dir that needed 700 permissions though, then all was back to normal | 01:49 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: there isnt any at the moment, its a completely clean install | 01:49 |
| prettyricky | guys where do I can I change my splash screen for Ubuntu 8.04? | 01:50 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: infact, this is the second install, the first had the same problem :( | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | !splash | 01:50 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | astro76: how do i do this? | 01:50 |
| ubot5 | To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 01:50 |
| RyanPrior | shamus: There are a lot of problems with Firefox and sound right now. I think it has to do with the Flash plugin. | 01:50 |
| xieo | i dont suppose anyone else had any problems with the install not detecting sata hard drives? | 01:50 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, I do not know.. if.. But, Unetbootin can install quite MANY Linux OS.. You might remove Hardy, wipe it, and try Unetbootin | 01:50 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | stroganoff: does it work well? | 01:50 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, I tried adding Apptype like shown in a lamp setup troubleshooting thing. but it didn't work then either | 01:50 |
| balls | xieo, it detects my sata drives just fine | 01:50 |
| shamus | RyanPrior: Oh, alright thanks. Any fix that you know of yet? | 01:50 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, what part of "IN PM" do you not understand? | 01:50 |
| mrynit | firefox 3.5b is really borked | 01:50 |
| ushimitsudoki | corollax: ah, simdock - i will give it a try. Thanks! | 01:50 |
| SpinachHead | before i waster a disc, my cd burner has an option for bootable. Does that matter if I check that option? | 01:50 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, the object is, of course, not to do that | 01:51 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: I'm not sure how else to rephrase right click on the partitions and click unmount ;) | 01:51 |
| tony55 | jpratt did ya try rebooting maybe it just didn't get intualized??? | 01:51 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: you used System > Admin > partition editor on the livecd right? | 01:51 |
| jPratt | Yes Multiple times | 01:51 |
| twistage | Anyone familiar with DNSmasq? Alls im trying to do is route a domain name to an internal IP | 01:51 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | astro76: then what after that? | 01:51 |
| orudie | can anyone take a look at this error please and tell me what i should try http://pastebin.com/m4f60345b | 01:51 |
| prettyricky | where is the gnome splash screen manager?? | 01:51 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, i've recieved no pm's... | 01:51 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: do you think it would make a difference? I've tried installing Hardy twice now, and both times I've had the same problem | 01:51 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: then try to resize | 01:51 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | astro76: no | 01:51 |
| tcpdumpgod | repeat jonas3d | 01:51 |
| pmotch | Hello - any rdiff-backup users who can help with a quick question? | 01:51 |
| jmbiggs | anyone know how to get back to the ubuntu user room? I asked a question, and they resolved my issue, trying to thank them | 01:51 |
| ShdwShinobi | Does anyone know why ubuntu's load spikes after a bit of use for no apparent reason? | 01:51 |
| shoot^ | i'm tempted to go back to Gutsy, because that just worked | 01:51 |
| === Silver_ is now known as SilverReadman | ||
| xieo | balls, ive been poking around with google to find any similar problems, but the install just doesn't even see them.. xp sees em just fine | 01:51 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: I would recommend doing so rather than doing the install personally | 01:51 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | ok | 01:52 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: *during the install | 01:52 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- reboot the pc.. over and over.. and keep entering your info, etc.. ? You tried about 50 times.. right? | 01:52 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | well tks | 01:52 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: or use the guided option | 01:52 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: yeah | 01:52 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | ya that doesent ever work for me | 01:52 |
| === cyclonut is now known as cyclonut|burrito | ||
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- how did you install this.. is it Dual Booted?? | 01:52 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | It has a tendency to erase my hard drive whenev er i do that astro76 | 01:52 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: nah, this is my PC, a Gutsy box | 01:52 |
| prettyricky | where is the gnome splash screen manager?? | 01:52 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: the problem is with my laptop | 01:53 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | astro76: what what the heck, theres nothing to loose, just crappy windows | 01:53 |
| orudie | can anyone take a look at this error please and tell me what i should try http://pastebin.com/m4f60345b | 01:53 |
| corollax | prettyricky: system -> administration -> login window | 01:53 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: i always upgrade that first, because i need at least one working machine! | 01:53 |
| prettyricky | ty | 01:53 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: I usually use gparted livecd or system rescue cd, because the ubuntu livecd has a tendency to automount the partitions and getting in the way | 01:53 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, okay, how.. via LiveCD, AlternateCD.. How | 01:53 |
| corollax | prettyricky: certainly! Glad to help. | 01:53 |
| RyanPrior | shamus: Some folks are working on it yet, and I'm sure a fix will be released when it's ready | 01:53 |
| Starnestommy | orudie: install build-essential | 01:53 |
| tony55 | jprat did you install something b4 the prob started? | 01:53 |
| astro76 | !gparted | Psyco_Chipmunk | 01:53 |
| ubot5 | Psyco_Chipmunk: 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/ | 01:53 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, forget it. I have a pm tab with you no response. I'll just wipe this freaking thing for the 4th time and put something else on it. | 01:53 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | astro76: does unmounting erase it | 01:53 |
| tcpdumpgod | Ah | 01:53 |
| astro76 | Psyco_Chipmunk: no | 01:54 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, dont do that. | 01:54 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, we can talk in here. | 01:54 |
| jPratt | Umm come to think of it yes KDE and Amarok | 01:54 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: i've got the DVD, have tried a text-based install, and the 'install now' ones | 01:54 |
| tcpdumpgod | Just pay attention. | 01:54 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: the liveCD has the same problems as my install- X crashes, or scrambles the screen | 01:54 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, ok | 01:54 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, "aptitude -y install libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-ruby php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-json php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl" | 01:54 |
| Busybyesk1 | Hey there Ubuntu users. I know this is probably a busy time, but I've got a wireless disconnect. It worked in gutsy and not in hardy, any ideas or related problems? | 01:54 |
| tcpdumpgod | Make sure all those are installed. | 01:54 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- You know.. there is plenty of info about installing onto a laptop.. for gutsy.. | 01:54 |
| prettyricky | corollax-------When I try opening the login window it wont open? Is there anything else I have to do? | 01:54 |
| tony55 | prob take off kde and see if that fixes prob | 01:54 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - broadcom? | 01:54 |
| shamus | RyanPrior: Do you think it's worth waiting for? Or do you think I should just get 7.10 again? (as that seemed to "just work") | 01:55 |
| Busybyesk1 | not sure of isp, coming through a university RequinB4 | 01:55 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: i had gutsy stable for 6 months... its hardy thats the problem | 01:55 |
| niuq | hi, my touchpad stop working when upgrading to ubuntu 8.04 from 7.10 | 01:55 |
| SilverReadman | I need help: I have a windows partition and an Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 partition. I want to resize the 8.04 partition to take up half, the windows to take one half, and to delete the Ubuntu 7.10 partition entirely. Can anybody recommend a method? I cannot use Partition Magic because I do not have moneys. | 01:55 |
| tcpdumpgod | let me know when you're done jonas3d | 01:55 |
| niuq | and netbeans did as well | 01:55 |
| astro76 | shoot^: people were saying the same about feisty when gutsy came out :p | 01:55 |
| ibleed | shamus, i am waiting for people to complain less about common problems in hardy before committing to it. | 01:56 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- right... So.. I think I would use a different way to install Hardy.. AGAIN | 01:56 |
| drivetrax | in yo lappytop | 01:56 |
| shoot^ | astro76: im sure thats true, but googling shows an awful lot of people having driver issues with Hardy... | 01:56 |
| pmotch | Does anyone know if you can force rdiff-backup to not do an incremental backup? Just mirror. | 01:56 |
| RyanPrior | shamus: I can't tell you about that one. I'm staying with Hardy - I've been with it for months, and sound has broken, been fixed, and broken again multiple times. I bet it'll be fixed at some point. | 01:56 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - no, it's your hardware. there shoujld be a restricted devices manager up top? | 01:56 |
| shamus | ibleed: I would have rather waited another 2-5 months for something that worked, you know? | 01:56 |
| astro76 | shoot^: people don't report their successes | 01:56 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: what would you suggest? | 01:56 |
| astro76 | when it just works | 01:56 |
| SilverReadman | I need help: I have a windows partition and an Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 partition. I want to resize the 8.04 partition to take up half, the windows to take one half, and to delete the Ubuntu 7.10 partition entirely. Can anybody recommend a method? I cannot use Partition Magic because I do not have moneys. | 01:56 |
| jbroome__ | SilverReadman: look at gparted | 01:56 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, uh.. hold on now.. brb | 01:56 |
| ibleed | shamus, yep and i bet in two months things will be ok for us :) | 01:57 |
| shoot^ | astro76: true, but this seems quite disproportionate. I love Ubuntu, but am finding this rather frustrating! | 01:57 |
| jbroome__ | SilverReadman: probably the live cd | 01:57 |
| SilverReadman | jbroome_:gparted? | 01:57 |
| geoce | i have got a ati hd 2600Pro AGP | 01:57 |
| geoce | i like activate acceleration 3D | 01:57 |
| geoce | but see a white screen | 01:57 |
| alexr | I'm new to linux and just installed 8.04 yesterday... I have a question or two. 1. Everytime I reboot I have to re-connect manually to my wifi. Is there a way to make that automatic/ | 01:57 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: with the icons for battery, network etc..? | 01:57 |
| shamus | ibleed: yeah, i know what im doing tonight (reinstalling 7.10) | 01:57 |
| geoce | why is the problem? | 01:57 |
| RyanPrior | ibleed: Hardy is working really well for most people. I suggest downloading a LiveCD and trying it out. | 01:57 |
| ari_stress | morning | 01:57 |
| Mike2008999 | ================================== | 01:57 |
| ibleed | i did try it out. i went back to gutsy last night | 01:57 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - yes, and if its not there its under system- admin - hardware drivers | 01:58 |
| RyanPrior | ibleed: Hardy is working 100% for me right now, where past releases have had all sorts of problems. Hardy is the strongest Ubuntu since 6.10 Edgy IMO. | 01:58 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: i can try a CD tomorrow in the offices... could be an issue with the DVD (has both normal and alternate on one disc) or something? | 01:58 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - hopefully its just you need a driver | 01:58 |
| shamus | RyanPrior: Any time I start firefox, in LiveCD or not, the audio is broken. I don't think it's worth the blank CD. | 01:58 |
| shoot^ | RyanPrior: definately disagree with you there! | 01:59 |
| deathmask | hah | 01:59 |
| MiYaRSTiM | and me | 01:59 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, ok all are installed. it seemed to install a few. but its finished | 01:59 |
| tony55 | jprat if your more interested in kde you might wanna try kubuntu 8.04 | 01:59 |
| RyanPrior | shoot^: You disagree on what point? | 01:59 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. isn't that an oddity? | 01:59 |
| Tyshalob | What the crap did upgrading to Hardy Heron do to my samba :( | 01:59 |
| Onyx | Has anyone else been experiencing issues with sudo segfaulting in Hardy Heron? | 01:59 |
| ibleed | people can only speak from their own experiences. its obvious hanging out here that people who had no issues in gutsy are having issues in hardy, and i've got my own issues. but like i said we can only speak for ourselves :) | 01:59 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - that's actually a good thing, but the bad thing is if it doesn't suggest for you to, which may have been the problem | 02:00 |
| tcpdumpgod | okay jonas3d now... | 02:00 |
| Onyx | That's kind of a big deal :\ | 02:00 |
| jPratt | Well i only got it to try it | 02:00 |
| RyanPrior | Onyx: sudo segfaults no matter what? I haven't heard that one yet. | 02:00 |
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- lookie here ... http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ | 02:00 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, still does that. the site is http://crazyelf.homeip.net | 02:00 |
| shoot^ | RyanPrior: ever since Edgy i have had ubuntu running on my laptop no worries... i've just spent the past 8 hours trying to get beyond a log-in screen without a crash on Hardy... | 02:00 |
| Tyshalob | And what the hell did Hardy do to /etc/fstab? What is with all this UUID=OHGODNUMBERSANDLETTERS crap? | 02:00 |
| Onyx | RyanPrior: Yes. Anything that requires elevated privileges fails. All I can think of is to reinstall sudo? | 02:00 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, when did i say we were done? | 02:00 |
| tcpdumpgod | :P | 02:00 |
| simonft2 | how do I edit the contents of src? | 02:00 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: it doesn't suggest any sort of driver. on a notebook with touchpad working well, audio is terrible, and wireless down | 02:00 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, sorry | 02:00 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, open up a terminal and type "sudo -i" | 02:01 |
| tcpdumpgod | put in your passwd. | 02:01 |
| zero88 | how do i mount a extternal harddrive if it doesnt automount? | 02:01 |
| Wyzard | Tyshalob: That's to make the mounts independent of device name (e.g. /dev/hda1 vs. /dev/sda1 vs. /dev/sdb1) | 02:01 |
| RequinB4 | !wireless | Busybyesk1 | 02:01 |
| ubot5 | Busybyesk1: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:01 |
| RyanPrior | Onyx: sure, give it a try. Sudo works fine for most folks, that's for sure | 02:01 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, done | 02:01 |
| eightbit | anyone having high temps with Hardy? | 02:01 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: it can discover all available networks, just not connect and windows still can | 02:01 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: thanks. I've already got a copy of the CD ISO- i will try it tomorrow | 02:01 |
| simonft2 | sorry , not sure if it was sent, but how do I edit the contents of src? | 02:01 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: thanks for your help | 02:01 |
| Sergeant_Pony | alsactl store invalid filename or directory. I get this on shutdown any ideas? | 02:01 |
| RyanPrior | zero88: You should be able to just plug it in and Nautilius will auto-mount it. | 02:01 |
| tcpdumpgod | ok jonas3d one sec. | 02:01 |
| quentusrex | How do I setup a local repository for local custom software to make it easier to deploy on my local network? | 02:01 |
| Wyzard | Tyshalob: because the names can be different after a reboot in some cases due to drivers loading in a different order | 02:01 |
| Wavesonics | does ubuntu try adn install the latest ATI propietary? | 02:01 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - use lspci to figure out what you ahve | 02:01 |
| tcpdumpgod | dont go anywhere | 02:01 |
| tcpdumpgod | just need to write a command out. | 02:01 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, im using kubuntu | 02:01 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, and it doesnt automount | 02:01 |
| RyanPrior | zero88: You're in the wrong room then. | 02:01 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, i know but i am not getting any help in there ;? | 02:02 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: it must be using the hardware to discover multiple wireless networks, right? | 02:02 |
| Onyx | RyanPrior: Heh, yeah, it's kind of important | 02:02 |
| Starnestommy | I think this channel supports kubuntu and xubuntu too | 02:02 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, believe me i'm not going anywhere. Its taken me this long just to find someone to help, and 3 days of banging head against the desk to run off. :P | 02:02 |
| RyanPrior | zero88: You may get help with KDE in here, but it's doubtful since most of us focus on Gnome. | 02:02 |
| Pelo | eightbit, I've been wondering but I can't say for sure weather is warmer here now and ambaint temp does affect the fan's efficency | 02:02 |
| * Onyx runs telinit 3... here goes nothing | 02:02 | |
| drivetrax | shoot^, -- think I would.. CD an ISO or use a netboot install, if possible UNetbootin? | 02:02 |
| Tyshalob | Okay. One question down. Now, what the hell happened to samba? It was working just fine before I upgraded, but now it won't mount my shares. | 02:02 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, or anyone. is there a way to list my external hardrive | 02:02 |
| jPratt | I hate KDE It took away my sound | 02:02 |
| ibleed | ubuntu is much bigger than gnome though. there's all the gooey guts underneath | 02:03 |
| antbee | Busybyesk1: Might not be the same problem; but Network-Manager stopped working for me today after some Hardy updates. Refused to lock on to a wifi network. Had to replace it with WICD to use wifi again. | 02:03 |
| RyanPrior | zero88: Is it a USB drive? If so, you should be able to list it with lsusb (if that's installed in Kubuntu) | 02:03 |
| Caplinux | My only gripe with KDE is it looks too much like Windows | 02:03 |
| shoot^ | drivetrax: thanks :) | 02:03 |
| drivetrax | ibleed, - "Gutsy" | 02:03 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, yes it is | 02:03 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - yeah it's not a driver problem... have you tired moving closer to the router? | 02:03 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, "grep -i DirectoryIndex /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf" | 02:03 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, doesnt show anything. but does show some device id, with no description | 02:03 |
| tcpdumpgod | paste me the result of that to http://pastebin.ca | 02:03 |
| Busybyesk1 | antbee: what's this WICD? | 02:04 |
| zero88 | RyanPrior, **** it. im just going to go into Gnome :) | 02:04 |
| Joeseph | Is there a version of ubuntu well suited for recording midi devices? Rosegarden complains that the system timer is not right (and there's always that big delay.....) | 02:04 |
| astro76 | Tyshalob: it's not samba, but the system Gnome uses to mount filesystems | 02:04 |
| RyanPrior | zero88: Hmm. My lsusb distinctly lists "Seagate FreeAgent Hard Drive" | 02:04 |
| astro76 | Tyshalob: Hardy switched to gnome-vfs which is supposed to be much better | 02:04 |
| Spreadsheet | hi ppl | 02:04 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: vista connects with no difficulty at all, it's a well repeated network around a campus | 02:04 |
| Spreadsheet | i have a simple question | 02:04 |
| Caplinux | WICD is a Wireless manager. It works very well for me | 02:04 |
| jPratt | I need help getting my sound back please, And i have no boot screen i get grub saying pres esc in 3(2,1,0) to goto menu and then a black screen than it logs me in | 02:04 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d ? | 02:05 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8618/ | 02:05 |
| Spreadsheet | when i install dual boot ubuntu, what happens when i reboot | 02:05 |
| Spreadsheet | ? | 02:05 |
| tcpdumpgod | It shouldn't have taken that long. | 02:05 |
| ibleed | Joeseph, i believe a low latency kernel is what people use for those kinds of applications though i can't address your specific problems | 02:05 |
| astro76 | Tyshalob: if you already had ones set up you might have to redo it, try that first perhaps | 02:05 |
| Adys | Im getting locale error messages on most terminal commands, like those: http://pastebin.com/d122cfc07 - anyone has any idea how to fix it? | 02:05 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, sorry i'm on here on a seperate computer | 02:05 |
| Spreadsheet | does it automatically boot ubuntu or does it give me a menu? | 02:05 |
| tony55 | jprat did you use wubi to install ubuntu in windoes | 02:05 |
| jonas3d | i'm having to type it in that computer | 02:05 |
| tcpdumpgod | oh jonas3d sorry. | 02:05 |
| jPratt | Im all ubuntu so no | 02:05 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, lets do this then. | 02:05 |
| Joeseph | ibleed: low latency you say? I don't know what that means, I'll look it up | 02:05 |
| tcpdumpgod | instead of that, do this... | 02:05 |
| Spreadsheet | hey | 02:05 |
| bazhang | Spreadsheet: should give you a choice | 02:06 |
| Spreadsheet | k | 02:06 |
| jonas3d | just a sec i'll switch to an irc on it so we can do this quicker | 02:06 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: looks like 3945ABG | 02:06 |
| Starnestommy | Spreadsheet: I think it gives you a menu if you press the ESC key. That behavior can be changed with /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:06 |

| Caplinux | Joeseph, Ubuntu Studio is for digital audio and video. I will admit that is about all I know about it | 02:06 |
| tcpdumpgod | do that one, tell me if it echos anything. | 02:06 |
| tony55 | jprat ok if you setup a single user then there is nothing wrong that is normal bootup | 02:06 |
| comboman | I wrote my own shell, and I need to test the input redirection, anyone have any commands they could suggest that would simply echo the input? | 02:06 |
| Joeseph | Caplinux: thanks- I'll look into it | 02:06 |
| eightbit | I've got a lattitude c810 on hardy it runs about 70 c. , normally it runs much cooler | 02:07 |
| Caplinux | Joeseph There is a link to it off of the Ubuntu main page | 02:07 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - just for the record, is the LCD working | 02:07 |
| Tyshalob | <astro76> Tyshalob: if you already had ones set up you might have to redo it, try that first perhaps -- I'm a bit confused. Are you saying I should uninstall and reinstall samba or what's the deal? | 02:07 |
| Sergeant_Pony | alsactl store invalid filname or directory. I get this on shutdown. any ideas? I use pulseaudio for sound. | 02:07 |
| Joeseph | CapLinux: found it- I'll see if there's a channel tooo | 02:07 |
| RequinB4 | busybyesk1 - LED | 02:07 |
| tony55 | jprat as for fixing sound might try installing the alsa volume controler | 02:07 |
| Caplinux | Good luck, and have fun | 02:07 |
| vbman11 | hey guys! I'm having a slight problem with my saa7134 TV card | 02:07 |
| jPratt | oohkay well i was used to the screen that shows the Ubuntu Symbol and the bar going forward ya know what i mean, But my sound is still my priorety | 02:07 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, that was a yes or no quesiton. Yes it returned something or no it didnt. | 02:07 |
| tcpdumpgod | lol | 02:07 |
| Busybyesk1 | RequinB4: no, it's orange, blue is "working" | 02:07 |
| antbee | Busybyesk1: WICD: As Caplinux says. But it is not in the normal respositories you will need to add the WICD repository to install. | 02:08 |
| aaron | tcpdumpgod, ok i switched sorry about that | 02:08 |
| tcpdumpgod | Sure thing aaron | 02:08 |
| tcpdumpgod | Did it bring something back or not? | 02:08 |
| ibleed | eightbit, my cpu started to set off my motherboard alarm at 60F. i had to bump it up to 70F to avoid the alarms, and that is ok with me. its difficult for me to determine whether its the bios or having installed hardy that did it but i'm pretty sure my cpu and cpu freezer should handle 60F with no issues. definitely odd. | 02:08 |
| tony55 | yeah know what ya mean for that you just press esc when it asks | 02:08 |
| === aaron is now known as jonas3d | ||
| astro76 | Tyshalob: I'm still running Gutsy so I'm not sure how the interface has changed... I mean is there still a places > connect to server...? is that how you mounted them before? what happens if you do that now? | 02:08 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - that's bug #178530, and no known solution as of now. Are you able to access "open" networks? | 02:08 |

| Cale | Hmm, I've installed sun-java6-plugin on Hardy, and it doesn't appear to be showing up in Firefox 2.0.0.14. | 02:12 |
| RequinB4 | Busybyesk1 - due to the nature of the bug, i'm pretty sure it'll be fixed shortly, as they are alrady making progress | 02:12 |

| Busybyesk1 | bazhang: awesome to hear, thanks | 02:13 |
| alexr | RyanPrior; using firefox? You have the folder structure on the left and preview pane on right?... all that good stuff? | 02:13 |
| bazhang | Mike2008999: yes and disable caps | 02:13 |
| mooseman089 | i just installed 8.04 and set up some auto mounting samba shares in /etc/fstab but when i shutdown i see a cifs vfs: no response error | 02:13 |

| feraliminal | I have a serial Wacom tablet that worked under Gutsy, but doesn't under Hardy. When I change anything in xorg.conf it breaks X. Any ideas? | 02:14 |
| [gquit]bombadil | i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 now i have no sound from firefox, but i do get sound from everything else | 02:14 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, UGh! it doesn't even look to have any Addtype entries at all | 02:14 |
| blankhead | hey does anybody notice there media button on there keyboards dont work? i have a keybaord with shortcut keys and bu ttons to open up web browser email and media player...in gutsy it worked fine but in hardy it doesnt i even reinstalled the hardy but still no show | 02:15 |
| angasule | [gquit]bombadil: what in firefox? flash? | 02:15 |
| niuq | hi i have problems with ubuntu 8.4 | 02:15 |
| niuq | 8.04 | 02:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | wow.. wine seems to have improved... | 02:15 |
| niuq | my touchpad is not working | 02:15 |
| RyanPrior | [gquit]bombadil: It's a well-known bug, and a fix is in the works. There has been major sound restructuring between 7.10 and 8.04 - once things are all sorted out, it should be better than ever. | 02:15 |
| [gquit]bombadil | angasule: yes from flash | 02:15 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, looks like you've found your problem. | 02:15 |
| tcpdumpgod | :D | 02:15 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, http://pastebin.ca/1001197 | 02:16 |
| alexr | Yeah, I can use it. But the layout is really basic, and a bit slower than usual. I can't use the reading pane, I have to open messages to see them. | 02:16 |
| mooseman089 | does anybody else have a cifs vfs: no response bug? | 02:16 |
| * tcpdumpgod looks | 02:16 | |
| RyanPrior | [gquit]bombadil: If you want to fix the sound problem you can install libflashsupport, but that is likely to cause Firefox to occasionally or even frequently crash. | 02:16 |
| Cale | Speaking of the sound restructuring -- a good idea would be to reset the volume settings when upgrading. The startup sound was so loud it nearly blew out my speakers after upgrading to Hardy. | 02:16 |
| RyanPrior | [gquit]bombadil: Better solutions are being explored presently. | 02:16 |
| Joeseph | okay, ran into a bit of confusion: The following packages have unmet dependencies: ubuntu-desktop: Depends: ubuntu-sounds but it is not installable-------The following packages have unmet dependencies: ubuntu-desktop | 02:16 |
| [gquit]bombadil | RyanPrior: thank you very much | 02:17 |
| blankhead | has anybody had issues with flash sound not working after playing music in there media player like rhythmbox, banshee or amarok | 02:17 |
| Joeseph | basically its wanting me to uninstall ubuntu-desktop: which is that- gnome? and should I let it? | 02:17 |
| ibleed | Joeseph, i think you solve dependancy problems with a sudo apt-get install -f , i think. if i am wrong hopefully someone can correct me | 02:17 |
| Mike2008999 | thank you all for your help | 02:17 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, are the addtypes in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf ? | 02:17 |
| blankhead | like i play music in banshee for a while and then i go to youtube and theres no sound.... i have to restart X everytime | 02:17 |
| isdepopecath | I've had problems getting sound to play on youtube, metacafe, etc | 02:18 |
| Adys | Im getting locale error messages on most terminal commands, like those: http://pastebin.com/d122cfc07 - anyone has any idea how to fix it? | 02:18 |
| gaspipe1 | hey people | 02:18 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, make sure you "/etc/init.d/apache2 reload" after making a configuration change. | 02:18 |
| ibleed | blankhead, i think libflashsupport fixed that for me in hardy but is buggy | 02:18 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, there is no php5 file in mods-enabled | 02:19 |
| jonas3d | nor mods-available | 02:19 |
| Adys | http://pastebin.com/d122cfc07 Has anyone any idea how to fix those error messages? | 02:19 |
| tcpdumpgod | ack. | 02:19 |
| tcpdumpgod | okay hold up | 02:19 |
| x45 | does anyone know the best solution for connecting and ubuntu pc to an ubuntu laptop and allowing the pc to use the internet through the laptop | 02:19 |
| jonas3d | its rather weird... | 02:19 |
| blankhead | ibleed: okay, maybe its a flash issue...hopeuflly they patch it up and make it good...what pisses me off is that my media button dont work...i love that button that was like my most used button =( lol | 02:19 |
| sacul | any regex junkies in here? I'm trying to match hidden files using "ls -a | grep '^\.'" but I don't want "." and ".." to be matched... any suggestions? | 02:20 |
| ibleed | blankhead, keyboard button ? you can map those to do what you want. i'm not sure how though :) | 02:20 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, you dont see php5.conf or php5.load in there? | 02:20 |
| boobsbr | hi, how do i disabel Tracker and prevent it from starting up again when anyone logs in? | 02:20 |
| jonas3d | nope :( | 02:20 |
| tony55 | would think you would set leptop ip adfdy in desktop as your gateway or dns | 02:20 |
| Adys | sacul, give it a minimum of three chars? | 02:20 |
| stu-mc | im having a problem setting up a wireless connection for the first time. I have hardy freshly installed. Im not a linux user, i copy and paste alot from internet to get by. I can see that the usb driver for the edimax are installed (by default), and the mac address is correct so its communicating with the usb device. However if i setup the network info it fails to get an IP address from teh dhcp, if i try to assign a static i can not point oth | 02:20 |
| Adys | it wont get .hi but it should be fine | 02:21 |
| stu-mc | network address's other than its self. | 02:21 |
| blankhead | ibleed: yeah thats something i really want to do theres some keyboard buttons that i want to remap to do other things like open terminal most of the buttons work but except that media button | 02:21 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, that directory should look something like this http://pastebin.ca/raw/1001203 | 02:21 |
| sacul | Adys I found that expression online.. how do I give it a minimum of three? | 02:21 |
| blankhead | ibleed: i would really love to learn how to remap my keys but i bet its something hard to do | 02:21 |
| drivetrax | Unetbootin - now supports 8.04LTS | 02:21 |
| jonas3d | I see perl cgi stuff like that but no php5 | 02:21 |
| bazhang | Adys: you dont have the language support packs installed? is that what is generating your error? | 02:22 |
| Joeseph | I'll just see how things go.... | 02:22 |
| blankhead | is there a place where i could file a bug for ubuntu | 02:22 |
| jrib | sacul: why not use (and a decent shell like zsh or if you are using bash grep out the . and ..): ls -d .* | 02:22 |
| blankhead | i want to bring some issues to there attention | 02:22 |
| Adys | sacul, umm ^\...+' | 02:22 |
| ibleed | blankhead, you ever heard of sudo apt-cache search <string> its real useful you could try sudo apt-cache search keyboard just to see what results keyboard comes up with. sometimes its faster than waiting for people to tell you. | 02:22 |
| Adys | i think | 02:22 |
| M4cD4ddy | hey anyone know if you can get xunbutu or ubuntu running on the XO laptop? | 02:22 |
| jonas3d | maybe I could make the file and point it to the php5 binaries? | 02:22 |
| schitzo | interest | 02:22 |

| blankhead | ibleed: name me a <string> i could put in cuz its vague to me | 02:22 |
| jrib | sacul: minimum of three chars is not what you want since that excludes things like ".a" | 02:23 |
| ibleed | blankhead, i'd try 'map' | 02:23 |
| Adys | aye sacul what jrib said | 02:23 |
| bazhang | blankhead: apt-cache search firefox (no need for sudo) | 02:23 |
| Adys | its just if you dont have any file with less than four chars counting the dot | 02:23 |

| photo1 | ok for your information guys..i found the problem with my sound: in my sound preferences i had setup sound to autodetect now i chanted to to alsa and its working wonderfully | 02:24 |
| sacul | jrib and adys that may work for me anyway.. what I'm trying to do is remove all the configuration files in my home directory so that when I do a fresh install of hardy it will not have all my customizations from gutsy | 02:24 |
| jrib | sacul: ls -Ad .* seems to do what you want | 02:24 |
| Adys | sacul, you can also try, if you dont have any file with non alphanumeric chars as second letter, ^.(a-zA-Z0-9) | 02:24 |
| sacul | jrib that matches .. and . | 02:24 |
| Adys | +' | 02:24 |

| sacul | adys i tried that and it only matched my dcc++ directory | 02:27 |
| stu-mc | is anyone free to give advice on my question/query ? | 02:27 |
| sacul | adys but without it it matched everything i needed... | 02:27 |
| bazhang | stu-mc: does ifconfig show the nic? should be eth0 lo and wlan0 or something like that | 02:27 |
| Adys | sacul, aight then fine, but be careful with regexed rm :) | 02:27 |

| Adys | that doesnt come by default in hardy does it? | 02:31 |
| photo1 | what could i be missing for amarok to not work correctly | 02:31 |
| stu-mc | bazhang: sorry for slow responces, im not a fast reader wither .. iwlist shows my network | 02:31 |
| Adys | Gman99999, the only indexer that comes in hardy is tracker-tool iirc | 02:31 |
| photo1 | nevermind its working now!!! | 02:32 |
| photo1 | how did that hapen? | 02:32 |
| feraliminal | I have a serial Wacom tablet that worked under Gutsy, but doesn't under Hardy. When I change anything in xorg.conf I get put into low graphics mode and the tablet still doesn't work. Thoughts? | 02:32 |
| bazhang | stu-mc: and what about sudo dhclient wlan0 | 02:32 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, be sure to get the spaces in this command. | 02:32 |
| tcpdumpgod | aptitude search php5 |grep "i " | 02:32 |

| Gman99999 | Adys theres an icon on my tray that appeared when hardy did and its called desktop search (F12) | 02:32 |
| Adys | Gman99999, thats tracker-tool | 02:32 |
| bazhang | photo1: what do you mean exactly--ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed? yea or nay | 02:32 |
| Gman99999 | adys and it does amazingly well | 02:32 |
| Gman99999 | adys ok so does it use the beagle search daemon? | 02:33 |
| Adys | nope | 02:33 |
| tcpdumpgod | No Gman99999 | 02:33 |
| isdepopecath | Why are some apps that are advertised as being written for GNOME not work as well as they should, meaning that they flash in their windows. | 02:33 |
| tcpdumpgod | I use find/locate | 02:33 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, http://pastebin.ca/1001222 | 02:33 |
| Wavesonics | GGAAHH! I *finially* have dual monitors working with the fglrx driver, but ONLY for the login screen! As soon as I log in, it goes from big desktop to clone, WHY?! | 02:33 |
| feraliminal | Adys: Thanks. Will try it. | 02:33 |
| bazhang | isdepopecath: what apps | 02:33 |
| isdepopecath | bazhang: Vegas Strike, for example. | 02:33 |
| Adys | feraliminal, xserver-xorg-input-wacom | 02:33 |
| Adys | uninstallpurge and reinstall | 02:33 |
| Gman99999 | tcpdumpgod ok so how do i get rid of the beagle searcg daemon that;s running on my computer right now, why bother having two indexers right? | 02:34 |
| stu-mc | bazhang: i will have to resetup the network settings i removed them . gimme 5 mins. sorry. | 02:34 |
| bazhang | isdepopecath: what is that and how was it installed | 02:34 |
| isdepopecath | bazhang: It is a game, and it was installed using the Add/Remove Applications client | 02:34 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, "locate php5.conf" | 02:34 |
| bazhang | isdepopecath: flash? is it a video issue? | 02:35 |
| Adys | Gman99999, gksu synaptic, search for beagle, uninstall | 02:35 |
| tcpdumpgod | Gman99999, not sure... just disable it in the config file somewhere. | 02:35 |
| Adys | (libbeagle is a dependency of brasero tho) | 02:35 |
| Gman99999 | adys already did and its still running | 02:35 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, returned with nothing | 02:35 |
| caexo | dumb question... i downloaded the 8.04 amd64 edition, can i upgrade via that? the cd upgrade on the website only mentions the alternate cd | 02:35 |
| tcpdumpgod | wow. | 02:35 |
| caexo | er burnt the 64bit i meant | 02:35 |
| isdepopecath | bazhang: Yea, the image is all flickery, flashing black in the window. | 02:35 |

| bazhang | x45 ask and if someone knows they will answer | 02:36 |
| caexo | ok, i hope verizon doesn't mind me downloading another gig+ | 02:36 |
| GaintSura | is it possible to install ubuntu on the same drive as vista, behind the vista partition? | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | anyone else experiencing a similer issue? | 02:36 |
| Adys | GaintSura, sure | 02:36 |
| drivetrax | isdepopecath, -- I had my entire firefox window go Black.. | 02:36 |
| RequinB4 | !wubi | 02:36 |
| Gman99999 | adys its taking 70 megs of memory as a running process for something i probably dont even use | 02:36 |
| ubot5 | wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html | 02:36 |
| bazhang | GaintSura: dual boot? sure--or did you mean via wubi | 02:36 |
| Adys | Gman99999, if you restart x does it still go on? | 02:37 |
| GaintSura | I'm doing the wubi thing right now | 02:37 |
| x45 | i have an ubuntu laptop running off a wireless connection, and an ubuntu pc that i want to give the internet too through my laptop using an ethernet cable, how is this done? | 02:37 |
| Gman99999 | Adys let me find out | 02:37 |
| isdepopecath | drivetrax: my ff window is working fine, I don't know what your problem is | 02:37 |
| Gman99999 | brb | 02:37 |
| GaintSura | but I want to eventually migrate over to ubuntu... I'm done contributing to the Microshaft | 02:37 |
| drivetrax | isdepopecath, - ahhh I think flash_9 did it | 02:37 |
| nowimproved | can i boot the live installer with a emachine 256 mb cache 128 mb ram 20 g hard drive 8x cdrw | 02:37 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, finished | 02:37 |
| bazhang | x45 you need to look into ad-hoc networking | 02:37 |
| stu-mc | bazhang: ssid's caps sensitive in linux ? as I reentered details and now its working. but it starts with a caps and I didnt do that before. | 02:38 |
| bazhang | x45 not a simple procedure btw | 02:38 |
| isdepopecath | drivetrax: ah, ok | 02:38 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, "updatedb && locate php5.conf" | 02:38 |
| bazhang | stu-mc: yes they are | 02:38 |
| x45 | bazhang, the best solution would probably to add a wireless NIC to the pc wouldn't it | 02:38 |
| shane2peru | on ssh, how do you add the new code to the .ssh/knowhosts | 02:38 |
| nowimproved | because i boot the installler and when it goes to x it freezes, does not load the wm and just keeps trying to load, any ideas? | 02:38 |
| stu-mc | bazhang: ty for your help .. also anyone else who helped. | 02:38 |
| bazhang | x45 cheapest would just to get a wireless router | 02:39 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, /var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-php5.conffiles | 02:39 |
| x45 | bazhang, i have one | 02:39 |
| Mitsuo | umm.. where can i get pthreads? | 02:39 |
| shane2peru | ohh, I mean .ssh/known_hosts? | 02:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, is this a new install? | 02:39 |
| bazhang | x45 with an ethernet connection as well | 02:39 |
| drivetrax | isdepopecath, -- just before that, I had watched Metacafe video.. then got skipping sound, and no video would play, then next video after reboot.. was a black screen - the entire firefox screen | 02:39 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: sudo gedit ~/.shh/known_hosts | 02:39 |
| John_S | x45: Then why don't you use your router for NATing? | 02:39 |
| x45 | bazhang, i see what your saying, yea that would be pretty simple to do | 02:39 |
| jayb2009 | anyone know if its possible to write to a mounted iso, I dont want to recreate the iso just add a few files without modifying the boot sector and info that the iso already has | 02:39 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, I reinstalled for like the 3rd time about 2-3 hours ago | 02:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | Crapola | 02:39 |
| derspankster | x45: just install a wireless card in the other computer | 02:39 |
| x45 | John_S, i don't know how to do that, thats why im asking | 02:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | okay jonas3d lets do this. | 02:40 |
| harris | HEY guys help me...." when I am tryin to install XCHAT with SYNAPTIC MANAGER". when I click the icon xchat next is a message "the list of app. is not available, Click Reload to load" | 02:40 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, then just copy the code fingerprint RSA key it gave me? | 02:40 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, "aptitude -y purge libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-ruby php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-json php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl" | 02:40 |

| nowimproved | cant* | 02:40 |
| isdepopecath | drivetrax: yea, that must be something with flash. | 02:40 |
| bazhang | jayb2009: you need something like uck and it would require a remaster of the iso (burning a new iso) | 02:40 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: yes, or just tell shh to add it when you connect to a new host for the firt time | 02:40 |
| nowimproved | emonster 1000b | 02:40 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, do we want to kill out apache2 as well? | 02:40 |
| Mimi | j #c++ | 02:40 |
| Mimi | oops | 02:40 |
| John_S | x45: The router does NAT by default--that's how you can have many computers share its connection. | 02:40 |
| harris | HEY guys help me...." when I am tryin to install XCHAT with SYNAPTIC MANAGER". when I click the icon xchat next is a message "the list of app. is not available, Click Reload to load" | 02:40 |
| tcpdumpgod | Not yet. | 02:40 |
| drivetrax | isdepopecath, I think it is FF2 | 02:40 |
| Starnestommy | harris: have you tried "sudo apt-get install xchat" in a terminal? | 02:40 |
| DefineKThyne | I have both Totem and VLC media plugins for Firefox, how can I make VLC the default? do i just uninstall the Totem stuffs? | 02:40 |
| tcpdumpgod | Just do that 1st. | 02:40 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, and how do I know which one goes for which computer? | 02:40 |
| Wyzard | harris: Did you click Reload? | 02:40 |
| bbyever | !patience | harris: | 02:40 |
| ubot5 | harris:: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 02:40 |
| jayb2009 | bazhang: whats uck | 02:41 |
| John_S | x45: Do you need some help setting up your router? | 02:41 |
| harris | YES I TRIED IT IN TERMINAL and didt work also | 02:41 |
| ariqs | is there a less spammy ubuntu help channel? | 02:41 |
| Starnestommy | harris: what was the error message? | 02:41 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, right, the problem is I upgraded the computer, and I guess that changed the key. | 02:41 |
| x45 | John_S, possibly | 02:41 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, alright its finished | 02:41 |
| bazhang | harris make sure all the first four repos are enabled then update and try again | 02:41 |
| tcpdumpgod | okay. | 02:41 |
| isdepopecath | drivetrax: Yea, you might want to try the 3.5 beta | 02:41 |
| bazhang | jayb2009: ubuntu customization kit | 02:41 |
| harris | i forgot.... but it is i guess ..... it sometin lyk "not found" | 02:41 |
| x45 | John_S, wouldn't it be possible though to send my laptops connection through an ether cable to the pc? | 02:41 |
| drivetrax | I just installed XChat | 02:42 |
| jrib | ariqs: best to just ask your question here and be patient. The more people in the channel, the more likely it is someone knows the answer to your question | 02:42 |
| drivetrax | worked fine | 02:42 |
| mouseclon1 | anyone fixed the audigy cards yet? kernel 2.6.24-16-generic? | 02:42 |
| ariqs | I can't get my modem setup in ubuntu to connect to the internet. I tried every setup there was in the network nonsense, and none of it worked. What to try? | 02:42 |
| John_S | x45: Absolutely, but like bazhang said earlier, it's not a simple process setting up an ad-hoc network--can be done, but would take some work. | 02:42 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: the key shouldnt have changed... just connect to it again and tell it to add the key to the known hosts | 02:42 |
| Wyzard | harris: Did you click the Reload button in synaptic? | 02:42 |
| _earlgrey | I installed locate in Hardy for my searches. Is in OK to remove tracker from ubuntu? Or, is it better just to leave it disabled & unused? | 02:42 |
| harris | bazhang.....! | 02:42 |
| sacul | I created a few folders called "rmme" and "rmmetoo" and ran "ls -a | grep rmme | xargs -0 rm -r" as a test but its not working because of the '\n' newline characters. any suggestions? | 02:42 |
| jayb2009 | bazhang: thanks but the iso is not linux its another OS | 02:42 |
| harris | I dont see RELOAD BUTTON | 02:42 |
| ariqs | jrib: this channel is a mess ;P | 02:42 |

| John_S | x45: If you have a router though, why would you want to go thru your PC? | 02:43 |
| RyanPrior | harris: easy on the caps lock, buddy. | 02:43 |
| harris | okay | 02:43 |

| joanjoseph | hi | 02:43 |
| photo1 | so whats cooking people? | 02:43 |
| joanjoseph | can any1 help me | 02:43 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, it doesn't give me that option, it says, "Offending key in /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts:1" | 02:43 |
| bazhang | jayb2009: well does not really matter what distro--they all have an iteration of it--fedora has constructor or somesuch which distro was it--you can then ask in their channel--trivially easy really | 02:43 |
| joanjoseph | how to install compiz in hardy heron | 02:43 |
| harris | ok ok ...... its my first tym to use ubuntu | 02:43 |
| eduardo | shamus u there_ | 02:43 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, I guess that would mean key 1 is bad? | 02:43 |
| eduardo | ?? | 02:43 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, reinstall or no? | 02:43 |
| ariqs | btw: for future reference to any devs out there, the partition manager is kinda annoying. It either makes you install it on whatever partition it chooses or you have to select all the details you don't know about yourself. there should be an in between one that does all the drive format stuff for you, but doesn't force you to use one partition | 02:43 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: ah so it doesnt let you connect? | 02:44 |
| koro | anyone knows how to disable transparency of the titlebar of non-focused windows in ubuntu? | 02:44 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, correct | 02:44 |
| joanjoseph | can any1 help me how to install compiz in hardy heron? | 02:44 |
| tcpdumpgod | no jonas3d | 02:44 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: yeah, you could just delete that key | 02:44 |
| bazhang | ariqs: better than most out there though | 02:44 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, | 02:44 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: and then it would let you connect | 02:44 |
| drivetrax | harris, -- read this now.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=345784 | 02:44 |
| koro | i find it ugly, and i can't find a way to disable, even if i install different gnome themes it still does that | 02:44 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, I assume it would be key one, based on that info it gave me. | 02:44 |
| jrib | ariqs: this isn't the right channel for that, you should file a bug if you want to get the devs attention | 02:44 |
| x45 | John_S, ok here's my setup, ive got my laptop going through the wireless router "which is inside my house" im in my garage where the pc is at and my laptop still gets a connection,...so i was hoping to feed the pc through my laptop for its net | 02:44 |

| Mimi | joanjoseph: its already installed in hardy... go to desktop, right click anywhere, select change background, go to the last tab, select "extra" | 02:44 |
| bazhang | koro try using a different theme first | 02:44 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, ok, thanks! | 02:44 |
| x45 | John_S, which should be possible right | 02:44 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: np | 02:44 |
| sacul | I created a few folders called "rmme" and "rmmetoo" and ran "ls -a | grep rmme | xargs -0 rm -r" as a test but its not working because of the '\n' newline characters. any suggestions? | 02:45 |
| koro | bazhang: i tried all possible themes | 02:45 |
| koro | bazhang: all of them get transparency | 02:45 |
| photo1 | go to system->admin->package manager once there search for compiz and you will find it | 02:45 |
| koro | i think this is not associated to the theme itself | 02:45 |
| ariqs | I'm here for my inability to get my modem setup in ubuntu. That was just an after thought | 02:45 |
| bazhang | koro this is using compiz right? | 02:45 |
| koro | yes | 02:45 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, http://pastebin.ca/1001231 | 02:45 |
| John_S | x45: Yes it's possible, but is your laptop closer than your router? Why not just ethernet into your router? | 02:45 |
| feraliminal | Adys: reinstalled xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools, still no Wacom tablet. My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.org/32668 | 02:45 |
| bazhang | koro the compiz channel can work that one out iirc | 02:45 |
| CygnusX1 | Does anyone know of an addon/scrip for nautilus that would allow a popup with "copy/move/cancel" to popup when drag and dropping a file? | 02:46 |
| === M4cD4ddy is now known as MacDaddy | ||
| koro | bazhang: ok i'll try, thanks | 02:46 |
| John_S | x45: i.e. connect your PC into your router directly using ethernet cable, instead of ethernet cable into your laptop. | 02:46 |
| joanjoseph | oh ty mimi | 02:46 |
| seamus7 | koro: you can change the transparency levels in compiz by going to Advanced Desktop Effects in System/Preferences ... | 02:46 |
| joanjoseph | :) | 02:46 |
| bazhang | CygnusX1: you might want kde then | 02:46 |
| ariqs | guess no one knows a solution to my modem issues | 02:46 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, I just killed those packages out | 02:46 |
| ell | cannot print to shared printer on windows network ubuntu 8.04 dual boot with xp | 02:46 |
| tcpdumpgod | okay | 02:46 |
| tcpdumpgod | hold up | 02:46 |
| ariqs | I have two dialup modems on this thing of different kinds and ubuntu doesn't seem to let me use either just selecting the random ports | 02:47 |
| bazhang | ariqs: dont expect an instant answer | 02:47 |
| CygnusX1 | bazhang: :-) I am a long time KDE luddite. Doing my best to try and enjoy Gnome. This is my big hangup at this point. | 02:47 |
| koro | seamus7: yes but i can't find any section that deals with this specific issue (titlebar of unfocused windows) | 02:47 |
| x45 | John_S, that would require moving the router from the house to the garage though, then their would be limited range in the house | 02:47 |
| jrib | !dialup > ariqs (read the private message from ubotu) | 02:48 |
| x45 | John_S, but yea, that would work | 02:48 |
| jrib | ariqs: see if the steps there help | 02:48 |
| koro | the transparency options in desktop effects seem to be intended for configuring particular windows with particular transparency levels | 02:48 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: i just checked my known_hosts file and i couldnt tell the diference of diferent keys... i mean they werent numbered, is it the same in you case? | 02:48 |
| John_S | x45: OK, I must have misunderstood--is your laptop not in the house, but instead in the garage where you can cable into it? | 02:48 |
| ariqs | I'm not getting anything, jrib | 02:48 |
| seamus7 | koro: try disabling compiz plugins one at a time and when your problem is resolved you'll know that the settings for transparency on non-focused title bars is in that particular plugin | 02:48 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, actually when I tried to remove those they are still there | 02:48 |
| jrib | !dialup | ariqs | 02:49 |
| ubot5 | ariqs: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 02:49 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, PURGE ALL packages related to PHP and APACHE and let me know when you're done. | 02:49 |
| koro | seamus7: are you sure that this is a feature of compiz and not a default in this version of gnome? | 02:49 |
| bazhang | koro or just go to the #compiz channel | 02:49 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, lol ok | 02:49 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, im starting to think maybe your APT DB is corrupt? | 02:49 |
| tcpdumpgod | =) | 02:49 |
| jonas3d | possible... | 02:49 |
| mouseclon1 | anyone know what .gvfs is in the home directory? | 02:49 |
| seamus7 | koro: no ... but I have changed various transparency settings in compiz and I know that there is a plugin dealing with non-focused windows | 02:49 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, well, they aren't numbered, but there is a line one and line two. | 02:50 |
| x45 | John_S, yes | 02:50 |
| mouseclon1 | i'm trying to work though my sound problem with SB Audigy card and when reloading alsa i get --- can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/mouseclone/.gvfs | 02:50 |
| seamus7 | koro: have you looked at the Trail Focus plugin? | 02:50 |
| photo1 | ops | 02:50 |
| photo1 | sorry :) | 02:50 |
| koro | seamus7: it's disabled | 02:50 |
| wubrgamer | so go>templates in nautilus just takes me to ~/ | 02:50 |
| jrib | mouseclon1: related to gnome VFS would be my guess | 02:50 |
| wubrgamer | not ~/templates | 02:50 |
| koro | and it seems that none of the ones i have enabled deal with this | 02:50 |
| wubrgamer | how do i fix nautilus templates? | 02:51 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: ah ok, because you could just back up known_hosts, delete all the keys and then connect to the new computer and diff both files, then add the other keys. | 02:51 |
| ell | cannot connect to shared windows printer | 02:51 |
| mouseclon1 | jrib: what is that? | 02:51 |
| seamus7 | koro: have you tried disabling compiz and seeing if the transparency goes away on the non-focused window title bars? | 02:51 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, I'll give it a try and see if it is that line one or not, if all else fails I will empty the file | 02:51 |
| John_S | x45: OK, I see. It's up to you, if you really want to give ad-hoc networking a try, probably best to research in the ubuntuforums.org, or post there with all your details, and maybe someone can tell you exactly what you need to do. :) | 02:51 |
| jrib | mouseclon1: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/#sect:gvfs-gio (and I was wrong: Gnome VFS != GVFS) | 02:51 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, synaptics package managers "complete removal" the same as purging? | 02:51 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: ok | 02:51 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, right, that is what I was thinking | 02:51 |
| ell | cannot connect to shared windows printer | 02:51 |
| xubean | hey guys, i've got a very common problem but I still can't seem to solve it, compiz won't show me borders... i've tried everything... doesn't work... nvidia 5950 graphics card... any help is highly appreciated! | 02:51 |
| shane2peru | bbyever, I was just trying to do things the right way, not the bute way. :) | 02:52 |
| mouseclon1 | stupid pidgin .. can't change my nick | 02:52 |
| bbyever | shane2peru: haha ok | 02:52 |
| ariqs | it's a shame these dialup howto help pages don't come with the install. | 02:52 |
| morghanphoenix | Any ideas as to why .desktop links are giving me an "open with" dialog? | 02:52 |
| bazhang | xubean: everything? you got emerald installed and running? window decorations in compiz enabled? | 02:52 |
| ariqs | I have to memorize all these commands or write them down to go back in because I can't get on the net to see how to get on the net ;P | 02:52 |
| koro | seamus7: i'm not sure how to disable compiz completely | 02:52 |
| xubean | bazhang: yep... everything.. i've uninstalled and reinstalled it again... | 02:53 |
| jrib | ariqs: save the page or print it :) | 02:53 |
| ludwi1 | is it just me or does 8.04 seem a little buggy? | 02:53 |
| morghanphoenix | a little? | 02:53 |
| bazhang | koro alt f2 metacity --replace | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | ludwi1, im having issues in several areas. | 02:53 |
| === benzs_s is now known as benzss | ||
| ludwi1 | just trying to sound nice :P | 02:53 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: not just you | 02:53 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, *sigh* done | 02:53 |
| seamus7 | koro: just choose NONE in Appearances/Visual Effects | 02:53 |
| tcpdumpgod | hahah | 02:53 |
| photo1 | if i wanted to play a dvd movie, what sort of apps would i need? | 02:53 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, make SURE its all uninstalled. | 02:53 |
| mouseclone_ | hmm I have an underscore in my name now don't it | 02:53 |
| ohHelloThere | installation "HUH???" http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3545/ubuntuwontinstallsx4.png | 02:53 |
| photo1 | or packages taht is | 02:54 |
| ariqs | ok, well, thanks jrib. I'm complainy, but it's not your fault. This is why I quit using ubuntu in the past and thought it'd be better. Too much messing around to do anything | 02:54 |
| bazhang | totem or movieplayer; vlc will do as well photo1 | 02:54 |
| LainIwakura | . | 02:54 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, do you know of a way to verify everything is gone? | 02:54 |
| xubean | bazhang: any other ideas? | 02:54 |
| morghanphoenix | anyone know how to get .desktop links working again. The icons are gone and when I click them I get an "open with" dialog. The links I made the desktop links from are working just fine though. | 02:54 |
| photo1 | totem says it can't play it for some reason | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | ariqs, i have the exact same problem with my windows machines.. :) so i went to linux. | 02:54 |
| morghanphoenix | just started happening after the dist-upgrade | 02:54 |
| bazhang | xubean: using compiz? what about disabling compiz altogether? | 02:55 |
| ariqs | don't see how, willis. Windows is simple and fast | 02:55 |
| ludwi1 | so anyone know when they will start to bring out bug fixes? hopfully soon | 02:55 |
| ariqs | or xp anyway | 02:55 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, did you change your username? | 02:55 |
| ariqs | haven't tried vista | 02:55 |
| morghanphoenix | Fast? | 02:55 |
| bazhang | photo1: what is the reason | 02:55 |
| morghanphoenix | Nope, same username | 02:55 |
| photo1 | not sure | 02:55 |
| ariqs | yes, it even loads faster for me. :P | 02:55 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ahh, upgrade, are the programs installed? | 02:55 |
| Gibb | help - I have a dual boot setup with ubuntu and windows xp - I was using windows and deleted a rescue partition from hp and encrypted it. Now grub gives me error 17 and I get no boot menu - how do I fix this? Please help! | 02:55 |
| xubean | bazhang: i did that... but that would only bring metacity, which is normal... no border problems.. it's when i run compiz i have no borders.. | 02:55 |
| bazhang | !windows | ariqs | 02:55 |
| ubot5 | ariqs: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents | 02:55 |
| mouseclone_ | hmm gvfs is removing my file manager haha | 02:55 |
| ariqs | anyway, I'm off to try to get dialup working in ubuntu again armed with information | 02:55 |
| bbyever | !upgrade > bbyever | 02:55 |

| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, type the first three letters of my username and hit tab, it will make it stand out in red for me to see. | 02:56 |
| morghanphoenix | Yes, they're still installed, and the menu links work fine. | 02:56 |
| bazhang | xubean: if you dont get good answers here the compiz folks can help no doubt | 02:56 |
| photo1 | an error occurred can't read from resource | 02:56 |
| ohHelloThere | so anyone know why my installer dumps saying it needs 256mb memory when i have it? http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3545/ubuntuwontinstallsx4.png | 02:56 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, Yes, they're installed | 02:56 |
| xubean | bazhang: is there a compiz server or room or something like that I can connect to? | 02:56 |
| nowimproved | lol wtf ? can i install with a emachine emonster 1000b 256 kb cache 128 mb ram 20 gig hard drive 8x cd drive pentium 3 | 02:56 |

| Dr_willis | ohHelloThere, video card may be grabbing some? | 02:56 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ahh, better, or for anyone you chat with, makes it easier :) | 02:56 |
| tcpdumpgod | look on the left hand site jonas3d. | 02:57 |
| bazhang | xubean: #compiz-fusion | 02:57 |
| tcpdumpgod | i - installed | 02:57 |
| ChatMonkey002 | Hi? | 02:57 |
| ohHelloThere | Dr_willis: how can i see whether the video is taking memory? | 02:57 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ok, must be the icons were moved, what programs are we talking about? are they in the menu? | 02:57 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, the icons disappeared and the links give me an open with dialog again | 02:57 |
| John_S | amun_: If you ar usinga wireless card, start by typing "lspci" and see if it finds your wireless card. | 02:57 |
| bazhang | amun broadcom card? | 02:57 |
| morghanphoenix | It's .desktop files, the links are right | 02:58 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, right, are these program shortcuts on the desktop? or documents? | 02:58 |
| fractal420 | amun_ I have a inspiron 1501. I connected it to a wired connection.. it downloaded a driver and then wireless worked. | 02:58 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, shortcuts | 02:58 |
| jackdaw | hey anyone else having problems with GDMGreeter crashing all the time when you start up in hardy? | 02:58 |
| ohHelloThere | bazhang: i have 256... http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3545/ubuntuwontinstallsx4.png | 02:58 |
| Yahuda | Are there anyone having crashes in amd64 version? | 02:58 |
| bazhang | ohHelloThere: is this hardy | 02:58 |
| amun_ | John_S, I do, 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) | 02:58 |
| ohHelloThere | yes | 02:58 |
| joe_ | damn sons | 02:58 |
| Gibb | help - I have a dual boot setup with ubuntu and windows xp - I was using windows and deleted a rescue partition from hp and encrypted it. Now grub gives me error 17 and I get no boot menu - how do I fix this? Please help! | 02:58 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, if they are program files, the easiest way is to click them on the menu, drag and drop them on the desktop, and delete the old ones | 02:58 |
| harris | YEAH | 02:59 |
| Onyx | How can I install a specific version of sudo? Preferably one of my own choosing, or an "older" version than is currently in my repository? My AMD64 version of Hardy is having issues with sudo. | 02:59 |
| rencore_ | Yahuda, what kind | 02:59 |
| photo1 | an error occurred makes perfect sense to me..totem is... really something eh | 02:59 |
| John_S | amun_: OK that's a good start! | 02:59 |
| mouseclone_ | oh and the fuse daemon is compiz | 02:59 |
| xubean | bazhang: thanks a lot man | 02:59 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, they can be edited, but it takes a little more work to find the right icon, etc. | 02:59 |
| Yahuda | rencore_: Freezes. Randomly. | 02:59 |
| morghanphoenix | It's not handling the .desktop files, even with new links, doesn't know how to open them anymore. | 02:59 |
| amun_ | Fractal420, I've done that whole thing, it annoyed me about installing the driver, whatever it did, didn't do anything, I unplugged from the ethernet cable and I had no internet connection. | 02:59 |
| bazhang | ohHelloThere: hardy may need more for livecd you could possibly try the alternate cd but with that little ram it will be sloooow | 02:59 |
| rencore_ | Yahuda, nope | 02:59 |
| Yahuda | Ok. : ) | 02:59 |
| John_S | fractal420: What driver did you download? Try to help arun_ if you know. | 02:59 |
| x45 | how do i get the advanced visualization settings to appear under my system tab | 02:59 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, really, now that is odd. | 02:59 |
| amenado | Gibb-> can you get back your windows okay ? | 02:59 |
| jackdaw | anyone having gdmgreeter problems? it's tedious | 02:59 |
| harris | fun fun fun | 02:59 |
| ohHelloThere | bazhang: im trying to install it, i dont want to use the live cd. the *installer* is dumping | 03:00 |
| bazhang | morghanphoenix: this is gnome? | 03:00 |
| rencore_ | the new nvidia graphics driver messes up older cards | 03:00 |
| amun_ | John_S, I've normally used Kubuntu, GNOME is new to me, and I've never had this problem with KDE So I'm not sure what to do here :S | 03:00 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ok, in the terminal, Applications -> Accessories -> terminal | 03:00 |
| seamus7 | x45 sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager (I think) | 03:00 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, you can type: cd Desktop | 03:00 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, I'm using KDE | 03:00 |
| John_S | amun_: you mean you have your wireless working fine in KDE but not gnome? | 03:00 |
| mouseclone_ | wish me luck.. i don't know if i will boot again | 03:00 |
| bazhang | ohHelloThere: well the minimal iso then--the point being that trying to run hardy on 256 MB ram will hardly be usable imo | 03:00 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ahh, gotta make life difficult for me. lol | 03:00 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, I'm using KDE | 03:00 |
| rainwalker | I put in a Hardy live cd on my sis' laptop, and it said a restricted broadcom driver was available for the wireless card. Now I've installed Hardy on the comp, and it's not listing the driver anymore...help? | 03:00 |
| bazhang | morghanphoenix: kde4? | 03:01 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, do you have KDE 3 or 4 | 03:01 |
| morghanphoenix | Ah, internet disconnect | 03:01 |
| amun_ | John_S, as far as I could tell, yes. I was using a relatively old Kubuntu distro however...Fiesty I think | 03:01 |
| shane2peru | bazhang, do you know about KDE? I'm not up to par with KDE. | 03:01 |
| jackdaw | rainwalker ->l i had a similar biazare problem my wireless was been managed by ndiswrapper in gutsy but hardy seems to use this b43 module | 03:01 |
| ohHelloThere | wow im blown away that it wont install on a machine with 256 ram. :'( | 03:01 |
| jackdaw | rainwalker -> if you check dmesg you might get some info about what firmware things you need | 03:01 |
| x45 | seamus7, couldn't find package | 03:01 |
| John_S | amun_: So you just upgraded to Hardy, and now an't use wireless? | 03:01 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, Can you hear me now? | 03:01 |
| bazhang | shane2peru: just enough to run kde4 ;] | 03:01 |
| morghanphoenix | :P | 03:01 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, http://pastebin.ca/1001249 | 03:01 |
| Kidvid711 | ubuntu is virus free? | 03:01 |
| jackdaw | @ohHelloThere did you try the alt install disc? or the xubuntu distro? | 03:01 |
| ubot5 | jackdaw: Error: "ohHelloThere" is not a valid command. | 03:01 |
| bazhang | morghanphoenix: is this kde4 | 03:01 |
| John_S | amun_: *can't | 03:01 |
| morghanphoenix | Internet connection dropped | 03:01 |
| morghanphoenix | kde3 | 03:02 |
| rrittenhouse | I am trying to add my ssh key into my gnome session with hardy and it keeps proompting me to enter my passphrase and it doesn't appear to be saving it. It worked fine in Gutsy but now in hardy its not. I'm not sure if seahorse has anything to do with it or not | 03:02 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, yes, do you have kde4 or kde3? | 03:02 |
| seamus7 | x45 do a search within synaptic package manager for compiz ... look for the settings manager and choose to install it | 03:02 |
| Maczimus | I have a broadcomm 4318 wireless card....the driver manager DID NOT WORK....you need to go into synaptic package manager and search for fwcutter....install the one with the ubuntu logo next to it....worked for me out of the box on hardy... | 03:02 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ah, ok | 03:02 |
| tcpdumpgod | cool jonas3d | 03:02 |
| tcpdumpgod | now do this one jonas3d | 03:02 |
| tcpdumpgod | aptitude search apache2 |grep "i " | 03:02 |
| photo1 | totem won't play my dvds and i don't know why | 03:02 |
| jackdaw | KidVid711-> not virus free but it's pretty hard to go wrong | 03:02 |
| amun_ | John_S, nope...Not an update. I just downloaded the new ISO off the website, and am using UBUNTU off the LiveCD to see if I like gnome any better, I was told it was easier to work with for a newbie than KDE | 03:02 |
| Joesep1 | ummm I believe I have two XServers running .... how can I tell? | 03:02 |
| shane2peru | bazhang, got any ideas? I'm really not sure about kde3 | 03:02 |
| Gibb | amenado: no! | 03:02 |
| bazhang | Kidvid711: yes no viruses here | 03:02 |
| shane2peru | bazhang, I'm not sure even about kde4. lol | 03:02 |
| ohHelloThere | jackdaw: the alt install i have to burn a cd, i was using the desktop one because it will install from wtihin windows... much easier. i havent trued xubuntu, is it lighter? | 03:02 |
| Kidvid711 | Jackdaw>> cool cool | 03:02 |
| jackdaw | Josesp1 -> ps -e | grep 'Xorg*' | 03:03 |
| Gibb | amenado: I dont even get the grub menu, just error 17 | 03:03 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, I still get the same results as showed in that link | 03:03 |
| rrittenhouse | I just tried installing hardy and it won't find my IDE hd in the livecd install. So sad! :( | 03:03 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, its two different commands, paste it to me. | 03:03 |
| morghanphoenix | I think it's an association thing maybe | 03:03 |
| harris | why is there is more KDE application..... can i use KDE application | 03:03 |
| amun_ | John_S, my thoughts were to use the LiveCD for a week, and see if I enjoy it more :) Unfortunately I can't use the internet without tethering myself to the ethernet cables on my laptop. | 03:03 |
| jackdaw | ohHellothere -> yeah it's much much lighter should work quite well, annoying bc you have to you know burn a cd etc. you could run a VMware image but if youd on' thave the ram i assume your cpu doesn't do vm either | 03:03 |
| tcpdumpgod | Or jonas3d... make sure they all have P's on the left. | 03:03 |
| luser | anyone know how to query and see if a usb device is working? | 03:03 |
| bazhang | rrittenhouse: try adding the boot param all_generic_ide | 03:03 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, I'm not really sure about KDE, however we can give it a stab, do you know how to open the terminal? | 03:03 |
| amenado | Gibb-> you can re-install grub perhaps to correct it? use the liveCD to boot and then re-install grub | 03:03 |
| photo1 | i was thinking about linux..and i got linux lol..it surely makes you work for the fun | 03:03 |
| seamus7 | x45 it's sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:03 |
| rrittenhouse | bazhang: thx | 03:03 |
| ohHelloThere | jackdaw: so xbuntu wont install IN windows like the hardy proper desktop relase? | 03:03 |
| Joesep1 | jackdaw: what will that do? | 03:04 |
| morghanphoenix | because I get a dialog like when I open something I don't have a file type associated with a program, but it's a .desktop link so I'm not sure how it should be set up | 03:04 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, aaaah I do. P=purged? | 03:04 |
| tcpdumpgod | yup yup | 03:04 |
| harris | why is there is more KDE application..... can i use KDE application | 03:04 |
| Gibb | amenado: how do I do that? Im using 8.04 but only have a 7.10 live cd - will that be ok? | 03:04 |
| bazhang | ohHelloThere: this is wubi? | 03:04 |
| harris | why is there is more KDE application?..... can i use KDE application | 03:04 |
| ohHelloThere | bazhang: ??? | 03:04 |
| photo1 | you could use kde applications np | 03:04 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, do you use MSN Messenger? | 03:04 |
| bazhang | harris: sure kde apps work in gnome | 03:04 |
| photo1 | i got amarok works great | 03:04 |
| luser | kubuntu | 03:04 |
| harris | in ubuntu | 03:04 |
| Shortyjacobs | Hey all, I installed 8.04 with Wubi....now I want to migrate it to it's own partition and make it a real, honest-to-god installation of Ubuntu...any suggestions? | 03:04 |
| morghanphoenix | Aye, yakuake is ever present here, switched to ubuntu from slackware :) | 03:04 |
| ludwi1 | what seems more popular, gnome or kde? i'm still kinda newbish to linux. | 03:04 |
| Kidvid711 | I want to learn how to host a server using Ubuntu but I don't know how , and I wonder if someone would teach me :-D I'm not even sure if Ubuntu can be a server | 03:04 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, yeah I do | 03:04 |
| amenado | Gibb-> you can try to use the 7.10 livecd, | 03:04 |
| bazhang | harris ubuntu=gnome | 03:04 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, are you on it now? | 03:04 |
| Fishscene | Kidvid711, what kind of server? | 03:04 |
| John_S | amun_: I see, so if you go under System > admin > network, does it list your wireless connection as an option? | 03:04 |
| seamus7 | ludwi1 personal preference | 03:05 |
| Kidvid711 | Web page, file transfer server type | 03:05 |
| Joesep1 | How do I switch between two xservers I have running? | 03:05 |
| Gibb | amenado: ok, so what all is involved with reinstalling grub? I bet if it goes through and looks at everything again itll work ok | 03:05 |
| harris | sounds great! gnome can use kde application. How about kde can it use gnome application? | 03:05 |
| sp220 | Hello. I have a question. I'm using ubuntu 8.04 with a rather old Intel video card (Intel 915GM). My problem is that scrolling is VERY slow in firefox when compiz fusion is enabled. This was not a problem at all in the last version of ubuntu | 03:05 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, just signed in | 03:05 |
| bazhang | Shortyjacobs: you need to put it on an lvm-- /msg ubotu wubi and read the ubuntuforums link for more info | 03:05 |
| Fishscene | Kidvid711, check out Ubuntu Server with LAMP | 03:05 |
| tcpdumpgod | ok jonas3d did you get my PM? | 03:05 |
| rainwalker | check dmesg? what does that mean? | 03:05 |
| amun_ | John_S, Network Settings came up, it says..."Wireless Connection: ROaming Enabled" but no active connection | 03:05 |
| harris | sounds great! gnome can use kde application. How about kde can it use gnome application? | 03:06 |
| Shortyjacobs | Thanks for the pointers bazhang | 03:06 |
| orudie | is there any reason why apt-get install xmms-dev wont work for me ? | 03:06 |
| photo1 | i understand i have been asking alot of questions here and i am sorry i will be doing some searches :).. | 03:06 |
| bazhang | rainwalker: type dmesg in the terminal | 03:06 |
| jonas3d | tcpdumpgod, no... It seems maybe if it comes in on a different port my router blocks it? | 03:06 |
| amenado | Gibb-> reboot from your livecd and then install grub to your linux partition | 03:06 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, I'm thinking I may should ask on kde, might be a better plan, since I think it may be a problem with the x-desktop file association in kcontrol | 03:06 |
| Kidvid711 | fishscene: Lamp?> | 03:06 |
| John_S | amun_: OK, click on it, click "properties", disable the roaming mode, and select your network from the drop down list... | 03:06 |
| tcpdumpgod | jonas3d, join this channel #mking213 | 03:06 |
| Joesep1 | I believe I just started running two xservers: how do I switch between them? | 03:06 |
| bazhang | Shortyjacobs: you might also consider unetbootin if you want to get more technical--also at the same link ;] | 03:06 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, probably would get a little more knowledgable help. lol :) | 03:06 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, I have used KDE before, but it has been a while | 03:07 |
| Kidvid711 | Fishscene>> Lamp is another program? | 03:07 |
| Fishscene | Kidvid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle) | 03:07 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, I shoulda gone there first, but I was thinking it was a problem with the 8.04 upgrade so I popped in here first. | 03:07 |
| Fishscene | Lamp is kind of a suite of programs for webhosting | 03:07 |
| bazhang | orudie: possibly cos its not in repos? | 03:07 |
| Gibb | amenado: ok, Im kind of a newb. what all is involved wtih reinstalling grub? I type grub, but then what? | 03:07 |
| Joesep1 | or rather: what does the command ps -e | grep 'Xorg*' do? | 03:07 |
| John_S | amun_: Did you make it that far? | 03:07 |
| Kidvid711 | FishScene> Nice, thank you | 03:07 |
| isdepopecath | Have any of you had a problem with not getting any sound while watching flash videos in firefox? | 03:07 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, no prob, wish I could be of more help. | 03:07 |
| Fishscene | NP | 03:07 |
| dmsuperman | Whenever I reboot my computer loses track of the time. This isn't limited to Ubuntu, however I'm figuring you guys might know. It isn't the mobo, though. It still happens even with a new motherboard and processor. Rebooting causes Ubuntu to go 4 hours back, and windows to go 4 hours ahead | 03:07 |
| amun_ | John_S, No network on the dropdown list. | 03:07 |
| Fa | nope no problems | 03:07 |
| amenado | Gibb-> are you booted on livecd now? | 03:07 |
| Gibb | amenado: yeah | 03:08 |
| orudie | bazhang, it is in 7.10 | 03:08 |
| bazhang | orudie: you are now on hardy? | 03:08 |
| amenado | Gibb-> which partition is your linux and specifically your /boot ? | 03:08 |
| amun_ | John_S, wait O_O I found it. | 03:08 |
| John_S | amun_: Did you say earlier you did a "sudo iwlist scan" and it returned your network? I think bazhang asked you to do that. | 03:09 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, ahh, this has to do with the system clock being set to UTC time, or not being set to UTC time | 03:09 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, Just figured it out myself | 03:09 |
| amun_ | John_S, weird...it must take some time to show up...Let me see if it works :D | 03:09 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, Great! glad to hear it. | 03:09 |
| matthew | Hi. Since Gutsy only VHF channels work with ivtv, what could be the issue? | 03:09 |
| Onyx | I have a custom .deb package that I want to install using apt-get install. How can I get apt to recognize my custom (locally contained) file as the version I want it to install? | 03:09 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, something added a seccond association for .desktop links in kcontrol and they conflicted and bugged the whole thing. | 03:09 |
| John_S | amun_: OK, are you using encryption? You'll have to set that if you are. | 03:09 |
| joanjoseph | hi i need help on how to install compizconfig in hardy. in terminal | 03:09 |
| joanjoseph | what should i type in? | 03:09 |
| amenado | Onyx-> use dpkg -i packagename.deb | 03:09 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, It started up suddenly though, on a previous motherboard. I have a new mobo now, and it still does it. Is this in the BIOS though? Should I set it to UTC or not to? | 03:09 |
| Gibb | amenado: boot is on the same one as ubuntu which is /dev/hda3 the swap is /dev/hda5 | 03:10 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, ha ha, I don't think I would have ever gotten that fixed. | 03:10 |
| bazhang | onyx dpkg -i file.deb | 03:10 |
| Onyx | amenado: thanks | 03:10 |
| seamus7 | joanjoseph sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:10 |
| amun_ | John_S, I am, and I did :) I need to unplug my laptop from the ethernet and see if it's working, so if it's not, I'll be right back! | 03:10 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, I can't remember what Windows does, the standard in Linux is to have the system time set to UTC and it adjusts accordingly. | 03:10 |
| John_S | amun_: OK, good luck. :) | 03:10 |
| morghanphoenix | shane2peru, I feel kinda dumb after how easy it was, looking for something complicated when the answer was as simple as it could possibly be :) | 03:10 |
| Onyx | bazhang: Will this replace the current version? | 03:10 |
| isdepopecath | Have any of you had a problem with not getting any sound while watching flash videos in firefox? | 03:10 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, I'm guessing windows doesn't do that, that is why it there is a 4 hour difference between the two OS | 03:11 |
| Onyx | isdepopecath: Are you using ndiswrapper? | 03:11 |
| bazhang | onyx no idea about that--you made the file after all ;] | 03:11 |
| shane2peru | morghanphoenix, hey, happens to everyone. lol | 03:11 |
| joanjoseph | thank you | 03:11 |
| isdepopecath | Onyx: ndiswrapper? What's that? | 03:11 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, That would make sense, only they're both 4 hours off | 03:11 |
| Gibb | amenado: no its /dev/hda2 sorry | 03:11 |
| amenado | Gibb-> try install-grub --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda3 | 03:11 |
| bazhang | isdepopecath: this is 64bit? | 03:11 |
| amenado | Gibb-> try install-grub --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda2 | 03:11 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, For example, right now it's 10PM. Ubuntu says 6PM, and if I were to boot into windows it would say 2AM tomorrow | 03:11 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, hmm, that is odd, 4 hours both in oposite directions? | 03:11 |
| Gibb | ok thanks | 03:12 |
| isdepopecath | bazhang: No, 32 bit | 03:12 |
| vmwarer | hi everyone | 03:12 |
| photo1 | i have libdvdread3 is that enough to play dvds? | 03:12 |
| vmwarer | just upgraded to 8.0.4 LTS | 03:12 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, Plus, even keeping it sync'ed with the internet (both in windows and ubuntu) gives me the same time (4 hours off both ways) | 03:12 |
| bazhang | isdepopecath: listening to youtube and something else at the same time? | 03:12 |
| amenado | Gibb-> grub-install i have the words backwards | 03:12 |
| klobster | hello! | 03:12 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, hmm, that is odd, perhaps check in the BIOS | 03:12 |
| isdepopecath | bazhang: I've got rhythmbox open, but it isn't currently playing anytihng | 03:12 |
| luser | how do you see if a usb device is reco'ed? | 03:12 |
| feraliminal | Anybody have a serial Wacom tablet working? If so, couldyou post your xorg.conf to pastebin.ca. | 03:12 |
| Gibb | amenado: ok | 03:13 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, do you have your timezones set correctly? Perhaps in windows it is the -4 and Ubuntu is +4? | 03:13 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, I shall, I was just hoping somebody here would know. It doesn't seem like a BIOS issue, since a new mobo didn't fix it (and no, I didn't buy a new mobo just to fix it :P) | 03:13 |
| vmwarer | has anyone encountered issue with vmware-workstation 6.0 install? | 03:13 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, Nope, both are set to New York | 03:13 |
| renfrew | anyone know the name the the package that installs missing packages? like when you type 'fglrxinfo' from the command line and you get a message to install xorg-driver-fglrx.... | 03:13 |
| koro | i just installed the sun java (jre and bin) packages, but firefox still claims that i don't have java, did i miss somehting? | 03:13 |
| vmwarer | with ubuntu 8 | 03:13 |
| drivetrax | dmsuperman, -- I noticed my hours were wrong when I installed 7.10. I set Ubuntu time, and closed out booted WinXP.. set it.. and rebooted back to ubuntu.. so far, so good | 03:13 |
| koro | should i install some plugin too? | 03:13 |
| photo1 | isdepopecath: i had this problem | 03:13 |
| Wyzard | dmsuperman: Windows only supports keeping the BIOS clock in local time | 03:13 |
| klobster | I am having issues with adept | 03:13 |
| dmsuperman | drivetrax, every time I reboot | 03:13 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, hmm, I'm not sure, more complex than I suspected. :) sorry | 03:13 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, no problems | 03:13 |
| isdepopecath | photol: Did you? Did you fix it? | 03:13 |
| Gibb | amenado: says cannot create directory '/boot/boot' | 03:13 |
| drivetrax | dmsuperman, -- not for me, no | 03:14 |
| Wyzard | dmsuperman: You should configure Ubuntu to expect the BIOS clock in local time, so it won't apply an additional timezone adjustment | 03:14 |
| photo1 | go to system->preferences | 03:14 |
| harris | magandang umaga noypi | 03:14 |
| photo1 | then sound, make sure your using alsa as the mixer for sound | 03:14 |
| vmwarer | even I tried the any-any-update for vmware... still no good... | 03:14 |
| bazhang | harris english please | 03:14 |
| dmsuperman | Wyzard, So should I change the BIOS time to match current time, then set the time offset to +0 in Ubuntu (GMT timezone)? | 03:14 |
| isdepopecath | photol: I just fixed it, all I had to do with close rhythmbox. Weird | 03:14 |
| amenado | Gibb-> okay, do this first, mount /dev/hda2 to /mnt and see the dir structure, ie if you have /boot there? | 03:14 |
| DJDarkstar | anyone know if realplayer 11 (helix based) is capable of playing DVDs like it's windows counterpart? | 03:14 |
| isdepopecath | bazhang: I just fixed it, all I had to do with close rhythmbox. Weird | 03:14 |
| photo1 | you didn't fix it | 03:14 |
| vmwarer | I am kinda stuck and not sure what to do next.... any kind soul can give me some hints | 03:15 |
| Gibb | yeah | 03:15 |
| amun_ | John_S, it didn't work :( | 03:15 |
| Mike2008999 | hello | 03:15 |
| photo1 | isdepopecath: just check your preferences and make sure your mixer is alsa | 03:15 |
| renfrew | anyone know the name the the package that installs missing packages? like when you type 'fglrxinfo' from the command line and you get a message to install xorg-driver-fglrx.... | 03:15 |
| John_S | amun_: OK, what happened? | 03:15 |
| isdepopecath | photol: Oh, ok. | 03:15 |
| Gibb | amenado: yeah boot is a folder under /dev/hda2 | 03:15 |
| photo1 | isdepopecath: i thought i fixed it before also..but once i played a flash movie then..some mp3 sound one of them didn't come out | 03:15 |
| isdepopecath | photol: It has been | 03:15 |
| amun_ | John_S, I have the network there, I BELIEVE it's a WPA2 password type...I have it set at automatic configuration...And there's no connection :( | 03:15 |
| orudie | is there a way to manually adjust the fan speed on my nvidia 8800 gt ? | 03:16 |
| amenado | Gibb-> try grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/hda2 see if this works | 03:16 |
| koro | any help with my java? :( | 03:16 |
| photo1 | oh ok cool can you play flash plus music now without a problem? | 03:16 |
| Gibb | amenado: ok | 03:16 |
| John_S | amun_: Is your router using encryption? Do you have access to the router? (I hope it's yours) :) | 03:16 |
| ApOgEE- | hi, is there any way to install mssql server on ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| heroz | Hello, i have little problem... i updated my computer and all like that and the sound from Firefox don't work.. like youtube videos and more... sombody know what is wrong ? | 03:17 |

| amun_ | John_S, No it doesn't, and it is mine ;) | 03:17 |
| amenado | ApOgEE--> why would you want to insist on running a microsoft product on linux? | 03:17 |
| rainwalker | are there broadcom wireless drivers in Hardy? | 03:17 |
| photo1 | amenado: sometimes you have to run windows products on linux | 03:17 |
| bazhang | heroz: you are playing music as well as flash videos? | 03:17 |
| amun_ | John_S, err, yes it does* O_O Sorry | 03:17 |
| klobster | anyone to help me? | 03:17 |
| amenado | photo1-> not a database for production would you? | 03:17 |
| John_S | amun_: OK :D | 03:18 |
| Fa | klobster try the forums | 03:18 |
| isdepopecath | photol: I can't do both at the same time. | 03:18 |
| ApOgEE- | amenado, i got a friend who need mssql server for his work, i don't know why he insist to use it maybe for compatibility with his main server | 03:18 |
| John_S | amun_: So do you know your encryption key? | 03:18 |
| photo1 | amenado: no not that but i wouldn't mind a proper cad program on linux | 03:18 |
| klobster | the forums. | 03:18 |
| klobster | k thx bye! /sarcasm | 03:18 |

| bazhang | !grub | snadge | 03:18 |
| ubot5 | snadge: 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 | 03:18 |
| John_S | amun_: And do you know what type of encryption? WEP? WPA? etc. | 03:18 |
| heroz | bazhang, the music work fine but not the videos @ firefox like youtupe youporn and all kind of flash video | 03:18 |
| amenado | ApOgEE--> maybe you can use virtualbox or vmware and install xp on it | 03:18 |
| amun_ | John_S, yep...I'm pretty sure it's WPA2, it's a LinkSys Wireless-G if that means anything | 03:18 |
| ApOgEE- | we've tried to install mssql server under wine but the installer just didn't work | 03:18 |
| Mike2008999 | hello..were can i find themes for ubuntu??? | 03:18 |

| bazhang | heroz: and what happens when you quit completely (not just close but quit completely) the music player? | 03:19 |
| ApOgEE- | which one is lighter, virtualbox or vmware? | 03:19 |

| Mike2008999 | already | 03:19 |
| photo1 | make sure all your sounds are being mixed by alsa | 03:19 |
| Mike2008999 | any other? | 03:19 |
| ds2010 | virtual box is smaller | 03:19 |
| John_S | amun_: Why don't you check your router and make sure--go to http://192.168.1.1 which most likely will be your router setup webpage. | 03:19 |
| zelrikriando | Mike2008999: what s wrong with gnome-look? | 03:19 |
| ds2010 | quicker D/L and u dont have to get a serial | 03:19 |

| SupaRice | Where is the proper place to ask n00b questions about install? I'm trying to do software raid install with ALT 7.10 disk | 03:52 |
| astro76 | ommegang: and it's actually official for 8.04 despite that factoid | 03:52 |
| USN1520 | why do I always get booted | 03:52 |
| ariqs | coldfire: I'm chatting from it now. it took me forever to get connected with this dialup. I have to do it in a terminal it seems. When I connect with network, it makes the modem click to dialup then stops | 03:52 |
| Knight488 | Can someone help me with a: ./filename.run --keep error? | 03:52 |

| USN1520 | why is that? | 03:53 |
| Jebtrix | some yeah | 03:53 |
| astro76 | SgtMuffins: then choose application, and make the command "nautilus /home/peter" | 03:53 |

| ghfreak51 | SupaRice, do you have more then one disk drive? | 03:54 |
| SupaRice | k20a - yes | 03:54 |
| astro76 | ommegang: somehow you boot into it separately, I've never used it | 03:54 |
| whonicca | is there any reason why im not able to auto complete in gnome terminal when starting off a command with sudo, i have never had this problem b4, fresh install of hardy heron | 03:54 |

| ghfreak51 | integrated | 03:55 |
| SupaRice | I've tried Nero, and also Burn4free | 03:55 |
| whonicca | i do have a separate home partition but this was formatted | 03:55 |
| ghfreak51 | supa... | 03:55 |
| Jebtrix | its adds grub and looks like it mounts the livecd iso for wubi | 03:55 |
| Jebtrix | if your using nvdia raid dont bother with wubi | 03:55 |
| brrybnds | Shadow_X: no problems here setting static ip w/ 7.10 | 03:55 |

| Onyx | This is so goddamn frustrating.... has anyone else here just had sudo segfault on them consistently for no apparent reason? It's very difficult to have a useable desktop at home when this is happening. | 03:57 |
| comerc | hey all | 03:57 |
| ghfreak51 | i hate having my resolution at 800x600 how can i fix it?! | 03:57 |
| ommegang | astro76: reason i wanna dual boot is my atsc tuner wont work in a vista VM since it doesnt see pci-express hardware so i wanted to dedicate like 50gb or so for vista and rest of my 500gb for linux / vm's etc .. | 03:57 |
| comerc | hey all | 03:57 |
| ericrw | Onyx: that shouldn't happen unless you've got something seriously wrong with your hardware, or your system libraries (the latter could happen if they've been compromised or you've got a harddrive failure, etc) | 03:58 |
| comerc | can anyone help me with a first time install of ubunt | 03:58 |
| Jebtrix | what video card u got ghfreak | 03:58 |
| Onyx | I've tried installing the old gutsy sudo, the latest, most bleeding edge sudo, reinstallingall of my pam packages, installing the older pam packages.... | 03:58 |
| USN1520 | comerc whats up? | 03:58 |
| ghfreak51 | it's just an integrated sony | 03:58 |
| k20a | blah search compiz and compiz-settings manager then enable effects in system-preferences-appearance | 03:58 |
| Onyx | ericrw: Everything was working fine before my "upgrade" to Hardy Heron. | 03:58 |
| ericrw | Onyx: ah, well then, you've borked your own system ;) | 03:58 |
| SupaRice | anybody know if there is trouble installing vmware server on 8.1 ? | 03:58 |
| Shadow_X | brrybnds, strange. because my install works fine one time, then if something drops it, it acts up. how can you refresh the DNS entries without using the stupid GNOME thing? | 03:58 |
| Onyx | ericrw: By upgrading? | 03:58 |
| USN1520 | comerc do youhave a specific question? | 03:58 |
| sparr__ | how can i switch from mythbuntu to kubuntu startup/shutdown screens? | 03:58 |
| comerc | USN, i have recently tried to install ubuntu on a windows 98 machine using the standard iso install CD from ubuntu... after it goes through the loading process the screen goes blank | 03:58 |
| Jebtrix | hrm, well sony didnt do video so it can only be like Intel Extreme Integrated, ATI integrated, etc. which is it | 03:58 |
| SupaRice | where do I find the MD5 for the ISO? | 03:59 |
| USN1520 | where at the install is it blanking | 03:59 |
| comerc | i tried to use the text based installer because i thought it was a graphics issue, but same thing | 03:59 |
| k20a | i also have res problems since 8.04 i can't find the same administration screen i used to use to select which monitor i am using | 03:59 |
| astro76 | whonicca: edit /etc/bash.bashrc and uncomment the three lines below "# enable bash completion in interactive shells" | 03:59 |
| ericrw | Onyx: well, even if the upgraded failed, what you're saying is that you did a bunch of things since then that makes it practically impossible to support you :P | 03:59 |
| whonicca | theone_, any ideas? | 03:59 |
| ghfreak51 | well yea intel integrated in a sony | 03:59 |
| USN1520 | supa they reside on the mirror where you dloaded | 03:59 |
| comerc | it goes blank, as in the monitor stops getting a signal | 03:59 |
| blah569 | I have compiz-core already installed, how would I go about finding it? | 03:59 |
| USN1520 | comerc did you get a good install | 03:59 |
| Jebtrix | only problem i had with extreme intel integrated at work was that i was using a KVM switch | 03:59 |
| comerc | it goes blank right after the orange bar loads | 03:59 |
| === dmb_ is now known as dmb | ||
| comerc | yeah the install is fine i have tried both CDs | 03:59 |
| USN1520 | sounds lke X is failing | 03:59 |
| USN1520 | what does dmesg say | 04:00 |
| k20a | blah make sure you also have settings manager installed then enable effects in your appearance like i said before | 04:00 |
| SupaRice | i'll check that, bbl | 04:00 |
| SupaRice | tahnks | 04:00 |
| rokumanxes | how, or where do i get pidgen from? | 04:00 |
| Onyx | ericrw: You're missing what I was saying. Immediately after the STANDARD upgrade, sudo was failing on me. That's why I tried this other stuff (and have since reverted back to the STANDARD upgrade stuff). Are you honestly trying to say that sudo is supposed to break on an upgrade? | 04:00 |
| aceop | Evening, all. Do I have to take a number? :) | 04:00 |
| k20a | blah then you can find it under preferences | 04:00 |
| comerc | dmesg? | 04:00 |
| USN1520 | guess it is hard to see that huh? | 04:00 |
| theone_ | whonicca, did you see what astro76 said? | 04:00 |
| whonicca | astro76, ok done | 04:00 |
| comerc | haha yeah | 04:00 |
| whonicca | let me try now | 04:00 |
| USN1520 | dmesg is a log file | 04:00 |
| luser | anyone know of a good virt cd app? I don't want to mount it normally, looking for something ala daemon tools or alcohol | 04:00 |
| comerc | the monitor shuts off as if the graphics card was having an issue | 04:00 |
| whonicca | astro76 u my hero | 04:01 |
| USN1520 | can you boot into the live cd to fix | 04:01 |
| whonicca | what did i do wrong? | 04:01 |
| ericrw | Onyx: I'm not saying that, I'm saying that after trying "the other stuff" it might be harder to fix the original issue of sudo breaking | 04:01 |
| comerc | what do you mean? i was booting into the live CD | 04:01 |
| whonicca | astro76, and why havent I ever have to do that | 04:01 |
| USN1520 | after you installed? | 04:01 |
| comerc | the only CD that works is the text based install, and that just works till the orange bar loads at the end of formatting and all that | 04:01 |
| RandomUsr | is anyone able to assist me with alsa? | 04:01 |
| Onyx | ericrw: No.... because everything has been put back to its original state. Anyway, do you have any idea how to fix that issue? | 04:01 |
| dudus | luser: whats the meter on mounting it as usual? | 04:01 |
| SupaRice | --MD5 is good | 04:01 |
| ericrw | Onyx: I'd suggest trying to manually force a reinstall of libc and pam. | 04:02 |
| USN1520 | oh i see | 04:02 |
| comerc | the live CD just goes blank as soon as the orange bar loads | 04:02 |
| USN1520 | Supa it took me three frisbees to determine my burner was shot | 04:02 |
| comerc | so in the text based install i just get a bit further basically | 04:02 |
| blah569 | How do I find the compiz fusion? | 04:02 |
| ericrw | (and make sure they're coming from hardy) | 04:02 |
| blah569 | It aprears as if I already have it installed. | 04:02 |
| USN1520 | yeah definitely sounds like an X issue | 04:02 |
| astro76 | whonicca: well the default ~/.bashrc, at least for gutsy and earlier, has those uncommented. somehow sudo changed in hardy and is not using the user environment | 04:02 |
| ericrw | Onyx: also, check your system for any packages that are NOT from hardy | 04:02 |
| blah569 | And a lot of other Compiz-Fusion objects installed. | 04:02 |
| USN1520 | not sure where to go | 04:02 |
| SupaRice | hrmm | 04:02 |
| comerc | X issue? | 04:02 |
| aceop | I'm experiencing freezing with Hardy installed. I could only get the LiveCD to work by working in safe graphics mode and noapic nolapic and the other option. | 04:02 |
| melancholia | hey there.. | 04:02 |
| brrybnds | Shadow_X: that's beyond my abilities, I'm newish to ubuntu - just able to confirm that I had no issues with it, was straight forward (unlike most networking stuff I seem to come across) | 04:02 |
| dudus | comerc: i'd suggest to remmove the quiet and splash modifiers and see where exactly it hangs | 04:02 |
| astro76 | whonicca: now it's set for all users, including root | 04:02 |
| theone_ | blah569, yeah, you just need the seetings manager | 04:03 |
| whonicca | astro76, is this an issue for everyone though, or is it isolated to a certain few? | 04:03 |
| ChuanQi | hi all | 04:03 |
| comerc | dudus how can i do that? | 04:03 |
| Jebtrix | search compiz icon in Add/Remove | 04:03 |
| SupaRice | i did get an error from Nero, something about power calibration, i just figured it was winblows | 04:03 |
| Onyx | ericrw: I'll give the libc reinstall a shot. How can I check for non-hardy packages? | 04:03 |
| Shadow_X | brrybnds, ah its cool. i was just wondering | 04:03 |
| USN1520 | you said the screen goes blank yeah | 04:03 |
| comerc | yeah | 04:03 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| astro76 | whonicca: I'd imagine it's the same for everyone | 04:03 |
| blah569 | Where do I find the settings manager? The Syntac Package Manager? | 04:03 |
| ChuanQi | i had some wireless network question on 8.04 released on WPA | 04:03 |
| k20a | blah you have to go into system-preferences-appearance and enable it | 04:03 |
| Jebtrix | search compiz icon in Add/Remove | 04:03 |
| melancholia | can i auto mount my volumes ?? i use Hardy Heron Ubuntu | 04:03 |
| whonicca | astro76, my friends that use hardy say they dont have the problem though | 04:03 |
| astro76 | whonicca: I'm still on gutsy ;) | 04:03 |
| whonicca | oh | 04:03 |
| USN1520 | well you need a burner that data checks the disc, brasero is good k3b better | 04:03 |
| ommegang | so, the easiest way to dual boot is to use the webui? | 04:04 |
| ChuanQi | how can i manually create a profile of WPA setting? | 04:04 |
| ehc | i can't find a problem with my sound system but it isn't working. | 04:04 |
| Daisuke-Ido | SupaRice: the power calibration error usually means evil drive | 04:04 |
| k20a | blah yes settings manager is in synaptic | 04:04 |
| whonicca | me being a clean install would think id have the same things as them | 04:04 |
| dudus | comerc: when you're on the screen that you choose how to boot the machine, the one with install, boot from hd and stuff..... try the first option and press F6 to set more options | 04:04 |
| rokumanxes | can anyone help me get pidgin? | 04:04 |
| theone_ | yeah. search for compiz settings manager. it will give you more options running compiz | 04:04 |
| k20a | installed it will be in system-preferences-advanced desktop effects settings | 04:04 |
| === jantan is now known as Guest | ||
| Daisuke-Ido | rokumanxes: applications > internet > pidgin | 04:04 |
| Daisuke-Ido | it's installed by default. | 04:04 |
| comerc | ohh okay, and then see where it hangs... installation wise? | 04:04 |
| USN1520 | roku do you need pidgin installed | 04:04 |
| astro76 | whonicca: they possibly have it uncommented in /root/.bashrc, not sure | 04:04 |
| melancholia | @rokmaxes..u can get it from Synaptic | 04:04 |
| ubot5 | melancholia: Error: "rokmaxes..u" is not a valid command. | 04:04 |
| Jebtrix | anybody actuall get the compiz Rain affect to work? | 04:04 |
| k20a | how do i make terminal display my hardware | 04:04 |
| dudus | comerc: then it will give you a command line that it uses to boot the kernel.... just remove the quiet and splash words | 04:04 |
| whonicca | on a clean install? | 04:05 |
| whonicca | =\ | 04:05 |
| k20a | jebtrix yeah it works fine for me | 04:05 |
| whonicca | why would mine be commented | 04:05 |
| whonicca | strange | 04:05 |
| Jebtrix | crap | 04:05 |
| FloodBot1 | whonicca: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:05 |
| comerc | okay cool ill try that | 04:05 |
| USN1520 | dudus is that so he can see what fails? | 04:05 |
| Jebtrix | i tried on 3 comps so far :( | 04:05 |
| * whonicca hugs FloodBot1 | 04:05 | |
| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u | ||

| dmsuperman | And it just hangs | 04:05 |
| dmsuperman | Any clue what that's about? | 04:06 |
| k20a | jebtrix after you enable it it is shift+f9 to toggle | 04:06 |
| SupaRice | would it be OK to burn an ISO from the program that comes with Ubuntu Studio for install? | 04:06 |
| Jebtrix | wonder if nm means nmi | 04:06 |
| melancholia | i want some help to auto mount my media volumes | 04:06 |
| astro76 | whonicca: oh you fresh installed hardy... perhaps the default in /etc/skel/.bashrc is now commented instead of uncommented in hardy, check that file and if it's commented out that's what happened | 04:06 |
| RandomUsr | oh well, I love hardy even if my sound doesn't work | 04:06 |
| Jebtrix | i tried the toggles, but nothin happens | 04:06 |

| atlanix-org | I will be really great full if someone can help me out on this one. I have resolved all errors with sound. ALSA and pulseaudio. pulseaudio doesn't show my Audigy card in the mixer. | 04:06 |
| k20a | jebtrix did you select it in compiz settings? | 04:06 |
| sammyF_ | how can I set nautilus to have an "open with ..." option? it used to have one prior to 8.04 | 04:06 |
| USN1520 | Rando, what sound car ddo yo uhave | 04:06 |

| Carbonflux | installing a fresh version of 8.04, it is not coming close to detecting my monitor | 04:07 |
| blah569 | I checked the compiz-settings-manager, is it installing now? It tells me "2 to Install/Upgrade" in the bottom. | 04:07 |
| RandomUsr | USN1520 snd-hda-intel | 04:07 |
| comerc | but i deleted the word quiet | 04:07 |
| comerc | is that all i should do? | 04:07 |
| Daisuke-Ido | did hardy re-default to bash? | 04:07 |
| USN1520 | that wouldn't be hard to config fo rlinux thinking... | 04:08 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, I rebooted, and my BIOS now has the correct time | 04:08 |
| dudus | comerc: then press ctrl+alt+F1 to get the messages | 04:08 |
| astro76 | then again anyone working in bash should learn about .bashrc ;) | 04:08 |
| Daisuke-Ido | i know gutsy defaulted to dash (what a mistake that was) | 04:08 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, however Ubuntu is still 4 hours off. What should I be setting it to? | 04:08 |

| RandomUsr | USN1520: from what I can tell I need to compile Alsa from source | 04:08 |

| Fa | it is? | 04:08 |
| dudus | USN1520: that's why we're here right? | 04:08 |

| Carbonflux | it looks like a fisheye heh | 04:09 |
| Fa | silly | 04:09 |
| Fa | lol | 04:09 |
| USN1520 | yeah they have a good website for that with prety good docs and a list of supported cards | 04:09 |
| blah569 | How do I "apply" a mark changed? | 04:09 |
| shane2peru | dmsuperman, hmm, I just remember that in the install or many installs it always asks if my clock is set to UTC time, and I check yes., let me see if there is somewhere to set that after install | 04:09 |
| USN1520 | just google alsa | 04:09 |
| dmsuperman | shane2peru, awesome, thanks | 04:09 |
| Carbonflux | I don't understand why this is so hard, this must be Ubuntu's Zen Flaw or something | 04:09 |
| Fa | what is google? | 04:09 |
| RandomUsr | USN1520: I did, but I have no idea how to do it | 04:09 |

| USN1520 | exaile rocks! | 04:16 |
| Carbonflux | theone_, why Ubuntu can't just detect a basic proper scan rate for a monitor, I was hoping this would be addressed in 8.04, there is nothing weird about my machines either, no other distro has this problem nor does windows | 04:16 |
| astro76 | whonicca: oh and you didn't use a previous /home partition? | 04:16 |
| kipmix | what cmd should i run to find out what card i have? | 04:16 |
| whonicca | astro76, yes, only thing related to the previous install was that i mounted my second hard drive into my /home/user/storage directoy | 04:16 |
| kipmix | i know its not the N one. | 04:16 |
| kipmix | b/g for sure | 04:16 |
| whonicca | astro76, i used the same partition as b4, but i did specify to format | 04:17 |
| bazhang | lspci for pci card kipmix | 04:17 |
| Carbonflux | Jebtrix, you mean /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 04:17 |
| whonicca | so everything should have been gone | 04:17 |
| astro76 | whonicca: hmm perhaps there's a bug in the installer that prevented skel from being copied because of the mount point | 04:17 |
| theone_ | Carbonflux, never had that problem myself. could it be the type of monitor? | 04:17 |
| k20a | how can i display system info in terminal | 04:17 |
| astro76 | whonicca: feel free to copy the contents of /etc/skel to your ~/ now ;) | 04:17 |

| ubot5 | Mattevt: 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. :-) | 04:32 |
| shamus | wynd: I think that's causing it. | 04:32 |

| Iago1989 | Woo, crowded! Anyway, here's my question: I've seen a lot of people with the brightness problem, and I have the NVIDIA driver and desktop effects work, but the fn+f5 or fn+f6 keys dont work, neither does the brightness applet on the top panel. It's stuck at a low brightness | 04:33 |
| bazhang | ChuanQi: please ask questions in channel for the edification of all thanks | 04:33 |
| shamus | popcornsgood: I'll try it, it can always be reversed. | 04:33 |
| popcornsgood | why do I not have write permissions to a hard drive i'm mouting in the fstab with the option rw? | 04:33 |
| AlabamaHit_ | anyone help with being stuck at login screen | 04:34 |
| USN1520 | AlabamaHit_ I am hearing you just don't have an answer | 04:34 |
| wynd | this is the first time i've used firefox 3, so i'm not sure... Does it totally eat resources on anyone else's machine? Right now my load is 0.05 but when I run Firefox (esp. with Flash) it jumps up to ~0.8 | 04:34 |
| AlabamaHit_ | Its wierd you can hear the login sound but it just comes right back to the username screen | 04:35 |

| Ademan | has anyone else had trouble with gnome 'forgetting' their network places in hardy? | 04:35 |
| shamus | wynd: yeah, it's using about 400mb of ram on my machine right now | 04:35 |
| USN1520 | firefox is like twice the footprint of IE that sicks | 04:35 |
| USN1520 | sucks | 04:35 |
| DarkLordVenom | from what I hear firefox 3 plugs over 300 memory leaks | 04:35 |
| schitzo | ? | 04:35 |
| wynd | and opens 300 more? | 04:35 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | wynd: yep.. try flashblock if u have flashplugins enabled | 04:35 |
| Jebtrix | its twice as good though ;) | 04:35 |
| Carbonflux | FF3 seems good but it does break a lot of plugins | 04:35 |
| Carbonflux | that I like | 04:35 |
| popcornsgood | wynd: i get surprisingly high cpu usage when i'm watching flash video too | 04:35 |
| wynd | ubuntung-pino1: i have noscript, which solves all the problems except youtube ;) | 04:35 |
| DarkLordVenom | isn't it still in beta? | 04:36 |
| Iago1989 | Ademan: Yes, I'm having that problem as well, my WPA key is forgotten | 04:36 |
| USN1520 | yepit is | 04:36 |
| ericrw | Ademan: personally, my experience with Network-Manager is to run, run far far away. Its a shame, because the alternative is to edit /etc/network/interfaces :) | 04:36 |
| prettyricky | curious on how to add a splash when booting,.,, I go to add one and wont find it.. any suggestions | 04:36 |
| USN1520 | but why would a browser need that much memory | 04:36 |
| astro76 | Ademan: I would expect that, gnome is using a different software now (gnome-vfs) for mounting filesystems in hardy | 04:36 |
| Iago1989 | Does nobody have an answer for my brightness problem? | 04:36 |
| wynd | popcornsgood: i just installed hardy the other day, i'm coming from slackware, i didn't know whether it was firefox 3 or the default ubuntu install so it's nice to see someone else with the same problem | 04:36 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | wynd: im gonna go try that coz presently, it still eats up a lot of resources | 04:36 |
| whonicca | astro76, thanks so much =) | 04:36 |
| kipmix | ok, i think i can pm now, anyone want to help me getting my wireless card working? its a broadcom | 04:36 |
| shamus | wynd: every time I play a video (or the flash plugin is in use) audio playback from all other applications stop. does that happen to you too? | 04:37 |
| Jebtrix | i swore i saw a gamma control for that Iago1989 | 04:37 |
| ChuanQi | bazhang:my question on the WPA is any way to create a WPA network profile? | 04:37 |
| Jebtrix | or at least a utility | 04:37 |
| wynd | shamus: not that i know of, that sounds like a sound card issue | 04:37 |
| wynd | let me try | 04:37 |
| raginginsideme3 | I am a first time ubuntu user/installer, and as I went to install ubuntu I keep getting this "errno 5 input/output error" around like 22% during setup, I did some googling but have not found a solution, any help? | 04:37 |
| Curs0r | Is there any way to normalize the audio during playback within totem? | 04:37 |
| ChuanQi | the network tools only allow me to create WEP profile but not the WPA profilę wondering what is the issue | 04:37 |
| shamus | wynd: well, I think it's a flash and FF3b5 issue, as 7.10 didn't do this just a few days ago. | 04:37 |
| cabrioleur | raginginsideme3, it sounds like your CD is a little damaged. | 04:38 |
| USN1520 | raging sounds like you are installing with a bad disc | 04:38 |
| Iago1989 | How come I got skipped? Or does that mean there is no answer? | 04:38 |
| Jebtrix | i replied | 04:38 |
| raginginsideme3 | well I've burned two different copies at 4x? how could they be bad? | 04:38 |
| Iago1989 | oh I didnt see | 04:38 |
| bazhang | ChuanQi: if you are on roaming---used at starbucks for example--then they would need to tell you the wpa pass to get in (if they used one) | 04:38 |
| Jebtrix | look for a gamma utility | 04:38 |
| USN1520 | Iago, I have brightness keys i cant help you | 04:38 |
| Jebtrix | i swore i seen one | 04:38 |
| Iago1989 | now I see it | 04:38 |
| wynd | shamus: no, i don't have that problem | 04:38 |
| popcornsgood | ok i tried changing the ownership of the documents partition i have to fix my lack of write permissions problem, but even when using sudo, it says i dont have permission to do so. does anyone know how to solve my problem? | 04:38 |
| cabrioleur | raginginsideme3, maybe your iso is corrupted? | 04:38 |
| USN1520 | raging check the md5sum | 04:38 |
| raginginsideme3 | I did, no problems | 04:39 |
| shamus | wynd: alright, well im moving back to 7.10 tomorrow anyway. | 04:39 |
| raginginsideme3 | one was from bittorrent one was from the ubuntu website | 04:39 |

| USN1520 | disc check on startuop was good too | 04:39 |
| LadyNikon | i just got my desktop working the way i want too heh | 04:39 |
| popcornsgood | genii: so how do I give my second hard drive write permissions? | 04:39 |
| === ZehRique_ is now known as ZehRique | ||
| ChuanQi | bazhang: my problem is it doesn't show 'wpa' option for the encryption type | 04:40 |
| bazhang | LadyNikon: best to wait for bugs and documentation to be ironed out then | 04:40 |
| shamus | LadyNikon: I would say wait a few months for 8.10, but that's just me because 8.04 has been a massive disaster for me. | 04:40 |
| genii | popcornsgood: Make a subdirecory in the mounted partition and give that read/write permissions to the user you wanted | 04:40 |
| USN1520 | LadyNikon the upgrade is nice | 04:40 |
| matthias | anybody have got the Webcam to work on hardy version ? | 04:40 |

| Zackymc_k | does anyone know how to get the touch screen working on the hp tx1000? i have looked everywhere but to no avail. | 04:40 |
| Iago1989 | Jebtrix: So the brightness applet won't work, I should look for a gamma utility within my installation or online? | 04:40 |
| raginginsideme3 | any other suggestions for my problem | 04:40 |
| shamus | wynd: whenever VLC and firefox are open at the same time, a kernel panic occurs | 04:40 |
| USN1520 | raginginsideme3, where are we at so far? | 04:40 |
| orzo | I cannot partition my usb stick /dev/sdb. cfdisk and gparted complain that they cannot open the device even though they are running as root. | 04:40 |
| orzo | well, running under sudo i mean | 04:41 |
| cabrioleur | orzo, is it mounted? | 04:41 |
| orzo | no it is not | 04:41 |
| shamus | wynd: along with audio issues and everything running generally slower | 04:41 |
| wynd | shamus: hmm, that's bad | 04:41 |
| raginginsideme3 | I've downloaded two different iso from 2 different sites, burned both at 4x, and both fail at the same point | 04:41 |
| shamus | wynd: you got any idea as to whats causing it? | 04:41 |
| wynd | shamus: yeah, it's slower than i was expecting, like i said i'm coming from slackware so i expected some slowdowns but not a wildly thrashing hard drive every 10 minutes | 04:42 |
| wynd | shamus: no idea | 04:42 |

| Hellsadvocate | Hey guys. | 04:44 |
| Hellsadvocate | I have a quick question | 04:44 |
| wynd | shamus: it's nice and lean and stable, the downside is the package manager doesn't resolve dependencies | 04:44 |
| bazhang | thinh: what does apt-cache search vpn reveal | 04:44 |
| cabrioleur | shamus, it's a totally different animal. | 04:44 |
| Fezzler | Now the second HD shows up as "200.00 GB Media" in Places | 04:44 |
| Hellsadvocate | madwifi has been giving me a headache for almost a week now. | 04:44 |
| Jebtrix | quite a downside | 04:45 |
| Jebtrix | imo | 04:45 |
| Hellsadvocate | Can someone help me out really quick? | 04:45 |
| cabrioleur | Fezzler, you can alter your /etc/fstab file to mount 2nd hdd in /home | 04:45 |
| Fezzler | How do I fix | 04:45 |
| shamus | wynd: that would be a problem for me. | 04:45 |
| wynd | shamus: which is fine if the stuff you want is in the official set, but if it's not you have to compile everything from source | 04:45 |
| wynd | shamus: which isn't that hard, but it gets tedious after a while especially when A depends on B which depends on C and D, etc. | 04:45 |
| IdleOne | Fezzler: wow 200 GB media cool | 04:45 |
| Fezzler | cab: walk me through it? edit fstab | 04:45 |

| Mattevt | yes I was just listening to the Exaile player | 04:46 |
| Hellsadvocate | Er, well if anyone gets the time here's my problem: I've installed too many versions of Madwifi, and it seems though I can install madwifi, it doesn't start up, and it does tells me that it can't find ath0 on boot. | 04:46 |
| shamus | wynd: yes, i understand. i kinda thinking of completely getting rid of vista, but im not so sure yet. I want to find a distro thats best for me | 04:46 |
| Doctor_Nick | ugh | 04:46 |
| IdleOne | Fezzler: means that it see's it as a external disk or a usb flash drive of sorts | 04:46 |
| Doctor_Nick | whats the default wifi application for hardy | 04:46 |
| bazhang | Mattevt: you may want to select alsa as the sound in preferences | 04:46 |

| === scorpio is now known as cow_lg_kesepian | ||
| wynd | cabrioleur: yeah, but the dependency data isn't built into the slackware packages, those things work by basically doing ldconfig against binaries and then list whatever comes up missing as a dependency | 04:47 |

| Hellsadvocate | also, the wifi worked when i first installed madwifi, it worked and picked up wireless signals, but only worked for like 3 seconds, and then it would lose internet but stay connected to the network. | 04:48 |

| DunklerKomet | i can't install ubuntu | 04:48 |

| AlabamaHit_ | be glad you get hardy to even come on, lol | 04:55 |
| Jebtrix | using guided install Dunkler? | 04:55 |
| === boy_lg is now known as boy_lg_ | ||
| DunklerKomet | yes, the install do all questions and these things | 04:55 |
| Doctor_Nick | cabrioleur: yeah, it does | 04:55 |
| cabrioleur | is your device wlan0 or something else? | 04:55 |
| Jebtrix | how far does it get in the progress | 04:55 |
| wynd | shamus: never used vista and i'd like to keep it that way 8-) i think my work is rolling it out soon, and i wish it wasn't | 04:56 |
| Doctor_Nick | cabrioleur: no, eth1 | 04:56 |
| cabrioleur | Fezzler, sorry for a mistake, "/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2" | 04:56 |
| Drezard_ | i have an intreface thats off... whats the terminal command to on it? | 04:56 |
| DunklerKomet | the install stops when creating the system | 04:56 |
| DunklerKomet | or formating the hard disk | 04:56 |
| shamus | wynd: its search feature is good. | 04:56 |
| Gman99999 | anyone know how to get the proper uids to copy files from an osx filesystem? | 04:56 |
| shamus | wynd: and thats it. | 04:56 |
| HoNgOuRu | how can I control volume using alsa 5.1.... | 04:56 |
| cabrioleur | Doctor_Nick, that might be a problem. "sudo ln -s /dev/eth1 /dev/wlan0". It used to have problems with it, I'm not sure if it still has. | 04:57 |
| Doctor_Nick | ok | 04:57 |
| Gman99999 | its really pissing me off | 04:57 |
| wynd | HoNgOuRu: alsa is just the backend, you need to use a mixer app | 04:57 |
| DunklerKomet | it's a clean disk without partitions | 04:57 |
| HoNgOuRu | mmm | 04:57 |
| Drezard_ | i have an intreface thats off... whats the terminal command to on it? | 04:57 |

| HoNgOuRu | I cannot control it | 04:58 |
| metroside | I have just installed Hardy without any problems. I have also installed Samba. When I try browsing to my windows shared folders, there aren't any. I can browse to the same computer with the same shared folders on a another Ubuntu machine running gutsy. What setting have I missed? | 04:58 |
| HoNgOuRu | 5.1 is working | 04:58 |
| jaredbuck | LOL PixelDad it certainly is fun. i figured out what was wrong when i tried to compile a program i downloaded from scratch, looking at the log told me what i was missing that it needed to have. | 04:58 |
| HoNgOuRu | but I cannot control the volume nor using alsamixer or xmms | 04:58 |
| Fezzler | cabrio: what do I do to "/dev/hdb1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2" also mounted as "/home? | 04:58 |
| Doctor_Nick | cabrioleur: so now what? | 04:58 |
| Jebtrix | Drezard try sudo ifup eth0 start | 04:58 |
| Jebtrix | some shizzle like that | 04:59 |
| PixelDad | I sure hope this will sync 200,000 photos ! | 04:59 |
| shamus | wynd: oooh! and it always shows a full bar where the ram is (even with my 4gb) | 04:59 |
| xomp | Can anyone verify if orinoco support is in Hardy Heron? I have a Compaq W200 Miniport USB wireless card that Gutsy has never been capable of using and am curious if perhaps Hardy has support for it? | 04:59 |
| cabrioleur | Fezzler, is it your existing writeup in fstab? | 04:59 |
| andreskru | hi, why in hardy my partitions doesnt auto mount at the startup? | 04:59 |
| Gman99999 | anyone know how to copy files off of a ahrd drive with osx on it? ubuntu cant do it without the proper file permissions, is there anyway to get around this? | 04:59 |
| cabrioleur | Doctor_Nick, wait 30 sec. and see if something popped out on the list. | 05:00 |
| niwt | Gman99999: do you have the drive hooked up as slave? | 05:00 |

| Fezzler | cabrio: When running 7.10 I had a 6gig hard drive with OS on it and mounted second hard drive as "/home" and put all my users and file there | 05:01 |
| shamus | wynd: nope. it's just all for the pretty transparent effects. | 05:01 |
| Gman99999 | pixeldad its the only os that's been able to read this hard drive so far windows and osx have failed | 05:01 |
| PixelDad | bad drive ? | 05:01 |
| cabrioleur | Doctor_Nick, also, check out wifi-radar application. It's another gui for all the tools. | 05:02 |
| cabrioleur | Fezzler, if it was in your /etc/fstab, then your /home partition is mounted by the second hard drive already. | 05:02 |
| cabrioleur | Fezzler, you can check it with command "mount" | 05:02 |
| Gman99999 | I just want my old data off of it, i really dont know yet to be honest | 05:02 |
| Fezzler | cabrio: after upgrading to 8.01 a new /home was created on hard drive 1 and hard drive 2 got mounted as 200.00GB | 05:02 |

| balleyn1 | reikon: alright. I've found I can get multiple applications working with pulse audio actually, it's just that when one of them is flash (i.e. youtube video in firefox), it doesn't work. if I can't figure it out, I'll just revert to alsa | 05:31 |

| Optimus55 | thatsnotjack: so any regular text editor work? sry i'm accostomed to using eclipse for java, so i was expecting something similar | 05:33 |
| Pelo | ChimeraHitman, ok this is going to sound silly but if you answered yes when you told it you wanted tosetup yourroot password expecting it meant using your linux root password try loging in with "yes" as your password, just a thought | 05:33 |

| balleyn1 | Bax_: you can use a -v to explain what's being done, or a -i (instead of -f) to prompt for each removal. -v won't save you if you make a mistake, and -i might be too much of a pain for a large directory, but if you want to get comfortable using the rm command you can use -i or -v in some test cases | 05:43 |
| reikon | Gman99999, shouldn't be giving i/o errors. It might be failing, especially if the data dirs magically disappear, etc | 05:43 |

| Jebtrix | seems ok to me c0de | 06:09 |
| reikon | Gman99999, chances are it uses HFS+, which isn't too well supported under linux when it uses journaling | 06:09 |
| AlabamaHit | This computer has a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Video Card...I have installed in on restricted drivers....but its not working right still. I am stuck in 800x600 | 06:09 |
| balleyn1 | Chrysalis: yes, you can. It'll just have to install and run kde libraries as well, small not-really-noticeable overhead on most computers | 06:09 |

| reikon | Makuseru, or from the CLI faac | 06:11 |
| balleyn1 | Chrysalis: hard disk space for the KDE libraries, and cpu wise in terms of having to run kde libraries alongside gnome libraries when you run the app in gnome... but honestly, it's not something I would ever notice at all if I didn't know any better | 06:12 |
| Gman99999 | reikon thanks for everything so much | 06:12 |

| Jebtrix | honestly I can't even think of a reason for that | 06:16 |
| bullgard4 | taidaishar: Yes, the live cd contains all essential features of Ubuntu. But not _all_ because the storage size is limited. | 06:16 |
| reikon | MrPockets, uh.. killall sould kill the parent and all of its children | 06:16 |
| Jebtrix | an hour is long time even for any thermal affects | 06:17 |

| ariqs | ugh | 06:17 |
| MrPockets | reikon, theres an extention of Firefox that i'm specificly looking for | 06:17 |
| maco | how do i change the recurrence settings on an event in evolution? i think ive found a bug (because the GUI just has it shaded out) but id like someone to confirm it | 06:17 |
| Chrysalis | balleyn1: I am not really worried about crippling my computer anytime soon, just making sure its practical since i basically just installed ubuntu 3 days ago and obviously nothing will come close to foobar | 06:17 |
| Jebtrix | im gonna guess a capacitor is leaking, alot | 06:17 |
| reikon | MrPockets, killall firefox ? | 06:17 |
| bullgard4 | taidaishar: Yes, you can have Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer. (I, for example, have it also.) | 06:17 |
| MrPockets | no | 06:17 |
| MrPockets | butnvm | 06:17 |
| MrPockets | thanks anyway | 06:17 |
| balleyn1 | Chrysalis: oh yeah, definitely practical | 06:18 |
| taidaishar | bullgard4: would you mind explaining how to me please? | 06:18 |
| friedtofu | chrysalis - if you want something lightweight - try mpd | 06:18 |
| jaredbuck | i got ubuntu and windoze dual installed on my machine too. easy to do if you use wubi. | 06:18 |
| Chrysalis | balleyn1: thank you for clearing that up for me though, off to try installing it it | 06:18 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: you can either a) dual-boot, or b) run one operating system in a virtual machine inside the other | 06:18 |
| Jebtrix | wubi would be awesome if it had fakeraid support | 06:18 |
| Jebtrix | fuqn nvidia raids | 06:19 |
| Makuseru | reikon: is there no gui for that program? | 06:19 |
| Chrysalis | balleyn1: yea, thats another player i keep hearing about, ill give that one a try too | 06:19 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: The Ubuntu installation will attempt to detect existing operating systems and offer you options for ubuntu to coexist beside them. You can use the Ubuntu installation to setup a dual-boot (just be careful, you'll want to back up in case you make a mistake) | 06:19 |
| brent113 | Jebtrix, that would be awesome. Theoretically it's possible still though | 06:19 |
| reikon | Makuseru, no | 06:19 |
| Makuseru | reikon: and i tried renaming it to .mp4 and it still didnt work | 06:19 |
| reikon | Makuseru, faac --help | 06:19 |
| Jebtrix | yeah but man the steps to do makes my eyes cross | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | nelydajo: Ah, ok! Then either the LED circuit is broken, or the whole charger is at fault. Without voltage and current measurements I cannot tell you more about your problem. | 06:20 |
| Makuseru | im not even going to bother with anything terminal based with this, WAY to many files to rename | 06:20 |
| brent113 | Jebtrix, tru dat | 06:20 |
| cantor | /server socallinux.org | 06:20 |
| balleyn1 | Makuseru: terminal could be a lot easier then, if you use a regular expression or pipe something in | 06:20 |
| Jebtrix | i havent gotten to breaking kernel compiles yet | 06:20 |
| Jebtrix | gege | 06:20 |
| nelydajo | bullgard4: It's not just the led. The laptop won't charge until the led comes on. | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | taidaishar: What specifically do you want me to explain further? | 06:20 |
| Makuseru | balleyn1: but none of the files will be named anything even remotely the same | 06:21 |
| balleyn1 | Makuseru: will they have the same extension? *shrugs* I dunno, may not be practical | 06:21 |
| Mike2008999 | hello... can anyone teach me on how to install theme in ibuntu?? | 06:21 |
| friedtofu | mike2008999 - extract them to you ~/.themes folder | 06:21 |
| bullgard4 | nelydajo: In that case I believe that your charger is at fault. | 06:21 |
| friedtofu | if its an icon to your ~/.icons folder | 06:21 |
| balleyn1 | Makuseru: though, even then, you could create a simple list of all the files (say, one path per line), and just feed that through the command line | 06:21 |
| Jebtrix | ill can tell you some themes install right into gnome theme manager and some don't..... | 06:22 |

| Mercury | How do you disable automounting of hotplugged devices in Hardy? | 06:22 |
| Mercury | I can't find it in the documentation. | 06:22 |
| Mike2008999 | theres no install here | 06:22 |
| friedtofu | Mercury - i believe you can just disable HAL | 06:22 |
| nelydajo | bullgard4: Thanks. Better go get a new one :-) | 06:22 |
| taidaishar | bullgard4: if setting up dual-boot w/Ubuntu/Vista goes poorly(somehow) will my vista be fried or simply some files? | 06:22 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: it could fry your Vista if you mess up the bootloader or if you overwrite the partition | 06:23 |
| Mercury | friedtofu: I don't want to disable HAL entirely, it's useful, because I do want to be able to manually mount/unmount things as a user. | 06:23 |
| reikon | Mercury, you...can? | 06:23 |
| Danikar | taidaishar, I set up duel booting with vista and i had no problems. | 06:23 |
| Mercury | friedtofu: I just don't want it to happen automaticly. This was a simple configuration option in Gutsy, but I can't find the equilivant in Hardy. | 06:23 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: I don't have a recovery disc for vista. any suggestions? | 06:23 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: not if you're careful and backup and everything, but it IS possible. Though, quite unlikely and there are ways of recovering. But things CAN go wrong | 06:23 |

| bullgard4 | taidaishar: It may happen that your whole Vista will become inoperational. -- It is advisable that you first install Vista and then Ubuntu, not vice versa. | 06:24 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, one second, I'll send you a screenshot, ok? | 06:24 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: first would be to back up any important personal data... understanding what you're doing will go pretty far though, but you'll want to have some sort of backup for that worst case scenario | 06:24 |

| Mike2008999 | brent113..can you pm me? | 06:25 |
| Jebtrix | ahzz | 06:25 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: you.. could... take an image of your disk partition, through it on an external disk or something? not sure how safe of a backup that is though... | 06:25 |
| althepal | PLEASE HELP -- WUBI uninstall | 06:25 |
| taidaishar | sounds risky and my external is iffy | 06:25 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, I just pmd you | 06:25 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: essentially, there are two "risky" things the Ubuntu installer will do. 1) resize the Vista partition to make room for an Ubuntu partition, 2) install a new boot loader (which should detect all existing operating systems, I haven't had any problems there) | 06:26 |
| Mike2008999 | yes | 06:26 |
| astro76 | lonejack: it will use the partition label if you set one | 06:26 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: will it attempt to resize if there is adequate hd space? | 06:26 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: the only time I've ever had problems was when I was stuuuppppidd even to kill the installation process before it was done (it looked frozen for over half an hour..), I was left without a bootable system. But that Windows XP install I was glad to be rid of anyways, lol | 06:27 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: you need another partition | 06:27 |
| astro76 | taidaishar: with Vista, make sure you shut down for real... not the hibernate shutdown crap it normally does | 06:27 |
| === Ziroday is now known as JFerret | ||
| kahrytan | What is the default resolution of GDM? | 06:27 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: so, free disk space on an existing partition isn't the same. Typically, Vista will have one partition that takes up your entire disk. That will need to be shrunk so that you can put an ext3 partition there for Ubuntu | 06:28 |
| althepal | I installed it, it added the Ubuntu list to the list of operating systems to choose from and changed the automatic startup of the default selected from like 2 seconds to like 15 seconds. It was before just XP and XP restore (on an HP Desktop). I uninstalled Wubi, and the Ubuntu is off the list, but I need to change the default time back... how?? | 06:28 |
| JFerret | Can someone help me get my full resolution for my monitor? | 06:28 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: The Ubuntu installer automates all of this quite nicely | 06:28 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: I thought yous aid that resizing was the problem | 06:28 |
| astro76 | althepal: sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst, change the timeout in there, then sudo update-grub | 06:28 |
| althepal | how do I do this --- I got rid of ubuntu | 06:29 |
| Jebtrix | Your not using a KVM switch are you JFerret? | 06:29 |
| friedtofu | taidaishar: if you would take more control - you could manually partition your drive so that it has another bigger partition ... one for /home so you can clean install newer versions painlessly | 06:29 |
| Jebtrix | wow this res probl really is rampant | 06:29 |
| kahrytan | astro76, No need to update for that. | 06:29 |
| JFerret | Jebtrix: nope, just a direct connection | 06:29 |
| Jebtrix | lcd? | 06:29 |
| astro76 | althepal: so you want just windows now? | 06:30 |
| JFerret | Jebtrix: yes | 06:30 |
| Mike2008999 | brent i got that.... | 06:30 |

| kahrytan | What is the default resolution of GDM? | 06:30 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, does that explain it? | 06:30 |
| Mike2008999 | w8 | 06:30 |
| Jebtrix | whats the max it allows | 06:30 |
| kahrytan | astro76, you know the default resolution for the gdm? | 06:30 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: would you recommend leaving it all to ubuntu installer? | 06:30 |
| althepal | I don't want windows, but I was using Kubuntu with Wubi and it wasn't working well for me... it wouldn't let me get online or chagne settings | 06:31 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: considering it would be my first time messing witht his sort of stuff | 06:31 |
| friedtofu | hm. i thought GDM automatically resizes based on your resolution | 06:31 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: resizing is a serious operation, because it modifies the partition tables on your hard disk. Ubuntu automates it all really nicely, and when I've encountered problems Ubuntu tells me "Can't resize this" rather than changing anything and messing it up. It's just, IF anything were to go wrong, you may not be able to retreive any data on the disk... I can't imagine WHY anything would go wrong, aside from | 06:31 |
| kahrytan | friedtofu, Nope. | 06:31 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: of, definitely let Ubuntu handle it, I still usually do | 06:31 |
| friedtofu | ah well. >.> i dont use gdm on this distribution... blah | 06:31 |
| brent113 | balleyn1, think: power outage/brown out, happened to a friend :( | 06:31 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: so it all comes down to just let ubuntu do it? | 06:31 |
| kahrytan | friedtofu, I have to set xorg for 800x600 refresh rate and i need to make sure I got right now. If not, GDM window gets cropped | 06:31 |
| balleyn1 | taidaishar: yeah, exactly, power outage would be fatal in the middle of a partitioning :S (I'm on a laptop, so it's not as bad) | 06:32 |
| taidaishar | balleyn1: also, i noticed with my live cd that my wireless card didnt worka nd my res was stuck at 800x600 | 06:32 |

| astro76 | arooni: solid as a rock | 06:43 |
| sanzky | hello, does anyone has experience with flex and bison? | 06:43 |
| ackbahr | Hi there! I'm currently stuck with the usual and difficult choice of screen resolution VS hardware acceleration (after problems upgrading to Hardy). Anyone could help about Nvidia settings? | 06:43 |
| Jebtrix | They OEM alot of US brands | 06:43 |
| MV | kahrytan, I am having problem while installation, every time I boot with live cd, the computer boots and then ask me question to start and install ubuntu, after my enter the screen comes with bar and then when orange bar is finished there is nothing but black screen | 06:43 |
| astro76 | arooni: and mind you tomato still has more features than most people need | 06:43 |
| reikon | MV, safe graphics mode | 06:44 |
| kahrytan | MV, I need help myself so direct it to the entire room. | 06:44 |
| Mercury | gconf, apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount, there is no menu options for this, but the gconf option works. This lets us disable the automount on insert, finally. | 06:44 |
| neo_ | holaaaaaaaaaa | 06:44 |

| diktus | how to connect with intel pro wireless 3945 | 06:44 |

| neo_ | ok gracias | 06:44 |
| amol | Can anyone help me set up azureus with ubuntu? I keep getting yellows instead of greens however it works with the same settings on windows. | 06:44 |
| reikon | luego | 06:44 |
| diktus | the device is known but the light doesnt beep | 06:44 |
| reikon | amol, Transmission? | 06:44 |
| reikon | :> | 06:44 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: I'm using that wireless card, I believe - it works out the box though. What's your problem? | 06:45 |
| musikgoat | amol: is your IP address the same? | 06:45 |
| brent113 | amol: sure, that's because you need to open the port in your firewall | 06:45 |
| arooni | astro76, so tomato is the best firmware for linksys? better than openwrt? | 06:45 |
| MV | reikon, tried with safe mode but it dont help eather, only curser keep blinking | 06:45 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: what kind of laptop? | 06:45 |
| NemesisD | hi all, trying to upgrade to hardy on my EEE, do-release-upgrade failed saying there wasn't enough free space. i have an SD card i'd like to use as the temporary directory. how do i set that up? | 06:45 |
| amol | IP address is the same. | 06:45 |
| reikon | MV, ctrl+alt+f1 | 06:45 |
| astro76 | arooni: hyperwrt is kinda pointless.. and openwrt is only good if you want to install packages and configure stuff manually | 06:45 |
| brent113 | amol: it works in windows becuase in windows azureus acts as a upnp device and tells your router what it needs. In linux oyu need to do this by hand. The azureus wiki explains how to do that | 06:45 |
| amol | Brent113: How do I do that? It's allowing traffic to go through a bit, however it's very slow. | 06:45 |
| amol | Thanks. | 06:46 |
| amol | I'll read up on it. | 06:46 |
| MV | reikon, when shill press clrt alt f1 ? ? ? | 06:46 |
| reikon | MV, when it has a blinking cursor | 06:46 |
| ariqs | what's the best dvd playing software for linux? | 06:46 |
| friedtofu | virtual term? - to get back ctrl + alt + f7 | 06:46 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T61. The wireless light doesn't work in Ubuntu (found a complicated patch to fix it...), but the wireless works fine. It just won't light up, that's all. Maybe that's the same for you? | 06:46 |
| arooni | astro76, so tomator wrt >> ddwrt? | 06:47 |
| reikon | ariqs, vlc or mplayer with libdvdcss3 | 06:47 |
| MV | reikon, you mean in safe mode ? ? | 06:47 |
| diktus | balleyn1 ok | 06:47 |
| ariqs | thanks | 06:47 |
| diktus | but how to know it is work?? | 06:47 |
| friedtofu | balleyn1: haha. the wireless doesnt light up for me either but i could get it to blink ... - every 3 seconds, it annoyed the hell out of me so i just leave it off | 06:47 |
| DanaG | How would I go about making a udev rule to unload snd-emu10k1 when I unplug my audigy2? | 06:47 |
| balleyn1 | ariqs: totem comes with Ubuntu by default, so presumably that's the best or at least most accessible or something. there's also mplayer, vlc.. *shrugs* | 06:47 |
| absnt | Is cedega worth it? | 06:47 |
| astro76 | arooni: I hands down recommend tomato over dd-wrt unless you need some of dd-wrt's esoteric features | 06:47 |
| balleyn1 | friedtofu: ahaha, yeah, I looked at the patch and figured it really wasn't worth the effort to try and apply it. Plus, I have a gnome system monitor applet to monitor activity *shrugs* | 06:48 |
| DATmafia | tomato pwns | 06:48 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: can you see any wireless networks? | 06:48 |
| o0Chris0o | DATmafia: what is tomato? | 06:48 |
| kahrytan | What is the default resolution of GDM? And How do I create a .dmrc file in ~/user? | 06:48 |
| brent113 | absnt, I haven't found a need for it exclusively, but from people who use it I hear very positive things. | 06:48 |
| o0Chris0o | besides the obvious :) | 06:48 |
| ackbahr | As you're mentionning multimedia players, is there a reason why mine (all of them), after upgrade to Hardy, won't play subtitles anymore? | 06:48 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: what happens when you type `iwconfig` into the terminal? any wireless extensions? | 06:48 |
| Mike2008999 | hello...can anyone help me how to activate compiz? | 06:48 |
| Mike2008999 | pm me | 06:48 |
| reikon | ackbahr, o.O | 06:48 |
| arooni | astro76, what makes it better than dd-wrt? | 06:48 |
| ackbahr | reikon: Which is? | 06:48 |
| reikon | ackbahr, that's... odd. Try reinstalling libdvdcss or something? | 06:49 |
| NemesisD | actually let me rephrase, is it possible to upgrade to hardy from an ISO? | 06:49 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, go back into appearance, go to the last tab, and choose the bottom option | 06:49 |
| diktus | no wireless extension | 06:49 |
| ackbahr | reikon: Ok, I'll try that.... Thanks! | 06:49 |
| Cpudan80 | NemesisD: Of course | 06:49 |
| astro76 | arooni: it's stable, so no reboots when it flakes out... even no reboots for config changes compared to the dd-wrt | 06:49 |
| diktus | i try in area with no network | 06:49 |
| o0Chris0o | Mike2008999: kmenu >> system >> Desktop Effects | 06:49 |
| Cpudan80 | NemesisD: Download the alternate CD -- and mount it -- then just run the file on there | 06:49 |
| DanaG | dd-wrt doesn't need reboots, either. | 06:49 |
| Mike2008999 | sorry | 06:49 |
| Cpudan80 | NemesisD: this is assuming you have gutsy | 06:49 |
| Mike2008999 | im ubuntu | 06:49 |
| visik7 | I think that reiser4 will not be in vanilla kernels anytime soon | 06:49 |
| ackbahr | reikon: Ah, well, it's for divx files, not DVDs.... Is it still the same? | 06:49 |
| Mike2008999 | UBUNTU HARDY HERON | 06:49 |
| astro76 | arooni: the web interface is extremely clean... and ajax-y | 06:49 |
| arooni | astro76, ok i also have a fon router that apparently isnt supported by tomato... is dd-wrt the second best choice? | 06:50 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to stop the desktop scrolling to the next desktop if i mousewheel on there? | 06:50 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: ok, run `iwconfig` from the terminal and see if it lists an interface with wireless extensions | 06:50 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, go back into appearance, go to the last tab, and choose the bottom option | 06:50 |
| audi18t | Hello everyone | 06:50 |
| * DanaG wants his router to be a router, not a fruit or vegetable. | 06:50 | |
| * DanaG ducks. | 06:50 | |
| Mike2008999 | BRENT | 06:50 |
| arooni | astro76, i was going to try to use fon in case it worked (so i wouldnt need to buy a linksys) | 06:50 |
| MV | reikon, ok I got a ~$ prompt, now what ? ? ? | 06:50 |
| Mike2008999 | ALREADY DO THAT | 06:50 |
| astro76 | arooni: yeah definitely | 06:50 |
| reikon | ackbahr, if it's for DivX, then the subtutles are hardsubbed, unless they came in the same directory | 06:50 |
| Minifig | I think I know the problem. It is the monitor. LInux doesn't see it and nothing for monitor selection is listed in K-Control Center. | 06:50 |
| reikon | MV, dmesg | 06:50 |
| audi18t | are there any ubuntu gamers in here? | 06:50 |
| reikon | MV, http://pastebin.ca | 06:50 |
| masmota | audi18t: wow ftw | 06:50 |
| kahrytan | What is the default resolution of GDM? And How do I create a .dmrc file in ~/user? | 06:51 |
| ackbahr | reikon: Well, the exact same files worked a few hours before with Gusty | 06:51 |
| Mike2008999 | HELLO | 06:51 |
| reikon | ackbahr, that's odd. recompile your media player? | 06:51 |
| audi18t | WOW is probably the only game that works seemlessly huh? | 06:51 |
| jbroome__ | kahrytan: touch ~/user/.dmrc | 06:51 |
| Mike2008999 | WHATS THE NEXT WHEN I SELECT BOTTOM? | 06:51 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: when I run `iwconfig`, it says "no wireless extensions" for all my non-wireless interfaces, but it provides a bunch of other information for my wireless interface | 06:51 |
| Cpudan80 | !caps | Mike2008999 | 06:51 |
| ubot5 | Mike2008999: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:51 |
| Minifig | I think I have it now. Thank you all. | 06:51 |
| astro76 | kahrytan: I'm pretty sure gdm doesn't have one default resolution | 06:51 |
| kahrytan | jbroome__, doesnt exist. | 06:51 |
| masmota | got a buddy that plays eq & san andreas | 06:51 |
| Mike2008999 | owwwwwwww | 06:51 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, nice capslock. If you did that, compiz will be enabled, just hit OK. If you want further config install ccsm, the Compiz Advanced Settings Manager | 06:51 |
| LainIwakura | audi18t: RO works fine too | 06:51 |
| ackbahr | reikon: Even if it affects all of my players? | 06:51 |
| friedtofu | ackbahr: try using mplayer - or vlc - those should work | 06:51 |
| audi18t | RO? | 06:51 |
| jbroome__ | kahrytan: then you need to mkdir ~/user | 06:51 |
| kahrytan | astro76, Well, when I set resolutions in xorg, gdm gets cropped. | 06:52 |
| ackbahr | friedtofu: Tried, but they don't | 06:52 |
| Yashy | Just upgraded to Hardy Heron, nv glx seems to be messed up, where it was working before with an nvideo 6150 card. Xorg.0.log error: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 06:52 |
| balleyn1 | Mike2008999: don't type in all caps, that's interpreted as shouting. Just click close after selectin "extra" and you should have effects on | 06:52 |

| fxblast | Hi all. I'm having problems with a Dell 1390 wireless card. I can connect to wireless routers fine, but for some wireless access points at my university, I can't stay connected for more than a minute, while under Windows XP, I don't have this problem. I'm currently using Ubuntu 8.04 and the driver provided by the hardware drivers program. I've tried using ndiswrapper, but had the same connection issues. My question is: is there a utility I can | 06:52 |
| reikon | ackbahr, I'm not sure how it would affect them all unless something else is off. | 06:52 |
| === melquiades is now known as drawkcab | ||
| astro76 | kahrytan: supposedly gdm uses the first resolution on the line in xorg.conf | 06:52 |
| kahrytan | jbroome__, permissions is the default permissions for ubuntu | 06:52 |
| astro76 | kahrytan: I haven't really played with it | 06:52 |
| Mike2008999 | how can i activate the compiz cube?? | 06:52 |
| diktus | you can see in private what it shown | 06:52 |
| ackbahr | That's why I'm asking the question here! :) | 06:52 |
| reikon | ackbahr, vlc uses libvlc, mplayer uses ffmpeg, Xine uses libxine, etc | 06:52 |
| Mike2008999 | how can i activate the compiz cube?? | 06:52 |
| kahrytan | astro76, my first is 1440x900. | 06:52 |
| === drawkcab is now known as sdrawkcab | ||
| Mike2008999 | how can i activate the compiz cube?? | 06:52 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, you'll need ccsm, as I said earlier | 06:53 |
| LainIwakura | !repeat | Mike2008999 | 06:53 |
| ubot5 | Mike2008999: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 06:53 |
| kahrytan | astro76, suppose gdm doesnt do widescreen yet? | 06:53 |

| n-iCe | Question is there anyway to install vmware in ubuntu? 7.10 ?? | 06:53 |
| ackbahr | Yashy: I see I'm not the only one with nvidia problems with Hardy.... | 06:53 |
| n-iCe | !vmware | 06:53 |
| ubot5 | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 06:53 |
| astro76 | !ccsm | Mike2008999 | 06:53 |
| ubot5 | Mike2008999: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 06:53 |
| jbroome__ | n-iCe: answer: yes | 06:53 |

| brent113 | still applies mike | 06:53 |
| astro76 | Mike2008999: I know, still applies | 06:53 |
| balleyn1 | Mike2008999: it should work in Hardy too | 06:53 |
| MV | reikon, sorry I did not got ? ? ? what shall I do next ? ? I am on ~$ prompt, and when I run dmesg command some text run through my screen | 06:53 |
| Jebtrix | hehe | 06:53 |
| UbuWin | Mike, search for "forlong compiz" in google | 06:53 |
| n-iCe | jbroome__ perfect, that's all, thank you, then why does wine exist? | 06:53 |
| Mike2008999 | brent | 06:53 |
| Cpudan80 | n-iCe: There is a long thread with directions (apparently my link is bad -- they posted a better one a few posts after mine) | 06:54 |
| Mike2008999 | can you pm me again?? | 06:54 |
| reikon | MV, yeah... what's the last part of that text? | 06:54 |
| Yashy | ackbahr: it worked fine in gutsy before your upgrade? | 06:54 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, no | 06:54 |
| masmota | i noticed vlc works across network shares now w/ gvfs .. is there a way to get audacious/xmms/etc working w/ it? | 06:54 |
| ackbahr | Yashy: Like a dream | 06:54 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: any luck? | 06:54 |
| cube_ | hello, how would i prevent crash handler from reporting a bug | 06:54 |
| Yashy | same issue :/ | 06:54 |
| n-iCe | I'll be back later for more information, thanks guys I need to sleep! ciao! | 06:54 |
| Yashy | ackbahr: grep EE /var/log/X*log | 06:54 |
| kahrytan | How do I create a .dmrc file in ~/user? It doesnt exist, gdm doesnt make one, and home folder has default permissions for Ubuntu | 06:54 |
| quentusrex | how can I purge my ram cache? | 06:55 |
| astro76 | masmota: I thought everthing was supposed to work with it now | 06:55 |
| ackbahr | Yashy: What does this do? | 06:55 |
| diktus | balleyn1: i dont know | 06:55 |
| Yashy | ackbahr: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 06:55 |
| Yashy | ackbahr: see if you see this error (what I see) | 06:55 |
| quentusrex | System monitor is reporting that I'm only using around 15% of my ram, but 60% of it is used for cache | 06:55 |
| diktus | does it is show the wifi works?? | 06:55 |
| brent113 | quentusrex, why would you want to? linux is very efficient at ram usage | 06:55 |
| astro76 | quentusrex: what do you mean by ram cache? | 06:55 |
| masmota | astro76: i installed audacious and couldnt get it to play and immediately uninstalled.. | 06:55 |
| diktus | i mean in wifi area | 06:55 |
| quentusrex | how do I empty my ram, to test something | 06:55 |
| Yashy | ackbahr: that shows you the error(s) in X | 06:55 |
| Mike2008999 | i will put sudo compizconfig-settings-manager in terminal?? | 06:55 |
| astro76 | quentusrex: dunno but you don't have to worry about it, Linux manages the ram just fine | 06:55 |
| brent113 | quentusrex, I suppose you could set swappiness to 100 | 06:55 |
| masmota | i'll try songbird | 06:56 |
| Yashy | Just upgraded to Hardy Heron, nv glx seems to be messed up, where it was working before with an nvideo 6150 card. Xorg.0.log error: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 06:56 |
| amol | So from what I could tell from the azureuswiki, I needed to open up ports in iptables. I tried the following: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 42949 -j ACCEPT, both udp anbd TCP. However, it's not really downloading, and I get a UPnP: Mapping NAT Tester failed error from azureus. | 06:56 |
| astro76 | !memory | quentusrex | 06:56 |

| ackbahr | Yashy: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. | 06:56 |
| jbroome__ | amol: did you enable iptables? | 06:56 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: I'm not sure what will show up in the wifi area (i.e. top right, gnome notification area) if you don't have any wireless networks in the neighbourhood. But if you go to Accessories -> Terminal, type "iwconfig" and hit enter, you should see a list of all the detected network interfaces | 06:56 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager | 06:56 |
| Mike2008999 | thankz | 06:56 |
| Yashy | ackbahr: so you're not having any X errors if that was the only line that came back, you have a different issue | 06:56 |
| Minifig | All is great now. | 06:56 |
| quentusrex | I know ubuntu is great at memory management. I'm trying to debug a video bug. | 06:56 |
| amol | Enable iptables? | 06:56 |
| amol | I'm not sure how to do that? | 06:56 |
| sdrawkcab | yashy: did you try reinstalling the driver? | 06:57 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, then you can run it from system->preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings | 06:57 |
| diktus | ok i'll in wifi area | 06:57 |
| amol | I'm not very computer savvy. I just switched to linux about a week agio. | 06:57 |
| Mike2008999 | okies | 06:57 |
| Mike2008999 | thankz | 06:57 |
| jbroome__ | amol: you don't need to add a pass rule to iptables if you didn't enable it | 06:57 |
| amol | Sorry...I'm rather inept at this. | 06:57 |
| ackbahr | Yashy: There are different lines, but probably linked to my trials and errors trying to get it back again.... | 06:57 |
| Minifig | I went on synaptic and installed a new settings manager and tried that. Went admin and changed monitor and now all is great. | 06:57 |
| brent113 | you're welcome | 06:57 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: if the network interface isn't wireless, it will say "no wireless extensions". If it is wireless, it will display information about that network interface. If you have an interface that is wireless showing up, then it's detected alright and should be working | 06:57 |
| fxblast | Does another driver/utility exist other than the one provided with the restricted drivers manager or ndiswrapper that will provide wireless performance similar to Windows for the Dell 1390 card (broadcom bcm43xx chipset)? | 06:57 |
| Minifig | Lets see what this Linux is all about. | 06:57 |
| diktus | how to make avant windows navigator start together when start up?? | 06:58 |
| astro76 | quentusrex: you could try asking in ##linux too | 06:58 |
| reikon | Minifig, having fun. | 06:58 |
| masmota | astro76: installed audacious again.. local mp3s are ok but no dice on the share | 06:58 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: oooh, sorry. Yes, iwconfig will still work even if there are no wifi networks in your area. You just won't be able to try connecting to anything, but iwconfig will still tell you if your wireless card has been detected and such | 06:58 |
| brent113 | diktus, add it to sessions: system->preferences->sessions | 06:58 |
| MV | reikon, I am very new with linux, anyways my last line of the screen says "142.729057] eth0: no IPv6 router present" this is what you want to know ? ? | 06:58 |
| Jebtrix | there is an option in awn manager i believe for that diktus | 06:58 |
| sdrawkcab | fx: i am using that card right now with no problems...are you having connectivity issues or what? | 06:58 |

| jbroome__ | kipmix: i'm using openvpn | 07:00 |
| astro76 | fxblast: is that bcm4318? | 07:00 |
| diktus | just type that?? | 07:00 |
| jbroome__ | and ssh tunnels | 07:00 |
| kipmix | does that work with cisco profiles? | 07:00 |
| fxblast | astro76: I believe so | 07:00 |
| ackbahr | Yashy: Ah, I was wrong : this time, I have 800x600 NON accelerated.... :) Great!!! | 07:00 |
| Jebtrix | urm just did a re-install, thought it was under preferences or Administration | 07:00 |
| astro76 | fxblast: that one's a nightmare | 07:00 |
| brent113 | diktus, actually awn preferences has an option to add it to startup, use that, then look in sessions to see what it did for future reference | 07:00 |
| sdrawkcab | fxblast, so maybe it's an issue with a certain kind of secured router? I've heard of this but I've not dealt with it as this laptop is nearly retired. | 07:00 |
| kipmix | jbroome does openvpn work with cisco profiles? | 07:01 |
| UnNaturalHigh | fxblast, change your rate with: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 1M | 07:01 |
| jbroome__ | kipmix: probably not | 07:01 |
| el_itur | hi all, anyone using music applet? it does not have the audacious plugin, how to install it? | 07:01 |

| cube_ | how do i stop crash handler from reporting a bug | 07:02 |
| Jebtrix | yeah b5l74z4r | 07:02 |
| reikon | I hate caps lock. | 07:02 |
| fxblast | astro76: I've considered that, but I'd like confirmation that it'd work on my system. I've looked into buying a mini pci-e card, but am afraid of Dell blacklisting non Dell hardware. | 07:02 |
| UnNaturalHigh | fxblast, sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 1|2|6|12|22|54M | 07:02 |
| * reikon removes it from his keyboard | 07:02 | |
| SitUbuntuSit | Mike2008999, compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:03 |
| fxblast | UnNaturalHigh; thanks | 07:03 |
| Agent_bob | hung program "[dvd-slideshow] waiting for mpeg2enc to finish..." but mpeg2enc is not using any cpu time, so it's not doing anything. thoughts ? | 07:03 |
| kahrytan | What is the height for 1024 and 1280 resolutions? Easy one for anyone w/o widescreen monitors. | 07:03 |
| UnNaturalHigh | fxblast, you can also append auto to the end and it will adjust up to the specified rate | 07:03 |
| bullgard4 | [epiphany-webkit] An article in the WWW recommends: "Install Epiphany with the Webkit backend." What is the advantage of that 'Webkit backend'? | 07:03 |
| astro76 | fxblast: yes you definitely need to confirm whether or not they do that... probably easily gained from google | 07:03 |
| UnNaturalHigh | fxblast, for instance: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 22M auto <--- that will adjust the rate lower or up to a max of 22Mbps | 07:03 |
| MV | reikon, last line [142.729057] eth0: no IPv6 router present | 07:03 |
| Mike2008999 | the same | 07:03 |
| kahrytan | bullgard4, Acid3 tests are passed in it | 07:03 |
| b4l74z4r | Jebtrix, how do i remove it? | 07:03 |
| Mike2008999 | could not find package | 07:03 |
| kahrytan | bullgard4, so it has full css3 support. | 07:03 |
| UnNaturalHigh | fxblast, I don't find auto works well with my card, maybe for you it will | 07:03 |
| LSG | What's the command for renaming a file? | 07:04 |
| astro76 | LSG: mv | 07:04 |

| fdsajjkfd | how do i make ubuntu faster? | 07:05 |
| diktus | and change minize,maximize,close bar to the left?? | 07:05 |
| fxblast | UnNaturalHigh: thanks. I'll do some testing tomorrow and see how it works. | 07:05 |
| diktus | balleyn1:yes | 07:05 |
| SitUbuntuSit | fdsajjkfd, get a new computer or run xubuntu | 07:05 |
| brent113 | Mike2008999, for future reference, you can type part of a name in and then use tab for autocomplete, or press tab twice to see all your options | 07:05 |
| kipmix | jbroome i get Failed to make module "cisco_ipsec.ko". when i try and install....any ideas? | 07:05 |
| kahrytan | bullgard4, Why do you need css3 support? | 07:05 |
| icesword | fdsajjkfd: disable compiz | 07:05 |
| fxblast | Do you have any other suggestions? anything else I could try? | 07:06 |
| MV | reikon, last line [142.729057] eth0: no IPv6 router present | 07:06 |
| kahrytan | bullgard4, I heard webkit is faster too though but not sure if true. | 07:06 |
| LSG | diktus: Weird, i'm changing that logo right now.... | 07:06 |
| dano- | I upgraded to Hardy a few days ago, and resuming from suspend and hibernation has stopped working properly. It was fine in Gutsy, but now resuming causes my X session to crash and restart. I'm using the intel driver. Anyone have an idea of what's going on? | 07:06 |
| balleyn1 | diktus: hmm... I know you can right-click and hit edit menu to change it in some ways, but that doesn't seem to allow you to change the logo or anything... not sure | 07:06 |
| fdsajjkfd | lol | 07:06 |
| diktus | LSG:how to change it?? | 07:06 |
| IdanM | dann- , I have the same thing. What laptop do you have? | 07:06 |
| Jebtrix | shiz, i think i removed the panel the network monitor resided on then remade it b4l74z4r | 07:06 |
| IdanM | dano- , I have the same thing. What laptop do you have? | 07:06 |
| dano- | IdanM: Dell Inspiron E1505 | 07:07 |
| quentusrex | How do I disable compiz??? | 07:07 |
| bullgard4 | kahrytan: I do not need css3 support. I rather wanted to know why is there a new engine development for Epiphany. | 07:07 |
| diktus | i mean the logo not the application menu | 07:07 |
| reikon | MV, read up more | 07:07 |
| dano- | Intel 945G video card | 07:07 |
| LSG | diktus: Are you using a custom set of icons? | 07:07 |
| reikon | MV, something about Xorg or GDM | 07:07 |
| diktus | yes | 07:07 |
| kipmix | has anyone gotten a vpn client to work on hardy? | 07:07 |
| astro76 | diktus: http://www.google.com/search?q=change+ubuntu+logo | 07:07 |
| kahrytan | bullgard4, safari is based on webkit. | 07:07 |
| masmota | quentusrex: right click desktop, go to preferences under the "visual" tab and change to none | 07:07 |
| Jebtrix | you can turn off visual effects in appearance quentusrex | 07:07 |
| dano- | IdanM: It was originally working when I upgraded, but when I regenerated my xorg.conf file it stopped | 07:07 |
| dudus | diktus: maybe you could download a theme and open it and check how they change those settings | 07:07 |
| Jebtrix | i dink | 07:07 |
| balleyn1 | bullgard4: as is Konquerer | 07:07 |
| kahrytan | bullgard4, if you are designer, then you got a way to see how it works. | 07:07 |
| diktus | i use mac4lin but the logo not change | 07:08 |
| dano- | kipmix: I'm using pptp-linux right now | 07:08 |
| balleyn1 | bullgard4: well, khtml for Konquerer I think... webkit is a fork of khtml | 07:08 |
| IdanM | dano- , I have a System76 Darter Ultra (daru2), as far as I know, the kernel parameter 'ec_intr' was omitted (don't know why) - that seems to be my problem. I did a clean installataion of Hardy | 07:08 |
| MV | reikon, where ? ? | 07:08 |
| dano- | kipmix: just the command line though, no front end | 07:08 |
| quentusrex | Does anyone know about the audio video problem? | 07:08 |
| kipmix | dano does it work with cisco profiles? | 07:08 |
| kahrytan | balleyn1, has Konqueror transitions from khtml to webkit in hardy? | 07:08 |
| kipmix | dano I need it to connect to my school network | 07:08 |
| MV | reikon, suggest me some command to try it out | 07:08 |
| dano- | kipmix: I think it only works with pptp stuff, which is a microsoft thing, separate from cisco i think | 07:09 |
| quentusrex | I can't get a perfectly good movie to play in vlc player, or gstreamer. | 07:09 |
| reikon | MV, startx | 07:09 |
| Zachera | Why won't my Root Terminal start? | 07:09 |
| kipmix | dano blah thanks anyways | 07:09 |
| MV | reikon, what shall I work on xorg or GDM ? ? ? | 07:09 |
| kipmix | Anyone else get a cisco base profile VPN to work??? | 07:09 |
| reikon | MV, startx | 07:09 |
| quentusrex | The video frames play at 1/20th of the speed when played in gstreamer, but the video is fine(just without audio) in vlc | 07:09 |
| balleyn1 | kahrytan: no idea, tbh | 07:09 |
| quentusrex | Then randomly it works after a while. | 07:09 |
| SitUbuntuSit | in vlc, you're going to have to change the audio output to pulse i think | 07:09 |
| microwaver | My laptop just starts up very slow, i've got a black screen for several minutes. Anyone know what the issue on that is? | 07:09 |
| astro76 | !sudo | Zachera | 07:09 |
| ubot5 | Zachera: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 07:09 |
| Jambon | hi, I seem to have an issue with my bottom panel floating around where it used to be before I upped my screen resolution. I'm using a CRT hooked up to a laptop (whose screen is broken) | 07:10 |
| bobbie4 | g'nite all, I'm off to dream land | 07:10 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, using 7.10? | 07:10 |
| dano- | IdanM: have you gotten it to work by adding the missing parameter? | 07:10 |
| MV | reikon, some music came but black display with power light blinking with command startx | 07:10 |
| reikon | ctrl+alt+F7 | 07:10 |
| Jambon | also, ubuntu tells me I can't run compiz, despite it working quite nicely in 7.10 | 07:10 |
| SitUbuntuSit | quentusrex, when you're in the preferences for audio, make sure that you have the hidden options enabled | 07:11 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, Yes. | 07:11 |
| reikon | MV, ctrl+alt+f7 | 07:11 |
| reikon | Jambon, server kernel? | 07:11 |
| MV | reikon, still the same | 07:11 |
| Jambon | reikon: ???? | 07:11 |
| SitUbuntuSit | quentusrex, I mean, advanced | 07:11 |
| IdanM | dano- , nope, the parameter doesn't exist, it's not anymore in the kernel.... I read all the changelogs from 2.6.22 to 2.6.25 and there was nothing about it except on 2.6.22 . I read on some forum post that the replacement is 'force_poll=1' that replaces 'ec_intr=0' -- But that doesn't work at all... maybe you should try iy. | 07:12 |
| reikon | mv, ctrl+alt+f1 | 07:12 |
| SitUbuntuSit | quentusrex, audio, outputmodules, hit the advanced check box and change to pulse | 07:12 |
| quentusrex | SitUbuntuSit, that is all good. | 07:12 |
| Zachera | So how do I access Root Terminal? What would I type into the regular Terminal to access all files for that 15 minutes? | 07:12 |
| SitUbuntuSit | quentusrex, and the sound does not wor still? | 07:12 |
| quentusrex | nope | 07:12 |
| rboesch | anyone having troubles with Transmission in 8.04? my downloads restart every time I restart... | 07:13 |
| astro76 | Zachera: it's at the bottom of that page | 07:13 |
| quentusrex | but yesterday after a half hour of playing around it suddenly worked. | 07:13 |
| dano- | IdanM: That's pretty annoying. I'm surprised there hasn't been a bug report or post about it on ubuntuforms yet... | 07:13 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, I had this issue a long while ago and I fixed it by killing the splash screen which is not a very elegant solution...basically the problem is that the splash screen is not the right resolution so you either need to kill it or edit the config file...there are several threads about it in ubuntu forums | 07:13 |
| Zachera | "sudo: must be setuid root" | 07:13 |
| MV | reikon, command screen with curser blinking and no prompt (lot of text on screen), I think we are close to solve this problem ! ! | 07:13 |
| reikon | what's the text on the screen say? | 07:13 |
| quentusrex | SitUbuntuSit, and like right now I can open the same file with gstreamer and it plays at 1/20th of normal speed | 07:13 |
| IdanM | The System76 forum has already been reported (and that's a supported machine, pre-installed with Ubuntu) but no reply yet... | 07:13 |
| Jambon | reikon: what did you mean by server kernel? | 07:13 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, Thanks, another friend of mine said somethin about hte splash screen as well. | 07:14 |
| reikon | MV, summarize :P | 07:14 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, i'll google it. | 07:14 |
| Mike2008999 | could not find | 07:14 |
| reikon | Jambon, just wondering if you had a server kernel | 07:14 |
| SitUbuntuSit | quentusrex, that is the bug people have been having. If you google hardy no sound vlc, there are solutions. I had the same problem and it works now for me. | 07:14 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen | 07:14 |

| cellofellow | any backuppc users? | 07:14 |
| Jambon | reikon: I just did the regular install from the regular iso | 07:14 |
| Mike2008999 | may be i put the cd? | 07:14 |
| neeto | Is there a music editing program that supports MP3's? | 07:14 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, that should help! | 07:14 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, love the support in here | 07:14 |
| reikon | Jambon, that'd be 'no' | 07:14 |
| thinkingfrog | how's everyone doing? | 07:14 |
| squee | neeto, audacity should | 07:15 |
| reikon | neeto, Audacity | 07:15 |
| neeto | squee, reikon: word up, thanks. | 07:15 |
| reikon | Two votes for Audacity.. it wins. | 07:15 |
| reikon | ;) | 07:15 |
| Jambon | reikon: I'll keep that in mind. Do I need one? | 07:15 |
| rboesch | anyone having troubles with Transmission in 8.04? my downloads restart every time I restart my computer or logout... | 07:15 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, thanks, though i am not an expert, just helping out with the few things I know | 07:15 |
| * cellofellow wonders about Audacity + PulseAudio. | 07:15 | |
| astro76 | Zachera: you'll have to fix that from a recovery terminal since the root account is not enabled... did you just upgrade or something? | 07:15 |
| quentusrex | I FOUND THE ISSUE!!!! | 07:15 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, things I do :) | 07:15 |

| mondain | I have a problem .. not a big deal though, I have installed hardy heron yesterday and everything is ok and working.. but after few app installations and restart I got at boot screen different options, one is kernel 2.6-whatever-386 and the other is 2.6-whatever-generic.. if i boot using the first i dont have sound nor network, while the second kernel(generic) works fine.. | 07:16 |

| Mike2008999 | awts | 07:17 |
| reikon | Jambon, you try reinstalling the drivers? | 07:17 |
| astro76 | Zachera: bad idea... you'll need to reinstall, you've thoroughly trashed the system doing that | 07:17 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: I can try, though this might be a biased place to ask the question, we're mostly Ubuntu users here, lol | 07:17 |
| sdrawkcab | Arelis, what are you looking for? | 07:17 |
| schitzo | dunno | 07:17 |
| squee | Arelis, ubuntu / kubuntu is a personal preference. If the computer is a little slow, then go with xubuntu. | 07:18 |
| Arelis | sdrawkcab, please start a private message conversation with me :) | 07:18 |
| astro76 | Zachera: a linux system uses a variety of users and groups for different files, there's no way to restore it easily | 07:18 |
| Zachera | Eek. | 07:18 |
| rboesch | i had to install simple-ccsm and compizconfig-settings-manager to get compiz working in 8.04 | 07:18 |
| Zachera | astro76: Can I simply upgrade Ubuntu through the CD? | 07:18 |
| neeto | xubuntu is sexy nevertheless... | 07:18 |
| rboesch | http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/27/custom-compiz-effects-in-ubuntu-804/ | 07:18 |

| reikon | MV, you trying to use the LiveCD or install Ubuntu? | 07:19 |
| astro76 | Zachera: no | 07:19 |

| MV | reikon, I am using live CD | 07:20 |
| astro76 | Zachera: yeah, the installer requires the / partition to be formatted so it will be a clean install... are you dual-booting with windows? | 07:20 |
| Zachera | astro76: No, it's on a separate computer. | 07:21 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: tablet ought to work in Ubuntu Gutsy or Hardy, with varying amounts of configuration; aMSN or Pidgin are two popular GNU/Linux msn clients, Ubuntu ships with Transmission bit torrent client, there are plenty of alternatives in the repos and in other distributions | 07:21 |

| ferronica_ | hi all | 07:21 |
| arooni | a simple http file server | 07:21 |
| astro76 | Zachera: then it's simple, you can use the "use whole disk" option when it comes to the disk partition section | 07:21 |
| reikon | Jambon, then modprobe -r it and modprobe it | 07:21 |
| arooni | that i can run to upgrade my fon firmware | 07:21 |
| SebastianMcK | Hi i was wondering why doesnt ubuntu/linux use stand alone executables? instead of typing the code into the control thingy (I dont know how to get into the control thing and i was wondering how it worked) | 07:22 |

| amirman84 | is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" a bad thing? | 07:22 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: For doing things with your guitar, I'm using Ardour in Ubuntu Studio as my digital audio workstation, that might be something to look at. Fedora has a audio-production style distribution too, I believe | 07:22 |

| DATmafia | I am using Ubumtu 8.04 on a windows host using virtual box, does anyone know if you can set a screen resolution greater than 800x600? | 07:23 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: You'll get plenty of free software in GNU/Linux, free as in /freedom/ and free as in price. For example, MS Office and Adobe's software are non-free (i.e. proprietary), but OpenOffice.org can read/write MS Office file formats and the GIMP is a popular image manipulation program (i.e. alternative to photoshop) | 07:23 |
| IdleOne | night folks. may your dreams be filled with OpenSource and your drivers install properly :) | 07:23 |
| Jambon | reikon: lost me. I can't give you the output of the first command, but I have no clue what to do with the second two | 07:23 |
| Jambon | reikon: sorry. CAN give you the first | 07:24 |

| squee | DATmafia, Install the virtualbox guest modules, i think that has to be done first | 07:24 |
| dashgr | hello, how do i install windows on ubuntu? | 07:24 |
| reikon | Jambon, go for it | 07:24 |
| Arelis | balleyn1, So, Linux is a better choice than Mac for my purposes? | 07:24 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: most of those questions aren't distribution specific, most distributions will let you run the same applications... | 07:24 |
| astro76 | ferronica_: you haven't identified to nickserv | 07:24 |
| MV | reikon, fatal server error unreg option --config=/etc/x11/xorg.conf | 07:24 |

| DATmafia | hnx squee | 07:24 |
| dashgr | andrewe: even with qemu? | 07:24 |
| astro76 | ferronica_: /msg nickserv identify password | 07:24 |
| squee | dashgr, you can install virtualbox, and have a virtual copy of windows running, or you can install wine | 07:25 |
| owen1 | what's the default resolution for sony vaio vgn (12')? | 07:25 |
| masmota | LSG: if u find out, let me know :) | 07:25 |
| Arelis | balleyn1: hmm.. but what distribution? I've been using linux for about.. 3 or 4 years now? I know my way around abit... so isn't ubuntu a little 'too' easy? | 07:25 |
| Zachera | astro76: Thanks. :) | 07:25 |

| tapas | issue? | 07:26 |
| LSG | masmota: This is what i did http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579113 | 07:26 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: hmm... depends. You'll save a lot of money with GNU/Linux, and you'll have free software (not just free as in price, but as in freedom too, open source software). But it'll be harder to get proprietary apps that aren't made for Ubuntu running, i.e. photoshop or MS Office... you may be able to do it using wine, but it'd be easier to use the alternatives (OpenOffice.org, GIMP)... for recording, something li | 07:26 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: I haven't found a situation where the performance of fluxbox isn't good | 07:26 |
| pclynch | i've upgraded to 8.04 and now some of my game system emulators don't work. One doesn't have sound and one is completely broken. plus i've tried reinstalling both. plleeease help whats wrong? | 07:26 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: do you have screen shots I could see? | 07:26 |
| dashgr | squee: is virtualbox like wine by any chance? | 07:26 |
| simplexio | there is too kind of linux distros, those you conf and those you configure even more | 07:26 |
| brent113 | tapas, it's actually a global pulseaudio issue resulting in power-management causing pulseaudio to resume | 07:27 |
| tapas | thinkingfrog: well, if ou want gnome, then fluxbox performs rather bad to that standard ;) | 07:27 |
| b4l74z4r | i get an ugly noise in the speakers in the beginning of youtube vides | 07:27 |
| b4l74z4r | videos | 07:27 |
| reikon | Jambon, I take it you've tried restarting? | 07:27 |
| simplexio | dashgr: no support for directX | 07:27 |
| sdrawkcab | Arelis, but i take it you want lots of features, not a high maintenance distribution...maybe you can try Sabyon? | 07:27 |
| sdrawkcab | er sabayon? | 07:27 |
| thinkingfrog | tapas: I'm running gnome now on Ubuntu Linux | 07:27 |
| Jambon | I'm fairly sure I have | 07:27 |
| MV | reikon, screen says "fatal server error" " unreg option --config=/etc/x11/xorg.conf"???? now what ??? | 07:27 |
| simplexio | isnt sabyon gentoo like system ? | 07:27 |
| tapas | brent113: hmm, that sounds totally unrelated.. got ore info? | 07:27 |
| Jambon | reikon: could do it again to be sure. top panel's acting funny | 07:27 |
| squee | dashgr, it is for running virtual operating systems, it basically creates a fake computer. It runs a bit slower, and there is no graphic acceleration. If you need a program to run from windows though, this seems to be the best solution to me | 07:27 |
| thinkingfrog | tapas: the performance isn't as good as xp with either the proprietary nvidia driver or the open nv driver | 07:27 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: I don't think Ubuntu is "too easy". It's still GNU/Linux, you can do anything with it that you can do with other distributions. I've stuck with the Ubuntu(/Debian) family mainly, I find the distribution choice is nice when it comes to spin offs. For example, Ubuntu studio comes with a bunch of audio production apps and a real-time low latency kernel installed by default - less configuration work to do | 07:27 |
| Arelis | sdrawkcab, i've not tried it yet, but i don't think i'll like it - as it's based on gentoo | 07:27 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: I think there's one on the forums' gallery - let me check | 07:27 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: does it perform as good as windows xp? | 07:28 |
| squee | dashgr, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njGsQXXi3ic | 07:28 |
| reikon | MV, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:28 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: better | 07:28 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: whether Ubuntu or not, a distribution catered to your needs like that may help.. | 07:28 |
| brent113 | tapas, I do, one second | 07:28 |
| tapas | thinkingfrog: hey i was just making a joke. i don't give a bee's behind for windows xp to linux comparisons | 07:28 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: just 2d performance, not concerned about 3d performance | 07:28 |
| dashgr | squee: ok I'll give virtualbox a try, thanks | 07:28 |
| squee | dashgr, your'e welcome | 07:28 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: using the nv driver here | 07:28 |
| thinkingfrog | tapas: I do, because I want everyone to use Linux, especially Windows users :) | 07:28 |
| tapas | thinkingfrog: if anyone wants to run that POS called windows, they are free to do so | 07:28 |
| thinkingfrog | tapas: lol @ free | 07:28 |
| masmota | LSG: i think i got it but i dont have a 48x48 png image :( | 07:29 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: hmmm... 64 Studio is another media production distribution I've heard about | 07:29 |
| tapas | thinkingfrog: i didn't say anything about windows being free | 07:29 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: same, I got the Nvidia driver to work, but it still doesn't perform well | 07:29 |
| thinkingfrog | tapas: I know | 07:29 |
| tapas | i said the people are free to do so.. big difference | 07:29 |
| Carbonflux | well, I was wrong, 8.04 does have better monitor support. | 07:29 |
| Carbonflux | it was easier to get it working then 7.10 | 07:29 |
| thinkingfrog | tapas: I just laughed, don't pretend to know WHY I laughed | 07:29 |
| balleyn1 | Arelis: I guess 64 Studio is to Debian what Ubuntu Studio is to Ubuntu... I think there's a Fedora equivalent too... | 07:29 |
| Carbonflux | for the recond ^ | 07:29 |

| LSG | masmota: Oooh, does it absolutely have to be 48x48? | 07:30 |
| brent113 | tapas, if you search google you'll find lots more bugs similar to that | 07:30 |
| tapas | ok, i don't suspend my box but i will read the report | 07:31 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: the forums are down or similar | 07:31 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: is fluxbox a package I can install? where do I learn about it? | 07:32 |
| brent113 | tapas, If powermanagement turns my monitor off, I have to kill pulseaudio | 07:32 |
| balleyn1 | !fluxbox | thinkingfrog | 07:32 |
| ubot5 | thinkingfrog: fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 07:32 |
| brent113 | tapas, I found a known bug for that too | 07:32 |
| masmota | LSG: yea it worked for me, thanks for the link | 07:32 |
| Silicium | ReiserFS: For when you need to partition your wife. :D | 07:32 |
| tapas | brent113: crazy :) | 07:32 |
| sdrawkcab | fluxbox is a desktop like gnome or kde, just super lightweight | 07:32 |
| fouad | anyone here is using Ion3 as desktop manager ? | 07:32 |
| tapas | brent113: i simply have to kill pulseaudio from the start | 07:32 |
| brent113 | tapas, basically i don't know pulseaudio :P | 07:32 |
| thinkingfrog | awesome. Thanks ere4si | 07:32 |
| Kr0ntabz | Silicium: awwww... bad bad | 07:32 |
| vinboy | is there any program or script that periodically check a webpage for update and notify me about it? | 07:33 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: you can apt-get it from the multiverse repos - and the net is full of howtos - gentoo ones are best | 07:33 |
| brent113 | tapas, yea, all the solutions involve killing pulseaudio | 07:33 |
| tapas | brent113: i log in.. sound's not working for flash videos | 07:33 |
| tapas | i kill pulseaudio -> flash sound working | 07:33 |
| sdrawkcab | fluxbuntu is a remaster of ubuntu + flux although it doesn't install well graphically | 07:33 |
| brent113 | tapas, you could change the default from pulseaudio to alsa, that might fix it | 07:33 |
| tapas | brent113: what default? | 07:33 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: how long do you think it will take someone to install on a gnome install of Ubuntu? | 07:33 |
| brent113 | system->preferences->sound | 07:33 |
| thinkingfrog | I wonder if there will be an FUbuntu | 07:33 |
| brent113 | change from auto to alsa | 07:33 |
| blue-frog | thinkingfrog: 20 minutes | 07:34 |
| tapas | brent113: it is set to alsa | 07:34 |
| balleyn1 | out of curiousity, what IRC clients are people using / do you recommend for Ubuntu? I don't use IRC much, I've always just stuck with Pidgin... any recommendations for something a bit more advanced? | 07:34 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: takes about twenty min | 07:34 |
| Milos | I have no internet connection and I need to install make to install the drivers. How do I sudo apt-get for a file I already downloaded? I tar -zxf make-3.8.1.tar.gz and I just want to install it with the local file. | 07:34 |
| tapas | doesn't make a difference | 07:34 |

| LSG | masmota: No problem =) | 07:34 |
| masmota | balleyn1: mirc | 07:34 |
| brent113 | tapas, maybe set it to auto?! | 07:34 |
| tapas | brent113: doesn't make a difference.. | 07:34 |
| thinkingfrog | even for a n00b Linux user? | 07:34 |
| mondain | I have a problem .. not a big deal though, I have installed hardy heron yesterday and everything is ok and working.. but after few app installations and restart I got at boot screen different options, one is kernel 2.6-whatever-386 and the other is 2.6-whatever-generic.. if i boot using the first i dont have sound nor network, while the second kernel(generic) works fine.. | 07:34 |
| ere4si | oops thinkin - install flux? - 5 min | 07:34 |
| blue-frog | thinkah well ... 21 minutes | 07:34 |
| brent113 | tapas, haha, umm...oss??yea, i donno now... | 07:34 |
| brent113 | good luck though! | 07:34 |
| thinkingfrog | haha, not too shabby, I'll give it a go after I send this email | 07:34 |
| brent113 | i'm out for tonight, until next time, good luck | 07:34 |
| tapas | brent113: actually all io need is a way to kill pulseaudio from the start | 07:34 |
| tapas | 'cause i don't need the POS | 07:35 |
| sdrawkcab | balleyn1, i'm using xchat | 07:35 |
| sdrawkcab | balleyn1, not the gnome version though...the gnome xchat sucks | 07:35 |
| * capo away have to work | 07:35 | |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: in flux you right click on the desktop for a menu | 07:35 |
| brent113 | tapas, here: | 07:35 |
| brent113 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 07:35 |
| astro76 | mondain: generic is the right one, open synaptic package manager, search for 386, and install anything starting with linux- | 07:36 |
| fouad | ere4si, which irc client do you use ? | 07:36 |
| thinkingfrog | it would be sweet if the default install of Ubuntu asked you which desktop you wanted | 07:36 |
| tapas | brent113: thanks | 07:36 |
| brent113 | tapas, search for disable, it tells you how to | 07:36 |
| astro76 | mondain: *uninstall | 07:36 |
| ere4si | fouad: xchat | 07:36 |
| thinkingfrog | Gnome, KDE, or Fluxbox and listed the pros and cons | 07:36 |
| absnt | How do I tell if wine installed something correctly? lol | 07:36 |
| === capo is now known as CaPiTo | ||
| balleyn1 | masmota, sdrawkcab: thanks | 07:36 |
| tapas | brent113: argh, fiddling with global ALSA configuration files is not a sane qway to disable pulseaudio | 07:36 |
| brent113 | tapas, oh, apparently theres a fix for flash just below that too | 07:36 |
| mondain | astro76: ok, thanks. Any idea about why I suddently got this kernel? | 07:36 |
| === CaPiTo is now known as Cape | ||
| fouad | ere4si, oups the question was for sdrawkcab | 07:37 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, it booted 10 times faster, thanks for the linkage | 07:37 |
| LSG | masmota: You just used a 48x48 .png image? | 07:37 |
| ere4si | hehe | 07:37 |
| tapas | brent113: yeah i saw that.. i also read about the unstableness that introduces ;) | 07:37 |
| astro76 | mondain: no you shouldn't have | 07:37 |
| fouad | sdrawkcab, which irc client do you use ? | 07:37 |
| Milos | I have no internet connection and I need to install make to install the drivers. How do I sudo apt-get for a file I already downloaded? I tar -zxf make-3.8.1.tar.gz 'd the file and I just want to install it with that local file. | 07:37 |
| brent113 | tapas, oh, boo, well anyways, good luck, and good night | 07:37 |
| tapas | brent113: thanks for your time.. | 07:37 |
| tapas | there must be a way to tell gnome not to start pulseaudio at all | 07:37 |
| tapas | if not, it's broken | 07:37 |

| wizzly | hi | 07:38 |
| astro76 | Milos: download the proper ubuntu package for your version from http://packages.ubuntu.com | 07:38 |
| ere4si | Milos: is there a readme at all | 07:38 |
| jscinoz | hmm | 07:38 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, good! I'm glad that worked...the issue is fixed in 8.04 btw | 07:38 |
| Milos | THANK YOU. | 07:38 |
| fouad | sdrawkcab, what is the difference between these two xchat ? | 07:38 |
| tapas | brent113: well, i happen to know that asound.conf and .asoundrc have many other uses besides providing some special pcm names for pulseaudio.. | 07:38 |
| Carbonflux | heh, I really like the new gnome system monitor in 8.04 | 07:38 |
| astro76 | Milos: then double click to install, or dpkg -i | 07:38 |
| jscinoz | synaptic, apt-get, aptitude are all segfaulting on start up, is this a known problem or just me? | 07:38 |
| masmota | LSG: pick one from /usr/share/app-install/icons/ | 07:38 |
| tapas | brent113: screwing around with these is not a wise idea if you don't know what you;re doing.. | 07:39 |
| tapas | and good night, too ;) | 07:39 |
| masmota | LSG: then check "use_custom_icon" in gconf-editor | 07:39 |
| Milos | astro76 sorry it's server version - command line | 07:39 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, now just one more fix and I'll be quite happy with this 7.10 setup | 07:39 |

| bazhang | fouad: one is good ;] | 07:39 |
| Milos | astro76, yeah thanks I missed that when you first said it | 07:39 |
| Milos | okay | 07:39 |
| Milos | so let's see | 07:39 |
| helix | how do i uninstall kde? it seems to have disturbed my upgrade to LTS. If i do so, will Amarock still work? | 07:39 |
| fouad | :) | 07:39 |
| Jambon | reikon: back. top panel still won't go all the way across though. and now everything's bumped over a bit on it too. | 07:39 |
| === drmegahertz_ is now known as DrMhz | ||
| bazhang | helix: no kdelibs = no amarok | 07:40 |
| LSG | masmota: I have my own custom icon, but it doesn't seem to work.. | 07:40 |
| tapas | why do desktop environment get this sound thing constantly wrong over years... | 07:40 |
| squee | helix, amarok definately exists in hardy | 07:40 |
| tapas | esd, artsd, pulseaudio | 07:40 |
| astro76 | !puregnome | follow this then reinstall amarok | 07:40 |
| ubot5 | Factoid puregnome not found | 07:40 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, sound never worked well in 7.10 on my new laptop | 07:40 |
| tapas | they all sucked toes | 07:40 |
| masmota | lsg: try with one of the ones from that directory. if it works, you know something is wrong with your png file ? | 07:40 |
| vlt | Hello. When updating from 6.06 to 8.04 are there any changes made to a user's home directory? | 07:40 |
| Jambon | reikon: still no sign of ubuntu letting me turn on effects, though | 07:40 |
| LSG | masmota: Good point, i'll give that a try. | 07:40 |
| astro76 | helix: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome this then reinstall amarok | 07:41 |
| tapas | i'll just put "killall pulseaudio" into my session startup | 07:41 |
| tapas | ugh | 07:41 |
| crazy6 | Hey guys, so I just upgraded to 8.04 . Along the way, I chose to "retain my old menu.lst" and "grub.conf" , but it kept the old kernel around and there are still entries to it .... is there a way I can reinstall grub so it'll automagically reset those entries and boot on the newer kernel? | 07:41 |
| tapas | a daemon is only good if there;s a way to shut it off | 07:41 |
| masmota | LSG: i used exfalso.png | 07:41 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, SOund is working alright. It's the brighness adapter. can't do it with fn + up keys anymore, just by adusting gthe config file. | 07:41 |
| balleyn1 | vlt: maybe to some hidden folders, configuration files? also, Gutsy put some Music, Video, Documents etc folders into my home directory, I believe | 07:41 |
| gatestone | Nautilus, obex:, Nokia N70, stopped working after Hardy upgrade | 07:41 |
| Milos | astro76 - it's a .deb file, that's right, right? | 07:41 |
| squee | crazy6: run sudo update-grub | 07:42 |
| astro76 | Milos: yes | 07:42 |
| sdrawkcab | microwaver, weird, i don't know anything about that! | 07:42 |
| gatestone | Firefox icon on the top panel was botched by the Hardy upgrade. | 07:42 |
| reikon | Jambon, lspci | grep -i ATI | 07:42 |
| microwaver | sdrawkcab, blame it on the cheap ass laptop I'm on :) | 07:42 |
| crazy6 | squee: hrm it looks like it is still pointing to 2.6.22-14 , rather than 2.6.24-16 ? | 07:43 |
| gatestone | Splash screen still does not work after Hardy upgrade in my Thinkpad z60m, have to reinsert "nosplash" manually to the GRUB conf line in menu.lst. | 07:43 |
| microwaver | gatestone, you can adapt it manually | 07:43 |
| gatestone | microwaver, adapt what? | 07:44 |
| LSG | masmota: Nope...something else is wrong. This isn't working either. | 07:44 |
| microwaver | gatestone, perhaps this works for you : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen | 07:44 |
| Kyle__ | ah | 07:44 |
| microwaver | gatestone, the firefox icon. | 07:44 |
| squee | crazy6: running update-grub should automatically generate the menu.lst | 07:44 |
| helix | how do i uninstall kde? it seems to have disturbed my upgrade to LTS. If i do so, will Amarock still work? thank you for your help =) | 07:44 |
| Jambon | reikon: there a lot. do you want any part in particular, like the graphics card? | 07:44 |
| astro76 | helix: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome follow this then reinstall amarok | 07:44 |
| bazhang | helix we answered that a while back | 07:44 |
| crazy6 | squee: should I mv the other one to menu.old first? | 07:44 |
| LSG | masmota: I need to go to sleep anyway, i'll see what's wrong some other time. Thanks for your advice though! | 07:44 |
| vlt | balleyn1: That's my question. Can I take a 6.06 home dir and put it in an 8.04 machine? Will that break anything? | 07:44 |
| thinkingfrog | what is the ~ refer to in the command line? | 07:44 |
| reikon | Jambon, does it see the graphics card? | 07:44 |
| masmota | LSG: np, g'night | 07:44 |
| Milos | astro76 - sorry I'm a bit slow on this, I downloaded it and all, but how do I install it now :S | 07:44 |
| gatestone | microwaver, been there done that in Gutsy. The only thing that worked was "nosplash". Now Hardy may be better but I doubt that. | 07:45 |
| bazhang | thinkingfrog: home directory | 07:45 |
| helix | bazhang, sorry it seems the conversation just freezed so i saw no answer which was pretty odd.. my bad. | 07:45 |
| Milos | astro76 sorry you told me | 07:45 |
| squee | crazy6: i wouldn't be too worried about it. It is what dpkg runs to update the list when new kernels come out. I've never had a problem with it. if you have a custom kernel, that might be a good idea though | 07:45 |
| crazy6 | squee: ah, yes, that did it, great | 07:45 |
| reikon | Jambon, if so, try enabling compiz again and then run dmesg | 07:45 |
| astro76 | Milos: dpkg -i filename.deb | 07:45 |
| rboesch | i am having troubles with transmission 1.06 in ubuntu 8.04. All of the data from active downloads is erased if i restart or logout | 07:45 |
| microwaver | gatestone, i'm not going to upgrade until they reach 8.10 :) | 07:45 |
| astro76 | Milos: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb | 07:45 |
| Milos | astro76: Thanks again, I should have scrolled up. | 07:45 |
| reikon | Jambon, see if you can get anything useful from the output | 07:45 |
| thinkingfrog | bazhang: where would this be then? ~/.fluxbox/startup? | 07:45 |
| helix | astro76, thanks for the link =) | 07:45 |
| sdrawkcab | i hate transmission | 07:45 |
| Jambon | reikon: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61 [Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01) | 07:45 |
| thinkingfrog | home directory, .fluxbox directory? | 07:46 |
| gatestone | microwaver, I think I'll stick to Hardy for the LTS period. | 07:46 |
| sdrawkcab | i just went with deluge instead of transmission | 07:46 |
| Yashy | If I boot 2.6.24 (or try to) with a new hardy heron upgrade, the kernel doesn't finish loading. In debug mode, the last line in dmesg is: /build/bbuild/linux-2.6.24/driver/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c | 07:46 |
| microwaver | gatestone, Ok. | 07:46 |
| balleyne_ | vlt: don't quote me on this, but I don't imagine it'll break anything important. You might lose some application settings (i.e. .gaim in 6.06, .purple in 7.10 and above I believe), but that's about it... from my knowledge, at least | 07:46 |
| helix | Any way to recover my firefox bookmarks after switch to lts...? | 07:46 |
| Ho | j #unbutu_de | 07:46 |
| ere4si | what happened to the forums gallery? | 07:46 |
| gatestone | microwaver, I mean my "critical files" machine. I teach Linux, so there are like dozen machines and configurations chaningin every week... | 07:46 |
| bazhang | thinkingfrog: the dot means it is hidden | 07:47 |
| microwaver | gatestone, 'critical file machine' = personal storage computer, | 07:47 |
| thinkingfrog | hmmm, can't edit the file | 07:47 |
| thinkingfrog | bazhang: should I be able to edit the file even though it's hidden if I use the sudo command? | 07:47 |
| microwaver | gatestone, forgot the questionmark :) | 07:48 |
| balleyne_ | thinkingfrog: yes | 07:48 |
| thinkingfrog | bazhang: for instance sudo vi ~/.fluxbox/startup | 07:48 |
| theveryend | ouch | 07:48 |
| bazhang | thinkingfrog: balleyne_ knows about this not me ;] | 07:48 |
| theveryend | its driving me mad | 07:48 |
| balleyne_ | thinkingfrog: write permissions are the same whether a file is hidden or not, the 'hidden' part only determines whether the file will be displayed in a browser or when you do an 'ls' | 07:48 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: you installe flux with sudo - you need to chown the .fluxbox dir | 07:48 |
| thinkingfrog | chown 777 .fluxbox? | 07:49 |
| gatestone | Help with my Nokia N70 obex-connection! Just paired it again, and it has worked albeit unreliably in Gutsy, no broken in Hardy: http://pastebin.com/m5ec2f864 | 07:49 |
| vlt | balleyne_: I don't use gaim and I even don't know what purple is ... but maybe I should ask in #kubuntu again. Thank you. | 07:49 |
| AutoMatriX | is there a file which contains the history in command-line form of all ran GUI applications ? | 07:49 |
| LainIwakura | What is the recommended console ftp program? (security & ease of use) | 07:49 |
| gatestone | "now broken in Hardy" | 07:49 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: sudo chown -Rv thinkingfrog :thinkingfrog /~/.fluxbox | 07:50 |
| ere4si | opps | 07:50 |
| balleyne_ | vlt: gaim changed to pidgin since dapper (name of the application, that is), pidgin's settings folder is now called .purple instead of .gaim, just using that as an example | 07:50 |
| ere4si | ~/.fluxbox | 07:50 |
| absnt | If I have a windows install on another hdd can I use vmware to boot it like a normal windows install and use things like dx9 and .net2.0? | 07:50 |
| bazhang | AutoMatriX: used or installed with apt-get/dpkg | 07:50 |
| thinkingfrog | well, that didn't work... | 07:50 |
| Jambon | reikon: any advice from there? you said something about turning on compiz. You mean just try enabling effects again? | 07:50 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: sudo chown -Rv you:you ~/.fluxbox | 07:51 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si can you tell me what that does? | 07:51 |
| gatestone | Best place for finding obex and Bluetooth info for Hardy? | 07:51 |
| Milos | astro76 - thank you so much. it said setting up make and then it just returned the command line to me, that probably means it's installed. but is there any way I can actually *check* if it's there? | 07:51 |
| AutoMatriX | bazhang, could you be more explicit, I don't get te sence of your sentence, sorry | 07:51 |
| balleyne_ | thinkingfrog: chown changes the owner a a file, -R makes it apply recursively to the whole directory | 07:51 |
| microwaver | anyone got the keyboard keys for adjusting brightness working in 7.10. The way I can adjust is by using echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness | 07:52 |
| thinkingfrog | what's v? verbose? | 07:52 |
| bazhang | dpkg -l gives a list of all *installed* apps AutoMatriX as far as whether you have used them only you would know ;] | 07:52 |
| reikon | Jambon, yeah. Then run dmesg in a terminal and see if you can get any useful information as to why it's failing | 07:52 |
| thinkingfrog | the error I get is ':thinkingfrog': no such file or directory | 07:52 |
| === lbe_ is now known as lbe | ||
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: chown = change owner -Rv = the whole dir you:you = your username and group | 07:52 |
| balleyne_ | ere4si, thinkingfrog: that won't work with the sudo and ~.. right? won't ~ refer to /root instead of /home/thinkingfrog/ ? | 07:52 |
| absnt | If I have a windows install on another hdd can I use vmware to boot it like a normal windows install and use things like dx9 and .net2.0? | 07:52 |
| ere4si | balleyne_: didn't here | 07:52 |
| reikon | absnt, why not just dual boot? | 07:53 |
| bazhang | vmware does not do that 3d stuff absnt | 07:53 |
| absnt | reikon: because thats tedious =/ | 07:53 |
| gatestone | BTW, naming distros and really using names by all is great for finding things in Google! | 07:53 |
| balleyne_ | thinkingfrog: I think there was an extra space in the first command that ere4si wrote, make sure there's no spaces around the colon | 07:53 |
| reikon | absnt, well if you're installing it on another hdd... | 07:53 |
| ere4si | and there were typos | 07:53 |
| AutoMatriX | bazhang, ok, tat's already some usefull info, but let me explain it in another way .... if I run a program ie; Xchat, where are stord the commands I sent to the system ? | 07:53 |
| reikon | absnt, kinda seems the way to go | 07:53 |
| lbe | I think he is trying to get rid of the reboot | 07:53 |
| reikon | AutoMatriX, logs? | 07:54 |
| thinkingfrog | chown: cannot access `/~/.fluxbox': No such file or directory | 07:54 |
| bazhang | AutoMatriX: you want the logs for xchat? if you enabled them you can check | 07:54 |
| absnt | reikon: yeah, just like to have access to all the goodness of linux without having to wait a few mins for a reboot =/ | 07:54 |
| AutoMatriX | reikon, you can name it a log, I guess, but which one ? | 07:54 |
| balleyne_ | thinkingfrog: that would be the typo, look at the second time ere4si posted the command, he fixed the errors in the first post | 07:54 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: that was a typo - try ~/.fluxbox | 07:54 |
| blinkiz | I have a new installation of 8.04 and a completely clean firefox browser. Still, Firefox 3.0b5 hangs my ubuntu for maybe 5 seconds when I surf on some sites. I can reproduce the error by visiting http://www.armada.nu. Hangs every time for a couple of seconds. What todo? Is it Ubuntu related or Firefox related? | 07:55 |
| reikon | AutoMatriX, /var/log, .bash_history, etc | 07:55 |
| bazhang | blinkiz: could be a badly coded page | 07:55 |
| microwaver | blinkiz, seeing that it is a beta of firefox. it could be a ff error, or just az bazhang says a badly coded page. | 07:55 |
| Y-Town | bazhang: You ever get any sleep? | 07:55 |
| thinkingfrog | does this look right? still errors out, says .fluxbox is not a directory: sudo chown -Rv thinkingfrog:thinkingfrog ~/.fluxbox | 07:55 |
| reikon | absnt, two machines and a KVM switch ftw :> | 07:55 |
| thinkingfrog | I should not I haven't run fluxbox yet | 07:55 |
| blinkiz | bazhang, microwaver , But that should not hang my ubuntu. | 07:55 |
| thinkingfrog | does the directory get created after I log in first? | 07:56 |
| bazhang | Y-Town: only when you are not here ;] | 07:56 |
| thinkingfrog | if so, I think this guide needs to be updated | 07:56 |
| microwaver | !offtopic | microwaver | 07:56 |
| absnt | reikon: bah =/ i hvae two machines but one is upstairs | 07:56 |
| microwaver | !off | 07:56 |
| ubot5 | Factoid off not found | 07:56 |
| AutoMatriX | reikon, .bash_history, I knew, that's perfect for manual entered commands ... do you think I could find the rest in the /var/log direcorties ? | 07:56 |
| blinkiz | Why is ubuntu letting a faulty software hang my computer? Why don't ubuntu simple crash the application? | 07:56 |
| thinkingfrog | I'm just going to execute fluxbox, I still haven't practiced keyboard tonight | 07:56 |
| thinkingfrog | thanks for your help | 07:56 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: brwse your /home folder and check | 07:56 |
| Jambon | reikon: can't say I see anything suspicious or containing ATI. then again, it's mostly greek to me. should I put it on pastebin? | 07:57 |
| reikon | Jambon, go for it :) | 07:57 |
| test3r | why people on GNOME channel talking about FLUXBOX ????? | 07:57 |
| bazhang | blinkiz: loads fine here under ff3b5 | 07:57 |
| test3r | crazy mofos ! gnome is awesome! **** WE KICK @$$ !!! *** | 07:57 |
| ere4si | test3r: it is an ubuntu channel - try #gnome | 07:58 |
| visik7 | I can't get Trash undo where is it ? | 07:58 |
| brent113 | bazhang, I get your result too, it's fine | 07:58 |
| test3r | yeah exactly | 07:58 |

| test3r | we are. yes. | 07:58 |
| thinkingfrog | is there a fluxbox ubuntu channel? | 07:58 |
| sleepster | anyone use Dbus before? | 07:58 |
| Hoenikker | is 4.0.3 usable? | 07:58 |
| vlt | Hello. Does LTS to LTS updating change anything in "~/"? Can I take a 6.06 home dir and put it in an 8.04 machine or will that break anything? | 07:59 |
| blinkiz | bazhang, yeah, I can guess that. Try clicking around on the site and see if you get freezes for maybe 2-5 seconds. Thats what I get | 07:59 |
| bazhang | thinkingfrog: pay no attention to test3r | 07:59 |
| thinkingfrog | if it really bothers people, I'll go to another channel | 07:59 |
| thinkingfrog | big whoop | 07:59 |
| thinkingfrog | alright | 07:59 |
| Jambon | reikon: here it is sensei. http://pastebin.com/d6a8e4db | 07:59 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: yep but they're not helpful | 07:59 |
| test3r | no seriouslty | 07:59 |
| visik7 | vlt: tecnichally it's safe | 07:59 |
| bazhang | blinkiz: no lag here | 07:59 |
| test3r | change ur WM to fluxbox if ur so hot for it | 07:59 |
| stdin | test3r: thanks for your opinion, take it somewhere that cares | 07:59 |
| bazhang | test3r: please stop | 07:59 |
| test3r | no u | 08:00 |
| blinkiz | bazhang, Thanks for testing | 08:00 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: no .fluxbox in home directory | 08:00 |
| thinkingfrog | or root directory | 08:00 |
| test3r | f'n'BS !!!! wtf. | 08:00 |
| bazhang | blinkiz: no worries ; may have to do with number of extensions in your ff or video issue though | 08:01 |
| test3r | you guys spend all this time getting GNOME to work correct | 08:01 |
| ere4si | thinkingfrog: try login out and in - choose flux from the login session option | 08:01 |
| test3r | and these people come ask you about another WM? | 08:01 |
| bazhang | !ot > test3r | 08:01 |
| tonyyarusso | test3r: No DE flamewars please. | 08:01 |
| test3r | whatever - if you wana waste your time on it go ahead | 08:01 |
| ere4si | !wtf | test3r | 08:01 |
| ubot5 | test3r: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 08:01 |
| thinkingfrog | ere4si: this should be updated. It says the following, which seems erroneous: On some machines, Fluxbox seems to load very slowly. This can easily be fixed by adding the following line into your ~/.fluxbox/startup, right before exec fluxbox: | 08:02 |
| test3r | Language? I havnt swared YET | 08:02 |
| test3r | I can if u want. | 08:02 |

| balleyne_ | is there a command to display my current ip address? (not my local ip, but the IP of my network, i.e. my house...) | 08:08 |
| jscinoz_ | tonyarusso nope, also i cant pipe it to a file with strace program > /tmp/strace | 08:08 |
| Sentienl | lol .. or fun? | 08:08 |
| stdin | jscinoz_: strace sends output to other FDs, use "strace ... &>&1|pastebinit" | 08:08 |
| vlt | amrik: disabled* | 08:08 |
| test3r | no DEDICATION | 08:08 |

| balleyne_ | erUSUL: yeah, that sort of service, but from the command line? (aside from doing a wget and parsing the file... lol) | 08:09 |
| Sentienl | just the ips without logging :\ i want to get rid of mysql, is tht possible? | 08:09 |
| jscinoz_ | stdin, is one of the & incorrect? it complains about unexpected token | 08:10 |
| erUSUL | balleyne_: no way really the ip you ask for is the one of your router maybe it has a way to easy query it but i dunno | 08:10 |
| thinkingfrog | well fluxbox runs, but I couldn't even open a terminal...gotta' read more | 08:10 |

| bazhang | cya thinkingfrog | 08:10 |
| balleyne_ | erUSUL: k, thanks | 08:10 |
| test3r | set your network to beside default | 08:10 |
| test3r | then modify everything | 08:10 |
| tonyyarusso | jesse: for the system, plenty. Just a matter of how much space you need for your files then. | 08:10 |
| test3r | .. | 08:10 |
| bazhang | jesse for / ? | 08:10 |
| jscinoz_ | jesse, if thats just for / then its plenty | 08:11 |
| vlt | jesse: Depends on the software you want to install. 5G is enough for a base system. | 08:11 |
| jesse | for hardy | 08:11 |
| test3r | trust. | 08:11 |
| jscinoz_ | jesse, are you having separate home and root partitions? | 08:11 |
| amrik | vlt: yeah but hes trying other accounts as well | 08:11 |
| amrik | vlt: i would like to black list traffic from that IP, I feel that changing my ssh port might still allow a port scan to find it | 08:11 |
| visik7 | I can't get Trash recovery how can I enable it ? | 08:11 |
| jesse | i don't know | 08:11 |
| lasyudg | Anyone got dual monitor's working WITH restricted drivers? | 08:11 |
| Sentienl | i am sure you wld install other apps aswell .. 10 wld be a good idea | 08:11 |
| stdin | jscinoz_: shouldn't be, but you can just use "strace ... &> somefile" then pastebin that file instead (ie "cat somefile | pastebinit") | 08:11 |
| cdub_ | hi all - i'm fresh to this - just got Hardy heron - can anyone tell me best place to find out how to install LAMP stack | 08:12 |

| kubba | I need help with pptp under 8.04 | 08:12 |
| balleyne_ | erUSUL: ah, whatismyip.com has a page for scraping :) | 08:12 |
| tonyyarusso | !lamp | cdub_ | 08:12 |
| ubot5 | cdub_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 08:12 |
| test3r | dont do it! lol use otr | 08:12 |
| test3r | tryslak | 08:12 |
| cdub_ | thanks tonyyarusso | 08:12 |
| vlt | amrik: Blocking that one IP address helps only for now ... You might want to have a look at fail2ban | 08:12 |

| dougmin_ | When I try to use package manager to install Amarok I get a dialog box that pops up and wants me to put in the cd I installed ubuntu on this computer with. Anyone know a way aroud it? | 08:15 |
| * test3r is in ur matrix he wishes he was teh one | 08:15 | |
| bazhang | dougmin_: disable the cd as a repo source | 08:15 |
| vlt | dougmin_: You can comment the "cdrom" line in /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:16 |
| amrik | vlt: ok I installed fail2ban and it seems to be working | 08:16 |
| Sentienl | the easiest way would be to download wubi... place itin the partition you wish to install and run. it wld create a "install"directory on executing .. makesure you r not online. place the predownloaded cd into the same folder and run wubi again | 08:16 |
| amrik | vlt: anything else I should be careful of? how many tries does it take before I could accidentally lock myself out of the system | 08:16 |
| smmagic | <3 wubi | 08:16 |
| J5L | dougmin_: after removing the cd as a repository also do apt-get update | 08:16 |
| jscinoz_ | wow | 08:16 |
| jscinoz_ | even pastebin is failing today. | 08:17 |

| jscinoz_ | Irony! | 08:17 |
| dougmin_ | Thanks, also, I installed the OS using the disc with my cd-rom drive but ubuntu doesn't know what it is anymore. Suggestions on this one? | 08:17 |
| sleepster | anyone know of a way I could search for all dbus services that are currently running | 08:17 |
| J5L | dougmin_: you mean that ubuntu doesn't recognize your cd drive? | 08:18 |
| geebs | Hello, would anyone be able to help me with Wine and Ventrilo please? I'm having an odd problem that I have not read about anywhere. | 08:18 |
| dougmin_ | Yes, sorry if that statment was confusing. | 08:18 |
| J5L | what happens if you remoce the disc and re-insert it again? | 08:19 |
| tonyyarusso | jscinoz_: you should pastebin the error you're getting :P | 08:19 |
| jscinoz_ | doh | 08:19 |
| jscinoz_ | maybe paste.ubuntu.com will work... | 08:19 |
| jscinoz_ | or... firefox can segfault | 08:19 |
| jscinoz_ | >_< | 08:19 |

| geebs | Anyone? :( I'm desperate... | 08:20 |
| jscinoz_ | Ok, problem: synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, are all segfaulting when they attempt to read the database (however aptitude/apt-get can run the update command just fine) no terminal output other than "Segmentation Fault" here is a strace of synaptic http://paste.ubuntu.com/8672/ any help would be appreciated | 08:21 |
| J5L | dougmin_: ok, but what happens when you eject and re-insert the disc? | 08:21 |
| kdorf | Here's kind of a non-ubuntu related question that no one will answer in #ubuntu-offtopic :( | 08:22 |
| bazhang | geebs: if you dont get a good answer here now you may head to wine channel or check the appdb for more info | 08:22 |
| bazhang | kdorf: best not to ask it here then | 08:22 |
| x1250 | geebs: no one will help you if you aks people to help you and wait for ther answers. You have to say what is the problem right a way | 08:22 |
| kdorf | bazhang: fair enough. do you know if there's an irc channel for gtkpod? | 08:23 |
| bazhang | dougmin_: did you edit out the cd rom as a software repo | 08:23 |
| geebs | Hmm, okay.. | 08:23 |
| bazhang | kdorf: that seems ontopic for here | 08:23 |
| dougmin_ | J5L: the drive hasn't worked since the install of the OS. I ran it from the disc, and then installed it from the disc. The only thing that shows up in there now is CD-ROM. | 08:23 |
| yangjun | 还是E文呀 | 08:23 |
| ttkeppi | how long does it usually take for bug to be fixed after it has been reported to launchpad? | 08:23 |

| yangjun | 我怎才能进中文呀 | 08:24 |
| bazhang | dougmin_: now hit refresh/reload | 08:24 |
| kdorf | In that case, is there a wildcard character selecting album artwork in a folder? | 08:24 |
| fouad | yangjun, si senior | 08:24 |
| kdorf | or, is there a way I can rename a bunch of like-named files to all have the same name which are in different directories? | 08:24 |
| Chi-Chi | ubuntu-cn | 08:24 |
| bazhang | kdorf: not sure about gtkpod but amarok can do that iirc | 08:24 |
| * nainef so loves that he can see unicode chars in xchat | 08:25 | |
| dougmin_ | bazhang: I already reloaded, but I haven't checked to see if anything changed relating to that drive. I will now. | 08:25 |

| bazhang | kdorf you want to edit the mp3 tags, only the names or what | 08:25 |

| arooni | how do i configure my ethernet card to IP: 169.254.255.2, netmask: 255.255.0.0, gateway: 169.254.255.1; dns: 169.254.255.1? ubuntu gutsy (just trying to follow: http://blog.coldtobi.de/1_coldtobis_blog/archive/9_reseting_the_la_fonera_dt.html) | 08:26 |
| kdorf | well I actually have album artwork that I acquired automatically in some windows-based program, but they all have different names in the varying folders | 08:26 |
| bazhang | yangjun: can you read english? | 08:26 |
| LainIwakura | Is there a console ftp program that can allow me to move directories? Thanks. | 08:26 |
| kdorf | and I'd like gtkpod to use them | 08:26 |
| c0Ld | does ubuntu have some kind of maximum volume control? I have my volume set to 100% (including all of the secondary options as well) and it's still not nearly as loud as I can get it on other OSes :/ | 08:26 |
| julo | I have a problem with Hardy Heron: I have set up gnome-volume-properties so that "f-spot-import %h" is launched when I insert a camera. But when I do insert the camera, nothing happens. Not even an error message... Any idea ? | 08:26 |
| blackperl | how to enable swap memory partition ? | 08:26 |
| zcat[1] | arooni: system > administration > network, dige around, it's pretty straightforward | 08:27 |
| aq | sory, may introduce my self | 08:27 |
| bazhang | kdorf: well then you need to import them or put them in a place that gtkpod can find them in--never used that app so not quite sure how to go about doing that though | 08:27 |
| zcat[1] | *dig | 08:27 |
| jscinoz_ | thanks ere4si, that did it :D | 08:27 |
| julo | I should add that it used to work before I upgraded to hardy | 08:27 |
| arooni | zcat[1], i dont see dns there | 08:27 |
| ere4si | :) | 08:27 |
| J5L | dougmin_: when you re-insert the disk and then in a terminal give the command: dmesg. is there any output regarding the cd-drive? | 08:27 |
| LainIwakura | blackperl: at installation, you can create a partition for /swap | 08:27 |
| aq | hey who are you | 08:27 |
| zcat[1] | arooni: I do. Third tab along | 08:27 |
| kdorf | bazhang: I think a batch renamer would do the trick, that way I can just change them all to have the same name | 08:27 |
| kdorf | we'll see if it works ^_^ | 08:27 |
| bazhang | aq this is not a chit chat channel for that please go to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks | 08:27 |
| jscinoz_ | next question... I'm assuming its too early to file a sync request for 8.10 (as #ubuntu+1 doesnt even exist yet), I've just got my first few packages into debian/main and would love to get them in Ubuntu too | 08:28 |
| blackperl | LainIwakura, i did not creat /swap, i just did it with cfdisk | 08:28 |
| bazhang | kdorf: aye that would likely do the trick as well | 08:28 |
| zcat[1] | arooni: btw dns is not per-interface, it's global for the whole system.. | 08:28 |
| ikonia | jscinoz_: thats a silly question | 08:28 |

| LainIwakura | blackperl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 08:28 |
| jscinoz_ | ikonia, how so? | 08:28 |
| arooni | zcat[1], if i'm trying to follow: http://wavetenna.blogspot.com/2008/02/fonera-702-r3-hack.html .. should i specify this on my router or on ubuntu gutsy itself? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | jscinoz_: show me the repo's for 8.10 | 08:29 |
| Carbonflux | I am having a bit of confusion with a fresh 8.04 install in relation to my sound card, when I list the modules loaded I see snd-emu10K1 which I think is correct, to get sound working in ALSA etc I just need to install the gstreamer stuff etc ? | 08:29 |
| bazhang | jscinoz_: you can add your ideas to brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 08:29 |
| dougmin_ | J5L,bazhang: Hey the repositories thing actually fixed both issues. Why did that happen, exactly? Is it that when ubuntu sees the drive as a repository it just dis-ables it for anthing thing else? | 08:29 |
| jscinoz_ | bazhang, why would it require a brainstorm about it, all that really needs to be done is file a sync request when the infrastructure is up for 8.10 | 08:29 |
| jscinoz_ | ikonia *facepalms* | 08:29 |
| jscinoz_ | *headdesk* even. | 08:29 |

| LainIwakura | Hello, can someone recommend me a console ftp program where I can move and copy directories? I tried lftp, ncftp, and ftp, but they don't have mv or cp commands, strangely. Thanks. | 08:31 |
| zcat[1] | arooni: no idea. I'd have expected it to use DHCP. So once you've got it doing wireless or whatever, you just plug in the network interface and expect it to work. | 08:32 |
| aq | i dont know | 08:32 |
| ikonia | LainIwakura: how about "ftp" | 08:32 |
| bazhang | aq you have politely been asked to follow the channel rules | 08:32 |

| Carbonflux | bazhang, well, its a fresh install and I forgot how I got it working on 7.10, I went back and forth a lot tho, I was thinking maybe talking about it would let me get a cleaner install heh. | 08:34 |
| c0de | hi | 08:34 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: vm on gutsy? | 08:34 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, no, I am running the VM inside of Vista heh, i use it for netting because Vista is not safe | 08:35 |
| c0de | for those of you remembering me from 3 hours ago with the font-problem - i think it's a problem with qt. the fonts looked bad in qt-applications (psi and opera). | 08:35 |
| Carbonflux | the VM is like a reference machine, 8.04 installed perfectly | 08:35 |
| Carbonflux | not a single problem | 08:35 |
| Carbonflux | on a "real" main linux machine its more complex heh | 08:35 |
| zcat[1] | How do I find out whick package is responsible for installing /usr/bin/foo ?? I used to know this but I can't figure out what man page to look up | 08:35 |
| Carbonflux | on my* | 08:35 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: apt-file ? | 08:36 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, so I know its the one specific machine, I not 8.04 itself | 08:36 |
| Carbonflux | its the darn audigy card heh | 08:36 |
| panjul | hi | 08:36 |
| zcat[1] | I thought there was some option in dpkg... | 08:36 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: I forgot know was it sound issue? | 08:37 |
| bazhang | hi panjul | 08:37 |
| icesword | zcat[1], what about auto-apt | 08:37 |
| zcat[1] | I was hoping for an answer, not just guesses... | 08:38 |
| blackperl | is there a difference between using a swap partition /dev/sda3 or using swap file, /mnt/myswap/somefile.swap ? | 08:38 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: I gave you an answer | 08:38 |
| zcat[1] | I can make my own wild guesses | 08:38 |
| icesword | zcat[1], hmm, try auto-apt foo | 08:38 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, ya, sorry lots of scroll, I was in here babbling about a monitor issue before, but I was being a brat, 8.04 was much easier to get configured properly in the end....right now I am trying to get the audio board working on one box. | 08:38 |
| walter_eco | hi - - I'm having a screen size problem | 08:38 |
| ikonia | blackperl: same technique | 08:38 |

| jerkface03 | Hey, I installed samba on ubuntu server so I could view network folders over windows, however when I create a sub-folder in a folder that I have access to, I don't have permission to do anything in that folder | 08:40 |
| jerkface03 | does anyone know how to fix this problem? | 08:40 |
| ikonia | blackperl: keep in mind that to use a swap file the OS MUST be mounted AND have a read/write file system available | 08:40 |

| ikonia | blackperl: what make/model chipset | 08:45 |
| Carbonflux | has Ubuntu becomes more popular in the main-stream more and more people will forget they did not pay for it | 08:45 |
| case_ | blackperl, 16mb must be the minimum requierements for ubuntu-server, which has no GUI... | 08:46 |
| ikonia | case_: for ram ? | 08:46 |
| ikonia | case_: or video ram | 08:46 |
| Carbonflux | the press reaction to 8.04 is wildly supportive | 08:46 |
| blackperl | ikonia, are you serious? why keep asking, it's working now =) | 08:46 |
| ikonia | blackperl: yes, I'm serious | 08:46 |
| zcat[1] | Carbonflux: nobody thinks they paid for windows either... | 08:46 |
| case_ | ikonia, ram. but it sounds wired to me... not enough | 08:46 |
| simplynam | anybody please short me out? i installed ubuntu but splash screen not showing | 08:46 |
| ikonia | blackperl: if you wish to drop it move on, thats find | 08:46 |
| ikonia | fine | 08:46 |
| ikonia | case_: the minmum ram for any 2.6 kernel is 24 meg | 08:46 |

| ubot5 | simplynam: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:47 |
| zcat[1] | simplynam: so it did the splashscreen and all that during the CD bootup? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | simplynam: re-read that | 08:47 |
| simplynam | microwaver, no splash screen not showing | 08:48 |
| bazhang | simplynam: we need alot more info than that--how much ram, which version of ubuntu, what have you tried what errors have you gotten--->all on one line, and asked maybe every 10 minutes or so; if people know they will answer; but if you ask every five seconds NO ONE will answer | 08:48 |
| simplynam | Ram 2 GB, ubuntu 7.10, | 08:48 |
| simplynam | in release notes this is known bug | 08:49 |
| zcat[1] | simplynam: 7.10? Time to upgrade already :) | 08:49 |
| blackperl | ikonia, i might need to delete swap again and use extended partition. i just used up my last, 4th primary | 08:49 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: thats not the answer | 08:49 |
| amirman84 | i hate winblows, i wish openoffice.org could load all my powerpoint templates and font effects | 08:49 |
| ikonia | blackperl: there is no problem with an extended partition | 08:49 |
| bazhang | zcat[1]: ;] | 08:49 |
| ikonia | amirman84: do you mean "windows" | 08:49 |
| zcat[1] | hehe no, but hardy fixes a few bugs.. if it's a new install it might be easier to just give hardy a shot and see if that fixes it | 08:49 |
| ikonia | Zackymc_k: no | 08:50 |
| amirman84 | yeah, windoze | 08:50 |

| vsayikiran | can anyone tell me how to upgrade gutsy gibbon -> hardy heron using aptitude | 08:50 |
| zcat[1] | the answer to bugs that are fixed in later versions is to upgrade to a version where the bug has been fixed! | 08:50 |
| ikonia | amirman84: it doesn't make you look cool saying "windoze" or "winblows", it's called windows - if you want people to communicate with you, communicate in a normal fashion | 08:50 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: is his bug fixed in hardy ? | 08:51 |
| bazhang | sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop vsayikiran | 08:51 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | has anyone figured out yet how to fix ff3_b5 eating up too much space? | 08:51 |
| ikonia | ubuntung-pino1: do you mean cpu ? | 08:51 |
| zcat[1] | I don't know.. but hell, hardy is worth upgrading to anyhow! | 08:51 |
| vsayikiran | bazhang: sudo do-release-upgrade -m what the use of desktop | 08:51 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: so if you don't know if his bug is fixed, it seems a pretty lazy and pointless task to ask someone to upgrade for no reason | 08:52 |

| amirman84 | metroside: yes, you have to mount your WINDOWS partition | 08:55 |
| bazhang | vsayikiran: I told you how; you need more info than that? | 08:55 |
| Carbonflux | metroside, there is a driver for it now called g3 | 08:55 |

| vsayikiran | has anyone upgraded ubuntu gutsy to hardy using aptitude tool please reply | 08:57 |
| amirman84 | zaturno: codecs aren't a code, they're like a plugin that reads specific formats | 08:57 |
| zcat[1] | vsayikiran: yes. Don't do it, it's painful :) | 08:57 |
| blackperl | !bot grub sucks though, why recommand? | 08:57 |
| ubot5 | blackperl: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:57 |
| Carbonflux | metroside, you need to go places, the drives should be listed there, then right click on them and select mount | 08:57 |
| amirman84 | metroside: yeah you can do that, i do it all the time | 08:57 |
| zaturno | amirman84 how i get it? | 08:57 |
| blackperl | bazhang, what you thnk? | 08:57 |
| newuser3 | zcat[1]: hope hardy will be update to 8.04.1 because BIOS issues; 7.10 will install. | 08:57 |
| Carbonflux | metroside, you know the little sidebar thing in the file browser ? | 08:58 |
| bazhang | blackperl: grub is the superior choice by far | 08:58 |
| amirman84 | metroside: you should be able to go into your places part of your menu and see your windows partition in there | 08:58 |
| blackperl | bazhang, then, how come "grub-reboot" does not work? | 08:58 |
| Carbonflux | metroside, there is also a addon for the gnome panel that will let you mount them | 08:59 |
| bazhang | blackperl: did you even read any of those links? | 08:59 |
| amirman84 | zaturno: follow this link, it'll tell you how to get the codecs you need, if you're confused about anything, just ask, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 08:59 |
| zcat[1] | newuser3: I've done it on four machines so far. It takes hours and asks lots of wuestions about replacing config. A clean install is likely easier if you can copy /home off or have it on a separate partition | 08:59 |
| ere4si | blackperl: try sudo reboot instead] | 08:59 |
| Carbonflux | metroside, they will not automaticlly mount when you reboot tho | 08:59 |
| blackperl | bazhang, no, let me scroll up to read =) | 08:59 |

| hagabaka | after upgrade to hardy, my *IDE* hard drive dev names changed from hda, hdb to sda, sdb, and as a result I had to manually edit /etc/fstab to make the partitions mount, although the system finds root without the edit. what would cause that? | 09:00 |
| blackperl | bazhang, that links says,if grub is lost due to windows installation, that's not what i need | 09:01 |

| pepe_swash | bel: ? | 09:02 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash: you will probably need the Alternate CD for raid stuff | 09:02 |
| zcat[1] | vsayikiran: it takes ages and asks a number of times about replacing config files. Possibly easier to backup home and do a clean install I think.. | 09:02 |
| bel | does any one know how to apply dinamic sub domains in apache with php and .htaccess plz ? | 09:02 |
| pepe_swash | distrojockey: ah, ok. will try, then. (crossing fingers) | 09:02 |

| vsayikiran | zcat[1} your 6.06 -> 8.04 upgrade was some what easier you did not have to face much problem | 09:03 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash: :) | 09:03 |
| zcat[1] | vsayikiran: only a minimal server install, no desktop.. not sure if the difference was because it was LTS -> LTS or just because I had very little installed | 09:04 |

| newuser3 | strange hardy detect HD as SATA Drive on the laptop /w newer BIOS | 09:04 |

| diggrocks | i was going to install ubuntu but i have vista installed already | 09:09 |
| jhoc2x | Minifig: i think it will.. | 09:09 |
| zcat[1] | diggrocks: and that's a reason NOT to install ubuntu? | 09:09 |
| bazhang | Minifig: sure just get the proper codecs and it will | 09:09 |
| diggrocks | how hard will it be for me to set up dual boot? | 09:09 |
| jhoc2x | lol... ubuntu is better than vista | 09:09 |
| zcat[1] | I've seen vista. I can't stand it! | 09:09 |
| bazhang | diggrocks: not sure, never tried vista | 09:10 |
| newuser3 | zcat[1]: Yea, but why hardy installs laptop /w older BIOS vers. But Hardy goes into BusyBox CLI on the laptop /w newer BIOS? | 09:10 |
| Carbonflux | diggrocks, I am running Ubuntu inside of Vista right now, using virtualbox.org | 09:10 |
| jhoc2x | Me i got Ultimate Vista.. but i change it back to Ubuntu gutsy.. | 09:10 |

| jhoc2x | i see.. Minifig so install Gutsy or Hardy now.. ^_^ | 09:10 |
| bazhang | minus the -s | 09:10 |
| MasterStone | bazhang: i dont know the resoultions because i cannot read a single thing on the screen because the font is huge and the windows are only partly displayed | 09:11 |
| diggrocks | will the ubuntu setup recognize the vista install and config the bootloaders automatically? | 09:11 |
| jhoc2x | bazhang: amen to that | 09:11 |
| zcat[1] | newuser3: hmmm.. file a bug I guess. what's the boot messages say? | 09:11 |
| bazhang | diggrocks: aye | 09:11 |
| Minifig | I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Haron right now. | 09:11 |
| Minifig | Not bad. | 09:11 |
| jhoc2x | ^_^ | 09:11 |
| Carbonflux | well, I don't see the need to make things mutually exclusive personally :) | 09:11 |

| jazman | well i got win xp and ubuntu 8 on my pc | 09:11 |
| jazman | ubuntu in widows shell | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | Vista has a different way of doing mbr | 09:12 |
| Minifig | Same on this PC. | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | but that only effects XP | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | not Linux | 09:12 |
| metroside | carbonFlux, amirman84 should the XP and Ubuntu partitions have different computer names? I suspect yes | 09:12 |
| Minifig | I am dual boot XP and Ubuntu here. | 09:12 |
| diggrocks | thanks for the help guys, i'm going to try and install ubuntu now....had too many troubles w/ open suse | 09:12 |
| jazman | well this linux is driving me nuts | 09:12 |
| bazhang | nothing against vista; just too hard for me | 09:12 |
| Minifig | I had XP/Vista and scrapped Vista. | 09:12 |
| Dyllan | suse is terrible imho | 09:12 |
| jhoc2x | crdlb: how to format my other drives? | 09:12 |
| zcat[1] | I tried openSUSE the other day... argh, Ubuntu has made me soft!! | 09:12 |
| Minifig | I have plenty of gripes on Vista. | 09:12 |
| jazman | too hard to instal d/loaded programs | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | metroside, what do you mean by computer names ? unless its a network we are talking about they should just be file systems that you mount | 09:13 |
| ariqs | what IDEs does ubuntu have that are worth anything? | 09:13 |
| cwillu | Silly question | 09:13 |
| cwillu | well, two questions actually | 09:13 |
| Minifig | Be back soon. looking online for a way to play DVD's. | 09:13 |
| zcat[1] | I have to go do a slackware install just to keep my brain working I think | 09:13 |
| cwillu | There's been no updates since release? | 09:13 |
| bazhang | jazman: in ubuntu? should be done from the software repositories--nothing easier in linux-land | 09:13 |
| justdave | anyone know how to change the name avahi uses to advertise the gnome vnc server? | 09:14 |
| bazhang | cwillu: none here | 09:14 |
| DistroJockey | cwillu: none here yet | 09:14 |
| HorizonXP | hey, I'm trying to play UT2004. It works, but a lot of textures have a barcode look to it. I think updating my nvidia driver would fix it, but I'm not sure. Is there an easy way to replace the Nvidia driver in Hardy with the one from the Nvidia site? | 09:14 |
| jazman | still cant install trying to install of ha drive cant be botherd with putting in code like dos | 09:14 |
| cwillu | okay, thanks. :) | 09:14 |
| zcat[1] | !medibuntu | Minifig | 09:14 |
| ubot5 | Minifig: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:14 |
| Minifig | Thank you. | 09:14 |
| socketErr | how can i control, with modules are loaded via initramfs? | 09:14 |
| jazman | repsoites | 09:14 |
| cwillu | and second, why do people insist on putting a space between their sentences and the question marks? | 09:14 |
| jklehm | Im trying to use synergy client on ubuntu but perforamnce is really chopping unless I use a nice value of -10. How can I add the command: nice -n -10 synergyc xxxxxx:xxx to the default system services | 09:14 |
| jazman | im new to linux had it on for 2 days | 09:14 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, I'm looking at you :p | 09:14 |
| ariqs | i'm surprised synaptic package manager doesn't have code::blocks | 09:14 |
| zcat[1] | cwillu: why not ? | 09:14 |
| jazman | maybe going to win again | 09:14 |
| bazhang | jazman: you can use add/remove or synaptic for gui--> no shell needed | 09:14 |
| cwillu | jazman, what are you trying to do? | 09:14 |
| JerKB | anyone else having problems with ndiswrapper on Hardy? ndiswrapper + bcmwl5.inf always worked fine for me up until I upgraded. | 09:15 |

| wookienz | hi guys im getting a compiler error trying to ./config an ircd - checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables any ideas? | 09:15 |
| bazhang | Silicium: not here please | 09:15 |
| jazman | ati virus ,firewall and a anothe irc i dloaded | 09:15 |
| zcat[1] | Silicium: reiser is innocent.. !! But yeah.. OT :) | 09:15 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, it looks bad when the ? mark it right up against the last char in some typefaces | 09:15 |
| cwillu | JerKB, try undoing any ndiswrapper/blacklisting you did previously, and install the b43fwcutter package | 09:15 |
| Carbonflux | is* | 09:15 |
| Silicium | oh i have a problem with ReiserFS | 09:15 |
| Silicium | anyone can help me | 09:15 |
| cwillu | JerKB, there's a good chance it'll Just Work (after a reboot) | 09:15 |
| Silicium | so here are more iformations: | 09:16 |
| jklehm | whats the ubuntu way of startup services? | 09:16 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, not every uses the same font ;) | 09:16 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, fix your typeface | 09:16 |
| Silicium | (see link) | 09:16 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, fix your brain | 09:16 |
| cwillu | don't inflict improper typography on the rest of us ;p | 09:16 |
| JerKB | cwillu, I tried all kinds of ways to use b43fwcutter. Just can't get that to work :( got a link to a howto that works? | 09:16 |
| zcat[1] | jklehm: init (/etc/init.d/service script, /etc/rc2.d/Snnservice link to /etc/init.d script) | 09:16 |
| zcat[1] | jklehm: or just install bum | 09:16 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, thats a really sophomoric view, are you trolling or something ? | 09:16 |
| cwillu | JerKB, if you previously used ndiswrapper, things can get confused (residual config mostly) | 09:16 |
| HorizonXP | hey, I'm trying to play UT2004. It works, but a lot of textures have a barcode look to it. I think updating my nvidia driver would fix it, but I'm not sure. Is there an easy way to replace the Nvidia driver in Hardy with the one from the Nvidia site? | 09:17 |
| zcat[1] | !info bum | 09:17 |
| rungss | jklehm: are you talking about startup programs.. might be Preferences -> Sesion | 09:17 |
| jklehm | zcat[1]: thanks | 09:17 |
| motin_0 | guys, my laptop keyboard's ctrl button (+ some others) have stopped working. for instance CTRL is now generating a 235 keycode instead of 37 and others are generating weird serial stuff in xev. I really'd like my keyboard-functionality back - what can I do? | 09:17 |

| cwillu | JerKB, do you have a wired connection right now? (presumably) | 09:17 |
| ariqs | what C++ IDEs does ubuntu have that are worth anything? | 09:18 |
| metroside | CarbonFlux when setting up samba i called the computer sun. Should i give computer name in xp the same name for sharing folder purposes | 09:18 |
| micro0 | i installed flash from adobe on ubuntu, but when i go to play a video it freezes after a while | 09:18 |

| motin_0 | now its generating keycode 235 instead | 09:18 |
| zcat[1] | woah, tards are out tonight | 09:18 |
| cwillu | JerKB, okay, this doesn't make it terribly easy :p | 09:18 |
| motin_0 | guys, my laptop keyboard's ctrl button (+ some others) have stopped working. for instance CTRL is now generating a 235 keycode instead of 37 and others are generating weird serial stuff in xev. I really'd like my keyboard-functionality back - what can I do? | 09:18 |
| JerKB | ya i know :( | 09:18 |
| rungss | jklehm: check out Preferences -> Sesions then .. YOu can choose which Programns to start automatically like Firefox, Thundirbird etc | 09:18 |
| cwillu | JerKB, are you registered with nickserv? | 09:18 |
| JerKB | yes | 09:19 |
| jazman | so far i think xp is better | 09:19 |
| cwillu | mind if we move to pm? | 09:19 |
| bazhang | jazman: well linux is not for everyone; it may be a bit challenging at first but well worth the effort-->two days seems a bit of a rushed judgment though | 09:19 |
| JerKB | sure | 09:19 |
| Carbonflux | anyway, I need help with a sound card issue, not a weird complaint about my lexical template cwillu | 09:19 |
| slowlearner | hi whats a good data modelling tool for ubuntu? | 09:19 |
| micro0 | jazman mumau | 09:19 |
| Carbonflux | blender | 09:19 |
| ariqs | I agree, way less messing around, but linux is all about getting out from under MS :P | 09:19 |
| Carbonflux | slowlearner, blender | 09:19 |
| zcat[1] | what, tick a box, click apply is hard? and "yes, ok, next, next, next, checkboxes, next, reboot" isn't? | 09:19 |
| Carbonflux | slowlearner, type sudo apt-get install blender | 09:20 |
| slowlearner | Carbonflux: i thinks it's a 3d modelling tool | 09:20 |
| jazman | i do want to no t use ms but seems a lot of messing around so far some features i like | 09:20 |
| Carbonflux | slowlearner, yes, you mean a structured systems analysis tool ? | 09:20 |
| zcat[1] | dammit, I was afk.. stop distracting me :) | 09:20 |
| Carbonflux | or a simulator ? | 09:20 |
| slowlearner | Carbonflux: i was looking a data modeling tool :), databases | 09:20 |
| ^root^ | based on http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy and http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy, in gutsy we had a procedure to update the repo first and then we could install anything, in hardy do we have to do something like that? or the manual is correct and we dont need anything like that | 09:20 |
| Minifig | I cannot just put in a DVD and play, but I have it playing. Thank you. Be back later. | 09:20 |
| Carbonflux | ah ok, slowlearner I don't personally know about those tools but I am sure someone does :) | 09:21 |
| ariqs | zcat: try I can't connect to the internet except in a terminal, and since I don't use the network setup, firefox, etc always thinks I'm offline. So anytime I want to use a browser or check my email, I have to set the thing to online first | 09:21 |
| bazhang | ^root^: update and upgrading is still the norm | 09:21 |
| ariqs | that's annoying in itself and it's just the start of woes :P | 09:21 |
| slowlearner | Carbonflux: thanks, anyone knows of any good data modeling tool in ubuntu? | 09:21 |
| ^root^ | bazhang: if i change the gutsy to hardy in old repo, shouldnt it work? | 09:21 |
| ariqs | because ubuntu simply isn't polished like xp | 09:21 |
| slowlearner | thanks, anyone knows of any good data(database) modeling tool in ubuntu? | 09:22 |
| elkbuntu | ariqs, you're a fool if you think xp is polished. | 09:22 |
| jazman | what about a 3rd party installer | 09:22 |
| bazhang | ^root^: you want to use gutsy repos with hardy? not clear on your meaning sorry | 09:22 |
| zcat[1] | no matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd | 09:22 |
| ariqs | it's all relative, elkbuntu, and i'm comparing it to this ;P | 09:23 |
| jazman | xp isnt stable need a radeeon driver form ub so i can place win games | 09:23 |
| bazhang | !windows | 09:23 |

| slowlearner | Anyone knows of any good data(database) modeling tool in ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| ^root^ | bazhang: i have the list of repo that i used in gutsy, for hardy if i just find and replace gusty with hardy in that list, should these newly custom made repo work on hardy? | 09:23 |
| raginginsideme2 | im a first time ubuntu/linux installer and when installin the progress bar gets to 82% on configuring apt, and it has been there for a while any help? | 09:23 |
| jklehm | rungss: that worked thanks | 09:23 |
| bazhang | ^root^: aha you want to upgrade to hardy? | 09:24 |
| ariqs | elkbuntu: that's because xp is far more popular. If ubuntu becomes mainstream, it'll get its fair share of viruses, etc | 09:24 |
| bazhang | raginginsideme2: let it run | 09:24 |
| zcat[1] | raginginsideme2: keep waiting, there's a few parts of the install that take a while... | 09:24 |
| raginginsideme2 | ok thanks I was thinking I just got a bit nervous | 09:24 |
| bazhang | !ot | ariqs elk--butnu | 09:24 |
| ubot5 | ariqs elk--butnu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:24 |
| elkbuntu | ariqs, you may want to research about viruses in linux in general. | 09:24 |
| zcat[1] | about 82% I think it stops to index a bunch of language files... sits there for ages. It hasn't crashed | 09:24 |
| bz0b | hey just curious, are there any update for hardy yet? | 09:25 |
| jklehm | a few | 09:25 |
| jklehm | some gnome stuff | 09:25 |
| bz0b | any major? | 09:25 |
| jklehm | im not sure | 09:25 |

| Saint`Dia | A non-ubuntu question, but you are the people I know. Where can I find a server I can connect to to look up words and have it return the dictionary result? If you don't know, please point me to where they would know this. | 09:26 |
| ^root^ | bazhang: i have upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy. Now i have a file called Gutsy.repo in my home that i made myself as a backup. I want to edit that Gutsy.repo, and change the list of repo that every gutsy in repo is replace with hardy, such that deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe appears as deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardyy universe and save it as Hardy.repo. My question is is this Hardy.repo work in Hardy? | 09:26 |
| zcat[1] | I suspect if we end up with enough linspire users all running as root, we'll see some linux viruses | 09:26 |

| JJtecj | from terminal | 09:28 |

| ariqs | I stopped, bazhang :P I'm itching to continue, but I can see it won't end until we both got kicked | 09:29 |
| bazhang | nainef: in www.medibuntu.org | 09:29 |
| zcat[1] | nainef: what's wrong with evince? | 09:29 |
| nainef | nothing I love them all | 09:29 |
| bazhang | ariqs: only you will elk is an (op) | 09:29 |
| Jazman | ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ | 09:29 |
| zcat[1] | there's an acroread package somewhere.. can't remember where though | 09:29 |
| nainef | thanks bazhang | 09:30 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, I got the sound card working, thanks for the clues :) | 09:30 |
| elkbuntu | bazhang, which might indicate the discussion is fine to have until it gets out of hand, no? | 09:30 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: you did? how did you do it? | 09:30 |
| zcat[1] | can't think why anybody would want adobe's bloat when evince works so superbly | 09:30 |
| bazhang | elkbuntu: who am I to judge? I am lowly helper here ;] | 09:30 |
| kdorf | My media keys control my mic in volume instead of volume out :( any way to fix that? | 09:31 |
| Madpilot | zcat[1], much as I love evince, acroread still prints better. | 09:31 |
| Madpilot | evince for reading on-screen, acro for printing. | 09:31 |
| zcat[1] | btw; you can edit pdf's in inkscape now too :) | 09:31 |
| nett00n | hi, i have burned DVD of 8.04. now i'm copying it to my hard drive to .iso format. will be the md5 the same as on oficcial mirror? | 09:31 |
| elkbuntu | ariqs, linux viruses are not something that can be run by anyone. those which can are viruses of the software such as openoffice or firefox, not linux. | 09:31 |
| bz0b | Hey has anyone here seen problems with the installer after going into live mode? | 09:31 |
| yacc | Now, that's sick. A DVD that stops ripping after exactly 2048MB. Guess somebody might think that he got a problem with the receiving filesystem *g* | 09:31 |
| Jazman | so wahts an esay way to install stuff this stuff seem sto hard | 09:31 |
| bazhang | thanks for the tip zcat[1] | 09:31 |
| zcat[1] | nett00n: for complicated reasons (null padding the last disk block) probably not.. | 09:32 |
| Madpilot | Jazman, Applications->Add/Remove is hard? | 09:32 |
| Jazman | dont work with stuff i d/l on my hardrive | 09:32 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: you really are not going to *share* how you broke the audigy voodoo? ;] | 09:32 |
| yacc | Madpilot: it's a hard concept to people not used to systematic software packaging. | 09:33 |
| Jazman | only stuff on ubuntu server like i have done already | 09:33 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, well, after reading a lot I noticed the most of the issues had been fixed in the current 8.04 formal release, but one guy had the same problem, turns out it was a sata drive cable interfering with the Audigy board, I went in a reseated everything and made sure there were not cables passing near the Audigy board and it detected it when I rebooted, and it worked. So 1) I just bumped something when adding a new drive for this install ( | 09:33 |
| Carbonflux | which would not be unknown for me ) or 2) Audigy boards have noise issues with drive cables of all of things. 2) would be weird | 09:33 |
| Madpilot | Jazman, that's not how Linux is set up to work. It took me some getting used to as well, when I left XP | 09:33 |
| Jazman | i been used to windows | 09:33 |
| yacc | ok, vobcopy did not work, mplayer -dumpstream next ;) | 09:33 |
| zcat[1] | gah, I hate people who won't unlearn all their braindead windows ideas of how things should work | 09:33 |
| Jazman | been years since i used ms dos | 09:33 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: yay! | 09:33 |

| corinth | Does the kubuntu-desktop metapackage install KDE4 now instead of KDE3? | 09:34 |
| Jazman | what things to be easy | 09:34 |
| bazhang | corinth: nay; for hardy it is kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 09:34 |
| * M-A-G-O slaps PR3T0R|AN around a bit with a large trout | 09:34 | |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, seems like the Audigy issues really have been fixed, my first clue was that I am using the generic kernel | 09:34 |
| zcat[1] | package management is just SO MUCH easier (and safer) than download-random-crap-from-wherever | 09:34 |
| corinth | bazhang: Thanks baz! | 09:34 |
| yacc | Jazman: the idea behind packaging software is not to have splashy installer screen, it's to manage software (add/remove/check). | 09:34 |
| rohan | i want to install netbeans on linux, such that it's accessible to all the users. what is the optimal location? /opt? | 09:34 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: so get out of that vm ;] | 09:35 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, the machine in question is about a foot away heh | 09:35 |
| newuser3 | zcat[1]: btw 8.10 will have LTS status? when 7.10 will be not updated (like EoL status)? | 09:35 |
| Jazman | well so far linux seems a waste of time | 09:35 |
| bazhang | ;] | 09:35 |
| yacc | Jazman: Certainly :) | 09:35 |
| Jazman | then im resticed on what i can d/l | 09:35 |
| Cale | Jazman: Huh? | 09:35 |
| yacc | Jazman: no, you are not. | 09:35 |
| zcat[1] | newuser3: 18 months, so April 2009? | 09:35 |

| bazhang | sorry jazman you can always go back to windows--> help in ##windows | 09:36 |

| _atomic | hi | 09:36 |
| schitzo | hey | 09:36 |
| yacc | Jazman: but if you want a distribution that somehow works, you usually should stick with prepackaged binaries, especially as a newbie. | 09:36 |
| Cale | Jazman: Those are available in the package manager. | 09:36 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, I won't run IRC on in Windows tho heh | 09:36 |
| * zcat[1] Jazman!*@* added to ignore list. | 09:36 | |

| ubot5 | Jazman: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 09:36 |
| bazhang | that must be a long list ;] | 09:36 |
| yacc | Jazman: btw, installing some random software on WinXP is not really a good idea, you just need one app to replace a DLL with an older version, ... | 09:36 |
| ariqs | elk: nice, if true. | 09:37 |
| Carbonflux | Ubuntu runs great in a VM | 09:37 |
| Madpilot | Jazman, there's something over 18,000 packages in Ubuntu's software repositories... not much of a 'limit' | 09:37 |
| yacc | Jazman: that's something that packaging handles for you. | 09:37 |
| Carbonflux | its only using about 300meg total | 09:37 |
| bazhang | nice Carbonflux | 09:37 |
| Saint`Dia | I'm having trouble getting the new ubuntu to read my modem. | 09:37 |
| zcat[1] | Bah.. ignoreing a troll doesn't help me not see all the people getting trolled | 09:37 |
| ariqs | you guys should throw code::blocks in, It's a nice IDE | 09:37 |
| newuser3 | zcat[1]: so 7.10 will end at april 2009? or you talking about Hardy. | 09:38 |
| Jazman | well i have wine on my hard drive but how the hell install could get ti with synaptic | 09:38 |
| ariqs | who is the troll, zcat? I'm not meaning to be if you mean me ;P | 09:38 |
| schitzo | I'll think about it | 09:38 |
| Jazman | im not a troll ib seen many on the mirc chat i normaly got | 09:38 |
| zcat[1] | newuser3: 7.10 is a regular release, 18 months support.. 8.04 is LTS, supported 3 years on the desktop and 5 years for server | 09:38 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, of course I only get the cute wigglying windows on "real" hardware heh | 09:38 |
| Don_Miguel | Hello All ... | 09:38 |
| Don_Miguel | My problem: IDE (working) partitions not visible after Gutsy upgrade to Hardy on SATA Paste: http://pastebin.com/m6cd001d4 | 09:38 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: ;] | 09:39 |
| Jazman | im trying to see what soo good about linux as i had ms monploy | 09:39 |
| bazhang | ariqs: not you ;] | 09:39 |
| Cale | Jazman: If synaptic is too hard, then try clicking Applications -> Add/Remove..., then in the "Show" dropdown, pick "All Available Applications", and then type "wine" into the search box, which should find it for you. | 09:39 |
| Saint`Dia | Know where I can find out why the new Ubuntu does'nt read my modem at all when I try to use sudo wvdial, but when I ran the scanModem utility, it found it. | 09:39 |
| Jazman | thats why ubuntu | 09:39 |
| yacc | Jazman: Well, I think you should start to think and wonder to what you are used to. | 09:39 |
| Cale | Jazman: Check the box next to "Wine Windows Emulator", and it'll be installed for you. | 09:39 |
| Jazman | so add remove will do it of the hd | 09:39 |
| plik | Jazman: just use the right tool for the task at hand, -- if that isn't Linux for you then move on | 09:40 |
| Cale | Jazman: It'll download and configure it for you. | 09:40 |
| Jazman | 2 secs on linux now | 09:40 |
| bazhang | Jazman: this is a support channel-->if you wish to chit chat then please head to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks | 09:40 |
| zcat[1] | can someone just kick jazman for obvious trolling already? | 09:40 |
| Cale | Jazman: Similarly for azureus | 09:40 |
| yacc | Jazman: you do realize that many things Windows user complain about do apply to Windows too, sometimes slightly differently. (E.g. a naked Windows comes without all the nice plugins that let you surf the Internet too) | 09:40 |
| Jazman | well cat u have no idea about me | 09:41 |
| Cale | Type "azureus" into the search box there, and check the box, and you're done :) | 09:41 |
| yacc | Cale: you forgot the apply button ;) | 09:41 |
| Saint`Dia | Azuraeus Vuze :P | 09:41 |
| shashi__ | I am running Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 Desktop. I want to go for fresh installation of 8.04 . In my existing 7.10 , i have about 50GB of data in my home directory. I don't have any place to take the backup of that much of data. My question is, when i am installing 8.04, is there any option Ubuntu gives to preserve the /home directory ? | 09:41 |
| Cale | Well, yes, you need to apply the changes ;) | 09:41 |
| Carbonflux | bazhang, VLC is broke tho, heh, but I expect that | 09:41 |
| motin_0 | can anyone help me restore my ctrl-key? is is malfunctioning: http://pastebin.com/f52280b82 | 09:41 |
| nwdz | how do i know if my wireless is working in Hardy?i'm having a HP 530 laptop...and that blue light dosent even light up.. | 09:42 |
| zcat[1] | shashi_not unless you had the foresight to put it on it's own partition | 09:42 |
| ere4si | shashi_: if it is on it's own partition | 09:42 |
| bazhang | shashi__: is it a seperate /home partition? | 09:42 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | hello, i need someone help, when i boot up my comp, there's something wrong w/ my ubuntu, instead of going straight to the welcome login screen, it says some folder is missing | 09:42 |
| justdave | anyone know how to change the name avahi uses to advertise the gnome vnc server? It's advertising as "user's remote desktop on hostname" and I'd like it to just use "hostname". | 09:42 |
| marion | Help Upgraded to 8.04 on Dell get Busy Box shell and initramfs what can I do to fix? | 09:42 |

| Steven1 | Anyone know of a way to fix Firefox? | 09:43 |
| shashi__ | No, /home is part of my "root" / partition. I only have 2 partitions, one is swap and another is "root" . | 09:43 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | umm something etc/something i forgot | 09:43 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | i'm running the live cd right now | 09:43 |
| bazhang | shashi__: then best to upgrade via the net | 09:43 |
| jorge_ | anyone know how to manage tapes dds from ubuntu? | 09:43 |
| nwdz | ok..yacc...but i in a wifi zone and tried iwlist wlan0 scan...it didnt detect anything... | 09:43 |
| * zcat[1] wonders if you can do a 'resize, of the old root, install freesh in the freed space, then delete everything on the old partiton except /home, move /home/* to root on the old partiton, then remount it as /home | 09:43 | |
| milly1234 | shashi_, I had to make a second partition by resizing the root partition while booted from a live cd, then copy everything over from the home directory, then on the install I told it to format the root directory, but not to format the new partition I copied everything over on | 09:43 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | any idea on how i can recover it w/out re-installing ubuntu | 09:43 |
| nwdz | is it a problem with iwlwifi? | 09:44 |
| Steven1 | Been having so many problems with Firefox 3 beta 5 under Ubuntu Hardy. Anyone fixed it yet or know how to revert to FF 2? | 09:44 |
| yacc | nwdz: perhaps you have the wlan hardware switch off? | 09:44 |
| zcat[1] | well, that is how I might do it; | 09:44 |
| JFerret | [DS]DragonSlayer: we need to know what package you were missing | 09:44 |
| justdave | [DS]DragonSlayer: what else does it say just before it complains about the missing folder? | 09:44 |
| bazhang | zcat[1]: a regular helper here put the iso on his hdd and mounted that to use; so what you say may be possible | 09:44 |
| Cale | [DS]DragonSlayer: Well, it would help if people knew what directory was missing :) | 09:44 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | it can't load something | 09:44 |
| milly1234 | Steven1, ff2 is in the repositories | 09:44 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | ok i'll be back | 09:44 |
| cwillu | steven, what problems? | 09:44 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | let me reboot this comp and write down the stuff | 09:44 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | then i'll be back on my live cd | 09:44 |
| JFerret | Steven1: there is a firefox 2 package in the repos > sudo apt-get install firefox-2 | 09:44 |
| Jazman | add remove good for installing of the net but it wont let me install of h/d | 09:44 |
| Steven1 | milly1234: But it still seems to open FF3 beta 5 when I use it. | 09:44 |
| zcat[1] | bazhang: I know it's possible.. I just don't know if a non-guru is going to be able to juggle partitions like that | 09:44 |
| marion | Need big help, I upgraded to 8.04 and now the machine (Dell) will not boot. I get a BusyBox prompt. What can I do to fix? | 09:45 |
| cwillu | Steven1, rather (what problems are you having?) | 09:45 |
| yacc | [DS]DragonSlayer: you are on the same box that is not booting *eeck* | 09:45 |
| Steven1 | JFerret: same as milly. | 09:45 |
| Jazman | thans for ur help will be back latter | 09:45 |
| nwdz | its on i think...if i switched it off...then the option Enable Wireless in NwMgr is not selected.. | 09:45 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | i'll be back | 09:45 |
| === JFerret is now known as Ziroday | ||
| bazhang | bye jazman | 09:45 |
| Cale | Jazman: Right. Installing programs and packages that you've obtained some other way is different. | 09:45 |
| Carbonflux | is Samba depreciated ? | 09:45 |
| yacc | nwdz: any other devices to verify that the WLAN is really there? | 09:45 |
| motin_0 | can anyone help me restore my ctrl-key? is is malfunctioning: http://pastebin.com/f52280b82 | 09:45 |
| Jazman | zcat go find some more sheep | 09:46 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Well it spontaneously crashes on sites that play video. It gives me a message about not being able to load the security component dude to permissions or lack of disc space. | 09:46 |
| yacc | nwdz: as it happens not all hotspots cover every place one would expect. | 09:46 |
| zcat[1] | hehe.. always fun helping ppl who dual-boot into Windows cos ubuntu on the same box has a problem... makes for some very long conversations at times | 09:46 |
| cwillu | Steven1, okay, the crashes aren't actually ff3; it's a bug in adobe's flashplayer, interacting with pulseaudio | 09:46 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: It spontaneously crashes on almost any site actually. Gmail, and several others. | 09:46 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Anyway to fix that? | 09:47 |
| iiiioooo | The "black windows" bug of compiz-fusion still exist. Is there anyone knows how to fix it? | 09:47 |
| cwillu | sec | 09:47 |
| nwdz | yacc: ohh yea...my friendz laptop running windows is connected to it though..i installed wifi-radar also...still i cant see any network here.. | 09:47 |
| zcat[1] | Steven1: weird.. ff3b5 is rock solid here and I use gmail all the time | 09:47 |
| cwillu | there's hopefully going to be a fix from adobe soon, as the workaround is kinda ugly (still need a sec though) | 09:47 |
| Madpilot | iiiioooo, ditch compiz for a sane window manager like metacity? | 09:47 |
| Cale | Has anyone tried the sun java browser plugin in Hardy? I'm having strange problems getting it to work. | 09:47 |
| yacc | nwdz: hmm. | 09:47 |
| cwillu | Steven1, can you check if you have libflashsupport installed in synaptic? | 09:47 |
| zcat[1] | well, rock solid apart from flash locking up regularly, but it's just as bad in ff2 | 09:47 |
| Steven1 | zcat[1]: Yeah. I thought that maybe it was disc space so I freed up a couple hundred megs. | 09:47 |
| BhaalWK | Anyone else having problems with audacious??? Ever since I upgraded to hardy, audacious segfaults... Anyone know if this is common? | 09:47 |
| nwdz | yacc: is it any configure problem that am having here or something else.? | 09:47 |
| yacc | iwlist accepts wlan0? | 09:47 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Sure. Holdon. | 09:48 |
| Ziroday | iiiioooo: try on #compiz-fusion | 09:48 |
| newuser3 | Shashi_: Im guessing using Gparted liveCD, make new partition; move data to new partition. | 09:48 |
| napnap | hi all | 09:48 |
| nwdz | yacc: and yes...am having Intel 3945 wireless... | 09:48 |
| milly1234 | Steven1, mine did that too until I removed libflashsupport because somehow flash using pulseaudio caused the crashes | 09:48 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Yeah I have it. | 09:48 |
| hulley | have new install or Hardy, it did not auto config mt graphics or monitor correctly, cannot find an option to change it | 09:48 |
| cwillu | uninstall it | 09:48 |
| Cale | BhaalWK: I did | 09:48 |
| nwdz | yacc: yea it does... | 09:48 |
| milly1234 | pulseaudio seems to make flash crash, which in turn crashes firefox 3 | 09:48 |
| zcat[1] | Steven1: gmail do a lot of javascript / java I think.. might pay to make sure java is up to date? Or not gnu's java replacement? | 09:48 |
| Steven1 | Ok | 09:48 |
| Madpilot | iiiioooo, as a general rule, ask before PMing someone. thanks. | 09:48 |
| bazhang | nwdz: there is an upstream fix in the works for that card | 09:48 |
| BhaalWK | Cale: Same problem? segfault? | 09:49 |
| Cale | BhaalWK: removing the crossfade plugin worked for me | 09:49 |
| cwillu | Steven1, now, what sucks about uninstalling it is that then flash can't share the audio with anything else | 09:49 |
| fidz | hi | 09:49 |
| Cale | BhaalWK: Kind of a sucky workaround, but it worked. | 09:49 |
| plik | BhaalWK: I wasn't impressed with Audacious - anything odd in a dir you drag to playlist and it stops, where as xmms would just carry on and play what it could | 09:49 |
| Madpilot | zcat[1], gmail is javascript, not java at all... | 09:49 |
| yacc | nwdz: ah, the joys of old hardware that I enjoy *eg* | 09:49 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: What does that mean? | 09:49 |
| zcat[1] | Madpilot: ahhh, 'k | 09:49 |
| yacc | nwdz: sorry, that particular pain will probably happen later this year sometime. | 09:49 |
| cwillu | Steven1, so it'll not play sound (and sometimes video will not start because of that) while anything else is using the audio (i.e., totem open, music playing in rhythmbox, etc) | 09:49 |
| milly1234 | cwillu, unless your soundcard supports hardware mixing. | 09:49 |
| BhaalWK | Cale: Yeah, *just* noticed something about that in a google | 09:49 |
| cwillu | milly1234, I tend to simplify, and let them be really happy if it turns out to work anyway :p | 09:49 |
| napnap | I'm new to ubuntu, and I search a link to install nice desktop effect (Xgl & compiz or other if exist) anyone can send me a link which explain how to set up that ? I've found this link http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/xgl_gnome but me I've Hardy Heron , thanks a lot | 09:50 |
| milly1234 | mine works fine... sound mixes with other things playing | 09:50 |
| yacc | nwdz: currently my laptop 3yrs old, no known hardware problems ;) | 09:50 |
| Steven1 | zcat[1]: How do I check that? And also maybe if I switched it with the gnu java? How would I do that? | 09:50 |
| BhaalWK | plik: I havent had that happen, but with xmms, yes, it just skipped and went on, was quite handy | 09:50 |
| inertial | anyone else having problems with firefox 3 beta in hardy not redrawing the page when you change tabs? | 09:50 |
| Madpilot | iiiioooo, and yes, if you're not running compiz in Ubuntu, you're running metacity. Not flashy, but it's generally solid | 09:50 |
| BhaalWK | Cale: Thanks for the tip anyhow | 09:50 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: So if I watch YouTube. I wont hear sound or if I do I wont see video? | 09:50 |
| zcat[1] | Steven1: I'm probably on the wrong track .. see what other ppl suggest in here :) | 09:50 |
| cwillu | Steven1, it'll work fine if you don't have anything else playing sound | 09:50 |
| marion | Is anyone able to help me with a real mess up of an upgrade? | 09:51 |
| Steven1 | zcat: Ok | 09:51 |
| Baxtor | Hey guys, im just fiddling round with the new Ubuntu (awesome btw loving it so much) , does anyone know where the 'Welcome Message' under Login Window Preferences is shown? | 09:51 |
| nwdz | yacc: man i think its only this chipset having problems...Broadcom and other dont... | 09:51 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Ok then no problem I guess. | 09:51 |
| cwillu | zcat[1], believe it or not, gmail can use flash (I think it's just ads though) | 09:51 |
| chazco | Hi.. how long does it usually take for a bug to go from triaged to being fixed? | 09:51 |
| algyz | I have 3 keyboard layouts, but everytime I'm starting, one of them disappearing and layout switching is not working (it's in Hardy) | 09:51 |
| cwillu | Steven1, you'll probably want to install flashblock | 09:51 |
| Madpilot | iiiioooo, did you not read what I said about ASKING before PMing someone? | 09:51 |
| milly1234 | Steven1, remove the package libflashsupport, it might make sound be problomatic with flash, but it might not if you have a good sound card that supports hardware mixing | 09:51 |
| milly1234 | but ff3 will be a bit more stable | 09:51 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Flashblock? Why? What does that do? | 09:51 |
| cwillu | Steven1, mainly so that you don't have to go hunting for the tab that has a flash advert that's causing the audio to not work in rhythmbox :p | 09:51 |
| BhaalWK | Cale: Where do I disable the plugin? which config file? | 09:51 |
| nwdz | hulley: reboot your system using the recovery-mode kernel option..there you can reconfigure you Xserver | 09:52 |
| Steven1 | milly1234: I did. | 09:52 |
| hulley | thanks | 09:52 |
| nwdz | yacc: and u have any idea about this freezing problem in 8.04? | 09:52 |
| zcat[1] | Baxtor: /etc/gdm/somewhere? | 09:52 |
| Carbonflux | can anyone tell me if Samba is depreciated ? and if so what should I be using now ? | 09:52 |
| cwillu | Steven1, libflashsupport isn't installed by default anymore, so when they get it fixed, hopefully the update will apply to you automatically | 09:52 |
| zcat[1] | Baxtor: /etc/gdm/gdm-conf.custom | 09:52 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, in what way, from nautilus? | 09:53 |
| Cale | BhaalWK: remove the audacious-crossfade package | 09:53 |
| Baxtor | cheers zcat | 09:53 |
| BhaalWK | Cale: True... | 09:53 |
| iiiioooo | baxtor, you can change the welcome message in "system -system management -login window" | 09:53 |
| BhaalWK | Thanks | 09:53 |
| milly1234 | one way to test it is to head over to youtube, play a video and try and play a song in your music playing program of choice after you start the youtube video | 09:53 |
| DATmafia | to change my screen resolution using virtual box i was informed that a guest package can be used. how do i use this?: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-openvz | 09:53 |
| calc | no #ubuntu+1 yet, intrepid is open :\ | 09:53 |
| zcat[1] | iiiioooo: I was going to asy that, but I think he meant 'where is it stored' ;) | 09:53 |
| * calc updates his machine to intrepid now | 09:53 | |
| x1250 | calc: I didn't know, I'll upgrade then :) | 09:53 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, well, when I installed sambafs last time it said it was depreciated and I should use something else. | 09:54 |
| nwdz | anyone having this freezing problem in Hardy? | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | CIIF's ? | 09:54 |
| iiiioooo | is that so | 09:54 |
| cwillu | cifs | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | ah ok | 09:54 |
| iiiioooo | freezing problem? | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | I am doing a new install now | 09:54 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | ok i am back w/ my problem | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | I wanted to use the righ version | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | I ignored it last time | 09:55 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, afaik, samba is still supported; smbfs is deprecated, but cifs is supported in the kernel. From within gnome, smb:// url's have far better support than cifs or smbfs mounts however (and there's a gvfs plugin to allow non-gnome apps to directly use gnome stuff as a fuse mountpoint) | 09:55 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | it says | 09:55 |
| ackbahr | Yashy: Sorry, I had to leave to take care of my daughter.... Any luck with your Nvidia problem so far? | 09:55 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, you're just referring to smbfs package? | 09:55 |
| xst | After upgrading from gutsy to hardy I use the "hardware manager" to install the "ATI accelerated graphics driver" but it writes "Not in use" next to it? I have rebooted and everything. What to do? | 09:55 |
| yacc | nwdz: which freezing problem? | 09:55 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | kinit: name_to_dev_t (/dev/disk/by-uuid/debf4aea-f1ef-4732-b545-7372ffcea9bd) = sbd7 (8,23) | 09:55 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, is the smbfs require to use the smbmount command ? that is really my main issue. | 09:56 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | kinit: trying to resume (line above) | 09:56 |
| iiiioooo | how to highlight those message sent to me in this chanel? | 09:56 |
| Carbonflux | required* | 09:56 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | kinit: no resume image | 09:56 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | doing normal boot | 09:56 |
| Beefeater | is it possible to reboot the keyboard , shift, ctrl and tab just stopped working | 09:56 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | then all i can do is the terminal | 09:56 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | no GUI | 09:56 |
| Madpilot | iiiioooo, anything with your nick in it should be highlighted... | 09:56 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: I think that fixed it. I can't turn on the sound to test it right now though. My wife and son are sleeping nearby. | 09:56 |
| slackd00d | what is ubuntu intrepid | 09:56 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | so how do i fix it? | 09:56 |
| newuser3 | we need more info about freezing problem | 09:56 |
| milly1234 | Steven1, they may eventually fix libflashsupport, so maybe eventually you can reinstall it | 09:56 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, yes, that's deprecated. If at all possible, use cifs mounts instead (they're largely the same) | 09:56 |
| Madpilot | slackd00d, nickname for the planned next version | 09:56 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, are you mainly running from command line? | 09:56 |
| yacc | nwdz: on my laptop I noticed one thing, Hardy installer seems to have strongly oversized swap, which makes badly behaving apps in effect kill the system (because with 6GB swap, it can take days before the OOM killer kills a misbehaving app). | 09:57 |
| cwillu | Steven1, k | 09:57 |
| Steven1 | milly1234: Yeah...hopefully so. | 09:57 |
| slackd00d | Madpilot: thanks | 09:57 |
| bz0b | msg nickserv identify | 09:57 |
| bz0b | msg nickserv identify bz0b | 09:57 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, so I should install samba and cifs but not smbfs right ? yes mostly from the command line not fstab | 09:57 |
| cwillu | milly1234, I'd expect when adobe fixes the plugin, they'll make ubuntu-desktop depend on libflashsupport again, which will automatically reinstall it | 09:57 |
| nwdz | yacc: my system just gets stuck sometimes...it happened 4,5 times past two days after i installed it... it dosent respond to any keypress..not even ctrl-Alt-bksp | 09:57 |
| iiiioooo | er.......... maybe I should come back latter. I must learn some command of IRC first. | 09:57 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, sorry, I meant vs a gnome session | 09:57 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | hey yacc so did u read what i wrote? | 09:57 |
| milly1234 | cwillu, hope so. | 09:57 |
| cwillu | but yes | 09:57 |
| iiiioooo | bye | 09:57 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: It still crashes when I try to navigate to gmail though. But the Youtube videos seems to work. | 09:58 |
| cwillu | Steven1, what video chipset? | 09:58 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, I use gnome a lot yes, is there a way to do all of this thru gui ? | 09:58 |
| SpinachHead | Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 | error message when installing. Even disable floppy in BIOS. Anyone know anything about this? | 09:58 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, one sec, but yes :) | 09:58 |
| bz0b | hey guys i installed this shockwave plugin via firefox but i cant seem to find it to remove it, but i can disable it in firefox, how do i actually get rid of that | 09:58 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: I don't know what a chipset is. But I have a ATI Radeon X850 Video Card. | 09:58 |
| cwillu | Steven1, okay, there's another fix for that, but one sec | 09:58 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Ok cool | 09:59 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, gvfs is the new replacement for gnome-vfs (big stability improvements, etc) | 09:59 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | can someone please help me w/ my bootup problem? | 09:59 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Wow it crashed and I was just sitting on the homepage that time. | 09:59 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, and as an added bonus, if you install gvfs-fuse, then you'll get a .gvfs folder in your home directory, which will have a folder for each gnome mount | 09:59 |
| cwillu | Steven1, run it from a command line, and pastebin me the output when it crashes | 10:00 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | Steven1 | 10:00 |
| ubot5 | Steven1: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 10:00 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: What's the command? Firefox? | 10:00 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | what does it mean when i boot up and it says kinit: no resume image | 10:00 |
| cwillu | yes | 10:00 |
| milly1234 | lowercase: firefox | 10:00 |
| ere4si | [DS]DragonSlayer: did you recently install vid drivers? | 10:00 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, you should be able to enter a url in nautilus as smb://<host>/<share> | 10:00 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | no | 10:00 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, just sudo apt-get install gvfs ? | 10:00 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: OK hopefully I can navigate to pastebin alright lol. | 10:00 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | all i did was restart | 10:00 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | and it screw up | 10:00 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, you already have gvfs (for within nautilus and any other gnome app), so smb:// urls should work | 10:01 |
| yacc | [DS]DragonSlayer: my hint would be to boot with the Live CD and see what's on your disc. | 10:01 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, ah you mean in the default install ? nice I will try it on a network share right now | 10:01 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | what do u mean yacc? | 10:01 |
| yacc | [DS]DragonSlayer: The no resume image message is normal, meaning just that early stages of booting decided that you are not resuming a hibernate state. | 10:01 |
| skaslev | Hello! Does anybody know how to disable the default Gnome key bindings to Alt-V and Alt-N, so they don't mess up with emacs? | 10:01 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, if you need support for other apps (command line, non-gnome compliant apps), then you can install gvfs-fuse, which will let them access those mounts via /home/carbonflux/.gvfs/<share name> | 10:01 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, if you've got other linux boxes, then sftp:// works too :) | 10:02 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | yeah it takes me to the terminal | 10:02 |
| yacc | [DS]DragonSlayer: But after that you should be getting more ;) | 10:02 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | but what do i do there? | 10:02 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | yes it ask me to login | 10:02 |
| Malteiner | hi there, does anybody of you know how i can change the application that starts up in gnome if i connect my ipod? i already managed to change it in the past, but can't remeber anymore (would lik to have amarok instead of rhytmbox) | 10:02 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | once i login | 10:02 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, well, sftp works if you have openssh-server installed o[n the target I should say | 10:02 |
| yacc | nwdz: well, any disc activity (I do not mean heavy) | 10:02 |

| Don_Miguel | the ubuntu pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org was not accessible earlier | 10:03 |
| nwdz | yacc: yea...it runs a bit..not much though...sometimes it get stuck and then works again.. | 10:04 |
| milly1234 | Steven1, all I see is a theme problem and a seg fault, doubt the theme is related to gmail problems | 10:04 |
| yacc | nwdz: E.g. I had a case of f-spot "killing" my box. Some stracing suggests that a broken jpg managed to make f-spot to go balistic memory-wise. With 1GB swap it manages to crash after some minutes. With 6GB swap I never figured out how long till OOM kills it ;) | 10:04 |
| cwillu | Steven1, open firefox, go to tools | add-ons | plugins, find 'shockwave flash', and hit the disable button | 10:04 |
| yacc | nwdz: you should check if you are having problems with run away apps. | 10:04 |
| === Gigamo_ is now known as Gigamo | ||
| cwillu | Steven1, restart firefox, and then see if you can still make it crash | 10:04 |
| Steven1 | milly1234: No. It's been having that theme problem for some time now. But I don't know. | 10:04 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Hitting addons crashes it. | 10:05 |
| === kjs__ is now known as kjs | ||
| cwillu | !? | 10:05 |
| yacc | nwdz: the sick thing about f-spot was that it did not have heavy disc usage, while at the same time it seems to have stolen all memory from the rest of system. Frozen mouse pointer, and so on. | 10:05 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | helllllo | 10:05 |
| markybob | damnit. is http://packages.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? | 10:05 |
| nwdz | yacc: i check all logs...nothing is written about the freezing thing...pretty wierd though... | 10:05 |
| cwillu | Steven1, firefox -safe-mode, and do the same | 10:05 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Ok Finally got the plugins menu and disabled Shockwave Flash. | 10:06 |
| yacc | nwdz: well, how long does the freeze keep? Are apps terminated? What's the output of free after a freeze? | 10:06 |
| cwillu | markybob, not letting me connect, although I can still update and install packages | 10:06 |
| nwdz | yacc: so is it f-spot? i havent used it though.... | 10:06 |
| josep | anybody knows how to add ed2klinks to firefox 3?? | 10:07 |
| yacc | nwdz: no, f-spot was one example => anything else that misbehaves can cause sorrow. | 10:07 |
| nwdz | yacc: normally i just restarted my system...i didnt check the system monitor yet regarding this...ohh...yea ...the gdesklets-python thing is also crashing... | 10:07 |
| kate321 | Hello, i would like to download Ubuntu from the main website , i can find only version 8.04 LTS does this is the latest version ? | 10:07 |
| cwillu | kate321, yes | 10:07 |
| nwdz | yacc: do you think python is the prblem? | 10:07 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: New error http://pastebin.org/32723 | 10:07 |
| yacc | nwdz: python is almost for sure not the problem, being a language, but some app written in Python might be a problem. | 10:08 |
| lassegul | kate321: yes its the latest. | 10:08 |
| yacc | nwdz: probably not although, as Python has automatic memory management. | 10:08 |
| cwillu | Steven1, you've got a weird system | 10:08 |
| yacc | nwdz: how much RAM do you have? | 10:08 |
| kahrytan | What is the package for glibc? | 10:08 |
| yacc | nwdz: how often do the crashes happen? | 10:08 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Yeah. I know. I was thinking of starting over again. | 10:08 |
| cwillu | yacc, python programs can certainly have memory leaks, just not quite as many as c apps | 10:08 |
| nwdz | yacc: yea..i mean gdesklets...cos ths app consumes lots of memory when i checked.. | 10:08 |
| cwillu | Steven1 do you have preload or prelink installed? | 10:09 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: But I've done that so many times. I really am not looking forward to it again. | 10:09 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i hve a small problem i was hoping someone could help me with - I am running Ybuntu 7.10 on a PIII 1.2 G CPU w/256RAM now of tcourse this isnt enough Ram to run Live CD so I had to use the ALT CD. A lot of u will thinking im crazy running this os on this comp but ubunut functions MUCH better and FASTER than Xubuntu did on it. Ther only glitch i have is the initial softwar update, its to big for my comp to handle - it locks up and wont even ge | 10:09 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: I don't know what those are? | 10:09 |
| yacc | cwillu: I know, it's just a different kind of memory leak ;) (been doing python as it happens for over a decade ;) ) | 10:09 |
| nwdz | yacc: the crashes are random...but works proper after the restart | 10:10 |
| yacc | nwdz: but how often | 10:10 |
| cwillu | Steven1, what is Mac4Lin? | 10:10 |
| dubby | hey anyone, is having both ufw and iptables on the same system ok, inefficient, or what? | 10:10 |
| yacc | nwdz: see privmsg | 10:10 |
| cwillu | dubby, ufw uses iptables afaik | 10:10 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: Stuff that makes Ubuntu look like Mac | 10:10 |
| cwillu | Steven1, where did you get it from? | 10:11 |
| kahrytan | What is the package for glibc? | 10:11 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: I believe there is a link on the ubuntu forums | 10:11 |
| yacc | nwdz: basically if it's memory related, reducing the amount of memory (swap in this case) should trigger it more often and make it easier to reproduce. | 10:11 |
| cwillu | Steven1, and that helps me how? :p | 10:11 |
| nwdz | yacc: lemme turn off the swap and check... | 10:12 |
| yacc | nwdz: actually, it might make your box even usuable, because without swap the OOM-killer will start its work way faster. | 10:12 |
| cwillu | nwdz, you getting random applications closing? | 10:12 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: I don't know. You asked me where I got it. That's where. | 10:12 |
| Oprtz | i use a picture for skydome, when i restart my ubuntu machine, the desktop cube dont show the picture, every time i need background picture i set it in CCSm | 10:12 |
| nwdz | as for today..no crash yet.. | 10:12 |
| cwillu | Steven1, I was hoping you had the actual link :p | 10:12 |
| cwillu | anyways | 10:12 |
| cwillu | Steven1, I'm working on a hunch, but how easy is it to uninstall? | 10:12 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: I installed it a long time ago. | 10:12 |
| yacc | nwdz: it's usually, IMHE, not the oom-kill that is the biggest hassle, but using up all the swap (==trashing) that can take a very very long time. | 10:12 |
| nwdz | cwillu:nopes...except for gdesklets.. | 10:13 |

| Steven1 | cwillu: Hard apparently. I can't seem to install any emerald themes over it. | 10:13 |
| whiteeagle | Ok, this is very strange yesterday I could do an upgrade and the upgrader could pass to the stage where it tells me that the upgrade will take how many MBs and how much time and it asked me do I want to continue, but I had something that came up and I said "n" and the installer quit, today my internet connection (as you can see) is fine but I can't pass thru the second step, because I get this http://rafb.net/p/wtGlrx82.txt | 10:13 |
| cwillu | Steven1, I'm just tempted to blame it | 10:13 |
| Steven1 | cwillu: What did you mean by did I have preload or prelink? Should I install those? | 10:13 |
| cwillu | Steven1, can you make up a new user, log in as them, and see if firefox still crahses? | 10:14 |
| cwillu | Steven1, no, don't install them | 10:14 |

| emptychair | Is it possible to run Ubuntu hardy heron from an external hard drive on a mac? | 10:14 |

| cwillu | shthap3ns, most motherboard 'hardware raid' isn't actually hardware raid (in that hardware raid is transparent to the os, where as hardware raid relies on extensive os support) | 10:27 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, under linux, 'software raid' is recommended over mb raid | 10:27 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, it's possible to make it work, but it's not really worth it (the software raid tends to get better performance) | 10:27 |
| whiteeagle | cmol: I think that gedit stores a hidden backup in the folder | 10:27 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | emptychair - thanz its upgarding now FAST - sometimes NO GUI is the ONLY way to go | 10:27 |
| whiteeagle | cmol: I think it ended with a ~ | 10:28 |
| whiteeagle | cmol: that saved me a lot of times | 10:28 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, I don't see anyway to actually use cifs | 10:28 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | fogive spelling - = vicodin,valium | 10:28 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, other then as a protocol | 10:28 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, that dialog should set up a samba share, I don't know whether it requires samba to be installed first though; try setting up a guest share and see if you can connect via smb://localhost/share-name | 10:28 |
| shthap3ns | cwillu: oh, i was advised to use hardware over software -- i was told that it was like a video card versus software rendering? | 10:28 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, yes, but mb raid isn't hardware raid :) | 10:28 |
| elhoir | hello, does anyone knows what is happening with getdeb repository? | 10:28 |
| shthap3ns | doh! | 10:29 |
| whiteeagle | elhoir: ? | 10:29 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | anyopne use Puppy? | 10:29 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, there's a world of difference between a card with true raid support and what passes for raid support on a mobo | 10:29 |
| elhoir | whiteeagle: www.getdeb.net, its repository does not work yet | 10:29 |
| Carbonflux | cifs is the protocol used by windows for shares, ok, but that is supported by samba, so why is the smbmount depreciated and a message say to use cifs, it should already be using cifs thru samba. | 10:29 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | me JUST figured out why Compiz no worked - i was setting it a x16 bit colour not 24 - derrrrrrr | 10:29 |
| shthap3ns | cwillu: could you kindly direct me to some documentation on configuring software raid in ubuntu? | 10:29 |
| Carbonflux | anyway, this is not making sense to me, I better read some more heh | 10:30 |
| zcat[1] | cwillu: 'fake raid' -- all the nonportability of hardware raid with none of the performance advantages :) | 10:30 |
| whiteeagle | elhoir: why not contact them? | 10:30 |
| whiteeagle | @ getdeb.net | 10:30 |
| ackbahr | Hello again everyone, I'm looking for a way to get rid completely of my nvidia/ATI drivers (don't even know which is installed....) to start it over again. Anyone could help me do this? | 10:30 |
| ubot5 | whiteeagle: Error: "getdeb.net" is not a valid command. | 10:30 |
| cwillu | zcat[1], -> shthap3ns | 10:30 |
| oddalot | lol | 10:30 |
| zcat[1] | yeah.. | 10:30 |
| whiteeagle | @ubotu | 10:30 |
| ubot5 | whiteeagle: Error: "ubotu" is not a valid command. | 10:30 |
| cmol | whiteeagle: I found the file, but is that from before my update from gutsy to hardy? | 10:30 |
| Carbonflux | there is no cifmount command ether | 10:30 |
| Carbonflux | maybe just mount ? | 10:30 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, cifs is mounted via the normal mount command | 10:30 |
| cwillu | yes | 10:30 |
| Carbonflux | blaa! | 10:30 |
| whiteeagle | cmol: I don't know exactly | 10:30 |
| elhoir | whiteeagle: how? | 10:30 |
| cwillu | mount //foo/bar /mount/point -t cifs | 10:30 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, thanks :) | 10:31 |
| whiteeagle | elhoir: by mail | 10:31 |
| cwillu | with a tonne of options to allow other things | 10:31 |
| whiteeagle | elhoir: ;) | 10:31 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, now, what font are you using? I need to go yell at somebody :p | 10:31 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, one sec | 10:31 |
| cwillu | bah | 10:31 |
| shthap3ns | zcat[1], cwillu: thanks! good to know that. maybe i should've done more research :/ | 10:31 |
| zcat[1] | software raid in ubuntu is really easy to set up.. just use the alternative disk and it's pretty intuative | 10:31 |
| cwillu | ubotu? where art thou, ubotu? | 10:31 |
| elhoir | whiteeagle: ok i am writing it right now LOL thanks hehe | 10:31 |
| cmol | whiteeagle: I have made changes to the file afterwards so i persume it would be that version of the file i'd revert? | 10:32 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid is in theory the right place to look, but I'm not sure if its up to date | 10:32 |
| shthap3ns | what do you mean use the alternative disk? i'm quite the linux noob. it took me 2 days to figure out how to set permissions with samba correctly | 10:32 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, heh, default xchat font, heh I understand the "condition" that requires precision in language, lots of new brain research about it, so its not your fault :) | 10:32 |
| whiteeagle | cmol: yes | 10:33 |
| zcat[1] | I don't think I've ever seen a genuine hardware raid controller... | 10:33 |
| shthap3ns | cwillu: thanks, i'll look around too | 10:33 |
| whiteeagle | cmol: in that case yes | 10:33 |
| smmagic | lol bad ubuntu | 10:33 |
| zcat[1] | seen plenty of fake raid ones | 10:33 |
| cwillu | zcat[1], all our servers had them at my last job | 10:33 |
| cwillu | cost as much as a computer does nowadays | 10:33 |
| cwillu | but it's nice to have hotswap completely transparent to the os | 10:34 |
| cmol | whiteeagle: Damn.. And the guys at launchpad doesn't answer.. | 10:34 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Oprtz: this i know - but what is skydome - ive selected itr a few times and it does NADA | 10:34 |
| whiteeagle | have you heard? Hans reiser convicted of first degree murder | 10:34 |
| zcat[1] | actually no, I have on old netfinity in the garage that's got genuine raid... | 10:34 |
| shthap3ns | "These systems are not extremely desirable for use with Ubuntu; the completely software raid described above is better." -- does this mean i should turn off the RAID options in the mobo bios? | 10:34 |
| zcat[1] | and a 450MHz CPU | 10:34 |
| Cyr4x | i've got a sound issue | 10:34 |
| cwillu | zcat[1], actually tripped me up once, because one of the live cd's I used had native support for the controller, and so showed me the actual drives as devices as well as the logical devices | 10:34 |
| Cyr4x | swapped channels | 10:34 |
| cwillu | N1N31NCHN41L5, look up when you're switching desktops on the cube via the mouse | 10:35 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, yes. However, are you dual booting? | 10:35 |
| shthap3ns | no, i'm not | 10:35 |
| rohan | hi.. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/222567 ---> can someone please confirm this bug? | 10:35 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Oprtz: what effect is it supposed toi have | 10:35 |
| Cyr4x | i've got an amplifier connected to my sb audigy card | 10:35 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 222567 in apt "System hangs momentarily while using apt-get or aptitude" [Undecided,New] | 10:35 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, okay | 10:35 |
| DistroJockey | N1N31NCHN41L5: skydome is a pic that goes behind your rotating cube | 10:36 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, obviously, a linux software raid isn't readable by windows | 10:36 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | does it show something above cube when u rotate usnig mouse??? | 10:36 |
| Cyr4x | to "front speakers" nest | 10:36 |
| shthap3ns | cwillu: should i already reinstall ubuntu after i change it back? | 10:36 |
| zcat[1] | N1N31NCHN41L5: pretty background behind the cube.. you can set an image or the default is a colour gradient | 10:36 |
| shthap3ns | or, rather, will i need to? | 10:36 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, the server install cd can handle making the software automatically (and installing ubuntu-desktop will give you a normal desktop after) | 10:36 |
| Cyr4x | and i have swapped channels left is right and right is left | 10:36 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, the brain can't handle the phase problems when decoding some words or structures, its different for different people, mostly "spelling nazi's" have this problem, its a form of autism in terms of the brain, I have never seen a? one before tho, its a natural defense to hide disability behind intelligence which I respect, I will try to watch the use of? because I know you can't control it. | 10:36 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | NICE - I'll try it again an see if i can makew it worjk this time | 10:36 |
| Cyr4x | can i reswap this in alsa or sth? | 10:36 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, ya, reinstall from the server would be best | 10:36 |
| Cyr4x | i mean switch* | 10:36 |
| Cyr4x | not swap | 10:36 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, who's trolling now? :p | 10:37 |
| shthap3ns | i can install the desktop via command line? | 10:37 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ehich is better in Mndriva - KDE or Gnome - i know Gnome from Normal ubuntu use so go with it???? | 10:37 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, serious modern brain research, I did not want to say anything but you forced my hand, I am more then will to call it being "smart" which you clearly are, but in reality its a disability, we all have them in one form or another after all. | 10:38 |
| Cyr4x | i can connect left speaker to right nest in amplifier etc. but that's not a good solution | 10:38 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, comes from staring at resumes written by those with a less than excellent command of the english language, despite having been born in canada | 10:38 |
| Carbonflux | no | 10:38 |
| Carbonflux | its a problem in the brain | 10:38 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, don't worry, I'm well aware of my autistic tendencies (might note that this conversation would be better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic though :p) | 10:38 |
| cmol | do anybody know about this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/205990 | 10:38 |

| N1N31NCHN41L5 | shthap3ns: YES u can - how i added xfce to this copy of ubuntu | 10:38 |
| elkbuntu | Carbonflux, neuro research is not a topic for a support channel | 10:39 |
| * Carbonflux nods | 10:39 | |
| shthap3ns | ic | 10:39 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i THINK its sudo aptitutude xubuntu desktop | 10:39 |

| N1N31NCHN41L5 | FAST & EASY - even for a total NEWB like me | 10:40 |
| shthap3ns | ahh, okay' | 10:40 |
| shthap3ns | thanks everyone, and thank you, cwillu. i'm off to try it out | 10:40 |
| cwillu | shthap3ns, sorry, yes; apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will give you a normal desktop-install after you've installed the server in order to get the raid | 10:40 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | zcat thank you i forgot the - between xubuntu and deskyop , a showstopper | 10:40 |
| zcat[1] | cwillu: you don't have to do a server install for raid, just an alternative CD install | 10:41 |
| zcat[1] | at least I think not.. | 10:41 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | zcat[1]: should i go kde or gnome with mandriva??? | 10:41 |
| Oprtz | just plugin A4teck usb webcam into my ubuntu machine, the light of camera is ON, how to install it ? | 10:41 |
| cwillu | zcat[1], could be, I've been meaning to move to raid (actually more of a jbod, I have good backups) for a while now | 10:41 |
| zcat[1] | N1N31NCHN41L5: yes, probably.. | 10:41 |
| jtravnick | do we have to manually install samba how in hardy? | 10:41 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i know Gnome decent from Ubuntu | 10:41 |

| cwillu | Sonic132, firefox crashy guy? | 10:43 |
| compwiz18_ | Y-Town, I think that rsync can do network sync, are you using ssh or ftp or something? | 10:43 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: Yeah. | 10:43 |

| Y-Town | compwiz18_: ftp.mysite.com :o) | 10:44 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: do you have a question to do with ubuntu support ? | 10:44 |

| Fritzel | could someone take a look at http://pastebin.ca/1001586 for me, this makes no sense, why does it take 20 seconds to do 20 pings to my ISP but to a lotro.com it takes 1m45sec to do the same thing. BUT and this is the confusing part, the latency is practically the same?? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Fritzel: different hosts on different network, different routes | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Fritzel: many things can effect that | 10:49 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | now anpther ubuntu q? what does anyuone know abiut Open GEU? | 10:49 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, dns requests take time not included in the ping time | 10:50 |
| Fritzel | ikonia, with the same latency? | 10:50 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | sorry OpenGEU | 10:50 |
| quentusrex | Is there a reasonable way to record the total data transfer of a file over a port? I'm going to be sharing a movie library with friends, and I'd like to know which file is the most popular. | 10:50 |
| ikonia | Fritzel: latency is an interesting term which (debatably) can be argued in a number of ways | 10:50 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, did ff still crash when you ran it as firefox -safe-mode?" | 10:50 |
| ikonia | quentusrex: ntop maybe able to help | 10:50 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, so the latency in a ping is not the duration of the ping, but rather the duration of a dns lookup? that seems a bit off | 10:50 |
| zcat[1] | quentusrex: shared how? set up apache and then run something like webalizer | 10:50 |
| cwillu | no, but it does a dns request for each ping | 10:51 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: I didn't try that yet. But the new profile works great. I was just wondering if I could transplant the bookmarks and buttons from my old profile to the new one. | 10:51 |
| druggy_ | nvidia proprietary driver which is in ubuntu repository doesnt work, any ideas how to fix it? | 10:51 |

| quentusrex | they'll be shared over vlc with vod | 10:51 |
| druggy_ | apart form using nv instead of nvidia ofcourse... | 10:51 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, okay, close ff, rerun it with -P, setting it back to the original one | 10:51 |
| oddalot | GET UP STAND UP, DON'T GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT, GET UP STAND UP, DON'T GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT | 10:51 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, then close it (or let it crash), and rerun with -safe-mode | 10:51 |
| ikonia | oddalot: stop that now please. | 10:51 |
| zcat[1] | quentusrex: there's probably a package or plugin to generate stats for that, I don't know tho | 10:51 |
| oddalot | sorry, the ubuntu spirit filled me | 10:52 |
| zcat[1] | oddalot: this is #ubuntu, not #lyrics | 10:52 |

| imran_ms_ | was wondering what to do as i installed xubuntu on top of xp and now i cant see my xp during bott | 10:52 |

| cwillu | Sonic132, shouldn't have to reset/restore | 10:53 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, that'll make the changes permanent, which I don't think you want | 10:53 |
| quentusrex | zcat[1], vlc uses the http interface and you can access the files like this: 192.168.1.100:8080/movie1.avi | 10:53 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: Ok | 10:53 |

| quentusrex | I'm looking for a way to monitor all traffic for that link | 10:53 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: It still crashes. | 10:53 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, but basically step through the options, figure out which extensions/add-ons are triggering the problem | 10:53 |
| imran_ms_ | ikonia yup | 10:53 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: On gmail | 10:53 |
| ikonia | imran_ms_: looks like grub didn't get configured correctly at install. Can you see your XP partition from within xubuntu | 10:53 |
| zcat[1] | how about gmail in html mode? | 10:54 |
| imran_ms_ | with ntfs-3g? | 10:54 |
| Sonic132 | zcat[1]: What are you talking about? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | imran_ms_: or just the read only driver | 10:54 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, one sec | 10:54 |
| ikonia | imran_ms_: just checking the data is still there | 10:54 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, gmail has an html-only mode | 10:54 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: Didn't realize. | 10:54 |
| cwillu | not sure how you get into it without having it crash first though ( Sonic132 , zcat[1] ) | 10:54 |
| zcat[1] | Sonic132: heaps faster on a slow connection too :) | 10:54 |
| zcat[1] | hmm.. | 10:55 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, okay, I think I screwed up on how to run safe-mode :p | 10:55 |
| imran_ms_ | umm ikonia how would i do that? try mounting them by trial and error? | 10:55 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: OK | 10:55 |
| ikonia | imran_ms_: what partition is your windows partition on ? | 10:55 |
| anaoum | i have ubuntu server installed on a VPS, but no login prompt is at the console? | 10:56 |
| cwillu | zcat[1], am I missing something? on my machine, firefox -safe-mode still has the flashplugin active :( | 10:56 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: It gives me the option to disable all addons | 10:56 |
| ikonia | anaoum: what do you have ? | 10:56 |
| imran_ms_ | not sure ikonia | 10:56 |
| cmol | usplash knowledge anyone? | 10:57 |
| stdin | Sonic132, zcat[1], cwillu: I think it's http:/mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html | 10:57 |
| ikonia | imran_ms_: how many disks do you have in your system ? | 10:57 |
| zcat[1] | gmail.com/h/ I think forces html mode? | 10:57 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, ya, I just tried it on my end, it doesn't do anything :) | 10:57 |
| ikonia | cmol: what's up | 10:57 |
| stdin | Sonic132, * http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html | 10:57 |
| imran_ms_ | 1. but there are 4 partitions | 10:57 |
| imran_ms_ | 1 xub, 3 windows | 10:57 |
| ikonia | imran_ms_: ok can you please put "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" output into a pastebin please. | 10:57 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, can you pastebin the output of "locate plugins|grep firefox" | 10:57 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | 10:57 |
| ubot5 | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 10:57 |
| anaoum | ikonia: the last line just reads " * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]" | 10:57 |
| imran_ms_ | anaoum that could be a problem with your graphics card config | 10:58 |
| anaoum | imran_ms_: its ubuntu server | 10:58 |
| cmol | ikonia: my usplash disappears whn booting. Boots in text mode starting at "reading files needed to boot" | 10:58 |
| anaoum | imran_ms_: im just after a console login | 10:58 |
| ikonia | anaoum: then what happens ? | 10:58 |
| cmol | ikonia: it started when i upgraded from gutsy to hardy | 10:58 |
| imran_ms_ | haha ok.. because i had the same problem with my ubuntu desktop... | 10:58 |
| ikonia | cmol: does it boot ok from then | 10:58 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, you can export the bookmarks from the bookmark manager, and reimport them on the other side | 10:58 |
| imran_ms_ | just thought it would be of help | 10:58 |
| anaoum | ikonia: nothing after loading rc.local | 10:58 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, add-ons might be best done by just reinstalling them one at a time | 10:58 |
| anaoum | ikonia theres nothing in rc.local btw | 10:59 |
| cmol | ikonia: it boots fine, but in text mode | 10:59 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: http://pastebin.org/32727 | 10:59 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, (note that any add-ons that say they're not compatible should not be installed) | 10:59 |
| imran_ms_ | rc.local is usually empty though....i think | 10:59 |
| anaoum | ikonia: its asthough /bin/login isn't being run | 10:59 |
| ikonia | anaoum: so it just hangs there ? | 10:59 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, okay, try just working with the new profile (export your bookmarks, and reinstall plugins) | 11:00 |
| anaoum | ikonia: i do not believe that the system is hung, it has just finished loading all it was told to load | 11:00 |
| anaoum | ikonia: what is it that actually tells the system to run /bin/login ? | 11:00 |
| Oprtz | just plugin A4teck usb webcam into my ubuntu machine, the light of camera is ON, how to install it ? Also install cheese program but it took to much time to open, and dont show webcam, how to install it ? thanks | 11:00 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: That's what I'm trying to do. That should fix it I would think | 11:00 |
| ikonia | anaoum: that should be swawned with the tty | 11:01 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, or at least say which plugin is at fault | 11:01 |
| cwillu | make sure you reopen gmail after each plugin, just to help sort it out | 11:01 |
| DATmafia | any one know how to enable screen reslution beyond 800x600 in virtual box? | 11:01 |
| Oprtz | bazhang: I just plugin A4teck usb webcam into my ubuntu machine, the light of camera is ON, how to install it ? Also install cheese program but it took to much time to open, and dont show webcam, how to install it ? thanks | 11:02 |

| DistroJockey | anaoum: I have the same thing on virtual console 8. Have you tried changing consoles? | 11:02 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: Ok. But it wasn't just gmail that was messing it up. It was crashing on just the FF homepage. | 11:02 |
| anaoum | DistroJockey: its a VPS, so i cant change consoles | 11:02 |
| __wintermute__ | Mmmm... Ubuntu is sexy | 11:02 |

| * cmol is getting tired of usplash | 11:03 | |
| bluevapour_ | Hey guys, im having a real problem at the moment with using my internet conection, i basically go afk for say 15minsutes, come back and my internet is completely gone | 11:03 |
| Sonic132 | usplash fails on me lol. | 11:04 |
| Sonic132 | It just does echo instead of a splash. | 11:04 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | __wintermute__: especially with compiz addaed | 11:04 |
| bluevapour_ | I cant ping router atall, however, ifconfig if set to dhcp will have changed its configuration, im using a8v-xe motherboard using via 6102 lan | 11:04 |
| cmol | Sonic132: after a hardy upgrade? | 11:04 |
| bluevapour_ | I hear my problem is an issue with the actual kernel, might at be true ? | 11:04 |
| __wintermute__ | yes just set mine up :D | 11:04 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: I upgraded to hard-dev a while ago and I believe that was when it stopped working. | 11:04 |
| __wintermute__ | actually apt-getting emerald right now | 11:05 |

| bluevapour_ | Anyone able to help | 11:05 |
| anaoum | DistroJockey: yes :) | 11:05 |
| __wintermute__ | emerald is a window manager | 11:06 |
| DistroJockey | anaoum: *nods* sorry, out of ideas | 11:06 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Yeah. But I'm not using Kubuntu. Only Ubuntu. | 11:06 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | and why dp so many people apt-get insstead of ust using aptitude | 11:06 |
| smmagic | because its shorter | 11:06 |
| __wintermute__ | im old school and like apt-get | 11:06 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | better than compiz or trying it out | 11:06 |
| __wintermute__ | its used with compiz | 11:06 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Wait no. I don't get any errors. It's almost like I turned off splash from grub. But I didn't. | 11:07 |
| cwillu | apt-get is the preferred approach (aptitude used to have better dependency support for full-upgrades, but I think it's deprecated now) | 11:07 |
| cmol | Sonic132: Me to.. You should try to reenter the UUID for your swap. It helped most the people in there | 11:07 |
| * Scrounch is now away: off | 11:07 | |
| __wintermute__ | N1N31NCHN41L5: goto synaptiv and search for emerald and install | 11:07 |
| bluevapour_ | I guess my problem is too confusing for you guys, ill wait for the wizkids to come on:S | 11:07 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | lol - im mreb and aptitiude is esier for me than apt-get i think - even though that hoe i learned | 11:07 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: I don't know how to do that. | 11:07 |
| jpatrick | !away > Scrounch | 11:07 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Besides it's not that big of a deal. | 11:07 |
| __wintermute__ | aptitude is apt-get btw | 11:07 |
| cwillu | N1N31NCHN41L5, apt-get install <package> is harder than aptitude install <package> ?:p | 11:07 |
| __wintermute__ | just in gui form | 11:08 |
| cwillu | __wintermute__, not quite | 11:08 |
| cmol | Sonic132: the solution in the first post worked for most people. Just not me.... | 11:08 |
| __wintermute__ | sorry talking about synaptic | 11:08 |
| soulc | ha ha ha what a douche | 11:08 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | well taht part is a GIVEN apt-get install or aptitude install - either way still gotta type install | 11:09 |
| anaoum | DistroJockey: thanks anyway :) | 11:09 |
| __wintermute__ | i tab it anyway | 11:09 |
| __wintermute__ | soulc who are you calling a douche | 11:09 |
| DistroJockey | anaoum: good luck. Maybe you need to check with your host :) | 11:09 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Maybe a reinstall of splashy and usplash would fix it? | 11:09 |
| soulc | soulc <- gibson fan | 11:09 |
| Sonic132 | cwillu: Anyway to transfer the buttons I had in my previous FF profile? | 11:10 |

| anaoum | ikonia: it does look like it is being spawned in my /etc/event.d/ttyX files | 11:10 |
| cwillu | Sonic132, which buttons did you have? | 11:10 |
| cmol | Sonic132: just reinstall the packages or what? | 11:10 |
| __wintermute__ | ive read all his books up to pattern recognition | 11:10 |

| __wintermute__ | well then yes i suppose he is a douche | 11:13 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Me either. So I don't know. I remember having it installed once. But I guess I uninstalled it for some reason. | 11:13 |
| neutrolize | hey maybe this is a stupid question but anybody who know how to adjust the volume i have no icon that indicates the type | 11:13 |
| soulc | I named machines after gibson stuff | 11:13 |
| tovare | cwillu, the symbols look like inverted question marks. | 11:14 |
| white_eagle | is there a way to know what packages I have installed and I haven | 11:14 |
| white_eagle | haven't used at all* | 11:14 |

| Sonic132 | cmol: reinstalling the main program and installing the theme. | 11:15 |
| white_eagle | from the system & hardware part , scroll down | 11:15 |
| white_eagle | neutrolize | 11:15 |
| cwillu | neutrolize, if you right click in an empty section of the panel, you should be able to add the volume control | 11:15 |
| neutrolize | thaks i will try that | 11:15 |
| cmol | ok.. Could you write to me if it helps? | 11:15 |
| cmol | sonic132:ok.. Could you write to me if it helps? | 11:15 |

| Jens2 | hello | 11:16 |
| === Jens2 is now known as JensT | ||
| white_eagle | ahhh is there any alternative way to upgrade to hardy? I don't like downloading OpenOffice.org and wasting my precious bandwith | 11:17 |
| white_eagle | I have a cap | 11:17 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: I'll try it real quick and give you the results. | 11:17 |
| white_eagle | and there are some packages I don't want to install | 11:17 |
| white_eagle | like OpenOffice.org | 11:17 |
| white_eagle | !alternative | 11:17 |
| ubot5 | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal | 11:17 |
| cmol | Sonic132: that's ok.. My classes starts soon (im from Denmark). I'll just leave this chat open, so you can tell :) | 11:17 |
| white_eagle | !minimal | 11:17 |
| ubot5 | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:17 |
| JensT | white_eagle: you can use the alternate cd to upgrade... | 11:18 |
| white_eagle | JensT: where can i find it? | 11:18 |
| JensT | downloading it isn't an option I supose? :p | 11:18 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Sonic132 well all i Know is that its 100% ubuntu based so when they upgrade tehy will go from Gutsy Gi=bbon to Hardy Heron as a CORE.. Woul u know how to load it on a comp with normal ubuntu without fuc8ing up both gruns - this machine is LINUX ONLY =, I removed ALL M$ from it - im still a neb and have ands want to learn a lot | 11:18 |
| white_eagle | JensT: oh, thats bad my cd-rom doesn't work :( | 11:18 |
| white_eagle | ah well | 11:18 |
| white_eagle | bye | 11:18 |
| cmol | white_eagle: cant you do update-manager -c? | 11:19 |
| white_eagle | cmol: I can | 11:19 |
| white_eagle | wait | 11:19 |
| white_eagle | bye | 11:19 |

| Fritzel | ok there is a problem with command line ping and or network tools one gives me one result and the other gives me a different result when performed at the same time to the same host, command line takes about 5 seconds per ping (with a latency of about 30ms) and network tools takes 1 second per ping (with a latency of about 30ms) they can't both be right | 11:20 |
| dubby | !boinc-manager | 11:21 |
| ubot5 | Factoid boinc-manager not found | 11:21 |
| Fritzel | could someone else please try pinging lotro.com and tell me if your results seem slow to come up | 11:21 |
| Fritzel | on the command line | 11:22 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: OK. It works. | 11:22 |
| JensT | Fritzel: 88.2ms, one ping every 3-4secs | 11:22 |
| coz_ | guys getting strange thing in terminal when doing sudo apt-get update "must be setuid root" | 11:22 |
| smmagic | Fritzel, Its fast | 11:22 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Splash screen shows up on shutdown and on restart. | 11:22 |
| smmagic | minimum 271ms | 11:22 |
| cmol | sonic132: Nice! What was it you did? | 11:23 |
| smmagic | Maximum 835ms | 11:23 |
| Fritzel | JensT, Thanks, smmagic that's not what I'm getting I'm getting 30ms and its still taking several seconds to do | 11:23 |
| smmagic | i'm in australia | 11:23 |
| Fritzel | smmagic, which to me makes no sense | 11:23 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Got splashy and then got the ubuntu splashy theme. There one themes for Edubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu I believe as well. They are all in synaptic. | 11:23 |
| smmagic | Its like instant for me, though | 11:24 |
| Sonic132 | *There are | 11:24 |
| cmol | sonic132: Thanks. i'll try it you :) | 11:24 |
| Fritzel | smmagic, where did you see the 835ms number? was that in the time field on the ping result? | 11:24 |
| Sonic132 | cmol: Your welcome. 'Night | 11:24 |
| JensT | Fritzel: if you ping a loca adres it takes les then 1ms, you don't want to ping every ms do you? | 11:24 |
| JensT | so there's a default delay | 11:24 |
| smmagic | I'm using windows atm | 11:24 |
| cmol | Sonic132: night :) | 11:24 |
| smmagic | So just cmd --> ping | 11:25 |
| smmagic | I can screenshot it if you like | 11:25 |
| Fritzel | JensT, no but there is a default interval of about a second per ping, why would it wait for 3-7 seconds between pings | 11:25 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ok so UBUNTU is a BOSSY OS - it like to BE IN CHARGE = specoiallywjen it comes to th gub - how do i add another Limixdiostro without totally killomg com - resultd of last 4 tried | 11:25 |
| Fritzel | JensT, the inconsistencies are what are bothering me, that and it keeps almost getting me killed in lord of the rings | 11:26 |
| Danskmand | HiHo :-) - I have set up a nice ubuntu server - when I did, it told me to encrypt my HD with LUKS, which I did. Now, when I reboot, it asks for the passphrase. I enter it and it boots. Perfect. Just, that the server is far away in the addic with no keyboard and monitor attached. Cant I somehow make the server boot automatically and f.ex. read the passphrase from a file ? | 11:26 |
| compwiz18_ | N1N31NCHN41L5, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst with the name of your distro | 11:26 |
| compwiz18_ | Danskmand, I think if you edit /etc/fstab correctly, it can do that | 11:26 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | that is more thga i nderstan - i am on uibuntu now on /dev/hda1 anf have Muppy008 installed on /dev/hda5 nit its likrd its NOT there | 11:27 |
| JensT | Fritzel, you are right, but it only seems to take 3-4secs on the host you gave me... | 11:27 |
| Danskmand | ....Or shall I setup /etc/crypttab ? | 11:28 |
| Fritzel | JensT, are you comcast by any chance? | 11:28 |
| JensT | google.com, google.be, google.us, all do a ping every second, but take from 10 (be) to 100(us) ms | 11:28 |
| JensT | Fritzel: no I ain't | 11:28 |
| Fritzel | -nod- could someone on comcast ping lotro.com please | 11:28 |
| Fritzel | I want to know the duration between pings, not the latency reported | 11:29 |
| JensT | N1N31NCHN41L5: just edit /etc/boot/menu.list | 11:30 |
| DistroJockey | Fritzel: the man page for ping states a default 1 second interval between pings | 11:30 |
| Fritzel | right my problem is it's not doing that | 11:30 |
| JensT | N1N31NCHN41L5: my bad, I didn't see you already got that reply | 11:30 |
| Fritzel | calling isp hang on | 11:30 |
| JensT | Fritzel: when I ping lotro.com it doesn't do that either... | 11:31 |
| DistroJockey | Fritzel: my results: 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 5722ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 260.031/260.207/260.383/0.176 ms | 11:31 |
| Fritzel | so it's most likely lotro.com? | 11:31 |
| DistroJockey | Fritzel: well, I should have had 5 pings in that time | 11:32 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ok jens if i pull up a copy of /etc/bott/menu.lst bold u add it for me - 2 reasons - #1 a document i can save for futrue ref #2 these drugs got me so i cant speel woth dog crap | 11:32 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | usinh pastebin | 11:32 |
| jtravnick | when i set up gutsy i had both nfs and sambo running if I remember correctly I went to do something and gutsy did this automatically for me. As I cant find either of these on my laptop witch i did an upgrade to but they are running in services on the laptop. I need to get these running on my desktop witch I did a fresh install of hardy do I have to install them manually now? | 11:32 |
| Fritzel | DistroJockey, yeah see there is the problem | 11:32 |
| alteregoa | how can i add a resolution using xrandr , 1024x768@60hz? | 11:32 |
| JensT | N1N31NCHN41L5: ok, but if you want to be in control of grub, you should know somethings about menu.list, or else, yeah, it would break... | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | Fritzel: must be them I guess | 11:33 |
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| alteregoa | if i type xrandr i only get 640x480 50 and 51 | 11:33 |
| Fritzel | well just for giggles I tried worldofwarcraft.com and I'm getting similar results | 11:33 |
| Fritzel | is there a massive internet fart in progress? | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | Fritzel: well, Hardy was released, so maybe ;) | 11:34 |
| DistroJockey | Fritzel: everyones trying to get it :) | 11:34 |
| JensT | Fritzel: when trying worldofwarcraft.com: 14 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 13023ms | 11:35 |
| Fritzel | DistroJockey, true though the major rush is over the repos are back to normal again | 11:35 |
| compwiz18_ | Fritzel, 40 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 39010ms @ worldofwarcraft.com | 11:35 |
| Fritzel | hmm ok both of those look right | 11:35 |
| JensT | so, must be them :p | 11:35 |
| Fritzel | more likely comcast has a branch giving them troubles | 11:35 |
| Fritzel | since I have it both at worldofwarcraft.com and lotro | 11:35 |
| alteregoa | war sux! | 11:35 |
| compwiz18_ | Fritzel, world of warcraft loads ok, it probably just doesn't respond to pings | 11:36 |
| Zargath | ssh tunneling, "server has disabled port forwarding". What is the setting to enable it ? | 11:36 |
| JensT | Fritzel: they don't look right, they both have 100% packet _loss_ | 11:36 |
| Fritzel | ohhh loss | 11:36 |
| Fritzel | I didn't see that | 11:36 |
| alteregoa | just another conspiracy, to made peoples think war is recommended | 11:36 |
| compwiz18_ | JensT, worldofwarcraft.com loads in firefox, just doesn't accept pings i think | 11:36 |
| Fritzel | I was just looking at the total duration | 11:36 |
| compwiz18_ | Fritzel, ^^^^ | 11:36 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i dont YET - but am reading and can use what u do to change based on additional distros i add to my othe icro partitions for micro puppy additions- Thank you - and then once i have that to go off - ica n trial an error - spent 4 hours with as guy said he could foic in 20 min so both worked - just got ubuntu up after 30+ codes - lol so i KNOW theres a lort to learn - just to much vidon and valium to do it first time now | 11:36 |
| Fritzel | so then that answers the question, we have a major internet fart going on | 11:36 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | OHHHHH and THAX all - SYSTEM is UPDATED | 11:37 |
| compwiz18_ | Am I the only one getting CTCPs from random people? | 11:37 |
| lassegul | JensT: yeah, i work as support for an ISP, and we get complaints about not being able to ping WOW servers all the freakin time. They have a ping block | 11:37 |
| Condoulo | I just have one curious question abut Wubi. o-O Why did Wubi download 64-bit automatically assuming I wanted 64-bit, even though my Windows install is 32-bit. Now I may have to go through the whole process again to get 32-bit so I get plugins working better. :P | 11:38 |
| microwaver | lassegul acl's for the lose :p? | 11:38 |
| compwiz18_ | Condoulo, the only plugin that won't work is Java | 11:38 |
| lassegul | microwaver: could seem so. | 11:38 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | lassegul: u know u can actually grt better fps on WOW in Linux after easy mods to wine than u can in windows | 11:39 |
| microwaver | lassegul, ting is, if you can't connect a server, you'll definitely could read it through the statuspaes | 11:39 |
| microwaver | N1N31NCHN41L5, how? | 11:39 |
| lassegul | N1N31NCHN41L5: dont care, hate wow :) | 11:39 |
| microwaver | N1N31NCHN41L5, i've been using wow in wine for a few months. but average fps is 16 or something. | 11:39 |
| Fritzel | N1N31NCHN41L5, microwaver yep that's the truth I typically get 60-90fps | 11:40 |
| jtravnick | well guess im on my own on getting this network back running. this is stupid go from automatically setting it up to having to manually getting everything and setting it up what where they thinking? | 11:40 |
| Fritzel | N1N31NCHN41L5, microwaver but I'm on a lotro kick right now ^^ | 11:40 |
| microwaver | Fritzel, Lotro? what tweaks did you perform extra? | 11:40 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ya can boost 30-45fps pes sec in linux | 11:40 |
| dustrial | hi all, i need some help: "waiting for root file system" before system drops me to busy box console ... pls | 11:40 |
| microwaver | N1N31NCHN41L5, tell me how :) | 11:41 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, none, I just used the native launcher and everythings good | 11:41 |
| lassegul | jtravnick: im sorry, i dont understand your problem. samba is handled in about the same way in hardy as gutsy | 11:41 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, I think the website is lotrolinux.com or something like that | 11:41 |
| microwaver | Fritzel, than you're luckier than me. | 11:41 |
| cky | dustrial: Can you put your /etc/fstab in the pastebin? | 11:41 |
| microwaver | Fritzel, lotro offers a wow launcher or what do you mean? | 11:41 |
| dustrial | cky yeah | 11:42 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, I mean someone wrote a launcher for Lotro that's linux native | 11:42 |
| microwaver | Fritzel, Aha, I was searching for the fps boost for Wow :) | 11:42 |
| pisse | Hi! I just installed Warcraft III with wine.. the installation worked fine but when I get to the menu in the game it's all very very dark, almost black. But I can use the menu through my keyboard pushing 'L' for example. Anyone who's got any ideas? | 11:42 |
| pisse | Sound works... | 11:43 |
| microwaver | pisse, opengl? | 11:43 |
| dustrial | cky: http://pastebin.com/d677c7f0c | 11:43 |
| Fritzel | pisse, sorry can't help you there, warcraft3 works perfect here except for that pesky save bug | 11:43 |
| cky | dustrial: Thanks. | 11:43 |
| pisse | microwaver: What do you mean? I got direct rendering working and so on the comp | 11:44 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | fritz - u remember tutorial addy??? | 11:44 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | mir i kinda fucked up on valium and vicodin an tryinto fix 3 comp - give my slo mind a chnce top seach foor tutorial - i dont play wow but bookmarejed bbecause of what it did. Unfortunaetly that (tjid) comop TOTALLY died | 11:44 |
| pisse | Fritzel: too bad.. do you have nvidia or radeon card? | 11:44 |
| jtravnick | lassegul, in gutsy i went to do something dont remember what and gutsy told me i needed to set samba up and would i like it to do it for me and it just did it. with hardy ive been looking for two days now on setting it up and nothing I do remember I did not have to go to Synaptic and figure out what packages i needed | 11:44 |
| Fritzel | N1N31NCHN41L5, for which game? | 11:44 |
| microwaver | pisse, isn't in the xorg.conf a section where you set opengl as rendering. | 11:44 |
| Fritzel | pisse, I'm nvidia for life | 11:44 |
| rocklund | anyone know how to lock the mouse to a certain event-device using evdev as driver in xorg.org (the mouse device keep changing between event1 and event2 at each boot) | 11:44 |
| lassegul | jtravnick: by default Ubuntu accesses windows shares. is this what you want to do or do you want to share something from ubuntu? | 11:45 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | pisse there is a wow room gere might find better answerws | 11:45 |
| pisse | microwaver: how does that look? | 11:45 |
| lassegul | jtravnick: if you want to share a folder, just right click on it and select sharing options, that should do the trick. | 11:45 |
| microwaver | pisse, problem, at the moment I can't really help you, since Im on my worklaptop. | 11:45 |
| pisse | N1N31NCHN41L5: I'll try it out.. thnx | 11:45 |
| cky | dustrial: What were the lines prior to the "waiting for root file system"? | 11:46 |
| pisse | microwaver: ah ok.. =/ thnx anyway | 11:46 |
| tARrAScH | Hi, I don't like the file search function in 8.04, Can I use the old search tool somehow? | 11:46 |
| jtravnick | lassegul, what I have is three linux systems with one of them dual booting windows I want to be able to share files between all of them | 11:46 |
| Fritzel | anyway this is the launcher I installed to use lotro on linux http://lotrolinux.com/ | 11:46 |
| pisse | microwaver: though I have a line in xorg.conf saying Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" | 11:46 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | pisse its /j @@wow | 11:46 |
| pisse | microwaver: turn that on instead? | 11:46 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | grr ## | 11:47 |
| lassegul | jtravnick: ok. do you want to use nfs or samba (im no nfs expert mind you) | 11:47 |
| Fritzel | the game itsself works almost completely perfect | 11:47 |
| dustrial | cky: so there is some information i want to state as well | 11:47 |
| cky | dustrial: Sure. | 11:47 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | AME ACTULLY RUNS BETTER IN lINU THAN ITS OWN HOME IN WINDOWSLAND | 11:47 |
| microwaver | pisse, think that's a good way to startn | 11:47 |
| rocklund | is there another way of getting a multibutton mouse to work exept by using evdev? | 11:48 |
| microwaver | N1N31NCHN41L5, what does ? | 11:48 |
| jtravnick | lassegul, im thinking since i do use the windows every now and than i should use samba | 11:48 |
| Fritzel | N1N31NCHN41L5, yeah what was that? | 11:48 |
| dustrial | cky: http://pastebin.com/m3ef234a9 added output of ls -l uuid | 11:48 |
| microwaver | pisse, i'm googling some of the guides I followed to adapt my xorg.conf | 11:48 |
| cky | dustrial: Cool. | 11:48 |
| Typhox | hi | 11:48 |
| lassegul | jtravnick: lets jump over to channel #jtravenick quick and sort this out. | 11:48 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | yup its /j ##wow | 11:48 |
| Typhox | where do i post bugs in kgeography ? | 11:48 |
| jtravnick | lassegul, k | 11:49 |
| lassegul | jtravnick: #jtravnick | 11:49 |
| JensT | I'm using 8.04 for 5 day's now, and still no updates? is this normal? | 11:49 |
| cky | dustrial: Good, your UUIDs aren't out of sync or anything (except that sdb became sda, but that's no problem). | 11:49 |
| pisse | microwaver: ok I'll try it out.. brb :] | 11:49 |
| DistroJockey | JensT: no idea what normal is, but none here either | 11:50 |
| dustrial | cky : well they are changing often | 11:50 |
| dustrial | cky : this webpage says there is conflict in some tools http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11653 | 11:50 |
| Typhox | JensT before you used it there where 50 - 100 updates per day | 11:50 |
| Fritzel | N1N31NCHN41L5, microwaver just in case your interested, I took this video the other day (keep in mind record my desktop slowed down the fps to a crawl when I run it without recording it is easily 30fps on each game http://youtube.com/watch?v=zRYYWa-a7NE | 11:50 |
| cky | dustrial: That's okay too. However, what error messages were printed before the "waiting for root filesystem"? | 11:50 |
| cky | dustrial: I'm checking the link now. | 11:51 |
| microwaver | Fritzel, what graka do you have? | 11:51 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, graka = ? | 11:51 |
| Typhox | videocard | 11:51 |
| JensT | Typhox: yeah, indeed, so, how come no new one's now? there are still bugs... | 11:51 |
| dustrial | well just normal booting stuff everything seems to be okay, but i am new to linux somehow, so what should i consult? | 11:51 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, Geforce 7900 GS 512MB edition, thanks Typhox | 11:51 |
| dustrial | cky | 11:51 |
| Typhox | JensT I don't know | 11:52 |
| vistakiller | Fritzel there is problem with some nvidia cards in heron | 11:52 |
| Typhox | where do i post bugs in kgeography ? | 11:52 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | cool - i DONT wow - but thatt is a BIG holback for helping people try ubunuy | 11:52 |
| vistakiller | have you try envyng ? | 11:52 |
| Fritzel | vistakiller, what's the problem supposed to be? | 11:52 |
| chidge | hi, im using normal ubuntu 8.04 and id like to try xfce - can i just 'apt-get install XFCE' and switch to it somehow? this wont affect gnome either will it? | 11:52 |
| vistakiller | it cant setup nvidia cards | 11:52 |
| pisse | microwaver: didn't work :( same thing | 11:53 |
| vistakiller | i have the same problem with my 8800gts | 11:53 |
| microwaver | Fritzel, no wonder.... I'm using an ATI RADEON X600 | 11:53 |
| Fritzel | vistakiller, mine worked fine, did you try envyng? it's never failed me yet | 11:53 |
| microwaver | pisse, it's just the menu, or the hwole game, | 11:53 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ENY | 11:53 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ENVY | 11:53 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ENY | 11:53 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Eny solved the ati nvida problems95% of the tim | 11:53 |
| tARrAScH | chidge, i think the package name is something a bit else, but yes u can (and u have yo be root), only way it affect gnome is that you'll also have the xfce applications useable from the menus in GNOME too (and vice verse) | 11:53 |
| microwaver | pisse, what GPU do you got? | 11:54 |
| pisse | microwaver: I haven't tried starting the game.. I don't know any shortcuts and so.. | 11:54 |
| DistroJockey | chidge: sudo apt-get instal xubuntu-desktop should do it | 11:54 |
| pisse | microwaver: GPU? | 11:54 |
| DistroJockey | install^ | 11:54 |
| microwaver | pisse, grafic card? | 11:54 |
| dustrial | envy is fine, but its not soupported N1N31NCHN41L5 | 11:54 |
| pisse | microwaver: ATI Radeon 9600 | 11:54 |
| microwaver | pisse, goody. | 11:54 |
| cky | dustrial: Sorry, what was your last message to me? I didn't see anything beyond my name. | 11:54 |
| DistroJockey | chidge: or you can use sudo tasksel | 11:54 |
| DJones | dustrial: it depends, envyng the latest version is part of ubuntu now | 11:54 |
| dustrial | DJones: oh, thats nice | 11:55 |
| DJones | !info envyng | 11:55 |
| ubot5 | Package envyng does not exist in gutsy | 11:55 |
| DJones | !info hardy envyng | 11:55 |
| dustrial | well just normal booting stuff everything seems to be okay, but i am new to linux somehow, so what should i consult? | 11:55 |
| ubot5 | Package hardy does not exist in gutsy | 11:55 |
| Fritzel | hehe | 11:55 |
| dustrial | cky :well just normal booting stuff everything seems to be okay, but i am new to linux somehow, so what should i consult? | 11:55 |
| * Fritzel slaps ubot5 | 11:55 | |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | that or sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desltop - YES it will give u ghoice og gnow or xfce - just chande session before login - i did that on here - but wioerdlt ubuntu is FASTER than xubuntu was on this OLD comp | 11:55 |
| tARrAScH | chidge, then after install as distrojockey said, log out and switch session type from the login-screen | 11:55 |
| microwaver | pisse, did you try a guide or something? or just did wine warcraftIII.exe ? | 11:55 |
| DJones | i guess !info's not updated on ubot5 | 11:55 |
| cky | dustrial: I was asking for the error messages so I could try to figure out what may be causing the issue...like I said, the UUID mapping sounds all good, so maybe there is something else it was trying to find.... | 11:56 |
| pisse | I used the menu: Applications --> Wine --> Programs --> Warcraft III --> Warcraft III | 11:56 |
| pisse | microwaver: see above | 11:56 |
| dustrial | cky : i saw UUIDs changeing as well | 11:56 |
| microwaver | pisse, so you didn't config anything for your drivers etc? | 11:56 |
| Fritzel | pisse, menu works for me | 11:57 |
| cky | dustrial: What?!!! That's not supposed to happen! | 11:57 |
| chidge | tARrAScH: DistroJockey thanks :) ill try that - if i remove xubuntu-desktop later will it remove its entries from gnome and be back to how it was b4? | 11:57 |
| dustrial | cky : from long to short lines | 11:57 |
| microwaver | pisse, what drivers are you using? the restricted ones? | 11:57 |
| pisse | microwaver: nope, I've just installed WC3 | 11:57 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, war3 worked pretty much out of the box here, I don't remember having to do too much | 11:57 |
| DistroJockey | chidge: you're welcome. Not sure on that one. | 11:57 |
| pisse | microwaver: I used envyNG to pick drivers for me | 11:57 |
| dustrial | cky : well but as far as i googled it can happen | 11:57 |
| Fuorigrottese | hi to all | 11:57 |
| cky | dustrial: Well, the long ones are your Linux partitions, and your short ones are your DOS ones, but that's no problem. | 11:57 |
| tARrAScH | chidge: yes, but the application data in /home/ will still be there | 11:57 |
| Fritzel | microwaver, well except for the 50% chance to safe 50% chance to delete save file thing | 11:57 |
| Fritzel | safe = save | 11:57 |
| cRyPt0E | hi guys - i have ubuntu 8.04 installed with horde3 and chora2. Whenever i try to access http://servername/horde3/chora I get the following error - Notice: Undefined index: enabled in /usr/share/horde3/lib/Horde.php on line 49 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/share/horde3/lib/Horde.php:49) in /usr/share/horde3/lib/Horde.php on line 1432. has anyone got a solution for this? | 11:57 |
| chidge | okay thats fine - thanks | 11:58 |
| dustrial | cky : what log should i consult? | 11:58 |
| Fuorigrottese | i've a notebook hp 6720S with hardy heron installed... all goes good but remain a problem with wifi does not go!! i've BCM4312 (rev02) | 11:58 |
| tARrAScH | chidge: however, I might say u, I did the same u do but for KDE, everythings back to normal, but at startup it says 'Kubuntu' instaed of 'Ubuntu' XD | 11:58 |
| pisse | microwaver: I did that because I wanted to play EVE Online, and that works (with Cedega) | 11:58 |
| cky | dustrial: When you were booting, what lines were printed before the "waiting" message? | 11:58 |
| Fuorigrottese | i've a notebook hp 6720S with hardy heron installed... all goes good but remain a problem with wifi does not go!! i've BCM4312 (rev02) a trick for me ????? | 11:58 |
| cky | Fuorigrottese: http://wireless.kernel.org/ | 11:58 |
| cky | Fuorigrottese: You will need to read that site for information about the b43 driver. | 11:59 |
| Fuorigrottese | cky sorry what is this?? i'm a newbie | 11:59 |
| Fuorigrottese | thanks cky | 11:59 |
| cky | Fuorigrottese: The b43 driver that comes with Ubuntu is not going to work for rev2 BCM4311/4312 cards. | 11:59 |
| dustrial | cky " just the normal lines (ok) stuff ... and the "waiting for root file system" is also normal, but its not getting (ok) and system droppes to busy box | 11:59 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=739707 post 3 has link for ALL envy gutsy hardy and older releases | 12:00 |
| microwaver | pisse, hmmm. i'm not an expert. I usually follow guides of others; I just know ATI users (as myself) have problems. | 12:00 |
| cky | dustrial: Okay, no problem. What is the content of /proc/cmdline? | 12:00 |
| cpk1 | I am running ubuntu as a router and it randomly died and I am trying to find some logs on why it did but syslog has its last message at 1:06 and I am pretty sure the lockup happened at about 1:17, was wondering if there was anywhere else I could find logs? | 12:00 |
| Fuorigrottese | cky thanks the solution is reinstall gutsy with ndiswrapper | 12:00 |
| cky | Fuorigrottese: If you wish to go down the ndiswrapper path, that is okay too. | 12:00 |
| pisse | microwaver: hehe yeah I've noticed ATI isn't that good with ubuntu.. | 12:01 |
| dustrial | cky | 12:01 |
| dustrial | $ ls /proc/cmdline | 12:01 |

| cky | Fuorigrottese: Many people have success with ndiswrapper, however I have never tried it. | 12:01 |
| cky | dustrial: "cat /proc/cmdline" | 12:01 |
| microwaver | pisse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4809635#post4809635 there's a section in how to adapt your xorg.conf file | 12:01 |

| elhoir | could anyone help me? | 12:05 |
| dustrial | okay big tahnks anyway to you cky | 12:05 |

| Twim4 | elhoir, just ask | 12:05 |
| cky | dustrial: Permanent change would involve editing /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:05 |

| elhoir | Twim4: i have an n>Vidia 6600 graphics card | 12:05 |

| elhoir | Twim4: nvidia-glx-new 169.12 | 12:06 |
| pisse | microwaver: I'll try it out.. thnx for the help | 12:07 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, what if you install an original driver from nvidia.com page? | 12:07 |
| dustrial | cky : i removed it an replaced it with dev/sda3 or sdb3 | 12:08 |
| elhoir | Twim4: the thing is that i can enable effects, but they are not displayed then | 12:08 |
| cky | dustrial: Yow! That's not going to help if you say that your hard drive is sda some of the time and sdb some other times.... | 12:08 |
| dustrial | cky : root=UUID= 'blabla' | 12:08 |
| dustrial | cky : has the UUID to be lowercase as well | 12:09 |
| dustrial | ? | 12:09 |
| cky | dustrial: Right, it needs to be UUID=62fef7c6-3038-4a5b-a30e-cb37ac9f9757 (word UUID is uppercase, everything else lowercase). | 12:09 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, advanced compizconfig-settings-manager installed? | 12:09 |
| elhoir | Twim4: yes | 12:09 |
| Twim4 | compizconfig-settings-manager * | 12:09 |

| gibb_ | Please help - I have dual boot setup with xp and ubuntu. I have hda1 partition for xp, hda2 for ubuntu, and hda3/5 for swap. I had a HP system recovery partition that I deleted while in windows with disk manager, I combined it with 700 meg of unpartitioned space in a new partition and then encrypted it with truecrypt. Afterwards when I reboot I get Error 17 in grub with NO menu. How do I fix it? | 12:13 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, how do you try to enable effects? | 12:13 |
| matejcik | hey folks. i have a question that must have been asked like a million times now, but i just can't find a proper way to search for it | 12:14 |
| cky | dustrial: Good luck! | 12:14 |
| elhoir | Twim4: first i set appearance effects to Extra | 12:14 |
| matejcik | the thing is, i have a bunch of 20GB partitions, and all of them now show up as "Media: 20,0GB" on my desktop | 12:14 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, oke | 12:14 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | good luck in better wow time | 12:14 |
| matejcik | how the *** do i rename them to something sensible? | 12:14 |
| elhoir | Twim: then i go to the compiz manager and enable Cube | 12:15 |
| elhoir | but nothing happens | 12:15 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, do u also see a "Custom" radio button? | 12:15 |
| microwaver | my wow fps is killing me :) | 12:15 |
| microwaver | sometimes literly (ingame at least) | 12:15 |
| dustrial | cky : just one more question : mom there is a line "root (hd0,2)" just under the title line in the grub menu.lst .... is this correct even for sdb ... or whatever? | 12:15 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, under extra button | 12:15 |
| elhoir | Twim4: not now, i saw it before upgrading to 8.04 | 12:15 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | try that lnik micrwaver | 12:16 |
| cky | dustrial: Given that you are able to get to the "waiting for root" bit, I would say that that line is correct. | 12:16 |
| microwaver | N1N31NCHN41L5, let's se, thanks beforehand | 12:16 |
| PPumz | good day, need help with opening ports in ubuntu | 12:16 |

| CorpseFeeder | I just installed hardy. Where do I find the hardware browser gui so I can see what hardware is detected in this laptop? | 12:17 |
| PPumz | deluge says the port I chose is not open | 12:17 |
| cky | dustrial: But, I'm happy to read the docs to confirm. | 12:17 |
| elhoir | PPumz: it is not an Ubuntu issue, i think. It is a router issue | 12:17 |
| PPumz | and I have opened the port from my router | 12:17 |
| elhoir | aaps | 12:17 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | damn ill have to find u a better onr - but are u updated to eny yet if using ati or nvidia | 12:18 |
| dustrial | cky : the commandline in the grub-menu just gave me this only completion ... so i guess thats some kind of confirmation | 12:18 |
| elhoir | PPumz: have you tried to close and reopen deluge? | 12:18 |
| Twim4 | elhoir, any error messages when u enable it? | 12:18 |

| cky | dustrial: Simple, don't use the 386 one, it's only for computers that are wimpy. :-P | 12:45 |

| olskolirc | jasu it won't make or make install it stops | 12:47 |
| cky | dustrial: The generic kernel is good for most desktop/workstation systems. The 386 one, as far as I know, is for computers that actually have a 386 processor. | 12:48 |

| pawan | hi | 12:54 |
| IdleOne | calcoo perhaps | 12:54 |
| Fritzel | ... ok nevermind then | 12:54 |
| frostburn | TheOV, your best bet is to keep /home on a separate partition and install using an iso (remember to mount /home during the install process) | 12:54 |
| TheOV | yeah | 12:54 |
| TheOV | i'm probably going to do that anyway | 12:54 |

| ArthurArchnix | Hey... trying to disable the touchpad when a mouse is plugged in, but it seems that synclient no longer works. The command I'm trying is "synclient touchpadoff=1" and yes, I've added: Option "SHMConfig" "on" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:56 |

| orgy` | hi, i installed xp under vmware server 2. i edited the virtual machine and added the a sound card (/dev/dsp), but still xp doesn't recognize a sound card. | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | orgy`, install the vmwaretools yet for xp? | 13:00 |
| dubby | orgy' you have to add the device in vmware | 13:00 |
| TheOV | pawan: i think there's a software for vista that they give on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, don't they? | 13:00 |
| orgy` | Dr_willis vmwar tools are installed | 13:00 |
| orgy` | dubby what exactly do you mean? | 13:00 |
| sanguisdex | so why would thunderbird be able to download IMAP email but not evolution? | 13:01 |
| dubby | Dr_willis: orgy`, install the vmwaretools yet for xp? | 13:01 |
| TheOV | sanguisdex: evolution can download imap afaik | 13:01 |
| olskolirc | I found my xmms configure error: configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first *** | 13:01 |
| olskolirc | what kind of glib do i need guys | 13:01 |
| dubby | there is one a configuration for adding the soundcard on the vmware to be sent to the virtual machine, then you need to instal drivers for it on the vm itself | 13:01 |
| orgy` | dubby i installed vmware tools within xp (within the vm) | 13:01 |

| dubby | spartacus whats your issue | 13:02 |
| IdleOne | olskolirc: libglib2.0-dev | 13:02 |
| compwiz18 | spartacus: what kind of issue> | 13:02 |
| dubby | spartacus : i have fglrx and it runs great | 13:02 |
| pajamian | olskolirc: just do: sudo apt-get build-dep xmms | 13:03 |
| dubby | DRI and compiz | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | xmms is no longer in the repos.. I dont think that will work pajamian | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | !find xmms | 13:03 |
| ubot5 | Found: xmms, xmms-dev, gaim-xmms-remote, libxmms-perl, libxmms-ruby (and 67 others) | 13:03 |
| pajamian | Dr_willis: xmms2, then | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm it wasent there the other day.. odd. | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | !info xmms | 13:03 |

| mysticalone | Need assistance with installing Hardy on a Compaq Presario 1700, I'm getting "Vendor "PTLTD " System " DSDT " Revision 0x6040000 has a known ACPI BIOS problem" | 13:04 |
| jimcooncat | Dr_willis: you scared me, I love streamtuner that uses xmms | 13:04 |
| bellsin | Dr_willis is this as of Hardy - why removed? - though it never worked all that well for me compared to other players | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | Ok. xmms was totally missing like 2 weeks ago from the repos. | 13:04 |
| ikonia | bellsin: it's legacy | 13:04 |
| spartacus | dubby, compwiz18: After an upgrade to 8.04, I found that libGL was trying to link to /usr/local//usr/lib/xorg/fglrx_dri.so - looks like a remnant from previous playing, but it did this after clean everything out... | 13:04 |
| pajamian | Dr_willis: I don't see it in synaptic, but it does have xmms2 | 13:04 |
| bellsin | Ah it may have been v2 I tried | 13:04 |
| icesword | hi, channel, :) | 13:04 |
| ikonia | bellsin: thats more a "server" app now | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | xmms2 is way different from xmms. :) | 13:05 |
| spartacus | I resolved it with a symlink, and all is well... i just found the pathname (and number of forward slashes!) odd | 13:05 |
| icesword | Dr_willis, hi | 13:05 |
| frostburn | sanguisdex, you don't see the option for imap under Edit>Pref>Add>Forward>Server Type ? | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | the ghost of xmms haunts us. :) | 13:05 |
| Alan | xmms2 seems to be attempting what mpd already achieves... | 13:05 |
| derspankster | audacious is still there, isn't it? | 13:05 |
| compwiz18_ | spartacus, fglrx often forgets to create symlinks | 13:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hmmm... maybe not... I can use synclient TouchpadOff=1 from the command line to disable touchpad... but I can't use it as a keyboard shortcut. | 13:05 |
| pajamian | well it looks like ubuntu went to xmms2, the info command you just did shows gutsy. | 13:05 |
| pawan | should i boot using live cd | 13:06 |
| spartacus | oh, one other minor issue that could be checked at runtime in the control panel is the presence of AIGLX="1" in xorg.conf - screen goes white if it's not there with fglrx and desktop effects are enabled :-/ | 13:06 |
| pajamian | anyways, I would install the libs for xmms2 and hope that it covers all the ones for xmms. | 13:06 |
| pawan | i have 7.04 live cd | 13:06 |
| pawan | and 8.04 was installed | 13:07 |
| zetheroo | any glitches with Ubuntu Hardy anyone??? | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, several. :) | 13:07 |
| spartacus | compwiz18_, fair enough, but under /usr/local ? | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, hang in here for a few hours and see. | 13:07 |
| compwiz18_ | spartacus, no idea :) | 13:07 |
| IdleOne | pawan: what you need to do is read the intructions on the link 1 time then read them again a second time then follow the instructions and if you run into problems then ask in here. | 13:07 |
| icesword | goodbye, channel | 13:07 |
| dustrial | hi, what is when "cat /proc/asound/cards" fails because there is no asound ... | 13:07 |
| dustrial | =? | 13:07 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: oh really?.... tell me more... | 13:07 |
| bellsin | icesword bye | 13:07 |
| spartacus | dustrial, sounds like you need alsa :) | 13:08 |
| dustrial | okay | 13:08 |
| dustrial | which packages do you recommend? | 13:08 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, Hang in here.. see what people have problems with. :) so far its upgrades to wireless, video, and sound. | 13:08 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: upgrades? | 13:08 |
| sanguisdex | frostburn: Oh its there an I set it up but it can't connect to the server. w/ the same details I can download the data w/ thunderbird | 13:08 |
| pajamian | Dr_willis: also FF extensions since hardy installs FF beta 3 | 13:08 |
| compwiz18_ | Fresh installs usually work pretty well, I think | 13:08 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, yes.. Upgrading from the old release to the new. | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | pajamian, I got that covered.. :) the "nightly testers tools" extension lets me use all the old extensions.. | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | pajamian, use at your own risk. | 13:09 |
| bellsin | I'm hanging out to hear of any upgrade issues with Hardy? I'm a happy Gutsy user since it's arrival. | 13:09 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: so is it better to just do a fresh install? | 13:09 |
| pajamian | Dr_willis: same here, already done, but most people don't know about that, and there is some risk, yes. | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, i alwyas do fresh installs. | 13:09 |
| bellsin | I suppose that's the main thing the ff addons that don't work with 3 | 13:09 |
| ikonia | bellsin: issues will be mostly personal issues | 13:09 |
| spartacus | dustrial, alsa-base and alsa-utils should be a good start. also gstreamer0.10-alsa if you use gstreamer... (for gnome) | 13:10 |
| bellsin | But that's more or ff ussie | 13:10 |
| albech | bellsin: there are several | 13:10 |
| eth01 | a fresh install is stupid. | 13:10 |
| ikonia | bellsin: the process has been tested so any issues will be specific to you | 13:10 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: will I still get all those glitches? | 13:10 |
| eth01 | it's worked fine here without doing so. | 13:10 |
| derspankster | bellsin: personally, I had few issues upgrading my laptop. Wireless even worked. Others have been less fortunate. | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | eth01, saying somthing is stupid when people DO have reasons to do so..is stupid. | 13:10 |
| ikonia | eth01: thats the old "works for me" senario though | 13:10 |
| TheOV | bellsin: i upgraded from gutsy to hardy without any problems | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, no idea. You may get different glitzes.. :) | 13:10 |
| * spartacus had a few problems with upgrade too... | 13:10 | |
| albech | bellsin: i had issues with both wifi, bluetooth and sound | 13:10 |
| pajamian | Dr_willis: plus even with that, if the extension has an "insecure" upgrade method FF will refuse to install it (until you add an entry to about:config). | 13:11 |
| compwiz18_ | I had no issues but I did a fresh install afterwards anyway | 13:11 |
| bellsin | derspankster that's the thing Gutsy has never given me any problems - even my Wireless adapter worked out of the box | 13:11 |
| albech | and the nvidia black frame bug still isnt fixed :( | 13:11 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: so if Gutsy is working well for me there is no guarentee that hardy will work well too? | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | pajamian, i got that disabled also. :) | 13:11 |
| ikonia | bellsin: if you are happy and you don't require the LTS support, don't upgrade | 13:11 |
| bellsin | albech yeah I am worried that Hardy sees my dead sound card from the live CD | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, this is life.. thers no guarentees to anything. | 13:11 |
| frostburn | sanguisdex, i'm not sure how much i can help with that, as I don't have access to either | 13:11 |
| IdleOne | zetheroo: if you dont need to upgrade then wait a little while | 13:11 |
| compwiz18_ | zetheroo, chances are Hardy will work fine, but there is the chance that the upgrade won't | 13:11 |
| pajamian | Dr_willis: yep, I disabled it while installing/upgrading all my extensions, then when it was all sorted I re-enabled it. | 13:11 |
| eth01 | meh | 13:12 |
| peophol | hello , does anyone here know how i can install a driver i downloaded for my creative card? extension tar.bz2 ? | 13:12 |
| derspankster | bellsin: I have hesitated to update my desktop because it's a production box. I'm going to wait for things to settle a bit. | 13:12 |
| bellsin | I mean it sees both so presumably i would be able to disable the dead one (it's a integrated so I can't remove it) | 13:12 |
| zetheroo | compwiz18_: I always do fresh installs..... should be fine no? | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | peophol, xi-fi card? | 13:12 |
| compwiz18_ | zetheroo, should be, that's what the live cd is for ;) | 13:12 |
| albech | i had to reinstall gutsy on another partition until some of those issues are resolved | 13:12 |
| peophol | yea | 13:12 |
| zetheroo | compwiz18_: I have a Thinkpad T60.... heard of anything about it? | 13:12 |
| bellsin | derspankster yeah that's it with me - this is the box I rely on most now - I have come to trust Gutsy | 13:12 |
| derspankster | bellsin: I did build a server and installed Hardy server on it without issue though. | 13:12 |
| albech | and it looks like the Intel wireless it going to take a while.. they have recognized the bug though | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | peophol, you might want to check the wiki/forums - I have no idea how well that card is supported under linux at this time. compiling stuff from source can take a little bit of work/knowledge | 13:13 |
| compwiz18_ | zetheroo, nope | 13:13 |
| cpk1 | peophol: you need to untar the archive and then usually there is a readme with instructions inside there | 13:13 |
| bmz | I have gotten FF 2.0 and 3.0 running happily side by side now. | 13:13 |
| bellsin | derspankster And I suppose the idea of an LTS is that it mainly polishes up what's already there? | 13:13 |
| albech | Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG if you have this WIFI chipset i wouldnt recommend a upgrade | 13:13 |
| pajamian | I upgraded three machines over the past couple days and all went pretty smoothly. Biggest hiccup was having to change the ubuntu server on one because it was having problems grabbing the files off the local NZ server. | 13:13 |
| sanguisdex | frostburn: what would you be looking for? | 13:13 |
| bmz | and I have my 2.0 addons *yay* | 13:14 |
| spartacus | peophol: something like "tar -jxf <yourfile>.tar.bz2" then compile the sources as per the included docs (might get ugly, or might be easy) | 13:14 |
| peophol | i followed instructions but a window opens and closes immediately after and still no sound :( | 13:14 |
| luddit1 | christ that took way too long to recover my password | 13:14 |
| derspankster | bellsin: I don't know. Personally, I'm beginning not to like this 6 month release cycle. | 13:14 |
| DistroJockey | bmz: at the same time? | 13:14 |
| luddit1 | Hi all | 13:14 |
| bmz | yep | 13:14 |
| bellsin | Yeah I'm not reading of any major problems anywhere | 13:14 |
| bellsin | derspankster it is too fast isn't it? | 13:14 |
| zetheroo | which is the fastest server to download Ubuntu hardy from? | 13:14 |
| albech | torrent | 13:14 |
| TheOV | zetheroo: the closest one to you | 13:14 |
| jimcooncat | Where is online documentation for Hardy, please? | 13:14 |
| bellsin | I'm starting to look at Debian and thinking that's the way to do it :) | 13:14 |
| cpk1 | derspankster: if you dont like the 6 month cycle then stick to the LTS cycle | 13:14 |
| bmz | http://blog.codefront.net/2007/08/20/how-to-have-firefox-3-and-firefox-2-running-at-the-same-time/ | 13:14 |
| dustrial | ......help.... what package do i need to install to get alsa | 13:15 |
| dustrial | ? | 13:15 |
| DistroJockey | bmz: nice :) Thanks for the link :) | 13:15 |
| derspankster | bellsin: Frankly, for my uses, I see little differences between gutsy and hardy. | 13:15 |
| IdleOne | !alsa | 13:15 |
| ubot5 | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:15 |
| zetheroo | TheOV: not in my case..... | 13:15 |
| bellsin | cpk1 yeah that's it I came in on the wrong one really | 13:15 |
| derspankster | cpk1: I'll likely do so from now on. | 13:15 |
| bmz | remove your firefox profile (or back it up) | 13:15 |
| TheOV | zetheroo: try torrenting it | 13:15 |
| pajamian | cpk1: problem with the LTS cycle is when it does finally come time to upgrade there is no way to directly upgrade from one LTS to the next. | 13:15 |
| bellsin | I should have used Feisty - but it didn't see my wifi card and Gutsy did | 13:15 |
| IdleOne | dustrial: alsa-base I assume | 13:15 |
| frostburn | sanguisdex, i'd ask your network admin, or provider what the credentials are for your imap login | 13:16 |
| luddit1 | i have a 7.04 machine with no internet connection and just downloaded 8.04 LTS, burnt it to a cd and cant upgrade it. any help? | 13:16 |
| cpk1 | pajamian: really I thought I saw something about upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04? | 13:16 |
| bmz | create 2 firefox profiles using 2.0 as per the link | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | pajamian, i thought direct upgrading from the old LTS to the new was a Specicic FEATURE they worked very hard on. | 13:16 |
| bmz | I just updated the menu entry for ff3 to use its own profile - all is good | 13:16 |
| pajamian | cpk1: Dr_willis: then I stand corrected, I had thought you couldn't | 13:16 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: hi are you around? | 13:16 |
| TheOV | luddit1: try adding the 8.04 CD to your sources.list, and then upgrading | 13:16 |
| IdleOne | luddit1: you can not leapfrog version update to 7.10 then to 8.04 or do a fresh install of 8.04 backup /home | 13:16 |
| luddit1 | I have done that, it only finds 44 packages. | 13:17 |
| DistroJockey | bmz: seen a few requests to be able to do that. Handy info. Cheers! | 13:17 |
| albech | i can only recommend fresh install.. had a ton of problems trying to upgrade | 13:17 |
| ikonia | Dr_willis: they did | 13:17 |
| ikonia | Dr_willis: there is a core glibc change which made it hard and a lot of effort went into it | 13:17 |
| luddit1 | i have the cd though? | 13:18 |
| ikonia | Dr_willis: hand on heart I didn't think they would get it usable in time for the release, but kudo to them, they did | 13:18 |
| pajamian | albech: upgrade went smooth for all three computers at my house, but I upgraded from the CD. | 13:18 |
| athreya | how to enable compiz fusion on ubuntu 8.04 using commandline? | 13:18 |
| luddit1 | gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" didnt work either | 13:18 |
| ikonia | athreya: it's already enabled | 13:18 |
| IdleOne | !ccsm | athreya | 13:18 |
| ubot5 | athreya: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 13:18 |
| bmz | Distrojockey: A lot of people probably want addons not available in FF3 yet. | 13:18 |
| bellsin | albech yeah I'm off upgrading any OSes - it never works with windows and didn't work well for me with Fedora either, but I'm told Aptitude is a lot more intelligent? | 13:18 |
| albech | pajamian: i had some very nasty crashed after upgrade.. | 13:18 |
| ikonia | athreya: there is a menu item "advanced desktop effects" to assist you | 13:18 |
| cpk1 | pajamian: yup just checked, 3 easy steps gets you from 6.06 to 8.04 =) | 13:18 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: the menu item only appears after !ccsm | 13:19 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: are you %100 on that | 13:19 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: I've got the menu on my laptop and I'm not running compiz | 13:19 |
| pajamian | cpk1: cool, though I will stick with the 6 month cycle for now anyways. I like the latest apps. | 13:19 |
| DistroJockey | bmz: yeah, probably | 13:19 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: unless they added ccsm default | 13:19 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: possible I guess | 13:19 |
| bmz | Distrojockey: glad I could help | 13:19 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: I'm doing a clean install now so I can test that | 13:19 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: let me know :) | 13:20 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: noted | 13:20 |
| cpk1 | pajamian: thats basically how I operate, I keep the release I am using until there is some app that I really want and need the next release for =P | 13:20 |
| pajamian | albech: I guess it can't work for everyone. | 13:20 |
| DistroJockey | bmz: and the web developers need both I would imagine. Thanks :) | 13:20 |
| albech | i started a while back with always have 2 or more OSes on my box | 13:20 |
| athreya | ikonia:i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04...there i no ccsm here...but desktop effects which are in appearance are working | 13:20 |
| cpk1 | as a side note though on kubuntu I have never seemed to be able to get an upgrade to work correctly for me | 13:20 |
| slaine_ | Guys, is there any info on how to install via a PCMCIA CD-ROM ? | 13:20 |
| bellsin | I probably can't upgrade anyway cos my initial bootloader is still FreeBSD - cos i tried that before Linux - I was feeling brave at the time :) | 13:21 |
| albech | that way i dont throw out an old one till i have one which im happy with | 13:21 |
| slaine_ | Trying to install on an old Vaio and that's the only bootable device besides the hdd | 13:21 |
| IdleOne | athreya: if you want all the flashy widgets install !ccsm | 13:21 |
| bellsin | Grub never overwrote the BSD loader but it still works | 13:21 |
| albech | slaine_: is it bootable? | 13:21 |
| DistroJockey | slaine_: the Alternate CD asks me about PCMCIA stuff (might be worth a look if you havn't) | 13:21 |
| slaine_ | Ah, thanks | 13:22 |
| pajamian | slaine_: have you tried booting to the live CD to see if it works? | 13:22 |
| slaine_ | The live cd failes | 13:22 |
| slaine_ | It only detects the internal pata drive | 13:22 |
| ikonia | !wubi > ikonia | 13:22 |
| pajamian | slaine_: where does it fail? | 13:22 |
| * DistroJockey nods at slaine_ | 13:22 | |
| Stwange | since when did this channel require registration? I'm guessing you had spam issues but don't forgot a lot of people come here after installing ubuntu for the first time and xchat automatically takes them here for help | 13:22 |
| albech | slaine_: but it boots? | 13:22 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | can anyone help me add a linux os on /dev/hda5 to th grub for this ubunutu | 13:22 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: dont do it! come back to the light :) | 13:22 |
| slaine_ | Boots, detects sda as the ata device and then failes | 13:22 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: I'm not doing it | 13:22 |
| bellsin | DistroJockey I've preferred the alternate CDs - live CDs are good to look but I think a real installer is faster and works better for most people, certainly people i know and myself | 13:22 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: I've got info to update the factoid with (I think) | 13:23 |
| eth01 | * hypn0 (n=h@78-86-137-94.zone2.bethere.co.uk) has joined #ubuntu | 13:23 |
| eth01 | <s | 13:23 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: what do you want to do | 13:23 |
| pajamian | slaine_: try the alternate install CD, then. | 13:23 |
| albech | slaine_: maybe have to load the pcmcia module manually | 13:23 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: sounds good then | 13:23 |
| eth01 | eer ignore damn keyboard | 13:23 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: the factoid is not going to be "don't do it | 13:23 |
| slaine_ | No mention of pcmcia and when dropped to the busybox prompt it doesn't do much when I manually load the pcmcia modules | 13:23 |
| DistroJockey | bellsin: yep, I always get the alternate | 13:23 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: lmao did not think it was | 13:23 |
| slaine_ | I'll give alternat a shot | 13:23 |
| slaine_ | thanks | 13:23 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i have ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon on /dev/hda1 | 13:23 |
| athreya | IdleOne:how to install ccsm using commandline? | 13:23 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: with you so far | 13:23 |
| Stwange | anyway, that's not my question: are there any issues with the 8.04 upgrade from 7.10 (ie. should I just clean install?). I had a lot of trouble with upgrading 7.04 to 7.10 | 13:23 |
| TheOV | athreya: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 13:24 |
| IdleOne | !ccsm > IdleOne | 13:24 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: looks like ubotu is dead | 13:24 |
| nickthorley | can anyone giveme the basics of tracing why a wireless network connection is not working so that I can try it on my laptop - thanks | 13:24 |
| IdleOne | yeah | 13:24 |
| bellsin | Stwange i always back up and install fresh | 13:24 |
| TheOV | !ubotu | IdleOne | 13:24 |
| ubot5 | IdleOne: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 13:24 |
| TheOV | it's not dead | 13:24 |
| ikonia | TheOV: thats not ubotu | 13:24 |
| pajamian | Stwange: some people have had problems, some haven't. upgrade at your own risk. | 13:24 |
| IdleOne | athreya: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 13:24 |
| DistroJockey | Stwange: I've heard many issues. Try it after a backup first though I guess. | 13:24 |
| bellsin | Stwange upgrade's seem to take longer too | 13:24 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | was having comp probs at same time as muppy008 install and was at the ass grub screen when i was told to ctl alt bkspc foe a diff prob. solved it but now my muppy008 sits fully customized on /dev/hda5 an no way to it | 13:25 |
| TheOV | ikonia: what is it then? | 13:25 |
| bellsin | Even taking into account the backing up time | 13:25 |
| athreya | TheOV:It says apt command not found | 13:25 |
| Stwange | ok thanks guys. Now I guess I have to find a blank CD :) | 13:25 |
| alado2 | is there a way of getting around typing in the password when i want to use hdparm (sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sdb1) to shut down one of my disks? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | TheOV: ubot5 a differnt bot, out of sync database | 13:25 |
| TheOV | oh | 13:25 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: ok, o you basiclly want your menu to have ubuntu and muppy on it | 13:25 |
| * bellsin looks up muppy | 13:25 | |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: is that a fair summary ? | 13:26 |
| pajamian | alado2: man sudoers | 13:26 |
| Sarek | hi | 13:26 |
| alado2 | <pajamian> and that means? | 13:26 |
| ikonia | !wubi | 13:26 |
| ubot5 | wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html | 13:26 |
| bellsin | I wondered if it was related to puppy | 13:26 |
| athreya | IdleOne:It says apt command not found even as sudo.. | 13:27 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | yep - and once i know how to do that i wanna add a few more linux micros to play with and learn linux on - ubuntu ie REALLY user friendly - to much so i doint really learn what i want to - but makes a a GREAT fully functioning OD for a comp illiterate like me | 13:27 |
| IdleOne | athreya: show me the command you entered please | 13:27 |
| pajamian | alado2: type that into the terminal and you will get a man page that tells you how to customize the sudoers file to do things such as set certain commands to not require a password. | 13:27 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: ok, are you using a seperate shared /boot partition or are you using /boot as a directory of each distro ? | 13:27 |
| alado2 | <pajamian> ah, cool, thnx | 13:28 |
| Sarek | since upgrading to hardy my (ide) harddisks are recognised as /dev/sd* ... now I wanted to install noflushd to gain more silence but noflushd complains: don't know how to spindown /dev/sda1 ... any idea what I can do there? | 13:28 |
| ArthurArchnix | I can't seem to edit my sudoers file anymore. sudo visudo doesn't work. Nor does gksudo xterm, then running visudo | 13:28 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | NOOOO windows at all on this machine - PURE LINUX | 13:28 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | im not sure whhere ubuntu put its boot/grub - but that is the ONLY grub/bott on here | 13:28 |
| ArthurArchnix | Has something changed from gutsy? | 13:28 |
| bellsin | With some of these new micro-distros I just can't see what they're adding | 13:28 |
| NekoKun | I have a ubuntu 6.06 VPS and I'm planning to upgrade it to hardy, what sort of things may make this upgrade fail? | 13:28 |
| bellsin | Though I'm inconsistent cos i do like OpenGEU :) | 13:29 |
| Stroganoff | bellsin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 | 13:29 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: thats not what I asked, are you using a shared /boot partition for both/all the distros or do you have a boot directory for each distro | 13:29 |
| cpk1 | NekoKun: if your internet connection dies | 13:29 |
| DistroJockey | ArthurArchnix: how about: sudo -s then visudo ? | 13:29 |
| sanguisdex | luddit1: you have to use the alternative CD to upgrade w/ the CD | 13:29 |
| NekoKun | cpk1: anything else? | 13:29 |
| cpk1 | NekoKun: basically follow the instructions to the Tee and pray =) | 13:30 |
| NekoKun | cpk1: ._. | 13:30 |
| cpk1 | NekoKun: upgrading really seems to be a ymmv type of thing | 13:30 |
| bellsin | Stroganoff now that looks good - uses Thunar I see just like OpenGEU | 13:30 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | primary part is 7.64g for unbuntu then its ext part with 6 750MB logical parts for puplrts and a 512MB linux swap - thats all i know about how i set it up | 13:30 |
| cpk1 | NekoKun: I have heard of plenty of people having no problems whereas I have never been able to get a clean upgrade | 13:31 |
| NekoKun | cpk1: ymmv? | 13:31 |
| bellsin | I really like Thunar - how you can drop into a cmd anywhere | 13:31 |
| athreya | IdleOne:its working..synaptic was running ....that may be the reason for error...thanx.. | 13:31 |
| bellsin | Gnome should have that feature | 13:31 |
| WelshDragon | <uberrig> dickydoo2, you'll need to join a linux chat channel or help forum group then | 13:31 |
| WelshDragon | oops | 13:31 |
| cpk1 | NekoKun: Your Mileage May Vary | 13:31 |
| IdleOne | athreya: yup possible | 13:31 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: thats a very unusual disk layout, 6 x 750 partitions will not give you much room to install and distros | 13:31 |
| WelshDragon | Hellooooo. Does anyone here use teamspeak and got around the problem of it 'locking' the sound devices? | 13:31 |
| Stroganoff | bellsin well try it and provide feedback if you want to ;) | 13:31 |
| NekoKun | cpk1: mmm thanks | 13:31 |
| IdleOne | athreya: you might want to install fusion-icon also | 13:31 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: I advice you to re-think you disk layout before trying to progress any further (I can help you with this) as you will make it VERY hard for your self in the future | 13:31 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | where is the menu.lst at??? | 13:32 |
| WelshDragon | /boot/grub/ | 13:32 |
| Dr_willis | N1N31NCHN41L5, /boot/grub | 13:32 |
| Dr_willis | it may be time to read some grub docs. :) | 13:32 |
| bellsin | Stroganoff I might do though you have to bear in mind I'm still a Linux baby, with only 8 months on the clock so far :) | 13:32 |
| ikonia | oops | 13:32 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: it's in /boot | 13:32 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: are you listening to what I'm saying about your layout ? | 13:33 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ok so what doo i do waste the totally customize3d ubuntu and muppy008 - load a live muppy cd run in ram and redpartitoon or fdisck the hard drive intop a better format - if so - ill do it NOW | 13:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | DistroJockey: Didn't work. But thanks for that suggestion. Also, thanks for suggesting xkeypass the other day. it's great. Just what I was looking for. | 13:33 |
| bellsin | I have to eat - seeya later | 13:33 |
| fiXXXerMet | My upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 didn't fully completely - got some errors. Now when I do apt-get upgrade, I get "6 not fully installed or removed." but that fails still. How can I repair my system? | 13:33 |
| Myrtti | fiXXXerMet: have you tried dpkg --configure -a? | 13:34 |
| fiXXXerMet | Myrtti: no, what does that do? | 13:34 |
| RockHound | good day ... how do I prevent a process from being started when upgrading? more specifically, I have stopped postfix and would like to upgrade but don | 13:34 |
| RockHound | 't want the upgrade to start it | 13:34 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: no no no | 13:34 |
| DistroJockey | ArthurArchnix: win some lose some I guess :) | 13:34 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: calm down and approch logically | 13:34 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: work out the best layout for your long term goal | 13:35 |
| Myrtti | fiXXXerMet: configures the packages that were downloaded and marked for installation but haven't been | 13:35 |
| fiXXXerMet | ok | 13:35 |
| ikonia | nickthorley: how many distros (realistly) do you feel you'll want to have installed at the same time | 13:35 |
| ikonia | nickthorley: sorry | 13:35 |
| saltedlight | hi. anyone know what is this and how do i fix this? | 13:35 |
| saltedlight | (gnomesword2:10104): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str != NULL' failed | 13:35 |

| ikonia | nickthorley: fat fingers on my part | 13:35 |
| virus92 | I installed some video drivers on my ubuntu. Now ubuntu doesn't load when you log in. How do I recover my ubuntu? I'm on a live now | 13:35 |
| orangesicle | Hi. After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. I am guessing I am missing some fonts. can anyone help me try and figure out what is missing? | 13:36 |
| fiXXXerMet | Myrtti: I got lots of errors - http://pastebin.com/m4140f3ec | 13:36 |
| ikonia | virus92: can you use "recovery" mode from the grub menu on your ubuntu install ? | 13:36 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | long term goal is abiltity to KEEP ubuntu here and as new puppys come and go try them out in full install hence the small partitions 2-3 times the size they need. thats the goal - oh i also set up a 6.3g data folder | 13:36 |
| |Dreams| | whats the command to see what dvdwr i have ? | 13:36 |
| WelshDragon | Does anyone here use teamspeak and got around the problem of it 'locking' the sound devices? | 13:36 |
| |Dreams| | dvdwriter* | 13:36 |
| virus92 | ikonia: yes, I can | 13:36 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | 6 | 13:36 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: ok so roughly would you say 4 distros at once and a shared data partition ? | 13:37 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i got a stack of 14 ive tired in last 2 weeks | 13:37 |
| ikonia | virus92: ok, use that, use the root shell and change the "driver" line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "vesa" | 13:37 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: can we keep with relevant discussion here, I don't need to hear how "l33t" you want to be | 13:37 |
| Myrtti | fiXXXerMet: the origin of the problem is located on lines 15 and 16 | 13:37 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ubuntu, 6 puppy, 6.3 g data file an 512MB linux swap | 13:37 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: so would it be fair to say 4 distros and a shared data partition ? | 13:37 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: ok wow, so you wany 7 distros | 13:38 |
| fiXXXerMet | Myrtti: Aye. Googling now. | 13:38 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: how big is your disk ? | 13:38 |
| orangesicle | Hi. After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. | 13:38 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | not trying to be elite - am comp illeterate and want to try em all so i can learn as much as possible | 13:38 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | 20g | 13:38 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: 20 gig - Hmmm thats not a lot to play with | 13:38 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | largetst puppy is 440MB usually they are around 96MB | 13:39 |
| fiXXXerMet | Myrtti: So there is no 'update-grub' file on my system | 13:39 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: so 20 gig - 6 gig shared partition = 14 gig to play with, I'd advise at least 4 gig for ubuntu so thats 10 gig to play with | 13:39 |
| pale-yafa | hi, I use vnc to connect to my laptop and work on it, the problem is that num lock is moving the mouse and not typing the numbers, how to fix that? | 13:39 |
| Myrtti | fiXXXerMet: if you have a ubuntu cd lying around someplace, you could probably fix it with the cd | 13:39 |

| Randocal | The PC I"m sitting at has both WinXP and Gutsy installed on it (both on seperate HDs). Will upgrading to Hardy break my grub config somehow and break my ability to dual boot? | 13:41 |
| virus92 | ikonia: I can modify that file trough the live CD, I opened it right now. There's twice the driver word. One for Generic Keyboard and one for Configured Mouse | 13:41 |

| |Dreams| | whats the command to see what dvdwriter i have ? | 13:41 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | left puppy partitions at 750MB since nmost distroare around 95MB and they arent to keep - but to learn | 13:42 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: here is my suggested layout.

| N1N31NCHN41L5 | where is the ubuntu??? | 13:43 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: did I not put a 4 gig (minimum) ubuntu partition on ? | 13:43 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: if not, please include it in the extended partition | 13:44 |
| virus92 | ikonia: I already tried it once. I didn't work | 13:44 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: haha what is that greenwich time? I will try to be here | 13:44 |
| ikonia | virus92: so whats' the error your getting | 13:44 |
| virus92 | ikonia: I already tried it once. *It didn't work | 13:44 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: yes it is - if you cant make it dont worry but as you have same wireless card would be useful | 13:44 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: no problems; will do my best ;] | 13:45 |
| orangesicle | Hi. After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. | 13:45 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: i think fedora moved over to the new kernel module last release and i spent ages trying to get that working and gave up in the end | 13:45 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: does that layout make sense to you ? | 13:45 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | no just a swap partition | 13:45 |
| virus92 | ikonia: Once i typed my account id and psw my screen turns black, then it turn white. I know that there is a working GUI because i used my mouse to shutdown the pc. | 13:45 |
| alado2 | <DistroJockey>cant i just edit /etc/sudoers? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: sorry, please include ubuntu so 3 primary = /boot, swap and data partition, then put the OS's in the extended partition | 13:45 |
| shoot^ | guys, i'm using ATI drivers installed using Envy on Hardy. X crashes on logon, but works in gnome failsafe. any ideas/ | 13:45 |

| Zackymc_k | thanks is there a program to view computer hardware like in gutsy? | 13:46 |
| DistroJockey | alado2: yep | 13:46 |
| ikonia | virus92: view the xorg log | 13:46 |
| ikonia | virus92: see if there is anything obvious | 13:46 |
| ikonia | virus92: try changing the driver back to vesa | 13:46 |
| virus92 | shoot^: ATI drivers are causing problems to me too | 13:46 |
| ikonia | virus92: (fail safe driver = vesa) | 13:46 |

| nickthorley | bazhang: did it take you long to sort out can you remember? | 13:46 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i hope my wuestions are making since - damn valiym and vicodin | 13:47 |
| alado2 | <DistroJockey> ok, just got a bit confused cause it said "This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. | 13:47 |
| alado2 | " | 13:47 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: because if you do any work with the distros it's always better to have space available and it's easy to use it up | 13:47 |
| DistroJockey | alado2: yeah, silly message that one IMHO :) | 13:47 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: you have spare space, so I've allocaed 1.6 gig to your puppy partitions to allow you to play and account for anything you need to do or want to play with, some puppy releases are 300+ meg | 13:47 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: not much really; there are a couple of workarounds if the bug affects you, and an upstream fix is in the works | 13:48 |
| shoot^ | virus92: how did you install yours? | 13:48 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: does that make a little more sense now ? | 13:48 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: i know we have the same card but what is your laptop? | 13:48 |
| astro76 | alado2: it is highly recommended to use visudo to edit sudoers, it does syntax checking before it saves so you don't end up with a borked system | 13:48 |
| DistroJockey | alado2: but I guess there is a reason... | 13:48 |
| DistroJockey | alado2: "visudo edits the sudoers file in a safe fashion, analogous to vipw(8). visudo locks the sudoers file against multiple simultaneous edits, provides basic sanity checks, and checks for parse errors. If the sudoers file is currently being edited you will receive a message to try again later." | 13:49 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: thinkpad | 13:49 |
| astro76 | alado2: you can do sudo update-alternatives --config editor to set your preferred editor | 13:49 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | 'ok true but with even a 446MB puppy in a 750MB partition if i put ther pu_save file for it in the data folder plent of room - or is my logic all newby here | 13:49 |
| virus92 | ikonia: I first did it trough the default driver manager of ubuntu and it caused me black screen, then ireformatted and tried with a driver manager that someone has suggested to me | 13:49 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: being honest I think you should do fewer puppy installs and have an additional 4 - 6 gig partition to allow you try a different distro (say fedora) should want to without having to re-partition your disk | 13:49 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: ok - do you have a wireless light and does it work now? | 13:49 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: can be made to work but I prefer it off ;] | 13:50 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: your welcome to do it how you want, I'm just trying to give you a more experienced viewpoint to save you pain down the line | 13:50 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: ok no prob - is there a link so this upstream that will fix it - would be interested in reading about it | 13:50 |
| Wyleyrabbit | got a question about editing the menu in Ubuntu. If I right-click the menu and choose "edit menus", the menu editor comes up. I would like to move an item from one group to another, but when I drag from menu "a" to menu "b", the editor crashes. Is there another way to do this? | 13:50 |
| orangesicle | Hi. After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. fontconfig and fontconfig-config are installed, as are the microsoft fonts, so i am not sure what the problem is. | 13:51 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: let me check | 13:51 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ok- im all new an dunderstand i can do it my way - put a l;ot of though intop that partotion and it SUCKS so im asking to gain ur wisdom not to challenge u --= i leran better when i undersatnd they why behind it | 13:51 |
| virus92 | ikonia: I'm trying to use the oldest backup wich was made in automatic. | 13:51 |
| ikonia | virus92: ok ? | 13:52 |
| rungss | Wyleyrabbit: try adding a new item for a Group and enter the detail | 13:52 |
| ikonia | virus92: I wouldn't do that, I'd just reset it to a safe setting and move forward | 13:52 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: my preferred editor was nano but it still used vi | 13:52 |
| alado2 | <astro76>ok set nano as editor, but still cant edit it in the terminal, i'll think i'll take the chance with sudo nano /etc/sudoers | 13:52 |
| xomp | would anyone here know if orinoco support is available in hardy? Gutsy has never been capable of using my w200 usb wifi adapter and I would love to know if hardy has resolved this issue. | 13:52 |
| Randocal | The PC I"m sitting at has both WinXP and Gutsy installed on it (both on seperate HDs). Will upgrading to Hardy break my grub config somehow and break my ability to dual boot? | 13:52 |
| Lamego | Randocal, no | 13:53 |
| ikonia | Randocal: shouldn't do | 13:53 |
| arvind_khadri | Randocal, no | 13:53 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey, alado2, really? update-alternatives didn't work for either of you? | 13:53 |
| Randocal | excellent, thank you. | 13:53 |
| Flynsarmy | I uninstalled firefox, broke my firefox icon in the taskbar, reinstalled firefox but now it's changed to some weird icon (even though the link works). How can i get the FF icon back? (I use Hardy) | 13:53 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: nope, I ran it and it was set to nano | 13:53 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i have anothert laptop w25g XP SP2 Mandrvia - and i want OpenGEU Ubuntu and only 2 puppy on a 160 hdd but i wont start that till a can get it right here i - i guess so many puppies so i can get the multi linux grub lkoading understood - then just go back repatition to like 3 or 4 total distros and be happy | 13:53 |
| Wyleyrabbit | rungss: I've added a new group, selected the group to add the checkbox for the group, and closed the menu editor. My new group doesn't appear. | 13:54 |
| alado2 | <astro76> nope, or the command worked and i changed it to nano, but still when i type sudo visudo i cant edit | 13:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Flynsarmy, try restarting gdm once ans see | 13:54 |
| Flynsarmy | arvind_khadri: I restarted my PC. didn't help | 13:54 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: multiple puppy installs won't help you understand grub, 2 distros of any choice will help you with that (thats why I suggested a shared /boot parttiion) | 13:54 |
| rungss | yeah it happens the editor doesn't behave as expected... no idea why... | 13:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Flynsarmy, no idea then | 13:54 |
| === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber | ||
| DistroJockey | astro76: Hardy install here | 13:55 |
| fiXXXerMet | Myrtti: Installing grub took care of my issues. | 13:55 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | so i have 7.3G for Ubuntu on here - i WILLLLL add a lot to it so i want it big and as it is in the front. | 13:55 |
| Myrtti | fiXXXerMet: have a good one :-) | 13:55 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey: still on gutsy here ;) | 13:55 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | do 3 a total of Only 3 Full installs is MUCH better way to go??? | 13:55 |
| virus92 | ikonia: Section "Screen" | 13:55 |
| virus92 | Identifier"Default Screen" | 13:55 |
| virus92 | Monitor"Configured Monitor" | 13:55 |
| virus92 | Device"Configured Video Device" | 13:55 |
| virus92 | Defaultdepth24 | 13:55 |
| FloodBot1 | virus92: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:55 |
| virus92 | EndSection | 13:55 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: thats sensible if ubuntu will be your core and most disk hungry OS give it as much as you can spare without vausing issues | 13:55 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ikonia: | 13:55 |
| legend2440 | Flynsarmy: right click launcher icon for firefo choose properties click on icon the correct icon for firefox is in /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png | 13:56 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: yes, I would say 3 distros is easier to manage and will give you a solid insite to things | 13:56 |
| ikonia | virus92: why ar eyou showing me this | 13:56 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: so your visudo can use nano? | 13:56 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i LOVE Ubuntu and how easy it is to use - but i want a few os i can go learn in mess up bad and only reformat that partition and not keep losing my ubuntu like i have been | 13:56 |
| virus92 | ikonia: it stopped me because of flooding. the only 2 section that seem video card related are these two | 13:57 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey: honestly I haven't tried, I use vim ;) but I've helped people set it | 13:57 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: :) | 13:57 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | if u will write out a good disk layout ill implement it tonight | 13:57 |
| ikonia | virus92: add the driver line then if its not there or use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the vesa driver | 13:57 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: vim is not exactly newbie friendly (no offense) | 13:57 |
| virus92 | ikonia: ok | 13:57 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey: well wait a sec... the default in Ubuntu was always nano, and I always have to change it to vim | 13:58 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey: is this clean Hardy install? | 13:58 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: that looks to be the case | 13:58 |
| arvind_khadri | DistroJockey, agreed ...but if we use it regularly we can use it efficiently | 13:58 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: yeah | 13:58 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: well 1.) 250meg /boot (ext3) - this will be the /boot partition for ALL you linux installs 2.) 512 meg swap partition 3.) 7 Gig shared data partition 4.) extended partition 5.) 6 gig ubuntu partition (ext3) 6.) 1.6 gig puppy install partition 7.) 1.6 puppy install 8.) all the rest of the free disk space incase you want to try a different distro | 13:58 |
| DistroJockey | arvind_khadri: heyya :) Yes, I can use it :) But things aren't exactly obvious :) | 13:59 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | but i have the ubuntu 1st now | 13:59 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: once you got your wireless working can you click on network manager and list nearby access points or do you have to preset the ssid in a file | 13:59 |
| DistroJockey | ooo, 3 smilies, hehe | 13:59 |
| Flynsarmy | legend2440: Thanks :) | 13:59 |
| arvind_khadri | DistroJockey, yeah :) | 13:59 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: sorry ? | 13:59 |
| legend2440 | Flynsarmy: yw | 13:59 |
| Flynsarmy | Has anyone noticed system monitor resources tab using huge amounts of CPU? | 13:59 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: don't quite understand your last question | 14:00 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey: it takes practice.... for years I only used basics until I made myself integrate a few new vi commands into my usage every time I used it | 14:00 |
| pisse | Hi! I'm reading a warcraft 3 on wine how to.. "The most important is a new ( 3.0 and newer) and working WineX version" Where can I see my WineX version? | 14:00 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | - do i grow it right and then make new on its left??? | 14:00 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | my 1st partition is this ubuntu 7.3g and i dont want to lose it if possible | 14:00 |
| xomp | would anyone here know if orinoco support is available in hardy? Gutsy has never been capable of using my w200 usb wifi adapter and I would love to know if hardy has resolved this issue. | 14:00 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: agreed :) | 14:00 |
| astro76 | DistroJockey: it's really amazing how quick you can edit without moving your fingers from the keys once you are proficient | 14:00 |
| orangesicle | After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. fontconfig and fontconfig-config are installed, as are the microsoft fonts, so i am not sure what the problem is. xfont postscript type1 truetype are listed as installed sets in defoma | 14:00 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: it just connects on startup | 14:00 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: thats a tough call, you can try to manage the partitions and re-lay them out, but hand on heart, because your not using a shared /boot partition I personally would re-install and use that as a learning experience | 14:01 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: so say you went to starbucks - you couldnt easly search for lan and connect - you would have to alter config file | 14:01 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: ie once I hit the desktop the wallet manager asks for the pass then it connects | 14:01 |
| alado2 | <DistroJockey> <astro76> I managed to do it by doing it the ugly sudo nano /etc/sudoers way :) thnx for the help though | 14:01 |
| DistroJockey | astro76: yep | 14:01 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: the former | 14:01 |
| DistroJockey | alado2: you're welcome :) | 14:02 |
| clusty | hey | 14:02 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ive rbuilt so many times whats one more - its where i got what little i do know from - from a 45 hour install and prog update to under 3 - lol | 14:02 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: oh ok thats good then - i thought may end up with limited functionality | 14:02 |
| legend2440 | since switching to hardy fsck run in the usplash screen and no info on percent of contiguous file is given. is that the way its supposed to work now? | 14:02 |
| DistroJockey | and on that note, I think I had better sleep. Later | 14:02 |
| clusty | is there a way to copy an ubuntu installation iso onto a memory stick? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: I assure you you'll find it easier to manage with a seperate /boot partition, plus it will be valuable learning | 14:03 |
| astro76 | !usb | clusty | 14:03 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: this is about the best card there is; consider, we could have both had broadcom's ;] | 14:03 |
| astro76 | !install | clusty try here | 14:03 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | so how do i make big brown (ubuntu) put its grub in first folder it usually throews it where it wasnt | 14:03 |
| astro76 | clusty: apparently the bot is busted | 14:03 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, :) | 14:03 |
| clusty | :D | 14:03 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: you don't | 14:03 |
| bazhang | ubotu lag | 14:03 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: I'll explain | 14:03 |
| bazhang | ubot5 lag | 14:03 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | and im allllll about learning - this copy of ubuntu is on borrowed time | 14:03 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: when you install ubuntu, you'll get the partition layout tool | 14:03 |
| astro76 | clusty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 14:03 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: are you familier with that screen | 14:03 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | yes | 14:04 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: yes i know - well it was my plan get a good solid card hoping it would be supported outu of the box - i still dont get how some really old and crap ethernet cards can be working out of the box but a good intel wireless card not be - its bad I think | 14:04 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: ok so when you are laying it out, your going to specify 1.) 250meg ext3 partition which the mount point will be /boot, 1 / partition of 6 gig (or however big you want), 1 swap partition of 512 meg | 14:05 |
| bazhang | hardy is being fixed though nickthorley--in gutsy the card was great--the fix should bring it back (knock on wood) | 14:05 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5:the installer will then put all the grub info to allow you to boot ubuntu (and your other distros when you are ready) in /boot, it will then put the grub boot loader on the MBR of that disk | 14:05 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ohhhh so do ALLLLL manually screw guided | 14:06 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: i think it should have been like that before release though - to me its a major feature - like cpu support - they seem to get nice fluffy gui bits spot on at the expense of what i see as fundamentals | 14:06 |
| xomp | would anyone here know if orinoco support is available in hardy? Gutsy has never been capable of using my w200 usb wifi adapter and I would love to know if hardy has resolved this issue. I xomp promise to vote for Ron Paul if someone can verify for me. | 14:06 |
| W8TAH | hi folks -- ive had issues the last day or 2 across 2 different installs of ubuntu on 2 different switch ports where connections arent maintained at all - -it will last for maybe 2-3 minutes - the determining factor SEEMS to be my broadcom card and the special driver - i disabled it and it seems to be working right -- how do i begin to toubleshoot this? | 14:06 |
| orangesicle | After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. fontconfig and fontconfig-config are installed, as are the microsoft fonts, so i am not sure what the problem is. xfont postscript type1 truetype are listed as installed sets in defoma | 14:06 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: I don't k now what you mean by that | 14:06 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | i always run into some missing there screen goes red when its time to rock n roll | 14:06 |
| nzvip | I connect my USB mouse (which works fine on another Ubuntu installation), but it won't work on mine, instead I have to use my touchpad. I'd really like to use this USB mouse, cause touchpad is no good to draw with. | 14:07 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | do a manual partition install - dont just click guided and let ubuntu do it like i usually do | 14:07 |
| bazhang | orangesicle: you went directly from 7.04 to 8.04? | 14:07 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: yes, thats correct a manual install as your layout out not just for ubuntu, but actually partly for your future puppy installs | 14:08 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: do you see what I'm saying and why ? | 14:08 |
| voraistos | Hi. I just installed 8.04, but apt keeps breaking on me, failing to fetch stuff constantly. Anybody else has this problem ? | 14:08 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | yes i do and i finally start to see how a multi linux can work | 14:08 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: thats it, you get it. | 14:09 |
| Danish989 | Hi everyone | 14:09 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: the /boot partition will be /boot for all your distros, so you only have one /boot partition to manage and on menu.lst file | 14:09 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: hence why I'm pushing you to look at that | 14:09 |
| orangesicle | After upgrading from 7.04 to to 8.04, all of my fonts have turned to squares in folders, on the desktop, and in most applications. fontconfig and fontconfig-config are installed, as are the microsoft fonts, so i am not sure what the problem is. xfont postscript type1 truetype are listed as installed sets in defoma | 14:09 |
| Danish989 | I'm having trouble with themes, whenever I install a theme in the Appearance Manager, it says the theme has been installed and asks me if I want to apply the new theme or keep the current one, but no matter what option I choose, I can't see the theme in the list... what is the problem? | 14:09 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: did you find a link to the doc? | 14:09 |
| nzvip | Well? | 14:10 |
| bazhang | orangesicle: I asked you a question | 14:10 |
| nzvip | I am using a 2.6.22 kernel. | 14:10 |
| nzvip | If that helps. | 14:10 |
| phaidros | whats the best way to enable dualhead on 8.04 nvidia (laptop, without restarting X) .. ? | 14:10 |
| nzvip | 2.6.24 fails epicly for me. | 14:10 |
| neeto | Is there a way to change the gnome tooltip color? (Even if it's hackish, hit me.) | 14:10 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: a bit busy at the moment; search terms were ubuntu hardy 3945 bug | 14:10 |
| nzvip | neeto, the select colour in the theme set up. | 14:11 |
| phaidros | the autodetecetion doesnÃ't work (system-settings-screen resolution) | 14:11 |
| Danish989 | can someone help me, I can't install themes :( | 14:11 |
| ikonia | Danish989: how ar eyou trying to install them ? | 14:11 |
| neeto | nzvip: impressive. I thought it was gonna be as hard as it was under previous kernels | 14:11 |
| orangesicle | Sorry bahzang: I went from 7.04-> 7.10. Midway through the installation, my fonts became squares. This persisted after I went ahead and installed 8.04 from 7.10 | 14:11 |
| nzvip | o_O Really? | 14:11 |
| nzvip | It has always been this easy for me under GNOME. | 14:11 |
| nzvip | Even on Slackware | 14:12 |
| legend2440 | since switching to hardy fsck runs in the usplash screen and no info on percent of non-contiguous files is given. is that the way its supposed to work now? | 14:12 |
| nzvip | I know, Slackware... it's CRAZY. | 14:12 |
| voraistos | it might be a missing locale irangesicle | 14:12 |
| nzvip | But at least on Slackware my USB mouse works! | 14:12 |
| Danish989 | ikonia: I tried both ways, by dragging them in the appearance manager and also by choosing the Install option | 14:12 |
| Lamego | legend2440, such info is useless :) | 14:12 |
| ikonia | Danish989: and what happens ? | 14:12 |
| orangesicle | Bahzang: I simply used the update manager. No errors or anything were reported. | 14:12 |
| neeto | nzvip: hmm on second thought I am running xfce, so there's no easy way to get to the gnome theme manager. Do you happen to know what file it's actually changing? | 14:12 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ikonia: thank you - 1st person to take the time to explain it and now im might even be able to get 2 Linux on one box running - ther 3rd will be the proof i actually Understand it - and if i want puupy hell - they can have a frugal - theuy co-exist peacufull with any os tthere why deo more when i actually will know what im doing and theyre quicker to rmovew that way :D | 14:12 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: no problem - sorry for disturbing you and thanks for the chat - will hopefully see you later tonight | 14:12 |
| nzvip | Sadly, neeto, I do not. :( | 14:13 |
| legend2440 | Lamego: ok but is this normal for hardy? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: your welcome. If you get stuck or your not sure of anything, please ask, it's 30 seconds to ask a question, it could take hours to repair a mistake | 14:13 |
| orangesicle | voraistos: missing locale. how might i remedy this? | 14:13 |
| Lamego | legend2440, yes | 14:13 |
| orangey | hello! | 14:13 |
| Fritzel | does ubuntu by default have any form of firewall active? | 14:13 |
| legend2440 | Lamego: ok ty | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Fritzel: no | 14:13 |
| slaine_ | try replacing the fontconfig cache, /usr/bin/fc-cache -v -r | 14:13 |
| xomp | would anyone here know if orinoco support is available in hardy? Gutsy has never been capable of using my w200 usb wifi adapter and I would love to know if hardy has resolved this issue. I xomp promise to vote for Ron Paul if someone can verify for me. | 14:13 |
| Fritzel | ikonia, ok thanks, that's not it then | 14:14 |
| orangey | Is there a good instruction page somewhere on how to get pulseaudio going with hardy? | 14:14 |
| Danish989 | ikonia: it asks me if I want to apply the new theme or keep the current, and no matter what I choose, I can't see the new theme in the thumbnails .. | 14:14 |
| ikonia | xomp: there is an orinoco module, I don't know about its stability/usability | 14:14 |
| Lamego | Fritzel, available yes, configured for blocking or filtering something, no | 14:14 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | so for the othe M$ comp I JUST loaded mandriva on - tonight - erase it drofrmat partion and then do simillar partitio set up like u said here after M$ for XP mandriva OpenGEU an Ubuntu??? | 14:14 |
| moveax | I need a decent, native mmo for Linux - anyone know any? :] | 14:14 |
| nzvip | Is there something about Ubuntu being unable to run two mouses at a time? | 14:14 |
| xomp | ikonia, ok thanks, I believe it's the same module for Gutsy which never worked *ho hum* | 14:14 |
| Fritzel | Lamego, where can I pull it up at to look at it | 14:14 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: the same technique would be worth applying for any mutli-linux machine | 14:14 |
| Lamego | moveax, mmo ? | 14:14 |
| peophol | how do i delete a dir? | 14:15 |
| Lamego | !firewall | Fritzel | 14:15 |

| N1N31NCHN41L5 | just if it has XP - immmediately after xp? | 14:15 |

| Danish989 | ikonia: GTK2+ themes | 14:15 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: if it has XP on it, the same applies, just with an XP partition rather than mutiple linux partitions | 14:15 |
| Lamego | moveax, you can run WOW using wine | 14:15 |
| moveax | Lamego: But it doesn't have to be on that scale; just a nice mmorpg or something. | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Danish989: thats odd, and it doesn't change your desktop theme if you click "apply" | 14:15 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | am i weir for wanting madriva -OpenGEU and Ubuntu on 1 machine | 14:15 |
| voraistos | orangesicle: first of all, i seem to lag a lot, so sorry, then, i dont know how to remedy that, but language support might be a good thing. your files could have been using iso-whatever and now ubuntu uses utf8 or something -i am not sure though :O - My guess is to pay a visit to synaptic and see what makes sense to install. Do you have an english system ? | 14:15 |
| orangesicle | slaine: Thanks. it says succeeded, but no fonts still. Should I try restarting? | 14:15 |
| moveax | Lamego: I don't want to play wow heh | 14:15 |
| knifepoint | Has anyone got any tips or tricks to get the ati cards actually working with OpenGl in Hardy? | 14:16 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: pardon ? | 14:16 |
| Lamego | well, I am not familiar with open source mmo games :P | 14:16 |
| Danish989 | ikonia: it did for one theme but that's it, it doesn't the rest of the times | 14:16 |
| Fritzel | moveax, they're not native but WoW, Lotro, EQ2, CoH/V all run with some minor nudging | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Danish989: is there anything in the syslog that gives a clue "eg AgentX is having Y problem" | 14:16 |
| Fritzel | moveax, probably more that I havn't tried yet | 14:16 |
| orangesicle | voraistos: No problem. thanks for the help. I'll see if I can mess with language stuff somehow. I am not able to get into synaptic because all of the fonts in it are squares, unfortunately. | 14:16 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | do many people run 2 or 3 linux distros one box? | 14:17 |
| arvind_khadri | orangesicle, do you have ttf fonts?? | 14:17 |
| Danish989 | ikonia: I just got it! I was poking around, and I have to go into ''customize'' in themes in the appearance manager to see the installed themes ... sorry for wasting your time, and thanks :) | 14:17 |
| orangey | is anyone here using pulse audio? | 14:17 |

| ferronica | how to check md5 in ubuntu 7.10? | 14:18 |
| Daviey | orangey: everyone on hardy is :) | 14:18 |
| orangesicle | arvind: those are the microsoft ones, right? I do have those. or at least it tells me i do when i use the sudo apt-get install | 14:18 |
| shane2peru | !es | 14:18 |
| voraistos | orangesicle you could try apt-cache (read the man page) or aptitude to install stuff. | 14:18 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ad since it has xp already do i move the XP partition to the right for the /boot and /swap partitonions or add the after t5he 25.3G for XP | 14:18 |
| emmajane | I need to send a font along with a PDF to my printer, but I can't find it on the system. Does anyone know the TTF name for URW Gothic L Demi? | 14:18 |

| ferronica | i want to check MD5 sum of ubuntu 8.04 how do i check it? | 14:18 |
| arvind_khadri | orangesicle, those are not MS ones | 14:18 |
| amenado | N1N31NCHN41L5-> linux does not requite to be booted of the first 1024 cylinders, | 14:19 |
| Lamego | ferronica, you need to use an md5sum utlity, are you on a linux system ? | 14:19 |
| voraistos | orangesicle: you could try force-removing msttcorefonts. and then reinstall them. | 14:19 |
| ferronica | Lamego: yes i am on linux | 14:19 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | amenado | 14:19 |
| orangesicle | Defoma tells me I have these installed xfont postscript type1 truetype | 14:19 |
| Lamego | ferronica, md5sum file.iso | 14:20 |
| ferronica | Lamego: utility name > | 14:20 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Lamego | 14:20 |
| ferronica | Lamego: yes | 14:20 |
| orangesicle | voraistos: I will give that a try. and I'll look into your other idea | 14:20 |
| Lamego | run it, on the terminal: md5sum file.iso | 14:20 |
| Ronald | orangey: you may have selected things other then "auto detect" in gstreamer-properties and alike... | 14:20 |
| ferronica | Lamego: i have just downloded ubuntu 8.04 iso | 14:20 |
| Nostahl | hi all how is everyone liking the new ubuntu release | 14:20 |
| Lamego | and check the result against the md5 file | 14:20 |
| Lamego | !ot | Nostahl | 14:20 |
| orangey | ronald: I'm trying various options there, but no go. | 14:20 |
| orangey | interestingly, it jams movie playback and the like. | 14:21 |
| Fritzel | Nostahl, I love it but I wish something would end up in the repos I'm starting to feel like synaptic isn't broken with all this downtime | 14:21 |
| knifepoint | Has anyone got any tips or tricks to get the ati cards actually working with OpenGl in Hardy? | 14:21 |
| orangey | ronald: Do I have to logout / login when I change those settings? | 14:21 |
| Ronald | orangey: most problems i seen in forums come from upgraders..... | 14:21 |
| voraistos | hey i have a bug to report. the time/date/weather applet tells me it's sunny.... But it is very much raining. | 14:21 |
| * voraistos complains | 14:21 | |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Lamego - thats qhy i am HERE my basic q?s will wnable me to run 2 diff versions of Ubuntu on a machine with xp - im starting small so as not to kill ububntu many more times - it takes a while to put tohether | 14:21 |
| shoot^ | ugh, getting the ATI white screen of death in Hardy. Anyone have a fix? | 14:21 |
| * arvind_khadri says msttcorefonts almost borke my system | 14:21 | |
| cody-somerville | voraistos, You must have the wrong location entered. | 14:21 |
| Lamego | voraistos, that is not a bug, that is a problem with the weather report service, it is not ubuntu related | 14:22 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ikonia: thank - gonna reformat now | 14:22 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, i like envyng | 14:22 |
| knifepoint | shoot^ Me too :( | 14:22 |
| Nostahl | voraistos when have you ever known a weatherman to be correct? heh | 14:22 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | - well in a few while i sleep | 14:22 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 14:22 |
| * voraistos knows. I mean come on, why would you install any package that contains MS in its name ? | 14:22 | |
| Lamego | N1N31NCHN41L5, why do you need 2 versions of Ubuntu ? | 14:22 |
| moveax | Fritzel: I'm looking to move away from the lotro, wow scenes | 14:22 |
| Fritzel | moveax, towards what? | 14:22 |
| orangey | ronald: and the usual solutions? | 14:22 |
| peophol | how do i configure alsa | 14:22 |
| Fritzel | moveax, new blood? | 14:22 |
| moveax | Fritzel: less known games; wow and lotro are full of kids | 14:23 |
| Ronald | orangey: some disable pulse... but i suspect trying a very clean (newly made) user account might be worth a try | 14:23 |
| Fritzel | moveax, -nod- I can't make any recommendations there then because simply put I havn't found any | 14:23 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: I've envyed, I've installed from the ati .run, I've used restricted, i was thinking about reverting to the open source drivers but the Graphics is no there anymore how do i change video device | 14:23 |
| orangey | ronald: ah. permissions thing? | 14:23 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | tbhe diversity of the diff ubuntu distros is great but my true lovre is good ol pain ubuntu | 14:23 |
| Fritzel | moveax, I know that regnum is an option but I can't remember why I didn't like it | 14:23 |
| voraistos | Nostahl: it's not just the weather man. He as actually hacked into my linux install and lied to my computer so i would be lost when i look outside the window ! | 14:23 |
| Ronald | orangey: piles of settings in the users config perhaps. Normally a user cannot change anything systemwide after all | 14:24 |
| Fritzel | moveax, there's also vendetta online which is a space mmo | 14:24 |
| Nostahl | lol voraistos | 14:24 |
| Lamego | N1N31NCHN41L5, you can use all of the distro flavors on a single installation, all the desktop types can be used form the same installation, there is no need for multiple installs | 14:24 |
| moveax | Fritzel: ever tried dofus? | 14:24 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: sorry that didnt make much sense. How do i change the video driver as the graphics option in the systems menu is not there in hardy | 14:24 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Alll - evern Geubuntu | 14:25 |
| stwange | how do I change my machine to use eg. /usr/java/jkd1.6.0_01/jre/bin/java instead of /usr/bin/java when I type java, without root? | 14:25 |
| Fritzel | moveax, hmm no looking it up now what's it like? | 14:25 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, envyng is a program to install the nvidia, or ati drivers that they have on their sites for linux | 14:26 |
| orangey | ronald: OK. I just added myself to the groups pulse, pulse-access, and pulse-rt | 14:26 |
| nahe | hi every one, i have a question how can preconfigure a debian package. i need to know steps to follow | 14:26 |
| Fritzel | moveax, ahh, isometric? I can't bring myself to play an isometric mmo, they're decent games just not for an mmo (imo) | 14:26 |
| Lamego | N1N31NCHN41L5, that is not an offical Ubuntu version | 14:26 |
| * Scrounch is now away: off | 14:26 | |

| knifepoint | L0stm4n: 2.6.24-16-generic | 14:27 |
| L0stm4n | arvind_khadri: I need to see if maybe my kernel didn't upgrade properly from gutsy, I dont remember what version I was using | 14:27 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: yep :( | 14:27 |
| legend2440 | L0stm4n: 2.6.24-16-generic | 14:27 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | it still loads ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon | 14:27 |
| L0stm4n | hmmm well crap | 14:27 |
| Ronald | orangey: try making a new user in the user and group admin, log in as that user and try... just to see if its customisations under your own user | 14:27 |
| arvind_khadri | L0stm4n, oh ok :) | 14:27 |
| nahe | yes using the dpkg-preconfigure, i looked in the internet abd i found that if we want ask questions to my debian package we shoul use dpkg-preconfugure | 14:27 |
| slaine_ | pcmcia install proceeding from the alternat iso, cheers | 14:27 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, have you tried disableing compiz? | 14:27 |
| moveax | Fritzel: hehe, it looks OK. Good fun. | 14:28 |
| arvind_khadri | nahe use the man pages | 14:28 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: yep... that works. But um doesn't help the underlying problem. | 14:28 |
| L0stm4n | anyone know why installing virtualbox would give me and error about no suitable module for my kernel? | 14:29 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, you don't have any problem when you have turned off compiz? | 14:29 |
| L0stm4n | * Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv * No suitable module for running kernel found. | 14:29 |
| Fritzel | meh, I just like a traditional follow behind mmo, which is why I've taken up Lotro lately ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=kec2v96BV9k ) with all public channels turned off for kid censoring | 14:29 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: other than the OpenGl being handled by Mesa... no problems. | 14:29 |
| moveax | Fritzel: yeah i've played lotro too | 14:30 |
| amenado | stwange-> man update-alternatives | 14:30 |

| chimp | Hey, im trying to use unetbootin on ubuntu to just try to run parted magic for example, but when running it, it doesnt actually download any files for whatever distribution i select, it just adds the grub entry and asks me to reboot, any ideas why? | 14:31 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | ikonia: thanks for ur time | 14:31 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, go to System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers, and see if you are using a ati driver there | 14:31 |

| Scrounch | Hi all, :'( virtualbox don't runing in hardy ?? :'( | 14:32 |
| Fritzel | Scrounch, it works fine here | 14:32 |
| LjL | Scrounch, is it an upgrade from gutsy? | 14:32 |
| Scrounch | yes | 14:33 |
| neeto | Scrounch: you gotta reinstall, but it works. | 14:33 |
| Scrounch | he say "Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel" | 14:33 |
| bazzieb | i have installed 2x500gig sata HDD and i have formated them with GParted. Do i still have to put entries in the fstab? | 14:33 |
| Flynsarmy | Why is my sound at 0% when it reaches like 70% on the sound meter up the top? | 14:33 |
| LjL | Scrounch: then try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic" and then "sudo depmod" | 14:33 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, have you tried glxgears, aiglxgears and glxinfo? | 14:33 |
| neeto | Scrounch: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules | 14:33 |
| neeto | Scrounch, do what LjL said. | 14:34 |
| Flynsarmy | 100% on the volume control is 100% volume, but 70% on volume control is around 0% actual volume. it raises/losers way faster than the volume meter | 14:34 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: glxgears gets about 1299 frames ill check the other two now | 14:34 |
| LjL | Scrounch: actually, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-16-generic" | 14:34 |
| ubutom | hey folks, how can i enable sound in flashplugin? I dont have sound on youtube, for example? | 14:35 |
| bazzieb | i have installed 2x500gig sata HDD and i have formated them with GParted. Do i still have to put entries in the fstab? | 14:35 |
| cleaton | knifepoint, glxgears is opengl so pengl is working | 14:35 |
| antosecret | Hi everybody. Today I installed ubuntu 8.04.

Can anyone help me? | 14:35 |
| Fritzel | ubutom, I second that question | 14:35 |
| cleaton | ubutom, there's a package called libflashsupport | 14:36 |
| cleaton | ubutom, that will enable flash support for pulse audio | 14:36 |
| ubutom | thx, gonna check it out | 14:36 |
| knifepoint | cleaton: yeah its working with the generic mesa drivers not fglrx mesa isnt good enough to handle compiz... or much at that | 14:36 |
| Fritzel | cleaton, any idea what will enable youtube or any other video to play fore more than 2 seconds when another device is using sound? | 14:36 |
| Fritzel | video = flash video | 14:36 |
| cleaton | Fritzel, flash works fine for me in more then 2 seconds | 14:37 |
| === C3s4r is now known as Bella-ve | ||
| legend2440 | knifepoint: i have ati radeon card using fglrx driver. when you type fglrxinfo in terminal it says mesa? | 14:37 |

| knifepoint | legend2440: yep :( | 14:37 |
| Fritzel | cleaton, it does here too, unless I'm running another app that is using sound, such as wine, also yes I have libflashsupport installed | 14:37 |
| Fritzel | if I am running any program that is using sound it stops after 2 seconds everytime | 14:38 |
| otarid | Hi, my wireless hasn't been working ever since I upgraded to hardy. I have an acer 5920 laptop with intel Pro/Wireless 3945 network card. Wireless works with the older kernel (that was added to boot menu), but not with the new one (probably because of iw3945).

| Fritzel | if I exit the offending program it works fine again, and if the youtube video has no sound it works ifne | 14:38 |
| Fritzel | fine | 14:38 |

| Fritzel | cleaton, pulse sits beneath both alsa and oss right? so that means if it uses alsa or oss it should be compatible correct? | 14:39 |

| ubutom | cleaton: it's working now ;-) | 14:39 |
| knifepoint | legend2440: yep done everything thats there | 14:40 |
| cleaton | Fritzel, yeah i think that should be the case, but linux audio is kinda a mess | 14:40 |
| Fritzel | cleaton, ok yes that works | 14:40 |
| Fritzel | cleaton, I have sound in both the movie and the youtube video | 14:40 |
| otarid | :< | 14:40 |
| cleaton | Fritzel, ok then it's wine that isn't working correctly with pulse | 14:41 |
| cleaton | Fritzel, i think wine is using the alsa | 14:41 |
| legend2440 | knifepoint: so you have xorg-driver-fglrx installed? | 14:41 |
| cleaton | Freduardo, instead of going to pulse to enable sound | 14:41 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | i have two HDs (both IDE). The first is where my gorgeous hardy resides, the other is where an equally beautiful Gutsy install is. I'd like to reformat that second so that I can have another OS installed, that multi boots Hardy and that other OS ;) Thing is, when I try a clean install on that 2nd HD, I get "other OS is not compatible with the partition" [even when I try deleting the partitions]. What to do, please. Or someone point me somewhere I could | 14:41 |
| Fritzel | cleaton, in my case it is | 14:41 |
| ubutom | oh my.... i just tried to play a video and ff crashed.... | 14:41 |
| Fritzel | cleaton, I'll talk to winehq and see what they know, thanks for the help narrowing it down | 14:41 |
| knifepoint | legend2440: at this point in time im actually using the fglrx driver from the ati site but the same problem occurs with the restricted driver | 14:42 |
| === magical is now known as shay_lo_croma | ||
| legend2440 | knifepoint: If fglrxinfo reports that Indirect rendering by Mesa is in place, even though you have installed ATI driver, check: * Remove the package xserver-xgl. | 14:42 |
| cleaton | Fritzel, there should probably be a fix similar to the flash problem :P | 14:42 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | so if i erased the recovery mode nas memtest 86+ mode in /boot/gub/menu.lst - they would be options at boot up? | 14:42 |

| Lamego | regis_, sudo apt-get remove --purge package | 14:43 |
| knifepoint | legend2440: i did have xgl server installed at first (Gutsy Upgrade) but i have since removed it and the problem remains | 14:43 |

| Fritzel | cleaton, I think I found my solution "Under Hardy you can just set Wine's audio driver to OSS and start wine in a pulse audio wrapper ("padsp wine MyApp.exe")." | 14:43 |
| knifepoint | legend2440: yeah ive already followed the instructions there to no avail | 14:44 |

| wolfwalker | Wow, crowded here today. I'll come back after work tonight. | 15:20 |
| Pelo | Stephen, just for my personnal enlightement : what would be the advantage of such a thing ? | 15:20 |
| LjL | speedhunt3r: ok, you need to either start the Restricted Drivers manager (and then i cannot really help you there, i never used it :), or you can do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and use the "nvidia" driver instead of "nv" or "vesa" or whatever you're using right now | 15:20 |
| Lamego | Stephen, check http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-swap-adding.html | 15:20 |
| LjL | speedhunt3r: you should, however, make sure that you know how to restore the previous xorg.conf, in case things go bad | 15:20 |
| Stephen | Pelo: "I want it so" =) | 15:20 |
| matt__ | anyone? iptables crashes outright if I try to do anything | 15:21 |
| amenado | Stephen-> how do you even make a swap file? | 15:21 |
| Stephen | Lamego: at the installation I just go without creating a swap partition? | 15:21 |
| amenado | matt__-> crashes? what kind of error? | 15:21 |
| speedhunt3r | LjL, I'm trying to restore what i had setup before upgrading...which was Nvidia drivers downloaded from the website and manual install..but I tried doing that just now, can't seem to make it work. | 15:21 |
| matt__ | none | 15:21 |
| Lynet | Is apt-file snafu? It fails to update cache cause the files don't exist on the archive sites. | 15:21 |
| Agilo | Pampa: i'm private messaging you | 15:21 |
| Dr_willis | I belive one uses the mkswap command.. to make a swap file. been ages sicne ive done that. | 15:21 |
| LjL | speedhunt3r: that dpkg-reconfigure command will tell you where it made a backup copy. you can restore the backup copy by typing "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.whatever-it-called-it /etc/X11/xorg.conf", or by running again "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". a terminal can be accessed by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 | 15:21 |
| Stephen | amenado: ??? | 15:21 |
| Agilo | Pampa: are you receiving my messages?? | 15:22 |
| amenado | matt__-> how do you know it crashes | 15:22 |
| zamba | i need mp3 support for ffmpeg.. what are my options? | 15:22 |
| matt__ | I just did an ltrace on 'iptables -L' and I get nothing | 15:22 |
| Stephen | amenado: that was my question | 15:22 |
| Pampa | •Agilo• yes agilo tell me | 15:22 |
| Lamego | Stephen, yes, but be advised that file swap is much slower than partition swap | 15:22 |
| Agilo | Pampa: hang on im looking it up | 15:22 |
| Stephen | Lamego: why? | 15:22 |
| LjL | speedhunt3r: please do *not* use nvidia drivers downloaded from the website, unless you're *very* sure that's the only route that works on your computer. that's likely the reason why it's broken just now. | 15:22 |
| matt__ | ideally I'd like to use ufw but that crashes outright as well. I can't quit the process or even log into another tty | 15:22 |
| amenado | Stephen-> where did you get this idea that there is such thing as swap file as opposed to swap partition? | 15:22 |
| Lamego | Stephen, because accessing a raw partition is much faster than acessing a file which is OS managed | 15:22 |
| Pampa | •Agilo• many thanks friend i'm waiting for you | 15:22 |
| LjL | Lynet: haven't used it for a while... auto-apt is an alternative (although it doesn't find *all* files), or there's always http://packages.ubuntu.com | 15:23 |
| Dr_willis | amenado, speaking of swap i noticed this the other day in the package manager ----> swapd - Swap demon for dynamic swap file creation | 15:23 |
| Lamego | amenado, there is such a thing, but is not recommended, since it is slower compared to part. swap | 15:23 |
| snowblink | Apparently same speed under 2.6 kernels | 15:23 |
| Spaz1331 | My Issue: I upgraded to 8.04, and now when I click a link in Evolution then Firefox steals focus... is there a way to leave focus inside Evolution? | 15:23 |
| Stephen | Lamego: is a swapfile something used often in ubuntu? | 15:23 |
| amenado | Lamego oh okay, i believe you | 15:23 |
| LjL | Stephen: most people use a swap partition, i believe | 15:24 |
| xomp | I'm following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 and on the section that instructs you to type "sudo cp orinoco_ezusb_fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/" in Terminal I get this error "cp: target `/lib/firmware/2.6.22.14-generic/' is not a directory: No such file or directory". Can someone help? | 15:24 |
| qryzzy | my add/remove application just shows busy when i try to apply changes or get updated list of apps. anyone with solutions? | 15:24 |
| Stephen | LjL: I mean is swap used often in an OS? | 15:24 |
| Lamego | Stephen, depends on your physical mem versus the apps that you will be running | 15:24 |
| LjL | xomp: what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 15:24 |
| cmol | Is there any way to reinstall the whole boot sequence? | 15:24 |
| xomp | LjL, Gutsy | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Stephen: a partition is preferable as for the swap file to be usable it has to be on a mounted partition with a valid and writeable file system | 15:24 |
| Stephen | Lamego: physical memory will be enough | 15:25 |
| amenado | Dr_willis-> it may be a process to swap portions of ram memory to swap, back and forth | 15:25 |
| ikonia | Stephen: this can be a limiting factor if your having issues with your disk or at boot time | 15:25 |
| Agilo | Pampa: its pretty tricky because there are so many of them, but the one that worked for me doesnt seem to come up | 15:25 |
| Lamego | Stephen, well, I would use partition swap anyway :) | 15:25 |
| Pampa | ok Agilo | 15:25 |
| Stephen | Lamego: but it is of fixed size | 15:25 |
| LjL | Stephen: it can be. Linux caches files pretty agressively by default -- i.e. when you load files into memory, they're kept there in case they're needed again later, and it's aggressive because it sometimes decides to swap out applications that haven't been used for a while *in favor* of cached files | 15:25 |
| Pampa | do you have 6720S agilo?? | 15:25 |
| Dr_willis | amenado, i though it dyunamically made swap files. like windows does. | 15:25 |
| xomp | LjL, I cd'd into /lib/firmware/2.6.22.14-generic so I know it's there. I think the "cp" command is incorrect but don't know much about linux to figure it out on my own. | 15:26 |
| LjL | Stephen: that doesn't really matter very much, because if you're using so much swap that a sensible setting won't fit it, then your computer will already be thrashing beyond usability at that point | 15:26 |
| Agilo | Pampa: I'm still looking tho, but you can do the same on google, just type in broadcom wireless ubuntu | 15:26 |
| ShadowBelmolve | anyone know how i can acess my pc with VNC???? | 15:26 |
| Pampa | Agilo you have ndiswrapper or open source driver for BCM4312? | 15:26 |

| Agilo | Pampa: ndiswrapper | 15:26 |
| Pampa | ok Agilo | 15:26 |
| cmol | Is there any way to reinstall the whole boot sequence? | 15:26 |
| Stephen | LjL: what is a 'sensible setting'? | 15:26 |
| Amaranth | fredreichbier: If no one else has contributed anything to it, sure | 15:26 |
| LjL | xomp: the "cd" command is fine, if the directory exists... | 15:27 |
| Agilo | Pampa: there are just so many | 15:27 |
| amenado | ShadowBelmolve-> you have to run vncserver on your pc for another remote host to use vnc and get into your pc | 15:27 |
| ikonia | cmol: the boot sequence is a selection of applications and scripts | 15:27 |
| Pampa | Agilo i know that | 15:27 |
| Agilo | Pampa: I'd recommend you type in your exact broadcom card | 15:27 |
| Agilo | Pampa: and see what it gives you | 15:27 |
| Lamego | fredreichbier, if you are the copyright owner you can relicense your property as you like | 15:27 |
| xomp | LjL, I'm currently sitting in my home directory issuing that cp command. If I go back to root, then lib, and so on the directory I'm trying to copy too exists. | 15:28 |
| cmol | ikonia: and there's no repair boot tool? | 15:28 |
| ShadowBelmolve | amenado, my problem is, if i put a random ip to connect, the vnc try to connect for 10s+, but, if i put my ip, in 1s- he say a error >.< | 15:28 |
| ikonia | cmol: not really. Why don't you tell us the problem and we may have a solution | 15:28 |
| matt__ | anyone for iptables? | 15:28 |
| LjL | Stephen: opinions vary, but i think with nowadays' amounts of memory, having little more than your amount of RAM is fine | 15:28 |
| Pampa | Agilo gives me BCM4312 (rev02) | 15:28 |
| ikonia | matt__: what is the problem | 15:28 |
| amenado | ShadowBelmolve-> what is 10s? | 15:28 |

| Agilo | Pampa: it looks like something I did in the beginning, but it isn't as detailed as the site I'm alluding to | 15:32 |
| Lamego | Stephen, you should put your windows vision of swap of the equation, and use the partition based swap as suggested | 15:32 |
| Agilo | Pampa: the site I'm referring to had a section for each type of card. It was just awesome | 15:32 |
| cmol | ikonia: i did that about 5 times now. I also booted without guiet mode to se if there's any segfault, but there isn't. | 15:33 |

| JensT | dustrial: you will have to make a backup of the data you don't want to loose then, a good Idea is to make a separate partition for your home directory, so next time you want to reinstall you won't have to worry about losing the data (since you wont change anything on that partition) | 16:10 |

| nibsa1242b | shally87: you often to enter password when you use sudo | 16:29 |
| lartza_ | nibsa: If you have no exp with wine, just a general performance twaeks would help | 16:29 |

| aoupi | hi, How do I make capslock a modifier key, like right-alt currently is | 16:29 |

| mbarlow310 | dell d830 laptop, nvidia quadro nvs 140m. anyone got nividia drivers working on hardy? everything worked fine on gutsy | 16:30 |
| shally87 | nisba: then right now i cannot open the sudo again.. | 16:30 |
| lartza_ | nibsa: Haven't found any way for that | 16:30 |
| Carbonflux | heh, I figured it out, guess it was offtopic anyway | 16:30 |
| anonusr | rodolfo, shows what's in the kernel ring buffer | 16:30 |
| anonusr | gives recent system information | 16:30 |
| lartza_ | Is there way to remotely connect to windows and use it like normally | 16:30 |
| shane2peru | errr, I need a good web editor!!! wysiwyg, I always use Kompozer, and now I can't paste into it!!! | 16:30 |
| alindeman | Have there been any software updates since Hardy has been released? | 16:30 |
| anonusr | lartza_: vnc | 16:30 |
| shally87 | nibsa: do i have to reboot? | 16:31 |
| lartza_ | And that other person ould be on there normally? :P | 16:31 |
| nibsa1242b | shally87: you shouldn't have to | 16:31 |
| mbarlow310 | rodolfo: you can always do a: man dmesg in a shell | 16:31 |
| Wyzard | lartza_: There's a package called "rdesktop" which lets you connect to any Windows machine that has Remote Desktop enabled | 16:31 |
| mbarlow310 | (manual) | 16:31 |
| rodolfo | anonusr, even after the system has been through some weird behavior? | 16:31 |
| Assid | vnc servers are just to bandwith hungry i think | 16:31 |
| lartza_ | Wyzard: But can other person use computer same time? | 16:31 |
| Wyzard | VNC is inefficient | 16:31 |
| lartza_ | In anyway? | 16:31 |
| nibsa1242b | shally87: I think we have a language barrier. You may want to try finding support in your native language. | 16:31 |
| shally87 | nibsa: then what to do next? sudo wont open.. i tried run app sudo but not working | 16:31 |
| Wyzard | lartza_: depends on what version of Windows it is | 16:31 |
| anonusr | rodolfo, it then might be better to look at /var/log/syslog | 16:31 |
| Assid | rdp /TS on the other hand seem to be a whole lot more better.. where compression and refresh rates are concerned | 16:31 |
| shane2peru | anyone know of another wysiwyg html page maker besides kompozer? | 16:31 |
| lartza_ | Windows XP SP2 | 16:32 |
| Assid | shane2peru: dreamweaver on wine :P | 16:32 |
| Wyzard | lartza_: Windows XP with Remote Desktop only lets one person use it at a time -- if someone logs in with Remote Desktop, the person in front of the computer gets kicked back to the Welcome screen | 16:32 |
| shally87 | nibsa: i can understand english.. | 16:32 |

| zaturno | how i get install automix for ubuntu 8.04??? | 16:32 |
| mbarlow310 | quadro nvs 140m, anyone get working in hardy? | 16:32 |
| alindeman | Have there been any software updates since Hardy has been released? | 16:32 |
| lartza_ | Wyzard: :( | 16:32 |
| Wyzard | lartza_: Server versions of Windows, using Terminal Services, can have several active users at a time | 16:32 |
| shane2peru | Assid, no, I don't do wine unless necessary. :) and dreamweaver $$$ right? | 16:32 |
| rodolfo | anonusr, yeah but what command starts reporting the system to generate this syslog (or is it automatic?)? | 16:32 |
| Assid | shane2peru: yes | 16:32 |
| Wyzard | lartza_: but if it's an XP box you're connecting to, that's a Windows limitation that you can't work around with Ubuntu software | 16:32 |
| zaturno | how i get install automix for ubuntu 8.04??? | 16:33 |
| alindeman | `aptitude upgrade` hasn't let me know of anything I need to do since Hardy was released .. just wondering if there is some moratorium on software updates for a bit | 16:33 |
| anonusr | rodolfo, reporting to syslog is automatic, though there are ways to increase or decrease the logging level. | 16:33 |
| Stroganoff | zaturno automatix is no longer supported | 16:33 |
| nibsa1242b | lartza_: yes and no; you can sort of set up a windows box to serve you the application; however, you still end up running the application in Wine or through an emulator I believe so it doesn't help much. | 16:33 |
| Assid | shane2peru: but then its one of the best wysiwyg IMHO | 16:33 |
| LjL | Stroganoff: well, strictly speaking, it was never supported (here) | 16:33 |
| noobuntu | Anyone familiar with installing oracle 11g on kubuntu? | 16:33 |

| lartza_ | I would want tor un it remotely on other comp CPU and maybe without wine | 16:33 |

| lartza_ | You have any preformance tips for wine? | 16:34 |
| shane2peru | Assid, I just get frustrated when Kompozer doesn't behave right, and do what it is supposed to! | 16:34 |
| shally87 | nibsa: sorry suppose nibsa..i found itś fun formatting to linux..so need to explore more.. | 16:35 |
| shally87 | nibsa: thanks..bye | 16:35 |
| jcwinnie | AppArmor help | 16:35 |
| nibsa1242b | lartza_: I'm not sure if you can run it like that... Other then making sure wine is the newest version and running everything else on the computer as lightly as possible no, no tips. | 16:35 |
| lartza_ | I noticed maple didn't install | 16:35 |
| anonusr | rodolfo: what do you need the detail for? Different parts of the system are controlled seperately (I think; it's true for network logging) | 16:35 |

| rodolfo | anonusr, I'm reporting a bug related to Ubuntu installer. after step three, the system crashes, restarts and relogs, but the installation process won't continue at all. that happens with U8.04 Live CD. I've tried everything and I'm out of ideasto get around this issue | 16:37 |
| nibsa1242b | lartza_: other people reported it as not installing correctly as well; if you need to run Windows only closed source software the best bet is to run it on windows | 16:37 |
| shane2peru | Wyzard, web page design, layout, 'what you see is what you get' wysiwyg | 16:37 |

| Assid | ferronica: could be a bad batch of cdrw.. or your burner might have an issue | 16:57 |

| dano- | I upgraded to Hardy a few days ago, and resuming from suspend and hibernation has stopped working properly. It was fine in Gutsy, but now resuming causes my X session to crash and restart. I'm using the intel driver. Anyone have an idea of what's going on? | 16:58 |
| Stev1 | do you have another machine to try the burn on? | 16:58 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Can Hardy be rolled back to Gutsy through apt? Or will I have to clean install? | 16:58 |

| Stev1 | both give you the same error? | 16:59 |
| shane2peru | Assid, ahh, sticking with Kompozer, it is a nice visual of what you are building, Screem looks great for editing html coding. You should give Kompozer a try, it is in the repos, I'm sure it doesn't have all the high tech features of DW, but it is a nice program. | 16:59 |

| laeg | Iago1989: why do i need to restart? | 17:05 |

| ferronica | Stev1: What | 17:05 |
| kaffien | laeg do you notice ground textures are a bit screwy ? | 17:05 |
| Prez00 | BHSPitMonkey: ok, means I will wait a bit longer to upgrade... seen some serious bugs in this channel and launchpad.. | 17:05 |

| Stev1 | well, you get to keep your current version of windows too, and right.. don't need to boot ubuntu from CD | 17:06 |
| BHSPitMonkey | ferronica, no need to boot from CD, correct. You reboot the computer and see a menu, with Ubuntu or Windows. | 17:07 |
| Stev1 | but i think you'll still need to make a cd | 17:07 |
| ferronica | Stev1: ya | 17:07 |
| lartza_ | How could I change my window manager permanently? | 17:07 |
| Stev1 | ferronica.. your problem is that you cannot make an CD's or DVD's, right?? | 17:07 |

| ferronica | Stev1: no ubuntu | 17:08 |
| dano- | lartza_: I thought then when you boot up you can choose one, and once you choose something it sticks | 17:08 |
| ferronica | Stev1: i love ubuntu | 17:08 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Prez00, add frequent crashes and bugs to that and I just can't use it any more. Gutsy was by far the most stable and mature version so far. | 17:08 |
| dano- | thought that* | 17:08 |
| Stev1 | no, I think you can boot into safe mode with UBUNTU jaran | 17:08 |
| lartza_ | dano: Window manager only | 17:08 |
| lartza_ | dano: Not whole gnome | 17:08 |
| Stev1 | jaran, boot into safe mode and fix that with ubuntu | 17:09 |

| maap_rj | the problem is copy file with accents and ç | 17:38 |
| angasule | maap_rj: well, don't use letters other than ASCII in filenames? :) | 17:38 |
| KlrSpz | maap_rj: well you want to run a chkdsk to map faulty blocks, and use defrag to move them | 17:38 |

| conb123 | KlrSpz: well in 8.04 i try to enable compiz and it asks me to enable the restricted driver | 17:38 |

| Matic`Makovec | Hello there. I remember Gutsy Gibbon having an awesome application for handing .bin files (it practically mounted it, but it was great). Now after I upgraded to Hardy I don't have it anymore and so I'm woundering what would that kind of thing be called? | 18:29 |
| FuriousJorje | RCX: you said that you are changing the port on the server side, i assumed the server was a linux server... you said remote desktop protocol so i assumed you meant the windows RDP | 18:29 |
| _DeeJay_ | eine frage hätte ich noch...(k)ubuntu kann ja jetzt schon bei der installation die festplatte verschlüsseln, habe ich gelesen...das geht nur mit der alternate cd, oder? | 18:29 |

| _DeeJay_ | sorry, wrong chann ;) | 18:29 |
| lethalamby | MIKE_55, thats a different thing. U need to mask your IP for that. and ya, pretty much depends on what you have in mind. | 18:29 |

| choongii | hello. ever since I've upgraded to hardy, my keyboard's multimedia keys have stopped responding. if I try to bind a key in the Keyboard Shortcuts window, pressing a multimedia key doesnt register. anyone familiar with this problem? | 18:33 |
| choongii | the rest of the keyboard works fine- it's just the multimedia keys | 18:34 |
| bazhang | Professor_K: well that should do it if your nic shows up in ifconfig and is named eth0 ;] | 18:34 |
| Mimi | bazhang: Yeah, but I need it setup for ALL file types that would usually open with gedit :/ It would take forever to make them all open with geany instead | 18:34 |
| FuriousGeorge | so i did a little investigation regarding my motherboard that wont boot the lived. it hangs after 'Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting linux kernel." and when it says in the splash screen "Mounting root file system" | 18:34 |
| dustrial | hi all, while loading snd module i get that response http://pastebin.com/d41806ff7 | 18:35 |
| lethalamby | Professor_K, and that NIC is connected to the internet | 18:35 |
| MilitantPotato | !mediakeys | 18:35 |
| ubot5 | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 18:35 |
| MilitantPotato | choongii: try that link :) | 18:35 |
| bazhang | mimi what about right click properties open with and then set it there | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FuriousGeorge At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 18:35 |
| FuriousGeorge | i see that it is trying to mount root on /dev/ram and when i disabled the splash and got to the shell i saw there was no /dev/ram only dev/ram0 through /dev/ram15 | 18:35 |
| choongii | !mediakeys | 18:35 |

| FuriousGeorge | an old ipcop bootcd will work, btw | 18:35 |
| Iago1989 | Does anybody even know how to change brightness using the terminal or anything? I just want to it ONCE | 18:35 |
| Iago1989 | make it fully bright | 18:35 |
| FuriousGeorge | ive tried options like noapic nolapic and noacpi | 18:36 |
| Peter_Hoffmann | Hy everybody. I'm experience a strange behaviour: I see _all_ of my mountes, even the ones not mounted at /media/ - andybody a solving idea? | 18:36 |
| bazhang | Iago1989: there was someone here earlier with the same issue trying to remember what the fix was | 18:36 |
| jaran | arvind_khadri: used "sudo adduser "name", from ubuntu documentation. But what group do i need to sign the new user into? root? | 18:36 |
| DigitalOktay | Jack_Sparrow: Hey thx it works, i install nvidia-settings, then i change the x server resolution, then restart x it works, thank you | 18:36 |
| sc006 | maybe bad cd | 18:36 |
| Professor_K | bazhang: don't insult me please, I have no clue what ifconfig is :S | 18:36 |
| Iago1989 | bazhang: I was here earlier with the issue :-P | 18:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 18:36 |
| arvind_khadri | jaran, admin | 18:36 |
| Mimi | bazhang: yeah thats the thing, but there's SO many (programing files, txt files, INSTALL, README, etc etc etc) to set them up for. It would take forever. Should I just make a symlink from gedit to geany? Would that work? | 18:36 |
| lartza_ | Ha anyone got MpleStory working? With cedega or wine? | 18:36 |
| Iago1989 | there's a "fix" called DisplayCalibrator | 18:36 |
| engywook | Any idea why my usb mouse hangs randomly? I've tried setting apci=force as a boot option | 18:37 |
| Iago1989 | but it doesn't really work | 18:37 |
| Iago1989 | it only gives gamma correction | 18:37 |
| bazhang | Professor_K: sorry; no mean to do that--open a terminal (when you are on the Mac) and type ifconfig | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FuriousGeorge Some machines only work with the cd if it has been burned very slow 4x etc... | 18:38 |
| bazhang | mimi all text files (ending in .txt) will then open with that when you set it | 18:38 |
| linkslice | I've got a client that needs to install some not OSS software that is available in RPM format only, I know I can just install rpm, but is there some sort of rpm-apt package so that rpm is aware of software installed with apt (to prevent libs from being overwritten and broken) | 18:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FuriousGeorge even if it self tests fine. it can make a difference | 18:38 |
| bazhang | mimi when you set it for the one | 18:38 |
| Professor_K | bazhang: ok I will do that | 18:38 |
| FuriousGeorge | Jack_Sparrow: the memtest worked out, but the cd test locks at the same point | 18:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | linkslice you can use alien.. but it can be dangerous, much better to compile it yourself from source | 18:38 |

| rama_su | assid: doesn't look like it opens .rar though does it | 18:51 |
| david_-_- | Assid: where do i find that at | 18:51 |
| Assid | david_-_-: do you see java mentioned in there? | 18:51 |
| lartza_ | Si vmware and virtualbox same by how they work? How much they use cpu and disk space? | 18:51 |
| bazhang | zniavre: is there a support question with that? if not please dont post it here thanks | 18:51 |
| skarface | !rar | rama_su | 18:51 |
| ubot5 | rama_su: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 18:51 |
| h4L1m | hey guys, i need ya help, are there any programs for ubuntu what can edit the registry of windows, please help me i need it for school | 18:51 |
| david_-_- | Assid: where do i find the about plugins | 18:51 |
| bazhang | lartza_: vmware is a bit faster, vbox is lighter | 18:51 |
| Assid | david_-_-: put it in the url | 18:52 |
| xircx | rama download "Wine" then download winrar and use it to open your .rar files ') | 18:52 |
| xircx | ;)* | 18:52 |
| skarface | rama_su: archive manager can act as a front end for just about every format | 18:52 |
| eternal_p | h4L1m: what you said made no sense | 18:52 |
| rama_su | skarface: thanks skarface lots of people in here today | 18:52 |
| Assid | bazhang: i thought the newer versions of each were on par | 18:52 |
| h4L1m | eternal_p, why? | 18:52 |
| bazhang | h4L1m: that seems unlikely in the extreme | 18:52 |
| AdrianStrays | skarface, I've looked at that. Perhaps I need to enable wins support? | 18:52 |
| Mimi | QUESTION: is there a particular file where Gnome/Ubuntu keeps list of what programs open what file types/extentions? | 18:52 |
| skarface | rama_su: only 1518 ;) | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xircx that is a long way around to do something simple | 18:52 |
| eternal_p | h4L1m: you want to use ubuntu to edit a windows registry | 18:52 |
| jason_ | i can't get this hard drive to show up in windows but it works fine in ubuntu, i used the partition edidtor in ubnutu to format it to ntfs but still no go in windows any idea's would be greatly appreciated? | 18:52 |
| rama_su | hehe | 18:52 |
| xircx | it is but its the only way i could get ubuntu to extract rar files | 18:52 |
| bazhang | h4L1m: best to ask that in ##windows | 18:52 |
| xircx | and it waz not that bad | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mimi there are settings for a few prefered applications in the pull down menus | 18:53 |
| lartza_ | bazhang. faster and lighter = same things? | 18:53 |
| bazhang | assid not sure have not tried both since hardy | 18:53 |
| h4L1m | look i'm a ububuntu user, but now i'm asking for a program that can edit the windows registry | 18:53 |
| Assid | bazhang: hardy is pretty shiny new | 18:53 |
| bazhang | lartza_: lighter in terms of ram and cpu cycles | 18:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xircx unrar-nonfree works like a charm | 18:53 |
| Mimi | Jack_Sparrow: I know, but I want to change all files that would open with gedit to open with geany instead. If I do it the way you say it will take forever. Im sure Gnome keeps a record somewhere | 18:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | '!unrar-nonfree | 18:53 |
| AdrianStrays | skarface, I've looked at that. Perhaps I need to enable wins support? | 18:53 |
| xircx | couldnt get unrar to install from the terminal | 18:54 |
| lartza_ | bazhang: and faster in terms? | 18:54 |

| Assid | david_-_-: pastebin.ca | 18:54 |
| skarface | AdrianStrays: did you find a line that said "workgroup = ...."? | 18:54 |
| Mimi | Jack_Sparrow: no file editor on there, sadly :( | 18:54 |
| Assid | david_-_-: do you see java there | 18:54 |
| Brent^ | Win XP can run on like 150 mhz | 18:54 |
| bazhang | lartza_: most definitely yes | 18:54 |
| xircx | xp would run on a 866mhz but it would be realy realy slow | 18:54 |
| AdrianStrays | skarface, yep, I edited it and saved, yet I still am not showing anything under windows networks | 18:55 |
| david_-_- | Assid: http://pastebin.ca/1001982 | 18:55 |
| skarface | AdrianStrays: you have to restart samba. sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 18:55 |
| lartza_ | It would be on virtaulbox so it would cost some more cpu | 18:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mimi I found a howto on the web for setting a default editor... look around.. | 18:55 |
| korte | hhhhh | 18:55 |

| RichW | mimick: Give us information on your hardware.. I would be interested in this problem. Also check if your computer is running hot. | 18:59 |
| mimick | moveax, no it doesn't | 18:59 |

| Fritzel | mimick, locking up hard or does the mouse move still? | 18:59 |
| moveax | mimick: that is odd | 18:59 |

| FD_F | bazhang: i have 4 - eth0, eth1, lo, wmaster0 | 19:00 |
| rrittenhouse | Is it something to do with Seahorse | 19:00 |
| AdrianStray1 | skarface, yes but its help isn't helpful in regards to Hardy, as things are slightly different. | 19:00 |
| wolfbone | I'm trying out compiz-fusion ATM and I don't run a DE, so now I have no fluxbox-like root window menus, taskbar, dock etc. Does anyone know [where I can find out about] what gadgetry is available? | 19:00 |

| FD_F | bazhang: yes hardy , its return wmaster0 unknown hardware | 19:02 |
| ThatsNotJack | blegh.. Kacpid and Kacpid_notify are eating up 90% of my cpu on hardy. I reniced, but I can't seem to kill the processes... any ideas? | 19:02 |
| OllieA | simplynam: Lol, cool | 19:02 |
| bazhang | _lando_: lshw? | 19:02 |
| katakaio | simplynam: you may be able to fix that by editing your menu.lst file | 19:02 |
| OllieA | simplynam: You know what to do? | 19:02 |
| Fritzel | _lando_, cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you some stuff too | 19:02 |
| simplynam | olliea | 19:02 |
| _lando_ | thanks ! | 19:03 |
| ikonia | FD_F: wmmaster0 is "interface" to the card, not the card | 19:03 |

| the|Navigator | Wow, the 8.04LTS update is slow... ~30kB/s when i normally get 500+ | 19:04 |
| bazhang | FD_F: there is a bug with that card (I have the same card as well) and an upstream fix is in the works | 19:04 |
| skarface | arooni-mobile: wrong channel | 19:04 |
| arooni-mobile | skarface, stil linux ;p | 19:04 |
| FD_F | bazhang: how can i install upstream ? | 19:04 |
| ikonia | bazhang: which card is it ? | 19:04 |
| katakaio | OllieA: I guess I'd have the same recommendation - you can check your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to see if the splash is disabled | 19:04 |
| Brent^ | I have a Broadcom BCM4306 and so far from some guides I've found I managed to get it to show the wireless networks around me. However I have yet yo be able to CONNECT to any of them. Is there something I'm missing or that I have to do? | 19:04 |

| AdrianStray1 | skarface, during the part it asks you to set up your network settings, it says go to the network general tab and set up windows networking. In hardy there is no part about windows networking under this tab. It also says I could go to shared folders, but this option is none existent as well. | 19:11 |
| katakaio | ikonia: Right, but one from another Hardy PPC user would work, I believe | 19:11 |

| nathan42100 | after I upgraded to 8.04 its been one thing I had to fix after another, which is a pain because i'm not an expert user. First, the login screen virtual resolution got really screwed up. Second, firefox didn't know what to open txt files with and it took me 30 minutes to find the gedit binary. Third firefox crashes ever 15 minutes (about, depending on how often i open a gmail window). Fourth, i was told that the flash always | 19:38 |
| nathan42100 | on top but in firefox would be fixed in ff3 and 8.04. still no fix. Now I can't mount a partition the same way I used to, with mount options mounting it to a specific place. Can anyone help me with my last problem? | 19:38 |
| exebat | nathan42100, worked with linux a long time? | 19:38 |

| ikonia | Mattevt: thats nothing like what I told you to do | 19:39 |
| exebat | ikonia, Paraniod permissions in a file called security that is suppose to be in /etc/sysconfig/security but i cant find it | 19:39 |

| balle_ | just tried to install my nvidia drivers via envy, it did not work sadly, ubuntu will still not detect my card. but now i have the nvidia conf. in my administration menu, does anyone know if this makes me any closer to actually installing the card or should i just go with the non-proprietary software? | 19:40 |

| ubot5 | balle_: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 19:40 |

| immesys_ | hey guys, I'm borrowing a laptop from a friend of mine and I know its got ATI graphics but I don't know exactly what kind. How do I tell what I got? | 19:41 |
| Flannel | mrichman: The desktop is a liveCD, and uses Ubiquity installer to install, Alternate CD is text-only and provides more options for installation. They both can install the desktop system (and an identical one at that) | 19:41 |
| ikonia | ygor: thats nothing to do with ubuntu | 19:41 |
| faemir | IndyGunFreak: I can't find import, only export. | 19:41 |
| Brent^ | kesi: like 3 times now, but it hasn't been showing that box in that hardware screen till now | 19:41 |
| mrichman | Flannel: Should I just download the DVD image then? | 19:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | faemir: hm, ok.. sorry, i'm all out of ideas then.. i've not ever tried to find a windows prog. to do that. | 19:41 |
| Brent^ | so maybe it'll work this time | 19:41 |
| faemir | IndyGunFreak: ok, thanks anyway. | 19:41 |
| exebat | ikonia, there is suppose to be 3 security levels in linux easy, secure and paraniod, that effexts all users and the hole system, | 19:41 |
| ozzloy | why can't i take a screen shot of totem? | 19:41 |
| kesi | Brent^, well if you just checked it, and installed the hardware, reboot and see if you can connect. | 19:41 |
| ikonia | exebat: thats selinux normally | 19:41 |
| eternal_p | ikonia: I don't think ubuntu supports selinux | 19:42 |
| ikonia | eternal_p: I know it doesn't | 19:42 |
| balle_ | ikonia: in other words... no, well this has been the last i will deal with the proprietary software then, can anyone reccomend the non-proprietary software then | 19:42 |
| cgentry72 | is there a way to make an image cd of my ubuntu system. i've heard of something like makelivecd? | 19:42 |
| Flannel | faemir: packages.ubuntu.com will allow you to search just like in Synaptic (well, a little bit more simplified), searching "pdf" in descriptions, I've found half a dozen things that claim/sound like they can edit, it'd just be a matter of picking one that you want to try first. Let me know if you need actual package names if you can't find them | 19:42 |
| nathan42100 | anyone? | 19:42 |
| ikonia | balle_: what ???? | 19:42 |
| kesi | Brent^, are the networks WPA or WEP? Can you connect to non-encrypted ones/ | 19:42 |
| faemir | Flannel: it's not for ubuntu though | 19:42 |
| nathan42100 | ikonia, I can't mount a partition the way I used to like in 7.10 with the mount options in properties. now it doesn't mount the same way and I can't change it because the mount options tab in properties has disappeared. anyone know where it went? | 19:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | balle_: what are you talking about? | 19:42 |
| Flannel | mrichman: DVD is Alternate + Desktop + Additional packages in the disc repository (expanded Alternate CD). You don't need the DVD if all you want is to install Ubuntu. | 19:42 |
| faemir | I just thought that there are the most amount of active helpful people in here than the others channels I'm in, so I asked here. | 19:42 |
| ikonia | nathan42100: ask the channel, people will help when they can, rather than ask a random individual | 19:42 |
| Brent^ | kesi: unencrypted | 19:43 |
| faemir | Or is that against the rules? :P | 19:43 |
| exebat | ikonia, maybe it is suse and redhat specifik files? | 19:43 |
| rama_su | anyone know of a good font back for ubuntu? | 19:43 |

| balle_ | indygunfreak: well, i am asking if the non-proprietary drivers for nvidia is any good, though it was very badly phrased | 19:43 |
| faemir | Flannel: but this applies to all linux distros, so it's not offtopic. | 19:43 |
| exebat | ikonia, Okey thx mate | 19:43 |
| ikonia | nathan42100: people will reply if they can help, they won't tell you they can't help | 19:43 |
| kesi | Brent^, have you tried another network? | 19:43 |
| faemir | Just because it's not specific only to ubuntu doesn't make it offtopic afaik. | 19:43 |
| nathan42100 | I can't mount a partition the way I used to like in 7.10 with the mount options in properties. now it doesn't mount the same way and I can't change it because the mount options tab in properties has disappeared. anyone know where it went? | 19:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | balle_: i'm not really sure, i jus use the one in restricted driver, it works fine. | 19:43 |
| ckin2001 | exebat - look at apparmor, i think | 19:44 |

| Brent^ | kesi: there are no other networks in this area | 19:44 |
| Flannel | faemir: #ubuntu is for ubuntu support related issues only, not general linux ones, or even discussions 'about' ubuntu | 19:44 |
| ikonia | NemesisD: bulletproof x ? | 19:44 |
| Flannel | Assid: DVD has debian installer and ubiquity available, so yes. | 19:44 |
| Brent^ | kesi: nope reboot didn't work | 19:44 |
| balle_ | IndyGunFrak: well okay, i feel like i have tried everything on the restricted ones, and almost decided to give up, i have tried making it work for weeks now | 19:44 |
| kesi | Brent^, well in order to rule out another problem, you might want to go somewhere that there is. Can you reboot the wireless router that you are trying to connect to? | 19:44 |
| Assid | hrmm k | 19:45 |
| cgentry72 | is there a way to make an image cd of my ubuntu system. i've heard of something like makelivecd? | 19:45 |
| Mattevt | OK, rad...I uninstalled 3 beta 5...tried installing 2, now I have neither. My ineptness is funny even to me, so I don't mind if you laugh. I'm brand new to linux as of yesterday, just thought I'd give it a try. | 19:45 |
| eTiger13_ | how do i add myself to a group from a command line? | 19:45 |
| engywook | balle_: what card have you got? | 19:45 |
| BuriedDreams | How can I completely hide toolbars so that there isn't that annoying strip of it showing, I know how to set it to autohide that's not what I'm looking for... and if possible, how to change it's response rate. | 19:45 |
| k20a | where i do select which monitor i am using on hardy? | 19:45 |
| ikonia | Mattevt: how did you install 2 | 19:45 |
| exebat | ckin2001, yeah i am studing Linux/opensource in unuversity but we use suse in school and i like ubuntu more i guess i havet to do this in schoo, then :D | 19:45 |
| Flannel | Assid: but, 4G vs 700M is quite a bit of overhead if all you're trying to do is install. Grab the alternate CD instead | 19:45 |
| balle_ | engywook: nvidia 6600 go | 19:45 |
| facundo_ | hi | 19:45 |
| facundo_ | does anyone knows a nice and *simple* video editor for Ubuntu? | 19:45 |
| Assid | Flannel: gotta distrib them .. so its alrite.. people dont like text installers anymore | 19:46 |
| engywook | balle_: 7.10? | 19:46 |
| Assid | Flannel: and i need them to try it | 19:46 |
| Brent^ | kesi: it isn't the router, I'm connected with a different computer to that router right now and it works fine. I tried connecting to another network that's across the street but that didn't work either | 19:46 |
| jbroome__ | facundo_: what have you tried that you didn't like? | 19:46 |
| balle_ | engywook: no 8.10 | 19:46 |
| Mattevt | package manager --> clicked on firefox-2 marked for install...clicked apply. | 19:46 |
| ikonia | Mattevt: perfect | 19:46 |
| faemir | Flannel: and what if I didn't get a reply in #ubuntu-offtopic? | 19:46 |
| nathan42100 | i can't believe that NO ONE can answer my question. its not like its hard | 19:46 |
| Flannel | Assid: You can't do RAID in ubiquity, even on the DVD. You'll need to go text for that, whehter on the DVD or the alternate CD | 19:46 |
| ikonia | Mattevt: so if you launch the firefox now, what happens | 19:46 |
| balle_ | engywook: didn't work in 7.10 either or 6.60 | 19:46 |
| engywook | balle_: did you install envyng or whatever it was called? | 19:46 |
| k20a | since upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 now i can't find where i select which monitor i am using | 19:46 |
| ikonia | nathan42100: your attitude is not helping people respond | 19:47 |
| dubby | hey anyone I have a thing set up to tell me if something i am running has found vulnerability, and anyway i was reading http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/28770 about libpng, and that the newest on the site is not vulnerable, but on the site i downloaded their package, made it alien, and it installed a libpng3 when the one used by ubuntu is a libpng12-0 | 19:47 |
| eTiger13_ | how do i add myself to a group from a command line? | 19:47 |
| Flannel | faemir: You should ask elsewhere. But, I know for a fact you haven't asked in -offtopic | 19:47 |
| zionpsyfer | BuriedDreams: You may have a better chance of getting an answer if you include the name of the program in your question. Openoffice toolbars are different from those in kde and gnome. | 19:47 |
| balle_ | engywook: yep, did not work either | 19:47 |
| facundo_ | jbroome_: i just need to add some bars, to hide my personal data from a video recorded with gtk-record-my-desktop | 19:47 |
| faemir | Flannel: I never said I had. | 19:47 |
| === niketas_ is now known as niketas | ||
| IndyGunFreak | k20a: what graphics device? | 19:47 |
| balle_ | engywook: i have tried manually installing everything, nothing works.. | 19:47 |
| jbroome__ | nathan42100: if it's so easy, then find the answer yourself | 19:47 |
| Anza | hi, one question, do you know why this appears like that? the "(invalid encoging)" thing, i uploaded and screenshot in here that way anyone could see: http://www.zshare.net/image/11275530d4724989/ | 19:47 |
| ikonia | dubby: what is the point of what your posting | 19:47 |
| kesi | Brent^, I would still recommend rebooting the router if you have access. Have you tried connecting to the other network since installing the B43 driver? | 19:47 |
| engywook | balle_: what does lspci|grep VGA say? | 19:47 |
| nathan42100 | i'm just gunna leave before I become too much of an a**hole | 19:47 |
| Mattevt | before hand I had clicked firefox-3 marked for uninstall clicked apply and it uninstalled 3 things. When I open firefox I get this: ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file! | 19:47 |
| faemir | Flannel: I think that perhaps the rules should be changed in any case, but thanks for the info | 19:47 |
| cgentry72 | i want to make a livecd/backup of my ubuntu system. is that possible? | 19:47 |
| Flannel | faemir: Just because you don't get an answer somewhere else, doesn't give you the right to disturb arbitrary channels | 19:47 |
| Brent^ | kesi: just tried both of those, neither worked | 19:47 |
| balle_ | engywook: well, a bit since i've looked in it i will pastebin it for you if you want | 19:48 |
| k20a | cgentry use remastery | 19:48 |
| scrambledegg | chaos in here xD | 19:48 |
| ikonia | scrambledegg: stick with it | 19:48 |
| mrichman | Anyone here using Netgear WG111v2 on 8.04 ?? | 19:48 |
| cgentry72 | k20a, thanks | 19:48 |
| engywook | balle_: the line I wrote should only be one line | 19:48 |
| k20a | indy: i am trying to select my monitor | 19:48 |
| ikonia | mrichman: instead of that - why not just tell us YOUR problem | 19:48 |
| facundo_ | i tried Avidemux and Kino, but didn't worked for this task | 19:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | cgentry72: it is, try google.. | 19:48 |
| engywook | balle_: it will filter the other stuff out | 19:48 |
| mrichman | ikonia: Just wanted to see if it works yet? I've had to resort to Fedora | 19:48 |
| kesi | Brent^, Don't know what to tell you then... you could try setting a static IP to see if it's a DHCP problem | 19:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | k20a: if you're not gonna say my whole name, don't bother typing indy | 19:48 |
| ata4ix | ikonia, no ideas about vsftpd? | 19:48 |
| balle_ | engywook: lspci then what sry? | 19:49 |
| k20a | oh k | 19:49 |
| ikonia | ata4ix: not at the moment | 19:49 |
| engywook | lspci | grep VGA | 19:49 |
| ikonia | ata4ix: the mask /should/ work | 19:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | k20a: so you have two monitors, correct? | 19:49 |
| BuriedDreams | How can I completely hide the gnome desktop toolbars so that there isn't that annoying strip of it showing, I know how to set it to autohide that's not what I'm looking for... and if possible, how to change it's response rate. | 19:49 |
| Flannel | Assid: At least, I believe Ubiquity can't still do RAID and other things like that (LVM for instance). I may be wrong as of Hardy, as I haven't completely updated my mind yet. | 19:49 |
| k20a | indygunfreak: no i just have one and now all i see on hardy is autodetect for the monitor | 19:49 |
| balle_ | engywook: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6600] (rev a2) | 19:49 |
| Mattevt | right now I don't have a working internet browser | 19:49 |
| ikonia | Mattevt: well done | 19:49 |
| k20a | indygunfreak: and the autodetect does nothing..i am looking for where i can manual select which monitor | 19:49 |
| engywook | balle_: okay, then I don't know, guess you'll have to google it | 19:49 |
| achandrashekar | curious to know if anyone has played around with ubuntu-mobile. Specifically what type of hardware will it load on? | 19:50 |
| scrambledegg | BuriedDreams: right click on it, and click remove ?? | 19:50 |
| ikonia | achandrashekar: not really out yet | 19:50 |
| KRF | k20a, indy<tab> | 19:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | k20a: if you only have 1 monitor, there's not much to select | 19:50 |
| Beererde | hi. i updated to version 8, and now /boot/grub/menu.lst ist gone!?!? the whole grub directory is missing!? | 19:50 |
| balle_ | engywook: aight, thx anyway | 19:50 |
| achandrashekar | ikonia: i see...i just saw it on the website..and was curious about hardware support.. | 19:50 |
| BuriedDreams | scrambledegg: Nah, I want it to autohide completely | 19:50 |
| david_-_- | is there a #game or world of warcraft channel? | 19:50 |
| engywook | need to reboot again, damn usbmouse. | 19:50 |
| ikonia | Beererde: ls -al /boot doesn't exist ? | 19:50 |
| brebs | Beererde: mount /boot ? | 19:50 |
| Mattevt | Ok, thank you...I guess. is there a terminal line that will just get 3 beta 5 back on my computer? | 19:50 |
| scrambledegg | BuriedDreams: file a bug report then | 19:50 |
| Flannel | david_-_-: #winehq may be able to help | 19:50 |
| k20a | before on 7.10 i could manual select which monitor it is that i am using now it doesn't | 19:50 |
| ata4ix | ikonia, anyway 10x! | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ata4ix: sorry | 19:51 |
| Beererde | ikonia: brebs: /boot does exist. but no subdir grub | 19:51 |
| soundray | BuriedDreams: have a look at the extra settings you can make under /apps/panel in gconf-editor | 19:51 |
| MrBill | How do I search for wireless networks around me? I have the driver for my wireless card installed, but I'm not sure how to get online from this point. | 19:51 |
| facundo_ | jbroome__ : i tried Avidemux and Kino, but didn't worked for this task | 19:51 |
| ikonia | Beererde: how did you boot your system then | 19:51 |
| BuriedDreams | soundray: thanks | 19:51 |
| Beererde | ikonia: i don't know!? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | Beererde: is /boot a seperate partition ? | 19:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | engywook no need to reboot to get the mouse back | 19:51 |
| soundray | BuriedDreams: specifically "panel-minimized-size" | 19:51 |
| Beererde | ikonia: the menu was as always | 19:51 |
| david_-_- | Flannel: thanks | 19:51 |
| brebs | Beererde: Run "mount /boot" | 19:51 |

| ikonia | Beererde: not mtab | 19:52 |
| brane_ | its 9 pm | 19:52 |
| Beererde | ikonia: i meant not in fstab | 19:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | facundo_: could you just delete the bars? | 19:52 |
| kesi | MrBill, there should be an icon near the clock that, when clicked on, lists the networks | 19:52 |
| achandrashekar | any ppc guys here?--the other channel is a bit thin, i need help with compiz on 8.04 install, with ATI card. | 19:52 |

| damaltor_ | hi everybody. i want to set up a new system for my girlfriend ("linux looks sooo nice. windows sucks. i want it, and i want to learn it."). i want to use kubuntu, but should i use KDE4 or better not? how about stability? | 19:52 |
| Mattevt | Whoa, nevermind...I have no idea why...but for some reason I open firefox and it's working. No bulls**t error lines or anything. thanks Ikonia and IndyGunFreak | 19:52 |
| ikonia | Beererde: ok, so what's in /boot | 19:52 |
| ikonia | Beererde: is the kernel images there | 19:52 |
| Beererde | ikonia: the kernel files and initrd | 19:53 |
| Beererde | ikonia: yes | 19:53 |
| shonen | ?xen | 19:53 |
| regis | hello, how do i remove the orphaned packages? | 19:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Mattevt: the joy of fixing somethign, when you have no clue what you done.. :) | 19:53 |
| adamsad1 | What's the command to change both my username and homename? | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | damaltor_ get a couple livecd's and try them out | 19:53 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a program I can use to generate an image from a sound file? Like, the wave form? | 19:53 |
| ikonia | Beererde: "sudo find / -name menu.lst -print 2>/dev/null" | 19:53 |
| achandrashekar | damaltor_: I did this for my fiance but used the standard gnome distro...the reason being..all the google how to's refer to it. | 19:53 |
| brane_ | i buy PC with Nvidia 8500GT only for Ubuntu !! | 19:53 |
| achandrashekar | dmaltor_: this way...it makes it "easier" to switch over. | 19:54 |
| soundray | RyanPrior: audacity displays envelope curves for sounds | 19:54 |
| Beererde | ikonia: /media/sda3/boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | whats the terminal command to add a new panel? | 19:54 |
| Beererde | ikonia: aaah thx, i think i got my mistake | 19:54 |
| RyanPrior | soundray: Can I get audacity to export that as a png or anything? | 19:54 |
| ikonia | brane_: this is a support channel only, if you want to chatter #ubuntu -offtopic is available | 19:54 |
| damaltor_ | Jack_Sparrow: how buggy is kde4? anything known? what are the advantages? achandrashekar: i wanted to use kde, because thats what she liked most ;) | 19:54 |
| Beererde | ikonia: i have an old 6.06 on my system which serves as boot part. | 19:54 |
| k20a | how do i manual select display? | 19:54 |
| soundray | RyanPrior: you can make a screenshot | 19:54 |
| Assid | damaltor_: i;d wait | 19:54 |
| balle_ | hey, can anyone in here recommend the open-source drivers for the nvidia 6600 go, becuase i have worked on the restricted drivers for weeks now and can't get it to work? | 19:54 |
| ikonia | Beererde: there you go, seperate boot parttiion | 19:54 |
| ikonia | balle_: there are the nvidia closed ones, or the open "nv" ones - thats it | 19:54 |
| Beererde | ikonia: yes.. but does not show up in mtab | 19:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | damaltor_ I suggust you stick with kubuntu basic until you get a feel for how this all works | 19:55 |
| ikonia | Beererde: no - it won't | 19:55 |
| damaltor_ | Assid: thanks, but why exactly? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | Beererde: it's not the /boot partition for your system and it's fstab - not mtab | 19:55 |
| MrBill | kesi - I only see an icon for my wired connection..... | 19:55 |
| brane_ | ok why my ECS KA3 MVP mobo wont boot with 8.04 and with 7.10 boot ?? | 19:55 |
| achandrashekar | damalto_r: I se...I cant think that it would be much different....the biggest thing is using the equivalent of network-manager to work right if you want "easy" wireless access/support. She is not willing to ifconfig anything. | 19:55 |
| Beererde | ikonia: i meant it also does not show up with "# mount " | 19:55 |
| kallej | Hi! I lost my NVidia driver in 8.04 how do I get it back? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | Beererde: because it's not mounted | 19:55 |
| eyeheartpi | hello...is there any way to make a speedlink sl6820 webcam work under ubuntu 8.04 | 19:55 |
| eyeheartpi | ? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | kallej: how did you lose it | 19:55 |
| Beererde | ikonia: i see... | 19:55 |
| Assid | damaltor_: still to brand new.. has issues if you ask me | 19:55 |
| Beererde | ikonia: yeah of course, only grub reads it.. ok thx ! | 19:55 |
| kesi | MrBill, if everything is installed correctly, both should be listed there. | 19:56 |
| cgentry72 | i can't find anything for creating a livecd for ubuntu :( | 19:56 |
| RyanPrior | soundray: Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not the sort of tool I need unfortunately. | 19:56 |
| achandrashekar | eyeheartpi: plug it in and check dmesg...what does it say? | 19:56 |
| balle_ | ikonia: the nouveau right? but has anyone had a good experience with? like that have worked and not the restricted ones? | 19:56 |
| ikonia | balle_: nouveau ??? no idea what you mean, the driver is called "nv" | 19:56 |
| NemesisD | anyone know why dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would just run through the keyboard section then exit? | 19:56 |
| soundray | RyanPrior: what kind of graphical representation do you need? | 19:56 |
| eyeheartpi | is there any way to make a speedlink sl6820 webcam work under ubuntu 8.04? | 19:56 |
| MrBill | kesi - what all is included in "everything" being installed correctly? I simply booted off the disc, it told me that there was a driver for my wireless card, and then from there I was hoping to get online, but it seems there is more that I need to install or configure? | 19:56 |
| balle_ | ikonia: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | 19:56 |
| damaltor_ | Jack_Sparrow: i use kubuntu by myself, but just for convinience. i know how it works and whats behind it, e.g. i have a console only debian server system set up by myself. i want to have an easy linux starter system, and i know kubuntu works fine and looks good, and is not too hard for starters. i just dont know if i ought to risk the new kde4 | 19:56 |
| kallej | ikonia: I finally managed to get in 8.04 after some tinkering. I shut down without restarting again. But now I restart and come in to low-res... | 19:57 |
| damaltor_ | Assid: well, thats what i thought too... ;) | 19:57 |
| regis | anyone...common it's easy...i read man apt-get but without sucess | 19:57 |
| kesi | MrBill, do you see any networks when you type 'iwlist scan' at the command prompt? | 19:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | damaltor_ that is up to you. I quit using kde years ago | 19:57 |
| ikonia | balle_: they are new, and according to the status, very buggy | 19:57 |
| eyeheartpi | anyone...i tried linux-projects but i could find only drivers for ubuntu 7.10 | 19:57 |
| achandrashekar | Jack_Sparrow: same here.. | 19:57 |
| kesi | Is anybody else having problems with themes in HH? I can't get mine to stick past a reboot | 19:57 |
| balle_ | ikonia: okay then, what is this nv you are talking about? | 19:57 |
| david_-_- | ikonia: now for some reason on any type of java video i have a big grey square with a play button even if its a picture how do i fix this? | 19:58 |
| damaltor_ | Jack_Sparrow: well, i used kde long time, now having it on one pc, a console system on server, and xfce on subnotebook. i still like kde though... ;) | 19:58 |
| ikonia | balle_: its the driver called "nv" in xorg, its an open driver, quite poor though, limited 3d abilities | 19:58 |
| eyeheartpi | anyone...do you know if there's any way to make a speedlink webcam work under ununtu 8.04? | 19:58 |
| pancho_ | pancho | 19:58 |
| ikonia | david_-_-: I told you, your using the 64bit version, it has issues | 19:58 |
| MrBill | kesi - wlan0 gives no scan results | 19:58 |
| balle_ | ikonia: well, it's better then none i guess, care to help me on how to enable it? | 19:59 |
| shonen | is there a good writeup somewhere on using the KVM with hardy? | 19:59 |
| * Assid makes a note - NO 64bit :( | 19:59 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | damaltor_ Feel free to use whatever you like, but please avoid taking polls in here. This is a support room. | 19:59 |
| Assid | that sucks | 19:59 |
| ikonia | balle_ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - select the driver "nv" | 19:59 |

| eyeheartpi | if anybody knows any other good resource to make a speedlink webcam work.. please tell me... | 19:59 |
| achandrashekar | anyone experiencing strange bootup sequences? If i plug in the power on my laptop it will occasionally kernel panic during the boot sequence or complain of ACPI issues. This only started happening afer upgrade to 8.04 | 19:59 |

| dubby | !info vino | 19:59 |

| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak Are you having a problem with kvm switch | 19:59 |
| damaltor_ | Jack_Sparrow: well, i didnt wnat a poll. i did want to know if there are known issues and if kde4 is as useful as it seems. thats not a poll. | 19:59 |
| brane_ | acpi=off | 19:59 |
| ikonia | kallej: no | 20:00 |
| amrik | achandrashekar: did you try booting with acpi=force or acpi=off? | 20:00 |
| === tobias_ is now known as tobisa | ||
| soundray | Assid: that includes Skype, Acrobat Reader and Flash | 20:00 |
| Assid | soundray: you got java and flash working? | 20:00 |
| === tobisa is now known as tobias | ||
| eyeheartpi | i tried a version there but i could get only a strage green image.. | 20:00 |
| kesi | MrBill, System>Administration>Hardware drivers? | 20:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: negative, i thought there was a factoid on kvm switches, i was wrong,s omeone else asked about them | 20:00 |
| Assid | soundray: and java ? | 20:00 |
| k20a | how do i select which display (monitor) i am using?? | 20:00 |
| achandrashekar | amrik: where how do i change this? | 20:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | damaltor_ it isnt a support question either.. discussions like that go to ubuntu-offtopic | 20:00 |
| ikonia | IndyGunFreak: there is - the databases are out of sync | 20:00 |
| eyeheartpi | come on people...doesnt anybody use that kind of webcam? | 20:00 |
| ikonia | IndyGunFreak: lots missing at the moment | 20:00 |
| ikonia | !attitude | eyeheartpi | 20:00 |
| ubot5 | eyeheartpi: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 20:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | ikonia: oh ok.. well at least i know i'm not crazy...lol | 20:00 |
| amrik | achandrashekar: I assume you have grub installed | 20:00 |
| soundray | Assid: java I haven't tried, but if I had to, I would use the slightly older Blackdown java 1.4 that's still in the repos | 20:00 |
| dupin | hi | 20:01 |
| amrik | To turn ACPI off edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and add ``acpi=off'' at the end of the kernel (you can also try acipi=force) | 20:01 |
| damaltor_ | Jack_Sparrow: i dont think so. but maybe, this discussion goes to offtopic right now... so lets just leave it now. | 20:01 |
| soundray | Assid: alternatively, I'd have a go at the 32bit plugin with nspluginwrapper | 20:01 |
| eyeheartpi | ok...thanks..i just kept on posting to be sure that you guys can see my problem too... i dont demand support..i;m just asking ... | 20:01 |
| amrik | achandrashekar: an even safer way would be to go to the grub menu and then hit 'e' to edit the grub line, and then manually add acpi=off/force just to test | 20:01 |
| Assid | soundray: some people say the 32bit plugin + wrapper for java doesnt really work too well | 20:01 |

| nico8481 | hello | 20:50 |
| soundray | Haz: can you put your .bashrc on a pastebin for me to see? | 20:50 |
| amenado | blankhead-> have ssh installed, then you can ssh to each other | 20:50 |
| blankhead | John_S: we can remotely connect to each others local network...like the ones in our house but we cant connect to one another from his house to mine | 20:50 |
| Haz | soundray: will do, one sec | 20:50 |
| John_S | manoff: hang on.... maybe someone can help you in the meantime. :) | 20:50 |
| manoff | perhaps this amd64 has some problems with wlan? | 20:50 |
| blankhead | amenado: okay so sudo apt-get install ssh and then what | 20:50 |
| manoff | ok | 20:50 |
| amenado | blankhead-> is you host ip address routable or the 192.168.x.x kind? | 20:51 |
| xomp | wlan on ubuntu = epic fail for me | 20:51 |
| orudie | which version should i install 7.10 or 8.04 ? | 20:51 |
| nico8481 | is there a way to tell evolution to build an address book from all the addresses that are in my mailbox (ppl who sent mail to me or to whom i sent mail)? | 20:51 |
| hwilde | xomp, what kind of card | 20:51 |
| blankhead | its like 192.168.0.1 | 20:51 |
| blankhead | its connected thru a gateway router | 20:51 |
| blankhead | and so is his | 20:51 |
| xomp | hwilde, it's a Compaq W200 Multiport adapter. It's technically a USB device | 20:51 |
| blankhead | so it ends up being 192.168.0.100 cuz of the router | 20:52 |
| amenado | blankhead-> make sure your gateway router on both ends forwards and nat your 192.168.x.x traffic | 20:52 |
| cvd-pr | Hey tango icons don have .torrent icons | 20:52 |
| hwilde | xomp, dude ever heard of mainstream | 20:52 |
| orudie | which ubuntu is better 7.10 or 8.04 ? | 20:52 |
| hwilde | !hardware | xomp | 20:52 |
| ubot5 | xomp: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 20:52 |
| nickthorley | can you opt for mozilla 2 in 8.04 or are you stuck with 3 | 20:52 |
| John_S | manoff: I think you're better off getting help from someone other than me, because it could be a 64 bit issue... | 20:52 |
| blankhead | amenado: okay ill port forward the ports i need so tell me how | 20:52 |
| xomp | hwilde, there's plenty of FALSE documentation stating a way to compile the orinoco driver to make it work for both Gutsy & Hardy, but it doesn't. I'm wanting to rectify that wiki doc once the database goes online. | 20:52 |
| manoff | what is the code name for the latest ubuntu? hardy? | 20:52 |
| Starnestommy | orudie: 8.04 has more features, but 7.10 is more stable | 20:52 |
| manoff | John, ok | 20:52 |
| amenado | blankhead-> i dont know your router..so I cant tell you how | 20:52 |
| manoff | John, i am downloading i386 version now | 20:52 |
| hwilde | xomp, it's prism based? i've never had a problem with them | 20:52 |
| xomp | hwilde, I have never heard of mainstream :) | 20:53 |
| manoff | thanks John | 20:53 |
| Starnestommy | nickthorley: I think there's a firefox2 or firefox-2 package in the repositories | 20:53 |
| John_S | blankhead: Try portforward.com to learn how to do port forwarding for your router. | 20:53 |
| amenado | blankhead-> but once you can forward and nat, you can then just ssh -l username ipaddresremote | 20:53 |
| kazol | Is this correct? If I want to deny access to vsftpd (process in /etc/xinetd.d) to 192.168.1.5, I should add "vsftpd : 192.168.1.5" to /etc/hosts.deny? | 20:53 |
| nickthorley | starnestommy: thanks | 20:53 |
| blankhead | ooh so username and ipaddresremote?? | 20:53 |
| ikonia | kazol: is xinetd setup to use tcpd | 20:54 |
| xomp | hwilde, I've been told it's prism based, orinoco based, oil based and everything in between but nobody has gotten it to work in roughly 4 months lol | 20:54 |
| blankhead | what is ipadresrmote mean actually? | 20:54 |
| amenado | remoteipaddress | 20:54 |
| John_S | manoff: No problem, I'm not saying you can't get it working in a 64 bit machine, just that I'm using a 32 bit so I don't keep track of those things. :) | 20:54 |

| wisedude | John - The subnet defaulted to 255.255.255.0 I believe, and I set the gateway as the IP of my router - 192.168.1.1 | 21:15 |

| Mon | i did | 21:18 |
| ibleed | arc_shmoo, i'm so sorry. for some reason thats a very common thing people who switch from gutsy to hardy find. less wireless support. you might want to look for a windows driver and use ndiswrapper | 21:18 |
| Mon | no respons | 21:18 |
| soundray | Mon: go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:18 |
| John_S | nickthorley: I'm not sure what broke for you between 7.10 and hardy, but I'm only familiar setting up with ndiswrapper since that is what I had to use. If all else fails I bet we could get your wireless going that way. | 21:18 |
| JohnnyWells | Everytime I log on, the network manager asks me for my admin password. How do I get it to stop doing this? | 21:18 |

| John_S | nickthorley: Yes, join the club, because I've seen alot of people with that issue here today unfortunately. | 21:20 |

| malaTG | Anyone here tried to do a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 with a logitech dinovo keyboard and mouse? | 21:20 |
| John_S | nickthorley: If you have the Windows wireless drivers (.inf and .sys files) we could set it up with ndiswrapper if you want to give it a shot. | 21:21 |
| arc_shmoo | ibleed: should i assume that support is comming in the near future? | 21:21 |

| Starnestommy | wisedude: you might need to be registered and identified with NickServ | 21:21 |
| soundray | david_-_-: I think the next best thing you can try is to install a 32bit firefox. Instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins | 21:21 |
| wisedude | Starnestommy - How do I do that on freenode? | 21:21 |
| Starnestommy | wisedude: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | 21:22 |
| wisedude | Thank you | 21:22 |
| John_S | nickthorley: Well, probably nothing you would care about, for instance with ndiswrapper you can't use "RF monitor" mode which allows you to use kismet and programs like that. | 21:22 |
| taime1 | what is the name of the terminal server client tha ubuntu uses? | 21:22 |

| ror | Pelo, I've never installed ubuntu-server unless it's a requirement for SQL server | 21:57 |
| ror | mySQL that is | 21:57 |
| eagleboy | and the light is on under linux but not under windows | 21:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slappy cd to the Desktop first and see if that helps with your cli command | 21:57 |
| unenough | ....which package do i need to install to get the libc manpages? | 21:57 |
| Pelo | sisif, restarting x but I'm not sure that will reload rc.local, you can try it , alt-crtl-backspace | 21:58 |
| tanath | i tried following the ubuntu wow guide | 21:58 |
| eagleboy | I just can't turn it off | 21:58 |
| ibleed | Mdarcelin, that depends on which one it is. some work, some dont. | 21:58 |
| ror | why does the upgrade want to remove so many x packages :o | 21:58 |
| Pelo | ror, that's the only thing I can think of that would do that | 21:58 |
| ltracy | Was adobe reader removed from apt? (Or am I hallucinating and it was never there) | 21:58 |
| Pelo | ror, x is getting upgraded as well | 21:58 |
| slappy | Jack_sparrow: i double clicked the file but it gave me an error saying it conflicts with the installed "network manager" | 21:58 |
| Ichigo-kun_ | hello | 21:58 |
| ror | Pelo: but it wants to *remove* loads of stuff, not upgrade, or install new | 21:58 |
| tanath | ror, do you have 'ubuntu-desktop' enabled? are the packages being replaced with others of different name? | 21:58 |
| Pelo | ltracy, try checking that backport and multivers repos are enable | 21:58 |
| tanath | ror, er, installed i mean. not enabled | 21:59 |
| ibleed | ltracy, the adobe pdf stuff is in medibuntu external repositories acroread and all that | 21:59 |
| ror | what's the easiest way to check ubuntu-server and ubuntu-desktop status? | 21:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slappy then I would suggest not using the program you are trying to install or make a full backup and know what you are doing first | 21:59 |
| ltracy | Thanks | 21:59 |
| orangey | hey all | 21:59 |
| arc_shmoo | ibleed: when i try to make the file i get "make[1]: *** [loadndisdriver] Error 1 | 21:59 |
| arc_shmoo | make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tessaract/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.52/utils' | 21:59 |
| arc_shmoo | make: *** [install] Error 2" | 21:59 |
| DarkLordVenom | how do i find out how many processes/filehandles a user can run? | 21:59 |
| tanath | ror, there's a metapackage called 'ubuntu-desktop' that you should have installed | 21:59 |
| slappy | k. | 21:59 |
| Mdarcelin | It's the linksys wireless G adapter. Model number is: WUSBF54G | 21:59 |
| orangey | do you guys know if an osx guest can be used in xen? | 21:59 |
| Pelo | ror, itremoves then it installs, but at this point I'm not sure what is going on , you can always sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop once you are done and rebooted if the desktop stuff is gone, your settings and data are safe on your /home | 21:59 |
| ibleed | arc_shmoo, i haven't used ndiswrapper in years i'm not a good person to ask someone else possibly | 21:59 |
| ror | yeah tanath, but how do I check with apt-get? | 22:00 |
| tanath | ror, 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' would work | 22:00 |
| arc_shmoo | who here knows how to get ndiswrapper going on 8.04? | 22:00 |
| Mdarcelin | I'm in live cd mode though because I wanted to get wireless working before I fully install hardy | 22:00 |
| ror | yeah I have ubuntu-desktop installed | 22:00 |
| ibleed | Mdarcelin, sometimes ethernet is required on the comp you want wireless to work like in the case of restricted drivers (requiring update) | 22:01 |
| ror | ubuntu-server isn't the right metapackage name | 22:01 |
| tanath | ror, then you shouldn't have to worry about it removing anything you need. if it's trying to remove stuff you want... well, make sure you're not using third party repositories... | 22:01 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 22:01 |
| ror | tanath, and what if I am? | 22:01 |
| arc_shmoo | bah guess 8.04 isn't ready for use yet back to 7.10 i go | 22:01 |
| tanath | ror, that can cause issues, particularly when upgrading your whole OS | 22:02 |
| Jacen | I'm having trouble getting rid of azureus. I just want to do a completely fresh install. I've used the terminal and synaptic to remove it but it's still in my system yet the terminal and synaptic both say it's not there. When I try to manually delete the files it wont let me. What do I need to do? Please help. | 22:02 |
| ror | hmm, ok | 22:02 |
| tanath | ror, you should disable them for the upgrade. then after the upgrade you can see about reenabling them and getting stuff back | 22:02 |
| ror | right, fair enough | 22:02 |
| Danish989 | Hi all | 22:02 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | Woho, Ubuntu 8.04 is the first version of Ubuntu that have even been remotely useful for me on my laptop! | 22:02 |
| DarkLordVenom | is ubotu not running in the channel? | 22:02 |
| ror | so is 1.5GB reasonably for a up to date 7.10 upgrade to 8.04? | 22:02 |
| tanath | ror, hopefully your 3rd party repos will have ones designed for the new version | 22:02 |
| ror | not sure I've got much from 3rd party repos | 22:03 |
| mib_7o18msex | Jacen: by still there do you mean it still launches or that the menu item for it is still there? | 22:03 |
| Pelo | ror, generaly it is a good idea to disable extra repos and to reinstalll ubuntu-desktop to make sure all those pacakges are available for upgrade | 22:03 |
| Rembos | ðóññêèå åñòü? | 22:03 |
| Danish989 | I just installed hardy heron and I was wondering what Beryl is, and how I can get the cubed desktop and also change settings for Compiz Fusion? | 22:03 |
| Jacen | I got rid of the menu item but yes, it still launches. | 22:03 |
| sisif | Well, that didn`t worked :( | 22:03 |
| Pelo | tanath, 3rdparty repos get disabled by the installer | 22:03 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | 7.04? "Fuck you laptop user!" 7.10? "Hahahaha, forget about sound or keyboard!" 8.10? "Hey, this stuff works!" | 22:03 |

| ubot5 | Rembos: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 22:03 |
| tanath | Pelo, right... forgot | 22:03 |
| ror | 8.10? wow you future freak | 22:03 |
| Jacen | Doing a search for azureus I find 11 files. | 22:03 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | eh, 8.04* | 22:04 |
| tanath | but simply having the stuff installed can cause issues | 22:04 |

| Danish989 | I just installed hardy heron and I was wondering what Beryl is, and how I can get the cubed desktop and also change settings for Compiz Fusion? can anyone help? | 22:04 |
| sisif | Pelo: Noup. No good. But thanks any way ! | 22:04 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | Well, anyway, woho, I can finally use Linux good on the laptop | 22:04 |
| Rembos | ñêó÷íî òóò, óõîæó ÿ îò âàñ.. | 22:04 |
| orudie | any reason why google maps are choppy in both firefox2 and firefox3 in 8.04 ? | 22:04 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | Not stuck totally to Windows OS's | 22:04 |
| Pelo | sisif, try with sudo modprobe ... | 22:04 |
| tanath | Danikar, beryl was a fork of compiz that got remerged into what is now 'compiz fusion' | 22:04 |
| ibleed | Danish989, hardy comes with compiz-fusion built in. you need a supported video card, go into appearances, click on "extra" for the effects then look into installing compizconfig-settings-manager i think it is | 22:04 |
| eagleboy | question, anyone know if linksys wusb54gc fully works under hardy? | 22:04 |
| mw-home | Hi, can I use ping to test a particular interface on my box? I want to know "can I hit remote server X from local interface eth1" | 22:04 |
| tanath | Danikar, woops, wrong nick | 22:05 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | and after getting Amarok to work, I have to admit, it's better then any other media player I've used | 22:05 |
| tanath | Danish989, , beryl was a fork of compiz that got remerged into what is now 'compiz fusion' | 22:05 |
| Pelo | sisif, man modprobe I think there is a modprobe config file you can edit to add the module | 22:05 |
| eagleboy | I have it working fine but it says "Unkown USB wireless card Unkwon" | 22:05 |
| ror | amarok rocks! although it's a bit weird with the way it handles playlists | 22:05 |
| Danish989 | ibleed: I have to install the compiz settings manager manually, it doesn't come pre-installed? | 22:05 |
| sisif | Pelo: Ok. | 22:05 |
| ibleed | mw-home, ping the lan internal address from a command line | 22:05 |
| Danish989 | tanath: I have to install the compiz settings manager manually, it doesn't come pre-installed? | 22:05 |
| ror | and it's constant "http cache cleaner" bs | 22:05 |
| sisif | Hmm | 22:05 |
| Lord_MuffloN^ | Now, for my questions, do I still need to go through a painful experience to install NVIDIA drivers? Secondly, is there support for the HUAEWI E220 3G modems for Linux? | 22:05 |
| ibleed | no Danish989 compiz-fusion is built in but the settings tweaker is that one program i pointed out | 22:05 |
| Danish989 | ibleed: okie, thanks :) | 22:06 |
| Mdarcelin | Oh darn! One more silly question: should I just do a full install? Would that make it easier for it to be recognized? Oh and if I need an ethernet connection, may I use this pc as the main computer? I'm using the verizon wireless modem/router | 22:06 |
| mw-home | ibleed: i have two interfaces. i want to use one. | 22:06 |
| ror | the settings tweaker is essential though :) | 22:06 |
| tanath | Danish989, i believe it comes with basic settings | 22:06 |
| twrigh1 | all you need to do to install the drivers is use the hardware drivers tool | 22:06 |
| ibleed | Danish989, looking in systems-preferances-appearance | 22:06 |
| ror | but the basic settings are useless compared to the powah that is the decent settings manager | 22:06 |

| SnakeArt | Hi,everyone! | 22:20 |
| CaptainSmokey | phillipsjk: oh, ok. thanks for telling me. why are they doing that? | 22:20 |
| Zoem | mstef, 8.04 uses pulseaudio for sound now | 22:20 |
| kdorf | pulseaudio sucks btw :( | 22:20 |
| PeterFA | How long ago was Hardy released? | 22:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Zoem I get lucky every now and then | 22:20 |
| Zoem | I'm ok with pulseaudio | 22:21 |
| george | no, it doesnt work..it still wrong :( | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shakkydo Please stay on topic | 22:21 |
| mstef | Zoem, so what do i do | 22:21 |
| SnakeArt | Is there anyone with gutsy-gibbon and bamboo one tablet? | 22:21 |
| Zoem | Jack_Sparrow, I dunno what was up with that. It seems like hal has been kinda squirrelly lately | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Zoem just be sure to properly unmount them. | 22:21 |
| kaffien | SnakeArt no but i have an intuos 3 tablet running | 22:21 |
| bobesponja | hi | 22:21 |
| markelhas | hi ppl i'm having some problems using video player with subtitles, can some one help me! | 22:21 |
| phillipsjk | sponzor: such a script may not detect a brief loss in connectivity (for example pulling the ethernet connection, then plugging it back in) | 22:21 |
| george | what the f**k mean "wrong architecture i386 | 22:21 |
| Zoem | mstef, ummm.... I'm not entirely the right person to help with that | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | george Please dont do that.. it is not appropiate | 22:22 |
| Zoem | mstef I've fixed it once, but I don't remember really what I did | 22:22 |
| mstef | Zoem, it worked fine for a like a day or two after upgrading | 22:22 |
| george | sorry | 22:22 |
| markelhas | i've tried totem an vlc and can't load subtitles at all | 22:22 |
| kaffien | the tablet works but the preassure controls dont seem to be as responsive in linux unforunately :( | 22:22 |
| markelhas | is there any special way to do this! | 22:22 |
| bobesponja | I lost my windows partition after installing ubuntu 8.04, I still have it in /dev/hda5 but grub doesn't see it, any way to get it back? | 22:22 |
| alice_ | wat is subtitle? | 22:22 |
| shakkydo | If you love Ubuntu but get frustrated at all the problems give Mint a bash. All these issues are sorted. I feels like Ubuntu but without the headaches!! I love it | 22:22 |
| Zoem | mstef check to make sure you have the right drivers installed | 22:23 |
| sponzor | PeterFA i nead a uptime of internet conection. the internet works from computer to router 24/7 but sometimes the isp restars servers etc.. and connections breaks for some seconds so i nead a uptime of connection to the internet | 22:23 |

| preki | Hi folks, I'm having wireless problems since upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy - is this the right place to ask for help? | 22:26 |
| rogangriffin | I'm having the same problem | 22:26 |
| kaffien | as for the bamboo wacom tablet YES it works SnakeArt according to the linux wacom project page | 22:26 |
| Assid | hrmm, this is bad | 22:26 |
| Assid | i cant get cp2101 to work on linux | 22:26 |
| Assid | works fine on windows | 22:26 |
| === ubot5 is now known as ubottu | ||
| rogangriffin | I expect that a lot of people are having wireless problems. Anyone know of a universal solution or where to start looking? | 22:26 |

| rogangriffin | Anyone got a Dell Vostro laptop and have tried to upgrade to Hardy? | 22:27 |
| Assid | Paddy_EIRE: didnt say it is .. im just saying i cant get it to work.. cp2101 is a module that the kernel detects.. im guessing it works here.. just not able to do it | 22:28 |
| rogangriffin | Preki> Yes, it is new in Hardy | 22:28 |
| kaffien | DarkLordVenom im familiar with that site, i found in earlier versions anyhow the preasure detection did not exist in the linux version | 22:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rogangriffin Use hard line to get internet , do your upgrades and that solves most issues | 22:28 |
| kaffien | if you chose black and drew a line very lightly it was still dark black | 22:28 |

| alice_ | danish cant | 22:29 |
| offload | Does anyone here use Opera? | 22:29 |
| cdecarlo | Danish989: so maybe you should switch to Kubuntu | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Danish989 kde4 or kubuntu-desktop and associated apps | 22:29 |
| suriro | offload: only 9.5beta works with recent flash plugins, not 9.27 | 22:29 |

| Danish989 | cdecarlo: what is the best / easiest / fastest way to switch to kubuntu from ubuntu? | 22:30 |
| preki | the upgrades? which upgrades? I have a Belkin wireless G that worked fine in Gutsy, but it's temperamental in Hardy | 22:30 |

This wasn't an issue on Gutsy, so I'm curious where this is coming from. | 22:31 |
| DarkLordVenom | mikeg3: you can do it in 7.10 too | 22:31 |
| jimcooncat | Online documentation is finally up! I wish they would publish it when they release the distro | 22:31 |
| preki | rogan> because your card/stick doesn't have native support? | 22:31 |
| rogangriffin | It is a laptop, and I guess the wireless card doesn't have native support | 22:32 |

| zaid_ | <zaid_> upgraded to hardy and lost wireless any ideas? I can no longer see any wireless networks | 22:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rogangriffin you should only have had to do the updates then clicked the restricted driver icon in the sys tray.. that is all I have had to do on three Dell laptops all with broadcom cards | 22:35 |

| MrSteve | How do I get them? | 22:35 |
| preki | ? | 22:35 |
| Simonf1 | preki: I have, it does not work | 22:36 |
| cheeseboy | DjViper, it says fundies, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: | 22:36 |
| ompaul | !compile | MrSteve however you might find that it is hard to build better to use something from the repos | 22:36 |
| ubottu | MrSteve however you might find that it is hard to build better to use something from the repos: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 22:36 |
| Simonf1 | Bazhang has fixed his, im wating for im to be on | 22:36 |

| MrSteve | ompaul, How to try to get the repos.. thru distro | 22:36 |
| photo1 | my question is in regards to virus scanners. The regular install didn't come with a virus scanner i think. what do you guys recommend? | 22:36 |
| Cann0n | compiz seems to not want to run 3d, freewins, or any other non-default plugins. is there a fix? (hardy heron) | 22:36 |
| Cann0n | it worked fine on gutsy, then i upgraded | 22:37 |

| ompaul | MrSteve, they are there apt-cache search WHATEVER | 22:37 |
| zaid_ | preki: yea | 22:37 |
| zaid_ | preki: but i canyt see the networks | 22:37 |
| MrSteve | ahh.. cool, I'm rather new about linux | 22:37 |
| zaid_ | preki: but i canyt see the networks | 22:37 |
| DjViper | cheeseboy: then I don't know, sorry | 22:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rogangriffin try to "force" the speed with sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M to get decent speed (by default i get 1MB/s) | 22:38 |
| Simonf1 | zaid_: preki: wait for Bazhang to come on | 22:38 |
| jimcooncat | Onyx, identd can be a security risk, don't let it listen to TCP (if I recall correctly). Postgresql gets it's authentication without tCP. | 22:38 |
| preki | even not seeing the networks, what happens when you try? | 22:38 |
| Simonf1 | zaid_: preki: he has fixed his | 22:38 |
| zaid_ | Simonf1: why? | 22:38 |
| phillipsjk | photo1: most of the time virus scanners are a waste of time and money anyway. I needed for regulatory compliance, there are a few available for linux. | 22:38 |
| rogangriffin | When will Bazhang come on? | 22:38 |

| wigglez | what about ubuntu restricted drivers | 22:41 |

| wigglez | well | 22:41 |

| wigglez | im d/ling the newer version of ubuntu now anyways | 22:41 |

| orangesicle | how can I change my language from inside gnome using the terminal? I believe my language has been changed to something in which there are no fonts, because all of my characters are squares.

| preki | coIR> envy automates the installation of nVidia's proprietary drivers | 22:43 |

| Jacen | Right. How do I do that? I know how to do it in terminal but not sure how to delete the files from there. | 22:44 |

| erisco | I just spent quite a while downloading ubuntu and firefox says it could not be saved | 22:46 |
| erisco | it has to be at some temporary spot or another! | 22:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erisco did you clean anything off your desktop while waiting like a file named .part | 22:46 |
| erisco | Jack_Sparrow, yes | 22:46 |

| Jacen | simonf1, how do I do that? | 22:46 |
| DarkLordVenom | does firefox 3 only run on hardy? | 22:46 |
| Danish989 | erisco: I'm not sure but I think it wouldnt save it in a temporary location either if you deleted the .part flie | 22:46 |
| erisco | Jack_Sparrow, I deleted the file only before starting a new download | 22:47 |
| colR | so back to my original question: | 22:47 |
| colR | i installed the flash plugin and it doesn't work: e.g. flash video fails to play. is there a way to get round this w/o deleting the .so file and installing the whole package? | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erisco If you move that "part" during the download and the download finishes.. all is lost | 22:47 |
| orangesicle | how can I change my language from inside gnome using the terminal? I believe my language has been changed to something in which there are no fonts, because all of my characters are squares. Additionally, all of the characters on the login screen are squares as well, so I can't change it from there. | 22:47 |
| erisco | Jack_Sparrow, but I removed it before the download started... firefox must have confused files | 22:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erisco then look around | 22:47 |

| zaid_ | mgregsond: redbox http://pastebin.com/m22621856 | 23:08 |

| sparkybean | whiteeagle: it says? | 23:08 |
| peeps[work] | does 64bit ubuntu use a special 64bit jdk, or is it the same as 32bit jdk? | 23:08 |
| DarkLordVenom | i just remember it took me a long time to get ndiswrapper working properly | 23:08 |
| whiteeagle | so | 23:08 |
| _rp | RequinB4: give that a bash, helped me out with my rt2500 driver problems | 23:08 |

| whiteeagle | I clicked close | 23:08 |
| RequinB4 | _rp: never heard of it, but I'm trying to keep this simple as possible, because i'm pretty sure the driver etc is fine, i just need to get it working manually. thanks tho | 23:08 |
| doolph | dupin, but I can only uncheck, I cannot remove it | 23:09 |

| b33r_ | Hello I need a good java solution for hardy amd64, iced tea java sucks balls not even yahoo games work on it, I think it something to do with the way iced tea stores cache files =/ | 23:09 |
| sparkybean | can you access your files? | 23:09 |
| Cidan | yoanis: Complex, the OS will address in the same block of space for RAM the memory for other things on your bus, PCI cards, video cards, and so on. | 23:09 |
| zaid_ | mgregsond: any ideas? | 23:09 |
| theron | just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 everything worked great except for gnome-screensaver. When clicking lock screen from the shutdown menu, the screen dims and goes black, but I can't log back into system. | 23:09 |
| whiteeagle | and I tried to do sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver (because that was the package that was already installed, and some other package wanted to install a file which was already included by it) | 23:09 |
| whiteeagle | so I do | 23:09 |
| mgregsond | zaid_: Hold on. | 23:09 |
| Cidan | yoanis: 64 bit OS installs "fix" this issue by raising the limit. | 23:09 |
| _rp | RequinB4: it's a replacement for network-manager which is the cause of most problems. maybe try it as a last resort later on | 23:09 |
| alibayati | Which post? Can you get me URL? | 23:09 |

| yoanis | Cidan: thanks | 23:10 |
| asizemore | ahem | 23:10 |

| whiteeagle | LjL: I didn't kept the error completely, there was a package which wanted to overwrite a file which was already installed by another package ( gnome-screensaver ) and I can't sudo anymore | 23:19 |
| Simonf1 | whiteeagle: can you do anything from ctrl+alt+1? | 23:19 |
| mgregsond | ulle: Then, connect your wire and use ifconfig + dhclient/dhcpcd to connect to wired. | 23:19 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: don't remember the names of *both* packages? | 23:19 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: and I see a restart icon in the taskbar, and I am afraid to shutdown | 23:19 |
| mgregsond | ulle: You'll need to manually configure routing probably though. | 23:19 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: I remember the name of the second package | 23:19 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: it was gnome-screensaver | 23:19 |
| Simonf1 | whiteeagle: back up anything critical and restart | 23:19 |
| ulle | well , route add default ........would do it | 23:19 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: right, but i'd like to know the name of the other one... can you find out with a "cat /var/log/dpkg.log"? | 23:19 |
| Simonf1 | whiteeagle: mine crashed in the middle and it was fine after a restart | 23:20 |

| mgregsond | ulle: Well, if you know the rest... | 23:23 |
| nikolap | could anyone shed some light on this? I'm getting ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted messages while trying to connect to the internet with wvdial and my Vodafone Mobile Connect card. everything seems to work fine (I can see the connection attempt in my ISP log), but I just can't get "out" - can't ping anything, visit any website, nothing. any thoughts? tried flushing iptables, no avail. route listing seems fine. | 23:23 |
| DanaG | Argh, I just managed to kill X by unminimizing a window. | 23:23 |
| LjL | [T]-Rex: uhm, i always mix those formats up, .img is which? | 23:23 |
| Cidan | ctp: easiest way is to write a bash script, run "ps aux | grep <name>" and check for a return other than the grep. | 23:23 |
| LinuxGuy1234 | [T]-Rex: what do you mean, floppies or cdrom images | 23:24 |
| asizemore | slart, yes | 23:24 |
| DanaG | Anybody want to try the X crash? | 23:24 |
| Cidan | ctp: Actually, that's a lie. It's not the easiest way, but eh. It's the only way I know, :P | 23:24 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: well, there's no mention of gnome-screensaver there :| ok, make sure you have some sort of working kernel | 23:24 |
| redbox | RequinB4: I'm pretty confident if you grab the latest bcm43xx-fwcutter deb and bring it to that machine (check for dependencies) it should work. | 23:24 |
| asizemore | Slart: it's an ubuntu desktop-turned-server that I ssh into to use irssi and some editing as well as school access | 23:24 |
| DanaG | http://www.facilities.calpoly.edu/campusprojects/EngIV_Web_Cam.htm -- go there, put it in a background tab, then minimize and unminimize Firefox. Xorg will crash. | 23:24 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: type "uname -r", what does it give? | 23:24 |
| DanaG | damn java. | 23:24 |
| DanaG | Or maybe it's an nvidia bug? | 23:24 |
| Slart | asizemore: and you want to lock it down completely? | 23:24 |
| asizemore | Slart: no x-server though | 23:24 |
| asizemore | no | 23:24 |
| whiteeagle | 2.6.22-14-generic | 23:25 |
| Cidan | LinuxGuy1234: Fixed the issue I had, didn't need to make /boot | 23:25 |

| DanielRM | Hmmm, busy in here. | 23:27 |
| Simonf1 | wtfck: what is the prob? | 23:27 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: uhm, restarting now is going to be roulette. however, if you can't use sudo, there's nothing you can really do except restart. but there's one thing i don't understand - why would your user not be in the admin group, if it was before the upgrade? | 23:28 |
| jaran | thanks John_S, i'll give that a try aswell | 23:28 |

| whiteeagle | LjL: yes it was in the admin group | 23:29 |
| wtfck | For an old laptop | 23:29 |
| LjL | wtfck, if you have a good internet connection, it might be worthwhile to use the minimal CD | 23:29 |
| nikolap | wtfck: you could try the alternate CD, it offers a text-based installer if I remember correctly. | 23:29 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: but it's not now? | 23:29 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: now I can't see | 23:29 |

| ubottu | Factoid minimal cd not found | 23:30 |
| deathface | hey has anyone gotten the alsa working in hardy yet? | 23:30 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: you don't need sudo to know which groups you're in | 23:30 |
| LjL | !minimal | Simonf1 | 23:30 |
| ubottu | Simonf1: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:30 |

| LjL | whiteeagle: aaah. the hostname problem | 23:31 |
| deathface | what problems are you having with alsa | 23:31 |
| LjL | !hostname | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 23:31 |

| whiteeagle | Onyx: yes, me too | 23:31 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: well, normally it's fixed by rebooting into recovery mode and fixing it, however recovery mode might not work, depending what state your system actually is in | 23:31 |
| Onyx | whiteeagle, Any solution? | 23:32 |
| tarkus | anyone know of a decent ftp client? i dont mind CLI or GUI | 23:32 |

| wtfck | My laptop currently only connects through a wireless card. | 23:32 |

| ubottu | 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.

| cecolon | hello! i have just installed ubuntu, and managed to configure dual-screen via displayconfig-gtk. But the resolution on the laptop displays seems a little blurry, and (worse), both monitors displays only a part of the desktop (so that it scrolls when the pointer touches an edge of the monitor). | 23:33 |

| Slart | lewench: is it the same if you disable overlay or hardware acceleration in the app? | 23:34 |
| DanielRM | Hmmm, I wonder whether anyone here has any experience with user management? | 23:34 |
| Slart | lewench: I think vlc has some kind of preferences where you can set these kind of things | 23:34 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: from there, type "apt-get -f install". if it fails, type "dpkg --configure -a", then type "apt-get -f install" again. keep doing that until it stops failing. make *sure* your /etc/apt/sources.list only contains the official Hardy repositories. | 23:34 |

| kappershaw_ | ? | 23:38 |
| mgregsond | zaid_: apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-16-generic will do | 23:39 |
| bladerunne1 | whiteeagle: there is no root int ubuntu .. you tackle the problem using sudo | 23:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | thats it | 23:39 |
| Y-Town | I am trying to get rsync to take my /home directory and upload it to a ftp site on a dailt basis... anyone know how to set rsync to do this? | 23:39 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: if it stops failing, then chances are that you'll be left with a working Hardy system | 23:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | displayconfig-gtk | 23:39 |
| Slart | lewench: hmm..might be a driver thing.. nothing in the forums about this? | 23:39 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: but I have 481 updates left to install | 23:39 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: if it doesn't stop failing, then chances are that you'll have to reinstall, at least unless you can connect to IRC and go through some very step-by-step troubleshooting | 23:39 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: for upgrading to hardy | 23:39 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: well, they should be all downloaded to your HD already | 23:39 |
| lewench | Slart, Not that I've read. I have the nvidia "restricted" drivers. Don't know if thats a bad thing | 23:39 |
| LjL | just not installed | 23:39 |
| Slart | Y-Town: there must be dozens of howto's on that.. is the man page for rsync that horrible? | 23:39 |
| whiteeagle | LjL: yes they are | 23:39 |
| Scunizi | Y-Town: you might find this informative http://www.brunolinux.com/10-General_Info/Rsync.html | 23:39 |
| LjL | whiteeagle: apt-get -f install will install them. if it works. | 23:40 |
| seancron | or if you really need to log in as root and know what you are doing you can use "sudo su" | 23:40 |
| jonnymac | Is 8.04 LTS Hardy and is it worth upgrading? | 23:40 |
| frankyd | since i' | 23:40 |
| doubledew | how can you boot directly into console mode without starting up gnome? | 23:40 |
| LjL | seancron: "sudo -i" is preferred | 23:40 |
| mgregsond | zaid_: Got that? | 23:40 |
| twinkie_addict | i installed hardy from a clean install , sofar no issues | 23:40 |
| seancron | ljl thanks I forgot about that | 23:40 |
| bladerunne1 | tcpdumpgod: this may be what you are after ... tells you at the top of the xorg.conf file - sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 23:40 |
| Scunizi | doubledew: choose recovery mode on boot | 23:40 |
| fractal420 | jonnymac yes, yes | 23:40 |
| whiteeagle | can I reinstall and keep my home directory? | 23:40 |
| Slart | lewench: well.. they seems to work for a lot of people.. perhaps try the drivers from nvidias site... if they are any newer.. don't remember | 23:40 |
| jonnymac | here goes nada.... | 23:40 |
| Y-Town | Slart: Im not really a text based user so yah it stinks :o) | 23:41 |
| Scunizi | whiteeagle: only if you /home is a seperate partition | 23:41 |
| lewench | Slart, Ok ill try that. Thanks man | 23:41 |
| doubledew | Scunizi: no, i dont mean temporarily, i mean everytime, and then starting gnome if so desired | 23:41 |
| twinkie_addict | do you have acd handy ? | 23:41 |
| Y-Town | Scunizi: Thanks | 23:41 |
| Slart | lewench: you're welcome | 23:41 |
| cecolon | kappershaw_: it was already installed at my system, OR, it got installed when the proprietary-driver-thing downloaded drivers for my nvidia card | 23:41 |
