| Volkodav | bug # 1 is not a bug | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Volkodav | that's the way it's always been - simple is on the surface - just buy it and you good | 00:02 |
| Volkodav | who the heck wants to edit xorg.conf ? | 00:03 |
| Volkodav | http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm | 00:08 |
| Volkodav | I normally let them read this too http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/winstupid/winstupid1.php | 00:08 |
| TheSheep | um, yes, bt this is a support channel | 00:09 |
| TheSheep | and you are preaching to the choir | 00:09 |
| Volkodav | that's a good reading anyway | 00:10 |
| TheSheep | a little old :) | 00:11 |
| Volkodav | bet you 95 % see it first time | 00:11 |
| kdat | TheSheep, thanks for your help, i will see it tommorrow | 00:12 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: second, first was in 2005 | 00:14 |
| TheSheep | the second one is actually more than 6 years old | 00:15 |
| TheSheep | yay! Knuth uses Ubuntu :) | 00:16 |
| Volkodav | 6 years old? was there ubuntu back then? | 00:18 |
| TheSheep | no, ubuntu is pretty young | 00:19 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: ubuntu is not for mimicking windows, but it's aimed at the same user base | 00:21 |
| TheSheep | well, some of it at least | 00:21 |
| TheSheep | I guess other distros do the corporatey part better | 00:22 |
| Volkodav | corporate part ? | 00:23 |
| TheSheep | managing large deployments of workstations, for example | 00:23 |
| TheSheep | and large numbers of users | 00:23 |
| Volkodav | was sudo and no root account by default part of playing the winblows game too? | 00:24 |
| TheSheep | not that ubuntu can't do it, it just doesn't have ready prepared solutions | 00:24 |
| TheSheep | no | 00:24 |
| Volkodav | ? | 00:25 |
| Volkodav | yes maybe a right answer? | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | it turned out to be a better way for keeping users out of the admin account | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | otherwise everyone would just log in as root and stay that way | 00:25 |
| Volkodav | why keep them out? | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | because staying root is dangerous, potentially | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | and not necessary for everyday work/play | 00:26 |
| Volkodav | they will learn that it is not the way things done on our side | 00:26 |
| TheSheep | they? our? | 00:26 |
| Volkodav | yeah - because it is windoze practice to run as root | 00:27 |
| Volkodav | any install demands root account | 00:27 |
| TheSheep | not really, in Vista even the admin has limited rights | 00:27 |
| Volkodav | that's where the learning starts | 00:27 |
| TheSheep | well, you need r access to install software on linux too - at lest the prepackaged programs | 00:28 |
| TheSheep | s/r/root/ | 00:28 |
| Volkodav | and instead you type your user acoount | 00:28 |
| Volkodav | ? | 00:29 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: the application has to ask you for the password to do anything with root rights | 00:29 |
| TheSheep | and not all users can use sudo | 00:29 |
| TheSheep | if you think about it, it's better, you also get better audit -- you know who ran the sudo | 00:30 |
| Volkodav | I will never agree to sudo concept with no root account | 00:30 |
| Volkodav | first thing after install I do is sudo passwd | 00:31 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: if you like it, it's your business | 00:32 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: just remember to disable loggin to root through ssh if you ever install an ssh server though -- ubuntu doesn't have this option enabled by default because you cannot log in as root anyways | 00:32 |
| Volkodav | btw anybody uses deluge? This thing has been crashing on me all day] | 00:32 |
| Odd-rationale | Volkodav: have you tried transmission? | 00:33 |
| Volkodav | ssh is the second thing I do after sudo passwd | 00:33 |
| Volkodav | transmission us ugly and poor on features | 00:33 |
| TheSheep | rtorrent is pretty nice if you have greater torrenting needs :) | 00:34 |
| Volkodav | rtorrent is kewl | 00:35 |
| Volkodav | also how do I start in init 3? | 00:35 |
| Volkodav | I sometimes do not need X on certain sessions | 00:35 |
| Odd-rationale | transmission has a cli i think | 00:35 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: on debian all user runlevels are the same | 00:36 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: you can switch to text console with alt+ctrl+f1 | 00:36 |
| Volkodav | rtorrent and screen does the job for me - deluge seems to be buggy or it is just me | 00:36 |
| Volkodav | I mean from grub to add say 3 to kernel option or so | 00:37 |
| Volkodav | to bypass gdm completely | 00:37 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: that will work, but still init 3 is the same as init 5 by default | 00:37 |
| Volkodav | yeah but 3 does not work | 00:38 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: you can of course edit /etc/rc.d | 00:38 |
| Volkodav | in debian does | 00:38 |
| Volkodav | looks like it boots in init 5 no matter way | 00:38 |
| TheSheep | works just fine | 00:38 |
| Volkodav | what works fine? | 00:39 |
| TheSheep | booting into different runlevels, they are just all the same | 00:39 |
| TheSheep | I think that ubuntu will be finally going away from the whole System V init system | 00:40 |
| Volkodav | /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet 3 | 00:40 |
| Volkodav | if I add 3 here it still boots in init 5 | 00:40 |
| Volkodav | and how do I get xfce menu on desktop's right click like it is supposed to be instead of gnome's "create his create that: | 00:45 |
| TheSheep | Volkodav: there is an option in the 'behavior' tab of the 'desktop settings' | 00:48 |
| Volkodav | why did they click it off anyway? It was always on by default | 00:50 |
| TheSheep | not in xubuntu | 00:51 |
| Caplinux | How do I install XFCE in Ubuntu to allow me to select that window manager when I start ubuntu. I want to be able to switch between GNOME and XFCE | 02:00 |
| Weedy | i installed ubuntu, nuked gnome and installed xfce | 02:29 |
| Weedy | so how do i get the windows partition (sda1 ntfs) to popup in thunar and stuff | 02:30 |
| Stroganoff | Weedy: sudo apt-get install thunar-volman | 03:03 |
| Stroganoff | let Thunar handle this.. | 03:03 |
| Ahmuck | . | 03:09 |
| Weedy | Stroganoff: thunar-volman is already the newest version. | 03:11 |
| Stroganoff | Thunar -> Settings -> Advanced | 03:11 |
| Stroganoff | and make sure you uninstalled gnome-volume-manager | 03:12 |
| Stroganoff | or add your windows partition to fstab | 03:13 |
| Stroganoff | or reinstall with this if you want lightweight http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 :p | 03:13 |
| yoyoma | hello, i've got xfce running on ubuntu 8.04... how do i get compiz effects working? | 04:11 |

| c0de | hi | 05:18 |
| c0de | anybody out there who would like to help me with a little font problem? | 05:18 |
| c0de | the problem is that in some apps the fonts really look nice but with other apps too "blurry" | 05:19 |
| CM_Burns | Hi, I just installed 8.04 and I had a question about getting wireless to function properly...anyone available to help with that? | 05:46 |
| Odd-rationale | !wireless | CM_Burns | 05:48 |
| Odd-rationale | CM_Burns: what card you got? | 05:48 |
| CM_Burns | 1 card and one USB adapter...the card is a Linksys WPCG54 G v.2 | 05:49 |
| CM_Burns | The USB adapter is a netgear WG111v2 | 05:49 |
| CM_Burns | Both can see wireless networks, but both (usually) fail to connect to a secured network. | 05:50 |
| Odd-rationale | CM_Burns: so both show up in iwconfig? | 05:50 |
| CM_Burns | checking... | 05:51 |
| CM_Burns | I think so...I'm not good at reading the output. There is a wlan0 and a wlan1 entry that seem to be different wireless cards. | 05:53 |
| CM_Burns | Both cards do show up in the GUI network tool. | 05:54 |
| Odd-rationale | so sometimes you can connect? | 05:55 |
| CM_Burns | I have connected a few times to an unsecured router on the Linksys card. But it does not work everytime. | 05:56 |
| CM_Burns | I don't think I'm doing anything differently, so it is a mystery to my why it only sometimes works. | 05:56 |
| CM_Burns | On the USB adapter, I connected once to a secure network using WPA2, but I couldn't get any data to download. | 05:57 |
| CM_Burns | However, on the USB, I could only get the connection once...now when it tries to log on, it gives up after a minute or so. | 05:58 |
| Odd-rationale | CM_Burns: so you wireless is working but just not connecting? | 06:03 |
| CM_Burns | Partially working at least, if seeing available networks and occasionally connecting passes as "working". | 06:05 |
| CM_Burns | I should add though, that the Linksys card does not have an option for WPA/WPA2 security, but the USB card does, which is confusing... | 06:06 |
| Odd-rationale | CM_Burns: Ok. that is over my head then. sorry. :( try the forums. | 06:07 |
| CM_Burns | thanks anyways... | 06:07 |

| dee_cz | hi | 11:40 |
| dee_cz | :/ | 11:41 |
| albuntu | i've done a very stupid thing... and i don't know how to fix it. a couple of weeks ago i decided to add kde desktop to my ubuntu laptop. immediately it was causing probs. in my infinite(esimal) wisdom i opend synaptic and markd for removal everything that started with a k. uhhhhh, guess that wasn't the right ticket. now i can boot up. i would just reinstall from a disk, but my cd drive... | 11:45 |
| albuntu | ...doesn't seem to be reading them. arrrrrrrggggghhhhhh. any possibility of getting any help with this? i bought a round trip ticket to panama for $36 from miami for this friday. and i'd really like to take my old laptop with me. | 11:45 |
| albuntu | i meant to say: now i CAN't boot up, of course. | 11:46 |
| totalwormface | hehe | 11:47 |
| totalwormface | there are guides around for removing DE's :P but i guess that's too late now | 11:47 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: it doesn't even start in recovery mode? | 11:47 |
| totalwormface | albuntu: how far _can_ you boot up | 11:47 |
| TheSheep | I guess you removed the *K*ernel | 11:47 |
| totalwormface | lol | 11:48 |
| totalwormface | yeah, the kernel is stupid kde stuff :P | 11:48 |
| albuntu | don't know how to get to that. just powered it on, and get this: invalid configuration information-please run SETUP program. strike f1 to cont, f2 to run setup | 11:48 |
| totalwormface | wow | 11:49 |
| totalwormface | you messed up : | 11:49 |
| albuntu | ya, maybe it was the *K*ernel :( | 11:49 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: um, that's probably a message from bios | 11:49 |
| albuntu | is there a way to open xterm and do some mumbo jumbo to it? | 11:50 |
| albuntu | :) | 11:50 |
| totalwormface | should he be able to chroot into that install with a live cd? | 11:50 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: just go into the bios setting (that setup with f2) and set everything to what you actually have in that laptop -- or restart to factory settings | 11:50 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: that's not related to removing packages, btw | 11:52 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: either you messed up the bios settings somehow or there is a hardware failure | 11:52 |
| albuntu | hmmmm. the boot order was set to floppy first, then hdd, then cdrw, i've pushed cd up, maybe it will take a disk now | 11:52 |
| albuntu | i am sure i had it set to boot from cd first, could it have reverted on its own? | 11:53 |
| albuntu | i put xub alt installer in, said grub loading, then ERROR 15: File not found, press any key to continue. would you say it's still not reading the disk? | 11:58 |
| albuntu | press any key gets me a three choice menu, ub 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode), and lastly memtest. did you say choose recovery mode? | 12:00 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: yes, that's grub from the hard disk trying to boot kernel that is not there anymore | 12:00 |
| albuntu | recovery mode: file not found.......... arrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh | 12:00 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: there are more ways to boot it than cd | 12:01 |
| TheSheep | albuntu: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 12:01 |
| albuntu | i think its hardware prob with cd. what would you suggest next? | 12:02 |
| albuntu | i go look | 12:02 |
| TheSheep | either troubleshooting the hardware problem or trying one of the other installation methods | 12:02 |
| totalwormface | (did you set boot from cd in the bios settings?) | 12:02 |
| albuntu | totalwormface: ya | 12:03 |
| totalwormface | crap :[ | 12:03 |
| albuntu | ya | 12:04 |
| albuntu | i wish i would have started working on this earlier, but i was too embarrased to say what i did :) | 12:07 |
| albuntu | now what i don't get is WHY it won't boot either from an external iomega drive i just hooked to it by usb. would that be a different setting in the bios? | 12:08 |
| floating | format and install xubuntu 8.04 :P | 12:13 |
| floating | hmmi | 12:17 |
| floating | do you have any other OS on cd-rom ? | 12:18 |
| floating | than the xub alt | 12:18 |
| floating | put that usb in the boot order thing | 12:20 |
| albuntu | floating, sorry i was away... yes, i have centos, dsl, opensuse, puppy, gnewsense, gnewstep, ututu | 12:32 |
| albuntu | let me see if the centos live reads | 12:33 |
| albuntu | i know is a hardware prob cause cd drawer wont eject | 12:34 |
| albuntu | got it open, and put suse live in, won't run | 12:35 |
| Xubuntu | hi | 12:36 |

| 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 disk | 13:14 |
| KOJV | I've got two screens (just found another 19" CRT next to a dumpster, yes, people are crazy around here) and in Windows, dual screens work fine. But as I set the two at 1280x1024@75Hz in Xubuntu, reboot and they get a lower on-screen resolution though the desktop is still 1280... so I've gotta "scroll" around to the edges. What's up with that? Thanks! | 13:23 |

| cody-somerville | Heya maxamillion | 13:51 |
| maxamillion | morning cody-somerville | 13:53 |
| maxamillion | cody-somerville: i've quasi learned wxPython :) | 13:53 |
| maxamillion | cody-somerville: had to learn a cross platform gui toolkit to write a program for a class and i wanted to code in python and still get native looking code :D | 13:53 |
| cody-somerville | lol | 13:55 |
| maxamillion | the professor kept trying to "sell" the idea of java ... i didn't want any part in it | 13:56 |
| * cody-somerville likes Java. | 13:58 | |
| maxamillion | i don't *dislike* java ... i just much prefer to code in python | 13:58 |
| maxamillion | i've become kind of a python addict | 13:58 |
| KOJV | As I enable my secondary screen in Xubuntu and reboot, my two screens get a lower on-screen resolution though the desktop is still 1280... so I've gotta "scroll" around to the edges. What's up with that? Thanks! | 14:09 |
| cody-somerville | KOJV, Just update the resolution settings :) | 14:11 |
| KOJV | cody-somerville, how to update? Enter the settings and click OK? | 14:12 |
| cody-somerville | You'll probably have to logout | 14:12 |
| KOJV | cody-somerville, I even rebooted. | 14:13 |
| cody-somerville | You'll need to update the settings to use the resolution you want it to | 14:14 |
| albuntu | i am having trouble with screen res on an old dell laptop, is very bad. can someone remind me how to get into the xorg file with mousepad? | 14:38 |

| omega1 | hello | 15:02 |
| omega1 | i have a problem | 15:02 |
| omega1 | can anyone help me set my soundcard? | 15:03 |
| omega1 | with alsa? | 15:03 |
| albuntu | cody-somerville: i got into xorg.conf, and changed the default depth to 16 from 24, but still not getting a very crisp resolution on that old laptop, is it possible it just don't get no better? or is there any other tweak or setting i could do? | 15:15 |
| cody-somerville | Is it the text or everything? | 15:15 |
| albuntu | well, hmmm... the text was REAL bad b4 i changed to 16 | 15:17 |
| albuntu | its *some* better for sure, but just not crisp. it | 15:17 |
| cody-somerville | Okay. | 15:19 |
| albuntu | its doing another odd behavior i've never seen, which is when i try to open 'display settings' the window just blinks on and off, and i can't get in to toggle between the offerings. i notice the one on the bottom starts with 320 x something, and at the top, just below 'default' is 800 x something | 15:19 |
| cody-somerville | Okay | 15:20 |
| cody-somerville | You need to change your monitor | 15:20 |
| albuntu | is old laptop | 15:20 |
| albuntu | but not that old, i just RIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPed a 'made for windows 98' sticker off it, and cut it up into little shards, before properly disposing of it | 15:21 |
| albuntu | cody-somerville: do you think that's the best its gonna do? | 15:22 |
| cody-somerville | In the settings :P | 15:23 |
| albuntu | ummmm, don't understand; you mean something in the xorg? | 15:23 |
| albuntu | ok, i got the blinking thing to stop blinking long enough to set the res to 800 x 600 and it was WORSE, so i went back to default, but i don't know what 'defautl' actually is | 15:27 |
| albuntu | default | 15:27 |
| albuntu | cody-somerville: but what you said about changing the monitor, did you mean changing some setting in the xorg? | 15:28 |
| albuntu | if the dell startup screen, and then the splash image are much cleaner, wouldn't that mean that the monitor is capable of better performance? | 15:35 |
| KOJV | How come I have no sound in Xubuntu though I have it with the Live Ubuntu CD_ | 15:46 |

| omega1 | console>> asoundconf list | 16:55 |
| TheSheep | jgamio: what kind of card is it? | 16:55 |
| omega1 | look if its listed there | 16:55 |

| PsynoKhi0 | :) | 17:00 |
| jgamio | TheSheep nothing special the sond from the motherboard I think is a via | 17:01 |

| jgamio | TheSheep i didnt have problem before this is the first time | 17:04 |
| jgamio | PsynoKhi0 what i need looking for | 17:04 |
| TheSheep | jgamio: do you have /dev/dsp ? | 17:05 |
| jgamio | TheSheep no | 17:05 |
| PsynoKhi0 | jgamio: something that looks like a soundcard heh... like AC97 | 17:06 |
| TheSheep | dmesg doesn't have anything suspicious? | 17:06 |
| jgamio | dmesg what is that ? | 17:06 |
| jgamio | PsynoKhi0 yes i have a C97 Audio Controller | 17:07 |
| TheSheep | jgamio: a command that displays you the kernel messgaes since last boot | 17:07 |
| zoredache | dmesg tells you a lot of information the kernel reports | 17:07 |
| jgamio | TheSheep how i can check that ? | 17:08 |
| zoredache | at a terminal type 'dmesg' or look at the file /var/log/dmesg | 17:08 |

| cleokat | Hi! I need help installing flash player plugin | 17:33 |
| omega1 | amd 64 or x68 | 17:43 |
| omega1 | ? | 17:43 |
| omega1 | or x86? | 17:43 |
| omega1 | just use synaptic... and install the package.. | 17:43 |
| omega1 | normally works.. | 17:43 |
| cleokat | hmm good question | 17:43 |
| cleokat | I'm an absolute begginer, had xubuntu for a month or so... | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | it's the flashplugin-nonfree package, works on both i386 and amd64 | 17:44 |
| omega1 | jep but there was an issue with 64 bits flash .. | 17:45 |
| omega1 | i figured it out in a day.. used a backport x86 package and then it worked.. | 17:45 |
| cleokat | ok, see I just found synaptic.. | 17:46 |
| cleokat | let's see | 17:46 |
| omega1 | search flash.. | 17:46 |
| omega1 | then install:) | 17:46 |
| omega1 | nothing to it.. | 17:46 |
| omega1 | maybe a reboot thats all.. | 17:46 |
| cleokat | installing.. | 17:47 |
| voodoo | why don't I have any file in /usr/include? i have 'gcc' installed | 17:50 |
| voodoo | (and 'libc6') | 17:51 |
| MacHaddock | ok I have a resulusion problem with hardy heron | 17:51 |
| cleokat | it worked, perfect! So simple, I really have some deep reading to do! Thanks a lot! | 17:51 |
| MacHaddock | I installed hardy heron on my dell inspiron 2600 | 17:52 |
| MacHaddock | the problem is that everytime there seemed to be something wrong with the drivers for the grafics card. So I couldn't see anything. Eventually I managed to get it installed in safe grafic mode (I think it was anyway) | 17:53 |
| MacHaddock | but now the resolution is really small and I can't change it. Is there a magic command line input to fix this or what do I do? | 17:54 |
| MacHaddock | When I go to xfce settings manager and then display there is only default to choose from and that's not the one I need apparently | 17:55 |
| MacHaddock | is there no one there that knows anything about this problem? | 17:59 |

| Nostah1 | how do i pull it up if it dosnt have a eth0 or ath0 or some sort of name | 18:26 |
| PsynoKhi0 | hey again, shouldn't Modes "widthxheight_refresh rate" be the rightsyntaxt to force refresh rates for the given display mode? | 18:28 |
| voodoo | Nostah1, i suppose your wirless is not disabled | 18:32 |
| voodoo | (i have a keyswitch for that) | 18:32 |
| voodoo | do you know the drivers for your wireless? | 18:32 |
| voodoo | try inserting them manually | 18:33 |
| Nostah1 | it auto detected the card | 18:33 |
| Nostah1 | and enabled them for me in restricted drivers thing | 18:33 |
| voodoo | are the drivers loaded? | 18:33 |

| voodoo | root@voodoo-laptop:~# lsmod | grep wifi | 18:35 |
| voodoo | iwlwifi_mac80211 219108 1 iwl3945 | 18:35 |
| voodoo | cfg80211 15112 1 iwlwifi_mac80211 | 18:35 |
| omega1 | iwconfig? | 18:37 |
| omega1 | or try dmesg if its listed there its loaded.. | 18:37 |
| voodoo | Nostah1, search for madwifi | 18:39 |

| Nostahl | so what do you guys think of the new release | 21:44 |
| maxamillion | Nostahl: i think its a vast improvement over the last one ... the project is back on track and much more focused on things that matter now that the project has a solid leader | 21:48 |
| Nostahl | i use to run debian alot on my desktop's but since i bought a laptop i have been using vista | 21:49 |
| Nostahl | because toshiba says partitioning or reformating voids warrenty heh | 21:49 |
| maxamillion | ouch | 21:50 |
| Nostahl | my desktops are stored away and disassembled now so i dont get the urge to suck down a ton of power anymore heh | 21:50 |
| maxamillion | i run a combination of debian and fedora actually ... i used to do development work for xubuntu, but i stopped a while back and swore of *buntu... but now that the project lead has changed, i am considering coming back | 21:51 |
| r3b | does anyone know about enabling PAE in Xubuntu Hardy? | 21:52 |
| crimsun | you'd need to use the -server kernel. | 21:52 |
| crimsun | (if you don't want to recompile, that is) | 21:52 |
| crimsun | CONFIG_X86_PAE=y | 21:53 |
| Nostahl | my interest in ubuntu stems from being a computer tech and wanting to get comfortable with a linux os that clients may start asking me about etc | 21:53 |
| r3b | can i the server kernel apt? | 21:53 |
| r3b | can i *get* | 21:53 |
| cody-somerville | Nostahl, :) | 21:53 |
| crimsun | r3b: sudo apt-get install linux-server | 21:53 |
