| drivetrax | wubrgamer, - I wait for the day when all the unix commands are in one place.. and you can click any one to do stuff | 00:01 |
| Mala1 | twinkie: Make sure you back stuff up. KDE 4 is, in my experience, VERY buggy... | 00:01 |
| RequinB4 | Can someone at least tell me if the fact i can't resolve packages.ubuntu.com my end or server end? | 00:01 |
| zonkers | how do i get ubuntu to come up without having to log in? | 00:01 |
| twinkie_addict | ok | 00:01 |
| Netham45 | RequinB4, I can resolve it. | 00:01 |

| Randomizer | Hi there, I upgraded today, and I'm having X hang everytime screensaver kicks in... (I restart with ctrl+alt+backspace), using the fglrx drivers... wondering if this is a known issue? | 00:01 |
| Mala1 | twinkie: Not back up, just if you're working on anything in KDE 4, save often. VERY often. | 00:02 |
| drivetrax | RequinB4, - no firewall.. open router, and open DSL/Cable modem.. ports open, is it ping-able? | 00:02 |
| Slart | RequinB4: works here | 00:02 |
| wubrgamer | drivetrax: it'll never happen | 00:02 |
| jorg1 | angasule, don't worry, and thanks, there's no drivers for creative sound cards yet in lnux, that's what i read | 00:02 |
| Megarata | I already did the sudo lshw -c network | 00:02 |
| wubrgamer | drivetrax: go dev for windows | 00:02 |
| drivetrax | lol | 00:02 |
| RequinB4 | Maybe it's just really laggy... I'll let it try to connect for a while | 00:02 |
| LinuxGuy1234 | !HI | 00:02 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:02 |

| Slart | zonkers: isn't there an autologin option in "System, administration, login" or something similar | 00:02 |
| zonkers | slart thx | 00:03 |
| atlanta80 | John_S: Yeah it connected, I'm reboot now to ensure everything is still fine | 00:03 |
| drivetrax | lady I know clicked on her 192 address 10,000 times, and with help from the ISP, finally the telephone equipment worked.. and she got her dsl back | 00:03 |
| Slart | zonkers: you're welcome | 00:03 |
| riddlebox | can anyone help me I cannot get cx88-alsa to load? | 00:03 |
| John_S | atlanta80: Great--should work on reboot. :) | 00:04 |

| shoot^ | guys, i get a kernel crash whenever i run glxinfo under hardy. any suggestions? | 00:05 |

| GabySoft | hi | 00:06 |
| Lardarse | !hi | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:06 |
| MrObvious | RequinB4: I found it. | 00:06 |
| ferbyboy | drivetrax: it most certainly is...i dont wont to have to have my ipod be the reason i switch my os to windows man | 00:07 |
| M4rotku | has any1 else noticed a lack of updates recently? i think my update checker might be misconfigured | 00:07 |
| RequinB4 | MrObvious: This is for me | 00:07 |
| maco | evolution crashed on me and now it won't start. it just says "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed." Anyone know what to do? | 00:07 |
| GabySoft | i had some problem with the restricted drivers with ati, its normal, isnt ? | 00:07 |
| frankyd | oO looks like wubi shut down my windows partition ... i mean i installed ubuntu on the same drive but this is working, whatever i'm not able to see the win drive on my ubuntu | 00:07 |
| MrObvious | RequinB4: http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx Go to download the drivers try 1. | 00:07 |
| MrObvious | RequinB4: It's for debian but it will have the .sys file you need. | 00:07 |
| Lardarse | GabySoft: ati on linux is not a happy marriage :-/ | 00:07 |
| maco | M4rotku: are you on hardy? there havent been any updates yet... | 00:07 |
| Scunizi | doubledew: sorry had phone call. If your bios settings have remained the same when install all OS's then if you want you could change them but that might mess up the grub reference and eliminate (probably the server) from booting. | 00:08 |
| GabySoft | yeah, i know XD nothing like my nvidia 440 mmx | 00:08 |
| GabySoft | slow, but nice | 00:08 |
| larson9999 | maco, i'm on hardy. i just got 36 updates | 00:08 |
| RequinB4 | MrObvious - I'm not sure what to do with the sys file at this point, all i can gleam is i need the firmware | 00:08 |
| atlanta80 | John_S: Well that is sufficiently aggravating. Restarted and the ndiswrapper module is loaded, but no wireless cards in ifconfig | 00:08 |
| maco | larson9999: i just did an apt-get update && aptitude full-upgrade and got 0 | 00:08 |
| M4rotku | maco: thanks for the fyi, i was starting to get worried | 00:08 |
| maco | larson9999: maybe it hasnt propogated to all the mirrors | 00:08 |
| annonymous1 | hi folks got a problem on gusty 7.10 just rebooted and it comes up with an error message | 00:09 |
| annonymous1 | http://pastebin.ca/1002348 | 00:09 |
| annonymous1 | gnome starts funny like in its defult fasion n no themes | 00:09 |
| larson9999 | maco, maybe | 00:09 |
| GabySoft | but its extrange, until now i dont had "excesively" problems with the automatizaded drivers | 00:09 |
| MrObvious | RequinB4: Do that and you WILL have the firmware. After that you should be able to get ndiswrapper to work. Download it first then get back to me. | 00:09 |
| GabySoft | now i get an black screen if i turn it on | 00:09 |
| team1432 | Hi, I've got a HH disk I burned from the ISO; if I want to upgrade from 7.10 LTS, can I do that using the CD, or do I have to have it download the upgrade? | 00:09 |
| GabySoft | no consoles, totally bloqued | 00:09 |
| John_S | atlanta80: Is wlan0 in your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 00:09 |
| maco | annonymous1: what happens if you just open a terminal and run "gnome-settings-daemon" without the quotes? | 00:09 |
| Lardarse | annonymous1: happens occasionally. i have no idea what causes it | 00:09 |
| kucuk | #list | 00:10 |
| Lardarse | kucuk: ? | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | team1432: if it's the alternate cd iso then yes you can use that. If it's the live cd No | 00:10 |
| maco | team1432: if its an alternate cd, you can upgrade from it | 00:10 |
| LjL | team1432: you can't do that from the CD, unless it's the alternate CD, as far as i'm aware | 00:10 |
| _rp | RequinB4: you still having problems? | 00:10 |
| GabySoft | and i see some preople take the same problem | 00:10 |
| atlanta80 | John_S: no, only the loopback interface | 00:10 |
| qt-x | dose sombody know ho to conect to irc on port 80 or 5050 ? | 00:10 |
| maco | evolution crashed on me and now it won't start. it just says "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed." Anyone know what to do? | 00:10 |
| RequinB4 | _rp: Yeah, but the problems are more of the nature "How do I do it", not "what to do?" | 00:10 |
| team1432 | Scunizi, maco, LjL: alright, thanks | 00:10 |
| Jakoo | whats the pastebin please? | 00:10 |

| jk_ | where is the trash located in filesystem | 00:10 |
| Lardarse | annonymous1: i've never had iot happen twice in a row, though | 00:10 |
| david_-_- | when i do this command sudo mv firefox /usr/local/firefox32 i get this error mv: cannot stat `firefox': No such file or directory, how do i fix this? | 00:10 |
| Lardarse | jk_: somewhere in ~ | 00:11 |
| Lardarse | i think it's ~/.trash | 00:11 |
| _rp | RequinB4: hmmm ok, everything seem ok but you just cant connect? really, try rutilt | 00:11 |
| effowe | how do i prevent my screen from going black after 10 minutes? | 00:11 |
| Scunizi | qt-x: which irc client? | 00:11 |

| Lardarse | effowe: screensaver settings | 00:11 |
| maco | david_-_-: is firefox in your current directory? | 00:11 |
| richard___ | Megarata, I can't find any definite solutions for your problem. sorry :\ | 00:11 |
| annonymous1 | maco http://pastebin.ca/1002349 | 00:11 |
| adil | its posible install vmware in hardy ? | 00:11 |
| web | i just installed 8.04 and I can't add any users, all of the buttons are greyed out. anyone else have that problem? | 00:11 |
| qt-x | pidgin | 00:11 |
| david_-_- | maco: no idea how do i find out? | 00:11 |
| RequinB4 | _rp: Nah, I know what is wrong, its just more difficult and time intensive when i don't have a direct connection to the internet on the box | 00:11 |
| effowe | lardarse: i went in there and theres only an option to turn screensaver on, not stop it from going black.. | 00:11 |
| annonymous1 | how did u fix it Lardarse | 00:12 |
| John_S | atlanta80: OK, that's a problem. Do a "gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and add "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" with some blank lines after it. Also I would highly recommend backing up your interfaces file tho before you modify it. | 00:12 |
| maco | david_-_-: well are you trying to move a file thats just sitting in whatever directory you're in or are you trying to move the default firefox? | 00:12 |
| Lardarse | effowe: you can tell it to shooce a screensaver in the list on the left | 00:12 |
| RequinB4 | MrObvious - i'm downloading the exe | 00:12 |
| drivetrax | effowe, - is there a (none) setting? | 00:12 |
| richard___ | web, press ‘unlock’ | 00:12 |
| Rigonn | How can I reformat my computer? | 00:12 |
| maco | david_-_-: the default firefox is just a symlink anyway | 00:12 |
| Rigonn | I'm using Ubuntu atm | 00:12 |
| david_-_- | maco: no there is no folder there | 00:12 |
| effowe | lardarse: well yes i realize that, i just wanted it to stay on forever, i turned off power management.. hrm, lemme look for none but i dont think its there | 00:12 |
| web | i thought unlock was to unlock a locked user | 00:12 |
| Lardarse | annonymous1: i don't know what causes it... | 00:12 |
| david_-_- | maco: i am trying to do this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins | 00:12 |
| === ubotuu is now known as ubottu | ||
| Lardarse | effowe: one of th4 checkboxes | 00:13 |
| Lardarse | the* | 00:13 |
| richard___ | web, no, it's like the padlock on Mac OS X | 00:13 |
| Scunizi | qt-x: although pidgin works for irc.. you're better off using xchat.. not xchat-gnome.. but at the end of the server line in any of them try /<port number> or :<port number> | 00:13 |
| MattJ | Rigonn: Install gparted | 00:13 |
| david_-_- | maco: i am on the installing 32bit edition of firefox..... | 00:13 |
| atlanta80 | John_S: done | 00:13 |

| maco | david_-_-: did you cd into the directory after you untarred it? | 00:13 |
| david_-_- | maco: yes | 00:13 |
| Bidget | hey guys Im having trouble installing packages, I get a weird error telling me that a package is trying to overwrite a .so file which is in a different package, and that the other package Im trying to install is trying to overwrite a .gz file... anyone know why this could be? | 00:13 |
| twinkie_addict | im installing kbuntu via wubi so if i have any issue ill let you know what the resolution was | 00:13 |
| drivetrax | twinkie_addict, LVM | 00:13 |
| effowe | lardarse: 2 checkboxes, activate screensaver when computer is idle, and lock screen, when they're unchecked my screen still goes black after 10 mins | 00:13 |
| Scunizi | qt-x: not sure if it's still true.. but freenode use to want you to connect using chat.freenode.net/8001 | 00:13 |
| GabySoft | ainssss... well i will take the manual thing if works | 00:13 |
| Lardarse | Scunizi: xchat expects port numbers to be like irc.freenode.net/6667 | 00:13 |
| Daisuke-Ido | twinkie_addict: may god have mercy on your soul | 00:14 |
| Simonf1 | bazhang: are you there? | 00:14 |

| twinkie_addict | lol | 00:14 |
| maco | david_-_-: cd .. | 00:14 |
| Scunizi | Lardarse: he was using pidgin.. not sure how that one works | 00:14 |
| maco | david_-_-: then do it | 00:14 |
| twinkie_addict | wubi worked fine with ubuntu | 00:14 |
| effowe | lardarse: could it be an x setting causing it? | 00:14 |
| nowimproved | iv got this ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso and went through the install untill almost the end and it asked fora different cd | 00:14 |
| John_S | atlanta80: If you don't see it in the Network program yet, I think you need to reboot. | 00:14 |
| david_-_- | maco: i get the err of no such directory | 00:14 |
| Lardarse | effowe: i wouldn't know | 00:14 |
| richard___ | Rigonn, can you be more descriptive? ‘reformatting’ isn't a real term | 00:14 |
| drivetrax | twinkie_addict, - cut out wubi, use unetbootin - 8.04 | 00:14 |
| effowe | aight.. | 00:14 |
| annonymous1 | maco do u have any ideas to the error | 00:14 |
| maco | annonymous1: no | 00:14 |
| qt-x | Scunizi:do you know if this irc server support conection on this port ? | 00:14 |
| Daisuke-Ido | twinkie_addict: you're installing both in separate installations? | 00:14 |
| atlanta80 | John_S: No, rebooting... | 00:14 |

| maco | david_-_-: i need to figure out where you are | 00:15 |
| nowimproved | it took forever to install then it just stops and asks for a different cd wtf? | 00:15 |
| twinkie_addict | i unistalled ubuntu to install kbuntu | 00:15 |
| maco | david_-_-: no | 00:15 |
| Lardarse | nowimproved: can you remember the error? paste.ubuntu-nl.oprg if it's more than 1 line | 00:15 |
| Scunizi | qt-x: this server wants typically 6667 or 8001. with 8001 use chat.freenode.net/8001 in xchat | 00:15 |
| effowe | ok firefox question if someone knows, in xp and osx i am able to press ctrl-1,2,3 whatever number and go to that tab, this doesnt work in ubuntu, anyone know how to enable it? | 00:15 |
| Simonf1 | Bidget: what packadges? | 00:15 |
| twinkie_addict | i hate running more than one test distro at atime | 00:15 |
| amnatz | 8.04 read usb 1.1 ? | 00:15 |
| maco | david_-_-: after you untarred that file it shouldve created a firefox directory | 00:15 |
| nowimproved | it was not an error Lardarse it was calling for a ubuntu cd labbled bleh i dont remember | 00:15 |
| Moc | Im disapointed of 8.04 so far. 7.10 worked better so far out of the box | 00:15 |
| Daisuke-Ido | twinkie_addict: you are aware they're the same thing | 00:15 |
| Rigonn | richard___: Reformat as in remove everything from my hard drive and reinstall a different OS... I want to make my Hard Drive as if NEW remove every single thing to install the OS | 00:16 |
| nowimproved | when it was trying to install grub at the end Lardarse | 00:16 |
| Bidget | Simonf1, libg15-1_1.2.3-1_amd64.deb and libg15render1_1.2.0.svn250-2_amd64.deb are the ones that are giving me errors | 00:16 |
| twinkie_addict | but standard ubuntu is still looking to be my choice | 00:16 |
| Daisuke-Ido | twinkie_addict: you could have gone into the ubuntu install and installed the kubuntu-desktop package | 00:16 |
| Lardarse | nowimproved: are you sure it was asking for anothe cd, and not telling you to take the cd out? and also, is this a clean install? | 00:16 |
| david_-_- | maco: http://pastebin.ca/1002358 | 00:16 |

| Lardarse | (also see the topic) | 00:16 |
| david_-_- | maco: i am still cd into the firefox folder on the desktop | 00:16 |
| Bidget | thanks Lardarse | 00:16 |
| nowimproved | yes it is a fresh install , and it wanted me to take the cd out and put in a different one, and i could not eject the cd anyway so i dont know what wtf was going on | 00:16 |
| Simonf1 | Bidget: somone else was in here with a similar problem that messed up the computerm but it does not seem to be the same | 00:17 |
| twinkie_addict | brb need to reboot | 00:17 |
| drivetrax | Rigonn, -- unsetbootin .. look into it.. I coulda wiped out both my drives.. grub/SuperGrub | 00:17 |
| RequinB4 | MrObvious: Am i just following the tut there? | 00:17 |
| MrObvious | Yeah for obtaining it. | 00:17 |
| Wicky656 | is there any way to get daily system stats emailed to me via cron? | 00:17 |
| drivetrax | uhm.. unetbootin | 00:17 |
| MrObvious | RequinB4: Basically open a terminal, go to your home folder, and it has you make a tmp directory then download it. | 00:17 |
| Rigonn | drivetrax: what?!? I'm confused | 00:17 |
| effowe | when rotating the desktop cube i would like to see the windows on the other faces, they are blacked out though, anyone know how to change this? | 00:17 |
| Bidget | Simonf1, yeah my computer is fine its just these packages wont install and I dont understand why, Ive never had a problem with synaptic before | 00:17 |
| nowimproved | its bs wtf? | 00:18 |
| richard___ | Rigonn, boot from the installation media for the OS. even Windows has a primitive partition editor | 00:18 |
| drivetrax | Rigonn, unetbootin has grub that will download via network.. and it will wipe out what you have.. if you tell it to | 00:18 |

| Simonf1 | Is the ubotu factoid list down for other people too? | 00:51 |
| smee | Simonf1: i'm not sure...is it where i go to open up the network settings window? | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Simonf1: yes | 00:51 |
| Moc | reinstalling 7.10 damnit | 00:51 |
| Simonf1 | Megarata: no | 00:51 |
| bbyever | Konam: ok | 00:51 |
| Megarata | it's that b43-fwcutter crap useful for real? | 00:51 |
| _flu_ | i upgraded to hardy heron.. and installed kopete. but the taskbar doesn't flash when i recieved a message.. pidgin also don't flash too.. i checked all prefs, but find no answer yet.. | 00:51 |
| damaltor_ | anybody using kde4 here? would be nice if someone could tell me a little about it | 00:51 |
| Simonf1 | smee: yes | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Megarata: then yes, download it on windows, put it on the partition that linux can see, then run it under ubuntu | 00:51 |
| tarkus | whats the name of the default archive manager for ubuntu/gnome ?? | 00:51 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, what would you like to know? | 00:51 |
| Simonf1 | smee: click on it, what does it say? | 00:52 |
| === Bllasae is now known as Bllasae-Away | ||
| patifa | phoenixsol: I've seen it. While updating, I think. | 00:52 |
| drivetrax | Megarata, -- I think you might be able to use windows to download a file to an NTFS partition under ubuntu. | 00:52 |
| anoble | hello after selcecting Install Ubuntu and seeing the Ubunru, and the little orange thing go across the screen, the screen goes black after about 5min and wont process | 00:52 |
| Moc | _flu_: pidgin is anoying in 8.04, when you double click on the icon of new message in the tray, it doesn't always bring you to the message | 00:52 |
| === Bllasae-Away is now known as Bllasae | ||
| richard___ | alpharesearch, is there both a user and group named ‘cindy’? | 00:52 |
| anoble | oh wait | 00:52 |
| Megarata | but, how can i download the same stuff that the Synaptic thingie has? | 00:52 |
| drivetrax | Megarata, -- nothing stops you from downloading to an accessible area under windows, and seeing a local drive | 00:52 |
| phoenixsol | patifa, thanks. (I was intalling a package, come to think of it) | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | drivetrax: Megarata he should have access to his windows partition, under Linux, so just download the file under windows, remember where it is, then go to linux, and navigate your ntfs partition, and run it under linux | 00:53 |
| bbyever | Konam: done. they are still not recognized | 00:53 |
| smee | Simonf1: i know the icon, but i don't remember | 00:53 |
| sielnt_ | I'm loving the flash firefox crashes every 10 seconds | 00:53 |
| alpharesearch | <richard___> yes | 00:53 |
| _flu_ | Moc: it's also same in kopete | 00:53 |
| richard___ | Moc, are you sure you're not supposed to just click the icon once? | 00:53 |
| omgshoes | hey | 00:53 |
| sielnt_ | is everyone else having crash problems with firefox+flash? | 00:53 |
| Simonf1 | smee: don't remember what> can you access the computer now? | 00:53 |
| Cameron | Hi. My boot hangs at setting up network interfaces.. hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL causes the boot process to finish.. any ideas ? | 00:53 |
| alpharesearch | <richard___> I can see it under user settings and groups settings | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | sielnt_: no | 00:53 |
| Moc | richard___: once or twice, it does the same thing, I have to find back in what desktop pidgin message window it is and activate it ... very annoying | 00:53 |
| acecase | hello | 00:53 |
| drivetrax | IndyGunFreak, -- yes.. that is true.. but weird .. why download under windows.. when apt-get can go after these packages made for linux | 00:54 |
| koudelka | sielnt_, yes, and it's a reported bug with high priority | 00:54 |
| Megarata | ok, how am i supposed to see my windows from ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| _flu_ | moc: oh, sorry. i got the messages.. taskbar doesn't blinks, thats all.. | 00:54 |
| adrian_2002ca | helllo all... | 00:54 |
| GhotiPhud | I've got a minor problem with the radeon driver on my laptop. When I output to the LCD and TV, the refresh rate is really slow. | 00:54 |
| omgshoes | anyone know why my steam games are blinking on wine? | 00:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | drivetrax: because linux doesn't recognize his wireless connection, if you'd have paid attention to him | 00:54 |
| sielnt_ | koudelka: it's been happening for the entire alpha/beta development | 00:54 |
| smee | Simonf1: i installed it as dual-boot...and i'm using the computer now (in windows) | 00:54 |
| adrian_2002ca | how do i use metacity to make window borders transparent | 00:54 |
| sielnt_ | koudelka: sorta expected it to be fixed by release... | 00:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | he needs to download his wireless firmware | 00:54 |
| tarkus | whats the name of the default archive manager for ubuntu/gnome ?? | 00:54 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: i just did run the livecd, and kde4 looks very good. but is it good? i like the desktop widgets thing.. any problems? how about desktop effects? more/less then compiz? does compiz work if i want to use it? how? i am using xfce on a small notebook and have a debian console server too, im not a beginner. i like kde because its nice and works fine, but i want to know how easy and how stable kde4 is before re-setup of my pc ... | 00:54 |
| Konam | bbyever you have to close your session and log in again | 00:54 |
| Moc | _flu_: sometime it doesn't, Im not sure about taskbar bliking, I dont remember if it blink in 7.10 | 00:54 |
| damaltor_ | ... here. do you know any real advantages and disadvantages to kde3? | 00:54 |
| smee | Simonf1: i'm pretty much going on memory right now | 00:54 |
| bbyever | Konam: ok brb | 00:54 |
| acecase | I use tversity in windows to convert video to flash 7 and stream it to my wii on the fly. Is there anything for ubuntu that will do the same? | 00:54 |
| Simonf1 | hold on | 00:55 |
| sielnt_ | damaltor_: the menus get hella messy | 00:55 |
| drivetrax | IndyGunFreak, -- Ohhhhh! Yeah.. they found One wireless that will not work with Hardy | 00:55 |
| richard___ | alpharesearch, does chmod say anything else? | 00:55 |
| GhotiPhud | I've got a minor problem with the radeon driver on my laptop. When I output to the LCD and TV, the refresh rate is really slow. Can anyone shed some light on the issue? | 00:55 |
| damaltor_ | sielnt_: how that? | 00:55 |
| Moc | Im very disapointed at 8.04 release, it been hell for me all the way (ok well not hell, but close to it) | 00:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | drivetrax: it wil work, just like it does on all versinos of linux, it just requires special firmware | 00:55 |
| Simonf1 | smee: http://kirsten.urbanzone.com/blog/uploads/misc/ubuntu_network_manager.png | 00:55 |
| Kevin` | http://pastebin.ca/1002399 - what do I have to do to get vmware working on ubuntu 8.x? | 00:55 |
| alpharesearch | <richard___> no, only try help form mor information | 00:55 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, kde4 isn't feature complete and they are saying that themself. so you will notice glitches and things that are just missing | 00:55 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, they mainly focus on developers and early adaptors atm | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Moc: i think its awesome, no probs here... one on pc i just built, 1 on an old pc, and 1 on a fairly new laptop | 00:56 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: so better wait for 4.1 or 4.2 or something? | 00:56 |
| snadge | richard___: there used to be an option in debian whether you wanted to set your system clock to UTC or localtime? why is ubuntu not this flexible? | 00:56 |
| shoot^ | richard___, could this be significant? "Warning: LookupDrawable()/SecurityLookupDrawable() are deprecated. Please convert your driver/module to use dixLookupDrawable()." | 00:56 |
| sielnt_ | damaltor_: I prefer the logical layout of the gnome panel. I find kde3 to be more windowsish... a mishmash of unrelated launchers | 00:56 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, yes, 4.1 will be out in about 3 month | 00:56 |
| sielnt_ | damaltor_: kde4 is a lot better | 00:56 |
| snadge | and regardless of what its set to, shouldn't the "automatic" part in ubuntu fix that? | 00:56 |
| richard___ | acecase, try WINE | 00:56 |
| Megarata | damn | 00:56 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, they relese bug fixes each month and a major feature release every 6th month | 00:56 |
| Megarata | i connected it via cable to the router and still no freaking internet | 00:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | its gonna take a lot more than kde4 for me to even consider using it. | 00:57 |
| shally87 | hi.. | 00:57 |
| shally87 | do i need antivirus for ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| jrib | shally87: no | 00:57 |
| sielnt_ | shally87: no | 00:57 |
| Kevin` | shally87: not really. | 00:57 |
| L | Um can anyone help me with this....? | 00:57 |
| GhotiPhud | haha | 00:57 |
| twinkie_addict | its bit to get used too not sure i like the sled menu | 00:57 |
| L | http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/1charmed1/Screenshot.png | 00:57 |
| sielnt_ | shally87: welcome to linux, by the way | 00:57 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: well, my girlfriend wants to have linux too now after seeing compiz in action and having another hundred viruses on win. i am searching for her, too. the system ought to be nice and complete, without big problems. | 00:57 |
| smee | Simonf1: i have the icon with the double monitors, but i can't get anything with wireless networks | 00:57 |
| isdepopecath | What's a good program for unarchiving .rar? | 00:57 |
| Megarata | so, this thing do nothing... no wireless, no wired | 00:57 |
| damaltor_ | sielnt_: better in what? | 00:57 |
| shally87 | kevin`; WHY? | 00:57 |
| arkansas | hello | 00:57 |
| drivetrax | Megarata, - say you cannot get out with a cable? | 00:57 |
| Megarata | that's amazing | 00:57 |
| twinkie_addict | but i can boot intoo windows just fine | 00:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | shally87: unless you're using it to protect windows machines(ie, you're acting as a server), its very unlikely you need it. | 00:57 |
| Cameron | Hi. My boot hangs at setting up network interfaces.. hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL causes the boot process to finish.. any ideas ? | 00:57 |
| jrib | L: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:57 |
| nonewmsgs | i have a sandisk cruzer 8gb fat32 thumb drive. it works fine in linux but it freezes windows systems. are there any fat tools like fsck or chkdsk for it? | 00:57 |
| smee | Simonf1: i don't get that little window that you showed | 00:57 |
| sielnt_ | isdepopecath: unrar or unrar-free | 00:58 |
| shally87 | sielnt: thanks | 00:58 |
| NateF | guys, im getting a CD mount error, it cant mount the CD-ROM, i have the menu, what should i do now? | 00:58 |
| richard___ | snadge, that's probably possible, but I don't know how you do that :) | 00:58 |
| L | Um... what? | 00:58 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, for a beginer gnome is better. the whole point of gnome is to be super simple | 00:58 |
| isdepopecath | sielnet_: Thank you. | 00:58 |
| jrib | !pastebin > L (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:58 |
| L | I'm new. | 00:58 |
| sielnt_ | koudelka: amen | 00:58 |
| Megarata | Well, i hope that 8.10 IS ready for wireless | 00:58 |
| Kevin` | anyone? help with vmware? | 00:58 |
| jrib | !who | L | 00:58 |
| ubottu | L: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:58 |
| GhotiPhud | I've got a minor problem with the radeon driver on my laptop. When I output to the LCD and TV, the refresh rate is really slow. Can anyone shed some light on the issue? | 00:58 |
| Moc | IndyGunFreak: It was very anoying to get it running in dual head on my desktop (nvidia) new xorg screen res configurator is useless. Language switch shortcut was remove/replaced . Now try to upgrade my Dell Desktop to get a blackscren at reboot, tryed to boot the install Cd and same result. New VNC clients suck, can't access ubuntu 7.10 default vnc server, had to install console vnc clients... | 00:58 |
| jrib | !vmware > kevin` (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | !antivirus | 00:58 |
| ubottu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 00:58 |
| shally87 | indygunfreak: if i using for developing website no need right?? | 00:58 |
| jrib | !rar > isdepopecath (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:58 |
| koudelka | still i think gnome sometimes is to big and round, make it look like a toy | 00:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | shally87: i wouldn't think so. | 00:58 |
| shally87 | ok | 00:58 |
| shally87 | thanks indy | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | shally87: hang on, i'll give you a link to explain it | 00:59 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: i dont really like gnome (though i must admit that i never used it long time) and i am used to kde and dont really want to change (and i would have to if i want to help her... =) ) | 00:59 |
| NateF | what should i do for CD-ROM mounting error | 00:59 |
| Kevin` | jrib: so there's no way to make it work? | 00:59 |
| shally87 | !linuxvirus | 00:59 |
| ubottu | The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 00:59 |
| arkansas | Hi. I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.10. The upgrade didn't complete and I have lost my desktop? | 00:59 |
| shally87 | ok | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | shally87: nevermind, thats the link i was gonna give you | 00:59 |
| shally87 | owh.. | 00:59 |
| mfe | Congratulations on the new release | 00:59 |
| shally87 | indy: thanks | 00:59 |
| Moc | considering moving back at 7.10, but It anoying that I might be stuck with the same issues at 8.10 | 00:59 |
| shally87 | brb | 00:59 |
| jrib | Kevin`: what do you mean? I gave you the link about vmware. Do you have a specific question other than "help with vmware?" | 00:59 |
| richard___ | isdepopecath, File Roller. you might also need to install the ‘unrar’ package | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Moc: what nvidia card do you have? my dual screens work fine | 01:00 |
| jrib | L: do you understand what you need to do? | 01:00 |
| NateF | what do i do for a cd rom mounting error? need help!!! | 01:00 |
| Kevin` | jrib: yeah.. let me find it in my backlog | 01:00 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, well it depends what you are going to use the system for. kde4 is a lot easier then kde3 that has become bloated with tons of configuration windows and stuff | 01:00 |
| sielnt_ | NateF: you'd do well to pastebin the actual error | 01:00 |
| isdepopecath | richard___: Yea, I'm getting the 'unrar' package right now | 01:00 |
| GMWeezel | can I change my desktop icon alignment grid size? | 01:00 |
| Kevin` | jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1002399 - what do I have to do to get vmware working on ubuntu 8.x? | 01:00 |
| Kevin` | just the console, not the kernel part | 01:00 |
| Moc | IndyGunFreak: I finally got it to work, Nvidi 8600 GT. Had to install nvidia drivers (from the repo)(first time I try to load it, it say it was already installed but not running) | 01:00 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: do you know some examples of what does not work in kde4 / what is missing / what could be annoying/disturbing/...? | 01:01 |
| arkansas | Is 8.10 ok to run on a laptop? | 01:01 |
| jrib | Kevin`: how did you install it? | 01:01 |
| asizemore | yes | 01:01 |
| NateF | it says that same that i said: "a setup error accuried, error: mount CD-ROM", then its bring me to the main menu after i hit enter | 01:01 |
| Kevin` | jrib: tar | 01:01 |
| jrib | arkansas: 8.10 does not exist | 01:01 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, kde 4.0.0 was kinda hard to use in my opinion because there were quite a few annoying things, but now they are at 4.0.3 and it's becoming better | 01:01 |
| mfe | firestarter reported an attack from youtube - should i be concerned? | 01:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Moc: well, all you would have to do was enable in hardware driver manager, then install nvidia-settings, and thats it. | 01:01 |
| arkansas | jrib: 8..... | 01:01 |
| jrib | arkansas: 8.04? sure | 01:01 |
| shel_len | How can I switch video drivers for the console? | 01:01 |
| Moc | Once drivers is install, I had to install the nvidia-settings(no idea why it not installed with the driver) | 01:01 |
| maco | evolution | 01:01 |
| maco | bah | 01:02 |
| microwaver | anyone know how to install custom themes. I can't seem to start the 'Theme Installer' | 01:02 |
| NateF | it says that same that i said: "a setup error accuried, error: mount CD-ROM", then its bring me to the main menu after i hit enter | 01:02 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: are there some really noticeable glitches or things tht really could be missed? | 01:02 |
| larson9999 | in hardy when i chose shutdown it starts shutting down but hangs until i do ctl+alt+backspace. is this a known issue or something specific to my machine? | 01:02 |
| Moc | IndyGunFreak: normally yes, problem is on my first install, it show the drivers as already installed.. | 01:02 |
| arkansas | ok | 01:02 |
| maco | anyone know why id get this error trying to run evolution? Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. | 01:02 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, well for me i think the menu and start panel is still incomplete. you can add things to it but you can't move them around. and if you mess things up you kinda have to reset it all | 01:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Moc: but were they enabled? | 01:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | there's a difference | 01:02 |
| GMWeezel | can I change my desktop icon alignment grid size? | 01:02 |
| NateF | Pelo: i have a mount error, can u help me out? | 01:02 |
| arkansas | jrib: I started the upgrade and it didn't complete. now my desktop is gone? | 01:02 |
| jrib | Kevin`: did the wiki page ubottu send not help? | 01:02 |
| xyphor | I see some people are having problems with 8.04 and their keyboard not responding. I'm having that problem too. USB legacy support is disabled in my BIOS (one suggested fix) | 01:02 |
| Moc | so I installed it manually, but that didn't work(crash at every reboot) but someone told me I just had to remove some package and it would have work fined | 01:03 |
| mfe | microwaver did you start it from the applications menu? | 01:03 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, but as long as you aren't messing with the start panel it's working well | 01:03 |
| Kevin` | jrib: ubottu just said "not for hardy" | 01:03 |
| richard____ | alpharesearch, did you have any success? | 01:03 |
| Pelo | GMWeezel, I've been looking for the same, the only thing I found is in nautilus, prefs, compact spacing ,or some such | 01:03 |
| jrib | Kevin`: didn't he give you a link to a wiki page? | 01:03 |
| Pelo | NateF, what's the drive what's the fs and do you have a mount point ? | 01:03 |
| NateF | i have the following error on installation: it says that same that i said: "a setup error accuried, error: mount CD-ROM", then its bring me to the main menu after i hit enter | 01:03 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: so, would you give it a try for a beginner? | 01:03 |
| Moc | IndyGunFreak: it was installed, Enable but `Not in Use` | 01:03 |
| microwaver | mfe, no, it's not in thtat list | 01:03 |
| alpharesearch | <richard___> no | 01:03 |
| microwaver | mfe, I used deskbar applet | 01:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Moc: ok.. | 01:03 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, other then that, the thing that is missing in kde4 is really applications using the qt4.4 libary and giving them the kde4 look | 01:03 |
| Moc | anyway, after a reinstall and an update to a different repos, it finally show as not installed | 01:03 |
| GMWeezel | Pelo: Alright, thanks. it's a popular annoyance in gnome but i was hoping that maybe after all the complaining they had fixed it. | 01:03 |
| jrib | arkansas: can you be more specific? What exactly happened? What errors did you get? | 01:03 |
| NateF | drive C hard drive, whats fs?? how do i make a mount point? | 01:04 |
| Pelo | GMWeezel, I'm not saying you can'T fine tune it somewhere, I just haven'T figured it out yet, try looking it up in the forum | 01:04 |
| mfe | microwaver go to sys pref main menu and add it | 01:04 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: so lots of apps look like kde3 still? | 01:04 |
| DanApredistro | hi I want to modify my psmouse.ko file. I read that best way is to create a file in modprobe.d I would like to chat with someone more on this. is anyone familiar with what I am talking about? | 01:04 |
| shadowblade | Hello, I'm trying to get my wireless working on my Dell e1505 with Hardy. I've added the driver for my card with the Windows Wireless Drivers gui. Everything tells me its working - the status light for the wireless is green, ubuntu says its working, etc. But it can't find any networks. I've checked the network with another computer and it works fine. iwlist scaning says 'No scan results' for wlan0. Any ideas? | 01:04 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, yes, there are apps that looks like kde 3 still | 01:04 |
| Pelo | NateF, this is your windows partition you are tying to mount ? inside ubuntu ? | 01:04 |
| skyhook19 | Hi, does anyone here no things about encrypting folders? | 01:04 |
| Moc | IndyGunFreak: It probably a bug that when the install has NOT sync with the repository atless one, it show bad informations | 01:04 |
| skyhook19 | *know | 01:04 |
| GMWeezel | Pelo: been there, have been looking for some months actually. im certain the source code can be edited but i don't want to go through all that every time i watn to change the grid | 01:05 |
| NateF | i dont have any partitios right now | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Moc: its not a bug | 01:05 |
| Kevin` | jrib: the page doesn't have any instructions for 8.x | 01:05 |
| L | jrib: I don't really understand. | 01:05 |
| microwaver | mfe, where can I find it? | 01:05 |
| NateF | i have my main hard drive partition | 01:05 |
| L | The page I was sent to is in German. | 01:05 |
| Pelo | NateF, use my nick when talking to me, it helps me keep trck | 01:05 |
| Cameron | any ideas why "ifup tap0" would hang ? | 01:05 |
| plath | Hi, I have switch between full screen and windowed when i launch fullscreen application (games...) | 01:05 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, that's why they are saying it's mostly for developers. it's not because it's anything wrong with it, it's just so that developers can start using it and convert their applications | 01:05 |
| alpharesearch | <richard___> but there is a first line of the error message I previously over looked chmod: invalid mode cindy:cindy - sorry | 01:05 |
| NateF | pelo: sorry | 01:05 |
| Pelo | NateF, do you have ubuntu installed or are you trying to isntall it ? | 01:05 |
| Moc | IndyGunFreak: well, saying that it installed and enable when it not installed... I call that a BUG | 01:05 |
| bbyever | Konam: its fixed, thanks! | 01:05 |
| richard____ | NateF, try using the ‘check CD for defects’ function | 01:05 |
| zelrikriando | eh Pelo | 01:05 |

| damaltor_ | mfe: no, not really. just ignore it. if there are lots of warnings, someone really tries to attack you. that single warning could just have been some ip scanner or something. if you want to be sure, disconnect and reconnect from the internet. | 01:21 |
| crdlb | microwaver: don't even bother with that | 01:21 |
| Pelo | microwaver, go back to the page for that theme on gnome-look and read the description, what kind of a theme is it ? | 01:21 |

| zappitelli16 | Is there anyway to adjust screen brightness through gutsy? | 01:22 |
| Pelo | crdlb, what kind of theme is that ? | 01:22 |
| crdlb | microwaver: ignore the "compiz themes" section on gnome-look; it should have been deleted a long time ago | 01:22 |
| Xavier_ | isn't that kind of pointless seeing as how the live image won't save settings or anything? | 01:22 |

| Xavier_ | any ideas? | 01:23 |
| zionpsyfer | Xavier_: Agreed, I've not run Wubi before. It it supposed to act as a normal install AFAIK. Just fishing here, but have you rebooted after the install without the cd? | 01:23 |

| * Pelo will collect , some day | 01:24 | |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: thanks for that. your desktop is REALLY tidy. =) | 01:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubnub: depends on how much resizing you're doing | 01:24 |
| Xavier_ | ziopsyfer: like i said, the CD is not in the drive - i installed Ubuntu using Wubi, then i rebooted, i chose Ubuntu in my list, then it showed my desktop and started the partitioner, i canceled the partitioner and now i'm in the live cd | 01:24 |
| Pelo | ubnub, depends , on how big and if you defraged it a few times before hand | 01:24 |
| ubnub | I've been waiting about 20 miniutes and it's still on 0% | 01:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubnub: i would say there's probaby something wrong | 01:25 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, on the gnome page you can see how a default gnome system looks like without changing anything | 01:25 |
| Pelo | ubnub, it's movinng stuff around, expect at least an hour it's a tricky process | 01:25 |

Everything tells me its working - the status light for the wireless is green, ubuntu says its working, etc. But it can't find any networks. I've checked the network with another computer and it works fine. iwlist scaning says 'No scan results' for wlan0. Any ideas? | 01:26 |
| Xavier_ | any ideas? | 01:26 |
| cgillogly | in gutsy i added ssh-add to my session to be prompted for my ssh key passphrase at login so i can have passwordless logins to my servers, however if i do this in hardy, it still prompts me when i go to login to a server...any ideas / help on what changed and what i need to do to get the same thing to happen in hardy? | 01:26 |

| arkansas | "run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible"? | 01:28 |
| damaltor_ | koudelka: that really looks nice. is some way, gnome just looks like xfce wich im pretty used to | 01:28 |
| zionpsyfer | Xavier_: If you are at the livecd desktop or saw the partitioner, then you may not have finished with wubi. Wubi is able to install the files on the windows partition. | 01:28 |

Whenever a program uses the internet my cpu spikes to 40%-60%-100% -- ive run top while an internet page is loading youtube and i see mozilla causing it however if i do anything in apt this also causes the spikes so im finding it difficult to determine what is causing it. I used to run Gutsy which was fine except no wifi i was wired in, then i ran Hardy Beta 5 which was brilliant, wifi and no lag, then when i upgra | 01:28 |

| koudelka | damaltor_, yes you are right with that. but i personally i know more gtk apps so for me it's not a problem in gnome as i never have to use a kde app | 01:34 |
| Simonf1 | bazhang: those would be great though | 01:34 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, the spikes cause the system to become unusable untill they settle | 01:34 |
| NateF | Pelo: should i let ubuntu change my partitioning tables, keep in mind, i have no data on it i need or use | 01:34 |
| koudelka | damaltor_, but if i want to use one, i think kde apps looks better in gnome then gnome in kde | 01:34 |

| hamled | I was in the middle of of upgrading to 8.04 (at the stage where I was downloading package updates) and I lost my network connection and it got cancelled. Now the update-manager no longer gives me any upgrade options (and says there aren't any packages to update). Also, when I run it from the command line it says 'current dist not found in meta-release file' | 01:38 |
| Bodsda | fluidd, just change a few things to matchur usb file type etc -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab?highlight=(fstab) | 01:38 |
| Judeglass | i can see all of the APs around me | 01:38 |
| jerbear | i have a launcher that has its icon specified as a relative path... where is the default location that icons are looked for? | 01:38 |
| richard____ | Edualc1, choose ‘view’, ‘filter’, then enter terms such as ‘sane’, ‘scan’, and so on | 01:38 |
| Judeglass | but i can't connect to any of them | 01:38 |
| andreskru | damaltor_, i used gutsy 32 bit and never take more than 300 mb | 01:38 |
| bazhang | LjL: sorry to log off yesterday-->was installing ubuntu-desktop | 01:38 |
| koudelka | andreskru, vista now does the same, cashing up all ram to improve performance. linux has been doing this for quite some time | 01:38 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, no i havent tried because he said it was for lockups -- extensions?what do you mean partitions? -- yes this is hardy | 01:38 |
| fluxy | I think it goes simply ./configure, make and make install. but make doesn't work | 01:39 |
| damaltor_ | andreskru: hmm maybe then the 32bit version needs just less ram... but i dont think thats a problem. work with it a time and see if it is slower. | 01:39 |
| Bodsda | fluxy, have u done sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 01:39 |
| bazhang | Bodsda: no I mean how many extensions in FF? like rss feeds, adblock plus etc. | 01:39 |
| fluxy | yes | 01:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | fluxy: probably because configure is coming back w/ errors, what are you trying to compile? | 01:39 |
| andreskru | koudelka, i had use gusty 32 bit and doesnt take that amount of memory | 01:39 |

| Edualc1 | I give UP | 01:40 |

| IntangibleLiquid | the totem box appears but when I click on the play button the whole box just goes grey | 01:40 |
| Scientus | would it be possibel to do a duel setup where two partitions are mounted as a merge, with generally the same directory structure, and putting files on wither would show up on the main tree? | 01:40 |
| adamsad1 | Are iptables set up in Hardy to be secure, or are they open? | 01:40 |
| koudelka | andreskru, you can open your system monitor to see if there's a particular program taking much ram | 01:40 |
| fluxy | IndyGunFreak: ./configure is ok. It's an applet for the xfce panel | 01:40 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, oh erm -- its not a FF issue because apt lags aswell but i have 1 - ubuntu firefox modifications 0.5 | 01:40 |
| Scientus | is merge mounting possible | 01:40 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: this is with compiz on? | 01:40 |
| koudelka | andreskru, sort by memory in the processes tab | 01:40 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: yes | 01:40 |
| Bodsda | fluxy, can u pastebinthe errors for make | 01:41 |
| bazhang | Bodsda: that is odd; let me check something | 01:41 |
| hamled | I was in the middle of of upgrading to 8.04 (at the stage where I was downloading package updates) and I lost my network connection and it got cancelled.

| Bodsda | bazhang, ok, cheers dude | 01:41 |
| Daisuke-Ido | hey, does anyone know if RT73 support has improved in hardy? | 01:41 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: what happens with compiz off? (ie disabled) | 01:41 |

| NateF | hay guys, if im going to host game servers, i dont need any security with ubuntu right?? | 01:41 |
| koudelka | andreskru, many tabs open in firefox can take a lot of memory | 01:41 |
| fluxy | Bodsda: The only error and output is-> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 01:41 |
| Bodsda | hamled, do you et the update choice if you run sudo update-manager -d ?? | 01:41 |
| andreskru | koudelka, im sendind you a screenshot | 01:42 |
| Bodsda | fluxy, are you in the correct directory?? is there a makefile ? | 01:42 |
| crispy-- | I have a problem with my sound. Im using spdif, but the sound gets distorted no matter what i set the volume to. Also, nothing happens when i set different output devices in gnome-sound-properties (or w/e that program is called) | 01:42 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: I haven't tried that yet. Testing now | 01:42 |
| fractal420 | Hello, im trying to change my main menu ubuntu icon.. I know it has something to do with gconf-editor but im not sure on the exact steps.. can anyone help? | 01:42 |
| fluxy | Bodsda: Yes to both | 01:42 |
| richard____ | NateF, did you install Ubuntu Server? | 01:42 |
| koudelka | andreskru, i'm not registered, you have to send me a link here to the screenshot | 01:42 |
| hamled | Bodsda, yes, thank you! | 01:42 |
| bluevapour_ | Hey guys anyone here good with IRQ's | 01:42 |
| Bodsda | fluxy, try ./makefile | 01:42 |
| Scientus | would it be possibel to do a duel setup where two partitions are mounted as a merge, with generally the same directory structure, and putting files on wither would show up on the main tree? | 01:42 |
| Bodsda | hamled, your welcome | 01:43 |
| NateF | richard___: no the desktop version, im going to get server when i know more about linux | 01:43 |
| Dilemma | I upgraded to hardy and xmms is gone .when I sudo apt-get install . it tells me there >>E: Package xmms has no installation candidate >> is this a repository issue? | 01:43 |
| Bodsda | fluxy, wait er -- no ./make | 01:43 |
| andreskru | koudelka, mmm i dont have that | 01:43 |
| Scientus | should i post my q on the forums if noone here awnsers? | 01:43 |
| Bodsda | hamled, no aain sudo make | 01:43 |
| bazhang | Scientus: overlapping partitions? not clear what you mean here | 01:43 |
| Bodsda | again* | 01:43 |
| bluevapour_ | Anyone? | 01:43 |
| Fishscene | bluevapour_, that's pretty low-level, what isn't functioning correctly that you need to go that deep? | 01:43 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: the same thing happens. It just goes gray | 01:43 |
| fluxy | Bodsda: Actually there are Makefile.am and Makefile.in | 01:44 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: have you tried different players? | 01:44 |
| bluevapour_ | Fishscene, basically, i was having a problem with my net going down after going afk, so i reinstalled from scratch etc, but i have noticed something | 01:44 |
| fractal420 | Hello, im trying to change my main menu ubuntu icon.. I know it has something to do with gconf-editor but im not sure on the exact steps.. can anyone help? | 01:44 |
| ibleed | Dilemma, you should try audacious i think its called. xmms is no longer active or included in hardy | 01:44 |
| o0Chris0o | I am running compiz system manager, trying to disable the effect for the titlebars on windows. It disapeaars when it loses focus | 01:44 |
| Bodsda | fluxy, read the README file? | 01:44 |
| bluevapour_ | When i install from scratch, interupts are collected on core 1 for ethernet, but when i install nvidia and get both monitors working, eth0 collects interupts on core2 | 01:44 |
| o0Chris0o | anyone know how to diable that | 01:44 |
| koudelka | andreskru, you can easily upload it to a site like http://bayimg.com/ | 01:44 |
| bluevapour_ | Is that ok, or is that a bug? | 01:44 |
| Bodsda | o0Chris0o, find the appropriate plugin in ccsm then disable it | 01:44 |
| osmosis | anyone use vbox to put the vm on the local network rather then the NAT ? | 01:45 |
| koudelka | andreskru, and then post the link to it here | 01:45 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: I tried installing Mplayer and VLC, their pluggins appeared in the addons box. I then disabled the totem pluggins. But things went worses. It was like nothhing was there when I entered an online music site. | 01:45 |
| o0Chris0o | Bodsda, thats the problem, I am going through them all, I can't seem to find it | 01:45 |
| lilg111111 | anybody know a good music editor that adjust pitch and speed | 01:45 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: and you have all the codecs installed? is this for all vid files or just the one | 01:45 |
| Fishscene | bluevapour_, I don't know... I wouldn't think it would be a problem. | 01:45 |
| seancron | fractal420: try here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3825 | 01:45 |
| Bodsda | o0Chris0o, ok explain what this feature is exactly | 01:45 |
| richard____ | NateF, then you should read about making it more secure | 01:45 |
| koudelka | osmosis, i'm not even sure vbox has that feature | 01:45 |
| Scientus | bazhang, basically the use would be for encryption, one encrypted filesystem and one not, so it would be transparent to the os, there would have to be special cases for identical file names, and maybe the directory format wont work, but basically a file tree that is a merge between two filesystems with the same directory structure, that are both / and that depending on weather u want it... | 01:45 |
| Scientus | ...encrypted or not u put it on one drive or the other | 01:45 |
| fluxy | Bodsda: Both the install and readme files list the normal procedure "./configure, make, make install" that's all. | 01:45 |
| o0Chris0o | well once I installed compiz the windows title bar disappears when it loses focus, I don't want that to happen | 01:46 |
| NateF | richard____: ok, thanks, everyone here is so helpfull :) | 01:46 |
| seancron | lilg111111: audacity is pretty popular | 01:46 |
| bazhang | Scientus: these would be different distros such as ubuntu and suse? | 01:46 |

| bluevapour_ | Ok, where can i go to find out information about irq's | 01:46 |
| bluevapour_ | ? | 01:46 |
| cirkit | is there a fix for this? | 01:46 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: what site let me check | 01:46 |
| cirkit | I always have to end up restartng the computer ater | 01:46 |
| osmosis | koudelka: im reading all about it, but can't get it to work. | 01:46 |
| cirkit | after* | 01:46 |
| Scientus | no same distro, just allowing you to install something as encrypted if u would like | 01:46 |
| lilg111111 | seancron: i have it but it only has a speed option no pitch | 01:46 |
| cirkit | this is so annoying | 01:46 |
| FloodBot1 | cirkit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:46 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: I'm not sure if I have all the codecs installed. I only remember that I install the restricted extras package. Apart from that, nothing else | 01:47 |
| Fishscene | cirkit, there are issues with sleep mode and networking/sound | 01:47 |
| adamsad1 | How secure are the iptables by default? | 01:47 |
| Bodsda | o0Chris0o, i would best take the issue to #compiz-fusion | 01:47 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: what about the win32codecs from www.medibuntu.org | 01:47 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: sorry, it's a vietnamese site. But you can check the player by going to http://mp3.zing.vn/mp3/playlist/play.39739.html | 01:47 |

| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: trying now | 01:47 |
| Scientus | could you do a bind mount that is recursive and doesnt obscure existing files? bazhang | 01:48 |
| bluevapour_ | Freshscene you know anything about irqs? | 01:48 |
| seancron | lilg111111: do you need it just for play back or to record? | 01:48 |
| Simonf1 | bazhang: it seemed to have worked, I'll tell you for sure when im done restarting. | 01:48 |
| Fishscene | bluevapour_, a little- but not for an OS such as Ubuntu. | 01:48 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: i assume the restricted extras is enough. If it;s not, then plz help me with what's needed | 01:48 |
| bazhang | simonf1 best of luck | 01:48 |
| andreskru | koudelka, http://bayimg.com/PajjFaaBi | 01:48 |

| KRaZy_WaKa | and hello all | 01:49 |
| koudelka | andreskru, i can't see anything unusual there | 01:49 |

| ubottu | KRaZy_WaKa: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:50 |
| lilg111111 | seancron: just for playback im trying to make my own mix cd | 01:50 |
| bluevapour_ | Ok | 01:50 |
| jrib | !firewall | KRaZy_WaKa | 01:50 |
| ubottu | KRaZy_WaKa: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:50 |
| seancron | KRaZy_WaKa: i suggest firestarter for firewalls | 01:50 |
| Manko | for the record, to get rid of those options we have to delete the seahorse extension in nautilus (I got rid of seahorse completely :P). /usr/lib/nautilus/*/libnautilus-seahorse.so is the generic path | 01:50 |
| Edualc1 | Where would I find and answer to my scanner problem. I use sane and scanner is HP Scanjet 5300C. Press the scan button and system shuts down. | 01:50 |

| ibleed | Edualc1, you'd probably have more luck doing a google search or on ubuntuforums.org i think | 01:51 |
| Edualc1 | ibleed: thanks, I guess I'll have to | 01:51 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | will definitely grab firestarter then thanx again | 01:51 |
| viator | anyone know of a good bandwidth monitoring application | 01:51 |
| viator | ? | 01:51 |
| koudelka | andreskru, i see you have the system monitor applet on your upper panel. you can change the preferences for that one to show the memory usage and then you can see how much is used by application and how much is cache and you can see if it's reaching your limit | 01:52 |
| === sparr__ is now known as sparr | ||
| andreskru | koudelka, 500 mb ram!!!!!!!!! | 01:52 |

| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: the box goes grey for streaming, but the little green arrow (pointing downwards) works fine | 01:52 |
| lilg111111 | seancron: just what i need but can it save so it can be burned | 01:52 |
| andreskru | koudelka, 1 gb | 01:52 |
| ibleed | aevumdecessus, you dont have to use 6667 irc servers often use a range of ports you can connect to something as simple as /server irc.freenode.net 7000 or irc.freenode.net:7000 i dont remember (sorry this is offtopic) | 01:52 |
| koudelka | andreskru, then you have half left no problem | 01:52 |
| seancron | lilg111111: o that what i meant by recording | 01:52 |
| andreskru | koudelka, but before i use 250 whit gutsy | 01:52 |
| viator | hmmm no tclue huh | 01:53 |
| koudelka | andreskru, but did you have those programs running then? | 01:53 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | linux so kicks M$'s butt | 01:53 |

| === _RandyboY is now known as RandyboY | ||
| koudelka | andreskru, you shouldn't worry. ram is there to be used if it's not used it's wasted | 01:54 |

| ibleed | WhoNeedszzz, very often a restricted driver is replaced by a kernel module that might not work :( only thing i can suggest is look in your restricted hardware manager or try ndiswrapper with windows drivers | 01:54 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: does not work for me. It opens other pages some of which are broken. | 01:54 |

| richard____ | aevumdecessus, most IRC servers offer a range of ports which you can connect on. check the server's message of the day or the network's Web site | 01:55 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: so it doesn't work for you either | 01:55 |
| Al2O3 | does ubuntu have a cli java runtime available by default? | 01:55 |

| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: I just selected rhythmbox when hitting the green arrow and it streamed fine (instead of firefox) the site itself appears to be very badly coded so it seems the problem is on their end not ubuntu's | 01:56 |
| koudelka | andreskru, and are you sure it's 500? counting the ram usage i can see on your picture it's more like 300-350mb | 01:56 |

| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: btw, that's the download button :) | 01:57 |
| bazhang | IntangibleLiquid: well the best way to do it is either use rhythmbox to stream or use the green arrow--> alot of those green arrows lead to empty sites though | 01:58 |

| tonyyarusso | Dimitree: I don't have a 3100, but I'm told they're just fine. | 01:59 |
| bazhang | Dimitree: best way to know is to run the livecd; there are still some bugs to work out--this is a laptop? if so what wireless card | 01:59 |
| IntangibleLiquid | bazhang: thanks for trying | 02:00 |
| ManBlue | Hello, I'm new...very very new | 02:00 |

| eboyjr | seancron, Thank you for the link! | 02:00 |
| ibleed | eboyjr, when you get in the habit of not typing sudo it more probably you'll use it when it might mess things up but if your insistant, you can work like super user doing sudo su or is it sudo -i ? one of the two | 02:00 |
| Dimitree | bazhang it's not a laptop :) running on DG31PR intel motherboard with integrated GMA 3100 and Dual Core E2200 | 02:00 |

| Dimitree | I had some terrible trouble to set my screen refresh rate higher then 60 when i tryed the 8.04 a montha go i think | 02:01 |
| bazhang | Dimitree: mostly intel stuff then? will likely face few worries then | 02:01 |
| seancron | eboyjr: i'd listen to ibleed though. do it only if you know what you are doing. its worth some minor annoyance to avoid a huge system crash | 02:01 |
| ManBlue | sure, how do I make a small partition to install ubuntu without erasing the whole hard drive | 02:01 |
| ubuntu | can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu? It keeps telling me "no root file system is defined" | 02:02 |

| Mattevt | sorry I worded that poorly | 02:05 |
| jackal | how do i uhow do i use the framebuffer? | 02:05 |
| seancron | eboyjr: if you mistype a command you can seriously injure your system | 02:05 |
| drivetrax | Mattevt, -- think, Sessions | 02:05 |
| ManBlue | bazhang | 02:05 |
| eboyjr | seancron, Okay. | 02:05 |
| ManBlue | bazhang gottcha | 02:05 |
| jackal | how do i use framebuffer? | 02:05 |
| bazhang | Dimitree: no idea about that--sounds difficult to do if you dont buy a mac though | 02:05 |
| Mattevt | I'm sorry? I'm new to linux, as of yesterday | 02:05 |

| DBautell | ubuntu `/msg nickserv help` | 02:06 |
| drivetrax | ubuntu, -- too late now, it is taken | 02:06 |
| bazhang | ManBlue: the resize device will take care of that--just be sure to back up important data (as always) when doing something like this | 02:06 |
| ibleed | seancron it sure is nice of you to see to it he understands that | 02:06 |
| jackal | Dr... how do i use the framebuffer? | 02:06 |
| xpoint | ubuntu, see freenode.net homepage | 02:06 |
| bazhang | ubuntu read the link given to you | 02:06 |
| eboyjr | Whats new in Hardy? | 02:06 |
| [T]an3 | my network dropped just after i asked my question... so i did not see if there were any replies... sorry to have to re-ask. | 02:07 |
| drivetrax | bazhang, thanks for setting me up with Ubuntu.. it's great. A great big tweak | 02:07 |
| ManBlue | bazhang alright | 02:07 |
| x1250 | eboyjr: no one is going to answer that... | 02:07 |
| [T]an3 | when i am running in a single desktop mode my compiz stuff works perfect. | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | jackal, the menu.lst has kernel options to enable various modes for the framebuffer, ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 The vga= sets the default res. I think the framebuffer may be disabled by default under hardy. Once you have the framebuffer enabled you can use the fbset and other commands to tweak it on the fly | 02:07 |
| eboyjr | x1250, lol | 02:07 |
| [T]an3 | however when running in dual screen mode it does not. | 02:07 |
| bazhang | www.fsckin.com has the details (in Easy English) eboyjr | 02:07 |
| tinin | x1250 you did | 02:07 |
| [T]an3 | any ideas? | 02:07 |
| [T]an3 | i am using aticonfig for my desktop setup | 02:07 |
| Mattevt | OK, I'll slightly reword it. I need ubuntu to recognize when I'm unplugged from the external monitor. I'm new to Linux as of yesterday so as detailed instructions would be helpful. | 02:07 |

| fde | shadowpool: Would appear so... my apologies. | 02:26 |
| Onyx | let me be the first to say that uninstalling nvidia drivers manually is a pain in the ass. | 02:26 |
| phoenix180 | for this PC it's ok-I want to completely write over windows | 02:26 |
| RequinB4 | John_S thats not the issue | 02:26 |
| shadowblade_ | John_S: sorry, lost my connection for some reason | 02:26 |
| Mattevt | it sees that no monitor is connected but the resolution is skewed when I turn on the computer, and when I adjust the resolution the buttons on the taskbar are skewed and Apps places System are on the right instead of the left | 02:26 |
| red22 | i want to change my theme... everything. icons, menu colors, backgrounds, login, .. is there a single file/thingy that packages all those things so i can just double click it and have it all applied? (or as close to simple as possible?) | 02:26 |
| drivetrax | phoenix180, OMG.. well C.. You might not want to partition .. you could resize C, and install Ubuntu on it.. or, seperately onto D.. depends what you got on that drive | 02:26 |
| phoenix180 | the only concern I have is for the tv tuner | 02:26 |
| seancron | phoenix180: who doesn't :P | 02:26 |
| shadowblade_ | John_S: I followed the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760568 and i've still got nothin | 02:27 |
| ibleed | phoenix you can nuke them and do what i said to have a good working partitioning scheme that you might thank me for later :) | 02:27 |
| === shadowpool is now known as Mike_1 | ||
| Simonf1 | red22: search google for something like that | 02:27 |
| phoenix180 | saving the data? | 02:27 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade_: do you have an internet connection> | 02:27 |
| drivetrax | phoenix180, i might ask what TV tuner you got there | 02:27 |
| bazhang | red22: this is for hardy? | 02:27 |
| t3rm1n4l | j #pitivi | 02:27 |
| drivetrax | cas like 7.10 and ati cards are iffy | 02:28 |
| phoenix180 | no clue-it came with the PC | 02:28 |
| shadowblade_ | Simonfl: wired, yes | 02:28 |
| orgain | hi there | 02:28 |
| red22 | Simonf1: i see some sites that have backgrounds and things individually, but i'm not finding a all-in-one package | 02:28 |
| red22 | bazhang: 8.04 | 02:28 |
| phoenix180 | sony pcv-w600g | 02:28 |
| arvind_khadri | is hardy all right with EXT3?? | 02:28 |
| fde | arvind_khadri: I'd think so... it's the default file system ;) | 02:28 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade_: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 02:28 |
| skinnymg1 | no its not on the list | 02:28 |
| orgain | arvind_khadri, shure why not? | 02:28 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade_: then restart | 02:28 |
| bazhang | red22 dl the themes you want into a folder then install new themes (from appearnaces) chose from that folder | 02:28 |
| shadowblade_ | Simonfl: already installed | 02:28 |
| arvind_khadri | fde, the mailing lists show that there is some kinda bug with that | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | arvind_khadri, most people use ext4 | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | arvind_khadri, most people use ext3 i mean. :) | 02:29 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade_: and you restarted? | 02:29 |
| shadowblade_ | Simonfl: yep, a few times | 02:29 |
| skinnymg1 | it works in cheese but i cant get it to work with my stream | 02:29 |
| bazhang | red22: you can get themes from a nubmer of places--> gnome-look.org is one | 02:29 |
| fde | arvind_khadri: Ubuntu is used by (tens of) millions, and almost all use ext3... I think it'll be fine! | 02:29 |
| phoenix180 | I have saved the data from it before-I had to keep reinstalling windows on it before using that system restore option | 02:29 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade_: 1. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 2. Change “blacklist bcm43xx” to “#blacklist bcm43xx” 3. Restart. You should get a restricted driver message. 4. Enable restricted drive. 5. Restart and you are good to go | 02:30 |
| RequinB4 | Simonf1 - ANY thoughts for getting it done without internet | 02:30 |
| sparr | why the hell does my dist-upgrade fail, but it can continue when i re-run it? | 02:30 |
| arvind_khadri | Dr_willis, i too do :) am doing upgrade now,was checking mails and saw lots of ppl having trouble and having to re-install | 02:30 |
| phoenix180 | geez-louise I have been fighting with this since this morning | 02:30 |
| Simonf1 | RequinB4: see last messege | 02:30 |
| bazhang | red22 /msg ubottu themes for more links | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | arvind_khadri, im having issues with 'other' things. :) | 02:30 |
| red22 | bazhang: hold on i will try on and see if it has all the changes i'm looking for ty :) i'll get back to you. | 02:30 |
| bazhang | red22 no worries ;] | 02:31 |
| arvind_khadri | Dr_willis, :) | 02:31 |
| Mattevt | so no one has had a problem when switching from dual to single monitor | 02:31 |
| shadowblade_ | Simonfl: Ok, restarting | 02:31 |
| John_S | Simonf1: It seems like shadowblade might still have problems because his driver is all ready installed via ndiswrapper--he needs to disable that to follow your procedure--don't you think? | 02:31 |
| bazhang | sparr: it is timing out? what is the exact issue please | 02:31 |
| RequinB4 | Simon - OK, and for enable restricted drive i should just manually install the firmware (assuming it needs a download) | 02:32 |
| phoenix180 | ok is it possible to start a new partition and then sort of adjust it or tweak it to have most of the space in the newly created partition? | 02:32 |
| arooni | please someone tell me how to get a tftp server up and running on ubuntu? please someone tell me how to get a tftp server up and running on ubuntu? | 02:32 |
| sparr | bazhang: it fails because a package install/upgrade fails | 02:32 |
| eboyjr | Should I install Hardy now? | 02:32 |
| eboyjr | its alpha though | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | eboyjr: ? hardy isn't alpha | 02:32 |
| RequinB4 | eboyjr: Hardy is post-release | 02:32 |
| Simonf1 | John_S: I did what he did and it worked, only problem is I did 3 things at once without restarting so I'm not sure which one worked | 02:32 |
| bazhang | eboyjr: may want to wait depending on if you have laptop or desktop | 02:32 |
| eboyjr | Ohhhh..... Who wants to update Wikipedia for me? :) | 02:33 |
| eboyjr | bazhang, desktop | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | eboyjr: you're not usign ppc are you?.. i guess that might still be alpha | 02:33 |
| eboyjr | Wikipedia says hardy is alphs | 02:33 |
| John_S | Simonf1: So your driver is installed with ndiswrapper too? | 02:33 |
| bazhang | eboyjr: best bet is to run livecd first | 02:33 |
| techqbert | hey guys, if I used a script to tarball ~/ and than rsync, would rsync just update the .zip on the backup disk with w.e binary values are new | 02:33 |
| eboyjr | IndyGunFreak, I dunno what ppc is :( | 02:33 |
| TalibJayid | hi | 02:33 |
| RequinB4 | !hi | 02:33 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:33 |
| TalibJayid | anyone using a soundblaster x-fi in linux? | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | eboyjr: mac hardware | 02:33 |
| Simonf1 | John_S: oh, ndiswrapper, sorry. I tried that and failed | 02:33 |
| === me is now known as tmapj | ||
| eboyjr | IndyGunFreak, Nope: Dell | 02:33 |
| eboyjr | piece of crapola | 02:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | eboyjr: ok, then its final release, has been a few days | 02:34 |
| eboyjr | IndyGunFreak, Okay, thanks | 02:34 |
| rockysynergy | Hey can any of you how to "run gdb | 02:34 |
| rockysynergy | first, and then run inkscape from within gdb" | 02:34 |
| eboyjr | bazhang, Why's that? and not through the Update Manager? | 02:34 |
| nowimproved | this is the second time this happened to me , and i dont know what to do , it is at the end of the install and asks to insert a different disc durring it trying to install grub | 02:34 |
| shadowblade | Simonf1: Ok...I did that, but didn't get the restricted drivers window, so I checked it and the broadcom driver isnt listed there anymore | 02:34 |
| John_S | Simonf1: I think shadowblade having his driver installed via ndiswrapper, and then also trying to use the restricted driver instead, could be a problem. | 02:34 |
| RequinB4 | Everyone seems to be saying ndiswrapper fails with the Broadom43 issue | 02:34 |
| Judeglass | odd. | 02:34 |
| Zackymc_k | does anyone have a problem with vista blue screening after ubuntu install? it boots after force shutting it down but takes forever to get working... Any ideas??? | 02:34 |
| bazhang | eboyjr: well if you are ready for possible bugs-->what video card nvidia or ati | 02:35 |
| Squa7ch | in 8.04, how would I get to the Shared Folders settings like in 7.10, System>Administration>Shared Folders, where would that be in 8.04? | 02:35 |
| shadowblade | John_S: The restricted driver isn't listed anymore, and its still not working | 02:35 |
| eboyjr | bazhang, ati (really, really old) | 02:35 |
| eboyjr | bazhang, rage 128 pro | 02:35 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade: look here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 02:35 |
| eboyjr | or something | 02:35 |
| Judeglass | found after much searchign that for the ipw2200 driver in Hardy Heron: rmmod ipw2200 then modprobe ipw2200 brings it back up fully functional | 02:36 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade: John_S had another idea too | 02:36 |
| shadowblade | Simonf1: I did that once before and that made my wireless device disappear...it was listed before that, but it just wasn't picking up any networks when I know mines working | 02:36 |
| nowimproved | it says please insert the disc labled ubuntu bleh bleh and i cant even open the drive for one | 02:36 |
| Judeglass | while it appears to be working automatically | 02:36 |
| bazhang | eboyjr: well if you have sufficient ram and willing to deal with some outstanding bugs may be worht it; if gutsy is good fro you now may want to hold off | 02:36 |
| Judeglass | it doesn't quite | 02:36 |
| RequinB4 | John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - The restricted drivers manager suggests not using bcm43xx | 02:36 |
| AlabamaHit | what does The composite extension is not available mean. It tells me that when i try to enable the Extras in Visual Effects. | 02:36 |
| bazhang | nowimproved: disable the cd as repo source in synaptic | 02:37 |
| eboyjr | bazhang, I dont have any ram ;) ( 512 MB ) .... I'll make a CD... I need one anyway :) | 02:37 |
| eboyjr | bazhang, Thanks | 02:37 |
| Simonf1 | RequinB4: what do you mean? If it is the only thing we have... | 02:37 |
| sparr | how can i switch from mythbuntu to ubuntu or kubuntu splash screens? | 02:37 |
| bazhang | no worries eboyjr ;] | 02:37 |
| RequinB4 | John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb | 02:37 |
| Squa7ch | in 8.04, how would I get to the Shared Folders settings like in 7.10, System>Administration>Shared Folders, where would that be in 8.04? | 02:37 |

| ehc | when I start ubuntu there is no sound working, I just have to reset alsa and it will start working. Why could this be? Is there I way I can change this? | 02:38 |
| RequinB4 | John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - is the file that W failed to get when trying to install via the manager | 02:38 |
| nowimproved | bazhang, i am using the alternative installer disc | 02:38 |
| shadowblade | RequinB4: whats that and/or where is it? | 02:38 |
| John_S | RequinB4: Where does the restricted driver manager say it does not recommend bcm43xx? | 02:38 |
| Mattevt | okay in "Monitor Resolution Settings" I de-select "Clone Screens" hit apply, then close. but when I go back into Resolution Settings, clone screens is checked again. | 02:38 |
| bazhang | nowimproved: not at all-->just go into synaptic and is this already installed? | 02:38 |
| [T]an3 | what is the gui for compiz? | 02:38 |
| [T]an3 | where can i adjust settings? | 02:38 |
| bazhang | ccsm [T]an3 | 02:38 |
| [T]an3 | ahhh thats right, thanks | 02:38 |
| nowimproved | bazhang, i am running the installer for a fresh install and this message comes up when installing grub and i cant take the installer disc out right now anyway | 02:39 |
| jonas3d | is there a way to clear out packages that have failed to install but apt-get keeps trying to reinstall when running dpkg reconfigure -a ? | 02:39 |
| Dimitree | ok ill try OSx .__. | 02:39 |
| bazhang | ehc in sound preferences change from autodetect to alsa | 02:39 |
| nowimproved | it is right at the end of the install process | 02:39 |
| drivetrax | [T]an3, - i get at it by right clicking the desktop.. and looking at them | 02:39 |
| nowimproved | it wont let me do anything i cant continue and finish the install | 02:39 |
| RequinB4 | John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - Not blacklisted, just suggests the fwcutter of a different driver (b43 fwcutter). PATH = archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcuttr_011-1_i386.deb I assume everyone has i386 | 02:40 |
| bazhang | nowimproved: does it stop? can you ignore the message? | 02:40 |
| skinnymg1 | so theres no way to get my cam working if its not on the list | 02:40 |
| skinnymg1 | yes | 02:40 |
| RequinB4 | John_S shadowblade Simonf1 - this is the error W gives when trying to let hardware drivers automatically install what was needed w/o a internet conneciton | 02:40 |
| bazhang | hangon skinnymg1 | 02:40 |
| shadowblade | RequinB4: that link is 404 | 02:40 |
| Simonf1 | im using b43 fwcutter | 02:40 |
| Farnaby | Anybody have any ideas why clicking on the azureus icon won't launch it? | 02:40 |
| nowimproved | bazhang, i cant do anything | 02:41 |
| John_S | shadowblade: I think if you want to use Simonf1's suggestion you need to uninstall the ndiswrapper driver--you can't use them both simultaneously. | 02:41 |
| bazhang | http://www.linuxlove.org/2007/11/12/linux-webcam-microsoft-lifecam-nx-6000-on-ubuntu-and-fedora/ check this list skinnymg1 | 02:41 |
| Hoenikker | ok, i give up, i can't get the brother MFC 685 CW working ever since i got 8.04 | 02:41 |
| hamled | After upgrading to 8.04, while it appears that compiz is working (I get the wobbly windows and such), my previous settings have disappeared, and I can't seem to enable the emerald theme manager. When this happened in gutsy, there was an option in the preferences menu called "GL Desktop" that I guess would reload compiz, but that option is no longer available. How would I go about enabling the emerald themes and possibly getting my deskto | 02:41 |
| shadowblade | John_S: how do I get the restricted driver back then? | 02:42 |
| RequinB4 | shadowblade - should be an e in cutter (not cuttr) | 02:42 |
| bazhang | hamled: what about alt f2 emerald --replace | 02:42 |
| n2diy | My flash card reader stopped responding, how can I restart it? | 02:42 |
| bazhang | nowimproved: what disk is it asking for? | 02:42 |
| sparr | wtf @ akiradnews install script popping up a GUI dialog?!? | 02:42 |
| RAID | hey guys | 02:42 |
| Zackymc_k | does anyone have a problem with vista blue screening after ubuntu install? it boots after force shutting it down but takes forever to get working... Any ideas??? | 02:43 |
| RAID | I cant seem to get Java work on Firefox 2 on Ubuntu | 02:43 |
| jonas3d | ok i'll rephrase this... dpkg will not let me install anything with out reconfiguring but the reconfigure fails when it reaches the package that has failed. Can I kill that package out from being reconfigured? | 02:43 |
| eriqjaffe | Is there some trick to getting conky to recognize if Sonata is running or not? | 02:43 |
| RequinB4 | Simonf1 - as you know, b43 blacklists bcm43xx... Maybe this is supposed to happen, i'm just jotting down notes | 02:43 |
| bazhang | Zackymc_k: not really an ubuntu issue; not sure about vista problems here | 02:43 |
| John_S | shadowblade: To remove ndiswrapper, I think all it might take is "sudo rmmod ndiswrapper" and check there is no ndiswrapper listed in /etc/modules either. | 02:43 |
| hamled | bazhang, thanks, that worked to get my themes back :) now I just need to figure out how to get the desktop settings I had, since they never seemed to work from the "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" app, I had to set them up in the GL desktop application | 02:43 |
| LunaFreeState | Raid: Install the restricted software package | 02:44 |
| shadowblade | John_S: ok, restarting again | 02:44 |
| RAID | ooh | 02:44 |
| LunaFreeState | Raid: It has java in it | 02:44 |
| Zackymc_k | i will ask HP | 02:44 |
| RAID | ok | 02:44 |
| ibleed | RAID, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras often fixes that problem for people i think its sun-java6-bin and one other one i can't remember | 02:44 |
| John_S | shadowblade: Did you make sure ndiswrapper isn't in the file /etc/modules? | 02:44 |
| n2diy | How can I restart a hotswap device, like an SD card? | 02:44 |
| nowimproved | bazhang, the ubuntu-8.04 which is how i am installing it and it is in the drive | 02:45 |
| RAID | I ran across that package and downloaded it but then I did a complete removal at that moment, so I'm going to install it again | 02:45 |
| jihsro | hey is it quicker to get ubuntu from a torrent or an ftp server? | 02:45 |
| RequinB4 | The b43 driver only works for Broadcom chipsets bcm4306 rev 4 and later I'm told - use bcm43xx driver and bcm43xx-fwcutter for bcm4306 rev 3 and earlier. | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | jihsro, at this time the torrents are MUCH faster | 02:45 |
| YouKnowMe | Is there anyway I can run FF 2.0 instead of the beta, until my fav extensions become compatible | 02:45 |
| bazhang | nowimproved: and there was fail install package? | 02:45 |
| RequinB4 | I'm rev 3, so that's why | 02:45 |
| bazhang | jihsro: torrents | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | YouKnowMe, you can isntall ff2. Or you can use the 'nightly tester tools' extensioon for FF3 to force it to use the ff2 extensions | 02:46 |
| bazhang | YouKnowMe: sure just install it | 02:46 |
| RAID | direct download | 02:46 |
| lowlux | how do i reset compiz fuse? | 02:46 |

| fengyulu | Hi everybody!!! | 02:46 |
| bazhang | lowlux you mean disable? alt f2 metacity --replace then alt f2 compiz --replace | 02:46 |
| John_S | shadowblade; Did you make sure ndiswrapper isn't in the file /etc/modules? | 02:46 |
| gaspipe1 | hey people | 02:47 |

| lowlux | i mean reset the compiz setting from when i frist installed it. | 02:47 |
| bazhang | lonran: mount? | 02:47 |
| phoenix180 | would I have a better chance of installing 7.10 first and then trying to upgrade from there? | 02:48 |
| shadowblade | John_S: sorry, what all do I need to do to remove ndiswrapper again? I think I might have forgotten something besides that | 02:48 |
| egc | dudes | 02:48 |

| shadowblade | Simonf1: the wireless device still isnt even showing up | 02:49 |

| bazhang | nks_: what about vlc or other players | 02:49 |
| LunaFreeState | egc: Try looking to see it the short cuts are on | 02:49 |
| phoenix180 | one more question: is it a terrible idea to delete the C partition? | 02:49 |
| MacDaddy | nvm all | 02:50 |
| pete___ | lol | 02:50 |
| bazhang | phoenix180: only if you are trying to dual boot ;] | 02:50 |
| shadowblade | John_S: Ok, it was listed in /etc/modules, so I removed it | 02:50 |
| nks_ | I've tried VLC but was unable to get it to work ! Is there a code that i need to type in terminal? | 02:50 |
| drivetrax | phoenix180, - you got disk to install windows back on it? | 02:50 |
| phoenix180 | ohh I see | 02:50 |
| sourgrape | only if you don't want to ever use windows again :) | 02:50 |
| shadowblade | Simonf1: I think when i installed the b43 drivers, it broke something | 02:50 |
| John_S | shadowblade: Great, now reboot again and we'll see where you're at. | 02:50 |
| shadowblade | John_S: ok... | 02:50 |
| drivetrax | phoenix180, using the same disk manager.. (ie, installer boot loader) no problem | 02:50 |
| RequinB4 | Whoever is still working on broadcom - did it work in gutsy | 02:50 |
| LadyNikon | so .. | 02:50 |
| IntangibleLiquid | nks_: vlc works fine for me. try running it from the terminal to see what's wrong | 02:51 |
| Simonf1 | shadowblade: broke what? | 02:51 |
| Gustov | sooo | 02:51 |

| shadowblade | John_S: nope, its not there after adding that line | 03:10 |
| saxofoner | Bricker: did you hook it up with nvidia-settings? | 03:10 |
| bazhang | ChoboMog: have you apt-cache search amarok for any plugins? | 03:10 |

| garry | sourgrape: you're not the only one ^_^ it looks like WoW isn't opening up anymore | 03:10 |
| John_S | shadowblade: OK, I think you need to reboot then. | 03:10 |
| shadowblade | John_S: ok... | 03:10 |
| garry | sourgrape: however, my .wine folder is still kickin around, is it ok to simply delete it? | 03:10 |
| SirBob1701 | astro76: yup thanks | 03:10 |
| o0Chris0o | I miss playing WoW, but when i play that...I have no life :( | 03:11 |
| sourgrape | garry - yep, you can kill it safely | 03:11 |
| nowimproved | yup that worked i had to go into console unmount the drive | 03:11 |
| nowimproved | then remount it | 03:11 |
| garry | sourgrape: ok, great. So now, theoretically... I should be able to reinstall wine and it would have default settings? | 03:11 |
| nowimproved | ridiculous | 03:11 |
| sourgrape | garry - in theory, yeppers | 03:11 |
| Shpoo2 | o0Chris0o: Linux has saved my marriage due to not being able to play WoW. | 03:12 |

| o0Chris0o | its a addicting | 03:12 |
| ChoboMog | bazhang: What do you mean by apt-cache. Sorry, I'm familliar with some things on Ubuntu, but Im still relatively new. | 03:12 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: that is a drm'd wmv--some MS products likely could not play it | 03:12 |
| foxhop | Shpooked: I doubt it. | 03:12 |
| shadowblade | John_S: still not in the network manager | 03:12 |
| HorizonXP | hey, I'm having trouble running Guild Wars. I can't type into the account info box, it seems to pass through to the Ubuntu desktop. Any ideas? | 03:12 |
| Shpooked | foxhop: Doubt what? | 03:13 |
| ChoboMog | bazhang: Also, if it makes any difference, Audacious (another audio polayer for Linux) plays stereo mp3's etc in surround no problem | 03:13 |
| bazhang | ChoboMog: if you open a terminal you can type apt-cache search keyword (mp3 for example) and then get a list of everything related to that | 03:13 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: i was still playing wmvs last night though, the only thing i did that might've messed it up was uninstall the totem plugin and reinstall it. | 03:13 |

| slowlearner | hi i'm having this "undefined reference to `uuid_generate_time'" when compiling eventhough uuid-dev is installed.. anyone knows why? | 03:13 |
| John_S | shadowblade: You sure "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" is in your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 03:13 |
| Shpooked | Oh thanks, that reminds, my last question for the night: Is there a program that will allow you to edit wmv meta-tags? | 03:14 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: aye, some wmv's will play-->that link gave no file at this url error | 03:14 |
| shadowblade | John_S: yes, I put it right at the beginning with 3 blank lines after it | 03:14 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: alrighty then, i'll look around at some other stuff and see what i can dig up, you look like you've got your hands full here. thanks anyway | 03:14 |
| phoenix180 | under 7.10, I'm on the Prepare disk space part of the installation: now instead of the two options(guided-use entire disk and manual), I now have three: guided-resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) and used free space and underneath it says: New partition size: __________51%(76.0GB)__________ now-do I continue using this method and what exactly does this all mean? does this mean that I am choosing(default) to use 51% | 03:15 |
| bazhang | ChoboMog: perhaps in the short term stick with audactious (or whatever is best) til someone comes up with a way to do it otherwise | 03:15 |
| shadowblade | John_S: All that shows up in the network manager is Wired Connection and Point to point connection (my laptop has a dial up modem) | 03:15 |

| firedice | I consier my self a noob...1 week old | 03:18 |
| John_S | shadowblade: OK, I'm sorry because I don't think I can help you any more with your Broadcom chip card. I installed my card a bit differently with ndiswrapper than the way you probably will have to (if you end up taking that route), because you have to also disable the restricted BCM drivers. So if that link you sent me about doing that for your card didn't work, your best bet may be to post... | 03:18 |
| John_S | ...at ubuntuforums.org with all your details. Or maybe someone else here can help. Good luck though. :) | 03:18 |

| John_S | wisedude: You can't do it from System > Admin > Network? | 03:20 |
| Judeglass | similar to little snitch in OS X | 03:20 |
| rokumanxes | Hello, everyone. I need some help, if anyone can. My network connection isn't working properly. | 03:20 |
| rokumanxes | Rather, the icon doesn't do what it did... 1 left-click brings up connection properties. | 03:20 |
| seancron | Mattevt: if you can figure how to switch between the two you could write a script | 03:20 |
| wisedude | John --> I'm still having trouble | 03:21 |

| red22 | i want to try alternative menubars/launchers but i don't want to lose my settings for my current gnome panel layout... the only way to remove it is to "delete this panel".. can't i just temporarily take it off and then restore it? or back it up? | 03:21 |

| searcher135 | i installed ubuntu hardy from wubi and it froze earlier and i had to do a hard reboot. when i restarted, it went to a busybox screen and when i restarted in recovery, it said root.disk was not found. i believe it is corrupt because root.disk is still listed in my vista file system. is there anyway i can repair the root.disk file without having to reinstall ubuntu and losing my settings? | 03:23 |

| red22 | dmsuperman: i'm trying to back it up completely... i want to get rid of it bc when you move to side or "hide" it, it still shows a little lip that is annoying. i want to try the new dock for a week or so at least to give it a try. | 03:23 |
| rokumanxes | wlan0 is not working... | 03:23 |

| sourgrape | arooni - just a guess, probably 192.168.0.1 | 03:23 |

| sourgrape | Aristocle - is the keyboard responsive? (numlock will light up, etc?) or is the hard drive light pegged? | 03:44 |
| bazhang | anoble envyng-gtk for hardy will help you install the proper drivers | 03:44 |
| Aristocles | i don't think either. lemme look... | 03:44 |
| DG19075 | anoble: you can also go to the configuration editor, and check off Screens and Graphics under Other. Then you can select your driver and monitor | 03:45 |

| HorizonXP | can someone help me with Guild Wars on Wine in Hardy? | 03:45 |
| anoble | bazhang: sudo apt-get envyng-gtk ? | 03:45 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: are you still there? | 03:45 |
| rokumanxes | Yes. | 03:45 |
| HorizonXP | I'm trying to reset my account password, and it hangs at the Connecting screen | 03:45 |
| anoble | bazhang: install* | 03:45 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install anoble | 03:45 |
| sourgrape | heh, for shockwave, I just installed IE and WINE | 03:45 |
| sourgrape | well, crossover anyways | 03:45 |
| patifa2 | Wouldn't Firefox for windows + shockwave work just as well under wine than dangerous IE? | 03:46 |
| jrib | tuxus: you need shockwave, not flash | 03:46 |
| jrib | patifa2: sure | 03:46 |
| sourgrape | I'm not too worried about what IE on WINE will do - but yea | 03:46 |
| SitUbuntuSit | I have safari with flash and shockwave | 03:46 |
| sourgrape | for me it just solved a couple of problems - work sites coded specifically to IE, etc | 03:47 |

| anoble | bazhang: yes i did that what now? | 03:47 |
| leprasmurf | how can I downgrade mythtv-frontend to the .20 version if there is no "force version" option in synaptic? | 03:47 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: is there a section for wlan0 in the ifconfig output? | 03:47 |
| joshvittetoe | if anybody can help me, i have some installation questions. im getting some errors, pm me. thanks | 03:47 |
| rokumanxes | Yeah. | 03:47 |
| bazhang | anoble: launch it | 03:47 |
| tuxus | ubottu: thx, got it. see if I can get that to work | 03:47 |
| ubottu | tuxus: Error: "thx," is not a valid command. | 03:47 |
| * patifa2 pokes patifa. | 03:47 | |

| rokumanxes | AndrewBuck: Yeah, there is. | 03:47 |
| matthias | Hi why does not wireless work when SSID is invisible ??? | 03:47 |
| jrib | tuxus: ubottu is a bot | 03:47 |
| leprasmurf | jrib: what would I type to find that? "apt-cache search mythtv-frontend"? | 03:47 |
| Alives | is there an official gutsy-hardy upgrade guide? | 03:47 |
| jrib | leprasmurf: apt-cache policy PACKAGE | 03:47 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: is it configued with an ip address, inet_addr is i think what it says | 03:47 |
| kdorf | anybody gotten pulse to work in ZSNES? | 03:48 |

| wnoiseII | hello people. have an odd issue with rdesktop, where it will connect to some XP Pro machines, and hang on others on a black screen, with a recurrent error of EAGAIN in strace. Anyone experienced this? | 03:48 |

| hvgotcodes | is it safe to upgrade to HH? | 03:48 |
| BillRoth | has there been any trouble with 8.04. Is it work the upgrade? | 03:48 |
| Aristocles | sourgrape, keyboard flashes on power up, then...nothing. it's like bios can't finish init, or something. | 03:48 |
| leprasmurf | jrib: no, just the .21 version | 03:48 |
| wnoiseII | hvgotcodes: upgrade from GG went without a hitch for me. | 03:48 |
| rokumanxes | AndrewBuck: No there isn't one... | 03:49 |
| itrebal | hvgotcodes: from what I'm seeing, you should give it a few weeks | 03:49 |
| leprasmurf | jrib: could it be a different repository maybe....? | 03:49 |
| itrebal | hvgotcodes: 50% of upgrades (~10) have failed | 03:49 |
| * anoble is restarting | 03:49 | |
| patifa2 | BillRoth: Careful with restricted drivers (as usual) and with SATA | 03:49 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: try "ifup wlan0" | 03:49 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: you'll have to sudo that | 03:49 |
| BillRoth | patifa2: thanks. Looks like I should wait. | 03:49 |
| xim | is it normal for compiz.real to take 90% of the 2.4ghz cpu if all im running is the cube | 03:49 |
| `MrMoo- | can anyone help me install drivers for a wireless network card? | 03:49 |
| sourgrape | aristocles - if you feel comfortable doing it, I'd try booting with the noapic and/or apic = off in your grub config | 03:49 |
| AndrewBuck | xim: your 3d acceleration probably isn't working | 03:50 |
| jrib | leprasmurf: maybe, but this is probably not the right way to fix whatever the problem is | 03:50 |
| sourgrape | xim - try running glxgears | 03:50 |
| xim | andrewbuck, im using the nvidia restricted drivers, know how to remedy that | 03:50 |
| hvgotcodes | itrebal: is that because of server overload or is that because of bugs | 03:50 |
| Aristocles | sourgrape, i'll give that a go...which one? noapic or apic=off? | 03:50 |
| AndrewBuck | xim: no, i am an amd owner, know nothing about nvidia | 03:50 |
| wnoiseII | xim: have you got more than one monitor? | 03:51 |
| patifa2 | BillRoth: Though the SATA issues shouldn't be a problem if you can successfully run the standard liveCD installer. | 03:51 |
| itrebal | hvgotcodes: issues installing, not server problems | 03:51 |
| sourgrape | Aristocles - in my experience, noapic has solved 90% of my problems. If that doesn't work, try apic=off | 03:51 |
| Ademan | hey is ubotu dead? | 03:51 |
| maco | hvgotcodes: server overload mostly...people's upgrades are failing halfway through because they cant finish downloading everything | 03:51 |
| patifa2 | jeez how long is the timeout in freenode? | 03:51 |
| Sonja | thanks alphakamp_ | 03:51 |
| jrib | Ademan: no, he's on vacation | 03:51 |
| maco | heh | 03:51 |
| leprasmurf | jrib: what would you consider the correct resolution? I'm using knoppmyth backend/frontend and ubuntu for a front-end, because ubuntu has included the .21 version and deprecated the .20 version it's now incompatible with knoppmyth or any distro that uses the .20 version still | 03:51 |
| maco | hvgotcodes: ok, both | 03:51 |
| rokumanxes | AndrewBuck: Um it said "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0" | 03:51 |
| xim | glx gears is working, no im not using two monitors at the moment, and im on amd64 | 03:51 |
| Aristocles | sourgrape, k. let's see what happens... | 03:51 |
| BillRoth | patifa2: thanks. | 03:51 |
| sourgrape | xim - what FPS is it spitting out in the terminal window? | 03:51 |
| jrib | leprasmurf: I don't use mythtv, so I don't really know | 03:51 |

| xim | sourgrape 900ish | 03:52 |
| hvgotcodes | ok thanx | 03:52 |
| maco | hvgotcodes: there's also the fact that a lot of us helpers dont really know our way around hardy as well as we know gutsy at the moment because hardy does quite a few things quite a bit differently | 03:52 |
| leprasmurf | jrib: well thanks anyway, think I'll manually build mythtv until knoppmyth catches up | 03:52 |
| xim | which sounds impossible | 03:52 |
| jrib | Ademan: not available at the moment | 03:52 |
| sourgrape | xim - you should be getting WAY more than that, looks like (gulp) your 3d isn't working | 03:52 |
| wigglez | is the ssh server installed by default? | 03:52 |

| Randomizer | Hi, I'm trying to understand my options of setting up compiz, I've looked at the forums, can't find a good explanation of what is available and what are the limitations of various approaches. I have ati card (X300), non-proprietary drivers and dual-monitors (eveyrthing but compiz is currently configured and working). Thanks for your help. | 03:52 |
| sourgrape | xim - yea, just in that little window... not your whole screen =) | 03:52 |
| xim | ah ok | 03:53 |
| sourgrape | xim - on my piece of crap, non-3d laptop I get 800 or so fps.... | 03:53 |
| anoble | buzhang: ive got large black and white stripes across everything | 03:53 |
| maco | sourgrape: you cant get technically over what your refresh rate is.... | 03:53 |
| sourgrape | Not sure what glxgears uses as its measuring stick | 03:53 |
| shthap3ns | can anyone recommend a good partition scheme for RAID1 if i have 2x500gb hard drives? | 03:54 |
| Jordan_U | sourgrape, glxgears is NOT a benchmark :) | 03:54 |
| sourgrape | I just know that my nvidia system gets 10k+ in glxgears, and my laptop gets sub-1000 | 03:54 |
| wigglez | default ssh port is 22 right? | 03:54 |
| rokumanxes | AndrewBuck: So, how do I find that, and fix it? | 03:54 |
| anoble | tuxuc: can you help me | 03:54 |
| anoble | wiggles: yeah i think so | 03:54 |
| maco | sourgrape, xim: im getting 926-938 fps on glxgears and my 3D is working just fine, thank you very much | 03:54 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 03:54 |
| sourgrape | 22, sir. | 03:54 |
| patifa | wigglez: yes | 03:54 |
| crdlb | sourgrape: the number glxgears gives you is meaningless | 03:54 |
| wigglez | k | 03:54 |
| sourgrape | *Shrug* might be, but they're different for me. First time I've heard they're meaningless | 03:54 |
| xim | hmm ok, to be honest compiz does seem to be running real poorly tho, i had to get rid of my fishtank and gears | 03:55 |
| Scunizi | sourgrape: they are just a referance point for YOUR system | 03:55 |
| crdlb | the only way to check for 3d acceleration is: glxinfo | grep direct | 03:55 |

| maco | krim_: can you hit alt+f2 to get a runbox and type "gnome-panel" in it? | 03:56 |
| Firedice | The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. | 03:56 |

| patifa | Knight488: Maybe. Try to CPU Clock Frequency Scaleing applet. | 03:58 |
| sourgrape | knight - at the very least while you're checking it, you can blow all the dust off the heat sinks - will probably help | 03:58 |
| musikgoat | anything? | 03:58 |

| patifa | yeah | 04:00 |

| patifa | get the Clock Frequency Scaling applet out, Knight488 | 04:00 |

| h00k | Knight488: I would seriously recommend getting your processor heat-pipe, heat-sink, fan checked out and not resort to "underclocking" it | 04:00 |
| sourgrape | ah jeez, that bug is back? do a uname -a | 04:00 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: does it have an eth0 entry at all | 04:00 |

| cdubya | Just upgraded my system, but can't seem to find where to reassociate the default app handler for DVDs now...... | 04:05 |
| Lapinux | anyone use genpower? i just installed it and cant seem to find it | 04:05 |
| anoble | Scunizi: ive got a NVIDIA GeFroce2 Integrated GPU | 04:05 |
| sourgrape | mstef - you didn't get the SMP kernel, that looks like the uniproc kernel... I'm no expert though | 04:05 |
| patifa | Knight488: oh yeah, that's right. The scaler control is shut off for security reasons, on the theory that someone with a malicious program could play games with the timing of the processor and use that to hack the kernel. :) | 04:05 |
| mortuis99 | i just upped to HH and now all the videos that played OK in GG are jumpy. can someone help? | 04:05 |

| Dh08 | how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)?? | 04:05 |
| Steve1 | Not sure how to get my audio to work | 04:05 |
| cdubya | bah | 04:05 |
| Scunizi | anoble: that shouldn't be a problem.. Older card? | 04:05 |
| anoble | Scunizi: not to much older | 04:06 |
| danbhfive | eric84: how about if you run sudo su? | 04:06 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: were you able to add that line, etc? | 04:06 |
| mstef | sourgrape, suggestions? | 04:06 |
| anoble | Scunizi: but HH works with my older older card | 04:06 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: same message | 04:06 |
| Dh08 | how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)?? | 04:06 |

| krim | musikgoat: Well, I restarted x and panels magically appeared the second time. Thanks. | 04:06 |
| danbhfive | eric84: you got the sudo bug, unfortunately, I don't know how to fix that | 04:06 |
| astro76 | !samba | Dh08 | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Dh08: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 04:06 |
| Knight488 | patifa: theres no other software I could use? | 04:06 |
| rokumanxes | How do I save it? | 04:06 |
| Scunizi | anoble: weird.. not an expert on this one so I'm going to defer to someone else.. sorry | 04:06 |
| yuri_ | if I want all windows to be borderless, what do i do? | 04:06 |
| Steve1 | I need help getting my audio to work | 04:06 |
| anoble | Scunizi: do you know anyone that can help me? | 04:06 |
| h00k | yuri_: check out VirtualBox and it's "Seemless mode" | 04:07 |
| sourgrape | mstef - gimme a sec, I've had to do this myself before | 04:07 |
| Steve1 | Anyone available to help? | 04:07 |
| musikgoat | krim: if you see the issue come back after the next reboot, its the same problem I had, i identified the bug in beta, but it wasn't fixed till a few days ago | 04:07 |
| anoble | Scunizi: someone had me install something that installed a driver and killed the system just about its almost un usuable | 04:07 |
| Scunizi | anoble: just ask again. video is handled differently on HH than on GG or DD. | 04:07 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: i've tried using the live cd to reinstall but i can't get it to boot, it just goes to my failed desktop... any suggestion to do a clean install? | 04:07 |
| curlyfro | I'm trying to update from 7.10 to 8.X using the update manager. All seems to go well. It downloads two files intended to guide me through the update, but then nothing happens. I just get dumped back to the update-manage. Any ideas about this? | 04:07 |
| Randomizer | eric84 - stab in the dark, does sudo -s' work? | 04:07 |
| Scunizi | anoble: did it work before that? | 04:07 |
| yuri_ | h00k: i meant the window decoration, not the ms operating system | 04:07 |
| USN1520 | howdy folks | 04:07 |
| musikgoat | krim: you'll find that evolution-data-server being updated fixes the problem | 04:07 |
| eric84 | Randomizer: no | 04:07 |
| anoble | Scunizi: well yes it did just at 800x600 | 04:07 |
| krim | Anyone still using Gutsy and can tell me what the default font is? I updated to Hardy and the text on some sites is kind of hard to read and ugly. | 04:07 |
| krim | musikgoat: Thanks for the tip | 04:08 |
| h00k | yuri_: :) okay | 04:08 |
| musikgoat | np | 04:08 |
| c0Ld | can I make VLC play videos in fullscreen but with transparency so that i can keep working while watching them? | 04:08 |
| anoble | Scunizi: and i want 1024x740 | 04:08 |
| danbhfive | eric84: well, if its not booting the cd, I would assume that has to do with the wrong boot order, which you would need to change in the bios | 04:08 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: i have my cd-rom as first in the order | 04:08 |
| Scunizi | anoble: you might have a backup of xorg.. if HH is using it. look in /etc/X11 for xorg.conf and see if there is a backup there.. reinstate the backup | 04:08 |
| Steve1 | Anyone able to help me get my audio working? | 04:08 |
| Steve1 | I've got the driver CD if that's any help | 04:09 |
| danbhfive | eric84: and its not booting the cd? | 04:09 |
| anoble | Scunizi: can you lead me through it, ive got 2 computers, im on the one that HH is working ok w/ | 04:09 |
| 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 :/ | 04:09 |
| DShepherd | what's the 411 with the missing "Shared Folders" in the Admin Menu? is there another way to do it? | 04:09 |
| Scunizi | anoble: get to a terminal and type cd /etc/X11 | 04:09 |
| firedice | sourgrapes> thankyou for your help...it looks like it is now loading windows xp | 04:09 |
| USN1520 | Scunizi, can't you reset the pkg with dpkg | 04:09 |
| ferric84 | why can't I delete an ext3 partition on my external hdd using gparted? | 04:09 |
| sourgrape | mstef - you've done the apt-get upgrade already right? Just to make sure? | 04:09 |
| stik | umm alt-scroll will change the transparency of a window | 04:09 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: it seems to, once it boots it brings up the ubuntu login screen, i login, and i get the same blank desktop | 04:09 |
| Scunizi | USN1520: sometimes.. but not with HH.. it's different. | 04:10 |
| patifa | ferric84: You should. What's the behavior that's not letting you? | 04:10 |
| mstef | sourgrape, yes i've upgraded to 8.04 | 04:10 |
| ferric84 | patifa: I'm a moron, I had it mounted. works now | 04:10 |
| gaspipe1 | night all | 04:10 |
| mstef | sourgrape, i installed linux-386 thought because my audio stopped working..and someone told me to | 04:10 |
| h00k | c0Ld: check your PCM and see if that's up all the way | 04:10 |
| anoble | Scunizi: im not even sure that will work, its got the wrong video driver | 04:10 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: it says my home directory does not appear to exist and asks to login with root as my home directory, so i say yes | 04:10 |
| adamsad1 | is it worth running both snort and ossec, or do they both essentially do the same thing? | 04:10 |
| newperson122 | Hey there, im having some difficulty installing my rt73 driver for my usb wireless adapter | 04:10 |
| sourgrape | mstef - ahh. You need the 686 version, I'm trying to find it in synaptic now. It's a different name than it was last time I looked | 04:10 |
| Scunizi | anoble: if that's the case I'm stuck.... I havent' installed HH yet.. I was just about to pull the trigger on the upgrade. | 04:11 |
| mstef | sourgrape, ok, thanks | 04:11 |
| USN1520 | newperson122 how are you sitting now | 04:11 |
| danbhfive | eric84: well, I don't know, but I might be able to help with the hosts problem | 04:11 |
| sourgrape | mstef - I'm no expert - but as far as I can figure, the i386 was only one proc, and 686 was SMP | 04:11 |
| rokumanxes | AndrewBuck: how do I save it? | 04:11 |
| anoble | Scunizi: wait, i got in there | 04:11 |
| newperson122 | welll im running off the live cd atm, which can connect np's, but when i boot into the installled os, the wireless stops working after 10 minutes or so | 04:11 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: "write out" mans save | 04:11 |
| guitarthrasher | !ping | 04:11 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: thanks for your help, what would you suggest? | 04:11 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 04:11 |
| anoble | Scunizi: ok so what am i looking for in there | 04:12 |
| danbhfive | eric84: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4823775#post4823775 | 04:12 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: i think its ctrl+w | 04:12 |
| Scunizi | anoble: do an "ls" to list the files and look for xorg.conf.back or xorg.conf.<date> | 04:12 |
| mstef | sourgrape, ok, if youre wrong nothing horrible will happen right? also, it worked fine in 7.x | 04:12 |
| USN1520 | hmmm, wonder what changes after 10 minutes | 04:12 |
| rokumanxes | Ah, the ^ means ctrl. | 04:12 |
| rokumanxes | It's ctrl O. | 04:13 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: yep | 04:13 |
| === ApOgEE- is now known as ApOgEE-work | ||
| sourgrape | mstef - yea, when I've done this, I could just boot to the other kernel if I had a problem | 04:13 |
| anoble | Scunizi: ok found, xorg.conf_backup_200804292248 | 04:13 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: once you get it saved try opeing the network settings thing again, it should show up now. | 04:13 |
| sourgrape | mstef you'd just do it at the grub boot menu, pick the other kernel | 04:13 |
| mstef | sourgrape, ok thanks..did you find the name? | 04:13 |
| USN1520 | with the adapter installed, I assume it shows up as an adapter in lspci, so it odesnt go away, it just won't maintain a connection? | 04:13 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: thanks, i'll give that a shot | 04:13 |
| rokumanxes | still no.... | 04:14 |
| Aristocles | sourgrape, well, that didn't work. lol | 04:14 |
| Scunizi | anoble: ok.. you could try "sudo mv xorg.conf_backup_200804292248 xorg.conf" | 04:14 |
| Aristocles | thanks anyway | 04:14 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: try "sudo ifup wlan0" on the terminal | 04:14 |
| sourgrape | mstef - It's not called 686 anymore, it looks like it is called linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic | 04:14 |
| Aristocles | has anyone used a usb drive to boot linux? | 04:14 |
| shthap3ns | can anyone recommend a good partition scheme for RAID1 with 2x500gb hard drives? | 04:14 |
| anoble | Scunizi: nv command not found | 04:15 |
| mstef | k ill try it out | 04:15 |
| mstef | thanks alot | 04:15 |
| DATmafia | shthap3ns i prefer a mirror raid 1 | 04:15 |
| rokumanxes | It spat info at me! How rude. Err.. | 04:15 |
| Scunizi | anoble: not nv.. but .. mv | 04:15 |
| rokumanxes | Hold on a moment... | 04:15 |
| anoble | Scunizi: and how do i know it worked/ | 04:15 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: same error heh =\ | 04:15 |
| DATmafia | shthap3ns it's that slow and you're not sacrificing speed for reliability, IMO | 04:15 |
| anoble | ?* | 04:15 |
| mortuis99 | i uppgraded to HH from GG and now when i try and play videos they are jumpy. can someone give me some ideas to solve this? | 04:16 |
| shthap3ns | DATmafia: that's what i'm doing, but i'm trying to figure out how to partition the drives | 04:16 |
| Scunizi | anoble: restart X with CTRL+ALT+backspace.. you'll have to log on again and get back on irc | 04:16 |
| legends311 | hi all | 04:16 |
| mstef | sourgrape, can i uninstall the thousand of other images installed? | 04:16 |
| DATmafia | shthap3ns oh, from within the install wizard? | 04:16 |
| krim | I solved the ugly fonts in Firefox 3 issue. If anyone cares to know I stopped allowing pages to choose their own fonts in preferences -> content -> advanced | 04:16 |
| anoble | Scunizi: im on a different computer for irc | 04:16 |
| Steve1 | Anyone have time to help me get my audio working? | 04:16 |
| sourgrape | aristocles - heh I mean, it makes sense that the restart isn't shutting something down right, or not flushing something, or forgetting to flush the toilet... | 04:16 |
| Scunizi | anoble: ah .. k.. then just reboot | 04:16 |
| shthap3ns | DATmafia: yeah, i'm installing 8.04 server | 04:16 |
| sourgrape | mstef - Just don't install the one you're using right now | 04:17 |
| sourgrape | mstef - UNinstall, I mean | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | eric84: well, if you are sure you did it right, then I'm all out of ideas. You can pastebin your hosts file if you want me to check | 04:17 |
| krim | Steve1: Just write whatever you'd write if someone said yes and see if anyone is able to help you. | 04:17 |
| Luckrider | how do I view a folder as super user, I keep forgetting the command | 04:17 |
| Luckrider | ? | 04:17 |
| shthap3ns | DATmafia: right now i have a 2.7gb swap/497.4gb raid on each drive | 04:18 |
| furicle | shthap3ns: What are you using it for? mysql needs different stuff than a media machine for instance.... important part would be to use LVM and only assign half of it or so,then it's easy to change later | 04:18 |
| Starnestommy | Luckrider: gksudo nautilus | 04:18 |
| shthap3ns | i'm using it as a fileserver | 04:18 |
| eric84 | danbhfive: i double checked all the commands and they're good, thanks for your help, i'll dig through the forums some more | 04:18 |
| Knight488 | is there a good program someone can reccomend for hardy to do more advanced key bindings, like making it so pushing h types "hi"? | 04:18 |
| Luckrider | thanks stanestommy | 04:18 |
| Luckrider | *starnestommy | 04:18 |
| anoble | Scunizi: what does not in use mean? | 04:18 |
| Scunizi | anoble: in what context | 04:18 |
| anoble | Scunizi: Nvidia Accelerated graphics Driver [ ] (Red Circle) Not in use | 04:19 |
| anoble | Scunizi: in Hardware Drivers | 04:19 |
| DATmafia | shthap3ns did u create the partitians in the Hardware RAID config? | 04:19 |
| h00k | anoble: your Restricted drivers? | 04:20 |
| anoble | Scunizi: yeah | 04:20 |
| AndrewBuck | rokumanxes: you still there? | 04:20 |
| JohnnyWells | Everytime I log in, the network manager requests access to the default key ring, and I get prompted for a password. Can anyone tell me how to make it stop doing this? | 04:20 |
| Scunizi | anoble: ah.! that means you're back to the standard drivers.. if you want to initiate the restricted drivers do so. | 04:20 |
| h00k | anoble: you can disable it, then re-enable it, and it should download the drivers, you'll need to reboot | 04:20 |
| shthap3ns | DATmafia: no, i was told not to use hardware raid, since i have "fakeraid", and to use software raid instead | 04:20 |
| h00k | anoble: and they should then be "In Use" | 04:20 |
| anoble | Scunizi: yeah i did this, but then it makes the system freak | 04:20 |
| anoble | ill take a screenshot | 04:20 |
| Luckrider | thanks again Starnestommy, i always forget (this time, I left myself a sticky note on my desktop) | 04:21 |
| JohnnyWells | Anyone? | 04:21 |
| DATmafia | shthap3ns ok, so then generally it's a matter of changing a file, 1 sec | 04:21 |
| Scunizi | anoble: you might want to leave it where it is until things get sorted out.. I'll be lost from here. | 04:21 |
| anoble | Scunizi: should i wait for an update? | 04:21 |
| USN1520 | JohnnyWells there is an atricle in the forum to fix this | 04:21 |
| Scunizi | anoble: or until someone else can walk you through the rest. | 04:21 |
| xim | shthap3ns were you trying to talk to me? you quoted something i said | 04:21 |
| xim | <shthap3ns> [19:56] <xim> hmm glxinfo |grep direct says direct rendering | 04:21 |
| anoble | h00k: can you help me? | 04:21 |
| USN1520 | search PAM keyring | 04:22 |

| mortuis99 | i just uppgraded to HH from GG and now all of my videos are jumpy can someone please help me? | 04:22 |
| xim | np | 04:22 |
| anoble | Scunizi: thnaks for taking your time : ) | 04:22 |
| JohnnyWells | USN1520, I know. I couldn't remember what it was though, and I did a search | 04:22 |
| Scunizi | anoble: well at least I got you back to square 1. good luck | 04:22 |
| anoble | Scunizi: greatly appreciated that you atleast helped | 04:22 |
| h00k | anoble: you disabled it, and then re-enabled it? | 04:22 |
| anoble | h00k: yes ill do that now and restart it | 04:22 |
| h00k | anoble: I'm trying to remember what I did to get mine to work...I have nVidia | 04:22 |
| h00k | anoble: I think that's all I did | 04:23 |
| mstef | sourgrape, hey sorry to bother you again..but how do you rebuilt the grub menu config file? i screwed it up | 04:23 |
| anoble | h00k: yeah but mine freaks out | 04:23 |
| h00k | anoble: disable, enable, then it should download the driver | 04:23 |
| YouKnowMe | maco, I get the warning message about installing it, then it does, then FF tells me its incompatible like it always does and its not installed. | 04:23 |
| anoble | h00k: well its restarting now | 04:23 |
| eboyjr | Does anyone know what time I joined this channel? | 04:23 |
| mortuis99 | H00K how do u disable then enable? | 04:23 |
| firedice | this is teh first version of ubuntu\linux that i have tried....has ubuntu become more user friendly or does it have a little more to go for more people to switch to it? | 04:23 |

| simone | Hi, I followed the instructions on the "MacBook" wiki page to try and use xmodmap to bind the lower left enter key to right-click but it won't work. I've set the command "xmodmap .xmodmap" to run at startup and restarted X11 and everything | 04:25 |
| h00k | mortuis99, anoble: try updating your packages, and them upgrading | 04:25 |
| furicle | shthap3ns: It's a little simplistic - but I'd have /boot, /var/log and / each in separate partitions, then make something like /data or /files or whatever as your file share in it's on partition. | 04:25 |
| JohnnyWells | Whenever I shut down my computer, the usplash turns multicolored and rainbow-y. It doesn't do this on boot. Is there something wrong with the splash or is there a way I can fix this? | 04:25 |
| anoble | h00k: yeah i did this already | 04:25 |
| h00k | hm | 04:25 |
| eboyjr | I stated downloading an iso about two hours ago and now... its only 34% done.. can I check download speed history or something with ubuntu 7.10? | 04:25 |

| newperson122 | Hey how do i install the nm-applet after i do a fresh install of gutsy? | 04:26 |
| newperson122 | *remove i mean | 04:26 |
| anoble | h00k: that i did not i dont think | 04:26 |
| newperson122 | not install | 04:26 |
| USN1520 | newperson122 right click on the panel and select add to panel | 04:26 |
| h00k | anoble: get the right ones for the kernel you have | 04:26 |
| sourgrape | mstef - in a terminal, type "sudo update-grub" | 04:26 |
| patifa | rokumanxes: AndrewBuck left. | 04:26 |
| h00k | anoble: I just did this like a week or so ago, and I forget :/ | 04:27 |
| rokumanxes | Really? Crap... | 04:27 |
| shthap3ns | furicle: which ones would i set to RAID? | 04:27 |
| anoble | h00k: how did i get the right one? | 04:27 |
| rokumanxes | Can anyone help me with connecting to my wifi? | 04:27 |
| rokumanxes | I did it last night, but now it's not working at all.... | 04:27 |
| newperson122 | oh i mean how do i remove nm-applet, sorry | 04:27 |
| newperson122 | so that it doesnt load everytime i boot either | 04:27 |
| h00k | anoble: do 'uname -r' in a terminal to see your kernel | 04:27 |
| USN1520 | newperson122, right click remove | 04:27 |
| patifa | man I must be fortunate, my wireless worked out-of-the-box :\ | 04:27 |
| newperson122 | theres no "remove" option | 04:27 |
| sourgrape | linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) | 04:28 |
| h00k | sourcode: that works too, thanks :D | 04:28 |
| USN1520 | newperson122, you are right doesn | 04:28 |
| newperson122 | only "Enable networking" "Enable Wirless" | 04:28 |
| eboyjr | Does the download speed on Ubuntu lower or stop when the computer is idle? | 04:28 |
| anoble | 2.6.24-16-generic | 04:28 |
| x45 | can i burn wine to a cd and install it on a different ubuntu machine? | 04:28 |
| USN1520 | what if you uncheck both | 04:28 |
| anoble | h00k: yeah its really ... now | 04:28 |
| rokumanxes | Well, it was all fine, but now it's like... when I click the network icon, it automatically goes to Connection Properties, instead of the dropdown menu it had.... | 04:28 |
| rokumanxes | Any ideas? | 04:28 |
| patifa | eboyjr: I could think of an example of that with poorly configured frequency scaling | 04:29 |
| anoble | h00k: any way i can boot right to terminal? | 04:29 |
| newperson122 | its jsut that for my rt73 driver, it doesnt play well with nm-applet, so just trying to stop nm-applet loading | 04:29 |
| earthling | x45: you can try aptoncd | 04:29 |
| furicle | shthap3ns: Sorry - thought you were building everything on a RAID 1... eg DISK->RAID1->LVM - why not RAID all of it? | 04:29 |
| x45 | earthling, whats that? | 04:29 |
| sourgrape | rokumanxes - just if it didn't have the driver correctly installed is all I can think of | 04:29 |

| eboyjr | patifa, What's frequency scaling again? | 04:29 |
| eboyjr | =p | 04:29 |
| rokumanxes | I got that all taken care of last night. | 04:29 |
| earthling | well it helps creating repository cds | 04:29 |
| USN1520 | dunno I always need it | 04:29 |
| h00k | eboyjr: that's what speed your processor(s) are running | 04:30 |
| anoble | h00k: wont even get to the there | 04:30 |
| USN1520 | what does the applet have to do with it | 04:30 |
| rokumanxes | The battery died, and it didn't shut down right, and now it's all weird. | 04:30 |
| eboyjr | h00k, Oh, thats right. | 04:30 |
| shthap3ns | furicle: so would my current setup of raid(497GB)+swap(2.7GB) on both drives be alright? | 04:30 |
| eboyjr | thx | 04:30 |
| patifa | eboyjr: New system where your processor can be underclocked on the fly to conserve power. I had screwy one of those programs that controlled it in windows which would cause stuff to go bonkers :) | 04:30 |
| anoble | h00k: yeah well im in recov and in Dropped to Root shell promt | 04:30 |
| earthling | x45: it helps creating repositoy cds which can be used to install from later rather than downloading the softwares again from synaptic | 04:31 |
| h00k | anoble: yeah, recovery mode will do that, too | 04:31 |
| eboyjr | hah | 04:31 |
| h00k | anoble: that did not work? | 04:31 |
| h00k | anoble: the linux-restricted-modules... | 04:31 |
| furicle | shthap3ns: I would think so - just use the RAID array for LVM.... Note - I haven't booted Hardy from LVM on RAID, but Debian does it ok so I don't why Hardy won't... Anybody think I'm out to lunch here? | 04:31 |
| x45 | earthling, sounds good | 04:31 |
| anoble | h00k: im cant get to them | 04:31 |
| vwbusguy | So I've heard a rumor that 8.04 doesn't need it's own partition? | 04:31 |
| rokumanxes | Anyone know why it gives an error when I click configure in connection properties? | 04:31 |
| sourgrape | anoble - google "grub runlevel 3" | 04:31 |
| eboyjr | Is 32 KB - 62 KB /sec a good speed for downloads? | 04:32 |
| USN1520 | eboyjr not really | 04:32 |
| furicle | shthap3ns: why 2.7G swap anyway? sounds like an odd number | 04:32 |
| rokumanxes | It's not amazing, but it's sufficient. | 04:32 |
| USN1520 | what type of connection | 04:32 |
| patifa | eboyjr: Depends on what you have. | 04:32 |
| Vlet | eboyjr: depends on your internet connection | 04:32 |
| h00k | dito ^ | 04:32 |
| earthling | x45: yup | 04:32 |
| shthap3ns | it was default | 04:32 |
| anoble | h00k: im cant get to them as im not using an internet connection | 04:32 |
| anoble | h00k: on that computer.. | 04:32 |
| eboyjr | USN1520, patifa, Vlet, Its cable | 04:33 |
| h00k | anoble: OOooooh -- that'll do it | 04:33 |
| rokumanxes | Any connection I click to configure gives me an error about.. interface, or something... | 04:33 |
| furicle | shthap3ns: twice RAM? just curious | 04:33 |
| USN1520 | yeah that sucks | 04:33 |
| h00k | anoble: can you get the package from another machine and burn to cd or put on thumbdrive? | 04:33 |
| USN1520 | I get 250+ on cable | 04:33 |
| USN1520 | choose another mirror | 04:33 |
| sourgrape | use torrents | 04:33 |
| sourgrape | esp for ISOs | 04:33 |
| vwbusguy | mirrors.kernel.org is usually fast | 04:33 |
| USN1520 | sourgrape is right | 04:33 |
| Vlet | rokumanxes: what's the error? | 04:33 |
| patifa | Isn't cox cable one of the throttler ISPs? | 04:33 |
| eboyjr | USN1520, Okay... ( even if I have 36% done already? ) | 04:33 |
| h00k | patifa: which one isn't, these days :/ | 04:34 |
| shthap3ns | furicle: well, the first time i installed ubuntu, i used "fake raid" (through the mobo's BIOS). i did the guided install and it gave me a 2.7gb swap by default | 04:34 |
| USN1520 | yeah it will save time to use torrents | 04:34 |
| sourgrape | eboy - yea, if you get a torrent or a better mirror that won't take long to get back | 04:34 |
| USN1520 | less prone for errors too | 04:34 |
| patifa | h00k: Apparently not mine... yet. | 04:34 |
| shthap3ns | furicle: i have 1gb of ram | 04:34 |
| h00k | patifa: which is that? | 04:34 |
| patifa | Rural independent cable service provider | 04:34 |
| USN1520 | eboyjr, I may be wrong but torrent is pretty solid | 04:34 |
| h00k | patifa: rock on. | 04:34 |

| CUBeR64 | hi everyone, i'd just like to ask if the creative zen stone 1gb allows booting? | 04:35 |
| anoble | h00k: something with a mv or w/e | 04:35 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | hey everyone. i can't get apache to start. tried /etc/init.d/apache2 start. it tells me OK and gives me no error messages but nothing actually runs. any ideas? | 04:35 |
| sourgrape | anoble, probably have to put sudo in front of the command | 04:35 |
| h00k | anoble: cp | 04:35 |
| eboyjr | Its hard to tell where the mirrors are when you download Ubuntu, its poorly done | 04:35 |
| h00k | anoble: cp 'filename' 'destination' | 04:35 |
| USN1520 | how so? | 04:35 |
| anoble | h00k: k | 04:35 |
| patifa | DrUnKnMuNkY: Try #ubuntu-server (is that an official channel?) | 04:35 |
| USN1520 | eboyjr, at the bottom of the webpage select view all mirrors | 04:36 |
| anoble | h00k: but the command that someone else gave me had like a mv in it | 04:36 |
| fde | eboyjr: It's designed that way to make it less confusing for you... | 04:36 |
| Vlet | DrUnKnMuNkY: you're supposed to use: sudo apache2ctl start | 04:36 |
| fde | patifa: yup | 04:36 |
| h00k | anoble: mv will move it, like "cut" | 04:36 |
| CUBeR64 | hi everyone, i'd just like to ask if the creative zen stone 1gb allows booting of the ubuntu 8.04 livecd | 04:36 |
| sourgrape | that's right, it's like cut... where cp is copy | 04:36 |
| Vlet | DrUnKnMuNkY: well, using what you did is fine, but apache2ctl is what's recommended | 04:36 |
| shthap3ns | furicle: i'm gonna have to bother you with one more question (im actually quite the linux noob): number of active devices = 2, number of spare devices = 0 is correct, right? | 04:36 |
| USN1520 | CUBe64 I dont even know what that is, sorry | 04:37 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | Vlet: that doesn't work either. | 04:37 |
| patifa | CUBeR64: Huh? | 04:37 |
| eboyjr | jde, USN1520, I dont even know what state each of the mirrors are in in the US... I just picked Mexico because I am pretty close to them. :) | 04:37 |
| sourgrape | Cube - the MP3 player? | 04:37 |

| fde | eboyjr: archive.<country_code>.ubuntu.com performs some magic to redirect you to your fastest local mirror... | 04:37 |
| Vlet | DrUnKnMuNkY: oh sorry, it gives none... check /var/log/apache2/error.log | 04:37 |
| sourgrape | Cube - NO idea on that one, probably have to google or put it in the forums. | 04:37 |
| anoble | yrlnry: this happeds in Windows | 04:38 |
| anoble | yrlnry: i get that in Windows 2 | 04:38 |
| CUBeR64 | sourgrape: alrighty, thanks | 04:38 |
| sourgrape | Cube - but post it in the forums if you DO get it working, that sounds like fun :) | 04:38 |
| billy | did they ever add support for the 160gb ipod's? | 04:38 |

| firedice | With virtual box can i set up my video driver for my nvidia 8800gt? | 04:38 |
| anoble | h00k: yeah none of these worked :/ | 04:38 |
| yrlnry | anoble: thanks! that fixed my problem! | 04:38 |
| Judeglass | so... i have this USB stick that i installed hardy heron from... i used another hardy box to create it. the stick mounts fine on the original hardy box and on my MacBook Pro. it is a fat32 volume. | 04:38 |
| USN1520 | eboyjr, pick one it doesnt matter and download the torrent file...it is really small | 04:38 |
| Judeglass | but it won't mount on this new Hardy machine | 04:39 |
| sourgrape | firedice - the VB uses a virtual device driver | 04:39 |
| USN1520 | eboyjr, then open with your torrent client and viola | 04:39 |
| anoble | yrlnry: sarcasm? | 04:39 |
| h00k | anoble: where are you trying to copy them from? | 04:39 |
| sourgrape | firedice - the best you can do is to install the VB tools | 04:39 |
| fde | Oh, he's not that far yet... sorry | 04:39 |
| yrlnry | anoble: No! | 04:39 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | Vlet: a few errors in there that I should be able to fix. thanks | 04:39 |
| anoble | h00k: /etc/X11 | 04:39 |
| Judeglass | i installed the Hardy on this problem machine from this same USB stick | 04:39 |
| anoble | yrlnry: right .... | 04:39 |
| eboyjr | USN1520, Alright, th | 04:39 |
| eboyjr | x | 04:39 |
| yrlnry | anoble: WHen you said that, I realized that the problem was that HH had installed Firefox 3, and that the terminal program wants to use the default browser, which is FF2, which is no longer present since the upgrade. | 04:39 |
| kingsley_zissou | issue: fresh install of HH on my toshiba lappy, is there a work-around to use glx? or a way to get mobility radeon 9000/9100 IGP to render 3D on HH? had no issues on GG. | 04:40 |
| yrlnry | anoble: so I told FF3 to make itself the default browser, and the problem went away. | 04:40 |
| h00k | anoble: are you trying to edit your xorg.conf ? | 04:40 |
| anoble | yrlnry: oh, well glad i helped : ) | 04:40 |
| Judeglass | i get a message: "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'USB_Stick' | 04:40 |
| Judeglass | (thats what i named it) | 04:40 |

| firedice | sourgrape> do you set up the tools inside of vb? | 04:40 |
| anoble | h00k: im trying to over right with the backup | 04:40 |
| USN1520 | I am out yall...good night | 04:40 |
| h00k | anoble: gotcha | 04:40 |
| h00k | anoble: you can do 'mv xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf.old' | 04:41 |
| anoble | h00k: and cp didnt work | 04:41 |
| eboyjr | Where do I find the torrent file for the mirrors? | 04:41 |
| h00k | anoble: do mv instead | 04:41 |
| x45 | I've got an ubuntu pc that crashe's like its job almost every 5-10 minutes out of the blue, is it the hardware doing this? | 04:41 |
| sourgrape | firedice - I think it's the "tools" menu - gimme a sec to fire mine up | 04:41 |
| anoble | h00k: lol k | 04:41 |
| Judeglass | any ideas as to where i should look to find out how it is being mounted? | 04:41 |
| patifa | the torrent file doesn't download from the 'mirrors' | 04:41 |
| h00k | anoble: mv xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf.old | 04:41 |
| patifa | unless you just mean the .torrent file, which is only a couple hundred kilobytes at most | 04:41 |
| kingsley_zissou | sorry got disconnected. did anybody address my ati 9100 question? | 04:41 |
| h00k | anoble: shoot - if you did that, do 'mv xorg.conf.old xorg.conf' | 04:42 |

I can't figure out what is going on and it is driving me crazy | 04:42 |
| firedice | sourgrape> what is thsi vb tools your talking about? | 04:42 |
| genii | eboyjr: The nature of torrents makes them international by default | 04:42 |
| patifa | eboyjr: What do you mean by a 'torrent'? Do you mean the torrent hash file or the place all the actual ISO data comes from? | 04:42 |
| sourgrape | firedice - looking at mine - it's just some utilities | 04:42 |
| shthap3ns | anyone: for a fileserver, recommend ext3 or XFS? | 04:42 |
| eboyjr | genii, Ohh, thats right lol | 04:43 |
| anoble | h00k: its restarting | 04:43 |
| h00k | anoble: okay - I hope this works :) | 04:43 |
| patifa | Yeah, what genii said. The torrent download comes from a pool of everyone else who's downloading it at the same time with bittorrent. | 04:43 |
| anoble | h00k: well i hope this gets us to square 1 again | 04:43 |
| eboyjr | patifa, So I can use BitTorrent or something to get the ubuntu iso | 04:43 |

| shthap3ns | furicle: thanks for your help, much appreciated! | 04:44 |

| sourgrape | anoble - I'm a little late to the party - have you tried 'nv' - you have a geforce 2 right? Probably a "go" verison, you said it was built in | 04:54 |
| rnartos | sourgrape: one thing more why xorg.conf doesn't show the details of my current configured video card.. it just show "configuration for current video card" ...etc | 04:54 |
| patifa | ferric84: I delete it once. When I took the drive to a windows computer it regenerated. | 04:54 |
| anoble | sourgrape: yeah i have the go version | 04:54 |
| Scunizi | r3b, it's also the only way to get wireless working with the atheros chipset as well | 04:54 |
| sourgrape | anoble - try NV first | 04:54 |
| rnartos | no more Option "####" "###" | 04:54 |
| ferric84 | patifa: thanks | 04:54 |
| anoble | sourgrape: whats the command nv? | 04:55 |
| rnartos | nor driver intel | 04:55 |
| roshane | bazhang, i'm not sure how to do all that...a very new user | 04:55 |
| anoble | sourgrape: or there site? | 04:55 |
| patifa | ferric84: Just don't go deleting $blah$ files | 04:55 |
| sourgrape | anoble - in a terminal window, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:55 |
| ferric84 | patifa: are those ubuntu? | 04:55 |
| DrifterSX | hardy heron is pretty radical | 04:55 |
| rnartos | sourgrape: so how can I configure my video card right now in ubuntu 8.04? | 04:55 |
| bazhang | roshane I have to step out for a bit; mention to others here that you want awn and the compiz plugin for wallpapers --animated and they can help you no doubt | 04:55 |
| patifa | Well, one of them for example is an NTFS journaling file or something | 04:55 |
| anoble | sourgrape: k done | 04:56 |
| === Bodsda is now known as Bodsda_coding | ||
| sourgrape | anoble - it should go through a few screens | 04:56 |
| anoble | sourgrape: restart? | 04:56 |
| roshane | yeah man, thanks | 04:56 |
| anoble | sourgrape: yeah i went through them | 04:56 |
| rnartos | sourgrape: xorg.conf not showing the detaild configs as before | 04:56 |
| r3b | Scunizi: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server that looks like the one, eh? | 04:56 |
| sourgrape | anoble - wow that was fast.. ok yea, try a restart | 04:56 |
| Scunizi | r3b, yep | 04:56 |
| sourgrape | rnartos - I'm not sure, have you recently reconfigured or changed something? | 04:56 |
| r3b | Scunizi: thanks again | 04:56 |
| Scunizi | r3b, np | 04:56 |

| newperson122 | Hey when installing from the live cd, how do i have it so it doesnt try to "scan the mirror" because im on dial up speed, and i can never find out how to get the installer not to do this, because it always takes like at least an hour or so | 04:57 |
| sourgrape | anoble ah =) Faster thinker than I am (Not that it's hard to do) | 04:57 |
| rnartos | sourgrape: after I install ubuntu... the xorg.conf only shows.. under device "configured for current video card" | 04:57 |

| anoble | sourgrape: haha yeah BS! i cant even get this to run on my own though this is my first day of REALLY using linux | 04:58 |

| rnartos | sourgrape: gnome | 04:59 |
| DrifterSX | kde is kinda lame | 04:59 |
| sourgrape | anoble - fiddlesticks. Still dead? | 04:59 |

| sourgrape | Drifter, my perosnal preference is XFCE4 with SLIM | 05:00 |
| rhys | I need the "connect to server dialog" to pass the preference "sec=ntlmv2" | 05:00 |
| anoble | sourgrape: me thinks its a full reinstall time to get to square 1 | 05:00 |
| o0Chris0o | where can I get PyQt 3.13 for kubuntu? | 05:00 |
| * calc notes CDE is only of the ugliest environments known to man | 05:00 | |
| osiris | why in the world does xorg.conf have almost NOTHING in it in hardy? | 05:00 |
| osiris | how am I supposed to edit that | 05:00 |
| sourgrape | Kingsley - that I dno't know. My laptop has an ATI 7500 mobility and won't run the properitary drivers | 05:00 |
| rhys | osiris, dont touchy feely with ubuntus undersystem | 05:00 |
| crdlb | osiris: because everything is autodetected | 05:01 |
| calc | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/DECwindows-openvms-v7.3-1.png <- :-) | 05:01 |
| sourgrape | Anoble - probably not a bad idea, start fresh | 05:01 |
| Jordan_U | calc, It's happily not very 'common' though :) | 05:01 |
| rhys | ubuntu is not an undersystem kinda distro | 05:01 |
| AdrianStrays | I'm getting kind of frustrated. Everytime I log in, the network manager required my admin password. I followed a guide to fix this, and it made it so my wireless can't connect to ANTHING, even after I deleted the new coding | 05:01 |
| Scunizi | osiris, xorg I think doesn't drive the video anymore. | 05:01 |
| kingsley_zissou | sourgrape: thanks for the reply. it's a shame, will probably downgrade back to gutsy | 05:01 |
| AdrianStrays | Can someone please help me with this | 05:01 |
| sourgrape | anoble - I probably installed Ubuntu and Debian about 50 times when I first started | 05:01 |
| crdlb | kingsley_zissou: do not use fglrx on that card, it does not support it | 05:01 |
| DrifterSX | XFCE4 with SLIM?? idk what that is | 05:01 |
| osiris | rhys, what are you talking about ? and its not autodetected | 05:01 |
| calc | Jordan_U: it was, it just wasn't free so isn't common on FOSS, XFCE started as a CDE clone but luckily didn't stay that ugly | 05:01 |
| Starnestommy | o0Chris0o: I think it's packaged as python-qt3 or python-qt4 depending on the version of PyQt | 05:01 |
| osiris | if it was, i wouldnt be booting to 800x600 | 05:01 |
| anoble | sourgrape: yeah i dont want to loose my Winfux partition its got WoW on there | 05:01 |
| ubuntuROX | Anyone else have multiple USB Drives listed under Places / Computer? even when there are no usb devices plugged in? | 05:01 |
| kingsley_zissou | crdlb: how do i switch back to glx? | 05:01 |
| crdlb | kingsley_zissou: fglrx last supported anything below the 9500 with 8.28, which was in Edgy | 05:01 |
| sourgrape | Anoble - yea, fortunately you can tell the Ubuntu installer to just delete the linux partitiosn | 05:02 |
| anoble | osiris: im having the same problem, as you | 05:02 |
| rhys | osfameron, im saying ubuntu gets pissed when you play with its insides. if you have to edit the xorg in ubuntu, you shouldn't be using ubuntu. | 05:02 |
| crdlb | kingsley_zissou: glx? that's not a driver | 05:02 |
| rhys | osiris, i mean | 05:02 |
| osiris | doesnt anybody that uses ubuntu, actually know how there linux works ? | 05:02 |
| DrifterSX | XFCE4 with SLIM what is that | 05:02 |
| amnatz | where is the dual screen configuration GUI ? | 05:02 |
| ubuntuROX | Or, does anyone know why I might have multiple USB Drives listed under /places / computer when there are no usb drives plugged in at the time? | 05:02 |
| roshane | earthling pretty cool..http://blog.prashanthellina.com/2007/08/22/matrix-desktop/ how do i get that? | 05:02 |
| osiris | what happened to inittab ? | 05:02 |
| rhys | where is the dual screen GUI? | 05:02 |
| DrifterSX | ive heard of xfce4 but not SLIM | 05:02 |
| calc | osiris: sure lots of people, eg core-dev and motu for example ;-) | 05:02 |
| AdrianStrays | I'm getting kind of frustrated. Everytime I log in, the network manager required my admin password. I followed a guide to fix this, and it made it so my wireless can't connect to ANTHING, even after I deleted the new coding | 05:02 |
| sourgrape | SLiM is a replacement for GDM (Gnome Display Manager) | 05:02 |
| earthling | roshane: yeah.. i dont much about animated wallpapers, though :( | 05:03 |
| DrifterSX | is it like a "lite" version of gnome kindA? | 05:03 |
| Scrounch | is it possible to have a GPS (travel, distance..no geolocalisation of course) in a soft @ ubuntu ? | 05:03 |
| osiris | im not here to bash, but i really expected more from hardy, as dapper was so spectacular | 05:03 |
| crdlb | kingsley_zissou: you need to remove any attempts at installing fglrx and then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx, then you can go back to using the "ati" driver | 05:03 |
| sourgrape | Yea, this is a 5 year old laptop, so I conserver where I can Drifter | 05:03 |
| calc | osiris: inittab was replaced with upstart i think | 05:03 |
| DrifterSX | o ok | 05:03 |

| sourgrape | cr4z... does the wireless card show up under Restricted Drivers? | 05:04 |
| kingsley_zissou | crdlb: thank you :-D | 05:04 |
| calc | osiris: for the most part gnome has looked the same for the past 7 years | 05:04 |

| Dh08 | how do i set a home network between my laptop (ubuntu herdy) and my pc (win xp)?? i installed samba, but still i am having problems accessing/sharing files. | 05:04 |
| sourgrape | Cr4z - I'm sorry, it's called "hardware driverS" now | 05:04 |
| Scrounch | Jordan_U: i have tested it, but that's just distance @ road, and i need that for forest too :/ | 05:04 |
| osiris | gnome aside, i run fluxbox or enlightenment anyhow | 05:04 |
| arooni-mobile | hey ubuntu team! i recently switched my network from unencrypted => WPA security. my gutsy laptop had no problem with the change.... but my gutsy desktop (with wireless nic) can't seem to connect to the network............. ideas? | 05:04 |
| punisher | Hi, all! | 05:04 |
| sourgrape | Amnatz - SLiM is in the packages, I think I just apt-get'd it | 05:05 |
| roshane | earthling my problem so far is installing things...and i also have a concern about things i used to do and programs i used to run in windows like Xara Xtreme and graphics software and my games like Call of Duty 4 | 05:05 |

| DrifterSX | i Own at that game on PS3 | 05:05 |
| bigfuzzyjesus_ | okay, so i got hardy heron, but i cant have sound from firefox and rythmbox at the same time, so if i open rythmbox first, firefox has no sound until i close rythmbox and restart firefox or vice versa | 05:05 |
| osiris | Dh08, that's cause samba is half busted by default in hardy | 05:05 |
| Jordan_U | Scrounch, What do you mean 'for forest'? Do you mean following hiking trails or simply as the crow flies? | 05:05 |
| bigfuzzyjesus_ | any ideas? | 05:05 |
| Scrounch | an multiple checkpoint | 05:05 |
| Scrounch | and | 05:05 |
| punisher | can you see my masseges? | 05:05 |
| osiris | no | 05:05 |
| ubuntuROX | for games check out urban terror. or open arena. | 05:05 |

| DATmafia | im running 8.04 lts in virtualbox, need to enable resolution past 800x600 i tried the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with no success | 05:05 |

| DrifterSX | pretty much all games for linux sux | 05:06 |
| earthling | roshane: for games you can try wine. you can find some stuff on googlin as to how to make COD run? but it will be using more CPU when runnin on ubuntu | 05:06 |
| anoble | punisher: ehh im Ukranian, i remeber a little ;) | 05:07 |
| bigfuzzyjesus_ | okay, so i got hardy heron, but i cant have sound from firefox and rythmbox at the same time, so if i open rythmbox first, firefox has no sound until i close rythmbox and restart firefox or vice versa | 05:07 |

| roshane | earthling why is that so? | 05:07 |
| DrifterSX | ya me too hat absnt said | 05:07 |

| eboyjr | My BitTorrent is not resuming! :( !! | 05:07 |
| anoble | punisher: kak de la? | 05:07 |
| earthling | roshane: you are trying to emulate windows on linux using wine | 05:08 |
| absnt | osiris: I see it in the list of addons but under it it says totem player blahblah | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | bigfuzzyjesus, You can try installing libflashsupport but that might make flash less stable | 05:08 |
| eboyjr | I'm scared | 05:08 |
| ubuntuROX | I disagree. I have been perfectly entertained by urban terror, and open arena.. | 05:08 |
| sourgrape | WINE is not an emulator.. ;) | 05:08 |
| Mimi | QUESTION: What's the command that launches the Add/Remove on the start menu? | 05:08 |
| osiris | other than that you can use the "prefered applications" menu in preferences | 05:08 |
| DrifterSX | when i download torrents form isohunt.com it only gives me the option of using transmission (which sux) | 05:08 |
| Dh08 | osiris: any tools out there to make this process easier? | 05:08 |

| DrifterSX | how do i choose ktorrent or any other to be my default torrent client | 05:08 |
| CYREX | hehe | 05:08 |

| sourgrape | Save the torrent file, righ click it, open with / as / something like that | 05:09 |

| DrifterSX | azureaus, utorrent and bitlord are the only ones worth using and i cant get any of those to work in ubuntu | 05:10 |

| monkeybritches | Mimi: Have you tried Audacity? | 05:12 |
| eboyjr | bittorrent* excuse me * | 05:12 |
| sourgrape | I started with ktorrent and utorrent in wine, moved to rTorrent - but it's definitely an acquired taste | 05:12 |
| roshane | earthling i have others questions but i'm trying to remember them at this time | 05:12 |
| ubuntuROX | whats wrong with transmission? | 05:13 |
| endo | sourgrape: transmission is where its at | 05:13 |
| endo | how can I disable the resticted driver? | 05:13 |
| DATmafia | sourgrape the kind for the addon to change my screen resolution | 05:13 |
| osiris | ubuntuROX, its a featureless ap | 05:13 |
| DrifterSX | transmission is too basic and lame | 05:13 |
| endo | DrifterSX: then use deluge | 05:13 |
| endo | how can I disable the resticted driver? | 05:13 |
| roshane | earthling, oh...with compiz, the cube, how do i get it to zoom out when its been rotated? | 05:13 |
| endo | how can I disable the restricted driver? | 05:13 |
| sourgrape | endo - yea, I've heard people that like Trans... I'm just used to rTorrent now | 05:13 |
| osiris | and the "clutch" webUI deb doesnt even work right | 05:13 |
| DrifterSX | the only thing about linux that i dont like is that its always behind technology and its too basic | 05:13 |
| DrifterSX | deuge is like utorrent or bitlord?? | 05:14 |
| endo | utorrent | 05:14 |
| ubuntuROX | really? You can control the download and upload speeds? what else do you need? | 05:14 |
| endo | how can I disable the restricted driver? | 05:14 |
| DrifterSX | bitlord was my favorite by far on winblows | 05:14 |
| osiris | DrifterSX, i have found that statement very wrong | 05:14 |
| endo | utorrent is the best on windows | 05:14 |
| osiris | linux is not behind the technology | 05:14 |
| endo | utorrent | 05:14 |
| endo | how can I disable the restricted driver? | 05:14 |
| osiris | endo, add/remove programs ? | 05:14 |
| o0Chris0o | !repeat | 05:15 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:15 |
| endo | osiris: no, its not in ther | 05:15 |
| DrifterSX | umm u always see poeple trying to "configure" ipods, mp3 players, psp's, wifi cards, the list goes on | 05:15 |

| DrifterSX | u dont need to do ANY of that in winblows(not trying to defend microsuck) | 05:15 |
| osiris | DrifterSX, and you dont see that in windows ? | 05:15 |
| patifa | DrifterSX: They want to mess with the settings to make them work. | 05:15 |
| DrifterSX | no | 05:15 |
| earthling | roshane: you will have to set the action keys first. i dont remember exactly how? so cant be of much help now :( | 05:15 |

| DrifterSX | idk about mac tho | 05:15 |
| patifa | eross: :) | 05:16 |
| DrifterSX | its not linux's fault | 05:16 |

| eross | i been here before with 6.06, etc.. | 05:16 |
| DrifterSX | u misinterpreted | 05:16 |
| eross | play games and run game server | 05:16 |
| ubuntuROX | I think linux is ahead of the technology, somehow it manages to stop me from having to spend hours removing spyware and virus infections from my computers, and they run fast from the day its installed till its time for an upgrade,,, plus I think its kinda nice getting a new toy every six months or so in a new version, and without having to make Mr. Gates richer... | 05:16 |
| mgregsond | DrifterSX: I agree, your point is valid. | 05:16 |
| calc | whee need itunes to buy DRM'd music that will at some future date stop working, see MSN music being shut down | 05:16 |

| mgregsond | DrifterSX: It's getting there though. | 05:16 |
| osiris | enough politics. back to problems | 05:16 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: Microsoft spent exactly $0 and 0 days making iPods work in Windows. Apple did the work. you want your iPod in Linux? talk to the same people that made it "just work" in Windows. Apple. | 05:17 |

| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| warriorforgod | bigtimer121: I use gtkpod | 05:17 |
| sourgrape | Rhythmbox works well with my iPod | 05:17 |
| Alinon | warriorforgod: i've always been able to install ubuntu in the passed, but for some reason with build 8.04 i'm getting a wierd error when the partitioner starts to load stating something about 1024 bytes and something about it being experiemental | 05:17 |
| earthling | roshane: cant help there either. ask other here | 05:17 |
| mgregsond | bigtimer121: AmaroK | 05:17 |
| legend2440 | SiCkNeSs-: i did but had to go back to 3. the addons in 2 wouldn't install or uninstall under hardy | 05:17 |
| * calc is pretty sure if he felt like plugging his ipod into his ubuntu 8.04 laptop it would just work | 05:17 | |
| zionpsyfer | bigtimer121: gtkpod or amarok or rhythmbox | 05:17 |
| DrifterSX | i hate ipods just using them as a "technology" example since so many poeple have them | 05:17 |
| warriorforgod | Alinon: Can you give me the exact error message? | 05:17 |
| DrifterSX | and dont WE want more PEOPLE to use ubuntu | 05:17 |
| enterusername | hello | 05:17 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: it applies to any device. | 05:17 |
| sourgrape | Drifter - and for a while - iPods didn't work in Windows | 05:18 |
| eross | the new background is a step up from the usual brown color, I like it | 05:18 |
| Mimi | !offtopic | 05:18 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 05:18 |
| DrifterSX | ya for a while | 05:18 |
| bigtimer121 | mgregsond: i use amarok, but when i drag the songs over it won't put it on the ipod. you know what i should check | 05:18 |
| Alinon | warriorforgod: after that i click ok but the paritioner never starts, i've never the regular installer, wubi and the atlernative install they all do the same thing | 05:18 |
| monkeybritches | I hate the fact that people think iPod is synonymous with mp3 player | 05:18 |
| DrifterSX | i cant even get my psp to work on here | 05:18 |
| === enterusername is now known as EnterUserName | ||
| mneptok | DrifterSX: define "work" | 05:18 |
| eboyjr | I like brown... its my favorite color, next to oragne | 05:18 |
| ubuntuROX | I think its a stupid decision to buy things that are locked into one vendor... | 05:18 |
| DrifterSX | well i havent tried it in 8.04 but my guess is a big no no | 05:18 |
| warriorforgod | Alinon: Have you run any disk checks for errors on the drive? | 05:18 |

| roshane | can someone recommend a chat program similar to MSN on windows that i can use to view a webcam? can Pidgin do it? | 05:18 |
| monkeybritches | Like when my friend was saying she wasnted to get a cheap iPod and couldn't grasp it when I told her there was no such thing. | 05:18 |
| amrik | Hi, how do I configure Evolution to read an IMAP server for the list of remote folders? | 05:18 |
| Alinon | yeap it's fine | 05:19 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: my PSP mounts and displays its memory card with no fuss in both Gutsy and Hardy | 05:19 |
| ubuntuROX | skype Roshane | 05:19 |
| osiris | so does ANYONE know how to force xorg.conf to generate a REAL conf file ? | 05:19 |
| patifa | amrik: Look for 'subscribe' | 05:19 |
| DrifterSX | umm change any video file from avi, divx etc to mp4 and transfer it onto my psp all in one click | 05:19 |
| warriorforgod | Alinon: ext3 filesystem? | 05:19 |
| Alinon | no it's not | 05:19 |
| DrifterSX | oo a memory card lol | 05:19 |
| ubuntuROX | webcam works great in skype | 05:19 |
| eross | accelerated nvidia =) | 05:19 |
| milly1234 | my generic flash memory usb connected mp3 player is all my fiance needs, just basically a flashdrive with a mp3 player built around it | 05:19 |
| patifa | amrik: "subscribe" is the keyword in IMAP for dealing with folders and whatnot | 05:19 |
| Scunizi | roshane, skype or ekiga.. ekiga is typically already installed | 05:19 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: well, that's what the PSP does. that's all it does. | 05:19 |
| Alinon | warriorforgod: it's ntfs but that's what it's always been in the passed too | 05:19 |
| eross | brb | 05:19 |
| calc | DrifterSX: there is probably a tool to do that, i stream videos/music/photos from Ubuntu to my PS3, was easy | 05:19 |
| sourgrape | Skype, Ekiga or aMSN for webcam | 05:19 |
| DrifterSX | will my webcam form my ps3 (psEyetoy 2) work for skype in ubuntu?? | 05:19 |
| roshane | ubuntuROX does the other person have to have it too? | 05:19 |
| pinno | anyone having problems putting in the password in the terminal and not being able to type numbers? | 05:19 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: PSPvc | 05:20 |
| warriorforgod | Alinon: So you are installing ubuntu on an NTFS partition? | 05:20 |
| DrifterSX | ps3 is way more suited for that tho | 05:20 |
| milly1234 | pinno, numlock? | 05:20 |
| DrifterSX | pspvc NEVER works | 05:20 |
| roshane | Scunizi the person is using Windows Vista | 05:20 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: i have converted every Batman animated episode ever made to PSP format using nothing but Linux. | 05:20 |
| osiris | pinno, no, but all my keybindings in vi seem wrong now | 05:20 |
| monkeybritches | osiris: Have you tried configuring it from a console login after a reboot? | 05:20 |
| ubuntuROX | yes, they will need skype to see your webcam, but its free for windows too | 05:20 |
| patifa | pinno: I have a bug where my numlock key is lit up upon startup, but isn't actually active till I jab numlock a few times to synchronize the light with the real state of the numlock | 05:20 |
| DrifterSX | nice job | 05:20 |
| Scunizi | roshane, amsn or skype then | 05:20 |
| DrifterSX | i just use pspvideo9 | 05:20 |

| DrifterSX | it does it for me, but not in linux | 05:20 |
| amrik | patifa: do you mean the "only check subscribed folders" option in receiving email? | 05:20 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: works here. and on my girlfriend's machine. and on my friend's machine ruinning Fedora. | 05:20 |
| osiris | monkeybritches, i cant find an example syntax to go by | 05:20 |
| pinno | ah kk ill check | 05:20 |
| lop | hi | 05:21 |
| DrifterSX | how do i install it?? | 05:21 |
| pinno | well i can type numbers in everything else but in the terminal | 05:21 |
| eboyjr | I don't like the font that Ubuntu uses for everything... the title bars, application text, 3d objects, etc... Any ideas on how to change this? | 05:21 |
| DrifterSX | im not compiling or unpacking or whatever | 05:21 |
| Tixer | I have a problem on a Xubuntu server I manage. The server responds to ping, I can SSH / VNC into it, but it can't access any sites other than the router it uses. I even tried pinging 4.2.2.1, which doesn't work. Any ideas? | 05:21 |
| osiris | but yes, that is what im intending to do. didnt know i would need my old xorg.conf for an upgrade | 05:21 |
| ubuntuROX | roshane skype has windows, mac, and linux clients | 05:21 |
| roshane | Scunizi can u use synaptic to get amsn? | 05:21 |

| Don_Miguel | Hello all ... | 05:21 |
| DrifterSX | sudo apt-get install pspvc? | 05:21 |
| Don_Miguel | Problem: IDE (working) partitions not visible after Gutsy net-upgrade to Hardy on SATA note: those IDE still show in BIOS, see Paste: http://pastebin.com/m6cd001d4 | 05:21 |
| pinno | once it asks for a password in the terminal i cant type anything in it | 05:21 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: download the package from Sourceforge. install the dependent packages and build-essential, then compile it according to the instructions | 05:21 |
| sourgrape | system / preferences / appearance | 05:21 |
| monkeybritches | Type: sudo dpkg-config xserver-xorg | 05:21 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: PSPvc has no .deb yet, and is not in the repos | 05:22 |
| DrifterSX | idk what any of that means except for the download part | 05:22 |
| arooni-mobileaas | help! my poor gutsy desktop cant connect to a wpa personal enabled network. i have installed wpasupplicant. what should i do? | 05:22 |
| amrik | patifa: I'm still unsure how to "subscribe" so as to get all my folders to show up | 05:22 |
| DrifterSX | well there u go | 05:22 |
| calc | DrifterSX: pspvideo9 uses ffmpeg, which is originally a linux app | 05:22 |
| osiris | monkeybritches, tried that one already | 05:22 |
| DrifterSX | this seems to be WAY easy | 05:22 |
| DrifterSX | i know calc | 05:22 |
| Alinon | warriorforgod: you get my PM? | 05:22 |
| osiris | monkeybritches, you dont get a dialog to set resolution | 05:22 |
| calc | DrifterSX: so just use ffmpeg directly and tell it to output psp format | 05:22 |
| DrifterSX | ffmpeg never worx for me either | 05:22 |
| monkeybritches | I meant sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:23 |
| DrifterSX | i need a gui program i can just click "self explanitory" buttons | 05:23 |
| andylcp | what is ffmpeg? | 05:23 |
| Danikar | My windows partition isn't mounting when I first log into Ubuntu. It use to though. How can I make it so that it does? | 05:23 |
| ubuntuROX | I wonder what video card the developers are running? seems like there is always some bugginess with nvidia and ati drivers. | 05:23 |
| crdlb | osiris: what video card do you have? | 05:23 |
| DrifterSX | i dont want to go through all this headache of unpacking, compiling, or whatever | 05:23 |
| warriorforgod | Alinon: no. | 05:23 |
| amnatz | slim is not dual screen gui ?! | 05:23 |
| pinno | got it working thanks for the help | 05:23 |
| DrifterSX | way too much work, and i usually never do it right and some how mess up my ubuntu | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | eboyjr, System -> Preferences -> Appearance, You can also use any microsoft fonts from the "msttcorefonts" package if you don't like those available by default | 05:24 |
| calc | andylcp: look in synaptic | 05:24 |
| Scunizi | DrifterSX, learn or revert back to M$ | 05:24 |
| amnatz | what for dual screen ? | 05:24 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: so we can sum up your argument with, "Windows really sucks. Linux sucks because it's not more like Windows." ;) | 05:24 |
| sourgrape | amnatz - slim is a window manager, and it covers both my screens when it comes up | 05:24 |
| ubuntuROX | LOL | 05:24 |
| eboyjr | Jordan_U, Oh, yeah.. I had those downloaded already. | 05:24 |
| roshane | Scunizi what do i use as the log info? the info i used for MSN on windows? | 05:24 |
| DrifterSX | lol | 05:24 |
| eboyjr | Thanks | 05:24 |
| DrifterSX | sure.. | 05:24 |
| earthling | Danikar: pastebin your fstab | 05:24 |
| calc | DrifterSX: i'm pretty sure clicking install ffmpeg in synaptic doesn't involve any of those steps | 05:24 |
| andylcp | calc:oh,thank you!I will go | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | eboyjr, np | 05:24 |
| Scunizi | roshane, yes.. it connect to msn | 05:24 |

| balgarath | anyone here use ies4linux to do all the ie stuff for webpages? I'm having trouble getting it to view a page on localhost. says it cannot find server.. | 05:24 |
| DrifterSX | yeah but using ffmpeg never does anything for me | 05:25 |
| * calc bbl, back to work | 05:25 | |
| DrifterSX | i just fixed synaptic so let me try it | 05:25 |
| sourgrape | balgarath... can you view the webpage in firefox? | 05:25 |
| ubuntuROX | Trick to really enjoying linux is to find programs linux native programs to do the stuff you used windows aps for. | 05:25 |
| calc | DrifterSX: dunno, i never had the time to actually encode a video for my psp | 05:25 |
| Scunizi | balgarath, with that issue ie4lin won't help | 05:25 |

| ubuntuROX | once you do, you may find the linux programs have more features, or just make more sense to use. | 05:25 |
| DrifterSX | i keep mine updated | 05:25 |
| roshane | Scunizi...it works perfect, thank you | 05:25 |
| Scunizi | roshane, np | 05:26 |

| sourgrape | balgarath - curious. What if you substitude 127.0.0.1 for localhost? | 05:27 |
| Scunizi | balgarath, doesn't sound like it's a prob with ies4lin.. it uses the same path as FF in ubuntu.. so if FF works so should ies4lin.. | 05:27 |

| earthling | Danikar: which is the win partition? | 05:27 |
| Danikar | sda1 | 05:27 |
| sourgrape | Drifter - just think - if you stick with it and become a linux expert, you won't have to pay 400 dollars for Windows 2009's "upgrade" | 05:27 |
| mneptok | DrifterSX: http://artlung.com/smorgasborg/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml <--- read the "MGBs, Tanks, and Batmobiles" part. fun stuff. | 05:27 |
| balgarath | Scunizi, FF works and ies doesn't.... | 05:27 |

| DrifterSX | synaptic shows that i have ffmpeg installed but i dont know how to use it | 05:28 |

| mneptok | DrifterSX: i can help you get PSPvc set up, since i opened my mouth | 05:29 |
| hyde | hello what commands need to write so amarok reads my sony mp3 | 05:29 |
| calc | sourgrape: which is why there are so few installs of vista so far, no one wants to buy it but it comes preinstalled so they are stuck with it on new machines | 05:29 |
| fde | DrifterSX: you already have one :) | 05:29 |
| Mattevt | would anyone be able to tell me why the orientation of the (Application Places System) is on the right instead of the left of the taskbar? | 05:29 |
| Scunizi | balgarath, for ie access to sites that require it I use VMWare server and install an old copy of w2kpro or xp | 05:29 |
| DrifterSX | ok if u have time im down for iyt | 05:29 |
| crdlb | osiris: hmm, that's quite obscure :) | 05:29 |
| calc | sourgrape: very few sales of the upgrades actually | 05:29 |
| DrifterSX | fde? | 05:29 |
| Danikar | earthling, Do i need antying for options? | 05:29 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | osiris: i didnt see it in the list - which one is it | 05:29 |
| fde | DrifterSX: if you installed 'gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg' then just play the movie in Totem :) | 05:29 |
| ENeGMA | I've been having a lot of stability issues since downloading the 8.04 beta and even the latest updates seem to do nothing to fix them -- is there any way to solve this? | 05:29 |
| Scunizi | Mattevt, drag it where you want it. | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | idyllic, 'firefox' is simply the startup script ( checks for other running instances, used in launchers ) firefox-bin is the actual program | 05:29 |
| osiris | crdlb, its a 600mhz compaq lappy | 05:29 |
| iMatter | Uhm how can i disable SELinux or is there a configuration GUI for it? | 05:29 |

| fde | DrifterSX: Applications > Sound & Video > Movie Player | 05:29 |
| idyllic | jordan_U: there is no firefox-bin in 8.04 . i checked the system monitor | 05:29 |
| DrifterSX | i hate totem | 05:29 |
| Mattevt | Scunizi: I can drag the buttons, but the menus don't seem to move | 05:29 |
| crdlb | osiris: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log . See if it says VESA or TRIDENT a few dozen times on the left | 05:29 |
| calc | sourgrape: there were some numbers published a while back about pc sales vs number of vista installs, and its pretty much just preinstalled, very few box sales of vista | 05:29 |
| osiris | N1N31NCHN41L6, you want the add to panel option | 05:29 |
| balgarath | Scunizi, thanks for the tip | 05:29 |
| genii | iMatter: kernel option: selinux=0 | 05:29 |
| earthling | Danikar: what is the partition type for your windows partition? | 05:30 |

| ubuntuROX | Microsofts Vista is the best MS product ever... It caused me to switch to linux :) | 05:30 |
| sourgrape | bal - does IES have some weird proxy set up for local host? | 05:30 |
| calc | ubuntuROX: exactly ;-) | 05:30 |
| fde | DrifterSX: Then install 'vlc' it's in the archive :) | 05:30 |
| DrifterSX | lol ubunturox | 05:30 |
| Danikar | earthling, ntfs? | 05:30 |
| Danikar | earthling, /dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs default 0 0 is what i think i need | 05:30 |
| hyde | hello what commands need to write so amarok reads my sony mp3 | 05:30 |
| DrifterSX | i ahve it duhsky | 05:30 |
| calc | ubuntuROX: actually vista isn't that bad if you reinstall it cleanly getting rid of all the crud from factory | 05:30 |
| hyde | hello what commands need to write so amarok reads my sony mp3 | 05:30 |

| Scunizi | Mattevt, you might have to right mouse click the area and unlock | 05:30 |
| DrifterSX | vista is actually pretty cool SOMETIMES | 05:30 |
| ENeGMA | Vista didn't crash on me as much as 8.04 is | 05:30 |
| DrifterSX | i hate all the spyware on any windows machine tho | 05:31 |
| ubuntuROX | LOL,, but "not bad" is not as good as my Ubuntu systems :) | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | idyllic, Hmm, let me see if firefox-3 still uses a separate launcher script... | 05:31 |
| calc | ubuntuROX: note that doesn't circumvent any licensing or anything, just reinstalls an OEM system without the crap | 05:31 |
| earthling | Danikar: u have to be sure | 05:31 |
| DrifterSX | i just wish we could use directX10 or 11 or whatever it is now | 05:31 |
| idyllic | Jordan_U: thank you. I can't even strace -f <PID/any process>. I tried with opera as well. Same error | 05:31 |
| balgarath | sourgrape, no I don't believe so | 05:31 |
| Danikar | earthling, Oh well it is definetly ntfs. | 05:31 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | osiris: can it be done? | 05:31 |
| calc | i reinstalled vista on my laptop on sunday to test out some hard drive stuff (the hdparm -B 254 thing) | 05:31 |
| Danikar | earthling, Do i need to know anything else about it | 05:32 |
| * Scunizi thinks DrifterSX is either really new to linux or just trolling | 05:32 | |
| sessh1234 | k i just switched to ubuntu 8.04 from gentoo, in gentoo i had rc-update for modifying runlevels, is there an ubuntu equivalent? | 05:32 |
| DrifterSX | im not new to linux lol | 05:32 |
| DrifterSX | but not all that seasoned either | 05:32 |
| sourgrape | Balgarath - it's boggling me noggin. Did that tip work from Scunzi? | 05:32 |
| Scunizi | DrifterSX, then you must be trolling | 05:32 |
| DrifterSX | i get by alot better now | 05:32 |
| * mneptok points DrifterSX to a /msg window | 05:32 | |
| fde | sessh1234: apt-cache search runlevel ... update-rc.d is popular. | 05:32 |
| Mattevt | Scunizi: "Lock to Panel" is unchecked...I don't think the (Applications Places System) menus are moveable...I can move the buttons along the taskbar, just not the three main menus | 05:32 |
| ubuntuROX | I agree,, vista is not bad, It was the bomb for me,, like I said,, it made me take another look at linux and now I am delighted.. | 05:32 |
| DrifterSX | im trying to get calc to help me get pspvc working | 05:32 |

| calc | DrifterSX: someone else was talking about pspvc | 05:33 |
| Danikar | earthling, earthling, /dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs default 0 0 | 05:33 |
| fde | sessh1234: Remember, on Debian/Ubuntu 2-5 are the same thing by default. | 05:33 |
| Scunizi | Mattevt, try to add another application menu to the bar and place it where you want it.. if it works delete the other one. | 05:33 |
| DrifterSX | someone was gona show me how pspvc works, not the damn ca,mera calc | 05:33 |

| crdlb | sessh1234: tilde | 05:34 |

| InfernoX222 | does neone know how to get madwifi-source to install? apt-get install madwifi-source dosnt work and synaptic dosnt have it either | 05:34 |
| Scunizi | sessh1234, yes.. I just read about it the other day.. but for the life of me I can't remember the name. | 05:34 |
| Alinon | this happens when the the partitioner starts...but it just sits there forever | 05:34 |
| osiris | crdlb, trident | 05:34 |
| ubuntuROX | whats with real player? I had to do the bin install, then remove the mplayer plugins to for rm to get it to work. Should be a package that does all that | 05:34 |
| fde | sessh1234: Same one you used in Gentoo... apt-cache search <whatever-you-used-in-gentoo> ... it'll be in Ubuntu, I'd bet :) | 05:34 |
| ENeGMA | is there any solution to the problem with sound dropping out in 8.04? | 05:34 |
| earthling | Danikar: your entry will be some thing like " /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs uid=1000,gid=100 0 0" | 05:34 |
| sessh1234 | i didnt have it in gentoo | 05:34 |
| sessh1234 | it was a kde thing | 05:34 |
| sessh1234 | ive seen it before | 05:34 |
| sessh1234 | i wanted know if gnome had something similar | 05:35 |
| nomasteryoda | ENeGMA, cutting out while on battery?... i don't have it in kde if that's a plus | 05:35 |
| nomasteryoda | or work around | 05:35 |
| Scunizi | sessh1234, that's what I was referring to | 05:35 |
| earthling | Danikar: you will have to create /mnt/sda1 or have at a place convinient to you | 05:35 |
| ENeGMA | no, on ac | 05:35 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | i want a terminal shortcut on desktop or in menu nars | 05:35 |

| balgarath | sourgrape, that got it, as long as I put http:// in front of the IP | 05:36 |
| Mattevt | Scunizi: thanks. I think I can work with this | 05:36 |

| sessh1234 | nomasteryoda: its not LSP J. Robinson is it | 05:38 |
| sourgrape | Balgarath - you're right there, I think with IE intergration, it tries to connect via SMB first, probably blows up in IE4linux | 05:38 |

| mojo | Little help please with problematic gutsy-server > hardy-server upgrade. Server is headless. Updated/Upgraded Gutsy and ran do-release-upgrade over an SSH connection. Fell asleep before it finished, found SSH session terminated after sitting there prompting me about a config file update. Had to shut down, install video card, kbd, monitor, and ran the update/upgrade & do-release-upgrade from console. Fails to find new release. "sudo | 05:42 |
| mojo | dpkg --configure -a" gives this result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8828/ THANKS! | 05:42 |
| sourgrape | Sven - I've seen it done in Perl before, I just don't have access to those scripts anymore to show you | 05:42 |
| genii | sven_oostenbrink: Perhaps you may want to look at rsync instead | 05:42 |
| earthling | nomasteryoda: did you have atheros card | 05:42 |
| sven_oostenbrink | sourgrape> I could do it in PHP :) But need it done in bash | 05:43 |
| sourgrape | ah | 05:43 |
| ubuntuROX | sven its easy | 05:43 |
| sessh1234 | lol, well thanks for all the help ppl. i gotta go for now | 05:43 |
| balgarath | you guys recommend any specific hardware to go with/stay away from when building a desktop? or and good companies that build linux computers (cheaply)? | 05:43 |

| nomasteryoda | ah... nope.. I have intel card... thought I know one person with an atheros... he's been using hardy since alpha 2 | 05:43 |
| sven_oostenbrink | genii> rsync does FTP? one problem is, locally Im talking about 50 different directories, remote about 1 only.. and its a one way copy only as well | 05:43 |
| adnaps | where do i place a script to perform ifconfig ra0 up on startup? | 05:43 |

| genii | sven_oostenbrink: You may find some bash scripts to modify for that purpose here http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/autoftp.shtml | 05:44 |

| amnatz | thx for help sourgrape | 05:45 |
| genii | sourgrape: Thanks | 05:45 |
| amnatz | ++ | 05:45 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : will try, thanks | 05:45 |
| Flannel | Don_Miguel: they've been mapped to SATA. they're all sdX's now | 05:45 |
| nomasteryoda | look into the folder... or some files there | 05:46 |
| earthling | nomasteryoda: athros n5523 | 05:46 |
| Scunizi | N1N31NCHN41L6, who told you to delete /boot/grub.. that's what start your system | 05:46 |
| sourgrape | amnatz - well, it was worth what you paid for it :) Good luck | 05:46 |
| nomasteryoda | ... if not, then look at the session manager for gnome adnaps | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | N1N31NCHN41L6, By whom were you told to delete /boot/grub ? In most cases that will prevent your system from booting | 05:46 |
| mojo | fde:: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8830/ | 05:46 |
| nomasteryoda | down under system, session | 05:46 |
| Mathman | balgarath: sun puts out some really sweet systems if you want to have a name brand behind it. hp if you don't want to spend as much as sun costs. spose it depends on your situation really | 05:46 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel: thanks, I'll go look ... again! | 05:46 |
| mojo | fde:: and thanks for looking :) | 05:46 |
| Alinon | i have the exact error message now - this is what i get when the Ubuntu partitioner begins to scan my hdd's - WARNING device /dev/dss has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all parts of GNU parted support this at the moment, and the working code is high experiemental. Then it just sits where scanning but never does anything. | 05:46 |
| roshane | new help..i'm not getting some videos to play online | 05:46 |
| mojo | roshane:: format? | 05:46 |
| shthap3ns | hi all, i'm running HH(server). could someone kindly tell me the command to install the GUI desktop? | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, Try right clicking them and "open in totem movie player" | 05:47 |
| balgarath | Mathman, I'll probably take your advice and build myself | 05:47 |
| fde | mojo: Take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list ... has it been changed to hardy? | 05:47 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | i need to delete - then sudo grub-install /dev/sda then sudo update-grub - i got 2 os and the grub only lets me run one | 05:47 |
| Flannel | shthap3ns: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 05:47 |
| roshane | flash | 05:47 |
| mojo | shthap3ns:: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 05:47 |
| shthap3ns | thanks, Flannel! | 05:47 |
| Flannel | shthap3ns: You'll (probably) also want to switch to the generic kernel, if you plan on using this as a desktop machine | 05:47 |
| earthling | nomasteryoda: its a wireless ethernet adapter. not a wifi card you put in the laptop slot but one that has a big antena that goes to the roof top. SUB-326 i guess | 05:47 |
| sourgrape | balgarath - nothing like cutting your hands on your own PC's sheet metal case =) | 05:47 |
| Alinon | anyone have a clue as to what the deal is? i've never had problems installing ubuntu until 8.04 | 05:47 |
| fde | mojo: Also, in this particular case, don't use aptitude, it is far better in most cases, but may be compounding the issue currently... | 05:47 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | any ideas | 05:47 |
| dragonSteel | yo | 05:47 |
| Jaggednz | roshane: Installed Ubuntu extras ? | 05:47 |
| eboyjr | Flannel, you are on here a lot, correct? | 05:48 |
| balgarath | sourgrape, been there :) | 05:48 |
| shthap3ns | Flannel: i'm still going to run it as a server. i'm just too noob to use the command line :( | 05:48 |
| bjron | hmm, just installed xubuntu on a machine and it seems the max resolution is 600x800 according to display settings. I had a look at the xorg.conf and it seems pretty minimal these days (no mention of allowed resolutions even), so where is the settings manager getting them? | 05:48 |
| BIOHazard87 | Hey all :) | 05:48 |
| roshane | jaggednz not sure | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get remove gnash #In case you have gnash and unless you actually want it | 05:48 |
| Flannel | shthap3ns: Ah, you may want xubuntu-desktop then instead, it's more lightweight | 05:48 |
| Mathman | balgarath: you get the same support really, warranties and all that. but then if you need 200 systems by next week, well, I dunno. | 05:48 |
| earthling | Scunizi: what did u mean by server install? | 05:48 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | fde - when installing anothoe desktop aptitude works great for me | 05:48 |
| Scunizi | N1N31NCHN41L6, maybe just try the update gub line | 05:48 |
| Flannel | eboyjr: that's a safe assumption | 05:48 |
| eboyjr | Why is there an op called FloodBot1? | 05:48 |
| ubuntuROX | sven,, accept that file, its has the bash script for ftp | 05:48 |
| sourgrape | mmmm Xubuntu... crunchy goodness | 05:48 |
| Starnestommy | eboyjr: it's used to stop flooding | 05:48 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | after the install - there is NO gub on my puppy linux os | 05:48 |
| BIOHazard87 | Does anyone have problems with their Volume Manager crashing in Ubuntu 8.04, which breaks sound, also it prevents you from pressing the Power button on the top right | 05:49 |
| Scunizi | earthling, I have server installed and running on wireless | 05:49 |
| shthap3ns | Flannel: gotcha. so: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop? | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | eboyjr, It's a bot which bans people if they start flooding, the human ops all op themselves only when needed | 05:49 |
| fde | N1N31NCHN41L6: Aptitude is awesome... I use it almost exclusively, but it tries to install Suggests by default, and thus widens the realm of the possible issues... | 05:49 |
| eboyjr | Starnestommy, Oh, okay lol | 05:49 |
| Flannel | shthap3ns: Yep | 05:49 |
| mojo | fde:: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8831/ (short answer yes) | 05:49 |
| Scunizi | earthling, w/ atheros chipset | 05:49 |
| kravlin | I just upgraded to Hardy. Unfortunately the sudo command returns sudo: unable to resolve host Evidence. While evidence is the name of the computer i'm kinda stuck. can someone help? | 05:49 |
| fde | N1N31NCHN41L6: There is a switch to turn it off, but meh | 05:49 |
| shthap3ns | Flannel: thanks much! | 05:49 |
| Flannel | !hostname | kravlin | 05:49 |
| ubottu | kravlin: 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 | 05:49 |
| earthling | Scunizi: great !!! how are you making it work? | 05:49 |
| Flannel | kravlin: you can reboot to the recovery console to fix it if you need to | 05:49 |
| nomasteryoda | earthling, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473379&page=4 | 05:50 |
| Alinon | whenever i try to install Ubuntu, i boot from the disc, then i get to the point where the partitioner starts then i get this message: WARNING device /dev/dss has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all parts of GNU parted support this at the moment, and the working code is high experiemental. Then it just sits where scanning but never does anything. | 05:50 |
| Scunizi | earthling, I had to install the restricted drivers | 05:50 |
| fde | mojo: update and try to reinstall that package perhaps? | 05:50 |
| kravlin | Flannel: the question is how do i fix it. | 05:50 |
| Jaggednz | roshane: Ubuntu restricted extras | 05:50 |
| mojo | fde:: E: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.24-server | 05:50 |
| mojo | (using apt-get to install | 05:50 |
| nomasteryoda | earthling, following the methods of ndiswrapper it would seem... should do it... get the windows driver from the mfg site and using ndiswrapper | 05:50 |
| Mathman | kravlin: eh, /etc/hosts is all that matters I bet really. unless you went mucking about with /etc/nsswitch.conf or something. but yeah, it wouldn't hurt to get all that junk consistent anyhow. | 05:50 |
| earthling | nomasteryoda: going throughnit now | 05:50 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | fde - just saying i had betterl luck installing xubuntu deskyop with aptitutude | 05:50 |
| nomasteryoda | k | 05:50 |
| testify | Is it still not possible to setup a static IP wireless WPA network using network-manager? | 05:51 |
| roshane | Jordan_U install the flashplugin and its still not working | 05:51 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | hey why would a comp run faster with ubuntu and compiz than it did just straight xubuntu | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, sudo apt-get install linux-image-server | 05:51 |
| mojo | fde:: what is the proper package name? i'd check w/synaptic on my desktop but it's amd64 arch vs i386 on the server | 05:51 |
| roshane | Jordan_U its just saying loading | 05:51 |
| fde | mojo: There is no reason it shouldn't be able to find that package after 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-16-server | 05:51 |
| Flannel | kravlin: the info ubottu gave you talks about how to fix it | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, Can you give an example link? | 05:51 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel: the only SDs I see are those from the original Gutsy install ... and none of the IDEs appear now. Any hints for finding them again ? | 05:51 |
| earthling | nomasteryoda: i tried ndiswraper.. i have amd64.. could that be that i require 64bit driver? | 05:51 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : where in modprobe.d? | 05:52 |
| Mathman | N1N31NCHN41L6: define faster | 05:52 |
| Flannel | Don_Miguel: All of your IDE drives should be in /dev/ under sdX, do `sudo fdisk -l` | 05:52 |
| Fezzler | I upgraded to Hardy. Where do I check my monitor is correctly selected? Desktop Effects EXTRA! doesn't work anymore. | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | hang on adnaps | 05:52 |
| roshane | Jordan_U http://video.xnxx.com/video15432/Hot_Girls_by_the_Pool not the best link but hey | 05:52 |
| balgarath | OT, but anyone know of a good writeup explaining all the different intel processors? I've not kept up at all | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | earthling, if there is one... i would try it... | 05:52 |
| fde | mojo: ahh... throw the -16- part in when explicitly installing it... | 05:52 |
| Flannel | balgarath: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | if you are using 64bit version of ubuntu | 05:52 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | Mathman: everything from program response time to opening a terminal to computing to office functions | 05:52 |
| DIL | Alinon, how is your disk formatted | 05:52 |
| balgarath | Flannel, will do | 05:53 |
| nomasteryoda | adnaps, would be a better place for the ifup command... under networking | 05:53 |
| Shadow_X | how do I change the resolution used when Ubuntu shows its splash screen during bootup? | 05:53 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel: OK, going to try that sudo fdisk -l thanks ... | 05:53 |
| DATmafia | if i screwed up my resolution so i can't read it-how do u change it back really quickl | 05:53 |
| earthling | nomasteryoda,Scunizi: thanks people .. if it works out i will let u know!!! | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, Works fine here :) ( but in the future please don't post questionable links, this channel is supposed to be 'family friendly ) | 05:53 |
| Hellsadvocate | hey guys, quick question, in ubuntu for my macbook pro, everytime i try to close the lid while ubuntu is on, it makes this High pitched sound. | 05:53 |
| ubuntuROX | put the backup copy of xorg.conf you made before you screwed it up back :) | 05:53 |
| fde | mojo: The original command correctly attempted that though, but I'm guessing it hadn't updated yet at that point... | 05:54 |
| DATmafia | :) | 05:54 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | so know idea on what to use instead of the command delete | 05:54 |
| ruben | Hi all. We had a problem with our windows2K server and I had to come up with a new server. I used ubuntu. The server has 2 partitions. In one of them we installed a program, but since we no longer have Terminal Services, we cant open it. | 05:54 |
| TheToff | HH sound problem: I can get my USB headphones working under some applications but not others. Prior to upgrade VLC worked fine with them, now not so much. Anyone have any ideas? | 05:54 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, Did you also check to make sure that gnash was not installed? | 05:54 |
| fde | N1N31NCHN41L6: rm ? | 05:54 |
| roshane | Jordan_U sorry, i just couldnt find a better example because youtube works fine | 05:54 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : yes, i added ifconfig ra0 to interfaces in /etc/network/ but it didnt do a thing | 05:54 |
| Mathman | N1N31NCHN41L6: short answer? gnome with compiz works better than xfce on your setup. at least seemingly at any rate. hate to nitpick, but I don't suppose you've been very scientific about your benchmarks here. | 05:54 |
| ruben | Is it possible to install something like terminal services to share that windows program under ubuntu? | 05:54 |
| fde | N1N31NCHN41L6: rm -r or rmdir removes directories... | 05:54 |
| mojo | fde:: Jordan_U:: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/8833/ | 05:54 |
| mojo | fde:: i did the sudo aptitude update | 05:55 |
| nomasteryoda | adnaps, ok.. so did you have to issue a modprobe for that wireless driver? | 05:55 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, That sounds like gnash, it works with youtube but not most other sites, please try removing gnash | 05:55 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : nope, after compiling the driver i had to insmod but never had to modprobe it | 05:55 |
| roshane | Jordan_U how do i do that? | 05:55 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | Mathman: how can i be scientific - xubuntu used to lock up all the time - ubuntu and compiz DONT | 05:55 |
| nomasteryoda | ah... so is it loaded now? | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | roshane, sudo apt-get remove gnash | 05:56 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | and its a PIII with 256RAM | 05:56 |
| AnthroTechie | Hey, I just upgraded to 8.04 and have installed advanced-desktop-effects-settings, but I it still says "desktop effects could not be enabled" | 05:56 |
| fde | mojo: At that point, I'd have you take a look at the post-inst script... and at least have it pointing to the right file, but I'd rather not assist someone else with that... | 05:56 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : im using it :p i just want it to start automatically and be recognised by network manager | 05:56 |
| nomasteryoda | ok | 05:56 |
| nomasteryoda | ic | 05:56 |
| Mathman | N1N31NCHN41L6: well now you're changing the whole story around anyway. I thought xfce was just slow. now it's crashing all the time. | 05:56 |
| nomasteryoda | doh | 05:56 |
| fde | mojo: My public answer: Backup important files, and reinstall .... apologies | 05:56 |
| Hellsadvocate | Anyone? know how to solve this? | 05:57 |
| Fezzler | It seems like when I turn on Extra Visual Effects it changes my Advanced Desktop Setting and visa versa | 05:57 |
| roshane | Jordan_U what should i see to know that it was successfully removed? | 05:57 |
| mojo | fde:: i run webmin on it and backed up the modules i use. is that enough? | 05:57 |
| fde | mojo: I have no idea as I refuse to use webmin... | 05:57 |
| Xulthus | why not | 05:58 |
| Mathman | Hellsadvocate: screw around with the bios? change it from s1 to s3 or whatever as far as the apci hibernate or whatever the heck goes? | 05:58 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | Permission denied | 05:58 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : for some reason my network manager isnt loading anymore either :( but before i had to right click > disable networking then right click > enable networking to get it to recognise | 05:58 |
| fde | mojo: backing up /etc/ and whatever services you have should be enough. | 05:58 |
| mojo | you have a better suggestion for admin of a headless server/router? | 05:58 |
| z0rz | I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibson and I installed mybuntu-desktop. It told me the sql password and I clicked forward. It said the installation was complete (but I never got the screen that asked if I wanted to setup a frontend/backend) so I rebooted. Now instead of a ubuntu logo on boot I have the mythbuntu logo... and it get's stuck there | 05:58 |
| fde | mojo: ssh | 05:58 |
| roshane | Jordan_U its still just saying loading | 05:58 |
| nomasteryoda | adnaps, did you try installing wicd instead? | 05:58 |
| mojo | fde:: i use that too | 05:58 |
| ubuntuROX | Does anyone know if the 64bit version is pretty stable and works well with flash and the usual stuff now? | 05:58 |
| nomasteryoda | its on wicd.sourceforge.net | 05:58 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, I might be able to help, wait a second | 05:58 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : i have not ... ill give it a go now | 05:58 |
| nomasteryoda | just my suggestion | 05:58 |
| mojo | fde:: webmin makes some easier for me, esp. squid and shorewall | 05:59 |
| fde | mojo: Webmin tends to break things for me, and isn't at all secure. | 05:59 |
| nomasteryoda | it will remove net-applet... | 05:59 |
| anachronoks | I've been having some serious problems with Hardy that weren't present with Feisty. Mostly related to audio/video, but also where Firefox crashes and brings down the entire system. | 05:59 |
| nomasteryoda | adnaps, | 06:00 |
| adnaps | yup, hardy here to | 06:00 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: rock on then :) | 06:00 |
| anachronoks | Anyone had anything like that happen? | 06:00 |
| nomasteryoda | k | 06:00 |
| z0rz | Does mythbuntu-desktop modify grub in anyway? | 06:00 |
| Mathman | ubuntuROX: beats the heck out of me. and fedora was disappointing me today as far as that junk goes. although in fedora's defense that has worked quite well in the past | 06:00 |
| fde | mojo: webmin was actually dropped from Debian a while ago due to its insecurity... | 06:00 |
| Xulthus | fde why you don't use webmin? | 06:00 |
| adnaps | spent hours patching my driver to get it to compile :p | 06:00 |
| nomasteryoda | adnaps, it works well and you can have any script you want in the controls.. follow their directions | 06:00 |
| Fezzler | I'm not sure my Nvidia card is running correctly after upgrade to 8.04 | 06:00 |
| adnaps | ok | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, 32 bit or 64 bit? | 06:00 |
| mojo | fde:: with shorewall refusing external connects, shoudl that be a problem? i run this as a home server and router. | 06:00 |
| Mathman | ubuntuROX: but really, it's not that hard to throw firefox, flash, java, and whatever into your home directory | 06:00 |
| bobbie4 | Ubuntu Rules!!!! | 06:00 |
| nomasteryoda | good ... you know what to do then.. dave yates of lottalinuxlinks recommends it too.. | 06:00 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: 64bit (amd athlon 64 x2 3600+ | 06:00 |
| Hellsadvocate | I love Ubuntu. So far i've fixed every problem i've come across | 06:00 |
| anachronoks | Anyone else had Firefox crash and bring down the whole system in Hardy? I installed from scratch so it couldn't be just me. | 06:00 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: DOH!!!! My bad, that's the desktop! The server is i386/32bit | 06:00 |
| nomasteryoda | Hellsadvocate, sweet | 06:00 |
| Mathman | ubuntuROX: not that I'd advise going with that over something simple like apt-get install foo. but still... | 06:00 |
| roshane | mojo thats my specs | 06:00 |
| ubuntuROX | yea, I was thinking about trying 64bit again, but last time it was so hit or miss I decided to stick with 32 bit. | 06:00 |
| Hellsadvocate | Biggest problem: High pitched noise when i try to shut the lid while my macbook pro is on. | 06:00 |
| fde | mojo: Nothing should be trying to connect, so no... take a look at apt-proxy though if you have multiple machines running Ubuntu. | 06:00 |
| adnaps | thanks mate, i normally wouldnt have asked but it just wasnt making sense. i though it may have been a hardy issue | 06:00 |
| oddalot | albert hofmann is dead | 06:00 |
| Mathman | Hellsadvocate: so yeah, pay no attention to me then. fair enough | 06:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | is ubotu still sleeping? | 06:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | !test | 06:01 |
| ubottu | Failed. | 06:01 |
| Fezzler | Where do I check that I have the right monitor installed? Using 8,04 | 06:01 |
| Hellsadvocate | Mathman | 06:01 |
| wolferine | someone willing to give me two mins to mount my SATA HDs? | 06:01 |
| Hellsadvocate | hahah sorry man | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, OK, do you mind trying something that has a chance of making things worse? | 06:01 |
| AngryElf | After a clean install of 8.04 GRUB isn't recognizing the hard disk that I installed it to | 06:01 |
| AngryElf | somethign is saying "Error 21 - device doesn't exist", if I edit the line it's (hd2) | 06:01 |
| === CapaH__ is now known as CapaH | ||
| Mathman | Fezzler: say what? the right monitor? the right monitor is the one you like to look at. and the one that preferablly works with the linux distro you happen to be running | 06:01 |
| patifa | wolferine: Do you know what errors you are getting? | 06:01 |
| Xulthus | wow | 06:02 |
| Xulthus | I'm suprised. | 06:02 |
| mojo | fde:: i have thought about apt-proxy but the server is the only i386 and my desktop is amd64, so wouldn't that be a problem? I do intend to build a mythbox next (very soon) and was gonna use it for that (it's also i386, will use mythbuntu) | 06:02 |
| fde | Jordan_U: Go ahead and say it, and I'll be a buffer for whether it'll work or break things :) | 06:02 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: shoot | 06:02 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, then grub is pointing to the wrong partition ... or drive or both | 06:02 |
| nomasteryoda | i've seen that before | 06:02 |
| legend2440 | oddalot: sad he was only 102 | 06:02 |
| anachronoks | Is there a webpage with known issues for 8.04? | 06:02 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: reconfiguring it will be a PITA but it can be done if I have to | 06:02 |
| wolferine | patifa, no error, mount -a works fine... | 06:02 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, how many partitions do you have on that drive? | 06:02 |
| Fezzler | Math: But under 7.10 I could check that it installed correct monito Acer AL511 and not, let's say, Dell 990 | 06:02 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: spose you're asking how you can know your xorg.conf is right as far as your monitor goes? is that it? | 06:03 |
| fde | mojo: Yes, unfortunately... | 06:03 |
| AngryElf | nomasteryoda: default install/setup on that drive so, 5? | 06:03 |
| oddalot | yeah, i should live to like 200 if it helps with old age HEH | 06:03 |
| Fezzler | Math: Yes. | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, fde first, and this should be completely safe download http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.24-16-server_2.6.24-16.30_i386.deb and run "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/.deb" | 06:03 |
| mojo | fde:: thought as much. but kept in mind for as machines get added to the net | 06:03 |
| Fezzler | Math: I used to be able to check using System>Administration | 06:04 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, so you would have windows, linux root, home, swap and something extra | 06:04 |
| DATmafia | i fixed the screen resolution issues | 06:04 |
| fde | Jordan_U: Why would that break things? You're just doing what apt does automatically :) | 06:04 |
| DATmafia | in virtual box | 06:04 |

| Mathman | Fezzler: yeah, well. X config files are one of those black arts. meaning once you get that junk working, back up your xorg.conf when you go and reinstall. if you didn't do that, well... | 06:04 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | it WILL NOT let me delete /grub | 06:04 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: I guess try running an "X -configure" as root. if that even works anymore... | 06:04 |
| AngryElf | nomasteryoda: fresh clean install of just 8.04, no windows i dont know how many partitions that is | 06:04 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, you can edit the grub before it starts all the way.. .hit "Esc" | 06:04 |
| wolferine | patifa, /dev/sdb5 /media/500 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 06:04 |
| nomasteryoda | ok | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | fde, That's why I said "First, and this should be perfectly safe..." :) | 06:04 |
| anachronoks | Wow, 45,000 bugs for Ubuntu on Launchpad | 06:04 |
| adnaps | nomasteryoda : wicd deb package installed and no need for configuration ... got everything first go :) thanks champ | 06:04 |
| nomasteryoda | adnaps, enjoy mate | 06:05 |
| ChatterboX | hello all | 06:05 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: if i'm in an ssh session, isnt' ther a way to xfer a file thru it? | 06:05 |
| AnthroTechie | hey | 06:05 |
| Fezzler | Math: I don't follow. Everything after upgrade seems ok except Visual Effects and my beloved rotating desk cub | 06:05 |
| fde | Jordan_U: I think the issue is with his apt though... I do not know why it can't find the package itself... and it likely isn't just for this package... | 06:05 |
| phillipsjk | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org is the new way to configure X | 06:05 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: that and try and look up the specs on your monitor. the xorg.conf file isn't actually as nutty as I'm making it out to be. if you can find the refresh rates for the thing and plug those in to your xorg.conf file, then you're basically set as far as the monitor goes. | 06:05 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: if not i can wget it direct to that box | 06:05 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | phillipsjk: it works great to | 06:05 |
| anachronoks | Speaking of that, does anyone remember the Compiz effect that was essentially like Expose on the Mac? | 06:05 |
| z0rz | I just did an apt-get upgrade and now my machine won't boot. It stalls at the Ubuntu loading screen for a while and then instead of going into gdm it says BusyBox v1.1.3 and then (initramfs) _ | 06:06 |
| anachronoks | I wonder why that's not installed by default. | 06:06 |
| AngryElf | nomasteryoda: should it really be "hd2" for a scsi drive -- i tried changing it to sd2 but then i got an error parsing the line | 06:06 |
| Fezzler | Math: Where is xorg.conf located? | 06:06 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, hit the "e" key to edit a line in Grub menu.... say edit the root=(hd0,0) and | 06:06 |
| DATmafia | AnthroTechie did u go to system-preferences-appearance preferances- Visual effect tab | 06:06 |
| nomasteryoda | ah | 06:06 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: but heck, these days you're probably better off leaving that refresh stuff absent and letting X autoconfigure everything anyway. | 06:06 |
| Fezzler | MAth: etc? | 06:06 |
| fde | Jordan_U: His sources.list is pointed at hardy ... and he has aptitude update'd ... so there is no reason | 06:06 |
| z0rz | I think it has something to do with all-generic-ide flag not being in grub.. but I can't get it to boot with that either... | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, You don't need to, you already have the .deb on the machine, I was just being lazy in not wanting to remember where they are stored :) | 06:06 |
| patifa | david__--: In macromedia's zeal to prevent unlicensed use of their software, they've put in enough digital restrictions management to make it nearly impossible to legitimately run Dreamweaver in Linux | 06:06 |
| DATmafia | and select what type of effects u want o have enabled | 06:06 |
| Hellsadvocate | fezzeler: go to terminal, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:06 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, should be hd1 for second drive | 06:06 |
| Fezzler | Math: I'm cool with that. | 06:06 |
| anachronoks | I run Flash in Linux, it's not hard | 06:06 |
| z0rz | Anyone? | 06:06 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: /etc/X11/xorg.conf typically. but then I'm not a debian guy, so perhaps not | 06:06 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, as first drive would be hd0 | 06:06 |
| Hellsadvocate | Math's right. | 06:06 |
| nomasteryoda | z0rz, someone will help you... | 06:06 |
| patifa | z0rs do you know how to modify GRUB's bootup? | 06:07 |
| DrifterSX | mneptok | 06:07 |
| AngryElf | nomasteryoda: booting, thanx | 06:07 |
| DrifterSX | u in here? | 06:07 |
| david__-- | patifa:ok,so even if i have it already from my desktop its no use? | 06:07 |
| CloudFX | patifa: ill take u though it | 06:07 |
| david__-- | just delete? | 06:07 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, and you can then permanently edit it from inside ubuntu | 06:07 |
| patifa | CloudFX: talk to david__-- | 06:07 |
| z0rz | patifa: Yeah but I think I maybe be adding all-generic-ide to the wrong line | 06:07 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: and well, I couldn't tell you what X config app debian goes with either, but it sounds like that junk isn't working out anyhow, so there you go. | 06:07 |
| z0rz | Do I add it to root (hd0,0) or the kernel line? | 06:07 |
| patifa | not the root line | 06:07 |
| patifa | add it to the one with the long UUID string | 06:07 |
| z0rz | didn't htink so | 06:08 |
| patifa | which should be #2 | 06:08 |
| z0rz | I'm booting in recovery mode now | 06:08 |
| z0rz | I'll see where it get's hun | 06:08 |
| x1250 | someone has managed to make sound work on a Packard Bell EasyNote? | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | fde, It doesn't seem to be a problem with not being able to find a package but rather a file that should be provided in the kernel package is not found causing the configure script to fail, I was going to suggest trying to dpkg-deb -x the package then try configuring again | 06:08 |
| anachronoks | The biggest problem I'm having with Hardy is the instability. System goes down completely and you can't do anything. | 06:08 |
| z0rz | hung* | 06:08 |
| Mathman | z0rz: the root directive, and I'm assuming grub here, that just tells grub where the grub config junk and whatnot is stored. | 06:08 |
| patifa | but, z0rs try removing splash and quiet | 06:08 |
| AngryElf | nomasteryoda: that doesn't permanently edit it? | 06:08 |
| nomasteryoda | anachronoks, err... ok.. never had such here... | 06:08 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, nope... | 06:08 |
| patifa | I think the recovery had a 'quiet' in it, I can't rememeber | 06:08 |
| Mathman | x1250: ha, packard bell? what are you running? a 486? | 06:09 |
| z0rz | It looks like it's getting stuck at "Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 | 06:09 |
| z0rz | " | 06:09 |
| anachronoks | nomasteryoda: I did a fresh install from the CD and haven't added any apps except for xchat.. | 06:09 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, just open a terminal... and "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" ... and ad that change | 06:09 |
| AngryElf | thanx | 06:09 |
| patifa | Is your CDROM using SATA? | 06:09 |
| z0rz | Right after it said dev hda: unable to read RDB block 0 unable to read partition table | 06:09 |
| nomasteryoda | anachronoks, did you have any such issue with the live cd> | 06:09 |
| bjron | hmm, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' doesn't give me options to specify resolutions. Is there a new way that X gets the screen resolution? | 06:09 |
| nomasteryoda | ? | 06:09 |
| z0rz | patifa: no | 06:09 |
| patifa | Are you using SATA at all, z0rz? | 06:10 |
| AnthroTechie | DATmafia- yes I did | 06:10 |
| rgravener | my live stream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sleep-time | 06:10 |
| voidmage | I have wine set up in a virtual desktop to run games. When I run a full screen game, the "wine system tray" floats over the full screen window | 06:10 |
| Mathman | rgravener: thanks!!! | 06:10 |
| z0rz | Everything was working fine until I did an apt-get update and tried to install mythbuntu-desktop | 06:10 |
| Fezzler | What are all the other xorg.conf files I see? | 06:10 |
| arooni__ | i'm back; i'm connected to the interwebs on my laptop through wpa personal.... but my poor gutsy desktop can't connect >>> it prompted me for the password but then it just spinns around adoes nothing :( | 06:10 |
| arooni__ | ideas? | 06:10 |
| z0rz | patifa: Yeah I have 1 pata and 2 sata hard drives | 06:10 |
| x1250 | someone has managed to make sound work on a Packard Bell EasyNote? | 06:10 |
| anachronoks | nomasteryoda: No, it doesn't happen that often, maybe once a day. But it always seems to be when Firefox is open so I think that might have something to do with it | 06:10 |
| patifa | ahh | 06:10 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: well i have the package on the server now, so should i proceed with installing it? | 06:10 |
| Fezzler | xorg.conf.1 .2 .3 etc. | 06:10 |
| patifa | z0rz what motherboard are you running therE? | 06:11 |
| patifa | *there | 06:11 |
| Mathman | z0rz: ha, yikes. and you're saying you can't boot after that? the mythubuntu junk would have nothing to do with that at any rate | 06:11 |
| nomasteryoda | anachronoks, i would recommend finding the firefox 2.0.0.x and installing it... if you want stable... firefox 3 b5 has issues ... on ubuntu for sure... | 06:11 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, Yes, and if it fails ( it most likely will ) try | 06:11 |
| nomasteryoda | i've seen that too | 06:11 |
| nomasteryoda | not an Ubunut issue | 06:11 |
| anachronoks | nomasteryoda: okay, will try that, thanks | 06:11 |
| nomasteryoda | but should not have shipped that way ... imho | 06:12 |
| z0rz | patifa: It's an Asus A8N-VM CSM | 06:12 |
| patifa | oh yeah | 06:12 |
| patifa | that's mine | 06:12 |
| patifa | err, close | 06:12 |
| z0rz | nice | 06:12 |
| Mathman | nomasteryoda: ubuntu follows debian unstable, no? everything ships that way | 06:12 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel: took me a bit to double-check, and after doing "sudo fdisk -l", it looks like two[2] of my USB sticks are listed as sdd/sdd1 & sde/sde1 but there is NO listing as for SDB at 160 GB !! | 06:12 |
| Fezzler | is there a command line way to tell ubuntu to recheck and reinstall my graphics card and monitor ? | 06:12 |
| nomasteryoda | Mathman, not exactly.. but very close | 06:12 |
| z0rz | I think it's because grub is calling my pata drive by a UUID and something changed the uuid | 06:13 |
| AngieBTSea | having some problems making my sounds go where I want them to, does anyone know about Ubuntu sound stuff? | 06:13 |
| patifa | z0rz add pci=nomsi for now to the startup, and join the club at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/190492 | 06:13 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 190492 in linux "Kernel hangs on boot (SATA, AMD64/i386)" [Medium,Triaged] | 06:13 |
| nomasteryoda | Mathman, just reporting my findings... | 06:13 |
| patifa | I'm collecting the steady stream of this bug, there. | 06:13 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: sorta. like I said, a "X -configure" has been doing wonders for me lately | 06:13 |
| timandtom | On the off chance that I go completely insane and/or suffer brain damage, is there a way to get IE to work in 7.10? | 06:13 |
| Fezzler | I think a generic Nvida driver is installed and not using full features of my card | 06:13 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: interesting results. Look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8834/ | 06:13 |
| === n1ko is now known as n1k0 | ||
| Mathman | nomasteryoda: least we get, what? 3 years of updates this time around | 06:14 |
| patifa | z0rs: you can also try irqpoll, it seemed to boot on that for me but I had some stability issues, so I went back to pci=nomsi | 06:14 |
| === n1k0 is now known as n1k0_ | ||
| Deepthought | Fezzler: to get full features on nvidia you have to install restricted driver | 06:14 |
| Mathman | Fezzler: ha, well get X working first, then worry about the 3d junk | 06:14 |
| AngryElf | okay, I upgraded to 8.04 and my box got all hosey, slow, crappy, so I did a fresh install and it's still the same way - what's the deal? All I can really say is that it's choppy and slow on the command line | 06:14 |
| nomasteryoda | Mathman, yup... 3 and 5 on server... Ubuntu is the best new user Linux around... and i've been using since warty | 06:14 |
| Fezzler | Deep: there is an NVIDIA restricted drive installed. I'm not sure it is configured right | 06:15 |
| z0rz | patifa: I don't think that's my problem | 06:15 |
| timandtom | AngryElf: 8.04 has bird flu. | 06:15 |
| AngryElf | ? | 06:15 |
| nomasteryoda | AngryElf, some bug i've seen... heron flu | 06:15 |
| nomasteryoda | lol | 06:15 |
| nomasteryoda | joke | 06:15 |
| Mathman | nomasteryoda: eh, an old school guy might tell you mandriva. but ok. | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, What is the situation exactly? Is there something strange about how this is installed? | 06:15 |
| z0rz | Is there a way to rebuild the grub.conf without a boot cd? | 06:15 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: Why do you think it' s not right ? | 06:15 |
| AngryElf | different kernel maybe? | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, Actually, I need to leave for about 15 minutes, will you still be here? | 06:15 |
| patifa | why rebuild it, z0rz? | 06:16 |
| cesar_bo | Hi; i just upgrade to hardy, and has no sound on Flash (youtube specifically), anyone has the same issue? | 06:16 |
| nomasteryoda | Mathman, debian unstable.. or sidux is good... but i don't like the iceweasel so i go with ubuntu ... looking at yoper... looks very good too | 06:16 |
| patifa | just boot and modify the magic lines, when you update it again it'll add the pci=nomsi everywhere | 06:16 |
| timandtom | AngryElf: Might be, I don't know. But both me and my friend have issues with it, so I went back to 7.10. | 06:16 |
| z0rz | because it says my hard drives UUID doesn't exist | 06:16 |
| patifa | oh | 06:16 |
| anachronoks | cesar_bo: same problem here | 06:16 |
| Mathman | cesar_bo: you have sound in general though? | 06:16 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: if not i will be back shortly. I'll post some stats for you on config. | 06:16 |
| patifa | I dunno how to regenerate them :S | 06:16 |
| timandtom | On the off chance that I go completely insane and/or suffer brain damage, is there a way to get IE to work in 7.10? | 06:16 |
| AngryElf | timandtom: similar issues i just described? | 06:16 |
| cesar_bo | Mathman: yes, on everything less youtube | 06:16 |
| nomasteryoda | timandtom, sure... called ies4linux | 06:16 |
| Fezzler | Deep: It shows up in Sysinfo but doesn't show Ram installed and Display Settings button does nothing | 06:16 |
| Mathman | nomasteryoda: all depends on what you're after. I thought we were talking newbie distros though | 06:16 |
| z0rz | patifa: Yeah it takes a bit with a boot cd... I've done it several times about a year ago.. I was hoping to just boot without a cd | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, bye | 06:17 |
| nomasteryoda | Mathman, oh, yeah... slipped into geekmode | 06:17 |
| patifa | z0rz I ended up changing fstab to directly refer to my hard drives, in their order. (it'll break probably if I add another HD, but it boots) | 06:17 |
| amrik | Hi, so in Firefox 3b5 64-bit using flashplugin-nonfree sometimes flash embedded stuff shows up completely grey and does not work whereas sometimes it works. Is there a workaround? | 06:17 |
| AngieBTSea | Mathman, are you a sound expert? | 06:17 |
| timandtom | AngryElf: Wireless randomly stopped working(Until RIGHT before I went to format), and was overall just way worse performance. Plus I didn't like the default background as much :) | 06:17 |
| timandtom | nomasteryoda: Awesome, thanks! | 06:17 |
| Mathman | cesar_bo: beats me then. sound is crap on linux. all I know. but at any rate, least we've established that sound isn't screwed on the most basic level. | 06:17 |
| Fezzler | Deep: After upgrading to 8.04 my Visual Effects and Cube desktop stuff doesn't work | 06:17 |
| Mathman | AngieBTSea: not I | 06:18 |
| z0rz | patifa: That also may be what happend.. I added a new hard drive a few reboots ago... but it's been booting fine (until I did the upgrade) | 06:18 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: (don't forget to press tab after typing deep or dee to complete my nickname, else I don' t get a ring and hughlight and might miss your answer) | 06:18 |
| patifa | yeah, z0rs, I'm not sure what breaks it there. | 06:18 |
| legend2440 | timandtom: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page | 06:18 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: ok | 06:18 |
| cesar_bo | Mathman: ... could be the pulseaudio ? | 06:18 |
| paijo13 | hi all. is there any hardy iso that contain only the base system? | 06:18 |
| AngieBTSea | Okay Mathman, I will keep fishing :) sound is being disagreeable | 06:18 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: Learn something new! | 06:18 |
| nomasteryoda | cesar_bo, i've seen before with flash and firefox... there is a fix | 06:19 |
| timandtom | legend2440: Thanks! | 06:19 |
| Mathman | cesar_bo: I dunno. seems like f8 had pulse audio. flash worked on there for me. | 06:19 |
| Judeglass | is there a common reason why when editing in vi my arrow keys insert characters instead of moving the cursor? | 06:19 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: to get desktop things again install 'advanced desktop settings' (synaptic), and switch' mo on in there | 06:19 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: I did. | 06:19 |
| timandtom | Fezzler: :D Ubuntu has cube desktop stuffs? Whats it called? My brother saw a screenshot of vista doing it the other day, wants to try it. | 06:19 |
| anachronoks | the problem that i have is totem and firefox don't seem to want to share audio. it works in both separately, but not at the same time | 06:19 |
| Mathman | AngieBTSea: while I'm not expert, you'd at least stand a better chance if you explained a bit further than just "sound is being disagreeable" | 06:20 |
| yuiyui | how can i set different resolution for my dual monitors? im using ATI card and installed the ATI Catalyst Control center | 06:20 |
| anachronoks | i wonder if it's because of pulseaudio | 06:20 |
| AngieBTSea | Mathman, sound will come out USB for some applications | 06:20 |
| cappicard | hrmm... timidity's being a pain: "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" | 06:20 |
| AngieBTSea | USB headphones | 06:20 |
| Mathman | timandtom: and...no. it's called compiz fusion these days. and no, vista doesn't do it. | 06:20 |
| nomasteryoda | anachronoks, you should be able to make totem "use" oss or alsa | 06:20 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: the display settings don' t work with restricted, that's normal, use nvidia-settings, must be in settings menu (or the other sys menu, not sure) or in the terminal 'sudo nvidia-settings | 06:20 |
| AngieBTSea | but for other applications, it comes out the computer's built in speakers | 06:20 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: Seem like after I turn on Visual Effects "Extras" and then set Desktop Cube and Rotate and close, it knocks Visual Effects to off | 06:20 |
| nomasteryoda | which share sound well enough for me | 06:20 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: if it' s not there, install it too | 06:20 |
| yuiyui | but i can't set different resolution. | 06:20 |
| Mathman | AngieBTSea: ha, yeah, but hey, I gave it a shot. | 06:21 |
| AngieBTSea | and on 7.10 it was more agreeable | 06:21 |
| sessh1234 | k, one more quick question | 06:21 |
| anachronoks | nomasteryoda: okay, i'll try it, thanks x 2 :) | 06:21 |
| sitanxin | hi,it`s my first to be here | 06:21 |
| timandtom | Mathman: Well maybe not by default... But I've seen plenty of screenshots of Vista with a cube of desktops(Thats what we're talking about, right? Or did I get it confused with something else?) | 06:21 |
| NemesisD | my panel has disappeared, how do i create a new one? | 06:21 |
| GhotiPhud | sitanxin: welcome | 06:21 |
| Shadow_X | how do I change the resolution used when Ubuntu shows its splash screen during bootup? | 06:21 |
| fde | Fezzler: By "Advanced Desktop Settings" I think he means either gnome-compiz-manager or gconf-editor :) | 06:21 |
| sessh1234 | if i install a package and it installs dependancies, then i uninstall the package, how can i remove the dependancies that were installed? | 06:21 |
| corinth | Welcome, sistanxin. :) | 06:21 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: But some of the Advanced Desktop features work. Just not Cube stuff | 06:21 |
| timandtom | Mathman: Or maybe someone made they're XP look like Vista, i dunno :( | 06:21 |
| Mathman | timandtom: I'd guess the latter. but who knows. I used to run kde on windows at one poit | 06:21 |
| mike | Hello, I had a question | 06:21 |
| Mathman | point rather | 06:22 |
| fde | Fezzler: Or ccsm - it has a less neat GUI though... | 06:22 |
| sessh1234 | kinda like gentoo's emerge --depclean | 06:22 |
| corinth | * sitanxin | 06:22 |
| NemesisD | nm found it | 06:22 |
| wolferine | have a question or two, about setting up an ftpd, when setting up, do you 'have' to create a new user, and you limit that user, or can you do it, without making the user.. ? | 06:22 |
| CloudFX | NemesisD: if only one of the 2 default ones were closed you should be able to right click the remaining one and choose "new panel" | 06:22 |
| sitanxin | why not talk? | 06:22 |
| timandtom | Mathman: Ah, cool, well, thanks :D I'll be sure to tell my bro. | 06:22 |
| Mathman | timandtom: well, that and I can only guess here what you mean by "cube of desktops". but that certainly sounds like compiz fusion. | 06:22 |
| rgravener | no one wants to watch me live and chat? | 06:22 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: So do what? | 06:22 |
| timandtom | Mathman: Like, a cube, with a desktop on each face | 06:22 |
| milly1234 | why two panels? it takes up more room, never understood that | 06:22 |
| cesar_bo | this is a pain !!! why I can get the sound on youtube ... :( | 06:23 |
| jm1 | a | 06:23 |
| o0Chris0o | rgravener: only if your female | 06:23 |
| fde | Off topic things of a social nature go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:23 |
| cesar_bo | sorry, "I can not get" | 06:23 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: I wouldn't know then, but it doesn' t sound like stuff is wrong, just play around with settings and read the helps; not everything always works | 06:23 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: Bouncy widows and other frivalities work | 06:23 |
| Mathman | timandtom: wikipedia my friend. and youtube or some nonsense. type in compiz fusion or something and you'll probably find what you're after. | 06:23 |
| mike | If anyone could help me out I appreciate it; I am trying to get my wireless card to detect networks. It sais it is disabled when I find the hardware under lshd in terminal. | 06:23 |
| anachronoks | cesar_bo: try installing a different browser and see if it makes a difference | 06:23 |
| NemesisD | jesus, hardy really seems to do a number on my systems | 06:23 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: then the driver etc is really ok | 06:23 |
| anachronoks | i just installed epiphany to try it | 06:23 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: did you find the nvidia settings? | 06:23 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: HMMM But no Cube? | 06:23 |
| NemesisD | did hardy get rid of the restricted drvers manager or something? i can't find it | 06:23 |
| Mathman | ha. this channel is madness. kinda like gentoo back in the day | 06:24 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: No. WHere? | 06:24 |
| kindofabuzz | where can i talk to ubuntu developers? | 06:24 |
| AngieBTSea | My sound will not go where I want it to. Right now it comes through the headphones for some applications but for others it will only come out the built in speakers | 06:24 |
| sessh1234 | Mathman: do you know of an ubuntu equivalent for emerge --depclean? | 06:24 |
| fde | NemesisD: No, renamed it... it's now System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 06:24 |
| AngieBTSea | And I was wondering if someone had any ideas why? | 06:24 |
| NemesisD | ah just found it | 06:24 |
| fde | NemesisD: It is always 'jockey-gtk' though ;) | 06:24 |
| DATmafia | ubuntu is the perfect newbie distro | 06:24 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: System>Admin>Hardware Settings says Nvida is in use | 06:25 |
| DATmafia | some learning curves but a gui install on 8.04 is nice and clean with a lot of management features enabled :-) | 06:25 |
| fde | DATmafia: Ubuntu is the perfect distro... its underpinnings are Debian... they just made the defaults more refined, and added tools to make it easier for new users. | 06:25 |
| Mathman | sessh1234: not off the top of my head. but if I recall there's certainly something like that. apt-slog --euthanize--orphans or something. ha, nah, but orphans sounds about right anyway | 06:25 |
| kindofabuzz | sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge && sudo apt-get autoclean is a good cleaner, but you have to have deporphan installed | 06:25 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: like I said, it's ok; settings in system or settings menu | 06:25 |
| kindofabuzz | deborphan# | 06:26 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: aptitude replaced deborphan in every way deborphan was useful :) | 06:26 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: You lost me | 06:26 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: if it' s not there, install with synaptic | 06:26 |
| Mathman | AngieBTSea: I'd go with some forums and mailing lists at this point. get some sleep and all... | 06:26 |
| kindofabuzz | fde oh ok | 06:27 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: If what is not there? | 06:27 |
| Fezzler | Deep | 06:27 |
| kindofabuzz | http://strabes.wordpress.com/2006/10/16/clean-up-unnecessary-packages-on-ubuntu-dapper/ | 06:27 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: if nvidia-settings is not in menu | 06:27 |
| AngieBTSea | I might not be able to let it go Mathman | 06:27 |
| Mathman | DATmafia: seriously. ubuntu has a gui install these days? | 06:27 |
| AngryElf | so there's no solution to this slowish command line? | 06:27 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: If fact, exactly what that long command accomplishes is handled by default in aptitude... just aptitude upgrade , if something isn't in use, it'll remove it for you :) | 06:27 |
| Mathman | AngieBTSea: ha, fair enough | 06:27 |
| AngieBTSea | I will continue consulting google | 06:27 |
| AngieBTSea | :) | 06:27 |
| AngieBTSea | thanks for trying | 06:27 |
| Fezzler | Deepthought: I have Nvida, I have Visual Effects Extra, I have Advanced Desktop Settings. Just that Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube don't work after upgrade | 06:28 |
| kindofabuzz | fde: so basically use aptitude instead of apt-get? | 06:28 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | aptitude is easier | 06:28 |
| patifa | aptitude clean? | 06:28 |
| Mathman | kindofabuzz: use synaptic I say | 06:28 |
| z0rz | How can I list all disk from the live cd? | 06:28 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: yes, with one coveat... to search descriptions (default apt-cache search) you must use ~dfoo ~dbar ... | 06:28 |
| NemesisD | fde, do you know if hardy wold make abackup of xorg.conf before changing it? i used to have dual monitors set up to span and now theyre mirroring eachother | 06:28 |
| Mathman | isn't that the gui junk? | 06:28 |
| crdlb | Fezzler: what doesn't work about them? | 06:29 |
| z0rz | come on.. | 06:29 |
| z0rz | lsdisk? | 06:29 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: I meant nvidia-settings, to set resolution and stuff; cause you mentioned earlier that didn' t work with the display settings, wich is normal with restr. dr. | 06:29 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | Fezzler: - get the NEW Envy For Hardy or the leacy for Gutsy - should fix ur cube | 06:29 |
| kindofabuzz | so sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge && sudo apt-get autoclean is moot now? | 06:29 |
| fde | NemesisD: It should... hit /etc/X11/xorg.conf[tab key] | 06:29 |
| Mathman | z0rz: what? like rescue mode? dmesg would do the trick | 06:29 |
| Don_Miguel | wb Flannel | 06:29 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel: took me a bit to double-check, and after doing "sudo fdisk -l", it looks like two[2] of my USB sticks are listed as sdd/sdd1 & sde/sde1 but there is NO listing as for SDB at 160 GB !! | 06:29 |
| patifa | NemesisD: there may be older versions of them there, check it out | 06:29 |
| crdlb | N1N31NCHN41L6: that makes no sense whatsoever | 06:29 |
| NemesisD | yeesh now its forcing me to start in low graphics mode | 06:29 |
| x1250 | someone has managed to make sound work on a Packard Bell EasyNote (celeron with AC97 sound) ? | 06:30 |
| kindofabuzz | why do people use envy when all they have to do is check a box to enable there graphic drivers? | 06:30 |
| Mathman | NemesisD: back it up by hand, by all means. go with nvidia-settings or whatever. least that's the easy way to do it. shame I didn't learn that command up until recently. used to take me days to get my dual monitor junk set up | 06:30 |
| z0rz | Hmm I think my disk partition tables are corrupt... is there any way to recover them? | 06:30 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: actually, not really apt-get... but aptitude handles search/debfoster/deborphan/install/purge etc much easier. | 06:30 |
| Fezzler | crdlb: After I turn on Visual Effect Extra, theb go into Advanced Desktop and turn on Desktop cub and roate, close, it seems to knock Extra off | 06:30 |
| x1250 | kindofabuzz: because sometimes it doesn't work that way | 06:30 |
| kindofabuzz | ahh | 06:30 |
| milly1234 | I don't understand the use of envy, I heard it has something to do with nvidia or such, but I installed the nvidia drivers with synaptic, why would you need envy? | 06:30 |
| x1250 | I dont use envy, but sometimes you have to go and edit xorg.conf manually | 06:31 |
| x1250 | lots of people like that in #ubuntu-es | 06:31 |
| kindofabuzz | milly1234: linux = 100 ways to do the same thing | 06:31 |
| crdlb | Fezzler: does compiz work at all? | 06:31 |
| Deepthought | Fezzler: to get cube I don' t know, should work, but there are some settings in advanced desk. set. that conflict others; just try back to default no effects, the start with the cube, and other settings one by one; should go. If you set a setting sometimes it sez it conflicts with others and asks if you want the other off; maybe you missed one of those and left something on that stops the cube | 06:31 |
| kindofabuzz | my compiz works | 06:31 |
| NemesisD | BOOYAH | 06:31 |
| NemesisD | ok i think ive found the magic bullet for hardy borking a display | 06:31 |
| milly1234 | my cube has a fishtank in it :P | 06:31 |
| Mathman | kindofabuzz: I certainly wouldn't put it that way. but sure, for the most popular type of applications there's more than one out there. | 06:32 |
| NemesisD | its worked on 2 computers today for me, just had to apt-get --reinstall the video driver | 06:32 |
| kindofabuzz | hehe | 06:32 |
| fde | Mathman: 24,000 packages, there is 100 ways to do everything ;) | 06:32 |
| kindofabuzz | what is the ubuntu developers room called? | 06:32 |
| Mathman | kindofabuzz: or if you're a masochist I suppose you could edit a file using just bash and cat or something | 06:32 |
| Fezzler | crdlb: Yes | 06:32 |
| NemesisD | *spoke too soon*, my left display is now tweaking out with psychadelic colors | 06:32 |
| cesar_bo | hey, about the no sound on youtube, using epiphany I am gettings this warnings, on playing a clip: "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" | 06:32 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: What do you need devels for? They are busy people don't ya know ;) | 06:32 |
| blackpearl | !swapon | 06:32 |
| ubottu | Factoid swapon not found | 06:32 |
| blackpearl | !swap | 06:33 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 06:33 |
| milly1234 | yea, but if you can install nvidia drivers with synaptic or apt-get, why use apt-get or synaptic to install envy then use envy to install nvidia drivers? | 06:33 |
| fde | blackpearl: /msg the bot please | 06:33 |
| kindofabuzz | fde: wanna ask if something is a bug or intended | 06:33 |
| crdlb | Fezzler: uh so if you enable rotate cube, what happens if you press ctrl+alt+right? | 06:33 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: File it as a bug, and if it's not, they'll mark it NOTABUG | 06:33 |
| kindofabuzz | fde: and want instant notification lol | 06:33 |
| Mathman | eh. the unix philosophy is one good tool for one very specific job. something like that, I mean, I know I didn't do that justice.. but anyway, I think linux, and unix in general, has that down pretty well. | 06:33 |
| musikgoat | crdlb: should go to the right desktop | 06:33 |
| pen | anyone here using tilda? | 06:33 |
| kindofabuzz | fde: on launchpad? | 06:33 |
| pen | why is it slow again? after all the updates? | 06:34 |
| musikgoat | pen yes | 06:34 |
| karllen2 | hey i have a linux box setup to share my movies folder to the rest of the house....everything does work..the problem is its all wifi and it seems really choppy when i watch the movies over the network is there a better way to share these folders other than using smb or ethernet cables | 06:34 |
| crdlb | musikgoat: I know that :) | 06:34 |
| Fezzler | crdlb: My desktop slides to next one | 06:34 |
| punisher | sorry, go out | 06:34 |
| fde | kindofabuzz: Yes... or just Help > Report Problem... in the application if it's supported | 06:34 |
| blackpearl | fde, sorry | 06:34 |
| punisher | now I here | 06:34 |
| Mathman | sure some of those tools might be interchangable with multiple other tools. but not for the most part. you've got one X. one ls. one etc etc etc. | 06:34 |
| Fezzler | crdlb: I have four | 06:34 |
| pen | musikgoat: you have any solution | 06:34 |
| musikgoat | crdlb: why did you ask :-P | 06:34 |
| kindofabuzz | fde: oh ok | 06:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | karllen2: yeah, don't use wifi | 06:34 |
| musikgoat | pen, solution for what, it works for me | 06:34 |
| crdlb | musikgoat: I wanted to know what happens on _his_ system :) | 06:34 |
| fde | blackpearl: It's fine, this is rather a high volume channel though is all :) | 06:34 |
| albech | is acrobat reader available for download within the package manager? | 06:34 |
| karllen2 | Diasuke: i was afraid of that | 06:34 |
| karllen2 | lol | 06:34 |
| musikgoat | crdlb: lol sorry | 06:34 |
| Mathman | ha, actually there are two X servers out these days now that I think about it. two free ones. ha, ok, I give up | 06:34 |
| pen | musikgoat: it sometimes blank and I can't use transparency | 06:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | karllen2: sorry, but that's about all you can do - wifi is barely enough to handle standard definition video in most cases | 06:35 |
| crdlb | Fezzler: make sure that both Desktop Plane and Desktop Wall are disabled | 06:35 |
| musikgoat | pen: I had that issue for a while as well, I fixed the way I started it... one sec | 06:35 |
| pen | musikgoat: j | 06:35 |
| pen | k | 06:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | karllen2: this is why i ran 50ft of cable from my media box to the router... i tried wifi and nada | 06:35 |
| Deepthought | fezzler, that's the settings conflicting I was typing about | 06:35 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: can i run a cable to my mac | 06:36 |
| kindofabuzz | maybe use N? would that help with video? | 06:36 |
| RyanPrior | The latest update to GVFS is great! Thanks! | 06:36 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: but still use wifi for internet | 06:36 |
| legend2440 | cesar_bo: this might work it mentions installing libflashsupport. if you are using hardy it is already in synaptic so no need to download it. http://sendderek.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/how-to-fix-the-no-sound-issue-in-firefox-flash/ | 06:36 |
| N | ?????????? | 06:36 |
| patifa | albech: it's not open source. You can get a PDF reader, though. | 06:36 |
| NemesisD | anyone know if the restricted nvidia driver is 'nvidia' or 'nv'? | 06:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | karllen2: directly from one computer to another? you can, but you'd need a crossover cable | 06:36 |
| RyanPrior | libflashsupport can (and probably will) cause Firefox to crash occasionally or frequently. | 06:36 |
| musikgoat | pen, do you know how to make a script? | 06:36 |
| cesar_bo | legend2440: thanks, i wourl look at it | 06:36 |
| Booh- | How to launch mplayer from console but send display to my second display? | 06:36 |
| musikgoat | pen are you registered on freenode, so I can PM you? | 06:37 |
| pen | musikgoat: is that the only solution? | 06:37 |
| astro76 | NemesisD: nvidia | 06:37 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: id also hafta activate to devices as well | 06:37 |
| pen | musikgoat: i think so | 06:37 |
| knoppix | I have a really basic question. gparted lists sda1 and sda2 with sda5 as swap. what happened to sda3 and sda4? | 06:37 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido my wifi and the ethernet card | 06:37 |
| albech | patifa: i tried downloading the reader from adobe, but i get an error message.. maybe i need extra software to support rpm? | 06:37 |
| Booh- | In fact I would like to launch mplayer in full screen mode on my other display... (display is working now in xorg) | 06:37 |
| RyanPrior | knoppix: An angry penguin ate them. | 06:37 |
| deno | dose kmplayer work on ubuntu 8.04 ? | 06:37 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | my ubuntu WONT start in normal get like a inch of desktop and then all black - have to use gnome failsafe - any ideas | 06:37 |
| fde | deno: yes | 06:37 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: how can u tell if its a crossover cable | 06:37 |
| knoppix | lol I hope not | 06:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | karllen2: you're already using a wireless router right? | 06:37 |
| deno | thank you | 06:37 |
| fde | knoppix: /nick ;) | 06:37 |
| patifa | oh | 06:37 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: yes | 06:38 |
| milly1234 | ibflashsupport causes massive instability in flash in firefox 3 for many causing it to crash alot for whoever that was who was told to install it | 06:38 |
| patifa | wait nm albech, start the package manager and find 'acroread' | 06:38 |
| astro76 | knoppix: look up primary vs extended partition | 06:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | karllen2: just run the linux box to the router with ethernet | 06:38 |
| albech | patifa: 2 sec trying | 06:38 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: will that improve speeds? | 06:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wait... nevermind, you're watching on the mac | 06:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it might | 06:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and it's certainly worth a shot | 06:38 |
| knoppix | ok, i'll do that astro | 06:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but just check pc stores and even big box stores - it'll say crossover patch cable (usually) | 06:39 |
| karllen2 | Daisuke_Ido: mmmm ill try that its so far away tho and i know nothing about cableing | 06:39 |
| andronicus | hello | 06:39 |
| legend2440 | cesar_bo: did you see what milly1234 wrote about libflashsupport causing instability in firefox 3? | 06:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you can tell because looking at one of the ends, it looks like a couple of the wires are crossed | 06:39 |
| cesar_bo | legend2440: thanks, I solve my problem:D | 06:39 |
| musikgoat | pen: are you getting my messages? | 06:39 |
| andronicus | is anyone here running dual monitors? | 06:39 |
| pen | musikgoat: yes | 06:39 |
| legend2440 | cesar_bo: ok good | 06:39 |
| albech | patifa: acroread not found | 06:39 |

| Don_Miguel | Hi again, it has been another 1/2 hour or so, and I am repeating, with an update: | 06:41 |
| Don_Miguel | Repeat #2: Problem: IDE (working) partitions not visible after Gutsy net-upgrade to Hardy on SATA Note: those IDEs still show in BIOS, but NOT in partition manager ! see update after "sudo fdisk -l" Paste: http://pastebin.com/m4175c259 | 06:41 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: ya betya | 06:41 |
| cesar_bo | legend2440: yes that solve my problem | 06:41 |
| damo22 | z0rz: you can recover it with testdisk | 06:41 |
| RyanPrior | z0rz: That is really nasty. | 06:41 |
| astro76 | knoppix: http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_admin/x1139.html | 06:41 |
| cappicard | hrmm... every video I play on youtube, google, yahoo, others freezes after two seconds | 06:41 |
| z0rz | testdisk? | 06:42 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: I am | 06:42 |
| legend2440 | cesar_bo: ok | 06:42 |
| RyanPrior | z0rz: man testdisk for more info | 06:42 |
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: first I heard of partitions showing up in the bios | 06:42 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: on nvidia; tried three, have not succeeded yet | 06:42 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: the IDE drives | 06:42 |
| andronicus | have you been able to get windows to open up on your second monitor by default? | 06:42 |
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: so not the partitions? you said partitions... | 06:43 |
| wolferine | !samba | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 06:43 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel suggested that they SHOULD be mapped as SATA | 06:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Don_Miguel: all drives are considered scsi now | 06:43 |
| damo22 | z0rz: if you havent rebooted, the current partition table should be still valid | 06:43 |
| damo22 | z0rz: sudo fdisk -l | 06:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and will all show up as sd* | 06:43 |
| z0rz | damo22: I figured out the tables were corrupted by rebooitng :( | 06:43 |
| DanaG | Argh, this page crashes Firefox repeatedly: http://ubnt.com/products/ | 06:43 |
| karllen2 | what is the best chat client for linux (aim and irc) | 06:43 |
| DanaG | And if you use nspluginwrapper, it just gives a big grey box. | 06:43 |
| DanaG | Don't you love sites that do that? | 06:44 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | ok i updated grub and when it loads it STILL doensnt see my puppy????? | 06:44 |
| fde | Daisuke_Ido: Not exactly, all hard drives use libata, which defines its devices as /dev/sd?? | 06:44 |
| damo22 | z0rz: boot off livecd and run testdisk on your hard drive | 06:44 |
| musikgoat | DanaG: doesn't seem to be for me | 06:44 |
| Don_Miguel | Only my USB pendrives are showing up, not the IDE | 06:44 |
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: guess I blew it on what you were saying actually. apologies | 06:44 |
| velizarov|laptop | hello. | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | fde: which means that, to the system, they're seen as scsi | 06:44 |
| musikgoat | DanaG: but i don't use nspluginwrapper | 06:44 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: none of us are NEAR perfect ! | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | emulated scsi* | 06:44 |
| z0rz | damo22: I'm trying that now | 06:44 |
| Deepthought | Don_Miguel: many stat drives get mapped as scsi; it' s some sort of hardware abstraction layer, they get accessed through a scsi protocol; like some cd' s | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but yeah, i see your point | 06:45 |
| fde | Daisuke_Ido: No... serial device | 06:45 |
| Deepthought | I meant sata | 06:45 |
| Deepthought | Don_Miguel: lik daisuk said, emulated, better word | 06:45 |
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: nah man, fdisk without any arguments but switches is going to just list whatever the first drive is I spose. if you're lucky it's even that nice. try fdicsk -l /dev/foo to see your other junk | 06:45 |
| fde | (libata was orginally intended for SATA) | 06:45 |
| andronicus | Deepthought: have you been able to get gnome to be able to remember the window position so that say firefox opens on a monitor other than the primary monitor? | 06:45 |
| nuSharper | hi there! which font is really used when i pick "sans-serif" from a font drop-down list? what's the name of that font? i know it isnt DejaVu. | 06:45 |
| mojo | fde:: I *THINK* that I fixed it... Notice that my /boot partition was not mounted, becuase disk-by-uuid was failing on it. Fixed my fstab to use /dev/hda1 instead. See my pastebin and tell me if you think I need to do anything more to be *sure*. Thanks! | 06:46 |

| z0rz | damo22: Testdisk isn't showing my hard drive in the list | 06:46 |
| warriorforgod | clear | 06:46 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: see update after "sudo fdisk -l" Paste: http://pastebin.com/m4175c259 | 06:46 |
| fde | mojo: That would explain it... I was going to ask you to check that the file exists, but thought as it's a server, you'd know that already :o | 06:46 |
| DanaG | Lovely. | 06:46 |
| fde | mojo: Apologies, could have had it fixed an hour or more ago... | 06:47 |

| Deepthought | andronicus: that sort of stuff is still buggy; there is a lot of difference in behaviour though using xinerama or not using xiner. ... Do you use nvidia ? or what else if not ? How' s yer double screen set up ? | 06:47 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: can you be a bit more specific ? | 06:47 |
| Flannel | nuSharper: Bitstream Vera Sans, probably. | 06:47 |
| mojo | fde:: well it *did* put files in /boot (the mountpoint), but there was no /boot/grub hierarchy. | 06:47 |
| andronicus | Deepthought: I am using nvidia twinview, no xinerama | 06:47 |
| mojo | fde:: i'm not stressing it. Better than reinstall and having the derned internet out all night (we are night owls) | 06:48 |
| AngryElf | when I try to activate my LVM with vgchange it tells me that ther'es no entry for device-mapper in /proc/misc -- that the device-mapper driver is missing, how do I install that? | 06:48 |
| kindofabuzz | derned? | 06:48 |
| mojo | fde:: this is my home server machine and router/gateway. | 06:48 |
| === sky_ is now known as white_skY | ||
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: guess I'm completely wrong here. fdisk -l, just plain, seems to list all the drives. what's the problem? sda seems to have a bunch of junk. what are you expecting to see | 06:48 |
| nuSharper | Flannel: i guessed that initially, but then, looking carefully, it doesnt look like Bitstream... i am more inclined to believe it is Liberation | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, I'm back, so how did you get in the situation you are in? | 06:48 |
| andronicus | Deepthought: could this be a limitation of metacity and should i be looking to use another windows manager? | 06:48 |
| 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? | 06:48 |
| fde | mojo: Same here... heh... and at least it is fixed, and you learned something yourself: apt it really good about telliing you exactly where to look, if you know what it's telling you :) | 06:48 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: Ok, try nvidia-settings, change to separate x-screens, xinerama on; the see how it goes, if not satisf. switch back to twinview, that leave xinerama on in twinview (wich is weird, but hey, it works), and see then | 06:49 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: using compiz might help | 06:49 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | ok i updated grub and when it loads it STILL doensnt see my puppy????? it JUST sees ubuntu - how do i get ubuntu to share grub | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | mojo, And, it seems, how did you get out of it :) | 06:49 |
| arooni__ | how can i get the mac address for my wireless card? ubuntu gutsy.. | 06:49 |
| fde | mojo: Either the file didn't exist, or the post-inst was defining it incorrectly... I overlooked the first, and didn't want to help with the second, cuz it can do damage :o | 06:49 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: methinks i fixed it... look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8840/ and notice that /boot is a separate partition, and it failed to mount by uuid. Mod fstab to use /dev/hda1 and it *seems* to have fixed it. How can I be certain? | 06:49 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: I am looking HARD for a disk(IDE) with 160GB on it, or at least the two partitions with like 33.7 GB | 06:50 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: I' ve also found that in some situations starting a prog from a starter on different screen makes a difference (ie put a firefox-icon on screen 2 and start it, might end up on screen 2 like you want it) | 06:50 |
| zcat[1] | N1N31NCHN41L6: check the /boot/grub/menu.lst in puppy and see how i was set up.. copy the entry over to ubuntu's grub | 06:50 |
| zcat[1] | assuming puppy uses grub | 06:50 |
| andronicus | Deepthought: thanks for advise, restart is req'd | 06:50 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: oneof those has over 20 GB of files I want very much to be able to access ! | 06:50 |
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: so your'e saying you have more than 3 disks attached? | 06:50 |
| RyanPrior | We don't support Puppy here. | 06:50 |
| DanaG | Yay, when flash isn't crashing, it's instead giving no audio. | 06:51 |
| DanaG | Thanks a pantsload, Adobe. | 06:51 |
| mojo | fde:: Jordan_U:: thanks for all the help. fde, you have a right to be lazy, it's not really your problem. thanks for the input. | 06:51 |
| fde | mojo: take a look around in /var/lib/dpkg/ (especially parts) for where I would have taken you... | 06:51 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | there is no menu.lst in puppy why i did a sudo grub-install /dev/sda5 | 06:51 |
| DanaG | At least with nspluginwrapper, it no longer takes the whole browser with it. | 06:51 |
| zcat[1] | RyanPrior: I'll support dual-booting with Vista as long as Ubuntu is somehow involved.. | 06:51 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: Still I find myself dragging progs from one screen to the other many a time; but well, it can't be more hassle than one screen, right ? isn' t two screens tha dopey big thingy surplus !?) | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | RyanPrior, But we'll help people dual boot :) | 06:51 |
| mojo | fde:: is that the .deb cache for apt? | 06:51 |
| RedScare | why in gods name does Hardy and did Gutsy run so hot and run my battery down so much | 06:51 |
| fde | mojo: uhh... info rather... but yes | 06:51 |
| Deepthought | andronicus: you don' t need reboot, just pressing ctrl-alt-backspace will do the job, will reset x-server | 06:52 |
| RyanPrior | zcat[1]: That's true. I'm having to get acquainted with Windows now, because I need to be able to help people with Wubi. | 06:52 |
| DGS | hello :) | 06:52 |
| Mathman | Don_Miguel: I dunno. pull the usb junk. reboot. or heck, pull everything but the system disk and the disk you're after. make sure the stuff is plugged in even. boot the junk up. run "dmesg". see what it tells you about your disks. | 06:52 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman: (1) IDE 160 GB and (1) SATA of 250 GB, two USBs are showing up at ~4GB and ~8GB | 06:52 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: originally got in this mess by doing upgrade via ssh and having it waiting on me to answer about a config file version confilct. i had fallen asleep and i guess ssh timed out. | 06:52 |
| warriorforgod | Don_Miguel: Is your nick a reference to Castaneda? | 06:52 |
| NeoGeo64 | Ubuntu really likes my quad core intel 6600 and its 4 gigs of ram | 06:52 |
| NeoGeo64 | its using every bit of it | 06:53 |
| fde | mojo: You can look at those files via cat safely, especially post and pre things, but don't change anything unless you're sure... | 06:53 |
| mojo | fde:: i am always glad for positive learning experiences | 06:53 |
| zcat[1] | I'm doing a vista/ubuntu dual boot on Friday.. my second time ever messing with vista.. I really HATE vista :( | 06:53 |
| RedScare | i bet it does, that amd64 bujild NEOGEO? | 06:53 |
| Don_Miguel | Mathman, thanks .. worth a shot .. did not have any clue this was gonna happen !! | 06:53 |
| mojo | fde:: okay, sounds interesting enough to peruse | 06:53 |
| NeoGeo64 | flash really takes alot of cpu time for some reason (poorly written) but with all this speed it doesnt make a difference | 06:53 |
| RedScare | I really like vista | 06:53 |
| zcat[1] | hope I don't screw it up | 06:53 |
| zcat[1] | RedScare: well, it's not bad in one way.. a lot of ppl hate vista so much thel'y even consider Linux in preference to it :) | 06:53 |
| RedScare | thats funny | 06:54 |
| fde | mojo: Might give you a good idea of how much work devs put in also :) | 06:54 |
| _kevin_ | has anyone been having trouble burning cds in hardy? | 06:54 |
| Mathman | zcat[1]: all I know, don't install xp second. ha, and don't take the thing home where you don't have a static ip if you're installing corporate edition | 06:54 |
| RedScare | and those people will find... exactly what they found with vista.... compatibility problems! | 06:54 |
| RyanPrior | RedScare: I find that people who didn't like Windows before Vista often do now, but people who liked Windows the way it was now don't like Vista. | 06:54 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: seemed like a good idea to put a headless box in the closet, replace the crappy d-link router (this box has a 4-port GigE HP switch-on-a-card), and eventually use it as a home server and centralized torrent dl, etc. | 06:54 |
| Don_Miguel | Flannel & Mathman, Thanks for your help .. I'll try a re-boot w/o the USBs and see what happens ... | 06:54 |
| _kevin_ | i had trouble burning them in gutsy but I heard the newer kernel may fix the problem | 06:54 |
| RedScare | evolution is a beautiful thing | 06:55 |
| mojo | Jordan_U:: it sucks when boxen go astray and they have no video card or kbd attached. | 06:55 |
| x1250 | I am the kind of people that didn't like windows before, and now doesn't like it either. | 06:55 |
| legend2440 | !ati | 06:55 |

| pen | is there a way to reset session options? | 06:55 |
| Deepthought | RyanPrior: so true... | 06:55 |
| AngryElf | does anyone know how to load up device mapper? | 06:55 |
| Don_Miguel | will need to wait a few minutes for bit-torrent to finish ... | 06:55 |
| mojo | fde:: actually i have a fair guess at the amt of work, but am sure i am waay off :P | 06:55 |
| RedScare | there's really nothing wrong with windows, or ubuntu, its just choice and preference | 06:55 |
| pen | now the sessions doesn't look for the checkbox in startup programs tab | 06:56 |
| DrifterSX | psp video support now worx with hardy yay!!! | 06:56 |
| Mathman | eh, me, I like windows just fine. if that's all I had. I'd live. I just like linux better, despite the steep learning curve | 06:56 |
| RedScare | what I do prefer it software the works with a with virtually infinite hardware | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | RedScare: yes and no.. Friday's client is already running OOo and Firefox and a few other OSS programs, there's very little she's using in Windows that isn't exactly the same in Linux. The biggest issue will be replacing Autocad with qcad.. which is why she wants dual-boot so she can still get to autocad if she needs it | 06:56 |
| pen | it starts programs saved in the "Remember Currently Running Applications" | 06:56 |
| RyanPrior | RedScare: you're implying that Windows and Vista are both perfect, it's just a matter of choice? Like who's better, Beethoven or Bach? | 06:56 |
| RedScare | and Microsoft did a great job there | 06:56 |
| kaf | 欧普洱茶你 | 06:56 |
| pen | how to reset that so it will look for the startup programs? | 06:56 |
| RedScare | I'm implying none are perfect | 06:56 |
| RyanPrior | RedScare: I meant Vista and Ubuntu, not Windows and Vista. +D | 06:56 |
| RedScare | they all have pro's and con's | 06:57 |
| RyanPrior | RedScare: when you say "nothing wrong", that doesn't sound like imperfection to me. | 06:57 |
| _kevin_ | i haven't tried in hardy yet. I was just wondering. I used to use k3b because of its varify option but will try brasero next time | 06:57 |
| === DGS is now known as RelookNA | ||
| kaf | open suse is more beautiful. | 06:57 |
| RedScare | I was generalizing, just like there's nothing wrong with liking sushi | 06:57 |
| RyanPrior | RedScare: There is something very wrong with Windows - it's non-Free software through and through. It keeps users, as rms says, divided and helpless. | 06:57 |
| raybr | hi guys, I just updated to ubuntu 8.04 a few days ago, and and i was able to access my C:\(from windows) via ubuntu, but not sure why, since yesterday i'm unable to access it anymore | 06:57 |
| Mathman | Booh-: definitely possible. google probably has an answer too. apparently me and you are about the only people that care. one of us is going to need to hit google. you can either wait for me to maybe get curious enough, or you could try and hit google yourself. | 06:57 |
| Mathman | Booh-: or keep asking here I spose... | 06:57 |
| zcat[1] | open suse is a dog. Ubuntu has spoiled me, I find just about every other Linux distro hard now | 06:58 |
| mojo | Mathman:: thing is once you start to get a handle on it, you find that Linux makes much more sense to you than windows does. Windows is all mysterious under the hood, and as you learn how things should/could be done you just hafta shake your head at some of the decisions MS has made with windows architecture | 06:58 |
| RedScare | And it powers corporate America as to provide the infrastructure to allow people like me to stay at home and program free to use ware | 06:58 |
| DrifterSX | sup zcat | 06:58 |
| fde | raybr: sudo mount -a bring it back by chance? | 06:58 |
| pen | anyone here familiar with session preference? | 06:58 |
| AgentHeX | is there a reason ubuntu-xen-desktop depends on xenman and xenman is not in synaptic? | 06:58 |
| Deepthought | RedScare: I agree, windoze was the first thing to make able to use a pc to it's full potential whan I was new to it (win 3 it was); coming from atari st pc seamed pretty meager; Billy made the thing WORK !; but now ubunt takes the tor ch and gets me where I always wanted to be with my super-duper ultra-rig | 06:58 |
| x1250 | RyanPrior: thats right. | 06:58 |
| raybr | will try it fde | 06:58 |
| fde | pen: ask your actual question please. | 06:58 |
| Mathman | Booh-: or...heck, if you mean something along the lines of export DISPLAY=machine:1.0. then yeah, that's how you do it. I guess I'm not really sure what you're after at this point | 06:58 |
| pen | fde: I already asked it. The question is how to reset the session? | 06:59 |
| Mathman | Booh-: if it's what I'm beginning to suspect though, then the short answer is to use ssh's X11 forwarding. | 06:59 |
| raybr | am not on ubuntu right now because of the file system accesss issue | 06:59 |
| RedScare | yes, I am quite fond of Ubuntu, but it's not for everybody, just like Windows is not for everyone | 06:59 |
| pen | fde: for example, I have tilda opened and I clicked "Remember Currently Running Applications" button | 06:59 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | mojo: think ur idea would work for me ........(02:48:29 PM) mojo: Jordan_U:: methinks i fixed it... look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8840/ and notice that /boot is a separate partition, and it failed to mount by uuid. Mod fstab to use /dev/hda1 and it *seems* to have fixed it. How can I be certain? | 06:59 |
| mojo | fde, Jordan_U - FOR THE RECORD: Though I think disk-by-uuid *can* be handy for removeable media, i HATE reading it all over my /fstab/ by default. | 06:59 |
| Mathman | mojo: well yeah, windows is a black box. as I said, I much prefer linux | 06:59 |
| pen | fde: now even after I unchcek tilda in startup programs it still start up tilda | 06:59 |
| Booh- | Mathman: no no. I have 2 independant screens and I want to start mplayer from my main screen to display to the second one. | 07:00 |
| fde | pen: System > Preferences > Session is all you'll need for that. | 07:00 |
| mojo | Mathman:: agreed | 07:00 |
| Booh- | Mathman: both screens are working at this time. | 07:00 |
| Mathman | Booh-: so yeah, I guess I was right the first time. refer to my googling it comment | 07:00 |
| Deepthought | mojo: exactly; My mother is very intelligent and technical; she doesn't understand the whole 'separate PC from user' aproach from win, gets confued all the time while it's all so easy; but a s you said under the hood and hidden | 07:00 |
| pen | fde: please, read my question | 07:00 |
| tonyr1988 | I've got my computer as a web server (sort of) via DynDNS. It works perfectly for computers that I try it on - even from other networks, but not from my cell phone's browser. Any ideas? | 07:00 |
| RedScare | If i could debug why the ACPI support in ubuntu is horrible on my notebook it would be my primary OS actually | 07:00 |
| Booh- | Mathman: but... I am in google since one hour! | 07:00 |
| corinth | Anyone know of a KDE 4 unstable repo for Kubuntu? | 07:00 |
| RyanPrior | RedScare: yeah, ACPI tends to be a total mess. | 07:01 |
| mojo | Deepthought:: a hidden *mess*, im-not-so-ho | 07:01 |
| Kickboy | I keep getting a seg fault when I launch network-admin. This is a recent occurrence (on Hardy). I've tried reinstalling the packages with no success. Kinda stuck at this point. Anybody else experience this? | 07:01 |
| erik____ | I have tried to install the latest version of Ubuntu 8.04 on my new computer, the motherboard is a Asus p5s mx se, which has the sis 191 network adapter. But i cant get the network to work. I dont have the ISA bridge problem reported by other people before | 07:01 |
| fde | pen: Scrolling up I don't see it... what I told you will allow you to remove tilde from the default session. | 07:01 |
| Mathman | Booh-: ha, now you got me in know it all mode. spose I'll find it in a few seconds... | 07:01 |
| RedScare | I give it a year, maybe two and mass usage will really kick in | 07:01 |
| lnxnwbe | what is the comand i type into terminal to edit grub? | 07:01 |
| mojo | Verbosity rules. | 07:01 |
| AgentHeX | does Xen work for anyone in Hardy? | 07:01 |
| magnetron | 2008, the year of Desktop Linux | 07:01 |
| pen | fde: do you mean the startup program tab? | 07:01 |
| pen | fde: that doesn't work | 07:01 |
| tonyr1988 | lnxnwbe: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 07:01 |
| mojo | I would have never figured my problem out if linux were not verbose where it counted | 07:01 |
| RedScare | but the socialist undertones of this type of software makes me want to change my major out of programming | 07:01 |
| tonyr1988 | lnxnwbe: Make sure you back up first. | 07:02 |
| RyanPrior | AgentHeX: Xen works well with Ubuntu. | 07:02 |
| pen | fde: because i have clicked the button in the session option tab | 07:02 |
| pen | fde: i want to reset that | 07:02 |
| lnxnwbe | tonyr1988: ty | 07:02 |
| tonyr1988 | lnxnwbe: There's also a GUI, called QGRUBEditor, if you want a graphical way of doing it. | 07:02 |
| RyanPrior | AgentHeX: I don't personally use it, but it's definitely supported by Canonical on the commercial level. | 07:02 |
| AgentHeX | RyanPrior: have you any experience with it in Hardy? | 07:02 |
| RedScare | but I do love compiz | 07:02 |
| RedScare | and virtualbox | 07:02 |
| fde | pen: remove tilde from that list... and remove it from the Current Session list. | 07:02 |
| AgentHeX | RyanPrior: i'm trying to install ubuntu-xen-desktop, but it depends on xenman, and that doesn't appear in synaptic. | 07:02 |
| Booh- | Mathman, It's ok! export display have done the job! | 07:02 |
| magnetron | RedScare: this is a support channel. | 07:02 |
| Booh- | good :) | 07:02 |
| pen | fde: I did, it stiill comes back | 07:03 |
| lnxnwbe | <tonyr1988>: no i just want to edit boot order | 07:03 |
| RyanPrior | AgentHeX: hmm, don't know about that. I'm a kvm user myself. | 07:03 |
| pen | fde: I have no idea why | 07:03 |
| Deepthought | mojo: yep, a grown convention stacked upon a grown conv ad infinitum making for a bunch of workarounds that need a sneak arounbd the corner aproach to make it work; instead of telling the rig what to do you have to think of what to say to make it belief the thing you want it to do (are you still theree.. ?) | 07:03 |
| magnetron | !offtopic | 07:03 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 07:03 |
| RedScare | well, no one knows anything about gnome-power manager so I often come visit and ask a couple of questions pertaining to why my vista battery life it 3x longer than my ubuntu's | 07:03 |
| mojo | Someone quoted earlier here that the Unix way is to have small programs do one thing, and one thing well, so they can be used together to do greater things. I'll also mention that failing loudly and verbosely is another great trait | 07:03 |
| musikgoat | pen the issue is a bug with tilda that the developer wont fix | 07:03 |
| Mathman | Booh-: ok. I was figuring you wanted something like window position options for when you start your app. which is definitely doable. but anyway, long as you're happy | 07:03 |
| fde | pen: ps -e | grep tilde <-- pkill -9 that, then save current session again | 07:03 |
| alienseer23 | got me a stubborn directory that is owned by "root:plugdev" that I cannot change the permissions of ownership on, and I need to, it won | 07:03 |
| Deepthought | magnetron: you'r e right, we' re drifying here... sorry... ! | 07:03 |
| pen | musikgoat: why not? | 07:03 |
| Deepthought | drifting | 07:03 |
| musikgoat | pen in the grey box, type exit | 07:04 |
| pen | fde: save? you mean in session option? | 07:04 |
| magnetron | Deepthought: feel free to drift in #ubuntu-offtopic , feel free to join | 07:04 |
| mojo | Deepthought:: one word would be enough: registry | 07:04 |
| fde | pen: Wherever you saved it before... I'm looking at the interface, and it's changed... so I'm not exactly sure. | 07:04 |
| pen | musikgoat: I'm not using tilda now | 07:04 |

| pen | fde: I see | 07:04 |
| verges | and installed flash player 9 right now | 07:04 |
| alienseer23 | what would make changing the permissions or ownership of a folder and its contents non-permitted even when using sudo? | 07:04 |
| fde | pen: It used to have a "Save" button right in there... but I guess they decided to take that option out... | 07:05 |
| verges | but when i start firefox it's still loading flash 7 | 07:05 |
| verges | how can i change this? | 07:05 |
| Mathman | alienseer23: chattr I spose? | 07:05 |

| Ainu | by* | 07:05 |
| Beavter | Im not exactly sure as to where to ask this question but I just wondered if anyone here has had the chance of toying with Ventrilo through Wine and actually got it to work | 07:05 |
| Booh- | Mathman, In fact, it's a test... I want to run 4 different mplayer on 4 differents screens... in full screen for a project of animation in a show room... | 07:05 |
| inukshux | I'd like to put my main panel on the bottom, while AWN on the top. How? | 07:05 |
| fde | pen: I have no idea... I'm sort of disappointed myself.... I usually just add and remove things from the session manually... | 07:05 |

| Booh- | Mathman, I was able to start 2... so I suppose now as long as I will be able to make 3 dual video card running in the computer... I will be able to do it :) | 07:06 |

| pen | musikgoat: I did the nickserv thing | 07:06 |
| NeoGeo64 | I Just hit the Windows key + M and the entire screen goes inverted. | 07:07 |
| Mathman | alienseer23: well, you can do a "chattr +i" to a file or directory (I think on the directory part, never tried it to be honest), and then it's basically stuck like it is until you do a "chattr -i" on it. but this is a wild guess mind you. lsattr would tell you if the immutable bit is set at any rate | 07:07 |

| clarity | ah, build-essential | 07:07 |

| mojo | Deepthought:: sure if n' ya like | 07:08 |
| musikgoat | meh, pen i'm on aim under the same name if thats easier | 07:08 |
| chris_420 | anybody know how to re add the task bar to a menu once removed? | 07:08 |
| Mathman | qasim: haha, sounds fun | 07:08 |
| pen | musikgoat: I don't have aim. | 07:08 |
| musikgoat | ok nvm | 07:08 |
| qasim | Mathman: yeah, I am really enjoying it :-p | 07:08 |
| zedster_ | $ sudo rmmod psmouse, $ sudo modprobe psmouse, if I run these commands my touch pad works for a sec | 07:09 |
| sirmike1970md | hi i just installed kubuntu and i cant get it to go 1024x768 | 07:09 |
| chris_420 | < running gutsy.... no problems with make what so ever | 07:09 |
| AgentHeX | !xen | 07:09 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 07:09 |
| pen | musikgoat: nevertheless, is chmod +x right? | 07:09 |
| musikgoat | pen yes | 07:09 |
| Mathman | qasim: and...this is why I always go with a fresh install. no matter what the debian folks tell me | 07:09 |
| fde | chris_420: right click panel > Add to Panel > Menu Bar in that list | 07:09 |
| musikgoat | pen a+x | 07:09 |
| pen | musikgoat: I have been researching on the script thing, so I have basics idea for sh fiels | 07:09 |
| pen | musikgoat: a+x?? | 07:09 |
| pen | musikgoat: what does that do? | 07:09 |
| musikgoat | pen +x should work | 07:09 |
| ushimitsudoki | (Hardy x86_64)FF 3 Beta 5 is bugged? The active tab randomly (?) loads the home page? Anyone seen this or perhaps it is something unique to my config? | 07:09 |
| pen | musikgoat: ok | 07:10 |
| musikgoat | pen a+x is all add execute | 07:10 |
| chris_420 | fde the menus are there the taskbar how ever isn't... you know... where the "tray icons" go | 07:10 |
| stdin | Ainu: because they are trying to be helpful opening a port when they see a certain string in IRC, and since the default IRC port is 6667 they only do it when the connection is on that port | 07:10 |
| qasim | Mathman: i have never done fresh installation since my shift to ubuntu from edgy days. this is the first time that i encounter this sort of error | 07:10 |
| Mathman | qasim: nah, I mean, from what I understand that apt-get upgrade world or whatever the heck should work darn good. not like a yum upgrade or whatever. but yeah, old habits die hard and I don't trust upgrades | 07:10 |
| chris_420 | not necesary just something that would be pretty nice to have haha | 07:10 |
| pen | musikgoat: ok | 07:10 |
| musikgoat | pen then for the Preferences -> Sessions make a new start item pointing to that script | 07:10 |
| pen | musikgoat: k | 07:10 |
| RedScare | haven't seen it ushimit, but I have seen a plethora of other problems out of it | 07:10 |
| pen | musikgoat: going to test | 07:11 |
| musikgoat | pen, you can test that script by (making sure tilda is closed) | 07:11 |
| fde | chris_420: It should be there under "System Tray" | 07:11 |
| pen | musikgoat: ? | 07:11 |
| qasim | Mathman: good for you, i am badly stuck at this "make" utility :( | 07:11 |
| chris_420 | aight will check again... thanks | 07:11 |
| musikgoat | pen and going to the dir and typing ./start_tilda.sh | 07:11 |
| pen | ok | 07:11 |
| ushimitsudoki | RedScare: this is making it darn near unusable! Didn't happen before I upgraded. | 07:11 |
| fde | chris_420: make that Notification Area ... sorry | 07:12 |
| chris_420 | ahhh ok | 07:12 |
| RedScare | ushumit, did you clean install or upgrade | 07:12 |
| Mathman | qasim: dot. almost sounds like it's not likeing something along the lines of ./command. but that cant be it. why would it say "dot"? I dunno, try reinstalling make? try with a real simple makefile? perhaps it's your makefile | 07:12 |
| ushimitsudoki | RedScare: upgrade, not clean install | 07:12 |
| chris_420 | would you by any chacne happen to know the applet for the networking that initially appears beside the "userr name? | 07:13 |
| pen | musikgoat: hm, tilda doesn't start | 07:13 |
| qasim | Mathman: i have reinstalled make again but to no avail. And the same makefile is executing perfectly fine on gutsy | 07:13 |
| RedScare | I did a clean install, since I haven't seen that particular issue it may have something to do with a leftover FF extension from FF2 | 07:13 |
| _kevin_ | a feature i'm missing in hardy is the ability to shift resolutions with ctrl+alt+-/+. I examined the xorg.conf file and found no "modes" line. If I create a modes line will the resolution keys work? | 07:13 |
| musikgoat | pen: ls -l in that directory | 07:13 |
| RedScare | have you tried a complete removal, and reinstall of FF3? | 07:13 |
| Tazbobu | Ok, sometimes Ubuntu really sucks... I understand why people give up and go to windows.. I have upgraded to a new distro 4 times since I started with Ubuntu, and every time it hoses a bunch of stuff... it seems ridiculous that a simple NVIDIA graphics driver gets messed up every time | 07:13 |
| musikgoat | pen and make sure you have the x bit set | 07:13 |
| pen | musikgoat: -rwxr-xr-x | 07:13 |
| pen | musikgoat: is it good? | 07:14 |
| chris_420 | oh snap got both back haha | 07:14 |
| fde | chris_420: that is nm-applet 'Network Monitor' I think is the same thing. | 07:14 |
| musikgoat | pen yes, if you are the owner | 07:14 |
| Mathman | qasim: hmm, that wouldn't mean it's not your makefile that's screwed up somehow I don't think. I mean, at least try something real simple. does make even work for that? | 07:14 |
| chris_420 | fde solve both my probs with the notification area haha | 07:14 |
| musikgoat | pen well thats fine anyways | 07:14 |
| zedster_ | anyone able to help me? | 07:14 |
| pen | musikgoat: maybe I should wait for it to start? | 07:14 |
| ushimitsudoki | RedScare: not yet. I wanted to see if there was anything out there about this (or possibly strange input issues) | 07:14 |
| fde | chris_420: Wait, it's not... heh... try 'nm-applet &' in a terminal | 07:14 |
| musikgoat | pen: 20 seconds goes pretty quickly... but yes | 07:14 |
| fde | chris_420: hah... that works... now to figure out why my nm-applet died :P | 07:15 |
| chris_420 | i have NM applet on one of my bars already and the "signal" chart is not working haha | 07:15 |
| grayKot | how to start some application in desk 2 while, i'm at desk 1 ? | 07:16 |
| pen | musikgoat: it works | 07:16 |
| Mathman | Tazbobu: ubuntu isn't the only distro on the block you know. but then again, yeah, it's not going to be perfect on every single setup. but then in ubuntu's defense, they can't ship nvidia junk out of the box I don't think, so yeah, figure it out. | 07:16 |
| Tazbobu | any simple way to fix my nvidia driver? it says it is there and running but I can't access any of the nvidia settings | 07:16 |
| chris_420 | fde sorry bout the death of your NM | 07:16 |
| musikgoat | pen: cool | 07:16 |
| fde | chris_420: It's ok, the command I told you to get it back does in fact work :) | 07:16 |
| pen | musikgoat: ok, now I'm goign to test it real | 07:16 |
| musikgoat | pen ok | 07:16 |
| fde | chris_420: No harm no foul :) | 07:17 |
| Tazbobu | Mathman: my point is, as long as Ubuntu has been around, you would think they could get it to install right on the first time with the most popular video cards in the world. | 07:17 |
| chris_420 | fde: lol true... | 07:17 |
| chris_420 | well now back to getting my appearance right lol all the issues so far are out of the way.... now time to make it look pretty haha | 07:17 |
| Mathman | Tazbobu: ubuntu hasn't been around very long | 07:17 |
| fde | chris_420: Take a look around www.gnome-look.org | 07:18 |
| Mathman | eh, computer years, I suppose it's been around a while, but still. | 07:18 |
| chris_420 | HAHAAAAAA FDE thats the one place i always look to | 07:18 |
| chris_420 | trying to find a light or white wallpaper as we speak lol | 07:18 |
| Mathman | Tazbobu: my answer? try mandriva | 07:18 |
| fde | Mathman: still only 4 years or so... | 07:18 |
| zedster_ | anyone why if I run modprobe psmouse, after stopping it, would my touchpad work for a few seconds and then stop? | 07:19 |
| iRRVi | i need...my bluetooth mouse...to work | 07:19 |
| Mathman | fde: ha, spose it might be that long at that. time flies | 07:19 |
| chris_420 | FDE i got inspired to go all white with my appearance... from a music video haha | 07:19 |
| RedScare | maybe someone knows how enable multiple desktop wallpapers on different workspaces in gnome? | 07:19 |
| AgentHeX | !virt-manager | 07:19 |
| ubottu | Factoid virt-manager not found | 07:19 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tazbobu: Which drivers are you trying to use? nv or nvidia? | 07:19 |
| fde | Mathman: first release was December '04... hence Warty is 4.10 | 07:19 |
| fde | November too | 07:20 |
| RedScare | because I run virtualbox XP on my second workspace seamlessly | 07:20 |
| RedScare | and would like a wallpaper to reflect this | 07:20 |
| iRRVi | 8.04...bluetooth mouse not working...followed the thing on the wiki sorta thing on the ubuntu site...to no avail >_< it shows as connected but it wont control the mouse | 07:20 |
| fde | Or October... I need coffee | 07:20 |
| Tazbobu | Mathman: I don't really want to switch, it is just a pain to have to redo my video, wine, network, moblock, etc | 07:20 |
| Mathman | fde: ha, 3 and a half almost then | 07:20 |
| fde | Mathman: Plus the time it spent as no-name.org getting up and running... | 07:20 |
| chris_420 | aight im outty.... laters peoples | 07:20 |
| Mathman | Tazbobu: suit yourself. I'm just pointing out there are other options you may not have explored | 07:20 |
| RedScare | interfacelift.com may have an acceptable background | 07:21 |
| Tazbobu | ushimitsudoki: I've tried both.. neither one shows me the proper resolutions.. I have tried selecting the monitor by detecting it, also tried plug and play, also tried selecting my actual monitor.. no configuration is showing the proper resolutions | 07:21 |
| musikgoat | pen: did it work? | 07:21 |
| x1250 | When is #ubuntu+1 coming back? | 07:21 |
| pen | musikgoat: yea. it works | 07:21 |
| pen | musikgoat: thx | 07:21 |
| RedScare | closer to october | 07:21 |
| musikgoat | yw | 07:21 |
| bleedingmoon | if i got an hard disk with serveral partitions i can install ubuntu on one of them and it wont damage the rest, right? | 07:21 |
| fde | x1250: It is likely there currently, but not active due to hardy and intrepid being exactly the same currently... | 07:22 |
| zedster_ | bleedingmoon: yes, unless one of them is visit in which case the mbr is a pain in the rear | 07:22 |
| zedster_ | bleedingmoon: you need like neo grub or something to do it | 07:22 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tazbobu: I use the drivers from nvidia, not from restricted. Have you been able to install those? | 07:22 |
| x1250 | they're not exactly the same anymore, intrepid is already broken :) | 07:22 |
| bleedingmoon | i cant fix it with the windows cd? | 07:22 |
| Tazbobu | bleedingmoon: and a health portion of luck or patience | 07:22 |
| fde | x1250: The devs generally relax until after the sprints or whatever... the developer meetings... | 07:23 |
| Mathman | zedster_: you sure about that. a plain old grub, least I thought it was a plain old grub, worked just fine with a vista dual boot setup for one of the jerks over here. | 07:23 |
| Finnish_ | What tool to use in Gimp, if I want borders of picture smoother? Sort of making them black against background? | 07:23 |
| Tazbobu | ushimitsudoki: from the actual nvidia site or just installed from synaptic? | 07:23 |
| Mathman | zedster_: you meant vista, right? | 07:23 |
| ebroder | Does anyone know anything about getting the mga video driver to work on Hardy? | 07:23 |
| Lapinux | can someone help me figure out what device my UPS is on? | 07:23 |
| iRRVi | in 8.04 my bluetooth mouse shows as connected but when i try to move the cursor with it, it doesnt work >_< | 07:23 |
| ebroder | I have a driver that worked with Gutsy and doesn't anymore | 07:23 |
| bleedingmoon | Tazbobu, i got 2 windows partitions, C & D, i wanna install ubuntu on D | 07:23 |
| Mathman | Lapinux: sounds like a job for "dmesg" | 07:23 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tazbobu: from the actual nvidia site. I didn't have any luck with nv or the ones the restricted manager tried to apply | 07:23 |
| astro76 | Lapinux: USB? | 07:24 |
| Lapinux | Mathman: ok, let me take a look and see if i can spot it | 07:24 |
| Lapinux | astro76: yes | 07:24 |
| Tazbobu | ushimitsudoki: thanks i'll try that | 07:24 |
| legolasw | Hi | 07:24 |
| bleedingmoon | it will damage my MBR? | 07:24 |
| bleedingmoon | and how i fix it | 07:24 |
| Lapinux | astro76: well maybe | 07:24 |
| grayKot | /msg ubottu etiquette | 07:24 |
| astro76 | Lapinux: right after you plug it in type dmesg, it should say | 07:24 |
| N1N31NCHN41L6 | ok using Super Grub i found a menu that shows both ubuntu(hd0,0) and puppy(hd0,4) what shall i do to get puppy grubbed up and not kill ubuntu | 07:24 |
| legolasw | Can I ask something unrelated to Ubuntu? | 07:24 |
| RedScare | Taz | 07:24 |
| Nervetatoo | I have problems getting sound to work in 8.04. Installed form scratch on an asus u2e which has a intel ICH8. There are no errors and all playback software seems to function normaly except there is no sound output ofc | 07:24 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tazbobu: hold on let me give a like with a guide. because it is a bit tricky...looking for the link now | 07:24 |
| musikgoat | bleedingmoon: which version of windows do you have? | 07:24 |
| bleedingmoon | xp | 07:24 |
| bleedingmoon | both | 07:25 |
| RedScare | yes, a guide would be agood | 07:25 |
| Lapinux | astro76: its a serial to usb | 07:25 |
| musikgoat | it'll be fine then | 07:25 |
| bleedingmoon | ok | 07:25 |
| bleedingmoon | :D | 07:25 |
| legolasw | I bought something from Amazon and I used my CC number for the payment. Does it reduce the order cost from my CC at once? | 07:25 |
| musikgoat | bleedingmoon: grub will install and give you the choice of which OS to boot | 07:25 |
| Lapinux | astro76: looks like a rj45 connector on one end | 07:25 |
| RedScare | you just need to install grub on the guided setup process honestly | 07:25 |
| bleedingmoon | grub? | 07:25 |
| iRRVi | logolasw: you can...might not be appreciated, or acted kindly upon...but theres nothing stopping you | 07:25 |
| musikgoat | bleedingmoon: the bootloader | 07:25 |
| bleedingmoon | ok | 07:25 |
| musikgoat | !grub | 07:25 |
| ubottu | 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 | 07:25 |
| RedScare | its part of the install package when you install ubuntu | 07:25 |
| astro76 | Lapinux: if it's APC they use proprietary cables but it's still USB | 07:25 |
| tushar | hi all | 07:26 |
| Lapinux | astro76: yes apc | 07:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | Tazbobu: Here is a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual It is helpful to make sure you disable the nv and restricted manager stuff, which always seems to want to override the nvidia drivers | 07:26 |
| Beefeater | Good morning fellas! Is there any log where I can see if a laptop lid has been closed? | 07:26 |
| Lapinux | astro76: should i see it specify apc in dmesg | 07:26 |
| Tazbobu | bleedingmoon: as long as your xp partitions are on just one physical drive and the MBR is on that drive grub will set it up all nice for you | 07:26 |
| iRRVi | in 8.04 my bluetooth mouse is not working...could be the mouse...but idk...any ideas? | 07:26 |
| tehk | Can anyone tell me how I would go about turning my capslock into an additional control key in the __console__, the old method using /etc/console-tools/remap doesnt work | 07:26 |
| astro76 | Lapinux: it will be the last few lines of the output, after you plug it in | 07:26 |
| bleedingmoon | ok | 07:26 |
| RedScare | After you've installed Ubuntu, it will automatically setup a boot option for XP then you can go in a modify any aesthetics you want inside ubuntu | 07:27 |
| legend | hello everyone | 07:27 |

| NemesisD | question, i think hardy installs .24 kernel, gutsy i had .22. i think i kept the old menu.lst and i suspect thats why i'm having problems, anyone have any ideas? | 07:28 |
| iRRVi | i really dont want to buy a usb mouse...my laptop has no PS/2 ports so i cant use any of my current ones...anyone can help me with my bluetooth problem, it would be much appreciated (the one i've asked like 5 times...) | 07:28 |
| Lapinux | astro76: in this apcupsd config i have it wants a /dev/tty | 07:28 |
| RedScare | what problems again? | 07:28 |
| surplusxmas | Can I ask Kubuntu install questions here, or are they limited to #kubuntu? | 07:28 |
| RedScare | you can choose to overwrite the menu.lst @ time of install | 07:28 |

| ubottu | iRRVi: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 07:29 |

| RedScare | Nemesis, your boot line needs to point to the new kernel | 07:31 |
| fde | anacaona_: If you did a fresh install, you'll have to reinstall apache etc... I hope you did backups | 07:31 |
| Lapinux | astro76: thanks, i will see if i can make anything of it | 07:31 |
| RedScare | very honestly, reinstalling grub alone maybe a good way to resolve the issue | 07:31 |

| ackbahr | I'm using an ATI card with Hardy, and I've got the choice between my widescreen being aknowledged (1280x768) but without graphical acceleration (when the proprietary driver is ENABLED), or graphical accel in 1024x768 (when the driver is DISABLED). Can somebody help get both? | 07:38 |

| DistroJockey | jingjing, April 2009 | 07:52 |
| nickthorley | fde: so you cant search for access points - you have to manually add them? | 07:52 |
| legolasw | Any comment?@ <magnetron> | 07:52 |
| harry_ | hogne: after kill -9, there is none | 07:52 |
| harry_ | unless it's a zombie: kill the parent | 07:52 |
| hogne | harry_: is it a bug in the hardy kernel? | 07:52 |
| fde | nickthorley: Yes, it's treated as a wired connection as far as the system is concerned. | 07:52 |
| harry_ | reaper will fix the rest | 07:52 |
| harry_ | hogne: don't know actually | 07:52 |
| harry_ | i have a few problems | 07:53 |
| hogne | harry: How do I see the process tree? | 07:53 |

| jumbers | I updated to Hardy and my sound stopped working. I went to the Dell Wiki and followed its information for restoring the sound, and it still won't work | 07:53 |
| hogne | harry_: eclipse runs on init | 07:53 |
| nickthorley | fde: ok i can compromise on that for the time being just to get my wireless working - i am hoping a fix for my card will be out soon as it is one of the main ones | 07:53 |
| harry_ | hogne: whats the status of eclipse? | 07:54 |
| jingjing | DistroJockey: thankyou! , on 8.04 desktop resolution very low (800*600) but 7.10 have have 1024*768 | 07:54 |

| hogne | harry_: How do I see it? | 07:54 |
| harry_ | ps aux | grep eclipse | 07:54 |
| lethalamby | RedScare, NemesisD offline | 07:54 |
| RedScare | is he | 07:54 |
| DistroJockey | jingjing, *nods* have seen many say that. Might be worth searching launchpad.net about that | 07:54 |
| NemesisD | no im not | 07:55 |
| legolasw | If I give you my user and pass, can you test it? @ megatron | 07:55 |
| RedScare | he should be back | 07:55 |

| nickthorley | whats the main site to log ubuntu bugs ? | 07:55 |
| NemesisD | RedScare, it works now, turned out i wrote the path wrong in menu.lst | 07:55 |
| astro76 | tuntun: running them from your installed system or livecd? | 07:55 |
| RedScare | NemesisD, you said the drive was a good | 07:55 |
| NemesisD | using the new kernel seems to fix everything | 07:55 |
| tuntun | astro76, installed | 07:55 |
| harry_ | so it's dead... give it a : kill -9 7117 | 07:55 |
| RedScare | yea, I was just about to say | 07:55 |
| astro76 | tuntun: wubi? | 07:55 |
| harry_ | and hope for the best | 07:55 |
| magnetron | legolasw: no. and it's magnetron, not megatron | 07:55 |
| lethalamby | My RAM usage shown in top and system monitor is totally different. Top says I am using up over a gig of ram while sys monitor says about 600MB. Any ideas why. It was like this yesterday also | 07:55 |
| tuntun | astro76, no | 07:55 |
| harry_ | it might be stuck in a non interruptible IO | 07:55 |
| nickthorley | nemesisd: wish it would fix my wireless card haha | 07:55 |
| harry_ | which is blocked for some reason | 07:55 |

| astro76 | tuntun: what do you have? what does sudo fdisk -l show? | 07:56 |

| hogne | harry_: I don't have asm skills =) | 07:56 |
| harry_ | and play around ... see what it's doing | 07:56 |
| hogne | harry_: sorry.. | 07:56 |

| hogne | harry_: then my only last resort is to reboot? | 07:56 |
| harry_ | then i'm affraid i can 't help you further | 07:56 |
| harry_ | just leave it :) | 07:57 |
| tuntun | astro76, 6 partitions | 07:57 |

| lethalamby | RedScare, tell me some other ubuntu channels . Need lots of answers | 07:57 |
| hogne | harry_: can't leave it, its splash screen is on my desktop | 07:57 |
| tuntun | astro76, over 2 discs | 07:57 |

| dfranke | Hi, I've just grudgingly switched from Debian stable to Hardy and I'd like to configure my sources.list to feed me nothing besides security updates. Is hardy-updates the best I can get, or is there something more stable available? | 07:58 |
| RedScare | lethallamby | 07:58 |
| RedScare | lethalamby | 07:58 |
| harry_ | hogne: don't know if it's a ubuntu problem or an eclipse problem | 07:58 |
| lethalamby | RedScare, ya | 07:58 |
| white_eagle | ok, guys I have problems in here | 07:59 |
| white_eagle | I have a half working hardy system | 07:59 |
| djdarkman | MrPockets: I have a friend who has trouble installing the broadcom wireless firmware trough the restricted drivers manager, and I would like to give him the command line commands instead | 07:59 |
| RedScare | AFAIK, they just have different ways to show used memory | 07:59 |
| Uplink | ubuntu wont load my broadcom drivers :( | 07:59 |
| astro76 | dfranke: you want hardy-security and hardy-updates | 07:59 |
| RedScare | To get similar values, take the 'used' from top, and subtract 'buffers' and 'cached' | 07:59 |
| dfranke | There are a bunch of commented out security.ubuntu.com entries, but if I uncomment them then apt-get update hangs. | 07:59 |
| billy12 | djdark: what ubuntu you have | 08:00 |
| diagon | I'm having problems with my laptop shutting down, I think due to overheating | 08:00 |
| white_eagle | look, I am logged in as root, because I cant do anything from my account because I can't sudo, and when i do sudo I get that the host (whiteeagle-laptop) is unknown | 08:00 |
| RedScare | SM only the apps | 08:00 |
| diagon | I'm sure there's an easy way to adjust the temp at which the fan should kick in, right? | 08:00 |
| white_eagle | please tell me how can I fix it from here | 08:00 |
| dfranke | astro76: I *think* I only want hardy-security, but as I just said it doesn't seem to work. | 08:00 |
| lethalamby | RedScare, | 08:00 |
| tuntun | dfranke, system > administration > synaptic > settings > repositories > updates ?... | 08:00 |
| lethalamby | My RAM usage shown in top and system monitor is totally different. Top says I am using up over a gig of ram while sys monitor says about 600MB. Any ideas why. It was like this yesterday also | 08:00 |
| white_eagle | hello? | 08:01 |
| dfranke | tuntun: this is server edition, I don't have a GUI yet. | 08:01 |
| RedScare | right, this is because TOP factors in everything, SM only factors APPs | 08:01 |
| RedScare | you are in fact using over a gig total | 08:01 |
| olskolirc | hey guys, I installed a tar.gz of xmms and now I see we have xmms2 in the Hardy Heron repository. How do I uninstall my xmms....tar.gz? | 08:01 |
| astro76 | dfranke: well there's no reason not to enable main, universe, multiverse or restricted, as they don't change | 08:01 |
| lethalamby | RedScare, You mean ubuntu is using more than a GB of RAM. Ubuntu ultimate | 08:01 |
| dfranke | astro76: right, I've got those. But I don't want non-security-related bugfixes. | 08:01 |
| astro76 | dfranke: so what happens with -updates disabled ? | 08:02 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, edit /etc/hosts and make sure you have both a 127.0.0.1 line and a 127.0.1.1 | 08:02 |
| RedScare | yes, I'm assuming you're running compiz-fusion | 08:02 |
| Uplink | ubuntu wont load my broadcom drivers :( | 08:02 |
| RedScare | broadcom hates me uplink | 08:02 |
| dfranke | astro76: exactly what you'd expect. But if I enable -security, things hang. I don't know whether the server is just down or what. | 08:02 |
| white_eagle | http://rafb.net/p/x7jW2z38.txt | 08:02 |
| white_eagle | see that | 08:02 |
| white_eagle | I have dependency problems | 08:02 |
| hogne | doesn't the fact that userland processes can enter an unkillable "D" state beat the purpose of protected memory? | 08:02 |
| white_eagle | the update was interrupted by some error | 08:03 |
| Uplink | RedScare, it detects em but failes to load them | 08:03 |
| hogne | could have just as well run AmigaOS! =) | 08:03 |
| white_eagle | i was upgrading to hardy | 08:03 |
| b0x | how can i find out wat version of ubuntu i have | 08:03 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: I don't have those 2 lines | 08:03 |
| b0x | like i had 7.10 but i dno if it upgraded propper | 08:03 |
| b0x | so i wanna check | 08:03 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: should I add them at the bottom? | 08:03 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, mine looks like: 127.0.0.1 localhost <linebreakhere> 127.0.1.1 myubuntu.home.gateway myubuntu | 08:04 |
| RedScare | b0x, the geek way or the GUI way? | 08:04 |
| b0x | any | 08:04 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, top is better | 08:04 |
| astro76 | b0x: lsb_release -a | 08:04 |
| harry_ | is there anyone here who knows what can be done about a broken keyboard indicator applet ? | 08:04 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: tell me exactly where should I add them, plesae | 08:04 |
| harry_ | is there anyone here who knows what can be done about a broken wpa2 wifi problem at boottime? | 08:04 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, at the very top of /etc/hosts | 08:04 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: here is pastebin http://rafb.net/p/zBNDZF93.txt | 08:04 |
| b0x | thanx | 08:04 |
| RedScare | yes harry! | 08:04 |
| RedScare | what a pain that was | 08:04 |
| harry_ | is there anyone here who knows what can be done about a broken mythtv vieuwing problem? | 08:04 |
| Uplink | lol | 08:05 |
| RedScare | but I had the same problem in gutsy | 08:05 |
| harry_ | RedScare: did you get it fixed? | 08:05 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: I don't want to mess up, please edit that file | 08:05 |
| RedScare | yes, after a clean install :) | 08:05 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, yep right at the top | 08:05 |
| harry_ | is there anyone here who knows what can be done about a broken remote problem? | 08:05 |
| RedScare | Harry, describe the specific WPA2 problem you're having | 08:05 |
| pawan | hi | 08:05 |
| pawan | how to repair grub | 08:06 |
| harry_ | RedScare: in gutsy, i had to remove 85-ifupdown from udev.d/rules.d | 08:06 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, here's mine as a guide: http://pastebin.com/f5e58e2f1 | 08:06 |
| harry_ | well... disable, then it worked at boottime | 08:06 |
| pawan | i installed vista and it removed my grub | 08:06 |

| pawan | but ubuntu is installed but cant select it | 08:06 |
| harry_ | if i click and edit networks, its there | 08:06 |
| 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? | 08:06 |
| RedScare | pawan, install EasyBCD inside vista too manage it | 08:07 |
| harry_ | but there's no way to tell it to connect to that config | 08:07 |
| RedScare | please continue harry | 08:07 |
| alienseer23 | i have 3 partitions mounted in "/media/" that belong to "root:plugdev" and have pretty restricctive permissions, but all of my media is on them, I cannot get to it, "sudo chown" and "sudo chmod" have no effect... how can I fix this? | 08:07 |
| RedScare | hm | 08:07 |
| dfranke | astro76: ah, now it's working. Guess the server was just down. | 08:07 |
| astro76 | HermanChess: lshw, lspci, lsusb | 08:07 |
| harry_ | so now, i removed the ifupdown rule again | 08:07 |
| pawan | where to get easybcd | 08:07 |
| harry_ | and manually do a /etc/init.d/network restart | 08:07 |
| RedScare | BCD Easy | 08:07 |
| harry_ | and it connects | 08:07 |
| RedScare | free download | 08:07 |

| DistroJockey | white_eagle, replacing with values appropriate | 08:08 |
| RedScare | http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 | 08:09 |
| white_eagle | ohhh | 08:09 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: oh | 08:09 |
| dfranke | alright, now to get X working with my three displays. I had a nice hand-written xorg.config on my old system that I forgot to back up :-( | 08:09 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, just make something up, should be fine | 08:09 |
| white_eagle | and If I don't have a host name | 08:09 |
| astro76 | ferronica: check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded, if that's good, burn at a slower speed | 08:09 |
| astro76 | !md5 | ferronica | 08:09 |
| ubottu | ferronica: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 08:09 |

| Twigman | Hi All... can't start hardy installer :-/ | 08:09 |
| harry_ | RedScare: ? | 08:10 |
| RedScare | can you check harry, under the GUI System>Admin>Hardware Drivers | 08:10 |
| harry_ | ah | 08:10 |
| ferronica | astro76: MD5SUM is okay | 08:10 |
| lethalamby | RedScare, I checked system monitor docs. It mentions clearly that it shows total memory usage. And its usage seems more realistic also. | 08:10 |
| Twigman | This is on a Dell Vostro - fairly common piece of hardware.. | 08:10 |
| diagon | Okay, so acpitool shows my laptop's thermal trip at 105 C | 08:10 |
| lethalamby | I am not running any application that will take 1 GB RAM | 08:10 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: so it looks like this http://pastebin.com/m4723c1b0 | 08:10 |
| Twigman | I'm being dumped into busybox.... | 08:10 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: is it ok? | 08:10 |
| RedScare | really lethal? I find that buffers and cached aren't typically included on mine | 08:11 |
| diagon | also I've found out that toshiba kernel stuff isn't loaded, and I tried some shot-in-the-dark "modprobe -l |grep toshiba" and then tried just adding it, didn't seem to work | 08:11 |
| harry_ | ah | 08:11 |
| harry_ | no , only my nvidia driver | 08:11 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: I would trust free -m | 08:11 |
| bobbie4 | I'm going to bed now, g'nite | 08:11 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, yep that looks fine. But I guess, technically localhost should be changed to whiteeagle | 08:11 |
| diagon | so all I need to know is how to lower the thermal trip that's shown in the /proc/acpi stuff | 08:11 |
| lethalamby | astro76, I just started my PC | 08:12 |
| Twigman | Anyone heard of problems getting the Hardy install cd to boot? I'm being dropped into a busybox shell.. | 08:12 |
| pawan | installed now | 08:12 |
| jmsp3 | Could anyone tell me what's wrong with mounting a windows ntfs partition automatically with /etc/fstab? | 08:12 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: is it ok? | 08:12 |
| white_eagle | oh | 08:12 |
| white_eagle | sorry | 08:12 |
| white_eagle | ;) | 08:12 |
| FloodBot1 | white_eagle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:12 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, np :) | 08:12 |
| RedScare | so non-proprietary really shouldn't be giving you that sort of problem harry | 08:12 |
| RedScare | hang on | 08:12 |
| lethalamby | 1963 MB of RAM usage | 08:12 |
| harry_ | that's my opinion aswell ;) | 08:12 |
| lethalamby | this is shown by free -m | 08:12 |
| legolasw | Anyone interested in testing VPN connection problems? | 08:12 |
| legolasw | Is there any way to see VPN connection debug messages or log file? | 08:13 |
| RedScare | is that wlan0 harry? | 08:13 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: and can I fix those dependency problems? | 08:13 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: how much is cached? | 08:13 |
| lethalamby | 1307 | 08:13 |
| harry_ | not that i changed an aweful lot, but i don't want to reinstall ;) | 08:13 |
| rpedro_ | anybody else getting slow file copying speeds between different physical hdd's? | 08:13 |
| harry_ | especially my mythbox | 08:13 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: http://pastebin.com/m2194be0e | 08:13 |
| rpedro_ | compared to gutsy | 08:14 |
| lethalamby | and swap not used. Still almost 2 gigs of RAm used when running nothing significant :( | 08:14 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, possibly, that hosts issue may have been the cause. Give it onther try | 08:14 |
| knoppix | I had been here earlier asking about why ubuntu sets up partitions as sda1 sda2 and sda5. I gatered that it creates two primary partitions with an extended partition sda5 for swap that really occupies all of sda3. is that correct? | 08:14 |
| lethalamby | astro76, swap usage shown 0 | 08:14 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: yes! | 08:14 |
| knoppix | sorry sda2 not 3 | 08:14 |
| RedScare | oh hell | 08:15 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: first off, system monitor only shows your user processes if not run as root | 08:15 |
| pawan | now | 08:15 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: lets hope so | 08:15 |
| Twigman | Anyone heard of problems getting the Hardy install cd to boot? I'm being dropped into a busybox shell.. I get a lot of messages from ata2.00 saying status: { DRDY } (and other messages) | 08:16 |
| pawan | i am in vista my grub is lost | 08:16 |
| lethalamby | astro76, Now the problem is I want to know why is so much RAM being used. I have run linux on 256 MB RAm also. If I have 2Gb it should not mean it occupies all :( | 08:16 |
| pawan | i have ubuntu installed | 08:16 |
| olskolirc | can I get the pastebin address please? | 08:16 |
| lethalamby | pawan: boot from CD | 08:16 |
| lethalamby | http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:17 |
| pawan | then | 08:17 |
| lethalamby | there is a section in ubuntu docs | 08:17 |
| olskolirc | thanks | 08:17 |
| lethalamby | read that and you'll be fine | 08:17 |
| Boredom_inc | Wow, since a couple of days after my 8.04 update, ubntu has been running really sluggish. I was making a bug report | 08:17 |
| pawan | ok | 08:17 |
| DistroJockey | Twigman, yes, I have seen that issue brought up a few times. Maybe try the Alternate CD if you just wish to install to HDD | 08:17 |
| Boredom_inc | Ubuntu* | 08:17 |
| Twigman | DistroJockey: thanks for the reply. Will the alternate be able to boot? | 08:18 |
| Daniel^ | just got a message about a new distribution upgrade, is that a good idea? | 08:18 |
| harry_ | Daniel^: NO | 08:18 |
| Daniel^ | ok :) | 08:18 |
| Uplink | ubuntu wont load my broadcom drivers :( | 08:18 |
| Twigman | I just got an error: synchronous SCSI scan failed without making any progress, | 08:18 |
| ikonia | Uplink: expand on that please. | 08:18 |
| Uplink | sure | 08:18 |
| DistroJockey | Twigman, not entirely sure (might be worth checking launchpad.net for the issue) but it generally works better | 08:18 |
| Boredom_inc | When I was making the bug report I noticed Ubuntu is not recognising my swap partition. It says utilising 0 of 0 bytes. Is this the cause of my sluggish performance (I still have 50% RAM) or is it something else. Either way how do I make Ubuntu aware of my swap partition again. | 08:19 |
| Uplink | <i load the ubuntu live cd and my broadcom drivers fail to load on startup> | 08:19 |

| Twigman | ok sounds good... It actually looks like it doesn't like my cdrom drive.. | 08:19 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: it only uses swap when you need it | 08:19 |
| lethalamby | my ubuntu using up 2 GB of RAM | 08:19 |
| ikonia | Uplink: how do you know ? | 08:19 |
| knoppix | how does upgrading to 8.04 affect VMware if you already have that installed. I hear 8.04 has a new kernel | 08:19 |
| Twigman | Btw.. this is a new pc, so it may have some later hardware.. | 08:19 |
| === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca | ||
| ikonia | knoppix: depends on the compatability | 08:19 |

| dubby | hey anyone, i just went from gutsy kubuntu to hardy ubuntu and any ways kubuntu has this control panel thing to see what drives where connected to the system and then it mounted them for me, I was wondering if any such thing exists in Ubuntu? | 08:20 |
| DistroJockey | Twigman, possibly choosing something like legacy mode for sata/ide in bios may get the cd to boot | 08:20 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: your ram usage is normal, and Linux is very intelligent with memory which you should know by running low ram systems | 08:20 |
| jk_ | i am having a very annoying problem there seems to be glitches in my ubuntu, suddenly loose all sound from the system until i logoff or reboot, and when i open the wastebin nautlius jumps to 50% and becomes non-responsive any help? | 08:21 |
| ikonia | osiris: I can see a few issues, but I need to know where you got it | 08:21 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: worry about it when you start swapping | 08:21 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: It's from the System manager... "0 bytes (0.0%) of 0 bytes". | 08:21 |

| white_eagle | everyone, I am getting dependecy errors http://pastebin.com/m2194be0e\ | 08:22 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Do you have any ideas then as to what could be causing the performance issue. It was fine after I first rebooted 8.04 however it seems to have got steadily worse after each reboot. I'm still using the same nVidia drivers and nothing else (that I'm aware of) has changed since I updated from 7.10 to 8.04. | 08:22 |
| white_eagle | can you help me?? | 08:23 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: Linux doesn't waste the RAM you paid for, it keeps things in cache and frees when needed | 08:23 |
| white_eagle | I am logged in as root, because the primary account had problems with sudo | 08:23 |
| astro76 | lethalamby: please read that first link ubottu gave you to understand | 08:23 |

| ikonia | Boredom_inc:1 moment, I'm on the phone | 08:24 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Thanks | 08:24 |
| Boredom_inc | white_eagle: Possibly. If it does then you will know the problem is to do with that users settings. | 08:24 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, did fixing the hosts file not work? | 08:24 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: I haven't tried | 08:25 |

And again, no error messages, no freezing. Immediate restart of the xserver | 08:33 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: the interenet | 08:33 |
| xxxxxxx | ok i thought so | 08:33 |

| DistroJockey | Boredom_inc, I believe so | 08:34 |
| oddalot | Boredom_inc HAH AH nice nick | 08:34 |
| xxxxxxx | so minimal.iso would be a good starting point? | 08:34 |

| white_eagle | Boredom_inc: the original problem is, the upgrade to hardy was interrupted because some package wanted to overwrite some file which some other package had already installed (the upgrader was at 23%) so I had only the close button and the system demanded a restart from me, I rebooted and logged into recovery mode (as LjL told me to do) so he told me to do apt-get -f install and then dpkg --configure -a several bunch of times till it gets | 08:35 |
| ikonia | Uplink: thats not a model - I need the exact model | 08:35 |
| Squa7ch | how do I access the shared folders settings in Hardy Heron? | 08:36 |
| Uplink | ikonia, im on windows, how can i check | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | Twigman, ahh *nods* You're welcome | 08:36 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: its ok am at work now so cant try anything on laptop - had a play getting wireless working last night and no luck | 08:36 |
| white_eagle | I can see I have a half hardy system and a half gutsy system | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Uplink: click on the network card properties | 08:36 |
| xxxxxxx | when i installed heron I had to click on hardware drivers to find the ati driver for the amd 780g | 08:36 |
| robmillion | can someone please tell me why I cannot download Ubuntu 8.04 successfully | 08:36 |
| robmillion | pls pm me | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Uplink: use device manager | 08:36 |
| white_eagle | i don't know the exact command, but I had 2 kernels installed | 08:36 |
| ikonia | robmillion: what is the error | 08:36 |
| white_eagle | as I could se | 08:36 |
| Uplink | oh ok | 08:36 |
| xxxxxxx | is it possible to install the driver from the command line? | 08:36 |
| surplusxmas | I'm attempting to install Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE4 Remix) on a 3.00GHz Pentium D, 1GB RAM, 300GB SATA with the alternative install CD. When I reach the installation step called "Select and install software", it hangs for a while at 6% with the message "Please wait...", eventually goes through the steps, but reaches the end with an error that says the specific installation step ("Select and install software") failed. It then allows m | 08:36 |
| surplusxmas | (quicker this time). Is this a common problem? Any suggestions? | 08:36 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: will be aroudn later if you want to try again ;] | 08:36 |
| xxxxxxx | can i check to find out which driver i have installed? | 08:36 |
| Twigman | Btw.. there is a workaround, put sata into 'raid' mode instead of ide mode.. sounds dangerous... works though! | 08:36 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: use the desktop cd, and disable X11 | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, personally, I would back up your data and do a nice clean install | 08:36 |
| Twigman | I'll just make sure windows still boots first though ;) | 08:36 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: i cant tonight - possibly tomorrow night | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Twigman: what is "raid mode" | 08:37 |
| Twigman | See yas... | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Twigman: if you mean fakeraid, I strongly advise agaisnt it | 08:37 |
| x1250 | robmillion: how can we know? try another mirror | 08:37 |
| DistroJockey | Twigman, ahh, yeah, sorta what I was getting at with the legacy stuff | 08:37 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: i am wondering whether to try ndis wrapper instead | 08:37 |
| xxxxxxx | ikonia what about all the stuff in the desktop that I don't need? | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | xxxxxxx, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx ( if you have an ATI card ) | 08:37 |
| Twigman | ikonia: well.. it sounds like the drives should be joined.. | 08:37 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: well its not like we ever leave--see you then ;] | 08:37 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: what about it ? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: just disable it | 08:37 |
| Uplink | ikonia, it just tells me Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g WLAN | 08:37 |
| xxxxxxx | also is x11 the same as x or xorg? | 08:37 |
| Squa7ch | how do I access the shared folder settings in Ubuntu 8.04? In 7.10 it was I think System>Administration>Shared Folders, was it not? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: yes | 08:37 |
| Twigman | ikonia: unfortunately there's no disabled... | 08:37 |
| xxxxxxx | I think xbmc linux needs an x server | 08:37 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: use the desktop cd | 08:37 |

| kelvin911 | hello? | 08:38 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| Jordan_U | xxxxxxx, It does | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Twigman: where are you trying to set this | 08:38 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: no, thats not possible, I am capped I cant download the install cd from one side, and my cd-rom doesn't work from the other side | 08:38 |
| Twigman | This is in the bios of a dell vostro 200 | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Twigman: contact your bios vendor then | 08:38 |
| xxxxxxx | then if it does won't disabling x11 prevent me from installing xbmc? | 08:38 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: so I'm stuck | 08:38 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: don't disable X then | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, you can install without burning | 08:38 |
| Uplink | ikonia, in on details [service] and tells me BCM43XX | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | !install | white_eagle | 08:38 |

| xukun | is there a package I need to install for the keyboard to work well? I have microsoft wireless laser keyboard 5000 | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Uplink: ok, I'm looking | 08:38 |
| Twigman | ikonia: without that setting, linux doesn't see the cdrom drive... but I'll check for a bios update, this machine just arrived today from dell so I doubt there will be an update yet.. | 08:39 |
| nickthorley | bazhang: i found this that looks like it may be worth a try http://blog.gunbladeiv.com/ | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, checkout that last link | 08:39 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: USB install? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Twigman: contact your vendor - nothing can be done to fix your bios in linux | 08:39 |
| xxxxxxx | I thought i would use the minimal.iso and install the dependencies and x-server | 08:39 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: in that case I would need to buy a new usb stick | 08:39 |
| kelvin911 | i just install new ubuntu, and all the applet in awn are gone ? | 08:39 |
| robmillion | there is no particular error | 08:39 |
| white_eagle | oh | 08:39 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: from what your saying, your not going to find it easy due to your lack of experience | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | white_eagle, yeah, should be able to install from an iso on a usb drive | 08:39 |
| Twigman | *nod* understood..... there are reports of the machine working correctly with that RAID setting though.. | 08:39 |
| bazhang | nickthorley: will bookmark and check out in a bit; I have to head out now--hope to see you soon ;] | 08:39 |
| robmillion | the download finishes after 450 odd MB | 08:39 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: use the desktop cd (it's a 300 meg install-ish) | 08:39 |
| ere4si | !bot | 08:39 |
| ubottu | I am ubottu, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new, gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 08:39 |

| DistroJockey | heyya ere4si :) | 08:40 |
| white_eagle | DistroJockey: but that last link focuses on windows as the preinstalled system | 08:40 |
| xxxxxxx | ikonia how does the desktop install cd differ from the main cd or is it the same? | 08:40 |
| ere4si | hey! DistroJockey | 08:40 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: mount the iso | 08:40 |
| robmillion | can anyone help? | 08:40 |
| white_eagle | I am ****ing stuck | 08:40 |
| white_eagle | :( | 08:40 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: the desk is the iso | 08:40 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: there is no need for bad language | 08:40 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: you've been here enough to know that | 08:40 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: "I'm stuck" would have done | 08:41 |
| robmillion | Linux would be great - if you didn't need a degree in computer engineering to use it. | 08:41 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: I'm sorry | 08:41 |
| frandavid100 | hi guys | 08:41 |
| Twigman | Haha... windows will not boot with that setting, this is not looking good.. I'll just install under windows for the time being *sigh* | 08:41 |
| robmillion | can't even download the damn thing | 08:41 |
| x1250 | robmillion: you don't | 08:41 |
| x1250 | :P | 08:41 |
| ere4si | robmillion: are you short of hard disk space? | 08:41 |
| robmillion | nope | 08:41 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: I'm on the edge of my nerves | 08:41 |
| robmillion | all is fine | 08:41 |
| Uplink | ikonia, btw. im on HP Pavilion dv5000 series | 08:41 |
| x1250 | robmillion: did you try another mirror? | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Uplink: ok, that helps | 08:41 |
| robmillion | yes | 08:41 |
| robmillion | different mirrors | 08:41 |

| robmillion | ???? | 08:41 |
| robmillion | I'm on windows | 08:41 |
| kelvin911 | how come the fonts are so funny after update to hardy?? | 08:41 |
| FloodBot1 | robmillion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:41 |
| ikonia | robmillion: what happens when you download ? | 08:41 |
| kelvin911 | looks different? | 08:41 |
| x1250 | robmillion: you have problems downloading ubuntu from windows? | 08:42 |
| white_eagle | !minimal | 08:42 |
| ubottu | 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 | 08:42 |
| frandavid100 | quick question: how can I found out how to write the pound sign in a Spanish keyboard? | 08:42 |
| robmillion | the MD5 checksum is incorrect | 08:42 |
| robmillion | 3 times | 08:42 |
| napnaop | Hi all | 08:42 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: what good is the minimal cd to you ? | 08:42 |
| robmillion | different mirrors | 08:42 |

| ikonia | white_eagle: you don't need that | 08:42 |
| white_eagle | what do I need | 08:42 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: did you read the links that where given to you ? | 08:42 |
| xxxxxxx | whiteeagle how big is your usb drive? is it flash? | 08:43 |
| white_eagle | I have a 512MB usb stick | 08:43 |
| white_eagle | yes | 08:43 |
| robmillion | the download seems to go fine although it only gets 450Mb of a 695Mb file | 08:43 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Do you have any idea as to why 8.04 is running so badly? | 08:43 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: yes, I read the links | 08:43 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: whats running bad about it (can you give more detali) | 08:43 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: but that last link focuses on windows | 08:43 |
| DistroJockey | !install | white_eagle, try the first link | 08:43 |

| ikonia | white_eagle: thats a CD | 08:44 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: so why are you looking at the minimal cd ? | 08:44 |
| x1250 | robmillion: I downloaded from here just a moments ago, it works: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso | 08:44 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, I told to look at last link first (my bad) | 08:44 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: can't I boot the minimal cd from a flash drive? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: not at all | 08:44 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: "it's a CD" | 08:44 |

| ferronica | magnetron: 1X | 08:46 |
| jk_ | if i wanted to reinstall for whatever reason, can i save my settings and transfer it when the resintall was done? | 08:46 |
| ikonia | jk_: thats quite tricky | 08:46 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: RAM usage is 50% still ~300MiB available and I'm using the same nVidia drivers as 7.10. I have a backup of my xorg.conf from 7.10 and they are identical. I installed the RC 1 day before the official release. | 08:46 |
| bullgard5 | What does '=m' mean in /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic? | 08:46 |
| DistroJockey | Boredom_inc, I seem to recall some of my installs were slow for a little while (maybe it's indexing?) | 08:46 |

| 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? | 08:47 |
| Uplink | ikonia, what should i do? | 08:47 |
| magnetron | ferronica: 2x or 4x is as slow as you would ever need to go | 08:47 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: hey, what about making a new partition and installing ubuntu hardy on it, then from hardy wiping this partition? will that work? | 08:47 |
| bullgard5 | ikonia: at many places there, at least 10 different ones. | 08:47 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: it is possible, but you'll find it VERY long winded | 08:47 |

| Boredom_inc | ikonia: The strange thing is it ran fine the first time I booted into 8.04, maybe even marginally faster than 7.10, at least firefox was. But on each reboot things seem to be getting slower. I don't know if this is just coincidence, but something isn't right | 08:48 |

| axion | tau try defragmenting the drive under windows | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: try disabling it | 08:53 |
| magnetron | ferronica: you said it failed when you burned it at 1X | 08:53 |
| napnaop | x1250 really ? I think I've downloaded it ... | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: I appriciate it's idle, but it can cause issues | 08:53 |
| tau | axion: yes, I have tried with numeroes different programs, but none of them will move the MFT! | 08:53 |
| ferronica | magnetron: no at max it say | 08:53 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: what video card driver does x.org say your currently using | 08:54 |
| tau | axion: it's very frustrating | 08:54 |
| axion | well g\tau do you have a recent system ? | 08:54 |
| AfroRowan | hey people | 08:54 |
| axion | tau no older then 6 years ? | 08:54 |
| ferronica | magnetron:accept it | 08:54 |
| AfroRowan | i wanna expand my memory on hda3 (my ext3 partition) | 08:54 |
| tau | axion: it's not actually my system, I'm helping a friend - he is running XP SP2, with a single core pentium, I think it's like 2.6Ghz or something | 08:54 |
| AfroRowan | when i use gparted | 08:54 |
| tarelerulz | tau, maybe it is the files itself . I would download it again and see if that might help. I would do via torrent they make sure it don't get messed up | 08:55 |
| AfroRowan | i cant do anything | 08:55 |
| magnetron | <magnetron> ferronica: 2x or 4x is as slow as you would ever need to go <ferronica> magnetron: but i did 1X :( | 08:55 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, you will need to do it from a live CD | 08:55 |
| axion | ok tau get an external usb-drive and install it on there.. | 08:55 |
| AfroRowan | okay | 08:55 |
| lesshaste | how do I move from Xgl to normal X? | 08:55 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Closing the tracker seems to have sped things up a bit. Still not running as fast as it was when I first reboot. What does the tracker do anyway? | 08:55 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, can't change mounted partitions | 08:55 |
| ferronica | magnetron: mistyped sorry | 08:55 |
| AfroRowan | then i know enough but one last thing, shall i lose any files ? | 08:56 |
| axion | tau I ran ubuntu on a 4GB usb-stick for a whole month while on vacation | 08:56 |
| ferronica | magnetron: accept the file that i sent you | 08:56 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, shouldn't but a backup is very much advised | 08:56 |
| magnetron | ferronica: i did. it says you cancelled | 08:56 |
| AfroRowan | okay | 08:56 |
| AfroRowan | thx ! | 08:56 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, you're welcome | 08:56 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: By when I first reboot I mean when I first installed 8.04 | 08:56 |
| tau | axion: I will run those suggestions past him, but I think he wants to use his existing drive | 08:56 |
| AfroRowan | ;) | 08:56 |
| tau | axion: thanks anyway | 08:56 |
| axion | tau are there more hdd's in the system ? | 08:57 |
| ferronica | magnetron: again i sent you | 08:57 |
| tau | axion: nope, well there is an external, but it is full | 08:57 |
| magnetron | ferronica: i accepted it | 08:57 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: xorg.conf says Identifier"nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"... It's old but it ran in 7.10 and had no problem | 08:57 |
| magnetron | ferronica: use tinypic or similar | 08:58 |
| AfroRowan | hey im back | 08:58 |
| sajt | Hello! | 08:58 |
| axion | usb sticks have become dirt cheap and fast.. | 08:58 |
| ferronica | magnetron: ok | 08:58 |
| AfroRowan | my update-manager just came up | 08:58 |
| AfroRowan | and it says to upgrade to 8.04 lts... | 08:58 |
| AfroRowan | is it safe ? | 08:58 |
| sajt | My sound is not working after the upgrade to hardy | 08:58 |
| axion | when installing on a usb stick make sure the stick is in the first port of the usb-bus.. so it is detected as the first device | 08:58 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, that's debatable ;) | 08:58 |
| x1250 | AfroRowan: it can be, it can be not... | 08:59 |
| sajt | Where can I find information about it? | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | hehe | 08:59 |
| AfroRowan | whats debatable xD | 08:59 |
| ferronica | magnetron: http://i31.tinypic.com/2por71y.png | 08:59 |
| lesshaste | how do I move from Xgl to normal X? | 08:59 |
| tau | axion: okay, I don't know if he's interested in that (no money to spend) but I'll mention it | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, if it's working, may be better to leave it alone. | 08:59 |
| pepe_swash | hello. How do i make heron to recognize an ich9r raid array? | 08:59 |
| kelvin911 | which file is the repos list? | 08:59 |
| AfroRowan | ok, thx again ;) | 08:59 |
| olskolirc | that link won't install for me oomph | 09:00 |
| olskolirc | thanks anyway | 09:00 |
| magnetron | ferronica: so you are burning the disc at 4x ? | 09:00 |
| olskolirc | well im exhuasted | 09:00 |
| napnaop | x1250, then, I've downloaded java 5 and after ? | 09:00 |
| olskolirc | thank you all | 09:00 |
| DistroJockey | AfroRowan, np. Do a good backup and go from there I guess :) | 09:00 |
| olskolirc | gn :-) | 09:00 |
| AfroRowan | okay :) | 09:00 |
| ferronica | magnetron: i did 1X but it took it at 4x | 09:00 |
| AfroRowan | cu later maybe !:) | 09:00 |
| Flannel | kelvin911: /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:00 |
| DistroJockey | later | 09:00 |
| CRASH69 | I want to install 4 PCs, how can I do so I dont download 4 times the updates? | 09:00 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Any more ideas? | 09:01 |
| magnetron | ferronica: a lot of ppl had trouble using CD-RWs for the ubuntu CD. you should use a CD-R and a low speed as 2x or 4x | 09:01 |
| x1250 | AfroRowan: I would upgrade, but expecting some problems. I didn't have any tho, maybe my "only official repos" policy does work. | 09:01 |
| Flannel | CRASH69: apt-proxy is the easiest long-term solution | 09:01 |
| ferronica | magnetron: i tried CD-R at max i got error too | 09:01 |
| axion | tau try setting the virtual memory on drive c to 0, then try.. ( don't forget to set virtual memory back to auto or whatever was used beforehand | 09:01 |
| CRASH69 | thx Flannel, googling | 09:01 |
| kaoticsnow | quick questios whats the default password for myslq on a fresh Ubuntu Server install? | 09:01 |
| yayasan | join | 09:01 |
| bleedingmoon | when i wanna install ubuntu i get an IO error | 09:02 |
| bleedingmoon | :| | 09:02 |
| magnetron | ferronica: do you understand what i tell you? | 09:02 |
| x1250 | IO errors are evil | 09:02 |
| x1250 | check your disk | 09:02 |
| magnetron | ferronica: USE A CD-R ON A SLOW SPEED | 09:02 |
| ferronica | magnetron: burn CD-R at low speed | 09:02 |
| IntangibleLiquid | so, suppose I plug the projector cable to the laptop, what's next? | 09:02 |
| peterretief | ubuntu only installs for worthy causes | 09:02 |
| ferronica | magnetron: at 4X | 09:02 |
| tau | axion: ok, I'll mention that too, but I'm pretty sure he already did that - we've read a bunch of different things from different sites but nothing seems to help :( | 09:02 |
| bullgard5 | bleedingmoon: "when i wanna install ubuntu i get an IO error" is no exact description. | 09:03 |
| magnetron | ferronica: do NOT use CD-R on full speed. got it? | 09:03 |
| bleedingmoon | well | 09:03 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: you set it yourself | 09:03 |
| ferronica | magnetron: ok i will burn it at 4X | 09:03 |
| bleedingmoon | its in the first sector of my hd i think | 09:03 |
| axion | tau move data from usb-drive to internal drive and then isntall ubuntu on usb-drvie.. | 09:03 |
| bleedingmoon | as far as i remember | 09:03 |
| IntangibleLiquid | ferronica: magnetron is right, you don't want to destroy the cd at 52x | 09:03 |
| axion | drive | 09:03 |
| ferronica | magnetron: again if i got error then ? | 09:03 |
| Boredom_inc | Is 8.04 running slower than 7.10 for anyone else? | 09:03 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: how? I cant log in "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" | 09:03 |
| ikonia | ferronica: get an error first ! | 09:03 |
| ferronica | magnetron: ok | 09:04 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: did you not set a password when you installed mysql-server ? | 09:04 |
| pepe_swash | boredom_inc: nope faster | 09:04 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: I chose the LAMP option when installing the OS | 09:04 |
| tobe002 | hi | 09:04 |
| Boredom_inc | oh, mine was faster for the first day. But each time I reboot it gets slower. | 09:04 |
| ferronica | magnetron: are you here for 1 hour | 09:04 |
| tau | axion: not enough room to do that either, it seems he's just gonna have to back up and reformat, what a pain.. so much for installing ubuntu being easy | 09:04 |
| bullgard5 | Boredom_inc: Not for me. Rather the opposite. | 09:04 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: It never asked for onw | 09:04 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: what video card are you using and what driver does X11 say your curently using | 09:04 |
| pepe_swash | hello. How do i make heron to recognize an ich9r raid array? | 09:04 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: just use -p then | 09:04 |
| magnetron | ferronica: no. | 09:04 |
| axion | tau I think you just need to free up space on the ntfs sytem | 09:05 |
| ikonia | pepe_swash: fake raid has terrible support under linux | 09:05 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Identifier"nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]" is what the xorg.conf says. Which is correct but is there somewhere else I should check? | 09:05 |
| ferronica | magnetron: ok at 1X image burned successfully | 09:05 |
| tau | axion: yup | 09:05 |
| axion | if there is no free-space you cannot shrink ntfs filessytem | 09:05 |
| magnetron | ferronica: if you get any more problem, either ask a friend to burn the CD or order one from ShipIt. | 09:05 |
| axion | your problem is not mft rather free space on c | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: what does the line "Driver "seomthine" say under Video device | 09:05 |
| x1250 | bleedingmoon: you can run fsck on the disk from the live-cd | 09:05 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: still "Access denied" | 09:05 |
| billy12 | y did the upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 server remove ntp? | 09:05 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: show me the error line | 09:06 |
| tau | axion: there is about 15GB of free space, but there are unmovable files at the end of the drive prefenting gparted shrinking the partition | 09:06 |
| pepe_swash | ikonia: looks like, but i have to try and sak. Whatever comes out of it. | 09:06 |
| nocturn | How can I get the java-plugin to work on a 64-bit machine (Ubuntu Hardy) | 09:06 |
| bleedingmoon | x1250, what is fsck? | 09:06 |
| IntangibleLiquid | anyone familiar with Axioo laptops? are they good? | 09:06 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) | 09:06 |
| x1250 | bleedingmoon: $ man fsck | 09:06 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I'm using the official nVidia drivers I think. My xorg.conf is identical to what it was in 7.04. But I'll take a look | 09:06 |
| ikonia | pepe_swash: it's a terrible technoloyg | 09:06 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: your not using -p | 09:06 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: mysql -u root -p | 09:06 |
| bleedingmoon | well nvm | 09:06 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: show me the "Driver" line | 09:06 |
| axion | ..so free-up 6gb on the external drive by copying to the internal drive.. and install on the external drive.. | 09:06 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, if you are installing, you will need the Alternate CD | 09:06 |
| ferronica | magnetron: http://i31.tinypic.com/2q175us.png | 09:06 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: so then it asks for a password and I've tried the password I set up on the box but I still get access denied | 09:07 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: there is no password | 09:07 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Driver"nvidia" | 09:07 |
| magnetron | ferronica: good luck | 09:07 |
| ferronica | magnetron: now doing integrity check | 09:07 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, so if you do an "lsmod" do you see the nvidia driver loaded ? | 09:07 |
| tau | axion: I thought you couldn't boot to a partition on an external drive? | 09:07 |
| axion | of course you can, that was in the middle-ages | 09:08 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yes it is listed. | 09:08 |
| pepe_swash | distrojockey: hey. thanks again. i got an advice from you yesterday already and as you can imagine, that changed nothing. | 09:08 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: set the password with "mysqladmin | 09:08 |
| tau | axion: ok, that might work! I'll run it past him.. thanks | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: for arguments sake, do a glxgears -info just to see if glx is loaded | 09:08 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: When I boot I get the nVidia splash is displayed. Don't know whether that indicates it is working or not. | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: yeah, thats a pretty good clue | 09:08 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, ahh, sorry. Find it hard to remember sometimes (nothing personal) :) | 09:08 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yeah it displays the gears. | 09:09 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: just let me ponder | 09:09 |
| axion | tau make a 100mb partition on the internal drive and mount it as /boot just to be on the safe side | 09:09 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: No worries. Thanks for the help so far. | 09:09 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, but yeah, as ikonia said, better off making a software raid during the install | 09:09 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: can we do a little test pleas.e | 09:09 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Of course. | 09:10 |
| x1250 | bleedingmoon: something like $ sudo fsck -y /dev/hda1, where -y attempts to fix errors without asking | 09:10 |
| axion | other whise make sure ubunut install grub on (hd1) in stead of (hd0) | 09:10 |
| arooni__ | help! i have my time set to auto update based on time servers... and its set up for vancouver time zone.... but it still shows the time as 5:03PM even though its 1:05AM.... ideas? | 09:10 |
| tau | axion: the most he can shrink the volume is 7MB ! | 09:10 |
| ferronica | magnetron: http://i28.tinypic.com/5ea1iw.png | 09:10 |
| pepe_swash | distrojockey: of course. no problem. problem is that i have a windows install on that array, cannot trash it. in fact, i' need to dual boot on it. Looks like i'm doomed. | 09:10 |
| bleedingmoon | nah i just dont feel like messing around with it | 09:10 |
| smallfoot- | start.ubuntu.com uses a google that goes to .co.uk | 09:10 |
| smallfoot- | i dont like | 09:11 |
| axion | don't froget to set the bios to boot off of usb before trying of internal hdd | 09:11 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, ahh, that's not something I have tried (or wish too) ;) | 09:11 |
| DistroJockey | have not^ | 09:11 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: can you close all your applications except for irc and the desktop | 09:11 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: eg: nothing "running" other than the ssytem | 09:11 |
| tau | axion: ok | 09:11 |
| ferronica_ | http://i28.tinypic.com/5ea1iw.png | 09:12 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: (fyi, this is not conclusive, just to give me a little more info) | 09:12 |
| ferronica_ | magnetron: http://i28.tinypic.com/5ea1iw.png | 09:12 |
| axion | tau when ubuntu gives you the summary of what it's about to do ( just before installing ) you can change (hd0) to (hd1) in the grub settings.. | 09:12 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Do you want me to close unused processes. Or just shut the windows. | 09:12 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: nah, as though it has just booted up | 09:12 |
| pepe_swash | distrojockey: i have a slight masochist tendency , i guess. I always get in deepest troubles. Do you think dmraid could do the trick? | 09:12 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, only way I can think is to stick in another drive for Ubuntu and use Windows bootloader to boot it | 09:12 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: I'll have to look into this further, guess I really dont know waht I'm doing yet, time for more reading | 09:12 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: eg: booted up and logged into irc | 09:13 |
| ikonia | (roughly) | 09:13 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: man mysqladmin | 09:13 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, might, not really played with raid much. Been planning too. (need more time :() | 09:13 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: yep already reading | 09:13 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword' | 09:13 |
| dubby | !info openslp | 09:13 |
| smallfoot- | !info openslp | 09:14 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Did you actually want me to reboot to be sure? I closed everything (plus the tracker is still closed from earlier). | 09:14 |
| dubby | !help | 09:14 |
| ubottu | I am ubottu, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new, gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 09:14 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: nah thats fine | 09:14 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: this is just a rough test | 09:14 |
| hyde | hello | 09:14 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: Still giving me errors | 09:14 |
| dubby | !openslp | 09:14 |
| ubottu | Factoid openslp not found | 09:14 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: what is the error | 09:14 |
| hyde | my computer restart by it self | 09:14 |
| pepe_swash | Distrojockey: np. thanks for trying. :) rebooting to see what dmraid will tell me. :s | 09:14 |
| hyde | when i'm using ubuntu | 09:15 |
| hyde | what should i do | 09:15 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, best of luck | 09:15 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: root@ZappBrannigan:/var/www# mysqladmin -u root password testpass | 09:15 |

| Boredom_inc | ikonia: No worries, what's next? | 09:15 |
| pepe_swash | distrojockey: ty. see you. | 09:16 |
| DistroJockey | pepe_swash, np, later | 09:16 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: open an xterm | 09:16 |
| x1250 | kaoticsnow: thats -ptestpass | 09:16 |
| x1250 | IIRC | 09:16 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Done | 09:16 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: open "top" | 09:16 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: run top sorry | 09:16 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yeah I realised what you meant :P | 09:16 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: is mysql actually running | 09:16 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: does ps -ef | grep mysql show it running | 09:17 |
| axion | anybody know how to get a : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XP4m32 (rev 91) to work ? | 09:17 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: CPU total usage is about 19%... which is one of the reasons I was so confused. | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: leave it for a minute or two, you should see it settle down, and from what your saying have pretty low usage | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: give it a minute and confirm it's "ticking over" | 09:17 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: /usr/sbin/mysqld is running | 09:17 |
| x1250 | kaoticsnow: try mysqladmin -u root -ptestpass | 09:18 |
| x1250 | with now space between -p and the password | 09:18 |
| x1250 | no space I mean | 09:18 |
| kaoticsnow | with no space? | 09:18 |
| kaoticsnow | kk | 09:18 |
| dubby | hey anyone have any luck with fwbuilder? | 09:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | If I install a command line system, it should probably install the software needed to run my ethernet card right? | 09:18 |
| ikonia | dubby: many times | 09:18 |
| ikonia | ArthurArchnix: no | 09:18 |
| ikonia | ArthurArchnix: restricted driver manager would not run | 09:19 |
| dubby | ikonia : ok i wish to block port 85 from being able to be used by anything but local user.. | 09:19 |
| ikonia | ArthurArchnix: the restricted drivers are also only available int he desktop install | 09:19 |
| dubby | using eth0 | 09:19 |
| ikonia | dubby: andy ? | 09:19 |
| ikonia | and | 09:19 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, ArthurArchnix : what about server based installs, sure they install network drivers | 09:20 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: xorg is using about 5-10% ... IRC is using about 0.7-5% and screen saver process and top are using about 0.7% | 09:20 |
| * goto1 http://rapidshare.com/files/111454070/Nuke.rar.html <---- download Nukes ( Badwidth killers ) :) | 09:20 | |
| DistroJockey | surely^ | 09:20 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: not restricted drivers - no | 09:20 |
| dubby | ikonia: I try make any sort of firewall and it does not wish to install nor am i able to obtain the current firewall settings using builder, i can through using iptables commands | 09:20 |
| tau | axion: thanks for your help.. cya | 09:20 |
| cctv | Hi, I could use some help. Actually a lot of help... | 09:20 |
| ikonia | dubby: sounds like your using fwbuilder wrong | 09:20 |
| goto1 | http://rapidshare.com/files/111454070/Nuke.rar.html <---- download Nukes ( Badwidth killers ) :) | 09:20 |
| cctv | Need help setting up my disks in raid, and installing some software, anyone want to take a stab at it? | 09:20 |
| kaoticsnow | this is getting frusterating, it just spits out the documentation for mysqladmin | 09:21 |
| shadowxp | Is there a way to specify which site apt-get uses? | 09:21 |
| === cctv is now known as BadManiac | ||
| axion | no problem tau | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, that seems good, now I want you to open firefox, and you should see it appear in the list - look at a.) how quickly it spikes to 100% cpu, and look how long it stays there, also watch the other processes around it while thats going on | 09:21 |
| ikonia | ccvt is this a fakeraid setup ? | 09:21 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, that's fair enough (guess I don't use restricted network cards) | 09:21 |
| ikonia | shadowxp: yes the sources.list file /etc/apt | 09:21 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: server = not meant for home hardware | 09:22 |
| realityiswhere` | shadowxp, go into system, administration, software sources, then click the "download from", same thing ikonia just said but a GUI way. | 09:22 |
| BadManiac | My board supports raid0 in hardware, but linux doesn't seem to like it | 09:22 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: hence no nvidia drivers, boradcom onboard cards etc etc | 09:22 |
| shadowxp | okay | 09:22 |
| shadowxp | thanks | 09:22 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: thats fakeraid | 09:22 |
| BadManiac | the alt installer CD still detects to separate disks, and then errors out | 09:22 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: fakeraid has terrible support, and in my view is unstable and a waste | 09:22 |
| axion | I have been searching andlessly and neither cyblafb nor tridentfb (kernel framebuffer) nor the cyberblade/trident drivers (Xorg)work | 09:22 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, fair enough also :) | 09:22 |
| BadManiac | Well, here's the deal, I have 2 500GB sata disks | 09:22 |
| nathan5603 | Good evening | 09:22 |
| axion | I can only use vesafb/x-vesa | 09:22 |
| BadManiac | I want to use them as one single continous space, to store cctv camera captures | 09:23 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: use linux software raid | 09:23 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: but truth be told, I'd again advise strongly against and raid0 setups | 09:23 |
| nathan5603 | Has anyone had any luck getting Ubuntu to connect through rdesktop to windows? | 09:23 |
| BadManiac | Can I set that up after installing ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: According to top it only made it to 91% (probably too slow to update), its now oscillating between 10-50% | 09:23 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: you can | 09:23 |
| schitzo | hi | 09:23 |
| BadManiac | Yay, so, help! | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, interesting, thank you | 09:23 |
| kaoticsnow | =( | 09:23 |
| BadManiac | erk, wont let me priv. Spam in main it is then :p | 09:24 |
| nathan5603 | Good evening, has anyone had any luck running IE 6 in Wine? | 09:24 |

| nathan5603 | SitUbuntuSit thanks for the advice. | 09:25 |
| SitUbuntuSit | nathan5603, it works fine is relatively easy to get up and running :) | 09:25 |
| SitUbuntuSit | *and | 09:25 |
| BadManiac | will also need some help installing the software from sourceforge. But I'll do it in baby steps heh | 09:25 |
| axion | hello | 09:26 |
| hyde | how you use this thing | 09:26 |
| Jazman_brewer | hey on quick question how do i install programs from my hard drive | 09:26 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, just ask away | 09:26 |
| hyde | i just see many people joining | 09:26 |
| Jazman_brewer | that i have already downloaded | 09:26 |
| fde | BadManiac: see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek for assistance with that, the Packaging 101 courses specifically... very interesting, and easy to follow | 09:27 |
| hyde | who is away | 09:27 |
| DistroJockey | !ask | hyde | 09:27 |
| ubottu | hyde: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 09:27 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: thansk for the help but nothings working I'm just going to have someone reset the root password later | 09:27 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: check this post out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745131 this should get you stared, pay close attention to the bit that says "you cannot have /boot on a raid 0 or 5 partition" | 09:27 |
| fde | BadManiac: also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment for more indepth stuff, but the OpenWeek logs link to that. | 09:27 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: how are you going to have someone reset the root password ? | 09:27 |
| hyde | oh | 09:27 |
| hyde | thanks | 09:28 |
| DistroJockey | np | 09:28 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: that is the wrong thread - one moment, sorry | 09:28 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, they be .deb packages? | 09:28 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Stumped? | 09:28 |
| Jazman_brewer | tbz i think | 09:28 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: dont know yet | 09:28 |
| Kennie` | hi, do you suggest to update a box _remote_ from 6.06 to the least 8.04? or leave it on 6.06? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: just doing a little playing over here | 09:28 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Ok thanks | 09:29 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: what you've said points at video card issues, but - that doesn't appear the case | 09:29 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, extract the dirs and files and follow the readme | 09:29 |
| Jazman_brewer | sorry tarz | 09:29 |
| hyde | i install ubuntu a few days ago in my laptop but when i shut down my laptop it does not turn off | 09:29 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: would you be itnerested a in slightly more intrusive test ? | 09:29 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yeah no worries. | 09:29 |
| fde | Kennie`: You can wait a bit to get any late fixes and some security updates... still have a year on dapper I think | 09:29 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454116&highlight=raid | 09:29 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, all good tarz come with a readme :) | 09:29 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: that should give youa good guide | 09:29 |
| BadManiac | So, I can't boot from raided disks? Then how would you suggest setting this PC up? | 09:30 |
| Kennie` | fde : yes, but then it means i'm in the same situation next year? ;) | 09:30 |
| co_mo_CO | arjuna | 09:30 |
| BadManiac | thanks ikonia | 09:30 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: first, have you got some sort of insane high resolution | 09:30 |
| Jazman_brewer | i was hoping not to install that way im used to self install from windows first time linux user | 09:30 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: you create a seperate /boot partition that can either be a single disk, or mirrored | 09:30 |
| fde | Kennie`: No, because they'll fix most of the issues with upgrading by then, and it'll be mostly seamless :) | 09:30 |
| Jazman_brewer | sofar i look it up on add remove | 09:30 |
| shiesty | yo | 09:30 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Nah only 1024x768 | 09:30 |
| hyde | my ubuntu does not turn off it just freeze on the black screen UBUNTU | 09:30 |
| ikonia | BadManiac: but keep in mind ANY file system corruption on your raid0 array, and you'll be re-installing the whole OS | 09:30 |
| fde | Kennie`: Besides, I'm not really saying a year, just a few months or so... | 09:30 |
| Jazman_brewer | this os is a big diff to what im used to | 09:30 |
| Kennie` | fde : ok, that makes sense :) - thanks | 09:31 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, I want you to change the Driver "nvidia" line to Driver "vesa" in your xorg.conf and restart X please. | 09:31 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, you may need to change the scope of what is listed in Add/Remove | 09:31 |

| ikonia | BadManiac: read the post I sent you | 09:32 |
| Jazman_brewer | how do i chabge a scope | 09:32 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, Synaptic in the System - Administration area is better in most ways | 09:32 |
| BadManiac | on it :) | 09:32 |
| Jazman_brewer | i have fidled with | 09:32 |
| fde | edibrac1: Don't go any further back than that though, that one had a local root exploit possible | 09:32 |
| Jazman_brewer | i got wine going | 09:32 |
| Jazman_brewer | just have to get music prog going with it | 09:32 |
| fde | edibrac1: Uhh, that one fixed the root kit... | 09:32 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, in Add/Remove where it says Show: change it there | 09:32 |
| fde | Jazman_brewer: Why not use Ubuntu apps for music and movies? | 09:33 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Is there anyway to restart X without rebooting (does ctrl-alt-backspace do it?) | 09:33 |
| Jazman_brewer | i am at the mo | 09:33 |
| BadManiac | Yeah, Im gonna need some more in depth guidance, I dont even know how to get to the command line... Been using MS products including dos for 21 years, I#m a bit lost in this alien linux world. Sorry... | 09:33 |
| jk_ | if i use tar -cvf does that compress as well as archiving? | 09:33 |
| fde | Boredom_inc: It does, yes... or /etc/init.d/gdm restart ... which is cleaner (do it from ctrl+alt+f1 though) | 09:34 |
| Jazman_brewer | well i will work this tarz instal out | 09:34 |
| Jazman_brewer | got to get dinner back soon | 09:34 |

| DistroJockey | snap | 09:34 |
| hyde | my ubuntu does not shut down it just freezes does anyone know the cause | 09:34 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, my only "guess" is acpi issues | 09:35 |
| * fde thinks it's weird that ctrl+alt+f1 mutes sounds in X | 09:35 | |
| theveryend | ouch | 09:35 |
| hyde | so what should i do | 09:35 |
| student | hi | 09:35 |
| jk_ | !tar | 09:35 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 09:35 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, what laptop have you got? | 09:36 |
| fde | Boredom_inc: ctrl+alt+f7 will get you back to X btw whenever you go to a tty (what is on ctrl+alt+f1-6) | 09:36 |

| SitUbuntuSit | student, download the deb from frostwire.com | 09:36 |
| arooni | also it seems to spin endlessly in trying to connect | 09:36 |
| IntangibleLiquid | I sometimes get a problem with hibernation. After getting back to the system my eth0 no longer works. | 09:36 |
| edibrac1 | i say, dokuwiki or mediawiki is the way to go - twiki is too ugly | 09:36 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I restarted x | 09:37 |
| hyde | Distrojockey i have toshiba satellite m45-s331 | 09:37 |
| IntangibleLiquid | student: you need to first remove the open source jre version and install the version from sun | 09:37 |
| veliouras | i am interested in buying a usb wireless adaptor that can work directly with ubuntu | 09:37 |
| IntangibleLiquid | student: because Frostwire doesn't work with the opensource jre | 09:37 |
| veliouras | any suggestions? | 09:37 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, k, looking around a bit. Not really my area. | 09:37 |
| student | i already try to install the frostwire but it does not load on the desktop. what should i do? | 09:38 |
| hyde | oh | 09:38 |
| IntangibleLiquid | student: as I said, remove the open source version of jre and install the sun version | 09:38 |
| student | ahh... how to remove what is the command | 09:38 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I didn't get the nVidia splash but nvidia is still listed under lsmod... is that normal? | 09:39 |
| IntangibleLiquid | student: I prefer synaptic | 09:39 |
| hyde | Distrojockey i used to have xp home install in my computer I got many times the blue screen about the BIOS and ACPI i try to look for an update but nothing | 09:39 |
| student | can i find that in the system package manager? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: thats fine | 09:40 |
| SitUbuntuSit | do a search for java there and remove it. then you can install the sun java6 plugin and it will select the java jre and bin files you need | 09:40 |
| IntangibleLiquid | student: it's the synaptic package manager under Menu-System-Administration | 09:40 |
| dupin | student : synaptic is system package manager | 09:41 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: I figured out why mysqladmin isnto working, there is already a password set up and that command only allows you to set a new pass, I need to reset wahtever password is currenlty set on myslq | 09:41 |
| student | thanks | 09:41 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Things are probably just as slow (maybe a bit slower, not sure really)... glxgears doesn't wgh | 09:41 |
| veliouras | i am interested in buying a usb wireless adaptor that can work directly with ubuntu | 09:42 |
| dupin | student : in synaptic search box type java and you will see wich one is installed.Delete it | 09:42 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, not turning up much here. Do you know or can find out what BIOS you are running? | 09:42 |
| veliouras | any suggestions? | 09:42 |
| x1250 | kaoticsnow: you can purge mysql-server and reinstall it, and choose a new password | 09:42 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: work*, which i presume is meant to happen when not using correct 3D drivers | 09:42 |
| xxxxxxx | where can I find the hardyheron server iso. could not find it on ubuntu.com | 09:42 |
| dupin | student :then type in serch box sun and you will find sun-java6-bin | 09:43 |

| kelvin911 | how to edit sources.list?? | 09:46 |
| moon` | bah! | 09:46 |
| icqnumber | !kde | 09:46 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 09:46 |
| kelvin911 | sudo gedit sources.list ?? | 09:46 |
| SitUbuntuSit | punisher, join #ubuntu-ru | 09:46 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Let me know if you have any more ideas. Thanks | 09:46 |

| edibrac1 | is there a good reason to move from ubuntu to debian? | 09:46 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:46 |
| kelvin911 | why gksudo? | 09:47 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: sorry, I had to pop out for a second | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | what is the different? | 09:47 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: can you give me an overview if anything has changed at all | 09:47 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, seems it was last update in 02/07/06 so, probably not going to help | 09:47 |
| hyde | yes | 09:48 |
| punisher | thenks you | 09:48 |
| punisher | good bye | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | hello? what is the different between gksudo and sudo ? | 09:48 |
| SitUbuntuSit | gksudo is more for graphical interfaces that need sudo, while sudo is used more for command line. | 09:48 |
| ikonia | kelvin911: gksu is for X11 apps | 09:48 |
| hyde | DistroJockey thats the one | 09:48 |
| IntangibleLiquid | !bye | punisher | 09:48 |
| ubottu | punisher: Au revoir! | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | so how do i know when to sudo and when to gksudo? | 09:48 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Ummm, it seems to be running at an identical speed. glxgears doesn't work, which I presume is meant to happen without 3D drivers. Nothing else is different really. | 09:48 |
| IntangibleLiquid | !gksudo | 09:49 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:49 |
| DistroJockey | hyde, the system is probably shutting down far enough to not cause any damage, but I guess it would be nice not to have to use the power button to finish the job | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | so gksudo is for gui application? | 09:49 |
| noip | how do check if a specific interface is down? "ifconfig hso0" shows it even when it's down... | 09:49 |
| SitUbuntuSit | kelvin911, because graphical progs have settings and affect other docs/settings that can be borked when using sudo | 09:49 |
| SitUbuntuSit | kelvin911, yes | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: correct. Very interesting | 09:50 |
| shiesty | ? | 09:50 |

| KalEl | ever since i upgraded to the last firefox 3 beta in hardy, it keeps slowing down and stops to respond from time to time while using the hard disk for some reason | 09:51 |

| ikonia | KalEl: you have the beta version already | 09:52 |
| KalEl | the one before the latest beta | 09:52 |
| kelvin911 | after i modify sources.list, do i need to reboot ?? | 09:52 |
| KalEl | there was some upgrade which update ff3 beta and that's causing the problem | 09:52 |

| BadManiac | right no list in fdisk, how can I see a list of my physical disks and partitions, to see which is which? | 09:56 |
| MattJ | elporo: If you mean because it is running from Windows, then no, it doesn't | 09:56 |
| kelvin911 | and there is one search for file in Places | 09:56 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: try sudo mysqladmin -u root password PASSWORDHERE | 09:56 |
| elporo | that's what I meant | 09:56 |
| Uplink | ikonia, no luck dude :( | 09:56 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: yes, but its clear yout not confident what your doing | 09:56 |
| KalEl | is there any way to track what is reading from/writing to the hard disk with hardy? from time to time hard disk gets excited and system stops responding | 09:56 |
| MattJ | elporo: When you install Wubi, and select to start Ubuntu, only Ubuntu is running, Windows is thankfully not :) | 09:56 |
| kelvin911 | after i update to hardy, the font in opera changes to very thick | 09:56 |
| xxxxxxx | if I install using the desktop won't i need to uninstall gdm and all that jazz? I decided to try the server .iso | 09:56 |
| ikonia | Uplink: have you tried loading them manually throught the restricted driver maanger on the livecd | 09:57 |
| elporo | The main reason I use Linux (for now) it's security | 09:57 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: the server iso is a bad call for you | 09:57 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: the drivers you want will not be available | 09:57 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : that is tracker | 09:57 |
| patifa | Ubuntu does look a lot more awesome with compiz running, it's just a shame I can't get it working w/o the binary driver. | 09:57 |
| elporo | I use it for my internet banking and shopping and anything where security is important | 09:57 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: no luck tired that already several times it refuses to give me access | 09:57 |
| Uplink | ikonia, i tried to install ndiswrapper but couldnt download it b/c im not conenct to the internet :/ | 09:57 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: and you used sudo | 09:57 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Should I just give up for the moment? I'm upgrading soon. | 09:57 |
| ikonia | Uplink: I didn't say install ndiswrapper | 09:57 |
| xxxxxxx | Ithe only thing i need to know is how to get the video driver installed from command line for hardy heron | 09:57 |
| kaoticsnow | I'm logged in as root | 09:57 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: It hought you where on hardy already ? | 09:58 |
| baalsgate | any women in here ? | 09:58 |
| xxxxxxx | after that i should be able to manage ikonia | 09:58 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : you can custumize them in Opera | 09:58 |
| kaoticsnow | via sudo bash | 09:58 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: it won't work on the server | 09:58 |
| Uplink | ikonia, im pretty noob with ubuntu... | 09:58 |
| kelvin911 | anyone uses awn here? | 09:58 |
| baalsgate | lol | 09:58 |
| KalEl | kaoticsnow, don't log in as root | 09:58 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: why are you logged in as root | 09:58 |
| xxxxxxx | ah it won't? | 09:58 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: but why the font changes? | 09:58 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: no, as I told you a few lines up | 09:58 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Sorry I am. I mean upgrading my PC in a month. | 09:58 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: i dont know which font opera was using | 09:58 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: thats not the point to me, I'm unsure at why you are having pain | 09:58 |
| xxxxxxx | what won't work exactly? | 09:58 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: the video drivers shippe with ubuntu | 09:58 |
| KalEl | how can i check if the ubuntu cache partition is working fine? | 09:58 |
| xxxxxxx | ikonia if I use the desktop version how do i get rid of gdm and all that? | 09:59 |
| DistroJockey | KalEl, you mean swap partition? | 09:59 |
| xxxxxxx | I won't be able to apt get them? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: why do you want to get rid of them, they are an interface to X11 that your application needs | 09:59 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: Just easier | 09:59 |
| KalEl | swap partition correct DistroJockey thanks | 09:59 |
| Hamled | what is the key shortcut in gnome to open a 'run this command' window? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: you can just remove them using the package manager, anything you don't want | 09:59 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : from time to time (when changing users) it reset my fonts too,but they are back after logout nd login | 09:59 |
| paco_ | ciao a tutti | 09:59 |
| paco_ | ciao a tutti | 09:59 |
| patifa | KalEl: Check the system monitor, the Resources page. You can see how much of the swap partition is in use. | 10:00 |
| DistroJockey | KalEl, well, typing free in a terminal should do the job | 10:00 |
| xxxxxxx | ikonia I need to boot that one application. according to this all I need is an x-server mainly | 10:00 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, fancy another test | 10:00 |
| elporo | So if my windows gets infected by virus, spyware or rootkit, my Ubuntu will be ok even if it's installed with the WUBI option? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: gdm is the front end to "launch" the Xserver | 10:00 |
| xxxxxxx | this--> http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32046 | 10:00 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: this is what I mean about you not being confident with what your doing | 10:00 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yes | 10:00 |
| tommytaiwan | hello, i have a noob question about Remote Desktop | 10:00 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : you can choose which font you like and use it (in Opera I mean) | 10:00 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: do what you want - I'm advising you and you want to do your own thing - so d o it | 10:00 |
| KalEl | thanks patifa DistroJockey | 10:00 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: do you have another PC in the house ? are you on a network at all | 10:00 |
| chrissturm | is there a streaming server like icecast or shoutcast in main? | 10:00 |
| Uplink | ikonia, im pretty noob with ubuntu... | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Uplink: I appriciate that | 10:01 |
| tommytaiwan | i entered full screen mode on remote desktop, but now i can't get back to my own computer | 10:01 |
| DistroJockey | KalEl, or cat /proc/meminfo | 10:01 |
| xxxxxxx | ikonia I really appreciate all your advice. but it's possible so I want to try at least | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Uplink: open the restricted drivers manager | 10:01 |
| Hamled | what is the key shortcut in gnome to open a 'run this command' window? | 10:01 |
| DistroJockey | KalEl, you're welcome | 10:01 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: then try and stop asking questions | 10:01 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yes I am on a network, wireless actually. No other PCs are turned on at present though. | 10:01 |
| kelvin911 | i think the font is mess up after the update | 10:01 |
| Uplink | ikonia, im on windows right now | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Uplink: ok, I can't help you then | 10:01 |
| kelvin911 | anyone having the font too thick problem? | 10:01 |
| end-user | Hamled: you mean alt+f2? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, could you try sshing into your box and seeing how that console responds ? | 10:02 |
| SoerenW | hi | 10:02 |
| xxxxxxx | ha the one question i need answered is how to find out what driver I currently have installed and how to reinstall it from the command line | 10:02 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwan: there usually is a keyboard combination that will allow you to exit full-screen - did you check the docs? | 10:02 |
| KalEl | hmm my memory is all free still firefox 3 wants to access hard disk for anything i do | 10:02 |
| Uplink | ikonia, how am I supposed to connect to here with ubuntu if i cant even connect to the internet? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | xxxxxxx: and I've answer that for you | 10:02 |
| xxxxxxx | I'll figure that out. thanks anyway. you've been a huge help | 10:02 |
| * DistroJockey hopes patifa is a nice word KalEl :) | 10:02 | |
| ikonia | Uplink: your not, your supposed to write down what I've suggested and try it | 10:02 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : I know what are you talking about I expirienced same thing | 10:02 |
| Uplink | ok ok | 10:02 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I'll ssh in with my ipod touch cause it's quicker than booting up my incredibly slow laptop. | 10:02 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: what was it? | 10:02 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: what is causing this? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: thats fine | 10:02 |
| tommytaiwan | jaredbuck: where are the docs? | 10:02 |
| dupin | kelvin911 ???????????? | 10:02 |
| KalEl | DistroJockey, actually it's some one else's nick who also answered me :) | 10:02 |
| Hamled | that is what I meant, yes thanks | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: I'm trying to work out if the PC is having issues, or if it is just the actual screen draw | 10:03 |
| jk_ | how do i list the contents of a tar.b2z archive | 10:03 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: i thought u experience the font problem too | 10:03 |
| end-user | Hamled: :) | 10:03 |
| ikonia | jk_: tar tjvf $file | 10:03 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwan: let me check for you. | 10:03 |
| jk_ | thanks | 10:03 |
| Uplink | ikonia, im listening | 10:03 |
| Uplink | open restrict driv man | 10:03 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I think it's the PC but I'm really not sure what exactly. | 10:03 |
| DistroJockey | KalEl, ohh, ahh, sorry patifa :) | 10:03 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: now the bold fonts are so thick | 10:03 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: its like bold bold font | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Uplink: boot ubuntu, open the restricted driver manager from the system menu and see if it can enable/load the broadcom drivers | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: this will give us a good hint | 10:03 |
| Hamled | now, is there a way to make sure that emerald is setup as the theme manager at startup, so I don't have to run emerald --replace manually? | 10:03 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : yes,I it can be related with new version not be polish | 10:04 |
| Uplink | ok ikonia, TY TY ^_^ | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Hamled: there is post on the forum for that, let me see if I can find it | 10:04 |
| Uplink | it said microcode error | 10:04 |
| Hamled | ikonia, thanks | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Uplink: how have you tested it so quick | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Uplink: you said you where not on windows | 10:04 |
| ikonia | where on windows | 10:04 |
| DistroJockey | KalEl, I guess you could install firefox-2 and see if you have the same issue | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Uplink: ubuntu doesn't boot that quick | 10:04 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: ok I'm in | 10:04 |
| Uplink | ikonia, it was on the boot screen | 10:04 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : in Opera tools>peferences>advanced>fonts | 10:04 |
| dw90 | hey people I got a problem, some of DVDs I cant mount, I get error message: Unable to mount media. here is probably no media in the drive. | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, how response is it to general typing | 10:05 |
| moon` | okay, say I have a choice between four files: *.rpm *.tar.bz2 *.tar.gz and *.deb | which to I download and how to I install it once I've downloaded | 10:05 |
| ikonia | Uplink: let me search on that | 10:05 |
| moon` | this is for opera 9.50b | 10:05 |
| ikonia | moon`: deb is for the ubuntu package manager, however make sure it is compatible with ubuntu | 10:05 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwan: the help file for krdc says there should be an icon somewhere on your screen that looks like a monitor with arrows at the four corners of the monitor icon. | 10:05 |
| DistroJockey | moon`, and dpkg would be how | 10:06 |
| moon` | ikonia: ty | 10:06 |
| jk_ | ikonia, i am trying back up when i use tar -jcf i get a message "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names" is this an error | 10:06 |
| moon` | DistroJockey: ty also | 10:06 |
| dupin | moon` : select Opera for ubuntu deb package | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | mooky, np | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | oops, sorry mooky | 10:06 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: It's pretty good. The occasional tiny "lag" (not really the correct term) but I think that happened in 7.10 | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | moon`, np :) | 10:06 |
| ikonia | jk_: no, not an error | 10:06 |
| dw90 | some of DVDs I cant mount, I get error message: Unable to mount media. here is probably no media in the drive. Is there a force mount option? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, so that backs up my theory - it's the screen re-draw | 10:06 |
| jk_ | cheers ikonia | 10:06 |
| SkinnYPup | Is there a way to thorottle back cpu intensive apps in background? | 10:06 |
| moon` | is there a way to use the other files as well? | 10:06 |
| tommytaiwan | jaredbuck: oh, but i don't see anything like that on my screen | 10:06 |
| ikonia | SkinnYPup: man nice | 10:06 |
| moon` | dupin: the x86_64 architecture for opera isn't listed on there site | 10:06 |
| SkinnYPup | ikonia: ;0) thx | 10:07 |
| tommytaiwan | jaredbuck: where is the document so i can read more? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | moon`: then it's not available | 10:07 |
| DistroJockey | moon`, yep, there's a way, may not be pretty though | 10:07 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: That makes sense. Yeah that makes sense, mind you I still have no idea what is causing it. | 10:07 |
| moon` | DistroJockey: was just asking for future reference ;) | 10:07 |
| end-user | Hi, I'm sure this has been asked a lot lately, but I've tried a few forum solutions to no avail: Is there any fix for Flash crashing Firefox, or do we pretty much have to rough it out for a while? | 10:07 |
| MaxMekker | Forward/back-buttons in FireFox 3 beta 5 do not work. I just upgraded ubuntu to Hardy Heron. How to fix the buttons in FF? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: give me a moment or two to walk that through | 10:08 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwan: open up krdc and select help - krdc handbook. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: your card is the 6600 isn't it ? | 10:08 |
| kelvin911 | how come gtk-window decorator can not make the title bar like mac OSX? | 10:08 |
| tom____ | this is going to sound stupid, but for a stock standard hardy install, do i just get the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386 image? | 10:08 |
| kelvin911 | only emerald theme manager can customize title bar? | 10:08 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: No, TNT2 | 10:09 |
| DistroJockey | tom____, personally I would get the Alternate | 10:09 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Hence why I'll be upgrading in a month :P | 10:09 |
| tom____ | DistroJockey: how come? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ahhhh what chipset is on that | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: I remeber this | 10:09 |
| DistroJockey | tom____, works better with differing install types | 10:09 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I'm not sure of the chipset to be honest. Is there a way to check? | 10:09 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwan: i am trying to find the keyboard shortcuts for kdrc, be patient. | 10:10 |
| tommytaiwan | jaredbuck: i think i'm not using kdrc. I'm using the default client for Hardy. | 10:10 |
| tom____ | DistroJockey: ok but i'm gonna have an xserver and everything, i doubt i'll change any defaults | 10:10 |
| DistroJockey | tom____, if you don't need live CD type function, get alternate I say :) | 10:10 |
| DistroJockey | tom____, should do the job fine | 10:10 |
| === krel is now known as vkrel | ||
| tom____ | DistroJockey: ok thanks mate | 10:10 |
| DistroJockey | tom____, no problem | 10:11 |
| SkinnYPup | Does change priority of a process in system monitor have the effect of thorottleing back that process cpu% or is this likely to crash a prog? vmware-vmx is eating a lotta cycles | 10:11 |
| tommytaiwan | jaredbuck: it's called "Remote Desktop Viewer" so i think i can check the help file there | 10:11 |
| sa | hey everyone | 10:12 |
| hp_ | hi | 10:12 |
| tommytaiwan | jaredbuck: thanks for your help. I just had to press F11 or Ctr+Alt | 10:12 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwain: glad i could help. | 10:12 |
| hp_ | my computer would randomly freezes. and i would have no control of the keyboard and mouse. do anyone know how to fix this? | 10:12 |
| jaredbuck | tommytaiwan: glad i could help :) | 10:12 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: sorry, I missed what you said, darn phone rang again | 10:12 |
| hp_ | and the sounds would just repeat itself over and over and over again | 10:12 |
| sa | i just installed kopete for KDE to my GNOME. How come it is working but I cannot access the menu? | 10:12 |
| hp_ | i tried everything. and it even crashed when i'm nto watching anything | 10:12 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I'm not what chipset it is. Is there a way to check? | 10:13 |
| kaoticsnow | =( time for a relaod | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: what does "lspci" say about it | 10:13 |
| Uplink | ikonia, i wanna dual boot XP with Ubuntu | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: I know it's an nvidia but I can't remember the chipset | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Uplink: ok ? | 10:13 |
| Uplink | good idea? | 10:13 |
| jaredbuck | sa: make sure the kde regular packages are installed - try installing kubuntu-desktop. kopete won't work unless you have the kde files installed. | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Uplink: up to you | 10:13 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: one moment | 10:14 |
| nox-Hand | Can anyone confirm for me sourceforge is down? | 10:14 |
| sa | jaredbuck: ok, thank you. Another question. HOw do I install new emoticons to kopete? | 10:14 |
| kelvin911 | anyone heard of Mac4Lin package? | 10:14 |
| BadManiac | How can I tell which disk SDA or SDB my OS and swap partition is on, and which is the blank disk? | 10:14 |
| dupin | Uplink : most of people started that way | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: got you ! | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: please show me "dpkg -l | grep nvidia-glx" | 10:14 |
| jaredbuck | sa: i don't know the answer to that one, the kopete defaults work fine for me. but i can look it up for you. | 10:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | nox-Hand: here's a useful link. Bookmark it. http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ | 10:15 |
| DistroJockey | nox-Hand, confirmed | 10:15 |
| jaredbuck | nox-Hand: it does seem to be down on my machine. | 10:15 |
| nox-Hand | ArthurArchnix: Thanks, that's awesome :) | 10:15 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: err that's pretty long, should I use pastebin or something? | 10:15 |
| Uplink | dupin ty | 10:15 |
| sa | jaredbuck: thank you. I am looking into it also but cannot find it | 10:15 |
| DistroJockey | cheers ArthurArchnix :) | 10:15 |
| Nevstah | can anyone suggest why i can't upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? in ssh all i get is http://pastebin.com/d2842290 | 10:15 |
| x1250 | pastebin yes! :D | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ahhh please | 10:16 |
| ShinMaster | hello to all | 10:16 |
| dupin | Uplink : read http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing | 10:16 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Wait sorry it's not long... It's short :P I missed where it started | 10:16 |

| Boredom_inc | ikonia: ii nvidia-glx-legacy 71.86.04+2.6.24.12-16.34 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' dri | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: 2 minutes please | 10:16 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: No worries | 10:16 |
| dupin | Uplink np | 10:17 |
| jaredbuck | sa: take a look here: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdenetwork/kopete/faq.html#id2557327 and look at 8.4. | 10:17 |
| mrtimdog | Hi, I've just started up my hardy and my desktop is now showing my home dir!? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ok, back, short phone call | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: ahhh rats, its the correct legacy package | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: I thought you where using the wrong one | 10:18 |
| kaoticsnow | the iso for spark cpu's is not on the dowload page anymore? | 10:18 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: lol, no.... the mystery continues. | 10:18 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: I don't think sparc is a supported platform anymore | 10:18 |
| anix | hi, do you know burning tool that can burn CD/DVD for booting-up?? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: thisi s very frustrating | 10:19 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: wonderfull | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: it "looks" like your card has issues with the current drivers, but as it worked when you first installed it I can't see what would change to make it slow down | 10:19 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Maybe my computer is hinting it is old and tired:P | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: that card is certainly old | 10:19 |
| jaredbuck | anix: k3b can burn CDs/DVDs that boot, the files on the disc themselves will tell your computer that they can be booted from the disc when it starts up. | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: you've not got compiz enabled have you ? | 10:19 |
| mrtimdog | Is there a gconf key for nautilus which contains the location of the folder used for the desktop? | 10:20 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Compiz wouldn't enable if I tried :P | 10:20 |
| jaredbuck | sa, did you check out the link i gave you? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: didn't think so | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: I want to give you a solution, I really do, but it does appear that card is just not happy with the driver | 10:20 |
| sa | jaredbuck: cool, thank you | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: the top session and the ssh session backs that up | 10:20 |
| jaredbuck | sa, no problem :) google search works wonders LOL. | 10:21 |
| anix | jaredbuck: where i can download it? | 10:21 |
| sa | jaredbuck: hahaha | 10:21 |
| ddonky | i just upgraded to hardy and firefox 3 beta keeps crashing. why even provide a beta release? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: last shot, try changing the Driver "nvidia" line to Driver "nv" and restarting Xorg | 10:21 |
| phome | morning fellas, can I increase the 2d frame rate/redraw? I don't want to use compiz | 10:21 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Ok brb | 10:21 |
| ikonia | ddonky: the majority of people are finding the beta release more stable than the stable firefox2 branch | 10:21 |
| DistroJockey | ddonky, it is very stable by default | 10:21 |
| ikonia | ddonky: that was the theory behind it | 10:21 |
| jaredbuck | anix: k3b comes standard if you installed kubuntu or kde. if you didn't install it right away you can install it using a package manager or in GNOME, the add/remove applications selection. | 10:22 |
| sa | jaredbuck: hahaha | 10:22 |
| Nevstah | are there any 'real' problems upgrading over ssh? | 10:22 |
| ddonky | ahh, ok | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Nevstah: if your network dies - your install is dead | 10:22 |
| DistroJockey | ddonky, I suggest disabling plugins | 10:22 |
| DistroJockey | ddonky, some or all, up to you | 10:23 |
| Nevstah | so i need to do it locally and plug monitor/keybd in then? | 10:23 |
| kaoticsnow | 7.04 is the last release avaliable on spark right? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: looks that way | 10:23 |
| co_mo_CO | 55i | 10:23 |
| ddonky | DistroJockey - someone else told me it may be flash related | 10:23 |
| kaoticsnow | kk I give up on this box reinstalling | 10:23 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: the arch is called sparc (incase you do things like google search) | 10:23 |
| moon` | how do you tell what version of ubuntu you have i.e. dapper drake, gutsy, feisty, hardon | 10:23 |
| DistroJockey | ddonky, very likely | 10:24 |
| ikonia | moon`: lsb_release -a | 10:24 |
| Jaymac | i have a collection of ogg vorbis files, is there an easy way to merge them into one single audio file? | 10:24 |
| moon` | dandi, thanks ikonia | 10:24 |
| ddonky | for now i'm sticking with ff2 which has mouse gestures | 10:24 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Things actually seem to be running smoother with nv instead of nvidia. But now I don't have GLX support | 10:24 |
| DistroJockey | ddonky, :) | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: yes, thats a side effect | 10:24 |
| realityiswhere` | Jaymac, there's a program called audacity that you can use to do that. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: the nv driver won't support glx | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: but the fact that the driver makes a difference again leans towards the card + driver = not happy | 10:25 |
| anix | hi, at startup, ubuntu tell me that my laptop's battery has very low cap.(33%). What can I do? | 10:25 |
| Jaymac | realityiswhere`: yeah i have audacity.. was hoping there was a simpler tool :) thanks | 10:25 |
| anix | ''my laptop is new | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: is it noticable better ? | 10:25 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I don't understand why not though. The driver hasn't changed since 7.10 | 10:25 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yeah | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: oooh the driver has changed | 10:25 |
| sa | jaredbuck: When I use kopete there is a pop-up showing everytime somebody sends me a message | 10:25 |
| sa | jaredbuck: how do i get rid of that pop-up? | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: when you upgraded, the driver changed | 10:25 |
| === realityiswhere` is now known as realityiswhere | ||
| jaredbuck | sa: I'd like to get rid of that popup too LOL. | 10:26 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Really? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: yes | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: and the kernel interface that links into the driver also changed | 10:26 |
| sa | jaredbuck: so anoying | 10:26 |
| sa | jaredbuck: annoying | 10:26 |
| Jast98 | Morning everyone. | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: thats one of the reasons it's not advisable for people to run off and get drivers from nvidia.com as they are sensitive to things like kernel changes | 10:26 |
| jaredbuck | sa: it sure is. I can try to figure out for both of us how to fix that. | 10:26 |
| Jast98 | Need some help with a botched upgrade. | 10:27 |
| tom____ | if i was going to put my /home on a different partition, how much hard disk space should i leave for / | 10:27 |
| Jast98 | 6.06 to 8.04 went way wrong. | 10:27 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Hmmm, does that mean even if I revert the driver it still may not work as well due to the new kernel interface linking. | 10:27 |
| ikonia | tom____: minimum of 4G | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | sa, jaredbuck : have you check with the folks in #kubuntu ? | 10:27 |
| kklimonda | Jast98: on desktop or server? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: possibly/possibly not | 10:27 |
| tom____ | ikonia, how much so that it won't run out in the next 6 months | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: you could try booting the gutsy kernel in hardy ? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | tom____: depends on your use | 10:28 |
| tom____ | would 20 gig be excessive? | 10:28 |
| Jast98 | kklimonda: desktop with LVM. It looks like the LVM isn't being loaded after the upgrade. Still loading the old kernel. | 10:28 |
| ikonia | tom____: if you have it to spare | 10:28 |
| Uplink | dupin, so i partion my HDD into a logical partition? | 10:28 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Is the the second option I have from grub? I have two kernels listed. | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: should be yes | 10:28 |
| ikonia | (not the one that says recovery) | 10:28 |
| dupin | tom____ yes 10 is enough | 10:28 |
| tom____ | dupin: ok cool | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: 2.6.22-14 or something around that | 10:28 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Yeah I think that's it | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: try it | 10:29 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Hmm that's a pain having to use an outdated kernel... Ok brb | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: not really "outdated" | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: just not bleeding endge | 10:29 |
| Uplink | dupin, i have a 100GB NTFS partition where all my windows is, a 12GB FAT12 (HP RECOVERY PARTITION) and 1GB NTFS partition of nothing in it | 10:29 |
| kaoticsnow | ikonia: ok quick questios, after I reinstall this system, whats the FIRST thing I need to do to start setting up the mysql database? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Boredom_inc: the gutsy kernel is fine | 10:29 |
| Jast98 | kklimonda: The old 6.06 spash is still showing as well. | 10:29 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: I'll set xorg.conf back to nvidia first? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 10:29 |
| sa | DistroJockey: no, not yet | 10:29 |
| ikonia | kaoticsnow: then it should prompt you to set a root password | 10:30 |

| ubuntung-pino1 | I'm trying to install Win XP on a slave HD. Thing is, its setup wants to write to the master disk, and it tells me to create an XP-compatible partition there.. | 10:32 |
| harry_ | how can i connect "default" to a wpa2 protected network of mine? | 10:32 |
| harry_ | if i go to "edit wireless networks", it's there, i can see it, with correct settings | 10:32 |
| ikonia | ubuntung-pino1: thats a limitation of XP | 10:32 |
| harry_ | but it won't connect at boot | 10:32 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | ikonia: any ideas for keeping XP from doing this? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | ubuntung-pino1: you can't | 10:33 |
| ikonia | ubuntung-pino1: you have to take the ubuntu disk out for the XP install | 10:33 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | ikonia: u mean install the effing thing with just the slave disk (set up as a master then)? | 10:33 |
| Ridion | Hi all! | 10:34 |
| DistroJockey | ubuntung-pino1, I'd install Windows on a disk (only 1 disk installed) then remove that disk and install Ubuntu on another. Then reconnect the Windows disk and set grub to find it. | 10:34 |

| arooni__ | hey team! if i have a gutsy laptop (lenovo t61)... 1) is it safe to upgrade to hardy? 2) is it the right time to do that (in terms of traffic and trying to get the upgrade via the cool built in UI in gutsy)? 3) if its ok to go... how do i start running it? how long will it take? | 10:35 |
| Jast98 | It seems like it loads the boot partition, but then fails to load the LVM. | 10:35 |
| ubuntung-pino1 | ikonia: oh my..but Hardy is already settled snuggly.. if i took out the HD that has mu Hardy, then install Windows on that 2nd HD, then pop the HD with Hardy in it, will I be able to use both? | 10:35 |

I need to give my dissertation presentation on an ubuntu machine in an hour and it's forced an fsck on one of my drives on boot; it talks about a duplicate block and then i see lots of "Multiply-claimed block(s) on inode <number>:..." messages - it appears to have frozen after these messages, it's been like it for 10 minutes | 10:36 |
| ph8 | anyone ever seen that before? | 10:36 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Sorry incorrect english. The driver is listed correctly | 10:36 |
| Ridion | can anybody help me with actually getting the live ubuntu disk to boot? | 10:37 |
| kkdw | ph8 tried to boot with a cd ? you might be able to mount from there | 10:37 |
| Ridion | I know it sounds basic | 10:37 |
| Ridion | but it's not | 10:37 |
| DistroJockey | arooni__, I'd have to say no. (but that's my opinion) | 10:37 |

| Carbonflux | this only happens in 8.04 | 10:52 |
| kelvin911 | what font does original theme uses??? | 10:52 |
| dupin | ubuntung-pino1 :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=grub sorry for waiting | 10:52 |
| Jazman_brewer | what about nero | 10:53 |
| Jazman_brewer | and photoshop elements | 10:53 |
| Imaginal | Silly question, what goes in ~/Templates ? | 10:53 |
| Carbonflux | its really annoying | 10:53 |
| Carbonflux | I am going to have to stop using thunderbird because of it | 10:53 |
| Carbonflux | I don't see another email problem around either | 10:53 |
| Carbonflux | they all seem to suck | 10:54 |
| Carbonflux | need a blackberry to check my desktop email I guess | 10:54 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: well as for photoshop, I guess all I can recommend is The Gimp. For Nero, I guess it sort of depends on your CD burning needs. I mean, much of it is very intuitive. For example, Windows, you needed to use Nero to burn the .iso, while here you'd just right click the file and burn to disc. | 10:54 |
| Carbonflux | its got to be a problem with Twinview | 10:54 |
| Carbonflux | its the weirdest thing I have seen | 10:54 |
| Carbonflux | only thunderbird is effected too | 10:54 |
| kelvin911 | hello anyone can answer my font problem? | 10:55 |
| Carbonflux | I checked all the settings in CCSM too | 10:55 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: For audio CD's, you can either simply use your given music player, or Brasero Disc Burning | 10:55 |
| Carbonflux | it just removes all the decorations and maximizes the window in allways on top mode, only thunderbird | 10:56 |
| Jazman_brewer | got brasero | 10:56 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: Brasero is under Sound and video | 10:56 |
| Jazman_brewer | what about dvd shrink | 10:56 |
| Carbonflux | so, what does everyone else in the channel use for email ? | 10:56 |
| Carbonflux | clearly not Thunderbird | 10:56 |
| Twim4 | Carbonflux, webmail =) | 10:57 |
| dupin | Carbonflux :Opera | 10:57 |
| Carbonflux | thats not a bad idea heh | 10:57 |
| Carbonflux | ah ok | 10:57 |
| Carbonflux | does | 10:57 |
| Carbonflux | Opera have a client ? | 10:57 |
| Carbonflux | ( sorry for the extra return ) | 10:57 |
| Jazman_brewer | i like fire fox but some oages the text is small | 10:57 |
| Imaginal | Is ~/Templates important? It looks useless | 10:58 |
| Carbonflux | I have never seen a bug like this | 10:58 |
| dupin | Carbonflux :In Opera email client is built in | 10:58 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: Sorry :( I must admit I don't do a ton of burning myself. However, typing dvd shrink in Add/Remove brought up a program called Dvd95 converter - does that seem to have some utilities you could use? | 10:58 |
| Carbonflux | Thunderbird is a buggy piece of shit imo now | 10:58 |
| dupin | Carbonflux Chat,torent........ | 10:58 |
| Jazman_brewer | it does | 10:58 |
| DistroJockey | Imaginal, it's empty here. Why are you woried about it? | 10:58 |
| Carbonflux | dupin, is it biased towards webmail ? | 10:58 |
| jussio1 | !language | Carbonflux | 10:58 |
| ubottu | Carbonflux: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:58 |
| Carbonflux | lol ok | 10:58 |
| Jazman_brewer | this linux has prog for every win stuff | 10:58 |
| dupin | Carbonflux :I never use it | 10:59 |
| Imaginal | DistroJockey: OCD. If it is there, it must have a purpose. If it doesn't, I want it gone :) | 10:59 |
| Twim4 | how can i set the opera for mail client? | 10:59 |
| Twim4 | set up* | 10:59 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: I know it is a little frustrating. You may want to check out Balsa or Claws. Balsa is very gnome-integrated, if you are into aesthetics | 10:59 |
| Carbonflux | s**t is not one of those non family words tho jussio1 but thanks for stopping me anyway, I was getting frustrated | 10:59 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to change the screen brightness sensitivity? 1 function+down lowers it from 100 to 50% | 11:00 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, ah thanks, great ideas | 11:00 |
| Flynsarmy | The next lowers it to 0 | 11:00 |
| DistroJockey | Imaginal, fair enough :) I did try and see if it was Openoffice related, but it doesn't appear to be | 11:00 |
| dupin | Twim4 :Just install Opera and you will find e-mail client under tools | 11:00 |
| Carbonflux | I just feel like there are no good email clients anymore | 11:00 |
| Carbonflux | I suspect its because its all going mobile | 11:00 |
| Carbonflux | I don't want to write one because I don't really need it that much either | 11:01 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: np, I really liked balsa except they don't have outbound HTML emails. That is a make or break for a lot of people, I realize. It takes inbound just fine, though. | 11:01 |
| Carbonflux | webmail might just be best | 11:01 |
| Carbonflux | ah thats fine with me | 11:01 |
| Carbonflux | I never send HTML mails | 11:01 |
| Carbonflux | to risky | 11:01 |
| Imaginal | DistroJockey: Thanks for the pondering. Enough validation to rm for me. | 11:02 |
| DistroJockey | Imaginal, yeah, I'm sure it will come back if it's really needed ;) | 11:02 |
| laughzilla | w00t! i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.x via Synaptic Package Manager. so far so good ... still testing it out. | 11:03 |
| Carbonflux | ( I can't believe that guy gave me that family friendly thing over s**t tho, that is very annoying, I am going afk before I have banned from this channel because it making me really mad ) | 11:03 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: I hope that one works for you - yeah, they do cover a ton of bases. And Add/Remove is really friendly with experimenting with programs, I mean, you can just sample a ton of programs really fast. Don't be afraid to try out a bunch at once to see what you are into, say, for example, you wanted to compare the audio players | 11:03 |
| mihai__ | a | 11:03 |
| Carbonflux | I hate censorship when its just for the sake of being a jerk | 11:03 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: Yeah, they are pretty adamant about no HTML in Balsa, heh - lot of people would probably like the option, but the devs of it stick to their guns. | 11:04 |
| Carbonflux | well, I find it really bad that email clients default to showing html end-user | 11:04 |
| Carbonflux | its a huge security problem | 11:04 |
| Twim4 | dupin, thx )) | 11:04 |
| dupin | Twim4 : np | 11:04 |
| Carbonflux | I would never send html email to a actual friend heh | 11:04 |
| Carbonflux | to many issues | 11:04 |
| Jazman_brewer | it looks that way | 11:05 |
| kelvin911 | hello? anyone have the font problem? | 11:05 |
| Jazman_brewer | but also free stuff no ned for patches so i dont pay for it | 11:05 |
| Jazman_brewer | just got to get wine going on a few programs | 11:05 |
| Jazman_brewer | then goodbye mr gates | 11:05 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: Yeah, I guess that's a bad habit of mine - although I'm cautious to people who I don't know the preferences of. Then I default to plain-text. of course, Balsa has a bunch of safeguards for incoming, with the defaults leaning to no | 11:05 |
| Boredom_inc | ikonia: Looks like I'll have to give up. Thank you for all the help though | 11:06 |
| Jazman_brewer | good firewall and anti virus | 11:06 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, its the preview window that infects most machines, because to click on something to mark it spam allows it to run stuff in the preview | 11:06 |
| dupin | kelvin911 :try in system<preferences>appearance | 11:07 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: yeah, I have to admit, I haven't tested wine fully. There are some great kill a few minutes games, but not too many epics here. | 11:07 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: Oh really? what if you have the preview window off by default? | 11:08 |
| kelvin911 | dupin what was the original font? | 11:08 |
| kelvin911 | i didnt change any setting after the update, but the fonts are thick and ugly now | 11:08 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, I have not personally seen a email client that defaults to off, but ya, turning it off is the first thing I do | 11:08 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, should be fine unless you open the message | 11:08 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: I find that intriguing though. I could have sworn the settings seemed to affect the preview the same as they did when I double clicked an email | 11:08 |
| kelvin911 | what is your font setting overthere? | 11:08 |
| kelvin911 | is it 96 dots per inch? | 11:08 |
| DistroJockey | kelvin911, usually 96, yeah | 11:09 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : sorry I don´t follow you Do you mean in Opera or in Ubuntu system | 11:09 |
| kelvin911 | font = sans?" | 11:09 |
| kelvin911 | in ubuntu | 11:09 |
| end-user | DistroJockey, Carbonflux: Hmm, well I'll bear that in mind. luckily, I haven't gotten any spam yet, heh. I'm very cautious about ending up on lists (juggling a ton of email addresses, etc.) | 11:09 |
| dupin | kelvin911 yes | 11:10 |
| gjamc | hi, is ubuntu hardy wedged? | 11:10 |
| kelvin911 | after i update from 7.10 to 8.04 fonts are f up | 11:10 |
| gjamc | I mean, I dist-upgraded and it removed gnome-panel :-/ | 11:10 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : I know but language! | 11:10 |
| kelvin911 | dupin: u have the same problem? | 11:10 |
| * DistroJockey adds another reason to the list of why I don't upgrade (damn, this list is getting long) | 11:11 | |
| kelvin911 | i shouldnt upgrade | 11:11 |
| end-user | DistroJockey: So do you wait a few weeks first? | 11:11 |
| kelvin911 | now maple doesnt work | 11:11 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, nope, I do a clean install | 11:11 |
| kelvin911 | how to change it back? | 11:11 |
| kelvin911 | or i need clean install? | 11:11 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, I use ctrl-U to open them, which is show source on most linux clients I have used | 11:12 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : Not right now,because I didn´t upgrade but I know that from expirience | 11:12 |
| Carbonflux | unless I know the person personally | 11:12 |
| end-user | DistroJockey: Oh, I misunderstood. Yeah, I've only been using since Feisty, but when Gutsy came out, I upgraded, then did clean, and the difference was quite substantial. I have to admit, even with my clean install this time, I have a few problems. | 11:13 |
| DistroJockey | but I do have spare hard drives and time and no special programs that need to be installed | 11:13 |
| Carbonflux | is jussi01 a bot ? | 11:13 |
| dupin | kelvin911 : wait and that will be fixed by updates ( I hope ) | 11:13 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, with Hardy? | 11:13 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: Oh, sorry If I was rambling on about clients before, sounds like you've probably used more than me heh | 11:13 |
| name1 | hi | 11:13 |
| jussio1 | Carbonflux: I most certainly am not :) | 11:13 |
| dupin | kelvin911 :you can not downgrde | 11:13 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, no, its interesting listening to your views | 11:13 |
| dupin | *downgrade | 11:14 |
| Carbonflux | jussi01, do you use a mail client in 8.04? have you had any problems with decorations being removed ? | 11:14 |
| neil_d | help! I have a nvidia, I have installed nvidia-glx-new, enabled the driver with 'Hardware drivers' manager, but the best resolution I can get is still 800x600 :( what am I doing wrong ? | 11:14 |
| end-user | DistroJockey: Yes, just I suppose the same resolution stuff I go through everytime, got through it ok. A few sound issues, but I suppose I had them before, and just kind of crossed my fingers that they'd be fixed this time around (but the fix was simple once I saw how) | 11:14 |
| jussio1 | Carbonflux: I use Kmail on kde. And no, I have no issues with it. | 11:15 |
| gjamc | uff, ubuntu dist upgrade status back to normal :-P | 11:15 |
| gjamc | I hate temporary problems :| | 11:16 |
| name1 | so I was installing 8.04 and I have the famous wmp11v27. but it locks up. so when I take the card out it loads and installs fine. when I put it back in after instalation it no longer loads. am I screwed? | 11:16 |
| name1 | pm if possible. | 11:16 |
| Carbonflux | jussi01, thanks, I was just curious if you were more then a channel cop, I was thinking kmail might be a option for me, I am having real problems with thunderbird. | 11:16 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, yeah, I'm finding things that worked fine in 7.10 don't in 8.04. So if 7.10 works, I suggest staying there for now. (just my opinion) | 11:16 |
| d_avid | pffrrrt | 11:16 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: Do you think Gnome is a little...picky? (trying to soften that a bit) about letting mail use the system tray? I mean, I appreciate alltray but it is kind of a pain with desktop effects, etc. Just seems like they should let the email program use the tray if so many users would like it to | 11:16 |
| Carbonflux | I just wish i could find someone else that is having these Thunderbird issues | 11:17 |
| d_avid | installing ubuntu on a m670 MSI laptop.. this laptop is hell.. I tell you.. HELL!... | 11:17 |
| d_avid | tho.. thankgod for ubuntu's option to install without networking | 11:17 |
| * moon` pats d_avid | 11:17 | |
| name1 | so I was installing 8.04 and I have the famous wmp11v27. but it locks up. so when I take the card out it loads and installs fine. when I put it back in after instalation it no longer loads. any ideas? | 11:17 |
| moon` | there there | 11:17 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, its part of a movement to challenge windows, be more windows then windows, its too like to stop it imo :) | 11:17 |
| d_avid | thnx | 11:17 |
| dupin | d_avid :let it burn | 11:17 |
| moon` | :) | 11:17 |
| DistroJockey | d_avid, using the Alternate CD? | 11:17 |
| d_avid | yes | 11:17 |
| jussio1 | Carbonflux: heh. Im kinda busy so aften dont have time. Thing is kmail integrates very nicely into kde, so thats why I use it. Im not a big mail client user though, so probably best to keep asking here, or even #ubuntu-offtopic might be good, if you are looking for discussion, not support. | 11:18 |
| moon` | anyone have any suggestions for a firewall prog besides firestarter, or is firestarter a pretty decent one? | 11:18 |
| Carbonflux | jussi01, I am having serious problems with something directly related to Ubuntu 8.04 specificly, you sure had time to censor my language, anyway, thanks, I might try kmail. | 11:19 |
| end-user | DistroJockey: Yeah, I have to admit, I'm still in a phase where I switch back and forth between Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but at some point I'd like to settle down (lol). Thank god for /home partition. I guess what really bugs me most right now in Gutsy will probably be wrapped up soon, it is the Firefox flash bug - I don't know what the scoop there is, but I cross my fingers for when Gnash replaces flash completely, because, I was just in Kubuntu about a | 11:19 |
| d_avid | yea... the alternate CD is pretty cool.. all is well for now.. I tried to install winXP, opensuse, ubuntu (livecd)... none of them work.. even win98 doesn't run on the laptop.. | 11:20 |
| Jazman_brewer | isnt firestarter just a firewall config | 11:20 |
| Carbonflux | OS is about people being nice to each other and helping each other with a open mind | 11:20 |
| dupin | moon` : if you are runing Hardy you have ufw | 11:20 |
| d_avid | so now the alternate CD.. looks good uptill now :) | 11:20 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: How do you feel about Kmail? | 11:20 |
| Carbonflux | I need to try it | 11:20 |
| dupin | moon :Uncomplicated Firewall) | 11:20 |
| Jazman_brewer | is kamil better than thunderbird | 11:21 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: (I meant to add, when you've used KDE) | 11:21 |
| Carbonflux | I have gotten kde base all installed in 8.04 and its working | 11:21 |
| d_avid | (obviously just winvista runs.. and I refuse to even boot into it) | 11:21 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, i install gnome first and then pull in what kde apps i like and also install kcontrol | 11:21 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, yep, good choice with the /home being separate. As for me, flash works fine with the flashplugin-nonfree | 11:21 |
| end-user | Carbonflux: Yeah, I don't like mixing them up (just a personal hangup of mine, I know ;) but I loved Kmail on Kubuntu, it was simply perfect for me | 11:21 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, kcontrol lets me match the colors to gnome somewaht | 11:21 |
| Carbonflux | end-user, well, thats good to hear, I will try it right now then | 11:22 |
| name1 | can anyone help me with a wmp11 and 8.04 install question? | 11:22 |
| lgierth | hi, can i burn the iso-image of 8.04 to a dvd instead of a cd? | 11:22 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, I don't mix either, Gnome for me | 11:22 |
| Jazman_brewer | try it lg | 11:22 |
| Carbonflux | name1, you are trying to run it under wine ? | 11:22 |
| lgierth | Jazman_brewer, okay :) | 11:22 |
| name1 | wine? | 11:23 |
| === sprint_ is now known as j-w | ||
| Carbonflux | what do you mean by wmp11 ? | 11:23 |
| Carbonflux | name1, what do you mean by wmp11 ? | 11:23 |
| lgierth | Carbonflux, windows media player 11 | 11:23 |
| Jazman_brewer | windows media player 11] | 11:23 |
| d_avid | lgierth: there is a DVD install iso.. I think | 11:23 |
| DistroJockey | windows media player 11 | 11:23 |
| Carbonflux | thats what I though | 11:23 |
| DistroJockey | heh | 11:23 |
| Carbonflux | so, thus the question | 11:23 |
| Carbonflux | are you trying to run it in wine? | 11:23 |
| DistroJockey | why!? | 11:23 |
| name1 | when I try to install 8/04 with my linksys card in the computer it wont load or install, so I take it out and it does both fine. after instaqlling I put back in the card and it wont load. | 11:24 |
| Jazman_brewer | lg do the dvd and see if boots | 11:24 |
| name1 | no wine | 11:24 |
| Jazman_brewer | start in cd rom in bios | 11:24 |
| d_avid | lgierth: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ | 11:24 |
| Carbonflux | how does wmp11 and 8.04 relate to each other name1 ? | 11:24 |
| name1 | thats what im asking. | 11:24 |
| end-user | DistroJockey: I am so torn between the two. I really love them both, but when I'm on one, I tend to stick with it. Although, and maybe this is blasphemy, and frankly I haven't tried much either way, but it seemed like KDE handled the few GTK/Gnome apps a little cleaner than vice-versa. I guess I'm comparing it to back in Feisty, when I tried to put a bunch of KDE games on Gnome, and it just wasn't right. | 11:24 |
| name1 | the wireless card wont let 8.04 load. | 11:24 |
| name1 | but when I take it out it loads fine. | 11:24 |
| lgierth | d_avid, thanks, i'll try it if the cd->dvd doesnt work | 11:24 |
| Carbonflux | name1, well there are two basic ways to run windows apps in ubuntu, if that is what you want. | 11:25 |
| Jazman_brewer | forget wmp 11 its crap i use win amp in win | 11:25 |
| Carbonflux | when you take what out name1 ? | 11:25 |
| Jazman_brewer | but will try amarok | 11:25 |
| Carbonflux | name1, what does wmp11 mean ? | 11:25 |
| d_avid | amarok is cool | 11:25 |
| name1 | im talking about my wireless card itsa wmp11 | 11:25 |
| Carbonflux | lol | 11:25 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: I haven't tried Amarok in Gnome, but it is simply a fantastic music player. | 11:26 |
| Carbonflux | name1, you got everyone talking about media players heh ;) | 11:26 |
| nainef | anyone else having slow responses from google? | 11:26 |
| venil | hi, how do i add dns lookup ip on ubuntu server?? | 11:26 |
| name1 | sorry. | 11:26 |
| DistroJockey | end-user, I understand. I use KDE now and then but keep coming back to Gnome. | 11:26 |
| Jazman_brewer | well i d/l tomorrow when my isp wont shap me | 11:26 |
| Carbonflux | name1, nothing to be sorry about, its just a funny thing about jargon, I don't know much about wireless but someone else around here might :) | 11:26 |
| d_avid | kde has more options... but you have to know more about it.. be more gentile :) | 11:26 |
| Jazman_brewer | gnome or kde which is better | 11:27 |
| name1 | so my wireless card, wmp11 stops the load process when I am trying to boot. | 11:27 |
| end-user | DistroJockey: this may be cliche, but it is such a Zen desktop. Clean, direct. I really love the look | 11:27 |
| Jazman_brewer | for a windows user | 11:27 |
| Carbonflux | kde4 seems kind of good looking tho | 11:27 |
| d_avid | gnome is more easy I think... | 11:27 |
| Jazman_brewer | may have to put on kubuntu | 11:27 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, KDE is more Windows like :) | 11:27 |
| name1 | anyone have any ideas? or should I just buy a diff wireless card | 11:27 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: oops - yeah, what DistroJockey said :) | 11:28 |
| lgierth | Jazman_brewer, d_avid, cd->dvd seems to work, thanks | 11:28 |
| Jazman_brewer | well i may to get kubuntoo | 11:28 |
| Carbonflux | name1, there has to be a reason, did you try searching the ubuntu forums ? | 11:28 |
| DistroJockey | :) | 11:28 |

| olaff | lo all, just need some advice, i have gutsy running on this machine, i want to upgrade to hardy, but i'd like to format my current partion and install over the top. Id like to reinstall rather than upgrade, but id quite like my user settings and documents to be saved. Whats the best way to do this?? thanks guys | 11:28 |
| Carbonflux | name1, there is a dir called /var/log | 11:28 |
| DistroJockey | I'd advise against KDE4 though (for now) | 11:28 |
| au_ | how can i report bug in alsamixer? | 11:28 |
| au_ | how can i report bug in gnome-alsamixer? | 11:28 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: I will say this, though, the simplified interface of GNOME might be a nice introduction for a bit, to Linux, and make you appreciate some of the extra settings available in KDE | 11:29 |

| Jazman_brewer | ok will try kubuntu latter can have it just boot of cd to try it | 11:30 |
| Carbonflux | name1, those logs should at least tell you how its failing once you get used to reading them, its not a good solution but there should be a message in one them when it fails and that should give you clue at least where to start | 11:30 |
| andres | inertial: xen (only paravirtualized guests), virtualbox, vmware | 11:30 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: Exactly - I wish I'd sampled both a little more. CD's are cheap - heck, might even want to give Xubuntu a spin | 11:30 |

| inertial | andres: i was under the impression that VT was what paravirtualisation was implemented with.. but i might have it backwards.. | 11:31 |
| DistroJockey | Jazman_brewer, you can always use sudo tasksel to install other WM's/Desktop environments | 11:31 |

| Uranellus | hello, I'm having problems connecting a secondary display to my notebook .. while cloning works find, expanding the display is not possible. I had this problem before with opensuse .. the reason is easily seen when looking at the output of xrandr: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1680 ... I used to get around this by adding Virtual 3360 1680 to my xorg.conf .. so I tried doing so, adding that line to the Screen se | 11:32 |
| venil | how do i add dns ip address?? command line | 11:32 |
| end-user | Jazman_brewer: sudo stands for "superuser do" it will prompt you for your password afterwords. | 11:32 |
| andres | inertial: but kvm works only with paravirtualization support | 11:32 |
| end-user | i think | 11:32 |
| Jazman_brewer | well this is new too me i havent used a dos base sytem for over 10 years | 11:32 |
| DistroJockey | marcozzzzz, what error do you get? | 11:32 |
| end-user | ...thats what it means | 11:32 |
| marcozzzzz | I've read that i need to edit /etc/hosts file, but I need the permission | 11:32 |
| Jazman_brewer | is k3m any good | 11:32 |

| |atle| | Uplink: and last the remaining as one and mount it as home | 12:15 |

| DistroJockey | lucad, how much RAM do you have? | 12:17 |
| Slart | knoeki: and you were able to use the binary drivers before? | 12:17 |
| |atle| | Uplink: the last one also logical | 12:17 |
| lucad | 4gb | 12:17 |
| lucad | :D | 12:17 |
| wizz1 | knoeki, i know how to edit,but i dont know where should i edit to make 85hz available | 12:17 |
| DistroJockey | lucad, stick with 32 bit (my opinion) | 12:17 |
| rumpel | @wizzl had same problem some minutes ago... edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf on section Monitor | 12:18 |
| ubottu | rumpel: Error: "wizzl" is not a valid command. | 12:18 |
| knoeki | Slart: yup. last time I did a distro upgrade I had the same issues, but then I installed Gentoo to be over with all the troubles | 12:18 |
| lucad | maybe i'll think about it | 12:18 |
| immesys | how do I make valgrind ignore all errors in a particular library? (fglrx) | 12:18 |

| Uplink | |atle|: I have 6464 space left... -logical -6465 -beginning -ext3 -mount point "/home" | 12:18 |
| rumpel | wizzl and add lines from the monitor specifications like ModeLine "640x480@60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync | 12:18 |
| |atle| | Uplink: yes | 12:18 |
| DistroJockey | lucad, will save you alot of issues | 12:18 |
| lucad | i don't get why opera wont | 12:18 |
| rumpel | but dont ask me, where i got em ^ | 12:18 |

| marco | compiz --replace: Checking for Xgl: not present. | 12:19 |
| |atle| | Uplink: and you need to tick in the format boxes for the /home and / | 12:19 |
| wizz1 | knoeki, i only see "VertRefresh50-160" on the monitor section | 12:19 |
| lucad | ngry | 12:19 |

| digital00 | when i try to regulate the volume system it tells me "there's no Gstreamer plugin or device for regulating the volume"..which packages do i have to install? | 12:19 |
| Uplink | |atle|: what about swap? | 12:20 |
| Slart | knoeki: mm.. I had the same thing happen to me when I upgraded to gutsy.. can't remember what I did to fix it..I now use the binary driver from nvidias site.. that works for me.. if I were in your place I'd uninstall everything nvidia-related using apt-get --purge .. and then download and install the driver from nvidia | 12:20 |
| lucad | again with ubuntu hardy 64 and opera 9.50b2 64: how can i stream wmv? is there any way to use java? | 12:20 |
| wizz1 | LuitvD, just use sudo su | 12:20 |
| rumpel | hardy has busted my mounted drives... entries in /dev/ for hda1... a.s.o. are missing. Any ideas? | 12:20 |
| |atle| | Uplink: do you only have two partitions | 12:20 |
| knoeki | Slart: ok. | 12:20 |
| wizz1 | then you wont need to use sudo for every command | 12:20 |
| LuitvD | wizz1: no, I just want access rights without sudo | 12:20 |
| moon` | alright, I'm still unclear on the various version of ubuntu. Say I want to download vlc and my options are gutsy, feisty, and edgy which one should I go with if I'm using hardy? | 12:20 |
| moon` | or I guess all the various names is what I'm unclear on | 12:20 |
| wizz1 | moon`, i think gutsy would be best | 12:21 |
| Slart | knoeki: but then you'll break the updating you usually get by using apt-get.. and I don't know how well the nvidia drivers work on hardy.. I'm running gutsy myself | 12:21 |
| wizz1 | but thats only what i think | 12:21 |
| tom` | Anyone know if the emacs-snapshot package in 8.04 includes the new font backend? | 12:21 |
| |atle| | Uplink: if so you need to undo changes and start over | 12:21 |

| marco | DistroJockey: compiz --replace: Checking for Xgl: not present. | 12:25 |
| wizz1 | tau, ubuntu is larger then 2gb,i guess | 12:25 |
| laeg | when i try to install the theme GDM-CleanLinux.tar.gz to preferences > appearance > theme i get an error telling me it is not a valid theme. what am i doing wrong? | 12:25 |

| LuitvD | how do I get just as much rights on USB devices as root? | 12:25 |
| wobx | Fogel1497: i upgraded to hardy and all my pata devices are suddenly sata/scsi | 12:25 |
| DistroJockey | marco, what video card have yo got? | 12:26 |
| wobx | Fogel1497: i can't even access my dvd drive anymore | 12:26 |

| alado2 | can i somehow integrate a clock and some weather info on my desktop? If anybody has been using DSL they have something like that | 12:26 |
| wobx | Fogel1497: right | 12:26 |
| laeg | sharkp: because video hardware is autodetected in hardy | 12:26 |
| knoeki | hahaha, how typical. of course I am not able to select my video card on the nvidia site. of course not. that would make it too easy, wouldn't it? O.o | 12:27 |
| babolat | I've clean-installed Hardy on my primary HD a couple of weeks ago. Gutsy was on the slave. Now that I reformatted that slave, I want Gutsy gone from grub.. is it safe to just to delete the lines pertaining to Gutsy in the menu.lst file? | 12:27 |
| wizz1 | sharkp, if you're with nvidia,sudo nvidia-xconfig | 12:27 |
| sharkp | laeg: but it is BADLY autodetected | 12:27 |
| wizz1 | that way you could edit | 12:27 |
| marco | DistroJockey: ati | 12:27 |
| sharkp | I've an ATI... -.-" | 12:27 |
| Slart | alado2: there are some small desktop apps.. I think they are called screenlets.. google for it | 12:27 |
| wobx | Fogel1497: any idea so far | 12:27 |
| Fogel1497 | I'm sorry wobx i've got to get to work. That is very strange. | 12:27 |
| DistroJockey | marco, what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 12:27 |
| |atle| | knoeki: have you tried envy | 12:27 |
| Fogel1497 | Only thing I can think of is a new clean install, but that may not be feasible or convenient for you, sorry. | 12:28 |
| LuitvD | I want wine to have special access rights to a USB device, and wine won't (and shouldn't be) run with sudo. How do I get root access to USB devices as a user, without using sudo? | 12:28 |
| |atle| | !envy | knoeki: | 12:28 |
| ubottu | knoeki:: 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 » | 12:28 |
| wobx | foolano: yep | 12:28 |
| alado2 | <Slart>, ah! thats it, many thnx | 12:28 |

| sparkyy | Does evolution data server need to be running? Its using like 50%-100%cpu at startup until I shut it | 12:30 |
| case_ | azuki, i don't what is the more common, but the more secure is to not use WEP but WPA(2 if available) | 12:30 |

| digital00 | wizz1: i'm installing ut2004..and i have to change cdrom about 5 times..but each time it tells me "Busy device - No eject" | 12:31 |
| knoeki | because killing X does not work, X will just respawn. not even removing /tmp/.X0-lock helps... o.O | 12:31 |

| DistroJockey | |atle|, I take it you are refering to upgrading? | 12:32 |
| marco | DistroJockey: yes, upgrade. this is a compiz echo http://paste.ubuntu.com/8901/plain/ | 12:32 |

| laeg | shashi: is it just the resolution? you can edit first by making a backup 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak' and then by editing it 'sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf' | i suggest you follow the guides on editing it rather than manual trial and error. you need to restart x afterwards ctrl-alt-backspace | 12:35 |

| |atle| | Uplink: that should be your user name | 12:41 |

| conathan | there we go. one line, slightly broken grammer. not bad | 12:41 |
| roxahris | For some reason, when I get disconnected to my WEP network, I cannot reconnect unless I reboot. | 12:42 |
| IdleOne | sparkyy: you can remove it. it will also remove a package called ubuntu-desktop that package is not necessary but it is suggested you re-install it | 12:42 |

I click the mp3 to play, it looks like it's going to play and it just sits there.... and I'm trying to listen to Pandora online too, to see if its banshee or sound in general, and nope, no sound... I've had this hardy install for almost a week now.. never had the problem. what gives... O.o | 12:42 |

| TheCobra | found a driver, but it only works on the 7.10 | 13:16 |
| ghabit | Hello. Help me please - I need to find way to control in-&-out internet traffic. | 13:16 |
| Lamego | pulseaudio it's at a lower level, its used by alsa and oss | 13:17 |
| conathan | TheCobra: what about openchrome? | 13:17 |
| TheCobra | oh tried unichrome | 13:17 |
| Take0n | how do I do that? :\ | 13:17 |
| bladerunne1 | Lamego: it doesn't do what it says on the tin for me and I can't have 2 apps running using audio at the same time with nForce onboard audio | 13:17 |
| bladerunne1 | Lamego: let alone control them individually | 13:17 |
| microwaver | Is it impossible to Wine WOW next to the xserver-xgl? | 13:18 |
| conathan | TheCobra: there was a chrome page on the ubuntu wiki (didn't help for 7.10 for my issue) | 13:18 |
| erUSUL | Lamego: quite the oposite pulseaudio is a server that uses alsa and sits on top of it... it has to offer alñsa and oss emulation for apps that are not ready for pulseaudio/esd/arts (for which it provides emulation too) | 13:18 |
| adriaan | is there any way to get pulseaudio to work with wine, by the way? | 13:19 |
| Keule | hi there! does anybody use a terratec hybrid xs with hardy? | 13:19 |
| adriaan | I had to set everything to alsa to get sound in wine | 13:19 |
| Lamego | erUSUL, ops, from my readings I got the idea it was the way around, thanks for the correction :) | 13:19 |
| Keule | i cant compile..... | 13:19 |
| guilee | hi | 13:19 |
| moon` | hey what's the name of that prog that lets you use msn and aim in unison? | 13:19 |
| adriaan | pidgin? | 13:19 |
| * bladerunne1 thinks pulseaudio is pretty fresh off the vine ;0) we'll all learn soon !!! | 13:19 | |
| Keule | i tryed it with this german wiki http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/em28xx | 13:19 |
| erUSUL | Lamego: no problem; pulse audio is a sound server like esd or arts (or the ones used in Mac OSX and vista) | 13:19 |
| moon` | jah, thanks adriaan | 13:19 |
| suriro | Take0n: fiddle with system>pref.s>sound ,if not already. Also mixer settings... | 13:20 |
| bladerunne1 | erUSUL: esd and arts are used in osx and vista???? | 13:20 |
| Take0n | I changed everything to ALSA I tested all of them.. when I hit the "test" button it sounds nice but when I play a video file or mp3 or youtube video etc | 13:20 |
| Take0n | it's not | 13:20 |
| magnetron | bladerunne1: no, that's why he didn't say that | 13:20 |
| erUSUL | bladerunne1: no they both use sound servers pulseaudio and esd and arts are sound servers too | 13:20 |
| thrope | can anyone explain this to me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8913/ why is the modified path not being picked up when I source .bash_profile? | 13:21 |

| Take0n | okay just a second do I have to restart each time I change the settings? | 13:22 |
| thrope | magnetron: no, why should I need to - I manually sourced the file | 13:22 |
| Uplink | why i cant find from 7.04 to 8.04 ???? | 13:22 |

| wobx | kernel is faulty in hardy heron | 13:23 |
| jrib | Uplink: it's not possible. You need to go to 7.10 first, then to 8.04. You are better off with a fresh install if 7.04 is also fresh | 13:23 |
| moon` | hey how do you do dns look ups in irssi? | 13:23 |

| ChaosTheory^ | Thanks everyone. =) | 13:24 |
| magnetron | !ask | Keule | 13:24 |
| ubottu | Keule: 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. :-) | 13:24 |
| Take0n | bladerunne1, lucy you may I join you? :P | 13:24 |
| Uplink | Be sure that you have all updates applied to Ubuntu 7.04 before you upgrade. | 13:24 |
| thrope | unop: it could be any file and that should work | 13:24 |
| Take0n | lucky* | 13:24 |
| Uplink | what does that mean? :| | 13:24 |
| hap | ChaosTheory^: do you gave the same problem than I, no more synaptic mouse ? | 13:24 |
| Lamego | magnetron, system wide paths should be set at /etc/environment | 13:25 |
| Keule | magnetron: i did that wiki (germen) http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/em28xx | 13:25 |

I`d added it to /etc/modules and is not black listed in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Even tried to load it via rc.local by adding "modprobe b44" in the script. But no matter what I do, I can`t seem to make it work. And having to manually load it each time is rather frustrating. Is the any other solut | 13:29 |

| ubottu | kate_mins: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:44 |
| magnetron | kate_mins: i would recommend 7z or bz2. | 13:44 |
| unop | kate_mins, you can use a combination of tar/bzip2 and split | 13:44 |
| jrib | kate_mins: tar, gzip, bzip2, split | 13:44 |

| AudioSenseCD | hmm got it | 14:04 |
| AudioSenseCD | thx | 14:04 |

| cccharles | IdleOne: it does indeed. not normally for as long as this, though. thanks for the suggestion. | 14:05 |
| rhorstkoetter | bazhang: sorry, I didn't get the question? | 14:05 |
| babolat | ludwi1: in terminal, you'd see if there are errors when starting and running compiz... is it running now? | 14:05 |
| bazhang | rhorstkoetter: you can scroll up? | 14:05 |
| frostburn | athreya, i just read your question, what activities are you trying to do across the crossover cable, do both pcs have ips, can they ping each other, can they nmap each other, is the traffic being dropped by one side and not the other, does wireshark look the same on either end? | 14:05 |
| AudioSenseCD | i think gutsy is the stable distro | 14:05 |
| chasity | How do i make it where 2 computers using ubuntu can see each other on a network. | 14:05 |
| rhorstkoetter | bazhang: I'm sorry, lost in translation - the error is file is corrupt | 14:06 |
| microwaver | AudioSenseCD, I'm going to wait for the 8.10 version I think | 14:06 |
| frostburn | AudioSenseCD, 3 years support on heron, not so much for gutsy | 14:06 |
| vecKt | what should i do? i've got an ati radeon,.. i've installed some ATI drivers (that ubuntu suggested) but still scrolling in my browser is slow, movies play slow, 3D programs are very slow...? on ATI webpage there are only some old version of drivers (for SUSE and stuff...)? | 14:06 |
| rhorstkoetter | bazhang: but it isn't | 14:06 |
| babolat | ludwi1: is FF the right size now? | 14:06 |
| pajamian | chasity: if they are on the same network and configured properly then they will see each other. | 14:06 |
| knmstrflx | bazhang: i updated to envyNG, installed the newest ATI driver, saw the message "this card IS supported" (you are correct) but after reboot i go into low res mode :( | 14:06 |
| ludwi1 | test | 14:06 |
| AzizLight | hi everybody | 14:06 |
| opuuss | now unistall kubuntu-desktop and default ubuntu-dekstop ?now ? | 14:07 |
| chasity | i dont know how to configure. | 14:07 |
| frostburn | opuuss, do you have a click path of how you got to that dialog? | 14:07 |
| Akii | How do I download a directory at the time through the terminal's FTP client? | 14:07 |
| jtravnick | chasity, if you get to work let me know | 14:07 |
| bazhang | rhorstkoetter: that is different from the bugs filed so far; you may wish to look them over howerer | 14:07 |
| ludwi1 | babolat: yea compiz is back up and FF seems to work so far. that was odd. just a second ago some windows froze on me. that's why i said test there. | 14:07 |
| knmstrflx | akii: generally the ftp server has a setting to allow/disallow copying of entire directories i believe. | 14:07 |

| pajamian | chasity: usually done by default. How about you give more detail of what your problem is? | 14:07 |
| bazhang | knmstrflx: you need to enable the driver now | 14:07 |
| IdleOne | cracka: good to hear. have fun | 14:08 |
| AzizLight | I installed ubuntu studio theme yesterday, and it replaced my ubuntu splash screen, my logon screen, the sounds, everything...is there a way to go back to the defaults? | 14:08 |
| test4_up | I'm not used to this xchat interface on hardy. the users list is a button, and that sounds a bit silly. | 14:08 |
| bullgard4 | What programs will use the configuration file ~.fonts.conf? | 14:08 |
| rhorstkoetter | bazhang: for sure I'll do this, but I guess it will not solve the problem :-D | 14:08 |
| test4_up | any way to get this into a sidepane or tab? | 14:08 |
| Akii | knmstrflx: OK. What else FTP client would you recommend? | 14:08 |
| chasity | I go to network and all i see is workgroup from my windows computer. I have nothing there for my Linux box on there...my network has 2 linux boxes and a windows...I hvae Not configured a network. on the linux box. | 14:08 |

| rhorstkoetter | bazhang: I had a look in the forums and it seems that's a common error since edgy times | 14:08 |
| ludwi1 | babolat: yea. thanks | 14:09 |
| drmarwat | hello | 14:09 |
| bazhang | rhorstkoetter: but different from the one you are experiecning | 14:09 |
| knmstrflx | akii: client is mostly a matter of preference, I use filezilla on windows where I'm able to drag drop directories via gui. | 14:09 |
| rhorstkoetter | bazhang: but nobody has a solution unfortunately. the beta of 804 instals just fine with the same drive | 14:09 |
| pajamian | chasity: you need to share something on the ubuntu box for it to appear on the network. | 14:09 |

| s3phiroth | hi there. i just upgraded my work machine from gutsy to hardy which is a fairly simple pc that usually doesn't have any problems with ubuntu (integraded intel graphics and such). i used to have a resolution of 1280x1024 but not it's at 1024x768 and even if i change it in the screen resolution utility it's ignored. i tried setting the modeline in my xorg.conf but it's not helping either. what could be the problem ? | 14:14 |
| rhorstkoetter | ubottu: thanks | 14:14 |
| ubottu | rhorstkoetter: Error: "thanks" is not a valid command. | 14:14 |
| egoleo | ok | 14:14 |

| BonezAU | Hi, I am having a huge problem with both firefox and swiftfox and general system slowness. Every time I load a web site, the window starts to grey out as if the program is freezing up and then it comes back again after about 10 seconds. It's really annoying. I am running Hardy with the latest updates. Any suggestions? Thanks | 14:14 |

| Kcaj | but I get an unable toi resolve host error | 14:16 |
| Kcaj | Although this is the only time Samba has ever worked for me :( | 14:16 |
| Kcaj | so I'm reluctant to change any settings | 14:16 |
| Kcaj | What should I do? | 14:16 |
| kelvin911 | hwo to check what font my OS is using? | 14:16 |
| Kcaj | Look at the screen | 14:16 |
| krim | kelvin911: System -> Appearance I think | 14:16 |
| v0lksman | kelvin911: System -> Appearance | 14:16 |
| kelvin911 | is ur font san? | 14:17 |
| kelvin911 | can u guys check? | 14:17 |
| bazhang | kelvin911: systme appearances fonts | 14:17 |
| sisif | Is there any other bloody way to load a module at boot time, EXCEPT /etc/modules ? | 14:17 |
| kelvin911 | what font gutsy uses? | 14:17 |
| kelvin911 | and what font hardy uses? | 14:17 |
| krim | kelvin911: sans, sans, sans, sans bold, monospace | 14:17 |
| sisif | Sans | 14:17 |
| bazhang | kelvin911: take a look please | 14:17 |
| v0lksman | sisif: put the load line in rc.local 'modprobe <module>' but /etc/modules is the best way | 14:17 |
| sisif | v0lksman: I tried both. And none is working :( | 14:18 |
| kelvin911 | please tak a look guys http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3fj4.png | 14:18 |
| v0lksman | then something else is wrong.... | 14:18 |
| kelvin911 | my font setting didnt change but the font becomes so thick and ugly | 14:19 |
| kelvin911 | after upgrade to hardy | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sisif, if rc.local isent loading them.. then theres somthing seriously wrong. | 14:19 |
| sisif | v0lksman: yup. And I can`t figure out what. | 14:19 |
| krim | kelvin911: Where? Everywhere? | 14:19 |
| kelvin911 | in general | 14:19 |
| sisif | Dr_Willis: all worked fine until updating from 7.10 to 8.04 | 14:19 |
| v0lksman | sisif: you can load it manually once the machine is up? | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sisif, try loading them manually, and check the output of 'dmesg' for any error messages. | 14:19 |
| ludwi1 | is there anything special to get compiz to work with an ATI vcard? i could never understand and get why i can't get it to work on my other machine | 14:19 |
| Kcaj | What should Host name: be on my machine? | 14:19 |
| babolat | kelvin911: hav u tried changing the Appearance settings? | 14:19 |
| kelvin911 | specially in opera becausei uses opera all the time i can see the different | 14:19 |
| Kcaj | I tried localhost and a made up one, neither work | 14:19 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, xserver-xgl always helped me | 14:20 |
| sisif | v0lksman, Dr_Willis : I can load it manually. | 14:20 |
| kelvin911 | i did change the appearance | 14:20 |
| Kcaj | It tried to resolve them when I sudo | 14:20 |
| Kcaj | so I can't sudo | 14:20 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, on both my ati driven machines. | 14:20 |
| v0lksman | sisif: what module? | 14:20 |
| krim | kelvin911: text in terminal looked a bit fuzzy and thick to be but the rest is fine after my upgrade (yesterday). In Firefox some sites had really crappy text but I went into preferences and changed so sites can't set their own fonts. | 14:20 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: are you gettinga hostname name resolve error with sudio | 14:20 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: that's in the package manager? | 14:20 |
| ikonia | sudo | 14:20 |
| sisif | v0lksman: b44 (for broadcom 44100 ethernet wired) | 14:20 |

| cgentry72 | i deleted my windows partition and formated it as ext3 but now i don't have access to it could someone suggest anything | 14:21 |
| Kcaj | I just changed it to localhost and logged out/back in | 14:21 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, if you open a terminal and then do sudo-apt get install xserver-xgl | 14:21 |
| Kcaj | so gimme a sec | 14:21 |
| Pitel_laptop | I just wanted to upgrade my desktop machine from gutsy to hardy... I did it by update manager. It downloaded all packages, and rigth after the installation should start, it failed. Any idea how to do the upgrade? I did it on my laptop a few days ago and everytjing went fine. | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: you need to boot into "recovery" shell mode, and edit /etc/hosts to include your hostname mapped to a local address, eg: 127.0.1.1 | 14:21 |
| sisif | v0lksman: ? | 14:21 |
| Kcaj | I can't just change it to localhost? ;D | 14:21 |
| kelvin911 | krim: so u have the same thick font problem? | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: sure, that works too | 14:21 |
| babolat | cgentry72: does it show in the Computer? | 14:21 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: found it already. it's installing now. | 14:21 |

| ikonia | Kcaj: you can't do it now, as your not root | 14:22 |
| babolat | cgentry72: and are you able to mount it? | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: you can't use root until you fix this | 14:22 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, yes | 14:22 |
| Kcaj | So what do I do now? | 14:22 |
| sisif | v0lksman: Yeah. I get the same feeling | 14:22 |
| krim | kelvin911: Only in terminal. But I'm getting used to it now. Which rendering option do you have in system -> appearance -> font ? Try the other ones and see if it improves. | 14:22 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, you also have System > Preferences >Advanced Desktop Settings? | 14:22 |
| Kcaj | I can't boot in to recovery | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: exactly what I told you | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: why can't you boot into recovery ? | 14:22 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: actually it's trying to download. lol it's not downloading. just frozen | 14:22 |
| babolat | cgentry72: what does the Permissions tab tell you? | 14:22 |
| Kcaj | I need a disk for that? | 14:22 |
| kelvin911 | krim: no improvement at all | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: no you don't | 14:22 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, weird | 14:22 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, let me check one sec | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: it is an option on the grub menu | 14:22 |
| Kcaj | Okay | 14:22 |
| Kcaj | then how do it? Okay | 14:22 |
| Kcaj | so I go there, and, I'll tell you what happens next | 14:23 |
| v0lksman | sisif: did you check /var/log/syslog for errors after a boot? or check dmesg output? | 14:23 |

| ikonia | Kcaj: read up | 14:23 |
| microwaver | zionpsyfer, also the minimum graphics menu? | 14:23 |
| sisif | v0lksman: dmesg shows nothing. Let me see in syslog | 14:23 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: yea i tried to turn it on normaly. it just says that i need composite exentiosn | 14:23 |
| krim | kelvin911: Hm, you could try switching font but I *think* the fonts used in Hardy are the same as Gutsy. | 14:23 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, sorry owner is root | 14:23 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: what part of my explination was not clear, and I'll clarify it for you | 14:24 |
| babolat | cgentry: odd.. | 14:24 |
| Kcaj | I'm in Regrubery mode | 14:24 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, and after the installation of xserver ? | 14:24 |
| zionpsyfer | microwaver: Indeed, I've tried editing the boot line to nosplash single as well. | 14:24 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: odd says an error occured. it failed to fetch it | 14:24 |
| babolat | cgentry72: if it's root, then it ought to work.. | 14:24 |
| Kcaj | I edit /etc/hosts and make make it look pretty by drawing ASCII LOLCATS | 14:24 |
| Kcaj | and hope my system lets me sudo | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: if you want to mess around, do it with someone else | 14:24 |
| microwaver | zionpsyfer, ah, that was my solution to your problem... : | 14:24 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: I'm offering you support for our OS | 14:24 |
| kelvin911 | krim: but why font become so much uglier than gutsy? | 14:24 |
| babolat | cgentry72: and i assume you are unable to change that.. | 14:24 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, try again | 14:24 |
| ludwi1 | mircrowaver: whenever i try to turn on compiz it says that composite crap | 14:24 |

| sisif | v0lksman: this is what I get in syslog upon modprobing the module: "Apr 30 16:24:39 Sisif kernel: [ 6032.212285] eth0: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100BaseT Ethernet 00:19:b9:85:80:f6" | 14:25 |
| v0lksman | shally87: no | 14:25 |
| Kcaj | The best text editor ever | 14:25 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, initially when i clicked it, it asked for my password but as my username not root | 14:25 |
| krim | kelvin911: I have no idea, I tried asking about my slightly fuzzy text in Terminal last night but no one replied. | 14:25 |
| Kinetic | shally87 no | 14:25 |
| Kcaj | ANyway my /etc/hosts looks like: | 14:25 |
| genii | shally87: unix <> linux | 14:25 |
| microwaver | zionpsyfer, it's just i've had the same problem. and after fixing the size of my splashscreen everything went fluently | 14:25 |
| ikonia | shally87: unix is not linux, linux and it's tools are based on a unix standard though | 14:25 |
| microwaver | shally87, no :) | 14:25 |
| shally87 | v0lksman: then where to download apache for linux? | 14:25 |
| Kcaj | 127.0.0.1 = localhost.(companyname) and 127.0.1.1 = localhost.(companyname) | 14:25 |
| luinfana | unix != linux | 14:25 |
| Kinetic | both are posix standard | 14:25 |
| Kcaj | this is good, right? | 14:25 |
| ikonia | shally87: it's in the synaptic package manager | 14:25 |
| v0lksman | shally87: apt-get install apache2 | 14:25 |
| babolat | cgentry72: u sure it's ext3? coz i had that problem once but it was when i turned my HD to ntfs.... | 14:26 |
| Kcaj | Do not use apt-get | 14:26 |
| kelvin911 | krim: maybe no one uses hardy | 14:26 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: no, I told you, your hostname needs to be in the /etc/host file | 14:26 |
| knmstrflx | bazhang: you said "enable the driver" after trying and failing now i ask how do i enable the driver? :) | 14:26 |
| Parsi | hi, i installed gdb-avr, but i dunno how to run it! who can help me? | 14:26 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, let me double check | 14:26 |
| Andeh | Hi guys. Whats the command that probes and tells you what video card you have? Im on friends pc lol | 14:26 |
| Kcaj | Oh, ok | 14:26 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: why can you not use apt-get ? | 14:26 |
| shally87 | owh | 14:26 |
| shally87 | ok.. | 14:26 |
| TimbisLopez | use xampp | 14:26 |
| Kcaj | It smells of elderberries | 14:26 |
| shally87 | thanks guys | 14:26 |

| ikonia | Kcaj: PLEASE stop messing around and offering silly advice | 14:26 |
| sisif | Dr_Willis: this is what I get in syslog upon modprobing the module: "Apr 30 16:24:39 Sisif kernel: [ 6032.212285] eth0: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100BaseT Ethernet 00:19:b9:85:80:f6" | 14:26 |
| v0lksman | sisif: do you get that on boot? | 14:26 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, yes ext3 | 14:26 |
| Kcaj | There is NOTHING in /etc/host | 14:26 |
| === my is now known as my_lap_is_hot | ||
| ikonia | Kcaj: /etc/hosts | 14:26 |
| microwaver | shally87, in 1990 or something Linus Thorvalds created his own Unix based OS. --> Linux | 14:26 |
| Kcaj | I was just in /etchosts | 14:26 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: yes, I know | 14:27 |
| Kcaj | <ikonia> Kcaj: no, I told you, your hostname needs to be in the /etc/host file | 14:27 |
| hooer | allo | 14:27 |
| krim | kelvin911: I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones :) But you could try and ask in the forums. IRC is good if you need help fast but sometimes it's easier to get an answer in the forums. Good luck | 14:27 |
| babolat | cgentry72: not sure if this will work, but try restarting your PC.. | 14:27 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: that was a typo, I said earlier /etc/hosts to you | 14:27 |
| LinuxNIT-II | hey guys, i did a upgrade from gusty to hardy and now compiz wont start... i get this. http://pastebin.ca/1002869 any idea how to fix it? | 14:27 |
| sisif | v0lksman: noup. I just "modprobe -r b44 && modprobe b44" now | 14:27 |
| Kcaj | I even told you what my /etc/hosts loks like inside | 14:27 |
| hooer | i have a quick Q before i reboot, potentially screwing my system :p | 14:27 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: i still can't get it even with terminal.. | 14:27 |
| Kcaj | and then you told me to go to /etc/host lol like I was in the wrong place :( | 14:27 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, i will but i already did after i deleted windows, formatted the partition and changed grub | 14:27 |
| Andeh | hi, whats the command that tells you what video card you have"? im trying to fix screen res | 14:27 |
| luinfana | I've got a question about a Realtek 8139 ethernet card...nothing on the forums has helped | 14:28 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: what is your machine hostname ? | 14:28 |
| babolat | cgentry72: oh... then i'm stumped.. sorry | 14:28 |
| Kcaj | I can just make 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 both localhost.(companyname) ? | 14:28 |
| bazhang | knmstrflx: what does hardware drivers show is in use? | 14:28 |
| luinfana | anyone have any experience with that? | 14:28 |
| hooer | I swapped out a drive in a RAID1 array. it's all synched fine, but i was worried about the MBR. So i ran LILO. Is that the right thing to do? | 14:28 |
| zionpsyfer | microwaver: I have to assume it's puking on some piece of hardware. If I could at least jump to another term via CTRL+ALT+F#, which ever spews the kernel messages.... I could unplug / disable it. Guess it's time to experiment. ;) | 14:28 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, should root be the only one that can access it? | 14:28 |
| Kcaj | I don't really care as long as there is no way it can conflict or anything, can I just enter localhost.(companyname) for both the 127 ones? | 14:28 |
| genii | Andeh: Usually something like: lspci | grep VGA | 14:28 |
| ikonia | hooer: why ar eyou using lilo ? | 14:28 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, have you tried synaptic? | 14:28 |
| jk_ | Andeh, gksu displayconfig-gtk and choose the correct monitor | 14:28 |
| hooer | yep | 14:28 |
| ikonia | hooer: why are you using lilo ? | 14:28 |
| jk_ | how do i fix this annoying invisible trash bin i am having | 14:28 |
| knmstrflx | bazhang: ati accellerated gfx driver in use. although i've unchecked that, reinstalled, rechecked it, and still fails | 14:28 |
| ikonia | hooer: is there a reason | 14:28 |
| microwaver | zionpsyfer, can't you boot in text mode. | 14:28 |
| pajamian | luinfana: that's an old card, yes, but not in ubuntu. I have had it working in old linux boxes for ages, though. | 14:28 |
| hooer | why? it came with server | 14:28 |
| babolat | cgentry72: no.. when it's owned by root, you should be able to write to it.. | 14:28 |
| microwaver | zionpsyfer, and after that enable graphics mode? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | hooer: lilo is not the default boot loader for ubuntu server | 14:29 |
| hooer | i installed 8.0.4 server and that was the default | 14:29 |
| Andeh | thanks jk_ | 14:29 |
| dsch04 | Is there a firewall tool in 8.04? | 14:29 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: yea twice | 14:29 |
| ikonia | hooer: lilo is not the default | 14:29 |
| Pici | !firewall > dsch04 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 14:29 |
| hooer | orly? well i dont know where it came from :/ | 14:29 |
| jk_ | dsch04, firestarter | 14:29 |
| microwaver | ludwil do you have the universal repositories enabled? | 14:29 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, maybe i'm confused but only if i login as root right? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | hooer: thats quite worrying | 14:29 |
| jk_ | how do i fix this annoying invisible trash bin i am having | 14:29 |
| hooer | aye! | 14:29 |
| luinfana | pajamian: exactly, exactly. It works on like Mandrake and Slackware but anything Debian has trouble with it (Knoppix, etc) | 14:29 |
| luinfana | do we know why? | 14:29 |
| Kcaj | I love how fast Ubuntu restarts | 14:29 |
| zionpsyfer | microwaver: Nay, any and all menu items I select, even modifying the boot line for single.. all variations hard lock as soon as I try to boot | 14:29 |
| sisif | v0lksman: do you want me to pastebin my syslog so you can take a look there? I`m kinda of a noob to linux and I`m not sure what to look for. | 14:29 |
| Kcaj | total time from POST to like desktop is under 1 minute | 14:30 |
| pajamian | luinfana: sorry, i don't. I would have expected it to "just work". | 14:30 |
| microwaver | zionpsyfer, even thought about a faulti live cd? | 14:30 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: no clue what or where it is lol i'm still kinda newbish to ubuntu still. | 14:30 |
| eross | what is skype and why do i want to make calls over the internet when I already have a phone that is plugged into my broadband modem card, eg. my regular phone line? | 14:30 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, me to :) but i'll try and guide you through | 14:30 |
| hooer | but regardless of that.... did i do the right thing running Lilo? did that do something to the MBR so that both drives have it now? | 14:30 |
| luinfana | pajamian: yeah, me too...it's a shame because it's the only thing keeping me from installing Ubuntu on this computer...Windows has slowed to an unusable crawl | 14:30 |
| Keule | how can i get my terratec hybrid xs started with hardy? | 14:30 |
| ikonia | eross: thats a question you need to ask your self, not ubuntu support | 14:30 |
| babolat | cgentry72: no need to log in as root if i'm not mistaken.. if your user has sufficient priveleges it should work | 14:30 |
| pajamian | luinfana: good luck | 14:30 |
| dsch04 | Nothing built in to Ubuntu like the Fedora system-config-securitylevel tool ? | 14:30 |
| ikonia | hooer: no, you didn't do the right thing running lilo | 14:30 |
| luinfana | pajamian: eh, thanks | 14:31 |
| hooer | oh :/ | 14:31 |
| zionpsyfer | microwaver: I have, but I've installed two other systems with this cd, and it passes the test when run from my laptop. tried a diff cdrom drive in the comp giving me trouble just in case. | 14:31 |
| ikonia | hooer: I'm worried why your machien is using lilo | 14:31 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, ok well i'll see what i can do thanks though for trying | 14:31 |
| knmstrflx | eross: skype chat has the ability to encrypt, unlike other commercial chat clients! | 14:31 |
| Pici | hooer: Are you sure you aren't using Grub and confusing it with lilo? | 14:31 |
| gateau | !fr | 14:31 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, system, administration > softwaresources. click on that | 14:31 |
| hooer | are you certain it isnt default for server? | 14:31 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 14:31 |
| ikonia | hooer: %150 | 14:31 |
| hooer | well i have a lilo.conf | 14:31 |
| hooer | and it has the right info | 14:31 |
| magnetron | eross: i strongly advice against using skype. there are other VOIP services that are better, as Ekiga with SIP | 14:31 |
| babolat | cgentry72: np | 14:31 |
| luinfana | anyone else know of anything I can try to force this Realtek card to work? | 14:31 |
| ikonia | hooer: show me uname -a please | 14:31 |

| ludwi1 | microwaver: what i have now is advanced desktop effects settins. and some kind of gforce and ati driver program.. forget the name of that driver program :P let me find it | 14:32 |
| ikonia | hooer: you have 2 choices, 1.) install grub 2.) attempt to progress using lilo | 14:32 |
| LinuxNIT-II | hey guys, i did a upgrade from gusty to hardy and now compiz wont start... i get this. http://pastebin.ca/1002869 any idea how to fix it? | 14:32 |

| Keule | how can i get my terratec hybrid xs started with hardy? | 14:32 |
| hooer | hmm :| | 14:32 |
| hooer | changing boot managers seems the risker option ey? | 14:33 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: think that's it. lol | 14:33 |
| ikonia | hooer: ok, thats fine | 14:33 |
| Andeh | okay, i got this. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] (rev 01) | 14:33 |

| ikonia | hooer: so you want to progress with lilo | 14:33 |
| ikonia | hooer: whats the current state of your disks | 14:33 |
| microwaver | did you check the software sources. if universal is enabled | 14:33 |
| bazhang | !binarydrivers | Andeh | 14:33 |
| ubottu | Andeh: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 14:33 |
| microwaver | ludwil, did you check the software sources. if universal is enabled otherwise you can't download xserver | 14:33 |

| Kcaj | webmin doesn't work on ubuntu, right? | 14:36 |
| Kcaj | but ubuntu has lynx? | 14:36 |
| Andeh | the ati driver howto says i need atleast radeon 9500. I have 9000. that ok? | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: webmin is not supported on ubuntu | 14:36 |
| bazhang | ebox Kcaj | 14:36 |
| hooer | just awnt to make sure the OS will boot even if 1 drive is failed in the RAID1 array | 14:36 |
| Kcaj | Is there an easy way to edit cron? | 14:36 |
| Kcaj | I only need it for cron jobs | 14:36 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, it's in thte first tab : Community-Maintained Open Source Software (universe) :) | 14:36 |
| BonezAU | Kcaj, webmin does work, it's just not supported. Yes lynx is available but not installed by default | 14:36 |
| Pici | Kcaj: crontab -e | 14:36 |
| Kcaj | I hate editing crontab manually | 14:36 |
| Kcaj | biggest headache ever | 14:36 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: i see it now. yea every one of them are clicked. | 14:37 |
| ikonia | hooer: ok, so lilo needs to be installed on both mbrs of the 2 disks and it needs to reference the /dev/md devices rather than /dev/sd$ in the config. I 'm not sure how lilo will deal with that | 14:37 |
| knmstrflx | kcaj: i had no trouble installing and configuring webmin in gutsy. | 14:37 |
| Kcaj | there is no kind of like crongui package I can get for Gnome? | 14:37 |
| v0lksman | Andeh: install envy and install the ATI driver using it | 14:37 |
| Kcaj | I'm using HH | 14:37 |
| hooer | at the moment it already references /dev/md0 in the config. | 14:37 |
| Pici | Kcaj: Have you looked in the repos at all? And pleaes don't use enter as punctuation. | 14:37 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, I don't really understand why you're not able to do sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl then | 14:37 |
| hooer | it was installed originally with 2 drives but one failed, i've swapped one out, just want to make sure the MBR is done too | 14:38 |
| BonezAU | Hi, i'm having major slowness problems with firefox and my computer in general. Running hardy - anyone know where I should start? It's running like a dog! | 14:38 |
| egoleo | guys how do i get mp3 and other codecs to work? | 14:38 |
| bazhang | Kcaj: apt-cache search cron | 14:38 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: i got no clue either. | 14:38 |
| Kcaj | I use Synaptics thxvrymuch | 14:38 |
| bazhang | egoleo: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:38 |
| sisif | v0lksman: there you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8928/ | 14:38 |
| ikonia | hooer: from the output of what you said, it looks like the mbr on the second disk has been updated | 14:38 |
| ludwi1 | let me try on this computer if i can get it. | 14:38 |
| luinfana | I'd realllllllllllly like to get this card working if anyone knows anything...it's driving me crazy how Windows works fine with it and Ubuntu fails | 14:38 |
| hooer | cool :p | 14:38 |
| BonezAU | egoleo, www.ubuntuguide.org has a section on audio codecs, have a read | 14:38 |
| babolat | egoleo: u shud get a prompt when u need it, esp in rhythmbox and amarok | 14:38 |
| hooer | i'll reboot and see how she goes | 14:38 |
| knmstrflx | bonezau: whats your CPU usage like? if high what process? | 14:38 |
| v0lksman | BonezAU: Check gnome-system-monitor...what is your CPU/RAM doing? | 14:38 |
| bazhang | luinfana: which chipset | 14:38 |
| ikonia | hooer: I'm rusty on grub so can't be certain, but it looks good | 14:38 |
| cgentry72 | I deleted my windows partition and formatted as an ext3 but now i cannot access it | 14:38 |

| puppetmaster | anyone, Rmvb files play in slow motion | 14:38 |
| Kcaj | to fix the mbr | 14:39 |
| tmapj | I added a bunch of bluetooth software. Now where did it go so i can run it? | 14:39 |
| tmapj | I added a bunch of bluetooth software. Now where did it go so i can run it? | 14:39 |
| luinfana | bazhang: it's a wired ethernet card, a Realtek 8139C+ | 14:39 |
| ikonia | Kcaj: who does | 14:39 |
| jdwatson | Anyone interested in a little BASH coding fun? | 14:39 |
| Kcaj | cgentry72 | 14:39 |
| Vlet | tmapj: it's not in the menus? | 14:39 |
| cgentry72 | Kcaj, yes | 14:39 |
| puppetmaster | I installed mplayer binary codecs ubuntu-restricted-extras w32 codec | 14:39 |
| Kcaj | I mean, as far as I understood the problem anyway | 14:39 |
| tmapj | vlet: no | 14:39 |
| bazhang | luinfana: what does ifconfig show? eth0 and lo | 14:39 |
| Kcaj | it is real easy, yu type like one line | 14:39 |
| Pici | !who | Kcaj | 14:39 |
| ubottu | Kcaj: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:39 |
| puppetmaster | and the problem still exists | 14:39 |
| BonezAU | v0lksman, cpu hovering around 30-40%, ram is 320mb of 1000mb used. | 14:39 |
| luinfana | bazhang: not in front of the machine ATM but I believe so | 14:39 |
| Vlet | tmapj: Well, what's the software? | 14:39 |
| puppetmaster | So what should I do? | 14:40 |
| shally87 | i have install the apache | 14:40 |
| magnetron | cgentry72: you shouldn't format partitions if you wish to keep the files. formatting removes the files. you should choose to resize the partition if you want to keep the files, not format it, | 14:40 |
| bazhang | puppetmaster: then install realplayer | 14:40 |
| tmapj | vlet: its all bluetooth programs | 14:40 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: maybe ubuntu removed it? or got another software insted or soemthing stupid like that lol | 14:40 |
| puppetmaster | I installed realplayer11 | 14:40 |
| shally87 | how do i run it? | 14:40 |
| hooer | ikonia, it's booting fine, cheers | 14:40 |
| puppetmaster | and the problem still exists also | 14:40 |
| ikonia | hooer: you did it yourself, more like "well done" | 14:40 |
| bazhang | luinfana: hard to troubleshoot from memory alone | 14:40 |
| Vlet | tmapj: what's the software? | 14:40 |
| babolat | !ask | puppetmaster | 14:40 |
| ubottu | puppetmaster: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 14:40 |
| BonezAU | v0lksman i am using an IBM Thinkpad T43 | 14:40 |
| puppetmaster | all media works fine but RMVB files | 14:40 |
| luinfana | bazhang: true true, I'll go boot it up :) | 14:40 |
| tmapj | vlet: its all bluetooth programs | 14:40 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, perhaps the envy thingy | 14:40 |
| cgentry72 | magnetron, thank you but i am aware of that. i did not want to keep anything. i mean i cannot save anything to the partition | 14:40 |
| hooer | sexy time! | 14:40 |
| microwaver | ludwi1, I do'nt use it myself | 14:40 |
| Vlet | tmapj: NAMES!? | 14:40 |
| BonezAU | high five | 14:40 |
| shally87 | !run apache | 14:40 |

| knmstrflx | bazhang: any last ditch efforts you might consider on this ATI driver issue before i boot back into windows? (i hate to see this hardy install go untouched like my gutsy install did) | 14:44 |
| Vlet | tmapj: because that's a KDE program, it might not be automatically entered into the gnome meny | 14:44 |
| cgentry72 | magnetron, it is mounted | 14:44 |

| ubottu | xpistos: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 14:44 |
| luinfana | xpistos: just search the forums for "usplash" | 14:44 |

| ilembitov | Hi, all. Seems like i broke ownership and access permissions for my $HOME directory. I can't login from gdm - it says, it doesn't have permissions | 14:44 |
| cgentry72 | magnetron, it mounts and everything but I can't move files there or save to it | 14:45 |
| ludwi1 | microwaver: i've already used terminal | 14:45 |
| v0lksman | sisif: it's going to be something related to ndiswrapper...unfortunately I can't help much more on that...I don't use wireless and never have so I am clueless....but I bet ndiswrapper is getting in the way.... | 14:45 |
| Pici | microwaver, ludwi1: xserver-xgl is not needed if you are running Hardy. | 14:45 |

| Pici | microwaver: Okay :), nevermind me then | 14:45 |
| cgentry72 | magnetron, root has permission that's the problem but i dont know how to change that | 14:45 |

| Kcaj | What do I do? ;_; happens when I try to install stuff using SYnaptic | 14:46 |

| cgentry72 | magnetron, so what would you suggest? | 14:47 |
| ludwi1 | I knew i should of research before updateing.. for some odd reason i felt like i needed to but ignored it. | 14:47 |
| Dvyjones | Anyon here that made bcm4306 work on ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron using ndiswrapper? | 14:47 |
| puppetmaster | Lynet I already installed w32codec package and the same RMVB problem | 14:47 |
| xpistos | bazhang: That is cool, I am getting rid of it today to replace with Hardy, but I just wanted to see if I could get it working first | 14:47 |
| Andeh | brb ^_^ | 14:47 |
| v0lksman | Andeh: good to hear! | 14:47 |
| blizzkid | lo all. I get these errors on my slave dns: http://www.pastebin.org/32999 | 14:47 |

| Aramil | anyboy has a toshiba here?and fixed the overheating problem? | 14:47 |
| v0lksman | BonezAU: sorry got distracted...vid driver may be an issue...do you know what card is in the machine? | 14:47 |
| slytherin | v0lksman: you provided wrong answer. Radeon 9000 doesn't need binary drivers. :-) | 14:47 |
| BonezAU | bazhang, everything in general. i don't play games... even firefox and terminals are running badly | 14:48 |
| BonezAU | BonezAU, it's the integrated Intel 910 chipset video card... it's all on board | 14:48 |
| bazhang | BonezAU: that is odd how much ram you got | 14:48 |
| puppetmaster | no my friend just the videos plays in slow motion | 14:48 |
| BonezAU | bazhang, 1gb :( | 14:48 |
| slytherin | xpistos: If you love command line mencoder is your friend. | 14:48 |
| v0lksman | slytherin: no ATI NEEDS binary drivers...however if the OSS driver isn't working then the ATI driver may be better for you | 14:48 |
| Dvyjones | Anyone here that made bcm4306 work on ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron using ndiswrapper? | 14:48 |
| xpistos | command line is good | 14:48 |
| BonezAU | v0lksman, it's the integrated Intel 910 chipset video card... it's all onboard | 14:49 |
| slytherin | v0lksman: You are still wrong. Not all cards need binary drivers. Only Radeon above 9200 | 14:49 |
| xpistos | slytherin: And I can accomplish my good strctly from the command line? | 14:49 |
| xpistos | slytherin: goal I mean | 14:49 |
| bazhang | BonezAU: how about shutting effects completely off | 14:49 |
| slytherin | xpistos: yes. | 14:49 |
| ludwi1 | does this new hardware testing program work right? in ubuntu HH | 14:49 |
| BonezAU | bazhang, ok i'll try that - good point | 14:49 |
| v0lksman | slytherin: re-read what I said....NO ati cards NEED binary drivers...the open source driver is suitable for a lot of people...but the binary is available if the open source version isn't doing what you want | 14:50 |
| BonezAU | bazhang, i had it set to normal, i've now set it to none. | 14:50 |
| xpistos | Usplash, Mencoder, now what if I want to go from Xvid to burn to a dvd? | 14:50 |
| Kcaj | This seems to be a popular bug/problem, nobody here knows what I can do? | 14:50 |
| Kcaj | It says E dante-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 14:50 |

| Dvyjones | Anyone here that made bcm4306 work on ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron using ndiswrapper? | 14:51 |
| slytherin | v0lksman: By the way AFAIK, there is no binary driver for 9000, but I may be wrong | 14:51 |
| v0lksman | slytherin: np...did he get it working with the binary driver or the open source? do you know? | 14:51 |
| Ulmanen | I'm gonna go back to windows soon | 14:51 |
| v0lksman | slytherin: yeah I'm not sure either...card is WAY old... ;) | 14:51 |
| slytherin | v0lksman: didn't say anything | 14:51 |
| Ulmanen | this update drives me nuts | 14:51 |
| Lynet | puppetmaster: Hmm. That's kinda bummer. But, well.. Support for proprietary codecs (windows media, realvideo/audio etc) is kinda sketchy in Linux, so it is hard to know if it can be fixed by changing some settings in the player of if that particular file simply doesn't work properly in Linux yet. | 14:51 |
| slytherin | Ulmanen: state you rproblem | 14:51 |
| Ulmanen | I don't get ANY sound | 14:51 |
| sisif | OK. What is better to use for a Broadcom wifi card? Ndiswrapper or fwcutter ? | 14:52 |
| hooer | okay i have one weird thing - when I do a "reboot" it works fine, when i do a "shutdown now" it goes to a recovery menu! :P how can i get it to properly shut down? | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ulmanen Please avoid posting your comments and opinions, this is a support room | 14:52 |
| glindstrom | I installed 8.04 last night. This morning when I booted up, my screen resolution was set to 600x800. When I did a restart, the screen resolution returned to the normal 1280x800. If I shut down and boot is goes back to 800x600, then restart sets it back to 1280x800. Is this the type of thing I should report somewhere as a possible bug? I'm on a Gateway laptop that came with Vista. I've... | 14:52 |
| v0lksman | puppetmaster: have you tried medibuntu (as I run and hide from the flames) | 14:52 |
| puppetmaster | Ok Lynet tell me what to to do | 14:52 |
| glindstrom | ...been running Ubunto on it for about 2 months with no problems. Thanks. | 14:52 |

| cgentry72 | I deleted my windows partition and formatted as an ext3 but now i cannot save anything to it. It says I do not have permission. | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ulmanen have you run your volume controls all the way dwon and back up | 14:53 |
| slytherin | Dvyjones: no but I made it work using native drivers and firmware | 14:53 |
| bazhang | luinfana: cable plugged in? try sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:54 |
| Lynet | puppetmaster: You should go look for a torrent for a version that uses a sane codec instead of tearing your hair out trying to play media that is in a proprietary and will never be properly supported in Linux codec. | 14:54 |
| slytherin | Ulmanen: what all applications did you try and do you see any error? | 14:54 |
| luinfana | bazhang: tried that, it says NO DHCPOFFERS RECIEVED | 14:54 |
| sisif | Dvyjones: I did. But now my wired module is not loading :D | 14:54 |
| Dvyjones | slytherin: Is it woking at an acceptable spped? | 14:54 |
| hooer | New issue -> when I do a "reboot" it works fine, when i do a "shutdown now" it goes to a recovery menu! :P how can i get it to properly shut down? | 14:54 |

| Andeh | v0lksman: *lol. It didnt work at all, and I had to enter recovery mode and reconfigure xorg :P | 14:56 |
| slytherin | Dvyjones: the b43 driver is already there. For firmware you will need to unable universe repository. Then open System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers and check the restricted driver. It will download firmware | 14:56 |
| bazhang | led wma? not sure if audacity can handle that proprietary format or no | 14:56 |

| cgentry72 | Jack_Sparrow, hehe hey i understand, i'm going to get a cup and a cig too brb thanks | 15:21 |
| RyanT5000 | is there any way to change the *disk* priority of a process? | 15:21 |
| luinfana | bazhang: http://pastebin.com/m4a554510 | 15:21 |
| Kcaj | but either way what happened is, you removed the partition with your boot loader on it I am assuming | 15:22 |
| bullgard4 | What programs will use the configuration file ~.fonts.conf? | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | RyanT5000: ionice | 15:22 |
| LjL | RyanT5000: uh | 15:22 |
| Kcaj | and you need to replace it, which is very difficult to do since your MBR is now fsckd | 15:22 |
| LjL | err, what he said | 15:22 |
| cgentry72 | Kcaj, are you speaking to me? | 15:22 |

| Kcaj | Yes, sorry I mean obviously once I start the train of conversation with you, best I can do is throw your name in every once in a while :P | 15:22 |

I have tried wiping out my windows installation but it won't allow me to for some reason. | 15:25 |
| thebloggu | still no help? anyone? | 15:25 |
| hydrozen | bazhang: its just that microsoft they release images that you can use to test ie6.. ie7 | 15:25 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: what is your question | 15:25 |
| Vlet | luinfana: what's the worst that could happen... if you decide you don't want it, you can boot off the live-cd and resize your windows partition back to normal | 15:25 |
| cgentry72 | ok guys i'm going for a cig so i'll be back shortly, just appreciate any help from ya guys | 15:25 |
| bullgard4 | murrayc: Ah, yes. This is true. -- Thank you for explaining. | 15:25 |
| thebloggu | i was upgrading but was force to interrupt because it stood still in scrollkeeper file names blacklist.xml (one line i dont remember) then i continued the upgrade later in command line. it installed and rebooted. later tried dpkg --configure -a to correct mistakes but still there were problems with scrollkeeper and mpd. i decided to remove scrollkeeper (via synaptic) but it removed synaptic and gnome-terminal too. i used urxvt and installed sy | 15:25 |

| BonezAU | hydrozen, IE6 runs in wine if you are interested, google IES4Linux | 15:26 |

| luinfana | Vlet: it just sits there at "resizing" and does absolutely nothing | 15:26 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: it seems that /etc/fonts/fonts.conf comes with fontconfig not with xft ... | 15:26 |
| ikonia | thebloggu: what do you want then | 15:26 |

| mdarcelin | dvyjones, it simply refuses to even load the live CD | 15:27 |
| Dvyjones | mdarcelin: By the way, the anser is that you have to change mount point on one of the partitions to / | 15:27 |

| edreamleo | Flannel: did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. It reports nothing done, nothing needed. | 16:01 |
| cwillu | Mimi, you can install libflashsupport in synaptic, but once in a while firefox/epiphany will close for no apparent reason | 16:02 |
| Cpudan80 | hawodi: Scroll down to the part with the bash script for Network Manager | 16:02 |
| manifest_ | can anyone tell me why does my ubuntu not find C:? | 16:02 |
| swmiller6 | Koheleth: menncoder of ffmpeg | 16:02 |
| Flannel | darklingduck: Thunderbird is in the repositories. You don't need to install it from your targz | 16:02 |
| joh6nn | manifest_: what are you trying to do? | 16:02 |
| Turno | manifest_: you need to "mount" it if its your windows drive | 16:02 |
| hawodi | its quite a simple file to allow internet browsing and allow tcp services locally. | 16:02 |
| redo86 | hello | 16:02 |
| Mimi | cwillu: can i uninstall it later, if i find it too much trouble? i think its worth a try :D | 16:02 |
| cwillu | manifest_, ubuntu (and linux in general) doesn't use drive letters | 16:02 |
| manifest_ | how does i mount it? | 16:02 |
| deadchip | how can i find out the configure flags of an installed package? | 16:02 |
| Turno | manifest_: google mount | 16:02 |
| cwillu | Mimi, you can | 16:02 |
| cwillu | actually, wanna try something? | 16:02 |
| cwillu | Mimi, ^^^ | 16:02 |
| darklingduck | Flannel: How do I access the Repositories? | 16:02 |
| fr500 | weltall: what did you do to get sound even working? | 16:02 |
| Mimi | ^_^ Thanks so much cwillu | 16:02 |
| Koheleth | swmiller6, thanks is it user friendly? | 16:02 |
| fr500 | weltall: i get no sound at all | 16:03 |
| Melancholia | is there a way to CHANGE my volumes names?? | 16:03 |
| sisif | Hello guys. How can I get rid of ndiwsrapper once installed. Adding it to blacklist still doesen`t prevent it from being loaded at boot :( | 16:03 |
| swmiller6 | not really | 16:03 |
| Flannel | darklingduck: Theres a few different ways. Add/Remove programs, or Synaptic pcakage manager (the former is in your applications menu, the latter, system > admin > synaptic) | 16:03 |
| cwillu | Mimi, if you can promise to let me know in a week if it's caused any issues, I'll give you a different version of libflashsupport that _might_ not have the crashing problem | 16:03 |
| weltall | the shipped kernel is bugged with zsnes | 16:03 |
| brane | i have brand new laptop Asus A7U and 8.04 wont boot - same error as mobo ECS KA3 MVP !?!! | 16:03 |
| Blackdoggy | when I try to install "gnome-desktop-environment", but it says "gnome-keyring-manager (>= 2.20.0)" is needed, but cant install it | 16:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cgentry72 correct you have 4.. I dont have time to explain.. | 16:03 |
| Melancholia | instead of Sda5 and sda 3 and those things | 16:03 |
| weltall | it won't output audio no matter what you need .25 to get something | 16:03 |
| weltall | at least trough alsa | 16:03 |
| hawodi | lost you there Cupudan80 | 16:03 |
| Mimi | cwillu: Yeah I can do that, I'll write your name down, the date, and what you've asked me. I'll test with pandora and youtube | 16:03 |
| deadchip | sorry how can i find out the configure flags of an installed package? | 16:03 |
| redo86 | I've installed ubuntu last mounth but i've a problem can i ask here? | 16:03 |
| Flannel | edreamleo: You're upgrading, yes? Did update-manager not work for you? | 16:03 |
| cwillu | Mimi, okay, one sec | 16:03 |
| cgentry72 | Jack_Sparrow, i can come back later then, for now can it wait or should i just do a fresh install | 16:03 |
| weltall | as for pulse i couldn't get it to work for day today i tried -ad pulse and it magically worked | 16:04 |
| Wobe | redo86: ask away | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cgentry72 put a # at the front of line 10 in your fstab save and reboot, then try to mount that partition manually | 16:04 |
| weltall | days* | 16:04 |
| darklingduck | Flannel: Thanks for the help. | 16:04 |

| ArthurArchnix | Mimi | 16:04 |
| fr500 | weltall: so you changed kernel 1st? | 16:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cgentry72 no it is easy fix, but I am shorter on time than I would like.. so go do that and come back.. | 16:04 |
| manifest_ | hmm | 16:04 |
| manifest_ | my dualbooting wont work | 16:04 |
| weltall | well yes now i've a vanilla 2.6.25 | 16:05 |

| weltall | i didn't test zsnes now that it started working with pulseaudio on .24 kernel | 16:05 |
| cgentry72 | Jack_Sparrow, i'm sorry i am not sure how to do that add in front of line 10 sorry | 16:05 |

| Pici | redo86: You need to ask a question here first. | 16:05 |
| edreamleo | Flannel: I can't find upgrade manager. Iirc I uninstalled too much python; Gui disappeared. Used apt-get to get python and most of the gui back, but About Ubuntu and Upgrade Manager menu items didn't come back ;-) | 16:05 |
| leonbrussels | manifest: You can edit your menu.lst yourself | 16:05 |
| weltall | but for sure you can't use oss and alsa output with .24 kernel (tried since gutsy) | 16:05 |
| joh6nn | anyone know what /usr/uns/lib is? | 16:05 |
| fr500 | weltall: well sound woks if i kill pulseaudio and configure alsa | 16:05 |

| cgentry72 | Jack_Sparrow, got that | 16:06 |
| fr500 | weltall: doesnt work if pulse is running | 16:06 |
| swmiller6 | Koheleth: you could try avidemux I have not used that to convert avi to flv but I am pretty sure it can and it is more freindly then meancoder or ffmpeg | 16:06 |
| Flannel | edreamleo: install the linux-generic metapackage. then dist-upgrade, then once you're there, install ubuntu-desktop | 16:06 |
| weltall | hum for me it works it's enough that pulse isn't being used | 16:06 |
| fr500 | but weird enough aplay for instance can output audio | 16:06 |

| keegan | hi while i am on windows ultimate i am shown more wireless networks in the same position of the laptop than i am shown in ubuntu and with better connectivity. Any reason for this . laptop is sony vaio fz 140 e | 16:22 |
| laeg | Pici: the readme file just says to extract the dir but not where to put it | 16:22 |
| Domevlo | bazhang: I'm looking at my sources.list file, and it has backports and proposed. What exactly do those signify? (I like to know why I'm doing what I'm doing, helps me learn) | 16:23 |
| laeg | bazhang: i'm getting help from an az dev and he told me to unistall 2.5 and upgrade to this version | 16:23 |
| Pici | laeg: So. extract it then. tar xzvf file.tar.gz | 16:23 |
| Jeruvy | Hey folks, for slower systems whats the minimum desktop I can run? | 16:23 |
| bazhang | Domevlo: you are running the absolute bleeding edge of ubuntu ;] | 16:23 |
| manifest_ | bazhang: what do u mean which onje? | 16:23 |
| Wobe | Jeruvy: xfce works well or blackbox/fluxbox | 16:23 |
| laeg | Pici: is that command the same as extracting it in the gui and do i just put it in my home dir? | 16:23 |
| nibsa1242b | keegan probably has to to with the wireless card in your laptop; most wireless card manufactures do not make drivers for Linux | 16:23 |
| tomeu_ | in feisty whe i connect to smb folder in domain, i have my permission, but when i tray to make the same in hardy no have any permissions | 16:24 |
| Domevlo | bazhang: huh? | 16:24 |
| bazhang | manifest_: which was installed first--xp/vista or ubuntu | 16:24 |
| Jeruvy | Wobe: those are in the alt build cd? Or do I need a different version? | 16:24 |
| Pici | laeg: Yes, or just right click on it and select extract here. somewhere in your home dir. | 16:24 |
| manifest_ | vista | 16:24 |
| laeg | bazhang: i like the term 'bleeding edge' :P | 16:24 |
| laeg | Pici: ty | 16:24 |

| Koheleth | swmiller6, from 26mb to 8mb well cool | 16:24 |
| bazhang | Domevlo: something like fedora-lite | 16:24 |
| laeg | Pici: i thought there was much more to installing tar apps i download | 16:24 |
| Wobe | Jeruvy: I'm not sure they can all be grabbed via synaptic after install | 16:24 |
| Hammer89 | how do I find out if direct rendering is enabled on my computer? (I know there was a command that you could run in terminal... cant remember what it was though) | 16:25 |
| Domevlo | bazhang: so let me get this straight. Enabling backports + proposed = bleeding edge (Ubuntu style)? | 16:25 |
| nibsa1242b | Could someone point me to a guide on nut (network ups tools) under Hardy, it doesn't seem to be working after upgrade. | 16:25 |
| Pici | laeg: You need to read the INSTALL and README files within the extracted directory. | 16:25 |
| Jeruvy | Wobe: ok thanks. | 16:25 |
| bazhang | Domevlo: as bleeding as it gets | 16:25 |
| manifest_ | bazhang: vista | 16:25 |
| nibsa1242b | keegan no, no idea intel is normally well supported | 16:25 |
| Flannel | Jeruvy: Alt CD would work. Install a server/GUI-less install, then install them on top (otherwise you'll have to remove stuff). Xubuntu uses xfce, the others you just have to grab from the repos | 16:25 |
| Domevlo | bazhang: oh ok. i can understand that for proposed, but backports sounds like its composed of old packages | 16:25 |
| nibsa1242b | keegan do you know what type of pro wireless it is? | 16:25 |
| bazhang | manifest_: please explain what happens when you want to boot | 16:25 |

| Odd-rationale | I would like to ssh into my machine, but my internal ip is different from my external ip. so i can only ssh from within my lan. Is there a way around this? Thanks! | 16:30 |

| newguydude | but that did nothing | 16:31 |
| bazhang | or lshw -c | network? Hammer89 forgot but something close to that | 16:31 |
| keegan | so it should give me the same results as vista . unfortunately it dosnt. | 16:31 |

| LjL | laeg: ok then. don't ever touch /usr, though, except for /usr/local | 16:48 |
| Supermaks | About deluge: I set all four proxies in configuration but anyway deluge make direct connect to seeds and peers. What's wrong ? | 16:48 |
| LjL | !aptitude | moveax | 16:49 |
| ubottu | moveax: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 16:49 |

| iclebyte | tonybaloney867, vfat = fat32 which is the filesystem used from windows98 +. ideally you should use NTFS tho.. | 17:12 |

| nsx | ntfs is less prone to fragmentation and corruption than fat | 17:13 |
| laeg | brane: i hate windows also, i mean you can config the windows key to do stuff in ubuntu | 17:13 |
| nsx | there are two good reasons | 17:13 |

| Girltalk | styrman: i used to be an Eterm freak but my gnome terminals look sexy. also, they embed into any compiz desktop with ease | 17:14 |
| nsx | I'm not sure what that means. in every file system there are tradeoffs made. | 17:14 |
| tonybaloney867 | Ahhh okay. I was thinking Fat32 in case I need to plug it into a Mac. (NTFS-3G is still technically beta on Mac OS X) | 17:14 |
| iclebyte | if you used ext3 then you cant use it in windows... | 17:14 |
| styrman | Girltalk: yeah i know i just dont run compiz atm | 17:14 |
| azuki | can I get here in ubuntu? : http://www.flickr.com/photos/tarotoast/1461847980/ | 17:14 |
| laeg | nsx: i only ask because afaik ubuntu prefers ext3 but i think windows like ntfs | 17:14 |
| nsx | there's an ext3 driver for windows | 17:14 |
| genii | omnz0r: Ah. So in this case the hardware is only outputting what it knows it can reasonable send to the builtin. | 17:14 |
| iclebyte | tonybaloney867, run with fat32 then. its pretty easy to change it anyway =) | 17:14 |

| eimajenthat | Does Ubuntu Server 8.04 use inetd or xinetd by default? | 17:25 |
| soundray | paynito: no, lines starting with # are comments and will be ignored | 17:26 |
| AncientPC | xkrchnav: First check if the card has linux drivers on Google beforehand, if you do go ahead and use Ubuntu I'd suggest getting 256MB more RAM or using xubuntu. | 17:26 |

| Hammer89 | is there a command I can issue from terminal to export the audio of one ubuntu system to another? | 17:44 |
| spideyman | xkrchnav, puppy usually works right from the get go but you can install more through petget | 17:44 |
| Hammer89 | (using hardy) | 17:44 |
| unop | soundray, i don't think it would be right to say "ubuntu has departed from the ~/.bash_profile tradition" there was never such a tradition to indicate a preference over ~/.bashrc, the two files serve different purposes. so unless ubuntu has heavily modified bash, ~/.bash_profile is sourced whenever you invoke a logon shell (even through gnome-session) | 17:44 |
| LjL | weaseal: i don't know, but http://packages.ubuntu.com allows you to search for it | 17:44 |

| === x-spec-t is now known as Spec | ||
| LjL | Hammer89: uhm, i'm not aware of a transparent way (although ALSA can do wonders, if one knows how)... but check out NAS (the Network Audio System), main package "nas" | 17:45 |
| Wo0dy | Sirjames: if it's enabled, do ctrl-alt-mouse click - move mouse | 17:45 |

| LjL | Hammer89: there is also an "audiooss" package that *tries* to provide transparent OSS sound emulation through NAS | 17:46 |
| weaseal | is there an alternative to packages.ubuntu.com ? | 17:46 |
| spideyman | xkrchnav, after is fine | 17:46 |
| LjL | !apt-file | weaseal | 17:46 |
| ubottu | weaseal: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" | 17:46 |
| === _boto2 is now known as _boto | ||

| LjL | weaseal: for files that you *already have installed*, you can just type "dpkg -S filename", too, to find out which package they belong to | 17:46 |
| spideyman | xkrchnav, it just wont save until you specify a pup save file | 17:47 |

| unop | azuk1, wow, you got some serious issues with unzip there .. can you paste (in a !pastebin) an excerpt of what you see? | 18:21 |

| Super_Cat_Frog | IndyGunFreak: ah, ok | 18:22 |
| soundray | sbga420: no, the 32bit version will work, too | 18:22 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | i tried apt-get update but it fails because of slow network and also no sources | 18:22 |
| Laser87 | sbga420: No - you also can use the 32 -Version | 18:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Super_Cat_Frog: once its in, look under places/computer, and see if it shows as available there. | 18:22 |
| sbga420 | ok | 18:22 |
| ibleed | sbga420, using 32 bit for you would give you more problem free usage of flash and java. with 64 bit it's more of a chore if it ever works | 18:22 |

| [DR]TNT_Boom | im not on that computer | 18:23 |

| soundray | iclebyte: it should be created if you plug in a USB serial device | 18:23 |
| Vlet | paule: us.archive.ubuntu.com is the main repo, and to add one, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:24 |
| Pupen1 | How do | 18:24 |
| unop | azuk1, have you tried quoting the glob you pass to unzip .. because unzip can do the globs itself. i.e. unzip '*' # not unzip * | 18:24 |
| LjL | Vlet, paule: no, archive.ubuntu.com is the main repo | 18:24 |
| paule | [DR]TNT_Boom: read Vlets answer to me and Vlet, thank you a lot | 18:24 |
| lackli | i have a website that i go to. i sign-in, and then it goes to a "Flash Detect" page, where it is supposed to transition to the next page. i have swfdec, and it just remains on the flash detect page. how can i fix this? amd64-user | 18:24 |
| ibleed | paule, you add repositories by editing /etc/apt/sources.list. if you go to system-administration-software sources, you can select the server you wish to use for non 3rd party updates | 18:24 |
| Vlet | LjL: d'oh :) | 18:24 |
| unop | azuk1, and what is unzip ¨$i¨ ?? :) that's not what i gave you :) | 18:24 |
| dupin | [DR]TNT_Boom : the when you are system>admin>software sources>check all under Ubuntu software and updates tab and reload | 18:24 |

| azuk1 | unop: no that what you are saying won work... unzip adds .zip to the extensions if not entered | 18:25 |
| Super_Cat_Frog | IndyGunFreak: rebooting | 18:25 |

| unop | dupin, forward that to azuk1 - i'm not the one with an unzip issue :) plus that's not really needed, he has unzip already | 18:26 |
| sase | vinoMK | 18:26 |

| [DR]TNT_Boom | its somewhy slows never had it under windwos Oo | 18:27 |
| azuk1 | unop: so you mean: unzip *.z$ip ... or unzip ¨$i¨ ... ? | 18:27 |
| dupin | unop :sorry,my mistake | 18:27 |
| ibleed | i remember there was a compression format that was going to be integrated into ubiquity that would give it the advantage of higher compression than the one it had previously used. anyone know what that is ? | 18:27 |

| xkrchnav | Vlet thanks for that :) So maybe also my card is supported, isn't it? | 18:27 |
| iclebyte | soundray, good idea. thanks | 18:27 |

| tmapj | could someone tell me what the difference is between KDE and ubuntu? | 18:30 |
| paule | [DR]TNT_Boom: sudo is the comand to gain root rights temporarily, apt-get install is the command for installing applications and the following words are the names for a torrent client that can be run from the command line / terminal and its interface. | 18:30 |
| azuk1 | unop: http://pastebin.com/m23bbc8d0 | 18:30 |
| lousygarua | tmapj, ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop enviorment, kubuntu uses KDE | 18:30 |
| bigtimer121 | soundray: k, thanks | 18:30 |
| arcsky | unop: can you recomand me a nice guide for it? | 18:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | tmapj: basically just the GUI.. Kubuntu uses KDE, Ubuntu uses gnome.. google screenshots for Kubuntu and Ubuntu, and you'll see the difference | 18:30 |
| lousygarua | tmapj, if in doubt, i suggest ubuntu | 18:30 |
| azuk1 | unop: and that repeated a few hundred times ofcoursse | 18:30 |

| tmapj | Hey but there are some programs that only work in KDE | 18:31 |
| unop | azuk1, i bet you got the command wrong .. can you include that in the paste too? | 18:31 |
| paule | [DR]TNT_Boom: IRCssi is a terminal based irc client | 18:31 |

| hydrogen | use kde | 18:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | tmapj: no.. a kde program will work on gnome, and vice versa, provided you install all the required libraries(and synaptic will do that for you) | 18:32 |
| hydrogen | you'll be happy | 18:32 |
| paule | tmapj: you can get all the libraries to run KDE programs in gnome | 18:32 |
| soundray | tmapj: if you still think you want KDE rather than gnome, look at kubuntu | 18:32 |

| tmapj | i dont know | 18:34 |
| tmapj | indygunfreak: i dont know im lost | 18:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Super_Cat_Frog: point is, even if the drive didn't work under Ubuntu, you should be able to at least open the drive... | 18:34 |
| tech0007 | tmapj: if you do apt-get install [kdeapp], it will prompt you to install needed libs | 18:34 |

| IndyGunFreak | tmapj: so you have no idea what it is you're tryign to do? | 18:34 |

| unop | azuk1, well, what is happening is with "unzip *.zip" the shell compiles a commmand like "unzip a.zip b.zip c.zip ..." which ultimately means unzip is trying to all the other files from a.zip | 18:43 |
| dan | funkyHat, thanks for the hand!! | 18:43 |
| cousin_luigi | tech0007: please let me know if you find a way to make gadgets work | 18:43 |

| funkyHat | dan, :) if you're using an iPod Classic or nano 3G you might have to do a tiny bit of fiddling to make it work, but only once, and all the older ones just work (also rhythmbox will transcode any ogg or other formats to mp3 if you put them on your iPod) | 18:44 |
| Girltalk | Lava: in gutsy, literally, right click, and write to CD | 18:44 |
| gamerguy2k8 | my sound doesnt work in ubuntu but the wifi is fine, and the wifi doesnt work properly in suse but the sound works fine | 18:44 |

| Lava | erUSUL, Girltalk thanks, tried that, but it doesn't recognise the cd afterwards | 18:44 |

| cousin_luigi | soundray: I think I have...other problems arise | 18:45 |
| the|Navigator | It's gone though the upgrade and got to the 'Distribution upgrade' larger dialog... but the dialog has nothing on, it's just completely grey | 18:45 |

| tech0007 | cousin_luigi: yup, java6-jre doesnt work w/ volano chat | 18:46 |

| the|Navigator | After the download and the install, the window called 'Distribution Upgrade'... At a guess it does something to do with changing settings, but it's just blank for me... | 18:46 |
| tech0007 | cousin_luigi: i just tested it, i know my java's working | 18:46 |
| svl | A lot of shortcut key combinations like Mod4 (Super?) + L, Mod4 + E, Mod4 + F seem to be reserved by something, and assigning them under system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts is not having any effect. Where can I find out what's reserving them, and how can I undo that? | 18:46 |
| soundray | cousin_luigi: yet another option is to get a 32bit firefox and the 32bit Sun Java plugin. Again, you'll be contaminating your system somewhat | 18:46 |
| cousin_luigi | |neko|: id' do it manually | 18:46 |
| ibleed | funkyHat, is that the only application you are aware of that does that ? for ipod ? | 18:46 |
| unop | arcsky, also, this as a supplement http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/samba3/ | 18:46 |

| nelydajo | tmapj, a dongle is a device that connects to usb or serial port. Allows you to connect to other devices e.g bluetooth dongle, or used for software copy protection | 18:47 |
| funkyHat | ibleed, I don't know, I expect gtkpod and amaroK do the same, banshee possibly does as well, but I don't think banshee works with classic/3g nano | 18:47 |
| cousin_luigi | soundray: I can install jre5 or 6 but that applet I need doesn't work with those | 18:47 |
| Super_Cat_Frog | IndyGunFreak: just thought i'd let you know | 18:47 |
| snarkste1 | I did the distro update last night to the newest version and I had sound this morning i dont, and I have no idea how to fix it. | 18:47 |

| dan | im pretty new to linux, so i torrented this pack of 500 ebooks with almost every book on unix, c++, networking, the works possible. what book should i read first to get the hang of this OS? | 18:47 |
| soundray | cousin_luigi: you could install gutsy as a virtual machine and run firefox and jre1.4 inside that | 18:47 |
| tmapj | ok thnx nelydajo | 18:47 |
| User2005 | ? | 18:47 |

| cousin_luigi | soundray: I guess I could, but it would be awful | 18:48 |

| ibleed | BasioDeJudas, ubuntu would work and is pretty easy to use it the majority of the people here dislike windows for all the right reasons | 18:54 |

| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: well he wanted elive ;] | 18:55 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | funkyhat its the client or the server? | 18:55 |
| BasioDeJudas | Oh really bazhang is that possible | 18:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: oh thats right, i forgot elive uses enlightment | 18:55 |
| bazhang | BasioDeJudas: sure it is very easy to do | 18:55 |

| hwilde | !fsck | bigtimer121 | 18:56 |
| ubottu | bigtimer121: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | BasioDeJudas: its easy, and if you decide you want it, all you have to do is either google, or ask here, and someone will tell you | 18:56 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | i lost the command for the torrent client?? | 18:56 |
| bazhang | BasioDeJudas: you can install xfce, kde, enlightenment, fluxbox, and many others on ubuntu--and still be supported here | 18:56 |
| weaseal | bigtimer121, that error is typically caused by either a bad disk, or you shut the computer down when it was busy, perhaps your power went out, etc | 18:57 |

| svl | A lot of shortcut key combinations like Mod4 (Super? the windows key, in any case) + L, Mod4 + E, Mod4 + F seem to be reserved by something, and assigning them under system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts is not having any effect (the assigned action is not performed). These actions do work when I assign them to an 'unreserved' combo like Mod4+R (after disabling compiz). Where can I... | 19:05 |
| svl | ...find out what's reserving them, and how can I undo that? | 19:05 |
| irc__ | I just don't understand what's great about it. | 19:05 |
| david_-_-_ | SitUbuntuSit: so wouldnt ie6 do same thing not stablish connection? like 32 bit firefox does in wine with my 64 bit hardy. | 19:05 |

| slashzul | does Ubuntu have sessions like solaris containers? | 19:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | bigtimer121: so you need to run a manual fsck, according to that | 19:20 |

| bullgard1 | DexterF: err! Do uname -r | 19:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | !fsck | 19:21 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:21 |

| h00k | JenFraggle: you have to unmount them before you can delete a partition | 19:29 |

| T3T4 | i just got a technician to configure my internet connection in ubuntu 7.10, now i am running the updater and i saw that i can upgrade to ubuntu 8.04, will the update process erase the internet configuration? | 19:29 |
| soundray | w00t: nothing untoward in there. But you'll only know for sure once you've rebooted... | 19:29 |
| Sherry345 | can u read me? | 19:29 |

| Intangir | the only problem with #ubuntu, and the ubuntu forums, is theres like a BILLION people on both, most of them are asking questions, and few are answering any | 19:50 |
| Vinni3 | thanks. shouldnt take awhile to send it to the uk :) | 19:50 |

| bullgard1 | angasule: Thank you for explaining. -- Mind your language though. | 19:51 |
| soundray | Intangir: and you're just adding noise. Please discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:51 |
| crash91 | user1982: Restart your computer? Instead of digging up some obscure command, its easier to do that :) | 19:51 |
| Sherry345 | Vinni3 ahan it will come tomorrow b4 newspaper, try it :P | 19:51 |
| Sherry345 | crash91 same here | 19:51 |
| soundray | !sound | user1982 | 19:51 |
| ubottu | user1982: 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).

| Vinni3 | one more thing: would ubuntu run on a 10+ year old p3 box? | 19:52 |
| pygmymath | yep | 19:52 |
| Intangir | Vinni3: ya | 19:52 |
| david_-_-_ | when i use ie7 through wine to install it i get this error the second i double click on it "unable to find the volume for file extraction, please verify that you have the proper permissions" how do i fix this? | 19:52 |
| Vinni3 | good. | 19:52 |
| Sherry345 | Vinni3 exactly it is also for trash pc's | 19:52 |
| crash91 | Vinni3: Ive run 7.04 on my Pentium Two :) so yes | 19:52 |
| user1982 | it's a crash in sound | 19:52 |
| soundray | Vinni3: it needs plenty of memory though | 19:52 |
| pygmymath | Vinni3: 7.10 running on a 800mhz p3 tablet with 256 meg of ram | 19:52 |
| DJones | Vinni3: I use a PIII 733mhz as a file server | 19:52 |
| Vinni3 | 128? | 19:52 |
| Sherry345 | try it u will love to line in 21st century then | 19:52 |
| pygmymath | Vinni3: 7.10 running on a 800mhz p3 tablet with 500 meg of ram shared i mean | 19:52 |
| Sherry345 | u can even run it on 64 | 19:52 |
| user1982 | it works but somtime crash wiht ugly sounds | 19:52 |
| Vinni3 | :/ | 19:52 |
| soundray | Vinni3: if it has 128MB, I would upgrade. Or install xubuntu or server. | 19:53 |
| danbhfive | Vinni3: I dont think it will run on 128mgs of ram | 19:53 |
| jaffarkelshac | david_-_-_, why are you using ie7 | 19:53 |
| Intangir | ive been running ubuntu on a p3 933 mhz | 19:53 |
| DJones | Vinni3: 128 could be a bit tight though, maybe try xubuntu | 19:53 |
| crash91 | Vinni3: Although if you need it to be more fast then xubuntu | 19:53 |
| Intangir | for.. | 19:53 |
| user1982 | i dnt want to restard my computer :/ | 19:53 |
| DJones | !xubuntu | Vinni3 | 19:53 |

| AzizLight | I am using a macbook pro and when I'm using ubuntu it becomes very very hot fast | 19:53 |

| ubud | what program is good for drawing block diagram or a group pc network together | 19:54 |
| Vinni3 | yeah | 19:54 |
| sparr__ | ubud: kivio | 19:54 |
| Girltalk | Azizlight: that is simply a design element of the macbook pro (aka awful ventilation) | 19:54 |
| ubud | sparr_: does it have diagram of computer? | 19:55 |
| Vinni3 | sony laptops do the same. shame actually, because they are quite nice | 19:55 |
| soundray | AzizLight: does it get hotter than when you run OS X? | 19:55 |
| AzizLight | Girltalk: yeah I know it gets hot but when I use ubuntu it gets even hotter (like hd 42 degres and cpu 70degres) it never gets that hot when I'm using mac os x | 19:56 |
| soundray | AzizLight: which version of Ubuntu do you have? | 19:56 |
| AzizLight | hardy | 19:56 |
| arooni__ | hey team! if i have a gutsy laptop (lenovo t61)... 1) is it safe to upgrade to hardy? 2) is it the right time to do that (in terms of traffic and trying to get the upgrade via the cool built in UI in gutsy)? 3) if its ok to go... how do i start running it? how long will it take? | 19:56 |
| yassine | hi everyone | 19:56 |
| Girltalk | arooni__: you have a lot of questions that can be answered on the website FAQ. Check it out :) | 19:57 |
| danbhfive | arooni__: I'm personally waiting, but if you are ready, update-manager -d | 19:57 |
| soundray | AzizLight: one thing you might do is to look at the installation reports available through tuxmobil.org and see if others have tweaked their Macbooks for cooler running. | 19:57 |
| Vinni3 | xbuntu room seems a bit quiet. might google it anyway | 19:57 |
| laeg | hello irish | 19:57 |
| yassine | short question where do i activate the compiz cube i have everything else working (window animations etc) only the cube is in not active | 19:57 |
| arooni-mobile | danbhfive, what are you waiting for? | 19:57 |
| Girltalk | arooni__: I run hardy on my x-series lenovo, and it works like a charm. | 19:58 |
| laeg | yassine: #compiz | 19:58 |
| DJones | arooni__: I've done 5 upgrades via update manager, just use Update Manager from System Administration and there should be an option for a distriution upgrade, its taken anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on the machine | 19:58 |
| soundray | Girltalk: X300? | 19:58 |
| yassine | join #compiz | 19:58 |
| laeg | no you join #compiz :) | 19:58 |

| svl | once more, hoping someone knows: something is preventing the use of the shortcut keys: win-L, win-F e.a. for assigning to actions in the system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts dialog. (They get assigned, but have no effect.) Does _anyone_ know how/where I can make this work / find out _what_ is preventing the action from happening? | 19:58 |
| AzizLight | soundray: thanks I will check that | 19:58 |
| arooni-mobile | Girltalk, did you upgrade? | 19:59 |
| nibsa1242b | arooni__ I've done two successful updates, both took about 3 hours from start to finish; and both went perfectly smooth | 19:59 |
| manifest_ | whats the newest grub on the market? | 19:59 |
| AzizLight | soundray: but if the heat is not dangerous for the mac I don't really care, I just don't want the thing to burn on my lap lol | 19:59 |

| Malbojia | Good afternoon, I need some help on migrating my samba install from debian sid to ubuntu 8.04 | 19:59 |
| arooni-mobile | Girltalk, but did you upgrade from gutsy | 19:59 |
| Girltalk | arooni-mobile: i had some upgrade issues, so i decided to go with a fresh install. | 19:59 |
| at0mix | how do i make use restricted drivers show up? after upgrade to 8.04 | 19:59 |
| arooni-mobile | Girltalk, what kinds of issues | 19:59 |
| crash91 | LSG: yes, its blank, look at the screenshot in the thread | 20:00 |
| Salvationist | hello | 20:00 |
| laeg | do i need to doing anything like installing drivers for my nic other than inputting my ip addresses? my internet works but dev of several bittorrent clients are having a hard time explaining my QoS | 20:00 |
| Salvationist | i have a little question | 20:00 |
| soundray | AzizLight: if it gets much hotter than under OS X, I would worry a bit. | 20:00 |
| nibsa1242b | AzizLight: I doubt the heat is terribly dangerous for the processor. I don't know what the specs are on your particular processor in that machine. However, I know my AMD Turion processor is rated for 95C before failure. | 20:00 |
| danbhfive | arooni__: well, there were a few bugs that worried me. Nvidia bugs, sudo bug, a bug with ndiswrapper? There were even bugs in the beta with regard to the hd format program. Apparently, the official fix was delayed, and it was going to be a release note. Another turn off for me. I treasure a good working disk partitioner | 20:00 |
| LifeEscalade | when i run the install for the server iso, it stops at retrieving binutils-static-udeb.... is there anything i did wrong? | 20:00 |
| crash91 | LSG:I even did the svn command to fetch all the emerald themes from the repo. | 20:00 |
| Girltalk | arooni-mobile: Wireless card recognition, and some very very long hangups during the update process. | 20:00 |
| soundray | AzizLight: does it scale the frequency down when the load is low? | 20:01 |
| sharperguy | Is it just me, or did pulseaudio cause more problems than is solved? | 20:01 |
| arooni-mobile | oh noes | 20:01 |
| nibsa1242b | AzizLight: I would possibly worry about HD temp | 20:01 |
| pygmymath | danbhfive: running a 9600gt now, sexy like. | 20:01 |
| Vinni3 | Wubi any good? might give it a shot | 20:01 |
| Salvationist | how can i append a folder from the desktop to the Internet menu item of the Applications menu? | 20:01 |
| LSG | crash91: Same thing happened to me. You can download some from Gnome-look and the like, or make your own. | 20:01 |
| pygmymath | getting boatedddd | 20:02 |
| arooni-mobile | danbhfive, so later is there going to be a supplmental release that i shoudl consier | 20:02 |
| arooni-mobile | consider | 20:02 |
| AzizLight | soundray: what do you mean? you mean does it lag more when it gets hot? | 20:02 |
| crash91 | LSG: they refuse to import into the manager. | 20:02 |
| LSG | crash91: I was, however, able to install some themes through the terminal, i just can't remember exactly what i did. | 20:02 |
| Salvationist | is that possible? | 20:02 |
| Vlet | Salvationist: the gnome menu isn't based on folders, so you would need to use the menu editor to create whatever items you want added manually | 20:02 |
| LSG | crash91: How did you install Emerald? | 20:02 |
| AzizLight | nibsa1242b: hoe can I verify what is the max temperature the hd/cpu should get? | 20:02 |
| Leonidas_ | anyone try Xubuntu? | 20:02 |
| crash91 | LSG: Synaptic | 20:02 |
| danbhfive | arooni-mobile: I don't think so, but bug fixes will probably be released over time | 20:02 |
| soundray | AzizLight: no, I mean does it reduce the core frequency? Intel calls this SpeedStep. You can monitor the frequency with a panel applet. | 20:03 |
| Vadi | I'm trying to copy some hidden folders from another drive that I backed them up to, and it keeps saying permission denied. I've already tried it in gksudo nautilus and it's the same thing. Can anyone help? | 20:03 |

| AzizLight | soundray: i don't know, I'm using osx right now | 20:03 |
| AzizLight | I will check it next time I log on ubuntu tho | 20:04 |
| crash91 | LSG: No, System>Administration>Synaptic Package manager | 20:04 |
| nibsa1242b | AzizLight: you need to know the exact processor model # and look it up on the manufacturer's website -- most laptop hds are somewhere between 50-65C, and processors are somewhere between 75-95C if relatively modern equipment | 20:04 |
| Leonidas_ | anyone know how to change ubuntu to xubuntu? is it even worth changing? or should i just reinstall? | 20:04 |
| hwilde | !xubuntu | Leonidas_ | 20:04 |

| hwilde | Leonidas_, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 20:04 |
| soundray | Leonidas_: you can do a 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'. After that, you can choose a Xubuntu session at the gdm login screen. | 20:04 |
| Vinni3 | nibsa1242b: 95C? | 20:05 |
| Vadi | How can I copy a folder from another drive onto my main one with the proper permissions? | 20:05 |

| nibsa1242b | Vinni3: yes, 95 degrees Celsius | 20:05 |
| Leonidas_ | hwilde ok great. the problem that i have had with that before is that both desktops seem to get confused | 20:05 |
| Vlet | Salvationist: yeah, I'm pretty sure you can't do that. | 20:05 |
| LSG | crash91: Try uninstalling it, and in a terminal type sudo aptitude install emerald | 20:05 |
| Salvationist | Vlet, hmmm | 20:05 |

| Vinni3 | fan controller? | 20:07 |
| danbhfive | loufoque: build-essentials maybe | 20:07 |
| soundray | Leonidas_: I don't think so. Your machine is more than adequate for gnome. | 20:07 |
| stefg | loufoque: sudo apt-get build-dep | 20:07 |
| Salvationist | Vlet, i can't even rename that folder which bugs me | 20:07 |
| loufoque | thanks. | 20:07 |
| loufoque | stefg | 20:07 |
| Vlet | Salvationist: you shoudl be able to. right click on the desktop item and copyu it's properties into the new menu item | 20:07 |
| Leonidas_ | soundtray, that's what i though as well, it runs very clunky though | 20:07 |
| soundray | Leonidas_: if it was my machine, I'd run memtest86 overnight to see if the RAM is faulty. | 20:07 |
| mysterycool | hey | 20:08 |
| Leonidas_ | soundtray, yeah that's a good idea | 20:08 |
| mysterycool | what are the differences between ubuntu 8.04 and gutsy? | 20:08 |
| Leonidas_ | soundtray i may do that | 20:08 |
| soundray | Leonidas_: also check temperatures (acpi -V) and CPU frequency | 20:08 |
| mooselix | Good day, #ubuntu. | 20:08 |
| Leonidas_ | soundtray ok let me try that | 20:08 |

| Vadi | mysterycool: or you can get another one yourself easily | 20:12 |
| Girltalk | Vinni3: the mac approach to cooling solutions is making computers out of stuff that can get really hot. | 20:12 |
| mysterycool | sbga: when windows pops up a blue screen, it means that windows are dead | 20:12 |

| mojo | adelejjeh:: changing the video driver counts as monkeying around... don't mean it in a derogatory way... :) | 20:44 |
| adelejjeh | and i cant open X, im on windows now... | 20:44 |
| adelejjeh | hehe | 20:44 |
| tmapj | can someone tell me how to automatically run a command on startup? | 20:44 |
| danbhfive | cpt: I think you should try launchpad.net | 20:44 |
| h00k | cpt: if it's an I/O Error, I'd check to make sure your HDD is okay. | 20:44 |
| ror | tmapj, it depends where about on startup you want | 20:45 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: well we can find out the name of the opensource nvidia package (i'm on ati gear), and you can re-install that from the command line | 20:45 |
| adelejjeh | and it should work? | 20:45 |
| tesseracter | h00k, yeah, firebug didnt have any formatting and would only work in its own window for me. wierd right? | 20:45 |
| tmapj | ror: what do you mean "where about"? | 20:45 |
| h00k | tesseracter: yeah, this is curious | 20:45 |
| Fuorezzaa | ciao | 20:45 |

| thinkingfrog | anyone know how to fix a problem with the "gdm" screen being so large you can't see where to type your username/password? | 20:46 |
| h00k | cpt: usually that means something is wrong with your HDD, check fror S.M.A.R.T. errors, | 20:46 |
| h00k | cpt: try some different diagnostic utils on it | 20:46 |

| ariqs | the only way I have been able to get connected to the net is with wvdial in a terminal. One of my problems is that I have two modems installed on this computer, and it finds the modem I don't want to use because it's not as stable and connects at a slower baud. | 21:02 |
| soundray | AzizLight: did you attempt to install Ubuntu into a Parallels virtual machine then? Or did you download a pre-installed image? | 21:02 |

| soundray | AzizLight: if you want to try Ubuntu in Parallels, you should tell Parallels to boot the Desktop CD. If you want to put Ubuntu on your Bootcamp partition, you should restart your Mac and boot directly from the Desktop CD (have it in the drive and hold down the C key) | 21:06 |
| ariqs | the only way I have been able to get connected to the net is with wvdial in a terminal. One of my problems is that I have two modems installed on this computer, and it finds the modem I don't want to use because it's not as stable and connects at a slower baud. How can I make wvdial configure skip this modem to find the other? | 21:06 |
| adelejjeh | ya | 21:06 |
| mojo | johannal:: you have another ffox window open somewhere? close the one, and then use ps aux |grep firefox at a command line | 21:06 |
| adelejjeh | it dint recognize the X | 21:06 |
| mojo | johannal:: if ffox is truly closed, you'll only see the match to your own command, no others | 21:06 |
| ariqs | . | 21:06 |
| ackbahr | Let's turn it differently : if I have a bunch of issues with my Hardy upgrade, is there a way to do it again, to maybe "clean up" the problems? Or maybe from a install CD? | 21:06 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: what do u think i shld do? | 21:07 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: well i wasn't meaning for you to test that, i was just askin what you meant about logging into x as root... that should be disabled | 21:07 |
| shadowpool | Quick question: Someone had a bad ram stick and repeatedly crashed his Ubuntu box. The ext3 filesystem is all sorts of messed up. Is it better to run fsck first, then back up data? Or back up data then run fsck, then back up again (in case some corruption is fixed?) | 21:07 |
| basvg | ackbahr: iirc the install cd has a recovery option... that might be what you're looking for (never had to use it though) | 21:07 |

| mojo | adelejjeh:: i don't know the nvidia driver's name, but we can try to figure that out and put it back how it was. i don't have nvidia gear so i don't know the ins and outs of the proprietary driver | 21:07 |
| johannal | mojo: when I do ps aux I do see FF even though I don't have it running | 21:07 |
| DJones | ariqs: this is it, just ask your question | 21:08 |
| genii | ariqs: You are in it | 21:08 |
| AzizLight | soundray: I heard that I could boot other partitions directely from parallels. So for instance now I have an ubuntu partition (that I can boot normally if I restard my mac), and what I tried to do is to boot to ubuntu directly using parallels from osx | 21:08 |
| soundray | shadowpool: it's probably best to image the partition in question with partimage or similar, then to run fsck on it. | 21:08 |

| ariqs | DJones: I have asked in here and I get no response ;P I thought there might be a better channel. this one is giant and spammy | 21:08 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: guide me through it... what should i do? | 21:08 |

| adelejjeh | i386 | 21:09 |
| AzizLight | soundray: I thinks the new version support that...but I'm not sure | 21:09 |
| DJones | ariqs: its just busy, this is the best place to ask, it might just take time for somebody who knows the answer to notice the question and have time to help | 21:09 |
| soundray | tmapj: not if you run it from rc.local. Enter it without the 'sudo; part | 21:09 |
| soundray | tmapj: not if you run it from rc.local. Enter it without the 'sudo' part | 21:09 |

| tmapj | soundray what was the name of the file again pls? | 21:09 |
| crdlb | forevertheuni: put nv in DISABLED_MODULES in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common | 21:09 |
| johannal | mojo: ok..so I confirmed that I don't have any other FF instances open...but still if I click on the launcher instead of just opening FF and having an arrow under the icon...I get a completely new icon/instance in teh dock....which I don't get e.g. with the terminal | 21:09 |
| shadowpool | soundray: Is it bad to mount a partition that has a broken file system? Would it be harmful to attempt a backup on said file system? | 21:09 |

| soundray | AzizLight: apparently it doesn't support it so well... | 21:09 |
| johannal | mojo: that only happens with the terminal e.g. if I actually have two terminals opened | 21:10 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: so tell me when u find smtg | 21:10 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: and thx | 21:10 |

| mojo | adelejjeh:: i already found the package name | 21:10 |

| sparkybean | hi all. I have ubuntu installed on this laptop, which accesses the Internet wirelessly just fine, and i have a desktop computer connected to the laptop (via a crossover Ethernet cable) that i want to be able to access the Internet through the laptop. Can it be done? | 21:10 |
| soundray | shadowpool: it's definitely safest to image it first. Then you're not lost, even if fsck fails | 21:10 |
| trond- | ackbahr: if you have a spare disk you could copy it on to that, or a memory stick or something. Or burn those important stuff on a CD. | 21:10 |
| paule | ariqs: you might find it calmer and just as useful to ask in one of the forums... You'd have to take all the time to write down all that is important | 21:11 |
| johannal | mojo: nope | 21:11 |
| Lifeisfynny | Is there a file to install for removing DRM (Digital Rights Management) on an audiobook file? | 21:11 |
| johannal | mojo: same thing | 21:11 |
| shadowpool | soundray: Thanks! | 21:11 |
| forevertheuni | yes sparky | 21:11 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: if you're logged in at the recovery console, you are root and your prompt will be a hash (#) instead of the dollar sign ($) you get when you're logged in as a regular user | 21:11 |
| ackbahr | trond-: But some of those I don't even remember where they are.... :( | 21:11 |
| forevertheuni | sparkybean, you have to enable masquerading on laptop to the wireless device | 21:11 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: right | 21:11 |
| forevertheuni | and have the default route at desktop | 21:11 |
| soundray | tmapj: it's /etc/rc.local . You are straining my patience. It's just plain lazy not to write down something like that. | 21:11 |
| sparkybean | how do i do that forevertheuni? | 21:11 |
| mojo | johannal:: well you got me bud. see if there is an awn-specific channel, or seek out their user forums, wiki, or bug tracker maybe | 21:12 |
| dimisdas | I installed VirtualBox in Ubuntu 32bit 7.10 and worked fine. When i upgraded to ubuntu 8 VirtualBox told me to install some packages that had to do with kernel.

| forevertheuni | sparkybean, check pvt | 21:12 |
| trond- | ackbahr: settings could be in the /etc directory. Anyway. If you spend time on doing that part of the job before you wipe the disk, you should have a good chance of getting your system up to what it was. | 21:12 |
| tmapj | soundray sorry, and how do you edit it? | 21:12 |
| johannal | mojo: alright...thanks though | 21:12 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: next? | 21:12 |
| soundray | tmapj: fed up now, bye. | 21:12 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: oka, well as root you need to: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.messed-up | 21:13 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: i used .messed-up to be sure you get a unique name for the backup file, not overwriting another .backup that we might need later | 21:13 |
| shadowpool | tmapj, what's up? | 21:13 |
| forevertheuni | sparkybean, ???? | 21:13 |
| adelejjeh | mojo:so i just type this in the prompt and it will work? | 21:14 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: after you back up your xorg.conf file, then: aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nv | 21:14 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: if yo are root. if you are your own user, put "sudo " in front of both command lines i gave you | 21:14 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: no i would be root | 21:14 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: sudo means super-user-do, to run programs with root permissions | 21:14 |

| noelferreira | trond-, i don't have the paramter anymore. i had it in the beta version but now with a fresh install i don't even have the on-battery tab on power settings | 21:26 |
| trond- | dimisdas: if you don't have any important stuff or settings on your machine, I would wipe everything. | 21:26 |
| Dvyjones | Pusur: Are you norwegian? | 21:27 |
| Dvyjones | I am getting disconnected from my wireless network ab. every 2 minutes using bcm4306 card. Any idea how to fix it? | 21:27 |

| big-g | does anyone use nvidia's twinview with tv out? | 21:27 |
| Pusur | Yes, I am. | 21:27 |
| mojo | bladerunne1:: yeah, i did miss that, you dissappeared from my network segment on irc for a sec, cuz i could not tab-complete your name just then | 21:27 |
| ejer | devlogic: grub did not correctly guess your hard drives | 21:27 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: i couldnt back up... it is giving me no such file or directory | 21:27 |
| dimisdas | trond-: Is this the only thing i can do? reinstall everything? | 21:27 |
| iKar | My graphic card says not in use how to make it go in use | 21:27 |
| trond- | noelferreira: is your laptop charging? go to System / Preferences / Power Management - Uncheck Dim display when Idle | 21:27 |
| dthacker-work | hi! Is there gnome based music player that scrobbles songs to last.fm as amarok does? | 21:27 |

| Girindor | @dthacker-work yes there is, rhythmbox | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Girindor: Error: "dthacker-work" is not a valid command. | 21:28 |
| bitsbam | trond, i think banshee does that | 21:28 |
| trond- | dimisdas: It would be the sense thing to do I think. Sometimes that is the best approach in stead of using hours and hours on trying to fix something. | 21:28 |
| stroyan | melter: You could try commenting out "send host-name "<hostname>";" from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf so it doesn't tell before asking. | 21:28 |
| noelferreira | trond-, it happens when it is not charging | 21:28 |
| mephorash | :) | 21:28 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: i couldnt back up... it is giving me no such file or directory | 21:28 |
| Girindor | dthacker-work: rhythmbox can do that | 21:28 |
| ejer | devlogic: grub needs to be helped sometimes, using grub-install /dev/sdx will usually do it | 21:28 |
| Russel-Athletic | hiho | 21:28 |

| Girindor | activate the lastfm plugin | 21:28 |
| dthacker-work | Grindor: tnx, I'll give it a look. :) | 21:28 |
| devlogic | working with the official Hardy hd-media installer, haven't gotten it to boot yet. | 21:28 |

| noelferreira | trond-, it happens always and i had to disable acpi. i'm just asking if there's other options. like go around with script files in the acpi settings | 21:29 |
| iKar | y graphic card says not in use how to make it go in use | 21:29 |
| devlogic | so no grub-install yet | 21:29 |

| dthacker-work | !hotkeys | 21:29 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:29 |

| Danish989 | hi everyone | 21:32 |

| big-g | bitsbam, i have a nvidia card....sorry | 21:33 |
| adelejjeh | mojo:cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf/etc/X11/xorg.conf.messed-up | 21:33 |
| trond- | dimisdas: seems that there are some settings or something else that is causing you problem. check for virtualbox or something in /var/log/messages | 21:33 |
| bitsbam | big-g, which Ubuntu version, 8.04? | 21:33 |
| big-g | bitsbam, you can email me your xorg.conf? | 21:33 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: cp is the command, then space, then /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the source file (with path), THEN SPACE, then /etc/X11/xorg.conf.messed-up is the destination file. | 21:33 |
| trond- | Dvyjones: have you tried to use the windows drivers. Don't remember program to use, but there is one. | 21:33 |

| Nergar | thanx | 21:33 |
| Girindor | bujar: hm, ubuntu 8.04 is a bit buggy when it comes to sound... try doing alsamixer in the terminal and bringing all the volume controls up | 21:34 |

| bitsbam | well, i am not twin-view anymore, however, it may still help | 21:34 |
| dimisdas | trond-: I think theres a package that has to do with the ubuntu kernel. That package provides virtualbox-ose module (vboxdrv.ko) for the | 21:34 |
| dimisdas | 2.6.24-16-386 kernel. | 21:34 |
| Girindor | Nergar: try Synkron (you can find it on sourceforge) | 21:34 |
| bitsbam | big-g, what distro? | 21:34 |
| melter | strongarm, yes | 21:34 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: hehe ok it finished the installing | 21:34 |

| adelejjeh | mojo: ill reboot? | 21:35 |

| mojo | adelejjeh:: done | 21:35 |

| jasperarcher | Hello all, I have a question about 8.04 that I just installed. I installed from USB stick (physical damage to CD-ROM drive) onto my toshiba laptop. And it installed OK I think -- graphics look good, wireless works fine. My problem is that when I try to boot directly from my hard disk it hangs on a black screen with "GRUB _" on it and that's it. However, if I boot via USB, and then choose the option "load from hard | 21:37 |
| jasperarcher | drive" it boots up fine. I posted more detailed information about this problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776236 any help would be much appreciated. | 21:37 |

| thatsnotjack | I just upgraded to hardy, but there's processes called kapcid and kapcid_notify which hog up 99% of cpu all the time. I added acpi=off to my kernel line on /boot/grub/menu.lst, but that breaks my internet connection. Is there any other way to keep these processes from bogging down my machine? | 21:41 |
| MatthewAPeters | tyrone - I had no problem with favorites after upgrade | 21:41 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: btw isnt what's happenin to me wierd? | 21:41 |
| mojo | RandyboY:: it WAS, though I have not run xmms in a long time. i use amarok and audacious | 21:42 |
| Vlet | tyrone: All those settings are stored in a hidden directory named ~/.mozilla | 21:42 |
| forevertheuni | what the application name of the new ubuntu firewall? | 21:42 |

| adelejjeh | mojo: do u think that it might not be freezing, its just slow? | 21:42 |
| trond- | dimisdas: it's worth a shot, but then again, it could break your whole system. Do a search or a question in the forum and ask what people think... | 21:42 |
| MatthewAPeters | maybe copy your /home/~ to a card or something | 21:43 |
| Danish989 | doesn't anyone have any solutions for the BusyBox problem?? | 21:43 |

Suggestions? | 21:43 |
| dimisdas | trond-: Thank you. Will have a try. | 21:43 |
| Vlet | Danish989: Maybe take your problem to the forums, or search them first for others with the same problem. | 21:43 |

| dimisdas | trond-: i think removing the kernel its a big risk without being sure about it :P | 21:44 |

| norsetto | desowin: open an upgrade request bug in LP | 21:44 |
| Danish989 | Vlet: I've searched there already an no one seems to have found any solution | 21:44 |
| george | Please help Is it real this "Ubuntu crash your notebook Hdd"? | 21:44 |
| Vlet | desowin: ahh. Maybe ask in #ubuntu-devel | 21:45 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: though i do know they exist :p | 21:45 |
| Danish989 | george: I don't think so | 21:45 |
| Prez00 | so, any of the bug updates made it into hardy repositories yet? | 21:45 |
| weaseal | hey i have an issue, whenever X restarts, the computer freezes | 21:45 |
| george | xaxa me too | 21:45 |
| Danish989 | We need a BusyBox channel like we have one for Grub problems ..... | 21:45 |
| weaseal | ie, whenever i log out of one wm to switch to another, issue a ctrl alt backspace, etc | 21:45 |
| basvg | just bought a sony camcorder with hd .... suppose I'd plug it into my hardy box... what'll happen? will it pop up as harddisk? | 21:45 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: what should i do now? it gave me a dotted grey screen, and no mouse is there yet :s | 21:45 |
| george | but i read lokal magazine and the write this... | 21:45 |
| RandyboY | mojo, is it capable to play files shared over lan from a windows machine? | 21:45 |
| melter | where can i find documentation on how to get one of the various dhcp clients working? | 21:45 |
| Danish989 | basvg: Yes, that is what should happen | 21:45 |
| george | but i read local magazine and they write this... | 21:45 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: if you use ctrl-alt-f1 thru ctrl-alt-f6 you can get to the other "virtual terminals". text logins. X runs on VT7, so you get back to it with ctrl-alt-f7 | 21:45 |
| trond- | dimisdas: good luck :) | 21:46 |
| basvg | Danish989: cool. easier than I thought even ;) | 21:46 |
| Danish989 | george: I don't see how Ubuntu can crash laptop hdds' | 21:46 |
| MatthewAPeters | I just upgraded to Heron and cannot get twinview or high-res working again. Card is Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT. Logs show a lot of junk about VESA loading. Tried Envy. Tried nvidia-xconfig. About a zillion times. Any ideas? | 21:46 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: how long should i w8 after pressing ctrl alt f7? | 21:46 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: if you log in on another text console and run top you can see which proceses are running and sort by mem usage, cpu, etc. if it's slow, you can watch top while x loads up and starts and see what is at the top of the lists | 21:46 |
| trond- | dimisdas: I totally agree with you. that's why I suggest going for the reinstall route. If you had /home in a partition on it's own, you could decide not to format that partition during the installation of 8.04 | 21:47 |
| Danish989 | george: there is a problem, if you install it on a SATA harddisk, the bios gets confused between partitions and the Grub loader doesn't know where to load ubuntu from | 21:47 |
| adelejjeh | mojo | 21:47 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: if you are in X nothing will happen cuz you're already in VT7. try CTRL-ALT-F1 and see if that immediately switches (like maybe 1 second) | 21:47 |

| Danish989 | simman: did you try running the cd on another computer? and are you sure you have the boot priorities right? | 21:48 |

| whiteeagle | can this be fixed? | 21:49 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: so? | 21:49 |
| amidaniel | simman: Okay .. have you tried loading it on a different machine? | 21:49 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: should i reboot and go to the recovery console again? | 21:50 |
| j0nr | vlet I am trying to mount and keep getting mount error 20 - not a directory | 21:50 |
| Vlet | george: sometimes people do silly things, and would rather blame the OS than themself | 21:50 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: well if you are stuck on the grey screen, there was hope of logging in on another virtual terminal console and using the command line to shut down x again and try to fix it some more. | 21:50 |
| simman | amidaniel: I'd rather not try that on my parents' machine, which is the only other one in this house. I don't have an available system to try it on. | 21:50 |

| J-Unit | i have the show offline ppl plugin for pidgin enabled but how do i choose the person i want to be shown even when offline? | 21:51 |
| amidaniel | simman: I'd suggesting burning it onto a new disc, and be sure you're not burning it as if the iso is a file on the disc, but rather the iso is the actual partition on the disc | 21:51 |
| j0nr | vlet: yes | 21:51 |
| MatthewAPeters | whiteagle: this is common and can be fixed | 21:51 |
| simman | amidaniel: How would I burn the iso as a partition with Nero? | 21:51 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: well if you're at a grey screen stuck, try ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X. If that doesn't work, tell me if your numlock toggles or not so i know if the keboard is responding or locked too | 21:51 |
| manifest_ | starnestommy: let me see | 21:51 |

| ariqs | how do I know that? :P | 21:52 |
| Vlet | j0nr: hmm, make sure you have write permissions for it (/media/nas that is) | 21:52 |
| stroyan | melter: Actually, looking at /sbin/dhclient-script on an ubuntu system, It seems like you may just need to empty out /etc/hostname to get it to use the DHCP hostname. | 21:52 |
| amidaniel | simman: I'm not familiar with nero personally ... there's likely a specific option to burn an iso | 21:52 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: very nice indeed, the scrool lock isnt lighting, my computer is completely freezed :D | 21:52 |
| MatthewAPeters | whiteagle: go into your Network Manager, and add your host name as an alias to localhost | 21:52 |

| j0nr | vlet: aha! cannot save a file to it | 21:53 |
| shadowpool | Anyone know a command to list available (unmounted) partitions and or harddisks? | 21:53 |
| Vlet | j0nr: actually, just creating the file will be enough to check | 21:53 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: not the best sign. well, still, you can try a proper emergency shut down. this will be handy in future if your linux box ever "freezes". Sometimes it works, sometimes not.. | 21:53 |
| j0nr | vlet: how do i change permissions? | 21:53 |
| whiteeagle | MatthewAPeters: I can unlock it | 21:53 |

| adelejjeh | mojo: ok.. im in recovery console... what should i do? | 21:54 |
| tonyyarusso | ariqs: Usually you can just hit enter and use the default. You will likely need either the linux-headers or linux-source package. | 21:54 |
| manifest_ | starnestommy: i belive its sda1 | 21:54 |
| Starnestommy | zack_: yes | 21:55 |
| stroyan | melter: There is a little blog about gentoo to ubuntu at http://www.len.ro/work/tools/from-gentoo-to-ubuntu-on-a-dell-i8600 . I suspect that it is too easy to have a lot of documentation anywhere. ;-) | 21:55 |
| Vlet | j0nr: "ls -l" will give you a full listing showing permissions, etc | 21:55 |
| Starnestommy | manifest_: is ubuntu on sda5? | 21:55 |
| zack_ | ok, because im wonder why my core 1 load is higher then core 2 | 21:55 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: do CTRL-SYSRQ/PRNTSCRN-R folowed by CTL-SRQ-E CTRL-SRQ-I CTRL-SRQ-S CTRL-SRQ-U CTRL-SRQ-B in that order, and give a second between each. | 21:55 |
| j0nr | vlet: sorry that was in the wrong window | 21:55 |
| ThomPhoenix | jrib: I understand none of that. Why can't I use a window and enter my password to have access to it? | 21:55 |
| chris_420 | doesn't the sys use primarily one core then switch the other on when need be? | 21:55 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: should it be capital? | 21:56 |
| Vlet | j0nr: yeah, figured ;) | 21:56 |
| manifest_ | starnestommy: yes, and solaris on sda6 | 21:56 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: control-sysrequest-r (sysrq is on the print-screen key) will make the kernel pay attention to the keyboard, E will end some processes, I will end others, S will SYNC YOUR HARD DISK (important!), U will re-mount the discs as read-only, and B will do a hard re-boot | 21:56 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: no capitals | 21:56 |
| j0nr | vlet: still error 20 - not a directory | 21:56 |
| jrib | ThomPhoenix: you asked how to change ownership right? | 21:56 |
| ariqs | tonyyarusso: now it's asking me to enter the modem's region name. HUH? | 21:56 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: so while pressing ctrl-sysrq the sequence is R-E-I-S-U-B | 21:57 |
| j0nr | vlet: confused as to what my username would be for the NAS...assuming it is just admin, which i use to enter the setup of the drive | 21:57 |
| manifest_ | starnestommy how come? | 21:57 |
| helicopterrun | how do i change permissions | 21:57 |
| ThomPhoenix | jrib: All I know is that I have partition that I can't put files on. When I checked permissions on right-click menu it showed "owned by root". | 21:57 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: be sure to count to five after the S so the discs can sync and not be in a corrupted state after reboot | 21:57 |
| tonyyarusso | ariqs: what are you compiling? | 21:57 |
| jrib | ThomPhoenix: k, what's the first thing on the wiki page that doesn't make sense to you? | 21:57 |
| chris_420 | anybody know anything about using mondo or mindi for back up purposes? | 21:57 |
| ariqs | tonnyarusso: modem drivers, I figured it out, it just meant what country | 21:57 |
| helicopterrun | pheonix same problem | 21:58 |
| mojo | adelejjeh:: HOWEVER: as your numlock won't work, it is very possible that it is locked so hard it won't do that magic. but it is handy to put in your notes and TRY every time (EVERY) before just hitting the reset button | 21:58 |
| manifest_ | starnestommy how come? | 21:58 |
| melter | stroyan, thanks, i'm looking at moving gentoo servers | 21:58 |
| Starnestommy | manifest_: try http://paste.ubuntu.com/9029/ | 21:58 |

| adelejjeh | mojo: i told u im in console again :P i dont need that anymore!! | 21:58 |

| chris_420 | amidaniel: mondoarchives states there could be an issue with burning directly to dvd which is why i chose this route | 22:10 |
| adelejjeh | mojo: the ubuntu thingy | 22:10 |
| Vlet | j0nr: I don't know exactly why that works either, but it seems that there is a 'linux extension' feature to the cifs software that makes it unable to communicate with some NAS devices | 22:10 |
| amidaniel | chris_420: Well, you could use cdrecord at the command line or simply select the file in Nautilus, right-click on it, and select burn iso | 22:10 |

| imac | I'm thinking about building my own computer and putting Ubuntu or Kubuntu on it. Stuff like the motherboard comes with driver cds, but they are for Windows only probably. How will I make sure I get everything out of the nvidia video card, motherboard, professor, whatever? | 22:36 |
| coldfire | Simonft: considering exchanging it for a wmp54g instead, but am afraid of the same problems | 22:36 |
| ibleed | imac, drivers are built into the kernel which gets updated and there is also the option to use restricted drivers (no source code released) from the repositories | 22:37 |

| ibleed | Fogel1497, that was fixed with me in hardy when i installed libflashsupport though from what people tell me its very buggy | 22:38 |

| Ruudboy73 | Good evening all | 22:39 |
| Fogel1497 | thanks iBleed ill give it a try | 22:39 |
| imac | ibleed: So you're saying that I don't need the cds? Do I just google "Intel D975XBX2 Motherboard + Ubuntu" and see if I get any its? Are you saying it should just be included with Ubuntu 8.04 and not to worry? | 22:39 |
| keaton | Simonft: heavy admin work, I need to adjust system-wide settings. Besides, we use root on all our other servers without a problem, it's just more convenient. | 22:39 |

| keaton | Starnestommy: granted, this is true, but this server will be inaccessable from the internet anyway. | 22:40 |
| Simonft | just make yourself admin and use su | 22:40 |
| Slix | since upgrading to 8.04 i've had weird wireless issues | 22:40 |
| ibleed | imac you'd google "D9765BX2 ubuntu" keeping things simple helps alot if that doesn't come up with anything find the chipset and see if that chipset is supported | 22:40 |
| Simonft | Slix: let me guess, the wireless card is a broadcom | 22:40 |
| imac | and the netgear wireless adapter and all? I just have to google everything? | 22:40 |
| Slix | unsure to be honest. used to work fine on 7.04 | 22:40 |

| AlabamaHit | what is ubuntu studio? | 22:46 |
| madmoomix | It's assuredly the weirdest problem I've ever seen any distro have. | 22:46 |
| svl | Something in Ubuntu 8.04 is preventing the assignment of win-L e.a. keyboard shortcuts from performing the action I associated with them under system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts. These assignments _do_ work under Kubuntu 8.04. Anyone have any idea where I could look to find out what it taking up those shortcuts? | 22:46 |
| sevenfoot | ubuntu studio is setup for audio/graphics/movies only with low latency kernel | 22:47 |

| madmoomix | So, anyone else? Somehow, a bad install of Ubuntu made my computer unable to boot the kernal on the live CD, despite functioning fine everywhere else. | 22:48 |
| sevenfoot | terratec | 22:48 |
| mojo | AlabamaHit:: my bad, it is "sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop" to get the ubuntu studio themes and apps installed | 22:48 |
| AlabamaHit | mojo: So its a brand of Ubutnu like Kubuntu and Mint and such? And if i install it will it be added as a Session? Cause I like my Ubuntu the way it is I wouldnt want to mess it up. | 22:48 |

| Gun_Smoke | madmoomix: errr.. burn another.. | 22:49 |
| madmoomix | Gun_Smoke, yes. And every time, I check it. Always comes out fine. | 22:49 |
| mojo | AlabamaHit:: it is a meta-package defining different artwork and a different set of applications. but you will still have your old programs intact. | 22:49 |
| svl | Gun_Smoke: I've assigned them there. But they don't work. (That is, if I set "Search" to Mod4+R, it does work, but if I choose Mod4+F, it doesn't.) | 22:49 |
| Simonft | sbox: use nautilus | 22:49 |
| madmoomix | And for good measure, I had someone else burn a copy, just in case. Still fails the same way. | 22:49 |

| mojo | Larose:: you can install from the cd, which has newer packages. they will all be hardy packages, not gutsy ones, so that should not be a problem. now after you install from that, the next "upgrade" will find newer hardy packages on-line | 22:51 |
| AlabamaHit | mojo: Was that a yes that the Live CDs from synaptic package adds a new session? or do they install over current install also | 22:51 |

| madmoomix | Gun_Smoke, no. I shall try that now, as it seems this place is busy, and I want to get out of your hair XD | 22:53 |
| MrKeuner | omnz0r: nope, but even then shouldn't cpu or memory increase along with the system load average? | 22:53 |
| yjlee | Can someone help me with mediawiki problem? After upgrading to 8.04, mediawiki stopped working. | 22:53 |
| omnz0r | well, it can explain slow response times | 22:53 |

| Simonft | !ndiswrapper | 22:54 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 22:54 |

| LGKeiz | Yeah. 8.04 isn't there. | 22:54 |
| r3n0c | Girltalk, where in there? | 22:54 |
| Simonft | sbox: The mv (MoVe) command will rename/move any file or directory you specify | 22:55 |
| MrKeuner | how can I see which application is causing the increase in system-load-average metric | 22:55 |
| Gun_Smoke | svl: Look at the keyboard option.. Make sure you have the correct keyboard. | 22:55 |
| LGKeiz | There is no ndiswrapper on 8.04 in the doc. | 22:55 |
| sbox | Simonft: so sudo mv test /test/test/test? sorry if this is stupidly simple | 22:55 |

| guest | tyrone, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? | 23:00 |
| svl | Gun_Smoke: I don't really know what I mean - it's the physical "win" key. I _think_ it's <super by default, but if I look at the countless confusing options under layout options -> alt/win key behaviour, I'm not so certain anymore. (changing those doesn't seem to have any effect, either...) | 23:00 |

| tyrone | guest, on command? | 23:04 |
| svl | Gun_Smoke: win-E for "Home folder", win-L for "Lock screen". And absolutely ideally just the win key by itself (so not as a modifier) for "show the panel menu" - but let's consider that a second phase. | 23:04 |

| tyrone | does anyone know how to set emerald my default window decorator? | 23:06 |

| danny6167 | Any one know a command to enable and disable compiz? | 23:07 |
| shyster317 | tyrone do you have fusion icon | 23:08 |
| Gun_Smoke | svl: I have the Gen 105 intel.. And the Windows key is called the Super L key. | 23:08 |
| Judg3_Dr34D | SilverReadman: through Synaptic you remove completely nvidia-glx-new and linux-restricted-modules | 23:08 |
| kitche | danny6167: umm metacity --replace to disable and compiz --replace to enable | 23:08 |
| Gun_Smoke | svl: Have you tried to run gconf? | 23:08 |
| SilverReadman | Then reinstall them through Synaptic? | 23:08 |
| tyrone | guest, E: Couldn't find package gnome-compiz-manager gnome-compiz-manager | 23:08 |

| tyrone | shyster317, i am sorry what do you mean by icon? | 23:09 |
| guest | tyrone, use the one shyster317 said, its called "fusion-icon" | 23:09 |
| paulcross | danny6167, kill the compiz-real process will stop the compiz | 23:09 |
| svl | Gun_Smoke: ah yes, seeing that now - with win/alt default, you can't use the win key as a modifier, and then it's "Super L" | 23:09 |
| reya276 | need to clear an SSH connection but I don't know how | 23:09 |
| tyrone | guest, what is fusion icon? | 23:09 |

| draeath | Is there a way to copy the INPUT from one pulseaudio source, to the OUTPUT of another? IE, i want to hear the microphone input from one card from the speaker out of the other card, but still be able to record from the source. | 23:19 |
| jrib | reya276: delete line 2 in known_hosts... (assuming you aren't paranoid) | 23:19 |
| sergiuu | jrib, only 640 x 480 , 320 x 240 and refrash rate - 50 hz is available | 23:19 |

| hydrogen | jrib: well, thats putting a bad spin on it | 23:20 |
| jrib | reya276: with any text editor | 23:20 |
| xubean | carlos, flash?? why? i have flash.. i can see videos... i just can't play the sound... | 23:20 |
| hydrogen | find out why the key changed | 23:20 |
| sergiuu | i am not going to read this. | 23:20 |
| sp3000 | reya276: so if you have reason to believe some mean person isn't proxying your connection and stealing your passwords and things and the host identification change is benign and such, you can ssh-keygen -R 70.158.34.76 to remove the old identification | 23:20 |
| reya276 | jrib: yes but how do I get to the file | 23:20 |
| sergiuu | i want the graphical tool for configuring X.Org | 23:20 |
| jrib | reya276: ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 23:20 |
| Sylphid|work | danny6167, yea .... unfortuantly the isp skimped and didnt get enough publics to use them in their dhcp pool | 23:20 |
| Gun_Smoke | svl: I don't know.. I don't use them. | 23:20 |
| sergiuu | becouse my screen sucks, is very hard to read something | 23:21 |
| carlos_ | theres a workaround for that, sometimes u can see the video but dont hear anything | 23:21 |

| MrPockets | when configuring Evolution to recieve my gmail account, what do i put on the Gmail settings as an Email address? | 23:21 |
| jrib | reya276: hydrogen is right that you should find out why the key changed. But since you don't know about these things it probably means you didn't really check the original key either so it doesn't really matter | 23:21 |
| sp3000 | reya276: which does the same thing as the manual edit jrib suggests, fwiw | 23:21 |

| Mattevt | Hi guys. I have what should be an easy question for any experienced Ubuntu user (unfortunately I'm not one of them): Websites with embedded WMV videos won't play in firefox. There's got to be a plug-in for this, I just don't know where to find it. (using Hardy) | 23:48 |
| RyanPrior | tarkus: Photoshop CS2 works on Wine if you have a license for it. Inkscape is awesome IMO, it has fewer features than Illustrator but it's got a lot of the bases covered. | 23:48 |
| ariqs | when I open a terminal I'm stuck in my login name-desktop. How do I get to my root file system? I'm sure it's sudo something or other | 23:48 |
| _boto | the problem with "... cannot get pipe ..." comes to my face everytime i try to test the alsa mixer in audio settings | 23:48 |
| tarkus | tarkus: i've been doing just fine with inkscape and blender. but i cant help but wonder if i would have more potential with apple/adobe software. | 23:48 |
| tarkus | RyanPrior: i dont mind few features, caus i only really use the standard toolset. | 23:49 |
| dupin | feistyman : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing | 23:49 |
| jrib | tarkus: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 23:49 |
| _boto | but i can record, somehow the input works, though | 23:49 |
| ariqs | .. tarkus just replied to tarkus ;p | 23:49 |
| stinger05 | which program has windows live messenger voice plugin for ubuntu ? | 23:49 |
| tarkus | jrib: meh.. where else would a question like this be appropriate? | 23:49 |
| jrib | Mattevt: I like mplayer plugin with w32codecs | 23:49 |
| jrib | tarkus: if it's not an ubuntu support question then you should discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:49 |
| RyanPrior | tarkus: Apple and Adobe software are quality, but they're missing a crucial feature: freedom. You're locked into their product, and you can't just go in and add a feature or fix a bug. Many will make that tradeoff, but I'm glad to be able to use programs like Inkscape without having to give up my freedom or a whole lot of quality. | 23:49 |
| paulcross | RyanPrior, I got it fixed | 23:50 |
| a514 | ubotu displayconfiggtk | 23:50 |
| feistyman | dupin, thanks, I'm viewing it now. | 23:50 |
| Girltalk | Mattevt: install VLC and your computer will be able to play anything | 23:50 |
| RyanPrior | paulcross: Excellent. | 23:50 |
| pinklerose | hello | 23:50 |
| dupin | tarkus : adobe photo shop run in wine | 23:50 |
| paulcross | RyanPrior, Back to human theme. Then its normal | 23:50 |
| guest | stinger05, have you tried amsn? | 23:50 |
| _boto | i have tried to build the alsa utils from source | 23:50 |
| Mattevt | girltalk: I have VLC installed...and I can play any video outside of firefox...but these are embedded in the pages | 23:50 |
| Bmw1000c | HEY GUYS, where can i report a bug? | 23:50 |
| _boto | but make breaks with errors complaining about missing 'patch' file | 23:50 |
| tarkus | dupin: yes.. i dont do that.. if im going to use prop software, ill just buy a mac. | 23:50 |
| sergiuu | does anyone use ubuntu 7.10? | 23:50 |
| RyanPrior | paulcross: Strange that a theme change would break things, I think. But I always use human themes. (Human-Murrine is my favorite lately). | 23:50 |
| jrib | sergiuu: ah, were you looking for Adiministration -> Screens and Graphics before? | 23:50 |
| Mattevt | jrib how does mplayer attach itself to firefox? | 23:51 |
| sergiuu | jrib, yes | 23:51 |
| jrib | !bugs | Bmw1000c | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Bmw1000c: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 23:51 |
| _boto | sergiuu: yes i do | 23:51 |
| jrib | sergiuu: it's there in 8.04 | 23:51 |
| AnthroTechie | Bmw1000- go to launchpad | 23:51 |
| Mattevt | i'm new to ubuntu as of two days ago...so I'm just slowly working my way through | 23:51 |
| sergiuu | jrib, but i cant look for it:( | 23:51 |
| stinger05 | guest: does that have voice enabled to talk to windows users ? | 23:51 |
| sergiuu | can you please give me the command so i can run it from terminal | 23:51 |
| dupin | tarkus : yes that is option too | 23:51 |
| jrib | Mattevt: there's a plugin in the mozilla-mplayer package | 23:51 |
| prettyricky | dupin---- it shows that its already installed | 23:51 |
| RyanPrior | Mattevt: Why do you need mplayer rather than gstreamer? | 23:51 |
| Bmw1000c | thanks ubottu and AnthroTechie | 23:51 |
| prettyricky | any other suggestions??? | 23:51 |
| === dougmin is now known as d-min | ||
| tarkus | RyanPrior: do you think it will always be like that? prop software greater quality? | 23:52 |
| Mattevt | ryanprior...it's just what jrib suggested...I'm open to anything | 23:52 |
| guest | stinger05, from wikipedia "Sending and receiving of voice clips (full voice conversation supposedly coming in aMSN 2 or after the program has been upgraded to use a newer protocol)" | 23:52 |
| jrib | sergiuu: displayconfig-gtk | 23:52 |
| xxxxxxx | How do you autologin at terminal I have no gui | 23:52 |
| sergiuu | jrib, its seems that it's missing.. | 23:52 |
| TBotNik | All, Had Gutsy in stand-alone/offline for awhile, then hookup back to inet and the upgrade dissed me, can't network, see inet or nothing, using UGH win box here HELP!!! | 23:52 |
| sergiuu | oeeeeee | 23:52 |
| sergiuu | jrib, thanks a lot | 23:52 |
| sergiuu | :> | 23:52 |
| tarkus | RyanPrior: cause i mean, look at apache, and all the open web frameworks out there. far superior to the commercial ones. | 23:52 |
| RyanPrior | tarkus: No way. Look at Transana for example: it is *the* premier qualitative video analysis software suite, blows all commercial outfits out of the water. And it's GPL. | 23:52 |
| arooni-mobile | is there a remote desktop type thing built into ubuntu gutsy? if so whats it called & how do i get to it? | 23:52 |
| handtokeyboard | NOT SOUND ON MY UBUNTU | 23:53 |
| handtokeyboard | :( | 23:53 |
| jrib | tarkus: move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, I don't see how it's related to support | 23:53 |
| ebroder | What can I do about this traceback when I try to upgrade: http://pastebin.com/m2fd3b806 ? | 23:53 |
| RyanPrior | handtokeyboard: Easy on the caps lock there, guy. | 23:53 |

| arooni-mobile | guerby, TBotNik i want to visually control things like xmms (browing to a shoutcast station and pushing play) | 23:53 |
| doc|work | hello, I've just upgraded to hardy heron and it installed firefox 3 beta which doesn't have support for firebug, a javascript debugger. Firefox 2 is still installed and works but isn't allowing plygins which had been working to work. Anyone know how to fix this? | 23:54 |
| arooni-mobile | guest, TBotNik from my gutsy laptop | 23:54 |
| sergiuu | jrib, this tool is missing in hardy, i mean in system / administration , don't know why.. | 23:54 |
| sergiuu | but the command work. | 23:54 |
| RyanPrior | tarkus: The thing about Transana is that qualitative video analysis is a fairly new field, so corporations didn't have such a head start. In other fields, like word processing, it's much harder to compete with the entrenched players. | 23:54 |
| arooni-mobile | guerby, TBotNik both my laptop (connecting from) and my desktop (connecting to) are on same network | 23:54 |
| TBotNik | arooni-mobile: My bad, use www.logmein.com | 23:54 |
| jrib | sergiuu: it's called "screens and Graphics" here | 23:54 |
| _DarkSide_ | hola? | 23:54 |
| arooni-mobile | TBotNik, isnt there a remote desktop program built into gutsy? i thought i used it before | 23:55 |
| sergiuu | jrib, can't look for it. | 23:55 |
| Mattevt | RyanPrior, it doesn't appear that gstreamer is available for ubuntu. at least, where I'm looking | 23:55 |
| guest | arooni-mobile, try installing xvnc4viewer | 23:55 |
| sergiuu | it's not there | 23:55 |
| sergiuu | ;> | 23:55 |
| Mattevt | oh sorry I didn't see those responses | 23:55 |
| Mattevt | thanks | 23:55 |
| sergiuu | jrib, i can do an screenshots | 23:55 |
| KrimZon | something weird happened | 23:55 |

| jrib | belor1: yes | 23:56 |
| KrimZon | visiting the article linked from this slashdot page in firefox3 caused x to restart: http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/30/1822237 | 23:56 |

| xelapond | Hi | 23:56 |
| xelapond | I am having problems installing Hardy on my Macbook Pro | 23:57 |
| guest | arooni-mobile, if you press Alt+F4 you can type in vnc4viewr to launch it | 23:57 |
| prettyricky | is there anything else better than frostwire? | 23:57 |
| TBotNik | arooni-mobile: Worst part is hav'n to use Win box to find the problem! | 23:57 |
| Bizzeh | hey, i just installed ubuntu, and im getting grub error 17 on boot now... anyone any idea whats happened? | 23:57 |
| jrib | prettyricky: "better" is subjective | 23:57 |
| AnthroTechie | I've been having a problem since upgrading to Hardy. Can't enable desktop effects in the "Visual Effects" tab in System-Preferences. When I try to a pop window says "Desktop Effects could not be enabled." I already installed Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. | 23:57 |
| doc|work | anyone? | 23:57 |
| crdlb | AnthroTechie: what video card? | 23:57 |
| jrib | !p2p > prettyricky (read the private message from ubotu) | 23:57 |
| TBotNik | All, are there any note on why this upgrade is making things go south? | 23:57 |
| RyanPrior | jrib: Frostwire is pretty much the state of the art when it comes to Gnutella clients. | 23:57 |
| Sashi | stojic: RAWR | 23:57 |
| prettyricky | sorry--- another application similar to frostwire? | 23:58 |
| arooni-mobile | guest, i dont follow...... i'm running gutsy on my laptop & desktop and want to connect from laptop => desktop.... i'm asking where do i find the vnc4viewer (so i dont need to launch from command line)....... also should i use terminal server client? | 23:58 |
| evaryont | Sashi! | 23:58 |
| Sashi | evaryont! | 23:58 |
| AnthroTechie | crdlb- I'm unsure what type of video card I have | 23:58 |
| jrib | prettyricky: ubottu sent you a list in a private message | 23:58 |
| grte | phrik! | 23:58 |
| apallo | i realize this is an ubernoob question, but how do i make my ubuntu install look like os x? | 23:58 |
| Sashi | grte! | 23:58 |
| vox | hi, why isnt XMMS in the repos any more? | 23:58 |
| Sashi | apallo: RTFM | 23:58 |
| grte | apallo: Best bet is googling some guids. | 23:58 |
| prettyricky | cool ty | 23:58 |
| crdlb | AnthroTechie: open a terminal and run: lspci | grep -i vga | 23:58 |
| grte | s/guids/guides | 23:58 |
| Dream_Team | apallo: If you are on kde, try baghira | 23:59 |
| AnthroTechie | crdlb- okay | 23:59 |
| arooni-mobile | should i use terminal server clinet? | 23:59 |
| Sashi | Dream_Team! | 23:59 |
| stojic | I like Hardly but I have no sound in my speakers | 23:59 |
| apallo | thanks | 23:59 |
| sandsmark | Dream_Team! | 23:59 |
| guest | arooni-mobile, when you install xvnc4viewer it doesnt put it in your applications menu but you can add it yourself by going to System -> Preferences -> System Menu | 23:59 |
| grte | stojic: is your speakers plugged in? | 23:59 |
| evaryont | OMG! sandsmark and Dream_Team are here?!? HEART ATTACK! | 23:59 |
