| desneedy | Please. | 00:00 |
| antibody | ubuntu__, don't download from nvidia.com | 00:00 |
| ubuntu__ | i dont get that | 00:00 |
| sef | antibody> the md5sum only checks that the iso is good. | 00:00 |
| ubuntu__ | what | 00:00 |
| antibody | sef, ...yeps...that's why I need it | 00:00 |
| ubuntu__ | where do i download it | 00:00 |
| sydlex | Scunizi: i am booting directly from the livecd and when i get to busybox i have no idea what to do, all i can think of is ./init :-P | 00:00 |
| mysterycool | ububtu__: hi | 00:01 |
| hischild | ubuntu__: WHAT are you trying to install? | 00:01 |
| antibody | ubuntu__, just type "sudo synaptic" in a console | 00:01 |
| ubuntu__ | a nivida driver | 00:01 |
| mysterycool | ubuntu__: oh | 00:01 |
| Malaz | jmiller_: No problem. Compiz uses its own system of virtual desktops, independent of GNOME's. GNOME's desktops control the number of faces on the 'cube', and Compiz's control number of cubes. | 00:01 |
| antibody | and search for "nvidia" | 00:01 |
| visualdeception | ubuntu__, you need to run sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk | 00:01 |
| antibody | ubuntu__, and install nvidia_glx_new | 00:01 |
| antibody | or something like it | 00:01 |
| hischild | ubuntu__: it should be in the restricted driver. | 00:01 |
| antibody | or use envy | 00:01 |
| ubuntu__ | ? | 00:01 |
| ubuntu__ | what do i do | 00:01 |
| antibody | ok no more need for md5sum found it | 00:01 |
| mysterycool | ubuntu__: which ubuntu driver? | 00:01 |
| ubuntu__ | if some one wants to help me can you go in a privite chat plz | 00:01 |
| hischild | ubuntu__: go to system-> administation -> hardware drivers. | 00:01 |
| genii | visualdeception: It's one of those *.run drivers he's already d/loaded from Nvidia, apparently | 00:01 |
| mysterycool | *nvidia driver | 00:01 |
| danand | ubuntu__ - try the restricted driver listing from the admin menu in gnome... | 00:02 |
| antibody | ubuntu__, open a console and just type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 00:02 |
| visualdeception | genii, ahh gotcha | 00:02 |
| visualdeception | thanks | 00:02 |
| hischild | antibody: that won't work by default. Use restricted drivers for that. | 00:02 |

| Scunizi | sydlex: the other method would be to boot into kubuntu then go to the shell and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. When done reboot and change sessions to gnome then sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop | 00:03 |
| antibody | pfff....stupid floodbot..now i'll leave :=) \o bbye everyone | 00:03 |

| Scunizi | Will putting spaces between the lines in fstab mess things up? | 00:03 |
| genii | Scunizi: No | 00:04 |
| antibody | Scunizi, ...why do you wanna do that? | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | genii: thanks.. | 00:04 |
| hischild | ubuntu__: please don't pm without asking. I'm prepending your name to everything i'm directing at you. | 00:04 |
| sydlex | Scunizi: i dont think so but you could always comment the lines out if you want spaces and dont want to risk messing something up | 00:04 |
| mysterycool | I cant get the sound in Flash videos to play. Please help. | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | antibody: I've got a lot in there including things I've commented out and I want to organize the structure. | 00:04 |
| danand | Scunizi - no ... but you should comment out blank lines with a # ... | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | danand: thanks.. | 00:04 |
| antibody | mysterycool, there was a bug about flash and pulse audio | 00:04 |
| antibody | google for pulse audio and flash or something | 00:04 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 00:05 |
| ubuntu__ | im in hard ware drivers now what | 00:05 |
| hischild | ubuntu__: please go to the hardware drivers menu and check if your graphics card does need a restricted driver. | 00:05 |
| Scunizi | mysterycool: antibody also.. audacity doesn't work with pulse audio | 00:05 |
| sydlex | Scunizi: thank you, ill try ubuntu-desktop --> purge kubuntu-desktop --> dist upgrade when i get home. good idea ^.^ | 00:05 |
| ubuntu__ | there is nothing in the box | 00:05 |
| genii | Scunizi: On occasion, if you inserted a last line in there and left cursor at end of line without hitting return/enter it may groan about the fstab file. | 00:05 |
| antibody | Scunizi, but I rarely use audacity ;) | 00:05 |
| hischild | ubuntu__: does it say if you need drivers or not? | 00:05 |
| Scunizi | sydlex: just another way to pluck a heron :) | 00:05 |

| === pileaus is now known as skcollob | ||
| hischild | ubuntu__: it will install the driver by itself when you enable the driver in hardware driver. | 00:08 |
| antibody | GhostFish, isn't there an app that comes with vmware that compiles the module? | 00:08 |
| antibody | vmware-install.py or something like it | 00:08 |
| ubuntu__ | it doesent show anything | 00:08 |
| ubuntu__ | so i went to nivida website | 00:08 |
| ubuntu__ | downloaded a driver | 00:08 |
| Scunizi | GhostFish: or did this just start happening with 8.04 upgrade? | 00:08 |

| Scunizi | rdvade: if nobody knows here.. you might ask in #ubuntu-server | 00:15 |
| ubuntu__ | its doing something | 00:15 |
| genii | rdvade: Why don't you look up what service is assigned to port 2000 then you might have some idea | 00:15 |
| sydlex | thank you for your help, everyone; i need to go. danand, ill look at fluxbox :-P ive also considered enlightenment. we shall see | 00:15 |

| sebsebseb | Acd1: re install the driver? | 00:17 |

| ubuntu__ | slow donw | 00:19 |
| ubuntu__ | now what | 00:19 |

| fiyawerx | read the blue thing | 00:19 |
| ubuntu__ | click yes or no | 00:19 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: It will ask a lot of stuff, answer the questuions you can, leave the other at their defaults. | 00:19 |
| ubuntu__ | and after i do this then what so i do | 00:19 |
| Ace1 | Is there a way to manually enable the wifi? | 00:19 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: The important ones are telling it to use 'nvidia' and picking 'Simple' for the screen setup. | 00:20 |
| Scunizi | GhostFish: I actually bookmarked it.. it says it's for server but might be worth a shot. http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04 | 00:20 |
| fiyawerx | then you restart x, and personally, i run nvidia-settings to fine tune things | 00:20 |

| sixwheel | Ace no.. wifi does not work in 8.4 | 00:20 |
| Ace1 | I'll try that shady | 00:20 |
| Scunizi | !ask | johninLex | 00:20 |
| ubottu | johninLex: 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. :-) | 00:20 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 00:20 |
| ubuntu__ | can we go in provite chat | 00:20 |
| fiyawerx | sixwheel, thats a fairly generic statement, does "NO" wifi work in 8.04? | 00:20 |
| sixwheel | Goback to 7.10 untill it is fixed | 00:20 |
| cafuego | Sorry, no. | 00:20 |
| genii | rdvade: If it's running on your box, open the inetd.conf/xinetd.conf file and see if 2000 is listed for some app to run (appname is at end). If not there likely it's some remapped common port from your router | 00:21 |

| Dante123 | Hi all, I am running windows under vbox (non-open source version- but still free) using Ubuntu 7.10. I have been thinking of upgrading my Ubuntu to 8.04- using the update manager. Anyone forsee any problems doing this and still running windows under vbox? | 00:21 |
| fiyawerx | sixwheel, for any wifi card? or just the one your trying | 00:21 |
| spiniker | im having problems with my nvidia graphics card | 00:22 |
| Pusselgenerator | my wifi is sure working... | 00:22 |
| Dante123 | spiniker what kinds of problems? | 00:22 |
| spiniker | is there a room in which o could go | 00:22 |
| johninLex | I have to say I am sorry, I am using windows, trying to burn an ISO but for some reason I I cant find my cdrw driver either one of them | 00:22 |
| Scunizi | Dante123: use partimage to put your system back as it was "just in case" | 00:22 |
| Y-Town | My wifi works fine | 00:22 |
| spiniker | well when i choose the 1024x768 i keep seeing some lines | 00:22 |
| x__ | anyone have problems with audiobooks in MP4 format not coming up as the correct duration? | 00:22 |
| Dante123 | Scunizi please elaborate for this newbie | 00:22 |
| Dante123 | are you using restricted driver spiniker | 00:23 |
| spiniker | yes | 00:23 |
| sixwheel | I have been here for a few days..and I have not seen anyone that got wif working. I worked on it for 3 days and I could not get to work.i | 00:23 |
| johninLex | I was using ubuntu 8.04 and was loving it and after a kick off party for Hardy I no longer had either OS | 00:23 |
| spiniker | should i use the driver that came with the card? | 00:23 |
| Dante123 | does this problem only happen in that particular mode spiniker? | 00:23 |
| fiyawerx | spiniker, what card do you have? | 00:23 |
| spiniker | yes only on 1024x768 | 00:24 |
| Pusselgenerator | sixwheel: my wifi is working, and most other people has got their wifi working. It's probably just your card. | 00:24 |
| Y-Town | sixwheel: guess im not just anyone | 00:24 |
| Scunizi | Dante123: partimage is a program. google it.. it's a live cd.. you can backup your entire partition containing your linux install. save it on an external HD if you have one or a secondary internal.. if the upgrade doesn't work use partimage to put the old system back where it belongs. | 00:24 |
| ubuntu__ | im stuck | 00:24 |
| Ace1 | sixwheel, that's not good to know :( | 00:24 |
| dannyboy | how can i get ubuntu to play dvd movies? | 00:24 |

| Oggu | http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap? | 00:25 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: US (is what it should default to) | 00:25 |
| fiyawerx | spiniker, that should be fine with the restricted drivers, under system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 00:25 |
| fiyawerx | then click enable for nvidia | 00:25 |
| Ntemis | hello | 00:25 |
| spiniker | ok wait ill try.. | 00:25 |
| ubuntu__ | ya | 00:25 |
| ubuntu__ | its askeing me to type the tyoe of keyboard | 00:25 |
| ubuntu__ | where do i type it | 00:25 |
| Ntemis | i have some problems with wine on ubuntu hardy heron | 00:25 |
| Ace1 | Why isn't there an option to use the previous driver? (ipl instead of iwl) | 00:25 |
| shady | now, I also have a problem with the xrandr command on a tablet pc | 00:26 |
| spiniker | well it says its in use | 00:26 |
| Fishscene | Ntemis, like what? | 00:26 |
| spiniker | but i still get some lines | 00:26 |
| shady | anybody familiar with that?? | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: sounds like it's just not booting from the cd is that right? | 00:26 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: If its preselected, just hit tab until OK is hilighted and then hit return. | 00:26 |
| spiniker | not very visible but one would actually notice | 00:26 |
| Ntemis | i installed slysoft clonedrive v5 and now i cannot remove the shortcut on the program files menu | 00:26 |
| illiterate | o | 00:26 |
| ubuntu__ | oh | 00:26 |
| ubuntu__ | thz | 00:26 |
| Ntemis | ever if i have unistalled it | 00:26 |
| johninLex | no the whole computer does not see any cd drive Scunizi | 00:26 |
| allquixotic | I have an Ubuntu Server box that isn't bringing up the 'lo' interface at boot, but that's crucial for many server processes. "sudo ifconfig lo up" does the trick, but how can I set it to do this upon boot (early in the boot process so daemons can initiate connections on 127.0.0.1)? | 00:26 |
| Ntemis | the shortcut stays there | 00:27 |
| earthsound | does anyone have any decent knowledge of GRUM? | 00:27 |
| rdvade | genii: Thanks, phew its just LTSP, I forgot I was messing with that. Thought it might have been those religious nutcases who hacked the server last time (when it run windows server 2003) and placed some indecipharable rubbish about hell | 00:27 |
| Ntemis | how i can remove it? | 00:27 |
| earthsound | *GRUB | 00:27 |
| spiniker | i have g-mount iso by the way | 00:27 |
| Fishscene | Ntemis, I've had that problem in Ubuntu 7.x- I'm not sure why or how to get rid of it | 00:27 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: did you happen to open your computer at all? if so you might need to just check the connections to the cdrom | 00:27 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 00:27 |
| Ntemis | i thought to apt-get remove wine and apt-get install it again | 00:27 |
| danbhfive | earthsound: I have a webpage with lots of grub info | 00:27 |
| dmsuperman | With xbindkeys, how can I determine which "associated key"s correspond to my mouse buttons (back/forward, zoom, etc.)? Is there a way to just press the button and get the associated key? | 00:27 |
| Falling-Inferno | Y-Town: I don't have any ipods plugged in there just files that remained and i want to get rid of them | 00:27 |
| ubuntu__ | i went thigh keyboard questions | 00:27 |
| ubuntu__ | then it went out of it | 00:27 |
| Ntemis | but this is not a fix! | 00:27 |
| ubuntu__ | so now what do i do | 00:28 |
| genii | rdvade: Ah, nothing to worry over then | 00:28 |
| Ntemis | unfortunately | 00:28 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: continue the dialog until it says it has saved the new config file. | 00:28 |
| Oggu | http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap? | 00:28 |
| blazebud | im having problems playing xvid files using totem-gstreamer (gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg installed). the videos play VERY slowly, like 1 frame per second. is this a known problem with a fix? | 00:28 |
| ubuntu__ | it boright be back to the kernal | 00:28 |
| johninLex | Scunizi let me check the mother board are you going to bee here foe a little bit | 00:28 |
| earthsound | danbhfive: GRUB is throwing an error 22 (i think it's the no partition error, but it only give the #) when I add a slave IDE HD | 00:28 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: the other thing you could try is to reboot and hit the "Delete" key when the computer beeps.. that should dump you into the bios setup screen look in there to see if the cd is listed.. then escape save and | 00:28 |
| x__ | anyone have any idea why mp4's are coming up with the wrong duration? ive tried multiple players and i get the same result 4:21 when it should be 6:00 | 00:28 |
| [Lowkey] | I need help getting my webcam integrated microphone to work. The camera works fine but the microphone wont work at all. I tried to go into volume options and setting 'usb camera' as the microphone and made sure its not muted and stuff. Can anyone help me please? :) | 00:28 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: for a little bit. | 00:28 |
| danand | allquixotic - that interface should be brought up automatically - check your /etc/network/interfaces file. you should have a listing like # Loopback Device | 00:28 |
| danand | auto lo | 00:28 |
| shady | no clicking after doing xrandr -o inverted | 00:29 |
| spiniker | dante123: is there any way i could adjust it or what? | 00:29 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: Ok, so you also told it about which driver to use and the screen size? | 00:29 |
| danand | iface lo inet loopback | 00:29 |
| ubuntu__ | no | 00:29 |
| ubuntu__ | it didnt ask about that | 00:29 |
| johninLex | ok Scunizi I should not be long | 00:29 |
| hack | hi | 00:29 |
| ubuntu__ | it was asking about my keyboard | 00:29 |
| Synergy_Peace | How does one enable Pulse Audio in hardy please? | 00:29 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: k | 00:29 |
| danbhfive | earthsound: I think that means that it can't find the menu.lst | 00:29 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: *obly* the keyboard? | 00:29 |
| earthsound | normally, I have a master IDE HD with Winblows XP & a SATA HD with 4 partitions: 1st NTFS storage space, 2 ext3 & a swap partition | 00:29 |
| Ntemis | also how i can make xarchiver when it unrars or unzip files to create a folder with the archives name for it | 00:29 |
| cafuego | That's not right. hrm. | 00:29 |
| ubuntu__ | obly????? | 00:29 |
| Ntemis | and put the data there | 00:29 |
| Ntemis | is there something to do to make it work like that? | 00:30 |
| allquixotic | danand: /etc/network/interfaces has "auto lo eth1" followed by iface eth1 inet static (because this server is public internet-facing so needs static IP) | 00:30 |
| earthsound | and it's set to boot hd(1,2) normally (my ubuntu installation) | 00:30 |
| ubuntu__ | so it broght me back to the terminal without asking me any video card things did i do something rong | 00:30 |
| danbhfive | !fixgrub | earthsound I _think_ following the windows directions should do the trick. Connect your drive, and follow the recovery instructions to reinstall grub | 00:30 |
| ubottu | earthsound I _think_ following the windows directions should do the trick. Connect your drive, and follow the recovery instructions to reinstall grub: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:30 |
| earthsound | but when I add an IDE HD to the slave portion of the IDE cable (BIOS detects all 3 drives) i cannot get to the GRUB menu :| | 00:30 |
| aventin | hello all, in the new 8.04, would i be able to play hardware accelerated video? i couldn't do it when i last installed ubuntu 7.04 and it was kind of a dealbreaker for me. (graphics card: intel gma950) | 00:30 |
| shady | no clicking after doing xrandr -o inverted, advice pleeeeeease | 00:31 |
| danand | allquixotic - no entry for lo ?? | 00:31 |
| Ntemis | i want xarchiver when extracting files to put them into a folder and not on the path that the rar/zip file is! | 00:31 |
| allquixotic | danand: /etc/network/interfaces says "auto lo eth1" but does not otherwise mention lo | 00:31 |
| YouKnowMe | Hello all, I use the new samba GUI and point it towards my music folder, but I can't find it on my windows machine.. I did everything right, gave guest access read and write and all that good stuff. But the changes never appear in smb.conf.. Help? | 00:31 |
| dmsuperman | With xbindkeys, how can I determine which "associated key"s correspond to my mouse buttons (back/forward, zoom, etc.)? Is there a way to just press the button and get the associated key? | 00:31 |
| earthsound | I can do this temporarily while the 2nd IDE HD is plugged in? | 00:31 |
| shady | does it have to do with the X server config, or with the driver itself??? | 00:31 |
| sam__ | can anyone help me to get firewire working pleade | 00:31 |
| Ntemis | if anyone knows how to accomplish this please tell | 00:31 |
| allquixotic | danand: the strangest part is that "sudo ifconfig lo up" solves the problem as if it knows exactly what to do with lo | 00:31 |
| danbhfive | earthsound: I'm guessing, but maybe the addition of the drive is changing the boot order of the drives, and hd1 is becoming hd2, so grub cant find it | 00:31 |
| sam__ | please? | 00:31 |
| Synergy_Peace | How does one enable Pulse Audio in Hardy please? | 00:32 |
| Ntemis | or is there any other program to do this or is there a way to assosiate rar/zip files with winrar? | 00:32 |
| ubuntu__ | so what do i do now | 00:32 |
| nickellery | Ntemis: just drag the file into the folder when extracting | 00:32 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: We'l;l try it again, but slightly differently. | 00:32 |
| earthsound | that could be it, as well. though I think my BIOS has a setting for SCSI-SATA boot order and it's set to SCSI (I believe) which I assumed it was treating IDE as SCSI | 00:32 |
| ubuntu__ | i did | 00:32 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' | 00:32 |
| nickellery | Ntemis: or rather, open up the archive, and drag the file into the folder of your choice | 00:32 |
| ubuntu__ | its only asking me keyboard things | 00:32 |
| mvinsc | hello | 00:32 |
| ubuntu__ | k ill try agian | 00:32 |
| ubuntu__ | brb | 00:32 |
| cafuego | that should ask ALL its questions, including about gfx card and screen. | 00:32 |
| Y-Town | Synergy_Peace: system/preferences/sound | 00:33 |
| earthsound | i'm in ubuntu right now...when I unplug the 2nd IDE HD GRUB works just fine :| | 00:33 |
| Ntemis | nickellery:then i have to create a folder and then rename the folder after i have unziped the file to take it and drag it into it | 00:33 |
| ubuntu__ | thats a diff code | 00:33 |
| Ntemis | Too much work | 00:33 |

| cafuego | it's a command, no code. Probably easier for helpers to refer to it as such. | 00:33 |
| ubuntu__ | that code does nothing | 00:33 |
| nickellery | Ntemis: what type of archive are you trying to extract? | 00:33 |
| danand | allquixotic - hmmm that sounds wrong to me - probably should just be auto lo rather than auto lo eth1. my (standard) /etc/network/interfaces file has - auto lo on one line followed by iface lo inet loopback on the next ... | 00:33 |
| simNIX | Im looking for a users xinitrc content but its not in the home dir ? | 00:33 |

| paulcross | JUST HEARD A GREAT NEWS. may have a big influence to IT industry and of course to ubuntu. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080501155234.htm | 00:34 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: whats the problem, cant gparted do it for you? | 00:34 |
| Synergy_Peace | what packages do i install for pulse audio? | 00:34 |
| nickellery | ntemis: you can use winrar to unrar rar files | 00:34 |
| Oggu | danbhfive: It doesn't combien the free space inte one partition | 00:34 |
| ubuntu__ | um now what that new code you gave me does nothing | 00:34 |
| allquixotic | danand: I didn't have the "iface lo inet loopback" in there at all. Added that, and restarting to see if that does the trick :) | 00:34 |
| sam__ | Synergy_Peace, its already installed I think | 00:34 |
| nickellery | ntemis: sudo apt-get install rar unrar | 00:35 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: If that does not bring up a configuration screen then something is pretty wrong with your system, I'd hazard. | 00:35 |
| sam__ | look at the drop down boxes in preferences> sound | 00:35 |
| danand | allquixotic - just try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ... no need for reboot... | 00:35 |
| ubuntu__ | somethig came up | 00:35 |
| mvinsc | so from everything i've read, there is no way to get aircrack to work with my Broadcom wireless card. does anyone have any advice?? | 00:35 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: how much ram do you have? | 00:35 |
| ubuntu__ | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow | 00:35 |
| ubuntu__ | /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure | 00:35 |
| Ntemis | nickellery you are confused ! | 00:36 |
| allquixotic | danand: yes, but there's no way to know for sure because lo is already up on this boot, I brought it up manually. besides, I need to reboot for installing kernel updates :) | 00:36 |
| earthsound | Scunizi: the only problem is that I cannot get to the GRUB menu to press e to edit it and select the correct HD to boot from :( | 00:36 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' | 00:36 |
| nickellery | Ntemis: sorry, what is the problem then | 00:36 |
| Oggu | danbhfive: 2.5gb | 00:36 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: earthsound do it in the bios of the computer | 00:36 |
| danand | allquixotic - ok :) | 00:36 |
| cafuego | ubuntu__: Please use it as I typed it. Not half missing. | 00:36 |
| ubuntu__ | now it worked | 00:36 |
| Ntemis | you have mixed up rar/unrar support of xarchiver with winrar program | 00:36 |
| ubuntu__ | thats werid | 00:36 |
| ubuntu__ | o well | 00:36 |
| ubuntu__ | brb | 00:36 |
| Ntemis | :) | 00:36 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: start by creating a swap space at the beginning of the drive, about 3g | 00:36 |
| Oggu | danbhfive: It looked like this before, deleted the partitions in extended http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part.png | 00:36 |
| cafuego | mvinsc: if you want to sniff traffic, you'll need a card with monitor mode support i guess | 00:36 |
| Y-Town | anyone know of a good app for docking and undocking a dell laptop? | 00:37 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: do you want a separate home directory? | 00:37 |
| shady | tablet pc support please | 00:37 |
| Oggu | no | 00:37 |
| Mattevt | where are the "power settings" located. ie: where can I choose what happens when I close my laptop | 00:37 |
| Ntemis | apt-get install rar unrar will make xarchiver able to unrar and rar | 00:37 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: * partition? | 00:37 |
| Oggu | danbhfive: just an ext partiton for my files | 00:37 |
| Oggu | ubuntu is on sda3 | 00:37 |
| nickellery | Ntemis: what I am trying to mention is that instead of using xarchiver, you can use winrar | 00:37 |
| earthsound | Scunizi: ok, i'm going to come in here on another machine & reboot this one | 00:37 |
| cafuego | shady: tablets are supported, provided thy can use the wacom drivers. | 00:37 |
| mvinsc | cafuego: new laptop, i really don't want to swap parts | 00:37 |
| Ntemis | i want to use winrar | 00:37 |
| shady | right I know cafuego | 00:38 |
| cafuego | mvinsc: If you're stuck with a broadcom chip, you won't be sniffing wifi traffic. Easy as that. | 00:38 |
| Ntemis | is it possible to make ubuntu open rar and zip files with winrar? | 00:38 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: right click the /dev/sda3 and choose edit, I think you should be able to expand its size | 00:38 |

| shady | although it does track pointer | 00:43 |
| danbhfive | Oggu: i see, well, I don't know. I'm sure gparted can do it for you. I bet there is a move partition option. I would click around. If it is greyed out, then you probably need to use the livecd | 00:43 |
| cafuego | Scunizi: Anything in your logs if/when you unplug and replug the tablet? | 00:44 |
| Scunizi | cafuego: you mean dmesg? | 00:44 |

| Scunizi | johninLex: no.. it should have installed a generic.. however booting from an Ubuntu live cd.. if that doesn't work then maybe the cd is not the 1st item on the boot list in bios.. if it is and still doesn't boot then the cd is probably bad :( | 00:47 |

| sektor | how can i check for empty disk space ? | 00:50 |
| Starnestommy | ubuntu__: what do you need help with? | 00:50 |

| ubuntu__ | for visual effects | 00:51 |
| CYREX | Ntemis: There is a package called unrar and unrar-free | 00:51 |
| CYREX | Ntemis: Download those and you can extract rar files | 00:51 |

| ubuntu__ | 8800 gts 512 | 00:51 |
| Ntemis | i want to assosiate rar files with windows winrar is there a way? | 00:51 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: have you installed the NVidia drivers? | 00:51 |
| yowshi | amenado: it isnt laziness it is a lack of being able to understand the man pages | 00:51 |
| ubuntu__ | i dont know how | 00:51 |

| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: so, you're on the liveCD? | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | Ntemis: you want to use WinRAR inside Ubuntu? | 00:52 |
| amenado | yowshi you asked what it stood for, and i responded man lsof, now hard or difficult is that to read ? | 00:52 |
| ubuntu__ | yes | 00:52 |
| Starnestommy | spiniker: what kind of problems? | 00:52 |
| ubuntu__ | i want to get this working | 00:52 |
| yowshi | grrr somethkng else not listed is jamming my soundcard | 00:52 |
| FastZ | yowshi, lsof stands for "list open files" it says so on the second line of the man page. | 00:52 |
| ubuntu__ | beffor i install ubuntu | 00:52 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: there is no accelerated graphics support for NVidia cards WITHIN the LiveCD | 00:52 |
| ubuntu__ | you mean you have to install it for it to work | 00:52 |
| Scunizi | cafuego: looks like a reboot might be in order to sort it out. also I wanted to ask.. did you notice in my xorg that I had the "force Device" on and Option "usb" "on" commented out? would that make a difference? | 00:52 |
| Starnestommy | ubuntu__: you'll need to install then fix it after doing that | 00:52 |
| spiniker | i tried switching my screen resolution | 00:52 |
| ubuntu__ | how would you fix it | 00:52 |
| ubuntu__ | ? | 00:52 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: because the NVidia driver is classified as "restricted" that means that you have to add repos to enable the enhanced features of your card | 00:52 |
| spiniker | and now its all black and i cant even log in | 00:52 |
| tessa | .. | 00:53 |
| ubuntu__ | no idea what you just ssaid | 00:53 |

| tessa | I cannot seem to get a gui running under the server version | 00:53 |
| dmsuperman | Khisanth, for one of my buttons it returns button 2, which is my right click button | 00:53 |
| ubuntu__ | how do you uninstall ubuntu | 00:53 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: it will show you a video card and have a check mark, it will be unchecked, check it, it will ask you some questions, say yes | 00:53 |
| tessa | I( cant seem to install tomcat under the desktop version | 00:53 |
| yowshi | amenado: yeah and the actual answer was 3 words | 00:53 |
| dmsuperman | Khisanth, and 2 of them don't even register an event | 00:53 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: format your HD and start over | 00:53 |

| ubuntu__ | i have vista on | 00:53 |
| ubuntu__ | i dont want to formatt | 00:54 |
| Starnestommy | ubuntu__: format the partition that ubuntu is on | 00:54 |
| cafuego | Scunizi: I don't know enough about the wacom driver to be able to give you a sensible answer on that <heh> | 00:54 |
| genii | Ice_Wewe: That assumes he already knows how to add restriced to his list of repositories | 00:54 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 00:54 |
| Starnestommy | or delete it | 00:54 |
| genii | Ice_Wewe: And has done so | 00:54 |
| tessa | Scunizi: ...is doesnt seem to want to do that , after I installed gdm | 00:54 |
| Ice_Wewe | genii: yeah, I'm not that great at handling n00bs... | 00:54 |
| ubuntu__ | the partistion program in ubutu can it format | 00:54 |
| danand | GoSox - when you first boot your computer you can press del or F1 or some other key to access the bios. the bios is stored on a chip on your computers motherboard and basically controls how the machine starts up and where to look to load your operating system. Some bioses have a security feature that prevents any writing of data to a special sector on your hard drive called the master boot record (MBR). the master boot record holds the instructions for wher | 00:54 |
| Ice_Wewe | genii: the GUI will do that for him | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | cafuego: thanks for the help though.. I'll play around with it and see what I come up with. | 00:54 |
| GoSox | danand: this is a macbook | 00:54 |
| ubuntu__ | well ill go and install ubuntu | 00:54 |
| danand | GoSox - needs to write to that part of your disk... | 00:54 |
| ubuntu__ | thz | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | tessa, did you install xfce (xubuntu) or Ubuntu (gnome) or Kubuntu (kde)? | 00:55 |
| tessa | Scunizi: ..are you telling me that gdm is already installed under the server version ? | 00:55 |
| Ice_Wewe | genii: if you check the box to use restricted drivers, it will ask you if you want to add the repos and will then proceed to download and install the appropriate packages | 00:55 |
| spiniker | starnestommy: i swithed to 1024x768,and now i cant even see a damn thing,it already happend twice,and sad to say that these is the third | 00:55 |
| danand | GoSox - no bios ?? | 00:55 |

| Starnestommy | spiniker: what type of card is it? | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | tessa: nope.. it's not.. you have to install it yourself with sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop | 00:55 |
| GoSox | danand: all for nothing haha | 00:55 |
| genii | Ice_Wewe: Ah, nice. Haven't seen that since one of first edits i do is add it manually in sources.list | 00:55 |

| jlc | FastZ, ty | 00:56 |
| spiniker | starnestommy:it was functioning,but when i change the resolution to 1024 i get some lines,and now its all black | 00:56 |
| Ice_Wewe | genii: I just had to do it on my PVR because I'm using Mythbuntu, I don't mess around with that cr*p unless I have to (I run gentoo on my desktop, so adding restricted stuff is really a moot point) | 00:56 |
| Starnestommy | jlc: somewhere in your /home/<username> directory, or install the executables in /usr/local/bin, shared files in /usr/local/share, libraries in /usr/local/lib, and config files in /usr/local/etc/ | 00:56 |

| eboyjr | Did anyone answer my question? How do I get rid of a screensaver? | 00:57 |
| earthsound | the BIOS detects the original master IDE HD as primary master & detects the added HD as primary slave | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | tessa: with 32bit server.. probably not | 00:57 |
| earthsound | and the 2 optical drives as secondary master/slave | 00:57 |
| earthsound | grub issue | 00:57 |
| Simonft | eboyjr: you mean deleate it? | 00:57 |
| GoSox | danand: yes i have a main os x partition, then a small os x one and trying to make a small linux one. it gets 94% of the way through installing, then gets that error | 00:57 |
| evilbug | i fixed my desktop display,but my boot screen and login window display is bad. | 00:57 |
| tessa | Scunizi: ..are you telling me that the 64 bit server is liley to have a problem ? | 00:57 |
| crazyeight | Can ubuntu play mp3's out of the box, or do I need to install additional software? | 00:57 |
| earthsound | SATA & SCSI boot order is SATA,SCSI | 00:57 |
| Starnestommy | spiniker: I'm not sure how to fix it for agp nvidia cards | 00:57 |
| eboyjr | Simonft, Well, just move the file to somewhere else just in case. | 00:57 |
| earthsound | and i grub should be installed on hd0,0, which is the IDE primary master HD | 00:58 |
| genii | tessa: No issues so far with 8.04 server on a quad Opteron system here | 00:58 |
| spiniker | starnestommy:is there a room where i can get help? i cant even log-in on ubuntu | 00:58 |
| tessa | genii... tyhank you | 00:58 |
| spiniker | thanks | 00:58 |
| genii | tessa: np | 00:58 |
| Scunizi | tessa: no.. It's just that if you have no 64 bit experience don't use it.. most programs are compiled for the 32bit environment and not all will work in 64 bit without some tweeking. | 00:58 |
| Starnestommy | spiniker: this channel, or the forums | 00:58 |
| tessa | ok... Scunizi .... i was Using 64 bit Centos | 00:58 |
| earthsound | when I add the 2nd HD to the primary slave slot on the IDE cable, i get this: | 00:58 |
| FastZ | crazyeight, to answer the first ?, no, it cant and to answer the second, yes. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 00:58 |
| tessa | but Centos doesnt have ipx | 00:58 |
| danand | GoSox - think that mac's bootloader can enable dualbooting of osx/linux... that way you can skip the install of grub... | 00:58 |
| Scunizi | earthsound: and when you remove the master does it boot? or when you remove the primary slave HD it boots? | 00:58 |
| spiniker | anywhere... | 00:58 |
| earthsound | veryifying DMI Pool Data... | 00:58 |
| earthsound | Boot from CD: (twice) | 00:59 |
| earthsound | GRUB Loading stage 2.5. | 00:59 |
| Scunizi | tessa: if you're use to that then go for it.. | 00:59 |
| earthsound | GRUB loading, please wait... then Error 22 | 00:59 |
| tessa | okk..time to reinstall then | 00:59 |
| spiniker | well anyway thanks..guess im gonna end up re installing again.. | 00:59 |
| Ice_Wewe | genii: I use ubuntu on machines where I can't be bothered to go insane installing Gentoo, it's a very nice distro | 00:59 |
| earthsound | haven't tried removing the master HD | 00:59 |
| earthsound | guess i should :| | 00:59 |
| danand | allquixotic - glad lo is up and running :) | 01:00 |
| * Scrounch is now away: off | 01:00 | |
| earthsound | brb | 01:00 |
| Starnestommy | spiniker: actually, try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" first in recovery mode | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | earthsound: you just need to reinstall grub.. are you registered here on freenode? | 01:00 |
| tessa | ok..let me get this right... first, install server version ..then install mythbuintu, then install unbuntu-desktop ? | 01:00 |
| === Scrounch is now known as Scrounch[AfK] | ||
| === Scrounch[AfK] is now known as Scrounch | ||
| shady | marcel ntfs3g | 01:00 |
| earthsound | yes | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | tessa: no.. you never mentioned mythbuintu | 01:00 |
| shady | no clicking yet | 01:00 |
| tessa | Scunizi..well..I need the server aps.... | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | tessa: if you want server install server then ubuntu-desktop | 01:01 |
| shady | not even by using the synaptics touchpad | 01:01 |
| shady | on inverted mode | 01:01 |
| genii | Ice_Wewe: Yes, Gentoo is a pita to setup initially | 01:01 |
| spiniker | ok..ill try | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | earthsound try to pm me | 01:01 |
| earthsound | Scunizi: removing the master HD results in "A disk read error occurred" Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" | 01:01 |
| SilverStreak | Hey guys, I'm currently reinstalling ubuntu and I'm planning on separating my / /home and /swap partitions; should I make a small /boot partition as well | 01:01 |
| ubuntu__ | need help | 01:02 |
| earthsound | b/c that's where grub is installed | 01:02 |
| tessa | SilverStreak: I ALWAYS have a small boot sector | 01:02 |
| ubuntu__ | im installing ubuntu and i was wondering how to dual boot | 01:02 |
| earthsound | i just don't know why grub is having a problem just b/c another HD is plugged in | 01:02 |
| PKsteR | how can I install a VIA PCI sata card on ubuntu? | 01:02 |
| SilverStreak | Should it be within the extended partition tessa? | 01:02 |
| FastZ | tessa: why do you need the server apps in order to use Mythbuntu? Just burn Mythbuntu to a CD and install it as your operating system. You don't need to install the server or desktop version of Ubuntu first | 01:02 |
| danbhfive | SilverStreak: Im guessing, but I don't think that will help | 01:02 |
| eboyjr | Where are the screen saver files? | 01:02 |
| Scunizi | earthsound: plug it back in and put the live cd in the machine and let it boot.. | 01:02 |
| danand | SilverStreak - i always do ... 100 - 150 Mb is _Plenty_ for /boot | 01:02 |
| tessa | ubuntu ... install WIndows first, and then inst5allubuntu./.it will take care of it all for you | 01:02 |
| kazol | Why is there no warning on Ubuntu's site about upgrading to Heron? Upgrades in Ubuntu never work for me (I've tried on several different systems). | 01:02 |
| earthsound | well, i only have the alternative CD, will that suffice? | 01:02 |
| ubuntu__ | im installing ubuntu and i was wondering how to dual boot | 01:03 |
| SeaPhor | ubuntu__, i have a good article on that if you want to look at it, its walk-thru | 01:03 |
| shady | ubuntu_ just install GRUB | 01:03 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 01:03 |
| ubuntu__ | where | 01:03 |
| kazol | ubuntu__: If you already have Windows installed, GRUB should automatically be configured. | 01:03 |
| ubuntu__ | grub? | 01:03 |
| PKsteR | can any body please help on installing a PCUsata card | 01:03 |
| shady | absolutely correct kazol | 01:03 |
| DIL | ubuntu__, if you have xp on already it will set up dual boot for you | 01:03 |
| SeaPhor | ubuntu__, join me in #SeaPhor | 01:04 |
| tessa | Fast...well...actually ...I NEED the server apps like tomcat and netbeans/.. and I'd like to have TV | 01:04 |
| kazol | ubuntu__: When you install Ubuntu, just resize the existing NTFS windoze partition, the rest should be done automatically. | 01:04 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 01:04 |
| ubuntu__ | im jsut makeing sure its going to do that | 01:04 |
| shady | in case the installation fails, GRUB will not be installed either | 01:04 |
| ubuntu__ | i thought it would | 01:04 |
| DIL | ubuntu__, ubuntu install will that is | 01:04 |
| lei | hi, just a test | 01:04 |
| SilverStreak | what format should /boot be in? | 01:04 |
| danand | ubuntu__ - grub is the bootloader ... it allows you to choose the OS you want to boot when you turn on the machine | 01:04 |
| danand | SilverStreak - ext3 | 01:05 |
| SilverStreak | alrighty | 01:05 |
| laeg | i installed openvpn, ran a perl script and now i can't surf the web and when i try to use irssi i get 'name or service not found' (i'm on the live cd) - i am able to use bittorrent though. how can i fix this please? | 01:05 |
| FastZ | tessa, well, then the way I see it you have 2 options. Install the server version of Ubuntu, then install Myth (not Mythbuntu) and then install whatever else you need for TV. Or, install Mythbuntu and then install the TV stuff you need | 01:05 |
| tessa | Fast.,... thanks | 01:06 |
| tessa | have started install | 01:06 |
| johninLex | Scunizi, I got it now, I had to go to the stupid device manager, the thing I forgot about, that what I get for not useing windows anymore | 01:06 |
| genii | laeg: Sounds like the perl script is suspect | 01:06 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: :) congrats! | 01:06 |
| kazol | What are some good distros (for desktop use) do you guys recommend? I am about to erase my Ubuntu installation after several issues. | 01:06 |
| ogre | i have a question. I am trying to upload some pics on my hd to myspace and in ubuntus picture viewer thingy it shows them straight but when its uploaded they are sideways. how can i fix this? | 01:06 |
| tessa | kazol.... Centos | 01:06 |
| johninLex | I did forget all about the device manager, I dont know why but I did, Scunizi | 01:07 |
| FastZ | tessa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV might find this web page useful | 01:07 |
| SilverStreak | ogre: in The GIMP you should be able to rotate the image | 01:07 |
| Fa | kazol you won't find anything better than ubuntu | 01:07 |
| tessa | Fast... ty | 01:07 |
| laeg | genii: when i try to look at my network settings and ip etc it's grayed out | 01:07 |
| Fa | kazol you can try pclinuxos though | 01:07 |
| kazol | Fa: Yeah, right. | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | johninLex: selective ignorance | 01:07 |
| shady | xrandr help, please | 01:07 |
| andrew-2 | who knows alot about writing ubuntu iso to a usb stick so as to build a live, bootable system ? | 01:07 |
| FastZ | kazol: Fedora, OpenSUSE, LinuxMint... just to name a few | 01:07 |
| kazol | Fa: Are you kidding me? | 01:08 |
| tessa | The problem with Centos and the other RHEL5 distros is that their is no capability for connecting to novell networks.,.which is why I am changing...otherwise I would not | 01:08 |
| Fa | no why? | 01:08 |
| kazol | Fa: I was thinking more of something like Gentoo, etc. | 01:08 |
| ogre | kazol: well if you want a reliable easy to use os ubuntu is my recommendation. other distros lack the "out of the box" functionality | 01:08 |
| SilverStreak | andrew-2: I've heard that it's pretty much the same process as installing Ubuntu on an HDD, just install it on the thumbdrive instead. | 01:08 |
| johninLex | Scunizi, that the only half of it, just glad it is working maybe I might be able to get ubuntu back yeaaaaa | 01:08 |
| Starnestommy | kazol: you're asking that question in an ubuntu support channel, so people are obviously going to recommend ubuntu in here | 01:08 |
| aoirthoir | how can I tell what version of ubuntu i am running? | 01:08 |
| Starnestommy | aoirthoir: lsb_release -a | 01:09 |
| Fa | kazol go to #linux and ask around | 01:09 |
| jedimasterk | When are we going to get photo editing applications in Ubuntu. Cinepaint was removed from Hardy, so how do I get 16bit support | 01:09 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 01:09 |
| aLeSD | why compiz make my pc slower ? | 01:09 |
| kazol | Fa: I did, just trying to get another perspective. | 01:09 |
| aoirthoir | Starnestommy: danke | 01:09 |
| FastZ | Fa: kazol: There are a lot of better distros besides Ubuntu. Ubuntu is easy to learn and use, but there are several better distros. Actually, it's all personal preference anyway | 01:09 |
| genii | laeg: You were trying to connect to some remote vpn server? | 01:09 |
| fde | aLeSD: because your PC is doing more. | 01:09 |
| andrew-2 | SilverStreak: would this create a boot like disk or more of a like installer like disk? | 01:09 |
| aLeSD | I mean gnome-terminal is faster but f-spot no ? | 01:09 |
| eboyjr | How do I fricken' delete a screen saver?!!!! | 01:09 |
| eboyjr | This is so frustrating! | 01:09 |
| jasperarcher | Hello all, I just did a fresh install. good news is that the system monitor and disk usage analyzer are actually recognizing /dev/sda1 (set as ext3) my internal hard drive... bad news is i still have to boot from USB or else it hangs. also, in file browser, my "file system" only has 60MB free, and my internal HD is listed as "78.5 GB Media" | 01:10 |
| aLeSD | and the preview of the pics too | 01:10 |
| * andrew-2 likes the word like | 01:10 | |
| SilverStreak | It'd create a bootable drive; you want something that you can install Ubuntu onto other PCs with? | 01:10 |
| aLeSD | and scrolling a tesxt is slow too | 01:10 |
| jasperarcher | *oops wanted to add, any help is much appreciated. | 01:10 |
| Rampage | Hi, I'm having a problem with ubuntu remote desktop. Configuring it via the gui to allow only local conenctions doesn't seem to work properly. Any ideas? | 01:10 |
| andrew-2 | SilverStreak: yeah thats right | 01:10 |
| aLeSD | fde: but I was thinking that the Gpu was working | 01:10 |
| stemount^ | I have a 7.10 pen drive | 01:11 |
| SilverStreak | Hmm, I am not quite sure about doing that andrew-2 | 01:11 |
| stemount^ | I can't get 8.04 to go on the pen drive though :( | 01:11 |
| fde | eboyjr: look in /usr/lib/xscreensaver/ for the screensaver and delete the file... every time the package updates, the screensaver will come back though. | 01:11 |
| stemount^ | 7.10 works flawlessly here on a USB key | 01:11 |
| laeg | genii: yes | 01:11 |
| fde | aLeSD: It is... | 01:11 |
| SilverStreak | How big is 7.10 unpacked? | 01:11 |
| Starnestommy | SilverStreak: about 2 GB | 01:11 |
| fde | aLeSD: So is the CPU though... | 01:11 |
| genii | laeg: Was it able to? | 01:11 |
| aLeSD | fbe : I mean things are going better (faster) of this is the best | 01:11 |
| laeg | genii: i deleted openvpn completely with synaptic and i remove /etc/openvpn and the contents | 01:11 |
| stemount^ | What is the average like ubuntu install size? | 01:11 |
| laeg | genii: i can't pastebin you the exact output when i ran the script | 01:11 |
| aLeSD | ? | 01:11 |
| stemount^ | once installed with all the default apps* | 01:12 |
| Starnestommy | stemount^: about 2 GB | 01:12 |
| laeg | genii: please bear with me | 01:12 |
| stemount^ | ah | 01:12 |
| eboyjr | fde, Thanks... I'll try it | 01:12 |
| genii | laeg: OK, bearing with you :) | 01:12 |
| FastZ | eboyjr, just turn your screensave off! system>preferences>screen saver | 01:12 |
| laeg | genii: :( | 01:12 |
| andrew-2 | SilverStreak: would you assume that the procedure is the same ? ..... since in ths particular instance i will try to install gentoo as the install system, however seeing that my current functioning system is ubuntu i would basicly have to follow the how to from ubuntu and replace the "installer" with gentoo | 01:12 |
| aLeSD | fde : I don't understand what is the difference between scroll a text with compiz or metacity | 01:12 |
| fde | aLeSD: Neither scroll, they are just Window Managers. | 01:13 |
| tessa | ok ..can I install desktop from a CDROM under the server distro, father than downloading it from the net ? | 01:13 |
| Starnestommy | aLeSD: compiz and metacity are different window managers, but they also manage widgets on windows | 01:13 |
| SilverStreak | andrew-2: I have no idea | 01:13 |
| PKsteR | How do I go about installing a PCI sata card in ubuntu | 01:13 |
| fde | aLeSD: Compiz and Cairo both are fighting for GPU resources though... and Cairo draws most widgets. | 01:13 |
| Tux2K8 | PKsteR : just plug it in | 01:13 |
| SilverStreak | PKsteR: Usually they work without drivers | 01:13 |
| Rampage | Hi, I'm having a problem with ubuntu remote desktop. Configuring it via the gui to allow only local connections doesn't seem to work properly. I want to try avoid iptables if possible. Any ideas? | 01:14 |
| FastZ | tessa: you can install "ubuntu-desktop" over the net. I dunno if you can install that if you put the metapackage on a CD... | 01:14 |
| aLeSD | fde Starnestommy I don't understand if compiz is the right way | 01:14 |
| SilverStreak | In fact PKsteR, I have one in my box. :) | 01:14 |
| laeg | genii: http://pastebin.com/m7e587a0d | 01:14 |
| aLeSD | I mean kde4 use 3d effects | 01:14 |
| johninLex | Scunizi, I will see you back on the ubuntu side bbl | 01:14 |
| fde | aLeSD: I don't use Compiz because I don't need those effects... it's something neat to show friends, but that's about it. | 01:14 |
| laeg | genii: i just did a 'perl scriptname laeg passsword' | 01:14 |
| Starnestommy | aLeSD: kde4 and compiz do 3d effects differently | 01:14 |
| fde | Starnestommy: Not really, they both use AIGLX | 01:15 |
| aLeSD | Starnestommy: could u esxplain me please ? | 01:15 |
| Tux2K8 | Starnestommy : you meant KDE and GNOME with compiz do 3d differently I belive | 01:15 |
| aLeSD | I 'm leaving compiz cause is not usabke ,,,,it's really .. only to show | 01:15 |
| SilverStreak | You just want to turn off desktop effects then? | 01:16 |
| function1 | so if i have an mplayer and aplay playing audio at the same time, then I've probably set up the alsa pulseaudio plugin correctly, right? | 01:16 |
| aLeSD | but ... in my opinion gpu has to make the pc faster not slower | 01:16 |
| fde | Tux2K8: Compiz is a Windows Manager... it follows follows specs that allow it to run with KDE or GNOME, KDE and GNOME are not Window Managers though... Metacity and Kwin are the Window Managers for those desktops. | 01:16 |
| _paradox_ | i upgraded to 8.04 hardy about a week ago. i havent gotten any system updates since. have just none been sent out yet? | 01:16 |
| SilverStreak | If so, I believe that it's just system > preferences > desktop effects | 01:16 |
| Starnestommy | aLeSD: compiz still has to use the CPU for some things | 01:16 |
| genii | laeg: Give me a few minutes for researching | 01:16 |
| Ntemis | if i install ark into hardy will i broke anything? | 01:16 |
| SilverStreak | _paradox_: try a sudo apt-get install update command | 01:16 |
| laeg | genii: cool ty, i can also link you the perl script? | 01:16 |
| tessa | ok..anotehr question... does the desktop version have a firewall inside it that is automatically set up./.if so ..how do I turn it off ? | 01:17 |
| Ntemis | i want to make it my default rar extractor | 01:17 |
| aLeSD | Starnestommy: is metacity going to 3d ? | 01:17 |
| Starnestommy | aLeSD: it's mostt likely going to stay 2d | 01:17 |
| _paradox_ | sudo apt-get install update | 01:17 |
| SilverStreak | tessa: iptables is there by default, but I don't know if it does anything | 01:17 |
| Hydrogen | compiz is a pretty bad window manager.. just to clarify | 01:17 |
| fde | aLeSD: there was a branch of Metacity that was going to... but it's looking like Compiz will just replace it in Gnome. | 01:17 |
| genii | laeg: No, I don't need the perl script. | 01:17 |
| fde | Luminocity I think | 01:17 |
| laeg | genii: nps, ty ty :) | 01:18 |
| Starnestommy | tessa: iptables is already installed, but there are no rules in it by default and it is set to allow things unless there's a rule blocking something | 01:18 |
| aLeSD | fde ... I can't belive it | 01:18 |
| Sunx | where are tempory files/user history/thumbnails/ anything related to user history store in....can i clear out all user history and usage | 01:18 |
| _paradox_ | update manager is still available in the menu | 01:18 |
| FastZ | tessa: Linux has a firewall by default, regardless of the type (ubuntu desktop, server, Fedora, SUSE, etc) they all have iptables built in to the kernel | 01:18 |
| aLeSD | fde . compiz with all effect disactived ... is slower | 01:18 |
| fde | aLeSD: You don't have to... it is what is being discussed. | 01:18 |
| FastZ | Starnestommy, iptables is set to block all incoming connections by default | 01:19 |
| fde | aLeSD: Hence why it's not the case yet. | 01:19 |
| aLeSD | mmm | 01:19 |
| aLeSD | ok | 01:19 |
| aLeSD | beer | 01:19 |
| aheckler | i need some help with another one of these annoying "can't empty my trash" problems | 01:19 |
| Starnestommy | FastZ: no, it allows incoming connetions when a program binds to a port and opens it | 01:19 |
| tubated | hello:) | 01:19 |
| genii | laeg: That website says they use pptp. Try ubuntu instructions here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-ubuntu-fedora-linux-pptp-client.html | 01:19 |
| _paradox_ | its just i usually get updates every other day and now none in a week | 01:20 |
| Sunx | i hate my life | 01:20 |
| Y-Town | aheckler: right click, empty trash doesnt work? | 01:20 |
| laeg | genii: so i did connect? i mean i have deleted the script and openvpn and even after a restart i can't surf or irssi | 01:20 |
| SoulBlade | i somehow lost sound on my box... i have upgraded to hardy and it was all working well. i no longer get sound and i get an error about pulse audio - unable to connect to server | 01:20 |
| mevering | okay. | 01:20 |
| fde | aheckler: Just open the Trash and hit the "Empty Trash" button inside... | 01:20 |
| aheckler | Y-Town: nope, apparently only root has the permissions to modify some files in my trash, so I can't delete them | 01:20 |
| aheckler | fde: tried it | 01:20 |
| FastZ | Starnestommy, this may be true, but by default, all incoming connections are blocked... only after you install programs that binds to a port and opens it will that port be opened... but this is not the case by "default" | 01:21 |
| newbi_ubuntu | need help | 01:21 |
| SoulBlade | i thought i had been using alsa - not sure if pulse audio is different | 01:21 |
| fde | aheckler: ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash/files <-- anything there not owned by your user? | 01:21 |
| mevering | quit | 01:21 |
| _paradox_ | i just assumed there werent any system updates | 01:21 |
| mevering | exit | 01:21 |
| CYREX | what u need newbi | 01:21 |
| SilverStreak | Also, one can use Firestarter to manage iptables and log events | 01:21 |
| Y-Town | aheckler: did you try what fde just put up for you? | 01:21 |
| genii | laeg: You reached the site but they refused your authorisation (from the paste you provided) | 01:21 |
| newbi_ubuntu | can only run ubuntu in 640x480 since i tried to make cloned screens | 01:22 |
| laeg | genii: also, their guide said to install openvpn | 01:22 |
| aheckler | fde and Y-Town: output it "drwxr-sr-x 3 adam adam 4096 2008-05-02 18:43 kernelcheck" | 01:22 |
| aheckler | *is | 01:22 |
| laeg | genii: so it's not responsible for me not being able to surf or irssi? | 01:22 |
| CYREX | must be the "new" x.org 7.3 with that rand | 01:22 |
| tubated | I have a problem.. i cant get resolution above 1600X1200! and the fancy graphics modes dont work. I have ubuntu 8! and intel G35. and 1920X1600 screen | 01:22 |
| fde | aheckler: ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash/info <-- anything there not owned by your user? (note "info" rather than "files" | 01:22 |
| CYREX | did you check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 01:22 |
| SilverStreak | tubated: are you using the dvi or vga connection? | 01:22 |
| newbi_ubuntu | ye | 01:23 |
| tubated | silver: the dvi | 01:23 |
| _paradox_ | anyone else has gotten updates since upgrading to 8.04? | 01:23 |
| CYREX | type xrandr and tell me what it says | 01:23 |
| newbi_ubuntu | can u mess me private the text is flashing so fast in my rez | 01:23 |
| SilverStreak | My GeForce 5200Fx did not support 1900x1200 over dvi due to hardware limitations, so check out your graphics chip's capability | 01:23 |
| fde | aheckler: you can just 'rm -f kernelcheck' within those directories if they're owned by you. | 01:23 |

| tubated | SilverStreak: i can do 1920 in windows vista | 01:24 |
| richard | hi - can someone explain the difference between eth1 and wifi0? (they're both marked as wireless interfaces, even though i only have one) | 01:24 |
| Y-Town | aheckler: fde :o) | 01:24 |
| fde | aheckler: heh... cool, actually though, they moved it recently... it used to be just ~/.Trash | 01:24 |
| SilverStreak | tubated: alright, it's not a hardware issue then; just checking | 01:24 |
| aheckler | fde: aahhh no wonder, i've been using ubuntu since dapper and i thought it was ~/.Trash | 01:24 |
| tubated | SilverStreak: I just installed ubuntu. should i install some drivers maybe? | 01:24 |
| genii | laeg: Since the last things you did was install openvp and then the script, something in there likely did it. You were connected (to the internet) when you tried the script as the paste shows. The paste also shows that you were deinied access to some files on your own system (certificate files and a conf file) | 01:24 |
| _paradox_ | like i said i still have update manager so is there a problem? | 01:25 |
| misieq | hi! I have some problem with a simple c++ code relating to writing output to files. Basicly I try to write something to file, but the output is 0-sized. Permission are set ok and if the file is not there it gets created. code is right here: http://www.nopaste.pl/4ck and there are a few comments (in red) as what the program should do. can anyone help me? | 01:25 |
| SilverStreak | tubated: Intel provides OSS drivers, so that shouldn't be the case | 01:25 |
| kellie | I put in a password on my ubuntu install for my neighbor. It's a simple password but now it's not working. I tried it several times and even tried entering it in Text Editor and copying and pasting and it won't work. The password hasn't been changed. Can someone help me figure out how to recover the password? | 01:25 |
| Mattevt | when I mouse over the items in the taskbar, a black box appears instead of a pop-up that says what the item is. | 01:25 |
| CYREX | richard: did you type iwconfig | 01:25 |
| jepes | how reliable is md5 sum? | 01:25 |
| SDr | misieq, join #c++, or something similiar | 01:26 |
| SDr | misieq, this is not a dev channel, you'll have more luck there | 01:26 |
| misieq | SDr: thanks | 01:26 |
| laeg | genii: so do you know how i can fix it? i know you linked a guide for pptp, but the webiste's guide says to use openvpn and anyway i caused the problem with opevpn, so how can that guide help? | 01:26 |
| SDr | jepes, pretty reliable, except for some edge cases | 01:26 |
| richard | CYREX: yes, | 01:26 |
| Shadow420 | !md5 | 01:26 |
| ubottu | 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 | 01:26 |
| _paradox_ | and has anyone else gotten system updates since upgrading to 8.04? | 01:26 |
| Shadow420 | !md5 | jepes | 01:26 |
| ubottu | jepes: please see above | 01:26 |
| CYREX | richard: Did you get both interface there, eth0 and wifi | 01:27 |
| jepes | SRr: i verified my iso, it did okay, but it fails during install... | 01:27 |
| danbhfive | _paradox_: I have, in fact, I just got a kernel update | 01:27 |
| tubated | SilverStreak: Its kinda weird. that i can only choose up to 1600. which sucks, because that is not a widescreen format, and this screen is widescreen, so stuff looks ugly | 01:27 |
| SDr | jepes, what's the error message? | 01:27 |
| richard | CYREX: yes, I see three interfaces. My wired one, and two wireless ones (eth1 and wifi0) - even thouh i only have one wless card | 01:27 |
| fde | jepes: 128bit reliable... sha can go up to 512bit... so it's not the most reliable/secure. | 01:27 |
| tessa | tomcat 6 isnt in the repository | 01:27 |
| jepes | SDr: installation faild , etc" | 01:27 |
| SilverStreak | tubated: completely understandable, I myself have a 24" widescreen on my end. | 01:28 |
| jepes | SDr: something about corrupted installer. | 01:28 |
| tubated | SilverStreak: same here | 01:28 |
| Shadow420 | jepes you could have a bad burn | 01:28 |
| SDr | jepes, have you tried after the first install screen setting the installation media to net/FTP, instead of cd/dvd? | 01:28 |
| SDr | also, what Shadow420 said | 01:28 |
| bmk789 | what should i pass to xrandr to use dual monitors? | 01:28 |
| kellie | is there any way to reset a password for ubuntu if the one you have set doesn't seem to be working? | 01:28 |
| _paradox_ | danbhfive: im just wondering if theres a problem? if ur like me u probably get updates every other day. | 01:28 |
| Mattevt | Can anyone inform me why, when I mouse over taskbar icons, a black rectangle pops up instead of the text of what the item is. | 01:28 |
| jepes | Shadow420: im installing it to a virtual machine using the iso directly from my HD, image is okay (md5) but it still fails. | 01:29 |
| FastZ | tessa, you'll have to download the binary package and compile it yourself http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi | 01:29 |
| jepes | so its not an issue about bad burn. | 01:29 |
| Shadow420 | jepes try to reburn the image at a slower rate | 01:29 |
| fde | Mattevt: I'd imagine that'd be a theme issue... are you using a black theme? | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | tessa: TOMCAT 5.5 IS | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | sorry didn't mean to have caps | 01:29 |
| tessa | done | 01:29 |
| danbhfive | _paradox_: I just upgraded to hardy, there were a bunch of updates. Its just for bug fixes. Getting updates is usually a good thing | 01:30 |
| Shadow420 | jepes then redownload the iso possible the iso got corrupted | 01:30 |
| Mattevt | fde, I don't think I set up a theme, I just made the taskbar transparent. I'll play around with the themes though and see if that fixes it, thanks | 01:30 |
| FastZ | richard, CYREX, eth1 will be your regular wireless connection. wifi0 is there (put there by your wireless driver) and is used when your wireless card is set to "monitor" mode | 01:30 |
| genii | laeg: Unfortuately I do not know much about openvpn or it's operation. LEt me seek help. | 01:30 |
| laeg | genii: ty | 01:30 |
| jepes | Shadow420: downloading now, ..thanks anyways... | 01:31 |
| tessa | ok..what does ubuntu-desktop install when you are intsalling it under the server ? | 01:31 |
| SeaPhor | jepes, you always want to burn any ISO file at slowest speed, makes a good rule-of-thumb | 01:31 |
| tessa | seems to be about 1 gig ? | 01:31 |
| CyberCod | Help !!! I am having major troubles getting the Airforce One 54g (broadcom 4318) wifi card to work with Hardy | 01:31 |
| tubated | sorry to ask again. just in case someone overlooked it:) the problem is that despite a 24" screen and intel G35 chipset, i cannot get higher resolution than 1600 in ubuntu. also, the only mode that works is the simplest gui mode. i cannot find why it should not work, but it doesnt. :/ any one got any ideas? | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | SeaPhor: except that it's just a file on his HD | 01:31 |
| richard | FastZ: so when i use e.g. network-manager to set up wireless, should i be setting up eth1 or wifi0? | 01:31 |
| FastZ | tessa: please type a users IRC handle in your messages so the person you are talking to knows you are talking to them | 01:31 |
| _paradox_ | danbhfive: well i got all those updates to right then when i was upgrading. i mean i havent gotten anymore since. have there just not been more? | 01:31 |
| AussieHatter | what happens to a box that has gutsy in the sources.list when you aptitude upgrade ? | 01:31 |
| FastZ | richard, eth1 | 01:31 |
| genii | laeg: Darn. The person that I definitely know knows about it ( Seveas ) is not here right now | 01:31 |
| SilverStreak | CyberCod: broadcom chipsets are loads of trouble; in some cases it's better to get a Prism or an Atheros chipset | 01:31 |
| jepes | SeaPhor: see above, im installing it to a vitual machine using the downloaded image directly (image vierifeid okay in md5) | 01:31 |
| jepes | :P | 01:32 |
| CyberCod | not an option here | 01:32 |

| CyberCod | I'm trying to turn on a new person to Ubuntu but this is giving major problems | 01:34 |
| tubated | Shadow420: works in 1920 rez in windows vista, so it should be possible | 01:34 |
| Mattevt | fde: it appears that the problem occurred when I "customized" the theme (ie: switched colors) | 01:34 |
| tessa | it would be nice if one could install server, and then the framework of the desktop ..and then choose which apps you wanted | 01:34 |
| newbi_ubuntu | i can only run 640x480 since i tried to make a clone screen and if anybody has a tip on how to fix it, pleese mess me because with my small screen the text is flashing so fast | 01:34 |
| DefineKThyne | Scunizi: no, ca.archives.ubuntu.com isn't working for me and I | 01:34 |

| * oc180z is looking for ibook gt Ubuntu users | 01:35 | |
| Shadow420 | jepes you could partiton your ubuntu disk in half to have room for hardy | 01:35 |
| Ntemis | fde thanks | 01:35 |
| SilverStreak | Adys: what kind of pA problems? | 01:35 |
| danbhfive | CyberCod: ndiswrapper is on the install cd, is that what you are talking about? | 01:35 |
| FastZ | tessa: that command will install a GUI (GNOME) but without all the extra stuff that ubuntu-desktop comes with | 01:35 |
| DefineKThyne | Scunizi: lol yeah it kinda was. | 01:35 |
| Shadow420 | tubated hmm brb I have to think on it | 01:35 |
| Scunizi | DefineKThyne: ask away.. if someone knows the answer they'll get back with you. | 01:35 |
| tessa | Fast..thank you... I am now 25% through a desktop install | 01:35 |
| CyberCod | I tried that, and I got it to tell me that the drivers were installed and hadware was present... but it still won't connect | 01:35 |
| Adys | SilverStreak, pulse doesnt work at all (no sound), ALSA still works in the sound output but most apps are set to pulse | 01:35 |
| Ward1983 | can someone PLEASE recommend a good backup tool that allows me to make a backup of another computer of the network, it needs to be an image i can place back in case i need to | 01:35 |
| tubated | Shadow420: OK | 01:35 |
| DefineKThyne | is there a way to change what software archive Synaptic uses? | 01:35 |
| CyberCod | I even tried removing Network Manager and installing WiCD | 01:35 |
| CyberCod | WiCD doesn't even see it | 01:36 |
| Scunizi | DefineKThyne: that's an easy one.. yes | 01:36 |
| fde | CyberCod: ifup eth0 ? | 01:36 |
| Ward1983 | i cant see the forest because of the trees anymore | 01:36 |
| FastZ | tessa, sorry for getting that to you late then. :P | 01:36 |
| SilverStreak | Adys: have you tried disabling oss? I've found that that has solved a lot of my problems in the past | 01:36 |
| t3hwiz0rd | is anyone here familiar with qdvdauthor? | 01:36 |
| fde | CyberCod: ndiswrapper will define it as eth0 ... | 01:36 |
| DefineKThyne | Scunizi: oh? | 01:36 |
| CyberCod | even though the modules are loaded in | 01:36 |
| CyberCod | it has an eth0, | 01:36 |
| Adys | SilverStreak, disabling it where? Everything is set to pulse afaik | 01:36 |
| fde | CyberCod: ok... type what I said... actually 'sudo ifup eth0' | 01:36 |
| L_Mo | I'm looking at a new laptop. My old one has an nvidia geforece go 7800 and it worked great. New one only has an intel x3100... Will this work as well? | 01:36 |
| SilverStreak | killall oss | 01:36 |
| Adys | Its just since the kernel upgrade a few mins ago | 01:36 |
| CyberCod | just a sec | 01:36 |
| FastZ | tessa, and if you add a Z to the Fast in your messages, I can see your posts a lot easier. or use the TAB key to finish my IRC handle if you dont want to type it out | 01:36 |
| dmsuperman | Alright, I've made some progress. I'm trying to use xev to detect my keypresses, to determine the button number for xbindkeys. Whenever I use it, however it improperly detects my keypresses. 2 buttons don't do anything, and one of my buttons just does the same thing as middle click | 01:36 |
| SeaPhor | CyberCod, have you checked its known compatability here? http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ | 01:36 |
| tessa | Fast... the RHEL distros allow you to turn off the firewall at the point you install the distro..how do I do this with Ubuntu --- becuase I am already behind a hardware firewall | 01:37 |
| Ntemis | is hardy going to have kernel updates in its life span? | 01:37 |
| SilverStreak | L_Mo: intel chipsets work great AFAIK | 01:37 |
| Adys | SilverStreak, no process killed | 01:37 |
| DefineKThyne | Scunizi: can you tell me how you'd go about doing this? | 01:37 |
| fde | SeaPhor: Lets get it online first ;) | 01:37 |
| SilverStreak | alright, then oss is not the source of audio problems | 01:37 |
| Scunizi | DefineKThyne: after opening synaptic go to "settings/repositories" ten in the middle of the box you'll see Download from: pick there or have it search for the best mirror for your location | 01:37 |
| Ntemis | or we are stack with 2.6.24 | 01:37 |
| CyberCod | ignoring unknown interface eth0 | 01:37 |
| CyberCod | ? | 01:37 |
| Scunizi | DefineKThyne: typing and refrencing as fast as I can | 01:37 |
| fde | CyberCod: cat /etc/network/interfaces ... you sure eth0 is defined? | 01:37 |
| DefineKThyne | Scunizi: kudos to you :) | 01:37 |
| CyberCod | ifup wlan0 gives "interface wlan0 already configured" | 01:38 |
| jepes | Shadow420: i could, but i still will need to wipe my buntu partition to do so, its on a seperate 6 Gig disk, i dont want to repart my 80G and 40 G drives... | 01:38 |
| FastZ | tessa: not sure. | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | DefineKThyne: any other hard ones like that? :) | 01:38 |
| SilverStreak | I personally have not tried pulseaudio yet (reinstalling as we speak due to corrupted superblock madness), so that's as much as I can help you with | 01:38 |
| tubated | could my resolution problem be because i told ubuntu to use safe graphic settings in the installer? | 01:38 |
| tessa | FastZ: ...the firewall is making my system too slow | 01:38 |
| _paradox_ | 2.6.24.16-generic thats my kernel so im not sure if ive gotten the kernel update or not. have gotten any other updates tho | 01:38 |
| Bodsda | tubated: yes that will do it | 01:38 |
| FastZ | tessa, no need to "turn off" iptables on the machine anyway. that's just an extra layer of protection | 01:38 |
| DefineKThyne | Scunizi: nothing really for now, I'll let you know if something does come up ;) | 01:38 |
| Adys | SilverStreak, aight, thanks anyhow | 01:38 |
| fde | CyberCod: ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0 && ping google.com ? | 01:38 |
| FastZ | tessa, i doubt that is the case | 01:38 |
| CyberCod | hang on a sec | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | DefineKThyne: :-) | 01:38 |
| FastZ | CyberCod, wlan0 is not supposed to be used as your wireless connection | 01:38 |
| tessa | FastZ: ..I KNOW that ubuntu 8 is MUCH slower in dealing with the internet than Centos | 01:38 |
| fde | CyberCod: just copy and paste all that | 01:39 |
| kellie | On another note, I go to slingo.com and go to play a game in firefox it asks me to install a plugin but when I go to install it it says there's no suitable plugin. Can someone help me fix this? | 01:39 |
| jepes | Shadow420: anyways... im trying to download it again from scratch to check. | 01:39 |
| fde | FastZ: Lets see if it is... it's probably the bcm43 module's definition though. | 01:39 |
| CyberCod | eth0 isn't defined in interfaces | 01:39 |
| FastZ | CyberCod, if you have eth0 (wired) or eth1 (the one you should use for wireless) or ath1 (for atheros cards)... | 01:39 |
| Bodsda | kellie: enable all your repositories in synaptic | 01:39 |
| SilverStreak | kellie: it is likely shockwave it needs, which currently has no Linux implementation | 01:39 |
| tubated | Bodsda: but the problem is that i cant change resolution higher than 1600 NOW... it works, but i cant get the 1920 resolution that i know my hardware can support. (does in vista) | 01:39 |
| L_Mo | anyone else know of any issues with the intel x3100 graphics? Works fine in Ubuntu? (I'm doing some googling too, I just want to double-check before I buy) | 01:39 |
| CyberCod | can't different machine | 01:39 |
| genii | kellie: It looks like shockwave, which won't work on linux (even with the Adobe Flash plugin installed) | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | L_Mo: buy? the laptop? the card? or Ubuntu? | 01:40 |
| kellie | ... | 01:40 |
| L_Mo | Scunizi: The laptop :) | 01:40 |
| Bodsda | !lnw | tubated but try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:40 |

| kellie | is there something I can do about that with WINE or something? | 01:40 |
| Shadow420 | jepes how many OS's do you have? | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | L_Mo: do they have an upgrade option to nvidia. you'd be much better off | 01:40 |
| === soldats_ is now known as soldats | ||
| fde | FastZ: Out of curiosity, why shouldn't he use wlan0 ? It's irrelevant, can be 'internet' so long as it has a name... it's not a /dev/ device. | 01:40 |
| Bodsda | !repository | kellie | 01:40 |
| ubottu | kellie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 01:40 |
| FastZ | tessa, I wouldnt think that would have anything to do with iptables on Ubuntu though. CentOS is a more "enterprise server" type distro so it's going to work a little faster probably anyway | 01:40 |
| _paradox_ | im trying to figure out whether theres a problem or not | 01:41 |
| L_Mo | Scunizi: Yes, of course.. but they don't :( | 01:41 |
| CyberCod | "network is down" and ping: unknonw host google.com | 01:41 |
| L_Mo | Scunizi: So can one make do w/ intel... or is nvidia really required (and I should look for another laptop altogether) | 01:41 |
| genii | kellie: Sign the petition if you're upset about it, http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/shockwave-on-linux.html | 01:41 |
| fde | FastZ: Ubuntu with linux-image-server installed and booted to is just as enterprise class... | 01:41 |
| jepes | Shadow420: only 2 (xp and buntu), i used to have vista but i deleted it after it bloated to 20G just from updated... | 01:41 |
| Scunizi | L_Mo: I'm googling on www.google.com/linux right now.. care to join me? | 01:41 |
| jepes | updates* | 01:41 |
| genii | kellie: Since shockwave uses DirectX which does not exist on linux, using WINE will not do much about solving it | 01:42 |
| L_Mo | Scunizi: Yeah yeah, I'm just trying to get personal experiences in person (more or less :) | 01:42 |
| FastZ | fde: i forget the term used to define what "wlan0" is, but basically if you have a wireless chipset that supports putting your wireless card into "promiscuous" mode, where you can sniff traffic and things, then the wlan0 interface is used. but basically, it's only used for wi-fi monitoring whereas your usual eth1 or ath1 are used for actual connections | 01:42 |
| fde | Whoa, 20 gigs for that OS? They barely provide anything in the default install of use :S | 01:42 |

| shadok | i'm looking for a way to replay an oem install of ubuntu gutsy or hardy like fedora does through kickstart ? is that possible and if so, is there a how to somewhere ? | 01:47 |

| bazhang | Bodsda: hi! :) | 01:49 |
| matt_____ | and will the truecrypt version for 7.10 work on 8.04? | 01:49 |
| jasperarcher | bazhang: thank you. when i set my BIOS to boot from my internal HD, the screen goes black with the word "GRUB _" in white text and then hangs. so far the only way i can get into my OS is via my USB stick | 01:49 |
| shadok | bazhang: ok, i'll check that, thanks :) | 01:49 |

| fde | Even devices in /dev/ can be renamed to your liking... | 01:50 |
| Bodsda | jasperarcher: is there a boot loader on that hard drive? you may need to install grub to it | 01:50 |
| bazhang | linkinxp not unless you want to lose support here :) | 01:50 |
| neo_ | The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 01:50 |
| neo_ | You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. | 01:50 |

| Thomas_Anderson | The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 02:32 |
| Thomas_Anderson | You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. | 02:32 |

| norv | The_Bridge: I have root enabled, though never use it unless something like that gets corrupted.. then it just saves a reboot doing init=/bin/bash | 02:40 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: you can't make a non-responding mirror respond, and you need packages contained on it, so I don't see a solution to this problem other than patience | 02:40 |
| Starnestommy | The_Bridge: reboot, hit ESC at the prompt, then select recovery mode | 02:40 |
| genii | Ice_Wewe: Perhaps he enjoys the nice red screen | 02:40 |
| norv | The_Bridge: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723361 | 02:40 |
| opop | ShadowSniper8, i'd recommend it, or VMware, but VB is much easier to set up. MS VPC 2007 only supports windows products and SuSE Enterprise, AFAIK | 02:40 |
| ubuntu__ | so what do i do | 02:40 |
| oceanvessel__ | but it's annoying the fact of switching to root manually | 02:40 |
| norv | Starnestommy: that's HALF of what is needed | 02:40 |
| bazhang | Neo_The_Anderson: he does not know please stop asking him | 02:40 |
| ubuntu__ | w8 intell tomaro | 02:40 |
| biouser | some Hardy upgrade issues.... my old firefox was way better what happened to my java setup? | 02:40 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | Ok i have a very basic stupid question about the ubuntu kernels. | 02:40 |
| ShadowSniper8 | ok | 02:41 |
| ShadowSniper8 | thanks | 02:41 |
| ubuntu__ | or just forget about ubuntu | 02:41 |
| Ice_Wewe | genii: and the inherient risks involved with screwing around as root | 02:41 |
| opop | ShadowSniper8, even better, you could dual boot with Wubi | 02:41 |
| opop | no partitioning required, ShadowSniper8 | 02:41 |
| bcardarella | Does anybody know how I should go about addressing usb reset errors? | 02:41 |
| The_Bridge | okay,let me read that link first | 02:41 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: perhaps, but if you find some patience you'll find that the server will respond, and life will be good | 02:41 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | What is the difference between the generic and 386 kernels? | 02:41 |
| ubuntu__ | should i w8 like a hour | 02:41 |
| bazhang | ShadowSniper8: wubi would be good for you | 02:41 |
| CyberCod | I can't find where it downloads the firmware for the b43-cutter | 02:41 |
| biouser | does ubuntu-restricted-extras still exist? | 02:41 |
| ShadowSniper8 | no, i prefer not to, because, my harddrive is a little bit full at the moment | 02:41 |
| oceanvessel__ | I know I can go ahead and look that up in GOogle but what a hassle | 02:41 |
| bazhang | Neo_The_Anderson: generic allows dual core (uses both) | 02:41 |
| skrag | Starnestommy: so i can capture if i run it as sudo but it freezez and i have to force quit if i use gksudo, fyi man irc lights that thing up... | 02:41 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: however, to put it bluntly, you don't seem like the type to handle Ubuntu, so if you choose to keep running Vista, I would say that's best for you | 02:41 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 02:41 |
| ubuntu__ | its not that | 02:42 |
| jlc | I am trying to install lightscribe drivers and get the error "wrong archetecture i386" Any idea what the problem is | 02:42 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | is generic better than 386? i have all 3 and all 3 work perfect. | 02:42 |
| ubuntu__ | there is so many bugs with ubuntu | 02:42 |
| mevsthevoices | Anyone please help, really simple bash problem! | 02:42 |
| opop | jlc, how are you installing the drivers? | 02:42 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: no, there are so many user errors with Ubuntu | 02:42 |
| Wyzard | jlc: Are you running amd64 Ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| genii | jlc: You have the amd64 package/driver | 02:42 |
| ubuntu__ | im just impatiant becasue ive been on here for 4 hours | 02:42 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | i just need help picking one. even the server kernel working on my X86 machine. | 02:42 |

| bazhang | ubuntu__: file a bug report and help us to make it better then | 02:42 |
| biouser | what happened to java with the new firefox/hardy upgrade? | 02:42 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: there are very few bugs in Ubuntu that the average user would encounter | 02:42 |
| ubuntu__ | ill try to update in a hour | 02:42 |
| ubuntu__ | and w8 for it to work | 02:42 |
| eLeXX | bazhang I need a bit more help with the wireless | 02:42 |

| mevsthevoices | Anyone please help, really simple bash problem! | 02:42 |
| === eLeXX is now known as Phenomica | ||
| oceanvessel__ | can anyone help me out please??????, I've got so many questions | 02:42 |
| Starnestommy | mevsthevoices: what problem? | 02:42 |
| Ice_Wewe | mevsthevoices: what is? | 02:42 |
| bazhang | eLeXX: a bit busy atm | 02:42 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | i just need help picking one. even the server kernel working on my X86 machine. | 02:43 |
| jappdev | mattgyver83: lspci | 02:43 |
| opop | oceanvessel__, I have a little time | 02:43 |
| jlc | Wyzard, I right click on it and select open with Gdebipackage installer | 02:43 |
| mattgyver83 | jappdev, thank you i could not remeber | 02:43 |
| opop | message me, oceanvessel__ | 02:43 |
| ShadowSniper8 | do you know where i would find virtualbox? | 02:43 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | what kernel would be best on an X86? | 02:43 |
| Phenomica | I cant seem to build the file I got from the link you sent me | 02:43 |
| ShadowSniper8 | google? | 02:43 |
| ubuntu__ | ill w8 for it to connect | 02:43 |
| jappdev | Neo_The_Anderson: stick with generic | 02:43 |
| genii | Neo_The_Anderson: When in doubt choose generic | 02:43 |
| Ice_Wewe | oceanvessel__: you can't log in as root on X, it's designed that way so you don't cause irreperable damage to your system, find another way to do what you want | 02:43 |
| bazhang | Neo_The_Anderson: generic | 02:43 |
| mevsthevoices | Starne: I need to pipe the stdout from a bg process in to a file? Any would this work if I sent it to /dev/null (to delete it) | 02:43 |
| Ice_Wewe | Neo_The_Anderson: Generic | 02:43 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | generic? but 386 works and so does server. ok i will switch | 02:43 |
| Ward1983 | i share a directory, and i go to network on another PC and i can't see any trace of what i jsut shared, i cannot even see the PC which i shared the directory on, what can be wrong? | 02:43 |
| Wyzard | jlc: The message means either than you're running amd64 and trying to install an i386 package, or running i386 and trying to install an amd64 package (not sure which) | 02:43 |
| jlc | Wyzard, yes running AMD64 Ubuntu. | 02:43 |
| ubuntu__ | and one more question how can i get on to irc channel withput add/remove program | 02:43 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | im switching to generic. although 386 sounds way cooler | 02:43 |
| Ice_Wewe | ubuntu__: 'sudo apt-get install xchat' | 02:44 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 02:44 |
| mevsthevoices | No sound in 386 | 02:44 |
| Wyzard | jlc: You can't install an i386 .deb on amd64 Ubuntu... do they have an amd64 .deb? | 02:44 |
| ubuntu__ | thz | 02:44 |
| opop | Ice_Wewe, not technically true | 02:44 |
| Starnestommy | skrag: I think I've heard about sonme people haing similar problems with wireshark | 02:44 |
| Ice_Wewe | opop: well, for all intensive purposes... | 02:44 |
| jlc | genii, not sure, are you asking if I downloaded the AMD64 package driver? | 02:44 |
| oceanvessel__ | ice weve, I am aware of that | 02:44 |
| opop | intents &, but i know what you mean\ | 02:44 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | ok 1 sec. i'll download generic | 02:44 |
| Ice_Wewe | opop: if you *really* wanted to screw it up... | 02:44 |
| oceanvessel__ | but I'd like to give it a try | 02:44 |
| Neo_The_Anderson | can i have time? | 02:44 |
| Ice_Wewe | oceanvessel__: why? | 02:44 |
| jlc | Wyzard, guess not, any idea where to get it? | 02:44 |
| Ice_Wewe | oceanvessel__: why can't you just enter your user password at the prompts and change settings there? or use sudo in a terminal? | 02:44 |
| oceanvessel__ | not worth the hassle | 02:45 |
| Wyzard | jlc: same place you got the i386 one, I guess | 02:45 |
| genii | jlc: You either have i386 installed and trying to install amd64 package, or you have amd64 installed and trying to install i386 package. Either way get the one for what you're running. | 02:45 |
| Ward1983 | why do i have so much problems with sharing a d@$n directory, am i too retarded to do that? | 02:45 |
| jlc | Wyzard, not one there and I need my lightscribe. | 02:45 |
| oceanvessel__ | hey opop???, U got that?? | 02:45 |
| Ward1983 | or is it jsut a bit unconventional in ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| jlc | genii, I guess I have the i386.deb file | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | if only someone would tell me....... | 02:46 |
| neo_ | wjhat would happen if i didn't have a kernel? | 02:46 |
| norv | Ward1983: with what other OS? | 02:46 |
| Starnestommy | norv: nothing would work | 02:46 |
| opop | neo_, you wouldn't boot | 02:46 |
| neo_ | like if i un-installed them? | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | norv, no both linux | 02:46 |
| Starnestommy | er, | 02:46 |
| kuma | hi, i've just reformated my fat32 partition and now i cant mount it, can somebody help me? this is the /etc/fstab http://www.nopaste.com/p/a0puFYqIfb | 02:46 |
| Starnestommy | neo_: nothing would work | 02:46 |
| norv | Ward1983: network? | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | nori, one ubuntu 7.04 qnd one 7.10 | 02:46 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: we are a bit understaffed at the moment--> the nfs gurus should be along a bit later if that helps | 02:46 |
| Wyzard | jlc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106197 | 02:46 |
| opop | oceanvessel__, hold, please | 02:46 |
| neo_ | cool. so if i wanted to mess up my computer i could un-install the kernel?? | 02:46 |
| Wyzard | jlc: hmm, nevermind, that's outdated | 02:47 |
| jlc | Wyzard, ty, will try it. | 02:47 |
| Starnestommy | neo_: it might not let you uninstall it | 02:47 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, sure, its just very frustrating for me that im unable to do such a simple task | 02:47 |
| oceanvessel__ | you wanted to make sure you got that | 02:47 |
| bazhang | neo_: doesnt work like taht | 02:47 |
| Wyzard | jlc: anyway, the Lightscribe driver for Linux is closed-source, I believe | 02:47 |
| jlc | Wyzard, ok | 02:47 |
| mevsthevoices | I need to pipe the stdout from a bg process in to a file without suspending te process? Any would this work if I sent it to /dev/null (to delete it). Anyone know how? | 02:47 |
| Ward1983 | nori, how do you mean? | 02:47 |
| Ward1983 | nori, sorry wrong highlight | 02:47 |
| neo_ | wasn't palnning on it anyway. just curious, thats all. | 02:47 |
| jlc | Wyzard, meaning??? | 02:47 |
| Ward1983 | norv, how do you mean? | 02:47 |
| skrag | so say i run ifconfig and i see an un-familiar eth0:avshi in the list, is this somone attached to my computer? | 02:47 |
| bazhang | skrag: no | 02:47 |
| norv | Ward1983: are you sharing them over a network or dual booting? | 02:47 |
| Wyzard | jlc: meaning that if they don't provide an amd64 version of it, there's nothing you can do about it | 02:47 |
| Starnestommy | skrag: no, it's just another interface | 02:47 |
| neo_ | what is the difference between X86 and i386? | 02:48 |
| cintia | hi somone asleep? | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | norv, im sharing the folders over a network offcourse yes, between a 7.10 and 7.04 machine | 02:48 |
| skrag | i guess i dont understand waht an "interface" is | 02:48 |
| Starnestommy | neo_: they're the same | 02:48 |
| opop | oceanvessel__, what are you trying to solve? | 02:48 |
| norv | Ward1983: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 02:48 |
| neo_ | so why have 2 different kernels for the same thing? | 02:48 |
| Starnestommy | skrag: it's a device that connects to the internet | 02:48 |
| cintia | ive some questions | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | cintia, you can jsut qsk your question | 02:48 |
| cintia | ok | 02:49 |
| bruce_ | hi, so total linux newb here, i was wondering if someone could help me get my monitor running at its native res | 02:49 |
| opop | neo_, the newer kernel might break something that used to work, so they give you a reversion option, an older, more stable kernel | 02:49 |
| cintia | ivim new here | 02:49 |
| skrag | starnestommy: from my machine out? does it allow access into my machine? | 02:49 |
| jlc | Wyzard, any idea who might be able to adapt it, re-write it... | 02:49 |
| norv | Ward1983: then once it's installed, it should start automatically. | 02:49 |
| mevsthevoices | burce_ sure | 02:49 |
| oceanvessel__ | I'm just trying to be able to get clicking capability after doing xrandr on my tablet pc | 02:49 |
| Wyzard | jlc: the company that provides it; they're the only ones who have the source code | 02:49 |
| CyberCod | think I found the firmware needed wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 | 02:49 |
| cintia | well im install my nvidia drivers whith envy | 02:49 |
| Starnestommy | skrag: it allows access both ways, but you can firewall them | 02:49 |
| norv | Ward1983: on the other machine, sudo apt-get install openssh-client | 02:49 |
| oceanvessel__ | already compile driver and applied patch | 02:49 |
| cintia | but now my kubuntu is gooing really slow | 02:49 |
| Ward1983 | cintia, no problem thats why i tell :) people here apprcieate it if you ask right away | 02:50 |
| bazhang | !envy | cintia | 02:50 |
| ubottu | cintia: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 02:50 |
| jlc | Wyzard, I might be able to reverse engineer it | 02:50 |
| neo_ | ok im switching to 386 to generic kernel right now | 02:50 |
| Ward1983 | norv, thats allready done | 02:50 |
| The_Bridge | hey guys,i finally solved the sudo problem,thank you all | 02:50 |
| The_Bridge | :) | 02:50 |
| opop | oceanvessel__, so, you mean you flipped your tablet pc and now you can't click? | 02:50 |
| norv | Ward1983: can you ping the box? | 02:50 |
| CyberCod | Phenomica: are you on an ubuntu machine now? | 02:50 |
| neo_ | ok im switching to 386 to generic kernel right now | 02:50 |
| Wyzard | jlc: If you have experience doing that sort of thing, feel free, and document what you find | 02:50 |
| Ward1983 | norv, offcourse, im connected with it even | 02:50 |
| cintia | ok | 02:50 |

| Phenomica | Trying to create a shared internet connection, so I atleast get wired connection | 02:51 |
| opop | oceanvessel__, what tablet are you using? | 02:51 |
| CyberCod | can you burn disks or use a usb drive to transfer files? | 02:51 |
| Phenomica | Yea | 02:51 |
| neo_ | bazhang am i in trouble? | 02:51 |
| CyberCod | download this http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 | 02:51 |
| cintia | Ward1983: i did that becouse i wanted to run compiz | 02:51 |
| bazhang | neo_: 17? there is no such thing | 02:51 |
| Ward1983 | norv, im just saying im conencted to it, so yes, i can piung it | 02:51 |
| mevsthevoices | Uhh I dunno lets try | 02:51 |
| cintia | but everithin go wrong | 02:51 |

| Paddy_EIRE | !upgrade > Paddy_EIRE | 02:51 |
| Phenomica | Got it | 02:52 |
| bazhang | neo_: best to go for 16 | 02:52 |
| mevsthevoices | bruce_ did you get that? | 02:52 |
| Ward1983 | cintia, normqlly you should instqll the nvidia driver trough system -> administration -> restricted drivers | 02:52 |
| neo_ | ok i'll downgrade after i finsih installing the 17 | 02:52 |
| oceanvessel__ | cx2735m gateway | 02:52 |

| bazhang | neo_: haha no | 02:52 |
| oceanvessel__ | with FPI2004 | 02:52 |

| bruce_ | no dont think so? | 02:53 |
| bruce_ | lol | 02:53 |
| mevsthevoices | Grrr | 02:53 |
| norv | Ward1983: is that what you are looking to do? | 02:53 |
| neo_ | bazhang you sure 16 not 17? 17 is newer. | 02:53 |
| bruce_ | i see your private message, thats about it | 02:53 |
| bruce_ | im firewalled right now | 02:53 |
| neo_ | why wouldn't i want the newer one? | 02:53 |
| mevsthevoices | Shouldn't matter | 02:53 |
| bazhang | neo_: newer is not always better :) | 02:53 |
| neo_ | no?? | 02:54 |
| Ward1983 | norv, the goal of sharing the directory is because i want to backup an image to it from a comt with only one (good as full) halddrive | 02:54 |
| bruce_ | i'm using xchat, does that make a difference | 02:54 |
| Phenomica | brb' | 02:54 |
| mevsthevoices | Shouldn't | 02:54 |
| neo_ | im using xchat gnome. gnome what m saying? | 02:54 |
| Ward1983 | norv, because the comp has no place i need to backup tha images to another comp ver network, which apperantly is rocketscience for some insane reason | 02:54 |
| DefineKThyne | can i get DRM media streams to run in firefox? | 02:54 |
| cintia | Ward1983: before doing that my kubuntu was ok! | 02:54 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: maybe | 02:54 |
| Ward1983 | norv, forgive my frustration | 02:54 |
| mevsthevoices | bruce_: anyway whats the problem? | 02:55 |
| norv | Ward1983: then you just do it backwards :P | 02:55 |
| === neo_ is now known as Kernel16vs17 | ||
| SeaPhor | cintia, please listen to Ward1983 , I had used envy when i first started and i'm still cleaning up the mess it left behind | 02:55 |
| Ward1983 | cintia, oh oops its kubuntu, no experience with that one | 02:55 |
| CyberCod | Phenomica: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/b43-fwcutter get all the dependencies too | 02:55 |
| Ward1983 | cintia, try #kubuntu | 02:55 |
| bruce_ | so I can't get my monitor to run at native res | 02:55 |
| norv | Ward1983: wait, are you using kubuntu? | 02:56 |
| cached | what group do i add a user to so that he has sudo access? | 02:56 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: can you give me some pointers? i already have all the codecs and restricted extras installed. | 02:56 |
| mevsthevoices | You should be able too | 02:56 |
| bazhang | bruce_: sure you can | 02:56 |
| Ward1983 | norv, offcourse not, but cintia is | 02:56 |
| bruce_ | 1680x1050 is my native res, 1280x800 is all I can see | 02:56 |
| Starnestommy | cached: admin | 02:56 |
| mevsthevoices | Ohh | 02:56 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: what drm--link and I will test | 02:56 |
| mevsthevoices | Ok I had the exact same problem | 02:56 |
| mevsthevoices | Your on gutsy? | 02:56 |
| norv | Ward1983: meh, all I know is command line and KDE really | 02:56 |
| bruce_ | i've looked around a little, i tried using the xorg automatic config utility, but that didnt catch it | 02:56 |
| Ward1983 | norv, how do you mean backwards? | 02:56 |
| norv | Ward1983: forgive me if I am confusing | 02:56 |
| bruce_ | yes 8.10 lts, with nvidia drivers | 02:56 |
| Trizzle | can anyone tell me how to reset the root password on a fresh install? | 02:56 |
| bruce_ | which didnt work yesterday, but now do :) | 02:57 |
| Starnestommy | Trizzle: there is no root password | 02:57 |
| acegikm2 | I'm looking at picking up a canon pixma mp970, is it going to be as difficult to get working with hardy as my initial googling suggests? | 02:57 |
| norv | Ward1983: scp norv@eeenon:code.cpp file1.cpp | 02:57 |
| bazhang | Trizzle: there isnt one | 02:57 |
| John_S | I've had two programs that give me a similar error: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv | 02:57 |
| Trizzle | oh, well thanks :) | 02:57 |
| mevsthevoices | Wait your on hardy? | 02:57 |
| John_S | Has anyone seen this type of error? | 02:57 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: i'm just asking for a friend who asked me, tbh. | 02:57 |
| bruce_ | oh yah | 02:57 |
| bazhang | acegikm2: best check the forums on that | 02:57 |
| bruce_ | sorry hardy | 02:57 |
| mevsthevoices | Okie doke, if autoconfig doesn't catch it you need to go put in a mode line. Which is just loads of fun | 02:57 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: no idea without a link-->ask your friend for the link | 02:57 |

| tubatedd | Need help with getting graphics to work in ubuntu! | 02:58 |
| Ward1983 | norv, ok please read this, its the second time i'm gonna explain this: the ultimate goal is to backup images from my partitions on the HD of my old computer, onto my new one over network, my old comp has NO space left for the images (not even for one) | 02:58 |
| acegikm2 | bazhang: ok cheers | 02:58 |
| bazhang | bruce_: what does sudo displayconfig-gtk do (and then restart X) | 02:58 |
| bruce_ | just to double check though, i ran $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg | 02:58 |
| bruce_ | i can try that | 02:58 |
| Ward1983 | norv, so your command is of no use to me since i cannot create the images locally, nospace | 02:58 |
| bazhang | bruce_: that no longer does much in hardy | 02:58 |
| ChrisUSB | hola! | 02:58 |
| bruce_ | ahhh... | 02:58 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: i'll take a look around, i think i remember what she was talking about. in the meantime, what has an effect on whether or not the stream will work? | 02:58 |
| CyberCod | Phenomica: you still around? | 02:58 |
| bruce_ | so i was reading an old guide :) | 02:58 |
| norv | Ward1983: umm, you are copying to another machine | 02:58 |
| mevsthevoices | Yea | 02:58 |
| catron | I am having a problem with synaptic (and any other installer of that nature that downloads files) | 02:58 |
| bruce_ | ill try that and let you know | 02:59 |
| tubatedd | how can i do the "ubuntu setup" of graphics? | 02:59 |
| catron | apt-get works fine though | 02:59 |
| bazhang | bruce_: more like the guides have not bee n updated but yes | 02:59 |
| Ward1983 | norv, i need to make the image from the old machine, onto the new one | 02:59 |
| norv | Ward1983: eeenon is the computer with space | 02:59 |
| mevsthevoices | !modeline | 02:59 |
| ubottu | A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl | 02:59 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, do you have a larger HD available, to ghost the image to? | 02:59 |
| Ward1983 | norv, eeenon? :s | 02:59 |
| tubatedd | i mean.. what should i type to configure the resolution and graphics card type in ubunty=? | 02:59 |
| osmosis | any help with this? http://dpaste.com/48066/ | 02:59 |
| foxhop | I'm having trouble with VirtualBOX | 02:59 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: no time for an inchannel tutorial sorry-->if you get the link let me know however | 02:59 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, i just have plenty of space on my new comp, and none on the old one, and the old one needs to be backupped | 02:59 |
| catron | anyone know why it can't connect to the hardy servers? | 03:00 |
| foxhop | VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. | 03:00 |
| norv | Ward1983: asus eee, heard of those? | 03:00 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, i have no HD i can put onto the old comp | 03:00 |
| meuerro | tubatedd, you have to edit xorg.conf | 03:00 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, i mean no extra | 03:00 |
| bazhang | foxhop install them | 03:00 |
| Ward1983 | norv, nope | 03:00 |
| norv | Ward1983: PM please, for things likely not of interest to others | 03:00 |
| foxhop | Shouldn't that be installed automatically bazhang? | 03:00 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: thats fine. Do you think could you give me an idea where to look for a tutorial then? | 03:00 |
| bazhang | foxhop: different kernels need different ones | 03:01 |
| Ward1983 | norv, ok saw your PM | 03:01 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: what is the drm type | 03:01 |
| tubatedd | meuerro: ok. but isnt there any install programs that can help me detect and install the graphics resolution and the card? (i got G35) | 03:01 |
| norv | Ward1983: super ultraportable laptops which are horrible for carpal tunnel | 03:01 |
| catron | so... | 03:01 |
| foxhop | bazhang: do you know which I would need? | 03:01 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: i think she was working with an encrypted WMV | 03:01 |
| foxhop | Intel x64 bit | 03:01 |
| john | so I just had a crazy idea, would it be possible to make a laptop touchpad function purely as a scroll wheel? You know how if you move your finger on the right side it will scroll up and down, could you make it so it would d othat for the entirety of the pad and also move left and right? It would be awesome to pan around documents with that | 03:01 |
| MagoonD | what can I use as an itunes equivalent in ubuntu gutsy? | 03:01 |
| bazhang | foxhop: the one that matches your kernel | 03:01 |
| Ward1983 | norv, what do horrible laptops have to do with sharing a folder of backup up my old system :p | 03:02 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, $20 will get you a IDE/SATA-to-USB device to mount a HD as an external if you just want to transfer files? | 03:02 |
| bazhang | MagoonD: there are several | 03:02 |
| meuerro | tubatedd, I have no idea of what problem you have, nor your current setup, therefore can't know what you are trying to fix | 03:02 |
| dabbill | I made a boo boo and cant seem to fix it. I installed beta drivers off nvidia.com and now i cant get any drivers to work and get me out of low graphics mode. | 03:02 |
| MagoonD | bazhang, which one do you recommend? | 03:02 |
| DefineKThyne | MagoonD: i think iTunes was just made WINE compatible, but i'm not sure | 03:02 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, not needed, i have a network | 03:02 |
| foxhop | Bazhang: How would I find a list of modules so I could match it up? | 03:02 |
| bazhang | !players | MagoonD see here | 03:02 |
| ubottu | MagoonD see here: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 03:02 |
| bazhang | foxhop: in synaptic | 03:02 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, if i cannot even backup my stuff over network in a none insane way im going back to windows | 03:02 |
| edd_ | hello there!! | 03:03 |
| catron | you guys are no help :( | 03:03 |
| cached | Is there a way to ease the password restrictions on my system? | 03:03 |
| bruce_ | bazhang you still there | 03:03 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: please dont do that we need you here | 03:03 |
| cached | as in, i really don't care if someone has the password hithere | 03:03 |
| meuerro | cached: depends what you want to unrestrict | 03:03 |
| bazhang | yes bruce_ | 03:03 |
| bruce_ | so i ran the command you suggested, it basically opens a dialog for screen and graphics preferences | 03:03 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, can you not see your shared directories thru the network? | 03:03 |
| meuerro | cached: not caring about passwords and permissions, usually leads to troubles | 03:04 |
| bruce_ | still doesnt give me an option for the correct res, but this seems to let you choose your monitor | 03:04 |
| dabbill | I made a boo boo and cant seem to fix it. I installed beta drivers off nvidia.com and now i cant get any drivers to work and get me out of low graphics mode. How can i get back to the restricted driver in Hardy? | 03:04 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, correct | 03:04 |
| _adriaan_ | bazhang: wow, you really do work 24/7. I should really keep that in mind. | 03:04 |
| bazhang | bruce_: this is hardy? | 03:04 |
| bruce_ | yes | 03:04 |
| bruce_ | sorry if i didnt mention that | 03:04 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, what file sys is the old hd? | 03:04 |
| catron | :(:( | 03:04 |
| norv | Ward1983: SeaPhor: they aren't shared directories are they? I thought you were just connecting via ssh | 03:04 |
| bazhang | bruce_: you may want to try envyng-gtk | 03:04 |
| gimplandecker | to all: can i restore deleted files from home/(mypcname/Desktop i got a mistake | 03:04 |
| bazhang | _adriaan_: :] | 03:04 |
| cached | why is g0ph3r too simple a password :\ | 03:05 |
| meuerro | dabbill: is synaptic working? if so, use that | 03:05 |
| bruce_ | isn't that for video drivers? | 03:05 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, im not giving up this easy, im jsut frustrated because its such a simple task and i cant do it | 03:05 |
| bazhang | cached easy to brute force | 03:05 |
| norv | SeaPhor: Ward1983: fs format doesn't matter, it's being done over the network.. so you would be using sshfs | 03:05 |
| gimplandecker | i use sudo rm -r * | 03:05 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, frustrated people say stuff they dont mean | 03:05 |
| dabbill | meuerro, what driver do i need to install with that for a 8800GT, and what do i need to remove? | 03:05 |
| DefineKThyne | bazhang: couldn't she maybe run the stream through a browser on WINE? | 03:05 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: in another hour or so--> some really smart people should arrive | 03:05 |
| Trizzle | Well, I just made the switch to Ubuntu from windows and I have to say....I dig it so far. Now lets see if I can get everything working | 03:05 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, well technically yes, but permissions do matter | 03:05 |
| tubatedd | meuerro: my problem is that when i want to select resolution, i can only select up to 1600. And my screen and graphics card (which is intel G35) supports 1920 resolution. can you help now? | 03:05 |
| zChris | dabbill: Ubuntu should fix everythin automaticly | 03:05 |
| Ward1983 | norv, sshfs , what is that? (i know what ssh is) | 03:05 |
| dabbill | zChris, so far its not | 03:06 |
| norv | Ward1983: tar czvf images.tar.gz dir_with_images | 03:06 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, how do you mean? | 03:06 |
| zChris | dabbill: weird, did it for me :) | 03:06 |
| cached | this really isn't something requiring much security. not more than 3 people will even know this machine exists :\ | 03:06 |
| meuerro | tubatedd, did you already try searching your graphcard model on the forums? | 03:06 |
| bazhang | gimplandecker: please dont suggest that here without warnings attached | 03:06 |
| catron | wtf | 03:06 |
| Ward1983 | norv, im not sure how you mean that and where to run it from, etc | 03:06 |
| norv | Ward1983: scp images.tar.gz user@other_computer:images.tar.gz | 03:06 |
| catron | I cannot dl any updates from apt-get, synaptic, etc | 03:06 |
| meuerro | tubatedd, otherwise do a search on synaptic for "intel" and read each package's infos | 03:06 |
| Takalius | darrend, are you there? | 03:06 |
| catron | I am connected to the internet (talking to you guys) | 03:07 |
| norv | Ward1983: you know where your image directory is, right? | 03:07 |
| bazhang | DefineKThyne: really need to know drm type thanks | 03:07 |
| Ward1983 | norv, only i dont have images.tar.gz, i dont have any room for it | 03:07 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, is there a router involved or thru a switch? | 03:07 |
| norv | Ward1983: oh, duh, sorry | 03:07 |
| The_Bridge | why's it take like years for kde based apps like kopete and amarok to open? | 03:07 |
| zChris | catron: what error do you get then ? | 03:07 |
| edd_ | hi!... does anybody know how to make a .lo file?... | 03:07 |
| catron | Unable to connect | 03:07 |
| gimplandecker | before i want to delete files from trash use > cd .Trash / sudo rm -r* it works but i want to see the function,twice and hit enter so my folders gone from my desktop | 03:07 |
| meuerro | dabbill: use synaptic to look up the manufacturers name | 03:07 |
| catron | 1 sec will get specific | 03:07 |
| Ward1983 | norv, lol no problem its late :) (at least here in belgium it is) | 03:07 |

| norv | Ward1983: well then scp images_directory username@other_computer:/put/images/here | 03:08 |
| meuerro | dabbill, you'll get 2 or 3 packs at most, each with the models they're useful for indicated in the info | 03:08 |

| edd_ | anybody??... know .lo files?? | 03:09 |
| bazhang | MagoonD: then amarok (hardy?) | 03:09 |
| SeaPhor | Ward1983, so the port is open and ,,, you can see the files ,,, ? | 03:09 |
| Starnestommy | TooFly: but links2, w3m, elinks, lynx, konqueror, opera, and epiphany also exist | 03:09 |
| meuerro | dabbill: once you have the correct drivers, if the resolution is not supported, you have to open xorg.conf and add it manually in the appropriate section | 03:09 |
| Ward1983 | norv, if i COPY the images that means i have them on the machine, which is impossible to to room restrictions | 03:09 |
| edd_ | please!! | 03:09 |
| catron | zChris: many errors like these: http://rafb.net/p/ZelGuj17.html | 03:09 |

| dabbill | meuerro, xorg.conf is stup correctly, but it wont load nvidia module, keeps going to vesa | 03:09 |
| neo_ | i switched from .16 386 to .17 generic | 03:09 |
| pwn247 | TooFly, what browser? | 03:09 |
| TooFly | I have disabled IPv6 on my system and in firefox, and it hasn't helped. | 03:09 |

| norv | Ward1983: well then scp -r images_directory username@other_computer:put/images/here | 03:10 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, yet i have a directory shared on it, and i added my comp to the hosts that are allowed to access it | 03:10 |

| tessa | no "export" in ubuntu ? | 03:10 |
| norv | Ward1983: you said you could SHELL TO IT.. now you claim you can't see it at all? | 03:10 |
| TooFly | pwn247: Yeah, I changed the ipv6ignore to true | 03:10 |
| bazhang | norv: please calm down | 03:10 |
| Gramble | NO PUBLIC KEY in apt-get | 03:10 |
| Ward1983 | norv, again i have no room for the images so i cannot make them and then copy them, they need to be made onto the new comp directly | 03:10 |
| norv | bazhang: sorry | 03:10 |
| catron | anything zChris??? | 03:10 |
| meuerro | dabbill, you mean _both_ the resolution you want, and the name of the package you installed for the driver are specified and marked as active in xorg.conf? | 03:10 |
| neo_ | i would suggest making a notice about audio problems on .16 386 kernels | 03:10 |
| pwn247 | TooFly: change it back to normal- to it's default value. | 03:10 |
| dabbill | meuerro, yes | 03:11 |

| bazhang | neo_: what is it | 03:11 |
| pwn247 | TooFly, if it doesn't work you should give a go at making a new Firefox Profile. | 03:11 |
| Starnestommy | tessa: the "export" command does exist in ubuntu | 03:11 |
| meuerro | dabbill, you did log out and log back in after making the changes, right? | 03:11 |

| Ward1983 | norv, yep i can do that | 03:12 |
| norv | Ward1983: so you can see it | 03:12 |
| TooFly | pwn247: Ok, how do I do that? Also, I ran an offline install since in the past my install would hang at "Configuring apt...". Could this be the culprit? | 03:12 |
| tessa | sudo:export: command not found | 03:12 |
| meuerro | dabbill, then I'm out of options :( but I'm just a newbie :) | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | insomnia: AVI is propritary and when you click on one it should say about installing the programs you need to play AVI | 03:12 |
| Starnestommy | tessa: I think it's a builtin shell command. | 03:12 |
| norv | Ward1983: scp -r images_directory username@new:put/images/here | 03:12 |

| SeaPhor | Ward1983, then I'm sorry bro, I tried what i know and "ain't gonna blow any smoke" i wish i could help | 03:15 |
| pwn247 | ubottu owned you guys. | 03:15 |
| insomnia_ | what type of shell does ubuntu use? and does it vary with version? | 03:15 |
| Ward1983 | norv, i allready have a good tool for backups i just need to damn folder shared so i can make my backup[ to it | 03:15 |
| linkinxp | hello i just got an update to update the kernel to .17 and i did but it still shows the version as 16 wonder why??? | 03:15 |
| iago1981 | lol ubottu is a noob! OMG ROFLMAO :-P (kidding) | 03:15 |
| Bodsda | pwn247: thats what he's there for ;~) | 03:15 |
| r00tintheb0x | It was a joke Bodsda | 03:15 |
| pwn247 | Bobsda: you betcha. | 03:15 |
| TooFly | pwn247: I see. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu (firefox packaged), no changes! Is it still necessary to make a new profile. | 03:15 |
| norv | Ward1983: oh, what program for backups? | 03:15 |
| Starnestommy | insomnia_: bash, although initramfs prompts use busybox | 03:15 |
| bazhang | linkinxp: you need to restart for that | 03:15 |
| Ward1983 | SeaPhor, no problem | 03:15 |
| r00tintheb0x | Jesus... you LOL natzi. | 03:15 |
| linkinxp | bazhang, i did | 03:16 |
| Ward1983 | norv, nothing that has built-in network capabillity | 03:16 |
| fiyawerx | lol @ lol nazi | 03:16 |
| Ward1983 | norv, mondo | 03:16 |
| pwn247 | TooFly: if your original Firefox install somehow gets mucked up, it's always good to just throw in a new profile. It wipes out any about:config edits and malicious addons. | 03:16 |
| insomnia_ | starnestommy: thanks | 03:16 |
| neo_ | why are we talking about nazis in here? | 03:16 |
| r00tintheb0x | Ha! | 03:16 |
| iago1981 | r00tintheb0x: you would have a much more hilarious name if it was "Itsmyrootinabox" | 03:16 |
| Bodsda | bazhang: would he need to install headers for the new kernel? | 03:16 |
| r00tintheb0x | Word iago1981 | 03:16 |
| === neo_ is now known as Got | ||
| bazhang | neo_: dont feed the troll | 03:16 |
| r00tintheb0x | I cant be THAT creative though, its a fam chan. | 03:16 |
| r00tintheb0x | =) | 03:16 |
| Got | sorry baz | 03:16 |
| ouellettesr | Hello anyone know how to convert a .3g2 file? | 03:16 |
| opop | i made the mistake of buying a usb n-card at the local office supply store... | 03:17 |
| === chad__ is now known as caexo | ||
| === Got is now known as Got_Root | ||
| iago1981 | yeah, talk about how I can connect XP to Ubuntu using a crossover cable | 03:17 |
| norv | Ward1983: sorry, all I use is rsync and it's bound to be over your head (it's a command line tool) | 03:17 |
| biouser | Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem | 03:17 |
| dimedo | hey there, is there any way to download sources or installing local .deb packages with aptitude? | 03:17 |
| biouser | after hardy upgrade | 03:17 |
| MagoonD | what the heck no matter what program i use to manage my ipod on ubuntu gutsy i cannot manage the ipod playlists | 03:17 |
| opop | it doesn't even have 64-bit winders drivers. | 03:17 |
| cycom | norv: ooooh, harsh :) | 03:17 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: rsync and sbackup are good | 03:17 |
| dasguy | hi | 03:17 |
| pwn247 | To be honest, guys, I'm on WinXP at the moment -_-. | 03:17 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, will check sbackup | 03:17 |
| oceanvessel__ | thanks opop, I'm sohack by the way | 03:18 |
| jappdev | ouellettesr: mencoder? | 03:18 |
| oceanvessel__ | on that thread | 03:18 |
| fiyawerx | dimedo, sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb | 03:18 |
| Ward1983 | norv, i used rsync once on my PDA which runs debian, but i dont remember anymore how | 03:18 |
| fiyawerx | rsync has some good examples in its man page | 03:18 |
| dasguy | i'm currently running ubuntu as a live cd on my laptop, so i can backup files over the network to my pc | 03:19 |
| norv | cycom: well, it is harder than just doing a remote copy :P which i thought was the original goal, not keeping a backup updated | 03:19 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, will look into sbackup, didnt came across the name | 03:19 |
| bruce_ | bazhang sorry i tried running envyng but no luck | 03:19 |
| dasguy | i've managed to get an ftp server open on my windows box and i'm transferring that way | 03:19 |
| MagoonD | i need an ipod manager that also lets me manage playlists on my ipod, i tried audacious, banshee and rhythm they dont let me manage my plalists | 03:19 |
| norv | Ward1983: and it'd also likely require installing it on the old computer :) | 03:19 |
| TeMagic | hi everyboidy! I have a couple of problems I would really appreciate some help with... | 03:19 |
| cycom | norv: hehe | 03:19 |
| dimedo | fiyawerx: sure, i know that way, but if additional dependencies have to be installed, it would be nice if aptitude would know about that to clean up unused stuff if i have to remove that package later on | 03:19 |
| dasguy | but it's proving really slow and unreliable :( | 03:19 |
| Ward1983 | norv, lol thats no problem offcourse | 03:19 |
| bazhang | bruce_: with a restart? | 03:19 |
| jappdev | MagoonD; Amarok or Rythmbox | 03:19 |
| meuerro | MagoonD, try Gtkpod | 03:19 |
| cached | is it possible to have ssh working on multiple ports? | 03:20 |
| dasguy | i fear my plea for help is being lost 8D | 03:20 |
| biouser | Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem | 03:20 |
| biouser | after hardy upgrade | 03:20 |
| taidaishar | can anyone help me get a broadcom wireless card working? | 03:20 |
| bruce_ | well i tried installing yesterday and it didnt work, actually made things worse | 03:20 |
| fiyawerx | dimedo, how would aptitude know about a regular deb's depencies if it wasn't in the repo | 03:20 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, sbackups info looks very promising, will try it | 03:20 |
| bazhang | dasguy: we need tons more info to help | 03:20 |
| norv | Ward1983: sshfs is one of the few options, which mounts a remote directory | 03:20 |
| fiyawerx | don't think the info is in a deb itself | 03:20 |
| bruce_ | today i tried using hte built in install for the propierty Nvidia drivers | 03:20 |
| fiyawerx | most apps will tell you what they need tho, not too hard to install usually | 03:20 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: its little known but fairly nice | 03:20 |
| bruce_ | and now it works, it boots and the screen displays ok, and now desktop affects are enabled | 03:20 |
| bruce_ | so i think my graphics driver is ok | 03:20 |
| dimedo | fiyawerx: as far as i know the deps are noted inside the packages | 03:20 |
| fiyawerx | ah, not sure | 03:21 |
| meuerro | I'd confirm that | 03:21 |
| foxhop | bazhang - The error was false! The true problem was that my user wasn't added to the vboxusers group | 03:21 |
| meuerro | more than once I've downloaded a deb | 03:21 |
| bazhang | bruce_: great news | 03:21 |
| foxhop | bazhang: Thanks for the assistance though | 03:21 |
| meuerro | and right clicking on it, it would tell me if there were dependencies missing | 03:21 |
| bazhang | foxhop: you got it? nicely done | 03:21 |
| bruce_ | but the screen res still wont go up to my native :) | 03:21 |
| foxhop | : ) | 03:22 |
| taidaishar | can someone explain the b43-fwcutter thingy to me please? | 03:22 |
| fiyawerx | meuerro, good to know thanks | 03:22 |
| TooFly | Question: I have a fresh install of Ubuntu (offline install, so didn't 'Configure apt'). I am having problems loading the large majority of web pages. Can anyone help? | 03:22 |
| bruce_ | so now there's something wrong with the monitor config it hink | 03:22 |
| bazhang | bruce_: add the modelines then to your xorg | 03:22 |
| TooFly | pwn247: Making a new profile did not help, unfortunately | 03:22 |
| MagoonD | when I am installing amarok i get this error http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/postgresql-8.3/libpq5_8.3.0-1~gutsy1_i386.deb not found 404 | 03:22 |
| bruce_ | what do i need at those lines, | 03:22 |
| bruce_ | my xorg seems weird, it doesnt detect anything | 03:22 |
| arvind_khadri | TooFly, web pages aint related to apt | 03:22 |
| kontrol | hello.. can someone help me? ican't make my ndiswrapper module to work | 03:22 |
| fiyawerx | bruce_, what kind of card? | 03:22 |
| meuerro | fiyawerx, right clicking on a deb should offer the option "open with gdebi package installer", which will also allow you to install required dependencies before installing the package you have at hand | 03:23 |
| bazhang | TooFly: edit sources.list then update and upgrade and try again | 03:23 |
| kontrol | i type modinfo mdiswrapper and it show module's info | 03:23 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Sorry, I am new... could you explain a little more? | 03:23 |
| kontrol | but i can't see my wireless card in ifconfig | 03:23 |
| bruce_ | oh hmm | 03:23 |
| kontrol | can some please help me? | 03:23 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, try modprobe | 03:23 |
| biouser | excuse me, anyone know of an easy fix here | 03:23 |
| dimedo | fiyawerx: it seems that the apt system isn't complete at the moment, aptitudes auto cleanup is very nice but there seem to be a lot of ways to get that all fucked up | 03:23 |
| biouser | Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem | 03:23 |
| biouser | after hardy upgrade | 03:23 |
| bruce_ | after i ran that command you said earlier, it seems to look more how i'd expect | 03:23 |
| kontrol | i already did modprobe ndiswrapper | 03:23 |
| bruce_ | just reopened it | 03:23 |
| fiyawerx | bruce_, nvidia? | 03:23 |
| bruce_ | so do i just need to add the correct res/refresh to the modes line? | 03:24 |
| nomi | I am trying to share a folder via network but get this error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares | 03:24 |
| TeMagic | Does enybody here know how to change the color of the text on the upper bar from black to for instance white? | 03:24 |
| bruce_ | yes, 8800gts 320MB | 03:24 |
| fiyawerx | bruce_, same card as me | 03:24 |
| bazhang | bruce as well as the 1900xwhatever you wanted | 03:24 |
| fiyawerx | bruce_, use nvidia-settings to make it easy for you | 03:24 |
| CaBlGuY | I'm having an issue with Nvidia drivers on an alienware laptop, anyone help me out? | 03:24 |
| fiyawerx | it opens a windows like graphical display control panel | 03:24 |
| nomi | You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. | 03:24 |
| bruce_ | but i think it may be related to my monitor as well as the video driver | 03:24 |
| bazhang | TeMagic: themes | 03:24 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: i already did modprobe ndiswrapper | 03:24 |
| bruce_ | is that a utility or a xorg setting | 03:24 |
| TooFly | bazhang: what do you mean by 'edit sources.list'? | 03:25 |
| nomi | how to I share a folder on network | 03:25 |
| fiyawerx | the video driver in restricted works perfect for the 8800gts 320 | 03:25 |
| norv | Ward1983: sorry if I couldn't help you.. google sshfs if sbackup doesn't work out (I've never set it up, I'm too lazy) | 03:25 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, do lsmod and check whether the module is being used or not | 03:25 |
| fiyawerx | i installed that, then installed nvidia-settings, and used that to set up my 24 inch / 19 inch dual setup | 03:25 |
| fiyawerx | no manual config was necessary | 03:25 |
| TeMagic | bazhang: is that emerald theme manager? | 03:25 |
| Pelo | anyone else getting update checks every hour or so on hardy ? | 03:25 |
| caexo | wow... that alt-tab interface freaks out, flickers like mad when i switch between open dirs or whatever | 03:25 |
| bazhang | toofly sudo apt-get install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and tell us the url | 03:25 |
| CaBlGuY | anyone?? | 03:25 |
| friedtofu | Pelo: well. you could just turn it off | 03:25 |
| bruce_ | installed what? the driver? | 03:25 |
| bouma | good morning/arvo everyone, im about to embark on a fun and enticing experiment. to get a friend, who wants to know more about computers, to install ubuntu. im really loving 7.10 and 8.04 i used to use gentoo and i need them for fortran/lapack stuff, but ubuntu saves time :) | 03:26 |
| bruce_ | and then nvidia-settings? | 03:26 |
| Flank | when my computer freezes, is there some sort of log i can look at to see what went wrong | 03:26 |
| CaBlGuY | !alienware | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Factoid alienware not found | 03:26 |
| dabbill | any one know how to remove drivers that were installed from the nvidia installer? | 03:26 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: it says ndiswrapper 244736 0 | 03:26 |
| Pelo | friedtofu, where ? I know about daily checks but this is the first time in two years I'Ve seen hourly | 03:26 |
| arvind_khadri | !ot | bouma | 03:26 |
| ubottu | bouma: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:26 |
| kontrol | i guess that means its not used | 03:26 |
| bazhang | CaBlGuY: it may take more than 2 minutes to get an answer | 03:26 |
| taidaishar | does anyone here have a broadcom wireless card? | 03:26 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: it's not used! what can i do? | 03:26 |
| CaBlGuY | bazhang: yea, thanks for stating the obvious.. ;) | 03:27 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, there are columns when you enter it...its not being use... | 03:27 |
| Pelo | !broadcom | taidaishar | 03:27 |
| ubottu | taidaishar: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 03:27 |
| smmagic | Hi, is there anyway to make emesene and deluge start when I open ubuntu | 03:27 |
| friedtofu | Pelo: well. look for "sessions" and "services" you could just turn off automatic update checking and check manually via terminal ... i'd rather prefer that since it wont constantly check | 03:27 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, ndis for what?? | 03:27 |
| cancu | does anyone know any good hash function for strings??? | 03:27 |
| bouma | ubottu: arvind_khadri: ok yes, my question is, can i easily install a stock version of msoffice. its ms office2000 premium, using wine, under gentoo | 03:27 |
| bazhang | CaBlGuY: so saying anyone will speed things up | 03:27 |
| dabbill | hurm nice, i get the nvidia logo on startup, but then it goes to a funky screen with Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode thats mostly off the screen. | 03:27 |
| smmagic | Hi, is there anyway to make emesene and deluge start when I open ubuntu | 03:27 |
| arvind_khadri | bouma, we have open office why not that??? same funtionalities | 03:27 |
| nwidger | has anyone here had problems using crossover office in 8.04? | 03:27 |
| Pelo | ok later | 03:27 |
| cancu | does anyone know any good hash function for strings??? | 03:27 |
| cancu | :) | 03:27 |
| friedtofu | smmagic: go to your Sessions in your administration thing - add in "deluge" and "emesene" to startup | 03:28 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: because i can't make my realtek wireless card to work!! and i read some post about getting it done with ndiswrapper | 03:28 |
| TooFly | bazhang: I did sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and it output a few things, then "E: couldn't find package pastebinit" | 03:28 |
| bazhang | !repeat | cancu | 03:28 |
| ubottu | cancu: 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 | 03:28 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, for what are you using the ndiswrapper | 03:28 |
| smmagic | Thankyou very much friedtofu | 03:28 |
| Flank | after my ubuntu 8.04 freezes is there a log i can see to find out what went wrong | 03:28 |
| skrag | what is the tracker-applet running as a process on my heron? what does it do? | 03:28 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: for my realtek wireless card to work!! | 03:28 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, ok your card number and the ubuntu version | 03:28 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: ubuntu hardy, realtek 8187b | 03:29 |
| bouma | ubottu: arvind_khadri: cause i feel that if i could step my friend through that then there is literally nothing else that they use xp for. infact most of the needs they satisfy with xp. would be better served with ubuntu, from installation onwards | 03:29 |
| Suture | Just a quick question, is there ANY way of getting rid of mouseacceleration in Ubuntu? | 03:29 |
| fiyawerx | bruce_, yeah, I installed the drivers from the repo (nvidia-glx-new), then nvidia-settings, and then sudo nvidia-settings | 03:29 |
| === fiyawerx is now known as fiya_afk | ||
| neo_ | remember me? | 03:29 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol jus a min | 03:29 |
| meuerro | Flank, it should be in /var/logs | 03:29 |
| friedtofu | Suture: cant you just play around with your mouse settings? | 03:29 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: ok thanks | 03:29 |
| neo_ | is any yellow guys in here? | 03:29 |
| Suture | friedtofu, no it wont disable it. Where it says mouse acceleration, its actually the mouse sensitivity in Ubuntu | 03:29 |
| bazhang | TooFly: you need to open the sources.list file gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # in front of the repos then save it hit reload then try again to upgrade | 03:29 |
| Suture | ANd the sensitivity bar, doesnt do anything at all | 03:29 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, is it ok to just put / as the dir to backup? | 03:29 |
| bouma | ubottu: arvind_khadri: yes i could use openoffice, but i am pretty sure wine now runs office2000 really really well. so i just ask, is it possible to use it, in an easy to use, preferably gui way .. eg from add/remove (synaptic ?) | 03:30 |
| LinkNeoby | hi...anyone know software that can convert flv to avi? | 03:30 |
| jappdev | LinkNeoby: mencoder | 03:30 |
| neo_ | link try kino | 03:30 |
| Flank | meuerro witch log exactly (auth,deamon...) | 03:30 |
| arvind_khadri | bouma, you need to get wine from the repos... | 03:30 |
| bazhang | sbackup? it should do what you wish afaik | 03:30 |
| jappdev | LinkNeoby: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/mencoder.html | 03:30 |
| neo_ | is OSS open source? | 03:30 |
| arvind_khadri | bouma, get a cd of office xp and go installing | 03:31 |
| dbglt | my laptop seems to have switched off DMA mode on the local HDD after updating to hardy. I can't seem to reset the | 03:31 |
| dbglt | *this in hdparm | 03:31 |
| dbglt | any ideas? :\ | 03:31 |
| meuerro | Flank, I'm not sure, you'd have to think about what might have caused the crash (based on what you had running at the moment of the crash) | 03:31 |
| Suture | Anyone that knows how to DISABLE mouseacceleration in Ubuntu? | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, yes in sbackup, is it ok to put / as the dir to copy? can i then place my old system back and let the pc boot from it? | 03:31 |
| LinkNeoby | thanks all | 03:31 |
| neo_ | hello ward! | 03:31 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Do you mind if I private message you | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | hello neo_ | 03:31 |
| uberspaced | how do i tell if I have a 32 bit processor or a 64 bit processor | 03:31 |
| uberspaced | ? | 03:31 |
| bouma | ubottu: arvind_khadri: also, i would like to install a scanner/printer.. when i ran xsane, it picked up a digitaltv card, and only gave black frames.. what should i do wrt this, cause this would be beautiful.. as this particular printer isnt very easy to install under xp.. and im going to do a guided sidebyside comparison | 03:31 |
| mkquist | new problem after upgrade - when i enable the advanced desktop effects min/max toolbar and the ability to drag go away... | 03:31 |
| neo_ | how do i become yellow? | 03:31 |
| Flank | I know it freezes every time i watch flash like youtube | 03:32 |
| bazhang | best to do the command I said toofly busy atm | 03:32 |
| TeMagic | I'm trying to upgrade gutsy to the new 8.04 version.But I get an error message saying I do not have enough space on the "/boot". Does anybody here know how I can add more space to "/boot"? | 03:32 |
| Ward1983 | uberspaced, what cpu have you got? do you know that? | 03:32 |
| friedtofu | uberspaced: what is your processor? core2 duos will be amd64 | 03:32 |
| Starnestommy | neo_: what do you mean by that? | 03:32 |
| uberspaced | Ward1983 cat /proc/cpuinfo says clflush 64 | 03:32 |
| neo_ | starnestommy, your screen name is yellow | 03:32 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Ok, tried "gksudo gkedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and nothing happens | 03:32 |
| jcc | #ubutnu-fr | 03:32 |
| Ward1983 | neo_, keep asking silly questions, soneone will kick or ban you if you keep doing it | 03:32 |
| arvind_khadri | bouma, first google about the things someone in the ubuntu forums would have done all that | 03:32 |
| bouma | ubottu: arvind_khadri: this comp does have a digitaltv card btw, so the existence of the /dev/tv0 ? is not erroneous, and it works if i apt the right tv viewing proggy | 03:32 |
| friedtofu | uberspaced: uname -a | 03:32 |
| bazhang | toofly gedit | 03:32 |
| SeaPhor | kontrol, i have rtl8185 and seems to be same issue, i did this with 8.04 try looking at mine while arvind_khadri looks: http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=63 | 03:33 |
| Starnestommy | neo_: that's because I am saying something that has your nickname in it | 03:33 |
| neo_ | who is the mod in here anyway? | 03:33 |
| uberspaced | friedtofu heh; on 32 bit it doesn't say what it is. | 03:33 |
| Starnestommy | neo_: "/msg chanserv access #ubuntu list" will show the operators | 03:33 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaPhor, thanks am on the page now :) | 03:33 |
| kontrol | SeaPhor: Ok, i'll check that.. thanks! | 03:33 |
| Starnestommy | they're the ones at level 10 and above on that | 03:33 |
| friedtofu | uberspaced: yeah. so you're using 32 bit OS... it doesnt really matter unless you're going to go use 64 bit which is more difficult... >.> | 03:33 |
| SeaPhor | arvind_khadri, sorry, i type slow | 03:34 |
| neo_ | LinkNeoby, try kino | 03:34 |
| uberspaced | friedtofu here's the deal. somebody I know bought a new dell w/ ubuntu on it; but he doesn't know the arch. | 03:34 |
| bruce_ | ahh still cant quite get my screen resolution working | 03:34 |
| TeMagic | do I have to format and install from scratch? | 03:34 |
| osmosis | is there an easy way to convert FLAC to MP3 ? | 03:34 |
| bouma | arvind_khadri: thanks, yeah ive got the official 4cd set of office2000 sr1, i | 03:34 |
| friedtofu | uberspaced: does he know what setting he got? core2duo? | 03:34 |
| LinkNeoby | neo_: install kino now..thanks | 03:34 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Uncomment all URL lines? There are some that say "commented out because failed to verify..." | 03:34 |
| taidaishar | ubottu: sorry, im completely new to this, but where do I find b43-fwcutter? | 03:35 |
| neo_ | bruce_, did you try Envy? | 03:35 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaPhor, i meant that after you gave the link i went there | 03:35 |
| bruenig | !envy | 03:35 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 03:35 |
| DefineKThyne | is it normal for Gnome Window Decorator to take up a lot of memory? | 03:35 |
| bruce_ | envy caused me problems yesterday | 03:35 |
| bruce_ | i think the video driver is ok | 03:35 |
| bazhang | toofly those likely dont need src though | 03:35 |
| bruce_ | its the moniotr | 03:35 |
| uberspaced | friedtofu he's saying he got a core2duo | 03:35 |
| === jb_ is now known as tr30 | ||
| neo_ | bruce_, what is your video card? | 03:35 |
| bruce_ | 8800 gts 320mb | 03:35 |
| Mazus | :( just reinstalled ubunut, sound worked for half an hour than died again | 03:35 |
| Mazus | *ubuntu | 03:35 |
| Mazus | damn | 03:35 |
| neo_ | jeeze your rich! sorry | 03:35 |
| TooFly | bazhang: OK, I have uncommented the rest. How do I update/upgrade again? | 03:35 |
| bazhang | TooFly: save first | 03:36 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, look into the page SeaPhor gave that would help i feel | 03:36 |
| SeaPhor | arvind_khadri, :-)) thats my exp so far, have gone back to 7.10 to try | 03:36 |
| friedtofu | uberspaced: so the arch is x86_64 - it can run 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS... 32 bit is the standard right now... you wont really see much benefit from 64 bit unless you're doing something like video encoding | 03:36 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Done | 03:36 |
| neo_ | bruce_, did you try fixing it? | 03:36 |
| bruce_ | neo, copuld i try manually editing the xorg.conf file? | 03:36 |
| bazhang | then update and upgrade | 03:36 |
| sergio_ | hi, which is the best DOS emulator? | 03:36 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: ok, i'm on that! thanks.. i'' let you know what happens | 03:36 |
| mattgyver83 | dosbox | 03:36 |
| bruce_ | someone said they had the same video card, and they could get it working through the nvidia tools program | 03:36 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, sure :) | 03:36 |
| neo_ | bruce_, i am a linux noob. | 03:36 |
| bruce_ | but that program doesnt detect my monitor correctly | 03:36 |
| uberspaced | friedtofu thanks for clearing that one up. it was rather odd that the commands I was telling him weren't producing anything. | 03:36 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Is that a command or something? | 03:36 |
| bruce_ | ahh :( | 03:36 |
| bruce_ | so am i :) | 03:37 |
| neo_ | bruce_, you could try manually copying the x.org files | 03:37 |
| bruce_ | from where? | 03:37 |
| sergio_ | mattgyver83: muchas gracias!!!! | 03:37 |
| hipitihop | I have a an old (nvidia legacy 64mb) machine which I just upgraded to 8.04 After the upgrade the resolution was fine, however when I tried to turn on the nvidia legacy driver and restarted it failed and went into low graphics mode. Can someone please help me to revert | 03:37 |
| mattgyver83 | sergio_, si! | 03:37 |
| bazhang | TooFly: sudo apt-get update (after closing synaptic and add/remove) then sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:37 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, is it a USB wireless one?? | 03:37 |
| neo_ | bruce_, after you install the latest nvidia new drivers go to the nvidia x server settings | 03:37 |
| cached | how do i keep a user from accessing anything but his home directory? | 03:38 |
| PovAddict | according to... lots of documentation... I should be able to pass tasks="kubuntu-desktop, standard" as a boot parameter to make it install KDE instead of GNOME | 03:38 |
| neo_ | i am using an nVIDIA 5900XT on dual screens. | 03:38 |
| bruce_ | is that in the xorg.conf file? | 03:38 |
| kontrol | arvind_khadri: no, is not usb.. is integrated | 03:38 |
| TeMagic | nobody knows? ok, well, if I reinstall ubuntu from ISO-dvd, will I still have access to Windows Vista from the boot menu? | 03:38 |
| PovAddict | but I tried it, and it didn't work (I ended up with GNOME) | 03:38 |
| PovAddict | this is the DVD btw | 03:38 |
| SeaPhor | kontrol, arvind_khadri if you have any questions on that page you can join me at #SeaPhor | 03:38 |
| neo_ | if i can get 2 screens working with an average GPU you should get 1 screen working on the awesome 8 series nvidia card | 03:38 |
| bruce_ | ok nm, yes the monitor is not detect correctly in there | 03:38 |
| arvind_khadri | kontrol, ok | 03:39 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaPhor, thanks :) | 03:39 |
| bruce_ | hehe, it wasn't that expensive :) | 03:39 |
| bruce_ | like 200 bucks, most expensive part in my system | 03:39 |
| neo_ | bruce_, how many screens you trying to get working? | 03:39 |
| bruce_ | just 1 lol | 03:39 |
| bruce_ | im | 03:39 |
| friedtofu | TeMagic: you should have access to windows vista - if its removed you can manually edit the grub menu to show up... - if you dont kno what i'm tlaking about, just back up the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and restore it afterwards | 03:39 |
| bruce_ | not trying anything complicated | 03:39 |
| TooFly | bazhang: '[Waiting for headers][Waiting for headers] 99%' after sudo apt-get update | 03:39 |
| bazhang | !enter | bruce_ | 03:39 |
| ubottu | bruce_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:39 |
| bazhang | toofly be patient | 03:39 |
| TeMagic | friedtofu: ok, thanks | 03:39 |
| friedtofu | TeMagic: the ubuntu autogenerator for Grub should detect vista | 03:40 |
| neo_ | bruce_, go to hardware drivers and see iof your acelerated drivers are working | 03:40 |
| TooFly | bazhang: Ok. just to make sure.. this is to fix my web-page problem? | 03:40 |
| TeMagic | so I gues I'll have to reinstall ubuntu then... | 03:40 |
| bazhang | toofly it will be but be patient | 03:40 |
| TeMagic | crap... | 03:40 |
| bruce_ | btw, how do i send you a personal message so i dont spam this | 03:40 |
| PovAddict | according to... lots of documentation... I should be able to pass tasks="kubuntu-desktop, standard" as a boot parameter to make it install KDE instead of GNOME; but I tried it, and it didn't work, I ended up with GNOME (I'm using the DVD btw) | 03:40 |
| TeMagic | going to download a few hundred mb's:) | 03:40 |
| friedtofu | haha | 03:40 |
| bruce_ | yes, the hardware drivers are working | 03:41 |
| jappdev | bruce_: /msg <nick> | 03:41 |
| TooFly | what irc client are you guys using in ubuntu? | 03:41 |
| bazhang | bruce_: best to ask someone first though | 03:41 |
| pygmymath | TooFly: pidgin | 03:41 |
| TooFly | Oh, thanks | 03:41 |
| Y-Town | TooFly: Konversation | 03:41 |
| bazhang | xchat TooFly seems popular there are others as well | 03:41 |
| taidaishar | why is that my terminal keeps saying couldn't find package * | 03:41 |
| neo_ | bruce,_ i sent you a pm | 03:41 |
| sandwich1988 | TooFly: XChat | 03:41 |
| friedtofu | xchat - >.> feels more like mirc | 03:41 |
| tubatedd | hey | 03:41 |
| bruenig | xchat is bloat | 03:41 |
| PovAddict | maybe it only works with the text-based installer? | 03:42 |
| friedtofu | i'd use irssi if i ever get around to learning it | 03:42 |
| nickellery | XChat is my favourite... just converted from Pidgin | 03:42 |
| tubatedd | i have now checked forums. no answer to my problem. | 03:42 |
| bruenig | TooFly: irssi | 03:42 |
| bazhang | PovAddict: you need to install kubuntu-desktop | 03:42 |
| Y-Town | TooFly: I guess you got some choices :o) | 03:42 |
| bruenig | learning it? it works like any other irc client, I mean stuff doesn't change much client to client | 03:42 |
| friedtofu | bruenig: for irssi do you know how to accept dcc chats? | 03:42 |
| neo_ | how do i pm?? | 03:42 |
| ferfactor | hi i have a heavy problem i'm using ubuntu 7.10 an my problem is http://pastebin.com/m713d0106 it's in spanish | 03:42 |
| friedtofu | thats probably the only thing i'm missing | 03:42 |
| tubatedd | THe problem is that it seems like ubuntu have not detected my intel G35 graphics card. How can i make it detect it? | 03:42 |
| nickellery | neo_: /msg <nickname> | 03:42 |
| bazhang | register neo_ | 03:42 |
| PovAddict | bazhang: I know, but I want the installer NOT to install gnome in the first place | 03:42 |
| TeMagic | well, I'll try asking my original question again, seing a few people have entered the room... Does anybody know how to increase the size of "/boot" as I do not have enough free space on "/boot" to upgrade ubuntu to version 8.04?? | 03:43 |
| PovAddict | you're suggesting I install kubuntu-desktop once I'm done installing the whole hing | 03:43 |
| bazhang | PovAddict: then get the kubuntu iso | 03:43 |
| friedtofu | whoa.. really? lol... i thought boot only needed like 32 megabytes | 03:43 |
| bruenig | friedtofu: /dcc chat nick | 03:43 |
| tubatedd | Should i Reinstall ubuntu to make it detect my graphics card? | 03:43 |
| neo_ | register | 03:43 |
| bazhang | tubatedd: likely not necessary | 03:43 |
| friedtofu | bruenig: hm. k i'll try to learn to use it... >.> | 03:43 |
| neo_ | bruce_, go to envy | 03:43 |
| PovAddict | help on boot screen says tasks="kde-desktop, standard" should work... which is WRONG, since ubuntu's name for that task is kubuntu-desktop | 03:44 |
| oc180z | damn | 03:44 |
| bruenig | friedtofu: you can always just do /help whatever | 03:44 |
| bazhang | !register | neo_ | 03:44 |
| ubottu | neo_: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. | 03:44 |
| friedtofu | yeah. i suppose | 03:44 |
| jappdev | PovAddict: download a kubuntu cd | 03:44 |
| oc180z | baklava-: thank you but is the IBOOK G4 800MHZ A POWER PC ? OR | 03:44 |
| PovAddict | so yeah, documentation is wrong but nobody cares, and I should just go get kubuntu iso | 03:44 |
| pygmymath | TooFly: Xchat is good too | 03:44 |
| tubatedd | bazhang: is there a tool i can use to make it detect my graphics card and use it ? | 03:44 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: irssi is grea | 03:44 |
| neo_ | bruce you here?? | 03:44 |
| bruce_ | yah | 03:44 |
| bruce_ | are you not getting my messages | 03:44 |
| neo_ | bruce are you on envy? | 03:44 |
| friedtofu | pygmymath: got any good skins for irssi? :) | 03:44 |
| bazhang | PovAddict: docs are not always up to date-->we are volunteers remember | 03:44 |
| bruce_ | wait is envy a chat program lol | 03:45 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: didnt know there were any :P | 03:45 |
| friedtofu | haha | 03:45 |
| tubatedd | I have a Intel G35 chipset by the way. | 03:45 |
| PovAddict | bazhang: well, trying to figure out what the right way is | 03:45 |
| pygmymath | neo_: thought envy was nvidia stuff | 03:45 |
| lewench | Whats the command to pull up a window as root? It had to do something with nautilist but I forgot the command. | 03:45 |
| bruce_ | i thought it was for configuring graphics drivers | 03:45 |
| friedtofu | they're all color based though | 03:45 |
| neo_ | go to synaptic under administration | 03:45 |
| joe_electrician | anyone else have problems running another other firefox downloads other than the one shipped with ubuntu hardy heron? | 03:45 |
| PovAddict | I tracked it down to kubuntu-desktop being the task name, but that one didnt work either | 03:45 |
| TeMagic | allright. good night folks. gonna start a download now and go to sleep. c'ya:) | 03:45 |
| bazhang | PovAddict: you want kde? the easy way is to get kubuntu iso | 03:45 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: ncurses apps for the win | 03:45 |
| Y-Town | PovAddict: You dont like gnome? | 03:45 |
| mkquist | lewench: gksudo nautilus should work | 03:46 |
| friedtofu | pygmymath: haha. yeah... ncmpd, irssi, htop | 03:46 |
| arvind_khadri | joe_electrician, pretty confusing | 03:46 |
| neo_ | bruce_, install envy-gtk | 03:46 |
| PovAddict | and in fact, after four failed tries, I somehow managed to screw up my grub, and now I cant boot Windows either - but I guess that will be fixed by just installing ubuntu again and letting the installation run to completion | 03:46 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: finch ;) pidgin in ncurses | 03:46 |
| bazhang | joe_electrician: you want ff2? | 03:46 |
| mattgyver83 | It saddens me that there is a windows channel... | 03:46 |
| Master_Z | woot I got beryl/compiz working perfect on this laptop :) | 03:46 |
| JewStyleKungFu | I've never used ubuntu and I'm having some trouble connecting to a wireless network with hardy heron | 03:46 |
| lewench | mkquist, thanks a bunch worked perfect. | 03:46 |
| friedtofu | pygmymath: is that really viable? i never tried it... haha | 03:46 |
| pygmymath | mattgyver83: its useless | 03:46 |
| arvind_khadri | PovAddict, no need to re-install to get grub back | 03:46 |
| neo_ | bruce? | 03:46 |
| joe_electrician | arvind_khadri, e.g., any firefox package I download say from mozilla, will load but wont connect.. the ff that came with ubuntu runs and connects fine | 03:46 |
| pen | do anyone use swiftweasel? | 03:46 |
| PovAddict | it gives "error 15" on boot | 03:46 |
| bruce_ | neo are you not getting my messages? | 03:46 |
| pen | is it good? | 03:47 |
| bazhang | !grub | PovAddict please read this | 03:47 |
| ubottu | PovAddict please read this: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 03:47 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: its bloomin great, alt + numbers to switch between windows. prett much as good as pidgin | 03:47 |
| bruce_ | i don't understand this | 03:47 |
| friedtofu | pygmymath: haha. dang. i just saw a clone of my buddy list in terminal | 03:47 |
| neo_ | bruce_, go to synaptic package manager | 03:47 |
| JewStyleKungFu | it's giving me the option to connect to a wireless network, so I'm assuming the drivers are straight | 03:47 |
| bazhang | bruce_: neo_ open a channel #neo_ and chat there | 03:47 |
| PovAddict | bazhang: opposite, lost (working) grub after installing ubuntu | 03:47 |
| JewStyleKungFu | but the wireless manager doesn't seem very intuitive | 03:47 |
| joe_electrician | bazhang, doesn't matter what version.. i tried both beta and stable and neither will connect | 03:47 |
| Master_Z | question, I'm tryin to get my wireless to work, and I have the folder containing drivers. How do I do this? | 03:47 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: finch irssi and mocp live on my pc in case of x death :P | 03:47 |
| friedtofu | pygmymath: hey. is there any special meaning to the things in front of their names though? like a(accent)box box | 03:47 |
| bazhang | joe_electrician: that sounds like a network issue not ff then | 03:48 |
| smmagic | can someone tell me the equivalent of ipconfig in ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, do you know if i should be able to see the fiels that are allready copied? | 03:48 |
| pygmymath | friedtofu: think its busy/available/away | 03:48 |
| friedtofu | pygmymath: yeah. links is here incase i need the internet | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, or is it makign a archive? | 03:48 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: is the process completed? | 03:48 |
| Dante124 | I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and now want to update my vbox. From the download site it gives me the choice Ubuntu 8.04 AMD and Ubuntu 8.04 x86. This is an amd sempron 3400+ cpu but the ubuntu I have installed is the regular intel version not the 64 bit. Which do I download? (What confuses me is that prior to 8.04 there is an Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 version) | 03:48 |
| joe_electrician | if anyone else could verify this on their machines by trying to replicate it.. I know its not a network issue | 03:48 |
| friedtofu | and i dont have x running | 03:48 |
| neo_ | bruce_, join channel #neo | 03:48 |
| smmagic | can someone tell me the equivalent of ipconfig in ubuntu? | 03:48 |

| Master_Z | can someone help me | 03:49 |
| mkquist | smmagic: ifconfig | 03:49 |
| ferfactor | someone can help me please??? | 03:49 |
| PovAddict | pygmymath: links2 even supports Javascript... | 03:49 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, because i cant find anything on the source dir | 03:49 |
| kontrol | SeaPhor | 03:49 |
| bazhang | !helpme | 03:49 |
| ubottu | Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 03:49 |
| PovAddict | or is that elinks... | 03:49 |
| smmagic | ah, thanks | 03:49 |
| Master_Z | how would I go about installing wireless drivers if I have the folder with the drivers? | 03:49 |
| xim | i set up samba and when i try to connect from windows it asks me for a username and password, and i tried my system login and it didnt work, what does it want? | 03:49 |
| Dante124 | I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and now want to update my vbox. From the download site it gives me the choice Ubuntu 8.04 AMD and Ubuntu 8.04 x86.

| Ward1983 | bazhang, IN the source dir i mean | 03:49 |
| SeaPhor | kontrol, yes? | 03:49 |
| pygmymath | PovAddict: i need o get that and try it heh... images though :P i can't see facebook & flash working in it | 03:49 |
| taidaishar | why would ubuntu internet not work even when directly connected to a modem? | 03:49 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: not sure there-->could you clarify? | 03:49 |
| JewStyleKungFu | is there a shortcut to bring up a console? | 03:49 |
| arvind_k | joe_electrician, you mean the plugins and stuff?? | 03:49 |
| PovAddict | pygmymath: yah no ascii-art conversion lol | 03:49 |
| warriorforgod | Dante124: If you don't have a 64 bit install download the x86 version. | 03:49 |
| pygmymath | PovAddict: Thats a patch someone needs to write | 03:50 |
| kontrol | SeaPhor: no! i don't what happens | 03:50 |
| PovAddict | pygmymath: although if you can get a color framebuffer on the console, you WILL get images | 03:50 |
| Scunizi | anyone use "xsetwacom set pad Button1 :core key ?" to set their buttons on the pad of a wacom (graphire 4)? | 03:50 |

| arvind_k | kontrol, ?? | 03:50 |
| kontrol | SeaPhor: i can't sww wlan when i do ifconfig | 03:50 |
| JewStyleKungFu | oh...I'm a slut for hotkeys, myself | 03:50 |
| pygmymath | PovAddict: heh nice... i'd experiment more but this pc is all about the gnome... (modernity, yay!) | 03:50 |
| kontrol | arvind_k: nothing, i don't know what happens! | 03:50 |

| Ward1983 | bazhang, i cannot be more clear then that | 03:51 |
| DFM | Can anyone tell me if IPv6 is still a problem in 8.04? | 03:51 |

| jackfruit | uhm guys , i changed the host name and now sudo is borked, any suggestion ? it's a remote box :/ | 03:52 |
| ravi | friedtofu: that's my fstab | 03:52 |
| joe_electrician | arvind_k, no.. basically trying to just 'run' firefox after I download it from the mozilla site. Unpack the archive and terminal over and running ./firefox. It loads but wont connect. yet the ubuntu firefox does fine. This was never an issue on until I did a upgrade ( fresh upgrade btw) | 03:52 |
| roxahris_ | hey | 03:52 |
| PovAddict | so is the 'tasks' boot parameter really broken? or only working on text-mode install? or nobody ever tried it? | 03:52 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, no it is running, and it is sending, and my new comp is receiving, but i dont see any files | 03:52 |
| ravi | friedtofu: cannot mount or something | 03:52 |
| roxahris_ | I just installed KDE4 | 03:52 |
| pygmymath | Does anyone else here just get lost in playing with the water effects on initiate mode? | 03:52 |
| * Ward1983 begs god to clarify further | 03:52 | |
| gleyve | should I worry about virus when using ubuntu? what do you advice? | 03:52 |
| friedtofu | ravi: blah - sorry >.> cant help | 03:52 |
| roxahris_ | Can I switch back to GNOME if I set KDE4 as default? | 03:52 |
| bazhang | gleyve: nay | 03:52 |
| PovAddict | gleyve: nobody bothers making Linux viruses | 03:52 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: no and ther's clam and clamgtk | 03:52 |
| JewStyleKungFu | ok, where's my device manager now | 03:52 |
| pygmymath | roxahris_: yes | 03:52 |
| bazhang | roxahris_: sure | 03:52 |
| Y-Town | roxahris_: yes | 03:53 |
| PovAddict | gleyve: you should still avoid opening strange attachments etc | 03:53 |
| roxahris_ | Can you tell me in advance? | 03:53 |
| arvind_k | joe_electrician, so are you sure the the one you compiled got instaleed | 03:53 |
| mevsthevoices | No device manager | 03:53 |
| ferland | Hi, when I insert a DVD to copy in k9copy, the program doesn't load the disc... why? | 03:53 |
| uxe1 | Hello, is any one else having problems with the repos? | 03:53 |
| ravi | hey, anyone else have experience with mounting problems on an M1330? | 03:53 |
| Takalius | Yuji1 what OS and if Linux, what distro? | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | gleyve: you don't need to worry about virues at the moment for Ubuntu. since of the way you aren't admin for everything. and no one bothers to make for Linux | 03:53 |
| gleyve | I see...but I've seen some anti-virus for linux... | 03:53 |
| JewStyleKungFu | is there any way to look at the installed hardware devices on my machine? | 03:53 |
| Bodsda | uxe1: there still getting hammered from the hardy release | 03:53 |
| joe_electrician | arvind_k, no no you don't have to compile the firefox.. just downloading it the already compiled binary | 03:53 |
| ravi | mounting problems specific to CD/DVD | 03:53 |
| bazhang | gleyve: they need to find a new market ;] | 03:53 |
| PovAddict | gleyve: installing a virus scanner would help anyway; so that you avoid forwarding virus to your windows-using friends | 03:53 |
| mevsthevoices | JewStyle: sure you can | 03:53 |
| gleyve | ok people :) | 03:53 |
| kontrol | arvind_k: done.. its the same | 03:53 |
| Master_Z | can someone help me? | 03:53 |
| gleyve | thanks | 03:54 |
| PovAddict | that's the only use actually :P | 03:54 |
| Fa | Minisys-Linux Muppy 008.3 | 03:54 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: don't install any strange package | 03:54 |
| mevsthevoices | jewstyle: You use a combination of commands and mount points though | 03:54 |
| jackfruit | hehehe | 03:54 |
| Ward1983 | JewStyleKungFu, lspci and lsusb for example | 03:54 |
| uxe1 | thanx bodsa, i was trying to add vlc , and adept kept crashing | 03:54 |
| Master_Z | I want to install my wireless drivers, and I need a step by step plz | 03:54 |
| arvind_k | joe_electrician, ok well why do you want it??why not stick with the normal one | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | glevye: Windows is such a huge market, and a great market to target since the way Windows does default security, and how most users are ignorant at securing there computers. that there is hardly any reason to target other OS's such as Linux distros and Mac OS X | 03:54 |
| gleyve | jackfruit: what do you mean strange? | 03:54 |
| ravi | um.. gonna say this again. CD/DVD mounting issues on an m1330 laptop | 03:54 |
| bazhang | Master_Z: what wireless | 03:54 |
| ravi | any help? | 03:54 |
| Y-Town | PovAddict: why? just put them on linux ;O/ | 03:54 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: things that aren't in the repos or you don't know the source is safe | 03:54 |
| JewStyleKungFu | so I guess they've taken away any convenient gui for browsing devices | 03:54 |
| arvind_k | kontrol, no idea | 03:54 |
| PovAddict | ok time to attempt fixing grub | 03:54 |
| Master_Z | bazhang: realtek 8185L. I have the tar.gz containing the linux drivers I think | 03:54 |
| Dante124 | warriorforgod thanks....will do | 03:54 |
| uxe1 | ravi whats the issue? | 03:55 |
| mevsthevoices | Jew: Once you get a handle on it its far more convenient to use | 03:55 |
| gleyve | jackfruit: ok man..I got it | 03:55 |
| roxahris_ | Okay, sed KDE4 as default in package manager... | 03:55 |
| msingh | when you install a doc package.. where does it go? how come it's so hard to find the docs? | 03:55 |
| ferland | ravi: how can I fix this DVD/CD specific problem? | 03:55 |
| PovAddict | grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 | 03:55 |
| PovAddict | Error 15: File not found | 03:55 |
| kontrol | arvind_k: i'm going to try with a diferent driver to see what happens.. thanks for your help!! =) | 03:55 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: say like getdeb.net, that's pretty ok ;) | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | msingh: in the terminal man program name | 03:55 |
| arvind_k | kontrol, welcome | 03:55 |
| JewStyleKungFu | I guess it would be more convenient...I just tend to be whiny when things aren't easy | 03:55 |
| gleyve | :) | 03:55 |
| ravi | uxe1: initially at least, when I double click on my dvd drive on Computer, it just doesn't mount. | 03:55 |
| msingh | sebsebseb, it might not be a man page. it probably isnt. | 03:55 |
| Scunizi | if you use qmake.. make... make install.. and you want to uninstall later, would you find the install in synaptic? | 03:56 |
| ravi | uxe1: auto mount is basically broken | 03:56 |
| PovAddict | Scunizi: no | 03:56 |
| Y-Town | roxahris_: when your entering user name you will have the option to select the session type... bottom corner i belive | 03:56 |
| ravi | uxe1: it works only after persistence | 03:56 |
| PovAddict | Scunizi: if you install from source, the package manager has no idea you did | 03:56 |
| ravi | uxe: my fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/9664/ | 03:56 |
| mevsthevoices | jew: lol, yea, but, far better if you figure it out | 03:56 |
| Bodsda | Scunizi: no, u have compiled it yourself synaptic knows nothing of it afaik | 03:56 |
| Scunizi | PovAddict: is there a way to make a deb from the source? | 03:56 |
| Master_Z | bazhang: you there? | 03:56 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: if you're paranoid check things out every once in a while with netstat -ntl or namap to see any strange network thing running | 03:56 |
| Scunizi | PovAddict: then apt would track it wouldn't it? | 03:57 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: you want to add that to dpkg list? checkinstall should do that iirc | 03:57 |
| Scunizi | bazhang: thanks. | 03:57 |
| gleyve | jackfruit: ok guy..hey...o you know about java configuration at ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| Master_Z | bazhang: can you help me with my wireless? | 03:57 |
| joe_electrician | arvind_k, why do I want it? Technically speaking the USER AGENT string ubuntu sticks into the shipped ff is conflicts with my ISP email ajax.. essentially its the ISP's problem but I remedy it by using ff default USER AGENT string. retarded? slightly but this I like to use ajax and not some prehistoric looking web email and why after I d/l a fresh new ff and its whines about no network yet ubuntu ff does not.. even more retarded | 03:57 |
| PovAddict | after four failed attempts to make the Ubuntu installer do what I wanted, I ended up with a broken grub (gives error on boot, doesnt show OS list) | 03:57 |
| PovAddict | tried fixing it from livecd | 03:57 |
| PovAddict | grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 | 03:57 |
| PovAddict | Error 15: File not found | 03:57 |
| FloodBot1 | PovAddict: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:57 |
| ravi | hey another quick question about network manager. I'm not that used to it as I come from the days where we dealt more directly with if* commands. How do you manually command network manager from the command line? | 03:58 |
| jappdev | gleyve: what problem are you having with java? | 03:58 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: for developing, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk , for regular use, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 03:58 |
| arvind_k | joe_electrician, ask someone else no idea here :) | 03:58 |

| JewStyleKungFu | is there a guide somewhere to connecting to my wireless network? - even trying to manually tell ubuntu my SSID didn't help it connect, even though I have no encryption | 04:00 |
| Master_Z | but iwconfig doesnt show it | 04:00 |
| bazhang | Master_Z: you may repeat your question every few *minutes* and if someone knows they will help you-->best to give tons more info in your question though: I need help installing the 8185 drivers for a realtek card etc | 04:00 |
| bazhang | Scunizi: nice ;] | 04:00 |
| Master_Z | sigh. | 04:00 |
| jackfruit | gleyve: or check out galternative/galternatives ,whichever is the correct spelling | 04:00 |
| friedtofu | pen: the regular firefox should work for you pretty quickly - but if you still want swiftweasel then it depends on your arch | 04:00 |

| msingh | jackfruit, 'sudo bash' even | 04:08 |
| Bodsda | Mamangaa: plz disable your mp3 thing that tells us what your listening to | 04:08 |
| ravi | mevsthevoices: just do mount -a and retry inserting my dvd/cd? | 04:08 |

| pawan | how to install .run file | 04:10 |
| jackfruit | msingh: i changed the host name, and now it's borked | 04:10 |
| gravemind | umop: you can do it that way, or there's a place you can change it in System>Administration>Software Sources | 04:10 |
| bazhang | tuntun: best to ask in #hardware thanks | 04:10 |
| pawan | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html | 04:10 |
| ravi | mevsthevoices: Na or ya? | 04:10 |
| adrock358 | pawan. it's easy. google search the name of you video card. the nvidia website should show up. do some exploring, try to find information about DRIVERS. Locate the diver for your card in particular. then download and install it via the instructions on the website. Good luck. | 04:10 |
| mevsthevoices | Ravi: Nay | 04:10 |
| ravi | mevsthevoices: I don't think fstab is reloaded until mount -a | 04:10 |
| umop | hipitihop, gravemind thanks, will retry it now | 04:10 |
| adrock358 | bazhang. have you ever heard of the installer limiting the min.part size? | 04:10 |
| bazhang | adrock358: it tends to be conservative iirc | 04:11 |
| aum | does ubuntu have a feed similar to debian's 'sid' ('unstable')? | 04:11 |
| ravi | mevsthevoices: YAY, thanks - it worked. | 04:11 |
| hipitihop | I need to reconfigure my xorg.conf and automatically detect card and monitor, how can I do that ? | 04:11 |
| ravi | mevsthevoices: thanks for returning the favour :) | 04:11 |
| mevsthevoices | ravi: No problem | 04:11 |
| jackfruit | does anyone know how to specify the hostname for sudo ? | 04:11 |
| adrock358 | hmm. bazhang. thanks bro. i guess i'll use gparted like pvaddict suggested. thanks. | 04:11 |
| bazhang | !hostname | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 04:12 |
| Bodsda | hipitihop: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:12 |
| mevsthevoices | ravi: Thanks for the bash | 04:12 |

| CW2K | Hi @all. I just installed ubuntu 8 and find my way to the 'Orca screen magnifier' the problem is that it run horrible slow 1-3FPS - so it's no real fun to us it :(. Disabling 'bilinear Filtering' in advance options didn't brought a speed up. I've a Intel 2400MHz and are now back in windows. Here the magnify.exe works with let's say 50fps. Are there any other fullscreen screen magnifing apps for Linux or what can I do to make orca to run faster? | 04:30 |

| socomm | Question, what's best way to convert/burn dvd videos linux | 04:31 |
| _deselby | amirman ... yep ... currently this is 1280 x 768 | 04:31 |

| YaroMan86 | Hello, hello, anybody home? | 04:32 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: juice_: make sure you guys go in your menu to system>administration>software sources | 04:32 |
| jlc | belor2, run all that from the terminal prompt, right? | 04:32 |
| _deselby | amirman ... I prefer 1280 x 1024 for this is my lcd montiro native display | 04:32 |
| UberCanuck | socomm, too many ways to list - but do a search in synaptic | 04:32 |

| Scunizi | how do you get streamtuner to play? | 04:32 |
| juice_ | amirman84: and do what exactly? | 04:33 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: juice_: then click the checkboxes beside 3rd party software (should be 2 of them there) then on the next tab beside proposed and backports | 04:33 |
| david_-_- | is there a .deb for wine .61 ? | 04:33 |
| _deselby | amirman ... however ... I tried to check /etc/X11/xorg.conf -> it does not have any display subsectdion | 04:33 |
| dannyboy | anyone hav quake for linux? | 04:33 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: juice: then update the thing it asks you to update and they will probably install automatically from there | 04:33 |
| ferfactor | how i can convert a .ratdvd? | 04:33 |
| Scunizi | amirman84: do you really want proposed at this point.. isn't that somewhat suspect until things are actually released? | 04:33 |
| amirman84 | scunizi: proposed packages are pretty stable | 04:34 |
| socomm | Hmmm | 04:34 |
| UberCanuck | Scunizi, look in preferences, you have to set the output application of choice | 04:34 |
| belor2 | jlc: Yea and hopefully it works | 04:34 |
| amirman84 | scunizi: they may have a minor issue here and there but for the most part they're stable | 04:34 |
| _deselby | amirman .. what is this supposed to install ? | 04:35 |
| juice_ | amirman84: and now what? restricted manager or envy? | 04:35 |
| amirman84 | restricted manager | 04:35 |
| amirman84 | juice_: go to hardware drivers | 04:35 |
| socomm | I like k3b, but don't wanna install kde | 04:36 |
| Starnestommy | socomm: you don't need kde for k3b | 04:36 |
| amirman84 | juice_: i think its in the menu under administration | 04:36 |
| Starnestommy | it works fine in gnome | 04:36 |
| Y-Town | socomm: you dont have to | 04:36 |
| juice_ | yeah got it reboot time ty amirman84 | 04:36 |
| juice_ | brb | 04:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | socomm: you just have to install some kde libs.. k3b will run fine on gnome w/o installing the whole kde desktop | 04:36 |
| _deselby | amirman ... in restricted drivers set nvdia (I have nvidia) | 04:36 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: proprietary graphics drivers | 04:37 |
| socomm | but how about theme integration | 04:37 |
| socomm | won't it look out of place | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | socomm: now that i'm not sure of..... | 04:37 |
| Trizzle | is there a way to find out what version of ubuntu i am running? | 04:37 |
| socomm | only one way to find out i guess | 04:37 |
| amirman84 | juice_: i hope it works well for you, it worked perfectly for me, if it doesnt, it probably has to do with the xorg.conf file | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Trizzle: in a terminal, "lsb_release -a" no quotes | 04:37 |
| UberCanuck | socomm, trust the dependencies of apt-get, just do a `sudo apt-get install k3b`, it will get the libraries you need | 04:37 |
| L3D | stupid firefox three messed up all my addons wont work now | 04:37 |
| UberCanuck | socomm, it won't look native gnome, correct | 04:37 |
| _deselby | amirman ... I did set that up earlier -> nvidia ... but that had highes resolution 800x600 | 04:38 |
| Gun_Smoke | I should be able to transfer files faster than 1M/sec over ssh? | 04:38 |
| Trizzle | okay....apparently i have gutsy | 04:38 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: is it enabled and with a checkmark beside it in hardware drivers? | 04:38 |
| Trizzle | thanks indy | 04:38 |
| jlc | belor2, ty, will give it a try. | 04:38 |
| Starnestommy | Gun_Smoke: it would be faster or at about the same speed | 04:38 |

| maunykah | greetings everyone! I'm having a problem with the apt database once again: the apt database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. When I run apt-get update, I get this following message: E: Malformed line 42 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) | 04:38 |
| Scunizi | UberCanuck: ok.. been there. tried changing to rhythmbox but nothing but what looks like rhyth. opening then immediatly closing. | 04:38 |
| jlc | belor2, I hope it works because I really like this 64 bit version of ubuntu. | 04:38 |
| UberCanuck | Scunizi, did you pass it the variable as well? | 04:39 |
| DJ_Cranky | hello | 04:39 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: then i'm sure it has to do with your xorg.conf file, sometimes the driver is working right but it's not sending the right info to your screen, all that stuff is in that file, i'm not very secure in telling you what to do in there but maybe if you looked in there something will click, you may just have to manually add your screen resolution in a line. open it in a text editor | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | UberCanuck: I left the same variable that was there. not sure about variables.. so I didn't mess with what existed. | 04:39 |
| UberCanuck | Scunizi, or overwrite it | 04:39 |
| maunykah | I was trying to follow that how-to guide on enabling the restricted directory(?) because I thought I had installed it correctly but I couldn't get dvd playback and so I went into adept and went into manage depositories and just enabled the restricted updates and now I have that error message. How can I fix it? | 04:40 |

| amirman84 | maunykah, a similar thing happened to me the other day and it kept showing an error and wouldn't let me into synaptic, in my case it was a medibuntu repo, what i did was go to their website and just added the repository again, the right way | 04:42 |

| maunykah | how do I do that? | 04:42 |
| Ek0nomik | UbuntuCanuck: I have the output. | 04:42 |
| maunykah | should I google medibuntu? | 04:42 |
| _deselby | so how can I get those higher resolutions available for screen resolution tool | 04:42 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: i went through the same exact thing | 04:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | _deselby: i would fix that, that res. sucks. | 04:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | maunykah, what's the error? | 04:43 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: does it give you wobbly windows? the effect? | 04:43 |
| _deselby | Indy .. heh .. this somewhat sucks | 04:43 |
| DJ_Cranky | does anyone have an idea why my windows always open under the panels | 04:43 |

| jlc | Is there anybody who can talk to me about WINE? With Wine, can I run most windows software? | 04:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | DJ_Cranky, as i just said, hold alt, click and drag the window away | 04:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | maunykah: medibuntu is great, what is your issue? | 04:43 |

| Starnestommy | drezard: what kind of wine things? | 04:44 |
| DJ_Cranky | Daisuke_Laptop thanks, that works. any reason it might be doing this? | 04:44 |
| _deselby | amirman .. are they somewhere else in hardy ? | 04:44 |
| juice_ | amirman84: now i have max resolution of 640x480??? | 04:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | _deselby: what video device? | 04:44 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | DJ_Cranky, with compiz, it happens sometimes, especially with wobbly windows. another option is if your top bar is set to auto-hide, it won't stop windows from opening up there | 04:44 |
| Ek0nomik | UberCanuck: I have the output if you have a chance to take a look at it. | 04:45 |

| Starnestommy | jlc: no, join the IRC channel #winehq | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | jlc, type /join #winehq | 04:45 |
| amirman84 | _deselby: where i got help with that was in #compiz, they know all that stuff like the back of their hand there, or you could look up xorg.conf settings in google, or you could open the file via sudo and see if you can fix it yourself, some of the lines in there are pretty self explanatory, but i'm no good with that stuff | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | that will get you to the wine help channel :) | 04:45 |
| juice_ | it supposed to "just work" my arse | 04:45 |
| jlc | starnestommy,, ty. | 04:45 |
| DJ_Cranky | Daisuke_Laptop hmmm. ill disable compiz stuff for now and enable em one by one, see which one is causing the issue? | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | DJ_Cranky, if you have wobbly windows enabled, that's what's doing it | 04:45 |
| The_Bridge | anyone know why if i tried to access the root by typing "sudo su" it kept exitting? | 04:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | juice_: just works is a figment of some idiots imagination. | 04:45 |
| drezard | can anyone help me with Ati issues? | 04:45 |

| Scunizi | Daisuke_Ido: THANKS! Audacious worked.. I've got sound again! | 04:46 |
| amirman84 | juice_: it has to do with the xorg.conf file, your driver is working but that file is sending the wrong info to your screen: when i had that problem some guys in #compiz helped me out a whole lot | 04:46 |

| Trizzle | What is the easiest way to update to the latest version of ubuntu? | 04:50 |
| mevsthevoices | Does anyone know of any major problems with video on kernel 2.6.18? | 04:50 |
| Trizzle | lsb_release -a | 04:50 |
| Cpudan80 | localgod12: You cant log into it from a windows machine? | 04:50 |
| amirman84 | maunykah, i was just saying that whatever you installed that broke it, you should remove and install it with a different method | 04:51 |
| Trizzle | oops, sorry | 04:51 |
| chuy_max | hi, how can I scan ports in a remote PC? (I don't want to do anything bad, remote pc services are not working but pinging works) | 04:51 |
| maunykah | ahh ok | 04:51 |
| Cpudan80 | localgod12: If that's the case ---> ##windows | 04:51 |
| Gun_Smoke | cellofellow: Thanks. And that would/should return host names? Or how about I know the host name? | 04:51 |
| cellofellow | Trixsey: easiest is to install clean from the CD. | 04:51 |
| The_Bridge | doh this dns problem's killing me | 04:51 |
| CW2K | ... Disabling 'bilinear Filtering' in orca's advance options didn't brought a speed up. I've a Intel 2400MHz with a matrox G400 Back to Windows magnify.exe works with let's say 50fps. Are there any other fullscreen screen magnifing apps for Linux or what can I do to make orca to run faster? | 04:51 |
| mevsthevoices | Does anyone know of any major problems with video on kernel 2.6.18? | 04:51 |
| carlos | ?? | 04:51 |
| localgod12 | cpudan80: ?? | 04:51 |
| Athleone | hi | 04:51 |
| UberCanuck | Ek0nomik, not sure whats what - sata should be fine, but that smbus wasn't detected correctly | 04:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Trizzle: what ar you trying to figure out about your distro?: | 04:51 |
| amirman84 | maunykah, medibuntu is just a repo for restricted codecs and stuff, it wouldn't fix your problem, but it will let you play DVDs :) | 04:51 |
| cellofellow | Gun_Smoke: you can try "host ipaddress". If you don't have DNS set up it might not help anything, though. | 04:51 |
| Ek0nomik | I don't even know what smbus is. :/ | 04:51 |
| Trizzle | Indy: I'm trying to get it to the latest version | 04:51 |
| Athleone | I always wanted to do Linux, but I never did. So I was thinking about it, and found this channel, so here I am, I guess.. | 04:52 |
| Cpudan80 | localgod12: You said you can see an SMB share in ubuntu - but can't log into it from a windows box... if that is the case, ##windows is where you should go for help | 04:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Trizzle: well, what version does lsb_releas -a show you have? | 04:52 |
| Gun_Smoke | humm.... I need to get on a different network to play. | 04:52 |
| amirman84 | hi athleone | 04:52 |
| TeslaTony | I have a very large tgz file, and I want to extract a series of files from it without extracting the entire archive. How can I do that? | 04:52 |
| Cpudan80 | localgod12: If you cant log into it from Ubuntu, then we are here to help :-) | 04:52 |
| carlos | download it and install it ubuntu rocks | 04:52 |
| Ek0nomik | how do you know it wasn't detected properly? | 04:52 |
| Athleone | so uh how should I start? | 04:52 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | codo, i'm not seeing it blacklisted by default... retricted modules, perhaps | 04:52 |
| Trizzle | Good question, my computer is locked up and the only thing I can do is type in this window | 04:52 |
| Trizzle | so, i don't know | 04:52 |
| maunykah | I don't think I even installed anything really. I went into "Manage depositories" and from there selected "restricted" and unsupported and recommended updates. Closed everything and when I tried to get back in, I received that error | 04:52 |
| Trizzle | gonna restart and try to find out | 04:52 |
| UberCanuck | Ek0nomik, fedora worked? could be kernel options - you can always recompile a kernel - kernel-package is your friend | 04:52 |
| The_Bridge | is there any indonesia based ubuntu forum such as this? | 04:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok | 04:52 |
| Athleone | All I have is this little cygwin. | 04:53 |
| The_Bridge | i mean a regional one | 04:53 |
| Ek0nomik | Uber: Fedora didn't exactly work... | 04:53 |
| astro76 | !id | The_Bridge | 04:53 |
| ubottu | The_Bridge: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 04:53 |
| UberCanuck | Ek0nomik, a guess "Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0177" | 04:53 |
| localgod12 | i dont think i communicated the problem: I can see it from winders, it asks me for login information for the smb share i give it the user account but thats not what it wants | 04:53 |
| Ek0nomik | I was unable to partition it. | 04:53 |
| Athleone | although it really isnt linux... | 04:53 |
| maunykah | I just wish I could undo whatever it is I did | 04:53 |
| Ek0nomik | I could just "see" it. | 04:53 |
| Athleone | I have a small understanding of Unix and some of its commands. | 04:53 |
| amirman84 | athleone: if you like learning about computer stuff, and you want an OS that you can configure to your needs linux is the way to go, but keep in mind everything always doesnt go as planned and you have to approach sometimes distressing stuff as a learning experience, when you fix something crazy for the first time you'll have learned a lot and you'll feel like the man... or woman | 04:53 |
| Athleone | I was just wondering, before I start installing Linux, what tips can anyone give me? | 04:53 |
| Athleone | oh.... | 04:54 |
| carlos | what computer do you have Athleone | 04:54 |
| carlos | like is it a desktop | 04:54 |
| Athleone | Pentium... | 04:54 |
| Athleone | Sorry if I sound n00bish at times... Im only 12... | 04:54 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Athleone, be willing to learn, have an open mind, and don't give up as soon as something goes wrong. | 04:54 |
| Athleone | yeah, I have linux on my DS and DSL.. | 04:54 |
| amirman84 | athleone: i was a 100% noob just a few days ago, but i'm learning a lot | 04:54 |
| Athleone | lol | 04:55 |
| localgod12 | athleone: and you understand unix commands? | 04:55 |
| Athleone | yes. | 04:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | those, i think, are the three biggest things to remember :) | 04:55 |
| Athleone | i rtfmed. | 04:55 |
| localgod12 | you rock | 04:55 |
| det | Is there any way to not make 8.04 not stop sound when I switch VTs ? | 04:55 |
| Ek0nomik | UberCanuck: Is there any explanation as to why Ubuntu, Fedora, and others used to work some versions ago. | 04:55 |
| codo | Daisuke_Laptop: could it be linux-ubuntu-modules? | 04:55 |
| Ek0nomik | and now suddenly the support is lost? | 04:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Athleone, and don't worry, we won't tell you to rtfm :) | 04:55 |
| Athleone | :P | 04:55 |
| amirman84 | athleone: i think the way to go, if you're running windows is to download the latest ubuntu ISO and use the program Wubi thats on there, it's for windows | 04:55 |
| amenado | Athleone-> you can read some linux tutorials at freeelectrons.com | 04:55 |
| Athleone | alright. | 04:55 |
| Athleone | so I should partition my hard drive? | 04:55 |
| Y-Town | Athleone: go to ubuntu.com and download ubuntu. Burn it to a cd and try it. You can try it live running from the cd without changing anything on your system :o) | 04:55 |
| amirman84 | athleone: it lets you install ubuntu in a virtual file system on your windows drive | 04:55 |
| localgod12 | athleone: you rock | 04:55 |
| Athleone | oh. | 04:56 |
| Athleone | thanks localgod | 04:56 |
| carlos | so does any1 know how I can fix my problem with my tx2000z??? when I close my screen (laptop) I cant get it to turn on again my monitor | 04:56 |
| r00tintheb0x | ah the dreaded blank LCD on lid open. | 04:56 |
| * r00tintheb0x shakes head. | 04:56 | |
| === almighty is now known as goscrewmyself | ||
| pygmymath | Athleone: You == Awesome. | 04:56 |
| amirman84 | athleone: don't partition your drive just yet | 04:56 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | codo, that package does have the firmware | 04:56 |
| Athleone | well, I want to use Linux because mainly its opensource and perl and PHP and Python and the cool Stuff run on it, so I want to learn about Linux, not just install it and use it, but have a feel for the entire OS... | 04:56 |
| maunykah | so is there anyway I can possibly get everything back to normal? | 04:56 |
| UberCanuck | Ek0nomik, its not uncommon that some things work on 1 distro but not another, very frustrating - if technical, then compile a specifiic kernel for your machine. not usual to loose configuration though | 04:57 |
| amirman84 | athleone: wubi lets you install ubuntu without partitioning your drive or anything, it is just like a regular installation except you can't hibernate | 04:57 |
| Athleone | So, in your opinion, what is the best flavor of Linux? | 04:57 |
| Athleone | oops, stupid question,.... | 04:57 |
| carlos | r00tintheb0x: do you know how to fix | 04:57 |
| Athleone | forgot what channel Im in. | 04:57 |
| amirman84 | athleone: and it's like a microsecond slower accessing files | 04:57 |
| The_Bridge | doh,is there anyone from indonesia in here? | 04:57 |
| pygmymath | heh | 04:57 |
| Ashfire908 | I'm compiling a program and it uses jam instead of make, and i installed the jam package but it still says i need to install make. does anyone know of packaged needed for jam? | 04:57 |
| UberCanuck | Athleone, ask more specific - which flavour for what you want? enterprise desktop within a hetrogenious environ? | 04:57 |
| Athleone | hmmm.... airman, so that means I can install it and it will take over Windoze? | 04:57 |
| Ek0nomik | Uber: Wouldn't that require there to be a distro already installed on it? | 04:58 |
| Athleone | I think Im going for the KDE type. | 04:58 |
| Ek0nomik | to recompile a kernel? | 04:58 |
| The_Bridge | i'm having a problem with a dsl provider | 04:58 |
| amirman84 | athleone: i use ubuntu but i don't necessarily think it's the best, linux mint is good too, but it's based on ubuntu :) | 04:58 |
| localgod12 | Athleone: www.distrowatch.com | 04:58 |
| Athleone | Im more of a typer person | 04:58 |
| Trizzle | indy: okay I'm back now. what was the command to find out my version of ubuntu? | 04:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Trizzle, lsb_release -a | 04:58 |
| The_Bridge | the dns that i enter in the network setting keeps on changing itself to modem's vendor ip | 04:58 |
| amirman84 | athleone: i chose ubuntu, because it has the best support community and best all around features | 04:58 |
| Athleone | wow, this channel sure is fast... | 04:58 |
| UberCanuck | Ek0nomik, if your live cd isn't working, you are going to have troubles - me, I'd go do Gentoo and do that, but not recommended for everyone | 04:58 |
| Athleone | alright, ubuntu... | 04:58 |
| The_Bridge | the dns that i enter in the network setting keeps on changing itself to modem's vendor ip,what should i do? | 04:58 |
| pygmymath | Athleone: Packages coming out of its ears = ubuntu :P | 04:58 |
| Trizzle | okay, so I have version 7.10, what is the best/quickest way to update to latest version? | 04:59 |
| Athleone | I heard SuSE is good too, though.. | 04:59 |
| Y-Town | Athleone: Smart choice | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | codo, if the ubuntu-modules package isn't installed for some reason, definitely install it. | 04:59 |
| tof | what is the better way to make a little linux program ? | 04:59 |
| The_Bridge | fyi,the provider gave me allied telesyn dsl modem | 04:59 |
| Cpudan80 | Trizzle: Click the upgrade button in the update manager | 04:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Athleone: its all a matter of opinion, i hate all rpm distros | 04:59 |
| tof | do you know a good tuto | 04:59 |
| amirman84 | athleone: if you install ubuntu with wubi, it wont mess with windows at all, in fact if you decide you want to get rid of it you can just go to add/remove programs and remove "ubuntu" from there | 04:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | but i'm glad others like them | 04:59 |
| carlos | do i need new drivers for blank LCD on lid open | 04:59 |
| Athleone | ouch, this channel is the fastest ive seen | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Athleone, it's purely a matter of preference. i personally feel that ubuntu gives the best balance between "works well for normal users" and "tinkerable to your heart's content" | 04:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Trizzle: what version are you updting? | 04:59 |
| Athleone | my heads goin dizzy. | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Athleone, you get used to it after a while :) | 05:00 |
| astro76 | tof: 23:59 < carlos> do i need new drivers for blank LCD on lid open | 05:00 |
| amirman84 | athleone: openSUSE is really good, especially because it usually automatically installs your wireless which can be a pain for some newbies in ubuntu, even though it only requires a few special clicks in software sources | 05:00 |
| astro76 | argh | 05:00 |
| Trizzle | Indy: I just started the update. I thought I had installed hardy heron, but I accidentally installed the previous version | 05:00 |
| carlos | ???? | 05:00 |
| Trizzle | Thanks so much for the help | 05:00 |
| UberCanuck | Daisuke_Laptop, not the best for enterprises, imho | 05:00 |
| Athleone | okay, so whats the best for a complete n00b? | 05:00 |
| astro76 | tof: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html | 05:00 |
| opop | wooooooo | 05:00 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Athleone, definitely ubuntu :) | 05:01 |
| Athleone | ubuntu, huh.. | 05:01 |
| amirman84 | athleone: one of the reasons i didn't install openSUSE is because i heard that the package manager , the thing that installs software for you, was really slow | 05:01 |
| pygmymath | Athleone: Ubuntu, you can see how fast this channel goes :P | 05:01 |
| localgod12 | yah | 05:01 |
| UberCanuck | Athleone, ubuntu is great of newbies | 05:01 |
| tof | nobody know good programming tuto for beginners ? | 05:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | !tab | Trizzle there's no point in only typing half my name, as i can't watch 1400 people chatting.. | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Trizzle there's no point in only typing half my name, as i can't watch 1400 people chatting..: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 05:01 |
| The_Bridge | the dns that i enter in the network setting keeps on changing itself to modem's vendor ip,what should i do? | 05:01 |
| carlos | astro76: ... | 05:01 |
| Athleone | okay........... | 05:01 |
| vader | can someone please help me with an ssh question? | 05:01 |
| carlos | tof: what language | 05:01 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tof, that all depends on what language you want to learn. | 05:01 |
| lucian | hello | 05:01 |
| Athleone | ubuntu then. | 05:01 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | vader, shoot. | 05:01 |
| astro76 | carlos: I really don't know how that line got in my paste buffer ;) | 05:01 |
| lucian | there a irc for brazilian users | 05:01 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | !br | lucian | 05:01 |
| ubottu | lucian: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 05:01 |
| opop | i'll paste yer buffer | 05:01 |
| carlos | astro76: lol k | 05:01 |
| amirman84 | athleone: ubuntu is the best for noobs because the support community is so huge and always there | 05:01 |
| lucian | thanks | 05:01 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-br lucian | 05:01 |
| r_rehashed | how about fedora ;-) | 05:01 |
| tof | i like C or C++ but i know they are a little hard to learn | 05:01 |
| Y-Town | Athleone: You should have that about halfway downloaded by now LOL | 05:02 |
| opop | fedora is the f41l | 05:02 |
| localgod12 | unless you need samba help | 05:02 |
| bazhang | r_rehashed: #fedora | 05:02 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tof, there are tons of resources online for any llanguage you could possibly want to learn | 05:02 |
| r_rehashed | lol | 05:02 |
| carlos | tof: try python if its your first language it rocks | 05:02 |
| r_rehashed | kidding | 05:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | if fedora wasn't rpm based, it would be fine | 05:02 |
| Athleone | im not gonna download ubuntu on this box, its screwed up. Im installing it on the box Im moving to. | 05:02 |
| UberCanuck | r_rehashed, fedora is great, maybe not for noobs or enterprise desktops | 05:02 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | python or java | 05:02 |
| vader | I want to move files from one computer to another. But to access the other i have to ssh into one system, them ssh from that one into the next. | 05:02 |
| r_rehashed | true | 05:02 |
| matthew | will xubuntu run on a pentium mmx computer? | 05:02 |
| astro76 | tof: I'd say stick with C, or at least start with it, it is the Language of Linux and Gnome too... and Python is cool too | 05:02 |
| tof | i would like to know how do you make a linux program | 05:02 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | vader, sftp :) | 05:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | its my favorite rpm distro. | 05:02 |
| pygmymath | < lives in hardy more than vista | 05:02 |
| UberCanuck | tof: piles and piles of C/C++ docs in un*x | 05:02 |
| carlos | python rocks my socks is so simple | 05:03 |
| joshvittetoe | hi guys, i have some questions on how i can dual boot ubuntu and xp | 05:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | matthew: whast the speed of the processor? | 05:03 |
| bazhang | matthew: you might consider fluxbuntu--how much ram | 05:03 |
| tof | Python is portable to another platform ? | 05:03 |
| vader | i dont really know how to send files over ssh from the command line only | 05:03 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | vader, go to Places > Connect to server | 05:03 |
| amirman84 | athleone: i think you should definitely install ubuntu with wubi before partitioning drives or anything, just so you can see how it reacts with your hardware: one of the biggest problems for noobs (myself included) is when your hardware doesnt automatically work | 05:03 |
| Bodsda | !ot | carlos | 05:03 |
| ubottu | carlos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 05:03 |

| carlos | grrr stupid screen making me mad | 05:03 |
| Athleone | alright, I'll use wubi then | 05:03 |
| Athleone | oops. | 05:03 |
| Athleone | gtg | 05:03 |
| Athleone | bye | 05:03 |
| matthew | <IndyGunFreak> i believe 200 | 05:03 |
| FloodBot1 | Athleone: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:03 |
| Athleone | brb | 05:03 |
| amirman84 | !wubi athleone | 05:03 |
| ubottu | Factoid wubi athleone not found | 05:03 |
| joshvittetoe | can i do this with each OS on 2 separate hard drives | 05:03 |
| friedtofu | joshvittetoe: once you install ubuntu - the script for grub will automatically add xp to the list... and you should be able to choose it from there when you boot your comptuer | 05:03 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | vader, change the service type to ssh, then enter the login credentials for the other machine | 05:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | matthew: yeah, you need to probably look at flux. | 05:03 |
| amirman84 | !wubi | 05:03 |
| === Athleone is now known as Athleone|away | ||
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 05:03 |
| vader | that will get me to the inbetween machine.. how do i get to the next machine | 05:03 |
| friedtofu | joshvittetoe: you dont need two seperate harddrives but at least 2 partitions... or more | 05:03 |
| matthew | <IndyGunFreak> fluxbuntu doesn't have a 8.04 version yet though does it | 05:04 |
| dmsuperman | Does anybody know how to control the firefox hsitory from the commandline? Is there a command line argument that goes forward/backward? | 05:04 |
| tmapj | can anyone help im getting "su: Authentication failure" when i run "su -" | 05:04 |
| carlos | i dont know how to fix | 05:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | matthew: don't know.. | 05:04 |
| pygmymath | matthew: sudo apt-get install fluxbox? | 05:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | vader, connect directly to the third machine? | 05:04 |
| pygmymath | matthew: its a wm, same as kde or ice | 05:04 |
| UberCanuck | dmsuperman, good question, no idea | 05:04 |
| * Bodsda notices a huge increase in host name failures | 05:04 | |
| tof | thank you :) | 05:04 |
| matthew | <pygmymath> so i could do ubuntu server install and then get everything else? | 05:04 |
| vader | i cant connect directly to the third machine due to firewall | 05:04 |
| UberCanuck | tmapj, did you enable root's passwd first? | 05:04 |
| pygmymath | matthew: i guessso... never done it myself :) | 05:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | vader, sftp wouldn't work then :\ | 05:05 |
| vader | but i have been given access to a machine wchich can access the third machine | 05:05 |
| tmapj | what do you mean enable? | 05:05 |
| astro76 | matthew: or use the minimal cd perhaps | 05:05 |
| amirman84 | pygmymath, couldn't fluxbuntu as a whole system not have all its apps and everything caught up tho?. | 05:05 |
| UberCanuck | tmapj, at the command line `sudo passwd root` | 05:05 |
| maunykah | ok is it possible that anyone here can tell me how to fix a "malformed line 42 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list" | 05:05 |
| Scunizi | In system monitor I have 6 "debus-daemon"'s listed all with the same command line referance.. what's up with that? anyone know? | 05:05 |
| UberCanuck | tmapj, then you can do `su - ` | 05:05 |
| maunykah | or better yet where can I find it to change it | 05:05 |
| tmapj | what is that command | 05:05 |
| Bodsda | maunykah: pastebin the file plz | 05:05 |
| astro76 | !sudo | tmapj | 05:06 |
| amirman84 | pygmymath: because fluxbox is a windows manager but fluxbuntu has a whole system too | 05:06 |
| ubottu | tmapj: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 05:06 |
| UberCanuck | tmapj, it adds a passwd to root, which is otherwise disabled by default in Ubuntu | 05:06 |
| maunykah | bodsda how do you I get to pastebin again | 05:06 |
| joshvittetoe | so i cant do a dual boot with 2 seperate hard drives? | 05:06 |
| dmsuperman | UberCanuck, Darn. Perhaps you know of an alternate solution: I'm trying to map my mouse's forward/back buttons to firefox's back/forward (perhaps even to some sort of global back/forward like windows has). Alt + Left and Right aren't good, because for some reason when I try that it gets some odd effects | 05:06 |
| choudesh | maunykah, please pastebin your sources.list | 05:06 |
| pygmymath | amirman84: aaah sorry i misunderstood, didnt realise fluxbuntu had more than just fluxbox | 05:06 |
| Bodsda | !paste | maunykah | 05:06 |
| ubottu | maunykah: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:06 |
| vader | i thought i could use sshfs on the second machine to mount the directories of the third machine.. but the second machine doesnt have it.. and I have limited permissions on it | 05:06 |
| bazhang | #fluxbuntu has more info :] | 05:06 |
| joshvittetoe | friedtofu | 05:06 |
| vader | but i have full permissions on the third machine | 05:06 |
| friedtofu | joshvittetoe: yeah? | 05:06 |
| UberCanuck | dmsuperman, interesting - back/forwd even when firefox doesn't have focus? | 05:07 |
| joshvittetoe | hi, i pmd you | 05:07 |
| pygmymath | amirman84: if you're looking for lighterweight wm's and aren't concerned about space icewm and fluxbox are great heh. and you can apt get leafpad etc still | 05:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | or, i'll paypal matt 30 bucks for that box, and have a nice big metal target | 05:07 |
| amirman84 | pygmymath: i'm not exactly sure, just kinda thinking about it, i mean fluxbuntu would have their own set of apps and everything made to be integrated in fluxbox i guess and maybe that stuff isn't caught up with the kernel changes | 05:07 |
| DanaG | I: module-hal-detect.c: Trying capability alsa | 05:07 |
| DanaG | I: alsa-util.c: Couldn't open PCM device surround51:1: Device or resource busy ..... and same for up to 71 | 05:07 |
| DanaG | W: alsa-util.c: Device front:1 doesn't support sample format float32le, changed to s16le. | 05:07 |
| dmsuperman | UberCanuck, I don't really care about focus, I just want my back/forward buttons to act as actual back and forward buttons. Alt + Left only works in linux, and even then I get odd effects | 05:07 |
| codo | Daisuke_Laptop: I do a dirty trick is to copy all modules file and firmware of ipw2100 from other laptop and try to do modprobe but it said the module is not found, is there any file I should edit? | 05:07 |
| friedtofu | joshvittetoe: dont see you in my pms :/ | 05:07 |
| DanaG | Argh, PulseAudio won't do surround on my sound card. | 05:08 |
| pygmymath | amirman84: true. you can still get the feel by usign fluxbox if you wanna config that ( i gave up and used icewm ) | 05:08 |
| dmsuperman | UberCanuck, Alt + Left only works in firefox* | 05:08 |
| DanaG | And Audigy2 won't do 24-bit audio, either. | 05:08 |
| UberCanuck | dmsuperman, no idea, but i wish you luck... and hope you release your code to the community when done :-) | 05:08 |
| joshvittetoe | lol what? u just replied to me | 05:08 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | codo, i have no idea how one would go about that | 05:08 |
| amirman84 | pygmymath: i've got a pretty robust laptop, i'm nuts over compiz-fusion so i'd rather just stick with GNOME since it plays so nicely already | 05:08 |
| DanikarPN | sfd | 05:08 |
| dmsuperman | UberCanuck, I will certainly do that if I get it figured out :D | 05:08 |
| Athleone|away | WOW. | 05:08 |

| amirman84 | pygmymath: the only lightweight wm i've ever used was XFCE in puppy linux, it's very satisfactory | 05:08 |

| UberCanuck | Athleone|away, its a 'love it or hate it' language - enjoying Ruby right now myself | 05:09 |
| DanaG | I think 'wtf' and the full spelled out thing are way different. | 05:09 |
| joshvittetoe | ok, so basically i cant have 2 hard drives, one with xp and the other with ubuntu?? | 05:09 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | wth | 05:10 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | h meaning heck, of course! | 05:10 |
| DanaG | h could also be taken badly. | 05:10 |

| maunykah | and to refresh the problem, the error message that I received after I stupidly checked options in the "manage depositories" section in adept is this:The APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem. | 05:10 |

| roxahris | How do I start KDE4 instead? | 05:13 |
| amirman84 | maunykah, but since the error is in line 42 of that file, it would help | 05:14 |
| DanaG | roxahris: at the login screen, choose "session" | 05:14 |

| UberCanuck | roxahris, a couple ways, and assuming you installed correctly, simply select the session on the login screen | 05:14 |
| maunykah | I don't remember how someone else had assisted me in doing so | 05:14 |
| bazhang | tmapj: you may also wish to visit #winehq if you dont get answer here | 05:14 |

| pygmymath | kDESUDESUDESUDESU | 05:16 |
| Bodsda | amirman84: if u have pastebinit installed then yes it is | 05:16 |
| bazhang | pygmymath: do you have a supprot question? | 05:16 |
| DanaG | That's odd.... if I scroll in Firefox, audio drops out. | 05:17 |
| UberCanuck | anyone else go to LinuxFest Northwest? | 05:17 |
| amirman84 | hydrogen: that's awesome i'm going to have to get that right now just in case, what's the -i argument do? | 05:17 |
| Hydrogen | Bodsda: choudesh amirman84: theres no reason to open /etc/apt/sources.list as root. It's readable by your common users | 05:17 |
| DanaG | Completely Fair Scheduler, my $BODY_PART | 05:17 |
| Hydrogen | amirman84: tells it to read from a file instead of stdout | 05:17 |
| maunykah | it tells me that gksu isn't currently installed. I tried to install it and then I get the malformed line 42 in source list message twice | 05:17 |
| Hydrogen | err | 05:17 |
| Hydrogen | stdin | 05:17 |
| DanaG | Heh, note that that's open-ended. | 05:17 |
| Hydrogen | :> | 05:17 |
| choudesh | Hydrogen, I understand that. But he needs to edit it in a bit. | 05:17 |
| pawan | hi | 05:17 |
| maunykah | and then it is says the list of sources could not be read | 05:17 |
| Bodsda | Hydrogen: but to save it after change there is -- why dont you just get off my case | 05:17 |
| DanaG | Just like saying "thank $DEITY" | 05:17 |
| amirman84 | hydrogen: oh, thought everything in those funny little folders was protected | 05:17 |
| bazhang | Bodsda: please relax | 05:17 |
| Bodsda | bazhang: sorry dude | 05:18 |
| r00tintheb0x | Yeah, relas Bodsda | 05:18 |
| carlos | ok there's something wrong with firefox i was trying to use the find option(ctrl-f) and twice when i tried my computer when back to login screen | 05:18 |
| r00tintheb0x | relax too | 05:18 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: can you copypaste line 42 into here? | 05:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: i'm convinced ubotu needs a !paxil trigger | 05:18 |
| drivetrax | tmapj, - In Winecfg under the Drives tab you'll see buttons to add and remove available drives. | 05:18 |
| Hydrogen | just gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:18 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: ;] | 05:18 |
| choudesh | Bodsda, Hydrogen was just reminding us not to play with root. ;-) | 05:18 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos: GKrellM Themes? http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gkrellm/Themes.html | 05:18 |
| carlos | ok everything i do it seems is making my computer go to login screen | 05:19 |
| drivetrax | tmapj, - is your drive set up.. there? | 05:19 |
| carlos | what is wrong? | 05:19 |
| maunykah | E: Malformed line 42 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) | 05:19 |
| carlos | i just opened evolution n same thing | 05:19 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, you're going to have to be more descriptive. | 05:19 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, have you checked any log files? | 05:19 |
| tmapj | drive c is already listed | 05:19 |
| Bodsda | choudesh: playing with root would be logging in as root -- sudo is used more then 100 times a day on my system it is not dangerous when used properly | 05:19 |
| pawan | how to configure xorg.conf for nvidia 5200 | 05:20 |
| DanaG | !gksu | 05:20 |
| 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) | 05:20 |
| drivetrax | tmapj, without the browser, try to access the drive..top directory level, | 05:20 |
| choudesh | Bodsda, I understand that. But in maunykah case - there is the possibility of screwing it up more. ;-) | 05:20 |
| r00tintheb0x | choudesh, dont do anything as root unless you HAVE to if you're a n00b. | 05:20 |
| r00tintheb0x | Period. | 05:20 |
| r00tintheb0x | Thanks mmmkay?! | 05:20 |
| tmapj | drivetrax how do i do that? | 05:20 |
| Hydrogen | don't do anything as root unless you have to | 05:20 |
| drivetrax | cmd.. a shell | 05:20 |
| Hydrogen | the noob part can be left out | 05:20 |
| navetz | is there a way to copy things over ssh from a local server to a remote server? | 05:20 |
| UberCanuck | Bodsda, better in some ways, better logging for example, pinpoint authorization to apps and or users/groups, etc | 05:20 |
| r00tintheb0x | haha @ <drivetrax> cmd.. a shell | 05:20 |
| carlos | ? | 05:20 |
| Bodsda | choudesh: maybe so but he has a problem with a dodgy line in sources.list that needs editing so it has to be opened as root ;~) | 05:20 |
| amirman84 | i used gksu to open nautilus and install a certificate yesterday, i felt like i learned something :) | 05:21 |
| Bodsda | UberCanuck: ???? | 05:21 |
| drivetrax | r00tintheb0x, Wine has a shell | 05:21 |
| Bodsda | !yay | amirman84 | 05:21 |
| ubottu | amirman84: Glad you made it! :-) | 05:21 |
| r00tintheb0x | drivetrax, okay. Still looked funny "cmd" and "shell" in the same sentence. | 05:21 |
| UberCanuck | Bodsda, sorry, about 'sudo' | 05:21 |
| choudesh | Bodsda, I know. That was I agreed on the use of gksu. I was just trying to get you and Hydrogen to play nice. ^-^ | 05:21 |
| drivetrax | well, thas all cmd is.. for windows | 05:21 |
| tof | navetz maybe wget command can help you | 05:21 |
| r00tintheb0x | gksu = su @ bash. | 05:21 |
| tmapj | drivetrax i dont know how to try to access the drive | 05:21 |
| r00tintheb0x | gksudo = sudo @ bash. | 05:21 |
| navetz | drivetrax: thanks | 05:21 |
| carlos | r00tintheb0x: how do i check log files | 05:22 |
| Hydrogen | heh, wineconsole cmd | 05:22 |
| Hydrogen | :-) | 05:22 |
| amirman84 | bodsda and bot friend: thank you | 05:22 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, they're in /var/log. | 05:22 |
| Bodsda | choudesh: ok,.,.no probs ;~) UberCanuck oh kk | 05:22 |
| Bodsda | amirman84: your welcome | 05:22 |
| r00tintheb0x | You can use the command line to look at it using less, more, cat, grep, or whatnot. | 05:22 |
| carlos | r00tintheb0x: ok what am i looking for | 05:22 |
| r00tintheb0x | i would "tail -n 50 /var/log/messages" | 05:23 |
| drivetrax | tmapj - did you re-read ALL this > http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main#AEN288 | 05:23 |
| amirman84 | do any of you know of any good linux for beginners video podcasts? | 05:23 |
| tmapj | drivetrax i dont know how to try to access the drive | 05:23 |
| r00tintheb0x | Anything that would be indicative of why you machine is crashing to GDM. | 05:23 |
| Hydrogen | Theres probably a few log viewers that have ui's as well | 05:23 |
| choudesh | r00tintheb0x, oops. I missed the do. gksudo is what I meant. ;-) | 05:23 |
| tmapj | no but ill read it now | 05:23 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, i would look @ /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:23 |
| carlos | r00tintheb0x: should i pase it here orwhere | 05:23 |
| bazhang | amirman84: there are tons out there let me find a link | 05:23 |
| r00tintheb0x | ;) @ choudesh | 05:23 |
| Hydrogen | anyways, maunykah, can you paste the file (or at least line 42) somewhere..? | 05:23 |
| bazhang | indy ;] | 05:24 |
| amirman84 | bazhang: thanks! | 05:24 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, paste the output of "tail -n 25 /var/log/Xorg.0.log" to http://pastebin.ca | 05:24 |
| drivetrax | tmapj - Sounds like you did not map the root C: under wine.. if that is possible | 05:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | :) | 05:24 |
| maunykah | hydrogen I wish I could, I don't know how to access that entire list of lines | 05:24 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:24 |
| mysticdarkhack | anyone here know howto get mozilla-mplayer to work in firefox 3? | 05:24 |
| mysticdarkhack | it seem that not all plugin work in ff3 | 05:25 |
| Bodsda | maunykah: enter the command Hydrogen gave you in a terminal | 05:25 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, im not getting any younger :P | 05:25 |
| drivetrax | Mozilla has a Huge forum | 05:25 |
| maunykah | I have and I get the message that gedit isn't installed | 05:25 |
| carlos | r00tintheb0x: here http://pastebin.ca/1005698 | 05:25 |
| LadyNikon | !lamp | 05:25 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 05:25 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: are you on kubuntu by chance? | 05:25 |
| maunykah | yes I am | 05:25 |
| Bodsda | maunykah: are you using kubuntu? | 05:25 |
| Hydrogen | does kate /etc/apt/sources.list work? | 05:25 |
| Hydrogen | ah | 05:25 |
| maunykah | yes | 05:25 |
| Hydrogen | yes, kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:26 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos join #r00tintheb0x | 05:26 |
| Hydrogen | kdesu /etc/apt/sources.list actually | 05:26 |
| drivetrax | lamp.. is that as fully featured as apache? | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | drivetrax: it contains apache | 05:26 |
| amirman84 | mysticdarkhack: there's a little config tweaking you can do, i'll find the link for you, but i should just add that it makes your FF3 more vulnerable to being destroyed by addons that might do just that | 05:26 |
| maunykah | woohoo! Kate opened | 05:26 |

| moDumass | i have mounted 1Xhdd inside a nas device, and i have mounted that hdd on my desktop, now ive put a second hdd inside the nas, how do i mount that to my hdd? | 05:29 |
| amirman84 | maunykah:; looks like you just have to add dashes where the spaces are in ubuntu hardy partner | 05:29 |
| localgod11 | how do i select all in nano | 05:29 |
| Hydrogen | it should be deb-src | 05:29 |
| AussieGuy | If my motherboards specifications say "Upgradeable to 1gb of ram" what would happen if I put 2gb in? | 05:29 |
| Hydrogen | not deb src | 05:29 |
| moDumass | please just point me in a direction, google is turning up nothing, but im prob asking the wrong question | 05:29 |
| DarkLordVenom | i mean, you know how you have the root account, then you make another account for the system user that has sudo privileges, what groups does that one belong to? | 05:29 |
| bazhang | AussieGuy: eeepc? | 05:29 |
| pawan | is my geforce 5200 card supported by hardy | 05:29 |
| Starnestommy | DarkLordVenom: that user would be in the admin group | 05:29 |

| localgod11 | AussieGuy: nothin | 05:29 |
| roxahris | KDE4 is alright, but I like GNOME better. | 05:30 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: did you open it with kate /etc/apt/sources.list or kdesu /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:30 |
| moDumass | bazhang its an ASUS micro laptop, really awesome, runs on some linux flavoure | 05:30 |
| amirman84 | bazhang: i was looking more along the lines of a regular show type thing that i could subscribe to in miro, but if there are that many i'll have to check them out | 05:30 |
| AussieGuy | would most likely it work? | 05:30 |
| tof | moDumass what nas it is ? | 05:30 |
| Hydrogen | err "or kdesu kate /ec/apt/sources.list | 05:30 |
| CYREX | dont compare kde4 with gnome | 05:30 |

| Hydrogen | maunykah: yea | 05:30 |

| Hydrogen | CYREX: yet it still blows it away :-) | 05:30 |

| DanaG | Celeron == no speedstep == poor battery life. | 05:30 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: okay, you need to reopen using kdesu, so you can edit it | 05:30 |
| amirman84 | hydrogen: what about the sapces in "ubuntu hardy partner" | 05:31 |
| DanaG | They'd be better off with, at the very least, a first-gen Pentium M. | 05:31 |
| Hydrogen | do you need that line? | 05:31 |
| maunykah | I left it open | 05:31 |
| Hydrogen | amirman84: thats fine | 05:31 |
| maunykah | which line should I alter? | 05:31 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: yes, you need to open it as root, as its a system file | 05:31 |
| Hydrogen | so you need to open it as "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" | 05:31 |
| iwan | hai? | 05:31 |

| maunykah | save it now? | 05:33 |
| amirman84 | pawan, what nv card do you have exactly? | 05:33 |
| opop | wonder if there's a new driver on rtl-wifi svn... | 05:33 |
| pawan | fx 5200 | 05:33 |
| AussieGuy | most probably. ill find a forum for that motherboard just to be sure | 05:34 |
| AussieGuy | someone else has probably tried it | 05:34 |
| bcgrown | Hi, I'm on 8.04. Every time I try to log out/shut down/restart, the menu panels close and then I am left with the PC hanging, showing the desktop image. If I leave it be, it will stay there forever. Ctl-Alt-Backspace allows the process to continue. Where should i start looking for the problem? | 05:34 |
| Y-Town | anyone know of a good website that has linux software categorized? | 05:34 |
| DanaG | I wonder if there's an RTL8180 driver. | 05:34 |
| localgod11 | AussieGuy: I am sure | 05:34 |
| opop | DanaG, i'm sure there is... | 05:34 |
| maunykah | quick question: I don't need to put "#" in front of the lines do I? I mean for lines 42 and 43? | 05:34 |
| opop | is that one broken too, you mean, DanaG | 05:34 |
| bazhang | bcgrown: launchpad bug reports | 05:34 |
| LadyNikon | Is there a cpanel type program for ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| DanaG | It's not in the packaged kernel. | 05:34 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: adding a # in front of them disables them | 05:34 |
| DanaG | I don't need it, but it bugs me that it's missing. | 05:34 |
| maunykah | ohhh ok | 05:34 |
| maunykah | so I can save it now right? | 05:34 |
| ldiamond | I just setup Ubuntu on a USB hard drive. I want to add several boot options (such as dos6.22, dos5.0, win98 boot disk, freedos, bartPE, etc). How can I do that with ubuntu and grub? | 05:35 |
| r00tintheb0x | carlos, let me know when you're not lagging. | 05:35 |
| bcgrown | bazhang: i've looked there, and found lots of reports but no solutions... | 05:35 |
| opop | DanaG, lemme check...i can't find a compilable version of that driver, however--wondering if i'm missing a library--although i predict it's just crappy code... | 05:35 |
| DanaG | Not 2.6.24-compatible, I've heard. | 05:35 |
| opop | DanaG, not that i'm criticizing the devs | 05:35 |
| bazhang | bcgrown: the first workarounds will be posted there; can you boot from an earlier kernel | 05:35 |
| DanaG | As in, won't compile. | 05:35 |
| opop | DanaG, me too. | 05:35 |
| bcgrown | bazhang: yes i can try that | 05:35 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: yes | 05:35 |
| luis__ | barack | 05:36 |
| maunykah | it works!! thanks so much hydrogen and others for your patience! | 05:36 |
| opop | DanaG, that's the rumor, but there are others out there--nothing on the rtl-wifi forums on compile failure, however (hosted on sf) | 05:36 |
| Hydrogen | maunykah: yay :) | 05:36 |
| bcgrown | bazhang: i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 so i should be able to still boot from the old kernel, right? (they both appear in my GRUB menu still) | 05:36 |
| maunykah | =D | 05:36 |
| bazhang | luis__: this is ubuntu supprot channel do you have a question | 05:36 |
| === kausikram is now known as kausi | ||

| maunykah | before I stop bothering you all(haha), how can I safely add dvd playback? | 05:37 |
| bcgrown | cross your fingers for me :) | 05:37 |
| maunykah | I was trying to add libdvdcss2 | 05:37 |
| Hydrogen | !dvd | 05:37 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 05:37 |
| Fa | i use vlc to play dvds | 05:37 |
| amirman84 | maunykah, install the medibuntu repository, i'll find the page with instructions for you | 05:37 |
| opop | DanaG, looks like the current rtl-wifi svn tree has something called "rtl8180-migration-for-upstream" and "rtl8180-sa2400-dev", which means to me that it's borked | 05:37 |
| opop | DanaG, based on the fact it's still marked dev | 05:37 |
| DLJ_ | Is there away to uninstall gnome completely and just use fluxbox without having to download another iso of ubuntu? | 05:37 |
| opop | DLJ_, yes. Next question? | 05:38 |
| maunykah | is it this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 05:38 |
| maunykah | ? | 05:38 |

| opop | DLJ_, that's a good question. | 05:38 |

| Jazman___ | well it is | 05:44 |
| opop | i'm on amd64, however | 05:44 |
| Dent_ | Hydrogen: vi is lil faster when you just need to edit something instead of waitinf for vim to pop up | 05:44 |
| r00tintheb0x | mike@malakai:~$ which vi | 05:44 |
| r00tintheb0x | /usr/bin/vi | 05:44 |

| r00tintheb0x | Hydrogen, looks like two different binaries to me. | 05:44 |
| Hydrogen | r00tintheb0x: but the same program | 05:45 |
| opop | pelo and i didn't upgrade...so it's not hal per se | 05:45 |
| opop | maybe | 05:45 |
| Hydrogen | just run `vi` | 05:45 |
| * Pelo never know what's what anymore, shit use to be bad, then it was good, no he's not sure, Jazman___ clarify pleease | 05:45 | |
| Hydrogen | the splash that pops up | 05:45 |
| r00tintheb0x | No, they're not the same. VIM is a spin off of VI. | 05:45 |
| Hydrogen | VIM - Vi IMproved | 05:45 |
| Jazman___ | boots op then goes to dos dont no command to get it up teice i haved to install it | 05:45 |
| r00tintheb0x | I know, im being literal. | 05:45 |
| Hydrogen | right, vim is a splash of vi | 05:45 |
| Hydrogen | but, `vi` on your system | 05:45 |
| Hydrogen | is actually vim | 05:45 |
| bazhang | jazman dos? | 05:45 |
| r00tintheb0x | no, vi is vi... vim is vi improved. | 05:46 |
| fluidd | Hi, when using tar to extract. there's a corrupt file, let's say file1.dat.. how do i extract backup.tar.gz, but exclude file1.dat so it will extract the rest of the achive?? (does this make sense?) | 05:46 |
| localgod11 | why does ubuntu keep forgetting my wifi pass? | 05:46 |

| bazhang | night Pelo | 05:46 |
| Hydrogen | r00tintheb0x: no, running the command vi *on your system* is the *exact same thign* as running vim *on your system* | 05:46 |
| Dent_ | r00tintheb0x: hey its me carlos...o | 05:46 |
| opop | pelo, try reinstalling hal real quick | 05:46 |

| DarkLordVenom | is there a way to make ls show only hidden files | 05:48 |
| DanaG | Linux GLaDOS 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 05:48 |
| Jazman___ | but i do like it but cd label print wont work under wine | 05:48 |
| DanaG | CPU is Core Duo 1.83GHz. | 05:48 |
| bazhang | jazman see glabels | 05:48 |
| amirman84 | jazman_: giving up and starting from scratch is the windows way, leave that world behind. with linux we can find out whats wrong and fix it because it's all open source | 05:48 |
| cdubya | Madpilot, system > preferences | 05:48 |
| opop | DanaG, why not 64-bit? working great here, with certain hardware issues | 05:48 |
| arvind_khadri | Madpilot, its system->preferences->screen resolutions :) | 05:48 |
| fazuka_ | no wobbly windows with scale | 05:49 |
| fazuka_ | ? | 05:49 |
| fluidd | Hi, when using tar to extract. there's a corrupt file, let's say file1.dat.. how do i extract backup.tar.gz, but exclude file1.dat so it will extract the rest of the achive?? (does this make sense?) | 05:49 |
| Hydrogen | DarkLordVenom: a cheap way... ls -a | grep '^\.' | 05:49 |
| moonwatcher_ | /quit | 05:49 |
| amirman84 | maunykah: i used the method from that site i sent you, was any of it confusing to you? maybe you ran the wrong option on there... | 05:49 |
| Hydrogen | There may be an option to only show hidden to ls | 05:49 |
| bazhang | fazuka_: at the same time? no | 05:49 |
| amenado | Madpilot-> on a terminal type gnome-display-properties | 05:49 |
| Hydrogen | but I know that works :) | 05:49 |
| DanaG | Core Duo is Yonah, which is 32-bit. | 05:49 |
| Madpilot | arvind_khadri, cdubya - that's for regular resolution, my problem is GDM's settings | 05:49 |
| opop | DanaG, not core 2 duo, my bad. | 05:49 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, read the man pages | 05:49 |
| opop | DanaG, anywho sorry about your sound. | 05:49 |
| maunykah | I just copied and pasted | 05:49 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, one factor is that I run folding@home (2 instances; one per core) | 05:49 |
| Jazman___ | but i dont know how to fix linux | 05:49 |
| arvind_khadri | Madpilot, ok so check in the xorg.conf | 05:50 |
| opop | DanaG, emu10k or what? | 05:50 |
| xim | anyone know what user name and password samba is looking for? | 05:50 |
| fluidd | I tried, but obviously I messed up my syntaxes, arvind_khadri I tried --exclude command. | 05:50 |
| opop | Jazman___, what's broken? | 05:50 |
| DanaG | Yeah. Card is notebook Audigy2. | 05:50 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, ok the best way is to google :) | 05:50 |
| bazhang | jazman that is why we are here ;] | 05:50 |
| fluidd | Tried that to | 05:50 |
| Hydrogen | r00tintheb0x: if you really need proof... diff -b /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/vim | 05:50 |
| fluidd | That's why I'm here. :) | 05:50 |
| Jazman___ | cant boot ubunti | 05:50 |
| DanaG | Oddly, the chip is CA0109-1AG; SBLive is CA0106-something; Audigy is CA10xxxx. | 05:50 |
| DarkLordVenom | thanks hydrogen | 05:50 |
| opop | xim, generally, you have to give it one--no access until you do. | 05:50 |
| timandtom | Is there a good antivirus for Ubuntu? I send a lot of stuff back and forth with a couple of Windows users, I just want to make sure I'm not sending them something nasty :) | 05:50 |
| amirman84 | Jazman_: neither do i but i've gotten a lot of help here and in other irc channels on this server and www.ubuntuforums.com | 05:50 |
| Madpilot | arvind_khadri, was hoping to avoid descent into the conf itself, but I'll have a look there. Thanks. | 05:50 |
| Jazman___ | the slapsh goes up then goeas to a does type screen | 05:50 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, ok let me check the man pages | 05:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | lol | 05:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | bleh @ Hydrogen | 05:51 |
| opop | xim, what are you trying to do that is prompting you? | 05:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | you win ;) | 05:51 |
| arvind_khadri | Madpilot, :) no other way | 05:51 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? | 05:51 |
| xim | opop, access it from a windows computer | 05:51 |
| xim | i tried using my reuglar login and password but no dice | 05:51 |
| bazhang | Madpilot: is it sudo displayconfig-gtk not sure with hardy xorg now | 05:51 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, you want to unzip right | 05:51 |
| fluidd | Yes. | 05:51 |
| === tadpole is now known as TadPole | ||
| DanaG | Completely Fair Scheduler: EPIC FAIL! | 05:52 |
| keith | what happened to the shared folders in hardy? | 05:52 |
| amirman84 | maunykah: are you sure you copied and pasted the right lines in the right order? i'm also thinking that maybe those lines don't mesh well with kubuntu, but i dont see any ubuntu specific commands on there | 05:52 |
| DanaG | Compiling something should NOT cause audio dropouts! | 05:52 |
| jburd | DanaG: hmm? | 05:52 |
| arvind_khadri | bazhang, thats the same as system->preferences one :) | 05:52 |
| amirman84 | maunykah: but also i am a n00000b | 05:52 |
| bazhang | timandtom: clamav and avast for linux | 05:52 |
| fluidd | I came up with: tar -xzvf backup.tar.gz --exclude-tag-all=file1.dat, but no luck, arvind_khadri . | 05:52 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, ok wait a min | 05:52 |
| maunykah | oh yea..I should look for commands for kubuntu then right? | 05:52 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Do those check for viruses that would hit Windows as well? | 05:52 |
| DanaG | Rotating my **** CUBE should not cause audio dropouts! | 05:52 |
| Hydrogen | DanaG: This is off topic for this channel | 05:53 |
| bazhang | timandtom: should do if you keep them updated | 05:53 |
| Jazman___ | so when i boot up the slash type logo goes up in a few secs then the does type page comes up | 05:53 |
| === TadPole is now known as LoRd | ||
| Hydrogen | please take your rant elsewhere | 05:53 |
| opop | DanaG, ick | 05:53 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, ok do you know regular expressions | 05:53 |
| DanaG | Well, it IS an issue withHardy. | 05:53 |
| Jazman___ | whats better gnome or kde | 05:53 |
| === LoRd is now known as Sentinel | ||
| fluidd | arvind_khadri, Negative. | 05:53 |
| maunykah | I mean it starts to install or unpackage something in the terminal, but then at the end I get that public key error | 05:53 |
| Hydrogen | DanaG: and your not asking a question, or searching for support | 05:53 |
| Hydrogen | -> its off topic | 05:53 |
| DanaG | But anyway, I'll switch off "rant mode" now. | 05:53 |
| maunykah | not sure what's going on there | 05:53 |
| bazhang | DanaG: best to file a bug report or confirm others | 05:53 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Ah, sweet, thanks :) | 05:54 |
| opop | DanaG, what sort of video hardware? | 05:54 |
| DanaG | nvidia. | 05:54 |
| opop | DanaG, and are you using a sound server? | 05:54 |
| amirman84 | HEY maunykah! | 05:54 |
| amirman84 | maunykah: try this one "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" | 05:54 |
| opop | DanaG, like esd or anything? | 05:54 |
| DanaG | PulseAudio. | 05:54 |
| DanaG | I do use the multi-device features. | 05:55 |
| DanaG | And I am a member of pulse-rt. | 05:55 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | I'm having a hell of a time getting my wireless card working in Hardy. It worked perfectly in Gusty. Now, whenever I do anything with the wlan0 interface, I get the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". The card is a RaLink RT2600. Any ideas? | 05:55 |
| xim | opop what did you mean i have to 'give' it a password? like as i try to connect from a client or some config file on the server? | 05:55 |
| babolat | 2 problems. First, While compiz is on, switching users causes my screen to go white and not respond. 2nd [not sure if compiz relates] When user2 logs out and user1 logs in, user1's desktop experience becomes sssllllooooooowww and laggy. how do i fix this? | 05:55 |
| DanaG | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/188226 -- oddly, even though the kernel I'm now booted from is supposed to fix it, it's not fixed. | 05:55 |
| Jazman___ | any ideas how to get it to boot bugger reinstalling it all the time | 05:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 188226 in linux "Kernel should use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED" [Low,In progress] | 05:55 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, well i feel its this way tar -xzvf <tarball> --exclude="file1.dat" | 05:55 |
| opop | xim, nm that. how did you ask to create the share? through the interface or directly in /etc/samba/smb.conf? | 05:56 |
| ldiamond | I get grub error 21 after installing ubuntu on a USB hard drive. How do I fix that? | 05:56 |
| Jazman___ | looks im going back to windozs | 05:56 |
| fluidd | thanks | 05:56 |
| bazhang | jazman you need to give precise info for us to help | 05:56 |
| arvind_khadri | fluidd, just try and let me know | 05:56 |
| maunykah | oh I did that one amirman84..is that the same thing? | 05:56 |
| Jazman___ | bit hard im on windows | 05:56 |
| babolat | Idiamond, hav u made the proper changes in the grub menu? i mean the HD mapping? | 05:56 |
| LadyNikon | !webmin | 05:56 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 05:56 |
| opop | Jazman___, you shouldn't have to be reinstalling all the time. | 05:56 |
| xim | opop, i havent actually set up a share yet, but just to connect to the server like \\server\ it prompts for a password | 05:56 |
| arvind_khadri | !usb | ldiamond | 05:56 |
| fluidd | arvind_khadri, one sec. | 05:56 |
| ubottu | ldiamond: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:56 |
| opop | LadyNikon, i just got yer nic | 05:56 |
| Jazman___ | well i dont know how to gwt to boot | 05:56 |
| LadyNikon | ebox seems to have less features than webmin :( | 05:56 |
| amirman84 | jazman_: also please don't act like we OWE you something. please. | 05:56 |
| maunykah | if it is woohoo! but I still can't get dvd playback | 05:57 |
| moDumass | hey all, i have 2 CIFS hdds on my network, one is mounted to my desktop but i cant seem to even find the other, any ideas? | 05:57 |
| LadyNikon | opop: :) | 05:57 |
| babolat | ldiamond, hav u made the proper changes in the grub menu? i mean the HD mapping? | 05:57 |
| opop | xim, set up a share first, see if that changes | 05:57 |

| jjt001 | hello | 05:57 |
| jjt001 | quick question | 05:57 |
| amirman84 | maunykah, you might have to reboot.. ? | 05:57 |
| r00tintheb0x | cool Jazman___, good luck with that. | 05:57 |
| jjt001 | in what file and under what directory are ubuntu's printing prefs located? | 05:57 |
| r00tintheb0x | whats up jjt001 | 05:57 |
| Ronald | anyone using kdocker and find its not playing nice with evolution anymore since hardy? | 05:57 |
| babolat | !ask | jjt001 | 05:57 |
| ubottu | jjt001: 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. :-) | 05:57 |
| jburd | Jazman___: Can you explain in more detail about your problem? | 05:57 |
| opop | LadyNikon, was on "on demand" a few months back--stayed up way too late, and dreamed of 28,800bps modems | 05:57 |
| maunykah | alright I will reboot. whatever helps! | 05:57 |
| Jazman___ | i have | 05:58 |
| bazhang | have to step away for a bit | 05:58 |
| jjt001 | r00tintheb0x: hey | 05:58 |
| * Hydrogen fires up the botnet | 05:58 | |
| jjt001 | r00tintheb0x: how are things going? | 05:58 |
| jburd | Jazman___: I'm afraid I couldn't possibly wade through tons of chat text above to find it. Can you please repeat it for my reference? | 05:58 |
| r00tintheb0x | Whats up jjt001, stuffs great. | 05:58 |
| Jazman___ | when i boot the ubuntu shcreen comes up then goes to a dos like pack were i got to put commands in and i have no idea what to do | 05:58 |
| xim | can anyone tell me why compiz.real is using between 60-100% of one of my 2.4ghz processors? "glxinfo|grep direct" says direct rendiering is on | 05:58 |
| amirman84 | jazman_: i've tried to listen to your problem but all you've explained is that you can't boot and something is all buggy | 05:58 |
| jjt001 | nothing much man, just coding | 05:58 |
| dan | hello, channel | 05:58 |
| jjt001 | dan: ello | 05:59 |
| arvind_khadri | dan, hi | 05:59 |
| jburd | Jazman___: Ah, ok. Does it show you some kind of diagnostic message, say an error or warning? | 05:59 |
| bazhang | Jazman___: you may consider wubi | 05:59 |
| opop | ello | 05:59 |
| Jazman___ | no | 05:59 |
| bazhang | !wubi | Jazman___ | 05:59 |
| ubottu | Jazman___: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 05:59 |
| r00tintheb0x | Jazman___, you need to reconfigure your xserver. look up how to get to a failsafe prompt, then issue the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and select your correct hardware. | 05:59 |
| Jazman___ | i did install using wubi | 05:59 |
| DanaG | USB hard drive booting does things differently. | 05:59 |
| jjt001 | anyway, any of you guys know what directory printing prefs are located in | 05:59 |
| dan | i'm considering trying ubuntu on a new system of mine. is there some sort of way to check whether it will support all of my hardware before i download the iso? | 05:59 |
| DanaG | BIOS may change drive order. | 05:59 |
| keith | Jazman___: It's a matter of preference | 05:59 |
| opop | jazman--reboot and try "safe mode", or diagnostics mode--you'll then be given a choice to fix your X configuration. It will walk you through some questions. Try answering those, and come back. | 06:00 |
| dan | i.e. a list of supported hardware somewhere | 06:00 |
| * Hydrogen notes again that the author of `bum` should be shot | 06:00 | |
| jburd | dan: The best way is to try out the LiveCD (it won't touch your hard disk) | 06:00 |
| bazhang | dan best way is to boot the livecd | 06:00 |
| babolat | !hardware | dan | 06:00 |
| ubottu | dan: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 06:00 |
| dan | ah see | 06:00 |
| Jazman___ | i tried safe made or recovery mode but loaded the drivers then froze | 06:00 |
| opop | Jazman___, when you reboot, you'll see a dialog that says "grub booting in 3 2 1, press esc to enter menu" or some such | 06:00 |
| ldiamond | babolat no I have not, I just launched the install CD and installed it on my usb hard disk. Now I cant boot on either install | 06:00 |
| opop | Jazman___, ok, then when it prompts you for the drivers, just type "vesa" | 06:00 |
| Serval | Yay I fixed it myself ^.^ | 06:00 |
| amirman84 | dan: i used wubi just for that | 06:00 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? | 06:00 |
| dan | thanks everybody and ubottu | 06:01 |
| * dan snickers quietly | 06:01 | |
| opop | Jazman___, then you'll get a basic desktop with no accelleration, but at least you'll have a desktop and we can go from there. | 06:01 |
| amirman84 | !wubi | dan | 06:01 |
| ubottu | dan: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 06:01 |
| babolat | ldiamond: so problem fixed? | 06:01 |
| opop | Jazman___, don't try to do whatever accellerated drivers you're currently trying to put in it. | 06:01 |
| opop | Jazman___, just stick with vesa, and see what happens, k? | 06:01 |
| amirman84 | dan: i installed ubuntu inside of windows to see if i could get my hardware working and since it worked great i decided to switch :) | 06:02 |
| dan | oh my. you can install linux on windows now/! | 06:02 |
| carlos | grrr | 06:02 |
| carlos | ubuntu making me mad lol | 06:02 |
| opop | DanaG, any kind of changes change the boot order--it's nuts. | 06:02 |
| ethan96I | topologilinux? | 06:02 |
| babolat | ldiamond: oh.. *cant*... well, boot into the live CD again and reinstall grub | 06:02 |
| amirman84 | jburd: if you use the liveCD can you really install drivers and all that? | 06:02 |
| ldiamond | babolat nop | 06:02 |
| pete_ | hoy there everyone | 06:02 |
| DanaG | I leave grub on internal, and chain to the USB if I must. | 06:03 |
| sofiankr1 | hey everyone | 06:03 |
| ldiamond | Ill tell you exactly what I'm trying to do | 06:03 |
| sofiankr1 | I want to format a partition as ntfs, how can I do this? | 06:03 |
| babolat | ldiamond: do u know how to reinstall grub ;) | 06:03 |
| pete_ | Anyone had problems playing dvds in hardy, with ubuntu-restricted extras installed? | 06:03 |
| DanaG | Oh, and beware if you install on a USB hard drive on somebody else's computer -- when I did that, it trampled on the internal drive's MBR. | 06:03 |
| arvind_khadri | pete_, sofiankr1 hi | 06:03 |
| opop | dan, i had the toughest time trying to figure out why Vista wouldn't see its own bootloader after boot. it was all about the boot order that I'd fragged up trying to work with MS customer support on installing SP1 | 06:03 |
| TheFearsomeFufu | I'm having a hell of a time getting my wireless card working in Hardy. It worked perfectly in Gusty. Now, whenever I do anything with the wlan0 interface, I get the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". The card is a RaLink RT2600. Any ideas? | 06:03 |
| keith | Does anyone know what happened to the Shared Folders in Hardy? | 06:03 |
| virtuald | someone with an unmodified /etc/nsswitch.conf please do /exec -o grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf | 06:03 |
| Jazman___ | i will see how i go because i do prefare ubuntu over winders | 06:03 |
| ldiamond | babolat, can I pm you? | 06:03 |
| === robert__ is now known as cwraig | ||
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, use mkfs | 06:03 |
| opop | \dan\danag | 06:03 |
| Netham45 | does an alternate CD require internet? | 06:03 |
| r00tintheb0x | Netham45, yes | 06:03 |
| Netham45 | ok | 06:03 |
| Jazman___ | thanks for youe help i will try again got to sparge my brew | 06:03 |
| babolat | ldiamond: go ahead | 06:03 |
| DanaG | You can actually now chain Grub from "BCD" -- look up easybcd. | 06:03 |
| sofiankr1 | arvind_khadri: from the command line? | 06:04 |
| DanaG | It'll actually make it so you don't have to worry about Vista trampling on Grub. | 06:04 |
| opop | keith, it's in each folder's properties. i did notice a lot of that configgy stuff is gone--where's the dialog to change my video driver? gone | 06:04 |
| Netham45 | wubi chains it automatically. | 06:04 |
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, yeah | 06:04 |
| opop | DanaG, i noticed that, it was great | 06:04 |
| dan | thanks everyone, live cd it is | 06:04 |
| sofiankr1 | arvind_khadri: I tried gparted, but formatting as ntfs was greyed out | 06:04 |
| dan | well, live *pendrive* | 06:04 |
| roxahris | how do I install RAR support | 06:04 |
| DanaG | Yeah, but wubi means you can't boot Linux if NTFS was unsafely unmounted. | 06:04 |
| DanaG | Or rather, not unmounted before disconnect. | 06:04 |
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, which ubuntu?? | 06:04 |
| sofiankr1 | arvind_khadri: hardy | 06:04 |
| opop | looks like jazzy rebooted | 06:04 |
| Netham45 | DanaG, you just need to add force to the fstab. | 06:04 |
| r00tintheb0x | roxahris, install the unrar and rar packages | 06:05 |
| xim | is there a gui way to configure samba? | 06:05 |
| keith | opop: Are you referring to Screens and Graphics? | 06:05 |
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, ok just a min | 06:05 |
| DanaG | I use a partition, and I added a second mount RO. | 06:05 |
| opop | keith, yeah, i think | 06:05 |
| opop | keith, sounds familiar. did they move it? | 06:05 |
| DanaG | NTFS-3G really needs an "errors=remount-ro" equivalent. | 06:05 |
| babolat | ldiamond: where the heck hav u gone :) | 06:05 |
| keith | opop: That was moved to Applications->Other | 06:05 |
| DanaG | Can't write? Oops, I won't let you read, either! | 06:05 |
| Netham45 | DanaG, if you supply it with a force option, it ignores that. | 06:05 |
| DanaG | ... and all my music is randomly gone. | 06:05 |
| amirman84 | danaG, doesn't wubi use the windows boot loader? | 06:06 |
| ldiamond | ? | 06:06 |
| cdubya | !ps | 06:06 |
| DanaG | "Force" implies "unsafe" to me. | 06:06 |
| ubottu | Factoid ps not found | 06:06 |
| opop | keith, i'm not seeing it | 06:06 |
| cdubya | bah | 06:06 |
| babolat | roxaharis: from synaptic package manager | 06:06 |
| ldiamond | Ive been msging you lol | 06:06 |
| Netham45 | wubi does use the windows bootloader | 06:06 |
| cdubya | !postscript | 06:06 |
| ubottu | Factoid postscript not found | 06:06 |
| cdubya | bah | 06:06 |
| DanaG | !ps | 06:06 |

| Ronald | anyone using kdocker and find its not playing nice with evolution anymore since hardy? | 06:06 |
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, you want to format it as NTFS?? | 06:06 |
| sofiankr1 | DanaG: hah! Don't worry, I force mount my ntfs partition on a daily basis | 06:06 |
| r00tintheb0x | Just looked wubi up, I don't know whether to think good or bad about it. | 06:06 |
| amirman84 | why would the windows bootloader lock you out of an NTFS drive if you did a cold shutdown? | 06:06 |
| keith | opop: look in System->Preferences->Main Menu, it might be hidden | 06:06 |
| opop | DanaG, why not install it on a vfat partition | 06:06 |
| Netham45 | amirman84, it's the ubuntu that loads after you select it in the bootloader | 06:07 |
| sofiankr1 | DanaG: until I screwed up the ntfs partition... | 06:07 |
| Netham45 | it refuses to mount it. | 06:07 |
| DanaG | I installed Linux on a native partition, anyway. I actually use Hardy as my primary OS. | 06:07 |
| sofiankr1 | arvind_khadri: yes | 06:07 |
| opop | keith, i'll be durned. thanks. | 06:07 |
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, ok | 06:07 |
| ariox | Hey, does anyone know which channel I can visit for questions about anthropology? | 06:07 |
| DanaG | And I use suspend-to-RAM, though resuming only works, oh, 2/3 of the time.\ | 06:07 |
| keith | opop: Why it is there, I haven't the foggiest... | 06:07 |
| amirman84 | netham45: ahhhh, ok | 06:07 |
| vgambit | I installed ubuntu from within windows, but I don't know how to access my windows files while in ubuntu | 06:08 |
| ldiamond | babolat, I sent you private messages | 06:08 |

| sofiankr1 | arvind_khadri: no, but, I haven't the faintest idea how to use it | 06:08 |
| Netham45 | DanaG, Windows has to mount a dirty partition in much of the same way Mount does if it's dirty, too... | 06:08 |
| Netham45 | well, I think it does, heh. | 06:08 |
| r00tintheb0x | futonrevolution, what do you need? | 06:09 |
| sofiankr1 | arvind_khadri: gparted always seemed to work... | 06:09 |
| Netham45 | fairly sure. | 06:09 |
| Netham45 | gparted works 99% of the time for me, but I have had it trash the partition table before. | 06:09 |
| futonrevolution | r00t: go to pocky.homelinux.com and tell me what you get | 06:09 |
| r00tintheb0x | sofiankr1, and arvind_khadri ... fdisk works great too | 06:09 |
| arvind_khadri | sofiankr1, very easy sudo cfdisk /drvie/where/your/ntfs/is/peresnt | 06:09 |
| r00tintheb0x | oh, for NTFS? | 06:09 |
| r00tintheb0x | My bad. | 06:09 |
| keith | opop: I think some of that is influenced by Debian... not sure to what extent though | 06:09 |

| opop | jj2k, that's what i was saying--it's not in the stable repositories, and he's trying to do something else | 06:25 |
| moDumass | hey all, im having real issues accessing a file on my nas | 06:26 |
| jj2k | opop you missed my point tho | 06:26 |
| opop | jj2k, i have pulse, i have wine, everything is fine. | 06:26 |
| david_-_- | jj2k: and opop ok done now what? | 06:26 |
| amirman84 | maunykah, yeah, but you can mount it just by clickin on it through your menu | 06:26 |
| keith | ravi: yeah... but is there any official help in here? | 06:26 |
| ravi | keith: taking this to off-topic | 06:26 |
| jj2k | david_-_-: try and reboot | 06:26 |
| opop | jj2k, can't he just kill pulseaudio? | 06:26 |
| moDumass | i can access /DISK 1/public and all of its contents, through the mount, but i cant access just /DISK 1/ any ideas? | 06:26 |
| david_-_- | jj2k: ok if it does nothing wrong i will brb | 06:26 |
| jj2k | no! | 06:26 |
| === test__ is now known as Wrathtide | ||
| opop | jj2k (now i'm just being contrary) | 06:26 |
| opop | jj2k, what was your point? | 06:27 |
| maunykah | yea it's mounted already..darnit..well back to the drawing board for me! | 06:27 |
| ManBlue | the screen just stayed off on my laptop after I turned it on | 06:27 |
| jj2k | ugh opop please read the bug | 06:27 |
| amirman84 | vincenzofehring: it depends if its the drivers or the config settings or what that's messing up. maybe someone has a suggestion for how you can set all of ubuntu's settings back to default before you swap the drive so there's less of a chance of a crazy conflict | 06:27 |
| Gnea | moDumass: access permissions on the nas-side aren't allowing it? | 06:27 |
| * LabThug just got back from Iron Man | 06:27 | |
| vincenzofehring | that would be awesome! | 06:27 |
| LabThug | anyone in here ever used dmraid? | 06:27 |
| ManBlue | ubuntu froze on me | 06:28 |
| jj2k | i gtg , please help david , i think its PA thats the issue | 06:28 |
| jj2k | bye | 06:28 |
| opop | i did. my point and your point don't contradict each other. they're just two different foci. my point was, he shouldn't compile 0.9.61 from source and ask fro help here | 06:28 |
| moDumass | Gnea, the random thing is that ive set my login to have full read write | 06:28 |
| vincenzofehring | the ubuntu defaults would then do a hardware check on the new "home"? | 06:28 |
| LabThug | or an NVIDIA RAID 5 controller (MCP) | 06:28 |
| moDumass | its just mashed | 06:28 |
| ManBlue | I couldn't restart so I cut it off | 06:28 |
| Gnea | moDumass: for the root directory? | 06:28 |
| opop | jj2k, take care! | 06:28 |
| jj2k | david_-_-: sound? | 06:29 |
| desneedy | where should I install third party softwares like mldonkey etc? And how can i determine the location for installation? Please help. | 06:29 |
| moDumass | Gnea yeh, well, thats what im trying to set | 06:29 |
| Starnestommy | desneedy: probably /usr/local | 06:29 |

| david_-_- | opop: and jj2k how do i add wine to the apps | 06:30 |
| moDumass | and im trying change the mount point to the root dir, not the public dir inside the root dir | 06:30 |
| ManBlue | my laptop went into a comma, help please | 06:30 |
| desneedy | And during the process of installation, how can i make sure the software is put in /usr/local or /opt ? | 06:30 |
| tonyyarusso | bullgard4: What are you trying to accomplish? | 06:30 |
| opop | jj2k, just got pwned on my issue | 06:30 |

| jj2k | bye | 06:30 |
| fraroco | i mean spy!! | 06:30 |
| moDumass | Gnea because someone on the network ftp`d some stuff to the root dir and i cant access it | 06:30 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: how did they get in? | 06:30 |
| drivetrax | bullgard4, http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_01.html | 06:31 |
| opop | fraroco: http://www.zapatopi.net/afdb | 06:31 |
| Gnea | moDumass: i do believe it's done that way by design. is the ftp server running in ubuntu? | 06:31 |
| david_-_- | jj2k: i will whne he gets on | 06:31 |
| amirman84 | vincenzofehring: it looks like that solution won't cut it, sorry :( it doesnt restore hardware settings :( i failed! | 06:31 |
| opop | meh | 06:31 |
| moDumass | Gnea no i dont seem to be able to get the ftp server working | 06:31 |
| ManBlue | what can make ubuntu crash? | 06:31 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, I was chating on the window of messenger in AMSN. when somebody with my nick stars to chat in the same window. | 06:32 |
| vincenzofehring | amirman84: You have been a great help anyway! Don't put yourself down! | 06:32 |
| moDumass | Gnea i have 1 200 gig dir mounted from the NAS but its a windows share so that the windows machines can use it | 06:32 |
| Kaemon12433 | people | 06:32 |
| Kaemon12433 | question | 06:32 |
| Kaemon12433 | k here gos | 06:32 |
| moDumass | Gnea i just installed another hdd and im trying access that space | 06:32 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: are you sure that that was't you? | 06:32 |
| Kaemon12433 | i'm trying to copy some files from windows into a linux shared folder | 06:32 |
| david_-_- | jj2k: how do i add wine browse to my apps? | 06:32 |
| Kaemon12433 | but it wont let me | 06:32 |
| tonyyarusso | bullgard4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filetype could be a start | 06:33 |
| Starnestommy | *wasn't | 06:33 |
| Gnea | moDumass: what ftp daemon are you using? | 06:33 |
| moDumass | Gnea and then realised theres a whole lot of stuff in the root dir that i cant use | 06:33 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: you need to give more detail than "it won't let you" | 06:33 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, I am sure I do not have double personality... ... | 06:33 |
| amirman84 | vincenzofehring: thanks, i hope that there is a way to restore all those settings | 06:33 |
| Kaemon12433 | well it says access denied or something like that | 06:33 |
| drivetrax | Kaemon12433, -- from windows ntfs, to linux ntfs? | 06:33 |
| vincenzofehring | i hope so too! | 06:33 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: it could be a security vulnerability in AMSN | 06:33 |
| Kaemon12433 | wait umm | 06:33 |
| Kaemon12433 | no | 06:33 |
| Adantan_Alex | hi | 06:33 |
| opop | holy crap, wired works so much better than wireless.... | 06:33 |
| Kaemon12433 | windows ntfs to linux ...umm | 06:33 |
| Kaemon12433 | darn i forgot linux partition | 06:33 |
| drivetrax | ext3 | 06:33 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: did you check the permissions on the shared folder? | 06:33 |
| Kaemon12433 | yea | 06:34 |
| opop | i forgot the difference it could make. | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | wait | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | no | 06:34 |
| Adantan_Alex | how do i install a program using terminal? | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | darn | 06:34 |
| ManBlue | the screen wont come on | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | lemme do that | 06:34 |
| FloodBot1 | Kaemon12433: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:34 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, I thougth some like that. But how can I know it? | 06:34 |
| drivetrax | Kaemon12433, do you have sudo rights to do this? | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | Yes i do | 06:34 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: it's no problem. happens to all of us | 06:34 |
| Gnea | moDumass: proftpd will allow you to specify certain permission parameters for specific directory locations, so you could make /DISK 1/Public/ show up as the / when the user logs in via ftp | 06:34 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: does the same thing happen if you run AMSN again and do similar things happen to anything else? | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | i jus changed all permission to read and write | 06:34 |
| Kaemon12433 | will that help? | 06:34 |
| moDumass | Gnea im not really sure which i am using, the one that came default with the NAS | 06:35 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: If it is a shared folder inside a secure network, I would just make it acessable to those who have accounts on the server | 06:35 |
| drivetrax | Kaemon12433, go to windows and try from cmd.. to see.. the place you want to PUT the file into.. | 06:35 |
| mysticdarkhack | ok, fix mozilla-mplayer problem | 06:35 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: yeah that will work, but it is over kill | 06:35 |
| moDumass | Gnea also - i may answer stupidly here, not really sure what you eman | 06:35 |
| Kaemon12433 | i can already view the linux files | 06:35 |
| moDumass | mean | 06:35 |
| Adantan_Alex | how do i install a program using terminal? | 06:35 |
| Kaemon12433 | even i can view th elinux filesystem from windows | 06:35 |
| Kaemon12433 | i jus cant copy stuff into it | 06:35 |
| desneedy | it's said third party software packages should be installed in /usr/local, but how can one make that happen during the process of installation? Please help. You know in windows, we choose a installation path in a gui. what's the equivalent howto in linux? | 06:35 |
| Starnestommy | Adantan_Alex: sudo apt-get install program-name | 06:35 |
| Adantan_Alex | thanks buddy | 06:36 |
| Gnea | moDumass: ok, i'll modify my original question then, since I may have misunderstood what you meant: does your NAS have its own IP address? | 06:36 |
| mysticdarkhack | anyone know how to use firefox to open xchat irc and when clicking on an irc link to connect? | 06:36 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: did you get the ext3fs plugin for windows? That is what I used to use when I used windows | 06:36 |
| === llin-ubuntu_ is now known as llin-ubuntu | ||
| drivetrax | Kaemon12433, - Amazing | 06:36 |
| Kaemon12433 | why amazing? | 06:36 |
| Starnestommy | desneedy: are you compiling something from source? | 06:36 |
| Kaemon12433 | i dont even know what a ext3fs plugin is | 06:37 |
| Kaemon12433 | i'm a nooob to this stuff | 06:37 |
| desneedy | Starnestommy: yeah. | 06:37 |
| Kaemon12433 | sry | 06:37 |
| pabs3 | how do I request a sync from Debian? | 06:37 |
| drivetrax | Kaemon12433, I just installed Ubuntu, and my XP soes not recognize the new drive I put it onto | 06:37 |
| moDumass | Gnea, it does | 06:37 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 06:37 |
| Kaemon12433 | oh | 06:37 |
| Kaemon12433 | k | 06:37 |
| Starnestommy | desneedy: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install | 06:37 |
| moDumass | Gnea, i set the mount point through fstab | 06:37 |
| amirman84 | don't be sorry for being a n00b kaemon12433 | 06:37 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, I have just experienced once. But I do not want to experience it again | 06:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | dont worry | 06:38 |
| Viddy | Running hardy, i'm getting sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied when trying to run sudo. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=70863 This thread pretty much covers the same sort of issues, but resolving by reinstalling isn't something I'm about to do. No entries in /var/log/auth.log about it, and a bunch of process won't start up on boot, like hal, gdm, and networking | 06:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | i'll learn soon | 06:38 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, It was not funny... | 06:38 |
| Viddy | thoughts? | 06:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | thanks bigdaddy | 06:38 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: try using something other than AMSN | 06:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | but this does'nt help my prob | 06:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | this is a network thing | 06:38 |
| Kaemon12433 | not dual boot | 06:38 |
| Gnea | moDumass: okay, so the NAS filesystem is now melded with the Ubuntu filesystem via SMBFS/CIFS. Good. What IP are users using to ftp to the NAS? the NAS IP or the Ubuntu IP? | 06:38 |
| FloodBot1 | Kaemon12433: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:38 |
| desneedy | thank you. | 06:38 |
| pabs3 | Viddy: sounds like seriously messed-up permissions | 06:38 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: the trick is to not go running back to windows at the first sign of trouble. It took me years to get pissed off enough at MS to leave them completely. but i did | 06:38 |
| moDumass | gnea the nas ip | 06:39 |
| Viddy | yeah | 06:39 |
| snowfall | is there a way to find out which processes are writing data to disk? i can see that something's writing to my disk at 28kb/s and i'd liek to find out what it is | 06:39 |
| Kaemon12433 | k | 06:39 |
| Viddy | pabs3: the odd thing is if i su as another user on my box, and try sudo, it works | 06:39 |
| moDumass | gnea but i dont ftp anymore, one of the hdds int he nas is mounted to my desktop in ubuntu | 06:39 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, I am using Mercury ... I think It is better than amsn, I lost the curiosity for this 2 years ago but I've back | 06:39 |
| Kaemon12433 | brb will try to fix this problem! | 06:39 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: I am sorry, I thought you said you coulf NOT see linux shares in windows | 06:40 |
| Viddy | can bring up interfaces manually, with ifconfig | 06:40 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: are you using a router? | 06:40 |
| Viddy | x doesn't start, obviously :) | 06:40 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: or any other type of firewall? | 06:40 |
| Gnea | moDumass: but someone else is, so therefore you now have 2 choices as to how you want the setup to occur: you can either have them ftp directly into the NAS (probably a bad idea :) ) or they can ftp into the Ubuntu and access the NAS via SMBFS/CIFS transparently. | 06:40 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, yeah I think something about. But I am new user of routers. | 06:41 |
| cmw72 | can anybody tell me why ubuntu 8.04 won't let me do anything that requires sudo? i've verified the root password, and i'm typing it correctly. | 06:41 |
| Viddy | i've only installed normal packages from the repositories. | 06:41 |
| drivetrax | BigDaddy, I am not sure, but I do not think my extra drive -which is all Linux partitions, is even recognized by my C:\ drive | 06:41 |
| Starnestommy | cmw72: are you using your user's login password? | 06:41 |
| Adantan_Alex | hmmmm | 06:41 |
| Adantan_Alex | i see | 06:41 |
| Gnea | cmw72: sudo requires your user password, not the root password | 06:41 |
| cmw72 | they are the same password | 06:41 |
| gramm | i get an invalid syntax error when i try to install music-applet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9689/ | 06:41 |
| Gnea | cmw72: you are fired. | 06:41 |
| tonyyarusso | cmw72: no, they are not. There is no root password. | 06:41 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: if you're behind a router or another type of firewall, that should stop a lot of breakins | 06:42 |
| cmw72 | there is if you log into terminal mode and do passwd | 06:42 |
| cmw72 | as root | 06:42 |
| cmw72 | failsafe | 06:42 |
| BigDaddy | drivetrax: do you man your linux partitions are not recognized by Windows? You C:\ is just a partition as well | 06:42 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, Idid not understand tou | 06:42 |
| xomp | how much can be changed with UCK? I'm thinking of using it as I don't need 99.99% of the bloat in ubuntu :P | 06:42 |
| Trel | I'm having a problem. If I use the nvidia-glx-new (or manually install any newer one from the repos) I get blank TTYs. If I use nvidia-glx, I can use my TTYs but then if I choose logout, I get a blank screen unless I restart GDM or KDM. | 06:42 |
| Kaemon12433 | HAH | 06:42 |
| ManBlue | can some one please help me? | 06:42 |
| Kaemon12433 | it works now! | 06:42 |
| Starnestommy | ManBlue: with what? | 06:42 |
| Adantan_Alex | manblue: with? | 06:42 |
| moDumass | gnea, the person who ftp,d was a friend and just put his crap in the root dir, so im trying move it, but i cant connect via ftp | 06:42 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: it was the permissions wasn't it? | 06:43 |
| Kaemon12433 | YEP | 06:43 |
| Kaemon12433 | it sure was! | 06:43 |
| Gnea | cmw72: i fail to see your logic. you should just type sudo <command>, then enter your user password. that's it, root password has nothing to do with that. | 06:43 |
| Kaemon12433 | thanks bigdaddy | 06:43 |
| solrize | anyone know what rsync command to use to mirror a ubuntu archive? | 06:43 |
| drivetrax | BigDaddy, uh.. I got a ubuntu 7.10 on a 200gb drive.. I can see localdisk c:\ but not the drive gutsy is on | 06:43 |
| ManBlue | my screen wont come on Starnestommy | 06:43 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: the router should help keep you safe from people hacking into your computer. Firewalls will do the same thing | 06:43 |
| moDumass | but cifs is the way id like to go, 1 to move the crap from /disk1/ into /disk 1/public/ and also to mount /disk 2/public/ | 06:43 |
| Adantan_Alex | ok | 06:43 |
| Starnestommy | ManBlue: do any of the lights on it light up? | 06:43 |
| holyguyver_ | I am on Gutsey & my microphone doesn't work for some reason, now obviously it is not the physical microphone (have tried old one & bought a new one) so it must by my mics card, I made sure my mic is not muted & is up load. I am running a 1998 Gateway. Any help? | 06:43 |
| BigDaddy | Kaemon12433: np, but like I said, unless you have a very secure network you need to make sure that not everyone has full read write access to that share | 06:43 |
| Gnea | moDumass: can you access the share permissions via the NAS web interface for the root directory? | 06:44 |
| === Trel is now known as Ketrel | ||
| Kaemon12433 | k | 06:44 |
| fraroco | Starnestommy, You mean I do not need another firewall? | 06:44 |
| ManBlue | yes, ubuntu froze on me and controlALTDelete didn't work so I hit the off button | 06:44 |
| Starnestommy | fraroco: more firewalls tends to make things safer, but a router is usually enough | 06:44 |

| holyguyver_ | Why does ubottu currently have two t's? | 06:51 |

| PeterFA | Starnestommy, then how is +ExecCGI going to help? Would that not also cause it to execute via CGI? | 06:53 |

| Starnestommy | holyguyver_: I don't know. | 06:53 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 06:53 |
| BigDaddy | drivetrax: that sounds normal to me. I guess I am failing to see the problem here. What do you want to be able to see? IF you want to see the partition that you installed Ubuntu on, just open Nautilus and folder up until you hit / | 06:54 |
| PeterFA | lartza_, there is a way to refer to a specific one like the 100th ago. | 06:54 |
| javaTN | i didnt see ubotu send me a message | 06:54 |
| Adantan_Alex | drivetrax: ok what u were suppose to do was take the size u want for ubuntu from C:/ then go back | 06:54 |
| javaTN | there is so much scrolling text in this chat | 06:54 |

| Saint`Dia | Anyone have a Acer Aspire laptop in here with integrated webcam that has it fully fuctional in ubuntu? | 06:57 |

| lymeca| | I've installed hardy on a MacBook and it's just plain SLOW and kind of buggy. | 06:59 |
| javaTN | well, its a mac... they suck ;) | 07:00 |
| javaTN | jk jk jk! | 07:00 |
| lymeca| | Like the open file dialogue on OpenOffice.org takes 20 seconds to load up | 07:00 |
| Gnea | drivetrax: that's true, but it doesn't apply to this situation - thanks tho :) | 07:00 |
| Gary_inNYC | If I were to change my videocard from an fx5200 to a newer nvidia card, what preparations would i have to make in Hardy? | 07:00 |
| lymeca| | Gary_inNYC: Get an ATI-brand card. That'll be a real upgrade. | 07:00 |
| ldiamond | I'm trying to make a USB hard drive that would contain Linux, Win, Dos, etc. I need a bootloader that would support all of these on a single hard drive, and that would work on any computer. Is syslinux a good choice? What should I use? | 07:01 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: none, just make sure the correct nvidia driver is up to date when it gets installed | 07:01 |
| Gary_inNYC | lymeca|: but i heard really bad stories about ati drivers | 07:01 |
| cmw72 | hmmm ... where is the option to add addition applications in 8.04 ? It's not under the "Applications" menu. | 07:01 |
| cmw72 | or any of it's submenus | 07:01 |
| lymeca| | Gary_inNYC: Yes but AMD opened the hardware specifications so completely Freely licensed full 3-D drivers included in the Linux kernel are on their way. | 07:01 |
| drivetrax | ldiamond, SuperGrub can make the bootloader for all those | 07:01 |
| BigDaddy | cmw72: There is Add/Remove in the main menu | 07:01 |
| GothicD3vil | hi | 07:02 |
| Gnea | lymeca|: Yes, but nvidia has solid 3d drivers currently in place. | 07:02 |
| BigDaddy | cmw72: There is also Synaptic in System -> Admin -> Synaptic | 07:02 |
| ldiamond | drivetrax, will it work on any computer? The problem I saw with grub is that the HD# could be different on different computers | 07:02 |
| ljsoftnet | why does "FloodBot1" and "Mez" have a star badge, who are they? | 07:02 |
| Gnea | lymeca|: plus the nvidia drivers are easier to install and configure in ubuntu than the ATI ones are. | 07:02 |
| Gary_inNYC | Gnea: would i have to uninstall the nvidia driver i currently use, then change the card, then let hardy pick the driver for me afterwards? | 07:02 |
| ferfactor | hi..... i want to install compiz in hardy. how i can install it in the terminal? | 07:03 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: that depends which driver you're currently using - is it legacy? | 07:03 |
| cmw72 | maybe i need to log out and back in again ... since i didn't have admin rights when i first logged on | 07:03 |
| maunykah | when a progrom or plugin is greyed out in the adept installer, does that mean that it's installed already? | 07:03 |
| GothicD3vil | can somebody explain me two things, first which one is better ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 Hardy, Second why everytime i download ubuntu 8.04 and i check the cd i have a checksum error? | 07:03 |
| cmw72 | because i don't have any of those options | 07:03 |
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: compiz is installed by default | 07:03 |
| drivetrax | ldiamond, from linux.. you tell grub to install onto that HD (USB) , then go install Dos5.5, and WinXP.. | 07:03 |
| Gary_inNYC | Gnea: it's the nvidia-glx-new type for my FX5200 card | 07:03 |
| BigDaddy | cmw72: you just need to enter in your password when it asks for it | 07:04 |
| drivetrax | ldiamond, I think XP will need to go first, tho | 07:04 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: oh, you're fine then. it will plug and play with no problem. | 07:04 |
| ferfactor | BigDaddy thanks i'll check it | 07:04 |

| danfg | what are the alternatives to cron? are they worth installing? | 07:04 |
| ldiamond | drivetrax, but what about the hard drive number? | 07:04 |
| javaTN | ok i actually ran the force command... and now it jus says: "thomas@thomas-ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/External/ -o force | 07:04 |

| === jms1989_1ompaq is now known as jms1989_compaq | ||
| GothicD3vil | can somebody explain me two things, first which one is better ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 Hardy, Second why everytime i download ubuntu 8.04 and i check the cd i have a checksum error? | 07:05 |
| BigDaddy | cmw72: http://www.simplehelp.net/images/syna/synaptic01a.jpg | 07:05 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: nope! nvidia-glx-new is exactly that: it supports all of the NEWest nvidia cards. you might want to double check the current support list on their website compared to the actual version number that's installed just to be safe. | 07:05 |
| drivetrax | ldiamond, it is USB.. | 07:05 |
| ldiamond | so its always HD4? | 07:06 |
| Gary_inNYC | that's great. thx for the info | 07:06 |
| BigDaddy | dan: Ubuntu is based on Debian. The difference is that Ubunutu has added a ton of little touches to make our lives easier | 07:06 |
| tonyyarusso | GothicD3vil: 8.04 is the latest supported version. Which step of checking the CD is the error occurring at? (the downloaded file, the burned CD) | 07:06 |
| GothicD3vil | burned cd | 07:06 |
| ArticWolf | I have installed Xbuntu 8.04 2 times and a screensaver keeps working, is there a screen saver other than the desktop settings one? and how do i stop it??? | 07:06 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: if you type this in a terminal window: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia-glx | awk '{print $3}' it will tell you what version you have installed | 07:06 |
| psmith | How do I get a real tek HD audio chipsety working | 07:06 |
| tonyyarusso | dan: Also, Ubuntu usually has more up to date versions of software due to the different release schedules. | 07:07 |
| tonyyarusso | GothicD3vil: so you're booting and choosing the "verify integrity" option? | 07:07 |
| PeterFA | I have apache2 and apache2-libphp5 (or the correct name) installed but Apache2 doesn't parse PHP files. | 07:07 |
| PeterFA | I don't see what's wrong. | 07:07 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: like 1.0.9166 | 07:07 |
| GothicD3vil | i verify the download like they said on the page but when i burned the cd they have an error | 07:07 |
| PeterFA | I found a howto but all it says is install those two and restart the server. | 07:07 |
| tonyyarusso | GothicD3vil: try burning at a slower speed. | 07:07 |
| cmw72 | BigDaddy: that's interesting ... i have different menu items | 07:07 |
| GothicD3vil | tonyyarusso yeap i verify and they said checksum error | 07:07 |
| Bodsda | GothicD3vil: try burning at a lower speed | 07:07 |

| tonyyarusso | ale1: I haven't personally, but am considering it as a recommendation for someone else based on what I've heard. Probably either one of the Dells or System76. | 07:09 |
| GothicD3vil | tonyyarusso i verify the download with MD5 Sums | 07:09 |

| tonyyarusso | GothicD3vil: bad burner? | 07:10 |

| fraroco | BigDaddy, jajajajaja | 07:11 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, - the full 160 will be seen by Linux, but.. it also reserves space for the first sector (zero) and it depends on HOW you format the drive.. as to how much of the 160gb you get | 07:11 |
| BHSPitLappy | jeremy7, is there a configure script | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | oops | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690/ | 07:12 |
| Gnea | !paste jeremy7 | 07:12 |
| ubottu | Factoid paste jeremy7 not found | 07:12 |
| fraroco | BigDaddy, ok. I do not have sound in firefox when I wanna see videos os youtube or something like this | 07:12 |
| Gnea | !paste | jeremy7 | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | well I'm a newbie to Ubuntu | 07:12 |
| ubottu | jeremy7: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 07:12 |
| Ketrel | In OpenOffice.org Calc, if I have a list of values in a column and I want to say permantly perform a mathmatical operation on all of them, how would I do that? | 07:12 |
| GothicD3vil | tonyyarusso which one you have desktop edition (the one i'm having problems) or server? | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | I have it goin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690/ | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | It's basically got a makefile.in | 07:12 |
| tonyyarusso | GothicD3vil: I've used both. | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | I'm a newb to Ubuntu though. | 07:12 |
| GothicD3vil | and which one is better? | 07:12 |
| Gnea | Gary_inNYC: sounds good, good luck | 07:12 |
| BigDaddy | fraroco: did you have sound before and lost it? If this a clean installation? Which version of Firefox are you using? Which version of Ubuntu? | 07:12 |
| jeremy7 | BHSPit: mind if I privmsg you? | 07:13 |
| Gary_inNYC | gnite thanks for the info | 07:13 |
| jms1989_compaq | drivetrax: I would like to format it so it wont reserve 5% of the drive to root when formatted as ext3. | 07:13 |
| BHSPitLappy | Ketrel, same as in excel... You go to another cell and type =Average(F9:F15)+E6 or something like that | 07:13 |
| philsdutchie | Pls help. If I change colums in programs (like guncash and gramps), the change is not saved after reboot (permission problem after restoring?) | 07:13 |
| ferfactor | it's the same package to hardy (ubuntu-restricted-extras)??? | 07:13 |
| ArticWolf | I have a problem, I have installed Xbuntu 8.04 ... 2 times and a screensaver keeps working, is there a screen saver other than the desktop settings one? and how do i stop it??? | 07:13 |
| cmw72 | BigDaddy: logging out and back in seemed to do the trick. Looks like if you don't have admin rights at the start of your session, it doesnt create those menu items. | 07:13 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, uh.. don't know mang.. ask more | 07:13 |
| BHSPitLappy | jeremy7, I really must be off to bed | 07:13 |
| === cognatus is now known as sfogagbj | ||
| jeremy7 | ah ok | 07:13 |
| jeremy7 | thanks anyway.. | 07:14 |
| BigDaddy | cmw72: are you the only user on that PC? | 07:14 |
| fraroco | BigDaddy, Ubuntu 8.04 Firefox 3 beta 5 and I have sound before I installed Java | 07:14 |
| ne0 | hello when I try installing wacom drivers using these instructions something always goes wrong | 07:14 |
| Jak08 | i don't recall, how do you bring up the settings for nautilis? | 07:14 |
| ne0 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=708726&page=3 | 07:14 |
| ne0 | what else can I do | 07:14 |
| tonyyarusso | jeremy7: Frankly, I'm not all that confident that it's possible, judging from the fact that nobody seems to have backported it already... The dependencies are probably very interesting. | 07:14 |
| GothicD3vil | tonyyarusso which one is better? | 07:14 |
| === sfogagbj is now known as cognatus | ||
| BHSPitLappy | jeremy7, as general advice if you're new to compiling, try ./configure until it works with no errors, then make , then sudo make install | 07:14 |
| jms1989_compaq | drivetrax: Ask more what? | 07:14 |
| tonyyarusso | GothicD3vil: Uh, that would depend on whether you plan to run a desktop or a server....... | 07:14 |
| BigDaddy | fraroco: you installed Java and now have lost sound? What about flash? Do you have GNash or Adobe flash? | 07:14 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, well.. grub parts/formats.. what others will.. (That Linx can read) | 07:15 |
| fraroco | adobe flash ... I have sound in the music player but not in browser | 07:15 |
| cmw72 | should I install the Nvidia binary x.org driver ? I have a GT8800 | 07:15 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, -- and, I think the mbr has to be there | 07:15 |
| moDumass | Gnea, sorted, i mounted the root dir from the nas in nas200/root/ and the 2 other hdds in their respective dirs also | 07:15 |
| jms1989_compaq | Only ubuntu will need to use it to download torrents. It will be used as a slave drive. | 07:16 |
| Gnea | moDumass: awesome. did you get proftpd to work yet? | 07:16 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, then a data drive | 07:16 |
| moDumass | Gnea, didnt need to, i dont know why he ftp`d it anyway | 07:16 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, -- ok, just do not check (Bootable) | 07:16 |
| ferfactor | i'm starting with ubuntu hardy i have a doubt in gusty i install ubuntu-restricted-extras, my quiestion is, Is the same package to hardy??? | 07:16 |
| Jak08 | i don't recall, how do you bring up the settings for nautilis? | 07:16 |
| ne0 | hmm | 07:17 |
| jms1989_compaq | drivetrax: Ok, How would I reduce the amount of reserved space? | 07:17 |
| Gnea | moDumass: lol | 07:17 |
| BigDaddy | fraroco quit? Right in the middle of a troubleshoot? WTH? | 07:17 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: I don't understand your question. You have a doubt about Gutsy? What's wrong with Gutsy? | 07:18 |
| drivetrax | jms1989_compaq, might be able to manually tell it to allot x bytes.. I would suggest reading about exactly how much | 07:18 |
| Ketrel | BHSPitLappy: That's not what I want to do, that's a formula. I said I want to permanantly change the contents of those cells that already exist. | 07:18 |
| ferfactor | BigDaddy: my question is..... Is necesary instal ubuntu-restricted-extras???? | 07:19 |
| ferfactor | in Hardy man | 07:19 |
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: necessary? no. But it sure does make life in Ubuntu more enjoyable. | 07:19 |
| Ashfire908 | I'm making a raw backup on a disc using dd. the disc is damaged, is there a way to get dd to keep retrying until it finishes? | 07:19 |
| BHSPitLappy | Ketrel, a formula is permanent; it's permanently correct, despite changes to the participating cells :) | 07:19 |
| BHSPitLappy | Ketrel, I'm not sure exactly what you mean to do | 07:20 |
| phr | hi, i just installed hardy from the cd, i'm an experienced linux user but have never used ubuntu on my own machine before. is there a "full boat" type of installer available, i.e. one that preinstalls all the standard unix/linux stuff so i don't have to apt-get this and that all the time? | 07:20 |
| drivetrax | BHSPitLappy, trying to make a column formula permanent? locking the cells? | 07:20 |
| ferfactor | BigDaddy: thanks a lot i'll install, in gusty i installed that packages but mi doubt was that is the same package to hardy :P | 07:20 |
| bullgard4 | drivetrax: Thank you that you have pointed me to man file. Having it re-read, I consider now man file as the primary source to answer my question. From the recent version number 4.21 and date 8 January 2008 one can conclude that it is not a trivial matter. Unfortunately man file is written in a narrative and polemic style. So I refrained from it in the past. | 07:20 |
| drivetrax | yep | 07:21 |
| drivetrax | I noticed it was | 07:21 |
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: I don't know if it is the exact same package. But it does the same things. | 07:21 |
| ferfactor | BigDaddy: thanks man :P | 07:21 |
| BHSPitLappy | Ketrel, your question would probably be better addressed in #openoffice.org , since this channel is more generalized | 07:21 |
| ne0 | BigDaddy, do you know how to install wacom drivers? | 07:21 |
| Gnea | Ashfire908: tried testdisk? | 07:21 |
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: np | 07:21 |
| Ketrel | BHSPitLappy: I have a set of cells, say with the data, 4, 8, 4, 2, 6 I want to change those cells to contain half of their original value. I have no need for it how it is and I want to basically replace those cells with 2, 4, 2, 1, 3. | 07:22 |
| billy12 | ne one of a cool linux file manger | 07:22 |
| BigDaddy | ne0: is that a tablet laptop thing? Shoot, I am just going to go ahead and say no. | 07:22 |
| jms1989_compaq | drivetrex: Thanks for the help. | 07:22 |
| BHSPitLappy | Ah. I don't know the answer. Like I said, you have a better shot in the openoffice channel. | 07:22 |
| Ashfire908 | Gnea, sorry, this is a dvd. | 07:23 |
| ne0 | well it has something to do with the way you configure xorg | 07:23 |
| ne0 | you think you know how to config it?? | 07:23 |
| Ashfire908 | forgot to define disk | 07:23 |
| Dr_willis | billy12, theres literally dozens of file managers out for linux. It all depends on what you want' learning to use 'mc' is a good idea. Its a very handy folemanater. | 07:23 |
| Gnea | Ashfire908: ouch............ lots of scratches or is it missing some film? | 07:24 |
| jjv | hey how can i add apache 1.3 to my synaptic package manager ? | 07:24 |
| jjv | it only comes with 2.0 | 07:24 |
| BigDaddy | ne0: I wouldn't have the slightest idea how. I could google it, but without one here to tinker with I couldn't do anything | 07:25 |
| cognatus | is an Intel Core 2 Duo == i386? | 07:25 |
| Ashfire908 | Gnea, scraches... | 07:25 |
| ne0 | o | 07:25 |
| phr | cognatus you can use x86-64 for ethe core 2 | 07:25 |
| ne0 | man | 07:25 |
| crdlb | cognatus: you can use i386 or amd64 | 07:25 |
| Dr_willis | i386 will work dor that also. | 07:26 |
| Gnea | Ashfire908: have you been able to clean the surface really god? | 07:26 |
| ne0 | this sucks i wanna config this but cant do it right | 07:26 |
| phr | i386 will work but will give you 32 bit mode | 07:26 |
| Gnea | Ashfire908: er, good? | 07:26 |
| phr | hmm i found the dvd iso but it's downloading rather slow, are there faster mirrors for it? | 07:26 |
| billy12 | Dr_willis, im looking for more a of "cool" one, lots of bell's and whistles | 07:26 |
| Gnea | phr: probably | 07:26 |
| bullgard4 | phr: There have been DVDs trying to accomplish what you want. But there is no universally accepted canon on that. The Ubuntu CDs are a least common denominator. | 07:26 |
| jjv | anybody know? | 07:26 |
| cognatus | okay, and it IS the case that 64b mode is better? i.e., unlike windows? | 07:26 |
| BHSPitLappy | phr, the bittorrents usually move rapidly | 07:26 |
| Dr_willis | billy12, why bother. :) search the package manager for filemanager, and start trying them out. I perfer the 2 pane tyope file managers | 07:26 |
| Gnea | cognatus: yes. | 07:27 |
| phr | i think i want to just mirror the archive | 07:27 |
| Dr_willis | cognatus, in most cases normal users dont need 64bit stuff.. | 07:27 |
| crdlb | cognatus: it's marginally faster unless you're doing lots of floating point calculations (in which case, ti's much faster) | 07:27 |
| billy12 | Dr_willis, ill take a look | 07:27 |
| phr | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ is where i'm trying to dl from, maybe i'll try the jigdo? i don't see a torrent there. | 07:27 |
| crdlb | cognatus: and you have to deal with slightly less compatibility (there's still no 64bit flash, but there are workarounds) | 07:27 |
| BigDaddy | ne0: what have you done so far? | 07:27 |
| Ashfire908 | Gnea, it's.... clean... | 07:28 |
| phr | hmm, also this appears to be a daily build, not a release | 07:28 |
| ferfactor | I installed shockwave before install ubuntu-restricted-extras..... now i have a big problem in charge some pages in internet... hoy i can delate shockwave? | 07:28 |
| ne0 | well i had to reboot all over because i did something wrong and my comp get going to login screen everytime i opened evolution and used firefox Find option | 07:28 |
| phr | jigdo is not in the base distro... | 07:28 |
| ne0 | so so far i just installed wireless and sound | 07:29 |
| Gnea | Ashfire908: only other thing i can suggest is make sure that the laser on your dvd reader is clean... otherwise, you're going to have some missing data if it's giving you sector errors | 07:29 |
| Ashfire908 | Gnea, it's getting a bit farther/shorter each try so i think i can just read it by retrying the block over and over... | 07:29 |
| BigDaddy | ne0: did you check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 | 07:29 |
| ne0 | o yea and lightscribe | 07:29 |

| Yossarian | I have installed ubuntu on a dell laptop, it has worked fine for months, still does. Bought a KVM. Windows switches fine, ubuntu will switch key and mouse, but I cannot seem to get the external monitor working. Dell laptop running ubuntu. Any ideal? | 07:30 |
| Yossarian | er, ideas? | 07:30 |
| ne0 | hey do you know if there is a plugin for xchat so i can change color of users or mine when i type | 07:30 |
| Gnea | Yossarian: which KVM? | 07:30 |
| Ashfire908 | Gnea, well i just need dd to keep retrying, know how to do that? | 07:30 |
| Yossarian | I cannot get the external monitor working with - or without - the KVM | 07:30 |
| Gnea | Ashfire908: write a script? not sure how to go about that for that sort of application :/ | 07:31 |
| Yossarian | Gnea: iogear - it is not the issue. I cannot get the 2nd monitor working in linux | 07:31 |
| brent113 | ne0: go to settings, interface, colors | 07:31 |
| HelpNeededHerePl | anyone know what is up with nvidia-glx-new? | 07:31 |
| ne0 | but that doesnt change collor of individual users | 07:31 |
| philsdutchie | Has anyone an idea why changed colums in programs like gramps and gnucash will not be saved (dont show up after reboot) Has this to with some permissions (where to change) | 07:32 |
| Ashfire908 | Does anyone know how to make dd keep retrying bad sectors/bytes? | 07:32 |
| Gnea | Yossarian: it might be. i have an iogear and the only way that it will work right is if i bootup my ubuntu system with the iogear pointed to the ubuntu system from the moment i press the power button. | 07:32 |
| brent113 | you can select to highlight certain users | 07:32 |
| Gnea | Yossarian: once it's up, it works fine. | 07:32 |

| Starnestommy | PeterFA: did you remember to run "sudo a2enmod php5" then restart apache? | 07:33 |
| Yossarian | am running 7.1 - do you think up grade my help? YES the monitor works fine when I boot into windows, can mirror it, or extend to it. Very nicely I might add. | 07:34 |

| Dr_willis | Clusty, its officially released - so i think so. :) | 07:40 |
| jeremy7 | well I did tar and then I went to it and did ./configure | 07:40 |
| jeremy7 | and I got all the libpurple files and what not | 07:41 |
| jeremy7 | and I look in the folder and it has makefile.in | 07:41 |
| phr | !torrents | 07:41 |
| ubottu | Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). | 07:41 |
| Clusty | nickrud: well not totally true. kubuntu site sais CD image is not final | 07:41 |
| Y-Town | qman__: me too amarok rules | 07:41 |
| astro76 | jeremy7: not running Hardy? | 07:41 |
| PeterFA | Starnestommy, I'm still seeing PHP5 files unparsed. | 07:41 |
| nickrud | jeremy7 if you have makefile.in but not makefile, you haven't completed the configure correctly (unless the build is broken) | 07:42 |
| twistedbeatfreek | i need sound card help | 07:42 |
| nickrud | Clusty trust me, not the site on this one ;) | 07:42 |
| nickrud | Clusty argh, kubuntu. Missed that | 07:42 |
| Clusty | :D | 07:42 |
| Clusty | i wanna try kubuntu or xubuntu | 07:42 |
| nickrud | Clusty bait and switch, from first question to next ;) | 07:42 |
| Clusty | gnome is getting on my nerves | 07:43 |
| Qster | had a question, i cant seem to get evdev support working in ezquake was wondering if anyone else had a problem with this? | 07:43 |
| Clusty | slow fat | 07:43 |
| twistedbeatfreek | is there anyone out there | 07:43 |
| twistedbeatfreek | can anyone hear me | 07:43 |
| drivetrax | ah, Pink Floyd | 07:43 |
| Clusty | and doing too many things on its own | 07:43 |
| nickrud | Clusty sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , and you're done | 07:43 |
| twistedbeatfreek | yeah i need soundcard help | 07:43 |
| astro76 | !ask | twistedbeatfreek | 07:43 |
| qman__ | Y-Town, yeah, there's just no other player anywhere near as good, it just fills the niche | 07:43 |
| Clusty | nickrud: done that. somehow kde stopped running. | 07:44 |
| qman__ | I don't care for KDE, but amarok is simply the best player out | 07:44 |
| Clusty | drivetrax: pink floyd: where what? :D | 07:44 |
| nickrud | Clusty then #kubuntu probably has the help you need for kde | 07:44 |
| drivetrax | "is there anybody out there.." | 07:44 |
| Clusty | qman__: tried listen? | 07:44 |
| twistedbeatfreek | astro76 do you know how i setup a sound card i can configure my hardware or anything | 07:44 |
| Jambon | why can't I hear sound on online videos and listen to music at the same time? | 07:44 |
| mark[oz] | Jambon, because you touch yourself at night | 07:45 |
| Benni | hey there | 07:45 |
| astro76 | twistedbeatfreek: no, but the bot was supposed to tell you to go ahead and ask your question to the channel ;) | 07:45 |
| drivetrax | oh no | 07:45 |
| qman__ | Clusty, no, I haven't, I'll look into it | 07:45 |
| Clusty | listen/banshee | 07:45 |
| ferfactor | how i can delate shockwave to firefox??? | 07:45 |
| Jambon | marko-_-: well naturally, but besides that | 07:45 |
| Clusty | and there was one more | 07:45 |
| ferfactor | please answer me | 07:45 |
| twistedbeatfreek | astro76 im hella newb on ubuntu pls help are the commands i type or something | 07:45 |
| Benni | does anyone have an idea why package ca-certificates (to be installed through updates) can not be authenticated? | 07:46 |
| bizkit_ | why is it when i copy ofver data from my external drive the system bogs down really bad? | 07:46 |
| twistedbeatfreek | i need to setup my audio card its bluegears b-enspirer where do i go and how do i install it | 07:47 |
| heythisisdave | how do I tell if I'm running x86 64 or x86 32 | 07:47 |
| nickrud | Benni authentication is done at the repo level, do you have a third party source set up somewhere? | 07:47 |
| ferfactor | BigDaddy: do you know haw uninstall shockwave from firefox??? | 07:47 |
| astro76 | heythisisdave: uname -a | 07:47 |
| Gnea | heythisisdave: uname -m | 07:47 |
| heythisisdave | it says i686 | 07:47 |
| jrib | ferfactor: shockwave isn't even available for linux. Can you provide more details as to what you are doing? | 07:47 |
| phr | ok i'm downloading the dvd iso by bittorrent and it's arriving faster than the standard download | 07:47 |
| Benni | nickrud good point -- I'll disable the 3rd party sources and retry | 07:47 |
| astro76 | Gnea: nice one | 07:47 |
| astro76 | heythisisdave: that's 32bit | 07:48 |
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: I would assume that it would be done in the add-ons section. | 07:48 |
| Gnea | astro76: cheers | 07:48 |
| Gnea | heythisisdave: probably 32 then | 07:48 |
| Gnea | er | 07:48 |
| BigDaddy | ferfactor: Tools -> add-ons | 07:48 |
| heythisisdave | ok - I have a xeon l5335 or something | 07:48 |
| Gnea | astro76: right back atcha ;) | 07:48 |
| heythisisdave | but I guess they're completely backwards compat with x86 32 | 07:48 |
| sriramoman | i tried modifying the /etc/profile file, but it executes only when i login thru bash or any command line. for a similar use, where can i place my scripts so that they get executed even while logging in thru X system(Gnome/kde)? | 07:48 |
| drivetrax | jrib, --- uh.. want to see FlashPlayer_9 for Linux? | 07:48 |
| ferfactor | BigDaddy: thanks i'll wheck it... | 07:48 |
| jrib | drivetrax: flashplayer is not shockwave | 07:48 |
| astro76 | heythisisdave: it is, I'm still running 32 bit on core 2 duo | 07:48 |
| Gnea | heythisisdave: yes, you can setup a 32-bit compatibility layer once it's installed | 07:48 |
| * Gnea just hands it over to astro76 | 07:49 | |
| Gnea | lol | 07:49 |
| drivetrax | let's see a link for Shockwave support.. took me to FlashPlayer_9 | 07:49 |
| astro76 | Gnea: hey they're good answers, just possibly to the wrong questions ;) | 07:49 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: X, gnome, and kde don't read that file | 07:49 |
| Gnea | :) | 07:49 |
| jrib | drivetrax: hmm? | 07:49 |
| Jambon | would anyone have an idea as to why my radeon mobility 9200 worked in gusty but won't in hardy? | 07:50 |
| brent113 | drivetrax: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ | 07:50 |
| drivetrax | http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash | 07:50 |
| brent113 | drivetrax, you can clearly see there is no shockwave for linux | 07:50 |
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, so where can i place my scripts for similar purpose, that is, execution at login of any user | 07:50 |
| drivetrax | go there | 07:50 |
| sriramoman | brent113, it is there. add/remove | 07:50 |
| drivetrax | Adobe has a link for Linux | 07:50 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: /etc/rc.local | 07:50 |
| jrib | !shockwave | drivetrax | 07:51 |
| brent113 | Shockwave Player != Flash Player | 07:51 |
| drivetrax | No Kidding | 07:51 |
| ere4si | sriramoman: tried /etc/rc2.d/rc.local? | 07:51 |
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, but will this run each and every time any user logs in thru any method? that is what i wanted. | 07:51 |
| sriramoman | i shall try these | 07:51 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: it runs on startup | 07:51 |
| MakGyver | all, question for the room, PowerPC, PowerMac, why can I install every other distro on my PowerMac, but Ubuntu drops me to an (initramfs) prompt | 07:52 |
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, startup or login? i need LOGIN. thats y | 07:52 |
| MakGyver | I have googled, forumed, researched, nothing works | 07:52 |
| MakGyver | and it seriously is only Ubuntu | 07:52 |
| sriramoman | MakGyver, the last version which was supported ,and which will never be in future, is ubuntu 6.06 lts | 07:53 |
| MakGyver | sriramoman, why? | 07:53 |
| jrib | !ppc | MakGyver | 07:53 |
| ubottu | MakGyver: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 07:53 |
| thinkingfrog | what does lts stand for? | 07:53 |
| MakGyver | there are ISO downloads for 7.10 | 07:53 |
| Starnestommy | thinkingfrog: Long Term Support | 07:53 |
| thinkingfrog | Starnestommy: thank you | 07:53 |
| sriramoman | MakGyver, its their policy. | 07:53 |
| MakGyver | sriramoman, well that sucks :( | 07:54 |
| MakGyver | guess I am not using Ubuntu then | 07:54 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i uninstall shockwave flash from firefox? | 07:54 |
| MakGyver | whats the next best option to Ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| jrib | MakGyver: there's still a community port (see above) | 07:54 |
| nickrud | ljsoftnet depends on how you installed flash | 07:54 |
| ljsoftnet | i installed it using firefox | 07:54 |
| BigDaddy | Whats with all the people wanting to uninstall shockwave tonight? | 07:55 |
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, ere4si, the locations u said dont serve my purpose. | 07:55 |
| nickrud | ljsoftnet then it should be in ~/.mozilla/plugins, you can delete it from there | 07:55 |
| MakGyver | jrib, gettinh 8.04, lets see if this plays nice | 07:56 |
| pf-miles | ? | 07:56 |
| MakGyver | if I instaal 6.06 can I upgrade my updating? | 07:56 |
| MakGyver | my/by | 07:56 |
| drivetrax | BigDaddy, -- I think they are getting shockwave for FFox, and forgetting.. it isn't for linux? | 07:56 |
| ljsoftnet | nickrud how do i go there? | 07:56 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc will work on all X logins | 07:56 |
| drivetrax | mebe.. trying to fix flash_Player_9 | 07:56 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: but not terminal ones | 07:56 |
| sriramoman | ok | 07:56 |
| nikolam | MakGyver, I think you can go directly to 8.04 form 6.06. But only on i386 and amd64. Not ppc and spacr | 07:57 |
| nickrud | ljsoftnet open a file browser, and hit ctl-h , that will show you the hidden files. | 07:57 |
| BigDaddy | shockwave=flash. | 07:57 |
| nikolam | sparc | 07:57 |
| sriramoman | no problem. i can paste the same scripts. i shall try. | 07:57 |
| MakGyver | sriramoman, Debian installs beautifully | 07:57 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ | 07:57 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: er, /etc/X11/Xsession | 07:57 |
| CyberCod | anyone know anything about getting nvidia-glx-new to work? | 07:57 |
| damntourists | Ok, so I just installed 8.04, and I got it to boot up, and install 2 updates.... then I installed one of the restricted drivers for my video card, and when i go to reboot the computer, it just goes to a black screen instead of the logon screen. Any advice anyone? | 07:57 |
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, what is the diff. b/w session, xserverrc, xinitrc? | 07:58 |
| CyberCod | I can't seem to get any other resolutions than 640x480 and 320x240 | 07:58 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, - what video card? | 07:58 |
| === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic | ||
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, ( imean the 3 files u mentioned) | 07:58 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: ah shoot, hold on. I think it's an ATI Radeon x1950, but let me double check | 07:58 |
| drivetrax | eh | 07:58 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: xserverrc is always run when an xserver starts. xinitrc is for when xinit is launched. I think it might be safer ti add scripts to /etc/X11/Xsession.d though | 07:59 |
| jim_beam | where can i download smp 686 kernel | 07:59 |
| sriramoman | MakGyver, the most recent ver. of debian is not newer than ubuntu 6.06 LTS thats y | 07:59 |
| CyberCod | does anyone know if envy works for hardy? I'm at my wits end here | 07:59 |
| sriramoman | ok. | 07:59 |
| MakGyver | sriramoman, ok | 07:59 |
| BigDaddy | drivetrax: my mistake... shockwave is not flash | 07:59 |
| drivetrax | I know | 07:59 |
| astro76 | CyberCod: envyng is in the repository | 07:59 |
| BigDaddy | drivetrax: so where do people need shockwave/ | 07:59 |
| CyberCod | oh yeah? | 07:59 |
| BigDaddy | ? | 07:59 |
| CyberCod | nice | 07:59 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: yeah, ATI Radeon x1950 Pro | 08:00 |
| FrozenFire | Can anyone shed some light on how one might set a static IP under KDE 4 on Hardy? I'm completely lost. | 08:00 |
| sriramoman | Starnestommy, but will it run only once when gdm/xdm is called or it will run each time a user logs in, even repeatedly, thru X in a session before rebooting? what i need is the repeated type. | 08:00 |
| jim_beam | is there am ftp site for ubuntu | 08:00 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, go to ATI site, and find what cards the 8.4 driver supports | 08:00 |
| Starnestommy | sriramoman: each time an X server is started | 08:01 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: ok, hold on. | 08:01 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, --- wait | 08:01 |
| sriramoman | ok | 08:01 |
| ljsoftnet | nickrud there is no ~/.mozilla/plugins folder i found | 08:01 |
| phr | ubuntu comes with firefox 3.0 beta, should i downgrade? i can't install prefbar in the beta and i might die without it ;) | 08:01 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: what's up | 08:01 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, ----- some ppl with ATI are having difficulty with Restricted drivers enabled | 08:01 |

| phr | astro76 thanks, maybe i'll do that | 08:01 |
| sriramoman | sorry. i pasted something wrong | 08:01 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: any way i can disable it, without having to reinstall ubuntu? | 08:01 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, except you can't get into the desktop | 08:02 |
| sriramoman | jim_beam, ftp://tuma.ui.edu/pub/ | 08:02 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: yeah, but i'm sure i can get to a full screen terminal, no? | 08:02 |
| sriramoman | jim_beam, there u can EVEN DOWNLOAD entire repos for ubuntu incld hardy. | 08:02 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, - now yer on to it | 08:02 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, a round about way.. is xorg.conf.. in /etc | 08:03 |
| drivetrax | uh /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:03 |
| phr | it looks like there's ways to rsync the repos i just haven't figured out how | 08:03 |
| nickrud | ljsoftnet phone brb | 08:03 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: yeah, i know, but how do i get to a full screen terminal? last time i just had to press shift and backspace or something similar | 08:03 |
| ljsoftnet | nickrud ok | 08:03 |
| opop | damntourists, ctrl-alt-f1, f2, f3, etc. | 08:04 |
| damntourists | opop: thanks, i'll give it a shot | 08:04 |
| phr | looks like ui's ubuntu repository directory is empty | 08:04 |
| bandan | did anyone get libpam-encfs to work on hardy? | 08:04 |
| damntourists | opop: nothing | 08:05 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, --- fglrx might not even work.. but the generic system drivers will let you run Compiz | 08:05 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: ok, i just need to find a way to get to the terminal lol | 08:05 |
| damntourists | i'm starting up in recovery mode. my screen is completely black before it gets to the login screen, it must be the restricted drivers (fglrx)... but I'm not sure which setting to chose... resume, root, or xfix | 08:08 |

| Starnestommy | thatsnotjack: your networking adaptor might need acpi to work | 08:20 |
| Starnestommy | wuxia: "RSAAuthentication yes" and "PubkeyAuthentication yes" | 08:20 |
| thatsnotjack | hmm, running apci causes kapcid and kapcid_notify (kernel processes, of course) to run away at 98% cpu combined | 08:21 |

| sriramoman | u cant do that | 08:22 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | i do have 256M | 08:22 |
| benanzo | wuxia: you have a proper $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server right | 08:22 |
| wuxia | benanzo: it's just a copy of id_rsa2.pub | 08:22 |
| astro76 | [DR]TNT_Boom: you could also use the alternate install cd | 08:22 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | without a live cd | 08:22 |
| benanzo | and a matching $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa on the client | 08:22 |

| [DR]TNT_Boom | Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.? | 08:25 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thats the option i need? | 08:25 |
| fdjskaljfdks | ubuntu is the bomb diggity | 08:25 |
| arvind_khadri | [DR]TNT_Boom, yeah | 08:25 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thanks | 08:25 |
| unop | [DR]TNT_Boom, if all you want is to be able to install ubuntu, yes | 08:25 |
| === woodwizzle is now known as MrDowntempo | ||
| [DR]TNT_Boom | yeah thats what i want | 08:26 |
| unop | [DR]TNT_Boom, some people use the live CD as a portable desktop or a rescue system, and the alternate CD does not come as a good replacement | 08:26 |
| astro76 | unop: he's unable to install with livecd due to 256 MB ram | 08:26 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | i have a damn small linux on a usb stick | 08:26 |
| arvind_khadri | unop, he has a low memory system | 08:26 |
| toxguy25 | hi recently upgraded to 8.04 and my RT61 seems to be unstable. | 08:27 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | btw will it run ok with only 256M ? | 08:27 |
| unop | astro76, arvind_khadri you aren't puttting into context what i am saying. | 08:27 |
| thatsnotjack | yeah boom, that should be plenty | 08:27 |
| sriramoman | [DR]TNT_Boom, damn small linux the whole size itsel is 50 mb and ram requirements are even less | 08:27 |
| Jambon | I'm having graphics issues. I have a radeon mobility 9200 which worked with gutsy but doesn't with hardy. Now my top panel won't go all the way to the right edge, and movie player won't show video unless I drag the window past that point. Also, compiz won't work. Any ideas? | 08:27 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | yea but thats only for rescue | 08:27 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | its on a USB stick | 08:27 |
| sriramoman | [DR]TNT_Boom, in that case i have installed alpha-linux in a floppy. | 08:27 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | really? | 08:28 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | lmao. | 08:28 |
| Jinxed- | Hey could I ask a non ubuntu related question | 08:28 |
| sriramoman | Jinxed-, ask | 08:28 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | Jinxed- | 08:28 |
| ubottu | Jinxed-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:28 |
| unop | Jinxed-, it probably ought to be asked in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux. | 08:28 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, do you have the drivers | 08:28 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | btw the alternet CD has the option to find the ISO and load it? | 08:29 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: which ones. ati's don't work with this card | 08:29 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, use envy | 08:29 |
| Jinxed- | I need to pick out a mp3 player for my girlfriends 21st birthday and I can't decide.... top contenders: 16gb refurb ipod touch, refurb/new ipod nano, sansa e280. | 08:29 |
| wuxia | is id_rsa.keystore private or public? | 08:30 |
| wuxia | how do I disable passowrd login for ssh? (I only want to allow ssh key) | 08:30 |
| unop | Jinxed-, that is well offtopic :) #ubuntu-offtopic please :) | 08:30 |
| Jinxed- | ok unop | 08:30 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, sudo apt-get install envy-gtk | 08:31 |
| MrDowntempo | I installed the openssh server on hardy, and it doesn't appear to be working. I ran netstat -listen and it shows ssh but using tcp6. I didn't sign on for ipv6, what the hell, and how do I turn it back to IPv4 ot 5 or whatever | 08:32 |
| werther | speaking of mp3 player, i still can't mount any USB drive or mp3 player in hardy | 08:32 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | how much swap par` is good enough? | 08:32 |
| sjoerd | MrDowntempo: on linux, if you listen on ipv6, you listen on ipv4 too by default | 08:32 |
| arvind_khadri | [DR]TNT_Boom, twice the size of ram | 08:32 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thanks | 08:32 |
| krazty | question: im running hardy 32bit, can i install hardy 64amd and get thesame settigns like an upgrade or do i need to reinstall in a different partition? thanks | 08:32 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thats means 500 for me | 08:33 |
| chazco | Hi... i'd like to downgrade from Hardy to Gusty... i have a separate /home. What is the best way to do this? | 08:33 |
| MrDowntempo | sjoerd: oh ok, well for some other reason then its not working | 08:33 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | but bigger is better isnt it =) | 08:33 |
| astro76 | krazty: you'll need to reinstall | 08:33 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: so after I install them? | 08:33 |
| krazty | thanks astro | 08:33 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, open envy from the Application menu under the system tools download your driver and it works :) | 08:34 |
| astro76 | chazco: reinstall | 08:34 |
| astro76 | chazco: you can choose not to format /home | 08:34 |
| opop | nite | 08:34 |
| chazco | astro76 - So just format the other partitions and install over it? Anything in /home going to conflict? | 08:34 |
| ne0 | why does my music skip a lot | 08:35 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: ah, thought it was in preferences or something. Thanks. | 08:35 |
| ne0 | it didnt do this in windows... | 08:35 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, :) no | 08:35 |
| astro76 | chazco: it's possible... you'll probably be fine | 08:35 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: oh | 08:35 |
| Steffylicious | hi. would somebody be able to help me out? i'm dualbooting hardy and windows XP, but xp won't load, it says "error 22. No such partition" when i try to boot xp. i can link my grub files if needed. | 08:35 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: my card isn't supported by the legacy driver it says | 08:35 |
| ompaul | HI ALL - I am about to remove a lot of bans | 08:35 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, ok which card | 08:35 |
| ompaul | THERE will be some serious scrolling for a moment or two - please bear with us | 08:36 |
| Jambon | ati mobility 9200 | 08:36 |
| mevsthevoices | mkdir ~/.azureus;cd ~/.azureus;wget http://cache2.vuze.com/files/Azureus_3_0_linux.tar.bz2;tar xvjf ~/*;~/.azureus/azureus/azureus | 08:37 |
| ompaul | that is it finished | 08:37 |
| ompaul | cheers | 08:37 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | wtf was that...? | 08:37 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: ati mobility 9200 | 08:37 |
| ompaul | [DR]TNT_Boom, we ban people - mostly we do let them back at some time | 08:38 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | ompaul is spamming the CH | 08:38 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | =) | 08:38 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | why would you ban someone? | 08:38 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, just a min | 08:38 |
| ompaul | for being offtopic abusive or very annoying | 08:38 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | ppl come to ask for help and getting annoying? why | 08:38 |
| mevsthevoices | mkdir ~/.azureus; cd ~/.azureus;wget http://cache2.vuze.com/files/Azureus_3_0_linux.tar.bz2; tar xvjf ~/*; ~/.azureus/azureus/azureus | 08:38 |
| ompaul | [DR]TNT_Boom, the bot sent you a message - that is some of it | 08:39 |
| MrDowntempo | Jambon, I have that same card on a laptop. Its a bitch and a half. I have yet to get 3D support for it working. It was working way back in the day though, breezy I think? | 08:39 |
| dylan_ | hi, all. im trying to switch from kubuntu to ubuntu (e.g. install ubuntu-desktop then, from gnome, purge kubuntu-desktop so i dont have a zillion apps), and im trying to upgrade to 8.04. which order would be better, dist-upgrade first or kubu->ubu switch first? | 08:39 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | oh | 08:39 |
| unop | [DR]TNT_Boom, they start using foul language, getting personal, spamming the channel, etc | 08:39 |
| astro76 | dylan_: remove kubuntu first so you have less to download and upgrade | 08:39 |
| Jambon | MrDowntempo: it worked on gutsy | 08:39 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thats sucks | 08:39 |
| astro76 | !puregnome | dylan_ | 08:39 |
| ubottu | dylan_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 08:39 |
| Jambon | MrDowntempo: well, kinda. | 08:40 |
| MrDowntempo | Jambon: Well it works but not with 3d accel? | 08:40 |
| unop | dylan_, remove all the packages you don't want, and then attempt the upgrade -- otherwise your upgrade will take much longer. | 08:40 |
| drivetrax | dylan_, 7.10 will Upgrade to 8.04 | 08:40 |
| Jambon | um, well it could do the fancy compiz stuff but not video acceleration | 08:40 |
| Jambon | still had to boot into windows for that | 08:40 |
| Jambon | ok | 08:40 |
| Jambon | envy installed something | 08:41 |
| Jambon | I'm going to check if it worked | 08:41 |
| MrDowntempo | you can run vesa if you have to, "radeon" should give you full resolution, I couldn't get 3d accel even in gutsy though | 08:41 |
| Jambon | thanks again arvind_khadri | 08:41 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, after the install restart X and see | 08:41 |
| ArthurArchnix | If I encrypt a file using Hardy, which now has built in encryption support via seahorse and nautilus I presume, and i send that encrypted file to a friend, how can they decrypt it? What program do they need, in addition to the password I mean. | 08:41 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | radeon is supported under ubuntu? | 08:41 |
| MrDowntempo | mobility radeon 9200 can actually mean multiple chips, we may have different hardware | 08:41 |
| dylan_ | ty unop. ty all, though everyone else told me things i already knew :) | 08:41 |
| dylan_ | have a good night/morning/afternoon | 08:42 |
| unop | dylan_, and purging kubuntu-desktop has little effect on the system, you need to remove all the KDE/QT packages manually | 08:42 |
| dylan_ | unop: understood, thank you | 08:42 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: they need GnuPG, aka gpg | 08:42 |
| maxwell888 | I have been running Ubuntu for a few releases now. Only have one reoccuring problem. Occasionally my mouse will just freeze. I can use the keyboard and everything stays active just my mouse freezes and I have to reboot in order to get it working again. Is there anyway to restart the mouse from terminal? | 08:42 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | mouse driver is wrong? oO | 08:43 |
| biabia | I have 64 bit xp pro installed on a machine that i'd like to dual boot with ubuntu. can someone point me to a really good guide for my first time trying to set up dual boot ? | 08:43 |
| drivetrax | has mouse freeze & Keyboard freeze.. so Must reboot.. at times | 08:43 |
| astro76 | !dualboot | biabia | 08:44 |
| ubottu | biabia: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 08:44 |
| drivetrax | biabia, find out about unetbootin | 08:44 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: I'm on the website now. That's what I was looking for. Thanks. | 08:44 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | why ppl needs dual boot? | 08:44 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | its stupid | 08:44 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | choose what you wanna have and use it | 08:44 |
| unop | ArthurArchnix, the best way to do this is to use gpg with your mail client .. what you essentially do is encrypt the file using the other person's public key, the only person in the world then able to decrypt the file is that person, using his private key ... but this requires he use pgp/gpg too | 08:44 |
| arvind_khadri | [DR]TNT_Boom, what if they have Windows and Ubuntu | 08:44 |
| drivetrax | there are windows apps.. and there are linux apps.. | 08:44 |
| bazhang | [DR]TNT_Boom: some people need it for work | 08:45 |
| unop | ArthurArchnix, another way is to use something like openssl to encrypt the file using a passphrase, but the other person needs to have openssl installed too | 08:45 |
| biabia | its like having a snowmobile and a 4 wheeler | 08:45 |
| drivetrax | eh | 08:45 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | Hmmmm thats could be true. | 08:45 |
| bazhang | but this is getting offtopic | 08:45 |
| biabia | sometimes the conditions are better for one than the other | 08:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | unop, well, when I right-click on the file and choose encrypt... how is that different from openssl | 08:45 |
| kane77 | what is a good photo management tool? I was using f-spot but it cannot handle duplicates :( | 08:46 |
| maxwell888 | TNT_Boom what do you mean wrong mouse driver? | 08:46 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | which is a good graphic IRC client for linux? | 08:46 |
| bazhang | is eog still around? | 08:46 |
| unop | ArthurArchnix, i'm not really sure what that does, i don't use gnome .. i'd imagine it used openssl, but i can't be sure | 08:46 |
| arvind_khadri | xchat [DR]TNT_Boom | 08:46 |
| bazhang | !info eog | 08:46 |
| ubottu | eog: Eye of GNOME graphics viewer program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 1111 kB, installed size 5976 kB | 08:46 |
| kane77 | [DR]TNT_Boom, xchat | 08:46 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | im just guessing maxwell888 | 08:46 |
| juice_ | so im back. i tried adding to my xorg.conf but it didnt save due permissions. here: http://pastebin.ca/1005777. my monitor is a neovo f-15. i have a nvidia 5500. ubuntu 8.04. pm me due ultra tiny resolution :) | 08:46 |
| wabkia | im trying to set up a file server, however when i try to edit my fstab it just opens in the terminal, and if i try to open it in the file browser i cant save | 08:46 |
| unop | ArthurArchnix, are you prompted for a password/passphrase when you choose that option? | 08:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | unop: ok | 08:46 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | xchat | 08:47 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thanks alto | 08:47 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | alot* | 08:47 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | i should get some stuff on my usb =) | 08:47 |
| astro76 | wabkia: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 08:47 |
| biabia | astro76 and drivetrax thanks! | 08:47 |
| wabkia | thanks astro | 08:47 |
| drivetrax | sure | 08:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | unop: Hmm... no I'm prompted for a recipient, but the list is empty. | 08:47 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, worked?? | 08:48 |
| Jambon | ok. as is usual, I've made things a lot worse | 08:48 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: you'll need to add their public keys to your keyring I guess | 08:48 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, resolution got screwed?? | 08:48 |
| wabkia | woah astro, it says Error Cannot find a safe socket path in /tmp aborting.... | 08:48 |
| wabkia | etf | 08:48 |
| Jambon | now it won't recognize my monitor so I can't up the resolution | 08:48 |
| unop | ArthurArchnix, hrrm, not sure then, you need to get someone who knows gnome to help you out there. | 08:48 |
| orehon | anyone running GG-Client (Garena) under ubuntu with wine? | 08:48 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: ya basically | 08:48 |
| damntourists | ok, so my video card isn't working, so i booted up into recovery mode and im in a full screen terminal. how would one go back to the default driver, instead of the restricted driver, "fglrx" that i installed? i'm looking through my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file right now, and it says under the Device section, Driver "fglrx" | 08:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: unop Clearly I need to look into this more. | 08:49 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, did you have restricted drivers | 08:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | unop: astro76 thanks though | 08:49 |
| drivetrax | Jambon, --- go to /etc/X11 and find xorg.conf and pastebin.ca | 08:49 |
| unop | ArthurArchnix, maybe the documentation on gnome.org helps? | 08:49 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: x kinda did the whole "please pick the driver because the one you picked doesn't work" thing | 08:49 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: it takes a bit to wrap your head around it ;) | 08:49 |
| hoss_ | wifi | 08:49 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, if you had restricted drivers first remove them and re-install using envy | 08:50 |
| drivetrax | Jambon, that an ATI card? | 08:50 |
| arvind_khadri | drivetrax, yeah ati mobility 9200 | 08:50 |
| bazhang | hoss you have a wifi issue | 08:50 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: but Seahorse makes it pretty simple if you want to avoid learning gpg command line... still need the concepts though | 08:50 |
| drivetrax | 4 ppl in hours.. back to back | 08:50 |
| arvind_khadri | drivetrax, same card ?? | 08:51 |
| drivetrax | ati | 08:51 |
| drivetrax | drivers | 08:51 |
| damntourists | how does one reverse the effects of restricted video card drivers through the terminal? i can't get to my login screen since i installed the restricted drivers | 08:51 |
| wabkia | Astro76: When try that command it says "** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' | 08:51 |
| wabkia | aborting.." | 08:51 |
| crdlb | arvind_khadri: Jambon: the proprietary ATI driver will _not_ work on that card | 08:51 |
| crdlb | you must use the open source "ati" driver | 08:51 |
| timandtom | How do I install a .tar.gz from terminal? Always use Synaptic, never needed to know this yet | 08:51 |
| arvind_khadri | crdlb, oh ok how do we get that?? | 08:51 |
| drivetrax | Hey crdlb | 08:51 |
| bazhang | timandtom: what package | 08:51 |
| crdlb | arvind_khadri: it's what's used by default | 08:52 |
| Jambon | crdlb: I know ati's won't work. I was just trying envy. It seemed to try the fgrlix or whatever ones | 08:52 |
| arvind_khadri | crdlb, seems it wasnt working | 08:52 |
| timandtom | bazhang: It's Avast antivirus, it's not in synaptic, so I downloaded it. Tis sitting on my desktop | 08:52 |
| crdlb | Jambon: that _is ATI's driver | 08:52 |
| Jambon | Jambon: oh | 08:52 |
| Jambon | crdlb: oh | 08:52 |
| bazhang | timandtom: hang on a sec | 08:52 |
| arvind_khadri | crdlb, thanks for the info .... | 08:52 |
| werther | hi, anyone know how to get USB drive auto mount on hardy? | 08:53 |
| wabkia | When try that gedit /etc/fstab it says "** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' | 08:53 |
| crdlb | Jambon: bah, the fix was really easy :< | 08:53 |
| arvind_khadri | werther, it gets auto mounted when you plugin | 08:53 |
| dna_ | how do you disable outbound connections using ufw? | 08:53 |
| bazhang | timandtom: this is gutsy or hardy | 08:53 |
| damntourists | so i installed a restricted driver for my ati radeon x1950, and now i can't get to the login screen, any tips? | 08:53 |
| crdlb | Jambon: ubuntu just has a really broad blacklist on compiz which covers your video card, but it's easy to override | 08:53 |
| MrDowntempo | why does my ssh server not work? | 08:53 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Gutzy | 08:53 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Gutsy* | 08:54 |
| Jambon | arvind_khadri: http://pastebin.com/daa57793 | 08:54 |
| MrDowntempo | i installed it and started it | 08:54 |
| MrDowntempo | but I cannot log in from another device | 08:54 |
| mikefizz | hey, i am running an asus motherboard with hardy and i am wondering if there is a program that i can control fanspeed with (to reduce noise when its running cool) | 08:54 |
| Jambon | crdlb: what do you recommend from where I am now? I'm stuck at 800x600 and unable to detect my monitor now | 08:54 |
| damntourists | so i installed a restricted driver for my ati radeon x1950, and now i can't get to the login screen, any tips? | 08:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, gksu displayconfig-gtk | 08:55 |
| bazhang | http://howtoforge.com/virus-protection-with-avast-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon timandtom look here better to install from the deb package than that tar.gz | 08:55 |
| crdlb | Jambon: first thing is to get rid of fglrx | 08:55 |
| crdlb | Jambon: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx | 08:55 |
| arvind_khadri | Jambon, follow the crdlb way he knows better | 08:55 |
| crdlb | Jambon: then in case it left some stuff broken: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-glx | 08:56 |
| MrDowntempo | Jambon, the way I got it to work was to install the fglrx driver. Then modprobe for it so that the module gets loaded, then use radeon in my xorg.conf | 08:56 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, ----- follow along what crdlb is doing, but don't do it.. | 08:56 |
| bazhang | MrDowntempo: crdlb knows better on this | 08:56 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Ah, sweet, thanks. Is it better just because it's simpler, or is there some advantage? Just wondering | 08:56 |
| bazhang | timandtom: all of the above :} | 08:56 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: thanks | 08:56 |
| Jambon | crdlb: E: Couldn't find package libgl1-mesa-gl | 08:57 |
| drivetrax | cuz.. it might help ya | 08:57 |
| crdlb | Jambon: you missed the final x | 08:57 |
| Jambon | crdlb: sorry, misse the last part | 08:57 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Haha :) Ok, thanks. I'll try that. | 08:57 |
| Jambon | crdlb: so after that? | 08:57 |
| wabkia | i even get ** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' | 08:57 |
| wabkia | aborting... when i type in gedit | 08:57 |
| wabkia | ugh | 08:58 |
| MrDowntempo | bazhang: look, this mobility radeon 9200 has caused me many sleepless nights of pain and torture, I'm imparting the fix I know. Also never before have I been told to offer less help so thats a first you can be proud of | 08:58 |
| crdlb | Jambon: just change to the "ati" driver. You can use displayconfig-gtk, or you can edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a text editor | 08:58 |
| unop | wabkia, you could try this although it's not really recommended. sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 08:58 |
| ariqs | is antivirus software recommended for linux? | 08:58 |
| Skitt | ariqs: no | 08:58 |
| wabkia | im already superuser | 08:58 |
| unop | !virus | ariqs | 08:58 |
| ubottu | ariqs: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 08:58 |
| bazhang | MrDowntempo: he knows the cards backwards and forwards | 08:58 |
| wabkia | and i still get the ** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' | 08:59 |
| wabkia | aborting... | 08:59 |
| timandtom | bazhang: Also, if I'm controlling the computer from VNC, it won't affect my ability to do things in terminal, right? Doesn't make sense that it would, but, thought I'd check. | 08:59 |
| wabkia | i dont get it >< | 08:59 |
| unop | wabkia, how did you become superuser? sudo -i ? | 08:59 |
| wabkia | su | 08:59 |
| damntourists | i think i may have fixed it | 08:59 |
| magnetron | timandtom: you are correct | 08:59 |
| bazhang | timandtom: should not no | 08:59 |
| MrDowntempo | bazhang: I'm not doubting anyones uberness. But I too know that chip and thought it would be helpful to mention | 08:59 |
| unop | wabkia, heh, no wonder .. su does not setup the X environment like gksu/gksudo - which is why you get that | 08:59 |
| wabkia | oh | 09:00 |
| unop | wabkia, use nano then. nano /etc/fstab | 09:00 |
| ne0 | i got wacom working yay | 09:00 |
| bazhang | MrDowntempo: this is not about uber; I saw an error in what you were saying and pointed it out. | 09:00 |
| schitzo | yo | 09:00 |
| ne0 | now how do i calibrate it anyone know | 09:00 |
| schitzo | don't know | 09:00 |
| wabkia | omg thx unop :D | 09:00 |
| Jambon | crdlb: um. which one? there seem to be several, and it sticks me with fgrlx again and messes up x when I test it | 09:00 |
| wabkia | oh, ok | 09:01 |
| wabkia | heres a good one | 09:01 |
| wabkia | i cant log in as sudo -i | 09:01 |
| damntourists | oh sweet. my computer works again. haha | 09:01 |
| timandtom | magnetron, bazhang, cool, just checkin :) Tiny little file server for me/friends, not hooked up to a display, so I do everything that can't be done through the server software via VNC on it. | 09:01 |
| MrDowntempo | bazhang: what error? | 09:01 |
| orehon | anyone running GG-Client (Garena) under ubuntu with wine? | 09:01 |
| unop | wabkia, and what happens when you try sudo -i? any errors? | 09:01 |
| bazhang | MrDowntempo: please let it go | 09:01 |
| wabkia | no | 09:01 |
| wabkia | it just tells me my password is wrong =\ | 09:01 |
| crdlb | Jambon: ok, lets do it the manual way; open your xorg.conf with: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:01 |
| wabkia | same then when i try to log in as root | 09:01 |
| bullgard4 | lastlog bullgard4 | 09:01 |
| mikefizz | anybody know a good program for controlling fanspeed/monitoring cpu temp | 09:02 |
| drivetrax | damntourists, - copy xorg.conf - as backup | 09:02 |
| crdlb | note that the X in X11 must be capitalized | 09:02 |
| unop | wabkia, that's a side effect of enabling the root account | 09:02 |
| damntourists | drivetrax: yeah i wish i did that before the restricted drivers | 09:02 |
| MrDowntempo | bazhang: you pointed out no error. If you did maybe It could help my issue with the same chip. | 09:02 |
| wabkia | enabling or not enabling | 09:02 |
| biabia | drivetrax..can you please briefly explain how dual booting differs from UNetbootin ? | 09:02 |
| Jambon | crdlb: got that far | 09:02 |
| unop | wabkia, enabling .. in ubuntu it is not recommended you do that .. | 09:03 |
| unop | !root | wabkia | 09:03 |
| ubottu | wabkia: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:03 |
| crdlb | Jambon: do you see Section "Device" ? | 09:03 |
| Jambon | yup | 09:03 |
| unop | !sudo | wabkia | 09:03 |
| ubottu | wabkia: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 09:03 |
| drivetrax | biabia -- the booting does not differ much.. the steps differ a bit... but, unetbootin does all from the net(internet) to your pc.. | 09:03 |
| wabkia | i dall i did was install >< | 09:03 |
| crdlb | Jambon: so add a line that says Driver "ati" in that section, or change the current one if it already exists | 09:03 |
| unop | wabkia, su wouldn't work normally if that was the case :) | 09:04 |
| wabkia | ok so uh | 09:04 |
| wabkia | all i did was install ubuntu haha. i didnt enable anything =\ | 09:04 |
| Jambon | crdlb: ok. should it recognize my card. it just says "configured video device" under identifier | 09:04 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | login in witha root passwont give you "superuser" abilitis? | 09:04 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | ability | 09:04 |
| biabia | drivetrax: so I would have to be internet connected to use it? | 09:05 |
| unop | wabkia, somewhere along the line you enabled the root account.. for now i suggest you finish what needs to be done as root .. then disable the root account using. passwd -l root | 09:05 |
| crdlb | Jambon: yeah, that's just a label used for matching Device sections with Screen sections | 09:05 |
| bazhang | [DR]TNT_Boom: bad idea to login as root | 09:05 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? | 09:05 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | why? | 09:05 |
| drivetrax | biabia - suppose you have XP.. and some space at the end of the drive.. after the install/and all.. is done, you reboot.. first time, and you see a screen..it asks you which OS you want to use | 09:05 |
| unop | [DR]TNT_Boom, use sudo instead | 09:05 |
| crdlb | Jambon: it doesn't actually have any meaning (but don't change it unless you change it in both places) | 09:05 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | sudo and if i need it every 3 seccs? | 09:05 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | its annoying. | 09:05 |
| Jambon | crdlb: ok. now restart x? | 09:05 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | why is it a bad idea anyway? | 09:05 |
| astro76 | !sudo | [DR]TNT_Boom | 09:06 |
| ubottu | [DR]TNT_Boom: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 09:06 |
| Dr_willis | sudo caches ythe password for a few mins. You dont need to enter the password over and over and over. | 09:06 |
| bazhang | [DR]TNT_Boom: why would you need it so often | 09:06 |
| unop | [DR]TNT_Boom, use. sudo -i to get a root shell | 09:06 |
| unop | [DR]TNT_Boom, or sudo -s | 09:06 |
| crdlb | Jambon: reboot | 09:06 |
| unop | depending on what you want. | 09:06 |
| Jambon | k | 09:06 |
| crdlb | so that it uses the right kernel module | 09:06 |
| Jambon | brb | 09:06 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | thats good enough =) root shell | 09:06 |
| damntourists | what's the default graphics card driver used for 8.04? | 09:06 |
| preetam | . | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | damntourists, depends on what video card you got. | 09:07 |
| unop | damntourists, it depends on the graphics card :) | 09:07 |
| wabkia | ok, one last Q, how do you save in nano | 09:07 |
| ljsoftnet | when i go to System>Preferences>About Me it shows a blank window, how do i fix this? | 09:07 |
| biabia | drivetrax: so I can select any of the supported distributions in UNetbootin? how does it manage the data for the /home folder? | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | wabkia, the ^ in the help at the bottom is saying use 'contrl-WHATEVER' so ctrl-o or ctrl-w or ctrl-h | 09:07 |
| m55 | is there an ubuntu dvd that has the server and desktop versions of ubuntu & kubuntu all on one DVD? | 09:07 |

| Dr_willis | m55, not that i have ever seen | 09:08 |
| drivetrax | biabia, -- well... like any.. you make partitions, and format them, and tell it to make the directories | 09:08 |
| damntourists | unop well i have a ATI Radeon x1950, and it worked fine up until i chose to use the restricted driver | 09:08 |
| zvacet | m55 : you have that on alternate CD | 09:08 |
| [DR]TNT_Boom | how much RAM ubuntu 7.10 needs for the LiveCD? | 09:08 |
| Dr_willis | damntourists, the default failsafe for ati would be the 'ati' driver or the 'vesa' driver | 09:08 |
| damntourists | ok, let me try using that | 09:08 |
| biabia | drivetrax: thanks! | 09:09 |
| bazhang | [DR]TNT_Boom: how much ram you ogt | 09:09 |

| damntourists | well it looks like mine was set to vesa, and it wasnt showing up with that, i edited my xorg.conf to ati, lets see if that works... | 09:11 |
| Vov4ik | MU server uses MSSQL | 09:11 |

| Matic`Makovec | I remember having a nice program on Gutsy which ran .bin file (mounted it actually) by itself. Now I upgraded to Hardy and seems this is lost. Would anyone know the name of the program? | 09:12 |
| Assargadon | I know one, but it is proprietary - you should pay money for it | 09:12 |
| Vov4ik | what? | 09:12 |
| Dr_willis | damntourists, ati driver wont have full 3d support. and will be slower then fglrx most likely | 09:13 |

| bullgard4 | [Hardy] My Tracker produces 23 'file-index-tmp' files. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635. Is this normal or an error? | 09:23 |
| crdlb | drivetrax: you want to switch back to the radeon driver? | 09:23 |
| zvacet | Matic`Makovec : sorry | 09:23 |
| jeremy7 | Hi.. got an error installing PORK IM CLIENT on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS... I am getting this error.. to anyone who can help resolve this error I will paypal you $50... error paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9701/ | 09:23 |
| tag | So a long time ago, the gnome clock used to show my appointments from evolution in it. I upgraded gnome some time back (when I upgraded from fiesty to gutsy IIRC, or maybe the one before that) and the appointments disappeared. | 09:23 |
| tag | I've been hoping that'd be fixed eventually, but it's not. Does anyone know how I might go about reconfiguring my environment so this feature returns? :-) | 09:23 |
| kane77 | I want to create md5 sums for all files within directory I was trying to do something like md5sum `find` but this gives me problems because some of the files contain space in their name so md5sum treats them as two files which gives error.. how do I make it right? | 09:23 |
| drivetrax | crdlb, well, I was used to the windows catalyst, but no.. I do not need to switch back.. Just remove the dead menu item | 09:23 |
| crdlb | Jambon: I have no idea what that problem is then. Have you tried moving it to the left side of the screen, then back to the top? | 09:24 |
| DrinkBeer | tag it might be an evolution setting since evo is tied to gnome | 09:24 |
| DrinkBeer | the update might have overwrote the files | 09:24 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: yeah I've dug around forever and never found it. | 09:24 |
| drivetrax | Jambon, right click that panel | 09:24 |
| timandtom | What's the /home/USERNAME/.thumbnails/normal folder for? Also, is there a way to make it STOP storing thumbnails for everything ever in there? Aside from the obvious paranoia and not wanting traces of everything, it slows Avast ;P | 09:24 |
| crdlb | drivetrax: oh, just use the menu editor then? | 09:24 |
| drivetrax | Jambon, size it | 09:24 |
| DrinkBeer | if you updated they very well might still be there, but blank | 09:24 |
| MrDowntempo | crdlb: Yeah, prolly not since I hadn't had 3d accel working since way back in breezy or dapper days. | 09:24 |
| drivetrax | crdlb, I can't find out how to remove it | 09:24 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: it seems to be something deeper. I've also dug around gconf -- but never found them | 09:24 |
| DrinkBeer | like updateing windows and not backing up your system32 folder | 09:24 |
| Jambon | crdlb: yup. moving it over and creating a new one doesn't work either, as the new one won't stretch across either | 09:24 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: I'd assume this would be a user level thing, but I'm unsure. | 09:24 |
| algyz | Hi, I have 3 keyboard layputs, I made switching option alt+shift, but after restart this switching option is not working, only when I'm removing 2 additional layouts, and then adding them, it is beginning to work, why it could be? | 09:25 |
| tag | actually | 09:25 |
| DrinkBeer | i doubt it tag, i think it is one of those reasons why NO software should be tied to an OS | 09:25 |
| tag | I'm highly confident this would be user level | 09:25 |
| crdlb | Jambon: try killing the gnome-panel process so that it respawns | 09:25 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: gnome is not tied to the OS. | 09:25 |
| DrinkBeer | i know | 09:25 |
| crdlb | drivetrax: use alacarte | 09:25 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: and evolution is not tied to the for that matter, either. | 09:25 |
| drivetrax | k | 09:25 |
| DrinkBeer | but evolution is tied to gnome, if you rock linux with gnome gui u are tied to it in a daisy chain fashion so to speak | 09:25 |
| DrinkBeer | actually in ubuntu they are close knit for some reason | 09:26 |
| Jambon | crdlb: nope. same thing | 09:26 |
| ljsoftnet | when i go to System>Preferences>About Me it shows a blank window, how do i fix this? | 09:26 |
| DrinkBeer | like outlook and explorer | 09:26 |
| DrinkBeer | atleast that is everything i have read and experiencend | 09:26 |
| DrinkBeer | sorry for the speeling 1 beer to many | 09:26 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: that's just configuration -- and it's all user level. | 09:27 |
| crdlb | Jambon: it is set to stretch mode? | 09:27 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: it's just, there is a big user-level template that gets added. | 09:27 |
| DrinkBeer | it can be user level to upgrade u r root | 09:27 |
| Jambon | crdlb: yup | 09:27 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] My Tracker produces 23 'file-index-tmp' files. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635. Is this normal or an error? | 09:27 |
| crdlb | "expand" as the panel calls it | 09:27 |
| Jambon | yup | 09:27 |
| tag | I'm fairly certain if i create a new user it iwll work as desired. | 09:27 |
| DrinkBeer | i dunno, i am a little lost right now lol....sorry but that is all i can think of. i had that prob and said fuck it i am using sunbird | 09:27 |
| Assargadon | Is there any "easy" way to make internet sharing in Dapper Drake? | 09:27 |
| tag | DrinkBeer: sunbird doesn't work with exchange | 09:28 |
| DrinkBeer | i know | 09:28 |
| Assargadon | I use Firestarter in 7.04 | 09:28 |
| crdlb | Jambon: well, I'm stumped; I do know how to fix compiz though :> | 09:28 |
| DrinkBeer | i dont use exchange so that is prob where i got lost | 09:28 |
| Assargadon | but there are no Firestarter in 6.06 | 09:28 |
| Tigerken | hi | 09:28 |
| Dr_willis | Assargadon, if i recall the 'ip-masquerading howto' it proberly is a simple case of setting a few variables/loading a few iptables rules, and away it goes' | 09:28 |
| legend2440 | ljsoftnet: in terminal run gnome-about-me . any error msgs? | 09:28 |
| Jambon | crdlb: that will work. | 09:28 |
| Jambon | crdlb: the only thing the panel was doing was limit the maximization size of windows and making videos blank unless I dragged them past it | 09:29 |
| blust66 | hi , simple question ..how to allow user to create directories everywhere by shell ? | 09:29 |
| phr | i just installed hardy and my disk i/o speed is really terrible, 7 mb/sec. could it have not enabled dma or something like that? how do i tell? | 09:29 |
| Jambon | crdlb: which gets annoying, but i can live with it for now. | 09:29 |
| Jambon | I just wanted to watch LOST in HD, that's all | 09:29 |
| ljsoftnet | legend2440 theres no error msgs? | 09:30 |
| Jambon | and not boot into windows to do so | 09:30 |
| Tigerken | Hello, I'm new to ubuntu 8.04 or to any other distribution... can someone tell me how I can run adept manager with root priveleges? | 09:30 |
| Dr_willis | !sudo | Tigerken | 09:30 |
| ubottu | Tigerken: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 09:30 |
| DrinkBeer | reboot your comp and see if it sayd DMA enabled after it POSTs | 09:30 |
| Tigerken | ty dr willis :) | 09:30 |
| Dr_willis | Tigerken, you really want to use kdesudo, or some other graphicalsudo variant for X apps. | 09:30 |
| Tigerken | so I need to use kdesudo instead of sudo? | 09:31 |
| zvacet | Tigerken :kdesu | 09:31 |
| Assargadon | Dr_willis thanks, I overlook it, despite the fact something as easy as Firestarter is much better in therms of simplicity ;) | 09:31 |
| phr | i don't really get to see those messages, it just shows the ubuntu graphic | 09:31 |
| Tigerken | kdesu | 09:31 |
| phr | i'm looking in dmesg | 09:31 |
| Tigerken | ok, thnx :) | 09:31 |
| Tigerken | I'll give it a try | 09:31 |
| Jambon | crdlb: so as far as compiz goes... | 09:32 |
| crdlb | Jambon: join #compiz-fusion for a second please | 09:32 |
| DrinkBeer | is anyone else having problems with hardy playing videos? other than flash based? | 09:32 |
| phr | i see a bunch of dmesg that looks like dma should work | 09:32 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, not really. | 09:33 |
| tag | turns out I'm wrong | 09:33 |
| DrinkBeer | Dr: not with all video just well most | 09:33 |
| tag | interesting | 09:33 |
| phr | [ 18.818614] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods | 09:33 |
| phr | [ 18.818655] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 312581808 512-byte hardware sectors (160042 MB) | 09:33 |
| phr | hmm is that for hard disk? | 09:33 |
| DrinkBeer | flash plays fine but no audio, mpeg n avi dont play worth a damn but have audio | 09:33 |
| tag | new user, new evo setup, still no goddamn calendar in my clock | 09:33 |
| DrinkBeer | i installed the libmpeg and etc. wtf can it be | 09:33 |
| DrinkBeer | it worked perfect in gutsy | 09:33 |
| timandtom | What's the /home/USERNAME/.thumbnails/normal folder for? Also, is there a way to make it STOP storing thumbnails for everything ever in there? Aside from the obvious paranoia and not wanting traces of everything, it slows Avast ;P | 09:34 |
| Tigerken | Dr_willis, how do I start adept-manager with kdesudo or sudo? | 09:34 |
| DrinkBeer | Tiger | 09:34 |
| Tigerken | I read the website | 09:34 |
| Tigerken | yes? | 09:35 |
| DrinkBeer | U want it to load on startup or just load | 09:35 |
| phr | i hear a click once a minute or so. is that the critical bug that destroys hard drives after a few months? | 09:35 |
| Dr_willis | Tigerken, kdesudo COMMANDTORUN | 09:35 |
| DrinkBeer | phr - true | 09:35 |
| Tigerken | I just want to open adept manager right now :) | 09:35 |
| DrinkBeer | it is the sound of death same is true for psu's | 09:35 |
| DrinkBeer | lol | 09:35 |
| fausto | hi, anyone knows how to list installed packages not available on the repositories ? | 09:35 |
| phr | i never had heard that click with fedora | 09:35 |
| DrinkBeer | sudo apt-get "CMD" | 09:36 |
| werther | hi, anyone can help me with mount USB drive on hardy? | 09:36 |
| Tigerken | is there maybe a list with euhm... available commands to run? :p | 09:36 |
| DrinkBeer | Tiger google "bash commands" or "linux command line commands" | 09:36 |
| drivetrax | crdlb, - i do not presently have alacarte | 09:36 |
| Tigerken | ok | 09:36 |
| Tigerken | ty for ur help | 09:36 |
| astro76 | fausto: in Synaptic if you click Origin, they will be listed under Local, IIRC | 09:36 |
| MrDowntempo | Can anyone help me getting an ssh server running? | 09:36 |
| DrinkBeer | that is what this community is based on | 09:36 |
| Tigerken | :) | 09:37 |
| timandtom | DrinkBeer: What would cause a PSU to get a "click of death"? | 09:37 |
| ne0 | hello | 09:37 |
| DrinkBeer | Tim - the fan starting to die | 09:37 |
| fausto | astro76: there is an option for apt-get or aptitude ? | 09:37 |
| MrDowntempo | I used to be able to just install and it'd be good to go. But I can't login to the openssh server on my hardy desktop | 09:37 |
| DrinkBeer | once the fan goes that is like some having a heart attack in their 90;'s | 09:37 |
| ne0 | i got a script for calibrating stylus but how do i install it or use it | 09:37 |
| DrinkBeer | they will live but not for long | 09:37 |
| DrinkBeer | even if you replace "the ticker" | 09:37 |
| astro76 | fausto: well apt-cache policy packagename will tell you the origin of a package, not sure how to do it for everything | 09:38 |
| timandtom | DrinkBeer: Ah, makes sense, I just didn't expect a fan to really click, kind of just wind down :) Tis what happened to my external fan for my 360 at least | 09:38 |
| syntrx | timandtom, the fact that most SMPS are cheap rubbish | 09:38 |
| DrinkBeer | that actually is a big prob with 360 right now | 09:38 |
| DrinkBeer | almost borderline recall status | 09:38 |
| fausto | astro76: thanks | 09:38 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have a bunch of jpg in several folders, what wild card do i use to move all the pictures in the many folders into 1 | 09:39 |
| DrinkBeer | well shit people i need to take a shower i will brb | 09:39 |
| timandtom | DrinkBeer: Yeh, huge failure rate. Got the elite when it came out, got an intercooler the same day. Replaced that one a coupla weeks back | 09:39 |
| DrinkBeer | yeah | 09:39 |
| ne0 | ?? | 09:39 |
| DrinkBeer | alot of people who bought it when it came out are having issues | 09:39 |
| DrinkBeer | well BRB all | 09:39 |
| mikefizz | hey, can somebody tell me a normal cpu temperature (p4) | 09:40 |
| phr | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 | 09:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 59695 in suse "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime" [Unknown,In progress] | 09:40 |
| jaffarkelshac | if you using amd 29-45c mikefizz | 09:40 |
| mikefizz | its a p4 | 09:41 |
| Dr_willis | jaffarkelshac, I dont think theres one 'wildcard' that will do that. You could use the find command and make a little script to do it. | 09:41 |
| timandtom | What's the /home/USERNAME/.thumbnails/normal folder for? Are there any other folders like that that store stuff even after the main file has been deleted? | 09:41 |
| jaffarkelshac | i thought there was, thank you Dr_willis | 09:41 |
| TheBigNoob | I hate my video settings! | 09:41 |
| TheBigNoob | wooooooooo | 09:41 |
| mikefizz | the ambient temperature is around 60F and its reading 54f and im not sure if the sensor is messed up or if its just cooled down | 09:41 |
| magnetron | my nvidia 6800GT is about 58 degrees celsius when i'm in ordinary Gnome. is this much? | 09:42 |
| Dr_willis | jaffarkelshac, wildcards get expanede by the shell.. so somthing like cp */*/*/foo dont make a lot of sence in many cases | 09:42 |
| TheBigNoob | its nothing to really worry about | 09:42 |
| onats | how do i issue a download/wget from an ssh connection, then it should continue after i close that ssh session? | 09:42 |
| timandtom | mikefizz: Your sure thats 54F and and C or K? Haven't been paying attention, but that seems like it could be it ;) | 09:42 |
| astro76 | !screen | onats | 09:42 |
| ubottu | onats: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 09:42 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron that isn't terrible | 09:42 |
| TheBigNoob | not great, but is acceptable | 09:43 |
| mikefizz | timandtom, thats what i thought, cause when i tell it to read in celcius it gives me 15 degrees | 09:43 |
| TheBigNoob | my 8800GTS is running at 49C | 09:43 |
| ttt-- | hi, i updated ubuntu and now non of the flash movies in firefox or any other browser have sound. what could be causing this? | 09:43 |
| ttt-- | none* | 09:43 |
| mikefizz | and i thought they must have made a mistake with their conversion factor | 09:43 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: how can i improve it? is there any settings i could "lower" to reduce the heat produced? | 09:43 |
| TheBigNoob | Are you running beryl? | 09:44 |
| TheBigNoob | or compiz? | 09:44 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: no. | 09:44 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron: have you overclock anything on your computer? | 09:44 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: someone said lowering the bpp to 16 instead of 24 would help. nothing is overclocked | 09:44 |
| timandtom | mikefizz: Huh, weird. I have no idea. Sensors probably just borked. If nothings going wrong, I wouldn't worry though :) See if anyone you know has a good infrared thermometer or something and check if you want too though. | 09:45 |
| bazhang | ttt--: try closing any music players--completely quitting them | 09:45 |
| ttt-- | bazhang: i've rebooted a lot already, doesnt help | 09:45 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron: I think you will be fine with those temps, you don't plan on running any 3d environments do you? | 09:45 |
| Daonix | Hello! Is there any way of connecting Nokia 5300 to my computer? | 09:45 |
| mikefizz | timandtom, yeah im probably just gunna let it do its thing. i just moved some stuff around inside the box and wanted to make sure i didnt melt anything | 09:45 |
| bazhang | ttt--: try switching to alsa also | 09:45 |
| ttt-- | bazhang, what's alsa? | 09:45 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: i plan to run games, but my computer crashes often when i do. | 09:46 |
| suxxor | i`ve got problem with google earth | 09:46 |
| suxxor | i`ve started it | 09:46 |
| mikefizz | timandtom, i was also trying to get the fans to slow down because they are soooo loud, i moved my hard drive into the bottom of the box with some dampeners and that helped but the fans are the worst | 09:46 |
| bazhang | ttt--: check in sound preferences and change from autodetect to alsa | 09:46 |
| timandtom | mikefizz, as long as it seems like it's getting good airflow, and everythings working like normal, I wouldn't worry :) But, like I said, ask a coupla people if they have a thermometer handy | 09:46 |
| suxxor | but don`t work | 09:46 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron: trying seeing if you have fresh thermal paste/adequate cooling flow through your computer | 09:46 |
| ttt-- | bazhang: it's already set to alsa | 09:46 |
| bazhang | ttt--: quit firefox and open a music player and try to play an mp3 | 09:47 |
| ttt-- | normal sounds plays | 09:47 |
| TheBigNoob | Does anyone have a reason why I can't get my refresh rate to change from 85Hz no matter what I do, It's stuck here | 09:47 |
| === de3de is now known as Bo_Rn | ||
| knmstrflx | I have a firegl v3100 driver problem in Hardy. EnvyNG has failed me. Are there any other options? | 09:47 |
| TheBigNoob | IM using the new nvidia drivers and nvidia-settings | 09:47 |
| magnetron | Daonix: does your nokia have bluetooth? that's usually the easiest solution. you could also try the Gnome Phone Manager (in applications > add /remove) | 09:47 |
| timandtom | mikefizz: For the fans, the best bet would just be to replace them with quieter ones. I know there are some little washer type things you can get that help dampen fans though, and I've heard of people cutting the grill off the case to get better airflow, so they can slow the fans more, but thats a bit extreme likely | 09:48 |
| bazhang | ttt--: now completely quit the music player (not set to tray but quit altogether) then open firefox, clear the cache, and then restart firefox | 09:48 |
| magnetron | Daonix: Wammu could also be something | 09:48 |
| ttt-- | oh wait! i had it on alsa mixer, not pcm alsa | 09:48 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron: how long have you been using ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: ok, i should check the installation of the fan. it's custom installed by my little brother :D | 09:48 |
| ttt-- | it works now! thanks a lot bazhang | 09:48 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: 3 years | 09:49 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron: thats probably your culprit | 09:49 |
| drivetrax | bazhang, -- I think, I am should have Alacarte in my accessory menu, but it is not there, and I cannot find it in Add/Remove | 09:49 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron: I have an old 6800GT in my server and It never breaks 40C | 09:49 |
| dark | help | 09:49 |
| timandtom | mikefizz: Really though, does sound matter very much? I had an old Pentium 2, the fans in it sounded like an airplane taking off. And oh god, the CD drive was horrible. Think annoying dial up sounds, but the whole time it slowly opens and slowly closes :P | 09:50 |
| TheBigNoob | magnetron you have any Ideas about my refresh rate problem? | 09:50 |
| bazhang | ttt--: but it is a short term fix; next time you try and play both it will happen again--it is a bug, so be aware you can only listen to one source at a time | 09:50 |

| loller | FloodBot1 : what`s your name | 09:54 |
| magnetron | TheBigNoob: you have to add info to your xorg.conf about your monitor. you cannot simply choose a refresh rate, as this would be different with different resolutions. you need to add two values in the xorg.conf, the horizontal and vertical sync. these can usually be found in your monitor manual | 09:54 |

| krychek | vlc can play videos but has no sound, totem plays videos very slowly and there is no sound... but youtube works just fine | 09:58 |
| krychek | i tried to reinstall all gstreamer codecs and totem but no good | 09:58 |
| magnetron | timandtom: it's not really easy. i was looking for a graphical tool to configure it, but i forgot the name | 09:58 |

| knmstrflx | There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition (Hardy) it could be caused by the following: No ATI gfx driver installed or not functioning properly; please install the appropriate driver or configure using aticonfig. um what2do? | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | krychek, reinstalling is windows thinking. Most likely you need to install the w32codecs or some other parts | 09:59 |
| _majestix_ | anyone is using ubuntu-server on sparc? | 09:59 |
| ushimitsudoki | drivetrax: ? | 09:59 |
| timandtom | magnetron: Ah, poo. Is there a way to make a shortcut/link that just opens terminal and runs "avast"? | 09:59 |
| magnetron | knmstrflx: system > admin > hardware drivers. what does it say about your ATI driver? | 09:59 |
| drivetrax | ushimitsudoki, Okinaman chito ryu | 09:59 |
| krychek | Dr_willis: everything was fine in 7.10, upgrading to hardy broke it | 10:00 |

| bazhang | drivetrax: english please | 10:00 |
| Dr_willis | krychek, i never upgrade. :) | 10:00 |
| drivetrax | lol | 10:00 |
| DrinkBeer | Dr_willis - any ideas on how to get streming mpeg or avis to play let alone ones that are already on the filesystem? | 10:00 |
| bazhang | adiksw_: polish? | 10:00 |
| magnetron | timandtom: yes. right click the desktop and choose "create launcher". avast will only scan for windows viruses, though, since there are no know linux viruses :D | 10:00 |
| Saint`Dia | How do move directories by command line? | 10:01 |
| krychek | ive upgraded on 3 other machines and it was fine.. only this comp is messed up now | 10:01 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] My Tracker produces 23 'file-index-tmp' files. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635. Is this normal or an error? | 10:01 |
| knmstrflx | Saint`Dia: mv | 10:01 |
| Gnea | Saint`Dia: mv dir target | 10:01 |
| Saint`Dia | It'll move files. But not directories. | 10:01 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, gmplayer and vlc can play most streams here. I guessit depends on whats doing the streaming. | 10:01 |
| === Raviou2 is now known as Ravious | ||
| DrinkBeer | VLC wont play any video files | 10:02 |
| DrinkBeer | they will play but like i said before about a fpm | 10:02 |
| DrinkBeer | instead of fps | 10:02 |
| krychek | (totem:6851): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed | 10:02 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, that sounds more like a video card/driver issue | 10:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | Raviou2:i have 2 cards/ 3 monitors | 10:02 |
| timandtom | magnetron, Ah, k, thanks :) And I know about that. Tis a small file server for me and a few friends, I just don't want to be the reason my Windows using friends get infected. | 10:02 |
| DrinkBeer | well it is an ATI | 10:03 |
| DrinkBeer | but streaming and downloaded flash content play flawless | 10:03 |
| Ravious | ushimitsudoki: Could i beg to see your conf? lol | 10:03 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, my x200m playes about anything i toss at it. using the ati, driver. fglrx works on it also now. | 10:03 |
| Gnea | Saint`Dia: yes it will. | 10:03 |
| knmstrflx | magnetron: ATI drivers enabled :) | 10:03 |
| layo_ | Hey | 10:04 |
| Saint`Dia | Gnea: Well, it did it, but not like I wanted it to. Ohh well, job done. | 10:04 |
| DrinkBeer | fglrx like i said plays everything else fine, even UT2k4 under wine | 10:04 |
| DrinkBeer | just no mpeg related video files or avi files | 10:04 |
| ushimitsudoki | Ravious: sure. i have a couple: 1 is all 3 screens as one big Xinerama, the other is 2 as TwinView and 1 separate. This is for nvidia drivers | 10:04 |
| magnetron | timandtom: you should look into clamav, i think it can schedule itself easily | 10:04 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, very weird. run the players from a terminal, look for error messages | 10:04 |
| DrinkBeer | no errors just no video | 10:05 |
| DrinkBeer | it flashs the video every like 10-20 secs or so | 10:05 |
| Ravious | ushimitsudoki: That would be great.. I've been about ready to pull my hair out for days now.. | 10:05 |
| DrinkBeer | if not at all and that is with an ogg | 10:05 |
| DrinkBeer | it plays streaming flash video and that is it | 10:05 |
| krychek | DrinkBeer: you cant play videos after upgrading to hardy? | 10:05 |
| DrinkBeer | pretty much | 10:05 |
| DrinkBeer | nope | 10:05 |
| krychek | i cant either | 10:06 |
| timandtom | magnetron, Ok, I'll check into it, thanks. | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | gutsy no problem | 10:06 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, flash has nothing to do with the other video players. :) | 10:06 |
| BaD-Laptop | install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:06 |
| MakGyver | is there another mirror hosting --> ubuntu-8.04-desktop-powerpc.iso | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | in hardy i cant play shit unless it is flash based format | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | i know | 10:06 |
| babolat | I always get "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP " when trying start up my connection via PPPoE. Is there a way to fix this? | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | i am saying that is all that will play | 10:06 |
| MakGyver | the one its on now keeps timing out and disconnecting me | 10:06 |
| Gnea | DrinkBeer: did you make sure all of the codecs were updated as well? | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | yeah | 10:06 |
| Gnea | DrinkBeer: what about glxgears? | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | yup | 10:06 |
| krychek | DrinkBeer: can you play mp3s? | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | flawless | 10:06 |
| krychek | i cant | 10:06 |
| Gnea | DrinkBeer: and mplayer or xine? | 10:06 |
| DrinkBeer | every format plays except video | 10:06 |
| timandtom | magnetron, Wait, I looked at it earlier... It doesn't have a GUI does it? I think that's why I chose to just use Avast, haha :) More familiar with it. And then it turns it's SUPER easy to use in terminal too. | 10:07 |
| krychek | i can play videos with vlc but no sound | 10:07 |
| MakGyver | second question, is there a way to to a "net" install if I mount the ISO on my local LAN? | 10:07 |
| DrinkBeer | all players can play audio, vlc, amarok, rhythmbox, the video players cant do anything but play the audio | 10:07 |
| ushimitsudoki | Ravious: http://pastebin.com/d168e9be (This is the two monitors on the same card as TwinView, and the right most monitor on a separate card and X screen.) | 10:07 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, that so sounds like a codec issue . | 10:07 |
| DrinkBeer | i am thinking so | 10:08 |
| magnetron | timandtom: there's a separate gui for it. search for "clamav" in applications > add/remove and it will show up | 10:08 |
| Dr_willis | DrinkBeer, tried gmplayer yet? compile a list of what players do what. i guess | 10:08 |
| DrinkBeer | but i just wonder if anyone else has had any issues | 10:08 |
| krychek | DrinkBeer: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=956475 it just started to work for someone with the same issue | 10:08 |

| knmstrflx | There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition (Hardy) it could be caused by the following: No ATI gfx driver installed or not functioning properly; please install the appropriate driver or configure using aticonfig. um what2do? | 10:08 |

| babolat | Will somebody please look at -->http://paste.ubuntu.com/9708/ because i keep getting disconnected from the Internet, and perhaps ***Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP*** has somethin' to do with it... | 10:08 |

| DrinkBeer | that article is kinda what i was thinking to do next | 10:09 |
| DrinkBeer | like i said i would rather ask then break an install lol :) | 10:09 |
| krychek | DrinkBeer: is there a bugreport about this on launchpad? | 10:10 |
| DrinkBeer | i havent seen yet | 10:10 |
| ushimitsudoki | In Firefox and Epiphany both, the active tab sometimes loads the homepage randomly. Very frustrating - anyone else know about this? (Hardy amd64) | 10:10 |
| Sambrista | Hi! I'm trying to create a .deb package and I have no idea on how to install gconf schema files when installing the package. Can anyone help me? | 10:10 |

What would be the best route to go? I just want to be able to move from one screen to the next with the same desktop. | 10:11 |
| DrinkBeer | write it, save it, create a launcher, and set it to run in terminal | 10:12 |
| DrinkBeer | quick easy not so clean way | 10:12 |
| white_eagle | I upgraded to hardy and I noticed that ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't take me to a virtual terminal anymore | 10:13 |
| white_eagle | why is that? | 10:13 |
| Gnea | babolat: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/46324-ubuntu-ppp-pap-secrets.html | 10:13 |
| ushimitsudoki | Ravious: Xinerama is your only option I think. You can NOT move windows between screens when they are separate X screens - I KNOW this. And TwinView is nvidia-only, so I don't THINK that is an option because both your cards are not nvidia. So, that leaves Xinerama | 10:13 |
| white_eagle | neither ctrl-alt-f2,f3,f4,f5 work | 10:13 |
| Gnea | babolat: see the bottom for the fix | 10:13 |
| Sambrista | ubottu: i'm not compiling, just creating a .deb package. I just install some python scripts and then I want to tell gconf to use them | 10:13 |

| babolat | Gnea: looking :) | 10:13 |
| DrinkBeer | i dunno since i have ATI i think since it is a new realse there are still some bugs in the codecs or something somewhere | 10:13 |
| Gnea | Sambrista: ubottu is a bot, not a real person | 10:13 |

| wangfg | xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: i have sound driver | 10:14 |
| Ravious | ushimitsudoki: ok, thanks. I'll take a look at the config file and see what i can figure out. Would you happen to know about the txt screen when x crashes? how its all off screen? | 10:14 |
| white_eagle | I upgraded to hardy and I noticed that ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't take me to a virtual terminal anymore, neither ctrl-alt-f2,f3,f4,f5,f12 works for me | 10:14 |
| white_eagle | is it something new, or it works for you | 10:15 |
| white_eagle | too | 10:15 |

| DrinkBeer | off topic i know, but when did 2600 go back to the original binding? was it the last issue or did i miss one | 10:33 |
| ushimitsudoki | In Firefox and Ephiphany both, sometimes the active tab re-loads the home page, seemingly at random. Anyone else experience or know about this? | 10:33 |

| DrinkBeer | lol ubuntu, hell all linux distros need a seperate chat for ati support | 10:35 |
| Saint`Dia | Man, the firefox that comes with the new ubuntu, is anyone else getting hella bugs in the program? | 10:35 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to lower the screen brightness sensitivity? 1 Function+Down lowers it by 50% | 10:36 |
| DrinkBeer | see if people would stop making 100 diff distros and focus on a few well rounded ones, these issues,. well most would not be there | 10:36 |
| drivetrax | lol.. eh, finally found alacarte, and removed the dead menu item for catalyst | 10:36 |
| ushimitsudoki | Saint`Dia: I am - I am aking about a random re-loading of home page, but no one else seems to experience this | 10:36 |
| cuonglb | waiting ... ubuntu update :D | 10:36 |

| scoldog | Anyone having problems playing DVD's in Hardy? | 10:36 |
| Gnea | DrinkBeer: yes, but no one likes to be told what to do :) | 10:36 |
| cuonglb | only prolem with compiz | 10:36 |
| DrinkBeer | lol well yeah | 10:37 |
| DrinkBeer | i agree 100% Gnea even me myself ;-) | 10:37 |
| cuonglb | hehe | 10:37 |
| Myrtti | please keep the offtopic from this channel | 10:37 |
| Saint`Dia | ushimitsudoki: I see it's not showing the backbutton as active, the address bar is'nt even showing the page it's on, tab support is messed up for me, all kinds of stuff. I went back to firefox 2. | 10:37 |
| DrinkBeer | but i do say 1 think...last.fm rox | 10:37 |
| Myrtti | there's enough traffic here without offtopic | 10:37 |
| scoldog | I can't play DVD's in Hardy, even with VLC | 10:37 |
| DrinkBeer | thing* | 10:37 |
| Gnea | Saint`Dia: did you make sure to upgrade everything before making the upgrade to hardy? | 10:38 |
| Slart | scoldog: installed that dvd css thingy? | 10:38 |
| scoldog | Yep | 10:38 |
| Kohlrak | is there a known bug where the updating to hardy disables you from logging in? I'd submit an automatic bug report, but........ | 10:38 |
| Gnea | Saint`Dia: or maybe your ~/.mozilla dir needs to be reset | 10:38 |
| Slart | scoldog: any messages in the vlc log? | 10:38 |
| scoldog | libdvdcss or whatever it is | 10:38 |
| Flynsarmy | scoldog: I am. I tried using Movie Player this morning and it just sat on 100% CPU usage and did nothing, then tried vlc and it quit without any reason | 10:38 |
| ushimitsudoki | Saint`Dia: hmmm, that is much worse than I experience - and i get the same buggy behavior with either Firefox or Ephipany - probably different issues | 10:38 |
| scoldog | Ditto | 10:38 |
| Saint`Dia | ushimitsudoki: Most likely. | 10:38 |
| scoldog | Flynsarmy, That's the same prob I am having | 10:38 |
| Gnea | Saint`Dia: should just be a simple matter of importing your bookmarks from there, if that's the case | 10:38 |
| DrinkBeer | well off to random banter later all | 10:38 |
| scoldog | Slart, lemme check the logs | 10:38 |

| PaRaSiTe2 | Does anyone here have Hardy 8.04 (64bit if possible) running on dial-up internet? If so, what modem do you have? | 10:39 |
| ariqs | dvds work fine for me in VLC | 10:39 |
| white_eagle | !info libglib | 10:39 |

| Myrtti | Netham45: you can use the bot in om | 10:39 |
| Myrtti | Netham45: in pm | 10:39 |
| Slart | scoldog: start vlc from a terminal.. or open the "messages" window | 10:39 |
| xXEx3cuti0n3rXx | Can't believe you still have dile up. xD | 10:39 |
| The_Bridge | oh ic | 10:39 |
| Drock112 | hey whats up | 10:39 |
| The_Bridge | so i cant install cclfox on hardy heron then? | 10:40 |
| The_Bridge | so i can yet install cclfox on hardy heron then? | 10:40 |
| scoldog | Slart, this is what it says "dvdread error: read failed for -1/4 blocks at 0x01" | 10:40 |
| ariqs | parasite2: I have hardy running on a windows software modem, and an old usr | 10:40 |
| ariqs | executioner: I have dialup because I can't get anything else in this area | 10:40 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: Which modem!? My modem just wont work, so I'm willing to buy a new one./ | 10:41 |
| Kohlrak | So is there a bug when upgrading from gutsy to heron though the update thinger? | 10:41 |
| scoldog | Found something on the video lan forum | 10:41 |
| ariqs | parasite2: what is your modem? I had to compile special drivers for my software modem | 10:41 |
| Drock112 | Ok i have hardy installed and the lappy crashes whenever i drag and drop ...is there a fix and were could i get it | 10:41 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: It's an Intel 536EP. | 10:41 |
| norbert | thanks - it actually was: Ride on Time-Black Box :) | 10:42 |
| Flynsarmy | scoldog: Cancel that VLC is working for me now. I installed some libraries this morning. must have just needed a reboot | 10:42 |
| norbert | bye | 10:42 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | I just can't get it online, and it's infuriating. | 10:42 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Spent hours trying | 10:42 |
| cwillu | Drock112, can you be more specific? what crashes, what apps are you dragging from and to? | 10:42 |
| norbert | and really sorry for spam | 10:42 |
| ariqs | parasite2: have you tried using wvdial? | 10:42 |
| scoldog | Flynsarmy, OK. My probs seems to be a region code problem | 10:42 |
| Saint`Dia | Is there anyway to like "defrag". | 10:42 |
| Drock112 | pdf on the desktop into my docs | 10:42 |
| astro76 | !defrag | Saint`Dia | 10:42 |
| ubottu | Saint`Dia: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 10:42 |
| scoldog | Dunno why, I've never changed the region code on this thing | 10:42 |
| cuonglb | SNMP :D | 10:42 |
| Gnea | white_eagle: have you tried turning the framebuffer off? | 10:43 |
| Drock112 | the mouse is acting all weird too | 10:43 |
| Slart | Saint`Dia: there is... but you'll have a fifty fifty chance of trashing the partition... so don't do it..=) | 10:43 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: Yeah. Actually, look at my thread. Easier than explaining EVERYTHING! Screenies included: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774611 | 10:43 |
| white_eagle | Gnea: where do I turn that off | 10:43 |
| Slart | Saint`Dia: just keep a healthy 20% or so of the drive space free and you'll be fine | 10:43 |
| Kohlrak | So nobody knows if there's an issue updating to hardy through the update manager? (this reminds me of winxp SP2...) | 10:43 |
| white_eagle | Gnea: sorry but after 4 months, I am still n00bish | 10:43 |
| Gnea | white_eagle: at boot time - check your grub config in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:43 |
| Gnea | white_eagle: see if there's something that says vga=791 or such | 10:44 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: OK? | 10:44 |
| ariqs | i'm loading it, parasite | 10:44 |
| white_eagle | Gnea: yes there is | 10:45 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: Cool, just making sure my post didn't get lost in the channel. :) | 10:45 |
| white_eagle | in defoptions=vga=791 | 10:45 |
| cuonglb | có cu Việt nam nào trong này không ? | 10:45 |
| Gnea | white_eagle: try removing it | 10:45 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: The pics are quite large, sorry. | 10:45 |
| Slart | cuonglb: english, please | 10:45 |
| astro76 | white_eagle: funny, I had to remove the vga option to get the consoles working in gutsy | 10:45 |
| Luigix | hi guys | 10:45 |
| Ace2016 | Hi all | 10:45 |
| white_eagle | Gnea: so it should be left to "defoptions=" ? | 10:45 |
| cwillu | Drock112, what happens if you go into Preferences | Apperance | Effects (tab), and set the effects to none. Does it still crash? | 10:46 |
| white_eagle | Gnea: just checking | 10:46 |
| Ace2016 | whats the shortcut combo which brings up the skull and cross bones mouse cursor so you can kill an app? | 10:46 |
| astro76 | white_eagle: yes | 10:46 |
| legend2440 | Flynsarmy: re:brightness problem have you read this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/hal/+bug/207473 | 10:46 |
| astro76 | Ace2016: run xkill, you can run it from alt+F2 | 10:46 |
| Slart | Ace2016: I don't know of a key shortcut.. but the program is called "xkill" | 10:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 207473 in hal "Screen brightness double level changes" [Medium,Confirmed] | 10:46 |
| white_eagle | astro76: and now I should reboot | 10:46 |
| Gnea | white_eagle: just comment defoptions= out :) | 10:46 |
| white_eagle | astro76: right? | 10:46 |
| Ace2016 | where are my installed gtk themes? | 10:46 |
| scoldog | Flynsarmy, Slart Thanks for your input, I'm going to swap out my DVD drive now to see if that helps | 10:46 |
| cwillu | Drock112, (when you reply, make sure you include my name, or else I probably won't see it) | 10:46 |
| DrinkBeer | gtk themes | 10:46 |
| astro76 | white_eagle: yeah | 10:46 |
| white_eagle | Gnea: I should reboot now? | 10:46 |
| Ace2016 | xkill, that was it, thanks | 10:46 |
| white_eagle | ok | 10:47 |

| Gnea | astro76: nope, it's grub, not lilo :) | 10:47 |
| Gnea | it reads from the config file in real time | 10:47 |
| kevinleech | my flash in firefox hardy heron lags verry much | 10:48 |
| astro76 | Gnea: yeah but update-grub copies the defoptions down to the actual entries, if that's where he changed it | 10:48 |

| Viddy | I'm re-asking a question, now with more information.... as user1 I can login from the terminal, but running sudo results in "sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied", can su to root, with root pw set. Can log in as root on console, and can su to user1 and user2. can't su to user3, get "Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied". can't login as user3. Get "Unable to cd to '/home/user3'. Permissions on user3's directories are equival | 10:52 |
| Viddy | ient to other users. If i as root su to user2, i can run the sudo command sucessfully - it doesn't quit with a permission denied error, without asking for a password as it does for user1 | 10:52 |
| Gnea | whiteeagle: you need to comment that line out... then you need to run update-grub | 10:52 |
| DrinkBeer | ACE, just right click the desktop | 10:52 |
| Gnea | whiteeagle: and THEN you reboot | 10:52 |
| Drock112 | thanks Very much cwillu...big help...too bad i wont get all the nice effects though | 10:52 |

| cwillu | abyss_, (sorry about the delay) | 11:05 |
| cwillu | abyss_, yes, there's an issue with the flash plugin causing firefox crashes if it's routed through pulseaudio | 11:06 |
| cwillu | abyss_, so that functionality is disabled right now | 11:06 |
| Gnea | astro76: alright, i'm getting some sleep. sorry for the butting of heads. :/ | 11:06 |
| Bodsda | i just installed hardy -- everything was fine untill i did some updates now my sounds one-- if i loud the sounds thing System-->pref-->Sounds i can hear sounds ifi set to alsa but onlyfromthe tests notfrom music | 11:06 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | ariqs: Much MUCH smaller filesizes. | 11:06 |
| cwillu | abyss_, you can install libflashsupport, and then remove and reinstall the flashplugin, and that'll make it share the audio device, but you get occasional crashes (although they're more annoying than damaging, due to the session restoring that firefox has) | 11:06 |
| Ergo^ | hello | 11:07 |
| cwillu | abyss_, btw, hdparm cached will be referring to the kernel cache afaik, not the actual drive cache | 11:07 |
| Flynsarmy | Bodsda: Not sure if this will help you but when i need to get sound working on ubuntu i have to do this: sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic | 11:07 |
| Ergo^ | shouldnt update-manager be installed by default in my ubuntu ( was using RC) - i have only up-man-core | 11:07 |
| cwillu | abyss_, doing an uncached speed test for a very small amount, and then doing it again before accessing anything else, should give you more representative numbers | 11:07 |
| Bodsda | Flynsarmy, will try -- thanks dude | 11:07 |
| Flynsarmy | Bodsda: It will require a reboot for it to kick in | 11:08 |
| erUSUL | Ergo^: server? | 11:08 |
| Ergo^ | no, desktop | 11:08 |
| erUSUL | Ergo^: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to make sure you have the default packages | 11:08 |
| Bodsda | Flynsarmy, ok,.,. ty -- i think hardy needs alot of work -- this pulse audio switch was not a good idea | 11:08 |
| Ergo^ | maybe i should rather reinstall from GA release ? | 11:09 |

| cwillu | Flynsarmy, for future reference, alot of people's audio problems (where it half works, but some apps just don't get sound) are related to a current snafu with the flash plugin | 11:10 |
| Flynsarmy | cwillu: I installed the adobe flash nonfree one and youtube now works but some other site instead said 'flash player 8 or above and javascript need to be enabled'. JS was enabled and its flash 9 on here so i'm not sure what the prob was | 11:11 |

| Arelis | Hello everybody. I connected an external monitor to my Ubuntu laptop. It shows in Screen Resolution Settings, yet the screen refuses to turn on. How do i do this kind of stuff? | 12:18 |
| roo1 | cwillu: no use | 12:18 |
| MrFawkes | European-African: You're asking for an opinionated opinion, so... get Gnome, also get KDE as a desktop. | 12:18 |
| European-African | Grandia: reasons | 12:18 |
| MrFawkes | Gnome has less interface distractions. | 12:18 |
| herbaliser | anybody now a nice side bar that display's cpu temp,processor, mem usage, disk ... | 12:18 |
| Slart | echogen: well.. that's a whole new problem.. your windows partition is using all the free space on the drive.. you'll have to shrink the windows partiton first | 12:18 |
| Arelis | My video card is a 855GM | 12:18 |
| Zyrando | anyone here who can help me with Ndiswrapper?! | 12:18 |
| cwillu | roo1, in a terminal, run metacity --replace | 12:18 |
| MrFawkes | Zyrando: I'm sure yelling louder will help. | 12:18 |
| echogen | Slart: i have a hardisk having 2 partitions, 1 windows and another for linux already | 12:19 |
| Zyrando | ? | 12:19 |
| European-African | what i am asking is serperate OS better or extra guis? | 12:19 |
| herbaliser | anybody now a nice side bar that display's cpu temp,processor, mem usage, disk ... | 12:19 |
| Slart | herbaliser: conky is one | 12:19 |
| Arelis | Please, anybody? Why are you ignoring my question? | 12:19 |
| MrFawkes | European-African: Extra GUIs, there's mostly no reason to have a separate OS. | 12:19 |
| libex | Hello, i have a problem with the sound under ubuntu. I have updated it from gutsy to hardy and now I have no sound anymore. | 12:19 |
| Slart | !info conky | herbaliser | 12:19 |
| ubottu | herbaliser: conky: highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 170 kB, installed size 524 kB | 12:19 |
| roo1 | cwillu: done, but do I have to run that everytime? should I add it to session startup? | 12:19 |
| cwillu | roo1, no, it should be fine | 12:19 |
| Grandia | European-African: I think the more minimal the Desktop Manager the better IMO | 12:20 |
| MrFawkes | You end up with separate settings, bookmarks and whatnot. | 12:20 |
| cwillu | roo1, but whatever you did before caused compiz to crash | 12:20 |
| Grandia | I only use KDE cause I have trouble with the paths | 12:20 |
| Grandia | most the time I just have 2 consol windows open | 12:20 |
| cwillu | so undoing it would be a good thing, and then relog in (it should start working again, including effects (which are off right now)) | 12:20 |
| herbaliser | tnx | 12:20 |
| Lava | cwillu, sorry bout buggin you but disabling shockwave flash and i can't see the movie at all | 12:20 |
| European-African | ok thanx | 12:20 |
| * cwillu sighs at Lava | 12:20 | |
| kelvin911 | hello? | 12:20 |
| MrFawkes | Grandia: KDE is small? ;) </flamewar> <!-- written by a dwm user --!> | 12:20 |

| * Grandia kisses kelvin911 | 12:21 | |
| chell | okay I've got a couple of MP3 files here converted from FLAC files... However, the length of the songs is wrong (for instance Rhythmbox shows a song to be 12 minutes when really it's just 2-4) | 12:21 |
| roo1 | cwillu: thank you soo much, I should leave then... | 12:21 |
| cwillu | Lava, we're still checking if you have _flashblock_ installed :p | 12:21 |
| Lava | yeah, cwillu, but flashblock is uninstalled | 12:21 |
| cwillu | roo1, stay a while, help some other people :) | 12:21 |
| Grandia | MrFawkes: I have 1.5 terrabytes | 12:21 |
| Grandia | evreything is small | 12:21 |
| chell | How can I fix that? | 12:21 |
| Arelis | Is it that busy in #ubuntu? | 12:21 |
| knight666 | hi | 12:21 |
| libex | if someone is interested in my problem please ask me, i will give you more informations | 12:21 |
| cwillu | Lava, did you check from within firefox? the extension can be installed without synaptic knowing about it | 12:21 |
| MrFawkes | Grandia: True. I have plenty spare ram, but i'm just a smallness nazi. | 12:21 |
| Grandia | heh | 12:22 |
| Grandia | I'm actually on windows | 12:22 |
| European-African | are there better guis than gnome or kde? | 12:22 |
| Grandia | haven't been on linux for years | 12:22 |
| MrFawkes | chell: can't help, but why tould you turn mp3s to flacs? | 12:22 |
| kelvin911 | Grandia: hi | 12:22 |
| Arelis | How do i connect an external monitor to my laptop with an Intel 855M video card? | 12:22 |
| Grandia | just thinking of virtual machining ubuntu | 12:22 |
| chell | MrFawkes: I did it the other way around | 12:22 |
| Lava | cwillu, it is not mentioned in plug-ins under add-ons | 12:22 |
| lusius | hi :( i've got a serius problem with my ubuntu system, last night the power went f00f00 at home, now when i restarted my system again it cannot change videomode, (essential for playing starcraft and quake :( ), | 12:22 |
| chell | FLAC -> Mp3 | 12:22 |
| MrFawkes | phew | 12:22 |

| universa1 | hello, sry stupid question: how do i get nautilus to search for hidden files? | 12:22 |
| kelvin911 | there is no icon for "Mist" in weather report | 12:22 |
| knight666 | i tried to add support for multiple screens on my laptop and now compiz won't run anymore, the screen isn't recognized anymore and the resolution of my laptop screen is 1024x768 60hz, whereas before i could down it to 800x600 too ;[ | 12:22 |
| Slart | universa1: search for files starting with a dot | 12:23 |
| Lava | cwillu, how do i reinstall | 12:23 |
| knight666 | putting back the back-up of my xorg.conf didn't do anything | 12:23 |
| MrFawkes | European-African: Then again, if you're new to Ubuntu, stick with KDE/Gnome for a start. | 12:23 |
| cwillu | Lava, synaptic, flashplayer-nonfree | 12:23 |
| Grandia | European-African: 1 min | 12:23 |
| European-African | ok thanx | 12:23 |
| kelvin911 | how do u set the refresh rate to 60Hz?? | 12:23 |
| Grandia | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_manager#X_Window_System | 12:23 |
| universa1 | Slart: i do, i see the folder, then i search for it, and it is not found. | 12:23 |
| kelvin911 | mine is only 50Hz | 12:23 |
| Slart | universa1: any weird characters in the folder name? | 12:24 |
| kelvin911 | i know my video card can do better than 50Hz | 12:24 |
| Zyrando | is it possible to un/re-blacklist?! | 12:24 |
| universa1 | Slart: nope, its just .svn ;) | 12:24 |
| herbaliser | i have to compile something but i think there is no compiler installed i used to install a package build-essentials but it doesn't seem to be there anymore | 12:24 |
| universa1 | Slart: and searching for other files/folders works fine | 12:24 |
| European-African | Grandia: thanx | 12:24 |
| Slart | universa1: that seems simple enough =)... how do you search? using some kind of tool? | 12:24 |
| universa1 | Slart: nautilus --> strg+f | 12:24 |
| knight666 | i tried to add support for multiple screens on my laptop and now compiz won't run anymore, the screen isn't recognized anymore and the resolution of my laptop screen is 1024x768 60hz, whereas before i could down it to 800x600 too ;[ | 12:25 |

| szabiakanich | got a quick question | 12:25 |
| universa1 | Slart: using the console find works too, but i like the gui more ;) | 12:25 |
| szabiakanich | i got hardy running | 12:25 |
| Slart | universa1: hmm.. that search doesn't work for me so I can't test it..sorry | 12:25 |
| szabiakanich | and deinstalled ff3.05beta | 12:25 |
| szabiakanich | and installed 2.0.0.14 | 12:25 |
| szabiakanich | and i want to intall a custom theme | 12:25 |
| szabiakanich | but i get an error | 12:25 |
| universa1 | Slart: nevermind, thanks for your help anyways :) | 12:25 |
| herbaliser | i have to compile something but i think there is no compiler installed i used to install a package build-essentials but it doesn't seem to be there anymore | 12:26 |
| Slart | universa1: well.. hope you find out the answer =) | 12:26 |
| szabiakanich | this is the error that i get: var installLocation = this.getInstallLocation(item.id); | 12:26 |

| szabiakanich | anybody know what's wrong? | 12:26 |
| Lava | cwillu, can't find the package 'flashplayer-nonfree' under 'name' in synaptic | 12:26 |
| Slart | !info flashplayer-nonfree | 12:27 |
| ubottu | Package flashplayer-nonfree does not exist in hardy | 12:27 |
| cwillu | flashplugin-nonfree | 12:27 |
| cwillu | !info flashplugin-nonfree | 12:27 |
| ubottu | flashplugin-nonfree: Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 18 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 12:27 |
| Slart | ah.. my bad | 12:27 |
| universa1 | Slart: mhm, seems like it can't find any hidden directorys. googling how to do it in the console then ;) | 12:28 |
| Lava | cwillu, reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree yet still have the problem | 12:28 |
| kane77 | what is some good photo management program... f-spot is great but it does not detect duplicates :( | 12:29 |
| Slart | universa1: ought to be some switch for "find". | 12:29 |
| knight666 | simple question: where are all the programs located in Ubuntu? | 12:30 |
| geeko_ | hey folks! my gnome menu shows all directories like "Education", even though most of them are empty. How can I hide empty dirs in the menu? | 12:30 |
| universa1 | Slart: yeah might be, couldn't find anything in preferences | 12:30 |
| knight666 | i want to open irc:// extensions with xchat in firefo | 12:30 |
| Slart | knight666: all over the place.. /usr mostly | 12:30 |
| cwillu | geeko_, right click on the closed menu, hit edit menu | 12:30 |
| cwillu | geeko_, there's a checkbox for each folder | 12:30 |
| Slart | knight666: google for linux file structure .. there are some good stuff out there | 12:31 |
| geeko_ | cwillu: but theres no option to do this automatically? say I installed a education-program I would have to check the checkbox again in order for it to appear? | 12:31 |
| Lava | cwillu, reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree yet still have the problem | 12:31 |
| cwillu | geeko_, afaik, they'd only show up if they were non-empty, or manually made visible in the first place; not sure though | 12:32 |
| cwillu | geeko_, try making a new user, log in as them, and see what it does | 12:32 |
| cwillu | Lava, okay, can you restate what the problem is? I might be misunderstanding | 12:32 |
| smmagic | Hi, I'm trying to configure Folder Sharing and I am getting an error that says: You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. | 12:33 |
| smmagic | How do I fix it? | 12:33 |
| hypn0 | what is scrollkeeper-update? can I turn it off? its going at 100% cpu | 12:34 |
| Grandia | smmagic: su? | 12:34 |
| smmagic | Yeah, but I'm doing it in the GUI | 12:34 |
| cwillu | hypn0, nightly cron job; it should finish soon | 12:34 |
| Grandia | so? | 12:34 |
| Lava | thanks cwillu, it is just when i open a page containing titles and movies, the both of them are replaced by grey squares containing a 'play' symbol. if i click on the play symbol on the place where the title should be, it shows the title. If i click on the play symbol that replaced the movie, i see the first frame and then nothing else happens | 12:34 |
| smmagic | I don't get you.. | 12:34 |
| Grandia | you can still go su in the gui | 12:34 |
| cwillu | Lava, you definately have flashblock installed | 12:34 |
| linuxfreak | hi all i have a problem with my mkdir prog of breezy can someone help? | 12:34 |
| European-African | does anyone know when they will have flash support for amd-64, soon, never? | 12:35 |
| cwillu | Lava, it didn't show up in addins | extensions in firefox? | 12:35 |
| cwillu | European-African, you'd have to ask adobe | 12:35 |
| Lava | cwillu, no | 12:35 |
| smmagic | I think I might have fixed it | 12:35 |
| smmagic | Yeah, I did a chmod 777 on the directory is was located | 12:35 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: run locate libflashsupport.so and let me know if you see a line /usr/lib/mozilla/.... | 12:35 |
| cwillu | Lava do you have any other advert blocking software installed? | 12:35 |
| European-African | cwillu: i hope soon | 12:35 |
| hypn0 | cwillu: its been going for a while, down to 50%, do you know if its necessary? | 12:36 |
| linuxfreak | my mv file hase broken (libc6) can someone help? | 12:36 |
| cwillu | European-African, the pluginwrapper doesn't work for you? | 12:36 |
| cwillu | hypn0, if it doesn't run tonight, it'll just keep running every night until you let it finish | 12:36 |
| European-African | the sound does not work | 12:36 |
| Lava | cwillu, nope, the only extension i see is Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5 | 12:36 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: if not in plugins please run sudo update-alterntives --config firefox-flashplugin | 12:36 |
| cwillu | Lava, run the locate command gnomefreak mentioned | 12:36 |
| Zyrando | hey... does anybody now if I can reload my blacklist.. or how I can unblacklist blacklisted drivers? | 12:36 |
| gnomefreak | im fairly sure that is it now | 12:36 |
| European-African | does sun java run on amd-64? | 12:37 |
| cwillu | Zyrando, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, if we're talking about the same blacklist | 12:37 |
| gnomefreak | cwillu: locating that package isnt gonna help but locate flashplugin-nonfree will :) | 12:37 |
| hypn0 | cwillu: I don't leave system on at night | 12:37 |
| solrize | any idea how much stuff is in a mirror? i'm concerned i might run out of disk space | 12:37 |
| gnomefreak | cwillu: i thought lava was crashing | 12:37 |
| xaziva | Hey, I want to mount smb://boden/pfilm/ till /home/Jonathan/BODEN . How do I do? | 12:37 |
| Zyrando | yes it is.. thx cwillu | 12:37 |
| cwillu | gnomefreak, no, he's getting flashblocked :p | 12:37 |
| fausto | Anyone knows how to uninstall kubuntu from ubuntu? I instaled kubuntu-kde4-desktop to try but because of some bug it didn't marked the packeges as auto installed, so when I uninstalled it all kde packages are still there. | 12:37 |
| popey | solrize: an entire ubuntu mirror? | 12:37 |
| danbhfive | how does one debug sound problems? (I'm getting noise across my head phone jack) | 12:37 |
| solrize | popey, yeah | 12:38 |
| popey | solrize: one architecture, one release, binary only is ~17G | 12:38 |
| gnomefreak | than that command might be helpful or he installed flashblock extension | 12:38 |
| Lava | cwillu, gnomefreak standard value or selection number? if i run the sudo update-alterntives --config firefox-flashplugin | 12:38 |
| European-African | does sun java run on amd-64? | 12:38 |
| danbhfive | fausto: I can make some suggestions, but over pm | 12:38 |
| solrize | popey i've got about 150g so far and dunno how much to go | 12:38 |
| jussio1 | !flash64 | European-African | 12:38 |
| ubottu | European-African: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 12:38 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: yeah its not the right name give me a minute ill get the right name | 12:38 |
| popey | solrize: how are you mirroring? | 12:38 |
| solrize | rsync | 12:38 |
| European-African | ubottu: thanx | 12:39 |
| popey | solrize: the whole server? | 12:39 |
| solrize | yeah | 12:39 |
| popey | solrize: madness :) | 12:39 |
| jocke | When you are buying that Dell Ubuntu thingy, does everything work extremely perfect with the hardware and stuff? | 12:39 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: you areo nHardy 8.04 right? | 12:39 |
| solrize | it's skipping a lot of non-regular files which seems a little odd | 12:39 |
| Lava | gnomefreak, yep | 12:39 |
| cwillu | jocke, as opposed to just mildly perfect? :) | 12:39 |
| popey | solrize: it'll be 17G times edgy, feisty, gusty, hardy, ibex, i386, amd64 times two | 12:39 |
| dsch04 | Guys, how do I use ssh-agent in 8.04? | 12:39 |
| gnomefreak | you are on* | 12:39 |
| gnomefreak | ok | 12:39 |
| dsch04 | I want to be prompted for my public key password when I login | 12:39 |
| cwillu | solrize, what command line are you giving? | 12:40 |
| popey | solrize: i use apt-mirror, much better | 12:40 |
| solrize | 17 * 7 * 2 = 34 * 7 = around 250gb, sounds ok | 12:40 |
| fausto | anyone knows ho to uninstall kubuntu after installing kubuntu-kde4-desktop package? | 12:40 |
| geeko_ | cwillu: newly created user has nice menus w/o empty folders. so how do i get that under my default user account? | 12:40 |
| solrize | rsync mirrors.us.kernel.org::ubuntu . | 12:40 |
| danbhfive | fausto: see my message above | 12:40 |
| popey | solrize: why? | 12:40 |
| arvind_khadri | fausto, both are the same | 12:40 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: how about sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-flashplugin | 12:40 |
| solrize | to get all the files | 12:41 |
| popey | solrize: why? | 12:41 |
| cwillu | geeko_, honestly, I don't know for sure; I think if you disable those menu's, they'll reenable if something is installed into them, but I'm not sure | 12:41 |
| Lava | gnomefreak, two alternatives | 12:41 |
| Lava | *+ 1 /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so | 12:41 |
| Lava | 2 /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so | 12:41 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: pick # 2 | 12:41 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: just use the 2 than enter | 12:41 |
| solrize | easier than figuring out how to filter it | 12:41 |
| popey | solrize: it's nearer 500G | 12:42 |
| solrize | 500g is ok | 12:42 |
| gnomefreak | thats why it wasnt playing :) | 12:42 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: 64bit? | 12:42 |
| popey | solrize: it's a bit rude to grab it all if you're not going to use it | 12:42 |
| xaziva | how do I mount smb://boden/pfilm/ till /home/Jonathan/BODEN | 12:42 |
| cwillu | gnomefreak, know any tricks to make flash sound mix while not crashing firefox _or_ the plugin? | 12:42 |
| solrize | i figure we can put it up as an additional mirror, they seem to always want more | 12:42 |
| Lava | gnomefreak, still having the problem | 12:42 |
| geeko_ | cwillu: couldn't i delete something in my .gnome folder and they'll rebuild? | 12:43 |
| cwillu | gnomefreak, he still has flashblock installed somewhere :p | 12:43 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: restart the browser? | 12:43 |
| cwillu | geeko_, you probably could | 12:43 |
| hellmett | ðóí | 12:43 |
| hellmett | hey | 12:43 |
| solrize | anyway we got burned pretty badly when they took the breezy repository offline and we still had some machines running breezy so we dont want that to happen again | 12:44 |
| hellmett | is anybody out there? | 12:44 |
| extor | If my unhardened dedicated server got hacked minutes after delivery because of a flaw in the default install(that they did), should I tell my webhost about it? Or just bury it and move on? I didn't get rooted, just chowned on one non privileged user but I fixed that. | 12:44 |
| Lava | gnomefreak, even after restarting | 12:44 |
| arvind_khadri | !ask| hellmett | 12:44 |
| ubottu | hellmett: 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. :-) | 12:44 |
| gnomefreak | cwillu: PA is having issues mixing with flash. if you install libflashsupport package than you will get sound but most of time ff will crash. without the libflashsupport package installed than you wont crash but alot of users are not getting sound. for somereason mine is flawless | 12:44 |
| dsch04 | extor: tell your webhost | 12:44 |
| solrize | but i actually didn't realize when i did this rsync that it was going to get old versions, i thought it was just going to get hardy | 12:44 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: what browser? | 12:44 |
| ferronica | how to check my graphic card is working good | 12:45 |
| _ruben | solrize: using debmirror is much easier :) | 12:45 |
| cwillu | gnomefreak, yep; my laptop is flawless, most of my desktops have the problem | 12:45 |
| solrize | what's debmirror? | 12:45 |
| Lava | gnoe | 12:45 |
| Lava | gnomefreak, firefox | 12:45 |
| _ruben | solrize: i use debmirror myself to mirror gutsy/hardy i386/x64 at work | 12:45 |
| Grandia | ferronica: run a nice opengl game | 12:45 |
| gnomefreak | Lava: 3.0? | 12:45 |
| ferronica | Grandia: how | 12:46 |
| _ruben | solrize: tool to sync parts of an ubuntu/debian mirror .. using rsync/http/ftp | 12:46 |
| solrize | hmm, i'm looking at the docs for it | 12:46 |
| ferronica | Grandia: where to get from | 12:46 |
| === fausto is now known as bogusbill | ||
| Grandia | uhhh | 12:46 |
| Grandia | Scorched 3d? | 12:46 |
| Grandia | I dunno | 12:46 |
| cwillu | ferronica, glxinfo|grep -i direct | 12:46 |
| hellmett | My question is to a russian part of the chat, i'm looking for a picture of 4 country guys (derevenskie) at a table, with glasses and dump faces and looking to a camera | 12:46 |
| cwillu | should say | 12:46 |
| cwillu | yes | 12:46 |
| Johnny_5 | i love that game | 12:46 |
| Lava | gnomefreak, yup firefox 3.0b5, i even tried installing internet explorer 6 to see if i could resolve it like that, but in IE it is not working either | 12:46 |
| wil | Hi, I need help with pidgin, I clicked help and it took me here.... I was wondering how do I resize the chat window? I just upgraded too the latest version and it is really annoying compared to how it used to be | 12:46 |
| cwillu | ferronica, glxgears should show a pretty animation, at a couple hundred frames per second | 12:46 |

| gnomefreak | Lava: if you go to tools>addons from firefox menu do you see the flashblock extension listed | 12:47 |

| Jazman_ | does ubuntu like radeaon vid cards | 12:51 |
| solrize | i just installed hardy on a new computer and it's still missing a lot of stuff... i've never installed it before | 12:51 |
| Slart | Jazman_: I think the radeon cards are pretty well supported | 12:51 |
| vibeseeker | hi all; i am pretty new to linux, running ubuntu 8.04. i'm running proftpd on this ubuntu now and im having some problems with utf-8. can anybody help me please? | 12:51 |
| pujangga | server irc.plasa.com | 12:51 |
| vibeseeker | i'm from germany and ive several files with special characters | 12:51 |
| Jazman_ | i have a boot problem | 12:51 |
| wil | solrize, thanks, f9 worked | 12:51 |
| solrize | cool | 12:52 |
| Jazman_ | i tink its with my card or settings | 12:52 |
| vibeseeker | would be really nice if someone had some minutes for me | 12:52 |
| Jazman_ | may have to stay with windows | 12:52 |
| hoggie | hey | 12:52 |
| solrize | vibeseeker i'm not sure if anyone understands what trouble you're having | 12:52 |
| solrize | i don't understand it so i didn't answer | 12:52 |
| southafrikanse | Hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu (without headphones). My computer detects my soundcard (hda-intel) and the codecs (Realtek ALC880 and Generic 11c1 Si3054). My laptop is an LG P1 5005P | 12:53 |
| hoggie | why BitchX isnt on the Hardys repos? | 12:53 |
| Grandia | solrize: he's wanting a unicode support I think | 12:53 |
| vibeseeker | well, i run a ftp client on windows. but the files and folders which have special characters on the server are not shown correctly | 12:53 |
| Slart | !info bitchx | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Package bitchx does not exist in hardy | 12:53 |
| Slart | hmm.. odd.. it's available in gutsy.. | 12:54 |
| hoggie | ye | 12:54 |
| Jazman_ | maybe try kubuntu | 12:54 |
| vibeseeker | i cant access those files and folders on the server because linux is running utf-8 afaik | 12:54 |
| hoggie | im on kubuntu | 12:54 |
| charlie | i'm just installed 8.04 and i want to use my radeon x1300 (i tried for ages on 7.10 but with no success) when i log in now i get a plain white screen, how can i fix this | 12:54 |
| crimsun | hoggie: because it was removed from Debian for non-maintainance and security issues. | 12:54 |
| hoggie | Yikes. | 12:54 |
| solrize | vibeseeker what should it be doing instead? | 12:54 |
| hoggie | hate all other irc clients. | 12:54 |
| extor | is it just me or does kde seem to have better default apps than gnome does? Like even the k-snapshot app is nice compared to the ghetto/gnome screenshot app | 12:55 |
| roxahris | Because I'm using a 64 bit processor, do I have to compile everything apart from packages myself? | 12:55 |
| Slart | hoggie: then get it from the source | 12:55 |
| cradle | Good afternoon. I have a little problem. Can U help me? | 12:55 |
| roxahris | I found KDE's stuff kinda... well, GNOME's was better. | 12:55 |
| solrize | http://www.bitchx.org/ | 12:55 |
| Slart | roxahris: nope.. there are 64bit binary packages available | 12:55 |
| solrize | hahaha see what it says about bitchx.com | 12:55 |
| roxahris | Well, for example... | 12:55 |
| vibeseeker | solrize: it should show the folders and the files on the server correctly with the special german characters, but instead it shows some cryptic characters | 12:55 |
| hoggie | slart: ye.. thats what im gonna do.. know about aNY good source sites? for these kind of tarballz? | 12:55 |
| solrize | that's like an ancient ircii fork, right? i can | 12:55 |
| extor | roxahris uhmm...I was particularly impressed by the KDE snapshot proggy, ever tried it? | 12:55 |
| solrize | can't believe anyone is using that | 12:55 |
| Slart | cradle: nope.. perhaps if you ask your question your chances might improve. =) | 12:55 |
| solrize | vibeseeker hmm is there a client setting for utf8? could it be trying to use latin-1 or something like that? | 12:56 |
| vibeseeker | i want to run the server for backups of my windows system | 12:56 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, utf-8 is unicode (i.e., _every_ special character :p); are you having problems viewing the files on the windows ftp server, or sharing them from ubuntu _to_ the windows box? | 12:56 |
| extor | for example what? | 12:56 |
| roxahris | I tried to install this Gens package from the forums, and it said "processor type not supported"... | 12:56 |
| Slart | hoggie: google for bitchx... should be a site out there | 12:56 |
| roxahris | extor: Nope... | 12:56 |
| solrize | hoggie, www.bitchx.org | 12:56 |
| hcoal | In Pidgin I get the error: Error connecting to messenger.hotmail.com:1863 (Connection refused). | 12:56 |
| hoggie | how un-thinkfull of me | 12:56 |
| hcoal | It works fine in Windows, can anyone help? | 12:56 |
| cradle | Slart: Ok. I have Ubuntu 7.04, woking at gnome. I have kopete messenger. Trouble: There is no sound in kopete | 12:57 |
| extor | roxahris boot up on a knoppix live CD and press print screen...you will be amazed | 12:57 |
| solrize | or bitchx.com who knows which he the real one, hee hee | 12:57 |
| Slart | cradle: no idea.. perhaps someone else knows | 12:57 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu, solrize: only smartftp works fine, but total commander or flashfxp which have a good synchronize tool dont work; in ubuntu, the characters are shown correctly if i browse the folders | 12:57 |
| roxahris | Can't I just log into KDE4 and press it? | 12:58 |
| solrize | try the configuration options for total commander and flashfxp (i'm guessing those are windows ftp clients) | 12:58 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, windows server or ubuntu server? | 12:58 |
| solrize | brb | 12:58 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu, solrize: the server (proftpd) runs on ubuntu | 12:58 |
| charlie | can someone please tell me how to reset the video settings? when i boot up my screen is a plain white screen | 12:58 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu, solrize: the client runs on windows | 12:58 |
| charlie | after i log in, that is | 12:58 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: any indea how to run that glx gears on screen | 12:58 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, smartftp is the only known windows ftp client that properly handles unicode | 12:59 |
| Se7h | hello, is there any way to fetch subtitles for my movies without having to go search for them n the web ? | 12:59 |
| cwillu | ferronica, type glxgears in a terminal | 12:59 |
| Slart | Se7h: nope | 12:59 |
| hoggie | thanks, and one more thing, im trying to use kubuntu, i was using ubuntu till now.. its like less friendly!! and from some reasons i cant manage to make 2 things happen, 1) the icon widget, im trying to make desktop shortcuts with it, but it doesnt accept any shortcut i feel in preferences of it, 2) im trying to make my lcd+laptop screen work together, and i dont find a way to do so, like nVidia settings and stuff... | 12:59 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu, solrize: so i would like proftpd not to handle unicode | 12:59 |
| hoggie | actually two more things :) | 12:59 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, in which case, talk to the proftpd people :p | 12:59 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: ok doner | 12:59 |
| Se7h | Slart would it be good to have that? | 12:59 |
| Slart | Se7h: sure.. it would be nice | 13:00 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu, solrize: instead it should handle my shared files and folders in another way so that i can use any client to view everything correctly | 13:00 |
| vibeseeker | hum | 13:00 |
| cgentry72 | I am using emerald and when a window is maximized, the buttons in the top right corner flickr when the mouse hovers. This only happens when the windows is maxed? any ideas why? | 13:00 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, you're not going to get the special characters though afaik | 13:00 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: but whenever i use visual effects - extra system crash | 13:00 |
| sortudo_78 | anyone knows a .deb pakage to teste internet connection ? | 13:00 |
| cwillu | ferronica, but regular visual effects work? | 13:01 |
| Slart | sortudo_78: ping is often used for testing | 13:01 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: yes | 13:01 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: ya normal works | 13:01 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: default effects | 13:01 |
| cwillu | ferronica_, then your card doesn't support extra. buy a different card, or stop wanting extra effects :p | 13:01 |
| Chase-san | Hello everyone. | 13:01 |
| sortudo_78 | thaks slart, but i need some graphics an some reporters | 13:01 |
| arvind_khadri | !enter | ferronica | 13:02 |
| ubottu | ferronica: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:02 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu: will changing default locale have any positive result? | 13:02 |
| sortudo_78 | thaks slart, but i need some graphics an some reporters | 13:02 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: but on same card i used compiz-fusion, beryl on ubuntu previous versions | 13:02 |
| Se7h | May i suggest "subdownloader" to download those subtitles, which has a simple cli interface | 13:02 |
| Slart | sortudo_78: planning on using it in some kind of enterprise enviroment? or.. why do you need pretty graphics? | 13:02 |
| cwillu | ferronica, you can install the other compiz control panel (forget what it's called) and turn on individual effects until you see which one crashes it, but that's all that I can suggest. Nobody in here can fix your video card not supporting some particular effect | 13:02 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, ubuntu's or proftpds? | 13:02 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, proftp, it _might_ | 13:03 |
| cgentry72 | I am using emerald and when a window is maximized, the buttons in the top right corner flickr when the mouse hovers. This only happens when the windows is maxed? any ideas why? | 13:03 |
| Slart | sortudo_78: or you need to test internet connection bandwidth, response time etc? | 13:03 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, pre-unicode character localization is a dark art I'm thankful to be able to ignore :) | 13:03 |
| charlie | please help me: i just enabled restricted video drivers for my ati radeon and now the screen is all garbled up. how do i fix this? | 13:03 |
| sortudo_78 | slart: yes | 13:03 |
| Chase-san | I did ask in the linux room but they seem rather dead, how would I install a firewall on a linux box setup to do ip forwarding to multiple different machines. | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | Chase-san, thats the 'ip-masquerading' howto. and related info. its not too hard to do. | 13:04 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, google :p | 13:04 |
| Se7h | publicity apart, Subdownloader needs some support on testing the program | 13:04 |
| ferronica_ | cwillu: ok | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | Chase-san, i hear some of the gui firewal tools can do it with a few clicks. | 13:04 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu: ok... thanks so far, i'll try to contact proftpd people | 13:04 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, honestly, finding a good tutorial would be the best bet | 13:04 |
| * solrize doesn't see anything about unicode in the proftpd docs | 13:04 | |
| hoggie | thanks, and one more thing, im trying to use kubuntu, i was using ubuntu till now.. its like less friendly!! and from some reasons i cant manage to make 2 things happen, 1) the icon widget, im trying to make desktop shortcuts with it, but it doesnt accept any shortcut i feel in preferences of it, 2) im trying to make my lcd+laptop screen work together, and i dont find a way to do so, like nVidia settings and stuff... any idea?? | 13:04 |
| cwillu | that sort of thing is a bit advanced and in depth for irc | 13:04 |
| Chase-san | Yah, sorry, I see people and people are ranked higher in intelligence then google | 13:04 |
| solrize | i suspect the windows clients expect to see windows-1252 or something like that | 13:04 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu: thats a bit annoying... before i ran a server on windows which worked properly | 13:04 |
| Chase-san | I'll find that tutorial though | 13:04 |
| solrize | vibeseeker take a look at the wikipedia article on unicode to see the scale of mess that you're dealing with... | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | Chase-san, i belive theres a ubuntu ip-masq or share internet connection howto/wiki page also | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | !ipmasq | 13:05 |
| ubottu | Factoid ipmasq not found | 13:05 |
| Chase-san | oh no, ip-masq, no its not a NAT setup, just a routing, would I have to use a NAt setup to firewall it? | 13:05 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, only because both boxes were thinking that ascii codes 128-255 mean german, instead of one of a dozen other possible meanings | 13:05 |
| Slart | Chase-san: it's a very common setup.. there must be hundreds of tutorials out there.. all pretty much the same .. the routing is done via ip tables.. | 13:05 |
| === _t00r is now known as t00r | ||
| Dr_willis | ip-masq gets other machines to the internet through the masqing server | 13:05 |
| cwillu | vibeseeker, http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html if you really want to know :p | 13:06 |
| Chase-san | but doesn't that require it to be NATed? | 13:06 |
| vibeseeker | ok thanks :) | 13:06 |
| sortudo_78 | slart: i need to prove that my connection is instable to my isp ! | 13:06 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, do you have more than one ip, or the ability to set routes upstream? | 13:06 |
| charlie | is it possible to use two screens from a radeon video card in ubuntu? | 13:06 |
| cwillu | charlie, yes, although not super easily out of the box | 13:06 |
| Alath | Hello. I'm having a few issues with Ubuntu, but one of em is extremely weird. If I try to connect to my router via wireless adaptor while in Ubuntu.. it causes my Router/Modem to restart. It literally shuts off and on. In Windows i dont have this problem. Make sense at all? I tried removing encryptions and stuff so it would just need to connect simply. | 13:07 |
| === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||
| cwillu | charlie, I don't have the config handy for it any more, but googling for '''xrandr radeon mergedfb''' should get you an appropriate tutorial | 13:07 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, I might be setting up a dhcp server on the box, and this will be the end internet access point for the entire network, abiet a rather small network | 13:07 |
| Slart | sortudo_78: anything you produce can be falsified.. you might as well write down ping times from a quake server on a notepad | 13:07 |
| Chase-san | most of the boxes connected will be windows | 13:07 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, what type of internet connection? | 13:07 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu: do you know a tool which automatically converts files and folders with special characters? | 13:07 |
| Steph-N | Morning all. | 13:08 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, dsl modem | 13:08 |
| charlie | ill try that, thanks cwillu | 13:08 |
| Slart | sortudo_78: there are many bandwidth testers out there on the net.. some use flash, some use java, some you have to download | 13:08 |
| KnopSUf | what would be a good choice for a simple ftp server? | 13:08 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, okay, you need to do masq or nat | 13:08 |
| l3dx | What's the "status" for automatic upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? Are there any big risks? | 13:08 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, i.e., what ip range where you using? | 13:08 |
| vibeseeker | cwillu: with the result that there are no more files and folders with special characters on my system so that there are no mor eproblems | 13:08 |
| sortudo_78 | slart: ok i will try ping, thanks very much | 13:08 |
| cwillu | l3dx, if you're not in a hurry to see the latest and greatest, wait for 8.04.1 (aka 8.06, although I'm the only one who calls it that :p) | 13:09 |

| Steph-N | Has anyone run into anything with Ubuntu that would cause they're hard drive light to constantly stay on? | 13:09 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, if you can spend a hundred bucks, I'd strongly suggest buying a wrt54gl and being done with it :p | 13:09 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, not an option i'm afraid. | 13:10 |
| l3dx | cwillu, I'm not in a hurry. Just curious :) But I don't wanna risk spending rest of the weekend getting my system up before work on monday :) | 13:10 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, lack of money, or lack of features? | 13:10 |

| cwillu | Chase-san, did you get that? | 13:16 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, the nat bit? | 13:16 |
| Alath | Tim, when I try to connect. It causes my entire modem/router to shut off. | 13:16 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, yah | 13:16 |
| danbhfive | !tab > TimMatrix use tabs to types names, makes everyone's life easier | 13:16 |
| luke_a | does anyone know how to add a UTC based clock under 'locations' in the clock applet in hardy? | 13:17 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, so that tut covers firewalling aswell | 13:17 |
| Alath | Thus the connection to the internet does not work. | 13:17 |
| Alath | If I connect wired.. ethernet. I'm fine of course. | 13:17 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, nat is basically a firewall to begin with | 13:17 |
| empty_foo | woot! about to begin install on dell inspiron 1300 with bcm43xx | 13:17 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, so it should | 13:17 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, thanks | 13:17 |
| cwillu | np | 13:17 |
| Wolf23 | helpers, i got from here -> growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img , --> :-( unable to open64("/dev/dvd/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img",O_RDONLY): No such file or directory | 13:17 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, I might have another question, but thats it for now, don't wanna push the limits of the technology to much. | 13:18 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, just remember: default-deny is your friend | 13:18 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, what's the other question? | 13:18 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, default-deny? | 13:18 |
| Slart | Wolf23: you can't open a file like that.. from a device | 13:18 |
| Alath | On top of the wireless connection being quite weird. The touch pad and built in keyboard doesn't work. Even though it worked on the Live CD run. | 13:18 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, thats a new one to me. | 13:18 |
| Slart | Wolf23: you have to mount the device somewhere | 13:18 |
| busungen | someone knows somethign about tacitcal ops in wine | 13:18 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, it's a mindframe | 13:18 |
| TimMatrix | Alath: Okay, but that does not address the issue. My wife is fed up with Windows Vista and wants to have a try on Ubuntu. So, I have made a dual-boot, just in case. I'm now running Ubuntu 8.04 on this laptop, but the internet connection is via Ethernet. As this laptop cannot see Wireless Device, despite this laptop does have wireless capability as it has been used when under Vista. | 13:18 |
| Wolf23 | Slart: how can i do that ? | 13:19 |
| cwillu | Chase-san, don't filter out bad. Block everything, and filter out good | 13:19 |
| Slart | Wolf23: see that first part of the path-.. /dev/dvd... that's a device.. not where the files are stored | 13:19 |
| hcoal_ | Can anyone help with a "Connection Refused" error I get when trying to logon to MSN messenger using pidgin/amsn? | 13:19 |
| Slart | Wolf23: find out where the dvd is mounted.. probably /media/dvd or something like that | 13:19 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, what wireless chipset? | 13:19 |
| Chase-san | cwillu, yah that seems the most secure | 13:19 |
| Alath | Well, I hate Vista too. I'll probably just downgrade to XP. However, the issue of wireless network for you is that the driver is missing or not enabled. Something along those lines. | 13:20 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: HOw do I find that out? | 13:20 |
| Wolf23 | Slart: how can i find this friend? just tell me coz i am newbie | 13:20 |
| Slart | Wolf23: oh.. wow.. I need coffee.. I didn't read properly.. | 13:20 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, lspci | grep -i net | 13:20 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, pastebin the output of that | 13:20 |
| Alath | Ubuntu detects USB devices and their drivers.. but apparently not the crap built in with my laptop. I assume its probably the same issue for you too. | 13:20 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | TimMatrix | 13:20 |
| ubottu | TimMatrix: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 13:20 |
| Slart | Wolf23: but something is wrong with that command line.. where did you find it? | 13:20 |
| southafrikanse | hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu hardy. I have only sound when I put my headphones | 13:21 |
| Wolf23 | Slart: i read it from a website | 13:21 |
| Slart | Wolf23: aha.. read that website again.. closely.. check for typos etc | 13:21 |
| Wolf23 | Slart: i lost that site :( , so i connect to here to get a help | 13:22 |
| sortudo_78 | i would like to help somebody, has anybody hare that wants to know sonthing that i know how to explain? | 13:22 |
| clee-saan | hi, i can't select a resolution bigger than 800x600 anymore, although i usually use 1024*780 and it works just fine. | 13:22 |
| sortudo_78 | kkk | 13:22 |

| Slart | Wolf23: well.. I've never used growisofs.. use google or ask the room again. | 13:22 |
| sidewalk | how do i setup which directory to be shown as "Desktop" ? | 13:23 |
| Wolf23 | Slart: ok | 13:23 |
| sidewalk | using gnome | 13:23 |
| window_cleaner | clee-saan pastebin your xorg.conf | 13:23 |
| clee-saan | window_cleaner: okay, where do i find my xorg.conf ? | 13:23 |
| Wolf23 | helpers, can anyone help me for this please!!! -> growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img , --> :-( unable to open64("/dev/dvd/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img",O_RDONLY): No such file or directory | 13:23 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: Sorry, should have used Ubuntu's pastebin. DO you want me to do this again? | 13:24 |
| window_cleaner | clee-saan /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be it | 13:24 |
| alado2 | is it possible to make xubuntu to copy files in an alphabetical order? right now it seems pretty random, for example if i highlight 20 files | 13:24 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, no, that's fine | 13:24 |
| feaks | Hi, I have a small problem. My Desktop is randomly not loading. I can "fix" this easily by relogging or doing a gdm restart. Is it a "known bug" or something ? (i didn't find anything on the forums) | 13:24 |
| alado2 | copy them to another folder, for example my mp3 player | 13:24 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, do you have an eletronic board'ish looking icon near the clock? | 13:24 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, sbackup fucked up my drive.......... | 13:25 |
| clee-saan | window_cleaner: to pastebin something means to delete it, right ? | 13:25 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, its 100percent full now while i only tried to make a backup over ssh | 13:25 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | clee-saan, | 13:25 |
| ubottu | clee-saan,: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 13:25 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, any suggerstions? | 13:25 |
| feaks | (by Desktop not loading i mean, no icons, no background, no right clic on the background, no nothing...) | 13:25 |
| clee-saan | oh | 13:25 |
| clee-saan | yeah | 13:25 |
| clee-saan | phew | 13:25 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: Yes, two terminals looking. Cos it's connected via Ethernet. But when I click the icon, it shows only two things: Wired Network and Configuration. THat's it. No wireless. | 13:25 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: what happerned and please watch language | 13:25 |
| nonozone | ? | 13:26 |
| roxahris | I'm trying to compile Gens, but it won't make! | 13:26 |
| clee-saan | window_cleaner: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9739/ here it is | 13:26 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, go to System | Administration | Driver Setup | 13:26 |
| roxahris | I mean, make won't work! I keep getting errors! | 13:26 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: Okay. | 13:26 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, if it shows up in there, just follow the prompts and reboot | 13:26 |
| xazax | hi | 13:27 |
| Alath | I'd ask my ISP for help with this issue but I doubt they know much about Ubuntu. | 13:27 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, you recommended sbackup to me last night to backup the disk of my old comp to my new comp, it seemed nice, i ONLY tried the option with ssh, it didnt work and my old harddrive is COMPLETELY full | 13:27 |
| dutch201 | my nautilus closes and restarts if i select list view, anyone know where to look? | 13:27 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, so sbackup successfully made it impossible to login ! | 13:27 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, its the worst software i've ever ever seen | 13:27 |
| southafrikanse | hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu hardy. I have only sound when I put my headphones | 13:28 |
| roxahris | Can anyone help? | 13:28 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, i dunno where to look for the data or anything,m i didnt set it up to backup on my harddisk | 13:28 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: what did you do? what instructions did you follow | 13:28 |
| feaks | so, anyone ever heard of this no desktop/black background random issue? (i know at least one other person with the same problem, both compiz and nvidia users) | 13:28 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: INteresting... IT says that Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) is enabled and the status is "In Use". Also, there's another entry that reads: Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards which is enabled, and the status says "In Use". | 13:28 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, sbackup is kindof self-explaining i just used the ssh option, filledi n correct ip, user and pass, pressed the test button, and pressed backup now | 13:28 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, directory to backup being / | 13:29 |
| dutch201 | I need some help: my nautilus closes and restarts if i select list view, anyone know where to look? | 13:29 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: rebooting won't have any effect. still cannot see wireless device. | 13:29 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: please show the instructions you used | 13:29 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, none, ffs | 13:29 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: you did it without fully understanding how to use it? | 13:30 |
| Alath | I don't mind waiting, but I would like to know in advance if my issue sounds familiar in anyway. If it sounds fixable or w/e. Wireless router thats built in does not operate, neither does the keyboard and mouse. When I plug a USB network adaptor in, since USB devices work.. and try to connect to the internet with that.. the connection loads and loads. If I watch my modem/router lights while i attempt to connect.. the thing shuts off.. power li | 13:30 |
| clee-saan | can anyone tell me why i can't use a res bigger than 800*600 (though 1024*740 used to work just fine) anymore ? Here's a pastebin of xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9739/ | 13:30 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, not at all i fully understand it | 13:30 |
| trebaruna | I'd like to get a backup script to run daily and output to a (custom) log. Anacron seems to work but the output function does not work. Cron works and gives output, but will only run if the machine is on at the specified time. Any way to make it fully work? | 13:30 |
| cwillu | Ward1983, where did you tell it to back up to? | 13:30 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, i read every tab from the GUI, and it was very clear to me, so i tried backupping over ssh with it | 13:30 |
| che__ | attempt to connect.. the thing shuts ff | 13:31 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, can you pastebin the output of dmesg? | 13:31 |
| Alath | Yes | 13:31 |
| Ward1983 | cwillu, ward:mypassword@192.168.2.5/mydirectory | 13:31 |
| Alath | The router shuts off if i try to connect in Ubuntu | 13:31 |
| Ward1983 | cwillu, 192.168.2.5 being the new comp | 13:31 |
| arehm | allrighty then. had vbox working fine. got silly and updated video drivers, enabled desktop effects and tried to get compwiz working. then found out when i booted xp up under vbox all i saw was black. When i close vbox's vm, i can see that windows is running, but if i hit cancel i'm back to a black screen. switched out of compwiz, no change, tried to (think i succeeded) uninstall the new video drivers, same problem. suggestions? | 13:31 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: what command should I use with dmesg? | 13:31 |
| Alath | its a 2Wire Modem and Router. | 13:31 |
| dutch201 | dmesg is a command | 13:32 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, just type dmesg > ~/dmesg-output , and then upload that file | 13:32 |
| Alath | 1700hw i believe | 13:32 |
| cwillu | Ward1983, sorry, 192.168.2.5 was the target? | 13:32 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, so no suggestions? | 13:32 |
| dutch201 | my nautilus closes and restarts if i select list view, anyone know where to look? | 13:32 |
| window_cleaner | clee-saan I can only suggest you reconfigure your xserver: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:32 |
| Ward1983 | cwillu, ward:mypassword@192.168.2.5/mydirectory | 13:33 |
| Alath | I would like to make use of a Linux OS such as Ubuntu since the processor in this machine is a piece of trash Celeron. | 13:33 |
| cwillu | Ward1983, ... | 13:33 |
| cwillu | Ward1983, that was the target or the source? | 13:33 |
| Alath | Vista kills this laptop. Just having a video chat on the internet.. or voice chat even.. can lag this machine. It is pathetic | 13:33 |
| Ward1983 | cwillu, the target offcourse :s | 13:33 |
| marines[testy] | hi there | 13:33 |

| TimMatrix | cwillu: as I am not familiar with CLI, the terminal came up with a response: bash: /home/tim: Is a directory | 13:34 |
| roxahris | I'm trying to compile Gens, but make gets a lot of errors.. can anyone help? I've pastebin'd the output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9740/ | 13:34 |
| Alath | If I don't run anything, Vista is still a slow crappy OS. Its always running crap that im not using. | 13:34 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, what did you type exactly? | 13:34 |
| Ward1983 | where does sbackup place its stuff standard because i have no clue where to ge and look for it | 13:34 |
| Toaster` | Morning all. Is there a way to see what libs an executable file is calling? I need to see if I have to acquire different ones for a program that used to run in 7.10 but doesn't in 8.04. | 13:34 |
| TimMatrix | exactly the same as you told me: dmesg > ~>/dmesg-output | 13:34 |
| cwillu | dmesg > ~/dmesg-output | 13:35 |
| marines | could you answer me on one question? what contains dvd edition of hardy? | 13:35 |
| cwillu | one two many >'s | 13:35 |
| cwillu | too | 13:35 |
| dutch201 | tim lose the second less then | 13:35 |
| Alath | Now I know Ubuntu can be useful for my basic usage. Thus eliminating how often i have to use Windows if any. But if I'm unable to use the built in keyboard/touchpad & wireless adaptor. As well as having issues connecting with a working wireless adaptor. Then where does this leave me eh? | 13:36 |
| john_doe | I keep getting corrupt packages on the i386 alternate cd. The md5 sum is ok. any known issues? | 13:36 |
| Alath | I don't even know if the issues | 13:36 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: done. So, I open that file on my home directory, cut and paste it to pastebin? | 13:36 |
| Alath | If the issues im having, are resolvable. | 13:36 |
| roxahris | Can anyone help me? Or do I need to go elsewhere? | 13:36 |
| Alath | Things could be too proprietory. | 13:36 |
| cwillu | Ward1983, how much data was on the original machine? (df -h will tell you) | 13:37 |
| AS-1 | What do you need | 13:37 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, yes | 13:37 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: Okay, stand by..... | 13:37 |
| tonyyarusso | roxahris: what's Gens? | 13:37 |
| Skiessi | !info libgsl0 | 13:37 |
| ubottu | Package libgsl0 does not exist in hardy | 13:37 |
| roxahris | Genesis emulator, | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | roxahris, have you ever compiled anything under linux/ubuntu befor? | 13:37 |
| roxahris | Yep. | 13:38 |
| tonyyarusso | roxahris: ah. Well, it is possible that that particular program is still 32-bit only, but the things in the repos you won't need to worry about. | 13:38 |
| AS-1 | Byeeee | 13:38 |
| bergquist | I have a problem with heron... if I close my laptop lid on my X60 the backlight turns off and all that, but when I open the lid again the LCD screen is completely turned off... and yes, I've googled.. I usually find what I am looking for but not this time | 13:38 |
| arehm | anyone up for some vbox help? | 13:38 |
| roxahris | Oh, okay. The thing is, I can't find it in the repos... | 13:38 |
| * roxahris goes to look | 13:38 | |
| tonyyarusso | roxahris: Check the README and such for Gens and see if it mentions supported archs. | 13:38 |
| cwillu | Ward1983, /mydirectory should be where it wrote everything, if that's what you specified | 13:38 |
| dutch201 | my nautilus closes and restarts if i select list view, anyone know where to look? | 13:39 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9741/ | 13:39 |
| roxahris | doesn't say anything about arches | 13:39 |
| Dr_willis | roxahris, You are not on a 64bit disrto are you? You might want to check the Gens webpage/forums also. | 13:39 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, one sec | 13:39 |
| bergquist | arehm: what do u need? | 13:39 |
| roxahris | I think it's 64bit, yeah. | 13:39 |
| Alath | Is the issue I'm having already covered in documentation, because apparently I'm being avoided like I'm asking something dumb. | 13:39 |
| marines | anybody? | 13:40 |
| roxahris | But everything else has compiled... | 13:40 |
| chell | how do I figure out which sound device my USB headset is? | 13:40 |
| European-African | he, just installed nvidia-glx-new from restricted devices, if I am to install envy do i have to uninstall the driver I have already got? | 13:40 |

| Dr_willis | roxahris, a lot of emulators use assembly code for some parts. thats not very portable from 64 to 32bit disrtos. | 13:40 |
| Lynet | roxahris: "cast from pointer to integer of different size | 13:40 |
| Dr_willis | roxahris, this sounds like your issue. | 13:40 |
| Lynet | roxahris: That sounds like a 32bit/64bit issue to me. | 13:40 |
| sidewalk | i have two disks under ubuntu which occassionally change /dev/devicename with eachother | 13:40 |
| sidewalk | how do i setup these in a good way for /etc/fstab ? | 13:40 |

| bergquist | arehm: what gfx card? | 13:40 |
| ubuntu156 | i tried to install grub onto the MBR, but no luck | 13:40 |

| cwillu | sidewalk, don't use device names to mount things | 13:41 |
| arehm | bergquist, to be clear, it did work fine before i screwed with it this morning | 13:41 |
| BluntBox | sidewalk: use there UUIDs "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" and use them in fstab instead of the /dev/whatever mountpoints | 13:41 |
| cwillu | sidewalk, use uuids | 13:41 |
| bergquist | arehm: hardy or gutsy? | 13:41 |
| roxahris | So there's no way I can get Gens on here? | 13:41 |
| arehm | hardy | 13:41 |
| Lynet | roxahris: I'd ask on the forum/mailing list for the program and ask if it is known to complile ok on 64bit. | 13:42 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: so what should we do next? | 13:42 |
| roxahris | Hmm, okay. | 13:42 |
| cwillu | sce | 13:42 |
| cwillu | sec | 13:42 |
| sidewalk | cwillu: how do i setup uuids? | 13:42 |

| Alath | Ok I'm just wondering. What is the point of this IRC channel? Does anyone get anything out of helping people here or is this all free voluntary labor? I'm just curious? | 13:42 |

| cwillu | Alath, afaik, all volunteer | 13:42 |
| Toaster` | bergquist: Awesome, thanks | 13:43 |
| cwillu | Alath, there might be devs around who get paid, but I don't think anybody is actually paid to be here | 13:43 |
| bergquist | Toaster`: np | 13:43 |
| Alath | So what do I have to do to find someone helpful? | 13:43 |
| Alath | Sell my ass? <_< | 13:43 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, you aren't on an eeepc by any chance? | 13:43 |
| Dr_willis | roxahris, you may want to check out some of the other sega emulators out there. or run gens windows version with wine perhaps | 13:43 |
| ubuntu156 | i have 2 hdd's -- windows xp on the primary (/dev/sda) and ubuntu on the secondary (/dev/sdb) | 13:43 |

| TimMatrix | Nope. It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 Laptop. | 13:44 |
| ubuntu156 | could someone help on that ^^ -- i tried various forum links | 13:44 |
| ruudboy | I need winXP installed next to Ubuntu. I guess it will mess up the MBR when I do. What is the easiest way to get the grub back after I installed XP? | 13:44 |
| Ward1983 | cwillu, since sbackup did stuff i didnt set it up for i dont know where the @$#@$@ data is | 13:44 |

I put together the necessary files piece by piece over the last 2-3 days. Just now, my smb.conf file passed the "hdparm" test and I was sure it was too good to be true, but I restarted and gave accessing the share from my windows laptop a try and it worked the _very_first_time_ - I am overjoyed. | 13:44 |

| Grandia | what's LTS in the release name stand for? | 14:10 |
| pajamian | !lts | 14:10 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 14:10 |
| ubuntu156 | "let them sleep" the devs that is... :P | 14:10 |

| bazhang | alath in the properties of the device? take a look around--> you are the windows user correct? | 14:11 |
| pajamian | Saint`Dia: yes | 14:11 |
| Dr_willis | Saint`Dia, the isofuse (or was it fuseiso) tool lets you do that rather easially.. and its easy to do just .iso also. | 14:12 |

| cwillu | Alath, (not meaning to flame here) most wireless cards don't have firmware that's available for a linux hacker to player with, precisely because manufacturers are afraid that a rogue user would go and cause routers to die like that. If a router is dying on connection, it's the routers fault. | 14:12 |
| Alath | And tell me | 14:13 |

| ubuntu156 | most likely router probs... | 14:13 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, never mind it worked this time, apperantly its needed to do save configuration first :) | 14:13 |
| charlie_ | is resizing a partition very risky? | 14:13 |
| Alath | How is a router issue going to exist only with Linux, in one type of connection? | 14:14 |
| selocol | charlie_: backup your files first and defragment before resizing | 14:14 |
| ubuntu156 | no that risky, so backup first before you proceed | 14:14 |
| Alath | Sounds like the router has a mind of its own and is being selective.. | 14:14 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, lol great response to ubuntulover | 14:14 |
| cwillu | Alath, can you please try forcing the router's wireless speed to a particular speed? (5mb or so) | 14:14 |
| Alath | Or maybe i didnt get the answer i needed. | 14:14 |
| bazhang | Ward1983: ah good. was worried for a second. | 14:14 |
| jim | Charlie it can be , | 14:14 |
| Alath | And how would I do thaat? | 14:14 |
| Saint`Dia | I need to mount a .bin or .cue file, How can I do that, -not- .iso | 14:14 |
| pajamian | cwillu: Alath: also has to do with how some wifi cards have the technical capability to be operated outside the frequency and power ranges they are licensed for and the firmware limits that operating range, so the manufacturer wants to keep people from modifying the firmware because thier lawyers think that to allow someone to do so could put the manufacturer in violation of law. | 14:15 |

| ubottu | TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 14:19 |

| Dr_willis | I thought one had to specifically enable tor/privoxy for specific apps.. How can the apt-get stuff be using it by default? | 14:20 |
| magnetron | moDumass: you entered the proxy in System > Preferences > network proxies, right? | 14:20 |
| Alath | Its probably 2004-2005. | 14:20 |
| feaks | Small problem : My Desktop is randomly not loading on boot (no icons, no wallpaper, black background..) everything else works just fine. I can "fix" this with a relog or a gdm restart but i'd like to know if anyone ever heard of this before ? (i know at least one other person with the same problem, uses compiz and nvidia as me) | 14:20 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: I wanna say summat to you..... | 14:20 |
| moDumass | magnetron i did indeed | 14:20 |
| ubuntu156 | say i want to install linux on a secondary harddisk, i have windows on a primary hdd already installed. during installation of linux, where should i install the grub boot loader, also, is it necessary to create a /boot partition in such a case? | 14:20 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, say wha? | 14:20 |

| magnetron | moDumass: i mean, the update service tries to use that proxy. ie tor | 14:20 |
| amenado | ubuntu156-> on same partition where ubuntu is installed, not necessarily on the mbr | 14:20 |
| European-African | could someone help me, installed 7.04 ubuntu, upgraded to 2.6.20-16-generic from 2.6.20-15-generic, updated to 7.10 which then installed 2.6.20-14-generic! is that right? | 14:21 |
| magnetron | moDumass: i set the proxy settings per application instead | 14:21 |
| ubuntu156 | amenado: i tried that, but the grub splash does not appear and boots straight into windows | 14:21 |
| Ward1983 | bazhang, not that i can see no | 14:21 |
| moDumass | magnetron yes | 14:21 |
| cwillu | Alath, oooo, 1000 series, that could possibly be it :) | 14:21 |
| moDumass | magnetron so how do i set system update to bypass the proxy or at least use the proxy? | 14:21 |
| amenado | ubuntu156-> thats because you have not modified your menu.lst correctly and also you have to make sure the matching device.map is okay | 14:21 |
| ferronica | how do i add window on hardy heron GRUB? | 14:22 |

| gop | wow | 14:24 |
| Alath | cwillu, how about the other issue. The firmware. How do I install or run that package thing? If I can get the devices working, i can probably just get my ISP to handle the internet crap if it is indeed the router. | 14:24 |
| gop | scizzo- how are you acessing it ??? | 14:25 |

| Slart | EugZol_: or just use GIMP | 14:26 |
| stib | Hi all. Trying to install Hardy on an old laptop (compaq armada, I think it's a pentium III) and the installer hangs while "configuring system locales". Any clues? | 14:26 |

| umbrualbert | msingh....smb file sharing for me to | 14:27 |
| Lynet | gop: Hmm, looks like they have a dns issue, can't resolve youtube.com or www.youtube.com here. | 14:27 |
| moDumass | magnetron, in synaptic i set network to "direct connect to the internet" and its still throwing its toys | 14:27 |
| cwillu | umbrualbert, you need to run the server kernel | 14:27 |
| scizzo- | gop: and see if you can access that....also is it actually the site or the vids? | 14:27 |
| gop | Lynet wow | 14:27 |
| cwillu | umbrualbert, it'll still only report 3gb, but it will use 4gb (just 3gb max per process) | 14:27 |
| EugZol_ | Slart: I'm using these now. But I have no pleasure while using Gimp for such tasks. Something lightweight could be better :-( | 14:27 |

| Alath | ok | 14:28 |

| cwillu | umbrualbert, if you _must_ have actual mounts, use cifs (same protocol) | 14:32 |
| jenda | pajamian: nevermind - they seem to be rather unavailable on the Czech market :) | 14:32 |

| cwillu | umbrualbert, but if it's just for desktop use, then just use gnome urls | 14:32 |
| kokito | hi how i get install moblock on linux ubuntu 8.04 ?? amd64 bit | 14:32 |
| cwillu | Alath, System | administration | synaptic package manager, find b43-fwcutter, install it, follow the prompts :p | 14:32 |

| Alath | ok ty | 14:32 |

| msingh | umbrualbert, they removed shares-manager and replaced it with nautilus-share .. which doesnt work .. what a great move :P | 14:34 |
| BoltClock | hi, for some reason, in my hardy install, sounds in flash player always fall out of sync of the movie even from the beginning | 14:35 |
| cwillu | msingh, shares-manager had it's share of issues :p | 14:35 |
| msingh | it worked though | 14:35 |
| msingh | hardy is seriously retarded.. a lot of stuff i cannot do because i am not root .. and because i am not root it wont even let me see those things i cannot do | 14:36 |
| take0n | hello people | 14:36 |
| cwillu | BoltClock, short answer, wait a couple months; sound and flash right now are in a bad state | 14:36 |
| jrib | msingh: can you be more specific...? | 14:36 |
| cwillu | msingh, sudo? | 14:36 |
| msingh | jrib, like shares. | 14:36 |
| jrib | msingh: you know about sudo? | 14:36 |
| BoltClock | cwillu: bad state? | 14:36 |
| msingh | cwillu, sudo doesnt help because i am not logged in graphically as root, am i? sudo is for terminal | 14:36 |
| jrib | msingh: you are talking about samba? | 14:36 |
| msingh | jrib, atm, yeah | 14:37 |
| pajamian | msingh: gksudo, then | 14:37 |
| European-African | jrib: ok have done. | 14:37 |
| cwillu | msingh, I hope we're not talknig about the unlock buttons, they're an improvement over not being able to run the tool except as root in the first place | 14:37 |
| jrib | msingh: have you seen the wiki guide on setting it up? | 14:37 |
| judgepg | folks, anyone know the recommended practice into what folder usplash themes should be put? Into the home or otherwise? | 14:37 |

| take0n | I have a router with 3 computers connected on it. I always had an internal IP 192.168.1.4 where I have set different port settings etc. How do I set my internal IP on ubuntu 7.10 to 192.168.1.4 so that it can listen to the different ports I have set on my router? | 14:37 |
| msingh | pajamian, you miss the point. if the menus dont show non-user items them gsudo doesnt help | 14:37 |
| European-African | jrib: yes | 14:37 |
| jrib | European-African: link? | 14:37 |
| cwillu | msingh, you can run gksu <command name> to run any graphical app as root, and any admin tool in the menus' that needs root handles it already | 14:37 |
| European-African | http://pastebin.com/m3d57eca9 | 14:37 |
| msingh | jrib, why should i need a wiki guide now when i didnt need one before in 7.10? that's not an improvement that's a step or 10 backwards | 14:37 |
| amenado | take0n-> you use static ip addresssing.. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 something like this | 14:38 |
| pajamian | msingh: what menu and what non-user item do you want to be able to see? | 14:38 |
| msingh | Cwillu, doesnt matter man.. i can run any app as root. you're missing the point | 14:38 |
| cwillu | BoltClock, adobe's flashplayer has a nasty bug that crashes firefox once in a while if we turn on the proper audio support for it | 14:38 |
| msingh | pajamian, sharing stuff | 14:38 |
| cwillu | msingh, ubuntu doesn't hide menu options based on the user | 14:38 |
| pajamian | msingh: can you be more specific? | 14:38 |
| jrib | msingh: if you want to discuss usability issues, that's for the bug tracker. If you want support with an issue, then I can try to give you links so that you can accomplish what you are trying to do | 14:38 |
| BoltClock | cwillu: think i should switch to another, like gnash? | 14:38 |
| cwillu | BoltClock, well, gnash has its share of issues (although those may improve really quick now that adobe opened the flash specs) | 14:39 |

| European-African | jrib: ok thanx | 14:40 |
| pajamian | msingh: my shared directories work just fine in hardy. | 14:40 |
| cwillu | msingh, (sorry if you already tried this); in nautilus, if you right click a folder in your home directory, does Sharing Options show up? | 14:40 |
| msingh | jrib, that document was last edited in february. before hardy. like i said. | 14:40 |

| amenado | balle_-> it attempts to control your network management.. | 14:41 |
| stib | bazhang: no, but I did check the CD after the first attempt failed | 14:41 |
| cwillu | msingh, in your home directory? | 14:41 |
| jrib | European-African: if it is installed, just make sure you are selecting that one from grub | 14:41 |
| balle_ | bazhang: and logs on it self and stuff like that? | 14:41 |
| wolfwalker | Wow........... I'll come back later when it's not so busy. o.O | 14:41 |
| take0n | I have another question. How do I browse to a folder (not through terminal but through nautilous (I think it's called) with root permissions? I have installed apache but when I browse to var/www I have no permission creating or deleting files... | 14:41 |
| bazhang | balle_: not sure what you mean by stuff like that --could you clarify please | 14:41 |
| msingh | Cwillu, well the stupid thing here is that i cannto enable sharing as a user -- i have to be root -- but there is no way in nautilus to say, i want to be root now to enable this share | 14:41 |
| openuser | amenado: and there's no a gui app, I'm saying it because the computer will be used by a person who doesn't know so much about computers | 14:42 |

| bazhang | stib you might consider fluxbuntu (fully configured flux, not flux on top of ubuntu added) is much lighter | 14:49 |
| cwillu | msingh, because gnome-vfs was broken in far worse ways | 14:49 |

| cwillu | Jokka, dpkg is more of a behind the scenes thing (kinda sorta); use synaptic and apt-get to do your package management | 15:02 |

| Wyzard | bhsx: I've run the VMware Server 2.0 beta | 15:02 |
| trident523 | John_S: If you want an indexer, tracker works well. | 15:02 |
| cwillu | Jokka, dpkg-reconfigure <packagename> <-plow (optionally)> will give you a bunch of configuration options, although most of them can also be set via /etc or the admin menus | 15:02 |
| cwillu | Jokka, don't kill the package manager while it's running :p | 15:03 |
| bhsx | yeah beta 2 sucks, but that's the only one i can get to install | 15:03 |
| cwillu | Jokka, just run dpkg --configure -a, and it'll finish where it left off | 15:03 |
| John_S | amenado: Thanks, I know how to do it with find, but I'm looking for a GUI. :) | 15:03 |
| Jokka | kk | 15:03 |

| bazhang | Stormcr0w: about what-->specify please | 15:04 |
| cwillu | John_S, there should be an option "Show hidden and backup files" | 15:04 |
| dubby | amenado bazhang: gcj was the "preferred package" | 15:04 |
| dubby | according to synaptic | 15:04 |

| Stormcr0w | bazhang: When I asked regarding known issues when installing on a USB drive | 15:04 |
| trident523 | !hi | alex1990 | 15:04 |
| ubottu | alex1990: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:04 |
| alex1990 | it is my first time | 15:05 |
| Stormcr0w | bazhang: I have got an external USB enclosure with a SATA drive running within. | 15:05 |
| cwillu | !ask | 15:05 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 15:05 |
| John_S | cwillu: Yes, but even when I enable that, it still won't search in my .folders. | 15:05 |
| amenado | dubby-> i'd change that to sun java, preferred java by adobe is sun java | 15:05 |
| Stormcr0w | bazhang: I intend to install Ubuntu on it | 15:05 |
| cwillu | John_S, :/ you're right | 15:05 |
| bazhang | Stormcr0w: I asked then about usb key (pendrive) or hdd (hard disk drive), as both are possible | 15:05 |
| Stormcr0w | bazhang: Ah ok. | 15:05 |
| bazhang | Stormcr0w: some of the usb keys (pendrives) are 16GB now ;] | 15:05 |
| John_S | cwillu: Must be a bug. Wish they would fix it! | 15:05 |
| cwillu | John_S, I think tracker has an option to handle that, but I don't know for sure (not running it right now) | 15:05 |
| alex1990 | i:( | 15:06 |
| Stormcr0w | bazhang: Of course... No, it is an actual SATA drive within a USB interfaced enclosure | 15:06 |
| babolat | alex1990: just go ask it and if someone knows, they'll answer | 15:06 |
| John_S | cwillu: Yes, trident523 recommended tracker, I'm going to give it a try. | 15:06 |

| foxhop | alex1990 wrong | 15:06 |

| cwillu | John_S, select more options | and select show hidden and backup files. And then (important!) hit the add button :p | 15:09 |
| bazhang | Stormcr0w: should be allright let me find a link | 15:09 |

| TimMatrix | right, my wife is happy that Ubuntu now works on wireless and wants me to get rid of Vista (I'm happy she said that!). Before I do this, I have set up another user name for my wife. She's on a limited user, as don't want her to tinker with Ubuntu in administration mode as yet. Having said that. I wanted to test whether upon powering up Ubuntu, logged in her name/password and the wireless should automatically connect to the internet. It did not. You ha | 15:10 |
| msingh | trident523, not officially supported. | 15:10 |
| cwillu | fluidd, deluge is a nice polished client without the peakiness problems of transmission | 15:10 |

| cwillu | TimMatrix, honestly, it'll probaby be fine to give her an admin account (it'll always ask for her password anyway, so it's very clear when you're getting into stuff that you're likely to break) | 15:11 |

| imaginativeone | how do I add korganizer to my Application Menu? | 15:12 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, re: wireless, you'll probably need to connect to it under her account if it needs a password (passwords are stored per account) | 15:12 |
| bazhang | Stormcr0w: sounds really nice; come back if you have issues--about 2gb maybe? (for swap) | 15:12 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: okay. will do that, but how to make it auto-login instead of manual. | 15:12 |
| Skiessi | led: you need to use compiz and emerald theme manager | 15:12 |
| imaginativeone | I successfully installed it (totally by luck) | 15:12 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, or not use network manager, but it's not worth the pain | 15:12 |

| gajan | hi..i have allowed pop-up for a site in my mozilla firefox browser..how to block it again? | 15:15 |
| stefg | Stormcr0w: if you are not going to hibernate the system you'll only need swap for the sake of completeness. For hibernate you'll need size of ram + size of vram and then some to be on the safe side | 15:15 |
| unop | John_S, find /directory ( -path "*ntfs_directory*" -prune) -o -print | 15:15 |
| bazhang | me_ for the wireless | 15:15 |
| laeg | cwiillu: when i run dpkg-reconfigue it's not giving me the autodetect option (7.04) | 15:15 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: nope. | 15:15 |
| bazhang | solid_liq: youtube works fine here | 15:15 |
| gajan | thanx skiessi | 15:15 |
| babolat | gajan: look in the preferences dialog | 15:15 |
| me_ | bazhang: oh sorry, Belkin Wireless G | 15:15 |
| unop | John_S, actually. find /directory \( -path "*ntfs_directory*" -prune \) -o -print | 15:15 |
| John_S | cwillu: It unfortunately does I think, because if I search at root level / then it finds the mounted partition in /mnt/hda1. Correct? | 15:15 |
| solid_liq | bazhang, did you try going to a page that wasn't already open in your browser? | 15:15 |
| bazhang | me_ you in the livecd now? | 15:15 |
| Stormcr0w | stefg: ok, then 5GB, just in case I do decide to hibernate at some point in time | 15:15 |
| cwillu | stefg, Stormcr0w, you need _some_ swap, but as stefg said, you don't need much unless you're planning to hibernate | 15:15 |
| solid_liq | bazhang, I just found this: http://mashable.com/2006/08/15/youtube-down/ | 15:15 |
| cwillu | John_S, which, gnome search? | 15:16 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: what does network manager's icon look like? | 15:16 |
| bazhang | solid_liq: just loaded the site when you asked | 15:16 |
| solid_liq | bazhang, k thanks | 15:16 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, the thing beside the clock that shows all the access points when you click on it | 15:16 |
| John_S | unop: Thanks--I'll give that a try, but it would be nice to do with the GUI. | 15:16 |
| stefg | Stormcr0w: sounds reasonable, if you don't miss the hd space | 15:16 |
| Stormcr0w | nah, I've got another TB on my other discs | 15:16 |
| bazhang | solid_liq: you want to dl youtube? get youtube-dl in the Hardy repos | 15:16 |
| John_S | cwillu: Just the Places > Search for Files (the gnome-search-tool) | 15:16 |
| unop | John_S, perhaps but i don't use gnome | 15:16 |
| cwillu | Stormcr0w, you could always add a swap _file_ if you decided to hibernate later | 15:16 |
| imaginativeone | how do I add korganizer to my Application Menu? | 15:17 |
| TimMatrix | Yes, it is showing a llist of wireless accesses, with manual configurations, etc. | 15:17 |
| Stormcr0w | cwillu: which interface do I use to do that? | 15:17 |
| solid_liq | bazhang, heh no, was just clicking on a video | 15:17 |
| cwillu | Stormcr0w, contrary to popular believe, swap files are almost as efficient as swap partitions (the kernel handles them differently than just reading files normally) | 15:17 |
| stefg | cwillu: ouch, i don't think ubuntu supports that... read something about that on some mailing list | 15:17 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: forgot to put your name in front. See above. | 15:17 |
| bazhang | solid_liq: ah okay misunderstood my bad | 15:17 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, 8.04? | 15:17 |
| Lynet | solid_liq: youtube just got back for me, afaict they had some problems with their dns servers but seems like it has been fixed. | 15:18 |
| ere4si | imaginativeone: right click the applications menu and add | 15:18 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: yes, 8.04 | 15:18 |
| and][ng | hello | 15:18 |
| cwillu | stefg, swapfiles at all? | 15:18 |
| gajan | thanx babolat its done | 15:18 |
| cwillu | stefg could have sworn I've used them before | 15:18 |
| me__ | bazhang: Belkin Wireless G V4000 | 15:18 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, :/ I thought they fixed that :( | 15:18 |
| bazhang | me__: you in the livecd now--> can troubleshoot this right now or you are going to boot into ubuntu later | 15:18 |
| imaginativeone | ere4si: no dice | 15:18 |
| xalanthyr | hello, i've got a question - how to change the sound output in SB Audigy from digital to normal output? | 15:19 |
| stefg | cwillu: of course you manually set up a swap file, but this is officially unsupported, because it *breaks* hibernation | 15:19 |
| and][ng | what's the package name with gcc and related libraries/headers? | 15:19 |
| me__ | bazhang: im in xp at the moment | 15:19 |
| cwillu | John_S, by default, locate doesn't include anything in /media, and the gnome tool doesn't cross device boundaries by default | 15:19 |
| troughton | i have updated from 7.10 to 8.04 and my packages have been broken and my network nolonger works can anyone help me please | 15:19 |
| TimMatrix | cwillu: interesting... Perhaps the network manager is off? Or am I mistaken. Is there a program somewhere to set up again? | 15:19 |
| and][ng | I'm getting a "C compiler cannot create executables" | 15:19 |
| bazhang | me_any way to get ethernet on that and troubleshoot from the livecd? | 15:19 |
| jrib | and][ng: build-essential | 15:19 |
| me__ | troughton: same problem | 15:19 |
| and][ng | jrib: thanks | 15:19 |
| cwillu | John_S, in gconf-editor, apps | gnome-search, you can specifically blacklist dirs, but I don't think it's needed | 15:19 |
| ere4si | imaginativeone: there is a menu eitor in the control center | 15:19 |
| jrib | and][ng: what are you compiling anyway? | 15:19 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, no, that's network manager you're using | 15:19 |
| and][ng | jrib: magic vlsi tool | 15:19 |
| unop | and][ng, install the build-essential package | 15:19 |
| Tom47 | when i installed hardy it did not install firefox-2. i have just installed firefox-2 via synaptic yet it runs ff3 instead | 15:20 |

| cwillu | TimMatrix, passwords get stored in the keyring, and it sounds like its not working for you for some reason | 15:20 |
| Stormcr0w | Everyone: Thanks for your help. I'll try it out and will be back if I run into trouble... | 15:20 |
| bhsx | Wyzard: thanks a bunch, the any-any-116 patch did the trick... i was having troubles installing my raw disk (real) install of XP with virtualbox... vmware can do it flawlessly (though not seamlessley:( ) | 15:20 |

| cwillu | TimMatrix, honestly, not sure | 15:20 |
| me__ | bazhang: I don;t actually have a livecd for 8.01, I upgraded from within 7 | 15:20 |
| cwillu | TimMatrix, does it work if you give them admin? | 15:20 |

| cwillu | MrDowntempo, can you be more specific? | 15:22 |
| MrDowntempo | cwillu: well I installed openssh server from synaptic. Made sure it was started by running /etc/init.d/ssh restart and try to login in from another local device with ssh my.ip.server.ip.address -l user | 15:23 |
| wilberfan | LunaFreeState, but it converts fine under Sidux on my other box... | 15:23 |
| cwillu | MrDowntempo, what does it say? | 15:23 |
| martman | is there a easy way to get the livecd to automaticaly rebuid the grub menu? i found the mini guide online and went threw it, my kernel still hangs early on in boot and gives me busybox | 15:23 |
| Tom47 | nadalizade1: seems to have sorted it thanks very much | 15:23 |
| MrDowntempo | cwillu: sshL connect to host my.ip port 22: No route to host | 15:23 |
| bazhang | wilberfan then convert it there and sneakernet it to your ubuntu box | 15:23 |
| cwillu | MrDowntempo, that's not a ssh error, thats you not having a route to the host | 15:24 |
| wilberfan | bazhang, that doesn't really fix the problem, does it? | 15:24 |
| cwillu | MrDowntempo, can you tell me the ip address? and are you on the same subnet/local network? | 15:24 |
| LunaFreeState | wilberfan: I don't know then, I have had no luck with mine, but I haven't tryed much, I just get another copy with gtk-gnutella | 15:24 |

| david_-_- | i have a pic set for my terminal background but it wont show up how i fix this? | 15:25 |
| me__ | what is roaming anyway? | 15:25 |
| cwillu | MrDowntempo, if you're needing to access it from outside the network, then the router needs to know to forward that port to the right machine | 15:25 |
| babolat | !pastebin | wilberfan | 15:25 |
| ubottu | wilberfan: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 15:25 |

| cwillu | MrDowntempo, and if the server has a firewall, it'll need to let that port through as well, etc etc | 15:26 |

| me__ | bazhang: I'm reading the heron known issues. Do you think it is possible that disabling roaming might be a fix for the reason my wireless no longer works>? | 15:26 |
| cwillu | MrDowntempo, what commands are you typing? (just /msg me if you'd feel more comfortable, although every public ip address on the net is constantly getting probed anyway :p) | 15:26 |

| amenado | codecaine-> iptables -n -vL or iptables-save | 15:45 |
| jake2point0 | i remembernow.. for audigy cards, you have to go into the mixer and unselect digital output. thats how it works.. thanks for nothing | 15:45 |
| trondhuso | moDumass, then you should probably read up on mounting a NAS but not on / ;) | 15:45 |
| cwillu | sorry, big boss called | 15:45 |

| Stormcr0w | jrib: I am about to partition the drive before installing and would just like to know whether it makes sense to allow a moderate ext3 partition (say, 50GB) to ubuntu, 5GB for swap and leave the rest as NTFS, so that it can be accessible by my other OS's | 15:46 |
| laeg | cwillu: do you still have a job? :) | 15:46 |
| codecaine | http://www.pastebin.org/33622 | 15:46 |
| trondhuso | moDumass, maybe you should create some more partitions on the NAS so that you can mount a /home partition on it for instance. | 15:46 |
| cwillu | laeg, it's saturday :p | 15:46 |
| moDumass | trondhuso yeh it was to remove some crap that was on that dir, ive moved it all | 15:46 |
| c-ron | i think this has something to do with having one of the java alternatives being installed before sun java | 15:46 |
| amenado | laeg translations..thats the wifey..lol | 15:46 |
| moDumass | i just didnt want the nas home dir mounted here | 15:46 |

| Stormcr0w | jrib: is there something that I need to do after install to have write access to NTFS or does 8.04 allow it automatically? | 15:47 |
| cwillu | laeg, start x, and the ctrl+alt+f1, and run DISPLAY=:0 metacity, and then switch back (ctrl+alt+f7) | 15:47 |
| dubby | amenado: dubby you put a link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins for your livjavaplugin.so , answer : usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ the other folder does not exist, that and /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 15:47 |

| bbyever | likewise: check in synaptic | 15:48 |
| troughton | can some one please tell me how to uninstall wmaster0 ? | 15:48 |

| maccam94 | even after closing windows with flash in them, sound applications won't work until ff3 is closed | 15:49 |
| troughton | ok bazhang can you tell me how to stop it conflicting with wlan0 yes cwillu | 15:49 |
| bbyever | likewise: just google it then | 15:49 |
| maccam94 | bazhang: k, so they'll be fixing it soon, or is there a workaround? | 15:49 |
| cwillu | troughton, you _really_ want to use b43 if at all possible rather than ndiswrapper | 15:49 |
| carlos | why made a new version (hardy) if the lastest version works fine ? why don't get better the old things, now my sound is mess | 15:50 |
| POVaddct | troughton: wmaster0 is not conflicting with wlan0. the two interfaces belong to the same driver. | 15:50 |
| bazhang | maccam94: Adobe? well that depends--they just released more open software so could be | 15:50 |
| cwillu | troughton, however, if you're set in your ways (and don't mind not getting any further support from this channel when things break next time, because nobody is going to remember how to remove ndiswrapper gunk when 8.10 comes out)... | 15:50 |
| cwillu | troughton, then add b43 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 15:50 |
| threeseas | anyone using eric4 on hardy? | 15:50 |
| cwillu | troughton, and reboot | 15:50 |
| maccam94 | bazhang: i mean i wasn't having issues this bad in 7.10, with ff2 | 15:51 |
| troughton | have done cwillu thanks for that wireless swiched on now but having the same problem i had with avahi my wirless is on wlan0 but ubuntu wants to use wmaster now wlan | 15:51 |
| POVaddct | all mac80211-based drivers register both wmaster0 and wlan0 | 15:51 |
| cwillu | troughton, you're on b43? | 15:51 |
| troughton | yes cwillu | 15:51 |
| cwillu | then you're done, just ignore wmaster0 | 15:51 |
| bazhang | maccam94: then that is a separate issue--please clarify | 15:51 |
| laeg | cwillu: "window manager warning: screen 0 on display "0:" already has a window manager. try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager". that was from f1, and i have irssi in f2 if it matters | 15:51 |

| Dmole | akonkwa: try apt-get install | 15:53 |
| troughton | i would love to just ignore wmaster cwillu but ubutu is asighning the hardware to both wlan and wmaster but drivers on wlan causing conflict and not letting network conect | 15:53 |

| maccam94 | akonkwa: search synaptic for ubuntu studio, i remember seeing the theme in there | 15:53 |
| seann | maccam94: im using a belkin wireless USB adaptor | 15:53 |

| sisif | Hello guys. I`m using Ubuntu 7.10 (fresh re-install just the other day) on a Dell notebook and I`m having some trouble fixing a a bug that prevent the backlight to turn off when the LID is closed. On previous install I know that all I had to do is comment out line 9 in /etc/acpi/lid.sh . But now, the same fix is not working. Each time I close the LID, the backlight stays on, and I`m afraid of not burning out my laps. Is there any solution to this bug? (I did | 16:28 |
| sisif | some *extensive* searching on ubuntuforums, but came up with nothing really useful). | 16:29 |
| Kaemon12433 | but setting like tone and bass arent workign like they were last night | 16:29 |
| POVaddct | cwillu: i already detected which chipset it is. zd1211b, should run out of the box with zd1211rw module. i wonder what they've f*** up in the hardy kernel. | 16:29 |
| metroside | sorry that didn't make much sense after i read it. | 16:29 |
| neo_ | sisif, sum that up | 16:29 |
| Kaemon12433 | they wont apply when i click them | 16:29 |

I can "fix" this with a relog or a gdm restart but i'd like to know if anyone ever heard of this before ? (i know at least one other person with the same problem, uses compiz and nvidia as me) | 16:34 |
| Trizzle | neo_: I figured it out. I'm a retard. Thanks for the help. | 16:34 |
| stefg | SilverStreak: yeah, i know... well known problem, but a consequence of vendor lock in. So the only cure is using an open, well implemented cross platform format or spend big buck on x-over office and a copy of ms-office (which supports the wrongdoers even more) | 16:34 |
| troughton | cwillu it is still not working | 16:34 |

| randal | what button is the super>button1 | 16:35 |
| sisif | neo_: Sure | 16:35 |
| Myrtti | randal: windows button | 16:35 |
| randal | ok | 16:35 |

| metroside | cwillu; sorry missed what you were trying to do, was it install a wireless card? | 16:36 |
| StanMckhanic | Hi guys, downloaded drivers for my nvidia card from their website, came in a ".run" package, I followed their instructions, set it to be able to be run as an executable, double click the file on the desktop, where upon it opens a terminal, starts to run the package, but then comes up with a message saying that I need to be the root user to run it, I've spent a fair while reading documentation and forums, because I've been using l | 16:36 |
| StanMckhanic | inux for, oh, 4 days now, so I'm aware that I shouldn't need to use the root user, can someone help me find the correct way to do this using sudo? | 16:36 |
| smallfoot- | i get motherfucker angry, ubuntu has audio like windows 3.11, it cannot play Flash on Youtube and listen Rhythmbox mp3 same time??? WTF!!!!!!!!!! | 16:36 |

| neo_ | smallfoot, calm down | 16:36 |
| Kaemon12433 | !sound | 16:36 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 16:36 |
| stefg | StanMckhanic: why in the first place don't you use the nvidia drivers supplied with ubuntu ? | 16:37 |
| Myrtti | !envy | neo_, StanMckhanic | 16:37 |
| ubottu | neo_, StanMckhanic: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 16:37 |

| Tung | i want to backup data from my harddrive to a dvd | 16:57 |
| Tung | how can i do that | 16:57 |
| Takalius | derspankster, You can install emerald, emerald-themes won't work, but you can just get themes from the interwebz | 16:57 |
| bazhang | goudkov: sorry thought you meant which kernel to use-->could you please clarify your question | 16:57 |

| bazhang | tung use brasero gnomebaker or similar to burn data dvd | 16:58 |
| * xomp le sigh | 16:58 | |
| goudkov | 3G-> more stuff cached. 2G -> faster reads/writes for the running apps | 16:58 |
| bazhang | goudkov: not sure there-->you may wish to ask in #hardware if you dont get an answer here--this is ubuntu os support channel | 16:59 |
| Tung | SilverStreak: I have 2 hardrives in my pc . my data is in my harddrive . I want to write that into a dvd | 16:59 |

| bakerzdosen | no, I dont want to go back to windows | 17:18 |
| jrib | neo_: do you have a serious question concerning ubuntu support? | 17:19 |
| bakerzdosen | ever | 17:19 |
| chazco | Ah... that may be trickier then... got a seperate /home which may help a bit | 17:19 |

| neopsyche | Kevin`: well.. im not sure.. it seems to have taken over | 17:19 |
| ge_ | Hey People! I have bought a Netgear modem/router/wlan thingy. When I tell my notebook to connect to the wlan (unprotected netgear) it gets the ip 192.168.0.3 from this thing. But then when i try to go to 192.168.0.1 where the admin interface of the machine should be, i get a "cant connect". any ideas? i also cannot ping 192.168.0.1. | 17:19 |
| Kevin` | chazco: it's possible of coursse to install windows second, you just have to fix things after | 17:19 |
| bakerzdosen | yes, I need to get jackd working | 17:19 |
| kneeki | bergquist: I wish... | 17:19 |
| robert__ | i can't figure out how to change default media player | 17:19 |
| bergquist | kneeki: there has to be something wrong with apt-get... | 17:19 |
| neopsyche | Kevin`: it lets me in with wierd command telling it not to use password but now i cant remember what that is. | 17:19 |
| kneeki | bergquist: Yeah, but would that also remove my synaptic package manager? | 17:19 |
| jaco1 | anyone knows how to get my hardy desktop to the resolution as my windows desktop in virtualbox | 17:20 |
| kneeki | It's more like it's uninstalled or something | 17:20 |
| bakerzdosen | apt-get is getting a few of the programs that I want, but it's just not installing anything either, not alot, some | 17:20 |
| neopsyche | Kevin`: also.. since installing mythbuntu repos on my ubuntu install i get wierd "cannot login permission errros" | 17:20 |
| bergquist | kneeki: I think synaptic depends alot on apt-get | 17:20 |
| Kevin` | neopsyche: you can't just do mysql -uroot? | 17:20 |
| kneeki | bergquist: Ah | 17:20 |
| neopsyche | Kevin`: i dont know what that is about | 17:20 |
| ubud | anyone know where to get free "kivio" stencil? | 17:20 |
| neopsyche | Kevin`: what does that do..? | 17:20 |
| Kevin` | neopsyche: to connect to mysql.. not sure what you mean from before.. | 17:20 |
| bergquist | kneeki: rather... synaptic depends only on apt-get | 17:20 |
| bergquist | kneeki: and dpkg | 17:20 |
| threeseas | It seems upgrading to hardy breaks the connection between eric4 and the terminal from which eric4 was started | 17:20 |

| bazhang | jaco1: what is your question please specify | 17:22 |

| ubud | bazhang: thanks | 17:22 |

| bazhang | jaco1 ubuntu is host os and xp the guest or the reverse | 17:24 |
| jaco1 | I am on a sony vaio | 17:24 |
| bergquist | kneeki: it sounds like something is fubar with apt-get/dpkg anyway | 17:24 |
| jaco1 | windows is the host os | 17:24 |
| jaco1 | ubuntu is the guest os | 17:24 |
| ZaphodBeeblebrox | Greetings. Does anyone knows how do I install phpize on Ubuntu? I remember it was kinda like renaming a file or something like that, but can't remember exactly how I do it | 17:24 |

| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 17:43 |

| remoteCTRL | diranacola: that is the southbridge | 18:16 |

| remoteCTRL | diranacola: if you can burn your fingers at the bottom of that fan's heatsink it is to hot | 18:17 |

| zvacet | musa : so from that point in gmoutiso all is gui | 18:17 |
| norv | musa: gonna check libmagic and see if there's a special type for iso. could be corrupt | 18:17 |
| xomp | cellofellow, would that be "usbcore"? usbcore 146028 4 prism2_usb,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd | 18:17 |
| norv | musa: i thought you said gmountiso didn't work. might want to try that then | 18:17 |
| cellofellow | xomp: looks like there's one called prism2_usb. | 18:17 |
| remoteCTRL | CaBlGuY: that is too few, are you sure you executed nvidia-settings in a commandline? | 18:17 |
| norv | musa: (if you haven't already) | 18:17 |
| diranacola | remoteCTRL: nope the metal of the fan is cool | 18:17 |

| xomp | cellofellow, correct. I've tried the orinoco drivers before and it disabled my usb so I blacklisted orinoco and am using prism2 | 18:18 |

| leachim6 | ? | 18:32 |

| bazhang | mhiku: not here please | 18:33 |

| Ethald | anyone know how to get a g15 keyboard to work in ubuntu? I've followed some tutorials, but can't seem to get it to work | 18:35 |
| diranacola | remoteCTRL: you think it could be just one of those causing it? | 18:35 |
| wabkia | but i mean, what would i do | 18:35 |
| wabkia | boot to live cd? | 18:35 |
| cvd-pr | why is not color depth in the screen resolution? | 18:35 |
| remoteCTRL | diranacola: very likely i have very seldom see fail both of them at the same time | 18:36 |
| bazhang | dushich: we will tell them thanks | 18:36 |
| danbhfive | wabkia: if you can't boot, then yeah. BUT, I'm kinda ignorant with these things | 18:36 |
| diranacola | remoteCTRL: there's 4 pieces of RAM in this machine - that's what you mean right? | 18:36 |
| metroside | night all, can someone help Zyrando with his ndiswrapper problem when he gets back please....need to hit the sack.. | 18:36 |
| evoltron | Can someone help me with an update issue? It won't let me do a full update. It gives me the option to do a "partial upgrade" but when i try, it says "Error authenticating package" libawn-bzr | 18:36 |
| wabkia | mmmmmmm | 18:36 |
| SeaPhor | metroside, i'll look for him | 18:37 |
| danbhfive | evoltron: you can try, from the cli, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:37 |
| danand | wabkia - use a live cd then mount the relevant partition and pastebin your fstab file... see if someone can see whats wrong | 18:37 |
| remoteCTRL | diranacola: in that case you need to take them out pairwise, you can eliminate a pair by that and then only put in one at a time of the remaining pair, that should tell you which one it is | 18:37 |
| metroside | thanks SeaPhor; he is rebooting and going to pastebin to send us his iwconfig file.. | 18:37 |
| doom | brokeback | 18:38 |

| mweinelt | hcoal: nobody can help for you are asking a meta-question | 18:41 |
| LordOfThePigs | jrib, Yeah, I know about the backports repository, but alsa hasn't released any new version, not even a beta, so its never going to get into the backports repository | 18:41 |
| doom | hcoal: phailboat. | 18:41 |
| LordOfThePigs | jrib, hence my need to build it myself | 18:41 |

| tv3SkUrt | I have worked for over a whole week to get proper video acceleration in totem but its impossible. I have ati X1950pro card. It's impossible to get proper Xv acceleration. I have tried gstreamer-properties. i have tried aticonfig. And reinstalling driver several times with EnvyNG. For some reason the video works in xine. But i want it to work properly in Totem with no strange vertical lines and pixelated unaccelerate | 18:42 |
| doom | hcoal: phail...boat | 18:42 |
| nickellery | <tv3SkUrt> you may want to try a different movie player such as VLC media player | 18:42 |
| tv3SkUrt | This is really killing me i hate to have to remove ubuntu just because of this issue. | 18:42 |
| tv3SkUrt | nickellery: that one does not work either. | 18:43 |
| tv3SkUrt | nickellery: i have tried everything including removing compiz but still totem does not accelerate video properly. | 18:43 |
| LordOfThePigs | jrib, I just found what I remembered to have used before: checkinstall | 18:43 |
| danbhfive | tv3SkUrt: have you tried the drivers manager? | 18:43 |
| jrib | LordOfThePigs: that doesn't create a proper package... | 18:43 |
| tv3SkUrt | danbhfive: i have tried both open source and atis own driver and none give proper playback in totem. | 18:44 |
| tv3SkUrt | danbhfive: setting Xv video in gstreamer-properties tells me that Xv acceleration is not available. | 18:44 |
| danbhfive | tv3SkUrt: is this an upgrade? maybe you need to do a clean install | 18:44 |
| tv3SkUrt | danbhfive: it's a clean install. | 18:44 |
| LordOfThePigs | jrib, What do you mean? It is only meant for personal use. | 18:45 |

| tv3SkUrt | danbhfive: i am giving it one last try before i remove ubuntu and maybe wait another year to see if some fixes comes out. | 18:45 |
| Rainarrow | hello doom, I know how to run doom under Windows 3.1 | 18:45 |
| jrib | LordOfThePigs: when you asked how to create a backport, I thought you wanted a proper package that would be acceptable as a backport. Just be aware that using checkinstall is not the same | 18:45 |
| arvind_khadri | doom #windows | 18:45 |
| danbhfive | tv3SkUrt: sorry, I don't know. Maybe you can post on launchpad | 18:45 |

| arvind_khadri | doom, you mentioned windows 3.1 | 18:46 |
| doom | yeah | 18:46 |
| tv3SkUrt | danbhfive: actually this seems to be a regular problem when i look in ubuntu forums. But somehow xine seems to work but i don't like that player. I want to use totem or vlc. | 18:46 |

| wabbit | damntourists: su passwd then set a password | 19:30 |
| unop | !root | damntourists | 19:30 |
| ubottu | damntourists: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:30 |

| damntourists | unop: i'm following a tutorial and it told me to su, and i tried, but sudo was asking for root access for what i was trying to do... even though i typed in my password it still asked for root | 19:31 |

| norv | L_Mo: worse, they can't be modprobed | 19:33 |
| fbc | Does ubuntu take advantage of quad core processors?? If so would I be using the amd64 or still the i386 version? | 19:33 |

| rsk | zeeeeee: #ubuntu+1 | 19:35 |

| insomnia_ | thnx | 19:36 |
| zeeeeee | my system is hosed after trying to dist-upgrade to 8.04... | 19:36 |

| unop | itrebal, hmm, i'm not really sure if unclutter can do this.. try it out tho | 19:36 |
| aguitel | laeg: the rest resolution work too | 19:36 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: did you remove everything with fglrx-* like it says? | 19:36 |

| shira | i'm on 8.04 and I installed virtualbox-ose. When I reboot, my X gets screwed up and I'm forced to go into "low graphics mode" or something like that. I then remove virtualbox-ose and reboot. I'm still forced to go into this low graphics mode. Any ideas? | 19:36 |
| sc006 | there a new fire w tool in 6.04 ufw or something ? | 19:36 |
| itrebal | unop damntourists I mean, his system is implementing something to lock the mouse, and he wants to disable it | 19:36 |

| user01 | i have some fonts that appear to be "installed" in open office and others they dont seem to be installed for other apps | 19:40 |

| threeseas | just checking to see if my lines were actually being read | 19:45 |
| norv | dassouki: what are you trying to figure out? | 19:46 |
| JoshuaRL | zeeeeee: try running sudo dpkg -configure -a | 19:46 |
| zeeeeee | JoshuaRL, see my paste :) | 19:46 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: you should let synaptic check for fastest server. it runs ping tests and such and advises on best server for you. worked well for me | 19:46 |
| dassouki | norv, rbox only works when firefox is not runnign | 19:46 |

| Cpudan80 | JoshuaRL: The problem is that all the firefox plugins want the firefox deb | 19:54 |

| danbhfive | Paragtim: I don't follow. Are you talking about the grub menu? | 19:55 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshuaRL: The plugins say that I dont have firefox ----- which is 100% true ---- the firefox pkg points to FF3 | 19:55 |

| m_ad | anyone familiar with configuring a Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics card to work with higher resolutions and/or compiz? | 19:55 |
| kronichayz | well im installing it to its own harddrive | 19:55 |
| laeg | aguitel: yes but it doesn't mean it's the best it can be. it vexes me that my monitor or gfx card name aren't recored in xorg.conf, that ubuntu reports 51hz refresh rate while my physical monitor reports it's running @ 75hz but would rather 60hz, and that ubuntu is offering to display 25 resolutions for me most of which it cannot | 19:55 |
| kronichayz | windows is on a dif one | 19:55 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshuaRL: Mozilla-mplayer for example | 19:55 |
| Whitesox2007 | and i also have an extra ubuntu installation taking up space, it's not too much space but i could still use that extra 5 gigs | 19:55 |
| kronichayz | :-/ | 19:56 |

| TooFly__ | haha ok just checking | 19:56 |
| aguitel | laeg: you make clean install or upgrade from gutsy? | 19:56 |

| danbhfive | Paragtim: so, are you getting into ubuntu, ie gnome? | 19:57 |
| b12 | Does anyone know how to get AWN curves? | 19:57 |
| JoshuaRL | Cpudan80: can you go through the browser and go to the addons page from mozilla? | 19:57 |
| Whitesox2007 | kitty i had the same problem and i fixed that by some x-server fix i found in the forums, wish i woulda tried that before installing another hardy | 19:57 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshuaRL: huh? | 19:57 |
| kitty_ | have a link? | 19:57 |
| Whitesox2007 | sure, lemme find it real quick | 19:57 |
| Whitesox2007 | might take a bit | 19:57 |
| kitty_ | thx take your time | 19:57 |
| dassouki | norv, actually good call, i substituded it for alsa since pulse was lgagging | 19:58 |
| JoshuaRL | Cpudan80: from the home page of firefox try going to the addons page it should have media addons for your browser | 19:58 |

| danbhfive | Paragtim: you should always get the grub menu when ever you boot | 19:58 |
| xomp | ok, new issue now. Would anyone know why Hardy locks up tighter than a drum when I try to connect to a wireless network using a ndiswrapper driver? | 19:58 |
| aguitel | laeg: maybe this is the problem ,hardy work fine with clean install | 19:58 |
| hemelskonijn | my keyboard stopped working after hybernation (need it to enter bios pswd) please help | 19:59 |
| Hammer89 | is trash handled differently in Hardy? | 19:59 |
| b12 | does anybody how to get AWN Curves ? :( | 19:59 |
| danbhfive | Paragtim: if you have no important data, and you think you messed up the install, then you should start over with a clean install, and do it right. Its easier than trying to fix problems after the fact | 19:59 |

| Paragtim | danbhfive - I think you might be right - Thanks for your time and patience | 20:01 |
| xomp | m_ad, yeah, you have to create an /etc/drirc file and put some info in it, can't remember how, but you can ask in #compiz | 20:01 |
| Whitesox2007 | kitty, talk to me in your private chat, easier to sort out | 20:01 |
| JoshuaRL | Cpudan80: probably, but i don't know it :p | 20:01 |

| MountainX | m_ad a native resolution is the resolution at which an LCD display is designed to run | 20:05 |
| excAliBuR | i have tried DD but it takes forever and i don't even know if it's working | 20:06 |
| m_ad | crdlb, aah, i see.. but there are other options in "Screen Resolution", just smaller | 20:06 |
| MountainX | ludwi1 - which two undates were you not able to get? | 20:06 |
| ludwi1 | well that's from the update manager.. is there a way to update from terminal? | 20:06 |
| Whitesox2007 | kitty, i don't know if i have a registration or not, where's the registration link? XD | 20:06 |
| Whitesox2007 | i'm on my dad's hardy right now moutainx, | 20:06 |
| norv | excAliBuR: dd can be, but the disk has to be the same size and various other limitations, for it to work right | 20:06 |
| ggeecko | hi, can somebody help me | 20:06 |
| Whitesox2007 | i can't view certain things either | 20:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Has anyone found a good solution to the firefox3 flash crashing problem? | 20:06 |
| crdlb | m_ad: those look terrible because it just does interpolation to fit to the native resolution :) | 20:06 |
| Lynet | !ask | ggeecko | 20:06 |
| ubottu | ggeecko: 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. :-) | 20:06 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: sure sudo apt-get update | 20:06 |
| ggeecko | can you guys look at this http://pastebin.com/m3f17fcd9 every nic works except eth3, I cant figure out why i cant get online from eth3 | 20:06 |
| kitty_ | just a sec... thanks for your help | 20:06 |
| threeseas | dbus says you can't get to shell beach | 20:06 |
| norv | excAliBuR: easiest way, format a blank disk, copy everything | 20:07 |
| ludwi1 | ishw and libldap | 20:07 |
| m_ad | crdlb, ok.. thanks for your help. do you know of any other ways to get compiz to work with this intel integrated video, without bypassing the blacklist? heh | 20:07 |
| kitty_ | which kernel should i boot? latest? not tha tit makes a difference in how they work | 20:07 |
| ludwi1 | ok let me try that command | 20:07 |
| === LaTTiNo is now known as OncrAckz | ||
| Whitesox2007 | the one you're trying to get to work | 20:07 |
| excAliBuR | norv: what you mean by copy? | 20:07 |
| crdlb | m_ad: it's no longer blacklisted in Hardy | 20:07 |
| bil9000 | deeeep breath. | 20:07 |
| norv | excAliBuR: just that | 20:07 |
| pixelmonkey | anyone else noticing a pretty serious memory leak using Compiz + Nvidia? | 20:08 |
| crdlb | m_ad: and it's only blacklisted in Gutsy because Xv video is broken | 20:08 |
| LukeL_ | kitty_ if the latest works fine then boot with it | 20:08 |
| ludwi1 | it says unable to resolve host | 20:08 |
| HermanChess | compiz is a memory leak | 20:08 |
| MountainX | when I reply to someone's question, can pidgin automatically copy their screen name at the beginning of my reply so I don't have to type it? | 20:08 |
| crdlb | pixelmonkey: it's a bug in the nvidia driver; everyone with low videoram gets it | 20:08 |
| Lynet | ggeecko: Hmm. Looks right, at least at first glance. | 20:08 |
| ricree | after upgrading from gutsy to hardy, my numberpad no longer works. Does anyone have any ideas how to deal with this? | 20:08 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: can you pastebin your sources.list | 20:08 |
| norv | excAliBuR: cp -r /mnt/point/* /mnt/second/.. or just use file manager | 20:08 |
| Takalius | MountainX, I know in XChat you can type the beginning of their name and hit Tab | 20:08 |
| pixelmonkey | crdlb, so, is it better to try nvidia-glx rather than nvidia-glx-new, or try the Nvidia beta? | 20:08 |
| ggeecko | Lynet: me too...I cant figure it out | 20:08 |
| Whitesox2007 | Not sure moutain x, but it'd probably be hard to do it anyway | 20:08 |
| ubuntino | software sources GUI unable to read apt sources-list. is there a way to force the read? | 20:08 |
| m_ad | crdlb, damn, just got this laptop with gutsy installed on it. is it tough to upgrade? I see the update manager telling me I can update.. just read a lot about peoples nic card/etc not working after upgrade | 20:08 |
| MountainX | Takalius - thx | 20:09 |
| Takalius | MountainX, Example, I type "Moun" and hit tab, it'll say MountainX, at the beginning ^^ | 20:09 |
| norv | excAliBuR: err, "cp -r /mnt/point/* /mnt/second/" sans quotes | 20:09 |
| crdlb | pixelmonkey: they all have it now. The only fix I know of is to use Xgl or indirect rendering, both of which are far from optimal | 20:09 |
| ludwi1 | pastebin is a webiste? forget what it is :P | 20:09 |
| MountainX | Takalius: yes, this works in Pidgin too. Thanks | 20:09 |
| Takalius | MountainX, No problem | 20:09 |
| bazhang | !paste | ludwi1 | 20:09 |
| ubottu | ludwi1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 20:09 |
| Whitesox2007 | you still there Kitty_? | 20:09 |
| kitty_ | yes | 20:09 |
| pixelmonkey | HermanChess, I would agree, and would be fine using pure metacity, except metacity's built-in compositor sucks (is completely unconfigurable, as far as I can tell) and xcompmgr has quite a few bugs with certain apps | 20:09 |
| ludwi1 | thanks for link | 20:09 |
| m_ad | crdlb, ha, not only is it telling me that there's a dist available, but I have 90 available other updates :x | 20:10 |

| Whitesox2007 | but it should work the same if you just follow the instructions | 20:10 |

| Mohjive | hello - is it possible to use aptitude to find out what packages that depend on a specific package? | 20:11 |
| laeg | miro in synaptic is out of date, if i download miro manually from their homepage should i extract it to /bin/? | 20:12 |
| MountainX | can I filter irc conversations to see only those with my name when, for example, I want to see if I missed any replies to a question I asked? | 20:12 |
| Lynet | ggeecko: Did you get my msg? Line 25, I think you have a -d where you should have an -s. | 20:12 |
| Mohjive | I don't want dependencies for a package, but I'd like to know what packages depend on it | 20:12 |
| MountainX | Mohjive: you can use apt-cache | 20:12 |
| kitty_ | tried some of the commands but ime getting dpkg errors asing me to try --configure -a, which i tried and doesnt work | 20:12 |
| ggeecko | Lynet: k...checking now...thx | 20:12 |
| ludwi1 | i can't open it. on the task bar this new task says "starting administration" but it never opens | 20:12 |
| zeeeeee | JoshuaRL, ok, the apt-get install -f finished. should i now attempt to dist-upgrade again? | 20:12 |
| Whitesox2007 | hm | 20:12 |
| Whitesox2007 | that's odd | 20:12 |
| ludwi1 | it just closes after words | 20:12 |
| damntourists | legend2440: so i followed that writeup, and found that i'm back at a blank logon screen | 20:12 |
| m_ad | crdlb, still around? | 20:12 |
| Mohjive | MountainX: I'll look at it, thanks | 20:12 |

| LordOfThePigs | Hello, I have a custom compiled version of the ALSA module. How do I make sure that ubuntu loads my custom version of the module instead of its own? | 20:13 |
| danbhfive | zeeeeee: I would say go for it | 20:13 |
| TheBigNoob | how do I set up alsa with a different soundcard | 20:13 |
| TheBigNoob | isn't there a configurator to run? | 20:13 |
| TheBigNoob | or something? | 20:13 |
| TheBigNoob | via command prompt | 20:13 |
| norv | excAliBuR: oh, nearly forgot. you need to do this with a boot disk. Yeah, that command would copy /mnt/hda1/mnt/hda1/mnt/hda1 recursively... why it's easiest to copy a disk without an OS running on it (plus /dev, /proc, etc) | 20:13 |
| tim___ | I was playing a fullscreen game (Egoboo) that crashed. I killed the process, but now my desktop is stuck in the low resolution. I can however scroll around the screen to reveal the whole desktop. How can I fix this? | 20:14 |

I had Hardy in about the best shape I've ever had a computer running before and earlier this morning, it seems I installed a font that X doesn't like in the logon process. I feel like I've tried everything, so any advice you could give me before I throw in the towel on probably 48 hours of work total and reinstall. | 20:15 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: i get the same thing.. starting administration task but it won't open.. just closes on me | 20:15 |

| Gumby | bil9000: remove the font? | 20:15 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: in the terminal? | 20:16 |
| ludwi1 | yep | 20:16 |
| norv | laeg: deb is not a program | 20:16 |

| bil9000 | Gumby - I can't login | 20:16 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: what about cat /etc/apt/sources.list can you see it then | 20:16 |
| bil9000 | I have no idea what font is causing it either | 20:16 |

| bazhang | ludwi1: yes please | 20:17 |
| jburd | damntourists: Heh. Why? | 20:18 |
| Lynet | bil9000: Try to boot without gui, and look in /var/log to see if you can get some more information on why xfstt fails. | 20:18 |
| Gumby | bil9000: ctrl+alt+f1 will get you to a terminal login there. you can try to have a look at the dates of the files that have been downloaded by doing ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives | 20:18 |
| norv | penetrarthur: VLC and kaffeine play flv for me, with codecs | 20:18 |
| ubuntino | penetrarthur: inside firefox? | 20:18 |
| penetrarthur | ubuntino: yes i think | 20:18 |
| MountainX | Whitesox2007: if you want to remove a kernal image, use Synaptic to remove it. If it is a partition, but delete the partition or format it. Maybe there is more you can do with grub.... | 20:18 |

| opopanax | nosrednaekim, what card | 20:26 |
| nosrednaekim | opopanax: Atheros | 20:26 |
| ubuntino | RichW: Hardy here ;) | 20:26 |
| opopanax | nosrednaekim, madwifi doesn't work? | 20:27 |
| penetrarthur | so it is not possible to install flash player for amd64 ? | 20:27 |
| opopanax | penetrarthur, no, that is incorrect | 20:27 |
| nosrednaekim | opopanax: nope | 20:27 |
| opopanax | nosrednaekim, meh. | 20:27 |
| nosrednaekim | bil9000: you are using kde? | 20:27 |
| MountainX | penetrarthur: Adobe doesn't make a flash player in 64 bits for Linux | 20:27 |
| RichW | ubuntino: Theres a new thing called PolicyKit.. Its used to get root access from within programs.. if you make a new user with useradd manually.. you could have problems with it. | 20:27 |
| xomp | RichW, I have determined it's a prism2_usb device since if I blacklist it I loose all USB functionality, I've seen so many responses on old posts that say it's prism2_usb, orinoco, mildred martino, ronny bobby ricky & mike that I'm thuroughly confused haha | 20:27 |
| MountainX | penetrarthur: you haev to use a 32 bit version of flash | 20:28 |
| excAliBuR | does ubuntu still have a DRBL package? | 20:28 |
| norv | you can run a 32-bit flash player on 64-bit OS, though | 20:28 |
| penetrarthur | and force architecture it ? | 20:28 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: i can't edit anything.. i don't have permission | 20:28 |
| opopanax | penetrarthur, but ubuntu has made that completely transparent | 20:28 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: what happened that led to this | 20:28 |
| opopanax | norv, penetrarthur it's not as complicated as it soundsw. | 20:28 |
| bil9000 | gumby - I can't really make heads or tails of anything in the apt list since this is such a new installation | 20:28 |
| luser__ | anyone using pcsx2 with dualshock controller? | 20:28 |
| xaziva | how do I get torrent files to automaticly start with dulige-torrent | 20:28 |
| MachinTrucChose | hi | 20:28 |
| penetrarthur | well, when i run isntaller it says that i have wrong architecture | 20:28 |
| PKsteR | you ither have to make a wraper for flash or just run a 32 bit web browser i believe | 20:28 |
| RichW | xomp: Hmm.. We might have to put this on the linux kernel mailing list | 20:29 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: i dunno everything was working fine till i updated to the latest version.. then i keep getting loads of bugs with things. | 20:29 |
| RichW | xomp: we need to find the prism developers | 20:29 |
| ubuntino | RichW: also using the gui interface? ( I updatef from gutsy and kept my user list) | 20:29 |
| opopanax | i think i have brain cancer--god my head hurts | 20:29 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: latest version? you are still on dapper right? | 20:29 |
| virtuald | doesn't transmission use ipv6? | 20:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | if I wanted to add a local folder as a package source (files I had from a previous install), is it as simple as adding a line of text to the apt sources.conf? | 20:29 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: no i'm on the latest as in hardy heron.. | 20:29 |
| penetrarthur | when i run flash installer it says i have wrong architecture | 20:29 |
| RichW | ubuntino: Even though my user is in the correct groups.. that does not change the settings of PolicyKit.. So I effectivly do not have administrator rights. | 20:30 |
| xomp | RichW, what ever it takes to make it work would be great. I've found several other threads on the forum in relation to the same problem as me (with several other members claiming issues on those threads too) with no response from the community :/ | 20:30 |
| nosrednaekim | bil9000: are you using kde/kubuntu? | 20:30 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: think there could be a update problem since dapper? cause that pastebin thing talks about dapper. | 20:30 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: you must have done something out of the ordinary-->your sources are all for dapper | 20:30 |
| opopanax | not exactly an early adopter... | 20:31 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: well i'm not a programmer and i havn't messed with anything that i know of. just used the update manager and add/remove app to install everything | 20:31 |
| SeaPhor | Any known issues on getting the Airlink AWLL3028 Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter to work in 7.10 or 8.04? | 20:31 |
| MountainX | penetrarthur: see this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 | 20:31 |
| ubuntino | RichW: have you tried rebooting using recovery mode? | 20:31 |
| funkja | My update manager does not work. It won't connect and download anything, though apt works just fine from the command line. I'm using 8.04. | 20:31 |
| RichW | ubuntino: Hows that going to help? | 20:31 |
| Lynet | bil9000: You could try running xfsst manually from a shell and see if you get some sensible error message. | 20:32 |
| RichW | ubuntino: I can use sudo but thats not the point | 20:32 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: are all your files backed up? | 20:32 |
| wabkia | ok, i can see my linux box, and i can see the share, its mounted correctly, but when i try to access it on my windows box it says access denied. whats goin on? | 20:32 |
| ubuntino | RichW: you might get root access, depending on your settings | 20:32 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: you mean when i update the os? don't think i have :P | 20:32 |
| bil9000 | lynet - I actually tried a dpkg-reconfigure on xfsst and I got no output at all (!) | 20:32 |
| Jeez | hello there, i got a problem with amule on gutsy, still there in hardy, i posted this on the amule channel: | 20:32 |
| Jeez | http://pastebin.com/d574497c8 | 20:33 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: I mean your personal data etc | 20:33 |
| Jeez | can anyone help me please? | 20:33 |
| RichW | ubuntino: running policykit applications as root does nothing to help.. you really dont know what your talking about :) | 20:33 |
| bil9000 | lynet - what else should I try? | 20:33 |
| RichW | xomp: First I will need output of lsusb -v I assume your familiar with the terminal.. paste the output in pastebin | 20:33 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: i can easly backup everything. exturnal hdd. | 20:33 |
| RichW | !pastebin | xomp | 20:33 |
| ubottu | xomp: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 20:33 |

| damntourists | legend2440: finally got back to my desktop | 20:33 |
| xomp | RichW, sure, just a sec | 20:33 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: the easiest way to this is to get the hardy live cd | 20:34 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: go to system.preferences>control panel>hardware drivers see if ati is enabled | 20:34 |
| evilbug | i'm having some display issues in hardy,my max resolution is 1024x800 when in gutsy it used to be 1280x1024.help? | 20:34 |
| nosrednaekim | bil9000: ummmm that looks like a KDE config issue (if kstartupconf is what I think it is) try doing this " mv .kde kde-home-backup" and re-login | 20:34 |
| cvd-pr | can someone check my x.sessionError to se why my ubuntu freeze when click quit button http://pastebin.com/m2df56287 >? | 20:34 |
| Lynet | bil9000: I'm entering guesswork-territory here as haven't experienced that one myself. But, thing to do is look at logs and try to find relevant error messages and/or running the diferent commands manually in a shell to see if they punt out with an error message. | 20:34 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: ok. well i might as well just partition everything for a fully clean start then.. | 20:34 |
| xomp | RichW, http://pastebin.com/mb4bcdd4 | 20:34 |
| ubuntino | RichW: you could try to explain what you really want to do. sinde all a user needs under ubuntu to administer is being a sudoer. | 20:34 |
| finek | how much ram needs hardy? | 20:34 |
| opopanax | yeah, display detection and drivers kinda got borked--none of the ati drivers support my laptop anymore. it's irritating. | 20:34 |
| legend2440 | Jeez: i use amule sometimes but froswire is faster for me | 20:34 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: that was not what I meant; get the hardy live cd and change your password from that | 20:35 |
| legend2440 | Jeez: i use amule sometimes but frostwire is faster for me | 20:35 |
| opopanax | oh well. y'all have a good day. | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | torrents is the way to go | 20:35 |
| linoobie | hi all. :-) hope everyone is doing ok. Im having some problems recording audio with xawtv.. when i select the avi video record option .. audio option becomes unavailable? not sure why .. does anyone know how i can enable the audio to record from line in .. with avi as codec? | 20:35 |
| damntourists | legend2440: ati is not enabled, i had to restore my original xorg.conf | 20:35 |
| bil9000 | lynet 0 believe it or not, I actually tried very hard to find someone with a similar problem (xfsst) and couldn't find anything similar | 20:35 |
| damntourists | legend2440: it may have been enabled earlier but i'm not sure | 20:35 |
| excAliBuR | what does it mean if i can ping ip but not host? | 20:36 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: change my password? the window won't even open at all... so how is changing it going to matter? if i can't even use it. | 20:36 |
| opopanax | y'all ahve a good day | 20:36 |
| cvd-pr | ? | 20:36 |
| bazhang | ludwi1: boot from the live cd then from the live cd session do so | 20:36 |
| ludwi1 | bazhang: it probable be best for me just to partition the hdd. lol sadly i've sent a few years on windows. so i'm use to of reformating the hdd to start fresh :P | 20:36 |

| Kfiro | can someone please tell me what monitoring tool is this distro using : http://crunchbang.org/wiki/CrunchBangLinux80401ScreenshotsCleanDesktop | 20:38 |

| susanna777 | it's called WriteWayPro | 20:38 |
| Kfiro | It looks awesome | 20:38 |
| susanna777 | it's a novel writing program | 20:38 |
| simion314 | hi, i am using hardy and i wanted to try to update my ati driver and i observed that the xorg.conf is diffrent that in 7.10, and i have just this line in the device section Configured Video Device", nothing about ATI, i wanted to make this changes http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220720 but now i am afraid that i can break the system | 20:39 |

| bazhang | anoble why do you need grub without ubuntu? | 20:43 |
| susanna777 | but i want to be to do everything at once | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | susanna777: I am not sure about your app, but it might be a right hassle trying to get it working in Wine or Codeweavers. if possible at all. however you can run Ubuntu and Windows at the same time :) | 20:43 |

| anoble | Lynet: i cant even boot to windows | 20:44 |
| susanna777 | i don't have an installation disk for windows | 20:44 |
| susanna777 | it came preloaded on my computer | 20:44 |
| stefg | susanna777: rad about virtualbox, it can even do seamless windows | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | susanna777: ok well you can use VMware converter to copy the one you have installed | 20:44 |
| ubuntino | RichW: Maybe so :). Have you read this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/PolicyKitIntegration | 20:44 |

| mortal1 | hey guys, i have / and /boot partition, which should be bootible? | 20:44 |
| arbir | stefg: seamless windows only when the guest OS is XP | 20:44 |
| anoble | will live CD work? | 20:44 |
| bazhang | anoble so you a windows only problem? where does ubuntu come into this? cos you are an ex-ubuntu user? | 20:44 |

| anoble | bazhang: im on Ubuntu, remeber the Screen Res Problem well im not going to use ubuntu on that computer | 20:45 |

| susanna777 | uh i just signed up | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | good | 20:46 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: can you get command prompt? | 20:46 |
| astro76 | anoble: that really doesn't change the fact that you need to restore a *windows* mbr | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | that means I should be able to private message you | 20:46 |
| tacone | susanna777: I guess your best bet is installing windows from scratch on a virtual machine, without porting your actual partition to it | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | and you shoudl be able to reply | 20:46 |

| blah569 | How do I use a "(*.bin)" file in Ubuntu? | 20:47 |
| RichW | xomp: I will post that to linux mailing list shortly | 20:47 |
| tacone | sebsebseb: didn't she had a installation disk ? she told so | 20:47 |
| anoble | bazhang: yes | 20:47 |
| anoble | bazhang: and this problem arose bec of this | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | susanna777: you have no Windows XP CD? | 20:47 |
| unstable | ok, I was hoping someone could go step by step with me on this. I have Ubuntu Hardy as my parents desktop, with an HP printer conneted via usb. The desktop prints fine, everything works. They have an additional Windows Vista laptop, and I can't get this to print. And they are starting to hint they want Hardy removed and Vista put on the Desktop. | 20:47 |
| tacone | sebsebseb: porting an existing installation is non-trivial | 20:47 |
| susanna777 | it was preloaded on my computer, no xp disk | 20:47 |
| tacone | susanna777: ok, I see. | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | tacone: I have copyed another computer with VMware converter I know what to do with that :) | 20:47 |
| xomp | RichW, thanks, any way to track any progress if any? | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | tacone: yes usually it is probably best to start from scratch, but that's another weay | 20:47 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: there was a troubleshooting section at bottom of that tutorial with commands for getting it going with vesa drivers | 20:47 |
| tacone | sebsebseb: ok, nice :D- | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | tacone: or to sort out an XP CD | 20:48 |
| Lynet | anoble: What happened is that grub is looking for some files on your linux partition, and bugs out since the partition is deleted now. The way to fix is to reset the master boot record of the HD you are booting from to the default windows boot record. | 20:48 |
| damntourists | legend2440: yeah i tried following that and it didn't work either | 20:48 |
| evilbug | arbir- it won't show anything past 1024x800 | 20:48 |
| bazhang | anoble windows must have some recover windows disk option best to ask in their channel as I have no clear idea about that-->should be an easy fix though provided you have a windows disk | 20:48 |

| RichW | ubuntino: The link didnt help so much.. the user is in the admin group.. i even logged in and out | 20:48 |
| damntourists | legend2440: the only thing that worked was restoring my xorg.conf from backup... which might not exist anymore lol | 20:48 |
| unstable | stefg: my desktop is statically set at 192.168.1.142, and in cups http://192.168.1.142:631 , it says "show printers shared by other systems, check" "share published printers connected to this system, check" "allow printing from ther Internet, check", and "allow remote administration, check" | 20:48 |
| Whitesox2007 | is there a command similar to iwconfig for hardlines instead of wireless? | 20:48 |

| arbir | evilbug: scroll down and add a resolution to the already existing ones and restart your display manager.. if its not stable, then switch back to the original one | 20:49 |
| bazhang | Whitesox2007: ifconfig | 20:49 |
| norv | Whitesox2007: iwconfig is only for the wireless part, ifconfig once you have physical link | 20:49 |

| wabbit | arbir: if youre talking about those cdrom shares those are from the sample config | 20:59 |
| arbir | evilbug: i have that same thing.. dont worry... concentrate on ur xorg file | 20:59 |
| damntourists | legend2440: yeah but the display is real slow... i need to find a better method for this :( | 20:59 |
| amego | lsusb | 20:59 |
| wabbit | arbir: the only share i have the everything share | 20:59 |
| arbir | no wabbit i am talking about your [HOMES] | 20:59 |
| evilbug | arbir- but why is it showing up like that? | 20:59 |
| damntourists | legend2440: i'm super tempted to just invest in a nvidia card | 20:59 |
| ravi_master | amego: can't get my hard drive to auto mount on Ubuntu | 20:59 |
| ravi_master | amego: and it doesn't seem to show up in lsusb either | 20:59 |
| wabbit | arbir: those are from the sample config | 20:59 |
| amego | :D | 20:59 |
| wabbit | not me | 20:59 |

| amego | really | 20:59 |
| amego | ? | 20:59 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: in terminal type fglrxinfo whats it say? | 20:59 |
| wabbit | the only share i have is the [everything] share | 21:00 |
| ravi_master | amego: yep, weird since it works just fine on my laptop | 21:00 |
| ravi_master | amego: which also runs Ubuntu | 21:00 |
| arbir | evilbug: you probably applied latest updates.. so it has a new kernel for you | 21:00 |
| twistedbeatfreek | someone help me with sound card stuff i cant make mine work | 21:00 |
| damntourists | legend2440: hold on | 21:00 |
| arbir | wabbit: i am seeing it... i have never worked with [everything] before | 21:00 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: anything like OpenGL renderer string: ATI RADEON 9600 Series? | 21:00 |
| evilbug | arbir- shouldn't the new kernel be overwritten though? | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | Harware diagnostics tutorial session coming up in #ubuntu-classroom | 21:00 |
| blade_ | join #olug | 21:00 |
| arbir | evilbug: normally they wont overwrite. becaue, if your new kernel does not work well, you can revert back to the old kernel | 21:00 |
| damntourists | legend2440: "fglrxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 21:01 |
| wabbit | arbir: i added it, do i need to uncomment [homes] to get my everything share to work? | 21:01 |
| arbir | wabbit: {everything] is something new to me | 21:01 |
| amego | hello | 21:01 |
| arbir | wabbit: i will have to read up | 21:01 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: like i said i have radeon. if you want we could compare the fglrx* packages that are installed. maybe something that should be installed isn't | 21:01 |
| wabbit | [everything] is the name of the share | 21:01 |
| wabbit | i dont think it has any significance | 21:01 |
| damntourists | legend2440: sure, how do we do that? | 21:01 |
| legend2440 | damntourists: open synaptic and in search box enter fglrx | 21:02 |
| evilbug | arbir- i opened up xorg.conf and i'm not seeing any resolutions. | 21:02 |

| Brick-To-Face | Hey there, I have a Linux/Win32 question. I have set up a samba share on my ubuntu desktop (lates stable) comp. I have several XPhome boxes and Using the share is awkward. They can't access \\[comp]\[share] because they try to connect using their current user/pass. Worse, once they try this, they "map" the share with that user/pass, and there is no way to reconnect with a diff user/pass. The only | 21:35 |
| Brick-To-Face | way to use the share is to reboot and use the "Map network drive feature", does anyone know how to force XPhome to connect with an altenate user/pass, or how to get the samba server to force a user/pass request? | 21:35 |

| Nemesis159 | hi | 21:41 |
| RB2 | Does anyone know where I can find the HomeUserBackup application? I installed it from Synaptic but there's no menu item and I can't find the command in any of the usual locations. | 21:41 |
| KeithWeisshar | i downloaded the dvd via torrent, the 64-bit version | 21:41 |
| ldiamond | how do I start ubuntu in rescue mode? | 21:42 |
| Nemesis159 | i got a silly question | 21:42 |
| Cyntrox | graingert: I just got the output. "mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only" | 21:42 |
| ldiamond | from the CD | 21:42 |
| remoteCTRL | arbir: have you tryed art manager? can really recommend that one | 21:42 |
| ere4si | RB2: type it in a terminal | 21:42 |
| astro76 | RB2: did you check system > administration ? | 21:42 |
| KeithWeisshar | why does the 64-bit version only work on my pc and not under virtualbox | 21:42 |
| matthew_ | graingert: would I do: www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL ? | 21:42 |
| matthew_ | in the sudoers file? | 21:42 |
| DanaG | Remember to edit sudoers with 'visudo' | 21:42 |
| astro76 | matthew_: you can specify individual commands, you probably should do so for security reasons | 21:42 |
| graingert | matthew_: Im not sure I don't think all is a good idea | 21:42 |
| arbir | remoteCTRL: in the other menu, this program is sitting....called Theme Installer.. when i click it.. i see a busy cursor and then nothing happens | 21:42 |
| DanaG | or else you can get syntax errors and break sudo. | 21:42 |
| KeithWeisshar | virtualbox gives an error message saying it requiresa 64-bit cpu and i586 is detected | 21:42 |
| RB2 | astro76, I would have never thought to look there. Thanks! I expected it to be in System Tools | 21:43 |

| fyrmedic | prince_jammys; thanks | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | fyrmedic: yes the stuff for running those KDE apps could be on it's own without KDE GUI itself. however if something later on goes wrong with Ubuntu, then at least you culd open up Kubuntu | 22:25 |

| critt | Installed Ubuntu 8.04. Emerald theme manager import theme and select it. but nothing changes. Any Ideas why? | 22:32 |
| matthew_ | how do I use something other than vim to edit my sudoers file, cuz vim is really confusing me | 22:32 |
| remoteCTRL | Millertime_018: no problem there! | 22:32 |
| spenser | ipei: right now you have one screen at the resolution and one at the wrong in twin view is that correct? | 22:32 |
| crdlb | critt: because you didn't switch from gtk-window-decorator to emerald? | 22:32 |
| prince_jammys | matthew_: use the visudo program | 22:32 |
| spenser | ipei: right resolution | 22:32 |
| ipei | spenser: Yeah, correct... :) | 22:32 |
| === noelferreira is now known as jimba | ||
| matthew_ | visudo uses vim by default, how can I change that? | 22:32 |
| hemelskonijn | so as far as i can c there are two ways to go for me ... 1 loose the pass some how ... or 2 get me keyboard to work | 22:32 |
| === drjackzon is now known as drjackzoff | ||

| fredl | hemelskonijn, with older systems, not laptops though, you could sometimes lose the password by resetting the BIOS with a jumper. | 22:33 |
| remoteCTRL | Millertime_018: sure i can | 22:33 |
| spenser | ipei: have you tried using xrandr to adjust that second screenm | 22:33 |
| spenser | ? | 22:33 |
| atlef | ldiamond: are you downloading the alternate cd? | 22:34 |
| hemelskonijn | tried that alreadya nd thoug me settings are flushed the pass is still there | 22:34 |
| ipei | spenser: No... Whats that? I can try to use it... | 22:34 |
| jimba | my system is completey unstable. the letters are not inserted. i need to wait one second before each press in the keyboards. other times its start to write indefinetelly. and my crtl and hift keys are mad. anyknow bug? i am using compiz and amd64 | 22:34 |
| blah561 | Why does this happen to me? Every once in a while, when I open an application, they do not fully load, and I must "force quit" them. This happens for every application. I need to "power off," as the "Shutdown" menu does not open, as well. | 22:34 |

| ipei | spenser: Ok... :) | 22:35 |
| fredl | hemelskonijn, what kind of laptop is it? maybe you could call their support helpdesk and bring it in for service. They all have their backdoor BIOS pwd's anyway. | 22:35 |
| blah561 | Any ideas why? | 22:35 |
| hemelskonijn | lol i got the backdoor passes ... but i cant ype them in !! | 22:35 |
| hemelskonijn | lol | 22:35 |

| Millertime_018 | remoteCTRL: is that all you have to do, is delete the old entries? | 22:37 |
| hemelskonijn | might wanna jumpstart the thing though there are some (more than i like) risks | 22:37 |

I appear to still have everything installed needed to play them, but neither Banshee nor Rhytmbox will play them. Is there something I need to install post-upgrade to get this functionality back? | 22:38 |
| omer | cvd-pr: ok,thank you :( | 22:38 |
| cybojanek | Hi. Does anyone know how to setup 7.1 speaker upmix? | 22:38 |
| fredl | hemelskonijn, somehow you need to boot up from a DOS floppy to install the BIOS upgrade. | 22:38 |
| abourlac | hello | 22:38 |
| fredl | hemelskonijn, except... the laptop doesn't have a floppy drive. | 22:38 |
| atlef | ervis: please elaborate | 22:38 |

| remoteCTRL | greenleaf: go to your soundsettings and change the output device to pulseaudio | 22:39 |
| hemelskonijn | good thinking fredl ... and well it would ahve been a way out though is doesnt seem to boot the bios upgrade diskette and since i dont have a password i have to do it blind (bios safety repair system) | 22:39 |

| hemelskonijn | i have a usb floppy drive and a diskettw wif a valid bios .. it spins the disk and than dies | 22:39 |
| fredl | hemelskonijn, so I figured let's boot from the CD, then you get into all sorts of hellish 'either burn a floppy image to CD but the floppy image is too small to hold the BIOS updates, never mind that the friggen CD has MUCH more space on it' | 22:39 |

| gord_ | hemelskonijn, fredl, hey good idea maybe auto-loads the bios (some old compaq like that) and overwrite the cmos. even try same verion as now might auto-blank it? | 22:41 |

| rignes | yell0w: What is this update-rc.conf you mention? | 22:52 |
| arbir | remoteCTRL: emerald theme mgr is open.. and i even selected one theme, but nothing happens | 22:52 |
| remoteCTRL | arbir: but seriously do you want french menu buttons?;) | 22:52 |
| localgod11 | Ever since I installed Nvidia controls my box freezes up | 22:52 |
| Simonft | hemelskonijn: the memory is saved to the hard drive and it is shut down | 22:52 |
| rignes | gord_: I've never had to do tosmething like that before, in other distros or in gutsy, but I'll try. | 22:52 |
| arbir | remoteCTRL: no no no ... i am dead as it is.... configuring my desktop GUI takes for ever | 22:52 |
| yell0w | rignes: it's update-rc.d actually | 22:53 |
| === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak | ||
| gord_ | rignes, hmm, yeah i not sure if I've made that up myself, might be worth a google lol | 22:53 |
| yell0w | rignes: put your shell script into /etc/init.d then sudo update-rc.d scriptname | 22:53 |
| remoteCTRL | arbir: if you do it with love it does:) | 22:53 |
| localgod11 | I am trying to get Twinview working anyone have any experience? | 22:53 |
| arbir | remoteCTRL: i am doing it with lots of love :-) | 22:53 |
| remoteCTRL | arbir: then take your time gg | 22:54 |
| yell0w | rignes: that puts your scriptname into boot sequence | 22:54 |
| DanaG | WTF? Something just randomly played the login sound on my built-in sound card! | 22:54 |
| rignes | yell0w: I'm not understading why I need to run that though. Shouldn't it already be running rc.local on boot? And thus just run the lines that I put in automatically like it did in Gutsy? | 22:54 |
| arbir | remoteCTRL: i started up emerald theme manager.. i imported a emerald theme and now i dont know how to use it... | 22:54 |
| DanaG | Loudly. | 22:54 |
| blankhead | anyone know how to download torrents via shell/terminal??? | 22:54 |
| yell0w | rignes: oh just an alternative | 22:54 |
| rignes | yell0w: It's just rc.local and it already has a symlink in rc2.d. I clearly must not be getting something. | 22:54 |
| pop | hello | 22:54 |
| hemelskonijn | localgod11 is there anything permantently changed when you go in to hybernation ?? | 22:54 |
| John_S | For anyone using ndiswrapper for their wireless, can you change your MTU? Does ndiswrapper support changing MTU, and its determined by your whether your Windows driver supports it, or is it simply not supported? | 22:54 |
| rignes | yell0w: Oh, ok. I think I get waht you were trying to say.. | 22:54 |
| hemelskonijn | and are like keyboard and mouse shut down ? | 22:55 |
| gorgapor | i've got the error message "Error activating XKB configuration", and my dvorak layout won't work | 22:55 |
| localgod11 | hemelskonijn: what? | 22:55 |
| rignes | As in make anothe script and add that using update-rc.d. | 22:55 |
| rignes | That's a possability. | 22:55 |
| remoteCTRL | arbir: to me honest i dont know either | 22:55 |
| rignes | for a work around anyway. | 22:55 |
| gord_ | blankhead: well, i think i get you, u want a BT clint for your fone, but i think its best to just down-torrent it to the PC then SSH it across to the fone, using scp or sftp etc | 22:55 |
| pop | is the webcam detected aund installed automatically , under linux ? | 22:55 |

| remoteCTRL | arbir: i basically use metacities | 22:56 |
| arbir | wabkia: sudo /etc/init.d/samba start | 22:56 |
| hemelskonijn | at least not during the bios pasword post | 22:56 |
| arbir | remoteCTRL:what is metacities | 22:56 |
| rignes | Would someone be willing to try adding a line to their rc.local and see if it runs on boot in a stock hardy system? It would really make me feel less crazy if someone else could replicate the problem. | 22:56 |
| hemelskonijn | wich sucks since i have a bios boot pasword | 22:56 |
| ipei | !paste | 22:56 |

| jason_ | ubuntu wouldn't recoggnize my cd drive. is there anything i need to install to make it works? | 22:56 |

| ariqs | and I'm just wondering what might be wrong | 23:11 |
| spenser | ipei: essential if you had one really big monitor and all the pixels from both displays were in it how big would it need to be | 23:11 |
| neopsyche | $hit.. drug related questions get answers but no real help. hmm.. could someone not on drugs please help me with tv card recording issue? | 23:12 |
| hemelskonijn | ariqs running winblows ?? | 23:12 |
| jc | ariqs: can you read the DVD in totum? | 23:12 |
| remoteCTRL | jc: did you try apt-get install without packages as it says in the error message? | 23:12 |
| spenser | ipei: thats what the virtual directive sets | 23:12 |
| Simonft | dampit07: try burning another dvd | 23:12 |
| ipei | spesner: Ok, but I can have my LCD monitor in 1920x1200, so thats higher than the virtual thingy | 23:12 |
| ariqs | jc: I can't read dvds on totem anyway, but I can't read it in VLC | 23:12 |
| ariqs | and it's not hte right side anyway | 23:12 |
| remoteCTRL | neopsyche: no | 23:12 |
| ariqs | heme: no, I don't have any problems in windows. It's using linux where issues spring up ;) | 23:12 |
| spenser | ipei: yea thats an anamoly but xrandr wont work unless you set this high enough | 23:12 |
| ipei | spenser: Oh, my bad... I resteted the xserver >:< I'm runnign in that mode now... >.< | 23:13 |
| knoeki | remoteCTRL: I do have an NVidia card, I can't install the propritary driver though, because either my whole xorg gets f'd up, or I have to install the 71xx driver ( even though my card is supposed to support later drivers ) but that's not possible either, because the NVidia install program for that doesn't work, it refuses to compile, as it says my kernel was compiled with gcc 2.1 ( which is very unlikely.. ) | 23:13 |
| neopsyche | doh.. everyone is on drugs! | 23:13 |
| dampit07 | Simonft: and i have a copy of 7.04 that i put in my computer and restarted. It started to install, but because my cd is scratched to hell...it errored out | 23:13 |

| jc | ariqs: if you can't read the DVD then k9 can't copy it, have you installed the DVD codecs? | 23:14 |
| remoteCTRL | jc: i wouldnt recommend that either... | 23:14 |
| spenser | ipei: ok so you want 1920x1200 and 1248x1024 so the virtual directive should be 1920+1248x1200 | 23:14 |
| neopsyche | using ubuntu for me has been like hitting head against brick wall but less fun | 23:14 |

| Simonft | neopsyche: restate the problem | 23:14 |
| jc | ariqs: I forget exactly how but I think you have to install a restricted package - does anyone remember the name of the codec package? | 23:14 |
| ipei | spenser: Yeah... ok. I try that | 23:14 |
| ariqs | jc: I can read it with VLC. I didn't purposely install any codecs, but VLC obviously had to install some libraries for it ofr it to work | 23:14 |
| remoteCTRL | how was that command to fix broken dependencies? something llike dpkg -f --configure or ...? | 23:14 |
| spenser | ipei: better to leave alil room | 23:15 |
| ariqs | jc: hmm | 23:15 |
| neopsyche | It takes like weeks to get things done / installed .. wheras windows .. although buggy works with most things.. with one click install. | 23:15 |

| ipei | spenser: I took 3000 x 1400 now then... | 23:15 |

| knoeki | remoteCTRL: on gentoo I could simply mask all packages with higher versions, but I haven't found a simple way to do this on Ubuntu. | 23:17 |
| remoteCTRL | knoeki: humm strange as i said for me that one fixed it, sry... | 23:17 |

| dampit07 | Simonft: well i guess i will just download the 8.04 again... | 23:18 |
| remoteCTRL | Millertime_018: only if that operating system has been removed from the hard disk, and basically if those lines are uncommented you only do see the the new one? | 23:19 |
| gord_ | hemelskonijn: ok, i was thinking your first few attempts have locked you out now so the chip has popped | 23:19 |
| neopsyche | Simonft: VLC = COMPLICATED Mythtv=complicated Xawtv = no audio recording metv = same problem xine = no v4l recording etc. etc. ITS LIKE.. this is a nightmare .. THERE are NO easy to use timed recording software for ubuntu .. NONE .. they either have dependency issues / wont install / wont work properly / or you have to have a degree in computer science specialising in video drivers development and | 23:19 |
| neopsyche | streaming to use / and windows .. driver for card is non existant.. FOr anyone who has a solution .. that would be much appreciated. | 23:19 |

| Mao | hi, how are you= | 23:32 |
| spenser | hemelskonijn: I'm talking about a physical jumber on the motherboard of your laptop | 23:32 |
| gord_ | blankhead: yeah the -X option will eXport the applications X-window to your end of the SSH connection, and open it locally on your display, BUT i know you're using a fone right? mayeb won't work if no X-windows system on the fone end | 23:32 |
| blankhead | Cpudan80: no im just trying to make the pc im tapping into display and also run the software...i dont want to show it on my remote terminal | 23:32 |
| Simonft | neopsyche: just try running the command lines they tell you to | 23:32 |
| spenser | ipei: therfore sometings wrong with xorg.conf | 23:32 |
| wabkia | also, when i boot it trys to scan the filesystems, then it asks me for the root password. however no matter what i put it says wrong password =\ | 23:32 |
| Hammer89 | I'm having a problem where there are two items in my trash that I can't delete... it's giving me a permissions error... so I ran nautilus as root and navigated to my normal home dir... and looked in the .Trash folder... but the files aren't there... did the way Ubuntu handles trash change from 7.10 to 8.04? any help would be appreciated | 23:32 |
| zelrikriando | gord_: what about the -Y option? | 23:32 |
| hemelskonijn | spenser cant find one di pull the battery out for a hwile though | 23:32 |
| spenser | ipei: blah | 23:32 |
| jrib | secleinteer: ah, well I have not used the dvd recently, but no I don't think you can do that. Easiest solution is probably for you to just burn two CDs | 23:32 |
| secleinteer | jrib: ok, thanks a lot for your help! | 23:33 |
| Mao | hi Dj Admiral!!! :() | 23:33 |
| DJAdmiral | Yes, hi. Do you have a question, Mao? | 23:33 |
| spenser | hemelskonijn: that wont work the only way to fix it is to reset bios using a motherboard jumper or finding the clock battery and taking it out | 23:33 |
| blankhead | gord_: thats right i used rtorrent which works good but the problem is is that its dependent on my remote terminal...so if i close this remote terminal it cancels the download all together i rather have the pc do all the work so even if i close my remote terminal and such i still can come home and watch it download | 23:33 |
| hemelskonijn | spenser it ook out the bios batt | 23:34 |

| laeg | how do i configure default applications to open files? i thought it wouldm give me the option when i opened them with the app | 23:34 |
| blankhead | gord_: i just want the program to do all the work...say i wanna close xchat or rhythmbox from my terminal i can | 23:34 |
| Nitrox_ | Anyone feel like helping me get my sound card setup? :) | 23:34 |
| spenser | ipei: hmm | 23:34 |
| djones_ | !screen | blankhead: Have you looked into "screen"? | 23:34 |
| ubottu | blankhead: Have you looked into "screen"?: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 23:34 |
| hemelskonijn | date and time where reset still i cant type during the pass part of booting up | 23:34 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: whats the problem? | 23:35 |
| gord_ | blankhead: haha no probs, u just need to add a nohup to the commandline to start the program, so it doesnt stop when u droip the ssh terminal | 23:35 |
| === tof is now known as ubuntof | ||
| Mao | oh sorry, I thought that this was to have a conversation | 23:35 |
| spenser | ipei: try backing up your xorg.conf then reseting your xorg.conf with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 23:35 |
| neopsyche | Simonft: thanks for your help | 23:35 |
| gord_ | blankhead, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup | 23:35 |
| Nitrox_ | remoteCTRL: well, it's not listed in devices in the system prefs, and checking the alsa page it's my chipset isn't supported there (Intel ICH8)...but from googling around a bit it's supported out of the box in hardy heron | 23:35 |
| spenser | ipei: then add that virtual directive to the new xorg | 23:35 |
| spenser | ipei: then restart x again | 23:36 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: no problem there with ich8, what says lspci? | 23:36 |
| DJAdmiral | Yes, this is for linux support discussion only. For offtopic chat, you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:36 |
| spenser | hemelskonijn: wait so is it trying to boot a kernel ? | 23:37 |
| localgod12 | ahhh my hardy install keeps freezing | 23:37 |
| blankhead | gord_: thanks gord but im just wondering...this will give me the ability to open programs and close them and have them display on the pc im tapping into? u know what i mean...like if i tap limewire from my remote terminal and im looking at my pc willl i see limewire pop up? | 23:37 |
| ipei | spenser: Ok... I'll do that... | 23:37 |
| hemelskonijn | spenser nope its a bios password though my keyboard wont work since i let my computer hybernate | 23:37 |
| spenser | hemelskonijn: the only thing is look for that motherboard bios reset | 23:37 |
| dwidmann_ | can't seem to get apt to behave :( ... http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d6f43638 ... this should allow me to force downgrade with the upgrade command right? (ie: priority greater than 1k) | 23:37 |

| gord_ | blankhead, quite frankly i dont know, i never do that myself, i'd say no,u wont see the prog's window at the PC head end, but i'd probably be wrong :) needs a try | 23:38 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: that is a good sign, if you open sound do you see something in the output device dropdown that seems to be that card? | 23:39 |

| gord_ | blankhead: its acually ssh -X x in uppercase, in *nix case matters a lot! | 23:41 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: i want so know if your kernel has any sound modules loaded | 23:41 |
| Heston | DJAdmiral, is that a package or a setting somewhere? | 23:41 |
| redhawk | Greetings | 23:41 |
| mDemocritus | !paste | Nitrox_ | 23:41 |

| _sp8472_ | since Hardy, my touch pad seems is malfunctioning: it to use some form of absolute positioning, i.e., if I push on it in the lower left corner, the mouse cursor jumps to that corner after about a second. | 23:41 |
| blankhead | gord_:thanks alot i know if it tried small x iw ould've given up thank u..i heard somethign called freenx or somethign was suppose to be real good but is that hard to setup? | 23:42 |

| Wing_ | Backing up my /home's before migrating my last box to Hardy. I'll be honest, I was very unimpressed with 7.06 and 7.10 - they both rotted and went wrong very quickly compared to 6.whatever | 23:43 |

| Jezz | i cant create new partitions when im in the installer? | 23:44 |

| Jezz | oh | 23:44 |
| spenser | ipei: how it work? | 23:44 |
| Stormcr0w | Any ideas? | 23:45 |
| spenser | ipei: what does xrandr say | 23:45 |
| Jezz | yeah i created one partition for ubuntu | 23:45 |
| _sp8472_ | T1m0thy: i'm still struggling with it myself, and a number of other issues since the upgrade. try #ipw2100, they may be able to help | 23:45 |
| DJAdmiral | Stormcr0w: In what order are you installing these three systems? | 23:45 |
| Jezz | but it didnt see it | 23:45 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: whats the error so? | 23:45 |
| pop | cHoke, choose manual , and create a new partition on your disk , entirely reserved for ubuntu | 23:45 |
| gord_ | yeah NX/freeNX is good system, very lean, but u need to have a client on the fone-end (dunno, unlikely). We all normally just use ssh -X i guess, one prog at a time, but u can for example (connecting via ssh -X) do $ firefox & then $ sudo mc & to open a few Xwindows at a time, try it with Xclock and Xcalc , they are quick to load and test u see | 23:45 |
| cHoke | argh... thats going to make me *apparently* remove all data on my hdd tho | 23:45 |
| ipei | spenser: I believe that it will messup again if I use nvidia-settings. But I haven't tried... | 23:45 |

| spenser | it prob will | 23:45 |
| cHoke | o if i have room | 23:46 |

| spenser | ipei: it may | 23:46 |
| cHoke | if i format one partition and install ubuntu on that, would that work? | 23:46 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: now that sounds messed upXD | 23:46 |

| Signil | I having some prob with bluetooth.. cant send anything from my mobile to hardy.. :s "sending failed" | 23:46 |
| spenser | ipei: its based on xrandr and should work | 23:46 |

| Stormcr0w | DJAdmiral: XP and Vista are both installed on the same IDE disk, on two separate partitions. Each partition is 40GB. Ubuntu needs to be installed on an external USB drive, 160GB ( I have allotted 5GB swap space for it) | 23:47 |
| Simonft | SeaPhor: yes, try a torrent | 23:47 |
| cHoke | u mean the type its formatted? NTFS FAT etc? | 23:47 |
| mDemocritus | SeaPhor: probably... you might want to just torrent the cd | 23:47 |
| laeg | how do i configure default applications to open files? selecting a script in properties > open with > doesn't work | 23:47 |
| Scunizi | SeaPhor: you could get synaptic to search for a faster mirror.. | 23:47 |
| remoteCTRL | Nitrox_: do you happen to be on a thinkpad? | 23:47 |
| gord_ | blankhead: in a similar theme, google for vnc and X11vnc. vnc opens a new "display" whereas X11VNC opens the _existing_ desktop display, althoug requires extra work to do so. Much easier with ssh -X, one at a time ;) | 23:47 |

| Stormcr0w | DJAdmiral: Ubuntu sees all partitions. However, when it reaches the point where it should ask you to import data from other accounts/OS's, it fails to locate them. | 23:51 |
| spenser | ipei: the newest versions of xorg dont require xorg.conf but usually it still creates one | 23:51 |

| DJAdmiral | Stormcr0w: or you could install grub directly from your livecd and pinpoint which exact hard disk you want it on. | 23:56 |
| clem | bachstudies: yes | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | clem: the system you currently have installed | 23:56 |

| wabkia | is there an unmount command? | 23:56 |

| DJAdmiral | Stormcr0w: After install. From your ubuntu livecd, pop open a terminal and type in | 23:57 |
| eboyjr | Is there a key shortcut that will open a terminal.... i think it has and F1-F5 key or something... | 23:57 |
