| tanath | Wannabe, alsa & esd are sound servers. they're supposed to sit between apps playing sound and the sound card. they can't all access the sound card at once, so instead you use a sound server, and all apps tell it to play sound instead | 00:15 |
| Rico0100 | ty cirkit | 00:15 |

| jrib | Crescendo: so /bar/FletchCon didn't exist before? | 00:16 |
| Crescendo | jrib: correct | 00:16 |
| jrib | MagoonD: use the command line and pastebin the result (and your command) | 00:16 |
| Stormcr0w | jrib: so that whenever I double-click on it, or would like to save something in there, I can point the system to the home music folder, instead of browsing every time | 00:16 |
| MagoonD | jrib, i remember doing something like unrar v ..... in the past to extract them | 00:16 |
| jrib | Crescendo: only way to undo is with your backups | 00:16 |

Any ideas? Its not a wireless mouse. Its a corded Logitech. Ive tried a non-name brand mouse, doesn't work. I've also tried a wired mouse. | 00:29 |

| Styles__ | Wannabe: I don't know how to get it, let alone get into a terminal to get ahold of it.. :P | 00:30 |
| Styles__ | Since the mouse doesn't work | 00:31 |
| Creationist | jrib: When the man page says "expr" is that saying I use a regex for that? | 00:31 |

| Creationist | Wannabe: It's a capital X, isn't it? | 00:32 |

| gwong | Hello I have, ubuntu on my computer with windows vista, the vista partition used to mount, now it does not. Any help? | 00:55 |
| tanath | mgl445, sorry, that was meant for someone else | 00:55 |
| mgl445 | tanath: thats fine | 00:55 |
| tanath | mgl445, what was the card again? | 00:55 |
| Ahadiel | gwong, Do you have ntfs-3g installed? | 00:55 |
| doug_ | how do i mount ntfs with read/write and have it mount every time. | 00:55 |
| darthanubis | hows that fix coming for the crashing Firefox and flash deal? | 00:55 |
| gwong | Ahdiel ... dunno | 00:55 |
| Samonoske | Sorry guys. I'm new to linux. I've only recently started using it. Just build a new computer. and i was told that ubuntu was a better than debian..just wanted to learn more about it. | 00:55 |
| tanath | mgl445, was it ES1888? | 00:55 |
| mgl445 | tanath: ad1888 onboard sound for k8u-x windows driver is made by soundmax/adi | 00:55 |
| darthanubis | Samonoske, google | 00:55 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: download, unzip, make the .bin file executable (right click >properties> permissions tab > Check executing box | 00:55 |
| Ahadiel | gwong, dpkg -l | grep ntfs <== I think that's to check if you have it | 00:56 |
| gwong | Ahdiel I do | 00:56 |
| tarelerulz | gwong rin ntfsfix on the partition might help ,but you have to have the package that the program is in to to run the program | 00:56 |
| jedimind | would you guys recommend something other than WINE for better performance? more specifically for photoshop; i find that the redraw rates are sluggish at best w/ WINE | 00:56 |
| darthanubis | Samonoske, one quick search you'll find thats nonesense. | 00:56 |
| nickellery | <Samonoske> have a look at the help files here https://help.ubuntu.com for more information | 00:56 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: then double click, run i think | 00:56 |
| gwong | Ahadiel, I do | 00:56 |
| Dianabol | if ktorrent is for KDE where can i find the equivalent for gnome? or does it matter? | 00:56 |
| Ahadiel | gwong, Have you tried mounting it manually? | 00:56 |
| gwong | no, I dont know how | 00:56 |
| darthanubis | Samonoske, read a lot first | 00:56 |
| Ahadiel | Dianabol, It doesn't matter, but try deluge or transmission | 00:56 |
| jedimind | Dianabol: there's transmit which comes w/ ubuntu | 00:56 |
| jedimind | transmission thats it | 00:56 |
| Ahadiel | gwong, sec | 00:56 |
| gwong | Ahadiel ok, thanks | 00:56 |
| darthanubis | Deluge is the best | 00:56 |

| tanath | amirman84, well it requires some, but it makes it easy. and you can tell it to download the info and fill it in automatically | 01:19 |
| bazhang | !pt | CelsoLeite | 01:19 |
| ubottu | CelsoLeite: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 01:19 |
| tanath | amirman84, uses cddb | 01:19 |
| amirman84 | bobbins: what kind of wireless card do you have? | 01:19 |
| mgl445 | bobbins: i prolly wont be able to help but you should specify what wireless card it is etc | 01:19 |
| amirman84 | tanath: i guess i'll need to get that too | 01:19 |
| tanath | !wireless | 01:20 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:20 |
| tanath | bobbins, try that ^ | 01:20 |
| randomoutburst | i was going to install 8.04 and during the partition process i got confused and instead of splitting my hard drive into two partions i made it into one 20gig partition so now windows wont boot, i download testdisk so i just write testdisk MBR code to first sector? | 01:20 |
| bobbins | cheers I did.. still not getting any luck | 01:20 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: unfortunatly el (eternal lands) doesn't have a launcher included so you have to make your own. I made mine by running these commands: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10368/ | 01:20 |
| mgl445 | bobbins: what wireless card | 01:20 |
| amirman84 | tanath: that's one of the best features i've seen in any music manager/player, open source teams should really check out winamp and borrow some features | 01:20 |
| bobbins | and i only downloaded and ran ubuntu the other day.. so a real unbuntu newbie! lol | 01:21 |
| randomoutburst | ? would that fix the problem? | 01:21 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: it's nearly done downloading, thanks | 01:21 |
| bobbins | its a broadcom 4306 | 01:21 |
| Name141 | What does it mean by "now with easy uninstall" ? Meaning that you can easily uninstall programs inside of the OS? or uninstall the OS? | 01:21 |
| tanath | amirman84, you can make it a feature request | 01:21 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: good | 01:21 |
| bobbins | i read the docs.. posted in the forum.. tried as best I can to do it myself without help | 01:21 |
| jlc | lightscribe web site says they have drivers for 64 bit windows systems. Is there anyway to use these drivers in ubuntu? | 01:21 |

| wawrhell | hollysmokes | 01:22 |
| wawrhell | lots of peeps here | 01:22 |
| amirman84 | tanath: good point. i guess i'll check out amarok and compare it to exaile and see which one really is best | 01:22 |
| tanath | amirman84, of course. different people like different things. ultimately, use whichever is best for you | 01:23 |
| jlc | has anybody got lightscribe to work with 8.04 AMD64? | 01:23 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: THIS IS A VIRUS!! MY MACAFEE DETECTED IT... j/k lol | 01:23 |
| darthanubis | bazhang, :/ neither of those options works on my machine. Adobe:/ Gnash does not even work | 01:23 |
| randomoutburst | ? any help? | 01:23 |
| tanath | amirman84, if you want something more slimmed down like winamp looks, audacious is similar | 01:23 |
| FAJALOU | are the forums down | 01:23 |
| FAJALOU | ? | 01:23 |
| st33med | yes | 01:23 |
| bazhang | darthanubis, sorry to hear that | 01:23 |
| Smib | yeah | 01:23 |
| FAJALOU | ahh, what would make sense | 01:23 |
| Bodsda | hey bazhang !! ;~) | 01:23 |
| bazhang | hi Bodsda ;] | 01:24 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: there are almost no viruses on linux, and macafee certainly doesn't work on ubuntu, even with wine | 01:24 |
| amirman84 | tanath: you're thinking the old winamp, the new winamp has millions of features and looks super glossy and fancy, and you can dock it to the top of your screen in a thin bar | 01:24 |
| FAJALOU | well maybe someone here could help then, so basically, i have 2.31 gb of swap space, unfortunately, it is not automatically recognized at startup :\ | 01:24 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: is it done yet? | 01:24 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: i know, i was kidding :) | 01:24 |
| sevillian | how to install package i have dowonloaded it from the internet? | 01:24 |
| FAJALOU | how do i get it to be enabled at startup automatically? | 01:24 |
| tanath | caleb_, compiz works with mesa driver for me. using it now | 01:24 |
| darthanubis | bazhang, still appreciate the quick reply. Maybe I should just kill pulse? | 01:24 |
| amirman84 | yeah it's done, i'm about to install it with your directions | 01:24 |
| bazhang | sevillian, what package | 01:24 |

| Smib | how do I get xorg to stop maxing out my cpu? | 01:25 |
| Bodsda | darthanubis, having trouble with sound? | 01:25 |
| bazhang | darthanubis, switch to alsa? worth a shot | 01:25 |
| tanath | amirman84, true.. | 01:25 |
| Wannabe | Smib, lol, xorg using all cpu? | 01:25 |
| sevillian | <bazhang> a program | 01:25 |
| randomoutburst | does anyone know what i should do about my partition? | 01:25 |
| caleb_ | tanath: that is odd, when i go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, the ati driver is checked but it says it is not in use | 01:25 |
| randomoutburst | anyone familiar with testdisk? | 01:25 |
| darthanubis | Bodsda, sound is fine. But flash is crashing because of pulse. Realplayer does not use pulse. Helix does not play rtsp....:/ | 01:25 |
| Smib | Wannabe, yes, i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and now xorg is killing my cpu | 01:25 |
| bazhang | sevillian, what program-->please give the name thanks | 01:25 |
| tanath | caleb_, yeah, i had that too | 01:26 |
| sevillian | pcd8 | 01:26 |
| caleb_ | tanath: did you have to fix something? | 01:26 |
| tanath | caleb_, try playing with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 01:26 |
| Wannabe | Smib, i don't understand, it runs the same if not better for me | 01:26 |
| bazhang | sevillian, what is that and what does it do | 01:26 |
| X-plo | Hi i'm trying to run a game but I'm getting this output ^[[BFatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Faul | 01:26 |
| Bodsda | darthanubis, i think the pulseaudio thing is rubbish just do killall pulseaudio see if it fixes the problem | 01:26 |

| tanath | caleb_, use that to figure out which driver works for you, and gives you direct rendering | 01:26 |
| === bobbins is now known as bobbins2482 | ||
| Smib | Wannabe, that would make sense, but it still isn't happening for me | 01:26 |
| NetTroller | is there a way to use the native driver instead of the ndiswrapper...I think its causing all the freezing for me | 01:26 |

| Wannabe | Smib, waht made you come to the conclusion it's xorg | 01:27 |
| mgl445 | randomoutburst: did you overwrite the windows partition? | 01:27 |
| tanath | caleb_, to check for direct rendering, after you test a driver, run 'glxinfo | grep -i direct' in a terminal | 01:27 |
| sevillian | <bazhang> that a program enables me to get A support from my colloege | 01:27 |
| darthanubis | Bodsda, no that won't, its not that simple. If I kill pulse I have to switch every app back to alsa, and then tell pulse not to be the deault from boot. | 01:27 |
| mgl445 | randomoutburst: or just resize? | 01:27 |
| FAJALOU | hda 5 is actually hda4 but that shouldn't matter b/c it's commented out | 01:27 |

| jlc | lightscribe on 8.04 AMD64, anybody, anybody??? | 01:28 |
| Bodsda | darthanubis, i doubt it -- by default everything is set to use pulse but if that oes then it will revert to the next 'best' thing -- alsa its worth a try,.,.not gonna harm your system in anyway | 01:28 |
| darthanubis | Bodsda, I just have to skip the realmedia, and deal with a buggy flash, until zeus knows when? | 01:28 |

| bazhang | sevillian, need more info than what you have given me | 01:29 |
| tanath | caleb_, basically, play around with different drivers in displayconfig-gtk until you have one that works, and gives direct rendering. then you can enable compiz | 01:29 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: I think its sudo swapon | 01:29 |
| caleb_ | amirman86: yes | 01:29 |
| Smib | So I guess I have to reinstall | 01:29 |
| Wannabe | Smib, maybe | 01:29 |
| sevillian | <bazhang> like what? | 01:29 |
| FAJALOU | danbhfive: ya to turn it on i type in 'sudo swapon -v /dev/hda4 | 01:29 |

| orudie | what is the best movie player ? | 01:29 |
| Bodsda | !best | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:30 |
| caleb_ | tanith: i got a ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, so do you think i should do Radeon or Radeon (fglrx) | 01:30 |
| tanath | orudie, that's a matter of debate | 01:30 |
| tanath | orudie, many will say vlc, but i prefer mplayer | 01:30 |
| Anza | orudie, I love VLC | 01:30 |
| sevillian | <bazhang> any way how can i install any program on ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| Smib | I use Mplayer for most, but if it gives me trouble I go to VLC | 01:30 |
| orudie | tanath, how can i install mplayer / | 01:30 |
| Bodsda | !synaptic | sevillian | 01:30 |
| ubottu | sevillian: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 01:30 |
| FAJALOU | danbhfive: because normally swap is automatically enabled, but it's not | 01:30 |
| lmosher | I just installed hardy. For flash, which is better adobe flash player, Swfdec, or gnash? I've only ever used the adobe one... | 01:31 |
| tanath | orudie, you can install things with synaptic, or the add/remove shortcut on the applications menu | 01:31 |
| Scorchin | anyone know when an official flash plug-in will work with FF3b5? | 01:31 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: so after i paste the command in the gedit file do i save it? do i need to save it as a certain name or anything? | 01:31 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: try enabling swap with sudo swapon -a | 01:31 |
| FAJALOU | and so i can turn it on in gparted in ubuntu, but it's just easier w/ the command | 01:31 |
| Bodsda | lmosher, nonfree flash plugin available in repo's | 01:31 |
| tanath | orudie, the add/remove is basically a kid gloves version of synaptic | 01:31 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: paste and save, yes | 01:31 |
| orudie | tanath, i just did sudo-apt get install mplayer | 01:31 |
| lmosher | Bodsda, that's better than any of the 3 firefox suggests? What's the package name? | 01:31 |
| sevillian | <bazhang> thank you | 01:31 |
| tanath | orudie, that works :) | 01:31 |
| orudie | tanath, hope its a good way | 01:31 |
| Scorchin | Bodsda, the nonfree flash plugin seems to crash FF3b5 though | 01:31 |
| FAJALOU | danbhfive:swapon: cannot canonicalize /dev/disk/by-uuid/5a246b78-9901-48f2-8774-ec5b6525cf0b: No such file or directory | 01:31 |

| caleb_ | amirman84: change the caleb in that text into your home folder name | 01:31 |
| tanath | orudie, that's find. just most people prefer to avoid the terminal :P | 01:32 |
| tanath | *fine | 01:32 |
| FAJALOU | the only thing that works is 'sudo swapon -v /dev/hda4 | 01:32 |
| Bodsda | lmosher, actually -- the flsh plugin FF sugests i believe is the package -- search synaptic for flash should be easy to find | 01:32 |
| Bodsda | Scorchin, doesnt crash mine | 01:32 |

| orudie | tanath, after hours of getting things to work the way i want made me used to the terminal | 01:32 |
| FAJALOU | dave11 yah amarok works quite well | 01:32 |
| tanath | orudie, mplayer is a commandline player though | 01:32 |
| bazhang | dave11, sure there are many to choose from | 01:32 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: or more accurately with your help | 01:32 |
| tanath | orudie, there's gmplayer to give it a gui, but i dislike the gui | 01:32 |
| orudie | tanath, oh | 01:32 |
| dave11 | FAJALOU: thanks | 01:33 |
| FAJALOU | yah | 01:33 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: ok, so I'm guessing your fstab has the incorrect uuid. You can either grab the correct one from /dev/disk/bu-uuid OR just use /dev/hda4 | 01:33 |
| tanath | orudie, but i love it because it'll play anything, and you can do anything with it | 01:33 |
| tanath | orudie, including speed up and slow down | 01:33 |
| lmosher | Scorchin, I just installed flashplugin-nonfree using firefox (which called synaptic).. went no problem, flash is running pandora now. | 01:33 |
| dave11 | bazhang: do any paly .pls files like xmms did? | 01:33 |
| CyD | hey guys, got a crazy problem i wanted to relate.. pc isn't booting because '/bin/sh: file too large'. looking further, dash looks corrupt, reads as being exabytes big. trying to link to bash right now, wondering what could have happened! | 01:33 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: so you got it all unzipped and stuff already? | 01:33 |
| FAJALOU | ok danbhfive: yes that makes sense,,,, but when i want swap to automatically turn on at boot | 01:33 |
| Bodsda | dave11, past tense??? you can have xmms in ubuntu if you want it | 01:34 |
| FAJALOU | but even with sudo swapon -v /dev/hda4 in my session startup, i still manually have to go and set it up after every startup | 01:34 |
| bazhang | dave11, audacious is the successor to xmms; not sure if that supports pls or not--others to look at are listed above or /msg ubottu players | 01:34 |
| tanath | orudie, you can't seem to do that with any other player | 01:34 |
| UberCanuck | CyD, cracked maybe? | 01:34 |
| orudie | so ubuntu servers are slow atm ? the packages are downloading really slow | 01:34 |
| dave11 | Bodsda: i dont see it in the repositoies | 01:34 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: I think its failing at boot because your fstab is wrong, right? | 01:34 |

| Wannabe | X-plo, sudo apt-get install binutils-dev see if that gets anyfixes | 01:38 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: because you said to change the owner from root to me but you didnt mention the group setting | 01:38 |
| Bodsda | randomoutburst, the drive in question -- is it meant to be windows or ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| mgl445 | tanath: alright thanks | 01:38 |
| Gabyto | ubottu inglis | 01:38 |
| randomoutburst | originally it had windows xp on it yes if that is what you mean | 01:38 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: ya | 01:38 |
| frogmeat | Hi all, I just did the upgrade to 8.04 and firefox is not finding a server. Anyone know how to get back online? as most of you see, I am in fact online. | 01:38 |
| randomoutburst | actually it has nothing on it right now | 01:38 |
| frenzy | is there a way to do a install of ubuntu 8.04 with the live cd without formattting the drive? | 01:38 |
| bazhang | Gabyto, /join #ubuntu-es | 01:38 |
| randomoutburst | but yes it was meant to be a windows drive | 01:38 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: you can leave that the same, just change the access to read and write | 01:38 |
| jw5801 | t | 01:38 |
| Gabyto | not help =) | 01:38 |
| Bodsda | randomoutburst, well -- not anymore im afraid -- | 01:38 |
| Gabyto | Hello | 01:39 |
| UberCanuck | frogmeat, is firefox offline? | 01:39 |
| bobbins2482 | to frenzy cant you just run from the cd? | 01:39 |
| randomoutburst | ok so can i get the files back? | 01:39 |
| mojo | Does ubuntu (hardy) have an iptables-save and iptables-restore in it's startup/shutdown by defalut? if so, where? ALSO: Where does ubuntu modify the firewall when i, for instance, install Samba. Rather than my own script maybe i should be editing the system's own rules script??????? advice welcome | 01:39 |
| bobbins2482 | thats what i did for a while | 01:39 |
| UberCanuck | frogmeat, in the File menu somewhere | 01:39 |
| Y-Town | trying to load 8.04 and seems to be stuck at the partitioner loading... anyone seen that? | 01:39 |
| Bodsda | randomoutburst, the files from the windows drive? unlikely, sound like its been reformatted -- u could mount it and see whats on it | 01:39 |
| frogmeat | Ubercanuck no it isn't | 01:39 |
| frenzy | my upgrade of hardy is broken, beyond repair and i want to install from the cd, but i don't really want to format the drive | 01:39 |
| olpcsyd | #olpc-help | 01:40 |
| SuperSon1c | i'm sure it's been asked a million times, but ubuntuforums is down? | 01:40 |
| UberCanuck | Y-Town, open a Terminal and do a /sbin/fdisk -l | 01:40 |
| randomoutburst | how would i mount it? | 01:40 |
| FAJALOU | davehdfive: so the uuid for my swap WAS wrong, so now with it changed in fstab will restart fix (hopefully) or can i restart x? | 01:40 |
| DaySleeper555 | Y-Town Happened to me with 7.04 | 01:40 |
| bazhang | SuperSon1c, aye | 01:40 |
| frogmeat | Work offline is not chekced | 01:40 |
| SuperSon1c | thx man | 01:40 |
| Starnestommy | SuperSon1c: database error | 01:40 |
| UberCanuck | frogmeat, rest of your system is connected correct? | 01:40 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: it's all done now... let me try it and see what happens | 01:40 |
| SuperSon1c | yar that. | 01:40 |
| frogmeat | yeah, I am totaly online, everything seems to work but firefox | 01:40 |
| Gabyto | Hello like estan all? | 01:40 |
| caleb_ | When I change the background color on my panel, there is no box surrounding those programs that are not currently up on the screen or not hovered. Any fixes | 01:40 |
| Bodsda | frenzy, you can use the already made partitions for the new install -- just untick the format box when manually partitioning during install | 01:40 |
| X-plo | Wannabe, anything was repaired :S | 01:41 |
| frenzy | ok | 01:41 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: no, I dont think you can restart x, but you can run swapon -a | 01:41 |
| frogmeat | well, foxmarks is not online either | 01:41 |
| FAJALOU | ahh ok | 01:41 |
| dave11 | Bodsda: universe repo? | 01:41 |
| Wannabe | X-plo, didn't wokr? | 01:41 |
| mgl445 | alright i'm trying to compile a driver and i'm getting an error when running a ./configure script that c compiler cannot create executables. Any help would be appreciated | 01:41 |
| Wannabe | X-plo, didn't work* | 01:41 |
| Bodsda | dave11, yes | 01:41 |
| FAJALOU | aha, swapon -a turned back no bad errors this time. | 01:41 |
| FAJALOU | so it's working good | 01:41 |
| dave11 | Bodsda: whats that? | 01:41 |
| orudie | i just intalled vlc, how can i find out where it was installed to | 01:41 |
| Starnestommy | mgl445: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 01:41 |
| X-plo | Wannabe, nou should I reinstall pyton again? | 01:41 |
| Starnestommy | orudie: type "which vlc" in a terminal | 01:41 |
| Bodsda | dave11, that would be the universe repository | 01:41 |
| orudie | i need to to set it so that it would use vlc to open specific files | 01:41 |
| frenzy | it's telling me no root file system is defined | 01:41 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: should be | 01:41 |
| FAJALOU | ok cool | 01:41 |
| dave11 | Bodsda: is it a third party repo? | 01:42 |
| Wannabe | X-plo, how'd install it the first time? | 01:42 |
| FAJALOU | danbhfive: thx for the help | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: np | 01:42 |
| [T]an2 | i am looking for a solution for printing mailing labels from either mysql or a csv file. is there anything out there like this? i have about 500 names to create lables for. | 01:42 |
| UberCanuck | orudie, dpkg -L vlc | 01:42 |
| randomoutburst | how would i mount it Bodsda? | 01:42 |
| Bodsda | dave11, no, second tick box on the firsttab | 01:42 |
| Starnestommy | frenzy: did you create a partition that used / as a mount point? | 01:42 |
| Bodsda | randomoutburst, what is the path /dev/sda2? | 01:42 |
| randomoutburst | the only path is /dev/sada1 | 01:42 |
| X-plo | Wannabe, I didn't remember maybe when i was installing some packages | 01:42 |
| dave11 | Bodsda: yeah, i have that and all i can find is esperanza | 01:42 |
| frenzy | no | 01:42 |
| UberCanuck | [T]an2, doesn't openoffice have a simplistic db connector, including odbc - so you can do csv files | 01:42 |
| r00tintheb0x | lol @ http://ubuntuforums.org/ | 01:43 |
| Bodsda | dave11, 8.04? | 01:43 |
| dave11 | Bodsda: yes | 01:43 |
| Wannabe | X-plo, Hmm | 01:43 |
| Y-Town | UberCanuck: thanks.....seems to me moving along now....guess it needed the padles to start it :o) | 01:43 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: it's working, you left a part out in that pastebin though but it's a part you mentioned earlier which was to make the .bin file executable so it's working now | 01:43 |
| frenzy | it's mounted at /dev/sda1 | 01:43 |
| [T]an2 | UberCanuck: dunno. never thought of that | 01:43 |
| MTeck | can I not install /boot to a drive that's on software RAID? | 01:43 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: is this game an MMO? | 01:43 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: ahh, ok, my name in the game is auror, i'm going to beam up now | 01:43 |
| Bodsda | randomoutburst, do sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive && cd /mnt/drive | 01:43 |
| [T]an2 | UberCanuck: can i just point it at a csv file instead of messing with the odbc connector? | 01:43 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: ya, it is | 01:44 |
| amirman84 | caleb_: cool, i'll find you in there, thanks for the help | 01:44 |
| Wannabe | X-plo,s sorry, i got to go | 01:44 |
| Bodsda | dave11, ive double checked on mine, its definately there,.,.make sure you reloadsynaptic after enabling repo's -- make sure u scrolled to the x's | 01:44 |
| mgl445 | Starnestommy: that worked :) thanks. | 01:44 |
| frenzy | nvm i got it to mount | 01:44 |
| FAJALOU | ok now i have an intellimouse 3.0A, i have followed the directions found here: http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse but i always have to go into terminal and type sudo chmod 777 /etc/X11/Xsession.d/63xmodmap and then restart x to get it to work, | 01:44 |
| FAJALOU | does anyone have any better ideas | 01:44 |
| frenzy | i'm still getting an error | 01:45 |
| caleb_ | amirman84: looks like my problems with my graphics card are effecting the game, low fps, i'm not sure i'll be able to play | 01:45 |
| UberCanuck | [T]an2, don't know, never used it. but i believe it does mail merge as well - so its your best bed | 01:45 |
| UberCanuck | [T]an2, bet | 01:45 |
| frenzy | No root file system is defined. | 01:45 |
| frenzy | Please correct this from the partitioning menu. | 01:45 |
| MTeck | Is it possible to install /boot onto a software RAID device or will that break things for me? | 01:45 |
| Bodsda | frenzy, make sure there is a partition with mount point '/' | 01:45 |
| KiZ | hi folks, I recently upgraded to 8.04 and now compiz refuses to enable. 512MB Ram and an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 . Compiz worked fine before, do I have any options? | 01:45 |

| mojo | Does ubuntu (hardy) have an iptables-save and iptables-restore in it's startup/shutdown by defalut? if so, where? ALSO: Where does ubuntu modify the firewall when i, for instance, install Samba. Rather than my own script maybe i should be editing the system's own rules script??????? advice welcome | 01:45 |
| danbhfive | FAJALOU: maybe put it in your /home/user directory | 01:45 |
| randomoutburst | im working in SystemRescueCD Bodsda, and that doesnt do anything it says "cant find /dev/sda1/mnt/drive in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" | 01:46 |
| FAJALOU | put what into your home directory? | 01:46 |

| dave11 | Bodsda: im going to give audacious a try,thanks | 01:51 |

| ricanelite | has it been stable for you? | 02:06 |
| ricanelite | also are they still working on it? | 02:06 |
| ricanelite | because i love it but it has not been stable for me at all | 02:07 |
| orudie | for some reason the sound doesnt work when using digital output | 02:07 |
| c0rr | mit. awesome. | 02:07 |
| ricanelite | rich1, is there any similar to miro out there for Linux? | 02:07 |

| IndyGunFreak | wine does not have a gui. | 02:08 |
| rich1 | isn't miro democracy tv or democracy tv became miro? one way or the other. check synaptic. | 02:08 |
| orudie | does anyone know why digital output does not have any sound ? | 02:08 |
| rich1 | ricanelite: isn't miro democracy tv or democracy tv became miro? one way or the other. check synaptic. | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | orudie: probably because its not set up right. | 02:08 |
| ricanelite | dont know | 02:09 |
| ricanelite | rich1, going to check synaptic now | 02:09 |
| niriven | IndyGunFreak, No, the game runs. The bottom of the screen (when fullscreen at 640x480) is cut off an inch. Others have this problem too but i see no solution | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | niriven: who knows, but your issue isn't with wine per se | 02:09 |
| orudie | IndyGunFreak, how can i check if its set up right ? | 02:10 |
| DaySleeper555 | nirivien type winecfg in terminal try using "Emulated desktop" option | 02:10 |
| niriven | IndyGunFreak, Yes, it is. I run in 640x480 mode without wine with no problems. | 02:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | orudie: well, first you need to know what device you have. | 02:10 |
| orudie | IndyGunFreak, i go to system pref sounds and choose the playback device as digital, the test and i hear no sound | 02:10 |
| belor1 | I have a IPOD and i was wondering what program i could use to get music on it its a Gen 2 and im running 8.04 | 02:10 |

| Y-Town | belor1: gtkpod | 02:11 |
| nickellery | belor1: you can use gtkpod | 02:11 |
| belor1 | Y-Town: thanks for your quick respinse | 02:11 |
| orudie | IndyGunFreak, it detected my integrated into motherboard sound card as ALC883, and detected that it has both analog and digital ouputs, so when i test it as analog, sound works, when i test it as digital, there is no sound | 02:11 |

| IndyGunFreak | remi: can't you just mouse over the sound applet and use the scroll wheel?.. thats what i do. | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | remi: if you want to do some fancy things with the mouse the program http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ can be handy. Its not too hard to install. You could bind the buttons to be the system vol up/down, or to commands to up/lower the volume i guess. | 02:14 |

| Dr_Willis | remi: i agree with IndyGunFreak - Thats what i normally do also | 02:15 |
| DaySleeper555 | ZMorgan you probably need propietary codecs to play it | 02:15 |
| fiyawerx | ah, got it, you have to drag the jar onto the theme manager window | 02:16 |
| bbyever | how can i sync my evolution calendar with my google calendar (or any other google calendar)? | 02:16 |

| Styles__ | Hey, my mouse isn't working in Ubuntu, I'm dual booting, I know my mouse and keyboard should both work because I've used them with the default install on another computer. I am attempting to installit again (dual booting too) on this computer. Now, I get in and the second after I Login aand the Ubunutu Gui loads, my mouse "craps out". Then my keyboard will too after a little bit. Any ideas? | 02:22 |
| Baatti | Ubuntu has a live CD right? | 02:22 |
| Supgee | When I boot in Ubuntu, the Ubuntu logo comes up and the orange loading bar goes back and forth for awhile, and then it goes to "BusyBox V1.1.3" and it's just a black screen with white text. How do I actually load the Ubuntu GUI? | 02:22 |
| genii | Tr0gd0r: With server kernel, yes | 02:22 |
| ZMorgan | Has anyone installed the DVD codecs on the 64 version of gutsy before? If you have please share, thanks. | 02:22 |

| Fritzel | has anyone had the problem "No permission to run" with any Steam game and found a solution for it? | 02:22 |
| Baatti | ok, great | 02:23 |
| Supgee | Anyone know why when I boot in Ubuntu, I see the Ubuntu logo appear and it loads for awhile and then changes to a black screen with a bunch of white text? How do I load the Ubuntu GUI? | 02:23 |
| Baatti | it's almost 700MB, that'll barely fit on my CD.. | 02:23 |
| |DAMAGE| | [21:21] <rek> i use ubuntu now, am i 31337? | 02:23 |
| Baatti | now, what are the major differences between Ubuntu and Fedora Core? | 02:23 |
| llamakc | Supgee: does it say Login: | 02:23 |
| DaySleeper555 | Baati it will fit | 02:23 |
| claudy | hmmmrrrrr | 02:23 |
| Wyzard | Baatti: It'll fit on an 80-minute CD but not a 74-minute one | 02:23 |
| Baatti | yeah, it's an 80 min | 02:24 |
| orudie | ^u^> so is awn the best one out there? | 02:24 |
| Halbyrd | quick question: is there a FAQ for setting up wired and wireless networking? i'm having trouble getting net connectivity on my laptop | 02:24 |
| Supgee | llamakc: All it says is "enter command, type /help for a list of available commands" | 02:24 |
| llamakc | that sounds like Grub, and not the system. | 02:24 |
| Wyzard | Baatti: CD images too big for an 80-minute disc are rare (because CD-R media longer than 80 minutes is rare) | 02:24 |
| langleyo | Anyone know how to recover my wastebasket in hardy heron please? i accidentally deleted it? Can't find any FAQs related to it | 02:24 |

| llamakc | so you're booting into recovery mode? | 02:25 |
| Y-Town | langleyo: just ad the app back to the panel again | 02:25 |
| Baatti | now, if I run Ubuntu as a live CD everytime, and don't actually install it on my HD, I'll lose any saved data that I created while using Ubuntu OS, right? | 02:25 |
| langleyo | Y-town....thanks | 02:25 |
| Supgee | No, when I start my computer it goes, "Please select your operating system: Windows XP, or Ubuntu". I select Ubuntu, and then I see the loading bar and then it goes to a black screen with white text that says "BusyBox v1.1.3" enter your command, type /help for a list of available commands. | 02:26 |

| Dr_Willis | Baatti: im testing out Puppy Linux 4.0 right now. :) it dose that task very very well. | 02:27 |
| Kohlrak | wow, linux needs a decent n64 emulator, i can only find 1 and it runs at 10 frames per second o.O | 02:27 |
| Baatti | Dr_Willis: can you point me to an Ubuntu with persistant user Ops? | 02:27 |
| PMantis | If I have a desktop install, and I want to convert to server, what package should I remove/install ? | 02:27 |
| Supgee | Llamakc this is the result after the initial install. I've never been able to successfully run Ubuntu. | 02:27 |
| Baatti | Dr_Willis: hrm, puppy linux you say? | 02:28 |
| llamakc | Supgee: what hardware are you running it on? | 02:28 |

| DaySleeper555 | Dr_Willis, 4.0 is about 80MB I think | 02:28 |
| Kohlrak | no, mupen sucks | 02:28 |
| Baatti | Dr_Willis: hrm.. got a link for me or you gonna make -me- google it? | 02:28 |
| Kohlrak | eh, i like project 64 | 02:29 |
| Kohlrak | at least i can play a game on it | 02:29 |
| Supgee | llamakc: 500GB HDD, 2GB DDR2 Ram, Dual Core AMD 6400 2.0 GHZ processors, and an nvidia 7300 gfx card. | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | DaySleeper555: yep - you may be right. I think DSL is the '50mb' or less distro. :) | 02:29 |
| Kohlrak | even if most games look glitcy | 02:29 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: i play games on mupen64 just fine. i guess it's a matter of preference :) | 02:29 |
| PrivateVoid | SOLVED!!! | 02:29 |
| DaySleeper555 | Dr_Willis i'm getting 4.0 as soon as i can | 02:29 |
| llamakc | Supgee: you install 8.04 (32-bit?) | 02:29 |
| Kohlrak | 10 frames per second | 02:29 |
| Kohlrak | what's your configuration, CyD? | 02:29 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: 29.97 | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | DaySleeper555: its handy for a emergancy disk if nothingelse. | 02:29 |
| DaySleeper555 | Dr_Willis I have more versions, all work like magic | 02:29 |
| poni | Hey guys :) I noticed something weird and I just can't find what's up with it - only one program is allowed to output sound.. i.e, I cant have a game open and play music, or have a movie and music player play at the same time, only the one which played first is allowed to keep on... Any ideas on this? | 02:29 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: like hardware-wise? | 02:29 |
| llamakc | brbeer | 02:29 |
| PrivateVoid | If I turn Sync to VBlank on it restores from suspend properly. | 02:29 |

| Supgee | llamakc: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011 | 02:30 |
| Styles__ | Anyone here know about Mice not working ? | 02:30 |
| Baatti | Supgee: that's what I'm downloading right now | 02:30 |
| DaySleeper555 | Dr_Willis and it has ntfs3g, so you can read-write to NTFS | 02:30 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: not much for software settings.. pretty default. play it on a athlon x2 + 7600gt and a athlon xp + 5700LE | 02:30 |
| kitche | poni: umm sounds like it's the sound system you are using since alsa allows more then one channel to play | 02:30 |
| Supgee | Aye, Baatti I can't get it to work. :( | 02:30 |
| Baatti | hrm | 02:30 |
| Baatti | maybe I oughta abort then | 02:30 |

| Kohlrak | i have an athlon x2 (mobile) and default settings crashed gnome XD | 02:31 |
| Y-Town | Styles__: usb bluetooth, ps? | 02:31 |
| llamakc | Styles__: yeah when mine doesn't work i change the battery in it. otherwise more info: are they USB devices? are you plugged onto the mobo's usb, or an external usb device? or the front of the computer? what's the deal? | 02:31 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: nasty.. what graphics? | 02:31 |
| poni | DaySleeper555: Any programs... i.e I can play music in VLC just fine but if I then start WoW, WoW wont make any sound. If I start WoW and THEN start VLC, VLC wont let out sound, only WoW | 02:31 |
| DaySleeper555 | poni u might set it to use alsa instead oss if it's audio player | 02:31 |
| Kohlrak | ATI Xpress 1150 | 02:31 |
| phuzion | Whats that application that lets me install the ubuntu studio applications into an existing ubuntu installation? | 02:31 |

I select Ubuntu, and then I see the loading bar and then it goes to a black screen with white text that says "BusyBox v1.1.3" enter your command, type /help for a list of available commands. How do I actually get to the Ubuntu GUI? | 02:32 |

| glacialfury | I messed up the default actions on mouseclicks while playing with hotkeys for compiz - where's the best place to learn how to restore them? | 02:34 |
| llamakc | Supgee: when the computer starts up, just after the BIOS POST screen hit the escape key. You'll get the GRUB menu. Arrow down to recovery mode | 02:34 |

| DaySleeper555 | poni probably VLC is configured to output through one output driver (OSS?) and other applications use ALSA, check in VLC settings | 02:34 |
| nmukh | How do I access ALSA through command prompt? | 02:34 |
| Styles__ | Y-Town, any ideas? | 02:34 |

| Kohlrak | oh really? | 02:35 |
| nmukh | give me one | 02:35 |
| Kohlrak | well tell me if you can run it fine | 02:35 |
| nmukh | llamakc: I need to reduce subwoofer volume | 02:35 |
| llamakc | Supgee: good luck. | 02:35 |
| poni | DaySleeper555: However, WINE is configured to use OSS - because ALSA isnt in the list in Winecfg | 02:35 |
| Kohlrak | we might run a different version of mupen too | 02:35 |
| Kohlrak | keep me updated =) | 02:35 |
| llamakc | from the cli run alsamixer | 02:35 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: i will, you hang around here much? | 02:35 |

| nmukh | llamkc: That doesn't really help do you know anyway to reduce the volume on the subwoofer? | 02:36 |
| Kohlrak | I"m almost always known as Kohlrak or 緑さん | 02:36 |
| glacialfury | dryrot, click on the blue word "Audio" | 02:37 |
| Kohlrak | so thank you | 02:37 |
| glacialfury | it will let you choose your audio source from a drop down list | 02:37 |
| Kohlrak | i don't use 緑さん here though | 02:37 |

| Kohlrak | yes, they're down | 02:38 |
| poni | DaySleeper555: Both used to use OSS but only one was allowed to output sound. | 02:38 |
| Kohlrak | i think it's routine maitenance | 02:38 |
| vanberge | i got a pIII compaq desktop from work (1.0 Ghz) and i tried to beef it up wiht ram. with 768 megs, it wont boot. with 512, starts right up | 02:38 |
| kindofabuzz | nmukh: most subwoofers have there own bass control | 02:38 |
| Styles__ | http://ubuntuforums.org/ down? | 02:38 |
| llamakc | nmukh: can't you just reach down and turn the subwoofer down? you want to limit a specific range of sound? | 02:38 |
| Kohlrak | Styles: yes | 02:39 |
| miyarstim | vanberge, how many slots has it got | 02:39 |
| glacialfury | I accidentally set the cube rotation hotkey to the right mouse button - now I don't get a context menu when I right-click on files. How can I restore this? | 02:39 |
| kindofabuzz | Styles__: yup | 02:39 |
| llamakc | Styles__: yep I think so | 02:39 |
| nmukh | kindofabuzz: I wanted to control it through the OS not manually adjusting the volume | 02:39 |
| Styles__ | Kohlrak Dam! | 02:39 |
| Kohlrak | XD | 02:39 |
| vanberge | miyarstim, it has 3 slots. i tried 256 in each | 02:39 |
| Styles__ | DaySleeper555 You here? | 02:39 |
| DaySleeper555 | Styles yes | 02:39 |
| LeeKnux | vanberge, hard memory limit? You mean the HIGHMEM in kernel? | 02:39 |
| Styles__ | DaySleeper555 weren't you helping me with my problem of the stupid mouse not working? | 02:39 |
| kindofabuzz | nmukh: i don't think it's possible unless you have a soundcard with multible outputs, like the sw has it's own plug | 02:39 |
| chrissy | Any one ever have an issue wen trying to dual boot, ubu. installed first but the windows install disk cant seam to detect any partitions, be it that its a ubu partition or a blank nfst? | 02:39 |
| DaySleeper555 | Styles no | 02:40 |
| vanberge | LeeKnux, no, i mean my bios post says "too much memory configured for this sytem... see your manual about removing some memory" | 02:40 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: ocarina of time. my fav. | 02:40 |
| Styles__ | DaySleeper555 Do you know how anything about it ? | 02:40 |
| Kohlrak | cool, i have that one | 02:40 |
| llamakc | chrissy: it's easier to install windows FIRST then Ubuntu | 02:40 |
| miyarstim | vanberge, dunno then, google for specific motherboard model and memory problem | 02:40 |
| chrissy | cyd, its my favorite zelda game too | 02:40 |
| Kohlrak | i'll see if the performance is any better on that for me | 02:40 |

| CyD | first time was in like '99 :) | 02:40 |
| DaySleeper555 | Styles nevermind | 02:40 |
| LeeKnux | vanberge, oh - in your BIOS... | 02:40 |
| DaySleeper555 | Styles glad you remembered | 02:41 |
| Kohlrak | 99? | 02:41 |
| DaySleeper555 | :D | 02:41 |
| Kohlrak | wow | 02:41 |
| LeeKnux | vanberge, guess your board and bios don't support however much memory you've plugged in | 02:41 |
| boyam | vanberge, your computer max's out at 512 more than likely | 02:41 |
| Shadow420 | vanberge then your motherboard can't handle no more than 512MB | 02:41 |
| Kohlrak | that would mean if it doesn't work there's something horribly wrong with my drivers XD | 02:41 |
| CyD | been doin this too long | 02:41 |
| chrissy | urgh this is so frustrating. | 02:41 |

| ubottu | langleyo: 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 | 02:42 |
| Shadow420 | vanberge I have a P3 1.0Ghz Dell and it's maxed at 512MB | 02:42 |
| CyD | chrissy: does it have to do with needing sata drivers for windows install you think? | 02:42 |
| langleyo | Daysleeper...normally yes, but wont seem to do anything when i look at DVD discs | 02:42 |
| CyD | sorry i'm probly not up to speed on your issue | 02:42 |

| djhash | hey.. can someone help with with boot stuff? | 02:45 |

| reya276 | How can I get my HP p1006 printer working again? | 02:45 |
| alteregoa | i got troubles with weirdy headdog | 02:45 |
| xenocampanoli | I downloaded the latest Harder Server Install ISO today, and it won't load. Other install disks, including an old gutsy one I had, will boot on this system, but I tried two copies, and checked the checksum between them, and it looks like the cd image that is out there won't boot. | 02:45 |
| djhash | Vadi: try cron, or running it as a daemon | 02:45 |
| reya276 | It was already working and for some reason it stopped working | 02:45 |
| DaySleeper555 | luser u need root acces for /bin it was always that way | 02:45 |
| chrissy | djhash id love to but im having some issues my self | 02:45 |
| orudie | i'm missing some package, i'm trying to compile something with 'make' which package is it ? | 02:45 |
| vanberge | xenocampanoli, did you try downloading from different mirrors? | 02:46 |
| Shadow420 | vanberge I have no desktop effects at all and sit runs fine | 02:46 |
| Vadi | djhash: could you explain that a bit further? I need to run the command "sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda1" | 02:46 |
| Kohlrak | yulp | 02:46 |
| langleyo | Daysleeper: looking into a link i have been given...thanks | 02:46 |
| xenocampanoli | 2519027161 550230016 ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso is my checksum. | 02:46 |
| llamakc | orudie: build-essential | 02:46 |
| Shadow420 | vanberge *it's | 02:46 |
| djhash | chrissy: what is your issue? | 02:46 |
| alteregoa | , /bin/ladin | 02:46 |
| Kohlrak | CyD, do me a favor and try other video plugins while you're at it too XD | 02:46 |
| xenocampanoli | Yes, I downloaded from Portland state, and OSU, and they both ahve the same checksum I just gave. | 02:46 |
| bullgard4 | What command prints an ample descriptive text for the 'ltrace' command? "~$ apt-cache search ltrace" prints only a short one. | 02:46 |
| alteregoa | tron | 02:46 |
| llamakc | bullgard4: you can look at the docs in /usr/share/doc/PACKAGENAME | 02:47 |
| vanberge | Shadow420, i think im good with 512... right now my server system is using 380 megs. | 02:47 |
| xenocampanoli | rvanberge: Yes, I downloaded from Portland state, and OSU, and they both ahve the same checksum I just gave. | 02:47 |
| llamakc | bullgard4: but either `info nameofpackage` or `man nameofpackage` may help | 02:47 |
| xenocampanoli | rvanberge: 2519027161 550230016 ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso is my checksum. | 02:47 |
| boyam | vanberg, what will you be running on this server..curious | 02:47 |
| llamakc | and if it's not installed: `apt-cache show nameofpackage` | 02:47 |
| chrissy | as of now im trying ot make the windows installer see the perfectly fine blank ntfs partition made for it. | 02:47 |
| ianliu_88 | How do I mount an ISO file? | 02:47 |
| Shadow420 | vanberge yeah | 02:48 |
| ianliu_88 | !mount | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 02:48 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: 2519027161 550230016 ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso is my checksum. | 02:48 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: Yes, I downloaded from Portland state, and OSU, and they both ahve the same checksum I just gave. | 02:48 |
| ^u^ | !iso | 02:48 |
| chrissy | but its being a tad bit of a bitch | 02:48 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 02:48 |
| vanberge | xenocampanoli, does it even boot at all? do you get error message? | 02:48 |
| ianliu_88 | thanks | 02:48 |
| Kohlrak | Anyone know of a GPU benchmarker for ubuntu? XD | 02:48 |
| djhash | chrissy: How big is the partition? | 02:48 |
| alteregoa | 1 pb | 02:48 |
| chrissy | roughly 200 Gigs | 02:49 |
| bullgard4 | llamakc: Thank you very much for your help. | 02:49 |
| luser_ | Herm i have a linux executable that won't run from desktop where do I need to place it? | 02:49 |
| chrissy | give or take a few megs | 02:49 |
| xenocampanoli | No, it doesn't recognize it as a mountable disk. | 02:49 |
| djhash | for GPU test.. try globs | 02:49 |
| llamakc | bullgard4: NP good luck | 02:49 |
| * DaySleeper555 has left | 02:49 | |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: No, it doesn't recognize it as a mountable disk. | 02:49 |
| alteregoa | to bin | 02:49 |
| llamakc | luser_: it will run from your desktop | 02:49 |
| pappasmurf | I am getting unknown play back error with rhythmbox playin either internet radio or MP3 | 02:49 |
| luser_ | usr or root bin? | 02:50 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: It recognizes all the others I've got though, without trouble. | 02:50 |
| alteregoa | maybe chmod 755 it | 02:50 |
| vanberge | xenocampanoli, maybe try downloading the text only install ? | 02:50 |
| === kazol is now known as LinuxUser_ | ||
| llamakc | luser_: make it executable with `sudo chmod +x nameoffile` | 02:50 |
| djhash | chrissy: is it an extra partition on an HDD.. or is it a full seperate HDD? | 02:50 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: Ok. | 02:50 |
| === LinuxUser_ is now known as _LinuxUser | ||
| vanberge | xenocampanoli, im not sure beyond that... i actually downloaded and installed serve edition yesterday | 02:50 |
| IdleOne | !nickspam | _LinuxUser | 02:50 |
| ubottu | _LinuxUser: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also /msg ubotu Guidelines | 02:50 |
| schitzo | Hello | 02:50 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: Is there a place where I'm able to get a signature or checksum to check against? | 02:50 |
| chrissy | Its a Extra partition. | 02:51 |
| alteregoa | its on /home/usr/ganja | 02:51 |
| vanberge | xenocampanoli, i'm not sure.. :-( i dont download new isos very often i ususally do dist upgrade | 02:51 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: Presumably you don't have the iso around to do cksum on...? | 02:51 |
| djhash | chrissy: How many partitions do you have on the drive and what types? | 02:51 |
| schitzo | private | 02:51 |
| vanberge | xenocampanoli, that is correct, i deleted it after i burned it | 02:51 |
| xenocampanoli | Yes, but I've got CentOS on there, and I want to get it over to Ubuntu, so... | 02:51 |
| xenocampanoli | Ok. Thank you for the feedback. | 02:52 |
| chrissy | 3 ext3 1 for the ubuntu installation, 1 for what i think is the bootloader,, and 1 blank one for win xp | 02:52 |
| CyD | any ideas where i could start looking to find out what happened if a bunch of files in /bin are reporting insane file sizes? | 02:52 |
| CyD | i'll probly throw in the towel soon and reinstall the box | 02:52 |
| CyD | so curious though | 02:52 |
| IdleOne | CyD: which files? | 02:53 |
| CyD | mount, umount, dd, date, dnsdomainname to name a few | 02:53 |
| chrissy | I probaly should have installed Xp first, then booted into ubuntu and did it that way | 02:53 |
| CyD | df looks to be exabytes big :o | 02:54 |
| Kohlrak | chrissy, that's the best way to go XD | 02:54 |
| ushimitsudoki | (xorg.conf) If I do not have any FontPath info set, where is X getting the FontPaths from? I am trying to stop it from trying to load the cyrillic fonts. | 02:54 |
| CyD | fsck says everything is fine :/ | 02:54 |
| IdleOne | CyD: what size is mount? | 02:54 |
| chrissy | urgh, this is so annoying lol | 02:54 |
| djhash | chrissy: I agree with kohlrak.. | 02:54 |
| CyD | mm mount is ok, 97224 | 02:54 |
| chrissy | wait fuck, i cant do that either... since the xp install disk isn't detecting any hard drives | 02:55 |
| IdleOne | !ohmy | chrismurf | 02:55 |
| ubottu | chrismurf: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:55 |
| IdleOne | !ohmy | chrissy | 02:55 |
| ubottu | chrissy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:55 |
| Kohlrak | best to install windows first so youi don't have to worry about the grub crap | 02:55 |
| chrissy | Sry sry | 02:55 |
| javaJake | Anyone be so kind as to tell me what package libswfdecmozilla.so belongs to? I'm not running Ubuntu atm... | 02:55 |
| javaJake | Thanks. :) | 02:55 |
| Kohlrak | chrissy, it won't detect ext3, so it might not work if the first partition is ext3 | 02:55 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: yea but it should say 'unknown filesystem' | 02:56 |
| djhash | chrissy: :-) dont you love bots.. anyways.. if windows install CD is not detecting the drives at all.. then you might have a bios problem here.. | 02:56 |
| CyD | chrissy: maybe there's a compatability mode in teh bios? | 02:56 |
| Kohlrak | libswfdecmozilla, sounds like a flash plugin for mozilla | 02:56 |
| CyD | for ide? | 02:56 |
| chrissy | possibly so what do you recomend a full format of the drive? | 02:56 |
| Kohlrak | pretty much, chrissy, yes | 02:57 |
| orudie | error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory | 02:57 |
| orudie | which package is it looking for ? | 02:57 |
| alteregoa | do | 02:57 |
| CyD | IdleOne: thanks for asking, i have a day before i have to give the system back, maybe i'll wait a bit longer before a reinstall | 02:57 |

| Kohlrak | That appears to be it, Hady | 03:07 |
| HaDy | it says network so must be it :) | 03:07 |
| vbabiy-laptop | so I think I am going to stick with the 32bit for now | 03:07 |
| Kohlrak | it could be ethernet if just network, it's wlan that you should take note of | 03:07 |
| Kohlrak | Who makes your computer, HaDy? | 03:07 |
| HaDy | Hp | 03:07 |
| Burnfreak | anyone know an easy way to read the disk files that Hardy creates when you install inside of windows? | 03:07 |

| Kohlrak | Yggdrasil, if they don't have linux ones, you may have to use wine to get the drivers | 03:09 |
| YggdrasilOS | i guess my main question is: can ndiswrapper digest vista drivers, or should i use the xp drivers? | 03:09 |
| WrathWolf | Must load Multiboot kernel before modules | 03:09 |
| WrathWolf | Not sure what exactly its trying to tell me though. | 03:09 |
| ltcabral | no kdevelop users here? | 03:10 |

| IdleOne | Smaug: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-219819.html have you looked at this thread? | 03:23 |
| ChuanQi | anyway to update the driver for the usb adaptor? | 03:23 |
| randomoutburst | djhash its still saying /mnt/drive isnt a directory | 03:23 |
| Kohlrak | but why is that in english? | 03:23 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, lol you get me wrong :P i mean how long stay supported hardware supported at ubuntu/linux until they drop support for it on the next distribution/kernel ? is there a delay? | 03:24 |
| greyspace2004 | oddie: The reason for "/home" is ... when you update the Ubuntu it will keep the programs and configuration if you do it the way I said | 03:24 |
| Weedy | how do i kill X on the livecd? | 03:24 |
| frogscott | I minimized the Xchat Tool bar of view options and all that and cant get it back...how do I do that? | 03:24 |
| randomoutburst | the program im using said the files were saved in /mnt/drive/recup_dir though? | 03:24 |
| thor | ive recently installed "thewidgetfactory" but i cant seem to run it evern from a terminal....ideas? | 03:24 |
| WrathWolf | IdleOne: Found a few more forums on the topic, I will see what I can find there first. Thanks though. | 03:24 |
| IdleOne | WrathWolf: yup np sorry i wasn't more helpful | 03:24 |
| ChuanQi | the adaptor is called WUSB 11 ver2 | 03:24 |
| ChuanQi | it's from linksys | 03:24 |
| arnath | hi, is there a media player for video's that has sort of the same functionality as amarok has for audio? | 03:24 |
| oddie | greyspace2004: ok | 03:24 |
| Kohlrak | spanther, i havn't a clue. Probably never... They can't really update the drivers (as they're seemingly never free drivers) so they'll just have one version out and they just won't remove it from the database. | 03:25 |
| palomer | hello | 03:25 |
| palomer | my sound died | 03:25 |
| randomoutburst | and i can cd to /mnt/drive djhash? what is going on..... | 03:25 |

| spanther | Kohlrak, so "now supported" will be supported forever? (next 20 years) ? | 03:25 |
| orudie | how to extract .bz2 ? | 03:26 |
| djhash | randomoutburst: can you see the files inside drive? | 03:26 |
| Kohlrak | i'm expecting so XD | 03:26 |
| greyspace2004 | I just finished my clean install a | 03:26 |
| Kohlrak | unless the database gets cleared out | 03:26 |
| djhash | try cd to it and type ls -al recup_folder | 03:26 |
| greyspace2004 | Hi I just installed a fresh U_804 and I assume the tools to precompile and make are either missing or not configured, however I am new to Linux so I am just guessing. the command "sqlite-3.5.8# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local". resulted with this error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" | 03:26 |
| IdleOne | spanther: is anything supported for 20 years in any field anywhere in the world? | 03:26 |
| palomer | alsa-init: playback open error: Device or resource busy <--how do I fix this? | 03:26 |
| djhash | try cd to it and type ls -al recup_dir* | 03:26 |

| Apoman | hola | 03:27 |
| Brent^ | I messed up my Pidgin installation on my other computer somehow. (it opens then freezes up and the only way to quit is to kill the process) what would I have to do to give it a fresh install (like it first ran when I installed Ubuntu HH)? | 03:27 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, its just well i am curious about how they know what support is needed because there are so much computers out with different pieces of hardware and i wont loose sound output on the next distro :) | 03:27 |
| WrathWolf | IdleOne: Its saying for some reason that its still looking for my Winblows bootloader and thats why I am getting the error 22. I think I will just reorder my HDD's and make my EXT3 drive the first boot... that should clear it up. If not.. I'll be back. ;) | 03:27 |
| cky | Brent^: rm -Rf ~/.gaim ~/.purple | 03:27 |
| Kohlrak | spanther, what about statistics? =p | 03:27 |
| Apoman | hola | 03:27 |
| Kohlrak | i'm sure they keep track of what's downloaded =p | 03:27 |
| IdleOne | WrathWolf: sounds like you know more then I do about it | 03:27 |
| stoneDJay | Hello folks... My Ubuntu uses 100% of CPU sometimes, in a common tasks like apt-get... OK my proc is not so good as a core 2 duo... its a Celeron M (toshiba laptop)... My dount is about my new laptop core 2 duo... Will be the samething? | 03:28 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, thats it! how do they get them and how to upload own hardware that they have it inside their statistics to know what has to be supported? :) | 03:28 |
| Brent^ | cky: its pidgin so would it be ~/.pidgin instead of ~/.gaim? | 03:28 |
| cky | Brent^: Of course you may prefer to simply _rename_ those directories rather than remove them.... | 03:28 |
| Apoman | mine uses 100% all the time | 03:28 |
| cky | Brent^: It's called ~/.purple. | 03:28 |
| greyspace2004 | the command "sqlite-3.5.8# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local". resulted with this error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" | 03:28 |
| cky | Brent^: That's because Pidgin is really a graphical user interface for libpurple. | 03:28 |
| Apoman | español? | 03:28 |
| stoneDJay | Apoman: damn... hehehe | 03:28 |
| Kohlrak | logging, server logging. The download servers get the information from the kernel which gets the information from the hardware =p | 03:28 |
| stoneDJay | Apoman: me? | 03:28 |
| WrathWolf | IdleOne: I doubt that. I am just guessing. I am not familiar with linux at all. Trying to learn. But I have 15 years experience as a system administrator within windows. But thanks for your help. I am gonna go give it a try. | 03:29 |
| Apoman | no, just lookin for some support in spanish | 03:29 |
| Kohlrak | all hardware has to follow a few standards at least, like all graphics cards must allow vesa for example | 03:29 |
| greyspace2004 | How come I can create Executables using a configure command? | 03:29 |
| arnath | is there a media player for video's that has sort of the same functionality as amarok has for audio? | 03:29 |
| Brent^ | cky: thank you :) trying it now | 03:29 |
| stoneDJay | Apoman: ok. | 03:29 |
| Weedy | can i kill Xorg on the livecd? | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | greyspace2004: do you have build-essential installed? | 03:29 |
| cky | Brent^: Good luck! | 03:29 |
| cky | Weedy: Does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace not work? | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | greyspace2004: maybe I am off track | 03:30 |
| greyspace2004 | Thank you I'll try that just encase... brb | 03:30 |
| Weedy | i mean from spawning | 03:30 |
| Weedy | i need to turn it off | 03:30 |
| Weedy | i dont need a GUI | 03:30 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, and do you know the list what updates ever again where i can look what hardware pieces are supported by ubuntu on the fly ? | 03:30 |
| sparky01 | Anyone running nexuiz server on 8.04? I can't get it to run | 03:30 |
| Kohlrak | should be some boot options for that weedy | 03:30 |
| cky | Weedy: Mmm, in the boot menu, I think there is one of those F4 options that lets you do that. | 03:30 |
| Apoman | mi tarjeta wireless no se conecta, | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | !es | Apoman | 03:31 |
| ubottu | Apoman: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 03:31 |
| cky | Weedy: If it's not F4, it's probably F6. It's been a while since I tried the installer so I don't claim to remember right. | 03:31 |
| Apoman | ok, gracias | 03:31 |
| Kohlrak | i don't know where the lists are, but i would imagin on the update servers =p | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | Apoman: de nada | 03:31 |
| stoneDJay | IdleOne: Where are you from | 03:31 |
| stoneDJay | ? | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | !hardware | spanther | 03:31 |
| ubottu | spanther: 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 | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | stoneDJay: canada why? | 03:32 |
| Kohlrak | or that works too XD | 03:32 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, i just ask because i want to have a safe feeling that hardware i use now wont stop working tomorrow after an update :) | 03:32 |
| stoneDJay | IdleOne: Im so curious... sorry... hehehe | 03:32 |
| greyspace2004 | Idle; Its asked for do you want to "Y"... you could have guess it perfectly | 03:32 |
| greyspace2004 | lol | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | stoneDJay: np | 03:32 |
| Kohlrak | it won't update tomarrow, we just got a distro | 03:32 |
| Aud1073cH | the winxp drivers within ndiswrapper see wifi card, but cannot connect to internet. anyone else got the Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S to work in 8.04? | 03:32 |
| greyspace2004 | London Ontario | 03:32 |
| Kohlrak | plus, as long as you only update you shouldn't have a problem, it should continue to use the same drivers you're already using unless newer version available | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | greyspace2004: huh? | 03:32 |
| Brent^ | cky: thanks again :) worked perfectly. | 03:33 |
| stoneDJay | Hello folks... My Ubuntu uses 100% of CPU sometimes, in a common tasks like apt-get... OK my proc is not so good... its a Celeron M (toshiba laptop)... My dount is about my new laptop core 2 duo... Will be the samething? | 03:33 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, i just wondered if there would be a list or something similiar where you can write to them that they see what hardware ubuntu users use so that they can build in drivers for these parts on their liveCD's that everythings works on the fly :) | 03:33 |
| cky | Brent^: Good stuff! | 03:33 |
| Apoman | somebody knows how to connect wireless, my pc card detects the networks around, but dont know how to connect to my router | 03:33 |
| Brent^ | now I just have to figure out why it cant connect to AIM anymore | 03:34 |
| IdleOne | stoneDJay: there is a firefox bug causing 100%cpu usage | 03:34 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, and that before they remove a driver they first check if somebody still uses this hardware hehe | 03:34 |
| Brent^ | Apoman: what kind of wireless card? | 03:34 |

| Kohlrak | Spanther, aside from logging what files are downloaded in synaptic and update (and maybe what it finds when searching for updates for your computer), i can't htink of any other way. | 03:34 |
| Apoman | a d-link dwl-650m | 03:34 |
| stoneDJay | IdleOne: but its not only with firefox... | 03:34 |
| Apoman | dwl.g650m | 03:35 |
| IdleOne | stoneDJay: report a bug to launchpad.net | 03:35 |
| Brent^ | what exactly is wrong? does it see the network? if so just click on that name and it should connect | 03:35 |
| unperson | Hi, I'm using 8.04 here and all of a sudden I get no sound in the game battle of wesnoth. I started it from the terminal to look for error messages, but there wasn't anything obviously sound related. | 03:35 |
| greyspace2004 | IdleOne: apt-get install build-essential .... was needed thanks | 03:35 |
| unperson | Sound for other apps (e.g. Pidgin) seems to be fine. | 03:36 |
| IdleOne | greyspace2004: yup no problem | 03:36 |
| djhash | Hey everyone.. My ubuntu is not liking my two HDD setup.. 2 ide hdds 40GB Primary Master and 80GB Primary Slave (A and B respectively).. On A i have 2 partitions, my ext3 mounting root, and a swap partition, B has 1 partition that is /home. Ubuntu boots for a while and pauses at some point for a few minutes, then drops to the busy box shell.. when I physically disconnect B.. Ubuntu gives me an error that it cant find the HDD, and goes | 03:36 |
| unperson | Anyone have an idea what might be going on? | 03:36 |
| spanther | Kohlrak, because when you use suse at install you can check that it should upload hardware information about your computer so that they know what you use but theres nothing similiar in ubuntu i know of hehe | 03:36 |
| Apoman | it does not, and i already put the wep code | 03:36 |
| Kohlrak | i assume it does automatically when you use the update manager | 03:36 |
| IdleOne | spanther: there is Sytem>Admin>Hardware testing | 03:37 |
| Kohlrak | you probablyh send requests of what you have and a server can easily log your requests | 03:37 |
| cky | unperson: Is there a pulseaudio driver for WesNoth? I find that with Ubuntu 8.04 all the sound need to be routed to PulseAudio to work. YMMV. | 03:37 |
| Brent^ | unperson: sometimes I get a simaler problem sometimes when 2 programs try to use sound at once. Try closing other programs that might use any sound and try again | 03:37 |
| fuzzybyte | why does firefox fail to render new pages i visit in gnome? i tried it in kubuntu and it worked normally but in ubuntu i need to refresh every new page because firefox only renders parts of it | 03:37 |

| fuzzybyte | the same problem appears in firefox 3 and firefox 2 | 03:37 |

| mstef | how do i get gnome to stop loading applications upon logging in? pidgin and amorak launch automatically | 03:38 |
| djhash | BIOSboiler: Have you tried VLC or MythTV.. | 03:38 |
| MrGnu | I just wanted to ask this question, I have my 32 bit Ubuntu runing so good, i am scared to do this... but I want to put in the 64 bit. Anyways, I need to be sure that I am not going to get hit hard with Grub. | 03:39 |
| unperson | cky, There were some updates since then, and I assume one of those broke it. | 03:39 |
| unperson | Brent^, Yeah, I've had that, but this one I tried with no other desktop apps running. | 03:39 |
| cky | unperson: Hmm, well. Actually. It may be as Brent^ said. You may need to run lsof (under sudo) and find out what program is using sound. | 03:39 |
| djhash | MrGnu: if you can make an image of your current HDD.. then you can mess with it as you like then re-image the drive.. | 03:39 |

| === bknox is now known as bknoxx | ||
| MrGnu | djhas are there any free imaging tools available that you would suggest? | 03:40 |
| spanther | IdleOne, me either not and because of this everyone should know about hardware testing because support only can be better when the linux kernel and module builders know which hardware needs support :) | 03:40 |

| Brent^ | trakinas: dunno, never looked for a way to do it that way | 03:42 |
| spanther | IdleOne, i'll do that hehe thx :) | 03:42 |
| acaciosc | hi! | 03:42 |
| trakinas | Brent^, thanks anyway. is just that for admin stuff, i like to know how to do on console. for not gettin stuck with graphic tools | 03:43 |
| cky | unperson: Hmm. That's normal and doesn't cause problems. | 03:43 |

| trakinas | Brent^ not me. | 03:44 |
| unperson | cky, Right. This is puzzling. | 03:44 |
| spanther | IdleOne, yep :) but this every month hardware check daemon in background would be a nice idea to improve support for hardware users use without that they have to know pages to paste requests | 03:44 |

| f0rtune | I was wondering if there is a tutorial on how to install ubuntu to a seperate hard drive after windows xp is install on the master | 03:47 |
| spanther | IdleOne, the Hardware Testing tool checks hardware and then sends hardware informations to the hardware database at launchpad so this is the tool people should use (and later maybe automatically via daemon) :) | 03:47 |
| IdleOne | #compiz-fuzion compy | 03:47 |

| chris_420 | caexo i had that happen earlier haha | 03:47 |

| [T]an2 | anyone know how? or a better option? | 03:48 |
| unperson | cky, Well, I was saying that other things have sound. I don't know if they use SDL. For example, if I go to the "Sounds" dialog all the tests work. Pidgin is making sounds, etc./ | 03:48 |
| Truman_ | Hey, I'm failing to mount a fat external drive and I get "input/output error" from fsck.vfat/pvscan/lvdisplay etc..,; is the drive screwed or can it be saved? | 03:49 |
| djhash | gnufied: do you have the compizfusion manager installed? | 03:49 |
| cky | unperson: What's another SDL game I can mention...how about Frozen Bubble? | 03:49 |
| IdleOne | [T]an2: #openoffice.org | 03:49 |
| unperson | cky, One sec | 03:49 |

| cman1 | does ubuntu ever freeze up on anyone? | 03:49 |
| LinuxFan | oh god yes | 03:50 |
| Krimpet | I can't see any processes that are using up any particular amount of CPU or anything... would there be any other way to see why hardy is running so hot/draining my battery? | 03:50 |
| trakinas | cman1: well.... i use debian. =x | 03:50 |
| gnufied | cman1, it did yesterday for me. | 03:50 |
| djhash | gnufied: sorry.. it wasnt meant for you.. sorry | 03:50 |
| unperson | cky, Hmm, don't have that one installed. | 03:50 |
| chris_420 | cman when i run into 98% or more of memory inuse yes lol | 03:50 |
| unperson | cky, I suppose I could install it. | 03:50 |
| trakinas | Krimpet: try top | 03:50 |
| djhash | compy: do you have compizfusion manager installed | 03:50 |
| LinuxFan | cman1 but what os doesnt freeze up from time to time :D | 03:50 |
| cman1 | is there any way to not have it do that? | 03:50 |
| Kohlrak | anyone know of anything that i can benchmark my graphics card with? | 03:50 |
| Krimpet | trakinas: already did. :/ | 03:50 |
| caexo | cman1: it did when i had a 300w powersupply and a older nvidia card... not since i got a 480w and a new card | 03:50 |
| cky | unperson: Yeah, it's a very addictive game, especially when playing against people on the 'net. :-P | 03:50 |
| trakinas | Krimpet: in console... or System > admin > resources | 03:50 |
| trakinas | Krimpet: :/ | 03:50 |
| chris_420 | cman so you want it to freeze? | 03:51 |
| evil-doer | hi, im booting ubuntu from a windows formatted drive/folder and i see 2 of my 3 drives in the file browser, i dont see the drive im booting from. how do i add that? | 03:51 |
| dmsuperman | I'm using VMware, and I ran the VMWare player, maximized it, and accidently hide the little top tab buy clicking the little pin. Now I can't get it back. Any suggestions for getting it back? I can't even unmaximize the player without killing it completely and opening a new one | 03:51 |
| cman1 | caexo, it froze on your desktop? | 03:51 |
| Krimpet | Xorg is the only thing using up any CPU consistently, and it uses no more than 7% or so | 03:51 |
| compy | djhash, yeah thats what im using to config it | 03:51 |
| chris_420 | didn't know anybody still called the internet the net lol | 03:51 |
| trakinas | Krimpet: Funny thing is that a friend is with simillar problem. she has a computer who owns mine, but she gets huge cpu, mem and swap consumptions, while i get 0% of swap.... | 03:51 |
| f0rtune | Will grub auto-detect other operating systems after a fresh install of ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| mstef | how do i get gnome to stop loading applications upon logging in? pidgin and amorak launch automatically | 03:52 |
| Krimpet | hmm, I just noticed something suspicious in powertop | 03:52 |
| noprez | f0rtune--> only will detect during installation | 03:52 |
| Krimpet | 31.7% (265.9) <kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts | 03:52 |
| caexo | cman1: with my old hardware it'd freeze all the time, especially if i tried to play WoW (under wine) since the upgrades i haven't had a system lockup | 03:53 |
| Krimpet | mstef: System -> Preferences -> Session | 03:53 |
| chris_420 | cman1 what you could do is have like a few firefox instances going with ten tabs open on each and see if that does the trick for ya | 03:53 |
| gnufied | mstef, sessions | 03:53 |
| f0rtune | noprez: installation of grub/ubuntu? | 03:53 |
| chris_420 | always works for me | 03:53 |
| mstef | gnufied, its unchecked | 03:53 |
| noprez | f0rtune--> during fresh install | 03:53 |
| trakinas | gnufied: give him/her all the path. | 03:53 |
| ArticWolf | help ... the applications icon disappeared from the panel, I rebooted, and it said something about busy box and the prompt says (initramfs) ... how do i get applications icon back and get back into GUI ... this is Xbuntu 8.04 | 03:53 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| mstef | gnufied, Krimpet , neither of those programs are listed for startup, and "remember application.." is unchecked | 03:53 |
| djhash | fortune: ubuntu will detect them during the installation.. | 03:54 |
| f0rtune | thanks guys | 03:54 |
| gnufied | mstef, remove it, also remove them from current session, if they are there. | 03:54 |

| Daisuke_Ido | dmsuperman: ctrl+f11? | 03:54 |
| trakinas | ArticWolf: you should get more help inside Kubuntu. | 03:54 |
| djhash | Multi-Core processors can have higher processor and mem usage even maxed out.. due to installation of i386 kernel instead of the generic kernel... | 03:54 |
| Apoman | hello my iwconfig shows different essids each time i do iwconfig, | 03:54 |
| gnufied | mstef, okay, then are they there in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession or something like that? | 03:55 |
| Apoman | sometimes mine, but it doesnt connect | 03:55 |
| gnufied | mstef, does it happen for a new user also? | 03:55 |
| dmsuperman | Daisuke_Ido, the VM captures that | 03:55 |
| mstef | gnufied, only have one users..checking those files now | 03:55 |
| ArticWolf | trakinas .. thanks i didnt know there was a channel called Kubuntu | 03:55 |
| xenocampanoli | vanberge: It was on a DVD. The old server I'm using needs a CD. | 03:55 |
| djhash | it also usually shows during slow loads of programs like firefox.. | 03:55 |
| IdleOne | spanther: in the description line or the title line whatever it is called | 03:55 |
| trakinas | ArticWolf: you are welcome | 03:55 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dmsuperman: what's the non-captured key? | 03:55 |
| chris_420 | can someone help me with my keyboard shortcut situation? | 03:56 |

| unperson | cky, Yeah, frozen bubble sound works fine | 03:56 |
| gnufied | mstef, if they are not there in your home directory then you are fine. post a screenshot of your sessions dialog window | 03:56 |
| unperson | cky, I guess I'd really be best served going to the forum. I was just hoping against hope that there was some quick and easy answer. :-) | 03:56 |
| trakinas | sahak: in Energy Management | 03:57 |
| chris_420 | okay guess not... im out later peoples | 03:57 |
| trakinas | if im not wrong | 03:57 |
| gnufied | chris_420, what was the problem? | 03:57 |
| dmsuperman | Daisuke_Ido, you mean which key makes it not capture stuff? Ctrl + Alt makes it release my cursor, but I'm not sure how to send a key to the VMware window (maximized) without it sending it to the vm | 03:57 |
| mstef | gnufied, the window that lists the startup programs? | 03:57 |
| Apoman | flackndsit teh insttaurathor o dah answor sahakle mein dort | 03:57 |

| kang_ | adl;sfjsa;jfals | 03:59 |
| sahak | trakinas: does your computer ask for password when you resume? | 03:59 |
| gnufied | msdtux, sorry, then | 03:59 |
| trakinas | sahak: i dont put it to suspend or hibernate. I turn it off or just turn off the monitor | 04:00 |
| noprez | drowe you can put a copy of that to where you Makefile will reside | 04:00 |
| mstef | gnufied, theres nothing to see in that dialog..only the regular basic apps are listed for startup | 04:00 |
| trakinas | sahak: ah ha!!! go to screen saver | 04:00 |
| gnufied | mstef, and under current session tab? | 04:01 |
| drowe | noprez: so the scripts will look for a config in the current working directory and use it before the debian/config files? | 04:01 |
| gnufied | sahak, yeah, it does ask for me | 04:01 |
| nickellery | what is the application used to view ext3 from windows/ntfs | 04:01 |
| trakinas | sahak: nm... is not there too | 04:01 |

| djhash | Hey.. I'm adding a new hard drive to my ubuntu installation.. I want to move the /home folder to there.. I know I can set the new HDD as ext3 and make it a permanent /home mount during installatoin.. the question is.. how to do it after installation? | 04:02 |
| sahak | gnufied: it is possible to disable password prompt when booting the computer (gdm autologin), but it is not possible to disable it when resuming from suspend. Very strange. | 04:02 |
| gnufied | mstef, because, some of those apps, will have property set that restart the program on new gnome-session, you need to disable that for amarok or whatever program you don't want to restart when gnome starts | 04:02 |
| drowe | noprez: bump | 04:02 |
| evil-doer | hi, im booting ubuntu from a windows formatted drive/folder and i see 2 of my 3 drives in the file browser, i dont see the drive im booting from. how do i add that? | 04:02 |
| mstef | gnufied, ok ill look..thanks | 04:02 |
| gnufied | drowe, there was a command to dump old kernel config, i can't remember it now. | 04:03 |
| freakabcd | hi all | 04:03 |
| mstef | gnufied, amorak isn't even listed..and pidgin isn;t set to restart | 04:03 |
| noprez | drowe you can only have one configure file in that directory | 04:03 |
| freakabcd | Hardy broke the svideo-out (tv-out) on my laptop | 04:03 |

| thiebaude | Which Sun Java version do I use in 8.04? | 04:04 |

| Aud1073cH | do i need to blacklist the new b43 drivers when using ndiswrapper? | 04:05 |

| chaqu1 | See `config.log' for more details. | 04:05 |
| gnufied | Heston, errno 5, read unix programming by richard stevens! ;) | 04:05 |
| macd | chaqu1, you need, build-essential installed | 04:06 |
| evil-doer | hi, im booting ubuntu from a windows formatted drive/folder and i see 2 of my 3 drives in the file browser, i dont see the drive im booting from. how do i add that? | 04:06 |
| Ahadiel | chaqu1, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:06 |
| gnufied | Heston, man errno | 04:06 |
| radiantdesign | what's build essential? | 04:06 |
| Joeseph | hello: I am working on installing my first 'from source' app. I am following the guide at http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing.html#source . I have build-essential, but ./configure tells me that its not a valid directory. I am working with a .tar | 04:06 |
| radiantdesign | very impressed with this apt-get utility... | 04:06 |
| nickellery | radiantdesign, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:06 |
| gnufied | radiantdesign, contains packages for building programs on ubuntu boxen | 04:06 |
| noprez | !info build-essenstials | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Package build-essenstials does not exist in hardy | 04:06 |
| cman1 | can anyone give me a link for setting up evolution mail with gmail? | 04:06 |
| macd | radiantdesign, its a suite of compiler and build tools to compile software | 04:07 |
| noprez | !info build-essentials | 04:07 |
| Heston | gnufied, that is not going to help me, many people are getting the same problem, errno 5 being a read/write issue with the installation medium | 04:07 |
| ubottu | Package build-essentials does not exist in hardy | 04:07 |
| CyD | radiantdesign: did you unpack the tar and cd into the dir? | 04:07 |
| radiantdesign | ok thanks for that | 04:07 |
| bbyever | out of nowhere my connection speed fell to 23 kb/s when it is usually at 100+ how could i fix this? | 04:07 |
| Apoman | whats the difference of a hexadecimal wep and an ascii wep? which to choose in the network manger request? | 04:07 |
| radiantdesign | no cyd, was just asking a question | 04:07 |
| JohnPhys | Should nvidia-settings ask for your password before running? I think it should, as otherwise (such as currently in Hardy) it can't write changes to the xorg.conf file that someone might want to make. | 04:07 |
| macd | why compile when you can apt :) | 04:07 |
| CyD | radiantdesign: that would be your next step then, before doing ./configure | 04:07 |
| radiantdesign | I'm not used to linux at all... just been playing about with it recently | 04:07 |
| evil-doer | hi, im booting ubuntu from a windows formatted drive/folder and i see 2 of my 3 drives in the file browser, i dont see the drive im booting from. how do i add that? | 04:07 |

| gnufied | cman1, follow thunderbird ones, they are almost the same. | 04:07 |
| Phantal | Yesterday, when I clicked K -> Log off, there was an option for 'hibernate'. Now it just says 'logoff'. I went into Control Center -> Power Control -> Laptop Battery -> ACPI Config, and everything was disabled so I clicked 'setup helper application', etc, and chose 'enable' for standby, suspend, and hibernate, but even after applying these changes it still jsut says logoff | 04:08 |
| cman1 | okay thanks | 04:08 |
| Phantal | anyone know what is wrong? | 04:08 |
| chaqu1 | great | 04:08 |
| chaqu1 | now pidgin wasnt found | 04:08 |
| chaqu1 | :-( | 04:08 |
| CyD | radiantdesign: unpack the tar like a zip, then go into that dir in a console. f4 might open a console from your filebrowser | 04:08 |
| Kohlrak | is there a program out ther that'll allow me to test my video card with ubuntu... it used to work well with gutsy, but now it's just goin' nut in hardy | 04:08 |
| radiantdesign | is there any way to get a nice list of all the programs apt-get can install? or some way of browsing them? | 04:08 |
| CyD | it does in dolphin at least | 04:08 |
| Brent^ | my friend just told me to do "ls `yes`" will this do something bad? | 04:08 |
| gnufied | JohnPhys, but nvidia-settings can set video options without commiting to xorg.conf | 04:08 |
| CyD | radiantdesign: synaptic package manager | 04:08 |
| niriven | I noticed the settings in xorg.conf dont really.. make sense. How do i make modifications to my x configuration? | 04:08 |
| CyD | in system applications | 04:08 |
| macd | radiantdesign, a good way 'apt-cache search programname' | 04:08 |

| niriven | chaqu1, : rather help>about | 04:09 |
| JohnPhys | gnufied: it can, but if you want it to use a specific set of settings every boot (In my case I want it to use 75Hz refresh rather than 60Hz, which it auto-defaults to) then this needs to be written to xorg. | 04:09 |
| dmsuperman | how can I find the executable for VMWare workstation? for some reason my menu is pointing to "/usr/bin/vmwareesd" which doesn't exist, and "locate vmware" returns too many results to sift through | 04:09 |
| chaqu1 | isnt there a way to do it through terminal? | 04:09 |
| supertard | is there a walkthrough or hint somewhere on the web as to how to build and install compiz from source? i just want to tweak the source | 04:09 |
| niriven | ceacro, Cause the drivers arnt perfect | 04:09 |
| cky | ceacro: It depends on the firmware that gets loaded into your wireless card. What wireless card are you using? | 04:10 |
| bpat1182 | dmsuperman: which vmwareesd ? | 04:10 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: glxinfo spits out good stuff, glxgears good test, compiz or 3d games if that's what you're lookin to do.. | 04:10 |
| drowe | how do I clean the kernel build files out for a new re-build? | 04:10 |

| compy | after installing nvidia accelerated drivers my resolution dropped to 1024 while before it was at 1600, how can i change it back. Under system preferences 1024 is the max it lets me to go to ? | 04:10 |

| drowe | macd: thanks | 04:10 |
| radiantdesign | so is there a significant difference between apt-get and yum? Excuse my ignorance... | 04:10 |
| dmsuperman | bpat1182, like i said, "/usr/bin/vmwareesd" | 04:10 |
| JohnPhys | compy: install nvidia-settings, then use that | 04:10 |
| Brent^ | is it possible to recompile the kernal while I'm using it? | 04:11 |
| cky | dmsuperman: Do you have /usr/bin/vmware? | 04:11 |
| ceacro | realtek | 04:11 |
| spanther | Brent^, sure :) | 04:11 |
| theflyingfool | how do i use dual monitors without them cloning | 04:11 |
| compy | JohnPhys, under apt-get? | 04:11 |
| dmsuperman | cky, I guess it would make sense to try that wouldn't it...that's it :P | 04:11 |
| cky | Brent^: You can recompile it, but you need to reboot to start using its changes. | 04:11 |
| spanther | Brent^, you can recompile your kernel while using it but after recompiling and setup you need to reboot to boot it hehe | 04:11 |
| cky | dmsuperman: *lol* | 04:11 |
| dmsuperman | cky, in the future though, is there a good way to search for any executable file i might be looking for? | 04:11 |
| cky | spanther: Jinx! | 04:11 |
| dmsuperman | cky, for things like progs installed to non-standard locations | 04:12 |
| cky | dmsuperman: "type". Try: type vmware | 04:12 |
| spanther | cky, jinx? ^^ | 04:12 |
| ceacro | RTL8187 WLAN driver | 04:12 |
| cky | dmsuperman: On, but that won't handle non-standard locations, sorry. | 04:12 |
| drowe | macd: wrong answer actually, I guess. Now, all the ubuntu stuff is gone. No more debian/config | 04:12 |
| chaqu1 | ok ok so my pidgin version is 2.4.1 | 04:12 |
| cky | dmsuperman: You really will have to use locate for that. | 04:12 |
| gnufied | radiantdesign, apt-get is usually faster to begin with | 04:12 |
| chaqu1 | and the requirement is 2.0.0 | 04:12 |
| spanther | cky, whats the meaning of jinx ? | 04:12 |
| dmsuperman | cky, darn. oh well, a new command is always useful though :D | 04:12 |
| ArticWolf | help ... during fsck -c ... what does DRDY ERR mean and is it bad?? | 04:12 |
| cky | spanther: It's something kids say when someone says the same thing as you at the same time. :-) | 04:12 |
| chaqu1 | why is it saying the package pidgin can't be found? | 04:13 |
| nero_ | hi people have any of u got the iwl3945 working on hardy(adhoc)?? | 04:13 |
| spanther | cky, lol okay xD *smiles* | 04:13 |
| radiantdesign | I just tried installing yum by typing 'sudo apt-get install yum', but it's telling me I need something called cElementTree | 04:13 |
| Brent^ | thank you cky and spanther :) | 04:13 |
| Apoman | the wep number that is al the bottom of my router... is it hexadecimal or ascii? | 04:13 |
| bpat1182 | In following the docs in the community Wifi pages, I get the following output from testing wpa_supplicant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10387/ | 04:13 |
| bpat1182 | Any ideas? | 04:13 |
| cky | Brent^: Good luck with your new kernel! | 04:13 |
| dmsuperman | cky, how about this: How can I edit my menu icon so it will launch vmware, and not vmwareesd? | 04:13 |
| theflyingfool | how do i use dual monitors without them cloning | 04:14 |
| cky | dmsuperman: Try: locate vmware-workstation.desktop | 04:14 |
| JohnPhys | compy: yes, I believe that's the package name | 04:14 |
| bbyever | out of nowhere my connection speed fell to 23 kb/s when it is usually at 100+, now it's always bellow 20 kb/s sometimes even as low as 500 b/s. how could i fix this? | 04:14 |
| Hanif | I am installing Kubuntu | 04:14 |
| Hanif | :) | 04:14 |
| spanther | Brent^, when your kernel is loaded it is loaded and wont crash if you recompile it your changes arent loaded either you have to reboot the "changed" then to have it + changes :) | 04:14 |
| Hanif | black macbook for sale - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=110249947102&Category=111422&_trksid=p3907.m29 | 04:14 |
| compy | JohnPhys, thanks | 04:14 |
| cky | dmsuperman: If you can find it, then chances are you can edit it with a text editor. | 04:14 |
| Brent^ | cky: not trying it just yet... was just wondering if it was possbile to do :P | 04:14 |
| cky | dmsuperman: Other alternative: right-click on it, then add it to panel. You can then right-click the icon in your panel to edit it. | 04:14 |
| nero_ | hi people have any of u got the iwl3945 working on hardy(adhoc)? | 04:14 |
| jescis | Hello all \o | 04:15 |
| radiantdesign | can anybody tell me what cElementTree is? Apparently I can't get yum to work because I'm missing it... | 04:15 |
| Phantal | Yesterday, when I clicked K -> Log off, there was an option for 'hibernate'. Now it just says 'logoff'. I went into Control Center -> Power Control -> Laptop Battery -> ACPI Config, and everything was disabled so I clicked 'setup helper application', etc, and chose 'enable' for standby, suspend, and hibernate, but even after applying these changes it still jsut says logoff. anyone know what i should do? | 04:15 |
| spanther | Brent^, changes are loaded after reboot but before that your old config kernel still works while you compile your new there are no issues :) | 04:15 |
| cky | dmsuperman: Edits to your panel item don't affect what's launched from the menu, however. | 04:15 |
| dmsuperman | cky, yeah, then that wouldn't really help | 04:15 |
| compy | Thanks JohnPhys it worked | 04:15 |
| cky | dmsuperman: Then locate your vmware-workstation.desktop and edit it by hand. | 04:15 |
| Hanif | black macbook for sale - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=110249947102&Category=111422&_trksid=p3907.m29 | 04:15 |

| chaqu1 | guys | 04:16 |
| chaqu1 | i got this message now with building essensials | 04:17 |
| chaqu1 | No package 'pidgin' found | 04:17 |
| chaqu1 | Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you | 04:17 |
| chaqu1 | installed software in a non-standard prefix. | 04:17 |
| ceacro | the wireless connects faster | 04:17 |
| naknomi1 | Is Pidgin known to leak memory? | 04:17 |
| ceacro | in windows than ubuntu, why? | 04:17 |
| chaqu1 | Alternatively, you may set the environment variables pidgin_CFLAGS and pidgin_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. | 04:17 |
| nero_ | -- | 04:18 |
| Apoman | is 4732956294 an hexadecimal or an ascii wep key??? | 04:18 |
| chaqu1 | why isnt pidgin where its supposed to be? | 04:18 |
| jim_beam | evolution updates won't download other people have these issues | 04:18 |
| Starnestommy | chaqu1: did you build a version from source or get it from the repositories? | 04:19 |
| Apoman | is 4732956294 an hexadocimal or an ascii wep key??? | 04:19 |
| Kohlrak | wow | 04:19 |
| Kohlrak | yea | 04:19 |

| Starnestommy | Apoman: try it as a hex key. If that fails, then try it as ascii | 04:19 |

| Kohlrak | i don't see your messages nero_... ;) | 04:21 |
| radiantdesign | haha | 04:21 |
| chaqu1 | Starnestommy: i guess that means i got it from source? | 04:22 |
| Starnestommy | chaqu1: yes | 04:22 |
| ceacro | yes, nero | 04:22 |
| jescis | Now I want to change ubuntu's default of starting X at bootup to not starting X at bootup. | 04:22 |
| jescis | How do I? | 04:22 |

| MachinTrucChose | hi | 04:22 |
| Phantal | jescis: Logout & click the 'options' button. I think it might be in there, i know that's where I changed from Gnome to KDE | 04:23 |
| evil-doer | hi, im booting from a wubi install and i cannot see my boot drive in the file browser, any help? | 04:23 |
| Starnestommy | chaqu1: stuff that's compiled from source should always be in /opt or /usr/local | 04:23 |
| ceacro | Why does windows run faster using wireless router than ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| Brent^ | evildoer: go to / and click on host | 04:23 |
| dida | i do not know how to use this software | 04:23 |
| === naknomi1 is now known as naknomik | ||
| nero_ | ok so my problem is that i just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 my wireless in 7.10 was working very cool and i had a dhoc connectivity with my rooomate's comp(xp) using firesarter.but since i installed 8.04 adhoc doesnt work i have to shift to my windows vista and frankly i hate it | 04:24 |
| Brent^ | the host folder is that drive | 04:24 |
| chaqu1 | Starnestommy: oh so its like a project you put it in a a workeable area then let it loose later | 04:24 |
| ceacro | Why does my wireless router connect faster and further with windows instead of ubuntu? | 04:24 |
| MachinTrucChose | can someone tell me if there's a way to have Ubuntu share a folder even if no users are logged in? I shared a folder (by using the Nautilus "Sharing options") as root, but unless I'm logged in, the shared folder is inaccessible. I guess I need the Linux equivalent of a "service". | 04:24 |
| evil-doer | Brent^, oh damn.. thanks | 04:24 |
| Starnestommy | ceacro: possibly because the ubuntu driver isn't as good as the windows one | 04:24 |
| MachinTrucChose | ceacro: probably the quality of the drivers | 04:24 |
| Brent^ | ceacro: windows has better drivers for your wireless device | 04:24 |
| Kohlrak | wow | 04:24 |
| ceacro | woww | 04:25 |
| Kohlrak | x11perf is putting my card to shame | 04:25 |
| Brent^ | wowww | 04:25 |
| evil-doer | Brent^, its just confusing cause my D and E drives are shown separately as disks | 04:25 |
| ceacro | I can't believe my eyes | 04:25 |
| Kohlrak | i think hardy has issues with my card DX | 04:25 |
| dida | can someone tell me how to run the smb | 04:25 |
| RyanPrior | I have no sound all of a sudden. What gives? I've been using Hardy for months and there's been no sound problem - now it says "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 04:25 |
| MachinTrucChose | dida: in Nautilus, right-click a folder and select "sharing options" | 04:25 |
| jescis | Phantal: How about changing the login screens resolution? | 04:26 |
| Brent^ | evil-doer: yeah confused me as well till I decided to take a peak at what was in all those folders in / directory :P | 04:26 |
| Phantal | jescis: beats me | 04:26 |
| ceacro | what you say guys is that windows is better than linux since I use 98% wireless internet and windows drivers are better than linux drivers??? | 04:26 |
| chaqu1 | Starnestommy how do i put the pidgin package there? pidgin is in a few diffrent places... | 04:26 |
| Hanif | get a mac | 04:26 |
| MachinTrucChose | ceacro: exactly | 04:26 |
| Kohlrak | problem wiht linux is that it has no drivers =p | 04:26 |
| Starnestommy | ceacro: some linux drivers are better than or equal to windows drivers in quality | 04:26 |
| nero_ | caecro:yup sae in mycase the iwl3945 driver sucks | 04:26 |

| tiltedwindmills | help, usb is acting weird. I have one critical device that is not working right (usb headset). it was working ok in all 4 ports on my laptop. then after various bumps and tugs, it failed in port after port until it works in none of them. all of my other usb devices work fine in all ports (keyboard, mouse). is it getting blacklisted or something? running 7.10 | 04:27 |

| axod3 | Hi, the mibbit client from mibbit.com seems to be banned from entering the channel #ubuntu . , Can this behavior be changed ? | 04:36 |
| === Aval0n- is now known as Aval0n | ||

| axod3 | Or if a channel operator would ablidge i'd be graciouse . | 04:37 |
| gnufied | Linux_OG, if you have no internet connection at all and you are upgrading using alternate cd, you may end up with partial upgrade. because some packages that you are using currently, may not be there in alternate cd | 04:37 |
| tiltedwindmills | bbyever: if it was the device however, it would not have failed one port at a time | 04:37 |
| martman | DrifterSX right click on it, properties, click the current icon | 04:37 |
| Linux_OG | gnufied: I have the livecd | 04:37 |
| zamnedi1 | Has anyone here ever successfully upgraded from Dapper to Hardy? | 04:38 |
| Linux_OG | and Obviously I have SOME internet, it just maxes at 200mb downloads | 04:38 |
| gnufied | Linux_OG, and afaik you can't use livecd for upgrading. we have been through that | 04:38 |
| DrifterSX | martman the p[roperties section only contains some lame-O pre-set icons stock form ubuntu | 04:38 |
| Linux_OG | You were saying alt-cd though. | 04:38 |
| xxZEXxx | does anyone know how to set firefox with individual profiesl that when loaded with the proper profile will go to an assigned geometric location on the screen? | 04:38 |
| Linux_OG | I guess I can just install it on a spare partition | 04:38 |
| Aval0n | Is there anything other than /proc/cpuinfo for seeing what speed your CPU is? | 04:38 |
| DrifterSX | I want the firefox one to show up on the desktop and not this spring looking thing martman | 04:38 |
| Linux_OG | I've been keeping one around. | 04:38 |
| JohnPhys | Linux_OG: How does it max at 200mb downloads? I'm curious | 04:38 |
| orudie | how to install open office ? | 04:38 |

| tiltedwindmills | bbyever: all it took to make the device fail was a tug on the cable or a bump. linux dumped the device on the floor and will not see it again. | 04:39 |
| maikol | if i have a 2 500gb disk semi-software raid 0 array, is it possible to add two 1tb disks to the array, or do the disks have to be the same size | 04:39 |
| JohnPhys | Linux_OG: Well that's horrid. That 200mb cap is for what, a month? day? | 04:39 |
| DrifterSX | one day this stuff will be as easy as windows( its already better and all just not quite as easy as point, click, double click, and drag and drop) | 04:39 |
| jlc | has anybody loaded lightscribe on 8.04 AMD64? | 04:39 |

| martman | wtf would it be hidden?! | 04:42 |

| Brent^ | is there a way to find out what day my computer was made on with Ubuntu? | 05:16 |
| JohnPhys | mandy: odd, the servers must have jsut been swamped then or something. At any rate, your entire sources.list file is commented out (except for the cdrom), so apt (the program that downloads the packages) doesn't know where they are. You just need to uncomment all of the lines beginning with "deb" except for the first one, you probably want to comment out the cdrom line. I posted I correct file here: http://paste.ubuntu.c | 05:16 |
| nero_ | sorry tritium | 05:16 |
| nero_ | my typing speed withe nglish is very bad | 05:16 |
| tritium | nero_: no problem | 05:16 |
| mandy | JohnPhys: okay and then I just do what to change all that? | 05:16 |
| nero_ | sili:u dere?? | 05:17 |
| phuzion | Is there a way to easily nuke ubuntu studio and get back ubuntu 8.04 without killing all of my preferences and programs? | 05:17 |
| Apoman | FloodBot1, do you know something about Heron? | 05:17 |
| Apoman | im noob too | 05:17 |
| Starnestommy | Apoman: FloodBot1 is a bot | 05:17 |
| JohnPhys | well, you can just copy the file I posted to /etc/apt/sources.list, or you can go in and remove the "#" before each line that starts with "deb", and put a "#" at the beginning of the first line | 05:17 |
| Apoman | hence the bot, last name. | 05:18 |
| JohnPhys | mandy: well, you can just copy the file I posted to /etc/apt/sources.list, or you can go in and remove the "#" before each line that starts with "deb", and put a "#" at the beginning of the first line | 05:18 |
| dabbill | phuzion, why are some of them viewable and some arnt? i used nautilus with root rights to copy all them over at the same time | 05:18 |
| mandy | so I can edit all that in the list without typing a command to do so: | 05:18 |
| mandy | ? | 05:18 |
| Apoman | my oh my | 05:18 |
| mandy | @ JohnPhys | 05:18 |
| mandy | JohnPhys: I think it might be easier to copy and paste. | 05:18 |
| mandy | xD | 05:18 |
| JohnPhys | mandy: ok then | 05:18 |
| mandy | JohnPhys: Brb | 05:19 |
| abdul-rahman_III | can i use wget to do multi-segment downloading? | 05:19 |
| Apoman | mandy, what does xd means? | 05:19 |
| phuzion | dabbill, basically, studio ended up installing some different things and I want the 8.04 ones back. For example, it basically hosed firefox on me. I have no back/forward navigation anymore, and my bookmarks are gone. | 05:19 |
| mandy | I use dit as a smilie | 05:19 |

| phuzion | 8.04's wireless is rock solid, so tons will work with 8.04 | 05:21 |
| mandy | JohnPhys: So at each # line, I paste what you typed for me there? Or at the very first line at the top of the sources.list? | 05:21 |
| Apoman | tons? | 05:21 |
| mandy | where it says about the version I have? | 05:22 |
| mandy | or the line directly underneath that>? | 05:22 |

It is also not a router... | 06:09 |

| karex | jay4: what's term mean? | 07:12 |
| linux60284 | karex: term means timespan, period of time | 07:13 |
| jay4 | karex: term is short for terminal -- a command-line interface | 07:13 |
| linux60284 | jay4: i think karex was wondering what long-term "term" meant? | 07:13 |

| Bidget | any idea why my program updates are downloading at like 14KB/s anyone?? | 07:32 |
| patifa | doon: just a minute and I'll find an easy way for you to try the restricted driver | 07:33 |
| bazhang | Bidget, likely the security updates; they are often slow like that | 07:33 |
| babolat | Bidget: try the Best Server function in Software Sources manager | 07:33 |
| doon | frogscott, you can access it from the menu, it's set up so that it opens when you open xchat, unless you click the box to set it not to open when you open xchat | 07:33 |
| Bidget | ah yeah, I have 2 of those updates to isntall | 07:33 |
| redwhitewaldo | bazhang: i restarted. now audio works (on avi) but video is still "black" | 07:33 |

| cashmoney | because that's all that supports my g4 eMac | 07:35 |
| Nostahl | so does wubi run in ram? virtual file systems etc? | 07:35 |
| babolat | Nostahl: i dual boot for a slightly diff. purpose.. games.. oh yeah.. but u may want to read up on howtos and wikis about dual booting, as experience teaches me that this sort of stuff may be easy if you are well documented | 07:35 |
| bazhang | cashmoney, then ebox is likely not available | 07:35 |
| linux60284 | patifa: fglrx is a propietary driver, the ubuntu people didn't name it | 07:35 |
| patifa | actually doon, those instructions are old... | 07:35 |
| cashmoney | bazhang, it isn't. | 07:35 |

| doon | frogscott, that's the channel options, you must have unchecked the menu display in view options, I'm not sure how you undo that | 07:36 |
| doon | patifa, yeah, that's what i was noticing | 07:36 |
| frogscott | aha thanks doon great work | 07:36 |
| patifa | linux60284: oh yeah, I figured it was named by ATI. | 07:36 |
| babolat | frogscott: u ARE free to leave u know | 07:36 |
| frogscott | lol it was a joke | 07:36 |
| frogscott | sorry | 07:36 |
| Nostahl | babolat that's throwing me off lol if im choosing ubuntu from the bootloader im loading into ubuntu environment not a windows app? | 07:36 |

| akatsuki | hi anyone having problems with the wifi on the macbook pro?.. it was working well for about a year. now stop working | 07:37 |
| frogscott | yes | 07:37 |
| akatsuki | any idea? | 07:37 |
| doon | heh, frogscott, sorry, I've never deselected the menu bar view | 07:37 |
| frogscott | It worked Doon thanks | 07:37 |
| babolat | Nostahl: nope.. you'll get what we do. the real thing | 07:37 |
| doon | ok | 07:37 |
| patifa | Nostahl: tricks Windows into loading a different kernel using a method Microsoft put in to load multiple windows installs, and does so using a hard drive image stored on the windows installation. Pretty tricky I found out. | 07:37 |
| doon | what did you do frogscott ? | 07:37 |
| frogscott | made a random joke | 07:38 |
| Nostahl | ah so it does actualy load up into a real ubuntu setup then eh | 07:38 |
| frogscott | this is SParta | 07:38 |
| bazhang | frogscott, for chit chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic thanks | 07:39 |

| skurakai | hi can you help me with Krusader on Ubuntu 8.04? | 07:39 |
| Nostahl | is there anything special i will have to do for athero's based wifi ? | 07:39 |
| babolat | skurakai: what seems to be the prob? | 07:39 |
| skurakai | 1) Krusader can't open tar.gz package | 07:40 |
| doon | frogscott, totally pwnd, fo sho | 07:40 |
| linux60284 | Nostahl: Not on Ubuntu Gusty or Hardy, as long as you allow the default propietary drivers to kick-in | 07:40 |
| frogscott | I got slammed | 07:40 |
| frogscott | ok thanks for help | 07:40 |
| skurakai | 2) can't start as Root | 07:40 |
| patifa | doon: Set the show filter to "All Available Applications". Search for "fglrx". It's the "ATI binary X.Org Driver" you may also want the catalyst control center while you're at it. Proprietary software to configure the proprietary driver. | 07:40 |
| LaneLimited | cool | 07:40 |
| doon | ok | 07:41 |
| skurakai | 3) F2 (start terminal) doesn't work | 07:42 |
| patifa | doon: The "Hardware Drivers" tool in System > Administration allows you to activate the driver, which you may have to do after you install it. After you get all that done, start looking up "Compiz" stuff for getting all the cool graphics stuff working. I hope they get me a free driver that works with my card soon. | 07:42 |
| skurakai | babolat: have you Krusader? or other system manager | 07:42 |
| babolat | skurakai: you may want to read this first -->http://swik.net/krusader+Kubuntu?popular | 07:43 |
| doon | sounds good patifa that should get the ball rolling | 07:43 |
| Bidget | is there a program that opens rar archives in linux? | 07:43 |
| bazhang | !unrar | Bidget | 07:43 |
| ubottu | Bidget: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 07:43 |
| babolat | bidget: u need to install the rar package for it to work with Archive Man | 07:43 |
| patifa | 7-zip can also read rar archives, I believe. | 07:44 |
| linux60284 | patifa: there is an opensource version of the atheros drivers in the works | 07:44 |
| daurnimator | hey | 07:44 |
| skurakai | babolat: hm maybe problem because i'am using Ubuntu not Kubuntu - later i had Kubuntu and no problems with Krusader | 07:44 |
| ariqs | how do you read into a file ago in terminal.. like program >> whatever | 07:44 |
| daurnimator | I can't get my bluetooth adapter to work | 07:44 |
| ariqs | ago - again | 07:44 |
| daurnimator | anyone able to help? | 07:44 |
| daurnimator | "hcitool dev" has nothing | 07:44 |
| Bidget | so what exactly would I have to type to get to open a rar archive...? lol | 07:44 |
| skurakai | Bidget: free-unrar | 07:44 |
| bazhang | !bluetooth | daurnimator | 07:44 |
| ubottu | daurnimator: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 07:44 |
| linux60284 | ariqqs: you can go to terminal and cd /usr/bin && ls filename*, then you can run that with ./filename | 07:45 |
| daurnimator | thx bazhang | 07:45 |
| babolat | Bidget: go to synaptic and search for it | 07:45 |
| kadakas | I installed Java5, but still it does not work in Firefox nor Epiphany | 07:45 |
| bazhang | ;] | 07:45 |
| Bidget | cool thanks | 07:45 |
| daurnimator | my net has gone REAL slow | 07:45 |
| doon | wow, servers must be pretty busy, download is under a kb | 07:45 |
| blackbird | I got a few problems. easiest one first: running skype (fresh install) and when I try to make a call, "problem with audio playback" | 07:45 |
| babolat | kadakas: how did u install it? | 07:45 |
| pelangi05 | server mesra.dal.net | 07:45 |
| testsubject | does ubuntu run nicely on an XBOX360? | 07:45 |
| ariqs | linux60284, I mean I want to put the contents of ls into a file, for example | 07:45 |
| Nostahl | if i install ubuntu with virtualbox is it going to let me play with my laptop's hardware or is it going to use virtual hardware? | 07:46 |
| kadakas | babolat: apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin | 07:46 |
| kadakas | babolat: and then: update-alternatives --config java (i chose /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java from the selection) | 07:46 |
| babolat | kadakas: that worked for me, but i did jre and plugin separately | 07:46 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| ariqs | or to be more specific, I want to put the output of ls into a log file | 07:47 |
| kadakas | java is listed in about:plugins | 07:47 |
| kadakas | but no java site works :S | 07:47 |
| fiya_werkin | ariqs, ls > file.txt | 07:47 |
| patifa | ariqs: add " > filename" after the ls command | 07:47 |
| fiya_werkin | use >> to append | 07:47 |
| ariqs | hah, I just did one too many > thanks | 07:47 |
| fiya_werkin | kadakas, i had to uninstall the icedtea plugin in order to get javfa to work after i installed sun | 07:48 |
| linux60284 | sorry yall, my computers going very slow, i missed all questions for me above | 07:48 |
| kadakas | fiya_werkin: thx, i'll try that | 07:48 |
| blackbird | running skype (fresh install) and when I try to make a call, "problem with audio playback". someone on a forum said something about disabling other audio programs, but I don't see any others using audio in the processes list | 07:49 |
| Daftpunk | Hi there could you guys tell me how long does it take to install ubuntu on laptop with absolutely no previous experience with linux whatsoever? | 07:50 |
| kadakas | fiya_werkin, babolat: i got it working by uninstalling icedtea :D | 07:50 |
| kadakas | thx :D | 07:50 |
| fiya_werkin | kadakas, just fyi, i dont know if its been fixed, but if you install sun and remove openjdk or whatever it's called, if you try to install netbeans, it _requires_ openjava | 07:50 |
| fiya_werkin | if thats an issue | 07:50 |
| linux60284 | blackbird, make sure you have the latest version of skype, they just released anew versio for linux | 07:50 |
| kadakas | fiya_werkin: ill keep that in mind | 07:50 |
| blackbird | daftpunk: it took me less than 45min on a p3 with 256mb pc133 ram | 07:50 |
| fiya_werkin | some bunked dependency down the line in the packages for it | 07:50 |
| blackbird | linux60284 I have latest version | 07:50 |
| AussieGuy | hi. I have a Dell PowerEdge 1550 server, 4 scsi hard disks with RAID. when I put the hardy install cd in and press enter at the welcome menu, it loads up then drops me to a busybox shell | 07:50 |
| taral_dev | How can i able to connect remote PC using terminal? | 07:51 |
| fiya_werkin | taral_dev, ssh | 07:51 |
| linux60284 | try switching your audioo t oss from alsa or vice versia | 07:51 |
| fiya_werkin | assuming its -> linux machine | 07:51 |
| Daftpunk | blackbird can you have it as a dual boot? I would like to keep windows as well | 07:51 |
| kadakas | /msg ubottu etiquette | 07:51 |
| linux60284 | skype only officially supports one of those two audo drivers | 07:51 |
| blackbird | daftpunk absolutely | 07:51 |
| fiya_werkin | Daftpunk, yes you can | 07:51 |
| Bidget | ok now second question about rar archives... is there an app that will open multi-part rar files? | 07:51 |
| Daftpunk | thanks | 07:51 |
| blackbird | daftpunk I forget where the documentation is... but theres some stuff that will walk you through it in detail | 07:52 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, apt-get install unrar | 07:52 |
| blackbird | !info dual boot | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Package dual does not exist in hardy | 07:52 |
| blackbird | gah | 07:52 |
| bazhang | Bidget, just do the first part the rest will follow | 07:52 |
| patifa | !dualboot | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 07:52 |
| ere4si | AussieGuy: the folks in ubuntu-server would be more familiar with that setup | 07:52 |
| blackbird | there we go thanks :D | 07:52 |
| ere4si | AussieGuy: opps - #ubuntu-server | 07:52 |
| Daftpunk | I am a bit concerned about all the hardware installation especially wireless connection | 07:52 |
| Bidget | it's already installed Im just asking how to do it... | 07:52 |
| blackbird | daftpunk go to that link that ubottu just put out | 07:52 |
| Daftpunk | ok thanks | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, it's an option during the install, as long as you choose it, when you boot you should get the menu of which OS to book | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | boot | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | as long as you don't tell it to overwrite your entire hard disk | 07:53 |
| Bidget | um | 07:53 |
| Bidget | what?? | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | oh, sorry getting people mixed up | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | its late | 07:53 |
| Bidget | oh ok hahaha | 07:53 |
| Bidget | np | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | got your last statement mixed up with the dual boot question | 07:53 |
| daurnimator | I can't get my bluetooth adapter to work (still) | 07:53 |
| Bidget | :D | 07:53 |
| fiya_werkin | unrar e file.rar should do it i think | 07:54 |
| fiya_werkin | it should automatically look for the rest | 07:54 |
| daurnimator | it shows up in lsusb as "Bus 006 Device 007: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter" | 07:54 |
| daurnimator | but not in hcitool | 07:54 |
| Bidget | alright cool thanks man | 07:54 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, i think once unrar is installed, you can also open the archive with the graphical archive manager and extract that way | 07:55 |
| Bidget | oh | 07:55 |
| Bidget | well that makes it easier | 07:55 |
| fiya_werkin | much | 07:55 |

| toker | Hi all.. I am not getting much love from the pre-packaged version of wine with guildwars it's really hit-n-miss weather it will start this time or not.. sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.. I have consistantly had good luck when I compile wine by hand.. I remember there being alot of dependent packages that need to be pre installed for a compile of wine to work on *buntu.. I also remember there being a script(?) of some sort | 07:58 |
| zCz | [ U y a r ý ] : toker : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !. | 07:58 |
| toker | that will get the required deps for a hand compile.. but I don't remember where that info is located can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks :) | 07:58 |
| patifa | Daftpunk: Get the desktop version. | 07:58 |
| linux60284 | Daftpunk: the Desktop versio is also for laptops | 07:58 |
| ere4si | Daftpunk: the desktop is for lappys too | 07:58 |
| linux60284 | Daftpunk: for old laptops, use xubuntu | 07:58 |
| ikonia_ | toker: basiclly, start to build wine, then it will complaing about dependencies, you can then fill them in, or you can read the docs to understand the dependencies | 07:59 |

| toker | there's a ton of Deps that are missing... | 08:00 |
| jedwards | meaning what? | 08:00 |
| linux60284 | toker: apt-get install automatically installs dependencies when you allow a sudo apt-get install wine | 08:00 |
| ikonia_ | toker: pull down the source package, there is a flag with apt to pull down associated deps | 08:00 |

| toker | ikonia_: how exactly do i do that using the source package from wineHQ? | 08:02 |

| ikonia_ | Creationist: .gnome dir in your home dir | 08:02 |
| patifa | jedwards: to find out how safe 8.04 is, I suggest you try the livecd. It will increase your confidence in 8.04 if the LiveCD works in the Try Ubuntu mode. | 08:02 |
| toker | man I wish I had saved that link. it was a very nice command... to get all the required deps for a hand compile. | 08:03 |

| ere4si | dynamethod: does sudoapt-get install firefox-2 not work? | 08:06 |
| linux60284 | dynamethod, swiftfox is firefox2 | 08:06 |
| ikonia_ | Creationist: it can be teh default behaviour for any gnome desktop | 08:06 |

| linux60284 | ere4si, it does not worrk | 08:06 |
| ere4si | hmmm | 08:06 |
| dynamethod | if swiftfox is firefox2, why dont they just call it one name, instead of two names for the same program? | 08:06 |
| ere4si | linux60284: that got it for me tho... | 08:06 |
| linux60284 | dynamethod: swiftfox is firefox2 built for every architecture, it allows firefox2 plugins and all | 08:06 |

| linux60284 | does apt-get keep a log of the dependencies of wine? i know the packages.ubuntu.com keeps a list of dependencies | 08:10 |
| bidget | HELP I'm trying to install my nvidia drivers so I followed a tutorial and did some stuff and I'm in the nvidia installer and it's asking me to download a kernel interface is this something I want to do? | 08:10 |
| toker | fiya_werkin: and I didn't even know of build-essential thanks for the tip tho :) | 08:11 |
| ikonia_ | bidget: what turorial | 08:11 |
| fiya_werkin | linux60284, apt-cache show wine | 08:11 |
| ikonia_ | tutorial | 08:11 |
| fiya_werkin | look at the 'depends' line, altho even those depends can have depends | 08:11 |
| linux60284 | awsome, thanks fiya | 08:11 |
| freakabcd | r | 08:11 |
| fiya_werkin | build_essential will take care of a _lot_ of dependency problems | 08:11 |
| bidget | It was at some ubuntu geeks website I would link you but I'm on irc on my cell phone | 08:11 |

| smmagic | Can someone reccommend me a IRC client or is xchat quite good for me to stay with? | 08:12 |
| ikonia_ | bidget: perhaps this is not the best time to debug this issue then | 08:12 |
| LMJ | ok, thanks ikonia_ | 08:12 |
| ikonia_ | smmagic: search the repo's there are tons, try them see which one you like | 08:12 |
| bidget | Well what should I do | 08:12 |
| toker | fiya_werkin: I will let ya know how the compile goes using the script from the wineHQ site shortly as soon as all the deps are done downloading. | 08:12 |
| linux60284 | smmagic, i would recommend irrsi for a text irc program | 08:12 |
| bidget | Just hit the wowes button? | 08:12 |
| smmagic | irssi is terminal based? | 08:12 |
| fiya_werkin | smmagic, i like konversation a lot if you don't mind kdelibs floating around | 08:12 |
| linux60284 | smmagic: yes | 08:12 |
| bidget | I mean power button lol | 08:12 |
| fiya_werkin | but i use some other kde apps too so no biggy | 08:12 |
| ikonia_ | bidget: well 1.) there is official ubuntu guides and tools to help you, you should use them 2.) we can't help unless we know what you did and what the actual issue is | 08:12 |
| Flynsarmy | How do i remove bookmarks from my top panel? | 08:12 |
| smmagic | Not my thing then. | 08:12 |
| linux60284 | smmagic: ok, try pidgin? | 08:13 |
| fiya_werkin | smmagic, screen + irssi | 08:13 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody | 08:13 |
| smmagic | Pidgin isn't really for IRC since I tried. | 08:13 |
| bidget | Well someone here linked me to the stupid thing. | 08:13 |
| jescis | Hello all | 08:13 |
| smmagic | Like, it works but its basic and doesn't fit properly | 08:13 |
| ikonia_ | bidget: that doesn't change anything | 08:13 |
| doktoreas | after upgrading to HArdy, after I log in the system I see the HD led working like a mess | 08:13 |
| linux60284 | cd .. | 08:13 |
| fiya_werkin | smmagic, nothing wrong with xchat either :) | 08:13 |
| doktoreas | it stops after about 10 min and nothing is showned in top | 08:13 |
| Apoman | k | 08:14 |
| jescis | How can I keep a dhcp connection? I keep loosing it :/ | 08:14 |
| TheMoebius | does anyone know why top reports 100% CPU usage, but the process with the highest percentage is only 4% and the total percentage usage adds up to maybe 20%? Where is the rest of it coming from? | 08:14 |
| Apoman | im i in? | 08:14 |
| bazhang | Apoman, yes | 08:14 |
| linux60284 | jescis: you can not keep a dhcp connection, it is router-based | 08:14 |
| Apoman | in | 08:15 |
| linux60284 | jescis: I would recommend setting up a static IP for the computer in question | 08:15 |
| jescis | linux60284: So, I have to use dhcp every time my connection expires? | 08:15 |
| Flynsarmy | That's pretty bad UI design. There should be an 'edit bookmarks' link in the bookmarks drop down in the top panel. Shouldn't ahve to go through nautilus | 08:16 |
| linux60284 | jescis: dhcp by definition exppires, statics do not | 08:16 |
| fiya_werkin | Flynsarmy which bookmarks are you trying to edit? | 08:16 |
| jescis | linux60284: and how can it be static when the isp uses dhcp? | 08:17 |
| === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia | ||
| linux60284 | jescis: i thought you weree using a routre, you have no router | 08:17 |
| Flynsarmy | fiya_wekin: The ones in 'places' drop down next to 'Applications' in the top panel. I figured it out. You have to do it in nautilus | 08:18 |
| Daniel^ | the adept upgrader says theres a new distribution available, is that a good idea? | 08:18 |
| jescis | linux60284: I'm using a two in one. | 08:18 |
| linux60284 | jescis: two in one? you mean modem to a router to your computers? | 08:18 |
| linux60284 | jescis: or a router and modem in one unit, like a 22wire | 08:18 |
| jescis | linux60284: it is a 2wire :o | 08:19 |
| Bidget | how do I install nvidia drivers | 08:19 |
| fiya_werkin | !nvidia | 08:19 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:19 |
| ikonia | !nvidia > Bidget | 08:19 |
| linux60284 | jescis: i guessed right :) | 08:19 |
| ikonia | Bidget: check out the pm from ubottu | 08:19 |
| fiya_werkin | actually, you don't need to do the binary drivers tho | 08:19 |
| jescis | linux60284: you a witch or a psychic? | 08:19 |
| linux60284 | jescis: you can setup a static ip for your computer | 08:19 |
| Daftpunk | wireless | 08:19 |
| fiya_werkin | restricted device manager should pick up that you have an nvidia card and offer to install them | 08:19 |
| Daftpunk | nvidia | 08:19 |
| linux60284 | jescis: i figured it was, i have one myself | 08:19 |
| Bidget | ikonia, I can't click on system because for some reason my screen is way smaller than its supposed to be so if I try and click it it just opens up a terminal | 08:20 |
| jescis | linux60284: Let me guess AT&T? | 08:20 |
| linux60284 | jescis: you can stil lsetup a static ip, 2wire uses 172.16.x.x as the submask, to access the router and see yourself, use 172.16.1.1 | 08:20 |
| linux60284 | jescis: yep | 08:20 |
| alado2 | can it be harmful for my system to add the medibuntu repos to hardy? or are the stuff in it fully tested and safe? | 08:20 |
| nevr0sed | cheers | 08:20 |
| jescis | XD m:) | 08:21 |
| fiya_werkin | alado2, pretty popular repo | 08:21 |
| gdzhljw | 这不是这 | 08:21 |
| nevr0sed | i have an issue connectin to my vpn network. | 08:21 |
| Bidget | ikonia, what should I do | 08:21 |
| nevr0sed | can someone help me on that ? | 08:21 |
| jason_a | iptables port forwarding: should this be enough? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10433/ | 08:21 |
| linux60284 | nevr0sed: try the propietary cisco plugin to kpvnc, not the free one | 08:21 |
| amirman84 | how do you force quit an app from the terminal? | 08:21 |
| bazhang | !cn | gdzhljw | 08:21 |
| ubottu | gdzhljw: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 08:21 |
| Bidget | ikonia, I can't click on system because for some reason my screen is way smaller than its supposed to be so if I try and click it it just opens up a terminal | 08:21 |
| gdzhljw | - -！ | 08:22 |
| fiya_werkin | amirman84, if your running it in the terminal ctrl-c | 08:22 |
| nevr0sed | linux60284 : what do you mean by that sorry i am a newby :-) | 08:22 |
| Bidget | can someone help me install my stupid nvidia drivers | 08:22 |
| jason_a | it seems to do __something__, not it doesn't quite work. I get a hang when I try to telnet | 08:22 |
| linux60284 | nevr0sed: sudo apt-get install kpvnc (or kvpnc, i get it confused sometimes), then import the files for vpn into hta tprogram (GUI program) | 08:23 |
| linux60284 | nevr0sed: that command should be issued in terminal | 08:23 |
| pheld | is there a way to make ubuntu's version of vlc send keepalives to RTP-servers so that the stream doesn't stop every 2 min? | 08:23 |
| jescis | would 172.16.1.1 and 255.255.255.0? | 08:23 |
| linux60284 | make it 172.16.1.35 that shouldn't be taken | 08:23 |
| linux60284 | 172.16.1.1 is taken by your router itself | 08:24 |
| Bidget | ikonia how do i open the restricted drivers manager if I cant click on system>administration | 08:24 |
| amirman84 | fiya_werkin: i want to use it for regular GUI type apps, i found the little panel object that force quits an app for you but i don't want it on my panel, it's hardly ever needed and it's a sad thing to have around, so what can i use from the terminal to force quit an app running in GUI? | 08:24 |
| joetheodd | Is there any easy way to upgrade to hardy from gutsy without using the upgrade manager? Like apt's dist-upgrade? | 08:24 |
| Bidget | dont upgrade to hardy | 08:24 |
| Bidget | you will regret it | 08:24 |
| fiya_werkin | amirman84, you can hit alt-f2, then type xkill, then click the window to kill | 08:24 |
| ikonia | Bidget: as I said to you earlier, I don't know what you've done to your system so I can't comment | 08:24 |
| ikonia | Bidget: don't advise people like that | 08:24 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, bad advice | 08:24 |
| Bidget | like half of your stuff will stop working and you'll want to kill yourself | 08:24 |
| jescis | what command do I use to set it up? | 08:24 |
| joetheodd | Bidget: eh? | 08:24 |
| ikonia | Bidget: your hardly in a postition to offer advice | 08:24 |
| linux60284 | joetheodd, research on google, there is a go... command independent of apt-get's dist-upgrade | 08:24 |
| Bidget | well it seems your instructions havent been much help ikonia | 08:25 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I've not given you any instructions | 08:25 |
| amirman84 | fiya_werkin: i guess that's pretty good too, thanks | 08:25 |
| Bidget | right | 08:25 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I've said "this is not the time to resolve this" due to a lack of info and ability for you to offer the changes | 08:25 |
| jason_a | anyone w/ iptables mastery? I'm having trouble port-forwarding on a single net device... | 08:25 |
| Bidget | well I went here anyway | 08:25 |
| Bidget | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-nvidia-acceleration-in-feisty-nvidia-8800-and-legacy-users.html | 08:25 |
| jescis | linux60284: what command do I use to set it up? | 08:25 |
| fiya_werkin | amirman84, you can also try killall <appname> from the terminal, or also ps -ef|grep <appname>, then type kill -9 pid# | 08:25 |
| fiya_werkin | where pid# is the number that comes after the name of the program after you do the ps -ef|grep <app> command | 08:26 |
| amirman84 | i was reading the man on killall but there was no mention of "force quit" are they the same? what's the difference? | 08:26 |
| linux60284 | jescis: you can go to Networking, propertiess for the wireless or wired connection you are using, select sstatic,tand thent ype ip 172.16.1.35, submask should appear with tab, then router is 172.16.1.1 | 08:26 |
| LMJ | ok, ulog is up & running ikonia , thanks ;) | 08:26 |
| fiya_werkin | well, kill's generally won't save any open data you have | 08:26 |
| joetheodd | When upgrading to hardy, does anyone have that lame video issue? | 08:26 |
| Bidget | which issue is that | 08:26 |
| jescis | linux60284: I got rid of X | 08:26 |
| linux60284 | jesscis: a submaks of 255.255.255.0 should work | 08:27 |
| fiya_werkin | joetheodd, "that" issue? | 08:27 |
| Bidget | I seem to be having a lot of them, so probably | 08:27 |
| SSBM_roy | I'm seeing a connection on port 40890 in firestarter to 78.140.145.71 and I don't know what it is and why it's there; any ideas? | 08:27 |
| amirman84 | fiya_werkin: is that the only difference? | 08:27 |
| linux60284 | jescis: you can do it from sudo ifconfig eth? -inet 172.16.1.35 | 08:27 |
| joetheodd | fiya_werkin, bidget, the issue where your x config dies in a fire and you're stuck on a terminal again | 08:27 |
| fiya_werkin | amirman84, more than likely no, but its as much as i know | 08:27 |
| Bidget | nah havent had that one | 08:27 |
| jescis | linux60284: thanks | 08:27 |
| fiya_werkin | joetheodd, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 08:27 |
| linux60284 | jescis: no problem | 08:27 |
| amirman84 | fiya_werkin: thanks | 08:27 |
| joetheodd | fiya_werkin, yeah but i always forget the command :P | 08:27 |
| fiya_werkin | :) | 08:28 |
| Bidget | but I am having the one where my drivers arent loading properly and when someone linked me to a tutorial to install my drivers my screen resolution is way smaller and I can't get into my restricted drivers manager (which apparently doesn't work anyway, according to the tutorial I read) and now I can't fix it | 08:28 |
| Uplink | my WIne is not working :( | 08:28 |
| Bidget | go to #winehq they are a great help with wine | 08:28 |
| Bidget | they fixed most of my problems | 08:28 |
| Uplink | fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeSpinLock 0x4577a4 | 08:28 |
| Uplink | oh, ok ty | 08:29 |
| Bidget | np | 08:29 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, if you are at least running the nvidia driver, you can sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings and use that to customize your resolution, thats what I use | 08:29 |
| SSBM_roy | anybody know why that connection is there? | 08:29 |
| zcat[1] | Is there any easy way to get a nicer voice in orca? | 08:29 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I'd stop using the turotial your using, it doesn't sound specially good and quite miss-leading | 08:29 |
| SSBM_roy | I'm kind of reaking out seeing it without knowing what it is | 08:29 |
| fiya_werkin | might not be the 'official' way but it works great for me | 08:29 |
| Bidget | how do I know if Im running the nvidia driver | 08:29 |
| fiya_werkin | well, you can install nvidia-settings, nad it will tell you if you're not | 08:29 |
| Bidget | well ikonia Ive already followed the tutorial and it didnt work and now I can't get into the restricted drivers manager to follow the instructions you gave me from ubottu | 08:29 |
| charlie | i am having trouble installing Grub. i had to reinstall my windows partition and it redid the boot manager part so now my grub is gone. i tried fixing it from a live cd but keep getting error 22 | 08:29 |
| Bidget | so now what? :( | 08:29 |
| joetheodd | linux60284, do-release-upgrade, thanks :) | 08:29 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I appriciate that, and I'll say this one more time to you. Without seeing the guide so that I know what you've done, now isn't the best time to resolve this | 08:30 |
| Bidget | I already linked it to yopu | 08:30 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I've missed that, sorry | 08:30 |
| Bidget | ikonia, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-nvidia-acceleration-in-feisty-nvidia-8800-and-legacy-users.html | 08:30 |
| zcat[1] | oh, nm.. I can use festival | 08:31 |
| ikonia | Bidget: and what card do you have ? | 08:31 |
| Bidget | evga 8800gt | 08:31 |
| fiya_werkin | ah | 08:31 |
| Bidget | fiya_werkin, yeah I tried the nvidia-settings but its telling me Im not using an nvidia driver, so that one didnt work | 08:31 |
| fiya_werkin | thats like person #10 in the past 2 days i've seen with problems with the 8800gt here | 08:31 |
| ikonia | Bidget: thats a terrible guide, | 08:31 |
| joetheodd | How would you reverse this command? sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox | 08:32 |
| Bidget | lame | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Bidget: ? | 08:32 |
| Bidget | well I asked for help in here and thats where someone sent me haha | 08:32 |
| bazhang | Bidget, what is lame | 08:32 |
| charlie | !grub | 08:32 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Bidget: for future reference, official and supported docs for pretty much anything are at https://help.ubuntu.com | 08:32 |
| Bidget | that I ask for help and someone links me to a tutorial that gives me more problems than I had in the first place =\ | 08:32 |
| SSBM_roy | someone please why am I seeing a connection to 78.140.145.71 to port 40890 | 08:33 |
| ikonia | Bidget: ok, as I understand it your being asked to compile the kernel interface for the nvidia drivers ? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | SSBM_roy: no, what's running on 40890 ? who's ip is that ? | 08:33 |
| SSBM_roy | I really have no idea | 08:33 |
| Bidget | well it asked me if I wanted to search for one that was already compiled and I wasnt sure so I said no | 08:33 |
| SSBM_roy | I entered the ip in firefox and it's a russian file upload site | 08:33 |
| ikonia | Bidget: quit out of that menu | 08:34 |
| bazhang | !who | SSBM_roy | 08:34 |
| ubottu | SSBM_roy: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 08:34 |
| Bidget | so it compiled it itself, then after that it asked if I wanted it to update my configuration files and then I said yes then after I rebooted Im here | 08:34 |
| SSBM_roy | firestarter doesn't tell me what service is running | 08:34 |
| ikonia | SSBM_roy: are doing any file sharing, torrenting etc etc | 08:34 |
| SSBM_roy | ikonia: not at the moment | 08:34 |
| Bidget | Im not at the menu I was at the menu like 5 minutes ago while I was in the cli | 08:34 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, this from the downloaded install from nvidia? | 08:34 |
| Bidget | yeah | 08:34 |
| ikonia | SSBM_roy: it will be left oves from that | 08:34 |
| daurnimator | anyone able to help with bluetooth? | 08:34 |
| jescis | Linux60284 left :( | 08:34 |
| ikonia | Bidget: damn, so you've build the module | 08:34 |
| SSBM_roy | ikonia: well I was running torrents in deluge earlier | 08:34 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, you should be in fairly good shape so far then | 08:34 |
| Bidget | ehh I guess so yeah | 08:34 |
| Bidget | well not really | 08:34 |
| Jambon | howdy all. how do I set emerald to be my theme manager? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | SSBM_roy: probably left over connections/seeding | 08:35 |
| fiya_werkin | ikonia, pretty sure the binary does the module install | 08:35 |
| fiya_werkin | or else it'd fail and tell you | 08:35 |
| Bidget | it says it installed successfully but apparently Im not using an nvidia driver according to nvidia-settings | 08:35 |
| DOOM_NX | does anybody know how i restrict the number of simultaneous downloads to 1 in D4X? | 08:35 |
| SSBM_roy | well thanks anyway I was paranoid about seeing a random connection for no reason | 08:35 |
| charlie | can anybody help me reinstall grub? | 08:35 |
| rohan | can i get ext4 support on ubuntu 8.04 without recompiling the kernel? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | fysaen: yes, thats what I'm worried about, he' dropped the nvidia driver over teh glx-package drivers | 08:35 |
| rohan | charlie: yes, what is the problem? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | rohan: you can't | 08:35 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, you're at a terminal? | 08:35 |
| rohan | ikonia: aww ok | 08:35 |
| Bidget | no not right now | 08:35 |
| Bidget | I was but Ive restarted and am back in gnome | 08:36 |
| fiya_werkin | oh | 08:36 |
| fiya_werkin | but not with the nvidia driver | 08:36 |
| Bidget | well how do I actually tell what driver Im using?? | 08:36 |
| charlie | i reinstalled windows on my windows partition, and so i lost it, and when i go into grub from a live cd, and try to install it there using the instructions at the link if you do !grub i get error 22 | 08:36 |
| alado2 | has anybody here been able to get voipstunt/voipbuster etc. to work with ubuntu? | 08:37 |
| rohan | can you pastebin the complete error? | 08:37 |
| rohan | charlie: ^^ | 08:37 |
| charlie | rohan: sure | 08:37 |
| jescis | ifconfig comes up with "Hhost name lookup failure" using "sudo ifconfig eth? -inet 172.x.x.x" | 08:37 |
| dessnr | hi all. I've upgraded to hardy, but I notice that the drivers for the Point of View (NVIDIA) 7600gt still don't work. I've tried everything under the sun and still no go. Any chance of a date for problem solving on this issue? | 08:37 |
| violinappren | hi all, i have an atheros wifi card, by default it creates a wifi0 device and an ath0 device in station mode, and i can create more "virtual" athx device, but when i make an ath0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces and reboots, wifi0 is not created and so ath0 doesn't get configured, any ideas? | 08:38 |
| askand | I cannot acess the settings for the loginscreen anymore in hardy, the harddrive goes nuts when I try, what can I do? Any suggestions? | 08:38 |
| charlie | rohan: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10434 | 08:38 |
| doktoreas | other then top, how can I see wich process is heavy working on the hd? | 08:38 |
| Bidget | how do I install nvidia drivers for an 8800GT on 8.04? | 08:39 |
| bazhang | violinappren, which atheros chipset | 08:39 |
| violinappren | doktoreas: try lsof | 08:39 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, you can try running sudo nvidia-xconfig from the terminal, then restarting x, or run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and go through the menu to redo your xorg.conf | 08:39 |
| Jambon | help with emerald? also, is emerald outdated? did it get replaced by something else? | 08:39 |
| dessnr | good luck Bidget, I'm having trouble with an earlier card. | 08:39 |
| Bidget | well I had mine working till I upgraded to this bs 8.04 | 08:39 |
| fiya_werkin | most of the default menu's for the xserver-xorg command will accept the defaults, and choose the 'nvidia' driver when you get to that option | 08:39 |
| violinappren | bazhang: 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) ... worked fine in 7.10 | 08:39 |
| dessnr | same Bidget | 08:39 |
| fiya_werkin | just fyi, i have an 8800gts thats working fine | 08:40 |
| HHRy | Goodmorning peoples | 08:40 |

| bazhang | violinappren, does madwifi support that? | 08:40 |
| rohan | charlie: are you still on the livecd | 08:40 |
| charlie | rohan: yes | 08:40 |
| rohan | charlie: ok, hang on for a mo | 08:40 |
| jescis | Jambon: no, but the people at #compiz-fusion can help with the details | 08:40 |
| violinappren | bazhang: yes and it works fine if i manually configure the device after it boots | 08:40 |
| Bidget | fiya_werkin, its asking if I want to use a kernel framebuffer device... yes or no? | 08:41 |
| bazhang | !envy | Bidget Xcell | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Bidget Xcell: 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. | 08:41 |
| rohan | charlie: you have to do setup(hd0) not setup(hd0,5) | 08:41 |
| dessnr | i tried envy and I get the same thing Xcell. I get a message coming up saying that I have to run in low res, cause their is a problem selecting the driver. I manually select the 7 series for my 7600GT and still nothing. | 08:41 |
| fiya_werkin | yes is fine | 08:41 |
| Bidget | envy doesnt work with 8.04 bazhang I already tried it | 08:41 |
| Bidget | oohhh xcell | 08:41 |
| charlie | rohan: oh ok, will give it a go | 08:41 |
| Xcell | when i did envy, it worked nicely | 08:41 |
| rohan | charlie: yes, that should work | 08:41 |
| bazhang | Bidget, the repos package for hardy is envyng-gtk (gnome) and envyng-qt (kde) | 08:41 |
| Bidget | thanks | 08:42 |
| charlie | rohan: same error | 08:42 |
| rohan | charlie: pastebin it please | 08:42 |
| charlie | rohan: oh wait | 08:42 |
| askand | I cannot acess the settings for the loginscreen anymore in hardy, the harddrive goes nuts when I try, what can I do? Any suggestions? I tried running "sudo gdmsetup" from the terminal, I put in my rootpassword, the harddrive start reading a lot (I think) and nothing more happens in the terminal | 08:42 |
| violinappren | i'm just wondering why adding ath0 in /etc/network/interfaces makes wifi0 disappears after a reboot | 08:42 |
| fiya_werkin | askand, you know, mine did the same exact thing | 08:42 |
| Xcell | dessnr, try installing nvidia settings manager | 08:42 |
| fiya_werkin | askand, it took about 10 minutes to come up | 08:42 |
| fiya_werkin | askand, after that has worked fine | 08:42 |
| charlie | rohan: i did it just then for both and got "Error 17: cannot mount selected partition" | 08:42 |
| Lupion | Hi!, I've got a problem here, in case someone can give me a hand. The problem is that after a crash (retreiving RSS data, which I don't understand why it occured), When I run Evolution, the main "mail panel" is missing, and I cannot handdle to get it back. Any suggestion? | 08:42 |
| askand | fiya_werkin: Oh I see...how you reported a bug? | 08:43 |
| joetheodd | I've tried googling and found nothing. Does anyone know of a repository for the firefox3 betas? | 08:43 |
| rohan | charlie: no, for you, it should be root(hd0,5) and then setup(hd0) | 08:43 |
| charlie | ok | 08:43 |
| ikonia | fiya_werkin: first time it's run it will take a moment, its the same for everyone. There is a bug logged against it for some update it wants to do on first launch, but can't | 08:43 |
| dessnr | Xcell: i did that in gutsy, but i will try it here. | 08:43 |
| jescis | I need help! ifconfig comes up with "Hhost name lookup failure" using "sudo ifconfig eth? -inet 172.x.x.x" | 08:43 |
| ikonia | joetheodd: firefox beta is installed in hardy | 08:43 |
| jescis | What do I use to set a static ip address? | 08:43 |
| ikonia | jescis: network manager | 08:44 |
| violinappren | joetheodd: i don't think so, only mozilla's ftp and i think MOTUs are going to package new significant releases | 08:44 |
| jescis | ikonia: in tty cli mode? | 08:44 |
| doon | so what app will unpack rar files? | 08:44 |
| Xcell | ok, remember, you may have to boot 1mce or twice for x to pick it up, once you get it in there it should work fine denner | 08:44 |
| ikonia | jescis: in that case you can use ifconfig or ip addr | 08:44 |
| charlie | rohan: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10435 | 08:44 |
| ikonia | doon: unrar | 08:44 |
| joetheodd | ikonia, sweet :) | 08:44 |

| doon | ikonia, I looked that up adn it didn't find anything | 08:44 |
| doon | ikonia, is it in the rep.s? | 08:44 |
| ere4si | jescis: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 08:44 |
| ikonia | doon: it's in the non-free repo | 08:45 |
| dessnr | Xcell: do you have the sudo command for that off hand for downloading nvid manager? | 08:45 |
| fiya_werkin | doon, unrar should be | 08:45 |
| daurnimator | anyone help with bluetooth? | 08:45 |

| Lupion | Hi!, I've got a problem here, in case someone can give me a hand. The problem is that after a crash (retreiving RSS data, which I don't understand why it occured), When I run Evolution, the main "mail panel" is missing, and I cannot handdle to get it back. Any suggestion? | 08:45 |
| jescis | doon: also p7zip(7-zip) | 08:45 |
| fiya_werkin | zgmf-x20a, printscreen? :) | 08:45 |
| ikonia | toker: glad your working, but I don't trust or recommend generic scripts such as wine-hq | 08:45 |
| joetheodd | Man, I LOVE this upgrade tool -- You have to download a total of 459M. This download will take about 4 hours 37 minutes with your connection. | 08:45 |
| Xcell | dessnr, its in repros, just go to synapt, and in search type (nvidia) | 08:45 |
| toker | It's the only thing I get any love with.. | 08:46 |

| pwnt | hey all. is it that hard to connect to the internet via wireless connection? | 08:46 |
| dessnr | cheers mate, shall try it now. | 08:46 |
| violinappren | Lupion: if you don't care about the data in evolution, delete it's config from user directory | 08:46 |
| nevr0sed | linux60284 : i am back, i do not have internet on my ubuntu where shall i get the package and what are the commands to execute the process ? | 08:46 |
| fiya_werkin | pwnt, really depends on your card | 08:46 |
| toker | damn game is fussy.. in ubuntu.. never had any probs in Mandriva.. or Mint.. | 08:46 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiya_werkin: lol, no no, these documents are hundreds of pages... need an automated app, like adobe sorta thing | 08:46 |
| joetheodd | pwnt, your mileage may vary but my laptop worked out of the box | 08:46 |
| fiya_werkin | zgmf-x20a, hmm | 08:46 |
| rohan | charlie: pastebin the contents of cat /proc/partitions | 08:46 |
| Lupion | violinappren, I tried that, but whenever it crashes again, I get the same result | 08:46 |
| fiya_werkin | zgmf-x20a, i think imagemagick may be able to do it | 08:47 |
| Balachmar | Where do the spam messages go, when I use spamassasin in evolution in combination with an exchange account? | 08:47 |

| ikonia | joetheodd: I'm well aware of it | 08:48 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, what about the restart of x after dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:48 |
| fiya_werkin | can you run nvidia-settings now? | 08:48 |
| charlie | rohan: yes, i believe so | 08:48 |
| Bidget | one moment | 08:48 |
| glick | scuse me, what do i have to install to get the cube? | 08:48 |

| zgmf-x20a | fiya_werkin: hmm dont have it here by default, but i will look into it now, thanks man | 08:48 |
| Lupion | violinappren the thing is I don't know how to make it crash... it crashes from time to time when retreiving rss data | 08:48 |
| dessnr | Xcell: do i need to first enable the NEW drivers to be able to utilise the nvid config you speak of? | 08:49 |

| rohan | charlie: oops, i need to rush.. i'll be back in about 10 minutes, if you've not solved your problem till then.. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | glick, aye | 08:49 |
| Xcell | dessnr, if you have the drivers, install them, but you should still be able to run that yes | 08:49 |
| Lupion | ok, thanks violinappren | 08:49 |
| joetheodd | Uplink, what kind of processor are you using? Other processes being run? Try opening System Monitor and adjusting the nice rating of your music player to a bit lower perhaps? It's not getting enough "attention". | 08:49 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, you only do that once, i thought you already did it | 08:49 |
| Bidget | no | 08:49 |

| Uplink | ty for the tip joetheodd | 08:50 |

| egoleo | hello guys | 08:50 |
| dessnr | Xcell: yeah i rebooted many times for this in the past, but not two times in a row so I will try that now. | 08:50 |
| joetheodd | Uplink, I'm not a AMD guy so I don't know what a Turion is, but anything from the x2 x64 era should have no problem. But that nice thing should do the trick for you either way. | 08:51 |
| toker | or at least that's what it says im doing on the site? | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | toker: don't know, it works fine for me, i get no errors when i update | 08:51 |
| Xcell | ok, dessnr, let me know, i know its a apin but ittl get worked out | 08:51 |
| toker | tried it on two completely different boxes.. and get the same on both.. | 08:51 |

| Mr_Awesome | hi, im having major problems with sound since upgrading to hardy. is there any way to just use alsa instead of pulseaudio? | 08:56 |
| mm_ | Why I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it no video card list? | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: it depends | 08:56 |
| pwnt | gordonjcp: on what friend | 08:56 |
| luccons | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10437/ | 08:57 |
| fiya_werkin | mm_, what card do you have? | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: well, having a wifi card that works, having a wifi AP that works, and having an internet connection that works | 08:57 |
| pwnt | he has a wifi card that worked earlier in a windowsxp. but now he installed ubuntu and having hard time connecting to the same exact wireless internet place. | 08:57 |
| doon | jescis, well if you figure out what it was, hit me up in pm, I'm going to sleep | 08:57 |
| mm_ | fiya_werkin: vmware-video-card | 08:57 |
| Bidget | alright so apparently Im not using an nvidia driver =\ | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: do you know what kind of card he has? | 08:57 |
| Y-Town | can anyone tell me how to get the talkd daemon enabled? | 08:57 |
| fiya_werkin | Bidget, even after selecting nvidia in the dpkg-reconfigure? | 08:57 |
| pwnt | the internet connection should work... its working for other pcs | 08:58 |
| pwnt | and the card should work too, because he has xp before and it worked | 08:58 |
| pwnt | so whats next gordonjcp | 08:58 |
| Bidget | there was no option to select nvidia though | 08:58 |
| Bidget | all it did was ask me about my keyboard and stuff | 08:58 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: do you know what kind of card it is? | 08:58 |
| pwnt | gordonjcp: unfurtunatly I don't know the type of card. | 08:58 |
| fiya_werkin | there should be a driver selection screen | 08:58 |
| fiya_werkin | where it prob. has nv selected by default | 08:58 |
| Bidget | no | 08:58 |
| sysadmin-lb22 | hey all want to upgrade my Gutsy To Hardy..however I have customized it and removed alot ofuneeded progs..If I upgrade will it re-install the programs I removed or will it leave those out ? | 08:58 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: that's incredibly important to know, because some cards don't work very well, or indeed at all | 08:58 |
| Bidget | it asked if I wanted to use some frame buffer kernel which I said yes | 08:58 |
| StevenX | guys, i want to kill gdesklets through the terminal. can anyone tell me what it will say when I type in "ps -e". I can't find it in order to kill it. | 08:58 |
| Bidget | then it asked me like 10 questions about my keyboard layout | 08:58 |
| Bidget | then it was finished | 08:58 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: do you know what kind of laptop he's using? | 08:58 |
| todd_ | anyone else have giant font in places that it shouldn't be? For example when i boot up and I'm at the login screen the letters are so massive they don't fit into the box. Anyone know how to fix it? | 08:59 |
| fiya_werkin | oh, hmm | 08:59 |
| pwnt | gordonjcp: ah, so its his card that doesnt work via linux? hence it worked in windows before in the same internet connection | 08:59 |
| danlii | Is there any media player out there that looks and works kinda like old xmms, that is not Audacious (can't become friends with that one...)? | 08:59 |
| pwnt | gordonjcp: yes it is an IBM, I think the name was lanerdo 710 | 08:59 |
| pwnt | something like that. its not with me right now tho | 08:59 |
| Bidget | danlii, whats wrong with using xmms?? | 08:59 |
| Xcell | bridget i told it no with the kernel buffer, it was the only way it would work, but ill stand by. | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: doesn't sound familiar, but that's probably a Centrino which should work perfectly well | 08:59 |
| danlii | Bidget: It doesn't show up in Synaptic. :) | 08:59 |
| Bidget | hm ok I'll try that I guess | 08:59 |
| Xcell | and tab the rest of the way out | 08:59 |
| glick | do i have to restart x for special effects to take effect? | 08:59 |
| Bidget | danlii, yeah I had to install it manually | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: xmms is dead now ;-) | 09:00 |
| Bidget | danlii, it was worth the effort though, audacious sucks | 09:00 |
| Bidget | gordonjcp, well I'm still using it :P | 09:00 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: I quite like audacious | 09:00 |
| pwnt | gordonjcp: I'll check on that later, lets assume it should work, what are the steps i should follow? | 09:00 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: only thing that's a PITA with it is that I need to port some plugins across | 09:00 |
| bazhang | pwnt, best to have the laptop in front of you to troubleshoot it honestly | 09:00 |
| Mr_Awesome | hi, im having major problems with sound since upgrading to hardy. is there any way to just use alsa instead of pulseaudio? | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: as bazhang says, it's best if you both sit down with it and a working internet connection ;-) | 09:01 |
| Bidget | gordonjcp, mine wouldnt play mp3s so I just ditched it and reinstalled xmms | 09:01 |
| pwnt | bazhang: Thats true | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: yours is broken then ;-) | 09:01 |
| Bidget | yep | 09:01 |
| pwnt | I told him not to use linux to be honest | 09:01 |
| Bidget | so I got rid of it hahaha | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: did you install any plugins? | 09:01 |
| pwnt | he lack the english language | 09:01 |
| Bidget | no | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: so, no input plugins? | 09:01 |
| Bidget | I dunno I installed it through synaptic | 09:01 |
| Bidget | does it not come installed with the capability to play music? | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: doesn't make it any easier | 09:02 |
| Bidget | seems kind of odd for a music player wouldnt you think | 09:02 |
| doon | this(https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/extra-repositories.html) says that the universe and multiverse are enabled by default... is this true? | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: not really | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: what if you don't want to play back MP3s/ | 09:02 |
| violinappren | Mr_Awesome: do you have a conexant modem ? | 09:02 |
| pwnt | I used slackware, ubuntu, pclinuxos, redhat, mandriva before, and it all worked flawless to me, I read forums alot and i'm ok in english, but he has a terrible english so i suggested that linux is not for him! hehe but he still want to learn. | 09:02 |
| Bidget | well it wouldnt work with anything so thats kinda irrelevant | 09:02 |
| Mr_Awesome | violinappren: i think so | 09:02 |
| rohan | charlie: you're still around? | 09:03 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: "wouldn't work with anything"? | 09:03 |
| glick | i have to logout and log back in for compiz too take effect? | 09:03 |
| violinappren | Mr_Awesome: uninstall it's driver, it interfers with sound driver | 09:03 |
| Bidget | bottom line, xmms works, audacious didnt | 09:03 |
| Bidget | meh | 09:03 |
| charlie | rohan: yeah, no luck | 09:03 |
| gordonjcp | Bidget: why not? | 09:03 |
| joetheodd | xmms was awesome, but i moved on to amarok. It's like the old horse that can't run as fast as it used to | 09:03 |
| Bidget | I dunno do I look like an expert to you? | 09:03 |
| pwnt | but when i used his laptop. it was my first using Hardly. the new version of ubuntu, so when i couldnt get online i came here to ask. | 09:03 |
| rohan | charlie: ouch, ok, pastebin the contents of sudo fdisk -l | 09:03 |
| iuri | hi there, | 09:03 |
| Bidget | why do you think Ive been here trying to install my stupid drivers for the last hour and 10 minutes | 09:03 |
| pwnt | before i've used Gutsy and Fiesty. | 09:03 |
| Mr_Awesome | violinappren: okay. thanks | 09:03 |
| doon | glick, you probably have to restart x | 09:03 |
| Xcell | glick only if your drivers are ok, you shoud not have to | 09:03 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: you need to find out what kind of card he's got - if it's a centrino laptop it should be good, something like "Intel 2200bg"? | 09:04 |

| wiigee | damn, my hard drive is warm | 09:04 |
| gordonjcp | pwnt: anyway you should see a list of access points when you click on the network thing in the top right | 09:04 |
| Mr_Awesome | violinappren: um, where can i uninstall them? synaptic? | 09:04 |
| charlie | rohan: ok | 09:04 |
| doon | wiigee, that happens :p | 09:05 |
| rohan | charlie: now do "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 -o rw,exe" | 09:05 |
| pwnt | gordonjcp: okay, but when im on the X. "Gnome" desktop, do i just go to the up right systray where it has a connection picture, and i click it. but there i haven't found a "Search nearby wireless connections" buttom, or is there some other way? | 09:05 |
| doon | wiigee, that's why you should have fans on them | 09:05 |

| Bidget | why do I need to enable repos? | 09:11 |
| ikonia | fiya_werkin: from what I've seen it appears to be a specific set of makers don't advertise the card properly on the chipset, so it's not picked up | 09:11 |

| toker | Bidget: don't have to.. | 09:30 |
| rohan | charlie: then tell me what happens | 09:30 |
| toker | and the most I have ever paid for an expansion was 30 bux at walmart. | 09:30 |
| Bidget | yeah but its a lot harder to find people to play with if you still only play on the prophecy campaign | 09:30 |
| toker | 40 highest | 09:30 |
| charlie | rohan: how do i log out? | 09:30 |

| dermoth | Hi there. What happened to the process scheduler in Hardy and how can I alter the behaviour? for instance on my dual-cpu I can't steal more than 30-40% cpu from background tasks (Overall, no matter how many concurrent processes I run) even after assigning them the IO_IDLEPRIO polify (and they're niced too) | 09:45 |
| dessnr | Xcell: (NVIDIA Drivers) good news, got it working. now heres the long story. i could not get it working in 7.10 (gutsy) for the life of me. Couldn't work out why. I installed hardy, and tried everything I had before. Now heres the tricky bit. I have Windows XP, fedora 8 and Ubuntu installed. When I first did all this I had to alter the file in fedora 8's boot/grub/menu.1st. I had to add the Ubuntu entry to the fedora boot/grub/menu.1st so that Ub | 09:45 |
| dessnr | untu could be accessed, as fedora 8 was the last thing that i installed. now what happens, is every time i update ubuntu's kernel, i was forgetting to alter the fedora grub menu, to add the new ubuntu kernel entry, so it was always booting the old kernel. never allowing it to match that of anything i updated. i went into ubuntu, (7.10 kernel) although i had hardy installed and kept getting the same thing. so what i did, was went into ubuntu's boot/gr | 09:45 |
| dessnr | ub/menu.1st file and copied the new 8.04 entry from that to the fedora boot/grub/menu.1st file so that i would be booting the proper kernel. so with the new updated kernel, where the drivers had been updating, mixed with making certain that the correct kernel was being booted was all intact, the NVIDIA drivers (NEW) worked perfect. i am going to go back to ubuntu now instead of having fedora on there as well. too much hassle to keep updating the boot/ | 09:45 |
| agro1986 | ubottu: thanks for the NFS info | 09:45 |
| dessnr | grub/menu.1st file. as a lesson, people should stick to windows and ubuntu or windows and fedora but not all three. | 09:45 |

| Xcell | any time, but for the rest, i have no idea, but there are some here who do, glad i could help my man | 09:46 |
| CommanderCool | since my hardy update my notebook won't boot (ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen...) until i deactivate wlan...plz help? | 09:46 |
| styles_ | Its really weird guys.. | 09:46 |
| iuri | erUSUL, a vmware zipped could mean it? | 09:46 |
| dessnr | cheers again Xcell! I owe ya! | 09:47 |
| styles_ | Since I installed the nvidia driver for my video card, games stop working even more.. | 09:47 |
| stonekeeper | PROXY RANT: for the love of God, i hope someone at canonical unifies the proxy settings. I had a disaster of an install behind a proxy because there's one for "system" proxy, one for "synaptic" proxy, and even then, wget doesn't work in the "system updates" for some unknown reason, making it really really hard to get it installed and working behind proxies. | 09:47 |
| Xcell | na, i am a noob like the rest ofem | 09:47 |
| blankthemuffin_ | Bidget, that sounds like the nvidia driver installer didn't update the file, on the last question about updating your xorg.conf file you have to be sure to change the answer to yes so it is updated. It might be worth running it again to make sure. | 09:47 |
| styles_ | before they would start and just be slow, now there just dead. | 09:47 |
| bazhang | !ot | stonekeeper | 09:47 |
| fiya_werkin | styles which card? | 09:47 |
| ubottu | stonekeeper: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:47 |
| yates | bazhang: any idea? | 09:47 |
| stonekeeper | bazhang: maybe I'm asking for help on the issue? | 09:47 |
| bazhang | yates you tried the alt cd? | 09:48 |
| charlie | rohan: done | 09:48 |
| styles_ | fiya_werkin: its a nvidia FX 6600 | 09:48 |
| erUSUL | Bidget: have you "sudo nvidia-xconfig" | 09:48 |
| Bidget | blankthemuffin_, ok what do I have to do to run the installer properly? apparently I didn't do it right last time. I used this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-nvidia-acceleration-in-feisty-nvidia-8800-and-legacy-users.html | 09:48 |
| bazhang | stonekeeper, proxy rant is not a good way to ask for help :] | 09:48 |
| Klessou | Strange, the time to do a sudo without password in a launcher seems higher than the time in a terminal ... | 09:48 |
| rohan | charlie: ok, now save close gedit and again type update-grub in the terminal, pastebin it | 09:48 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, yeah | 09:48 |
| finek | high-freq, how to change the display manager from kdm to gdm? | 09:48 |
| stonekeeper | bazhang: sorry :) I know how busy this channel is and what you gotta do to get attention. Apologies | 09:48 |
| Klessou | violinappren: Strange, the time to do a sudo without password in a launcher seems higher than the time in a terminal ... | 09:48 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, I'd pastebin it but pastebin doesnt seem to work so well | 09:48 |
| yates | bazhang: I don't have a good enough connection here to get it, stuck out in the sticks at my parents house for the holiday weekend! | 09:49 |
| finek | how to change the display manager from kdm to gdm? | 09:49 |
| hellues | !paste | 09:49 |
| ubottu | 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) | 09:49 |
| shiny_ | hi, can anyone help me on Skype? | 09:49 |
| Bidget | oh cool another person can type !paste | 09:49 |
| zvacet | finek : if you have both installed then in login under sessions | 09:49 |
| stonekeeper | bazhang: if it's any consolation, i convert and support many people on Ubuntu :) | 09:49 |
| bazhang | stonekeeper, no worries; just try to ask it in a more concise fashion ;] | 09:50 |
| charlie | rohan: i have a menu, a new one is available, blah blah. which option? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10460 | 09:50 |
| styles_ | fiya_werkin: I'm using the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards) | 09:50 |
| Megaj5555 | caw | 09:50 |
| finek | zvacet, ok but the deafult is kdm and how ot change it to gdm? | 09:50 |

| styles_ | !nivida | styles_ | 09:50 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10463/ | 09:51 |
| rohan | charlie: didn't you type "update-grub" | 09:51 |
| ere4si | !nvidia | styles_ | 09:51 |
| ubottu | styles_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:51 |
| styles_ | thanks lol | 09:51 |
| ere4si | hehe | 09:51 |
| stonekeeper | bazhang: ok, it's 2 questions: 1. Why doesn't update manager use the proxy settings? (or was this just a quirk on first install?) and 2. Do you have any idea if there will be a unified proxy config? Many thanks! | 09:51 |
| charlie | rohan: i thought i did | 09:51 |
| rohan | charlie: you seem to have done dpkg-reconfigure or something | 09:51 |
| CommanderCool | since my hardy update i get this error 'ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen'...any help? | 09:51 |
| shiny_ | i cant do voice chat on skype and if i want to switch over to other user for chating, the skype is struck. how to resolve it? | 09:51 |
| rohan | charlie: in any case, do "keep the version locally installed" | 09:51 |
| erUSUL | Bidget: crtl + alt + backspace | 09:51 |
| finek | zvacet, is there any possibility to change kdm to gdm? | 09:51 |
| bazhang | stonekeeper, the proxy settings? like a mirror or other please clarify | 09:51 |
| stonekeeper | it's weird as it hung on the system update console trying to wget a file, but then cut and pasting this into a terminal would work fine | 09:52 |
| stonekeeper | so i guessed it was not honouring system proxy settings? | 09:52 |
| rohan | charlie: did you do "keep the local verison"? after that do update-grub once again | 09:52 |
| dermoth | I guess I have the answer to my question... Looks like the kernel use CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED/CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED (or something similar; since I run background tasks as a different used it keeps a "fair" amount of scheduling. Now I need to find out how to change this (hopefully without re-compiling the kernel) | 09:52 |
| zvacet | finek : when you start on login window in botom left corner you have sessions option and there you can choose which one you want to use and you will see bobth of them and just choose kdm | 09:52 |
| rohan | charlie: tell me once you're done | 09:52 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, k I did ctrl+alt+backspace | 09:52 |
| charlie | rohan: i did do update grub: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10464 | 09:52 |
| charlie | rohan ok ill try ti again | 09:52 |
| styles_ | Hows KDE + Ubuntu? Is that nicer than Gnome? | 09:52 |
| jhaig | Has anyone got synergy working in Hardy? I was using it until last Friday with Gutsy but after upgrading to Hardy over the weekend it seems to be completely broken. | 09:52 |
| CommanderCool | since my hardy update i get this error when booting 'ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen'...any help? i need attention plz :) | 09:53 |
| rohan | charlie: doing update-grub again and again shouldn't harm, just this menu which you pasted is strange | 09:53 |
| zvacet | finek : choose gdm | 09:53 |
| rohan | styles_: depends on your preference | 09:53 |
| ere4si | !kubuntu | styles_ | 09:53 |
| erUSUL | Bidget: that should have rastart X and give you your new configuration | 09:53 |
| ubottu | styles_: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 09:53 |
| bazhang | stonekeeper, that sounds like a bug; have you consider filing one | 09:53 |
| styles_ | rohan: any difference in preformance? | 09:53 |
| charlie | rohan: ok, yep got same output | 09:53 |
| rohan | charlie: all right, then type "grub-install /dev/sda" | 09:53 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, ok how do I tell if nvidia drivers are loaded properly? | 09:53 |
| rohan | charlie: no menu now, right? | 09:53 |
| klos | is als comparable to coreaudio on the mac platform ?? | 09:53 |
| charlie | rohan: sudo? | 09:53 |
| toker | I'm gonna ask again I'm having some trouble with glipper can someone have a look and see if I missed anything? please http://paste.ubuntu.com/10457/ | 09:53 |
| klos | alsa | 09:53 |
| erUSUL | Bidget: lsmod | grep nvidia for the kernel part | 09:53 |
| rohan | styles_: well, i don't find any. depends on a lot of factors, like compiz etc | 09:53 |
| Bidget | k... | 09:53 |
| rohan | charlie: you're already "root@ubuntu" right? sudo isn't required, no harm if you use it though | 09:54 |
| styles_ | ere4si: If i try Kabuntu, arnt I going to have to reformat? | 09:54 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, didn't give me any output, is that normal? | 09:54 |
| bazhang | styles_, no | 09:54 |
| rohan | styles_: no, if you have ubuntu, type "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" | 09:54 |
| styles_ | can I just put kde on here and disable gnome for a bit? | 09:54 |
| styles_ | o okay | 09:54 |
| rohan | styles_: yes, just type the command i told :) | 09:54 |
| fiya_werkin | yep, at the login session you just choose a different wm | 09:54 |
| zvacet | styles_ : no,just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 09:54 |
| charlie | rohan: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10465 | 09:54 |
| bazhang | styles_, choose under session in login window | 09:54 |
| ere4si | styles_: you can instal kubuntu-desktop and select it from sessions at the login | 09:54 |
| stonekeeper | bazhang: heh, i really should get into bug submission. Ok, will do now i've confirmed it's not right. Thanks for your time. | 09:54 |
| erUSUL | Bidget: nope it should output a line or two | 09:55 |
| finek | zvacet, iknow it but when i want ot login, the deafult is kdm and i always have to change, is it possible to make gdm deafult? | 09:55 |
| Bidget | erUSUL, hmm... | 09:55 |
| styles_ | ahh | 09:55 |
| styles_ | :D | 09:55 |
| starcannon | Hi everyone | 09:55 |
| mwansa | is there a faster way to disable the touchpad ie not removing the PS/2 Module in the kernel. im looking for something like commenting out a option in xorg | 09:55 |
| rohan | charlie: don't use sudo at all, for the moment when you're root@ubuntu | 09:55 |
| ere4si | styles_: same with xubuntu-desktop | 09:55 |
| bazhang | stonekeeper, if it is there then you can confirm it :) | 09:55 |
| starcannon | Are there any cloudbook users in here? | 09:55 |
| fiya_werkin | mwansa, you can blacklist it? | 09:55 |
| rohan | now why in hell is grub looking for /dev/sda6! | 09:55 |
| styles_ | whats xubuntu-desktop?! | 09:55 |
| mwansa | uhm | 09:55 |
| bazhang | starcannon, you want to get ubuntu on that? | 09:55 |
| zvacet | finek : I think it ask you if you want to make it default and just say yes :) | 09:55 |
| rohan | charlie: paste "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" again | 09:55 |
| Bidget | xubuntu is for computers with really low resources I think styles_ | 09:55 |
| Bidget | I could be wrong though | 09:55 |
| stonekeeper | bazhang: slighty OT, do you work for canonical? I need to contact them about something. | 09:56 |
| starcannon | bazhang I got 8.04 up and running on it actually | 09:56 |
| styles_ | o.0 | 09:56 |
| bazhang | styles_, xfce and ubuntu | 09:56 |
| charlie | "Not found or not a block device." | 09:56 |
| patifa | styles_: x refers to xfce | 09:56 |
| charlie | rohan: ok | 09:56 |
| finek | zvacet, but it doesnt | 09:56 |
| starcannon | bazhang I've got compiz rolling as well, screen flicker issue is driving me nutz though :( | 09:56 |
| rohan | charlie: and after that, paste "cat /etc/fstab" too | 09:56 |
| patifa | xfce is really slim in terms of resource usage, really slim | 09:56 |
| bazhang | stonekeeper, not I :) | 09:56 |

| stonekeeper | bazhang: ok. thanks for your time pal :) | 09:57 |
| agro1986 | rohan: thanks | 09:57 |
| zvacet | finek : after you select gdm it should ask is it for this session only or default (something like that) | 09:57 |
| styles_ | Is there a kubuntu irc channel too? | 09:57 |
| styles_ | or is it just here | 09:57 |

| patifa | most of the hardy failures I've seen in the bug report are from either the livecd or from starting ubuntu after wubi. Basically, I've yet to see anyone file a bug report where they got the livecd to install hardy, then subsequently fail with BusyBox. | 10:07 |

| starcannon | Xcell i mean I don't understand what you mean by caps | 10:10 |
| ikonia | patifa: the module isn't compiled | 10:10 |
| Xcell | starcannon: via is still proprietary for opensourse | 10:10 |

| charlie_ | rohan: its long, is there one part i should be checking in particular? | 10:12 |
| finek | zvacet, ok | 10:12 |
| ikonia | krazty: what ? you need to open/edit /etc/apt/sources.list, look for entries that are the same and remove them, then do "sudo apt-get update" | 10:12 |
| starcannon | Xcell yeah I normally stay away from VIA, i messed up and bought the cloudbook because it shipped with Linux as an OEM install, I got pwnd by Everex on that deal | 10:12 |

| rohan | charlie_: be sure to save the file, close gedit, and then "update-grub" and then "grub-install" | 10:14 |
| kil20 | point 2 point connection is failed | 10:14 |
| starcannon | Xcell yeah I tried that, I even hard set it to 60 once, I also tried driconf but not sure if I'm using that tool correctly | 10:15 |

| rohan | charlie_: oh well, in the terminal, type "wget http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10473/plain/ -O /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 10:29 |
| smmagic | SitUbuntuSit, That doesn't work in hardy | 10:29 |
| smmagic | it got removed | 10:30 |
| Xcell | starcannon: how bad is this blanking? | 10:30 |
| rohan | charlie_: we'll try one last time, after which you should reinstall, because you messed around with partitions too much :) | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Bidget: hopefuly, that is not the driver left over from the nbidia-install you tried earlier | 10:30 |
| smmagic | I ended up removing removing rhythmbox | 10:30 |
| Bidget | hopefully... | 10:30 |
| Bidget | lol | 10:30 |
| rohan | charlie_: did that wget command work? now type "update-grub" and "grub-install /dev/sda" | 10:30 |
| rohan | MonKey1: was your problem solved? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Bidget: can you do a "modinfo nvidia" please | 10:30 |
| starcannon | Xcell yeah, I new better when I bought it, I just thought "it has Linux already on it, it must be gtg", I hope the founder of Everex gets some bad take out food, and sits on the pot for 3 days working it out lol | 10:30 |
| Bidget | whats the pastebin link? | 10:31 |
| Xcell | lol | 10:31 |
| Bidget | !pastebin | 10:31 |
| ubottu | 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) | 10:31 |
| ikonia | !paste | Bidget | 10:31 |
| ubottu | Bidget: please see above | 10:31 |
| starcannon | Xcell its not bad, its kinda strobing, flickering | 10:31 |
| charlie_ | rohan: same thing! :( | 10:31 |
| babolat | rohan: charlie_: ever considered that hd(0,5) has a bad install? | 10:31 |
| Xcell | starcannon: only cuz of the lcd tho | 10:31 |
| starcannon | Xcell it blinks and has a purplish hue that invades dark colors | 10:31 |
| Bidget | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10481/ | 10:31 |
| rohan | babolat: yes, that's why i set the kernel root to /dev/sda5 and groot to hd(0,4) which still isnt working | 10:32 |
| Xcell | I wish i could help | 10:32 |
| ikonia | got it | 10:32 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, still there... in gconf-editor, you go to gnome, volume manager, there is an option for autorun ipod that you can change | 10:32 |
| starcannon | Xcell yeah its something to do with the LCD, if I take screencaps and view them on another computer you wouldn't know anything was wrong by looking at the caps | 10:32 |
| charlie_ | rohan: i had 1gb for swap, about 60-something for windows and about 8 for ubuntu, i thought it was all taken up | 10:32 |
| smmagic | wow. Thanks so much SitUbuntuSit =_= | 10:32 |
| Xcell | hey starcannon what about lowering your colors | 10:32 |
| smmagic | Now I have to reinstall rhythbox -_- | 10:32 |
| babolat | rohan: oh.. just saw that in ur paste.. | 10:32 |
| rohan | babolat: after setting the groot and root line in kopt, it should automatically set the hd(x,x) properly | 10:32 |
| starcannon | Xcell I dropped them to 16bit already | 10:32 |
| Xcell | wow | 10:32 |
| Bidget | ikonia, any of that stuff make sense? | 10:33 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, np. I never knew it was there. here is the link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291584 | 10:33 |
| smmagic | Thanks again, =_= | 10:33 |
| starcannon | Xcell just for grins and giggles I'm gonna drop them to 8 and see what happens | 10:33 |
| charlie_ | babolat: rohan: i had 1gb for swap, about 60-something for windows and about 8 for ubuntu, i thought it was all taken up | 10:33 |
| babolat | charlie_: did u ever notice any errors while installng Ubuntu on hd(0,5)? | 10:33 |
| Xcell | ok | 10:33 |
| charlie_ | dont think so | 10:33 |
| smmagic | wonder if there is a autopsp aswell | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Bidget: one moment | 10:33 |
| Bidget | ikonia, no problem | 10:33 |
| charlie_ | i did a bit of resizing and shifting partitions though | 10:33 |
| starcannon | Xcell though I wont live with it like that lol, that'd be uglier than my neighbors wife | 10:33 |
| Xcell | hahahahaha | 10:34 |
| rohan | charlie_: forget it :) | 10:34 |
| rohan | charlie_: now do one thing | 10:34 |
| kingwords | what are u talking about | 10:34 |
| rohan | charlie_: for the last time, paste your "fdisk -l", after opening a COMPLETELY new terminal | 10:34 |
| Xcell | starcannon: what about azumith | 10:34 |
| rohan | charlie_: i'll tell you some changes you need to make before you can just reinstall | 10:34 |
| starcannon | Xcell azumith? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Bidget: cd /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/video/ please | 10:35 |
| charlie_ | rohan: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10484 | 10:35 |
| smmagic | Why didn't it work o_O | 10:35 |
| Bidget | ikonia, done | 10:35 |
| Xcell | vertical and horizontal corrections | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Bidget: ok "sudo insmod nvidia.ko" | 10:36 |
| rohan | charlie_: ok, now type "sudo umount /mnt/sda5/dev" | 10:36 |
| rohan | charlie_: then "sudo umount /mnt/sda5" | 10:36 |
| starcannon | Xcell cool i'm gonna google that | 10:36 |
| rohan | charlie_: then "sudo rmdir /mnt/sda5" | 10:36 |
| Bidget | ikonia, no output, that ok? | 10:36 |
| Xcell | ok | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Bidget: "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" | 10:36 |
| Xcell | I am a X tv repair man | 10:36 |
| rohan | charlie_: any errors? | 10:36 |
| starcannon | Xcell I assume there is an Option "Azumith" [some junk here] setting? | 10:36 |
| charlie_ | device is busy | 10:36 |
| Xcell | aybe | 10:36 |
| Bidget | ikonia, nvidia 8858308 0 | 10:36 |
| Bidget | i2c_core 28544 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2 | 10:36 |
| charlie_ | for sda4 umount | 10:36 |
| Xcell | m | 10:36 |
| rohan | charlie_: did you close all the terminals? | 10:36 |
| rohan | charlie_: not sda4, "sudo umount /mnt/sda5" | 10:37 |
| rohan | charlie_: close all the terminals which were open | 10:37 |
| smmagic | SitUbuntuSit, Just won't work | 10:37 |
| smmagic | Oh well | 10:37 |
| rohan | charlie_: close any gedit's which were open, too | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Bidget: thats more like it !!! | 10:37 |
| starcannon | Xcell ugh 8bit color is nasty lol | 10:37 |
| Bidget | :D | 10:37 |
| Bidget | lol | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Bidget: thats quite worrying though | 10:37 |
| SitUbuntuSit | hmm... you set it to 1? | 10:37 |
| Bidget | oh | 10:37 |
| Xcell | put it back then | 10:37 |
| Bidget | ikonia, why's that? | 10:37 |
| charlie_ | i meant sda5 sorry, rohan, all closed same thing now | 10:37 |
| rohan | charlie_: then type "sudo umount /mnt/sda5" | 10:37 |
| rohan | charlie_: did "sudo umount /mnt/sda5/dev" work? | 10:37 |
| Xcell | I must say, its an issue with your hrz corrections speed | 10:38 |
| starcannon | Xcell I will, I just thought I'd mess with ;) | 10:38 |
| charlie_ | rohan, no, "device is busy" | 10:38 |
| samba_ | I folks, when I use firefox 3 beta 5, I wait several time to close a TAB. I think maybe is a bug of xulrunner, but I don't know. I'm only or happens to somone else ? | 10:38 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, you set the value to 1 in gconf-editor? Apart from that, I'm not sure. | 10:38 |
| rohan | charlie_: type exit at the previous open terminal | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Bidget: well, if you specify the module you can force it to load (great !!) but when you probe it, it fails, with means it may not be looking at the rigth version | 10:38 |
| nikolaj | rohan, do you know how I can find out what my IP is In a terminal? | 10:38 |
| Bidget | hmm | 10:38 |
| smmagic | 1? I set it to false | 10:38 |
| Bidget | ikonia, I see | 10:38 |
| charlie_ | rohan: device is busy | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Bidget: please "sudo find / -name nvidia.ko -print 2>/dev/null" | 10:38 |
| rohan | charlie_: did you just close the terminal, or did you logout properly? i.e. typed "exit" | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Bidget: that will take some time | 10:38 |
| Bidget | ikonia, k | 10:39 |
| Xcell | starcannon: some where, (bios?) there is a hrz corrections speed correction | 10:39 |
| babolat | samba_: pretty common, among other ff3 beta5 issues | 10:39 |
| rohan | nikolaj: nope, sorry.. i know you can find it on whatismyip.com | 10:39 |
| charlie_ | rohan: just closed it, how do i rectify? | 10:39 |
| smmagic | hm | 10:39 |
| starcannon | Xcell oh I see, yeah not on this pos its an Everex. | 10:39 |
| SitUbuntuSit | It is a 0 or 1 one my computer. | 10:39 |
| nikolaj | do someone know how I can find out what my IP is In a terminal? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Bidget: sorry this is taking it a long way around, but I need to understand your system's current status and issues | 10:39 |
| smmagic | SitUbuntuSit, I got an idea, with the autoipod_command, I removed the word rhythmbox from it | 10:39 |
| Bidget | ikonia, thats ok | 10:39 |
| rohan | charlie_: type "lsof /mnt/sda5" | 10:39 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, ok | 10:39 |
| smmagic | So if i put floola in | 10:39 |
| Hamid11771 | hi all. i want to have a linux that ONLY have commandline. what should i do ? | 10:40 |
| smmagic | It should open floola right? | 10:40 |
| rohan | charlie_: what does it show? | 10:40 |
| Bidget | ikonia, man and tot hink all I wanted to do was install my drivers and update wine so I could play eve | 10:40 |
| Bidget | ikonia, that was at like 11:30 and its 2:40am now | 10:40 |
| samba_ | babolat: and so ? What can I do to make ff faster ? | 10:40 |
| Xcell | starcannon: maybe allocate more video ram?, or speed up agp speed, it all depends on what your bios allocates | 10:40 |
| smmagic | bah, complete crap. Won't work | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Bidget: with respect, it's not a hard task, you just used a terrible guide | 10:40 |
| babolat | Hamid11771: u're probably looking for a diff distro | 10:40 |
| Bidget | yeah | 10:40 |
| rohan | charlie_: well, forget it - as it is you're going to reinstall, so just reboot and then reinstall. all i was trying to do is avoid that reboot, but please reboot nevertheless | 10:40 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, did you uncheck it | 10:40 |
| Hamid11771 | babolat: what is that ? | 10:40 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, that should have disabled it altogether | 10:40 |
| MonKey1 | i wanna re install ubuntu using wubi... this time i need someoene's help... anypne? | 10:40 |
| smmagic | Indeed I did | 10:40 |
| nikolaj | Hamid11771, if you use debian you can chouse it | 10:40 |
| MonKey1 | i wanna re install ubuntu using wubi... this time i need someoene's help... anyone? | 10:40 |
| rohan | charlie_: don't start a new install without first rebooting, even if you then again boot into the livecd | 10:41 |
| charlie_ | WARNING: can't stat() tmpfs file system /cow Output information may be incomplete | 10:41 |
| Bidget | its kinda crazy that changing 1 thing could have screwed it up so bad | 10:41 |
| babolat | samba_: either to *not* open too many tabs, install firefox2 or install flashblock if u think flash-heavy sites cause ur system to misbehave | 10:41 |
| rohan | charlie_: but, before rebooting, what i suggest it | 10:41 |
| Bidget | !paste | 10:41 |
| smmagic | What if I just delete auto_ipod command | 10:41 |
| ubottu | 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) | 10:41 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, i guess removing rhythmbox is a good solution. did it work? | 10:41 |
| babolat | Hamid11771: oranges to apples.. linux.org i think has listings | 10:41 |
| rohan | charlie_: after you reboot, first use gparted to completely COMPLETELY wipe out our extended partition | 10:41 |
| smmagic | This is just lame | 10:41 |
| starcannon | Xcell it already has 64mb, bios doesn't allow for adjustment, there may be a way to do it from inside gnome, but the drivers only require 64mb anyway so not sure if it'd be worth the trouble | 10:41 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, I don't know. | 10:41 |
| charlie_ | rohan: can i keep my windows intact? thats all im concerned with really | 10:41 |
| rohan | charlie_: leave FREE SPACE there in place of the extended partition | 10:41 |
| Bidget | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10485/ | 10:42 |
| rohan | charlie_: yes, don't touch /dev/sda1, just use gparted to wipe out the "extended" partition | 10:42 |
| rohan | charlie_: see if you can do it right now | 10:42 |
| Xcell | starcannon: interesting, maybe look for bios updates? | 10:42 |
| nikolaj | How can I find my IP en a terminal? | 10:42 |
| smmagic | oh for gods sake, do I have to save it in some special way | 10:42 |
| Hamid11771 | babolat: another question : if i install that kind of linux , can i use the repositories of ubuntu ? | 10:42 |
| charlie_ | rohan: all remaining parts delete? | 10:42 |
| starcannon | Xcell yeah, I guess I could try to hack a nanobook bios onto it | 10:42 |
| samba_ | babolat: I haven't much TABs , only 2 and when i close a TAB seems like ff wait 5,6 second maybe to save the whole page in cache ... | 10:42 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, go to prompts and disable the ipod photos... maybe that will start it up too | 10:42 |
| smmagic | nikolaj, ifconfig | 10:42 |
| Xcell | ya | 10:42 |
| rohan | charlie_: yea, except the first leftmost partition in gparted, delete all others | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Bidget: and there we have it | 10:42 |
| === Bambang_Triatmoj is now known as cow____ganteng | ||
| nikolaj | smmagic, Thanks | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Bidget: 3 versions of the drivers | 10:42 |
| Bidget | ... | 10:43 |
| rohan | charlie_: can you do it right now? | 10:43 |
| charlie_ | rohan: trying | 10:43 |
| samba_ | babolat: Also without flash page | 10:43 |
| Xcell | starcannon: its in the vga clocking | 10:43 |
| sili | hi. can someone help me find a package or repo that has apache 2.0.x and its dependencies? I can't seem to do it | 10:43 |
| smmagic | Its set to 0, so I set it to 1? SitUbuntuSit | 10:43 |
| babolat | Hamid11771: that site should have it listed there, though i'm not very sure of such a capability in other distros.. u'll have to look it up urself. sorry | 10:43 |
| Bidget | ikonia, but which is the one that we want, and how to get rid of the other 2? | 10:43 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, perhaps try that | 10:43 |
| Laurenceb | hi, should I upgrade to 8.04 ? | 10:43 |
| starcannon | Xcell that should be settable using a modeline or something in xorg.conf to yeah? | 10:43 |
| babolat | samba_: do u happen to have compiz enabled and working for you? | 10:43 |
| Laurenceb | I'm running 7.10 | 10:43 |
| Hamid11771 | babolat: thank you veru very much. have a good day | 10:43 |
| ikonia | Bidget: getting rid = easy, just remove the module, however working out which one we need is a different ting | 10:43 |
| Bidget | hmm | 10:44 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I've not got an nvidia box to hand to test, so let me see if I can find someone | 10:44 |
| Bidget | well couldnt we just remove them all | 10:44 |
| Xcell | starcannon: depends on how it was read from the setuo = bios | 10:44 |
| Bidget | and then install the one that we need | 10:44 |
| babolat | Hamid11771: np.. come back for ubuntu support ;) | 10:44 |
| ikonia | Bidget: seems a bit overkill, but yes potentially | 10:44 |
| lbolognesi | # | 10:44 |
| Xcell | setup | 10:44 |
| samba_ | babolat: yes, maybe is this | 10:44 |
| Bidget | hmm | 10:44 |
| SitUbuntuSit | smmagic, with the value unchecked, perhaps reboot, or at least log out and back in | 10:44 |
| smmagic | oh ffs | 10:44 |
| lbolognesi | ! | 10:44 |
| starcannon | Xcell its coming up blank | 10:44 |
| Xcell | ya figures | 10:44 |
| smmagic | mk, log in and out | 10:44 |
| Pixeltime | I got Nvida, but I am clueless too, but mine works ;) | 10:44 |
| charlie_ | rohan: um., its come up with whole hdd unallocated | 10:45 |
| Xcell | google the bios and chipset for clocking features | 10:45 |
| Bidget | ikonia, well the 2.6.22-14 one probably isnt it cause thats for the old kernel I had when I was using 7.10 right | 10:45 |
| * sCOTTo is having SERIOUS sound probs | 10:45 | |
| babolat | samba_: this issue has quite a number of bugs filed already.. now, try disabling compiz and restart X when ur logged off | 10:45 |
| NeT_DeMoN | cpk1, it didnt work | 10:45 |
| babolat | !nvidia | Pixeltime | 10:45 |
| rohan | charlie_: WHAT? | 10:45 |
| ubottu | Pixeltime: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:45 |
| Xcell | and back track | 10:45 |
| ikonia | Bidget: yes, thats a reasonable guess | 10:45 |
| samba_ | babolat: ok, i will try , thanks :) | 10:45 |
| DJones | ikonia: I've got nvidia, but its an old card using nvidia-glx (not the nvidia-glx-new) | 10:45 |
| rohan | charlie_: that's impossible. paste your "sudo fdisk -l" | 10:45 |
| Bidget | ikonia, I really dont know about the other 2 though | 10:45 |
| sCOTTo | !Dell | 10:45 |

| sCOTTo | hehe | 10:46 |
| Laurenceb | hi, should I upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 ? | 10:46 |
| Laurenceb | is it better to wait? | 10:46 |
| rohan | Laurenceb: yes, why not? :) | 10:46 |
| babolat | !language | scotto | 10:46 |
| ubottu | scotto: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:46 |

| Stormcr0w | Hello all! Just installed 8.04 and Advanced Desktop Effects (Compiz, I think). Does anyone know how I can also get a Mac OS-like dock? | 10:46 |
| starcannon | Xcell thats not a bad idea, windows would likely have some good info on that actually, and come to think of it.... I have the inf files for the XP screen reso stuff here, I feel a bit tarded all of a sudden | 10:46 |
| sCOTTo | babolat: what language? | 10:46 |
| Xcell | ya | 10:46 |
| babolat | Laurenceb: what do u mean wait? | 10:46 |
| Stormcr0w | Is it part of the settings or a separate piece of software? | 10:46 |
| Bidget | ikonia, alright | 10:46 |
| sCOTTo | babolat: you cann damit bad language? | 10:46 |
| Laurenceb | might there be compatability issues ect? | 10:47 |
| Bidget | Stormcr0w, I use avant window navigator its pretty cool | 10:47 |
| smmagic | SitUbuntuSit, Gonna restart X | 10:47 |
| babolat | scotto: from where i am YES | 10:47 |

| dbm | Hello can any1 tell me where to find tut how to make connection for ubuntu 8.04 (ADSL Connection) Thx | 10:47 |
| Stormcr0w | Bidget: Do I need to download and install from Synaptic? | 10:47 |
| babolat | Laurenceb: sure there are.. but the good way outweigh the bad from my experience | 10:47 |
| mohamed_ | after update kernel 2.6.24-17-generic installed, then virtualbox stop working , VBOX kernel modules not exist should i back to the previous kernel ? | 10:47 |
| pambuk | anyone tried 8.04 with ati hd2600? my live cd's desktop flickers badly... | 10:47 |
| Bidget | Stormcr0w, yeah search for avant-window-navigator | 10:47 |
| Laurenceb | whats new in 8.04 then? | 10:47 |
| rohan | charlie_: ok, it's fine. just reboot, use gparted, clear out all but the leftmost partition | 10:48 |
| rohan | charlie_: leave it as free space, unallocated | 10:48 |
| Stormcr0w | Bidget: Does it autostart with my session, or do I need to manually configure it to do so? | 10:48 |
| Tyczek | pambuk, works fine | 10:48 |
| sCOTTo | babolat: wheres that ? | 10:48 |
| rohan | charlie_: then start the installer | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Bidget: looks like the volatile is the "one" we want | 10:48 |
| sCOTTo | babolat: in australia its just slang | 10:48 |
| Bidget | Stormcr0w, you have to manually do it... I can't remember exactly what I did though | 10:48 |
| rohan | charlie_: in the installer, choose the option "Use largest free space on my hard drive" when you come to the partitioning step | 10:48 |
| charlie_ | rohan: ok, will do, but after dinner. thank you so much for all your help! | 10:48 |
| rohan | charlie_: got it | 10:48 |
| charlie_ | rohan | 10:48 |
| rohan | charlie_: no problem ;) | 10:48 |
| charlie_ | ok | 10:48 |

| Stormcr0w | Bidget: There's nobody there at the moment. But many thanks! | 10:57 |
| Bidget | Stormcr0w, Im sure you can do a lot of other cool stuff though but I havent looked into it much | 10:57 |

| sCOTTo | hehe | 11:02 |

| ActionParsnip | !hi | Sam_GR | 11:03 |
| ubottu | Sam_GR: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 11:03 |
| Xcell | where smmagic | 11:03 |
| Stormcr0w | Hello all. I have an internal SATA disk that does not auto-mount at startup... I can find it under "My Computer", but all shortcuts to it are inactive until I actually click on it to display its contents the first time. How can I make it automount at startup? | 11:03 |
| sCOTTo | nope | 11:03 |
| Sam_GR | may I ask something? | 11:03 |
| Xcell | !ask | 11:03 |
| 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. :-) | 11:03 |
| jatt | no | 11:03 |
| smmagic | sCOTTo, Hm, have you tried sudo apt-get remove guile1.8 | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: you'll need to add it to /etc/fstab | 11:03 |
| kil20 | Hi Actionparsnip | 11:03 |
| sCOTTo | hehehe ill try | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | Stormcr0w | 11:03 |
| ubottu | Stormcr0w: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 11:03 |
| smmagic | then reinstalling it sCOTTo ? | 11:03 |
| Stormcr0w | !fstab | 11:03 |
| Sam_GR | can i find automatix for ubuntu 8.04 ? | 11:03 |

| ikonia | Sam_GR: automatix has stopped | 11:04 |
| Xcell | wurk? | 11:04 |
| Sam_GR | :o | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Sam_GR: it's no longer developed | 11:04 |
| Sam_GR | and now? | 11:04 |
| neXyon | ActionParsnip: the problem is I have to find out which cards are USB :-) | 11:04 |
| jatt | !automatix | 11:04 |
| ubottu | Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Bidget: current stauts ? | 11:04 |
| kil20 | Any one there | 11:04 |
| ikonia | stauts | 11:04 |
| Xcell | do NOT use automatix | 11:04 |
| Bidget | whats automatix? | 11:04 |
| Bidget | ikonia, same as before as far as I know | 11:04 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll look at it now | 11:04 |
| jatt | automatix = evil | 11:04 |
| ikonia | kil20 many people as you can see | 11:04 |
| kil20 | Selecting previously deselected package skype. ( I don't want to use this I want fresh installation can u help me) | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: before you play, backup the fstab file | 11:04 |
| kil20 | Ikonia | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Bidget: ok, lets do the basics "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" | 11:05 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Sure will do! Thanks, | 11:05 |
| kil20 | can help to resolve this | 11:05 |
| elkbuntu | jatt, not quite evil, but quite dangerous nonetheless | 11:05 |
| jatt | indeed | 11:05 |
| Bidget | ikonia, nothing | 11:05 |
| ikonia | kil20: peoplease are busy as you can see. They will respond then they get chance | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Bidget: darn it | 11:05 |
| kil20 | ok | 11:05 |
| ochosi | hi, i have a problem with my ipw3945 wireless card suddenly not being detected anymore (says there is no device eth1) | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: then you can easiy restore (use sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Bidget: "sudo modprobe nvidia" | 11:05 |
| sCOTTo | smmagic: yeah didnt work | 11:05 |
| Bidget | FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory | 11:05 |
| smmagic | I thought so =\ | 11:05 |
| smmagic | Something is messed up | 11:05 |
| Xcell | xplain smmagic | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Bidget: is the volatile one back ? | 11:06 |
| Bidget | ummm | 11:06 |
| sCOTTo | smmagic: ur telliing me | 11:06 |
| Bidget | how do I find that one out again | 11:06 |
| sCOTTo | 2 days i been working on this | 11:06 |
| smmagic | Xcell, What? | 11:06 |
| Xcell | smmagic: Something is messed up | 11:06 |
| ere4si | kil20: that just means it wasn't select during the install | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Bidget: "ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko" | 11:07 |
| kil20 | Yup | 11:07 |
| kil20 | But I want to install older version | 11:07 |
| kil20 | If I want to delete from database then what should i do | 11:07 |
| ikonia | kil20: what ? who are you talking to ? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | !who | kil20 | 11:07 |
| ubottu | kil20: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 11:08 |
| Bidget | ikonia, /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko | 11:08 |
| kil20 | and can install deb. from terminal completely | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Bidget: ok, so it does what that module, the script/turorial you used must have depmodded it | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Bidget: one moment I'll see if I can work this out | 11:08 |
| Bidget | k | 11:08 |
| kil20 | ikonia! | 11:08 |
| ikonia | kil20: what ? | 11:09 |
| * sCOTTo is feeling like giving up | 11:09 | |
| cpk1 | kil20: "sudo aptitude purge skype" will completely remove it, then use dpkg to install what ever .deb you have | 11:09 |
| Xcell | ikonia: is working, be patient | 11:09 |
| kil20 | ikonia | 11:09 |
| kil20 | ikonia! thanks | 11:09 |
| Bidget | sCOTTo, don't give up, I've been trying to get my nvidia drivers installed for like 3 hours and 10 minutes now | 11:09 |
| ikonia | kil20: what ? stop just syaing my name | 11:09 |
| sCOTTo | smmagic: is there a way to just uninstall EVERYTHING to do with sound? | 11:09 |
| ere4si | kil20: then sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb | 11:09 |
| gordonjcp | how do I disable the excessive security warnings in FF3? | 11:09 |
| sCOTTo | Bidget: ive been at this almost two days now... | 11:09 |
| Bidget | sCOTTo, oh | 11:09 |
| smmagic | sCOTTo, Not that I know of. Keep in mind I know very little | 11:09 |
| Bidget | sCOTTo, maybe it's time ot give up then | 11:10 |
| Ububegin | what is command to find my ipaddress. I tried ifconfig, but cant see my ip... :S | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | I don't actually care about certificates | 11:10 |
| Bidget | sCOTTo, lol :D | 11:10 |
| * sCOTTo punches himself in the face | 11:10 | |
| Bidget | lol | 11:10 |
| sCOTTo | ADHD... | 11:10 |
| * smmagic gives sCOTTo a bandaid and a sandwich | 11:10 | |
| Xcell | silly | 11:10 |
| ere4si | Ububegin: it shows under etho | 11:10 |
| * sCOTTo needs STRONG coffee | 11:10 | |
| cpk1 | kil20: if you want to use an older version than what is in the apt repo you might want to hold the version you are using "sudo aptitude hold nameofpackage" | 11:10 |
| ere4si | Ububegin: in ifconfig | 11:10 |
| * ActionParsnip passes sCOTTo a cookie | 11:10 | |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: what's the problem with your sound? | 11:11 |
| px | ifconfig eth0 | 11:11 |
| * sCOTTo wnats a TimTam | 11:11 | |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: it doesnt work :P | 11:11 |
| sCOTTo | thats my problem | 11:11 |
| Ububegin | ere4si : this one... inet addr:XXXXXXXXXX | 11:11 |
| Bidget | are your speakers plugged in | 11:11 |
| ikonia | Bidget: I'll be with you shortly..... | 11:11 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: ive gone through the help page on ubuntu twice now | 11:11 |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: define "doesn't work" | 11:11 |
| Bidget | ikonia, :D | 11:11 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: it WONT install.... | 11:11 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: i gotta go make a coffee... can you wait for me? | 11:12 |
| kil20 | ikonia! still reading package from database | 11:12 |
| martyn | hi there | 11:12 |
| ere4si | Ububegin: it isn't set up then - use the network anager under system - admin | 11:12 |
| * sCOTTo is going NUTZ from lack of sleep and missing his wife.... | 11:12 | |
| ikonia | kil20: why do you keep saying my name ? | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: yeah, sure, I'm idling at work while I wait for vmware to unbreak | 11:12 |
| sCOTTo | thanks | 11:12 |
| sCOTTo | brb | 11:12 |
| Bidget | ikonia, he likes you ;) | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sCOTTo: knock back some brandys and go to bed | 11:12 |
| martyn | This is a bit of a wierd one, is Ubuntu capable of imaging multiple machines with a disc image over a network? | 11:12 |
| Xcell | mmmmmmbrandy | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | martyn: yeah, kind of | 11:13 |
| kil20 | U have told the use the name before | 11:13 |
| cpk1 | martyn: you want to install the same thing on multiple machines? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | kil20: ok, but why do you keep telling me about your problem | 11:13 |
| Cheesypieces | hi guys, how can i change the fonts for shortcuts on the desktop? | 11:13 |
| Bidget | lol | 11:13 |
| martyn | yeah, its oddly enough for vista laptops :P | 11:13 |
| gordonjcp | martyn: what are you trying to do? | 11:13 |
| martyn | basically I need to image a lot of laptops | 11:13 |
| Xcell | kil20: is on walmart brandy? | 11:13 |
| cpk1 | martyn: technically you can autoinstall the whole thing over the net | 11:13 |
| martyn | and i would like to be able to do it remotley... and for free :) | 11:13 |
| DefineByte | For some reason I can't run my CRT at 1280x960 at 85Hz (only 60Hz). xrandr only shows 60Hz at that resolution but I know it's supported. I've tried a custom modeline in xorg.conf but it doesn't help. I manually added horizontal and vertical refresh rates but still no joy. I'm pretty sure my VGA cable doesn't support DDC, which might be causing the problem. Any ideas? :) | 11:14 |
| gordonjcp | Cheesypieces: System->Prefs->Appearance->Fonts | 11:14 |
| === Weasel[DK]-work is now known as Weasel[DK] | ||
| === zump is now known as vanush | ||
| Bidget | 1280x960...? | 11:14 |
| gordonjcp | DefineByte: what card, and what driver? | 11:14 |
| martyn | so im hoping to be able to image the laptops from a disc image using an ubuntu server | 11:14 |
| Xcell | DefineByte: got nvidia settings? | 11:14 |
| Flynsarmy | When i start hardy up, the login screen has the right background. once i log in, the background turns to black, the otp and bottom panels appear then my background loads. Sometimes the bg doesn't load. Any ideas? | 11:14 |
| Flynsarmy | Restarting X fixes it. I'm just wondering if it's a common problem | 11:14 |
| cpk1 | martyn: oh I see, you want to image them all with vista... | 11:14 |
| martyn | yeah, sorry :) | 11:14 |
| martyn | i would prefer ubuntu :P | 11:15 |
| martyn | I dont get to choose though | 11:15 |
| boris | how do i chage my default gdm ? | 11:15 |
| Bidget | martyn, technically that wouldn't really be free though seeing as you'd need licenses for them all right | 11:15 |
| Cheesypieces | gordonjcp: do you know how i can change the colour of the text? | 11:15 |
| boris | i mean, how do i change my default login manager | 11:15 |
| DefineByte | It's an ATI card. fglrx is installed but fglrxinfo is showing mesa so that could be te problem. | 11:15 |
| Flynsarmy | I also can't right click on my desktop and no icons have loaded | 11:15 |
| cpk1 | martyn: then I have no idea, never looked into that. but if you ever get the option for ubuntu remember that technically you can autoinstall not only from a disk but also over the net | 11:15 |

| gordonjcp | Cheesypieces: sorry, no | 11:16 |
| martyn | i know :) believe me ubuntu would be my first choice | 11:16 |
| martyn | i dont even dual boot anymore | 11:16 |
| Bidget | I do but only so I can play starcraft | 11:16 |
| boris | how do i change my default login manager | 11:16 |
| DefineByte | I've also tried installing the drivers with envy but still doesn't work. Needless to say, 7.10 was woring fine. x) | 11:16 |
| martyn | i was hoping to use an ubuntu server to just whack the images straight onto the laptops. save me doing it manually with discs | 11:17 |
| gordonjcp | I dual-boot because I need to support things in dapper as well as hardy | 11:17 |
| Xcell | DefineByte: maybe envying?...it works well as long as you clean installed and did not upgrade | 11:17 |
| kate_mins | Hello, I need some advise/help, does someone know software that can convert html to xml ? | 11:17 |
| martyn | or paying 6 quid a machine for somthing like acronis | 11:17 |
| cpk1 | Bidget: if you only play starcraft you might as well use wine | 11:17 |
| oddalot | can someone tell me how to fix this, it says in the guide: # | 11:17 |
| oddalot | * | 11:17 |
| oddalot | (Note: in order to see www-data you may need to modify root's /apps/gnome-system-tools/users/showall GConf setting; see GConfEditor) <--what does this mean? | 11:17 |
| Bidget | cpk1, can't get battle.net to work with wine | 11:17 |
| Bidget | cpk1, the game runs fine though | 11:17 |
| jatt | kate_mins: why do you need to convert html to xml? | 11:17 |
| Bidget | cpk1, I still use wine for eve and steam games though | 11:18 |
| cpk1 | Bidget: that's funny, I know battle.net with warcraft3 was messed up but they fixed that a long time ago | 11:18 |
| Bidget | cpk1, yeah I can only get battle.net to work if I run the game in a window but its impossiblet o play in a window | 11:18 |
| jatt | (you can just install windows in a vmware virtual machine and run starcraft inside it without leaving GNU/Linux) | 11:18 |
| Bidget | jatt, I thought that vm's didnt support games? | 11:18 |
| DefineByte | I upgraded from 7.10. Surely it can't be unrecoverable? :) | 11:19 |
| Bidget | jatt, or 3d graphics or anything | 11:19 |
| Moncky | jatt: you probably could but i woudn't | 11:19 |
| Xcell | Bidget: are you trolling?, be honest, i may be wrong in my suspicions, forgive me if i am. | 11:19 |
| alastair_ | Since upgrading to Hardy, when my screens turn themselves off, in fact only the left screen turns off. The other remains on, and the system remains in a limbo that means I have to kill X to get it back. I'm using the fglrx driver and Xinerama | 11:19 |
| jatt | I don't know about that restriction... could be. | 11:19 |
| Bidget | Xcell, why do you ask? cause I say I cant get starcraft to work? | 11:19 |
| alastair_ | Oh, also if I change system > preferences > power and tell it never to turn the screen off, it still turns the screen off | 11:19 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: got my coffee - do you think you might know enough to give me the answers? | 11:20 |
| Bidget | ikonia, any luck figuring that out so far? | 11:20 |
| eigentor | heyho. I installed ubuntu as with vmware on Windows | 11:20 |
| kate_mins | jatt: i would to extract all the text from the html , so i can use some translation system (such as google etc.. ) to translate the text and than rebuild the html with the translated text, do u have some idea how i can extract just the text from the html ? (not tags etc..) | 11:21 |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: well, describe the problem | 11:21 |
| adc | can someone please tell me what the difference to the alternatie cd are? | 11:21 |
| eigentor | But Internet Connection is not easy | 11:21 |
| ikonia | Bidget: getting there, sorry this is not quick | 11:21 |
| Bidget | cool thanks man | 11:21 |
| neXyon | does this soundcard work under ubuntu: http://uk.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=207&product=15912 ? | 11:21 |
| smmagic | adc, alternate CD is text only | 11:21 |
| DefineByte | Is 'screens and graphics' deprecated? When I try importing a Windows .inf file for my monitor I just get stuck in low graphics mode. Worked in 7.10. | 11:21 |
| smmagic | adc, live cd is a gui | 11:21 |
| ere4si | !alternate | adc | 11:21 |
| ubottu | adc: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 11:21 |
| Bidget | also the alternate cd is the only way I could install 7.10 because of my graphics card | 11:21 |
| cpk1 | Bidget: looking at winehq it looks like you might have to run starcraft as root, and also make sure that it is using udp | 11:22 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: my dooesnt load up - when i use the buttons on my notebook for sound they dont work either they just give a grafic that shows it isnt working.... i have followed the prompting of the hewlp pages and that hasent helped much eiterh | 11:22 |
| Bidget | cpkl oh? | 11:22 |
| adc | smmagic: i've difficulties with my old motherboard, do you think the alternate cd might help? | 11:22 |
| elmargol | Hibernation almost works here. It terminates everything and copies the ram to the sawp. The only problem is the laptop (dell inspiron 9400) does not power off. I have to hold the power key in order to do this. Resuming works perfect! Is there a way to fix this? | 11:22 |
| smmagic | It could, very well could | 11:22 |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: I don't know what you mean | 11:22 |
| Bidget | cpk1, I dont see how running it as root would make a difference seeing as how battle.net works in a window but not if the game is fullscreen | 11:22 |
| Bidget | cpk1, kinda strange eh? | 11:22 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: ask me questions and I Will answer - i can give reply with commands you tell me to type... | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: I don't know what the problem is | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | sCOTTo: what's wrong with your sound | 11:23 |
| Bidget | his sound doesnt work | 11:23 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: the sound doesnt work in gnome. | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | ok | 11:23 |
| cpk1 | Bidget: straight from winehq's howto "Also note that StarCraft's network support is only available when it is run as root." | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | as in, you can't hear anything? | 11:23 |
| eigentor | So: where do I find Firewall options or IP blocking in Ubuntu | 11:23 |
| sCOTTo | oh - sorry i thought you had followed the convo | 11:23 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: as in i get errors that there are no drivers loaded etc... skype dies on loading... | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | hrm | 11:24 |
| px | iptables :) for example | 11:24 |
| Bidget | cpk1, well yeah thats fine but when i run the game in a window or fullscreen I run it from the same shortcut, the only difference is the windowed one will connect to battle.net and the fullscreen one wont | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | what kind of sound card do you have? | 11:24 |
| ere4si | eigentor: using the firewall named firestarter? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Bidget: getting there..... | 11:24 |
| Bidget | ikonia, :) | 11:24 |
| eigentor | No, just default install | 11:24 |
| J-Unit | plz sum1 tell me: how can i save a website as a .pdf? | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | eigentor: it's not really something you need to worry about, mostly | 11:25 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: intel | 11:25 |
| eigentor | do I have to call iptables by console? | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | eigentor: what exactly are you doing with your computer? | 11:25 |
| px | sure | 11:25 |
| eigentor | Well, I run it on a virtual machine hosted by windows - no internet connection | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | eigentor: hm, ok | 11:25 |
| Bidget | cpk1, I get an error saying battle.net can't identify the program version or something to that effect, but only in fullscreen | 11:25 |
| Bidget | cpkl, it's weird | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Bidget: can you show me "sudo modprobe -v nvidia" please | 11:25 |
| eigentor | Would be nice to access the internet ;) | 11:25 |
| adc | how can i burn a iso image with ubuntu to a cd? | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | eigentor: I've heard that Windows needs a firewall but I've got no experience of that | 11:25 |
| sCOTTo | gordonjcp: ich7 | 11:26 |
| px | adc, brasero | 11:26 |

| corecode | hello | 11:43 |
| DistroJockey | tehdave: as long as you have Ubuntu that is :) | 11:44 |
| corecode | is there a way to tell dpkg not to run configure/postinst? | 11:44 |
| jyf1987 | adc: try 2 show it | 11:44 |
| tehdave | DistroJockey: I meant for specifically Gnome/Nautilus questions | 11:44 |
| adc | jyf1987: how? there is nothing to show it | 11:44 |
| corecode | i'm updating an image which was created by debootstrap | 11:44 |
| corecode | now it tells me | 11:44 |
| corecode | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 11:44 |
| jyf1987 | sho | 11:44 |
| Xcell | do it | 11:44 |
| corecode | but doing so doesn't work, because all these "restart daemon" don't work | 11:44 |
| Mba7eth | guys i can't find my /etc/init.d/inetd <-------- is this is normal ? | 11:44 |
| jyf1987 | adc: show your problem, | 11:45 |
| acv | what does acpid do? | 11:45 |
| DistroJockey | tehdave: not sure on that. May aswell ask (someone will tell you where to go if it's not the right place to ask ;) | 11:45 |
| adc | jyf1987: what are you talking about? just simply how to show the application brasero in the menu | 11:45 |
| shoonya | hello everyone | 11:46 |

| adc | jyf1987: no problem ;-) | 11:46 |
| shoonya | how to download the source package (.deb) of any software like compiz | 11:46 |
| negge^ | tehdave: use mount --bind | 11:47 |
| Xcell | corecode: u cant apt-get? | 11:47 |
| negge^ | atleast that's how I do it, I guess there are other ways as well | 11:47 |
| jyf1987 | adc: r u using gtalk? | 11:47 |
| adc | jyf1987: no what is gtalk? | 11:47 |
| shoonya | can anyone help me ? | 11:47 |
| jyf1987 | adc: it==google's jabber chat tool | 11:48 |
| tehdave | negge^: would "olddir" be ~/Video or /media/sdc1/Video (or whatever the full path to it is)? | 11:48 |
| adc | jyf1987: no | 11:48 |
| jyf1987 | then msn or icq? | 11:48 |

| mad_max02 | lintel, amarok, banshee, rhythmbox, xmms, ..... | 11:52 |

| Xcell | suxxor: do an update manager, it will prompt you | 11:52 |
| suxxor | ok | 11:53 |
| arjuna | suxxor: it may be buggy one | 11:53 |
| shashi | I am using Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64. I want sudo without password. I have added an entry "<my_login_name> ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL". But still sudo asking for password. Anyone tell me how to solve this ? | 11:53 |

| bazzieb | ese4si: how do i mount a disk if the mount point does not exist? | 11:53 |
| xepra | create a mount point | 11:53 |
| sCOTTo | !GRRRR | 11:53 |
| ubottu | Factoid grrrr not found | 11:53 |
| xepra | mkdir... | 11:53 |
| bazzieb | ah | 11:54 |
| bazzieb | tks | 11:54 |
| sCOTTo | !sound | 11:54 |
| 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 | 11:54 |
| xepra | so like in sudo mkdir /media/whatever | 11:54 |
| ere4sli | bazzieb: sudo mkdir/media/somename | 11:54 |
| xepra | then mount /dev/sdx# /media/whatever | 11:54 |
| Xcell | Folks: all updates, as with all upgrades come with consequential bugs, if in the event your not sure, do a clean install. | 11:54 |
| xepra | anyone played with the new virtualbox? | 11:55 |
| xepra | I was thinking about trying it... | 11:55 |
| tehdave | Personally, I haven't had any issues with 8.04, upgraded Via Synaptic from 7.10 | 11:55 |
| arjuna | shashi : the syntax is ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL | 11:55 |
| xepra | I am curious how the hvm support compares to xen | 11:55 |
| shashi | oK. let me try | 11:56 |
| tehdave | Also... "./" always refers to "current directory", correct? | 11:56 |
| xepra | or just "." | 11:56 |
| tehdave | ah | 11:56 |
| ere4sli | tehdave: yep | 11:56 |
| pajamian | . refers to the current directory, yes. | 11:56 |
| tehdave | sweet | 11:57 |

| MonKey1 | whats the irc client for ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| tehdave | btw,mount --bind was exactly what I was looking for | 11:57 |
| xepra | theres a number of them | 11:57 |
| Xcell | pidgin | 11:57 |
| tehdave | MonKey1: Xchat is the one I'm using | 11:57 |
| hischild | !irc | MonKey1 | 11:57 |
| zaggy-nl|cpts600 | _the_ irc client? | 11:57 |
| ubottu | MonKey1: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 11:57 |
| MonKey1 | ohh | 11:57 |
| pajamian | MonKey1: there's a number of them, the most common is xchat | 11:57 |
| zaggy-nl|cpts600 | xchat2, pidgin, irssi | 11:58 |
| ere4sli | +1 xchat | 11:58 |
| zaggy-nl|cpts600 | konversation | 11:58 |
| hischild | !poll | 11:58 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 11:58 |
| zaggy-nl|cpts600 | I'm a fan of xchat2 myself | 11:58 |
| xepra | MonKey1: for the love try "ubuntu irc" next time | 11:58 |
| xepra | heh | 11:58 |
| xepra | in google that is | 11:58 |
| i4x | anyone knows where do I report a problem about system-config-printer???? Launchpad says: "System Config Printer does not use Launchpad as its bug tracker." | 11:58 |
| Xcell | Mlti client = pidgin | 11:58 |
| shashi | arjuna, still it is asking for passwd. do we need to restart some service ? | 11:58 |
| Jesuit | hello I don't where I should ask this question and It doesn't seem that I can post to ubuntu forms. I have a Acer 5630 that has an internal mic(no Idea of the hardware) does anyone have any ideas where I should start looking on how to get the mic working. couldn't find a form post specific to my laptop. I am running 8.04x64 | 11:58 |
| lukassi | Hi there - I just wanted to check something quickly. Is Firefox 2 still in the Hardy repository? I want to upgrade, but a few sites don't run Java properly with 3.0. I will report this to the Moz team and the sites but in the meantime I need to know I won't be stuck! | 11:59 |
| xepra | Jesuit: does sound work? | 11:59 |
| Jesuit | yes | 11:59 |
| MonKey1 | i need to setup my internet connection or it automatically finds it? | 11:59 |
| hischild | lukassi: there's a firefox-2 package. | 11:59 |
| ere4sli | lukassi: it is firefox-2 now | 11:59 |
| Xcell | it should MonKey1 | 11:59 |
| xepra | Jesuit: that is typically a soundcard thing, since the mic is plugged in to the sound card | 11:59 |
| hischild | MonKey1: depends on your type of connection. Usually it does it by itself. | 11:59 |
| Xcell | MonKey1: is it dls? | 11:59 |
| lukassi | hischild great thanks - so I can upgrade and then downgrade :) | 12:00 |
| xepra | Jesuit: have you tried poking around in the sound config stuff? | 12:00 |
| MonKey1 | no it lan | 12:00 |
| arjuna | shashi: if your user is shashi then ' shashi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' | 12:00 |
| hischild | Jesuit: this is the place. You can try to find what type of soundcard you have and go from there. lspci should be of some info there. | 12:00 |
| Jesuit | ok if its a sound card thing how do i find my sound card and the drivers needed | 12:00 |
| lukassi | ere4sli I'm pretty sure Hardy installs 3 beta 5 | 12:00 |
| hischild | lukassi: you can go to hardy and then install firefox-2 yes. | 12:00 |
| arjuna | hows yours? | 12:00 |
| pajamian | !info firefox-2 | lukassi | 12:00 |
| lukassi | That's what I read! | 12:00 |
| ubottu | lukassi: firefox-2: lightweight web browser based on Mozilla. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 8974 kB, installed size 26044 kB | 12:00 |
| ere4sli | likit does | 12:00 |
| Flynsarmy | Are there any programs that create virtual dvd drives for ubuntu? the equivalent of daemon tools for windows | 12:00 |
| Jesuit | ?lspci | 12:00 |
| xepra | Jesuit: If your sound works then you already have the right drivers, I would just poke around in the settings | 12:00 |
| arjuna | hi guys im getting error in sound recorder on ubuntu 7.10. i cant record thru mic | 12:00 |
| shashi | yes, i have specified exactly , but still sudo asking for passwd | 12:00 |
| hischild | lukassi: it does install FF3 by default. You can however, still install FF2. | 12:01 |
| xepra | Jesuit: in a terminal type lspci | 12:01 |
| MonKey1 | what is tarballs? | 12:01 |
| Xcell | zip | 12:01 |
| xepra | Jesuit: also if you have a built in camera you can try using vlc to open the camera, usually it will automatically open the mic as well | 12:01 |
| MonKey1 | ohh | 12:01 |
| lukassi | That's great - thanks to all of you I will now upgrade - bye | 12:01 |
| xepra | and you can here an echo | 12:01 |
| hischild | MonKey1: a file format which is like a zip file. Usually contains programs or sources. | 12:01 |
| DistroJockey | lukassi: I don't see any reason to run 64bit on your system. Do you have one? | 12:01 |
| xepra | hear* | 12:01 |
| MonKey1 | o how do i use it? | 12:01 |
| Xcell | !tarz | 12:02 |

| negge^ | tehdave: sorry for not answering sooner | 12:03 |
| hischild | tehdave: lspci is a base command, it isn't in a package. | 12:03 |
| mklimaschewski | bye | 12:03 |
| negge^ | tehdave: olddir is the directory you want to appear in newdir | 12:03 |
| Xcell | !envying | 12:03 |
| ubottu | Factoid envying not found | 12:03 |
| ronny | i remember there was a bug about that on launchpad, but no more | 12:04 |
| negge^ | so ~/Video is your newdir | 12:04 |
| Xcell | !envy | 12:04 |
| 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. | 12:04 |
| daurnimator | when I play full screen (3d, open gl using) games, my mouse and keyboard don't work at the same time | 12:04 |

| daurnimator | I think its an ubuntu issue | 12:04 |
| ronny | any ideas? | 12:04 |
| DistroJockey | Qrawl: did you use sudo tasksel ? | 12:04 |

| negge^ | laeg: some programs want complete access to the soundcard and that's why you can't hear multiple things at the same time | 12:05 |
| hischild | laeg: it can play multiple soundstreams. Problem most likely is that programs are using alsa pulseaudio or oss at the same time. | 12:05 |
| Xcell | laeg: thats a common ff bug, stand by for about 30 days, this i usual | 12:05 |
| Xcell | is | 12:05 |
| ronny | anyone? | 12:06 |

| === ere4sli is now known as ere4si | ||
| laeg | Xcell: you mean they'll fix it? | 12:06 |

| Xcell | or adobe gets their but kicked | 12:07 |
| shoonya | can someone help me on this | 12:07 |
| laeg | Xcell: who will create the fix then, vlc or firefox? | 12:07 |
| tehdave | alright...Is there a way, using the command line, to check specific packages? | 12:07 |
| Xcell | prolly both | 12:07 |
| hischild | shoonya: there's a package which can build .deb's from sources. Lost the name of it though. | 12:07 |
| laeg | Xcell: both are bugged at the same time? | 12:07 |
| hischild | tehdave: most likely. aptitude search? or what do you eman? | 12:08 |
| jussi01 | tehdave: check packages for? | 12:08 |
| soo1 | hi folks - whats the difference between Beagle and MetaTracker? Does meattracker index content of pdf files etc, like beagles does? | 12:08 |

| hischild | shoonya: that's the installer for .deb's | 12:08 |

| Xcell | me 2 ere4si | 12:09 |
| Xcell | smmagic: Something is messed upits still beta. | 12:09 |
| ere4si | !tab | tehdave | 12:09 |
| ubottu | tehdave: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 12:09 |
| shoonya | hischild: the documentation talks about building packages using -b option | 12:09 |
| laeg | hischild, ere4si, negge^, Xcell : ty | 12:10 |
| pajamian | that !tab factoid is not entirely accurate | 12:10 |

| Xcell | ok friend | 12:10 |
| hischild | shoonya: I'm not aware of that option. | 12:10 |
| usuario | .. | 12:10 |
| usuario | ... | 12:10 |
| hischild | pajamian: what's not accurate about it? | 12:10 |
| tehdave | ere4si, Yeah...problem is 3 people requestioned me in the span of about 2 seconds -_- | 12:10 |
| ere4si | hehe | 12:10 |
| pajamian | hischild: it depends on (1) which IRC client you're using and (2) which shell you're using. | 12:10 |
| daurnimator | mmm | 12:10 |
| daurnimator | I can't use my keyboard and my mouse at the same time | 12:10 |
| daurnimator | anyone know why that might be? | 12:10 |
| ere4si | tehdave: sux being popular? | 12:10 |
| tehdave | ere4si, something like that | 12:11 |
| hischild | pajamian: if you're using a client or a shell which does not support tab completion, you're most likely already an advanced user or have a failing client IMO. | 12:11 |
| Saint`Diamond | Does xmms2, not have a front end? | 12:11 |
| pajamian | hischild: unless you're connecting from a web page that uses a java IRC client such as PJIRC. | 12:11 |
| ere4si | !xmms2 | Saint`Diamond | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Factoid xmms2 not found | 12:11 |

| ere4si | Saint`Diamond: no it is just a server | 12:12 |
| hischild | pajamian: hmm good point. Didn't think about that one. | 12:12 |
| majikins | hi - I'm trying to get some advise on setting up ubuntu on raid0 disk | 12:12 |
| Xcell | xmms is trash anymore,\ | 12:12 |
| jatt | true | 12:12 |
| majikins | I've been told that this will not work as /root won't boot off this | 12:12 |
| majikins | but there are howto's on how to do this | 12:13 |
| JoeF_ | bartzak: is that just when you press backspace in an empty field? it sounds like the visual version of the system bell - it can be turned off in the preferences somewhere | 12:13 |
| majikins | I'm only doing it because I've read there is a significant performance gain when you set your system up this way | 12:13 |
| xepra | majikins: I believe the alternate install will support this | 12:13 |
| majikins | is this true? | 12:13 |
| pajamian | majikins: IIRC, raid0 is mirrored raid, correct? | 12:14 |
| xepra | majikins: well is it a "hardware" raid or software? | 12:14 |
| xepra | raid0 is striped | 12:14 |
| tehdave | pajamian, Raid0 is striped | 12:14 |
| s_spiff | can someone tell me whats wrong with the ubuntu forums? Everytime I try to log in to my account, I get the "thank you for logging in"..and then get redirected back to the login page! | 12:14 |
| hischild | majikins: i don't have raid setup here, but from what i've read the alternate install CAN do raid. | 12:14 |
| pajamian | xepra: tehdave: oh, ok, so is 1 mirrored? I always forget | 12:14 |
| xepra | I say "hardware" because a lot of them are not true hardware raid | 12:14 |
| tehdave | pajamian, yeah | 12:14 |
| xepra | yes 1 is mirrored | 12:14 |
| xepra | also you can do it from the livecd, but you have to do some apt-gets | 12:15 |
| s_spiff | Anyone having issues with ubuntu forums right now? | 12:15 |
| laeg | xepra: a vlc guy tells me he thinks my video card doesn't support multiple clients or flash uses oss | 12:15 |
| majikins | I will be doing software raid | 12:15 |
| pajamian | xepra: tehdave: oh, ok, cool. I'm not a raid expert, but I do know that pretty much any raid configuration you can imagine will work with Linux in general. | 12:15 |
| ere4si | s_spiff: I know they were doing maintenance earlier | 12:15 |
| Xcell | laeg: what card? | 12:15 |
| tehdave | Actually...on the Raid question...is it possible to set up a JBOD software RAID with Ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| hischild | majikins: get the alternate install then | 12:15 |
| xepra | yes, alternate cd should have support, or you can do an apt-get dm-raid | 12:15 |
| majikins | is the performance gain worth it? | 12:15 |
| xepra | on the livecd | 12:15 |
| laeg | Xcell: idk - he didn't ask | 12:15 |
| xepra | and follow a tutorial | 12:15 |
| DistroJockey | s_spiff: forums fine here atm | 12:15 |
| xepra | although mine is a hardware | 12:16 |
| hischild | have to run folks, good luck out there. | 12:16 |
| xepra | and haven't messed with booting to software | 12:16 |
| majikins | I've got the alternate and someone has also given me the full repository too | 12:16 |
| s_spiff | DistroJockey: ere4si, then is there a possibility of my account being disabled or something? | 12:16 |
| xepra | pajamian: booting from a software raid can be tricky | 12:16 |
| ere4si | s_spiff: what happens/doesn't happen ? | 12:16 |
| Xcell | what card do u have? | 12:16 |
| xepra | ubuntu is supposed to support it though | 12:16 |
| laeg | xepra: how do i check? | 12:17 |
| s_spiff | ere4si: didn't get you.. ? | 12:17 |
| Xcell | lspci | 12:17 |
| DistroJockey | s_spiff: doubt it | 12:17 |
| pajamian | xepra: yes, I believe it, but a HW raid should be straight forward, and I think a sw raid is doable with linux, even though it's tricky. | 12:17 |
| Chrysalis | i cant find my way around the file system, where are programs instaslled? like for example, if i get a prompt to chose an application to launch a specific fily type. . . where to i go? | 12:17 |
| xepra | laeg: what are you talking about? | 12:17 |
| s_spiff | DistroJockey: weird. Who can I contact if this doesn't get resolved? any ideas? | 12:17 |
| ere4si | s_spiff: can you not connect to the forums or not login? | 12:18 |
| tehdave | Chrysalis, It should simply bring up a list of the available aps | 12:18 |
| pajamian | Chrysalis: usually /usr/bin | 12:18 |
| laeg | xepra: not being able to have youtube sound and vlc sound at the same time | 12:18 |
| tehdave | or...what he said | 12:18 |
| laeg | Xcell: libflashsupport fixed it nicely, thanks alot | 12:18 |
| xepra | laeg: weird... | 12:18 |
| s_spiff | ere4si: it even logs in.. i get that msg "thank you for logging in, you shal be redirected..." but then i end up back to the login page! | 12:18 |
| Chrysalis | tehdave: no, just brings up the home folder to to point it to the app form there | 12:18 |
| Xcell | laeg: we and many have that pblm, give it 60 days...k? | 12:18 |
| xepra | are you on 64bit or 32bit? | 12:18 |
| laeg | 32 | 12:18 |
| Chrysalis | pajamian: ill check /usr/bin | 12:19 |
| xepra | on 8.04? | 12:19 |
| laeg | xepra: yes | 12:19 |
| pajamian | Chrysalis: I say usually, there are other locations too. | 12:19 |
| Xcell | ok laeg | 12:19 |
| laeg | Xcell: what will happen in 60 days? | 12:19 |
| jescis | is there a package with listserv for ubuntu? | 12:19 |
| tehdave | Chrysalis, Listen to pajamian...he's probably more right -_- | 12:19 |
| ere4si | s_spiff: I get that from the forums home page - I use a thread to login from and it works | 12:19 |
| Xcell | many fxs | 12:19 |
| pheld | majikins: any raid will do as long as the boot-loader is able to locate the exact sector location of the kernel and its ramfs with driver-modules. It is also an alternative to create a small partition for /boot to hold this information. It won't be used after boot and thus not affect any performance in normal opeation. | 12:19 |
| laeg | Xcell: from ubuntu, videolan, or firefox? | 12:19 |
| xepra | I know they switched sound managers, I haven't had a chance to play with the new one | 12:19 |
| Chrysalis | pajamian: ok, lets say x-chat | 12:19 |
| Xcell | both | 12:19 |
| xepra | but, I doubt it is a hardware problem | 12:19 |
| Chrysalis | pajamian: where do i find it | 12:19 |
| ricanelite | I downloaded a big update just a few minutes ago. Now it prompt me to restart my system. Which I did and now I notice my grub has another selection on what i want to load up. Is it possible to edit the grub | 12:19 |
| laeg | xepra: so you think it's down to the new ubuntu? | 12:19 |
| ricanelite | or will it be best for me to leave it alone? | 12:19 |
| jatt | ricanelite: yes | 12:19 |
| pajamian | Chrysalis: will likely be /usr/bin but there is a terminal command to find it easily: whereis xchat | 12:19 |
| xepra | pheld: thanks for describing that | 12:20 |
| Chrysalis | pajamian: ahh | 12:20 |
| laeg | Xcell even: so you think it's down to the new ubuntu? | 12:20 |
| ricanelite | jatt, I will leave it alone, thanks | 12:20 |
| zaputr | There are no Hardware Manager in 8.04 version | 12:20 |
| zaputr | There are no Hardware Manager in 8.04 version | 12:20 |
| zaputr | where i can find it? | 12:20 |
| Xcell | but: sound.pulse audio will fix some things,not reccomended for inexperienced usere tho | 12:20 |
| Skiessi | !info menu-xdg | 12:20 |
| ubottu | menu-xdg: freedesktop.org menu compliant window manager scripts. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3 (hardy), package size 4 kB, installed size 76 kB | 12:20 |
| s_spiff | ere4si: yup.. just worked :D | 12:20 |
| Xcell | yes | 12:20 |
| ere4si | s_spiff: great | 12:21 |
| laeg | Xcell: will the 60day be better than flashlibsupport? | 12:21 |
| Xcell | these cats know the deal, ittl get fixed and everyone will rejoice | 12:21 |
| xepra | Chrysalis: pajamian: I use the command "which" to find proggies, but their other files can be stored elsewhere, and user specific settings are usually stored in home directories | 12:21 |
| laeg | meow | 12:21 |
| pawan1234 | how to install nvidia drivers thorugh envy | 12:21 |
| s_spiff | ere4si: anyways, I mailed the forum admin about the issue. hopefully they solve it | 12:21 |
| xepra | laeg: you can easily check with a livecd | 12:21 |
| Xcell | stay tuned kitty | 12:21 |
| s_spiff | pawan1234: what system are you on? | 12:21 |
| pajamian | xepra: whereis searches the path, so if you can launch the program by typing it's name whereis is a good utility to find it. | 12:21 |
| pawan1234 | hardy | 12:21 |
| s_spiff | pawan1234: 32bit ? 64 bit? | 12:22 |
| ere4si | s_spiff: tried that and got nowhere myself... | 12:22 |
| pawan1234 | 32 bit | 12:22 |
| laeg | xepra: check what - if it's just the upgrade? i only have a 7.04 live cd | 12:22 |
| DistroJockey | !envy | pawan1234 | 12:22 |
| ubottu | pawan1234: 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. | 12:22 |
| pajamian | xepra: but yes, which will just give one answer. | 12:22 |
| nirupama | How to compile only one source folder that has been changed or edited in kdebase | 12:22 |
| Xcell | hi 1234 | 12:22 |
| nirupama | Is it possible | 12:22 |
| xepra | pajamian: doesn't which do the same? (sorry not on my ubuntu box) | 12:22 |
| Xcell | whats up | 12:22 |
| s_spiff | pawan1234: sudo apt-get install envy ( make sure you have all your repo's tick marked ) | 12:22 |
| fde | s_spiff: envyng | 12:23 |
| Xcell | 12234, did u upgrade or new install? | 12:23 |
| ronny | how can i deal with hd's that take powersaving options wrong ? | 12:23 |
| laeg | s_spiff: is envy anybetter than nivdia-settings and just installing the driver through system > prefs > admin > hardware drvers | 12:23 |
| laeg | ? | 12:23 |
| pajamian | xepra: I'm just not used to which, always used whereis, but looking at it which is probably better for someone who doesn't understand all the extraneous answers that whereis gives you. | 12:23 |
| s_spiff | fde, pawan1234 : envyng.. not envy. thanks fde | 12:23 |
| Chrysalis | xepra: pajamian both commands work (whereis and which), thanks guys | 12:23 |
| Xcell | some times both laeg | 12:23 |
| Xcell | depends on hardware | 12:23 |
| fde | pawan1234: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk | 12:24 |
| s_spiff | laeg: that has never worked for me, so I always had to use envy, even before envy was included in the repos :( | 12:24 |
| xepra | pajamian: I didn't know about whereis - good to knw though | 12:24 |
| pajamian | xepra: Chrysalis looks like whereis searches the path for all matching files, which just searches for executables. | 12:24 |
| DistroJockey | pawan1234: just beware the *UNSUPPORTED* bit :) | 12:24 |
| laeg | Xcell, s_spiff: cool | 12:24 |
| Xcell | ok | 12:24 |
| HSNews | how to change main menu icon? | 12:24 |
| s_spiff | laeg: there are several ways out there to install nvidia drivers, the forums are full of it. but some work of some people, and for some they don't :( | 12:25 |
| tehdave | what does Envy do anyway? | 12:25 |
| PiRANiA | install video drivers | 12:25 |
| tehdave | makes sense | 12:25 |
| Chrysalis | pajamian: exactly | 12:25 |
| Xcell | tehdave: it installs the (direct) drivers | 12:25 |
| pajamian | !envy | tehdave | 12:25 |
| ubottu | tehdave: 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. | 12:25 |
| xepra | ronny: take a look at hdparm "man hdparm" | 12:25 |
| s_spiff | !envy | tehdave | 12:25 |
| ere4si | HSNews: you need a .gtkrc-2.0 file in /home/you for that | 12:25 |
| tehdave | Paja, s_spiff, didn't answer my question | 12:25 |
| pajamian | heh, it used to actually say what envy did, I think. | 12:26 |
| tehdave | Xcell, Same drivers I get from the Nvidia Linux drivers? | 12:26 |
| s_spiff | tehdave its a script which installs nvidia drivers, without you having to do much :D | 12:26 |
| Xcell | BUT, folks dont know how to re-boot and make it work on the second boot with...sudo touch /forcefsck... | 12:26 |
| HSNews | ere4si, thank you | 12:26 |
| Xcell | yep | 12:26 |
| ere4si | tehdave: envy is a script to instal nvidia/ati drivers from source | 12:26 |
| pajamian | !info envyng | tehdave (let's try this one) | 12:26 |
| ubottu | tehdave (let's try this one): Package envyng does not exist in hardy | 12:26 |
| pawan1234 | installed now | 12:26 |
| pajamian | !info envy | tehdave (let's try this one) | 12:27 |

| tehdave | -_- Bad Bot! | 12:27 |
| pajamian | heh, lovely | 12:27 |
| * tehdave pokes the bot. | 12:27 | |

| pajamian | ok, jsut look them up in synaptic, then, sheesh | 12:27 |
| Xcell | ok kiddies | 12:27 |
| tehdave | XD | 12:27 |
| adc | i've a harddisc which is 300gb large but my bios does not see them, it only sees 80gb, is there still a way i could make use of this harddisc with ubuntu? | 12:27 |
| pawan1234 | where are the nvidia drivers | 12:27 |
| Xcell | google envy | 12:27 |
| Xcell | enjoy | 12:28 |
| pajamian | adc: ubuntu will usualyl see the entire drive even if the bios doesn't. Just make sure that the boot partition fits in the 80gb the bios sees. | 12:28 |
| ZiggyFish_laptop | How do I fix this: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch | 12:28 |
| laeg | s_spiff, Xcell: my monitors physical menu *75hz (i.e - the menu from pressing the button on the fron of it), system > admin > nvidia settings *auto , and system > prefs > screen resolution > 50hz all tell me my refresh rate is a different value. the monitor says the optimum is 60hz - should i be concerned? | 12:28 |
| tehdave | Don't need it I think...got the Linux drivers from Nvidia...don't really need to use the X-server config enough for that to make a difference | 12:28 |
| ere4si | !nvidia | pawan1234 | 12:28 |
| ubottu | pawan1234: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:28 |
| adc | pajamian: i've created the lowest partition with the size of 250mb for the boot image, but still i get hard disc errors the bios is set to recognize the disc it self | 12:29 |
| Xcell | lol. experiment with it, its after all hardware | 12:29 |
| kil20 | Hi | 12:29 |
| laeg | ? | 12:29 |
| pajamian | adc: what errors? | 12:29 |
| kil20 | I want to install Skype in Hardy? Any one can help me. | 12:29 |
| Xcell | laeg is it lcd? | 12:29 |
| laeg | Xcell: yes | 12:30 |
| pajamian | !medibuntu | kil20 | 12:30 |
| ubottu | kil20: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 12:30 |
| Xcell | well, experiment then | 12:30 |
| pajamian | kil20: Skype is in the medibuntu repository | 12:30 |
| laeg | Xcell: to make it 60hz? | 12:30 |
| adc | pajamian: since it is on a different computer and i'vent logged it i cant remember but it was a ata1.00 status DRDY ERR as far as i remember | 12:30 |
| s_spiff | laeg: umm, I don't really know. Although the Server Settings daemon showed 50 Hz, I have tweaked xorg.conf to have a resolution of 1280x1024 and 97Refreshrate :P | 12:30 |
| kil20 | So there should be any help from this forum | 12:30 |
| kil20 | for skype | 12:30 |
| Xcell | what ever wrks, till the fix;s com in | 12:30 |
| adc | pajamian: i would be really thankfull if i could make use of this disc i just bought it and i cant get a smaller one | 12:30 |
| laeg | s_spiff, Xcell: does higher hz = better? | 12:30 |
| pajamian | adc: I would run a smartctl test on the drive and see if it reports a failure. | 12:31 |
| tech0007 | anyone tried Tor? why does it slow down my browsing? | 12:31 |
| Xcell | some times, depends upon the hardware refresh rates | 12:31 |
| i4x | anyone knows if evince uses system-config-printer to print files?? | 12:31 |
| s_spiff | laeg: looks like it.. at a lower refresh rate say 60, the transparent terminal embedded on my desktop has a slight shadow. at 97, everything is crystal clear :P | 12:31 |
| pajamian | tech0007: because it has to download everything through other TOR users DSL and cable modem connections. | 12:31 |
| dessnr | Xcell: Big thanks to you man! Everything is swimming along for me now! My effects and desktop are coming along like never before! | 12:31 |
| adc | pajamian: the installation did work very well, but after rebooting it gave those errors, and i couldnt find smartctl on the disc after installation of ubuntu | 12:31 |
| kil20 | After Installation of Skype I get an error of P2P connect failed. | 12:31 |
| laeg | Xcell: well the monitor says optimum is 60hz | 12:31 |
| tehdave | exit | 12:31 |
| Xcell | god bless ya my man | 12:31 |
| tehdave | er... | 12:32 |
| Saint`Diamond | Help, I'm getting this blue screen thing over my videos, can someone help me on telling me what that is, exactly. | 12:32 |
| kil20 | Is this problem with Skype or Ubuntu | 12:32 |
| tech0007 | pajamian: any fix or u know other alternatives aside from Tor? | 12:32 |
| pajamian | adc: it's in an optional package, smartmontools, I think, let me check ... | 12:32 |
| laeg | s_spiff: what does your monitor report is the optimum refresh? | 12:32 |
| pajamian | tech0007: nope, sorry. | 12:32 |
| tech0007 | pajamian: that's fine | 12:32 |
| adc | pajamian: yes but i cant install since no configuration has been done yet | 12:32 |
| s_spiff | laeg: 60 :P.. but no issues till date at 97 Hz | 12:32 |
| s_spiff | laeg: although you should know I'm on a CRT.. not a LCD. so dunno what can happen/will happen. :P | 12:33 |
| pajamian | adc: boot to the live CD and you can install packages on that with apt-get, they will just install in memory and remain there until you reboot. | 12:33 |
| Xcell | depends on the hardware, specs change with all | 12:33 |
| laeg | i have an nvidia geforce 7300 LE | 12:33 |
| Xcell | dont matter, your monitor is the last step | 12:33 |
| pajamian | tech0007: my best suggestion (not being a tor user myself) is to just use tor for those specific browsing sessions that you want to remain anonymous for and use your regular direct internet connection for the rest. | 12:34 |
| adc | pajamian: thank you very much so far | 12:34 |
| pajamian | adc: yw so far :-) | 12:34 |
| Xcell | just remember folks...sudo touch /forcefsck....1 time per week, | 12:34 |
| pajamian | adc: the package you need is smartmontools | 12:35 |
| laeg | Xcell: well the monitor says optimum is 60hz but i can push it to 75hz - what would jesus do? | 12:35 |
| Xcell | lol | 12:35 |
| laeg | :) | 12:35 |
| Xcell | nice | 12:35 |
| ere4si | I laughed at that | 12:35 |
| Xcell | good job | 12:35 |
| adc | pajamian: i bought a couple of days ago a sata harddisc with a sata to ide adapter sice my board cant sata. it didint work it gave me errors, then i bought this harddisc, an 320gb ide harddisc and now the bios doesnt see all the size of it, it is a western digital | 12:36 |
| Xcell | more fanz? | 12:36 |
| Xcell | lol | 12:36 |
| laeg | ? | 12:36 |
| sharkp | Hi | 12:36 |
| pajamian | adc: western digital ... yuk | 12:36 |
| sharkp | I've a problem, i've installed linux mint sharing my home folder with ubuntu | 12:36 |
| laeg | pajamian: western digital ftw | 12:36 |
| sharkp | now mint seems ubuntu, and i think ubuntu will seem mint | 12:36 |
| sharkp | :P | 12:36 |
| sharkp | How can I solve it? | 12:36 |
| laeg | Xcell: should i push is to 75hz or not? | 12:36 |
| jtravnick | adc have you updated your bios? | 12:37 |
| Xcell | hay, im a noob like everyone else, im a retired engineer that knows what time of day it is | 12:37 |
| pajamian | adc: anyways ... I would run smartctl on it to check if the drive is bad from the factory, sometimes they are. | 12:37 |
| i4x | anyone here knows if evince uses system-config-printer to print files?? | 12:37 |
| Xcell | try it | 12:37 |
| laeg | Xcell: ya but if it works, is it better? | 12:37 |
| DistroJockey | adc, pajamian : need a newer motherboard | 12:37 |
| Xcell | ittl make things look vleaner. but maybe not ush X 2 much..k? | 12:37 |
| pajamian | adc: and yes, as jtravnick just suggested, updating the bios may very well help. | 12:37 |
| Xcell | cleaner | 12:38 |
| psnel | HELP: Automatic updates not happening - PC switched off daily (missing 'update cycle'? if so, when is it?) | 12:38 |
| adc | jtravnick: as far as i found out it is the latest bios | 12:38 |
| Xcell | push | 12:38 |
| laeg | Xcell: k ty | 12:38 |
| adc | DistroJockey: yes, but new board means new board, cpu and memory | 12:38 |
| laeg | :) | 12:38 |
| pajamian | adc: ok, when you installed ubuntu did it partition off the entire drive (all 320 gigs)? | 12:38 |
| adc | yes it did | 12:38 |
| DistroJockey | adc: true | 12:38 |
| Xcell | if all fails, just go to recovery and the X do its job | 12:38 |
| adc | pajamian: without any problems | 12:38 |
| Nasra | hi, question is there a way how to keep my computer on from not shutting screen off on me? | 12:39 |
| Nasra | thanks | 12:39 |
| jtravnick | adc how old is the mother board? mine is at least 6 years old and was able to get a new bios so I could use bigger hard drives | 12:39 |
| pajamian | adc: and you did say it boots, at least part way, right? | 12:39 |
| i4x | again: anyone here knows if evince uses system-config-printer to print files?? | 12:39 |
| Xcell | The fun part about linux, u can fix it. | 12:39 |
| Xcell | windoZE, stinks. | 12:39 |
| Xcell | . | 12:39 |
| adc | pajamian: yes it does. i had before an old 80gb harddisc and there i had debian without any problems installed. the board is from 2001 called a asus med 2001 acpi bios rev 1009 | 12:40 |
| neil_d | is it possible to set up a different default printer on a per user basis ? | 12:40 |
| pajamian | adc: and just to double check, the /boot partition that you created at 250 megs, was the first partition (physically) on the drive, and primary partition number 1, right? | 12:40 |
| adc | pajamian: yes i double checked it, it is also called sda1, although i dont know why ubuntu calles this ide device as sda | 12:41 |
| pajamian | adc: ubuntu hardy seems to see all drives as scsi now. | 12:41 |
| psnel | Please help: Automatic updates not happening - PC switched off daily (missing 'update cycle'? if so, when is it?) | 12:41 |
| pajamian | adc: when you say that the bios only sees 80gb what steps did you take to try to get it to see more? | 12:41 |
| adc | pajamian: actually nothing, ubuntu saw it as 320gb during partitioning | 12:42 |

| raymears_ | hello everyone. i have a question. (not necessarily ubuntu-related) when using the precompiled lynx ubuntu package (from the standard gutsy repos ) i get a segmentation fault core dumped each time i try to use lynx as a webcrawler (lynx -crawl -traversal). can anyone tell me how i can analize the dumped core? (where does it get dumped?) | 12:43 |
| landspite | has anyone got ubuntu 64bit installed on vmware server 2.0 64bit? | 12:43 |
| landspite | the machine i created is ubuntu 64... and it's hosted on a windows server 2008 64.. box. | 12:43 |
| adc | pajamian: ohh, the bios never saw more, the bios just sees 80gb not more | 12:43 |
| landspite | i get : This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU.. this is with ubuntu 8.04 (64 bit) | 12:43 |

| DistroJockey | psnel: You wont miss updates. There hasn't been many for Hardy if that's what you are running. | 12:43 |
| pajamian | adc: and I repeat my question, what did you do to try to get the bios to see more? anything? | 12:43 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: hardy, yes. Just ran Update mgr... got alot of updates... I have to do manual updates, since before I upgraded | 12:44 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: ahh | 12:44 |

| adc | pajamian: when i go to the bios and let it search for the drives it sees the right naming of the disc but the size is always limited. ohhh untill now i didint make any changes to the bios, there are only those options to have it auto search the device or setting it manually like cylinders and heads etc. also there is an option called lba or have the os look for the partition table, but for this the os must be installed before and the table needs to be | 12:45 |
| tiemann | guentertiemann@hotmail.de | 12:45 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: you can change that in System - Administration - Software Sources | 12:45 |
| raymears_ | noone?... i could really appreciate your help ... :) | 12:45 |
| Xcell | adc: maket the boot go auto, the sequence them on next boot | 12:46 |
| romme | after recent updates, my bluetooth mouse disconnects after some time of inactivity | 12:46 |
| Xcell | then | 12:46 |
| pajamian | adc: ok, and you're sure that you didn't have the cylinders/heads/etc manually set for your old 80gb drive and the bios is not simply referring to those still? | 12:46 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: yes.. it says "daily"... but what time does it happen? Am Imissing it because I switch off my pc? | 12:46 |
| Xcell | pardon me folks, im just got a touch k board, so typos are evident, thanks | 12:47 |
| adc | pajamian: i wouldnt now how to make this sure. your thought might be possible be even after setting it to auto it should look for it automatically | 12:47 |
| adc | Xcell: sorry i didint understand | 12:47 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: should check when you connect I assume | 12:47 |
| pajamian | adc: yes, it should find the correct params if set to auto. | 12:47 |
| adc | is a smartctl --all /dev/sda call ok | 12:47 |
| pajamian | adc: you need to run a scan first | 12:47 |
| legend2440 | psnel: you can check for updates anytime by going to System>Administration>Update Manager | 12:48 |
| adc | pajamian: how? | 12:48 |
| pajamian | adc, let me check ... | 12:48 |
| psnel | legend2440: i know. auto updates aren | 12:48 |
| Xcell | adc: in bios allow then (through) switching what should be picked,,,,than on next boot allocate which is which, it may take many boots to train bios | 12:48 |
| pajamian | adc: smartctl -t long /dev/sda | 12:49 |
| Xcell | bios is some times hard to train | 12:49 |
| yacc | Curious, what's this tmpfs /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/volatile ? | 12:49 |
| adc | Xcell: i had many reboots | 12:49 |
| pajamian | adc: then it will tell you how long the scan will take (estimated), so wait that amount of time before you run the other command you just gave. | 12:49 |
| psnel | legend2440: sorry, auto-updates aren't happening - that's sorta my problem (I'm doing a manual update now.. alot of updates) - Software Sources set to "daily update" | 12:49 |
| Xcell | what bios and mobo? | 12:49 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: what do you mean "check when I connect"? | 12:49 |
| adc | pajamian: it said 95min and calling smartctl --all /dev/sda returns immediately without any errors | 12:50 |
| legend2440 | psnel: i just did that because i hadn't had the update icon come up since i installed hardy on 4/24. so i just ran update manger and there were 33 updates. i too turn off my computer so that may be the problem. not sure | 12:50 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: when your system gets a connection to the net, it should check | 12:50 |
| pajamian | adc: yes, but it won't have the results for the current scan in it until the current scan completes. | 12:50 |
| legend2440 | psnel: mine is set to daily also | 12:51 |

| AnTaR3S | salve | 12:52 |
| adc | pajamian: how do i get the results after this particular time? | 12:52 |

| DistroJockey | psnel: k, that's odd and I don't know the cause :( | 12:55 |
| pajamian | adc: as for making your bios see the entire drive, you should if you can (but beware that changing the bios cyl/head/sector configuration may mean that you need to re-partition and reinstall ubuntu) but ... | 12:55 |

| pajamian | adc: Linux shouls be able to see the entire drive fine even if the bios doesn't because Linux doesn't get the drive params from the bios, it gets them directly from the drive itself. | 12:56 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: no problem, I'm looking further :) | 12:56 |

| Yahuda | Hi. | 13:00 |
| kbrosnan | askand: no, and it is not a beta the next release is RC1 | 13:00 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: maybe the following?: apt-get --reinstall update-manager | 13:00 |
| Yahuda | does anyone get ATI restricted driver freezes? | 13:01 |
| adc | pajamian: i couldnt find, even i still search but no real information. i thought they all print those values onto the cover of the disc. | 13:01 |
| pajamian | adc: not all, modern bios's are supposed to auto-detect the values. | 13:01 |
| adc | pajamian: yes thats what they suggest, the bios recognizes or reads it from the disc and the users doesnt have to know it. but why cant they write it somewhere on there website. | 13:02 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: that would be the following rather: sudo apt-get --reinstall install update-manager | 13:03 |
| pajamian | adc: I think it may not even use proper cyl/head/sector designations for drives that big. | 13:03 |
| pajamian | adc: they have only been logical anyways for ages now, the actual physical designations are way different than what they state the bios settings are. | 13:04 |

| fiyawerx | Bidget, did you get it working? | 13:06 |
| pajamian | adc: that's ok, I think it's the same page I was already looking at | 13:06 |
| pajamian | adc: I'm not going to click it to find out. | 13:07 |
| adc | pajamian: it is showing jumper settings for 10-pin drives 6-pin drives 9-pin drives what does it mean? do they produce different pined drives and whatever you have you lookup here and set the jumper appropriately? | 13:08 |
| pajamian | adc: what is interesting is that 80gb is not (to my knowledge) one of the known "bios barriers". | 13:08 |
| blackbird | trying to follow instructions here: http://tinyurl.com/47hroy but running up against the problem I posted in the pastebin (invalid syntax stuff) | 13:08 |
| pajamian | adc: the jumpers should be set correctly from the factory, but, just to be sure ... | 13:08 |
| adc | pajamian: aha | 13:08 |
| pajamian | adc: but going back to my prior comment, that's why I suspect that the bios is somehow hanging onto your old drive settings. | 13:08 |
| pajamian | adc: because it was 80gb, I don't think that is coincidence. | 13:09 |
| adc | pajamian: it was set to cable select. pajamian if you are right and the bios is stuck to the old settinggs i'll check if after thte smartctl scan is finished | 13:09 |
| adc | can i get from smartctl partly results? | 13:09 |
| adc | i cant imagin that the disc is damaged, but still possible | 13:10 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: worth a try... | 13:10 |
| pajamian | adc: there does appear to be a 130gb limitation, you might be hitting that (but in a slightly different cyl/head/sector configuration that actually limits to 80gb) | 13:10 |

| Baughn | I've got some volume buttons on my keyboard, which adjust the /front/ panel volume just fine.. but that volume doesn't actually affect the output in any way. How can I fix it? | 13:22 |

| mcisbackuk | pajamian: command not found lol | 13:23 |
| Xcell | I am learning the requisites of the eliteness of all , but im still a noob, | 13:23 |
| pajamian | mcisbackuk: hehehe | 13:23 |
| AussieGuy | hmmm...ok then, well ubuntu hardy, plus a full upgrade a day after its release wouldnt amount to 24 gigs would it.... | 13:23 |
| AussieGuy | in terms of the download | 13:23 |
| mcisbackuk | pajamian: seriously is there one though? | 13:23 |
| kbrosnan | hurko: don't think that is very important. it is the python xul interperter | 13:24 |
| pajamian | mcisbackuk: not sure, I just know that I wouldn't try installing any Linux with a GUI on a computer with those specs. You can still run Linux on it, but I would use it for an old testing/development server with no GUI. | 13:24 |
| Stroganoff | AussieGuy according to my calculations you can download 32,4GB per day with 3mbit | 13:24 |
| Charbucks | AussieGuy:24 gigs is way too much for hardy... think more like 700 Mb | 13:24 |
| scizzo- | virz: its called mysqld | 13:24 |
| AussieGuy | thought so | 13:24 |
| dzekas | why on ubuntu kde konqueror shows less exif meta information than konqueror on opensuse? | 13:24 |
| elkbuntu | Stroganoff, that's like a month's download for most aussies | 13:24 |
| mcisbackuk | pajamian: 6.04/6.10 worked quite alright on there, thought 8.04 would be more streamlined...... lol | 13:24 |
| scizzo- | virz: hmm or not | 13:24 |
| pajamian | mcisbackuk: I don't know. | 13:25 |
| scizzo- | virz: ls -l /etc/init.d/ and you can see what is in there | 13:25 |
| Charbucks | Stroganoff: theoretically, true, but I've never seen a download actually approach that rate | 13:25 |
| opera | i've recently installed ubuntu only to find out that the blue line in irssi is light blue instead of dark blue... is there a simple way to change that? | 13:25 |

| Xcell | mcisbackuk: good luck, buy a new drive and or do a clean install, | 13:25 |

| bain | erland: you there ? | 13:26 |
| pajamian | mcisbackuk: one thing I would recommend is to allocate a lot of swap to that box so it has something to use for extra RAM, but it will be SLOW when it starts to swap out. | 13:27 |
| mcisbackuk | v0lksman: Mini method? | 13:27 |
| dzekas | Blinny: check diff file in package page on packages.ubuntu.org | 13:27 |

| opera | solved my coloring issue by changing the gnome-terminal palette | 13:29 |
| void^ | mcisbackuk: better run something like fluxbox instead of xfce. xfce isn't very light, uses nearly as much memory as gnome these days. and make sure you aren't using restricted-modules. | 13:29 |
| Xcell | I havent that xperience joosep sry | 13:29 |
| erland | bain: no. well, not on this machine - I can't remember if it was attached when I upgraded my laptop for gutsy to hardy... | 13:29 |

| joosep | ok, np | 13:29 |

| kahrytan | erland, well, if you can use fstab to mount by label, /dev/sd* or UUID. And the howto gives clear descriptions of options. It has examples too. | 13:44 |
| Charbucks | joosep: what do you get if you try smbclient -L IP? | 13:44 |

| drew_ | lucent: (i.e. I don't understand how that query doesn't answer the question - same as your response didn't answer mine) | 13:45 |

| bain | and if you want to minimize dataloss go that route. | 13:46 |
| erland | bain: ok, what does ctrl-c do? | 13:46 |
| lucent | nothing bothers me more than people who think they can just point me at a google query that turns up dust | 13:46 |
| bain | erland: cancels the commend running | 13:46 |
| scout | lucent, hehe i hear that | 13:46 |
| joosep | Charbucks: i can get access to my own samba shares though, with smb://hostname/share | 13:46 |

| lucent | uhh | 13:47 |
| drew_ | lucent: no offence was intended. a question about PW (??) might be a better (more specific) one | 13:47 |
| lucent | :P | 13:47 |
| erland | bain: ok, might it work to mount via fstab as kahrytan suggested first, or should I take it for data recovery right away? | 13:47 |
| drew_ | lucent: check cdrdao's website/mailing list | 13:47 |
| lucent | yeah so how do I rip/write PW ccd/cue/sub | 13:47 |
| lucent | I did, they came to the conclusion that cdrdao doesn't write PW | 13:47 |
| lucent | it only writes RW | 13:47 |

| abhishek | hi | 13:49 |
| sanguisdex | is there a package that would cause the apt package manger to get required libs durring runing a ./'configure file/ | 13:49 |
| abhishek | please tell me how to install .bin file | 13:49 |
| bain | kahrytan: the problem is the journal is lost on the /dev/sdc1 partition .. he has to recreate it, which means a high knowledge of filesystems in linux and a full backup of the partition using partimage or dd ... the mount setting sis not the problem. | 13:49 |
| lucent | sanguisdex: it's often easier than you think | 13:49 |
| abhishek | I have downloaded real player 11 gold for unix now want to install it. It's in .bin format | 13:50 |
| bain | erland: : the problem is the journal is lost on the /dev/sdc1 partition .. you have to recreate it, which means a good knowledge of filesystems in linux and a full backup of the partition using partimage or dd ... the mount setting sis not the problem. | 13:50 |

| DistroJockey | abhishek: It should have instructions. If it doesn't don't install it. | 13:50 |
| bazhang | !poll | markvandenborre | 13:50 |
| ubottu | markvandenborre: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:50 |
| kahrytan | bain, I agree. | 13:50 |
| adc | pajamian: maybe i did the same when i installed the 80gb disc in the past and these values very stored and used even though bios was set to autodetect, i'm reinstalling it, after reboot it will be possible to see what happens | 13:50 |
| sanguisdex | lucent: awesome | 13:50 |
| pajamian | adc: cool | 13:50 |
| drew_ | lucent: I don't understand the problem, but their changelog seems to point at that being a hardware feature: http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/changelog.html (search for P-W) | 13:50 |
| erland | bain: ok, I've heard of partimage, but what's dd | 13:51 |
| markvandenborre | bazhang: maybe my question was not clear to you | 13:51 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: how's it possible to have more than 1 same-name dirs in the same parent dir? | 13:51 |
| Randocal | How can I change my default kernel that my Hardy upgrade boots into? The first option freezes my PC and I need to select the second kernel version listed, i'd like this to be done by default every boot. | 13:51 |
| adc | pajamian: you were a great help. thank you very very much. | 13:51 |
| bazhang | !hcl | markvandenborre this might help out | 13:51 |
| ubottu | markvandenborre this might help out: 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 | 13:51 |
| pajamian | adc: even if it all works out and you don't get errors I recommend you run the smartctl tests again, get it to pass at least one long test, just to make sure the drive is good. | 13:51 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: not sure, it's broken though :) | 13:51 |
| kahrytan | bain, You think backup the drive and recovery the data. then format it? | 13:51 |
| pajamian | adc: glad I could help. | 13:51 |
| adc | pajamian: and maybe even this was the problem with the sata disc where i used an adapter | 13:52 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: sounds broken :) - and you said fresh install is always better. | 13:52 |
| bain | kahrytan: i'm not very clued up on ext3 .. but on most FS's you should be able to rescan the drive and rebuild superblock information and just ignore journalling information that might be lost | 13:52 |
| abhishek | i have downloaded it from http://www.real.com/linux and it doesn't have the installing instructions | 13:52 |
| bain | kahrytan: recovery is likely .. however ut needs to be done by somebody that knows what he's doing and backups | 13:52 |
| pajamian | adc: I would have just bought a PCI SATA controller card isntead of a SATA to IDE adapter. | 13:52 |
| lucent | drew_: either I don't understand it, or you don't understand it, but the effect is you're providing advice that doesn't make any sense to me... because I've read that changelog 5 or 10 times and it says nothing about writing P+Q channels | 13:52 |

| charlie | my hardy heron keeps freezing and i hate to hard reboot it. i think tis firefox thats doing it | 13:53 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: I was incorrect with that statement about the multiples (sorry) | 13:53 |
| pajamian | adc: that said, best solution is to just get an IDE drive if you don't have a SATA controller, imo. | 13:53 |
| cinex | is there a plan for ubuntu to relase a kernel version 2.6.25 ? | 13:53 |
| adc | pajamian: i've no pci slot free ;-) i use this box as a home multimedia pc with mythtv | 13:53 |
| lucent | charlie: there's something screwy with the new "Completely Fair Scheduler" | 13:53 |
| lucent | charlie: it causes problems when there's heavy disk access | 13:53 |
| pajamian | adc: you ended up doing the best solution imo anyways. | 13:53 |
| lucent | forgot the bug # but it's being addressed | 13:53 |
| charlie | lucent: oh. what should i do? | 13:53 |
| lucent | charlie: well, there's a few common causes | 13:54 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: it just didn't like me using the same username at install to talk to that username on my /home | 13:54 |
| lucent | either it's CFS, it's bad interaction between Nvidia graphics and Flash, or other | 13:54 |

| lucent | abhishek: make that file executable | 13:54 |

| Dr_willis | abhishek, many people just use the other players and the w32codec packs. Ive rarely heard of anyond using the real player downloads from real, and having them work. | 13:55 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: like windows, "/mysameuser.00001" ? | 13:55 |
| lucent | charlie: does the slowdown happen when disk access is intensive? | 13:55 |
| bain | kahrytan: definately ! | 13:55 |
| afief | My resolution got messed up after running a video fullscreen in Totem, and I am unable to go back to the old resolution, what can I do?:( | 13:55 |
| pajamian | adc: yep, good luck, but even if hte drive is bad, just exchange it for another of the same. | 13:55 |
| adc | ubuntu declares all the partitions as scsi discs | 13:55 |
| abhishek | well i have other player | 13:55 |
| lucent | like searching for files or copying large files? | 13:55 |
| abhishek | but | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | Companies that supply things in '.bin ' with no docs need shot. | 13:55 |

| lucent | back your stuff up if you buy seagates | 13:57 |
| Charbucks | joosep, did you upgrade or reinstall? Maybe there's some old config stuff kicking around if you upgraded | 13:57 |
| lucent | they will fail in the first 3 months if they are going to fail at all | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | Always backup your stuff. no matter what you buy. | 13:57 |

| DistroJockey | Well said Dr_willis :) | 13:57 |
| lucent | other manufacturers of drives are sort of a mixed lot. You can count on seagate drives to fail quickly if they're lemons | 13:57 |

| ArcanusX | I am going to set up a mailinglist on a fresh computer. (Ubuntu 7.10) anyone know of some good setups? | 14:03 |
| psnel | DistroJockey: I thought that you meant with "multiples" (considering that it may be the only way to actually have multiple same-username dir in /home), that (like when you re-install windows) the dicovery of your previous user (e.g. /home/myuser/) caused it to create a duplicate (e.g. /home/myuser.0001/) like windows does | 14:03 |
| pajamian | adc: anyways, I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you get the error on regular boot as well (from HDD). | 14:03 |

| DistroJockey | psnel: ahh, yes. That's what I assumed happened but I was mistaken. Sorry | 14:04 |

| pioto | howdy... gotta say you guys have done a nice job making for a slick install experience | 14:04 |
| adc | pajamian: yes, if everything works after this installation. i could live with this tiny problem, i could solve it later on. i'm desperatly waiting to have this installed. i used the alternate cd this time. | 14:04 |

| pioto | a few things i've noticed that i just may not have notices the proper ubuntu way to do or something... the hardware manager didn't install nvidia-settings when it added the nvidia drivers... and the ubuntu screen resolution tool doesn't let me do things like set up twinview... is there a reason that the settings tool isn't added by default? | 14:05 |
| pajamian | adc: I tend to use the alternate CD most times, mainly because (1) it's faster in my experience and (2) I don't have to get 1/2 way into the live CD install just to find out that I need to install from the alternate CD. | 14:06 |

| pioto | also, how can i set a different wallpaper for each display when using twinview? | 14:06 |
| ikonia | zgmf-x20a: you can call it from a binary toolset | 14:06 |

| kahrytan | pajamian, After you do alternate install, does installing ubuntu-desktop work and tends ubuntu into live cd version? | 14:07 |
| pioto | but usually mapping it to a label or uuid is safer | 14:07 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, imagemagic | 14:07 |
| ikonia | kahrytan: the alternative cd installs the desktop | 14:07 |
| ikonia | kahrytan: your thinking of the server install | 14:08 |

| lmosher | Yeah I know UUID is better, but for some reason with the new kernel I'm getting an error. It says ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/myuuid does not exist | 14:08 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: yah but that is command line, looking for something with a gui | 14:08 |

| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, er | 14:08 |
| kahrytan | ikonia, Aww .. alternative is like live cd install but doesnt gnome. | 14:08 |
| alesan | hi | 14:08 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, if its just batch processing your doing, why? | 14:08 |
| alesan | my girlfried just updated to 8.04 | 14:08 |
| erland | kahrytan: that howto is abiout ddrescue, but using synaptic I see ddrescue and gddrescue - is one better? The "g" one seems to have a better description. | 14:08 |
| zgmf-x20a | pajamian: realyyy....... argh.... | 14:08 |
| pajamian | kahrytan: alternate install ends up installing the exact same packages as the live cd install including ubuntu-desktop. | 14:08 |
| kahrytan | erland, i suggest using the one in howto | 14:09 |
| spanther | alesan, thats nice :) | 14:09 |
| alesan | and her network does not work anymore, nor wireless or ethernet. she's now calling me using her friend's computer, is there a FAQ how to solve this? | 14:09 |
| lmosher | it drops me to a kernel, where I can confirm that directory is actually empty. When I boot on an old kernel, /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is populated correctly. Any ideas why this would happen, or how to fix? I'm going to -try- not using UUIDs to see if it will boot the new kernel, but it seems a strange workaround | 14:09 |
| ikonia | kahrytan: but the install it does installs gnome | 14:09 |
| ikonia | kahrytan: it does a full desktop-cd install | 14:09 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: mostly cause im not all to comfortable with the command line stuff | 14:09 |
| pioto | ohh, and you guys default to ffox3... nice | 14:09 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: there are probably gui packages that do bulk conversions, I'm just used to doing some things on the command line. | 14:09 |
| alesan | spanther: how to enable networking... | 14:09 |
| kahrytan | ikonia, Ill remember that. | 14:09 |
| zgmf-x20a | pajamian: yahhh,,, like gimp will do it, but its one at a time, which sucks | 14:10 |
| spanther | alesan, if that doesnt work on the fly then you have a problem :) | 14:10 |
| ikonia | kahrytan: the server cd uses the same visual interface as the alternative cd, but installs teh server product (no-gnome for example) | 14:10 |
| DistroJockey | lmosher: any bad/no existant devices in your /etc/fstab? | 14:10 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, take a test pdf | 14:10 |
| alesan | spanther: am I telling her to give a dhclient on a terminal now | 14:10 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, go to the command line, cd to where it is, and type convert <input.pdf> <output.jpg> | 14:10 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, thats it, basically | 14:10 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: at the end of the day, batch conversions like that really do work best on the command line. You just need to get used to it. | 14:10 |
| digital_ | how i restart the sound server | 14:10 |
| fiyawerx | it will add -0, -1, etc.. | 14:10 |
| fiyawerx | don't type the <>'s | 14:10 |
| fiyawerx | just convert file.pdf file.jpg | 14:11 |
| fiyawerx | i just tried it, worked great | 14:11 |
| dna_ | <>< | 14:12 |
| dna_ | ><> | 14:12 |
| lmosher | DistroJockey, It looks normal. Just my /dev/sd3 and /dev/sd5 for ext3 and swap, respectively. There is a /dev/scd0 for the cdrom. Never seen a label like that before, but my cd works, so it must be correct? | 14:12 |
| hischild | dna_: please don't spam. | 14:12 |
| komputes | If someone has some spare time, I would like some assistance in setting up a USB to VGA adepter which I can't get to work. | 14:12 |
| DistroJockey | lmosher: sounds fine | 14:12 |
| dna_ | hischild, that wasnt spam, it was fishes :D | 14:12 |
| hischild | dna_: this is the ubuntu support channel. Please don't post offtopic messages. | 14:12 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: and to expand on what fiyawerx just told you, if you want to convert all the pdf files in a directory just do: for x in *.pdf; do convert $x ${x/.pdf/.jpg}; done | 14:13 |
| pioto | lmosher: yeah... current kernels use sata drivers, even for ide disks on some controllers | 14:13 |
| lmosher | DistroJockey, I can boot in the old kernel, so.. I'm thinking it's related to the new kernel, but i'm not sure how. Why wouldn't the by-uuid get populated? Well.. let me try booting with root=/dev/sda3 in the grub list. Maybe that will make it happy? | 14:13 |
| fiyawerx | and there you have it :) | 14:13 |
| pioto | lmosher: so, it's really an ide (pata) drive, but shows as /dev/sd? | 14:13 |
| lmosher | pioto, No the hard disk is sata | 14:13 |
| ikonia | lmosher: exactly what error do you get ? | 14:13 |
| dna_ | hischild, take it easy dude, nothing wrong with a little bit of fun | 14:13 |
| lmosher | ikonia, The exact error is ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<myuuid> does not exist. Then it kicks me to a busybox shell | 14:14 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: ok im going togive it a shot, first time messed up, i put the <> in.... lol. then read what you said, ok here goes again | 14:14 |
| ikonia | dna_: it's a busy channel, it would be appriciated if you could keep the random noise down | 14:14 |
| ikonia | lmosher: ah, and thats on a hardy install ? | 14:14 |
| lmosher | ikonia, Hardy, yes.. not an install. I couldn't install the main CD due to some problems. Had to install gutsy then upgrade | 14:15 |
| unop | lmosher, do you know which device that supposed uuid corresponds to? | 14:15 |
| lmosher | "some problems" = the same problem, heh | 14:15 |
| ikonia | lmosher: what disk chipset have you got ? | 14:15 |
| Mosfet | if i dl i get 151 kb/s, if i have 3 dl's i get 151 kb/s x 3, is there no way i can open or speed up my transfer rates? im on a 20meg line | 14:15 |
| lmosher | unop, Yeah it's /dev/sda3 according to my current /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Mosfet: contact your isp | 14:16 |
| lmosher | ikonia, Intel ICH8 family chipsets | 14:16 |
| ikonia | lmosher: so nothing out of the ordinary | 14:16 |
| charlie | hardy just froze again, i had firefox open through consol, and when it froze there was nothing new on the console | 14:16 |
| ikonia | lmosher: thats most odd. what board is it ? | 14:16 |
| unop | lmosher, and does /dev/sda3 exist? | 14:16 |
| Mosfet | my win box get up to 2 mb/s ? | 14:16 |
| lmosher | ikonia, It's a toshiba laptop | 14:16 |
| ikonia | lmosher: one moment. | 14:17 |
| pajamian | Mosfet: there are limits set by the server you are connecting to. | 14:17 |
| Mosfet | aah i see | 14:17 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: ummmmmm nothing happened... lol. i pressed enter, and no errors or anything, just, nothing?? lol what does that mean? | 14:17 |
| DistroJockey | lmosher: I believe that UUID's can change when partitions change. Does sudo blkid match? | 14:17 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, check the directory now | 14:17 |
| fiyawerx | there should be jpgs there | 14:17 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: yes i checked, but nothing is in there | 14:17 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, did you cd to the directory that contained the pdf first? | 14:18 |
| lmosher | unop, DistroJockey: I can boot just fine (i'm using it right now) on kernel 2.6.22. They both have the same kernel lines in menu.lst... | 14:18 |
| lmosher | DistroJockey, Yes, blkid matches | 14:18 |
| eax_ | Does anyone know how I make Amarok play WMA's and MP3's? It refuses to :( | 14:18 |
| zgmf-x20a | yup, i put it in my home folder to make sure it worked fine | 14:18 |

| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: yup, i put it in my home folder to make sure it worked fine | 14:19 |

| kahrytan | eax_, Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras in add/remove | 14:19 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: are you sure you spelled the filenames correctly? realize that case does matter in Linux. | 14:19 |
| eax_ | kahrytan: Thanks :) | 14:19 |
| lmosher | DistroJockey, Actually, I found a bug report that had my exact error, but it turns out their problem was just a typo that their menu.lst had the wrong UUID. I confirmed that the UUID in menu.lst matches the one in fstab and /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 14:20 |
| dna_ | anyone tried plesk on 8.04 server? | 14:20 |

| X_BlaDeR | ? | 14:20 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: pajamian, yup, i copy and pasted it from the file directly so as not to make that mistake. | 14:20 |
| X_BlaDeR | music* | 14:20 |
| eax_ | fiyawerx: Ubuntu | 14:20 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, so if the file is test.pdf, you type: convert test.pdf test.jpg | 14:20 |

| kahrytan | eax_, fiyawerx comment :-P | 14:21 |
| fiyawerx | eax_, both should be fine, i generally prefer apt-get | 14:22 |
| i4x | joosep: just ask! | 14:22 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: pajamian , the file name is "Business Guide - Law.pdf" will the - effect it? | 14:22 |
| eax_ | fiyawerx: Thanks :) trying now | 14:22 |
| fiyawerx | no but spaces will | 14:22 |
| pajamian | eax_: not everything is in add/remove. Use synaptic instead. | 14:22 |
| kahrytan | eax_, you have ALL Avail applications showing? | 14:22 |
| i4x | joosep: ups, sorry! | 14:22 |
| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, you might have an easier time with the line that pajamian posted earlier | 14:22 |
| kahrytan | pajamian, its in add/remove | 14:22 |

| fiyawerx | zgmf-x20a, or else you'll have to use \'s or tab completion | 14:23 |
| ikonia | lmosher: would you be interested in trying the kernel boot parameter "noirqdebug | 14:23 |
| kahrytan | eax_, just search for ubuntu then. | 14:23 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: no, but the spaces will. enclose the filename in single-quotes like this: 'Business Guide - Law.pdf' | 14:23 |
| LinuxAc | i want download the display card driver | 14:23 |
| fiyawerx | or that :) | 14:23 |
| eax_ | kahrytan; Tried that, didn't work :( Using apt-get now :) | 14:23 |
| ikonia | lmosher: or the irqpoll option | 14:23 |
| kahrytan | eax_, enable universe repository? | 14:23 |
| lmosher | ikonia, hmmm ok. just add that to the end (i.e. ro quiet splash noirqdebug)? | 14:23 |
| eax_ | kahrytan: Already did :S | 14:23 |
| unop | pajamian, zgmf-x20a, you need to quote variables properly. for x in *.pdf; do convert "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; done | 14:23 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: do that to both the pdf and jpg filenames. | 14:23 |
| ikonia | lmosher: thats it, try noirqdebug first | 14:23 |
| LinuxAc | i want download the display card driver wut thx cmd ? | 14:23 |
| kahrytan | eax_, Well, it shows up for me | 14:23 |
| pajamian | unop: true, I forget that a lot. | 14:24 |
| ikonia | lmosher: I'm making an assumption based on an old kernel bug, so it probably won't work | 14:24 |
| kahrytan | eax_, using hardy, gutsy? | 14:24 |
| lmosher | ikonia, ok I'll add entries for those in menu.lst and give it a shot. I'll also try just setting it root=/dev/sda3 and see if that works | 14:24 |

| fiyawerx | X_BlaDeR, firefox | 14:25 |

| xnv | Does Ubuntu let you right-click -> mount an ISO yet? | 14:25 |
| DistroJockey | psnel: ahh. Well sysvconfig should still do the job :) | 14:25 |
| kahrytan | eax_, You need to use http://www.medibuntu.org/ for feisty. But upgrade. | 14:25 |
| eax_ | kahrytan: I prefer not to upgrade as Gutsy refuses to start when it's installed it simply won't start :S | 14:25 |

| eax_ | Can't as I'm on my schools network :/ (Continuation school) | 14:27 |
| pajamian | adc: cool, now I really recommend you run smartctl tests again and make sure the drive passes. | 14:27 |
| adc | pajamian: and i can work while it is doing the test? | 14:28 |
| zgmf-x20a | fiyawerx: pajamian ... ugh... no luck with that either, a list of commands for using imagemagick just shows up. no conversion though... :( | 14:28 |
| pajamian | adc: yes, it may slow the test down a bit, but yes. | 14:28 |
| pajamian | zgmf-x20a: what is the exact command you gave for imagemagick? | 14:28 |

| zgmf-x20a | convert $x ${x/.pdf/.jpg} , which btw, i simply changed the filename of the pdf to x | 14:29 |
| unop | pajamian, zgmf-x20a, you need to quote variables properly. for x in *.pdf; do convert "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; done | 14:29 |

| dbe | I have Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) | 14:37 |
| fiyawerx | i did this and it worked fine: for x in *.pdf; do { echo converting "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; convert -verbose "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; } done | 14:38 |
| fiyawerx | if i do this: | 14:38 |
| fiyawerx | for x in *.pdf; do; echo converting "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; convert -verbose "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; done | 14:38 |
| fiyawerx | you get bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;' | 14:38 |
| ncc | first was XP. error 21: invalid device requested | 14:38 |
| unop | fiyawerx, you're using a compound command .. that isn't necessary | 14:38 |

| joosep | btw, is there a good fan control program for the linux desktop a la speedfan on windows? | 14:39 |

| unop | fiyawerx, for x in *.pdf; do echo converting "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; convert -verbose "$x" "${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; do | 14:39 |
| fiyawerx | you're doing multiple commands for each file, you don't need to compound it? | 14:39 |
| joosep | fancontrol is a bit sucky imo | 14:39 |
| fiyawerx | unop: right, you had a do; before | 14:39 |
| pajamian | fiyawerx: echo "converting $x to ${x/.pdf/.jpg}"; | 14:39 |
| fiyawerx | didnt see if you changed it | 14:39 |

| popey | CShadowRun: odd, totem should play oggs fine | 14:42 |
| negge^ | N1N31NCHN41L5: you can do it with pysdm | 14:42 |
| CShadowRun | popey it does play them fine from istanbul, just not from gtk-recordmydesktop | 14:42 |
| ncc | just yesterday. ubu 7.1. last of all others. | 14:42 |
| CShadowRun | i think it spews out broken oggs or totem isn't very good at playing them | 14:42 |
| CShadowRun | maybe i'll install VLC and try that | 14:43 |
| CShadowRun | i know all my graphics and stuff runs because i can play CS:S in wine @ 220FPS :p | 14:43 |

| NetTroller | mornin' | 14:45 |

| popey | Prose: system --> admin --> software sources | 14:45 |
| happiness | EVA。。 | 14:45 |
| NetTroller | how do I "define the GCC and LD" in the makefile? | 14:45 |
| pajamian | Prose: what popey just said. | 14:45 |
| Kinetic | Prose: change the repo in /etc/sources.list ... or what popey said ^ | 14:45 |
| Lynet | DjViper: Shot in dark here, but could be gfx driver issues, or some background task hogging cpu. | 14:45 |
| happiness | oh I see | 14:45 |
| cdecarlo | popey: from what I've seen so far hpodder is a command line client, is there a fancy gui that you can slap onto it? | 14:45 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127750 this may help cdecarlo | 14:46 |
| Prose | popey, pajamian thanks but I am doing this over ssh and I can't forward X11 (another problem there) | 14:46 |
| popey | cdecarlo: you could use rhythmbox or banshee or amarok | 14:46 |
| popey | Prose: edit /etc/apt/sources.list then | 14:46 |
| happiness | who can teach me ? I am new.... | 14:46 |
| Kinetic | cdecarlo search synaptic for one... there are a ton to choose from | 14:46 |
| popey | happiness: you haven't asked a question yet have you? | 14:46 |
| pajamian | happiness: you can probably get better help in #ubuntu-cn | 14:46 |
| bazhang | happiness, /join #ubuntu-cn | 14:46 |

| NetTroller | is -cn for newbie ?'s ? | 14:47 |
| CShadowRun | NetTroller no, -cn is for chinese people | 14:47 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: -cn is for people who speak chineese | 14:47 |
| NetTroller | :) | 14:47 |
| CShadowRun | they speak chinese there. | 14:47 |
| babola2 | cdecarlo: apples to oranges | 14:47 |
| bazhang | NetTroller, for chinese speakers | 14:47 |
| CShadowRun | :) | 14:47 |
| Kinetic | cdecarlo gotcha, im trying to remember the name of the one I use at home. But most of my podcasts I just let Amarok handle | 14:47 |
| lmosher | methinks nettroller was.. well.. it's in his name :) | 14:47 |
| AfricAnne | help!how to create an internet connection.tnx | 14:48 |
| NetTroller | Økay .. I asked my question..rather than spam the room..I wait..or assume nobody will answer..I know you're busy..you always are :) | 14:48 |
| babola2 | AfricAnne: what seems to be the problem? | 14:48 |
| Kinetic | cdecarlo but Amarok is bloat if all you need is a podcast client | 14:48 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: which makefile? | 14:48 |
| NetTroller | ralink driver | 14:48 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: does it have a configure stage? | 14:49 |

| jedwards_ | does anyone know if 8.04 is stable or not ans worth the upgrade? | 14:49 |
| AfricAnne | ive actually bought this cdma internet thing,and since my laptop is on dual platform(xp and ubuntu) i found out i cannot install it on ubuntu | 14:49 |
| NetTroller | pajamian I don't think so | 14:49 |
| Ziroda1 | what command would hide all windows in the current/all desktops? | 14:49 |

| Toznoshio | ATI question: the Hardy live CD doesn't recognize my ATI graphics card. I don't know what kind of card (series) it is, but I do know it's ATI. I tried running SIW in XP to find out, but it doesn't give me that information. My objective is to somehow get to a command line prompt and do a "lspci | grep -i vga" - how do I do that? | 14:49 |
| babola2 | jedwards_: yes it is.. what exactly do u wish to know? | 14:49 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: like this... | 14:49 |
| Prose | popey: do I just uncomment all the multiverse and such repos? | 14:49 |
| jedwards_ | does it have bugs? | 14:49 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: GCC=blah LD=blah make | 14:49 |
| babola2 | AfricAnne: what modem do u have? | 14:50 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: ...I think, it's been a while | 14:50 |
| lmosher | Toznoshio: Doesn't the livecd kick you to a terminal on failing to start x? | 14:50 |
| AfricAnne | it's huawei EC325 cdma modem | 14:50 |
| NetTroller | pajamian my mistake..the change is to me made in the config.mk file..you're correct there..here is the existing line I'm assuming I change: | 14:50 |
| babola2 | jedwards_: this may answer more of your questions -->http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804 | 14:50 |
| babola2 | AfricAnne: one moment | 14:50 |
| NetTroller | CC := $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc | 14:51 |
| NetTroller | LD := $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld | 14:51 |
| acv | 3 | 14:51 |
| Toznoshio | lmosher: no, the screen just simply goes black | 14:51 |
| acv | do i need acpid if im running on a server? | 14:51 |
| unop | Ziroda1, you can use the wmctrl command .. it might need to be installed tho | 14:51 |
| NetTroller | I don't know what to change them too | 14:51 |
| bazhang | jedwards_, best to try the livecd before upgrading | 14:51 |
| AfricAnne | it seems like since it's already installed in windows, it cannot be accessed in ubuntu | 14:51 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: they look fine the way they are. | 14:51 |
| Ziroda1 | unop: okay thank you very much | 14:51 |
| babola2 | AfricAnne: have u tried following Ubuntu Help Center instructions? | 14:51 |
| AfricAnne | shame..im totally lost in using ubuntu.im such a newbie | 14:51 |
| lmosher | Toznoshio: Oh, that's odd.. I'd suggest getting an liveCD of a smaller OS, like core linux or something, that just gives you a command shell. | 14:51 |
| happiness | My english is very poor | 14:52 |
| _paneb | how come i cannot find acroread in synaptic? | 14:52 |
| NetTroller | pajamian okay..thanks..I think some of the things its asking me to change aren't necessary..I'm double checking ..cause the driver isn't working..so I'm going thru and confirming each step ..thanks very much pajamian | 14:52 |
| Toznoshio | lmosher: core linux? I'll google that up, thanks | 14:52 |
| pajamian | lmosher: you mean like the minimal install CD? | 14:52 |
| AfricAnne | yeah...but it didn't work much as the usual on the windows.in windows,there's a usual icon for new network connection.don't we have it in ubuntu? | 14:52 |
| mattwalston | has 8.04 been smooth sailing or a bit rocky? I am debating whether to upgrade now or later. | 14:52 |
| bazhang | happiness, best to /join #ubuntu-cn then | 14:52 |
| lmosher | Toznoshio: I'd also suggest, if it's possible, opening your case and just looking at your graphics card .. It's probably labeled somewhere. | 14:52 |
| babola2 | AfricAnne: System > Help and Support.. on the main page, under Common Questions, click Connecting to the Internet. From there, you should get instructions.. | 14:52 |
| billap | is there any messenger that runs in ubuntu and supports voice? pidgin is not sufficient for me. | 14:52 |
| AfricAnne | thank you so much! | 14:53 |
| mattwalston | billap: skype? | 14:53 |
| Sch1ph3r_ | hi | 14:53 |
| Kinetic | billap which service? | 14:53 |
| billap | yahoo | 14:53 |
| Kinetic | yahoo has a nix client | 14:53 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | billap: GyachE Improved - voice and cam | 14:53 |
| cdecarlo | popey: can you read the show notes and such with hpodder? | 14:53 |
| bazhang | mattwalston, best try the livecd and decide for yourself | 14:53 |
| mattwalston | billap: use yim's | 14:53 |
| billap | i want to talk to my frnds who are also using yahoo | 14:53 |
| pajamian | lmosher: that doesn't say a lot, most cards will have the label of the card manufacturer, but what Linux cares about is the chipset make and manufacturer which is often times different. | 14:53 |
| babola2 | AfricAnne: just ask again if u still have issues | 14:53 |
| lmosher | Toznoshio: Your gfx card should have a manufacturer and a serial number, which you can google. | 14:53 |
| Kinetic | billap: yahoo makes a nix client | 14:53 |
| babola2 | billap: why is pidgin not enough? | 14:53 |
| billap | I tried it many times. | 14:54 |
| fde | babola2: doesn't support voice | 14:54 |
| neXyon | how can I list installed packages starting with linux on the command line? | 14:54 |
| popey | cdecarlo: nah, it's _really_ basic | 14:54 |
| billap | but am unable to install that nix client. | 14:54 |
| lmosher | pajamian: Well you can usually figure it out once you identify the card, but you're correct | 14:54 |
| billap | on my ubuntu box. | 14:54 |
| dougsko | billap: heh irssi and a script using flite | 14:54 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | and it SUX babola ANCIENT no voice no shit | 14:54 |
| popey | cdecarlo: take a look at penguintv - that is quite neat, or miro :) | 14:54 |
| pajamian | NetTroller: good luck | 14:54 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: you know the rools | 14:54 |
| Toznoshio | lmosher: I'll open up the case and look, thanks | 14:54 |
| Dr_willis | !clone | 14:54 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 14:54 |
| NetTroller | thanks..I'll need it | 14:54 |
| ikonia | N1N31NCHN41L5: that language is uncalled for | 14:54 |
| bazhang | !ohmy | N1N31NCHN41L5 | 14:54 |
| ubottu | N1N31NCHN41L5: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 14:54 |
| Prose | sorry to annoy again, but in sources.list all I can do is uncomment lines that either I already have or lines that failed to verify so were auto commented by the installer | 14:54 |
| ikonia | lmosher: not forgot about you - just getting info | 14:54 |
| Prose | so how do I tell apt-get to use a mirror ? | 14:54 |
| Dr_willis | neXyon, check out what the bot said in that !clone factoid. :) its handy. | 14:54 |
| billap | what irssi is a messenger? | 14:55 |
| _paneb | why isn't acroread in synaptic? i am using 8.04 | 14:55 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | DERN - oooops - sorry | 14:55 |
| pajamian | lmosher: I owuld just boot to the ubuntu minimal CD or the alternate install CD (has a rescue mode that is a console linux) and do an lspci from there. | 14:55 |
| AaronMT | Hi, how can I fix Totem Movie Player to stop flickering when I have compiz effects enabled? | 14:55 |
| babola2 | Prose: System > Administration > Software Sources doesnt work? | 14:55 |
| mattwalston | billap: irc client | 14:55 |
| bpat1434 | My laptop monitor after 30 minutes is set to "turn off". When I try to wake the computer, it fails to display any screen. Is there a way I can fix it? I'm using the nVidia (new) drivers. | 14:55 |
| Kinetic | Prose find the mirror you want to use. Paste it into source.list , comment out the other repos in sources.list | 14:55 |
| ncc | thanx bazhang.I'll try and let you know. | 14:55 |
| neXyon | Dr_willis: thx | 14:55 |
| Tu13es | how do I disable system beep when I'm in a ctrl+alt+f1 terminal? | 14:55 |
| Prose | babola2: I am going through ssh | 14:55 |
| billap | oh then i'll do u research on it. | 14:55 |
| billap | thanks | 14:55 |
| kdubois | how do you get mail or mailx to send email via the command line? | 14:55 |
| dougsko | billap: i was kinda joking, but yeah, irssi is the best irc client ever. use it with bitlbee and you can connect to other networks as well. flite is a text to speech app | 14:55 |
| mattwalston | Tu13es: remove the pcspk module | 14:56 |
| babola2 | bpat1434: do u happen to have compiz on? | 14:56 |
| billap | hehehe, that was nice joke. | 14:56 |
| Prose | Kinetic: all righty-o ... otherwise, can I install what I want, through ssh, with a package made for debian I download manually ? | 14:56 |
| billap | thanks buddy. | 14:56 |
| lmosher | ikonia: It's cool. I'm also continuing to check other sources. It looks like the error I'm getting is much more of a symptom, not the problem itself, which is that it's not finding my disks, which is probably related to the sata driver, which is odd. I definately see that others have similar problems, just not my -exact- issue | 14:56 |
| billap | will be back with my research result. | 14:56 |
| Tu13es | mattwalston: module does not exist | 14:56 |
| Kinetic | Prose yes | 14:56 |
| Tu13es | ah, nm | 14:56 |

| ArrPirate | Is there a program somewhere that will let me edit the settings for the screensavers in Ubuntu. | 14:56 |
| ikonia | lmosher: exactly | 14:56 |
| mattwalston | Tu13es: remove the pcspkr module | 14:56 |
| mattwalston | Tu13es: forgot the r | 14:57 |
| ikonia | lmosher: there is an old chipset issue that brings this up | 14:57 |
| lonran | how should i install a 32b lib where a 64b lib is already installed and i want pograms to still use the 64b? | 14:57 |
| lmosher | ikonia: It's just really weird it works in 2.6.22 and not in 2.6.24 | 14:57 |
| _paneb | why isn't acroread in synaptic? i am using 8.04 | 14:57 |
| ikonia | lmosher: it pops back every now and then | 14:57 |
| ikonia | lmosher: assuming its the same bug | 14:57 |
| mattwalston | Tu13es: my preference is not to plug in the pc speaker in the first place ;-) | 14:57 |
| Kinetic | Prose wget <path to package> and then dpkg -i filename.deb | 14:57 |
| Prose | lastly, is there a shell command to see the version of kernel and distro Iam using ? | 14:58 |
| bazhang | _paneb, it is in medibuntu | 14:58 |

| _paneb | bazhang, ah | 14:58 |
| bpat1434 | babola2: not that I know of. I didn't install it manually | 14:58 |
| bazhang | _paneb, add the repos and it will be :] | 14:58 |
| mattwalston | Tu13es: oh, i see, then just modprobe -r pcspkr and set a rule (little fuzzy to me) to make sure mod don't load and next kernel you do, just don't make that module | 14:58 |
| bpat1434 | I have the "enhanced" effects enabled.... so I guess that's compiz | 14:58 |
| _paneb | bazhang, nice thanks. i didn't even know about this repo | 14:58 |
| Tu13es | mattwalston: yeah, I think I can just blacklist it | 14:59 |
| kdubois | pajamian: i've tried that, and it looks like its working, but no email shows up on the other side... | 14:59 |

| babola2 | bpat1434: sorry. was away. why bother with a screensaver? Set it to blank screen and set the monitor to switch off using the power management options | 15:03 |
| bamed | laiya: I don't think VirtualBox will do this, VMWare will let you use a physical partition in place of a virtual hard drive, so it's possible, but all the drivers would be different so I can't tell you how well it will work | 15:04 |
| laiya | bazhang: other actually ... i cant access files in ubuntu thru wifi from other computers in my network .. one being a mac and the rest windows | 15:04 |
| bazhang | laiya, then you may consider samba if it is file-sharing over a network you wish | 15:04 |
| bpat1434 | babola2: okay, but even with that option (as that was the default) I still get the "freezing" effect | 15:04 |

| ferguscan | What's the deal with fonts in ubuntu? I upgraded to Hardy and my fonts look like ass. I tries to change them by way of System->Preferences->Appearance, but I only seem to be able to change a small number of fonts from there. The fonts in application title bars and Gnome panels don't change at all. How can I change these? | 15:31 |

| Pusselgenerator | Tux2K8: I don't think there's a way to accomplish that with wget... use rTorrent | 15:38 |
| Dr_willis | Tux2K8, wget is one step.. wget http://foo.com/whatever.torrent an | 15:38 |

| doug_ | erUSUL: thanks i will try | 16:06 |
| facilitador | a friend give me a DVD | 16:06 |
| jatt | my first thought is mplayer | 16:07 |
| eternal_p | jatt: how so? | 16:07 |
| bazhang | facilitador, best to get ubuntu regular--it is ultimate already :) | 16:07 |
| JjJo_o | anyone free to help? | 16:07 |
| reya276 | weird sounds back, FF bug? | 16:07 |
| jatt | I had lots of issues with totem (the gstreamer version) and mplayer just works fine without any issues for me | 16:07 |
| erUSUL | !ask | JjJo_o | 16:08 |
| bazhang | JjJo_o, please ask away ;] | 16:08 |
| ubottu | JjJo_o: 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. :-) | 16:08 |
| Fawzi1 | bazhang: it seems db2 is not in the partner repository, unless I'm missing another apt source... | 16:08 |
| eternal_p | jatt: linked directly with firefox? | 16:08 |
| JjJo_o | ok thanks. | 16:08 |
| JjJo_o | I installed ubuntu into my vista, but when i boot up i cant choose which bootup. | 16:08 |
| CapaH__ | Are there a lot of updates recently? Update-manager is saying 70+ updates and I thought that was a bit strange | 16:09 |
| fde | !medibuntu > eternal_p (look at what ubottu is going to tell you and get w32codecs from there, along with totem-xine or similar... there is also libdvdcss2 there) | 16:09 |
| jatt | eternal_p: I've never used totem with firefox I've been using mozilla-mplayer all the time | 16:09 |
| === CapaH__ is now known as CapaH | ||
| karllenz_ | now i cannot enable desktop effects i have nvidia card and drive say that its intalled and in use | 16:09 |
| facilitador | I undestarnd bazhang, but is the one problems, I like this because have many applications for educations | 16:09 |
| CapaH | Is it correct that there are this many updates? | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | JjJo_o: sorry never used wubi :| | 16:09 |
| eternal_p | fde: they are already installed | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | !wubi | JjJo_o | 16:09 |
| ubottu | JjJo_o: 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. | 16:09 |
| feld | CapaH__: could be; i saw 70+ when i enabled the pre-release repo | 16:09 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ibm-db2-ubuntu-virtual-appliance Fawzi1 | 16:09 |
| JjJo_o | i installed using wubi. | 16:09 |
| CapaH | how can I know for sure? | 16:09 |
| bazhang | facilitador, you may consider edubuntu addon then :) | 16:10 |
| feld | CapaH__: if the packages are signed with the right GPG key, that's all that matters | 16:10 |
| feld | ie, if your package manager doesnt bark at you, it's likely fine. | 16:10 |
| facilitador | thanks you have reason edubuntu is more adjustament, :-D | 16:10 |
| fde | facilitador: apt-cache search edubuntu will return many packages related to education, pick and choose the packages you want from there :) | 16:11 |
| _nix_ | anybody know wheather archive.ubuntu.com is down? coz all apt is doing is waiting for headers.. | 16:11 |
| erUSUL | _nix_: try another mirror ? | 16:11 |
| fde | facilitador: even better 'apt-cache show edub[tabkey] for a straight forward list | 16:12 |
| bazhang | facilitador, the advantage is the support community here :) | 16:12 |
| _nix_ | oh nvm its working after retrying :) thanks | 16:12 |
| Dianabol | what is gmail's server type SMPT? | 16:12 |
| fde | facilitador: Edubuntu is part of Ubuntu, it is a group dedicated to trying to get Ubuntu into schools. | 16:12 |
| jatt | _nix_: today morning de.archive.ubuntu.com was down... and it seems archive.ubuntu.com is down just right now, not sure if they are related | 16:12 |
| bazhang | karllenz what about alt f2 compiz --replace | 16:12 |
| _nix_ | jatt: ohh.. a dejavu!! there's changing something!! | 16:13 |
| snowblink | any idea how to delete all packages installed from a specific repository? | 16:13 |
| fde | Dianabol: It can do IMAP and POP for reading mail, and SMTP for sending... you must enable it at gmail.com though under settings... | 16:13 |
| facilitador | I see | 16:13 |
| facilitador | I am a teacher | 16:13 |
| fde | Dianabol: It can also receive your mail from other pop accounts you might have (like your ISP for instance maybe) which is handy! | 16:14 |
| Dianabol | fde: for evolution, what do i put in for server configuration? | 16:14 |
| JjJo_o | Should i be installing livecd or the complete installation | 16:14 |
| fde | Dianabol: I choose to use IMAP because it's easier to manage... so I put in 'imap.gmail.com' and turn SSL on, and for sending smtp.gmail.com with SSL again... | 16:14 |
| cannonball | The "Update to LTS" failed because it couldn't download a file so it backed everything out. Is there a quick way to attempt it again? | 16:15 |
| fde | Dianabol: Again, you must enable such things though. | 16:15 |
| cannonball | duh, it's in the gui. never mind. | 16:15 |
| Dianabol | fde: thanks | 16:15 |
| Fawzi1 | bazhang: yes it seems it's available in the gutsy repository, but not on the hardy one (I'm using ubuntu-server version, no synaptic) | 16:15 |
| Dianabol | fde: yea im enabling all those now on my account | 16:15 |
| Vlet | What's the command to take a screenshot in gnome? | 16:15 |
| facilitador | is interesting know that exist a distribution about education, I have many students and need edubuntu, we are few money for windows | 16:15 |
| fde | Vlet: print screen | 16:15 |
| bazhang | Fawzi1, that is odd | 16:15 |
| fde | Vlet: just like in Windows | 16:15 |
| jatt | Vlet: you can use gimp to to take screenshots | 16:16 |
| bazhang | facilitador, and if you have any issues you can come here-->we never sleep :) | 16:16 |
| fde | jatt: kinda overkill for a simple task... heh | 16:16 |
| jatt | fde: I like gimp :) | 16:16 |
| Fawzi1 | bazhang: i know, i had the partner repository in gutsy enabled and installed it last time, can't find it with a new server with hardy | 16:16 |
| Vlet | fde: hmm, and it puts it in the clipboard?... I'm trying to take a screenshot of the dialog box that comes up when you want to change time settings asking for authorization; it almost seems like because that dialog comes up modal, that it's disabling the screenshot functionality. | 16:17 |
| jatt | fde: but yes is an overkill only for screenshots, there is an applet to put in the panel I forgot the name though | 16:17 |
| facilitador | can you send me edubuntu in DVD to my country?....my bandwidth is minimun for download | 16:17 |
| facilitador | can you send me edubuntu in DVD to my country?....my bandwidth is minimun for download it | 16:17 |
| fde | Vlet: hit the prnt scrn key on your keyboard, it pulls up a little app... for one window, it is alt+prnt scrn | 16:17 |
| Pici | !shipit | facilitador | 16:17 |
| bazhang | https://shipit.edubuntu.org/ facilitador | 16:18 |

| bazhang | facilitador, that is the link to visit ;] | 16:18 |
| karllen1 | anyone cant enable desktop effects all drivers are intsalled and in use? | 16:18 |
| Vlet | fde: yep, that's what I thought (just wasn't sure if they changed things a bit in hardy); it seems that the modal auth dialog is preventing the screenshot command from reaching gnome... looks like two bugs in one :) | 16:18 |
| bazhang | karllen1, what about alt f2 compiz --replace | 16:18 |
| karllen1 | bazhang: is that a command>? | 16:19 |
| johnA24 | Hi, I am trying to finish a fresh install of 8.04. I cannot download packages from the repositories. Are the servers having issues or am I experiencing a local problem? | 16:19 |
| facilitador | jejejejej | 16:19 |
| Pici | johnA24: servers having problems | 16:19 |
| bazhang | karllen1, yes | 16:19 |
| fde | Vlet: Let me know the bug # when filed, and I'll try to confirm... | 16:19 |
| facilitador | thanks bazhang many coffee colombiano | 16:20 |
| Dianabol | fde: i enabled IMAP on my gmail account, but cant find SMPT? or no need? | 16:20 |
| bazhang | no problem friend :) | 16:20 |
| fde | Dianabol: nope, no need... | 16:20 |
| karllen1 | bazhang: compiz --replace says Xgl not present | 16:20 |
| Dianabol | fde: thanks :D | 16:21 |
| karllen1 | bazhang: no wishlisted driver present | 16:21 |
| bazhang | karllen1, that is odd; have you checked the proper drivers are in use? you may also wish to ask in #compiz-fusion | 16:21 |
| fde | Dianabol: Cool thing about IMAP though, mail is kept on the server, and you read it from there... that way you don't only get a piece of e-mail in one place, then gone unless you log into the site... pretty nice :) | 16:21 |
| karllen1 | bazhang: ok everything was fine until i started using the damn lcd monitor lol | 16:22 |
| facilitador | thanks bazhang...I from Colombia, :-D | 16:22 |
| radiant | I'm trying to connect to ubuntu on vmware on my local machine via putty, but I keep getting an error saying "network error: connection refused" | 16:22 |
| karllen1 | bazhang: and the drivers seem to be there | 16:22 |
| radiant | anybody know what's wrong? | 16:22 |
| bazhang | facilitador, good luck :) | 16:22 |
| eternal_p | fde: so I installed mplayer :) and I do have my plugins, however totem is still hanging around....however there are no symlinks in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins for totem to remove... | 16:22 |
| fde | Dianabol: Also, if you set up filters on the Gmail site, or within evolution, they will show up in the correct "Label" (folder) on each client! | 16:22 |
| Dianabol | fde: sweet, im logging in now with evolution : | 16:22 |

| radiant | anybody know what's wrong? | 16:25 |
| fde | Vlet: If you've ever used KDE, for instance, it is very possible and I've fallen for it a few times. | 16:25 |
| Dianabol | fde: it tries to detect mail, but i dont get anything in my inbox? | 16:25 |
| sarir | aiuto | 16:25 |
| Prose_ | I dont understand sshfs correctly I think | 16:25 |
| Vlet | fde: ahh hah... makes sense. Perhaps then system hotkeys should be 'above' the modal-ness | 16:26 |
| fde | Dianabol: Try sending something to your gmail account now... and don't look at gmail.com | 16:26 |
| Prose_ | I understand ssh : you have users login as if they are at the keyboard so they open up normal sessions and can even forward x11 | 16:26 |
| legend2440 | eternal_p: mine is set to use qucktime plugin 6.0/7 and works fime. do you have that as a choice? | 16:26 |
| eternal_p | legend2440: that seems to load totem | 16:27 |
| sarir | ok nessuno parla italiano | 16:27 |
| psusi | radiant: you either didn't configure vmware to use an IP address different than the one the host computer is using, or you aren't trying to connect to that one | 16:27 |
| Pici | sarir: type /join #ubuntu-it | 16:27 |

| jessid | i am trying to use qemu but havent been able to make the program to recognize the boot device. Some suggestion??? | 16:28 |

| Dianabol | fde: error while performing operation | 16:28 |
| Aval0n | fde that's not what I', looking for | 16:28 |
| renewip | did /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 16:29 |
| Aval0n | I need more specific | 16:29 |
| renewip | but it did not work | 16:29 |
| legend2440 | eternal_p: mozplugger is a good one to have installed if it isnt already | 16:29 |

| Aval0n | the thing that scares me | 16:29 |
| bpat1182 | How do I add a new panel? | 16:29 |

| Aval0n | i removed the package for mythtv so I could install 21-fixes from source | 16:29 |

| FloodBot3 | renewip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:29 |
| Aval0n | which is wrong | 16:29 |
| Aval0n | renewip damnn man use pastebin | 16:29 |
| radiant | hmmm I'm not sure how to set vmware up so I have a different ip to the host machine? | 16:30 |
| Aval0n | so if I apt-get clean it's gonna remove mysql server | 16:30 |
| Dianabol | fde: does it matter if i used caps for IMAP.gmail.com or SMPT.gmail.com? | 16:30 |
| eternal_p | legend2440: of course now...all buffering seems to stop @ 92% and won't play | 16:30 |
| eternal_p | this is annoying | 16:30 |

| Aval0n | bazhang you must have missed the prior part of the conversation | 16:32 |
| crdlb | or memory | 16:32 |
| eternal_p | legend2440: its loading properly, mplayer seems to just hanging on buffering | 16:32 |

| Pici | Dianabol: smtp | 16:32 |
| Aval0n | all I was looking for was a command to find out what dirs on my hdd were taking the most amount of space, so I could weed through them and delete things. fde said a apt-get clean would free a lot of space. I simply said due to the fact that I removed ubuntu's default mythtv package apt-get things it no longer needs mysql.. so I would want to do that... | 16:33 |
| Dianabol | pici: thanks | 16:33 |
| Pici | Aval0n: Do you need mysql for anything else? | 16:33 |

| Fawzi1 | bazhang: would it be ok to set the partner repository to gutsy and install DB2? would that cause any problems? | 16:37 |
| o0Chris0o | DjDarkstar, I think its more than just that, I think I installed some KDE stuff that I I shouldn't have and its listing a lot of garbage want to see the screen shot | 16:38 |
| legend2440 | eternal_p: for some reason plugins for firefox3 b5 are hard to set up. i thinktotem gets in the way | 16:38 |
| dbe | erUSUL: That command gives me: ls: cannot access /dev/snd/*: No such file or directory | 16:38 |
| bazhang | Fawzi1, I did that with medibuntu and had no errors-->tis not the ubuntu way so do at your own risk :) | 16:38 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Pelo, 4:3 and 800x480 would be the equivalent widescreen | 16:38 |
| eternal_p | legend2440: it does...I actually just moved the whole gstreamer directory out of where it is to get rid of the plugins | 16:38 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | or 1024x600 (ish) | 16:38 |

| Danie2 | floating; Astro Empires | 16:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | erUSUL, QW isn't free though | 16:40 |
| fde | Vlet: I believe the one on the right has been dropped. | 16:40 |
| erUSUL | dbe: uname -a what gives ? | 16:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | um, i don't think grub will allow non-4:3 resolutions, but i can't say for sure | 16:40 |
| Vlet | fde: No, I'm on a pretty clean install of hardy; one is the 'about me' app, the other is the window to manage a specific user in the administrative 'users and groups' applet | 16:40 |

| xomp | can someone help me get my Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) working with Hardy? | 16:41 |
| cinex | xomp | 16:41 |
| Vlet | fde: yeah, it seems like there should be only one place to manage a users' metadata | 16:41 |
| cinex | i jsut got bcm4312 (rev o2) working but I had to compile kernel 2.25.1 | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | dbe: why are you using the 386 version? that version is for ald hard and seems to lack the needed driver... you should be using the default generic kernel | 16:41 |
| * Pelo takes a look at the resolution chart and starts to doubt Pici 's intentions | 16:41 | |
| Daisuke_Laptop | what you can do is create it at 1024x600, and resize to 800x600 (shrinking the image horizontally, not vertically) - which should, when restretched to fill the screen, look pretty much correct | 16:41 |
| Dianora | tell me | 16:42 |

| bpat1182 | ikonia: okay, thanks | 16:42 |
| xomp | cinex, do you have any instructions for that? Or should i switch back to Gutsy since it has an older kernel? | 16:42 |

| facilitador | hello, sorry....I need a game in network for ubuntu | 16:43 |
| Massol | not sudo | 16:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Lacrymology, why would you recommend that? gksudo firefox maybe, but never sudo firefox | 16:43 |
| erUSUL | Lacrymology: bad idea | 16:43 |
| roxahris | argh | 16:43 |
| stevan__ | bazhang: i dont think thats a channel | 16:43 |

| bazhang | stevan__, which one? | 16:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | not unless you want to *really* screw up permissions | 16:43 |
| Lacrymology | Daisuke_Laptop: I didn't recommend it. He asked how to run firefox as root, and I told him how to do it | 16:43 |

| cinex | xomp mine has packet injection - the lot | 16:44 |
| Lacrymology | Daisuke_Laptop: I assume people are ready to take responsibility for their own computers. Also I said "you shouldn't" | 16:44 |
| bazhang | stevan__, iirc = if I recall correctly ;] | 16:44 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Lacrymology, gksu is the proper way to run gui applications as root | 16:44 |
| Vlet | fde: I also agree that the admin should have control over them... seems like combining the application into one applet where the unauthenticated user has control of only metadata and their own pass, but an admin also has access to the privs and advanced tabs... is there a better channel to be asking such question? | 16:44 |
| Pelo | Daisuke_Laptop, someone online asked me to make it for them but I have no way to test it and I can'T get in the code for the related script, so .... I'm just gonna make one try to get it right and sent it to them, the guy told me that the 800x600 one didn'T work for him , I'm jsut taking a shot and changing the background and see what happens , here is hoping | 16:44 |
| xomp | cinex, what is packet injection? Is that for wifi hacking or something? | 16:44 |

| xomp | nice, I could use that actually ;) | 16:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | if it must be done, that would be the way to do it - otherwise he'll probably be peeved that none of his bookmarks or anything else would be available :\ | 16:45 |
| Lacrymology | Daisuke_Laptop: what's the difference, exactly? | 16:45 |

| erUSUL | Lacrymology: which program do you want to upgrade? | 16:45 |
| xomp | cinex, thanks, I'll read that over. | 16:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Lacrymology, sudo uses root preferences, gksu uses the user's preferences - sudo can and will screw up permissions | 16:45 |
| Lacrymology | Daisuke_Laptop: but gksu will run it as his user, and I understand he wants them to be installed for all suers, no? | 16:46 |
| orsi | o0Chris0o, i dont think gnome has kde dependencies, no (doesnt seem logical, at least) | 16:46 |
| Lacrymology | anyways, I think ubuntu's firefox is smart enough to ask you for your password when it needs to be root | 16:46 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | o0Chris0o, no kde in gnome :) | 16:46 |
| cinex | xomp: yeah packet injection is for wifi hacking it is something broadcom dont give you drivers for - it just means my wifi card's functionslity is complete | 16:46 |
| xomp | cinex, oh, so it's a build your own kernel bit then right? | 16:46 |

| xomp | cinex, I'm a total linux noob hah. Do you think it would be easier to just drop back to Gutsy? Wouldn't Gutsy have this kernel? | 16:47 |
| bazhang | facilitador, not sure about network but there is torcs | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | Lacrymology: pretty core package (second to the kernel but more risky to change) upgrading it may be risky ... | 16:47 |
| fde | o0Chris0o: Because it lists all applications in the repo via that tool... although by default only supported apps. | 16:47 |
| cinex | possibly gomp - firstly have you tried ndiswrapper to get it to work ? | 16:48 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 16:48 |

| Lacrymology | I know, but I can't be benchmarking with the old libraries.. | 16:48 |
| cinex | possibly xomp - firstly have you tried ndiswrapper to get it to work ? | 16:48 |
| xomp | cinex, I haven't tried ndiswrapper yet. I don't think the windows drivers for it let me hack wifi | 16:48 |
| Lacrymology | hmm | 16:48 |
| bazhang | http://vdrift.net/Gallery/ or vdrift facilitador | 16:48 |
| fde | o0Chris0o: ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu/xubuntu etc are actually all the same distro, they simply have different default package sets... | 16:48 |
| Charbucks | anyone else having trouble connecting to the repos? I've tried both the main server and the Canadian one, no dice | 16:48 |
| cinex | xomp: nah to hack wifi your gonna need the b43 driver (and the latest kernel) | 16:48 |
| orsi | o0Chris0o, because it is possible to install anything in the repos. because you have the choice ;) | 16:49 |
| xomp | cinex, ok, I think I'll try my luck at compiling that kernel | 16:49 |

| Vlet | Basso: be more specific... where is the folder? | 17:44 |

| tribaldata | guys : Anyone had this issue, once you initiated a reboot from console the server hang and ask for root password for maintenance or hit CTRL-D. | 17:45 |

| Chapai | how do i find out what drivers my wireless card uses? | 17:46 |
| roger21 | it is a thinkpad on intel graphic ship | 17:46 |
| Vlet | Basso: Well, what I prefer to do is create a group called 'webdev', put the www-data group in it, and put your own user in it, then do this: sudo chgrp webdev /var/www && sudo chmod 775 /var/www | 17:46 |
| roger21 | chip | 17:46 |
| Vlet | Basso: www-data is the user/group through which apache runs | 17:46 |
| Basso | ahhhh | 17:47 |
| iRelinquish | chapai run lspci | 17:47 |
| Vlet | Basso: BUT it can be a security risk sometimes to give apache write permissions to the web root, so maybe you shouldn't put www-data in that group actually | 17:47 |
| iRelinquish | and you can find the chipset | 17:47 |

| Basso | whats the "delete command" :P | 17:51 |

| ikaruga2099 | sipior: ok, so to confirm, I need pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, and trustdb.pgp ? | 17:51 |
| ikaruga2099 | sipior: I also have a file "pubring.kbx" ... do I need that? | 17:51 |
| sipior | ikaruga2099: i don't know about that last. perhaps you could try copying the whole directory... | 17:52 |
| doon | rodolfo, are you looking at stuff that uses flash? | 17:52 |
| rodolfo | doon: but I am and to be honest it looks like it's getting even worse | 17:52 |

| Zoohouse | Hello everyone | 18:30 |
| fiyawerx | timposey, i think its in autofs | 18:31 |
| doon | well, unop fiyawerx, that's what i mean, i wanted to use a single mount point for mounting all images instead of constantly creating new directories | 18:31 |
| fiyawerx | doon, well you can't have 2 mounted to the same place at the same time | 18:31 |
| unop | doon, you can only mount one device per mount point | 18:31 |
| o0Chris0o | how do I edit my menu when I select on any picture to have it stay Put as Wallpaper or whatever | 18:31 |
| Steve2509 | .c | 18:32 |
| doon | fiyawerx, unop, okay, i was just wondering if mount would just kick the currently mounted image automatically, that would be cool | 18:32 |
| fiyawerx | doon, not if you had unsaved data to it it wouldn't | 18:32 |
| doon | yeaaaaah, ture | 18:32 |
| unop | doon, no, that would be very reckless of mount | 18:32 |
| CShadowRun | What was the name of the thing thats similar to dreamscene? | 18:32 |

| starcannon | Romi that computer should run a liveCD just fine, you have more than enough power for that, what I would suggest on the Hardy install CD is to press F4 at the CD's Boot Menu choose safe graphics mode, then select "install ubuntu" or "try ubuntu" from the main menu, I think that may get you rolling, but you definitely can run a live cd just fine with that machine, may need to choose some Fkey options on main menu is all | 18:45 |

| starcannon | bruce-d if the files are on a network samba, if they are on the same computer that dual boots, just make a little fat16 or fat32 partition to pass files through | 19:19 |
| Shadow420 | bruce-d well or use a 1GB or higher usb jumpdrive | 19:19 |

| Christian | starcannon, Downloading the full cd doesn't have a live cd option? | 19:34 |
| fde | righdforsa: yes... System > Administration > Software Sources at the bottom of the first tab | 19:34 |

OK, now I can ssh from the ubuntu box onto the tower like this "ssh dmb@localhost -p 2022" (my user is 'dan' on the ubuntu box), howeve | 19:40 |

| xborgy | and it shows 2 floppys too | 19:45 |
| jjgalvez | xborgy: I've got two but only use one | 19:45 |
| jjgalvez | xborgy: just not sure what to actually link to really | 19:45 |
| dany_21a | faceface: and the fuse option "-d" (debug) | 19:45 |
| xborgy | link to the /media | 19:45 |
| faceface | OK | 19:46 |
| dany_21a | faceface: but always umount prior remounting | 19:46 |
| SoulStealer | Damenhth : add this in xorg.conf in the screen section === > Option "Ignore EDID" "1" | 19:46 |
| xborgy | this is what it does for me defult when i place a cd in the drive it mounts it to desktop ICON drive and inside /mdeia | 19:46 |

| rangef1nder | thanks you | 19:48 |
| starcannon | stepping out to pollute myself bbs | 19:48 |
| joaopinto | JuJuBee, there is no such utility | 19:48 |
| JuJuBee | k | 19:48 |
| jjgalvez | xborgy: as far as I know media is where ubuntu mounts stuff | 19:48 |
| faceface | dany_21a, amazing :-D | 19:48 |
| faceface | dany_21a, I was trying to mount a non existent remote dir | 19:48 |
| fde | xborgy: They are FHS standards... /mnt for hard drives, /media for temporary devices... you don't HAVE to abide by them, but generally the OS will. | 19:48 |
| faceface | no error output, just silently borked | 19:48 |
| xborgy | yes i noticed that but it didnt automount my 2 RAID drives had to do it manually | 19:48 |
| Damenheth | SoulStealer: okay, here it goes. | 19:48 |

| starcannon | dewbug any time | 19:58 |
| Glover | I just ran sudo make install on some source code, and now I don't have the "rights" to delete it. Huh? | 19:58 |

| Retro_ | How can I install awn-extras in Hardy? | 20:00 |
| jjgalvez | xborgy: should be - not sure | 20:00 |
| rambo3 | !find awn-extras | 20:00 |
| akh3n4t0n | Glover, the "installation" needs administrative privileges [given at "sudo make install" by "sudo"]; so.. the "installed" files are owned by administrator [aka "root"] | 20:00 |
| ubottu | Package/file awn-extras does not exist in hardy | 20:00 |
| dewbug | starcannon: I still like debian over ubuntu for the server side not just desktop side, I could hardly ever get my drivers workin on there, aloong with the wireless | 20:00 |
| Vlet | adelejjeh: so the installer went through the whole process of building the kernel module and everything? | 20:00 |

| akh3n4t0n | jco, and i don't think you should recompile anything; the default kernel on 8.04 should use all of your 4GB if your mainboard, chipset and bios support 4GB addressing | 20:21 |

| Mathman | gronne: ubuntu is ubuntu really. kubuntu just comes with some different defaults | 21:10 |
| Y-Town | sasuke_: gnome or kde? | 21:10 |
| fde | sasuke_: KDE tends to attract more C++ developers, Gnome tends to attract more C developers and software purists due to the affiliation with GNU... both are pretty nice, but Gnome gets more backing commercially, and tends to be more user friendly. | 21:10 |

| Mathman | gronne: nah, by all means give kde a spin. as I said, you don't need to install kubuntu to do so. ha, or maybe I tried to say that anyway. at any rate, apt-get kde-desktop or some nonsense | 21:12 |
| ZootAllures | xborgy: yes | 21:12 |
| gronne | Ok, Mathman, I'll see if I may give it a go | 21:12 |

| xborgy | my card has dual monitor on one card | 21:12 |
| ReleaseX | When I try to open dialog boxes e.g. Save As... in Firefox, or Save as in gEdit, The particular program I am using will freeze. It will eventually get back to a working state, but it usually takes about 20-30 seconds before it does. Anyone have any ideas as to why this would happen? | 21:13 |
| ZootAllures | xborgy: thanks for considering things and thinking | 21:13 |
| Y-Town | gronne: I moved the top menu to the bottom and did some simple mods...Look and feel is great now... easy to understand and navigate | 21:13 |
| xborgy | ZootAllures: not a prob at all buddy | 21:13 |
| Bodsda | digital00, is your audio card detected? | 21:13 |
| fde | Vlet: Well that's why then... heh... only the official ones are down in some areas. | 21:13 |
| digital00 | hypa7ia: I've already spent it at all..i didnt find solutions | 21:13 |
| Vlet | fde: ahh :( | 21:13 |
| Mathman | ReleaseX: you have 10 million things in your home directory? | 21:13 |
| digital00 | Bodsda: no...its not detected! thats the problem.. | 21:13 |
| hypa7ia | digital00: i can't help you right now but knwo that the solution is out there :) | 21:13 |
| fde | Vlet: Not down, but _extremely_ slow | 21:13 |
| Bodsda | digital00, oh,.,. not sure -- sorry | 21:14 |
| xborgy | digital00: which sound card? | 21:14 |
| gronne | Y-Town: yeah I took it down quite fast too :) Guess I'm too used with windows I got annoyed it wasn't down there all the time! | 21:14 |
| digital00 | xborgy: hdaintel | 21:14 |
| xborgy | digital00: which sound card? and which distro are you on? | 21:14 |
| digital00 | xborgy: hdaintel on hardy 8.04 | 21:14 |

| sarah2 | If I cat /dev/video0 with my webcam plugged in I get garbage. When I cat /dev/video0 with webcam not plugged in I get file not found. When I turn on Camorama it says it cannot find video. I have an old logitech webcam. Help! | 21:16 |

| RabidWeezle | in compiz, how can I set multiple desktops? | 21:17 |
| Vlet | sarah2: well, if you cat it, you should get garbage - by doing so, you're taking data from your camera and sending it to the terminal, at least that's my understanding of what you're doing | 21:17 |
| RabidWeezle | I tried to in the compiz manager, and the slider to add more desktops wouldn't move | 21:17 |
| Glover | I try to run sudo gedit ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager so I can set USE_EMERALD="yes" but that's not the right path...doesn't anyone know what file I should edit? | 21:17 |
| digital00 | xborgy: yeah its not nice to read ;D | 21:18 |
| sarah2 | vlet, yes, getting garbage is good, that means it is recognizing it. however, camorama does not recognize that the camera is plugged in. | 21:18 |
| bran_damage | RabidWeezle: if are also doing Cube then you can not add desktops | 21:18 |
| nkriz | i need to find the name of an external hard drive plugged in to my comp via usb. is there a command or place i can search for it? | 21:18 |

| digital00 | xborgy: yes its already installed in hardy.. | 21:19 |

| mnemo | synaptic shows this error message when I try to install updates --> http://rafb.net/p/dIPtQS15.html anyone else seen this? how can I fix it? | 21:19 |
| Vlet | sarah2: there must be some setting somewhere for camorama... it's probably looking for /dev/somethingwacky0 and you have to change it | 21:20 |
| sarah2 | yeah, probably... the thing is with my other ubuntu install it recongized it instantly. | 21:20 |
| sarah2 | i'll poke around | 21:21 |
| xborgy | digital00: you do have it enabled in yoru BIOS right? | 21:21 |
| fde | Vlet: cat /dev/foo would send info from that device to stdin... when you pipe it, you're sending the info from stdout to another place. | 21:21 |
| digital00 | xborgy: i dont know..i think yes..do you know a way to show it? | 21:21 |
| fde | Vlet: Most command usage is 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp' which will make it sound like static out of your speakers if it's working. | 21:22 |
| xborgy | digital00: Ubuntu Hardy should automaticly find that card no problem at all unless it is disabled in your BIOS | 21:22 |
| stdin | ^ if you do that, press Ctrl-C to stop it | 21:22 |
| sarah2 | man says the default is /dev/video0 | 21:22 |

| heartsblood | has anybody here ever mounted a hfsplus volume with write permissions? | 21:24 |
| cinex | Rorgo: you could possibly echo the first chunk inot a new file then echo in the insert then echo in the rest? | 21:24 |
| MNZ | hi. I've a strange problem with ubuntu. It locks up randomly. Nothing works, no keyboard, mouse, or anything at all. I can either reset the pc or wait a few mins and it gets back to normal. How do I go about debugging this? | 21:25 |
| MNZ | I've used linux before and never had this problem | 21:25 |
| Rorgo | cinex: yeah I could i guess, but thats more messy than I was hoping for ;) | 21:25 |
| ompaul | MNZ, got another box to ssh into that one? | 21:25 |
| cinex | Rorgo: messy ? code it well lol | 21:25 |
| _0xf001 | would sudo apt-get install xchat install xchat as root? | 21:25 |
| Rorgo | I was hoping for some slick sed command or something | 21:26 |
| fde | heartsblood: you have hfsplus installed? try 'man hfsplus' and typing '/mount' | 21:26 |
| cinex | i cant fathom sed | 21:26 |
| Cyberai | I'm having a problem connecting to Undernet after moving to a new home. My xchat gets stuck at "Found your hostname". Sometimes (rarely) it does connect, but then is stuck. I can't join any channels or anything. | 21:26 |
| MNZ | ompaul, no but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to ssh into it anyway. It's a complete lock up. no response of any kind | 21:26 |
| patifa | _0xf001: the install process will take place with root, but the resulting application isn't limited to root using it | 21:26 |
| _0xf001 | patifa; ty for info | 21:27 |
| fde | Rorgo: Might ask in #bash | 21:27 |
| doon | so how well does ubuntu run in windows? how does it page file? is it considerably slower/limited usability? | 21:27 |
| === ninja is now known as emo_ninja | ||
| ompaul | MNZ, guessing does not help if you are in a total lockup you need to see if you externally work the machine - with ssh - if not then you most likely got some bad hardware (ram would be my guess) | 21:27 |
| HeXeN^ | hello to all | 21:27 |
| TheCreationist | doon: I assume you're referring to using the Wubi installer? | 21:27 |
| HeXeN^ | first day at ubuntu skool | 21:27 |
| doon | yeah TheCreationist | 21:27 |
| heartsblood | fde, yes I can mount the device fine, but I get a message in dmesg saying "hfs: write access to a jounaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only." Even when I use sudo mount -o remount rw /media/mac it mounts readonly. | 21:28 |
| ompaul | doon, once it has installed it runs as itself on ntfs | 21:28 |
| doon | TheCreationist, I'm thinking of getting rid of linux partition altogether | 21:28 |
| TheCreationist | doon: I installed it without problems and it ran very smoothly. Only slightly slower than a regular install. | 21:28 |
| fde | doon: simple answer: it doesn't ... it will use part of your Windows partition as a virtual drive if you use Wubi, but you will have to boot to it to use it. | 21:28 |
| TheCreationist | doon: If you already have the Linux partition, why get rid of it? | 21:28 |
| EthanL | Anyone know why nothing happens in Kopete when I try to send/recieve webcam? | 21:28 |
| heartsblood | fde, the thing is I can't find information about the "force option" even in the detailed section of FStype options no mention of hfs+ or a 'force' option for normal hfs | 21:28 |

| Creationist | doon: Games is the only reason I keep Windows. | 21:30 |

| Winkie | it doesn't seem to be correctly subscribing to the IGMP group as the traffic never reaches me | 21:32 |

| cinex | Rorgo: that's awsome. I must learn sed... | 21:32 |
| Taejo | since upgrading to hardy a few hours ago, my sound doesn't work (in Amarok, mplayer, "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp") though my terminal (urxvt) still beeps. any ideas? | 21:32 |
| sirus12 | Thanks | 21:32 |
| Danish989 | Hi, all | 21:32 |
| ompaul | sirus12, there are thousands of channels it will disconnect you | 21:32 |
| Winkie | Taejo: /dev/dsp is OSS, you should be using alsa | 21:32 |

| Winkie | Taejo: check the output of aplay -L (iirc) | 21:32 |
| wubrgamer | like a bunch of jpgs stiched together to make a short video | 21:32 |
| doon | Creationist, yeah i know, i didn't go into depth on what the isos were, i just had to learn how to mount them | 21:32 |
| wubrgamer | like of starts moving around at night | 21:32 |
| wubrgamer | or the moon actually | 21:33 |
| MrDowntempo | Is there a purely GTK GUI way to edit your fstab file? | 21:33 |
| Winkie | Taejo: ah it's `aplay -l` to get a card list | 21:33 |
| wubrgamer | MrDowntempo: gedit | 21:33 |
| Winkie | MrDowntempo: use GEdit? :) | 21:33 |
| Rafase282 | whats the application for run virtual machies that came with the new ubuntu? | 21:33 |
| sirus12 | Oh I see, bit annoying that. Whats a good server? | 21:33 |
| wubrgamer | Winkie: great minds think alike | 21:33 |
| Creationist | Rafase282: Use VirtualBox | 21:33 |
| Winkie | wubrgamer: use gvim :D | 21:33 |
| Taejo | Winkie: I've got two devices there | 21:33 |
| wubrgamer | gvim? | 21:33 |
| Winkie | Taejo: i assume `mplayer -ao alsa file.mp3` doesn't work? | 21:33 |

| _0xf001 | im having problems connecting with apt-get is there a way to change the mirror? | 21:34 |
| wubrgamer | what's the open source equiv of windows movie maker? | 21:34 |
| doon | MrDowntempo, sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 21:34 |
| fde | Rafase282: OpenVZ ... but there are many other vitual machine managers also | 21:34 |
| fde | wubrgamer: kino | 21:34 |
| Winkie | MrDowntempo: really there is no requirement for any sort of extensive GUI | 21:34 |
| evand | Danish989: check to see if there are errors on your Windows filesystem (start -> run -> cmd -> chkdsk C: /F /R (yes on reboot), reboot windows twice, then boot Ubuntu. | 21:34 |
| doon | MrDowntempo, you should make a backup before messing with it though | 21:34 |
| Winkie | the fstab is simple and that sort of editing is relatively 'normal' | 21:34 |
| Rafase282 | i have only used vmware | 21:34 |

| Winkie | Taejo: the mute command in alsamixer is 'm' | 21:34 |
| Winkie | or you mean you can't navigate to it? | 21:35 |
| amirman84 | hey, i read in a thread somewhere that using the medibuntu repo can cause problems when upgrading, is that true? should i remove it and find another way to enable DVD playback? | 21:35 |
| fde | Rafase282: VMWare have a Linux version... | 21:35 |
| xborgy | digital00: ? | 21:35 |
| Danish989 | evand: I already ran chkdsk /r on every harddisk and apparently that's not the problem | 21:35 |
| MrDowntempo | Winkie: Oh I know. I'm familiar with manually making my own fstab file. I just wondered if there was a gtk menu sorta way to do it cuz I like to try new stuff | 21:35 |
| evand | Danish989: Failing that, at busybox type cat /casper.log -> shift page up through it and look for anything that resembles an error, then file a bug at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug | 21:35 |
| Rafase282 | i know | 21:35 |
| Rafase282 | but it is not free | 21:35 |
| snarkste1 | wassup.. I have a bunch of mpgs that Id like to combine into one movie.. Anyone got any clues as to how to do that? | 21:35 |

| Danish989 | evand: also try cat /casper.log, it says file not found | 21:35 |
| doon | MrDowntempo, you can just do sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup to back it up | 21:35 |
| Taejo | Winkie: thanks, everything's working now | 21:35 |
| Winkie | MrDowntempo: oh fair enough, nothing i'm aware of | 21:35 |

| r0bby | or select View -> Zoom | 21:38 |
| Winkie | proq: the package name? | 21:38 |
| evand | Danish989: ok, try hitting escape when you see the grub countdown, then e and e again on the kernel line. Remove 'quiet splash' from the end and boot. That should give you a more verbose display when booting. Look for error messages in that. | 21:38 |
| Rafase282 | well lets start first with which one came with the new ubuntu | 21:38 |
| glyx | no i mean more clearly. it looks a little bit blurred. | 21:38 |
| proq | Winkie: yeah, or the tool's name | 21:38 |
| Creationist | gronne: You're actually comparing Hitler to Creationism? lol | 21:38 |
| Rafase282 | then which one is better and easy to use | 21:38 |
| fde | proq: zcat? | 21:38 |
| bran_damage | Rafase282: sudo apt-get install kvm virt-manager libvirt-bin | 21:38 |
| loxley_ | Creationist: and so is xmms2 | 21:38 |
| wubrgamer | there is one called stopmotion, anyone used stopmotion before? | 21:38 |
| Winkie | proq: you are probably wanting zcat | 21:38 |
| Winkie | oh fde beat me :) | 21:38 |
| Rafase282 | cuz i dont knwo anythign about that, i create everythign with vmware so i dont know how to do it manually | 21:38 |
| glyx | i ve got hardy installed. | 21:38 |
| Danish989 | evand: someone told me to replace quiet splash with 'all_generic_ide" instead, and told me that would make it boot .. what do you think? | 21:38 |
| gronne | Creationist: Both are being provocative, that's what I compare | 21:38 |
| Rafase282 | updating sources | 21:39 |
| Danish989 | evand: I haven't tried it yet, but do you think that would work? | 21:39 |
| Winkie | Rafase282: Virtualbox is very nice | 21:39 |
| Rafase282 | hold on | 21:39 |
| Creationist | gronne: Should I go complain to the developers of Evolution? | 21:39 |
| Sunx | i get this error Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. for upgrading to 8.04 | 21:39 |
| vlt | Hello. Has anyone an idea why even after adding "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE" still packets with a local src IP 192.168.*.* are leaving ppp0? | 21:39 |
| Creationist | gronne: Or Gimp for making fun of the disabled? | 21:39 |

| ichabooka | i'm having issues with network connectivity. i'm using ubuntu, kernel 2.6.24-17-generic. my connection comes up for a few minutes, then goes down, then comes back up, etc. any idea what i should be looking for to fix this? thanks | 21:39 |

| evand | Danish989: I don't think all_generic_ide will help you here, but you're welcome to try that. | 21:39 |
| cl0s | is anybody else having that problem in nautilus on 8.04 where its not connecting to any FTP or SFTP servers? | 21:39 |
| cl0s | it just hangs, I used to do it all the time... | 21:39 |
| Winkie | vlt: that's interesting, that shouldn't be happening, how are you debugging this? | 21:39 |
| Starnestommy | vlt: it's the -o ppp0 in the command | 21:39 |
| PaRaSiTe2 | Anyone here on dial-up then? I know about !dialup etc, I'm just having problems with my modem. | 21:39 |
| Danish989 | evand: Ok, I'll try both adding all_generic_ide and if that doesn't work, I'll remove quiet splash and tell you the errors I get .. | 21:40 |
| Winkie | Starnestommy: really? I'm pretty sure i've specified the outbound interface | 21:40 |
| vlt | Winkie: tcpdump | 21:40 |
| evand | Danish989: much appreciated | 21:40 |
| [T]an1 | can anyone recommend an easy to use firewall/router/dhcp server for a linux n00b? played with iptables and looked at smoothwall... not sure if smoothwall will cut it. however i set up iptables, I made everything really slow | 21:40 |
| Winkie | vlt: i'm not sure tcpdump will be able to get the actual details, check the packet count increases on the specific rule, and try SNAT instead of MASQUERADE | 21:40 |
| Sunx | tan: firestarter | 21:40 |
| zicu | how can i change workspaces with a button? | 21:40 |
| fde | [T]an1: ufw is supposed to be very easy to get your head around... for a gui there is firestarter | 21:40 |
| gronne | Evolution is supported by science at least... Gimp probably doesn't really refer to it but Creationist is pretty straight-forward provocative | 21:41 |
| Winkie | ctrl + alt + right/left | 21:41 |
| vlt | Winkie: The counter doesn't increase for those packets. | 21:41 |
| chris_420 | how would i go about putting all the ISO's that mondo archive creates(for backup reasons) onto a USB thumbdrive to keep the space on my hardrive free? or is it even possible? | 21:41 |

| bran_damage | Rafase282: See link on KVM at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekhardy/Virtualization | 21:41 |
| Winkie | vlt: that's interesting, is your rule only -o ppp0? because i guess it's not matching | 21:41 |
| [T]an1 | looking it up now, thanks | 21:41 |
| Rafase282 | ok | 21:41 |
| vlt | Winkie: Yes, "-o ppp0". | 21:41 |
| chris_420 | i mean like what argument would i give mondoarchive | 21:41 |
| Winkie | vlt: let me check a router i have with this on | 21:41 |

| TalibJayid | i am having a problem after changing from alsa to oss4 with deskbar-applet not working | 21:42 |
| Winkie | vlt: ah it appears this guy is offline too, so i can't check for you i'm afraid | 21:42 |
| MNZ | ompaul, will just pinging do to see if it's is alive? | 21:42 |
| totocool | with cfdisk i don`t see the memori after the formt | 21:42 |

| Starnestommy | ervis: it's a matter of personal opinion. Try both and see which works best for you | 21:43 |
| Creationist | gronne: Just so happens, there's plenty of SCIENTIFIC evidence to support an intelligent designer as well. This topic belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic and will continue there if you want. | 21:43 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: you need to use the alsa->ossv4 wrapper. | 21:43 |
| ompaul | MNZ, as a starting point it might if the TCP stack is still there to talk with | 21:43 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: how do i do that sir? | 21:43 |
| chris_420 | hmmm okay... will ttyl i found my answer thanks ya'll peace | 21:43 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: i have to use oss4 because i need x-fi support | 21:43 |
| Winkie | Creationist: there isn't, but i'm going to join that for a laugh | 21:43 |
| chris_420 | gnome owns | 21:43 |

| majikins | hi everyone | 21:44 |
| ttom | can anyone help me? | 21:44 |
| majikins | I managed to get the hardy repository from someone | 21:44 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: it locks my entire system when i use their driver | 21:44 |
| majikins | 21 gigs | 21:44 |
| Sunx | when is a good time to do update to 8.04 via internet from 7.10? | 21:44 |
| totocool | any ideas why does that happens like thos | 21:44 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: the latest beta? | 21:44 |
| totocool | ? | 21:44 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: 1.18 yes:( | 21:44 |
| majikins | now I'm trying to edit the sources list to look locally | 21:45 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: in any case, read the mailing list archive for oss-devel | 21:45 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: there is a wrapper for oss4 to have alsa compatibility? | 21:45 |
| majikins | but I'm running into problems | 21:45 |
| majikins | I get errors for the deb-src entries | 21:45 |
| ttom | I just recently installed 8.04 and when I try and stream views or music from like imeem and youtube the video or music never loads anyone else having problems lkethat? | 21:45 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: yes. | 21:46 |
| vlt | Winkie: It's not hard for me to reproduce: A machine in the 192.168.1.0/24 LAN sends out packets via the gateway router. ip_forward is enabled there but no SNAT yet. Then I add the MASQ rule I posted above ... but the packets are still sent out with 192.* src IP. Is this expected behaviour? | 21:46 |
| mad_max02 | I get an error in mplayer: Too many video packets in the buffer: (48 in 8391306 bytes). What does that mean ?? | 21:46 |
| quentin_ | Morning. I've just installed Hardy and got my dual monitors working with TwinView. I've enabled the maximum in desktop effects - but is there a command so I can find out what WM I'm running ? Is it Compiz or the default Gnome ? | 21:46 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: similar to what alsa-lib provides through plugins | 21:46 |
| majikins | can anyone help me understand this? | 21:46 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: oh, do you know if its available in rpms? | 21:46 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: ...rpms? likely, but I don't know. | 21:46 |
| Rafase282 | so kvm comes with the new ubuntu | 21:46 |
| Rafase282 | lets try that out | 21:46 |
| majikins | I'm not sure the whole repository was compied | 21:46 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: i mean, what is the wrapper called | 21:47 |
| xenomorph99 | Hi. I have an installation of Ubuntu 8.04 on an HDD and I have installed Xubuntu to an IDE compact flash that uses some /var and /tmp partitions on the HDD. I haven't let the installer loose with grub just in case it screwed up my current install so can anyone tell me how to post install grub? | 21:47 |
| [T]an1 | firestarter have a web admin? or is it gtk? | 21:47 |
| Winkie | vlt: as far as I know it isn't, my iptables experience is more commercial but MASQ should ensure outbound packets are SNATted to the interface's address | 21:47 |
| Vlet | quentin_: if you've enabled the max, then when you move windows, they should be wobbly afaik | 21:47 |
| Starnestommy | [T]an1: gtk gui | 21:47 |
| quentin_ | Vlet, correct. | 21:47 |
| crimsun | TalibJayid: there are at least two ways. You can use ossv4's, or you can use alsa-lib's. | 21:47 |
| quentin_ | I believe that's Compiz, is that right ? | 21:47 |
| [T]an1 | so i need x | 21:47 |
| [T]an1 | crap | 21:47 |
| TalibJayid | crimsun: well, i don't think i can use alsa's because im using oss4 modules | 21:47 |
| vlt | Winkie: I'll try to replace it by an SNAT rule and see. | 21:47 |
| vlt | Winkie: Thank you. | 21:48 |

| xenomorph99 | I tried the grub howto - it manages to grub-install itself to the wrong partition | 21:50 |
| quentin_ | Vlet, they are indeed wobbly. I'm just wanting to confirm that's Compiz before I go looking for Compiz themes and realise it isn't Compiz that's running, which would be a slight waste of time :P | 21:50 |

| TalibJayid | http://pastebin.ca/1009736 | 21:51 |
| quentin_ | Vlet, well, no. It could be using Gnome as the window manager and Gnome might have these shiny effects. OR, once I set it to "shiny effects", it might have switched to Compiz as my window manager. Is there any way I can find out which WM is running ? | 21:52 |
| Vlet | quentin_: on a mac at the moment, so I can't try, but I think if you use gconf editor to set /apps/gwd/use_metacity_theme to false then restart gdm it may do the trick | 21:52 |
| Warrior-- | What should i do to back those lost 5 GBs ? | 21:52 |
| jjgalvez | Warrior--: looks like the HD image is still around, you may have to delete it manually - but its just a guess | 21:52 |

| pioto | i just decided to install ubuntu's grub on a partition, rather than the mbr | 21:55 |
| Warrior-- | Ccna i see the partiotion table in Windows ? | 21:55 |
| pioto | but i decided now i want ubuntu to be the one on the mbr | 21:55 |
| Warrior-- | Can i see the partiotion table in Windows ? | 21:55 |

| Freeaqingme | all of a sudden, I'm getting a grub error 17. I didn't do anything remarkable, what could be possibly wrong? My menu.lst is filled correctly (at least it looks that way). But the menu of grub (at boot time) shows only 1 item titled 'LINUX' | 21:58 |

| lmosher | bpat1434, This is a big issue, there's tons of stuff that can cause this. For me it was my network, but it can be something totally different. Best bet is to note the time when you suspend, then wait a bit and try to resume. Then reboot when it fails and look in /var/log/syslog | 21:58 |

| mcisbackuk | Anyone know how to setup folder sharing across a network, I've tried the right click and share thing, and all I'm getting is | 22:52 |
| mcisbackuk | 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied - You do not have permission to create a userhare. Ask administrator....etc..... | 22:52 |
| proq | yeahok: do you need flash or large memory bounds? | 22:52 |
| yeahok | proq: could you be a little more specific? | 22:52 |
| mophead | yahooshua: I mean in the sense that when the caps lock light is on I get lowercase, and when it's off I get UPPERCASE. Is there a way to fix that? | 22:52 |

| proq | yeahok: are you going to need any 64-bit math like blender renders? | 22:52 |
| Vlet | patifa: no, vlc doesn't like it, btu if I connect to it first in a regular nautilus window using the address box, I can THEN select the remembered location in the open file dialog in vlc... seems bug-ish/crappy :) | 22:52 |
| yeahok | proq: you mean adobe flash? yes. large memory bounds? no | 22:53 |
| proq | yeahok: go 32-bit then | 22:53 |
| yeahok | proq: thanks | 22:53 |
| soundray | yeahok: 64bit is advantageous if you use memory-I/O intensive applications like video encoding | 22:53 |
| vbman11 | Nexuiz won't stay full screen!! | 22:53 |
| yeahok | soundray: is only that some applications take advantage of it? | 22:53 |
| yeahok | is it* | 22:53 |
| vbman11 | Nexuiz won't stay full screen!! any known fixes? | 22:53 |
| fde | yeahok: You should probably stick to i386 | 22:54 |
| Gerinych | my num/caps/scroll lock lights don't light up in ubuntu but they do in vista | 22:54 |
| mcisbackuk | Sharing folders wont work what's this mean? 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied | 22:54 |
| mcisbackuk | You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. | 22:54 |
| soundray | yeahok: no, almost all applications take advantage. It's just too small to notice it in everyday use | 22:54 |
| yahooshua | QUESTION: every time I log on to pigin I get "NickServ: (notice) The nickname [yahooshua] is not registered" | 22:54 |

| nubbie_ | Aval0n: it is an init service... ie. /etc/init.d/lm-sensors i belive | 23:15 |
| crashanddie | jrib, yeah, we need it to develop on a special device that runs a Java runtime | 23:15 |
| morten__ | anyone have a command that show last actions on the system. got to find out what a hotkey triggers.... | 23:15 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| cosmodad | mortal_: $HOME/.bash_history has some. | 23:15 |
| nubbie_ | morten__: or you could just tell us what the hotkey you pressed was... | 23:16 |
| jrib | crashanddie: I think you'll only find 1.5 and 1.6 in the recent releases. If sun, still has 1.4 on their site, you can use that. You'll be circumventing the package manager though. They have instructions on their site (let me know if you can't find them) | 23:16 |
| proq | echosa: do you get errors when you run the command "sudo apt-get install firefox"? | 23:16 |
| crashanddie | jrib, ok, will do | 23:16 |
| zChris | anyone with a MX1000 and have gotten all the buttons to work CORRECTLY ? | 23:16 |
| echosa | Figured it out (I think). It was an aptitude problem. I must have deleted something that aptitude needs to install, because apt-get installed it just fine. | 23:17 |
| dushich | #ubuntu-ru | 23:17 |
| echosa | proq: no, no errors | 23:17 |
| morten__ | an email-button on the top of my keyboard. its an ferrari 1005. want to find out where i can trigger the LED on the button | 23:17 |
| Jezz` | can my hardware be damaged if i set a too high refresh rate manually? | 23:17 |
| sukuri | I noticed that I had to clear the installation of the mp3 codec. Is that codec patented by someone and not allowed to be used by others? And if so, are there any /legal/ implementations of the mp3 codec? | 23:17 |
| doug_ | html_devilx: not sure if this is same as u but i found this in the logs http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-April/119887.html | 23:17 |
| nubbie_ | Jezz`: yes. | 23:17 |
| Jezz` | :o | 23:17 |
| Christian | Jack_Sparrow, Thank you. | 23:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:17 |
| echosa | proq: but I got it fixed with apt-get --reinstall (aptitude wasn't giving any errors, and looked like it was installing fine, but really wasn't doing anything) | 23:17 |
| Jezz` | oh so i should stick to the ubuntu default then | 23:17 |
| Aval0n | Adapter: ISA adapter | 23:17 |
| Aval0n | Core 0: +54.0°C | 23:17 |
| Jezz` | but its killing my eyes | 23:17 |
| s3a | i did sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome and now i dont no how to go to another channel (i want to go to #chemistry) | 23:17 |
| Aval0n | that my cpu temp atm? | 23:17 |
| nubbie_ | Jezz`: read the specs on your display and video card and stay within those boundaries. | 23:17 |
| Jezz` | eh | 23:18 |
| cosmodad | my laptop occasionally freezes when I try to play a video after returning from suspend-to-RAM. Anyone know how to fix this? (I'm using the intel i810 video driver) | 23:18 |
| Jezz` | where can i find that? | 23:18 |
| soundray | Jezz`: only very old hardware can get damaged that way (~15 years or more) | 23:18 |
| ricanelite | well i think and hopefully got it the audacity that is already on the package manager is 1.3 which is still in beta form so I went over to audacity website and downloaded 1.2 and so far it is working just like on windows | 23:18 |
| Jezz` | i have a 8600gt and a lacie electron 22 | 23:18 |
| proq | Aval0n: it depends. compare against your BIOS to be certain | 23:18 |
| proq | Aval0n: but probably, yes | 23:18 |
| s3a | Aval0n: how did u check ur cpu temp, i need to no bcuz mine shuts down from overheating from my last install | 23:18 |
| Christian | I apologize to the channel if I was rude. | 23:18 |

| steego | hi, can anyone offer some advice on getting my second usb mouse working? i'm using /dev/input/mice but only one works.. | 23:19 |
| steego | i have both /dev/input/mouse0 and mouse1 in the folder, but when I cat them only one shows any output when moving the mouse | 23:19 |
| steego | also, dmesg shows the other mouse when I connect it | 23:19 |
| leveeathan | Hi I need help with something odd.... and I've looked eveyrwhere on ubuntu forums and the fix doesnt help me. I get really poor speeds and problems connecting to the ubuntu repository sites out of nowhere.. using gutsy and hardy.. both having a problem.. I tried removing the .us prefix like it seems to have worked for the rest of the planet and no go... | 23:19 |
| === ricky_ is now known as BiAnCoOo | ||
| Jezz` | but why does ubuntu monitor resolution setting limits the refresh rate then? | 23:19 |
| s3a | Aval0n: if thats a command it doesnt work...its lm-sensors isnt it? | 23:19 |
| dxdt | sukuri: no I am pretty sure none exist. Otherwise it would have just worked out of the box without you having to install the codec. Also, I think this is the reason .ogg was maybe invented | 23:19 |
| Aval0n | CPU Temp: +37.0°C | 23:19 |
| soundray | Christian: whatever. It's worth having a go with hardy if that spindown/up problem was preventing you from using earlier versions. | 23:19 |
| echosa | Lesson learned: if aptitude pretends to install, but your system doesn't change (i.e. no files are actually installed anywhere), try an apt-get --reinstall on the program. | 23:19 |
| Jezz` | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76387 is this safe to try? | 23:19 |
| Aval0n | I bet CPU Temp: +37.0°C is my cpu temp :P | 23:19 |

| leveeathan | proq: thanks, is there a place where I can get the listings of repositories for every country? | 23:20 |
| leveeathan | or something like that | 23:20 |
| nubbie_ | dxdt: ogg was invented to be free of patents. | 23:20 |
| proq | !mirrors | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 23:20 |
| Aval0n | you install lm-sensors then run sensors.. and you can have it try to probe for what sensors there are s3m | 23:20 |
| * leveeathan will try nl. :D haha | 23:20 | |
| dxdt | nubbie_: yeah I figured as much | 23:20 |
| Aval0n | then you add them to /etc/modules and modprobe them | 23:20 |
| html_devilx | well im trying this one --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282999 | 23:20 |
| Christian | soundray: Nah. My main issue with Ubuntu was with all the difficulty getting connected to the internet through a wireless connection. I had to use ndiswrapper for all my drivers. Then I had to write a connect script and load it into rc.local. I just tried 8.04 on a live cd...the same problems still exist. | 23:20 |
| sukuri | dxdt: So that would mean I have illegal software on my computer, now that I've downloaded an mp3 codec...? | 23:21 |
| Christian | soundray, But I know, drivers aren't ubuntus problem. | 23:21 |
| nubbie_ | Christian: why are you using rc? | 23:21 |
| doug_ | html_devilx: ah cool and sorry none of mine worked for you. | 23:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Christian $20 for a new wireless card that is supported in ubuntu/linux would not be a bad investment | 23:21 |
| Christian | nubbie_, I am a newbie and thats all I knew how to do. | 23:21 |
| html_devilx | well i think this one might work brb im gonna logout and test it | 23:22 |
| Christian | nubbie_, it worked fine though. | 23:22 |
| proq | Christian: ndiswrapper is easy. if you're working with those scripts, then do you really have a problem? | 23:22 |

| leveeathan | Christian: is that a HP laptop you're talking about? If it's a broadcom chipset you'll need to use ndiswrapper and make sure the usb modules dont load prior to ndiswrapper at boot | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Christian Once I did direct connect and my updates I was able to enable the drivers for wireless and worked the first time on all three | 23:26 |

| proq | hardy works very well for me | 23:27 |
| Christian | Jack_Sparrow, you did this with 8.04 or earlier versions? | 23:27 |
| s3a | were on the gnome ubuntu calculator do i press to simplify fractions? | 23:27 |
| Christian | Jack_Sparrow, I tried with 7.04 and I had no luck with that. | 23:27 |
| doug_ | leveeathan: yes and i ran feisty back in 07 then i moved got me a new comp and got gutsy then upgraded to hardy. | 23:27 |
| leveeathan | proq: me too, i've got gutsy, feisty and hardy on different machines and they all work well | 23:27 |
| doug_ | nubbie_: i rly have not had many hard troubles with hardy | 23:27 |
| nubbie_ | with hardy, i have problems with EC_TIMEOUTS booting, i can't boot livecds because the SQUASHFS I/O errors, among many other minor headaches. | 23:27 |

| Christian | Jack_Sparrow, Ah Okay. | 23:28 |
| nubbie_ | doug_: i need to unplug my laptop when i turn it on just to get past GRUB. | 23:28 |
| leveeathan | Christian: I'd be interested to know what you guys are talking about with the bcm based wlan cards, I struggled so much with mine | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Christian earlier versions I used fwcutter | 23:28 |
| nubbie_ | doug_: and i am by no means an amateur linux user. | 23:28 |
| doug_ | nubbie_: lol ouch thats a bad bug very bad. | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leveeathan the 43xx and 943xx ave all together different... | 23:29 |
| dangerdave | in Ubuntu, what's the command-line equivalent of "open" on OSX or "start" on Windows? | 23:29 |
| leveeathan | Jack_Sparrow: meaning the ndiswrapper method doesn't work? | 23:29 |
| nubbie_ | doug_: no kidding, and i had absolutely zero problems with gutsy. all of a sudden hardy is not working with my laptop. | 23:29 |
| mindframe- | what do i need to do to be able to disable wireless through the network manager? | 23:29 |
| Christian | Lets say I purchase an old computer, and I want to put an earlier version of ubuntu on it due to hardware requirements, ... Can you still download the earlier versions of ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leveeathan do you have 943xx? | 23:29 |
| nubbie_ | dangerdave: you just type the name of the program... | 23:29 |
| sharperguy | any reason why sometimes (like at the moment) when you receive a kernel update the packages for some kernel modules don't get updated with it (talking about virtualbox-ose-modules - only has it for the '-16 kernel, but we are now on '-17) | 23:29 |
| proq | dangerdave: nautilus . | 23:29 |
| soundray | dangerdave: gnome-open | 23:29 |

| dangerdave | thanks | 23:29 |

| dangerdave | gnome-open was the one i was looking for. thanks. | 23:31 |
| nubbie_ | doug_: that's what i've done, and i don't much feel like reverting. i'm trying to get linuxmint installed right now, but it suffers the same issues as ubuntu when booting livecds failing to expand the squashfs. | 23:31 |
| azexian | anyone? need to know about using a pci sata card in ubuntu, will it work? | 23:31 |
| nubbie_ | s3a: google could probably do it :) | 23:31 |

| Sl4m | This may seem a bit redundant or perhaps even a tad bit stupid, but is vnc being slow and unresponsive when used with vista > ubuntu a known issue? | 23:40 |
| komputes | Creationist: then backup your setting and put them back after doing what i posted | 23:40 |
| leveeathan | doug_: I have to wonder if it's possible for one to love both ubuntu and vista as well, it's like being a gay muslim, not that I would have anything against it! | 23:40 |

| bazhang | Creationist, the non-mozilla branded swiftweasel works with ff2 plugins | 23:49 |
| soundray | !apt-file | ryoohki | 23:49 |
| ubottu | ryoohki: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" | 23:49 |
| ubuntu | komputes: It's not just with one of the partitions. The entire drive is "unallocated" (but it's very much not, Ubuntu is running on it). | 23:50 |
| komputes | Creationist: I would install them from the addons page, if that folder touched FF3 it's bugged, get it? | 23:50 |
| R3D3Y3 | babolat that is not in ubuntu 8.04? | 23:50 |
| Creationist | komputes: I thought you were supposed to be able to have both FF2 and 3 installed side-by-side. | 23:50 |
| komputes | ubuntu: that is logically not possible | 23:50 |
| nubbie_ | Creationist: FF3 plugins will NOT work with FF2. | 23:50 |
| Xcell | Hello folks | 23:50 |
| komputes | Creationist: ha | 23:50 |
| nubbie_ | Creationist: that does NOT mean their plugins are compatible between firefox versions. | 23:50 |

| proq | nubbie_: most people don't use firefox plugins | 23:51 |
| komputes | Creationist: if it weren't for me contacting the MOTU, FF2 wouldn't even be included in Hardy | 23:51 |

| bazhang | Creationist, the swiftweasel works perfectly well.. | 23:51 |
