| ad | hi , is there a BrainStorm developer here !? | 00:01 |
| JoCo | How do I install the flash plugin for firefox? | 00:01 |
| ikonia | JoCo: install the package flashplugin-nonfree | 00:01 |
| komputes | ubuntu: try quiting gparted and getting bacxk into it through a terminal by running "sudo gparted" | 00:01 |
| ikonia | JoCo: you can do that through your favourite package manager | 00:01 |
| bazhang | Aruza, what about modprobe ide-disk what does that return | 00:01 |
| djhash | http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash | 00:01 |
| ikonia | djhash: has, thats not the suggested way of installing | 00:02 |
| ad | where can i get help for ubuntu.brainstorm.com | 00:02 |
| ubuntu | komputes: Done. No diffrence. | 00:02 |
| JoCo | ? | 00:02 |
| ikonia | djhash: that would casue issues outside the package manager | 00:02 |
| bazhang | ad just sign up no help needed-->just a brain ;] | 00:02 |
| Aruza | bazhang: nothin except a new prompt | 00:02 |
| ikonia | JoCo: open your package manager (normally synaptic) and install the package flashplugin-nonfree | 00:02 |
| bazhang | Aruza, okay good | 00:02 |
| ad | bazhang, i need Dev-Help | 00:02 |
| ikonia | ad: in what respect ? | 00:03 |
| bazhang | modprobe ide-generic Aruza | 00:03 |
| komputes | ubuntu: what does cfdisk show? | 00:03 |
| ad | ikonia, i am installing brainstorming @ my local site and have issues | 00:03 |
| Aruza | bashang: now i have a few lines saying I/O resource not free and ports already in use | 00:03 |
| bazhang | ad ah sorry for the levity then | 00:03 |
| ubuntu | komputes: The truth, all of my partitions including the NTFS, FAT32, ext3 and swap | 00:03 |
| ad | bazhang, is there a dev channel for ubuntu ? | 00:04 |
| ikonia | ad: what are the issues installing ? | 00:04 |
| bazhang | ad probably nothing to do with brainstorm though and not a support channel | 00:04 |
| komputes | ubuntu: we're talking about this one disk which gparted shows as unformated | 00:04 |
| ad | ikonia, i have problems customizing on a local domain other than ubuntu one | 00:04 |

| fde | ad: your topic would be off topic for that... if you're talking about a program, please see if they have support setup | 00:05 |
| ikonia | ad: where did you get the source for brainstorming ? | 00:05 |
| Creationist | I am trying to get my backup of my FF2 settings from Feisty to work with FF2 in Hardy. But after purging Firefox from Hardy and installing Firefox 2, I copy my backup of ~/.mozilla/ to my home directory. When I start Firefox, all my bookmarks are there and the extensions are listed, but none of them work. This has worked perfectly with other upgrades... what am I missing? | 00:05 |
| komputes | ubuntu: ha, what does cfdisk show concerning this one disk which gparted shows as unformated | 00:05 |
| ad | ikonia, there is a howto site in the wiki , i am off for a smoke , will be right back | 00:05 |
| ikonia | Creationist: define non work | 00:05 |
| kitche | Creationist: that the ubuntu firefox is not the standard firefox from their site most likely | 00:06 |
| komputes | Creationist: has this .mozilla dir been used in FF3? | 00:06 |
| Creationist | ikonia: Well, they're listed in the Add-Ons window, but they have no options under Tools, | 00:06 |

| Aruza | bazhang: now i have a few lines saying I/O resource not free and ports already in use | 00:06 |
| nubbie_ | Creationist: why not just reinstall all of the plugins manually? ie. delete the contents of the plugins folder within ~/.mozilla and install them one by one from mozilla's site. there isn't much effort involved. | 00:06 |
| Creationist | komputes: No. | 00:06 |
| ikonia | Creationist: not all the plugins / addons work in ff3 | 00:06 |
| kbrosnan | Creationist: delete your extensions.rdf from ~/.mozilla/firefox/... | 00:06 |
| Creationist | nubbie_: I have about 20 of them :) | 00:06 |
| bazhang | Aruza, I saw that still looking for a solution hang on | 00:06 |
| Creationist | ikonia: I know... I've never used Firefox 3 with this .mozilla/ directory. | 00:07 |
| Aruza | bazhang: kk =) | 00:07 |
| ubuntu | komputes: All partitions on the disk | 00:07 |
| ikonia | kitche: firefox3 beta is the beta from the mozilla site, packaged for ubuntu | 00:07 |
| komputes | Creationist: did you remove FF3 before purging firefo*? | 00:07 |
| kitche | ikonia: umm ok not sure what that has to do with FF2 | 00:07 |
| Creationist | komputes: Yes, I did. | 00:07 |
| ikonia | kitche: ok, firefox2 is firefox from the mozilla site | 00:07 |
| komputes | ubuntu: ok, reinstall FF3 and FF2 and then follow the instructions i gave you | 00:08 |
| Creationist | komputes: But again, this entire /.mozilla/ directory is from a backup... a totally separate heirarchy of the tree so it wouldn't have been touched by FF3. | 00:08 |
| komputes | since you removed and didn't purge FF3, you system still thinks your FF2 is FF3 and it will b buggy | 00:08 |
| ubuntu | komputes: What's FF2 and FF3? | 00:08 |
| kbrosnan | Creationist: please find and delete your extensions.rdf from your firefox profile folder | 00:08 |
| komputes | Creationist: I understand what happened | 00:08 |
| ikonia | ubuntu: firefox 2 and version 3 | 00:08 |
| komputes | sorry | 00:08 |
| komputes | that was a msg for Creationist | 00:08 |
| ubuntu | komputes: Thought so, it was a little irrelevant :P | 00:09 |
| Creationist | kbrosnan: I don't have one under /.mozilla/ | 00:09 |
| komputes | ubuntu: can you post a screenshot of them side by side gparted/cfdisk? | 00:09 |

| ubuntu | komputes: I too am surprised. | 00:10 |
| crunchybumble | question : somehow windows sh@t all over my ubuntu install | 00:11 |
| crunchybumble | i've never experienced this | 00:11 |
| babolat | crunchybumble: how so | 00:11 |
| Creationist | komputes: So I reinstalled FF3, then purged firefo*. Now I should be able to reinstall firefox-2 and then copy my backup .mozilla/ over, right? | 00:11 |
| Y-Town | I cannot get the talkd daemon to run on one of my laptops.... is there a way to see if its running or start it? | 00:11 |
| crunchybumble | but i recovered some lost partitions on a couple of old IDE drives | 00:11 |
| kindofabuzz | since i can't browse the network using Thunar, what can i use? | 00:11 |
| crunchybumble | (to do this, i had to get a new drive, SATA, and load some ubunutu flavour on it | 00:12 |
| dnlacero | question:hello, having trouble to automount my sony digital camera via usb, i just revert to the 'full speed' mode (slower) by unloading ehci_hcd, but i still have the camera unmounted, any idea? by the way lsusb shows he camera on one port.. | 00:12 |
| Creationist | On that note, why WAS beta software chosen to be installed by default into an LTS version? Seems VERY anti-user friendly... | 00:12 |
| crunchybumble | then run testdisk against my partition table | 00:12 |
| crunchybumble | which worked great | 00:12 |
| JoCo | ikonia, it says I have the latest version but nothing that uses flash in firefox works :/ | 00:12 |
| JoCo | it is greyed out with a play button on it | 00:12 |
| crunchybumble | but when I booted off of those recovered drives, something ... for lack of better term happened | 00:12 |
| bazhang | Aruza, what is the exact error message you get (or something close) that drops you into busybox shell | 00:12 |
| ikonia | JoCo: what version / platform are you using ubuntu on | 00:12 |
| ikonia | 8.04/32bit ? | 00:12 |
| babolat | !repeat | dnlacero | 00:12 |
| ubottu | dnlacero: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 00:12 |
| kbrosnan | JoCo: uninstall the flashblock extension | 00:12 |

| crunchybumble | and now windows boots off of my SATA device, which never had windows loaded on it | 00:13 |
| JoCo | ikonia, 8.04 | 00:13 |
| kindofabuzz | Creationist: talking about FF? because it's very close to final release and over 16000 bugs have been fixd since firefox 2 | 00:13 |
| ikonia | JoCo: 32bit ? | 00:13 |
| JoCo | ikonia, yea | 00:13 |
| komputes | ubuntu: ok i'm looking | 00:13 |
| bazhang | Creationist, you have made your displeasure clear; either try the solution I offered or move on thanks | 00:13 |
| soundray | JoCo: have you restarted firefox? | 00:13 |
| JoCo | i dont have the flashblock extension | 00:13 |
| ikonia | JoCo: you've not installed flashblock | 00:13 |
| JoCo | soundray, yea | 00:13 |
| Creationist | bazhang: Using a different application isn't exactly a solution, it's a workaround :) | 00:13 |
| ikonia | JoCo: you just installed the flash plugin - thatsi t | 00:13 |

| babolat | crunchybumble: it's going to be easier for the people in this room if u put all those detail in one message u know | 00:14 |
| JPSman | Hey, what does the guided partition slider MEAN? | 00:14 |
| JoCo | ill check 1 sec | 00:14 |
| Aruza | bazhang: i dont see an error it goes right from the Ubuntu loading screen into the shell | 00:14 |
| kindofabuzz | komputes: not for sure, but ff 3 b5 is much better than stable firefox 2 | 00:14 |
| Creationist | bazhang: I was just curious about the decision, that's all. kindofabuzz answered it for me. | 00:14 |
| komputes | ubuntu: do you get the same error from the live CD? This is on Hardy 8.04 or Gutsy 7.10? | 00:14 |
| starcannon | dnlacero I'm not sure with a Sony camera, but if your just wanting to get the pictures off of it, I reccommend using a card reader, I have an old junker camera here that won't work right in Ubuntu, but I can pull the flash card out of it and get the stuff off of it that way | 00:14 |
| JoCo | I dont have flashblock installed but I do have ubuntu firefox modifications 0.5 | 00:14 |
| komputes | kindofabuzz: FF2 more stable, therefore what i use | 00:14 |
| sectech | Just a general question... Is there such a things as a removal blacklist? Where synaptics or update-manager won't be allowed to remove a package? | 00:15 |
| kindofabuzz | komputes: 3b5 faster, less buggy | 00:15 |

| dnlacero | thanks starcannon and babolat | 00:15 |
| JPSman | Heya, I am installing linux and need help with partitioning? | 00:15 |
| starcannon | sectech theres something called pinning your system | 00:15 |
| bazhang | Aruza, okay you need to reboot wubi, and then enter the grub menu and add that (e to edit the kernel it will boot) all_generic_ide to the end of the boot parameters (near quiet, splash, etc) then d then b to boot | 00:15 |
| kindofabuzz | komputes: over 16000 bugs have been fixed since firefox 2 | 00:15 |
| starcannon | sectech which accomplishes what your talking about | 00:16 |
| JoCo | any site like digg.com the ad in the upper right is grey with a play button on it | 00:16 |
| sectech | starcannon, I am trying to triage a bug... I never heard of a removal blacklist | 00:16 |
| djhash | JPSman: whats up | 00:16 |
| fde | sectech: it is possible, /j #debian-bots and /msg dpkg hold | 00:16 |
| JoCo | and when i click it it loads | 00:16 |
| dabbill | any one have problems with gmount in Hardy? I wont do any thing for me, doesnt even give any error messages. | 00:16 |
| kindofabuzz | yes there are new bugs but.. | 00:16 |
| JoCo | but video and sound doesnt work | 00:16 |
| dnyy | err, i had vista on one partition & ubuntu on another. instead of uninstalling ubuntu like i should have, i just deleted the partition. now, when i try to boot, it gets stuck on 'loading grub, please wait..' is there a way to get rid of grub or what? :< | 00:16 |
| fde | sectech: It won't let you talk to the bot unless you're in one of the debian channels though... | 00:16 |
| kindofabuzz | komputes: try the nightlys | 00:16 |
| crunchybumble | point. i've dispowered the IDE devices, and booting solely from the SATA device, to which I've never installed windows, is booting XP. I don't know how this could have happened I didn't copy over the partition table. I copied over some of the data off of corrupted/lost ext2/3 partiitons. But I have no idea how I got windows over this install. Has anyone ever seen anything like this, and is there a way to read the partition table from w | 00:16 |
| ikonia | JoCo: and installing the flashplugin-nonfree package is the ONLY way you've tried to install flash. yes/no ? | 00:16 |
| starcannon | I've only pinned out a system once though, so I'd be terrible to walk through, maybe someone here knows how if not, thats what you want to search google for or the www.ubuntuforums.org | 00:16 |

| LadyNikon | can anyone see me? | 00:17 |
| ikonia | LadyNikon: sure | 00:17 |
| JPSman | djhash: is it the space ubuntu will use? or what? | 00:17 |
| dnyy | i'm reinstalling ubuntu | 00:17 |
| nubbie_ | dnyy: create a grub installation floppy and reinstall it. it should detect your windows installation. if I were you i would have just left grub. make sure you install grub to the MBR. | 00:17 |
| JoCo | ikonia, no previously when i started firefox for the first time it asked me to install the flash plugin and there were 3 options and i think I clicked the wrong one, the 3rd one down | 00:17 |

| JoCo | I want to get back to that menu if thats possible | 00:18 |
| agro1987 | help: i've downloaded the .deb and all the required .exe for msttcorefonts. Now, how do I do an offline install? | 00:18 |
| nubbie_ | darek: does that matter? | 00:18 |
| ikonia | JoCo: please close all firefox windows, and in a shell do the following "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 00:18 |
| bazhang | ryanakca, you have tons of rss feeds and/or extensions? that might be a factor | 00:18 |
| komputes | kindofabuzz: improvements in development yes, but many are buggy. Personally I had issues with FF3 and flash. check out https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0, many open bugs... | 00:18 |
| djhash | JPSman: yes.. how much of the Harddrive to use for the new OS | 00:18 |

| Requim | Maybe this is an ignorant question, but if I run Ubuntu from the live CD, and if I make changes to the system, how does Ubuntu keep track of any changes during the session if it can't write to the Live CD? Or is it simply not possible to make any changes that require writing to the disk? | 00:19 |
| djhash | JPSman: Slide it down.. how small do you want the partition to be? | 00:19 |
| nubbie_ | zyx386: you're going to need to include more information if you hope to solve that. | 00:19 |
| kindofabuzz | ryanakca: i bet it's your dns servers | 00:19 |
| bazhang | dnyy, then it will resize the partition for you and fix grub | 00:19 |

| starcannon | Requim or maybe a thumbdrive install would be to your benefit, lets you have a bootable drive with you, and save your stuff to it.. probably about a dozen ways to skin your particular cat | 00:22 |
| Requim | nubbie, starcannon: So will Ubuntu automatically look for any available "swap space" and use it? Or do I have to set up something like that? | 00:22 |
| nubbie_ | Prez00: how long have you been running hardy? it takes time for tracker to build it's databases. | 00:22 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, that rebooted by computer for some reason | 00:22 |

| Prez00 | nubbie_: over a day... and it seems to have all my email, just no docs | 00:22 |
| komputes | Creationist: the live cd can't save, if you make changes, you can make changes to your mounted hard disk files but not changes to the cd, i.e. if you install an app it is only in ram, so once you reboot it is gone | 00:22 |
| ubuntu | komputes: Seems a little overkill. But I guess I'll have to do it. Thanks alot for the help! | 00:22 |
| zyx386 | can every one tell how can i fix this problem? | 00:22 |
| ikonia | lmosher: are you running the real-time kernel ? | 00:22 |
| djhash | i dont think the partitioner in ubuntu install preservesthe data | 00:22 |
| bazhang | Aruza, what other partitions do you have and what format are they in or just the vista one | 00:23 |
| nubbie_ | Prez00: did you set up tracker to monitor your home directory? | 00:23 |
| martiner_33 | nubbie_: why in wrong channel? this channel names ubuntu ..yeah? | 00:23 |
| Prez00 | nubbie_: it's checked | 00:23 |
| JPSman | djhash:how do I create a new partition then? I am not seeing the option | 00:23 |

| Creationist | How do I delete all files found by "find?" I tried piping rm into the find search, but that just gave a syntax error for rm. | 00:23 |
| komputes | Creationist: that's dangerous but use xargs. find _______ | xrags rm <options> | 00:23 |
| lmosher | ikonia, I was informed that if I change my /etc/security/limits.conf to allow audio applications access, it would be OK. I tested kernel 2.6.22-14-rt, but it doesn't work with my system (you might remember me, my system is fussy about the kernel.. or perhaps the other way around) | 00:23 |
| bazhang | Aruza, hmm that is odd | 00:23 |
| Requim | nubbie: So Ubuntu will automatically look for some sort of swap drive on my HD and use it without telling me? I like to know what's going on behind the scenes. :) | 00:23 |
| cgentry72 | babolat, ok | 00:23 |
| bricenow | Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a38 somebody can use this ???? i just tried so much without success..... | 00:23 |
| ryanakca | kindofabuzz: same issue. And, Konqueror | 00:23 |
| Prez00 | nubbie_: could it be a problem with old tracker stuff, from previous version? should I just re-index everything? | 00:23 |
| komputes | ubuntu: i'm still looking and thinking of opening a bug, are you on launchpad? | 00:24 |
| nubbie_ | Prez00: you can induce tracker to refresh it's databases from the command line... i just don't know how off the top of my head. in a terminal type "trackerd --help" and i think it may have more information for you. | 00:24 |
| dabbill | how can i mount ISO's in linux? Gmount doesnt seem to work in Hardy x64 | 00:24 |
| LjL | Creationist: "find" has a -remove or -delete (not sure what it's called) option | 00:24 |
| djhash | Aruza: do ls /dev/disk/by-uuid and see how many entries are there | 00:24 |
| LjL | Creationist: otherwise, use -exec | 00:24 |
| ikonia | lmosher: yes, I'm stilling looking at that issue | 00:24 |

| JPSman | djhash: ya know what? screw it. I'll go with 50 gigs | 00:26 |
| nubbie_ | s3a: I don't have the solution to your question, but i have a solution that will get you the results you want. you can use that pdf editor to split it into several files, and then use imagemagick. | 00:26 |
| djhash | JPSman: You can download a CD/USB image called "Parted Magic".. boot from it, and resize your partitions in the HDD just like PartitionMagic (if u've ever used it) | 00:26 |
| dabbill | ere4si, thanks | 00:26 |

| Aruza | bashang and djhash: i got it working, aparently vista marks partitions if it isnt shutdown correctly and that was causing the problem, i restarted vista and shutdown and it worked | 00:26 |
| ubuntu | komputes: Alright | 00:27 |

| djhash | works* | 00:27 |
| lmosher | ikonia, Any tips on getting the rt kernel up and running? i've heard it does wonders.. I'd love to use it, it just won't boot. Don't get why, it's the same version as my existing setup | 00:27 |
| djhash | JPSman: just make sure you dont end up losing files you need.. | 00:27 |
| ikonia | lmosher: I've been working that through for about 6 hours now (on/off) for you | 00:27 |
| nubbie_ | Requim: swap space is a specially formatted (or non-formatted if you want to be technical) space which ubuntu finds at boot time. you can also use "swapon /dev/hdx#" to use additional swap space. | 00:27 |
| nubbie_ | Requim: where /dev/hdx# is a swap partition. | 00:28 |
| ikonia | nubbie_: technicall /dev/hdX doesn't exist anymore | 00:28 |
| crunchybumble | @nubbie - does that open the entire device as swap? | 00:28 |
| JPSman | djhash: if I go with the guided slider, then it won't erase important files right? | 00:28 |
| bricenow | hey people.... somebody can give me at least a web adress to find the basic steps on linux ??/ | 00:28 |

| ikonia | nubbie_: no, if you use any harddisk | 00:28 |
| bricenow | thks ikonia | 00:29 |
| s3a | nubbie_: that might work :) thx...is the limit 200 pages? | 00:29 |
| lmosher | ikonia, I greatly appreciate your help there.. I think the realtime kernel is unrelated, though.. The kernel boots, but I don't get sound. The other kernels won't boot. I'm using the same version number, just -rt instead of generic. | 00:29 |
| ubuntu | komputes: I'm already registered, nick IS Achoth | 00:29 |
| marik | anyone got a raid going? | 00:29 |
| ikonia | nubbie_: libata referes to all disks as scsi | 00:29 |
| Alp` | hi there, i got a problem. i reinstalled hardy over gutsy today. and know i got a weird behaviour with maximized windows (compiz is enabled): every maximized and focused window randomly restores and maximizes again after almost each click in that window... result is a complete weirdness with constantly "moving" windows | 00:29 |
| nubbie_ | ikonia: is that so? i thought it was just a sata tihng. | 00:29 |
| ikonia | marik: sure | 00:29 |
| stdin | there are some strange types of IDE that still shows as hdx, but it's not common | 00:29 |
| ikonia | nubbie_: used to be just sata, now all disk idea/sata/scsi/usb etc | 00:29 |
| ubuntu | komputes: Oh yes. Samsung SpinPoint 320gb | 00:29 |
| ikonia | stdin: only things like the old compaq controller that don't show as "disks" | 00:29 |
| marik | ikonia, dmraid? | 00:29 |
| nubbie_ | s3a: i have no idea, i just know it's possible to split pdf files into several files of a set page size. then you can keep using the method you're currently using. | 00:29 |
| babolat | Alp`: try disabling compiz then reenabling it | 00:29 |
| bazhang | Aruza, okay, got a bit further-->can you check /proc/partitions | 00:29 |
| frogscott | hello has anyone here installed virtual box and knows which modules to install? | 00:29 |
| redd0t | hello | 00:30 |
| djhash | JPSman: the guided slider is just asking for how big you want the partition to be.. so it might re-partition the entire drive then give you what you want.. which means losing files.. | 00:30 |
| Alp` | babolat: compiz --replace ? | 00:30 |
| crunchybumble | @swap space people -- you mean that it actually shows as hdX; that X wasn't a variable? | 00:30 |
| lmosher | ikonia, Don't worry about it I have to go for now anyway, I'll work on this issue later. It'll be here for me when I get back, heh :) | 00:30 |
| s3a | nubbie_: k, thx, at least u got me started for sumtin ;) | 00:30 |
| komputes | ubuntu: send me the url of your launchpad page so I can subscribe you | 00:30 |
| ikonia | marik: no, I strongly advise you not to use dmraid or "fake raid" due to poor linux support and a weak technology in general | 00:30 |
| ikonia | lmosher: not giving up on it | 00:30 |
| babolat | Alp`: nope.. just go restart it | 00:30 |
| starcannon | djhash doesn't gparted allow for non destructive partition resizing? | 00:30 |

| zcat[1] | don't be fooled, 'dmraid' or 'fake raid' is just software raid, with none of the advantages of proper software raid... | 00:31 |

| starcannon | djhash anyway wasn't sure exactly what the goal is, so just thought I'd throw that out there, gparted has a nice gui thats very easy to use | 00:33 |

| starcannon | Sirjames you'll need to install advanced desktop settings from synaptics, then look around through its menu's its pretty straight forward, you'll need 4 desktops setup instead of the default 2 (just right click on the desktop switcher and bump it up to 4) | 00:36 |
| djhash | JSPman: Any form of partitioning has risks in it... you might get a power surge during it and loose the HDD.. etc.. kinda like surgery there is always a risk even though minimal.. The guided partition might not remove your data.. but its always better to be safe than sorry | 00:36 |

| ikonia | marik: quite heavily patched | 00:40 |
| babolat | Alp`: did u get my msg when i said try restarting X? | 00:40 |
| Exteris | end-user, that should work | 00:41 |
| MagoonD | nubbie_, ok | 00:41 |
| Alp` | babolat: no, i could test that now | 00:41 |
| Alp` | just a sec | 00:41 |
| babolat | Alp`: yes pls | 00:41 |
| nubbie_ | MagoonD: there is also a program which will make a list of all packages installed. you can then use that list to create an identical system. | 00:41 |
| ikonia | marik: you can always add your information/details to the bug report to help get it fixed | 00:41 |
| ikonia | marik: the more info the better | 00:41 |
| MagoonD | nubbie_, any chance you know the name of that package? | 00:41 |
| ubuntu | komputes: Yeah, I'll post in that thread when I've fixed the problem/failed | 00:41 |
| ksoviero | is there a way to burn a cd in 2 drives simultaniously? | 00:41 |
| end-user | Exteris: Hmm...well it isn't working. Is there anyway to make Ubuntu rebuild the list of applications for preferred applications? | 00:42 |
| ikonia | ksoviero: not really | 00:42 |
| bazhang | ksoviero, a single cd? | 00:42 |
| komputes | ubuntu: thx | 00:42 |
| wotten | /msg nickserv register mack0822 | 00:42 |
| ajonat | ! | 00:42 |
| ikonia | ksoviero: 2 cd's burning at once cause issues | 00:42 |
| Exteris | end-user, dunno about that | 00:42 |
| nubbie_ | MagoonD: not off the top of my head no. | 00:42 |
| ksoviero | no, 2 cds at once in 2 different drives | 00:42 |
| zChris | wotten: akward! | 00:42 |
| MagoonD | nubbie_, ok thx for ur help | 00:42 |
| bazhang | ksoviero, likely not | 00:42 |
| nubbie_ | MagoonD: no problem. | 00:42 |
| ksoviero | oh well | 00:42 |
| ajonat | MagoonD, nubbie_, remastersys? | 00:42 |
| nubbie_ | ajonat: yes? | 00:42 |
| MagoonD | ajonat, yes | 00:43 |
| ajonat | nubbie_, the name of the program | 00:43 |
| nubbie_ | ajonat: oh lol, i'm not sure. | 00:43 |
| silas428 | what is a good chatroom for networking? | 00:43 |
| ikonia | silas428: #networking | 00:43 |
| user___ | ##networking | 00:43 |
| silas428 | thnx | 00:43 |
| user___ | How does one create an ubuntu thin client boot cd | 00:43 |
| nubbie_ | user___: you could set up a server and netboot. | 00:44 |
| user___ | I know how to do PXE boot but the pc in question does not support this | 00:44 |
| ikonia | user___: you'd have to make your own bootcd, basiclly containing the info you want to boot - and thats it, but as it's a think client you'd be better with netbooting | 00:45 |
| ksoviero | raise your hand is you have heard of a company called system76? | 00:45 |
| ikonia | ksoviero: offtopic for this channel | 00:45 |
| ksoviero | no, i was wondering is anyone had one? | 00:45 |
| ikonia | ksoviero: offtopic for this channel | 00:45 |
| ikonia | yes | 00:45 |
| zyx386 | how can i fix this fehler http://pastebin.com/m7e6d448b | 00:45 |
| zyx386 | ?? | 00:45 |
| ksoviero | ok, sorry | 00:45 |
| ikonia | ksoviero: thanks | 00:45 |
| nubbie_ | user___: i'm sure there are some very small linux distributions which could netboot regardless of whether or not your motherboard supports it. | 00:45 |
| user___ | ikonia: nubbie_ ok, I'll be honest. The reason I can't do it is because I don't have the ability to make the central pc a dhcp router, so basically I need a decent way around that issue | 00:46 |
| ikonia | user___: do a minimal install | 00:46 |
| ikonia | user___: rather than booting it | 00:46 |
| nubbie_ | user___: what problems are you having with DHCP? | 00:46 |
| zyx386 | everyone help???????+ | 00:46 |
| nubbie_ | user___: perhaps somebody could help you solve the DHCP issue. | 00:47 |
| ikonia | !patience | zyx386 | 00:47 |
| ubottu | zyx386: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 00:47 |
| ikonia | nubbie_: happy to | 00:47 |
| djhash | zyx386: missed your problem.. whats ur problem? | 00:47 |
| Alp` | hmmm | 00:47 |
| user___ | nubbie_: not unless they can insert an extra nic card in my pc and run ehternet wires in my house :) | 00:47 |
| bazhang | zyx386, what is pygame | 00:47 |
| zyx386 | djhash, that is http://pastebin.com/m7e6d448b | 00:48 |
| ksoviero | is there a "talk about anything" area? | 00:48 |
| Alp` | babolat: no change | 00:48 |
| user___ | I just need a way of telling my PC to load a netboot image from a desktop pc rather than expecting a dhcp response | 00:48 |
| bazhang | !ot | ksoviero | 00:48 |
| ubottu | ksoviero: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:48 |
| ikonia | user if your not on a lan, how do you expect to use a thin client ? | 00:48 |
| babola1 | Alp`: got disconnected | 00:48 |
| zyx386 | bazhang, is with this software "svn2swf" screerecording | 00:48 |
| nubbie_ | ikonia: an interesting and valid question :P | 00:48 |
| Alp` | babola1: no change, didnt work | 00:48 |
| bazhang | !screencast | zyx386 try these | 00:49 |
| ubottu | zyx386 try these: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 00:49 |
| babola1 | Alp`: one momenty | 00:49 |
| crunchybumble | wait. so hollup. it takes xp 10 gigs to install, and ubuntu can run off the live disk in RAM | 00:49 |
| crunchybumble | wtf mate? | 00:49 |
| user___ | ikonia: I'm on a lan but my ltsp-server isn't the dhcp server, it is simply another client | 00:49 |
| djhash | zyx386: have you setup a password for the computer ur VNCing to? | 00:49 |
| ikonia | !wtf | crunchybumble | 00:49 |
| ubottu | crunchybumble: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:49 |
| nubbie_ | crunchybumble: yeah basically. | 00:49 |
| ikonia | user___: it dosn't have to be "the" dhcp server, any box can be a dhcp server | 00:49 |
| xbj9000 | if I have kubuntu, and want to also add xfce/xubuntu, what is the best way? | 00:49 |
| ikonia | user___: it just needs a valid ip | 00:49 |
| user___ | ikonia: oh | 00:49 |
| zcat[1] | xp needs 10 gigs? I'm sure I've installed it in 4 or less | 00:49 |
| zyx386 | bazhang, that is not new for me | 00:50 |
| nubbie_ | crunchybumble: it's because linux programs use library linking instead of building the libraries into each program. | 00:50 |
| babola1 | Alp`: u there? | 00:50 |
| zcat[1] | vista probably needs 10 gigs | 00:50 |
| albuntu | xbj9000: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 00:50 |
| user___ | well, in that case, how does it figure out where to load the image from, does it just check all connected computers? | 00:50 |
| zyx386 | djhash, what you mean? | 00:50 |
| Alp` | babola1 yes | 00:50 |
| bazhang | xbj9000, install the desktop xubuntu or kubuntu- | 00:50 |
| xbj9000 | thanks albuntu | 00:50 |
| nubbie_ | xbj9000: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 00:50 |
| babola1 | Alp`: go to System -> Preference -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings -> General Options -> Display Settings | 00:50 |
| crunchybumble | @nubbie. I thought thats what .DLLs were | 00:50 |
| marik | ikonia, all info i have is nearly duplicate of the info that's there. i would just be wasting their time making them read it. the configurations are the same. | 00:50 |
| ikonia | user___: you have a pxe server offering the boot image (which acts as a boot server), but you use the dhcp info to assign an address and point at the pxe server | 00:50 |
| ikonia | marik: no problem | 00:50 |
| djhash | zyx386: try to vncviewer to the computer you're trying to vnc2swf to... | 00:50 |
| nubbie_ | crunchybumble: you're right, except i believe many windows executables build the DLLS into the exe itself. | 00:51 |
| Alp` | babola1: ok i'm there | 00:51 |
| zcat[1] | PXE booting requires a DHCP server.. and the DHCP server tells it what binary to load as well as things like IP and DNS addresses | 00:51 |
| babola1 | Alp`: Uncheck "Detect Outputs" | 00:51 |
| user___ | ikonia: hmmm, ok | 00:51 |
| Alp` | babola1: it's already unchecked | 00:51 |
| babola1 | Alp`: it was *already* unchecked or u have unchecked it? | 00:51 |
| zyx386 | djhash, i ihave no vncviewr | 00:52 |
| babola1 | Alp`: it was *already* unchecked or u have just unchecked it now? | 00:52 |
| sevillian | a | 00:52 |
| jaffarkelshac | does anyone know of citrus, the alarm program for windoze, is there seomthing similar for ubuntu | 00:52 |
| nubbie_ | jaffarkelshac: cron | 00:53 |
| babola1 | Alp`: u there? crash again? | 00:53 |
| djhash | zyx386: stupid question: do you have a vnc server installed on the computer you are trying to connect to? | 00:53 |
| sevillian | ds | 00:53 |
| ikonia | jaffarkelshac: it's called "windows" please show it the respect by calling it by it's proper name | 00:53 |
| nubbie_ | jaffarkelshac: you can also set up alerts in evolution. | 00:53 |
| Sirjames | were in synaptics do i find advanced desktop setting | 00:53 |

| jaffarkelshac | i can call it what i want | 00:53 |
| scottwebber | i had made changed to xorg earlier and it stated that a backup was made. Where is this backup and how do i restore it? | 00:53 |
| ikonia | Sirjames: thats in systme --> prefernces | 00:54 |
| Alp` | babola1: yes, again :( | 00:54 |
| Alp` | babola1: ubuntu hardy seems to be more unstable | 00:54 |
| babola1 | Alp`: it was *already* unchecked or u have just unchecked it now? | 00:54 |
| babola1 | Alp`: not from where i am ;) | 00:54 |
| nubbie_ | jaffarkelshac: type this in: /msg ubottu etiquette, and then leave the channel if you choose not to obey the rules. | 00:54 |
| jaffarkelshac | nubbie_: i forgot, i can use cron to execute a audio file, cheers | 00:54 |
| Sirjames | i got to install it first right now i don't have it | 00:54 |
| Alp` | babola1: already unchecked, couldnt make a change | 00:54 |
| zyx386 | djhash, if you dont understand the Q, dont answer plz, i say vnc2swf is screenrecording program not vncviewr, also | 00:54 |
| jaffarkelshac | stop making fuzz ok | 00:54 |
| babola1 | Alp`: ok.. what's your screen resolution set to right now? | 00:55 |
| crunchybumble | @jaffarkel**** that's my alarm clock, dude | 00:55 |
| ikonia | djhash: a google search shows it as a player as you suggeted also | 00:55 |
| zcat[1] | scottwebber: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1 or similar.. you just copy it back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:55 |
| sevillian | ahmad' :are you there? | 00:55 |
| ikonia | jaffarkelshac: please, just show things respect | 00:55 |
| Alp` | babola1: i have 2 outputs, because of dual screen twinview. overall resolution is 3200x1200 | 00:55 |
| bazhang | zyx386, please be polite | 00:55 |
| djhash | zyx386: vnc2swf is a recording tool to record VNC connection sessions.. you need VNC to use vnc2swf | 00:55 |
| scottwebber | zcat[1], thank you so much :) | 00:55 |
| babola1 | Alp`: do they have different resolutions? | 00:55 |
| nubbie_ | jaffarkelshac: free speech does not apply in this channel. follow the rules. | 00:55 |
| Bodsda | calm down guys | 00:55 |
| bazhang | Bodsda, ;] | 00:56 |
| Alp` | babola1: no, two similar monitors | 00:56 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, takin after you dude ;~) | 00:56 |
| djhash | zyx386: atleast a VNC server should be used on the computer you are connecting to.. even if it is the same computer you wan to record.. | 00:56 |
| babola1 | Alp`: what's Outputs showing? | 00:56 |
| gaten | anyone using hardy having trouble with firefox crashing *alot* when flash is present on a page? | 00:56 |
| nubbie_ | gaten: "meeee!!!" | 00:57 |

| Wannabe | any one know why i can only get a 16 kb dl rate...? usually it's 600 | 00:57 |
| Wannabe | on apt-get | 00:58 |
| nubbie_ | gaten: opera is a dirty pos imo. | 00:58 |
| babola1 | Alp`: try setting your monitors to 1600x1200 both | 00:58 |
| ikonia | Wannabe: busy repo | 00:58 |
| bazhang | Wannabe, security repo? | 00:58 |
| djhash | ikonia: they should've called it vnc2swfandviewer lol | 00:58 |
| zcat[1] | weird fault here; mobo boots up, does POST, detects drives.. but just won't boot. BIOS settings are correct, it won't boot from cdrom, I even swapped drives for a known good one.. | 00:58 |
| Wannabe | ikonia, any way to fix? | 00:58 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: not ubuntu | 00:58 |

| ffm | Hey, anyone know how to convert a plain, formatted text PDF to DJVU? | 00:58 |
| ikonia | Wannabe: wait until it's less busy | 00:58 |
| Alp` | babola1: i dont understand, they already are both on 1600x1200.. as i said above. or didnt i get the point? | 00:58 |
| Wannabe | ikonia, still leaning, how do i swap the mirrors | 00:59 |
| ikonia | Wannabe: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to another ubuntu mirror | 00:59 |
| nubbie_ | Wannabe: you can also use the GUI in synaptic. | 00:59 |
| Wannabe | nubbie_, i'll try your idea one sec | 00:59 |
| babola1 | Alp`: oh ok.. i misunderstood.. as far as i can see you've gotten it right already.. question: have u rebooted since enabling compiz? | 01:00 |
| gaten | nubbie_, it has a lot of problems, but so does ff. i just wish they would open source it | 01:00 |
| adred | hi all.. i messed up with my session settings. i just wanted to configure it because apps i autostart themselves each time i log in. now i cant access my desktop.i cant even right click on it. my wallpaper didn't load..help pls... | 01:00 |

| SeaPhor | Alp`, nice card ;-) | 01:02 |
| Alp` | Jack_Sparrow: yes, it's working fine. but that maximized windows problem is weird | 01:02 |
| nubbie_ | Wannabe: do it in terminal: "sudo apt-get install build-dep wine | 01:02 |
| babola1 | Alp`: should have no prob.. try sliding down your resolutions | 01:02 |
| gaten | bazhang, ahh i see. unfortunate timing | 01:02 |

| kitsuneofdoom | Rhythymbox won't play my ogg vorbis files anymore. It asks for the right codec. Just installed 8.04 | 01:05 |
| cgentry72 | my mouse stopped working today. after making changes to my resolution. i can't fix it. can someone help. | 01:06 |
| ^u^ | kitsuneofdoom: if you double click the ogg file in nautilus does it try to install the codec? | 01:07 |
| babola1 | Alp`: try what post number 2 here says -->http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5144 | 01:07 |
| frederific | I'm using 8.04 with compiz fusion. Somewhere in the compiz advanced config, I managed to set it to minimise all windows if I put my mouse in the bottom-right corner. However, now I can't find an option to deactivate this, any ideas? | 01:07 |
| harksaw | Actually it says "SSLFilter: unable to load unix openssl" | 01:08 |
| nubbie_ | frederific: revert to default settings in compiz? | 01:08 |
| jit | HI just installed 8.04 and trying to configure iburst wireless modem, but I cant find the file /etc/default/pcmcia please help thanks | 01:08 |
| gaten | everytime i restart my computer, X goes into "low res mode", where the resolution is 648x480 and cannot be changed, and my nVidia Server Settings seems to think i don't have an nvidia driver installed. im using the binary drivers from nvidias sight, and i have to reinstall them after each reboot. any suggestions? | 01:08 |
| nubbie_ | frederific: there is also another, simpler compiz configuration manager which displays visually what is connected to each screen edge. | 01:08 |
| babola1 | frederific: ccsm should have a serch function that includes keywords for descriptions, function names and shortcuts | 01:08 |
| ikonia | gaten: use the restricted drivers provided by ubuntu | 01:09 |
| kitsuneofdoom | ^u^ tries to install the "bad" or "ugly" I forget. vorbis isn't in those. Plus it's already installed | 01:09 |
| adamb | Anyone seem to help me, having weird problems, I try to ping a host, and it hangs for 5-6 seconds, then it will reply once, then 5-6 seconds, it will reply again. but if I do a host/dig, it resolves instantly.

| ikonia | gaten: why did you install the drivers from nvidia.com ? | 01:09 |

| gaten | starcannon, how annoying. did the ubuntu supported drivers work for you at all? i get no picture just sound on X boot, they have never worked for me (feisty, gusty or hardy) | 01:12 |
| nubbie_ | Flip2405: that doesn't matter. | 01:12 |
| kitsuneofdoom | ^u^: but ogg vorbis isn't a restricted codec | 01:12 |

| sevillian | hello | 01:12 |
| nubbie_ | Flip2405: if wine isn't using mixing, it takes control of the sound device so no other program can use it. | 01:12 |
| Flip2405 | My sound dont work outside of it | 01:12 |
| starcannon | bitmouse I'm doing my very first minimal install while i'm hangin out here, so far the only thing thats hard is my connection times out about every 3 packages and I have to click retry | 01:12 |

| starcannon | gaten, the ubuntu restricted drivers worked for me in gutsy, but I updated them anyway, I like to have the latest that nvidia has to offer, so I end up just killing the default ones an manually installing the NVIDIA*.run ones from their site | 01:13 |
| ^u^ | kitsuneofdoom: yeh upgrades can bork stuff sometimes and from the link ogg isn't so free... | 01:13 |

| starcannon | gaten I never even bothered with the default ones in hardy, just went straight to nvidia.com and grabbed them. I have done so many nvidia card installs it only takes me 10 minutes now, including downloading the build essentials package | 01:14 |
| Flip2405 | nubbie mind if i pm | 01:14 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | what world are you living in, just out of curiosity | 01:14 |
| kitsuneofdoom | ^u^: I looked at those links and it has no helpful information | 01:14 |
| crunchybumble | that fix for the flash crash on hardy is awesome | 01:14 |
| nubbie_ | Flip2405: i would prefer you didn't, as any information between us should be available for the channel as a whole to use. | 01:15 |
| crunchybumble | btw, you volunteer folk rock | 01:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Flip2405, please keep questions in the channel, that way the person you're talking to doesn't feel pressured, and also so others can answer. | 01:15 |

| Belboz93 | Hey all, I'm not seeing a recently compiled module listed as available, I've compiled and installed it correctly, but I cannot load it because modprobe returns that it doesn't exist | 01:16 |
| starcannon | gaten in hardy I had read on the forums that unchecking them in the restricted driver manager then rechecking them, then rebooting will get them going, but I could download and install the latest ones in about the same amount of time ;P | 01:16 |
| wolfmanz | anyone know how i can see the boot messages you see when the hard drive does that scan disk thing before boot up is there a log that stores these messages after each bootup? | 01:16 |

| TalibJayid | you mean sudo? | 01:19 |

| genii | !root | TalibJayid | 01:19 |
| ubottu | TalibJayid: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:19 |

| cgentry72 | Belboz93, sorry can you repeat the last step, no mouse to move up | 01:22 |

| ubottu | MachinTrucChose: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 01:42 |
| jpastore | dxdt, I tried installing the ndiswrapper and I think I messed also tried the iwl driver | 01:42 |
| MachinTrucChose | thx | 01:42 |
| jpastore | I tried to compile the linux driver which was the iwl driver that I downloaded from intel but the it failed... | 01:43 |
| jpastore | it was workign in 7.10 | 01:43 |
| jpastore | I was using wicd which got upgrade and stopped working | 01:43 |
| bazhang | no worries ;] | 01:43 |
| dxdt | jpastore: yeah ndiswrapper is definitely not needed. In fact I'm pretty sure that card should work out of the box. I wonder if there was just something else slightly not working. hmmm did iwconfig show anything interesting? | 01:44 |
| eegore | How do I do a dist upgrade from feisty | 01:44 |
| Sirjames | how do i do the linux cube | 01:44 |
| styles | How do I completely uninstall Knome? I don't want any of the programs it installed eathier. | 01:44 |
| jpastore | dxdt, define interesting | 01:44 |
| IdleOne | !compiz | Sirjames | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Sirjames: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 01:44 |
| bazhang | jpastore, some folks have been hit with a bug with the transition from ipw to iwl | 01:44 |
| jpastore | bazhang, I think that might be the case here from what I've been seeing on the forums but can't verify | 01:45 |
| jpastore | bazhang, how is taht bug resolved? | 01:45 |
| zChris | I got strange error with the xv codec on VLC, when i use it the colors is totally off | 01:45 |
| dxdt | jpastore: heh, umm I guess just pastebin the output? | 01:45 |
| dxdt | jpastore: or is that not possible? is there like an eth0 or eth1 that looks like your wireless card? | 01:45 |
| bazhang | jpastore, oddly enough, a fresh install of kde4 had it workining out of the box for me-->perhaps gnome might do the same might try the live cd and check it out | 01:46 |
| jpastore | dxdt, no it says there's wireless detected on wlan0 | 01:46 |
| starcannon | gaten how did the guide work out for you? | 01:46 |
| jpastore | which used to be eth1 I guess | 01:46 |
| fde | eegore: System > Administration > Software Sources... the "Updates" tab, at the bottom there should be an option "Show new distribution releases:" Ensure this is set to at least "Long term releases only" | 01:46 |
| jpastore | bazhang, I tried booting off a live cd and it didn't seem like it was working...but my dhcp server was screen and nm-applet seems to have a problem working when you take an adapter off roaming mode | 01:46 |
| dxdt | jpastore: well..... I think I'm out of my league, because it should probably be saying eth1. I'm not sure what the ndiswrapper did and I'm not familiar with it. :( | 01:46 |
| jpastore | dxdt, I think one of the drivers created a device alias which is why it's not called wlan0 | 01:47 |
| bazhang | jpastore, best when in live cd to drop to a shell and see what ifconfig/iwconfig turn up | 01:47 |
| * vujici hola | 01:47 | |
| fde | dxdt: 'ndiswrapper -l' return anything? If so, you were successful, and can go to System > Administration > Network and set up the card normally. | 01:47 |
| bazhang | !es | vujici | 01:47 |
| ubottu | vujici: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 01:47 |
| jpastore | bazhang, ok let's say for a second, that it's successful. how does that help me unless I go for a complete reinstall which is not an option right now | 01:48 |
| jpastore | there has to be a way to fix this | 01:48 |
| surlyduff | while upgrading from gutsy to hardy, my computer froze. now, the system boots up but I can't access my file manager. I can connect to the internet and the update manager says to run a partial upgrade, but that's as far as it goes. my cd drive isn't reading from the disk. any advice? | 01:48 |
| Sirjames | can someone help me with the cube | 01:48 |
| zChris | jpastore: did it work at any point ? | 01:48 |
| r00723r0 | Hi, is the current Ubuntu kernel supportive of ext4? | 01:48 |
| Andares | Hi guys. | 01:48 |
| jpastore | zChris, yes when I was running 7.10 before I did a distupgrade | 01:48 |
| Andares | Why is it that SILC doesn't come installed with pidgin? | 01:48 |
| genii | r00723r0: ext4 has been temporarily removed from kernel tree due to problems. So no | 01:49 |
| bazhang | jpastore, clearly not, just lets you know that it is upgrades and not fresh installs that has the bug-->though you could copy your home partition elsewehre and just copy it back | 01:49 |
| zChris | jpastore: hmm, well it seems to get detected thats good right? :P | 01:49 |
| dukesr420 | hi im looking to find some help i installed the bew ubuntu and set it up and when i tried to login it just restarts and wants me to login again | 01:49 |

| * DeadNed hi | 01:49 | |
| styles | Hi, how can I remove Knome? | 01:49 |
| fde | Sirjames: I can tell you a quick and dirty way if you'd like, provided System > Preferences > Appearance "Desktop Effects" tab is selecting something other that "None"? | 01:49 |
| Andares | Why does SILC not come installed?? | 01:49 |
| jpastore | zChris, yea | 01:49 |

| fde | Sirjames: I mean "Visual Effects" sorry. | 01:49 |

| zChris | jpastore: perhaps you can turn off hidding of SSID and disable mac adress (if you have it on) and no password jsut too see that it detecte the network? | 01:50 |

| Andares | Hm. It should come with though. | 01:51 |
| Kirsch | i wanna get a SATA drive this time instead of a IDE drive | 01:51 |
| genii | r00723r0: No idea when it will back in regular tree. You would convert however with same tool as before, tune2fs | 01:51 |
| brady | anyone? | 01:51 |
| brady | anyone at all? | 01:51 |

| klutch240 | Ubotto. I got it. Thanx | 01:58 |
| mikeooooo | <jskyhawk> you could type e to edit the boot menu then change the drive it boots from, then hit b to boot off different hd(x,x) drives to see if it works | 01:58 |
| mikeooooo | mine got changed once and now i have to edit it every time i boot because im too lazy to find it and permanently edit it | 01:58 |
| starcannon | jskyhawk your likely going to need to run grub from a livecd and get it pointed to your boot partition, i'm guessing that your using a bios device selector to get your ubuntu drive to go first, then grub not knowing that it really isnt the first physical drive on the system is pointing at the first drive in your raid, least from the little you've said thats what I think may be happening | 01:58 |
| TS | I need help configuring my resolution please. I have all the NVIDIA drivers enabled but it doesn't make a difference. | 01:59 |

| croddy | a matter of semantics, i suppose.... | 02:06 |
| fde | croddy: ! in password field == disabled. | 02:06 |
| TS | I'm not sure off hand crdlb | 02:06 |
| croddy | if 'sudo su' works, i would not describe it as disabled, personally... | 02:06 |
| zChris | croddy: does it work? | 02:07 |
| croddy | it always has for me. | 02:07 |
| starcannon | gaten you there? | 02:07 |
| zChris | he cool | 02:07 |
| zChris | :) | 02:07 |
| TS | how do I kill the xserver so I can restart it? | 02:07 |
| compy | anyone have songbird running on 64 bit? | 02:07 |
| RyanPrior | My friend upgraded to Hardy and his sudo stopped working. How does one fix that? | 02:07 |
| crdlb | TS: did you run nvidia-xconfig ? | 02:07 |
| RyanPrior | TS: ctrl+alt+backspace kills and restarts the x server. | 02:07 |
| TS | yes I get an error | 02:07 |
| croddy | aha, now we see the error inherent to the disabled root account! | 02:07 |
| gaten | starcannon: yea | 02:07 |
| starcannon | TS from command line for gnome sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 02:08 |
| croddy | RyanPrior, encourage him to reboot in single-user mode and edit sudoers | 02:08 |
| plik | RyanPrior: vi /etc/sudoers in single user mode I guess | 02:08 |
| crdlb | TS: which is? | 02:08 |
| starcannon | gaten did that guide straighten things up for you? | 02:08 |
| RyanPrior | plik: It says something like "can't resolve host" when he tries to use sudo. | 02:08 |
| croddy | creepy | 02:08 |
| crdlb | starcannon: he'd probably prefer 'restart' :) | 02:08 |
| plik | very odd | 02:08 |
| gaten | starcannon: oh gotta restart and check. the only thing i didnt do that you pointed out was with the modules. let me restart and see | 02:08 |
| starcannon | crdlb ah yep sorry he would, my bad sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 02:08 |
| fde | RyanPrior: That means hostname was changed without changing hosts... if you have the livecd around, you can just mount the partition and edit the applicable files so they match again. | 02:09 |
| TS | Oh | 02:09 |
| TS | didn't do jack but log my session off | 02:09 |
| TS | thanks | 02:09 |
| TS | lol | 02:09 |
| RyanPrior | fde: He doesn't have a LiveCD, he upgraded via network. | 02:09 |
| felipe__ | What happens if I remove pulse audio? will I still have sound? | 02:09 |
| fde | RyanPrior: Or the single user thing... didn't think of that. | 02:09 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | I'm having a bit of problem installing Ubuntu 8.4. When I hit anything but memory test it brings me to a black screen with only a cursor in the upper left. | 02:09 |
| RyanPrior | fde: How do you active single-user mode? | 02:09 |
| croddy | RyanPrior, any live CD will work for this. knoppix, ubuntu 6.06, ... | 02:09 |
| crdlb | TS: logging out doesn't actually restart X by default; it reuses the display | 02:10 |
| RyanPrior | croddy: How do you do this hostname thing? | 02:10 |
| croddy | RyanPrior, fde is suggesting editing /etc/hosts so that the lines for localhost match the new hostname | 02:10 |
| TS | I just did the ctrl alt backspace and it booted me out. but I still get the xserver isn't configured message | 02:10 |
| croddy | do this using your favorite text editor | 02:10 |
| nubbie_ | banshee 1.0 beta one is live people! | 02:10 |
| RyanPrior | croddy: How do you find the new hostname? | 02:10 |
| fde | RyanPrior: during boot, enter grub by hitting a key in the time alloted... then type 'e' and add '1' to the line... then 'b' to boot... | 02:11 |
| starcannon | anyone here able to walk a noob through setting up a hard drive for ubuntu using lvm? I've never done this before so am stumped how to start | 02:11 |
| HindenPeter | I have a question: Where can I find the ATI fglrx drivers? I'm having some trouble finding them in the forums. | 02:11 |
| fde | croddy: that would be a more drawn out process... run level 1 is easier. | 02:11 |
| RyanPrior | fde: And that logs you in as root? | 02:11 |
| starcannon | HindenPeter www.ati.com and then be sure to follow the link to the wiki on how to install them | 02:11 |
| fde | RyanPrior: Essentially... yes | 02:11 |
| RyanPrior | How do you find the new hostname? | 02:12 |
| croddy | wow, are there already ATI cards that are unsupported in 8.04? | 02:12 |
| fde | RyanPrior: It is also why my systems have a grub password :) | 02:12 |
| croddy | (it's why my systems use encrypted LVM) | 02:12 |
| SitUbuntuSit | hmm, i actually thought there was progress with ati. i used to need xgl but can actually run aiglx nicely now in hardy. | 02:13 |
| jumpkick | is there going to be a fix for firefox going insane on the disk i/o? | 02:13 |
| starcannon | croddy do you have time to walk me through how to set up a hdd using lvm, I'm not worried about encryption today, I'll tackle that after I unerstand lvm | 02:13 |
| RyanPrior | That sounds like a good fix, but how does one find what the new hostname is? | 02:13 |
| === simonp is now known as xim | ||
| plik | RyanPrior: uname | 02:14 |
| fde | croddy: That is why envyng-gtk exists, to install the newest drivers easily :) | 02:14 |
| croddy | starcannon, my LVM is pretty rusty and i have to refer to the documentation every time i deal with one at work. at home, it was all set up by the alternat einstaller | 02:14 |
| === xim is now known as spiette | ||
| fde | RyanPrior: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are the files to check. | 02:14 |
| plik | RyanPrior: oops , uname -a | 02:14 |
| RyanPrior | plik: so, for example, my hostname is Linux? | 02:14 |
| starcannon | ah i see, okies lol, well that was nicer than an rtfm hehe | 02:14 |
| === spiette is now known as simonp | ||
| croddy | fde, thanks, that will help a bunch at work where i have a continuous flood of whatever ATI card dell decides to ship to me and a raft of developers all demanding the latest ubuntu | 02:14 |

| === hotchick69 is now known as orudie | ||
| plik | RyanPrior: sorry, uname -a ... after Linux | 02:15 |
| plik | yah -n too | 02:15 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma probably can help, but need to boil it down some, what computer, what is happening, what error messages | 02:15 |
| plik | -a shows "all" kernel etc | 02:15 |
| fde | RyanPrior: That's not enlightening for this situation, please just make sure those 2 files match for host portion | 02:15 |

| starcannon | Lempface cinelerra is one reason i'm not upgrading one of my machines, I don't want to compile it again lol | 02:17 |

| === orudie is now known as or_u_die | ||
| RyanPrior | So, what edit does one make to the /etc/sudoers to accomodate this new hostname? | 02:18 |
| Pord | Is there a way to put gnome 2.22 onto ubuntu 7.10? I dont want to put hardy heron on again as it messes up laptop and is very unstable | 02:18 |
| FFEMTcJ | i used to have another system running ubuntu, which worked right out of the box.. but this one isnt and i cant figure out why | 02:19 |
| RyanPrior | My /etc/sudoers doesn't even have my hostname in it . | 02:19 |
| John117 | My keyboard is not working in Grub. It works in bios, and it works in ubuntu. I just can't select a different operating system. Any suggestions? | 02:19 |
| fde | RyanPrior: one edits /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 02:19 |
| starcannon | FFEMTcJ have you tried linneighborhood? | 02:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | nope | 02:19 |
| FFEMTcJ | looking into it now | 02:19 |
| croddy | John117, is it a USB keyboard? | 02:19 |
| MrGnu | Ok all, Howdy... Ok, I bought the Maxtor 4 Mini Backup hard drive, and i ended up getting it for the EEEp | 02:19 |
| MrGnu | eeepc | 02:19 |
| === or_u_die is now known as orudie | ||
| MrGnu | here is my question | 02:19 |
| Lempface | fde: i need something to make a video out from stills... time lapse style | 02:19 |
| RyanPrior | fde: But if you're looking in /etc/hosts to find out what the hostname is in the first place, how does editing that file help??? | 02:19 |
| John117 | croddy: yes | 02:19 |
| fde | Lempface: Look at Kino | 02:19 |
| brunner | how much would it slow things down if I just encrypted my home directory? | 02:19 |
| MrGnu | xubuntu for eee pc, or hardy? | 02:19 |
| croddy | see if your BIOS supports "usb keyboard emulation", otherwise, you'll have to plug in a PS/2 keyboard for that. | 02:19 |
| John117 | croddy: and it has worked before. Until just a few minutes ago. | 02:20 |
| croddy | oh | 02:20 |
| croddy | hmm | 02:20 |
| fde | RyanPrior: It needs to match what is in /etc/hostname ... that's all. | 02:20 |
| RyanPrior | brunner: Very very little. Phoronix has some benchmarks - it's a tiny overhead. | 02:20 |
| John117 | croddy: it works in the bios. | 02:20 |
| croddy | brunner, not much, but it won't help you much either. you want to *start* with encrypted swawp | 02:20 |
| croddy | swap even | 02:20 |
| brunner | Is there good reason to encrypt anything other than home and swap? | 02:20 |
| miron | I've got a perl module that has errors on line 5, which states "use Lingua::EN::Tagger; | 02:20 |
| miron | " | 02:20 |
| fde | croddy: Most modern systems never even touch swap. | 02:20 |
| compy | which dock do you all recommend awn? | 02:20 |
| miron | What do I need to get to make this work? | 02:20 |
| Starnestommy | miron: what is the error? | 02:20 |
| RyanPrior | fde: Does it matter which one you change to match the other? | 02:20 |
| miron | BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at modules/con.pl line 5. | 02:21 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on my computer. I am using a clone computer (not a brand name comupter) with an amd athlon processer, 390mb ram, 7 gigs of hard disk space, and currently running windows 2000. I put the disk in and when it goes to the install screen and I hit install it goes to a completely black screen with only a cursor in the upper left | 02:21 |
| brunner | and, how much would an encrypted swap slow me down? I have 2GB of RAM. | 02:21 |
| starcannon | swap still good for laptops and other systems that need to suspend/resume or hibernate | 02:21 |
| fde | RyanPrior: nope, they just have to match so sudo stops getting confused :) | 02:21 |
| brunner | The only application that ever causes me to use swap is Firefox lol | 02:21 |
| croddy | fde, i insist that encrypting swap is the most important thing of all, since terible things are likely to show up there even for a user who is fastidious about everything else on the system. | 02:21 |
| Dr_willis | compy, i find most of these 'docks' to be just eyesore-eyecaney. I stick with the normal gnome panel. Much less hassles | 02:21 |
| Starnestommy | miron: is the modyle Lingua::EN::Tagger installed? | 02:21 |
| Starnestommy | *module | 02:21 |
| miron | That's what I think it is | 02:21 |
| RyanPrior | fde: so, I could change my hostname in both locations to "chocolaterain" and it would not break anything? | 02:21 |
| miron | but I'm running kde, so I have a disturbing lack of synaptic | 02:21 |
| miron | so how do I install it? | 02:22 |
| RyanPrior | miron: Maybe ask in #kubuntu then | 02:22 |
| croddy | some stay dry, just make the hosts the same. | 02:22 |
| miron | er, right | 02:22 |
| fde | croddy: gcc has many features that ensures apps are compiled in a way that doesn't allow memory hacks | 02:22 |
| fde | RyanPrior: yup | 02:22 |
| compy | Dr_willis, yeah i understand, does AWN use much resources? | 02:22 |
| HindenPeter | K, I'm having trouble installing the ATI proprietary drivers following the instructions linked to on the ATI site. Mainly the fact that ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run doesn't work. | 02:22 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma did you checksum the iso before you burned it? what video card are you using, perhaps choose F4 at the menu screen and choose safe graphics mode from there, if you have a wierd piece of hardware perhaps even an alternate install cd may be required | 02:22 |
| _0xf001 | is there a command line to switch teh port for ssh service | 02:23 |
| fde | croddy: SELinux also is a good add-on to that situation for the paranoid... I currently have 2gb RAM, I haven't seen swap get close to being used in years. | 02:23 |
| _0xf001 | its not workin by changing config and restarting | 02:23 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I bought the CD from one of the places ubuntu reccomended | 02:23 |
| pjv | what's a good free shoot em game ? | 02:23 |
| fde | croddy: For flash though, you can ensure it is well behaved... that is probably the most insecure addon for any desktop system. | 02:23 |
| brunner | fde: yes I have. Have you used firefox lately? | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | compy, no idea - last i tried to use awn - it had so many other problems i found it totally unuseable | 02:24 |
| fde | brunner: I keep Firefox running almost 24/7 ... | 02:24 |
| croddy | i see some swap usage right now for sure, on systems with 2GB of memory | 02:24 |
| brunner | and it never consumes 1GB of RAM? | 02:24 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma nod, its probably a good disk then, have you tried the f4 and safe graphics option at the boot menu yet? | 02:24 |
| croddy | since you say swap is unlikely to be used, then there is clearly no harm possible in encrypting it. | 02:24 |
| brunner | I don't believe you. | 02:24 |
| Lempface | im on a dual boot, can i transfer files from this partition to my windows partition? | 02:25 |
| jumpkick | FF3b5 is fubar | 02:25 |
| fde | brunner: firefox 3 has never used that much ram for me. | 02:25 |
| croddy | i have *never* seen firefox use 1 GB of memory. | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | Lempface, yes you can. | 02:25 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I'll try that now, if it doesn | 02:25 |
| brunner | I just restarted firefox, I haven't touched it after loading five tabs as I browsed, and it's already using 160MB of RAM | 02:25 |
| croddy | not 3, not 2, not 1.5... not 0.8. | 02:25 |
| Pord | does any1 know if there will be a backport of gnome 2.22 for gutsy? Also if not how can I get 2.22 on gutsy? | 02:25 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | doesn't work I'll make sure to tell you. | 02:25 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma cool I'll be back and forth from the KB but I'll keep an eye out for you | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | Lempface, You can mount read/write Ntfs under linxu with the ntfs-3g tool. and windows can read/write ext3 filesystems with some other tools | 02:25 |
| fde | brunner: Mine stays around 30MB unless I'm using a bunch of flash sites, then it goes nuts. | 02:25 |
| Hammer89 | anyone else notice firefox 3 causing pidgin to hang up? | 02:26 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | thanks starcannon | 02:26 |
| MachinTrucChose | anyone know why torrents on Ubuntu would be much slower than Windows? I mean technical reasons, not user configuration stuff like port-forwarding. Is it possible the quality of wireless drivers could affect torrent speeds? | 02:26 |
| brunner | wtf? | 02:26 |
| brunner | 30MB? | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | MachinTrucChose, wireless drivers can affect speeds. Not just torrent speeds | 02:26 |
| brunner | no way. | 02:26 |
| miron | So what would the module Lingua::EN::Tagger be called in synaptic? | 02:26 |
| brunner | fde: how did you get it to only use 30MB? | 02:26 |
| compy | what was that, i missed that last post to me! | 02:26 |
| fde | brunner: at start up for firefox 3, yes | 02:26 |
| speedeep | Help with Hardy Heron on Dell 1420N with Intel 3845 Wireless adapter built in? Everything seems to be working reasonably well, but the network acts really flaky.

Everything worked fine with the exact same hardware/software on Gutsy Gibbon, so I'm trying | 02:26 |
| Starnestommy | miron: probably liblingua-en-tagger-perl | 02:26 |
| miron | #kubuntu was no help | 02:27 |
| brunner | oh, at startup, sure | 02:27 |
| brunner | try using it for a few hours | 02:27 |
| croddy | mine's been up for a couple of hours and is close to... 80 MB it looks like. | 02:27 |
| brunner | it's Firefox. | 02:27 |
| mipstien | im having a really hard time working with the upgrade to 8.04 and trying to get the nvidia drivers isntalled and working correctly. i have used envyng i have used the restricted built in drivers and manually installing them. im extremely lost as to what i should attempt to do next. it just stays in low graphics mode | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | miron, you are refering to a perl module? | 02:27 |
| MachinTrucChose | drwillis: my download speed test at speakeasy is 5000kbps download. The highest speed I got using bittorrent is 40kb/s. | 02:27 |
| miron | Yes | 02:27 |
| fde | brunner: I have adblock and noscripts ... so every site I visit does as it's told. | 02:27 |
| harksaw | Does anyone know why I get a message saying "SSLfilter: unable to load unix openssl" when I open a news downloader called nzb? | 02:27 |
| MachinTrucChose | That's on the official Ubuntu torrent, with tons of seeds | 02:27 |
| miron | and I don't see it under synaptic | 02:27 |
| brunner | and it's the ONLY reason why I have 2GB of RAM | 02:27 |
| brunner | well, okay, VMware is the real reason | 02:27 |
| Starnestommy | miron: it can also be installed throgh cpan with sudo cpan Lingua::EN::Tagger or sudo cpan install Lingua::EN::Tagger | 02:27 |
| tinsleyjr | can anyone help me trying to revert back to firefox 2.0.0.14? | 02:27 |
| brunner | but Firefox is the reason I need 1GB of RAM | 02:27 |
| nuge | on my hardy system, there is something (some cron job) which is changing the permissions of my log files to root/644. i have a custom app which runs as a different user and it can't write to it's own log after a while... what could be resetting the permissions?? | 02:27 |
| brunner | =P | 02:27 |
| miron | Sweet, thanks | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | MachinTrucChose, Hook up to wired and see if its any better, thats about the only way to test to se eif its a wireless issue | 02:28 |
| Starnestommy | harksaw: are openssl and libssl0.9.8 installed? | 02:28 |
| Atomic_UE | I have very annoying apps that can't fit on *x800 screen. How can I unset the Constrain Y option? Can't seem to find it in CCSM 0.7.4 | 02:28 |
| harksaw | Starnestommy, yes | 02:29 |
| Starnestommy | harksaw: and libssl-dev ? | 02:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | drwillis: good idea...but that'll take some effort, I'll have to move the router and the modem | 02:29 |
| Atomic_UE | nm my problem is fixed ;) | 02:29 |
| harksaw | Starnestommy, no I don't have the dev. I will install that now, thank you! | 02:29 |
| brunner | is there any reason to encrypt my entire disk, instead of just /home and swap, if I'm not running a traditional server? | 02:29 |
| croddy | brunner, if you do not want an attacker to see what software you have installer, or read your logs, or your configuration files... | 02:30 |
| litlebuda | harksaw, changed the default 22 to something else ? and did you enabled that port on iptables ? | 02:30 |
| brunner | well, I don't care if anyone knows what packages I have installed | 02:30 |
| axisys | anyone know of a channel that talks about cell phones | 02:30 |
| brunner | croddy: what logs would matter that aren't in /home? | 02:31 |
| fde | brunner: excuse the horrible URL, but: http://lh3.ggpht.com/francis.earl/SCEGQaMUqtI/AAAAAAAAACU/t2334wh3Qks/proof.png | 02:31 |
| RyanPrior | fde: Thanks for the help. I can't test the solution, but I think I understand the problem well enough to help my friend. | 02:31 |
| harksaw | litlebuda, if it isn't the dev package, I will check those, thank you | 02:31 |
| brunner | fde: woah. | 02:31 |

| RyanPrior | tinsleyjr: You cry. | 02:32 |
| fde | RyanPrior: Firefox can be well behaved :) | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | tinsleyjr, you can install the firefox-2 package | 02:32 |
| croddy | tinsleyjr, install the firefox-2 package and then restore your firefox profile from the backup | 02:32 |
| o0Chris0o | how do I get the restricted extras for ubuntu | 02:32 |
| litlebuda | harksaw, im almoust sure its a iptables (firewall) thing | 02:32 |

| RyanPrior | fde: Haha, my Firefox is using 286mb of RAM right now. | 02:33 |
| harksaw | litlebuda, ok, I will look intto that. I didn't think that was it because it works fine without SSL, but maybe the non-SSL port is automatically cleared | 02:33 |
| RyanPrior | fde: I thought your screen shot was proof of a bug with font rendering or something though - that's pretty ugly. | 02:33 |
| plik | _0xf001: bonjour / rendezvous | 02:33 |
| croddy | that's not ugly -- that's helvetica | 02:33 |
| fde | RyanPrior: Looks good on my monitor... heh | 02:33 |
| _0xf001 | plik : hi | 02:33 |
| Starnestommy | _0xf001: it might be mdns | 02:33 |
| plik | _0xf001: hi, but I meant thats what port 5353 udp is | 02:34 |
| _0xf001 | Starnestommy i did netstat -tulpn | 02:34 |
| RyanPrior | Any way I can revert to the Linux 2.4 kernel in Hardy? | 02:34 |
| plik | the service called "bonjour" formerly know as rendezvous -- lets local devices see each other | 02:34 |
| harksaw | It was the libssl-dev package, I installed that and now it works. Thanks Starnestommy!!! | 02:34 |
| _0xf001 | and theres a few ports listeningin on my box im just trying to tighten it | 02:34 |
| Starnestommy | RyanPrior: I think you'll have to use a 2.6 | 02:35 |
| croddy | RyanPrior, out of curiosity why do you want a 2.4 kernel? | 02:35 |
| djhash | hey.. i have ubuntu slpash problem when booting and shutting down.. I've changed settings so that it would display on 1024x768 and it works perfectly.. but my screen can view 1280x1024.. thats where my splash wont show.. the desktop loads at 1280x1024 perfectly no problems.. any help is appreciated... | 02:35 |
| RyanPrior | croddy: For testing purposes. It would be nice to be able to boot into a 2.4 or a 2.6. | 02:35 |
| croddy | RyanPrior, you might want to use a virtual machine for that | 02:36 |
| kuahara | Is there a way to force mount an unknown volume/type/size I previously had XP x64 installed as a primary os and attempted to use partition magic to resize a partition. Didn't work, but there were no noticeable changes. When I later deleted the 125GB partition, it showed back up as an 8MB partition | 02:36 |

| yowshi | does anyone know if there are any drivers for the supremeFX audio card? | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | yowshi, check the alsa homepage to see how well its supported | 02:37 |
| errorlevel | Is there an easy way for someone to switch from using swfdec to using the flash-nonfree plugin after having made the choice to use swfdec? | 02:38 |
| Chrysalis | anyone know whats the name of the gnome-python-extras in ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| yowshi | !alsa | 02:38 |
| 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 | 02:38 |

| voidmage | so i'm impressed. my laptop runs 64 bit better than 32 bit. all the power management features, suspend and hibernate all work. now if only they'd package zsnes for 64bit... | 02:38 |
| fde | errorlevel: just remove swfdec and install flashplugin-nonfree | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | kuahara, You got a space in the wrong place its 'ntfs-3g' | 02:38 |

| John117 | When upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 does it also upgrade to a newer version of Grub? That may be why my USB keyboard stopped working. It has always worked before. It works in bios, and in ubuntu but not grub | 02:39 |

| John117 | When upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 does it also upgrade to a newer version of Grub? That may be why my USB keyboard stopped working. It has always worked before. It works in bios, and in ubuntu but not grub | 02:40 |

| randal | i installed vitrualbox works great but i am haveing troble geting the internet working | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | yowshi, thats not a good sign. You may want to do some googling for that card and linux. It Might not be supported at all. | 02:40 |
| fde | yowshi: Are you running Linux currently? (distro or livecd doesn't matter) | 02:40 |
| node357 | if I install Ubuntu on a dual-core machine, does it automatically use both cores? | 02:40 |
| Dark-Fx | yes | 02:40 |
| croddy | node357, yes | 02:40 |
| kuahara | I corrected the command, it now returns: fuse: failed to access mountpoint media/disk: No such file or directory | 02:40 |
| fde | !repeat | randal | 02:40 |
| ubottu | randal: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 02:40 |

| yowshi | Dr_willis: i googled and got like thousands of hits and everyone i could see was omsone asking wether or not this card would work or help for vista | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | kuahara, the mount point directory you are mounting TO MUST exist befrhand. | 02:41 |
| voidmage | also if only they'd package getlibs | 02:41 |
| voidmage | :P | 02:41 |
| djhash | node357: you need to makesure you use the generic and not i386 | 02:41 |

| yowshi | fde: didnt botch the install or nothing. i am just having problems getting voicechat working on SL and someone suggested looking for drivers | 02:41 |
| croddy | harksaw, it means you are missing the PGP key for that APT repository | 02:42 |

| kuahara | it obviously sees it though | 02:42 |
| kuahara | how can I force mount? | 02:42 |

| John117 | dr_willis i checked there and there is no option for usb legacy support. as the keyboard works in bios, i assume that this feature is enabled. And it strikes me as odd that it worked once then stopped. | 02:47 |
| llamakc | tinsleyjr: you can either create a launcher to fire up firefox-2.0 (or whatever the binary is) or change the symlink. | 02:47 |

| Sunx | is upgrading to 8.04 considered a kernel upgrade? | 02:49 |
| fuzzypig | but my network has never done that before. | 02:50 |
| croddy | it contains a kernel upgrade among many other upgrades, Sunx | 02:50 |
| yowshi | Sunx: yes | 02:50 |
| fde | Sunx: the kernel will be upgraded... if that's what you mean? heh | 02:50 |
| Sunx | ok thanks | 02:50 |
| yowshi | i've heard horrid horrid thingds about the upgrade so i am going to wait till it is stable | 02:50 |

| croddy | ComputerRick, you probably need build-essential at the least to compile third party source code | 02:51 |
| starcannon | Sunx yeah 8.04 has 2.6.24-16-generic kernel 7.10 used 2.6.22-something-generic | 02:51 |
| yowshi | the upgrade experience post for hardy is full of problematic upgrades | 02:51 |
| fuzzypig | oh god | 02:51 |
| mr0xf001 | fde: this is what i get sudo: /etc/init.d/dhclient: command not found | 02:51 |
| fuzzypig | I shouldn't have upgraded D: | 02:51 |
| fde | unop: not 100% ... but they certainly recompile everything in main for the new gcc and glibc etc... a rebuild causes a new version, thus an update. | 02:52 |
| litlebuda | Sunx, here it is http://groups.google.com/group/vmkernelnewbies/files | 02:52 |
| croddy | the only thing i would call problematic about hardy is the choice of firefox 3, and i mean that with the most pedantic definition of "problematic" | 02:52 |

| mr0xf001 | sudo: /etc/init.d/dhclient: command not found | 02:52 |

| kuahara | Is there ANY way to locate 125GB of missing unallocated space??????????? | 02:54 |
| mauilion2 | can someone guide me to a howto on downgrading the fglrx driver? | 02:54 |
| llamakc | my bad mr0xf001 i see fde has it | 02:54 |
| djhash | yowshy: oops.. yeah ur right.. anyways.. i'm reconsidering my point since i've had problems myself.. and didn't realize the forum was that filled..lol | 02:54 |
| starcannon | kuahara gparted perhaps | 02:54 |
| Rafase282 | hola, donde puedo encontrar themes para el nuevo ubuntu? | 02:54 |
| mr0xf001 | llamakc; what exactly is the service used for? | 02:54 |
| fde | unop: things like python apps even, they will have updated python, so there will be a repackage... | 02:54 |
| mr0xf001 | fde; thanks for your help | 02:54 |
| croddy | Rafase282, gnome-look.org or the APT repositories and this channel is english-only, sorry | 02:54 |
| fde | mr0xf001: it is for automatically getting IP info from a DHCP server. | 02:55 |
| redrebel | usas gnome o kde/? | 02:55 |
| djhash | yowshi: if you are willing to wait, maybe you can wait for the next release which would be in a few months | 02:55 |
| soldats | !es > Rafase282 | 02:55 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I think it's my computer because it's a piece of junk. | 02:55 |
| croddy | someone make the bot do the bilingual announcement about spanish | 02:55 |
| croddy | thanks | 02:55 |
| kuahara | this os is so freakin weak | 02:55 |
| fde | !es | redrebel | 02:55 |
| unop | fde, again, not necessarily true .. it's possible that new builds of a package use the same old underlying libraries, it's just that changes have been made to the upstream package | 02:55 |
| ubottu | redrebel: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 02:55 |
| yowshi | fde anyway what should i install to get the libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio thing | 02:55 |

| croddy | kuahara, your partition table is probably hosed. you need a filesystem guru, not a few lines in an IRC channel. | 02:56 |
| luzzc | Escriba el texto aquí....HOLAAAAAAAAAA | 02:56 |
| fde | unop: With main, and even universe for an LTS release, that will be tried to be true provided they have time... | 02:56 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma I'm not sure why its not letting you boot, when I have stubborn hardware I won't fight with it on a livecd I just go download an alternate install cd and go that way | 02:56 |
| kuahara | thats what I'm trying to figure out is if there is a way to repair a damaged partition table | 02:56 |
| ComputerRick | I can't get my server online. Can someone help with the network drivers? ifconfig shows all the proper static settings, but I do not have network access. I've been trying to get alternate drivers, having trouble. | 02:56 |
| kuahara | I swear partition magic fucked it all up | 02:57 |
| ComputerRick | CLI - no gui. | 02:57 |
| croddy | yeah, i've seen PM do a turd all over disks before kuahara | 02:57 |
| fde | unop: If a package refuses to build, and isn't supported, they might not have it use latest libs, but then it causes maintenance issues trying to maintain 2+ versions of the same lib. | 02:57 |
| kuahara | is that 125GB lost forever? | 02:57 |
| djhash | kuahara: try Parted Magic.. it is gparted version of Partition magic.. and since its linux.. its better than partition magic | 02:57 |
| kuahara | I'd at least like to recover the storage space | 02:57 |
| Rafase282 | hello, where can I download ubuntu themes? | 02:57 |
| fde | unop: something that is done of course, but is a goal to avoid. | 02:57 |
| croddy | Rafase282, gnome-look.org or look through the APT repositories | 02:57 |
| kuahara | I am running ubuntu off a disk since there is no place to install it | 02:58 |
| kuahara | being that it thinks I have 2x 8MB partitions | 02:58 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I don't have a very great burner at my disposal and I'm not sure which one to get. | 02:58 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: easy enough to zero the first block and start all over.. but do you want to fix it without just wiping the whole disk and starting over? | 02:58 |
| kuahara | and the "full" 130GB part | 02:58 |
| starcannon | kuahara probably not lost forever, i didn't notice if you tried gparted yet or not, it may be showing up as free space, and could possible be brought back by resizing a partition | 02:58 |
| kuahara | zcat, if I can get the whole drive back that'd be fine | 02:58 |
| === MrDowntempo_ is now known as MrDowntempo | ||
| kuahara | rescuing the data is secondary and I'm considering it lost already | 02:58 |
| djhash | kuahara: Make another boot CD or boot USB using Parted Magic.. its done wonders for me.. it'll even mount partitions to retrieve data from it.. | 02:58 |
| unop | fde, nope .. what defines a new version is the way the package lists are created .. the packages in the pool directories in repositories do not cater to a specific version of ubuntu rather the package lists do that and they refer to packages | 02:58 |
| CeGue | morning | 02:58 |
| croddy | if you are considering the data lost, kuahara, i would recommend nuking the whole thing and repartitioning from scratch | 02:58 |
| kuahara | djhash, but how do I burn the files to CD with that boot disk | 02:59 |
| kuahara | croddy how...it only lets me create new 8MB parts | 02:59 |
| fde | unop: are you a MOTU or similar? | 02:59 |
| Battlefrank | hi | 02:59 |
| drivetrax | checking for gcc... gcc | 02:59 |

| drivetrax | ??? | 02:59 |
| djhash | kuahara: can you run the Ubuntu LiveCD?!!! | 02:59 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma pioneer, plextor, sony, dell surplus, just about anything will work. I use pricewatch and newegg to buy my gear myself, if your wanting one tonight you may have to shuck it on down to a brick and mortar where you live though | 02:59 |
| kuahara | djhash yes | 02:59 |

| Rafase282 | yeah is that i'm suing both of them and st the message to the wrong window | 03:00 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: I'd start with gparted .. you probably are just trying to add the new partition in the wrong place, eg if the disk is "8m free | 128G used | 128G free" and you add a new partition, it will try and use the first (8m) block of free space instead of the 128G block you wanted | 03:00 |
| jrib | drivetrax: there's no need to compile. It's packaged in the universe repository (in gutsy too). | 03:00 |
| Rafase282 | but thanks | 03:00 |
| drivetrax | ohhh! neato | 03:00 |
| Battlefrank | go to http://www.viewmypast.com/ and block yourselves! YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PRIVACY VIOLATED. | 03:00 |

| Rafase282 | and I use gnome, redrebel | 03:01 |
| jrib | drivetrax: you need the build-essential package | 03:01 |
| fde | unop: ok, well say the kernel 2.6.24-16 ... the 16 here is the amount the package has been built and pushed to the build system, you don't have to make changes to push, just a new build. | 03:01 |
| drivetrax | I want it | 03:01 |
| jrib | bpat1434: uname -a | 03:01 |
| nemo | hey folks. I'm a little concerned since I seem to be on a higher kernel number than other folks on hardy. how can I find out if I'm on maybe some dev tree? | 03:01 |
| bpat1434 | jrib: thanks | 03:01 |
| drivetrax | jrib, what package | 03:01 |
| kuahara | zcat thats almost right... what actually happened was this: I had 8mb part, 125used 125used (storage on the 2nd part). I deleted the primary part (drive C) and when it went back out to the menu where it shows my partitions it showed up as 8|8?125 | 03:01 |
| jrib | drivetrax: build-essential | 03:01 |
| kuahara | 8|8|125 * | 03:01 |
| todd_ | I have irregular sized text in odd places. The Login screen, random websites (ubuntu 8.04 64bit) http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8346/screenshotwo7.png | 03:01 |

| nemo | I wonder why. | 03:02 |
| starcannon | Tujalta_Surma cd burners, you said you didn't have a good one and werent sure what one to get | 03:02 |
| Kaemon12433 | brb | 03:02 |
| nemo | perhaps I needed it at some point | 03:03 |
| Xcell | ok folks, im here, (but) if U Upgraded, im not, if you clean installed...i may an help. | 03:03 |
| Xcell | can | 03:03 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: if you do a fresh install and tell it to use the whole disk, it should wipe the partition table and start clean. Otherwise there's a nasty trick you can do that basically sets the disk back to factory-clean | 03:03 |
| kuahara | if restoring files is easy with gparted, I would like to do that | 03:03 |
| kuahara | my wife already cried when I told her that 2nd partition was gone | 03:03 |
| kuahara | all the baby pics, etc... were stored there | 03:03 |
| jrib | kuahara: gparted doesn't restore files. It formats partitions | 03:03 |
| croddy | definitely look into making backups in the future | 03:03 |
| croddy | a hard disk failure would have got you eventually anyway. | 03:04 |
| kuahara | croddy I do normally. I use shared hosting at hostmonster | 03:04 |
| b0x | wat FTP Server do u recommend? a gui interface would be a preference | 03:04 |
| b0x | id recommend burning CDs for photos u want to keep | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | oh, well it's probably all still there. You want 'gpart' which will look at the filesystem and tell you how the partition table should be | 03:04 |
| kuahara | I have 1.5TB of online storage | 03:04 |
| seadogg615 | need help keeping my bluetooth elite keyboard from disconnecting | 03:04 |
| starcannon | kuahara gparted also lets you resize partitions in a non destructive way (caveat nothings for sure cept' death and taxes) | 03:04 |
| b0x | wat FTP Server do u recommend? a gui would be a preference | 03:04 |
| nubbie_ | Banshee 1.x beta 1 is live! http://banshee-project.org | 03:04 |
| RequinB4 | !best | b0x, i Recommend gFTP, but | 03:04 |
| ubottu | b0x, i Recommend gFTP, but: 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. | 03:04 |
| Xcell | kuahara: if its online..itas still there | 03:04 |
| Xcell | its | 03:04 |
| kuahara | xcell not everything was backed up | 03:05 |
| croddy | b0x, i like proftpd but if you need a gui to configure it you are going to be stuck with the worst of toilet FTP servers | 03:05 |
| kuahara | she takes pics and records videos all the time, I have other crap to do than daily backups of her junk =p | 03:05 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: if all you did is remove the partition, you can set it back (gpart will figure out how it was) and everything should still be there | 03:05 |
| drivetrax | jrib, when I open add/remove.. I cannot locate the file | 03:05 |
| kuahara | zcat thx. will gparted do that? | 03:05 |
| croddy | kuahara, i bet if she reads that line she will cry again | 03:05 |

| zcat[1] | gparted will edit the partition table, although I'd probably use fdisk for this. 'gpart' will guess where the partition should be based on the underlying filesystem in the empty space | 03:06 |
| Xcell | kuahara: u were the one that said it was (all) on line...roght? | 03:06 |
| croddy | b0x i don't think there is an FTP server in ubuntu that is configured by a means other than text files | 03:06 |
| Xcell | right | 03:06 |
| djhash | kuahara: Try Parted Magic.. if the missing partition ended up being just a hidden partition.. Parted Magic can mount it and you can copy it to either a USB drive or another partition. | 03:06 |
| Xcell | giggy with it son | 03:06 |
| unop | fde, that's an internal reference .. but what really matters is the relationship packages have with one another, the dependencies and reverse dependencies as specified in a debian control file of a source package.. apt will always try and maintain these relationships irrespective of the version of ubuntu .. meaning it is possible for you to run a mixed system feisty/gutsy, gutsy/hardy, etc | 03:06 |

| unop | fde, what i would like to say in few words is, that it is entirely possible for a package with the same version string to be part of two release versions of debian/ubuntu | 03:11 |
| kitche | Andares: I believe pidgin actually removed silc I believe from the program but then again pidgin developers are very uptight about stuff | 03:12 |
| kamui | hmm | 03:12 |
| kuahara | zcat, I'm talking from a windows machine atm. The linux machine is the one in distress =o | 03:12 |
| zcat[1] | hehe, just ran gparted on this box and noticed I'm using 'murderfs' ;) | 03:12 |
| PseudoOne | djhash: thanks | 03:12 |
| Andares | kitche, it shows pidgin having it in the about file, and my version of pidgin (2.3.1) has it. | 03:12 |
| fde | unop: certainly not 2 release versions of Debian... heh | 03:12 |
| shyam_k | ne idea about the package debpartial? | 03:12 |
| kamui | is there a second location other than xorg.conf that X would get information about pointing devices? | 03:12 |
| * croddy runs off to check on sentencing | 03:12 | |
| animals | good naight | 03:12 |
| djhash | PseudoOne: no problem.. this time.. make your own backup copy ;-) | 03:12 |
| pawan | how to install 5200 drivers through envying | 03:12 |
| animals | happy day animal's http://www.youtube.com/v/xH-K9H3qpwQ&hl=en | 03:12 |
| PseudoOne | nano won't do it automatically :< | 03:13 |
| RequinB4 | !envy | 03:13 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: gparted's on the live CD afaik.. it's what the installer uses | 03:13 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 03:13 |
| djhash | kamui: where can i find xorg.conf? been looking for it for a while!!! | 03:13 |
| Kaemon12433 | OK | 03:13 |
| fde | djhash: /etc/X11 | 03:13 |
| PseudoOne | djhash: Hardy Heron right? | 03:13 |
| PseudoOne | :) | 03:13 |
| Kaemon12433 | my sound comes out the wrong port...i have a SB live! | 03:13 |
| djhash | YES!!! EUREKA!!! lol.. thanks | 03:13 |
| Kaemon12433 | any help? | 03:13 |
| RequinB4 | !sound | 03:13 |
| 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 | 03:13 |
| DaveyJ | quick question | 03:13 |
| Kaemon12433 | !sound | 03:13 |
| DaveyJ | how do you flush the dns cache in ubuntu? | 03:14 |
| djhash | !ask | DaveyJ | 03:14 |
| ubottu | DaveyJ: 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. :-) | 03:14 |
| DaveyJ | i didnt | 03:14 |
| kamui | djhash: while I appreciate jokes at my expense, Im really at a loss to explain why I have no pointers defined in xorg.conf and it still works | 03:14 |
| RequinB4 | kamui: That's because the new X doesn't work that way anymore | 03:14 |
| fde | DaveyJ: You're running BIND or similar? Or just in the browser? | 03:14 |
| kuahara | the live cd comes in a zip file (or similar), when I extract it and burn these files straight to CD, will this cd be bootable? | 03:14 |
| DaveyJ | i'm running a basic set up | 03:14 |
| RequinB4 | kamui: It's based off of periodic "realitime" checks of your hardware | 03:14 |
| DaveyJ | just that google wont load | 03:14 |
| DaveyJ | and a bunch of images from another site wont load | 03:14 |
| zcat[1] | the new 'bulletproof X' will run no matter what crap you put in xorg.conf .. | 03:15 |
| soldats | kamui: do you mean pointer as in where the cursor sits on the screen | 03:15 |
| * croddy is building a secret gun to kill the bulletproof X | 03:15 | |
| djhash | DaveyJ: have you tried disabling the network connection, then re-enabling it? | 03:15 |
| DaveyJ | i was using opendns on my router but i took it out | 03:15 |
| DaveyJ | no i have not :) | 03:15 |
| zcat[1] | croddy: won't work. It's bulletproof! | 03:15 |
| fiyawerx_ | zcat[1], do you know where resolution settings are kept now? | 03:15 |
| kamui | soldats: I mean I removed configured mouse, trackpad, and touchpoint from my xorg pointers config and edited the appropriate section. Yet they all still work, albet badly | 03:15 |
| RequinB4 | zcat[1]: Who said the gun shoots bullets? | 03:15 |
| DaveyJ | alrighty, lets try onw | 03:15 |
| zcat[1] | fiyawerx: no idea | 03:15 |
| Gerinych | my num/caps/scroll lock lights don't light up | 03:15 |
| DaveyJ | and it worked! thank you | 03:16 |
| zcat[1] | RequinB4: true. someone needs tr work on railgun-proof X | 03:16 |
| djhash | DaveyJ: If you go System->Administration->Network.. then uncheck the network card.. wait 10 seconds or so.. then check it back | 03:16 |
| kamui | RequinB4: how do I disable this auto hardware check | 03:16 |
| kamui | its breaking the touchscreen driver | 03:16 |
| DaveyJ | well not completely... google started working | 03:16 |
| === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid | ||
| RequinB4 | kamui: You'll have more luck learning more about how the new X works, which I haven't the slightest idea | 03:16 |
| fde | DaveyJ: failing that... unplug and plug back in modems and routers... for the same 10-20 secs | 03:16 |
| RequinB4 | kamui: last resort would be to use the old X | 03:16 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: are you there? | 03:16 |
| DaveyJ | too bad theres no simple command like /flushdns ;) | 03:17 |
| kouza2 | If any one is available to help me network, I would be greatly appreciative if you PM me to help me network. Please note im new to ubuntu so i may be a little bit of a noob =-/ | 03:17 |
| djhash | DaveyJ: is someone else on your network using probably something like bittorrent or so? | 03:17 |
| doctor_thunder | I can't connect to google, save via proxy | 03:17 |
| doctor_thunder | any ideas? | 03:17 |
| soldats | kamui: hmm, i think in xorg the only thiong there for pointers is the wacom part, not sure though. i do know that "xev" is availiable for mapping it but im not exactly sure that makes the pointers other than the obvious which is the mouse drivers | 03:17 |
| DaveyJ | nah | 03:17 |
| shyam_k | how can i search for a package in the ubuntu repo? | 03:17 |
| DaveyJ | the other computers dont do much | 03:17 |
| shyam_k | like the debian have.. | 03:17 |
| Kirce | so are there any python guru's here? | 03:17 |
| Starnestommy | shyam_k: aptitude search <package> | 03:17 |
| Starnestommy | Kirce: maybe in #python | 03:17 |
| RequinB4 | shyam_k: there is a search function in synaptic, for a GUI | 03:17 |
| DaveyJ | wtf why am i in roaming mode? | 03:17 |
| fde | shyam_k: System > Administration > Synaptic ... and hit "Search" is probably what you want. | 03:17 |
| shyam_k | but i dont have ubuntu installed..i asked about the ubuntu site | 03:18 |
| doctor_thunder | has google banned ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| PseudoOne | no? | 03:18 |
| RequinB4 | shyam_k: you want to search ubuntu packages without ubuntu installed? packages.ubuntu.com | 03:18 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma hi, sorry am learning how to set up LVM | 03:18 |
| croddy | no, they still run it internally | 03:18 |
| Starnestommy | doctor_thunder: no | 03:18 |
| zcat[1] | doctor_thunder: They probably just banned firefox :) | 03:18 |
| shyam_k | RequinB4: thanks. | 03:18 |
| fde | Starnestommy: it's not advisable for new users to search that way, as what they want would cause things like 'sudo aptitude search ~dvideo ~deditor' which is hard to remember for many. | 03:18 |
| djhash | PseudoOne: did you get the sources.list file? | 03:18 |
| Starnestommy | it's being very slow for me | 03:18 |
| kuahara | giving it a shot I guess...extracted the gparted live cd archive file to a folder on my desktop, created an iso and burning it to disk....will see if its bootable in a minute | 03:18 |
| doctor_thunder | really? | 03:18 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma whats up? | 03:18 |
| Wellsie1116 | i just want to mention that I was browsing the rooms, and this ubuntu room had the most members in the room at a given time. The number of users also happened to be 1337. | 03:19 |
| croddy | yessss | 03:19 |
| PseudoOne | djhash: I got a copy from Ubuntu Forums not sure if it will work but I will try | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | Woot, we're 1337! | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | darn, someone left :( | 03:19 |
| djhash | PseudoOne: ok.. let me know :-) | 03:19 |
| soldats | zcat[1]: you called it | 03:19 |
| djhash | DaveyJ: you can try ifup ifdown | 03:19 |
| PseudoOne | zcat[1]: :( Firefox <3 Google | 03:19 |
| kuahara | Disk boot failure -> insert system disk and press enter | 03:20 |
| kuahara | gparted doesn't do the job | 03:20 |
| fde | Wellsie1116: It's funny, cuz it's actually sort of low compared to what it's been recently... | 03:20 |
| djhash | DaveyJ: it'll actually take down the interface, then bring it back up | 03:20 |
| starcannon | I lamed out and let the wizard set up lvm for me, maybe once I can look at it all setup I'll get a better feel for it | 03:20 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I asked if you were talking about computers or alternate install CDs | 03:20 |
| starcannon | Tujalta_Surma cd burners, you said you didn't have a good one and werent sure what one to get | 03:20 |
| kuahara | djhash, can parted magic be used as a boot image? | 03:20 |
| fde | kuahara: it is a LiveCD | 03:20 |
| PseudoOne | djash: Well hope this works when I upgraded to hardy last time I had a kernel panic :( | 03:20 |
| shyam_k | ok so it seems the debpartial command described here has changed.. i would like to make a dvd what can be a replacement to that command used here http://howtoforge.com/dvd_images_of_ubuntu_repositories | 03:20 |
| shyam_k | ? | 03:20 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | I was talking about alternate install CDs | 03:21 |
| kuahara | fde whats does liveCD imply | 03:21 |
| Wellsie1116 | if anyone wants the screenshot: http://kevin.home.wellsie.net/ubuntu1337.jpg | 03:21 |
| elmer | The top and bottom panels are not showing up. Anybody know what's wrong? | 03:21 |
| djhash | kuahara: It is meant to be used as a boot image.. an it'll load itself onto the memory so that you can eject the CD after you boot it up.. | 03:21 |
| kouza2 | I need help connecting with my toshiba satellite (wireless) I have a atheros wireless card and was hoping for any assistance (Would prefer a PM over trying to fix it in here) | 03:21 |
| kuahara | djhash, liveCD or parted magic? | 03:21 |
| fde | kuahara: You boot to it and it runs off the CD rather than on the harddrive... it basically just runs 'gparted' for you in a self hosting environment. | 03:21 |
| kuahara | fde, all I can say is I tried and my comp doesn't seem to think its a bootable disk | 03:22 |
| kuahara | I burned the iso to cd | 03:22 |
| fde | kuahara: You're sure your system is set to boot from the CD first? | 03:22 |
| kuahara | positive | 03:22 |
| kouza2 | e and werent sure what one to get | 03:22 |
| kouza2 | * elmer ( | 03:22 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | starcannon: I was talking about alternate install CDs | 03:22 |
| fde | kuahara: the md5sum checked out? | 03:22 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma ah lol, got crossed up. Tuojalta_Surma another option if you have a windows install there would be to see if wubi will let you get it installed, the problem is to ambiguous for my level of expertise unfortunately | 03:22 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: silly question, but did you burn the iso as an image, not a file on the CD? | 03:23 |
| chamunks | is there an easy way to downgrade my mozilla firefox in hardy because beta 3 rc5 is sooo bloaty its rediculous | 03:23 |
| kuahara | when I download the livecd it is in bz2 file format | 03:23 |
| fde | kuahara: you're sure you don't just have a .iso on the CD, rather than a full CD layout? | 03:23 |
| kuahara | I extracted the bz2 and saved all the files as iso | 03:23 |
| kuahara | then burned the iso to disk | 03:23 |
| PseudoOne | djhash: meh, dcc doesn't seem to work well in konversation here :( | 03:23 |
| djhash | kuahara: LiveCD means a fully operational Operating System running from a CD without writing anything to the hard drive, and using the CD as its resource to read files from. Parted Magic is just like that, except that if you have enough memory in your PC it'll load the whole CD into memory, so you can use the CD-Drive for other purposes. | 03:23 |
| Kaemon12433 | sheesh the forums wont help my sound prob! | 03:23 |
| kouza2 | Need help networking, please pm if you have knowledge with this stuff (so i can keep up lol) | 03:23 |
| amenado | kuahara-> do you have an existing linux? you may be able to boot from a hd, by copying the livecd (expanded) and modify your menu.lst entry | 03:24 |
| Kaemon12433 | guides dont hepl my prob! | 03:24 |
| chamunks | or maybe is there a decent alternative to firefox? | 03:24 |
| kuahara | amenado, no this is the pickle I'm in. Whatever I do will need to be done from a livecd | 03:24 |
| patifa | Kaemon12433 calm down, what's going on? | 03:24 |
| amenado | kuahara-> what have you done? | 03:24 |
| Kaemon12433 | it's my sound | 03:24 |
| PseudoOne | djash: DCC status came a failure :( I've never been able to get DCC to work correctly with Konversation :) | 03:24 |
| kuahara | long story lol | 03:24 |
| Kaemon12433 | sound comes out of the wrong port | 03:24 |
| Kaemon12433 | on my sb live | 03:24 |
| Kaemon12433 | yesterday it came out the port before last | 03:24 |
| john-mike | Hi, I have a question about ports and Ubuntu Hardy. Do ports automatically open up when you start up a program, or do you manually have to open them yourself? | 03:24 |
| magichere | hei ,Is anybody could make the HDMI audio of nvidia`s graphic card ? | 03:24 |
| amenado | kuahara tell me the size of your vmlinuz .. i assume this is 8.04 ? | 03:25 |
| Tuojalta_Surma | Thanks for the help starcannon | 03:25 |
| CyberAgeVoodoo | Need help please. I know it's not supported, but how do I uninstall the ATI Control center and driver? all I see is a blank white screen and the propietary driver that shows up is wrong, shows firegl instead of radeon x1300 | 03:25 |
| fde | !enter | Kaemon12433 | 03:25 |
| ubottu | Kaemon12433: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:25 |
| Kaemon12433 | now it only comes out the last port. so i cant adjust sound or anything! | 03:25 |
| Starnestommy | john-mike: they open automatically by default | 03:25 |
| kuahara | amenado, will explain in a pm if you want | 03:25 |
| Starnestommy | john-mike: if you're behind a router, you might need to manually configure it | 03:25 |
| jvictor | Hi People, What is the best choice for IM with video and audio support? | 03:25 |
| starcannon | Tuojalta_Surma sorry I couldn't get you solved :( but blinking cursor in corner of screen isn't alot for my level of ability to go on :( | 03:25 |
| fde | kuahara: Can you look at the CD on your other OS, does it look normal, or is there just one file (the iso) on it? | 03:25 |
| kuahara | how do I get this bz2 file to CD in such a way that my other machine will boot off it? | 03:25 |
| djhash | PseudoOne: Let me see.. do you know a site I can upload it to so you can download it? | 03:25 |
| Kaemon12433 | and first things these admin guys do is tell em to go to the guides | 03:25 |
| kuahara | fde, file on disk | 03:26 |
| amenado | kuahara just tell me the size of the vmlinuz and lets see if its compatible still | 03:26 |
| john-mike | Starnestommy: Ah, ok! I've tried multiple times to forward a port on the router and have had no luck so I was thinking maybe it was Ubuntu blocking it still. | 03:26 |
| patifa | Kaemon12433: have you looked at the full sound control dialog yet? | 03:26 |
| Kaemon12433 | WELl the guide sdont help this particular prob | 03:26 |
| chamunks | is anyone else getting this problem when i load up firefox 3 beta rc5 (what seems to be packed with hardy) my cpu usage skyrockets | 03:26 |
| djhash | Kuahara: the file you download should be an ISO... | 03:26 |
| Kaemon12433 | not yet | 03:26 |
| kuahara | it wasn't | 03:26 |
| Kaemon12433 | how do i? | 03:26 |
| patifa | chamunks: yeah. There's a bunch of bug reports on how firefox uses a ton of CPU and thrashes the disk. | 03:26 |
| zcat[1] | fde: He extracted all the files from a tgz and made an iso (for all practical purposed, extracted files and put them on a CD) .. it probably won't be bootable | 03:26 |
| Starnestommy | john-mike: the program might be binding to 127.0.0.1 and not 0.0.0.0 | 03:26 |
| fde | kuahara: Yeah, that's bad... people are recommending 'isoburn' a Windows app... | 03:26 |
| PseudoOne | hmm i've used http://www.pipebytes.com/ that seemed to work :) | 03:26 |
| slestak | i have installed hardy on two machines succesfully with a particular cd. Its failing on the 3rd machine seriously. I've seen some forum posts wrt 2.6.24-16 kernel and optical drive issues. | 03:26 |
| patifa | Kaemon12433: GNOME? | 03:26 |
| djhash | Kuahara: http://exo.enarel.eu/mirror/partedmagic/ | 03:27 |
| Kaemon12433 | yea | 03:27 |
| frogscott | can someone tell me if I am no longer seeing my icons for pidgin and skype messengers in the task bar when they are minimized how to view them again? | 03:27 |
| chamunks | patifa, it makes me soo sad to see a browser that seems to have gathered such a following have so many issues lately... | 03:27 |
| amenado | kuahara did you use debootstrap to download the baselines ? | 03:27 |
| starcannon | chamunkks yeah FF3 has a few bells and whistles its sucking down a cool 73.4 mb of ram here, its asleep atm so its not biting my cpu | 03:27 |
| fde | zcat[1]: fwiw, your /boot or / partitions likely aren't bootable either. | 03:27 |
| slestak | i have base system installed, how can i disable the cdrom as a repo in vi so i can download rest of ubuntu and install from repo | 03:27 |
| john-mike | Starnestommy: Hmmm...could you explain that to me a little or point me in the right direction to understand what you mean? | 03:27 |
| Starnestommy | frogscott: enable the notification area in the panel | 03:27 |
| === todd_ is now known as Ubuntu_nub | ||
| kuahara | djhash, thx I'll try that | 03:27 |
| Starnestommy | john-mike: which program are you trying to run? | 03:27 |
| patifa | chamunks: it acts ok on Windows, so I don't understand what's going on unless the Ubuntu modifications are screwing it up. | 03:27 |
| frogscott | thanks let me try | 03:27 |
| slestak | the only line in my sources.list is the cdrom repo | 03:27 |
| Kaemon12433 | yea i'm using GNOME | 03:27 |
| zcat[1] | fde: without GRUB in my MBR, no.. and an iso without a bootsector isn't bootable either | 03:28 |
| john-mike | Starnestommy: I'm beyond even just setting it up, now I'm so frustrated at trying to do it I want to understand how this junk works! ;) I'm trying Transmission. | 03:28 |
| kuahara | that server is only feeding me 120k/sec =p | 03:28 |
| frogscott | lol thanks alot Starnes | 03:28 |
| chamunks | patifa, its mostly when any flash is involved but not just when it is. Like earlier today i connected to my torrentflux box and it just kept freezing and un freezing every few moments | 03:28 |
| kouza2 | Need help networking, please pm if you have knowledge with this stuff (so i can keep up lol) | 03:28 |
| kuahara | my hosting server sits on an OC-48 backbone | 03:28 |
| Jinxed- | hey | 03:28 |
| fde | zcat[1]: he said there is only 1 file on the disk... the iso ... a common error. | 03:28 |
| Jinxed- | What is a good program to play dvds on linux? | 03:28 |
| Kaemon12433 | who do i do? | 03:28 |
| starcannon | Jinxed LinDVD | 03:28 |
| fde | Jinxed-: Anything really... | 03:28 |
| starcannon | Jinxed or VLC either way :) | 03:29 |
| amenado | Jinxed--> vlc seems okay | 03:29 |
| djhash | PseudoOne: http://host01.pipebytes.com/get.php?key=10117898949938 | 03:29 |
| patifa | Kaemon12433: right click the sound control applet in the top applet bar and click Open Volume Control. Choose Edit > Preferences from the Volume Control. Add a few sound controls. See if you can get some different behavior from it. | 03:29 |
| FFEMTcJ | starcannon: I am still unable to get file sharing to work.. It worked when I was using 7.10, but now that im on 8.04 it doesnt.. any chance its a problem with 8.04? | 03:29 |
| Jinxed- | also anyone know why my computer monitor is much darker then my lcd monitor, but only for linux? | 03:29 |
| Sunx | ok i solved the problem of vmware not running after upgrade to 8.04....in case any else in the future or now have this problem here is the link that was extremely helpful: http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04 | 03:29 |
| kouza2 | Need help networking, please pm if you have knowledge with this stuff (so i can keep up lol) | 03:29 |
| Chrysalis | when i update something with package installer do i need to uninstall the old version first? | 03:29 |
| fde | Jinxed-: In most Linux media apps, it is a case of enabled the codecs, and picking a frontend you like. | 03:29 |
| Starnestommy | kouza2: just ask your questions about networking | 03:29 |
| zcat[1] | fde: he said he extracted the files from a tgz and built an ISO from them, I thought. can't be bothered scrolling back, but it won't be a bootable ISO unless one of those files was a boot image and he knew what to do with it. | 03:29 |
| jescis | is it possible to use a usb keyboard during bootup with grub? | 03:29 |
| PseudoOne | thanks :) | 03:29 |
| amenado | kouza2-> stay here so others can share the learnings | 03:29 |
| patifa | Chrysalis: if it's a properly done package, it 'conflicts' itself with the older version, causing the older version to be removed as the new one is installed. | 03:29 |
| Ubuntu_nub | I'm having a problem with firefox, using ubuntu 8.04. When I middle click on a link sometimes it opens a new tab, however sometimes it goes back for some odd reason. Anyone know whats causing this? | 03:29 |
| starcannon | FFEMTcJ your guess on that would be better than mine, I haven't used samba in over 5 years, since I made the complete switch to linux, I just ftp stuff now | 03:30 |
| fde | zcat[1]: yes... he created an ISO, and burned that ISO to the CD... which resulted in a .iso on the disc... he has confirmed this. | 03:30 |
| chamunks | patifa, i just dont want to be running beta software for the next month and a half till ff3 is finally released and ill have to wait for my addons to update. | 03:30 |
| Kaemon12433 | now it syays restart? | 03:30 |
| Kaemon12433 | ok | 03:30 |

| kouza2 | I have a toshiba Satellite with Atheros card, and the wireless network does not show up, it acts like i dont even have a wireless card | 03:30 |
| patifa | jescis: mine works. If your BIOS can't use a USB keyboard (for example to access the BIOS settings), it's doubtful you'll be able to use it to control GRUB | 03:30 |
| Aval0n | guys which one of these is more likely to be my cpu temp? http://pastebin.org/34371 the top or bottom? | 03:30 |
| djhash | !pm | kouza2 | 03:30 |
| ubottu | kouza2: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 03:30 |
| djhash | oops | 03:30 |
| zcat[1] | fde: well, if he's created an ISO and burned it correctly, it likely still wouldn't be bootable | 03:30 |
| djhash | i meant to send something else | 03:30 |
| starcannon | FFEMTcJ if there is a samba version change between the 2 distro's thats where I'd look first | 03:30 |
| Chrysalis | patifa: ok thanks | 03:30 |
| patifa | kouza2: Your lucky, my friend's toshiba satellite spontaneously reboots if he tries to use his wireless :\ | 03:30 |
| FFEMTcJ | starcannon: it looks like there was a problem very similar when edgy came out.. and alot of documentation on it.. but nothing is workin now.. | 03:30 |
| PseudoOne | O.o that's a sources.list file :) | 03:30 |
| djhash | kouza2: are you registered? i tried to PM you | 03:31 |
| kuahara | hate downloading from slow servers =/ | 03:31 |
| FFEMTcJ | ill take a look | 03:31 |
| kouza2 | I tried to read the guides but, none made much since to me | 03:31 |
| amenado | kouza2-> lshw -C network and paste that in pastebin, add the info of iwconfig; ifconfig; | 03:31 |
| fivehorizons | Is there anyone available who can help me with a VNC problem? | 03:31 |
| zcat[1] | unless he has an el-torito image somewhere knows how to create a bootable ISO with it | 03:31 |
| fde | zcat[1]: you can force it even if its not by only setting the cdrom as a boot device... so that's not an issue. | 03:31 |
| DaveyJ_ | that kinda worked | 03:31 |
| starcannon | FFEMTcJ hang on I'm gonna take a look-see at some docs on samba | 03:31 |
| kouza2 | no idea amenado what that means lol | 03:31 |
| Jinxed- | does anyone know of any good hardware websites? My laptop has just pissed me off one too many times... I need to get new computer | 03:31 |
| zcat[1] | fde: You can??!! | 03:31 |
| kuahara | zcat, I'm just using magic iso atm | 03:31 |
| FFEMTcJ | ty | 03:31 |
| fde | zcat[1]: yup... I've made that mistake before... heh | 03:31 |
| kouza2 | DJ i tried to talk back lol | 03:31 |
| jc | anyone having trouble accessing their cdrom after upgrading to hardy? | 03:31 |
| kouza2 | I thault you were ignoring me | 03:32 |
| amenado | kouza2-> now its time for you to learn the command line interface, open up a terminal and type lshw -C network | 03:32 |

| Aval0n | Hey, this is an output from lm-sensors.. is the top or bottom more likely to be my CPU temp? http://pastebin.org/34371 | 03:32 |
| chamunks | patifa, i had a toshiba p30 its soo friggin buggy its rediculous and the mainboard has everything built in so something goes ie. Power circuit your screwed. | 03:32 |
| jc | or rather, after I upgraded to hardy I can no longer get to my cdrom from /media/cdrom | 03:32 |
| jescis | patifa: is there a setting or is that "out of the box"? | 03:32 |
| amenado | Jinxed--> if you are going to throw your laptop, please throw it my way.. :P | 03:32 |
| patifa | jescis: ? | 03:32 |
| patifa | oh | 03:32 |
| === kouza2 is now known as imkouza2 | ||
| kuahara | I'm one of those that believes the image should either come bootable or there should be an obvious way to tell the image burning software to make this 'bootable image' bootable. | 03:33 |
| imkouza2 | ok | 03:33 |
| bpat1434 | what is the 8.0 release of Ubuntu called ? | 03:33 |
| kuahara | I don't give it much of my attention beyond that | 03:33 |
| Aval0n | bpat1434: hardy heron | 03:33 |
| Starnestommy | bpat1434: 8.04 is Hardy Heron | 03:33 |
| Jinxed- | amenado, I don't think you would want it... Pentium M 760 1 gig RAM geforce 6600 80 gig hardrive | 03:33 |
| patifa | jescis: It's typically an out-of-the-box, though I suppose you could, if you tried hard enough, disable USB functionality in the BIOS. | 03:33 |
| Hammer89 | bpat1434: 8.04 is called Hard Heron.... 8.10 is called Intrepid Ibex | 03:33 |
| elmer | The top and bottom panels are not showing up. Anybody know what's wrong? | 03:33 |
| Jinxed- | I think I might take a sledge hammer to it | 03:33 |
| djhash | Avalon: both.. one is measuring from inside the processor the other is measuring from outside | 03:33 |
| amenado | Jinxed--> i have a use for it and can use it..hehe | 03:33 |
| Aval0n | DJones: which is the one that you are to be concerned about? | 03:34 |
| Aval0n | err djhash that was for you | 03:34 |
| shyam_k | hi packages.ubuntu.com says me that debpartial was in gutsy but not in hardy.. what command can i use instead as this how to uses it i am planning to sell some dvds here:) as per rms' advice to "make most of it" :) so we can make it a deal(kidding.. no offense);-) | 03:34 |
| imkouza2 | amen i did that | 03:34 |
| imkouza2 | now what lol | 03:34 |
| === imkouza2 is now known as kouza2 | ||
| shyam_k | ops sorry for that junk | 03:34 |
| starcannon | FFEMTcJ check this out, I think it may help, the thread is kinda long, but its samba on ubuntu 8.04 and the thread is marked as solved, I'd try what this cat did http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678868 | 03:34 |

| amenado | !who | kouza2 | 03:34 |
| ubottu | kouza2: 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 :) | 03:34 |
| Aval0n | djhash: which would be the one that bios reports. | 03:34 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: most ppl build bootable iso's .. windows has a remarkable capacity to interpret them as archives, so people think they have to 'unzip' them, or in some other way mess up what really should be very simple. In linux you just right-click and select 'burn to disk' and you get a bootable disk from it. | 03:34 |
| jescis | patifa: I got into the bios fine, but it never moved a menu item at the menu list :/ | 03:35 |
| FFEMTcJ | starcannon: ill look at it | 03:35 |
| kouza2 | Amenado- I typed what you said to type now what do you need me to do | 03:35 |
| kuahara | zcat: one of the many +'s about linux =p | 03:35 |
| amenado | kouza2-> you have to paste it in pastebin.. | 03:35 |
| shyam_k | hi packages.ubuntu.com says me that debpartial was in gutsy but not in hardy.. what command can i use instead as this how to uses it http://howtoforge.com/dvd_images_of_ubuntu_repositories | 03:35 |

| Andares | I find this hilarious. | 03:36 |
| fivehorizons | Can someone please help me with a VNC problem? | 03:36 |
| kouza2 | *smashes his head into the desk* | 03:36 |
| plik | zcat[1]: wouldn't surpride me if MS deliberately made it harder for people to burn ISOs .... | 03:36 |
| djhash | Avalon: usually its the VCORE temp. but it depends on the bios... | 03:36 |
| Andares | NOOOOO 2 people get out. >:( | 03:36 |
| fde | zcat[1]: One of many cases that show Windows is designed for users, Linux is designed by users :) | 03:36 |

| hobbzilla | I have tried echo'ing text to redirect to /dev/pts/# but it comes up as garbled text (users have termcap set to vt320) | 03:36 |
| amenado | hobbzilla-> man talk | 03:36 |
| starcannon | anyone got a working xorg.conf for an Everex Cloudbook using the latest drivers from linux.via.com.tw ? I have compiz working with them but have a flickering screen | 03:36 |
| patifa | jescis: But you got into the BIOS by pressing a key? I can't see why grub wouldn't work, then, with a USB keyboard. It's using the built-in functionality of the motherboard to use your keyboard, until it boots an OS which can load real USB drivers. | 03:36 |
| zcat[1] | plik: in vista, they made the default CD format 'not quite iso9660' | 03:36 |
| Aval0n | djhash: so which was vcore top or bottom on that pastbin | 03:36 |
| djhash | Kuahara: how are you doing? | 03:36 |
| chris062689 | Hello world! :) | 03:36 |
| hobbzilla | amenado: I am familiar with talk. I don't want to start a conversation. | 03:36 |
| djhash | kuahara: top.. and sorry its not VCORE.. just Core.. | 03:36 |
| Bogaurd_ | how can i 'cat' a gzipped log file? | 03:36 |
| plik | zcat[1]: exactly... they have nothing to gain by people trying free OSs | 03:37 |

| Bogaurd_ | starcannon, zcat[1], thanks! | 03:37 |
| plik | zcat[1]: SO WHY MAKE IT EASY FOR THE ONES THAT DON'T KNOW TOOO MUCH | 03:37 |
| Starnestommy | john-mike: I don't use bittorrent | 03:37 |
| kuahara | afk 1 sec | 03:37 |
| Mattevt | Can anyone tell me why www.pandora.com doesn't work in FF? It's website for personalized radio stations. | 03:37 |
| starcannon | a good iso burner for winders was always nero, usually a trial version available out there some where | 03:37 |
| patifa | "<zcat[1]> Bogaurd_: zcat :)" I'm keeping that for posterity. | 03:37 |
| djhash | Avalon: top.. and sorry its not VCORE.. just Core.. | 03:37 |
| john-mike | Starnestommy: Ah, ok! Thanks though! | 03:37 |
| plik | oops, sorry about the caps | 03:37 |
| hobbzilla | amenado: thanks... wall looks promising. | 03:37 |
| amenado | hobbzilla-> thats a feature/option on shutdown command | 03:37 |
| starcannon | Bogaurd what'd I do, I forgot | 03:37 |
| Aval0n | hmm so the top one is the one that is more common | 03:37 |
| cj_sze2 | hello to all | 03:37 |
| Aval0n | it actually has a core 0 and a core 1 | 03:37 |
| fde | starcannon: you have no idea how often I get that feeling :P | 03:38 |
| Bogaurd_ | starcannon, sorry, I meant to thanks Starnestommy ;) | 03:38 |
| jescis | patifa: maybe because it's a microsoft keyboard ;) | 03:38 |
| starcannon | Bogaurd_ doh I shoulda just rolled with it lol | 03:38 |
| plik | starcannon: Nero has become serious bloatware lately | 03:38 |
| RyanPrior | starcannon: Nero isn't needed on Windows. Infra Recorder does an excellent job. | 03:38 |
| patifa | jescis: LOL It's not a wireless keyboard with a USB dongle is it? | 03:38 |
| starcannon | plik i dont doubt it, oldversion.com or some such should get you a nice old copy of nero5 though | 03:39 |
| jescis | patifa: no | 03:39 |

| patifa | jescis: Confuzzled me, then. There's no reason if your keyboard can interact with the BIOS that it can't interact with GRUB. | 03:39 |
| zcat[1] | RyanPrior: depends.. do you want a program to just burn cd's .. or something that justifies your recent purchase of another 2G of ram... | 03:39 |

| patifa | Mattevt: You need flash. | 03:40 |
| zcat[1] | Mattevt: got flash? | 03:40 |
| starcannon | Mattevt I switched to shoutcast, zcat[1] lol | 03:40 |
| john-mike | One more question: how can I make a partition mount on bootup everytime? | 03:40 |
| Mattevt | I do have flash | 03:40 |
| starcannon | just had a mental image of a Holywood star with flash mustache | 03:40 |
| fde | john-mike: add it to /etc/fstab | 03:41 |
| zcat[1] | is pandora flash or java? I think it's flash... | 03:41 |
| jdsbluedevl | hi, I have two instances of compiz.real running, with one of them (the parasite) taking up most of my CPU. I can't kill it. Can anyone help me? | 03:41 |
| patifa | Pandora is flash with mp3 decoding. | 03:41 |
| john-mike | Thanks fde! | 03:41 |
| starcannon | jdsbluedevl it comes back after a reboot? | 03:41 |
| fde | jdsbluedevl: you can log out and back in to kill it... it's a child of X | 03:41 |
| zcat[1] | jdsbluedevl: kill -9 usually works | 03:41 |
| fde | john-mike: if you don't understand syntax of that file, ask :) | 03:42 |
| jdsbluedevl | reloading X doesn't stop it, but I want to see what I can do before rebooting | 03:42 |
| john-mike | Ok! | 03:42 |
| fde | zcat[1]: wouldn't if it's a zombie... he wasn't specific, so making sure, you're right though of course :) | 03:42 |
| zcat[1] | fde: I wish that was true.. something in my wife's gnome session just won't die when she logs out and prevents her from logging in again. I still haven't gotton to the bottom of it. Usually she just reboots and complains to me about it later | 03:42 |
| jdsbluedevl | it worked. thx zcat | 03:43 |
| starcannon | jdsbluedevl sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:43 |
| jdsbluedevl | starcannon: zcat solved my problem. thx anyways | 03:43 |
| starcannon | doh i missed it | 03:43 |
| fde | zcat[1]: ahh, then my apologies | 03:43 |
| Dominion | my evo mail has been crashing since the last update | 03:43 |
| fde | Dominion: did you let it file a bug report? | 03:44 |
| zcat[1] | fde: 99% of the time logging out kills all children. Sometimes the little buggers just won't quit | 03:44 |
| Dominion | yeah | 03:44 |
| Fezzler | I don't think Hardy works with nvidia and the GeForce FX 5500. If I select Extra, it kicks compiz off. | 03:44 |
| fde | Dominion: that's all you can really do I'm afraid. | 03:44 |
| starcannon | lol zcat[1] | 03:44 |

| slestak | any way way i can affect console resolution of running machine? i dont have xorg on here yet, my install failed due to cd read errors. | 03:45 |
| kuahara | my wife takes 20 minutes to give me 5 minutes of information filled with long breaks and side-conversation | 03:45 |
| zcat[1] | we've been dipping in and out of '1337' all afternoon.. :) | 03:45 |
| ep0ch | kuahara, install Lingua::EN::Summarize into her | 03:46 |
| slestak | cd is not bad, ive used it on 2 other machines | 03:46 |
| Gman99999 | My microphone just stopped working, Im using hardy heron it worked great before, but for some odd reason it no longer works and I have changed nothing, Ive fiddled with all of the sound nobs is there anything else I can so | 03:46 |
| fde | romulo: sudo -c 'echo fglrx >> /etc/modules' | 03:46 |
| Gman99999 | do** | 03:46 |
| romulo | fde, i cant even modprobe it | 03:46 |
| kuahara | well, I put parted magic on cd, threw it in the comp and I am just now getting to stare at it and figure out what I need to do | 03:46 |
| kuahara | its "scanning all devices" | 03:46 |
| ryan__ | anyone here? | 03:46 |
| kuahara | holy shit | 03:47 |
| romulo | fde, the module isnt where it was supposed to be | 03:47 |
| Fezzler | Is Hardy having know bug issues with nvidia and compiz? Worked great under Feisty and Gutsy. | 03:47 |
| kuahara | it actually sees my entire drive | 03:47 |
| fde | romulo: does dmesg say anything enlightening? | 03:47 |
| starcannon | kuahara parted is a wonderful thing | 03:47 |
| romulo | fde, nothing -_- | 03:47 |
| kellnola | kuahara, i have no issues | 03:47 |
| fivehorizons | I get the error message "Connection Failed - Error reading protocol" when trying to connect to my VNC server using Ultra VNC tunneled through Putty. If I try VNC using the server IP directly, it works. What's the deal? | 03:47 |

| fde | romulo: what does modprobe tell you? | 03:47 |
| jc | anyone know how to get optical drives working under hardy? | 03:47 |
| kellnola | Fezzler, (i meant) i have no issues | 03:47 |
| kuahara | ok...someone who has used parted magic before: How do I "fix" the partitions so they are accessible by other OS's? | 03:47 |
| starcannon | jc like a usb drive or an internal? | 03:48 |
| Fezzler | kellnola: Did you do fresh install or upgrade to Hardy? | 03:48 |
| romulo | fde, /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko not found | 03:48 |
| romulo | and its really not there | 03:48 |
| kuahara | heh...parted magic thinks it sees 350GB, this is a 250GB drive | 03:48 |
| kellnola | Fezzler, upgrade, but I'd never bothered with compiz before at all | 03:48 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: score! | 03:48 |
| fde | romulo: what is the full version of ubuntu-restricted-modules? (I bet it's -16) | 03:48 |
| jc | starcannon: internal - after upgrading from gutsy the drives are not visible /media/cdrom | 03:48 |
| kouza2 | Amenado- im going to try to keep up but, will likely fail.... badly what do you need me to do after the lslw -c network? | 03:49 |
| starcannon | jc even with media inserted? | 03:49 |
| romulo | fde, what you mean? | 03:49 |
| chris062689 | Is it really true Hardy is really worse than Feisty? Or is it just a bunch of trolls? =D | 03:49 |
| kuahara | meaning there is clearly something wrong with it | 03:49 |
| chuy_max | is there an app to program the extra buttons of a mouse? | 03:49 |
| romulo | chris062689, from my experiences with hardy and from what friends told me, it sucks =P | 03:49 |
| romulo | gutsy was alot better | 03:49 |
| kuahara | someone said I can use this to restore the partition table back to the way it was. How? | 03:49 |
| fde | romulo: 'dpkg -l ubuntu-restricted-modules* | grep ^ii' <-- should return one line... what does it say? | 03:49 |
| jc | starcannon: yep the media can be opened with the gui, but from a terminal if I type ls /media/cdrom nothing is there | 03:49 |

| sexcopter | hi, i'm in need of a little help. i'm in a live session (hardy), trying to install, and i keep getting an error 5 (input/output error). I know the cause, it's a flaky cd-rom drive which is past its sell-by date. i'm wondering what i can do about it. i have a usb dvd burner which is much more reliable, is there a way to boot from that instead? | 03:52 |

| sexcopter | or, can i move the files over myself to the harddrive somehow? | 03:52 |
| kuahara | On 1 of the partitions it sees that 3GB are used and 124.9GB is free. On this partition I had about 80GB of files stored | 03:53 |
| jc | starcannon: not in mnt yet, I'll do that now | 03:53 |

| Karcamo[x] | look this link http://kataix.umag.cl/laboratorio/node/200 | 03:53 |
| jc | starcannon: nothin in mnt, or in the root | 03:53 |
| starcannon | sexcoptor if your computer supports booting from usb device (you may have to set the boot order in bios) you should be fine, I haven't seen a computer that wouldn't boot from usb in a very long time, so I'd try setting up the boot order in bios, some computers will give you a boot menu if you press escape at post as wel | 03:53 |
| jc | starcannon: did you do a clean install or an upgrade? | 03:54 |
| jcsmith | hello all, i just installed 8.04 on a new dell xps m1530 and i found the i8042.nomux=1 trick to make the touchpad work, however on hardy 64 bit the horizontal and vertical scroll bars do not work, any ideas? | 03:54 |
| kuahara | zcat, fde, djhash...any of you used parted magic before? | 03:54 |
| starcannon | jc clean install, i keep /home on a seperate partition so that I can afford that luxury | 03:54 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: how you fix it (and if it can be fixed) depends a lot on how you broke it in the first place. Those files might be gone.. :( | 03:54 |
| FFEMTcJ | starcannon: nothin with that thread.. i threw a 7.10 live cd in another computer, and got farther on that then I am on my 8.04 installed.. still cant see the computers tho | 03:54 |
| fde | kuahara: I've used gparted ... but your question isn't specific enough. | 03:54 |
| kuahara | zcat, I put in a windows XP boot disk, selected the 125GB partition, deleted it, then it showed back up as an 8MB partition. | 03:54 |
| sexcopter | starcannon: if i hit f12 i get a boot menu, and there's the option of "usb flash device", but that just seems to sit and do nothing | 03:55 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: I've recovered lost partitions using gpart and fdisk before... but not over IRC.. | 03:55 |
| jc | starcannon: I've seen lots of posts in the forum about issues with the optical drives, but so far nothing really helpful | 03:55 |

| kuahara | there was a 130GB partition with my files stored on it. I didn't touch this one with windows. I put ubuntu liveCD in and force mounted it, then rebooted the computer. Thats it | 03:55 |
| romulo | fde, it was there before | 03:55 |
| kuahara | after the force mount, it said that 129GB of space was free | 03:55 |
| zcat[1] | sexcopter: there's a iso-to-usb script somewhere.. try google? | 03:55 |
| dimas_loserkids | aluw | 03:55 |

| sexcopter | zca | 03:56 |
| sexcopter | zcat[1]: i'll have a look, thanks | 03:56 |
| jc | starcannon: would you mind showing me 1) your fstab and 2 an ls -la in /media ? want to see how different it is from mine | 03:56 |

| Mrafrohead | encryption works fine, just not the other way. | 03:56 |

| Mrafrohead | Fezzler, there is a problem with compix and some video cards. openGL can fail. | 03:57 |
| Mrafrohead | what kinda card? | 03:57 |

| kuahara | Simpler Question: Is there a way to restore a partition back to the way it was -yesterday-??? | 04:00 |
| FFEMTcJ | zcat[1]: when i first installed 7.10 it did work out of the box.. but i dont have that system anymore, and this one with 8.04 it isnt working.. the only things that have changed are this system and the version of ubuntu | 04:00 |
| zcat[1] | speaking of 'out of the box' my wife started printing stuff on my nice printer and I hadn't even set that up for her. Bloody avahi! | 04:00 |
| fde | romulo: no problem, but ask the whole channel, as there might be a bug somewhere I'm not aware of ;) | 04:00 |
| romulo | fde, of course, thanks anyway =] | 04:00 |

| kuahara | god, who do I have to order a pizza for to get some help with this | 04:01 |
| jc | fivehorizons: whats the issue? | 04:01 |
| Fezzler | Well, Hardy has issues. | 04:01 |
| fde | fivehorizons: care to tell us any errors etc? | 04:01 |
| zcat[1] | was rather surprised. All I did was plug the printer in, the next thing I know it's accessable from all our computers. I didn't even have to set it up on this one! | 04:01 |
| * fde likes pizza | 04:01 | |
| fivehorizons | I get the error message "Connection Failed - Error reading protocol" when trying to connect to my VNC server using Ultra VNC tunneled through Putty. If I try VNC using the server IP directly, it works. | 04:01 |
| kuahara | someone recommended parted magic under the pretense that it can 'restore' partitions back to the way they were. So far as I can tell, this is not true | 04:02 |
| zcat[1] | I think I might have turned avahi on at some point to share music ... but it sure surprised me | 04:02 |
| fivehorizons | I used the guide here: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/6 to set it up | 04:02 |

| fde | gleyve: does 'lsmod | grep gspca' return anything? (fingers crossed it does, makes this much easier) | 04:05 |
| kuahara | thechris, I deleted a partition and it somehow changed in size. From 127GB to 8MB. | 04:05 |
| kuahara | thechris, I also loaded ubuntu livecd and force mounted the 2nd 127GB partition | 04:05 |
| komputes | kuahara: did you format over it, lose a file? if so i can only recommend midnight commander | 04:05 |
| fxjr | are you getting problems with Mono where the process doesn't die after have finished? | 04:05 |
| kuahara | and it is showing up with 124GB of free space even tho I had 80GB of data I needed | 04:05 |

| thechris | kuahara: if you've not done any writes you can get the data back | 04:05 |
| kuahara | thechris, so I'm told. But no one can say how. Someone recommended parted magic and said it could do the job. But it appears it can not | 04:06 |
| komputes | kuahara: perhaps not going to be able to recover everthing, but you can salvage what is stillon the drive | 04:06 |
| thechris | kuahara: you might want to make an exact image of the better part of the drive though. | 04:06 |
| fde | gleyve: Applications > Accessories > Terminal is where you'll type it, btw :) | 04:06 |
| gleyve | fde: no..Nothing | 04:06 |

| UnityDivide | bpat1182, try: apt-get install subversion | 04:06 |

| Mrafrohead | that's not too hard, but you need to understand hard drive geometry or you'll fuck it all up. | 04:06 |
| thechris | kuahara: you just have to put the partition table back to the correct size, or possibly something larger | 04:06 |
| starcannon__ | jc heres the ls -la /media http://pastebin.com/d6ad56295 | 04:06 |

| o0Chris0o | what folder does ubuntu store the apps? trying to change default app | 04:14 |
| unperson | fde, invisibleInk: Ok, thanks. This is bizarre. I only get the commercials. When it goes to play the actual show clips it just says "loading" forever, then eventually gives up. | 04:14 |
| Lincooled | i would like to execute xpath request, which application can do it on ubuntu ? | 04:14 |
| Karcamo[x] | i have a cd with repositories for gutsy, i can add this cd in hardy ? | 04:14 |
| fde | unperson: I don't even see commercials... heh | 04:14 |
| jc | fivehorizons: ok, hold on a sec let me see how I do it from my work compuer, to send you that syntax ... | 04:14 |
| unperson | fde, invisibleInk: And I just replicated it too. | 04:14 |
| fde | unperson: I have noscripts and adblock around though (I temp. allowed that site only) | 04:15 |

| fde | Karcamo[x]: I wouldn't recommend it, but others have done it without issue... | 04:16 |
| `KoRn | ntomata: thanks | 04:16 |
| buzzsaw_ | ok this might sound kind of dumb but is there a way to undelete a file? :-) | 04:16 |
| buzzsaw_ | i made a mistake | 04:16 |
| unperson | fde, Hmm.... Well, maybe it's something to do with my ISP. I'll have to try it from my office, I guess. | 04:17 |
| jc | fivehorizons: after making the tunnel I just use localhost as the IP to connect to is that what you are using/ | 04:17 |
| texel | Hey guys, how on earth do I get the Ubuntu installer for 8.10 to do an encrypted LVM setup? | 04:17 |
| starcannon | jc just in case you didn't have the command already, you can find your uuids by running sudo vol_id -u /dev/hdc3 note that hdc3 would be replaced by your devices /dev location | 04:17 |
| sexcopter | wait, maybe i could just use gparted?? | 04:17 |

| jc | fivehorizons: try using http://remotectrlctr.sourceforge.net/ on the windows box, I found this really helped | 04:18 |
| texel | thechris: neh? How does that get me to use Ubuntu's encrypted LVM setup? | 04:18 |
| starcannon | o0Chris0o /usr/bin probably what your hunting for | 04:18 |
| ntomata | rmdir | 04:18 |
| kuahara | thechris, there is 80GB of data I am trying to recover. The hdd has plenty of space. cd's do not | 04:18 |
| o0Chris0o | starcannon: ty | 04:18 |
| zcat[1] | vick1: probably in the bios settings somewhere | 04:18 |
| elmer | where do you change the apt-get sources? Like enable "universe" and stuff? | 04:18 |
| ntomata | or : rm -Rf | 04:18 |
| Karcamo[x] | fde: i have to install soo much package in hardy, but i have this package in cd for gutsy | 04:18 |
| elmer | nvm | 04:18 |
| elmer | found it | 04:18 |
| kuahara | vick1, you need to disable thermtrip in your processor, which is done in the bios | 04:19 |
| vick1 | okay ill search for that | 04:19 |
| vick1 | and try itout, thanks zcat and kuahara | 04:19 |
| kuahara | note you can fry the cpu | 04:19 |
| texel | The install instructions look like they talk about the debian installer instead of casper. | 04:19 |
| kuahara | if you do that =o | 04:19 |
| vick1 | lol | 04:19 |
| texel | I can't actually get the thing to start the console installer. | 04:19 |
| vick1 | my fan broke a year ago | 04:19 |
| fivehorizons | jc: cool, thanks for the link....ill check it out | 04:19 |
| kuahara | I would find out why its heating up | 04:19 |
| vick1 | and on xp, it never automatically shut off | 04:19 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: booted up yet? | 04:19 |
| thechris | texel: i'm just saying, if you know the commands to do it, you probably can somehow. | 04:19 |
| kuahara | zcat yes, just as you asked | 04:19 |
| jc | fivehorizons: how did you set up your tunnel are you sure you have the tunnel set up correctly? | 04:20 |
| kuahara | vick1, that does not mean you don't have a heating issue | 04:20 |
| fde | texel: Ubuntu doesn't use casper. Ubiquity has hooks to debian-installer, and the alternative cd uses debian-installer in a modified form. | 04:20 |
| zcat[1] | ok, open a terminal and type 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' | 04:20 |
| starcannon | jc cool tool thanks as well | 04:20 |
| vick1 | yeah i do and i think my hd is permanently damaged | 04:20 |
| texel | fde: so do I need to use the alternative CD to install with to do encrypted LVM? O.o | 04:20 |
| k20a | my display defaults to highest settings everytime i restart..even if i take those settings out of xorg, what should i do? | 04:20 |
| kuahara | zcat how do I get to a terminal window...forgot the command | 04:20 |
| kuahara | alt + f2 and gnome -terminal? | 04:21 |
| vick1 | buttt this laptop is 4 years old? i think i'm just going to get a new one soon | 04:21 |
| thechris | kuahara: well you might use dd or another imaging software to make a backup. from there you can try to get the data back. I'm not sure on how NTFS works. either way you don't want to accidently corrupt things. | 04:21 |
| fde | texel: I have no idea... I didn't see it in Ubiquity though, else I'd have done it ;) | 04:21 |
| fivehorizons | jc: I set up the tunnel using Putty. I followed the directions on this website: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/6 | 04:21 |

| kitsuneofdoom | My Rhythymbox stopped working with the upgrade to 8.04, complaining it didn't have the proper codec for ogg, however, it pointed to the ugly plugins, and after I installed them, it still didn't work | 04:21 |
| kuahara | that applications menu didn't work the first time I did this | 04:21 |
| kuahara | its working atm tho | 04:21 |
| texel | fde: Do we even have any devs in the channel who /would/ know? | 04:21 |
| Prez00 | hello | 04:21 |
| kuahara | zcat do I need to be in root to do this | 04:21 |
| gleyve | fde: is easycam2 relible? | 04:21 |
| Bryan | hey, I can only go to secure sites on firefox-3.0 if I run it in root. Any fixes? (Other than running in root ;/) | 04:22 |
| zcat[1] | 'sudo' will work without a password in the live cd | 04:22 |
| fde | gleyve: my cam is supported with gspca so I didn't need to use it. | 04:22 |
| Prez00 | how do i check if my swap partition is working? i have 0 used and i don't see it in mount | 04:22 |

| k20a | starcannon nvidia | 04:22 |
| kuahara | it said -1 is an invali option | 04:22 |
| evand | texel: fde: encrypted LVM will not work in ubiquity. It's hopefully coming in 8.10. | 04:22 |

| kuahara | done | 04:23 |
| fde | evand: He seems to think it'll work via the alternative disc... can you confirm or deny that for hardy? | 04:23 |
| zcat[1] | get something like /dev/sda 1 6000 bignumber? | 04:23 |
| evand | fde: it will work on the alternate CD. | 04:23 |
| fde | gleyve: go ahead and hit y | 04:23 |
| starcannon | k20a I have an Nvidia guide in pastebin, but it only works if you don't skip steps you can see it here http://pastebin.com/f4d1facb2 | 04:23 |
| texel | evand: Mm. Think we need to make that obvious from the install docs. | 04:23 |
| bbyever | Prez00: it probably is working. it is only used if you run out of ram | 04:23 |

| atonek | join #ubuntu-se | 04:24 |
| GroundZer0 | where would i find ~/.fluxbox/styles. | 04:24 |
| Prez00 | bbyever: should it show up when I run mount? | 04:24 |
| fde | texel: Looks like you need the Alternate disc for encrypted LVM then :) | 04:24 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: cool.. called /dev/sda1 and starts at 1 ? | 04:24 |
| bbyever | Prez00: i dont think so | 04:24 |
| bbyever | !swap | Prez00: | 04:24 |
| fde | evand: thanks a lot :) | 04:24 |
| ubottu | Prez00:: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 04:24 |
| Starnestommy | GroundZer0: it's /home/<username>/.fluxbox/styles | 04:24 |
| kuahara | . /dev/sda1 start 2 | 04:24 |
| jc | fivehorizons: on my compuer at work I have putty set up this way: L5900 phoenix.cybergalvez.com:5900 cybergalvez is the computer I want to connect to. Is that similar to what you have? | 04:24 |
| texel | fde: yeah. | 04:24 |
| texel | Too bad that download will take me hours. | 04:24 |
| kuahara | . /dev/sda5 is also start 2 | 04:25 |
| GroundZer0 | Starnestommy, hey hehe bro theres only Desktop there. | 04:25 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: ok.. there's nothing other than /dev/sda1? and what's the end number? | 04:25 |
| Starnestommy | GroundZer0: are you using ls or the file manager? | 04:25 |
| texel | Really seems suboptimal. =o/ | 04:25 |
| fde | texel: let it go via (g)wget while you're asleep? also, it'll be on most mirrors... | 04:25 |
| kuahara | there is also /dev/sda5 | 04:25 |
| starcannon | afk time to pollute myself, i haven't coughed in 3 hours, nico levels must be low | 04:25 |
| Prez00 | bbyever: thanks, I know what swap does, I just don't remember if it should show up in mount, because I had a filesystem problem a while back, after suspend./resume issue, and just want to make sure swap partition is working | 04:25 |

| kuahara | the end number on both of these is the same 16708 | 04:25 |

| GroundZer0 | Starnestommy, how do i view it | 04:26 |
| texel | fde: nice. I may give that a try. | 04:26 |
| Fidoda | Hi, I have a problem with my ATI AGP restricted drivers. It is not the installation the problem but rather after. When I reboot after the installation I got a black screen after the Ubuntu logo displayed | 04:26 |
| texel | fde: though my downstream connection is... sad. | 04:26 |
| Starnestommy | GroundZer0: you would need to enable viewing hidden files, but I forgot how to do it in Thunar | 04:26 |

| zcat[1] | sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 04:38 |
| kuahara | done | 04:38 |
| lopin | usser: Any solution? I tried the one on the forums, changing the one line, but it didn't work... | 04:39 |
| fde | gleyve: Yeah, I don't think that is supported I'm afraid, Google isn't being very enlightening at least, and I don't recognize the cam. | 04:39 |
| usser | lopin, whats in the forums? did u try any-to-any-update | 04:39 |
| usser | lopin, my experience with vmware was sad | 04:40 |
| Prez00 | fde: ok, looks good | 04:40 |
| lopin | any-to-any-update doesn't work either... | 04:40 |
| lopin | What cam? | 04:40 |
| usser | lopin, on hardy it would lock up the whole system when virtual machine is run | 04:40 |
| fde | Prez00: idk why those were added... very ugly, heh | 04:40 |
| lopin | That's not good... | 04:40 |
| zcat[1] | n for a new partiton (I think..) primary, 2, start at 16708, end at the end of the disk, change the type to ntfs, cant remember what number/letter that is | 04:40 |
| gleyve | fde: maybe it only works on windows then? | 04:40 |
| fde | Prez00: your fdisk -l /dev/sda looks right again? | 04:40 |
| Prez00 | lopin: i can't get vmware workstation 5.6 to work in hardy... | 04:40 |
| lopin | Everyone's having problems... | 04:41 |
| lopin | How's virtualbox? | 04:41 |
| Prez00 | fde: looks good, thanks.. | 04:41 |
| kuahara | ok sec | 04:41 |
| usser | lopin, dont know what to say to you, virtualbox is good | 04:41 |
| fde | lopin: It's a support channel... that's kind of the point, heh | 04:41 |
| kuahara | I selected primary | 04:41 |
| kuahara | then entered partition number 2 | 04:41 |
| kuahara | when it asked for first cylinder, I entered 16708 | 04:41 |
| usser | lopin, do u have 64bit hardy? | 04:41 |
| lopin | Well, I came in here to get help with VMware, but apparently the whole thing is botched... | 04:42 |
| kuahara | it returned: Sector 268397955 is already allocated | 04:42 |
| zcat[1] | sorry, 16709 :) | 04:42 |
| lopin | usser: Not with my atheros wireless card.. I just figured out how to get the thing to work properly in 32 bit... | 04:42 |
| kuahara | now it says First Cylinder (16709 - 30401, default 16709) | 04:42 |
| vick1 | does anyone know where in the bios setting i can find the option to turn off the cpu temperature reading | 04:42 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: that looks better | 04:42 |
| vick1 | i looked under every tab? | 04:42 |
| kuahara | vick1 | 04:42 |
| kuahara | you are going to destroy your cpu | 04:42 |
| vick1 | i know..but | 04:43 |
| vick1 | it doesnt stay on for more than like 10 minutes sometimes | 04:43 |
| Wannabe | is the apt-get down for you guys to? | 04:43 |
| vick1 | i cant get any work done | 04:43 |
| vick1 | this is only temporary i'm getting a new ocmputer next week | 04:43 |
| lopin | vick1: That might be a hint that it needs a good clean out... | 04:43 |
| UberCanuck | Wannabe, you mean your mirror is down | 04:43 |
| kuahara | it will not turn on for even 1 sec if you just disable thermtrip and ignore it | 04:43 |
| Starnestommy | Wannabe: try changing the servers that you use for the repositories | 04:43 |
| zcat[1] | cpu's are cheap.. fireworks are fun.. go for it vick1! | 04:43 |
| kuahara | give me a min tho, working with zcat on something | 04:43 |
| vick1 | alright thank you | 04:43 |

| ubottu | UberCanuck: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. | 04:43 |
| UberCanuck | Wannabe, I always use dupes in my sources file | 04:43 |
| Wannabe | Starnestommy, how do i pull that 1 off? | 04:43 |
| starcannon | lol zcat[1] hahaha | 04:43 |
| kuahara | what do I enter for last cylinder | 04:43 |
| UberCanuck | ubottu, i edit it manually thanks | 04:44 |
| kuahara | 30401? | 04:44 |
| lopin | vick1: I had to do that to my old one. Get a screwdriver, vaccum, and a can of duster... | 04:44 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: whatever it suggests I think | 04:44 |
| fde | Wannabe: uhh, see what ubottu said to UberCanuck | 04:44 |
| usser | vick1, fix the fans, do something but dont turn off temp reading | 04:44 |
| Starnestommy | Wannabe: look in System > Administration > Software Sources | 04:44 |
| Starnestommy | UberCanuck: ubottu is a bot | 04:44 |

| vick1 | hmm | 04:44 |
| UberCanuck | fde, np, thanks | 04:44 |
| kuahara | vick1, you need to resolve that heating issue | 04:44 |
| kuahara | if your comp shut off its not because windows or linux told it to | 04:45 |
| gcarrillo | man, the 'bu is awesome! | 04:45 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: t to change type, 2, and I think 7 was ntfs? press 'l' for a list of them | 04:45 |
| lopin | vick1: If it's shutting off, then the cpu can't handle the heat. Nothing in the OS turns off the comp when it gets too hot. It just makes the fan go faster... | 04:45 |
| gcarrillo | do the 'bu | 04:45 |
| vick1 | yeah like it used to just shut off in a few hours | 04:45 |
| vick1 | but linux shuts it off | 04:45 |
| kuahara | no it doesn't | 04:45 |
| vick1 | like..the screen says | 04:45 |
| fde | UberCanuck: In here, you have to advise the easiest possible solution else you'll have headaches... I've told people commands and had them ask where to type it, for instance :P | 04:45 |

| Psyco_Chipmunkk | Hey guys, i have a really really anoying problem. Since I installed hardy heron, my computer has been really really slow. It always feels like 5 different programs are trying to open at once so its really chopy and typing lags and i always have to force quit everything. The funny thing is that when i had ubuntu on this same computer awile ago, it was fine, this is just a brand new instalation. So how do i speed it back up? | 04:45 |
| kuahara | if it just "shuts off" thermtrip shut it down | 04:45 |
| UberCanuck | fde, true, good advice, thanks | 04:46 |
| fde | UberCanuck: This isn't the Linux of yesteryear! | 04:46 |
| kuahara | zcat sorry, reading that again | 04:46 |
| styles | Hey, so whats the proper order to do this? Ive now just reinstalled Ubuntu. I need to install my graphics drivers now right? Do I just chose the driver thats "restricted" that Ubuntu picks? | 04:46 |
| zcat[1] | Psyco_Chipmunkk: poss. more ram.. hardy's a bit heavier than earlier ubuntu's I think | 04:46 |
| UberCanuck | fde, :-) of course it is - strip the gui and what do you have?! | 04:46 |
| kuahara | 7 was correct | 04:46 |
| kuahara | changed it to ntfs | 04:46 |
| UberCanuck | fde, my servers don't have X installed | 04:46 |
| Wannabe | ty UberCanuck | 04:46 |
| fde | UberCanuck: A lot of confused users ;) | 04:46 |
| usser | styles, yes just pick the restricted driver and reboot | 04:46 |
| lopin | vick1: That's not good... | 04:46 |
| kuahara | it is waiting for next command | 04:46 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: so 'p' and see if it looks sensible ? | 04:46 |
| usser | styles, drivers if u have more than 1 | 04:47 |
| kuahara | vick1, no CPU is designed to safely run at 90C | 04:47 |
| styles | usser: I will and it will "freak out" my computer though. | 04:47 |
| kuahara | mine is lapped and cooled with AS5 and a CNPS9700 and idles at 27C | 04:47 |
| vick1 | hmm okay then | 04:47 |
| gcarrillo | whats the boiling point of a processor ;) | 04:47 |
| UberCanuck | fde, I think telling a user (a single) command to paste into a term is easier than the steps of a gui, imho | 04:47 |
| vick1 | if i clean it out, and realize it's just my fan is broken | 04:47 |
| vick1 | is it worth fixing a 3 year old hp laptop | 04:47 |
| kuahara | that means your CPU is running at 194F | 04:47 |
| kuahara | you can cook food on that | 04:47 |
| UberCanuck | vick1, depends on your budget - for me, no | 04:47 |
| demonspork | Hardy Heron, ff 3.0b5, firefox crashes every time I launchs it, if I run it from a terminal it just says "Segmentation Fault" | 04:47 |
| vick1 | alright thanks guys | 04:48 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, was this an upgrade or new install? | 04:48 |
| vick1 | ill just try cleaning it first | 04:48 |
| lopin | vick1: Water boils at 100 celcius, so just think about that... It's probably some dust and junk in the fan and heat sink. It's really easy to clean it out with a can of duster, a vacuum and a screwdriver. | 04:48 |
| fde | UberCanuck: It's more intimidating though, the easier you make the output, the more complicated the command and vise versa. | 04:48 |
| kuahara | my SLi rig was ranked in the top 1% of 3000 machines @ nvidia's club SLi | 04:48 |
| UberCanuck | fde, true, sometimes | 04:48 |
| vick1 | okay thank you! | 04:48 |
| vick1 | bye | 04:48 |
| starcannon | k20a did adding nvidia to /etc/modules fix you up? | 04:48 |
| kuahara | go to thermalright.com and look at a new HSF combo | 04:48 |
| kuahara | o well | 04:48 |

| gina | hi | 04:49 |
| gina | anyone using ubuntu on a macbook pro? | 04:49 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: I guess as long as the original two are still there; press 'w' to write it and exit | 04:49 |
| kuahara | running at such high temps reduces the overall longevity of the cpu. If she is at 90C and disables thermtrip, it will last a few months at best | 04:49 |
| jchico | hello, has anybody had problems with firefox lately, it continously hangs on me and when I check my system monitor the status says "undisruptable" and takes a huge chuck of my CPU | 04:49 |
| kuahara | at best.. | 04:49 |
| kuahara | pressed w | 04:49 |
| kuahara | its doing stuff | 04:49 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk | zcat[1]: i have a gig of ram and my last ubuntu was gusty | 04:49 |
| demonspork | UberCanuck, this is a new install I have been using since a few days after the release | 04:49 |
| kuahara | ok, its back to command prompt | 04:49 |
| Pord | is there a way i can get gnome 2.22 onto my 7.10 install of ubuntu? I dont want to upgrade to hardy as i have lots of issues with it | 04:49 |
| fde | !anyone | gina | 04:50 |
| ubottu | gina: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 04:50 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: then sudo mount -o ro /dev/sda2 lost | 04:50 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, install any plugins? | 04:50 |
| kuahara | fed it that command as well...its doing more stuf | 04:50 |
| kuahara | stuff | 04:50 |
| demonspork | UberCanuck, I know that rebooting will fix the problem, but I don't understand why it is. the same thing has happened before with other applications, almost system wide and a reboot fixes it | 04:50 |
| kuahara | done | 04:50 |
| demonspork | and no plugins | 04:50 |
| zcat[1] | ls lost | 04:50 |
| kuahara | holy shit | 04:50 |
| kuahara | my stuff! | 04:50 |
| zcat[1] | can't guarantee it'll be bootable.. might be a good time to do a backup :) | 04:51 |
| kuahara | how do I see if the data is corrupt? | 04:51 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, ?? rebooting fixes it.... you mean firefox? then a temp file, like a pid maybe? | 04:51 |
| kuahara | that partition is not meant to be a bootable one | 04:51 |
| fde | !ohmy | kuahara glad everything is fixed but | 04:51 |
| ubottu | kuahara glad everything is fixed but: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:51 |
| kuahara | oh, sorry | 04:51 |
| gina | well im having problems with my wifi on ubuntu. | 04:51 |
| drivetrax | ugh.. I just found out I have TCL under windows, but not under Linux | 04:51 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, back in the day, rebooting meant 'you' lost and the computer won... and I don't like loosing | 04:51 |
| UberCanuck | drivetrax, install it | 04:52 |
| drivetrax | Why doesn't Ubuntu have TCL in it? | 04:52 |
| jchico | is it safe to delete your .mozilla directory? all it has is temp files correct? | 04:52 |
| zcat[1] | You can plug in a USB drive or scp over the network or whatever you need to do.. the data should be OK. It might even be bootable again now :) | 04:52 |
| demonspork | UberCanuck, that is why I am still asking about the problem | 04:52 |
| demonspork | :) | 04:52 |
| fde | gina: does 'lspci | grep -i wireless' return anything? | 04:52 |
| kuahara | that partition was never bootable | 04:52 |
| Starnestommy | jchico: it also has your preferences for firefox | 04:52 |
| kuahara | it was just for storage | 04:52 |
| kuahara | the other partition is where I had windows installed | 04:52 |
| gina | someone help me out here like 6 months ago.. he sent me a link where i fallow some steps and was able to use wireless on my mac for about 6 months... and is not working anymore.. | 04:52 |
| djhash | kuahara: seems like the problem is worse than I thought.. sorry was away for a while.. but i'm glad to see you've recovered your files.. or atleast see them.. :-) | 04:52 |
| domcae3113 | hola | 04:52 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: well anyhow.. your stuff.. I rock! Hope it's all OK and not corrupted. It's mounted readonly so at least it can't get any worse | 04:53 |
| jchico | eh, barely have any so I'll give that a shot, I had to use Konqueror because this hanging issue is so annoying! | 04:53 |
| UberCanuck | drivetrax, sudo apt-get install tcl | 04:53 |
| fde | gina: does 'lspci | grep -i wireless' return anything? | 04:53 |
| domcae3113 | quioen vive | 04:53 |
| kuahara | ok, now can I take the other partition and divide it in 2? I want to put XP 32 bit back on there, but also I want to set aside 30ish gb for ubuntu | 04:53 |
| kuahara | so I can dual boot | 04:53 |
| kuahara | zcat, want me to paypal you? | 04:53 |
| domcae3113 | please | 04:53 |
| drivetrax | UberCanuck, thanks, but I wanted to ask why.. tcl should be in the system, imo | 04:53 |
| gina | fde i got this: 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5418 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 04:53 |
| jackal | does anyone here work for ubuntu | 04:53 |
| djhash | zcat[1]:i read through.. you definately rock.. i need to learn more.. kudos.. | 04:54 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, move your ~/.mozilla folder to a temp location and see if firefox still craps out | 04:54 |
| lopin | So, is there any way to mount a vmware image as a file system in ubuntu? | 04:54 |
| lopin | I need to get a few zip files off of one image if there's no way I can get vmware working in ubuntu | 04:54 |
| UberCanuck | drivetrax, install fits on 1 700 mb iso, if the library is not needed, then why include it - its an apt-get away | 04:54 |
| zcat[1] | kuahara: I would find somewhere to copy your stuff to, then start fresh with that drive.. I wouldn't rely on it 'cos I might have still guessed the numbers wrong and it could turn real ugly the nest time you defrag or anything | 04:54 |
| siswago | ww | 04:54 |
| demonspork | UberCanuck, already tried that, it is not a ff specific problem, it is systemwide | 04:55 |
| kuahara | how can I back all that stuff up? | 04:55 |
| drivetrax | is only available from another source | 04:55 |
| drivetrax | E: Package tcl has no installation candidate | 04:55 |
| kuahara | in the condition my drive is in? | 04:55 |
| lopin | demonspork: Mine did that when My HD was failing | 04:55 |
| UberCanuck | lopin, sudo apt-get install zip unzip | 04:55 |
| drivetrax | it isn't there | 04:55 |

| eboyjr | I want my deskbar applt to have a text box right on the panel.. How can I set that up? | 04:55 |

| UberCanuck | demonspork, or forums? (sorry, no idea) | 04:55 |
| zcat[1] | well, you have network and could scp it, or you can plug in a USB drive.. | 04:55 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, maybe dns | 04:55 |
| demonspork | lopin, only had it fer 1 year | 04:56 |

| zcat[1] | kuahara: if you want to take the risk, you can just treat is as probably OK and work from there.. I wouldn't but it's your drive :) | 04:57 |
| demonspork | lopin, I have heard that a segmentation fault is when you are walking along and step into an interdimensional bridge that destroys the universe and then you cease to exist | 04:57 |
| kuahara | the 30GB can be whatever partition type that ubuntu needs it to be | 04:57 |
| kuahara | the rest needs to be ntfs | 04:57 |

| k20a | styles in synaptic install the wine pakage | 05:02 |
| k20a | or that | 05:02 |
| styles | k20a, starnestommy, whats the difference in the two? | 05:02 |
| eboyjr | We need D on #ubuntu-trivia | 05:02 |
| Starnestommy | styles: mine's command line, k20a's is graphical, but they both install the same wine | 05:02 |
| k20a | the difference is you are either using apt-get or synaptic to get the package | 05:02 |
| fde | styles: One gets you pretty pictures to click on... the other does it with no frills | 05:02 |
| gcarrillo | whats the name of the clock in the panel? | 05:02 |
| jc | ok gota go, the my wife wants some attention too tonight by all and thanks for all the help | 05:02 |
| lopin | jc: That's perhaps one of the best MP3 players on the market. Cried when my Zen Vision M's screen died. But, anyway, creative doesn't use that format, which is funny cause the cheapy chineese made mp3 players use ogg... | 05:02 |
| styles | k just wondering :) | 05:02 |
| UberCanuck | k20a, remove it from /etc/fstab, turn off swap | 05:03 |
| babola1 | jc: what lopin said.. but if its other formats in it u seek, u'd probably want to look up its firmware.. heck, who knows might be that Creative finally realizes the best things in life are free | 05:03 |
| k20a | thanks uber | 05:03 |
| nano_ | hey guys, how can i stop the automatic creating of "Music" and "Video" directories in my ~/ ? | 05:03 |
| gcarrillo | nm, "clock" | 05:03 |
| k20a | how to i turn it off after i remove it? | 05:03 |
| fivehorizons | jc: by local port, do you mean source or destination port in Putty? | 05:03 |
| Administrator | he | 05:03 |
| Administrator | hi | 05:03 |
| fde | k20a: swapoff | 05:04 |
| styles | How do you uninstall something? :P | 05:04 |

| ubottu | Administrator: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:04 |
| Administrator | im having problems installing ubuntu on my main pc | 05:04 |
| styles | !hi | Styles | 05:04 |
| voland | hi all | 05:04 |
| babola1 | styles: Add/Remove Applications or apt-get remove | 05:04 |
| fde | k20a: so swapoff /dev/<whatever> | 05:04 |
| mkelly32 | hi, i'm looking to install ubuntu on a system w/ dm-crypt & lvm for the root partition... the standard installer doesn't seem to support either of those options... is there some sort of "expert mode" i can run it in? or maybe just mount the system from the command line and run something to install the base system into /mnt or what not? | 05:04 |
| Administrator | can anyone help me with my problem | 05:04 |
| styles | The program isant found in Add/Remove apps | 05:04 |
| Starnestommy | styles: use synaptic | 05:05 |
| Administrator | brb let me go cheange my name | 05:05 |
| patifa | styles: what program? | 05:05 |
| babola1 | then sudo apt-get remove appname might work | 05:05 |
| fde | Administrator: What issues are you encountering? | 05:05 |

| fde | mkelly32: you need to use the alternate installer. | 05:05 |
| kitsuneofdoom | My Rhythymbox stopped working with the upgrade to 8.04, complaining it didn't have the proper codec for ogg, however, it pointed to the ugly plugins, and after I installed them, it still didn't work | 05:05 |
| styles | patifa: Cedega | 05:05 |
| mkelly32 | fde: hmm, and that requires me to download a whole other .iso, doesn't it? | 05:05 |
| fde | mkelly32: fraid so... | 05:06 |
| lopin | UberCanuck: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m72e49324 | 05:06 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, easier: alternate iso, harder, netinst | 05:06 |
| patifa | cedega might not have used the package manager | 05:06 |
| BonezAU | I've been using ubuntu for the last 3 years and i'm now running Hardy. I want to know, is there a list of some really cool apps that I may not have come across? Anything really.. just getting bored with the same applications and want something interesting to do! | 05:06 |
| Milo | is there anyone that knows why the new unbuntu will not install on my desktop pc | 05:06 |
| starcannon | kitsuneofdoom occasionally I have found that reinstalling a media player after installing the plugins gets it going again, try going into synaptic and reinstalling rhythmbox perhaps? | 05:06 |
| mkelly32 | fde: does that cd come w/ lvm / dm-crypt on its own? or do i need to apt-get them from the cd environment? | 05:07 |
| fde | mkelly32: it will allow you to set it up during install | 05:07 |
| mkelly32 | UberCanuck: i'm a former gentoo dev, a netinst shouldn't be too scary for me | 05:07 |
| babola1 | styles: do: sudo dpkg -r cedega | 05:07 |
| fde | mkelly32: same process, same wasted cd... less download off the bat :) | 05:07 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, its not documented for ubuntu, but if you go to debian, you will find instructions (that work with ubuntu) | 05:07 |
| kitsuneofdoom | starcannon: done it | 05:08 |
| UberCanuck | lopin, k, sec | 05:08 |
| Milo | anyone | 05:08 |
| mkelly32 | well, i've installed this desktop w/ the standard disk, so i have it downloaded already... but i figure a netinst image is smaller? | 05:08 |
| mkelly32 | UberCanuck: ya, i think i've done a debian netinst install relatively recently | 05:08 |
| BonezAU | hi, i'm having trouble getting xmms2 to work. I installed it, but there are no icons on my menu and when i type 'xmms2' at the bash prompt it gives me some CLI based options only. what happened to the GUI? | 05:09 |
| xapgyep | i have tohiba satelite a200 and tv out didn`t work. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition | 05:09 |
| fde | mkelly32: netinst is 160-ish megs | 05:09 |
| UberCanuck | lopin, read this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=613976 | 05:09 |
| Milo | <hi | 05:09 |
| starcannon | kitsuneofdoom dang... maybe a different media player would work out better? | 05:10 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, its the same thing | 05:10 |
| mkelly32 | fde: yeah, like a third the size of the alternate cd | 05:10 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, you converting from gentoo or just seeing how others live? | 05:10 |
| stoneDJay | hi... Is the flash player from adobe installing OK up to now on Hardy? | 05:10 |
| mkelly32 | UberCanuck: seeing how it is for others | 05:10 |
| kitsuneofdoom | starcannon: totem doesn't, audacious does, but I prefer Rhythymbox an it ought to work | 05:10 |
| fde | stoneDJay: yes | 05:10 |
| babola1 | !ask | Milo | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Milo: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:10 |
| mkelly32 | gotta say, it's very slick | 05:10 |
| UberCanuck | stoneDJay, 32bit, yes. not sure about 64bit in hardy | 05:11 |
| mkelly32 | and less annoying than i found it last time i tried it | 05:11 |
| stoneDJay | fde: nice! I had some troubles with beta... | 05:11 |
| BonezAU | hi, i'm having trouble getting xmms2 to work. I installed it, but there are no icons on my menu and when i type 'xmms2' at the bash prompt it gives me some CLI based options only. what happened to the GUI? | 05:11 |
| djhash | stoneDJay: I just did that and it worked fine for me. However people have been telling me that installation is best through apt-get or synaptic | 05:11 |
| babola1 | styles: did sudo dpkg -r cedega? | 05:11 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, :-) kewl. welcome to apt-get (though emerge is 'made for men' and I like it very much) | 05:11 |
| mkelly32 | i wasn't completely scared by the relatively few questions the installer asked... the partitioner made me feel safe that it wasn't trashing anything | 05:11 |
| Milo | im having troble installing ubuntu 8.4 lts server on my q6600 abit system | 05:11 |
| mkelly32 | like how it confirmed exactly what was being formatted before i began | 05:11 |
| Milo | it can not detect the sata drive | 05:11 |
| styles | babola1: yeah worked :) | 05:11 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, you can increate verbosity for questions - its default to lower settings than debian | 05:12 |
| babola1 | styles: ok | 05:12 |
| stoneDJay | djhash: ok... I will install it from synaptic, also | 05:12 |
| mkelly32 | UberCanuck: i've used apt before, run some old debian stable servers | 05:12 |
| fde | mkelly32: heh... compared to the Gentoo installer, must have been confusing... | 05:12 |
| UberCanuck | mkelly32, kewl - been using debian before it hit v1 | 05:12 |
| mkelly32 | fde: the gentoo installer is total junk, last i checked | 05:12 |
| mkelly32 | i just do it the "old fashioned way" | 05:12 |
| theLichKing | C | 05:13 |
| bcgrown | I uninstalled network-manager to check if it was causing a problem I was having (no), then reinstalled, now I only get IPv6 (not needed), but no IPv4. How can I turn IPv6 off and have it configure my IPv4 properly? | 05:13 |
| fde | mkelly32: I think everyone does... it's just interesting seeing if they've improved it... | 05:13 |
| mkelly32 | i think the compiz stuff is done pretty tastefully | 05:13 |
| mkelly32 | none of the overkill stuff like the cube even if i pump the options up to high in the appearances dialog | 05:13 |
| mkelly32 | though playing with that was kinda fun back in the day :p | 05:14 |
| starcannon | kitsuneofdoom yeah i hear ya, i prefer xmms for my music needs, they took it out of synaptic in 8.04, and I never really got along with xmms2 so I'll be putting that together from scratch possibly | 05:14 |
| mkelly32 | fde: actually, the 2007 version was worse than previous ones | 05:14 |
| u^A_ | http://photo.pchome.com.tw/ anyone have such problem displaying the page? | 05:14 |
| fde | mkelly32: That and the wobbly windows effect is more a showoff thing than a general usage thing. | 05:14 |
| GroundZer0 | whats "feh" background image handler | 05:14 |
| u^A_ | the flash on top of it can't be removed, if it's in windows, no suchj thing happend | 05:15 |
| fde | GroundZer0: apt-cache show feh | 05:15 |
| jacquesmerde | isn't ubuntu's "add/remove" applications thing a bit misleading, since it doesnt do dependency removal. i mean, most people would think that if they used add/remove to add a program, and the subsequently remove it, they'll end up where they started | 05:15 |
| mkelly32 | about the only irksome thing i don't see an immediate workaround for is that the desktop background can't be set separately for my two monitors (both on one x display, using nvidia's twinview) | 05:15 |
| bpat1182 | what's a good skinnable im client for gnome? | 05:15 |
| MightyTweek | aptitude and the gui Software Installer should use the same repositories, right? | 05:15 |
| mkelly32 | guess i could always jam two images together in just the right way w/ the gimp... | 05:15 |
| patifa | MightyTweek, yes | 05:15 |
| GroundZer0 | fde, how come i cant do apt-get install amsn (the msn client for linux) | 05:16 |
| BonezAU | hi, i'm having trouble getting xmms2 to work. I installed it, but there are no icons on my menu and when i type 'xmms2' at the bash prompt it gives me some CLI based options only. what happened to the GUI? | 05:16 |
| mkelly32 | but since the panels are smart enough to know where the monitors borders are, i'd think the desktop would be too | 05:16 |
| fde | GroundZer0: No idea, why does it say you can't? | 05:16 |
| fde | GroundZer0: 'sudo aptitude install amsn' | 05:16 |
| demonspork | is opera left out of the hardy heron repo? | 05:17 |
| MightyTweek | patifa: I just tried doing an update with Aptitude and it said it couldn't update some packages because there were unmet dependancies, yet when I ran the Update Manager it saw a bunch of updates that Aptitude didn't see and installed everything just fine! Any idea why that might have happened? | 05:17 |
| gleyve | fde: I found a descriptor for my webcam driver....0c45_624f_device_descriptors.txt | 05:17 |
| patifa | MightyTweek, I suppose their behavior is different. | 05:17 |
| gleyve | fde: any idea what can i do eith this descripttor? | 05:18 |
| fde | gleyve: sorry, I'm not a device developer | 05:18 |
| BonezAU | what is going on with xmms2? can someone pls help | 05:18 |
| bpat1182 | How would you cleanly and completely remove a package and all its dependencies? | 05:18 |
| legend2440 | !xmms | 05:19 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 05:19 |
| fde | bpat1182: sudo aptitude --purge <package> | 05:19 |
| bpat1182 | fde thanks | 05:19 |
| gleyve | fde: :) ok man, lol | 05:19 |
| fde | bpat1182: sudo aptitude purge <package> sorry | 05:19 |
| MightyTweek | patifa: I thought maybe the Update Manager might try another repository if it couldn't connect to the specified one or something. Not a big deal, just curious | 05:19 |
| patifa | demonspork, opera isn't in the hardy heron repository, it's in the 'partner' repository. | 05:19 |
| starcannon | jacquesmerde dependencies are left in place because the user may have installed other software that now depends on it... though that could be recorded as well, evidentally the consensus view is to just leave the depends installed | 05:19 |
| slestak | can anyone tell me how to downgrade the kernel package from 2.6.24-16 to 2.6.24-12 using apt or aptitude | 05:19 |
| UberCanuck | demonspork, maybe in the mediubuntu repos? don't know, don't use it | 05:19 |
| bpat1182 | fde: thanks | 05:19 |
| BonezAU | legend2440, xmms is not a package in ubuntu anymore. it seems to have moved to xmms2, but when i install that package, i get no GUI | 05:19 |
| famicom | Is there anyone here that has experience with ubuntu run levels | 05:20 |
| famicom | I'm reading the documentation, but i don't really grok it | 05:20 |
| fde | famicom: Ubuntu doesn't have different default runlevels for 2-5 | 05:20 |
| patifa | MightyTweek, oh, maybe. I just meant they still search the same repositories (i.e. hardy-updates), though that's to say nothing of what servers they go through. | 05:20 |
| famicom | fde oh | 05:20 |
| famicom | well, that explains a lot | 05:21 |
| famicom | what's the ubuntu equivalent of init | 05:21 |
| fde | famicom: They can be customized if you'd like, but by default they are exactly the same. | 05:21 |
| famicom | well, I want to ad a script to init | 05:21 |
| famicom | but it was written with debian in mind | 05:21 |
| forsaken | how do I get the expose-like effects in hardy? (show all windows when i go to an edge of the screen) | 05:22 |
| jacquesmerde | starcannon: i understand why they leave dependencies, i'm just saying that they do that should be more clear | 05:22 |
| drivetrax | I used Synaptic twice now.. to get eggdrop.. but nothing happened | 05:22 |
| famicom | If i want to start something, do you use exec or script | 05:23 |
| drivetrax | I used Synaptic to get TCLX8.4 , but the tcl cannot be found | 05:23 |
| Starnestommy | drivetrax: what about just tcl8.4 ? | 05:23 |
| jacquesmerde | starcannon: and i take it the issue is not removing depencies which could be relied upon by other installed apps, because those particular cases could be avoided, but people not realising they want to keep one of the dependencies in its own right | 05:23 |
| drivetrax | rather.. synaptic said it installed eggdrop.. but.. it did not | 05:23 |
| famicom | drivetrax then install it from source | 05:23 |
| famicom | duh | 05:23 |
| fde | forsaken: run 'gconf-editor' and go to /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options and configure it as you'd like | 05:23 |
| UberCanuck | drivetrax, dpkg -L tcl8.4 | 05:23 |
| cappicard | what's a good alternative to automatix in hardy? | 05:24 |
| drivetrax | looks | 05:24 |
| famicom | cappicard apt-get | 05:24 |
| fde | cappicard: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:24 |
| kuahara | what is apt-get how does that work in linux (I'm a linux nub) | 05:24 |
| UberCanuck | drivetrax, I apt-cached it, found, might be in another repo | 05:24 |
| Xcell | Ye Ha! | 05:24 |
| famicom | automatix is a pile of wank | 05:24 |
| slestak | can anyone tell me how to downgrade the kernel package from 2.6.24-16 to 2.6.24-12 using apt or aptitude | 05:24 |
| Xcell | Ubuntu rox | 05:24 |
| fde | !apt > kuahara | 05:25 |
| famicom | slestak remove the metapackages that installed it | 05:25 |
| famicom | and then get the kernel specific version | 05:25 |
| UberCanuck | famicom, stay away from automatix - not really needed since before gutsy | 05:25 |
| famicom | UberCanuck agreed | 05:25 |
| novmware | lopin: any progress with vvmware? i am on my internet tablet now, hard to follow conversation.. | 05:25 |
| famicom | it's just a shellscript that is visualized by zenity | 05:26 |
| slestak | famicom: when i do apt-cache search, i only see 2.6.24-16 available. wonder if i need to enable other repo to get 2.6.24-12 available? | 05:26 |
| slestak | maybe a gutsy repo? | 05:26 |
| kuahara | pulled my wife's hdd so I can backup all this crap on hers. literally took 2+ minutes just to see a windows screen indicating that it was starting that os | 05:26 |

| drivetrax | wow.. synaptic installed it all in /usr/lib/ | 05:28 |
| UberCanuck | slestak, on apt-cache search, I see 2.6.24 linux-image | 05:28 |
| rangef1nder | what package do you need for streamign audio? | 05:28 |
| famicom | kuahara could be | 05:28 |
| famicom | rangef1nder what do you want to stream | 05:28 |
| fde | UberCanuck: Only -16 (default hardy) or -17 (update) is available since release though. | 05:28 |
| famicom | ugh | 05:28 |
| slestak | UberCanuck: -16 or -12? or both? | 05:28 |
| famicom | screw it | 05:28 |
| famicom | this channel makes me hate people | 05:28 |

| marupa | Got a weird issue. I can play lots of video files in mplayer, but one particular one doesn't have sound. I copied over the .vob from the DVD, and loading the vob into vlc works, I can hear it just fine, but trying to play the same file in mplayer offers no audio at all. Is there a particular setting I need to set? | 05:43 |
| bcgrown | rebooting to ubuntu, ciao! | 05:43 |

| starcannon | albech sounds like possibly line of sight disconnects is anything getting between the device and the computer? Bluetooth in my opinion is very unstable, even on devices, my headset and my phone for instance, I can not put the phone in my coat pocket, the headset will lose its connection etc... | 05:50 |
| Cartucci | i am trying to set up a local repo ant its there but i can not do local repo installs or updates | 05:51 |

| Xcell | <----- is on break, brb | 05:54 |
| djhash | nj786: well.. i've had some trouble.. but nothing big.. but the problem was from my end not ubuntus.. so try the LiveCD and see if you like it... although Firefox is the FF 3 Beta.. but i haven't had any problems with it yet.. | 05:55 |
| drivetrax | My TCLsh info patchlevel shows 8.4.15 | 05:55 |
| drivetrax | uh.. | 05:56 |
| nj786 | djhash: well i basically ran an upgrade to get the new ubuntu | 05:56 |
| drivetrax | the eggdrop that is sent via Synaptic.. is not a binary? | 05:56 |
| alfa | sofyan? | 05:57 |
| djhash | nj786: actually the upgrade is what killed me..lol.. upgrading from fiesty was a bit of a hassle.. so i did a clean install.. but it turns out the problem was with one of my other hard drives... | 05:57 |
| sTeFFi_19 | test | 05:57 |
| marupa | Any ideas for things I can try to fix the audio in mplayer? | 05:57 |

| nj786 | djhash: i see...i seem to have no trouble yet so far... | 05:58 |
| djhash | anyways back to my "mis-entered" msg.. i'm using konversation... and I want to be able to do something like right click a nick name then everytime that nick sends a msg in channel.. it will highlight it... any ideas?!! | 05:58 |

| ushimitsudoki | where do i add/edit the password for the default keyring? in hardy it seems many applications are raising a dialog to access the default keyring, but i don't recall setting this up | 06:02 |
| Xcell | !donate | 06:03 |
| ubottu | To donate to Ubuntu, you can !participate or go to http://www.ubuntu.com/donations | 06:03 |
| undecim | if I were to create a chroot environment and give someone root access to that environment, would they be able to do anything at all to my computer? | 06:03 |
| Xcell | I did | 06:03 |
| djhash | nj786: sorry but i'm not THAT good in ubuntu :-P | 06:03 |
| nickrud | undecim as long as they are in the chroot, they can't see anything above it | 06:03 |
| Starnestommy | undecim: just to the chroot environment. | 06:03 |
| * djhash wonders then how good is he?!! | 06:03 | |
| kindofabuzz | undecim: anyone in the admin group can do anything they want | 06:03 |
| Xcell | Im good djhash | 06:04 |
| undecim | So, they couldn't for example, mess with my running kernel? | 06:04 |
| albuntu | am i missing java here ? exec: 26: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java: not found ? if yes what is the package i have to download ? | 06:04 |
| patifa | undecim: They could load modules into the kernel. | 06:04 |
| adapter` | I seem to be having an issue with setting a static IP address in 8.04 anyone around? | 06:04 |
| djhash | Xcell: then please answer this question for both of us.. do you know how to install icon themes? | 06:04 |
| Xcell | djhash: i onate monthly. why? cuz these folks rox, plain and simple | 06:05 |
| bouma | the update manager wants to download a 14meg evolution update, i dont use evolution so instead i used synaptic to remove evolution and two other dependancies i think plugin and something containing evo in the name, but the update manager still wants to download the 14meg evolution update, im pretty sure ive removed it | 06:05 |
| frogscott | does anyone here know how to install Virtual Box on Ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| marupa | albuntu, sun-java-6 | 06:05 |
| stroyan | undecim: Root access in a chroot can make and access device files. It can do serious damage. | 06:05 |
| bouma | and ive rechecked for updates, and rebooted | 06:05 |
| usser | adapter`, what kind of issue? | 06:05 |
| albuntu | marupa: thanks | 06:05 |
| albuntu | frogscott: you find virtualbox in synaptic | 06:05 |
| undecim | okay, thanks. | 06:05 |
| adapter` | if I try setting a static IP address for the box it won't work it's only working under dhcp | 06:05 |
| marupa | albuntu, if that doesn't work, sun-java6-bin | 06:05 |
| djhash | Xcell: i actually was commenting on myself being not-a-mere more than a noob in ubuntu.. yet i'm trying to help people :-P | 06:05 |
| frogscott | yes sir I have it installed now I need to load XP on it Albuntu | 06:06 |
| usser | albuntu, that should do it sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-generic | 06:06 |
| Xcell | djhash: donate, its way cheaper than u know who. | 06:06 |
| usser | albuntu, sorry, wasnt for you | 06:06 |
| Xcell | way cheaper | 06:06 |
| sc006 | virtual box web page has a good manual too. | 06:07 |
| usser | adapter`, do you also set default gateway? | 06:07 |
| OmegaNine | How do I set my video drivers to use the non-free restirced nvidia drivers | 06:07 |
| nickrud | Xcell if people want to contribute they will, they don't need to be nagged ;) | 06:07 |
| frogscott | yes I have gone through all that manual | 06:07 |
| djhash | Xcell: I will as soon as I get a job.. I'm a student, and my brother gives me pocket money... | 06:07 |
| JeffATL | ubuntu 8.04 install on known working new hardware - screen has gone black and has stayed that way for ~15 mins. broken? | 06:07 |
| usser | adapter`, and dns server has to be set manually as well | 06:07 |
| albuntu | frogscott: use the iso of xp in it. its very simple to set it up | 06:07 |
| Xcell | I dont nag, i meerly ask. | 06:07 |
| frogscott | iso of XP is that in there already albuntu? | 06:07 |
| Xcell | meegerly | 06:07 |
| adapter` | yes I did, I've tried from the graphical menu and and I've tried from /etc/network/interfaces too | 06:07 |
| frogscott | let me look for that thanks | 06:08 |
| usser | frogscott, uhm no, iso or windows xp cd | 06:08 |
| albuntu | frogscott: no. it isnt there. you have to select the iso | 06:08 |
| djhash | >ifdown Xcell | 06:08 |
| frogscott | where would I find the iso? | 06:08 |
| adapter` | I've noticed I can't access my router config from that box either | 06:08 |
| ccaic | vbox | 06:08 |
| usser | adapter`, pastebin your interfaces file if u dont mind | 06:08 |
| frogscott | when i am setting vritual box up is it? | 06:08 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: hmm, when you hit alt-ctrl-F2 you end up to commandline, where you can log in and check if X logs have anything interesting, right? | 06:09 |
| nickrud | djhash missed the question about icon packs; right click the desktop, and drag the icon pack onto the dialog window; you'll see the selector after you hit the customize button | 06:09 |
| frogscott | it is already set up and now how to find it? | 06:09 |
| usser | adapter`, so its not dns issue, can u ping your own ip? | 06:09 |
| Carbonflux | in your home dir frogscott | 06:09 |
| Carbonflux | .VirtualBox | 06:09 |
| Carbonflux | is the default | 06:09 |
| adapter` | no it won't ping | 06:09 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: grew impatient; rebooted via button | 06:09 |
| Xcell | hey djhash these folks allowed me freedom from windoze....shaddap. | 06:09 |
| Carbonflux | the binary will be in /usr/bin | 06:10 |
| Carbonflux | type whereis virtualbox | 06:10 |
| djhash | nickrud: thanks.. | 06:10 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: heh, it could be just overactive screensaver for example, or, buggy driver, or, whatever | 06:10 |
| djhash | nj786: did you get that? | 06:10 |
| Carbonflux | I use virtual box a lot, I really like it | 06:10 |
| usser | adapter`, can u pastebin your interfaces also when with dhcp did u look at ifconfig see what kind of address router gives? | 06:10 |
| nj786 | djhash: yes | 06:10 |
| djhash | Xcell: I get my windows for a mere buck.... $5 for WinXP Pro and $10 for Win Vista <--- no not a typo | 06:11 |

| Xcell | thank you | 06:12 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: looks like black screen upon booting also - ctl-alt-f2 gets me to a text mode login prompt - am looking at xorg log now | 06:12 |
| Carbonflux | frogscott, if you have a legal copy I can tell you ;) | 06:12 |
| patifa | frogscott, you can create an ISO from the CD, then install from the ISO using virtualbox. | 06:12 |
| enes | mk | 06:12 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: great, sounds like just driver issue or so | 06:12 |
| adapter` | usser, http://pastebin.com/m4d769084 | 06:12 |
| usser | frogscott, sudo umount /dev/cdrom ; dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/xp.iso | 06:12 |

| patifa | I have an XP, a win2K, Ubuntu 8.04, 7.10, and a slackware ISO on my computer, for creating various virtual machines. | 06:12 |

| Starnestommy | nunyabzns: /join #wiidev | 06:13 |
| Carbonflux | ya same, I have a xubuntu also I like for vbox | 06:13 |
| usser | adapter`, one sec | 06:13 |
| patifa | nunyabzns, try putting a / in front of that | 06:13 |
| frogscott | yes come on who do I listen to? ISO or CD guys? | 06:13 |
| patifa | OmegaNine, nv I think, let me check | 06:13 |
| nunyabzns | thanks | 06:13 |
| o0Chris0o | do screenlets work in 8.04? | 06:14 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: "grep EE /vat/log/Xorg.0.log" returns what ? pastebin :) | 06:14 |
| Carbonflux | o0Chris0o, nice hard to type nick, they do work, you are lucky to get a answer tho | 06:14 |
| usser | frogscott, get the iso always nice to have a backup of your installation cd | 06:14 |
| nunyabzns | i forgot it's been a while for me | 06:14 |
| patifa | o0Chris0o, yes, tried them then went back to gnome applets. | 06:14 |
| frogscott | ok thanks usser | 06:14 |
| Carbonflux | so long as you have python installed | 06:14 |
| Carbonflux | they work fine | 06:14 |
| Carbonflux | I still don't see the point of that nick tho | 06:14 |
| Carbonflux | if you are looking for help heh | 06:15 |
| rismatika | hayyyy | 06:15 |
| o0Chris0o | I don't see the point of yours | 06:15 |
| OmegaNine | I have it installed, (at least apt-get is telling me I do) but I dont think im using the restricted driver | 06:15 |
| doug_ | Carbonflux: all you have to do is type o0 then tab his name its not that hard lol | 06:15 |
| erat123 | anyone have recommendations for virtualization software under ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| Lord_Tarball | hi, i upgraded to Hardy and my flash support in firefox seems gone; is there any fix out there ? | 06:15 |
| o0Chris0o | yeah | 06:15 |
| Carbonflux | doug_, maybe its my font | 06:15 |
| Carbonflux | guess I need a new font, the zero's and O's look the same | 06:16 |
| usser | adapter`, hm apart from missing broadcast looks like mine | 06:16 |
| enes | my flash in hardy works fine | 06:16 |
| doug_ | Carbonflux: ah i hate that lol mine is a little blury as well | 06:16 |
| o0Chris0o | patifa: didn't know there were gnome screenlets | 06:16 |
| frogscott | Usser is that two commands or one? | 06:16 |
| Carbonflux | o0Chris0o, gDesklets | 06:16 |
| patifa | o0Chris0o, not screenlets, per say, I went back to just using standard gnome applets. | 06:16 |
| o0Chris0o | ahh | 06:16 |
| usser | adapter`, its two commands but u can paste it as one line, two commands joined by ";" | 06:16 |
| o0Chris0o | are they basicly the same? | 06:16 |
| patifa | I don't think so | 06:17 |
| monkeybritches | erat123: Try virtual box | 06:17 |
| marupa | Nobody has mencoder/mplayer experience? | 06:17 |
| Carbonflux | o0Chris0o, no, they are not python based | 06:17 |
| adapter` | usser, I read many people seem to be having this problem but I saw no solution on the forums | 06:17 |
| patifa | The screenlets sat on my desktop, the gnome applets are lodged in my docks. | 06:17 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 06:17 |
| erat123 | monkeybritches: i tried that but it says the kernel is not supported on hardy | 06:17 |
| sriramoman | how do i prevent network applet enable/disable from overriding ifconfig (eth0 down)? | 06:17 |
| adapter` | I'll use dhcp if I have to it's just weird how it won't work | 06:17 |
| Carbonflux | screenlets are really easy to write | 06:17 |
| usser | adapter`, u dont say, weirdest thing i've ever seen | 06:17 |
| frogscott | usser is that two commands or one on the iso install? the ones u listed above? | 06:18 |
| sriramoman | erat123, download VB from their site, not from add/remove. | 06:18 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: http://rafb.net/p/PmtxOS82.html | 06:18 |
| yacc | Hmmm, where to complain about a broken mirror? I'm getting download errors consistently for a day now :( | 06:18 |
| Carbonflux | o0Chris0o, you want them in your widget layer ? | 06:18 |
| erat123 | sriramoman: ok, i'll try that. thanks! | 06:18 |
| usser | frogscott, sigh, kk 2 commands first do sudo umount /dev/cdrom | 06:18 |
| nickrud | sriramoman I used to disable it by turning off the applet in system->prefs->session | 06:18 |
| pawan | this command is not working for me | 06:18 |
| usser | frogscott, after that dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/xp.iso | 06:18 |
| doug_ | frogscott: hey why dont you take the iso and extract it then try it ? its what i do with my iso.s | 06:18 |
| o0Chris0o | Car I don't think I got widgets | 06:18 |
| OmegaNine | What the name of the restriced nvidia graphics driver? Like what the xorg.conf name for it is? | 06:19 |
| pawan | sudo chmod atx ./nvidia*.run | 06:19 |
| patifa | usser, he could just use brazero instead | 06:19 |
| o0Chris0o | I would have to install em | 06:19 |
| monkeybritches | erat123: How recently did you try? Hardy is listed under the platforms on the download page. | 06:19 |
| sriramoman | nickrud, basically i want other users(whose passwords i dont know) also to avoid internet usage. | 06:19 |
| usser | patifa, yes of course but cmd is faster :) | 06:19 |
| nickrud | pawan sudo chmod a+x nvidia*run | 06:19 |
| frogscott | I am a newb to Ubuntu I am just trying to do basic install thanks | 06:19 |
| doug_ | Carbonflux: you do codes for widgits? | 06:19 |
| usser | patifa, and more universal | 06:19 |
| pawan | ok thanks | 06:19 |
| sc006 | OmegaNine, nvidia | 06:19 |
| adapter` | usser, I just installed it so I'll reinstall and see if it changes anything | 06:20 |
| monkeybritches | Everyone was new at something at some point. Except for me because I'm timeless. | 06:20 |
| OmegaNine | sc006: Hum, thanks. | 06:20 |
| patifa | usser, I'm just under the feeling that I should tell people the GUI method first, because while I'm fully capable of using the CLI, not everyone else is. | 06:21 |
| frogscott | or old | 06:21 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: nvidia video driver? | 06:21 |
| usser | adapter`, its not gonna help most likely | 06:21 |
| sc006 | OmegaNine, your talking about in the xorg.cong file? | 06:21 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: btw, lspci says "01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]" | 06:21 |
| sc006 | OmegaNine, or the driver name | 06:21 |
| dfranke | I just bought a USB MIDI keyboard and I've tried setting it up with Ubuntu Studio to play through JACK/TiMidity, and I'm getting about a half second latency between hitting a key and hearing sound. Is there anything I can do about that? | 06:21 |
| OmegaNine | sc006 Yeah, my buddy installed ubuntu and did the upgrade before OKing the use of the driver, now its not letting him OK it | 06:21 |
| doug_ | sc006: i have a nvidia card if u need a driver installed i know an easy way to do it. | 06:22 |
| nickrud | sriramoman hm. iirc if you set up a network stanza in interfaces, networkmanager will ignore that connection; don't set it as auto and if/up it down? | 06:22 |

| frogscott | usser it says not found but the cd is now running | 06:24 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: well, whatever the problem is, it's not because of Ubuntu, but I don't know much about ati myself so, hard to say | 06:24 |

| doug_ | OmegaNine: you need to install a nvidia video card driver? | 06:25 |
| doug_ | Carbonflux: np just wanted take it offtopic for a min. | 06:25 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: you don't need to install vesa driver, it's somewhat "failsafe standard" driver | 06:26 |
| iceolate | hello.. can someone help me with what seems like a simple problem? getting my keyboards volume control knob to control the system volume? | 06:26 |
| usser | frogscott, how about umount /dev/dvd | 06:26 |
| mistform | how do I see if I have USB2? | 06:26 |
| mistform | what do I type in terminal? | 06:26 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: It looks like it. After the upgrade it wouldnt use the driver, so I am trying to uninstlal and reinstall the 3rd party driver | 06:26 |
| usser | mistform, how old is your computer? | 06:27 |

| doug_ | OmegaNine: u sure its not .04 ? | 06:28 |
| usser | frogscott, oh well cool, i guess right click on that icon and choose unmount | 06:28 |
| usser | frogscott, and proceed to the next step | 06:28 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: any ways at the top go to apps>add/remove | 06:28 |
| frogscott | ok usser | 06:28 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: my xorg.conf looks so generic that it hardly seems usable - doesn't specify *any* driver | 06:28 |
| sc006 | doug_, no prob | 06:28 |
| iceolate | nickrud: yeah, a graphical window pops up showing that i'm turning the volume. i ran alsamixer from the terminal and it shows i'm controlling the master volume of that. | 06:28 |
| usser | frogscott, actually we need to know your cdrom name | 06:28 |
| usser | frogscott, dont do 2nd step | 06:28 |
| mistform | ubuntu 6.09 i think | 06:28 |
| mistform | feisty | 06:28 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Done | 06:29 |
| usser | frogscott, do ls /dev/cd* instead see if anything shows up | 06:29 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: then the top tab click all open source and thent ype in hardware and check the one that sayes | 06:29 |
| patifa | mistform, want to know if you have USB 2.0? Run "lspci -v | grep HCI" in the terminal, put the output on the pastebin. | 06:29 |
| mistform | 6.07 is feisty? isk | 06:29 |
| drivetrax | conftest.c:53:26: error: minix/config.h: No such file or directory | 06:29 |

| duse| | How do i access my system settings(especially Display settings for my monitor) Via Fluxbox? (installed on xubuntu) ? | 06:29 |
| nickrud | iceolate but it's not changing the volume, even though alsa is showing doing so? | 06:29 |
| usser | frogscott, hm do ls /dev/cd* | 06:29 |
| frogscott | usser ok | 06:30 |
| andika_smg | semarang | 06:30 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: Nvidia binary X.org driver (new driver) then the Hardware Drivers but make sure u click the one sayes (new driver) | 06:30 |
| iceolate | nickrud: yes. when i look at my system volume it says Audigy 1 [SB0090] Alsa mixer | 06:30 |
| frogscott | usser root@scott-desktop:~# hm do ls /dev/cd* | 06:30 |
| frogscott | bash: hm: command not found | 06:30 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: K, give me a sec, going this over VNC | 06:30 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: then open synaptics manager and type in envy and install envy. | 06:31 |
| mistform | alright, thanks guys | 06:31 |
| usser | frogscott, hm was just me going "hm" command is ls /dev/cd* | 06:31 |
| mistform | I'm trying to play with some crap | 06:31 |
| mistform | bluetooth | 06:31 |
| mistform | but I needed USB2 | 06:31 |
| frogscott | lol ahahahaha | 06:31 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: let me know when you are done with the add/remove | 06:31 |
| patifa | mistform: you can try the same thing but replace the grep thing with grep "USB 2.0" | 06:31 |
| usser | frogscott, sorry :P | 06:31 |
| nickrud | iceolate I was going to try to get you to the point where the hardware makes alsa's master move up and down, you're already there and I don't know why that wouldn't change the volume | 06:31 |
| patifa | mistform, but don't paste it this time ;) | 06:31 |
| frogscott | root@scott-desktop:~# ls /dev/cd* | 06:31 |
| frogscott | /dev/cdrom1 /dev/cdrw1 | 06:31 |
| andika_smg | semarang | 06:32 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: heh, so prolly we should add one, hmmm | 06:32 |
| nickrud | andika_smg ?? | 06:32 |
| iceolate | nickrud: someone pointed me to within gconf-editor and there was a default mixer, but i didn't know what to enter there | 06:32 |
| andika_smg | semarang | 06:32 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Nvidia binary X.org driver is not showing up at all. I get NVIDIA X Server Settings | 06:32 |
| binarymutant | how can I get a text based browser to display images while in X? directfb didn't work | 06:32 |
| iceolate | let me try to find it again | 06:32 |
| usser | frogscott, ah i see so do dd if=/dev/cdrom1 of=~/xp.iso | 06:32 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: well, what happened to this whole installation process that handled that? | 06:32 |
| OmegaNine | doug_ take that back | 06:32 |
| frogscott | usser ok | 06:32 |
| duse| | binarydigit, there was one called something starting with D... ditto? | 06:32 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: u found the driver ( new drier) one? | 06:33 |
| usser | frogscott, thats gonna create an iso file on your desktop, an exact copy of the cd | 06:33 |
| patifa | binarydigit, what is it supposed to do, turn the images into ascii art? | 06:33 |
| nickrud | iceolate you can change that with right click the volume control on the panel; the top button is a drop down you can change | 06:33 |
| iceolate | nickrud: apps>desktop>gnome>sound | 06:33 |
| OmegaNine | doug_ yes I did, its installing now | 06:33 |
| patifa | usser: in his home folder, not the desktop | 06:33 |
| nickrud | iceolate same thing | 06:33 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: once done click on the first hardware one u see. | 06:34 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: we now rely on "automagic" which works well in great majority of cases | 06:34 |
| usser | patifa, frogscott right my bad in your home folder not the desktop | 06:34 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: going down from the top of the list. | 06:34 |
| iceolate | nickrud preferences from the volume control at the panel? | 06:34 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: new Xorg which does things just tad bit better | 06:34 |
| nickrud | iceolate yes, | 06:34 |
| pschulz01 | Greetings.. what is the default desktop manager (Ubuntu). I did an upgrade and would like to get the 3d effects working, but the Window decorations disappear when I turn them on. | 06:34 |
| binarymutant | patifa well links2 can display images, but I wanted it to be in the confines of a terminal instead of a new window | 06:34 |
| frogscott | usser seems to be doing something good job | 06:35 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: it should be the third one down | 06:35 |
| iceolate | nickrud i think i tried that before and i switched to every device it had available and the volume knob doesn't respond | 06:35 |
| nickrud | pschulz01 try alt-f2 gtk-window-decorator --replace , see if you get the missing borders | 06:35 |
| usser | frogscott, its gonna take some time 5 to 10 minutes usually | 06:35 |
| virtuald | pschulz01: the default window manager with i think you meant is metacity | 06:35 |
| nickrud | iceolate you said that alsamixer follows the knob, right? | 06:35 |
| iceolate | nickrud it's possible that maybe my keyboard is not recognized, i don't know | 06:35 |
| iceolate | nickrud yeah | 06:35 |
| chelz | i modified /etc/hosts, how do i get the changes to take effect without logging out/in or restarting? | 06:35 |
| patifa | usser: also the GUI programs provide lots of feedback ;) | 06:36 |
| frogscott | great if I can get my Wincrap software to work I will kiss you | 06:36 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: then there is another one as well install that one too. | 06:36 |
| nickrud | iceolate then it's recognized, and correctly configured. Why alsa isn't changing the sound volume is another question | 06:36 |
| quicksilver_ | Hello out there. Is it a commonly known issue to have smooth scrolling kick my computers ass (quad-core, lots of ram) in ubuntu 8.04 under firefox 3 beta 5? It used to work find under FF 2.0.0.12... | 06:36 |
| sc006 | doug_, not so easy ehh lol | 06:36 |
| usser | patifa, which no one reads anyway :P | 06:36 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: You lost me, what hardware am I clicking on? | 06:36 |
| doug_ | sc006: actually yes it is keep watching. | 06:36 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: the only ones that say *hardware drivers* | 06:37 |
| iceolate | nickrud the output at the top of the alsamixer screen says CARD NVIDIA Ck804 CHIP Realtek ALC850 rv0 | 06:37 |
| quicksilver_ | It basically takes 2/4 of my processors to near 100%, and my disk usage goes nuts when I use smooth scrolling. | 06:37 |
| sc006 | doug_, ive used envy before | 06:37 |
| patifa | quicksilver_, yeah, lots of people are having Firefox 3 beta 5 doing weird stuff in Ubuntu 8.04 | 06:37 |
| quicksilver_ | Ok, just making sure. | 06:37 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Oh OK yeah its install already, reinstall it? | 06:37 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: ok, Xorg -configure gave me nothing useful | 06:37 |
| iceolate | nickrud now if i'm not mistaken, realtek was my onboard which i disabled in bios, and my soundcard is creative audigy so i'm sort of confused | 06:37 |
| quicksilver_ | But if it helps anybody in the future... Turning off smooth scrolling helped solve my problem. | 06:37 |
| patifa | I remember a critical marked bug about Firefox and disk thrashing + 100% usage | 06:37 |
| doug_ | sc006: then it is easy well to me anyways beats configuring xorg.conf | 06:37 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: then close that and open synaptic manager. | 06:37 |
| binarymutant | how can I use directfb in gnome-terminal? | 06:38 |
| nickrud | iceolate ah, different issue. Alsa isn't using the correct sound card. you should check in at #alsa for help in configuring it to use the audigy | 06:38 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: once in synaptic type in envy and install those. | 06:38 |
| iceolate | nickrud okay | 06:38 |
| iceolate | brb | 06:38 |
| quicksilver_ | Cool though. Thanks everybody... I didnt see anything handy when I googled ubuntu 8.04 firefox issues.. So at least it can be known in here. :) | 06:38 |
| duse| | How do i access display settings to change my resolution, etc from the TERMINAL? | 06:38 |
| nickrud | binarydigit directfb is for the console, not inside X | 06:38 |
| chillex | hello | 06:39 |
| binarymutant | nickrud is there anyway to display images inside gnome-terminal? | 06:39 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: so how is this "automagic" invoked? | 06:39 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Envy24? (Says its a sound mixer) | 06:39 |
| sc006 | doug_, no doubt on that, my vid card didn't like the stable drivers I had to install beta | 06:39 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: no not 24 | 06:39 |
| nickrud | binarymutant sure, eog <imagefile> | 06:39 |
| binarymutant | nickrud :( | 06:39 |
| pschulz | That didn;t work.. this is with nvidia | 06:39 |
| iceolate | haha i don't think anyone's home at #alsa | 06:39 |
| nickrud | binarymutant hahaha. But seriously, why would you want to put it inside the terminal? | 06:40 |
| t00na | ping | 06:40 |
| notsniw | hrm ubottu doesnt answer: ive got problems connecting to security.ubuntu.com | 06:40 |
| nickrud | iceolate one of these days' I'm gonna spend a year learning alsa :) | 06:40 |
| duse| | How do i access display settings to change my resolution, etc from the TERMINAL? | 06:40 |
| t00na | that works | 06:40 |
| marupa | Anyone know mplayer at all? | 06:40 |
| binarymutant | nickrud I'm running surfraw and links2 instead of firefox and I wanted images | 06:40 |
| notsniw | marupa: yes | 06:40 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: envy-core envy-gtk envyng-gt envyng-gtk | 06:40 |
| iceolate | nickrud i could spend 2 years and wouldn't learn half of ubuntu | 06:40 |
| iceolate | sigh | 06:40 |
| marupa | notsniw, what woulc cause some videos to have audio and some not to have audio, if the files all have audio in VLC? | 06:41 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: K k they are downloadning now. | 06:41 |
| nickrud | binarydigit iirc you can configure link2 to use eog to display images | 06:41 |
| iceolate | nickrud and i've been using it for about 2 or 3 years | 06:41 |
| doug_ | sc006: i had to do it with my laptop i had and on feisty | 06:41 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: I got to say, as a Fedora user, i heard Ubuntu was more user friendly...This is kinda insane. | 06:41 |
| spacejunk | Hi binarydigit | 06:41 |
| frogscott | usser 1094024+0 records in 1094024+0 records out 560140288 bytes (560 MB) copied, 118.449 s, 4.7 MB/s | 06:41 |
| nickrud | iceolate I've been using debian/debian based for over 7, and I pick my battles now. Too many wounds ;) | 06:41 |
| notsniw | marupa: try starting mplayer from the console and read what it says. maybe a lack of codecs for example | 06:41 |
| binarymutant | nickrud I'll try that ty :) | 06:41 |
| sc006 | doug_, it a pain when they update the kernal | 06:41 |
| usser | frogscott, looks like its done | 06:42 |
| marupa | notsniw, it says it loaded the codec. | 06:42 |
| usser | frogscott, open up virtualbox | 06:42 |
| frogscott | ok where is iso at? | 06:42 |
| frogscott | its not on desktop | 06:42 |
| usser | frogscott, its in your home folder | 06:42 |
| notsniw | marupa: AUDIO-codec? or video or both? | 06:42 |
| patifa | frogscott, Places > yourusernmae | 06:42 |
| marupa | notsniw, both | 06:42 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: it is more user friendly and its that they have not made the nvidia driver auto install its alot easyer then typing the stuff in . been there done that. | 06:42 |
| nickrud | binarymutant you might like to use qiv for images, it's much faster | 06:42 |
| patifa | err, Places > Home Folder | 06:42 |
| Tm_T | JeffATL: sorry, but I don't know | 06:42 |
| iceolate | nickrud you wouldn't know why my nvidia-settings won't recognize my TV would you? | 06:42 |
| notsniw | marupa: maybe your volume is down? :P hit * :) | 06:42 |
| marupa | notsniw, Nope, tried that. | 06:42 |
| nickrud | iceolate nope. I use ati, and as generically as possible | 06:43 |
| doug_ | sc006: no kidding . when they do trust me i will be back here lol asking how to fix it since its been 3 yrs since i last done that. | 06:43 |
| notsniw | hm then i dont know, sorry.. maybe try the mplayer-chan | 06:43 |
| iceolate | nickrud i set it up and the TV will switch on but my monitor'll black out. | 06:43 |
| binarymutant | nickrud I was just thinking about feh but I'll check out qiv | 06:43 |
| IanClark | usser: are you helping frogscott to get his drive recognized? | 06:43 |
| iceolate | hm | 06:43 |
| JeffATL | Tm_T: am noting http://www.beijinglug.org/en/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=66&func=view&id=2334&catid=3 | 06:43 |
| notsniw | but has anyone else trouble connecting to security.ubuntu.com? | 06:43 |
| usser | IanClark, no he just wants to install xp in virtualbox | 06:43 |
| frogscott | usser virtual box open | 06:43 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: let me know when its done. | 06:44 |
| marupa | notsniw, it's laggy, but it connects. | 06:44 |
| usser | frogscott, nice click on new and follow the guidelines | 06:44 |
| notsniw | marupa: i get a ping, but no apt-connection at all | 06:44 |
| usser | frogscott, os type is xp name is anything u want | 06:44 |
| marupa | notsniw, mine took over 2 minutes to resolve. | 06:44 |
| notsniw | doah | 06:44 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: I guess CLI makes more sense to me. it was "yum install nvidia" and it was working hehe. | 06:45 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Yeah its done installing | 06:45 |
| doug_ | sc006: after 7 installs of hardy and gutsy i finally learned how to do the nvidia drivers lol | 06:45 |
| usser | frogscott, memory size should be about 0.3 to 0.5 of your physical memory | 06:45 |
| patifa | doug_, wow | 06:45 |
| patifa | The binary drivers are NOT friendly, not by a long shot, that's for sure. | 06:45 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: then open apps>system>envy | 06:45 |
| frogscott | usser I am leaving at default and expandable Virtual box has it set properly I think | 06:45 |
| marupa | notsniw, audio codec loaded: Selected audio codec: [a52] afm: liba52 (AC3-liba52) | 06:45 |
| usser | frogscott, if u have 1Gb set it to something like 384 or 512 | 06:45 |
| frogscott | usser ok | 06:45 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: when it pops up click on the nvidia choice to install on the far right. | 06:46 |
| === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky | ||
| doug_ | OmegaNine: then check the one sayes install auto and hit ok | 06:46 |
| patifa | frogscott, make sure the virtual hard drive is big enough for XP, it takes at least 2-4 GB just for XP to install, more with Service Pack 2. | 06:46 |
| usser | frogscott, didnt quite get your last phrase? | 06:46 |
| frogscott | 512 MB usser? | 06:46 |
| usser | frogscott, 512 for memory yes | 06:46 |
| sc006 | doug_, envy is a good program it works well, i break stuff all the time but hey thats how your learn | 06:46 |
| frogscott | it is more than big enough patifa it is dynamically expanding | 06:46 |
| usser | frogscott, then theres hard disk | 06:47 |
| nickrud | binarymutant try links2 -driver x , I either forgot or never knew about that option | 06:47 |
| iceolate | i was told to use envy to get my dual monitors working | 06:47 |
| iceolate | it helped a little :) | 06:47 |
| usser | frogscott, click on new, and give it at least 10Gb | 06:47 |
| doug_ | sc006: lol yea i love twinking with stuff. those 7 installs was me crashing something i shouldnt lol. | 06:47 |
| binarymutant | nickrud yeah but it just looks better inside a terminal :) | 06:47 |
| xim | does the compiz on hardy come with the 3dwindows plugin? | 06:47 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Its doin it thing...Downloading packages, let you know when its done. | 06:48 |
| * Marfi is drunk, and going to try to helpz | 06:48 | |
| iceolate | k. just wanted to make sure envy didn't break my ability to play neverwinter nights | 06:48 |
| sc006 | iceolate, if ubuntu detects it use the ubuntu, envy if else fails | 06:48 |
| IanClark | oh. Do you have any suggestions about getting Ubuntu to see my LG GCC-4521B CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive | 06:48 |
| frogscott | it is new but based on ISO I dont get that? so the OS is not determining the Virtual Box then usser? | 06:48 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: ok | 06:48 |
| marupa | notsniw, Any ideas? | 06:48 |
| iceolate | sc006 i get crazy errors :( | 06:48 |
| iceolate | sc006 i can re-create and say what they are... | 06:48 |

| OmegaNine | doug_ hehe I have 640x480 and 800x600 | 06:53 |
| patifa | woah woah frogscott, you just 'created' a virtual machine. You haven't installed any operating system on it yet. | 06:53 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: ah ok lol so it being a but on u yea go head reboot then and let me know when your back. | 06:53 |
| drivetrax | that's a pdf viewer? | 06:53 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: OK | 06:53 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: It will be a sec before I can get back in the system, he went to grab food while I was working | 06:53 |
| usser | frogscott, did u put it there? | 06:53 |
| patifa | frogscott, The 'type' you picked at the begging was just to help VirtualBox select the right options. | 06:53 |
| frogscott | usser I now need to go and select to mount the cd rom ok going to that | 06:53 |
| doug_ | sc006: for some reason i didnt have to reboot after that. | 06:53 |
| kelvin911 | after upgrading to hardy, Evince Document viewer stops working | 06:54 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: thats fine. | 06:54 |
| frogscott | Usser patifa I am o mount selected for cdrom now I choose iso? | 06:54 |
| patifa | yeah frogscott | 06:54 |
| frogscott | um usser patifa I am in .virtual box folder no iso there | 06:55 |
| usser | frogscott, its in your home folder | 06:55 |
| frogscott | would it be xp iso? usser | 06:56 |
| drivetrax | kelvin911, did you uninstall Evince.. and re-install it? | 06:56 |
| usser | frogscott, yea | 06:56 |
| frogscott | there is no home iso image only /home/scott has an xp.iso | 06:57 |
| frogscott | usser ok using that | 06:57 |
| patifa | frogscott, that's it | 06:57 |
| usser | frogscott, if thats the name u specified when doing dd of=~/xp.iso | 06:57 |
| usser | frogscott, ^ | 06:57 |
| zishahu | hello | 06:57 |

| frogscott | usser i hit ok and so now I hit start? | 06:57 |
| usser | frogscott, is it selected in that little box | 06:58 |
| patifa | frogscott, yeah. Then check the main window that your virtual machine's CD/DVD-ROM has 'xp.iso' listed below it. | 06:58 |
| sc006 | doug_, You to restart the xserver | 06:58 |
| zishahu | 你好 | 06:58 |
| frogscott | yes it is all locked and loaded and going to do start now | 06:58 |
| doug_ | sc006: no i rebooted. | 06:58 |
| o0Chris0o | does ubuntu support gdesklet and screenlets? i don't see it in add/remove | 06:58 |
| usser | frogscott, try it | 06:58 |
| duse| | how do i set the default system font size now? the resolution is good (my screen isnt fuzzy) but font size shud be smaller? | 06:58 |
| dhr | on 8.04 AMD64, I want to run Java in firefox. On a web page with JAVA, firefox tells me I need a plugin, I say "go ahead", it installs it, still no JAVA. I actually tried both plugins offered. | 06:58 |
| doug_ | frogscott: not rly u need to hit settings first | 06:58 |
| patifa | o0Chris0o, they aren't "supported" you'll have to get them out of the synaptic package manager | 06:59 |
| sc006 | doug_, yea your right know that I think about it | 06:59 |
| frogscott | doug u dont know where I am...it didnt work usser | 06:59 |
| o0Chris0o | ahhh | 06:59 |
| drivetrax | dhr, Java just released an upgrade | 06:59 |
| o0Chris0o | so not supported means not good? | 06:59 |
| patifa | o0Chris0o, no it just means it's not being maintained by Ubuntu community, but by whomever writes screenlets, for example. | 06:59 |
| usser | frogscott, are u sure that cdrom u made an iso of is bootable, did u ever try to boot from it? | 06:59 |
| frogscott | doug usser friends I am now looking at settings so now what doug? | 06:59 |
| doug_ | frogscott: lol yea uh i can read u hit settings then click on left sdie for cd/dvd and check the box other wise your cd/dvd drive wont be mounted in xp. | 06:59 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 06:59 |
| Lapinux | can someone tell me what i need to do to set up local mail? | 06:59 |
| dhr | when I start ff from a console and go to a java test page, logging appears on the console. Not good. Part says "Java Runtime Environment is not working on your system" in HTML, meant for console. But it didn't get there. | 07:00 |
| drivetrax | djhr - the java runtime needs updating | 07:00 |
| dhr | drivetrax: is java update in some testing place? | 07:00 |
| drivetrax | dhr, - update java runtime | 07:00 |
| frogscott | doug usser that was done previously | 07:01 |
| doug_ | sc006: the funny thing is i didnt have to reboot the whole comp. to pick the settings. | 07:01 |
| thebitguru | Hi, is there a way to change the labels from the default "Applications, Places, and System" menu in the main task bar? It is taking up way too much space | 07:01 |
| patifa | usser, you want to lead frogscott? I feel like I'm going to mess up steps if I speak up on the matter. | 07:01 |
| frogscott | it is set as mounted to cd/dvd and the iso is selected | 07:01 |
| drivetrax | dhr, - go to sun microsystems.. | 07:01 |
| frogscott | and I already ran it that way and it doesnt work and yes it is bootable cd | 07:01 |
| kuahara | this drive is really pissing me off | 07:02 |
| usser | frogscott, i dont know, pop in the cd and in that same cd\dvd rom check mount physical drive | 07:02 |
| volk | Ubuntu developers should really pay greater attention when releasing new kernel updates. Every time a new update comes, something stops working.. | 07:02 |
| usser | frogscott, host cd\dvd drive sorry | 07:02 |
| duse| | how do i set the default system font size now? the resolution is good (my screen isnt fuzzy) but font size shud be smaller? | 07:02 |
| kuahara | Windows XP Professional - Setup was unable to format the partition. This disk may be damaged (its not). | 07:03 |
| dhr | drivetrax: no ubuntu packaging yet? I'm acting like an ignorant user -- I never got anything from Sun so it seems wrong to get an update from them. | 07:03 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: yes | 07:03 |
| marupa | duse|, system->preferences- | 07:03 |
| kuahara | From another drive, I can point at this drive and format it. I just did 10 minutes ago. Windows setup can not. | 07:03 |
| marupa | appearance | 07:03 |
| patifa | usser, is his hard drive set up properly? | 07:03 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: there is a way you can | 07:03 |
| drivetrax | dhr, synaptic got Java there? | 07:03 |
| kuahara | wtf | 07:03 |
| usser | patifa, i dont know | 07:03 |
| frogscott | uh usser my virtual box we created is powered off so? does it need ot be powered on? | 07:03 |
| thebitguru | doug_: can you please give me some info? | 07:03 |
| === john__ is now known as Starz | ||
| usser | frogscott, no change the cd\dvd rom setting to host cd\dvd and then power on | 07:04 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: i was actually about to see my self ok right click on system edit menu | 07:04 |
| kuahara | zcat are you still around | 07:04 |
| dhr | drivetrax: I don't know where java came from. Probably when I said "yes" to firefox plugin installation offer. | 07:04 |
| frogscott | um whjere is that menu? man this is rediculous | 07:04 |
| drivetrax | dhr -- it is part of installing linus | 07:05 |
| kuahara | <---willing to pay someone, anyone for help with this | 07:05 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: then click on applications on the far left then click new menu then name it | 07:05 |
| patifa | kuahara, I'll try to help, though I don't need your money. | 07:05 |
| usser | frogscott, main virtualbox windows on the right | 07:05 |
| marupa | kuahara, what was the issue? | 07:05 |
| skurakai | i have problem with official ATI driver for unix. If i start game (eg. SuperTuxKart) all is very slow and on screen blink black line. I try first method on http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide . Can you help me? | 07:05 |
| drivetrax | dhr - but you need a new runtime for java, and it just updated me in XP a day ago | 07:05 |
| frogscott | I got it now how to power on? | 07:05 |
| usser | frogscott, click on cd\dvd-rom, its the same menu where u changed iso | 07:05 |
| usser | frogscott, yea try it | 07:05 |
| pschulz01 | I am trying ot connect to an smb drive and keep getting 'smb:..' unknown file type, in nautilus | 07:05 |
| ccaic | can i use vmware in linux ? | 07:05 |
| pschulz01 | This is an upgrade. | 07:05 |
| kuahara | zcat helped me recreate a ntfs partition earlier in ubuntu. All of my data is there. The problem is, on a different partition, I need to install Windows XP and access that data from the windows console | 07:06 |
| usser | frogscott, just tell me exactly what it says | 07:06 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: nvm wait a min i know there is i done it whole ago let me tinker with it. | 07:06 |
| frogscott | arGHGHGHGH CHarlie Borwn ok | 07:06 |
| thebitguru | doug_: but I don't need to create new entries. I would like to trim the labels :-/ | 07:06 |
| usser | ccaic, sure its a bit quirky on hardy though at the moment | 07:06 |
| kuahara | I attached a secondary hard drive to my comp, this one has windows on it already. When I attempt to explore/browse the other drive (the one where this partition is), it gives me access denied errors | 07:06 |
| frogscott | the floppy disk is not mounted oh no | 07:06 |
| patifa | kuahara, so let me get this straight. All your data is on an NTFS partition, and you want to install XP onto another partition and access data from the original NTFS partition? | 07:06 |
| usser | frogscott, thats alright | 07:07 |
| kuahara | I also can not install windows on the partition of the original drive because windows can't format it and thinks the disk is damaged | 07:07 |
| ccaic | which virtual software is faster? and the best choice? | 07:07 |
| kuahara | correct patifa | 07:07 |
| frogscott | lol ubuntu xp1 powered off | 07:07 |
| frogscott | I know its alright | 07:07 |
| tiksan | hello | 07:07 |
| usser | frogscott, it just powers off? | 07:07 |
| frogscott | its godo to go man I need to hit start I think | 07:07 |
| usser | frogscott, on itself? | 07:07 |
| kuahara | this morning before I decided to remove XP x64, I was able to access this secondary partition where all my data is backed up just fine | 07:07 |
| frogscott | how do u frigign power it on to begin with usser? | 07:08 |
| dhr | drivetrax: my update thingee just now said that there are 44 updates (I asked synaptic to "reload"). None of the updates appear to be java-related. | 07:08 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: ok right click ont he apps system and hit delete from panal | 07:08 |
| frogscott | hit start | 07:08 |
| kuahara | I removed XP x64 in order to install the 32 bit version of XP back on that partition | 07:08 |
| usser | frogscott, press start yes | 07:08 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: then right click and click add to panal | 07:08 |
| patifa | kuahara what's running right now? | 07:08 |
| kuahara | the trouble came in when I popped in the windows disk, ran windows setup, selected the partition XP x64 was on, deleted it, then went to go reformat it for xp 32bit | 07:08 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: then look for main menu add to panel | 07:08 |
| thebitguru | doug_: ah, nice :) | 07:08 |
| drivetrax | dhr, well... get java.. runtime, don't just let ubuntu choose | 07:08 |
| kuahara | however, something very very strange happened when I deleted the XP x64 partition | 07:08 |
| thebitguru | that's exactly what I was looking for | 07:08 |
| thebitguru | doug_: thanks! | 07:08 |
| usser | ccaic, kvm would probably be the fastest on linux, its not trivial to setup though, virtualbox is easiest to setup and vmware is proprietary with business support | 07:08 |
| kuahara | it was 127ish GB before I deleted it | 07:09 |
| kuahara | it was 8MB after | 07:09 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: im actually goin to do that to mine now as well lol | 07:09 |
| frogscott | usser yeah! : VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. | 07:09 |
| kelvin911 | terminal freezes | 07:09 |
| kelvin911 | volume freezes | 07:09 |
| usser | frogscott, oh man lol | 07:09 |
| kelvin911 | what is that? | 07:09 |
| xim | is it normal for beagled-helper to be using lots of processor all the time | 07:09 |
| kuahara | after zcat helped me, the partitions are the correct size again, but they can not be formatted | 07:09 |
| frogscott | synaptic package manager? | 07:09 |
| thebitguru | doug_: :) I am running on a tablet with 1024x768 and that was taking way too much space :) | 07:09 |
| patifa | usser, dang that sucks | 07:09 |
| frogscott | istall it? | 07:09 |
| kuahara | windows setup tells me the disk is damaged if I try to format | 07:09 |
| usser | frogscott, do that sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic | 07:09 |
| kuahara | its not damaged. The partition table is probably all jacked up | 07:09 |
| kuahara | Ubuntu can read the partitions just fine though | 07:10 |
| frogscott | this sucks u people are so smart we need 50 to screw in a bulb but man what bulb | 07:10 |
| usser | frogscott, thats gotta fix it | 07:10 |
| doug_ | thebitguru: lol same here. i just never rly botherd with messing with it | 07:10 |
| frogscott | lol just kidding thanks alot | 07:10 |
| usser | frogscott, restart virtualbox after it finishes | 07:10 |
| kuahara | only the microsoft OS's can not | 07:10 |
| ccaic | usser ,i c ,thx.. | 07:10 |
| dmibnmg | Morning! | 07:10 |
| kuahara | how do I fix this | 07:10 |
| doug_ | sc006: have u seen OmegaNine is he still here or did he reboot yet? | 07:10 |
| frogscott | usser ok im on it will let u know in a sec | 07:11 |
| usser | ccaic, given a choice i'd go with virtualbox speedwise it beats vmware but slower than kvm | 07:11 |
| david__-- | hello,I have a simple question,I just downloaded the Firefox 3 beta 5 version and was wondering if someone could guide me to make a shortcut to it on desktop and main menu also making it so that it updates auto | 07:11 |
| patifa | kuahara, I got a few ideas on this. But I worry a partition repair might damage useful partitions. | 07:11 |
| Sturmeh | kuahara you need windows to read linux parititions? | 07:11 |
| dhr | drivetrax: thanks for your help. I'm not willing to damage things installed via .debs by replacing them without a .deb | 07:11 |
| kuahara | sturmeh, no. Please reread everything I said | 07:12 |
| doug_ | david__--: i can help you | 07:12 |
| Sturmeh | haven't been here kuahara | 07:12 |
| frogscott | ya boy loading usser | 07:12 |
| patifa | Sturmeh, Windows installer refuses to recognize HD, Ubuntu reads it. Need a partition repair from Ubuntu. | 07:12 |
| david__-- | doug_thank you | 07:12 |
| doug_ | david__--: click on the desktop right click and hit create launcher | 07:12 |
| usser | frogscott, ok let it finish | 07:12 |
| patifa | or, rather, Sturmeh, it can't create a partition for installing windows due to unspecified partition errors | 07:12 |
| kuahara | windows sees the partitions and their sizes | 07:12 |
| kuahara | but it can not format them | 07:12 |
| frogscott | ding ding..restart time | 07:12 |
| Sturmeh | i c | 07:12 |
| maxwell888 | My mouse gets stuck and I have to reboot to get it to work again. I am using Gutsy. Error message I see in the logs is USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd hald-addon-usb- | 07:12 |
| doug_ | david__--: then name it firefox then put this in the command firefox %u | 07:12 |
| Sturmeh | kuahara, and you want to format them or just fix them? | 07:13 |
| usser | frogscott, restart virtualbox not the whole system | 07:13 |
| fxj1 | night all. | 07:13 |
| ccaic | usser, O? kvm is the best? | 07:13 |
| patifa | kuahara, load up gparted in Ubuntu, if you could | 07:13 |
| david__-- | doug_:ok,is that all? | 07:13 |
| kuahara | I'll explain what I want. What I want might not be possible, but I will settle for a completely formatted HDD that is repartitionable | 07:13 |
| usser | ccaic, in terms of speed yes | 07:13 |
| frogscott | usser ahah ahah ha hhah hah h oh man | 07:13 |
| doug_ | david__--: for the browser on the desktop yes. | 07:13 |
| frogscott | The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. | 07:13 |
| kuahara | I want a 30GB partition formatted to install Ubuntu on | 07:14 |
| usser | frogscott, right that was expected | 07:14 |
| drivetrax | dhr -- synaptic > choose Origins... select multiverse websites | 07:14 |
| kuahara | I want a 90ish GB partition to install 32bit windows xp pro on | 07:14 |
| drivetrax | dhr -- filename is JRExxxx | 07:14 |
| dmibnmg | After installing my Ubuntu 64 Server,, everything work fine, until after a reboot my machine complains that my image is not initramfs, considers it to be initrd and stops after that - Any hints highly welcome... | 07:14 |
| kuahara | and I want the existing 130GB partition with all my data backups on it to be left alone and accessible by windows xp | 07:14 |
| doug_ | david__--: click on it and does it pop up? | 07:14 |
| usser | frogscott, do that sudo gpasswd -a `whoami` vboxusers | 07:14 |
| ccaic | usser, but for other aspect? | 07:14 |
| kelvin911 | hey anyone got problem using hardy? | 07:14 |
| usser | frogscott, after that log out and log back in | 07:14 |
| kelvin911 | program randomly crashes | 07:14 |
| drivetrax | dhr -- to be exact .. filename is j2re1.4 | 07:14 |
| david__-- | doug_:yes,but as version 2 still | 07:14 |
| dhr | drivetrax: thanks! I'll look at that when update manager has stopped. | 07:15 |
| doug_ | kelvin911: hardy is a 100% stable should not rly have any probs. | 07:15 |
| kuahara | now, if I have to forego that and lose all my wife's pics/videos etc... of our 15 month old daughter (which she is really upset about), I will settle for putting my hdd back to a point where I can format the whole thing and recreate those partitions | 07:15 |
| usser | ccaic, its a pain in the * to install and configure | 07:15 |
| kuahara | as of right now, Ubuntu can read the 130GB ntfs file storage partition | 07:15 |
| patifa | kuahara, got a LiveCD? | 07:15 |
| kuahara | and all the data on it | 07:15 |
| david__-- | doug_:I can get to 3 by typing in terminal ~/firefox/firefox | 07:15 |
| kuahara | patifa yes | 07:15 |
| kuahara | I just popped it in and chose to install ubuntu | 07:15 |
| doug_ | david__--: oh then hmm try removing the 2.0 | 07:15 |
| patifa | kuahara, is it the same computer which you're using for IRC? | 07:15 |
| usser | ccaic, you'd spend alot of time for a little speed gain | 07:15 |
| kuahara | I want to see if it is going to give me the option to format or create a new partition where XP x64 is | 07:15 |
| kuahara | no | 07:16 |
| kuahara | I am on the laptop in irc atm | 07:16 |

| kuahara | need to see what its about to do rq before I reboot and do that | 07:17 |
| usser | frogscott, yep | 07:17 |
| patifa | kuahara, it's whatever the top-most option is in the LiveCD startup is. | 07:17 |
| doug_ | david__--: to me it freezes up alot i guess i kinda push ti to the edge. | 07:17 |
| frogscott | out of what? | 07:17 |
| Xcell | shut the fuck up already ah? | 07:18 |

| doug_ | david__--: let me see if i can find you a guide to install 3 and get it running. | 07:18 |
| xim | what is beagled-helper? and is it normal for it to use 40-80 %CPU all the time? | 07:18 |
| david__-- | doug_:ok thanks,ive found one,but the way it said did not work,it only brought up version 2 again | 07:18 |
| usser | frogscott, out of ubuntu, system->quit->logout | 07:18 |
| kuahara | patifa, I told it to install ubuntu before. The gui for this is already loaded, although I haven't actually done an installation yet. Should I reboot and select the try me option? | 07:18 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Rebooted, still have the same low res options | 07:19 |
| patifa | kuahara, yes | 07:19 |
| frogscott | ok | 07:19 |
| kuahara | or can I just cancel install and use the basic features | 07:19 |
| dmibnmg | After installing my Ubuntu 64 Server,, everything work fine, until after a reboot my machine complains that my image is not initramfs, considers it to be initrd and stops after that - Any hints highly welcome... | 07:19 |
| kindofabuzz | is emerald theme manager broke? | 07:19 |
| patifa | kuahara, you can try cancel, but I don't think it'll let you use the system if you hit cancel. | 07:19 |
| ccaic | usser, what's the full name for kvx ? i just want to google and .. | 07:19 |
| doug_ | david__--: what distro u have gutsy or hardy? | 07:19 |
| kuahara | rebooted | 07:19 |
| reaxion | o/ everyone | 07:19 |
| usser | ccaic, its just that kvm | 07:19 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: go to system > programs>sreen resolution | 07:19 |
| kuahara | its going to take about 5 minutes for the system to load all the data off the disk and start the trial version of the os | 07:19 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: THere | 07:19 |
| usser | ccaic, or google for kernel virtual machine | 07:20 |
| david__-- | doug_:gutsy for about 15 more minutes,updating now as we speak...its taken 3 hours so far | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | dmibnmg, Can you boot into an older kernel? | 07:20 |
| patifa | usser, I really wish the package configuration for virtualbox OSE let you choose to add yourself to vbox users group. Makes it a pain otherwise. | 07:20 |
| patifa | :\ | 07:20 |
| patifa | kuahara, 5 minutes? :o | 07:20 |
| doug_ | david__--: try this http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/03/install-firefox-3-beta-5-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/ | 07:20 |
| patifa | That disk has got to have some serious problems, then. | 07:20 |
| kuahara | maybe not that long | 07:20 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: did u reboot or just restart X ? | 07:20 |
| kuahara | its reading the whole disk and copying it into memory or something | 07:20 |
| reaxion | Does anyone know of any fixes to get Wine running on 8.04 64-bit? I've run the fix from the Wine site for the first MB of memory, but Wine still won't open windows | 07:20 |
| OmegaNine | doug_: Reboot | 07:20 |
| kuahara | and it may have issues lol, I burned the cd with this laptop | 07:20 |
| kuahara | I question the integrity of this burner | 07:21 |
| drivetrax | kuahara, if that trial version (live cd) can boot, then you might access the drive that way? | 07:21 |
| david__-- | doug_:ok...another quick question,do you have gutsy or hardy and is hardy stable as of yet? | 07:21 |
| usser | patifa, yea that should've been done. really weird that its not there | 07:21 |
| doug_ | OmegaNine: meet me in room #wwed | 07:21 |
| doug_ | davidyes and hardy | 07:21 |
| kuahara | drivetax, I already established that I have access to that partition from within ubuntu live | 07:21 |
| doug_ | david yes and hardy | 07:21 |
| patifa | kuahara use the check CD options if you are having doubts. | 07:21 |
| david__-- | doug_:ok,thanks bro | 07:21 |
| kuahara | this is the 2nd copy I burned | 07:21 |
| patifa | kuahara, yeah that brings up the important question: Could you back up all the useful stuff off the NTFS partition onto another drive and we can just wipe the whole drive and copy everything back? | 07:22 |
| kuahara | while I had xp x64 installed, I attempted to resize existing partitions with partition magic. Which I am really feeling caused all these problems | 07:22 |
| kuahara | patifa, not unless there is a way for ubuntu to copy all of that data onto another hdd that is ntfs formated with windows xp pro already installed on it | 07:22 |
| === akoli31 is now known as zvacet | ||
| kuahara | a lot of it is already backed up on my shared hosting server | 07:23 |
| dhr | patifa: I'm not sure that this is relevant, but I just played with ntfsclone (part of ntfsprogs) today and was impressed. | 07:23 |
| kelvin911 | i restarts my computer, everything works again | 07:23 |
| kuahara | I have 1.5TB of online storage, but my upload speed is like 75k/s | 07:23 |
| reaxion | Does anyone know of any fixes to get Wine running on 8.04 64-bit? I've run the fix from the Wine site for the first MB of memory, but Wine still won't open windows | 07:23 |
| patifa | kuahara, how much spare HD space do you have that isn't part of the drive that has issues? | 07:23 |
| kuahara | on the ide drive in my wife's computer? lemme check rq | 07:24 |
| kuahara | she has 35GB of free space | 07:24 |
| kuahara | there is 80GB of data on that hosed partition | 07:24 |
| kuahara | I don't need to keep a lot of it | 07:25 |
| kuahara | movies and music can all go away | 07:25 |
| kuahara | those can be redownloaded/ripped, etc... | 07:25 |
| drivetrax | kuahara, can you boot XP? | 07:25 |
| patifa | kuahara, well let's back up all the important stuff (baby pics and whatnot) right now, using the livecd. | 07:26 |
| xim | reaxion? Does wine have issues not work in hardy 64? i was thinking of upgrading to hardy, im in gutsy 64 but i dont know what the issues would be | 07:26 |

| usser | !iso | 07:29 |
| patifa | kuahara, can you run fdisk on the drive to see what's in it? | 07:29 |
| 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. | 07:29 |

| LimeGreenChia | did something change with hardy? I upgraded an older computer that has a tnt2 video card and with gutsy I had the legacy driver, but now it doesn't show that I have the driver. I removed it and reinstalled it, but it doesn't show up in the hardware menu. | 07:30 |
| patifa | kuahara, then "fdisk /dev/sda" probably | 07:30 |
| kuahara | unable to open /dev/sda | 07:30 |

| Ashvala | but do fdisk -l as root | 07:32 |
| LimeGreenChia | where did you find the workaround? its getting old use a 800x600 desktop | 07:32 |
| kuahara | The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30401. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024 and could in certain setups cause problems with software that runs at boot time or booting and partitioning software from other os's | 07:32 |
| patifa | Thanks Ashvala, was really trying to remember that command | 07:32 |
| dhr | drivetrax: for the sake of expediency, I booted Vista (essentially unused), installed firefox, and Java just worked. How sad. | 07:32 |

| kuahara | zcat helped me create the partition and mount it to a folder we created earlier. I assumed that was written to disk since I gave it a w to write | 07:37 |
| Flip2405 | djhash if you can please pm me in this regard i cant see with all the spam | 07:37 |

| usser | Flip2405, yea sure when your pc starts booting keep hitting ESC, this will get your into bootloader, on the first line press 'e' press 'e' again on the third/long line and delete splash after its done press 'b' to boot | 07:37 |
| kuahara | I am going to go through all the steps we took earlier to make that partition readable again | 07:37 |

| kuahara | I'm a linux noob | 07:40 |

| kuahara | when I ls that folder though, it says the only folder there is one called "system volume information" | 07:41 |
| kuahara | but it does not let me cd into that folder | 07:42 |

| shiesty | lol | 08:14 |
| marupa | kuahara, it can't be on .0, you have to assign it to a particular IP for your computer and statically assign that computer's IP address. | 08:14 |
| shiesty | eddie? | 08:14 |
| djhash | forward to the linux box ip address. 192.168.1.0 is probably your router | 08:14 |
| shiesty | sup fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 08:14 |

| sc006 | electricsh33p, there is a icon of two computers in the upper right hand corner of your desktop, right click it unselected networking | 08:17 |
| mistiipu | i just got a crossover connection for a pc (for internet sharing) got working. i just change the other pc by an other and it stoped working. it says a network cable is unpluged. why is that so? | 08:17 |
| drivetrax | IanClark, take the Blank CD to a new Burner. | 08:17 |

| kuahara | I have nfc how to use this os | 08:18 |
| shiesty | what virtual machine did u get? | 08:18 |
| marupa | cuonglb, best is just not to have the programs running. | 08:18 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: when the weather is Mist, i dont have the icon for it | 08:18 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: you mean a different burning app? or to a different drive (?) | 08:18 |

| kuahara | marupa, don't mind at all | 08:19 |
| vylinx | thankx marupa | 08:19 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 you'll need a way to back up your /home if you have lots of stuff you wanna keep in there, an external or extra internal hdd would be the best candidate | 08:19 |

| kelvin911 | starcannon: because the font is fat and ugly in hardy | 08:19 |
| marupa | vylinx, Not pulling an IP from your router? | 08:20 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: i have to install kcontrol to change the font | 08:20 |
| kelvin911 | Starnestommy: i dont know why | 08:20 |
| vylinx | no all is 0.0.0 | 08:20 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 I don't know, I kept my home directory and so I kept my local usr settings, so my look and feel is hardly changed at all | 08:20 |
| kelvin911 | Starnestommy: i am not using kubunut | 08:20 |
| drivetrax | IanClark, You can install Gutsy, or Hardy from the internet | 08:20 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: but the san font hardy uses is different | 08:21 |
| marupa | vylinx, what IP are other computers on your router pulling? | 08:21 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: specially if it is bold | 08:21 |
| mosno | is security.ubuntu.com down for apt? | 08:21 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: it is like 3 times thicker | 08:21 |
| marupa | mosno, no, just laggy. 2 minutes about. | 08:21 |
| vylinx | 192.168.1.6 etc | 08:21 |
| marupa | vylinx, statically set? | 08:21 |
| mosno | marupa: ok. aptitude times out. | 08:21 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: I just want hardy to see my blank CD in the first place | 08:21 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: i have to change the font to dejavu san | 08:21 |
| shiesty | brb | 08:21 |
| marupa | mosno, try again? it happens when a new distro comes out. | 08:21 |
| vylinx | i rearranged interfaces | 08:22 |
| mosno | marupa: bummer | 08:22 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: but many app still shows ugly fat san | 08:22 |
| kuahara | marupa? | 08:22 |
| H264 | mosno: you might want to switch to a different server anyway... I'm using a local server... much faster | 08:22 |
| marupa | vylinx, try statically assigning your computer's IP. | 08:22 |
| drivetrax | IanClark, - is the drive listed in devices.. hardware information | 08:22 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: and i have to install kcontrol to change them, dont know why? | 08:22 |
| mosno | H264: a local server for SECURITY updates? | 08:22 |
| marupa | kuahara, I PM'd you. are you reigstered/identified? | 08:22 |
| kelvin911 | any expert here? | 08:22 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: I'll take a look | 08:22 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 i'm using arial font /shrug | 08:22 |
| marupa | kelvin911, what question? | 08:22 |
| vylinx | i tried it but not connects | 08:22 |
| H264 | mosno: lol... local as in a server closer to you | 08:22 |
| kuahara | I am not registered | 08:23 |
| marupa | vylinx, try another network cable. | 08:23 |
| djhash | !register | kuahara | 08:23 |

| marupa | kuahara, register so you can get PMs. it's free, and quick. | 08:23 |
| kelvin911 | why changing the font in appearance dont change all the font in some app? | 08:23 |
| vylinx | i tried it at home n office | 08:23 |
| mosno | H264: back in Debian there was Only one security server. i didn't realise ubuntu did things differently | 08:23 |
| marupa | kelvin911, KDE vs Gnome? | 08:23 |
| kelvin911 | like opera, k3b, terminal, etc | 08:23 |
| djhash | kuahara: type /msg nickserve register password | 08:23 |
| kuahara | I have no idea how to register | 08:23 |
| Jambon | why won't ubuntu show my camera in the file browser? | 08:23 |
| kuahara | ok | 08:23 |
| djhash | kuahara: type /msg nickserv register password | 08:23 |
| marupa | kelvin911, kde's themes aren't the same as gnome's themes. | 08:23 |
| mistiipu | how to clear arp. do i need that? | 08:23 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| H264 | mosno: let me check to make sure | 08:23 |
| shiesty | EDDIEEE | 08:23 |
| vylinx | and many people have this weird problem | 08:23 |
| groundzero | YO shiesty Join #back | 08:24 |
| shiesty | GROUNDZERO U THI | 08:24 |
| kuahara | it set my mode to +e | 08:24 |
| marupa | vylinx, never had that issue. | 08:24 |
| kuahara | I guess that means I am registered? | 08:24 |
| vylinx | no ip on eth0 | 08:24 |
| shiesty | ya i was gonna tell u to join another channel | 08:24 |
| kelvin911 | why ubuntu dont come with kde theme control? | 08:24 |
| shiesty | ill do that 1 | 08:24 |
| marupa | vylinx, try another ethernet cable? | 08:24 |
| raket | hey folks, my laptop won't recognize the livecd of Kubuntu, although the CD works in other computers. Is there a way to boot into it? under windows there was a nice option to add Kubuntu as a choice of OS in the F8 menu through Smart Boot Manager.. is there something similar under Kubuntu? | 08:24 |
| djhash | kuahara: yes you are.. | 08:24 |
| kelvin911 | or the appearance dont over ride the kde theme? | 08:24 |
| marupa | kelvin911, cause gnome is more popular. | 08:24 |
| starcannon | kelvin did you use kubuntu or just ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| vylinx | but gutsy connects with that cables | 08:24 |
| marupa | kelvin911, and because kde isn't gnome. | 08:24 |
| groundzero | shiesty /join #back | 08:24 |
| shiesty | #back | 08:24 |
| kelvin911 | but why terminal's font can't be change in gnome ?? | 08:24 |
| marupa | vylinx, could be IPv6. | 08:24 |
| kelvin911 | is terminal kde app? | 08:25 |
| vylinx | i lost my many times on this issue | 08:25 |
| babolat | Jambon: why would u look for your camera in file browser? | 08:25 |
| kuahara | marupa do I put my actual IP in the IP address field in network settings or the 192.168.1.100 address? | 08:25 |
| marupa | kelvin911, gnome-terminal isn't. | 08:25 |
| shiesty | ight i am in their | 08:25 |
| vylinx | i did blacklist it too | 08:25 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: what do u mean/ | 08:25 |
| Jambon | babolat: CHDK | 08:25 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: changing the font in appearance can't change the font terminal uses | 08:25 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 terminal fonts can be changed in gnome, in any dm actually, just have to run through a different rat maze depending on the desktop you like/run | 08:25 |
| marupa | kuahara, put something in there. .101, .99, whatever. Probably below 100 so it doesn't try to assign it somewhere else. | 08:25 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: i have to change the font in kcontrol to change the font in terminal | 08:26 |
| Jambon | babolat: also, I like managing photos like that. f-spot is slow | 08:26 |
| H264 | mosno: yeah, the server here in my town has security updates... | 08:26 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: what? | 08:26 |
| marupa | kelvin911, use gnome-terminal. | 08:26 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: is the terminal i am using noe gnome - terminal? | 08:26 |
| H264 | mosno: deb http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ hardy-security universe | 08:26 |
| kelvin911 | not* | 08:26 |
| vylinx | i tried battery pulling out too lol | 08:26 |
| frogscott | XDS2010 u there? | 08:26 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 in gnome terminal click edit --> current profile then mod till your content | 08:26 |
| Jambon | babolat: I want to install a firmware update on it and I can't do that without being able to see the filesystem on the card | 08:26 |
| kuahara | what should I enter for the gateway address | 08:27 |
| marupa | kelvin911, hit alt+f2, and type in gnome-terminal, and if it's different, then no, you weren't using gnome-terminal | 08:27 |
| marupa | kuahara, .1 | 08:27 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: I can't seem to find it in Hardy | 08:27 |
| mosno | H264: is that on wiki.ubuntu.com or something | 08:27 |
| XDS2010 | frogscott: YUP | 08:27 |
| djhash | 255.255.255.0 (or just click on it then tab out of it..) | 08:27 |
| drivetrax | IanClark, system - preferences - hardware information (i think) | 08:27 |
| marupa | djhash, that's subnet mask. | 08:27 |
| XDS2010 | <~ is here , all is well :) :P | 08:27 |
| frogscott | look in private | 08:27 |
| babolat | Jambon: more likely hardware problem. would it make a difference if u used a card reader instead of ur camera? coz that would save ur system a lot time and you effort. if you're trying to load unload photos.. as to firmware, what exactly is your cam? | 08:27 |
| djhash | oops... DOH!!!!! | 08:27 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: it is the same | 08:27 |
| H264 | mosno: no... well, maybe, I just selected the OSUOSL server from the servers list | 08:28 |
| kuahara | marupa, I did all that and lost my net connection | 08:28 |
| marupa | kuahara, make sure it's something like: | 08:28 |
| Jambon | babolat: canon a620 | 08:28 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: but the font didnt change | 08:28 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: it was there in 7.10 | 08:28 |
| marupa | ip: 192.168.1.99, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.1.1 | 08:28 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: i have to change the font in kcontrol to make the font in terminal looks normal again | 08:28 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: but it's not there now. I see nothing of the sort :S | 08:28 |
| H264 | mosno: I checked my sources.list to make sure that everything was indeed coming from the server I thought it was coming from | 08:28 |
| marupa | kelvin911, go into the terminal settings, and change it there. | 08:29 |
| XDS2010 | frogscott: did you identify ? , no message from you :) | 08:29 |
| kuahara | changed it from 100 to 99 and it worked | 08:29 |
| mosno | H264: i mean i need to verify that its official | 08:29 |
| marupa | kuahara, now do the port forward to 192.168.1.99 | 08:29 |
| === death_dress is now known as pHYnd_niEz_cEw_^ | ||
| kelvin911 | marupa: i try, it is still ugly unless i change the font in kcontrol from "sans" to "dejavu sans" | 08:29 |
| kuahara | offtopic: did you know that mcafee has no personal (or business) firewall solutions for 64 bit operating systems | 08:29 |
| marupa | kelvin911, go to edit, current profile, then change it from 'use the system fixed width font' to something you like. | 08:30 |
| H264 | mosno: well... you could use the same server I'm using... OSU is the university, I know several of the people that run the servers... | 08:30 |
| kuahara | marupa saved | 08:30 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: i did try that also | 08:30 |
| mistiipu | what i think now is that. my pc. server. has saved some settings related to the old pc. and when i try to connect the new pc with same wire but (new pc has different lan card) it dont allows it? | 08:30 |
| mosno | H264: ok thanks | 08:30 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: would a lspci command work here? | 08:30 |
| marupa | kuahara, what was the IP again? PM please. | 08:31 |
| casdf | hello; im working on installing ubuntu on a lenovo r61i, trying to dual boot it with vista | 08:31 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: i try to change it to dejavu sans in terminal current profile but it is still fat and ugly | 08:31 |
| marupa | kelvin911, mine changes, so...dunno. Is this a fresh install or an upgrade? | 08:31 |
| H264 | mosno: and for officialness, its as official as official gets | 08:31 |
| H264 | heh | 08:31 |
| Jambon | babolat: I don't understand what you mean by hardware problem. it works fine in windows | 08:31 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: i change the font in kcontrol then terminal font become thinner and readable | 08:31 |
| casdf | there's a lenovo recovery partition, the vista partition, and the new ext3 and swap partitions that ubuntu is creating. will a bootloader mess up my ability to use the recovery partition? | 08:31 |
| H264 | styles!!? | 08:31 |
| choudesh | Anyone know how to setup SNMP? | 08:31 |
| kelvin911 | mine is upgrade through autoupdate | 08:31 |
| styles | H264: yes? | 08:32 |
| marupa | kelvin911, may have a glitch from updates. I'd try fresh install. | 08:32 |
| H264 | styles: do I know you? | 08:32 |
| styles | H264: no | 08:32 |
| kuahara | marupa done | 08:32 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: does your hardy take longer to load the desktop? | 08:32 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: mine takes extra 10 more seconds to load | 08:32 |
| marupa | kelvin911, nope. faster. | 08:32 |
| mosno | choudesh: you need to do a lot of reading for that | 08:32 |
| choudesh | mosno, I have. | 08:33 |
| marupa | kuahara, responding. | 08:33 |
| H264 | styles: hmm... ok, because I knew a guy with the nick styles here on IRC | 08:33 |
| kuahara | ok | 08:33 |
| starcannon | casdf i preserved the recovery partition on this hp laptop, it even shows up in grub, presumably I could turn this back into a windows laptop, but I've never tried that so I have no idea if it would work or not, I only kept it just in case I ever sell this thing on ebay when I'm done with it | 08:33 |

| casdf | starcannon: did you install the bootloader from the ubuntu install though? | 08:33 |
| marupa | kuahara, maybe add one for me? | 08:33 |
| choudesh | mosno, In my snmpd.conf file I have the interfaces added that I want to grab statictics from. I can do this with IPTABLES but I want to use SNMP on this server. When I "snmpwalk" through the interfaces...I get end of MIBs | 08:34 |
| casdf | starcannon: because i fear that may prevent usage of the recovery software | 08:34 |
| starcannon | xiongchiamiov add "nvidia" without the quotes to your /etc/modules list | 08:34 |

| kelvin911 | marupa: feels like i am using windows again | 08:34 |
| Ashvala | @Kuahara No | 08:34 |
| marupa | kelvin911, it's buggy, and messy. For some it works, for some it's buggy. | 08:34 |
| frogscott | Private | 08:35 |
| kuahara | ? | 08:35 |
| babolat | Jambon: u'll probably want to update firmware from Windows, coz from what i'm reading it aint easy | 08:35 |
| kelvin911 | so piss now i dont wanna fresh reinstall now | 08:35 |
| XDS2010 | frogscott: go to #CO1 | 08:35 |
| kuahara | ashvala ? | 08:35 |
| casdf | starcannon: and if i don't install the bootloader, how will i load up ubuntu on boot? | 08:35 |
| XDS2010 | ill have a look at your current issues | 08:35 |
| XDS2010 | ...there | 08:35 |
| mosno | choudesh: dunno man, worked for me first time. good luck | 08:35 |
| marupa | ok, in PM, kuahara, can you explain just what's going on that you need to do? | 08:35 |
| mosno | choudesh: maybe you install the MIB files separately | 08:35 |
| Jambon | babolat: it's ok. I cheated and used the computer's card reader | 08:35 |
| kelvin911 | marupa: maybe wait until it is unusable like crashes everyday then i will try reininstall | 08:36 |
| zvacet | kelvin911 : maybe updates will take care of that | 08:36 |
| starcannon | casdf I did a full install of Ubuntu as soon as the laptop arrived by fedex, never even booted it into windows, during the install process I chose manual during the partitioning portion, and made sure to NOT delete or format the recovery partition, not sure if that answers your question but thats how I did it, I don't know if the recovery partition works or not, I will only try it when the computer is no longer useful to me | 08:36 |
| kelvin911 | zvacet: when? | 08:36 |
| kelvin911 | zvacet: when is the next update? | 08:36 |
| marupa | kelvin911, whenever. | 08:36 |
| kelvin911 | zvacet: my hardy is kinda feel like win98 | 08:36 |
| babolat | Jambon: so took the advice after all.. lol.. it's really much simpler. things would be better if these darn manufacturers started supporting opensource | 08:36 |
| frogscott | XDS im there how to login? | 08:36 |
| kelvin911 | volume control will freezes and no sound randomly | 08:37 |
| zvacet | kelvin911 : I don´t know,but whenever new release is out you have to wait some time to be fixed | 08:37 |
| zimnyx | Is there alternative server for security.ubuntu.com ? I can't connect to it for some time... | 08:37 |
| casdf | starcannon: ok, thanks a lot. i'm gonna give it a try without the bootloader; worst case, i can set up the boot cmd under windows | 08:37 |

| kelvin911 | how to check it manually? | 08:38 |
| jescis | kelvin911: only gnome has two aplet bars, windows only has one task bar ;) | 08:38 |
| marupa | sriramoman, then shut it down? | 08:38 |
| sriramoman | kelvin911, Click check updates in update manager. | 08:38 |

| sriramoman | marupa, doesnt help, as the cache is backed up in a folder "cache backup" if u make the .mozila folder smaller than 75 MB through manual deletion of files or total deletion of .mozilla (ouch0 it becomes completely responsive as new. | 08:41 |
| kelvin911 | when i was in gutsy nothing went wrong | 08:42 |
| kijoko | i use gutsy before, and there's no problem with suspend/hibernate | 08:42 |

| kelvin911 | now every once a while hardy fcuked up | 08:42 |
| zimnyx | kelvin911: you;re askjing to general questuionbs.... try forum | 08:42 |

| kelvin911 | thats why i move from xp to ubuntu | 08:43 |
| sriramoman | marupa, yes. i noticed in synaptic just now. Funny, right they install at least one beta software by default in each ver. of ubuntu ( in gutsy gimp was by default a beta one) | 08:44 |
| drivetrax | kelvin911, - you moved to linux because of Windows | 08:44 |

| vick1 | I have a peculiar problem. I tried installing limewire from the installation package i downloaded from their website. while it was installing my laptop froze and since then, i keep trying to reinstall it but an error saying "i can only run 1 package installer at a time" always pops up now | 08:44 |
| vick1 | if anyone has time, i would appreciate the help =) | 08:44 |
| kelvin911 | but hardy crashes 3 or 4 times for past 7 days | 08:44 |
| raziel | does anyone knows how to make my creative 7.1 speakers to work with my Audigy7.1 sound card? cos i get sound only from the front speakers | 08:44 |
| kuahara | vick1, how is your cpu doing | 08:45 |
| stv_ubun | hi kevin | 08:45 |
| mrpouet | hi | 08:45 |
| starcannon | nano_ yes, I recommend getting it from the avant site though (google it) because unless its changed there are no extras in the ubuntu repositories | 08:45 |
| stv_ubun | can u help me out? | 08:45 |
| vick1 | lol as long as i ONLY surf the web | 08:45 |
| vick1 | or use pidgeon | 08:45 |
| vick1 | it doesnt over heat | 08:45 |
| kuahara | vick1 | 08:45 |
| nano_ | starcannon: thnx | 08:45 |
| kuahara | what temp is it atm | 08:45 |
| vick1 | how do i check? | 08:45 |
| kelvin911 | nano_: dont install the awn from ubuntu repos | 08:45 |
| nano_ | starcannon: can the same thing be accomplished via compiz plugin | 08:45 |
| kelvin911 | nano_: that one sucks | 08:45 |
| sriramoman | vick1, i think the limewire they give installs thru wine, like google picasa. and that ver. of limew. may not have been stable in wine? | 08:45 |
| nano_ | thnx | 08:45 |
| stv_ubun | hi starcannon | 08:45 |
| starcannon | vick1 have you done a full reboot since then and tried again? | 08:45 |
| kuahara | can check in the bios, or if its an intel chip on an asus board you can use asus pc probe II, or cpu-z, etc... | 08:45 |
| stv_ubun | i hv been stuck for the past 10 hours | 08:46 |
| sriramoman | vick1, pls dont use enter as a puctuation mark. | 08:46 |
| vick1 | yes i've done a full reboot | 08:46 |
| kuahara | if that cpu runs as hot as you're saying it is, then its only going to last a few weeks or months at best | 08:46 |
| stv_ubun | trying to get my screen res back | 08:46 |
| kelvin911 | nano_: goto #awn the guys there will help u to get the latest awn | 08:46 |
| starcannon | nano_ compiz won't give you the dock, but it will allow you to run the dock | 08:46 |
| starcannon | hey stv_ubun | 08:46 |
| kuahara | you need a better cooling solution than you have | 08:46 |
| drivetrax | stv_ubun, is low-res | 08:46 |

| nahedy | hi every one i have problem with debconf, i want before installing my debian questions to ask it before. while creating my debian package i added debian/config and debian/templates which allows me to ask questions. but when i do dpkg -i mypackage.deb it doesn't ask any questions. can u help me | 08:47 |
| vick1 | oh really? | 08:47 |
| stv_ubun | drivetrax i m a complete linux idiot | 08:47 |
| kuahara | your idle and load temps are going to be different, but not THAT different | 08:47 |
| starcannon | stv_ubun http://pastebin.com/f4d1facb2 follow it to the letter and you should be golden | 08:47 |
| kuahara | i.e. its not going to cool from 90c under load to a safe idle temp | 08:47 |
| stv_ubun | ok | 08:47 |
| kuahara | if you ever hit 90c you are running dangerously hot | 08:47 |
| kelvin911 | 90 degrees? | 08:48 |
| kuahara | I peronally don't like ever crossing 40c and with my lap, as5, and cnps9700, I idle at 27c | 08:48 |
| kelvin911 | wow | 08:48 |
| vick1 | kuahara, i dont know if it's actually at 90c? it's just that one line of text appeared on a black screen | 08:48 |
| vick1 | as linux started shutting down | 08:48 |
| kelvin911 | my cpu is about 30 degrees | 08:48 |
| kuahara | kelvin911, in farenheit, she is at 194 | 08:48 |
| vick1 | is there a way to check the bios for temp without restarting my cpu | 08:48 |
| kelvin911 | who uses F? | 08:48 |
| chazco | Hi... I was watching a video and playback stopped... checked the processes and evolution-data-server (i think) was using 100% CPU. Any ideas? Regretting upgrading to 8.04 with all these issues :( | 08:48 |
| kelvin911 | everyone talks in C | 08:48 |
| vick1 | americans use fahrenheit | 08:48 |
| kuahara | not me, just saying | 08:48 |
| kuahara | I am american, but yea | 08:49 |
| starcannon | lol 90c would be 194 degrees fahrenheit | 08:49 |
| kelvin911 | americans are stupid anyway | 08:49 |
| kuahara | vick1, any time we're talking cpu and/or gpu temps its in C | 08:49 |
| vick1 | oh okay thanks | 08:49 |
| kuahara | and 90C is fing insane | 08:49 |
| vick1 | lol | 08:49 |
| kelvin911 | who uses F and miles? | 08:49 |
| kelvin911 | r they dumb or something? | 08:49 |
| vick1 | actually my cpu's been overheating for a year now... and only recently did i switch to linux and i finally knew how bad it was | 08:49 |
| starcannon | kuahara if it were a laptop somebodied be havin a weenie roast ;P | 08:49 |
| ariqs | when i hit ctr-z in a terminal, the process stops, but it keeps taking up memory. how do I get rid of it altogether? | 08:49 |
| vick1 | windows xp never told me...it was overheating like linux does | 08:50 |
| kelvin911 | how to check CPU temp in ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| kuahara | vick1, most OS's don't | 08:50 |
| ApranaX | . | 08:50 |
| ApranaX | S.a | 08:50 |
| kelvin911 | i can only check cpu temp with asus probe in xp | 08:50 |
| kuahara | you have to check that yourself with a 3rd party app | 08:50 |
| * stv_ubun fainted looking at those lines drivetrax | 08:50 | |
| djhash | ariqs: use the kill command | 08:50 |
| kuahara | kelvin because you have an asus mobo | 08:50 |
| kuahara | I use that as well | 08:50 |
| kelvin911 | how to get those 3rd party software? | 08:50 |
| kuahara | 27C idle here and 33C under load. Thats with an E8400 overclocked to 3.6GHz from 3.0 | 08:50 |
| marupa | kuahara, they have probes in ubuntu | 08:51 |
| marupa | kuahara, I'm on asus, but I've got probes running right now. | 08:51 |
| kelvin911 | anal probe? | 08:51 |
| drivetrax | hahaha | 08:51 |
| kelvin911 | how to get the probe in ubuntu? | 08:51 |
| kuahara | kelvin, a probe talks to the thermal sensor on your mobo and/or cpu | 08:51 |
| marupa | kuahara, gkrellm | 08:51 |

| userlol | does hardy freeze up when using firefox3 for anyone else here? it happens to me constantly | 08:51 |
| Artemis3 | dermoth, please do | 08:52 |
| kelvin911 | seriously ubuntu need software like sandra pro in windows | 08:52 |
| dermoth | Artemis3, s/is/if/ | 08:52 |
| marupa | kelvin911, gkrellm | 08:52 |
| ApranaX | hahahah | 08:52 |
| kijoko | Daremonai: use gokii | 08:52 |
| ApranaX | :D | 08:52 |
| kuahara | kelvin, I was commenting because earlier she said that she wanted to disable thermtrip because her comp kept shutting off at 90c | 08:52 |
| kelvin911 | what? | 08:52 |
| kijoko | Daremonai: use gnokii | 08:52 |
| dermoth | Artemis3, look at /etc/sysctl.conf line 18 | 08:52 |
| djhash | Daremonai: have you checked to see if nokia has a linux version of the suite | 08:52 |
| kuahara | if she disables thermtrip there's a good chance its getting even hotter than that | 08:52 |
| marupa | kelvin911, use gkrellm for that sort of thing. | 08:52 |
| kelvin911 | gkrellm otr gokii? | 08:52 |
| kijoko | gnokii | 08:52 |
| Daremonai | kijoko: yeah i have the website open, but i was reading that it's still in development. | 08:52 |
| starcannon | userlol not here, I think FF3 is bloated and a bit slower than FF2 but no crashing and none of the other weird stuff thats been plaguing so many others, I did fresh clean install though | 08:52 |
| kuahara | kelvin911, ever bother checking your 3d mark scores? | 08:53 |
| Daremonai | djhash, they don't as far as i know | 08:53 |
| kelvin911 | yes | 08:53 |
| kelvin911 | how? | 08:53 |
| kuahara | I hit 15,195 in 3dMark06 | 08:53 |
| kuahara | 2x 9600GT in SLi | 08:53 |
| kelvin911 | i am not in windows now | 08:53 |
| zyx386 | how can i fix this error http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/212520/ ? | 08:53 |
| kelvin911 | i dont run those 3dmark no more | 08:53 |
| Artemis3 | dermoth, thats what im looking for, going to test :) | 08:53 |
| kelvin911 | i just run the games and see how it runs | 08:53 |
| dermoth | Artemis3, this relates to /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr | 08:53 |
| kelvin911 | usually 3dmark is not accuarate | 08:53 |
| starcannon | kuahara I have a 2x7950 gt in SLi hows those 9600's ? they sound sweet | 08:54 |
| Lapinux | anyone familiar with mdadm that can tell me the best way to make sure mdadm --monitor is always running? | 08:54 |
| dermoth | Artemis3, you can echo data directly to it, or use the sysctl utility to make it the default on bootup | 08:54 |
| kuahara | star, I need a 680i or better mobo because I am selling myself short | 08:54 |
| kelvin911 | so what is that software to check temp again? | 08:54 |
| kuahara | the memory controller on the asus p5n-e 650i board sucks nuts | 08:54 |
| kelvin911 | gknkill? | 08:54 |
| starcannon | nod bottlenecks suck | 08:54 |
| kuahara | can't handle 4 dimms of anything and 2x pcie slots @ 8x | 08:55 |
| kuahara | instead of 2x 16 | 08:55 |
| vick1 | kuahara, i tried cleaning it out an hour ago, i think it's just my fan is broken. do you think it'll be expensive to fix? | 08:55 |
| drivetrax | a moo-like program for linux | 08:55 |
| kuahara | vick1, what mobo/cpu do you have? | 08:55 |
| vick1 | hp dv1000 | 08:55 |
| vick1 | bought 3 years ago | 08:55 |
| kuahara | if you are running everything at stock speed and just do crap like web browsing and light gaming... | 08:55 |
| kuahara | is it an intel processor? | 08:55 |
| kuahara | too lazy to look it up | 08:55 |
| vick1 | yep | 08:55 |
| Winchester | choccollatte | 08:56 |
| starcannon | vick1 a replacement fan likely cost $50 or so, plus installation (unless you do it yourself) a new laptop on the cheap is around $500 | 08:56 |
| kuahara | I think I have a stock HSF for that if you want it | 08:56 |
| kuahara | lemme check rq | 08:56 |
| kuahara | I never use that crap | 08:56 |
| Winchester | choocollatte | 08:56 |
| vick1 | starcannon, yeah maybe i will just get a new laptop | 08:56 |
| kuahara | vick1, did you make sure you didn't just unplug the fan? | 08:56 |
| vick1 | been eyeing the eee pc | 08:56 |
| vick1 | yeah i had this computer tech guy look at it | 08:56 |
| userlol | starcannon yeah this is off a fresh install too | 08:56 |
| kuahara | vick1, is this on a laptop or your desktop that your fan broke? | 08:56 |
| vick1 | laptop | 08:56 |
| kuahara | o | 08:56 |
| student | anyone can help me how to install a software? | 08:57 |
| vick1 | i think i fried my harddrive over the year too | 08:57 |
| kuahara | the HSF I have is for desktop CPU's | 08:57 |
| starcannon | userlol weird then I don't know, I'm just lucky i guess hehe | 08:57 |
| eradicor | Is there anyway to set trash bin so that when i delete file it is just deleted and not put into trashbin at all? | 08:57 |

| student | anyone can help me how to install a software? | 08:57 |
| starcannon | student System--Administration-->Synaptic | 08:57 |
| kuahara | if not, just pay the tech to do it or bag the thing and get a new laptop | 08:58 |
| student | no i only download it | 08:58 |
| vick1 | very minimal, ill be having my friend help me whos a lot more knowledgable about taking apart laptops | 08:58 |
| chazco | I'm planning to reinstall XP on my laptop (replacing Hardy) to prevent damage and avoid some of the more recent bugs. Before i do, is there any easy way to downgrade to Gusty (which worked better)? | 08:58 |
| kuahara | friend of mine is selling a 4 month old Inspiron 1501 for $400 if you want it | 08:58 |
| starcannon | student the place you got it from didn't have install instructions with it? is it a .deb? | 08:58 |
| marupa | OK, all. I've gotta go sleep. Got work in the morning. | 08:58 |
| drivetrax | Chazco ------ DOWNgrades are not supported | 08:59 |
| vick1 | hmm thanks kuahara but i think i might want the eee pc | 08:59 |
| student | no it is not a deb its a tar. | 08:59 |
| kuahara | 160GB HDD, 1GB of PC5400 mem, AMD turion 64 2.0GHz cpu, 256MB ATI adapter | 08:59 |
| chazco | drivetrax - Ah, pity... may try installing it from fresh (i have a separate /home) | 08:59 |
| kuahara | $400 and its practically brand new | 08:59 |
| starcannon | chazco if yo have /home on its own partition then downgrading is as easy as putting the gutsy cd in the tray and doing fresh install... if you don't have /home on its own partition then its gonna be a bit more of a chore | 08:59 |
| vido | hi all i wish you a good morning | 08:59 |
| polterge|st | well this is interesting to say the least | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | vido: morning | 08:59 |
| polterge|st | I have Ubuntu up and working | 08:59 |
| drivetrax | best bet , you do chazco | 08:59 |
| chazco | starcannon - I have a separate /home in it | 09:00 |
| polterge|st | on account of having a virus in ms | 09:00 |
| chazco | How long will Gusty be supported? | 09:00 |
| polterge|st | and I happen to really like Ubuntu | 09:00 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: OK I got lshw - short run here | 09:00 |
| polterge|st | although this is 6.10 | 09:00 |
| polterge|st | can't wait for 8.x | 09:00 |
| starcannon | student unpack the tar (r-click it and extract here) and read any "readme" files or other documentation thats in there | 09:00 |
| drivetrax | IanClark, you got a CD drive listed | 09:00 |
| polterge|st | must get a wifi setup to download it soon | 09:00 |
| polterge|st | was actually just looking to get on the net so I could fix my other setup but this may become permenant | 09:01 |
| polterge|st | I am liking it | 09:01 |
| IanClark | drivetrax: how do I do the test from here? lspci? It's a pci drive | 09:01 |
| starcannon | chazco if /home is on its own partition then you can install any ubuntu version you want, just be sure to use manual partition manager, which you'd have had to do to have a seperate /home to begin with, and dont format /home anyway you get the picture no? | 09:01 |
| chazco | starcannon - Yep... like an upgrade in reverse really | 09:01 |
| kuahara | ok, I am giving up on rescuing all my data | 09:02 |

| starcannon | blue-frog hardy still has an xorg.conf file, and you can still manipulate it in the same ways, there is also a gui tool in System-Preferences-Screen Resolution | 09:04 |
| ere4si | !repeat | student | 09:04 |
| vido | i think ./install-sh | 09:04 |
| ubottu | student: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 09:04 |
| blue-frog | starcannon: that'is my question where is the resolution kept? (not in xorg.conf anymore) | 09:05 |
| vido | is there is a way to share the speed of the dsl line bet. 2 p.cs by equality | 09:05 |
| starcannon | student, after you have read the associated texts that were in the tar then open a terminal to the same folder the install-sh is in and type ./install-sh or if required sudo ./install-sh | 09:05 |

| prodigel | Hi all. I've installed ocsinventory-agent package and when setting up the packages it never succeeds, thus I'm always forced to Ctrl+c the step to continue the rest of the install/upgrade. Can I somehow tell apt to skip setting that package? | 09:06 |
| starcannon | blue-frog not sure about where "configured hardware" files are stowed, but you can put modelines in xorg.conf like we always have | 09:06 |

| casdf | hi; im trying to get ubuntu to dualboot with vista, is there something i can edit in vista to accomplish this? | 09:09 |
| starcannon | vido probably requires a bit of networking protocol or build your own router | 09:09 |
| boomshakalaka | after upgrading to hardy, compiz doesn't start automatically anymore....what is the proper way to enable it on startup? | 09:09 |
| nol1fe | eradicor: you can directly delete without the trash-can, i have seen a setting somewhere in gconf-editor to enable this | 09:09 |
| osfameron | my iw4965 wireless card occasionally soils itself and stops working. The only difference in lspci -vv seems to be that it lists "SERR+" instead of "SERR-" and the IRQ routing has changed. Any suggestions? | 09:09 |
| starcannon | vido or you can just hit your room mate over the head with a pan and use all the bandwidth ;) | 09:09 |
| ere4si | vslice: type gconf-editor in a terminal - then browse to apps - nautilus - and select show volumes' | 09:09 |

| Bjbbop | thank you guys for your ensewr | 09:11 |

| student | starcannon, how to find the directory? | 09:11 |
| nol1fe | eradicor: checkout what ere4si said to vslice. it's around there somewhere | 09:11 |
| vslice | ere4si: do u mean volumes visible? | 09:11 |
| Cyber_Stalker | starcannon but better then old? | 09:11 |
| ere4si | vslice: yep | 09:11 |
| vslice | it already is | 09:11 |
| student | starcannon, how to find the directory? | 09:11 |
| starcannon | Cyber_Stalker in my opinion yes, but to those who always lament leaving egypt no ;) | 09:11 |
| fanch_ | Cyber_Stalker: what is the last version according to you ? | 09:11 |
| netcrusher88 | question re: the textmode installer - if you select encrypted LVM, is it LUKS or just generic dm-crypt? | 09:11 |
| Cyber_Stalker | umm fanch_ | 09:11 |
| vslice | i thought u have to do something with /etc/fstab? | 09:11 |
| Cyber_Stalker | what version are we on now? | 09:11 |
| ere4si | vslice: it shows volumes mounted in /media - where are yours mounted | 09:12 |
| kuahara | bleh..parted magic is confusing me. What numbers do I use if I want a 100GB partition set aside (102400MB). I want this to be NTFS formatted | 09:12 |
| fanch_ | Cyber_Stalker: hardy heron | 09:12 |
| starcannon | student in terminal cd /home/student/somefolder/where/program/is | 09:12 |
| kuahara | its asking for free space preceding, new size, and following | 09:12 |
| Cyber_Stalker | 7.7? | 09:12 |
| Cyber_Stalker | or is that 8.8 | 09:12 |
| Cyber_Stalker | ? | 09:12 |
| vslice | in media | 09:12 |
| netcrusher88 | nevermind, it's LUKS, just found the thing | 09:12 |
| student | starcannon, a cracker software. you can find it in. www.ophcrack.sourceforge.net | 09:12 |
| starcannon | Cyber_Stalker 8.04 | 09:12 |

| Cyber_Stalker | i think last i used was 7 | 09:12 |
| student | starcannon, a cracker software. you can find it in. www.ophcrack.sourceforge.net | 09:12 |
| Cyber_Stalker | oh well let me go find a freedomtoaster | 09:13 |
| kuahara | ok, scratch that, I figured out what it was wanting | 09:13 |
| Cyber_Stalker | install it on old box | 09:13 |
| vslice | i have to manually click on places and then the hd to make the icon appear | 09:13 |
| kuahara | what fs does ubuntu use? | 09:13 |
| vslice | i want the icon to appear auto when i start ubuntu | 09:13 |
| boomshakalaka | anyone know the "proper" way to enable compiz at startup? | 09:13 |
| fanch_ | Cyber_Stalker: i think the best thing to do is to try a live cd and make up your own opinion | 09:13 |
| thierry | someone deoes know how to install wma plugin on mozilla? | 09:13 |
| NET||abuse | boomshakalaka, enable desktop effects in the Preferences | 09:14 |
| kuahara | will the ubuntu installer offer to format the partition for me? | 09:14 |
| ere4si | vslice: just drag the icon from places onto the desktop | 09:14 |
| kuahara | like windows dos | 09:14 |
| kuahara | does | 09:14 |
| nol1fe | kuahara: yap | 09:14 |
| vslice | but it wont mount the next time i restart | 09:14 |
| starcannon | boomshakalaka if you enable it from System-Preferences-Appearance menu it will remember the setting for you | 09:14 |
| kuahara | is any one fs better than another | 09:14 |

| vido | hey guys no one knows if there is a way to share the speed of the dsl line bet. 2 p.cs by equality | 09:14 |
| vslice | no sorry | 09:14 |
| kuahara | vido, thats kind of a complex thing to do | 09:14 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, there's no need to add to sesisons, it is part of the ubuntu desktop now | 09:14 |
| ere4si | vslice: ahh - have you got an entry in /etc/fstab for them ? | 09:15 |
| boomshakalaka | thank you | 09:15 |
| student | starcannon did you get it? | 09:15 |
| starcannon | kuahara its subjective, many have their pros and cons, but mostly it really comes down to using the right tool for the job your doing | 09:15 |
| vslice | yes | 09:15 |
| ere4si | !who | vslice | 09:15 |
| ubottu | vslice: 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 :) | 09:15 |
| vido | good then it`s dobel | 09:15 |
| langenberg | I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and noticed there is no /usr/X11R6/include directory, which development package should I install? | 09:15 |
| starcannon | student no, not interested in it | 09:15 |
| kuahara | starcannon really, I'm just a linux noob and this installation is going to be like me at age 10 when I was fiddling with dos | 09:15 |
| NET||abuse | boomshakalaka, so if you want the advanced configuration to bling it up somewhat, then apt-get ccsm | 09:15 |
| WildChild7 | hello guys!! | 09:15 |
| langenberg | I like to compile something against Xlib. | 09:15 |
| blankthemuffin | http://www.pastebin.ca/1010297 Description with paste. | 09:15 |

| kuahara | one thing I would like to try out is that cubic desktop thing | 09:15 |
| fanch_ | sorry for asking again.... but anyone knows why i cannot join ubuntu-fr ? | 09:16 |
| fanch_ | is the channel closed or something ? | 09:16 |
| starcannon | kuahara ext3 is a good solid desktop fs choice | 09:16 |
| kuahara | kk, thx | 09:16 |
| ere4si | vslice: can you paste the /etc/fstab file? | 09:16 |
| ere4si | !paste | vslice | 09:16 |
| student | starcannon did you get it? | 09:16 |
| ubottu | vslice: 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) | 09:16 |
| student | starcannon. what if the file is located in the document folder? can it be install? | 09:16 |
| NET||abuse | I have a server with 2 plain old sata 300GB drives, i want to mirror the system drive across to the spare drive, just to backup | 09:16 |
| boomshakalaka | NET||abuse: thanks I had all that in gutsy...it seems the upgrade to hardy turned off the option in the appearance menu | 09:16 |
| herbaliser | anybody that can tell me how to setup tty logging for all sessions or point me to software that can do this | 09:16 |
| NET||abuse | at present the system doesn't mount the second drive | 09:16 |

| NET||abuse | what is the best way to go about configuring a backup solution in this situation? | 09:17 |
| marko-_- | does someone know why on hardy under "apperiance" and then the tab "effects" i can't choose custom only extra ? | 09:17 |
| NET||abuse | boomshakalaka, glad to be of assistance | 09:17 |
| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, so the full compiz-fusion is included with 8.04? | 09:17 |
| adam7 | anyone know how to get my external usb drives to sync/unmount before I suspend? as it is, suspending is just like unplugging them from the wall | 09:17 |
| === artenius is now known as noble- | ||
| starcannon | student I'd like to help, but you are asking me to help you install something you called crack software, you don't know how to even change directories, I am a bit concerned that I would not be doing you any favors on this one, I respectfully decline to assist you in this project | 09:17 |
| timob | how do i fix alsamixer and alsactl after upgrading to hardy from gutsy? | 09:17 |
| crdlb | marko-_-: it doesn't really matter which one you choose, but now custom only shows up if you install simple-ccsm | 09:17 |
| WildChild7 | I have just installed ubuntu, and my monitor is at resolution 1280x024 and 60HZ. I would lile to be at resolution at 1024x768 and 85HZ but I don't know how to change it, since in xorg.conf there is no stuff..http://pastebin.ca/1009957 can someone help me out. Or I should go to previous release hutsy ? | 09:17 |
| vslice | ere4si: i pasted it | 09:17 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, for values of "full" yes, where full = normal effects set | 09:17 |
| herbaliser | anybody that can tell me how to setup tty logging for all sessions or point me to software that can do this | 09:17 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, if you want the super crazy non-official plugins you have to add packages, as well as ccsm | 09:18 |
| ere4si | vslice: you need to give the url for it - the web address | 09:18 |
| timob | !alsa | 09:18 |
| 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 | 09:18 |
| langenberg | Is there some xorg-dev package that will ad /usr/X11R6/include ? | 09:18 |

| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, ah ok, thought it was something like that. | 09:19 |
| student | starcannon, i know how to use the software..dont worry | 09:19 |
| WildChild7 | nol1fe I've tryed that change it to 1024x768 and it gives me automatically 85HZ but when I restart X. It throws me at 800x600 and xorg.conf get nasty.. | 09:19 |
| Klarth | I don't know why it's stopped working | 09:19 |
| blankthemuffin | http://www.pastebin.ca/1010297 I removed powernowd and installed cpufreqd on this PC the other day, worked fine until a reboot when I now get this message and neither of them work, ideas? | 09:19 |
| marko-_- | crdlb, yes i installed it now it works... but yesterday it WASN'T installed and it worked too... and custom was listed under effects too... i just want to know why this happen all of a sudden... but anyway now it works... so thanks | 09:19 |
| erUSUL | oddalot: the one of your router; that's the only ip public on your network | 09:19 |

| Klarth | argh, you guise are niggas | 09:19 |
| ramukmar | klarth: what happens when you try booting then? | 09:19 |
| starcannon | student if your savvy enough to use Open Source crack tools, then your ahead of me, and I'll be asking you questions lol, nah, go bone up on your cli | 09:19 |
| kuahara | oddalot, I'm guessing they are both behind the same router | 09:19 |
| marko-_- | crdlb, yes then i did a clean install | 09:20 |
| Klarth | grub error 22 | 09:20 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, just that you really don't have to add compiz to the session startup list at all, it's started by ubuntu desktop settings when you select it, and it will tie in with all the extra plugins and settings you add through the other packages | 09:20 |
| oddalot | erUSUL, i set up an apache server, how do i access it from another computer? | 09:20 |
| student | starcannon, what is that? | 09:20 |

| Klarth | GRUB 22 HOWDOIFIXIT? | 09:21 |
| erUSUL | oddalot: ifconfig does tell you your local ip so you can access it from your other computer on the lan. if you want to made it accesible to internet you have to set up port forwarding on the router | 09:21 |

| kuahara | my problem is that I just created nearly 200GB in ntfs partitions and the windows installer only sees 131000 MB of it | 09:30 |
| adam7 | kuahara: you'll need to reformat probably and use primary partitions instead | 09:30 |
| kuahara | adam7 all 3 were created as primary partitions | 09:30 |
| harrydg | what does fdisk -l /dev/<disk> give you? | 09:30 |

| eradicor | nol1fe, heh.. now it doesnt ask anthing when i press delete.. it just .. deletes the file to trash bin.. | 09:32 |
| kelvin911 | whenever the weather is Mist, it has no icon for it | 09:32 |
| harrydg | there is a limit to some filesystems and some windows versions of 128GB | 09:32 |
| hub_ | are you using xp sp1? | 09:32 |
| kuahara | adam7, I have used the windows installer to identify 3 partitions at once before | 09:32 |
| ramukmar | PaulBrando: meh, rhythmbox's last fm integration could use help | 09:32 |
| kuahara | it just says the linux ones are unknown partitions | 09:32 |
| nol1fe | eradicor: lol, that's not what you want eh? | 09:32 |
| harrydg | adam7: all depends on the way partitions are made | 09:32 |
| kuahara | harrydg, I made all 3 with parted magic | 09:32 |
| starcannon | kelvin it looks like you have a ever so slightly cloudy moonlit night going there | 09:32 |
| harrydg | kuahara: mkay... and what does fdisk -l /dev/<disk> say? | 09:33 |
| PaulBrando | ramukmar: yeah, it was like that before Hardy. All I can tell that it is doing is scrobbing. hehe, yeah, you are right - before Hardy, I don't think anything about the plugin worked for me, except the radio stations would play | 09:33 |
| blue-frog | starcannon: xrandr will list your res. xrandr -s 1280x1024 will set a new res | 09:33 |
| kuahara | primary ntfs: 100GB and 98GB...ext 3 is primary and 35GB in size | 09:33 |
| eradicor | nol1fe, no.. I want it to delete the file completely when i hit delete (and confirm it). I dont want it do put it into the trash bin. | 09:33 |

| harrydg | hmm... seems i can't get through... | 09:33 |

| starcannon | blue-frog excellent thanks! that may help on my cloudbook, can you set refresh rates and vsynch with that (i know i know rtfm) just thought I'd ask since your messin with it | 09:33 |
| blankthemuffin | Alright, on account of previous question getting nothing, I'll ask a very open ended question. I'm having abit of trouble with ubuntu's speed. The GUI is responcive, but it takes over 40 seconds to open a terminal etc. about a minute to get from the login to the desktop just showing, let alone being responsive. Apps seem to work fine, once they are opened. | 09:33 |
| kuahara | harrydg linux is not on that machine | 09:33 |
| kuahara | in any form | 09:33 |
| harrydg | adam7: windows is picky about stuff in your partition table | 09:33 |
| kuahara | so I can't tell you | 09:34 |

| rsvampire | hardy_hardly I realize that, but the restricted drivers manager isn't showing my wireless card | 09:37 |
| harrydg | it's a signal handler error | 09:38 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, the driver for your broadcom chip might be installed but the firmware cannot be distributed legally in some countries. | 09:38 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: so i know what is the weather there | 09:38 |
| Chrysalis | adam7: its locked, but it moves further to the right when i open programs and doesnt go back left when i close them and leavse empty space | 09:38 |

| kelvin911 | after upgrade to hardy the weather thing in panel is screwed up | 09:38 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly well in gutsy you had to enable the restricted driver and then choose the firmware to upload | 09:38 |

| harrydg | some ati crap | 09:39 |
| lesshaste | harrydg: that doesn't really do acceleration though ? | 09:39 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: but this is one of the thing hardy is pissing me off | 09:39 |
| harrydg | if it crashes again... we'll try to do some debugging :) | 09:39 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly yes I'm on 8.04 right now | 09:39 |
| harrydg | lesshaste: no... | 09:39 |
| kelvin911 | Starnestommy: it should be called ubuntu 98 | 09:39 |

| casdf | can i not boot ubuntu under the vista bootloader? | 09:40 |
| stippi | hi all, I have problems with my network setup, I can only get it to work when I physically switch off WLAN. Only then will Ubuntu use my LAN connection and configure it via DHCP. Why can't it just notice that WLAN does not work and use the LAN connection as a fallback? | 09:40 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly, yeah I opened that and my broadcom chip isn't listed, just my nvidia card | 09:40 |
| adam7 | casdf: you can, but it probably is easier to install grub | 09:40 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 it would and may happen in gutsy as well, keep in mind hardy is just a collection of open source software, if the developers of your weather applet decided mist was a bad idea, or just messed up a config file, then an update regardless of distro or version could make it look just like it does right now in hardy | 09:40 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, did you try to reboot? | 09:40 |
| casdf | adam7: the reason i ask is because i have a recovery partition from lenovo, which im not sure grub will play nicely with | 09:40 |
| adam7 | casdf: try this http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=473915&pid=587684376&st=0&#entry587684376 | 09:40 |

| rsvampire | hardy_hardly yeah I've rebooted like 3 times | 09:41 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, it was not listed even for me, but after a reboot it just happened to be there. | 09:41 |
| casdf | adam7: ok, thanks im gonna check it out | 09:41 |
| starcannon | kelvin sure, do you know a place thats misty right now, i'll check it out | 09:41 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, hmm ok. Let me see... | 09:41 |
| adam7 | casdf: looking at it now, it might not be too helpful :P | 09:41 |
| casdf | adam7: heh, yeah it seems to be for using grub | 09:41 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly let me try rebooting againt while you're thinking | 09:41 |
| sagitarius_girl | hi | 09:42 |
| adam7 | casdf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=265325 might be better | 09:42 |
| sagitarius_girl | can i join | 09:42 |
| adam7 | sagitarius_girl: sure | 09:43 |
| sagitarius_girl | thanks! | 09:43 |
| adam7 | just start typing :) | 09:43 |
| casdf | adam7: so i install grub onto the linux partition then? | 09:43 |
| casdf | adam7: even if ubuntu has already been installed? | 09:43 |
| adam7 | casdf: you'll probably need to I think - every time there is a kernel update, the loading stuff changes, which is why grub is easier | 09:43 |
| blankthemuffin | http://www.pastebin.ca/1010297 I removed powernowd and installed cpufreqd on this PC the other day, worked fine until a reboot when I now get this message and neither of them work, ideas? Try again with me first question then shall I | 09:43 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: the place i have now it is light rain | 09:44 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: let me search | 09:44 |
| sagitarius_girl | what r u talking bout? | 09:44 |
| casdf | erg... this comp doesnt come with windows cds, its all on the recovery partition, so i'd rather not risk losing access to it :\ | 09:44 |
| adam7 | casdf: you can install GRUB to the Ubuntu partition, and then load GRUB from the Windows bootloader | 09:44 |
| casdf | adam7: ok, that sounds like an awesome plan. | 09:44 |
| adam7 | casdf: it doesn't involve messing with your MBR at all | 09:44 |
| blankthemuffin | casdf, Grub is better than the vista bootloader at any rate, I was playing around trying to get the vista one to work the other day, much easier to install grub. | 09:45 |
| casdf | adam7: and i do this by livecd'ing ubuntu? | 09:45 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly hey, I restarted and it still didn't pop up | 09:45 |
| adam7 | casdf: I think that's how it works -- I'm not too on top of this bootloader stuff so I can't give you directions | 09:45 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy | 09:45 |
| hardy_hardly | try the offline install | 09:45 |
| starcannon | casdf what brand of computer is that? | 09:45 |
| casdf | starcannon: lenovo r61i, i think you mentioned you had similar | 09:45 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, do you have ethernet working? | 09:45 |
| Cyber_Stalker | damit | 09:46 |
| hardy_hardly | try iwconfig rsvampire | 09:46 |
| blankthemuffin | You have to download some third party apps for vista to modify the bootloader. | 09:46 |
| starcannon | casdf I have similar restore setup | 09:46 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly yeah I have ethernet working | 09:46 |
| Cyber_Stalker | was going to install ubuntu on my old machine but i just realised that i dont have a screen for it | 09:46 |
| starcannon | casdf I dont know how lenevo does things but on this hp for $20 i can buy a set of restore cd's | 09:46 |
| surki | hi, I am running a x program at remote computer. I ssh'ed into that machine(and xforward is working fine). any way to make that xprogram appear in the local computer? | 09:46 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, are you using desktop or server? | 09:46 |
| zyx386 | how can fix this Error http://pastebin.com/m5d9d9649 ????????????? | 09:46 |
| casdf | starcannon: i hear that if i call them up i can get a set, but i've not tried yet | 09:46 |
| MonKey1 | how do i compile things after i download recordmydesktop ? | 09:46 |
| rsvampire | lo no wireless extensions, eth0 no wireless extensions | 09:46 |
| adam7 | casdf: with the clever use of dd you should be able to copy that partition and make a dvd out of it | 09:46 |
| rsvampire | I'm using 8.04 desktop | 09:46 |

| NET||abuse | ok, so guys, i have a server with 2 sata drives, one is active as the system drive, the other inactive, i want to mount the second drive, and then mirror all my data across to it in incremental backups, what's the best solution to do this under ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, try the offline install | 09:47 |
| === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso | ||

| ubottu | rsvampire: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: please check Watson Lake | 09:47 |
| === Mr_SpOOn[nonciso is now known as Mr_SpOOn | ||
| casdf | ramukmar: interesting, i will check when i boot into windows | 09:47 |
| starcannon | casdf if the ability to restore windows when its inevitability occurs is important to you, i'd not trust the restore partition to survive even if I weren't trying to dual boot another os | 09:47 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: export WINK_INSTALL_DIR | 09:47 |
| L_inf | What does Tracker do?(the little magnifying glass in the notification area) seem to be slowing down my system. | 09:47 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 what state? | 09:47 |
| adam7 | NET||abuse: rsync might be good if you put it in cron | 09:47 |
| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, no idea what the best solution is, I usually rsync between my two PC's | 09:47 |
| casdf | starcannon: yeah, its not a great option | 09:47 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: dont know | 09:48 |
| hardy_hardly | adam7, I like fwcutter though. In my case it was all automatic | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | Starnestommy: just search watson lake | 09:48 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| === Yhouse is now known as Yhouse[OFF] | ||
| orionrobots | L_inf - tracker indexes files for quick searching. | 09:48 |
| NET||abuse | adam7, i thought something lyike rsync would be an answer,, ok, i'll see what i can do. | 09:48 |
| adam7 | hardy_hardly: yeah, in my case, the transfer rate with fwcutter is ~70kilo*bytes* per second | 09:48 |
| jaffarkelshac | i am trying to install, america's army opps, it at the stage where it saids installing base install, its been there for a while, is the installation process crashed? its goes from 1%-100% again and again, | 09:48 |
| zyx386 | tech0007, nothing happen!! | 09:48 |
| kelvin911 | Starnestommy: this is what i have http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2hq7.png | 09:48 |
| NET||abuse | adam7, what about system files, in use files etc. is there support or work arounds for dealing with this? | 09:48 |
| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, actually I always use rsync for any semi-large copying, it's really great | 09:48 |
| orionrobots | L_inf - it is slow because it is indexing most files on the computer -building a database of files. | 09:48 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: continue w/ what u were doing | 09:48 |
| hardy_hardly | adam7, what is the rate using ndiswrapper? | 09:48 |
| NET||abuse | adam7, eg, there's a mysql database server running, what can i do about files that it has? | 09:49 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: what r u trying to do btw? | 09:49 |
| adam7 | NET||abuse: great think about linux, is you can just copy everything even when running -- there won't be any problem, I don't think | 09:49 |
| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, I know you can bring files down from a live webserver | 09:49 |
| zyx386 | tech0007, i install Wink | 09:49 |
| _sp8472_ | since gutsy, my hard drive keeps spinning down all the time and the brightness automatically is turned down - but this is not what i set in laptop-mode.conf - any suggestions? | 09:49 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 my mist icon is a sort of gray gradient is that what you mean? | 09:49 |
| zyx386 | and become this error | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | yes | 09:49 |
| fiyawerx_ | kelvin911, what weather app is that? | 09:49 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, awsome if true, i wonder what the deal is with it. | 09:49 |
| adam7 | NET||abuse: at any rate, the backup won't be stopped by open files or in use files, not sure what the state of the files will look like when backed up though :/ | 09:49 |
| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, do it at work, it backs up the server every night. | 09:49 |
| L_inf | orionrobots: how much time am I supposed to leave to work for it to be able search something?? | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | that come with ubuntu | 09:49 |
| kelvin911 | in top panel | 09:49 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 yours doesn't show the gradient, or you don't like that icon? | 09:50 |
| _sp8472_ | correction: since HARDY, my hard drive keeps spinning down all the time and the brightness automatically is turned down - but this is not what i set in laptop-mode.conf - any suggestions? | 09:50 |
| ramukmar | NET||abuse: it'll work even if files are in use | 09:50 |
| adam7 | hardy_hardly: 36mbps w/ ndiswrapper vs 1mbps w/ b43 | 09:50 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, what roles does you server cover? | 09:50 |
| fiyawerx_ | does anyone here use clearweather? | 09:50 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: can you try running it now? | 09:50 |
| kelvin911 | i thought the gradient is missing icon | 09:50 |
| NET||abuse | ramukmar, yay, +1 vote on the it'll work column :) | 09:50 |
| hardy_hardly | adam7, :O I did not know about this. | 09:50 |
| kelvin911 | i thought miss icon is something else | 09:50 |
| ramukmar | NET||abuse: yes, that's one thing i like about linux :) | 09:50 |
| adam7 | hardy_hardly: yeah -- it's the downside to using b43 | 09:50 |
| kelvin911 | i guess the gradient is the right icon | 09:50 |
| blankthemuffin | NET||abuse, it basically runs a big typo3 server with many many sites and users, as well as an email server | 09:50 |
| hardy_hardly | adam7, what tool did you use to test this? | 09:50 |
| zyx386 | tech0007, the error is stil her | 09:50 |
| orionrobots | L_inf:That depends on how many files you have, and what is in them. It may run like that for a while. How recently did you install? | 09:50 |
| adam7 | hardy_hardly: netcat + lan | 09:50 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, sounds much the same as my server | 09:51 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 nah i think the gradient is supposed to represent mist, or at least thats my perception /shrug, ones mans mist is another mans missing icon perhaps though i dont know | 09:51 |
| adam7 | hardy_hardly: as in, moving information from /dev/zero to /dev/null on another computer | 09:51 |
| adam7 | via netcat | 09:51 |
| fiyawerx_ | 1mbps with b43? | 09:51 |
| hardy_hardly | adam7, haahah ok. | 09:51 |
| rsvampire | adam7 ndiswrapper isn't installed | 09:51 |
| NET||abuse | blankthemuffin, just it has about 20/30 sites on it now, 50 more are about to be loaded onto it. lotsa fun so i wanted backups to be operable | 09:51 |
| orionrobots | L_inf:You can safely kill tracker if it is bothering you. However, the search box may then not find everything. | 09:51 |
| fiyawerx_ | I was maxing out my internet connection at 10mbps with b43 an hour ago | 09:51 |
| rsvampire | adam7 so how can my driver already be loaded... and not in the restricted drivers manager | 09:51 |
| kelvin911 | starcannon: it looks ugly so i thought the icon is missing | 09:51 |
| adam7 | fiyawerx_: it depends how far away you are - in my case, I'm upstairs, but I should get better then 1mbps with b43 | 09:52 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: did u install it thru apt-get? or did u compile it from source? | 09:52 |
| fiyawerx_ | ahh, gotcha | 09:52 |
| adam7 | (upstairs from the router, that is) | 09:52 |
| blankthemuffin | Yeah NET||abuse, this has about 10 subsites with typo3 handling sites within each subnet. | 09:52 |
| * fiyawerx_ nods | 09:52 | |
| kelvin911 | i guess the mist icon is right | 09:52 |
| blankthemuffin | subsite even | 09:52 |
| casdf | can someone help me with installing grub on the linux partition, instead of MBR? i've loaded up the livecd | 09:52 |
| zyx386 | tech0007, compile from source | 09:52 |
| jaffarkelshac | !aptfix | 09:52 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:52 |
| starcannon | kelvin911 break out the Gimp and make a nicer one, be sure to share though ;) | 09:52 |

| MonKey1 | how do i compile things after i download recordmydesktop ? | 09:53 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly I'm still lost man, that didn't work | 09:53 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: you need to specify where u installed it. export WINK_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local i'm guessing | 09:53 |
| ramukmar | kelvin911: i never had mist in my part of the world...so never got that icon ;) | 09:53 |
| ere4si | MonKey1: there will be a readme file | 09:53 |
| ramukmar | kelvin911: how ugly is it? | 09:53 |
| MonKey1 | no.. | 09:53 |
| starcannon | lol | 09:53 |
| MonKey1 | theres not | 09:53 |
| adam7 | kelvin911: I get that mist icon here in Beijing whenever it's polluted :) | 09:53 |
| casdf | following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows leads to an error when i try the 'find /boot/grub/stage1' command | 09:53 |
| kelvin911 | i live in vancouver so it is mist almost all the time | 09:53 |
| adam7 | that is one ugly icon, though | 09:54 |
| hardy_hardly | rsvampire, :O that's messed up. The manual install for firmware did not work? | 09:54 |
| kelvin911 | its freaking ugly | 09:54 |
| zyx386 | tech0007, nothing | 09:54 |
| ramukmar | kelvin911: hehe, i should check that out.. | 09:54 |
| rsvampire | hardy_hardly nope | 09:54 |
| ere4si | MonKey1: cd to the dir it is unpacked in - then ./.configure | 09:54 |
| kelvin911 | check out Watson Lake now | 09:54 |
| starcannon | that icon is soooo ugly, it reminds me of this one time playing EQ we were at bandit camp, and this bard had a flute... | 09:54 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: can u give me the output of 'which wink' | 09:54 |

| tech0007 | zyx386: did you take a look at the readme.txt fle for install issues? | 09:58 |

| tech0007 | zyx386: just curious why compile when the versions the same w/ that in the repo? | 09:58 |
| blankthemuffin | Yeah casdf, try appending the directory to your linux drive to the front | 09:58 |
| zyx386 | tech0007, because the .deb not worked to | 09:59 |
| casdf | blankthemuffin: i do have /boot but i don't have a grub folder in there | 09:59 |
| casdf | blankthemuffin: i didn't choose to install it during ubuntu install | 09:59 |
| tech0007 | zyx386: did u do 'sudo apt-get install wink' ? | 09:59 |
| blankthemuffin | oh casdf, if you don't have grub installed you can't run that command. | 09:59 |
| casdf | blankthemuffin: if i did though, wouldnt grub be placed in the MBR? because i don't want that | 10:00 |

| European-African | hey guys, any debate as to whether those who have amd-64 should install 32-bit vers of ubuntu, because most software at the moment does not support 64? | 10:12 |
| XDS2010 | david__--: ok | 10:12 |
| XDS2010 | .... | 10:12 |
| orionrobots | European-African: When you say most - there is plenty that is fine. | 10:12 |
| tech0007 | XDS2010: nope, im good | 10:12 |
| orionrobots | European-African: some closed source drivers are a pain though. | 10:12 |
| XDS2010 | david__--: ok | 10:12 |
| European-African | yes but there is plenty that is not fine, like flash | 10:12 |
| starcannon | European-African yeah theres been a few heated debates about that on the forums, they are pointless debates, go with what works for you. Currently the only excellent reason to do 64 on a desktop is for the added ram imo but, to each their own I say | 10:13 |
| XDS2010 | david__--: what version of ubuntu do you have ? , ( what initial version i mean ) | 10:13 |
| orionrobots | Good point. | 10:13 |
| axisys | so anyone here runs compiz on gutsy? | 10:13 |
| malka_b | yes | 10:13 |
| starcannon | axisys I do | 10:13 |
| orionrobots | Sure yes. | 10:13 |
| david__-- | xds2010:gutsy 7.10 and now hardy | 10:13 |
| orionrobots | Actually - hardy now | 10:13 |
| European-African | perhaps i should install 32-bit then | 10:13 |
| XDS2010 | starcannon: there is a company promising the ability off over 4 gigs of ram on 32bit | 10:14 |
| ere4si | European-African: I'm one that thinks until the 64bit matures 32bit is the only way to go - unless you like a struggle | 10:14 |
| tech0007 | European-African: good choice! | 10:14 |
| axisys | how do I enable/intsall compiz for gutsy... i see steps for edgy | 10:14 |
| malka_b | thou my buntu dont run anymore ; ) | 10:14 |

| European-African | ok thanx u made up my mind | 10:14 |

| gypsymauro | I've installed 8.04 but it has not openoffice base and when I install it it doesn't start (!?!) it wasn't a LTS?:) | 10:14 |

| starcannon | ikonia I'm setting up my first ever server, this is strictly an educational experience, I want to get good at it, but its not mission critical, so we can be as wild or mild as we want, that said, I'm at the Software Selection page of the server install disk | 11:01 |

| sortudo_78 | ikonia: would you like to try to install my pcmcia mobile cdma g3 modem, it uses very simple modules, i just need to install pcmcia moldules! | 11:02 |
| ikonia | starcannon: so my first tip is to use the ubuntu-desktop product rather than the server product, it's setup for home PC kit much better, it's a great learning tool and acts as a great serrver | 11:02 |
| kelvin911 | European-African: all gold in one day? | 11:02 |

| perlmonkey | anyone have any tips for webcam setup? | 11:03 |
| kelvin911 | European-African: i got 100% on all 6 gf | 11:03 |
| starcannon | ikonia: adam7: this is a training run, speed is not a big issue here, authentic real world feel is, when i'm done learning it will never get booted again, the drive will be wiped and put back as storage | 11:03 |
| adam7 | perlmonkey: if you're able, you might want to try Hardy or Gutsy | 11:03 |
| ikonia | perlmonkey: calm down asking every 2 minutes, As you can see the channel is busy, someone will get to you son | 11:03 |
| akun2 | tech0007: no, i'm trying to select the package through packages.ubuntu.com. but I don't know which one is correct: "linux-headers-2.6.24-16" or "linux-headers-2.6.24-16-386"? | 11:03 |
| perlmonkey | adam7: oh | 11:03 |
| sortudo_78 | ikonia: i did not told you it is a dsl router, it is a wireless ap router with 4 rj45 ports | 11:04 |
| European-African | kelvin911: #gta-san | 11:04 |
| * perlmonkey remains calm | 11:04 | |
| tech0007 | akun2: what's the output of 'uname -r' | 11:04 |
| kelvin911 | lets go there now | 11:04 |
| sortudo_78 | ikonia: i am sory, i am tryng the esyer way to connect to internet? | 11:04 |
| adam7 | starcannon: if it has a reasonable processor and a monitor w/ mouse and keyboard, you might do as ikonia says, install the normal version of Ubuntu, which makes an awesome server | 11:04 |
| ikonia | starcannon: ok, so you want to install the desktop product to get support for your hardware as good as possible, then you can try exercises such as setting up a web server, with multiple sites, setting up a database server, linking a website to the database server, setting up ldap , linking the webservers auth to ldap etc etc. | 11:04 |
| ikonia | starcannon: start with a technology then build it up | 11:04 |
| starcannon | ikonia I'd prefer a cli environment as I understand that is the general way of things or so i'm told, i'm just wondering which packages to choose, Lamp, mail, print, samba openssh ? | 11:05 |
| kuahara | anyone else here dual boot ubuntu and xp pro? | 11:05 |
| akun2 | tech0007: i'm on windows, but I have a pentium 4 celeron btw | 11:05 |

| ronino | hi | 11:05 |
| perlmonkey | kuakara: i have SP2 | 11:05 |
| ikonia | starcannon: you can use xterms which make the learing process easier, or you can disable gnome and use it as a clommand line onl | 11:05 |
| ikonia | only | 11:05 |
| tech0007 | akun2: go to System->Administrator->System Monitor | 11:05 |

| adam7 | bracksisahobo: sudo apt-get remove compiz | 11:11 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ it says new device using uhci_hcd and address 9 | 11:11 |
| starcannon | ikonia perfect thanks loads | 11:11 |
| Myrtti | ghaith: type "top" without the quotes to a terminal | 11:11 |
| bracksisahobo | yeah tried killing all compiz but it just leaves me w/ no window manager | 11:11 |
| adam7 | ghaith: if that's a laptop, you'll want to make sure that the thing is getting enough air under it | 11:11 |
| Nevstah | tech0007: thanks, am trying now | 11:11 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ says configuration #1 from 1 choice, SN9C10[12] PC Camera Controller detected | 11:11 |

| starcannon | ikonia: adam7: thanks to you both | 11:12 |
| ikonia | ghaith: thats sounds like a lot for a laptop to run | 11:12 |
| bracksisahobo | ok ill try that | 11:12 |
| Nevstah | tech0007: that failed too :( | 11:12 |
| adam7 | starcannon: have fun with your server :) | 11:12 |
| ikonia | starcannon: welcome, if you have issues with any of that, come back for help. Easier to ask for help then mess it up and fix it | 11:12 |
| kuahara | is the server running on ubuntu? =o | 11:12 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ (vid/pid 0x0C45/0x602C) 0V7630 image sensor detected Initialization succeeded | 11:12 |
| ghaith | adam7, yeah i guess that should be one of the problems, the temprature is getting to 94C, last time was 99 | 11:12 |

| perlmonkey | cube_ V4L2 device registered as /dev/video0 | 11:12 |

| ikonia | kuahara: the channel is for ubuntu support questions only | 11:12 |
| cube_ | perlmonkey endeed ^^ | 11:13 |
| kuahara | ikonia, you were the one talking about webservers | 11:13 |
| ikonia | kuahara: yes, in an ubuntu support question | 11:13 |
| tech0007 | Nevstah: first try sudo apt-get check | 11:13 |
| Nelson_Apart | How to change run level? | 11:13 |
| bond` | "apt-get update" fails: Unable to connect to security.ubuntu.com | 11:13 |
| ghaith | ikonia, well i used to run more then that all the time, could it be the new kernel as well? i dont' run the vm together with the rest of the stuff ofcourse.. but usualy netbeans, firefox and evolution | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: /etc/inittab | 11:13 |
| bracksisahobo | yeh thanx that works fine :) :) | 11:13 |
| kuahara | I think there's been more talk about questions appropriate for the channel than actual questions appropriate for the channel | 11:13 |
| ikonia | kuahara: then talk on topic then, and it will stop | 11:13 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ that looks ok? | 11:13 |
| cube_ | perlmonkey your box regonized it, and set it to /dev/video. i think that there is no problem with installed drivers... | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: or "init $runlevel" to do it dynamic | 11:14 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ I thought so, strange how all tests have failed tho | 11:14 |
| kuahara | ikonia are you some kinda admin here or something (with ubuntu installed!) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | kuahara: nope | 11:14 |
| tech0007 | Nevstah: is it still i nstalled? dpkg -s mailscanner | 11:14 |
| cube_ | perlmonkey did you set then the right input /dev/video? | 11:14 |
| cube_ | *them | 11:14 |
| kuahara | then why bother with what other people are talking about | 11:14 |
| sortudo_78 | ikonia: Please, work with me too ??? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | kuahara: this is an offtopic chat, read the topic (type /topic) and the guide line links in it | 11:15 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ ya, can you recommend any failsafe test app for cam? | 11:15 |
| Myrtti | kuahara: because it's everybody's job to keep this channel usable | 11:15 |
| Nelson_Apart | ikonia, i just entered it but no respond | 11:15 |
| ikonia | sortudo_78: I'm totally lost at what you want | 11:15 |

| Nelson_Apart | i've tried 'init 3' and 'init $runlevel 3' | 11:15 |
| perlmonkey | I tried kopete to test webcam, it does not even show under devices | 11:15 |
| tech0007 | sortudo_78: what does 'ifconfig' say? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: "sudo init 3" | 11:16 |
| Nelson_Apart | ok ikonia | 11:16 |

| Nelson_Apart | ikonia, i expect X would be disabled | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: not at run level 3 | 11:17 |
| NET||abuse | ok, i have located my drive, i have swap of /dev/sda1, main drive, / => /dev/sda2, so now there is just a /dev/sdb so do i have to partition this drive? then mount it to a location such as /media/backup, then configure a big rsync job to mirror the whole /dev/sda1 drive? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: X runs at run level 3 on ubuntu | 11:17 |

| NET||abuse | sorry, i'll be mirroring /dev/sda2, not 1 as that's swap | 11:17 |

| babolat | !sound | linuXXX_grl | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: X is enabled v by default at run level 2 and on wards | 11:18 |
| ubottu | linuXXX_grl: 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).

| BB88 | Hello. I am Ubuntu 8.04, and ever since some security updates yesterday, my NTFS partition will not be mounted on startup, and when I try to mount it, it says I do not have the privilege to do so? | 11:18 |

| cube_ | perlmonkey, np and its "camorama -d /dev/video0" not /dev/video :) | 11:19 |

| ikonia | Nelson_Apart: I'll explain it again. X is enabled at run level 2 onwards, so unless you want to use single user mode (run level 1) you'll need to disable/remove X from run level 2 onwards | 11:20 |

| kuahara | I just created a secondary and tertiary partition. The secondary partition I am going to format NTFS and I want it to be accessible by both windows and ubuntu. The tertiary partion is 35GB and this is where I want to install Ubuntu. 2 questions. 1, what do I need to do to successfully setup the dual boot and 2, does the ext3 file format that I need to use in the third partition have to be formatted by a linux os? | 11:30 |
| nvGetPwrMzrLevel | BOOL nvGetPwrMzrLevel(OUT DWORD* pdwBatteryLevel, | 11:30 |

| xukun | DistroJockey, babolat thnaks guys | 11:30 |
| perlmonkey | nuff time wasted. buy a new cam? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | kuahara: you should install ext3 from linux %100 | 11:30 |
| DistroJockey | xukun, you're welcome | 11:30 |
| aaron_ | hello fellow Ubuntu community :) | 11:30 |
| ikonia | kuahara: you should only install ubuntu onto the ext3 partition (just to be clear) | 11:30 |
| aaron_ | Nelson, you should use runlevel 3 if you dont want X | 11:30 |
| kuahara | thats the only thing I can do with the ext3 partition as I don't think windows can even read it | 11:31 |
| aaron_ | sortudo_78: sorry if I am just jumping in, but have you tried "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" then "sudo dhclient eth0"? | 11:31 |
| SabreWolfy | Question -- Xubuntu 8.04 login screen resolution is different to resolution when logged in; when logged in I've set it to 1024x768 which I want; login screen uses the "default" which is not what I want; no numerical values in xorg.conf so no idea where it gets "default" from; how can I sort it ? | 11:31 |
| interzone | Hi, I enabled nvidia in restricted drivers, does this mean that my graphics card is good and being used? | 11:31 |
| kuahara | but as long as the ext3 partition is a primary partition, I should be given the option to dual boot when I start the pc, correct? | 11:31 |
| case_ | kuahara, the best strategy is to let the 35gB space as "free" and let the ubuntu installer do the ext3 partition in this space... | 11:31 |
| ikonia | aaron_: his cable is dead | 11:31 |
| starcannon | xim_ coolbits is something that seems to help, google around on that a bit, I'm doing a server install at the same time here, and will look more into this later, but that keyword should help you progress | 11:31 |

| nvGetPwrMzrLevel | thanks very much for any interest in my problem btw, starcannon | 11:32 |

| case_ | kuahara, if you install ubuntu after windows, it will detect the windows system and set up the dual boot acordingly (thanks to Grub) | 11:32 |

| tech0007 | Nevstah: 'sudo dpkg –force-remove-reinstreq –remove mailscanner' | 11:32 |
| kuahara | I used partition magic and created all 3 partitions before installing windows, but after I installed windows it deemed the 2nd ntfs part and the ext3 part as 100% unallocated space | 11:33 |
| babolat | kuahara: u might already know, but ext3 isnt natively supported by a Windows install just so u know and not get surprised ;) | 11:33 |

| case_ | ghaith, you can try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 11:33 |
| perlmonkey | interesting | 11:33 |
| ghis | iam using 2 monitors sony vaio laptop... hardy | 11:33 |
| ikonia | kuahara: install windows - create 1 partition, leaving blank space. Create the other 2 partitions during the ubuntu install | 11:33 |
| ikonia | kuahara: I assure you that will be the most straight forward way | 11:33 |
| case_ | kuahara, also you probably want to have a swap partition for ubuntu... | 11:33 |
| perlmonkey | cube_ ekiga (soft phone) says Error while opening video device /dev/.static/dev/video0 | 11:34 |

| anabolix | ghis: cause i had the problem with 7.04 and it screwed things up... by any chance did you try your monitors with 7.04? | 11:34 |
| babolat | kuahara: best thing is to let Ubuntu handle its own partitions | 11:34 |
| kuahara | I didn't know ubuntu would automatically take care of the dual boot though | 11:34 |
| kuahara | thats nice to know | 11:34 |
| Nevstah | tech0007: will do | 11:34 |

| ikonia | ronybeck: what is "virt-manager" ? | 11:35 |
| anabolix | ghis: are they in the universe repositories? | 11:35 |

| ronybeck | ikonia, what ever won you have installed. KVM or qemu | 11:36 |
| kuahara | also, what happens when I use ubuntu to save linux files to the ntfs partition. When I open that partition in windows, is it going to harm the files in any way? Will they just show up as unrecognized files? | 11:36 |
| nvGetPwrMzrLevel | i messed w/ stuff and *once* got the powermizer level to change to level 2 (vs usual 3) | 11:36 |
| ronybeck | ikonia, it isn't there because you didn't install it yet. | 11:37 |
| nvGetPwrMzrLevel | then rebooting to see if things stuck, it didn't... no change to xorg | 11:37 |
| ikonia | ronybeck: I know, thats why I asked you what it was for | 11:37 |

| jpastore | is there anyway to bring back the ipw3945 driver for my wireless card because the new driver is just now working | 12:19 |
| Jafet | martinjh99, I used to do that back in the time I booted off an external disk; the problem with that is that you have to manually edit the configuration every time your system regrades. | 12:19 |
| jpastore | even with the live cd | 12:19 |
| zcat[1] | not sure, but when I used to use nfs, if the serving machine went rebooted, the share wouldn't come back and everything accessing it would hang forever rather than just erroring out. | 12:20 |
| Jafet | martinjh99, or you end up booting the wrong kernel and things happen, like your resolution getting reset to 640x480. | 12:20 |
| zcat[1] | so now I just use samba.. also if someone comes around here with a windows machine they can plug in and get to my shared folders right away. | 12:20 |

| Jafet | Nyad, I see two sets on instructions; which did you follow? | 12:26 |

| Nyad | jtravnick: you said that the site explains how to remove it, where did you see it? | 12:32 |

| G00_VY | hello all :) | 12:33 |

| Outlander | I've set the root password on my newly installed Ubuntu 8.04 system. It appears to have altered the sudo system so that I cannot run Synaptic from the menu. What would definitive answer be for this? | 12:33 |

| jrib | Outlander: There's no need to set a root password... | 12:34 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: It shouldn't have made any difference at all. How did you set it? | 12:34 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: and also 'why'?! | 12:34 |
| Outlander | i used sudo to set it ;) sudo passwd <-- like that | 12:34 |
| freddy_engels | QuickGold: I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the way you do it is replace "smbfs" with "cifs" | 12:34 |
| QuickGold | freddy_engels: one sec, let me give it a shot | 12:34 |
| dns53 | the first user becomes the sudo user, if you have a second user it will not be able to sudo | 12:34 |
| Outlander | dns53: the first user becomes the sudo user after a password change? | 12:35 |
| QuickGold | freddy_engels: I tried this command: sudo mount -t cifs //nas1/Replication/linux/lamp1 /etc/lamp1 | 12:35 |
| freddy_engels | and? | 12:35 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: yes | 12:35 |

| tech0007 | Nyad: found an uninstall script, u can try this https://player.helixcommunity.org/files/2005/downloads/uninst.sh | 12:36 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: WHY?!!! | 12:36 |
| Outlander | ok so root is now the sudo user rather than my user account? | 12:36 |
| freddy_engels | what is the entry in /etc/fstab? | 12:36 |
| jrib | Outlander: no | 12:36 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: I'm not sure you've done what you think you've done at all.. | 12:36 |
| dns53 | no when you first install it is put in the admin group, then after that you need to add the other users to the admin group if you want them to be able to sudo | 12:36 |
| Outlander | the idea was to change the root password, by running the passwd command "as root" | 12:37 |
| zcat[1] | and I'm going to lmao if you've done what I think you've done | 12:37 |
| QuickGold | freddy_engels: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m44c3bce9 | 12:37 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: there is no root password | 12:37 |
| zcat[1] | !root | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:37 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: why do you want to change it | 12:37 |
| Outlander | sudo passwd <-- then enter the new "root" password, is exactly what I believed I did. | 12:37 |
| beebeentu | Hi all, I just tried to install HH and it starts to format my partitions and then my screen gets disabled/turned off. Rebooting/shutting down doesn't bring it back. I have to turn the machine off for a while 30mins before I can turn it on and get the monitor back. Any ideas??? I did md5 check and the iso was good | 12:37 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: but WHY? | 12:37 |
| jrib | Outlander: there is no root password by default. You use sudo to do things that require superuser privileges. sudo only works for users in the "admin" group (which the first user is part of by default). sudo uses your user's password | 12:38 |
| dns53 | if you really want a root you can just sudo passwd to change the root password | 12:38 |
| Pici | !noroot | 12:38 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 12:38 |

| Outlander | dns53: i did just sudo passwd, that's what causes synaptic to give the error message | 12:39 |
| QuickGold | kk | 12:39 |
| Outlander | so as my user, from the menu running synaptic (or other admin apps) i get the error | 12:40 |
| beebeentu | babolat: anythiing in particular you want to know? I have to go start it up again to check | 12:40 |
| dns53 | what error message? | 12:40 |
| Outlander | ok so how do i reverse the problem I have caused by doing "sudo passwd" and setting a password ? | 12:41 |
| doug_ | Outlander: you want to be root for ever? or what you trying to do with root? | 12:41 |
| Outlander | "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file" | 12:41 |
| babolat | beebeentu, before anything will u be able to boot into the live cd again? | 12:41 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: well, that should not have caused the problem... although I still would not recommend setting a root password unless you have a very specific idea of why you need it (and if you know what you're doing, you'll see that even then you actually don't need it!) | 12:41 |
| Outlander | well just wanted my root password set, i realise this was a futile exercise now of course | 12:41 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: what were you trying to achieve with trying to change the password? | 12:41 |
| Outlander | haha | 12:41 |
| beebeentu | babolat: not following you there? | 12:41 |
| Myrtti | aha | 12:41 |
| anthonytiger | hej | 12:41 |
| beebeentu | babolat: can you say that in another way? | 12:41 |
| anthonytiger | hej där | 12:42 |
| Outlander | I feel dirty using sudo, I usually su to root then do stuff.... ;) | 12:42 |
| Outlander | so to su to root, you'll need to know the password.... | 12:42 |
| babolat | beebeentu, can you BOOT into the LiveCD ?? | 12:42 |
| babolat | o_O | 12:42 |
| dns53 | i sudo su myself | 12:42 |
| beebeentu | Yes | 12:42 |
| Outlander | so that's how i got to where i am...i'm after help reversing it | 12:42 |
| Outlander | :) | 12:42 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: alias su="sudo -i" ;) | 12:42 |
| Pici | Outlander: You can use sudo -i to get into an interactive 'root' session | 12:42 |
| anthonytiger | hej på är | 12:42 |
| beebeentu | babolat: Yes I have tried to install it twice | 12:42 |
| Myrtti | Outlander, dns53: sudo -i | 12:42 |
| Outlander | cool :) | 12:43 |
| francky | join #3il | 12:43 |
| beebeentu | babolat: I'll go try it again | 12:43 |
| babolat | beebeentu, ok.. shoot me with what your graphics card is.. and we'll look if there are known issues | 12:43 |
| doug_ | Outlander: in other words your root password is what u type when you do sudo .if you want to be root for one whole sudo session then i sugest this sudo -i it gives u root for one session till u close the terminal but u will be back to user when u re open the term. | 12:43 |
| Outlander | i used to just do "su -" | 12:43 |
| dns53 | well you should use sudo -s | 12:43 |
| Outlander | doug_: ok cool thanks | 12:43 |
| Myrtti | Outlander: that's past tense now | 12:43 |
| Myrtti | :-D | 12:43 |

| zcat[1] | Outlander: setting the root password should not have caused your problem though. You must have done something more than just setting the root password | 12:43 |
| naught101 | should ALL firmware reside in /lib/firmware/'uname -r'? | 12:43 |
| naught101 | or does it depend on the driver? | 12:44 |
| dns53 | well s sets the shell up | 12:44 |
| Pici | dns53: It depends on whether you want to use your users or root's env variables. | 12:44 |
| Outlander | zcat[1]: finally, progress...ok well other stuff ive done are: install the infernal citrix client and uninstall it and install it again | 12:44 |
| jrib | Outlander: it sounds like a permission issue. Pastebin the output of ls -l ~/.*authority | 12:44 |
| doug_ | Outlander: if you want to be root for ever well uh *not recommended* there is a way to do it. but ubuntu goes through so much to keep you out of ROOT. | 12:44 |
| babolat | beebeentu, i highly suspect that yours is a graphics card issue. try booting into the LiveCD via safe graphics mode | 12:44 |
| jrib | dns53: -i is safer as it resets your environment | 12:44 |
| Outlander | outlander@Vanguard:~$ ls -l ~/.*authority | 12:45 |
| Outlander | -rw------- 1 outlander outlander 328 2008-05-07 18:15 /home/outlander/.ICEauthority | 12:45 |
| Outlander | -rw------- 1 outlander outlander 119 2008-05-07 18:15 /home/outlander/.Xauthority | 12:45 |
| beebeentu | babolat: on second thoughts... I can no longer bootup because now the splash screen with the install/bootup options comes up for a second and then the screen turns off. | 12:45 |
| Outlander | doug_: I understand. It's just the way I've always done it, I have no problems doing it the "right" way in future | 12:45 |
| babolat | beebeentu, it just disappears? | 12:45 |
| Outlander | sorry, what's Pastbin ? | 12:45 |
| babolat | !paste | 12:45 |
| 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) | 12:45 |
| Outlander | too easy ;) | 12:46 |
| doug_ | Outlander: let me see if i can pull up the code for all time root if you really want it. | 12:46 |
| Nyad | It appears the problem was not realplayer. All of my video files come out as blue | 12:46 |
| beebeentu | babolat: the laptop monitor goes off as though the machine is turned off | 12:46 |
| Outlander | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10724/plain/ :) | 12:46 |
| doug_ | Nyad: what is wrong with your vids? | 12:46 |
| zcat[1] | doug_ : you do, and you're his sole support person for all future issues he might have... | 12:46 |
| mib_t0s2c5 | Hello, is there anyone help me with my C program? | 12:46 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: video card? | 12:46 |
| Outlander | doug_: I don't really need it, sudo should do anything I need...I just "wanted" it but realise now that I don't need it. | 12:46 |
| babolat | beebeentu, do u happen to know what your graphics card is, off hand? | 12:46 |
| mib_t0s2c5 | command: gcc DNS.c result: undefined reference to `__res_query' | 12:47 |
| beebeentu | ati | 12:47 |
| Nyad | nvidia | 12:47 |
| doug_ | zcat[1]: uh no i wont as i stated i wont have nothing to do with it. only guide him to it. | 12:47 |
| Nyad | 8800GT | 12:47 |
| beebeentu | babolat: ati x1600 | 12:47 |
| mib_t0s2c5 | too many undefineds | 12:47 |
| babolat | beebeentu, a'right thanks. one moment | 12:47 |
| doug_ | Nyad: you have a nvidia card? | 12:47 |
| david__-- | can someone please help with wireless internet connect on hardy,ive managed to fix everything else,this is the only thing left thats being stubborn | 12:48 |
| Nyad | yes. nvidia 8800GT. everything was fine yesterday | 12:48 |
| lesshaste | how do I download the package for linux-headers-`uname -r` ? | 12:48 |
| zcat[1] | doug: my general attitude is to steer people to the 'safe' way of doing things... if they want to do silly things they can figure it out for themselves (and with luck, they'll learn enough along the way to know why it's actually silly and they shouldn't do it..) | 12:48 |
| doug_ | Nyad: i had a prob simular to urs once let me dig up the old post i had and Nyad there is a way to install ur nvidia drivers if u dont have them installed. | 12:48 |
| lesshaste | I was hoping sudo apt-get -d install linux-headers-`uname -r` would do it | 12:48 |
| Outlander | zcat[1]: so you mentioned that doing sudo passwd should not cause this issue: "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file" ? | 12:48 |
| babolat | beebeentu, u're sure you don't have a bad burn right? | 12:49 |
| lesshaste | but it doesn't download it as it is already installed | 12:49 |
| Outlander | how do I understand what this error means and resolve it? | 12:49 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: try changing the video driver in preferences | 12:49 |
| anthonytiger | hej hu funkar den här skiten | 12:49 |
| beebeentu | babolat: Hmmm. Can I check that with md5 too? Or is there another tool to check it with | 12:49 |
| tech0007 | !se | anthonytiger | 12:49 |
| ubottu | anthonytiger: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se | 12:49 |
| Nyad | doug_: I have them installed. before I installed Realplayer all was well. now its all blue | 12:49 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: yes. Just setting a root password should not cause that. I don't know what does. | 12:49 |
| babolat | beebeentu, md5 is for verifying the ISO's integrity.. verify DATA was properly burned onto the disk via ur burning app | 12:50 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: also try disabling compiz before you play ur videos | 12:50 |
| doug_ | ny take a look at this and see if its kinda the same thing you have. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=511746 | 12:50 |
| doug_ | Nyad: ^^ | 12:50 |
| Nyad | no compiz on my pc | 12:50 |
| Outlander | ok cool. the only other things i was doing was setting permissions on /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts | 12:50 |
| Outlander | so that it could be read by my regular user | 12:51 |
| Outlander | and i ran the citrix uninstall script provided with the citrix client which did who knows what | 12:51 |
| umangme | Hi, I had a question. After upgrading to 8.04 Thunderbird would quit by itself when I clicked Attach while composing a mail. I couldn't always reproduce this. I tried to upgrade nautilus from Synaptic, and now I can't reproduce it. Does this mean that I'm not likely to have the same error again? | 12:51 |
| babolat | beebeentu, will u be able to do that? | 12:51 |
| Outlander | i can still sudo from the command line as my user,etc | 12:51 |
| beebeentu | babolat: I don't know how to check it now but I'll try reburning it more slowly and I'll try to use verification too. Cheers | 12:52 |
| Outlander | the difference being, from the command line it prompts me for my password | 12:52 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: try Xv, gl2 or ximage as video driver in preferences | 12:52 |
| beebeentu | babolat: I'm just worried that the monitor has packed it in. I doubt it's HH | 12:52 |
| umangme | Also, What does the number after "ubuntu" in the version number in Synpatic mean? e.g. nautilus is 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu5. What's the 5? | 12:52 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: so the problem is gksu picking up your Xauthority ... I suspect just logging out and back in might be enough to fix it | 12:52 |
| Nyad | in Realplayer preferences? | 12:52 |
| babolat | beebeentu, do we happen to be talking about one of those older-than-should-be laptops? | 12:53 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: nope in mplayer | 12:53 |
| Outlander | zcat: I read that solution somewhere actually... | 12:53 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: i think u can only uncheck Xv in realplayer | 12:53 |
| doug_ | Nyad: did you look at the link i gave u? | 12:53 |
| umangme | ? | 12:53 |
| doug_ | tech0007: the link i gave him explains it more or less. | 12:53 |
| Nyad | yes | 12:53 |
| burasa | I changed my userid and groupid then changed them back to 1000... the most weird thing is that when I join a group then run id $USER, I am not part of the group. When I check the group file, I am listen as a member. | 12:53 |
| Outlander | zcat[1]: so setting root's password would cause this issue then? as it could have tinkered with sudo related config files? | 12:54 |
| freddy_engels | QuickGold: Sorry for the wait. Can you try editing your /etc/fstab file so that /dev/hda1 is of the type "smbfs" instead of "ntfs"? | 12:54 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: I'm lazy.. I never really understood how Xauthority works. But I think it generates tokens when you first log in.. logging out and back in should regerate them | 12:54 |
| Outlander | got it | 12:54 |
| freddy_engels | and then re-try the command you were using earlier | 12:54 |
| QuickGold | freddy_engels: I solved it. I used an ip address instead of the name and it worked | 12:55 |
| QuickGold | thanks for the help | 12:55 |
| Outlander | any way to do that from the command line or without logging back out and in? should i go read about Xauthority? | 12:55 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: Not sure how they'd have got messed up. I'm sure just setting a root password wouldn't do it. | 12:55 |
| doug_ | QuickGold: you trying to mount your ntfs partition with read/write? | 12:55 |
| Nyad | ok now realplayer no longer has smurfs walking around, but now kaffeine still has them | 12:55 |
| QuickGold | doug_: yes | 12:55 |
| doug_ | QuickGold: there is a simple easy way let me get the link | 12:55 |
| tech0007 | Nyad: sorry i dont use kaffeine, but look in preferences | 12:56 |
| QuickGold | doug_: cool, thanks | 12:56 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: well, that might help. I never bothered figuring it out too much. I know how to turn all the xauth off so I can launch windows from anywhere without having to use ssh -X :) | 12:56 |
| doug_ | QuickGold: its for feisty but works in all i have it in hardy and works great. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/widows-ntfs-partitions-readwrite-support-made-easy-in-ubuntu-feisty.html | 12:56 |
| Outlander | hehe :) thanks for your help everyone :) | 12:56 |
| QuickGold | doug_: thanks but Im doing this in a CLI not a GUI | 12:57 |
| Outlander | i'll try a few things and will log off and on again and see how that goes | 12:57 |
| Outlander | any way to set my root password to nothing again? to reverse the change i made? | 12:57 |
| beebeentu | babolat: just a quick question though... if the machine has had edgy, feisty and gutsy without problems is it likely to be hardy heron? | 12:57 |
| zcat[1] | QuickGold: mount /dev/sdwhatever /mountpoint -t ntfs-3g | 12:57 |
| doug_ | QuickGold: oh, ok that i do not know how to do sorry. | 12:57 |
| QuickGold | zcat[1]: Thank you | 12:58 |
| zcat[1] | QuickGold: and perhaps some options like -o umask=0 | 12:58 |
| zcat[1] | (that should give read/write access to all users) | 12:58 |
| QuickGold | zcat[1]: Thank you | 12:59 |
| umangme | I'll repeat my question as it seems to have got buried pretty fast. | 12:59 |
| babolat | beebeentu, all those previous versions with no hitch, probably hardy installation is at fault, or that the hardy ISO simple didnt burn right | 12:59 |
| umangme | Hi, I had a question. After upgrading to 8.04 Thunderbird would quit by itself when I clicked Attach while composing a mail. I couldn't always reproduce this. I tried to upgrade nautilus from Synaptic, and now I can't reproduce it. Does this mean that I'm not likely to have the same error again? | 12:59 |
| beebeentu | babolat: Thanks... I'm trying a better burn now | 13:00 |
| tech0007 | umangme: run thunderbird from terminal and capture the output when it shuts down | 13:00 |
| zcat[1] | tech0007: well if the bug has been fixed, he can't now :) | 13:00 |
| umangme | tech0007: I can't seem to get the error now. | 13:00 |
| fabian__ | hi | 13:00 |
| umangme | Any thing I should try to reproduce it? | 13:00 |
| mohamed_ | jatt: i hope you r here i still face troubles wih pptp client , i use two method to configure it but without success the manual method rise this error and i don't know where i configure to use wlan ,... http://phpfi.com/315186 | 13:01 |
| zcat[1] | umangme: sounds like it was segfaulting or something.. and perhaps you picked up an update that fixed it, hard to tell really. If it happens again, run tb from a shell and it should give you an idea what's going wrong | 13:01 |
| umangme | Thanks. | 13:02 |
| zcat[1] | actually isn't the crashdump thing supposed to pick these things up? | 13:02 |
| umangme | (Thanks to both, zcat[1] and tech0007) | 13:02 |
| evaimitico | hi! is it possible to install ubuntu server 8.04 directly on a fakeraid 1 (i have intel ICH7R) ? if yes, how? | 13:02 |
| * ApOgEE- balik umah.. bye | 13:03 | |
| umangme | Also, What does the number after "ubuntu" in the version number in Synpatic mean? e.g. nautilus is 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu5. What's the 5? | 13:03 |
| zcat[1] | evaimitico: turn off anything raid-related in your conteoller, and do a software raid install from the alternative or server CD | 13:03 |
| umangme | What does the number after "ubuntu" in the version number in Synpatic mean? e.g. nautilus is 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu5. What's the 5? | 13:04 |
| zcat[1] | dmraid or 'fake raid' is just software raid with a few of the disadvantages of hardware raid, none of the advantages, and a few extra problems unique to propriatory non-free drivers | 13:04 |
| anthonytiger | hi | 13:05 |
| evaimitico | zcat[1], so i must delete existent array to complete the installation? i have tried to install a linux sw raid, but installation stopped. I suppose it doesn't like the existent array... | 13:05 |
| KRF | umangme, i think it counts the revisions made by packagers | 13:05 |
| evaimitico | thanks zcat[1] | 13:05 |
| umangme | KRF: Thanks! | 13:06 |
| umangme | :) | 13:06 |
| anthonytiger | llsl | 13:06 |
| zcat[1] | evaimitico: basically, turn off averything in the controller remotely to do with raid so that it treast your drives as just two independent drives.. then let the installer set up software raid. It'll work out much better | 13:06 |
| evaimitico | zcat[1], thanks i'll try! | 13:07 |
| Dark-Fx | software raid > fakeraid | 13:07 |
| Traveler18 | Hi, anyone who can help me install a memtest program? Got OS: Xubuntu | 13:07 |
| anthonytiger | hej | 13:08 |
| slyboots | Anyone know much about getting a Apple remote working in Hardy Heron? | 13:08 |
| zcat[1] | Yeah.. fake raid is basically software raid with the device-dependence of hardware raid and the added 'bonus' of non-free drivers | 13:08 |
| Traveler18 | or just a help me to find out what memory i got in my computer | 13:08 |
| slyboots | I had it working, but somehow I've broken in | 13:08 |
| zcat[1] | basically it sucks bigtime | 13:08 |
| slyboots | I can see the apple reciever in /dev/ and if I run cat it seems to be acceping input from the remote | 13:08 |
| slyboots | But I cant get it to do anything in lirc or X | 13:09 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: sot sudo? | 13:09 |
| zcat[1] | *got sudo? | 13:09 |
| Outlander | ok another clue to why I was getting that problem, somehow my user was unable to write to /tmp | 13:09 |
| DaveG| | hey, for some reason, every now and again, pidgin and firefox 3 seem to become unintteruptible and just randomly freeze. it happens both on my desktop (7.10) and my laptop (8.04). common things running on them are: scim, system monitor applet, music applet, compiz, firefox 3, pidgin with alternative msn protocol | 13:09 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: ahhh.. that would be a problem :) | 13:10 |
| Outlander | lol | 13:10 |
| Outlander | /tmp was set to 744 for some reason | 13:10 |
| Outlander | i made it 777 which got me back into X but probably isn't the best setting? | 13:10 |
| Outlander | what's the perms of /tmp supposed to be? | 13:10 |
| doug_ | DaveG|: mine do same thing sometimes. still trying to figure out how to fix it. | 13:10 |
| Traveler18 | Does anyone got a fast way to know what ram meomry i got in my comp? | 13:11 |
| zcat[1] | drwxrwxrwt 17 root root 832 2008-05-07 22:39 tmp -- 777 | 13:11 |
| Outlander | ok cool | 13:11 |
| doug_ | DaveG|: if u get tired of pidgin locking up go to www.meebo.com | 13:11 |
| DaveG| | doug_, strange... it's really ... peeing me off | 13:11 |
| Outlander | mine's 777 and everything works | 13:11 |
| DaveG| | doug_, not sure what is the problem exactly so | 13:11 |
| DaveG| | just liek you | 13:11 |
| DaveG| | so =/ | 13:11 |
| slyboots | I swear I think Im going to snap x.x | 13:12 |
| zcat[1] | Outlander: that would probably explain the gksu problem too.. likely it tries to make tmp files | 13:12 |
| DaveG| | doug_, do you have the same kinda things running too? | 13:12 |
| * smmagic gives slyboots some glue | 13:12 | |
| slyboots | I dont get why this has broken, it was fucking working | 13:12 |
| Outlander | yeah | 13:12 |
| doug_ | DaveG|: nope just pidgin by it self. and ff by it self | 13:12 |

| nainef | ok cause I was considering using it.... but now I'll keep that in mind | 13:14 |
| slyboots | Anyone any idea what I could check to see where the problem might be? | 13:14 |
| DaveG| | nainef, it's good, but they never listend to me when i bitched about it not having good msn support | 13:14 |
| Soilwork | are there any commands to show what types of ram i got? | 13:15 |
| DaveG| | so that's why i use the alternative msn plugin | 13:15 |
| lesshaste | how do you start wireless from the command line? | 13:15 |
| nainef | don't they reverse engineer msn protocol to make the plugin? | 13:15 |

| * nainef is curious.... | 13:17 | |
| DaveG| | doug_, for some reason i think it's something to do with the update manager | 13:17 |
| DaveG| | nainef, well that alternative msn plugin for pidgin is good | 13:17 |
| slyboots | Or am Im going to have to just format and install from bloody scratch | 13:17 |

| zcat[1] | DaveG|: you might not even know.. but sometime later you'll try to upgrade and it just won't work, or it will break, because automatix has done some silly thing that package management doesn't expect | 13:24 |

| naught101 | anyone having trouble with broadcom wireless in the last week or so? | 13:26 |
| John117 | doug_ I'm a tool and i didn't save the link you sent me yesterday. (I did reboot and do a checkdisk btw and it didni't fix it.) | 13:26 |
| naught101 | I mean, more than usual? | 13:26 |

| bazhang | slyboots, what is the issue? | 13:27 |
| John117 | doug_ thanks man.. | 13:27 |
| DaveG| | gordonjcp, i didn't notice any of that | 13:27 |
| DaveG| | gordonjcp, and this IS IRC after all | 13:27 |
| doug_ | John117: yw. i have it bookmarked and sent to my email | 13:28 |
| slyboots | bazhang, installed ubuntu and trying to get my Apple remote to work, followed the guide and edited the source-file for the modules and managed to get it to work | 13:28 |
| slyboots | After the first reboot its just totaly stopped working | 13:28 |
| gordonjcp | DaveG|: yes, it's IRC, a primarily textual environment | 13:28 |
| Pici | !lol | DaveG| (see also !u) | 13:28 |
| ubottu | DaveG| (see also !u): Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 13:28 |
| slyboots | the device sems to be okay (if I run cat /dev..) I can see input from the remote but thats about all I can get | 13:28 |

| bazhang | naught101, no need to use that terminology thanks | 13:30 |
| naught101 | haha. oh the irony. sorry for being off-topic bazhang | 13:30 |
| DaveG| | gordonjcp, ok, but they'll end up learning omg and lol eventually | 13:30 |
| gordonjcp | atoz: you're probably better just installing Joomla from source | 13:30 |
| bazhang | slyboots, I understand your frustration; took me two weeks to get wireless going on a pcmcia card | 13:31 |
| bazhang | naught101, an over-reaction on my part--that word just jumped out at me | 13:31 |
| slyboots | IIm thinking of just getting rid of it, wireless does not work either despite following the guide, and if I so much as look at my trackpad it goes mental | 13:31 |

| moepman | how do i get rid of compiz in hern? | 14:04 |
| joako | and it works | 14:04 |
| bazhang | joako, those should be in the madwifi drivers by now | 14:04 |
| mad_at_wifi | hi all. I have a brand new WD 500 Caviar Western Digital HDD and this one is taking over 30mins to format to ext3 (465GB ). It is still not done but how long do these formats typicall take? | 14:04 |
| bazhang | moepman, alt f2 metacity --replace | 14:04 |
| bazhang | mad_at_wifi, give it a bit longer | 14:05 |
| masaca | i have a problem | 14:05 |
| bazhang | hi Jack_Sparrow :) | 14:05 |
| babolat | MOras, how did you burn your ISO image, as data cd or as an ISO image? | 14:05 |
| mad_at_wifi | bazhang, okay.. It took 1hr btw | 14:05 |
| masaca | the x has gone in gnome | 14:05 |
| sortudo_78 | jako, tkans but frist i need to download some dependecies in the atheros ar5007eg processes, i have the driver on my machine but i cant download the dependencies, without thise dependecies the driver did not work !! | 14:06 |
| Dr_willis | mad_at_wifi, odd.. I was thinking formating ext3 500gb - just took a few mins on my box. | 14:06 |
| masaca | who can help me? | 14:06 |
| bazhang | mad_at_wifi, that kindof thing you dont want to interrupt if possible | 14:06 |
| MOras | ISO of course, I can see in the first minutes the logo Ubuntu then nothing | 14:06 |
| ldiamond | I have a driver that makes my ubuntu hang at bootup, how do I disable/blacklist/delete that driver (I can access the hard drive from a ubuntu VM). | 14:06 |
| shinn816 | ni hao | 14:06 |

| shinn816 | jdfka | 14:06 |
| shinn816 | fdas | 14:06 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, have you tried the linux-restricted-modules yet | 14:06 |
| erUSUL | shinn816: stop | 14:06 |
| bazhang | !cn | shinn816 | 14:07 |

| gorthaug | hi, i've a laptop with an nvidia 6600, i'v installed the nvidia drivers that are in the repositories... but my tty don't work.. | 14:07 |
| masaca | in gnome mode when i start firefox or other programms there is no button to end it | 14:07 |
| MOras | I have tried w/ 7.10 & 8.4 | 14:07 |
| Lo_Pan | /ws 79 | 14:07 |
| mad_at_wifi | bazhang, Dr_willis I did not interrupt it. It just took 1:04 hr to finish the format and I thought that it was very odd considering that formating my other 250GB HDD took just around 10mins | 14:07 |
| babolat | MOras, and u are sure that your livecd isn't a bad burn? | 14:07 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: what is that, i did not try that !!! | 14:07 |
| bazhang | shinn816, /join #ubuntu-cn | 14:07 |
| trisa | hiii | 14:07 |
| shinn816 | #ubuntu_tw | 14:07 |
| MOras | twice I have checked | 14:07 |
| Dr_willis | mad_at_wifi, very odd.. | 14:07 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, that is the restricted-modules for your kernel | 14:07 |
| John117 | Does anything in ubuntu work like its supposed to? I'm trying to install SAMBA and it asks to put in the Ubuntu CD and press enter. I DID that and it won't recognize it. I can browse the disk and everything. It works fine from "Computer" | 14:08 |
| fnord__ | Oi! should fiesty be crawling on a computer that has 256 ram and 1.5g? ive never seen *buntu be this slow before :( | 14:08 |

| sortudo_78 | bazhank, could you help me trying that ??? | 14:08 |
| masaca | WILL SOMEBODY HELKP ME???? | 14:08 |
| mad_at_wifi | masaca, no one will jump up in joy to help you. You should just shoot a question and you will eventually get an answer. | 14:08 |
| babolat | MOras, try booting the LiveCD with no acpi option | 14:08 |
| Xcell | ask | 14:08 |
| bazhang | !helpme | masaca | 14:08 |
| ubottu | masaca: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 14:08 |
| masaca | I DID | 14:08 |
| masaca | OK | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | masaca Please do not repeat or shout. | 14:08 |
| ldiamond | I have a driver that makes my ubuntu hang at bootup, how do I disable/blacklist/delete that driver (I can access the hard drive from a ubuntu VM). | 14:09 |
| bazhang | masaca, you may get an answer in two minutes | 14:09 |
| bazhang | masaca, or maybe not | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | masaca Your problem is simple. you just lost your window decorator | 14:09 |
| masaca | WHEN I START A PROGRAMM IN GNOME THERE IS NO EXIT BUTTON ANYMORE | 14:09 |
| MOras | where and when can I do that? at the very beginning? by pressing F6 ? | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HI bazhang | 14:09 |
| jdavies | !caps | Jack_Sparrow | 14:09 |
| ubottu | Jack_Sparrow: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | masaca again. please do not shout | 14:10 |
| TheFourthOne | Anyone having issues with firefox turning grey and freezing? | 14:10 |
| bazhang | jdavies, :) | 14:10 |
| ryukun | moepman: you can look for an answer at nvnews.net | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | open a terminal window. | 14:10 |
| Dr_willis | mad_at_wifi, the badblocks command I think. :) | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | masaca | 14:10 |
| masaca | yes | 14:10 |
| mad_at_wifi | oops | 14:10 |
| babolat | TheFourthOne, you are not the first, bor the fourth to have that problem.. firefox 3 beta 5 has known stability issues | 14:10 |
| masaca | i did | 14:10 |
| sortudo_78 | I think the esyer way to get inetrnet connectio is to install PCMCIA moldules, could anybody help me installinh PCMCIA moldue ??? | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | masaca one sec.. | 14:10 |
| iuri | how to allow listening port 22 via ssh? | 14:10 |
| iuri | my box doesn;t accept ssh conections | 14:11 |
| TheFourthOne | I actually removed 3 and went to 2 and still have the issue | 14:11 |
| MOras | acpi = off, you mean that's not a video card problem ? but alimentation problem ? am I right ? | 14:11 |
| TomorrowAgain | I was looking through synaptic package manager and thought something, maybe someone here could answer this question... If I tried to un-installed synaptic from the synaptic package manager what would happen? | 14:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | masaca sorry try this... compiz --replace | 14:11 |
| babolat | TheFourthOne, which flashplugin do u have? | 14:11 |
| TheFourthOne | nonfree | 14:11 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules (for your kernel) uname -r will tell the correct ones | 14:11 |
| masaca | ok | 14:11 |
| mad_at_wifi | Dr_willis, I got this HDD as a replacement for the previous one (same model) that got bad sectors on the second of arrival. So I am a little presumptious right now about this model. | 14:12 |
| orionrobot1 | TomorrowAgain: funny question. I think you would quite simply barf your installation. | 14:12 |
| vsd | how do i connect through ftp? | 14:12 |
| babolat | MOras, if acpi off still fails, it probably is a graphics card problem | 14:12 |
| TomorrowAgain | haha | 14:12 |
| vsd | to my localhost? | 14:12 |
| TomorrowAgain | i thought so | 14:12 |
| mad_at_wifi | Dr_willis, I am using the badblocks command. Let's see how this goes | 14:12 |
| John117 | Does anything in ubuntu work like its supposed to? I'm trying to install SAMBA and it asks to put in the Ubuntu CD and press enter. I DID that and it won't recognize it. I can browse the disk and everything. It works fine from "Computer" | 14:12 |
| bazhang | TomorrowAgain, amusing but offtopic | 14:12 |
| babolat | TheFourthOne, turning off compiz while working in firefox might help | 14:12 |
| TomorrowAgain | sorry | 14:12 |
| ldiamond | I have a driver that makes my ubuntu hang at bootup, how do I disable/blacklist/delete that driver (I can access the hard drive from a ubuntu VM). | 14:12 |
| TheFourthOne | I have the turning gray part narrowed down to compiz because other programs do it as well, but firefox still freezes | 14:12 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: thaks, but unfourtunately i dont have any internet connection at the monent :((( | 14:12 |
| babolat | !who | TheFourthOne | 14:12 |
| ubottu | TheFourthOne: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:12 |
| orionrobot1 | Not really off topic - but would be a bad thing to do. | 14:13 |
| RandomCake | hi, I'm trying to get a dual boot system working, Ubuntu boots fine, but select the Windows XP and a load of gibberish is shown and nothing else, what's this mean? :S | 14:13 |
| MOras | babolat are there any problem w/ radeon HD2600 cards and ubuntu ? | 14:13 |
| Dr_willis | John117, lose the attitude a little bit. the cd is being asked for because its in your 'sources' remove the cd from the sources,, and it will grab the files off the internet. | 14:13 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, ah that is a problem then-->no way to get ethernet on that for a short time? | 14:13 |
| Dr_willis | John117, i do belive there has been some updates to samba since the official release. so you will want to get it from the internet anyway | 14:13 |
| babolat | MOras, not that i've heard of.. but i don't hear much. sorry but Google might be able to help u w/ that | 14:14 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: Yas, at the moment i am out of any network, wired or not :((( | 14:14 |
| bazhang | RandomCake, grub error or windows issue? | 14:15 |
| TheFourthOne | babolat: Thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot. | 14:15 |
| kelvin911 | how to compile GTKsee? | 14:15 |
| ldiamond | Does any1 here know how to disable/blacklist/delete a driver? | 14:15 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, you do have a wired connection available and it will not work? let us try and fix tht first then | 14:15 |
| iuri | does anyone know how to enable ssh access on ubuntu? | 14:15 |
| RandomCake | erm, can't really tell, bazhang it's imediately after I select windows from the Grub menu :S | 14:15 |
| orionrobot1 | Kelvin911 - is that not in the GTKsee docs? That is not really an ubuntu specific thing. | 14:16 |
| babolat | ldiamond, xorg.conf ?? | 14:16 |
| bazhang | RandomCake, what error message do you get | 14:16 |
| orionrobot1 | iuri: Look for openssh server in synaptic. | 14:16 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: It is Ok, lets try to fix wirede networ !!! | 14:16 |
| ricanelite | anyone here knows which runs faster? virtualbox or vmware? | 14:16 |
| GustavoImago | sortudo_78: brasileiro? | 14:16 |
| MOras | babolat in fact I have checked and i have found in the internet, on amd-ati' s website a linux driver, the extension is .run, would it be possible to run it during the installation | 14:16 |
| sortudo_78 | Sin, brasileiro | 14:16 |
| RandomCake | just the gibberish, no error message, stuff like $%^*& | 14:17 |
| === proteus_away is now known as proteusguy | ||
| orionrobot1 | ricablite: If performance is the key, which guest OS will you run? | 14:17 |
| GustavoImago | :) | 14:17 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, okay ;] connect the ethernet then open a terminal and type sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:17 |
| babolat | MOras, .run requires compiling.. i'm not really sure.. hey bazhang, sorry to interrupt... will one be able to compile under livecd session? | 14:17 |
| xintron | I tried to get my wireless to work but it wouldn't. I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D | 14:17 |
| orionrobot1 | ricablite: You may want to consider UML (User Mode Linux) instead. | 14:17 |
| corban_ | is there a channel for Ubuntu Server edition? | 14:17 |
| xintron | Does anyone know how I can get my Broadcome BCM4318 AirForece One to work? | 14:17 |
| kelvin911 | what GTKsee doc? | 14:18 |
| bazhang | babolat, unless he has some wild casper-rw multi session cd not likely :) | 14:18 |
| orionrobot1 | ricanelite: Sorry - I meant you - just couldnt spell... Depending on which OS you have as guest you may want to try UML (User Mode Linux) instead for performance. | 14:18 |
| CLEARviewF | MOras: why does your nick like that? | 14:18 |

| sortudo_78 | bazhang: DHCPDISCOVER !!! | 14:19 |
| bazhang | bogey-, not here please | 14:19 |
| corban_ | is it possible to set up Ubuntu server thru wireless only connection? | 14:19 |
| babolat | MOras, there u have it.. not likely.. thanks bazhang.. u might want to try acpi=off first MOras then compile than .run driver of yours when ubuntu is installed | 14:19 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, i just instelled the proper fwcutter package and my card like that one worked. | 14:19 |
| xintron | bazhang: I tried this way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D | 14:19 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, any offers? | 14:19 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: NODHCOOFFER !!! | 14:19 |
| ricanelite | well i want to install windows xp or vista on the virtual machine | 14:19 |
| orionrobot1 | corban_: Yes, but you will need a CD to seed it. | 14:19 |
| ricanelite | and im using Hardy | 14:19 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: ok, I started using ubuntu a few days ago so could you help me through this? | 14:19 |
| orionrobot1 | ricanelite: Then you will need VMware of Vbox, but neither will give you performance. | 14:20 |
| Dr_willis | !find bc | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Found: apt, apt-utils, bc, bcc, bcrelay (and 743 others) | 14:20 |
| MOras | babolat that's very kind of the you, you're the second one to advise me to turn off acpi, i think you are right. Many thanks | 14:20 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, well that is too bad but the good news is that your card can see the router; how are you connected right now to irc? | 14:20 |
| ricanelite | okay | 14:20 |
| orionrobot1 | Ricanelite: What would you use it for - it is not really suitable for games and stuff... | 14:20 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, i dont rember the name of the package it was lilke bc43-fwcutter | 14:20 |
| corban_ | a CD to seed it? | 14:20 |
| ricanelite | nah not games | 14:20 |
| corban_ | i don't quite understand | 14:20 |
| Dr_willis | !info bc43-fwcutter | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Package bc43-fwcutter does not exist in hardy | 14:20 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: No working leasses in persistent database --- sleeping !!! | 14:21 |
| ricanelite | i can't watch baseball games on mlb.com | 14:21 |
| ricanelite | using linux | 14:21 |
| orionrobot1 | corban_: Yup - so doing a complete install from wireless or net, you still need to start with a CD image. | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | ricanelite, yep. I hear that a lot in here. | 14:21 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: So I just download that package and it'll work then? | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, you USE the package manager to isntall things. | 14:21 |
| ricanelite | so i figure if I use vmware or vbox i could watch the games and still be in my linux desktop | 14:21 |
| corban_ | no what i mean | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, if you have no internet at all.. well.. that makes it harder. I would run a wire to get the packages | 14:21 |
| ricanelite | than rebooting into my windows machine | 14:21 |
| bazhang | sortudo_78, how are you connected right now? on a windows box or other | 14:22 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: I uninstalled the gnome-network-manager since the other tutorial said so, should I reinstall it? | 14:22 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: i did not tryed to reset my router, should i try that, my actual connection will be broken ???? | 14:22 |
| babolat | Dr_willis, the package manager technically downloads the packages still ;) | 14:22 |
| corban_ | i have the cd in the drive but once it is installed i want it to only be connected wirelessly | 14:22 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: and also remove the ndiswrapper? | 14:22 |
| orionrobot1 | corban_: that is not an issue. However, you may want to ensure your wireless hardware is okay. | 14:22 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, what tutorial? All i had to do get my wireless card going from a clean install was install that proper fwcutter package.. i dident need any tutorial. it was a 1 min install and it was done and working | 14:22 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D | 14:22 |
| djoko | hi im new in linux | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, that guide may be a bit old and not using the latest hardy release information | 14:23 |
| ryukun | hi djoko | 14:23 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: E: Couldn't find package bc43-fwcutter | 14:23 |
| sortudo_78 | bazhang: I am on my windows desktop connected at my router via wureless, and trying to connect my Ubuntu notebook at the Internet !!! | 14:23 |
| corban_ | well the card worked when it was in this PC should ubuntu server auto detect it? | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, i dont know the exact name search for 'fwcutter' in the package manager | 14:24 |
| ubuntu_ | Have I got it right? WIndows doesn't start correcty and I should run a virus test. So I can run ubuntu live cd, install avast to ita and scan the hd? | 14:24 |
| babolat | sortudo_78, give the exclamations a rest | 14:24 |
| djoko | gak iso boso jowo | 14:24 |

| xintron | Dr_willis: found it | 14:25 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, odd.. i see 2 matches there. :) | 14:25 |
| Dr_willis | you want the b43, not the bcm43 | 14:25 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: Which one, bcm or the other one? | 14:25 |

| bazhang | ubuntu_, avast is not on live cd | 14:26 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 14:26 |
| xintron | elea: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 14:26 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: I can install it | 14:26 |
| babolat | ubuntu_, probably not, coz u'll need the av packages installed. and as far as i know, livecd can't do that | 14:26 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, you can run one apt program/opackage manager at a time.. thats it. | 14:26 |
| odinsbane | Is there a way to tell if my netcard supports wpa encryption? | 14:26 |
| ubuntu_ | av? | 14:26 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, close out any others. | 14:26 |
| monkeyBox | How can I upgrade to the latest version of firefox? (ie, FF3.0pre) | 14:26 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, anti virus | 14:26 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: ah, didn't notice I was running another one | 14:26 |
| ubuntu_ | I just installed xchat from universe repos on livecd | 14:26 |
| ubuntu_ | i think they store to ram | 14:27 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, then give it a shot :) | 14:27 |
| mysterycool | What is a .so file? | 14:27 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: b43-fwcutter is already the newest version. | 14:27 |
| jimcooncat | I'm having trouble renaming files with the mv and rename commands -- is there a simpler one I can use to "rename S*.gif a*.gif"? | 14:28 |
| ubuntu_ | mysterycool: A library file | 14:28 |
| mysterycool | ubuntu_: Ok, thank you =] | 14:28 |
| MOras | I am now re-donwloading ubuntu, I was so upset that I've deleted the .iso, I will give it another try thanks to you | 14:28 |
| babolat | mysterycool, do u mean .iso? | 14:28 |
| ubuntu_ | mysterycool: Or soemthing like that. Flash is stored as .so and it's a firefox plugin | 14:28 |
| jimcooncat | MOras: maybe it's in your trash or recycle bin so you don't have to redownload. | 14:28 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, all i had to do to get my card working was install that package. (i may of rebooted afterwards) then ran the wireless config tool. | 14:28 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, you know where to find avast? | 14:28 |
| Vlet | I'm finding that with ny nvidia 8600 gts (binary driver) and dual screens (with compiz off) I'm getting a lot of artifacting when moving/resizing/opening windows. Anyone know why or know how to fix it for that matter? | 14:29 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: What wireless config tool? | 14:29 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, this was the first release of Ubujntu that my wireless actually worked. | 14:29 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, the normal gnome one. | 14:29 |
| mysterycool | ubuntu_: And are .so files only for Linux? | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang: Yes, already downloaded, btw I should have put my nickname, i'm really lartza__ | 14:29 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: Is there a way of scanning for wireless networks? | 14:29 |
| MOras | nope I have shift deleted it | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | mysterycool:I think so | 14:29 |
| bazhang | lartza_ hi! | 14:29 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, that tool scanned, I recall entering my ssid manually, since my wireless point dosent broadcast the ssie | 14:29 |
| case_ | mysterycool, most of unices use .so to name dynamic library, but linux .so only work on linux :) | 14:30 |
| ubuntu_ | :) | 14:30 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: I know there is a wireless where I am atm, but "sudo iwlist scan" returns "wlan0 No scan results | 14:30 |
| titusg | I can't set up wifi on my samsung laptop -- the network uses a wep hex key but all attempts to connect just seem to time out...any tips on where to start? | 14:30 |
| ubuntu_ | mysterycool: Explain about *.so files http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_library | 14:30 |
| ushimitsudoki | Vlet: twinview or Xinerama (xinerama performance may account for what you describe) | 14:30 |
| === selocol is now known as yimi | ||
| bazhang | titusg, any way to set to open for testing purposes? or do you know it works | 14:31 |
| Dr_willis | xintron, i dont use wireless much. Could be your other 'tweaking' goofed somthing up. Or could be your specific card/chipset has issues. could be the pase of the moon. :) | 14:31 |
| xintron | Dr_willis: haha :) | 14:31 |
| === yimi is now known as selocol | ||
| kelvin911 | how to compile a program? | 14:32 |
| titusg | bazhang: hi, yes it works for other boxes, one pc running gutsy (the laptop is hardy) | 14:32 |
| kelvin911 | do i need sudo ./configure ? | 14:32 |
| kelvin911 | sudo make | 14:32 |
| kelvin911 | sudo make install ? | 14:32 |
| lartza_ | kelvin911: Depends on program | 14:32 |
| kelvin911 | gtksee | 14:32 |
| lartza_ | kelvin911: In most cases you need to do make | 14:32 |
| lartza_ | wait | 14:32 |
| Vlet | ushimitsudoki: ahh... I switched to xinerama only because I found the bahavior of new dialog boxes opening split between the two monitors rather annoying :-/ | 14:32 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, you normally only need to sudo make isntall at the last. | 14:32 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, others do NOT need sudo | 14:32 |
| lartza_ | first ./configure | 14:33 |
| lartza_ | then make | 14:33 |
| mysterycool | ubuntu_: Hmm, k, thanks for the help! =] | 14:33 |
| lartza_ | then sudo make install | 14:33 |
| bazhang | titusg, this box ever connected wirelessy though? | 14:33 |
| kelvin911 | pls see http://www.pastebin.ca/1010516 | 14:33 |
| titusg | bazhang: no -- you think I should set it to open for a bit? | 14:33 |
| lartza_ | kelvin911: You find instructions from file called INSTALL in most cases | 14:33 |
| kelvin911 | only make install need sudo? | 14:33 |
| monkeyBox | Why hasn't ubuntu released any updates to FF yet? FF is already up to 3.0pre. 3.0b5 is still buggy | 14:33 |
| ushimitsudoki | Vlet: i can tell you when running Xinerama, I get much poorer performance than with TwinView or seperate X screens. Something to look at, perhaps | 14:34 |
| jaypro | there's a command to edit the display for twinview.... i cant remember what it is.... something like "nvidia-glx-config", but it doesnt work | 14:34 |
| jaypro | anyone know? | 14:34 |
| bazhang | titusg, what chipset is it; wep is not very secure you know--better to go with wpa/wpa2 if possible | 14:34 |
| lartza_ | kelvin911: ./configure, then make and then sudo make install | 14:34 |
| Dr_willis | ushimitsudoki, i noticed issues when using Twinview + xinerama at the same time. With Just TwinView - i rarely have any issues.. except for a few REALLY brain dead programs. | 14:34 |
| kelvin911 | do i need to put the source file to somewhere first ? | 14:34 |
| kelvin911 | or does it ask me where to install the porgram? | 14:35 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, you can compile from anywhaere. it dosetn matter | 14:35 |
| ushimitsudoki | Dr_willis: yes I agree..TwinView is my preference when possible | 14:35 |
| Pici | monkeyBox: 1) Ubuntu is not a rolling release 2) Mozilla has only released FF3b5, -pre is the nightly snapshot iirc. | 14:35 |
| kelvin911 | after it compiles how to uninstall? | 14:35 |
| kelvin911 | just delete it? | 14:35 |
| Vlet | ushimitsudoki: perhaps I shall play with the other two options a bit then :) | 14:35 |
| titusg | bazhang: I think the router is only capable of wep -- I don't know about chipsets...the driver is apparently iwl3945 | 14:35 |
| alastair_ | I'm having num lock issues. xev seems to be returning the correct keysym for the numpad in each num lock state but it doesn't seem to be doing the right thing with it | 14:36 |
| monkeyBox | Pici, ah, I see. thanks | 14:36 |
| bazhang | titusg, this is gutsy or hardy | 14:36 |
| Sortudo | bazhang: I tryed to reset my router, but it did not work :((( still no dhcfoffer reciver !!!! | 14:36 |
| lartza_ | how do i run avast? | 14:37 |
| Dr_willis | !avast | 14:37 |
| ubottu | Factoid avast not found | 14:37 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. | 14:37 |
| kelvin911 | whats wrong ? http://www.pastebin.ca/1010519 | 14:37 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinking thee was some front ends for it you could install. | 14:37 |
| bazhang | lartza_, likely point it at the files you want and then run it--it has a gui I presume | 14:37 |
| kelvin911 | it says something like C compiler error | 14:37 |
| lartza_ | installed deb and cant update with avast-update | 14:37 |
| IanClark | does anyone here know where a list of Linux drivers for optical drives would be? | 14:38 |
| lartza_ | needs to run it once first | 14:38 |
| lartza_ | kelvin911: suod apt-get install build-essentials | 14:38 |
| lartza_ | suod > sudo | 14:38 |
| kelvin911 | and what does it do? | 14:38 |
| Dr_willis | lartza_, Huh? You did run 'sudo avast-update' ? | 14:39 |
| bazhang | minus the -s :) | 14:39 |
| starcannon | WOOHOO! success! I have a shiny new 8.04 64bit server dual booting along side a nice 7.10 32bit desktop i'm so stoked I could just purr | 14:39 |
| kelvin911 | E: Couldn't find package build-essentials | 14:39 |
| Pici | kelvin911: You need to install the build-essential metapackage. | 14:39 |
| Pici | kelvin911: no s | 14:39 |
| bazhang | no -s kelvin911 | 14:39 |
| lartza_ | sry kelvin911 | 14:39 |
| lartza_ | Dr_willis: You have to run avast! at least once before you can update it. | 14:39 |
| IanClark | I need to match mine up. It looks like none of my CD burners will recognize my optical drive. I can play DVD's so something is detecting a "CD ROM", but the driver isn't specific enough. | 14:39 |
| bazhang | lartza_, where did you get the deb? getdeb.net? | 14:40 |
| lartza_ | bazhang: official avast site, has worked earlier | 14:40 |
| kelvin911 | how do u know all this stuffs? | 14:40 |
| lartza_ | with another computer | 14:40 |
| kelvin911 | apt-get install build-essential stuffs? | 14:40 |
| lartza_ | ? | 14:40 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, lots of reading. | 14:40 |
| bazhang | lartza_, let me try and run it hang on a sec | 14:40 |
| Pici | kelvin911: apt-get install build-essential | 14:40 |
| lartza_ | bazhang: i just dont know whats avast bin called | 14:40 |
| titusg | bazhang: sorry, I was away -- this is hardy | 14:40 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: and sudo apt-get built-dep [program] | 14:41 |
| Sortudo | bazhang: Please! lets work to make ubuntu saliing on the intenet :))) | 14:41 |
| lartza_ | now it worked | 14:41 |
| adedov | hi all! after upgrading to Hardy, I am constantly experiencing problem with watching movies. after watching some youtube with Firefox, totem freezes, sound stops working... closing firefox sometimes helps, but I am not sure if helps for sure. | 14:41 |
| lartza_ | it said avast: command not found, but now it started | 14:41 |
| kelvin911 | http://www.pastebin.ca/1010521 error? | 14:41 |
| kelvin911 | i install build-essential already | 14:42 |
| Dr_willis | lartza_, your path may of not been updated or somt other quirk | 14:42 |
| lartza_ | yea | 14:42 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: it complains about not finding gtk-config, but that program is really obsolete | 14:42 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: are you sure the package you have is the latest one? | 14:42 |
| epoxxy-wrk | when i look on movies they only is visible when they're in full screen? | 14:43 |
| kelvin911 | u mean gtksee? | 14:43 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: yes | 14:43 |
| kelvin911 | dont know | 14:43 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: it should look for pkg-config instead (which since long has replaced gtk-config) | 14:43 |
| bazhang | titusg, that same card works great here; though with the iwl and not the ipw try disabling the restricted drivers for that card | 14:43 |
| lartza_ | kelvin911: You have what ubuntu version? | 14:43 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: oh and it seems to require GTK 1.x | 14:43 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: that's also super old | 14:43 |
| kelvin911 | i have hardy | 14:44 |
| kelvin911 | gtksee is dated http://www.pastebin.ca/1010521 | 14:44 |
| lartza_ | ok | 14:44 |
| bazhang | Sortudo, is eth0 set to roaming? | 14:44 |
| kelvin911 | gtksee is dated 2004-11-13 04:00 | 14:44 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: try sudo apt-get install libgtk1.1.6-dev | 14:44 |
| kelvin911 | i want a program that works exactly like acdsee 2.4 | 14:44 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: what is gtksee? | 14:44 |
| Pici | kelvin911: gtksee has not been developed since 2004, is there not a better app to do what you need to do? | 14:44 |
| kelvin911 | any idea? | 14:44 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: what does acdsee do? | 14:45 |
| kelvin911 | picture viewer | 14:45 |
| lartza_ | GQView, DigiKam | 14:45 |
| bazhang | lartza_, that deb is a converted rpm--may be best to just use clamav for what you want | 14:45 |
| Pelo | anyone using gdesklets or screenets to display weather from www.weather.com having connection issues since yesterday ? | 14:45 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: what is wrong with the GNOME one? | 14:45 |
| Dr_willis | theres a bajillion+1 picture viewers out there. :) | 14:45 |
| kelvin911 | after i run ./configure there is nothing change in my system configure, right? | 14:45 |
| Dr_willis | wine irfanview.exe | 14:45 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 14:45 |
| kelvin911 | gnome one sucks | 14:46 |
| lartza_ | bazhang, i got it already | 14:46 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: what's wrong with it? | 14:46 |
| kelvin911 | i also try gthumb but they dont work the way i want | 14:46 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, search the package manager - thers at least 5 in there, | 14:46 |
| bazhang | lartza_, PM? | 14:46 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, ./configure only looks at the package you are building for missing dependencies | 14:46 |
| kelvin911 | in acdsee i can middle click to go full screen | 14:46 |
| lartza_ | bazhang: ? | 14:46 |
| bazhang | lartza_, private message? | 14:46 |
| lartza_ | bazhang: I can't send private | 14:46 |
| lartza_ | bazhang: Not registered | 14:46 |
| lartza_ | :) | 14:46 |
| kelvin911 | and double click image to go to image browser | 14:47 |
| lartza_ | and used this channel adn network about a year | 14:47 |
| bazhang | lartza how about /join #lartza | 14:47 |
| lartza_ | that worked | 14:47 |
| kelvin911 | and also the image should open in 1:1 normal resolution | 14:47 |
| lartza_ | of course | 14:47 |
| kelvin911 | but none in gnome works like that | 14:47 |
| Sortudo | bazhang: Thank you very much, now i have to go out, see you.... bye bye | 14:47 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: what's wrong with pressing F11? | 14:48 |
| kelvin911 | what f11? | 14:48 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, if the image is too big it gets resized to fit, check the preferences | 14:48 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: that makes then Image Viewer fullscreen | 14:48 |
| kelvin911 | i dont want it to resize | 14:48 |
| kelvin911 | i am reading comics | 14:48 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: you want to be able to pan around? | 14:48 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, You do realize there are some comic-book reader programs out for linux? | 14:48 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, check the preferneces then you probably have "fit" enabled | 14:48 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, been using some at work to read.. err... stuff. :) | 14:48 |
| kelvin911 | i just want exactly how acdsee 2.4 works | 14:48 |
| Vlet | ushimitsudoki: You're right, twinview is much better. thanks! | 14:48 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: have you tried F-Spot? | 14:49 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911, may be easier to just use acdsee and wine then. | 14:49 |
| kelvin911 | i have f-spot | 14:49 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, comics worked fine for me, or you can use evince as well, | 14:49 |
| hoonteke | question: I have a friend to whom I'd like to show Ubuntu. Where can I find information on WUBI? Specifically, how to install it as a Windows application. Is it possible to get as a downloadable application, so that he doesn't need to burn a CD? | 14:49 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: otherwise it will be easy to setup GIMP to behave the way you want | 14:49 |
| kelvin911 | f-spot sucks | 14:50 |
| kelvin911 | no file manager | 14:50 |
| Dr_willis | !wubi | hoonteke | 14:50 |
| ubottu | hoonteke: 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. | 14:50 |
| Pelo | hoonteke, webui doen'T install as a windows applicaton, it just installs rgular but from a running windows | 14:50 |
| kelvin911 | and no mouse wheel to go to next picture | 14:50 |
| Pici | kelvin911: There are comic viewers out there... | 14:50 |
| bensode | Is it just me or are the apt update servers getting hammered? | 14:50 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, look in menu > application > add remove and search for comic | 14:50 |
| Enselic | kelvin911: in what file format are the comics? | 14:50 |
| hoonteke | Dr_willis, Pelo thanks for the info/pointers. I'm looking now. | 14:51 |
| Pici | kelvin911: Such as comix and qcomicbook | 14:51 |
| Pelo | bensode, still in new release mode only been two weeks | 14:51 |
| kelvin911 | comics come in differnt format | 14:51 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to use comix for my .cbr files | 14:51 |
| kelvin911 | like jpg, png, or gif | 14:51 |
| xintron | I just reinstalled b43-fwcutter, do I have to reboot before I can use it? | 14:51 |
| Enselic | xintron: probably not | 14:51 |

| kelvin911 | how to change middle click to behave like F11 in gThumb? | 14:52 |
| xintron | Enselic: how do I see if it works then? | 14:52 |
| Enselic | xintron: afaik only a Linux kernel upgrade requires reboot | 14:52 |
| kelvin911 | and how to make default to normal instead of fit screen? | 14:52 |
| Deepthought | has anyone experiencxed boot-problems after the last updates to Hardy ? (like not finding the partition or starting usplash - login screen) | 14:52 |
| bensode | Pelo, Yeah figured that was the case just saw the message about the repo mirrors. It's also affecting previous versions as well. Will take a look at the repomirror info | 14:52 |
| moya | is it possible to install ubuntu in text mode using the -desktop ISO ? | 14:52 |
| Enselic | xintron: try running it | 14:52 |
| Pelo | kelvin911, check in the edit > prefs menu | 14:52 |
| xintron | Enselic: how? | 14:52 |
| === mohamed__ is now known as mohamed_ | ||
| Enselic | xintron: you don't know what you installed? | 14:53 |
| starcannon | moya maybe using the oem install, the alternate install cd is better suited though i think | 14:53 |
| MOras | bye all | 14:53 |
| kelvin911 | how to make double click to goto file manager? | 14:53 |
| hoonteke | perfect, that was the site I needed. I wonder why it's not more prominent on the Ubuntu.com mainsite? | 14:53 |
| {g} | Hey, Im installing some beta of Ubuntu 8 right now. When I do apt-get update/upgrade afterwards - will it have the same result as if I installed the current 8.04? | 14:53 |
| Pelo | bensode, change your mirror in menu > system> admin > software soruces, that occasionaly helps | 14:53 |
| xintron | Enselic: Yes, the firmwire for my wireless card, but how do I scan for wireless networks? | 14:53 |
| bensode | Pelo, No gui these are server installations | 14:53 |
| moya | starcannon: all I want is to install using LVM, the graphical installer don't give me that option | 14:53 |
| Pelo | bensode, you are on your own then, I only know gui stuff | 14:53 |
| Enselic | xintron: NetworkManager is good for scanning for wireless networks | 14:54 |
| starcannon | moya you need the alternate install disk if you want LVM | 14:54 |
| bensode | Pelo, heh no problem I'll google it | 14:54 |
| Enselic | xintron: just clicking the icon should give you a popup of all available networks | 14:54 |
| W5CT | do i want to try the upgrade to 8.04 offerered in the package manager, or do a cd install? | 14:54 |
| starcannon | W5CT cd install | 14:54 |
| xintron | Enselic: It doesn't. Althought I know that here is a wirless network | 14:54 |
| W5CT | starcannon: thanks, for safety's sake? | 14:55 |
| Enselic | xintron: does iwconfig give sensible output? | 14:55 |
| bensode | Ubottu also not responding to /msg ubottu repomirror either | 14:55 |
| Pelo | bensode, it would involve editing the sources.list file, I recommend you leave it alone and be patient, only 2 weeks since the upgrade there are no major updates out | 14:55 |
| kelvin911 | if i install ACDsee in wine, do i need to move the files to ~/.wine/drive_c to view the pictures? | 14:55 |

| bensode | Pelo, Yep I got that but these are dapper and fiesty installs that are also hanging. | 14:56 |
| Pelo | W5CT, dl the alt -cd or the dvd and upgrade from that, it's just quicker , the servers are still under heavy load | 14:56 |
| starcannon | W5CT yeah, most of the major issues I've seen here and on forums are coming from upgrade installs, clean cd install is the way to go, is how I did it and nothing went wrong here, FF3 is kinda clunky but thats bloat | 14:56 |
| Pelo | bensode, same physical machines | 14:56 |
| W5CT | thanks, starcannon and pelo | 14:56 |
| Pelo | bensode, the servers I mean | 14:56 |
| W5CT | may i quote you in the article? | 14:56 |
| Pelo | W5CT, what articles ? | 14:57 |
| Xcell | anyone know when ff will be complete? | 14:57 |
| W5CT | Pelo: a comparison of clean install and upgrade, for linux.com | 14:57 |
| xintron | this is my iwconfig output, does it look as it should? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10738/ | 14:57 |
| Pelo | Xcell, couple of mouths, which is why the beta was included in the lts | 14:57 |
| LaneLimited | Hello people... Is it possible to change my wallpaper or even have a diff panel for all my workspaces? I'm using gnome ? ? ? | 14:57 |
| stimpie | I would like to add 2 harddisk as a raid 1 (software) disk, could someone point me to some documentation how to do this? | 14:57 |
| Xcell | ah, ok thx | 14:57 |

| starcannon | LaneLimited I read about it a few months ago, but was too lazy to persue it, it looked pretty involved | 14:58 |
| stimpie | LaneLimited, with gnome there is no easy way | 14:58 |
| tjz1 | Hi Everyone, have a webcam working fine under admin log in but not under other users log ins, any ideas? Using ubuntu 7.1 | 14:58 |
| joaopinto | /msg ubottu repomirror | 14:58 |
| joaopinto | ops | 14:58 |
| starcannon | Xcell you think so? I was considering loading up FF2, FF3 is feeling sluggish to me /shrug maybe i'm not fully appreciating something, I do like alot of the features though | 14:59 |
| LaneLimited | starcannon thanks, i will forget about that then | 14:59 |
| joaopinto | I can't find a working mirror today :P | 14:59 |
| Pelo | W5CT, I don'T think I've given you enough info to include a quote from me in an articles, my comment was regarding online upgrade / cd upgrade , cd upgrade is quicker, clean instal vs upgrade is up to you , I prefer upgrade personnaly , less messing about afterwards but my system is pretty easy , some ppl have had issues, I can'T realy comment | 14:59 |
| LaneLimited | stimpie: ty | 14:59 |
| stimpie | tjz1, check the user privileges | 14:59 |
| xintron | this is my iwconfig output, does it look as it should? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10738/ | 14:59 |
| Xcell | starcannon: it is 2wice as fast than #2 for me | 14:59 |
| Xcell | but then again, i have all new stuff 2 | 15:00 |
| W5CT | Pelo: understood, thanks | 15:00 |
| tjz1 | yeah I set the chown to 777 | 15:00 |
| tjz1 | still no joy | 15:00 |
| Xcell | no joy? | 15:00 |
| Xcell | lol, j/k | 15:00 |
| starcannon | Xcell cool, you mean starting it up or surfing pages ? I do think it loads faster for sure, I just percieved it to slow down on me while surfing | 15:00 |
| Xcell | it surfs like a new race car 4 me | 15:00 |
| bazzieb | who here has installed 8.04? | 15:01 |
| tjz1 | stimpie: cant remember how to set chmod to all | 15:01 |
| Pelo | bazzieb, what is your issue ? | 15:01 |
| stimpie | tjz1, you can just use the users and groups tool | 15:01 |
| starcannon | Xcell awesome, lol I haven't timed any pages yet, I do have gutsy and hardy here side by side, I could do a little testing, sample is too small to be valid, but it'd be fun anyway | 15:01 |
| adedov | so, I need report a problem about freezing video due to FF? | 15:01 |
| Xcell | I am on 7.10 right now tho, till pulse audio gets repaired | 15:01 |
| anabolix | anyone know about LPI training? | 15:01 |
| Pelo | adedov, just ff frezing of the whole thing ? | 15:02 |
| joaopinto | W5CT, a clean install is usually a better option for those people which do system wide customizations, such scenarios are not covered by the upgrade tests and occasionally will cause from minor to major problems | 15:02 |
| tjz1 | stimpie yeah tried that, which group and who etc?? not clear on using groups editor | 15:02 |
| xintron | Somehow my wireless card doesn't show any wireless networks around although here is at least one! This is my iwconfig output, is there something odd to it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10738/ | 15:02 |
| ziomorti87 | ciao a tutti | 15:02 |

| Xcell | right now the hardware folks are on overtime | 15:07 |
| anabolix | xintron: after accessing the file "properties" and going to the "open with" tab and selecting a program... it should always open files of that type with the selected program... try it | 15:07 |
| starcannon | lol Xcell I'm gonna quote you in my signature someday, maybe 60 days from now ;) | 15:07 |

| IanClark | Just wondering if anyone knows why my Gnome desktop in Hardy won't show me a blank CD icon (for any blank CD). | 15:08 |
| f0rmat | starcannon, the system has been running for 2 days fine graphics fine, sound fine then all of a sudden Gnome randomly screws the system, | 15:08 |
| anabolix | xintron: sorry i cant help you there.. im new to ubuntu myself (actually new to linux)... keep asking in the channel im sure ull get some help | 15:09 |
| starcannon | f0rmat oh it didn't happen after a reboot? | 15:09 |
| f0rmat | no | 15:09 |
| anabolix | xintron: is your wireless enabled from your laptop though? | 15:09 |
| f0rmat | starcannon, i rebooted because all the gnome icons were gone and the taskbar | 15:09 |
| starcannon | f0rmat very odd, I've had this laptop up almost non stop since release day, nothing like that, I actually rebooted this morning after I downloaded some updates | 15:10 |
| xintron | anabolix: Yes, from what I can tell. However it wont find any networks even though here is at least one | 15:10 |
| MOras | I am back ! now I have a busybox problem, does it ring a bell | 15:10 |
| f0rmat | starcannon, :/ i dunno then | 15:10 |
| starcannon | f0rmat I always manually install the latest nvidia drivers though, I think that makes a big difference in xserver stability | 15:10 |
| xintron | anabolix: My wireless is set to roaming mode | 15:10 |
| starcannon | f0rmat I've got a guide up at pastebin if you wanna give it a shot | 15:10 |
| anabolix | xintron: in my past experience my wireless worked right after installation | 15:11 |
| seme | hi guys... is it true that ubuntu does not support switching back and forth between single and dual monitors (ie laptop that can have a monitor connected directly or through its base) | 15:11 |

| xintron | anabolix: Not your fault :P | 15:11 |

| tjz1 | Hi Everyone, have a webcam working fine under admin log in but not under other users log ins, any ideas? Using ubuntu 7.1,I set the chown to 777. cant remember how to set chmod on /dev/video0 to "all". It does seem like a permissions issue, strange. The account I was in when installed the webcam apps and librarys will run the webcam without any problems BUT all other user log ins cannot even see the camera as a device, for example in skype. | 15:12 |
| joaopinto | tjz1, there is a "video" group, do those users belong to that group ? | 15:13 |
| tjz1 | I will check now | 15:13 |
| starcannon | f0rmat http://pastebin.com/d4153556a this only works if you don't skip steps (yeah even if your sure you did it already) if you follow the guide you will have success, I have several nvidia cards of various models on various hardware, it works everytime | 15:14 |

| jomofo | Is /etc/environment the best place to add ~/bin to PATH? | 15:19 |
| joaopinto | jomofo, if you want it system wide, yes | 15:19 |
| hwilde | tjz1, /dev/video0 should be owned as root:video, then you need to add the users to /etc/groups under the video group | 15:20 |

| _ruben | silverblade: depends on what you want to store on it | 15:22 |

| jomofo | joaopinto, Thanks, system-wide is fine for what I"m doing. Also, I see that .profile includes it by default, which is what I remember from previous installs. I think the ~/bin directory didn't exist when I launched my shell which is what confused me | 15:24 |

| eatatjoes | okay if u use the .tar.gz how do u get that to run? ive had problems with that (i guess i dont understand how to compile it correctly) | 15:28 |
| joaopinto | eatatjoes, the vmware install script will make sure the modules and services will be properly installed | 15:28 |
| joaopinto | eatatjoes, better google.com there are plenty of sites explaining it with detail | 15:29 |
| jakamo | Anyone got any ideas why Hardy Herron was released in it's current state? I mean with all the incompatibilities, bugs etc. | 15:29 |

| joaopinto | craigbass1976, there are several options at the repositories | 15:30 |
| stefg | eatatjoes: you need to compile the kernel modules, which in turn need to be patched with the so-called any-any patch. read !build for info on how to compile modules and /j #vmware for support on getting the modules work on 2.6.24 kernel | 15:30 |

| stefg | Xcell: 'cause x-fonts and consolefonts are 2 different things. ubuntu customizes the consolefont to 'Terminus' imho, so you need the corresponding x-font and set xterm to use that | 15:35 |

| cl0s | I can't get hardy cd to install or run live @ all on my vaio laptop | 15:38 |
| DNC_005 | quick question, can external hard drives only contain one partition? i have 1 fat32 partition on there, i shrunk it but it seems to stop me making another | 15:38 |
| hwilde | cl0s, check cd for defects | 15:38 |

| frostburn | does network manager not work for cisco vpns? I entered in the correct information and nm-applet died, and no connection was made | 15:39 |
| cl0s | its something with the new kernel and sony vaios | 15:39 |
| hwilde | DNC_005, if you shrunk the existing partition then you can access the partition table, so you should be able to create a new one. | 15:39 |

| cl0s | oh.. I know what you're saying, I think i tried that (maybe i tried --no-splash), i'll try completely removing it though | 15:42 |
| hwilde | cl0s, you can take out the quiet option too and see the messages | 15:42 |

| eracc | grolem, when I helped folks use dial-up with Linux I installed KDE's dialer thing. Uhm, I think it is Kppp or something like that. Not sure what else to use that is GUI-ish. | 15:43 |
| mad_max02 | thanks | 15:43 |
| cl0s | i get errors, it says Kernel Panic, i forget the exact errors though. | 15:43 |
| cl0s | I'm at work right now, sorry I don't have more details. | 15:43 |
| hwilde | cl0s, if 7.10 works do that and then upgrade | 15:44 |
| eracc | grolem, unfortunately no one I know uses dial-up now for about 2 years so that is all I can suggest. | 15:44 |
| grolem | eracc , i'll try that . but i used the network manager in the gnome panel and that didn't work | 15:44 |
| stoneDJay | Hi... In my laptop my cpu fan is working always on max... how to solve it? It will suck my battery... and my cpu is not at 100% all the time to fan act like this... | 15:44 |
| cl0s | I kind of wanted a clean install.. and only 1 kernel, but might just have to.. | 15:45 |
| hwilde | cl0s, umm just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and it will only display one kernel :) | 15:45 |
| amenado | grolem-> what happens when you used the nm dial up? | 15:45 |
| Kinetic | stoneDJay apci turned off in the bios? | 15:45 |
| kaje1 | Can someone recommend a good irc server that comes packaged for ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| cl0s | but wont the other one still be there? lol | 15:45 |
| hwilde | kaje1, search in synaptic | 15:46 |
| komputes | who knows how to download the entire repository pool ~40GB of debian packages in repository format i.e. /pool/a/blabla | 15:46 |
| amenado | kaje1-> if you dont get an answer, you proly have to google for ubuntu+ircd | 15:46 |
| hwilde | cl0s, there is some dpkg command to clean out the old kernels | 15:46 |
| cl0s | sorry if it sounds dumb, i really dont know | 15:46 |
| cl0s | ok thanks.. | 15:46 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | Is there a way to change my font in firefox 3.0b5? | 15:46 |
| stoneDJay | Kinetic: in the bios... I need to set this in the BIOS? or turn of with pnpbios=off in menu.list (GRUB)? | 15:46 |
| dadan | sorry i don't want to bother anybody, and i'm a newby but i have this problem: my 2 bars (the one from the top and the bottom one)from gnome have disappeared what can i do? | 15:47 |
| Kinetic | stoneDJay pnpbios is something different | 15:47 |
| DNC_005 | oh, it seems it something to do with xp and removeable media thing | 15:47 |
| kaje1 | hwilde: there are several options in synaptic... I was hoping someone could give me a nudge in the direction of the preferred one... | 15:47 |
| cellofellow | There, fixed it. Why in the world would GNOMEs printing system not work with the Raw driver? | 15:47 |
| Kinetic | stoneDJay check the bios and see if apci is turned on | 15:47 |
| hwilde | dadan, sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel then sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 15:47 |
| hwilde | kaje1, the ones that have version number with ubuntu in the name are supported | 15:47 |
| cgentry72 | can someone help me fix a problem? I have a usb flash drive and when I plug it in it never shows up. However, if I boot with it plugged in, it does. | 15:47 |
| dadan | thx hwilde | 15:47 |
| Wobe | stoneDJay: install powertop and see if that can detect anything running, also intsall the laptop package vis synaptic | 15:47 |
| stoneDJay | Kinetic: ok... I will try ...thanks... | 15:47 |
| cellofellow | dadan: or sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-panel | 15:47 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | Is there a way to change my font in firefox 3.0b5? | 15:47 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, what if you plug in a different usb device, does it recognize it plugnplay ? | 15:48 |
| DNC_005 | ah wait if i mark the removeable media as non removeable media to get extra partitions to work then how will i force xp to sync before removal :( | 15:48 |
| hwilde | ^Tech-Help^, look through the preferences it's in the menu | 15:48 |
| DNC_005 | i'll try asking in windows | 15:48 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, no it doesn't :( | 15:48 |
| stoneDJay | Wobe: I will try it also | 15:48 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, the mouse does the same thing | 15:48 |
| Travo | Hello Guy's... I am having problems booting normally into my ubuntu linux, with any of the kernels, worked fine the other day. I have a paste bin of the error... | 15:48 |
| Travo | http://pastebin.com/m306b747a | 15:48 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, did you disable the usb hotplug support ? | 15:48 |
| eracc | dadan, I would try to help with that but my 15 year old Gnome expert (my son) is not here right now. I'm a fluxbox guy. ;D | 15:48 |
| AngryElf | does anyone know how to set up a VPN connection via the command line? | 15:49 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, not that I am aware of | 15:49 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | hwilde ok i just didnt know if it was a system font or firefox font that was causing the issues of blurry fonts | 15:49 |
| hdschardt | Ex-Chat | 15:49 |
| Rafase282 | hello | 15:49 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, i didn't know I could or know how to disable hotplugging | 15:49 |
| odinsbane | does anybody else find that the repositories are very slow today? | 15:50 |
| jescis | does the lacale settings have to do with my console fonts? | 15:50 |
| maszl1 | I seem to be having some problems connecting to some repos today.. is something going on? | 15:50 |
| maszl1 | lol guess so | 15:50 |
| dan1 | hey | 15:50 |
| === mia_ is now known as mayo | ||
| Wobe | ok so i'm not alone. good | 15:50 |
| DNC_005 | i think i need to flip the Removable Bit | 15:50 |
| joaopinto | maszl1, yes, most of them are overloaded | 15:50 |
| Rafase282 | hello, i need help with a virtual machine on virtualbox | 15:51 |
| maszl1 | I was unable to ping the server so I was wondering if it was something else | 15:51 |
| dan1 | was just wondering if anyone else was having problems getting the sound to work. my sound card is xtreme fidelity by creative and i can't seem to get it to pick up. | 15:51 |
| Travo | Could someone assist me with my box not booting, here is the error: http://pastebin.com/m306b747a | 15:51 |
| raket | :) | 15:51 |
| eracc | AngryElf, setup of Linux VPN is non-trivial. After messing with it I chose to use Linksys small business routers for that. If you are needing it for a roaming laptop that is quite non-trivial to get working. | 15:51 |
| danbhfive | are there any commands that can help debug strange sound output? | 15:51 |
| dadan | it doesn' work the reinstalling of gnome-panel | 15:51 |
| maszl1 | you know its great that these servers are overloaded. makes me happy to wait actually lol | 15:52 |
| Repp | I used "sudo apt-get update" to nab Wine onto a little micro-laptop and I'm finding that some of the packages are failing on transfer with a connection timed out error. I've rerun "sudo apt-get update" a few times hoping it would just sort of work, but it keeps failing on some packages. Is there any good way around this? I'd even settle for a bad way around it. | 15:52 |
| volksman | can anyone tell me how to get the mount point of a share mounted using "Connect to Server" | 15:52 |
| MOras | at last my ubuntu works ! | 15:52 |
| eracc | AngryElf, however, if you really need it of Linux I am looking up the resources I used ... | 15:52 |
| djhash | Travo: is this from a clean install or upgrade? | 15:52 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, ps -ef | grep hald is the process hald-addon-storage running? | 15:52 |
| AngryElf | eracc: well, is doing it through the GUI less trivial? | 15:52 |
| volksman | Repp: Go to software sources and select "Other" there is a way to find the fastest mirror | 15:53 |
| starcannon | I installed an ubuntu lamp server and an openssh server, can anyone point me at some project resource guides/pages/tutorials that could help me figure out how to make it go? this is educational and will never be a "live" server and I'm a complete noob | 15:53 |
| MOras | great ! that's a change. | 15:53 |
| Travo | djhash, i have upgraded the kernel once, but it was a month since I ran updates. | 15:53 |
| odinsbane | Repp you might have to download them yourself. or possibly change the location of your repos....they appear to be overloaded. | 15:53 |
| Travo | djhash, and upgraded the kernel | 15:53 |
| joaopinto | starcannon, define "make it go", didn't you installed it already ? | 15:53 |
| Travo | djhash, I am booting into the live cd right now | 15:53 |
| dan1 | o.0 | 15:53 |
| Rafase282 | can anyone help me? | 15:53 |
| snowblink | volksman, mount or cat /etc/mtab | 15:53 |
| Repp | thank you | 15:53 |

| hwilde | !lamp | starcannon | 15:53 |
| ubottu | starcannon: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:53 |
| dadan | can anyone halp me by make reappear the gnome panels in 8.04? | 15:53 |
| eatatjoes | i was wondering if someone could tell me how to compile the .tar.gz for vmware? | 15:54 |
| volksman | snowblink: neither show the mount when it is connected using the GUI | 15:54 |
| starcannon | joaopinto yeah sorry bad choice of words on my part, it is up and running, no errors, just need some noob project guides to get rolling | 15:54 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, disconnect and reconnect the usb drive, and then type "dmesg" is it recognized at the bottom? | 15:54 |
| hwilde | dadan, sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel then sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 15:54 |
| dadan | i tryed reinstalling gnome-panel but it doesn-t resolve the problem | 15:54 |
| djhash | Travo: how about a clean re-install? | 15:55 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, no | 15:55 |
| starcannon | hwilde aye thanks, i had that part, I'm needing some noob projects to work on to get me learning what to do with it now that I've got it :) | 15:55 |
| MrBill | If I have a 64bit version of Ubuntu installed, I have to take note when installing other packages and programs to ensure that they support 64bit, correct? | 15:55 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, last entry is ext3 | 15:55 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, that is very odd.. the process that should detect it must not be running | 15:55 |
| Travo | djhash, a clean reinstall? Format? | 15:55 |
| maszl1 | we got a quad core poweredge, im super excited to get this thing rolling.. need to have this be a success to get these people off the micro$oft high horse | 15:55 |
| hwilde | dadan, can you make a new user and see if they have the panel ? | 15:55 |
| ikonia | maszl1: it's called microsoft, please show it the respet it's due | 15:56 |
| eracc | AngryElf, heh, I only used the command line so I have no idea about GUI setup of VPN. ;) | 15:56 |
| hwilde | ikonia, respet lol | 15:56 |
| joaopinto | eatatjoes, sine you are too lazy to google I did it for you: http://rmbernardes.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/install-vmware-server-105-on-ubuntu-804-%E2%80%9Chardy%E2%80%9D/ | 15:56 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, :( i wonder why it works if i plug it in before i start my computer it works | 15:56 |
| joaopinto | since | 15:56 |
| AngryElf | eracc: the GUI seemed pretty non-trivial :) | 15:56 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, same with the mouse | 15:56 |
| AngryElf | might wanna try it out | 15:56 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, on boot it is scanning for the usb, but then while you're running the hotplug does not detect it. | 15:56 |
| beniamino | how can i add a 3-rd party application to the main menu? | 15:56 |
| djhash | Travo: you can re-install without formatting. | 15:56 |
| dan1 | brb | 15:56 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, oic | 15:56 |
| Travo | so I need to sudo aptitude upgrade ? | 15:57 |
| joaopinto | beniamino, right clik on the apps menu, Edit Menu | 15:57 |
| dadan | hwilde: i have changed the repositories maybe this is the problem, i get this message: E: Package gnome-panel has no installation candidate | 15:57 |
| starcannon | hiya ikonia didn't see you there, you got any noob project links for me to start getting my hands dirty with? I got the server up and running, now what to do what to do... | 15:57 |
| DNC_005 | ok i made a logical partition and deleted the primary | 15:57 |
| DNC_005 | oh wait | 15:57 |
| DNC_005 | ah | 15:57 |
| eatatjoes | joaopinto, thanks but thats for hardy and thats what i had tried | 15:57 |
| beniamino | joaopinto: thanks | 15:57 |
| eracc | AngryElf, I'm still looking for that information I had. I thought I kept the URLs but they are not in my bookmarks. :/ | 15:57 |
| joaopinto | starcannon, google.com: php mysql tutorial | 15:57 |
| AlphaOmega | lol | 15:57 |
| djhash | Travo: actually.. try fixing grub.. it might've got messed up on the upgrade | 15:57 |
| ikonia | starcannon: remember the webserver project I suggested as a learning tool. You'll find all kinds of guides on https://help.ubuntu.com | 15:57 |
| joaopinto | eatatjoes, I am assuming you are using hardy, anyway that is a general procedure, it should work | 15:57 |
| MOras | do you know any good download manager for linux | 15:58 |
| hwilde | dadan, yep. fix your repos | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | whos genius idea was it to make firefox 3 beta 5 the default on ubuntu 8.04? | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | nice | 15:58 |
| hwilde | !find gnome-panel | dadan | 15:58 |
| ubottu | dadan: Found: gnome-panel, gnome-panel-data, gnome-panel-dbg | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | also massive internittent audio problems when firefox 3 beta 5 is running | 15:58 |
| joaopinto | AlphaOmega, do you need support ? This is not a complains channel... | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | jesus f ing christ | 15:58 |
| remoteCTRL | hi guys! for the last two or three days my hdd keeps ratteling and ratteling like something is accessing like wild, i already uninstalled beagled and trackerd as those dont work anyways but its keeps on... what could be accessing my hdds? | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | i shouldhave never upgraded | 15:58 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, is there a way to scan for it without rebooting | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | no, im bitching | 15:58 |
| starcannon | ikonia aye, i'll poke around some more, not being lazy i promise :) i'm a googlin lil noob, got the dual boot all setup with heavy doses of google :) | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | thats what irc is for | 15:58 |
| joaopinto | AlphaOmega, install the firefox-2 package, it is available | 15:58 |
| hwilde | !offtopic | AlphaOmega | 15:58 |
| ubottu | AlphaOmega: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:58 |

| ubottu | AlphaOmega: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 15:58 |
| dadan | how do you edit the repositories without a giu? | 15:58 |
| joaopinto | !ot | AlphaOmega | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | well, seriously | 15:58 |
| dadan | gui | 15:58 |
| dare | is possable to add exceptions for some theme, eg I dont want that my current dark theme apply eg to openOffice and Limewire? | 15:58 |
| AlphaOmega | thats not how you release open source in the 2000s | 15:58 |
| hwilde | dadan, /etc/apt/sources.lst | 15:59 |
| dadan | thx | 15:59 |
| exco | hello | 15:59 |
| volksman | AlphaOmega: would you have prefered FF2 for the next 5 years? | 15:59 |
| RyanPrior | I password protected my bootloader, but it won't let me boot at all without putting in the password. Is that normal? I just wanted to require a password to do anything other than the default boot option. | 15:59 |
| delta___ | AlphaOmega: I really appreaciated the move to FF3. It's faster, more stable and offers more features | 15:59 |
| Travo | djhash, how do I safely fix grub, any resources, links. I'm a real nOOb to this linux stuff. Another Linux guru told me I needed to change my OS by partition instead of the UUID. Any truth to that? | 15:59 |
| AlphaOmega | volksman: i would have preferred my computer to work | 15:59 |
| AlphaOmega | now it doesnt, your point? | 15:59 |
| AlphaOmega | you like regression>? | 15:59 |
| ikonia | AlphaOmega: we can help you with support | 15:59 |
| hydrogen | AlphaOmega: install opera, and all will be good with the world | 15:59 |
| hwilde | !fixgrub | Travo | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Travo: 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 | 15:59 |
| AlphaOmega | youre a regressionist i take it | 15:59 |
| joaopinto | AlphaOmega, I do not have issues with sound on ff3, it maybe something specific to your configuration, or to the technology of the particular site your are using, if its a flash powered site then you would be better complaining to adobe | 15:59 |
| ikonia | AlphaOmega: if you do'nt want tsupport please take this to an off-topic channe please. | 15:59 |
| RyanPrior | AlphaOmega: FF3 works great. Some folks have problems, but those will only get fewer with time. | 15:59 |
| AlphaOmega | hydrogen: i think i will | 15:59 |
| hydrogen | AlphaOmega: real men understood that a long time ago | 15:59 |
| AlphaOmega | thanks | 15:59 |
| volksman | AlphaOmega: mine works great...no issues with 8.04 that I didn't have with 7.10 | 15:59 |
| remoteCTRL | load average: 0.62, 0.85, 0.73 although nothing is running, how can i determine what is causing this? | 15:59 |
| jescis | does the locale settings have to do with my console fonts? | 16:00 |
| AlphaOmega | im on intel toshiba laptop | 16:00 |
| silverblade | anyone else ahving problems reaching security.ubuntu.com ? | 16:00 |
| hwilde | remoteCTRL, type in "top" | 16:00 |
| AlphaOmega | dual core | 16:00 |
| joaopinto | silverblade, yes, I do | 16:00 |
| exco | is there a file "/etc/host" ? (not hosts, hosts.conf ...) | 16:00 |
| remoteCTRL | hwilde: no results with top, cpu usage like 0,5% | 16:00 |
| maszl1 | what options do I have for a virtualization server? | 16:00 |
| joaopinto | exco, no | 16:00 |
| dare | remoteCTRL, use system monitor and cick show all process | 16:00 |
| agro1986 | help: what is the equivalent of window's "device manager" in hardy heron? | 16:00 |
| hwilde | remoteCTRL, top shows you the programs that are running. hit M to sort by memory, then hit < to sort by cpu column | 16:00 |
| usser | !virtualization | 16:00 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 16:00 |
| Travo | hwilde, I didn't install windows on this box, it is straight linux. It actually happened when I booted and it didn't mount the file system for a long time, it just sat there, and I just killed the system, it never came back up after that. All i did was add a pci-card. | 16:00 |
| djhash | Travo: there is no difference.. your problem seems to be in the fact that some command is not set right to mount the drive which makes it unable to find files it needs | 16:01 |
| exco | joaopinto: thank you (got lucky!) | 16:01 |
| RyanPrior | agro1986: What does the device manager do? | 16:01 |
| RyanPrior | agro1986: Some of us don't use Windows. :-) | 16:01 |
| eracc | AngryElf, ok, here is one of the documents I studied: http://av.rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geultZwiFIyLYAqANrCqMX;_ylu=X3oDMTBvdmM3bGlxBHBndANhdl93ZWJfcmVzdWx0BHNlYwNzcg--/SIG=130juq96n/EXP=1210258393/**http%3a//port25.technet.com/videos/research/Linux-VPN-Analysis-Howto_final.pdf (note the source! :D ) | 16:01 |

| dbmoodb | hi a how do i reconfigure x.org -- given the new structure of it - i need to change my graphics from being intel to be i810 so it doesn't crash on me | 16:02 |
| danis | so can anyone help me with my soundcard issues? :/ | 16:02 |
| danbhfive | aaroncampbell_: random guess, but try installing sun-java | 16:02 |
| agro1986 | hwilde: there's no such menu entry... what's the command name? | 16:02 |
| joaopinto | agro1986, you can install hardinfo for a hardware info | 16:02 |

| hwilde | agro1986, System -> Preferences - > Hardware Info | 16:02 |

| mathieu__ | ! | 16:03 |
| dbmoodb | how do i do that from the command line ? | 16:03 |
| kahrytan | Ryan52, you have to install one. | 16:03 |
| dbmoodb | if there is no way i will not use this thing sorry --- i need an in that will work if my x fails | 16:04 |
| eracc | AngryElf, there are also documents from Cisco that tell how to get VPN working with their VPN routers. But if you don't need Cisco specific information those won't help. | 16:04 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, there is a line that shows "Device" for your video card. Add the line / change the line Driver "intel" to Driver "i810" then restart X | 16:04 |
| hwilde | RyanPrior, hardinfo, hwinfo do you know about "aptitude search" | 16:04 |
| dbmoodb | there isn't ikonia this is hardy | 16:04 |

| djhash | Travo: can you pastebin "more /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 16:05 |
| RyanPrior | hwilde: No need to be snippy. "hardinfo" and "hwinfo" aren't necessarily easy to guess. | 16:05 |
| dbmoodb | there is Section "Device" | 16:05 |
| dbmoodb | Identifier "Configured Video Device" | 16:05 |
| dbmoodb | if you sa. oh just add ? | 16:05 |

| Darre1 | anyone using an Epson CX9475 ??? | 16:06 |
| dbmoodb | dude you said change it there isn't 'intel' to be altered | 16:06 |
| Travo | djhash, let me paste bin it for you to double check | 16:06 |
| kahrytan | Ryan52, You could do hardware info in synaptic too. | 16:06 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: I didn't I said "add/change it" | 16:06 |
| dbmoodb | ..... oh | 16:06 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: if you can't be bothered to read the help your asking for when I've said 3 times "re-read it" your not going to get very far | 16:06 |
| dbmoodb | just drive = i810 ? | 16:06 |
| eracc | AngryElf, oh, and good luck dude. :) | 16:06 |

| ikonia | dbmoodb: Driver "i810" | 16:06 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: it's clear your not reading it | 16:07 |
| djhash | Travo: is that what you did? install windows after you installed ubuntu? | 16:07 |
| beniamino | is it just me, or is the path bar in launcher -> properties -> icon completely broken? | 16:07 |
| hwilde | stoneDJay, set acpi=off in the grub menu... | 16:07 |
| Travo | djhash, No I did not install windows | 16:07 |
| usser | maszl1, i think you need something like vmware-server for that | 16:07 |
| Kinetic | stoneDJay wow, how old of a laptop? | 16:07 |
| hwilde | Travo, follow the links from ubotu | 16:07 |
| hwilde | !fixgrub | Travo | 16:07 |

| hwilde | stoneDJay, Kinetic, you can set acpi=off in the grub menu... | 16:08 |
| dbmoodb | sorry ikonia i don't know what you are on about there is nothing to alter from intel to i810 and there is no driver in there yet so i will play with it | 16:08 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, is there a way to scan for it (like it does when it boots) I just hate having to restart just to find it | 16:08 |
| odinsbane | I have a bunch of pdf files that I want to sort via a data base. Is there a good sqllite front end for that? | 16:08 |
| krupa^ | help? | 16:08 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: I said "ADD" the line ! | 16:08 |
| Deepthought | is it normal for nvidia binary driver to disappear after kernel update (´official´ update in Hardy from .16 to.17) ? | 16:08 |
| stoneDJay | hwilde: Whats happen with power management in Ubuntu with acpi off at boot? | 16:08 |
| Kinetic | hwilde he's having problems with it not scaling down | 16:09 |
| hwilde | cgentry72, try running sudo udevtrigger | 16:09 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: what part of "add the line" am I not making clear to you ? | 16:09 |
| krupa^ | hey , anyone knows how to solve it? net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/disk/www as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. (im trying to share folder ) | 16:09 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, ok | 16:09 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: if you compiled it yourself yes | 16:09 |
| Kl4m | Ubuntu 8.04 STILL kills a laptop hard drive! | 16:09 |
| dbmoodb | the part where you didn't say that the first time | 16:09 |
| dbmoodb | so far as i know | 16:09 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, nothing happend | 16:09 |
| dbmoodb | but i will | 16:09 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: RE-READ IT | 16:09 |
| dbmoodb | thank you | 16:09 |
| dbmoodb | i did ikonia | 16:09 |
| FloodBot3 | dbmoodb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:09 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: I said it in the first line, I then said it 2 more times | 16:09 |
| dbmoodb | 5 times now | 16:09 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, there is a line that shows "Device" for your video card. Add the line / change the line Driver "intel" to Driver "i810" then restart X | 16:09 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: that is the exact line | 16:09 |
| * soundray laughs at dbmoodb | 16:09 | |
| remoteCTRL | Kl4m: not only laptop as it seems my hdd has been ralle and hum for 4 days now | 16:10 |
| Travo | djhash, This is what the terminal spat out: http://www.pastebin.com/m121b00e2 | 16:10 |
| dbmoodb | oh ... i see | 16:10 |
| soundray | How can you re-read and not see what he said | 16:10 |
| eracc | Darre1, I have helped several folk locally get Epson printers working. I recommend using the Avasys drivers: http://avasys.jp/hp/menu000000500/hpg000000442.htm | 16:10 |
| dbmoodb | missed that i expect intel ... ah | 16:10 |
| ikonia | so you where not reading it | 16:10 |
| ikonia | despite me asking you 3 times | 16:10 |
| danis | im going through the troubleshoot to detect the soundcard on my comp, but im not sure if its reading it or not. all i know is my soundcard is called xtreme fidelity and is made by creative.. o.0 | 16:10 |
| dbmoodb | but here is no line intel --- just note that | 16:10 |
| stoneDJay | hwilde: Whats happen with power management in Ubuntu with acpi off at boot? | 16:10 |
| djhash | Travo: check your link.. | 16:10 |
| Kl4m | The hard drive is turned off and on and off and on, ALL THE TIME | 16:10 |
| dbmoodb | thank you | 16:10 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: nope, did not; it was in the scheduled updates, But it´s using normal driver now, and if I start hardware driver manager for restricted it doesn´ t show up, not even un-activated | 16:11 |
| ikonia | Kl4m: as in power saving ? | 16:11 |
| dbmoodb | Kl4m: sudo apt-get install smartmonutils | 16:11 |
| eracc | Darre1, if your printer model does not show up there then you should look for a 'slightly' older model. | 16:11 |
| Travo | djhash, http://pastebin.com/m121b00e2 | 16:11 |
| dbmoodb | then apt-get install sdparm hdparm .... try hdparm -B 254 /dev/sdX or /dev/hdX depding on a sata or ide drive | 16:11 |
| eracc | Darre1, they usually have new drivers there a couple of months after they release a new printer. | 16:11 |
| soundray | dbmoodb: do you mean smartmontools? | 16:11 |
| dbmoodb | close enough soundray | 16:12 |
| ikonia | dbmoodb: all drives are /dev/sd$ now | 16:12 |
| dbmoodb | ...and that is because ? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | because libata changed about a year ago | 16:12 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: no that is not common, as said if you dont manually compile the driver it should be ported with kernel updates | 16:12 |
| dbmoodb | try telling that to debian lenny | 16:12 |
| djhash | Travo: try rebooting | 16:12 |
| Travo | djhash, alright | 16:12 |
| dbmoodb | which uses libata from less than a year ago ... i thinks | 16:12 |
| soundray | dbmoodb: lenny is irrelevant in this channel | 16:12 |
| dbmoodb | me i will try this | 16:12 |
| Kl4m | dbmoodb: I already did watch -n 1 hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda, every second because it would switch back | 16:12 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: could it have something to do with adding medibuntu repos to the software sources ? | 16:13 |
| dbmoodb | oh it is switching back ? | 16:13 |
| babolat | hi | 16:13 |
| dbmoodb | yikes ? | 16:13 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: as in getting a newer kernel than hardy would normally use, or something ? | 16:13 |
| danis | Sound Blaster X-Fi emu20k1 [Unsupported] [PCI] Card delivered to developers. Completely new architecture. Creative have supplied a data sheet to developers. Development work has started. | 16:13 |

| CelsoLeite | Hello! | 16:14 |
| Tu13es | can i turn my unencrypted ubuntu partition into an encrypted TrueCrypt partition without data loss? | 16:14 |
| ihtspam | Hi everyone. I have looked everywhere for an answer to this. I am using Hardy. The only package I have in the canonical repository is opera. Is this correct? I am looking for parallels. Thanks in advance | 16:14 |
| starcannon | AlphaOmega you can go here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and get FF2 and just run it from a folder in your /home/AlphaOmega directory until FF3 comes of age, I had to use an older version of firefox for a website that was required for one of my school classes, thats how I did it, I still have the folder here in my /home just in case I ever need it again, its simple and painless :) | 16:14 |
| Danie1 | What driver should I install? (ubuntu 7.10) I have Nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000 | 16:14 |
| aaroncampbell_ | I'm having Java Problems on Hardy. Every time I try to install or run Zend Studio, I get Locking assertion failure. a couple times, with accompanying backtraces | 16:14 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: i cannot tell with certainty but that would of course be a possibility | 16:14 |
| CelsoLeite | Can someone give me some help? | 16:14 |
| djhash | !ask | 16:14 |
| 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. :-) | 16:14 |
| Travo | djhash, same error | 16:14 |
| aaroncampbell_ | And yes, I have sun-java-6 installed | 16:14 |
| RyanPrior | ihtspam: Unless you want Parallells particularly, I suggest using VirtualBox. | 16:14 |
| starcannon | oops just realized i responded to a very old post sorry for that, gotta get some contrast on that scroll bar | 16:14 |
| Kl4m | This is not power saving, the hard drive is switching off and back on about every 5 seconds | 16:14 |
| ikonia | Kl4m: hardware issue then | 16:15 |
| soundray | starcannon: it's bad advice, too | 16:15 |
| remoteCTRL | Tu13es: if you backup that data before encrypting yes, otherwise no | 16:15 |
| babolat | ihtspam, do u have universe and multiverse enabled? | 16:15 |
| Kl4m | ikonia: oh please. It's been a known problem for years | 16:15 |
| stoneDJay | Kinetic: : Whats happen with power management in Ubuntu with acpi off at boot? | 16:15 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: if I remove that source again, and rerun updates, would stuff from that repos be removed again ? guess not huh ? So is there a way to undo my last updates so I can try again without those repos ? | 16:15 |
| francis | How to I automate AT commands to my modem. I am trying to send myself alerts from my GMS modem . Anyone ?? | 16:15 |
| krupa^ | ? | 16:15 |
| krupa^ | help? | 16:15 |
| djhash | Travo: can you "more /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 16:15 |
| starcannon | soundray : thats a subjective opinion :) | 16:15 |
| Kinetic | stoneDJay turns pm off | 16:15 |
| ihtspam | RyanPrior: I want to install EAC, it doesn't work on Virtualbox, which is a shame as I like VBox. | 16:15 |
| ikonia | Kl4m: really, could you expand on that please. | 16:16 |
| Kl4m | search google for "ubuntu kills hd" | 16:16 |
| Travo | djhash, in the busybox prompt? | 16:16 |
| soundray | starcannon: it's widely accepted here that you shouldn't bypass the package manager if an Ubuntu package is available for something, e.g. firefox-2 | 16:16 |
| CelsoLeite | !ask how do i install d-link dwa110 USB adapter? | 16:16 |
| ubottu | CelsoLeite: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:16 |
| mipstien | after upgrading to 8.04 i can't get nvidia drivers working correctly | 16:16 |
| ikonia | Kl4m: oh that old laptop issue | 16:16 |
| RyanPrior | ihtspam: Well, I don't even see Opera in my third-party repository, and I think I have all the repositories enabled. | 16:16 |
| djhash | Travo: forget that.. i'm losing my mind.. | 16:16 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: downgrade is of course not automatic, you would need to remove the newer kernel version manually, but what you also can do is download and compile a driver into your newer kernel version and then not download kernel images until hardy catches up | 16:17 |
| Deepthought | mipstien: remoteCTRL , see, I have that same problem ! | 16:17 |
| djhash | Travo: in busybox type cd /dev/disk/by-uuid | 16:17 |
| volksman | mipstien: install the envy package and let it install nvidia drivers | 16:17 |
| djhash | then type ls -al | 16:17 |
| kahrytan | remoteCTRL, it's better to download it from Opera.com | 16:17 |
| RyanPrior | !envy | volksman | 16:17 |
| ubottu | volksman: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 16:17 |
| mipstien | already tried envy | 16:17 |
| Travo | djhash, returns nothing | 16:17 |
| CelsoLeite | I need some help! | 16:17 |
| mipstien | envyng | 16:17 |
| ihtspam | babolat: Yeah, have universe and multiverse enabled. When I look at packages available in the canonical repository, only opera is there. | 16:17 |
| ikonia | Kl4m: would it be fair to say your seeing this behaviour in hardy | 16:17 |
| hoonteke | hrm, is there no gimpshop in the ubuntu/debian archives? | 16:17 |
| djhash | Travo: type ls -al | 16:17 |
| stoneDJay | Kinetic: its not good... :/ | 16:17 |
| Jezz | hi i have a WUBI ubuntu install and yesterday i booted it for the first time and updated it. Today i tried to boot it but i the only thing i get is busybox | 16:17 |
| Jezz | with initramfs command? | 16:17 |
| Travo | djhash, got something, what am I looking for | 16:17 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: did you see mipstien is having same issue ? | 16:17 |
| volksman | RyanPrior: sorry...envyNG! | 16:17 |
| remoteCTRL | kahrytan: download what specifically and why? | 16:17 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: i was just trying to read up what he wrote, yes... | 16:18 |
| kahrytan | remoteCTRL, Opera does debian packages for Ubuntu. And you can stay more up to date. | 16:18 |
| djhash | Travo: do you get a "c0d55429-c43b-4c5c-86d4-dfde0ee1146a" | 16:18 |
| RyanPrior | Jezz: I've had the same thing, and I think it has something to do with a flag that Windows sets on NTFS when it wants to do repairs or something. | 16:18 |
| babolat | ihtspam, neither can i and i have them on too.. odd | 16:18 |
| volksman | mipstien: what did it do? did it install the driver? | 16:18 |
| sabrina85 | hi folks :) | 16:18 |
| Jezz | ryan, did you manage to solve it? | 16:18 |
| RyanPrior | Jezz: Try starting up Windows, then shutting down cleanly, then booting into Ubuntu again. | 16:18 |
| cgentry72 | hwilde, no luck | 16:18 |
| kahrytan | remoteCTRL, They have Opera beta available for download. it is stable from what i can tell. | 16:18 |
| sabrina85 | how can I run apache's a2enmod ? it seems unavailable for me :( | 16:18 |
| Jezz | ok | 16:18 |
| mipstien | volksman it installs all the drivers but i keep comming up with the low res screen | 16:18 |
| Travo | djhash, yes it is listed as ../../dha5 | 16:18 |
| Kl4m | ikonia: I have a laptop that's doing the same thing right here, with a fresh hardy install via wubi | 16:18 |
| daveyboy27 | Right | 16:18 |
| dbmoodb | it didn't work and now i have scrollkeeper-up at 52% cpu so i have 100% cpu usage | 16:18 |
| Danie2 | hi | 16:19 |
| daveyboy27 | i need some help guys | 16:19 |
| Travo | *hda5 | 16:19 |
| remoteCTRL | kahrytan: i am actually fine with teh original repos;) exept for my hdds still rattling like hell | 16:19 |
| daveyboy27 | with java on ubuntu gutsy 7.10 | 16:19 |
| volksman | Jezz: didn't read the whole thread but if Windows wants to chkdsk it will make it REALLY hard to mount under linux | 16:19 |
| mipstien | volksman: nvidia settings aren't working either | 16:19 |
| kahrytan | remoteCTRL, maxtor/ | 16:19 |
| danis | how long does development usually take? | 16:19 |
| kahrytan | remoteCTRL, maxtor? | 16:19 |
| remoteCTRL | guys pls tell me why my hdds are rattling like crazy | 16:19 |
| daveyboy27 | how do i get runescape working it keeps saying " error loading applet"? | 16:19 |
| volksman | mipstien: what card? | 16:19 |
| djhash | Travo: how many hard drives and partitions do you have? | 16:19 |
| RyanPrior | volksman: How do you make Windows get its chkdsk over with? | 16:19 |
| remoteCTRL | kahrytan: nope 2x seagate barracuda and 4x samsung | 16:19 |
| mipstien | volksman nvidia 6600gt | 16:19 |
| candrews | is there a problem with http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ | 16:19 |
| soundray | Kl4m: read this creditable entry about this issue: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77672.html | 16:19 |
| candrews | I'm only getting at most 1k/s | 16:19 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: anyway, compiling the kernel with the driver would of course be an option, but before I get into big-time study sessions like that (I´ m working on my own flavour), I would like to know what caused the problem in the first place, because aas I´ ve always understood updates are not supposed to break the system; so I want the setting that f***d my rig gone... ya see ? | 16:19 |
| ikonia | Kl4m: I thought the bug had been removed a while ago, clearly not | 16:20 |
| candrews | And I'm fine to all other servers. | 16:20 |
| Travo | djhash, one hard drive, one cd-rom, and a floppy | 16:20 |
| volksman | RyanPrior: unfortunately boot windows and run ckdsk | 16:20 |
| Kl4m | remote: maybe this is a scrollkeeper update | 16:20 |
| ikonia | Deepthought: get a grip on the language please. | 16:20 |
| sabrina85 | anyone using apache2 here? | 16:20 |
| daveyboy27 | Guys | 16:20 |
| dbmoodb | yes why ? | 16:20 |
| bazhang | !ohmy | Deepthought | 16:20 |
| ubottu | Deepthought: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 16:20 |
| daveyboy27 | I NEED HELP! | 16:20 |
| RyanPrior | volksman: ckdsk, or chkdsk? | 16:20 |
| volksman | mipstien: hrm...should work fine...did you try to use the "manual" method and use an older driver? | 16:20 |
| jrib | !anyone | sabrina85 | 16:20 |
| ubottu | sabrina85: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:20 |
| Kl4m | soundray, ikonia: I've read all about it. I just can't believe it's still a problem | 16:20 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: you get a misconception there buddy;) | 16:20 |
| ikonia | daveyboy27: calm down, people will get to you | 16:20 |
| djhash | !ask | 16:20 |
| Deepthought | ikonia: sorry, guess stars hold no secrets to you guyz/girlz ... apologies | 16:20 |
| sabrina85 | dbmoodb: i can't find a2enmod :( | 16:20 |
| 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. :-) | 16:20 |
| babolat | daveyboy27, what gives | 16:20 |

| babolat | daveyboy27, and pls dont shout | 16:20 |
| soundray | Kl4m: well, if you read this one carefully, you will understand that it's not Ubuntu's problem | 16:21 |
| ikonia | soundray: its the old kernel issue I thought had been removed around .18 | 16:21 |
| Deepthought | remoteCTRL: what misconception ? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | or maybe even earlier | 16:21 |
| volksman | mipstien: hrm...weird...envyNg has been great to me....can you try again and check to ensure that /etc/X11/xorg.conf actually gets updated? | 16:21 |
| quartsize | Regarding gvfs-fuse-daemon: does it make sense for it to be mounted on /root/.gvfs? I have another system where it mounts to my home directory, and that kinda bothers me. | 16:21 |
| RyanPrior | Kl4m: It's not Ubuntu's problem, it's the hardware manufacturers' for setting bad defaults. Windows ignores manufacturers' defaults, which is a bug in Windows. | 16:21 |
| Kl4m | soundray: oh but it is. letting the hardware handle power management is stupid. Even Windows doesn't do it | 16:21 |
| sabrina85 | anyone? :( | 16:22 |
| remoteCTRL | Deepthought: if you keep on updating your original hardy image this wont happen, only if you upgrade to something that will not support certain parts of the existing kernel, like upgrading a kernel with nvidia drivers to one that hasnt got the perrequisited dependencies, in that case nvidia will be gone afterwards | 16:22 |

| RyanPrior | Kl4m: Who are the Ubuntu devs to override what the manufacturer suggests to be a good power setting? The ability is there for you to override the power settings, but Ubuntu doesn't do it by default, and probably never will. My suggestion: get better hardware, or fiddle with the power settings manually. | 16:23 |

| habit | jrib, there are different things. I mean that: I want to have kubuntu-kde4 desktop, and if I am will install just kde4-core, it is not actually what I need. | 17:46 |
| khakane | jrib: hrmm ok but will it bring gedit back with it? | 17:46 |
| ejer | meeper: it is a bit unstable, but works, don't depend on it... | 17:46 |
| BadChoice | hey, i have a problem, i mounted a new partition to fstab, but sometimes it is sda8 and other its sdb8, | 17:47 |
| jrib | khakane: yes, if you install -desktop it will bring it back | 17:47 |
| echogen | are there anyway to know what would be the numbers of my partition in linux ? | 17:47 |
| djhash | Travo: Let me check | 17:47 |
| BadChoice | then I have when I start and the name is changed I have to go to tty and mount it manually | 17:47 |
| GregVernon | the heck is this nonsense: su /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:47 |
| GregVernon | Unknown id: /etc/init.d/networking | 17:47 |
| danbhfive | echogen: sudo fdisk -l | 17:47 |
| BadChoice | does anyone know how to avoid this? | 17:47 |
| khakane | jrib: ok as long as i dont NEED ubuntu-desktop im fine with that | 17:47 |
| GregVernon | waaaaaaaaaait | 17:48 |
| jrib | habit: your sentence doesn't make sense. If you want kubuntu-desktop, just install the kubuntu-desktop package. You'll be given an option as to which to load at the login screen | 17:48 |
| ihtspam | GregVernon: sudo not su | 17:48 |
| jrib | khakane: yep, you don't need it | 17:48 |
| khakane | jrib: thanks | 17:48 |
| GregVernon | ihtspam, yeah, just got that | 17:48 |
| ejer | John117: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/networking-shares.html | 17:48 |
| BadChoice | the other partitions have strange numbers before, I think that its how it mounts automatically sda or sdb | 17:48 |
| ejer | wish ubuntu docs were not so hidden | 17:48 |
| djhash | Travo: load gnome partition editor.. it'll atleast tell you what type of filesystem it is.. | 17:48 |
| echogen | danbhfive: i mean from windows, if i dont have linux installed | 17:48 |
| === proteusguy is now known as proteus_away | ||
| GregVernon | more often than not I'll su into root... thats where the issue came up... | 17:48 |
| echogen | cz i am trying, the install from hardisk option | 17:49 |
| jrib | !away > proteus_away (read the private message from ubotu) | 17:49 |
| danbhfive | echogen: you can try in #windows | 17:49 |
| Werecow | Could someone tell me if there is a better channel to get help with my question? | 17:49 |
| BadChoice | does anyone know how to solve this? | 17:49 |
| John117 | ejer: Thank you.. So i can't share an entire drive, only a specific folder? | 17:49 |
| jrib | !support > werecow (read the private message from ubotu) | 17:49 |
| mkz | I've used trickle to limit the bandwidth I consume on a case-by-case basis, but occationally I run into a situation where I can't user trickle. I need two things: first, I need a reliable way to determine what my current bandwidth consumption is (preferably CLI). Second, a means to configure my bandwidth limits on a broader basis. | 17:50 |
| ejer | John117: you can share a drive, but they are mounted in folders anyways, so it is really a folder... like /media/mywindowsdrive or whatever | 17:50 |
| djhash | Werecow: i think there is a #network channel | 17:50 |
| GregVernon | ejer, no difference after a restarted network | 17:50 |
| ejer | GregVernon: what exactly cannot access internet | 17:50 |
| djhash | Werecow: ignore it.. seems empty | 17:50 |
| GregVernon | ejer, it seems like everything except Pidgin | 17:51 |
| staar2 | how to install usb printer ? | 17:51 |
| Werecow | i'm brand new to linux, so i'm needing a little assistance, lol. i've read the webpages and haven't found anything close to what i need. | 17:51 |
| soundray | GregVernon: don't forget ping | 17:51 |
| djhash | Werecow: try "ifup eth0" where eth0 is the network device | 17:51 |
| dug_ | staar2: what kind of printer? if hp see hplib (hp-setup and hp-toolbox commands) | 17:51 |
| ejer | GregVernon: and u r sure pidgin is not just timing out connecting to msn or something | 17:51 |
| staar2 | hp | 17:51 |
| GregVernon | soundray: yeah, my bad... | 17:51 |
| GregVernon | ejer, I'm on Pidgin right now.... | 17:51 |
| BadChoice | I've mounted a new partitons, but sometimes is sda8 and others its sdb8, then I can't use just one in fstab, anyone knows how to solve this? | 17:52 |
| djhash | Travo: have you loaded gnome partition editor | 17:52 |
| dug_ | staar2: install hplip package and then run hp-setup after printer is connected and turned on | 17:52 |
| ejer | oops | 17:52 |
| jrib | staar2: sometimes you can just plug them in and turn them on | 17:52 |
| mneptok | Werecow: what kind of connection are you trying to use? | 17:52 |
| dug_ | staar2: sudo hp-setup i mean | 17:52 |

| ejer | eax: google | 17:56 |
| mneptok | PyChild: "broken" means "the package does not work." | 17:56 |
| soundray | ldiamond: you'd have to compile it yourself, but that's not recommended | 17:56 |
| draeath | errpast: i myself didn't see it as a restricted driver. i just had an interface after that that i could manipulate as normal (but i don't do it the easy way) | 17:56 |
| eax | Ejer: Thanks :) | 17:56 |
| ldiamond | Why not? | 17:56 |

| errpast | draeath, I have a BCM4310 | 18:00 |

| ccooke | rambo3: Choose 'Edit current profile' | 18:01 |

| soundray | ldiamond: ubuntu relies on the kernel, so your problem is highly relevant to ubuntu. | 18:04 |
| lobazo | with other archive .cue | 18:04 |
| draeath | errpast: pick through "lsmod" and see if you see anything interesting. likely module would start with "b43" | 18:04 |
| errpast | draeath, it seems that way. but lsmod shows a bunch of b53 entries. | 18:04 |
| lobazo | i can burtn that in windows with autoflac and eac | 18:04 |
| GregVernon | ugh | 18:04 |
| soundray | BadChoice: I made it give you that factoid. Look: | 18:05 |
| draeath | errpast: wierd. perhaps it's trying to modprobe a module for the wrong chipset? | 18:05 |
| soundray | !uuid | BadChoice | 18:05 |
| ubottu | BadChoice: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 18:05 |

| glavanway | Hello all first time I have used screen and irc! | 18:05 |
| draeath | errpast: what was your device again? | 18:05 |
| soundray | ldiamond: so keep looking. Maybe someone has posted a workaround. Which driver is it, anyway? | 18:05 |
| ejer | GregVernon: check FF network settings, check all your network settings, DNS, route, etc | 18:05 |
| BadChoice | soundray: wuoooo, I was seeing this in the tittle to type msg ubottu etiquette | 18:05 |
| mikeooooo | ok this is weird, sound works in the flash plugin, but not in anything else | 18:06 |
| kunwon1 | Okay. ejer mentioned that dmesg might help me diagnose my system freezes, but dmesg only outputs boot messages. Is there some setting I can change? log level? debug level? | 18:06 |

| errpast | draeath I guess I lied. I don't see b53 with lsmod. I think I rmmod a while ago. modprobe b53 says it can't find module | 18:07 |

| MMM | i have this problem (actually two).. How i can get radeon x300 with dual monitor support to work... I have read every thing on the forums and i always get to point where nothign works anymore | 18:27 |
| orudie | hey all, after dropping an 8 gb database, my diskpace didnt decrease | 18:27 |
| hischild | John117: Unless you create a shortcut, yes. | 18:27 |
| orudie | i'm sorry if i'm being silly, but maybe i should empty my "trash" lol | 18:27 |
| orudie | just like in windows | 18:27 |
| MMM | does anyone know any good tutorial ? | 18:27 |
| el1te | let me ask this....can i raid0 two usb flash drives? | 18:27 |
| doug_ | John117: wow seems your popular in here lol | 18:27 |
| el1te | and install to that somehow | 18:27 |
| hischild | soundray: from my experience, gedit is one app that runs fine with sudo. But i am aware of the difference. Thanks for the link though. | 18:28 |
| soundray | orudie: wouldn't you expect it to *in*crease? | 18:28 |
| doug_ | soundray: i use sudo gedit not gksudo | 18:28 |
| orudie | soundray, heh | 18:28 |
| el1te | does anyone know anything in here | 18:28 |
| ejer | orudie: look in /var/lib/mysql | 18:28 |
| orudie | soundray, i expect it to decrease and it didnt, thats what i was trying to say | 18:28 |
| sipior | el1te: well, we know manners, i suppose | 18:28 |
| ejer | no el1te | 18:28 |
| soundray | hischild, doug: it seems rather unwieldy to say 'graphical programs are not safe to run with sudo, except maybe gedit' | 18:28 |
| mikeooooo | how do i get xmms back in 8.04? | 18:29 |
| el1te | :) | 18:29 |
| hischild | doug_: gksudo is better then sudo in this case. | 18:29 |
| mikeooooo | i upgraded and it disappeared | 18:29 |
| orudie | ejer, look for what there?? | 18:29 |
| el1te | hmmm | 18:29 |
| hischild | soundray: yes it does. I agree i should've suggested to use gksudo instead of sudo | 18:29 |
| orudie | ejer, i'm already there | 18:29 |
| letubenaiah | hey guys! where do I find what my search path is? | 18:29 |
| soundray | orudie: by 'dropping', you mean deleting, though, don't you? | 18:29 |
| doug_ | hischild: and soundray only when sudo wont work i do gksudo | 18:29 |
| churchill | I am using Mint (please don't stone me), anyone know their channel OR anyone feel like helping with ndiswrapper issue at startup (as in, having to manually reload the drivers each time)? | 18:30 |
| orudie | soundray, i used phpmyadmin to drop the contents of the database without deleting the database name and rules | 18:30 |
| orudie | soundray, but i sure did drop the contents | 18:30 |
| soundray | doug_: please read the link and then mend your ways | 18:30 |
| hischild | churchill: only advice i can give is to add it in modules. | 18:30 |
| el1te | anyone know if the ubuntu installer lets you create a USB RAID0 set ? | 18:30 |
| soundray | !gksudo | doug_ | 18:30 |
| ubottu | doug_: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:30 |
| orudie | soudso now its an empty database as it shows in phpmyadmin | 18:30 |
| hischild | doug_: it IS better to use gksudo. | 18:30 |
| sipior | letubenaiah: you mean for executables? echo $PATH | 18:30 |
| churchill | hischild: will see what that does , thx | 18:30 |
| ejer | el1te: sounds theoretically possible, alternate cd should do it | 18:31 |
| orudie | soundray, now its an empty database as it shows in phpmyadmin | 18:31 |
| Travo | ejer you there? | 18:31 |
| orudie | soundray, or according to it | 18:31 |
| * ejer pokes himself | 18:31 | |
| soundray | orudie: so the net result should be an *increase* or a *decrease* in available disk space? | 18:31 |
| EthanL | Stupid question but; could anyone please tell me how to change font colour in Kopete? =p iv found several font colour settings but none of them seem to be the right ones =s | 18:31 |
| el1te | ejer do you think that cd will also let me install in tv-out mode | 18:31 |
| el1te | i got a funky configuration :) | 18:31 |
| orudie | soundray, should be the decrease | 18:31 |
| Travo | ejer: hey remember my issue earlier? I read somewhere to try to use gnome partition manager to get it going... any ideas? | 18:31 |
| ejer | el1te: that sounds more doubtful, but in text mode, yes it is possible | 18:32 |
| orudie | soundray, and the empty diskpace didnt change | 18:32 |
| ejer | Travo: i never really knew your full issue | 18:32 |
| el1te | hey text mode is fine with me | 18:32 |
| John117 | Okay... I have the drive shared. I can see it on the network when I access with my Vista/XP machines. Can i disable the part where it asks for a user/password? | 18:32 |
| bladerunner | here's a good one for any ubuntu-elite. how do i remove all possible backgrounds in appearnce preferences. I added thousands of images to the background section and now it takes forever to load so want to strip it back down. at present I have to remove them 1 by 1 as you can't select all. where is this conf file kept so i can cleanse it!!! lol! ;) | 18:32 |
| Travo | ejer: I could not get my drive to mount | 18:32 |
| el1te | as long as i can get installed ill do rest from there | 18:32 |
| soundray | orudie: it just doesn't make sense -- why should it decrease ( = become less)? | 18:32 |
| ejer | el1te: try and boot and see if tv-out works | 18:32 |
| ejer | soundray: cause he is dropping 8GB DB ? | 18:32 |
| gondim2 | Hi. I'm having this problem with apache in Ubuntu 8.04: Apache is consuming more tasks because the increased time_waits. Someone could help? :D | 18:32 |
| orudie | soundray, ooops sorry, the empty disk space should be increased | 18:32 |
| el1te | when i boot now....post....before windows comes on...my post screen rolls pretty bad | 18:33 |
| orudie | soundray, i'm sorry i'm still sleepy | 18:33 |
| ompaul | bladerunner, well why not work it out, sudo updatedb ; locate picture-name-here.jpg-or-whatever and find out | 18:33 |
| soundray | ejer: he's managed to pull the wool over his own head *and* yours :D | 18:33 |
| orudie | soundray, so i should have MORE space, and i dont | 18:33 |
| ejer | Travo: give me some details, what type of drive, what error, how did it come about etc | 18:33 |
| Cobra2150 | I just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and the only way I can get my comp to boot is to select the recovery option from Grub and then when it comes up to click resume normal boot, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I am fairly new to linux. | 18:33 |
| georgia_ | anyone know if theres any way to fix desktop icons after upgrading to 8.04? i'm getting an error "there is no application installed for this file type" when trying to open shortcuts to folders | 18:33 |
| AngryElf | how do I force a second instance of gedit to open instead of a new tab? | 18:33 |
| ejer | soundray: i think it is obvious he means usage decrease? | 18:33 |
| Travo | ejer: internal ide, approx 30GB, ext3 filesys. | 18:33 |
| ejer | semantics | 18:33 |
| doug_ | soundray: and hischild then whn i do updates like sudo apt-get update i should gksudo instead? same as removing stuff gksudo apt-get --purge remove | 18:34 |
| bladerunner | ompaul: will that work? don't want to remove the folder with images in. I want to remove the entries in a text file | 18:34 |
| hischild | ejer: soundray, i've been watching it. It wasn't quite clear. | 18:34 |
| ejer | Travo: have you tried to use the gnome disk mounter to do it | 18:34 |
| letubenaiah | where can I change that search path for executables? | 18:34 |
| === gavin__ is now known as kingvin | ||
| hischild | doug_: please read more carefully. When using GRAPHICAL apps you should use gksudo. For command line use sudo. | 18:34 |
| ejer | doug_: gksudo for GUI stuff, sudo for CLI stuff | 18:34 |
| ompaul | bladerunner, it will show you where the files are after that it is up to you | 18:34 |
| === Leftmost is now known as Lunchmost | ||
| mikeooooo | where is xmms? | 18:34 |
| soundray | doug_: no. You should use gksudo with graphical programs. With apt-get, it doesn't matter whether you sudo or gksudo | 18:34 |
| repete | letubenaiah: use `which` | 18:34 |
| LaneLimited | orudie: So you delete somethig that was 8gb's and it didn't free up the space? I had that problem 300mb's from syantic manager.... gotta MARK FOR FULL REMOVAL or something | 18:34 |
| ejer | but i guess you can always use gksudo as long as gnome is installed | 18:34 |
| bladerunner | ompaul: don't think you understand me | 18:35 |
| Travo | ejer: error, http://pastebin.com/m19ba65b5 | 18:35 |
| offload | Does anyone know how to enable or install the Compiz Screenshot Plugin. I want the ability to screenshot just selected rectangles with my mouse. I've read that this is available but not sure where to start. Google kinda failed me. | 18:35 |
| soundray | mikeooooo: discontinued. Try audacious (a fork of xmms) | 18:35 |
| repete | letubenaiah: i.e. `which bash` | 18:35 |
| === gavin__ is now known as kingvin | ||
| bladerunner | ompaul: I KNOW where the files are ;0) | 18:35 |
| orudie | LaneLimited, yeah | 18:35 |
| SliM1 | pleaseee ;( how do i manually upgrade from a cd | 18:35 |
| orudie | soundray, anything i can try ? | 18:35 |
| doug_ | see i kinda am lost with the graphics thing. | 18:35 |
| bladerunner | ompaul: i want to remove their ENTRIES in a *.conf file | 18:35 |
| hischild | offload: install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable the screenshot plugin under system->preferences-> advanced settings. | 18:35 |
| letubenaiah | repete: doesn't that just tell me were that command will be run from? | 18:35 |
| kingvin | can anyone help me...how do i install vmware on ubuntu 8.04 | 18:35 |
| steven__ | oh | 18:35 |
| ompaul | bladerunner, ahhhhhhh | 18:35 |
| bladerunner | ompaul: ;) | 18:35 |
| Cobra2150 | I just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and the only way I can get my comp to boot is to select the recovery option from Grub and then when it comes up to click resume normal boot, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? | 18:35 |
| soundray | orudie: I think it's just a matter of waiting for the dbms to do its garbage collection | 18:35 |
| LaneLimited | orudie: I know what to do! Find the file in your hard drive and delete it! | 18:35 |
| letubenaiah | I want to remove a certain directory from my search path | 18:35 |
| repete | letubenaiah: yes, very sorry, just realized I misread your question | 18:36 |
| soundray | orudie: alternatively, use mysqldump to back up the database, then drop it and restore | 18:36 |
| dug_ | mikeooooo: I'd really recommend you use audacious instead of xmms, xmms had problems for me in gutsy | 18:36 |
| bladerunner | ompaul: but I suppose I could grep for that text entry.. but I haven't really got the hang of grep yet | 18:36 |
| ejer | Travo: looks like a serious filesystem error, you could try an fsck, but... if it is feasible, I would suggest a reinstall perhaps | 18:36 |
| MMM | so.. anyone know any tutorial how i actually do get redeon x300 working with 2 monitors? | 18:36 |
| repete | letubenaiah: you can customize the search path with ~/.bashrc | 18:36 |
| exp_ | wine+foobar = FTW | 18:36 |
| * bladerunner goes off to man grep | 18:36 | |
| dug_ | audacious is practically a clone of xmms/winamp | 18:36 |
| hischild | bladerunner: grep <search> -i <file> iirc | 18:36 |
| ejer | exp_: eac works in wine too supposedly | 18:37 |
| Travo | ejer, could we check/repair from partition manager? | 18:37 |
| orudie | soundray, i dont need to back it up, i just want to delete/remove it completely so that i have more space | 18:37 |
| ompaul | bladerunner, perhaps | 18:37 |
| pavs | is it possible to change a file system after installing a linux syste,? | 18:37 |
| mikeooooo | do winamp skins work in audacious? | 18:37 |
| bladerunner | hischild: I want to locate the word 1600x1200.jpg in a system .conf file | 18:37 |
| ejer | Travo: you can from livecd, or try UBCD | 18:37 |
| mikeooooo | and can i still control it through the command line? | 18:37 |
| Travo | ok | 18:37 |
| bladerunner | ompaul: no - _for_sure_! | 18:37 |
| ejer | bladerunner: cat file | grep '1600x1200.jpg' | 18:37 |
| mikeooooo | had it working with the extra buttons on my mouse controlling the playback | 18:37 |
| sipior | pavs: sure, as long as you have everything backed up... | 18:38 |
| repete | letubenaiah: what do you want to remove from your path? Any why? | 18:38 |
| dug_ | mikeooooo: apparently 2.0 or lower winamp skins will work in audacious: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=670058 | 18:38 |
| repete | man, this channel is confusing :-) | 18:38 |
| Fritzel``` | hmm irssi isn't too bad I think I could actually use it | 18:38 |
| repete | too much traffic | 18:38 |
| ejer | bladerunner: but that will just confirm presence of line, you could do nano file.txt, then CTRL-W to search and type your search and hit enter | 18:38 |
| pavs | how to check which file system i currently using in command line? I know I am using ext3 but I want to know in command line | 18:38 |

| soundray | orudie: have you tried restarting the DBMS server? | 18:39 |
| letubenaiah | repete: it appears that I've somehow added ~/mono1.9.1/ to it and it is running pkt-config from there instead of /usr/bin | 18:39 |
| bladerunner | ejer: i don't know what the file is called. that is what I'm trying to find ;0) | 18:39 |
| dwxreaper | why does x-windows not work until you kill certain processes | 18:39 |
| === jason___ is now known as DaWerecow | ||
| ompaul | repete, well ask your question on one line, in one go, and then see if someone answers if not ask again in 15 minutes | 18:39 |
| Travo | ejer: I want to avoid reformating as best as possible. I got somebody to assist me in getting it set JUST RIGHT, with a compiled kernel and programs that have been finely tweaked, lotta hours put into this box that I know VERY VERY little about compared to ya'll guru's | 18:39 |
| ejer | bladerunner: what exactly do you want to do | 18:39 |
| MrObvious | jason___: /msg nickserv ghost nickname password will kill it. | 18:39 |
| John117 | Okay... I have the drive shared. I can see it on the network when I access with my Vista/XP machines. Can i disable the part where it asks for a user/password? | 18:39 |

| hischild | bladerunner: uhm ... wait i think i have one for that | 18:40 |
| orudie | soundray no | 18:40 |
| bladerunner | ejer: find the system file that has all the entries for the background images you choose to add in appearance preferences. logically this file shouold contain the image "1600x1200.jpg" somewhere in there so thats what I'm using to locate it | 18:40 |
| dug_ | man edubuntu is an ugly yellow | 18:40 |
| letubenaiah | repete: the problem that I'm seeing now is that ~/.bashrc doesn't seem to have any path stuff set in it | 18:41 |

| exp_ | anyone familiar with SDLMame i have a few simple questions | 18:42 |
| bladerunner | !ask | exp_ | 18:43 |

| ejer | yes John117 | 18:44 |
| repete | letubenaiah: ok, well if you want to re-define your path you can add a line in ~/.bashrc liked "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/special/application/path" | 18:44 |
| exp_ | I've successfully installed SDLMAME for Ubuntu AMD64 version. I have found no shortcuts and cannot find the installation directory. Anyone familiar with this program? | 18:44 |
| hischild | ejer: that command to bladerunner won't seem to function ... well not in a test on this end. | 18:45 |
| repete | letubenaiah: the $PATH at the beginning will use your existing path, and the "/opt/special/application/path" is just an example of a new path you want to append | 18:45 |
| pavs | how do i change my ext3 file system to rieserfs? | 18:45 |
| bladerunner | ejer: hischild: no it doesn't | 18:45 |
| Travo | ejer: IT MOUNTED (sorry for caps) | 18:45 |
| repete | letubenaiah: bash searches the path in order, so if you want bash to find your binaries first, then put your new path _before_ $PATH | 18:46 |
| kesi | Help please. Themes from Ubuntu-extras won't stick and give this error:/usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:181: Invalid symbolic color 'tooltip_bg_color' | 18:46 |

| letubenaiah | repete: so with that will I still have that already existing unwanted directory in the new search path? | 18:46 |
| letubenaiah | repete: and will I have to do anything else to make those changes take affect? | 18:47 |
| ejer | bladerunner: hischild sorry 'grep -R '1600x1200' /home/youruser | 18:47 |
| repete | letubenaiah: yes, but I'm unclear on why you want to remove any of the directories from the defined system path | 18:47 |
| ejer | bladerunner: or rgrep '1600x1200' /home/youruser | 18:47 |
| repete | letubenaiah: if you just have a custom compiled version of an application then you can append your custom path before $PATH and that new binary will be used instead | 18:48 |
| hischild | bladerunner: ejer: i got this so far which will echo the lines ... just bugged at the files :( | 18:48 |
| hischild | bladerunner: ejer: for i in $(find ~ -type f | grep .conf) ; do grep 1600 $i; done | 18:48 |

| ejer | good stuff Travo | 18:49 |
| repete | letubenaiah: you will have to logout and login in again, or 'source ~/.bashrc' | 18:49 |
| letubenaiah | repete: its because I think it I somehow added one that is not supposed to be there...and it is the first on in the list...its /home/benaiah/mono-1.9.1/bin...is that one that is normally there? The problem is that I don't want pkg-config to run from there but from /usr/bin | 18:49 |

| ar3ac | someone can tell me if there is a bug ? | 18:50 |
| mikeooooo | audacious kind of sucks when i run audacious -f it opens a new one instead of controling the open one | 18:50 |
| repete | letubenaiah: hmmm.... If you don't know how to edit the path in the first place, I'm not sure how you would have added that path | 18:50 |

| LaneLimited | Please how do i install normal audio drivers .... like a codec??? or sosmething .. I have sound... but i know my speakers should be louder and my sound is not working on Zsnes at all | 18:50 |
| letubenaiah | repete: lol me either | 18:50 |
| bladerunner | is there any way to limit burn speed in brasero. doesn't appear to be an easy option anywhere | 18:51 |
| repete | letubenaiah: it may be that some (mono-based) application you installed munged the path | 18:51 |
| indian_munnda | genii: r u there???? | 18:51 |
| bladerunner | LaneLimited: drivers are _not_codecs_: have you tried turning the volume up on your alsa mixer? | 18:52 |
| repete | letubenaiah: afaik, the current version of Ubuntu is using mono 1.2.6, so that must be an errant package | 18:52 |
| eaglestar83 | hi my sound doesn't work correctly i heard there was a bug, should i reinstall alsa? basically i can't open totem to play music when firefox is running many times. i can't use more than 1 sound channel or something. | 18:53 |
| John117 | ejer: I figured it out: When you RC on the folder and set your sharing, you can select "allow guest" and it won't ask for a password. Thanks again for your patience and your help. | 18:53 |
| eaglestar83 | when youtube is on i can't play anything in totem | 18:53 |
| LaneLimited | bladerunner: sorry for bad example but when you install windows XP .. you go to device manager and search and install your audio stuff...... Is there a way to do something like that? | 18:53 |
| ejer | great find John117 good work | 18:53 |
| bladerunner | LaneLimited: it does is by default | 18:54 |
| bladerunner | LaneLimited: if you have sound - then it worked | 18:54 |
| LaneLimited | bladerunner: No i havn't tried... will do that now.... but i still should of had sound in Zsnes?? | 18:54 |
| mbarlow310 | yo, anyone have any good examples of ubuntu server usage in corporations? | 18:54 |
| bladerunner | LaneLimited: that could be any number of things.. have you searched google for bugs related to zsnes and no sound? | 18:55 |

| LaneLimited | bladerunner: i just got zsnes ...... does this emulator work with sound..... I have used Zsnes on wwindows A LOT | 18:55 |
| mbarlow310 | i'm using it here internally where I work on 1 prod server and 2 dev servers, but I'm hitting resistance from the redhat guys here | 18:55 |
| spanther | dug_, its child friendly :) | 18:56 |
| ejer | mbarlow310: maybe get started at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEasyBusinessServer look at links below | 18:56 |
| arakthor | mbarlow310: the company I work for uses ubuntu servers. that's the only stats I can give you though :P | 18:56 |
| cwillu | ah, redhat, the microsoft of the linux world | 18:56 |
| shane2peru_ | help, lock ups on the computer are not impressing my wife, she want's gutsy back | 18:56 |
| mbarlow310 | cwillu: haha, that's exactly what i was thinking | 18:56 |
| nanonyme | Hi, how do you disable Compiz altogether? | 18:56 |
| churchil_ | anyone good with ndiswrapper ? | 18:56 |
| cwillu | shane2peru, what kind of lockups | 18:56 |
| danbhfive | churchil_: whats the problem? | 18:56 |
| * cwillu curses. This is how he spent 12 hours in #ubuntu _last_ time | 18:56 | |
| bladerunner | LaneLimited: don't know haven't used it ;) sorry! | 18:57 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, it just locks up, this last time the screen saver was on | 18:57 |
| ejer | nanonyme: system>prefs>appearance>visual effects = none | 18:57 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, I think it may have to do with ATI drivers. | 18:57 |
| mbarlow310 | this reminds me of the arguments i had at last company with the MS guys on trying (succesfully, i might add) to get the initial linux boxes in | 18:57 |
| churchil_ | danbhfive: ndiswrapper loads winxp drivers just fine but loses the card on reboot | 18:57 |
| ejer | mbarlow310: as long as they are linux :) | 18:57 |
| === profxavier is now known as wolferine | ||
| letubenaiah | repete: I don't think I was using that version of mono for anything and it had a little uninstaller there so I removed it and that fixed the problem! Thanks! | 18:57 |
| danbhfive | !ndiswrapper > churchil_ danbhfive | 18:57 |
| churchil_ | danbhfive: the drivers remain.. when I open the GUI ndiswrapper, I see it sees the drivers, but the OS doesn't see the wireless card | 18:57 |
| nanonyme | Thank you. | 18:57 |
| bladerunner | LaneLimited:: there's alot of discussion about it on google! type "zsnes no sound ubuntu" in google. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103465 | 18:58 |
| cwillu | mbarlow310, start calling it debian :p | 18:58 |

| repete | letubenaiah: glad it wasn't more thorny than that ;-) | 18:58 |
| orudie | i'm trying /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p mysql | 18:58 |
| doug_ | !ndiswrapper | danbhfive | 18:58 |
| ubottu | danbhfive: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 18:58 |
| orudie | i get error no such file or directory | 18:58 |
| mikeooooo | so who is using audacious? | 18:58 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, not sure on this machine, let me see if I can figure it out. | 18:58 |
| mikeooooo | and how do you get the command line options to work | 18:58 |
| mikeooooo | right now it just opens a new player instead of doing the command line options | 18:59 |
| ejer | orudie: what are u trying to do | 18:59 |
| eaglestar83 | my sound doesn't work correctly i heard there was a bug, should i reinstall alsa? basically i can't open totem to play music when firefox is running many times. i can't use more than 1 sound channel or something. | 18:59 |
| orudie | ejer, start mysql lol | 18:59 |
| mbarlow310 | cwillu: actually, i did, but the flack is there since our sysadmin just got rhat cert | 18:59 |
| orudie | ejer, then create a database | 18:59 |
| ejer | orudie: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql-server restart | 18:59 |
| cwillu | mbarlow310, 90% of what he got certified in will still apply :/ | 18:59 |
| ejer | orudie: then go read mysql dox :) | 18:59 |
| danbhfive | churchil_: well, that page isnt helpful :( try adding ndiswrapper onto /etc/modprobe and also running ndiswrapper -m see if that works | 18:59 |
| orudie | ejer, that didnt work for me | 18:59 |
| wolferine | eaglestar83, had the same issues in the past myself, I just used a different media player, and we are all good :D | 18:59 |
| exp_ | For the record I successfully got "wahcade" mame front end working on AMD64 Heron 8.04 working | 18:59 |
| ReleaseX | when I run firefox from the launcher and try to watch a flash video, it will crash, but if i launch firefox from the command line and watch the same exact video everything is fine | 18:59 |
| bladerunner | eaglestar83: i get this too | 18:59 |
| exp_ | http://www.anti-particle.com/wahcade_dl.shtml | 18:59 |
| orudie | ejer, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart worked though | 19:00 |
| eaglestar83 | yeah bladerunner you know any fix? | 19:00 |
| Davyboy | hello room. i am trying to make this laptop suspend to ram and hibernate. i found a howto explaining how to edit my etc/default/acpi however I am unable to save to this file. I says I do not have permission. How can I save this if I cannot log in as root? | 19:00 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, here it is I think: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] | 19:00 |
| cwillu | ReleaseX, can you check synaptic if you have libflashsupport installed? | 19:00 |
| bladerunner | eaglestar83: nope | 19:00 |
| churchil_ | danbhfive: they say something similar on a link to that page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29#autostart | 19:00 |
| stoneDJay | Hi .. Im trying to remove totem from my system, but synaptic tell me about dependencies like brasero, gnome-games, deskbar-applet, etc... that has nothing to do with it! How could I remove this crap app? | 19:00 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, that was from lspci | 19:00 |
| orudie | i guess i need the mysql client do i ? | 19:00 |
| eaglestar83 | it is a pain in the a$$ because i have to close firefox whenever i want to play a sound file | 19:00 |
| cwillu | shane2peru, are you using the restricted driver (i.e., the ubuntu installed one), or something you downloaded and installed yourself? | 19:00 |
| ReleaseX | cwillu: i do | 19:00 |
| bladerunner | eaglestar83: it is strange | 19:01 |
| wolferine | orudie, there is a #mysql | 19:01 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, I'm using the Ubuntu restricted ones, haven't downloaded anything .... ... yet. :) | 19:01 |
| doug_ | stoneDJay: apt-get --purge remove totem | 19:01 |
| cwillu | ReleaseX, it has nothing to do with running it from the command line or not then; it's an open problem; uninstall libflashsupport and restart firefox, and it'll stop crashing, but you'll probably lose mixing while any flash is open | 19:01 |
| shane2peru_ | cwillu, would I be better off getting the ATI drivers straight from their web page? | 19:01 |
| wolferine | eaglestar83, use amarok, that should do the trick.. | 19:01 |
| kesi | although nobody answered me, here is the answer. It's a bug in HH: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-themes-extras/+bug/215472 | 19:01 |

| hexdrea1 | Hi. I'm looking for help with a sound problem (Hardy Heron).

I am using a Soundblaster live with 5.1 speakers. Any help would be appreciated. | 19:02 |
| eaglestar83 | wolferine why is that | 19:02 |
| cwillu | ReleaseX, there should be a proper fix in the next while (it's a bug in adobe's flashplayer that they're working on | 19:02 |
| doug_ | shane2peru try envy it has ati driver install. | 19:02 |
| ReleaseX | cwillu: ok, thanks | 19:02 |
| cwillu | ReleaseX, go to https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-146 and vote for the bug | 19:02 |

| hischild | !envy | shane2peru_ | 19:02 |
| doug_ | shane2peruit is for ati and nvidia drivers. | 19:02 |
| ubottu | shane2peru_: 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. | 19:02 |
| eaglestar83 | wolferine i have to close firefox if youtube is running to play a sound file | 19:02 |

| eaglestar83 | used ubuntu for 3 years | 19:03 |
| doug_ | shane2peru_: envy is in the synaptics manager | 19:04 |
| ejer | k20a: the command is sudo swapoff -a | 19:04 |
| eaglestar83 | but don't know how to fix things | 19:04 |
| wolferine | eaglestar83, are you able to read :D | 19:04 |
| Pelo | k20a, just make it smaller then, apps actualy use the swap, they need it to be there even if it is small | 19:04 |
| wolferine | !enter | eaglestar83 | 19:04 |
| ubottu | eaglestar83: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:04 |
| cwillu | shane2peru, google, but use the package in the repository if you decide to use it | 19:04 |
| shane2peru_ | doug_, ahh, ok, thanks! | 19:04 |
| doug_ | stoneDJay: not sure . but it will remove the totem player. | 19:04 |

| ejer | k20a: sudo swapon -a :) | 19:05 |
| k20a | yeah i just wasn't sure cause i didn't know what the -a is for | 19:05 |
| doug_ | shane2peru_: do make sure u go to apps add/remove and click show all applications at top and type in hardware and get the two hardware drivers then install those as well. | 19:05 |
| hischild | Pelo: (1) i know. I've had some slow transfers to usb with hardy. (2) Would you be surprised if i don't have a swap file with 2Gb ram on one pc and 3Gb ram on the other? | 19:05 |
| ejer | k20a: all - instead of trying to figure out where your swap partition is | 19:05 |
| drivetrax | do you know.. firestarter.. it does not show as a process | 19:06 |
| shane2peru_ | doug_, in synaptic? what are you refering too? | 19:06 |
| d4t4min3r | im having problems with flash files im trying to watch online | 19:06 |

| d4t4min3r | can somenoe help me | 19:06 |
| d4t4min3r | im using gnash and it just freazes up | 19:06 |

| d4t4min3r | is there something better i can use | 19:06 |
| doug_ | shane2peru_ the system synaptic where u can look for stuff and install it via that. | 19:06 |
| hischild | ejer: if i open up all my tabs, it won't use any swap still. I decided my space would be put to better use not having one. | 19:06 |
| drivetrax | d4t4min3r, what is FlashPlayer-( ? | 19:06 |
| obf213 | has anyone had the problem with keyboard not working somtimes after a suspend | 19:06 |
| d4t4min3r | drivetrax: ? i dont follow | 19:07 |
| hischild | s/tabs/programs | 19:07 |
| shane2peru_ | doug_, from the Applications -> Add or Remove right? | 19:07 |
| Pelo | hischild, I'm always ready to be corrected, i need to learn stuff just like everyone else | 19:07 |
| ejer | hischild: it is there for a reason, but like I said, if u r happy.... | 19:07 |
| drivetrax | d4t4min3r, the answer.... flashPlayer_9 | 19:07 |
| doug_ | shane2peru_ yes from add/remove | 19:07 |
| stoneDJay | damn it... still trying to remove another apps... like brasero, gnome-games, deskbar-applet... etc. | 19:07 |
| d4t4min3r | drivetrax: how do i install that.. is it in add / remove programs | 19:07 |
| ejer | you will see speed improvements with swap, especially in file transfers | 19:07 |
| mike-ekim | Im trying to setup wireless, I have all drivers set up and recognized with ndiswrapper, and i copied an interfaces file from a working computer, but I am getting a problem with devvice wlan0 | 19:07 |
| hischild | ejer: may i ask how much ram you use under normal use? I'm curious, as it might be much more them i use. I hardly go over 400 meg. | 19:07 |
| stoneDJay | doug_ damn it... still trying to remove another apps... like brasero, gnome-games, deskbar-applet... etc. | 19:07 |
| mike-ekim | i dont think the alias was created for it, maybe i missed that step? | 19:07 |
| hischild | Pelo: ofcourse a swap does have it's uses. | 19:07 |
| drivetrax | d4t4min3r, be aware you may also have buggs wid flash | 19:07 |

| pvandewyngaerde | where is the virtualbox kernel module for .17 ? | 19:08 |
| mike-ekim | is there something I need to do to make the wlan0 alias bind with the wireless adapter? | 19:08 |
| drivetrax | d4t4min3r, -- multiverse... look there yeah | 19:08 |
| ejer | hischild: linux memory management is slightly complex :) I use about 8GB of RAM with not much running... but this is cached memeory, and hence a need fo swap | 19:08 |
| d4t4min3r | drivetrax: multiverse? | 19:08 |
| drivetrax | uh.. synaptic | 19:08 |
| doug_ | shane2peru_: all of the envy packs u find in there | 19:08 |
| ejer | hischild: 8135940k used, 55416k free | 19:08 |
| hischild | ejer: i don't count the caching ;-) but now i understand. Thank you. | 19:09 |

| wolferine | java :D | 19:14 |
| Pelo | lobazo, of your carpet ? | 19:15 |
| orudie | wolferine, aptitude search java returns a million results | 19:15 |
| spanther | lol wolferine xD | 19:15 |
| wolferine | hehe | 19:15 |
| orudie | wolferine, which one do i need ? | 19:15 |
| spanther | orudie, are you using ubuntu? :) | 19:16 |
| hischild | !java | orudie | 19:16 |
| ubottu | orudie: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 19:16 |
| Pelo | lobazo, you want to make an audio cd ? try with brassero in the sound/video menu, if that doesn'T work , install serpentine and try with taht | 19:16 |
| Cobra2150 | how do i disable the quiet boot at startup in grub | 19:16 |
| hischild | orudie: there you go. | 19:16 |
| hwilde | Cobra2150, /boot/grub/menu.lst take out the quiet option | 19:16 |
| spanther | orudie, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras then you have everything including codecs :D | 19:16 |
| wolferine | sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk | 19:16 |
| Pelo | lobazo, I donT accept files from ppl I don't know sorry, put it up on imageshack.us if it is an image and give us the link | 19:16 |
| Cobra2150 | i tried that, but it says i don't have access even though i am logged in as root | 19:16 |
| hischild | spanther: very funny. He needs the runtime, not a codec. | 19:16 |
| spanther | hischild, have you ever tried it? if so you would know that it installs the runtime also <.< | 19:17 |
| ReleaseX | when I open a dialog box such as save as in any program, that particular program will freeze for about 20 seconds and I can't access gnome-panel. Other programs on my desktop will function fine | 19:17 |
| lobazo | Pelo: ok | 19:17 |
| hischild | Cobra2150: don't log in as root. There's no need for it. | 19:17 |
| hischild | spanther: it does not. I have that package installed, but i don't have the runtime. | 19:17 |
| spanther | hischild, ubuntu-restricted-extras installs java :/ | 19:17 |
| spanther | i've read it while installing | 19:17 |
| orudie | spanther, ubuntu-restricted-extras has everything ? | 19:18 |
| Pelo | ReleaseX, start the application from the terminal and see if you get any msg about waht is going on | 19:18 |
| Cobra2150 | when i remove ro quiet splash and then try to save it says i do not have the permissions for it | 19:18 |
| spanther | orudie, well flash and java and codecs hehe | 19:18 |
| offload | hischild, dude thank you | 19:18 |
| hischild | spanther: perhaps it did for you. Whenever i run java in console, it gives me a list of apps that contain it. | 19:18 |

| lobazo | ejer: do i have to open the .cue file in tools burn cd image? | 19:41 |
| joaopinto | averagejoe, there are 2 types of install cds, the desktop is, the alternate cd no, it's just an installer | 19:41 |
| crbversion1 | right, ok ill try that but is there no way that i can do this as root | 19:41 |
| ibleed | have there been a good number of updates to hardy since its release ? | 19:41 |
| x0rg62 | hi | 19:41 |
| crbversion1 | as in run the application as su? | 19:41 |
| joaopinto | ibleed, yes | 19:42 |
| ejer | lobazo: i dunno, never did it, I would try everything you can find :) | 19:42 |
| ibleed | thank you | 19:42 |
| x0rg62 | what's up :P | 19:42 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: what? you should run both programs as root, yes | 19:42 |
| ejer | lobazo: i am installing k3b to check for u but it is slow | 19:42 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: you should run both gparted and qtparted as root, I mean | 19:42 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: If that's not your question, I don't konw what you're asking | 19:42 |
| lobazo | ejer: or i have to put a plugin? | 19:42 |
| iMoleskine | hm. Well, the problem is, that I don't know were the problem is. Might be the drivers. Might be the kernel, for any reason. It's kinda complicated. I think the hardy beta was still working well, and the final doesn't. I can't remember. | 19:42 |
| titusg | I'm trying to get wireless working on a samsung q45 laptop with hardy, driver is iwl3945. But I can't get a connection...how to work out what's wrong? | 19:42 |
| averagejoe | pici: could i boot to a windows cd then partition those 2 live drives then just stop the installation...because i have no live cds...and these partitions are stuck live so i cant use them | 19:43 |
| bdude99999 | anyone interested in creating a custom liveCD for me? Iĺl pay 100usd for it | 19:43 |
| crbversion1 | ok, basically i just want to be able to resize my hard drive but when i attempt this on gparted,the button is blanked out to resize it. i think, therefore, i need to run it as root but i dont no how to do this as a live cd user | 19:43 |
| dholbert_ | averagejoe: I recommend sysresccd | 19:43 |
| Pici | averagejoe: I dont know what a live partition is | 19:43 |
| doug_ | can anyone help me with my .avi playback being real slow and slugish with no sound. | 19:43 |

| ejer | bdude99999: what do u need | 19:44 |

| Crashed | Or copy it, etc. | 19:45 |
| lobazo | ejer: it's says: "seem not to be a usable image" | 19:45 |
| bdude99999 | ejer: i need it to auto boot into ubuntu, and auto load a custom .jar file ive written. the user that it auto logins into must be a limited user, and not be able to logout or install programs. then i haev a certain set of programs that i need to be installed on the cd | 19:45 |

| crbversion1 | help! | 19:45 |
| === Lunchmost is now known as Leftmost | ||
| caro_ | ou suis je | 19:45 |
| crbversion1 | please ... its been really annoying and i am new to linux | 19:45 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: what? | 19:45 |
| _coredump_ | Cracken226, create a group for your user and put only your user in it, then simply chmod -R 700 your homedir | 19:45 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: ah missed your last comment | 19:46 |
| Crashed | Crashed :P | 19:46 |
| bdude99999 | ejer: i dont need anything fancy. just basic. but each of my attempts has failed | 19:46 |
| ryukun | titusg: my first suggestion is restarting your computer and wireless modem and to be sure of the password | 19:46 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: open a terminal | 19:46 |
| crbversion1 | yup | 19:46 |
| cwillu | crbversion1, alt+f2, type gksu gparted | 19:46 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: yeah, what cwillu said | 19:46 |
| ejer | bdude99999: i could do it, but may take some time, join #bdude99999 | 19:46 |
| juannicolas | Hi, this is a question off topic, can someone helo me on how or what to add in a bash script for a automatiq ftp get session. I would like to make my script to pull just the file with the current date in the file name? this is the standard naming convention of the files: Equipment_Inventory_05_07_2008_00_02_47.rpt | 19:47 |
| cwillu | crbversion1, if it still doesn't work, and you're resizing a windows partition, you'll have to boot back into windows, run a scandisk, let it fix any problems it finds, and then do a clean shutdown | 19:47 |
| titusg | ryukun: OK, I haven't tried restarting the router, I'll try that | 19:47 |
| dholbert_ | cwillu: / crbversion1: though I think gparted *won't run at all* without root privileges | 19:47 |
| dholbert_ | cwillu: so I think if crbversion1 is seeing gparted at all, he must already be running it as root | 19:47 |
| cwillu | dholbert_, ya, afaik, the menu entry has a gksu on it already, but ya | 19:47 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: I'd open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install qtparted" | 19:48 |
| cwillu | dholbert, uh | 19:48 |
| dholbert_ | crbversion1: and then run "sudo qtparted" | 19:48 |
| filthpig | hi | 19:48 |

| chazco | Hi... is there a chance of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data-server/+bug/151536 - damaging the hardware of a machine? | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 151536 in evolution-data-server "[MASTER] E-D-S hangs on login and uses 100% cpu" [Unknown,Confirmed] | 19:48 |
| chazco | heh, the bots clever :) | 19:49 |
| cwillu | chazco, only if your machine is already undercooled | 19:49 |
| chazco | cwillu - One overheats due to the room its in. The other is a laptop which has to run the fan continuously then eventually switches off due to heat. | 19:50 |
| cwillu | chazco, ya, that'd be a design defect in the laptop, which isn't helped by that bug :p | 19:50 |
| chazco | cwillu - It doesnt do it on Gusty/Windows... | 19:50 |
| gamma-k | Please inform me. Anyone know, how to clear recent files? | 19:50 |
| cwillu | chazco, if it's shutting down, then it should be okay (as long as you don't keep powering it back up), in that the hardware has a thermometre to shut down the machine before it _actually_ overheats | 19:51 |
| ratodemarte | im trying to install ubuntu 8.04 in my computer. my pc has sata hd and dvd and when i finish the instalation the compter doesnt start... | 19:51 |
| crbversion1 | ok, running gtparted as root hasnt solved the problem | 19:51 |
| cwillu | crbversion1, is it a windows partition? | 19:51 |
| crbversion1 | im going to get qtparted and see if this works | 19:51 |
| cwillu | hold up | 19:52 |
| crbversion1 | yes | 19:52 |
| cwillu | okay | 19:52 |
| cwillu | reboot | 19:52 |

| cwillu | and run a scandisk | 19:52 |
| crbversion1 | i have run chkdsk /f several times to no effect | 19:52 |
| cwillu | crbversion1, you need to do a clean shutdown though, you can't just hit the power button, right? | 19:52 |
| filthpig | where can I find an up-to-date overview of supported wlan cards/chipsets? !wireless in not very updated :s | 19:53 |

| Nostahl | hi all what does it mean when it says wlan0 : no IPv6 routers present | 20:17 |
| shane2peru | cwillu, so I need to run it? You mean via cli, envy and set it up, then reboot? is that correct? | 20:17 |
| daveyboy27 | yhes | 20:17 |

| daveyboy27 | then ff closes | 20:17 |
| dholbert | daveyboy27: Has this ever worked for you, on ubuntu? | 20:17 |
| cwillu | shane2peru, pretty much, yep | 20:17 |
| daveyboy27 | yes | 20:17 |

| MartinCz | Hi. Is there sometginh like YAST in ubuntu??? | 20:18 |
| PMantis | I installed 8.04 yesterday, grabbed updates today, now Rhythmbox, Totem, etc cannot play any sounds... some 'failed to get stream" message. | 20:18 |
| mistiipu | iam on a server that shares internet to 2 computers. i want to limit their bandwidth to 20k/s jointly pc1+pc2=20k/s and give them priority to my persoanal internet use on server. secondly i dont want any of the two pcs suck all the bandwidth (by excesive downloading at a time or by torrents) and drain the others pcs band. (out of 20k/s). "i dont want any 3rd distro or another router. i use linux and want it to route". | 20:18 |
| mistiipu | i think i need the tc command? where to read about it. and what else i need? thirdly i want to moniter each pc what he is doing. sniff internet. keep detailed records. (if he does any illegal activity eg.) see gui graphic speed graphs. etc. any app or guidance please? | 20:18 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: Not one catch-all configuration tool | 20:18 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: But everything YAST does is largely in System Menu under "Administration" | 20:19 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: any function you're looking for in particular? | 20:19 |
| MartinCz | I am looking for some terminal utility for central management... | 20:19 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: terminal utility? | 20:20 |
| daveyboy27 | any ideas? | 20:20 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: Alt-Ft, "gnome-terminal" ? | 20:20 |
| MartinCz | I mean... for console | 20:20 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: I don't understand | 20:20 |
| * Fritzel immediately thought of a program that was dying | 20:20 | |
| MartinCz | I mean console application for central settings management. | 20:20 |

| Rafase282 | hello, someone please tell me how i can fix this? http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/6332/screenshotxq3.png | 20:20 |
| Alex_Gaynor | How do I make it so titlebars on inactive windows aren't see through? | 20:20 |
| titusg | ryukun: if I run ifconfig it says somehing called wlan0:avahi has an IP address! wlan0 does not | 20:20 |
| dholbert | MartinCz: There are different utilities for different things to manage. As I said, there's no one utility to manage everything | 20:21 |
| titusg | ryukun: there is also a device called wmaster0, confusingly | 20:21 |
| ejer | MartinCz: the terminal is a management utility, you need to know what commands and files to change for what you want | 20:21 |
| averagejoe | how come gparted wont let me format in ntfs...what are my other options so i can share the files with windows xp and vista? | 20:21 |
| Fritzel | is noexec=off a legitimate boot option for disabling dep? | 20:21 |
| Mpakas | how can i connect to another server without disconnecting form "the active" server? | 20:21 |
| ikonia | Fritzel: dep ? | 20:21 |

| krammer | what is the difference between ubutun and debian | 20:22 |
| Fritzel | Data Execution Protection (or prevention or something) | 20:22 |
| dholbert | Ah, averagejoe -- were you trying to resize a NTFS partition before? | 20:22 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, are you running in to a particular problem? | 20:22 |
| Fritzel | ikonia, ^ | 20:22 |
| averagejoe | ejer: whats ex2 and ex3 and swap? I know those are linux things | 20:22 |
| dholbert | when it wasn't letting you? | 20:22 |
| MartinCz | Ok. I just asked :-) | 20:22 |
| Mpakas | how can i connect to another server without disconnecting from "the active" server? | 20:22 |
| ejer | averagejoe: filesystems | 20:22 |
| === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso | ||
| cwillu | averagejoe, swap is the same thing as the windows swap file, ext2 and 3 are filesystems like fat or ntfs | 20:23 |
| Pici | Mpakas: /connect rather than /server | 20:23 |
| averagejoe | can windows read ex2 or ex3? | 20:23 |
| Fritzel | ikonia, cwillu, yes I have intermittant crashes in warcraft 3 under wine, however they're windows crashes not wine crashes, some basic research suggested DEP can cause my symptom, I'm trying to rule it out | 20:23 |
| === dholbert is now known as dholbert_afk | ||
| bamed | averagejoe: not without third part drivers | 20:23 |
| ryukun | titusg: you can try "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and enable wlan0, disabling wlan ahiva. please take a backup first. by the way I have a wmaster0 output too in my iwconfig. it doesnt have any wireless extensions. | 20:24 |
| ejer | Rafase282: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=242936 right above "the grande finale" | 20:24 |
| averagejoe | ok fat32 ftw...is fat32 slower than ntfs or whatever...and why can i format in ntfs because cant 8.04 read and write to it now? | 20:24 |
| CyD | averagejoe: i think a google search for 'format ntfs linux' might help you | 20:24 |
| arakthor | what ports does apt-get use? | 20:24 |
| CyD | averagejoe: i think it's 'mkfs.ntfs' but probably not | 20:25 |
| ejer | averagejoe: fat32 sucks, but it is only real choice for multiOS access | 20:25 |
| cwillu | ikonia, sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop is kinda what you're looking for | 20:25 |
| cwillu | bah | 20:25 |
| cwillu | averagejoe, ^^^ | 20:25 |
| Fritzel | ikonia, cwillu, so basically I'm just looking for the boot parameter to disable DEP | 20:25 |
| cwillu | bah bah bah | 20:25 |

| Fritzel | cwillu, the apparmor was for me? | 20:26 |
| cwillu | yes | 20:26 |
| averagejoe | ejer: why does fat32 suck compared to ntfs? | 20:26 |

| Veliouras | hi | 20:27 |
| ejer | already told ya lobazo you can :) | 20:27 |
| cwillu | averagejoe, limits on max filesize and partition size, requirement (in a particularily bad way) for defragmentation, no real support for permissions, file ownership, etc | 20:27 |
| Veliouras | i have a problem with a wireless usb stick | 20:27 |
| averagejoe | cyD: can i do that with Gparted? | 20:27 |
| ejer | but I personally would not trust working extensively on ntfs in linux, note I said personally ;) | 20:27 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, I'm trying to make this as simple as I can and I would prefer to disable it temporarily at boot do you no if noexec=off is a legitimate kernel parameter? | 20:27 |
| CyD | averagejoe: if you have ntfsprogs installed, gparted should be able to | 20:28 |
| spanther | cwillu, who cares about file ownership and such stuff you want to share stuff and because of this you put it on a fat32 usb stick so its nice when you can read it everywhere without hassle :) | 20:28 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, I appreciate that answer however it doesn't give me a feeling of completely off, I know I'm stubborn ^^ | 20:28 |

| * Mpakas is from greece | 20:28 | |
| cwillu | Fritzel, try it first, and then you can try the kernel switch :p | 20:28 |
| Nostahl | hi all i just got my wifi working and now i restarted everythings still recognized and such but i cannot find any ssid's any help? | 20:28 |
| slyboots | But as soon as I rebooted the remote *stopped* working | 20:29 |
| majikins | I think it has to do with permissions | 20:29 |
| majikins | I've installed apache2 | 20:29 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, the crash takes from 30 seconds to 2+ hours I really want to be certain before running the test | 20:29 |
| majikins | and did a link to my local repo | 20:29 |

| Optimus55 | averagejoe: you can only have 4 primary partitions | 20:37 |
| CyD | averagejoe: you can only have 4 primaries. if you need more than 4, create an extended and put logical parts inside it | 20:37 |
| Optimus55 | ^ right | 20:37 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, -nod- alright well to completely duplicate the test I need to run full screen and warcraft 3 doesn't like to let something else on top of it so I'll get back to you in 30 seconds - 2+ hours | 20:37 |

| sinnlos | hello i will make connect my pc with a bluetooth headset , but i have this error: http://nopaste.org/p/aYmEvefSib | 20:41 |
| Mathman | ryanryan: yikes. maybe that junk would be in winelib, so wine? but that's certainly not a Linux type of thing | 20:42 |
| ejer | Mimi: what is error? paste me fstab | 20:42 |
| kec0 | mmmmmmm | 20:42 |
| Mimi | ejer: /dev/sdb1 /media/USB\040Drive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 | 20:42 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, umm that's fixme+all and what else? I have -all in my bashrc | 20:42 |
| Veliouras | CyD it looks like this is it, but i am too confused with this wireless stuff | 20:42 |
| ryanryan | Mathman: does that mean .c files that have those header files included are intended to be compiled on windows? | 20:42 |
| ejer | Mimi: whey is there a backslash in the name | 20:42 |
| ejer | why | 20:42 |
| backslash | lol ejer | 20:42 |
| backslash | you made my konversation blinkin | 20:42 |
| Mathman | ryanryan: yep | 20:42 |
| cwillu | ? | 20:42 |
| CyD | Veliouras: yea i'm sorry it has to be confusing, most of the time on my machines it is no hassle and i don't pay attention | 20:43 |
| ejer | sorry :) | 20:43 |
| Mimi | ejer: its a escape character to allow for spaces, thats what it does. thats not the problem however | 20:43 |
| backslash | ^^ | 20:43 |
| ryanryan | Mathman: gotcha, thanks. i wasn't sure if those headers were os specific | 20:43 |
| aaroncampbell | I'm having Java Problems on Hardy. Every time I try to install or run Zend Studio or eclipse (the eclipse package installs via adept), I get Locking assertion failure. a couple times, with accompanying backtraces | 20:43 |
| ejer | Mimi: i think it is the problem | 20:43 |
| t1n0m3n | Mathman: Well, ok, 7.10 didn't have this issue, so I am supposing this is a reintroduction of the original 2003 gnome bug... *shrug* i dunno | 20:43 |
| Mimi | ~ Question ~ how can I install KDE without installing all the junky stuff that comes with it? | 20:43 |
| ejer | Mimi: unless you have an error message to show me | 20:43 |
| Mimi | ejer: then why does it say You are not privileged to mount the volume 'USB Drive'. when i click it | 20:43 |
| Veliouras | CyD, my problem is that i want to configure this connection to start when i boot the pc automatically | 20:43 |
| ejer | Mimi: as i said, because you put it in fstab, which is only for root | 20:43 |
| cwillu | Veliouras, oh, you mean before you've logged in? | 20:43 |
| CyD | Veliouras: on my machines this happens without me needing to configure it | 20:43 |
| Mimi | ejer i can mount it perfectly fine if i do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 | 20:44 |
| Kohlrak | would i be able to reconfigure the xserver without rebooting? | 20:44 |
| mshanks | <mshanks> in regex, how do I pick out the 4th element of a string? (it goes; XX XX XXXXXX XX XX) 4th is always numbers. other vary between numbers and letters | 20:44 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, I have to logout to get back to the default settings for wine debug messages brb | 20:44 |
| cwillu | Veliouras, you'll have to configure it via /etc/network/interfaces I believe | 20:44 |
| ejer | Mimi: yes :) sudo = root | 20:44 |
| Mimi | ejer: Ok, hence why I asked "Do you know how I can make it mount automaticcaly at boot... ? " | 20:44 |
| averagejoe | is sharing files easier in linux than it is in windows? or is there something I dont understand about setting up file sharing in windows :) | 20:44 |
| flaco | hey all... howcan I know where is the installation of a package (in my case tcl-dev) ?? | 20:44 |
| averagejoe | is there any programs that makes file sharing easier in ubuntu | 20:44 |
| Kohlrak | CyD, what happens to you without you needing to configure it? | 20:44 |
| dholbert | Mimi: stuff in fstab should auto-mount on root | 20:44 |
| ejer | Mimi: i have asked you for info, and provided the most likely answer, if you don't like the answer, perhaps someone else may help | 20:45 |
| Kohlrak | what do you mean flaco? | 20:45 |
| CyD | Veliouras: here, when my laptop comes out of suspend, it connects to the closest network that i've used before | 20:45 |
| sykopomp|work | anyone here managed to get quicktime player to work under wine? There's an app I'm trying to run that depends on it. | 20:45 |
| dholbert | Mimi: unless it's inaccessible or marked "noauto" | 20:45 |
| majikins | bump | 20:45 |
| Mimi | ejer: all i asked is if you know how to make it mount on boot, and gave you all info you asked O.o | 20:45 |
| CyD | oh hi Kohlrak :) | 20:45 |
| Veliouras | CyD, this wou;d also help | 20:45 |
| Kohlrak | Hey, anyone have a dramatic slowdown when trying to look at your screen savers? | 20:45 |
| Kohlrak | hi, CyD | 20:45 |
| Veliouras | cwillu, give me a hint please | 20:46 |
| ejer | Mimi: i asked twice now what the error is, and I said it is because of your backslash, not really worth arguing about until you try the fixes... gawd | 20:46 |
| flaco | Kohlrak: I'm compiling a program... and this does not find tcl, but this is installed... so I need to know the path of tcl | 20:46 |
| backslash | again *.* | 20:46 |
| Don_Miguel | Mimi: USB stuff normally will mount if it is plugged-in after you log in ... | 20:46 |
| Kohlrak | I think i have an idea why mupen doesn't work, it was still slow when my card wasn't iffy, but i now am trying to figure out why the heck my card's buggerin' up on me. | 20:46 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: probably your ati not liking you again :( | 20:46 |
| Mimi | ejer: I told you I could mount if perfectly fine from command line >.> | 20:46 |
| Kohlrak | hm.... | 20:46 |
| cwillu | Veliouras, does it work after you log in? | 20:46 |
| majikins | any help | 20:46 |
| Kohlrak | CyD, that only happens on hardy for some reason.... I'm gonna reboot in english hardy to cross check the name.. i think it changed my card again. | 20:47 |
| Veliouras | cwillu yes, but i have to improvise in order to make it work | 20:47 |
| majikins | pls | 20:47 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: i was messing with an ati card a month or so ago, i grabbed the newest driver from ati.com and it worked much better than gutsy's. can't say anything about hardy.. | 20:47 |
| craigbass1976 | Can I still get feisty somewhere? | 20:47 |
| === nikolaus is now known as schlurchz | ||
| Fritzel | cwillu, it cooperated and crashed immediatly one moment for the output | 20:47 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: roger that | 20:47 |
| crweb | is there something wrong with ubuntu mirror system? I can barely get 2-3 bytes/sec from most of them. I have to keep ctrl-c and restarting it to get new good mirror | 20:47 |
| Kohlrak | I think hardy keeps trying to change what it thinks my card is | 20:47 |
| Mimi | Don_Miguel, dholbert: I'm aware of that *sigh* but the reason Im asking here, is BECAUSE it is NOT mounting, so I figured "Hey, to make it mount, I can put it on fstab!" But I don't want to have to sudo mount every time I log in! Is there a way around that?! It's ALL I'm asking! | 20:47 |
| craigbass1976 | Gutsy ran like pooh pooh on the computer I need to install on | 20:47 |
| Kohlrak | the CD doesn't think i have what i have, gives some other weird card's name instead | 20:48 |
| JeffATL | i've just done an 8.04 installation and got xorg working once i *moved* /etc/X11/xorg.conf - however, i need to modify xorg.conf in order to add a bit for a wacom tablet...where is xorg getting its config now? | 20:48 |
| cwillu | Mimi, in fstab, if you mark it as 'auto', it'll mount when the machine boots | 20:48 |
| __phil | is there any reason Xorg would be using 25% of the CPU while the machine is doing nothing? | 20:48 |
| Kohlrak | well, craig, it could be worse. could be trying to install windows... XD | 20:48 |
| ogt | hi ther | 20:48 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10792/ | 20:48 |
| Mimi | Thank you cwillu ... *faints* :-) | 20:48 |
| craigbass1976 | Kohlrak, I know. :) | 20:48 |
| ogt | anyway I can run several synaptic or apt-get instances at the same time??? | 20:49 |
| Mathman | __phil: compiz perhaps? | 20:49 |
| CyD | craigbass1976: is hardy any better than gutsy for you? boots faster from what i've seen thus far at least.. | 20:49 |
| craigbass1976 | But I'm on my motorcycle today and don't feel like taking this box home to install, and I'd like to have it running when I come in tomorrow morning | 20:49 |
| Mathman | ogt: beats me, but sure sounds like a recipe for disaster | 20:49 |
| Kohlrak | ogt, you shouldn't have more than one type of synaptic open at a time | 20:49 |
| majikins | hello can anyone help me with setting up a local hard repo to be seen by other pc's? I've been following this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782162&highlight=debmirror and got stuck | 20:49 |
| Mimi | cwillu: Are you aware of any other tags I must add to that line, to make it so normal users are able to access the drive, or should it be okay with just defaults,auto ? | 20:49 |
| ejer | cwillu: should automount unless you specify noauto, no? | 20:49 |
| Kohlrak | they do that for a very good reason that isn't considered in windows =p | 20:49 |
| josspyker | 7.10,siemens gigaset usb adapter worked flawless the last months but not anymore,lsusb "device present,ndiswrapper -l shows the correct drivers,interfaces is not changed, any idea | 20:49 |
| dholbert | cwillu / mimi: yeah, I agree with ejer -- I thought auto was default | 20:50 |
| majikins | when I point to the repo in my browser I get permission denied | 20:50 |
| craigbass1976 | OR... is there a way to copy the contents of my 40 gig drive over to a new 80? | 20:50 |
| mistiipu | how can i run munin? | 20:50 |
| craigbass1976 | in one fell swoop | 20:50 |
| cwillu | Veliouras, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide has a description of how to set up a connection on boot rather than via a logged in user (section 4: config files, although you'll want to read the whole page so you understand what section 4 is talking about a bit more) | 20:50 |
| ogt | for disaster? | 20:50 |
| Kohlrak | craig, there are many awys to do that | 20:50 |
| ogt | lol, I didn't get you | 20:50 |
| cwillu | Mimi, afaik, defaults includes user permissions, but it depends on the file system (man <type> should give you more info) | 20:51 |
| Kohlrak | ogt, pretty much. you don't want to install 2 things at once on linux because things in linux are a little more closer to the OS than they are in windows. | 20:51 |
| dholbert | cwillu: type = ntfs-3g in this case | 20:51 |
| craigbass1976 | exit | 20:51 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, looking now | 20:51 |
| craigbass1976 | oops. bye | 20:51 |
| craigbass1976 | not in a terminal... hehe | 20:51 |
| Kohlrak | You could end up saving the same files and editing them seperate ways, in the end you end up wtih corrupted files | 20:51 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, -nod- take your time | 20:51 |
| ogt | I see, so libraries may get corrupted , etc ..right??? | 20:51 |
| Kohlrak | it's like trying to have 2 installers for the same program runing at the same time | 20:51 |
| Kohlrak | pretty much | 20:51 |
| CyD | is there another channel for ppa support? | 20:51 |
| Kohlrak | ppa? | 20:52 |
| dholbert | ubottu: ppa | 20:52 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, can you cat `which war3` for me? | 20:52 |
| Don_Miguel | !ppa | 20:52 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 20:52 |
| CyD | some sort of community repos for software not yet in officials | 20:52 |
| CyD | yea.. | 20:52 |
| Kohlrak | ah | 20:52 |
| Mimi | CyD: does your irc client show a channel list? you might be able to search for PPA and see what comes up | 20:52 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, it's a script, I'll one-up you let me get the script, | 20:52 |
| forum2008 | hey, anyone having the brightness problem with hardy? | 20:52 |
| Mimi | The brightness problem? | 20:53 |
| cwillu | CyD, ppa's are personal, you'd have to talk to the person who owns the ppa you're using (if that's what you're asking) | 20:53 |
| CyD | Mimi: thanks ya. usually it complains that the list is too big though :) i'l proly try | 20:53 |
| __phil | Mathman: compiz? | 20:53 |
| smallfoot- | OO.o 3 beta is out | 20:53 |
| CyD | cwillu: cool. asking about ipod-touch ppas i guess | 20:53 |
| smallfoot- | awwwwwwwwweawe | 20:53 |
| Mathman | __phil: the 3d desktop junk | 20:53 |
| cwillu | CyD, ya, you'd have to talk to the ppa owner | 20:53 |
| Mimi | CyD: i searched and all i got was #ppa and #gentoo-ppa *giggles* | 20:53 |
| CyD | been asking for a few hours nobody seems to know or answer :) no biggy | 20:53 |
| CyD | Mimi: heh ty :D | 20:53 |
| __phil | ahh | 20:53 |
| Kohlrak | well, i'll be back. i gotta switch to english to do some checks to see if hardy's not screwing with my vid card... i think it is ignoring my real video card and trying to use something else. | 20:53 |
| __phil | yeah I am running KDE 4 | 20:54 |
| Kohlrak | CyD, you a developer? | 20:54 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: no not really | 20:54 |
| CyD | some day :P | 20:54 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10795/ | 20:54 |
| Kohlrak | What do you plan on using? | 20:54 |
| scraga1 | hey, I just ran "ps -A", and I appear to have 2 coppies of Xorg running, any ideas? | 20:54 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: i use ipod-touch repos for ipod classic/new nano etc | 20:54 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: gutsy packages don't cut it | 20:54 |
| Kohlrak | XD | 20:54 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, (for future reference, "cat `which war3`" runs cat with the output of which war3 :p) | 20:55 |
| CyD | hardy does, but i've only updated like 2 out of 6 machines to hardy thus far :) | 20:55 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, backticks are special like that | 20:55 |
| forum2008 | Mimi: well, the display is very dark and the Fn-keys for adjusting the brightness does not work :( | 20:55 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, ahh noted thank you ^^ | 20:55 |
| Kohlrak | CyD, what do you plan on using to develop for linux? ASM? C++? VB? XD | 20:55 |
| churchil_ | is this a valid shell script : http://pastebin.com/m63acd684 ? | 20:55 |
| churchil_ | (its short) | 20:55 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: c++, python | 20:55 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: well hey, i guess i develop in php/mysql :D | 20:55 |
| CyD | quite a bit | 20:55 |
| Kohlrak | i used to use C++, first progamming language, moved on to assembly | 20:55 |
| dholbert | Fritzel / cwillu: you can also use $( command ) instead of `command` | 20:55 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, well yeah but you wanted to check location as well that's why I did it that way too, | 20:55 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, the way I posted left no doubt that's what I was running | 20:56 |
| ejer | churchil_: looks ok, but I think depmod -m should do this permanently | 20:56 |
| Don_Miguel | Mimi: <Mimi> ejer: /dev/sdb1 /media/USB\040Drive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 I think ejer is probably correct about your backslash in the name ... and that may indeed be the "Problem" ... | 20:56 |
| Fritzel | dholbert, noted thank you ^^ | 20:56 |
| __phil | Mathman: that was it, thanks | 20:56 |
| Kohlrak | If you ever need help with C++, you know where to come. I have lots of experience with it, just not C++ in linux. | 20:56 |
| sinnlos | nobody knows what is bluetooth ? thats bad | 20:56 |
| Kohlrak | anyway, i'll be back.... | 20:56 |
| CyD | Kohlrak: awesome ty :) | 20:56 |
| scraga1 | hey, I just ran "ps -A", and I appear to have 2 copies of Xorg running, any ideas? | 20:56 |
| churchil_ | ejer: I never tried | 20:56 |
| Mimi | Don_Miguel: the backslash is just an escape character for a space >.> I already said it mounts fine from command line .. thanks anyway | 20:56 |
| cwillu | sinnlos, no, just that the answers are far outnumbered by the askers right now :p | 20:56 |
| dholbert | scraga1: reboot? | 20:56 |
| mysterycool | Anybody could help me out with glade? | 20:56 |
| ejer | turn the \040 into a space, and Don_Miguel, ntfs-3g is fuse i think, can that be mounted in fstab | 20:56 |
| Mimi | eje | 20:57 |
| Mimi | ejer no, i cannot use spaces in fstab, thats why im using /040 | 20:57 |
| mysterycool | I wanna make a program interface then put some c coding in it | 20:57 |
| JeffATL | where does ubunti get its xorg config from absent an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 20:57 |
| Prez00 | anyone able to run vmware workstation 5.6 on hardy? | 20:57 |
| dholbert | Mimi: why do you need the space? | 20:57 |
| simmerz | if i put a cd in my cd drive it opens up fine. if i click on the cd drive icon in "computer" it says "cannot mount location". any ideas why? | 20:57 |
| Prez00 | the any-any updates manged to compile kernel, but now I get a buch of errors when starting vmware | 20:57 |
| scraga1 | dholbert: doesn't appear to be causing any problems, and one of them doesn't appear to be doing anything at all, I was just wondering if it was safe to kill, or if I should leave it or what? | 20:57 |
| Mimi | dholbert because I do :) | 20:57 |
| dholbert | Mimi: why not underscore instead, or osmething | 20:57 |
| Mimi | Why? | 20:57 |
| ejer | Mimi: spaces are fine in fstab | 20:57 |
| Mimi | dholbert theres nothing wrong with the space | 20:57 |
| Don_Miguel | ejer: not a clu ... thought that was the USB capacity | 20:58 |
| churchil_ | ejer: would the shell script execute each line indivudally (as if I am pressing enter in terminal) and do so as su? | 20:58 |
| dholbert | Mimi: Ok, if you're sure | 20:58 |
| chazco | Hi... trying to move back to Gusty, but Hardy has some benefits. Is it possible to get 1) the new bluetooth stuff to work on gusty 2) The "ESC" to skip disk check to work on Gusty? | 20:58 |
| JeffATL | oops, ubuntu | 20:58 |
| mike-e | anyone good at jails?> | 20:58 |
| Mimi | ejer: if i used a space, i try to mount and it says the line is invalid, so i do need /040 | 20:58 |
| dholbert | scraga1: oh, I'm runnning 2 also | 20:58 |
| ejer | churchil_: add sudo to each line or else run the script with sudo ./script | 20:58 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: sorry was afk | 20:58 |
| ejer | Mimi: try wrapping the dev ni quotes | 20:58 |
| forum2008 | Mimi: any idea? | 20:58 |
| churchil_ | ejer: I am going to use update-rc.d defaults on it | 20:58 |
| Mimi | ejer: didn't work - the escape is the only thing that worked (for me anyway?) | 20:59 |
| ejer | churchil_: this is a hack you should not need to do | 20:59 |
| jackal | has anyone loaded ubuntu on a del inspiron 1100 | 20:59 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: did u install it already? | 20:59 |
| dholbert | Mimi: Have you tried it without a space? | 20:59 |
| churchil_ | ejer: I wish ndiswrapper could hear you | 20:59 |
| shane2peru | doug_, no problem, I got it installed and ran envyng-gtk and got it setup, and rebooted | 20:59 |
| dholbert | Mimi: / escaped space | 20:59 |
| Mimi | forum2008: i dont think its been fixed yet https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/203108 | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 203108 in gnome-power-manager "[hardy] Brightness level on battery is not consistent with user adjustments" [Undecided,New] | 20:59 |
| Mimi | dholbert yes i have why | 20:59 |
| shane2peru | doug_, I assume it is running, though have no way to confirm that. | 20:59 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, well, nothing obvious is showing up; feel free to do the other kernel line you wanted, but I really don't think it's a dep-like problem | 20:59 |
| jackal | did you encounter any problems? | 20:59 |
| dholbert | Mimi: i.e. have you tried booting with an fstab with no space, and seeing if that auto-mounts | 20:59 |
| ejer | churchil_: i know what u r trying to do, I use ndis as well, did you try ndiswrapper -m yet | 20:59 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: ok then go to sys>progrms>screen res | 20:59 |
| Kohlrak | wow | 20:59 |
| Kohlrak | fast rebooting XD | 20:59 |
| churchil_ | ejer: I did | 20:59 |
| scraga1 | dholbert: Sounds like it's required then. I've had a few X crashes recently though, thought the extra copy could be related | 21:00 |
| jackal | im about to do it and i am wondering if there is anything i should look into before i start the install | 21:00 |
| Mimi | dholbert if i try to mount with the space there it says that line is not valid hence it will not mount | 21:00 |
| shane2peru | ahh, ok one second | 21:00 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, what would you lean towards as far as the problem? | 21:00 |
| churchil_ | ejer: alias already there it tells me | 21:00 |
| dholbert | Mimi: I mean using another directory that doesn't have a space in its name | 21:00 |
| ejer | and does not survive reboot churchil_? | 21:00 |
| manicola | ug I closed a frozen synaptic window that was doing 188 installs by mistake - terminal shows the process still running - am i still installing, or is there any way to reopen a graphical progress bar? thanks | 21:00 |
| Trae | anyone here a mouse expert? I'm having problems getting World of Warcraft to see all of my mouse buttons in game. | 21:00 |
| dholbert | Mimi: That should be valid | 21:00 |
| churchil_ | ejer: not that muc | 21:00 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, also the original question remains, is noexec=off a legitimate kernel parameter | 21:00 |
| Mimi | dholbert this has been solved, thanks to cwillu i now know i just need to add auto next to defaults | 21:00 |
| Kohlrak | Anyway, um.... In the restricted hardware drivers menu, should it say what card i'm using or just "ATI accelerated graphics driver"? | 21:00 |
| shane2peru | doug_, ok, I'm there | 21:00 |
| dholbert | Mimi: Oh cool! that fixes it? | 21:00 |
| jackal | did you get any problems loading ubu on del inspiron 1100 | 21:00 |
| Mimi | dholbert it makes it mount at boot | 21:01 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: pick ur res setting. | 21:01 |
| ejer | churchil_: do you have ndiswrapper in /etc/modules | 21:01 |
| churchil_ | ejec: the drivers stay loaded (so the ndiswrapper GUI still sees them) but the nm-app just wont present or auto connect to wireless | 21:01 |
| Mimi | i need to reboot to test dholbert but im installing kde :O | 21:01 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: then you should be all set. | 21:01 |
| dholbert | Mimi: Ok | 21:01 |
| dholbert | Mimi: I'd be interested to know if that fixes it | 21:01 |
| dholbert | Mimi: when you do reboot | 21:01 |
| Mimi | I can let you know :) | 21:01 |
| Mimi | Thanks | 21:01 |
| dholbert | Mimi: thanks | 21:01 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, I think so | 21:01 |
| dholbert | Mimi: if so, that means ntfs-3g (or fuse in general) doesn't default to 'auto', I guess | 21:01 |
| ejer | churchil_: ok, well, I would call your script from /etc/rc.local, that is easy way to go | 21:02 |
| churchil_ | ejec: i put in there once and the system crashed when starting to load (splash screen became text and it crashed on Loading Open SSH daeomon) | 21:02 |
| Mimi | dholbert Hmm, didn't think of that, Im really curious now | 21:02 |
| jackal | was there any display problems | 21:02 |
| shane2peru | doug_, ok, I did that, and the Resolution seemed really generic. :) It is the same as on my machine, should it look different? | 21:02 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, I'm interested in any guesses you might have that might cause the windows error "The memory could not be 'written'" in wine? | 21:02 |
| forum2008 | Mimi: so, no solution so far? | 21:02 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: there will be really no dif. | 21:03 |
| ejer | Mimi: you can't mount fuse FS same as others in fstab - see http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ?PHPSESSID=bf79a8dda48f17563da56e757c78cdd5#Is_it_possible_to_mount_a_fuse_filesystem_from_fstabx3f. | 21:03 |
| shane2peru | doug_, I also didn't change anything, because it looked fine too, | 21:03 |
| kye | hello, how can i mount my ipod? I'm sure i can easily mount it but i'm having the problem finding the /dev/ drive? | 21:03 |
| churchil_ | ejec: my questions would be: I entered each of those 3 lines as su and pressed enter after each line in terminal....... will the script do that but automatically if I use update-rc.d on it ? | 21:03 |
| Mimi | forum2008: looks like it. could only find that link but if you search launchpad for 'brigthness' you might find more issues, and if you scroll all the way down , you should see if its fixed or not | 21:03 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: other then a smoother run with ur graphics | 21:03 |
| edmont | hi | 21:03 |
| shane2peru | doug_, ok, great, I'll hope that fixes some things. | 21:03 |
| edmont | gparted does not allow me to create fat32 partitions | 21:03 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: open term and type glxgears | 21:03 |
| edmont | maybe i need a package? | 21:04 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: after you do that look at it see if its smooth or rough running | 21:04 |
| kye | doug_, how can i mount my ipod? I'm sure i can easily mount it but i'm having the problem finding the /dev/ drive? | 21:04 |
| forum2008 | Mimi: sucks. if such basic things not working in a lts version :( | 21:04 |
| shane2peru | doug_, ok | 21:04 |
| Mimi | ejer: Is it possible to mount a fuse filesystem from fstab? Yes, from version 2.4.0 this is possible. The filesystem must adhere to some rules about command line options to be able to work this way. --- Explain? Im confused now | 21:04 |
| ejer | read more Mimi | 21:04 |
| macross | iz-fusion | 21:04 |
| Mimi | ejer "Why don't other users have access to the mounted filesystem?" this? | 21:04 |
| [[thufir]] | should there a "module" section? I'm trying to setup conky | 21:04 |
| doug_ | kye: i have no idea i do not own an ipod why did u ask me? | 21:04 |
| eth01 | gb.ubuntu.com is down lol | 21:04 |
| arc_shmoo | how do you mount an iso in hardy? | 21:04 |
| shane2peru | doug_, looks smooth, runs fine | 21:04 |
| churchil_ | ejec: i dont know need to make a script for each line and then do something like update-rc.d file1 defaults 90 (containing the first line) and then update-rc.d file2 defaults 91 (containing second line) | 21:04 |
| ejer | look at their example line | 21:05 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, a segfault is an extremely broad form of error. Somewhere in the program or library used by the program, it's trying to read some memory that doesn't exist (an address in it's memory space that hasn't been mapped to anything by the kernel) | 21:05 |
| churchil_ | ejec: I don't need* | 21:05 |
| ejer | mimi look at their example line | 21:05 |
| Kinetic | !mount | arc_shmoo | 21:05 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: then it is all set for you so sorry for the long delay. | 21:05 |

| [[thufir]] | http://pastebin.com/m44421329 should there be a module section for xorg config? I'm trying to setup conky to monitor CPU temp | 21:05 |
| shane2peru | doug_, another question that I think is related to the ATI drivers | 21:05 |
| shane2peru | doug_, no problem | 21:05 |
| shane2peru | doug_, thanks | 21:05 |
| Mimi | brb | 21:05 |
| ejer | churchil_: u r way off, just call your script from file I said | 21:05 |
| Kinetic | arc_shmoo that wasnt what i was expecting | 21:05 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: ask away if i do not know it i am sure someone in here may know. | 21:05 |
| churchil_ | ejer: rc.local ? | 21:05 |
| Veliouras | cwillu thanks for your time and for the guide | 21:05 |
| shane2peru | doug_, the other thing is that, when I try and open BZFlag on that computer (a game from the repos) it opens in full screen and then closes right away. | 21:06 |
| kye | ejer, would you now how to mount a ipod? | 21:06 |
| Veliouras | see you | 21:06 |
| Kinetic | arc_shmoo use mount command with loop switch. man mount | 21:06 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, this is a write error, so it's trying to write outside of what it has access to? | 21:06 |
| ejer | kye: mine mounts automatically | 21:06 |
| jadewolf | Whats a good WSIWYG web editor for Ubuntu(AMD64) | 21:06 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, you could try playing with -d3d instead of opengl, or using a different driver for your videocard, tweaking graphical settings in the client (these things tend to be more optimized, and therefore more likely to be wrong in some subtle way) | 21:06 |
| tabidachi | kye: what filesystem does the ipod use? | 21:06 |
| jimcooncat | I want to start a project which will end up with a debian/ubuntu package, eventually submitting to Universe. Is there somewhere I need to register my project's name? | 21:06 |
| shane2peru | doug_, on the other two systems running hardy without ATI cards, it works fine | 21:06 |
| kye | ntfs | 21:06 |
| scraga1 | if I go offine killing duplicate Xorg = bad idea | 21:06 |
| kye | i have ntfs-3g installed | 21:06 |
| cwillu | Veliouras, np; there may be a better guide somewhere, try googling for iwconfig (that's the general tool for configuring the wireless network from the command line) | 21:06 |
| churchil_ | ejec: btw you know of quick way to stop keyring from always asking for password ?? | 21:06 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, d3d causes the same problem | 21:06 |
| Veliouras | ok thanks again | 21:07 |
| shane2peru | doug_, the only error when running from the terminal is segmentation fault. :(? | 21:07 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: i have no ideas sorry i duel boot with hardy and xp and use xp for gaming only. | 21:07 |
| kye | tabidachi, it's a ntfs scandisk drive | 21:07 |
| jadewolf | is nvu the best still? | 21:07 |
| J_P | hey, anyone know if are there one tutorial for install plone 3 on 8.04, because in 8.04 default is the old plone 2.5! | 21:07 |
| cwillu | Veliouras, ah, heh. And for future reference, people don't always notice when they're /msg'd (especially if they're active in the channel) | 21:07 |
| shane2peru | doug_, ok, no prob, it isn't high priority, you will have to check out bzflag if you like shootem up games. :) | 21:07 |
| tabidachi | kye: you'll have to #sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 21:07 |
| ejer | jadewolf: kompozer is nu nvu | 21:07 |
| doug_ | kye: to mount your ntfs follow this guide. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/widows-ntfs-partitions-readwrite-support-made-easy-in-ubuntu-feisty.html | 21:07 |
| jimcooncat | jadewolf: nvu changed name to komposer or kompozer | 21:07 |
| shane2peru | doug_, thanks for the help. | 21:07 |
| kye | tabidachi, i have that installed. | 21:07 |
| arc_shmoo | Kinetic: there isnt a script or program to do it? | 21:07 |

| Kohlrak | Anyone know if the hardware drivers is supposed to say my card name specifically (ATI Xpress 1150) or just "ATI accelerated graphics driver"? | 21:08 |
| scraga1 | hmn... killing any copy causes a new one to spawn, must be some form of stability boosting, pretty cool. :P | 21:08 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: only two shootem up games i play is Deus Ex and star trek bridge commander. | 21:08 |
| kye | I Simply can't find the dev mount point | 21:08 |
| kye | so i dont no what to mount | 21:08 |
| Kohlrak | I think in gutsy it said what card i used.... | 21:08 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, open winecfg, and turn off all sound acceleration, and then shutdown pulseaudio if it's running (killall pulseaudio is a hacky but effective way to do it; you'll have to relog after to get it running properly, but for now...) | 21:08 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, and then try wow again | 21:08 |
| Trae | Can anyone help me getting a 5 button mouse going with Ubuntu 8.04 please? | 21:08 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: do glxgears in term again and move the gear box around and see if its smooth. | 21:08 |
| tabidachi | kye: /dev/sda1 ? | 21:09 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, this is warcraft3 not wow and I abandoned pulseaudio a while ago, my sound is fully functional in and out of wine using alsa | 21:09 |
| cwillu | bah, sorry :p | 21:09 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, but I can remove acceleration I suppose | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | doug_, ha ha, ok, don't know of them, I'm not a really a gamer, ... ... ok, let me check that. | 21:09 |
| Kohlrak | Anyone with ATI here...? | 21:09 |
| kye | tabidachi, sda1 = my vista partition | 21:09 |
| cwillu | none the less, turn off acceleration, yes | 21:09 |
| tabidachi | kye: /dev/sdb1 then? | 21:09 |
| doug_ | kye: check the link i gave you for mounting ntfs. | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | doug_, yep seems to work fine. | 21:09 |
| kye | doug_ ty | 21:09 |
| arc_shmoo | does anyone know when hardy will have the same wireless support as gutsy? | 21:10 |
| kye | tabidachi, i dont like playing the guessing game | 21:10 |
| Trae | I can't seem to get my mouse to use the other buttons in Wine. | 21:10 |
| noelferreira | my keys get stuck sometimes and other times don't work. can anyone help me with this huge bug: http://pastebin.com/m7bc88052 | 21:10 |
| shane2peru | doug_, I think after the screen saver kicks on again, and is on for a while I will know for sure if things are fixed. Thanks. | 21:10 |
| doug_ | shane2peru: what is the game you try to play? | 21:10 |
| Gary_inNYC | Trae: have you looked at imwheel from the repos? | 21:10 |
| shane2peru | doug_, bzflag, works fine on my box | 21:10 |
| loffe | Hi all, I can't install libqt4-opengl-dev. There seems to be a conflict. I get this error message: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/pkgconfig/QtOpenGL.pc', which is also in package libqt4-dev | 21:11 |
| Trae | Gary_inNYC, hmmm I guess I haven't. how would I get that going? | 21:11 |
| shane2peru | doug_, just not on the other one with ATI | 21:11 |
| Kohlrak | Anyone running ATI here to answer a short question for me? | 21:11 |
| cwillu | arc_shmoo, hardy support far more devices out of the box than gutsy did, however there are a few devices that are having troubles afaik. Also, many of the methods used to get wireless cards working in gutsy break the (new) support for those cards in hardy | 21:11 |
| Gary_inNYC | Trae: install it from the repos, then you gotta make changes in xorg.conf for the mouse | 21:12 |
| skarface | anyone know why I get "segmentation fault" and both epiphany and firefox crash when I press alt-d, alt-t, etc.? | 21:12 |

| Starnestommy | apgob: k3b or gnomebaker | 21:14 |
| Flare183 | Kohlrak: Hold on I will check | 21:14 |
| Kohlrak | apgob, the software that comes with linux =p | 21:14 |

| arc_shmoo | cwillu: currently using ndiswrapper but i had to kill the encryption on my netword to make it work | 21:16 |
| Flare183 | Kohlrak: It just says ATI Technologies | 21:16 |

| * Flare183 can't spell | 21:16 | |
| Starnestommy | jorvis: amd64 does work on 64-bit intel | 21:16 |
| jorvis | Starnestommy: any clue why they named it that way? | 21:16 |
| Kohlrak | odd, so it's seperate files but it's not specific with the names, thanks falre... i'll try seeing if updating from the ATI site does any better. | 21:16 |
| Flare183 | Kohlrak: ok | 21:17 |
| Starnestommy | jorvis: amd64 was around before the x86 processors became 64-bit | 21:17 |
| Trae | Gary_inNYC, k got that in now | 21:17 |

| jadewolf | Anyone else having problems installing using the Add Software GUI interface with 8.04? | 21:17 |

| Gary_inNYC | Trae: all set with the xorg.conf part? | 21:20 |

| Trae | Gary_inNYC, yah just need to figure out how to have imwheel up at start of X | 21:20 |
| Kohlrak | is there a graphics driver equivalent to ndis? | 21:20 |

| Fritzel | cwillu, Previously on IRC: I still recieved the same error with sound set to "Basic" in winecfg | 21:23 |
| sri | in fact there is no nvidia.ko driver anywhere in my system even though the restricted driver package is installed. | 21:23 |
| Starnestommy | PuG: it could be corrupt or damaged | 21:23 |
| cwillu | Fritzel, yep, I got that | 21:23 |
| crdlb | sri: linux-restricted-modules links it at boot | 21:23 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, oh you ment you're out of ideas, -nod- alright | 21:24 |
| ejer | PuG: enuff diskspace? | 21:24 |
| PuG | Ive had to upload in sections resuming due to its size | 21:24 |
| Gary_inNYC | Trae: that's the entries you put in imwheelrc | 21:24 |
| sri | dpkg -L on crdlb linux-restricted-modules doesn't have any .ko files either. | 21:24 |
| jescis | inittab is not in /etc :o | 21:24 |
| Fritzel | cwillu, well thank you none the less | 21:24 |
| sri | er.. | 21:24 |
| sri | crdlb: ah, okay.. why si that? | 21:24 |
| PuG | hmmwill check | 21:24 |
| cwillu | arc_shmoo, still there? | 21:24 |
| sri | crdlb: in any case no linkage is going on at boot :/ | 21:24 |
| crdlb | sri: the unlinked version lives in /lib/linux-restricted-modules, and gets set up by the linux-restricted-modules-common init script | 21:24 |
| arc_shmoo | cwillu: yes | 21:24 |
| administrator | hhujhuj | 21:24 |
| cwillu | do you have a wired connection you can use? | 21:24 |
| arc_shmoo | cwillu: yes | 21:24 |
| Trae | Gary_inNYC, ahhh ok You don't happen to know about this .dmrc file do you ? it's perms are -rw--------- | 21:25 |
| sri | crdlb: okay, that would explain why there are only .o files in the package. | 21:25 |
| cwillu | okay | 21:25 |
| crdlb | sri: I have no idea why ubuntu does things this way, just that they do :) | 21:25 |
| Gary_inNYC | Trae: sry can't say i do | 21:25 |
| sri | crdlb: yeah, it doesn't make any sense and makes it hard to debug. | 21:25 |
| Trae | Gary_inNYC, np ;) and thanks you've been VERY helpful bud! | 21:25 |
| Gary_inNYC | np | 21:25 |

| jadewolf | Can I install Apache and MySQL on 8.04 Desktop? | 21:26 |
| Starnestommy | jadewolf: yes | 21:26 |
| ejer | my xorg uses constant 10% cpu no matter what | 21:26 |
| ek | ejer: What CPU? | 21:27 |
| echogen | ubuntu install is frustrating me :( it cant find all my partitions, it is treating my 3 partition as 1, which is the sum of the 3 | 21:27 |
| crdlb | sri: /lib/modules/version/volatile/ I think | 21:27 |
| crweb | wow, they need to take (91.189.88.46) out of the mirror list. It can't even do a few bits per second. | 21:27 |
| sri | crdlb: thanks to my own ignorance, I used the downloaded nvidia driver from nvidia.com to install the driver. | 21:27 |
| M1DLG | hello guys, I've lost my bar from the bottom of the desktop, how do i return it? | 21:27 |
| jadewolf | Starnestommy: Can I do it using add/remove program GUI or do I need to do manual setup? | 21:27 |
| manoff | scuse me but why i can't find inittab from /etc in ubuntu? | 21:27 |
| ejer | ek: the third one : ) what do you mean what cpu | 21:27 |
| cwillu | echogen, how do you mean? | 21:27 |
| ek | ejer: What type. Sorry. Should have been more specific. | 21:27 |
| cwillu | M1DLG, alt+f2, type gnome-panel | 21:27 |
| sri | crdlb: hrm. didn't create anything there. oaky, i'll check it out. | 21:27 |
| ejer | ek: core2quad | 21:27 |
| Starnestommy | jadewolf: you might need to use System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager. Add/Remove tends to just have desktop stuff | 21:28 |
| cwillu | manoff, there is none | 21:28 |
| arc_shmoo | cwillu: connect wired? | 21:28 |
| ek | ejer: Hrm. Haven't seen anything like that at all. | 21:28 |
| prodigel | Hi all. Can I install shockwave in firefox under ubuntu? about:plugins tells me I have it installed, still some site tells me the oposite | 21:28 |
| cwillu | manoff, look it /etc/event.d/, the tty's are set up in there | 21:28 |
| manoff | cwillu, i am reading one book about Linux system administration and it tells about this file | 21:28 |
| ek | ejer: Is this a fresh install, an updated version, etc...? | 21:28 |
| jadewolf | Starnestommy: Thanks wife needs me to do some SQL databases :) | 21:28 |
| Kohlrak | Where's the supported hardware page? | 21:28 |
| manoff | cwillu: so i guess inittab is not used anymore? | 21:28 |
| cwillu | manoff, yep; ubuntu uses upstart, replacing the old sysv-init stuff (although all the /etc/init.d, rc.x/ stuff is still usable for compatibility | 21:29 |
| makd | jadewolf - i installed mysql the other day with no problems | 21:29 |
| cwillu | arc_shmoo, did you get that list? | 21:29 |

| ejer | ek: i have seen quite a few mentions, but it gets passed off as something eventually, I think there is a bug here. I am an experienced user... for your Q this was a fresh install of official release | 21:29 |
| kbrosnan | prodigel: shocwave is windows only | 21:29 |
| sri | crdlb: never mind it did create it.. blind! :) | 21:29 |
| jadewolf | makd: I figured it wouldn't be an issue but I just wanted to ask before I start | 21:29 |
| noelferreira | my keys get stuck sometimes and other times don't work. can anyone help me with this huge bug: http://pastebin.com/m7bc88052 | 21:29 |
| echogen | Cwiiis: i have 1 ATA HD with 3 partitions, 1 having windows XP (60GB), the other having a linux distro (19GB), and the third as a swp (1GB), when i try to install ubuntu 8.04, i get only the option to install it on 1 HD which is an 80GB HD | 21:29 |
| kbrosnan | prodigel: you can install shockwave w/ windows firefox and wine if you really need access | 21:29 |
| sri | crdlb: thanks for the info! | 21:30 |
| ek | ejer: Hrm. That is strange. Not sure why it would use so much CPU at idle. What is it specifically that is using the 10%? Xorg itself? | 21:30 |
| prodigel | kbrosnan: too complicated. I'll give it a pass :) | 21:30 |
| crdlb | sri: no problem :) | 21:30 |
| John_S | I think I may have really fouled up--I wanted to add a command alias for a user to my /etc/sudoers file, so instead of using "visudo" (I'm not familiar with vi), I simply did "gksudo gedit sudoers". To save the file though, I had to change the permissions so that user (root) had write permission. But as soon as I changed the file permissions on sudoers, I can no longer use "sudo". Yes, I... | 21:30 |
| jadewolf | echogen: custom Partitioning should be an options, I used it | 21:30 |
| John_S | ...guess I was quite ignorant. :( Any way to fix this? | 21:30 |
| ejer | ek: yep : 6559 root 20 0 563m 107m 21m R 19 1.3 140:57.11 Xorg (using 20% there) | 21:30 |
| echogen | jadewolf: what custom partitioning ? | 21:30 |
| ejer | ek it fluctuates ebtween 10-20% just idling | 21:31 |
| jadewolf | echogen: should be an option when you are installing | 21:31 |
| echogen | there is manual install | 21:31 |
| ek | ejer: Hrm. That's poopy. Just out of curiousity, have you tried other variants of your video card's drivers? | 21:31 |
| === IHateDWA-110 is now known as CelsoLeite | ||
| ek | ejer: IE: Tried the VESA driver and such? | 21:31 |
| echogen | which was not helpful at all | 21:31 |
| ek | ejer: Could be a problem with that. | 21:31 |
| jadewolf | echogen: allows you to make partitions and setup start mounts on your own | 21:31 |
| ejer | ek: nvidia 8500 using newest nvidia drivers, but yeah I have tried nv | 21:31 |
| ejer | which did not work so well | 21:32 |
| echogen | jadewolf: i dont wana make partition, they are already set up, if i make them i would have to format them and loose all my data | 21:32 |
| ejer | ek: i have seen posts in our lug on same subject... but very hard to track down what is going on | 21:32 |
| ek | ejer: Yeah. I wouldn't think it would work any better. Figured it would be worth a shot. | 21:32 |

| Fishscene | Some_Person, should I file a bug report then? I can't even play music and watch a video at the same time. :\ | 21:44 |
| arc_shmo1 | cwillu: O:-) | 21:44 |
| JeffATL | if ubuntu's "automagic" business is handling xorg configuration (there is now no xorg.conf on the box in question), then if i need to set up a wacom tablet and would need to add a section to xorg.conf to handle it, will it work if i have an xorg.conf that contains just the wacom section? | 21:44 |
| Fishscene | archie_leach, I was unable to do so. Although the question might be more suitable in #VMware | 21:44 |
| cwillu | arc_shmo1, are you registered on nickserv? | 21:44 |
| arc_shmo1 | no | 21:44 |
| cschneid | archie_leach, you need to patch a few of the kernel modules, but I just installed it and it seems to be working | 21:44 |
| Some_Person | Fishscene: Go to System --> Preferences --> Sound --> Sounds Tab and see if the check box at the top is checked | 21:44 |
| arc_shmo1 | cwillu: no | 21:44 |
| cwillu | bah | 21:44 |

| archie_leach | cschneid: ok I see, I will check that | 21:45 |
| ejer | Lapinux: sorry, first comment | 21:45 |
| Fishscene | Some_Person, yes. The options "Enable software sound mixing (ESD)" and "Play System sounds" are both checked. | 21:45 |

| billenium | Hey. I have dual-booted Linux Ubuntu and Vista. Is there anyway i can access my Vista partition from Linux? Thanks :) | 21:46 |
| ejer | Lapinux: same dif | 21:46 |
| echogen | mmmmmmmm | 21:46 |
| Fishscene | Any combination: Rythmbox, Movie Player, Youtube.com, etc... | 21:47 |
| Sloloem | Is there actually any way, even with a 3rd party script, to get status on services based on the init script? In gentoo all the scripts in /etc/init.d/ had a consistent interface and all supported the "status" action, I can't seem to find that ubuntu has that and it's really quite disappointing. | 21:47 |
| Some_Person | Cream: Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Security Tab and disable both "Tell me if..." checkboxes | 21:47 |
| hischild | billenium: that's done by default most likely. Check under places if you see a drive there. | 21:47 |
| doug_ | will i need to download compiz for emerald to work? | 21:47 |
| Lapinux | ejer: even if it does work, it still stands that the upgrade wrecked a bunch of things on my system :( | 21:47 |
| cschneid | anybody have any idea on my screen issue? | 21:47 |
| billenium | I see something called 99GB volume. | 21:47 |
| Cream | Some_Person why? :P | 21:47 |
| crdlb | doug_: compiz is already installed on hardy, but yes you need to use it | 21:47 |
| ejer | Lapinux: most likely just changed rather than wrecked ;) | 21:47 |
| Some_Person | Cream: that is known to solve many FF bugs | 21:47 |
| billenium | Do i have to mount the partition first or...? | 21:48 |
| doug_ | crdlb: does compiz have to be running for me to run emerald? | 21:48 |
| fantasai | I can't boot into Ubuntu: it stops loading at the disk check. ANy ideas? | 21:48 |

| volkswagner | I am looking for help, spdif passthrough on ATI HDA SB running alsa mythbuntu 7.10, broke after updates. I have been trying to fix it for three weeks? | 21:48 |

| fantasai | I tried running fsck on the liveCD and everything checked out ok | 21:48 |
| KR-data | is there a repository for OOo 3 beta? | 21:48 |
| Lapinux | ejer: my vbox guest was set to use alsa, i just switched it to pulse, so we will see | 21:48 |

| sectech | I just bought a new hard drive... and I am trying to install hardy.... The kernel doesn't seem to want to recognize the sata drive... yet a gusty install CD will read the drive fine.... | 21:49 |
| sectech | any ideas? | 21:49 |
| wolfy_ | groans | 21:49 |
| Sloloem | There's sysvconfig, that installs a script that immitates the 'service' command from redhat, but all it does is call the initscript, which if it doesn't have the status action, is useless. | 21:49 |
| Davyboy | cwillu? did you dissapear | 21:50 |
| sectech | I hope that groan wasn't for me lol.... I actually do know what I'm doing, just wondering if there were any other complaints like this | 21:50 |
| cwillu | Davyboy, no, just needed a cleaner channel to give somebody a couple dozen commands | 21:50 |
| cwillu | Davyboy, although if you want, I _can_ just disappear :p | 21:50 |

| KR-data | Cream, the text in the paste from the url i pasted | 22:20 |
| zChris | What should i use instead of update-modules? It says it is deprecated and dont give me any alternative | 22:20 |
| glavanway | This is much better | 22:20 |
| hischild | anyway, for i in $(find ~ -type f | grep back ) ; do grep -l <image name here> "$i"; done | 22:20 |
| sectech | md5sum checks out... and gusty recognizes the hard drive totally... | 22:20 |

| KR-data | Cream, http://pastebin.ca/raw/1011101 the raw edition with out line numbers etc | 22:20 |
| Kohlrak | zchris, you want this? Driver"fglrx" | 22:20 |
| cdecarlo | onefunk: why don't you use that then? | 22:21 |
| Cream | KR-data saved-- now what? :P | 22:21 |
| nixnoob | hey my update manager greys out when i hit install updates | 22:21 |
| bladerunner | hischild: you are indeed right and i am wrong, sorry. i meant this file which i found earlier /home/keito/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml | 22:22 |
| ejer | sectech: i don't get where the hard drive comes into the picture... until you want to install anyways | 22:22 |
| KR-data | Cream, restart skype | 22:22 |
| bladerunner | hischild: thank you soooo much | 22:22 |
| jaran | I'm having problems with fullscreen games etc. After a random time the fullscreen ap windows down | 22:22 |
| zChris | Karlprof: hmm, yeah, i think you are suppose to use that one aswell, but apparently you dont have DRI which is needed for good performance afaik | 22:22 |
| bladerunner | jaran: scrrensaver | 22:22 |
| hischild | bladerunner: you're welcome. | 22:22 |
| Cream | KR-data should be fixed? :p | 22:22 |
| Sloloem | Ok...changing my mind...is there ANY way to get the date a package was installed? | 22:22 |
| KR-data | Cream, in the terminal type: speaker-test -c 2 -t wav | 22:22 |
| KR-data | Cream, and the try calling echo123 in skype | 22:22 |
| glavanway | How do I colorize? | 22:22 |
| sectech | ejer, Okay maybe I got two problems.... but it wasn't like this when I had my ata drive hooked up | 22:22 |
| * bladerunner don's his hat to lord hischild | 22:22 | |
| onefunk | cdecarlo, cause i'm a newbie and i am still confused about installing stuff i've downloaded off the net | 22:23 |
| Cream | KR-data should i type that with skype launched or killeD? | 22:23 |
| Kohlrak | zChris, whas that last one to me? | 22:23 |
| KR-data | Cream, if you can hear both at the same time it worked | 22:23 |
| ejer | Sloloem: sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log ? | 22:23 |
| Sloloem | ejer: How far back does that go? | 22:23 |
| ejer | sectech: u can boot livecd with no hard drive installed even | 22:23 |
| KR-data | Cream, well type it when it's lauched, but it shouldn't matter :) | 22:23 |
| jaran | bladerunner.. hehe that was fast. is this a problem with shutting down the monitor as well or only screensaver? | 22:23 |
| * hischild accepts hat and puts on hat. | 22:23 | |

| prakriti | ubuntu is insisting on putting purple glows around my windows | 22:24 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: yeah :) | 22:24 |

| glavanway | kja | 22:24 |
| KR-data | Cream, don't paste in here | 22:24 |
| Kohlrak | zChris, any ideas on what i can do about it? | 22:24 |
| bladerunner | jaran: thught mine was random timing too but hey! ;) | 22:24 |
| KR-data | Cream, use for example pastebin.ca | 22:24 |
| cschneid | ok, I've narrowed down my monitor issue. I have 2 monitors, VGA and DVI. If either is on by itself, they display 1600x1200. If I turn them both on with xrandr, either overlapping or --left-of, the DVI monitor starts flashing, and doesn't display. Turning off either brings it back. Ideas? | 22:24 |
| KR-data | Cream, or the one floodbot1 suggested | 22:24 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: google :) | 22:25 |
| bladerunner | jaran: i turned off both so couldn't say | 22:25 |
| churchil_ | dear sirs, how would say you would make that wireless keyring prompt stop prompting | 22:25 |

| Sloloem | ejer: yeah that's 2 days. There's no program or spiffy way to manipulate dpkg/apt to just get a simple answer? I see zipped older logs, but that's a hell of a lot of parsing. | 22:25 |

| samu | hi all | 22:27 |
| glavanway | 1 | 22:28 |
| Kohlrak | zChris, i found the solution but i don't get it. It says "if you add "--indirect-rendering" to the command to start compiz, it really speeds things up." Where can i add that? | 22:28 |
| torben | Anyone knows why installing Seamonkey 'robs' Firefox it's java capabillities ?1 | 22:28 |

| Cream | KR-data and i can hear skype too i think | 22:29 |
| jrib | t04no: applications -> accessories -> disk usage analyzer | 22:29 |

| zChris | Kohlrak: are you running compiz at all? | 22:30 |

| Cream | KR-data where is that? | 22:32 |
| cdecarlo | onefunk: thank you, looks like a neat application | 22:32 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: do you have Load "dri" and Load "glx" in your xorg.conf? | 22:32 |
| KR-data | Cream, the channel #alsa is the right place, the problem lies in your soundcard not being able to hardware-mixing (actually most cards to my knowledge can't do that) and therefore the sound-channel is blocked by the first program that claims it | 22:33 |
| GhostFish | kohlrak: what card you have ??? I have a eax1950 pro ... | 22:33 |
| Cream | KR-data but it works with XP :P | 22:33 |
| apgob | k3b sucks so muchh | 22:33 |
| Kohlrak | i have xpress 1150 ATI | 22:33 |
| KR-data | Cream, esd as I mentioned before is to my knowledge a fix for this, though I've never used esd, so I'm not entirely sure | 22:33 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: you got my last msg ? | 22:34 |
| SlimThug875 | i need some real expert help! anyone willing to help message me. thnx | 22:34 |
| KR-data | Cream, well the sound drivers from your manufacturer should enable software mixing in xp automatically | 22:34 |
| hubuntu | SlimThug875, what is the issue? | 22:34 |
| SlimThug875 | .dmg file | 22:34 |
| Kohlrak | oh sorry... i'm not sure... lemme recheck | 22:34 |
| hubuntu | this isn't mac | 22:34 |
| LaneLimited | I got gnome figured out with the desktop effects compiz app...... What do i get to make KDE 4 do COOL stuff | 22:34 |
| GhostFish | kohlrak: ubuntu issue , Compiz issue or a ati driver issue ?????/ | 22:34 |
| hubuntu | what you need for a dmg file? | 22:34 |
| KR-data | Cream, but I'm pretty sure that's what happens, since I had a lot problems like them with earlier versions of Skype | 22:35 |
| hubuntu | SlimThug875? | 22:35 |
| CelticLord_ | nuit!!! | 22:35 |
| SlimThug875 | i have ubuntu on a dell pc i want to install a ".dmg" file | 22:35 |

| SlimThug875 | its garage band o8 | 22:35 |
| Kohlrak | Not sure yet ghostfish | 22:35 |
| SlimThug875 | isnt there a way to use it? | 22:35 |
| Amun | .dmg = mac os X. | 22:35 |
| Amun | no SlimThug875, different OS. | 22:35 |
| SlimThug875 | i understand that | 22:35 |
| GhostFish | K.. | 22:36 |
| Amun | its like running microsoft office for win XP on ubuntu ;p | 22:36 |

| dmsuperman_ | lpanebr, have wireless? | 22:37 |
| Sensae | System fully working! | 22:37 |
| Amun | no SlimThug875, unless your running mac os X, then no. | 22:37 |

| hubuntu | SlimThug875 no | 22:37 |
| Sensae | I have sound, full 3D rending and Compiz out of the box | 22:37 |
| lpanebr | dmsuperman_: not... cablemodem | 22:37 |
| KR-data | SlimThug875, ok, I don't think it works with anything other that mac, but try to search for "mac4linux" | 22:37 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: yeah try Load "dri" and Load "glx" in the modules section, be sure to make a backup of your current xorg.conf yhough | 22:37 |
| GhostFish | kohlrak: I can't even load mine | 22:37 |
| Cream | KR-data whats ESD? :p | 22:37 |
| Amun | Sensae: awesome, huh? | 22:37 |
| jrib | SlimThug875: probably not. email apple and tell them you would like them to provide the software for linux | 22:37 |
| Kohlrak | zChris, should i change glx to dri or just add a line that says "load "dri""? | 22:37 |
| dmsuperman_ | lpanebr, so you have no wireless? | 22:37 |
| SlimThug875 | so there is n possible way to get to use garage band 08 on my comp? | 22:37 |

| lpanebr | dmsuperman_: I have amule installed but it was not runnng | 22:37 |
| hubuntu | you could use Hackintosh on the Dell, but it's not legal. Keep yourself ti Ubuntu and if you need mac software well try to find a substitute, the other option is obvious | 22:38 |
| Kohlrak | yea | 22:38 |
| lpanebr | dmsuperman_: yes. no wireless | 22:38 |
| Sensae | Amun: Totally. I've been trying to use (K)ubuntu since version 6, but haven't been able to get either sound or 3D rendering to work. | 22:38 |
| KR-data | Cream, the sound system gnomes uses/used by default (haven''t heard of any change, but since I haven't used gnome for a while....) | 22:38 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: well try to add Load "dri" then | 22:38 |
| Amun | hubuntu: macintosh is legal, just not legal to distribute. | 22:38 |
| Kohlrak | so i don't remove the glx? | 22:38 |
| Sensae | The only thing not working out of the box is my dual monitors - it's in cloned mode. But that's not as big of a deal as sound. | 22:38 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: try with first | 22:38 |
| lpanebr | dmsuperman_: s there any way to monitor trafic? | 22:38 |
| Kohlrak | alright | 22:38 |
| Sensae | and with multiple desktops, I'm tempted to just unplug my second monitor, maybe even run synergy on it | 22:38 |
| lpanebr | dmsuperman_: or requests...? | 22:38 |
| KR-data | Cream, I usually disable those and run on a clean alsa, I've having more trouble than use from the others | 22:38 |
| GhostFish | kohlrak: Where did you get the driver ??? | 22:38 |
| Amun | hubuntu: sorry, hacintosh is legal, just illegal to distribute. | 22:38 |
| Kohlrak | GhostFish, Synaptic | 22:39 |
| dmsuperman_ | i'm not sure about for ubuntu, I just monitor it in my router (I run pfSense on an old gateway as a router) so i've never needed to | 22:39 |
| dmsuperman_ | lpanebr, I was just thinking if you had wireless people were stealing your connection | 22:39 |
| Kohlrak | I'll be right back, gonna try to reboot with this and hope it loads if it doesn't want to work. XD | 22:39 |
| GhostFish | kohlrak: Name ? | 22:39 |
| hubuntu | is it legal to install in a Dell? NO. No matter how you got it... am I wrong? | 22:39 |
| Kohlrak | synaptic the name you gave me | 22:39 |
| Kohlrak | ill be back shortly | 22:39 |
| Kohlrak | i hope... | 22:40 |
| GhostFish | name of driver | 22:40 |
| Sensae | Anyone have dual monitors working for them? | 22:40 |
| dmsuperman_ | hubuntu, install ubuntu on a dell? there's nothing wrong with that... | 22:40 |
| Fishscene | Technically, mac os should only be run on Mac hardware | 22:40 |
| Sensae | ATI | 22:40 |
| KR-data | Cream, but the best way to explain it is a kind of layer between alsa and the programs using sound, used for better features | 22:40 |
| Fishscene | If it's not on Mac hardware, it's a EULA violation | 22:40 |
| lpanebr | dmsuperman_: yes, i thought you suspected that. but I really do not have wireless. I am very experienced with computers but new to linux | 22:40 |
| apgob | k3b is the WPS i ever seen | 22:40 |
| dmsuperman_ | hubuntu, i can't think of a single instance where it would be illegal to install ubuntu on any computer, unless you specifically sign a contract stating you can't | 22:40 |

| KR-data | Cream, well think of a book without a cover, then a cover is a layer making it pretty and easy to recognize, the cover is improving the functionality. Esd does something like that for alsa, it improves the functionality (I actually don't know how, but that's the general idea) | 22:44 |
| rohan | markl__: it should be available in the partner repo | 22:44 |
| sectech | heh... the install worked great for gusty... and the livcd works fine without the hard drive for hardy | 22:44 |
| Pici | rohan: The Ubuntu IRC guidelines, /msg ubottu illegal | 22:44 |
| markl__ | i remember with 7.10 it took awhile for them to show up | 22:44 |
| Sensae | Anyone? Dual monitors? Ati? | 22:44 |
| jrib | folks, this channel is for ubuntu support. The offtopic discussion makes it harder for people to get help. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 22:44 |
| Cream | KR-data ok so what should i do with ESD? :p | 22:44 |
| Pici | jrib: Thank you, I was just going to say that. | 22:44 |
| Hacksmith | I had ATI and dual monitors | 22:44 |
| Hacksmith | Had all kinds of headaches | 22:44 |
| sectech | I am talking about ubuntu :P | 22:44 |
| gordonjcp | KR-data: esd is a kind of server that allows multiple apps to pass sound data off for mixing and playback | 22:45 |
| ChrisC35 | hi | 22:45 |
| Sensae | Hacksmith: When switching virtual desktops, does it do it on both at once? | 22:45 |
| ramb0 | hardy-FireFox-Flash sound issue ... is it known? ... sound not working | 22:45 |
| eduardo | Question: how do i install a compiz theme? | 22:45 |
| LoRe | is there a presentation tool which can handle to screens? one screen for the presentation and the other for navigating through the presentation, preview slides while talking etc, similar to keynote, but for linux :) | 22:45 |
| Chapai | has anybody got veohtv to work with ubuntu | 22:45 |
| rohan | Pici: so it is more about pirated stuff like music, video, etc. what is the harm in discussing whether it's legal to install on apple system or not? | 22:45 |
| KR-data | gordonjcp, then it's just like dmix, except it's supported by less programs? | 22:45 |
| Hacksmith | NO, both monitors were separate workspaces. Changing virtuals only affected one desktop | 22:45 |
| LoRe | and i want to control the presentation screen from the preview screen | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | KR-data: it's also very very old now | 22:45 |
| Kohlrak | zChris, it's not working. i'm gonna try messing with it while waiting, but i gotta go to a sort of meeting right now. Will you still be here in 2 hours? | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | rohan: #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:45 |
| Sensae | Hacksmith: Hrm.. So you had a separate task bar on each screen too? | 22:45 |
| ChrisC35 | I have a question about hwo Ubuntu works compared to Vista. I just got a new laptop with Vista - created a non admin user for my wife, but it prompts for admin password so much, its basically unusable (it wont even allow her to delete a desktop shortcut). How does Ubuntu do this kind of thing? | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | rohan: or better yet, stop harping on about it ;-) | 22:46 |
| Hacksmith | Sensae: Sorry no it didn't. both monitors were sepeate workspaces, idependant. | 22:46 |
| Sensae | I'm looking for funcionality similar to Ultramon on Windows. But if I can't get that I'll just unplug my other monitor | 22:46 |
| KR-data | gordonjcp, ok? But isn't it still the default gnome sound server (haven't used gnome for a while) | 22:46 |
| Hacksmith | Sensae: Yes | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: if you do something that requires admin access, it will pop up a little password box | 22:46 |
| eduardo | ChrisC35: ubuntu works better than vista, it will make your computer run faster but you gotta know how to use it | 22:46 |
| Sensae | Hacksmith: Wait, so are there two task bars or one? | 22:46 |
| zChris | Kohlrak: not likely but if your lucky :P | 22:46 |
| hischild_ | ChrisC35: only for things that affect the pc systemwide, you need a password. It's a change. | 22:46 |
| epimeteo | Hi. Is there a problem with the Ubuntu repositories? | 22:46 |
| ChrisC35 | gordonjcp thats the same thing Vista is doing | 22:46 |
| preki | hi folks, I can no longer boot to the latest 8.04 kernel. What should i do? is there a way to refresh the filesystem? | 22:47 |
| ChrisC35 | but a LOT | 22:47 |
| mad_max02 | whats happening to the servers ? I tried to install something with synaptics and it takes ages just to start to dl few kbs. | 22:47 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, just give it a shot inserting the Ubuntu 8.04 LTSCD on your drive, install it and try it | 22:47 |
| eduardo | Question: how do i install a compiz theme? | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: well typically this would be for something like the package manager | 22:47 |
| dholbert_ | epimeteo: I was getting slow responses from them yesterday | 22:47 |
| Sensae | Synaptic is being sloooow | 22:47 |
| rohan | gordonjcp: no, i still want to know what's wrong with that question. | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: or something else that has an effect on the *entire thing* | 22:47 |
| KR-data | Cream, I think you are best of with asking in the irc-channel for alsa (#alsa) than asking me, they know a lot more about the topic than me | 22:47 |
| ChrisC35 | so it is not as painful as Vista then in that regard? | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | rohan: well, don't ask it in here | 22:47 |
| Hacksmith | Sensae: Intially it was cloned. Then I ran the Envy app and i had two separate workspaces. Different task bars and I could not drag an app from one desktop to another. | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: I've never tried Vista but I've only ever heard bad things about it | 22:47 |
| rohan | gordonjcp: the question, or the justification? | 22:47 |
| jrib | rohan: it's not about *ubuntu support* | 22:48 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, all of this while running Vista. The Ubuntu system allows a non-admin desktop user to use the computer extensively without nagging for passwords for such things | 22:48 |
| rohan | jrib: it most definitely is | 22:48 |
| Crashed | Vista :( | 22:48 |
| holyguyver | When I try to use Synaptic I get this message Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | 22:48 |
| Kouza1 | Looking for help getting my wireless card working please pm if you are available to help =-) | 22:48 |
| Sensae | Hacksmith: Oh well without dragging it's not as much worth it. Especially if it sounds like a PITA | 22:48 |
| rohan | jrib: if i ask, "can i install ubuntu on machine foo", it classifies as support | 22:48 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | Kouza1 | 22:48 |
| ubottu | Kouza1: 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. :-) | 22:48 |
| Cream | KR-data i got no answer there, but thankyou veeeeeery much for your time and support! much appriciated, im going to bed and ill look into it tomorrow again :) thankyou again :) | 22:48 |
| Sensae | Hacksmith: Thanks | 22:48 |
| plummet | can anyone explain to me how to manually install programs i downloaded? specifically folding@home | 22:48 |
| Pici | rohan: The question was "can I install hackintosh on my dell". thats not Ubuntu support. | 22:48 |
| ChrisC35 | one thing I notice about linux, its harder to install and update software. You cant just go to a web page, click the download link, and install run the update | 22:49 |
| rohan | i'm not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill - it's just that such pedantic behaviour is what turns off new users, gordonjcp, jrib , and Pici | 22:49 |
| hischild_ | gordonjcp: i have a dualboot with vista. I use vista for my heavy 3d apps that won't run under linux. For the rest, i use ubuntu. It works fine so far. | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: you can actually just run ubuntu from the CD | 22:49 |
| KR-data | gordonjcp, I'm told that Vista isn't as bad as it's rumors (if it was Vista would be the end of the world though) | 22:49 |
| ChrisC35 | you have to put a command line in right? | 22:49 |
| Hacksmith | Sensae: Yeah and I could not get the computer to come back from locked screen at all. Had to Ctrl+Alt+Bckspce | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: into what? | 22:49 |
| xc_dht | !videosz | 22:49 |
| ubottu | Factoid videosz not found | 22:49 |
| Hacksmith | Sensae: It was very buggy. | 22:49 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: it started as the beginning of the end. IT's a lot better now though. | 22:49 |
| Pici | rohan: It had nothing to do with ubuntu and was offtopic. | 22:49 |
| KR-data | Cream, no problem, I hope it'll be fixed :) | 22:49 |
| ChrisC35 | you have to type a command | 22:49 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, in that regard it could be said that is easier to have a non-admin using the system. BUt the access to the NTFS system will leave you vulnerable from file reading etc, unless your user data is encrypted under Vista ;) | 22:49 |
| Kouza1 | I have a Atheros, for my Toshiba Satellite, and ubuntu acts like i dont have one at all can any one help me with this issue? | 22:49 |
| rohan | Pici, jrib, gordonjcp : i am so sorry, i thought you all were against his question about ubuntu! sorry once again! | 22:49 |
| jrib | rohan: meh, what's your question exactly? Thought you were with the hackintosh crowd | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: type a command for what? | 22:49 |
| preki | I can no longer boot to the latest 8.04 kernel. What should i do? is there a way to refresh the filesystem? | 22:49 |
| Pici | rohan: Its okay :) | 22:49 |
| Sensae | hischild_: Not sure of the context, but that's my setup right now. I have Vista x64 for heavy stuff and my 3D work, and just got Ubuntu installed. | 22:49 |
| rohan | jrib: no, i did not follow the flow properly | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | rohan: oh, no I missed the Ubuntu question - what was it? | 22:50 |
| ChrisC35 | for installing and updating programs | 22:50 |
| Kouza1 | I have a Atheros, for my Toshiba Satellite, and ubuntu acts like i dont have one at all can any one help me with this issue? | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | preki: what error are you getting? | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: no, you'd use Synaptic for it | 22:50 |
| rohan | gordonjcp: is it legal to install ubuntu on dell, he'd asked somewhere up there | 22:50 |
| KR-data | hischild_, well when I got a faster computer I might try it, just to know a little about what people ask me about | 22:50 |
| jrib | eduardo: try #compiz-fusion | 22:50 |
| ChrisC35 | what is Synaptic? | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: you *can* use a command-line program to do it, which is what I generally do | 22:50 |
| Kouza1 | I have a Atheros, for my Toshiba Satellite, and ubuntu acts like i dont have one at all can any one help me with this issue? | 22:51 |
| gordonjcp | rohan: can't see why it would be illegal, unless it's not your computer | 22:51 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, is entirely GUI based and the command line could be thought of as an add on for more advanced users. For admin tasks you have to type your password too, but it's far from often and it envolves just very specific tasks | 22:51 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: 800 Mhz apparently is good enough to run it (that's battery saving mode on my laptop) and still runs fine then. | 22:51 |
| preki | erUSUL, sometimes a blank screen on boot up, sometimes a pile of messages I can't decipher | 22:51 |
| ChrisC35 | I tried updating Firefox on my Ubuntu machine. I went to the site, downloaded the upgrade, and that was it. it just unpacked it. It did not get installed | 22:51 |
| rohan | gordonjcp: right | 22:51 |
| gordonjcp | Kouza1: didn't you just ask that about 10 seconds ago | 22:51 |
| gordonjcp | ? | 22:51 |
| preki | is there a way to retrieve the error message? | 22:51 |
| Mudassar | How can I install from *.repo file ? | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | preki: can you boot into recovery mode? | 22:51 |
| Kouza1 | Gordon: Diddent i not get a answer 8-P | 22:51 |
| KR-data | hischild_, sounds strange compared to what I've heard | 22:51 |
| jrib | Mudassar: what are you trying to install? | 22:51 |
| preki | erUSUL: yes, to a command line | 22:51 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: i have much stranger stories ;-) | 22:52 |
| jrib | ChrisC35: let the update-manager in ubuntu take care of updates | 22:52 |
| SlimThug875 | anyone in here know how to break into networks?? i have a network ip if that is any help..its a school network??? | 22:52 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, in Ubuntu every single app downloads, installs and upgrades cventrally.. You will never have to go to the site and grab it. Just add a centralized source (called repository) and go with it | 22:52 |
| Crashed | What's the apache config file called? | 22:52 |
| SlimThug875 | anyone in here know how to break into networks?? i have a network ip if that is any help..its a school network??? | 22:52 |
| plummet | ChrisC35: we are trying to do the same thing, i dont know what to do with the files after unpacking from the tarball | 22:52 |
| gordonjcp | Kouza1: you might have to wait - in case you hadn't noticed it's a bit busy in here ;-) | 22:52 |
| jrib | Crashed: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 22:52 |
| XLV | upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 32bit... update manager doesnt work, it gets stuck at wait-cursor state, when check for updates button is pressed.. also many things in system>administration menu dont start, eg hardware drivers, hardware testing etc | 22:52 |
| GhostFish | ATI CARD ERROR : Desktop effects could not be enabled ?????// | 22:52 |
| gordonjcp | Kouza1: what kind of atheros card? | 22:52 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: how about the story that vista and xp in a virtual pc run more then 3 times as fast as a normal installation, even though it only uses one core with 256 ram (yes on vista as well) | 22:52 |
| SlimThug875 | anyone in here know how to break into networks?? i have a network ip if that is any help..its a school network??? | 22:52 |
| Mimi | Question : Everytime I drag something to another window... Nautilus goes gray... and gray... and eventually I get a error message about dbus... any help O.o | 22:52 |
| SlimThug875 | message me if anyonfo? | 22:52 |
| KR-data | hischild_, and seen btw. I've seen computers much more powerful than my driven to the edge of breakdown by Vista (though the person behind it was trying to get it there, so it was his own fault) | 22:52 |
| jrib | SlimThug875: that's not discussed here | 22:52 |
| ChrisC35 | hubuntu how does that work then? if you dont go to the vendor website, where do you go? | 22:52 |
| SlimThug875 | where can i get answers?? | 22:53 |
| jrib | SlimThug875: not here. | 22:53 |
| === dholbert_ is now known as dholbert | ||
| === dholbert is now known as dholbert_ | ||
| SlimThug875 | do you kn ow where? | 22:53 |
| Crashed | Thanks jrib | 22:53 |
| KR-data | hischild_, sounds like I'm gonna install Viista on my vmware soon | 22:53 |
| erUSUL | preki: maybe you can take a look at /var/log/syslog (from the end backwards) or try to "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" and get any information about what may be wrong? | 22:53 |
| eduardo | Question: how do i install a compiz theme? (compiz-fusion is not active) | 22:53 |
| KR-data | hischild_, I gotta try that myself | 22:53 |
| S3M | si ora va grazie | 22:53 |
| jrib | eduardo: did you try #compiz-fusion? | 22:53 |
| S3M | notte | 22:53 |
| eduardo | jrib: yes, its inactive | 22:54 |
| keanu | I have a Brother HL-1440 printer connected to a Windows XP computer. When trying to print from my laptop (running Ubuntu 8.04) the printer warms up, but doesn't print. The only way I can get it to print the document is to print another document from the XP machine. Any ideas why? | 22:54 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: i didn't believe it myself at first .... that's why i was pretty surprised myself ... | 22:54 |
| ChrisC35 | what does it mean to 'add a centralized source' aka repository? | 22:54 |
| hubuntu | you use synaptic as metioned earlier ChrisC35 | 22:54 |
| KR-data | hischild_, was it vmware or another virtual machine? | 22:54 |
| hubuntu | Let me give you an example | 22:54 |
| plummet | hubuntu: how exactly do you use synaptic | 22:54 |
| mudd`Hossam | i am having difficulty install libssl-dev on 8.04 amd64, i get this error libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8g-4ubuntu2) but 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3 is to be installed | 22:54 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: kvm and vmware. both yield the same results. | 22:54 |
| hubuntu | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 22:55 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: hubuntu beat me to it ;-) | 22:55 |
| ChrisC35 | What distro of linux would be easiest to use for non techies (like the wife) - and would they be supported on a new laptop? | 22:55 |
| KR-data | hischild_, interesting, I gotta try it, it sounds like too much fun not to do it | 22:55 |
| hischild_ | ChrisC35: IMO ubuntu. | 22:55 |
| rohan | mudd`Hossam: i think it's a bug, you should file it | 22:55 |
| rambo3 | ChrisC35, kubuntu | 22:55 |
| plummet | regular ubuntu is easiest ive seen | 22:55 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: any of them | 22:55 |
| rohan | ChrisC35: ubuntu | 22:55 |
| ChrisC35 | and should I just blow away Vista on it and put Ubuntu? | 22:55 |
| Invert314 | X.org on the Ubuntu Live CD is taking up 40% CPU usage while idle on a 1.7Ghz celeron (from 2002). this is after i turned off compiz. why is that? | 22:55 |
| t0dz | hello.. i was seting up a theame.. on my ubuntu and i want to make those proc info counters like u can see in the right hand... http://www.xfce-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black | 22:55 |
| preki | erUSUL: I'm currently logged running on the older kernel. can I access /var/log/syslog from here - i.e. is the log common to both kernels - or do i have to reboot into the new kernel? | 22:55 |
| ChrisC35 | or should I go with MacOS? | 22:55 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: of course, that depends on what you want to do | 22:55 |
| rambo3 | ChrisC35, kubuntu with kd4 | 22:55 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: run 'sudo apt-get update'. If you still receive the error, pastebin your sources.list | 22:55 |
| rohan | ChrisC35: no ,keep vista just in case | 22:55 |
| Pici | ChrisC35: If you're expecting an answer other than Ubuntu, I suggest asking in ##linux, not #ubuntu | 22:55 |
| hubuntu | plummet, you search for an apps and install it. For instance you can search for "browser" or for "galeon" and you will find a web browser called galeon in both cases | 22:55 |
| rohan | ChrisC35: mac os? it's useless P | 22:55 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: true that. I have a whole bunch of images on an external HD with all kinds of tweaked and clean systems. Fun to test stuff on ;-) | 22:56 |
| mudd`Hossam | rohan, alrighty i am having some other packages giving the same errors | 22:56 |
| mudd`Hossam | jrib, will do | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | preki: so the older kernel is still instaled and works fine? | 22:56 |
| KR-data | hischild_, indeed :D | 22:56 |
| rohan | mudd`Hossam: yes, but before filing, do what jrib said :) | 22:56 |
| ChrisC35 | Pici are you saying everyone in here are biased idiots? | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: put it this way, my woefully non-technical Mum was perfectly able to use Slackware on my old PC | 22:56 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, put the Ubuntu CD while in Vista and follow the instructions. It is really as painless as that | 22:56 |
| Pici | ChrisC35: Those arent the words I would use, but yes. | 22:56 |
| preki | erUSUL, yes, seems to | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: if you're just poking about on the web and reading email, there's basically no difference between *any* distro once it's installed | 22:56 |
| Sensae | How do I zoom out with compiz running? | 22:57 |
| erUSUL | preki: have you installed your video drivers through envy or manually? | 22:57 |
| wolfy | Can anyone here help me with a small driver issue? | 22:57 |
| rohan | gordonjcp++ | 22:57 |
| jrib | Sensae: ask in #compiz-fusion | 22:57 |
| ChrisC35 | she would also need to use photoshop though | 22:57 |
| KR-data | hischild_, though I miss my gentoo, I just don't have the time for that anymore ;( | 22:57 |
| preki | through envy | 22:57 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, Ubuntu has arised as the GNU/Linux standard. It is just simple as that | 22:57 |
| rohan | !ask | wolfy | 22:57 |
| ubottu | wolfy: 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. :-) | 22:57 |
| plummet | so it is not possible to install something without using repositories? | 22:57 |
| Woob1 | Hello all.. I'm a brand new ubuntu/linux user and have just installed ubuntu then added mythbuntu. When I load up the mythtv frontend, I get a message that the UPnP backends are not found and then after scrolling through a couple of pages I get a message that I cannot login to database.I appreciate a little help if anyone might have a clue? | 22:57 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: i've heard great stories about it. I've taken a look at it, but it seems like you need at least a fulltime week for it to setup. | 22:57 |
| caleb_ | I am trying to make wget download the zip file from the US mirror at http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Eternal-Lands-Download-611.html here is what I have so far: | 22:57 |
| caleb_ | wget -H -l1 -np -nd -A.zip -erobots=off --exclude-domains=download.softpedia.ro http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Eternal-Lands-Download-611.html but it doesn't work | 22:57 |
| t0dz | hello.. i was seting up a theame.. on my ubuntu and i want to make those proc info counters like u can see in the right hand... in that page... can sombody help me ??http://www.xfce-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black | 22:57 |
| wolfy | Very well. I'd need help locating a driver for my wifi | 22:57 |
| keanu | If I have the Printers and Faxes open on windows, I see it show 0 documents waiting, then 1 (when I print), then go back to 0 a few minutes later, so the computer's recognizing that it should print, it just delays it | 22:57 |
| jrib | plummet: it is, but it's not recommended. Using the repositories is easier anyway | 22:57 |
| wolfy | Realtek 802.11 g/b wireless | 22:58 |
| KR-data | hischild_, depends on the computer, but taken first time errors in account, then it sounds pretty realistic | 22:58 |
| hubuntu | plummet, it is, it's just not as easy to keep it up to date. There are over 20000 applications available in the repositories... You almost lways find what you are looking for | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: like I said earlier, you can run it from the CD while you try it out | 22:58 |
| hubuntu | google, as usual, is your best friend there ;) | 22:58 |
| Mathman | gordonjcp: up to a point. stability could be an issue with various distros. fedora springs to mind. | 22:58 |
| ChrisC35 | I thought openSUSE is supposed to be growing in popularity a lot faster? | 22:58 |
| KR-data | hischild_, I think a stage 3 install with a gui and all that would take me around 48 hours to get up and running | 22:58 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: well, i got a CLI system installed properly. But then ran into some other errors. So i got back to ubuntu and i'm happy again. | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: it'll be a lot slower but the user experience will be more-or-less the same | 22:58 |
| ChrisC35 | is it plausable to run Photoshop in Wine? and IE as well? | 22:59 |

| t0dz | hello.. i was seting up a theame.. on my ubuntu and i want to make those proc info counters like u can see in the right hand... in that page... can sombody help me ?? http://www.xfce-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black | 22:59 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, depends who you ask. If you need help with Ubuntu, here we are. If you want to know more about distros go to distrowatch.com or other channels | 22:59 |
| KR-data | hischild_, since I like to play, get errors and try to fix then I love gentoo | 22:59 |
| caleb_ | ChrisC35: you can only run cs2 in wine, not cs3. You can run ie, by downloading it here: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page | 22:59 |
| Mathman | ChrisC35: never tried it, but photoshop is one of the big things wine devs concentrate on, so yeah, I'd imagine it runs. or at least some version of it. IE? why I'd ask. | 22:59 |
| hubuntu | search the wine database for that ChrisC35: http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 23:00 |
| mudd`Hossam | jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1011134 - having issues with package dependencies | 23:00 |
| KR-data | hischild_, the errors of course can be avoided easily, but for me they are part of the fun ;) | 23:00 |
| Fishscene | Would running IE in WINE subject you to the same vulnerabilities as in Windows? | 23:00 |
| ChrisC35 | what about running windowsXP in vmware, with CS3, etc - would all that work well enough using 2GB ram? | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: you might want to look into ies4linux if you *must* have IE in Wine | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | Fishscene: not really, no | 23:00 |
| hubuntu | Ubuntu is no cheap windows. So you can't expect everything to just work. Somethings do, and some donæt | 23:00 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: i love errors. I love to fix them as well. But i also need it for school, which is when i can't use errors or anything else. It just needs to work. Windows isn't stable enough for me, so i use ubuntu which is just perfect :_) | 23:00 |
| Fishscene | gordonjcp, ok thanks :) | 23:00 |
| KR-data | Chipsa964, it should | 23:00 |
| ramb0 | hardy-FireFox-Flash sound issue ... this is for flashplayer9 on FF3.0b5 -- installing libflashsupport fixes it ... I'll look into fixing it upstream | 23:00 |
| hischild_ | !appdb | ChrisC35 | 23:00 |
| ubottu | ChrisC35: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 23:00 |
| Mathman | Fishscene: nah. I mean, I suppose your wine setup could get screwed. even your home directory if you got something nasty and your wine setup was such that it had access. but nah, your linux install would be fine | 23:01 |
| === dholbert_ is now known as dholbert_afk | ||
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: what kind of things do you intend on using it for? | 23:01 |
| ChrisC35 | so wine rungs things natively? | 23:01 |

| === dholbert_afk is now known as dholbert | ||
| gordonjcp | ah righty | 23:01 |
| ChrisC35 | therefore I NEED PS and to test in IE | 23:01 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, running XP under VirtualBox or VMWare for Linux should do the trick, yes | 23:01 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: pastebin your error (output of 'sudo apt-get install libssl-dev' I guess) and the output of 'apt-cache policy libssl-dev libssl0.9.8' | 23:01 |
| * gordonjcp doesn't bother testing in IE any more | 23:01 | |
| keanu | Based on what I've done, it seems that down at the bottom of the page printed from Ubuntu, it shows @PJL JOB NAME="Test Page" [break] PJL PRINTLOG ITEM = 1, PRINTER [break] @PJL PRINTLOG ITEM = 2,Wed,7 May 2008 17:47:38 | 23:01 |
| KR-data | hischild_, well I need mine for school too, so it seems we think pretty much the same | 23:02 |
| ChrisC35 | and as for games.... ? i will assume that Wine or VMware will not cut it | 23:02 |
| caleb_ | I am trying to make wget download the zip file from the US mirror at http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Eternal-Lands-Download-611.html here is what I have so far: | 23:02 |
| caleb_ | wget -H -l1 -np -nd -A.zip -erobots=off --exclude-domains=download.softpedia.ro http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Eternal-Lands-Download-611.html but it doesn't work | 23:02 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: for the most part IE7 does the Right Thing, and no-one should even be using IE6 any more | 23:02 |
| wolfy | ANyone have any sudgestions where i can get a driver for a Realtek 802.11 g/b wireless? I need it for ndsiwrapper | 23:02 |
| keanu | "Test Page" also switches to "Untitled - Notepad" depending on what I used as the second document. Is this a problem caused by the Ubuntu driver, or the XP machine? | 23:02 |
| hischild_ | KR-data: but i need some sleep. GF is coming by tomorrow :-) Good luck on it. We'll see each other again sometime around here I hope. | 23:02 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: games, er yes well... I hope you like FPSes | 23:02 |
| Mathman | ChrisC35: wine definitely cuts it for games. least on my end. | 23:02 |
| ChrisC35 | gordonjcp IE6 is still in wide use. And no you can't assume IE7 follows standards properly. You still need zoom:1 for eg | 23:02 |
| Mathman | gordonjcp: nonsense. I mean, a whole slew of poker apps run under wine | 23:02 |
| KR-data | hischild_, I hope too, though I'm not in here that often. Sleep well | 23:03 |
| ChrisC35 | FPSes? | 23:03 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: tbh I don't really care about IE | 23:03 |
| hubuntu | ChrisC35, agaion the winedB is the best resource and Cedega is the best commercial app if you really can't dual boot | 23:03 |
| preki | erUSUL: is it a problem to use envy to install the video drivers? would it help to see a screenshot of the error message? | 23:03 |
| fastfret79 | t0dz - looks like it might be screenlets | 23:03 |
| t0dz | :/ ? | 23:03 |
| t0dz | im new.. | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | preki: the problem is that you have to reinstall the drivers everytime you change your kernel :-/ | 23:03 |
| ChrisC35 | ya i supposed i could duo boot for games, and use vmware for PS/IE | 23:03 |
| hubuntu | IE runs ok under Ubuntu, but I would encourage to use XP on a Virtual Machine (whatever kind) if you want to do the CS IE trick | 23:04 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: at work I care about it a *little* bit, but only about 15% of hits are from IE anyway | 23:04 |
| hubuntu | yep | 23:04 |
| ChrisC35 | gordonjcp IE still has the vast majority of the market | 23:04 |
| ChrisC35 | and stats are unreliabel | 23:04 |
| gordonjcp | ChrisC35: that's not been our experience, but then it's mostly public sector and the tech market we're in | 23:04 |
| ChrisC35 | hehe thats kind of contradictory isnt it | 23:05 |

| preki | erUSUL: yes, but it worked fine for two weeks or so | 23:07 |
| gordonjcp | hrocha: my Mum doesn't know how to change the brake discs on her VW Golf, does that mean that VW Golfs aren't ready for non-techy drivers? | 23:07 |
| gordonjcp | of course it doesn't | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | preki: so the problem wasn't coused by the new kernel ... | 23:08 |

| gordonjcp | hrocha: I've been using computers for most of my 34 years and I still run into *exactly* the problems he described when I try to use Windows | 23:09 |

| sirjoebob | hey all... anyone know of a cli-based p2p program? kind of a weird request but I like the terminal interface | 23:09 |

| gordonjcp | hrocha: you want more RAM in that PIII, it would be fine with 512M | 23:09 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: If you ran 'sudo apt-get update' successfully, then your mirror must be flaky. Here, I have libss-dev at version 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3 | 23:09 |
| Mathman | 3rd party apps and drivers is why linux isn't ready for the desktop. in the most general sense at any rate. Linux has been my desktop for years of course, and quite a number of my co workers too. | 23:10 |
| hrocha | gordonjcp: he's not using the p3 now, i gave him my desktop, i only use a sony vaio laptop now | 23:10 |
| cheesebob | why does `sudo apt-get upgrade` take so long? | 23:10 |
| cheesebob | it seems to randomly get stuck on some steps | 23:10 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: so if you want to get this fixed immediately, you probbaly just need to use a different mirror | 23:10 |
| gordonjcp | hrocha: I mean my Mum doesn't *need* to know how to patch kernel drivers and stuff, in much the same way she doesn't need to know how to change brakes on a car | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | preki: maybe you can try try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and choose the free driver (nv for nvidia or ati for radeon) to get a uable desktop ? and retry with envy (if it is true that the problem is this) | 23:10 |
| mudd`Hossam | jrib, i remember having to add the universe repositories and whatnot for some applicatio where can i find the 8.04 distribution version of the sources.list? | 23:11 |

| tj83 | Hello all.... Have any of you experienced extreme instability in Ubuntu 8.04? | 23:31 |
| * Creationist is amazed people would refuse him support based entirely on his differing views on anything. But at last... I'll concede. | 23:31 | |
| Starnestommy | Mudassar: fedora and ubuntu are very different | 23:31 |
| === Creationist is now known as McRib | ||
| Pici | Mudassar: Are you using Ubuntu or Fedora? | 23:31 |
| McRib | Mathman: You don't have anything against cows, do you? | 23:31 |
| Hirato | I decided to venture to the intrepid repos yesterday, I just thought I'd point out that X fails to start as it's unable to locate fonts for some reason, and the '/usr/bin/cvs' bins are broken too when you try to update a repo | 23:31 |
| Mathman | jrib: I dunno about that exactly. I mean, im protocols tend to change, so I could see him encountering bugs. but I'd give the junk that comes standard a try first at least | 23:31 |
| Mudassar | I installed it before from the same site ... | 23:31 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | lmao McRib | 23:31 |
| Trae | Anyone know about imwheel and buttons? I'm trying to get button3 and button4 to switch. | 23:31 |
| Mudassar | it is creating some problems with me | 23:31 |
| NotPresent | Hirato: bad ideas are bad | 23:31 |
| NotPresent | Hirato: and it's off topic for here | 23:31 |
| Hirato | sorry, which channel then? | 23:32 |
| Mathman | McRib: easy buddy. easy. I said I have no idea. if I did I'd probably help out, so there you go. | 23:32 |
| jrib | Mathman: ubuntu updates the pidgin package for security and "big" bugs | 23:32 |
| Pici | Hirato: #ubuntu+1 | 23:32 |
| McRib | ^Tech-Help^: A bad nickname of mine :) | 23:32 |
| Hirato | thanks :) | 23:32 |
| tj83 | is there any goog support channels i can be referred to? | 23:32 |
| tj83 | good* | 23:32 |
| hagane | is this the place for noob question ? | 23:32 |
| Pici | tj83: #ubuntu, which is here | 23:32 |
| Pici | Hirato: yes. | 23:32 |
| jrib | hagane: for every question about ubuntu support | 23:32 |
| hagane | how do I install graphic driver? I donwloaded it, but it doesn't run. I found 3 NVIDIA binary X org driver in add/remove... do I need to install one of these instead of downloaded one ? | 23:32 |
| Starnestommy | hagane: it's the place for all ubuntu-related questions | 23:32 |
| tj83 | Is it common for extreme instability in Ubuntu 8.04? | 23:33 |
| mudd`Hossam | jrib, ah i thought you had left, i did select the best server, should i uncheck universe, restricted and multiverse? | 23:33 |
| tj83 | I am coming from debian to Ubuntu | 23:33 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: nah, those are fine | 23:33 |
| McRib | hagane: The easiest way to install the nVidia drivers is by going to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 23:33 |
| Mathman | hagane: it's always best to go with your package manager | 23:33 |
| mudd`Hossam | jrib, darn i still get the same errors then... how can i report this? | 23:33 |
| jrib | tj83: no, tell people exactly what issues you are having | 23:33 |
| XiD` | Hi folks, I'm a complete linux/ubuntu newbie and looking for a place to learn about why I should switch to ubuntu. I'm extremely unfamiliar with linux and am very interested to learn more, I just need a webpage or poke in the right direction to see what it offers beyond the general information at ubuntu.com | 23:33 |
| Marcus_Intalex | nvidia driver issue -> did you install build-essential ? | 23:34 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: I'll pastebin my sources.list and see if you still get errors | 23:34 |
| mudd`Hossam | alrighty, thanks | 23:34 |
| === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL | ||
| hagane | I downloaded specific driver for my video card and for this specific Linux version :] So I'm interested how do I use that file (why did I downloaded it anyway ?) :] | 23:34 |
| McRib | XiD`: I've written two articles on the subject: http://elyon225.wordpress.com/2007/03/18/linux-vs-windows/ and http://elyon225.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/why-do-you-need-windows/ | 23:34 |
| XiD` | thanks McJerry | 23:35 |
| XiD` | er | 23:35 |
| hagane | I'm gonna do th system trick though | 23:35 |
| jrib | mudd`Hossam: use http://paste.ubuntu.com/10831/, run sudo apt-get update and then see if you can install libssl-dev | 23:35 |
| XiD` | McRib | 23:35 |
| azeem_ | anyony help i have lost my desktop envierment | 23:35 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | XiD` have you tried Wubi? http://wubi-installer.org/ | 23:35 |
| McRib | XiD`: I'm no expert, but those two short articles sort of chronicle my experiences with Ubuntu. | 23:35 |
| Styles___ | What is "Swap"? | 23:35 |
| jrib | !swap > Styles___ (read the private message from ubottu) | 23:35 |
| hagane | Styles - swap is like pagefile | 23:35 |
| XiD` | roger. | 23:35 |
| Styles___ | k | 23:35 |
| McRib | XiD`: But the best way to learn is to actually get hands-on and try it. :P | 23:35 |
| hagane | make it on different partition twice as big as your RAM and format it SWAP :] | 23:35 |
| Marcus_Intalex | hagane please install the build-essential package | 23:35 |
| Styles___ | jrib: How do I set it up? | 23:35 |
| XiD` | ^Tech-Help^: cool, looks neat. does it run on x64? | 23:35 |
| XiD` | windows xp pro x64. | 23:36 |
| Marcus_Intalex | afterwards kill x server | 23:36 |
| jrib | Styles___: it should have been done when you installed | 23:36 |
| Styles___ | jrib: Fudge.. | 23:36 |
| XiD` | McRib noted, i'll have to check it out 8) | 23:36 |
| Styles___ | jrib: really? | 23:36 |
| John117 | Where can i get some good compiz fuzion cube backgrounds? | 23:36 |
| hagane | Marcus_Intalex: yes master! :] | 23:36 |
| Styles___ | jrib: Do I make another partition? | 23:36 |
| jrib | Styles___: are you sure it isn't set up already? | 23:36 |
| Styles___ | jrib: Well I don't think so because its not in the System Monitor its _________________ at the bottom. | 23:36 |

| XiD` | wooooot | 23:37 |
| cheesebob | I'm having serious trouble with 8.04 and using synaptic. | 23:37 |
| Trae | can someone point me to some docs where: Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7 4 5" could be explained? I don't mind RTFM I just haven't found anything yet useful to explain what that stuff is. Plus what's a good tool to test what buttons are which? | 23:37 |
| Marcus_Intalex | browse to the folder where you have placed the driver | 23:37 |
| cheesebob | When I try to reload the list it hangs | 23:37 |
| jrib | Styles___: what does the command 'swapon -s' return? | 23:37 |
| cheesebob | 15/24 | 23:37 |
| NMajik | Is there a way to display raw data from my wireless card? | 23:37 |
| McRib | Hmm... that's weird. I'm using Konversation in Ubuntu 8.04. But clicking on web links doesn't open them in Firefox (granted, it doesn't open them at all). I've tried using the custom web browser setting of "firefox %u" but that still doesn't work. Any ideas? | 23:37 |
| cheesebob | does anyboyd have any idea? | 23:37 |
| Marcus_Intalex | install driver in a non graphical environment | 23:37 |
| level09 | how do I create tar.gz files from directories ? will this work "tar -vzf dirname" ? | 23:37 |
| Styles___ | jrib: Nothing, it returns Filename Type Size Used Priority, but nonthing is in the liste. | 23:37 |
| jrib | Styles___: the link ubotu gave you, tells you how to add more swap then | 23:38 |
| mudd`Hossam | jrib, YES that was it, thanks alot sir/ma'am! | 23:38 |
| Marcus_Intalex | using the sh <drivername> | 23:38 |
| kitche | level09: tar -czvf <filename>.tar.gz dirname | 23:38 |
| Marcus_Intalex | commando | 23:38 |
| Mathman | NMajik: wireshark I spose? | 23:38 |
| level09 | kitche: thanks ! i'll write that down | 23:38 |
| McRib | cheesebob: Just for future reference, it is a very good idea to write your entire question on just one line. It is often difficult to follow all the parts of a question if it is dispersed throughout other conversations. | 23:38 |
| tj83 | ok, well I Installed Ubuntu 8.04 the first time reccomended by a friend.... I wanted to experience the compiz features and they were quite impressive... but my system began to crash about every 5 in would ahve to ctrl+alt+backspace to get out... and then try again.. I re-installed and didnt enable compiz... runs much better but has frozen twice today.... . I have ATI X1200 radeon... I thought maybe it was the proprietary drivers but i have n | 23:38 |
| tj83 | ot enabled them since re-install. | 23:38 |
| tj83 | actually partially frozen now | 23:38 |
| TooFly | i have ubuntu installed, and just installed windows. now i can't boot from my ubuntu CD! it loads the kernel, and restarts my computer | 23:39 |
| Mathman | TooFly: mess with the boot order in your bios setup | 23:39 |
| Styles___ | So for a swap, I have to resize this partition, then create another one ~3gigs large and (thats my ram) yeah.. | 23:40 |
| sharperguy | what s the maximum filesize on ext3 in a default ubuntu install? | 23:40 |
| tj83_ | sorry... crashed. i didnt get any replies? did my entry show? | 23:40 |
| Mathman | TooFly: oops, nevermind. misread that | 23:40 |
| TooFly | Mathman: | 23:40 |
| TooFly | haha yeah | 23:40 |
| jrib | Styles___: no, you can create a swap file. The wiki page explains this | 23:40 |
| Mathman | tj83_: update your system? test your ram? test your cpu? dunno... | 23:40 |
| tj83_ | its not a hardware issue.. debian runs perfect | 23:40 |
| NMajik | Mathman: How about as a hex stream or something though. It doesn't have to be usable but I want to try using it for RNG (granted, not very good randomness though) | 23:40 |
| tj83_ | for weeks without reboot | 23:40 |
| freestyle10 | hi | 23:41 |
| tj83_ | and i did test ram and cpu when having the issue first | 23:41 |

| billenium | How do i set a folder to not 777, but the files to 777? | 23:41 |
| McRib | Could someone please help me get my Microsoft (gasp!, it was cheap) Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 working? Everything appears to work fine except for the middle mouse button... the wheel works fine, though. Also, if you have info on how to configure the extra keys, I would accept that :) | 23:41 |
| jrib | billenium: what folder? What are you doing exactly? | 23:41 |
| NMajik | Mathman: I was hoping something like that but I don't see "eth1" or whatever in /dev, what should I look for? | 23:41 |
| tj83_ | seems like a memory leak to me... I was waching "top" it climbs and cimbs... after just boot..... used 500mb to just boot up. | 23:42 |
| freestyle10 | preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 | 23:42 |
| Mathman | NMajik: beats me. that was just a wild guess | 23:42 |
| billenium | jrib : i have a webserver, and i only want people to access the files inside the folder, not the folder itself. So they cant see what is inside. | 23:42 |
| thespecialone200 | Hey | 23:42 |
| billenium | I dont know what to set the folder/files to. | 23:42 |
| level09 | kitche: does it matter the order of the parameters ? ex: can I use tar -vczf or tar -zcvf ? | 23:42 |
| NMajik | Mathman: OK, thanks. Is there a way to determine what raw device eth1 references? | 23:42 |
| Mathman | tj83_: well, spose this is why I don't always upgrade to the latest and greatest distro foo the day it comes out | 23:42 |
| thespecialone200 | Im having problems getting my integrated X3500 intel graphics to work.... | 23:42 |
| kitche | level09: well f has to be last | 23:43 |
| thespecialone200 | shouldnt that work with the newest ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| level09 | kitche: thanks :) | 23:43 |
| tj83_ | mathman..... what ver do you have? | 23:43 |
| jrib | billenium: so don't give them read permissions on the directory | 23:43 |
| Mathman | tj83_: ha, me? I don't even run ubuntu. | 23:43 |
| tj83_ | sorry memory full again! | 23:43 |

| Trae | Hey guys I hate to be a broken record here, but surely someone knows a tool that lets you see what buttons you are pressing the output of such operations are? I did this years ago but can't remember what the program was called and Google isn't loving me right now. | 23:47 |

| Trae | Mathman, and experimenting with ButtonMapping numbers blindly isn't fun. | 23:48 |

| DShepherd | prakriti, you can disable the group tab plugin if you are not using it | 23:59 |
