| Pelo | thingfish, nvidia-config and nvidia-settings ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: the package selection is minimal, there are lots of ways to customize it | 00:00 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Hmm... what was it that I thought of then? | 00:00 |
| justin__ | I need some help with nvidia driver installation on fiesty fawn | 00:00 |
| arbir | fde do u think it could be due to the Beryl or Compiz desktop i have going ? | 00:00 |
| thingfish | nvidia-settings is unusable at 640x480 | 00:00 |
| komputes | thingfish: I've started a bug on this, feel free to pile it on | 00:00 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | E-something. | 00:00 |
| Mimi | steph291, are you doign it it from syunaptic or add/remove? because im doing from add remove and its not asking me to remove ubuntu desktop | 00:00 |
| Pelo | justin__, drivers for what ? | 00:00 |
| fde | steph291: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package to ease upgrades... just install it before any dist-upgrades... | 00:00 |
| soundray_ | steph291: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. You can safely remove it. | 00:00 |
| steph291 | ok | 00:00 |
| thingfish | ok komputes - an ubuntu forum? | 00:00 |
| vbman11 | Mimi: I tried what you said, but when I pluged in my Ipod it still brought up "Media Player" | 00:00 |
| steph291 | will try | 00:00 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | I love the GUI compared to Windows. | 00:00 |
| soundray_ | steph291: why are you removing OOo though? | 00:01 |
| bazhang | !ot | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | 00:01 |
| fde | arbir: Not unless you're trying to change KWin themes... hehe | 00:01 |
| ariqs | gnyffel, I don't know what envy is ;P | 00:01 |
| ubottu | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:01 |
| komputes | thingfish: launchpad, second, getting the URL | 00:01 |
| justin__ | I have an nvidia graphics card and the drivers but when I run the intaller it tells me that I already have an x session running and can't go furthur | 00:01 |
| Mimi | vbman11, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766597 | 00:01 |
| justin__ | That I need to stop the x session to install the drivers. | 00:01 |
| komputes | thingfish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/207409 | 00:01 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | But I was disappointed that my USB HDD had troubles. It was detected during the "live test" mode, but after installing Ubuntu, it gave an error about "unclear unmounting" that made me have to enter a scary command to FORCE it to unmount. But then it seems to work fine. | 00:01 |
| steph291 | I don't need openoffice it'a remote dev. pc | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 207409 in xorg "[HARDY] xserver-xorg does not auto-configure correctly" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:01 |
| arbir | fde , i installed Eric Python IDE and the menus are super small.. so is the text inside the editor... nothing gets changed even after i tried changing font size in KDE and within the app itself | 00:01 |
| gnyffel | ariqs: the envyng package. Try installing envyng-core, running sudo envyng -t, then pick the option to remove ATI drivers | 00:02 |
| justin__ | I hit ctrl + Alt + F6 to start a new thingy and ran the same commands and got the same error message | 00:02 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Will that happen every single time that I turn off the HDD? | 00:02 |
| zcat[1] | justin__: is there some reason you can't just use the restricted drivers manager? | 00:02 |
| justin__ | I tried that but I don't know which drivers to install from the list | 00:02 |
| justin__ | So I downloaded the appropriate drivers from nvidia | 00:02 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Ah. Eudora was the e-mail client I was thinking about before. Sorry. | 00:02 |
| ariqs | gnyffel: thanks | 00:02 |
| Mimi | ere4si, my usb drive is not powered by usb cable (i know what its talking about because my bf's drive IS powered by usb cable -- mine isnt) | 00:03 |
| thingfish | justin__: all you have to do is type in a terminal "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then, when your desktop goes away, do ctrl+alt+F6 and log in as root. Then run the script. | 00:03 |
| Mimi | eh oh well im sick of this | 00:03 |
| soundray_ | steph291: I wouldn't remove things that ubuntu-desktop depends on, unless they actively get in your way. | 00:03 |
| gnyffel | ariqs: you're welcome. let me know if it works. | 00:03 |
| fde | arbir: you need to configure that through qt4-assistant or something similar. | 00:03 |
| zcat[1] | justin__: 'all of them' -- it will only offer you drivers that are actually going to be useful to you.. | 00:03 |
| justin__ | how do I start the gui back up? | 00:03 |
| steph291 | I just need ajunta, glade designer | 00:03 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Pidgin does support Web cameras over "MSN", right? | 00:03 |
| fde | arbir: KControl is for KDE3 apps. | 00:03 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Is this off-topic? | 00:03 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no | 00:03 |
| thingfish | justin__: /etc/init.d/gdm start | 00:03 |
| komputes | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no | 00:03 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: unfortunately | 00:03 |
| Mimi | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, no it does not :( | 00:03 |
| gravemind | can I find out why trackerd is using so much cpu? | 00:03 |
| fde | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no, try amsn | 00:03 |
| Mimi | try Skype | 00:03 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | I thought... I thought... :( | 00:03 |
| thingfish | justin__: or reboot ;) | 00:03 |
| shivamib | its not their fault tho | 00:03 |
| shivamib | msn protocol sucks | 00:03 |
| komputes | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: skype kinda works | 00:03 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | It sure does. | 00:03 |
| zcat[1] | justin__: you do know that if you install nvidia's drivers, your system is going to go back to a text login just about every time you update, right? | 00:04 |
| arbir | fde: i am using Ubuntu, and Eric is a KDE app.. it does not say, its specific to KDE 4... | 00:04 |
| justin__ | okay sweetness | 00:04 |
| justin__ | I'm going to give that a shot! | 00:04 |
| justin__ | Thanks! | 00:04 |
| justin__ | I'll be back if it doens't work. | 00:04 |
| yeto | how do I reinstall ubuntu on my pc? i am dual booting with vista | 00:04 |
| fde | arbir: I'm telling you it is ;) | 00:04 |
| offload | "Add this path to your /etc/X11/XF86Config config" <--- this doesn't exist in ubuntu so where should I look? | 00:04 |
| thingfish | oh and by the way there doesn't appear to be a nvidia-config available | 00:04 |
| KlasRudian | when i try to umount a disc it says that the device is busy, can i somehow see whats using the disc or w/e makes it busy? | 00:04 |
| Mimi | !install yeto | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Factoid install yeto not found | 00:04 |
| Mimi | !install | yeto | 00:04 |
| ubottu | yeto: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 00:04 |
| zcat[1] | why do we set people up for failure here? | 00:04 |
| arbir | fde, are you telling me, that Eric is kde 4 app ? | 00:04 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | After years of perfecting a set of software for Windows, I now have to re-discover everything... :( | 00:04 |
| fde | zcat[1]: How do you mean? | 00:04 |
| arbir | fde then what must i do ? to change the settings ? | 00:04 |
| fde | arbir: That is what I'm saying. | 00:04 |
| ere4si | KlasRudian: how are you trying to unmount it? | 00:04 |
| Nu2Ubuntu | Can someone please tell me where to find settings for compiz-fusion? When I updated the repositories after a fresh install it updated it but I still can't find the settings for it. | 00:05 |
| soundray_ | steph291: for specialized purposes, it's better to install Ubuntu Server Edition and add whatever you need -- easier and safer than installing lots of stuff and then removing it again | 00:05 |
| askvicto1 | I have an athlon x2 cpu which is overheating under load, which causes the computer to switch off. Is there a way to throttle cpu speed when temperature exceeds a certain level? | 00:05 |
| fde | arbir: I told you... qt4-assistant. | 00:05 |
| gnyffel | zcat[1]: depends. If he adds them to dkms, that shouldn't be a problem | 00:05 |
| D_ILLER | server eu.undernet.org:6667 | 00:05 |
| arbir | fde : let me install it | 00:05 |
| zcat[1] | in a week justin will be returning to windows because every time he updates he has to go through some complicated driver reinstall just to keep the GUI working and he'll be tellign everyone how 'linus isn't ready for the desktop' | 00:05 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: give it some love, in time you'll see how well thought it is | 00:05 |
| bazhang | zcat[1], you must have the wrong channel-->failure is in that channel -->##windows | 00:05 |
| Nu2Ubuntu | askvicto1: add a fan, check your heatsink. | 00:05 |
| vbman11 | Mimi: I have Hardy, so there isn't a multimedia tab | 00:05 |
| KlasRudian | ere4si, what you mean? "sudo umount /mnt/somedisc" is what i use... it's a harddrive.... | 00:05 |
| gravemind | hey my trackerd is going crazy how do I fix it? | 00:06 |
| Mimi | vbman11, read all of it please.... *facepalm | 00:06 |
| gnyffel | zcat[1]: dkms takes care of the broken X on kernel update | 00:06 |
| offload | Mimi, "Add this path to your /etc/X11/XF86Config config" <-- what's the Ubuntu equiv? | 00:06 |
| SiegeX | if only ubuntu used slackware as its base distro | 00:06 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | can i have both openbox & fluxbox in ubuntu? do i need to have both? | 00:06 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: once you get the hang of 'linux', it's all consistent | 00:06 |
| fde | arbir: sorry, it's 'qt4-qtconfig' | 00:06 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Wait... what? Am I on freenode? :-) | 00:06 |
| zcat[1] | bazhang: 'nvidia-glx' -- nice smooth, trouble-free drivers. 'NVIDIA-whatever.BIN' -- FAIL. | 00:06 |
| jwl007 | hey, how do i add a jre 1.3 plugin to firefox... seems to not recognize it even if i put libjavaplugin_oji.so into my local .mozilla/firefox/plugins directory | 00:06 |
| arbir | fde": alright.. let me try | 00:06 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | I thought that this was a custom Ubuntu IRC server. | 00:06 |
| shivamib | lol | 00:06 |
| shivamib | whoops | 00:06 |
| soundray_ | gravemind: no need to do anything, just give it an hour to do its thing and it won't bother you much anymore | 00:07 |
| ChaosParser | Anyone had issues with Audacious refusing to play files and listing length as 0:00 in Hardy? | 00:07 |
| zcat[1] | what takes care of fixing the NVIDIA binary package install?!! | 00:07 |
| Mimi | offload i dont know, i think that readme is outdated, i dont think X uses xf86 anymore! | 00:07 |
| vbman11 | Mimi: I tried manualy typing "banshee" and "banshee-1" also, same result | 00:07 |
| kbrosnan | jwl007: java 1.3 needs to be the default java imlementation, test from the command line. java -version | 00:07 |
| fde | zcat[1]: The Ubuntu experience is far superior to that of OpenSUSE (who pay the guy that maintains drivers) or Fedora/RedHat who both refuse to even include such things... | 00:07 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: you thought you were ranting to help desk staff? | 00:07 |
| arbir | is now downloading the installing qt4-qtconfig | 00:07 |
| gnyffel | zcat[1]: envyng is generally reliable if you want newer drivers than those in the default repos | 00:07 |
| arbir | download server is not responding :-( | 00:07 |
| vbman11 | Mimi: and installed podsluth | 00:07 |
| ariqs | gnyffel: it's making a mess, anyway ;) | 00:07 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | shivamib: ? :S | 00:07 |
| kbrosnan | jwl007: though is there a reason you are using such an old version of java? | 00:07 |
| Mimi | ChaosParser, do you have firefox / epiphany open when you play the music and if so can you close firefox and try to play the file then? | 00:07 |
| jwl007 | kbrosnan: legacy applet testing | 00:08 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | !envyng | 00:08 |
| 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. | 00:08 |
| kindofabuzz | my emerald won't start on login, i have to emerald --replace every time. anyone got a fix? is that a bug in Hardy? | 00:08 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | One minor annoyance that I have discovered so far is that selecting the bottom-left corner of a GUI window is very difficult. | 00:08 |
| Nu2Ubuntu | ok, thanks anyway. I'll try back later. | 00:08 |
| ariqs | gnyffel: It started to uninstall and decided it needed to download 13 megs of packages to do so. Why? | 00:08 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | !envy | 00:08 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: welcome aboard :) | 00:08 |
| Mimi | vbman11, i dont know anymore i pointed you to that thread because they know how to. if you have any questions , respond to the thread please | 00:08 |
| bazhang | kindofabuzz, put in session startup command | 00:08 |
| fde | zcat[1]: Unfortunately, we can't concentrate on what Nvidia and ATI decide when planning new versions, we have no control over them, and they shouldn't have control over FOSS. | 00:08 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Thanks... | 00:08 |
| Mimi | kindofabuzz, yes wait a minute :) | 00:08 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | !envy | 00:08 |
| 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. | 00:08 |
| gnyffel | ariqs: it wants to reinstate a default driver. Mesa. It won't hurt you. Can't tell you how to skip it, though. | 00:08 |
| kindofabuzz | bazhang: yeah i thought of that, but in gutsy you didn't have to do that | 00:08 |
| vbman11 | Mimi: k thanks | 00:08 |
| ChaosParser | Mimi: Closed firefox, same deal. Already dumped the audacious config files, rebooted, and reinstalled via synaptic. | 00:08 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: you can customize that, i guess... along with anything else | 00:09 |
| bazhang | !fishing | Baby_Shambl3s | 00:09 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | I am a little worried that GUI elements seem to be a little "sluggish", though. Maybe it is on purpose. | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Baby_Shambl3s: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 00:09 |
| bosanac | Hello people i need some program for Linux Ubuntu 7.10 program like " Apple - Logic Express " but i need it for linux can somebody help me please i need to make some tracks plz... | 00:09 |
| kindofabuzz | bazhang: or atually it may have been in sessions in gutsy, just hardy doesn't put it there for you | 00:09 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Or maybe I need to install drivers and stuff. | 00:09 |
| * dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf looks around. | 00:09 | |
| zcat[1] | fde, gnyffel: yes, there are many, many good ways to install the nvidia drivers.. nvidis-glx or nvidis-glx-envy seem to be OK... downloading the nvidia binary package, exiting out of the GUI, installing from a terminal, etc.. makes people think "Linus is hard" when it really isn't even necessary. And AND It will cause the system to break on every kernel upgrade as well. SO whay are we telling people to do this in here? Can we just not, p | 00:09 |
| zcat[1] | lease, unless they have a card that actually requires it? | 00:09 |
| ere4si | KlasRudian: try sudo umount -fv /mnt/somedisk | 00:09 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: some people call it 'clean'. but that's just the default theme... go to system -> preferences -> appearance | 00:10 |
| jwl007 | kbrosnan: by symlinking all /usr/bin/java* stuff, will that make it my default java? | 00:10 |
| shivamib | or better yet, enable compiz :) | 00:10 |
| bosanac | Hello people i need some program for Linux Ubuntu 7.10 program like " Apple - Logic Express " but i need it for linux can somebody help me please i need to make some tracks plz... | 00:10 |

| bosanac | i need help :( | 00:10 |
| FloodBot1 | bosanac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:10 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: and finger salute aero | 00:10 |
| kindofabuzz | bosanac: google.com | 00:10 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | shivamib: I like it, but when you move it, it sort of "slugs" around. | 00:10 |
| bosanac | kindofabuzz: dont works that. | 00:10 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Resize and whatnot. | 00:10 |
| Fishscene | !ask | bonsanac | 00:10 |
| ubottu | bonsanac: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:10 |
| KlasRudian | ere4si, naah the same | 00:11 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | (New HP laptop here.) | 00:11 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: like, wobbly? | 00:11 |
| kindofabuzz | bosanac: huh? | 00:11 |
| Draggin | Good evening again - I think I 'broke' something on my installation... For some reason, every time I put my flashdisk in, Ubuntu mounted it read-only, so I decided to right click on the icon, go to properties and removed the 'ro' bit from the mount options. Now, whenever I stick in the disk, it just says 'Invalid mount option when mounting the disk'. How can I get back to that properties page to fix it? | 00:11 |
| gnyffel | zcat[1]: I don't recall recommending a plain nvidia driver install. No question it is more proper to either make sure your driver gets updated with the kernel, og add it to dkms. | 00:11 |

| ere4si | KlasRudian: using tracker/bagle? | 00:11 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | shivamib: Hehe... nah. Not like that. I mean internal GUI elements. | 00:11 |
| soundray_ | bosanac: there isn't an application like Logic for ubuntu | 00:11 |
| bleaked | Draggin: try chaning it to rw ? | 00:11 |
| bosanac | soundray_: i dont need to be like logic | 00:11 |
| bleaked | *changing | 00:11 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | I think Ubuntu has detected "semi fancy" graphics for my box. | 00:11 |
| KlasRudian | ere4si, huu? and that is? as i dont know what that is a dout it | 00:11 |
| bosanac | soundray_: i just need it to Logic Express 8 gives musicians everything they need to write, record, edit, ... Logic Express 8 offers a simple, flexible approach to multitake recording | 00:12 |
| Mimi | bosanac, check the google link i sent ya | 00:12 |
| kbrosnan | jwl007: what might be best is to symlink the java 1.3/bin/java to /usr/local/bin/java so it can easily be undone | 00:12 |
| ere4si | KlasRudian: ok then | 00:12 |
| Draggin | bleaked - but where - I can't get to that page again, since it doesn't mount it | 00:12 |
| arbir | fde: you are my champion | 00:12 |
| fde | bosanac: what exactly are you looking for? | 00:12 |
| arbir | fde: thanks a ton :-) | 00:12 |

| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: oh. well, it's just gtk... and you probably are running on crappy video drivers | 00:12 |
| arbir | fde: somehow, the text inside my editor wont change in size | 00:12 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | The default desktop background is weird. :S | 00:12 |
| bosanac | fde: i need a program to make some tracks ( trance ) omg i need program with sounds efects... | 00:12 |
| Mimi | lol..... | 00:13 |
| shivamib | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: system -> administration -> hardware driver | 00:13 |
| soundray_ | bosanac: there is no such thing. Creating music on Linux is much more low level. There are many tools, but you have to delve into it. It's not a 'have to do a few tracks in an hour' kind of thing | 00:13 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | can i have both openbox & fluxbox in ubuntu? do i need to have both? | 00:13 |
| Mimi | bosanac, please check the link i sent you, all you need is there. | 00:13 |
| dusker | is anyone here knowledgeable about lvm mirroring | 00:13 |
| bleaked | Draggin: um..not sure.. i only use kde.. and not too familiar.. didn't you say it was on a device icon or applet? | 00:13 |
| dusker | and how it performs fail over? | 00:13 |
| vbman11 | Mimi:"sudo ln -s /usr/bin/banshee-1 /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox", Now it Works!! Thanks for leading me on the right path though! | 00:13 |
| zChris | Baby_Shambl3s: yuou can have both and you dont need to have both :) | 00:13 |
| bosanac | Mimi: what link? | 00:13 |
| Mimi | very nice vbman11 !! | 00:13 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | When exactly did Adobe Flash come to Linux? | 00:13 |
| soundray_ | bosanac: have a look at the output from 'apt-cache search sequencer' | 00:13 |

| ouellettesr | where is the file location of the file that will let me set a static ip? | 00:14 |
| Mathman | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: year ago or so perhaps | 00:14 |
| bazhang | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, please try to stay on topic | 00:14 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Oh... | 00:14 |
| gnyffel | vbman11: that's quite possibly the most unelegant solution I've seen today. :P | 00:14 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Sorry. :( | 00:14 |

| === SESSO_CELL is now known as Mcaldo | ||
| KlasRudian | ere4si, got it.... was an obscyr torrent client that bugged out | 00:14 |
| Draggin | bleaked, yes, it was the property page on the device icon when it was mounted before, but after I changed it, it doesn't mount, so there is no icon for me to right click and get to it's properties... | 00:14 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | zChris: if thats the case which is better? | 00:14 |
| ouellettesr | thanks soundray_ | 00:14 |
| fde | arbir: I'm not sure why that would be, it _should_ be configurable via qt4-qtconfig, provided you're using the right settings etc. | 00:14 |
| Mimi | gnyffel, whatever works ;p looks like when i had to rename gnome-panel to gnome-panel-backup to stop it from launching lol | 00:14 |
| ere4si | KlasRudian: great :) | 00:14 |
| fde | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: uhh... like 2002? | 00:14 |
| zChris | Baby_Shambl3s: i think its a matter of personal preference | 00:15 |
| === SESSO_CELL is now known as Mcaldo | ||

| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Hehe! My laptop can manage the "fancy" graphics setting! | 00:15 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Cool wobbly windows. | 00:15 |
| zChris | Baby_Shambl3s: have no idea, sorry | 00:15 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | zChris: np will check them out hopefully wont mess the system doing so | 00:16 |
| Mimi | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, make them wobble, make them fire, then stop the fire with the rainwater~ | 00:16 |
| Fishscene | lol Mimi | 00:16 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf try this for fancier | 00:16 |
| ubottu | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf try this for fancier: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 00:16 |

| vbman11 | Mimi: Poetic! | 00:16 |
| bleaked | Draggin: perhaps you could try to unplug and plug back in.. idk.. ask around the channel.. unfortunately i'm actually on my way out the door and just stopped in here before i left to check for someone.. so if you'll excuse me.. | 00:16 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | I doubt my poor lappy can handle fancy 3D boxes... | 00:16 |
| zChris | Baby_Shambl3s: shouldnt be too much of a hassle, just apt-get them and choose them in "Settings-> Sessions" in gdm | 00:17 |
| fde | arbir: maybe try 'systemsettings-kde4' - but that will depend half of kde4 probably :( | 00:17 |
| Draggin | Okay... Bleaked is gone... Is there perhaps someone else who could help me get my USB disk up and running again? | 00:17 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | so a couple of days i heard of gmarks only to find out it doesnt work with FF3b5 :/, so can people here suggest good bookmark function which allows online storage i.e. I which to have a backup of bookmarks online? | 00:17 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Sorry if I appear to ignore somebody... this IRC client (Pidgin) doesn't clearly mark replies. | 00:17 |
| arbir | hmm fde.... weird.. i can do with this.. for now.. but still need to squint a little | 00:17 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | And this channel is pretty high-traffic. | 00:17 |
| Mimi | XChaaaaattt | 00:17 |
| gnyffel | Baby_Shambl3s: foxmarks just opened up their closed beta for ff3, works for me | 00:18 |
| fde | arbir: Apologies... | 00:18 |
| offload | Mimi, I found this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-artwiz-fonts-in-ubuntu.html but it's not in my repositories. Any idea what repository it may be in now? | 00:18 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | zChris: yeah will do so but i tend to break stuff its a bad habit of mine? | 00:18 |
| joty | for gcc development I need autoconf v2.59 instead of 2.61 which is in hardy, any pointers on how I can install 2.59 on hardy ? | 00:18 |
| zChris | Baby_Shambl3s: hehe :) | 00:18 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Wow! The video being played back inside the Flash app in my Web browser actually vobbles in real time... I didn't expect that! | 00:18 |
| arbir | fde: Apologies???? i should be the one to apologize, thanks for your time.. so much. | 00:18 |
| fde | Baby_Shambl3s: Breaking stuff is how you learn... or rather the fixing part that comes after breakage :) | 00:18 |
| arbir | fde... do you know how to search in nautilus ? | 00:18 |
| askvicto1 | Baby_Shambl3s: I use del.icio.us, or the OSS equivalent, del.irio.us | 00:19 |
| Mimi | arbir, theres a magnifing glass icon on the top, click it | 00:19 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | gnyffel: I luv you thanx for the info ive been looking for this feature since leaving my ISP BT and only now I figured out its available by other mean | 00:19 |
| fde | arbir: I'd recommend tracker actually for Hardy... much better searching :) | 00:19 |
| Mimi | offload, second... let me check | 00:19 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | fde: i prefer not to break but get things working right, fixing is a hasle | 00:19 |
| arbir | Mimi.. let me eval both things | 00:19 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Tee-hee! *giggles like a school girl and plays with the fancy graphical effects* | 00:19 |
| arbir | fde tracker ? where is that? is it the same as that deskbar applet ? | 00:20 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | askvicto1: i think so apt-cahe search .... | 00:20 |
| fde | arbir: If you're using Hardy, go to Applications > Accessories > Tracker Search Tool ... or System > Preferences > Search and Indexing to set it up. | 00:20 |
| barslo1 | can someone please tell me the easiest way to convert .vob files to .avi files? | 00:20 |
| fde | arbir: actually, deskbar applet will use tracker, yes | 00:20 |
| TheOther | hi, I have a problem with Totem. Often, I will be playing an mp3, a video or even something off of the web and suddenly, my entire computer freezes, requiring a hard restart. Any ideas? I am running Hardy w/ compiz enabled. | 00:20 |
| Scunizi | I've been struggling for days trying to get my mic to work.. any tips/solutions would be great before I loose all my hair. | 00:21 |
| soundray_ | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: join #ubuntu-offtopic -- you can talk about all this stuff there. But please keep this stuff out of this support channel. I note you've been told this before. | 00:21 |
| BOZG | If anyone here is from Ireland, are they having any issues with the .ie repositories? | 00:21 |
| arbir | fde , tracker is fine.. how can i point to a specific dir ? | 00:21 |
| fde | !repomirror | BOZG | 00:21 |
| ubottu | BOZG: 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. | 00:21 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | What does Ubuntu mean by "executable text file"? I can "view" or "run" my .txt from my USB HDD... | 00:21 |
| Mimi | offload, google comes to the rescue again | 00:21 |
| Mimi | http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4848435 | 00:21 |
| TheOther | *bump* | 00:21 |
| fde | arbir: You shouldn't need to... although you'll need to configure it before first use... it's a _very_ fast searching tool | 00:22 |
| Mimi | Dont bump me, it hurts! | 00:22 |
| BOZG | fde: I know that. I'm just wondering if there's a problem with the .ie repositories. | 00:22 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | gnyffel: firefox doesnt seem to know foxmarks is it in their extention list already or do i ahve to install it separatly | 00:22 |
| arbir | fde... how do you configure it ? | 00:22 |
| Mimi | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, you want to "view" it. the Run if for when you script | 00:22 |
| fde | BOZG: There is an issue will all *.archive.ubuntu.com repos currently. | 00:22 |
| barslo1 | can someone please tell me the easiest way to convert .vob files to .avi files? | 00:22 |
| fde | arbir: System > Administration > Search and Indexing :) | 00:23 |
| BOZG | fde: Does it relate to automatic updates by any chance? | 00:23 |
| fde | BOZG: That repo is where you get updates, so sure... | 00:23 |
| TheOther | barslol: try googling mencoder | 00:23 |
| arbir | i dont see searching and indexing @ fde | 00:23 |
| brad016 | does ubuntu come with a VNC server? | 00:23 |
| arbir | do i have to install something @ fde ? | 00:23 |
| arbir | fde @ sorry spoke too son | 00:23 |
| TheOther | barslol: it's what I use, although it is a command line tool | 00:24 |
| arbir | its actually under System - > preferences | 00:24 |
| BOZG | fde: I'm just asking because I'm being notified of available updates but constantly getting a 404 error for the updates. I've checked the repositories through my browser and the files that are supposedly updates are missing and I'm wondering why that is. | 00:24 |
| gnyffel | Baby_Shambl3s: you installed from beta.foxmarks.com? | 00:24 |
| arbir | fde @ any idea, if this tracker tool is like google desktop ? | 00:24 |
| fde | arbir: 'sudo aptitude install tracker' <-- there is a specific reason I'm saying this command, so please don't use synaptic or apt-get | 00:24 |
| arbir | fde @ google desktop sucked my CPY dry | 00:24 |
| ChaosParser | anyone ever had audacious refuse to play files, and list track length as 0:00? | 00:24 |
| TheOther | barslol: also, avidemux is great for any transcode job, although sometimes it can desync the audio | 00:24 |
| fde | BOZG: ok... please try what ubottu said. | 00:25 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Mimi: Why would it think that a .txt is a script, though? | 00:25 |
| ChaosParser | arbir: Its native, so it shouldnt be that bad, and it has resource settings. personally, i don't like it, but thats just me | 00:25 |
| gnyffel | barslo1: winff would be a good bet for vob > avi | 00:25 |
| gnyffel | barslo1: http://www.winff.org/ | 00:25 |
| barslo1 | thanks alot | 00:25 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | gnyffel: oh ok cause yeah the one they have foes up to 2.xx yeha thanx | 00:25 |
| barslo1 | Mencoder is complicated | 00:25 |
| BOZG | fde: Just did. Always an error in all repositories. Thanks. | 00:25 |
| arbir | ChaosParser: what do you use ? | 00:25 |
| Scunizi | On doing a sudo apt-get update/upgrade the systems shows that 4 packates have been kept back. Why? libqt4-core, libqt4-gui, libqt4-qt3support & libqt4-sql | 00:25 |
| BOZG | Obviously* | 00:25 |
| arbir | ChaosParser: i have been using the good old find command | 00:25 |
| gnyffel | Baby_Shambl3s: If you have ff2 installed anywhere, remember you need to use the beta on those as well. You can't mix beta and non-beta clients | 00:26 |
| TheOther | barslol: ya, my bad, it was the first thing to come to my mind | 00:26 |
| Mimi | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, well , if you come from windows you have .txt, .mov etc etc extentions, right? in linux., extentions mean crappoola, im guessing the file is chmod +x for some reason lol but you know what | 00:26 |
| BOZG | Scunizi: I'm having the same errors. It appears to be a problem with all the repositories. | 00:26 |
| ChaosParser | arbir: I don't, generally. I mean, the closest I use to anything like that is gnome-do. Which finds things just fine. But I;m somewhat OCD about my file organization, so. | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | BOZG: good to know it's not just me.. thanks | 00:26 |
| michalski | hello, I was wondering how to install google earth | 00:26 |
| BOZG | Scunizi: Are you getting a failed to fetch / 404 error? | 00:26 |
| ChaosParser | michalski: download the file and double click on it. | 00:26 |
| Mimi | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, you can disable that dialog by going to nautilus preferences then Behaviour and Executable text files: change to View when opened | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | BOZG: not this time.. but I have in the past tries. | 00:27 |
| soundray_ | !medibuntu | michalski | 00:27 |
| ubottu | michalski: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:27 |
| Fishscene | Michalski, You'll need WINE if they don't have a linux package | 00:27 |
| ChaosParser | soundray_: That has nothing to do with google earth? | 00:27 |
| BOZG | Scunizi: That seems to be my problem at the moment. I've 18 updates being held back. | 00:27 |
| soundray_ | michalski: install it from the medibuntu repository | 00:27 |
| Scunizi | Fishscene: they do have a linux package. | 00:27 |
| michalski | i did, it says it doesnt know what to do with it, its a bin file for "linux" | 00:27 |
| ChaosParser | Fishscene: No, you don't. they have a linux package. | 00:27 |
| Mimi | (((QUESTION))))) can anyone tell me what this means and how to do it? "then linked it into rcS.d" from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=237561&postcount=2 | 00:27 |
| michalski | soundray_: ok | 00:27 |
| fde | michalski: install 'googleearth-package' ... no need for medibuntu | 00:27 |
| ledmushroom | mk i have installed ubuntu on my wifes pc and she has a wireless nic and i was just wondering where or even if i could set the wpa personal password for the network so she doesnt have to type it in ever single time she boots up? | 00:27 |
| ChaosParser | michalski: Right click on it, and mark it as allow as executable. | 00:27 |
| Scunizi | BOZG: yea.. I've been trying different repos with pretty much the same results. | 00:27 |
| soundray_ | ChaosParser: it does indeed | 00:28 |
| TheOther | hi, I have a problem with Totem. Often, I will be playing an mp3, a video or even something off of the web and suddenly, my entire computer freezes, requiring a hard restart. Any ideas? I am running Hardy w/ compiz enabled. | 00:28 |
| Fishscene | Thanks for the info, Scunizi and ChaosParser | 00:28 |
| michalski | fde: i did...now what? :P | 00:28 |
| Scunizi | michalski: when installing.. sudo <package name> | 00:28 |
| Mimi | Scunizi, have you read the channel topic | 00:28 |
| soundray_ | michalski: I suggest you try medibuntu before you bypass the package manager, as ChaosParser suggests | 00:28 |
| Mimi | !repomirror | 00:28 |
| ubottu | 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. | 00:28 |
| michalski | scunizi: it says that it doesnt exist | 00:28 |
| Scunizi | Mimi.. what are you referring to ? | 00:28 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | gnyffel: are you sure that beta works on FF3b5 cause i keep being sent back to the extention page telling em i cnat download since it is for older versions | 00:28 |
| Mimi | the repomirror thingy | 00:28 |
| michalski | soundray_: wilco | 00:28 |
| BOZG | Scunizi: Oh well, we'll just have to wait! I've an irrational hatred of having outstanding updates. | 00:28 |
| Mimi | lol | 00:29 |
| Scunizi | michalski: sudo ./<packagename> | 00:29 |
| Mimi | should be fixed soonish :) | 00:29 |
| soundray_ | michalski: pardon? | 00:29 |
| fde | michalski: soundray_: dpkg -L googleearth-package | grep bin ... man <the_result> will tell you how to create a .deb from files you download from google.... thus not avoiding the package manager. | 00:29 |
| Scunizi | Mimi: nope didn't catch that. thanks. | 00:29 |
| michalski | soundray_: will comply | 00:29 |
| Mimi | np, it helped me a lot Scunizi | 00:29 |
| TheOther | can anyone help me with my totem problem? | 00:30 |
| michalski | hold on fde :) | 00:30 |
| soundray_ | fde: but why, if you can just 'sudo apt-get install googleearth'? | 00:30 |
| LaneLimited | HELL ALL... I am receiving a file from someone on Pidgin / yahoo ... When my screen saver activates and locks my screen is that going to pause this download like it did to me today while i was downloading theh 23 updates!? How can i stop this , I already set my screen saver to 2 hours and turned it non activate but it says i will be "idle" in two hours.. Thank you! | 00:30 |
| fde | michalski: note it'll just be /usr/bin/<this> ... not the entire thing. | 00:30 |
| TheOther | it's a complete system crash scenario, out of the box | 00:30 |
| gnyffel | Baby_Shambl3s: I'm using it right now. | 00:30 |
| Mathman | soundray_: cmon man! roger wilco | 00:30 |
| fde | soundray_: because using official stuff is better than 3rd party things? | 00:30 |
| fde | soundray_: It'll take 2 secs longer. | 00:31 |
| arbir | i installed Spe python editor, and along with it, synaptic installed 4 things more.. now, when i remove SPE, the other softwares dont go away.... | 00:31 |
| Scunizi | fde can you create a .deb from a binary? like google earth? | 00:31 |
| Mathman | arbir: well what do you have a 2 gig hard disk? I really wouldn't worry about it... | 00:31 |
| soundray_ | fde: I don't regard medibuntu as 3rd party | 00:31 |
| fde | Scunizi: that is what 'googleearth-package' is for... yes | 00:31 |
| ryukun | TheOther, can you explain your problem? | 00:31 |
| fde | soundray_: but it is... | 00:32 |
| arbir | Mathman: all this adds to bloat.. when we install fedora, we keep complaing, that its bloat.. now, this is what this install is also doing. | 00:32 |
| silverblade | doing a server install, intending on using lvm - what size should i make the / partition if im going to separate everything else aside from bin/sbin/lib ? | 00:32 |
| soundray_ | fde: it's as much 3rd party as universe... | 00:32 |
| Scunizi | silverblade: 8-12 gigs | 00:32 |
| jrib | arbir: you can run apt-get autoremove | 00:32 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Hmm... everything seems so much... bigger... somehow on Ubuntu than on Windows with the same resolution. I think it is the font. | 00:32 |
| TheOther | ryukun: My problem is that sometimes (I can't determine the cause) totem will completely freeze my entire system | 00:32 |
| b1z4rr0 | hi | 00:33 |
| arbir | jrib, let me try | 00:33 |
| fde | soundray_: not at all. Ubuntu members maintain Universe... any random person can set up a 3rd party repo. | 00:33 |
| Simonft | i need help geting my broadcom on a Powerbook G4 to work | 00:33 |
| TheOther | ryukun: no keyboard response, nothing | 00:33 |
| Fishscene | !broadcom | Simonft | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Simonft: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 00:33 |
| Scunizi | silverblade: if you're going to separate var, etc, usr etc.... then you might be able to make it smaller | 00:33 |
| Mathman | arbir: bloat to me would be a slew of apps running. not something sitting on a hard disk. especially with todays sized hard disks. a few K or Megs or whatever is nothing. but to each his own I spose. | 00:33 |
| silverblade | This is on a 10 gb disk. | 00:33 |
| TheOther | ryukun: I've found one site that has proven to reproduce the affect | 00:33 |

| TheOther | ryukun: would you like the link? Dunno if it'll cause the same problem on your comp | 00:34 |
| TheOther | never had this problem before hardy btw | 00:34 |
| arbir | hmm Mathman, you have a point... | 00:34 |
| grizlo42 | including positions of panels and everything | 00:34 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | gnyffel: :/ how can somehting so simple be so hard for me how did I get through uni? | 00:34 |
| ryukun | TheOther, okay, I'll try the link | 00:34 |
| Mathman | arbir: ha, and who's we? I'm just fine with fedora installs | 00:34 |
| fde | Scunizi: It didn't need tweaking... just right click the volume applet > Open Volume Control and turn up the mic setting... | 00:34 |
| soundray_ | fde: medibuntu is not setup by random persons, but Ubuntu members, too | 00:35 |
| b1z4rr0 | can anyone help me with the xmms stuff? | 00:35 |
| fde | Scunizi: It is muted by default because otherwise it tends to give off distortion all the time. | 00:35 |
| grizlo42 | anyone? | 00:35 |
| Scunizi | fde.. been there done that.. nothing.. installed pulse audio configuration stuff & tweeked.. nothing.. | 00:35 |
| TheOther | ryuknun: thanks | 00:35 |
| gnyffel | Baby_Shambl3s: well, from beta.foxmarks.com you login, then you choose learn more at the bottom. Should be a download button there. Is that what you did? | 00:35 |
| arbir | Mathman: i said, we to refer to most bloggers who speak about other distros.. anyways... nothing else to be said on this | 00:35 |

| Mimi | zelluz, system > preferencecs > power management - pick how you want it | 00:36 |
| Mimi | !init | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 00:36 |

| TheOther | that link crashes my computer | 00:36 |
| soundray_ | Mimi: make an entry in fstab and use the 'users,noauto' options | 00:37 |
| abbot | How do I turn on Compiz? | 00:37 |
| Fishscene | ah | 00:37 |
| Mimi | soundray_, doesnt work | 00:37 |
| ryukun | TheOther, I can view the movie on that page without any problem | 00:37 |
| soundray_ | Mimi: can you elaborate | 00:37 |
| Simonft | !Hi | |404NoTFounD| | 00:37 |
| ubottu | |404NoTFounD|: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:37 |
| Fishscene | It didn't crash mine... although I have a script blocker if that has anything to do with antyhign. | 00:37 |
| ryukun | I use 8.04 | 00:37 |
| TheOther | ryuknun; ok, I can't figure out what my problem is then, are you viewing it w/ totem? | 00:37 |
| Mimi | soundray_, doesnt mount at boot whenn i do that | 00:37 |
| dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf | Just when everything seemed great, I start up a video file with the default video viewer and it goes in like 1 FPS. Extreme lag for every video file for some reason. Any idea why? | 00:37 |
| fde | Scunizi: Is it a USB mic? | 00:37 |
| |404NoTFounD| | ]i have 8.04 (upgraded from 7.10) and my soundcard is not working anymore. | 00:37 |
| Scunizi | abbot: system/preferances/appearance/visual effects | 00:37 |
| Scunizi | fde no.. old fashion'd type. | 00:37 |
| grizlo42 | sigh fine anyone know where i can LOOK to figure out how to reset settings and panel positions to default | 00:38 |
| ryukun | TheOther, yes, with totem-plugin-viewer 2.22.1 | 00:38 |
| TheOther | rykunun: because for me, as soon as the page loads, it will freeze everything | 00:38 |
| soundray_ | Mimi: you still have to run a mount command from your login scripts. It won't need a password, though. | 00:38 |
| Simonft | |404NoTFounD|: what kind? | 00:38 |
| TheOther | do you have the restricted decoders installed? | 00:38 |
| fde | Scunizi: then there is no reason for it to not work if you sound card is set up... wouldn't even know where to start troubleshooting, sorry :( | 00:38 |

| arbir | can anybody tell me, what does this message mean ? ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 00:38 |
| TheOther | ryuknun: Hardy 8.04, released edition | 00:39 |
| abbot | Scunizi: That's what I thought it was. It tells me "Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled". I had no problems running them in the previous version of Ubuntu. They ran well actually. | 00:39 |
| |404NoTFounD| | Simonft:give me a min and ill go find out | 00:39 |
| Mimi | arbir thats nothing, ignore it, means apt-get if finishing to install something, its a good thing | 00:39 |
| Scunizi | fde: I know that's why it's driving me nuts.. I use a switchbox to flip between external speakers and headset.. mic always loops through nomatter what the settings. | 00:39 |
| TheOther | Y-Town: let me check if I have that installed. | 00:39 |
| gnyffel | Mimi: I believe I posted a link earlier. It's basically just a simple bash script you tell the system to execute at a certain point during startup | 00:39 |

| ryukun | TheOther, when the page loads the movie doesn't run until I click on it | 00:40 |
| arbir | fde: i remember from command line, i used to to ldconfig to update library paths | 00:40 |

| TheOther | Y-Town: YAY! It works now! Thanks! I don' t know if this qualifies as a bug though, because without that package, my system was hard crashing | 00:43 |

| Scunizi | abbot: you should have a "restricted drivers manager" under system/admin that you can enable the ati drivers.. ati can be a pain.. I have an nvidia so ati is foreign territory for me. | 00:48 |
| NW2190 | amendo: you think disabling it would help? I have a relatively old router if that makes a difference. | 00:48 |

| amenado | knight5482-> i took a peek and it seems you have a brooktree video card? | 01:03 |

| fde | arbir: dmix is alsa's software mixer... it performed the same tasks as pulseaudio, but pulseaudio is lower latency... I have no links handy though I'm afraid. | 01:03 |
| arbir | fde: where do you learn all this ? | 01:04 |
| langleyo | OK My issue with installing Adobe Player is resolved....thanks, Just Purged existing player and reinstalled new one from command line | 01:04 |
| sFEARs | incugus, if most movies work fine, but some show up with those problems and your using different players and gettings the same problem it sounds like a bad recording | 01:04 |
| sFEARs | matt___, search download.com for keylogger and make sure the type is under freeware | 01:04 |
| anabolix | can anyone tell me why my emerald theme keeps getting deactivated? i always have to re-enable it (emerald --replace) | 01:04 |
| fde | arbir: basically... there is only one device that provides sounds in linux... /dev/dsp ... software has to manage what can access that, or only one app can use it at a time. | 01:04 |
| xtrxfr | anabolix: add it to your sessions | 01:04 |
| fde | arbir: random knowledge picked up over 8 years of Linux :) | 01:04 |
| anabolix | xtrxfr: how do i do that? | 01:05 |
| arbir | fde: i have been in linux too for around 6 years.. but totally server side | 01:05 |
| kbrosnan | jakamo: check for gcj and acjwebplugin | 01:05 |
| arbir | desktop has so many things that i just dont know | 01:05 |
| incugus | sFEARs , they are aXXo torrents, most seem true. | 01:05 |
| anabolix | xtrxfr: oh ok i think i got it | 01:05 |
| arbir | fde: how is ur Ubuntu 8.x performing ? do you experience any choppiness ? | 01:06 |
| xtrxfr | anabolix: system->preferences->sessions add | 01:06 |
| Jeffreyf | I was hoping to avoid a re-install.....bad advertising as I am trying to convince the wife to switch. | 01:06 |
| arbir | fde: mine is slightly choppy and takes for ever to boot | 01:06 |
| Brent^ | so now that Adobe opened up flash how long before ubuntu devs make a 64 bit flash? | 01:07 |
| Sergeant_Pony | anyone know how I can fix my wifi? I'm using wpa - tkip it worked fine until a few day's ago. | 01:07 |
| fde | arbir: Nope, no choppiness. | 01:07 |
| ariqs | how to get to that video config screen you're taken to when you change video drivers? where you can select monitors and resolutions and such | 01:07 |
| anabolix | xtrxfr: when i "add" it to sessions... is just using the command (emerald --replace) good enough? or should i search for the file ( thats if i can, sorry im used to windows conventions) | 01:07 |
| knight5482 | amenado: no , my card is "kodicom 4400" , while i searched the net , i found in the ubuntu forum posts , someone that had the same card (only diffrent he got card of 16 cameras ) and got the ubuntu recognise it as a Kodicom 4400r card by adding 2 lines to somefile named "modprobe" , i tryed to find this file , but its seems its not longer in the new ubuntu : here is the post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258867 (look | 01:07 |
| knight5482 | at the 2nd replay) | 01:07 |

| sensae | I'm still getting permission denied errors with NFS | 01:08 |
| fde | arbir: I haven't touched Windows in 5 years, and haven't ever owned a Mac... so Linux has been my universal OS since then... my knowledge on server based things is lacking though, maybe you'll be able to help me in that area in the future :) | 01:08 |
| anabolix | xtrxfr: appreciate the help! :D | 01:08 |
| jakamo | are you using firefox 2 or firefox 3? | 01:08 |

| fde | arbir: Ahh, I wasn't aware they had a specific pulseaudio plugin... that's even better :) | 01:10 |
| ariqs | ahh, so it depends on drivers you're using, huh? thanks | 01:10 |
| fde | arbir: clearer sound? | 01:10 |
| GlobeTrotter | what am i doing wrong? | 01:10 |
| ariqs | scunizi: I don't mean that, but thanks anyway | 01:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | are recent updates causing complete system lockups for anyone? | 01:11 |
| fde | jakamo: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras at some point? | 01:11 |
| Scunizi | ariqs: nvidia-settings? | 01:11 |
| sFEARs | when does your system lock up Daisuke_Ido | 01:11 |

| === trucMuche is now known as MatMuche | ||
| sFEARs | pen.. i can't understand you | 01:12 |
| DFlame | sorry folks, didnt mean it to hit the ubuntu servers | 01:12 |
| SeaPhor | GlobeTrotter, have you assigned a port and enabled thet port on your router? | 01:12 |
| fde | arbir: that might be your speakers rather than the player... | 01:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen Is the software you are installing the same version.. both from our repos? | 01:12 |
| doug_ | SeaPhor: thanks but no one is talking to me in the other rooms. | 01:12 |
| pen | sFEARs, I uninstall wine and delete the menu item manually, then I went to install another version of it then the menu doesn't come out anymore | 01:12 |
| arbir | fde: and master control does not control volume, somehow.. when i click on mute or totally take down the slider, i can still hear my player playing | 01:13 |
| Cicciput | compiz freeze ! | 01:13 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I tried both purge and install wine in the repo again, but the menu still doesn't come out | 01:13 |
| SeaPhor | doug_, yeah, i have been sent to rooms with 80 ppl in them, but no one really there | 01:13 |
| fde | jakamo: ok... that's why it's not working... please remove all packages returned via: 'dpkg -l openjdk* | grep ^ii' | 01:13 |
| styrman | does someone know a text to speech client which supports acapela, loquendo or AT&T Natural Voices? | 01:13 |
| sFEARs | Daisuke_Ido, at the grub boot menu (may have to hit escape to enter at first boot) press C for command line and enter force=acpi to change the way the kernel handles some hardware things.. if it works you can permanently add the force=acpi to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 01:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen did you try another version of wine from outside our repos | 01:14 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I did | 01:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sFEARs: is this a change in handling acpi that was pushed out in a recent update? | 01:14 |
| SlimThug875 | thats not it..i am talking about the thing where you can close a window and it will still be running and all you see is a small icon of the program | 01:14 |
| SlimThug875 | thats not it..i am talking about the thing where you can close a window and it will still be running and all you see is a small icon of the program | 01:14 |
| xtrxfr | pen: you may need to add it manually | 01:14 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I checked the files installed, and found it install .menu iteam in /etc/xdg/menus | 01:14 |
| === MatMuche is now known as trucMuche | ||
| Cicciput | someone use ati card ? | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen How did you remove the menu entry? manually in gconf or some other way | 01:14 |
| fde | arbir: Very strange... | 01:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sFEARs: because he's been running hardy for a couple weeks, and this just started today | 01:14 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I go to edit menu and delete it | 01:14 |
| sFEARs | it's possible, i'm sure there were some driver updates in there that it may not be handeling correctally | 01:14 |
| cmerk | I just chmodded my /bin/chmod to 000. How can I reverse that? | 01:14 |
| arbir | fde: in fact, only when mute master and PCM, do my speakers get silent | 01:15 |
| fde | cmerk: Please tell me you're kidding. | 01:15 |
| sFEARs | i'm not sure what the acpi does.. but it fixed someones restart issue yesterday, and it's easy and worth a shot | 01:15 |
| cmerk | fde: nope. | 01:15 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I don't understand why there are .menu and .desktop in /etc/xdg/menus /usr/share/applications repectcly | 01:15 |
| fde | arbir: ahh, yes, PCM is the actual master :) | 01:15 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, the menu still doesn't show up | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen sounds like that version you tried to install messed something up. Probably an easy fix if you /join #Winehq | 01:15 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, but this is somethign to do with gnome or ubuntu not wine it self I believe because it happened before with other apps | 01:16 |
| fde | cmerk: you can reinstall chmod probably... | 01:16 |
| Cicciput | please help me | 01:16 |
| sFEARs | Daisuke_Ido, a lot of issues also have to do with proprietary graphics drivers.. maybe try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and make sure drivers are set to vesa @ 800x600, but that's a little more complicated | 01:16 |
| fde | !ati > Cicciput | 01:16 |
| cmerk | fde: ah, that's a good idea. I'll try that. | 01:16 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, no idea how to fix it? | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen it may be, what other apps have had this problem. | 01:16 |
| hotmonkeyluv | what is a good text/cli web browser? | 01:16 |
| fde | cmerk: dpkg -S /sbin/chmod to know the package. | 01:16 |
| lucia123 | Hi. I'm running ubuntu 8.04. My updates from Synaptic are too slow (I mean very often it goes from 1-5k, always less than 10k). I tried with two different repositories and it didn't help... can you help me solve this? | 01:16 |
| kindofabuzz | hotmonkeyluv: lynx | 01:17 |
| arbir | fde: is weird that PCM is the master | 01:17 |
| hotmonkeyluv | kindofabuzz: thx | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen I can only guess at what all you installed and what your sourcers list looke like. | 01:17 |
| arbir | fde: and each time i boot up, my volume always goes above the roof | 01:17 |
| fde | cmerk: uhh... /bin/chmod sorry. | 01:17 |
| arbir | fde: any amount of setting has not solved issues | 01:17 |
| langleyo | Hi...i'm trying to set up kismet but program fails to find libmagick9......anyone know where i can get it please? | 01:17 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, any other apps, if I manually delete the menu item it wouldn't create menu automatically after I reinstall | 01:17 |
| knight5482 | amenado: did you looked at the post i sent you? where is that file "modprobe" is location? | 01:17 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, how does that related to sources list? | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen sorry I dont have an answer | 01:17 |
| fde | arbir: it _should_ retain volume through reboots... there is a asound init script to try to ensure it... but here it's always set too low... heh | 01:18 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, don't you have this problems before? | 01:18 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, or you haven't met one yuet | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen It relates in something you installed messed up something. LEading me to think there will be unsupported repos in your list | 01:18 |
| arbir | fde: there are a lot of little things that matter much which i am not able to configure, due to lack of knowledge | 01:18 |
| arbir | fde: sometimes, it gets frustrating | 01:18 |
| fbc | Is there anything that will cause apache2 to recreate the *.conf files?? I tried dpkg-reconfigure, but it didn't work... | 01:18 |
| Mimi | QUESTION does anyone know how to make xchat not show join/part messages BY DEFAULT | 01:18 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, how does that unsupported related to menu items? What is your logic? | 01:18 |
| arbir | fde: but on the whole.... the experience is super | 01:19 |
| jakamo | I upgraded from gutsy to hardy, | 01:19 |
| jakamo | First isssue: All hd?? drives are renamed by the system to sd?? so they won't mount--INCLUDING THE BOOT DRIVE! | 01:19 |
| jakamo | Second issue firefox default install is F3-beta software. It caused several problems with web applications I use. I had to uninstall Firefox 3 and install firefox 2. Why is hardy released with beta software? | 01:19 |
| jakamo | Third issue: Nvidia drivers corrupted, spent several hours uninstalling and re-installing nvidia drivers before finding a working system. | 01:19 |
| jakamo | Fourth issue: Java no longer works in firefox. Still looking for solution. | 01:19 |
| FloodBot1 | jakamo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:19 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I don't get what you mean | 01:19 |
| bazhang | mimi right click on channel name | 01:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen obviously | 01:19 |
| arbir | fde: in fact, Xubuntu's colour scheme is supeb.. i installed Xubuntu on my other desktop, its runs really well..... | 01:19 |
| thiebaude | ff3 isn't even final yet | 01:19 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, the apps installs and runs perfectly with command line. It just the menu doesn't create automatically like before | 01:19 |
| Mimi | bazhang, I know, but I dont want to do taht every single time i join a channel. is there a way to do it by default! @_@ | 01:19 |
| fbc | Mimi, I wish I knew, I've been tring to do that for years | 01:19 |

| jakamo | fde: removed all openjdk packages, still no go | 01:20 |
| arbir | fde: have you had issues connecting to windows shares from Ubuntu 8.x naualius | 01:20 |
| pen | bazhang, I have been patient enought the whole day before sitting in front of the computer in IRC waiting answers | 01:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | when did 2.6.24.17 get pushed to updates? | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen I understand your issue. no I have not seen it before. What all have you changed or added to your setup from outside supported repos? | 01:20 |
| Mimi | /dev/sdb1 /media/USB\040Drive ext3 defaults,users 0 0 ----_> is this correct if i have a partition there i want to be able to access as a normal user | 01:20 |
| kbrosnan | jakamo: what does java -version return? | 01:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | 2.6.24-17 that is | 01:20 |
| fbc | danbhfive, ok.... | 01:20 |
| bazhang | pen if no one knows then dont keep asking them-->it is not polite thanks | 01:20 |
| fde | jakamo: and sun-java6-plugin is installed? | 01:21 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I didn't change any repo | 01:21 |
| jakamo | kbrosnan, java version "1.6.0_06" | 01:21 |
| pen | bazhang, I'm hoping someone out there knows | 01:21 |
| danbhfive | fbc: er, something like sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 | 01:21 |
| jakamo | fde, yes | 01:21 |
| fde | jakamo: You'll have to restart Firefox... then check 'about:plugins' to see if it's listed. | 01:21 |
| Mimi | Question: I see lots of nm_dbus errors when im shutting down, mmm is dbus broken and if so how can i fix it | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pen ok, what about other applications, addons for compiz etc.. anything that you compiled yourself | 01:21 |
| jakamo | fde: about:plugins shows no java | 01:21 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, I don't compile, I only go to synaptics | 01:21 |
| kbrosnan | jakamo: is it listed in about:plugins if you type that in the addess bar? | 01:21 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, or install debs | 01:21 |
| fde | jakamo: 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-plugin' so it update-alternatives itself perhaps too | 01:22 |
| pen | Jack_Sparrow, from offical websites | 01:22 |
| jakamo | kbrosnan, no | 01:22 |

| fde | jakamo: does 'ls /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins | grep javaplugin' return anything? | 01:23 |
| fbc | danbhfive, apache.conf and httpd.conf | 01:23 |
| fbc | danbhfive, apache2.conf | 01:24 |
| pen | cosmodad, there are many of them which one do you mean | 01:24 |
| cosmodad | pen: the best, most comprehensive one. :) | 01:24 |
| fde | jakamo: (that is where firefox 3 looks too) | 01:24 |
| SeaPhor | knight5482, did you try locate "modprobe.conf" | 01:24 |
| jakamo | fde: returns libjavaplugin.so | 01:24 |
| chetnick | dont have knight5482 it should be in /etc/modprobe.conf | 01:24 |
| cosmodad | pen: or at least one Ubuntu-related, e.g. with software available in the reps. | 01:24 |
| chetnick | knight5482 it should be in /etc/modprobe.conf | 01:24 |

| Daisuke_Ido | sFEARs: it boots fine, he can log in, get to a gnome desktop, but about 60 seconds later, freeze. | 01:28 |
| jrib | langleyo: it's in the repositories. Use your favorite package manager to install kismet | 01:28 |
| fde | jakamo: ls -l /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/ | grep libjavaplugin.so <-- what does that return? | 01:29 |

| mib_lk9szj | hello, i have a problem writing a file, can anyone help me? | 01:55 |
| usser | woddf2, subsection display, modes | 01:55 |
| fde | mib_lk9szj: what is the error? | 01:55 |
| ianliu_88 | How do I share folders with Windows? | 01:55 |
| virtuald | does apt-listbugs get statuses from debian bts or launchpad? | 01:55 |
| Plummet | manual installation of a program, can anyone do it? | 01:55 |
| fde | ianliu_88: in Hardy? | 01:55 |
| Mathman | mib_lk9szj: problem as in? | 01:55 |
| swiat | samba connection no longer works after upgrading to 8.0.4 - any suggestions? | 01:55 |
| ianliu_88 | fde: yes | 01:55 |
| vbman11 | Plummet: what is the program? | 01:56 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: right-click, choose 'share', let it install samba if it needs to, share as smb... | 01:56 |
| jakamo | fde, kbrosnan: all waht started this, I was trying to place an order with my stock broker, and tried to get the streming quotes, which I couldn't because it was java based. I finally got the java working and missed my window. BLAH! | 01:56 |
| mib_lk9szj | ok, i'm testing undervolt, and i need echo a file phc_vids, but i get a "permission denied" | 01:56 |
| woddf2 | usser: What do I do after I find that? | 01:56 |
| vbman11 | Plummet? | 01:56 |
| Lifeisfunny | ere4si, yeah, that's the volumes, like flashdisks and ipods <blah blah> I want to hide all icons including files that might be stored there on the Desktop and make them visible in the Desktop directory folder in the Places menu. | 01:56 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]: I tried that, but he asks for ROOT permissions.. Should I start nautilus with sudo to do this? | 01:56 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: in theory that should work.. I only use samba for sharing with other ubuntu boxes here, I just assume it should work with windows... | 01:57 |
| usser | woddf2, found it? see all kinds of resolutions there like "1024x768"? | 01:57 |
| woddf2 | Yes | 01:57 |
| vbman11 | Plummet: are you still there? | 01:57 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: It'll ask for your password.. that's the same one you log in with | 01:57 |
| usser | woddf2, put the resolution that u want gdm to run at first | 01:57 |
| woddf2 | (with refresh rates) | 01:57 |
| Plummet | yes | 01:57 |
| swiat | I can't connect to my samba server ... worked fine before upgrade - eclipse is not stable either. | 01:57 |
| ere4si | Lifeisfunny: it is for partitions mounted in fstab | 01:57 |
| vbman11 | Plummet: what is the program? | 01:57 |
| usser | woddf2, pastebin it so i can tell what exactly to change | 01:57 |
| fde | swiat: ianliu_88: right click the 'Public' folder in your home dir... select "Share Folder" near the bottom of the right click menu... this won't work yet, log out and back in... then do it again... now it should work :) | 01:57 |
| usser | woddf2, pastebin the whole thing | 01:58 |
| Plummet | vbman11: ventriloscript-v2.1.0_02 | 01:58 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]: He doesn't asks for me... | 01:58 |
| woddf2 | usser: I will | 01:58 |
| arooni__ | i cant hear audio when playing back .wmv files embedded within web pages in firefox using totem-plugin-viewer 2.22.1 ... ideas? | 01:58 |
| zcat[1] | !root | ianliu_88 | 01:58 |
| ubottu | ianliu_88: 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 | 01:58 |
| vbman11 | Plummet: try "sudo apt-get install ventriloscript-v2.1.0_02" | 01:58 |
| Lifeisfunny | ere4si, I think it's actually an item that lacks customize-ability | 01:58 |
| ere4si | k | 01:58 |
| jakamo | swiat, zcat[1], forget samba, use sshfs--much better, imho. | 01:58 |
| vbman11 | Plummet: try "sudo apt-get install ventriloscript" i ment | 01:58 |
| danbhfive | arooni__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:58 |
| randomwalker | fde, i solved my wav problem. you'll never guess what it was. my monitor was too close to the rest of my computer. when i move it away it works :) | 01:59 |
| Cpudan80 | arooni__: Remove that plugin and use mozill-mplayer instead | 01:59 |
| fde | randomwalker: haha | 01:59 |
| arooni__ | danbhfive, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. | 01:59 |
| Prose | i heard it's a good idea to allow imcp through iptables.. why would that be ? | 01:59 |
| arooni__ | Cpudan80, how do i remove it | 01:59 |
| Cpudan80 | arooni__: mozilla-mplayer ** | 01:59 |
| Plummet | vbman11: could not find, however i am going to watch the office now :) | 01:59 |
| usser | arooni__, install w32codecs from medibuntu | 01:59 |
| zcat[1] | jakamo: probably; but samba is built into windows; a lot easier when ppl drop around and want to grab files, you don't need to install anything first | 01:59 |
| arooni__ | usser, w32codecs is already the newest version. | 02:00 |
| Cpudan80 | arooni__: sudo apt-get remove pluginNameHere | 02:00 |
| woddf2 | usser: http://pastebin.com/f1b2b9875 | 02:00 |
| zcat[1] | jakamo: and I find samba works pretty well, better than nfs last time I tried it | 02:00 |
| fde | Prose: icmp ... I would personally disagree, but it allows things like ping etc for troubleshooting.... it also allows things like nmap | 02:00 |
| arooni__ | Cpudan80, no idea how it would be named though | 02:00 |
| Cpudan80 | arooni__: To install the other one do sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer | 02:00 |
| vbman11 | Hey everyone! I'm having a problem connecting my ipod to banshee. | 02:00 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]: I know how Root things work, at least I think. The problem is: I have shared the folder by running nautilus with sudo and than sharing it.. is that supposed to work? | 02:00 |
| Cpudan80 | arooni__: Neither do I, sorry | 02:00 |
| Prose | fde: so you wouldnt say its needed a for a healthy samba and sshd server, is that so ? | 02:00 |
| arooni__ | how do i remove the totem video player plugin fore firefox on gutsy | 02:00 |
| Cpudan80 | arooni__: maybe you can just install the mplayer one and it will work? | 02:00 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: it should not be necessary. | 02:00 |
| Cpudan80 | not real sure | 02:00 |
| usser | woddf2, cool and you want it to use what 1024x768? | 02:01 |
| arooni__ | Cpudan80, its alreayd installed | 02:01 |
| woddf2 | usser: Yes | 02:01 |
| fde | Prose: It isn't necessary for anything... it is the Internet Control Management Protocol... it does nothing useful. | 02:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | okay... http://pastebin.ca/1012239 | 02:01 |
| NW2190 | Hey, does anyone have the current banshee+1 installed? I think it's slowing down my internet connection on ubuntu... possibly a Last.fm plugin issue or something. | 02:01 |
| jakamo | zcat[1]: true but sshfs works on any system you have an ssh account with, and can be used with windows if you install cygwin. Since ditching samba for sshfs all my problems with permissions, etc have gone away. | 02:01 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]:yeah.. my ubuntu is strange. Maybe because it was upgraded from beta? I think I will reinstall it | 02:01 |
| Prose | fde: awesome thanks :) | 02:01 |
| vbman11 | Banshee sees my iPod but says there isn't anything in it! | 02:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | this is the only thing different between a time when a system freezes solid and when it gets shutdown normally | 02:01 |
| projektdotnet | xorg recognises my external monitor as a dell 22" and not the widescreen 24" that it is, any ideas on how to fix it? | 02:01 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: good idea. I ended up reinstalling mine, ubuntu upgrades don't work as well as they probably should in my experience | 02:02 |
| usser | woddf2, and your normal screen resolution is 1024x768 too i assume | 02:02 |
| woddf2 | usser: ? | 02:02 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]: ;) | 02:02 |
| ianliu_88 | by the way, is there a way to kill X? | 02:02 |
| usser | woddf2, the one u use when u log in | 02:02 |
| woddf2 | usser: GDM uses 1400*1050. | 02:02 |
| usser | woddf2, right and after u log in thats what u get? | 02:03 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: ctrl-alt-backspace (but it just respawns again) | 02:03 |
| woddf2 | ianliu_88: Press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill X. | 02:03 |
| Prose | oh also, is there a way to mount linux drives over internet ..easily.. samba is all good but outside LAN (so I heard) | 02:03 |
| arooni__ | and that worked | 02:03 |
| === fazuka__ is now known as fazuka_ | ||
| fde | Prose: NFS | 02:03 |
| woddf2 | usser: GDM uses 1400*1050, and after I log in it uses 1024*768. | 02:03 |
| fde | Prose: also, you can mount standard FTP directories. | 02:03 |
| Prose | fde: does it work "natively" in Winxp ? | 02:03 |
| zcat[1] | ianliu_88: from a shell, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' will turn the gui off | 02:03 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]: yeah, thats funky ^^ | 02:03 |
| ianliu_88 | just curiosity | 02:03 |
| Prose | fde: yeah but FTP doesn't have the Windows Explorer samba gives :) | 02:04 |
| Pie-rate | rhythmbox is broken, it won't play anything from the radio, from the stores, locally, flac, ogg, mp3, nothing. it just doesn't make any sound, the progress bar doesn't move. it buffers and then nothing happens. | 02:04 |
| usser | woddf2, i see, ok see a line there that says Virtual 1400 1050 change that to 1024 768 and restart xorg | 02:04 |
| Prose | fde: Windows explorer feeling* | 02:04 |
| Pie-rate | and this is a clean install of 8.04 heron | 02:04 |
| fde | Prose: Who knows... Windows generally doesn't like anything that is proficient ime | 02:04 |
| Prose | fde: would you NFS is secure.. like ssh? | 02:05 |
| woddf2 | usser: I will try that. | 02:05 |
| fde | Prose: NFS is more secure than SMB :/ | 02:05 |
| ianliu_88 | zcat[1]: thanks for all :) | 02:05 |
| usser | thats arguable | 02:05 |
| Prose | fde: good enough for me :P :) | 02:05 |
| whitt | hello all, is there a way to stop pulse audio from pausing my music whenever i switch users? Anytime my wife logs in on her side, the music will pause. | 02:06 |
| === reiser is now known as bender | ||
| Prose | fde: I will explore and see if I get Windows to automatically mount a NFS partition over the internet... that would be way cool | 02:06 |
| fde | Prose: let me know, I have a samba server around just to share files with my step father cuz he refuses to use a decent OS | 02:06 |
| woddf2 | usser: Thanks | 02:06 |
| usser | woddf2, worked? | 02:07 |
| woddf2 | usser: Yes | 02:07 |
| woddf2 | (albeit with different refresh rate) | 02:07 |
| usser | woddf2, cool, no problem | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | I heard There is some Free NFS Server/client for windows. but never found/tried it yet. | 02:07 |
| zcat[1] | It's easy to get Linux to do smb.. much, much harder to get Windows to do nfs or whatever... | 02:07 |
| fde | Dr_willis: here's hoping Prose finds it in his research and tells us about it :) | 02:08 |
| * zcat[1] is lazy | 02:08 | |
| Dr_willis | fde, i was thinming it was by/from MS. So im not sure i would use it if i did find it. :) | 02:08 |
| fde | zcat[1]: SMB is inefficient and insecure and just plain crap... it's about 30 year old technology out of IBM that no one but Microsoft cares about. | 02:08 |
| whitt | i also have a secondary hardrive that i have to click on to mount everytime i reboot. is there a way to automount this, so that it is already mounted? | 02:08 |
| jakamo | zcat[1], Windows can do nfs through cygwin. Anyone with the smarts to get into linux can put cygwin on Windows. | 02:08 |
| zcat[1] | fde: yeah. But it happens to work :) | 02:09 |
| fde | Dr_willis: maybe part of Unix tools for Windows or whatever that package is called. | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | whitt, add a suitable line for it in the fstab file. | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | fde, that sounds about right. | 02:09 |
| fde | zcat[1]: cool, he knows about samba... nfs would be better. | 02:09 |
| usser | whitt, yes you can add an entry to /etc/fstab | 02:09 |
| mcisbackuk | Hi I've just installed Xubuntu Hardy, it seems it hasn't picked up my ATI Radeon 9200 drivers, although Ubuntu 8.04 does...any suggestion | 02:09 |
| whitt | usser, i figured, just wasn't sure what i needed to add | 02:10 |
| Prose | do they make the ubuntun names follow alphabetically | 02:10 |
| fde | mcisbackuk: there is no reason for that, Xubuntu is Ubuntu with a different GUI | 02:10 |
| jakamo | Even better, If anyone here has the need to really marry Windows to Linux, colinux is totally awesome! I used it for about a year before making my wholesale switch to ubuntu. | 02:10 |
| raulh | "oh noe raulh is back" | 02:10 |
| raulh | well, for somereason my ver of ubutnu dosnt play mp3 ect | 02:10 |
| raulh | and at first it prompted me | 02:10 |
| raulh | but updatemmangfer was open so it could download now i cant get it to ask me for the codecs again | 02:11 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: Thats what I thought, so why hasn't it picked it up? | 02:11 |
| usser | whitt, is it an ntfs drive? | 02:11 |
| whitt | no, ext3 | 02:11 |
| whitt | sorry usser ext3 | 02:11 |
| XDS2010 | frogscott ill talk to you saturday :) | 02:11 |
| fde | mcisbackuk: no idea really... is 'linux-restricted-modules-generic' installed? | 02:11 |
| usser | whitt, do you know its /dev name? | 02:11 |
| ere4si | raulh: double click a mp3 file and it will | 02:11 |
| zcat[1] | raulh: open a shell and type "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" -- it'll install a ton of stuff you probably didn't even know you wanted | 02:11 |
| raulh | it dosnt prompt me anymore | 02:12 |
| jakamo | raulh, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:12 |
| raulh | thankz zcat | 02:12 |
| raulh | im go now cuz my dad bashed my head into corner | 02:12 |
| raulh | so im go lay down for a bit | 02:12 |
| raulh | thanks for da help | 02:12 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: Yes | 02:12 |
| jakamo | raulh, or install vlc -- apt-get install vlc and then run vlc mymusicfile.mp3 | 02:12 |
| fde | zcat[1]: I like that wording, heh | 02:12 |
| whitt | usser, i know it's mount point, | 02:13 |
| mavsman4457 | Will Ubuntu installed on an SD card run just as fast as it would on an SSD? | 02:13 |
| usser | whitt, right ok is it an external one? | 02:13 |
| zcat[1] | fde: well, he won't be back again in a half hour asking how to make flash work, or get the windows fonts.. | 02:13 |
| fde | mcisbackuk: lsmod | grep {fglrx,nvidia} return anything? (I forgot which you wanted, but this should return either or) | 02:13 |
| fde | zcat[1]: Or for playing DVD's etc... java though... UGH | 02:14 |
| danbhfive | mavsman4457: be forwarned, SD cards have a VERY low life span | 02:14 |
| STSX | Can someone here help me modify my /boot/grub/menu.lst to include a new Linux distro I installed on another partition? I'm close but I need some help. | 02:14 |
| mavsman4457 | danbhfive, ya i know but they are pretty cheap | 02:14 |
| whitt | usser, sorry, it's internal. If I go /media it's listed only as disk | 02:14 |
| zcat[1] | fde: well, playing dvd's isn't in restricted-extras.. would be nice if it was but there are some retarded laws around.. | 02:15 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: Nope lsmod returned nothing | 02:15 |
| raulh | arrg perfect it dosnt detect my sound card | 02:15 |
| fde | STSX: can you please show us your fdisk -l /dev/hd<whatever> and menu.lst via paste.ubuntu.com ? | 02:15 |
| jcsmith | Can anyone in here help me figure out why the scorlling on my touchpad isn't working? | 02:15 |
| raulh | it detects it it just i cannot hear the playback | 02:15 |
| fde | mcisbackuk: 'sudo modprobe fglrx' (I think you said ATI?) | 02:15 |
| STSX | fde: Sure thing, hang on... | 02:15 |
| zcat[1] | raulh: checl the volume control level? | 02:16 |
| CarlFK | Dependency is not satisfiable: libguicast - anhone know where I can find that? | 02:16 |
| raulh | i did | 02:16 |
| usser | whitt, i see, well what does this say mount | grep /media/disk | 02:16 |
| fde | zcat[1]: yes it is... libdvdread0 | 02:16 |
| raulh | mmaybe because im on usb headset? | 02:16 |
| usser | whitt, or mount | grep /media | 02:16 |
| zcat[1] | fde: but not libdvdcss2 | 02:16 |
| starcannon | STSX the distro you just installed, did it make a menu.lst as well ? if so the way I do it is grab the menu items from one put them in the other, then run grub-update and life is good | 02:16 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :S | 02:16 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: and yeah ATI, I'd just substitute nvidia for fglrx anyway lol | 02:17 |
| fde | zcat[1]: uhh... libdvdread3 ... libdvdcss is just another lib for the same thing... both work. | 02:17 |
| mavsman4457 | has anyone tried out an HP 2133? | 02:17 |
| liuwei | join #ubuntu-cn | 02:17 |
| zcat[1] | fde: nope... afraid not. | 02:17 |
| kjb | hello everyone | 02:17 |
| whitt | usser, /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 02:17 |
| Kamil | hello | 02:17 |
| fde | zcat[1]: Umm, I've been using it forever... it works. | 02:17 |
| STSX | starcannon: No, I deliberately skipped the "install grub" steps for the distro because I didn't want it changing my MBR--I still want Ubuntu to handle that. | 02:17 |
| starcannon | nod | 02:17 |
| Kamil | I have no sound in Hardy on neither of 2 soundcards besides I had no trouble under Gutsy. Can somebody help me ? | 02:18 |
| zcat[1] | fde: you sure? I've never been able to play region coded dvd's until after I enable medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2 specifically | 02:18 |
| kjb | anyone know presario c700 wireless stuff? | 02:18 |
| raulh | anyone have a solution?, i have usb headsets, and ubuntu shows my sound card(s) but i cannot hear the playback | 02:18 |
| amenado | STSX-> you can install grub at another partitions other than the mbr | 02:18 |
| fde | zcat[1]: regionset | 02:18 |
| Kamil | I can only get sound through System - Preferences - Sound - Test | 02:18 |
| jrib | fde, zcat[1]: there is an example script with libdvdread that build dvdcss | 02:18 |
| Dr_Link | So... when I sudo su to root, how come if I type a single character I exit root and I'm returned to my main user? | 02:18 |
| usser | whitt, cool so do sudo gedit /etc/fstab and add somewhere at the bottom | 02:18 |
| Kamil | and in wine testing alsa :P | 02:19 |
| raulh | dang this sux i still cant hear it thru the sound driver the headset uses! | 02:19 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is wwhat that modprobe ame up with | 02:19 |
| starcannon | Kamil r-click on your mixer (the speaker icon) choose preferences, then choose the device you want it to control, you should be able to turn sound up and down with it that way, works for me on logitech usb headset | 02:19 |
| zcat[1] | fde: Ohhh.. I'd rather not though. A lot of the DVD's I rent aren't the same region .. | 02:19 |
| fde | mcisbackuk: see, I don't know where the xserver-xorg-driver-fglrx package went... so I can't help there, sorry. | 02:19 |
| whitt | usser, adding that line with automount the drive where i don't have to click on it everytime to mount it? That would be great | 02:19 |
| STSX | amenado: I'm confused then; I thought since I all ready have grub installed on my Ubuntu partition, I don't have to have grub installed on my new distro partition--all I need to do is modify my menu.lst to make an option to boot to the new distro partition. Is this not right? | 02:20 |
| mcisbackuk | fde: Neither do I lol | 02:20 |
| fde | zcat[1]: Which is exactly why libdvdcss2 is illegal ;) | 02:20 |
| usser | whitt, /dev/sdb1 /data ext3 uid=<youruid>,gid=<yourgid> 0 0 | 02:20 |
| kjb | <-- newbie needs help with atheros wireless puhleeze | 02:20 |
| usser | whitt, yep it will | 02:20 |
| zcat[1] | fde: In NZ, 'trade restrictions' are illegal.. all our dvd players are region free from the store or have to be sold with the option if becoming so.. | 02:21 |
| amenado | STSX thats correct, have an entry in your menu.lst to point to the newest distro install | 02:21 |
| zcat[1] | *of | 02:21 |
| kjb | <-- newbie needs help with atheros wireless puhleeze | 02:21 |
| usser | whitt, the uid and gid need to be replaced by actual values | 02:21 |
| whitt | usser, gotcha | 02:21 |
| usser | whitt, echo $UID and echo $GROUPS will tell you uid and gid | 02:21 |
| Dr_Link | Anyone know of my problem? | 02:22 |

| STSX | fde, amenado: OK, here's my fdisk and menu.lst output: http://pastebin.com/d5d8aab87 | 02:22 |
| amenado | STSX but make sure also that your newest distro install should still have a boot/grub/device.map | 02:22 |

| zcat[1] | so video stores sometimes have region1 disks and nobody ever expects to have problems playing them | 02:22 |

| thinman1189 | I've been having some trouble with burning a dvd. I torrented just about all of the 8.10 versions and seeded them for some time. Then when I went to burn them, Nero's data verification kept detecting bad sectors. Of 3 tries at burning the i386 dvd image, 2 failed. Do you think I can trust the one that passed? Any advice? | 02:23 |
| usser | whitt, sudo mkdir /data and sudo chown `whoami`:`whoami` /data | 02:23 |
| amenado | STSX-> which is the newest distro install? and also you only fdisk /dev/sda try fdisk -l instead to show all your partitions | 02:23 |
| ray__ | how i get real player working? | 02:23 |
| fde | STSX: you're having it boot from a swap... you likely want (hd0,4) (hda5 looks like the / of pclinuxos) | 02:23 |
| fde | amenado: Way ahead of you, already helping him. | 02:24 |
| Dr_Link | I'm trying to type "ls" as root... here's what I've done. | 02:24 |
| amenado | fde okay..take it away | 02:24 |
| whitt | usser, so far my et/fstab line looks like this: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk/data ext3 uid=<1000>,gid=<1000> 0 0 | 02:24 |
| ray__ | any one see my q | 02:24 |
| Dr_Link | I type: sudo su Computer returns the root prompt. I attempt to type: ls But when I type "l" in "ls" it immediatley invokes "exit" to the root prompt and I"m returned to normal user. Why is this happening? | 02:25 |
| usser | whitt, get rid of /media/disk and also of "<" ">" | 02:25 |
| zcat[1] | Dr_Link: try 'sudo -i' instead ... | 02:25 |
| oreomike | Installed Ubuntu 8.04 last week. In 7 days, have yet reboot. Every time, gnome freezes. Cannot use SysRq to reboot, have to hit power button | 02:25 |
| oreomike | this normal? | 02:25 |
| STSX | fde: Yes, hda5 is the root of the new distro. So I should be using (hd0,4) and not (hd0,2)? Please explain what the 2 and the 4 are if they don't correspond to hda2 or hda4. | 02:25 |
| ray__ | i guess no help for me :( | 02:25 |
| whitt | usser, /dev/sdb1 /data ext3 uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 | 02:26 |
| usser | whitt, yep that would do | 02:26 |
| ray__ | usser if i have web cam and waned to record from a web cam what the best recorder | 02:26 |
| ray__ | on ubuntu | 02:27 |
| oreomike | how do I turn off appearence effects? | 02:27 |
| ray__ | im new so need something easy | 02:27 |
| ray__ | ? | 02:27 |
| joshritger | what is a good app for backup/syncing of directories? | 02:27 |
| NW2190 | Does anyone else have a terribly slow internet connection in Ubuntu after upgrading? | 02:27 |
| fde | STSX: hd0 defines first hard drive (hda within linux) the 2 defines hdx3 as grub starts with 0 and linux starts with 1... so hda3 is (hd0,2) which for fdisk is telling me is swap ... hda5 is an extended linux partition, which is (hd0,4) to grub. | 02:27 |
| fde | STSX: make sense> | 02:27 |
| usser | whitt, and after that do sudo mkdir /data ; sudo chown `whoami`:`whoami` /data | 02:27 |
| fde | ?* | 02:27 |
| oreomike | anyone else have gnome freeze on them in 1 to 5 minutes every time? | 02:27 |
| whitt | usser, with the 'whoami' being my user id correct? | 02:28 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: realplayer is a steampin pile of shit... install the restricted codecs and you can play real media without having to suffer 'real's crapware... | 02:28 |
| ray__ | usser see my q to you? | 02:28 |
| usser | ray__, hm... i never used webcams on linux sorry | 02:28 |
| zcat[1] | !codecs | ray__ | 02:28 |

| usser | whitt, your username | 02:28 |
| oreomike | !freeze | 02:28 |
| ray__ | zcat i did and no sound or video | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Factoid freeze not found | 02:28 |
| gregbrady | I started up a video and it ran in totem by default. It also started in full screen so I selected exit fullscreen. Now the window is positioned such that I cannot get to it's top window title bar to be able to move it around. I cannot also get to the pull down menus. My only way out if to force quit it. How can you get around this? | 02:28 |
| ray__ | it just stoped | 02:28 |
| whitt | usser, ok, done! | 02:28 |
| ray__ | what i do zcat | 02:28 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: hmmm | 02:28 |
| usser | whitt, paste the command u did | 02:28 |
| oreomike | !SysRq | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Factoid sysrq not found | 02:28 |
| ray__ | zcat yes | 02:28 |
| STSX | fde: OK that makes sense. Now what about the "root=/dev/hda5" part--what should that be? If you look at it for my Ubuntu partition it's kinda crazy. | 02:29 |
| ray__ | what eles will play real player stuff | 02:29 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: ok, what's you install exactly? | 02:29 |
| whitt | usser, sudo chown whitt /data | 02:29 |
| ray__ | the one that user modzilla plug in | 02:29 |
| usser | whitt, sudo chown whitt:whitt /data | 02:29 |
| fde | STSX: that should be fine... it isn't actualy necessary at all because your /boot and / is the same partition for PCLinuxOS it looks like. | 02:29 |
| whitt | usser, sorry, thanks | 02:29 |
| usser | whitt, lets verify do ls -al /data somewhere along the lines it should say whitt whitt | 02:30 |
| whitt | usser, done | 02:30 |
| STSX | fde: So do I even need that "root=..." line at all? Why is the Ubuntu one so arcane? | 02:30 |
| ray__ | zcat one from you link | 02:30 |
| chiefinnovator | Hi guys, I just installed hardy, and videos are playing really slow, like 1 frame per second. I had dapper on this computer before and all videos played fine. | 02:30 |
| joshritger | what is a good app to backup/sync directories, I keep backups of my music and on multiple drives and I want a way to backup/sync them to each other | 02:30 |
| whitt | usser, yes it does! | 02:30 |
| fde | STSX: keep it there as it won't do any harm, but I'm fairly sure it isn't needed... | 02:30 |
| lowlux | how do i remove compiz... damn thing is buggy as hell on ubuntu 8.4 | 02:30 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: ahhh.. ok, not sure why it's not working then... | 02:30 |
| usser | whitt, good now do sudo mount -a | 02:31 |
| fde | STSX: Ubuntu uses UUID's because they are more secure. | 02:31 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@MD97600:~$ file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/kbabeldict.desktop; /usr/share/app-install/desktop/kbabeldict.desktop: UTF-8 Unicode text" Where from does gnome-search-tool take the information that this file is of type=Desktop configuration file? | 02:31 |
| ray__ | zcat what eles can i do to get real player format working | 02:31 |
| usser | whitt, after navigate to /data and see if your files are there | 02:31 |
| usser | whitt, try to create something in that folder | 02:31 |
| usser | ray__, install real player but its not recommended | 02:32 |
| zcat[1] | I don't actually play 'real' embedded on websites afaik but it should work with any of the media plugins | 02:32 |
| kjb2 | uhmmmmm,... thaNKS 4 trying the url is not really val;id | 02:32 |
| STSX | fde: OK, I'll give it a try. One last question tho--what is the "ro quiet splash" parameters in the Ubuntu partition lines for? | 02:32 |
| ray__ | usser want something eles | 02:32 |
| ray__ | im new | 02:32 |
| whitt | usser, it worked! | 02:32 |
| usser | whitt, can u create a file or a folder there | 02:32 |
| fde | STSX: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid ... you'll notice they are symlinks to normal devices. | 02:32 |
| whitt | usser, yes | 02:32 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: just hang around here and ask every 5 minutes or so.. somebody will know. | 02:32 |
| usser | whitt, great now on the next restart it should be remounted at boot | 02:33 |
| ray__ | ok zcat can i ask you a other q | 02:33 |
| ray__ | realy quickly | 02:33 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: ask away :) | 02:33 |
| kjb2 | poop | 02:33 |
| fde | STSX: ro means mount read only... although it actually doesn't, so I don't understand... quiet is not telling you all the boot stuff, and splash is the pretty Ubuntu logo on boot :) | 02:33 |
| whitt | usser, that is so awesome, thank you so much! | 02:33 |
| kjb2 | this group is not for newbies, is it ??? | 02:33 |

| zcat[1] | fde: It's readonly on boot, it gets remounted rw after the fsck | 02:34 |

| danhs | help would be appreciated | 02:35 |
| danhs | :) | 02:35 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: vlc can do that I think.. might not be the easiest option though | 02:35 |
| usser | Dr_Link, nothing confusing there, theres 7 modes types of permissions for owner, group and others | 02:35 |
| ray__ | zcat this is from a webcam | 02:36 |
| usser | Dr_Link, so chmod 777 give all permissions to everybody | 02:36 |
| ray__ | loike camcorder | 02:36 |
| ray__ | vlc is only a player | 02:36 |
| usser | Dr_Link, chmod 770 give all permissions to owner and group and no permissions to others | 02:36 |
| zcat[1] | webcam support in Linux is generally pretty bad.. big confusion between v4l and v4l2, chances are your webcam and the software you want to use won't be using the same thing :( | 02:36 |
| usser | Dr_Link, and so on | 02:36 |
| kjb2 | any help with atheros wifi ??? | 02:36 |
| Dr_Link | usser: It's my web server folder. I wanna be able to use gedit as my normal user and save stuff to /var/www | 02:36 |
| ray__ | zcam i have intel cam | 02:36 |
| chiefinnovator | I'm really confused about this video slowness. It worked out right after I installed Hardy, but then when I configred X for twinview it slowed down. Is that possible? | 02:37 |
| svh | hi how do i make ubuntu's desktop act like a apples desktop | 02:37 |
| ray__ | zcat what can i use to record from web cam? | 02:37 |
| ray__ | that ubuntu uses | 02:37 |
| fde | svh: Ubuntu isn't Mac OS X. | 02:37 |
| ray__ | my intel works in ubuntu fine | 02:37 |
| kjb2 | any help with atheros wifi ??? | 02:38 |
| usser | Dr_Link, hm... thats a bit tricky cause if u do chmod or chown it, it'll lower the security of your server | 02:38 |
| fde | svh: You can various themes etc, and there are patches to gtk for the menu bar thing... but it's a lot of work, and things you'll need to look into yourself. | 02:38 |
| ray__ | zcat understand? | 02:38 |
| svh | hi how do i make ubuntu's desk top act like a apple's desktop is there way. | 02:38 |
| whitt | usser, i rebooted, now the data folder is empty | 02:38 |
| fde | !repeat | svh | 02:39 |
| ubottu | svh: 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 | 02:39 |
| Starnestommy | svh: it's impossible to make it work exactly like a mac's desktop | 02:39 |
| Drugon | Hi, I'm using irssi's recode to use iso encoding when talking, but I would like to be able to use it to join channels too. Can someone please explain to me how to do that? | 02:39 |
| Dr_Link | usser: I didn't chmod, I used the GUI, and "others" can only read files, not execute or edit. | 02:39 |
| usser | whitt, hm... open /etc/fstab is your line there | 02:39 |
| ray__ | zcat still here | 02:39 |
| ray__ | ? | 02:40 |
| usser | Dr_Link, i guess it should work did u change the owner from root to yourself? | 02:40 |
| kjb2 | obottu thanks for the url to docs about wireless i read and tried b4 coming into this room | 02:40 |
| jarlath | Can someone tell me how to get a partition icon off the desktop? I mounted it in the home dir in fstab so it shouldn't be there I think. | 02:40 |
| Starnestommy | kjb2: ubottu is a bot | 02:40 |
| kjb2 | i think i dont know enough about linux basics to follow instructions correctly | 02:40 |
| kjb2 | ooops | 02:40 |
| fde | kjb2: I told ubottu to tell you those links... are you getting confused following their instructions? | 02:40 |

| ray__ | usser did you see my q to zcat | 02:40 |

| kjb2 | anything text/command line | 02:41 |
| swiat_ | no | 02:41 |
| kjb2 | sorry | 02:41 |
| Dr_Link | usser: yeah, I changed the owner to "tms" who is my normal user... | 02:41 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: if you can open the webcam in vlc, you can use transcode to save it to a file | 02:41 |
| _A^A_ | hardy heron 64bit rocks!!! | 02:41 |
| sq1usa | i have 6 computers that i was not able to get 8.04 to even install on | 02:41 |
| fde | kjb2: then it's doing to be very difficult to assist you. | 02:41 |
| kjb2 | i seem to have the driver for atheros wifi card installed i think | 02:41 |
| kjb2 | but the ubuntu wont 'hook up' to it | 02:42 |
| usser | ray__, i dunno much about webcams, try kopete or ekiga | 02:42 |
| blkno1 | What would prevent me from hitting 192.168.1.x (my puter) localhost and 127.0.0.1 work, but not the machines actual IP?? | 02:42 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: the other option, go to add/remove and search for webcam recorder .. there's sure to be something :) | 02:42 |
| sq1usa | the one it did install on is very unstable, more problems then i ever had with 7.10 | 02:42 |
| whitt | usser, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, | 02:42 |
| ray__ | zcat want do do it with incoding it with other program along with it | 02:42 |
| usser | whitt, aha | 02:42 |
| kjb2 | poop | 02:42 |

| kjb2 | the big confusion is that i seem to have driver installed correctly when i look at gui | 02:43 |
| Starnestommy | silencedbear: there's a system monitor under system > administration | 02:43 |
| zcat[1] | ray__: ahhh.. xrecordmydesktop or istanbul then, along with whatever webcam app you use, should work? | 02:43 |

| mr_flea | Why does Ubuntu 8.10 default to the ALSA CD input for the volume control when it uses PulseAudio? It practically blew out my eardrums the first time I logged in, and then again the second time because apparently the volume control on the panel was set to the wrong device. | 02:50 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:01 |

| shadowblade | Hello. I'm having problems getting my Dell/Broadcom 1390 wireless working. I had it working initially after upgrading to Hardy following the instruction here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760568 but then about a week ago I installed a bunch of software and gnome wouldn't even load. I ended up fixing that by simply uninstalling all of that software, but after it came back, my wireless didn't work again. I tried | 03:48 |
| shadowblade | repeating the previous instructions and it still doesn't work. Help please :) | 03:48 |
| Joe__ | for some damn reason my toolbars won't appear anymore... which is making things a pain in the ass | 03:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | venalicio: I got lockups when I tried Ubuntu on a system with a 9550. I ended up switching the fglrx drivers off. At this point in time, if you want decent 3D on Linux then nVidia is still the best choice | 03:48 |
| tmapj | emma i couldnt reproduce what you did, in any case, it was incredibly difficult to change the channel the way we set it up | 03:48 |
| Khajavi | emma: what is #c++? I want to write a program with c++ then I can't run it through a firefox with specific port: http://127.0.0.1:5467 | 03:48 |

| Khajavi | fde: thank | 03:49 |
| DrRealHouse | tmapj: you're right, it does not work. Actually, there is a url inside the ASX... http://prog.videorelay.com/wmty35570/live.asx that is working in totem | 03:49 |
| emma | Khajavi, it's a channel that might be more on topic for what you are looking for. | 03:49 |
| venalicio | lsd|Ninja it wouldnt bother me so much but I cant even run an opengl screen saver for more than a few hours with out it locking up | 03:49 |

| m1dn1ght | The messages I get when I attemp to compile the driver are here: http://pastebin.com/m8f97ead Would this indicate the problem is at the compiling stage? | 03:51 |
| DrRealHouse | tmapj: When you try to play one of the video, right-clic on the "TV" and select "Open with Video player" (something like that) Totem will open saying that this is a text file | 03:51 |
| DanaG | Can anybody think of any great usage cases for putting two WiFi cards (both would be Intel -- one 3945 and one 4965) in the same system? | 03:51 |

| Jon855 | I seem to not be able to run my mkv files using totems even though I've installed the plug ins, any suggestions? | 03:51 |
| harris | if I download a package in package manager, is the packge is already installed?(in my computer?) | 03:52 |
| emma | DanaG, probably more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:52 |
| sFEARs | DanaG, if they're able to be duplexed you can gain bandwidth | 03:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | venalicio: Back when I had my 9500 Pro (on Gentoo) there was one screensaver that always managed to lock the drivers up. I forget what it was, but disabling it worked a treat.

| Joe__ | since no one is answering in the nvidia channel... anyone know if 169.12 is the correct upgrade from 169.07? | 03:53 |
| mneptok | dabbill: yeah, looks fine. stop relying on /dev entries. or use /dev/disk/by-uuid | 03:53 |
| kindofabuzz | harris: unless you have it set to download source only | 03:53 |
| thiebaude | harris:if you hit apply | 03:53 |
| emma | harris - you can tell by looking at the check mark in synaptic, if it already installed there is an option for 'mark for reinstall' | 03:53 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, a more on-topic question: how would I go about creating an access point (or an ad-hoc network) with an iwl3945 card? | 03:53 |

| Jon855 | I seem to not be able to run my mkv files using totems even though I've installed the plug ins, any suggestions? | 03:54 |

| kindofabuzz | WIDESPREADpanic: i sent one, you have to be registered to recieve and send pm's | 04:02 |

| chavo_in | hola | 04:03 |
| XiD` | saandro: i suppose so. when i originally installed Ubuntu, grub gave me an error 22, so i loaded my XP CD > went into REcovery console > typed "fixmbr" then "fixboot" as I was told to to fix the error22 | 04:03 |
| naxa | I mean how can I find out what eats my system resources up and disable everything unneeded? | 04:03 |

| saandro | emma: yes actually | 04:05 |
| emma | saandro, to me it sounds like your nautilus is what's hanging. | 04:05 |
| usser | XiD`, or you can try to restore grub if your bios dont support it | 04:05 |

| usser | Joe__, heh it worked i assume | 04:44 |
| nas | keylogger | 04:44 |
| devis | its shows that theres a connection but i cant use IE | 04:44 |
| emma | saandro, could you paste that nautlius error again please? | 04:44 |
| devis | it worked fine on 1.5.6 | 04:44 |
| drivetrax | devis, - I know VMware will run XP..dunno if it will actually let XP dial-out, or use NDiswrapper | 04:44 |
| harriseldon | jtaylor13: boot splash screens are handled through usplash. Look online for tutorials. As for corner effect, it is part of compiz-fusion (Desktop Effects) You have to configure the specific effects you want. | 04:44 |
| Joe__ | usser: Sure did... now to figure out why my CPU says it's at 93%.. and where the hell my other core went | 04:45 |
| Nissan_350Z | Hey i need help please :) | 04:45 |
| Nissan_350Z | I cant login to Ubuntu | 04:45 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: what happens when you try to log in? | 04:45 |
| drivetrax | what do you see Nissan_350Z | 04:45 |
| usser | Joe__, kill firefox | 04:45 |
| Joe__ | pdftotext again... ok, why do I need it and why is it running for no particular reason? | 04:45 |
| emma | usser - I think it is firefox-bin | 04:45 |
| devis | i want to use Live messenger. I heard it wont work on wine. | 04:45 |
| Nissan_350Z | okay i see this: Nissan Login: *and i put this in* cody | 04:46 |
| jtaylor13 | group:i have a sprint ex-720 wireless card.How can i run it in ubuntu? | 04:46 |
| Nissan_350Z | then i see | 04:46 |
| drivetrax | devis, check all your XP connect settings all over again, and ports | 04:46 |
| Nissan_350Z | Password: but it wont let me type one.. | 04:46 |
| Slayeth | Can someone help me change the screen resolution, the highest it will let me go is 800x600 and I would like a bigger size, attempts at using google to fix the problem have failed. | 04:46 |
| usser | Joe__, my bad killall -9 firefox-bin would be the exact command | 04:46 |
| usser | emma, yes you're right | 04:46 |
| Nissan_350Z | then when i push enter irt says Incorrect Login | 04:46 |
| Joe__ | usser: fx is running the pdftotext? That's what top is saying is eating all the CPU | 04:46 |
| devis | i use a wireless router. Could that be the problem? | 04:46 |
| emma | usser - now there is something I don't hear every day! :P | 04:46 |
| LSD|Ninja | drivetrax: You don't really need the capability for VMWare to dial-out. The host OS would have some kind of internet connectin you tell VMWare to NAT thriugh. | 04:46 |
| lgc | harriseldon, I've been through the logs and nothing catches my attention. | 04:47 |
| Nissan_350Z | any ideas? | 04:47 |
| drivetrax | LSD|Ninja, virtualBox | 04:47 |
| usser | Joe__, pdftotext what is that? did u run it? | 04:47 |
| drivetrax | and.. i do not know either | 04:47 |
| usser | emma, yes me neither :) | 04:47 |
| LSD|Ninja | drivetrax: I'd imagine vBox would have a similar array of networking options to VMWare so the same applies | 04:47 |
| Joe__ | usser: I didn't... but tracked did.. which is the indexer, guess it had to reindex everything since teh upgrade | 04:47 |
| harriseldon | sorry lgc, I use fast user switching and I have not had any problems. Hopefully someone else was following the chat and may be able to help. | 04:47 |
| Nissan_350Z | I cant login to Ubuntu | 04:48 |
| hacim | how do I get amarok to launch instead of rhythmbox for an ipod insert? | 04:48 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z is is the graphical login or terminal login? | 04:48 |
| devis | i like ubuntu but i wish there was a video chat program | 04:48 |
| eboyjr | What command will list the partitions on the system? | 04:48 |
| drivetrax | LSD|Ninja, my same assumption.. and reason I said to recheck | 04:48 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: are you typing the right password? | 04:48 |
| hacim | harriseldon: thanks!! | 04:48 |
| saandro | eboyjr: sufo fdisk -l | 04:48 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z terminal logins do not show the password while you type. | 04:48 |
| Joe__ | another question, System Monitor under Gutsy showed both cores, now it shows one and under the System tab states it's a dual core... that normal/correct behaviour? | 04:48 |
| saandro | sudo* | 04:48 |
| emma | hacim - This seems like more of a question for an Amarok or ipod channel. This channel is for Ubuntu support. | 04:48 |
| Nissan_350Z | it wont let me enter a password | 04:48 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: it won't show it, but you can still enter it | 04:48 |
| Nissan_350Z | and when i push enter it says Incorrect Login | 04:48 |
| hacim | emma: it used to be something you configured in ubuntu | 04:49 |
| hacim | emma: but that option went away | 04:49 |
| lgc | harriseldon, what's the difference with fast user switching and the other method? | 04:49 |
| jamesgc | Hello. Anyone have ubuntu os in xen domU? | 04:49 |

| Virtue | any ideas if this can be overcome somehow or fixed ? | 04:49 |
| lgc | I lock my screen and then the other user logs in. | 04:49 |
| hacim | harriseldon: still launches rhythmbox :( | 04:49 |
| Slayeth | Can someone help me change the screen resolution, the highest it will let me go is 800x600 and I would like a bigger size, attempts at using google to fix the problem have failed. | 04:49 |
| harriseldon | eboyjr fdisk -l | 04:50 |
| eboyjr | thanks | 04:50 |
| ian_liu88 | My Hardy installation is stuking in "Scanning the mirror..." ... Any solution? | 04:50 |
| usser | Joe__, hm this process doesnt make any sense anyway, i'd say kill it | 04:50 |
| Nissan_350Z | can i Pm someone for help with this | 04:50 |
| Nissan_350Z | i logged in | 04:50 |
| saandro | emma: Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bono-activation-server and restarting Nautliys my help fix the problem | 04:50 |
| Nissan_350Z | but it still shows the text screen? | 04:50 |
| harriseldon | lgc that uses fast user switching | 04:50 |
| saandro | emma: but isn't it weird that I see artifacts at the logon screen? | 04:50 |
| emma | saandro did you kill bonobo-activation-server ? | 04:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | Slayeth: There used to be an applet in Gutsy that gave you more control over resolution and refresh rates but it seems to have been left on the cutting room floor in Hardy :( | 04:50 |
| patifa | LSD|Ninja: "Screens and Graphics"? | 04:51 |
| Joe__ | usser: I remember seeing it when I moved to Gutsy, if I remember correctly trackerd(the desktop search/indexing thingy) uses it to open all my ebooks(25G worth) and read them as text for indexing purposes | 04:51 |
| Nissan_350Z | I want to get off of the text screen and onto the System, like where the programs are.. | 04:51 |
| saandro | emma: never had a chance but I can give it a shot... | 04:51 |
| usser | Joe__, oh, yea that makes sense | 04:51 |
| lgc | harriseldon, so I'm user 'fast user switching'? | 04:51 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 04:51 |
| harriseldon | lgc that is correct | 04:52 |
| ian_liu88 | What "Scanning the mirror" in the ubuntu installation means? Is it trying to read repos? | 04:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | patifa: Something like that. It was in teh Administration section of the System menu. The one that was (and still is) in the Preferences section was useless. | 04:52 |
| macgiver | hola | 04:52 |
| patifa | http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1237/1315705436_4cc96e87ae.jpg?v=0 | 04:52 |
| AZULA | HOLA | 04:52 |
| Starnestommy | ian_liu88: I think that's what it's doing | 04:52 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z is this a new install? Has the graphical login ever come up? | 04:52 |
| Nissan_350Z | <Starnestommy Gutsy Gibbon | 04:52 |
| patifa | LSD|Ninja tell me if that link I just posted is it | 04:52 |
| Joe__ | usser: But is it correct for the System Monitor to only display one CPU usage graph on a dual core? Gutsy showed two, one for each core | 04:52 |
| Slayeth | I think I know what the problem is but not how to fix it, the default monitor on my laptop isn't functional and I have to use a desktop one, and the xorg file is showing everything as default. I searched google and tried to edit the xorg and add higher resolutions, but doing so made the GUI unbootable. | 04:52 |
| Virtue | any idea how can this be fixed or fooled ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11060/ | 04:52 |
| ian_liu88 | So, is repos working now? Cause it is stuck;;; | 04:52 |
| Nissan_350Z | <harriseldon> theres no graphics | 04:52 |
| patifa | LSD|Ninja: or this http://tombuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/displayconfig-gtk.jpg | 04:52 |
| Nissan_350Z | <harriseldon> its just text | 04:52 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: what happens when you type Ctrl+Alt+F7 ? | 04:52 |
| Nissan_350Z | idk | 04:53 |
| Nissan_350Z | let me go check | 04:53 |
| LSD|Ninja | patifa: they're both the same... That looks it it hough | 04:53 |
| Starnestommy | er, press, not type | 04:53 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z what happens if you sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart from the command line (you will have to enter your password again) | 04:53 |
| usser | Joe__, do cat /proc/cpuinfo see how many cores are there? | 04:53 |
| lgc | Oh, whatever! I think I'm going to switch to Hardy any time now. Any warning to this respect. | 04:53 |
| emma | saandro, do you have a file called mono-1.9 in your home directory? | 04:53 |
| ian_liu88 | gosh... | 04:53 |
| hieppo | anyone using ati drivers using both hdmi and dvi outputs | 04:53 |

| ian_liu88 | WOAH, here we go | 04:54 |
| ian_liu88 | installing ! | 04:54 |
| cyber-geisha | Hey all | 04:54 |
| ian_liu88 | YAY! | 04:54 |
| harriseldon | lgc fast user switching seems to work better for me (it uses the ConsoleKit package for doing it. It is probably a newer version in Hardy) | 04:54 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: is this the desktop or server version of ubuntu? | 04:54 |
| hieppo | anyone?? amd690 chipset? | 04:54 |
| Nissan_350Z | Desktop so i thought | 04:54 |
| usser | Joe__, is it a 64 bit cpu? | 04:54 |
| kneeki | Hello all! | 04:54 |
| usser | Joe__, do you use 64 bit ubuntu? | 04:54 |

| Tor_Erik_Paulsen | g | 04:54 |

| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" without the quotes | 04:55 |
| cyber-geisha | hey kneeki | 04:55 |
| Joe__ | usser: installed 32bit, just did a distro upgrade over my Gutsy install | 04:55 |
| thiebaude | hi kneeki | 04:55 |
| lgc | harriseldon, any other noteworthy new thing? | 04:55 |
| hieppo | need some guidance to get me to enable HDMI output | 04:55 |
| cyber-geisha | Anybody else having trouble with animation flickering on ati radeon xpress cards? | 04:55 |
| usser | Joe__, gutsy had two cores? | 04:55 |
| harriseldon | lgc, the new firefox, plus updated apps. Nothing mind blowing for me. It depends on what you use. | 04:56 |
| Joe__ | usser: yes | 04:56 |
| ian_liu88 | I think my internet was giving time outs.. so ubuntu couldn't read repos.. | 04:56 |
| macgiver | hola a todos | 04:56 |

| XiD` | lol cwolfe | 04:58 |
| patifa | LSD|Ninja: Right click the applications menu in GNOME and edit it. You'll find screens and graphics somewhere in there, I think under "Other" | 04:58 |
| kneeki | Matt0811: CTRL + ALT + Left/Right aarow | 04:58 |
| lgc | harriseldon, according to Gmail, it's not supposed to work with Firefox 3. Is that your personal experience? | 04:58 |
| Matt0811 | ty | 04:58 |
| usser | Joe__, this might concern you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554890 | 04:58 |
| LSD|Ninja | patifa: yeah, but the fact it was dropped with no decent replacement still irks | 04:59 |
| patifa | LSD|Ninja: Make sure you use the Test option, do not use "OK". There's little recovery from a really bad resolution/driver/refresh rate if you don't use the test feature. | 04:59 |
| harriseldon | lgc I primarily use google reader in firefox and that works great. | 04:59 |
| Nissan_350Z | harriseldon: /etc/init.d/gdm start Command not found. | 04:59 |
| lgc | harriseldon, Google Docs? | 04:59 |
| cyber-geisha | Can anyone help me with the problem i have with my graphics | 04:59 |
| Slayeth | No matter what resolution I select hitting test gives me an error | 04:59 |
| devis | is there any open source drivers fo r toshiba satellite laptops? | 04:59 |
| Slayeth | Even for the current resolution and settings | 04:59 |
| harriseldon | lgc, no it is an rss feed aggregator | 04:59 |
| cyber-geisha | my screensavers seem to flicker and run slow as all hell | 04:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | devis: what drivers are you looking for in particular? | 05:00 |
| cyber-geisha | is there a workaround to fix that? | 05:00 |
| LSD|Ninja | cyber-geisha: nVidia :P | 05:00 |
| devis | atheros wireless driver | 05:00 |
| cyber-geisha | :( | 05:00 |
| lgc | harriseldon, no, I was asking if you use Google Docs. | 05:00 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z you may have installed the server version which does not come with a graphical interface. | 05:00 |
| devis | and realtek audio drivers | 05:00 |
| harriseldon | lgc I do not use Google Docs | 05:00 |
| Nissan_350Z | oh no | 05:00 |
| Nissan_350Z | what do i do now?! | 05:00 |
| Nissan_350Z | lol | 05:00 |
| LSD|Ninja | devis: you should be covered on both counts | 05:00 |
| smooth1 | hi | 05:00 |
| Starnestommy | Nissan_350Z: it might be possible that you accidentally installed the server version | 05:00 |
| dessnr | can somebody please let me know what the program, on the right side of this picture is called? it's the one with CPU info and such. i'd love to download it, but knowing the name would be handy for the search. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black | 05:00 |
| Nissan_350Z | <Starnestommy> Nissan_350Z: it might be possible that you accidentally installed the server version if it elps i uses the alternate installer.. | 05:01 |
| Joe__ | usser: hmm, that sounds like it... where is menu.lst stored? | 05:01 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z you can install ubuntu-desktop, but that will still leave the server packages and server performance settings. If it is a new install, just re-install. | 05:01 |
| devis | the only problem is i get no sound on my headphones | 05:01 |
| lgc | harriseldon, I do, and it doesn't work with my Opera, so I'm stuck with snailslow Firefox. | 05:01 |
| usser | Joe__, /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:01 |
| usser | Joe__, make a backup of it before changing | 05:01 |
| Nissan_350Z | harriseldon how dould i do that? | 05:01 |
| harriseldon | lgc have you tried the fasterfox extension? I have not noticed speed problems | 05:02 |
| cyber-geisha | Well i am out for night cya | 05:02 |
| arooni__ | help! i've got a craigslist hottie i just met who wants to talk via IM + Cam... i have pidgin... but it doesnt seem to support IM chat? what to do? oh noes! | 05:02 |
| LSD|Ninja | devis: you probably have to tell the intel-hda driver what to expect, I can't help with that as I haven't installed Ubuntu on anything with HDA integrated sound | 05:02 |
| devis | also the speakers are very quite. I can barely hear them even though the volume is on high | 05:02 |
| lgc | harriseldon, I use it all the time, with no noticeable improvement. Ever tried Opera? | 05:02 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z you will have to download the correct live cd and reinstall. To install the graphical part from the server type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" without the quotes | 05:02 |
| dessnr | harriseldon: where can i get the fasterfox extension. is that something that makes firefox run faster? | 05:02 |
| amirman84 | hello | 05:03 |
| dessnr | lgc: is there a version of opera for ubuntu? | 05:03 |
| LSD|Ninja | devis: yes | 05:03 |
| LSD|Ninja | dessnr I meant, damn completion | 05:03 |
| harriseldon | dessnr it adds many tweaks that you could do manually. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269 | 05:03 |
| dessnr | LSD|Ninja: thanks | 05:03 |
| IntangibleLiquid | dessnr, no, it's to help firefox load faster, but ppl say it's evil because it costs a lot of bandwidth on the host's side | 05:03 |
| harriseldon | lgc I used Opera when it first came many many eons ago. lol | 05:04 |
| Joe__ | usser: Seems they suggest trying to add acpi=off in menu.lst any idea where in menu.lst it should go? | 05:04 |
| lgc | dessnr, of course! Right in the repos. | 05:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | dessnr: it's on their site and it's in one of the Ubuntu repos too | 05:04 |
| Nissan_350Z | okay ERR, thank you harriseldon | 05:04 |
| fde | harriseldon: yes | 05:04 |
| patifa | dessnr: Yeah, burns tons of bandwidth away uselessly preloading every link on every page. | 05:04 |
| amirman84 | i'm experiencing technical difficulties, i closed firefox and now when i try to open it, it says another instance is already running, but really it's not, i just restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace and it's still doing it, how can i kill or forcequit firefox? | 05:04 |
| dessnr | lgc: nice! | 05:04 |
| josemp76 | monkey dick and balls | 05:04 |
| patifa | amirman84: use System Monitor | 05:04 |
| emma | saandro, any luck? | 05:04 |
| usser | Joe__, at the very bottom where it says #End Default Options | 05:04 |
| amirman84 | patifa: thanks | 05:04 |
| dessnr | patifa: IntangibleLiquid, harriseldon, thanks heaps. | 05:04 |
| josemp76 | monkey dick and balls | 05:04 |
| fde | harriseldon: ahh, I thought dessnr was typo for doesn't... hah | 05:05 |
| usser | Joe__, theres a line that goes kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-17-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root ro quiet splash vga=792 | 05:05 |
| usser | Joe__, something like this add acpi=off to the end of it | 05:05 |
| josemp76 | monkey dick and balls | 05:05 |
| smooth1 | i have a shared fold on my ubunt box, that i "could" see from my windows box. but now it won't find the ubuntu computer any suggestions | 05:05 |
| lgc | harriseldon, It's gotten better. Only it's sort of unwieldy sometimes. And it has trouble rendering Flash stuff. Other than that, it has no match. | 05:05 |
| amirman84 | patifa: that was easy, thanks | 05:05 |
| Slayeth | Still unable to change my resolution, I receive an error when I test any setting. | 05:05 |
| Joe__ | usser: See it, I'll try that, thanks | 05:05 |
| josemp76 | monkey dick and balls | 05:05 |
| josemp76 | monkey dick and balls | 05:05 |
| dessnr | can somebody please take a look at this picture and tell what app is on the right hand side is? the app with CPU time and such. I don't know what to search for in the repos to download it. | 05:06 |
| usser | Joe__, there's a couple entries there most likely that has this line just add to the first one | 05:06 |
| dessnr | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black | 05:06 |
| josemp76 | monkey dick and balls | 05:06 |
| patifa | dessnr: that's an interesitng gnome layout | 05:06 |
| dabbill | mneptok, you still around? | 05:06 |
| patifa | dessnr: Probably gdesklets or screenlets, but that's a guess. | 05:06 |
| dessnr | patifa: Yeah I have copied the layout with the theme, but i just don't have the app on the right. | 05:07 |
| Joe__ | is it just me, or is FX 3 painfully slower than 2... | 05:07 |
| harriseldon | dessnr is that gkrellm? | 05:07 |
| usser | Joe__, sure as hell buggier | 05:07 |
| dessnr | patifa: ok I will try those | 05:07 |
| jatket | I am a new user and I am converted! | 05:07 |
| dessnr | harriseldon: i don't know... | 05:07 |
| Joe__ | grumble, and my two favourite extentions don't work with it | 05:07 |
| usser | jatket, have a cookie | 05:08 |
| Nissan_350Z | harriseldon: can i cancel the download? | 05:08 |
| harriseldon | dessnr you can ask the author of the post. They are usually very good | 05:08 |
| usser | :P | 05:08 |
| jatket | thanks | 05:08 |
| harriseldon | Nissan_350Z ctrl-C will cancel the current command | 05:08 |
| patifa | dessnr: it might be gkrellm, but gkrellm is a lot smaller... | 05:08 |
| Nissan_350Z | k | 05:08 |
| Nissan_350Z | thank you | 05:08 |
| Nissan_350Z | lol | 05:08 |
| dessnr | harriseldon: ok | 05:08 |
| dessnr | patifa: i will have a look for those now and get back you and harriseldon... thanks for the information. | 05:09 |
| Joe__ | oh I hate life without my tabmix plus extention | 05:09 |
| jatket | bye fer now | 05:09 |
| patifa | dessnr: oh, and can you tell me how you got the theme in the picture you posted? | 05:09 |
| _Net | I need some quick help please. | 05:10 |
| _Net | I closed firefox using the ps x from terminal | 05:10 |
| _Net | and now when I run it it shwos up and says its loading then closes | 05:10 |
| dessnr | patifa: yes indeed, i will give you the link where i got it with full instructions. follow the command prompts that are noted on the page so that it installs properly. | 05:10 |
| IntangibleLiquid | dessnr, yeah, the theme looks cool | 05:10 |
| Marfi | im looking for some software for editing / creating audio. I have used acid, and would like something as powerful, if not more. I like how it interacts with loops, but i want to stem off to actual mixing. any recomendations? | 05:10 |
| === mactimes is now known as Ensinando | ||
| harriseldon | dessnr the post at gnome-look mention conky (via conkeyrc) | 05:11 |
| emma | _Net, does it give any other information such as saying that an instance of Firefox is already running? | 05:11 |
| === Ensinando is now known as mactimes | ||
| Joe__ | ok, pray with me... going to reboot and see if this gets me my second core back... and hopefully without turning my 4 monitors into two mirrors and 2 black screens | 05:11 |
| dessnr | patifa and IntangibleLiquid, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 | 05:11 |
| harriseldon | dessnr the side bar may be through conky | 05:11 |
| emma | _Net, try opening a terminal and typing killall firefox-bin and then try opening Firefox again. | 05:11 |
| _Net | Ok. | 05:11 |
| dessnr | harriseldon: thats what the app is called harriseldon? i seen that but didn't know what it meant. | 05:11 |
| _Net | No process killed | 05:11 |
| _Net | it says "Starting Firefox web" | 05:12 |
| _Net | and then it dissapears | 05:12 |
| emma | hm. | 05:12 |
| _Net | Actually I thinksomething is wrong with my ubuntu | 05:12 |
| harriseldon | dessnr yes that is the app. If you ever listened to Linux Reality, the host, Chess Griffin, was a big proponent of Conky | 05:12 |
| _Net | When I go to Applications -> Take screenshot it opens a dialog but nothing in it | 05:12 |
| _Net | or if I go to anything else | 05:12 |
| _Net | it opens a dialog but blank | 05:12 |
| _Net | Some work though, like character map, pidgin, | 05:12 |
| emma | Have you tried restarting? | 05:12 |
| patifa | _Net: Restart your GUI. Close/Save whatever you care about, THEN Ctrl+Alt+Backspace | 05:12 |
| harriseldon | _Net you can use the print screen button on the keyboard. That will take a screenshot and open the app | 05:12 |
| dessnr | harriseldon: gotcha! thanks for the info. also, what is metacity? | 05:13 |
| harriseldon | dessnr metacity is the window manager (draws window borders) | 05:13 |
| lgc | harriseldon, I'm upgrading now. Wish me good luck... | 05:13 |
| dessnr | harriseldon: ahhh, thanks again. | 05:13 |
| harriseldon | lgc good luck! :-) | 05:13 |
| hacim | does anyone know how to change preferred applications in nautilus? | 05:13 |
| patifa | Yeah except compiz and metacity conflict. | 05:13 |
| harriseldon | patifa do you mean emerald and metacity? I run compiz with metacity just fine. | 05:14 |
| dessnr | patifa: i noticed compiz had some problems. some graphic glitches and i seemed to get a few crashes while running it. | 05:14 |
| lgc | harriseldon, thanks. I always cross my fingers so I don't end up with an up-to-date and frozen computer. | 05:14 |
| harriseldon | lgc my upgrade went smoothly | 05:15 |
| emma | hacim - such as a preference application for launching a certain kind of file? | 05:15 |
| Joe__ | usser: No luck there... and gave me some error that scrolled by too fast | 05:15 |
| === soldats_ is now known as soldats | ||
| dessnr | harriseldon: since i have installed feisty, i have had smooth upgrades to gutsy and then hardy all along. i couldn't ever do that with windows.... ubuntu truly is a blessing. | 05:16 |
| hacim | emma: in nautilus preferences, there is a media tab, where you can choose what to do, but i'm only given the choice of rhythmbox, I cannot change it to anything else | 05:16 |
| usser | Joe__, hm... well i really am lost looks like its one of those rare bugs that no one can quite point a finger at | 05:16 |
| emma | hacim -- try right clicking on the type of file you want to set a preferred application to open it with, and then select 'open with' | 05:16 |
| Marfi | im looking for some software for editing / creating audio. I have used acid, and would like something as powerful, if not more. I like how it interacts with loops, but i want to stem off to actual mixing. any recomendations? | 05:16 |
| devis | how can i get compiz-fusion on my ubuntu 8.04? | 05:16 |
| lgc | harriseldon, mine usually did, till Edgy, if I recall right. When some smart guy decided to use RAID stuff in the default install. | 05:16 |
| emma | !info compiz-fusion | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Package compiz-fusion does not exist in hardy | 05:16 |
| groken | i'm running ubuntu 7.10 server edition, shouldn't sudo apt-get dist-upgrade show a lot of updates since 8.04 is out? it shows that i need none | 05:16 |
| hacim | emma: the problem is... its not a file I want to change the application launch behavior of, its when a device is plugged in | 05:16 |
| koshari | marfu you tried audacity | 05:17 |
| harriseldon | hacim did you see this blog post? http://adean.blogspot.com/2008/04/even-more-ubuntu-804-remarks.html | 05:17 |
| koshari | devis you just need to install the advanced compiz menu | 05:17 |
| emma | devis, try sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome | 05:17 |
| calebH | hacim, try gnome-default-applications-properties | 05:18 |
| Marfi | devis, it comes installed | 05:18 |
| dessnr | harriseldon, i did a sudo apt-get install conky and it's installing it now... will let you know if that was the app we are discussing. | 05:18 |
| hacim | harriseldon: thats exactly my problem | 05:18 |
| calebH | hacim, if you want more choices besides rhythmbox, you'll have to install some alternative players | 05:18 |
| koshari | devis advanced desktop effects settings if you want additional effects like cube ect | 05:19 |
| Virtue | anyone knows how to install cursors ? I have package, but doesn't go no matter I do... | 05:19 |
| hacim | calebH: yeah, I did that, but that didn't work :( | 05:19 |
| hacim | calebH: I have amarok installed... | 05:19 |
| calebH | hacim, on my system I have the choice of banshee, rythmbox, totem, or custom (where you can type in a command) | 05:19 |
| emma | devis, you can also try /join #compiz-fusion for questions about compiz-fusion | 05:19 |
| smooth1 | anyone know why all my GL games say cant open shared object libXx86dga.so.1? | 05:19 |
| hacim | calebH: I changed mine to custom and typed amarok in the box | 05:19 |
| Joe__ | hmm... hopefully some update will fix this... | 05:20 |
| jim_beam | When I restart or shutdown I see the shutdown process and there is a network and libhal error anyone know what this is | 05:20 |
| Virtue | anyone knows how to install cursors ? I have package, but doesn't go no matter I do... | 05:20 |
| hacim | calebH: but I am pretty sure its a nautilus config | 05:20 |
| jim_beam | or where to find the error log | 05:20 |
| calebH | hmmm | 05:20 |
| calebH | weird | 05:20 |
| Joe__ | next issue... I can't remember how to set my hotkeys, seems they all got lost in the ugprade too(like I used to be able to hit my play/pause button to... play/pause music) | 05:20 |
| hacim | calebH: because if I go to Places->Home->edit->Preferences->Media | 05:20 |
| ackbahr | Hi there! I've got sound control issues.... Could someone help? | 05:20 |
| calebH | hacim, what type of files do you want to auto-open in amarok? | 05:21 |
| dessnr | patifa: i don't think it's conky, although conky does have some neat features, but it lacks a nice interface. it's just a text inerface. | 05:21 |
| hacim | calebH: I only have rhythmbox as an option... if I disable it altogether, on insert of the device it asks me what to do | 05:21 |
| Joe__ | strangely, seems that's the ONLY hotkey not workng... | 05:21 |
| hacim | calebH: on insert of an ipod | 05:21 |
| ross_cav | probably a very simple question, how do I find out where and what was installed from a deb package. I installed acroread, but need to add the asian font pack and I need to check where it's actually installed to. | 05:21 |
| calebH | ah | 05:21 |
| calebH | hacim, hang on | 05:21 |
| hacim | calebH: hanging on! | 05:21 |
| Starnestommy | ross_cav: dpkg -L acroread | 05:21 |
| ross_cav | thx | 05:21 |
| usser | ross_cav, or in the terminal whereis acroread | 05:22 |
| smooth1 | anyone know why all my GL games say cant open shared object libXx86dga.so.1? i have the file installed | 05:22 |
| calebH | hacim, shoot - I thought gnome-volume-properties might have mp3 players listed that would control that behavior but it's not there | 05:23 |

| Zombine | Anyone know what the gnome indexing service is called? | 05:24 |
| Joe__ | Zombine: trackerd | 05:24 |
| zcat[1] | tracker ? | 05:24 |
| Hannz | Zombine: tracker | 05:24 |
| Joe__ | with a d at the end | 05:25 |
| Zombine | Ah. Thanks :D | 05:25 |
| calebH | Zombine, "trackerd" | 05:25 |
| hacim | calebH: yeah, i am pretty sure its in nautilus somewhere, but I dont see how you can configure other applications | 05:25 |
| calebH | hacim, have you tried to edit it in gconf-editor ? | 05:25 |
| calebH | is it somewhere in there? | 05:25 |
| ross_cav | usser, whereis command I tried before, but that only gives me the following acroread: /usr/bin/acroread /usr/share/man/man1/acroread.1.gz | 05:26 |
| Joe__ | ah crap... | 05:26 |
| Joe__ | now wine doesn't want to work... seriously... Hardy hates me | 05:26 |
| ross_cav | but the other command worked a charm, /usr/lib/Adobe/.... | 05:26 |
| hacim | calebH: i haven't found anything in there for it, but maybe I missed it | 05:26 |
| usser | ross_cav, oh right just tried it, yea the other one is better | 05:26 |
| ross_cav | usser, thx for the help though. Asian language pack is up and running... now I just have to learn to read Japanese :D | 05:27 |
| Joe__ | EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so That's bad.. how do I fix it? | 05:27 |
| smooth1 | if anyone has a minute or so | 05:27 |
| smooth1 | anyone know why all my GL games say cant open shared object libXx86dga.so.1? i have the file installed | 05:27 |
| secret901 | vlc and some other video player that uses sound keeps freezing the computer whenever I try to play a file | 05:28 |
| crdlb | Joe__: what video card? | 05:28 |
| CaptainMorgan | can we expect the LAMP instructions to be updated soon? how different would they be from their current print edition? ex: if I were to attempt it now, would it blow up my system - running Hardy? | 05:28 |
| usser | ross_cav, haha | 05:28 |
| Starnestommy | smooth1: you might need to run sudo ldconfig | 05:28 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: GeForce 6800 and Qaudro NVS280 PCI | 05:28 |
| calebH | hacim, sorry man. I don't have an iPod and I don't use amarok so I'm out of suggestions. Good Luck! | 05:28 |

| secret901 | does anyone know how I can revert back to the older sound management system instead of puseaudio? | 05:28 |
| Flannel | CaptainMorgan: follow the instructions on the wiki page | 05:29 |
| CaptainMorgan | usser, I already did that- why do you think I asked? | 05:29 |
| crdlb | Joe__: reinstall xserver-xorg-core, then your nvidia driver package (nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-ew) | 05:29 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, they're for 7.10 and earlier | 05:29 |
| crdlb | nvidia-glx-new* | 05:29 |
| patifa | secret901: I changed all the options in Preferencs > Sound to ASLA. The horrors of Pulseaudio don't seem to affect me anymore. | 05:29 |
| smooth1 | tried that sir, i installed the libxx86 package, and am using the drivers for my ati still no go | 05:29 |
| IntangibleLiquid | hi guys, I'm trying SCIM to type vietnamese, how do I activate it? | 05:29 |
| usser | CaptainMorgan, no i just wanted to look at them see how recent they are | 05:29 |
| dessnr | patifa: it is conky, harriseldon was right, cause i looked at the first posts and someone asked about the side bar. the reply was that it was conky, by the author as harriseldon has said. the text in conky is so small though so I will have to work out a way to get it bigger. | 05:30 |
| secret901 | patifa: I did set everything to alsa | 05:30 |
| Konam | man, after the last update I lost my sound, it isn't working anymore. When I go to preferences>sound and test it I get this "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" | 05:30 |
| CaptainMorgan | usser, fine, but you could've scrolled up- it wasn't too long ago | 05:30 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: do you use viqr, telex, or vni? | 05:30 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, I use VNI pal | 05:31 |
| Konam | patifa secret901 are you going through the same that I am? | 05:31 |
| CaptainMorgan | Flannel, your statement doesn't answer my question | 05:31 |
| TheMaverick` | Conky isn't too difficult to script | 05:31 |
| secret901 | Konam: what are you going through? | 05:31 |
| CaptainMorgan | fyi | 05:31 |
| tmapj | anyone whats the command for dc? | 05:31 |
| patifa | Konam: not anymore. Sound works fine. I'm not messing with it. | 05:31 |
| usser | CaptainMorgan, guide looks a bit dated i setup mine using this http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server | 05:31 |
| Konam | secret901 no sound and getting a weird error | 05:31 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: it seems that scim uses viqr by default, but I thought the latest version changed it to telex | 05:32 |
| tmapj | direct chat | 05:32 |
| Konam | patifa but you didn't have sound right? how did you solved it? | 05:32 |
| emma | Good night everyone. | 05:32 |
| patifa | Konam: Set all my sound options to asla | 05:32 |
| TheMaverick` | night emma | 05:32 |
| secret901 | Konam: I had that problem when I installed the beta, but resolved it by rebuilding the kernel | 05:32 |
| dessnr | TheMaverick`: scripting will come later for me, as at the moment, i am just trying to work out how to get conky's text bigger. have you any idea on how to edit it's settings? | 05:32 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: it looks like it's still defaulting to viqr | 05:32 |
| Starnestommy | tmapj: /dcc chat <nickname> | 05:32 |
| CaptainMorgan | usser, dated, indeed- hence my question.... your link might be valid, but who do I have to blame if it doesn't work? who do I go to for support? I'd rather follow the official Ubuntu docs.. *when* they come out | 05:33 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: is unikey giving you problems? | 05:33 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, I installed m17n and m17n-db. It has all of these input methods, but I don't know how to activate it. For example, I open OO and still don't know how to type in VNese | 05:33 |
| TheMaverick` | does anyone know how to actually use the ATi X.org driver package? | 05:33 |
| TheMaverick` | I've installed it, but I have no way of "using" it | 05:33 |
| dessnr | TheMaverick`: not me i'm afraid. | 05:33 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, I think x-unikey is giving some problems. Pidgin often crashes in the middle and sometimes I cannot type any more. Firefox sometimes crash while I'm writing in Vietnamese | 05:33 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, are you Vietnamese by any chance? | 05:34 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: you really should use the packages ... but you need to put Driver "fglrx" in Section "Device" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:34 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: what do you mean? I live in the US | 05:34 |
| jim_beam | TheMaverick, http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support | 05:34 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: this bug might be relevant to you: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/191451 | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 191451 in gtk+2.0 "Bad default choices for Vietnamese installation" [Medium,Fix released] | 05:34 |
| jim_beam | it works | 05:34 |
| Konam | patifa dude, I just did it, sound came back :) but this wasn't suppose to happen. This is a LTS, the updates aren't suppose to break THE SOUND, is something very basic. Seeing this glitches in Hardy make me think that the real LTS will be Intrepid Ibex... | 05:35 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: i used the Add/Remove GUI to install it | 05:35 |
| usser | CaptainMorgan, yea you got the point. | 05:35 |
| CaptainMorgan | usser, besides.. from the wiki, it appears php4 is no being supported or is being taken out of the repos from now on(since hard) | 05:35 |
| secret901 | patifa: did you have problems when playing a video? | 05:35 |
| TheMaverick` | dessnr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615006 | 05:35 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: what ATI card do you have? | 05:35 |
| jim_beam | TheMaverick: http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support | 05:35 |
| TheMaverick` | try that | 05:35 |
| patifa | secret901: Don't remember. | 05:35 |
| usser | CaptainMorgan, i still see it in the repos | 05:35 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: I've been trying to get scim to work on something besides VIQR | 05:36 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: grumble, now back to low graphics mode again... | 05:36 |
| hi5 | I'm finding there's examples of incremental updates for apt. Is anyone familiar with these (maybe on other distros?) | 05:36 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: but haven't been able to | 05:36 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: i have Radeon 1400 mobile | 05:36 |
| patifa | Konam: Technically they have plenty of time to fix 8.04. They have 5 years of releases for it. If there's some software fixes to be made, they'll do it, and for 5 years because of LTS marker. | 05:36 |
| hi5 | Use rsync or xdelta with apt to cut down bandwidth etc. | 05:36 |
| CaptainMorgan | usser, glance over that !lamp link.. it's in there | 05:36 |
| KalEl | hi i have a strange red colored 'download updates' icon - what does it mean? | 05:36 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: when you right-click on an input box, do you see "Input Methods"? | 05:36 |
| patifa | KalEl: Security update | 05:36 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, actually i like x-unikey, but things keep crashing. | 05:36 |
| dessnr | TheMaverick`: Thanks heaps! | 05:36 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: use the Hardware Drivers manager in System > Administration | 05:36 |
| CaptainMorgan | ah.. since 7.04 | 05:36 |
| patifa | KalEl: (Downward red arrow with an exclaimation mark in it) | 05:37 |
| TheMaverick` | dessnr: np ;) | 05:37 |
| usser | CaptainMorgan, ah yes you're right its gone | 05:37 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, where? I don't get what you mean | 05:37 |
| KalEl | yeah that's the one! thanks patifa | 05:37 |
| Ollie | Hi, I can't compile something because I don't have 'dlsym', 'dlerror', 'dlopen', & 'dlclose'. Does anybody know what I need to apt-get to fix this? | 05:37 |
| Marfi | im looking for some software for editing / creating audio. I have used acid, and would like something as powerful, if not more. I like how it interacts with loops, but i want to stem off to actual mixing. any recomendations? | 05:37 |
| crdlb | Joe__: did you use something other than the hardware drivers manager to install the nvidia driver? | 05:37 |
| amenado | hi5-> can you not do the same with just choosing which package you want updated via synaptic | 05:37 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: do you use Pidgin? | 05:37 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: it told me i have no proprietary drivers installed | 05:37 |
| patifa | KalEl: looks like it works. It got your attention really quick ;) | 05:37 |
| Starnestommy | Ollie: is build-essential installed? | 05:37 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, yes, I do | 05:37 |
| Ollie | Starnestommy: yes | 05:37 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: right-click on the input box | 05:37 |
| kindofabuzz | Ollie: read the source README, it should tell you what deps you need | 05:37 |
| Joe__ | cdrlb: Nope, grabbed the package from synaptic, then used Hardware Drivers to enable | 05:37 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: check that restricted is enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources | 05:37 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: do you see "Input methods" as an option? | 05:38 |
| hgy | my name is hgy. | 05:38 |
| Ollie | kindofabuzz: it doesn't | 05:38 |
| KalEl | patifa, sure it does... great job on that! | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | hi everyone | 05:38 |
| hi5 | amenado: doesn't seem so, no. Unless you know otherwise? | 05:38 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, I do | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | I have a really weird question | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | but | 05:38 |
| patifa | KalEl: Not 'mine' | 05:38 |
| crdlb | Joe__: :/ make sure you have linux-generic installed (assuming you're using the -generic kernel) | 05:38 |
| kindofabuzz | Ollie: or INSTALL | 05:38 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: do you see Vietnamese (VIQR)? | 05:38 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, yes, I see it | 05:38 |
| Joe__ | cdrlb: I think I have -386... | 05:38 |
| kindofabuzz | Ollie: or wherever you got the source, read around, they'll list them somewhere | 05:38 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: but nothing else? | 05:38 |
| patifa | KalEl: thank some User Interface designer who did their job. | 05:38 |
| Lapinux | why on earth would i have the apache2 service when its not even installed and i have never installed it? | 05:39 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, many things else, including scim, etc. | 05:39 |
| XiD` | Does anyone here have extensive knowledge of GRUB? I have a fairly complicated HDD/Partition setup and having issues getting GRUB to be recognized as my MBR so I can boot Ubuntu. | 05:39 |
| CaptainMorgan | how can we get the LAMP docs to be updated for Hardy? | 05:39 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: I mean for Vietnamese | 05:39 |
| crdlb | Joe__: in that case, you really should switch to -generic | 05:39 |
| CaptainMorgan | is there someone in charge of them? | 05:39 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: all are checked | 05:39 |
| KalEl | patifa, yeah great job they did! | 05:39 |
| hi5 | amenado:there's things like deltarpm etc, but for ubuntu I don't see any repos supporting this | 05:39 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: Nope, synaptic says linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic is installed | 05:39 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, no, nothing except for viqr | 05:39 |
| KalEl | will write a note to them | 05:39 |
| crdlb | Joe__: -386 is used over -generic if installed | 05:39 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: But uname -a says overwise... | 05:39 |
| crdlb | Joe__: what does 'uname -r' say? | 05:39 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: that's as far as I got to, but according to the link I sent you, scim should support telex by default | 05:40 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: x-unikey seems to not allow me to enter text sometimes | 05:40 |
| amenado | h15 i dont know, thats why i asked you if this are the same | 05:40 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: uname-r says 2.6.24-12-386... now I'm confused | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | I just installed Ubuntu with Wubi, and it downloaded the ISO and said the install was complete and it told me to reboot, and then when it loaded into Ubuntu it was unable to start XWindows so it just dropped me to a shell and I had to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then go into xwindows by typing startx and after that about 3 programs crashed and now im at my desktop but there is still a install icon on the desktop and a lot of | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | programs are still saying im in a live session. So how do I tell if it has been installed right? | 05:40 |
| crdlb | Joe__: ensure that 'linux-generic' is installed, and remove linux-image-$(uname -r) if uname -r says -386 | 05:40 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: and it never dies | 05:40 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, unfortunately I can't type in telex. Anyway, I guess I'll have to live with the inconveniences. btw, why are you typing in VNese? | 05:40 |
| joetheodd | Can anyone help me? I'm using an nVidia MX4000 gfx card, have the restricted nvidia driver installed and enabled, and I'm stuck in 800x600 resolution. The resolution control panel doesn't allow me to go higher. | 05:40 |
| secret901 | for Vietnamese text | 05:41 |
| crdlb | Joe__: I just explained why; 386 has higher priority than generic, so it will be chosen over generic if installed | 05:41 |
| XiD` | Does anyone here have extensive knowledge of GRUB? I have a fairly complicated HDD/Partition setup and having issues getting GRUB to be recognized as my MBR so I can boot Ubuntu. Or, otherwise, can help with an external boot manager? | 05:41 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, so you know Vietnamese? Are you working for some Vietnamese organization? | 05:41 |
| Konam | patifa ok, but that doesn't mean that the initial release should be shit. Isn't that why Microsoft is having the Vista debacle? | 05:41 |
| === calebH is now known as commonlyUNIQU3 | ||
| Joe__ | crdlb: Yeah... just didn't seem to be installed according to synaptic, but apt-get remove saw it | 05:41 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: hmm, then just do it the way I said first (editing xorg.conf) | 05:41 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: removing now | 05:42 |
| joetheodd | Can anyone help me? I'm using an nVidia MX4000 gfx card, have the restricted nvidia driver installed and enabled, and I'm stuck in 800x600 resolution. The resolution control panel doesn't allow me to go higher. | 05:42 |

| TheMaverick` | crdlb: i'm in the Add/Remove Applications GUI, and it shows "ATI binary X.Org driver" checked (I am under GNOME btw) | 05:42 |
| hi5 | secret901, why the vietnamese? | 05:42 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: ok, removed 386 and reinstalled generic(just to be sure it's there), reboot and pray? | 05:43 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: yes, but that doesn't make it be used | 05:43 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, cool. | 05:43 |
| zackymc_k | Does anyone know how to use the touchkit for ubuntu??? i dont know how to calabrate | 05:43 |
| IntangibleLiquid | some of them are coming this summer | 05:43 |
| patifa | joetheodd: Add back Screens and Graphics using the Main Menu in Preferences. It'll be under the Other category. | 05:43 |
| crdlb | Joe__: yes as long as linux-generic is installed (it's a metapackage that installs everything else you should need) | 05:43 |
| secret901 | hi5: it's a spy code | 05:43 |
| hi5 | lol, wtf? | 05:43 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: that's where the hardware drivers manager is supposed to come in :/ | 05:44 |
| Joe__ | ok, rebooting and praying :P | 05:44 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: I sometimes have to type for vi.wikipedia | 05:44 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: it doesn't show up in hardware drivers manager :-S | 05:44 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, you must be an academic :D | 05:44 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: so edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually | 05:44 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: not really | 05:44 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: ok, will try that | 05:45 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, where are you living now? Working? | 05:45 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: in case you lost it: put Driver "fglrx" in Section "Device" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:45 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: California | 05:45 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: rebooted, back to low graphics mode again | 05:45 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: have it under my notices, but ty for the repost ;) | 05:45 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: are you in Vietnam? | 05:46 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: Try the reinstall of xorg-core and nvidia again? | 05:46 |
| zackymc_k | does anyone know how to calibrate the screen using TouchKit? | 05:46 |
| bullgard4 | sudo get-edit prints: "Performing real mode VBE call." What does 'VBE' stand for? | 05:46 |
| crdlb | Joe__: does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf actually say Driver "nvidia" ? | 05:46 |

| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, I installed Scim, got the non_latin packages, viqr, telex, and vni appeared in the global setup box. I enabled it. Then how do I activate it like I activate unikey? | 05:47 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: yes, for all 4 monitors | 05:47 |
| secret901 | IntangibleLiquid: I wish I knew. I'm in the same boat as you. | 05:47 |

| crdlb | Joe__: pastebin the output of: dmesg | grep -i nv | 05:48 |
| IntangibleLiquid | secret901, I'm doing a reboot and see what happens. C y | 05:48 |
| crdlb | (if any) | 05:48 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: Strange... the nvidia driver isn't listed in hardware drivers after removing 386... let me reinstall that first | 05:48 |
| hi5 | intangibleliquid, secret901, I have the same problem as you when i tried kde4... scim kept not working correctly | 05:48 |
| hi5 | glad to know it wasn't just me | 05:48 |
| crdlb | Joe__: that's not a good idea, you don't want to use that kernel | 05:48 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: telling me i can't save the file | 05:48 |
| secret901 | hi5: how do you enable it? | 05:48 |
| Nasra | /msg nickserv identify Nasra | 05:49 |
| hi5 | it's enabled by default in kde-4 | 05:49 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: open it with gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:49 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: I don't want nvidia-glx-new? | 05:49 |

| hi5 | so, i couldn't say | 05:49 |
| crdlb | Joe__: oh nevermind, I misunderstood | 05:49 |
| XiD` | Does anyone here have extensive knowledge of GRUB? I have a fairly complicated HDD/Partition setup and having issues getting GRUB to be recognized as my MBR so I can boot Ubuntu. | 05:49 |
| secret901 | tmapj: are you trying to access data from the Vista partition? | 05:49 |
| tmapj | no i want to run a program inside | 05:50 |
| tmapj | it | 05:50 |
| hi5 | secret901: running scim or scim-setup works :) | 05:50 |
| hi5 | just verified on my install | 05:50 |
| hi5 | might need to install if you don't already have it though | 05:50 |
| secret901 | hi5: then how do you enable an im? | 05:50 |
| amenado | XiD`-> whats the issue? can you post your menu.lst and device.map ? | 05:50 |
| kraypius | can i install ubuntu from a flash drive ? | 05:51 |
| hi5 | secret901: did you run scim-setup? | 05:51 |
| hi5 | it offers "IMEngine" options right there | 05:51 |
| secret901 | hi5: yes | 05:51 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: do i need to do anything after i save the xorg.conf? | 05:51 |
| hi5 | hmm, maybe I don't understand the issue then | 05:51 |
| secret901 | hi5: in the global table, everything seems to be checked | 05:51 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: restart X | 05:51 |
| hotmonkeyluv | !fstab | 05:52 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:52 |
| hi5 | yeah, ic that too actually | 05:52 |
| secret901 | hi5: so how do I use a specific input method? | 05:52 |
| julio_neto | how put the icons in the right side of the desktop? | 05:52 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: not sure how to do that | 05:52 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: log out, then press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace | 05:52 |

| crdlb | Joe__: it doesn't even boot? | 05:53 |
| pale-yafa | guys, this became a torture now, Iam not having firebug for 2 weeks now, since I updated to 8.4 firebug is not there, what to do ? | 05:53 |

| secret901 | hi5: which IM are you using? | 05:59 |

| amenado | this policy kit is going to kill ubuntu's popularity in my* opinion.. not intuitive enuff for an average joe or jane to configure.. | 06:10 |
| Slayeth | Tell me about it, I've been using a bigger resolution for years and I'm stuck on 800x600, I feel old. | 06:10 |
| mattycoze | Slayeth have you found any way to correct the error, or is it a pure hardware technicality | 06:10 |
| secret901 | how do I tell vlc to use a different sound server than pulseaudio? | 06:10 |
| Slayeth | I have no idea, I've spent the last 3 hours working on it and I'm stumped. | 06:10 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: I know some stuff was added to the xorg.conf file (when the error stuff occurred) | 06:10 |
| === cyrus_ is now known as EvilAIM | ||
| cdm10 | secret901: Settings>Preferences, go to Audio>Output Modules and check off Advanced Options. You may need to restart the program to get it to take effect. | 06:11 |
| mattycoze | yeah same, even just to get the two to synchronise at the same resolution (even if it's 640x480 on both screens) i'd be happy with that | 06:11 |
| Joe__ | crdlb: There is another way to do hotkeys.. I can't remember it, had to run it from terminal and a GUI poped up, I used it to set <Super>1 and a few others... any idea what command that was? | 06:11 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, mmmm control panel? the volume control thingy? I dont see switches in there " (btw i have looked at the help files but they are very outdated and dont answer my question) | 06:11 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: change line 35 to Driver "fglrx", then reboot (you should have done a full reboot the first time, but I wasn't thinking) | 06:11 |
| Slayeth | Well my Laptop monitor is broken, and the monitor I'm using now refuses to use a better resolution, works on windows not on here. | 06:11 |
| drivetrax | well.. i have a tab.. it says "Switches" | 06:12 |
| mattycoze | oh okay | 06:12 |
| madrazr | Hii all, I have ATI XPRESS 200 on board graphics. After installing Hardy and installing restricted drivers, Compiz used to work fine all these days, but now I was trying some screenlets and all of a sudden Desktop Effects are disabled, when I try to set it to Extras in System->Preferences->Appearance, it says Desktop Effects could not be enabled, I donno what went wrong. Please help me | 06:12 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: oh, will all the garbage that was added change after reboot? | 06:12 |
| madrazr | Also I ran compiz-switch sometime during the process of experimenting with screenlets | 06:12 |
| mattycoze | Slayeth if ya find anything, drop me a line k? | 06:12 |
| secret901 | cdm10: it's not checked | 06:13 |
| Slayeth | Alright, so far nobody here has been much help =( | 06:13 |
| mattycoze | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12958 | 06:13 |
| drivetrax | you can rename xorg.conf.. and the reboot will make a fresh one | 06:13 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: what garbage? those three sections at the bottom aren't being used | 06:13 |
| mattycoze | drivetrax was that directed at myself and Slayeth? | 06:13 |
| drivetrax | thas what they did to my xorg.conf | 06:14 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: the other stuff under device wasn't there the first time, the the resolution stuff is wrong | 06:14 |
| smoove | i got a joke | 06:14 |
| secret901 | cdm10: so if the advanced settings is checked, I can choose a different server than the default? | 06:14 |
| drivetrax | my restricted drivers screwed up the resolution | 06:14 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: ahh, remove Subsection "Display" | 06:14 |
| mattycoze | drivetrax okay, i don't think that'll work for me, mainly because the screen is only recognised on laptops when you pipe the output upon a "special+F4" command | 06:15 |
| cdm10 | secret901: yep, you can choose a different sound output module. | 06:15 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: 54 to 58 | 06:15 |
| cdm10 | secret901: I'm assuming that's what you mean... | 06:15 |
| secret901 | cdm10: I set the default to be alsa, but vlc is still freezing when I try to play a video | 06:15 |
| Virtue | what was command to force architecture ? | 06:15 |
| drivetrax | wacom? drivers | 06:15 |
| smoove | linux: what are you doing? | 06:15 |

| ian_liu88 | I am trying to share folder with Windows following some tutorials. But, all them say to right click on the folder and choose "Share folder" which immediately calls for a password and asks what kind of share is. Mine, in Hardy, only has "Share Opetions" which brings me to a window whose never asks for a password, and when I click "Share folder" he complains I do not have permissions to do this.... How do I share folders?? | 06:16 |
| secret901 | cdm10: what does that do? | 06:16 |
| Ky3r0z | hey guys | 06:16 |

| koshari | ianlui what folder are you trying to share? are you the owner? | 06:17 |
| mattycoze | drivetrax, okay i'm gunna try something different but i need help... you know how if you set the screen resolution down and you're left with a box that follows the mouse around the "virtual desktop"? | 06:17 |
| kindofabuzz | cool, the update icon was changed | 06:17 |
| mattycoze | is there any way to reduce the size of that "virtual desktop" | 06:17 |

| koshari | what are the permissions? | 06:17 |
| cdm10 | secret901: OSS is basically a really simple way for programs to access the soundcard, which essentially involves them directly writing the sound data to a "file" called /dev/dsp, where it's sent to the soundcard. The downside is that with OSS, only one program can use the soundcard at a time. padsp makes PulseAudio run the program, but whenever the program tries to access /dev/dsp, it basically intercepts whatever it's doing and makes it work within Pulse | 06:17 |
| drivetrax | matt___, -- i only had a blue box in the center of my screen.. before low-res set-in | 06:18 |

| dav7_ | TheMaverick`: hi! | 06:18 |
| cdm10 | secret901: if you want, you can edit the menu entry for vlc to change it to "padsp vlc" so you don't have to run that command every time. | 06:18 |

| Tux2K8 | is there anyway to install the nvidia (official one's , from their site) drivers manually without using envy???? (i mean is there a guide) | 06:19 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: 24 is the maximum | 06:19 |
| cdm10 | Tux2K8: Is there a problem with the ones Ubuntu supplies in its repositories? | 06:20 |
| secret901 | cdm10: that seems inconvenient | 06:20 |
| secret901 | cdm10: thanks though | 06:20 |
| Slayeth | Mattycoze what type of video card do you have? | 06:20 |
| cdm10 | secret901: no, the point is to change the menu entry, which you only have to do once | 06:20 |
| Tux2K8 | Tux2K8 : ues, it doesnt report the cards temps, doesnt have the nvidia control panel | 06:20 |
| cdm10 | secret901: it's quite easy, and you won't have to run padsp vlc manually each time, 'cause it'll be built into the menu entry. | 06:20 |
| Tux2K8 | use = yes | 06:20 |
| madrazr | Rat409: drivetrax: I tried running compiz-switch again but no use | 06:20 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, -- with the restricted drivers .. was there ever the extended Custome desktop that compiz gives you? | 06:20 |
| cdm10 | Tux2K8: It looks like you can install a package for nvidia-settings | 06:21 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: I did not get you | 06:21 |
| Virtue | what was the command to force architecture ? | 06:21 |
| secret901 | cdm10: wouldn't I have to change everywhere there's a shortcut to vlc? | 06:21 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, did you ever notice if the compiz worked with the restricted drivers? | 06:21 |
| Tux2K8 | cdm10 : I didnt know that, and it will cooperate with the drivers that are in the repositories? | 06:21 |
| dav7 | Hey, sorry about "dav7_" before... that was a quick test for some friends, I accidentally forgot to comment a line of code out before I connected it. | 06:21 |
| cdm10 | secret901: how many shortcuts to VLC do you have? | 06:21 |
| dav7 | :oops: | 06:21 |
| koshari | ian may i im you? | 06:21 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: it was working some 15 mins back | 06:21 |
| madrazr | before I played with screenlets | 06:22 |
| secret901 | cdm10: probably no more than 2 | 06:22 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: on retricted driver | 06:22 |
| crdlb | madrazr: pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace' please | 06:22 |
| cdm10 | secret901: well, you can change 'em easily... and once you change it there, I'm fairly sure it'll also change what it opens files with. | 06:22 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, have you restarted X? | 06:22 |
| drivetrax | ctrl. alt bkspc | 06:22 |
| cdm10 | Tux2K8: just sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings | 06:22 |
| kraypius | can i install ubuntu from a flash drive? | 06:22 |
| === bill_ is now known as Roast | ||
| madrazr | drivetrax: I tried restarting the system itself, | 06:22 |
| cdm10 | whoah, what happened to ubotu? | 06:22 |
| cdm10 | !ping | 06:22 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 06:22 |
| madrazr | crdlb: just a min will paste | 06:22 |
| secret901 | cdm10: when I double-click on a video, they usually open with VLC | 06:22 |
| secret901 | cdm10: I'm not sure it'd use that command | 06:23 |
| cdm10 | secret901: Well, you could try it, and if it doesn't work, I can help you change what it uses to open it. | 06:23 |
| ian_liu88 | ohhh | 06:23 |
| ian_liu88 | I did it! | 06:23 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: should lines 45 and 63 be there? And what are the sections with "#" after them? | 06:23 |
| Mimi | How can I record the sound that I HEAR not that I SPEAK ? tia | 06:23 |
| cdm10 | !usb | kraypius | 06:24 |

| drivetrax | madrazr, okay... well, I do not know if you want to do this, ask around.. but.. to get the effects... they had to remove my restricted driver... and the one I got from ati-website, and remove all fglrx.. then rebooted to be sure my video monitor and drivers were listed correctly in xorg.conf.. then.. it all worked | 06:24 |
| ian_liu88 | Thanks! | 06:24 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: the # just comments the rest of the line, so that # isn't doing anything (since the rest of the line is blank) | 06:24 |
| secret901 | cdm10: ok, thanks | 06:24 |
| cdm10 | secret901: I actually have to go now, sorry | 06:25 |
| Ollie | anybody know where to get/how to install realtek HD audio drivers on 8.04? I have no sound at all | 06:25 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: it was working fine with the restricted drivers that Hardy provided immediately after install | 06:25 |
| secret901 | cdm10: ok | 06:25 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: I'm just worried that there's extra junk in the file that shouldn't be there, but we'll see... reboot time | 06:25 |
| madrazr | crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11061/ | 06:25 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, what you may need to do is pastebin... your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and let folks look over them | 06:25 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: ok, do kill that Modeline | 06:26 |
| norty | Question: I just upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 - 8.04, for some reason firefox crashes often (seems to be when im loading multimedia stuff like video or music), how do I fix this? | 06:26 |
| Joe__ | WTF... where did my back button go on Firefox? | 06:26 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: ok, i figured it wasn't needed | 06:26 |
| drivetrax | norty, downgrade FireFox? | 06:26 |
| dbsplhz | what version of firefox do u have? | 06:26 |
| norty | firefox3 beta 5 | 06:26 |
| drivetrax | norty, -- get FlashPlayer_9 from the flash website? | 06:27 |
| dbsplhz | go to beta 4 | 06:27 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: this is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/11062/ | 06:27 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: line 63 is ok to leave? | 06:27 |
| Joe__ | stupid retarded firefox 3 | 06:27 |
| madrazr | crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11061/ is the compiz --replace output | 06:27 |
| ootput | howdy. say i switched b/w debian and ubuntu, and instaleld the same # of packages, will i expect any speed differences? Does Ubuntu use preloader, and/or anything else? | 06:27 |
| Shiva_ | Good Morning, EverybodyC! | 06:27 |
| Shiva_ | What does "enable roaming mode" mean in the network settingd dialoge? | 06:27 |
| Joe__ | no google toobar, no tabmix plus, tried to hide the back button... and doesn't display websites right... | 06:27 |
| Mimi | How can I record the sound that I HEAR not that I SPEAK ? | 06:27 |
| ootput | Mimi: how do you HEAR it? | 06:28 |
| Joe__ | seriously... did they TEST this piece of shit before putting it into Hardy? | 06:28 |
| norty | drivetrax, yes i got flash player 9 | 06:28 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: my xorg.conf has a heck of a lot more stuff than http://paste.ubuntu.com/11062/ | 06:28 |
| Mimi | ootput, Ummm... Sounds that my computer is playing. Games, music, cartoons, friends talking on MSN, whatever | 06:28 |
| ootput | Mimi: if you've any electrical skills, get a cable that runs from line in, to line out. | 06:28 |
| ootput | ah | 06:28 |
| Mimi | Can't afford cable and tools :) | 06:28 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, -- this is my pastebin.. clean, after fix.. | 06:29 |
| Starnestommy | Joe__: it'll eventually be upgraded to the final version of firefox 3 after it;s released. There should be fewer problems once it's fully released | 06:29 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, http://pastebin.ca/1005812 | 06:29 |
| Mimi | Plus this is a laptop, I dont have linein and lineout ootput | 06:29 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: but none of it is being used, and removing 63 would cause total failure | 06:29 |
| Joe__ | starnestommy: Perhaps putting it into Hardy AFTER the final release of firefox 3 would have been a good idea... | 06:29 |
| Starnestommy | Joe__: that would violate the update policy, iirc | 06:30 |
| koshari | mimi change the input in your mixer | 06:30 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: the whole problem here is we both use different cards, my card is always troublesome. So I never used to use Compiz on Gutsy, but it all worked well with Hardy | 06:30 |
| drivetrax | madrazr, -- I see some differences.. | 06:30 |
| Starnestommy | and I'm probably going to avoid Hardy for another couple months, anyway | 06:30 |
| Mimi | koshari, ... how do I do that? Not too sure what you mean | 06:30 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: I dont think these two drivers match | 06:30 |
| Joe__ | starnestommy I would have rather stuck with ff2 for the next 6 months until another Ubuntu update and ff3 was out of beta | 06:31 |
| drivetrax | madrz try help from #compiz-Fusion. find 'Curs0r' | 06:31 |
| crdlb | madrazr: sorry, got distracted | 06:31 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: i'll try rebooting, we'll see what happens | 06:31 |
| koshari | mimi double click on the volume control to bring up the mixer | 06:31 |
| crdlb | madrazr: disable metacity's composite manager | 06:31 |
| Rat409 | Ollie: try looking here or at realtek's website http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/211089/realtek-alc650-alc655-ac97-audio-driver-a2.3-for-linux-free-download.html | 06:31 |
| madrazr | crdlb: how? command please? | 06:31 |
| Mimi | Ok koshari | 06:31 |
| drivetrax | yeah.. they had to disable metacity on mine | 06:31 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: how? | 06:32 |
| crdlb | madrazr: gconf-editor, in /apps/metacity | 06:32 |
| ShadowAp3x | Hey, I'm trying to install the 169.12 NVIDIA driver on 8.04 for a 7900GS; It installs correctly and it can be up and running but I cannot, for the life of me, get my x settings to retain after reboot | 06:32 |
| madrazr | please tell me | 06:32 |
| crdlb | madrazr: you enabled it manually in the first place :) | 06:32 |
| Rat409 | Ollie: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx | 06:32 |
| drivetrax | some screen applet enabled it.. | 06:32 |
| madrazr | crdlb: probably yes, I was playing with something similar in screenlets | 06:32 |
| Mimi | koshari, I see "Input Source" And I have 2 options. Mic and Front Mic .... | 06:32 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: exactly | 06:32 |
| Virtue | are there any internet browsers for linux that support mouse gestures and have tabs ? | 06:33 |
| Rat409 | ShadowAp3x: sudo nvidia-settings with root perms its sticks | 06:33 |
| koshari | mimi x out the source you DONT want and select the source you DO want then use | 06:33 |
| thomas_ | #help | 06:33 |
| Joe__ | Virtue Firefox does via an add-on(the gestures) | 06:33 |
| Mimi | Virtue, ..... Opera. | 06:33 |
| Joe__ | virtue, not sure if it works in ff3 yet though... odds are it doesn't | 06:33 |
| madrazr | thanks a lot people | 06:33 |
| ShadowAp3x | Rat409: I've done that but even then it still won't retain the settings; X will refuse to start after reboot | 06:33 |
| madrazr | crdlb: thanks a lot | 06:33 |
| madrazr | drivetrax: thank you | 06:33 |
| madrazr | it worked | 06:33 |
| Mimi | koshari, ... i dont know what they mean thoguh... theres Capture and Digital under the RECORDING tab, and those | 06:34 |
| Virtue | Joe__, thanks for info | 06:34 |
| Rat409 | ShadowAp3x: dunno but i'd run sudo nvidia-xconfig again then | 06:34 |
| Virtue | Mimi, I forgot to ூyஜா except opera ^^ | 06:35 |
| Virtue | to type* | 06:35 |
| madrazr | hey and all of you, I have this unusual problem, and I am sorry I reported a bug without asking here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/227886/ | 06:35 |

| koshari | mimi all systems sound setups are different, you will need to play round with your settings , you will ned an application to record as well | 06:35 |
| madrazr | its so painful I had to install on another partition just for CD/DVD writing | 06:35 |
| Mimi | koshari, do you know what Capture and Digital ... "channels?" are? | 06:35 |
| Ollie | Rat409: I downloaded realtek-linux-audiopack-5.01.tar.bz2, extracted it, and ran sudo ./install - it went on for a while, and then came up with an error "Make[2]: *** [ja.gmo] Error 1" | 06:36 |
| Ollie | then there were some more errors after that | 06:36 |
| madrazr | *I had to install Winblow$ on another partition | 06:36 |
| Mimi | koshari, i read the help files but they look very very outdated.... | 06:36 |
| ice_nine | I have repository entries for a 'web' repo in my sources.list (ie. deb xxxx.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted web). Whenever I try to update my package information, it fails on these web entries. I have no idea where they came from as I haven't edited this file manually (just been using synaptic). Would I be correct in assuming they should not be there, and remove the word 'web'? | 06:36 |
| koshari | mimi what application are you recording with ? | 06:36 |
| jaybrog | Is anyone having trouble playing flash videos in ubuntu 8.04? | 06:37 |
| Mimi | koshari, this is in volume control like you told me | 06:37 |
| jaybrog | I have the macromedia plugin instaled | 06:37 |
| madrazr | jaybrog: what sort of trouble? | 06:37 |
| Starnestommy | ice_nine: are you remembering the http:// or the ftp:// in the urls? | 06:37 |
| Rat409 | Ollie: try alsa,org and see what it says for your soundchip. i don't have realtek here,but most are supported bt default kernel,just need to know module to load | 06:37 |
| ootput | howdy. say i switched b/w debian and ubuntu, and instaleld the same # of packages, will i expect any speed differences? Does Ubuntu use preloader, and/or anything else? | 06:37 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: it's still fubar | 06:37 |
| koshari | mimi the mixer (via vol control ) only pipes the audio around, you will still need an application to record the stream | 06:38 |
| jaybrog | madrazr, well if I go to youtube for instance, there is a blank space where the videos should be | 06:38 |
| koshari | something like audacity | 06:38 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: failsafe mode again? | 06:38 |
| Ali_ix | ootput: it depends, FYI, preload isnt installed by default in ubuntu | 06:38 |
| madrazr | jaybrog: which flash-plugin you installed and how did you install? | 06:38 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, - have you ever used a full track recording software? | 06:38 |
| Mimi | koshari, yes I know, the only application that looks simple enoguh for me to use is Sound Recorder, but as I was saying I need to understand what Capture and Digital means, so I know which "channel" I need to use to record, no? | 06:38 |
| ice_nine | Starnestommy: Yeah, the full URL is 'deb http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted web' | 06:38 |
| madrazr | I get a screen with an arrow | 06:38 |
| Starnestommy | ice_nine: the web repository might not exist | 06:39 |
| madrazr | jaybrog: when I click on an arrow it starts playing the video | 06:39 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, I dont want to edit, mix, or whatever, I just want to record and save, thats all. nothing professional.... | 06:39 |
| jaybrog | madrazr, sudo apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree | 06:39 |
| koshari | mimi iam not sure but i would expect digital would be piping from the spdif bus on your sound hardware. | 06:39 |
| HangukMiguk_ | madrazr: did you install gnash? just install the nonfree | 06:39 |
| bpat1434 | anyone having issues with gdesklets in Hardy? | 06:39 |
| ootput | Ali_ix: do you know of any similar mechanisms that are implemented in a vanilla install? | 06:39 |
| koshari | mimi eg optical or coaxual input | 06:39 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, how do I remove gnash? | 06:39 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: sudo aptitude remove gnash | 06:40 |
| ice_nine | Starnestommy: That was my guess, though it just seemed like a weird thing to appear out of nowhere. | 06:40 |
| Ali_ix | ootput: no. | 06:40 |
| madrazr | HangukMiguk_: I installed the 1st one that FireFox prompts, I like this way a lot. By having such a great flash plugin I can avoid all unwanted flash ads thus saving my bandwidth, I am on a limited usage connection | 06:40 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, select line-In | 06:40 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, Thank you! | 06:40 |
| Mimi | koshari, I have no idea what that means..... *faints* xD!! Okay | 06:40 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, theres no such thing. | 06:40 |
| Ali_ix | ootput: the most populars are preload and prelink, but as i tested, they wont make a HUGE boost to your performance | 06:41 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, in the sound recorder on the tab that says "Switches" there are three selections.. | 06:41 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, im not trying to record from an external hardware, like a mixer table... eek, i just want to download waht my computer is playing: buddies chatting on MSN or skype (we run karaoke in skype lol ) | 06:41 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, Line-In | 06:41 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, i restarted firefox and the same issue occurred | 06:41 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, theres not Switches in Sound Recorder..... | 06:41 |
| koshari | mimi can you select mix as your input device in sound recorder? | 06:42 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, okay okay.. we will hook up your internal sound to the Line-In | 06:42 |
| HangukMiguk_ | madrarz: gnash pretty much locked up my computer on youtube, i had to install the nonfree for videos to play right | 06:42 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: one sec | 06:42 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, ok :) | 06:42 |
| Mimi | koshari, well there's Capture Mux (Yes, MUX) ... but when i go to volume control it Capture Mux is in Playback, not Recording tab | 06:42 |
| koshari | mimi you dont need to use the line in if the signal is playing on your system already , thats what the mixer is for, | 06:42 |
| === scizzo- is now known as scizzo | ||
| Mimi | drivetrax, im on a laptop, I dont have a line-in plug on it | 06:43 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: failsafe mode? | 06:43 |
| madrazr | HangukMiguk_: I dont think its gnash, its some new plugin | 06:43 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, -- I have the Gstreamer.. and it puts some changes into your computer, this may be why.. I have these things.. do you have the Gstreamer packages? | 06:43 |
| HangukMiguk_ | madrazr: probably not gnash itself, just the moz plugin | 06:43 |
| === scizzo is now known as scizzo- | ||
| Mimi | drivetrax, I dont know, how is that relevant though ? (Not being mean, just trying to understand lol ) | 06:44 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: 640x480, etc | 06:44 |
| drivetrax | Gstreamer and some other things let you use MP3 | 06:44 |
| madrazr | HangukMiguk_: ok | 06:44 |
| CarlFK | update broke my wifi: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg - booted 24-12 is still working. anyone know what's up? | 06:44 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: yes, threw up the same error, brought me to a GNOME login screen, etc | 06:44 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, I'm okay with saving as .ogg | 06:45 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: sudo aptitude remove mozilla-plugin-gnash && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 06:45 |
| olrrai | hi CarlFK | 06:45 |
| CarlFK | hey olrrai | 06:45 |
| drivetrax | still, we need to get the on-board sound device to send to your line-in.. and, I am surprised there is no line-in on your laptop | 06:45 |
| HangukMiguk_ | i actually think i left gnash on my system to have an external flash player, just in case | 06:45 |
| koshari | mimi have you tried any of the inputs in sound recorder? | 06:45 |
| madrazr | people any of you have idea of whats the problem with my CD/DVD writing application? This is the problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/227886/ | 06:45 |

| olrrai | is really neccesary the bonobo-activation-server? | 06:45 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: I'm not sure what's wrong :/ Putting Driver back to "ati" should make it work at full resolution again, though | 06:46 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, thanks very much :) | 06:46 |
| gnech | hi | 06:46 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: anytime | 06:46 |
| Mimi | Heya koshari , in sound recorder, if i try to use capture mux or digital it crashes | 06:46 |
| bullgard4 | Why does get-edid not print screen dimensions? See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/212715/ Although Wikipedia says that EDID includes display size. | 06:46 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: is there any way to just revert xorg.conf back to how it was before all of this? | 06:46 |
| koshari | mimi what other options do you have?/ | 06:46 |
| Mimi | koshari, if I use Capture (not mux) it doesnt crash, and it records, but i hear static as if was my mic detecting random sounds) | 06:46 |
| Mimi | koshari, those are the only 3 | 06:47 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: uh, it's not all that different | 06:47 |
| drivetrax | static.. line-noise.. from the laptop | 06:47 |
| crdlb | TheMaverick`: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' should do it though | 06:47 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, same thing :( | 06:47 |
| koshari | mimi ok stick with the capture setting, and open the mixer and look for the mic slider and turn it down or mut it and try again | 06:47 |
| drivetrax | Mimi, -- when you record the desktop audio.. you may have a low-level static appearring on any wavelength.. a low-level 'hiss' or static.. from the various hardware in the pc | 06:48 |
| sessh1234 | k, so im on ubuntu 8.04 and i installed package kubuntu-desktop, it installed a whole buncha packages, how do i remove them all now? | 06:48 |
| sessh1234 | i dont like kde anymore, lol | 06:48 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: I'll try that | 06:48 |
| koshari | mimi in the mixer i would imagine it will be the pcm challel you will be wanting to record | 06:49 |
| Mimi | koshari, there's no mic slider. Theres : TAB:Playback:Sliders: Master, PCM, Capture Mux. TAB:Recording:Sliders:Capture, Digital. TAB: Options: Input Source: Mic or Front Mic (no sliders for either) | 06:49 |
| TheMaverick` | crdlb: rebooting, we'll see how it goes | 06:49 |
| drivetrax | wow.. that is different htan mine | 06:49 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog, run firefox through terminal, see what pastebin what spits out | 06:50 |
| patifa | mimi: yes there is, it's one of the default sliders | 06:50 |
| mike | bonjour a toutes et tous | 06:50 |
| Mimi | patifa, i have bad vision but im not blind. tyvm | 06:50 |
| HangukMiguk_ | i meant pastebin what spits out | 06:50 |
| olrrai | I have a problem when restart the Xorg, need to kill bonobo-activation-server to init a session again, is bonobo neccesary? | 06:50 |
| dessnr | patifa: i tried conky, and although it's a nice little app, (very good on resources too) it takes some scripting to get it where you want it and to look a bit better. | 06:50 |
| koshari | mimi are you using the alsa mixer in the "device" settings? | 06:50 |
| Mimi | koshari, PCM mmmm okay, so I ... there's only a mute button for it, and if I mute it, I can no longer hear anything on my computer. its like that, right? | 06:50 |
| Mimi | let me check koshari | 06:50 |

| drivetrax | un-mute it | 06:51 |

| mike | beaucoup | 06:51 |
| Mimi | drivetrax, ... it was unmuted in the first place.... -__- | 06:51 |
| hossam | hello im new to linux in general, i continually see people refer to storing the /home directory on a hard disk other than the one the operating system is stored on, how can i link a remote home directory to /home? | 06:51 |
| drivetrax | yes.. ok, but.. you will hear low-level noise from the pc.. that way | 06:51 |
| koshari | mimi if so X out all the devices except for the master and pcm sliders and give it another try. | 06:51 |
| Mimi | koshari, yes, its alsa (i went to Preferences/Sound | 06:52 |
| fully | hi | 06:52 |

| bpat1434 | anyone have issues of gdesklets not starting up in hardy? | 06:53 |
| Mimi | koshari, Mmmm... Ok. I X out everything except Master and PCM. so when I go to sound recorder, what will I pick under Record From Input? :P | 06:53 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: what about swfdec? | 06:53 |
| foraoh | hi, how can i extract an iso file without mounting it? | 06:53 |
| rodrigth | hossam: the easiest way to do it is to have your hard drives attached to the computer at install and set it up then | 06:53 |
| killtacular | I am having problems mounting an NTFS External HDD | 06:53 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, I read a lil on it, is this installed with flashplugin-nonfree? | 06:53 |
| koshari | mimi pick the one that didnt crash and made the noise | 06:53 |
| hossam | rodrigth: i have an identical hard drive installed and ready to go | 06:54 |
| killtacular | Can anybody help me with mounting an HDD | 06:54 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: most likely | 06:54 |
| Mimi | koshari, it was Capture. But I muted it, remember? Now it makes no noise at all | 06:54 |
| hossam | rodrigth: just not sure on what commands to run | 06:54 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, "Because Adobe’s Flash player can not be redistributed in the default Ubuntu installation, a choice of players are offered when you visit a page in Firefox with Flash content. There are three options in Ubuntu 8.04: Adobe Flash, Swfdec (new to this version), and Gnash." | 06:54 |
| fully | I get this error when i do something in the teminal | 06:54 |
| koshari | mimi hopefully by muting the other things your not using it will elleviate the noise | 06:54 |

| koshari | mimi unmute the pcm and master sliders | 06:54 |
| B00TP | hossam: cmds to do what ? ? | 06:54 |
| rodrigth | hossam: now, you are using both for linux? and want one to have /home and one to have root / with all the OS stuff? | 06:54 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, I chose the wrong plugin from the beginning | 06:54 |
| killtacular | yeah an ubuntu 8.04 | 06:55 |
| killtacular | in* | 06:55 |
| Mimi | koshari, they ARE unmuted, but in sound recorded I MUST select a source, and the one that doesntt crash is Capture, which you have told me to mute :p | 06:55 |
| HangukMiguk_ | jaybrog: try swfdec then? | 06:55 |
| hossam | rodrigth: that is correct, is that a more wise solution? or is the default configuration optimal | 06:55 |
| HangukMiguk_ | on gutsy, so i still don't know the repo for hardy | 06:55 |
| pramod | the error I get while executing make install is:- libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../..//libxml2.la' seems to be moved | 06:55 |
| Mimi | koshari, so if I go and select capture as input, it automatically unmutes it. | 06:55 |
| koshari | mimi ok select capture | 06:55 |
| jaybrog | HangukMiguk_, thanks for all the help, I got it now :) | 06:55 |
| Mimi | in that case it records but theres no music/etc | 06:56 |

| pramod | anyone please? | 06:56 |

| Virtue | how do I move 2 files simultaneousely ? to 1 folder | 07:14 |
| TheMaverick` | *sigh* | 07:14 |
| ForLuck | Trikdo, you need a virtual machine tools such as virtualbox | 07:14 |
| drivetrax | yits - ctrl -alt - backspace | 07:14 |
| pramod | killtacular, you didnt execute the commands right, there are two:- sudo fdisk -l and cat /etc/mtab | 07:14 |
| drivetrax | lol | 07:14 |
| killtacular | just submitted. | 07:14 |
| killtacular | I fail. | 07:14 |
| pramod | killtacular ? | 07:14 |
| Virtue | how do I move 2 files simultaneousely ? to 1 folder | 07:14 |
| Mimi | killtacular, let me know when you post the output of ls -al /dev/disk/by-id in ubuntu forums ok? | 07:15 |
| TheMaverick` | Virtue: through cli? | 07:15 |
| TheMaverick` | or GUI? | 07:15 |
| Virtue | mv | 07:15 |
| rodrigth | drivetax: ctrl-alt backspace kills the xserver | 07:15 |
| Virtue | console | 07:15 |
| killtacular | already did, I believe. | 07:15 |
| Trikdo | ForLuck, I know... Does OS X run on that? | 07:15 |
| Mimi | Thank you | 07:15 |
| fserve | hey | 07:15 |
| fserve | my .gvfs is a file and not a folder | 07:15 |
| fserve | how i can make it a folder? | 07:15 |
| IcemanV9 | Virtue: depends on the name of two files e.g. mv nemo* /newplace/. | 07:15 |
| yit4s | yes | 07:15 |
| drivetrax | virtuald, from the file manager.. right click.. and hover to capture just the two files...select copy and drag to the new place/folder | 07:16 |
| yit4s | nice buttons | 07:16 |
| microwaver | pramod, quick question : wich system logger is the best (for ubuntu) there are 2 : sysklogd en klogd, probably sysklogd for ubuntu? because klogd is a kde based app? | 07:16 |
| foraoh | hey how can i extract iso files without having to mount them? | 07:16 |
| HangukMiguk_ | killtacular, i posted what you need to do on the forums | 07:16 |
| pramod | microwaver, klog is a keyboard logger | 07:16 |
| rodrigth | drivetax: this will cause you to lose all your work! instead, if you have gnome, then run these two commands in terminal : (use sudo) | 07:16 |
| rodrigth | gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_9 "<Control><Alt>Delete" | 07:16 |
| rodrigth | gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_9 "gnome-system-monitor" | 07:16 |
| killtacular | thanks! | 07:16 |
| drivetrax | yes.. killed the service | 07:16 |
| HangukMiguk_ | oops | 07:16 |
| ForLuck | Trikdo, the latest version of VirtualBox 1.6.0 can serve you on that. | 07:16 |
| HangukMiguk_ | wait | 07:17 |
| HangukMiguk_ | let me edit | 07:17 |
| TheMaverick` | Virtue: I would think that mv (file1) (newlocation/file1) && mv (file2) (newlocation/file2) would work | 07:17 |
| HangukMiguk_ | i wrote something wrong | 07:17 |
| pramod | microwaver, klogd is a keyboard logger | 07:17 |
| rodrigth | that will bring up gnome system monitor (sry 4 multiline) | 07:17 |
| HangukMiguk_ | fixed | 07:17 |
| pramod | killtacular, you still didnt post the outputs of the commands | 07:17 |
| Virtue | IcemanV9, how do I connect them? do I need to write 2 filepaths with + and then destination folder ? :] | 07:17 |
| yit4s | i added music to my amarok from winxp partition. do i have to always mount the media before i start the application? | 07:17 |
| microwaver | pramod, they both give the same explenation | 07:17 |
| killtacular | I posted them in the ubuntuforums.org | 07:17 |
| drivetrax | windows doesn't KEEP.. anything if you ctrl alt del | 07:17 |
| pramod | killtacular, yep, I see them, sorry | 07:18 |
| chai_ | hi all... does anyone here use fluxbox and know how to make videos fullscreen? the dock and the slit stay above the video on VLC when i do fullscreen | 07:18 |
| Virtue | oh, && | 07:18 |
| Mimi | HangukMiguk_, I dont think he has ntfs 3g installed otherwise the drive would mount just fine | 07:18 |
| yit4s | like if you didnt do it, your library is empty | 07:18 |
| pramod | microwaver, Im not so sure about the differentces | 07:18 |
| killtacular | whats the command to mount in terminal? | 07:18 |
| Mimi | yit4s, yes ofcourse | 07:18 |
| HangukMiguk_ | mount | 07:18 |
| pramod | microwaver, better keep them enabled | 07:18 |
| TheMaverick` | Virtue: I think that's how it's done, i could be wrong | 07:18 |
| Mimi | yit4s, yes ofcourse. if the drive isnt mounted, how is the player going to know where the files are? | 07:18 |
| microwaver | pramod, thought that yeah, but because ther're 2 | 07:18 |
| Virtue | TheMaverick`, thanks I'll try :] | 07:18 |
| IcemanV9 | Virtue: two filepaths? e.g cp nemo* /newpath/.; cp nemo* /anotherpath/. | 07:19 |
| TheMaverick` | Virtue: k, lemme know how it works out | 07:19 |
| IcemanV9 | Virtue: not sure if that's what you're looking for | 07:19 |
| pramod | HangukMiguk you put hdd instead of sdb1 | 07:19 |
| yit4s | mimi: you only have to open the drive on Places and it's killing me! | 07:19 |
| khama | Hi | 07:19 |
| HangukMiguk_ | killtacular: sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g | 07:19 |
| drivetrax | lol... I am finding that I am using ubuntu.. like I have used windows.. lol | 07:19 |
| HangukMiguk_ | then try to mount | 07:19 |
| Mimi | Yeah I know yit4s i spent 7 hours here today trying to find a way to automate it :P | 07:19 |
| pramod | killtacular, what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 07:20 |
| yit4s | mimi: lol | 07:20 |
| killtacular | done | 07:20 |
| killtacular | 8.04 hardy heron | 07:20 |
| pramod | then why are you installing ntfs-3g, its builtin | 07:20 |
| serif | can anyone tell me what max speed uses b43 wireless pls? | 07:20 |
| pramod | wait | 07:20 |
| Mimi | yit4s, ok tell me about your drive. its a windows partition on your internal hard drive or external hard drive? | 07:20 |
| pramod | killtacular, does the external drive mount automaticall? | 07:20 |
| Virtue | IcemanV9, thanks, I'll try that if first won't work :] | 07:20 |
| killtacular | it errors when it try's to autmount | 07:20 |
| pramod | hmm | 07:20 |
| killtacular | it recognizes the hdd but can't mount it. | 07:21 |
| rodrigth | yes, but in windows, ctrl+alt+del brings up task monitor | 07:21 |
| pramod | killtacular :- sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o force | 07:21 |
| serif | can anyone tell me what max speed uses b43 wireless pls?? | 07:21 |
| pramod | do that | 07:21 |
| yit4s | mimi: partition on internal hard drive. i use the "Install on Windows" option kinda thing to install ubuntu | 07:21 |
| killtacular | thanks. | 07:21 |
| serif | 36 or 54 | 07:21 |
| Rat409 | serif: look here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 07:21 |
| pramod | killtacular, does it work? | 07:21 |
| yit4s | mimi: like you can unistall from windows' control panel | 07:21 |
| rodrigth | serif: wireless a is 11Mbits/sec, wireless b is the same, and wireless g is 54 Mbits/sec | 07:22 |
| Mimi | yit4s, oh you used wubi.. :( Im sorry I havent used wubi yet, Im not sure how it would work out from there :( | 07:22 |
| fotoflo | hey, im running ubuntu server... how do i setup a printer? (hp 5608)? | 07:22 |
| IcemanV9 | Virtue: either mine or TheMaverick` should work | 07:22 |
| yit4s | mimi: wubi?? what is that? i'm using hardy heron by the way | 07:22 |
| Mimi | fotoflo, #ubuntu-server | 07:22 |
| killtacular | results: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/external: No such file or directory | 07:22 |
| ForLuck | sorry, guys, what does the word 'kinda' mean?? | 07:22 |
| pramod | killtacular :- sudo mkdir /media/external | 07:23 |
| Rat409 | !wubi | 07:23 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 07:23 |
| pramod | killtacular then do the command again | 07:23 |
| Mimi | ForLuck, "kinda = Kind of / sort of " | 07:23 |
| ForLuck | thx, mimi | 07:23 |
| Mimi | np | 07:23 |
| killtacular | works | 07:23 |
| rodrigth | serif: hang on, a and g are 54 | 07:23 |
| killtacular | Jawesome! | 07:23 |
| pramod | killtacular the drive mounted? | 07:23 |
| killtacular | Yes, thanks pramod | 07:23 |
| yit4s | ubottu: oh ok. i used that to install ubuntu | 07:24 |
| pramod | killtacular you probably had an unclean mount | 07:24 |
| pramod | killtacular that can cause automount problem | 07:24 |
| rodrigth | serif: b is 11, but further range, g is a combination of a and b | 07:24 |
| drivetrax | you still need the alternate install ISO burnt to disk? for Wubi? | 07:24 |
| pramod | killtacular automount should now work | 07:24 |
| killtacular | I've been having problems with improper shutdowns. | 07:24 |
| yit4s | uninstalling ubuntu took about 30 seconds to finish | 07:24 |
| yit4s | lol | 07:24 |
| pramod | kiiltacular that explains it | 07:24 |
| yit4s | on wubi | 07:24 |
| which123 | oops | 07:25 |
| pramod | killtacular that explains it | 07:25 |
| killtacular | I have to manually chkdsk on reboot with improper shutdown on my other pc | 07:25 |
| Mimi | yit4s, i see... i think your problem is actually easy, let me see: can you mount the drive you have the music in, and then type sudo mount in a terminal ... and pastebin me the output | 07:25 |
| yit4s | pramod: how do i automount my other partition so that i can access my music automatically? | 07:25 |
| pramod | yit4s, give me a minute please | 07:25 |
| yit4s | ok | 07:25 |
| ompaul | killtacular, the command "shutdown -h now" does not do it for you? | 07:25 |
| pramod | killtacular, you can run ntfs-fix on the drive | 07:25 |
| Virtue | TheMaverick`, IcemanV9 it's even easier - mv file1 file2 /dir :]] | 07:26 |
| babolat | is the proprietary rar package from synaptic a gtk frontend or GUI? | 07:26 |
| Mimi | pramod, theres no hifen on that command | 07:26 |
| pramod | yit4s, you need to add the entry to fstab | 07:26 |
| yit4s | mimi: can you actually explain what is mount... i'm a total newbie to ubuntu | 07:26 |
| pramod | mimi what command? | 07:26 |
| bullgard4 | Why does get-edid not print screen dimensions? See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/212715/ Although Wikipedia says that EDID includes display size. | 07:26 |
| killtacular | are you suggesting that the drive is corrupt? | 07:26 |
| Mimi | ntfsfix pramod | 07:26 |
| TheMaverick` | Virtue: I wasn't sure if that worked, but cheers since it did :) | 07:26 |
| pramod | oops | 07:26 |
| pramod | mimi, thanks | 07:26 |
| ompaul | babolat, wouldn't know but gtk is the tool for creating gui tools ;-) | 07:26 |
| Virtue | :] | 07:26 |
| pramod | Mimi, thanks | 07:26 |
| IcemanV9 | Virtue: terrific! | 07:26 |
| yit4s | mimi: what is fstab? | 07:27 |
| pramod | killtacular, not ntfs-fix, ntfsfix | 07:27 |
| Mimi | yes yit4s what mount will do is show you which partitions are mounted. I ask for the output because I want to know which drive is your music drive, so we can automount it | 07:27 |
| pramod | yit4s it automatically mounts internal drives/partitions at boot | 07:27 |
| Mimi | i will tell you in a sec yit4s , can you give me the output so we can move on to the next step? :) | 07:27 |
| yit4s | ok | 07:27 |
| Mimi | pramod, well obvisouly its not mounting at boot for her/him . i had the same problem. | 07:27 |
| ForLuck | Mimi, are you the administator here? | 07:28 |
| Mimi | ForLuck, Eek, no I'm not! :P | 07:28 |
| babolat | ompaul, i stand corrected.. sit rather.. u know of an app that i could use automated splitting of archives? | 07:28 |
| pramod | Mimi, mounting a drive at boot especially at bootup is something with either the drive or with fstab | 07:28 |
| ForLuck | :-D | 07:28 |
| pramod | Mimi, meant an internal drive | 07:28 |
| Mimi | !pastebin | yit4s | 07:28 |

| Mimi | pramod, i had the issues just a few hrs ago, i will see what yit4s has set up and we can work from there. im not making any assumptons nor should you, it doenst help anyone | 07:29 |
| pramod | yit4s, sudo fdisk -l | 07:29 |
| pramod | Mimi, all drives mount | 07:29 |
| pramod | Mimi, fstab problem | 07:29 |
| ompaul | babolat, there is: split which splits stuff - command line tool full details on "man split" you need to read it to understand your full options | 07:29 |
| ompaul | babolat, then you use cat to put them back together | 07:29 |
| TheMaverick` | Does anyone know why nothing is showing up under System>Administration>Hardware Drivers after adding "ATI binary X.Org driver" through [Add/Remove Applications]? | 07:30 |

| ForLuck | :'( | 07:30 |

| pramod | killtacular whats the OS on the other PC? | 07:30 |
| kom7 | khkjh | 07:31 |
| killtacular | it would probably help if I'm on that pc. | 07:31 |

| yit4s | mimi:yes | 07:31 |
| kom7 | ljlkjlj | 07:31 |
| TheMaverick` | kom7: please stop with the spam... | 07:31 |

| yit4s | mimi: then what do i do now? i did the sudo mount so far. should i just restart anotehr terminal? | 07:32 |
| Mimi | shashi, sudo -i ? it will only ask for password once | 07:32 |
| pramod | Mimi, according to the mount command, all drives or partitions mount, I dont see how that can be a problem with a line | 07:32 |

| astro76 | koolkop: not it's not, but I've told you where to get an ubuntu package of adobe reader twice now ;) | 07:39 |
| pramod | RyanPrior /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart should do it | 07:39 |
| RyanPrior | pramod: Are there other ones as well, in case that didn't work? | 07:40 |
| yit4s | pramod: is that what you do when your sound start to produce nohting? | 07:40 |

| arekm | on ubuntu ftp there is a patch fixing somethings in 2.6.22 kernel - linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-14.52.diff.gz. I'm trying to find out where this patch is developed? Some repository I assume (where it's splitted into smaller logical chunks). Does anyone know where such repository can be? | 07:40 |
| aleksandr | Sigh...the Hardy switch has been a painful one, I must say...I've been sitting tight waiting for some sort of news or a fix in the updates. | 07:40 |
| pramod | yit4s, I never faced anything like that | 07:40 |
| pramod | yit4s, except during testing | 07:40 |
| RyanPrior | pramod: Thanks. Hopefully it will happen again and I can test it and submit a good bug report. | 07:40 |

| erpo | My laptop's bios won't let me select an external USB drive as a boot device. Is there a way I can load an operating system from an external USB drive anyway, similar to how we used to use bootable CDs in computers that didn't support el torito by using boot floppies? | 07:44 |
| astro76 | !repeat | JDSBlueDevl | 07:44 |

| aleksandr | I know I've been having a lot of issues...mysterious issues, unfortunately. | 07:45 |
| astro76 | JDSBlueDevl: that was more for the first sentence about not feeling ignored ;) | 07:45 |
| JDSBlueDevl | true, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had the issue | 07:46 |
| yit4s | anyone know how to use webcam on ubuntu? i have an intergrated webcam on my acer laptop | 07:46 |
| Rat409 | erpo: a boot-floppy or boot-cd with proper drivers maybe | 07:46 |

| aleksandr | What is the issue again JDSBlueDevl? | 07:46 |
| aleksandr | I missed the first bit. | 07:47 |
| JDSBlueDevl | my scrollbar in some apps (like terminal and System Monitor) is invisible | 07:47 |
| JDSBlueDevl | and my profile is set to see the scrollbar | 07:47 |

| nano_ | i have a laptop with scsi cdrom driver, however, this cdrom drive is not called /dev/sdb (scsi) , but its instead called /dev/scd......isn't this naming convention incorrect since a scsi block device should start with /dev/sd[a-z] | 07:52 |
| yit4s | forluck: right click on the clock>Preferences. add a location and set your weather settings | 07:52 |
| mohan34u | laiya: do you downloaded any gtk theme? | 07:52 |

| yit4s | forluck: i put some coordinates at location | 07:53 |

| dabbill | Ali_ix, no idea | 07:57 |
| erpo | fooks: More or less, yes. | 07:58 |
| fooks | erpo, possibly not | 07:58 |
| fooks | ?* | 07:58 |
| fooks | though? | 07:58 |
| erpo | fooks: You need a composite manager. Compiz fusion is the best composite manager. | 07:58 |
| dabbill | Ali_ix, what would be the codeing to try other then /dev/sda ? | 07:58 |
| === roxahris__ is now known as roxahris | ||

| mohan34u | student: untared it? | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | fooks: You can use other composited window managers, like kwin from KDE4 or xcompmgr or XFCE's window manager ( which does not require AIGLX ) | 07:58 |
| fooks | erpo, whats one that doesn't need open gl | 07:58 |
| nano_ | im experiencing cyclic system freezing upon inserting of a cdrom into my drive.....i completely stumped as to what could be causing this? | 07:58 |
| erpo | fooks: I don't think there is one. | 07:59 |
| student | <mohan34u> i already extract it | 07:59 |
| fooks | Jordan_U, kwin doesn't need aiglx? | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | fooks: XFCE's doesn't need it | 07:59 |
| fooks | glx looks to be the culprit | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | fooks: kwin does | 07:59 |
| fooks | im using an older card | 07:59 |
| mohan34u | go to that directory.. then type ./configure | 07:59 |

| gd1 | is there any nice looking web remote control interface for amule? | 08:01 |
| Starnestommy | the install file is a set of instructions for how to install it | 08:01 |
| zvacet | student : install is probably file with instructions how to install if you are compiling run ./configure | 08:01 |
| astro76 | student: the typical process is ./configure; make; make install, but you might want to consider checkinstall if you want to remove it easily | 08:01 |
| astro76 | !checkinstall | student | 08:01 |
| ubottu | student: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 08:01 |
| gd1 | something more seriuous and accurate | 08:01 |
| mohan34u | If it is using GNU build system then ./configure && make && make install | 08:01 |

| Jordan_U | fooks: No | 08:06 |
| WoDaN | dabbill: there are symlinks there created by udev, a device ID doesn't change so that one can work too | 08:06 |
| zvacet | chubaca : install pacpl it is text based but it is good and if you use Amarok you will have gui | 08:06 |
| kindofabuzz | barata: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart? | 08:06 |
| anolis | (reciever) | 08:06 |
| fooks | Jordan_U, o rly? | 08:06 |
| astro76 | cast: I've had no problems on multiple machines, it's a great release | 08:06 |
| Starnestommy | student: run "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and put a # at the start of the first line | 08:06 |
| Flannel | cast: 8.04 was just released, 7.10 is stabler, but 8.04 should settle down soon. But, 8.04 is the most recent release, and the most recent LTS release. | 08:06 |
| barata | ok kindofabuzz ... I'll try | 08:06 |
| anolis | (a physical piece of hardware) | 08:06 |
| kelvin911 | what is cleaninstall, how to do that? | 08:06 |
| cast | hmmm. alright, thanks :) | 08:06 |
| kelvin911 | checkinstall | 08:06 |
| dabbill | WoDaN, under /dev/disk i have by-id by-path by-uuid | 08:06 |
| astro76 | !checkinstall | kelvin911 | 08:06 |
| ubottu | kelvin911: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 08:06 |
| chubaca | zvacet: how do I convert files in amarok? | 08:06 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: sudo apt-get install checkinstall | 08:07 |
| WoDaN | dabbill: nod | 08:07 |
| WoDaN | dabbill: now look under by-id | 08:07 |
| mohan34u | student: or go to system-> administration->software Sources then go uncheck CD option | 08:07 |
| WoDaN | dabbill: preferably with ls -al ;) | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | fooks: Composite is required for partial transparency, so if you want ( true ) partial transparency you need composite support | 08:07 |
| kindofabuzz | kelvin911: then ./configure, make, sudo checkinstall | 08:07 |
| WoDaN | dabbill: symlinks for your (p)leasure ;) | 08:07 |
| barata | doesnt work kindofabuzz | 08:07 |
| fooks | Jordan_U, gdesklets has a failry nice docker launcher | 08:07 |
| barata | my problem is I cannot open google! | 08:07 |
| fooks | but its not as spiffy | 08:07 |
| barata | and it says that I need to flush the dns cache | 08:07 |
| kindofabuzz | barata: can you open anything else? | 08:07 |
| barata | yes | 08:08 |
| zvacet | chubaca : with pacpl it is python script for convert just add script to Amarok and you will have gui and rest is easy | 08:08 |
| kindofabuzz | barata: what says flush your dns? | 08:08 |
| barata | I'm with tmobile now and I've seen others with similar thing | 08:08 |
| barata | flush the dns cache so I can open google | 08:08 |
| barata | see, others sites work | 08:08 |
| chris_420 | nobody uses mutella huh? | 08:08 |
| Rat409 | browser cache as in firefox? | 08:08 |
| barata | mutella is out dated | 08:08 |
| RyanPrior | I like the new updates icon. | 08:08 |
| zvacet | chubaca : http://pacpl.sourceforge.net/ | 08:08 |
| RyanPrior | It's tango-riffic. | 08:08 |
| barata | I cannot ping google | 08:09 |
| chris_420 | barat latest command line gnutella client is? | 08:09 |
| chubaca | zvacet: thanks a lot | 08:09 |
| RyanPrior | barata: That means you fial. | 08:09 |
| fooks | thanks for the help though | 08:09 |
| fooks | im off | 08:09 |
| kindofabuzz | barata: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart is how you do it though | 08:09 |
| fooks | peace | 08:09 |
| mohan34u | student: are you there? | 08:09 |
| dabbill | WoDaN, I am not sure if these are correct, never really looked at symlinks before | 08:09 |
| barata | so it is not a broser issue | 08:09 |
| zvacet | chubaca :np | 08:09 |
| rinova1 | ggh | 08:09 |
| Starnestommy | barata: does http://72.14.207.99 work? | 08:09 |
| kane77 | what webcam should I get so that it would work well in ubuntu? | 08:09 |
| barata | ok ... with this tmobile, of course I' running my wireless | 08:09 |
| chris_420 | lime wire gets old and is too freezy... frostwire is ummmm OK.... looking for command line stuff lol | 08:10 |
| barata | let me try Starnestommy | 08:10 |
| kindofabuzz | barata: or reboot your router, that will do it too | 08:10 |
| RyanPrior | kane77: None. Webcam support is pretty universally bad. You might find some with decent support, though. | 08:10 |
| barata | yes kindofabuzz | 08:10 |
| barata | chinese google? | 08:10 |
| RyanPrior | !hardware | kane77 | 08:10 |

| dabbill | WoDaN, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11065/ is whats there | 08:10 |

| kindofabuzz | barata: oh, well that original command i gave you will do it on your end | 08:11 |
| mohan34u | now type ./configure && make && make install | 08:11 |
| chris_420 | ok thanx for the help yall | 08:11 |

| student | what its for the build essential? | 08:12 |
| kane77 | RyanPrior, that is not too good, I am working on JPEG/RTP and I need to test it with something | 08:12 |
| barata | ok ... I can, as long as I'm still using that 72.~ | 08:12 |
| student | <mohan34u> what its for the building essential? | 08:12 |
| jerzyk86 | hi, i install ubuntu 8.04 on notebook hp dv6640ew, somtimes when i run Ubuntu i see " SEGMENTATION Failure" and i dont know what that mean. Evry moduls before error have [OK]. When i restart notebook evrything is ok | 08:12 |
| mohan34u | I don't know.. but if we need to compile a source tarball then we need it.. | 08:12 |
| barata | no kindofabuzz ... I tried to open it with opera, it seemed I had Chinese in my opera | 08:12 |
| RyanPrior | kane77: I suggest downloading some sample clips to test with. Ubuntu comes with one encoded in a free format (Ogg Theora I think) and Transana has some more, in various formats, for example. | 08:12 |
| barata | but then in firefox, I see English | 08:13 |

| barata | T-Mobile Blocking Google or Google Blocking T-Mobile? | 08:13 |
| mohan34u | yes.. | 08:13 |
| barata | opera opens mht kindofabuzz | 08:13 |

| mohan34u | ok I have to go.. just download and install build-essential and go to the extracted tarball directory in terminal and type ./configure && make && make install | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Ollie: exactly, that version is almost bleeding edge, if you don't know why it doesn't work on ubuntu - you shouldn't be compiling your own as thats not going to fix anything | 08:36 |
| Flannel | Ollie: what's in 1.6 that you need? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | mohan34u: thats not sound advice | 08:37 |
| mohan34u | ikonia: what to say? | 08:37 |
| Ollie | I don't want 1.6, I want one that actually works when i tell it to boot up the VM | 08:37 |
| Ollie | and with this one, that I got from the repository, it won't... it says: | 08:37 |
| ikonia | mohan34u: I said thats not sound advice to give someone to just blindly run those commands | 08:37 |
| fde | Ollie: You had issues with vboxdrv before? It is fixed today. | 08:37 |
| laiya | hmm | 08:37 |
| Ollie | "VirtualBox kernel driver not installed" | 08:37 |
| student | ok thanks mohan34u | 08:37 |
| fde | Ollie: yes... it's fixed... try again. | 08:38 |
| fde | (upgrade first) | 08:38 |
| Ali_ix | Ollie: are you using default kernel? | 08:38 |
| Ollie | try what again? | 08:38 |
| mohan34u | ikonia: forgive me if I said something wrong.. | 08:38 |
| Ollie | I downloaded virtualbox 30 minutes ago... they fixed it in the last 30 minutes? | 08:38 |
| mohan34u | after all I am also a beginner.. | 08:38 |
| cast | mohan34u: you can remove/replace/upgrade/switch between versions of ./configure make make installed software without the normal fuckery | 08:38 |
| fde | Ollie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ... then log out and back in, and try virtualbox again | 08:38 |
| yacc | I wonder why Linux is still so easy to kill ;( | 08:38 |
| ikonia | mohan34u: not at all, just think about what your telling someone to do, those commands can be very dangerous to a system | 08:38 |
| cast | s/fuc/duc | 08:38 |
| fde | Ollie: (loading the vm...) | 08:38 |
| ikonia | cast: that language needs to stop pleas.e | 08:38 |
| Ali_ix | Ollie: if you are using the vbox from repositories, there is a package for kernel driver | 08:39 |
| cast | i had forgotten about ubuntu rules :( | 08:39 |
| pavs | need help with simple bash scripting. I need to echo an output than wait 1 sec, than print another output than 1 sec and so on, but it has to be on the same line. I trying this but obviously it's not working: echo "this is a test ." sleep 1 echo "." | 08:39 |
| fde | Ali_ix: his issue is fixed, he just needs to upgrade. | 08:39 |
| harris | Hi Guys....... whheez.... Is it okay that my root Partition is only 3 GB? my swap is around 256 MB and the other memory is for my files? is it okay? | 08:39 |
| idran2 | Hi to all; I have a problrm with my ALSA. Mplayer and other software, after i have installed Ubuntu 8.04, doesn't work fine. IE Mplayer says always [AO_ALSA] Mixer load error. No such file or directory. I try to reinstall all ALSA-base and other stuff with Synaptic but nothing changes. I also saw that in my volume manager I can't modify my input. I have also OSS but it doesn't work fine too! | 08:39 |
| Ollie | what is it called? | 08:39 |
| mohan34u | ikonia: so what will you suggest? | 08:39 |
| olskolirc | !resolution | olskolirc | 08:39 |
| fde | Ollie: do what I told you please. | 08:39 |
| Ali_ix | Ollie: if you are using the vbox provided in their site (virtualbox.org) you should use this command: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" | 08:39 |
| harris | Hi Guys....... whheez.... Is it okay that my root Partition is only 3 GB? my swap is around 256 MB and the other memory is for my files? is it okay? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | mohan34u: not advising blindly typing make commands | 08:39 |
| cast | harris: free -m, are you actually using swap? | 08:39 |
| fde | Ollie: also ensure you're in the vboxdrv group | 08:39 |
| Ali_ix | fde: fine, i have custom kernel so i am not aware of issues | 08:40 |
| harris | i rily don't know.... wait.... ill try it | 08:40 |
| yacc | I mean, a simple echo command can kill my Hardy box. No redirections, no nothing, ... | 08:40 |
| zvacet | harris: it will be better if it is bigger at least 5 if you have space | 08:40 |
| astro76 | ikonia: student asked how to compile a tarball which he already has extracted, and we've pointed him to checkinstall, what exactly do you suggest? | 08:40 |
| xborgy | i have a file in /usr/share/ubuntustudio-audio called rtprio.py and in my /etc/security/Limits.conf it has @audio - rtprio 99 what does this do exactly? | 08:40 |
| yacc | echo {0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9} | 08:41 |
| yacc | And boom it goes. | 08:41 |
| ikonia | astro76: check install is not typing "configure && make && make install" as suggested | 08:41 |
| linux_user400354 | that ubuntu security thing is just a clone of selinux | 08:41 |
| Flannel | linux_user400354: no, its AppArmor | 08:41 |
| harris | I have 60 GB hard disk the 30 Gb is for my Windows, the other 30 Gb is for Linux... I put 3 GB for my root, 256 MB swap, and the rest is for my ffiles.. | 08:41 |
| mohan34u | ikonia: astro76 gave the link to checkinstall previously.. | 08:41 |
| mohan34u | to 'student' | 08:42 |
| harris | I have 60 GB hard disk the 30 Gb is for my Windows, the other 30 Gb is for Linux... I put 3 GB for my root, 256 MB swap, and the rest is for my ffiles.. | 08:42 |
| ikonia | mohan34u: great, so then you had no need to offer random make commands to him | 08:42 |
| harris | total used free shared buffers cached | 08:42 |
| harris | Mem: 503 498 5 0 3 189 | 08:42 |
| harris | -/+ buffers/cache: 304 198 | 08:42 |
| harris | Swap: 243 38 204 | 08:42 |
| cast | apparmor is a completely different approach to selinux, heh. | 08:42 |
| FloodBot3 | harris: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:42 |
| fde | linux_user400354: what "ubuntu security thing"? if you're talking about app armor it is a VERY different implementation. | 08:42 |
| kr00l | Hello everyone! I Have a question about Desktop Ram. What would be faster? 2x 512mb = 1gb or 1gb RAM the timings on the Ram are 4-4-4-12 | 08:42 |
| zvacet | harris : then you can make your root ~10Gb | 08:42 |
| linux_user400354 | fde: wasn't there a new security feature added in hardy? | 08:42 |
| Flannel | kr00l: 2x512, but for future questions like that, #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:43 |
| fde | linux_user400354: AppArmor... you don't know its name, but you feel the need to make sweeping statements about it? | 08:43 |
| harris | wow.... can I stil make it 10.. without formating to protect my files from root | 08:43 |
| zvacet | linux_user400354: do you mean ufw | 08:43 |
| harris | zvacet: wow.... can I stil make it 10.. without formating to protect my files from root | 08:43 |
| ikonia | kr00l: not really an uubntu question, more hardware, that information is very dependant on your hardware | 08:43 |
| kr00l | Flannel why the 2x512? | 08:43 |
| linux_user400354 | kr00l: you might get good information from #hardware | 08:43 |
| Flannel | kr00l: #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:43 |
| Ollie | ok I did what someone suggested: I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, restarted, no change. Still no kernel driver | 08:43 |
| mohan34u | exit | 08:43 |
| student | When I MAKE AND INSTALL THE FILE IT SAYS no targets specefied what wrong with it? | 08:43 |
| fde | zvacet: I'd hope he means AppArmor, ufw isn't even related to SELinux ;) | 08:44 |
| ikonia | student: don't shout | 08:44 |
| ikonia | student: you've not compiled it properly | 08:44 |
| student | ikonia: but how? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | student: how what ? | 08:44 |
| student | Ikonia: i mean how to compiled? | 08:44 |
| harris | can I still change my root memory to bi bigger without formatting? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | student: what are you trying to compile ? | 08:45 |
| zvacet | harris : you need to shrink your other partition with http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ | 08:45 |
| kindofabuzz | student: what are you trying to compile? have you checked to see if there is a .deb already? | 08:45 |
| astro76 | harris: what do you mean by "root memory" ? | 08:45 |
| xborgy | is rtprio telling my audio to put it in 99 priority? what does 99 mean high or low? | 08:45 |
| cast | harris: root disk space? if you use lvm you can do a online resize, else you'll have to do it offline | 08:45 |
| rio | he means the filesystem / is on probably | 08:45 |
| zvacet | fde:you are right | 08:45 |
| student | no there is no .deb A install-sh and a configure only | 08:46 |
| ikonia | student: what are ou trying to compile | 08:46 |
| cast | harris: consider moving /home, or /usr, or /var, off / if you haven't already also. [especially /home] | 08:46 |
| harris | cast: is lvm is a software use to resize the root disk space? | 08:46 |
| kindofabuzz | sudent: what is the program? | 08:46 |
| student | When I MAKE AND INSTALL THE FILE IT SAYS no targets specefied what wrong with it? | 08:46 |
| ikonia | student: STOP using caps | 08:46 |

| linux_user400354 | fde: wasnt apparmor available before hardy came out? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | student: What software package are you trying to compile ? | 08:47 |
| cast | bash: MAKE: command not found, what's the MAKE commandsupposed to do? :) | 08:47 |
| ikonia | student: ophcrack ? | 08:47 |
| fde | linux_user400354: sure, it's not officially supported though... (although I don't think it's part of the default install still) | 08:47 |
| student | ikonia: yes | 08:47 |
| ikonia | student: a windows password cracker ? | 08:47 |
| student | ikonia: noth | 08:47 |
| linux_user400354 | fde: nevermind what i said then | 08:48 |
| ikonia | student: what ? | 08:48 |
| student | Ikonia: they are both | 08:48 |
| fde | student: try 'apt-cache show john' | 08:48 |
| Y-Town | student: looking for help or cracks? | 08:48 |
| ikonia | student: they are both what ? | 08:48 |
| cast | harris: uh...sometimes it's used that way. i think it unlikely you use it unless you set it up in the installer | 08:48 |
| pc03 | hi | 08:48 |
| student | ikonia: they are both for windows and linux | 08:48 |
| ikonia | student: and you want a password cracker yes ? | 08:48 |
| harris | wait cast ill install it | 08:48 |
| student | Y-town: yes can you help me | 08:49 |
| Neotism | Hello. | 08:49 |
| Neotism | Whoa, that's a lot of nicks. | 08:49 |
| Y-Town | student: yes I can | 08:49 |
| cast | harris: it doesn't work like that. | 08:49 |
| kindofabuzz | student: sorry to say, if you don't evn know how to compile source, i doubt you will even be able to use the program | 08:49 |
| Y-Town | student: You need to go somewhere else for that crap :o) | 08:49 |
| Ayabara | I've managed to mess up my firefox, so that I have to type "firefox.ubuntu" to make it start. Is there a way I can do a total reinstall of FF with all Ubuntu integration? | 08:49 |
| fde | john is about the best password cra^W recovery tool available for Linux. | 08:49 |

No such file or directory. I try to reinstall all ALSA-base and other stuff with Synaptic but nothing changes. I also saw that in my volume manager I can't modify my input. I have also OSS but it doesn't work fine too! | 08:51 |
| Ali_ix | Ayabara: user synaptics and mark firefox for 'complete removal' and thn instal it again | 08:51 |
| ikonia | student: great, you don't need to crack your password | 08:51 |
| ikonia | student: reboot your machine, and drop into "recvoery mode" | 08:51 |
| ikonia | student: from there use the command passwd $username to resert your password | 08:51 |
| student | ikonia: realy? thanks | 08:51 |
| zcat[1] | assumptions, assumptions ... | 08:51 |
| daftpun1 | good morning | 08:52 |

| daftpun1 | !moo | 08:52 |
| ubottu | Factoid moo not found | 08:52 |
| ikonia | student: you have the answer to your problem | 08:52 |
| zcat[1] | student: how are you failing to get access to your files.. just can't log in, or did you encrypt a file somehow? | 08:52 |
| student | ikonia: thanks... | 08:52 |

| Neotism | When I am using Mozilla Firefox I am frequently asked to install a missing plugin (icedtea-java-7) but it's already installed and applets won't work. Should I uninstall all my Java and start again? | 08:53 |

| harris | Probably later | 08:53 |
| fotoflo | hey, i need help getting my printer setup on ubuntu server... #ubuntu-server is dead, so im asking here | 08:53 |
| fotoflo | ive just installed cups... how do i test if the printer is recognized? | 08:53 |
| Ali_ix | harris: you can always use ONE package manager at a time, to avoid conflicts | 08:53 |
| student | zcat: my classmate encriypted it | 08:53 |
| harris | I really confused about file system of Linux....( the swap, the root, etc)... i need to read first | 08:53 |
| Ollie | fde: are you still here? | 08:53 |
| ikonia | student: I suspect you should speak to your classmate then please | 08:53 |
| fde | Ollie: yup | 08:53 |
| astro76 | !fhs | harris | 08:54 |
| ubottu | harris: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 08:54 |
| daftpun1 | is there any apt that can read from a NTFS partition of my hard drive? | 08:54 |
| Ollie | what was your suggestion again for virtualbox, please? | 08:54 |
| student | ikonia: no...his my enemy now.. | 08:54 |
| ikonia | daftpun1: the ntfs driver can read ntfs disk and the ntfs-3g can read-write | 08:54 |
| ikonia | student: take it up with your teacher then, attempting to break passwords is not the answer | 08:54 |
| yit4s | can i use CTRL+ALT+Backspace as a way to reboot my comp? | 08:54 |
| zcat[1] | student: in that case, yes.. you probably need john.. just open a terminal and type "sudo aptitude install john" and you'll have it... in ubuntu it is very rare that you ever need to download, let alone compile, any software... | 08:54 |
| laiya | how do i enable file sharing over a wifi network ? earlier when i had windows i could make it a workgroup and share files .. i cant seem to do so in ubuntu .. could someone please guide me | 08:54 |
| ikonia | student: plus it's clear your not telling the whole truth as you told me you had forgot your password | 08:54 |
| Flannel | yit4s: its a really bad way to do it, since it doesn't reboot it at all. | 08:54 |
| Ali_ix | laiya: you can use nfs or samba | 08:55 |
| fde | Ollie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ... when that is done, add yourself to the vboxdrv group (just sudo gedit /etc/group and add your name to the end of that line) ... then log out and back in, and virtualbox should be working. | 08:55 |
| daftpun1 | ok ill'try that | 08:55 |
| laiya | Ali_ix: which one do you recommend ? | 08:55 |
| yit4s | so what is the use of CTRL+ALT+Backspace anyway? when you;re ubuntu hangs? | 08:55 |
| Myrtti | hello | 08:55 |
| Ollie | did you say that group membership stuff before? | 08:55 |
| ikonia | hi | 08:55 |
| cast | it kills X | 08:55 |
| daftpun1 | ikonia and where will that disk show? in mnt/ ? | 08:55 |
| astro76 | yit4s: it restarts X | 08:55 |
| Ali_ix | laiya: samba is easier and slower, nfs is a bit complicated and faster, choose yourself | 08:55 |
| frame04 | haiiii | 08:56 |
| panesar | is there a way to run windows games(like nfs, max payne etc.) on ubuntu? | 08:56 |

| student | ikonia: just like this i already know the password but he change it... | 08:57 |
| Ayabara | Ali_ix: didn't do it. After completely removing everything and then reinstalling, I still don't have the "firefox" command. All I have is firefox-3.0 and firefox.ubuntu (which I know is the same app). The problem is that stuff like choosing an app to open a downloaded file with doesn't work anymore, so something fundamental must have been broken... | 08:57 |
| bazhang | !appdb | panesar check here | 08:57 |
| ubottu | panesar check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 08:57 |

| ikonia | student: speak to your teacher then | 08:57 |
| Ayabara | suspect it happened what I fiddled with both FF2 and FF3 | 08:58 |
| sokhem | Hello, where can I subscribe to ubuntu localization mailing list? | 08:58 |
| bazhang | student this is not the place for it thanks | 08:58 |
| Ali_ix | laiya: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 08:58 |
| fde | panesar: certainly autocad will work... I never looked for coreldraw . | 08:58 |
| zcat[1] | student: well, you have the answer you asked for. Up to you to decide if you're taking the right approach to the problem | 08:58 |
| Ali_ix | Ayabara: for firefox, you should use install old,stable firefox2 in repositories | 08:58 |
| Traveler1 | i need some info on where to start troubleshooting - X wont start, virtual consoles either. it just stops on a black screen, debugging mode works thowgh | 08:58 |
| cast | Ayabara: could just create a symlink to firebox.ubuntu in /usr/local/bin | 08:59 |

| fde | Ollie: glad the problem is fixed... if you'd said you wanted to run OpenSolaris or something, you wouldn't have gotten the types of responses you did, 1.6.0 basically seems to be a fix for Sun based software. | 09:00 |
| Ollie | if I'm running ubuntu x64, will virtualbox work with vista x64? | 09:00 |
| Ali_ix | Shadow420: built in (laptop) | 09:00 |
| arooni__ | Shadow420, dont know; its built into laptop | 09:00 |
| Shadow420 | Ali_ix ok | 09:00 |
| o0Chris0o | alright this is getting really annoying, each time I try to open up an text document I get an error saying "The Desktop Entry File /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop has an invalid menu entry addAsPodcast" any ideas how to stop this I have no idea why this error is happening | 09:00 |
| pequatre | hi. i need help with wicd. it let me connect to either wifi or wired connection fine but when for instance i'm connected to wifi and want to connect to the wired network it disconnects me from wifi and vice-versa. Which means each connection works fine alone but wicd won't connect me to both at the same time. Is there a workaround ? | 09:00 |
| LSD|Ninja | whenever you see someone say something "works" in Linux, take it with a grain of salt. No on reports what, if any, effort it takes for stuff to work "out of the box" :P | 09:00 |
| willem | try it in skype | 09:00 |
| bazhang | pequatre, why do you need both | 09:00 |
| fde | Ollie: as you may know, VirtualBox recently got acquired by Sun, but their software barely worked on Solaris... there is no other reason for 1.6.0 currently :) | 09:01 |
| kindofabuzz | it should be illegal to own a computer until you pas a basic test. kinda like getting your driving license (not saying that to anyone here personally, just saying) | 09:01 |
| Ayabara | cast: I created the symlink, and that actually solved everything :-) | 09:01 |
| pequatre | bazhang, i want to share my wifi on lan with firestarter | 09:01 |
| ikonia | LSD|Ninja: can you keep that sort of pointless comment for other channels, its false and not needed in thie channel | 09:01 |
| fde | Ollie: Should do, yes. | 09:01 |
| bazhang | pequatre, that is a bit complex; could you lay out precisely how to do that | 09:01 |
| fde | Ollie: You might have issues getting any sort of effects though. | 09:01 |
| Ayabara | cast: a bit weird that "open file with ..." did not find any application alternatives before I created the symlink... | 09:02 |
| cast | Ayabara: yay i helped someone | 09:02 |
| pequatre | bazhang: what do you mean ? using firestarter it's easy to share a connection (NAT). | 09:02 |
| LSD|Ninja | ikonia: That's kind a the problem. Nothing gets don and nothing gets fixed because everyone convinces themselves that it's fine and doesn't need to be fixed | 09:02 |
| arooni__ | Ali_ix, omz it works in ekiga | 09:02 |
| Ayabara | cast: you have my humble thanks :-) | 09:02 |
| ikonia | LSD|Ninja: thats your opinion, please take it to a non-support channel | 09:02 |
| bazhang | pequatre, so you know what to do then? okay then | 09:02 |
| Ali_ix | arooni__: :) any chance with chees? | 09:02 |
| arooni__ | Ali_ix, but it doesnt work with flash & http://www.testmycam.com/ | 09:02 |

| kindofabuzz | LSD|Ninja: then also you have to remember, there are 50 ways to do the same thing in linux (pretty much) | 09:03 |
| arooni__ | Ali_ix, i dont think it works iwth skype | 09:03 |
| willem | arooni, try it in amsn | 09:03 |
| LSD|Ninja | ikonia: it may be an opinion, but it's one reached after 10 years of experience | 09:03 |
| buntu | HELLO: any one can help me when i try to open the add/remove and the synaptic there is and error what should i do? | 09:03 |
| willem | or in skype | 09:03 |
| pequatre | bazhang: yes, and firestarter complains that either connection is not activated. | 09:03 |
| Ali_ix | arooni__: so drivers are ok, | 09:03 |
| ikonia | LSD|Ninja: as I said that is not appropriate as a random comment in this channel | 09:03 |
| laiya | Ali_ix: it says The samba package is not needed on clients. Install smbfs instead | 09:03 |
| arooni__ | Ali_ix, so it doesnt work with cheese | 09:03 |
| fde | LSD|Ninja: I'm sure you can hire some developers to fix the issues you believe are there... otherwise they will be fixed in the order of most importance to those that are paying. | 09:03 |
| willem | buntu, restet the computer | 09:03 |
| Ali_ix | arooni__: are you running compiz or any other compsitings? | 09:04 |
| willem | reset | 09:04 |
| arooni__ | Ali_ix, yes compiz-fusion | 09:04 |
| buntu | willem: still when i reboot it its an error also | 09:04 |
| Ali_ix | arooni_ disable it, and it will work in cheese too | 09:04 |
| pequatre | or if someone knows a way for wicd not to configure the wired connection i would set it in /etc/network/interfaces | 09:04 |
| arooni__ | Ali_ix, but i love my sexy window effects | 09:04 |
| fde | LSD|Ninja: Projects like KDE even have a voting system where users can vote on bugs and wishlist items they'd like to see worked on. | 09:04 |
| bazhang | ahh got it--disable the system beep | 09:04 |
| buntu | HELLO: any one can help me when i try to open the add/remove and the synaptic there is and error what should i do? a try to reboot it | 09:05 |
| buntu | but still | 09:05 |
| willem | How long is the ubuntu on the computer? | 09:05 |
| Ali_ix | laiya: samba is a server-client system, one o your system should install server apps and other clients, or it can be both | 09:05 |
| bazhang | buntu cannot use both at same time | 09:05 |
| willem | on your computer? | 09:05 |
| harris | whats the equivalent of drive C(?) of windows in Linux? | 09:05 |
| LSD|Ninja | fde: there's not enough input from the common user for anythign like that to ever be truly effective | 09:05 |
| Joe__ | whatever you make it | 09:05 |
| buntu | willem: i month | 09:05 |

| Ali_ix | buntu: what is error message? | 09:06 |
| === Neotism is now known as N|x_x|m | ||
| fde | LSD|Ninja: You think there is more input from users for things like Windows? Users can at least file bugs and put their feelings directly to the developer. | 09:06 |
| willem | I think you better go to the forum of ubuntu, there are the spevcialists | 09:06 |
| Shadow420 | buntu whats our issue? | 09:06 |

| Ali_ix | arooni__: i have seen this issue since early gutsy, i hpope to be fixed soon | 09:06 |
| patifa | harris: "/" is equivilant to "My Computer" in windows, at best. "C:" refers to a partition, which can be located anywhere in a linux file system. | 09:06 |
| buntu | bazhang: ok i only use one | 09:07 |

| blame | neil_d: I believe I've made that clear already. Anyway, My ISP aren't using reverse DNS on the IP which they gave me. If you dns my IP it will return nothing. Now my question is - can I launch DNS server and have my domain name pointed at my IP address to utilize reverse dns on my domain name with the IP from ISP. | 09:23 |
| buntu | bazhang : still not work... | 09:23 |
| bazhang | buntu please be patient | 09:23 |
| bain | m0u5e: my understanding is that apt-build is used to build sources of a ubuntu package. So you'll need a source package installed of the application you want to compile | 09:23 |
| bain | m0u5e: it's not used to compile normal sources of an application | 09:23 |

| olskolirc | how do i uninstall this hardy heron and go back to Gutsy Gibbons please? | 09:24 |
| buntu | bazhang : heres the error: The list of sources could not be read | 09:24 |
| m0u5e | bain: i mean is there a way I can download all the source files, but not install it, and when I call ./configure from whatever dir of what I want to install, have ./configure use the stuff that I previously downloaded in apt-build? | 09:24 |
| harris | bazhang: so Shadow said i must use gparted to make a partition.... so i make a 28 GB partition ext3 | 09:24 |
| FriedCPU | blame: your isp still needs to put in a record on the IP itself, and then yes you just add an A record on your domain pointed to your ip. and the domain would be what yo utold your isp to put in the RDNS record on the IP | 09:24 |
| bazhang | harris this is only a day old? | 09:24 |
| buntu | bazhang : heres the error: The list of sources could not be read | 09:25 |
| harris | bazhang: yupyup one day old.... | 09:25 |
| m0u5e | bain: or how bout apt-get --build-dep w/ --download? | 09:25 |
| buntu | wellim: heres the error: The list of sources could not be read | 09:25 |
| bazhang | harris you might want to wipe it and start over-->that is a mighty small / partition imo | 09:25 |
| olskolirc | how do i uninstall this hardy heron and go back to Gutsy Gibbons please? | 09:25 |
| bain | m0u5e: I have no experiance with apt-build .. so I'm not clear on ity's uses .. | 09:25 |

| buntu | bazhang can you remote? me? | 09:26 |
| harris | bazhang: wow! can i still hmmmmm at least backup my files to my other hard disk is it okay? | 09:26 |
| buntu | ANYONE: can remote to me? | 09:26 |
| m0u5e | harris: bazhang: agreed | 09:26 |
| bain | m0u5e: my understanding of the man page apt-build is used to download and recompile .deb packages according to your architechtural needs. hence it cannot resolve dependancies of a source package that is not in the ubuntu package list | 09:26 |
| bazhang | olskolirc, fresh install | 09:26 |
| bazhang | harris yes | 09:26 |
| blame | FriedCPU: Is there a way to circumvent my ISP and have my own DNS do that? Make NS and all. | 09:27 |
| buntu | ANYONE: can remote to my computer? | 09:27 |
| m0u5e | harris: i agree with bazhang, just go ahead and wipe :), if you really want you could set up a new partition and copy over your /home/ to it, then when you reformat set that partiion to be your home | 09:27 |
| buntu | ANYONE: can remote to me? | 09:27 |
| harris | so bazhang the next tym I format it I must put a bigger size of /root.... maybe 30 Gb and 256 for my swap | 09:27 |

| bazhang | harris not that big unless you want to install every ubuntu package ;] | 09:27 |
| emma | bain, how about apt-cache showpkg packagename | 09:28 |
| Y-Town | harris: Are you running dual boot or anything? | 09:28 |
| emma | I think that might show you all the dependencies (installed or not) | 09:28 |

| bain | m0u5e: so the package you're trying to compile is NOT in the package tree since the version is incorrect. hence you're trying to compile a packge outside the apt system. | 09:31 |

| olskolirc | totally suxor that they would release this now | 09:32 |
| paki_31m_khobar | kyncani: would be nice if you could tell me wat it does? | 09:32 |
| bain | what you "could" do is "apt-get source <package-name>" which will install all the source packages deps as well as the source of th application you want to compile ... | 09:32 |
| IIIIIIIIII | kyncani the prob is some stuff like aticonfig is terminal based and once changes happen how do you undo it? | 09:32 |

| Stormcr0w | Hello everyone! Is there a possibility to activate an automatic control of cpu power in Ubuntu (i.e. when CPU is not needed, then the frequencey goes down), etc? | 09:37 |
| IntangibleLiquid | m0u5e, is that the manager? | 09:37 |
| kyncani | cableroy: many people (but not me). It's been reported as a launchpad bug. Look for "firefox sqlite cache". | 09:37 |
| m0u5e | IntangibleLiquid: it's everything, the manager and basic screenlets | 09:38 |
| Stormcr0w | CPU scaling, I mean | 09:38 |
| erUSUL | Stormcr0w: in my Amd X2 that work by default (i have freq scaling) | 09:38 |

| kyncani | cableroy: np :) | 09:38 |
| erUSUL | Stormcr0w: what cpu do you have? can you post the output of cpufreq-info?? | 09:39 |
| emma | I think in practice you find out the dependencies you may still be needing when you run the ./configure | 09:39 |
| kindofabuzz | Stormcr0w: right click panel, add to panel, then drag Inhibit applet to your panel | 09:39 |

| noob-africa_ | i have a Thunderbird related problem. can anyone help me through it? | 09:41 |
| emma | m0u5e, I think if you are compiling from source, something that's in the repositories then you could use apt-cache showpkg packagename to find the dependencies. I think that in practice, if you are compiling something not in the respositories, you run the ./configure and you learn about missing dependencies from any possible error messages. You just take care of them before running the make. | 09:41 |

| erUSUL | noob-africa_: yes; pretty much as usual thanks :) | 09:42 |
| m0u5e | emma: no yeah, i already ran ./configure, thats usually how I resolve deps, I was just curious if there was a more convenient way | 09:42 |

| kyncani | askvictor: if you can, i expect the feature to be in the alternate install cd only | 09:44 |
| m0u5e | harris: unless you plan to install windows games via wine directly to / i don't see why you would ever need more than 20gigs | 09:44 |
| m0u5e | erUSUL: have any comparisons between thunderbird and evolution? :) | 09:45 |
| bazhang | harris 10 for / 1GB swap the rest for /home | 09:45 |
| noob-africa_ | erUSUL: i ran terminal command "ls-alh | grep .thunderbird" and got the reply "bash: ls-als command not found". why? | 09:45 |
| m0u5e | harris: if you have 30gb, i would recommend 8-10gb for / and rest for /home | 09:45 |

| hardff | well that is a bucket of coolness | 09:51 |
| m0u5e | arooni__: mplayer_rc2 has a bug though, that uses incorrect gnome URI file handlers, so you have to have it run with not mplayer from the list but rather a custom program, "gmplayer %U" | 09:51 |

| noob-africa_ | erUSUL: what is the chown syntax for that? | 09:52 |
| adam7 | I'm using PulseAudio and Hardy, and I'm getting no sound out of my speakers. The hardware side works fine; sound plays in XP. It *was* working in Ubuntu until just recently, so I'm a bit mystified as to where it might have gone... I've got an Intel Azalia card, and the PulseAudio playback monitor shows that sound is being played by the applications, but all I hear out of the speakers is a bit of static. | 09:52 |
| erUSUL | Stormcr0w: if you haven't added the acpi=off boot option then you are ok i guess | 09:52 |
| emma | It is recommended that you use checkinstall when compiling from source, because it will make removing the application easier if necessary. | 09:53 |
| fde | N1N31NCHN41L6: In fact, that package is explicitly _not_ supported. | 09:53 |

| Ubunt1 | hello | 09:54 |

| N1N31NCHN41L6 | it is | 09:54 |
| askvictor | Nevstah: but not always, check the Makefile. Things from source tend to install to /usr/local and if they don't you can usually force them to, so they tend not to get in the way of the rest of the system | 09:54 |

| fde | hellow: module-assistant only works if the maintainer of the module has set up helpers in the package... in the case of gspca-source, they have, however it that was going to help, the module would be loaded already. | 10:42 |
| fde | however if* | 10:42 |
| hellow | hmm | 10:42 |
| oxtail | kyncani: also checked out gentoo but nothing there that worked either | 10:42 |
| hellow | so what does m-a a-i do me? | 10:42 |
| chrissy_ | Hey Ubuntu, heres a important question. Is it sad that my favorite feature of ubuntu is the wiggly windows? | 10:42 |
| fde | hellow: 'lsmod | grep gspca' with the cam plugged in to see whether it has. | 10:43 |
| Ali_ix | chrissy_: you mean compiz effects? | 10:43 |
| fde | hellow: in this case, nothing, as Ubuntu provides it compiled. | 10:43 |
| hellow | lsmod | grep gspca returns nothing.. hmm | 10:43 |
| kyncani | oxtail: i would check out with hardy live cd, if it works, a reinstall may be the quickest way to have sound working, if not, well, that's just too bad and you may or may not try debian sid | 10:43 |
| fde | hellow: then gspca doesn't support your cam ;) | 10:43 |
| chrissy_ | i would imagine, as I'm no where near a experinced user I know them by the most technical for terms "Wiggly Windows Yay" | 10:43 |

| hellow | fde: "hellow: gspca is in the ubuntu kernel already, so that's not your solution... but if you install 'module-assistant' you can do 'm-a a-i <module>'" that was the only reason i asked why m-a a-i would help me. i guess i was confused about the necessity of using that for gspca. meh... | 10:45 |

| joaopinto | colin_, there is a repository for wine, to get the latest versions, check the winehq page | 10:45 |
| fde | hellow: see the first statement there. | 10:45 |
| roachmmflhyr | fde, i know this | 10:46 |
| colin_ | ive tried ubuntu wont install the ones from wine hq | 10:46 |
| kippi | hey | 10:46 |
| colin_ | it will only install wine from the synaptic | 10:46 |
| fde | roachmmflhyr: Then don't make comments to the effect that we should be giving you more attention. | 10:46 |
| emma | colin_, I think that wine has it's own repository. You may want to go to the wine website and look at how to add it to your software sources list. | 10:46 |
| colin_ | oh | 10:46 |
| emma | colin_, then you should be able to install the latest version with apt-get install. | 10:46 |
| kyncani | colin_: stick with 0.9.59 if you can, otherwise, it involves installing something else than hardy, compiling wine yourself or using some third party repository. | 10:46 |
| adam7 | roachmmflhyr, you might want to try in a samba channel | 10:46 |
| meer_mortal | colin - what emma said | 10:46 |
| joaopinto | colin_, synaptic will get the packages from what repositories you have configured, I am not 100% sure that there is a repository for Hardy | 10:47 |

I get all kinds of funky color lines on my system and anything but a usable desktop to make some partitions. I used to set the driver to vesa in xorg.conf, but there is no option for that now.

| matg | hi again | 10:58 |
| hellow | Ok, well it's difficult to explain to someone that hasn't used it. Basically, instead of maximizing the window, it measures the contents of teh window and resizes it to no more than that amoount. | 10:58 |
| digitaldildo | DCC SEND /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ | 10:58 |

| suxxor | what`s that mean | 11:00 |
| kippi | Ali_ix: do i still need to do this in 8.04 ? | 11:00 |

| adam7 | suxxor, it looks like a normal message - your thing should be compiled | 11:00 |
| hellow | It's teh *3rd* button of only 3 buttons prominently featured in every os-x window... it's odd nobody has emulated this smart maximize / "Zoom" feature for window management yet. | 11:00 |
| joaopinto | and why are you trying to build gdb ? | 11:00 |
| studente | hellow: How do you know that? | 11:01 |
| hellow | Though it is rather complex how it's done, so I do understand it... | 11:01 |
| Ali_ix | kippi: try fglrx-control first, if it didnt work, you should look for some how to in wiki/forums | 11:01 |
| suxxor | looks like but when i execute make install | 11:01 |
| colin_ | is that for an ati card | 11:01 |
| hellow | know what? | 11:01 |
| suxxor | the packages doesn`t install | 11:01 |
| studente | hellow: how to help you etc... | 11:01 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, gdb is avaialble from the repositories, you should use it instead | 11:01 |

| hellow | studente: you're insane. my question was regarding emulating a core function of another OS on ubuntu. that's ubuntu related. just because you don't have an answer, means i'd rather not hear advise from you. thanks tho.. | 11:02 |
| studente | adam7: Sorry, but the link you gave me does't have any info about Macs | 11:03 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: are You there?, yes, both of the kernel's are my options | 11:03 |
| suxxor | joaopinto shall it works i want to see assembly language on linux | 11:03 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, there is no advantage on building gdb by your own, the packages are available to make your life easier | 11:03 |
| adam7 | studente, sorry -- it's just the standard hardware page :) I'm sure people have done it though | 11:03 |
| joaopinto | I have never used gdb for assembly debugging, but yes I assume it can be done with the standard gdb | 11:04 |
| studente | adam7: Are you sure? | 11:04 |
| julioh | esos | 11:04 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: then choose the latest | 11:04 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, sudo apt-get install gdb | 11:04 |
| xd_ | can I connect to normal SIP Accounts with ekiga, or is this proprietary only for ekiga servers ?# | 11:04 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: i mean 2.6.24-16 | 11:04 |
| adam7 | studente, if it is intel based, then ubuntu will run -- try the livecd if you aren't sure | 11:04 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: OK, I'll try just that | 11:04 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya all.. just done a dist-upgrade to 8.04. what is pinot, and why is pinot-dbus-daemon eating my machine up (1.6 GB RES, using 100% of cpu often) | 11:05 |
| fde | xd_: nothing about SIP is proprietary... | 11:05 |
| studente | adam7: Uhm...Live cd ...sure but for Mac heh | 11:05 |
| studente | hellow: Do you know where the Mac channel is? | 11:05 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: that's clear | 11:05 |
| xugaoxiang | oh | 11:05 |
| suxxor | joaopinto it looks like it is install "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." | 11:06 |
| adam7 | studente, if the Mac is Intel based, then you just need the x86 livecd if you want to run Ubuntu | 11:06 |
| xd_ | fde: you mean every programm, which is able to handle SIP can connect to every SIP service Provider ?# | 11:06 |
| Ali_ix | studente: try /chanserv list *mac* | 11:06 |
| suxxor | how to start it | 11:06 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, so it is already installed | 11:06 |
| studente | hellow: I can link you to Leopard official forum too, if you want:. | 11:06 |
| suxxor | joaopinto how do i started | 11:06 |
| fde | xd_: yes... in Ekiga's case, Edit > Accounts and set it up. | 11:06 |
| xd_ | fde: ok, thanks | 11:06 |
| studente | Ali_ix: thanks | 11:06 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: no success, same problem | 11:06 |
| joaopinto | studente, could you stop being irritating, the question from hellow was on topic, he just wanted to be able to reproduce a GUI feature on Ubuntu | 11:07 |
| void^ | pvh_sa|wrk: file indexer. shouldn't be installed by default, just remove it. | 11:07 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | void^, thanks | 11:07 |
| Johnny_5 | hello all | 11:07 |
| adam7 | !hi | 11:07 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 11:07 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, well, you realy need to read some tutorial/manual about gdb, gdb is a complex tool | 11:08 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: are you using compiz | 11:08 |
| Johnny_5 | i seem to have broke my video... | 11:08 |
| studente | jenda: Ok, So i must got him wrong, sorry | 11:08 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: yes | 11:08 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, man gdb (is a good start) | 11:08 |
| ledmushroom | can someone help me with gdesklets | 11:08 |
| hellow | joaopinto: thanks for the sanity check | 11:09 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: try log in by using failsafe gnome | 11:09 |
| hellow | god damn that's obnoxious of him.... | 11:09 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: right a minute | 11:09 |
| joaopinto | hellow, no one has an answer for your, let's move on ;) | 11:09 |
| Johnny_5 | i tried 2 set it to where i won't have to keep resetting the screen resolution but when i did i think i adjusted my resolution wrong | 11:10 |
| emma | hellow, relax my friend. Let's move on to something more happy. | 11:10 |
| ledmushroom | my issue with gdesklets is i have to run it from application menu every time i would like to have it there everytime i bootup | 11:10 |
| hellow | yeah, i did. i'm talking in most every other chat. i'll repost in a few hrs hopefully if theres a diff crowd here maybe | 11:10 |
| Johnny_5 | what can i do to fix it back?? | 11:10 |
| studente | bye! | 11:10 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: actually I found some error in dmesg, but it looks like they are not the causing problems | 11:10 |
| hellow | i just noticed joaopinto's resonse and was grateful was all... meh | 11:11 |
| danbhfive | hellow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX I suggest checking this page | 11:11 |
| hellow | read it | 11:11 |
| emma | hellow, what was your original question? | 11:11 |
| hellow | i appreciate it tho | 11:11 |
| hellow | emma: How to replicate the Zoom Window function prominent in osx | 11:11 |
| joaopinto | ledmushroom, System -> Preferences -> Sessions (add the gdesklets command there) | 11:11 |
| emma | hellow, -- I understand your feelings as well. | 11:11 |
| hellow | It's hard to explain to non-mac users tho | 11:11 |
| Johnny_5 | i used displayconfig-gtk | 11:11 |
| emma | Yes I'm not familiar with it myself but I will try to do some research for you. | 11:11 |
| ledmushroom | ty | 11:12 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: I don't know very well, but I had a same problem and succeeded in loging in by failsafe gnome session | 11:12 |
| hellow | See, in OS X there's three buttons prominent in every window. Close, Minimize and Zoom | 11:12 |
| danbhfive | hellow: this room is probably still not the best place for your question. This room is specifically for problems with Ubuntu. #ubuntu-offtopic is the other room for non-support related questions | 11:12 |
| joaopinto | danbhfive, is question is related to ubuntu, please read the carefull before replying | 11:13 |
| joaopinto | read it | 11:13 |
| hellow | Zoom is _not_ maximize though. It dynamically resizes the window based on it's contents. | 11:13 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: I got recovery menu, what should I choose | 11:13 |
| danbhfive | joaopinto: i did read it | 11:14 |
| DistroJockey | <hellow> read it <joaopinto> read it hmmm | 11:14 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: in failsafe gnome? | 11:14 |
| tung | choose ok | 11:14 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: yes | 11:14 |
| matg | fine, i haven't found anything in forums | 11:14 |
| carlo | Hi! I've installed first time kubunto desktop 64bit 8.04 but what's root is not accessible? | 11:14 |
| suxxor | joaopinto i hope so do you know assembly language in linux ? | 11:14 |
| hellow | Even most mac heads dont' notice that even exists. It "JustWorks(R)" (i really need to stop using that phrase!) anyhow, I'm still curious if such a thing exists in K/X/Ubuntu | 11:14 |
| matg | so i suppose it's new bug | 11:14 |
| matg | *unknown* | 11:14 |
| joaopinto | danbhfive, which part of "Is there a zoom function similar to macosx in Ubuntu?" is off-topic ? | 11:14 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: it will load the default setting then you can fix your installation | 11:14 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, not, I don't use assembly language since 10 years agos | 11:15 |
| hellow | danbhfive: is this just problems with ubuntu? i'm not trying to be an ass, I'm honestly curious. | 11:15 |
| carlo | ok tnks | 11:15 |
| hellow | I don't want to ruffle any feathers and will gladly take it to off topic if that's more useful | 11:15 |
| carlo | bye | 11:15 |
| ledmushroom | how do i know if i have the right cmd | 11:15 |
| joaopinto | hellow, the only zoom functions I am aware, are WINDOW KEY+1, WINDOW KEY+2 (compiz) | 11:15 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: can you log in now? | 11:16 |
| joaopinto | but that is screen zoom (magnifiers) | 11:16 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: i have an option to choose, one of "resume normal boot" "drp to to root shell promt" or "try to fix X server" | 11:16 |
| suxxor | joaopinto looks like you`ve got huge experience in programing | 11:16 |
| hellow | oh, yeah I use that but not screen magnification.. window zooming | 11:16 |
| emma | hellow, you might get this feature with compiz-fusion using the superkey (the windows key) + scroll wheel. | 11:16 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| adam7 | I think hellow is looking for something that will change the window size to the one most appropriate for the current window | 11:16 |
| hellow | hmm.. no, that's screen mag. tooo | 11:16 |
| Chapai | i am having a perculiar problem, when i start a game fullscreen at 1024x768 (my res) it starts as windowed and becomes inactive | 11:16 |
| hellow | adam7: yeah | 11:16 |
| emma | hellow -- Okay then I am unsure, best of luck. | 11:17 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: i guess I should choose last one | 11:17 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, yes, anyway, you should not use assembly unless you need to learn it, or you need a low level hardware function | 11:17 |
| hellow | ie clicking button = 247x245 jpg = 247x245 window size | 11:17 |
| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u | ||
| joaopinto | high level languages are more productive :P | 11:17 |
| hellow | I appreciate your response just the same emma :) | 11:17 |
| matg | it's very similar to http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/107350-gdm-problem-ubuntu-7-10-a.html | 11:17 |
| matg | or the same | 11:18 |
| kyncani | Chapai: if the game supports fullscreen (as opposed to windowed) mode, it should be in the game menu. | 11:18 |
| joaopinto | Chapai, any game or just a specific game ? | 11:18 |
| matg | my ubuntu is 8.04 | 11:18 |
| emma | yw hellow -- If you resolve your issue I would appreciate if you contact me to let me know how you did it, in case anyone else asks in the future. | 11:18 |
| suxxor | joaopinto do you use skype ? | 11:18 |
| gribouille | hi | 11:18 |
| hellow | emma, will do | 11:18 |
| gribouille | does anyone know why fr.archive.ubuntu.com is down ? | 11:18 |
| spuck | does anyone know how to get rid of those ugly scrollbars with xtightvncviewer? | 11:18 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, yes, but english is not my native lang, so let's keep the help here :P | 11:18 |
| hellow | as a matter of fact, it seems so obvious to me... i'll probably create a website for it. "OSXZOOMFORUBUNTUOMG.com" | 11:18 |
| hellow | ;) | 11:18 |
| papel | any one know whats the problem here http://wklej.org/id/c79896160e | 11:18 |
| joaopinto | gribouille, no, there are several mirrors having problems because of the high load | 11:19 |
| The_Dr | With gdesklets how do you stop the daemon showing in the panel? | 11:19 |
| Chapai | all the games i tried anyway, only 800x600 fullscreen works, kyncani joaopinto | 11:19 |
| vegombrei | bazhang: hi can i have 5 minutes of your time brother | 11:19 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:19 |
| joaopinto | papel, is that a wine output ? | 11:19 |
| papel | yes :/ | 11:19 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: did that, didn't help | 11:19 |
| gribouille | joaopinto, why not add more servers ? | 11:20 |
| joaopinto | papel, better asking on #winehq :) | 11:20 |
| papel | heh:) | 11:20 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: I'e read about it already somewhere | 11:20 |
| joaopinto | too mee it just looks hugh debug output | 11:20 |
| joaopinto | gribouille, well, don't ask me :) | 11:20 |
| suxxor | joaopinto don`t worry i am not english is not my native language , but this deter to tell me your skype account | 11:20 |
| gribouille | joaopinto, whom do I have to ask ? | 11:20 |
| emma | hellow, never having used a mac it is hard for me to say. Is this related at all -- http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Image-Galleries/Image-Effects/TJPzoom-39107.html | 11:20 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: did you reinstall xserver-xgl | 11:21 |
| * kyncani is going to play some ri-li :) | 11:21 | |
| vegombrei | i need help understanding something .,, | 11:21 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: i guess it's something deeper, maybe i can provide some log information to analize | 11:21 |
| joaopinto | gribouille, probably sending an email to an approiate mailing list, like ubuntu-devel-discuss or similar would be a proper approach | 11:21 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: should I? I can try | 11:21 |
| hellow | emma, nope | 11:21 |
| joaopinto | suxxor, :) | 11:21 |
| suxxor | joaopinto suicide .... can`t you give me your skype account or you want to save confidence | 11:21 |
| hellow | i'm setting up an osx machine right now.. if you want, you can vnc into it and i can show you (if you're interested in how the WM works in it, if not I'll bug off). | 11:22 |
| gribouille | joaopinto, I bet someone already did it | 11:22 |
| joaopinto | gribouille, yes, I read something about us.archive this morning, which is having the same issues | 11:22 |
| hellow | so long as you don't start deleting my stuff or whatever, which you won't because you seem helpful. of course, i don't want to give out my IP/vncpass in a publicly logged forumn... hmm | 11:22 |
| geert_ | Dear ubuntu people. I broke my ubuntu installation and I want to install it again. However, I have lots of data and no access to a tool like gparted (not even the gparted live cd, which keeps hanging). Is there any way I can install ubuntu, keeping my original files? | 11:23 |
| gribouille | joaopinto, but for fr.archive.ubuntu.com, it lasts since the release of hardy | 11:23 |
| joaopinto | geert_, can you mount your partitions using a LiveCD ? | 11:23 |
| emma | No I don't really want to access your system. Just contact me if you find an answer. | 11:23 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: how should I reinstall it? apt-get remove -> apt-get install | 11:23 |
| joaopinto | gribouille, same for a lot of other mirror groups wordwilde | 11:23 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: using synaptic | 11:24 |
| geert_ | joaopinto, yeah, I can reach the files | 11:24 |
| joaopinto | geert_, then you just need to copy the files to some external media | 11:24 |
| joaopinto | /home/* | 11:24 |
| beme | hey, upgrading a dapper drake to the latest ubuntu version guessing that is hardy heron, is that something that should go smooth? just some dist-upgrade stuff ? or am i better off just downloading the iso and reinstalling? | 11:24 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: i have no GUI, that's the problem, I never get the login screen | 11:24 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: that way okay if you have an internet connection | 11:24 |
| gribouille | joaopinto, it is extremely disappointing for a distro that aims to be used by as many people as possible | 11:24 |
| geert_ | joaopinto, well, good fun that'll be :P. It's about 160 gigs of school essays and C# code :P. Let alone my public_html which is crowded | 11:25 |
| joaopinto | beme, I would do a fresh clean install | 11:25 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: although i can always use console | 11:25 |
| DistroJockey | beme, do a clean install if possible | 11:25 |
| beme | i was hoping you weren't going to say that :) | 11:25 |
| joaopinto | geert_, next time make sure you create /home on a dedicated partition, that makes your life much easier on upgrades | 11:25 |
| s_spiff | anyone having weird font-rendering in the ubuntu forums? I mean the Thread subject ( in bold ) having varying sizes? | 11:25 |
| joaopinto | right now your only option is to backup your data to an external media | 11:26 |
| DistroJockey | beme, try an upgrade if you like (just have a full backup) :) | 11:26 |
| geert_ | joaopinto, Guess I learned my lesson then | 11:26 |
| holyguyver_ | Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? | 11:26 |
| geert_ | oh, and a propos, gparted is running "e2fsck". Is it normal that I have to wait a darn long time? | 11:26 |
| joaopinto | s_spiff, I have weird font-rendering since the upgrade to hardy, my fix was to change ff to no let site's define their own fonts | 11:26 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: i have no package installed by the name xserver-xgl | 11:27 |
| beme | DistroJockey, yeah i'm already a follower of the backup faith, | 11:27 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: although there are xserver-xorg | 11:27 |
| joaopinto | geert_, well, if your partition has problems, your probably should run fsck from the command line instead, to check for errors and required actions | 11:27 |
| s_spiff | joaopinto: weird. this started today for me. Wondering why? | 11:27 |
| holyguyver_ | 11:27 | |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 11:27 |
| joaopinto | instead of using gparted | 11:27 |
| rich_ | hi im trying to sync my ipod in ubuntu, i have banshee installed but it doesnt appear. i also get device is in use when trying to manually mount it | 11:27 |
| DistroJockey | beme, :) | 11:27 |
| danbhfive | emma: hellow: http://www.xvsxp.com/interface/max_vs_zoom.php | 11:27 |
| emma | CantLoginAfterUp, sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 11:27 |
| joaopinto | s_spiff, that is odd :( | 11:27 |
| geert_ | joaopinto, I don't think there are problems. At leat, I hope so. | 11:27 |
| joaopinto | geert_, check them anyway :) | 11:28 |
| Nicola1 | hi, is there a way to let apt automatically install the "suggested" and "recommended" packages, too? | 11:28 |
| === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master | ||
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: you have to install xserver-xgl to work well with compiz | 11:28 |
| s_spiff | joaopinto: maybe a restart of X may solve it.. lemme try. brb | 11:28 |
| holyguyver_ | Nicola1 yes there is but I forgot what the cammand was | 11:28 |
| joaopinto | Nicola1, you can use aptitude... | 11:29 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: that' s weird, did you update | 11:29 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: yes, everything is up to date, now I just installed the package You mentioned, and rebooted | 11:30 |
| hellow | danbhfive, that doesn't' offer any pictures of zoomed windows but itunes compact player | 11:30 |
| fde | Nicola1: holyguyver_ is mistaken, you cannot take advantage of those fields via apt | 11:30 |
| hellow | too bad, that mini-mode pic is completely different behavior than observed in every other window. | 11:30 |
| hellow | that description seems good tho | 11:30 |
| s_spiff | it worked! my fonts are back to normal! | 11:30 |
| holyguyver_ | fde I am pretty sure I have done it in the terminal before though. | 11:31 |
| J_t_M | I don't suppose anyone knows whether there's a version of apr_dbd_mysql for Ubuntu in the repos? I've done apt-cache search dbd_mysql which turns up nothing, and apt-cache search dbd which turns up a whole lot, but not much to do with apache's authn_dbd driver for MySQL. I have seen this http://bahumbug.wordpress.com/2006/12/18/apacheaprmysql-packaging/ but it seems to be about Debian rather than Ubuntu. | 11:31 |
| fde | holyguyver_: nope... via aptitude, yes | 11:31 |
| holyguyver_ | interesting | 11:31 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: did something go wrong when you upgrade to heron | 11:31 |
| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: I mean internet interruption | 11:32 |
| holyguyver_ | fde could you possibly help me? as stated mmy issue is: Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? | 11:32 |

| holyguyver_ | fde I have never printed to a printer on/using linux | 11:34 |
| vegombrei | ok .. how do i do this .. Just change the line for the drive in /etc/fstab so that it is mounted in read/write mode: | 11:34 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: that's my work PC, and I left it for upgrading for a weekend | 11:34 |
| J_t_M | vegombrei: Which drive? | 11:34 |
| ShredZ | if I forward a port with iptables it shows up on nmap as filtered, but it doesn't actually work. Any ideas ? | 11:34 |
| vegombrei | fde: i donno .. i just have the one .. | 11:34 |
| vegombrei | fde: dvd-ram drive | 11:35 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: but despite that, everything went just great, no problems were announced | 11:35 |
| fde | holyguyver_: I've had no experience setting them up really... every printer I've tried has just worked out of the box with the openprinting.org stuff. | 11:35 |
| holyguyver_ | fde I have never heard of openprinting.org before | 11:35 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: and yet again the package installation didn't help | 11:35 |
| fde | vegombrei: the DVD-RW will mount when you put it in the drive... just drag and drop things to the window in Gnome. | 11:36 |
| vegombrei | fde: i been reading up on solutions on how to use a dvd-ram disc in ubuntu and i found a forum where someone's fixed the similar problem i have .. however im new to linux and ubuntu so i dont actually understand how to do that | 11:36 |
| fde | holyguyver_: apt-cache search openprinting ... or go to openprinting.org | 11:36 |
| vegombrei | fde: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11513 | 11:37 |

| tung | CantLoginAfterUp: I remove xserver-xgl to disable compiz | 11:40 |

| fde | holyguyver_: Then I have no experience... | 11:40 |
| Johnny_5 | i used displayconfig-gtk to adjust my screen resolution so that i wouldn't have to keep adjusting it every time i logged in...now my resolution is off & everything is blurry in my gui... | 11:41 |
| fde | holyguyver_: you should probably go to a store and get a USB PCI card for like $10 and join the 21st century. | 11:41 |
| CantLoginAfterUp | tung: so I should try to remove compiz too? but as I understand, compiz is not loaded before the login window is shown? | 11:41 |

| === Neotism is now known as Auroch | ||
| rich_ | I might try hardy and see if it fixes the USB bugs. | 11:44 |
| krimson | I am running 8.10 | 11:44 |
| holyguyver_ | Johnny_5 there should be some sort of contral panel thing that gives you that option | 11:44 |
| ikt | 8.04 ^ | 11:44 |
| fde | krimson: no you're not... it's not october yet. | 11:44 |

| krimson | Next to the latte machine. | 11:46 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | I love how the windows wobble around and you can drag them around in a fancy fashion. | 11:46 |
| fde | krimson: Ubuntu versioning is based on date not traditional numbering... 7.10 was October 07 ... hardy is 8.04, April 08 | 11:46 |
| ikt | trying to get postfix working, if I telnet localhost 25 it works fine, if I do telnet example.com(my domain) 25 it immedietly says connection refused, any ideas? | 11:46 |

| Nicola1 | holyguyver, joaopinto, fde: looking into the manpage of 'aptitude' gives me '--with-recommends', corresponding to the apt-setting 'Aptitude::Recommends-Important'. But where to set this? There's no '/etc/apt/apt.conf', just a '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d' in ubuntu | 11:46 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Ah the contents of the windows update in real time! :-) | 11:46 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | s/Ah/And/ | 11:46 |
| fde | krimson: it's always X.XX though | 11:46 |
| krimson | Thanks FDE | 11:47 |
| Johnny_5 | i can't seem to be able to figure this one out on my own... no i'm still running 7.10 | 11:47 |
| joaopinto | NiceIce, you just need to create a file with that option under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 11:47 |
| beme | dsffdsffdsfdd, yes the compositing gets us the necessary bling ;-) | 11:47 |
| joaopinto | erm, was Nicola1 | 11:47 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Composting. :S | 11:47 |
| fde | Nicola1: apt-get -o ... seems a pain to type though :/ | 11:47 |
| fde | Nicola1: or /etc/apt/apt.conf | 11:47 |
| Johnny_5 | is there something i can do in the comand line to fix the problem? | 11:48 |
| Nicola1 | fde: may i just create one or will i break some ubuntu stuff? | 11:48 |
| krimson | So how do I go about mounting my iPod with a manual command? I know my iPod shows up in /media/<name> and also on the desktop | 11:48 |
| SlimThug875__ | i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? | 11:48 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | I'm sure there was a good reason for this, but how come Evolution Mail was bundeled instead of Thunderbird? | 11:48 |
| fde | Nicola1: It should be there? It will break nothing if you add it though. | 11:48 |
| krimson | Because I hate thunderbird. | 11:48 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | krimson is the Ubuntu decider? :S | 11:49 |
| SlimThug875__ | i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? | 11:49 |
| beme | dsffdsffdsfdd, evolution integrates better with the gnome desktop env | 11:49 |
| krimson | It stops working for me after about two minutes. The whole thing freezes. | 11:49 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: Evolution is part of Gnome, and Thunderbird is poorly supported upstream (hopefully that situation is going to get better with Mozilla Messaging taking over) | 11:49 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Ah... | 11:49 |
| SlimThug875__ | ? | 11:49 |
| krimson | Amen FDE | 11:49 |
| acuster | hey all, on an x64 machine, I just upgraded from 2GB to 4GB and ubuntu only recognizes 3.8. Anyone have pointers to info or keywords for a search on the issue? | 11:49 |
| armadill0 | Is there a CPAN like program for Python that can be found in the ubuntu repos? | 11:49 |
| Johnny_5 | where is all the screen resolutions in 7.10 @?? can i fix my problem from there? | 11:50 |
| SlimThug875__ | i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? | 11:50 |
| beme | that said, it takes only a few seconds to get thunderbird, though one might indeed argue the support is second rate due to mozilla being more focussed on firefox | 11:50 |
| * fde prefers Thunderbird over Evolution, but the reasoning is sound for installing Evolution by default. | 11:50 | |
| Rampage | Hi, I am having some trouble with video's in Ubuntu. Every now and again it seems to break and displays video in black and white. Is there something I might be doing that is making this happen? | 11:50 |
| krimson | Acuster, that sounds about right to me. You usually don't get all of your memory. | 11:50 |
| Nicola1 | fde: thank you very much. No it isn't there. Where can i read sth. about /etc/apt/apt.conf.d? Is this Ubuntu-specific? | 11:50 |
| flotishu | firestarter problem since i removed it , then instaled kmyfirewall. removed it. and reinstalled firestarter. http://pastebin.com/m723ea818 some apps like firefox or etherape are not runing too. help? | 11:50 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | The wobbling (most advanced graphics setting) seems to work great on my laptop (my only computer). However, "internal" graphics elements such as scroll bars or panes that you can resize seem to lag and jerk around quite a bit when you try to drag them smoothly. | 11:50 |
| acuster | krimson, yeah, I heard about this, any way I can find out why? | 11:50 |
| krimson | Does anyone know how to mount an iPod in Amarok | 11:51 |
| acuster | as in, if a recompile of the kernel fixes things | 11:51 |
| Johnny_5 | can anybody help me fix my screen resolution from the comand line in gutsy? | 11:51 |
| krimson | Acuster, because the software needed to run/plug-n-play/etc. the device is kept on the device. | 11:51 |
| fde | Nicola1: They are trying to modularize everything, but the file itself will still work... (similarly, there is now /etc/apt/sources.list.d to define each repo in a separate file) | 11:51 |
| joaopinto | acuster, are you using Ubuntu 32bits ? | 11:51 |
| krimson | It's nothing you'll be able to fix. | 11:51 |
| krimson | I think | 11:52 |
| acuster | joaopinto, no | 11:52 |
| oxtail | kyncani: ok thanks, it's a known issue with this kernel i think, do you have the hda intel sound chip working with hardy? | 11:52 |
| krimson | (not an expert) | 11:52 |
| acuster | thanks both | 11:52 |
| gypsymauro | how can I know how many files there are in a tree of directories? | 11:52 |

| joaopinto | gypsymauro, find /path -print | wc -l | 11:52 |
| fde | vegombrei: yes | 11:52 |
| krimson | What is the usual mount command? | 11:52 |
| vegombrei | fde: i need to change the line for the drive in /etc/fstab so that it is mounted in read/write mode ... how do i do that ?? | 11:52 |
| kyncani | oxtail: well, i don't have a t61 | 11:53 |
| joaopinto | krimson, mount device mountpoint | 11:53 |
| gypsymauro | tanx | 11:53 |
| krimson | mount device mountpoint? | 11:53 |
| Johnny_5 | so i might as well do a reinstall? | 11:53 |
| joaopinto | vegombrei, you go to the intended line, and make sur eit has "rw" on the options | 11:53 |
| SlimThug875__ | i need expert help!! | 11:53 |
| fde | vegombrei: you wouldn't change it there. drives are mounted ro initially to run a fsck, then mounted rw after.. you don't want to change that. | 11:53 |
| SlimThug875__ | i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? | 11:53 |
| gypsymauro | tanx joaopinto | 11:53 |
| fde | SlimThug875__: depends, can you ask the question? | 11:54 |
| SlimThug875__ | yes | 11:54 |
| fde | SlimThug875__: then do it | 11:54 |

| ubottu | Chiselhuk_Plus1: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:59 |
| joaopinto | it's a segmentation fault, and it means a program crashed, usually due to a bug, or an unexpected error condition | 11:59 |

| hischild | !gksudo | fde | 12:00 |
| ubottu | fde: 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) | 12:00 |

| fde | nikos_1992: beryl is dead... | 12:02 |
| hischild | fde: read the side effects it can have. I didn't say it wouldn't work. I didn't say it'll always give you those effects. However, it CAN have things like no more login etc. | 12:02 |
| krimson | OK, say I wanted to mount /media/disk, what is the command I need? | 12:02 |
| nikos_1992 | what>? | 12:03 |
| hischild | !beryl | nikos_1992 | 12:03 |

| mr_boo | i'm downloading hardy now | 12:04 |
| hischild | fde: i'm not saying you're wrong or that it won't work. But i have seen examples of ppl running firefox as root cuz it wouldn't install something. Laugh at it, but do that with sudo and you can have a major breakdown on ur hands. ;-) | 12:04 |

| hischild | fde: we've both seen those more then enough ;-) | 12:04 |
| mr_boo | is it possible to upgrade ubuntu with the hardy live cd? | 12:05 |
| joaopinto | !best | dsffdsffdsfdd | 12:05 |
| ubottu | dsffdsffdsfdd: 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. | 12:05 |
| joaopinto | !virtualization | dserban | 12:05 |
| ubottu | dserban: 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 | 12:05 |

| hischild | fde: i am well aware that some of those examples are quite stupid when you actually do them. But remember: the people here, with all due respect, sometimes don't have a clue what the commands do we suggest here. | 12:06 |
| joaopinto | Chipsa964, on nautilus, pess CTRL-H, on the directory the db is located | 12:06 |
| fde | vegombrei: show me your fstab via pastebin please | 12:06 |
| fde | !paste | vegombrei | 12:06 |
| ubottu | vegombrei: 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) | 12:06 |
| mr_boo | is it a good idea to upgrade to hardy with the live cd? | 12:06 |
| vegombrei | fde: how do i do that ? | 12:06 |
| hischild | fde, vegombrei sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit | 12:06 |
| vegombrei | fde: whats pastebin ? | 12:06 |
| fde | hischild: I am not telling them things that won't work, and users that would do that wouldn't remember. | 12:06 |
| fde | vegombrei: see what ubottu said | 12:07 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | joaopinto: My system seems to be quite unstable of late....Firefox crashes loads and just this morning my update manager crashed 'n not even system monitor could kill it! | 12:07 |

| itai-michaelson | hi - anyone knows hoe to install skype on Dapper? | 12:07 |
| adam_ | write as image | 12:07 |
| selanit | Hey-o. Is there any way to get the gnome-system-monitor to display a little graph of CPU usage as an icon in the panel at the top right? | 12:07 |
| vegombrei | fde: already did .. now how do i paste what u need to see in there ? | 12:07 |
| joaopinto | selanit, just add a system monitor applet, and configure it to show the cpu usage | 12:08 |
| fde | vegombrei: just copy and paste... hit "Paste it" or whatever, and tell me the resulting URL | 12:08 |
| askand | When I have firefox open and start rhythmbox and try to play a song it doesnt work. If I close firefox, play, and opens firefox after that it works...can someone confirm this bug? | 12:08 |
| krimson | Rhythmbox shuts down as soon as I plug in my iPod. | 12:09 |
| krimson | =/ | 12:09 |
| fde | askand: It'll only happen when on a flash based page or other media... it is known as such plugins don't honor pulseaudio. | 12:09 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | What was the name of that fancy Windows Live Messenger alternative for Ubuntu again? The one that supported Web camera and stuff? | 12:09 |
| adam_ | #ubuntu | 12:09 |
| axisys | !media | 12:09 |
| 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 | 12:09 |
| askand | fde: do you know a link to a bugreport about that? | 12:09 |
| askand | dsffdsffdsfdd: amsn | 12:10 |
| vegombrei | fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11093/ | 12:10 |
| selanit | joaopinto: Okay; how do I do that? I tried right-clicking the system monitor icon in the System menu and selecting "Add to Panel", but that just adds a launcher icon. I looked around the system monitor UI, but didn't find an "add applet" button or equivalent. | 12:10 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Why does the little trash can icon in the lower right corner always say "1 item" regardless of how many items (or none) there actually are inside of it? | 12:11 |
| joaopinto | selanit, on the panel, Right Click -> Add To Panel -> Select the system monitor applet | 12:11 |
| fde | vegombrei: ok... where it says udf,iso9660 on line 9... type ',rw' without spaces (there should still be a space though between rw and user) | 12:11 |
| * fde really wishes Ubuntu had a GUI tool for editing FSTAB | 12:11 | |
| Evert | hi i have ubuntu 7.10 server and it crashes every day around the same time, i couldnt find any possible cronjobs and in the logs i found nothing special. What should i do? | 12:11 |
| joaopinto | Evert, upgrade to hardy :D | 12:12 |
| fde | askand: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libflashsupport/+bug/183917 this is an example of the reverse... same issue. | 12:12 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 183917 in libflashsupport "Sound stops working in Firefox once other applications (Pidgin, Rhythmbox) have played sound" [Low,Confirmed] | 12:12 |
| Evert | joapinto, and if i woulndt want that? | 12:12 |
| askand | fde thanks | 12:12 |
| ikt | what do you mean crashing? | 12:13 |
| itai-michaelson | . | 12:13 |
| selanit | joaopinto: Ahhhh. I see! Thank you. Not an easily discoverable approach, but it gets the job done. | 12:13 |
| KR-data | is there anyone who can recommend a program for sound editing, it has to support "layers" (like in Gimp) | 12:13 |
| Evert | @ikt. i cant do anything @ ubuntu and i cant reach it by for example ssh | 12:13 |
| ikt | ah ok | 12:13 |
| Evert | or vmware server console | 12:13 |
| Evert | but it has good ms when i ping it | 12:14 |

| olskolirc | I uninstalled mozilla and mozilla-firefox. how do i purge all the config files now please? | 12:15 |
| krimson | Does the window wobble get old? | 12:15 |
| TheLive1 | hi. how can i get to command prompt after a reboot? | 12:15 |
| European-African | hey guys, are there any probs with hardy, like is it cutting edge so it still has bugs? | 12:15 |
| fde | krimson: very... compiz as a whole really. | 12:15 |
| ikt | yeah lots of bugs, wait for .1 | 12:15 |
| KR-data | olskolirc, rm -rf ~/.mozilla but be careful with that command | 12:15 |
| krimson | LOL | 12:15 |
| krimson | How do i get a konsole window? | 12:16 |
| European-African | ikt: what sort of probs? | 12:16 |
| cast | dare i suggest mv ~/.mozilla ~/old.mozilla | 12:16 |
| olskolirc | ohhh ok thaks KR-data | 12:16 |
| fde | krimson: Applications > Accessories > Terminal | 12:16 |
| krimson | thx | 12:16 |
| vegombrei | fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11094/ | 12:16 |
| KR-data | olskolirc, if you got thunderbird or other mozilla apps, you might delete their configs too | 12:16 |
| fde | vegombrei: yup | 12:16 |
| vegombrei | fde: did i do the right thing ? | 12:16 |
| ikt | wireless, graphics card drivers, x.org, vnc/rdp, firefox off the top of my head >.> | 12:16 |
| KR-data | olskolirc, and I think you should read the suggestion by case_ | 12:16 |
| KR-data | not case_ but cast | 12:16 |
| fde | vegombrei: yes... else I'd have said 'no, <explanation>' ;) | 12:17 |
| olskolirc | who is case_ ? | 12:17 |
| olskolirc | i don't see case_ text | 12:17 |
| vegombrei | fde: :) thanks bro .. you were a great help | 12:17 |
| KR-data | olskolirc, I wrote "not case_ but cast" right after ;) | 12:17 |
| European-African | ikt: ok thanx, was just about to upgrade to it. thank god i didn't. | 12:17 |
| vegombrei | fde: you think i can write dvd-ram discs now that ive done this ? | 12:17 |
| fde | vegombrei: you can now 'umount /dev/scd0' and 'mount -a' | 12:17 |
| fde | vegombrei: then you should be able to | 12:17 |
| case_ | ??? >_< :D | 12:17 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Hmm... aMSN is ugly as sin, but seems to be working better than Pidgin. | 12:18 |
| KR-data | case_, hit the wrong nick with autocompletion, sorry | 12:18 |
| case_ | no problem :) | 12:18 |
| KR-data | olskolirc, <cast> dare i suggest mv ~/.mozilla ~/old.mozilla | 12:18 |
| mr_boo | does it matter if i upgrade with live cd or from update manager? | 12:18 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: heh... only reason it's on my system... friends complain when they can't send webcam or voice clips or dumb drawings, so I have aMSN around just for that stuff. | 12:18 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: it also takes about 3x as much RAM though | 12:19 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | :( | 12:19 |
| joaopinto | does the current amsn version from the repositories properly supports webcam ? | 12:19 |
| fde | (9mb vs 30mb here) | 12:19 |
| krimson | Oh come on! Now it's working again and I didn't do a damned thing! | 12:19 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Kind of sad that the Web camera ability in Windows Live Messenger was what held me away from switching to Ubuntu! | 12:19 |
| fde | joaopinto: ime, yes | 12:19 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | MS has their way of locking you in in the most obscure ways... | 12:19 |
| vegombrei | fde: vegombrei@Ubuntu:~$ unmount /dev/scd0 | 12:19 |
| vegombrei | bash: unmount: command not found | 12:19 |
| Drugon | umount | 12:19 |
| joaopinto | ok, i need to test it | 12:20 |
| KR-data | dsffdsffdsfdd, I think I saw something in Kopete with webcam, but Kopete is for KDE, not gnome | 12:20 |
| fde | vegombrei: I didn't say unmount... I said umount | 12:20 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | KR-data: Didn't we just talk about how aMSN supports it? :S | 12:20 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Why does the little trash can icon in the lower right corner always say "1 item" regardless of how many items (or none) there actually are inside of it? | 12:20 |
| selanit | I think that's all I needed for now. Thanks again, joaopinto. | 12:20 |
| sharkp | does kubuntu-desktop install kde4? | 12:20 |
| vegombrei | fde: sorry :( | 12:20 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: Mine correctly reports "no trash items" | 12:20 |
| KR-data | dsffdsffdsfdd, Kind of sad that the Web camera ability in Windows Live Messenger was what held me away from switching to Ubuntu! | 12:21 |
| sharkp | does kubuntu-desktop install kde4? | 12:21 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Hrm. | 12:21 |
| fde | sharkp: no... kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 12:21 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | I don't like it when I notice bugs and imperfections! | 12:21 |
| sharkp | fde, thanx | 12:21 |
| KR-data | dsffdsffdsfdd, my point is, there might be alternatives, I can test it if you want, though I preferred pidgin over kopete before I threw msn out of my window ;) | 12:21 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | The "quick launch" icons that I have put in the top menu seem scattered. I can't seem to auto-order them to stick next to each other. Is this possible? I hope so... | 12:21 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: It's a chance for you to better the system though :D | 12:22 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | KR-data: Nobody is of course on-line right now with a Web camera... | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 12:22 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: right click "lock to panel" | 12:22 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | fde: That just... locks them in their current position. | 12:22 |
| Scientus_ | my mouse stopped working after plugging in a usb2.0 pci card, so i restarted and took it out and it still doesnt work--fyi its a usb moue | 12:22 |
| Scientus_ | how do i get it to work again | 12:22 |
| doff | can someone advice me a good gtk media player that supports .cue files? | 12:22 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: yup... that's not what you wantes? | 12:22 |
| Scientus_ | ??? | 12:22 |
| KR-data | dsffdsffdsfdd, if anyone here has a webcam, he/she could ad me, point the cam towards a wall, if it works with kopete, then it's a possible solution | 12:23 |
| fde | doff: all will, it's a case of codecs, not players. | 12:23 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | fde: No... they are scattered around with ugly gaps in between... | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | doff: isnt that usually coupled with a .bin? | 12:23 |
| fde | doff: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:23 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: then move them first, then lock? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | doff: any player can play anything as long as it has the codec | 12:23 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | fde: They don't move... | 12:23 |
| mr_boo | wonder if it matters if i upgrade from update manager or from live cd | 12:24 |
| doff | ok installing restricted extras now | 12:24 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: unlock and click 'move' in the same right click menu. | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_boo: doesnt make a difference, updating from cd will mean you download less from the repos\ | 12:24 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | fde: Oooooooooh... I was dragging and dropping. | 12:24 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: can i choose if i want a clean install or upgrade? | 12:25 |
| Scientus_ | and also none of the admin applets that can be unlocked--will ever unlockfrom terminal they report-----CRITICAL unable to lookup session information for process 6265 | 12:25 |
| PodMan99a | hey all when using 2.6.24-16-virtual none of my USB devices work?? any ideas? | 12:25 |
| Scientus_ | and i dont get shutdown and hibernate from the shut down menu, and when i shutdown it wallways goes to restore--so i jsut have to hard shut-down then | 12:25 |
| doff | ActionParsnip, no .bin just mp3 and cue | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_boo: if you have an installed OS and do clean instal it will wipe you drive. you want upgrade | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | doff: if your .cue is a list of the MP3s then use amarok or similar | 12:26 |
| timuckun | I am setting up an ubuntu server | 12:26 |
| Scientus_ | i really dont want to have to reinstall just to fix a mouse problem--it was allready a pain to get vmware working | 12:26 |
| timuckun | how do I tell which nic is which? | 12:26 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: the reason i upgrade is that my earlier (gutsy) can't be booted anymore | 12:27 |
| fde | ActionParsnip: Already helped him, once ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed, it'll work/ | 12:27 |
| doff | ActionParsnip, it is a list of timings in a dj set to play tracks by time | 12:27 |
| fde | doff: restart your player once that install is done, all should be fine | 12:27 |
| doff | ok a few seconds left | 12:28 |
| MNZ | hi. How do I download the kernel sources for the rt kernel? I already have the sources for my kernel, where do I get the ubuntu patches to apply? | 12:28 |
| veagles__ | ActionParsnip: fuck you | 12:28 |
| doff | till end of downloadinf | 12:28 |
| Myrtti | !language | veagles__ | 12:28 |
| ubottu | veagles__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 12:28 |
| ttmontoya | Can some body tell me why i cant watch streaming | 12:28 |
| sponix | Anyone know exactly why the /etc/init.d/pulseaudio scripts don't do _anything_ ? ... That script doesn't Start or Stop the pulseaudio | 12:28 |
| sponix | What exactly is Pulse Audio anyway ? | 12:28 |
| fde | ttmontoya: with relation to what? | 12:28 |
| Dr_willis | !pulse | 12:28 |
| ubottu | Factoid pulse not found | 12:28 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Thers a factoid on it.. somewhere.. | 12:28 |
| krimson | Is there a website I can go to learn all about these kernels and mount commands and stuff? =? | 12:28 |
| Myrtti | !pulseaudio | 12:29 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 12:29 |
| krimson | kause i r stoopid | 12:29 |
| sponix | !pulseaudio | 12:29 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: it's prolly gonna be a clean reinstall after i've managed to salvage the /home dir i believe | 12:29 |
| ttmontoya | Im trying to watch anime streaming and it stays in blank | 12:29 |
| fde | ttmontoya: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:30 |
| doff | fde, audacious as earlier doesn't want to play cue :/ restarted it | 12:30 |
| Scientus_ | noone ever helps anybody on this channel anymore--the last 2 times i havnt been helped and helped someone begging for help | 12:30 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip: thanks | 12:30 |
| Scientus_ | this channel sux | 12:30 |
| Dr_willis | krimson, theres dpzens of linux tutorial sites out there. Pick a topic. google for it.. start reading. :) | 12:30 |
| fde | doff: the command I told you only works with gstreamer apps | 12:30 |
| krimson | Thx Dr_Willis | 12:30 |
| mr_boo | Scientus_: can't get any attention? | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_boo: id research the method first | 12:30 |
| car | hello | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_boo: and backup data just in case :) | 12:31 |
| krimson | Try screaming like that one guy did. | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | offer $$ via Paypal. :) | 12:31 |
| sponix | OK, my next question, why replace one Audio server with another, and neither of them work ? | 12:31 |
| sponix | And what was wrong with Alsa, it worked fine with everything I've ever come across ? | 12:31 |
| doff | fde like what? exaile maybe? tell me some good players | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | sponix, pulse is a layer on top of alsa - that adds new features. | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | sponix, go read up on pulseaudio i guess . Its the 'future' of sound I guess. | 12:32 |
| fde | doff: exaille is an example... rhythmbox/amarok/banshee ... most players worth using really... | 12:32 |
| Scientus_ | how the hell can i redetect mice?????- i really don twant to install, im starting to become really afraid of changing any hardware in ubuntu, cause i t allways tends to screw things up | 12:32 |
| Dr_willis | Scientus_, usb? ps2? what kind of mouse? | 12:32 |
| fde | doff: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/apps/ | 12:32 |
| Scientus_ | usb, sorry | 12:32 |
| Scientus_ | Dr_willis | 12:32 |
| doff | fde not rhytmbox not exaile still do not play cue :/ | 12:33 |
| sponix | Dr_willis: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio calls pulseaudio_start and pulseaudio_stop for its start|stop) case statements, and neither of those files/scripts exist, is this on purpose ? | 12:33 |
| MNZ | where do I get the linux-rt kernel sources???? | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | Scientus_, Hmm.. I can normaly plug in any # of usb mice, and they all will work on my machines. You might want to check what device the mouse is set to in your xorg.conf | 12:33 |
| helowo | sponix, my favorite only-other-person-in-the-world to see the light of day about incremental downloading! | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | sponix, no idea. Ive never needed to mess with pulse audio much. | 12:33 |
| sponix | Dr_willis: Think in a stable release, they would at least make scripts that function, or exist | 12:34 |
| Scientus_ | Dr_willis ill try that, its when i plugegd in a pci usb 2.0 card--i uninstalled it and that didnt make the mouse work again | 12:34 |
| helowo | sponix (you ranted about this apt incremental downloading yesterday, and i spent all day and some of a couple days ago talking to devs to get this implemented) | 12:34 |
| fde | doff: sudo aptitude install xmms2-plugin-cue | 12:34 |
| ricanelite | why is that out of no where when either loading up a application or watching a video I downloaded from the web the computer will not respond for about 3-5 seconds and then everything is fine. | 12:35 |
| Scientus_ | and Dr_willis i ahve never been able to find real stupp in xorg.conf--its allways liek default and there is never any modelines------- | 12:35 |
| Dr_willis | Scientus_, the new 'X' for hardy has a lot of auto-configuring stuff - it may be some bug in there. The new minimal xorg.conf dosent even seem to list the device for the mice any more. | 12:35 |
| sponix | helowo: now I'm wondering why they have scripts in /etc/init.d/ that do _NOTHING_ primarily pulseaudio, it doesn't start/stop/restart a damn thing, just calls things that don't exist | 12:35 |
| Scientus_ | lol, exactally what i said | 12:35 |
| helowo | LOL | 12:36 |
| Dr_willis | Scientus_, half my machines i have are using my old xorg.conf You could always add some device line. I recall using /dev/input/mice for 'all' the mice befor | 12:36 |
| Scientus_ | Dr_willis do you think a specific dpkg-reconfigurecould do something???? | 12:36 |
| sponix | helowo: well, if you make any progress with that it would help at least a handful of Army guys in Iraq | 12:36 |
| helowo | right, i've tried making that case verbatim | 12:36 |
| Dr_willis | Scientus_, i cheat and always use old xorg.conf i have archived and manually edit the things. Or use one from a livecd | 12:36 |
| Scientus_ | Dr-willis, when i was trying to put in mode-lines so it wouldn't default to SVGA when i started it headless it allways reset itsself | 12:37 |
| Scientus_ | to the default xorg | 12:37 |
| wagerdata | Can anyone help with the "closing vmware window" issue, if I start vmware with "sudo vmware" within the terminal, I can close the vmware window by clicking on the "X", if I click the shortcut to start the vmware directly, I can't close it, please give me some hlep | 12:37 |
| helowo | actually, sponix, i'm not registered (no pm)... and this is offtopic about incremental apt dev, joing #helowo or something really quick | 12:37 |
| linxeh | #ubuntu-offtopic ? :) | 12:38 |

| Jack_56 | Hello, I'd like to know if there is a kernel option with the live cd, to boot in text mode ? something like Knoppix's "2" | 12:38 |
| paulcross | Which windows manager programe is the best windows manager programe? | 12:39 |
| whileimhere | When I do a synaptic update Translation-en_US packages always fail. Any idea why? | 12:39 |
| linxeh | Jack_56: you need the alternate CD I think | 12:39 |
| helowo | IdleOne: I'm more of the bugmenot than the registering type | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | Scientus_, http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/man/btnx-manual.html#troubleshooting has an example of a more normal mouse entry in xorg.conf. I think you would want an option like Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" | 12:39 |
| IdleOne | helowo: suit yourself :) | 12:39 |
| paulcross | Which windows manager programe is the best windows manager programe? | 12:39 |
| Jack_56 | linxeh, Allright, thanks for the info | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | paulcross, totally depends on what you want. | 12:39 |
| linxeh | Jack_56: though you can probably choose an alternative init level for the live cd | 12:39 |
| Scientus_ | k | 12:39 |

| Scientus_ | they need to add mroe ways of rerunning the same hard-ware config that is done at install | 12:41 |
| Scientus_ | it wouldnt effect packages and files--it would be great | 12:42 |

| Tsugirai | Hello! | 13:47 |
| flotishu_ | jrib wel it has opened. with wizard. but is stuck there | 13:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | Ollie: well, worth a shot :( Outside of that and checking to make sure firefox is not erroneously trying a proxy, I'm out of ideas | 13:48 |
| fde | david_: Comes as part of the deal, it's our way of giving back for the hard work of the devs. | 13:48 |
| david_ | Well, I've got two viewsonic 922vx's hooked to a radeon 9800 pro -- aticonfig spits out a segfault -- and when it doesn't I get this: http://paste2.org/p/26598 | 13:48 |

| ushimitsudoki | david_ paste up your xorg.conf | 13:48 |
| Scientus | !hostmask | 13:48 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 13:48 |

| STSX | jrib: OK, ignorant question, but if root is the owner of /home, then changing permissions to 755 like you say won't allow "other" to write to /home, or is that wrong? Seems like that would then prevent user from writing to his directory in home. | 13:49 |
| david_ | http://paste2.org/p/26599 is my xorg.conf | 13:49 |

| ushimitsudoki | david_ I don't use ATI, but doesn't it come with some command line tool to do a basic xorg.conf? This would be something you run when X is shutdown | 13:51 |
| kasra | Hi , anyone exprience problem with OSX theme (at gnome-look) and HardyHeron ? | 13:51 |
| sofiankr1 | v0lksman: it happens sometimes with me, I thought it might have to do with compiz | 13:51 |

| olskolirc | i don't remember how to search and download using something like this. apt-cache search virtualbo-`uname -a` how does it go? looking for my kernel version | 13:51 |

| sofiankr1 | v0lksman: no, I swear by normal partitioning | 13:52 |
| fde | david_: it should at least have a different error | 13:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | david_: i would suggest you rename your exisiting xorg.conf so there is no such file and re-try the config program... | 13:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | ...nvm | 13:52 |
| Tsugirai | kyncani: I dunno it exactly, but it says something like this: Update manager cannot fetch "http://..." | 13:52 |
| olskolirc | I've never locked up v0lksman but i do have my share of problems | 13:52 |
| kyncani | Tsugirai: well that's a bit vague ;) | 13:53 |
| STSX | jrib: Thanks, that would explain some errors I got on logging in. :) | 13:53 |
| v0lksman | sofiankr1: yeah....I normally would however for this case it was much easier to use wubi...however it is behaving quite poorly compared to any other install of hardy I have... | 13:53 |
| sofiankr1 | does anyone know the irc channel for pgp or gpg? | 13:53 |

| scunizi | suxxor, if that doesn't work then you probably didn't do it all.. it's the same set of instructions that fixed my server install. | 13:57 |
| david_ | That's a pretty craptacular roadbump to not have radeon stuffed in there by default. | 13:57 |
| ervis | http://www.maxprog.com/EmailExtractor.html | 13:57 |
| jrib | flotishu_: that's not the issue. The issue is that the wizard freezes so it can't create the files | 13:57 |
| david_ | fde -- yes, but now I want big-desktop mode! ;) | 13:58 |
| flotishu_ | jrib how to creat files manualy | 13:58 |
| * david_ is never satisfied. It has two gnome sessions running side by side now, so I can't drag stuff. | 13:58 | |
| jrib | flotishu_: don't know | 13:58 |
| e\ectro_ | has anyone been able to fix the firefox-3 youtube crashing? | 13:58 |
| sofiankr1 | v0lksman: it uses ext2 as filesystem, doesn't it? | 13:58 |
| david_ | can't drag stuff back and forth from one session to another. | 13:58 |
| david_ | e\ectro_ -- what plugins do you have installed? Try removing some of the unnecessary ones, never had youtube crash with ffox3 | 13:58 |
| suxxor | scunizi have you got installed vmware on 7.10 after upgrade you fix the vmware ? | 13:58 |
| sofiankr1 | david_: Ah! It crashes every single time (almost) with me! | 13:59 |
| Breakage | hmm anyone know whats up with sonata, it's spitting out these errors. http://pastebin.com/m6b165f02 | 13:59 |

| * david_ hms :/ | 13:59 | |
| Sy-OuT | violinappren : how can i get the gnome themes or compiz themes to work on my pc ? | 13:59 |
| scunizi | suxxor, that's what I've been trying to tell you.. the link provides the instructions to repair what's happened | 13:59 |
| david_ | I found that removing gnash helped me a lot, although that wasn't installed by default. | 13:59 |
| sofiankr1 | david_: well, except the one to play youtube vids | 13:59 |
| v0lksman | sofiankr1: once you are in the OS yes...but when it boots it says that the native partition is ntfs...I think that is where you get the performance hit.... | 14:00 |
| fde | david_: I'm not really familiar with aticonfig, I just grokked the error for you. It should be fine via System > Preferences > Screen Resolution now though. | 14:00 |

| Breakage | hmm anyone know whats up with sonata, it's spitting out these errors. http://pastebin.com/m6b165f02 | 14:00 |

| flotishu_ | firestarter problem since i removed it , then instaled kmyfirewall. removed it. and reinstalled firestarter. http://pastebin.com/m723ea818 some apps like firefox or etherape are not runing too. help? | 14:00 |
| david_ | fde -- let me give that a whirl. I'll dig around, I just know that any time I try to get big-desktop going through aitconfig I end up screwing my xorg.conf ;) | 14:00 |
| suxxor | scunizi i get it it looks i am dummy so i will try finding a solution 10x anyway | 14:00 |
| jrib | flotishu_: but if you aren't going to use the gui, just use iptables or that new ufw | 14:00 |
| david_ | paste2 > pastebin! :p | 14:00 |
| flotishu_ | jrib ufw ? | 14:01 |
| sofiankr1 | v0lksman: so everything goes berzerk if the computer is shut down forcefully? | 14:01 |
| jrib | flotishu_: new easy firewall, that's all I know :) | 14:01 |
| fde | david_: Provided you can understand errors, you should be able to troubleshoot most things yourself... hard to support ATI things though, because they don't release any specs etc, and tell us nothing about their cards. | 14:02 |
| flotishu_ | jrib its the name ? and do you know any firewall that works like firestarter gui ? | 14:02 |
| david_ | Understandable fde, I'd switch if I even needed a graphics card. I should return to my radeon 7000 -- it was flawless. | 14:02 |
| Sy-OuT | how do i enable those .gz files themes :( | 14:02 |
| david_ | Sy-OuT -- you might need to extract them first, e.g. tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz (or gzip -d) | 14:03 |
| v0lksman | sofiankr1: haven't been in that boat yet...might be worth a try just before I wipe everything out anyways....just don't want to hurt the windows partition cause its a work laptop and my boss will poop an egg if he finds out I put linux on it..hence the Wubi easy un/install... | 14:03 |
| ralfgro | debmirror is complaining about missing Packages files | 14:03 |
| jrib | flotishu_: yes, ufw is the name. Don't know about gui firewalls. Try again later to see if someone knows about firestarter wizard freezing (or post on the mailing list or forums) | 14:03 |

| SilentWaters | HI all, I installed ubuntu server and need the PAUSE command. Tried apt-cache search pause, but none of the packages suggested contains this command. Help me, please. | 14:04 |
| Ardjan | Hello, I have recently upgraded to 8.04 and now I run into problems with some php scripts connecting to sybase databases. I have installed php-db and php5-sybase, create a dsn variable with phptype 'sybase', but since 8.04 it gives errors that it can't load the extension sybase. Looking through DB.php I see that it tries to load sybase.so or sybase_ct.so, but these files aren't available in 8.04 (they where in earlier versions). Am I doing so | 14:04 |
| zuluh | isn't pause a windows command ;)? | 14:04 |
| SilentWaters | :P | 14:04 |
| flotishu_ | jrib any clues? | 14:05 |
| zuluh | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-pause-command.html | 14:05 |
| _max | Silenwaters: iv never heard of pause, whats it do? | 14:05 |
| scunizi | SilentWaters, "wait" ? | 14:05 |
| ralfgro | the Packages files is missing since some hours | 14:05 |

| ralfgro | ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-backports/universe/binary-amd64/ | 14:05 |
| jrib | flotishu_: about? | 14:05 |
| flotishu_ | jrib ok | 14:05 |
| _max | you might be looking for bash's "wait" | 14:05 |
| _julian | no ideas anyone? | 14:05 |
| _max | or "sleep" | 14:05 |
| SilentWaters | I've been using this command millions of times with the desktop edition | 14:05 |
| flotishu_ | jrib dpkg reconfigure -a iptables ? | 14:05 |
| zuluh | so write a bash script "pause" | 14:05 |

| jrib | flotishu_: no | 14:05 |
| jrib | !iptables > flotishu_ (read the private message from ubottu) | 14:06 |

| jrib | flotishu_: nothing probably | 14:06 |
| Sy-OuT | jrib : nothing happend after i choose install the.gz file | 14:06 |
| SilentWaters | Pici what does wait do? | 14:06 |
| erUSUL | Ardjan: libphp-adodb - The ADOdb database abstraction layer for PHP ?? | 14:06 |
| SilentWaters | sorry :) | 14:06 |
| flotishu_ | jrib dpkg reconfigure -a firestarter ? | 14:06 |
| jrib | flotishu_: what do you want to accomplish with those commands? | 14:07 |
| SilentWaters | is it same as pause? No manual available? Do I have to specifiy seconds again? | 14:07 |
| flotishu_ | jrib make fs go good | 14:07 |
| jrib | Sy-OuT: look in the theme tab or press the "customize" button | 14:07 |
| a-l-p-h-a | I've got some restricted/unsupported packages installed... how do I force ubuntu to still upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? | 14:07 |

| zyx386 | can everone tell, why the search tracker toll worked no more? | 14:07 |
| Pici | SilentWaters: wait is for waiting for process state change | 14:07 |
| Pici | SilentWaters: Perhaps you want `sleep` | 14:08 |
| jrib | !kde4 > _julian (read the private message from ubottu) | 14:08 |

| pwuertz | _julian: qt4.4 is perfectly compartible with 4.3 applications... you can have qt4 and 3 installed at the same since you cant run qt3 applications with qt4 | 14:11 |

| zelluz | a quick question! what is a "warm reboot"? | 14:12 |
| jrib | Sy-OuT: that's a skydome so you set it up in ccsm | 14:12 |

| freakabcd | blinks atleast once every second, possibly lesser time than that for each blink | 14:12 |
| _julian | pwuertz: no, qt 4.4 and 4.3 have some major differences, so that applications built with qt4.4 can't run on system with qt 4.3 | 14:12 |
| freakabcd | :( | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | Ardjan: php5-sybase doesn't either ? | 14:12 |
| Sy-OuT | i think i have it installed | 14:12 |
| freakabcd | this is bad for (a) hdd or (b) battery or (c) both! | 14:12 |
| pwuertz | _julian: right... thats why the latest ubuntu comes with 4.4 | 14:13 |
| freakabcd | anyone else have this problem? | 14:13 |
| pwuertz | _julian: so there is no need to install 4.3 if you already have 4.4 installed | 14:13 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: doubtful it's really a Microsoft cam... what does lsusb say when you plug it in? If you're looking for what to buy, go with any Logitech. | 14:13 |

| _julian | pwuertz: Hardy provides 4.4 in backports yes, but Gutsy does not provide it. and I need to compile applications which can run on gutsy on my desktop which runs hardy | 14:13 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | fde: I have it already... it says Microsoft. | 14:13 |

| === LukeL is now known as e | ||
| pwuertz | _julian: well, then the only option is to download/compile qt4.3 from trolltech and install it locally | 14:17 |

| Achoth | joaopinto: "visudo: /etc/sudoers busy, try again later" That's the exact message. And yes, I used sudo | 14:28 |
| pwuertz | gordonjcp: This problem report does not apply to a packaged program. (/var/www/qcirc/qasm2tex.py) | 14:28 |
| joaopinto | W8TAH, the build essential standar packages are usually enough | 14:28 |

| jrib | Sy-OuT: yes | 14:31 |
| gordonjcp | punzada: that's odd, it says it should only do it for *packaged* python apps | 14:31 |

| ubottu | Sy-OuT: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 14:33 |

| Sy-OuT | oh that thing | 14:33 |
| cinatic | I have probs with installing gxmms on hardy heron ! Have Anyone get it to work ??? | 14:33 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: Then use your favorite chat app that supports it... and configure it... remember though gspca is V4L1 only! | 14:34 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: I usually test with Ekiga, but I think you said you had aMSN installed? | 14:34 |
| gordonjcp | pwuertz: still there? | 14:34 |
| fde | dsffdsffdsfdd: Both work here with that module, so you should be set. | 14:34 |
| scunizi | Achoth, actually a process can go "zombie" .. it's even listed that way in "top" using terminal.. if it happens.. | 14:34 |
| pwuertz | gordonjcp: just did some minimal testing.. a simple script with "raise IOError" in it brings popups to your desktop if you run it from /var/www | 14:34 |

| dirtbag666 | is there a way to reconfigure samba? | 14:35 |
| mohi | hi :) | 14:35 |
| earthling | Achoth: google "ps linux zomies " it will give u some insight into how processes work in linux. ps is like the task manager of linux but a lot more poewerfull | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | !samba | dirtbag666 | 14:35 |
| ubottu | dirtbag666: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 14:35 |
| mohi | how do I change the owner of a partition? | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | !addingfs | mohi | 14:36 |
| ubottu | mohi: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab | 14:36 |
| Achoth | earthling: That I shall. Killing processes in Linux is like playing GTA | 14:36 |
| Sy-OuT | jrib what am i gona do in the compizconfig now then | 14:36 |

| genii | bah left | 14:37 |
| jrib | Sy-OuT: what do you want to do? | 14:37 |
| gordonjcp | pwuertz: aha, it only does it after a minute or two ;-) | 14:37 |
| Achoth | earthling: I still can't get sudo visudo to work though. I can open the file, but I can't do any editing :/ | 14:37 |
| Sy-OuT | jrib : get the cube dragging to work | 14:38 |
| pwuertz | gordonjcp: yea, maybe... its still annoying if people are using scripted webpages and your screens are filling with popups *g* | 14:38 |
| Sy-OuT | & Themes | 14:38 |
| gordonjcp | pwuertz: think I've got an answer for you | 14:38 |
| jrib | Sy-OuT: so enable the cube, click on the checkbox | 14:38 |
| earthling | Achoth: try "gksudo gedit filename" that will be easier. if you are on gnome | 14:38 |
| scunizi | Achoth, if you need to edit a file while in terminal try nano like sudo nano <filename>. If you want it more graphical type gksudo gedit <filename> | 14:38 |
| pwuertz | gordonjcp: I've read the apport wiki... but its more like an advertisement how pretty automatic bug reporting is :/ | 14:39 |
| Vlet | Achoth: what happens when you run visudo? | 14:39 |
| Sy-OuT | jrib : i did that 1 hour ago | 14:39 |

| Achoth | earthling & scunizi: But I'm supposed to open this specific file with "sudo visudo", or is it possible to edit the file somehow else (gedit)? | 14:40 |
| === Uranellus is now known as Ur[a]nelus | ||

| Sy-OuT | jrib : why wassmt all theese thimgs imstalled ithe os from the get go heh | 14:40 |
| Sy-OuT | would have saved us the work | 14:40 |
| Sy-OuT | _) | 14:40 |
| gordonjcp | Dvyjones: does it show up in the network manager? | 14:40 |
| jrib | Sy-OuT: because space is limited I guess | 14:40 |
| Dvyjones | gordonjcp: Yes | 14:41 |
| earthling | Achoth: did u try "gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers " ? | 14:41 |
| joaopinto | Sy-OuT, and not everyone needs those fancy options | 14:41 |
| no7up4u2 | Anyone knows how to record screen capture as a movie like Camtasia studio for windows under Ubuntu? | 14:41 |
| cinatic | anyone knows if its possible to install gxmms on 8.04 and when how = ?! | 14:41 |
| scunizi | Achoth, visudo is an editor.. actually vi is an editor .. so is gedit and nano.. any can be used.. vi is not for the noob or faint of heart. the others are easier and more intuitive | 14:41 |
| W8TAH | what do i need to install to sconfigure: error: | 14:42 |
| W8TAH | You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build. | 14:42 |
| W8TAH | olve this? | 14:42 |
| gordonjcp | Dvyjones: when you see it in the Network Mananger, does it have a decent signal strength? | 14:42 |
| joaopinto | W8TAH, apt-cache search glib2 dev | 14:42 |
| Achoth | earthling: Now I did. It tells me in the beginning of the document "# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root." and I can't save changes | 14:42 |
| Dvyjones | godonjcp: 'bout half of the meter | 14:42 |
| pwuertz | gordonjcp: yea, but I still think the system is flawed... as one usually does not want to blacklist every single script | 14:42 |
| Sy-OuT | jrib : search domt fimd amy simple-ccsm | 14:42 |

| Sy-OuT | amd my mmmmmmm stopped workimmm | 14:43 |
| W8TAH | joaopinto, thanks | 14:43 |
| Achoth | scunizi: So I could just as well do "sudo geditsudo" or something? | 14:43 |
| gordonjcp | pwuertz: yeah, it's a pain in the backside | 14:43 |
| Sy-OuT | dammmmmm kb | 14:43 |
| Dvyjones | gordonjsp: Yes, 'bout half of the meter, and I know it should work, since this computer is right next to it | 14:43 |
| Achoth | Vlet: Yes I am | 14:43 |

| Sy-OuT | 8.04 | 14:43 |
| gordonjcp | pwuertz: yeah, I'd do that | 14:44 |
| Achoth | scunizi: But what is the path to the file edited by doing "sudo visudo"? | 14:44 |
| Dvyjones | gordonjcp: In syslog I often get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change." | 14:44 |
| ianliu_88 | How do I open my Network Folders from Xubuntu? | 14:44 |

| jrib | Sy-OuT: pastebin the output of: sudo aptitude install simple-ccsm | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | erm, was Achoth | 14:44 |
| gordonjcp | pwuertz: might also be worth looking in the apport docs to see how it works out how to stop it detecting /home and add /var/www too | 14:44 |
| Vlet | Achoth: are you able to edit it, or just not save it? | 14:44 |
| jrib | !who | Sy-OuT | 14:44 |
| ubottu | Sy-OuT: 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 :) | 14:44 |
| gordonjcp | Dvyjones: hm, don't know then | 14:44 |
| ianliu_88 | Thunar file manager doesn't seem to have this.. like Nautilus | 14:44 |
| Dvyjones | I cannot connect to my network, I tried WEP, WPA and No security, I know my computer detects it, because i resetted it, and changed the SSID and it appeared with the new SSID in NetworkManaer. Any idea how I can connect?' | 14:45 |
| Achoth | Vlet: I can edit with "sudo gedit /etc/sudoers" but I can't save it | 14:45 |
| Vlet | Achoth: but when you use visudo, can you edit it and just not save it, or can you not edit at all? | 14:45 |
| scunizi | Achoth, you should use the command gksudo when using gedit.. should still save though | 14:45 |
| harksaw | Soooo... I recently upgraded to Hardy, and everything works fine but Firefox no longer connects to any pages. I get the usual "Server not found." Pidgin and obviously xchat connect just fine. (This might not be the fault of the upgrade since I can't exactly remember Firefox was working immediately after the upgrade, and it's been a day) | 14:46 |
| Dassouki | why do i get this: The following packages have been kept back: libqt4-core libqt4-gui libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql rpm | 14:46 |
| Achoth | Vlet: I simply can't edit it (unless you have to do something else than pressing buttons to edit it) | 14:46 |
| Vlet | scunizi: as far as I know, it is a bad idea to directly edit the file. you are supposed to use visudo. | 14:46 |
| Achoth | scunizi: Tried that too, didn't work :/ | 14:46 |
| bazhang | Dassouki, that is normal--they should be upgradeable soon | 14:46 |
| earthling | scunizi: ii think may be achoth has the sudoers file in readonly mode for the superuser | 14:46 |
| Dassouki | bazhang, so why don't they just update now | 14:47 |
| scunizi | Vlet, ah.. wasn't following what file was being edited just the how to on using an editor.. re: earthling, Achoth | 14:47 |
| bazhang | Dassouki, I got the same thing as well and no worries | 14:47 |
| mohi | how do I change the owner of a partition? | 14:47 |
| bazhang | Dassouki, you can sudo apt-get install them now if you wish; best to wait for whatever is holding them back though | 14:47 |
| jrib | mohi: what filesystem? | 14:47 |
| mohi | jrib: fat and ext3 | 14:48 |
| jrib | !vfat > mohi (read the private message from ubottu) | 14:48 |
| scunizi | harksaw, you might try mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.back (do this after closing all FF windows.. then reopen and see what happens.. | 14:48 |
| jrib | mohi: that's for fat. You need to set it up when you mount it (in your fstab) | 14:48 |
| jrib | !permissions > mohi (read the private message from ubottu) | 14:48 |
| Dvyjones | I cannot connect to my network, I tried WEP, WPA and No security, I know my computer detects it, because i resetted it, and changed the SSID and it appeared with the new SSID in NetworkManaer. Any idea how I can connect?' | 14:48 |
| jrib | mohi: that's for ext3. You mount the partition somewhere and then use chmod/chown as usual | 14:48 |
| Vlet | Achoth: sounds like you're using vi instead of nano.... try doing this first: sudo update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/nano | 14:49 |
| JeffD_ | Q: NFS export (using kernel-server): want to export a volume mounted as '/media/SHARE DISK' (with a space in the volume name; exportfs -ra barfs | 14:49 |
| genii | mohi: The ownership of partitions is assigned to root every boot by the udev subsystem. You can't easily (permanantly) change the ownership of them without messing with udev. Better to make a folder on it and assign that to whichever user is supposed to write there | 14:49 |
| mohi | jrib: should I use the chmod/chown on the /media/mountpoint ? I allready read those articles | 14:49 |

| Achoth | earthling_: And what's S really? | 15:03 |
| genii | mohi: Apologies for lag. Work requires me right now. The mount options you would need depend upon the filesystem you are using, ntfs,vfat,ext or so on. I'm sure someone can point you in the correct direction or google. | 15:03 |
| scunizi | W5CT, flood bot.. or something | 15:03 |
| shane2peru | W5CT, seems like someone who hates Ubuntu and wants to mess up the channel. :) | 15:03 |

| W5CT | well, at least it didn't last long | 15:03 |

| shane2peru | no one use ddclient here at this moment? | 15:04 |

| W5CT | can i change F1 behavior using an app like keytouch, without modifying some other system config currently assigning it to help function? | 15:04 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: k | 15:04 |
| Achoth | earthling_: Now it's back to as it were | 15:05 |

| dsffdsffdsfdd | fde: Well... turns out my Web camera works with aMSN (had to get somebody to accept the invitation to test it, though, for some reason), but the picture is very, very bad. I don't know if this is even POSSIBLE, but it seems even worse than usual... | 15:05 |
| rawb | Pelo: new hardy install and doing a aptitude update / safe-upgrade after booting | 15:05 |
| bazhang | Sy-OuT, compiz themes? you never mentioned that before--need to use emerald theme manager for that may also want to ask in #compiz-fusion | 15:06 |
| Achoth | earthling_: -rw-r----- 1 root root 470 2008-05-07 18:43 /etc/sudoers | 15:06 |
| korhojoa | yit4s: that just means that it isn't mounting it then? | 15:06 |
| Pelo | rawb, just run the regular update from the menus , see if that works | 15:06 |
| earthling_ | Achoth:now try "gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers" | 15:06 |
| korhojoa | yit4s: make it mount at boot, and it will be just fine | 15:06 |
| earthling_ | Achoth:and try saving after editing | 15:06 |
| yit4s | korhojoa: how is that? | 15:07 |
| babolat | i connect via adsl modem, no router enabled. just pppoe.. the very first thing i did to connect to the Internet was sudo pppoeconf, and sudo pon dsl-provider.. is there a way to turn everything back the way they were after fresh install? | 15:07 |
| Achoth | earthling_: Wohoo! It works! :) | 15:07 |
| yit4s | what is mount actually? | 15:07 |
| rawb | Pelo: this is a server so no GUI. i seem to have fixed the problem by manually creating a /usr/share/info/dir file and running it again and it installed fine. weird.. | 15:07 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: then change it bach to {"sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers" | 15:07 |
| airstrike | im having trouble running gedit as root | 15:08 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: *back | 15:08 |

| capt_rogers | do yuo have to type your sudo password for every command that requires root access? If so, that will be too tedious for most admins. | 15:08 |
| Wise-Guy | How do i enable my DVD-R drive? | 15:08 |
| FreshD | is there a burning app like python for hardy? | 15:08 |
| bazhang | chamunks, this is not the channel for that thanks | 15:08 |
| korhojoa | yit4s: etc/fstab | 15:08 |
| airstrike | 'sudo gedit anyfile' is not working for me | 15:08 |
| airstrike | can anyone enlighten me? | 15:08 |
| joaopinto | capt_rogers, the sudo authentication is cached for some time | 15:08 |
| Achoth | earthling_: Done, perfect :) | 15:08 |
| scunizi | capt_rogers, yes.. there are ways to get a root shell. | 15:08 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | I love how my Xbox 360 doesn't support my NTFS (Microsoft's own damn default FS, god dammit!) USB HDD but Ubuntu does... | 15:08 |
| W5CT | airstrike what error do you get? | 15:08 |
| Achoth | airstrike: Try "gksudo gedit file" | 15:08 |
| yit4s | korhojoa: and then? | 15:08 |
| airstrike | nothing happens | 15:08 |
| yit4s | is it on the terminal? | 15:09 |
| babolat | capt_rogers, not really. every sudo pass entry is saved for the whole session and a little while longer | 15:09 |
| chamunks | bazhang, hence my asking to maybe be redirected for i have forgotten which password i used on an old archive and i have a password list thats like a mile long | 15:09 |
| airstrike | same with gksudo.. nothing pops up | 15:09 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: try loggin in as root in anoter terminal. | 15:09 |

| ifireball | babolat: pppoeconf simply adds some files in /etc/ppp nothing that should bother other scripts/programs | 15:09 |
| blame | alias in ubuntu are stored in .bashrc ? | 15:09 |
| hyakuhei | Hey all, I have a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop - It worked fine in gutsy but suspend/resume is broken in hardy .... any ideas ? | 15:09 |
| Achoth | earthling_: Works flawlessly. | 15:09 |
| bazhang | chamunks, not here please | 15:09 |
| funatiker | __doc__ You have to use Firebug beta ;-) Had the same Problem | 15:09 |
| airstrike | although with gksudo the terminal seems to understand gedit is open, because i can't type on it unless i hit ctrl+c.. but with 'sudo' only, i get nothing, just a new line | 15:09 |
| Pelo | __doc__,not all addons have been updated for FF3 yet | 15:10 |
| McRib | Does anyone know if the US repositories have been fixed yet? | 15:10 |
| Myrtti | !noroot | earthling_ | 15:10 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: were u trying to add insults to your sudoers file? | 15:10 |
| ubottu | earthling_: 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 ;-) | 15:10 |
| capt_rogers | so as long as i type in my sudo password once for that session, until i logout..my sudo passwd is in effect? | 15:10 |
| scunizi | hyakuhei, do a fresh install. my vostro seems to work fine. | 15:10 |
| Achoth | earthling_: Thanks alot for the help :) and thanks to Vlet and scunizi too :) | 15:10 |
| babolat | ifireball, yeah. the thing is, my connection has been misbehaving and im trying to track down the cause.. i may have made changes that i ought not have | 15:10 |
| scunizi | hyakuhei, and it was a fresh install. | 15:10 |
| scunizi | Achoth, n. | 15:10 |
| FreshD | is there a burning app like python for hardy? | 15:10 |
| chamunks | bazhang, sigh... i can respect that i suppose | 15:10 |
| __doc__ | funatiker: I _am_ using the firebug 1.1 beta | 15:10 |
| jrib | capt_rogers: no it times out | 15:10 |
| scunizi | Achoth, np..... :) | 15:10 |
| hyakuhei | scunizi, Thanks for the info but thats not really an adequate solution :'( | 15:10 |
| hyakuhei | brb | 15:10 |
| Achoth | earthling_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15 that's what I'm trying to do | 15:10 |
| ifireball | blame: if not directly in that file, then in another file linked from it | 15:10 |
| babolat | hello all.. i have a weird issue here. i've been trolling forums and whatnot looking for something to tell me why i cannot ping or load google.com, google-analytics and anything to do with a google domain. this sitch does not change with opera, firefox or iexplorer.. last thing i did was create an ntpdate file but i hardly think that has anything to do with this | 15:10 |
| earthling_ | Myrtti : what was that for? | 15:10 |
| jrib | FreshD: python is not a burning app, it is a scripting language | 15:10 |
| funatiker | __doc__ update it :-D | 15:11 |
| __doc__ | Pelo: firebug 1.1 beta was working until quite recently and wasn't updated. it stopped working after an ubuntu update. | 15:11 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: k | 15:11 |
| korhojoa | yit4s: if you don't know what to do with a fstab, man fstab | 15:11 |
| korhojoa | that should help you :) | 15:11 |
| funatiker | hey at all ;-) Short Question about Rhythmbox: If edit the Song-Details, will the ID3-Tags change, too? | 15:11 |
| Filled-Void | have a rather silly question. I extracted a file with sudo tar -xvvf something.tar.gz once I do it . I cant edit any of the files which got extracted because I dont have permissions. Am I using the tar command wrong. Or Must I change permissions after extracting? | 15:11 |
| yit4s | korhojoa: man fstab on terminal? | 15:11 |
| FreshD | jrib: there is a burning app for windows called python which can burn all current image files | 15:11 |
| __doc__ | funatiker: getfirebug.com doesn't list anything else then 1.1 beta | 15:11 |
| korhojoa | yit4s: yes | 15:11 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Why do I feel like I'm running a modern Amiga or something when I use Ubuntu? :S | 15:11 |
| jrib | Filled-Void: don't use sude | 15:11 |
| jrib | Filled-Void: don't use sudo | 15:11 |
| ifireball | babolat: well, worst case, just move the /etc/ppp/peer/provider file to some backup name (or outright delete it if you don't feel like being cautious), and re-create it with pppoeconfig | 15:12 |
| Filled-Void | jrib, oh thanks :) | 15:12 |
| bazhang | dsffdsffdsfdd, please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks | 15:12 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Sorry. | 15:12 |
| blame | ifireball: the alias are valid when the system boots? Is there a way to utlize added alias to the .bashrc file without rebooting OS? | 15:12 |
| ConstyXIV | Filled-Void: sudo chown youruser files | 15:12 |
| funatiker | __doc_ really?! mmh.. so download it and look at the source.. or use google code to view the source | 15:12 |
| McRib | Filled-Void: Using sudo sets the owner of the extracted files to root... and you aren't root :P | 15:12 |
| jrib | FreshD: if you right click on an iso image, you should be given the option to burn it | 15:12 |
| === SasukeStorm is now known as Olol | ||
| Achoth | earthling_: When I'm already asking questions, what's the diffrence between sudo and gksudo? | 15:12 |
| jrib | !burn > freshd (read the private message from ubottu) | 15:12 |
| Filled-Void | McRib, Exactly what i needed to know . Thanks jrib , McRib and ConstyXIV | 15:13 |
| babolat | ifireball, i dont have /etc/ppp/peer/ | 15:13 |
| dbmoodb | !gksudo | 15:13 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:13 |
| ConstyXIV | Achoth: gksudo is graphical | 15:13 |
| McRib | jrib: Do you know if the devs ever plan on integrating a Right-Click-Mount option for ISO images? | 15:13 |
| earthling_ | Myrtti : gksudo allows u open gnome apps as root | 15:13 |
| dbmoodb | --- for gnome basically there is a sudo for kde too | 15:13 |
| FreshD | jrib: i know but what about other image files? | 15:13 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: gksudo allows u open gnome apps as root | 15:13 |
| jrib | McRib: no idea. There is a nautilus script for it though | 15:13 |
| Achoth | ConstyXIV: Meaning..? | 15:13 |
| jrib | FreshD: try the programs ubottu told you about | 15:13 |
| McRib | jrib: Yeah, that's what I've used in the past too... just thought it would be a great feature :) | 15:13 |
| earthling_ | Myrtti : sorry for that | 15:13 |
| ifireball | blame: .bashrc is loaded every time you open a shell, just re-opening the terminal window should be enough, or logout and re-login | 15:13 |
| Achoth | earthling_: Doesn't sudo do that? | 15:13 |
| * __doc__ can't waste time on this, turns off ubuntu and switches windows on to get firebug back. | 15:14 | |
| Wise-Guy | I installed Hardy Heron from a burned DVD installation disk, but when i try to read backup files i | 15:14 |
| Wise-Guy | im transferring, it says the disk is disabled | 15:14 |
| ifireball | babolat: I'm a little rusty as far as pppoe goes, w8 | 15:14 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: no. sudo only is used in terminal apps | 15:14 |
| Wise-Guy | how do i enable itÉ | 15:14 |
| McRib | Wise-Guy: Have fun. Firebug doesn't work in FF3 in Windows either ;) | 15:14 |
| dbmoodb | what is the problem -- | 15:14 |
| ConstyXIV | Achoth: as in, gksudo is what you use in graphical environments | 15:14 |
| Sy-OuT | how long have people been using this ubuntu ? | 15:14 |
| dbmoodb | firebug -- oh and just apt-get install the ol dfirefox | 15:14 |
| Koheleth | I was wondering if a sysadmin could help some questions about a dedicated server I am getting, it will have ubuntu and its quite raw | 15:14 |
| rohan | Sy-OuT: from very long | 15:14 |
| Wise-Guy | McRib, firebugÉ | 15:14 |
| Sy-OuT | its not new ? | 15:14 |
| babolat | ifireball, no prob.. anything to help coz i am definitely running out of trials to error out | 15:14 |
| rohan | Sy-OuT: new versions are released from time to time | 15:14 |
| nagyv | hello! is there a way to customize the keyboard shortcuts in pidgin? I really hate them! | 15:15 |
| ifireball | babolat: that's /etc/ppp/peers | 15:15 |
| Achoth | earthling_: But I've always used sudo on gnome apps without problems? | 15:15 |
| __doc__ | McRib: firebug DID WORK both in windows and ubuntu on ff3 until some of the last updates. | 15:15 |
| dbmoodb | Sy-OuT: a while out -- i jumped in on the beta i don't think it is stable enough yet to run it | 15:15 |
| FreshD | jrib: would it work if I would use python with wine? | 15:15 |
| McRib | Sy-OuT: I believe the first Ubuntu version was released in 2006.... | 15:15 |
| Sy-OuT | i started today | 15:15 |
| rohan | McRib: 2004 iirc | 15:15 |
| W8TAH | im trying to build funpidgin from source - -heres the error im getting -- http://www.pastebin.ca/1012722 | 15:15 |
| dbmoodb | __doc__: go back to firefox2 it is still in the repos | 15:15 |
| W8TAH | any input is appreciated | 15:15 |
| babolat | ifireball, all four files? | 15:15 |
| blame | ifireball: reopening terminal seems to be it, thanks. | 15:15 |
| Achoth | ConstyXIV: Ah, I see. Thanks | 15:15 |
| babolat | ifireball, oh there are 5 | 15:15 |
| rohan | McRib: yes, it was ubuntu 4.10 | 15:15 |
| dbmoodb | what do you expect from a beta that is getting updates all the time | 15:15 |
| rohan | warty warthog | 15:15 |
| jrib | FreshD: you can try, but I would try the native apps first | 15:15 |
| dan__ | hello all. i am trying to install vmware, but i cant see it in the add/remove programs or the synaptic package manager | 15:15 |
| FreshD | jrib: thx | 15:16 |
| babolat | dbmoodb, a less than stable app that people are working on | 15:16 |
| dbmoodb | it isn't -- try virtualbox van | 15:16 |
| McRib | rohan: Oh, that's right... thanks. | 15:16 |
| Wise-Guy | i dont understand the answer, how do i enable the DVD drive? | 15:16 |
| Koheleth | is it possible to install a admin panel to a raw server remotely via putty? | 15:16 |
| dbmoodb | !virtualbox | 15:16 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 15:16 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: try "sudo nautilus" and "gksudo nautilus" try changing the permissions from the GUI for any file in both cases u will see | 15:16 |
| Sy-OuT | this os aint godo for stoners thow | 15:16 |
| Sy-OuT | good | 15:16 |
| dbmoodb | admin panel what kind ? | 15:16 |
| Sy-OuT | :D | 15:16 |
| bazhang | !ot | Sy-OuT | 15:16 |
| ubottu | Sy-OuT: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:16 |
| Koheleth | webmin for starters I suppose | 15:16 |
| McRib | Sy-OuT: It isn't marketed to stoners.... | 15:16 |
| Sy-OuT | im to lazy for linux it seams heh , ya rib | 15:17 |
| Sy-OuT | even thow its become almost like windows | 15:17 |
| __doc__ | dbmoodb: that doesn't work as firebug doesn't seem to run ff2 on hardy heron either, also it's now uninstallable | 15:17 |
| dbmoodb | yes, why wouldn't it be ?--- you just need to get the webmin package / blah. sudo apt-get install blah | 15:17 |
| bazhang | Sy-OuT, this is support channel please chat elsewhere thanks | 15:17 |

| ubottu | __doc__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 15:17 |
| Sy-OuT | McRib yeah i have enough with the alien and nwo agendas ... :D | 15:17 |
| Achoth | earthling_: I don't actually know how to change permissions with the graphical interface but I get the point :) thanks | 15:18 |
| dbmoodb | i'm not on hardy anymore i can't tell you i gave up. ah ...... for webmin google ? | 15:18 |
| babolat | how do i "sudo move_file_here" ? | 15:18 |
| jescis | What's the best way to purge all of X11 and associated program? | 15:18 |
| earthling_ | Achoth: k | 15:18 |
| bazhang | Sy-OuT, please stay ontopic | 15:18 |
| Koheleth | any sysadmins here? | 15:18 |
| Sy-OuT | gona do this slow thow | 15:18 |
| Sy-OuT | yeah baz | 15:18 |
| dbmoodb | jescis: why do you want to do that | 15:18 |
| jrib | babolat: why? what do you want to move and where? | 15:18 |
| Achoth | babolat: sudo mv file_from file_to | 15:18 |
| msix | babolat: sudo mv origin destination | 15:18 |
| dbmoodb | Koheleth: what are you trying to do btw -- what is it you want to configure | 15:18 |
| McRib | babolat: To move a file us: mv [source path/filename] [destination path/filename] | 15:18 |
| joaopinto | Koheleth, just ask your question | 15:18 |
| ifireball | babolat: afaik all that pppoeconf does is fill /etc/ppp/peers with detaile of your provider and place your password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets | 15:18 |
| ifireball | babolat: I mean /etc/ppp/peers/provider | 15:18 |
| jescis | dbmoodb, I just want cl only | 15:18 |
| InfamousFlame | I've received a USB disk that shows up as two disks when i plug it in. I tried to format it, but each partition comes up seperately in gparted and one is listed as "read-only" so i can't even stop it frompopping up. Anyone know how to get rid of it? | 15:19 |
| earthling_ | jescis : "ctrl+alt+backspace" will restart X11 | 15:19 |
| babolat | jrib, ifireball was helping me clean out my /etc/ppp/peers so that i could turn back my connection method the way they were | 15:19 |
| Koheleth | brand new dedicated server, raw as naked nature, I need to install a admin gui remotely | 15:19 |
| dbmoodb | there is a server cd /alternative installation cd -- why didn't you use that instead ? | 15:19 |
| Sy-OuT | ok bbl people 5 hrs on this os today is enough | 15:19 |
| Koheleth | then login via the gui | 15:19 |
| jescis | earthling_, I don't want te restart X, I want to get rid of it all. | 15:19 |
| Sy-OuT | thanks for all the help | 15:19 |
| McRib | InfamousFlame: Chances are that read-only partition contains important disk information. You can delete both partitions with GParted and create a new one, but it COULD cause the disc to become unreadable. | 15:19 |
| ifireball | babolat: sorry, some network outage on my end, you were saying? | 15:20 |
| Koheleth | throwing myself in at the deep end | 15:20 |
| dbmoodb | you want to run as root .... in a gui environment ? | 15:20 |
| danbhfive | anyone use venkman? as a firebug replacement? | 15:20 |
| earthling_ | jescis : and replace it with what? | 15:20 |
| AprilHare | hello | 15:20 |
| babolat | ifireball, i was saying i'm about to sudo mv everything in /etc/ppp/peers | 15:20 |
| McRib | jescis: You could try by removing gdm. | 15:20 |
| Koheleth | dbmoodb, thats what you do, I did it before, you can then add users | 15:21 |
| AprilHare | I want to upgrade from x86 dist to amd64. is there a simple way? | 15:21 |
| dbmoodb | jescis: he just wants cli --- if you don't need the free space just disable gdm,kdm, xdm blah | 15:21 |
| laeg | the offsite dedicated server i'm about to buy is offering to install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop/Server (BETA) operating system - is there any reason i'd want to use desktop and is it easy to update to the full release over the cli? | 15:21 |
| McRib | jescis: I believe that could remove all the gnome apps and interfaces. | 15:21 |
| jescis | earthling_, nothing. It would be like being in linux before X ever shoowed it's ugly mug. | 15:21 |
| ifireball | babolat: you don't need to move everything, just /etc/ppp/peers/provider | 15:21 |
| danbhfive | AprilHare: no, dont upgrade. the amd64 is very buggy | 15:21 |
| earthling_ | jescis : try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254540&highlight=gdm | 15:21 |
| McRib | jescis: The alternate install CD does also offer the option to install a CL-only system. | 15:21 |
| bazhang | AprilHare, a complete new install | 15:21 |
| davehimself | having problems with mysql not starting on boot in 8.04 | 15:22 |
| AprilHare | danbhfive, ok. my core 2 quad is begging for some speed though :) | 15:22 |
| davehimself | anyone having this issue? | 15:22 |
| Koheleth | I could get the hosting company to install a admin panel but its more money every month | 15:22 |
| dbmoodb | Koheleth: you don't run as root ... thank you for sudo i guess---- you have a user that has the ability to launch certain things as the superuser .. yes ah you can install openssh-server and open up a gnome-session remotely -- -X when you ssh in | 15:22 |
| sarmisak | hi all | 15:22 |
| * __doc__ o.O great now the only working firebug is 1.2 alpha... | 15:22 | |
| babolat | ifireball, this is the cause of all my misery the past 2 days, hence, the deletion of /peers/provider: : i have a weird issue here. i've been trolling forums and whatnot looking for something to tell me why i cannot ping or load google.com, google-analytics and anything to do with a google domain. this sitch does not change with opera, firefox or iexplorer.. last thing i did was create an ntpdate file but i hardly think that has anything to do with this | 15:22 |
| Koheleth | dbmoodb, what it opens up a browser or something | 15:22 |
| InfamousFlame | McRib: Thanks, but the extra partition only has an application that was bundled free with the disk. How would i delete the partition? Simply selecting the partition, saying "delete" and hitting applydoes not work, an error occurs. | 15:22 |
| dbmoodb | no you can ... depending | 15:22 |
| avahimesh | hello | 15:22 |
| ifireball | babolat: if you "sudo pon my_provider" it will use the settings in the file /etc/ppp/peers/my_provider file; /etc/ppp/peers/provider is simply the default if you say nothing | 15:22 |
| AprilHare | bazhang, that might be inadvisable: i have some apps installed that didn't use a standard packages and i'm afraid it'll take too long to reinstall them all | 15:23 |
| dbmoodb | babolat: traceroute -I google.com | 15:23 |
| avahimesh | someone know something about avahi and mesh networks?? | 15:23 |
| McRib | InfamousFlame: You will have to unmount the drive before you can modify its partitions. | 15:23 |
| danbhfive | babolat: can you dig google? | 15:23 |
| bazhang | AprilHare, the only way if you want to change arches though | 15:23 |
| Koheleth | thanks | 15:23 |
| dbmoodb | oh and traceroute -I google.co.uk (might be a weird problem) | 15:23 |
| ifireball | babolat: can you connect with "sudo pon" do you get a "ppp0" interface up and running? | 15:23 |
| InfamousFlame | McRib, I've unmounted it, but now an exclamation point triangle is next to the device saying "Read only file system" | 15:23 |
| AprilHare | bazhang, righty oh - seems a shame though. maybe someone could write an updater one day? :) | 15:24 |
| babolat | ifireball, yes | 15:24 |
| babolat | dbmoodb, i'd have to install traceroute yet.. what does that do | 15:24 |
| dbmoodb | it is installed isn't it ? | 15:24 |
| babolat | danbhfive, dig how | 15:24 |
| McRib | InfamousFlame: Does the device itself have a tab or switch on it that makes it read-only (like the now ancient 3.5" floppy)? | 15:24 |
| babolat | dbmoodb, i just told u its not :) | 15:24 |
| kane77 | can anyone help me get my genius webcam work in ubuntu? | 15:24 |
| dbmoodb | just do it -- it tries to map the way you connect to a host using imcp normally .... -I tcp i think it is | 15:24 |
| ifireball | ok, afaik, if you look at the ppp0 interface in ifconfig, you should see P-t-P followed by an IP address with should be different then your IP address | 15:25 |
| dbmoodb | one or the other i am tired ---i am annoyed that it isn't installed | 15:25 |
| dbmoodb | -- i would install it if i was you | 15:25 |
| LadyNikon | !hostname | 15:25 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 15:25 |
| InfamousFlame | It doesn'tappear to, let me double check... | 15:25 |
| AprilHare | i do have a 320 gig hdd i could make a new ubuntu installation on. the question is how to make the install straightforward - is it possible to get a list of installed packages and apply them to a new installation? | 15:25 |
| McRib | InfamousFlame: If it doesn't, you should try closing GParted, plug in the device, unmount it, then start GParted again (in that order) | 15:26 |
| bazhang | AprilHare, dpkg -l | 15:26 |
| ifireball | dbmoodb: it's beginning to sound like a DNS problem no need for traceroute just yet | 15:26 |
| babolat | dbmoodb, -- i would install it if i was you-->for me? | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | AprilHare | 15:26 |
| ubottu | AprilHare: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 15:26 |
| dbmoodb | AprilHare: you can export your software gettings | 15:26 |
| ifireball | babolat: ok, afaik, if you look at the ppp0 interface in ifconfig, you should see P-t-P followed by an IP address with should be different then your IP address | 15:26 |
| Life_Escalade | my question is how i can properly burn the iso to a cd.... ive been having problems all of yesterday and today so far | 15:26 |
| AprilHare | thanking ye | 15:26 |
| McRib | Life_Escalade: Could you elaborate on "problems?" | 15:26 |
| dbmoodb | babolat: yes i forgot to tab ... for your name | 15:26 |
| korhojoa | okay, so has anyone got a clue about the on nfs drive installation then? | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Life_Escalade, what os? windows? linux? in windows i tend to use 'burn at once' software. its free. | 15:26 |
| Life_Escalade | McRib: as in the checksums not matching | 15:26 |
| babolat | ifireball, u just lost the noob | 15:26 |

| korhojoa | !nfs | 15:27 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 15:27 |

| dbmoodb | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 15:28 |
| bazhang | !fishing | korhojoa | 15:28 |
| ubottu | korhojoa: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 15:28 |
| babolat | ifireball, YES it is.. that's how im in the room :) | 15:28 |
| dbmoodb | infrarecorder is a good one - i have used it before | 15:28 |
| daftpun1 | sarmisak is there any way to edit some script so he can get that pass automaticaly? | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Life_Escalade, So whats the exact problem? They dont work? or the cd dont boot? or somthing else? | 15:28 |
| dbmoodb | have you checked the md5 sums ? | 15:28 |
| McRib | Dr_Willis: He said the Checksum fails. | 15:28 |
| sarmisak | daftpun1, i believe in hardy it does not ask for a password | 15:28 |
| ifireball | babolat: ok. and you're just having trouble accessing google's sites? no problem with other sites? | 15:28 |
| Life_Escalade | checksums fail when i burn to cd, but the checksum on the iso i downloaded matches | 15:29 |
| Alan | How do I get hardy to recognise my software RAID partitions? This is a clean install, and has no internet connection yet, so i need to know what packages i need to transfer manually | 15:29 |
| daftpun1 | I got xubuntu hardy | 15:29 |
| babolat | ifireball, *exactly* | 15:29 |
| daftpun1 | sarmisak I got xubuntu hardy heron | 15:29 |
| dbmoodb | software raid... ah dmraid and you set it up no ? | 15:29 |
| dbmoodb | !raid | 15:29 |

| sarmisak | daftpun1, hmms i'm on gnome, so there might be a difference in xubuntu, i'm not sure about it | 15:29 |
| InfamousFlame | McRib, I'm still having the same problem. I'm going to try DBANning the drive. Thanks for the help anyway | 15:29 |
| daftpun1 | sarmisak i was thinking about finding it somewhere in the startup script and give him that pass there | 15:30 |
| Alan | dbmoodb, not a "fakeraid" controller | 15:30 |
| babolat | dbmoodb, i installed *traceroute* not *traceroute-nanog*, then sudo traceroute -I google.com... i'm getting a LOT of asterisks and stuff.. wud u like a pastebin? | 15:30 |
| halycon | Does anyone know how to change the [Gmail] folder in Evolution to use the root of your email account when Gmail is configured to use IMAP? | 15:30 |
| daftpun1 | wtf am I on :D lol i thought I'm on Gnome | 15:30 |
| Alan | dbmoodb, completely normal software - i think it might be mdadm i need | 15:30 |
| bazhang | !wtf | daftpun1 | 15:30 |
| ubottu | daftpun1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 15:30 |
| dbmoodb | no babolat -- just does it hit a few -- like it should go you modem --> isp etc. if you don't get past the modem or your isp then it might be dns / problem further along | 15:31 |
| Life_Escalade | McRib: even when i follow the instructions on the how to page i still get the checksum failed | 15:31 |
| daftpun1 | bazhang sorry but I use that shortcut for Wait Till Friaday :D | 15:31 |
| sarmisak | daftpun1, xubuntu and gnome? should be xfce i believe | 15:31 |
| dbmoodb | Life_Escalade: have you downloaded the iso from elsewhere | 15:31 |
| babolat | dbmoodb, the last line was -->16 72.14.232.70 (72.14.232.70) 866.365 ms py-in-f99.google.com (64.233.167.99) 864.370 ms 868.282 ms | 15:31 |
| daftpun1 | sarmisak i think it is | 15:32 |
| Life_Escalade | dbmoodb: its not the iso thats the problem... its when i burn it to a cd, the checksum gets changed | 15:32 |

| dbmoodb | babolat: that seems to indicate you can reach google but very slowly | 15:33 |
| LadyNikon | or rather.. a program that i can run on my server that will give me the status of the server. I want to be able to access this from a website | 15:33 |

| bachstudies | sounds a very small thing to worry about but has anyone else noticed that klondike game is missing from Aisleriot Solitaire in Hardy? | 15:38 |
| McRib | jescis: The alternate install is a text-based installation. But it's pretty straightforward... if you've installed Windows before, you should be alright. | 15:38 |
| kane77 | any webcam guru? what is the difference between spca5xx and gspcav? | 15:38 |

| jtrag-ubuntu | hey guys, in your opinions, what's the best irc client in ubuntu? | 15:38 |
| bachstudies | jtrag-ubuntu: xchat! | 15:38 |
| jtrag-ubuntu | I'm used to using kvirc in openSUSE | 15:38 |
| W8TAH | jtrag-ubuntu, xchat | 15:38 |
| McRib | !best | jtrag-ubuntu | 15:38 |
| ubottu | jtrag-ubuntu: 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. | 15:38 |
| bazhang | jtrag-ubuntu, you can get that in ubuntu as well | 15:39 |
| jtrag-ubuntu | k sweet | 15:39 |
| jtrag-ubuntu | I'll try xchat | 15:39 |
| McRib | jtrag-ubuntu: That being said, I've never liked XChat... too weak. I use Konversation. Install them both and decide for yourself :) | 15:39 |
| jtrag-ubuntu | I"m using LostIRC right now | 15:39 |
| jtrag-ubuntu | this don't have a lot of features though | 15:39 |
| jtrag-ubuntu | k sweet | 15:40 |
| McRib | jtrag-ubuntu: XChat doesn't give you much control either... it's quite simple. | 15:40 |

| nagyv | Gnome is so beautiful! It was hard, but finally I can modify Pidgin's awkward shortucts, and the way to do it is just brilliant! Simply, go to System/Appearences->Interface tab, and toggle the Editable menu shortcuts. Then go to the window and hover over the menu item you would like to add a new shortcut to. Finally press this shortcut, and you're done! | 15:46 |

| N1N31NCHN41L6 | sarmisak: that didnt work either | 15:48 |
| babolat | ifireball, ok.. i'll do each in a separate terminal | 15:48 |
| ifireball | babolat: or one after another, it doesn't matter | 15:48 |
| nagyv | svh: just download the theme from gnome-look.org to get the look, the feel is a bit more difficult | 15:48 |
| Mimi | svein, that smc usb wireless card works on linux now??? YAY!!!! :D :D :D I guess Im i nstalling linux on my other computer then ^____^ | 15:49 |
| Mimi | svh what do you mean like a mac, can you be more specific? what do you want the windows to do? | 15:49 |
| babolat | ifireball, all of them IPs are not andwering :( | 15:49 |

| Tobias92 | Dear ubuntu people. I finally installed Hardy and now X won't start. I figured it had to to with my nvidia video card. But since X is now bulletproof, I can't set the driver to "vesa" so I can log in, install the driver via the GUI and restart X to get my driver up. Where can I start a failsafe X session or install the driver from commandline? | 15:49 |
| svein | yes it does, but i needed the .inf driver via windows wireless drivers | 15:50 |
| Mimi | <nagyv> that doesnt make it work like a mac tho, just look like a mac, and its outdated, doesnt work too well :( (on hardy) | 15:50 |
| svein | that came with the cd | 15:50 |
| vegombrei | hi | 15:50 |
| ifireball | babolat: use the same technique (host->get IP->ping) to ping something that works, say your ISP's website see if it works at all | 15:51 |
| danbhfive | Tobias92: is this a clean install? | 15:51 |
| babolat | yes, it pings | 15:51 |
| babolat | ifireball, yes, it pings | 15:51 |
| svein | my x crashen in 8.04 and i was able to use vesa driver so i could log on again | 15:51 |
| ifireball | babolat: hmm... weird... I wonder what makes gooogle so special in your case... | 15:52 |
| agamotto | svein: Ok, that is an idea, but I would prefer one that 'just works.' I have pretty much had it with all things wireless and linux | 15:52 |
| Tobias92 | danbhfive: yes | 15:52 |
| babolat | that's the question i've been asking myself ifireball | 15:52 |
| vegombrei | how do i see fstab ? | 15:53 |
| saandro | Does anyone know how to get the top menu to show up? It does appear when i log in | 15:53 |
| LadyNikon | /etc/fstab | 15:53 |
| vegombrei | i need to edit fstab and have no clue how to access it | 15:53 |
| LadyNikon | vegombrei: actually nano /etc/fstab | 15:53 |
| ifireball | babolat: time to bring the heavy guns: "tracepath 64.233.183.104" | 15:53 |
| babolat | ifireball, doing | 15:53 |
| LadyNikon | vegombrei: you should probably read up on what not to do when editing fstab | 15:53 |
| martinjh99 | Afternoon all - How do I configure sshd to allow connections from other IP's other than local network?? | 15:53 |
| bazhang | babolat, try starting up firefox -safe-mode from terminal ; also check your extensions (what do you have there) | 15:53 |
| saandro | Does anyone know anything about ubuntu's top menu bar? And how to get it to appear? | 15:53 |
| ifireball | babolat: w8, I copy-ppasted the wrong IP... | 15:53 |
| danbhfive | Tobias92: looks like someone claims that you can use the vesa driver | 15:54 |
| LadyNikon | vegombrei: it can be pretty crazy if you do it wrong ;) | 15:54 |
| xconspirisist | Hey folks. Trying to install ubuntu but it's rinning really slow, the dvd drive is going haywire. Do the iso's need to be burnt to CD rather than DVD? | 15:54 |
| kohwj | can you login as root from a VT (ctrl-alt-1) in ubuntu? | 15:54 |
| kohwj | xconspirisist: just use a CD-R | 15:54 |
| ifireball | babolat: use one from the "host" results | 15:54 |
| LadyNikon | kohwj: if you set up root | 15:54 |
| svh | have the icons agross the bottom and when the mouse arrow runs across them they bounces | 15:54 |
| kohwj | LadyNikon: not by default? | 15:54 |
| LadyNikon | kohwj: nope | 15:54 |
| saandro | xconspirsist: that's always been normal with my cd-r | 15:54 |
| bdude99999 | I am looking for someone to create a custom ubuntu liveCD. will pay for itś development. anyone interested? | 15:54 |
| Tobias92 | danbhfive: Do you mean I can use the vesa driver? But how? | 15:54 |
| xconspirisist | kohwj: Sure, just use "sudu" | 15:54 |
| xconspirisist | *sudo | 15:54 |
| LadyNikon | kohwj: thats the ugly thing about root | 15:54 |
| kohwj | but my friend forgot his user password | 15:54 |
| kohwj | i mean, username | 15:54 |
| xconspirisist | I don't have any cd-r's, only dvd-r's :/ | 15:54 |

| vbabiy-laptop | Hey guys is there a remote admin for policy kit | 15:55 |
| soundray | My xchat-gnome joins #ubuntu-uk on startup -- I'd like to change that but I can't find where that behaviour is configured... | 15:55 |
| kohwj | my friend forgot his username when he did a fresh install. any way to get it? | 15:55 |
| xconspirisist | cat /home/ will give you a basic list of users. | 15:55 |
| * soundray is embarrassed | 15:55 | |
| * Mimi thinks soundray SHOULD be | 15:55 | |
| babolat | ifireball, how do i start ff in safe mode? | 15:55 |
| Mimi | jk. :) | 15:55 |
| kohwj | xconspirisist: he can't even login w/o the username to run that command | 15:55 |
| LadyNikon | soundray: check out xchat.orgs guide.. | 15:55 |
| xconspirisist | oh. meah :P | 15:55 |
| eroder | i can't seem to get my mic to show up under the volume control preferences. is there any way to add it? | 15:55 |
| xconspirisist | I'll just try google :P | 15:56 |
| erUSUL | soundray: on the server list edit the freenode entry iirc (i'm using irssi) | 15:56 |
| ifireball | babolat: I have no idea, no idea what FF-safe mode means anyway | 15:56 |
| danbhfive | Tobias92: I thought for nvidia, the standard was to set the video driver to nv, in xorg.conf | 15:56 |
| LadyNikon | soundray: you change the server and channels at the top in the server section. I havent used it in years so i cant say exactly where | 15:56 |
| bazhang | babolat, -safe-mode | 15:56 |
| Tobias92 | danbhfive: true, but how can I get it to vesa? It isn't mentioned in xorg.conf anymore. How "bulletproof" is that? :) | 15:56 |
| bazhang | bdude99999, check out uck; ubuntu customization kit | 15:57 |
| ifireball | babolat: but I think we've established this isn't an FF or even a browser problem because you can't even ping | 15:57 |
| danbhfive | Tobias92: my xorg.conf has it, I don't really know, sorry | 15:57 |
| babolat | come again, bazhang .. in a terminal, do : firefox -safe-mode ?? | 15:57 |
| LadyNikon | !zenoss | 15:57 |

| eroder | saandro: do you have another bar on your desktop? | 15:59 |
| Vlet | daftpun1: already better than Vista, eh? :p | 15:59 |
| agamotto | daftpun1: Yah, it shouldn't have a problem there, it should go all the way to 4g before anything | 15:59 |
| Achoth_ | I just followed this guide to get my G15 to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15 . But how do the keycodes work? Is there any way I can make those buttons execute commands? | 15:59 |
| bdude99999 | i understand there are tools to create an ubuntu live cd. ut each time i use a tool or try it out. it doesnt seem tow ork | 15:59 |
| eroder | saandro: you should be able to right-click an existing bar and select new panel | 15:59 |
| daftpun1 | bazhang and what about xubuntu? | 15:59 |
| vbabiy-laptop | Hey guys is there a remote admin for policy kit, so you could kinda set up AD for linux | 15:59 |

| === davide is now known as sidelil | ||
| ifireball | babolat: well, it actually kinda looks like what I get over here... only I can ping... too many not-so-friendly routers along the way, tracepath is unfortunately useless | 16:00 |
| babolat | sorry to bother u bazhang but could u translate "Too many hops: pmtu 1492" from ppp ltalk to english? | 16:00 |
| babolat | ifireball, u mean the route i come along towards google is hostile? | 16:01 |

| mr_boo | should i try to salvage my /home folder from the live cd? | 16:01 |
| soundray | erUSUL, LadyNikon: the server list is under Preferences-Networks -- bit confusing, but thanks to your hints, I've found where the auto-join is set. Cheers! | 16:02 |
| bazhang | !xubuntu | daftpun1 | 16:02 |
| ubottu | daftpun1: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:02 |
| ifireball | babolat: no, just not generous enough with information to allow for tracepath to be useful; on a philosophical level the whole internet is hostile hough... :P | 16:02 |
| martinjh99 | !ssh | 16:02 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 16:02 |

| ifireball | babolat: do you have any indication that this anything to do with ubuntu? the symptoms seem to indicate this is an ISP-level kind of problem | 16:19 |
| Vlet | Vixus: if you start it from a terminal, perhaps it will report some debugging info or errors to the console | 16:19 |

| joaopinto | Vixus, there is a bug reported about rhythmox and some other audio apps not being able to open the audio device when launched while firefox is running | 16:20 |

| babolat | bazhang, Yahoo! is good..and so are all the other sites i go to.. except those heavily depending on google-analytics | 16:20 |
| joaopinto | I am not sure on the conditions for that hat, and wether it's your problem | 16:20 |
| mapreduce | wvdialconf says no modem has been detected and suggests using setserial. | 16:20 |

| ifireball | babolat: well, it isn't odd at all, I'd say your ISP is having problems, and you seeing then right after restarting Ubuntu is just an unlucky coincidence | 16:21 |

I have one subnet running from it without a hitch (let's call it 10.1.x.x) and I'm trying to get another connected from 10.2.x.x. I have my switches configured to point back to the server (which uses Windows to get it's DHCP, but the TFTP file settings are correct to point back to the LTSP server). Instead of log | 16:23 |

| mapreduce | I will make /dev/modem a symlink to each and try wvdial each time. | 16:25 |
| babolat | bazhang, definitely no ISP filtering going on.. i have friends with the same provider, and they can google their lives away just fine | 16:25 |
| hwilde | mapreduce, disconnect and reconnect it and look at the bottom of dmesg | 16:25 |
| mapreduce | hwilde: I did that, that's why I'm sure it's that. | 16:25 |
| walkie | joaopinto, i think it is problem with msttcorefonts which sould be known to contributor - it downloads its parts from sourceforge.net mirrors where on some no files at all, some have some files but other files are 1 byte length that broke package installation | 16:26 |
| babolat | bazhang, the autopage for noscript is taking forever.. is this where i'm supposed to blog google analytics? | 16:26 |
| ifireball | babolat: do you get a new IP every time you connect? or does your ISP assigns you the same IP every time? | 16:26 |
| joaopinto | walkie, it is known, but there nothing the packager can do about it, it depends on the sourceforge files availability | 16:26 |
| babolat | ifireball, i'm on a dynamic service so i guess i get a new one every time | 16:26 |

| apocalyptic | Note: keyboard NEVER had a problem with Vista, but I love Ubuntu now and I would love it more if mykeyboard did not act up | 16:37 |
| ifireball | babolat: because it may be that for some reason of another google has singled-out your IP, changing an IP may solve your problems | 16:37 |

| babolat | ifireball, the operator says that i dont have an IP coz it's a dynamic service package | 16:41 |
| apocalyptic | What is it in Keyboard preferences that sometimes causes a key to repeat itself 18-20x after I hit it once? Any ideas? Also what causes a delay before I can backspace? | 16:41 |

| apocalyptic | Fresh installation of ubuntu. How do I find the model of my keyboaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard? | 16:42 |
| babolat | ifireball, its not loading | 16:43 |
| Nelson_Apart | apocalyptic, maybe you check Keyboard -> General -> Repeat Keys | 16:43 |
| danbhfive | apocalyptic: i mean, MY keyboard works fine, its a microsoft 4000 keyboard | 16:43 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: how is your keyboard connected -- USB? PS2? | 16:43 |

| codecaine | is there a way to load a gui program on the oginal computer from a ssh client? I am not talking about fowarding a x session | 16:43 |
| apocalyptic | I am on a laptop | 16:43 |
| apocalyptic | Under repeat keys, I have the box next to Key presses repeat when key is held down. Should I uncheck that? | 16:44 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: how many times have you booted your installation? | 16:44 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: try it out | 16:44 |
| zepolen | how do i get my grandma to setup shares without editing smb.cnf | 16:44 |
| ifireball | babolat: try http://whatismyip.net instead or even http://whatismyip.org/ if that doesn't work | 16:44 |
| apocalyptic | I booted this like 2-3x after installing from the CD to get it to work without the CD. Well I just did a simple restart. two of the times I was just playing around though. I figured out how to get normal internet to work, but I cannot seem to figure out this. | 16:44 |
| iclebyte | am i right in thinking that setup(hd1,1) will translate to second IDE controller secondary channel? | 16:45 |

| amimusa | hello, how can i set the regional configration to LATIN2 ? | 16:46 |
| apocalyptic | Alright, it is partially fixed | 16:46 |
| apocalyptic | the repeating is gone after I unchecked that box | 16:46 |

| soundray | apocalyptic: can you check in your BIOS setting for anything resembling USB Legacy Mode for keyboard and mice | 16:47 |
| amimusa | thanks in adance | 16:47 |
| Nelson_Apart | apocalyptic, maybe you try to slow down the repeat rate | 16:47 |
| doolz | has anyone ever had an issue with their volume going up to 100% when they log out/in | 16:47 |

| Nelson_Apart | apocalyptic, you check the repeat box again and adjust the 2 bars so to make it comfortable | 16:48 |
| workmaster2n | I have no audio in hardon - I checked the volume properties and everything looks fine - any ideas? | 16:48 |
| apocalyptic | Alright, I will try that | 16:48 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: BIOS is a tiny low-level system that helps higher-level OSs to boot and understand your hardware | 16:49 |
| mrglinux | is it default ? i mean are there any one have probelm with this type of printer | 16:49 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: there is normally a set of screens where you can make settings -- you enter it before boot by hitting Del or F2 | 16:49 |
| codecaine | default meaning the first printer it tries when printing | 16:49 |
| apocalyptic | weird | 16:50 |

| martin100 | hi, | 16:52 |
| ifireball | Blue89: what would you want to mess with that? | 16:52 |
| codecaine | reboot the computer for the effect to change | 16:52 |
| ifireball | Blue89: why would you want to mess with that? | 16:52 |
| Blue89 | ifireball, to set up rox pinboard | 16:52 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: can you please try my BIOS setup suggestion | 16:52 |
| Blue89 | I need to get into that file | 16:52 |
| apocalyptic | Sure. How? | 16:52 |
| zarngrime | codecaine ok, ill try that | 16:53 |
| Nelson_Apart | apocalyptic, while you booting up, hit [DEL] | 16:53 |
| bazhang | apocalyptic, please take the suggestions offered to you--the channel is unreadable otherwise | 16:53 |
| codecaine | zarngrime | 16:53 |
| soundray | apocalyptic: I told you. Hit Del or F2 as it boots up. On the first screen, it will tell you which | 16:53 |
| Nelson_Apart | to go to BIOS setup | 16:53 |
| codecaine | I mean to say ivp6 not inet6 | 16:53 |

| ifireball | Blue89: .xinitrc is a very very old way of doing things, using it will make your system load whatever is written in it instead of gnome/kde | 16:53 |
| codecaine | you can put a comment line above it by doing this #blacklist inet6 | 16:53 |
| Nelson_Apart | apocalyptic, it should be displayed on the screen | 16:53 |
| jrib | Blue89: unless you use startx to start X, that file won't get used anyway. Why don't you tell us exactly what you want to do | 16:54 |
| Blue89 | ifireball, exactly the idea | 16:54 |
| soundray | martin100: analogue or DVB? | 16:54 |
| Jckf | Scrolling pages with lot of text in Firefox lags. How come? | 16:54 |

| martin100 | analogue | 16:54 |
| Blue89 | I have xubuntu, with fluxbox and rox installed... I want them to come up at boot | 16:54 |
| zarngrime | ok | 16:54 |
| ifireball | Blue89: so just make your own .xinitrc in your home directory and give it executable permissions | 16:54 |
| Blue89 | I ma used ot the way this is done on gentoo for peole who don't bother with gnome. I don't know how you gusy do it | 16:54 |
| greggles | is there a page that lists packages that are soon to be released or the status of packages prior to a release? | 16:54 |
| soundray | martin100: Hauppauge have good cards and are noted for their free driver development support | 16:54 |
| Blue89 | ok, that works. thanks | 16:54 |
| greggles | I'm debating about manually rolling PHP but if there is a file about to released that includes the security fixes then obviously I'll just wait | 16:55 |

| Frost_ | ifireball: I have the application I want to use in the menus, but I can't see it in the application selection screen for "Add Application". How can I get it to appear on the list? | 17:05 |
| codecaine | im on irssi im not sure how to do it im just in a terminal | 17:05 |
| _stijn_ | confused, tried restricted drivers? | 17:05 |
| codecaine | because im at work | 17:05 |
| Frost_ | ifireball: The player is "GNOME MPlayer", if that makes a difference. | 17:05 |
| ifireball | NoOnesTakenThis: yeah, I think its possible, but again it really depends on the raid, since it may be incompatible with grub (the boot menu that lets you select the OS) | 17:05 |
| zarngrime | ok | 17:06 |
| confused | i have all my drivers are enabled | 17:06 |
| StuckMojo | anyone know of a good guide for setting up nagios in ubuntu using the provided packages? | 17:06 |
| martin100 | sondry ok | 17:06 |
| soundray | !html | facilitador | 17:06 |
| ubottu | facilitador: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 17:06 |
| StuckMojo | google only finds source install instructions | 17:06 |
| _stijn_ | confused, What's the problem? | 17:06 |
| babolat | are bazhang in ifireball still in here?? | 17:06 |
| StuckMojo | maybe because dapper's are so out of date? | 17:06 |
| crash91 | Im unable to grow my / ext3 partition from gparted, it has 26GB space after it and it gives me an input output error. | 17:06 |
| confused | im trying to install compiz-fusion | 17:06 |
| zarngrime | anyway, ill tell you the whole situation, i run ubuntu server as my personal webserver, and 2 days ago, it lost its internet, for unknown reasons | 17:06 |
| ifireball | Frost_: it should be in there, do you know that command for running it? | 17:06 |
| p0rky | hallo i have a problem with my keyboard, it not work on the login screen, i cant log in to my ubuntu | 17:06 |
| ifireball | babolat: still here | 17:07 |
| zarngrime | im trying to figure out why it had an ipv6 inet address and not a ipv4 address | 17:07 |
| _stijn_ | confused, compiz --replace | 17:07 |
| _stijn_ | tried that command? | 17:07 |
| babolat | ifireball, u were right.. that moron of an operator was reading from a handbook verbatim | 17:07 |
| dimpan | hey guys, i shared all my music through rhythmbox, and i can play it with my work laptop using itunes, but i cant copy it to my laptopdrive through itunes, is there an easy way to do it without sharing the music folder? | 17:07 |
| confused | wil try now | 17:07 |
| facilitador | thanks ubottu had forgotten the Composer | 17:07 |
| dimpan | is there a better program than itunes that can do this? | 17:07 |
| Frost_ | ifireball: I do, I just wondered if there's a more UI-ish way. I'd rather it display open with "GNOME MPlayer" rather than "gnome-mplayer" (for my parents) | 17:07 |
| _stijn_ | confused, if you use gnome (ubuntu) you rightclick on the desktop and use "change wallpaper" and go to the tab "visual effects" | 17:08 |
| soundray | crash91: did you boot from the live CD to make that change? | 17:08 |
| ifireball | zarngrime: ionly ipv6 == no address at all, ipv6 simply has a way of figuring a default address on its own if it doesn't get any | 17:08 |
| shawnb | Just bought a Zareason BigLap and can't get it to play encrypted DVD movies -- I've been pouring over how-to's on the web with no luck. | 17:08 |

| babolat | ifireball, so, i figured to clean install hardy again, just to get myself back to a clean slate.. whad'ya think? | 17:08 |
| confused | do i need to have xgl | 17:08 |
| codecaine | zarngrime sorry man hav eto run back to work but you should try you network configuration managers under systems menu | 17:09 |
| soundray | shawnb: have you tried different DVDs? Some have copy protection that prevents playing on computers altogether | 17:09 |
| codecaine | maybe that help | 17:09 |
| martin100 | @ sounddry thank you for your help my english isnt so good. I am a German. | 17:09 |
| ifireball | babolat: I donno, as far as I can see this isn't a software problem on your end, so you'll be wasting your time, but if it makes you feel better... | 17:09 |
| facilitador | bluefish is not WYSIWYG editor becouse only code html | 17:09 |
| Frost_ | Maybe I should log out and log in to have the menu there. | 17:09 |
| _stijn_ | confused, try to enable desktop effects | 17:09 |
| soundray | martin100: me too. We can continue in #ubuntu-de if you want | 17:09 |
| _stijn_ | confused, if you use gnome (ubuntu) you rightclick on the desktop and use "change wallpaper" and go to the tab "visual effects" | 17:09 |
| shawnb | soundray: yes, and they play on my widows machine | 17:09 |
| confused | where is that opyion | 17:09 |
| ifireball | Frost_: yeah, that might work | 17:09 |
| p0rky | hallo i have a problem with my keyboard, it not work on the login screen, i cant log in to my ubuntu | 17:09 |
| martin100 | I try it to switch | 17:09 |
| _stijn_ | confused, rightclick on the desktop | 17:09 |
| soundray | shawnb: oh, sorry. Is she recently widowed? | 17:10 |
| codecaine | mouse right-click | 17:10 |
| _stijn_ | and choose from the menu "Change desktop" or something | 17:10 |
| _stijn_ | it's the last option | 17:10 |
| babolat | ifireball, yeah i know.. frustrating how life is without google.. and i'd hate to go back to windows.. not that it's any better there :-/ | 17:10 |
| soundray | shawnb: bad joke, I know | 17:10 |
| NoOnesTakenThis | ifireball: I tried adding a separate partition on a seprate hard drive off of the raid and it will boot straight into vista. I tryed Wubi for dual boot and ubuntu would show up in the boot but it wouldn't load. | 17:10 |
| _stijn_ | confused, then you select tab "Visual effects" | 17:10 |
| apocalyptic | Anyone please help me with my keyboard? The make is DELL XPS M1530 and Model: PP28L | 17:10 |
| soundray | martin100: enter /join #ubuntu-de | 17:10 |
| shawnb | sorry for the msg flood (was longer than I expected when I started typing) | 17:10 |
| ifireball | babolat: if I remember correctly, the problem persists on windows as well, this really has nothing to do with ubuntu | 17:10 |
| crash91 | apocalyptic: what is wrong, if your media buttons arent working, try lineak.sourceforge.net | 17:11 |
| bazhang | apocalyptic, you really need to get into your bios | 17:11 |
| hasan | :D | 17:11 |
| babolat | ifireball, that's what i said.. | 17:11 |

| hasan | ??? | 17:11 |
| apocalyptic | I spammed F2 and DEL | 17:11 |
| babolat | ifireball, do u think LAMP had anything to do with this? | 17:11 |
| ifireball | babolat: e.g. going back to windows will not solve your problems... | 17:11 |
| bazhang | hasan, please stop | 17:11 |
| ifireball | babolat: absolutely not | 17:11 |
| _stijn_ | haha ifireball , going back to windows :p | 17:12 |
| hasan | suck windows :) | 17:12 |
| confused | done that but i cant find compiz anywhere there r no visual effectt | 17:12 |
| bazhang | hasan, please stop | 17:12 |
| _stijn_ | confused, let me make a screenshot (one second) | 17:12 |
| moontje | where do i change it when some users don't appear to have a "shutdown" option ? | 17:12 |
| babolat | ifireball, all i remember changing were : adding an ntpdate file to correct my time (which did not work out) and installing LAMP.. no one deserves this punishment.... | 17:12 |
| Hacksmit1 | hello | 17:13 |
| newbie_ | where can I get info on how to get started on creating drivers for linux? | 17:13 |
| minus198^ | hi | 17:13 |
| ifireball | NoOnesTakenThis: you might need to tweak the boot-loader settings during the install, or configure your system to boot into the ubuntu partition by default | 17:13 |
| babolat | what happened to bazhang?? got banned? | 17:13 |
| yurimxpxman | k9copy keeps crashing in DVD Author mode. Any ideas? | 17:14 |
| minus198^ | newbie_; You got to be quite experienced with a programminglanguage like C or C++ to create a driver. | 17:14 |
| Pici | !modes | babolat | 17:14 |
| _stijn_ | confused, http://www.dumpyourphoto.nl/photo.php?id=2903 | 17:14 |
| ubottu | babolat: There are many different channel and user modes on !freenode. Here's a list: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml | 17:14 |
| Hacksmit1 | minus198^: ye he's right | 17:14 |
| ifireball | babolat: like I said, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you did, unless one of the things you've installed insanely hammered google which is VERY unlikely | 17:14 |
| Hacksmit1 | quit | 17:15 |
| confused | many thanks | 17:15 |
| Rafase282 | hello | 17:15 |
| babolat | ifireball, i get it... maybe google has something against my ISP.... | 17:15 |
| NoOnesTakenThis | ifireball: Can the raid controller affect other drives not on the raid from loading ubuntu? | 17:15 |
| Rafase282 | is there a itunes like soft for linux so i can sync my iphone? | 17:15 |
| Blue89 | ifireball, I told my IM buddy to create a ~/.xinitrc with rox -S & fluxbox , and to chmod it as root to a+x | 17:16 |
| Blue89 | but he still has no icons | 17:16 |
| Blue89 | I odn't think the xinitrc file is being used | 17:16 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | What exactly does "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5" under Add-ons -> Extensions in the Firefox 3 browser that comes with Ubuntu 8.04 do? | 17:16 |
| bazhang | Rafase282, you need to 'jailbreak' it to do that | 17:16 |
| babolat | Rafase282, amarok has itunes sync tool i think.. logically iphone should probably work | 17:16 |
| Blue89 | I must have forgotten something | 17:16 |
| zarngrime | ifireball do you know how to fix it then?, can i pm you? (sorry a friend called) | 17:16 |
| Rafase282 | i have it jailbroken and all | 17:16 |
| ifireball | NoOnesTakenThis: it may be that ubuntu installed its boot loader on the other drive, since your system boots into the raid by default, it doesn't even "see" the ubuntu install | 17:16 |
| Rafase282 | so i must have amarok then? | 17:16 |
| Rafase282 | any other program? | 17:17 |
| bazhang | Rafase282, then gtkpod amarok others can do | 17:17 |
| Rafase282 | for gnome that can do it? | 17:17 |
| babolat | Rafase282, amarok is available as a package from synaptic | 17:17 |

| Rafase282 | one that i used to have but dont remember the name | 17:17 |
| facilitador | THANKS!!! | 17:17 |

| simony_ | Hey, the upgrader from gutsy to hardy wants to be babysitted. it could be nice if all questions/dialogs were concentrated at the beginning or end of the process... | 17:22 |
| mr_boo | microwaver: i got a "/sbin/modprobe abnormal exit" after bios update myself | 17:22 |
| simony_ | At least the huge download part could happen in the background regardless of any questions? | 17:22 |
| microwaver | mr_boo, what I did was a faulty dsconnection of a external hdd | 17:22 |
| apocalyptic | My keyboard is not working and I was able to get into the BIOS using F2, but there was no mention of a keyboard at all | 17:23 |

| babolat | !who > apocalyptic | 17:24 |
| apocalyptic | This copied itself over Vista though | 17:24 |
| apocalyptic | I could try that, but won't it slow it down? | 17:24 |
| ifireball | NoOnesTakenThis: this may be risky, but you can tell the ubuntu installer where to put the loader | 17:24 |
| crash91 | apocalyptic: no, i mean to check whether it works on the live CD or not, if yes then it means a problem with your installation of ubuntu | 17:25 |
| harfg | people get way carried away with installing ubuntu on removeable usb storage | 17:25 |
| harfg | then wonder why its slow | 17:25 |
| bazhang | apocalyptic, yes try the live cd | 17:25 |

| Blue89 | my friend says he fixed it... I don't believe him, but I can't fix it anyway, so I'll take his word for it | 17:25 |
| zarngrime | ifireball any idea how to fix it? i will lose everything ive deceloped in php if i cannot get this thing working again :S | 17:25 |

| crash91 | zamba: What processor do you have? | 17:31 |
| yoursfaithfully | harfg: Thanks! Do you mean the deb packages? | 17:31 |
| soundray | zamba: you don't -- even 64bit hardware will work with a 32bit installation | 17:32 |
| ifireball | zarngrime: I think it may because your machine isn't sending its hostname to the DHCP server (that's what the post says), paste your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file to pastebin please | 17:32 |

| bazhang | xomp, you need an ethernet cable for it | 17:36 |

| soundray | Hermanon: thinking about it, you should do 'env | grep -i proxy' (that makes it case insensitive) | 18:05 |

| xomp | soundray, that's the whole reason I bought the linksys and belkin wifi cards because I spent so much time (nearly 4 months) trying to get this prism card working that I just gave in and went out to buy one. | 18:25 |

| bazhang | soundray, they exist sadly | 18:25 |
| xomp | soundray, yeah, I have a Compaq Evo N610C laptop. The prism card is attached to the outside lid and is technically a USB powered device. | 18:25 |
| norbi | Arkaic: Yeah, I see what you mean. Well thanks anyways. | 18:25 |
| mussolini | <bazhang> ; i was having problems connecting thats why i removed a lot of the default ones. i couldnt update. | 18:26 |

| xomp | soundray, yeah, when I first installed Hardy (fresh install) and plugged the card in, fwcutter prompted me and I followed all the steps. I can see networks in my area but I can't connect to my home wifi because the prism2 NIC was tied to my router via MAC address and the router's reset button is broke so I'm trying to clone it's MAC to this new card to test if it will work. | 18:29 |

| ubottu | Febreze: 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+) | 19:25 |
| Febreze | Thanks, ThatsNotJack! :D | 19:25 |
| adac2 | soundray: makes no difference :( | 19:26 |
| ThatsNotJack | amenado: I'm not getting any internet once booting with acpi=off, and most people said that my ethernet probably needs acpi | 19:26 |
| Fishscene | Mimi, I can't figure out how to capture playing audio either- I only have an option to record from a microphone input. =( | 19:26 |
| Mimi | Febreze, also try #ubuntu-server | 19:26 |
| obf213 | so how do these irc servers work, is freenode an ubuntu server? | 19:26 |
| askand | In GIMP, Is there a way to choose what colour you want to change saturation for rather than just choose between those 6? | 19:27 |
| adac2 | soundray: I have to go. may I find a solution later. I come back later and tell you | 19:27 |
| ThatsNotJack | febreze: no problems, it comes with mysql, php, apache and a couple other goodies and requires next to no configuration | 19:27 |
| amenado | ThatsNotJack-> you have to verify that you have ip address, and routes, and a good resolver..check those..with ifconfig, route -n, and cat /etc/resolv.conf | 19:27 |
| Mimi | obf213, no, freenode and ubuntu are the same, its just a different name | 19:27 |
| jotil | my wireless is not working anymore after upgrade, any help anyone? | 19:27 |

| earthling__ | GhostFish_ : try compiz blacklist and google it. | 19:36 |

| horndog | ok thanks | 19:41 |
| Fishscene | Mimi, right. I don't know how Linux/Ubuntu handles audio. If it passes it to the hardware, the card might need a loopback. If it's handled by the OS, then there may be an option to loop it to an "input". | 19:41 |

| ThatsNotJack | amenado: I won't be able to boot to that hard disk for a bit as I'm rendering a 3d model at the moment on this machine, but all of that configuration works just fine with acpi=off, would that setting change any of that? | 19:41 |

I've never had a problem with this as long as I install Ubuntu *after* installing XP, but this time I want to do the reverse. Is there any documentation out there on how to do this safely? If I remember right, XP install hoses the MBR. | 19:49 |
| drvduck | amenado, I understand.... I don't want to have to figure out the backup tool (never have, yes, noob here) and reinstall | 19:49 |

| Fishscene | At0x0, I'm not sure if it's possible... Windows does NOT play nicely with any other OS type. Although it is perfectly capabile of doing so. | 19:50 |

| spiderfire | tanath: no | 20:09 |
| llll | I am trying to install the V4L trident 6000 (5600) driver on ubuntu 8.04. I tried to follow this tutorial http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Trident_TM6000#TM6000_based_Devices but i seems that I can make the driver ! | 20:09 |
| llll | can anybody help me? | 20:09 |
| tanath | spiderfire, ? | 20:10 |
| rpj8 | tanath: *shrugs* With google docs I've always needed to fix some thigns in the text editor in the end. | 20:10 |
| windex | rpj8: sorry | 20:10 |
| jotil | brb | 20:10 |
| rpj8 | tanath: Just save it as a .doc in OO. | 20:10 |
| rpj8 | windex: No worries. | 20:10 |
| rpj8 | windex: And What do you mean runs "better"? | 20:10 |
| tanath | rpj8, that way, and the google docs way both have issues | 20:10 |
| rtlxame | hello, all | 20:10 |
| Myrtti | llll: where do you bump into errors? | 20:10 |
| tanath | rpj8, as i said, i need to figure out which works best | 20:10 |
| SliM1 | drvduck: great, stuck between gutsy and hardy without the possibility of going back or forth | 20:10 |
| spiderfire | tanath: i think the .doc format is what you want but it might be the wordpad instead of msword | 20:10 |
| rpj8 | tanath: I've never had an issue saving a doc in OO that I've created as a .doc. | 20:10 |
| drvduck | SliM1, yah | 20:10 |

| tobylane | i doubt it, but can i install swap+ubuntu onto vfat filesystem? | 20:11 |
| tanath | rpj8, we went over this already | 20:11 |
| spiderfire | tanath: save it to all kinds, doc, rtf, msdoc etc. and find out which one works | 20:11 |
| rpj8 | tanath: Heh, "we" did not. I just got here :) | 20:11 |
| tanath | rpj8, i've gone over it a few times in the past couple mins now :P | 20:12 |
| rpj8 | windex: I see. Well enjoy KDE then :) | 20:12 |
| tanath | spiderfire, as i said, i need to be .doc | 20:12 |
| rpj8 | tanath: I just popped my head in not 3 minutes ago. | 20:12 |
| tanath | rpj8, no, i said it to you tooo | 20:12 |
| shane2peru | audacity is asking for the libmp3lame what package do I need to install? | 20:12 |

| shane2peru | are windows computers able to play ogg files? | 20:13 |
| LunaFreeState | any one help me with a win share drive mount issue | 20:13 |
| tanath | rpj8, i can save my odt as doc with OO, or i can import it to google docs and have it convert it. either way, formatting seems to get altered | 20:13 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: not by default | 20:13 |
| llll | here is the link ! http://paste.ubuntu.com/11162/ | 20:13 |
| vallhalla81 | drvduck: CLI? what is it i gues not as i am not sure what it is | 20:13 |
| SliM1 | spiderfire: maybe another idea? | 20:13 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: but then again, windows can't do much by default | 20:13 |
| drvduck | vallhalla81, Command line interface | 20:13 |
| rpj8 | tanath: Well, yeah, something is bound to get altered. | 20:13 |
| spiderfire | SliM1: im stumped | 20:13 |
| shane2peru | Myrtti, what player could I recommend that supports ogg? | 20:13 |
| Myrtti | !who | llll | 20:13 |
| ubottu | llll: 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 :) | 20:13 |
| drvduck | vallhalla81, sorry, a prompt.... can you run commands? | 20:13 |
| rpj8 | tanath: Not much you can do really. Just fix it up before you print. | 20:13 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: for windows? | 20:13 |
| shane2peru | Myrtti, I guess I could google that, right windows. | 20:14 |
| windex | rpj8: ther was anoticable diferance in opening clising and web browsing speed for some reason | 20:14 |
| tanath | rpj8, i won't be the one doing the printing... | 20:14 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: used to love... hold on, can't remember the name... | 20:14 |
| |Aaron| | shane2peru, winamp supports ogg | 20:14 |
| vallhalla81 | drvduck: i did a recover to disable the drivers so i could see anything i can use the terminal now | 20:14 |
| shane2peru | Myrtti, ok | 20:14 |
| rpj8 | tanath: Hm. Well you could just fix it up, THEN save it as a doc. _OR_ You could START editing the document as a .doc and just save it like that. | 20:14 |
| tanath | rpj8, and i can't have a potential employer have to fix up my resume :P | 20:14 |
| shane2peru | |Aaron|, thanks | 20:14 |
| SliM1 | spiderfire: so am i | 20:14 |
| rpj8 | windex: Like I said, people have their preferences :) Enjoy whatever works for you. | 20:14 |
| drvduck | vallhalla81, yah - a terminal. Run this command: uname -r | 20:15 |
| llll | !Myrtti here is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/11162/ | 20:15 |
| windex | I think maybee due to my system configuration raid ati and such | 20:15 |
| vallhalla81 | drvduck: but before that all i had was a black screen | 20:15 |
| spiderfire | tanath: abiword? | 20:15 |
| Febreze | hi, apparently my root login has more access then me, how do i log in to the "root" account? | 20:15 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: (I've used Windows in daily usage last in 2004) | 20:15 |
| |Aaron| | shane2peru, you might have to download a plugin though | 20:15 |
| tanath | rpj8, my point is, it's fine as is, but getting it to .doc is the probelm | 20:15 |
| vallhalla81 | drvduck: ok 1 sec | 20:15 |
| drvduck | vallhalla81, it will tell you which kernel you have.. | 20:15 |
| shane2peru | does anyone know of any mp3 players that support ogg | 20:15 |
| |Aaron| | but it will work | 20:15 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: foobar2000 | 20:15 |
| tanath | shane2peru, most do in linux | 20:15 |
| danbhfive | shane2peru: winamp | 20:15 |
| SliM1 | drvduck: out of curiosity, does nautilus work for you? | 20:15 |
| shane2peru | Myrtti, I'm with you on that, has been a while for me. :) | 20:15 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: you'll probably find it on google with foobar | 20:15 |
| rpj8 | tanath: I understand the problem. YOU make it with an ODT, you then save as a .doc and stuff messes up. | 20:15 |
| tanath | rpj8, yep | 20:15 |
| rpj8 | tanath: At this point, could you fix it, then resave ? | 20:15 |
| |Aaron| | shane2peru, will winamp not work for you? | 20:15 |
| vallhalla81 | drvduck: 2.6.24-17-rt | 20:15 |
| jassy_ | Hi everyone, anyone want to troubleshoot dual boot with me? Win/Feisty | 20:15 |
| drvduck | SliM1, I've got X... so... hang on, lemme check | 20:16 |
| shane2peru | oh, sorry, I meant for a portable mp3 player that supports ogg. :) | 20:16 |
| horndog | soundray, I have your request | 20:16 |

| GhostFish2 | any help would be great | 20:16 |
| tanath | rpj8, like, after saving as .doc? i think i tried that... | 20:16 |
| atlef | !ask | jassy_: | 20:16 |
| ubottu | jassy_:: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 20:16 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: iRiver makes nice ones | 20:16 |
| SiBa | hello, I'm buying a new monitor and I'm looking for a site where to find all the supported monitors, do you know a good website doing that for ubuntu? | 20:16 |
| tanath | rpj8, i couldn't fix some things | 20:16 |
| ldiamond | I downloaded VMWare, but theres only a vmware-install.pl file. How do I execute this? | 20:16 |
| SliM1 | drvduck: what is X? | 20:16 |
| spiderfire | tanath: try saving it and OO then open it in abiword then save as .doc | 20:16 |
| drvduck | RT - that means real time, yah? I read something about that on the forums | 20:16 |
| Pici | shane2peru: Try ##hardware, this isnt really Ubuntu related, is it? | 20:16 |
| shane2peru | |Aaron|, no, winamp is fine, I meant portable mp3 players too. :) | 20:16 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: then again you could always buy a rockbox compatible one | 20:16 |
| jassy_ | !ask| | 20:16 |
| drvduck | SliM1, Xserver... I have a GUI | 20:16 |
| tanath | spiderfire, could try that | 20:16 |
| shane2peru | Pici, umm, No I guess not. :) Sorry. | 20:16 |
| rpj8 | tanath: I see. Well you could always just open up a fresh .doc file, copy -> Paste after you've set up the formatting. | 20:16 |
| drvduck | SliM1, I haven't specifically tried nautilus... hang on | 20:17 |
| shane2peru | Myrtti, ok, thanks. | 20:17 |
| tanath | spiderfire, rpj8, another thing i noticed is that while it may look fine even as .doc in OO, when it's opened in word, it's messed up | 20:17 |
| SliM1 | drvduck: well, do you say you have a different file browser? | 20:17 |
| |Aaron| | shane2peru, oh... well then I dont know of any of the top of my head... i know that a ipod with linux on it will, but some ipod you can't put linux on them. I suggest googling it | 20:17 |
| shane2peru | Pici, figured it was just a simple question with an easy reply ;) | 20:17 |
| SliM1 | drvduck: are you saying* | 20:17 |
| Myrtti | llll: sorry, I've got no idea, but perhaps someone else does | 20:17 |
| shane2peru | |Aaron|, ok, thanks. | 20:17 |
| rpj8 | tanath: Hmmm, dunno what to tell you really. I've _never_ had a problem with saving as a doc and then reopening in word. | 20:17 |
| Myrtti | shane2peru: I've got a Kingston KPEX-100 but they don't make them anymore | 20:18 |
| llll | Myrtti , this is the output of my make command http://paste.ubuntu.com/11162/ | 20:18 |
| Myrtti | llll: yes, I know, and as I said, I can't help you | 20:18 |
| spiderfire | people need to stop using msword | 20:18 |
| llll | oh Ok sorry Havent seen it! | 20:18 |
| SliM1 | shane2peru: i suggest a gigabeat with rockbox | 20:18 |
| tanath | rpj8, well, i brought a doc i made with OO to my old job, and when it was opened in word, the format was all screwed up | 20:18 |
| drvduck | vallhalla81, sorry, I was hoping you had the same problem I do. you may... I think the RT kernel is...well, basically, this is beyond me. Sorry to get your hopes up | 20:18 |
| windex | anyone: who plays chess | 20:18 |

| drvduck | SliM1, sorry, I misunderstood, or misspoke. the problem was that I can't use the nvidia drivers for my card, but I figured out the reason was that I had an old version of the kernel that I can get to update | 20:20 |
| ubu209 | im using sshfs but i keep having to use sudo to see the files? also note the owner is me when i LS the directory? | 20:20 |

| jotil | shree_: 700 is quite an okay permission to me. | 20:21 |

| danbhfive | drvduck: why? | 20:22 |
| shane2peru | danbhfive, wow, that ubuntu-restricted-extras was a lot of stuff! isn't there an easier package to just get the libmp3lame? | 20:22 |
| whiteeagle | my friends has an nvidia geforce 5500 and the latest nvidia drivers, but it doesn't offer direct rendering | 20:22 |
| tobylane | for ubuntu, do i want ext2 or ext3 for ubuntu? | 20:22 |
| atlef | learnSpanish: who wants to learn spanish? | 20:22 |
| jassy_ | I'm not understanding | 20:22 |
| whiteeagle | is it unsopported or what? | 20:22 |
| atlef | maybe | 20:22 |
| whiteeagle | tobylane: ext3 | 20:22 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, apt-get thinks that .22 is the current version. | 20:23 |
| utonto | hey | 20:23 |
| Some_Person | Why is ubottu in here instead of ubotu? And who is ubot3`, who claims to be ubotu, and is sitting in some ubuntu channels? | 20:23 |
| learnSpanish | atlet, yes thanks, who want to learn Spanish? | 20:23 |
| tobylane | ty, i have two drives, will the installer let me pick which one, and add swap? | 20:23 |
| danbhfive | shane2peru: yes, its one of the included packages. restricted extras includes all sorts of codecs, including mp3 | 20:23 |
| whiteeagle | !ubotu | Some_Person | 20:23 |
| ubottu | Some_Person: I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 20:23 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: try this: sudo apt-get install linux-generic | 20:23 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, tried apt-get -f install, apt-get dist-upgrade, it tells me I've got the current version and quits | 20:23 |
| atlef | learnSpanish: this is probably not the right channel | 20:23 |
| shane2peru | danbhfive, right, I just need the mp3 lame thing, I mean for future reference. I already installed all that stuff now. :) | 20:23 |
| amenado | jotil btw, are you doing this as sudo? sudo iwconfig eth1 essid jotilWAP ? | 20:23 |
| Myrtti | Some_Person: we're in the middle of a transition towards more distributed net of bots. | 20:24 |
| learnSpanish | atlet: maybe :-( but I don't find any room to it...can you help me? | 20:24 |

| utonto | i have a very stupid problem bothering me since i updated to stable release 8.04. While loading the os, instead of ubuntu logo it shows all the operation like "reading files needed to boot, starting X server etc" | 20:24 |
| danbhfive | shane2peru: it might be called 0lame123 or something. You should use synaptic and take a peak at the package for yourself, because I dont know | 20:25 |
| KonBon | Thanks for the help, bbl | 20:25 |
| lordleemo | ok ill ask my question again | 20:25 |
| learnSpanish | atlef: where? | 20:25 |
| utonto | is there a way to change it back to the logo? | 20:25 |
| lordleemo | why are there so many bots,clones and off line in this channel?? | 20:25 |

| drvduck | danbhfive, I'm going to try to recompile the kernel, I think. Can you (or anyone) give me an idea where to start? | 20:25 |
| danbhfive | shane2peru: no, look at the ubuntu-restricted-xtras package | 20:26 |
| lordleemo | it says there are 1441 online in reality thats 43 online | 20:26 |
| shane2peru | danbhfive, oooooh, ok, got it, I will do that. Thanks. | 20:26 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: nope, I cant. I might be able to help with your packages, but not compiling | 20:26 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, yah, it said 0 to upgrade, current package is current version, I forget the exact text | 20:26 |
| tobylane | what do i format my secondary hard drive as, the ext3 one ubuntu is going on? | 20:26 |
| learnSpanish | atlef: ok, thanks, I'm going to try it | 20:26 |

| tobylane | you need some form of storage | 20:27 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: if you like, you could pastebin your sources, and I can check them | 20:27 |
| jotil | amenado: yes with sudo | 20:27 |
| atlef | European-African: what do you mean? | 20:27 |
| learnSpanish | atlef: thanks...by the way....I'm using Ubuntu 8. It's good | 20:27 |
| lordleemo | there are 43 people in this channel why advertise 1439 etc | 20:27 |
| learnSpanish | any problem | 20:27 |
| atlef | learnSpanish: i would agree | 20:27 |
| tobylane | what lordleemo? | 20:27 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, Pastebin? vas ist? (in the imotal words of Nightcrawler) | 20:27 |
| tobylane | what do i format my secondary hard drive as, the ext3 one ubuntu is going on, like /home or /var etc? | 20:28 |
| European-African | atlef: I want to use the rest of the cd, after the os iso | 20:28 |
| danbhfive | !paste > drvduck | 20:28 |
| atlef | European-African: the livecd is bootable and an os | 20:28 |
| lordleemo | tobylane: why all the bots and clones?? | 20:28 |
| tobylane | why not | 20:28 |
| European-African | yes | 20:28 |
| whiteeagle | when he tries to eject the cdrom using 'eject' in terminal he gets this: eject: tried to use `/dev/hdc' as device name but it is no block device | 20:28 |
| whiteeagle | eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' | 20:28 |
| amenado | jotil-> and still not associating? | 20:28 |
| whiteeagle | any suggestions please? | 20:28 |
| atlef | European-African: do yo want to add to the livecd? | 20:28 |
| tobylane | what do i format my secondary hard drive as, the ext3 one ubuntu is going on, like /home or /var etc? | 20:28 |
| Kohlrak | anyone know anyting about scim not always starting up when it's your default key configuration in the x11 files? | 20:29 |
| amenado | tobylane-> yes use ext3 | 20:29 |
| European-African | atlef: yes data, like a zip | 20:29 |
| jotil | amenado: nope | 20:29 |
| tobylane | amenado, its asking if it should be /home, /var, etc | 20:29 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, so just find the sources file (which is where?) and type !paste->danbhfive with the filename in there somewhere? | 20:29 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: probably because there is no /dev/hdc but /dev/sr0 . libata is used now, so all drives are (emulated) scsi now | 20:29 |
| lordleemo | its a simple question why all the bots and clones ?? | 20:29 |
| SliM1 | synaptic :-? | 20:29 |
| kane77 | why would chown say Opperation not permitted? I want to change owner of one folder from root to kane so I run "sudo chown kane directory" | 20:29 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: so, any suggestions to fix it? | 20:29 |
| atlef | European-African: add additional data to the cd? | 20:30 |
| utonto | does anyone know how to show the ubuntu logo during system loading= | 20:30 |
| utonto | ? | 20:30 |
| Kohlrak | Anyone here even use SCIM? | 20:30 |
| European-African | atlef: yes | 20:30 |
| danbhfive | !paste | drvduck use the suggested website to show me your /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:30 |
| ubottu | drvduck use the suggested website to show me your /etc/apt/sources.list: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 20:30 |
| amenado | tobylane that is up to you, what would you like that to be | 20:30 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: i didn't read the beginning of the conversation (just came in) so i don't know the problem exactly | 20:30 |
| tobylane | i dont know, i want it to be teh secondary drive | 20:30 |
| SliM1 | long live synaptic! at least it's trying to solve the problem | 20:30 |
| wrathwolf | How do I modify the settings of the GLSlideshow screensaver? I found the /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/glslideshow.xml But it will not let me pick the DIR or images that are loaded. | 20:30 |
| amenado | jotil oh well, dont know what to tell you if it does not want to associate, maybe get a longer antenna, or move your AP a bit | 20:30 |
| whiteeagle | eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' | 20:31 |
| European-African | atlef: like a multisession cd, that has a livecd, and can use the rest of the cd for storage | 20:31 |
| atlef | European-African: well, then you need an iso program which would allow you to add files to the *buntucd | 20:31 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: note that he can use live cds | 20:31 |
| jotil | amenado: i am sitting in front of the AP | 20:31 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: but ubuntu doesn't read cds in cd-roms | 20:31 |
| jotil | like 3 feet away | 20:31 |
| ubu209 | how do i change it so permissions are accessible by me user "foo" on a directory i created using FUSE | 20:31 |
| atlef | European-African: not sure how to though | 20:31 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: is it an upgraded system from a previous version ? | 20:31 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: yes | 20:32 |
| amenado | jotil-> just having it sitting in front may even be too strong and can saturate your wifi..so move it by 30 ft | 20:32 |
| European-African | atlef: no, I want to burn the cd now, and then add data later | 20:32 |
| kane77 | how do I change owner of a directory from root to me?\ | 20:32 |
| tobylane | amenado, whats the normal choice? | 20:32 |
| danbhfive | kane77: chown | 20:32 |
| jotil | amenado: it works if i login from 7.10! | 20:33 |
| amenado | tobylane user choice, you added this second drive for what purpose? | 20:33 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: so my guess is that /etc/fstab and the symlink /cdrom are pointing still to the legacy /dev/hdc . that becam something like /dev/sr0 now (read the !uuid factoid and learn about libata) | 20:33 |
| kane77 | danbhfive, well it gives me Operation not permitted... :/ | 20:33 |
| whiteeagle | !uuid | 20:33 |
| ubottu | 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) | 20:33 |
| tobylane | it was already added by someone else as a windows virtual fat | 20:33 |
| danbhfive | kane77: sudo chown -R user:user directory | 20:33 |
| amenado | jotil as you have learned upgrade is not always the best, you should have tried the livecd before upgrading | 20:33 |
| atlef | European-African: i'm not sure what you mean. you want to burn the iso now, and after it is burned add files to it? | 20:34 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11164/ | 20:34 |
| drvduck | ubottu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11164/ | 20:34 |
| ubottu | drvduck: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:34 |
| kane77 | danbhfive, I still get that :/ | 20:34 |
| drvduck | hah! | 20:34 |
| Pici | drvduck: ubottu is a bot | 20:34 |
| amenado | tobylane-> again it is your choice, what do you like to use it for? you want me to make the choice for you? | 20:34 |
| drvduck | got it | 20:34 |
| drvduck | The wonders of IRC. | 20:34 |
| European-African | atlef: add files to it? if u mean the cd, yes, not the iso | 20:34 |
| amenado | !who | tobylane | 20:34 |
| tobylane | if thats easier than me understanding them, yes please | 20:34 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, sorry, it took me a second to figure that out | 20:35 |
| ubottu | tobylane: 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 :) | 20:35 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: that link is too complicated for me, care for explain it for me? | 20:35 |
| atlef | European-African: your burning program shoul be able to make a multisession cd | 20:35 |
| tobylane | ok | 20:35 |
| amenado | tobylane okay make that an ext3 partition and mount point /u01, as second one would be /u02 | 20:35 |
| dogmaste1 | Can anyone recommend a PCI-based Wireless b/g/n Adapter that works out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 8.04/HH? | 20:35 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: too much tech words used | 20:35 |
| atlef | *should | 20:35 |
| luigi_ | hi, may I have some help in compilation? | 20:35 |
| European-African | atlef: so it is possible? | 20:35 |
| goshawk | hi, is there an official desktop kernel pachage with PAE support? | 20:35 |
| jotil | amenado: iwlist scan - won't work either. it says: eth1 Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable | 20:36 |
| trip | hi! | 20:36 |
| tobylane | amenado what about access path | 20:36 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: have you used the GUI to setup your sources? | 20:36 |
| atlef | European-African: yes, but remember the space on a cd is limited | 20:36 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, yeah. Does it show? | 20:36 |
| jotil | amenado: maybe resource conflict? module went wrong somehow during upgrade? | 20:36 |
| amenado | jotil then it seems the driver in 8.04 is not functioning for your wifi | 20:36 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: how can I apply the patch? | 20:36 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, :) | 20:36 |
| amenado | jotil try it on liveCd first | 20:36 |
| European-African | atlef: do I just make a multisession cd starting from the iso, and that's that? | 20:36 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: no : P try deleting everything, and then use the gui to set your sources again | 20:36 |
| Kohlrak | Anyone here use SCIM? | 20:36 |
| amenado | tobylane-> what about access path? what is it for? i dont know what you are doing | 20:37 |
| tobylane | ill go read\wiki.. | 20:37 |
| CShadowRun | Hey, i have a widescreen, is there any way to make windows maximize to only take up half of the display? | 20:37 |
| jotil | amenado: i just hit upgrade on synaptic | 20:37 |
| atlef | European-African: yes, it should be that easy, dont close the session | 20:37 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: all ide devices are now handled as (emulated) scsi devices. Since the kernel uses different names for ide and scsi all ide devices (like /dev/hd*) are now handled as scsci devices (dev/s**) | 20:37 |
| jotil | didn't download livecd or alternate cd | 20:37 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, del the file, or just the contents of the file? | 20:37 |
| tobylane | amenado, im formatting a wvfat drive into ext3 and its asking for an access path | 20:37 |
| slestak | CShadowRun: I sont think so | 20:37 |
| European-African | atlef: and the liveCD will run fine? | 20:37 |
| CShadowRun | :( | 20:37 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: ok, I understood that, can he make his cdrom usable again? | 20:37 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: i guess the just the content | 20:37 |
| CShadowRun | i could do it in windows :p | 20:37 |
| amenado | jotil then i may suggest downloading the livecd iso and test with it? | 20:37 |
| kane77 | danbhfive, what could cause this? it is somewhat important data... I mounted the camera using gphotofs, then I couldn't access the mountpoint so I opened nautilus as root and copied the photos over so they were created by root, now if I want to change permissions to me it gives errors | 20:37 |
| psychoid1 | how would I go about upgrading straight from 7.04 to 8.04 ? | 20:38 |
| Myrtti | psychoid1: it's not advised | 20:38 |
| FluxD | Hi, I would like to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04. In the instructions it says not to upgrade through SSH. What other way is there? | 20:38 |
| atlef | European-African: as long as it is burned as an image, yes | 20:38 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | Just installed Hardy Heron. Logged in etc then walked away for tea. Came back, screen is black (powered on) but I can't get it to re-activate? How do I get my screen back? | 20:38 |
| kane77 | danbhfive, could this be caused by the fact that the folder is on fat32 filesystem? | 20:38 |
| whiteeagle | Gizmo_The_Great: what drivers? | 20:38 |
| amenado | tobylane-> is it /dev/sdb ? /dev/sdc ? which drive 2nd 3rd or 4th? | 20:38 |
| psychoid1 | thought so. so upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 etc? | 20:38 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: this means: inspect /etc/fstab for signs of /dev/hd* devices (dev/hdc is now likely to be /dev/sr0) and check where the /cdrom symlink points to. if it still points to /dev/hdc make it point to /dev/sr0) | 20:38 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | whiteeagle, ATI restricted | 20:38 |
| danbhfive | kane77: mmmm, yeah, chmod wont work on fat32 | 20:38 |
| atlef | Gizmo_The_Great: ctrl - alt -bacckspace ? | 20:38 |
| whiteeagle | Gizmo_The_Great: hardy? | 20:38 |
| European-African | atlef: ok thanx, do you have experience with k3b? | 20:39 |
| atlef | *backspace | 20:39 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | atlef, tried that already - no luck | 20:39 |
| kane77 | danbhfive, what about ntfs? | 20:39 |
| tobylane | /dev/hbd1 now | 20:39 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | whiteeagle, yep | 20:39 |
| tobylane | amenado dev hdb1 | 20:39 |
| danbhfive | kane77: i think its the same story | 20:39 |
| atlef | European-African: no, little, but it should be straigtforward | 20:39 |
| whiteeagle | Gizmo_The_Great: i'm using the same combination, never happened to me | 20:39 |
| danbhfive | kane77: but im not sure | 20:39 |
| European-African | atlef: could you guide me, never made a multisession cd bfore | 20:40 |
| kane77 | danbhfive, ok, thanx.. will try on ntfs and if not I will free some space on ext3 partition | 20:40 |
| amenado | tobylane then use that /dev/sdb1, when you are formatting it tells you what drives it sees does it not? | 20:40 |
| h00k | kane77: fat32 doesn't support file permissions, this was introduced in NTFS, that is odd | 20:40 |
| danbhfive | kane77: you may just need to setup your fstab | 20:40 |
| dbrewer_rjr | my java applets are failing to load that have worked for a long time. did something change? | 20:41 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | whiteeagle, I will reboot and disable screensaver - see if that works | 20:41 |
| whiteeagle | Gizmo_The_Great: ok | 20:41 |
| atlef | European-African: if k3b is installed, just burn an cd image, choose not to close, or make a multisession cd from the menu, add files later and close it. | 20:41 |
| SliM1 | ok, synaptic also failed | 20:41 |
| kane77 | h00k, ntfs actually worked... danbhfive thank you it is solved :) | 20:41 |
| jotil | amenado: seems to be a bug somewhere. here is something: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24/+bug/185470/comments/65 | 20:41 |
| FluxD | Hi, I would like to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04. In the instructions it says not to upgrade through SSH. What other way is there? | 20:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 185470 in linux "iwl3945 not functioning : microcode error" [Unknown,In progress] | 20:41 |

| amenado | jotil okay good find.. | 20:41 |
| SliM1 | i'll have to borrow a motherboard | 20:42 |
| slestak | FluxD: maybe they are warning aginst remote upgrade? i dunno. havent seen that warning | 20:42 |
| atlef | European-African: hope you get it as you want it, and good luck | 20:42 |
| knoeki | http://pastebin.com/d15430274 <--- I get those missing when trying to compile IDJC. apt-get build-dep diddn't work either, and the aptitude package for idjc has broken shoutcast/mp3 support. | 20:42 |
| thefish | how can i mark an ext3 fs as clean? | 20:42 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: uh, how can I make it to point to /dev/sr0 | 20:42 |
| FluxD | slestak, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#head-e059d5452a24b50d09c64df48058ef2d834eb197 | 20:42 |
| slestak | FluxD: i dunno. | 20:43 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: did you get it yet? I think its pretty important to be running the .24 kernel on hardy. If you can't you may have to reinstall | 20:43 |
| FluxD | slestak, any other way? | 20:43 |
| slestak | FluxD: do you have physicall access to the machine, i mean is it colo or sth? | 20:44 |
| Juzzers | I have a networking issue, I want to get roaming working, I can connect if I force the ssid and put in the relevant details but it is refusing to detect anything else and says that the interface cannot be detected | 20:44 |
| arthur | question why when i insert a blank cd into hardy nothing pops up asking what to do? | 20:44 |
| psychoid1 | is there a usb featured install then for 8.04? | 20:44 |
| FluxD | slestak, It in a datacenter | 20:44 |
| European-African | atlef: do you know what these writing modes are? DAO TAO and RAW? and which I should use? | 20:44 |
| amenado | jotil did that link suggestion helped? | 20:44 |
| slestak | FluxD: even if they recommend against it, you may have no other choice. | 20:44 |
| sanderqd | hi! just installed hardy, and it seems like my mouse cursor automatically moves to the focused window. where do I turn that off? | 20:45 |
| FluxD | slestak, ok thanks | 20:45 |
| atlef | European-African: no, but does it say multisession anywhere? | 20:45 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, yah, I recreated the source.list file, and update-manager is downloading files... I'm going to go CLI in second and apt-get... I should have started there, but the GUI was just so tempting.. | 20:45 |
| slestak | FluxD: unless you go to the DC | 20:45 |
| European-African | atlef: yes | 20:45 |
| FluxD | slestak, Umm yea little too far to go :) | 20:45 |
| Juzzers | any suggestions folks... am about to go on a 7hr train journey with wifi on it :( | 20:45 |
| atlef | European-African: then dont mind about the other things | 20:45 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: looking at it closer it seems that /cdrom points to /media/cdrom0 which in turn points to something in /dev/... so you actually have to look at /media /cdrom0 . you can delete thta symlink and recreate a corrct one by sudo ln -s /media/cdrom0 /dev/sr0 | 20:45 |
| hossam | hello, i've install gnash video player on ubuntu 8.04 64-bit but videos will not begin to play, although the visual interface is visible | 20:46 |

| moya | what is the recommended way of installing 2.6.25 in hardy ? | 20:46 |
| jotil | amenado: it just did. working. | 20:46 |
| SliM1 | tears are in my eyes: i have managed to remove gnome-screensaver (which would remove ubuntu-desktop with apt-get) using dpkg | 20:46 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, sorry, it's the same.. apt-get -f install finds nothing. | 20:46 |
| SliM1 | i'll go on with upgrading | 20:46 |
| amenado | jotil congrats | 20:46 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: omg I'm a newb, :(( please step by step | 20:46 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: ok, when ready, try this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:47 |
| jotil | amenado: thanks for the help though. it was out of the ordinary solution. | 20:47 |
| slestak | drum roll please | 20:47 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, The files were all libqt4, so I don't think the update manager was really doing what I wanted | 20:47 |
| amenado | jotil indeed it is | 20:47 |
| European-African | atlef: it is asking if I want to simulate? simulate what? | 20:47 |
| === apecat_ is now known as apecat | ||
| danbhfive | drvduck: what? | 20:47 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: ok | 20:47 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: i will follow the last command | 20:47 |
| hossam | should i be using a flash player other than gnash? i cannot get youtube videos to play successfully in firefox on 8.04 | 20:47 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: no... i made a mistake | 20:48 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: ? | 20:48 |
| European-African | atlef: it is asking if I want to simulate? simulate what? | 20:48 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, the update manage started to get files, I was hoping they were kernel files, but ... nope. And, dist-upgrade finds no new packages to load | 20:48 |
| atlef | European-African: it simulates the burn | 20:49 |
| Arelis | How do i minimize my windows into icons in the panel and make all windows fullscreen (but make the panels appear when you hover over the corners), so you switch between windows using icons in fullscreen? | 20:49 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: you made a mistake in the last command? | 20:49 |
| European-African | atlef: do i want that? | 20:49 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: so actually you won't have to deal with these symlinks... just inspect /etc/fstab. is there /dev/hdc mentioned? | 20:49 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: you have a bad upgrade, let it get the files | 20:49 |
| European-African | atlef: i am guessing no | 20:49 |
| atlef | European-African: no | 20:49 |
| European-African | ok | 20:49 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, thanks for everything, but.... can you recommend a good backup manager so I can reinstall? | 20:49 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: another easy trick is to start up synaptic, and remove anything that is obsolete | 20:49 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, oh, yeah... autoremove? | 20:50 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, or... sorry, how would I do that? | 20:50 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: not autoremove, synaptic, and then remove everything under local/obsolete | 20:50 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | Next problem...Installed HArdy Heron. Firefox 3 does not support the Firefox Bookmarks plugin. So I uninstalled FF3 and installed FF2 using Synaptic. FF 2 works fine, but when I try to install the Foxmarks plugin it tells me that there was an error and to examine the error console. I;ve done that and it relates to a location specified in js file. Anyone else experienced this? | 20:50 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Eh... I don't know what to say. After trying Ubuntu for more than a day, I still feel extremely alien and uncomfortable in it. Every single app behaves and looks differently. There is no uniformity. Everything feels cheap and hacked together by people with no taste. It has several nice things about it, but I don't know... I'm lost. I can't go back to crappy Windows either. Plus it's costing money and not a little | 20:51 |

| RyanPrior | My networking keeps dying. Is there a way I can restart all my network modules without having to restart my computer? | 20:53 |
| tuxlab2 | i dont know | 20:53 |
| tuxlab2 | that | 20:53 |
| danbhfive | drvduck: but truthfully, backup and clean install is the way to go | 20:53 |
| blo0dBeast | I am getting errors with apt-get E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). The full problem is here: http://pastebin.com/m7f8e805f Can someone please help!? | 20:53 |
| tuxlab2 | no hay una chava que se apellide romero | 20:53 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: I'm not actually doing that, its my friend, and hes slow | 20:53 |
| RyanPrior | drvduck: Backup and clean installs is almost never absolutely necessary, but fixing things by troubleshooting can be excessively time-wasting. | 20:54 |
| European-African | atlef: I also have this cd that has cocked up data on a multisession session, can I block that session and add one that works? | 20:54 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: does < dmesg | grep 'Attached scsi CD-ROM' > turn something up ? | 20:54 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: I'll give you his fstab file in pastebin | 20:54 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: ok | 20:54 |
| xand_ | hi folks, does anyone knows if i can retrieve some deleted playlist files from amarok, since i'm running hardy and they did not go to ~/.local/share/Trash ? | 20:54 |
| drvduck | danbhfive, Thanks. Removing the obselet did something.... am going to reboot now (soon). Thanks a ton! | 20:54 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: http://pastebin.com/m283a8429 | 20:54 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: this is the problem "Starting CPU frequency scaling daemon: CpuFreq support not available." | 20:54 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: see what can you do please | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: your cpu is not configured for freq scaling | 20:55 |
| drvduck | RyanPrior, Thank you to you as well. I'm wasting time, but I'm learning a ton | 20:55 |
| atlef | European-African: i don't know | 20:55 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, so there isn't really anything I can do? | 20:55 |
| drvduck | Merry christmas to all, and to all a good night! | 20:55 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: I know that http://pastebin.com/m34cf9edd line has to be corrcted but how | 20:55 |
| DVS01 | is there a way to make my sound in ubuntu be forwarded to my windows machine and played from the windows machine? | 20:55 |
| European-African | ok, thanx again anyway! | 20:55 |
| mr_boo | i've upgraded to hardy | 20:56 |
| whiteeagle | mr_boo: great! ;) | 20:56 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: what cpu do you have? is cpu scaling enabled on bios? what does cpufreq-info returns? | 20:56 |
| mr_boo | are the commands in xorg.conf still the same? | 20:56 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: yeah, it's still /dev/hdc , that's wrong. probably it has to read /dev/scd0 | 20:57 |
| mr_boo | i've calculated modelines and added them | 20:57 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: so, should he change it to /dev/scd0 ? | 20:57 |
| mr_boo | this in conjunction with option "useedid" "false" is supposed to work right? | 20:57 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: worth a try (you can't break it more that it already is by that) | 20:58 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: :( | 20:58 |
| mr_boo | whiteeagle: have you ever messed with the xorg.conf file ever? | 20:58 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: i'm quite optimistic it'll work | 20:58 |
| whiteeagle | mr_boo: yes I did | 20:58 |
| pand0ra | Hi, what boot parameter do I run for the kernel to allow fdisk of a SATA drive? | 20:59 |
| mr_boo | whiteeagle: just wondered if they've changed any syntax in hardy | 20:59 |
| RyanPrior | mr_boo: xorg.conf is very different now - much more autodetection is being done, so the file is much smaller. | 20:59 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU. I have an AMD 64 FX 52 | 20:59 |
| whiteeagle | mr_boo: i dunno :) | 20:59 |
| mr_boo | RyanPrior: do you know the substitute for the good ol' 'Option "UseEDID" "False"'? | 20:59 |
| Dynos | why is there so much unstable software in hardy, built as an lts? | 20:59 |

| ubottu | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 21:00 |
| RyanPrior | mr_boo: It might still work, but if not, you might want to ask in #xorg | 21:00 |
| Mimi | Ola, te encontro no canal pt | 21:00 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: try to load powernow-k8 "sudo modprobe powernow-k8" | 21:00 |
| stefg | Dynos: you'll want firefox 3 in 2 years... | 21:00 |
| Dynos | i mean its far beyond reason to include ff3 in a stable release | 21:01 |
| mr_boo | RyanPrior: gonna try, thanks | 21:01 |
| Mimi | stefg, I wanted ff3 ever since I used the beta :D mine works flawlessly =^__^= but so does ubuntu. I guess I'm spoiled rotten | 21:01 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: should he restart now? | 21:01 |
| Dynos | since its beta | 21:01 |
| Oli`` | cluck a duck! Wine 1.0rc1!! | 21:01 |
| pand0ra | Whats the kernel option for sata drives? | 21:01 |

| === tobias_ is now known as tobias | ||
| rjent | Greetings, could someone be so kind to tell me how to reset the mbr on a compact flash in linux? | 21:01 |
| stefg | Mimi: same here... FF3 is solid enough for inclusion and will be updated over time | 21:02 |
| recon | I don't suppose there's a way to set all the configurations to factory default? | 21:02 |
| Mimi | Oli``, Really?!?! | 21:02 |
| RyanPrior | Dynos: LTS releases are future-facing, since the software is going to be in use for a long time. | 21:02 |
| Dynos | Mimi: i guess not | 21:02 |
| NW2190 | hey, I'm having consistent trouble with slow internet on my ubuntu computer. I installed the RC originally so I'm thinking about installing the official release to see if it fixes anything. Is it possible that that will help? | 21:02 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: yes | 21:02 |
| Starnestommy | Dynos: firefox will be upgraded to the released version once it's ready | 21:02 |
| Oli`` | Mimi: really! | 21:02 |
| RyanPrior | Dynos: If the beta software in Ubuntu doesn't live up to your expectations, just ask for a refund, no problem. | 21:02 |
| Dynos | Starnestommy: i know, but arent there several rc where u could include a findished ff3? | 21:03 |
| stefg | Dynos: don't look at words... look at reality | 21:03 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, I am semi positive that it's enabled in the BIOS | 21:03 |
| RyanPrior | Dynos: Nobody has a finished FF3 yet. The guys and gals at Mozilla are still hashing that out. | 21:03 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: i duno whay it does not load it works on my AMD 64 X2 3800+ | 21:04 |
| Dynos | compiz has become unusable too | 21:04 |
| === Dr-Digital is now known as DrDigital | ||
| Mimi | There are 2 kinds of people in the world: those who love ff3b and those who don't. Lets leave it at that ;p | 21:04 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, Maybe I should just check the BIOS to be sure | 21:04 |
| stefg | Dynos: not here | 21:04 |
| suicidePills | I just installed the proprietary ATI drivers on Heron and now my monitor displays "D-Sub: Can not display this mode" | 21:04 |
| Mimi | Compiz is flawless for me too.... | 21:04 |
| Dynos | Mimi: stefg: gutsy works flawlessly too | 21:05 |
| Mimi | Dynos, *shudder* I like to upgrade my system when I can tyvm! :D | 21:05 |
| stefg | Dynos: not here :) (again) | 21:05 |
| mr_boo | is the modeline syntax the same in hardy? | 21:06 |
| xand_ | hi folks, does anyone knows if i can retrieve some deleted playlist files from amarok, since i'm running hardy and they did not go to ~/.local/share/Trash ? | 21:06 |
| limbeaux | should the lamp choice in server setup have everything in place for cgi to work or are there more steps to getting cgi to work | 21:06 |
| Mimi | *sigh* Hardy Heron is everything (well, 99%) I could ask for... | 21:06 |
| hossam | is it possible to run ubuntu server off of a internal hard drive through virtualbox? | 21:06 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: strange, its the same at me too | 21:06 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: I should change it too | 21:06 |
| warlock_handler | hi guys | 21:06 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: though my cd-rom is broken, it doesn't work | 21:06 |
| Dynos | Mimi: ^^ seems that it works well, unfortunately not on my machine | 21:07 |
| suicidePills | I just installed the proprietary ATI drivers on Heron and now my monitor displays "D-Sub: Can not display this mode" Is this a driver thing or a xorg.conf thing? Any ideas on how to at least get my display to the point where I can see things on it again? | 21:07 |
| Myrtti | hossam: why wouldn't it be? | 21:07 |
| Myrtti | suicidePills: how did you install the drivers? | 21:07 |
| Mimi | hossam, yes it is, very much possible . join #ubuntu-server and #vbox | 21:07 |
| hossam | Myrtti: in the hard drive manager i can only create a virtual disk | 21:07 |
| warlock_handler | any room freenode IRC where you can find freelancers... for web development | 21:07 |
| suicidePills | from the Hardware Drivers dialog | 21:07 |

| Mimi | warlock_handler, #web | 21:07 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: thnx dear | 21:07 |
| Mimi | This channel has now become the #1 stop for asking abouut other channels xD | 21:07 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: he gets the same error again | 21:07 |
| Mimi | Welcome | 21:08 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: which is ? | 21:08 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: I am sorry | 21:08 |
| === sinsun_ is now known as Sinsun | ||
| suicidePills | Myrtti, I installed them from the hardware drivers dialog in Administration | 21:08 |
| Myrtti | suicidePills: jolly good | 21:08 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: but I use ubuntu at home.. so i kinda feel safe here | 21:08 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: he changed /dev/hdc to /dev/scd0 | 21:08 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: which error message does he get ? | 21:09 |
| Mimi | warlock_handler, I've seen a few people in #web use Ubuntu.... you should feel at home there too, I hope! :) | 21:09 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: rebooted, and eject still doesn't work | 21:09 |
| mr_boo | is the modeline syntax the same in hardy? | 21:09 |
| hoens`rZ | can anoyone help me witha driver installation problem? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: yes | 21:09 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: thanks | 21:09 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: sudo eject | 21:09 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: eject: tried to use `/dev/hdc' as device name but it is no block device | 21:09 |
| whiteeagle | eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' | 21:09 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: see above | 21:09 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: ok all sarcasm being obvious.... thnx for the help... sorry to disturb :D | 21:09 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: just curoius, but has the syntax for disabling edid changed in hardy? | 21:09 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: thats what he gets for eject | 21:09 |
| hoens`rZ | can anoyone help me witha driver installation problem? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: no, all syntax the same | 21:10 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: so it might be /dev/scd1 | 21:10 |
| Starnestommy | hoens`rZ: what is the problem? | 21:10 |
| Mimi | warlock_handler, sarcasm? :/ | 21:10 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: i just can't disable edid | 21:10 |
| hoens`rZ | Starnestommy: i get a blank screen now when trying to boot :) | 21:10 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: ok | 21:10 |
| Starnestommy | hoens`rZ: what driver was it? | 21:10 |
| suicidePills | I just installed the proprietary ATI drivers on Heron and now my monitor displays "D-Sub: Can not display this mode" Is this a driver thing or a xorg.conf thing? Any ideas on how to at least get my display to the point where I can see things on it again? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: the disable edid is driver speicifc | 21:10 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: the options are different for each driver | 21:11 |
| hoens`rZ | Starnestommy: atm i think just whatever apt-get install nvidia-glx installs | 21:11 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: you said "I've seen a few people in #web use Ubuntu.... you should feel at home there too, I hope! :)" i thought this was sarcastic | 21:11 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: the command Option "UseEDID" "False" worked in gutsy | 21:11 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: so if possible give me a pastebin listing of 'dmesg' of the machine in question | 21:11 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: what video card ? | 21:11 |
| shree_ | Hi All, Has anyone tried chrooting a ssh remote login user | 21:11 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: or what driver should I say | 21:11 |
| crimsun | shree_: yes, it works fine. | 21:11 |
| shree_ | crimsun: which method did you use | 21:12 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: the restricted 8800gt | 21:12 |
| hoens`rZ | but now kubuntu doesn't put anything to screen | 21:12 |
| Mimi | warlock_handler, Oh its not, there's a few people who use Ubuntu for their web development and design, I think it's nice to see others using Ubuntu too, for that. | 21:12 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, I don't know how this is possible but it says the BIOS is not installed... Wouldn't it be impossible for my hardware to communicate without the BIOS...? | 21:12 |
| crimsun | shree_: this was back in the 3.x days. What methods are available now (besides the new chroot)? | 21:12 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: Hmm, let me look at the nvidia docs | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: yep; bios is allways present on a pc | 21:12 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: heheh i am a marketing person... i do business development... | 21:12 |
| ikonia | !offtopic | warlock_handler | 21:13 |
| ubottu | warlock_handler: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:13 |
| warlock_handler | Mimi: and i love ubuntu... kicked windows out of the window | 21:13 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, why on Earth would it tell me it's not installed... This is a bit to odd dont you think? | 21:13 |
| corno | so... nun war's das aber hoffentlich wirklich :) | 21:13 |
| twistage | Is there a way to edit Compiz settings in Hardy, rather than just choosing between three options None, Normal and Extra? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | blo0dBeast: probably a raid/scsi bios | 21:13 |
| erUSUL | blo0dBeast: who/what says is not instaled? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | twistage: ccsm | 21:13 |
| stefg | !ccsm | twistage | 21:13 |
| ubottu | twistage: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 21:13 |
| Scunizi | !ccsm | twistage | 21:13 |
| twistage | thank you | 21:13 |
| shree_ | crimsun: i am new to this. but when i googled i came across lot of methods (probably i coudlnt find the similarity) like say, chrootssh.sourceforge, scponly, rsh... | 21:14 |
| ikonia | shree_: why do you want to chroot someone to their home dir ? | 21:14 |
| blo0dBeast | erUSUL, when i press delete to enter it tells me that, and this machine use to be configured for raid so what ikonia said makes sense | 21:14 |
| komputes | How can I view the USB ID database: /usr/share/misc/usb.ids | 21:14 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: my modelines appeared in gutsy | 21:14 |
| Scunizi | komputes: maybe with lsusb -v | 21:14 |
| shree_ | crimsun: i want them not to be able to access nor see the rest of the filesystem incl other users data | 21:15 |
| komputes | Scunizi: that shows what on the machine | 21:15 |
| crimsun | shree_: please see debian-administration for a good tutorial. | 21:15 |
| void^ | komputes: with less | 21:15 |
| MrBill | I have attempted to burn a Data DVD from Brasero and recieved errors at the end of the burn. The disc is not mounted, and will not eject when I push the eject button on my drive. Is there a command I can type to force a drive eject so I can put a new blank in and try again? | 21:15 |
| ikonia | shree_: what is your end goal | 21:15 |
| Fishscene | komputes: sudo nano /usr/share/misc/usb.ids | 21:15 |
| komputes | Scunizi: /usr/share/misc/usb.ids shows all the ID's of all recognized USB hardware | 21:15 |
| Fishscene | Is that what you are looking for? | 21:15 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: what do you mean "appeared" | 21:16 |
| Scunizi | komputes: ls is kinda like dir in dos but more powerful. I guess you could describe it as list.. then usb for usb interfaces/devices. | 21:16 |
| shree_ | ikonia: i want to set up a webserver and people should be able to access and upload their files into their home directory | 21:16 |
| kindofabuzz | MrBill: see that little hole on the cd drive? stick a paper clip in there | 21:16 |
| ikonia | shree_: just change the permissions on /home | 21:16 |
| sriramoman | how do i ubdate my offline ubuntu repos? | 21:16 |
| komputes | Fishscene: still in binary type format gobledigook | 21:16 |
| ikonia | shree_: or use restricted shell | 21:16 |
| Fishscene | strange | 21:16 |
| shree_ | ikonia: but i read that rsh has lot of drawbacks | 21:16 |
| ikonia | shree_: I didn't say rsh | 21:16 |
| ikonia | shree_: thats remote shell | 21:16 |
| Scunizi | kombucha: the -v means verbose | 21:16 |
| komputes | Scunizi: as I said lsusb will not list everything available,m just what is on your machine, not what i'm looking for | 21:17 |
| MrBill | kindofabuzz: I've always tried not to use that little hole on a system that's powered on.... Is that really the best bet here? Isn't the drive just "locked" so that I can't/don't eject the disc without the OS being aware? | 21:17 |
| shree_ | ikonia: sorry i did mean restricted shell | 21:17 |
| ikonia | shree_: there are drawbacks to chrooting too | 21:17 |
| ikonia | shree_: everything has pro's and con's | 21:17 |
| whiteeagle | stefg: he's too noobish he can't understand me, now I gave him to see what does his terminal output on dmesg | grep 'Attached scsi CD-ROM' | 21:17 |
| LadyNikon | so.. i am working on setting this up :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zenoss | 21:17 |
| shree_ | ikonia: i read in some pages a code that will allow access and hence the user can break | 21:17 |
| m4u17k | ......................... | 21:17 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: those resolutions and refreshrates showed up in the drop down meny in nvidia settings | 21:17 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: good, that will turn up the truth | 21:18 |
| ikonia | shree_: I can write a webpage that says "I can break chroot like this" | 21:18 |
| kindofabuzz | MrBill: it won't hurt anything while it's on, just stick it in enough to hit the latch. other thatn that i dunno | 21:18 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: now my modelines are totally ignored | 21:18 |
| komputes | Fishscene: sudo nano /usr/share/misc/usb.id , go ahrad and try it | 21:18 |
| LadyNikon | I am near the bottom where i am suppose to test it.. | 21:18 |
| Fishscene | komputes, it worked fine for me- although it was pretty much empty | 21:18 |
| shree_ | ikonia: hehehe. i read it in two pages < i am not arguing> | 21:18 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: shouldn't you be using nvidia-glx-new package, rather than nvidia-glx | 21:18 |
| stefg | whiteeagle: make sure he knows that is case sensitive | 21:18 |
| blo0dBeast | ikonia, so can my bios problem be fixed? it use to be setup for raid but it isn't any longer... what would be your suggestion | 21:18 |
| shree_ | ikonia: had you used it earlier successfully | 21:18 |
| ikonia | shree_: you see the point I'm getting at, it's as secure as you make it, a badly setup chroot is easy to get through | 21:18 |
| Fishscene | komputes: empty meaning there was info in there, but no configuration setup | 21:18 |
| komputes | Fishscene: well I should be seeing all the USB untique identifiers | 21:19 |
| ikonia | blo0dBeast: what bios problem ? I don't see a bios problem | 21:19 |
| LadyNikon | actually i followed the original website.. http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/install-guides/install-on-ubuntu-7.04/ can someone ehlp me with this | 21:19 |
| MrBill | kindofabuzz: ok, i'll give it a go. I've certainly ejected discs many times via that button, just never when on. THought I should somehow get Ubuntu to "let go" of the drive, but i'm fine with this if my OS will be fine with this =) | 21:19 |
| LadyNikon | I apparently am missing something. | 21:19 |
| suicidePills | I just installed the proprietary ATI drivers on Heron and now my monitor displays "D-Sub: Can not display this mode" Is this a driver thing or a xorg.conf thing? Any ideas on how to at least get my display to the point where I can see things on it again? | 21:19 |
| blo0dBeast | ikonia, the one that says its not installed | 21:19 |
| shree_ | ikonia: you mean if i set it up properly using rsh, it should be unbreakable? | 21:19 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: do you think that is the issue? | 21:19 |
| komputes | Fishscene: this is bizzare because i can open /usr/share/misc/pci.ids with no issues | 21:19 |
| ikonia | blo0dBeast: thats not an error | 21:19 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: your using the wrong package, I just suggested that | 21:19 |
| sriramoman | how do i update my offline ubuntu repos? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | shree_: I think it reduces the risks, very few things are "unbreakable" | 21:20 |
| LadyNikon | if its offline you cant update it sriramoman. | 21:20 |
| mr_boo | ikonia: i found out that i've got nvidia-glx-new installed | 21:20 |
| SliM1 | suicidePills: hardy recovery mode should have a xorg fix | 21:20 |
| Fishscene | komputes, yea.. unfortunately I haven't a clue why your file is so garbled | 21:20 |
| komputes | Fishscene: and I have no clue why your file is empty | 21:20 |
| === marko_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| blo0dBeast | ikonia, ok well its causing one "emifreq-applet, action "start" failed." | 21:20 |
| ikonia | mr_boo: try hardcoding your modelines ? look in the xorg.log to see why it's not using them | 21:20 |
| sriramoman | LadyNikon, i mean update its contents using internet in my office | 21:20 |
| suicidePills | Slim1, how do I use that? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | blo0dBeast: what is the error ? | 21:20 |
| LadyNikon | sriramoman: sudo apt-get install update | 21:21 |
| shree_ | ikonia: ok. let me see into the rsh stuff too. might be there is a solution to that problem | 21:21 |
| mussolini | sorry for nub question | 21:21 |
| SliM1 | suicidePills: enter revovery mode (pres escape before grub boots) | 21:21 |
| SliM1 | press* | 21:21 |
| LadyNikon | mussolini: its a nub channel.. you fit in :) | 21:21 |
| mussolini | but how do u rename from terminal line? | 21:21 |

| ikonia | KingOfDos: don't use gentoo guides on ubuntu | 21:24 |
| mohan34u | whiteeagle: who is the real culprit in that bug? firefox? networkManager? | 21:24 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | I thought it would give me 3D cubes? | 21:24 |
| jrib | dsffdsffdsfdd: then you are using compiz | 21:24 |
| ikonia | blo0dBeast: ok, so press F2 or F12 on boot up, what ever your bios key is | 21:24 |
| omer | somebody help me about nvidia driver on ubuntu 8.04 | 21:24 |
| Kirce | awsome thanks guys | 21:24 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | jrib: I thought it had spinning OpenGL cubes. | 21:24 |
| whiteeagle | mohan34u: i guess firefox is | 21:24 |
| Fishscene | dsf, you need to enable 3D cubes in the compiz config | 21:24 |
| blo0dBeast | ikonia, it tells me its not installed | 21:24 |
| jrib | dsffdsffdsfdd: only if you enable it. Install simple-ccsm and then select custom effects | 21:24 |
| dsffdsffdsfdd | Hrm... | 21:25 |

| === FatherPrepareToD is now known as Die | ||
| ikonia | thorny_sun: there are multiple IRC server | 21:28 |
| ikonia | brant: no they are not | 21:28 |

| crdlb | thorny_sun: that's because you happen to get a different freenode server | 21:28 |

| Starnestommy | er, it's 12 or 20 | 21:29 |
| thorny_sun | oh ok-- so irc.ubuntu.com is just another name for the same thing? | 21:29 |
| crdlb | thorny_sun: irc.ubuntu.com redirects to irc.freenode.net which picks a server for you | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | cmorgan: depends o the workload i guess | 21:29 |
| Starnestommy | thorny_sun: exactly | 21:29 |
| thorny_sun | kewl-- thanks everyone!!! | 21:29 |
| atlef | _muss: so what was your original question | 21:29 |
| === darkBLACK__ is now known as darkBLACK_ | ||
| crdlb | thorny_sun: it's done so that ubuntu could switch to another network in the future by changing the irc.ubuntu.com redirect | 21:30 |
| cmorgan | erUSUL: i've heard xfs suggested but i didn't want to pick a filesystem that couldn't be extended as the lvm volume grows | 21:30 |
| atlef | and by the way, i was just pulling your leg. :-) no offence | 21:30 |
| ikonia | Kirce: no | 21:30 |
| ikonia | Kirce: ext3 is ext2 with journaling | 21:30 |
| ikonia | cmorgan: doesn't matter | 21:30 |
| ikonia | cmorgan: depends on the data, not that it's lvm | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | cmorgan: xfs is high performance filesystem and i'm sure it can be resized | 21:30 |

| RyanPrior | IshinoSan: you can check with Synaptic. | 22:22 |

| No1CaNTeL | hey guys :D quick q for ya. I just updated from 7.10 to 8.04 and everything seems to work ok so far, but my login screen has been shifted over to the bottom right and I cannot see my login fields which is getting a bit annoying :P I tried to set a new login screen but that hasn't helped either. once I am logged in, everything is fine. I tried setting different resolutions as well but that hasn't helped | 22:31 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, just waiting for it to finish scanning all devices | 22:31 |
| RyanPrior | thorny_sun: Look in preferences. If there's no preference for it, you'll need to switch to a more flexible IRC client. (I use Chatzilla.) | 22:32 |
| thorny_sun | Chatzilla it is | 22:32 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: Your new hard drive ought to show up in the devices drop-down in the upper right hand corner. | 22:32 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, its still "scanning all devices" | 22:32 |
| RyanPrior | saerg: I'm glad it worked. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Compiz's configuration layout. Perhaps ask in #compiz or on the compiz mailing list? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | NoEDID=1 appears to be the option you where after. Apologies for the slow response, it's quite well hidden in the docs | 22:33 |

| ikonia | mr_boo: NoEDID=1 appears to be the option you where after. Apologies for the slow response, it's quite well hidden in the docs | 22:33 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: Give it a minute - sometimes mine takes awhile, and I've only got two hard drives. | 22:33 |
| saerg | RyanPrior: i don't want compiz, it's started somewhere... | 22:33 |
| crdlb | saerg: ubuntu uses a key in gconf-editor in /desktop/gnome iirc | 22:33 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, yeah, this is a 750 gig so it could be a moment | 22:34 |
| |mr_boo| | thanks | 22:35 |
| |mr_boo| | ikonia: thanks | 22:35 |
| RyanPrior | crdlb: His desktop effects reflected that effects were disabled but they really weren't; he enabled them and re-disabled them, and then they were really disabled. He wants to be able to do that in bulk for many users rather than doing it manually. | 22:36 |

| shree_ | Hi All, I accidentaly happened to change the permission to root. I want to know the default permissions | 22:36 |
| === tobias_ is now known as Tobias92 | ||
| jrib | shree_: recursively? | 22:36 |
| shree_ | I mean for others | 22:36 |
| shree_ | jrib: nope not recursive | 22:37 |
| jrib | shree_: what command did you run exactly? | 22:37 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, ok finished and I see it... now, here's what we are doing, Transfering files we want to keep from the current 250 gig drive... then formatting the 250 and installing Hardy as a dual boot with XPee. Any suggestion for the partition of the 750 Gig? | 22:37 |
| Tobias92 | Hey ubuntu people. I have a partition (/dev/sda2) and apparently this is "lvm" which I understand is some kind of logical partition. I cant mount it with mount on commandline, any idea how I can? | 22:37 |
| Pelo | what's wrong with these crontab lines ? 35 07-01/1 * * * kill $(pgrep -f gdesklets) | 22:37 |
| Pelo | 36 06-00/1 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/gdesklets | 22:37 |
| saerg | crdlb: window_manager perhaps? how do i edit that for other users? | 22:38 |
| shree_ | jrib: it was chmod o-rwx / followed by chmod o+rwx | 22:38 |
| shree_ | jrib: / | 22:38 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: /dev/sda2 is not lvm | 22:38 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, well, that's a relief. What is it then? | 22:38 |
| jrib | shree_: 755 are the default permissions on / | 22:38 |
| shree_ | jrib: the second one recovered my system :) | 22:38 |
| shree_ | k | 22:39 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: I'd give your root directory 10GB, have en encrypted LVM for /var, /tmp, and /swap, (prolly about 5-15GB for the three combined) and use the rest for an encrypted /home. | 22:39 |
| shree_ | jrib: thanks for that | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: the second partition on your primary disk | 22:39 |
| No1CaNTeL | can ne1 help with the above pls ?? | 22:39 |
| RyanPrior | !patience | No1 | 22:40 |
| ubottu | No1: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 22:40 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, yeah, but when I try to mount it, mount says: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" | 22:40 |
| diesel | I am trying to get compiz to be my default window manager. It was, but when I went to System-Preferences-Appearance that apparently changed. Anyone know how to make compiz default? | 22:40 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, this is a file storage disc | 22:40 |
| No1CaNTeL | lol, my bad :P | 22:40 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: that means that partition is included in a LVM group | 22:40 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, okay, and that somehow prevents me from mounting it? | 22:40 |
| brandonD | just asking should i install 8.04 LTS | 22:40 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, the 250 gig will be the dual boot | 22:40 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: So, all your OS files and so on are going on the 250gb volume | 22:40 |

| ikonia | Tobias92: yes, as it's does not contains a file system it's self as a device | 22:40 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, yessir | 22:41 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, so practically, all data there is lost? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: not at all no | 22:41 |
| benjamindees | Pelo, perhaps cron doesn't grok the bashisms $() and && | 22:41 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: If you want the 750gb volume to be accessible to both Windows and Ubuntu, you can use VFAT or FAT32 for pretty good compatability. I dunno if GParted can format as NTFS yet, but that's a decent option. If you're willing to install an ext fs driver on Windows, you can use ext3. | 22:41 |
| brandonD | SHOULD I INSTALL 8.04 LTS? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: you need to mount the logical volume, from the volume gruop that contains /dev/sda2 | 22:41 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, Huzzah! :). Please tell me, how can I get it back? | 22:41 |
| jrib | brandonD: if you want to | 22:41 |
| ikonia | brandonD: using caps doesn't help you get help | 22:41 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, oh oh... how do I figure that one out? | 22:41 |
| brandonD | ikonia, it obviously did | 22:42 |
| RyanPrior | brandonD: No need for caps. And I like 8.04, but we can't really recommend anything when we don't know your situation. | 22:42 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, thanks again! You are the man! | 22:42 |
| mkquist | is gparted the best partition manager to use? it seams like it takes a long time to get started/scanning... | 22:42 |
| Pelo | benjamindees, no that part is correct, it's the timing bits that are off somehow but I followed the man and a few guides, even tried gcrontab ,thatdidn't work either | 22:42 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: do a "vgdisplay -v" and see which group contains /dev/sda2 - I'd guess vg00 | 22:42 |
| Administrator | yo | 22:42 |
| Rangoon | good | 22:42 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: make sure you set a mount point for the new drive if you want to to be mounted automatically in Linux. | 22:43 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, one unrelated question for you... how can I have fonts and resources (for gimp, Inkscape) available for all users in Ubuntu? | 22:43 |
| Tobias92 | no volume groups found, ikonia :(. Although I do think it was "VolGroup00", I extracted that with "pvdisplay /dev/sda2" | 22:43 |
| brandonD | RyanPrior, well how would i be able to tell you my situation? my graphics card and stuff? or everything? | 22:43 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: that good, although the worry is that there is no volume groups found | 22:43 |
| Mudassar | plz help me in sharing internet connection with xp users | 22:43 |
| ikonia | Tobias92: I assume a vgdisplay VolGroup00 doesn't do anything | 22:43 |
| RyanPrior | DarthGimp: add them to /usr/share/fonts (probably /truetype/something) and then run fc-cache -fv as root. | 22:43 |
| Administrator | hey can ask some about installing ubuntu 8.04 in a partitioned hard drive? | 22:44 |
| Pelo | Mudassar, try and look up internet sharing in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org | 22:44 |

| erUSUL | !ask | Administrator | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Administrator: 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. :-) | 22:44 |
| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, one time.. some how.. I will help you out this much. | 22:44 |

| Tobias92 | ikonia, aye, nothing. I do have to mention though that this is from a linux installation a long time ago | 22:44 |

| DarthGimp | RyanPrior, see you around I hope... off to attempt formatting.. oh wait.. you said mount point.. how? | 22:45 |

| ikonia | Tobias92: if the volume group is gone, then I'd expect the logical volumes to also be gone | 22:46 |
| Tobias92 | ikonia, okay thanks :). I'll try something else, but then I think ill have to format it | 22:46 |

| electrofreak | ... is us.archive.ubuntu.com being really slow for anyone else?? | 23:07 |
| No1CaNTeL | position I think, I cant really tell because it is shifted that far over and down | 23:07 |
| Olgem | crimsun, oh thank you :D | 23:07 |
| saerg | vreer: i dunno then, lspci "sees" only pci-ids and them up in a list, maybe your chip isn't in that list | 23:07 |
| vreer | almost every site says only "WLAN 80.11b/g/" | 23:08 |
| mkquist | No1CaNTeL: have you tried maybe changing the resolution in xorg? that might allow you to see it... | 23:08 |
| vreer | saerg: indeed, cannot see it there | 23:08 |
| No1CaNTeL | how do I go about doing that? | 23:08 |

| ted_ | izinucs: Whoah - thanks dude!!! That has worked a treat. I didn't realise the plugins were managed and maintained within each users individual mozilla profile - I thought the addons were incorporated into the main app. Obviously by moving the .mozilla you start a fresh. Excellent - thanks again. | 23:10 |
| vreer | and at least doens't show a wlan-ish thing (or unknown thing ftm) | 23:10 |

| ikonia | ir1: did you back them up ? | 23:12 |

| vallhalla81 | how do you get ubuntu to play dvds? | 23:12 |
| izinucs | Rangoon, I think what you are running into is the hard wall of 4 primary partitions on your HD. the 4th partition you need to configure as an extended partition. Thien within that you can create more partitions to suit your needs. | 23:12 |

| Mudassar | ok | 23:19 |
| ikonia | Uranellus: yes, I know. But it has nothing to do with your home direcotry as Stormcr0w was suggesting | 23:19 |

| Stormcr0w | ikonia: the folder I mean to enable is in the home directory, what does /var/lib/usershares have to do with it? | 23:20 |
| Rangoon | mkquist: yes | 23:20 |
| ikonia | Stormcr0w: it's the library it needs | 23:20 |
| Stormcr0w | ikonia; and why are that folder's permissions messed up? | 23:20 |
| ikonia | Uranellus: check the permissions on /var/lib/usershares | 23:21 |
| ikonia | Stormcr0w: they may not be | 23:21 |
| mkquist | Rangoon: ones going to hafta be an extended to install linux, need a swap and system partition | 23:21 |
| Stormcr0w | ikonia: so I just change the permissions or the owner on that folder? | 23:21 |
| Stormcr0w | ikonia: first | 23:21 |
| ikonia | Stormcr0w: no, look at the permissions first | 23:21 |
| jlee | damn it it just crashed again | 23:22 |
| Uranellus | Stormcr0w: ikonia: adding yourself to a group that has write perm on that folder would be the better solution | 23:22 |
| airstrike | anyone | 23:22 |
| airstrike | ? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | check the permissions first | 23:22 |

| meoblast001 | does anyone know how to make it so a process starts up with the system....... the easy way... i saw a few hard ones | 23:22 |
| ikonia | airstrike: what good is saying anyone, people either a.) didn't see your question so anyone means nothing tot hem b.) dont' know the anwer so saying "anyone" won't make them know it | 23:22 |
| airstrike | this is not my first time on irc | 23:23 |
| Uranellus | Stormcr0w: ikonia: freshly installed, they are: drwxrwx--T 2 root sambashare 4096 2008-05-10 00:22 usershares | 23:23 |
| ikonia | airstrike: so ? | 23:23 |
| airstrike | asking 'anyone' seemed more polite than just repeating my questions | 23:23 |
| airstrike | so don't patronize me. | 23:23 |
| ikonia | airstrike: I'm not | 23:23 |
| airstrike | gedit is not working when i run it as root from the terminal. i've tried 'sudo gedit' and 'gksudo gedit' and nothing seems to work. can anyone enligthen me on this? | 23:23 |

| vreer | pls repeat then, airstrike :) | 23:23 |

| jlee | lookup @reboot | 23:23 |

| mkquist | Rangoon: happy to help though | 23:29 |

| crazybagua | Hi folks | 23:30 |
| Mathman | Itaku: well, depending on what you mean by "work" and I suppose what filesystem you throw on it. but most probably, yeah | 23:30 |
| mkquist | Itaku: should work just fine if that's the case | 23:30 |
| Sefram | ikonia: hmm i thought SCP comes from *nix, sure its CLI but a GUI would be much faster sometimes... | 23:30 |

| Jordan_U | fde, You should have also told him that zombie processes can't "use 100% of one CPU" | 23:39 |
| jgoo | what else can I use in lieu of winscp? I've read ubuntu forums, they say secpanel (?) nautilus (doesn't work...) and gftp.. (no worky). Do I need to manually setup the certificates for this to work? | 23:40 |
| mkquist | Rangoon: the linux parts area swap (maybe 1 gig) and give urself a decent amount for the install, like if its 50 gigs, id just use it for linux, partition as ext3 | 23:40 |
| mkquist | Rangoon: since it was an exisiting partition, don't really need to worry about the location... | 23:40 |

| Mimi | ^Tech-Help^, well, we gotta know somehow, can't really help blindly :/ You know how drives are? a,b,c,d .. etc.... 1,2,3,4 etc ? a1 would be the first partition of the first drive, (top internal) b2 is the second partition of the second disk. hope this helps lol | 23:42 |

| crazybagua | Invisionfree: unless you are hard-wired, your wireless will be your bottleneck | 23:58 |
| Shadow420 | MaxeyPad I think any wireless card is ubuntu friendly just to have the drivers for it | 23:58 |
| Mathman | bpat1434: messing with the bios power saver settings has always solved those sort of problems for me. change s3 to s1. something like that. or vice versa | 23:58 |

| Invisionfree | crazybagua: Both me and my server are on wireless | 23:58 |
| crazybagua | Invisionfree: Check out the VLC pages. I don't mean to bail on you, but time for me to give my little one a bath | 23:58 |
