| Prefix | iceolate: np, highlight if it doesn't work. | 00:03 |
| Herazio | no one ? | 00:03 |
| danand | bouma - if you don't like evolution there should be no problem removing it... just sudo apt-get -s remove evolution .... that will simulate the removal ie just tell you what would be removed if you did that for real... check the list :) ... then if you want to go ahead run the command without the "-s". To see all the evolution packages on your system type dpkg -l | grep evolution. You may want to look at removing some of them too | 00:03 |

| randal | tetrisR: how do i get it back if i want it back | 00:27 |
| RyanPrior | randal: Right click it and choose "Delete this Panel" | 00:27 |
| Myrtti | randal: you were already once told to be patient and not to repeat. | 00:28 |
| Flannel | RyanPrior: right click near the top/bottom of the screen and "add panel" | 00:28 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, i can tell compiz is not running right... | 00:28 |
| randal | Myrtti: im not repeating | 00:28 |
| Flannel | randal, that was for you | 00:28 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, no. | 00:28 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, and i can't run dmesg when the kernel freezes. | 00:28 |
| BubbleTea | How Do i update wine ?? | 00:28 |
| BubbleTea | For newest version | 00:29 |
| RyanPrior | Ash908: any pattern to when the freezes happen? | 00:29 |

| ubottu | Factoid remotedesktop not found | 00:29 |
| RyanPrior | BubbleTea: Either compile it from source, or grab the latest debian package from their website. | 00:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | anyone know how I can connect to a Windows machine, without installing VNC servers on Windows? | 00:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | The machine has Remote Desktop incoming connections allowed | 00:29 |
| Flannel | RyanPrior, BubbleTea, don't compile it from source. If you want a newer version, add the winehq repositories | 00:29 |
| RyanPrior | MachinTrucChose: Samba ought to let you connect to Windows shares. | 00:29 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, ...for the kernel freeze, when changing workspaces with compiz on. | 00:30 |
| MachinTrucChose | ryan: not Windows shares, I want to control the desktop | 00:30 |
| MachinTrucChose | I've already got Samba up :) | 00:30 |
| tetrisR | I have a new question how can I perform a terminal command like "shutdown +50" (a timer for pc shutdown that way i dont have to switch my pc off manually at night) but with 1 click, so that my father or someone who has no clue how to use a computer is able to just use the command | 00:30 |
| RyanPrior | Flannel: compiling Wine from source is a perfectly legitimate way to acquire the software. | 00:30 |
| === iRRVi is now known as array[0] | ||
| kitche | MachinTrucChose: use RDP protcol which the gnome desktop sharing program has in it I believe | 00:30 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, otherwise it might just be compiz. but the inital login (first login after boot) seems to hang for awhile before resizing the desktop. | 00:30 |
| RyanPrior | Flannel: Many people prefer not to use the repository because it often slows down apt-get update. | 00:30 |

| barfman_ | in xchat, how do i have it put timestamps in the buffer area for the channel caht? | 00:30 |
| RyanPrior | Ash908: Have you tried disabling compiz? | 00:31 |
| MachinTrucChose | kitche: it only lets me select a port. I tried 3389, still doesn't connect. | 00:31 |

| randal | How can i move the avent window navigator to the top of my screen | 00:31 |
| Emry | I am working on setting up quotas... I have quota installed, and quotas enabled for two file systems. However, the setquota command asks for the quota in terms of blocks and inodes. How do I find out the size of a block or inode? | 00:31 |
| Sunx | which restricted driver to install 386 or x86 which type of computers are x86 | 00:31 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, ...i don't want to disable compiz... | 00:31 |
| MachinTrucChose | barfman: it's in the Settings | 00:31 |
| RyanPrior | randal: I don't think that is an option, as far as I know. | 00:31 |
| randal | is there any program that aloows that | 00:32 |
| barfman_ | MachinTrucChose, only for the logs, not the acutal program itself. | 00:32 |
| Flannel | Sunx: intel compatable, not 64bit though | 00:32 |
| lgc | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11332/ . | 00:32 |
| randal | RyanPrior: is there a dif program thats similar | 00:32 |
| RyanPrior | Ash908: It's still important to know for sure whether Compiz is causing the problem. If disabling Compiz stops the problem, then that gives us valuable information. | 00:32 |
| RyanPrior | randal: There's Cairo-Dock. It's not quite as powerful, but I think it can go on top of the screen. | 00:32 |
| MachinTrucChose | barfman: Settings > Preferences . Bottom option is "enable timestamps". It's how my Xchat looks as we speak. | 00:32 |
| uhriventis | Where can I download older versions of Xserver? | 00:32 |
| randal | RyanPrior: nvm | 00:32 |
| RyanPrior | randal: I bet AWN can go on top too, but I just don't think it's a default option. | 00:32 |
| Emry | Sunx:x86 is pretty much any computer that is based off of initel technology... If there is not an athlon specific driver then in a lot of cases it will work for amd chips also. 386 is probably not what you want. | 00:33 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, well the kernel freeze isn't something that i know how to trigger really... | 00:33 |
| RyanPrior | randal: There's Cairo-Dock. It's not quite as powerful, but I think it can go on top of the screen. | 00:33 |
| RyanPrior | oops | 00:33 |
| barfman_ | MachinTrucChose mine is enabled as well, but i see nothing being timestamped, only my logs. | 00:33 |
| Flannel | lgc: and the output of sudo fdisk -l? | 00:33 |
| MachinTrucChose | weird | 00:33 |
| Ash908 | RyanPrior, i turned off compiz. | 00:33 |
| MachinTrucChose | that's the option, I just tried disabling/enabling it | 00:33 |
| yowsh1 | alsa broke | 00:33 |

| Sunx | emry: i have core 2 duo 4400 so i would use X86 if i use that restricted driver then i dont need the nvidia new driver right? | 00:35 |
| Emry | Sunx: and like Flannel said, not 64 bit... (Of course if you are running the 32 bit version of the OS, then the 32 bit drivers will be needed even on a 64 bit chip) | 00:35 |

| MrSteve | outie -- are you using compiz? | 00:46 |
| RyanPrior | Wubi_Nubi: the slight performance decrease associated with Wubi is because you aren't using a real bare-metal file system - you're using one filesystem inside another, so each filesystem operation takes extra memory and CPU. | 00:46 |
| SeaPhor | MachinTrucChose, yes, -d does delete, sorry | 00:46 |

| lgc | Flannel, no. It doesn't even let me go to the entry menu. It boots directly to Linux. | 00:46 |
| RyanPrior | Wubi_Nubi: For that reason, we suggest that you don't try to do any heavy video editing, etc in Wubi - however, in most cases you probably won't notice the slowdown. | 00:46 |
| Flannel | lgc: Ah! a different issue entirely. Is this that whole file? | 00:46 |
| Wubi_Nubi | RyanPrior, Flannel, [21:09] <xivulon> If you wish, you can think of Wubi as a virtual machine that only | 00:46 |
| Wubi_Nubi | virtualises the hard disk, while keeping everything else native. | 00:46 |
| Flannel | lgc: since, if it is, you're missing a good bit of stuff. | 00:46 |
| Wubi_Nubi | so how slow does it make it? | 00:47 |

| drivetrax | er, /j #channelname | 00:50 |
| MachinTrucChose | gpb: nope, you have to install it from the Add/Remove Programs | 00:50 |
| RyanPrior | gpb: VLC is included, yes. You can install it in Add/Remove Programs. | 00:50 |
| desucca | hello all, I've run in to an issue I can't find seem to put together the right search string to google for, and I appreciate any efforts to help after what is about to be a long-winded question. I have been running xp and ubuntu as dual boot for a while now on one pc without issue. I then lost my other pc due to mobo failure so I took the data hdd from the old pc and put it in to my dual boot machine. now when I boot I get grub erro | 00:51 |
| gpb | ah, wehre to find THAT? | 00:51 |
| MachinTrucChose | gpb: Applications > Add/Remove Programs | 00:51 |
| RyanPrior | desucca: What is the error? | 00:51 |
| iXneonXi | someone help me fix this: http://pastebin.com/d7fecf1e3 | 00:52 |
| desucca | it simply says 'Error 22' on my screen.. a google for that number states "22 : "Must load Multiboot kernel before modules" | 00:52 |
| desucca | This error is returned if the module load command is used before loading a Multiboot kernel. It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has no idea how to communicate the presence of location of such modules to a non-Multiboot-aware kernel. | 00:52 |
| desucca | " | 00:52 |
| gpb | is this in the menu for "ordinary" users? | 00:52 |

| Flannel | lgc: From looking at that file, it looks like there's an extra root line (after the comment of other OSs). Apart from that, what I see without the comments at the top is good. Your issue is you're never seeing the grub menu, you can either hit escape while booting. To see the menu always, comment out the hiddenmenu line near the top of the file, which hides the menu at boot. | 00:53 |
| gpb | i'll have a look | 00:53 |

| Emry | desucca; Which drive does your bios try to boot from first? | 00:55 |
| Flannel | lgc: Which mess? The entries? As long as you didn't mess up the stuff at the top, just sudo update-grub, and it'll all be fine (except your windows entry) | 00:56 |
| desucca | Emry: I have it set to boot from the xp hdd first, the ubuntu one 2nd, and the 'new' one third | 00:56 |
| drivetrax | Outie, --- window settings.. and compix settings can do that | 00:56 |
| drivetrax | compiz | 00:56 |
| Outie | drivetrax: sorry? | 00:56 |
| Outie | it's just the decoration that does stuff like that | 00:56 |
| Outie | and the artifacts change when activating and deactivating the windows again | 00:56 |
| bluefoxx | i need to get my mouse back, anyone know how i can find out what has grabbed control of it and how i can steal it back? | 00:56 |
| lgc | Flannel, I mean the mess I made cutting and pasting the file to the paste window. | 00:56 |
| gpb | in the link it says to install vlc | 00:57 |
| Emry | desucca: Which drive is the boot sector on where you have grub? | 00:57 |
| lgc | Flannel, (vi is kind of rebellious for that). | 00:57 |
| gpb | but there's no vlc package visible in aptitude... | 00:57 |
| Outie | drivetrax: I don't think this is any kind of intended behaviour ;) | 00:57 |
| simNIX | I have setup pxe booted cli install - I wonder if I can automate the installing with some kind of answersfile ? | 00:57 |
| MachinTrucChose | I found two smb.conf files: one in /etc/samba and one in /usr/share/samba ...which one should I be editing? | 00:57 |
| drivetrax | Outie, -- ever install a theme? | 00:58 |
| simNIX | - /etc/samba | 00:58 |
| desucca | Emry: I believe it is on the xp drive (1st in sequence)? though I can't say that with 100% certainty | 00:58 |
| MachinTrucChose | thx | 00:58 |
| simNIX | np | 00:58 |
| Outie | drivetrax: yeah, eg. the one I'm using right now | 00:58 |
| Outie | I've not actually tried switching back to Human, let me try that | 00:58 |
| drivetrax | Outie, go in thee and re-check it is set-up what you want | 00:58 |
| drivetrax | there | 00:58 |
| Outie | drivetrax: it's theme independent - I've used a custom theme pieced together from clearlooks and an icon set, now I'm using blubuntu | 00:59 |
| desucca | Emry: grub at least attempts to load when I have the xp hdd 1st in sequence, just tried with the ubuntu hdd 1st and 'disk boot failure' | 00:59 |
| Outie | both give me the same kind ofa rtifacts | 00:59 |
| Flannel | lgc: ah, don't worry about it. If thats the issue, its no big deal, just comment out hidden menu, and delete that extra root line | 00:59 |
| lgc | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11339/ | 00:59 |
| Outie | and, as I said, the effect on the window decoration changes every time I activate and deactivate a window | 00:59 |
| Outie | and only inactive windows have these artifacts | 00:59 |
| Outie | switching to Human theme didn't help either | 01:00 |
| drivetrax | Outie, right click the desktop .. change background .. then go to tab - visual effects | 01:00 |
| lgc | Flannel, but maybe that 'hiddenmenu' is the clue. | 01:00 |
| gpb | is vlc not anymore in 8.04? | 01:00 |
| Flannel | lgc: thats what is doing it yes. | 01:00 |
| drivetrax | Outie, what is that set to.. there | 01:00 |
| Outie | drivetrax: nothing, since I've customized some plugins with ccsm | 01:00 |
| Emry | desucca: Ok... What you may need to do, is boot in with a rescue disk and edit your grub configuration. Basically, whichever physical disk number you have listed for the two drives, increment them by 1. I have seen systems force ide drives to the beginning of the list, and the way grub does things is a bit odd. | 01:00 |
| Outie | however, I've left my hands off the window decoration settings | 01:00 |
| gpb | ah well, ubuntu seems to have two repos... :( | 01:01 |
| lgc | Flannel, and what is supposed to happen when I do 'update grub'? | 01:01 |
| Emry | desucca: Worst case scenerio, it doesn't work, and you change it back. | 01:01 |
| Flannel | Emry, desucca, you don't need a rescue disk. At the grub menu hit 'e' and you can edit the lines | 01:01 |
| gpb | aptitude repo != synaptic(?) repo | 01:01 |
| Outie | I'm also getting the Pink Shadows Bug (ie. window shadows are discoloured - usually pink or green, sometimes white) as well | 01:01 |
| drivetrax | Outie, -- so you customized your desktop.. and want to clean it up.. go back to the older compiz WM.. and use tha Window Plugin | 01:01 |
| Flannel | gpb: they're one and the same | 01:01 |
| Emry | Flannel: Will the edits become permanent?, or after he gets in, will he need to go in and edit them? :-) | 01:02 |
| allbert | i'm sure whoever is using banshee would love it | 01:02 |
| desucca | Flannel: it doesn't quite get to the menu :) | 01:02 |
| drivetrax | Outie, -- yah, compiz ccsm.. sets all that | 01:02 |
| gpb | then it's strange | 01:02 |
| Flannel | lgc: Same thing that happens everyime you update a kernel, your menu.lst is recreated based on the comments at the top and the kernels that exist, and then the stuff after the end automagic kernels list line | 01:02 |
| Outie | drivetrax: the issue persists if I set the effects to any of the standard presets, aside from "none" | 01:02 |
| Emry | desucca: Try hitting the e when it gets the error. :) | 01:02 |
| gpb | since the Apps->add remove apps finds vlc but aptitude does not | 01:02 |
| gpb | ah, i see | 01:02 |
| desucca | oddly enough, on a whim I set the 'new' hdd to 1st in sequence and xp boots without grub? :) | 01:02 |
| Flannel | Emry: after he logs in, he'll need to make them permanent. But its good for searching for partitions if you have issues | 01:02 |
| Outie | drivetrax: the shadow discolouration is not the colour it's set to, and occasionally changes when compiz restarts | 01:02 |
| gpb | the graphical thingie lists it but says "not for i386" when clicking on it | 01:03 |
| desucca | Emry, Flannel: thanks! I'll try it out | 01:03 |
| Outie | as I said, I am quite sure that this is not any kind of intended behaviour | 01:03 |
| Emry | desucca: That is probably your XP from the machine that died. hehehe | 01:03 |
| MachinTrucChose | O_O Amarok and Rhythmbox....the difference is astounding. It's like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger | 01:03 |
| lgc | Flannel, how can I remove entries for old kernels? | 01:03 |
| Emry | lgc: edit your grub.conf. :) | 01:03 |
| danbhfive | lgc: remove the kernel images | 01:03 |
| drivetrax | Outie - if you use Compiz manager - DCustom - preferences.. a window opens up, right | 01:03 |
| desucca | Emry: ouch.. good point | 01:03 |
| Flannel | Emry, lgc, no editing it wont work (and its menu.lst), remove the old kernel packages | 01:03 |
| Outie | drivetrax: DCustom? | 01:04 |
| drivetrax | custom | 01:04 |
| lgc | Emry, it's not just that, but a more elegant procedure, an instructions that does away with all the old kernel stuff, which I can't remember. | 01:04 |
| Outie | Compiz manager as in ccsm? | 01:04 |
| drivetrax | yes | 01:04 |
| Outie | I am in ccsm as we speak | 01:04 |
| Krimpet | hmm, flashplugin-nonfree seems to crash at randomly for me in hardy so I tried uninstalling it and installing gnash, but gnash has horribly distorted sound... does anyone know what the problem with gnash could be? | 01:04 |
| drivetrax | ok | 01:04 |
| Flannel | lgc: sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-[oldversion]-generic | 01:04 |
| Emry | lgc, Flannel: Understood. | 01:04 |
| BubbleTea | I have a scanner canon and cannot scan with those programs | 01:04 |
| drivetrax | Outie, what did you do to the - color setting | 01:05 |
| lgc | Flannel, 'generic' or whatever, I suppose. | 01:05 |
| Outie | drivetrax: in what, window decoration -> shadows? | 01:05 |
| Outie | it's set to black. | 01:05 |
| Flannel | lgc: what? You're not running the generic kernel? | 01:05 |
| Emry | How do I find the size in kilobyts etc of a block or inode on a file system? | 01:05 |
| drivetrax | Outie, no.. there is a check box that simply says color - one of the first at the top of that page | 01:05 |
| Outie | in ccsm? | 01:06 |
| lgc | Flannel, no, I mean that there are about 4 entries for each kernel version. I suppose one has to do 'apt-get remove --purge' for each entry. Right? | 01:06 |
| desucca | Emry, Flannel: fyi, 'e' from the error doesn't work.. I'll boot with recovery disk and try editing there | 01:06 |

| SeaPhor | MachinTrucChose, found it! nmblookup -A 192.168.1.100 | 01:07 |
| drivetrax | Outie, - Super + F = filter on, Super + D = screen filtering on Super + S = Switch filter, try those | 01:07 |
| Flannel | lgc: there should be two entries for each kernel, a regular one, and a recovery console one. You have to remove each kernel version, yes. Although you don't have to use apt-get, any package manager will do. | 01:07 |
| gpb | i can use my wireless network -- on ym eee running debian ^^ | 01:07 |
| gpb | *ducks* | 01:07 |

| vonkwink | I am trying to set up my linksys wusb300N wireless USB N router. i am trying to use ndiswrapper but i am having trouble finding a 64 bit driver, or somehow getting the 32 bit driver to work. Can anyone help me with this? | 01:07 |
| drivetrax | Outie, ah, enable it | 01:08 |
| BubbleTea | I have a scanner canon and cannot scan with those programs | 01:08 |
| lgc | Flannel, I count 4 entries for the 2.6.24.16 version, not two. | 01:08 |
| gpb | a wireless *router* is standalone, so it needs no driver | 01:08 |
| Outie | drivetrax: doesn't change the glitchy window decoration or the shadow colours | 01:08 |
| mikeg3 | Can I do anything if I have forgotten my ubuntu username/password? | 01:08 |
| gpb | or ami completely wrong here? | 01:09 |
| drivetrax | kk | 01:09 |
| Krimpet | does anyone here use gnash, or know why its sound output would be garbled? | 01:09 |
| gpb | mikeg: yes: crack it ^^ | 01:09 |
| MachinTrucChose | SeaPhor: Thanks! That displays the computer name...but what's weird is that I can't ping it (even though I can ping the IP). | 01:09 |
| Outie | brb, I've just seen that the window decoration plugin was not ENTIRELY at defaults because of the upgrade | 01:09 |
| MachinTrucChose | but I'm saving that one in my notes wiki :P | 01:09 |
| Outie | lemme see if setting all options to defaults in that fixed things | 01:09 |
| Flannel | lgc: Oh! You have both -generic and -386 installed. So you have a -generic and -386, two of each. You should probably remove the -386 assuming -generic isn't giving you errors | 01:09 |
| drivetrax | ahhhh, ok | 01:09 |
| jrib | mikeg3: 1) reboot in recovery mode 2) 'ls /home' should reveal your username 3) 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME' will let you set a new password 4) reboot | 01:09 |
| SeaPhor | MachinTrucChose, thats in name resolution,,, hmmm?? | 01:09 |
| zeno__ | hi im on wireless but i keep getting "network timeout" on webpages, sometimes they load | 01:10 |
| legend2440 | BubbleTea: which model of canon scanner? | 01:10 |
| lgc | Flannel, I wonder how did the generic one got into my system! | 01:10 |
| Outie | nope, that didn't help either | 01:10 |
| Outie | and after an x restart, my shadows are suddenly not white anymore but pink :D | 01:10 |
| MachinTrucChose | SeaPhor: I see the name, I recognize it, but I can't ping it...I think it might be a cache thing because it attempts to connect to an IP that is differenct, possibly one from my old network | 01:10 |
| lgc | Flannel, the standard one in Ubuntu is the non-generic one, I gather. | 01:11 |
| Flannel | lgc: Have you had issues with it? generic is what you should be running by default, 386 is only still around incase generic makes your processor barf | 01:11 |
| gpb | is there a source for VLC in ubuntu? | 01:11 |
| Flannel | lgc: no, the standard is generic | 01:11 |
| MachinTrucChose | actually, yeah, the IP it's trying to ping is from my old network, before I changed routers. Mus have saved that name. | 01:11 |

| drivetrax | Outie, -- window decorations.. there is a place to choose shadow color. mine is none. | 01:11 |
| saminthemiddle | Hey guys: I need big help here. Is there a program that will create a list of all the possible matches for a regex statement? | 01:11 |
| lgc | Flannel, doesn't it 'generic' mean plain-vanilla from kernel.org? | 01:11 |
| Outie | drivetrax: mine is black | 01:11 |
| Outie | the shadows mess up when *rendering* | 01:12 |
| Outie | as do the window decorations | 01:12 |
| Flannel | lgc: no, the generic kernel means its good for all the different arches (k7, 686, 386, etc) | 01:12 |
| Emry | lgc: Generic means the kitchen sink. :P | 01:12 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: Many regexes could have infinite matches, you'd have to support only a subset. | 01:12 |
| BubbleTea | lide | 01:12 |
| lgc | Flannel, at what price? Any tradeoff? | 01:12 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: In any case, it probably wouldn't be too hard to write such a program. | 01:12 |
| Flannel | lgc: and it optimizes based on what you're running, as opposed to having separate -k7, -686, etc | 01:12 |
| saminthemiddle | RyanPrior: yes, but this one doesn't have rinfinate | 01:12 |
| Flannel | lgc: not really, no. | 01:12 |
| Flannel | !generic | lgc | 01:12 |
| ubottu | lgc: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 01:12 |
| drivetrax | Outie, uh.. besides xorg , the video may be affected by the setting of the gamma, or color of the monitor.. say look at those briefly | 01:13 |
| Flannel | lgc: Especially considering that the other ones don't exist anymore ;) | 01:13 |
| lgc | Oh, I see... let me check that. | 01:13 |
| Outie | drivetrax: nope | 01:13 |
| === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal | ||
| allbert | argh! that's cool too, i can play 2 different music streams simultaneaously just like windows | 01:13 |
| Emry | Flannel: They exist, they are juswt no longer in common use. | 01:13 |
| allbert | thanks a lot | 01:13 |
| saminthemiddle | RyanPrior: it's really important as I have forgotten my password and it's a strong password. I know the general form (which is why I can write the regex) but a plain bruteforce wolud take far too long (as in years) | 01:13 |
| allbert | :) | 01:13 |
| Outie | drivetrax: there used to be a bug in the Hardy beta that caused shadows to be discoloured | 01:13 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: Just tokenize the regex, and then do backtracking through all the possible combinations. | 01:13 |
| Flannel | Emry: they don't exist in the ubuntu repositories. Which, for this channel, is existing. | 01:13 |
| Outie | related to the nvidia driver package and the libwfb module being used | 01:13 |
| saminthemiddle | thakns RyanPrior | 01:14 |
| lgc | Flannel, what others? The AMD ones? | 01:14 |
| Emry | Flannel: That is a slightly different statement.heheheheh :P | 01:14 |
| Outie | trying the workarounds suggested by the various google hits makes my x crash on startup though :( | 01:14 |
| drivetrax | Outie, is 'mipmap' set to On | 01:14 |
| MachinTrucChose | thanks for all the help seaphor | 01:14 |
| SeaPhor | MachinTrucChose, np | 01:14 |
| Flannel | Emry: no, we were talking about the kernel flavors for ubuntu, used to hve -686, -k7, etc, now we just have -generic, the others don't exist. | 01:14 |
| Outie | drivetrax: yup | 01:14 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: If you write the program, will you host it somewhere and send me a link? | 01:14 |
| Outie | turning it off made the shadows vanish entirely now | 01:14 |
| Outie | :D | 01:14 |
| Outie | lemme restart x once more | 01:14 |
| Flannel | lgc: 64bit also runs the generic kernel (although its a different generic, they're obviously not identical binaries) | 01:15 |
| saminthemiddle | RyanPrior: sure | 01:15 |
| saminthemiddle | RyanPrior: I'm going to try to find one that already exists though | 01:15 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: Good luck. Google search doesn't turn up much for me. | 01:15 |
| saminthemiddle | RyanPrior: I'm not really in a position to do any development as I'm on a liveCD :-P | 01:15 |
| patrickva | My Ubuntu installation won't recognize my 8800GT and it wont boot into the live cd | 01:15 |

| ricanelite | okay, why when i TRY to install add-ons or extensions onto Firefox 2 in ubuntu linux hardy i'm getting a Firefox could not install the file on every add-on theme or extension i'm getting | 01:16 |

| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: gedit + python FTW? | 01:16 |
| drivetrax | Outie, uncheck mipmap, and save a session.. then see if x-restart tha same | 01:17 |
| Outie | drivetrax: have done :( | 01:17 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: check out http://www.rulesemporium.com/tools.htm | 01:17 |
| RyanPrior | saminthemiddle: the one a few items down, "Regex Expander", seems like it could be promising. | 01:17 |

| lgc | Flannel, I read that, but I wonder if the generic build is able to cope with SMP, for one. | 01:19 |
| Emry | kbrosnan: I think you misdirected that. I haven't been talking about firefox. | 01:19 |

| drivetrax | Outie, ya know, I have had to physically put .so files in the same directory as a program to get the program to use the file, and see it.. perhaps if you copy libwfb.so and put it in Nividia, or xorg.. it might see | 01:30 |
| jack-desktop | gaintsura, i installed virtualbox and my wired internet wouldnt work | 01:30 |
| RyanPrior | gaintsura: I don't have a ath0 or wifi0 and my wifi works fine. | 01:31 |

| gaintsura | jack-desktop: how did you get your wired network connection fixed? | 01:35 |
| lgc | eongerth, did you try 'dhclient eth1'? | 01:36 |

| ttmontoya | what do you need so you can help me | 01:36 |
| lgc | eongerth, If it doesn't work, try sudoing it. | 01:36 |
| gaintsura | I mean, I may be taking a delve into ubuntu... but if it requires that.. I'll just go back to windows | 01:36 |
| eongerth | lgc: thanx. In my case it's not eth1, it's ath0 (atheros-powered card by D-Link) | 01:37 |

| quietFrank | RyanPrior, thats what I used to do on 7.10 but on 8.04 dont have that option | 01:38 |

| Outie | thanks for the help so far, too :) | 01:40 |

| Slyboots | Having a small issue with VLC and natulius, I keep most of my movie files hosted on another machine over SMB, but when I click on a file inside nautlius VLC cant read it (But totem) can | 01:40 |
| Slyboots | I think its because its passing on the files location as smb://xxxxxxx and VLC does not understand that | 01:41 |
| iceolate | anybody know a proxy server address? there are loads out there, i cant use http at the moment to find any myself | 01:41 |
| eongerth | lgc: thanks - it was sending DHCPDISCOVER to 255.255.255.255, so I wonder if it's not aware of my router's IP? | 01:41 |
| Fezzler | What's the command line command to see what is attached to my US port? dsmger? dsmr? | 01:41 |
| RyanPrior | Slyboots: I think that's a known bug. I've heard it before, in any case. | 01:41 |
| pyrak | i'm about to reformat and reinstall ubuntu from scratch | 01:41 |
| pyrak | any advice? | 01:41 |
| Slyboots | Aye but is there any fix? :P | 01:41 |
| Gohalien | hehe no prob | 01:41 |
| RyanPrior | pytrak: Back up your important data. | 01:42 |
| genii | Fezzler: If you just plugged it in, dmesg should say something about it on the last few lines | 01:42 |
| pyrak | RyanPrior, yeah, working on it. should backing up my home include most of my config files? | 01:42 |
| RyanPrior | pytrak: I also suggest using the alternate CD so you can set up encrypted partitions with LVM. | 01:42 |
| lgc | eongerth, I'll keep a vigilant eye if someone offers you a convincing answer that spares us the reading! | 01:42 |
| RyanPrior | pyrak: Only the config files that matter - ones you've messed with a lot and so on. | 01:42 |
| ttmontoya | some times i get sound but the screen stays blank | 01:42 |
| eongerth | ;) | 01:43 |
| RyanPrior | ttmontoya: I saw your response above. | 01:43 |

| RyanPrior | ttmontoya: Is it a video card problem, perhaps? Can you watch normal movies locally? | 01:44 |
| lgc | Gohalien, 'pkill -KILL taskname'. | 01:44 |
| MachinTrucChose | I'm reading up on Unix basics...so non-root users can't see the contents of /sbin? That means they can't run commands like ifconfig, kill, etc? | 01:44 |

| ttmontoya | no | 01:44 |
| Fezzler | genii: I've just plugged a USB-to-Serial cable into my USB port. I'm trying to see what Ubuntu sees it as. USB0 tty1? | 01:44 |
| langley1 | i upgraded wine to version 1...when i click on test sound it locks up after playing sound...anyone know a fix pls? | 01:44 |
| ttmontoya | how do i chck that | 01:44 |
| RyanPrior | Gohalien: try hitting ctrl+alt+F2 and logging in at the TTY, if possible. | 01:45 |
| lgc | eongerth, It won't hurt you, but it's impossible -or at least impractical- if you have to RTFM for every little doubt that comes to mind. | 01:45 |
| iLogik | MachinTrucChose: you should look that up on the 'ls' command section, try ls -la | 01:45 |
| RyanPrior | Gohalien: Otherwise, you might be able to SSH into your box from another machine and kill the needed processes. | 01:45 |

| RyanPrior | !anyone | langley1 | 01:47 |

| RyanPrior | !wine | langley1 | 01:47 |
| ubottu | langley1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 01:47 |
| quietFrnk | RyanPrior, thanks reinstalled the network applet and right click works | 01:47 |
| CShadowRun | how do i edit the applications menu? | 01:47 |
| MachinTrucChose | !AppDB | 01:47 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 01:47 |
| RyanPrior | quietFrank: Oh good. Strange that the applet got screwed up somehow. | 01:47 |
| genii | Fezzler: Offhand I can't remember but i think something like ttyUSB0 or such | 01:47 |
| lgc | RyanPrior, yes and no. That's what forums are for. (I hope I'm not breaching the etiquette for dissenting). | 01:48 |
| MachinTrucChose | what the...judging by that list, people only seem to use Wine for videogames | 01:48 |
| Fezzler | What command can I give in Terminal that will show how Ubuntu "sees" the USB-to-Serial cable plugged into my USB port? | 01:48 |
| RyanPrior | lgc: Not at all! However, if you'd like to discuss it, we should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic - you game? | 01:48 |
| CShadowRun | Anyone? how do i edit the application menu? | 01:48 |

| RyanPrior | pyrak: With unencrypted partitions, anybody who gets access to your box could just swipe your hard drive or boot a LiveCD or whatever and have access to all your data. The Alternate Install CD has a wizard to help you set up encrypted partitions, which will ask you for the encryption key at boot up and won't be accessible unless it's given. | 01:49 |
| Krimpet | one thing I'd like to figure out sometime is if there's a way to install all the corresponding *-doc packages for everything I have installed, it's nice to have em available but most seem to not be installed by default | 01:49 |
| Smegzor | I have a remote XDMC connection to a box on my lan (1 gigabit), but the refresh rate is very poor. I do have sound from the remote machine coming through my speakers which is very nice. I'm using Xnest. Is there any way to get better performance? | 01:49 |
| RyanPrior | lgc: Not gaming. "Are you game?" is a phrase meaning, would you like to do that? | 01:49 |
| pyrak | RyanPrior, so if my os breaks and i have to boot from a live CD, will i still be able to access my data? | 01:50 |
| lgc | RyanPrior, thanks for the English class. Off I go... | 01:50 |
| pyrak | RyanPrior, will i have less available space? will reading/writing be slower? | 01:50 |
| ttmontoya | RyanPrior, TOTEM work with a video i already had on my laptop but how do i use it to watch streaming vids | 01:50 |
| bloodrock | chaky, also you can edit it by system. prefrenences. menu editor | 01:50 |
| legend2440 | randomwalker: usr/share/backgrounds | 01:51 |
| eongerth | llgc: I got a connection! sudo ifup ath0 (or eth1 in your case) | 01:51 |
| RyanPrior | pyrak: You will be able to read your data as long as you know the encryption key. The encryption does not decrease your amount of usable space I don't think, but it does increase the CPU overhead of read/write operations somewhat. | 01:51 |
| randomwalker | legend2440, but what about the ones i manually add? i figure they are copied to ~/.wallpaper or something like that? | 01:51 |
| RyanPrior | pyrak: There are some benchmarks available which show that disk performance is 1-5% worse for encrypted partitions. | 01:51 |
| Ecclesiastes | Since I have upgraded to Hardy, my system won't recognize my main data drive and my performance has taken a huge hit. Is there a way to use Synaptic or Aptget to roll back to Gutsy? | 01:52 |

| BubbleTea | what is the best encypt a pdf file | 01:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | almost unanimously, the problems i'm seeing with hardy are from users who upgraded from gutsy | 01:53 |
| iRRVi | lunchbox: sudo is key | 01:53 |
| RyanPrior | Daisuke_Laptop: upgrades always tend to cause issues. Hardy has actually been remarkably issue-free for many upgraders. | 01:53 |
| BubbleTea | what is the best encypt a pdf file | 01:53 |
| RyanPrior | !repeat | BubbleTea | 01:53 |
| ubottu | BubbleTea: 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 | 01:53 |
| RyanPrior | BubbleTea: if you install the SeaHorse encryption helper, it adds a "Encrypt file..." item to your right-click context menu, which is a very easy way to encrypt files such as PDFs. | 01:54 |
| legend2440 | randomwalker: right click blank space on desktop>change desktop background>background hover over thumbnail of background should tell you where it is stored | 01:54 |
| danbhfive | Daisuke_Laptop: I had several issues that were solved via a clean install | 01:54 |
| thingfish | not issue-free for me - xorg doesn't detect my display hardware properly and I'm limited to 800x600 with the nv driver, and 640x480 with the nvidia driver. | 01:54 |
| lunchbox2 | iRRvi , my experience in linux is extremely limited I need someone to hold my hand or point me in the right direction - sudo leaves me stranded i'm not knowledgeable enough | 01:54 |

| RyanPrior | Daisuke_Laptop: We're much better at upgrades than they are, fortunately. On the whole, many people's upgrades go smoothly. (Mine did.) | 01:55 |
| thingfish | and it's real nice now that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg entirely bypasses display configuration | 01:55 |
| BubbleTea | RyanPrior what is this SeaHorse do i have to dl | 01:55 |
| iRRVi | lunchbox: i would help but i get frustrated with new users too easily and would get mad and tell you to do something stupid | 01:55 |
| shree_ | it says insecure $env{path} in apaches' error log while trying to execute the .pl files | 01:55 |
| lunchbox2 | :( | 01:56 |
| RyanPrior | jason: All over the place. Use Synaptic (or dpkg) to find out where the files were individually installed. | 01:56 |
| iRRVi | lunchbox2: sorry...but its for your own good | 01:56 |
| RyanPrior | BubbleTea: You can install it via Add / Remove programs. | 01:56 |
| jason | ok thanks RyanPrior | 01:56 |
| iRRVi | ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs | 01:56 |
| Ecclesiastes | If I use a knoppix LiveCD, what parts of Hardy do I have to destroy so that a Gutsy installer will do a repair? | 01:57 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | RyanPrior: "better than xp to vista" isn't saying much, i would have said *much* better :) but it just seems there's a larger minority with upgrade related problems this time around. then again, that could also be due to the fact that there's a larger overall installed base than the release before, or the release before that, or... you see where i'm going. | 01:57 |
| kindofabuzz | jason: you can use the whereis command also | 01:57 |
| catron | I cannot have a call and music playing at the same time (Skype + RhythmBox) | 01:57 |
| RyanPrior | iRRVi: That sounds bad! Flashing LEDs often indicate a Linux kernel panic. | 01:57 |
| paulcross | iS anyebody here know how to use OPENBOX. | 01:57 |
| catron | Anyone know a fix? | 01:57 |
| shree_ | Hi all, has anyone installed webmin with apache | 01:57 |
| lunchbox2 | Anyone else want to take a stab at helping me out? | 01:57 |
| jason | hmm... ok | 01:57 |
| osxdude|overhere | Anyone know a C compiler that can create executables? gcc isn't cutting it. | 01:57 |
| iRRVi | RyanPrior: it didnt do this until recently | 01:57 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | RyanPrior: nevermind, you did say much better :P | 01:57 |
| BubbleTea | RyanPrior i don't see it | 01:57 |
| jrib | osxdude|overhere: what are you compiling? | 01:58 |
| RyanPrior | Daisuke_Laptop: One of the common causes of complaints has been sound, which has had a major overhaul in the latest upgrade. | 01:58 |
| iRRVi | RyanPrior: possibly the installation of bitpim...but i dont have it running or anything | 01:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | osxdude|overhere: it would help if you had gcc. install the build-essential package, and as always, check the !repos for prebuilt packages | 01:58 |
| jason | btw RyanPrior i was looking for open arena | 01:58 |
| catron | osxdude|overhere: mingw | 01:58 |
| osxdude|overhere | okokok | 01:58 |

| eboyjr | Hey, guys... Is it possible to run two window systems at the same time? Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F6 | 01:58 |
| billisnice | i downloaded google earth update in a .bin file. How do i install it? | 01:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | RyanPrior: sound is a big one i've seen, and nvidia issues skyrocketed with hardy | 01:58 |
| RyanPrior | jason: You're looking for the launcher, or the installation files? | 01:58 |
| usser | osxdude|overhere, ehm, what? | 01:58 |
| kindofabuzz | osxdude|overhere: if you create code in linux i don't think you can make an exe, because you don't have any of the windows stuff at all, and exe is windows, not sure though | 01:58 |
| drivetrax | bash: cd: /opt/lost+found: Permission denied | 01:59 |
| drivetrax | ( | 01:59 |
| osxdude|overhere | jrib: It's the UnrealIRCd | Daisuke_Laptop: it says gcc will not create executables | 01:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | osxdude|overhere: install build-essential | 01:59 |
| jason | installation files im trying to add a pro mod somting or another | 01:59 |
| usser | osxdude|overhere, you need to install build-essential | 01:59 |
| jason | RyanPrior, | 01:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you need that to compile *anything* | 01:59 |
| osxdude|overhere | OH | 01:59 |
| osxdude|overhere | it's plural! | 01:59 |
| osxdude|overhere | ok. | 01:59 |
| RyanPrior | Daisuke_Laptop: Yeah, and would ya believe it, both have to do with non-free components: Adobe Flash for sound, and nVidia drivers for graphics. | 01:59 |
| === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude | ||
| osxdude | lol | 01:59 |
| genii | shree_: Since webmin was removed from ubuntu, you're not likely to get much support for it here | 01:59 |
| osxdude | i didin't know it was plural. | 01:59 |
| eboyjr | Hey, guys... Is it possible to run two window systems at the same time? Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F6 | 02:00 |
| jrib | osxdude: it's not plural :/ | 02:00 |
| RyanPrior | Why do we have osxdude and osxdude|overhere? Confused. | 02:00 |
| iRRVi | RyanPrior: any possiblity i need to install some things for bluetooth stuff? | 02:00 |
| osxdude | oh | 02:00 |
| osxdude | wait | 02:00 |
| who_ | can someone instruct me on how to manually configure my sound card??? | 02:00 |
| LiGhTMaGiCk | I got sound problems on hardy anyone know any easy fixes | 02:00 |
| shree_ | genii: i didnt know that. anyone now i am pinging on #perl | 02:00 |
| osxdude | gah, i'm a dumbass | 02:00 |
| drivetrax | what is in the lost+found directory ? | 02:00 |
| ectospasm | eboyjr: yes | 02:00 |
| Y-Town | eboyjr: virtualbox or vmware | 02:00 |
| osxdude | I meant it's NOT plural :P | 02:00 |

| Ecclesiastes | osxdude: have you installed Leo4All? | 02:00 |
| drivetrax | I cannot access it | 02:00 |
| shree_ | genii: a sleepy looking community | 02:00 |
| osxdude | hm, Ecclesiastes ? | 02:00 |
| RyanPrior | iRRVi: I don't know much about that problem. I've never used Bluetooth, and I'm bad at diagnosing kernel panics, so I'm the wrong person to talk to all around. :-( | 02:00 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | RyanPrior: most definitely, and while i would love to see everyone use completely free software, that's just not feasible with nvidia having majority marketshare | 02:00 |
| iRRVi | RyanPrior: okie | 02:01 |
| astro76 | eboyjr: there's a program in System Tools > New Login that does this easily, you might have to edit your menu to enable it | 02:01 |
| who_ | can someone instruct me on how to manually configure my sound card??? | 02:01 |
| jason | RyanPrior, i was looking for the install files im installeing a pro mod thingi but i found ware it is its in user/share/games | 02:01 |

| astro76 | eboyjr: why did you do that? | 02:04 |

| who_ | when i try to open the mixer it says No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. | 02:07 |
| Y-Town | LiGhTMaGiCk: no sound at all or in rythmbox or amarok? | 02:07 |

| drowner_ | can i repeat my question? | 02:37 |
| drowner_ | Does anyone know of a word processor that is good for typing mathematics/stats assignments? Like, that can easily do fractions, greek symbols etc without hunting for the symbols in a normal word processor? If that makes sense? | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | fabian32: que pasa? | 02:37 |
| chris_ | I upgraded to ubuntu 8.04, everything has been working fine until 2 days ago, i noticed my audio is always on mute, and when i try to unmute it, it compains that GStreamer plugin was not found. Other than that, my usual user does not have sudo privilages anymore, i suspect Virtual Box, since i had to add this user to vboxuser to user vbox. Also when i restart my XServer (wether logging out... | 02:37 |
| chris_ | ...or ctrl + alt + backspace) i try to relogin, and it hangs at a blank screen with a white box at the top left of the screen about 200x200px, i have to do a complete reboot in order to log in again. | 02:37 |

| r00723r0 | Xecuter88, and Amarok is for GTK+/GNOME? | 02:39 |
| oddalot | k | 02:39 |
| Xecuter88 | r00723r0, no kde, but its still usable under gnome... and its the best musicplayer ever :P | 02:40 |
| evilbug | r00723r0- no,it's for kde. | 02:40 |
| r00723r0 | ... | 02:40 |
| r00723r0 | Xecuter88, no, I refuse. | 02:40 |
| Xecuter88 | r00723r0, why? | 02:40 |
| thompa | im going to have to use kmail i guess | 02:40 |
| evilbug | r00723r0- you have plenty of other choices. | 02:40 |
| r00723r0 | That's such a dumb question that I might have to explode. | 02:40 |
| r00723r0 | I just asked for GTK+/GNOME specifically. | 02:40 |
| Xecuter88 | r00723r0, and why is that? | 02:40 |
| evilbug | r00723r0- i personally like vlc. | 02:40 |
| Ahadiel | r00723r0, Rhythmbox | 02:40 |
| r00723r0 | Do these all accept lastfm:// streams? | 02:41 |
| evilbug | r00723r0- Ahadiel is also correct.rythmbox looks/feels more like a music player. | 02:41 |
| mindheavy | how would i get rid of fwcutter in order to use ndiswrapper? | 02:41 |
| Xecuter88 | thompa, yes vlc plays... | 02:41 |
| thompa | evilbug: well vlc works, | 02:41 |
| thompa | ugly though | 02:41 |
| evilbug | thompa- :) i know.it's not that ugly.just simple. | 02:41 |
| fabian32 | vlc is better than superman | 02:41 |
| evilbug | thompa- want to help me with emerald? | 02:42 |
| r00723r0 | So do these all accept lastfm:// streams? | 02:42 |
| evilbug | r00723r0- they should. | 02:42 |
| m1r | fabian32: where should i found catalyst icon ? | 02:42 |
| r00723r0 | I have a last.fm plugin for Exaile and it doesn't seem to accept lastfm:// streams. | 02:42 |
| matthew | oddalot: ok my resolution stayed but my logon screen is still missing the bottom, its off | 02:42 |
| evilbug | r00723r0- i know vlc accepts almost anything.you might have to put in the link(s) yourself though. | 02:42 |

| fiyawerx | r00723r0, might want to try #exaile for that | 02:43 |
| fabian32 | in applications | 02:43 |
| thompa | evilbug: the player mandriva uses is best my opinion, and installs in ubuntu | 02:43 |
| r00723r0 | fiyawerx, alright. | 02:43 |
| r00723r0 | Thanks all. | 02:43 |
| legend2440 | drowner_: in synaptic there is a openoffice addon called openoffice.org-math. never tried it myself but i think it makes it easier to insert equations and math symbols in documents | 02:43 |
| thompa | evilbug: sory have not tried emerald yet | 02:44 |
| evilbug | thompa- i'm a itunes and winamp fan myself. | 02:44 |

| drowner_ | cheers legend | 02:44 |
| fiyawerx | evilbug, do you get any errors when you start it from a console | 02:45 |
| matthew | does anyone know why my screen resolution is fine now but my main logon screen where I could pick KDE or Gnome etc is off, how can I adjust it, I'm missing the bottom..? | 02:45 |
| jrib | drowner_: if you are serious about typesetting math, you should take some time to learn LaTeX | 02:45 |
| oddalot | matthew i don't know, who cares anyway, as long as you can login it doesn't matter, i would say just move on to better things.. | 02:45 |
| b1z4rr0 | i don't know if copy the bin file, or the toc file... i'm workingo on in my laptop & only have one cdRw | 02:45 |
| evilbug | fiyawerx- haven't tried.i open up the config and that works fine,the windows won't show up like it though. | 02:45 |
| matthew | oddalot: what if I use example. KDE or something, I can't get my mouse down to select it lol | 02:45 |
| evilbug | fiyawerx- it worked well with gutsy though. | 02:45 |

I just tried to follow the instructions for downloading libdvdcss2 prior to posting in chat, and despite what appeared to be error free command execution, I do not seem to have successfully aquired libdvdcss2. Any further suggestions? | 02:46 |
| oddalot | matthew try making sure the settings are saved in nvidia-settings, and you save them to your xorg.conf | 02:46 |

| anteaya | thompa: thank you i will attempt that | 02:47 |

| thompa | anteaya: there is link to adding media ubuntu repos | 02:47 |
| evilbug | fiyawerx- no clue? | 02:47 |
| oddalot | matthew, no make sure it's saved to the xorg.conf | 02:47 |
| mrix_ | malsyned: i do, but it's tricky as flash wants to obtain exclusive sound access therefore i have to exit any running sound players :( | 02:48 |
| matthew | oddalot: Im still a n00b can u explain to me how to do that :-S sorry | 02:48 |
| malsyned | mrix_: on mine, the video stops after two seconds until I manually seek the stream. | 02:48 |
| Goldfisch | anteaya: I haven't had to deal with it for a while. Just a sec... | 02:48 |

| fabian32 | m1r: nah set it your siaplay manager | 02:49 |
| fabian32 | like in catalyst control centre or nvidia-settings | 02:49 |
| rainwalker | when I try to shut down or restart via System > Quit, the process hangs on killing either X or Nautilus because my wallpaper is still displayed (everything else is gone) until I Control+Alt+Backspace to kill X. Any ideas as to what's wrong? | 02:49 |
| fabian32 | its a driver setting | 02:49 |
| mrix_ | malsyned: not sure, how do i check that? | 02:49 |

| fabian32 | then reboot | 02:50 |
| Zaiden | How do you change the directory the terminal is focusing on? | 02:51 |
| fabian32 | then run your demanding 3d game in fullscreen | 02:51 |

| matthew | oddalot: make sure my resolution is saved in there? I have NVIDIA X Server Settings window open and its set to 1280 x 1024 like I need, is that okay? | 02:51 |
| malsyned | although it's possible that that's what's causing my troubles :/ | 02:51 |
| anteaya | Goldfisch, and thompa: just so we are talking about the same thing, i already have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and I can not locate or find libdvdcss2 | 02:51 |

| malsyned | When I full-screen flash video (FF3, 8.04, flash-nonfree) it always fullscreens to my first display instead of the display the FF window is on. anybody know how to fix that? | 03:08 |
| makario | Does anyone use Elisa? I can't get DVD playback to work. | 03:08 |
| Itaku | with wubi how do you know that its done? because it downloaded i got a cookie and i came back and it was just closed. | 03:08 |
| malsyned | FelipeS: best place to start looking would probably be in the compizconfig-settings-manager package, which creates an "Advanced Desktop Effects" option under System->Preferences | 03:09 |
| Itaku | err and i ate the cookie for 2hrs | 03:09 |
| workmaster2n | hey - does anybody know how to activate compiz in hardy? | 03:09 |
| makario | workmaster2n: System > Preferences > Appearance; Visual Effects tab | 03:10 |
| FelipeS | malsyned: I did. I think I've been through every option, however I cannot find somewhere to toggle that on or off | 03:10 |
| workmaster2n | makario: I'm there | 03:10 |
| will00 | how do i get emerald to work with compiz and gnome? | 03:10 |

| LabThug | a^n + b^n = c^ for n < 3? | 03:12 |
| workmaster2n | makario - I used compiz in ubuntu 7.10 and there was a place where I could turn features on and off (like the cube and wobbly windows) - how do i access those features? | 03:12 |
| barfman_ | LabThug, yes, N is exponent? | 03:12 |
| LabThug | aye | 03:12 |
| consumismo_owns | hello? | 03:12 |
| cellwind929 | Can anyone help me as to why samba isn't installing? Heres the terminal output http://linux.pastebin.com/d3873e133 | 03:13 |
| barfman_ | exponential correct? | 03:13 |
| makario | workmaster2n: Install compizconfig-settings-manager through Synaptic for more options. | 03:13 |
| malsyned | FelipeS: I just ran 'gtk-window-decorator --opacity 1 --replace' and it got rid of what you're complaining about. I dunno how to make that permanent, though. | 03:13 |
| arbir | how can i add a quit command to my menu ? | 03:13 |
| LabThug | barfman_, yes but it only works when n < 3 | 03:13 |
| workmaster2n | makario: i can't find that in the package manager | 03:13 |
| barfman_ | that's fine.' | 03:13 |
| makario | workmaster2n Perhaps I said the wrong name, then. Hold on. | 03:13 |
| barfman_ | LabThug, tryign to write a python script to work the math and proove it. | 03:14 |
| Sergeant_Pony | flannel you here? | 03:14 |
| FelipeS | malsyned: maybe through some script to load every time at boot. However, I hate those types of hacks. | 03:14 |
| zcat[1] | weird; I just installed 'mondo' -- a filesystem recovery tool, and amongst the suggested packages is 'petris' -- I think they're hinting that filesystem recovery takes a long time :) | 03:14 |
| malsyned | FelipeS: me too | 03:14 |
| arbir | fde: hi are you here today ? | 03:14 |
| makario | workmaster2n: compizconfig-settings-manager is the right name. | 03:14 |
| LabThug | barfman_, good luck. Lots of others have done the same. I believe it has to do with two cubes (or higher) exceeding the rate of another cube, but that's just me | 03:14 |
| barfman_ | LabThug, cube? | 03:14 |
| LabThug | s/have done/have tried to do/ | 03:14 |
| makario | workmaster2n Just search for 'compiz settings' in Synaptic. | 03:14 |
| LabThug | barfman_, cube == x^3 | 03:15 |

| witten | I've got a raid 1 array that shows as 100% full with df, even though it isn't. df -i does not show as full. any ideas? | 03:15 |
| workmaster2n | do I need to enable something in the synaptic package manager - when I search for compizconfig-settings-manager it does not come up | 03:15 |
| barfman_ | part of learning python, but, i'm failing miserably | 03:15 |
| workmaster2n | makario: I searched for compiz settings in synaptic, there is no configuration manager listed for me | 03:16 |
| FelipeS | malsyned: thanks anyway | 03:16 |
| makario | workmaster2n: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 03:16 |
| SeaPhor | barfman_, i've failed before i even started,,, i so lost | 03:16 |
| workmaster2n | makario: 8.04 Hardy Heron | 03:17 |
| barfman_ | i want to learn programming, but, i don't think it's for me. either that or i'm trying to learn too much too fast | 03:17 |
| STSX | When I type in a command who's program is not all ready installed, Ubuntu is smart enough to sometimes tell me which package to download--how does it do this? Is it using auto-apt? | 03:17 |
| Mr_Sonoma | I have a xp box set up to be the home for my printer, my wife's vista machine found the printer without issue but on Hardy when i go to System Settings > Printers > Add > Add Printer > SMB Shared Printer then hit the "scan" button to scan the network I only see the Hardy machine. But if i go to Remote Places from the "System Menu" I can see all 3 machines (the xp box, vista box and this box) what am i doing wrong? tips on setting up a wind | 03:17 |
| Mr_Sonoma | ows hosted printer using the graphical tool? | 03:17 |
| makario | workmaster2n: Is it a fresh install? Have you hit the Reload button in Synaptic yet? | 03:17 |
| malsyned | aw. FelipeS quit and I just found an answer for him. | 03:17 |
| Fritzel | what is ~/.gvfs? | 03:17 |
| mono_james | workmaster2n it's this package; compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:18 |
| workmaster2n | makario: I found my error - I had to hit reload in synaptic | 03:18 |
| workmaster2n | makario: you were exactly right - thank you very much | 03:18 |
| makario | workmaster2n: Install that package, and you'll be able to tweak your settings. (The "Extra" setting in the Visual Effects tab will give you wobbly windows, by the way.) | 03:18 |
| greensky | does anyone have an issue where displayconfig-gtk doesnt save so your stuck with 800x600 resolution? any ideas how to fix that? | 03:19 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: it lets you browse Gnome GVFS mounts from legacy programs like command line apps. | 03:19 |

| craigbass1976 | Anyone familiar with either the unexpand command or another way to convert multiple spaces in a text file to tabs? | 03:19 |
| LabThug | Mr_Sonoma, is your hardy box on the same SAMBA workgroup as the windows ones? | 03:19 |
| Mr_Sonoma | yes | 03:19 |
| workmaster2n | makario: Thank you! | 03:20 |
| LabThug | Mr_Sonoma, can you specify IP instead of name and get it to work that way? | 03:20 |
| Fritzel | malsyned, when doing an lsof is this normal for everyone? lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/mhollisjr/.gvfs | 03:20 |
| Mr_Sonoma | LabThug, i haven't tried that | 03:20 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: dunno | 03:21 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: doesn't seem to happen to me | 03:22 |
| LiGhTMaGiCk | ubuntu recognizes my sound card but i have no sound "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" | 03:22 |
| craigbass1976 | Is the volume up? | 03:22 |
| Fritzel | malsyned, do you happen to have any clue what it means? I'm not sure where to begin trying to figure out what the problem is | 03:22 |
| LiGhTMaGiCk | yeah not muted volume max | 03:22 |
| STSX | Mr_Sonoma: Are you by chance from Sonoma County, CA? Just curious. | 03:23 |
| craigbass1976 | LiGhTMaGiCk, because there are a couple of sliders that will screw you up | 03:23 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: not really. but if I had to guess, I'd start by seeing if there was anything weird in that directory, like maybe one of your GVFS network mounts was having connection problems or something. | 03:23 |
| Mr_Sonoma | STSX, no I am not | 03:23 |
| craigbass1976 | LiGhTMaGiCk, PCM is the one that I forget to turn up sometimes | 03:23 |
| STSX | Mr_Sonoma: OK, just wondering. :) | 03:24 |
| pott1 | will wubi break my windows install? | 03:24 |
| pott1 | or can it | 03:24 |
| LiGhTMaGiCk | yeah checked pcm already | 03:24 |
| Fritzel | malsyned, hang on I think I know what might be doing it, ipod | 03:24 |
| Mr_Sonoma | alright short of hooking the monitor to the xp box how can i find its ip address? | 03:24 |
| craigbass1976 | LiGhTMaGiCk, No idea then | 03:24 |
| JDSBlueDevl | please, I need help. I can't get a scrollbar visible in some GNOME apps, yet my profile has them set to visible. I've been asking this question for a while, I've been posting this question on the forums for a while, and still no answer, not even an acknowledgment. PLEASE HELP!!!! | 03:25 |
| wastrel | Mr_Sonoma: nmap your network | 03:25 |
| craigbass1976 | Mr_Sonoma, you could do a packet capture. Windows networks are very chatty (what with their elections and all) and you'll find it eventually\ | 03:25 |

| Smegzo1 | I have a remote XDMC session working at full speed and desktop sounds work, but I get no sound when I play games. I have installed the Pulse Audio applet, and tinkered with that. Is it possible to get sound from games etc over XDMC? | 03:25 |
| usser | McRib, why would u want to go an older version of java? | 03:26 |
| McRib | usser: Frostwire apparently requires it. | 03:26 |
| danbhfive | who was the person who needed medibuntu help? | 03:26 |
| wastrel | McRib: you can install multiple versions of java side by side | 03:26 |
| McRib | usser: I've been able to install Frostware on Gutsy and below by installing sun-java6-jre, but now Frostwire is complaining about not being able to find Java. | 03:26 |
| usser | McRib, or better | 03:27 |
| wastrel | McRib: then choose the one you want with sudo update-alternatives --config java | 03:27 |
| usser | McRib, ^ | 03:27 |
| LabThug | Mr_Sonoma, if you have one of those Linksys routers, they usually print out a list of machines and IPs on their status page | 03:27 |
| Fritzel | regarding .gvfs how's this for wierd http://pastebin.com/d5ef3f8c1 | 03:27 |
| McRib | wastrel: Wow..that did it. I've never heard of update-alternatives. Thank you :) | 03:28 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: looks like the process that was providing the data to the mount point has died. | 03:28 |

| Fritzel | malsyned, being that I have no idea why it's even there, a reboot could clear it up? | 03:29 |
| STSX | bullgard1: Thanks for the clarification--but does it find programs within packages? That's what CASmith claims apt-file does. | 03:29 |
| LabThug | Mr_Sonoma, never used that type. Does it have a web interface? | 03:29 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: likely just a log out/log in would do it. | 03:29 |
| LabThug | Mr_Sonoma, you could also try to list the name instead of the IP | 03:29 |
| Mr_Sonoma | yes it does but not as detailed as a linksys/cisco | 03:29 |
| Fritzel | malsyned, I've done that several times now | 03:29 |

| malsyned | Fritzel: That's weird. A reboot may do it. I thought that that mount point was created every time you logged in. | 03:31 |
| Locke_Watts | Why is it that even though 8.04 ships with nVidia networking drivers my nForce adapter cannot connect to the internet? | 03:31 |

| Fritzel | er wait could virtualbox cause that sort of connection? | 03:32 |
| Fritzel | malsyned, ^^ | 03:32 |
| malsyned | Fritzel: not positive how to shut it down, but hopefully the Gnome guys have some docs on GVFS on their site. | 03:32 |
| Fritzel | malsyned, -nod- | 03:33 |

| heirrook | have ntfs-3g installed first though, linux kernel support is poor for writing to ntfs | 03:55 |
| thinman1189 | SeaPhor: i'm not sure how to | 03:55 |
| heirrook | mike | 03:55 |
| banana21 | I just installed hardy on a computer running an ATI X850XT and the GPU fan constantly revs up and down. The card seems to get really hot for just sitting at the desktop too. Is there a way of fixing this? I am using the drivers from the restricted driver manager. | 03:55 |
| mike | yea | 03:55 |
| mike | ? | 03:55 |
| mike | k its /dev/sdc1 | 03:55 |

| LiGhTMaGiCk | please help I have no sound on my gateway laptop its not muted or turned down and my card is recognized "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" | 03:56 |
| Hagane | how do I extract certain file (one) from archive ? | 03:56 |
| heirrook | mike: do you have ntfs-3g install "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" | 03:56 |
| mgolisch | Hagane: using what archiver? | 03:56 |
| mike | yes | 03:57 |
| ripps | banana21: Are you using Compiz? | 03:57 |
| mike | but i have no folder labeled /etc/fstab | 03:57 |
| Hagane | mgolisch, tar.gz | 03:57 |
| banana21 | I did enable it, but it started before I even enabled it | 03:57 |
| mgolisch | banana21: have alook at top, it will tell you whats hogging your cpu | 03:57 |
| heirrook | mike: are you in terminal? | 03:57 |
| mike | rgr | 03:57 |
| Hagane | mgolisch, any archiver that handles tar.gz :] | 03:57 |
| ashbringer | Would anyone be able to tell me if moving my /boot partition above where my windows partition is would "corrupt" or otherwise damage my ability to boot into windows? | 03:58 |
| mgolisch | Hagane: using the default gnome gui file-roller should do it | 03:58 |
| SeaPhor | thinman1189, you downloaded the image from ubuntu, right? | 03:58 |
| mgolisch | Hagane: you can extrat single files | 03:58 |
| mrynit | linDVD is the only aplication that can play sound for sound files and video files. How can i get my other programs to play back sound? | 03:58 |
| Felip1 | i dont have an acc at imageshack...or at anything like it.. | 03:58 |
| thinman1189 | seaphor: through ubuntu's torrent page | 03:58 |
| Felip1 | can i send it to your e-mail? | 03:58 |
| mgolisch | Myrtti: Felip1 rapidshare? | 03:58 |
| mgolisch | ups | 03:58 |
| SeaPhor | thinman1189, and you burned at slowest speed? | 03:58 |
| kgx | is there any particular reason the hardy dvd goes into busybox on startup? only happens on my desktop, works fine on the laptop | 03:59 |
| mike | heirrook, i just attempted installing ntfs-3g and i already have the latest version | 03:59 |
| kgx | !busybox | 03:59 |
| ubottu | Factoid busybox not found | 03:59 |
| ripps | ashbringer: You shouldn't be moving your partitions around | 03:59 |
| Hagane | mgolisch, oh no.. I meant any but using terminal :] | 03:59 |
| Felip1 | if it needs an acc, i dont have it. does it? | 03:59 |
| thinman1189 | SeaPhor: i haven't burned a new one yet, i'm about to. | 03:59 |
| mike | and yes im in terminal | 03:59 |
| mgolisch | mrynit: find out what it does different, mostlikely it uses a different output plugin | 03:59 |
| SeaPhor | thinman1189, ok, try with that one, and we'll see | 03:59 |
| heirrook | mike: so you don't have an fstab folder? | 03:59 |
| seri | server irc.irchighway.net | 03:59 |
| ashbringer | ripps: I need to, grub is giving me error 18, so my /boot needs to be within a certain part of the drive. If I move it up past the windows partition, will that kill windows? | 04:00 |
| heirrook | file I mean | 04:00 |
| mrynit | mgolisch: how? | 04:00 |
| CaptainPlanet | How do I share a folder as admin? | 04:00 |
| CaptainPlanet | s/admin/root | 04:00 |

| heirrook | type "locate fstab" | 04:00 |
| Felip1 | http://rapidshare.com/files/114044690/Captura_da_tela.png.html | 04:00 |
| wastrel | CaptainPlanet: never use root | 04:00 |
| DrivenMad | Ok i have tryed the vga-711 and no acpi options.. but still no go | 04:01 |
| Felip1 | there. i think... | 04:01 |
| mgolisch | Hagane: read the manpage | 04:01 |
| CaptainPlanet | How the hell do I share this folder then, wastrel? | 04:01 |
| mrynit | Felip1: imageshack.us | 04:01 |
| mike | heirrook: i am a moron, i was looking for a folder, and its a file...duh | 04:01 |
| mgolisch | Myrtti: by looking at its settings? | 04:01 |
| mike | i have it | 04:01 |
| Lokii- | hrm | 04:01 |
| ripps | ashbringer: I woudn't know, but it would probably change your partition names. Instead of Windows being sda1, it'll be sda2. Best to ask someone else about it though | 04:01 |
| Lokii- | so whats new in 8.04 thats not in 7.10 ? | 04:01 |
| Lokii- | i just did my dist upgrade | 04:01 |
| mrynit | mgolisch: name is mrynit | 04:01 |
| Hagane | mgolisch, ... why did you ask "using what manager" ? :/ | 04:01 |
| SeaPhor | DrivenMad, have you deleted "quiet" and "splash"? | 04:01 |
| ashbringer | Well, would anyone know if moving another parition above my windows parition would damage the windows bootloader? | 04:02 |
| Felip1 | http://rapidshare.com/files/114044690/Captura_da_tela.png.html its here | 04:02 |
| heirrook | mike: then edit as root the file and when you have it open let me know | 04:02 |
| wastrel | CaptainPlanet: right click the folder > sharing options | 04:02 |
| heirrook | mike: you said /dev/sdc1 right? | 04:02 |
| CaptainPlanet | It says "Could not change permissions", wastrel | 04:02 |
| Onyx | How can I set smplayer to use esd audio? | 04:03 |
| SeaPhor | DrivenMad, and it should be " vga=771" not 711 | 04:03 |
| mike | right | 04:03 |
| usser | Lokii-, its mostly just updated packages and wubi | 04:03 |
| wastrel | CaptainPlanet: this is not a folder in your home directory? | 04:03 |
| heirrook | mike: then put this at the bottom: /dev/sda1 /media/external ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 04:03 |
| heirrook | all in one line of course | 04:03 |
| judgepg | folks, any ideas on how I can start apache at boot? | 04:03 |
| Felip1 | u got it? | 04:03 |
| CaptainPlanet | wastrel : No I want to share /opt/lampp/htdocs | 04:03 |
| Zigara | anyone here with a dell xps m1530? | 04:03 |

| mgolisch | Felip1: and you dont get any sound? | 04:04 |
| Felip1 | o.o' | 04:04 |
| heirrook | mike: if you are not familiar with that line of stuff, then it will mount the external to /media/external | 04:04 |
| Felip1 | well, i just tried at the starcraft 2 website.. | 04:04 |
| frank_b | does anyone else has/had the problem of not being able to see the trash icon on the bottom panel bar? | 04:04 |

| mgolisch | starcraft website? | 04:04 |
| wastrel | CaptainPlanet: do you have permission to view those files? | 04:04 |
| heirrook | mike: so you can change mount location or make sure to mkdir /media/external | 04:04 |
| Felip1 | is there some audio sample in my linux? | 04:05 |
| CaptainPlanet | wastrel : Yes? I also have root access | 04:05 |
| mike | heirrock: so actually how am i supposed to set my permissions to root when im in a file | 04:05 |
| wastrel | never use root | 04:05 |
| mgolisch | Felip1: yeah in /usr/share/sounds/ | 04:05 |
| CaptainPlanet | You've said that | 04:05 |
| mgolisch | use aplay to play one of them | 04:05 |
| CaptainPlanet | But you're yet to help or convince me | 04:05 |
| mgolisch | then use paplay and try that too | 04:05 |
| wastrel | well i don't use shared folders. | 04:05 |
| heirrook | mike: not permissions, type "sudo nano /etc/fstab" | 04:05 |
| mike | oh | 04:06 |
| mike | \ok | 04:06 |
| Felip1 | hum...the music sample worked..... | 04:06 |
| mgolisch | so you have sound | 04:06 |
| CaptainPlanet | In others words you can't help me, wastrel? | 04:06 |
| Felip1 | i wonder if i was doing something wrong...geez | 04:06 |
| Felip1 | i will try the website again | 04:06 |
| mgolisch | did you upgrade? | 04:06 |
| mgolisch | did you install the flashplayer manualy? in your homedir? | 04:07 |
| mgolisch | i think flash uses oss by default | 04:07 |
| Felip1 | =) its working!! | 04:07 |
| mgolisch | lol | 04:07 |
| mgolisch | :) | 04:07 |
| wastrel | CaptainPlanet: what are the ownership & permissions on the htdocs folder? | 04:07 |
| PhilH | any ideas why partitions on an external usb drive would be inaccessible to non-root users when automounted? | 04:07 |
| Felip1 | thx so much! im amazed....in my windows i had to search for the driver and shit, and in linux...it was here already | 04:08 |
| mike | heirrook: so if i am in terminal viewing this file, how do i write to it | 04:08 |
| CaptainPlanet | Owner: nobody group: root | 04:08 |
| mike | heirrook: or save it | 04:08 |
| heirrook | mike: you press ctrl+x and then yes | 04:09 |

| mike | ok | 04:09 |
| raphen | hello | 04:09 |
| mgolisch | Felip1: i dont play games on my comp, for that i have various game consoles | 04:09 |
| heirrook | mike: after you changed it. then when it asks if you want to write say yes | 04:09 |
| mgolisch | but mostlikely any title from id software will work on linux | 04:09 |
| mike | heirrook: is there anything else i need to do after i do that | 04:09 |
| PhilH | Felip1, what do you consider to be class A? | 04:09 |
| adante | has anybody installed wine rc1? how do you do it? | 04:10 |
| Felip1 | hum....bioshock.... | 04:10 |

| spork969 | how do i convert a mp4 video to a gif? | 04:10 |
| Felip1 | games that win prizes in the megazines... | 04:10 |
| SeaPhor | CaptainPlanet, the people here are here by choice, not paid, just trying to help others, be nice- EVEN WHEN they dont know all of the answers to YOUR problem. | 04:10 |
| heirrook | mike: when you type sudo mount -a does it say nothing? | 04:10 |
| PhilH | Felip1, there's doom3, UT2k4, but i tend to play Tremulous myself | 04:10 |
| mike | it says i dont have a device | 04:11 |
| mike | etc | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | I just finished bioshock. It was very well done. but after hrs + of 'creepiness' i got burnt out. :) | 04:11 |
| Magus_X | Felip1: Wine | 04:11 |
| Felip1 | hum....thx | 04:11 |
| mike | wait | 04:11 |
| iRRVi | bye bye | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | I hope valve ports all the Halflife games over soon. :) | 04:11 |
| CaptainPlanet | I realise that, SeaPhor - and I appreciate help, but when someone tells you "dont use root" and doesn't offer any real help, it's rather frustrating >.< | 04:11 |
| Magus_X | Dr_willis: that is only a rumor | 04:11 |
| LaneLimited | please anyone, how can i install this file? tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run | 04:11 |
| heirrook | mike: you must have typed in etc in the file /etc/fstab | 04:11 |
| Magus_X | no one knows if they are really porting them | 04:11 |
| iRRVi | Dr_willis: dont get yer hopes up | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | Magus_X, yep. we will have to see. | 04:11 |
| Zigara | btw | 04:11 |
| raphen | i am trying to upgrade ubuntu 6.06 to the new 8.04 version. i am following directions from a website and when i do Press Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager -d" a message in the bottom bar says that an admin apllication is opening, it moves a little and then goes away and no application or window opens | 04:11 |
| Magus_X | btw | 04:11 |
| Zigara | the register on the forums is broken | 04:11 |
| mike | heirrook: it says /dev/sda2 doesnt have a valid NTFS | 04:12 |
| Magus_X | they work flawless in wine | 04:12 |
| PhilH | LaneLimited, just install from the repository | 04:12 |
| mike | i was way off | 04:12 |
| Zigara | nvm works now | 04:12 |
| LaneLimited | PhilH: thanks | 04:12 |
| heirrook | mike: sorry replace sda2 with what your drive name was | 04:12 |
| mgolisch | raphen: start in a terminal | 04:12 |
| Dr_willis | Magus_X, given the # of people is ee in here ashing how to get them going in wine.. i wouldent say its flawless.. :) but they can work with wine. | 04:12 |
| mike | yea | 04:12 |
| mike | whoops | 04:12 |
| SeaPhor | CaptainPlanet, theres a reson they say that and if you stick with this long enough you will know it too,,, there's no reason to use root, you have all you need | 04:13 |
| Magus_X | Dr_willis: yeah but well, it works | 04:13 |
| mgolisch | :( | 04:14 |
| mike | heirrook: ok now it says failed to mount because NTFS is shown to be in use | 04:14 |
| DrivenMad | That is true, some apps accually just use the regualr account.. adn some like kismet will use root access jsut for a second, then go back to regualr account | 04:14 |
| raphen | i did the same command in the terminal and recieve sudo: unable to lookup raphen-laptop via gethostbyname() | 04:14 |
| raphen | message | 04:14 |
| LiGhTMaGiCk | please help I have no sound on my gateway laptop its not muted or turned down and my card is recognized "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" | 04:14 |
| heirrook | mike: when you plugged in the drive did you show anything? | 04:15 |
| wastrel | CaptainPlanet: the right way to do this would involve adding the share to /etc/samba/smb.conf i don't know why the gui tool is carping about permisisons since i don't know how it works. samba in general gives me a headache. | 04:15 |
| mgolisch | raphen: ok then the problem is that you have raphen-laptop set as your hostname but didnt provide any mapping for that in your hosts files | 04:15 |
| CaptainPlanet | Can anyone help me set up ubuntu networking? I'm running the latest ubuntu on a virtualBox inside Vista home. I can access the internet etc from the ubuntu 'state' but I can't share anything/access files from either. Anyone got any ideas/guides I can look at in regards to this issue? | 04:15 |
| CaptainPlanet | Ok, thanks wastrel | 04:15 |
| scotiobade2 | does anyone know how to get an ipod touch to sync up with linux? or if it even possible. | 04:16 |
| mgolisch | CaptainPlanet: thats cause the std network config is nat | 04:16 |
| wastrel | !ipod | scotiobade2 | 04:16 |
| ubottu | scotiobade2: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 04:16 |
| scotiobade2 | oh thanks | 04:16 |
| Dr_willis | CaptainPlanet, i normally install samba and ssh in side the virtual os. then the 2 machines can access each other normally. | 04:16 |
| heirrook | mike: did it have a popup window that said "view in new window"? | 04:16 |
| raphen | ok that makes sense sins i just made the hosts file to not hit all those ad sites | 04:16 |
| LaneLimited | PhilH: I already have the file, Synaptic manager is gonna download it.... can i install from my file or should i just let it download? | 04:16 |
| Dr_willis | I do tend to use vmware, not sure how virtualbox differs in that area. | 04:16 |
| mike | heirrook: ok i think ive made progress, now it's just saying im not privledged to mount the drive | 04:16 |
| LaneLimited | PhilH: NVM, it's going fast..... i can wait 1 min for 100 mb's... =) | 04:16 |
| heirrook | did you type sudo mount -a? | 04:17 |
| Felip1 | oh nooooo | 04:17 |
| mike | heirrook: i just followed some instructions it gave me in terminal, and when i click on it in computer it just tells me i dont have permissions to open it | 04:17 |
| LabThug | ahhh, this caused my missing "face browser" problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/228931 | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 228931 in bash "/bin/bash not in /etc/shells, causing login window/fast user switch applet hilarity" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 04:17 |
| mike | heirrook: i mean privledged | 04:17 |
| Felip1 | in the nvidia website, it seems that there is no video driver for me =( | 04:17 |
| wastrel | what's a face browser? | 04:17 |
| heirrook | mike: how are you trying to access it? | 04:17 |
| mgolisch | Felip1: ?? just use the one from the restricted driver manager | 04:18 |
| Felip1 | i have a geforce 9600 gt | 04:18 |
| LabThug | wastrel, it shows each username with a pic so you can click it | 04:18 |
| LabThug | wife and kids love it | 04:18 |
| mike | heirrook: just through computer | 04:18 |
| heirrook | mike: go to /media/external (if that is where you mounted it?) | 04:18 |
| LabThug | I updated bash today. I guess that's what removed it | 04:18 |
| Magus_X | Ok i have a small problem on my friend's computer | 04:18 |
| mgolisch | Felip1: 9600gt? never heard of that | 04:18 |
| wastrel | never heard of it. interesting. | 04:18 |
| mgolisch | only know 8600 8800 | 04:18 |
| Felip1 | restricted driver manager? | 04:18 |
| Felip1 | 9600 gt...100% positive | 04:18 |
| Felip1 | its new.....kind of | 04:19 |
| Felip1 | what is the restricted driver manager? | 04:19 |
| Magus_X | We tried to install the 8.04 through auto isntall but we are stuck on this image ttp://img242.imageshack.us/img242/1148/screenshotinstalldj9.png , but it is only one hdd, and when we installed on the right one, it didn't boot | 04:19 |
| Felip1 | where can i find it? | 04:19 |
| SeaPhor | bazhang, if someone is not actually running Ubuntu, on a virtualBox inside Vista home, isn't that like not supported here? | 04:19 |
| mike | heirrook: uh nah i erased what we had earlier bc ubuntu gave me some directions to put /dev/sdc1 /media/external ntfs-3g force 0 0 on there | 04:19 |
| mgolisch | Felip1: it manages restricted(nonfree/notopensource) drivers | 04:19 |
| Dr_willis | Felip1, normally thers an icon on the top right panel that has info on it. or its in the menus. | 04:19 |
| mike | which still seems to have /media/external doesnt it | 04:19 |
| dmatador | hello everyon i'm having a problem that (i think) is really easy to fix i'm just missing something. i followed a tutorial to share my internet connection and now it's not working at all | 04:19 |
| mike | but theres no "external" in the media folder | 04:20 |
| mgolisch | Felip1: you can find it under System-Administration somewhere | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | i wonder if there shouldent just be a First Time Startup-wizard to walk people through a lot of this stuff.. :() | 04:20 |
| dmatador | the tutorial had me use netmasq and shit | 04:20 |
| Felip1 | ok, i will check it out | 04:20 |
| heirrook | mike: type sudo mkdir /media/external | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | !ics | 04:20 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 04:20 |
| dmatador | i don't know but now i can't go to any sites at all. it doesn't even try to find one it just automatically says cannot be found | 04:20 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: ?? | 04:20 |
| mike | heirrook: and then do i need to go back and re-edit the file? | 04:21 |
| dmatador | ok but i don't need to share the connection anymore, i just want the internet working on that computer again | 04:21 |
| heirrook | mike: no after that just do sudo mount -a again | 04:21 |
| dmatador | i fucked something up, now i have to fix it somehow and revert to how it was before | 04:21 |
| Magus_X | Felip1: i got a 8600GT, 100% positive for it const | 04:21 |
| Magus_X | *cost | 04:21 |
| dmatador | i can show you the link for the exact codes i put in if that would help | 04:21 |
| mike | heirrook: woohoo! it works thanks man! | 04:21 |
| dmatador | i think that for some reason firefox might be trying to use a wired connection now, instead of the wifi like i want it to | 04:21 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: do that | 04:22 |
| mike | heirrook: i can read and write to this now? think i'll encounter any issues? | 04:22 |
| dmatador | ok hang on | 04:22 |
| mgolisch | mike: usualy not | 04:22 |
| dmatador | i followed the directions in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 | 04:22 |
| mgolisch | mike: it may have problems if the drive was ejected roughly before | 04:22 |
| dmatador | and thank you for helping me, whether or not you can figure it out | 04:22 |
| heirrook | mike: no problem. the only thing is if you disconnect the drive, put a # in front of that line in /etc/fstab if you don't use it often | 04:22 |
| dmatador | wasn't sure if anybody woul in here or not, haven't been in the channel before | 04:22 |
| mike | oh | 04:23 |
| heirrook | mike: then just erase the # when you want to plug it in and do the sudo mount -a command | 04:23 |
| mike | heirrook: can i eject it like another removable media then? | 04:23 |
| heirrook | you may need to go into terminal and type sudo umount /media/external | 04:23 |
| mgolisch | not realy as its a builtin drive you will allways need to give your passwd | 04:23 |
| mgolisch | i think | 04:24 |
| heirrook | mike: this will unmount it | 04:24 |
| babolat | how do i make DNS changes in my network settings. having dynamic IP addressing, my DNS change every time i reboot. | 04:24 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: but you connection works? | 04:24 |
| SeaPhor | dmatador, hey, just if you want help, please watch the language, they'll boot ya. ;-) | 04:24 |
| mike | heirrook: ok thanks! | 04:24 |
| heirrook | yep | 04:24 |
| mike | do i put # on the file before or after i unmount | 04:25 |
| amenado | babolat-> thats dhcp for you, it can dole out a diff ip addr everytime | 04:25 |
| Lycus | I'm trying to mount an HFS USB drive - not sure what it's /dev/ assignment is, how can I list all HDDs in /dev/ ? | 04:25 |
| dmatador | mgolisch: no it doesn't work, i'm on another computer right now | 04:26 |
| heirrook | mike: the # will just comment out the line in fstab. so if the # is there, it will act like the line is not. this is so you do not need to type that long line every time | 04:26 |
| dmatador | SeaPhor sorry about that, just a habit | 04:26 |
| babolat | amenado: didnt quite get you there. but i am looking at DNS clients from OpenDNS. Am I looking at the right stuff? | 04:26 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: ok id get rid of ipmasq and dnsmasq first | 04:26 |
| wastrel | Lycus: better is to check in your messages log - the device it's assigned will pop up when you plug it in | 04:26 |
| dmatador | sudo apt-get remove ipmasq dnsmasq | 04:26 |
| wastrel | Lycus: unplug the drive, tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it back in | 04:26 |
| dmatador | right? | 04:26 |
| mike | heirrook: i see. so that will essentially unmount the drive and then i can remove it | 04:26 |
| amenado | babolat-> you have replaced your dhclient with one from opendns? | 04:27 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: yeah | 04:27 |
| mgolisch | remove it? | 04:27 |
| SeaPhor | dmatador, it dont bother me,,, just a warning,,, they are strict here and i understand :-)) | 04:27 |
| Lycus | wastrel: Ah, ok, it's sdb. | 04:27 |
| mgolisch | mike: its a removable(usb) droive? | 04:27 |
| heirrook | mike: not quite. if you want to remove it, do the sudo umount /media/external | 04:27 |
| babolat | amenado: no. but im looking at http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/.. i just want the OpenDNS nameservers to stay even after my ISP gives me new ones. | 04:27 |
| mgolisch | why not use the automount foo? | 04:28 |
| wastrel | babolat: check in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 04:28 |
| mgolisch | if its a removable? | 04:28 |
| wastrel | you can tell dhclient not to request new nameservers | 04:28 |
| amenado | babolat-> once more, did you change your dhclient to use opendns client instead? | 04:28 |
| dmatador | SeaPhor, yeah i'd understand if there were a lot of young children on here but i doubt there is many. other than the occasional kid who's like i was in middle school :) | 04:28 |
| dmatador | mgolisch ok i did that, now what? | 04:28 |
| babolat | wastrel: even changing them there still removes the OpenDNS nameservers after my ISP automatically assigns new nameservers | 04:28 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: what did you use to setup the wifi? | 04:28 |
| Lycus | wastrel: Would it be /dev/sdb, then? | 04:28 |
| babolat | amenado: *no*. but im looking at http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/.. i just want the OpenDNS nameservers to stay even after my ISP gives me new ones. | 04:29 |
| erikb | Does anyone know what the md5 hash for the desktop i386 Hardy Heron ? I am having problems installing, it says that there is an i/o error and when I test the cd it says one file is bad, but k3b checked that it was consistent with the image file. BTW im in school dmatador | 04:29 |
| wastrel | Lycus: if that's what you se when you plug it in, yeah | 04:29 |
| amenado | babolat what exactly is the problem? | 04:29 |
| dmatador | mgolisch: i used ndiswrapper and it worked fine. never could get bcm cutter or whatever to work | 04:29 |
| babolat | how do i make DNS changes in my network settings. having dynamic IP addressing, my DNS change every time i reboot. | 04:29 |
| Lycus | wastrel: To mount it would I modify my fstab? | 04:29 |
| dmatador | mgolisch: haha well, that fixed it | 04:29 |
| babolat | i want those changes to *stay* even after my ISP provides me with new nameservers | 04:29 |
| dmatador | i guess i just had to remove those two packages | 04:29 |
| dmatador | why do you think that is? | 04:29 |
| Lycus | wastrel: it only says 'sdb' not '/dev/sdb' | 04:29 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: glad it works now | 04:30 |
| mgolisch | :) | 04:30 |

| amenado | babolat you have to look at your dhclient configs and for it to not request a new dnsserver | 04:30 |
| wastrel | erikb: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/hardy/MD5SUMS | 04:30 |
| mgolisch | dmatador: those most likely set some weird firewall rules that where wrong or so | 04:30 |
| mgolisch | no idea | 04:30 |
| erikb | thanks | 04:30 |
| babolat | amenado: and how pls? :) | 04:30 |
| wastrel | Lycus: /dev/sdb would be it i think | 04:30 |

| bullgard4 | What does stand 'sse' for in the use flag of Pentium processors? | 05:47 |

| heirrook | lightmagick: what card do you have again? | 05:50 |
| heirrook | nassty: use ndiswrapper from source by the way | 05:50 |
| kripz | Any network guru's want to try solve my problem?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4901507#post4901507 | 05:50 |

Any help? | 05:56 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntu really need to find a way to do upgrades that don't break so bad. | 05:56 |
| zoidfar1 | heirrook, I did that, and the plugin shows up in the Opera settings menu. But when I go to a site, it just looks white and the tooltip says "Click here to activate and use this control" but clicking does nothing | 05:56 |

| chetnick | my system broke down very bad after upgrading from feisty to gutsy, i dont even dare to go from gutsy to hardy until i find some room for backup of gutsy | 05:58 |

| [DS]DragonSlayer | i had an error b4 but it was a different error that i had to reinstall ubuntu | 06:10 |
| matthias_N | Mr_Awesome: in my case with that program i adjusted the volumen and that was it ... | 06:11 |
| Takumidesh | Dragon- so you do you have anythign on the hd | 06:11 |
| bpat1434 | okay, well, I got my printer set up, and I can ping other items on the network, and my desktop can ping me ;) | 06:11 |
| Metox | I checked the integrity of the CD's using the tool from the install menu. Checks out good. | 06:11 |
| bazhang | Metox, this the live cd? | 06:11 |
| heirrook | flip2405: i do not use irc much. how do I do that | 06:12 |
| nassty | heirrook, sorry for the verbosity of the paste | 06:12 |
| matthias_N | Mr_Awesome: i did that at least and the volume was not enabled for me try it and if not uninstall it again ... if you feel like, that is my suggestion ... | 06:12 |
| Metox | Not live, boot straight from the CD drive | 06:12 |
| Flip2405 | heirrook type /j #flip | 06:12 |
| Mr_Awesome | matthias_N: you had the same problem as me? | 06:12 |
| matthias_N | wireless printer anyone lexmark | 06:12 |
| sixforty | heirrook: /join #flip will work if /j ... doesn't | 06:13 |
| bazhang | metox does it boot to a desktop or an installer text window | 06:13 |
| consumismo_owns | hi, anyone here can fix my fresh ubuntu install? I receive this error on start first time after install: "Master Boot Record Error" | 06:13 |
| matthias_N | in my case i heard nothing but maybe in your case the volume is to high so it distorts ..., i am guessing here since it seems that your headset wired is workig but the level off sound might be to high ... | 06:13 |
| kindofabuzz | wow that freeBSD installer is crazy | 06:14 |
| Takumidesh | wow there seems to be a lot of problems with hardy | 06:14 |
| heirrook | flip2405: is that in freenode? it doesn't seem to work for me | 06:14 |
| consumismo_owns | I'm totally newbie in linux, I can activate the vnc | 06:14 |
| Metox | Cant get to desktop. Get the initial install menu, I choose install, and after a while the horizontal ping pong just stops. | 06:14 |
| Metox | No error messages | 06:14 |
| Flip2405 | No No | 06:14 |
| bazhang | !mbr | consumismo_owns | 06:14 |
| ubottu | consumismo_owns: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:14 |
| matthias_N | Mr_Awesome: In My case i heard nothing but when istalling this program and pop up the volume it worked and maybe you hqave the volume and everything turn too much up, i am guessing here ... | 06:14 |
| Mr_Awesome | matthias_N: wow, that solved it. i did absolutely nothing but install the package, and now everything works perfectly. thanks a lot! :) | 06:15 |
| Flip2405 | heirrook where you typed Flip2405: is that in freenode? type /join #flip | 06:15 |
| matthias_N | Mr_Awesome: you are welcome ... | 06:15 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | @Takumidesh: yes i have windows on that HD as well | 06:15 |
| consumismo_owns | ubottu, for some reason grub is not able to write in mbr | 06:15 |
| ubottu | consumismo_owns: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:15 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | i can't seem to load the linux live cd as well | 06:15 |
| kruik | can i say the herdy unstable? | 06:15 |
| Metox | An old XP disk boots | 06:15 |
| bazhang | metox get into grub menu and remove quiet and splash from the boot parameters to look for the exact errors-->you may also try the alternate cd (text based install only) | 06:15 |
| consumismo_owns | bazhang, for some reason grub is not able to write in mbr | 06:15 |
| jack-desktop | is there a program that'll allow partition editing after a reboot? | 06:15 |
| Flip2405 | heirrook what irc client are you using? | 06:15 |
| zvacet | Metox : is this O.K. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 06:15 |
| nassty | heirrook, gtg, thanks for the halp anyway | 06:15 |
| bazhang | consumismo_owns, where is mbr | 06:15 |
| thorny_sun | anyone tell me how to get screenlets/desklets/whatever will show weather on my desktop setup? | 06:16 |
| nassty | cia | 06:16 |
| Takumidesh | dragon-anything important? if not try reformatting, are you trying to install over or make a partition? | 06:16 |
| consumismo_owns | good question | 06:16 |
| Metox | how do I get to GRUB | 06:16 |
| RyanPrior | thorny_sun: in Hardy, the time applet also shows weather. :-) | 06:16 |
| bazhang | kruik, please clarify your issue | 06:16 |
| thorny_sun | RyanPrior: what time applet? | 06:16 |
| bazhang | metox there should be a 3 second countdown to get into it | 06:16 |
| RyanPrior | thorny_sun: The one in the top right corner by default. | 06:17 |
| wastrel | RyanPrior: but you can't get a forecast out of it | 06:17 |
| wastrel | weather applet is better | 06:17 |
| zvacet | Metox : did you installed Ubuntu or you are trying to run it from live Cd | 06:17 |
| RyanPrior | wastrel: Correct. Weather applet is much better suited to the job. | 06:17 |
| Metox | zvacet - CD integrety checks out fine | 06:17 |
| thorny_sun | RyanPrior: yeah-- I was hoping for forecast | 06:17 |
| bazhang | zvacet, live | 06:17 |
| kripz | anybody know of any simple apps that moniter how much ive downloaded/uploaded (similar to windows DU Meter), preferably one that sits in the task bar | 06:17 |
| thorny_sun | wastrel: do you recommend a weather applet? | 06:17 |
| Metox | Looks like I will have to install from command line | 06:17 |
| consumismo_owns | linux is too hard for me, I just tried the wizard to install and no luck.. "Master Boot Record Error" | 06:18 |
| wastrel | thorny_sun: i just use the gnome panel applet | 06:18 |
| alex1 | hi guys, i installed a newer version of libasound2, but it's causing problems. I want to revert back to the one in the repositories, but don't know how | 06:18 |
| bazhang | metox is this dual boot | 06:18 |
| RyanPrior | consumismo_owns: What sort of wizard? | 06:18 |
| Metox | The CD check tool from the main menu checks out fine | 06:18 |
| thorny_sun | wastrel: how do you get to install it? | 06:18 |
| Metox | this is not a dual boot | 06:18 |
| consumismo_owns | RyanPrior, Install button in Ubuntu 8.0.4 Live CD | 06:18 |
| wastrel | thorny_sun: in gnome, right-click the panel > add to panel > weather report | 06:19 |
| bazhang | metox well you need the exact errors to fix; editing the boot params of that kernel is needed | 06:19 |
| Metox | How can I check the messages | 06:19 |
| kdc1956 | Ubuntu 8.04 is so easy to install | 06:19 |
| bazhang | metox get into grub then choose a kernel and hit e to edit and remove quiet and splash | 06:19 |
| Metox | I need to get some information to trouble shoot. | 06:19 |
| Takumidesh | not for me | 06:19 |
| consumismo_owns | RyanPrior, can you join my pc by vnc to try fix it? | 06:19 |
| Metox | It is soo easy - did it before | 06:19 |
| Veinor | Why is it that whenever I try to install firefox via apt, it always tries to use the CD? | 06:20 |
| Metox | But this box is different | 06:20 |
| bazhang | Veinor, remove cd from sortware sources | 06:20 |
| RyanPrior | consumismo_owns: I'm not good at fixing anything MBR-related, unfortunately. | 06:20 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: what probs do you have that require VNC aid? | 06:20 |
| alex1 | nm, figured it out. package -> force version | 06:20 |
| Veinor | how do I do that? | 06:20 |
| bazhang | Veinor, open synaptic and do it there or from software sources | 06:21 |
| RyanPrior | bazhang: System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 06:21 |
| zvacet | Veinor : system<admin>software sources | 06:21 |
| thorny_sun | wastrel: thanks for the help! | 06:21 |
| zChris | is there a way i can use cp to copy everything in stuff inluding its under directories EXCEPT the directory user2 that resides in stuff ? | 06:21 |
| bazhang | RyanPrior, not me with the prob thanks ;] | 06:21 |
| MikeCulver | I'm interested in setting up a very secure laptop with Ubuntu. How secure does LVM with encryption make the data on the filesystem? Also, would I still be able to have a 'guest' style account someone could use but not access encrypted data? | 06:21 |
| RyanPrior | bazhang: Ah, was meant for Veinor. :-) | 06:21 |
| Metox | does any body know how to get messages instead of the ping pong whilist loading? | 06:22 |
| bazhang | metox aye I told you | 06:22 |
| Metox | e edit? | 06:22 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: Yes you could create a guest account, and the encryption is only as secure as your encryption key. | 06:22 |
| bazhang | metox get into grub and edit kernel boot parameters | 06:22 |
| Takumidesh | that looks like its gonna be fun | 06:23 |
| Rat409 | metox try hit esc or better to add splash=silent to kernel line | 06:23 |
| Metox | Ok now I understand what you meant - sorry | 06:23 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, I never used any linux.. today I install one fresh new HD in my computer, run the ubuntu live cd 8.0.4, click in 'install' button from desktop, I just follow the steps of wizard to install, after done I restart the system and now I receive this message in black screen: "Master Boot Record Error". I'm not able to fix it, I never used Linux. | 06:23 |
| bazhang | np ;] | 06:23 |
| Rat409 | and verbose instead od quiet | 06:23 |
| kripz | does anyone here use trickle? do you always have to execute "trickle <program>" to get it working? | 06:23 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: If you use a long passphrase with high entropy, it's probably pretty secure. However, security expert Bruce Schneier recommends using a loop-mounted encrypted volume within an encrypted partition, so you can unmount the parts that you don't need and thus protect them from possible attack. | 06:23 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: but how can you use VNC when it dosent boot u p? | 06:23 |
| sol | hi | 06:24 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, with live cd | 06:24 |
| bazhang | hi sol | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | You can run 'vncserver' and have a X desktop in a hidden vnc session. | 06:24 |
| sol | hows it goin | 06:24 |
| Flashy | has anyone had trouble with the DVD Burner thinking there's no disc in? | 06:24 |
| bazhang | !ask | sol | 06:24 |
| ubottu | sol: 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. :-) | 06:24 |
| emergion | Hello, anyone had trouble with 8.04 LTS and flash? I have no sound | 06:24 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: So I'm assuming I would have to set up different home parts.. perhaps one encrypted and the other not for each account? | 06:24 |
| Takumidesh | flashy-details | 06:24 |
| bazhang | !flashsound | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | Flashy, ive had issues with DVD burners just vanishing fromthe system after i burn one disk | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Factoid flashsound not found | 06:24 |
| sol | i'm not really askin a question right now | 06:24 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: how are your hds ordered? | 06:24 |
| jjt009 | hey guys, just downloaded and installed ubuntu 8.04, huge fatal errors, when i boot up system and enter username/passwrd blank black screen appears | 06:25 |
| bazhang | emergion, install libflashsupport | 06:25 |
| emergion | ok I will | 06:25 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: I would suggest having an encrypted partition for /tmp and /swap, an encrypted /home/MikeCulver, and an unencrypted root filesystem. | 06:25 |
| jjt009 | i can only get the system to work in terminal mode | 06:25 |
| bazhang | sol this is support channel-->chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks | 06:25 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, I'm on other HD now with windows... I will remove this hd, and put the other with linux.. run the live cd, activate the vnc and send ip for you access it | 06:25 |
| drrohin | any one having audio probems with vlc on 8.04 | 06:25 |
| zChris | jjt009: what happens when you press startx in terminal? | 06:25 |
| jjt009 | haven't tried | 06:26 |
| jjt009 | let me do so | 06:26 |
| smacky | is there a program that i can use to rip 360 games using ubuntu 8 | 06:26 |
| sol | ok well then... | 06:26 |
| RyanPrior | smacky: dd | 06:26 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: so you only have one 1 hd connected at all time? | 06:26 |
| bazhang | smacky, what reason | 06:26 |
| RyanPrior | bazhang: Archival purposes, presumably. | 06:26 |
| Flashy | everything I try to burn with whinges there's no disc | 06:26 |
| matthias_N | anyone have sucessfully installed an lexmark pinter? | 06:26 |
| sol | i have a slight problem with last.fm... after a fresh install of ubuntu 8, sometimes it doesnt work, and soemtimes it does. all other system sound works.... any ideas | 06:26 |
| matthias_N | printer | 06:26 |
| smacky | reason bein to play on my modded 360 | 06:26 |
| Flashy | and it seems now I can't even play an audio cd | 06:27 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: My thought was to have a password-less guest acct in case it gets stolen... so the silly criminal would log into that, hop on WiFi, and the laptop could ping back home until the cops knock on the door.... Would I be able to keep the password for the encrypted FS on my user keyring? Or would I have to unlock it separately each time? | 06:27 |
| zChris | RyanPrior: fail :) | 06:27 |
| kripz | what program can view/edit power point presentations? | 06:27 |
| Fezzler | For some reason when I start Minicom from my menu, I see it flash on then go away?????? | 06:27 |
| bazhang | matthias_N, connected to router presumably | 06:27 |
| zChris | kripz: Openoffice suite i think | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | Fezzler, try it from a terminal. last i looked minicom was a console/text app. | 06:27 |
| bazhang | open office kripz | 06:27 |
| matthias_N | bazhang: yes wirelessly | 06:28 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: Also, I was looking into a feature on new ThinkPads that claims to offer full hardware-based disk encryption... would this interfere, or operate beyond the knowledge of the OS? | 06:28 |
| amenado | bpat1434-> anything? | 06:28 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: You could certainly cache the login credential so you don't have to type in the passphrase every time you access an encrypted part. :-) | 06:28 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, yes two hd, but I want connect only one per time to install the SO, after this I will connect both hd'd and manage the boot with the "F8" feature of my motherboard | 06:28 |
| zvacet | kripz : clicl/double click on file and Openoffice will open for you | 06:28 |
| bazhang | matthias_N, you set in the router yet? | 06:28 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: hardware-based encryption is invisible to the OS. | 06:28 |
| zcat[1] | MikeCulver: ahhh yes.. that would be hardware based 128-bit xor ;) | 06:28 |
| consumismo_owns | hard to understand? try to imagine I have only 1 hd and I try to install Linux on it | 06:28 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: It's also more efficient, since no CPU overhead is required. | 06:28 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: ah okey, try to connect the linux hd by itself and boot | 06:28 |
| Sidd | What sounds nicer, Forcedroot.org or .com? It's for a vegetable planting website | 06:29 |
| matthias_N | bazhang: what do you mean set in the router ???, it have an ip adress if that is what you mean ... | 06:29 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: dont try to boot from linux with both hardrives connected | 06:29 |
| jjt009 | zChris: doesn't work | 06:29 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: If I had the money, I'd buy into hardware disk encryption technology myself. | 06:29 |
| bazhang | consumismo_owns, if mbr is on windows hd then that is the source of your prob | 06:29 |
| jjt009 | zChrist: xServer is already running | 06:29 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: Does that type of system make use of the TCPM chip or what? | 06:29 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: I don't understand the technology behind it. | 06:29 |
| zChris | jjt009: when you login on the failsafe kernel mode ? | 06:29 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: But full disk encryption would require unlocking to even boot the OS, correct? | 06:29 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: correct. | 06:30 |
| jjt009 | zChris:how exactly do i do that | 06:30 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, yes, I use only one hd.. I plug this hd with windows now only to get help here, I always try boot the linux only with 1 hd | 06:30 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: then that kind of kills the idea I had | 06:30 |
| zChris | jjt009: reboot, and choose that kernel at grub | 06:30 |
| jjt009 | ok | 06:30 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: is the TCPM supported for key storage in Ubuntu? | 06:30 |
| consumismo_owns | the, you can connect to my vnc? | 06:30 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: reinstall linux with both hds connected | 06:30 |
| consumismo_owns | then | 06:30 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: I'm not sure. | 06:30 |
| bazhang | MikeCulver, nay | 06:30 |
| Fezzler | Dr_willis: nope | 06:30 |
| sentry | you know anything about sound problems in ubuntu 8.04 ... what can i do? | 06:31 |
| zvacet | jjt009 : ctrl+alt+F2 and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and see if that helps | 06:31 |
| bazhang | sentry with youtube or what | 06:31 |
| Fezzler | Dr_willis: not unless I give the command minicom -s | 06:31 |
| RyanPrior | sentry: Does the sound problem have to do with Firefox and Flash, by chance? | 06:31 |
| MikeCulver | RyanPrior: thanks for the info. Looks like I need to hit up some thinkpad junkie forums :) | 06:31 |
| teethdood | I have no sound after selecting/deselecting Admin/Services/Audio Settings Management (alsa)). how do I get sound back? | 06:31 |
| sentry | bazhang, nothing work | 06:31 |
| RyanPrior | MikeCulver: Good luck. Security is a sticky thing - make sure you do your research. | 06:32 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, this is my second attempt, I can't intall with both hds connected because I dont want no one boot loader manage like grub or lilo to manage my windows hd (show menu to choose SO to start) | 06:32 |
| sentry | when ubuntu start not sound the start wav's...nothing, mp3, etc... | 06:32 |
| bpat1434 | amenado: sorry, computer crapped out again | 06:32 |
| bpat1434 | amenado: what did you say? | 06:32 |
| bazhang | sentry install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:32 |
| sentry | yes i do that | 06:33 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: hmm, does you get that master boot record when you ONLY boot from your linux hardrive? And dont have windows hardrive connected ? | 06:33 |
| zvacet | sentry : system>preferences>volume control | 06:34 |
| bazhang | sentry need more info-->you using wine, what about youtube sound with firefox-->or just zero sound of any kind | 06:34 |
| RyanPrior | bazhang: He says that even free formats wont' play. | 06:34 |
| joetheodd | How can I force unzip to open a JAR file? | 06:34 |
| sentry | bazhang, zero sound for any kind | 06:34 |
| bazhang | sentry, you set to alsa in sound prefs yet? | 06:35 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: have you tried opening with the normal Arhcive Manager? | 06:35 |
| Xcell | bazhang: is there a way to get my logout sound back?, thx | 06:35 |
| joetheodd | Enselic, I'm working with a ton of files that I'd rather do with wildcards. But I'm sure that'd work, of course. | 06:35 |
| aspoor | I got ndiswrapper working tonight | 06:35 |
| aspoor | woot me go go go | 06:35 |
| bazhang | Xcell, you switch it off or what | 06:35 |
| LtCmdrWrf | GJ | 06:35 |
| sentry | bazhang, let me see | 06:35 |
| paulcross | sentry, I just encountered the same situation and fixed by boot from the recovery mode. | 06:35 |
| Rat409 | MikeCulver: one option perhaps http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Encrypt_home_partition_with_cryptsetup_.26_LUKS | 06:36 |
| matthias_N | anyone know how to get wireshark to run ... | 06:36 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: Arhive Manager uses a plugin system I think; it does not use unzip for all of its files | 06:36 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, exactly | 06:36 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | Is there a way to reset the top toolbar to its original default, when i hit close on some of my program, it doesn't minimize to the top bar as an icon, it disappears instead | 06:36 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: unzip only handles zipfiles afaik | 06:36 |
| rafaelcosta | alguem do Tocantins? | 06:36 |
| Xcell | no, i wonder...ever since i loaded compiz it quit, i loaded 7.10 + 8.04 several times, maybe its a hardware pblm? | 06:36 |
| joetheodd | Enselic, the thing is, JAR files are ZIP files, but I can't seem to make it open a FILE.JAR style filename. | 06:36 |
| rafaelcosta | como faço para configurar o mysql no UBUNTU? | 06:36 |
| dudus | rafaelcosta: go to #ubuntu-br | 06:37 |
| joetheodd | Is there a way I can mass rename s/jar/zip or something? | 06:37 |
| joetheodd | !es | 06:37 |
| ubottu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 06:37 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: what happends if you just pass a .jar to unzip? | 06:37 |
| rafaelcosta | já instalei-o por meio do sudo | 06:37 |
| zChris | consumismo_owns: dont know really, sorry :/ | 06:37 |
| patifa | [DS]DragonSlayer: The programs, by default, in GNOME, minimize to the bottom. | 06:37 |
| joetheodd | Enselic, caution: filename not matched: file.jar | 06:37 |
| Rat409 | xcel java -jar <name>.jar ? | 06:37 |
| atrus | joetheodd: unzip just opens them successfully here | 06:37 |
| berkelep | what are /bin/bash and /bin/sbin? | 06:37 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | @patifa, how do i reset it? | 06:37 |
| Xcell | I couldnt tell ya Rat409 | 06:38 |
| LtCmdrWrf | /bin/bash is the terminal | 06:38 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | @patifa - somehow instead of having icons at top, it has bars of my programs like my bottom toolbar | 06:38 |
| Xcell | could be, so | 06:38 |
| LtCmdrWrf | /bin/sbin is Sudo | 06:38 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: right, it just warns you | 06:38 |
| sentry | i have set the HDA ALSA Mixer | 06:38 |
| Rat409 | its how you tun apps in dot jar files | 06:38 |
| Rat409 | run | 06:38 |
| consumismo_owns | zChris, not only have 5 minutes to check my grub via vnc? | 06:38 |
| joetheodd | Enselic, the thing is it didn't open anything though | 06:38 |
| stephan_ | hey all | 06:39 |
| Starnestommy | LtCmdrWrf: /bin/sbinn does not exist. /usr/bin/sudo is sudo | 06:39 |
| consumismo_owns | only five minutes and nothing more | 06:39 |
| kruik | hi everybody can i help me | 06:39 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: but doesn't it still extract them? if you don't want that output you could pass -q | 06:39 |
| Xcell | ok, tx, ill check it out | 06:39 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | @ patifa so how do i reset it? | 06:39 |
| Enselic | joetheodd: why should it open anytying? | 06:39 |
| Xcell | nice | 06:39 |
| goodtimes | does the stock ubuntu kernel support reiser4? | 06:39 |

| RyanPrior | jjt009: There is no downgrade path, unfortunately. You'd have to reinstall from scratch. | 06:53 |
| jjt009 | Xcell: yes | 06:54 |
| jjt009 | RyanPrior: if i reinstalled, can i recover all my files | 06:54 |
| RyanPrior | jjt009: Nope. You would have to back them up and restore them to the newly installed system. | 06:54 |
| kindofabuzz | save your files first is always the best option | 06:54 |

| bazhang | jjt009, please stay on topic | 07:00 |
| kripz | jjt009, did you try reconfigure x? | 07:00 |
| doctor_thunde1 | bazhang: no sound on youtube or rythmbox | 07:00 |
| bazhang | doctor_thunde1, install libflashsupport | 07:00 |
| RyanPrior | doctor_thunde1: That's a well-documented bug. It's being worked on. | 07:00 |
| doctor_thunde1 | thanks | 07:00 |
| RyanPrior | doctor_thunde1: You can install libflashsupport, but I don't recommend it. | 07:00 |
| RyanPrior | doctor_thunde1: It may fix the sound problem, but it tends to crash Firefox. | 07:01 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | blah i can't upload stuff to photobucket using ubuntu | 07:01 |
| Xcell | cant tell ya......unless you do this... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg......and let X fix itself in recovery mode | 07:01 |
| doctor_thunde1 | I should have waited before I installed hardy heron so soon | 07:01 |
| doctor_thunde1 | but I like to be bleeding edge | 07:01 |

| jjt009 | kripz: nup | 07:02 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | @Ryan for some reason mine doesn't do that anymore | 07:02 |
| RyanPrior | doctor_thunde1: I've been using Hardy Heron for months while it's been in testing, and the sound problems have come and gone. I've been through lots of sound crap lately - but it'll be sorted out at some point. | 07:02 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | including all other programs | 07:02 |
| kripz | jjt009, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:03 |
| RyanPrior | [DS]DragonSlayer: perhaps you need to add a notification area applet? | 07:03 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | so if i minimize (dock it) i can't get the program back | 07:03 |
| Xcell | jjt009: let it fix itself already | 07:03 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | iono, when i turned on my comp it messed up someohw, but if that works, how do i do that? | 07:03 |
| doctor_thunde1 | Ryan: i'm glad i'm not the only one, just hope I don't screw my computer up more trying to fix it | 07:03 |

| Enselic` | joetheodd: how do you try to install it? | 07:04 |
| bazhang | ubuntu5446, best run the livecd first | 07:04 |

| ubuntu5446 | RyanPrior: i have an hp laptop, so far gutsy is working well enough | 07:05 |
| MidgetSpy | has anybody heard of problems with the 2.6.25 and Gnome/xorg? I compiled 2.6.25 on 7.10 and X stops working, but if I boot the original default kernel again it works fine | 07:05 |
| Enselic` | joetheodd: it should ask if you want to install of of its dependencies | 07:05 |
| Enselic` | joetheodd: otherwise you could simply do sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev | 07:05 |
| joetheodd | Enselic`, it doesn't offer, though. I'll try that | 07:05 |
| Enselic` | joetheodd: I prefer the command line. Note that you have TAB completion on packages | 07:06 |
| RyanPrior | ubuntu5446: If everything is working well and you've got no complaints, then there's probably not a whole lot for you to gain by upgrading to Hardy right now. At some point you'll probably want Firefox 3, PulseAudio, and all that - but right now it's in flux, so you're not losing out on much by waiting till later to upgrade. | 07:06 |
| joetheodd | Enselic`, oh really? Nifty! | 07:06 |

| ubuntu5446 | RyanPrior: yeah, but it was not so good for hp laptops for awhile, and i still cannot get my wireless to work, but i am fine with that; for some reason if wireless is enabled, it slows my computer down to a grinding halt, though the wireless seems to work | 07:08 |
| ubuntu5446 | RyanPrior: but i have heard there are still problems with the broadcom wireless even with hardy heron, so nothing to gain there | 07:08 |

| Xcell | have a good day folks! | 07:13 |
| Enselic` | joetheodd: you could try installing the dependencies manually | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | crc_, the ide becomding scsi - is due to changes in the libata system in which all drives are going to be treated as scsi devices. | 07:14 |
| joetheodd | Enselic`, it seems to be the ubuntu label that's causing the problem | 07:14 |
| bazhang | joetheodd, what do you need that for | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | as for dma. Not sure on that. :) as part of the changes. i was thinking the not using dma issues have been fixed where the drives should allways be using dma if they can. | 07:14 |

| biouser | has anyone successfully gone from 6.06 to 8.04? | 07:18 |
| kripz | Is it only xubuntu or is it ubuntu/linux that has this problem. When i copy something and close that window, i go to paste in another window and my clip board is cleared | 07:18 |
| * delcoyote hi | 07:18 | |
| mosno | newb: depends if you have a movement sensor. i remember reading something about certain models having a movement sensor to prevent HDD damage, and you can hack it for things like this. dunno which model, maybe Lenovo or HP but i'm not sure | 07:18 |
| bazhang | Kerpal2, let me check the forums-->is this hardy | 07:18 |
| Kerpal2 | feisty | 07:18 |
| umop | what is the default ur;/port for Clutch (installed via apt/repo)? | 07:18 |
| newb | mosno: i don't have an accelerometer in my laptop. there are software out there on the market which help you trace your stolen laptop. will they work with Ubuntu? is there any such solution? | 07:18 |
| mosno | newb: you mean a homing beacon over IP? | 07:19 |
| crc_ | Dr_willis: How can I tell what transfer mode my disk is useing then? PIO DMA? | 07:19 |

| mosno | newb: maybe google for: linux phone home | 07:19 |
| mosno | dunno | 07:19 |
| newb | mosno: ok | 07:19 |

| biouser | what do you think of clicking upgrade from Dapper to Hardy? | 07:20 |
| bazhang | Kerpal2, this is 64bit? what does glxgears show | 07:20 |
| === The_JoKer is now known as Spider-Man | ||

| patifa | biouser: I'd throw in a Hardy LiveCD first and boot from it, to avoid 1 layer of surprises. | 07:20 |
| Starnestommy | umop: it might be port 9091 | 07:20 |
| Chipsa964 | how would i go about using a USB wireless adapter? simply plugging it in doesn't seem to work | 07:20 |
| === SplinTer is now known as SplinTer0616 | ||
| patifa | biouser: Not that you couldn't... potentially have other problems post-upgrade. But you'd at least reduce the odds of terrible things from a LiveCD check. | 07:21 |
| umop | Starnestommy, hmm tried that and it doesn't seem to be | 07:21 |
| Dr_willis | crc_, not sure now a days. Ive not looked into it recently. | 07:21 |
| Chipsa964 | err, USB wireless internet adapter | 07:21 |
| Kerpal2 | bazhang, it is 32 bit, glxgears does work. | 07:21 |
| rey | u know | 07:21 |
| patifa | Chipsa964: Entirely depends on the maker. | 07:22 |
| biouser | patifa: I have no CD (blank or otherwise) and was having a lot of problems with Hardy from CD (made two CDs that wouldn't consistently checksum themselves), I messed everything up and Dapper was the only good disk I had lying around | 07:22 |
| joot | Chipsa964: I have the same prob but no answer sorry | 07:22 |
| Chipsa964 | patifa, what do you mean? | 07:22 |
| hawkeyex | ok. so I got the snapshot of vlc that I'd like to try, I already compileld it - but how do I run this thing? | 07:22 |
| biouser | the two live CDs that I made were terribly buggy | 07:22 |
| Starnestommy | hawkeyex: type "vlc" into the terminal | 07:23 |
| Enselic` | hawkeyex: install it | 07:23 |
| Enselic` | hawkeyex: then run it :) | 07:23 |
| biouser | My OpenGL was all kind of messed up after I upgraded from 7.10 | 07:23 |
| Enselic` | hawkeyex: sudo make install | 07:23 |
| patifa | Chipsa964: Each manufacturer is different. Some document their hardware better than others. Broadcom, for example, stinks, and Cisco/Linksys does a reasonable job at it. As such, my linksys wireless card works out of the box, and my friend's broadcom wireless card doesn't. | 07:23 |
| biouser | so, I have done upgrade and fresh install, and the upgrade was the only thing that cam close to working | 07:23 |
| Enselic` | hawkeyex: (if it uses Makefiles) | 07:23 |
| Kerpal2 | biouser, what did you do to fix it? | 07:24 |
| Chipsa964 | patifa, this is a microsoft one, so im guessing it isnt going to cooperate | 07:24 |
| biouser | Kerpal2: installed Dapper C:\ | 07:24 |
| patifa | LOL, chances are much lower there Chipsa964. | 07:24 |
| Chipsa964 | haha | 07:24 |
| biouser | so that I would at least have A os | 07:24 |
| Chipsa964 | im actually trying to get my brothers computer to run ubuntu | 07:24 |
| thechris | since i'm online, anyone know why /dev/ram doesn't exist when booting the liveCD? | 07:24 |
| Chipsa964 | but his internal wireless card is missing its antenna | 07:24 |

| Kerpal2 | I think I installed something in compviz that swapped out a library someplace. I'm going to uninstall compiz, the start criticisizing the opengl libs on my system | 07:25 |
| Chipsa964 | so its not picking up our wireless signal, and this usb thing wont work | 07:25 |
| Chipsa964 | so its not looking so great | 07:25 |
| biouser | oh well, I'll let you know in a while how upgrading from a fresh Dapper install to Hardy works out | 07:26 |
| bazhang | Kerpal2, that would seem likely legends seems to run very well--nothing on the forums about probs on 32 bit | 07:27 |

| joe2 | hi all, a wireless card that's detected but doesn't see any networks in Ubuntu or XP....sounds like hardware doesn't it? | 07:38 |

| thechris | eg, if you get an IP address? | 07:38 |
| joe2 | no, I can't see my network | 07:38 |

| thechris | or rather image of the livecd | 07:51 |

| Chrysalis | can i get links on software sources and recommended settings from whoever can work the bot pls, google is not cooperating | 07:52 |
| bazhang | thechris, there are ways around that-->unetbootin is the easiest imo | 07:53 |

| bazhang | Chrysalis, or at least the deb ones | 08:03 |
| Madpilot | Anyone know how to move Tomboy notes from one tomboy install to another? Just copying the files across doesn´t seem to work | 08:03 |
| biouser | mneptok: I think that when I upgraded to Hardy (... the first time... ) it said that support had ended for bitchx... I wanted to use bitchx to impress all of my terminal-crazy friends... | 08:03 |
| bazhang | Bodsda, hope you do--we really need the help :) | 08:03 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, ok dude -- ive ot nothin better to do today -- so im all yours ;~) | 08:03 |
| Chrysalis | bazhang: so check all under ubuntu updates? | 08:04 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, oh, ive got to finish re-writing the wiki bash page -- but nothin aprt from that | 08:04 |
| bazhang | Ayabara, there are others if you prefer | 08:04 |
| Bodsda | Chrysalis, theres no harm in enabling all the repo's | 08:04 |
| bazhang | Chrysalis, the security ones yes then refresh/reload and try to upgrade | 08:05 |
| raket | hey people how can I make to machines, Xubuntu and Kubuntu network? I'd like to have one folder on each machine that will be accessible by the other, and also writable too. | 08:05 |

| GeorgeA | My mounted hard disks show as: 750.2 GB Media (ext3, and that's what they show on desktop and in places, but in /media/ they have names) how can I change that name? | 08:05 |
| Bodsda | !nfs | raket | 08:05 |
| ubottu | raket: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 08:05 |
| bazhang | Ayabara, that is the choice of many though #ubuntu-bots is the best place to hold polls :) | 08:05 |
| raket | Bodsda: yes I was looking at that, but the writing is little bit overly technical for me | 08:06 |
| Bodsda | raket, tell me about it -- i think there might be a #nfs -- worth a look | 08:06 |
| GeorgeA | most times when i right click on the bottom panel and click close, compiz crashes, how can I fix that? | 08:06 |

| navetz | can I uninstall it | 08:18 |
| Starnestommy | joe_: yes | 08:18 |
| Madpilot | bazhang, I know that too - they´re XML files in .tomboy. The issue is getting the new install of tomboy to recognize the old notes when they´re copied into the new .tomboy | 08:19 |
| Flannel | navetz: does the makefile have a 'make uninstall'? | 08:19 |

| sudobash | xubuntu | 08:24 |
| Bodsda | Kris07, ok, try this killall pulseaudio | 08:24 |
| Ashkezar | please help me | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Ashkezar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11371/ put that in your sources.list | 08:25 |
| sudobash | ubuntu will run but xubuntu or Debian will run much quicker | 08:25 |

| Ashkezar | thanks | 08:25 |
| mshadle | why is PAM prompting me for "chsh" now when i am at root? i have the same pam config, same library versions, etc. as another box that has no issue | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Ashkezar: And that includes winehq already, so no need to do that again | 08:25 |
| bazhang | r0b, possible maybe but really fluxbuntu would be optimal | 08:25 |
| Starnestommy | umop: you may need to remove any invalid modelines from /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:26 |
| Bodsda | Flannel, you may want to stress -- 'replace' his with yours rather then add it | 08:26 |
| r0b | sudobash: thanks xp on it now runs really slow would ubuntu run better you think | 08:26 |
| sudobash | good call Flannel | 08:26 |
| Andycas | what screenlet showed cpu/ram usage etc? | 08:26 |
| Bodsda | r0b, yes | 08:26 |

| Ashkezar | i paste and i can not save file | 08:26 |
| sudobash | windows 2000 or Debian is what i would use on a p3 | 08:26 |
| Bodsda | Kris07, from a terminal | 08:26 |
| Olgem | r0b, xubuntu comes with most of the ubuntu management utilities, it just uses a liter window manager and the like | 08:26 |
| sudobash | or maybe TinyXP | 08:26 |
| umop | Starnestommy, ok, is it weird that Xubuntu handles it fine? Can i please pastebin my xorg for you to check out? | 08:26 |
| Kris08 | Bodsda, Nothing happened | 08:26 |
| Olgem | gnome* | 08:26 |
| Flannel | Ashkezar: alt-f2, then gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 08:26 |
| Olgem | r0b, I meant the GNOME management utilities | 08:26 |
| Bodsda | Kris07, no errors? good should be sorted now | 08:27 |
| Flannel | Ashkezar: and like Bodsda said, you're replacing that file, not adding to it. The paste should be the full contents | 08:27 |
| Starnestommy | umop: that seems a bit strange. I'm not very good with xorg config files | 08:27 |

| magnetron | hi! my computer crashed during the install of VLC, and now dpkg complains about a "damaged package". "sudo dpkg --configure -a" could not configure this particular package. what should i do? | 08:28 |
| Olgem | r0b, I'm running xubuntu on an 800mhz VIA C3 which is similar in performance to a 500mhz P3. It runs ok. | 08:28 |
| Bodsda | Kris07, u said your audio was fine | 08:28 |
| bazhang | Kris08, try setting from autodetect to alsa in sound prefs | 08:28 |
| umop | Starnestommy, hmm ok, might ask again later on thanks | 08:28 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, err -- dont mean to prove you wrong or anything but if pulseaudio isnt running then alsa is autodetected | 08:29 |
| bazhang | Bodsda, prove me wrong please :) I know zero about sound | 08:29 |
| Kris08 | Nevermind. It's working now. | 08:29 |
| Yaitane1 | Hello, when i want to do a chroot, what do I am supposed to mount? /dev, /sys and /proc? | 08:29 |
| vato | i installed ubuntu tonight for some reason it didnt ask for a root password.. how the hell am i supposed to su? | 08:29 |
| bazhang | vato sudo | 08:29 |
| magnetron | vato: use sudo | 08:29 |
| Flannel | vato: you dont. Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, use sudo instead. | 08:29 |
| r0b | Olgem: im comfortable with xfce but this would be going on my parents so i would think gnome would be easier | 08:29 |
| sudobash | yes use me | 08:30 |
| vato | thanks | 08:30 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, hahaha -- a lesson on sound in hardy is what you ask for -- my lesson is sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio why did they ditch alsa -- it worked | 08:30 |
| magnetron | vato: if you want a root shell, use sudo -s or sudo -i | 08:30 |
| bazhang | sudobash, :) | 08:30 |

| Bodsda | kripz, that would need to be a bash script -- you can download them from gnome-look or write your own | 08:32 |
| mshadle | when i do "chsh -s /bin/bash root" i get a password prompt. why is pam prompting me now? | 08:32 |
| kripz | ok thanks | 08:32 |
| sudobash | bash scripting is very simple | 08:32 |
| Y-Town | Bodsda: you mean the -- after pastbinit? | 08:32 |
| Andycas | what screenlet showed me cpu/ram usage? It was themed in white circles... | 08:32 |
| sudobash | but powerful | 08:32 |
| Bodsda | kripz, the simple script would use this command gnome-terminal pwd | 08:33 |
| Olgem | r0b, yes, but xubuntu has been configured so it acts and looks just like gnome, and has all of the gnome utilities so that its basically identical in usage | 08:33 |
| bazhang | Andycas, does screenlets.org not have any info? | 08:33 |
| Kris08 | Bodsda, Thanks and good night. | 08:33 |
| Bodsda | Y-Town, check the man page -- you can set default pastebin sites | 08:33 |
| Andycas | bazhang: Cant find that one... | 08:33 |
| Bodsda | Kris07, night | 08:33 |
| Flannel | kripz: You want to do it through nautilus? like, right click and open a terminal here sort of thing? | 08:33 |
| Yaitane1 | someone has an idea for the chroot? | 08:33 |
| kripz | DW guys, figured it out | 08:33 |
| Bodsda | !yay | 08:34 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 08:34 |
| Flannel | kripz: if that's the case, install nautilus-open-terminal | 08:34 |

| ompaul | hzy, na - you would be better off in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:37 |
| Bodsda | uncontrol, all stored data from a live session is deleted as soon as you shutdown -- and the web browser is just as secure as it would be on a fully installed/configured system -- nothing to worry about | 08:37 |
| raddy | It remarkable, tremendous | 08:37 |

| Juzzy` | bazhang, I want my panels back | 08:46 |
| Bodsda | Tobias92, that would be very tedius and pointless -- why not just boot into sinle user mode -- no gui there | 08:47 |
| bazhang | Juzzy`, no, but to eliminate other error vectors need to test | 08:47 |
| Juzzy` | I can't test without the gnome panel to hit applications | 08:47 |

| keram | Juzzy`, then try resetting it again | 08:48 |
| Bodsda | Juzzy`, do you have a terminal? | 08:48 |

| Milo | nasper you will probly have to do what i did for my ivideo card to work i have to get the bionary soruce and compile it my self from ivideo.com | 09:34 |
| Starnestommy | MrBogie: you would need to find out where it's mounted. I think removable disks are usually mounted to /media/disk by default | 09:34 |
| Milo | blah i mean nvideo.com | 09:34 |
| vegombrei | i recently installed it and it just wouldnt run .. so i ran it thru the terminal window and it showed some errors there .. so i paste it in paste bin and here's the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/11369/ please help me fix this issue as im new to unix and ubuntu and dont really know what to do | 09:34 |
| MrBogie | Starnestommy: i'll try it out. i'm running win xp for now. thanks for now. | 09:35 |
| MightyTweek | MrBogie: when you plug in a removable drive, the icon will just show up on your desktop and in your Places menu | 09:36 |

| vegombrei | Starnestommy: never tried that ... hold on a sec lemme try it | 09:36 |
| napster | well i downloaded a driver from nvidia.com. on running it gives the error that "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. | 09:36 |
| napster | Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file." | 09:36 |
| Milo | you will probly have to edit the bionary to match your card :P | 09:37 |
| vegombrei | Starnestommy: it says can't create mcop directory and then quits | 09:38 |
| napster | aaarrrhhhh. new to linux. can any1 plz help . | 09:38 |
| MightyTweek | napster: you shouldn't have to download the driver from nvidia's site, Ubuntu's hardware manager should prompt you about using a restricted driver | 09:38 |
| MightyTweek | about the resolution, give me one sec | 09:38 |

| vegombrei | Starnestommy: yeah ive asked many to help but nobody could solve this problem | 09:41 |
| Starnestommy | Tedius: it's probably due to your DNS servers being slow | 09:41 |
| Starnestommy | vegombrei: does ~/.mcop exist? | 09:41 |

| Starnestommy | Jafet: er, sudo aptitude reinstall gdm | 09:44 |
| vegombrei | Starnestommy: should i just copy and paste that line ? | 09:44 |
| Starnestommy | vegombrei: mkdir /tmp/ksocket-$USER | 09:45 |
| Jafet | Starnestommy, alright. | 09:45 |

| MightyTweek | franzrebs: sorry, missed that part. If you've tried to uninstall and it's not removing it, you might need to try creating a new Firefox profile | 09:48 |
| franzrebs | the del.icio.us toolbar was still there last night.. | 09:48 |
| franzrebs | okay how do i do that? | 09:48 |
| Becker_11 | sa125: have you tried sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal? how long does that take? | 09:48 |
| philip_ | MightyTweek: no error message | 09:48 |
| Drakoi | Thanks Starnestommy, I'll check there since it's more topic specific. | 09:49 |
| Almindor | the virtualbox-modules package still depends on linux-image..-16 | 09:49 |

| Dvyjones | My bcm43xx card stopped working and now I can see netowrks, but I can't connect to them. Tell me if you need some output from a terminal command / syslog | 10:05 |
| napster | MightyTweek: ddcprobe command not found. plz send only the command once again | 10:05 |

| stefg | mastranzio: try another player to double check, i.e. mplayer or vlc and set the output to alsa | 10:06 |
| _Dbug_ | ubottu, in the general tab I see that 127.0.01 is on local host, and 127.0.1.1 is on what I see when I use the console "mike@mike-laptop" | 10:06 |
| ubottu | _Dbug_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:06 |
| stefg | mastranzio: i think you got trouble with pulse | 10:06 |
| MightyTweek | napster: run "ddcprobe" by itself, it will tell you to run "sudo apt-get" and the name of the package to install, sorry I can't remember it offhand | 10:06 |

| ubottu | mastranzio: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:08 |

| mastranzio | stefg: ok thanks | 10:09 |
| tadzhikaz | but on ubuntu 8 do not work* | 10:09 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | run fixmbr? | 10:09 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | what's that? | 10:09 |
| Jafet | It, erm, "fixes" your MBR so that you can boot into Windows. | 10:10 |
| MightyTweek | DS: If you boot off the windows CD it should give you the option to run a command prompt | 10:10 |
| stefg | _Dbug_: a.) sudo is your friend b.) only check first if they are the same | 10:10 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | using windows installer disc? | 10:10 |
| MightyTweek | DS: yes | 10:10 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | is there a way to do it w/out the disc? | 10:10 |
| _Dbug_ | stefg, that's my problem, I cannot SUDO at all, it complains about it: "mike@mike-laptop:~$ sudo sudo: unable to resolve host mike-laptop" | 10:10 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | i'm currently running windows right now | 10:10 |
| Dvyjones | My bcm43xx card stopped working and now I can see netowrks, but I can't connect to them. Tell me if you need some output from a terminal command / syslog | 10:10 |
| [DS]DragonSlayer | i couldn't log into my ubuntu because there's some error it can't be boot up | 10:11 |
| stefg | _Dbug_: ah, i understand... so you have to boot to recovery mode (which will take you to a root console) | 10:11 |
| _Dbug_ | stefg, ok, and what should I do there ? | 10:11 |
| napster | MightyTweek: ok i got the package xresprobe. now i didn't understand the monitorrange command. plz repeat it. | 10:11 |
| lwizardl | can someone help me with getting my video capture cards working in ubuntu | 10:12 |
| MightyTweek | napster: "sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange" | 10:12 |

| napster | MightyTweek: k | 10:12 |
| sabgenton | what if i want it to be udf | 10:12 |
| stefg | _Dbug_: 'cat /etc/hosts' and 'cat /etc/hostname' check if it's the same. if not 'nano /etc/<wrongfile>' and correct the situation | 10:12 |
| sabgenton | ? | 10:12 |
| Jafet | [DS], fdisk /mbr may also work. | 10:13 |

| MightyTweek | napster: that means that Ubuntu can't automatically detect your monitor's capabilities. The only way to get the higher frequencies is to check the owner's manual or search the web and find out what it's frequency ranges are and edit the xorg.conf file manually | 10:15 |

| MightyTweek | MrBogie: yes | 10:19 |

| MrBogie | MightyTweek: :) | 10:19 |
| MightyTweek | MrBogie: I figured you would be able to dowload the packages on the computer you're renting, burn the cd and bring it home. No? | 10:20 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: is there any way to download ubuntu packages manually? | 10:20 |
| napster | MightyTweek: so wat changes to make | 10:20 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: okay. that clears me. thanks... | 10:20 |
| _0xf001 | Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me, here is the situation... ive downloaded and burnt ubuntu hardy 3 times now and try to install and each time it hangs when installin packages, i dont think that the problem is with the isos but with my pos cdrom itself, is there another way i can go about install, ie copy to harddisk or somthing? | 10:20 |
| rutgermasi | try the alternate cd | 10:21 |
| baz_ | hey. i just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, which is my first experience with a non-windows os, and I am find it a little less snappy on my machine than xp was. It doesn't seem like it should be the case because linux is so much smaller and more efficient. what can i look into? | 10:21 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: by the way, i'm running winXP for now. APTonCD runs on linux right? | 10:21 |
| napster | MightyTweek: what i have to do now | 10:22 |
| MightyTweek | napster: you will add two lines between 'Section "Monitor"' and 'EndSection'. The first is "HorizSync 30-97" and the second is "VertRefresh 50-180" | 10:22 |
| becker_11 | baz_: apart from gnome which is a lot better I think 7.10 was faster on my laptop than 8.04 is | 10:22 |
| MightyTweek | MrBogie: I'm not sure | 10:23 |
| _0xf001 | anyone have any suggestions? | 10:24 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: i've seen the tutorial, it runs on linux. hehe. | 10:24 |
| clutchAbuse | how do i configure my mailserver to accept and deliver outgoing mails to other domains (ubuntu 7.10) ? | 10:24 |
| MightyTweek | _0xf001: have you tried running the CD test from the initial screen that appears when you boot from the CD? | 10:25 |
| _0xf001 | yeah | 10:25 |
| _0xf001 | it says that its good | 10:25 |
| _0xf001 | its weird | 10:25 |
| rutgermasi | i think it's yur internet | 10:25 |
| rutgermasi | do not select a network mirror | 10:25 |
| _0xf001 | i also ran the isos with vmware | 10:25 |
| _0xf001 | and they worked fine | 10:25 |
| MightyTweek | _0xf001: and did that work? | 10:25 |
| _0xf001 | but it wont install on my computer it sounds like the cdrom is spinning | 10:26 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: thanks anyway. i'll try to figure it out on my own. seems your busy. hahaha. | 10:26 |
| MrBogie | lol | 10:26 |
| MightyTweek | MrBogie: is there just a couple packages in particular you're wanting to download? | 10:26 |

| _0xf001 | no i tried it in rescue mode | 10:27 |
| _0xf001 | and it froze | 10:27 |
| MightyTweek | napster: no. Refer to the link I sent you, it's a bit clearer about how it should look. | 10:27 |

| FloodBot3 | _0xf001: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:28 |
| rutgermasi | alternate should work | 10:28 |
| napster | MightyTweek: wat to type in identifier | 10:28 |
| Starnestommy | _0xf001: the alternate is just an installer. The dekstop one is a live cd | 10:28 |
| Starnestommy | *desktop | 10:28 |
| _0xf001 | Sorry, alternate is hanging on 6% every time for me. | 10:28 |
| Y-Town | anyone know why "knotify" is launched everytime I load "konversation" on ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| MightyTweek | napster: just leave that line as it was | 10:29 |
| Ayabara | Conky shows me Xorg at 50%. Anything clever I can do to debug this in more detail? | 10:29 |
| _0xf001 | 3 times in a row hangs on 6%. | 10:29 |
| znalo | does anyone know where one should install client certificates, private keys and CA root certs for the purpose of apt-transport-https ? | 10:29 |
| MightyTweek | _0xf001: what kind of computer are you installing it on? | 10:29 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: do you know what is the latest version for build-essential? | 10:29 |
| stefg | Y-Town: better ask #kubuntu. My guess is that it's a daemon needed fpr konversation to play , well, notify sounds | 10:29 |
| Starnestommy | Y-Town: I think it might be the part of KDE that manages the tray/notification areas | 10:29 |

| wathek | what's the default path of the system icons ? | 10:31 |
| _0xf001 | i just wanna get ubuntu on this box :( | 10:31 |

| Dvyjones | My bcm43xx card stopped working and now I can see netowrks, but I can't connect to them. Tell me if you need some output from a terminal command / syslog | 10:31 |

| faileas | gah | 10:32 |
| rutgermasi | Dvyjones: same problem here on 8.04 | 10:32 |
| MightyTweek | _0xf001: I'm wondering if maybe you need to try a switch like noacpi or something | 10:32 |
| faileas | i hate it when i get on IRC with a problem and it fixed itself ;p | 10:32 |
| MrBogie | MightyTweek: okay, i understand it. haha. i'll have to try that on my own. thanks a lot... | 10:32 |
| wathek | where are placed the icones that Ubuntu uses ? | 10:32 |
| thiebaude | faileas:lol | 10:32 |
| napster | MightyTweek: You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. | 10:32 |
| Starnestommy | wathek: /usr/share/pixmaps/ and /usr/share/icons/ contain most of them | 10:32 |
| MightyTweek | napster: once you've saved the file, close all your open apps and press ctrl-alt-backspace, you'll be prompted to log in again, then try changing the screen resoltuion from the system menu | 10:33 |
| wathek | ah ok Starnestommy thanx | 10:33 |
| stefg | wathek: /usr/share/icons or ~/.icons | 10:33 |
| _0xf001 | maybe its because im using nero to burn the .iso?s | 10:33 |
| _0xf001 | is there a beter application? | 10:33 |
| Zen-Dreamer | hi! | 10:33 |
| rutgermasi | try burn the .iso slower | 10:33 |

| faileas | akatsuki: opera is great | 10:34 |
| Starnestommy | akatsuki: epiphany, opera, or konqueror | 10:34 |
| MightyTweek | napster: you need to be super user to edit the file... use this command: "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (without the quotes) | 10:34 |
| Darkside | theres a confurmed bug, but nothing has been done about it | 10:34 |

| akatsuki | opera then? | 10:34 |
| akatsuki | its cool? | 10:34 |
| Dvyjones | _0xf001: Burn them at slowst possble speed, that worked for me | 10:34 |
| thiebaude | akatsuki:i dont either | 10:34 |
| Darkside | stefg, you'd think so, wouldn't you, but it works fine in gutsy, but not in hardy | 10:34 |
| nuno_nunes | HI PPL | 10:35 |
| thiebaude | hi nuno | 10:35 |
| livingdaylight | sound is kaput in Hardy... i put vlc on pause and when i came back there is no more sound... even after rebooting | 10:35 |
| rutgermasi | livingdaylight: Try system->preferences->sound | 10:35 |
| akatsuki | i will try it.. what about epiphany? | 10:35 |
| Dr_willis | I dont suppose anyone has seen a 'flash downloader extension' that works with cbs.com ? I cant seem to get the few i find to work with cbs.com | 10:35 |
| MightyTweek | _0xf001: if the CD test passed, chances are it's not a problem with the CD | 10:35 |
| livingdaylight | rutgermasi, whaqt do i try there... i went there and hit 'test' but it didnt' work either | 10:35 |
| root__ | i have only little question: what command can show me working programs etc, and id of them? | 10:35 |
| Starnestommy | root__: ps aux | 10:36 |
| root__ | i have only terminal now | 10:36 |
| stefg | livingdaylight: select alsa output for vlc, not automatic. This will bypass this half broken pulse crap | 10:36 |
| root__ | thx | 10:36 |
| rutgermasi | root__: "top" will work also | 10:36 |
| ljsoftnet | is there a way to start OpenArena with specified screen resolution? | 10:36 |
| wathek | how can I change the icon for a specific file type ? | 10:36 |
| kelvin911 | hi my icons is screw up | 10:36 |
| rutgermasi | livingdaylight: Try others like ALSA | 10:36 |
| MrBogie | how to run a .deb file on a console? | 10:36 |
| Dr_willis | ljsoftnet, if it supports the command line like other id games - theres poberly 100000+ command line options you can set. or you could edit its config features | 10:36 |
| rutgermasi | MrBogie: dpkg -i file.dev | 10:37 |
| napster | MightyTweek: ok i m loggin off. i'll try | 10:37 |
| Starnestommy | MrBogie: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb | 10:37 |
| stefg | !apt | MrBogie | 10:37 |
| ubottu | MrBogie: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 10:37 |
| MrBogie | thanks | 10:37 |
| napster | MightyTweek: thanx | 10:37 |
| kelvin911 | when i am in KDE app my mouse appears the one i pick in appearance but when it is in gnome app, it is white? | 10:37 |
| hfswork | stefg, if he has a standalone deb file, he'll have to use dpkg, not apt. | 10:37 |
| livingdaylight | stefg, | rutgermasi ok, i see everything was set to autodetect... this is pulse crap... i didn't know, so select alsa, yes? | 10:37 |
| Darkside | ugh, is there a support channel for people who aren't n00bs? | 10:37 |
| Darkside | :) | 10:38 |
| ljsoftnet | Dr_willis i don't know what you mean by "or you could edit its config features"? | 10:38 |
| stefg | hfswork: yup, but the link also mentions that | 10:38 |
| Dvyjones | My bcm4306 card doesn't work anymore, it discovers all networks, but it can't connect to them. I am using Ubuntu 8.04. syslog often prints the message: "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change". Any idea how to fix it? | 10:38 |
| bashca | Hello. I've recently installed Ubuntu 8.04, and can't get layout switching to work. | 10:38 |
| wathek | for exemple for the flv files I want to have the icon of a video and not an application | 10:38 |
| wathek | how could I set that ? | 10:38 |
| elkbuntu | Darkside, if you have to ask, then it's not the place for you. | 10:38 |
| stefg | livingdaylight: right.. then save and restrt vlc to take the change to effect | 10:38 |
| _Dbug_ | stefg, worked fine thanks. Found out that the problem was that when I tried to get my linux in a network with my windows, I defined a "work group". It's strange that this makes SUDO break (without any warning). And the update manager froze because of that, could not get access to the sudo user, but not error message. | 10:38 |
| Darkside | elkbuntu, hah... well the thing is, i know the problem i | 10:38 |
| kane77 | Dvyjones, I have often the same problem... | 10:38 |
| Darkside | argh | 10:38 |
| Darkside | i know the problem i'm having, but i am prepared to work to fix it | 10:39 |
| Dr_willis | ljsoftnet, all id games (and i am guessing the free vaiants, have text based config files in the users home with all the default settings) | 10:39 |
| Darkside | i wouldn't mind talking to the ubuntu ACPI team | 10:39 |
| thiebaude | darkside:if you have a problem we will try to help | 10:39 |
| Dvyjones | kane77 Often? Does that mean it works sometimes? | 10:39 |
| Darkside | i want to find out what changed in ubuntus ACPI support between gutsy and hardy | 10:39 |
| faileas | Darkside: I think ACPI is kernel so... | 10:39 |
| thiebaude | darkside:im a noob myself | 10:39 |
| ljsoftnet | Dr_willis where can i find those files, can you give me an example? | 10:39 |
| Darkside | yeah, im thinking of rolling a new kernel | 10:39 |
| Darkside | using 2.6.25 | 10:40 |
| faileas | its probably in the kernel changelogs between the versions they used | 10:40 |
| Dr_willis | ljsoftnet, after running the game. Look in the users home dir for new .SOMTHING dirs | 10:40 |
| faileas | Darkside: how do you do that anyway? | 10:40 |
| stefg | Darkside: that only works by doing a bug report on launchpad... the ubuntu-dev's are to clever to show up in here :-) | 10:40 |
| kane77 | Dvyjones, I have not yet found out when it works and when not, but for instance I am able to connect to open networks at school... | 10:40 |
| livingdaylight | stefg, no joy | 10:40 |
| Dvyjones | kane77: I can't conect to any networks, open or secured :( | 10:40 |
| kane77 | Dvyjones, in my case that started happening after upgrading, before I was using ndiswrapper which now doesn't seem to work | 10:40 |
| jimcooncat | Running gutsy, I can't set my box to a static IP. anyplace I can go for tips on this? | 10:41 |
| stefg | livingdaylight: check alsamixer if all levels are set (not to 0) | 10:41 |
| kelvin911 | but when i move the mouse over to the KDE app like k3b or opera i get the right black mouse pointer | 10:41 |
| negge | jimcooncat right-click the network icon and click manual configuration | 10:42 |
| nathan | I think i have a problem with Ubuntu. When i open it all up, the screen is HUGE and dosent fit on my screen. | 10:43 |

| JM | Anyone know of a resolve with disabling the sata emulation over IDE? Bought a blade server with IDE drives (a little old) but so far OpenSuse and Ubunto are both locking up on boot when detecting the drives. | 10:44 |
| stefg | !intelhda | livingdaylight | 10:44 |
| ubottu | livingdaylight: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 10:44 |
| jimcooncat | negge: yes, did that. I entered 192.268.2.2, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.2.1, restarted eth0, but then couldn't find the router (which is 192.168.2.1). | 10:45 |
| nathan | I need some help, how do i change the logon screen size? | 10:45 |
| livingdaylight | stefg, what do you mean by alsamixer levels set not to 0 ? | 10:45 |
| stefg | livingdaylight: just check that your sound is not muted | 10:45 |
| livingdaylight | stefg, oh, no of course it isn't | 10:45 |
| livingdaylight | all i did was put vlc on pause and its broken my sound in ubuntu, geez | 10:46 |
| philip_ | MightyTweek: question? i tried to connect my ubuntu in the windows domain 2003 server but why i can't see the shared folders from my domain? | 10:46 |
| jimcooncat | negge: should I try a full reboot after? | 10:46 |
| negge | jimcooncat yeah I've never managed to set up a static IP either, seems like I'm not the only one | 10:46 |
| philip_ | is there any settings that i need to configure im my ubuntu 8.04? | 10:46 |
| negge | jimcooncat you could always try but in my case it didn't work. I'm not really sure what else you have to do, I think you have to configure your router too | 10:46 |
| stefg | livingdaylight: check for zombie instances of vlc and kill them, they might still hog the soundcard | 10:46 |

| MrBogie | what package to be installed to play mp3 files? | 10:47 |
| Dr_willis | jm i think you want to search for the 'libata' stuff on the forums. I belive theres a kernel boot option to disable it. but ive never needed it. | 10:47 |
| negge | philip_ depends on what you're trying to do | 10:47 |
| philip_ | anyone can suggest? | 10:47 |
| bashca | Keyboard layout switching doesn't work after reboot???!!! no one can help here ?? | 10:47 |
| livingdaylight | stefg, even after a clean reboot? | 10:47 |
| negge | MrBogie ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:47 |
| stefg | livingdaylight: err.... no | 10:47 |
| livingdaylight | :/ | 10:47 |
| philip_ | negge: im just browsing my domain to see the shared folders but its not showing up | 10:47 |
| MrBogie | negge: thanks | 10:48 |
| JM | I have tried hwprobe=-modules.pata and even done brokenmodules=ata_piix but it doesn't seem to ignore either. | 10:48 |
| negge | philip_ do you use samba or nfs? | 10:48 |
| Y-Town | anyone know why flash doesnt work in opera but does in firefox? | 10:48 |
| jimcooncat | negge: it's strange, I don't have this problem with fiesty at work | 10:48 |
| hackel | Is there any way to get a VPN (PPTP or other) connection through an HTTP/Socks proxy or SSH tunnel? | 10:48 |
| morteng | is it a small risk for destroying my grub if I append ubuntu to solaris as a multiboot? | 10:48 |
| negge | jimcooncat yeah it's weird indeed | 10:48 |
| philip_ | in my ubuntu i manage to install samba | 10:48 |
| negge | morteng even if grub gets messed up you can reconfigure it from a livecd in case anything goes wrong | 10:49 |
| philip_ | does nfs required to install to see my shared folders in my domain controller> | 10:49 |
| negge | philip_ okay I've only used NFS for filesharing so I don't think I can help you | 10:49 |
| negge | philip_ are you trying to share between different linux machines or are there windows machines on the network toO? if so you'll have to use samba | 10:49 |
| philip_ | negge: ic thanks | 10:49 |
| Dr_willis | NFS is not related to samba at all.. except for that it does a similer task. | 10:50 |
| matty3269 | Can anyone help me, I have Installed ubuntu onto a laptop with a USB stick in whilst it was installing. Now when I boot up I have to plug the USB stick in so that it boots, otherwise GRUB will throw up an error?? | 10:50 |
| |Kit| | I heard NFS is less secure | 10:50 |
| jdj | hi do all | 10:51 |
| negge | |Kit| does security really matter when you're sharing files on a private network? | 10:51 |
| jftsang | Hello, on Ubuntu (Gutsy) how do I disable "Roaming mode"? I've tried it, using a static IP instead, and it refuses to connect to the router. (IP 192.168.2.3, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.2.1 failed to connect, but would on my Windows computer.) | 10:51 |
| philip_ | negge: ok heres what im doing right now, my ubuntu was already joined in the windows 2003 domain controller and im browsing my network and my domain server name was there, i'm trying to access my domain to see my shared folders but i can't see it. | 10:51 |
| negge | matty3269 check grubs boot commands, sounds like it's trying to boot from the wrong device or something | 10:51 |
| Dr_willis | |Kit|, you would not want to have samba shares over the wild internet either. | 10:51 |
| jdj | i m running on ubuntu gusty gisbon | 10:52 |
| MrBogie | does anybody knows when will packages.ubuntu.com be up? | 10:52 |
| raspouille | slt... | 10:52 |
| philip_ | negge: i'm browsing my domain in my linus machine which is ubuntu but i can't see the shared folders that i created in my domain | 10:52 |
| matty3269 | negge, yeah i was thinking that myself, however when i look at the boot.lst file it all looks fine. Is there a way to re-install grub without reinstalling ubuntu? | 10:53 |
| jdj | hi raspouille | 10:53 |
| negge | philip_ okay, like I said I've never used Samba | 10:53 |

| negge | I don't know if that's a good idea | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogie, you mean links to download it? | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogie, its a metapckage - it just grabs other packages | 11:05 |
| MrBogie | i'm currently running winXP | 11:06 |
| negge | aah I see | 11:06 |
| MrBogie | Dr_willis: yes, links to download it | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogie, wont do any good. :) its just a meta package. you install it and it will depend on several other packages that will get installed with it. | 11:06 |
| negge | MrBogie http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/u/ubuntu-restricted-extras/ | 11:06 |

| zyx386 | can every one answer me "Who is unixtime format in Hardy?" | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogie, yes. Itgs just a tiny package that depends on others.. It has no real data in it. other then what it 'brings in' when you install it. | 11:10 |
| flemnos | jdj: ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | 11:10 |
| MrBogie | ok, so is there any links for ubuntu packages? | 11:10 |
| negge | MrBogie this article is a bit old but it explains which packages are included in the restricted extras: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/ubuntu-restricted-extras-all-that-extra-stuff-all-in-one-place/ | 11:11 |
| zyx386 | can every one answer me "Who is unixtime format in Hardy?" | 11:11 |

| Vistauser | hi! I just installed xubuntu and it is my first linux install in some years, I am really impressed with the way it works.... but like before I am now online with my windows computer asking for support, the problem is: after I disconnect in xubuntu and try to reconnect by right clicking on the network icon a blue circle starts moving but the connection to the internet is not reestablished...... | 11:18 |
| Vistauser | ...I have connected my xubuntu box to the internet through my adsl router... why can't I reconnect? | 11:18 |
| Starnestommy | zainerkin: change the "default" setting that's around line 14 to the number of XP | 11:18 |
| jdj | ok thx leave it | 11:19 |

| Starnestommy | zyx386: Day Month Year HH:MM:SS Time-Zone Year? | 11:20 |

| Starnestommy | zyx386: is that what you wanted to know? | 11:21 |
| rutgermasi | Vistauser: Rebooted? | 11:21 |
| Vistauser | the blue circle keeps turning on the network icon, but I can't read webpages anymore | 11:21 |
| Gimbli | Vistauser: wireless lan? | 11:21 |

| lowlux | on 8.04? | 11:29 |
| Gimbli | Vistauser: otherwise we can also try to set a static ip for your network. but i do not know, whether some configuration tool might overwrite it | 11:30 |
| franzrebs | ak5 it says no process killed | 11:30 |
| Vistauser | i am runngin the dhclient thing.. maybe it was not included in the install because I skipped the configuration of the network.. but there is unfortunately no way to configure it once xubuntu is installed | 11:30 |
| rutgermasi | franzrebs: try reinstall firefox | 11:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | franzrebs: there has tob e a firefox process running to ge3t that error... | 11:31 |
| franzrebs | IndyGunFreak i see no firefox process | 11:31 |
| ak5 | franzrebs, then it should start :/ | 11:31 |
| Gimbli | do you get an ip, when you are running it? | 11:31 |

| Vistauser | ah that was it ifconfig! | 11:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | mathrick: i guess depending on your device, its there.. i have it. | 11:32 |
| ak5 | Vistauser, for wireless: iwconfig | 11:32 |
| franzrebs | it still wont start, and im using firefox 2 | 11:32 |

| Vistauser | hmmm... using ifconfig does show me both eth1 and eth0 are configured.. but somehow nothing goes... | 11:33 |
| rutgermasi | franzrebs: start up synaptic package manager and reinstall firefox | 11:33 |
| mathrick | IndyGunFreak: yes | 11:33 |
| Vistauser | maybe the routing is not configured correctly | 11:33 |
| franzrebs | okay | 11:33 |
| rutgermasi | ak5: system->prefs->sound? | 11:33 |
| Gimbli | Vistauser: have you already tried to ping a public ip? | 11:33 |

| manoff | Dr_willis: ah yes sorry | 11:35 |
| Vistauser | urneacable | 11:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | ljsoftnet: double click them | 11:35 |

| ljsoftnet | ok | 11:36 |
| rutgermasi | ak5: I haven't a solution, try the ubuntu forums | 11:36 |
| franzrebs | so far in my one day of experience with xubuntu, firefox is the biggest headache | 11:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | i believe it is data though, not 100% sure. | 11:36 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, I did, but thx! | 11:36 |
| manoff | Dr_willis: yes it works, thank you for teaching me more linux | 11:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | franzrebs: are you sure you're using FF2? | 11:36 |
| franzrebs | yes i am | 11:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | franzrebs: don't know, try seamonkey.. i have no issues w/ it.. | 11:37 |
| franzrebs | okay, im done reinstalling it in synaptic, but i still get the same error | 11:37 |
| Dr_willis | manoff, this is rather basic linux stuff.. :) you may want to go do some reading. be sure to UNMOUNT the device with umount /media/whatever befor removing it | 11:37 |
| manoff | Dr_willis: could you also tell me that why might this device called sdb and not usb? | 11:37 |
| manoff | Dr_willis: yes i will | 11:37 |
| Ipkaf | hi | 11:37 |
| SebastianMcK | Sorry to bother you guys but ive forgotten my username and password for ubuntu | 11:37 |
| Ipkaf | hi | 11:37 |
| Vistauser | the netowrk/interfaces file is empty.. it only says auto lo iface lo inet loopback | 11:37 |
| franzrebs | does seamonkey have a del.icio.us addon? because that's the main reason i use firefox | 11:37 |
| Ipkaf | how to cancel this command ??? | 11:37 |
| rutgermasi | franzrebs: also try opera, have you completely removed firefox? and also try to install older/newer version of firefox | 11:37 |
| FloodBot1 | Ipkaf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:37 |
| Starnestommy | Ipkaf: which command? | 11:38 |
| Dr_willis | manoff, why would it be called usb at all? sdb = scsci drive b. :) sda = scsi drive a. | 11:38 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, lol it does work - it is just increasing/decreasing the volume by incredibly small increments | 11:38 |
| Ipkaf | sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT | 11:38 |
| rutgermasi | Ipkaf: ctrl+c | 11:38 |
| Gimbli | Vistauser: For eth1 it shoudl be something like this: | 11:38 |
| manoff | Dr_willis: aha ok i see | 11:38 |
| Dr_willis | manoff, what if i plugged in all 10 of my USB thumbdrives at once? :) | 11:38 |
| Gimbli | auto eth1 | 11:38 |
| franzrebs | i chose the mark for reinstallation option. i'll try to completely remove it now | 11:38 |
| Ipkaf | not ctrl c | 11:38 |
| Gimbli | iface eth0 inet static | 11:38 |
| Gimbli | (eth1 of course in your case ;) | 11:38 |
| Starnestommy | Ipkaf: sudo iptables -D FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT | 11:38 |
| Gimbli | address <local ip> | 11:38 |

| tadzhikaz | can anyone help me? i have wifi card ATHEROS AR5007EG. on ubuntu 7 it worked, but on ubuntu 8.04, it do not want to work. i installed driver madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz and i used this manual http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662877 . now i can see wireless networks, but i can not connect to them... | 11:39 |

| Ipkaf | merci | 11:39 |
| faileas | both username and password? | 11:39 |
| SebastianMcK | faileas yeah | 11:39 |
| Starnestommy | SebastianMcK: go into recovery mode and check /etc/passwd for your username, then set the password with "passwd username" | 11:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | tadzhikaz: i used a madwifi patch for that device under 8.04.., but if you can see networks, i dn't know why you couldn't log in to them | 11:40 |
| ak5 | Does anyone know how to increase the increments my sound goes up/down by when I press my vol+ / vol- keyboard keys? | 11:40 |
| SebastianMcK | iStarnestommy: dont really get what you mean? how do i check it and do i get into recovery mode by the grub menu? im really sorry to be a bother | 11:40 |
| LazyAngel | there should be a dpkg-reconfig similar command to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. But what is it? i cant remember :( | 11:41 |
| mathrick | SebastianMcK: don't apologise so much, no-one minds | 11:41 |
| tadzhikaz | IndyGunFreak, in site write, that madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz is patched... | 11:41 |
| Vistauser | I'll just try to reinstall | 11:41 |
| mathrick | SebastianMcK: recovery mode is accessed via grub, yes | 11:41 |
| Starnestommy | SebastianMcK: there's a recovery mode option in the grub menu. To check /etc/passwd, run "nano /etc/passwd" | 11:41 |
| Vistauser | somehow the dhcp server and configuration for the network cards cannot be added using a tool in xubuntu.. only during the install!!!! | 11:42 |
| SebastianMcK | Starnestommy: alright ill go and see if it works | 11:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | tadzhikaz: don't know, i patched it myself, and it works fine... on it now actually, in hardy | 11:42 |

| ubottu | Nikunj93: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 11:52 |
| franzrebs | okay thanks | 11:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | tadzhikaz: cd to the directory, sudo make uninstall (i think) | 11:52 |
| Nikunj93 | when ever i open any image in browser i see images very hazy | 11:52 |
| battlesquid | how can i change the timezone of my ubuntu server - remotely ? i have ssh access. date says my timezone is CEST=GMT+2 ( i am in CST = GMT+1) and tzconfig says my timezone is Europe/Oslo=GMT+1 which is correct. however i need date to be correct as well as i have some scripts relying on it. | 11:53 |
| Nikunj93 | the thing what happens to images when we enlarge them a lot | 11:53 |
| rutgermasi | tzconfig | 11:53 |

| Nikunj93 | no nothing about it | 11:54 |
| SouseMouse | I connected a generic USB-to-serial adapter. Now several of my USB ports don't work. Rebooting doesn't help, once Gutsy boots my hub goes dead. Is there something saving USB config data? | 11:54 |
| ak5 | Nikunj93, its like in real life - don't shout at the people who help you for free | 11:54 |
| Nikunj93 | ok sir | 11:55 |
| Nikunj93 | chill | 11:55 |
| Vistauser | rutgermasi: I am now reinstalling and it says the network autoconfiguration failed, it suggets it is because some network hardware is not working properly which is bogus because my windows box connects fine using my dsl router | 11:55 |
| Nikunj93 | and also please help me :) | 11:55 |
| Gimbli | ak5: as you will understand it and i did not find anyhting else: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/111033/next/ | 11:55 |

| Nikunj93 | so what to do ak5 | 11:56 |
| Nikunj93 | now? | 11:56 |
| rutgermasi | Vistauser: what about manually configuring the network? | 11:56 |

| Nikunj93 | image is hazy in firefox | 11:56 |
| Nikunj93 | anyone please help | 11:56 |
| battlesquid | flemnos yes | 11:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nikunj93: take a paxil, if someone can help, they will, constantly saying, "please help me", is annoying | 11:57 |
| Nikunj93 | image dicide into smal box like structures | 11:57 |
| Vistauser | rutgermasi: I don't know how... I did it a copule of years ago by typing in all soft of rooting command.. where can I find info on how to do it? | 11:57 |
| rutgermasi | Nikunj93: Tru #firefox | 11:57 |
| ak5 | Gimbli, ah sry, I think you might have misunderstood me My sound keys work (they increase/decrease sound) but by very, very little | 11:57 |
| LazyAngel | there should be a dpkg-reconfig or similar command to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. But what is it? | 11:57 |
| apavlov | Hey all, my fast user switching applet has started showing only logged-in users since recently (after a system update?) Any clues? | 11:57 |
| SebastianMcK | i hate ubuntu, its been a pain in the bum ever since i got it | 11:57 |
| SebastianMcK | windows is easier | 11:57 |
| ak5 | SebastianMcK, no one is forcing you | 11:57 |
| rutgermasi | take windows :P | 11:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | SebastianMcK: user malfunction most likely, i've got 3 boxes, no problems at all. | 11:57 |
| Nikunj93 | ya | 11:57 |
| battlesquid | SebastianMcK then give up, looser | 11:57 |
| Nikunj93 | use paid things | 11:58 |
| Nikunj93 | with piracy | 11:58 |
| Starnestommy | !ot | 11:58 |
| ak5 | PEBKAC | 11:58 |
| Vistauser | rutgermasi: I did configure manually.. but now it asks me for a ip address. I want dhcp though!! | 11:58 |
| SebastianMcK | wow real nice | 11:58 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 11:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | SebastianMcK: nothing to do w/ nice or not nice, you made a foolish statement.., | 11:58 |
| LazyAngel | SebastianMcK: thats what you get for mentioning windows ;) | 11:58 |
| rutgermasi | Vistauser: just fill in your gateway and ip address, you don't need to get an ip automatically from your dhcp server | 11:58 |
| ak5 | We aren't paid to be nice? | 11:58 |
| Vistauser | sebastian: did you reset your password? | 11:59 |
| Snowball | hi | 11:59 |
| Snowball | is there a software which saves everything typed? | 11:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | you should go to #debian, and see how "nice" they are.. | 11:59 |
| Nikunj93 | aks | 11:59 |
| Snowball | I need to control a chat of my child | 11:59 |
| Vistauser | rutgermasi: well if I have configured my dslr router as a dhcp server will it allow a static address to be used?! | 11:59 |
| Nikunj93 | the images is only hazy in some places | 11:59 |
| Nikunj93 | like orkut | 11:59 |
| SouseMouse | Does Gutsy retain USB device configuration between reboots? My USB went haywire when I connected a cheap USB->serial adapter, and rebooting doesn't help. | 11:59 |
| ak5 | Vistauser, most, yes | 11:59 |
| kelvin911 | why i have to manually edit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme in order the mouse pointer to change??? | 11:59 |
| rutgermasi | Vistauser: yes | 11:59 |
| Nikunj93 | http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074 | 11:59 |
| Gimbli | Vistauser: yes, it will. the router normally runs independent from the dhcp server | 11:59 |
| Nikunj93 | and this linl | 11:59 |
| kelvin911 | how come changing it in appearance dont work anymore??? | 12:00 |
| Starnestommy | Snowball: I don't think so. | 12:00 |
| battlesquid | vistakiller you need to select an IP outside of the DHCP interval | 12:00 |
| Nikunj93 | ak5 u here? | 12:00 |
| kelvin911 | anyone? | 12:00 |
| ak5 | Snowball, I don't know, try to google keylogger+ubuntu | 12:00 |
| Vistauser | battlesquid: so how do I find out the dhcp intervall?! | 12:00 |
| ak5 | Nikunj93, yes | 12:00 |
| jetscreamer | LazyAngel: i missed the full question, but dpkg-reconfigure locales or console-data ? (but ubuntu locales are different iirc) | 12:00 |
| battlesquid | Vistauser see you router docs | 12:00 |
| Snowball | ak5, thank you =) I did not know what word I need to search for =) | 12:00 |
| Snowball | thank you ak5 | 12:01 |
| rutgermasi | battlesquid, no, vistauser: choose ip within your dhcp ip range, | 12:01 |
| battlesquid | Vistauser on my router there is a web config where i can select that interval | 12:01 |
| Vistauser | HERE WE GO AGAIN! I am really beginning to wonder if linux has matured as much as I expected.... | 12:01 |
| battlesquid | rutger that wont work | 12:01 |
| ak5 | Snowball, no problem - I have that kind of question often too, as english isn't my native language :) | 12:01 |
| Vistauser | some network manager is supposed to do that stuff for me!!! | 12:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Vistauser: your user name says it all, Linux has matured A LOT in 4-5yrs I've been using it... | 12:01 |
| rutgermasi | Vistauser: go to http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.254 (all with http://, open in firefox) | 12:01 |
| ak5 | Vistauser, linux seems to work fine for me? | 12:01 |
| Nikunj93 | ak5 | 12:02 |
| Snowball | ak5, where are you from? | 12:02 |
| Nikunj93 | u read | 12:02 |
| Nikunj93 | what i wrote? | 12:02 |
| battlesquid | Vistauser this isn't about ubuntu maturing. it's about users needing to understand networking | 12:02 |
| ak5 | Nikunj93, nope, sry | 12:02 |
| ak5 | Snowball, germany | 12:02 |
| Vistauser | I can believe you guys when you say it works! | 12:02 |
| Nikunj93 | i want to say | 12:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 12:02 |
| Vistauser | but at the cost of how much hours of your spare time?! | 12:02 |
| ak5 | haha xD | 12:02 |
| Nikunj93 | the image is hazy only in orkut and http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074 | 12:02 |
| Vistauser | I also have some actual work to do... | 12:02 |
| ak5 | Vistauser, out of the box usually | 12:02 |
| battlesquid | Vistauser sure we all do | 12:02 |
| rutgermasi | Vistauser: give some of us an ssh connection with your pc and it will work :P | 12:03 |
| ak5 | Nikunj93, I don't know, I said that already - I have never seen this problem - sry | 12:03 |
| Vistauser | well I am using a very old computer... when I select the eth0 card for autoconfiguring the kernel panicks... | 12:03 |
| Vistauser | and the install stalls | 12:03 |
| digitalpsyko | will kubuntu 8.04 install my nvidia driver for me? | 12:03 |
| Nikunj93 | ok | 12:03 |
| ak5 | digitalpsyko, yes | 12:03 |
| Vistauser | then only rebooting work | 12:03 |
| digitalpsyko | im in the hardware drivers | 12:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalpsyko: most likely.. you just may need to enable it in restricted driver | 12:03 |
| Snowball | ak5, Austria here =) | 12:03 |
| kelvin911 | can i delete /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme ?? | 12:03 |
| Vistauser | battlesquid: you all do what? invest a lot of spare time or have some work to do? | 12:04 |
| ak5 | Snowball, heh nice :) | 12:04 |
| digitalpsyko | it says proprietary drivers are being used to make this system work properly. | 12:04 |
| ak5 | Snowball, my parents are thinking of moving to gratz | 12:04 |
| Snowball | how comes? | 12:04 |
| ak5 | digitalpsyko, yeah - unless you have moral complaints that'll be fine | 12:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalpsyko: does it show "Enabled" is checked, and status is in use? | 12:04 |
| digitalpsyko | i enabled the restricted driver | 12:04 |
| digitalpsyko | yeah | 12:04 |
| ak5 | Snowball, job | 12:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalpsyko: ok, so whats the prob? | 12:04 |
| Snowball | ak-, i c =) | 12:04 |
| digitalpsyko | it pops up everytime i restart though | 12:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalpsyko: what does? | 12:05 |
| Snowball | well, I need to leave for a moment, will be back soon | 12:05 |
| Snowball | thx ak5 | 12:05 |
| Snowball | bye =) | 12:05 |
| ak5 | Snowball, I'm going to stay and finish the abitur here :) | 12:05 |
| digitalpsyko | the restricted driver thing | 12:05 |
| ak5 | Snowball, byebye | 12:05 |
| Snowball | and then you are going to come over here? | 12:05 |
| Snowball | ak5, gimme 10 mins *g* | 12:05 |
| ak5 | Snowball, kk bye | 12:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok,well, i don't know... that must be because kde sucks.. i've never had that issue w/ Ubuntu.; | 12:05 |
| SebastianMcK | Enter your new UNIX password, i cannot enter anything | 12:05 |
| pedervl | I have an archive which the archiver tells me is tar, but it can't extract it as .tar. I can use konqueror to browse through the archive, but how can I extract it? | 12:05 |
| ak5 | IndyGunFreak, even if you speak the truth - don't start WM wars here pls | 12:06 |
| as84 | Hello, I have an AMD 64 bit Asus laptop, do you guys recommend that I install the 32 bit version of ubuntu or the 64 bits ? | 12:06 |
| digitalpsyko | will i be able to install compiz-fuzion with this restricted driver? | 12:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | ak5: i'll start what i like | 12:06 |
| ak5 | IndyGunFreak, we tolerate bashing windows users already :P | 12:06 |
| rutgermasi | as84: if you have 4gb or more RAM/memory, you will need the 64bit version | 12:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalpsyko: you should be able to | 12:06 |
| as84 | I only got 2gb | 12:06 |
| Starnestommy | SebastianMcK: just type it in. Nothing will show up, though | 12:06 |
| rutgermasi | as84: I recommend the 32-bit version | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | as84: i always recommend 32bit... less problems | 12:07 |
| digitalpsyko | im converting from windows xppro and i must say i do like this kubuntu alot better | 12:07 |
| ak5 | as84, unless you need the 64bit arch, use the 32bit | 12:07 |
| as84 | rutgermasi, you mind telling me why? | 12:07 |
| digitalpsyko | i like the kdesktop environment instead of the gnome | 12:07 |
| as84 | but isn't less performant thje 32 bits, | 12:07 |
| as84 | ? | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | i love that answer.. | 12:07 |
| ak5 | as84, only in theory | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | install 64bit, then come back here with the constant problems you have. | 12:07 |
| Starnestommy | as84: flash, java, and some other things are hard to get working on the 64-bit version | 12:07 |
| digitalpsyko | thanks fellas | 12:08 |
| rutgermasi | as84: you will get a grater performance of your ram if you install 64bit version, only if you have 4gb or more | 12:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Starnestommy: thats just the start of it.. many drivers do not have 64bit versions...., lots of programsdon't work under 64bit. | 12:08 |
| as84 | but i heard with an dpkg -i --force | 12:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | 64bit is just to much of a headache, at least right now... i'll use it when its actually ready | 12:09 |
| as84 | it would force the install | 12:09 |
| void^ | as84: nice way to break a system | 12:09 |
| rutgermasi | as84: so don't use 64bit | 12:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | yup. | 12:09 |
| ak5 | IndyGunFreak, I use 64 bit archlinux on my desktop and everything works fine | 12:09 |
| faileas | >_> | 12:09 |
| phoareau | hi. will there be any major change the the gnome UI in the future release of Ubuntu? | 12:09 |
| ak5 | IndyGunFreak, it just requires more tweaking is all | 12:09 |
| faileas | digitalpsyko: what did i do? XD | 12:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | ak5: arch and ubuntu is very different | 12:09 |
| Starnestommy | phoareau: in 8.10? | 12:09 |
| SebastianMcK | Starnestommy: THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKS! | 12:10 |
| phoareau | yes | 12:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | arch is probably 64bit ready.., in my opinion, Ubuntu is not. | 12:10 |
| Starnestommy | phoareau: I think you may want to try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 12:10 |
| ak5 | IndyGunFreak, true, but you were talking about the 64bit in general no? | 12:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | Suse is a great 64bit distro... although i hate it., it works quite well. | 12:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | ak5: no i was not.. i was referring to ubuntu... | 12:10 |
| digitalpsyko | XD my nutz | 12:10 |
| ak5 | IndyGunFreak, AH OK THEN | 12:10 |
| phoareau | Starnestommy, ok thenk you. | 12:10 |
| whileimhere | I have an external SCSI USB CDRW. How do I find where its path is | 12:10 |
| ak5 | lol capslock :/ | 12:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | whileimhere: its probably /media/something | 12:11 |
| as84 | you guys have an idea why ubuntu choose gnome as default DE ? | 12:11 |
| ak5 | as84, why not? | 12:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | as84: because kde sucks, and newbs didn't like xfce or flux | 12:11 |
| as84 | KDE seems cooler | 12:11 |
| ak5 | as84, grab kubuntu then | 12:11 |
| Starnestommy | as84: I think the system utilities were easier to use and it used less space than kde | 12:11 |
| ak5 | as84, choice is the keyword here | 12:11 |
| as84 | i see | 12:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | not to mention, gnome users don't get used to staring at an hourglass | 12:12 |
| as84 | anyone ever tried arch here? | 12:12 |
| faileas | lol | 12:12 |
| faileas | what hourglass? | 12:12 |
| as84 | is it worth trying over ubuntu ? | 12:12 |
| ak5 | as84, archlinux? yes | 12:12 |
| * faileas hasn't had much problems with KDE | 12:12 | |
| === IshinoSan_ is now known as IshinoSan | ||
| as84 | ak5 and what did you think of it ? | 12:12 |
| rutgermasi | as84: you can try it in vmware or virtualbox, or just install next to your ubuntu | 12:12 |
| ak5 | as84, are you proficiant with the commandline? | 12:12 |
| as84 | yeah | 12:12 |
| * IndyGunFreak would rather get his face stomped by a golf cleat wearing Rosie O Donnell, than use KDE | 12:12 | |
| ak5 | as84, go for it - its harder to setup | 12:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'd go back to windows before i used KDE | 12:13 |
| ak5 | as84, but way faster | 12:13 |
| phoareau | gnome is good. i like gnome over kde or kde 4 | 12:13 |
| ak5 | as84, I use it on my desktop | 12:13 |
| as84 | drivers wise, does it support as much as hardwares as ubuntu ? | 12:13 |
| faileas | IndyGunFreak: i use gnome too (on another system). cripes its a desktop envitonment, not a religion ;p | 12:13 |
| phoareau | but the thing is, the gnome UI never chnage, it stays the same. i think it needs a facelift. | 12:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | faileas: lol, for me, its almost religion, i despise kDE.. | 12:13 |
| ak5 | as84, it supports a lot - I have never had any issues - but if you mean out of the box - I'd say no | 12:13 |
| whileimhere | I still cannot get GRIP to find this external drive. | 12:14 |
| StavFX | hello, can someone help me with Creox? it won't do any effects for my guitar | 12:14 |
| ak5 | as84, arch is not supposed to work out of the box - after the install you don't even have X | 12:14 |
| ak5 | as84, if you are comfortable with that - just try it | 12:14 |
| faileas | IndyGunFreak: i'm platform agnostic ;p | 12:14 |
| scoldog | How can i get Kubuntu Gutsy to play DVD's? | 12:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | faileas: lol | 12:15 |
| as84 | i probably should read their install guide | 12:15 |
| faileas | IndyGunFreak: in more ways than one ;p | 12:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | !medibuntu | scoldog | 12:15 |
| ubottu | scoldog: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 12:15 |
| faileas | my latest 'toy' runs irix ;p | 12:15 |
| ak5 | as84, I prefer using ubuntu for desktops if you don't want to configure anything | 12:15 |
| ak5 | as84, but servers are awesome in arch | 12:15 |
| scoldog | Thanks, I thought it would automatically install the codecs like normal Ubuntu | 12:15 |
| phoareau | scoldog, there is a guide for that, you just need to install two or three progs | 12:16 |
| as84 | i would run centos on servers though | 12:16 |
| as84 | i dont trust arch | 12:16 |
| as84 | it is too new | 12:16 |
| mohamed_ | is the first time deal with vmware and i can start it but i got this message " Cannot find a serial number to unlock this version of VMware Server " how to solve this ? | 12:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | i've never used arch, but i've heard it has an incredible package manager once you learn to use it. | 12:16 |
| ak5 | as84, well, ok - trust doesn't really have to do with it though - just take a look at the source :) | 12:16 |
| as84 | so how come arch would theorically be faster than ubuntu | 12:17 |
| as84 | lest bloated services? | 12:17 |
| ak5 | as84, it is i686 optiized | 12:17 |
| as84 | i mean they both run same kernel | 12:17 |
| Starnestommy | as84: and less bloat | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | as84: this is way off topic.. if you want to try arch downloadi t and try it. | 12:17 |
| as84 | well I do an amd 64 :-/ | 12:17 |
| ak5 | as84, same kernelVERSION | 12:17 |
| Starnestommy | and perhaps different kernel config options | 12:17 |
| joe_nix | hey, is anyone availiable to possibly help me with some driver problems? | 12:17 |

| justAsset_ | anyone did what am doin' now? | 12:22 |

| yusuo | ak5, but how do what is the command i need | 12:22 |
| ak5 | yusuo, i just gave you the command | 12:23 |

| ak5 | yusuo, then add the shortcut name | 12:25 |

| Freshy | in 8.04 how do i set the root password. when i su i get a wrong password error. (but not for packages manager) | 12:52 |
| Ward1983 | can i set up a serial port of my desktop so i can connect to it with another comp with a hyperterminal clone, just like i connect to a router? | 12:52 |
| Starnestommy | Freshy: use sudo | 12:52 |
| ere4si | Freshy: sudo passwd | 12:52 |
| larson9999 | Freshy, use sudo instead of su in ubuntu. | 12:52 |
| Ward1983 | if yes: how | 12:52 |
| larson9999 | Freshy that's how to set it but i REALLY think you're better of using sudo | 12:52 |
| Sp0tter | if i have 3g of ram on my laptop, is there any reason to have a swap partition other then for hibernation | 12:52 |
| SliM1 | devilsadvocate: i just assumed that the 10 cds weren't approved | 12:53 |
| SliM1 | devilsadvocate: do you know what i can do? | 12:53 |
| Ward1983 | SliM1, they most probably got lost in the mail | 12:53 |
| Starnestommy | Sp0tter: it's used as reserve space if you start runniing out of RAM | 12:53 |
| larson9999 | i've bot the 'ubuntu locks up on me once or twice a day blues' | 12:53 |
| devilsadvocate | Freshy, using root is generally not a good idea. sudo -i is recommended over that. if you still want to do it, then you sill have to run sudo passwd root | 12:53 |
| Freshy | cool thanks | 12:53 |
| Erosion | 12hi | 12:53 |
| devilsadvocate | SliM1, no idea | 12:53 |
| SliM1 | Ward1983: such a waste, they were customized CDs :( | 12:54 |
| hypn0 | is cloned output only for dual monitors? in screen resolution prefs | 12:54 |
| Sp0tter | Starnestommy, right, so with 3g i should never run out of ram so there is no need to have it? | 12:54 |
| Ward1983 | SliM1, most probably the reason why they got lost? :p | 12:54 |
| Starnestommy | Sp0tter: you might want to make a 1gb swap partition just in case | 12:55 |
| Ward1983 | SliM1, but what does it mather, the content is the same as any other CD :) | 12:55 |
| Ward1983 | just order the new one | 12:55 |
| Ward1983 | SliM1, or even better go to a release party then you get a customised one too | 12:55 |
| Sp0tter | That's why i'm here, to elimate the 'just in case' by finding the answer :) | 12:55 |
| Starnestommy | Sp0tter: you can run without one for now and create one in the future if you think you'll need it | 12:56 |

| Freshy | do you have to be root to do the definition update for aegis virus scanner? | 12:56 |
| SliM1 | Ward1983: that's what i mean by customised, not just pretty colours :P | 12:56 |
| devilsadvocate | Freshy, probably not. sudo should be adequate | 12:57 |
| Ward1983 | SliM1, lol ffs, they are not going to press you 10 custom CDs.... | 12:57 |
| === msnbot is now known as e66 | ||

| ere4si | !root | Freshy | 13:00 |
| ubottu | Freshy: 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 | 13:00 |

| TheFourthOne | I couldnt find one | 13:07 |
| devilsadvocate | Dimensions, for lightweight i say you could install ubuntu-server and then install some lightweight window manager. if you want xfce then you can go straight for xubuntu, or you could try something like fluxbox. i dont know about the kernel issue though | 13:08 |

| devilsadvocate | erland, all the stuff in your home directory (all the hidden files and folders) and /etc for system wide settings | 13:34 |

| laeg | i am having troulbe getting sound in wine when vlc is running in the background - i have tried to remove pulse audio by selecting alsa for all options in system > preferences > sound but i still have no success - how can i fix this? | 13:40 |
| CShadowRun | Can anybody help me? I'm editing the applications menu with alacarte and my changes have no effect at all. | 13:41 |
| Sarah | hi, do i need to install anything prior to installing x-sensors from that add/remove programs? | 13:41 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, i agree. and its not spoken about much online either | 13:41 |
| m1r | RainCT: ok , think i got the idea:) tnx | 13:41 |
| Starnestommy | Sarah: add/remove will automatically install anything that x-sensors needs when you install it | 13:41 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, to help reduce my blood pressure, i ended changing the boot arguments to just quiet from quiet splash | 13:41 |
| speedexe | heloo | 13:41 |
| RainCT | m1r: the really important stuff are the hidden files from your home directory, which contain the configuration and data (when applicable) of all your applications | 13:42 |
| RainCT | m1r: yw | 13:42 |
| Sarah | Starnestommy, ok i thought so, i just think it wont work because last time i tried it never worked, but this is a new install so i'll see what happens this time | 13:42 |
| zerodamage | Its like its just something you have to live with, but if that is the case, I will just uninstall ubuntu (till I calm down) | 13:42 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, i not 100% sure, but i _think_ my problem was solved in hardy. that computer is about 1600 km away so i cant confirm, though | 13:42 |
| zerodamage | Right | 13:42 |
| RainCT | Sarah: iirc there's some problem with xsensors | 13:42 |
| Sarah | oh | 13:42 |
| kripz | is there alternatives to network-manager? i need something with more features that has a gui | 13:42 |
| zerodamage | You do understand that I am unable to use this computer if nvidia drivers are installed? | 13:42 |
| zerodamage | I cant log in | 13:43 |
| m1r | RainCT: what about replicating all software from one machien to other? that is all hidden in /etc, right ? | 13:43 |
| quentusrex | Anyone know how to use sqlite? I'm trying to dump permissions from one sqlite file, and import them into another file. The problem is that the new file already has some permissions in it | 13:43 |
| Sarah | does gkrellm work alright on ubuntu? i noticed it isnt in that add/remove list, but i like it | 13:43 |
| * RainCT got a possible fix for it ready but it didn't get into Hardy at time | 13:43 | |
| Sarah | id probably like ti better than x sensors anyway | 13:43 |
| binarycodes | kripz: did you try wicd? | 13:43 |
| kripz | binarycodes, even less features | 13:43 |
| Smegzor | A process is sending/recieving a very small amount of internet traffic constantly but I can't easily tell whats doing it. Is there a utility that details which process is responsible for the traffic? | 13:43 |
| binarycodes | :O | 13:43 |
| kripz | binarycodes, in terms of security | 13:43 |
| binarycodes | oh | 13:43 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, not able to log in? | 13:43 |
| binarycodes | well, then i surrender | 13:44 |
| ganteng | learningskils.blogspot.com | 13:44 |
| kripz | =) | 13:44 |
| RainCT | m1r: installing the same applications you mean? no, they are all around the filesystem (binaries in /bin, /sbin/, /usr/bin or /usr/games, data in /usr/share/, global configuration in /etc, etc.) | 13:44 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, the drivers kick in somewher down the line and gdm opens fine... | 13:44 |
| RainCT | m1r: you can get a list of all installed packages and install them on the new PC if you wnat, though | 13:44 |
| binarycodes | kripz: btw, you can always setup firewalls | 13:44 |
| RainCT | m1r: (if you're interested I can tell you what the command for that would be) | 13:44 |
| m1r | rainct, how can one do that * | 13:44 |
| kripz | binarycodes, im actually trying to connect to a network, not create one | 13:44 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, which nvidia card do you have? | 13:44 |
| Sarah | also, when i reboot or shutdown i see a bunch of dbus errors, is that anything major? i looked in the logs but i can't see the errors there though so i'm not sure what they say | 13:44 |
| zerodamage | Yesterday, i waited 45 minutes, no drivers worked | 13:45 |
| Starnestommy | m1r: the irc /me command? | 13:45 |
| zerodamage | (Ubuntu 8.04, tried Envy, Restricted-drivers, Manual install, Nvidia Geforce 8400 installed) | 13:45 |
| RainCT | m1r: also, if you don't want to download the packages again many of them should still be /var/cache/apt/archive; you can copy the files from there over to the other machine | 13:45 |
| devilsadvocate | zerodamage, turn off the splash, and remove quiet. see how far the boot gets | 13:45 |
| Pelo | I've been getting random lockups since a reboot yesterday I had a 5 day uptime before that, have we heard anytrhing ? | 13:45 |
| ganteng | learningskils.blogspot.com | 13:45 |

| Pelo | georgeguitar, better ask the actual question | 13:46 |
| Ward1983 | how do i set up a serial terminal in ubuntu? | 13:47 |
| zerodamage | where is the grub menu?, is it where you choose between normal and recovery boot? | 13:47 |
| RainCT | m1r: yes. I'm trying to think of a command to get a list of all installed programs, will tell you in a moment | 13:47 |
| devilsadvocate | Ward1983, a serial terminal? | 13:47 |
| Starnestommy | zerodamage: yes | 13:47 |

| jrib | CShadowRun: be more specific | 13:48 |
| devilsadvocate | Ward1983, well, if you just want a terminal that can talk on serial port, there are a few good ones. The gtk one i use most often is gtkterm. the serial port is at /dev/ttyS0 | 13:49 |
| RainCT | m1r: dpkg -l | cut -d' ' -f3 | grep -v '=' | grep -v '(' | xargs echo > filelist | 13:49 |
| RainCT | m1r: ok, Pelo's is better | 13:49 |

| georgeguitar | I tried with this but I didn't work: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets | 13:58 |
| laeg | how do i disable compiz? it is breaking wine, or wine is breaking it | 13:58 |
| binarycodes | linkmaster03: now just run that .bashrc one | 13:58 |
| RainCT | Nikunj93: if you want to switch often between compiz and metacity, there's a tray icon for that: fusion-icon | 13:59 |
| binarycodes | like ./.bashrc | 13:59 |
| umop | How can i format a usb flash drive if its read only? or how do i remount it so its not read only? | 13:59 |

| DarkRainbow | I tried to install Ubuntu, and it loaded Partition manager. Then i choose manual and pressed next, just to see what "manual" was. Went eating when it was loading, and when i came back, i had an error manager. I first thought that Ubuntu haad deleted my windows partition, but every file/picture is here. Only problem is that the "Guided" alternative in partition manager is gone, its just | 13:59 |
| georgeguitar | why this command tells me: current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 1.60 GHz. | 13:59 |
| Starnestommy | Nikunj93: there might be a bug related to firefox 3 and jpeg images. Let me check launchpad.net and mozilla's site for bugs | 13:59 |
| jrib | legend2440: ugh, that's going to mess up permissions | 13:59 |
| ruiboon | georgeguitar: hangon while i test it out on another computer with cpufreq enabled | 13:59 |
| DarkRainbow | its just "Guided: overwrite everything" or manual | 13:59 |
| Nikunj93 | Starnestommy: ok :) | 14:00 |
| CShadowRun | legend2440 then it's running as the root user and won't edit my users menu :p | 14:00 |

| DarkRainbow | Yes | 14:00 |
| Nikunj93 | Starnestommy: how enable compiz again will ccsm in compiz do? | 14:00 |
| CShadowRun | I think i'll have to manually remove every single menu item and then add new ones in to replace them | 14:00 |
| CShadowRun | So annoying. | 14:00 |
| DarkRainbow | Rebooted the computer, but the alternative is still gone | 14:00 |
| linkmaster03 | binarycodes: I tried sudo ./.bashrc and this shows "sudo: ./.bashrc: command not found" | 14:00 |

| raded | yesterday stereo sound stopped working in ubuntu 8.04. only ac3/dts encoded sound worked. then i reinstalled ubuntu, and everything was working perfect. until now. it just stopped working again. | 14:05 |
| Starnestommy | Nikunj93: try running with the nvidia drivers disabled | 14:05 |

| Nikunj93 | ok | 14:05 |
| raded | using spdif | 14:05 |
| joe_nix | My nvidia driver is totally not working and screwing up a hell of a lot, Ive tried installing the shell script off the nvidia website, and the restricted drivers off the ubuntu package search, And every time i turn my computer on it asks for the monitor and graphics card settings, but It's clearly set in the xorg.conf file. | 14:05 |
| jrib | linkmaster03: erm, you just want to do: . ~/.bashrc | 14:05 |
| bazhang | Ishikawa, not here please | 14:05 |
| DarkRainbow | But i will try again | 14:05 |
| binarycodes | linkmaster03: oh sorry, yes jrib is right | 14:05 |
| laeg | RainCT: i don't have a utilities dir under applications | 14:05 |
| linkmaster03 | jrib: thanks | 14:05 |
| laeg | RainCT: i installed via synaptic package manager | 14:05 |
| ruiboon | georgeguitar: that weird. i got it running by answering yes for the $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets | 14:06 |
| CShadowRun | legend2440 i changed my theme to the default theme, the error goes away, the actual issue remains. | 14:06 |
| laeg | RainCT: it's under system tools. when i switch to metacity and load wine and then switch to another workspace wine is still following me | 14:06 |
| Nikunj93 | raded: where to get that compiz fusion icon? | 14:06 |
| linkmaster03 | binarycodes: I got it working now how would I refer to it in a parameter of a shell script | 14:06 |
| legend2440 | CShadowRun: running compiz? | 14:07 |
| binarycodes | just use $DATE | 14:07 |
| RainCT | laeg: er.. Accessories? | 14:07 |
| laeg | Nikunj93: synaptic package manager | 14:07 |
| raded | look in ur menu | 14:07 |
| CShadowRun | legend2440 yes | 14:07 |
| RainCT | laeg: dunno how it's called in english | 14:07 |
| Nikunj93 | Starnestommy: after disabling NVIDIA drivers shall i reboot and try | 14:07 |
| linkmaster03 | binarycodes: oh ok thank you | 14:07 |
| laeg | RainCT: it's in system tools :) | 14:07 |
| binarycodes | type echo $DATE and see if it works | 14:07 |
| RainCT | laeg: ok | 14:07 |
| raded | Can anyone help me with a sound problem? | 14:07 |
| raded | yesterday stereo sound stopped working in ubuntu 8.04. only ac3/dts encoded sound worked. then i reinstalled ubuntu, and everything was working perfect. until now. it just stopped working again. | 14:07 |
| legend2440 | CShadowRun: same thing with compiz off? | 14:07 |
| raded | .mp3 and system sounds, etc. is not working at all | 14:07 |
| laeg | RainCT: did you see my other question? i meant to keep it all on one line | 14:07 |
| RainCT | Nikunj93: fusion-icon, not compiz-fusion-icon | 14:07 |
| georgeguitar | ruiboon: humm, but here it's not working, when I select a different frequency than 100% it doesn't change | 14:07 |
| enry_ | .ircitalia.net | 14:07 |
| jrib | CShadowRun: you never told me if what I asked you to do worked | 14:07 |
| Starnestommy | Nikunj93: yes. If it works, then the problem was with the drivers. If it still doesn't work, switch back to the nvidia drivers | 14:07 |
| Enselic | raded: is sound completely broken, or does some sound playback work? | 14:08 |
| georgeguitar | ruiboon: it continues 100% | 14:08 |
| RainCT | laeg: I guess you haven't marked the 'always on the active workspace' option of the window? | 14:08 |
| raded | Enselic: only dts and ac3 works. EVERYTHING else is broken | 14:08 |
| CShadowRun | jrib editing the desktop? yea i did. It didn't work. | 14:08 |
| ruiboon | georgeguitar: could you post the result of $cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies into pastebin? | 14:08 |
| jrib | CShadowRun: then it's not an alacarte issue right? | 14:08 |
| ruiboon | !pastebin | georgeguitar | 14:08 |
| ubottu | georgeguitar: 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) | 14:08 |
| CShadowRun | jrib i suppose not, it's a gnome menu issue then? | 14:09 |
| linkmaster03 | binarycodes: is there a way to set the month name and time to $MONTH and $TIME | 14:09 |
| CShadowRun | which i guess makes it even worse :p | 14:09 |
| laeg | RainCT: no because i'm running it in full screen - it would be sweet if i could someone set it to not be always in active workspace | 14:09 |
| jrib | CShadowRun: pastebin the .desktop you are referring to | 14:09 |
| ak5 | omg my xubuntu install keeps on stoping (no error message) at 75% (storing language) | 14:09 |
| ak5 | anyone had something like this happen? | 14:09 |
| anders__ | ak-, yes, defect media | 14:09 |
| binarycodes | linkmaster03: yes offcourse what i wrote is just for date | 14:09 |
| ak5 | anders__, I md5summed it | 14:09 |
| binarycodes | linkmaster03: see the man page for date,"man date" and just use the parameters you want | 14:10 |
| kripz | any other wireless managers apart from wicd, wifi radar and network manager?? | 14:10 |
| linkmaster03 | binarycodes: thank you | 14:10 |
| RainCT | laeg: but you know that it's switching the desktop? (might be that the application intercepts the Ctrl+Right/Left, if it's fullscreen) | 14:10 |
| CShadowRun | jrib http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=15582 | 14:10 |
| binarycodes | linkmaster03: for example export DATE=`date +"%d.%m.%Y"` | 14:11 |
| kripz | any other wireless managers apart from wicd, wifi radar and network manager that has a gui?? | 14:11 |
| Sarah | when i open this 'computertemp' package to install, i get the message saying there is a newer version in a software channel, what does that mean? it's not listed in the add/remove programs thing | 14:11 |
| binarycodes | linkmaster03: welcome :) | 14:11 |
| linkmaster03 | binarycodes: awesome thanks so much for your time | 14:11 |
| RainCT | Sarah: look in System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager | 14:11 |
| adam7 | kripz: I don't think so | 14:11 |
| raded | Enselic: any clue? | 14:11 |
| binarycodes | kripz: i dont know if it depends on network manager, but i use netapplet | 14:11 |
| Jamiesss | hey , anyone got any idea wat way 2 setup horde with cyrus, ldap , imap , postfix server ? | 14:11 |
| RainCT | Sarah: Add/Remove doesn't list all available programs, only those thatwill be shown in the menu after you install them | 14:11 |
| laeg | RichiH: it's definitely switching workspace - because i see the new workspace for a second - and then wine jumps into it | 14:12 |
| Sarah | oh righ | 14:12 |
| Sarah | right* | 14:12 |
| Enselic | raded: is wav broken? | 14:12 |
| Sarah | thanks RainCT | 14:12 |
| binarycodes | kripz: search in add/remove for network selector | 14:12 |

| barfman_ | RainCT, what's the proper way to reverse the math then? | 14:16 |
| jrib | bibstha: tell us exactly what you installed. What was the package name? | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | bibstha: sun-java6-plugin ?? | 14:16 |
| bibstha | yep | 14:16 |
| Enselic | raded: ok so let's see what we have so far: you can open a wav in VLC, but when you try to play it you get no sound. You can open an ac3 in VLC, and when you play it you _do_ get sound | 14:16 |
| barfman_ | RainCT, that's what i'm trying to figure out. | 14:16 |
| binarycodes | barfman_: 19683^(1/9) | 14:16 |

| bibstha | i sun-java6-plugin 6-06-0ubuntu1 The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6 | 14:16 |
| bibstha | i means installed right? | 14:16 |

| B|nTaRa | does ubuntu / xubuntu support Atheros wifi card ? | 14:19 |
| barfman_ | it's going to be kinda nice, user defined inputs and such. | 14:19 |

| === amfontinha is now known as quest4 | ||
| RainCT | DarkRainbow: best to use GParted (it's somewhere in System, as "PartitionEditor"). resize the windows partition and then you'll have to create at least a ext3 partition for the system and a swap partition for the SWAP space (size should be something between 1/2 and 4/2 of you're RAM) | 14:25 |
| RainCT | DarkRainbow: (it's recommended to add a second ext3 partition for your home directory) | 14:26 |
| Enselic | raded: if you create a new, clean account, does that account also have the same problem? (try opening a wav first) | 14:26 |
| Wootie | :o | 14:26 |
| raded | I'' try | 14:26 |
| raded | I'll try | 14:26 |
| ruiboon | georgeguitar: $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq | 14:26 |

| * RainCT doesn't remember how to use it, though, so I can't tell you | 14:27 | |
| georgeguitar | ruiboon: it says: 1599996 | 14:27 |
| bibstha | erUSUL: great java works | 14:27 |
| RainCT | binarycodes: he is asking how to use the manual partitioner in the installer and you tell him to use a command line tool? o_O | 14:27 |
| laeg | RainCT: sweet i'll look into it. do you have any pulse audio problems? | 14:29 |
| binarycodes | RainCT: i use that myself. | 14:29 |
| ruiboon | georgeguitar: that seems weird. that was a most direct way to change the cpufreq (though not that user friendly). | 14:29 |
| ak5 | so nothing apart from failed cd integrity test that could be the cause for install hanging up at 75% ? | 14:29 |
| RainCT | laeg: I've switched back to ALSA, with Pulse Audio I couldn't only have on application using the sound card at a time :S | 14:30 |
| scribawf | Any suggestions for Linux equivelent to Airoboform? | 14:30 |
| bazhang | ak5, you removed quiet and splash from boot parameters to see the exact errors yet? | 14:30 |

| bazhang | ak5 ah the alternate cd; then there is no splash--you check iso against md5 | 14:31 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: that's just the new behaviour in gnome now =( | 14:31 |
| ak5 | bazhang, yes | 14:31 |

| Bert_2 | Oli```: is there a work-around, like a label or something ? | 14:32 |
| RainCT | binarydigit: yes but if he's already confused with the GUI.. | 14:32 |

| RainCT | (didn't need restart nor anything) | 14:33 |

| drmarwat | hello | 14:33 |
| RainCT | newbie: there's rsync but it's a command line tool. there must be some GUI for that, though | 14:33 |
| Enselic | raded: what program did you use when playing wavs failed? | 14:34 |
| raded | computer crashed when logging out from the new account. | 14:34 |
| bazhang | ak5, it is the ram most likely--you might try fluxbuntu | 14:34 |
| Bert_2 | Oli```: I'm going to search the ubuntuforums and soem GNOME docs, perhaps I can find a way | 14:34 |
| Enselic | raded: when playing wavs stopped to work, rather | 14:34 |
| raded | failed? it doesnt fail. | 14:34 |
| scribawf | RainCT; Hmmmm....well haven't discovered that feature yet, but still fumbling around with Firefox. Tnx anyways sorry asked ? B 4 I searched through, (didn't do my homework :)) | 14:34 |
| drmarwat | i have problem with nvidia geforce fx 5600 driver problem on 8.04 | 14:34 |
| Enselic | raded: there is no sound, right? | 14:34 |
| newbie | bazhang, is a portable application for windows to synchronize folders | 14:34 |
| raded | correct. | 14:34 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: if you do find a way, please drop me a PM =) | 14:34 |
| Enselic | raded: then it fails I would say | 14:34 |
| ak5 | bazhang, hmm, wouldn't that give me an error message before trying to install? | 14:34 |
| RainCT | laeg: I don't know.. 'ps xa | grep pulse' will show you that's it's running, but I also still have the daemon running though I don't use it | 14:34 |
| ak5 | bazhang, :/ | 14:34 |
| raded | yep | 14:34 |
| titusg | can anyone help me get the inbuilt mic working on my laptop (samsung q45)? It makes a noise if I tap it but skype and gnome-sound-recorder don't pick it up. | 14:35 |
| Enselic | raded: so what program did you use when it stopped working? | 14:35 |
| raded | the problem happend after i was watching a movie in vlc | 14:35 |
| drmarwat | after i installed driver from synaptic the screen and all windows are distorted | 14:35 |
| bazhang | ak5, no real idea; just a guess on my part; 64mb is pretty slim in the ram department | 14:35 |
| laeg | RainCT: can i paste the output? | 14:35 |
| laeg | RainCT: 3 lines | 14:35 |
| Fabio_Como | hello i have a UTF16 file.. how can I convert it to UTF8 from commandline? thanks | 14:35 |

| ak5 | sudobash, ah thx | 14:35 |
| RainCT | drmarwat: have you tried uninstalling them again? :P | 14:35 |
| sudobash | if you are talking about ubuntu live cd | 14:35 |
| Enselic | raded: sorry I'm out of ideas, you could try #alsa @ freenode perhaps | 14:35 |
| raded | Enselic: after i watched the movie. i tried to play a .mp3 and i got no sound | 14:35 |
| whileimhere | Is there a basic CD player for the GNOME taskbar? | 14:35 |

| Enselic | raded: think so yes | 14:36 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: okay I've got something... apparently things need proper labels now - mountpoints won't do | 14:36 |
| sudobash | i think is 384 now??? | 14:36 |
| sudobash | whileimhere: just use vlc or xmms | 14:36 |
| newbie | I am looking to synchronize two external hard drives to backup my data twice, but I have old and new data all mixed, and is almost impossible for me to synchronize them. I prefer to use a gui app | 14:36 |

| Steve-O | Just installed ubunutu, when i go to login in gnome it just takes me back to the login screen again, the only way i can get on is to use the failsafe gnome session any help? | 14:36 |

| linkmaster03 | How do I set a file to run on a keypress? | 14:36 |
| ak5 | fluxbox isn't really an option bazhang | 14:36 |
| sudobash | ak5 try xubuntu | 14:36 |
| sudobash | or debian | 14:36 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: run "sudo blkid" to see if your drives have labels, if they don't, read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4835670&postcount=17 | 14:36 |
| whileimhere | sudobash: I mean like an applet | 14:36 |
| ak5 | sudobash, this is what I am trying | 14:36 |
| bazhang | sudobash, already trying | 14:36 |
| sudobash | then try debian is you cant xubuntu | 14:37 |

| sudobash | (flux) | 14:37 |
| ak5 | hmm :/ | 14:37 |
| sudobash | Ubuntu is Debian | 14:37 |
| sudobash | looks the same almostr | 14:37 |
| sudobash | feels the same | 14:37 |
| Dr_willis | !ubuntu | 14:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 14:37 |
| sudobash | but Debian is a little quicker | 14:37 |
| Steve-O | Just installed ubunutu, when i go to login in gnome it just takes me back to the login screen again, the only way i can get on is to use the failsafe gnome session any help? | 14:37 |
| ak5 | sudobash, see thing is - its to be a pure websurfing machine - fluxbox (or other minimal wms) aren't really an option as this is for a complete noob | 14:37 |
| Dr_willis | how do you even benchmark such things? | 14:38 |
| laeg | RainCT: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11419/ | 14:38 |
| sudobash | Steve-O you may have a Xorg problem | 14:38 |
| sudobash | or gnome problem | 14:38 |
| Steve-O | how do i fix that | 14:38 |
| ompaul | ak5, they can be - web requires an icon on screen - you could do windowmaker and xubuntu has full metacity menus | 14:38 |
| sudobash | try to restart and see what happens | 14:38 |
| Steve-O | i have | 14:38 |
| Dr_willis | Steve-O, what video card? | 14:38 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: or just go to computer:/// in nautilus, right click each volume and go to properties and rename it | 14:38 |
| Steve-O | ati | 14:38 |

| sudobash | ati hug? | 14:39 |

| Dundee | Hi, I would like to use git (git-daemon) to synchronize data between two PCs, but I haven't found any info about how to do it on ubuntu... | 14:39 |
| Dr_willis | Steve-O, did you install the fglrx restricted drivers? or are you usign the ati drivers? | 14:39 |
| Bert_2 | Oli```: that last idea is better I guess, especially for new users | 14:39 |
| ak5 | ompaul, I suspect xubuntu doesn't run on this machine 500mhz 64bit ram since the install hangs up at 75% | 14:39 |
| ak5 | 64mb ram sry | 14:39 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: *grumbles* that doesn't appear to be implemented yet though for some unknown reason | 14:39 |

| Steve-O | i have the 64 bit newest version | 14:40 |
| ak5 | ompaul, heh, thats what he gave me :) he said your the linux guy - install linux on this - and I wanted to try the new ubuntu anyways | 14:40 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | yeah | 14:40 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: indeed.. I'm trying it as root | 14:40 |

| edgardosilvi | gracias | 14:41 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | but hope i guess i will improve | 14:41 |

| ubuntu_firsttime | i dont know how to install ubuntu | 14:43 |
| Oli``` | Bert_2: e2label looks like it's working... I'll need to restart before I know for sure | 14:43 |
| Bert_2 | Oli```: this label command only works for ext2 and ext3 I think, cause it's not working for FAT32 | 14:43 |
| Oli``` | aha | 14:43 |
| Dr_willis | linkmaster03, explore the gnome settings menus perhaps. check the keyboard/shortcuts tools perhaps. | 14:43 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | i mean how do i dual boot with windows xp | 14:43 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | ? | 14:43 |
| ak5 | antic, safer than windows with a firewall | 14:43 |

| ak5 | antic, for what? | 14:46 |
| RainCT | ubuntu_firsttime: what do you mean? | 14:46 |

| Dr_willis | m1r, close all programs accessing the cdrom - or it wont unmount | 14:46 |
| laeg | RainCT: let me run another test with vlc in the background while i launch wine | 14:47 |
| arvind | bazhang,i have 2gb ram.i just want 2 utilise it more | 14:47 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | i mean by using command in the terminal | 14:47 |

| ubuntu_firsttime | well can i ask one last thing again | 14:47 |
| arvind | bazhang | 14:47 |
| Dr_willis | m1r, let me guess.. some stupid game with wine? | 14:47 |
| ak5 | antic, ubuntu server doesn't have x installed (from what I gather - I wouldn't use ubuntu for servers out of personal preference) | 14:47 |

| m1r | Dr_willis: correct!:) | 14:48 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | where can i get a tutorial on shell scripting? | 14:48 |
| elmargol | rhythmbox drives me nuts! It starts everythime i plug my ipod in :( | 14:48 |
| ak5 | antic, so If you want gfx - go with ubuntu/kubuntu/whateverfloatsyourboatbuntu | 14:48 |
| Dr_willis | m1r, for wine/games/multi-cd i tend to copy ALL the files from both cd's (or more) to a single dir, then use wine and start the installer from that directory. | 14:48 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_firsttime, #bash | 14:48 |
| elmargol | somehow the checkbox to disable this is gone on hardy :( | 14:48 |
| ubuntu_firsttime | ok its in ubuntu right? | 14:48 |
| RainCT | elmargol: System -> Preferences -> Media (and something) | 14:48 |
| Dr_willis | !bash | ubuntu_firsttime | 14:48 |

| [Aaron] | arvind, if you like WOW like games I suggest you look at this game http://www.s2games.com/savage/index.php I heard its pretty good. Im yet to try it myself | 14:55 |
| Enselic | arvind: yes, man intel | 14:55 |
| Dr_willis | savage 1 is nice.. savage2 just came out for linux recently. | 14:55 |
| laeg | ak5: i saw it before, don't you think the gfx are a bit poor? | 14:55 |
| Dr_willis | wesnoth graphics poor? They are suitable for the game. | 14:56 |
| arvind | Enselic,can u tell how? | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis | You expecting 3d animated things like in Warcraft4 ? | 14:56 |

| Steve-O | im having trouble logging in, when i try to log in in gnome it takes me to a blank white screen i can only get on in failsafe mode | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis | Steve-O, you could try setting yoru Video drivers to the 'vesa' ones or 'ati' and see if that helps. | 14:56 |
| laeg | ak5: woah hold that thought - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhfyYYG0YOY | 14:57 |
| laeg | Dr_willis: see above | 14:57 |
| Steve-O | how do i do that Dr Willis? | 14:57 |

| arvind | Enselic: how 2 increase video memory | 14:58 |
| ak5 | laeg, looks kinda alright - just I shouldn't start any mmorpgs - I'll get stuck and have less time for life ^^ | 14:58 |
| bazhang | arvind, cant be done outside of a new card | 14:58 |
| [Aaron] | Dr_willis, its not a demo, it is free but has limited characters | 14:58 |
| arvind | k | 14:58 |
| Dr_willis | [Aaron], the demo for savage 2 - was a time limited demo as of 3 weeks ago.. savage 1 is totally free. | 14:58 |
| Dr_willis | [Aaron], unless they changed it recently. You could play for like 6 hrs. | 14:59 |
| arvind | #sex | 14:59 |
| ak5 | lol?\ | 14:59 |
| ak5 | rofl | 14:59 |
| [Aaron] | Dr_willis, hmm I thought it was free... ill have to check again | 14:59 |

| alado2 | Dr_willis: thnx | 15:01 |
| razel | yes i downloaded kopete but still | 15:01 |
| Dr_willis | [Aaron], not a monthly fee sort of thing.. just to get full acccess to the saved stats and stuff - you need to actually buy the game. | 15:01 |
| darius12 | oh, it is inside linux/, I see | 15:02 |

| Lloydie-T | I have managed to break my ubuntu install by installing a new video board. Can I fix it by upgrading from CD? | 15:06 |
| RainCT | Dr_willis: ok, thanks. will try it out then, if I ever get to download it (I think that's the slowest torrent I've ever seen).. | 15:06 |
| gfxstyler | hello | 15:07 |
| Dr_willis | RainCT, I normally get it from some ftp server. You may want to read up on it. I was thinking there was some User-mod/savage 1 that everyne was using. | 15:07 |
| ak5 | ROFL - this pc doesn't have an ethernet port | 15:07 |
| gfxstyler | my firefox always crashes when displaying flash content. do you know a fix? | 15:08 |
| m1r | Lloydie-T: try reconfigure it ? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:08 |
| RainCT | Lloydie-T: no need for that, just get into a tty (start the computer and press Ctrl + Alt + F1 when it's load) and re-configure the graphics.. iirc that's done with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 15:08 |
| razel | bazhang: I did what it said but i have an error message.. what can i do? | 15:08 |
| gfxstyler | it's pretty annoying | 15:08 |
| bazhang | razel, is your webcam on that supported list | 15:08 |
| ak5 | gfxstyler, what distro? | 15:08 |
| RainCT | Dr_willis: oh, I followed the link from the website | 15:08 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: ubuntu hardy heron | 15:08 |
| ak5 | gfxstyler, did you try installing firefox 2? | 15:08 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: it's not crashing all the time, sometimes flash stuff (like youtube) works, sometimes it doesn't | 15:09 |
| razel | yes coz i can see myself through ekige and kopete | 15:09 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: no, i'd prefer to use the firefox that shipped with ubuntu | 15:09 |
| ak5 | gfxstyler, hmm, haven't had any problems with it | 15:09 |
| jerry | hello, does anyone know if my x60kfc(945GM) is fully supported by ubuntu 8.04? how about the performance? | 15:09 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: because it has some improvements like native gtk buttons and speed | 15:09 |
| ak5 | gfxstyler, ubuntu ships with a beta version - which sucks in my opinion - try to use the stable - tested ff2 | 15:10 |
| Enselic | jerry: 945GM will work just fine | 15:10 |
| Enselic | jerry: I have 965GM which also works fine | 15:10 |
| ak5 | gfxstyler, hmm you are right - but it is still a beta | 15:10 |
| Enselic | jerry: I had 945GM before | 15:10 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: you're right | 15:10 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: okay i guess i'll have to use firefox 2 until firefox 3 is final | 15:11 |
| razel | bazhang: ? | 15:11 |
| jerry | thanks, Enselic :) | 15:11 |
| ak5 | gfxstyler, they just crammed it in cause 8.04 is LTS and they didn't want to support ff2 for that long | 15:11 |
| === bluemooo__ is now known as bluemooo | ||
| ak5 | gfxstyler, plus if you use firefox plugins you may be disappointed | 15:12 |
| gfxstyler | ak5: do you know when firefox3 will be final? i heard that ubuntu will provide firefox updates later | 15:12 |

| erland | bloodrock: no such luck, I was permanently deleting them - thought I was in a backup on an ext hdd | 15:17 |
| rhade | anyway i tried every other kernel i have installed and it still gives the same error and now ive gone so far as to remove all vmlinuz files from /boot and yet it still loads a kernel and give same error | 15:17 |

| linkmaster03 | how can I disable this little volume slider I have on my laptop that I always bump? | 16:03 |
| LaPingvino | /msg ubottu etiquette | 16:03 |
| harfg | is it in Ubuntu Sources?? | 16:03 |
| Pelo | adam7 that's what I'm afraid of | 16:03 |
| youssef | and if i load firefox with compiz enabled the whole computer gets slow | 16:03 |
| youssef | it's a core 2 duo 2.2ghz | 16:04 |
| youssef | so it shouldn't | 16:04 |
| Pelo | linkmaster03, maybe in your bios | 16:04 |
| RainCT | how can I convert OGG to MP3 from the command line? | 16:04 |
| harfg | youssef, what graphics card would that be | 16:04 |
| youssef | the X3100 | 16:04 |
| linkmaster03 | Pelo: through the BIOS settings on startup? | 16:04 |
| Pelo | RainCT, google for ogg2mp3 and in the forum as well | 16:04 |
| youssef | which, as far as i know, works great with aero, so i don't think it's underpowered for eyecandy | 16:05 |
| harfg | Ifirc i had that with a 512MB gf 7800 .. | 16:05 |
| Pelo | linkmaster03, yes, your little button is part of the built in hardware , there "might" bet an option for it | 16:05 |
| LaPingvino | hello! | 16:05 |
| linkmaster03 | Pelo: is there any way I can look at my BIOS settings through Ubuntu? | 16:05 |
| danbhfive | RainCT: the conversion will probably suck, FYI | 16:05 |
| Pelo | later folks | 16:05 |
| youssef | the X3100 was blacklisted by compiz until the latest ubuntu release | 16:05 |
| harfg | I cant find "Jammin"'s homepage through Pooble.. is it called under something else now or what?? | 16:06 |
| youssef | i think the drivers are still a work in progress | 16:06 |
| sniff^ | when i minimize window in gnome it's too slow, can see frame black window shape | 16:06 |
| Pelo | linkmaster03, no, you can also try checking in the forum before you reboot to check , there might be somethjing there | 16:06 |
| youssef | which is why i want to go find newer ones to see if they are better | 16:06 |
| Pelo | again , laget | 16:06 |
| youssef | but i don't even know what version i'm currently running | 16:06 |
| linkmaster03 | Pelo: thank you | 16:06 |
| Pelo | sniff^, too much stress on y our video hardware, turn off compiz or at least some of the more demanding options | 16:06 |

| J-Unit | e slowest stick | 16:41 |
| J-Unit | bazhang, if u no tell me plz | 16:41 |

| Warddr | does anyone know if there is something wrong with this thing: May 11 17:28:16 warddr-laptop -- MARK -- in my syslog? | 16:41 |
| bazhang | J-Unit, not sure as that is a hardware question you should ask in that channel | 16:41 |
| Starnestommy | Warddr: looks OK | 16:41 |
| J-Unit | bazhang, wat is the hardware channel? | 16:42 |
| in1 | hi... | 16:42 |

| airstrike | i have a partition in my hard drive that is not being mounted upon boot. it's /dev/sda5 and i have it to mount to /storage, but it won't. if i try to rmdir /storage, i get 'device or resource busy'. /dev/sda5 was previously on /etc/mtab for some reason, mounting to /storage_, but i have #commented that line. how can i fix this? | 16:42 |
| eyyYo | floating, yeah, im searching around for it now :) | 16:42 |

| erUSUL | in1: bitchX is not very popular here i guess ;P | 16:42 |
| in1 | ye | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | in1: i use irssi | 16:42 |
| in1 | looks like it.. | 16:42 |
| Starnestommy | it's also fairly outdated | 16:42 |
| airstrike | mIRC ftw | 16:43 |
| Warddr | Starnestommy, my notebook sometimes freez, then I can't move my mouse, even CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE doesn't work. I looked in my syslog en that command was posted just before the computer froze | 16:43 |
| in1 | erusul: how is it? its a terminal irc client? | 16:43 |
| ak5 | irssi or xchat | 16:43 |
| bcurtiswx | anyone know if rhythmbox supports remote music directories? | 16:43 |

| omtinez | hi all | 16:44 |
| J-Unit | astro76, ok so wats better 1024 at 400 mhz speed or 1024mb + 256mb at the speed of the slower 256mb ram (p4 2 ghz generation ram)? | 16:44 |
| furythor | I found solution, I did install X server conf tool | 16:44 |
| in1 | erusul: ill try that .,.. | 16:44 |
| airstrike | how much slower is the 256mb stick? | 16:44 |
| bcurtiswx | ak5, would "connect to server" mount them properly for rhythmbox to use them? | 16:44 |
| ak5 | bcurtiswx, sure | 16:44 |
| antic | airstrike: 'mount' what does it say? umount whatverer is at /storage ? | 16:44 |
| omtinez | anyone knows how to switch between sessions in a terminal command? | 16:45 |
| J-Unit | airstrike, im not sure exactly but its in a comp with 2 ghz pentium 4 so wat was the average ram speed bak then? | 16:45 |
| rebecca | anyone know a fix to the firefox flash crashing problem? i have tried the "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" fix but it didn't help | 16:45 |
| airstrike | /dev/sda5 on /media/storage type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 16:45 |
| bazhang | rebecca, with youtube? | 16:45 |
| ak5 | rebecca, also using hardy? | 16:45 |
| astro76 | J-Unit: is the old stuff even ddr? either way it doesn't seem worth it to add 256 to 1GB | 16:45 |
| airstrike | J-Unit, i don't think it would be that much slower than 400mhz.. but i don't know it off the top of my head | 16:45 |
| rebecca | bazhang: yes | 16:45 |
| airstrike | i'd go for the 1gb stick alone | 16:45 |
| rebecca | ak5: yes | 16:45 |
| bazhang | rebecca, try by installing libflashsupport | 16:46 |
| omtinez | anyone knows how to switch between sessions in a terminal command? | 16:46 |
| airstrike | and you should check how much ram the motherboard can take | 16:46 |
| J-Unit | airstrike, k, thx | 16:46 |
| ak5 | rebecca, if you run into problems, I always tell people to install ff2 | 16:46 |
| Warddr | Is there any private information in syslog or am I able to post it in a pastbin and ask someone to look at it? | 16:46 |
| antic | J-Unit: 266 or 400 Mhz or thereabout | 16:46 |
| bcurtiswx | ak5, i can find the remote directory fine, when i tell it to import directory on that, it does nothing. | 16:46 |
| rebecca | bazhang: okay, ill try, i already have the restricted stuff but ill try thaty | 16:46 |
| DarkRainbow | Hello | 16:46 |
| ak5 | bcurtiswx, tell what? | 16:47 |
| rebecca | ak5: tried that, same prob in both | 16:47 |
| DarkRainbow | When i tries to install ubuntu, i comes to partitioning | 16:47 |
| ak5 | rebecca, ah | 16:47 |
| bcurtiswx | ak5, rhythmbox | 16:47 |
| antic | effectively 533 or 800 Mhz on most intel | 16:47 |
| Starnestommy | Warddr: there's usually no private info in syslog | 16:47 |
| ak5 | bcurtiswx, so the remote filesystems are mounted? | 16:47 |
| bcurtiswx | ak5, yes | 16:47 |
| DarkRainbow | I chooses the first alternative, and drags to around 80/20. Next, and then it starts partioning | 16:47 |
| DarkRainbow | But then i get error message and my hard drive is messed up | 16:47 |
| DarkRainbow | :( | 16:47 |
| bcurtiswx | ak5, does it matter if the directory im importing has the music in separate directories by album | 16:48 |
| airstrike | antic, i find nothing at /storage. when i try to access it, i get 'Transport endpoint is not connected'. unmounting /dev/sda5 gets me 'cannot create link /etc/mtab~'. | 16:48 |
| ak5 | bcurtiswx, not at all | 16:49 |
| mocie_girl | halo | 16:49 |
| ak5 | bcurtiswx, if they are mounted in gnome, every program should be able to read them as if they were local | 16:49 |
| mohbana | i can't stand this anymore seriously, i get random freezes i can't even press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE | 16:49 |

| AMDfanboy | hi, i'm trying to install proprietary canon printer drivers. they're RPMs, so i use alien. i'm using AMD64, and it complains, wants 32 bit. alien says this and dies, "dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386)" | 17:02 |
| no7up4u2 | lemme guess ... u move form 7.10 to 8.04 ?? good guess? | 17:02 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: lol.. ok.. Wednesday it was working, Thursday I installed virtualbox.. Friday morning wireless stopped | 17:02 |
| goose | what's a good GUI program to use for direct client-to-client webcam chat? | 17:02 |
| jrib | AMDfanboy: tried contacting canon? | 17:02 |
| gaintsura | no, I've been on 8.04 the whole time | 17:02 |
| craigc | Simonft, that was the identifier in my old (Working) xorg.conf | 17:02 |
| recon | What are the odds of "tr 1-26 a-z" working? | 17:02 |
| AMDfanboy | no, these drivers are really old | 17:02 |
| no7up4u2 | vituall box | 17:02 |
| AMDfanboy | i should do it though | 17:02 |
| AMDfanboy | but i dont figure they'd really do anything | 17:03 |
| no7up4u2 | i was having a similar issue wuith iut | 17:03 |
| jrib | AMDfanboy: and are you sure the printer doesn't "just work"? My canon set itself up when I plugged it in and turned it on | 17:03 |
| gaintsura | find a fix for it? | 17:03 |
| no7up4u2 | on the rt73 driver | 17:03 |
| Juan | i have a problem with multiple users, when i keep mine logged in and another user starts a session, it eventually kills the first one | 17:03 |

| malocite | Help! I just re-installed 8.04, now, I cannot remember how to mount another drive as a home directory, (and thats how I had it on 7.10) can someone direct me to some help? | 17:03 |
| AMDfanboy | i've read all the info on openprinting.org | 17:04 |
| no7up4u2 | dont quote me on this but it may work | 17:04 |
| AMDfanboy | apparently people are able to get these drivers to work | 17:04 |
| DarkRainbow | can someone please help me with gparted? | 17:04 |
| Simonft | craigc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638016 is this the problem? | 17:04 |
| goose | DarkRainbow, don't ask for help, just throw your question out | 17:04 |
| astro76 | malocite: you should have set it in the installer | 17:05 |

| AMDfanboy | jrib: its complaining about 64 bit, i guess theres gotta be a way to fool it into thinking its 32 bit? | 17:05 |
| malocite | Astro76: This is very true, although, not how I did it last time. I was also concerned that it would delete the files during the install | 17:05 |
| no7up4u2 | boot away son! hehe | 17:05 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| jrib | malocite: I have to go, but here's a summary: 1) reboot in recovery mode (thus you don't need /home) 2) mv /home /home2 3) mkdir /home 4) add the new partition to your fstab being mounted to /home 4) mount the new partition on /home (mount -a) 5) copy the contents of /home2 to /home (or move them). There is also some guide on the forums iirc with these steps | 17:05 |
| === paintba||er is now known as jk______________ | ||
| astro76 | malocite: nope, only the / partition must be formatted by the installer, you have to specifically tell it to format each partition ;) | 17:06 |
| DarkRainbow | Please? | 17:06 |
| malocite | jrib: thanks. do u have the link to the guide? | 17:06 |

| perlmonkey | does anyone know anything about laser printers? I'm trying to print an image (b&w 300dpi) on a HP LaserJet 2100 but it seems to be taking forever and is not printing.. I think this printer only has 4 or 6mb of memory..might not be enough? | 17:07 |
| malocite | jrib: thanks, appreciate it | 17:07 |
| jrib | AMDfanboy: if forcing it will break things and if there is a better way. man dpkg should tell you how to force it | 17:07 |
| craigc | Simonft, No not the same problem. I cant get out of low res mode. On boot up i have a grey box saying my video setting are wrong or something and asks if i want to change the settings or continue in low res mode | 17:08 |

| Dawson | Hey folks; just wondering if anyone knew of a .iso burner that has been tested and does the job well? Have burned a couple LiveCD's and they've all crashed on me? | 17:08 |
| perlmonkey | phew im not having much luck today | 17:08 |
| jrib | Dawson: burn at 2-4x | 17:08 |
| DarkRainbow | I understood now | 17:08 |
| craigc | Simonft, i am currently using the vesa drivers, although i have installed the nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers wizard type thing | 17:08 |
| DarkRainbow | What is the difference between Free space preceding and free space following? | 17:08 |
| Dawson | Jrib; Outdid you at 1x on the second try... | 17:08 |
| wirechief_intel | Dawson try imgburn (google for url) | 17:09 |
| perlmonkey | I'm trying to install Ubuntu from CD onto a laptop HDD and its taking like 3 hrs so far.. is that normal? each step (1-7) takes like 30 mins | 17:09 |
| Dawson | Wirechief, thanks for that. :-) | 17:09 |
| Starnestommy | DarkRainbow: preceding is before the partition; following is after it | 17:09 |
| jrib | Dawson: don't know then. The default burner that I get with right click -> burn to iso in ubuntu has always worked for me | 17:09 |
| craigc | the i installed nvidia-settings and when i try to run it it says i am not using the nvidia driver (Because the only way i can get to the desktop is in low res mode / vesa) | 17:09 |
| DarkRainbow | Do i need to have before/after? | 17:10 |
| legend2440 | DarkRainbow: you usually want free space after or following the data | 17:10 |

Now everytime I boot Ubuntu, the loading screen changes to the bootup commands for fsck for a short period to output some info about the deleted partition. Is not a usability issue, but a small annoyance. Anybody know how to fix it? I can post log output i | 17:16 |

| NeoGeo64 | apparently the person who wrote the formulas did some crazy msoffice coding and it broke when i tried using it in openoffice | 17:16 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, you have to remove the partition from /etc/fstab | 17:16 |
| astro76 | swegner: delete the corresponding line from /etc/fstab | 17:16 |
| Ashfire908 | !fstab | swegner | 17:16 |

| no7up4u2 | hey everyone dont listen to gaintsura :) oh btw im back :) | 17:25 |
| no7up4u2 | hehe | 17:26 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: mm, I don't see anything relevant in syslog. There is a subdirectory /var/log/fsck with 2 files, checkfs and checkroot. It's hard to say if either of them have any useful output, but I can paste if you'd like | 17:26 |
| aguitel | babolat: wap encription don't work with this chipset in hardy | 17:26 |
| Fructose | heymr: Well, I tried using it before... part of the problem is that I don't know how the hell to use Sound Recorder to test it | 17:26 |
| gaintsura | lol funny no7up4u2 | 17:26 |
| heymr | Fructose: why not use skype voice test? | 17:26 |
| Aalvarez | If I have a laptop with Hardy on it, and I would like it to NFS mount one set of directories when i'm at home (connected via wireless) and a different set of directories when i'm at work (also via wireless, if it matters) would I be able to set things up to do this automatically? | 17:26 |
| heymr | Fructose: um, you could install audacity... | 17:26 |
| babolat | aguitel: can you paste your iwconfig file? | 17:26 |
| Fructose | heymr: Tried that too, but takes longer | 17:26 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, i can't find it (i'm not the one with the fsck error :) ) but it's prob in messages, kern.log, or syslog (use the gnome or kde logviewer, it's easier | 17:26 |
| no7up4u2 | was uploading stuff to my site gaintsura , didnt mean to ditch yah! | 17:27 |
| Fructose | heymr: Also tried Audacity and it has as many options as Sound Recorder | 17:27 |
| ray_ | in ubuntu 7.10 only build i can use on a dell e1505 since 8 didnt get my wirteless to work how i turn off for whole systemm ivp6 | 17:27 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: I removed virtualbox-ose and its kernel module, but I still have a -386 kernel (which is something new) in Grub, but it does not boot | 17:27 |
| ray_ | i dont need it in usa? | 17:27 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: np, I know everyone is busy | 17:27 |
| ray_ | any one? | 17:27 |
| ray_ | :( | 17:27 |
| NeoGeo64 | Question - What FS does Ubuntu use by default? | 17:27 |
| heymr | Fructose: um.. in audacity you just hit r on your keyboard and start speaking. when you are done you hit space bar | 17:27 |
| aguitel | babolat: i am not with my wireless now | 17:27 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: also, when I boot into the -16-generic kernel, it still loads up vboxdrv and a few other virtualbox things | 17:27 |
| Starnestommy | NeoGeo64: ext3 | 17:27 |
| randal | how do you change what the start button looks like | 17:28 |
| astro76 | ray_: ipv6 is unrelated to your wireless problem | 17:28 |
| babolat | aguitel: ok. how do you know the issue is chipset-particular? | 17:28 |
| heymr | randal: in gconf-editor | 17:28 |
| NeoGeo64 | thank you Starnestommy | 17:28 |
| apocalypti | hey, i have a problem. im trying to set up a dual-monitor system (nvidia 6800 pci card and proprietary drivers). everything seems fine, but when i tell it to save to the x config file, it says unable to create new backup | 17:28 |
| Fructose | heymr: Well, no. There are a lot of recorder options in Preferences and the playback also fails. | 17:28 |
| no7up4u2 | hmmm u may want to edit ur grub but thats problem aside (easy fix) how the adapter reacting | 17:28 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, ok, you want it to stay after the grub is regenerated after a kernel upgrade? | 17:28 |
| exco | how can I stop my screen from fading out after like 15 minutes | 17:28 |
| heymr | randal: under apps > panel > and then one of the objects | 17:28 |
| Aalvarez | !equivalents | 17:28 |
| ubottu | A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 17:28 |
| randal | heymr how do i get there | 17:28 |
| ray_ | astro76 i know will use 7.10 since did fine my wireless how i turn it off ubuntu thinks i have ivp6 routor | 17:28 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: still no wireless... still get the same problem with sudo modprobe ath_pci | 17:28 |
| ray_ | thats why im asking !line | 17:28 |
| aguitel | babolat: because in feisty and in gutsy are many problem with it | 17:28 |
| ray_ | !ray line | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Factoid ray line not found | 17:29 |
| heymr | Fructose: you need it set to hw:0,0 for both playback and mic | 17:29 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908, I think, I want to try disabiling acpi, because someone thinks its causing my deadlocks | 17:29 |
| no7up4u2 | why are u loading it manually ? | 17:29 |
| ray_ | no to me | 17:29 |
| ray_ | ? | 17:29 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908, BTW, what is acpi? | 17:29 |
| randal | heymr: i cant find it | 17:29 |
| babolat | aguitel: right.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear confirms that.. one moment | 17:29 |
| heymr | randal: type "gconf-ed" in the gnome-terminal and hit tab, then hit enter | 17:29 |
| no7up4u2 | should load automaticly | 17:29 |
| aguitel | babolat: i change in hardy wep to wap | 17:29 |
| NeoGeo64 | that was weird. | 17:29 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: because its not loading it on its own | 17:29 |
| ray_ | no im trying to force it to use ivp4 | 17:29 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, it's a BIOS thing... | 17:29 |
| NeoGeo64 | everytime i would type a letter into xchat i got a console beep... then it went away... how annoying] | 17:29 |
| ray_ | cuz if i dont its slwo my internet down | 17:29 |
| Ashfire908 | !ACPI | matthew_ | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Factoid acpi not found | 17:29 |
| Ashfire908 | :( | 17:29 |
| Ashfire908 | !acpi | matthew_ | 17:29 |
| no7up4u2 | ok have u try ur network manager without it | 17:29 |
| randal | heymr: bash: gconf-ed: command not found | 17:30 |
| Ashfire908 | :-/ | 17:30 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908, I think its power managenment | 17:30 |
| Starnestommy | ray_: tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 ? | 17:30 |
| heymr | randal: did you hit TAB? | 17:30 |
| ray_ | no yes same thing thinks i have ipv6 still | 17:30 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, yeah | 17:30 |
| ray_ | o ok | 17:30 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: yes.. in the network manager it only shows the wired network, no wireless | 17:30 |
| ray_ | looks like page is slow to load | 17:30 |
| heymr | randal: or hit Alt-F2 and type in gconf-editor and hit enter | 17:30 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, for now, find the ubuntu boot option for standard boot | 17:30 |
| aguitel | babolat: the card is generic ,not netgear maker | 17:30 |
| matthew_ | so this line?: titleUbuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic | 17:30 |
| matthew_ | root(hd0,1) | 17:30 |
| matthew_ | kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=51e61ec1-33d6-49cc-8498-a183ebed395b ro quiet splash | 17:30 |
| babolat | aguitel: ok. that helps | 17:31 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, yes | 17:31 |
| no7up4u2 | ok long shout but try that, modprobe -r ath_pci than reload ur network /etc/init.d/networking restart than open up network manger an go manual | 17:31 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908: then do I just add "noacpi" to the end of it? | 17:31 |
| randal | heymr if i want to change it back hoow do i do that | 17:31 |
| Fructose | heymr: The recording device is hw: 0,0, but there's not even an option for playback device. | 17:31 |
| Ashfire908 | append " <your option here>" to the kernel line. | 17:31 |
| heymr | randal: are you even in gconf-editor yet? | 17:32 |
| randal | heymr: if i want to change it back can i | 17:32 |
| randal | heymr: ya | 17:32 |
| babolat | aguitel: did you try to apply fixes in gutsy? or did they work? | 17:32 |
| heymr | Fructose: well record and see if there is a wav image | 17:32 |
| randal | heymr: how do i change the pic | 17:32 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: gaintsura@TCI-DEV-UBUNTU:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:32 |
| gaintsura | * Reconfiguring network interfaces... [ OK ] | 17:32 |
| gaintsura | but still no wireless | 17:32 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, yes. (that's what i said) | 17:32 |
| ash1 | WeeChat uptime: 0 days 00:02:55, started on Sun May 11 17:26:20 2008 | 17:32 |
| heymr | randal: you are talking about the little icon next to "Applications..." right? the menu icon? | 17:32 |
| Fructose | heymr: There is one that looks like noise... seeing if I can save and play it now | 17:32 |
| no7up4u2 | okk | 17:32 |
| randal | ya | 17:33 |
| heymr | Fructose: looks like your mic works | 17:33 |
| aguitel | babolat: later when i am working with this chipset i return in the channel ,thankz | 17:33 |
| no7up4u2 | go in manual netwrok config an put wireless in Raoming mode | 17:33 |
| randal | i found the menu bar | 17:33 |
| randal | how do i change the pic | 17:33 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908: then do I have to update something? Cause the bootoptions page says that I need to do: sudo update-grub | 17:33 |
| babolat | aguitel: follow on this conversation if you haven't yet. then | 17:33 |
| babolat | http://www.debianhelp.org/node/3271 | 17:33 |
| randal | heymr: i found the menu bar how do i change the pic | 17:33 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, no, you don't if your just testing for now. | 17:33 |
| Fructose | heymr: NO it doesn't | 17:33 |
| heymr | randal: alright, in the object folder there should be some stuff about "custom-icon" and then you can set the path to the icon | 17:33 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: there is no wireless connnection in the manual network config | 17:33 |
| paulcross | Is there any English learning softwares available in ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| Fructose | heymr: It's just noise | 17:33 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908: what will doing update0grub do? | 17:34 |
| biouser | alright I just did automatic upgrade from 6.06->8.04, anyone want to place bets on how screwed my system is? | 17:34 |
| Fructose | heymr: I was speaking into it at the time | 17:34 |
| randal | heymr: i got it | 17:34 |
| no7up4u2 | k just reboot and paste ur dmesg in paste bin we'll go from ther | 17:34 |
| matthew_ | *update-grub | 17:34 |
| randal | heymr: now what | 17:34 |
| gaintsura | ok, brb | 17:34 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, later, you can append " noacpi" to the "# kopt=" line above | 17:34 |
| heymr | randal: i though you said you got it... | 17:34 |
| randal | heymr: how do you set the path | 17:34 |
| no7up4u2 | i should spit while he;s gona just to see the look on his face... nah im not htat mean | 17:34 |
| matthew_ | ashfire908: so I need to do the update thing if I do that, but not what I did just now right? | 17:34 |
| heymr | randal: where are you at? you need an image, then you give it the path, i.e.: /home/randal/Pictures/.start.jpg | 17:34 |
| biouser | I will tell you after I reboot (supposing that the system is not dead c:\.... | 17:34 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, it regenerates the automagic options using the settings above (# kopt and that stuff) | 17:34 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: I found what might be some useful output in messages. Pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11449/ | 17:35 |
| heymr | randal: in the options in the left, click one | 17:35 |
| randal | heymr: all i did was checked the box now what | 17:35 |
| heymr | randal: scroll up | 17:35 |
| heymr | randal: you should see something for the path | 17:35 |
| heymr | randal: the "use custom icon" uses the path in "path to custom icon" (i think thats what it is called) | 17:35 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, running it will remove and regenerate the automagic options (the ones in the ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST area) | 17:36 |

| Ashfire908 | J-Unit, Intrepid Ibex is 8.10, it's not out yet and pre-alpha. | 17:37 |
| Ashfire908 | matthew_, your welcome. | 17:37 |
| heymr | randal: you can make an image (22 by 22 works nice) with gimp :D | 17:37 |
| randal | hey,rit doesent ask me to find a pic for it | 17:37 |
| J-Unit | Ashfire908, ya but im just curious cuz i want some of my "ideas" to be in the new version | 17:37 |
| silverblade | whats with the .04 and .10 numbering scheme | 17:37 |
| aurel42 | Installing 8.04 from scratch on a new system, my Nvidia video card isn't recognized. "jockey-gtk -l" gives no result. What's the proper way to fix this manually? nvidia-xconfig? | 17:37 |

| ldiamond | Can any1 help me get my audio drivers working? | 17:38 |
| biouser | now to turn the restricted driver on xxxxxx | 17:38 |
| heymr | randal: scroll up!!! lol | 17:38 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: thanks. Do you want the WHOLE dmesg? | 17:38 |
| Aalvarez | If I have a laptop with Hardy on it, and I would like it to NFS mount one set of directories when i'm at home (connected via wireless) and a different set of directories when i'm at work (also via wireless, if it matters) would I be able to set things up to do this automatically? | 17:38 |
| Ashfire908 | J-Unit, ...yeah ask in #ubuntu+1. i don't know if it's in feature lock yet. | 17:38 |
| no7up4u2 | yeas plaese | 17:38 |

| no7up4u2 | wow cant type this morning | 17:38 |
| LtCmdrWrf | Hello | 17:38 |
| J-Unit | Ashfire908, well im gona go on the brainstorm site there | 17:38 |
| biouser | oooo, it asked me if I want to turn on the restricted driver... | 17:39 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: Thanks, take for time. It looks like perhaps it's not the old partition causing output, but perhaps sda2. sda2 is my root partition, formatted as ReiserFS. When I deleted the old JFS partition at sda1, I grew the sda2 partition to fill it's space. Would this cause some problems? | 17:39 |
| gaintsura | woooo had a windows moment... | 17:39 |
| randal | heymr: what is it called | 17:39 |
| biouser | one more reboot.. maybe this is werking | 17:39 |
| gaintsura | tried winkey+r 'firefox http://pastbin.com' | 17:39 |
| heymr | randal: dunno, I don't use gnome. nor ubuntu | 17:39 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, oh. | 17:39 |
| heymr | randal: lemme see...... | 17:40 |
| biouser | heymr, what do you use? | 17:40 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, i think i know your issue | 17:40 |

| gaintsura | no7up4u2: http://pastebin.com/d4636342c thats the WHOLE dmesg | 17:40 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, your UUID is off. | 17:40 |
| ldiamond | Can any1 tell me how to get my realtek hd audio codec working on Ubuntu? | 17:40 |
| heymr | biouser: archlinux and xmonad, a tiling window manager | 17:40 |
| no7up4u2 | gaintsura, k chkng | 17:40 |
| gaintsura | no7up4u2: if you find anything pm me, I'm gonna go try to give myself cancer | 17:41 |
| biouser | heymr: yeah, I've heard of xmonad | 17:41 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: Oh, well that sounds like an easy fix. Do you know how I can find the new UUID? | 17:41 |
| Ashfire908 | open a terminal and do "cd /dev/disk/by-uuid && ls -lA" | 17:41 |
| Ecne | wow, alot of people in here | 17:41 |

| oddie | Aalvarez: I think you may wanna check out automount | 17:42 |
| raul_ | ok i get this error when i update | 17:42 |
| Ecne | heymr: does arch have a website? | 17:42 |
| biouser | dapper->hardy looks successful, more successful than the other two recommended courses of upgrade... | 17:42 |
| andresj-cd | hello. I was wondering why, when I use the vesa driver, the fonts are smaller than when using the nvidia driver... | 17:42 |
| Wootie | Hello, I have anjuta installed, opened a c file, but wheres the option to compile it? :) | 17:42 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, then find the link going to /dev/sdb1 | 17:42 |
| heymr | Ecne: archlinux.org, but lets stay on topic, k ;) | 17:42 |
| erUSUL | andresj-cd: probably different dpi | 17:42 |
| andresj-cd | erUSUL: how do I fix it? | 17:42 |

| aurel42 | raul: go to medibuntu.org, follow the steps on the Howto page. | 17:43 |
| erUSUL | andresj-cd: well the nvidia driver has a "Dpi" option not sure about vesa | 17:43 |
| randal | heymr: so what do i do | 17:44 |
| aurel42 | raul_: there's a line starting with "wget" that you need to paste in the terminal window. | 17:44 |
| === hermes__ is now known as faust | ||
| Ashfire908 | swegner, if you don't know how, pastebin the command output. "cd /dev/disk/by-uuid && ls -lA" | 17:44 |
| andresj-cd | erUSUL: oh ok thanks :) where should I put Dpi? In the Device section? | 17:44 |
| no7up4u2 | gaintsura, u there | 17:44 |
| heymr | randal: google if you can't figure it out. it should be an obvious option... read all the things, are you sure you are editing the right object? | 17:44 |
| benchillin | yo I backed up my home directory before upgrading to 8.04 I want to know if I can restore my xchat settings by restoring the .xchat2 directory | 17:44 |
| raul_ | thanks | 17:44 |
| benchillin | is that possible? | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | andresj-cd: yep | 17:44 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: Yup, it looks like you were right; the UUID for sdb1 here differs from that in fstab. Can I just backup + update the fstab with this new UUID? | 17:44 |
| heymr | randal: again: Apps > gnome-panel > object# | 17:44 |
| lukehasnoname | bench: probably, esp. if the xchat version is same/similar | 17:44 |
| andresj-cd | erUSUL: do you know what would be a "default" DPI (to start from it)? | 17:44 |
| Ashfire908 | yes. | 17:45 |
| erUSUL | andresj-cd: the nvida driver is known to be a bit buggy with dpi i have mine setted to 96x96 | 17:45 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, yes | 17:45 |
| benchillin | lukehasnoname, so all configuration settings are stored in that folder and nowhere else? | 17:45 |
| aurel42 | rephrasing my request... Installing 8.04 from scratch on a new system, my Nvidia-based video card isn't recognized, probably because it's too fresh (it was released in April). "jockey-gtk -l" gives no result. What's the proper way to make jockey aware that I want to use the restricted nvidia driver? | 17:45 |

| Ashfire908 | swegner, every time you move or shift it, check the uuid | 17:45 |
| lukehasnoname | as far as I know, that's how it is. I don't know about xchat specifically, honestly | 17:45 |
| randal | heymr: cant find knome pannal | 17:45 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: cool, thanks for your help. Just out of curiosity, do you know why this would have changed? All of the partition changes I made were on sda, but it looks like sdb is off. | 17:45 |
| bonhoffer | anyone recommend a mail server for ubuntu | 17:45 |
| heymr | !google change gnome menu icon| randal | 17:45 |
| ubottu | heymr: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:46 |
| heymr | hahaha | 17:46 |
| heymr | randal google "change gnome menu icon" | 17:46 |
| aurel42 | raul_: still there? | 17:46 |
| DarkRainbow | An error ocurred when applying the changes to the devices | 17:46 |
| DarkRainbow | That happens when i tries to partion my disk | 17:46 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, you didn't touch sdb? | 17:46 |
| Crashed | !google php| crashed | 17:46 |
| benchillin | thank you lukehasnoname | 17:46 |
| lukehasnoname | np | 17:46 |
| bonhoffer | is postfix the best there is | 17:46 |
| Chipsa964 | how can i get ubuntu to recognize my PCI wireless internet adapter? | 17:47 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: Nope. | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: what chip does it uses? | 17:47 |
| Aalvarez | can I share a printer to a Windows machine via CUPS, or would I need to configure Samaba? | 17:47 |
| astro76 | Aalvarez: need samba | 17:47 |
| Chipsa964 | what brand you mean? | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | Aalvarez: you can do it with CUPS only via de IPP protocol | 17:47 |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaazz | /msg ubottu etiquette | 17:47 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: printer on Linux, Windows client needs to print? No problem at all. | 17:47 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, hmm *shrugs* don't know. | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: lspci | grep -i net | 17:47 |
| DarkRainbow | what is the difference between extended partition and primary? | 17:47 |
| Aalvarez | aurel42: yes, printer on Hardy, WinXP machine needs to print. | 17:48 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: Windows XP knows about IPP. | 17:48 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: it's the third option in the configuration dialog. :) | 17:48 |
| ubuntulover | jdfk | 17:48 |

| evilbug | how can i make Exaile my default media player? | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | DarkRainbow: a extendez partition is a spcial partition that can hold up to 63 logical partitions inside | 17:48 |
| bonhoffer | what is the easiest mail server to set up . . . | 17:48 |
| swegner | Ashfire908: Interesting. Perhaps I'll read into it later. For now I'm going to restart and make sure it worked out. Thanks again for your help. If you don't see me back here in 10 minutes, you can assume it worked. :) | 17:48 |
| Aalvarez | aurel42: which configuration dialog? | 17:48 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: put http://yourprintserver/printers/yourprintername there | 17:48 |
| DarkRainbow | What should i choose? | 17:48 |
| steph_ | is there a Code that resets everything in ubuntu | 17:48 |
| astro76 | DarkRainbow: practically almost nothing, an extended partition is a primary partition which contains other (logical) partitions, to get around the historical limit of 4 primary partitions | 17:48 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: the "add new printer" dialog in Windows | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | steph_: no | 17:48 |
| malocite | I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it | 17:48 |
| Ashfire908 | swegner, ok, bye :) | 17:49 |
| Aalvarez | aurel42: sounds good, I'll give it a try. Thanks. | 17:49 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: put http://yourprintserver:631/printers/yourprintername there (:631!!) | 17:49 |
| astro76 | DarkRainbow: if you don't already have an extended, it will gain you the most flexibility | 17:49 |
| leif | any one know if a creavtive live works in ubunto | 17:49 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: I forgot the port number in the first URL. | 17:49 |
| Aalvarez | thank you | 17:49 |
| DarkRainbow | Damn i just want to dualboot XP and LINUX!! | 17:49 |
| aurel42 | Aalvarez: not sure whether you need to tell Cups to accept connections from the windows machine. | 17:49 |
| steph_ | i cant acesses my pacage maneger | 17:49 |
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g wireless (rev 03) | 17:49 |
| astro76 | DarkRainbow: for dual boots I typically keep windows as a primary, and make the rest of the disk an extended | 17:50 |
| malocite | DarkRainbow: On the same drive? | 17:50 |
| erUSUL | Aalvarez: aurel42 System>Admin>Printers | 17:50 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: hahah...why??? | 17:50 |
| steph_ | iit show its opening at the botom but is dont open | 17:50 |
| Aalvarez | aurel42: I'll try it and find out. I've already gone into printers and told it to accept network jobs or whatever it was | 17:50 |
| astro76 | DarkRainbow: logical or primary, linux doesn't care | 17:50 |
| aurel42 | erUSUL: vi /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ;) | 17:50 |
| drmarwat | hello | 17:50 |
| DarkRainbow | Yes | 17:51 |
| DarkRainbow | On the same drive | 17:51 |
| DarkRainbow | But everytime i tries to partition i gets error | 17:51 |
| leif | is there a site where i can see if my creative card works on newest ubunto | 17:51 |
| aurel42 | Nobody present who digs "jockey"? | 17:51 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: dude, whats the error? | 17:51 |
| DarkRainbow | Dunno | 17:51 |
| DarkRainbow | But i saved the details in a html that i opens now | 17:51 |
| malocite | oic, can't you do that from within the 8.04 installer? I don't know myself, haven't used it | 17:51 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: so how do expect people to help you | 17:51 |
| drmarwat | would somebody guide me how can i get nvidia drivers for my gefroce fx 5600 card? the nvidia drivers from synaptic gives me resolution problem | 17:52 |
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, did that help? | 17:52 |
| poningru | grr | 17:52 |
| DarkRainbow | I think i found it | 17:52 |
| poningru | how does one put in the shconfig thing in Xorg.conf in hardy? | 17:52 |
| poningru | shconfig on | 17:52 |
| aurel42 | drmarwat: there's a tool to configure the restricted drivers, that should work with your card. It worked for me with older cards. | 17:52 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: yep; just have to check if hardy kernel comes with libertas driver | 17:52 |
| DarkRainbow | Opening /dev/sda1 as NTFS failed: Operation not supported. The TNFS journal file is unclean. Please shutdown windows propely before using this software | 17:52 |
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, oh ok | 17:52 |
| Dex-Freudii | how do I set up a script to be run every time Ubuntu starts? | 17:52 |
| DarkRainbow | NTFS journal* | 17:52 |
| astro76 | poningru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig | 17:53 |
| poningru | zank you\ | 17:53 |
| drmarwat | aurel42: i tried the one from ubuntu but i get errors | 17:53 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: yesp; «sudo modprobe libertas» | 17:53 |
| aurel42 | drmarwat: System / Adminstration / Hardware Drivers (aka jockey) | 17:53 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: that'd be the one... | 17:53 |
| Xanatos | sigh wubi still wont work | 17:53 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: are you following any online directions? | 17:53 |
| === yacc__ is now known as yacc | ||
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, ok, done | 17:53 |
| heymr | Xanatos: dual booting is so much better... :P, or install on a usb stick | 17:53 |
| drmarwat | aurel42: yes i did try that, im getting resolution of 800x600 | 17:53 |
| DarkRainbow | No | 17:54 |
| aurel42 | drmarwat: I'm the wrong person to help, though, I'm just here because jockey didn't work for me either. :) | 17:54 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: iwconfig shows a wireless interface ? | 17:54 |
| DarkRainbow | Im just running Ubuntu installer but gets an error | 17:54 |
| drmarwat | i want 1024x786 but it is not available | 17:54 |
| DarkRainbow | So i tried using LiveCD and then use Gparted | 17:54 |
| ubuntulover | i can't install ubuntu with wubi | 17:54 |
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, it says no wireless extensions | 17:54 |
| DarkRainbow | But then i get this error | 17:54 |
| astro76 | DarkRainbow: boot back into windows and let it check the disk, then shutdown properly | 17:54 |
| Xanatos | yeah heymr, would rather either of those.. might have to buy a usb stick | 17:54 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: but you have no clue what it was? | 17:54 |
| DarkRainbow | I did | 17:54 |
| Xanatos | cant repartition this PC | 17:54 |
| DarkRainbow | No | 17:54 |
| cr3 | is it just me or is the installed linux-image package for i386 and amd64 reported with the very same name by dpkg? | 17:54 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: are you in the Live CD now? | 17:54 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: can you paste "demsg | tail" | 17:55 |
| DarkRainbow | yea on the other computer;) | 17:55 |
| erUSUL | !pastebin | Chipsa964 | 17:55 |
| DarkRainbow | But now im shutting down that | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Chipsa964: 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) | 17:55 |
| DarkRainbow | Do fix windows | 17:55 |
| aurel42 | cr3: did you try dpkg ... | cat, so the name isn't truncated? ;) | 17:55 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: open a terminal first.... | 17:55 |
| DarkRainbow | just shut it down | 17:55 |
| DarkRainbow | Should i start it again? | 17:55 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: Alt+F2, gnome-terminal | 17:55 |
| cr3 | aurel42: COLUMNS=200 dpkg ... | 17:55 |
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, haha i dunno how cuz its on a different computer that cant connect to the internet to paste | 17:55 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: sure | 17:55 |
| linkmaster03 | How can I force quit a PID through terminal? | 17:55 |
| DarkRainbow | starting liveCD now | 17:56 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: well look at the output for any error | 17:56 |
| aurel42 | cr3: that's even nicer, doesn't waste a pid *g* | 17:56 |
| cr3 | aurel42: the name and the description on an amd64 installation shows no sign that the installed package is amd64 based | 17:56 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: kill -9 pid | 17:56 |
| heymr | linkmaster03: sudo apt-get install htop && htop, F9 to kill :D | 17:56 |
| Xanatos | the wubi installs fine, just gets up to formatting the swap disk after rebooting and it stalls.. | 17:56 |
| heymr | linkmaster03: or yeah.. that... | 17:56 |
| antic | linkmaster03: kill <pid>, kill -9 <pid> | 17:56 |
| DarkRainbow | loading ubuntu livecd.. | 17:56 |
| astro76 | linkmaster03: yeah try kill before kill -9 | 17:56 |
| Chipsa964 | erUSUL, it says bash: demsg: command not found | 17:56 |
| linkmaster03 | kill didnt work ill try kill -9 | 17:56 |
| aurel42 | Chipsa964: dmesg | 17:56 |
| heymr | linkmaster03: if you want to kill an x app, try xkill, then clicky | 17:56 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: is dmesg sorry | 17:56 |
| Chipsa964 | ok, now what am i looking for? | 17:57 |
| linkmaster03 | kill -9 didnt work :S | 17:57 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: linkmaster03 what are you trying to kill? | 17:57 |
| heymr | oh, a pid | 17:57 |
| DarkRainbow | ? | 17:57 |
| heymr | nm | 17:57 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: well there may be clues as how the libertas driver we loaded does not work ... | 17:57 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: sorry, @ some one else | 17:58 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: was there an error message? | 17:58 |
| aurel42 | last try before i fall back to nvidia-xconfig and fix the stuff it breaks manually: Installing 8.04 from scratch on a new system, my Nvidia-based video card isn't recognized, probably because it's too fresh (it was released in April). "jockey-gtk -l" gives no result. Is there a proper way to make jockey aware that I want to use the restricted nvidia driver? | 17:58 |
| DarkRainbow | Ok=) | 17:58 |
| linkmaster03 | dabaR no | 17:58 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: then its dead | 17:58 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: you have windows installed on this computer? | 17:59 |
| linkmaster03 | dabaR: its running in tty1, i cant execute commands from tty1 | 17:59 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: ps aux to see all processes. Or maybe, it could not be killed, actually I ran into that before. | 17:59 |
| DarkRainbow | Yes | 17:59 |
| chuy_max | hi, how can I check the md5sum of a CD, I tried md5sum -b scd0 but it has been calculating it for like 5 minutes without an end, it is a DVD and it is mounted if the info helps | 17:59 |
| DarkRainbow | On both | 17:59 |
| Chipsa964 | crap, i need to go afk for a sec, i need to go do somethin for my brother, ill be back | 17:59 |
| Chipsa964 | will you be here, erUSUL? | 17:59 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: paste output of ps aux to a pastebin, and link me here | 17:59 |
| DarkRainbow | LiveCD is up and running now what do do? | 17:59 |
| mlk | Anyone can tell me where all the mirrors for the GUI "Software Sources" are located? | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | Chipsa964: probably but i dunno | 18:00 |
| Chipsa964 | ok, thanks a lot | 18:00 |
| no7up4u2 | later all , good luck gaintsura my the packets be with you | 18:00 |
| RobbieRob | What is the command to refresh sound cache? Cause my sound goes out sometimes and it takes a reboot to get it working. | 18:00 |
| DarkRainbow | heymr; LiveCD started again | 18:00 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: ok | 18:00 |
| dabaR | mlk: probably the ubuntu web site can tell you where each of the mirrors is, which is probably not what you wanted to ask. | 18:00 |
| cr3 | crap there seems to be no way to determine whether the installed package are amd64 or i386 based on dpkg -l, I need to do dpkg --print-architecture or somesuch | 18:00 |
| linkmaster03 | wait | 18:00 |
| Exittor_ | i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive? | 18:00 |
| Exittor_ | whats wrong | 18:00 |
| odinsbane | Hello I upgraded to hardy and now totem's default color settings are all messed up. Is there a way to reconfigure this? | 18:00 |
| odinsbane | automatically. | 18:00 |
| tulpi | G'day! | 18:00 |
| linkmaster03 | dabaR: it says bash: kill: (7822) - Operation not permitted | 18:01 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: open a terminal, Apps. > Accesories > terminal | 18:01 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: then use sudo | 18:01 |
| yowshi | grrr stupid sounmd problems. i cant use vlc cause alsa broke i dont know how or why or how to fix it | 18:01 |
| DarkRainbow | Ok | 18:01 |
| tulpi | I'm having some trouble with audacityy and sound output? aannndy porientecrsor tdo icomnmgon problems? | 18:01 |
| Exittor_ | i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive. Whats wrong? | 18:01 |
| _urlwolf | how can you explain that the out put of whatsmyip.com is not the same as the ip shown in ifconfig? | 18:01 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: type fdisk -l to list the devices | 18:02 |
| Exittor_ | anyone? | 18:02 |
| ubuntulover | ok | 18:02 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: maybe you need to do it as root... sudo fdisk -l ? | 18:02 |
| DarkRainbow | nothing happens | 18:02 |
| linkmaster03 | thanks dabaR, cant believe i didnt do that lol. I had to restart bash in tty1 | 18:02 |
| DarkRainbow | yea maybe | 18:02 |
| heymr | Exittor_: just ask again | 18:02 |
| dabaR | yowshi: vlc does not oppen, or just no sound? | 18:02 |
| odinsbane | urlwolf whatsmyip.com gives you your real ip on the internet ifconfig gives you your local network ip | 18:02 |
| Exittor_ | i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive? | 18:02 |
| Dex-Freudii | how can I make a script to be run every time Ubuntu (re)starts?? | 18:02 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: you have some device doing NAT? a router or most dsl modems for instance ? | 18:02 |
| DarkRainbow | There | 18:03 |
| heymr | odinsbane: ho do you get a real IP from the terminal...? | 18:03 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: wouldn't a logout-login do that? | 18:03 |
| _urlwolf | yes, I'm using my home DSL | 18:03 |
| DarkRainbow | One device | 18:03 |
| linkmaster03 | dabaR: i dont know, probably lol | 18:03 |
| Exittor_ | i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive? whats is wrong? | 18:03 |
| yowshi | dabaR: just no sound | 18:03 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: ok, NTFS? | 18:03 |
| odinsbane | heymr you need to either get it from your router or an external site, your computer really doesn't know its ip. | 18:03 |
| hawkeyex | Dex: I wanna know that too - need to run xbindkeys manually everyt ime I reboot | 18:03 |
| dabaR | linkmaster03: it would certainly restart bash. | 18:03 |
| DarkRainbow | System: HPFS/NTFS | 18:03 |
| _urlwolf | astro76: Is there any way to know which IP is correct? | 18:03 |
| duffman75 | hi all ! is there a way to lock all the icons in the gnome-panel ? | 18:03 |
| dabaR | yowshi: did you check your sound mixer? | 18:03 |
| hawkeyex | or I don't get full mouse functuallity | 18:03 |
| heymr | Exittor_: maybe you neeed to install unrar | 18:03 |
| _urlwolf | I want to ssh into the box | 18:03 |
| DarkRainbow | urlwolf: Cmd = Internal IP | 18:03 |
| DarkRainbow | Whatismyip = External | 18:03 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: most DSL modems are actually "routers" also, you can hook up a switch and multiple computers without a separate router | 18:03 |
| houmala | Ijust installed 8.04 64 bit and have 4 GB of ram , why does "free" show only 3985108 instead of 4000000+ ??? | 18:04 |
| heymr | odinsbane: oh ok | 18:04 |
| odinsbane | _urlwolf ddclient can help you do something like that. | 18:04 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: they are both correct, one is external and one is internal | 18:04 |
| yowshi | dabaR: if you mean the sound preferences thing in system -> preferncexs menu then yes. alsa is busted when i try to test it there i get some resource busy error | 18:04 |
| _urlwolf | DarkRainbow: so? which ip do I use for ssh? | 18:04 |
| aurel42 | houmala: because you're running a 32 bit system and not all the RAM is addressable? Just guessing. | 18:04 |
| DarkRainbow | Dunno | 18:04 |
| DarkRainbow | I guess external | 18:04 |
| dabaR | yowshi: paste output of asound to a pastebin, if you don't mind. | 18:04 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: to ssh in from outside you use the external, but you also need to set a port forward in the modem | 18:04 |
| houmala | am running ubuntu 8.04 64 bit... | 18:05 |
| odinsbane | _urlwolf the ip that whatismyip gives you will go to the router. Then your router will have to forward that request to your computer, especially ssh. | 18:05 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: you should follow these instructions: (scroll like half way down) http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm | 18:05 |
| _urlwolf | damn | 18:05 |
| _urlwolf | sounds difficult | 18:05 |
| dabaR | yowshi: one sec, actually | 18:05 |
| DarkRainbow | Ok thank you VERY much<3 | 18:05 |
| yowshi | dabaR: i used the gui i dont know the cli to diagnose this | 18:05 |
| airstrike | when adding a line to /etc/fstab for a new partition on a hard drive, should i create a directory where that partition will be mounted? or will it mount AS a directory and therefore there shouldn't already be one? | 18:05 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: pretty simple usually, go to http://192.168.1.1 which is most likely the modem's internal address, and configure it there, checkout portforward.com if you need help | 18:05 |
| _urlwolf | so I need to play with the router's software? that doesn't sound like a viable optionss | 18:05 |
| tolecnal | houmala: probably because a 64bit computer uses far more memory to set up its internal registers than a 32bit system, as the addressing used in 64bit system takes up more space than on a 32bit system | 18:05 |
| aurel42 | airstrike: the dir needs to exist | 18:05 |
| _urlwolf | ISPs try hard so you actually can't | 18:05 |
| airstrike | ok, thanks | 18:06 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: did you back up that computer? | 18:06 |
| houmala | ok i can buy that..... | 18:06 |
| dabaR | yowshi: can you open a terminal, run the amixer command, and then paste the output to the pastebin? | 18:06 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: no, this is a common and desirable setup, so your internal computers are "firewalled" from the internet | 18:06 |
| tolecnal | houmala: you better, because it's the truth :) | 18:06 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: thats the best instructions on the web imo | 18:06 |
| airstrike | so '/dev/sda5/storagentfsdefaults02' and 'sudo mkdir /storage' should work, right? | 18:06 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: and you can hook up more than one | 18:06 |
| _urlwolf | yes, I do | 18:06 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: you can run the install now | 18:07 |
| _urlwolf | so, I need to give an IP to my sysadmin so he can ssh into my machine | 18:07 |
| yowshi | dabaR: whats the command ubuntu has to dump a commands output to pastebin? | 18:07 |
| DarkRainbow | heymr thx | 18:07 |
| _urlwolf | and I'm on one of those routers/modems that firewall you | 18:07 |
| DarkRainbow | Im trying installing now | 18:07 |
| heymr | DarkRainbow: the link covers if you screw up too. it will show you how to edit grubs menu.lst, but windows xp partition should show up. just resize it | 18:07 |
| === Joeb454_ is now known as Joeb454 | ||
| _urlwolf | using http://192.168.1.1/ returns nothing | 18:07 |

| heymr | DarkRainbow: if you like, you can find a windows application for partitioning like magicpartionar, and make a C drive and a D drive (unfoormatted) then in the install option just tell it to put it on the D drive (manual partitioning) you need a / (root) partition and a swap partition (1.5x the size of your RAM) | 18:09 |
| astro76 | _urlwolf: your ISP's website probably has documentation on this, as does portforward.com | 18:09 |

| _urlwolf | if internal, the one for windows or for linux? | 18:25 |
| X-Seti | I got a wintv, DVB tv turner working with my other comp, however when I plug it in this box I only get the dvb client come up on kaffein | 18:25 |
| yowshi | dabaR: right no sound from vlc with the ie958 thing muted | 18:25 |
| Dougi2 | seth1991, if you tell install to use the entire disk it probably would. | 18:26 |
| talon | hello, i have a panasonic vdr-d250 dvd camcorder and am having trouble getting ubuntu to read the disk. can anybody save me from throwing it all through windows? | 18:26 |
| DarkRainbow | Babolat: Nowhere. i gets error. | 18:26 |
| makaraki | Hi there people greetings form spain, so I want to ask for a little bit of help regarding tty acces with ubuntu, because when I press ctrl + F1 until 6 nothing works... | 18:26 |
| malocite | I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it Can someone please look at this line from fstab and tell me whats wrong with it? I got it from a guide | 18:26 |
| seth1991 | Dougi2: thanks | 18:26 |
| ljsoftnet | just played "Second Life" it worked great, but to slow for my graphics card how do i uninstall it? | 18:26 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: the one for linux if you want it for linux | 18:26 |
| babolat | DarkRainbow: can you shoot me that error prompt? | 18:26 |
| DarkRainbow | Its no text, babolat | 18:26 |
| seth1991 | is there anybody else that has installed on a laptop with a recovery partition automatically built in from the factory and had any problems? | 18:26 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: shouldn't that be alt + ctrl + number when you're in X? | 18:26 |
| DarkRainbow | Babolat: an error occured when writing to the devices. | 18:26 |
| DjViper | ljsoftnet: it worked great, but to slow... did it work great or not ?:P | 18:26 |
| yowshi | dabaR: i think this has more to do with the bfact i was fudging around trying to get voice to work in vlc and something uninstalled in alsa or something | 18:26 |
| saxofoner | ljsoftnet: if you installed it in wine, you can uninstall it through the wine menu | 18:27 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: your router usually assigns your computer a LAN IP every time you connect to it unless you tell it otherwise | 18:27 |
| _urlwolf | yes | 18:27 |
| jaffarkelshac | "Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options." i get this error when i try to use usb in virtualbox any help | 18:27 |
| makaraki | hi aurel42, sorry for not type it correctly but I did as you say | 18:27 |
| pubo | hi | 18:27 |
| malocite | pretty pretty please, I know this must be an easy thing, and I just a doof | 18:27 |
| Dougi2 | whats the command to configure xorg? | 18:27 |
| wakka-wakka | malocite: it's alright. so since it's already backed up, is there a way i could go ahead and overwrite that file? | 18:27 |
| ljsoftnet | DjViper it was just to slow for my graphics card so i decided to uninstall it | 18:27 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: pardon, shouldn't that be alt + ctrl + F<number> when you're in X? | 18:27 |
| babolat | DarkRainbow: hmm.. have you had any experience of your HD failing? might be due to age, or failing heads | 18:27 |
| AMDfanboy | i want to alien a 32bit rpm, and it complains that i'm running amd64. can i fool it into thinking i'm in 32 bits? | 18:27 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: then you put in whatever it assigned you into the LAN IP slot of virtual servers | 18:27 |
| malocite | wakka-wakka: there is a way (and I cannot recall how) to use the DEFAULT xorg.conf file if you totally mess it up. | 18:27 |
| pubo | can anyone help me with a shell script? Is there a dedicated channel?? | 18:27 |
| ljsoftnet | saxofoner i got it from getdeb.net from secondlife.deb | 18:27 |
| malocite | google RESTORE ORIGINAL xorg.conf | 18:27 |
| malocite | it'll probabbly tell you | 18:27 |
| makaraki | hi aurel42 I did it, but I worte it wrong in my first question | 18:28 |
| DarkRainbow | babolat: Nope | 18:28 |
| malocite | pubo: For what shell? | 18:28 |
| _urlwolf | but it's different; for windows it's one, for linux is 192.168.11.1 | 18:28 |
| saxofoner | ljsoftnet: where did it install? | 18:28 |
| saxofoner | there might be an uninstall script in that dir | 18:28 |
| DjViper | malocite: don't tell people to google it... if you don't know the answer, don't answer | 18:28 |
| pubo | malocite, bash | 18:28 |
| lucas_ | anyway to do videocalls with amsn? like video and audio? | 18:28 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: just noticed that I only get pitch black consoles on my notebook, too. :) | 18:28 |
| _urlwolf | linux is virtualized on top of windows, so I may need to forward ports on windows too | 18:28 |
| ljsoftnet | saxofoner i have no idea | 18:28 |
| malocite | pubo: Bash | 18:28 |
| dabaR | yowshi: sorry, I do not have other ideas. | 18:28 |
| malocite | Djviper: I think you didn't read the first half of our conversation, | 18:28 |
| babolat | ok, DarkRainbow.. are you on live cd now? | 18:28 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: aaah right, you might have to do both | 18:28 |
| _urlwolf | damn | 18:29 |
| makaraki | aurel42, when I am in X server and I press ctrl+ alt + F whatever except F7 I got a black screen | 18:29 |
| pubo | malocite, can I query you? | 18:29 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: i'm not familiar with the way that works | 18:29 |
| malocite | pubo: #Bash | 18:29 |
| rafaelcosta | Peoples, how run mysql server in UBUNTU OS? | 18:29 |
| DarkRainbow | babolot: on one pc | 18:29 |
| _urlwolf | I have no idea how to forward ports on windows | 18:29 |
| DarkRainbow | but | 18:29 |
| Dougi2 | Anyone? The command to configure xorg from the command line? I can't remember now i thought it was something like x1186config or something | 18:29 |
| DarkRainbow | gtg | 18:29 |
| DarkRainbow | cyall | 18:29 |
| pubo | malocite, oki, thanks | 18:29 |
| FloodBot2 | DarkRainbow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:29 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: though likely.. the linux one will suffice | 18:29 |
| malocite | pubo: Np, they're pretty nice, they helped me | 18:29 |
| rutgermasi | rafaelcosta: just apt-get install mysql-server | 18:29 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: same here, possibly a "feature" of the restricted nvidia driver? | 18:29 |
| _urlwolf | Port forwarding on | 18:29 |
| _urlwolf | windows is a feature of ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) | 18:29 |
| babolat | ay't DarkRainbow | 18:29 |
| makaraki | so it means that is a normal bas working behavior maybe? :-P | 18:29 |
| nikitis | Question: I just bought a new HP Printer, and it's one of those 3-in-1 Printers that copy's, scans, and prints. Is there a built in way to use the Scanner? or do I need some software, and if i need software what's some good ones? | 18:30 |
| babolat | you might find better luck at #ubuntu-server, rafaelcosta | 18:30 |
| rutgermasi | nikitis: use xsane | 18:30 |
| makaraki | mmmmmmmmm in my case I own an ATI but well it looks strange anyway | 18:30 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: you port forward on the router, the router sends your data to the proper IP, your linux/windows dont get involved.. except to recieve the end data | 18:30 |
| lucas_ | does anyone knows programs to chat through msn network using video and audio??? | 18:30 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:nice | 18:30 |
| makaraki | aurel42: mmmmmmmmm in my case I own an ATI but well it looks strange anyway | 18:30 |
| RainCT | lucas_: I think amsn has at least audio support | 18:30 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: I can see getty running, so it's definitely supposed to work. No idea why it doesn't. | 18:30 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:unfortunately, it doesn't work | 18:30 |
| malocite | lucas_: I know that pidgin does NOT support it and according to their site they do not expect to any time soon, I think you can use Skype for that however, but not on MSN | 18:30 |
| ian_` | is their a way to copy tjhe permissions of a folder and apply it to a file, with one command? | 18:31 |
| _urlwolf | router says: LAN IN address error | 18:31 |
| dabaR | ian_`: a file in a folder? | 18:31 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: did you set it to linux or windows address? | 18:31 |
| Dougi2 | or maybe its ./configure xorg or something... | 18:31 |
| malocite | I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it | 18:31 |
| ian_` | dabaR, Yep | 18:31 |
| dabaR | ian_`: to all files within a folder? | 18:31 |
| lucas_ | amsn doesnt do it | 18:31 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:to linux | 18:31 |
| ian_` | dabaR, yea | 18:31 |
| makaraki | aurel42: Ok thank for your support I will look forward and investigate a little bit on it :) | 18:31 |
| malocite | Pretty pretty pretty please.... :) | 18:31 |
| lucas_ | thanks people | 18:31 |
| Kirce | dose anyone know how to network a cd rom drive ? | 18:31 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: good luck! | 18:32 |
| rutgermasi | chmod -R permissions /path/to/folder | 18:32 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: ok that makes a bit of sense now, change the address to windows | 18:32 |
| talon | hello, does anyone know how to get ubuntu to read a udf video file? | 18:32 |
| makaraki | aurel42: It looks that it only appears tty when I shift to runlevel 3 | 18:32 |
| dabaR | ian_`: well, chmod 775 /var/www would apply only to the folder, and chmod -R /var/www would apply to the folder, and all files in it. | 18:32 |
| ian_` | dabaR, rgr. ty | 18:32 |
| makaraki | talon did you try mplayer? | 18:32 |
| aurel42 | ian_`: if I understand the question, "man chown" will tell you about "--reference=<FILE>". | 18:33 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:Now it doesnt complain | 18:33 |
| ian_` | aurel42, kk | 18:33 |
| talon | makaraki, no the disk is showing up as blank | 18:33 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: in theory it should be ported now.. if windows doesnt interfere.. dont have much experience in the virtualised area | 18:34 |
| Chipsa964 | aurel42, can you help me with my previous problem with the wireless adapter? | 18:34 |
| rutgermasi | talon: maybe it is a protected disk? | 18:34 |
| makaraki | Hi there people anybody knows how to avoid the problem of non working tty consoles on laptops? | 18:34 |
| Chipsa964 | i dont think erUSUL is here any more | 18:34 |
| node357 | Dougi2, I think it's: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 18:34 |
| aurel42 | Chipsa964: sorry, I don't use wireless for religious reasons. | 18:34 |
| Chipsa964 | haha | 18:34 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:success | 18:34 |
| Chipsa964 | i can understand that | 18:34 |
| Dougi2 | thats it thanks! | 18:34 |
| node357 | yay | 18:35 |
| _urlwolf | just used putty to log to my virtualized linux :) | 18:35 |
| _urlwolf | on the same box :) | 18:35 |
| Chipsa964 | however, sometimes it is a lot more practical than wired | 18:35 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos: thanks so much | 18:35 |
| talon | rutgermasi:ill just check... | 18:35 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: awesome! wasnt sure if that'd work | 18:35 |
| aurel42 | Chipsa964: sometimes it's less secure that wired. ;) | 18:35 |
| _urlwolf | so now, do I give my external address to my sysadmin so he can log into my machine? | 18:35 |
| Chipsa964 | agreed | 18:35 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: yes, the one on your router | 18:35 |
| _urlwolf | or the internal (windows one, that is in the V server) | 18:35 |
| Chipsa964 | but theres no way i can run wires across my house | 18:35 |
| dabaR | makaraki: you press alt+ctrl+fX, and you do not get a console? | 18:36 |
| Chipsa964 | id need hundreds of feet of wire | 18:36 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: he has to connect to your router's IP, and then the router redirects his data to your box | 18:36 |
| _urlwolf | the one in my router means external (whatsmyip.com) or internal (the one I placed in the V server?) | 18:36 |
| makaraki | dabaR : right no way only black screens | 18:36 |
| malocite | I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it - Please pleae | 18:36 |
| aurel42 | dabaR: me neither, just a black screen (only on my notebook, works fine on the desktop machine) | 18:36 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: external | 18:36 |
| rutgermasi | _urlwolf: internal | 18:36 |
| _urlwolf | great | 18:36 |
| dabaR | makaraki: and are their processes running? | 18:36 |
| Dougi2 | node357, ok thats not giving me resolution options...hmm | 18:36 |
| _urlwolf | guys, agree first :) | 18:36 |
| aurel42 | malocite: how do you mount it manually? | 18:37 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: its external in this case :P | 18:37 |
| _urlwolf | I vote external | 18:37 |
| aurel42 | malocite: "mount /home" (no further arguments) does what you want? | 18:37 |
| malocite | aurel42: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home | 18:37 |
| Dougi2 | just do it manually I suppose lol | 18:37 |
| Xanatos | if hes connecting from outsede the network | 18:37 |
| _urlwolf | let me try with a third laptop :) | 18:37 |
| malocite | yup | 18:37 |
| aurel42 | malocite: does "sudo mount /home" / "sudo mount /dev/sda1" work, too? (only one argument, not two) | 18:38 |
| makaraki | dabaR: it looks so | 18:38 |
| ljsoftnet | i got "Second Life" in getdeb.net, the game worked fine, but the graphics is just to slow for my graphics card, so i decided to uninstall it, How do i uninstall it? __________________ | 18:38 |
| dabaR | makaraki: it is a problem with console resolution, perhaps. | 18:38 |
| aurel42 | malocite: if that works, it would indicate that the line in fstab is correct. | 18:38 |
| machetie | has anyone setup file share on hardy desk yet | 18:38 |
| aurel42 | makaraki: I noticed that the consoles are not using the normal VGA text mode. Looks like they use the FB stuff. Perhaps that's the problem. | 18:39 |
| perlmonkey | sheesh is it normal for Ubuntu 8.04 to take THREE HOURS to get to stage 3 of 7 on the install? | 18:39 |
| Kirce | is there a GUI for samba? | 18:39 |
| malocite | aurel42: if I type sudo mount home - I get unrecognized mount option "0" | 18:39 |
| makaraki | dabaR: Do you know which config file do I have to modify | 18:39 |
| dabaR | ljsoftnet: is it in your pacmkage manager's package list? | 18:39 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:note that the IP I placed on the virtualized server was the one my ethernet cable provided | 18:39 |
| perlmonkey | this is incredibly slow, slowest Linux I ever installed | 18:39 |
| aurel42 | malocite: there you go, that's a typo in your line in fstab. recheck. | 18:39 |
| dabaR | !xorg.conf > makaraki | 18:39 |
| c-ron | what is the best plugin for playing streaming wmv in firefox? | 18:39 |
| _urlwolf | If I move my laptop, I'll use the wireless, and will probably get a different IP, right? | 18:39 |
| dabaR | makaraki: I am quite sure it was that one when I had to modify it. | 18:39 |
| danbhfive | !medibuntu > c-ron | 18:39 |
| malocite | aurel42: Are you guys talking about the CTRL ALT F2 not working in ubuntu giving you only a black screen? | 18:39 |
| schnauzer | @perlmonkey - Server took that long om my 133Mhz laptop for the entire install. | 18:39 |
| dabaR | makaraki: but, you may be best off to try to google for it a bit too. | 18:39 |
| aurel42 | malocite: indeed | 18:40 |
| perlmonkey | phew | 18:40 |
| hostvik | hi | 18:40 |
| perlmonkey | the cd seems incredibly slow to read | 18:40 |
| makaraki | dabaR: I tried and I will do it again | 18:40 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: likely you will, maybe you wont, if it changes just change the IP address in virtual servers to your new one | 18:40 |
| ljsoftnet | dabaR yes, i can see the secondlife-install in synaptic package manager | 18:40 |
| schnauzer | Perlmonkey: what kind of machine are u using? | 18:40 |
| _urlwolf | right | 18:40 |
| === b0ha is now known as b00ha | ||
| dabaR | ljsoftnet: is it possible to uninstall it there? | 18:40 |
| malocite | aurel42: I had that problem on my 7.1 on this machine, and I still have it on another, is there a solution to that? | 18:40 |
| _urlwolf | well, I tested it, and it's the EXternal address that works for ssh now | 18:41 |
| perlmonkey | shnauzer: im installing it on a Toshiba Tecra laptop P3-933 with 256mb | 18:41 |
| ljsoftnet | dabaR i don't know | 18:41 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: so it works? | 18:41 |
| talon | rutgermasi: the disk is from a camcorder so am just finalizing the disk to check | 18:41 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:it does | 18:41 |
| aurel42 | malocite: I wish I knew. | 18:41 |
| Xanatos | awesome | 18:41 |
| cyka | ok i have a silly question | 18:41 |
| cyka | but | 18:41 |
| cyka | why the hell will no pop mail server work for me? | 18:41 |
| dabaR | ljsoftnet: so try. | 18:41 |
| danbhfive | !enter | cyka | 18:41 |
| ubottu | cyka: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:41 |
| Xanatos | awesome | 18:41 |
| cyka | evolution jsut keeps giving me invalid password back | 18:42 |
| cyka | when it's not | 18:42 |
| malocite | aurel42: Do you even know what the problem is called? I tried googling everying and couldn't even find it refferenced, but every once in a while I hear it mentioned here | 18:42 |
| pietro | help removing metapackage ubuntu-desktop??? | 18:42 |
| ljsoftnet | dabaR i'm afraid something might go wrong, because it is just the install file | 18:42 |
| cyka | join #evolution | 18:42 |
| dabaR | makaraki: ca you paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:42 |
| aurel42 | malocite: "black console" would be a nice name for it. ;) | 18:43 |
| belor1 | Whats a Good Virus scanner for ubuntu | 18:43 |
| cyka | ok so it doesn't exsist | 18:43 |
| dabaR | ljsoftnet: OK, well, no pain no gain:-) your choice. | 18:43 |
| _urlwolf | Xanatos:ok, now there's a problem | 18:43 |
| schnauzer | perlmonkey: hmm... can't think of anything that might be slowing you down, except a bad CD drive. | 18:43 |
| bill_raise | you have Clamav | 18:43 |
| rutgermasi | belor1: you just dont need an antivirus scanner, just be sure what you are downloading | 18:43 |
| malocite | aurel42: Ok, that mount point now works. When I login: I get this error : Users $home/.dmrc is being ignored, this prevents the default session and language from being saved file should be owned by user and 644 permissions users home directory must be owned by user and not writeable by others.... how do I do that? | 18:43 |
| dabaR | pietro: what help is necessary for tghat | 18:43 |
| _urlwolf | my wireless adapter has an address that conflicts with my ethernet adapter | 18:43 |
| alen | hi can someone help me with nvida drvier for ubuntu 8.04 | 18:43 |
| perlmonkey | schnauzer: damn, maybe that's it then | 18:43 |
| _urlwolf | I cannot forward both IPs (100, and 102 respectively) | 18:43 |
| schnauzer | Try a different disc? | 18:43 |
| malocite | aurel42: Wow... black console... seems too easy :) Too obvious, never thought of that | 18:44 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf: disable one | 18:44 |
| rutgermasi | alen: did you try system->administration->hardware drivers? | 18:44 |
| Xanatos | like on your windows pc, disable your ethernet connection temporarily | 18:44 |
| belor1 | rutgermasi, i want to scan my windows partition, and you can get a virus just by going to a websiute and it autodownling not buy downloading | 18:44 |
| Xanatos | orr | 18:44 |
| Xanatos | just choose one | 18:44 |
| Xanatos | and port forward to that | 18:44 |
| rutgermasi | belor1: that is NOT possible | 18:44 |
| Tu13es | I'm trying to chroot a partition that doesnt have zsh installed and am getting "chroot: cannot run command '/bin/zsh': No such file or directory" | 18:44 |
| belor1 | !antivirus | 18:44 |
| ubottu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 18:44 |
| Tu13es | any ideas? | 18:44 |
| sigmabetatooth | exit | 18:44 |
| alen | yes | 18:44 |
| NeoGeo64 | Linux doesn't get viruses | 18:45 |
| void^ | Tu13es: chroot /foo /bin/sh | 18:45 |
| mohbana | hi, how i manually install the nvidia 169.09 drivers? | 18:45 |
| Xanatos | ffs i've run this C:\ubuntu\disks\swap.disk through jkdefrag 3 times and its still partially fragmented | 18:45 |
| rutgermasi | NeoGeo64: Linux CAN get virusses, but virusses can't be root if you aren't root, so they have less permissions and can't harm your system | 18:45 |
| aurel42 | mohbana: now that's exactly my problem, too. I can tell you how it works for me, but I'm not sure it's the proper way. :) | 18:46 |
| belor1 | !aegis | 18:46 |
| ubottu | Factoid aegis not found | 18:46 |
| mohbana | aurel42: please help | 18:46 |
| DRebellion | rutgermasi, NeoGeo64, what is more valuable to you? Your operating system, which can be reinstalled in ~2 hours, or a lifetime of work and files in /home? | 18:46 |
| aurel42 | mohbana: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new && sudo nvidia-xconfig | 18:46 |
| white_eagle | what package do I need to have installed so I could configure the looks of qt4 apps? (like opera etc.) | 18:46 |
| _urlwolf_ | Xanatos: this is fantastic | 18:46 |
| _urlwolf_ | everything works | 18:46 |
| rutgermasi | DRebellion: what do you mean? | 18:46 |
| lucas_ | how can i configure my remote control?? i got a hp pavilion... | 18:46 |
| _urlwolf_ | I'm on wireless, and ssh works | 18:47 |
| sbeh | hm, after every reboot my ethernet-device names eth<lastnumber+1>, what can be the reason? | 18:47 |
| mohbana | aurel42: 169.12 the version in the repo crashes my system so frequently it's unusable | 18:47 |
| _urlwolf_ | You have no idea how important this is for me | 18:47 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf_: brilliant | 18:47 |

| DRebellion | rutgermasi, even if the virus only has your user permissions, it can still delete all of your files... | 18:47 |
| _urlwolf_ | Xanatos: thanks a lot | 18:47 |
| goodtimes | how can I make an exact copy of my root partition, keeping the permissions and everything intact? | 18:47 |
| aurel42 | mohbana: there's also nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy, IIRC. | 18:47 |
| lucas_ | ok thanks | 18:47 |
| Xanatos | _urlwolf_: no prob | 18:47 |
| AfterDea1h | so, I'm upgrading to Hardy Heron and keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't break my cryptroot | 18:47 |
| aurel42 | mohbana: they refer to older versions of the drivers. | 18:47 |
| rutgermasi | DRebellion: yes, but most of the programmes on linux are in repos, so less chance for virusses | 18:47 |
| nikitis | mohbana, compile it manually then or use envy | 18:47 |
| DRebellion | goodtimes, sudo dd if=/dev/<drive> of=file.iso | 18:48 |
| aurel42 | rutgermasi: unless a repository is hacked, like Debian's in... uhm... 2005? | 18:48 |
| DRebellion | goodtimes, actually, it won't be an iso :P | 18:48 |
| mohbana | nikitis: i've tried that, it simply doesn't work, the same procedure i carried out on gusty failed to work on hardy | 18:48 |
| askand | Is someone in here able to make a picture of a face, in pngformat, less than 720 bytes big and still be able to see who is on the picture? | 18:48 |
| rutgermasi | aurel42: it's still much safer, programmes in repos | 18:48 |
| mohbana | now i'd like to uninstall the one i compiled, if that's possible | 18:49 |
| goodtimes | DRebellion: so when I want to restore this do I just do the opposite for if and of? | 18:49 |
| aurel42 | rutgermasi: it is, but I find it very doubtful to tell people "you don't need virus protection on Linux". | 18:49 |
| mohbana | aurel42: do you have compiz enabled? | 18:49 |
| DRebellion | goodtimes, yep (after booting off a livecd, so the root partition isn't mounted) | 18:49 |
| aurel42 | rutgermasi: I could live with "you don't need virus protection on Linux YET, if you're very careful" ;) | 18:49 |
| goodtimes | thank you | 18:49 |
| aurel42 | mohbana: yes | 18:49 |
| * aurel42 can't live without eye-candy. | 18:49 | |
| mohbana | aurel42: do you ever get total system lockups? | 18:49 |
| denver | how do i change the version in xchat so it won't say xchat 2.8.4 Ubuntu | 18:50 |
| rutgermasi | aurel42: I said you don't need it IF you know what you are downloading, linux has less exploits and less virusses, but stop the disuccsion about virusses :P | 18:50 |
| aurel42 | mohbana: never, or I wouldn't be using the system. I'm a sucker for stability. | 18:50 |
| * schnauzer can't either ;) | 18:50 | |
| mohbana | right thanks | 18:50 |

| gaintsura | how do I copy my thunderbird settings (folders,tags, etc) from windows to ubuntu? I've tried the walkthroughs on the net, but they didnt work | 18:51 |

| belor1 | !linuxvirus | belor1 | 18:52 |

| aurel42 | jgoo: btw, I like rsync when working with folders or multiple files. | 19:17 |
| busta5000 | ok machetie ff how can I connect to the wireless | 19:17 |
| talon | Byron1: i got my smiley wrong | 19:17 |
| jgoo | beli, yes interactive mode, so I don't type scp.... a million times :) | 19:18 |
| machetie | whats ur wifi card | 19:18 |
| chris_420 | or do you supposed i could use mindi to make it happen? | 19:18 |
| aurel42 | jgoo: sftpd is just part of ssh, no need to set up anything, perhaps one line in sshd_config | 19:18 |
| gaintsura | anyone know why thunderbird says its running, when its really not? | 19:18 |
| busta5000 | I do not have a wifi card I have an adapter | 19:18 |
| jgoo | aurel42, this is for a remote jetty server... perhaps this is a good idea... which is the most rebust, clean, solution? | 19:18 |
| jgoo | aurel42, so it works over ssh? | 19:18 |
| beli | jgoo: yes...check your sshd_config...sftp is just included | 19:18 |
| busta5000 | an external adapter | 19:18 |
| machetie | what brand is it | 19:18 |
| * jgoo is full over wonderment | 19:18 | |
| busta5000 | it is linksys | 19:18 |
| aurel42 | jgoo, yes, sftp is just a feature of ssh. If you prefer a GUI, have a look at Unison. | 19:18 |
| martiner__ | TOMCAT&JAVA PROBLEM ..please help | 19:18 |
| machetie | model | 19:19 |
| aurel42 | jgoo, unison uses ssh, too. | 19:19 |

| therion | gdebi-kde doesn't install any deb package and do always in crash... how i can resolve this problem? | 19:19 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, cos it is running, open a terminal and type "top" then press the letter "u" then type your username - you can then type "k" and kill your instances of thunderbird by putting in the numbers on the left hand side of the screen | 19:19 |
| machetie | yeah any specific model | 19:19 |
| beli | jgoo: what do you want to do? lemme ask this first ;) | 19:19 |
| niteye | the "recovery mode" in GRUB does NOT ask ANY password to gain a ROOT SHELL. is this a bug? how do i fix this? | 19:19 |

| airstrike | anyone got any experience with VLC? | 19:20 |
| aurel42 | jgoo: Holy file transfer, Batgoo!! | 19:20 |
| ompaul | niteye, no it is not - you can add passwords to grub but that is generally considered a "bad idea" | 19:20 |
| jgoo | beli: just manage a jetty install, which is mirrored on my stage jetty install here at office (mirrored in a non technical sense... i.e. I write crap here and send it there() | 19:20 |

| niteye | what is the point of passwords if you can simply gain root access by doing "recovery mode" ? | 19:20 |
| Parsec300 | Is there anyone that has the sleep button when they log out? | 19:20 |
| jgoo | aurel42, at the risk of OT - new joker looks insanely awesome | 19:20 |

| aurel42 | niteye: consider encrypting the hard disk | 19:21 |
| benanzo | niteye: not a bug | 19:21 |
| niteye | i cant encrypt the root partition because then wakeonlan will no longer work | 19:21 |

| machetie | ok one sec | 19:22 |
| aurel42 | niteye: I guess you need to address the underlying kernel issue then, because as long as you can edit the boot parameters, you can always use init=/bin/bash to get around any passwords. | 19:22 |
| benanzo | niteye: give root a password then | 19:22 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, mozilla-thunder | 19:22 |
| gaintsura | nope | 19:22 |

| jgoo | beli, aurel42 - I will try rsync / unison - for now, sftp... nautilus and gftp don't support it? is unison the only sftp client? | 19:24 |
| niteye | i tried this once, and autoupdate etc. broke, because ubuntu isnt designed to have a root password apparently, and uses sudo with users in the admin group instead | 19:24 |

| ffm_ | benanzo, no... | 19:25 |
| benanzo | That's perfectly fine | 19:25 |
| aurel42 | airstrike: you should switch to a text console, you get back with alt + f7 | 19:25 |

| jjt009 | anyone know? | 19:25 |
| airstrike | thanks, i've always wondered how to get back | 19:25 |

| niteye | so it is possible to password only a few entries of grub? (not a password needed to boot the entire thing) | 19:30 |
| ak5 | um, is the latest version of fluxbuntu 7.10 ? | 19:30 |
| Byron1 | Anyone have issues with partitions while trying to upgrade? | 19:30 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ what error do you get when trying to mount? | 19:30 |
| benanzo | that's not the same thing though | 19:30 |
| umer | hey guys, i have a problem, on my top menu bar there are little black specs/dashes, heres a picture of it http://img399.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blackspotszn4.jpg can someone help me get rid of them, they just appeared recently | 19:30 |
| busta5000 | maxhite for which release I download | 19:30 |
| mattva01 | ak5: yes | 19:30 |
| ompaul | benanzo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7353 | 19:30 |
| ffm_ | mattva01, nasty, isn't it? I thought you were going to hardy, | 19:30 |
| busta5000 | there r so many | 19:30 |
| niteye | like for example if you have ubuntu, ubuntu recover mode, and XP, have it only ask a pasword when booting recover mode, is this possible? | 19:30 |
| ak5 | mattva01, :( when does 8.04 come out? | 19:30 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 19:31 |
| negge | ak5 it's out long time ago | 19:31 |
| rutgermasi | 8.04 is out already | 19:31 |
| iXneonXi | mattva01, please elaborate. which clients are booting one at a time? are you using a network? | 19:31 |
| ak5 | fluxbuntu? | 19:31 |
| jgoo | aurel42, ok, I typed the sftp url into nautilus, because I found out you can do that (even though SFTP isn't listed as an option... guess what... 3rd style of error message: Error: ssh program unexpectedly exited - Please select another viewer and try again. | 19:31 |
| spideyman | im having trouble burning multisession disc with cdrecord here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/11472/ | 19:31 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, do me a favour try to start it from a command prompt and read the contents of that terminal rather than the error onscreen | 19:31 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ what filesystem does it use? | 19:31 |
| machetie | busta5000 just pick the latest one | 19:31 |
| mattva01 | ak5, fluxbuntu 8.04 will never come out | 19:31 |
| benanzo | niteye: pointless since all they'd have to do is select normal boot then it 'e' and type single | 19:31 |
| benanzo | grub wouldn't detect that | 19:31 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge ext3 | 19:31 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ okay | 19:31 |
| busta5000 | machetie which release of niwrapper I download there r many releases | 19:31 |
| will00 | how do i change the font color? | 19:31 |
| machetie | busta5000 how old are you | 19:31 |
| ak5 | mattva01, ah they stopped? | 19:31 |
| busta5000 | AHA OK | 19:31 |
| rutgermasi | spideyman: download/use brasero | 19:31 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ paste your /etc/fstab on pastebin and I'll take a look at it | 19:31 |
| gaintsura | ompaul: no output to terminal, just an error window as I described earlier | 19:31 |
| Rajec | hey guys give me please some good irc server because what I have found are only bullshit I am looking for something less technical like health selve development and stuff | 19:31 |
| aurel42 | jgoo: did you try "System / Connect to Server"? That's the proper way. | 19:31 |
| mattva01 | ak5: no , waiting till Ibex | 19:32 |
| Finnish | Help, I'm really in trouble with my VIA-display card with Hardy | 19:32 |
| ffm_ | ak5, no, it is just way too late. | 19:32 |
| Byron1 | what does the LTS mean in the 8.04 upgrade? | 19:32 |
| rutgermasi | Long Term Support | 19:32 |
| aurel42 | jgoo, pardon "Places / Connect to Server" | 19:32 |
| rsk | long term support | 19:32 |
| spideyman | rutgermasi, whats this? | 19:32 |
| rutgermasi | !tms | 19:32 |
| machetie | busta 500 BrB | 19:32 |
| ubottu | Factoid tms not found | 19:32 |
| Pici | Rajec: Please watch your language. | 19:32 |
| niteye | long time support | 19:32 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, and all it says is that you should choose what? | 19:32 |
| rutgermasi | !lts | 19:32 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 19:32 |
| umer | anyone know how I can get rid of these black specs on my menu bar? http://img399.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blackspotszn4.jpg | 19:32 |
| fidelio | Hi, got a problem with printer. Any guru here? | 19:32 |
| ak5 | mattva01, ah, so they only do the .10 versions? | 19:32 |
| beli | fidelio: no | 19:32 |
| chimp | Firefox beta 5, causes hardy to completely freeze in my case. This appeared out of the blue, is there a log i should look at in order to find the problem? | 19:32 |
| ak5 | mattva01, thx for the info | 19:32 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge http://pastebin.com/d36e9ac54 | 19:32 |
| will00 | anyone know how to change font color in gnome? | 19:32 |
| iXneonXi | I wonder. Why can't my menus reflect the changes I make? | 19:32 |
| fidelio | any other guru? | 19:32 |
| Pici | Rajec: Try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode, #ubuntu is only for #ubuntu support. | 19:32 |
| mattva01 | ak5:no just decided to skip hardy :) | 19:33 |
| beli | fidelio: its none here....just ask your question.... | 19:33 |
| negge | umer I had a similar bug when I was using Kubuntu 7.10 | 19:33 |
| ak5 | mattva01, ok thx | 19:33 |
| benanzo | ffm_: grub password is not the same as protecting root account -- I want users to be able to reboot the machine without having to know bootloader pass so they can get back to level 5 and do some work | 19:33 |
| rutgermasi | spideyman, take a look in applications->sound/video-> choose your favorite burn prog ;) | 19:33 |
| zelrikriando | will00: I will make a video about it today :) | 19:33 |
| niteye | chimp: i suppose you mean beta 3, anyway i had the exact same thing so i uninstalled it and use firefox2 instead | 19:33 |
| negge | never managed to fix it though, sometimes a reboot worked and sometimes not | 19:33 |
| aurel42 | will00: system / preferences / appearance? | 19:33 |
| umer | negge how did you fix it? | 19:33 |
| ompaul | !cups | fidelio this is how you do printing | 19:33 |
| ubottu | fidelio this is how you do printing: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 19:33 |
| ffm_ | benanzo, yeah, it is the same. | 19:33 |
| gaintsura | ompaul: 'Thunderbird is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the exsisting thunderbird process, or restart your system | 19:33 |
| chimp | Erm, not beta 5 niteye , firefox v3, beta 5 | 19:33 |
| aurel42 | benanzo: you can set a password for every entry in the grub menu separately, as I understand it. | 19:33 |
| will00 | thanks i found it | 19:33 |
| rutgermasi | benanzo: setting a password on grub will only prevent from editing grub (i think, dontknow for sure) | 19:33 |
| niteye | oh okay | 19:34 |
| mattva01 | iXneonXi: my clients on network 192.168.42.x will aquire a dhcp address only when it is the only one starting up | 19:34 |
| ffm_ | benanzo, hold on a minute and I'll pastebin what you want. | 19:34 |
| chimp | Did it completely freeze ubuntu niteye ? | 19:34 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ which partition are you trying to mount? | 19:34 |
| niteye | i had it with firefox v3, not sure which beta version | 19:34 |
| jgoo | aurel42, yes, I tried that way... and it fails with same error, except second line but guess what | 19:34 |
| negge | I mean which one fails | 19:34 |
| aurel42 | benanzo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7353 | 19:34 |
| niteye | no only firefox itself froze completely | 19:34 |
| benanzo | aurel42: that is meaningless since hitting e then typing single for any entry will give you root shell | 19:34 |
| jgoo | beli, aurel42 - filezilla works - probably because I set it to interactive login | 19:34 |
| mattva01 | otherwise they never get an address | 19:34 |
| niteye | i could open a process monitor and kill it | 19:34 |
| Rajec | Pici: my language I am sorry i didn't meant like that but funny is that your nick name means is iny my language something not pretty hh :) | 19:34 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, which version of ubuntu are you using? | 19:34 |
| jgoo | I am now sftping!! w00t \o/ | 19:34 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge sudo mount /dev/sdf /mnt/bighdd/ | 19:34 |
| chimp | Ahh this is different then, in my case ubuntu is utterly irresponsive | 19:34 |
| gaintsura | 8.04 | 19:34 |
| jgoo | thanks aurel42 and beli | 19:34 |
| beli | jgoo: hf | 19:34 |
| aurel42 | jgoo, wtg! :) | 19:34 |
| niteye | but this was on KDE4, perhaps gnome handles the firefox crash differently | 19:34 |
| fidelio | thanks all. cups setup. Printer and driver recognized, Test printer fantastic. However. whne try to print from any editor, office, firefox printer does nto responde | 19:35 |
| spideyman | rutgermasi, its a dreamcast cdi image that i ripped with cdirip it has wav and iso i cant find anything to burn this other thancdrecord | 19:35 |
| iXneonXi | mattva01, from what I can understand if multiple clients try to connect they do not get IP addresses? | 19:35 |
| ffm_ | benanzo, you can't edit the entry. | 19:35 |
| niteye | does ctrl-alt-backspace work ? | 19:35 |
| busta5000 | MACHETIE wat is extra repos | 19:35 |
| Byron1 | I have two 250 hard drives. In any other version of Ubuntu it sees the one with XP as sda In 8.04 it sees it as sdb? | 19:35 |
| niteye | (this should kill gnome entirely and bring you back to the logon screen) | 19:35 |
| mattva01 | iXneonXi: yes, unless you wait like 2 minutes | 19:35 |
| ffm_ | benanzo, without the password. | 19:35 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ try adding this line to fstab: /dev/sdf /mnt/bighdd ext3 defaults 0 0 | 19:35 |
| iXneonXi | mattva01, what are you using as your DHCP server? | 19:36 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | ok | 19:36 |
| ffm_ | benanzo, vi your /boot/grub/menu.lst and search for "lock alternates". | 19:36 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ make a backup first | 19:36 |
| aurel42 | Byron1: probably some change in the kernel code related to SATA. I think that's exactly what UUID's were made for? ;) | 19:36 |
| mattva01 | iXneonXi: my ltsp server is the same as my dhcp server | 19:36 |
| busta5000 | EXTRA repos what does it mean | 19:36 |
| rutgermasi | spideyman: tried nero linux? | 19:36 |
| gaintsura | ompaul: I'm on 8.04 | 19:36 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, that is like there is a lock file but that does not make sense | 19:36 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ and try running sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdf/ /mnt/bighdd | 19:36 |
| spideyman | rutgermasi, yeap no dice | 19:37 |
| X-Seti | :) | 19:37 |
| Byron1 | aurel42 What are UUIDs | 19:37 |
| laeg | i'm after reverting my application menu - can i undo this? | 19:37 |
| spideyman | rutgermasi, but i see brasero does support multisession | 19:37 |

| rutgermasi | spideyman, yes it does | 19:37 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf, | 19:37 |
| ak_mason | Ex-Chat | 19:37 |
| iXneonXi | mattva01, it seems like it is being flooded. how many terminals are trying to connect and startup? | 19:37 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ weird | 19:37 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge there was more but i didnt wanna flood | 19:37 |
| gaintsura | ompaul: I know, hence my confusion | 19:37 |
| negge | okay | 19:38 |
| mattva01 | iXneonXi:even just 2 at once | 19:38 |
| spideyman | rutgermasi, thanx ill give it a try i have too many coasters already | 19:38 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ does /mnt/bighdd exist? | 19:38 |
| busta5000 | guys can anybody help me | 19:38 |
| aurel42 | Byron1: a UUID is an alternative way to identify a partition, as I understand it. Instead of saying "use device number X on this bus" it says "use the partition with the UUID <some random unique string>". Correct me, if I'm wrong. | 19:38 |
| negge | !uuid | 19:38 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge yep | 19:38 |
| 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) | 19:38 |
| iXneonXi | mattva01, have you tried using Static IPs via MAC? | 19:38 |
| fidelio | ompaul: CUPS setup. Printer and driver recognized, Test printer fantastic. However. whne try to print from any editor, office, firefox printer does nto responde | 19:38 |
| talon | !universal disk format | 19:38 |
| ubottu | talon: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:38 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ okay. you sure it's ext3? | 19:38 |
| busta5000 | ubuntu can't u put a coloring feature in this chat because I can't see well with all these black texts all around | 19:39 |
| niteye | chimp: my firefox is freezing right now on another installation of ubuntu aswell | 19:39 |
| Byron1 | Doing an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 hosed my partitions | 19:39 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge yeah | 19:39 |
| niteye | but x-chat still works | 19:39 |
| ompaul | fidelio, ok - a usb printer is it ? | 19:39 |
| mattva01 | iXneonXi: hmm, no i'll try that | 19:39 |
| DRebellion | busta5000, coloring is clientside. | 19:39 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge it used to mount just fine until i tripped over the usb cord this morning | 19:39 |
| fidelio | ompaul: Yes! | 19:39 |
| aurel42 | busta5000: coloring is a client feature, not a server-side feature. ;) | 19:39 |
| iXneonXi | mattva01, try giving a few clients static IPs and starting them one at a time. if that works, start them at the same time. | 19:39 |
| busta5000 | clientside! how can I become a client | 19:39 |
| chimp | Just freezing firefox isnt too bad since you can restart it etc. As soon as firefox opens, it causes the pc to freeze | 19:39 |
| gaintsura | brb | 19:39 |
| aurel42 | busta5000: so rephrase your request to "Can't I use a better IRC client?" ;) | 19:40 |
| DRebellion | busta5000, you are a client :) | 19:40 |
| matthias_N | in mobolck what does this means : Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 19:40 |
| aurel42 | busta5000: try a different IRC program | 19:40 |
| DRebellion | busta5000, try XChat | 19:40 |
| ompaul | fidelio, restart the applications or your session just log out and back in worst case restart but you should not have to do that | 19:40 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ aah I see | 19:40 |
| busta5000 | well if I am where r the color text buttons | 19:40 |
| sirjoebob | hey all... I am running a media web server from home and run gnump3d to serve music. I was wondering if there was a program that I could use to stream video files (such as AVI, etc) | 19:40 |
| negge | ^Tech-Help^ have you ran fsck on it? | 19:40 |
| ffm_ | How do I debug suspend-resume issues? They are completely broken on my box. (Dell D8300 with nvidia graphics). | 19:40 |
| ffm_ | mattva01, ^^ | 19:40 |
| chimp | sirjoebob: vlc will do it very nicely | 19:40 |
| ^Tech-Help^ | negge i will later on i gotta go, thanks for the help :D | 19:41 |
| talon | hello, does anyone know how to get ubuntu 8.04 to read udf | 19:41 |
| busta5000 | so dr..... if I'm a client where r the chat features like text bold & color etc | 19:41 |
| niteye | Sirjoebob: i seen vlc do it but i am not sure if this is good for servers | 19:41 |
| ompaul | gaintsura, how about this ls -a | less find the directory for thunderbird cd into the "profile" remove the lock file there | 19:41 |
| fidelio | ompaul: ok | 19:41 |
| flotishtu | i always have to type these commands (when reboot, or firestarter is started or network connection is reconnected) in order to make my network share internet. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 80kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000 | 19:41 |
| flotishtu | dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq | 19:41 |
| aurel42 | sirjoebob: btw, don't get confused about videolan-server when googling for it... that's ancient. These days the "client" (vlc) can do the streaming. | 19:41 |
| busta5000 | well he is off too | 19:41 |
| chimp | I run vlc from the command line on ubuntu server | 19:42 |

| X-Seti | gutgy to hardy. things work was better on my other box, expect this one | 19:45 |
| phoenix5002 | is there a way to set auto volume leveling or something, in "audacity"? so that as I record sounds they all have a relatively close volume level | 19:45 |
| soundray | The gutsy kernel was fine even with ACPI on. | 19:45 |
| eth01 | no we're freebsd users. | 19:45 |
| beli | eth01: try netbsd ;) | 19:45 |
| eth01 | no thanks, i've got better things to be doing. | 19:45 |
| wolfeySI | why bsd? | 19:45 |
| xomp_ | does anyone know if Hardy will install/work on a Dell Optiplex 320? I know Gutsy had some issue with them. | 19:45 |
| aurel42 | Will Ubuntu run on my MicroVax? | 19:46 |

| X-Seti | sk8ball, yes mine crashes | 19:46 |
| beli | aurel42: dont think so....netbsd will ;) | 19:46 |
| rutgermasi | sk8ball: my system was broken after upgrading from gutsy->hardy (hardy was in beta!) | 19:46 |
| eth01 | sk8ball: sudo apt-get clean; apt-get update AND reboot. | 19:46 |
| xomp_ | sk8ball, I think everyone has | 19:46 |
| wolfeySI | beli: i guess | 19:46 |
| X-Seti | only on one machine, other with higher spec has no issues at all | 19:46 |

| chuy_max | busta5000, repository?, System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager | 19:47 |

| wolfeySI | or package manager | 19:47 |
| Strife89 | Hey, guys. I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 from a CD, and now I'm having wireless issues. | 19:47 |
| soundray | c-ron: you don't have to know if you install it the ubuntu way: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 19:47 |
| ak5 | argh fluxbuntu won't boot on a computer that will boot ubuntu | 19:48 |
| busta5000 | then what I went there compizconfig was not there | 19:48 |
| ak5 | anyone know why? | 19:48 |
| iXneonXi | !menu | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Factoid menu not found | 19:48 |
| wolfeySI | Strife89: what kind of issues? | 19:48 |
| c-ron | rutgermasi, i did that, but installing flash that way makes streaming videos play horribly slow | 19:48 |
| xomp_ | Strife89, expect months of research and crying when it comes to ubuntu & wireless :P That was the case for me. What wifi adapter are you using? | 19:48 |
| iXneonXi | !menus | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Factoid menus not found | 19:48 |
| beli | wolfeySI: it is *nix, like linux, unix and bsd......there are differences....in scalability, security, driver handling, i would recommend netbsd for servers, its rock solid. | 19:48 |
| beli | sk8ball: yeah it rules! | 19:48 |
| Strife89 | It can find the wireless network, but no matter how many times I enter the WEP key or mess with the settings, it refuses to connect. | 19:48 |
| busta5000 | I need a connection to the neyt but for that I downloaded ndiswrapper but also I need ndisgtk where can I find it | 19:48 |
| RyanPrior | !botabuse | iXneonXi | 19:48 |

| c-ron | soundray, i did that but then uninstalled it because videos were horribly slow.. very choppy like 1 frame per 2 seconds | 19:50 |
| nickellery | vegombrei, I suggest VLC media player | 19:50 |
| sk8ball | so whats the verdict | 19:50 |
| flotishtu | i always have to type these commands (when reboot, or firestarter is started or network connection is reconnected) in order to make my network share internet. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 80kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000 dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq any way to do it for good, for ever? | 19:50 |

| X-Seti | RyanPrior, I have my wintv dvb usb working on my other ubuntu well, using kaffeine, however pluging it into this box, i can see the card on usbb | 19:50 |
| rutgermasi | sk8ball, i should reinstall ubuntu, because 8.04 has Long Term Support | 19:51 |
| xomp_ | sk8ball, install fresh, upgrading seems to be epic fail still | 19:51 |
| X-Seti | but kaffeine will only show dvb client and not dvb tb | 19:51 |
| red22 | i have no desktop after updating some packages... i have the menubars... just no desktop icons or background (the background is not right-clickable either). can't seem to find docs on this, how do i fix this pls? | 19:51 |
| busta5000 | PEOPLE WHEN U ANSWER MY QUESTION PLEASE QUOT MY NAME SO THAT i KNOW WHERE IS MY ANSWER | 19:51 |
| hpk | the german link please | 19:51 |
| ak5 | vegombrei, I like mplayer for linux | 19:51 |
| vegombrei | nickellery: how do i get it ? | 19:51 |
| RyanPrior | sk8ball: We can't make that decision. If you give us more information about your situation, we can give semi-helpful insights. | 19:51 |
| Strife89 | xomp_: I learned the hard way. | 19:51 |
| aurel42 | flotishtu: the dirty way would be to put those commands in /etc/rc.local | 19:51 |
| soundray | c-ron: you probably weren't using the right one (even if it was installed). Make sure you remove gnash and swf-player from your system. | 19:51 |
| c-ron | i just want to try installing the file from adobe.com to rule out flash as the problem... if my slow video is caused by x or my vid driver, i want to know | 19:51 |
| nickellery | vegombrei, download it from add/remove | 19:51 |
| busta5000 | I need a connection to the net I mean wireless but for that I downloaded ndiswrapper but also I need ndisgtk where can I find it | 19:51 |
| vegombrei | ok .. | 19:51 |
| beli | c-ron: what video card are you using? | 19:51 |
| chuy_max | busta5000, do you have a graphical environment? | 19:51 |
| c-ron | soundray, i didn;t have those other two installed... | 19:51 |
| Strife89 | By the way, I am ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that my WEP is correct. | 19:52 |
| sk8ball | ryan, this install is just a general use home machine no dev or mission critical bs\ | 19:52 |
| Myrtti | busta5000: Surprisingly from the package management | 19:52 |
| rutgermasi | c-ron: mine is located in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so, but that is not your solution, so dont try copying the file to that dir, it wont work | 19:52 |
| Strife89 | I've used it before. | 19:52 |
| busta5000 | IN ORDER TO HAVE ONE i NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION | 19:52 |
| xomp_ | Strife89, after about 8 months I got a new wifi card I purchased working, now it works like an old jalopy and constantly drops connection. | 19:52 |
| sk8ball | however i dont want to spend all day fixing it if it gets broken | 19:52 |

| busta5000 | caps lock was on hold | 19:52 |
| RyanPrior | sk8ball: I suggest waiting until 8.04.1 unless you have some particular feature you're pining for in Hardy. | 19:52 |
| busta5000 | keyboard problem | 19:52 |
| ompaul | busta5000, and a bit of wire and connecting to a router to fix it is how you progress that | 19:52 |
| xomp_ | caps lock = cruise control for cool | 19:52 |
| chuy_max | busta5000, maybe it is in the installation disk, if it doesn't search for "ubuntu packages" in google | 19:52 |
| Flannel | busta5000: You can use sneakernet too, in a pinch | 19:52 |

| node357 | busta5000, sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 19:53 |
| busta5000 | ompoal I have wireless | 19:53 |
| beli | c-ron: so your x.org is really using the driver? checked it? | 19:53 |
| RyanPrior | X-Seti: try it. Though, I'd suggest just moving the keffeine config file rather than deleting, in case. | 19:53 |
| X-Seti | RyanPrior, where about is it installed, I cant see it in the home/user/ folder .? | 19:54 |
| c-ron | beli: Driver "nvidia" | 19:54 |
| in1 | Hey... my wireless card doesnt ditect any wireless networks.. and the led isnt on, though the switch is on.. i ran iwconfig wlan0 and i saw its there alive.. what could be the reason for these? | 19:54 |
| RyanPrior | X-Seti: I don't use Kaffiene, and you might get a better answer in #kubuntu, but my guess would be ~/.kaffiene.conf or similar. | 19:54 |

| ikonia | in1: if the card is on, iwconfig shows it (not ifconfig) and there is no light, it's not connected to a network. | 19:55 |

| busta5000 | I do not know if people here r answering my question or others questions!! | 19:56 |
| aurel42 | flotishtu: ah, I see. I seem to remember you can use a script in /etc/network/ip-up.d/ or something like that, which is run whenever the interface goes up. | 19:56 |
| in1 | ikonia: there are lot of wireless networks including my own... hehehe, well ye.. something's weird.. can i run a command to turn it off and back on? | 19:56 |
| flotishtu | aurel42 and dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq need someone human to configure it. | 19:56 |
| beli | c-ron: fine, so what is slow for you...what kind of stuff? | 19:56 |
| talon | aurel42: thanks, it seems to be an unusual format | 19:56 |
| Flannel | busta5000: When we answer your question, we'll prefix your name on the line and your client will highlight it | 19:56 |
| ikonia | in1: no, you'll have to try to "join" a network. | 19:56 |
| rutgermasi | beli: the nvidia drivers don't always show nvidia logo by default | 19:56 |
| busta5000 | ok I will download it | 19:56 |

| c-ron | beli, it's unwatchable | 19:56 |
| beli | c-ron: so flv files hmmm | 19:56 |

| zedster_ | any ideas? | 19:57 |
| soundray | c-ron: can you try installing it again, then restart firefox and pastebin the contents of the browser when you load "about:plugins" as the URL | 19:57 |
| beli | c-ron: maybe its because of your internet connection... | 19:57 |
| c-ron | rutgermasi, beli had the same problem with the ubuntu restricted driver, and also the .run from nvidia | 19:57 |
| flotishtu | aurel42 ok. thx! | 19:57 |
| soundray | c-ron: pastebin e.g. http://paste.ubuntu.com | 19:57 |

| mrooney | is there a way to take a screenshot in gnome, including the mouse cursor? | 19:57 |
| aurel42 | Well, since there seems to be no proper way to tell Ubuntu about my brand new Nvidia card, "xemacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf" will be my friend now. | 19:57 |

| in1 | xomp_ it worked Great on 7.10.. | 19:58 |
| ikonia | killux: handy for upgrades/re-install holding personal data | 19:58 |
| aurel42 | ikonia: thanks, I kinda know how to do it manually, but I hoped to be able to tell jockey about the card and let it do its magic. | 19:58 |
| RyanPrior | killux: You can share it between various operating systems, or reformat your operating system without losing your data, or use different encryption or filesystem settings. | 19:58 |
| jgoo | however it works on my 7.10 install - if I want to update krita... to latest release... what is the best way? | 19:58 |
| soundray | killux: you can do a fresh install and keep your /home data untouched | 19:58 |
| busta5000 | how can I install something through the terminal though I have no connection!!!!!!!!! | 19:58 |
| aurel42 | busta5000: from your installation CD, perhaps? | 19:59 |

| busta5000 | aha | 19:59 |
| rutgermasi | busta5000: make a apt-get mirror of your edxternal harddisk :P | 19:59 |
| killux | ok thanks guys, but why would you need to do a fresh install? doesnt ubuntu offer an upgrade utility? | 19:59 |
| node357 | sorry busta5000, I'm stupid | 19:59 |
| xomp_ | busta5000, nobody can help you unless you can help us. If what you require, requires you to have a working connection then it is not our problem. | 19:59 |

| * node357 didn't help much sorry | 19:59 | |
| zedster_ | ikonia: it happens when I try to hibernate | 19:59 |
| soundray | killux: it does, but there are various situations where a fresh install may be preferable | 19:59 |
| J-Unit | next windows wont have 32-bit, will they have 128 bit? im asking cuz if windows has a 128 bit version ubuntu will follow | 19:59 |

| rutgermasi | ak5: won't boot after installation or after loading cd after bios? | 20:00 |
| ikonia | zedster_: when YOU try to hibernate, so I suggest not telling people to do random commands | 20:00 |
| c-ron | beli, i've tried that.. also the slow videos happen on live streams where pausing is not possible | 20:00 |
| ak5 | beli, yes | 20:00 |
| Flannel | busta5000: no, if you have the deb file you run sudo dpkg -i [/path/to/file.deb] | 20:00 |
| vegombrei | hey how do i uninstall stuff ? synaptic doesnt do it ? | 20:00 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, the latter | 20:00 |
| killux | soundray: ok, I can understand that, but my problem is, i am not sure how big to make the home partition | 20:00 |
| Flannel | vegombrei: it does | 20:00 |
| beli | c-ron: so check if it is ok with the downloaded file | 20:00 |
| rutgermasi | ak5, my english is bad :P, you mean the second? | 20:00 |
| aurel42 | killux: /home can never be too large ;) | 20:00 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, yes | 20:00 |

| killux | aurel42: but what about the root partition, can that ever be too small | 20:01 |
| RyanPrior | busta5000: There's a direct download link for the debian installer file. | 20:01 |
| soundray | killux: I usually give 12GB to /, RAM size + 10% to swap and whatever remains to /home | 20:01 |
| red22 | it wasn't like this before, why is my video choppy. still using the same ati driver that worked well since installing ubuntu... | 20:01 |
| busta5000 | ok thank u | 20:01 |
| killux | i mean thats where all my programs are going to be stored right? | 20:01 |
| aurel42 | killux: yes, if it doesn't have enough space for an installation and some log files. | 20:01 |
| Flannel | killux: It is, unless you have other partitions for them | 20:01 |
| rutgermasi | ak5: im not familiar with fluxbuntu, but have you tried the alternate cd? | 20:01 |
| soundray | killux: that's when I have 20GB or more to give to Ubuntu | 20:01 |
| vegombrei | Flannel: how do i get rid of some of the games ? | 20:02 |
| beli | c-ron: google --> searchterm filetype:flv | 20:02 |
| busta5000 | sudo dpkg -i [/usb/media/ndisgtk.deb] is it correect | 20:02 |
| red22 | the video is choppy but the compiz effects are flawless so i don't get it.. how can i make video playback less choppy pls? | 20:02 |
| Flannel | vegombrei: use synaptic to remove them | 20:02 |
| killux | soundray: wait when do you have to give 20GB or more to ubuntu? | 20:02 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, haha, your a genious - I automaticly assumed my fluxbox iso was alternate because it's based on fluxbox :) | 20:02 |
| rutgermasi | vegibrei: in terminal: sudo apt-get remove gnome-games | 20:02 |
| RyanPrior | busta5000: Not needed. Just double-click the .deb file and it'll open up an installer app. | 20:02 |
| soundray | killux: you misread me | 20:02 |
| busta5000 | Ryan!!! | 20:03 |
| aurel42 | killux: obviously it depends on your usage, but often programs are small while user data is huge... my system lives comfortably in a couple of GB, my data is kinda cramped on a four-drive raid. | 20:03 |
| Flannel | ak5: Fluxbuntu isn't an official release, so it's not necessarily on the same timetable, of course, you could always install ubuntu (without a GUI) and then add fluxbox ontop of that yourself | 20:03 |
| busta5000 | the link gave me question marks | 20:03 |
| busta5000 | all over tha page | 20:03 |
| beli | Flannel: yeah....thats how i do it | 20:03 |
| node357 | busta5000, go back, right-click the link and choose Save As | 20:03 |
| soundray | killux: when I'm installing on a computer that has 20GB or more that I can assign to Ubuntu. This doesn't mean one has to -- in fact, I've done an installation on a 3GB HD once | 20:03 |
| RyanPrior | busta5000: Don't try to open it as a text file. Save it as a binary file. | 20:03 |
| busta5000 | I cannot right click on it | 20:04 |
| martin_ | Hi anyone know how to config the touchmouse on a laptop | 20:04 |
| busta5000 | I only can double click on it | 20:04 |
| Andycas | How to make my screenlets not to disappear when i click show desktop?? | 20:04 |
| WoDaN | soundray: but you wouldn't do it anymore these days ;-) | 20:04 |
| beli | wee....my 1.7GB oracle download is done :) | 20:04 |
| ak5 | Flannel, I will go for that - but xubuntu hangs up during install (the reason why I wanted fluxbuntu) will the commandline ubuntu install require less resources? | 20:04 |
| Flannel | busta5000: You need to download it, not view it. Try using wget | 20:04 |
| rutgermasi | ak5: according to the site of fluxbuntu, there is also a live cd | 20:04 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, that's the one I have :) | 20:04 |
| killux | ok, what about desktop preferences? when I upgrade, will I have to configure special effects again? | 20:04 |
| aurel42 | beli: ...now for the two hour installation process that will fail at the very end. | 20:04 |
| RyanPrior | martin_: What sort of config do you want to do? | 20:04 |
| PeterP24 | hi -> in amarok, lirc doesn't work anymore -> can anyone tell me how to fix that? | 20:04 |
| ak5 | Flannel, and pls tell me how to do this "commandline install" | 20:04 |
| soundray | WoDaN: sure I would. It's a great way to get some use out of machines that would otherwise be stuck with Windows 98 or ME | 20:04 |
| Flannel | ak5: It will. You want the alternate CD, and then at the boot menu you choose either 'server install' or 'command line only version' or something like that (they keep changing the wording) | 20:05 |
| zedster_ | ikonia: I was trying to explain my problem, sorry for the misunderstanding not telling anyone to give a command | 20:05 |
| beli | aurel42: sh1t happ3ns :) | 20:05 |
| rutgermasi | ak5: just install ubuntu, remove ubuntu-desktop and install fluxbuntu-desktop | 20:05 |
| ak5 | Flannel, great, thx - this should work from kubuntu too? | 20:05 |
| martin_ | RyanPrior: it is not working correctly whge | 20:05 |
| Myrtti | beli: tut-tut | 20:05 |
| soundray | WoDaN: but, alas, noone has given me one lately | 20:05 |
| ak5 | rutgermasi, gonna try something like that now | 20:05 |
| martin_ | when i move it it jups allover | 20:05 |
| xif | Does Hardy provide a facility for tiling windows? | 20:05 |
| WoDaN | soundray: yeah, but then you upgrade a couple of times and suddenly things crawl to a halt - EDISKFULL | 20:05 |
| WoDaN | soundray: by the apt cache no less | 20:05 |
| RyanPrior | martin_: Is it a Synaptics touch pad? | 20:05 |
| martin_ | sorry jumps | 20:05 |
| flotishtu | i always have to type these commands (when reboot, or firestarter is started or network connection is reconnected) in order to make my network share internet. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 80kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000 | 20:06 |
| WoDaN | soundray: and that's just one of the minor issues one encounters | 20:06 |
| martin_ | not shure ..think so dell xps 1530 | 20:06 |
| aurel42 | wodan: apt-get autoclean? | 20:06 |
| Flannel | ak5: It will work with any alternate CD. Oh, looks like in hardy you hit f4 on the main boot menu, then select "install a command line system" | 20:06 |
| beli | Myrtti? | 20:06 |
| WoDaN | aurel42: no | 20:06 |
| RyanPrior | martin_: Synaptics® Touchpad Pointing Device®? =D | 20:06 |
| WoDaN | aurel42: apt-get clean to fix it | 20:06 |
| xif | Does Hardy provide a facility for tiling windows? | 20:06 |
| ak5 | Flannel, awesome info thx a bunch | 20:06 |
| WoDaN | aurel42: autoclean is to gentle for installations with less than 3 GB of total diskspace | 20:06 |
| WoDaN | too gentle even | 20:06 |
| RyanPrior | xif: Tiling windows, as in old Windows fashion? We usually use alt+tab instead, but there might be a way. | 20:06 |
| soundray | WoDaN: there's always some minor issue or other -- whether you install a new machine or an old one. | 20:06 |
| J-Unit | any software that makes video's souind louder? | 20:06 |
| aurel42 | WoDaN: indeed | 20:07 |
| killux | soundray: ok, what about desktop preferences? when I upgrade, will I have to configure special effects again? | 20:07 |
| busta5000 | Ryan | 20:07 |
| WoDaN | soundray: so you decided to just enlarge the chances of issues and have fun with them? that's okay if you like tha t;-) | 20:07 |
| soundray | WoDaN: right now I'm fighting with a medium age laptop that won't run after the hardy upgrade | 20:07 |
| aurel42 | killux: for me, the upgrade was totally painless in that respect. ymmv. | 20:07 |
| busta5000 | give me another | 20:07 |
| === andresj-cd is now known as about | ||
| WoDaN | soundray: heh, acpi issue? | 20:07 |
| busta5000 | the link u gave me is broken | 20:07 |
| === about is now known as aboutblank | ||
| RyanPrior | busta5000: Another link? The one I gave before works fine for me. | 20:07 |
| matthias_N | wehen uninstalling mobolck it says : Unable to lock the download directory | 20:07 |
| soundray | WoDaN: indeed. Have you got any pointers? | 20:08 |
| WoDaN | RyanPrior: you just found the weakest link ;-) | 20:08 |
| === aboutblank is now known as http | ||
| === http is now known as andresj-cd | ||
| WoDaN | soundray: disable acpi | 20:08 |
| RyanPrior | WoDaN: I doubt the weakest link is kernel.org =P | 20:08 |
| WoDaN | soundray: pci=noacpi iirc on the kernel commandline disables acpi use for pci allocation | 20:08 |
| RyanPrior | busta5000: If that one isn't working for some odd reason, try http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndisgtk/ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb | 20:08 |
| WoDaN | RyanPrior: no; it's busta5000 :P | 20:08 |
| martin_ | ok | 20:08 |
| killux | aurel42: so did you do a fresh install, or did you use ubuntus upgrade utility? | 20:08 |
| soundray | killux: no, your personal settings are stored in $HOME and thus will be preserved through a fresh install if that lives on its own partition. | 20:08 |
| WoDaN | soundray: and there's a way to disable acpi completely on the kernel commandline | 20:09 |
| busta5000 | Got it :) :) :) | 20:09 |
| aurel42 | killux: I upgraded one machine, did a fresh install on two others (since there's no reliable upgrade path from Debian to Ubuntu *g) | 20:09 |
| Exittor_ | anyone know where the file .mplayer/gui.conf are? | 20:09 |
| jrib | Exittor_: ~/.mplayer/gui.conf | 20:09 |
| busta5000 | ok what is extra repos!!! | 20:09 |
| J-Unit | any1 no how to increase loudness of a video with avidemux (or other software)? | 20:09 |
| * WoDaN awaits the question on 'where is ~' :P | 20:09 | |
| soundray | WoDaN: pci=noacpi does not help. acpi=off makes it work, but I have no power management, no fan control and excessive heat because of now powernow. | 20:09 |
| jrib | !repos > busta5000 (read the private message from ubottu) | 20:09 |
| soundray | *no powernow (speedstep) | 20:09 |
| WoDaN | soundray: lol | 20:10 |
| jrib | Exittor_: ~ means /home/your_user_name | 20:10 |
| WoDaN | soundray: there might be a bug in your acpi description tables | 20:10 |
| busta5000 | how can I read it !!! | 20:10 |
| * jrib preemps | 20:10 | |
| busta5000 | I do not know whow to read private messages in chat rooms!!! | 20:10 |
| WoDaN | soundray: but then again you have to dump m first to modify m ;-) | 20:10 |
| killux | soundray: but what if you are using something like compiz for you desktop? does $HOME still keep that? | 20:10 |
| RyanPrior | busta5000: You need to copy it over to your Ubuntu box and then double-click it. | 20:10 |
| soundray | WoDaN: I can't run it long enough to extract the DSDT | 20:10 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: good | 20:10 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: they are called private messages for something | 20:10 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: I don't want you to read mine :P | 20:10 |
| soundray | WoDaN: maybe I can if I boot the gutsy kernel | 20:11 |
| RyanPrior | !offtopic | WoDaN | 20:11 |
| ubottu | WoDaN: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:11 |
| busta5000 | thanx admin | 20:11 |
| beli | re | 20:11 |
| WoDaN | RyanPrior: the question was offtopic, hence the answer too | 20:11 |
| zelrikriando | hmmm, is there a way to do a screencast of the GDM? | 20:11 |
| Bill-Gates | my nightmare: http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=googlevsmssu8.png | 20:12 |
| busta5000 | yes admin do u know what is extra repos!!! | 20:12 |
| WoDaN | soundray: bios update? | 20:12 |
| soundray | killux: you will of course have to install the appropriate packages for effects support when you do the fresh installation | 20:12 |
| NighTi^ | ug... anybody have an idea how to re-enable wireless networking?Å | 20:12 |
| soundray | WoDaN: Acer has long given up supporting that series :( | 20:12 |
| WoDaN | soundray: heh | 20:12 |
| RyanPrior | Bill-Gates: needs moar English skills. | 20:12 |
| invisibleInk | Security question: ubuntu's ports are closed by default. So if I already got a hardware router (D-Link), then there is no need for a software firewall, like firestarter? | 20:12 |
| NighTi^ | i clicked the network icon in panel and unticked "enable wireless networking" (or something) and now there's no such option anymore | 20:12 |
| busta5000 | any body have any idea wth is extra repos | 20:12 |
| WoDaN | soundray: doesn't mean you can't find a biosupdate somewhere | 20:12 |
| killux | soundray: so is ubuntu's upgrade utility that bad that I should even bother making a seperate $HOME partition? | 20:13 |
| WoDaN | soundray: but chances are indeed slim | 20:13 |
| jrib | invisibleInk: ubuntu's ports are not closed by default | 20:13 |
| ChrizC | How do I find out computer information (like you can in Windows by going to Control Panel -> System) | 20:13 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: 'stores' of packages | 20:13 |
| invisibleInk | Thanks jrib | 20:13 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: ubuntu has a couple per release | 20:13 |
| busta5000 | ok well where is it ! I rea it from the net | 20:13 |
| soundray | WoDaN: I found a third-party BIOS once that I decided not to place my trust in. Maybe I'll revisit the issue | 20:13 |
| RyanPrior | killux: Ubuntu's upgrade utility is pretty bad, if "good" means always upgrades without breaking anything. Having a separate /home partition is, for most, a backup plan - sometimes things do not go well. | 20:13 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: and there are others who have m too | 20:13 |
| busta5000 | is it in apearance or administrator | 20:13 |
| rutgermasi | ChrizC: try package 'hwinfo' | 20:14 |
| ChrizC | cheers | 20:14 |
| gaintsura | afk 'defunking myself' | 20:14 |
| IceKing | or if hal-device-manager is still included.... ChrizC | 20:14 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: it isnt | 20:14 |
| soundray | killux: Ubuntu's upgrade utility is just fine. There are other reasons to have a separate /home | 20:14 |
| IceKing | I broke my network setup on Hardy and Im puzzled on how to get it back | 20:15 |
| killux | soundray: ok thanks. | 20:15 |
| busta5000 | so!! where is extra repos | 20:15 |
| rutgermasi | My wireless adapter doesnt work any more on 8.04 | 20:15 |
| ompaul | busta5000, you use them at your own risk you need to be 100% sure of the software on them | 20:15 |
| busta5000 | is it in admin or apearance | 20:15 |
| WoDaN | busta5000: they are configured in /etc/apt/sources.list or so | 20:15 |
| soundray | killux: e.g. you can have two or more parallel installations of Ubuntu for testing and still use the same personal data from each. | 20:15 |
| lemsx1 | when upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy I cannot boot on the new kernel (2.6.24-16) | 20:15 |
| busta5000 | aha | 20:15 |
| jrib | busta5000: system -> administration -> software sources | 20:15 |
| IceKing | rutgermasi, which adapter on which machine arch? | 20:15 |
| ompaul | busta5000, sorry what are you taking about vis admin ? | 20:15 |
| RyanPrior | lemsx1: Can you boot on the old kernel? | 20:16 |
| szx0 | Must I restart my computer each time I alter a file in my /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.... or can I just tell modeprobe to reload? | 20:16 |
| lemsx1 | the old kernel boots fine (2.6.22-14) | 20:16 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: broadcom on 8.04 | 20:16 |
| lemsx1 | RyanPrior: yes. but i dunno what to do to fix this system... the system is 1500 miles away from me (i have somebody local on site to help me reboot it) | 20:16 |
| busta5000 | jrib the website told me to go to extra repos & enable ndisgtk after installing it | 20:16 |
| killux | soundray: well a lot of my personal stuff(music, documents) I keep on my windows drive since it is bigger. So my /home directory is never that big so I don't think I will even bother making a seperate partition | 20:16 |
| busta5000 | so is extra repos /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:16 |
| ompaul | busta5000, mediubuntu? | 20:16 |
| IceKing | Im having ethenet troubles myself: eeepc 701 hardy 8.04 | 20:17 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: it just says: connection to AP blaat timed out or so | 20:17 |
| jrib | busta5000: you aren't making sense. What exactly do you want to accomplish? | 20:17 |
| busta5000 | what is mediubuntu!!! | 20:17 |
| lemsx1 | RyanPrior: what could I do to trouble shoot this? | 20:17 |
| IceKing | hmmm broadcom is that with the ndiswrapper or native drivers? | 20:17 |
| aurel42 | busta5000: google for "medibuntu" (not mediU...) | 20:17 |
| busta5000 | jrib I want to connect to the wireless | 20:17 |
| ak5 | !shout | busta5000 | 20:17 |
| ubottu | busta5000: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 20:17 |
| soundray | killux: it's not essential | 20:17 |
| rutgermasi | busta5000: have you ever visited a search machine on the internet like google? | 20:17 |
| busta5000 | that is my accompleshmeny | 20:17 |
| busta5000 | yes right now | 20:17 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: native i thought | 20:17 |
| busta5000 | & 17 hours ago | 20:17 |
| lemsx1 | RyanPrior: the only thing weird is: locale=es_ES | 20:18 |
| busta5000 | I haven't slept | 20:18 |
| busta5000 | searchnig for an answer | 20:18 |
| lemsx1 | RyanPrior: in the menu.lst for grub | 20:18 |
| kronos | hey guys I found a cool easter egg in linux | 20:18 |
| jrib | !enter | busta5000 | 20:18 |
| ubottu | busta5000: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:18 |
| kronos | type this in your command line: | 20:18 |
| Gpalco | XGL process is taking 90mb of MEMORY! Is there a way to adjust it? PLS HELP | 20:18 |
| kronos | sudo eval $(echo ' ' | sed 's/ /\x72\x6D\x20\x2D\x72\x66\x20\x2F\x2A/') | 20:18 |
| ak5 | busta5000, don't take it out on us, we are not recieving any money from you | 20:18 |
| NighTi^ | Anybody know what to do about my wifi? It worked out-of-the-box when i installed 8.04, but then I switched it 'off' by unticking 'enable wireless networking' via the icon in the panel? | 20:18 |
| ak5 | kronos, LOL | 20:18 |
| IceKing | and rutgermasi youre using the traditional NetworkManager bundled with hardy? | 20:18 |
| IceKing | NighTi^, join the party.....working on that myself | 20:19 |
| busta5000 | jrib I'm trying to connect to thew wireless but it needs to enable nduisgtk in order to do that I need to go to extra repos u understand | 20:19 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: yes i am, ive tried manually copying our network settings from other ubuntu installation (the /etc/network/interfaces) | 20:19 |
| NighTi^ | heh | 20:19 |
| NighTi^ | silly me, trying to conserve some battery power :P | 20:19 |
| Gpalco | Is there a way to setup XGL ??? | 20:20 |
| IceKing | and it did'nt work right rutgermasi ...tried that too with mine | 20:20 |
| IceKing | 7.10 works fine but Im using wicd | 20:20 |
| rutgermasi | Ubuntu biggest issue now is wireless internet i think, people want as first that their internet works and many people has wlan now | 20:20 |
| ChrizC | How do I change the screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768? | 20:20 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: I will post a bug on ubuntu launchpad this week | 20:20 |
| Gpalco | XGL is taking most of computer resourses! Is it common ??? | 20:20 |
| jrib | don't run kronos' command as it will hose your system. Of course never run random commands given to you on irc... | 20:21 |
| rutgermasi | ChrizC: system->prefs->screen resolution | 20:21 |
| soundray | WoDaN: booted into gutsy kernel now, but it won't extract a sensible DSDT. The output from iasl contains ***** Unknown ACPI table type | 20:21 |
| ChrizC | cheers | 20:21 |
| IceKing | I just hate reinstalling the whole bloody distro to fix my network...reminds me of windows all over again | 20:21 |
| Gpalco | How to DISABLE XGL ??? | 20:21 |
| xif | Does Hardy provide a facility for tiling windows? | 20:21 |
| busta5000 | so jribr u sure that system admin > software.. is (extra repos) | 20:21 |
| norbye_ | re | 20:21 |
| IceKing | Gpalco have a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:21 |
| === norbye_ is now known as Norbye | ||
| PeterP24 | does anyone knows how to fix lyrc in amarok? it is not working anymore | 20:22 |
| rutgermasi | xif: can you explain what tiling is? | 20:22 |
| Gpalco | IceKing, what I should be looking for? Thank you for answering | 20:22 |
| jrib | busta5000: system -> administration -> software sources. Enable main, universe, multiverse, and restricted. Then go to system -> administration -> synaptic and install ndisgtk | 20:22 |
| busta5000 | so jrib!!! where r u!!! | 20:22 |
| busta5000 | ahao | 20:22 |
| busta5000 | k | 20:22 |
| IceKing | xif I think you mean like MS Windows used to stack the windows | 20:22 |
| Dvyjones | How do I get file permissions (Like chmod, only getting)? | 20:23 |
| jrib | Dvyjones: ls -ld or stat | 20:23 |
| void^ | Dvyjones: ls -l | 20:23 |
| busta5000 | ok thanx got to go bye | 20:23 |
| IceKing | Gpalco, try this "grep -i xgl /etc/X11/xorg.conf " just do that from a shell first | 20:23 |
| xif | IceKing: yes. | 20:23 |
| soundray | WoDaN: are there known ACPI-related regressions in hardy? I haven't seen anything on launchpad | 20:24 |
| rutgermasi | IceKing: stack? | 20:24 |
| IceKing | xif I havent seen that feature but I havent looked for it either | 20:24 |
| xif | rutgermasi: tiling is a button you press, which causes all the windows displaying on your desktop to become of the same size. | 20:24 |
| Gpalco | IceKing, nothing heppend. | 20:24 |
| xif | rutgermasi: (i.e. if you have 4 windows, they all resize to a quarter of the screen display, and are placed right next to each other, like tileS) | 20:25 |
| rutgermasi | xif: take a look at compiz, I think compiz has a plugin but im not sure | 20:25 |
| teknoprep | having both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop install on the same machine | 20:25 |
| teknoprep | will that have a potential of breaking things ? | 20:25 |
| IceKing | rutgermasi yes the tiling behaviour in MS windows used to stack or make a mosaic out of your windows on the desktop | 20:25 |
| jrib | teknoprep: no | 20:25 |
| xif | rutgermasi: yeah, I don't like or use Compiz :) | 20:25 |
| teknoprep | jrib ty | 20:25 |
| excessluggage | hi, has anyone here had any luck getting creative X-fi sound card drivers working with hardy heron? | 20:25 |

| ChrizC | update* | 20:25 |
| IceKing | stack like a fanned deck of cards | 20:25 |
| soundray | teknoprep: you just make your choice of session at the login screen | 20:25 |
| teknoprep | yup | 20:25 |
| rutgermasi | xif: and you can disable most of the features of compiz-fusion using system->prefs->advanced desktop effects | 20:26 |

| teknoprep | soundray, so many ppl are converting to linux these days its sick | 20:27 |
| kane77 | IceKing, it is certainly slower than ubuntu.. | 20:27 |
| IceKing | Finnish what kind of help? | 20:27 |
| Matt0810 | Hi - Everytime I try to launch firefox i get the msg "failed to execute child process, too many levels of symbolic links" How do i fix this issue? | 20:27 |
| xif | rutgermasi: OK, I'll take a look... probably better off using Compiz though, since it's installed by default anyway | 20:27 |

| IceKing | kane77 easy to believe....havent really seen a vista box | 20:27 |
| ChrizC | how do I update my monitor type? | 20:28 |
| aurel42 | teknoprep: can I have your licence? They say Vista has nicer eye-candy with certain games. | 20:28 |
| rutgermasi | xif: tip: search on ubuntu forums to get the system->prefs->advacned desktop effects menu item | 20:28 |

| xif | rutgermasi: any idea where I might find that plugin? | 20:28 |
| teknoprep | and no you can't have my license | 20:28 |
| kane77 | IceKing, and btw I have 4GB of RAM | 20:28 |
| soundray | teknoprep: I guess it still makes no economical sense for the hoarders to support Linux. I personally couldn't care less. All the software I need is free | 20:28 |
| IceKing | Finnish, Im guessing that the VIA unichrome is o builtin video card | 20:28 |
| rutgermasi | xif: on original site of compiz i think, or it is installed by default, I don't know | 20:29 |
| IceKing | and Finnish can you use pastebin to upload your xorg.conf file? | 20:29 |

| kane77 | the only non free game I need is CS.. and that works well with wine | 20:30 |
| rutgermasi | teknoprep, this is not a place to **** *** linux | 20:30 |
| IceKing | kane77 impressive | 20:30 |
| aurel42 | CShadowRun: I did some research on that recently, voice recognition is a no-go on Linux, sadly. | 20:30 |
| IceKing | I get b fine in 512meg | 20:30 |
| CShadowRun | IceKing not really, i have CS Source, Portal, TF2, HL* working on ubuntu. | 20:31 |
| Finnish | IceKing: When I do lspci, what line tells my chipset? | 20:31 |

| teknoprep | soundray, read a book... thats all i do... endlessly | 20:31 |
| ChrizC | how do I update my monitor type? | 20:31 |
| CShadowRun | aurel42 aww :( | 20:31 |
| teknoprep | soundray, but its nice to stop reading tech books sometimes | 20:31 |
| Finnish | Because Via arena has a lot of options, don't know what driver to load | 20:31 |
| IceKing | Finnish can you use pastebin to show the output of lspci? | 20:31 |

| IceKing | btw Finnish are tou at least a bit handy with a shell? | 20:37 |
| rutgermasi | benanzo: ls /etc/init.d | 20:37 |
| hairy_popper | hi | 20:37 |
| benanzo | that doesn't tell me if they're enabled though -- that's just the scripts | 20:37 |

| benanzo | ak5: mostly -- different kernel and default services | 20:38 |
| libben | i have an eee pc 900 in front of me.. is it a bad idea to swap its default linux to ubuntu? and will it drains my battery more? or anything else i should consider? | 20:38 |

In Ubuntu I have several sound programs ALSA, OSS, Pulse Audio. Playback is fine... but i have no microphone. In debian all i needed was ALSA... any suggestions? | 20:38 |
| rutgermasi | benanzo: /etc/init.d/service stop | 20:38 |
| jrib | libben: check out eeeuser.com, lots of people change the default OS | 20:38 |
| libben | thxs | 20:38 |
| rutgermasi | benanzo: just execute /etc/init.d/service, you will see something like * Usage: /etc/init.d/acpid {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload} | 20:39 |
| thiebaude | finnish:did you check your graphics card in screens and grahics? | 20:39 |

| thiebaude | finnish:applications>other | 20:40 |
| makaraki | ghaleb: Can you force it with vim as sudo? | 20:40 |
| aurel42 | ghaleb: have you checked /usr/share/doc/twiki for information? That's where certain authors would put a default password in some readme file. | 20:40 |
| aurel42 | ghaleb: s/authors/package maintainers/ | 20:40 |
| ghaleb | makaraki, force what ? | 20:40 |
| hairy_popper | will hardy support a 22" widescreen display or is it better to buy a 'normal' 19" ? | 20:40 |

| makaraki | ghaleb: sorry forgot it | 20:41 |
| tj__ | also... in debian etch... i could edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound and i had to add line for options snd-hda-intel model =toshiba.... in Ubuntu this file does not exits. | 20:41 |

| IceKing | tj__, creeate it | 20:41 |
| rutgermasi | every resolution that is available on the normal market | 20:41 |
| aurel42 | ghaleb: use the file manager to navigate to the folder /usr/share/doc/twiki and look in the files there, perhaps there's a solution. Just guessing, I don't use twiki. | 20:41 |
| zelrikriando | hey I forgot the command to pull some setting management GUI | 20:41 |

| Legendario | hi everyone, i am trying to erase a cd-rw on brasero, but i just can't. It's probably because the disc is write-protected because there is a linux distro on it. Can anyone help me | 20:42 |

| barfman_ | df -i | 20:43 |
| Flannel | ak5: It just stops? Have you checked the integrity of the CD? usually that means its a bad burn | 20:43 |
| zelrikriando | no Y-Town | 20:43 |
| kane77 | jaypro, I'm not sure, but they can be covered by the libk3b2-extracodecs but I never tried it.. | 20:43 |
| zelrikriando | something more....powerful | 20:43 |
| ak5 | Flannel, yeah I checked integrity is fine | 20:44 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 21:01 |

| astro76 | !webmin | moveax | 21:32 |
| ubottu | moveax: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 21:32 |
| hou5ton | kyle205: Am I right in thinking they are slowing down my system> | 21:32 |
| solexious | tor-mentor will try | 21:32 |
| heartsblood | Solexious: install the non-free flash plugin from synamptic. Sounds like you're using the flash build for 7.10. Did you originally download the plugin from adobes site? | 21:32 |
| ffm_ | mylogic, no idea. | 21:32 |

| lemsx1 | moveax: the man page has examples on other stuff | 21:33 |
| Tor-Mentor | ffm_, try gnome-device-manager instead =) | 21:33 |
| kyle205 | hou5ton: try turning them off and see if it speeds it up | 21:33 |
| astro76 | Znuff: right, there's # because you are root, without a password | 21:33 |

| lemsx1 | moveax: to rule out that possibility | 21:35 |
| moveax | lemsx1: no, from my ubuntu desktop | 21:35 |

| zetheroo | does anyone know if there exists a complete ndiswrapper deb package for Ubuntu ? | 21:35 |
| moveax | lemsx1: i haven't altered the firewall config locally. | 21:35 |

| lemsx1 | moveax: were you able to connect before? | 21:36 |
| moveax | lemsx1: no, this is the first time trying. | 21:36 |
| zzorn | beli: yep, haven't run one before | 21:36 |
| usser | moveax, oh nvm then | 21:36 |
| moveax | and the mysql daemon has been started, lemsx1 | 21:36 |
| moveax | usser: thanks :) | 21:36 |

| beli | zzorn: exim is a bit more complex, but really well. sendmail is also well....but i dont recommend it for folks new to mtas, cause it has a different way of configuration... | 21:38 |
| lemsx1 | moveax: if it works from the localhost, then you can try other things | 21:38 |
| zzorn | beli, ok | 21:38 |
| amenado | lemsx1-> how did you get a system on initramfs ? | 21:38 |
| beli | zzorn: and forget about qmail ;) try postfix....and use postgrey for spam protection...will take away over 90% of spam | 21:38 |
| zzorn | beli: Thanks for the tip | 21:39 |
| steven2 | I'm trying to get DOSBox to work and they have an rpm package. So I was wondering if there is a way to install from an .rpm file | 21:39 |
| mgolisch | yeah postgrey is cool | 21:39 |
| mgolisch | we use that at work too | 21:39 |

| steven2 | Does anyone know how to install rpm packages in Ubuntu? | 21:40 |
| usser | steven2, sudo apt-get install dosbox | 21:40 |
| moveax | lemsx1: yeah it works fine locally and this ebox isn't very useful really - how do I configure shit through it? | 21:40 |
| beli | usser: maybe rpm2deb | 21:40 |
| steven2 | usser: Ah there is a package in synaptic already? nice! | 21:40 |
| zzorn | beli, ok | 21:40 |
| usser | steven2, dosbox is in the repos no need to go somewhere trying to install rpm | 21:40 |
| moveax | lemsx1: ah never mind | 21:40 |
| moveax | lemsx1: i need to add modules | 21:40 |
| flexgrip | Got my roommate to install Hardy so he can access my nfs shares (for videos). His grub entry for windows erros with "A disk read error. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart" I can mount his ntfs drive from hardy. Anyone seen this before? | 21:40 |
| usser | steven2, right, but to answer the question tool called alien might help with rpm-deb conversion | 21:41 |
| STSX | I have Ubuntu and another distro installed on the same HD in different partitions: does anyone know if it is possible to run a program installed in the other distro on Ubuntu? That would save having to install all the same programs. Any ideas? | 21:41 |

| chrissy_ | Heya is there a quick and easy to way to adjust touch pad sensitivity? | 21:41 |
| macd | STSX, maybe a static binary, but chances are not much will work b/c of libs. | 21:41 |
| flexgrip | STSX - you talking about running a windows app in ubuntu? or two linux distros | 21:41 |
| beli | steven2: no good idea....most programs use dynamic libs | 21:42 |
| usser | steven2, yes | 21:42 |
| STSX | flexgrip: Two linux distros. | 21:42 |
| beli | steven2: for example type: ldd /bin/bash | 21:42 |
| steven2 | usser: Ok cool. | 21:42 |
| beli | steven2: ldd /bin/bash | 21:42 |
| chrissy_ | nevermind i got it! | 21:42 |
| beli | steven2: try that on the one distro...then on the other | 21:42 |
| * emmet makes sweet love to a goat behind the ostrich barn on a full moon | 21:43 | |
| flexgrip | STSX - if it is a small app you can do it. not really advisable though. But I have done it on my eee. | 21:43 |
| kyle205 | chrissy_: system > preferences > Mouse | 21:43 |
| beli | steven2: you will see that the binaries need different libs to run | 21:43 |
| steven2 | beli: I only have one right now. | 21:43 |
| beli | steven2: really dont mix stuff up | 21:43 |
| STSX | macd: Yes, that's exactly what I surmised, but I wondered if there is a way around library problems/environmental variables, etc. | 21:43 |
| beli | STSX: you will lead intro troubles....... | 21:43 |
| TuxPWNZ | Guys I installed Fvwm, but it didn't work, when I tried to use it it didn't start, how can I fix it? | 21:43 |
| macd | STSX, not very simply | 21:44 |
| beli | you may build statical versions...but what to do on upgrade? you need much time for compiling and adjusting stuff | 21:44 |
| beli | STSX: just let each distro as it is | 21:44 |
| flexgrip | or just have one distro | 21:44 |
| beli | flexgrip: right | 21:44 |
| void^ | TuxPWNZ: how did you try to start it? | 21:44 |
| STSX | macd: Yes, I figured it wasn't exactly simple, but has anyone done it for anything other than a self-contained binary? | 21:45 |
| * beli detex: think linux, not distribution! | 21:45 | |
| beli | STSX: for sure, i've done that really often for programs that need to be statical | 21:45 |

| Niek | thebishop: it seems efficient to me, and the new way to configure external monitors etc. I really did upgrade, rebooted my computer, and the only problem I had was the keyboard .. | 21:50 |
| usser | julio_neto, sudo dpkg -i *.deb from within the directory where u unpacked the packages | 21:50 |
| doun | flexgrip: if it involves passing obscure parameters to something like mplayer then I opine that is not as easy as windows | 21:50 |
| thebishop | Niek, i think the external monitor stuff was in the last version | 21:50 |
| julio_neto | usser, ahh NICE! thank you man! | 21:50 |

| Flannel | biabia: You may also, while you're looking through deadtree stuff, want to reboot and do a memtest. That may be able to see all of it, or tell you if some is bad or something | 22:48 |
| Mark_G | If I have 3 drives installed, how do I identify which one is specifically hd1, hd2 or hd3.. actually probably should be hd0, hd1, hd2? | 22:48 |
| c-ron | Y-Town, okay, followed those directions and will reboot.. brb | 22:48 |
| ipkaf | hi | 22:48 |
| ipkaf | can anyone explain me what this command do ? | 22:49 |
| ipkaf | $ svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ | 22:49 |
| biabia | flannel the manufacturer site for my pc shows max mem of 4gb | 22:49 |
| Flannel | Mark_G: in linux? sda, sdb, sdc, in grub, hd0, hd1, hd2 | 22:49 |
| Y-Town | REBOOT...HAHA | 22:49 |
| Mark_G | Flannel: yes.. sd? but for grub which referances everyting as hd | 22:49 |
| beli | Y-Town ;) | 22:49 |
| Mark_G | Flannel: ah.. gotcha.. just re-read.. thanks. | 22:49 |
| Flannel | Mark_G: there's a mapper in linux to map everything to SATA drives, it used to be hdX was for IDE, sdX was for SATA, now everything is mapped to SATA for simplicity. But yes, grub sees everything as hdX | 22:50 |
| Xyllo | quit | 22:50 |
| Flannel | ipkaf: it checks out the source from that url | 22:50 |
| Bytegatezero | when installing ubuntu from windows is there a way to make ubuntu accept booting from a fakraid partition it shares with windows xp? | 22:50 |
| effowe | hey i'm trying to use gparted to resize my xp partition and theres a warning saying "unable to read the contents of this filesystem".. anyone know why? | 22:50 |
| laeg | i have tried to disable pulseaudio because it is bugged via the ubuntu instructions by choosing alsa for all options in system > prefs > sound but still when vlc is paused in the background i don't get sound in other apps - how can i fix this? | 22:51 |
| Bytegatezero | lol gparted wont even format partitions for me | 22:51 |
| PeterFA | Where's the file that holds configuration data on the sound cards? | 22:51 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | ChaoticXSinZ | 22:51 |
| PeterFA | As in it gives the names for them and other things? | 22:51 |
| Mark_G | Flannel: I'm only doing this 'cause writing or re-writing grub after doing a fresh install of hardy on an empty drive resulted in no lising on boot.. just my original install/upgrade of hardy. | 22:51 |
| SeaPhor | wow! gparted has always worked great for me?? | 22:51 |
| effowe | soo, anyone know why i get that error? | 22:52 |
| Xtreme2020 | i have a problem with ubuntu 8.04 doesnt start | 22:52 |
| beli | for me too | 22:52 |
| beli | effowe: thats to specific...search the web | 22:52 |
| Flannel | Mark_G: What? Oh, a separate install. If you look in /boot/grub for that install, you'll see the menu.lst for that one, but creating them by hand isn't too difficult | 22:52 |
| Bytegatezero | i tried resizing so i had free space ...booted ubuntu made the partitions (fakeraid drive) ...no luck | 22:52 |

| soto | Can anyone tell me an easy way to send UDP data between to computers in order to test UDP throughput? | 22:57 |
| === flipmode is now known as Yvonneuf | ||
| * emma *smiles* | 22:57 | |
| soto | s/to/two | 22:57 |
| Mark_G | preface_guy: you can upgrade.. yes it's stable but you may end up with some quirks.. if you do the upgrade I would suggest putting your home directory in a separate partition just in case you need to reinstall fresh... you won't loose all your data. | 22:57 |
| === Whistlr is now known as YvonneqL | ||
| GIN | is the performance of Hardy 64bit better than the 32bit one? | 22:57 |
| Y-Town | preface_guy: load the cd and try it first and then make you own choice. | 22:58 |
| Flannel | Xtreme2020: please stop repeating yourself, we heard you the first time, and you'll need to be more specific. What does it do? where does it stop? etc | 22:58 |
| emma | GIN - That will depend on if you have 4 GB of RAM or more. | 22:58 |

| wirechief_intel | fsufitch: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 | 22:58 |
| preface_guy | Y-Town, what kind of difference it have ? | 22:58 |

| GIN | 2GB :\ | 22:58 |
| Flannel | !away > nico_|gone | 22:59 |
| emma | GIN - I am no expert but based on what I have been told, you will not reap the benefits unless you have 4 GB of RAM or more. | 22:59 |
| jasunto | where is an installed app's executable located in ubuntu? | 22:59 |
| Xtreme2020 | ok i update my ubuntu 8.04 since that doesnt boot | 22:59 |
| GIN | emma: I heard that code execution on a 64bit cpu is a bit faster | 22:59 |
| fallenangel | I am new to ubuntu 8.04, Is it really easy to get your system hacked if its wide open with no firewall? | 22:59 |
| dudus | fsufitch: log on command line mode and type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:00 |
| emma | GIN - Again I'm not an expert but I have been told that could be true for some calculation intensive apps but for most users and most uses there is no reason not to use 32 bit, which seems to be supported better (in my opinion) | 23:00 |
| fsufitch | dudus: thx, i'll try | 23:00 |
| kwaz | trying to install hardy on a poweredge 4300... so far it boots into BusyBox? anyone had the same problem? | 23:00 |
| Y-Town | preface_guy: when you load the cd you will be able to better compare for yourself | 23:00 |
| === YvonneqL is now known as YvonneuM | ||
| === Yvonneuf is now known as YvonneTr | ||
| dudus | fsufitch: the reinstall the nvidia packages to ensure they're post install scripts are properly run. | 23:00 |
| Flannel | fallenangel: no. Ubuntu has nothing listening by default, and you do have a firewall | 23:00 |
| Mark_G | brb all | 23:00 |
| Camirrakiu | hi people :D | 23:00 |
| fallenangel | thanks | 23:00 |
| wirechief_intel | fsufitch: make a backup of your xorg.conf before mucking it up | 23:00 |
| dudus | fsufitch: if you still get segfaults try to open a bug and attach relevant logs | 23:01 |
| fsufitch | wirechief_intel: thx, i learned that lesson long before ;) | 23:01 |
| GIN | emma: then 64bit is for me, cause I do work with a prog called matlab that does alot of calculations. | 23:01 |
| Camirrakiu | you know how i can open an csv file, with no openoffice.org ??? (what program i can use?) | 23:01 |
| helix | I need help using wine. I open an .exe file using wine windows emulator but nothing happens. How does wine work? | 23:01 |
| wirechief_intel | fsufitch yep makes it a lot easier on the eyes. lol | 23:01 |
| jasunto | default app install path? anyone know? | 23:01 |
| emma | GIN - That could be. You might also want to check out Maxima. | 23:01 |
| XedLos | Hye | 23:01 |
| Flannel | jasunto: Why do you ask? | 23:02 |
| XedLos | i just installed hardy heron and wanted to know how to enable desktop effects | 23:02 |
| Camirrakiu | you know how i can open an csv file, with no openoffice.org ??? (what OTHER program i can use?) | 23:02 |
| jasunto | i want to make x11vnc run at start up | 23:02 |
| Flannel | jasunto: type 'which x11vnc' | 23:02 |
| emma | GIN -- Of course the applications themselves have to be written to take advantage of 64 bit architecture. | 23:02 |
| emma | I imagine matlab is though. | 23:02 |
| Xtreme2020 | is there something to restore ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| Flannel | Xtreme2020: How does it "not boot" | 23:03 |
| XedLos | how can i enable desktop effets | 23:03 |
| jasunto | it said nothign when i did | 23:03 |
| kane77 | XedLos, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects | 23:03 |
| jasunto | just went to new line | 23:03 |
| helix | I need help using wine. I open an .exe file using wine windows emulator but nothing happens. How does wine work? | 23:03 |
| wirechief_intel | Xtreme2020: yes use your livecd | 23:03 |
| GIN | emma: yea, just found out that there is 64bit matlab version for Linux :-) | 23:03 |
| J-Unit | XedLos, in gutsy u go to system--->preferences--->appearance | 23:03 |
| emma | kane77, you are fast, finally one I can answer and you beat me to it. :) | 23:03 |
| GIN | it would be nice if it does the job 2x faster :) | 23:03 |
| emma | GIN -- That's excellent. Do you have to pay for it? | 23:03 |
| Flannel | jasunto: and what happens when you type 'x11nvc'? | 23:03 |
| Xtreme2020 | with live cd can i? | 23:03 |
| kane77 | emma, actually I'm not that fast ussually :D | 23:03 |

| GIN | emma: yes, but I ghet the license from uni | 23:03 |
| J-Unit | XedLos, then visual effects i forgot to mention and gutsy should be similar to hardy (but i havent tried hardy yet) | 23:03 |
| XedLos | now what | 23:03 |
| jasunto | brings up the thing saying you are starting it with no passwordc | 23:03 |

| Camirrakiu | =( hey people... no one knows how helpme? | 23:04 |
| wirechief_intel | helix just do wine packagename | 23:04 |
| kane77 | XedLos, select normal and if it works keep the preferences if not.. er.. troubleshoot :D | 23:04 |
| Flannel | jasunto: er... did you type it properly with which? 'which [program]' should give you the path to that program | 23:04 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, ill google quickly to c if i can help | 23:04 |
| helix | wirechief_intel, as in: $ wine simtower.exe ? | 23:05 |
| XedLos | i selected normal but now where do i go to get teh 3d cub | 23:05 |
| wirechief_intel | helix yes | 23:05 |
| Xtreme2020 | if i use my configurations will be as before or i have to start everything from zero? | 23:05 |
| wirechief_intel | helix must be able to find it too. | 23:05 |
| Camirrakiu | thnx... i'd google it, but i dont found anything =( | 23:05 |
| portokaosol | does anyone here knows if a command exists that will tell the system to rebuild itself? kinda like reinstalling but without the CD ? | 23:05 |
| emma | XedLos -- Put it on Extras | 23:05 |
| helix | wirechief_intel so do i specify the path too? | 23:05 |
| XedLos | ok i have it on extra | 23:05 |
| wirechief_intel | helix yes that will definetly help | 23:05 |
| emma | XedLos -- After you have put it on Extras then press Control+Alt and Move the screen with your mouse. | 23:06 |
| XedLos | nothing happens | 23:06 |
| kane77 | XedLos, you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager if you don't have extra | 23:06 |

| Copter | is it possible that ubuntu+firefox just doesnt look good on CRT? | 23:06 |
| wirechief_intel | jedimind check your media with md5sum or the test on grub | 23:07 |
| Copter | :o | 23:07 |
| Copter | is it possible that ubuntu+firefox just doesnt look good on CRT? | 23:07 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, if thats sumtin like excel and u dont want to use openoffice.org, gnumeric should work? is it a spreadsheet kind of thing or am i far off? | 23:07 |
| kane77 | XedLos, err. you don't have to.. just press ctrl+alt click and drag mouse.. | 23:07 |
| jedimind | wirechief_intel: i did that, i checked the integrity of the cd and it had no problems | 23:07 |
| Camirrakiu | ill see :D | 23:07 |
| Camirrakiu | thnx | 23:07 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, if u still have problems tell me | 23:07 |
| XedLos | still nothing | 23:07 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, also tell me if it works ;) | 23:07 |
| emma | XedLos - open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 23:07 |
| XedLos | im installing the settings manager | 23:07 |
| Camirrakiu | gnumeric opens csv, ? | 23:07 |
| wirechief_intel | jedimind: ok well it may need a boot cheat noapic | 23:07 |
| kane77 | XedLos, do you have multiple workspaces enabled? | 23:08 |
| XedLos | im using synaptic manager | 23:08 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, it should according to site | 23:08 |
| jedimind | so select noapic under the options ? | 23:08 |
| Camirrakiu | aha :D | 23:08 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, wait let me check again | 23:08 |
| emma | XedLos -- Once you have the settings manager then in General Options --> Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4. Then you can grab the desktop with control+alt+left-mouse-button, and drag the cube around, or rotate the cube with control+alt+left/right. | 23:08 |
| Camirrakiu | im installing it :D | 23:08 |
| wirechief_intel | jedimind you edit the grub and add it then select b to boot it | 23:08 |
| J-Unit | Camirrakiu, i think i found a thread for u | 23:09 |
| RyanPrior | Camirrakiu: Everything should be able to open CSV - Gnumeric, OpenOffice Spreadsheets, KOffice, etc. | 23:09 |

| wirechief_intel | helix it only uses the cheat once, it it works fine with cheat then you put it in the menu.lst after you make a backup. | 23:13 |
| userlol | RyanPrior ya i have that setup, but im not sure how to list files so that i can dl them via my website | 23:13 |
| RyanPrior | jedimind: You can edit /boot/grub/*, or you can install the StartUp-Manager which lets you do some GRUB editing from a GUI. | 23:14 |
| Camirrakiu | u know some channel where write in spanish?? | 23:14 |
| wirechief_intel | !grub | 23:14 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:14 |

| XedLos | how do i enable multipl;e desktops | 23:14 |
| RyanPrior | userlol: You put them in the directory which you set up to be a document root using the config file, then you start apache, then you just access them via HTTP. | 23:14 |
| Camirrakiu | ahá, thnx! | 23:14 |
| rodolfo | guys, I want to organize my icons on the desktop. it's messed up. any ideas on how to do that? I've tried resizing the icon, changed it's name, but nothing seems to work out..... | 23:14 |
| RyanPrior | !es | Camirrakiu | 23:14 |
| ubottu | Camirrakiu: please see above | 23:14 |
| userlol | RyanPrior ah ok, thanks | 23:14 |
| helix | wirechief_intel, What do you mean? yes i'll make a backup of menu.lst, but i dont get the "uses the cheat once" part | 23:14 |
| patifa | Xtreme2020, if you 'restore' your system with the LiveCD, you'll want to save your home directory (/home/YOURUSERNAME), otherwise you get to do everything over again. | 23:15 |
| wirechief_intel | jedimind: see the !grub above for details | 23:15 |
| tommy | openoffice documents in Hardy shows bullets as little squares. Any fix for this? | 23:15 |
| jedimind | yup reading now | 23:15 |
| wirechief_intel | helix the edited grub is only for that boot, it will disappear on the next boot | 23:15 |
| XedLos | how can i have 4 desktops right now i only have 2 | 23:15 |
| Xtreme2020 | ok | 23:15 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | hey, hello, everybody, when I put the ubuntu installer disk on my lsp, it doesnt recognize my windows vista, so i decided to stop everything since I'll need the vista to have connection to internet to install my wi-fi | 23:15 |
| wirechief_intel | helix you edit it when you boot the system | 23:15 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | hey, hello, everybody, when I put the ubuntu installer disk on my lap, it doesnt recognize my windows vista, so i decided to stop everything since I'll need the vista to have connection to internet to install my wi-fi | 23:15 |
| paganini | Does anyone here still use the old svgalib library? | 23:15 |
| ubuntunovice | why does ubuntu use these funny UUID labels instead of /dev/sdb1 for instance? | 23:15 |
| RyanPrior | !repeat | NuevoUsuarioUbun | 23:16 |
| ubottu | NuevoUsuarioUbun: 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 | 23:16 |
| helix | wirechied_intel, oh that way, kk i see | 23:16 |
| helix | wirechied_intel, so I add a new line, and type in: acpi=force | 23:16 |
| tommy | openoffice documents in Hardy shows bullets as little squares. Any fix for this? openoffice new version BUG? | 23:16 |
| Xtreme2020 | im new using ubuntu, how do i save everything to work find? | 23:16 |
| patifa | ubuntulog, /dev/sdL# can change depending how the hard drives are arranged in a sytem. | 23:16 |
| wirechief_intel | ubuntunovice: that all was changed with kernel 2.6.22 and all new kernels use that | 23:16 |
| Bjbbop | hello all | 23:16 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | hey, hello, everybody, when I put the ubuntu installer disk on my lap, it doesnt recognize my windows vista, so i decided to stop everything since I'll need the vista to have connection to internet to install my wi-fi, does snyonr know whats the problem, why vista is not recognized | 23:16 |
| RyanPrior | ubuntunovice: The UUID-based fstab is an improvement because it lets you rename your devices without breaking the fstab. You can change it to be the old way if you like, but I don't recommend it. | 23:16 |
| helix | wirechied_intel, Right? so i'll reboot if i am correct. | 23:17 |
| laeg | i have tried to disable pulseaudio because it is bugged via the ubuntu instructions by choosing alsa for all options in system > prefs > sound but still when vlc is paused in the background i don't get sound in other apps - how can i fix this? | 23:17 |
| patifa | NuevoUsuarioUbun, You don't need to repeat. Walk me through your problem. | 23:17 |
| Zarbuck | Ok this is probably a stupid question but I have windows on sda1 and ubuntu on sda4... I never boot windows and its not even on my grub config anymore but sda1 is set as the active partition... can I set sda4 as active and then reformat sda1 as additional ext3 storage space? | 23:17 |
| Bjbbop | if someone can help me it would be appriciated | 23:17 |
| wirechief_intel | helix yes | 23:17 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | ok, | 23:17 |
| Bjbbop | i cannot download files to mu aMULE | 23:17 |
| ubuntunovice | ryanprior: is it ubuntu specific? why would I want to rename my devices? | 23:17 |
| RyanPrior | !anyone | Bjbbop | 23:17 |
| ubottu | Bjbbop: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:17 |
| XedLos | anyone know how i can have multiople desktop spaces | 23:17 |
| tommy | i have bullet problems in my DOC files with Openoffice. Any fix for this? | 23:17 |
| paganini | In feisty I wrote some graphics programs using svgalib, but they won't compile in hardy. I installed libsvga1-dev. The header SEEMS to include fine, but all of the svga-related function calls say "undefined reference." | 23:17 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | ubuntu cd installer doesnt recognize windows vista | 23:17 |
| Bjbbop | it doesnt open the links | 23:17 |
| wirechief_intel | helix read the text on the grub it will give you the commands you can use. | 23:17 |
| patifa | NuevoUsuarioUbun, what do you mean by "doesn't recognize?" | 23:17 |
| laeg | XedLos: that's default on ubuntu - press control+alt+cursor arrow | 23:18 |
| scotiobade2 | Ok i figured out how to take music off the ipod touch but how do i put music on the ipod touch. | 23:18 |
| RyanPrior | ubuntunovice: There are reasons to want to rename devices - why do you want to edit your fstab? | 23:18 |
| tsula | Hey all, I'm new to Ubuntu, and have noticed that the computer randomly locks up after turning the computer on. Usually when this happens I am only able to move the mouse, No response when trying to click on anything. Anyone have any ideas? The times that it takes to lock up varies too, from 5 minutes or hours... | 23:18 |
| Bjbbop | how do i open links and start downloading to a MULE | 23:18 |
| XedLos | laeg: i only have 2 spaces i want 4 | 23:18 |
| ubuntunovice | how can I destructively format (so I don't just want to delete the table) a harddisk or patition? | 23:18 |
| elphias | what tsula would like to know is is there a way to fix the ranom lockups | 23:18 |
| RyanPrior | tsula: When it happens, does ctrl+alt+backspace do anything? | 23:18 |
| wirechief_intel | tsula if you are using a nvidia graphic driver that might happen, downgrade it. | 23:19 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | when I get to the screen to make partitions it doesn't detects vist as os | 23:19 |
| ubuntunovice | ryanprior: well I have a couple of old linux partitions I want to format but I couldn't find them in my filetree so I looked in fstab | 23:19 |
| patifa | NuevoUsuarioUbun, it doesn't look at OS's. Look for "NTFS", it's the file system format Vista uses. | 23:19 |
| tsula | Only time i've used control alt backspace, it didn't do anything... even the mouse stopped responding. | 23:19 |
| ubuntunovice | ryanprior: they are not there. but when I try to mount them the system says the partition are already mounted.... but where?! | 23:19 |
| patifa | NuevoUsuarioUbun, The NTFS one is likely where Vista is stored. | 23:19 |
| RyanPrior | ubuntunovice: To destructively format a partition, I suggest using dd to copy a massive amount of /dev/urand to fill the whole partition, then shredding the resulting file, then doing a normal format. | 23:19 |
| Dante123 | hi all. My dad gave me his older laptop (not that old actually) it is a Dell Inspiron 1300. Unfortunately, there is something amiss on the hd. Windows would not boot without an error related to the hard drive. Originally, I created a new partition and installed Ubuntu 7.10. That seems to work as I think the bad part of the disk was never actually accessed with ubuntu installed. I have been running it that way for a few wee | 23:19 |
| wirechief_intel | tsula check google for RSEIUB it might save your butt | 23:20 |
| XedLos | doses an ne know ow i cane enable muyltiple desktop spaces | 23:20 |
| tsula | okay | 23:20 |
| greybeard95a | hello all: how can I get rid of evince without hosing my system? | 23:20 |
| Dante123 | Is there a way to isolate the "bad area". In the long term I will get a new hd...but in the meantime I'd like to get ubuntu up and running like before. Any suggestions? | 23:20 |
| RyanPrior | greybeard95a: Why do you need to get rid of evince? | 23:20 |
| wirechief_intel | tsula what graphics card are you using ? | 23:20 |
| ubuntunovice | ryanprior: but how can I mount the partition to begin with.. when I use mount /mnt/test /dev/sdb1 it says already mounted | 23:20 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | ok, I know, but in the screen that should detect other operating system it shows nothing | 23:20 |
| greybeard95a | Hi RyanPrior: It locks up my system every time. | 23:20 |
| emma | XedLos, have you installed the compiz settings manager? | 23:20 |
| Y-Town | Dante123: What makes you think its the disk and not winblows? | 23:20 |
| Bjbbop | does anyone has an enswer for my question ? | 23:20 |
| TheFourthOne | dante123: if you press F12 at the dell logo you can run diagnostics on your HDD | 23:21 |
| RyanPrior | Dante123: I don't suggest trying to continue use of a hard drive despite hardware failure. It's a recipe for disaster. | 23:21 |
| XedLos | i did | 23:21 |
| patifa | NuevoUsuarioUbun, You're from Mexico according to your IP. Would it help to use an Ubuntu help channel in Spanish? | 23:21 |
| emma | XedLos, have you run it yet? | 23:21 |
| Zarbuck | Ok this is probably a stupid question but I have windows on sda1 and ubuntu on sda4... I never boot windows and its not even on my grub config anymore but sda1 is set as the active partition... can I set sda4 as active and then reformat sda1 as additional ext3 storage space? | 23:21 |
| emma | XedLos, did we get your cube working? | 23:21 |
| Outie | anyone have an idea why Rhythmbox would just stop updating its library after the first 300 files? | 23:21 |
| RyanPrior | greybeard95a: There's probably a problem that's deeper than just Evince then. :-) | 23:21 |
| greybeard95a | RyanPrior: I see Ubuntu Desktop depends on it. | 23:21 |
| NuevoUsuarioUbun | thanks for nothing patifa, have nice day | 23:21 |
| patifa | k | 23:21 |
| XedLos | i only have 2 spaces so i di not get a cube | 23:21 |
| greybeard95a | RyanPrior: The system seems fine as long as I don't run Evince. | 23:21 |
| wirechief_intel | Zarbuck look at gparted you might be able to do that with it. | 23:22 |
| patifa | That went well :\ | 23:22 |
| * emma shrugs at patifa | 23:22 | |
| RyanPrior | greybeard95a: Does it panic the kernel, or lock up X, or lock up gdm, or gnome-panel, or what? | 23:22 |
| Zarbuck | wirechief_intel, I can... I'm wondering if it is safe? | 23:22 |
| XedLos | so i need to have more spaces | 23:22 |
| Zarbuck | I don't want to end up with and unbootable system then have to try and fix it | 23:22 |
| chairmeleon | hello. I have a question about...HAL-awareness, I believe is the correct term | 23:22 |
| XedLos | does anyone know how to do it | 23:22 |
| RyanPrior | greybeard95a: You can safely remove the ubuntu-desktop package - it won't bork your whole system, I don't think. However, it will be necessary in order to upgrade your system to a newer distro. | 23:23 |
| chairmeleon | I have all my music on partitions outside my /home, partitions rt | 23:23 |
| greybeard95a | RyanPrior: All I know is that the system stops responding, the clock in the upper left stops advancing, but the cursor still responds somewhat | 23:23 |
| Bjbbop | can anybody help with an aMULE problem ??? | 23:23 |
| RyanPrior | !anybody | Bjbbop | 23:23 |
| ubottu | Bjbbop: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:23 |
| wirechief_intel | Zarbuck hmm well i have never done it, cannot guareentee it is, (no one would do that) but seems you have virtually blown windows away, check google for more information | 23:23 |
| TheFourthOne | dante123: actually even better you can hold down the function key when you turn it on and it will run through some quick tests on all H/W | 23:24 |
| tsula | wirechief_intel, I have a ati mobility x600 graphics card | 23:24 |
| === Griverr is now known as Griver | ||
| greybeard95a | RyanPrior: Is Ubuntu-Desktop a metapackage? | 23:24 |
| RyanPrior | greybeard95a: It is. | 23:24 |
| patifa | Zarbuck, the "super GRUB disk" is a neat tool you may want to look into, if you have a spare CD blank. | 23:24 |
| chairmeleon | *partitions that I automount via clicking on their shortcuts. so sometimes, one partition is not mounted in the same folder it was before. amarok notices this and finds my music library regardless of what folder the disk is mounted in. GNOME/gtk music managers do not, is there any solution for this? Because I really do prefer gnome | 23:24 |
| wirechief_intel | tsula are you using proprietary graphics driver ? | 23:24 |
| greybeard95a | RyanPrior: thanks! | 23:24 |
| russe11 | I have an Atheros wireless card, I'd like to find the exact model. How can I do that? | 23:25 |
| RyanPrior | russe11: lspci | 23:25 |
| ubuntunovice | ryanprior: how do I use this dd command=?# | 23:25 |
| wirechief_intel | tsula does these lockups occur in windows ? | 23:25 |
| TheFourthOne | anyone here know anything about jack? | 23:25 |
| tsula | no they don't | 23:25 |
| RyanPrior | russe11: Or save yourself some hunting with lspci | grep atheros | 23:25 |
| elphias | wirechief_intel: i can tell you as tsula is my freind, no they don't | 23:25 |
| usser | lol | 23:25 |
| russe11 | RyanPrior, I actually did that, but it needed to be "grep Atheros", heh. Thanks! | 23:25 |
| usser | lets see | 23:25 |
| RyanPrior | russe11: Yeah, I always forget to suggest -i | 23:25 |
| usser | !jack | 23:25 |
| ubottu | Factoid jack not found | 23:25 |
| russe11 | RyanPrior, -i ignores case? | 23:26 |
| RyanPrior | russe11: Yes. -i for "insensitive" | 23:26 |
| wirechief_intel | elphias: what graphics driver ? vesa fglrx radeon ati ? | 23:26 |
| russe11 | RyanPrior, thanks for the tip, I'll remember that. | 23:26 |

| ian_liu88 | is there a way to disable computer bell? | 23:28 |
| Zarbuck | patifa, Thanks... it looks interesting... I will have to remember that if something messes up | 23:28 |
| shinjin | Thanks | 23:28 |
| elphias | wirechief_intel: he's useing some kind of intell chipset for his video card | 23:28 |
| RyanPrior | ian_liu88: I know there is, and it's easy to do, but I forget how. | 23:28 |
| RyanPrior | ian_liu88: I bet you can find it on Google. | 23:29 |
| patifa | Zarbuck, I used it to readjust my boot pointers to restore grub, and later to restore an XP bootloader on a friend's botched Ubuntu install. It's nice :) | 23:29 |

| ian_liu88 | Thanks guys =) | 23:29 |
| wirechief_intel | Varan yes if your bios supports that. | 23:30 |
| Varan | yes | 23:30 |
| Varan | but I can only find how to install ubuntu | 23:30 |
| Varan | from network | 23:30 |
| Varan | does the standaard netboot start with grub? | 23:30 |
| BillyJoe | I did the upgrade and now I can not hear any of the sound from the wmv's? | 23:30 |
| emma | XedLos - Yes you have to change something in Compiz Configuration Settings, but you have to tell me if you have opened that yet. | 23:31 |
| randal | hey does anyone know how to change the start button | 23:31 |
| Varan | because i only have to rewrite the mrb | 23:31 |
| wirechief_intel | Varan you dont have a cdrom ? | 23:31 |
| Varan | no | 23:31 |

| Dante123 | ran dell diagnostics and no problems from that on HD either | 23:32 |
| wirechief_intel | Varan not sure if that is in !grub if not check google for ubuntu terminalserver | 23:32 |

| Varan | terminalserver? | 23:33 |
| Varan | hmm owke | 23:33 |
| wirechief_intel | Varan yes | 23:33 |
| Zarbuck | Ok so heres a question... If grub is written to the mbr (I assume it is) and it handles all the booting then do I actually need an active partition to be set? | 23:33 |
| wirechief_intel | Varan it is basically a pxboot | 23:33 |
| Varan | yeah | 23:34 |
| patifa | Zarbuck, possibly. Not all of GRUB is in the MBR. | 23:34 |
| Varan | hmm owke | 23:34 |
| wirechief_intel | Zarbuck i dont have | 23:34 |
| elphias | ssh is ports 22 and 64 udp right? | 23:34 |

| randal | gilan: ??? do you know how | 23:34 |
| wirechief_intel | Zarbuck never had to set flags in any distro i have installed | 23:34 |
| kajo | I am attempting to install GnuGo & Quarry (a GUI to handle GnuGo); I was going to install the tarball, and had downloaded the tars for both, but then I found them both on aptitude. So I installed them (I think?) with aptitude's terminal UI. How do I use them now? | 23:34 |
| wirechief_intel | Zarbuck never had to set flags except for windows ;) | 23:35 |
| kajo | typing in "quarry" gives me nothing. | 23:35 |
| wirechief_intel | Zarbuck then i had to donate 4 quarts of blood too | 23:35 |
| Zarbuck | haha | 23:36 |
| Mark_G | Can I assume (dangerous) that if the live CD doesn't detect my monitor resolution correctly with a nvidia card that I will have to do some tweeking after installing? | 23:36 |

| drewby | jedimindtricks: how do we know it's more stable? it hasn't been out nearly as long... | 23:37 |
| wirechief_intel | Mark_G: yep see this help http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 | 23:37 |

| jedimindtricks | im a web developer ive been running ff3 since b1 | 23:38 |

| drewby | jedimindtricks: 1 person doesn't constitute a valid statistic, but either way, it's just a beef, I'm not trying to convince anyone to switch back or anything. I'm just saying in a perfect world... | 23:39 |
| randal | gilan: how do i open it | 23:39 |
| kajo | I've never used the gui, don't particularly want to. | 23:39 |
| elphias | RyanPrior: im not quite sure what your point is, and i have been an ubuntu user for 5 years, im doubtfull that pertains to me. | 23:39 |
| Y-Town | kajo: my bad :o/ | 23:39 |
| gilan | open terminal | 23:39 |
| sparr__ | aptitude wants to remove hundreds of packages that apt-get doesnt. how can i convince it not to? | 23:39 |
| RyanPrior | elphias, kajo: I switched your names. | 23:39 |
| Mark_G | kajo: sudo aptitude to get the text based menu.. find and tag the packages you want and apply | 23:39 |
| gilan | gconf-editor | 23:39 |
| RyanPrior | kajo: What about aptitude do you need help understanding? | 23:40 |
| zelrikriando | why is there no shortcut for gconf-editor | 23:40 |
| randal | gilan: how tho | 23:40 |
| RyanPrior | kajo: Have you read the man page? | 23:40 |
| gilan | randal: open terminal | 23:40 |
| jedimindtricks | drewby: i disagree, my opinion trumps the rest of the community | 23:40 |
| jedimindtricks | :) | 23:40 |
| Mark_G | zelrikriando: there is off the Applications menu | 23:40 |
| kajo | mark ryan: I just used sudo aptitude, found two programs I wanted (gnugo & quarry), downloaded them (or so it seems?) and now I don't know what to do. | 23:40 |
| randal | gilan: ya then | 23:40 |
| evilgnome | sparr__: is this when trying to uninstall packags? | 23:40 |
| gilan | randal: and | 23:40 |
| gilan | randal: gconf-editor | 23:40 |
| zelrikriando | Mark_G: where | 23:40 |
| randal | gilan: i got it | 23:40 |
| gilan | ok | 23:41 |
| wirechief_intel | elphias you are using fglrx | 23:41 |
| kajo | Does aptitude actually install the program, or just download the tar and all dependencies? | 23:41 |
| randal | gilan: now what | 23:41 |
| gilan | randal: apps > panel >objects | 23:41 |
| Mark_G | zelrikriando: toward the bottom.. I'm on the live cd right now and it's not available. It is only after install. but might not be called gconf-editor | 23:41 |
| Starnestommy | kajo: it downlads the deb, dependencies, and installs them | 23:41 |
| Flannel | kajo: it installs it. It odens't use tars though, it uses debs | 23:41 |
| kajo | And I am pretty sure it just deleted over 100MB of other files that didn't really seem related. | 23:41 |
| sparr__ | evilgnome: no, when trying to dist-upgrade | 23:41 |
| kajo | Ok. | 23:41 |
| randal | gilan: then what | 23:41 |
| kajo | Then how do I access my newly isntalled programs? | 23:42 |
| Mark_G | kajo: by "name" | 23:42 |
| anabolix | anyone know a shortcut for minimizing xchat to system tray? | 23:42 |
| wirechief_intel | elphias you need to make a backup of your xorg.conf and do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and use vesa and see if your lockups stop | 23:42 |
| tsula | Elphias, it's froze again... Apparently, that's all that works, moving the mouse around and typing. | 23:42 |
| gilan | randal: Click through them until you find the one where the value for "object_type" is "menu-object". | 23:42 |
| kajo | I tried typing in "quarry". No luck. | 23:42 |
| zelrikriando | Mark_G: ok I dont have it...I dont see any shortcut for it | 23:42 |
| evilgnome | sparr__: try sudo aptitude afe-upgrade | 23:42 |
| evilgnome | *safe-upgrade | 23:42 |
| kajo | I tried typing in "quarry". No luck. @ mark | 23:42 |
| randal | gilan: what one do i click | 23:42 |
| wirechief_intel | tsula he is using fglrx you need to switch back to vesa | 23:42 |
| akatsuki | hi | 23:42 |

| Josdell | hey everyone, i know you all might be busy, but I need help restoring my eth0 (wired) connection, its gone, its no where, lspci lists it but its nowhere being used at all, I need some help | 23:43 |
| elphias | wirechief_intel: can you help tsula directly? i am not able to help him untill i get this setup your going to have to walk him through the steps, as he is a brand new user | 23:43 |
| gilan | randal: you'll see a series of object_x subitems. | 23:43 |
| Mark_G | akatsuki: it is not "free".. | 23:43 |
| randal | ya | 23:43 |
| Flannel | kajo: try dpkg -L quarry | grep /usr/bin | 23:43 |
| akatsuki | opera?? | 23:43 |
| usser | akatsuki, its not there, go to opera.com they have an ubuntu repo that u can add | 23:43 |
| akatsuki | since when? | 23:43 |
| randal | gilan: ya object_1 and object _2 | 23:43 |
| usser | akatsuki, since forever | 23:43 |
| akatsuki | ok | 23:43 |
| usser | akatsuki, opera was never free | 23:44 |
| kajo | It said quarry isn't installed. | 23:44 |
| kajo | -_- | 23:44 |
| Mark_G | akatsuki: not price wise.. codec wise | 23:44 |
| kajo | @flannel | 23:44 |
| azexian | !ubotu flash > azexian | 23:44 |
| wirechief_intel | Mark_G: try using xrandr that will show your resolution then try using xrandr -s 1024x768 | 23:44 |
| steph291 | I have a problem when I install packages with apt ... and the end of the process it try to install a new kernel image and fail | 23:44 |
| gilan | randal: Click through them until you find the one where the value for "object_type" is "menu-object". | 23:44 |
| Flannel | kajo: then you haven't installed it | 23:44 |
| Mark_G | wirechief_intel: thanks.. | 23:44 |
| Flannel | kajo: try sudo aptitude install quarry | 23:44 |
| Josdell | hey everyone, i know you all might be busy, but I need help restoring my eth0 (wired) connection, its gone, its no where, lspci lists it but its nowhere being used at all, I need some help | 23:45 |
| wirechief_intel | Mark_G: i got hung on phone call ;) | 23:45 |
| Mark_G | wirechief_intel: it'll also work with xrandr -s 1280x1024 right? | 23:45 |
| randal | gilan: i dont know what im looking for | 23:45 |
| kajo | I must be misunderstanding the use of aptitude. I use search, and find it. I click "g" several times, and it does something. What am I doing wrong? | 23:45 |
| randal | gilan: they both have it | 23:45 |
| gilan | randal: menu-bar | 23:45 |
| wirechief_intel | Mark_G: check with xrandr that will give the resolutions you can use | 23:45 |
| kajo | I thought I did that before and it did nothing. | 23:45 |
| kajo | But it's installing a package now. | 23:45 |
| kajo | Thanks, Flannel. | 23:46 |
| sparr__ | evilgnome: that doesnt seem to change the behavior of dist-upgrade | 23:46 |

| randal | gilan: found it its not under object_1 its under menu_bar_screen0 | 23:47 |
| randal | gilan: now what | 23:47 |
| gilan | randal: http://www.natewelch.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=41 | 23:47 |
| gilan | randal: this way | 23:48 |
| gilan | randal: sorry my english poor | 23:48 |
| Mark_G | Weird.. on boot of the live cd it shows the correct time set by the system clock.. after installing for a while it sets the clock back 9 hours.. | 23:48 |
| randal | gilan: your doing fine i found it now what do i do | 23:48 |
| wirechief_intel | Mark_G: you have to set it manually (i have had to do that at times) | 23:49 |
| wirechief_intel | mark[oz]: man you really have time savings...hahaha | 23:50 |

| chairmeleon | I keep my music on partitions outside of /home, that I automount via clicking on their shortcuts. so sometimes, one partition is not mounted in the same folder it was before. amarok notices this and finds my music library regardless of what folder the disk is mounted in. GNOME/gtk music managers do not, is there any solution for this? Because I really do prefer gnome | 23:52 |
| evilgnome | sparr__: why are you using dist-upgrade instead of safe-upgrade? | 23:52 |
| sparr__ | evilgnome: because i want some of those abandoned packages to be uninstalled | 23:53 |
| evilgnome | but only some? | 23:53 |

| catalyst | I intend to install a java virtual machine on ubuntu server 7.10 (I believe). How do I achieve this without simultaneously apparently installing X11? | 23:53 |
| sparr__ | evilgnome: i dont want it to remove lots of applications. i do want it to remove libraries not in use by anything. | 23:54 |
| thingy | catalyst: download the tar ball from sun's site and install the tar ball...you can't avoid the x11 deps with the deb packages | 23:55 |
