| Fritzel | alright | 00:00 |
| linkmaster03 | How can I make a launcher that goes to a directory then runs a .jar file? Because if I give the absolute location of the jar, it doesnt start | 00:00 |
| zSoilworker | Fritzel: I'm trying another solution thou | 00:00 |

| dpowerd | gracias | 00:01 |
| Fritzel | zSoilworker, alright | 00:01 |
| linkmaster03 | jrib: would I do that by making an empty file, writing the commands, and calling that file? | 00:01 |
| jrib | linkmaster03: yes, and the first line should be: #!/bin/bash | 00:02 |
| druew | hey people... id like to set up a browseable list of files i have located on a home network . what do i need for that ... it would just be so that files could be downloaded .... no need to be extra secure or log in and such ... | 00:02 |
| zSoilworker | Fritzel: have you tried starting ffox w/aoss? | 00:02 |
| linkmaster03 | jrib: thank you | 00:02 |
| BlueLaguna | What's the command to list all drives in a system again? fdisk -l ? | 00:02 |
| Fritzel | zSoilworker, yes it didn't seem to make a difference | 00:02 |
| dpowerd | druew, perhaps samba | 00:02 |
| === Bar2 is now known as BartS | ||
| Nehal | BlueLaguna: yes, sudo fdisk -l | 00:02 |
| Hoenikker | i've installed python2.4 and i still get a "error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" against an application linked with that library | 00:02 |
| STSX | linkmaster03: Be sure to make the script executable, i.e. use something like "chmod +x myscript" | 00:03 |
| BlueLaguna | Nehal: Oh right, thanks. I forgot it needs root permissions | 00:03 |
| druew | dpowerd: yeah that might be something thanks | 00:03 |

| WarAngel | #elitewarez | 00:04 |

| zSoilworker | Fritzel: and edited /etc/firefox/firefoxrc dsp? | 00:04 |
| * emma *smiles* | 00:04 | |
| Fritzel | zSoilworker, no that I havn't done I tried to aoss firefox, I didn't know about that setting one moment | 00:04 |
| BartS | Figured out my dual-head problem: Window manager was only drawing background for the size of the larger of the two screens. Restarting the window manager after configuring the dual heads fixed the background. compiz won't handle desktop that big, though (search ubuntu bugs for details) so had to revert to metacity. | 00:04 |
| Fritzel | zSoilworker, it should read aoss? | 00:04 |
| dpnoid | if I connect to an access point, the bottom light comes on, and the icon just spins for a minute or two, and then disconnects. | 00:05 |
| zSoilworker | Fritzel: gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc | 00:05 |
| STSX | dpnoid: Have you looked at using "madwifi"? I don't have an Atheros card, but I think madwifi is for Atheros chipsets. | 00:05 |
| dpnoid | but if I set an ip address on ath0 _while_ it's spinning, I can ping stuff | 00:05 |

| Fritzel | done | 00:05 |
| zSoilworker | Fritzel: restart ffox | 00:05 |
| Fritzel | did testing | 00:05 |
| zSoilworker | zSoilworker: restart session jincase. | 00:06 |

| urlwolf | Is there any program that tracks the apps you have been working on and gives you stats? | 00:07 |
| corq-FL | is there a safe, GUI tool for editing GRUB? | 00:07 |

| zSoilworker | Fritzel: ok | 00:07 |
| YouKnowMe | Help? I just added 2gbs ram to my system, giving me 3 total in two sticks, now ubuntu is running very very sluggish and the CPU is maxed out all the time. Remove extra ram, problem gone. I get an error in (or after) grub telling me something about being unable to acolatte(?) some PCI bus on sector 1 and 9... I really have no idea whats going on, help? | 00:07 |
| dpnoid | YouKnowMe, did you turn off your swapfile? | 00:07 |
| === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso | ||
| YouKnowMe | dpnoid: no? I don't understand why I'd need to? | 00:08 |
| dpnoid | YouKnowMe, just checking, it sounded like you might have | 00:09 |
| dpnoid | YouKnowMe, does it still give you problems if you use just the 2gb stick without the 1gb? | 00:09 |
| dpnoid | YouKnowMe, (aka, memcheck'ish type stuff) | 00:09 |
| zSoilworker | Fritzel: brb | 00:10 |
| jimdb | wols: the issue turned out to be (with the flash drive) that the little write protect notch was set to protect it. but, in trying to investigate the issue I made changes to the drive's mount point properties and made a mess of that. luckily i found a launchpad article that explained a similar error and was able to use gconf-editor to correct my issue. thanks for your help, but the answer isn't always that everything in linux is a file | 00:10 |
| dpnoid | I'm using an atheros wireless card in my laptop (ar2413). if I connect to an access point, the bottom light comes on, and the icon just spins for a minute or two, and then disconnects. | 00:10 |

| dpnoid | dpnoid, no | 00:11 |
| dpnoid | :p | 00:11 |
| dpnoid | YouKnowMe, no | 00:11 |
| drivetrax | YouKnowMe, are the sticks 3gb total, or 1gb each | 00:11 |
| dpnoid | YouKnowMe, try taking out the 1gb stick, using only the 2gb stick, and see if you still have problems | 00:12 |

| STSX | dpnoid: Have you verified if you can connect to any other APs? | 00:12 |
| dpnoid | Zak, yes, although there's a snaffu with flash right now (adobe knows about the bug and should have a fix at some point) | 00:12 |
| YouKnowMe | drivetrax: 1x 2gb 1x 1Gb | 00:13 |

| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 00:13 |
| AnswerGuy | I have a very odd question: traditionally /usr/bin/[ and /usr/bin/test were links to the same executable. On RHEL5, Debian Lenny/Sid and on the Hardy I find that they are separate files with different inodes and file sizes. What's up with that? | 00:13 |
| dpnoid | Zak, all previous versions have allowed that, unless you turned off sound mixing | 00:14 |
| clintchance | I am looking at this page http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-490800.html and the first command gives a permision denied any one know why? | 00:14 |
| STSX | dpnoid: Are you using the network-admin to set up the connection? i.e. System > Admin > Network? | 00:14 |
| dpnoid | Zak, individual applications might be broken, and demand exclusive rights to the sound card, but anythign reasonably modern shouldn't have that problem (again, flash snaffu not withstanding) | 00:14 |
| emma | AnswerGuy, I do not know but that might be a question better for the folks in #ubuntu+1 | 00:14 |
| * AnswerGuy is guessing his question probably should be sent to the coreutils maintainers. :( | 00:14 | |

| Fritzel | zSoilworker, ok after running the steps I started firefox and it chugged along loading then pausing loading then pausing, then I noticed an update to nspluginwrapper available in the repos and verified it as being a newer version so I went ot install it and I got this, does it make any sense? how would you resolve it? http://pastebin.com/d13e3bf99 | 00:15 |

| STSX | dpnoid: Are you using WPA or WPA2? | 00:16 |
| dpnoid | Zak, afaik, yes (although I don't use skype myself, I play movies and mp3's and quake sound all at the same time all the time) | 00:16 |
| dpnoid | STSX, wpa | 00:16 |
| Zak | dpnoid, Thanks for the help. I'll try 8.10 in a moment. | 00:16 |
| dpnoid | Zak, if skype gives you trouble, google for 'skype pulseaudio', and that should get you going | 00:17 |

| clintchance | anyone know why ide get a permision denied using sudo? | 00:17 |
| Fritzel | zSoilworker, would I be best off removing the downloaded package and installing nspluginwrapper by repo? | 00:17 |
| dpnoid | clintchance, played with your sudoers file recently? | 00:17 |
| clintchance | no | 00:17 |
| STSX | dpnoid: OK, so you tried the "WPA-Personal" option in the network-admin program and it's not letting you connect? What errors do you get? Also try looking at the error log files using "dmesg" | 00:17 |
| clintchance | i havent even touches the file system | 00:17 |
| pepo | somebody using flash + firefox ibook g4? | 00:18 |
| dpnoid | STSX, yep. tail -f /var/log/syslog seems to show normal looking stuff, dhcpd starts up, and then fails to acquire an address | 00:19 |
| dpnoid | STSX, (noting again that it works just fine on the n800, dhcp and all) | 00:20 |

| zSoilworker | Fritzel: if you find issues with it, its the same | 00:21 |
| mneptok | clintchance: because your root privileges do not extend to the second part of that command | 00:21 |

| zSoilworker | Fritzel: but i advise you to follow me up from the top | 00:21 |

| tmapj | ill try that | 00:23 |
| clintchance | Same thing | 00:23 |

| dpnoid | clintchance, echo foo | sudo tee -a /file/name | 00:23 |

| emma | quentusrex, type this in terminal: ps aux | grep evolution | 00:24 |

| Fritzel | zSoilworker, one moment | 00:25 |
| emma | quentusrex, do you want to close it so that you can start it again, is that your aim? | 00:25 |
| STSX | dpnoid: click "wireless connection", then "properties" and then under connection settings select "static address" instead of DHCP. | 00:25 |
| dpnoid | STSX, if I set a static address via ifconfig while network manager was trying to connect, it would work as long as the ping I started was running | 00:25 |
| dpnoid | STSX, as soon as I ctrl+c'd the ping, the connection would disconnect | 00:25 |
| quentusrex | I have closed it, and opened it again, and closed it. I'm asking why is there a new bug that won't let me 'see' evolution. | 00:26 |
| quentusrex | The process is running, but the window isn't open... | 00:26 |
| ibleed | with a single internet connection and one router, is it possible to be connected both through wireless and ethernet for redundancy? (at same time) | 00:26 |

| STSX | dpnoid: OK, you sure you also entered the correct gateway? Probably 192.168.1.1 depending on your LAN setup? | 00:27 |

| Vlet | harris: did you install the server distribution? | 00:32 |

| clintchance | ndswraper does it need anything special? | 01:06 |
| Fath[0]m | Yea the guide had just said that Vim was the most powerful and you should learn it for the long run | 01:06 |
| ubuntu | dude, I heard 8.10 can't boot if you install grub on ext3.. is that true ? | 01:06 |
| * Fritzel puts a pizza in the oven and times it by how long it takes to reinstall Ubuntu | 01:06 | |
| astro76 | Fath[0]m: I definitely agree you should learn it ;) | 01:06 |

| compy | how do i enable to connect to my linux box through ssh? | 01:06 |
| dpnoid | Fath[0]m, vim is definately good to learn, but not while you're also learning something else | 01:06 |
| dpnoid | Fath[0]m, just use gedit | 01:06 |
| compy | or is ssh my best option? | 01:06 |
| astro76 | Fath[0]m: but you could also use gedit, the default gui text editor | 01:06 |

| * Pelo is a geek , but he doesn'T get the joke | 01:14 | |

| outerspace_ | zSoilworker there is empty file | 01:14 |
| zSoilworker | outerspace_: doublecheck | 01:14 |
| Pelo | McRib, sudo apt-get install mplayer-mozilla , or mozilla-mplayer, I can never remember | 01:14 |
| xri | McRib: why manually install when there is a package for it? | 01:15 |
| bazhang | xikarrousx, what chipset? broadcom or other | 01:15 |
| Pelo | McRib, you'll probably need to remove totem-mozilla , or mozilla-totem , same reason | 01:15 |
| zSoilworker | jaja | 01:15 |
| McRib | Pelo: That's not manual | 01:15 |
| McRib | The reason I need to install it manually is because the Hardy package depends on FF3... I don't and won't use Firefox 3 and the plugin works fine in Firefox 2. | 01:16 |
| Pelo | McRib, what do you manual then ? compile from source ? | 01:16 |
| [1]Popcorned | I need some help on accessing Ubuntu server from Vista where Ubuntu is in Virtualbox | 01:16 |
| * dpnoid can't understand why anyone would willing use ff2 over ff3 | 01:16 | |
| Pelo | McRib, packages.ubuntu.com , you can dl the gutsy package | 01:16 |
| bazhang | McRib, best to get swiftfox or weasel (forgot the name) as that works well together with ff3 and ff2 plugins | 01:17 |
| zSoilworker | i cant understand why anyone uses firefox | 01:17 |
| ubuntu | dpnoid, ff3 is beta still | 01:17 |
| Waffle | I am trying to install Java 6.6 JDK on Gutsy and I get the error message "/bin/sh is needed by sun-javadb-core-10.3.1-4.1.i386"... full error at http://paste.ubuntu.com/12163/ | 01:17 |
| McRib | Pelo: Ah... I'll look at that. | 01:17 |

| wsuThomas | does 8.04 support dual monters | 01:17 |
| dpnoid | ubuntu, and also is standard in 8.04 | 01:17 |
| bazhang | wsuThomas, yes | 01:17 |
| Pelo | wsuThomas, of course | 01:17 |
| McRib | bazhang: We've already had that talk... and it's not an issue of plugins working or not with FF3. | 01:17 |
| dpnoid | ubuntu, to say nothing of the sane memory usage | 01:17 |

| wsuThomas | where are the setting for dual monitors | 01:18 |
| bazhang | McRib, not that I saw; good luck with that | 01:18 |
| Nith | Waffle: why are you installing from an rpm instead of from the repos? | 01:18 |
| ubuntu | dpnoid, I personally think that releasing firefox 3 beta instead of firefox 2, and releasing a mid-lifecycle update to firefox 3 if it goes stable is a very foolish decision. | 01:18 |
| wsuThomas | thanks ubottu | 01:18 |
| Waffle | Nith, in the repos for Gutsy it only has 6.3, I was trying to get the latest | 01:18 |

| dpnoid | clintchance, well, I probably can't help you then :p | 01:43 |
| linuxiscool277 | how do you set an away message in Xchat? | 01:43 |
| dpnoid | clintchance, you might have better luck if you either reinstall -> 8.04, or upgrade to 7.10 and then to 8.04 | 01:43 |
| Starnestommy | linuxiscool277: /away | 01:43 |
| clintchance | can i upgrade from here or do i got to download a live cd | 01:43 |

| Starnestommy | linuxiscool277: yes | 01:44 |
| linuxiscool277 | nvr mnd | 01:44 |
| dpnoid | clintchance, if you don't mind reinstalling, then just download the 8.04 livecd and install from that; otherwise, the upgrade-manager should be able to handle upgrading you to 7.10, and then to 8.04 after that | 01:44 |
| clintchance | il use the upgrade manager | 01:45 |

| ubottu | You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.

| sudobash | what kind of router | 02:02 |
| Ahadiel | reya276, My guess is someone is port scanning and trying to bruteforce your SSH. | 02:02 |
| reya276 | and I used the network tools to get the location | 02:02 |
| sudobash | reya try to scan your network with nmap | 02:02 |
| Wannabe | reya276, that could be anything, but i don't think they could really do damage on connecting like that | 02:02 |

| Pic1 | anyone know, how to install mozilla-plugin-vlc for firefox-2, because this plugin only works for me in firefox 3 | 02:09 |
| sudobash | actually if an exploit was successful or the attacker was using root you would see root logged in when you typew | 02:09 |
| sudobash | who | 02:09 |
| tj83 | any known issues with core2 duo speedstepping with 8.04? | 02:09 |
| dpnoid | linuxiscool277, hit escape when grub comes up, and remove splash and quiet from the line, the output will give you a better idea what's going on | 02:09 |
| Pic1 | but firefox-3 crashes very often | 02:09 |
| reya276 | linuxiscool277: reason why is because I keep my router on another local IP | 02:10 |
| dpnoid | mixed, as long as you don't go adding arbitary repositories by hand, every update is legit | 02:10 |

| urlwolf | anyone running emacs-snapshot? | 02:11 |
| linuxiscool277 | you mean the comcast modem | 02:11 |
| dpnoid | jerbear, reading the prompts is a good idea before clicking on things; is it saying that you have an unrecognized host key, or what? | 02:11 |
| mixed | dpnoid, that's the problem, for some software you have to add some repos and then I get a message about making sure the sources are trusted, how do know know if they're trusted or not? | 02:11 |
| DefineKThyne | i'm having trouble mounting a partition in Hardy that i could mount in Gutsy. it said something about the mount point, any ideas? | 02:11 |

| dpnoid | mixed, they're trusted if you trust them (really, that's all it means) | 02:11 |
| reya276 | sudobash: don't know that is what I'm trying to find out | 02:11 |
| Wannabe | Starnestommy, i did that, and no luck | 02:11 |
| sudobash | it has a status page and thats it | 02:11 |
| linuxiscool277 | try 192.168.0.1 | 02:11 |
| jerbear | dpnoid: no, i fixed that problem. it will let me login, just not using my public key | 02:11 |
| sudobash | it probably doesnt have a config if it is comcast | 02:12 |
| sudobash | or act like a router either | 02:12 |

| mixed | dpnoid, it's too late! it's addictive anyway | 02:13 |
| Starnestommy | Wannabe: did you specify the right screenname and password? | 02:13 |
| sudobash | porpoise make sure your jumpers are set right | 02:13 |
| sudobash | that will cause that every time | 02:13 |
| dpnoid | jerbear, there was a fairly serious bug in the code debian's ssh used to generate keys, such that any key matching a blacklist needs to be replaced | 02:13 |
| Wannabe | Starnestommy, i belive so | 02:13 |
| sudobash | unlplus drives your not working with also | 02:13 |
| sudobash | and retry | 02:13 |
| sudobash | unplug* | 02:13 |
| porpoise | sudobash: i don't think that's it - i've used gparted successfully. But this time I got bored and tried to listen to some mp3's and probably something in the multiverse drivers buggered it up | 02:13 |
| Starnestommy | Wannabe: are you using the part of your JID before the @ sign as the screenname? | 02:13 |
| jerbear | dpnoid: ok.. any suggestions? | 02:13 |
| porpoise | but now that it has happened, i'm wondering what i should do to minimize the damage | 02:14 |
| sudobash | yeah gparted needs to have full cpu attention | 02:14 |
| sudobash | dont try to multitask with it | 02:14 |
| porpoise | -_-; | 02:14 |
| sudobash | well was there data lost? | 02:14 |
| Wannabe | Starnestommy, Screenname: wannabe Domain: jabber.org Resource: Home | 02:14 |
| kelvin911 | running gparted with other program is a nice idea to screw up the file system | 02:14 |
| dpnoid | jerbear, regenerate any public keys, clear out any authorized_keys files, and re-add the new keys | 02:14 |
| sudobash | yeap | 02:15 |
| MattJ | Wannabe: Did you register the account just now? | 02:15 |
| porpoise | sudobash: i don't know. I can mount it and access most of my files, but gparted considers the partition unreadable | 02:15 |
| sudobash | gparted is a small linux meant for one thing only | 02:15 |

| MattJ | Wannabe: That is on the website, it says on the registration page that it is not for the IM service | 02:15 |

| * Pelo 's fans are going nuts, they have a max speed of 2500 rpm and they are now apparently running at 2934 rpm , this is ridiculous | 03:01 | |

| phiqtion | how can i encode videos like in Nero Vision in linux? | 03:04 |
| kelvin911 | Pelo: i just think using F as temp is stupid | 03:04 |
| drivetrax | right airstrike | 03:04 |

| drivetrax | Deags, airstrike - codecs are similar | 03:05 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: money makes sense because of different country | 03:05 |
| airstrike | phiqtion, there is a very powerful tool called 'transcode'. takes a little bit of getting used to, but it can transcode any formats back and forth | 03:05 |
| airstrike | phiqtion, you can get it with: sudo apt-get install transcode | 03:05 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: but watching american news, 97 degrees? | 03:05 |
| kelvin911 | i dont know how hot that is? | 03:05 |

| Pelo | kelvin911, roughtly 37°C , | 03:06 |
| Deags | i know this is prolly been dun i just wish someone would tell me how | 03:06 |
| kelvin911 | Pelo: what about 60? | 03:06 |
| ringer | kelvin911: lol i know forgot my /joke | 03:06 |

| kelvin911 | Pelo: dont even know i just bother find out | 03:06 |

| Pelo | kelvin911, I'm not that good, 96 is body temp in F , | 03:06 |
| airstrike | phiqtion, oh, try one of the disc burning apps.. i wouldn't know which one to recommend though | 03:06 |
| airstrike | drivetrax, yeah, but then again codecs can be a pain in windows too | 03:06 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: no 100F is 37C | 03:06 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: thats all i knoe | 03:06 |

| drivetrax | Deags, - well.. I got Mplayer, I got all the gstreamer packages, and I went and loaded an AVI file.. it played a while, then dropped out. As for Non-Linear editors, Kino , for me, is too complicated to make/compile/install, or whatever.. so I go looking for all the editors.. mencoder, ffmpeg, etc.. even odd ball ones, and get back to cinellera.. whatever that is.. | 03:08 |
| ringer | kelvin911: well it shows up. but there is no trash inside, when really there are 11 items | 03:08 |
| psyco | tonyyarusso: sec pastebin | 03:08 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: becasue stupid hardy changes everything | 03:08 |
| CTho | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ubuntu_8.04.png that's butt-ugly | 03:08 |
| CTho | no icons anywhere? even in the panel at the top? | 03:08 |
| ringer | kelvin911: but i can click it and 'wallah' there are my 11 items | 03:08 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: the light weight trash applet works but the icon wont change to full | 03:09 |
| tonyyarusso | CTho: that's just the background image.. | 03:09 |
| CTho | is that uploaded by microsoft as a smear campaign, or does someone think their customized setup actually looks nice? | 03:09 |
| psyco | tonyyarusso: ./configure got me to here: http://pastebin.com/m21ecfbff | 03:09 |
| CTho | tonyyarusso: the background is fine. i'm complaining about the panel | 03:09 |
| CTho | tonyyarusso: where's the canonical / ubuntu icon that should be next to applications? | 03:09 |
| ringer | kelvin911: so it always stays empty no matter what? | 03:09 |
| tonyyarusso | CTho: there are icons. | 03:09 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: because hardy changes the trash from .Trash to somewhere else | 03:09 |
| CTho | why does it say "tux" in the top? | 03:09 |
| tonyyarusso | CTho: don't know where that image is from. | 03:10 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: yes always empty i mean the icon | 03:10 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: its kinda suck | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | CTho: I think the "tux" part is the fast user switcher applet. | 03:10 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: so i add the trash in gnome panel anyway | 03:10 |
| CTho | tonyyarusso: i think someone should replace that screenshot with one that actually looks friendly | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | CTho: so do it | 03:10 |
| CTho | i'm still on 7.10 | 03:10 |
| CTho | and my desktop is a mess | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | psyco: check the readme | 03:10 |

| kelvin911 | why do u need so many? | 03:12 |

| tonyyarusso | kelvin911: saves time digging if I can just put them around the perimeter. | 03:12 |
| psyco | tonyyarusso: README had nothing of use | 03:12 |
| jepler | CTho: If I had to speculate, I'd guess that the ubuntu and firefox icons have been removed from that screenshot because they are trademarks and the goal was to have a clearly unencumbered image. | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Hammer89: Not likely. If it is, you'll need to use Xgl and fglrx rather than free drivers and aiglx, but even then don't count on it. | 03:13 |
| dmsuperman | Does anybody know why "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" might _fail_? | 03:13 |
| tonyyarusso | psyco: :( oh well | 03:13 |

| CTho | jepler: i see. that didn't cause the Windows screenshots to look ugly though ;) | 03:13 |

| etheredge | emma, how can i disable it? | 03:23 |
| Frogzoo | etheredge: is your router doing nat? there is a firewall, but it's all open | 03:23 |
| kevin_openworld | What i do on ubuntu will stay on ubutnu. right and none of my sites or email or program will show back up in window when i boot to it | 03:23 |

| sigmabetatooth | would anyone like to help me with an svideo issue | 03:23 |
| Frogzoo | etheredge: do you have a router? | 03:23 |
| ninina | I just installed 8.04 for the second time( the first time X locked up when using the compiz cube and the system corrupted so I guess no pretties for me ) but I was wondering what are some of the must have programs to help me get started.

| jerbear | ssh-vulnkey is showing that my client key is compromised... regenerating it does not change this... what do i do? | 03:23 |
| etheredge | Frogzoo, yes i do dlink | 03:24 |
| emma | etheredge, I'm not too familiar with the default firewall. You might try installing firestarter and using that to adjust your settings. Firestarter is a GUI for iptables. | 03:24 |
| etheredge | Frogzoo, are ya sayin its in the router? | 03:24 |
| drivetrax | kevin_openworld, your windows OS does not see ext partitions, if you dual boot .. each is it's own OS | 03:24 |
| Frogzoo | etheredge: you need to forward the bit torrent ports to the pc | 03:24 |
| kevin_openworld | good to know | 03:24 |
| AlsMe | hey.. I'm trying to get x11vnc working over to a xp box .. however, for some reason I keep getting "connection closed" any ideas | 03:24 |

| linux_guy | can you give me the command for updating the kernel and where do i get an older version of the gnome or kde desktop | 03:25 |
| emma | What is your default media player? | 03:25 |
| jerbear | jrib: yes | 03:25 |
| emma | arbir, you mean that you want to change the media player that a certain file is opened with? | 03:26 |
| kevin_openworld | This is a little nice os | 03:26 |
| drivetrax | kevin_openworld, - and with vista..possibly XPsp2, run linux under windows | 03:26 |
| jrib | jerbear: pastebin what you are seeing | 03:26 |
| arbir | emma: i installed Rhythmbox, bit never showed up in my start menu | 03:26 |

| AlsMe | anyoneee? | 03:26 |
| arbir | emma: mh option to set a media player is gyered out | 03:26 |
| emma | arbir, RythmBox should already be in your applications menu. | 03:26 |
| AlsMe | hey.. I'm trying to get x11vnc working over to a xp box .. however, for some reason I keep getting "connection closed" any ideas | 03:26 |

| sigmabetatooth | does ubuntu not support s-video | 03:27 |
| arbir | emma: no... i am teling you.. i took out rhythmbox and then re-installed and then it was gone | 03:27 |
| drivetrax | yep | 03:27 |
| emma | arbir, go to Applications --> Sound&Video | 03:27 |

| arbir | emma: the music player dropdown is greyed out for me.. i cannot choose any application | 03:30 |
| linux_guy | give me the link where i can find howto for usb install | 03:30 |
| drivetrax | certain installs on usb.. after a while, may hang.. usually larger drives | 03:30 |
| arbir | emma: now tell me how to fix this :-) | 03:30 |
| drivetrax | without drivers | 03:30 |
| emma | arbir, did you install RhythmBox with apt-get ? | 03:31 |
| arbir | emma: yeah :-) | 03:31 |
| drivetrax | montes be sure there is no screensaver set to on, then disable the hibernation, and check never hibernate | 03:31 |
| emma | did you try the Add Remove thing/ | 03:31 |
| linux_guy | give me the link where i can find howto for usb install | 03:31 |

| emma | arbir, maybe try doing it by finding the file type you want RhythmBox to open, right click on it, and set the "Open With" to RhythmBox. This can be done custom by looking in the /user/bin/ for the executable | 03:37 |
| ldiamond | Danish, its all KDE instead of Gnome | 03:37 |

| yeto | Philh, maybe I can help you... | 03:56 |
| hisingh1_ | yes, my prob is that i can get the headphones to work but the internal speakers wont turn off | 03:57 |
| SuperLag | amenado: I will have crontab run bash scripts, at regular intervals, that run the SQL queries and spool the data to CSV | 03:57 |
| Tline | Java in firefox-2 on Hardy - Anybody do it? | 03:57 |
| === Winchester is now known as de3de | ||
| Philh | yeto, cool, for some reason when i mount the partition it's only writable by root | 03:57 |
| jtaylor13 | amenado: can i get it tru add/remove software? | 03:57 |
| Rotund | Is there a decent QT 4 theme chooser for those of us w/o KDE installed? | 03:57 |
| hisingh1_ | Philh try gksudo nautils | 03:57 |
| amenado | SuperLag-> umm, again how much pretty-ness of a graph you need to look at, certainly several tools are out there to do graphing | 03:57 |
| alien984 | try downloading java from sun systems | 03:58 |
| amenado | !info rsync | 03:58 |
| hisingh1_ | yes, my prob is that i can get the headphones to work but the internal speakers wont turn off | 03:58 |
| ubottu | rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 2.6.9-6ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 256 kB, installed size 512 kB | 03:58 |
| yeto | philh.. have you tried booting the live cd and reformatting the big partition with ext3 and then putting just "/" in mount? | 03:58 |
| Philh | hisingh1_, that doesn't solve the problem, just gives me a gui file manager interface with root privs, frowned upon | 03:58 |
| Alumin | is there any way to install Java 1.4 in Gutsy, alongside the package version? | 03:58 |
| Philh | yeto, this isn't a system disc, just a backup drive | 03:59 |
| === Winchester is now known as de3de | ||
| === phenom_ is now known as phenom|zZz | ||
| Alumin | we have an old-as-dirt remote Java KVM that only works with 1.4 | 03:59 |
| amenado | Philh-> try the manual on mounting, man mount if possible, or google for more detailed explanations | 03:59 |
| hisingh1_ | pcm is taking both headphones and internal speakers | 03:59 |
| Philh | amenado, been there, done that, that's why i came here | 03:59 |
| hisingh1_ | my prob is that i can get the headphones to work but the internal speakers wont turn off | 04:00 |
| hisingh1_ | pcm is taking both headphones and internal speakers | 04:00 |
| Fritzel | I was talking with someone in the winehq channel about 20 minutes ago and they seem to have gone afk, could anyone who has more knowledge about the way sound works in ubuntu (which is everyone) look at this http://pastebin.com/d1976b3de and tell me if I am missing anything on lines 19 and 20 that would keep sound from working correctly if the device is showing up correctly in my wine application? | 04:00 |
| Philh | amenado, though admittedly i'm probably missing something obvious | 04:00 |
| SuperLag | amenado: enough that it's readable | 04:00 |
| amenado | Alumin-> why not? as long as you dont have them both on same CLASSPATH and PATH..ie set a different environment for your specific KVM | 04:00 |
| etheredge | alright.... im about to give up on wow... | 04:00 |
| drivetrax | hisingh1_, open mixer, check pc speakers to off | 04:00 |
| etheredge | it works for everyone else why not me!!! heh | 04:00 |
| alien984 | one last time does anyone know how to install xlink on ubuntu | 04:00 |
| Philh | alien984, xlink? | 04:01 |
| amenado | Philh-> if you have been there and done that, then I assume you have understood the concept of mount and fstab? | 04:01 |
| alien984 | its a xbox tunnel program | 04:01 |
| Philh | amenado, for the most part | 04:01 |
| hisingh1_ | doesnt solve the problem | 04:01 |
| alien984 | lets people play together through the internet | 04:01 |
| hisingh1_ | pc speakers are not used at al | 04:02 |
| n1lqj-1 | hello everyone | 04:02 |
| amenado | Philh-> narrow it down to the options user and users for the command mount | 04:02 |
| drivetrax | hisingh1_, is it Alsa? | 04:02 |
| hisingh1_ | yes | 04:02 |
| drivetrax | hmm | 04:02 |
| Philh | amenado, adding rw,user doesn't help | 04:02 |
| yeto | tuxonice anyone??? I want to give it a try to see if I hibernate my laptop \ | 04:02 |
| drivetrax | hisingh1_, input is set to source? | 04:02 |
| amenado | Philh-> there is a difference between user and users...read the man pages again please | 04:03 |
| monestri_ | so is there a fix for the hibernation/suspend problem on laptops? | 04:03 |
| jtaylor13 | grow do i run this file? rsync-3.0.3pre1.tar.gz | 04:03 |
| monestri_ | not to mention in hardy I can't idle without having display problems | 04:03 |
| hisingh1_ | input source in set to front mic | 04:04 |
| amenado | SuperLag-> i'd say take your favorite graphing app write a script and feed it with your csv | 04:04 |
| alien984 | if you go to teamxlink.co.uk you will find out all about it | 04:04 |
| yeto | monestri.. there are a couple of applications that could help on that... one is swsusp and the other one is tuxonice.. | 04:04 |
| jtaylor13 | group: how do i install this? rsync-3.0.3pre1.tar.gz | 04:04 |
| hisingh1_ | the headphone switch doesnt work | 04:04 |
| SuperLag | amenado: I was told MRTG would do it, but I don't think that's what it's for | 04:04 |
| yeto | I have not been able to configure swsusp so I want to try to install tux on ice.. | 04:04 |
| amenado | !info rsync | jtaylor | 04:04 |

| alien984 | easy to intall for windows , very confusing for linux users | 04:04 |
| yeto | there are packages and tar files but I dont know how to install those :( | 04:05 |
| hisingh1_ | extract tar | 04:05 |
| Fritzel | is there a channel for pulse audio? | 04:05 |
| yeto | thats it... I suck at CLI | 04:05 |
| hisingh1_ | this is to alien984 | 04:05 |
| hisingh1_ | unpack tar | 04:06 |
| yeto | I need icons and buttons and progress bars and CONGRATULATIONS NOOB! YOU HAVE INSTALLED YOU APP! lol... | 04:06 |
| hisingh1_ | thed cd to directory containg folder | 04:06 |
| jtaylor13 | amenado: i downloaded the file not sure how to install. | 04:06 |
| amenado | SuperLag-> well the MRTG is normally used to graph packets, but its not like you are doing 3-D graphing, just sort of snapshot right? so go ahead and use it | 04:06 |
| hisingh1_ | now type './configure; sudo make; sudo make install | 04:06 |
| alien984 | me unpack tar? | 04:06 |
| amenado | jtaylor13-> its available from synaptic.. | 04:06 |
| tenX | hi guys | 04:07 |
| hisingh1_ | ya | 04:07 |
| amenado | jtaylor13-> you dont need to compile one.. | 04:07 |
| yeto | /msg ubottu etiquette | 04:07 |
| yeto | lol | 04:07 |
| yeto | /msg ubottu etiquette | 04:07 |
| alien984 | what is tar and how do i unpack it | 04:07 |
| jtaylor13 | amenado: i could not find. | 04:07 |
| drivetrax | hisingh1_, in Alsa mixer -- did you edit, drop down and select a different sound source? | 04:07 |
| hisingh1_ | use ark, or any archiving pacage tool | 04:07 |
| amenado | jtaylor13-> read this again | 04:07 |

| Philh | amenado, think i've solved it, it was related to permissions for the root directory of the partition, nothing to do with mount options afaict | 04:08 |
| hisingh1_ | yea it didnt work | 04:08 |
| hisingh1_ | i mean i did, but problem was not fixed | 04:08 |
| drivetrax | thinking record | 04:08 |
| hisingh1_ | ? | 04:08 |
| drivetrax | well, if not a switch, then a record | 04:08 |
| amenado | Philh-> you would learn later on, it is dependent on who is doing the mounting.. | 04:08 |
| drivetrax | so I looked at record | 04:08 |
| hisingh1_ | in recording tab there is capture n digital | 04:08 |
| ToddEDM | can someone tell me how i can open smb.conf as root | 04:08 |
| hisingh1_ | both are unmuted | 04:08 |
| ToddEDM | so i can edit it | 04:09 |
| snewp | anyone have an idea aabout the error: no-user in oidentd? | 04:09 |
| amenado | ToddEDM-> you have used text editors like nano, gkedit, vim ? those pretty standard tools | 04:09 |
| tenX | the reason i show up here is for one dazzeling issue: the latest openssl weakness on debianish distros. i use those systems a lot an trusted in their reliability but since that incident i am really confused why package maintainers fool around in foreign projects code in such a deep way and wonder if there are more "specific changes" like that :( | 04:09 |
| ToddEDM | amenado: but how can i open it as root | 04:09 |
| amenado | ToddEDM-> off course you have to sudo the command | 04:10 |
| jtaylor13 | amenado:it says i have it installed.how can i find it? | 04:10 |
| monestri_ | anyone having problems with ffmpeg in hardy? | 04:10 |
| drivetrax | hisingh1_, in Alsa mixer select edit (top) menu.. a drop down appears -- there are settings there. Also under (file) the drop-down has 'devices' if you change device, another window opens | 04:10 |
| amenado | jtaylor13-> whereis rsync, or which rsync | 04:10 |
| alien984 | can one of you smart people help out us not so smart end users and do a youtube tutorial on how to install xlink on ubuntu | 04:10 |
| CaptainMorgan | what is Ubuntu's equivalent for chkconfig ? | 04:10 |
| ToddEDM | amenado: any way without the terminal? | 04:11 |
| sls | how do I fix an mpeg file index? | 04:11 |
| amenado | alien984-> am not smart, i cant assist you, besides i dont have audio nor the tools to create a video :) | 04:11 |
| amenado | ToddEDM-> dont be afraid of the command line, make it as your friend just like google is.. :P | 04:12 |
| hisingh1_ | i have the devices, i have tried on all, to no avail | 04:12 |
| ToddEDM | well thanks hisingh1_ | 04:12 |
| slyboots | Hi | 04:12 |
| amenado | ToddEDM-> perhaps you start with gksudo gkedit ....you see i dont use gui much, so i cant say that command will work | 04:12 |
| hisingh1_ | po prob toddedm | 04:12 |
| hisingh1_ | no | 04:13 |
| slyboots | Anyone any feedback on why Kismet does not seem to work on a Macbook pro in ubuntu? It uses a athos card so apparently it *should* work | 04:13 |
| jtaylor13 | amenado:it says rsync 2.6.9-6ubuntu2..can i upgrade or need to remove,how do i find were it is. | 04:13 |
| alien984 | the command line scares me | 04:13 |
| amenado | jtaylor13-> why do you need to find where it is? are you writing a script? i gave you hints, whereis rsync ..finds it? | 04:13 |
| amenado | alien984-> do not be scare of it, its like a girl, you have to learn how to tame one..<wink> | 04:14 |

| alien984 | lol | 04:16 |
| tj83 | ? | 04:17 |
| amenado | jtaylor okay, another tool to help you is the manuals or man pages its called in linux.. so you can man rsync to get some explanations, if you have a hard time understanding it, you have to use google to find a friendlier explanations | 04:17 |
| amenado | jtaylor13 ^^^ | 04:18 |

| AlsMe | how do I vnc into ubuntu? | 04:20 |
| plexq | printer driver files for cups | 04:20 |
| amenado | Philh-> what do you exactly mean by filesystem's root directory? or are you referring to the mount point ownership? | 04:20 |
| tj83 | Philh... your the first person in the room to say ANYTHING to me all day. thanx | 04:20 |
| Addaone | hey everyone, i'm encountering a frustrating bug trying to run the livecd of hardy | 04:20 |
| Philh | amenado, i mean the top level directory in the filesystem being mounted | 04:20 |
| hisingh1_ | addaone what is it | 04:20 |
| amenado | plexq somewhere around /usr/share/ppd | 04:20 |
| Philh | tj83, heh, it can be very hit and miss around here | 04:21 |
| Addaone | it turns out no matter what i do after about 5 minutes of running the livecd, the entire system freezes dead in its tracks | 04:21 |
| libervisco | hard on is buggy | 04:21 |
| doncarton | hi | 04:21 |
| doncarton | all | 04:21 |
| Addaone | i'm running the md4 version | 04:21 |
| sls | kevin911, well I wnat to convert it from mpeg to mp4 and the mp4ize is not able to because it headers are broken in the mpeg file | 04:21 |
| Addaone | *amd64 | 04:21 |
| alien984 | when i type su then enter, it goes,password:,but when i try to enter my pass word the blinking line doesnt type anything | 04:21 |
| jrib | !root | alien984 | 04:21 |
| ubottu | alien984: 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 | 04:21 |
| doncarton | the firefox 3 crash with message Segmentation fault .. | 04:21 |
| alien984 | anyone? | 04:21 |
| doncarton | very often | 04:21 |
| monestri_ | well root password is easy to get | 04:21 |
| Addaone | the mouse doesn't work, the keyboard doesn't work, the clock stops | 04:21 |
| sls | kevin911, Anyway, google comes up with some programs fro windows but I use Linux.. | 04:21 |
| monestri_ | just login via single user mode | 04:21 |
| jrib | alien984: and even though you won't see anything being typed when you use sudo, it still is being typed. Read the link from ubottu | 04:21 |
| hisingh1_ | may be cd, try downloading again? | 04:21 |
| monestri_ | and use passwd | 04:21 |
| rainwalker | what is GART memory? | 04:21 |
| jrib | !noroot | monestri_ | 04:21 |

| kelvin911 | sls wine | 04:22 |
| slyboots | alien984, Thats because its to stop anyone looking over your shoulder when you type it in. | 04:22 |
| alien984 | ooh yes , how can i do that | 04:22 |
| kelvin911 | sls: try wine | 04:22 |
| Addaone | hisingh1_: cd check came out ok | 04:22 |
| monestri_ | well, they can do it at their own risk | 04:22 |
| === doncarton is now known as Pic3 | ||
| co_savirus | riskha | 04:22 |
| Addaone | but i can try redownloading | 04:22 |
| amenado | Philh-> if the FS you are mounting is not owned by the user, the user usually cannot mount it, therefore root has to mount it for the user | 04:22 |
| tj83 | Philh... i used to be a regular over in irc.debian.net #debian... and there are alot less folks int here but much more attentive..... left debian distro for Ubuntu... havent gotten help in this room not once. | 04:22 |
| jrib | monestri_: of course | 04:22 |
| monestri_ | sudo wis easy enough to break ubuntu with anyway :D | 04:22 |
| hisingh1_ | cd check always says ok, i know cuz i have done it on a runed disc | 04:22 |
| alien984 | how can i get my root password | 04:22 |
| sls | kevin911, yeah -- I was hoping for a native client and not having to resort to windows programs again.. | 04:22 |
| hisingh1_ | the disk may have scratches | 04:22 |
| jrib | alien984: read the link ubottu gave you please, it explains everything to you | 04:23 |
| kelvin911 | tj83: try #linux | 04:23 |
| Addaone | ahh, interesting. maybe i can try downloading the alternate cd too | 04:23 |

| hisingh1_ | Addaone: i recomend, installing windows and the wubi | 04:25 |
| kelvin911 | tj83: i never pay a penny to ms | 04:25 |
| hisingh1_ | Addaone: Then get wubi | 04:26 |
| tj83 | that makes you worst of all kelvin... linux if free for a reason | 04:26 |
| kelvin911 | hisingh1_: is wubi that good? | 04:26 |
| hisingh1_ | basicly lets you do a nice install | 04:26 |
| tj83 | morally | 04:26 |
| kelvin911 | tj83: i also run private under ubuntu | 04:26 |
| hisingh1_ | yes, and no... depends on how hardcore of a linux user you are | 04:26 |
| Addaone | hisingh1: i considered that...is it safe or is there the underlying threat of my entire windows drive being hosed? | 04:26 |
| === kompi02 is now known as sandhi | ||
| tj83 | Room... i apologize for getting off-topic... | 04:27 |
| techno_freak | Addaone, it is very safe, you can install into a different partition within windows | 04:27 |
| hisingh1_ | Addaone: it is safe, try it on a small partition (maybe 4-8 gigs | 04:27 |
| kelvin911 | why u want to install ubuntu with wubi? | 04:28 |
| Addaone | ok, it's worth a shot, thanks | 04:28 |
| kelvin911 | just make some free space and install ubuntu | 04:28 |
| hisingh1_ | kelvin911: why not | 04:28 |
| hisingh1_ | kelvin911: why not | 04:28 |
| kelvin911 | hisingh1_: why yes? | 04:28 |
| d[X_X]b | anyone know a dopewars game in linux | 04:28 |
| techno_freak | kelvin911, most windows users are afraid to make a free space and install, and that's why wubi was born | 04:28 |
| kelvin911 | i guess if they are afraid then just run the liveCD | 04:29 |
| kelvin911 | or stay with windows | 04:29 |
| kelvin911 | messing with windows isnt good idea | 04:29 |
| co_savirus | skha | 04:29 |
| fiyawerkin | Does anyone else have issues copying folders via gvfs / ftp? | 04:30 |
| techno_freak | kelvin911, installing with wubi != messing with windows | 04:30 |
| hisingh1_ | kelvin911: cuz its safe (you can recover easily), latest version (hardy) intriped in alpha so ya, and best of all, you can do all that you need to do without screwing up ur whole computer | 04:30 |
| fiyawerkin | I can copy files fine, but if i try a folder, if fails with file unavailable | 04:30 |
| tj83 | whats with all the windows talk in here? maybe kelvin911 should heed his own advice on #windows | 04:30 |
| superdood | lol | 04:30 |
| techno_freak | heh | 04:30 |
| fiyawerkin | I've seen other users with the same issue as well | 04:30 |
| kelvin911 | tj83: we r talking wubi not windows | 04:30 |
| hisingh1_ | ohhh i smell windows hatred!! | 04:30 |
| kelvin911 | windows isnt that bad | 04:31 |
| superdood | depends which windows we're talking about | 04:31 |

| kelvin911 | windows NT | 04:31 |
| hisingh1_ | well, vista... not my definition of "wow" | 04:31 |
| tj83 | <--- actually agrees with kelvin911.... the software isnt that bad....... its the moral point behind it | 04:31 |
| techno_freak | tawd, does your ISP provide you with a DNS? | 04:31 |
| kelvin911 | tj83: who cares moral? | 04:31 |
| tawd | techno_freak, no | 04:32 |
| techno_freak | tawd, else use 4.2.2.2 | 04:32 |
| kelvin911 | tj83: as long as it works | 04:32 |
| hisingh1_ | Compiz fusion from git (i mean with freewins, atlantis 2 ... cube addons) that is WOW | 04:32 |
| tj83 | i like to think some of us do | 04:32 |
| tawd | techno_freak, thanks | 04:32 |
| taggartbg42 | so, i'm trying to shrink my windows partition, it has about 16GiB of unused space, and i'm trying to shrink 10 gigs off the right side in order to install ubuntu there...yet every time i try to shrink it i get an error: "ERROR: Extended record needed (1032 > 1024), not yet supported! | 04:32 |
| taggartbg42 | Please try to free less space." How would I go about fixing that, any ideas? | 04:32 |
| linuxiscool277 | hey i just got my internet working in hardy whats a way to get audio and video codecs installed | 04:32 |
| techno_freak | taggartbg42, did you defragment your partition? | 04:33 |
| kelvin911 | taggartbg42: partiton magic | 04:33 |
| d[X_X]b | http://cootwars.sourceforge.net/ | 04:33 |
| hisingh1_ | what software ru talking about...tj83 with all the incompatabilities with visat i dont know | 04:33 |
| Vratha | oh, excellent; i found the info in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | 04:33 |
| kelvin911 | taggartbg42: run cclean | 04:33 |
| hisingh1_ | + vist a= mem hog | 04:33 |
| kelvin911 | taggartbg42: defrag hd | 04:33 |
| kelvin911 | taggartbg42: then run partition magic | 04:33 |
| Vratha | now, what is the name of a good CLI burning program again? | 04:33 |
| techno_freak | Vratha, cdrecord | 04:33 |
| jester7 | if i install kubuntu-desktop, does it to ANYTHING to my gnome at all? | 04:33 |
| Vratha | techno_freak: ah, that's the one; thanks :-D | 04:33 |
| taggartbg42 | kelvin: ok, awesome, so what exactly is the defrag command in linux? | 04:33 |
| kelvin911 | vista sucks its ture | 04:34 |
| kelvin911 | true | 04:34 |
| tj83 | hisingh1... ya vista is still very buggy.... as was XP in its first days... i just dump microsoft completely | 04:34 |
| techno_freak | jester7, it might change the splash screen to kubuntu one | 04:34 |
| tritium | jester7: yes, it'll add a bunch of kde apps to your menus | 04:34 |
| === ari_stre1s is now known as ari_stress | ||
| hisingh1_ | there is no defrag command in linux | 04:34 |
| hisingh1_ | it is awsome that way | 04:34 |
| Sazpaimon | alright now, before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired | 04:34 |
| taggartbg42 | oh, so just pop into windows and defrag? | 04:34 |
| tritium | taggartbg42: no need to defrag | 04:34 |
| kelvin911 | hisingh1_: i think there is defrag in linux | 04:34 |
| Sazpaimon | that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1 | 04:34 |
| fiyawerkin | taggartbg42, there is no ext3 defrag | 04:34 |
| superdood | no need to defrag | 04:34 |
| kelvin911 | hisingh1_: but no one uses it | 04:34 |
| techno_freak | taggartbg42, use your Windows defragment tool | 04:34 |
| taggartbg42 | fiyawerkin: it's NTFS | 04:34 |
| jester7 | techno_freak: tritium: if i uninstall will it go back to normal? | 04:34 |
| hisingh1_ | i agree microsoft sucks if you dont have the hardware | 04:35 |
| Sazpaimon | everything was going fine | 04:35 |
| taggartbg42 | and what exactly is cclean? | 04:35 |
| tritium | jester7: it should, yes | 04:35 |
| techno_freak | jester7, you can change the splash screen to ubuntu back again | 04:35 |
| fiyawerkin | taggartbg42, ah sorry | 04:35 |
| Sazpaimon | but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" | 04:35 |
| phiqtion | does screenlets run under HARDY? | 04:35 |
| hisingh1_ | try running vista with 1 gig ram | 04:35 |
| Sazpaimon | in the middle of installing all the dkpks | 04:35 |
| chipbuddy | !ubuntu | 04:35 |

| techno_freak | jester7, its just a couple of commands job | 04:35 |
| ubottu | Factoid ide not found | 04:35 |
| errpast | anyone know a good widget to show me sys temp in Gnome? | 04:35 |
| fiyawerkin | ext4 includes defrag utility i believe | 04:35 |
| CaptainMorgan | what is Ubuntu's equivalent for chkconfig ? | 04:35 |
| tritium | Please remember that MS bashing is offtopic. | 04:35 |
| Vratha | anyone use anything other than hostapd to turn their Atheros-based system into an AP? | 04:35 |
| hisingh1_ | kelvin911: there is no need then | 04:35 |
| kelvin911 | someone shows me actually if u have more than 4 GB ram and with killer machine, vista runs faster then XP with same hardware | 04:35 |
| errpast | I'm sick of running of commanline script to grep it from proc | 04:35 |
| tj83 | taggartbg42..... sorry... xp or vista? vista can shrink a partition in computer management.... | 04:35 |
| Sazpaimon | fffffffffffff, i should probably wait for this chat to die down | 04:35 |
| jester7 | techno_freak: thanks. i just wanted to make sure it didn't go f'ing with my settings where i'd have to fight to get gnome going again | 04:35 |
| taggartbg42 | tj83: xp :-\ | 04:35 |
| errpast | And my stupid dell 5150 runs SO hot | 04:35 |
| ringer | kelvin911: how was the deuce? | 04:36 |
| fiyawerkin | anyone else have problems or even try to copy folders via ftp on the new gvfs? | 04:36 |
| monestri_ | vista fater than xp? | 04:36 |
| techno_freak | jester7, sure you won't what you have will remain untouched, you will just get extra things | 04:36 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: the deuce is hard solid | 04:36 |
| CaptainMorgan | !kernel | 04:36 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 04:36 |
| phiqtion | does screenlets run under HARDY? | 04:36 |
| fiyawerkin | phiqtion, yes | 04:36 |
| taggartbg42 | so, two questions really quickly, what exactly is cclean, and why is partition magic better than GParted? | 04:36 |
| hisingh1_ | kelvin911: To get 4 gig plus you need vista ultimate (the biggest mem hog of them all + the ammnt of harddrive space it takes) | 04:36 |
| kelvin911 | monestri_: yes if u have more than 4GB ram and newest hardware | 04:36 |
| tj83 | ya there is a way , unsure how in linux... but best to do as already said.. defrag in windows and then you can let Ubuntu install shrink it. | 04:36 |
| phiqtion | fiyawerkin: what package? | 04:37 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: i have 5150 too | 04:37 |
| ringer | kelvin911: lol good to hear. got a QQ for ya. in ff3 you know how when you start typing a url it comes up with suggestions, how do i stop that | 04:37 |
| walkman79 | Hi all | 04:37 |
| techno_freak | taggartbg42, partition magic is better than gparted? | 04:37 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: u need to clean the cpu fan like every 2 weeks | 04:37 |
| monestri_ | so can anyone tell me why ubuntu hangs after idling for 10+ minutes? | 04:37 |
| errpast | kelvin911, it makes me crazy. I have cleaned it up. | 04:37 |
| taggartbg42 | techno_freak: people were saying to use partition magic earlier | 04:37 |
| CaptainMorgan | thought that 2.6.24-17 was just released.. yea? I'm still using ..16 and I've got the sources enabled in Synaptic.. any ideas? | 04:37 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: i dont use ff | 04:37 |
| monestri_ | and if there's a solution for laptop hibernation/suspend problems. | 04:37 |
| fiyawerkin | phiqtion, i screenlets - Widget-like mini-applications for GNOME | 04:37 |
| techno_freak | taggartbg42, they are equally good, i have used both | 04:37 |
| ringer | kelvin911: opera? | 04:37 |
| phenom|zZz | gentoo or ubuntu, what ya'll think ? | 04:37 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: opera is the best browser | 04:37 |
| tj83 | the ubuntu install will shrink it for you "using gparted" | 04:37 |
| hisingh1_ | gparted = best partition editor | 04:37 |
| gummi | ubuntu imo | 04:38 |
| techno_freak | ringer, just ask it not to remember urls ie history=0 | 04:38 |
| errpast | kelvin911, it's really weird. Sometimes it runs cool Sometimes really hot. It doesn't correlate to obvious things. I've tried external fans, different fenting. right now, I have removed the keyboard and flashing, and use usb keyboard | 04:38 |
| taggartbg42 | ok, so, pop into XP, defrag, run this cclean (still not sure what that is) then GParted should be able to shrink the partition? | 04:38 |
| tritium | kelvin911: opinion | 04:38 |
| hisingh1_ | anyone reed A tale of 2 cities?? | 04:38 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: u just need to take out the keyboard and blow the dust out every month at least | 04:38 |
| walkman79 | I need help. Does anyone have experience running utorrent on ubuntu? | 04:38 |
| techno_freak | hisingh1_, am afraid you are going to get an offtopic warning :P | 04:38 |
| tenX | since the latest security issue regarding openssl i am really disappointed about debian/ubuntu package maintaining :( | 04:39 |
| errpast | kelvin911, I've got keyboard open. It's not too dusty. But I've never used forced air. I should do that. It really doesn't look too dirty | 04:39 |
| Sazpaimon | walkman79, apt-get install wine | 04:39 |
| hisingh1_ | ok | 04:39 |
| Killeroid | hi, can anyone tell me where ff3-beta 5 's plugins are stored in ubuntu? | 04:39 |
| GirlRiver | Can anyone help with a Firefox question ? I am running firefox 3 on Ubuntu. How do I force it to launch the Quicktime Player plugin instead of Totem ? | 04:39 |
| tj83 | taggartbg42.... all you have to do is defrag from xp put the unbuntu cd in load it and allow the install app to shrink it for you. | 04:39 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: try to uses something to make your desktop not contacting the table | 04:39 |
| CaptainMorgan | I have the ..17 installed via Synaptic.. but uname -a is returning .16... how do I change this? | 04:39 |
| techno_freak | tenX, it happens now and then when you are in a huge community | 04:39 |
| errpast | kelvin911, I think there is an issue with the heat sink and sink grease. Anyway, I've got a hp nc6400 on order. | 04:39 |
| tenX | hisingh1_: you already know that gparted boot disk? its awesome | 04:39 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: make more rooms at the bottom of the laptop that helps a lot | 04:39 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, you booted in with the 16 kernel? | 04:39 |
| tritium | CaptainMorgan: you have to reboot to use a new kernel | 04:39 |
| errpast | kelvin911, ya, I've got about a 2 inch clearance, WITH an external fan running. | 04:39 |
| taggartbg42 | tj83: awesome, thanks, i'm off | 04:40 |
| hisingh1_ | tenX: too true | 04:40 |
| ringer | kelvin911: watching videos is crap in opera for me | 04:40 |
| * emma *smiles* | 04:40 | |
| tenX | techno_freak: well i think its not that simple to explain. the maintainers got into areas of code they should never have messed with | 04:40 |
| tj83 | see ya. taggartbg42 | 04:40 |
| superdood | @walkman: I heard utorrent runs well under wine | 04:40 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: what video? | 04:40 |

| DjSerkan | :) | 04:40 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: try 9.5 beta | 04:40 |
| errpast | kelvin911, it's nice and cool now. go figure. With exact same setup a few hours ago, I was at 70C. Now it is 38C. Room temp is maybe 1 or 2 cooler | 04:40 |
| ringer | kelvin911 any on youtube | 04:40 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: 9.27 + linux + flash = crappy | 04:40 |
| errpast | kelvin911, anyway, I cna live with it. | 04:40 |
| CaptainMorgan | tritium, I've rebooted many times... they're both installed.. according to synaptic... techno_freak | 04:40 |
| errpast | kelvin911, do you run a widget that shows temp? | 04:40 |
| yotux | pidgin freezing | 04:41 |
| CaptainMorgan | maybe not.. I'll try it | 04:41 |
| monestri_ | Can anyone help with problems involving hibernation/suspend/idling for long periods of time. Symptoms include freezing/hanging, missing mouse pointers. Running 8.04 on a laptop 32bit. | 04:41 |
| dubby | hey anyone here have experience with openswan and webmin | 04:41 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, when you reboot does it show up in the boot menu list? | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: 9.5beta + newest flash on linux = good | 04:41 |
| _kavOOr_ | hi, can anyone like me to the tutorial that teaches how to boot the ubuntu iso from usb ? | 04:41 |
| Sazpaimon | jeez, does this channel ever have a moment of silence? | 04:41 |
| errpast | yotux, I've had Pidgin problems over the past 6 months. | 04:41 |
| tj83 | <---loves Gkrellm for temps | 04:41 |
| tritium | Sazpaimon: no | 04:41 |
| dubby | im trying to learn how to create a l2tp vpn | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: u mean on 5150? | 04:41 |
| Sazpaimon | I can tell | 04:41 |
| walkman79 | superdood, I have utorrent running but some of my torrents get this error : "too many files". I've read something about changing the limit with ulimit -n | 04:41 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, it didn't.. but I just checked my uptime and I may have forgotten to reboot.. brb | 04:41 |
| tenX | hisingh1_: how can distribution related changes mess with a libraries random number generator?? that is f* up | 04:41 |
| techno_freak | Sazpaimon, check back after some 4/5 hours from now :P | 04:41 |
| errpast | kelvin911, yes, I have Dell 5150 | 04:41 |
| dmsuperman | I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu, is there a good list somewhere that I could consult as far as standard things I want to install? So far I have Xchat, build-essential, and msttcorefonts, but I don't remember the package for things like mp3 playback, and the latest flash, and so on | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: i didnt install ubuntu on my 5150 | 04:41 |
| Marfi | anyone know how to use an older version of a driver? namely the nvidia driver | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: i run xp on it | 04:41 |
| Sazpaimon | I'll just give out my issue again now | 04:41 |
| errpast | kelvin911, oh. I see. | 04:41 |
| yotux | errpast -- using xubuntu and trying to figure out where the problem was | 04:41 |
| tritium | tenX: it didn't. It messed with the *seeding* of it | 04:41 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: and i install the temp control for 5150 | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | Marfi, download the driver, and install it | 04:42 |
| walkman79 | wow, I can't read anything | 04:42 |
| cjournell09_ | if i install ubuntu...will that mean that i get rid of my Windows OS for good...or is there some way that i can access it too? | 04:42 |
| linuxiscool277 | URGENT: in 8.04 how do i uninstall firefox | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | cjournell09, you could dual boot | 04:42 |
| tritium | cjournell09_: you can dual boot | 04:42 |
| errpast | yotux, sorry I can't offer anything but moral support there. I just bailed out of pidgin. | 04:42 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: i constantly moniter the temp of 5150, because if it gets too hot, the computer is slow | 04:42 |
| tj83 | sazpaimon... been asking on my issue for days... no takers yet | 04:42 |
| ringer | kelvin911 i am using 9.50 beta2 | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | !dualboot | cjournell09 | 04:42 |

| monestri_ | sudo apt-get remove firefox? | 04:42 |
| Marfi | linuxiscool277, sudo apt-get remove firefox | 04:42 |
| tenX | tritium: and _that_ is distro specific?? | 04:42 |
| yotux | errpast -- thanz | 04:42 |
| errpast | kelvin911, how hot is hot? I've seen it at 72C | 04:42 |
| Marfi | dmsuperman, tried. had to wipe the whole thing twice. =) | 04:42 |
| starcannon | linxiscool277 system=administration-synaptic package manager | 04:42 |
| tritium | tenX: yes, it was specific to debian scripts that affected the seeding | 04:42 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: 70 or above is hot | 04:42 |
| cjournell09_ | dmsuperman: how do you dual boot? | 04:43 |
| cjournell09_ | is that a good idea? | 04:43 |
| Sazpaimon | tj83, welcome to freenode! :P | 04:43 |
| techno_freak | tenX, ubuntu gets it from upstream debian and when debian had problem ubuntu might get it too | 04:43 |
| Marfi | cjournell09, if you want to keep windows, yes | 04:43 |
| Sazpaimon | anyway | 04:43 |
| Sazpaimon | before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired, that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1. everything was going fine, but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" in the middle of installing all the dkpks | 04:43 |
| tj83 | ya... i liked the old OFTC better | 04:43 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: computer starts to lag or slow down once u get over 70 | 04:43 |
| errpast | kelvin911, ya. the fan screams at that temp. I've no idea now why I'm down at 38 degrees. Same apps. Same room temp. Just weird | 04:43 |
| dmsuperman | cjournell09, read the above message by ubotu | 04:43 |
| drivetrax | Hey man.. I clicked a link to a panorama picture, and the Mozilla I use says install Quicktime.. Okay, I clicked through, and it took me to Apple for QuickTime 7 | 04:43 |
| tenX | tritium: in that case adjusting the scripts instead of fooling around somewhere you shouldnt should be the choice | 04:43 |
| walkman79 | when I type ulimit -n 4096 I get this : "bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted" | 04:43 |
| Sazpaimon | now, when I reoot, it gives me some issue with finding the root device, and then dumps me to a command prompt | 04:43 |
| tj83 | i'm out people... good night good day good morning whatever. | 04:43 |
| Sazpaimon | obviously i messed something up | 04:43 |
| errpast | kelvin911, ya, and the two copper heat sinks are very hot to touch at that temp | 04:43 |
| tritium | tenX: hence the fix | 04:43 |
| tenX | techno_freak: i am aware of the debian/ubuntu relation | 04:43 |
| superdood | @walkman79: changing the limit with ulimit -n should do the trick. The problem you had is apparently going to be fixed in utorrent 1.8 | 04:44 |
| Sazpaimon | now, I'll be able to mount the drive and such in another OS, even windows | 04:44 |
| tenX | tritium: hence? can you explain me that word? | 04:44 |
| errpast | kelvin911, the fan noise really irks me. That's my personal problem, but chaning fan speeds make me nuts | 04:44 |
| drivetrax | can I install the Apple version of QuickTime 7 on ubuntu? | 04:44 |
| monestri_ | Can anyone help with problems involving hibernation/suspend/idling for long periods of time. Symptoms include freezing/hanging, missing mouse pointers. Running 8.04 on a laptop 32bit. | 04:44 |
| Sazpaimon | is there a way I can mount the drive on an ubuntu livecd, then finish the conversion? | 04:44 |
| brianfreud | Hi | 04:44 |
| EnderTheThird | Any idea why/if recent updates hosed my NFS shares? | 04:44 |
| errpast | kelvin911, I can stand steady white noise, but not intermittent and unpredictable | 04:44 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: what softwares were u running to get to 70 degrees? | 04:44 |
| Sazpaimon | now time to format that all into 1 line and ask it again later... | 04:44 |
| drivetrax | I do not see a Linux version At apple, for QuickTime | 04:44 |
| errpast | kelvin911, FF, skype, and gvim | 04:44 |
| cjournell09_ | ubottu: thank you for the links...sorry i didnt notice before | 04:44 |
| ubottu | cjournell09_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:44 |
| tenX | tritium: i'll look it up quickly w8 | 04:44 |
| errpast | kelvin911, If I go to FF, and refresh tabs 20 times, I will increase CPU by 20 degrees | 04:45 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, tritium I just rebooted... menu.lst still only shows -16... yet synaptic shows that both -16 and -17 are installed as well as uname -a shows only -16... any ideas ? | 04:45 |
| Pic3 | hey | 04:45 |
| techno_freak | drivetrax, you have to try with other players, there are plugins to play quicktime movie in them | 04:45 |
| tritium | tenX: please stay on topic. This is not a grammar channel. | 04:45 |
| drivetrax | techi602, why??? | 04:45 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: maybe your fan isnt spinning? | 04:45 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, what packages are installed for 17 in synaptic? | 04:45 |
| drivetrax | er, techno_freak ? | 04:45 |
| starcannon | drivetrax search synaptic package manager for quicktime, i forget the package name sorry, you may need to enable medibuntu as well (google that) | 04:45 |
| tritium | CaptainMorgan: which -17 packages specifically are installed? | 04:45 |
| cjournell09_ | ubottu: sense of humor...i like | 04:45 |
| ubottu | cjournell09_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:45 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: maybe u need fan speed controller in linux for 5150? | 04:45 |
| walkman79 | when I type ulimit -n I get this "bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted" | 04:45 |
| Pic3 | don't make dummy packages like epiphany-browser | 04:45 |
| errpast | kelvin911, I just stuck a pen tip in. It's spinning | 04:45 |
| cjournell09_ | haha wow it really is a bot!!! | 04:46 |
| cjournell09_ | i feel stupid | 04:46 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: maybe it is not spinning at full speed | 04:46 |
| drivetrax | why all this 'jump thru hoops .. I mean apple runs on XP.. | 04:46 |
| errpast | kelvin911, hmmm, that's interesting. fan speed controller. What does that mean? | 04:46 |
| node357 | lol yep it's a bot | 04:46 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: 5150 fan speed keeps changing | 04:46 |
| superdood | Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Important: type « /msg ubottu etiquette » | Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support |22:43 < tenX> tritium: in that case adjusting the scripts instead of fooling around somewhere you shouldnt should be the choice | 04:46 |
| EnderTheThird | In case uBOTtu didn't give it away... | 04:46 |
| superdood | 22:43 < walkman79> when I type ulimit -n 4096 I get this : "bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted" | 04:46 |
| tenX | tritium: i never expected such an immature comment from you at that point :( | 04:46 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: in XP it changes depends on the cpu temp | 04:46 |
| superdood | 22:43 < Sazpaimon> now, when I reoot, it gives me some issue with finding the root device, and then dumps me to a command prompt | 04:46 |
| superdood | 22:43 < tj83> i'm out people... good night good day good morning whatever. | 04:46 |
| tritium | superdood: ? | 04:46 |
| FloodBot2 | superdood: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:46 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: maybe u need one in linux? | 04:46 |
| superdood | 22:43 -!- EnderTheThird [n=phil@cblmdm72-241-236-43.buckeyecom.net] has joined #ubuntu | 04:46 |
| Vratha | well, cdrecord seemed a lot easier to use than it used to be | 04:46 |
| errpast | kelvin911, is that a bios setting? It seems about 3 fan speeds. You could be onto something. Maybe I need to get to the higher speed quicker | 04:46 |
| superdood | 22:43 < Sazpaimon> obviously i messed something up | 04:46 |
| Sazpaimon | wat | 04:46 |
| Vratha | maybe | 04:47 |
| errpast | kelvin911, ya, it has different speeds. seems to switch L, M and H at 55, 60, 65 degrees | 04:47 |
| Vratha | oops... didn't mean to say "maybe" | 04:47 |
| tritium | tenX: excuse you? | 04:47 |
| drivetrax | I dunno.. but, seems to me.. others would benefit by making their software run on Linux as well as Windows | 04:47 |
| Sazpaimon | alrtight let me try that again | 04:47 |
| errpast | Maybe I need High sooner. I've no idea how I would change that. I suspect it's a bios function | 04:47 |
| Sazpaimon | before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired, that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1. everything was going fine, but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" in the middle of installing all the dkpkgs. now, when I reoot, it gives me some issue with finding the r | 04:47 |
| Sazpaimon | oot device, and then dumps me to a command prompt, is there a way I can mount the drive on an ubuntu livecd, then finish the conversion? | 04:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, tritium the exact same as 16... linux-headers-2.6.24-16 and -generic, linux-headers-2.6.24-17 and -generic, as well as linux-headers-generic | 04:47 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: set them lower | 04:47 |
| tritium | CaptainMorgan: those are only header packages. No linux-image package? | 04:48 |
| errpast | kelvin911, in bios? | 04:48 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, only the linux-headers ? | 04:48 |
| freeagy | hi | 04:48 |
| errpast | kelvin911, interesting idea. | 04:48 |
| Sazpaimon | basically, booting a livecd, unmounting /, then mounting the /dev/hda1 as / | 04:48 |
| freeagy | magyarok vagytok? | 04:48 |
| Sazpaimon | then running apt-get blah blah blah | 04:48 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: set L 50 M 55 H 60 | 04:48 |
| Sazpaimon | will THAT work? | 04:48 |
| errpast | kelvin911, let me google fan speed, 5150 and ubuntu | 04:48 |
| errpast | kelvin911, brb | 04:48 |
| tenX | tritium: you do not seem to be aware of the dimension of that security hole. i dont know if you're only responsible of your own little system | 04:48 |
| Sazpaimon | out of morbid curiosity | 04:48 |
| kelvin911 | errpast: my 5150 screen is blackout broken so i cant install ubuntu | 04:48 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, no linux-image package? | 04:48 |
| tritium | tenX: I'm fully aware of the security hole. | 04:49 |

| ErickGhint | Hey, guys. I was wondering if someone could help me out with a partition issue really quick. I've formatted my old windows partition to add space to my fairly small Linux part... I really don't need to merge the two partitions, it would be nice but not needed. However, when I go to copy anything into the new partition, it says that I don't have permission to do so. I formatted the new partition in ext3 (not sure why, i remember hea | 04:49 |

| CaptainMorgan | tritium, techno_freak linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic and -17-generic are installed too... do I need linux-image ? which is currently .17.19 ? | 04:50 |
| starcannon | I installed Ubuntu using a usb cdrom worked fine | 04:50 |
| tenX | tritium: and that indeed is a dis regarding the circumstances | 04:50 |
| RainMaker | If anyone can help me with a icon question please pm me. | 04:50 |
| drivetrax | fish in atlantis.. screensaver.. man, this is Ubuntu help.. | 04:50 |
| seamus7 | Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a new way of opening ports? | 04:50 |
| monestri_ | sigh, too many people to get help here | 04:50 |
| tenX | tritium: sounds like i was talking off topic nonsense | 04:50 |
| hisingh1_ | cycom: does your screen saver actuall display the fish?? How did you do that | 04:50 |
| tritium | tenX: no, it's not. The channel is too busy for offtopic like that. Please drop the subject. | 04:50 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, if a kernel update is found it should install it | 04:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | tritium, techno_freak I'm using 64-bit arch... do I need linux-image-amd64 too ? | 04:50 |
| tenX | tritium: whatever... | 04:51 |
| starcannon | monestri_ the ubuntuforums.org is often a good place to look as well | 04:51 |
| cycom | hisingh1_: well, ok, sharks and dolphins | 04:51 |
| cycom | hisingh1_: not really fish | 04:51 |
| monestri_ | don't get me started on the forums | 04:51 |
| monestri_ | the search feature is terrible | 04:51 |
| EdijusXP | Hello. I tried connect to the Internet using wireless, but the Internet was not working. I have advent 7204 and Ubuntu 8.04 | 04:51 |
| tawd_ | can someone help me? i ran wvdialconf to determine my modem, but it said "Sorry, no modem was detected!" I know i can connect on my windows partition. | 04:51 |
| monestri_ | easier to search for what your looking for in google and + ubuntu forums | 04:51 |
| seamus7 | monestri_ the forums are very useful for troubleshooting ... I've solved many problems there | 04:51 |
| tenX | EdijusXP: the internet is not working? uah thats shocking | 04:51 |
| hisingh1_ | cycom: to add sharks and dolphins go to ccsm | 04:51 |
| EdijusXP | tawd_: is is winmodem? | 04:51 |
| hisingh1_ | cycom: u know how to do that | 04:52 |
| Ediferious | I have boobs, so....Answer me this (I've already perused the forums and not found anything successful) How do I get VLC to ignore region codes in 8.04 | 04:52 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, those commands are not showing the kernel update... why would synaptic have it? | 04:52 |
| monestri_ | I've been having hibernation/suspend problems since fiesty and have never found a working solution there | 04:52 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: maybe u can turn off autocomplete? | 04:52 |
| techno_freak | monestri_, start your google search word with ubuntuforums, it will be more useful | 04:52 |
| drivetrax | LOL | 04:52 |
| hisingh1_ | cycom: then go to the atlantic 2 icon and | 04:52 |
| Ediferious | ;) | 04:52 |
| tawd_ | EdijusXP what? | 04:52 |
| kelvin911 | ringer: i dont know | 04:52 |
| cycom | hisingh1_: screensaver, not the desktop cube junk | 04:52 |
| EdijusXP | tenX: yes. Ubuntu shows I'm connected, but i cant use the internet. it asks and asks for password. | 04:52 |
| tritium | tenX: don't complain about being dissed, and then turn around and dis others | 04:52 |
| monestri_ | I came here out of a last resort of starts, but it seems to have been a bad idea | 04:52 |
| monestri_ | sorts* | 04:52 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, is your current kernel amd64? | 04:52 |
| starcannon | monestri_ sorry didn't know it wasn't working out, I have had great results myself, google a term followed with ubuntu, say for instance: nvidia ubuntu that will often times bring up forum results, you can do advanced google searches and tell it to return only ubuntuforum.org results as well if you prefer a different search engine | 04:52 |
| slyboots | Okay.. Uh, I got kismet working.. sort of x.x | 04:52 |
| RainMaker | If someone can help me out with a simple icon question please pm me. | 04:52 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, yes | 04:52 |
| slyboots | It runs for about 6 seconds befre the system locks up with a kernel panic | 04:53 |
| seamus7 | Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a new firewall app that would allow me to open a port? | 04:53 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, then you need amd64 version for 17 | 04:53 |
| hisingh1_ | cycom: you need the desktop cube junk to do it | 04:53 |
| Ediferious | ...No one cares to help me? :( | 04:53 |
| techno_freak | Ediferious, what's your problem? | 04:53 |
| RainMaker | Ypu just need to wait. | 04:53 |
| RainMaker | You* | 04:53 |
| starcannon | monestri_ whats yoru question? I'll help if I can, it is busy here tonight for sure | 04:53 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, that doesn't explain why it's not found using apt-get...... ? | 04:53 |
| cycom | hisingh1_: no, you don't. | 04:53 |
| Ediferious | "Answer me this (I've already perused the forums and not found anything successful) How do I get VLC to ignore region codes in 8.04" | 04:53 |
| tritium | Ediferious: your intro was inappropriate. | 04:54 |
| Ediferious | Fine. | 04:54 |
| cycom | hisingh1_: Atlantis is also a standard screensaver. I can use the XScreensaver package to do it, but it doesn't work as nicely as the gnome stuff. | 04:54 |
| monestri_ | Basically in previous versions I couldn't suspend without rewaking back to a a screen with a missing mouse. | 04:54 |
| Ediferious | I'm sorry for humor. | 04:54 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, having an upgrade for i386 doesn't mean there is an upgrade for amd64 as well.. synaptic is a front end for apt, thats all | 04:54 |
| mrstevegross | Hi folks | 04:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, which should I iinstall? linux-headers-amd64-generic which shows .17 description: Upgrade dummy package. Can be removed. ? | 04:54 |

| brianfreud | Total newbie question, if I may. I'm trying to switch to Ubuntu. I've created several installation CDs, using 2 different drives, and I checked that the md5 was correct - yet no install CD gets more than halfway without erroring out as an unreadable CD. I have created a new ext3 partition that's 850 mb - is there some way I can put the install image on there, then use that to install? | 04:55 |
| tawd_ | EdijusXP, that's where i found the wvdialconf comand | 04:55 |
| hisingh1_ | bye everybody | 04:55 |
| techno_freak | tenX, not much, just in the bug squad | 04:55 |
| monestri_ | EdijusXP, look in the forums about ndiswrapper | 04:55 |
| hisingh1_ | hw... man that sucks | 04:55 |
| tritium | !wireless | EdijusXP | 04:55 |
| tawd_ | EdijusXP, wvdialconf gave me "no modem was detected" | 04:55 |
| ubottu | EdijusXP: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:55 |
| starcannon | monestri_ oi sorry i'm no good on suspend resume, your problem sounds usb related though, and I have read things about that here and there but i'm useless.. | 04:55 |
| brianfreud | Right now I am running from the CD image, which seems fine... I just can'tget any CD to finish the install | 04:55 |
| drivetrax | brianfreud, -- look up Unetbootin | 04:55 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, ? | 04:55 |
| monestri_ | usb related?? | 04:55 |
| emma | Was someone in here asking about booting Ubuntu from a USB? | 04:56 |
| monestri_ | where do you get that? | 04:56 |
| monestri_ | that's funny | 04:56 |
| mrstevegross | Newbie question: I'm running Ubuntu via VirtualBox on a Windows XP box. I'm trying to set up sshd to allow me to ssh from xp to ubuntu. Does anyone have expertise in this area? | 04:56 |
| EdijusXP | tawd_: I had the same problem some time ago. I guess u will not be able to use it. | 04:56 |
| etheredge | how can i get the latest drivers for my video card | 04:56 |
| tritium | mrstevegross: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 04:56 |
| drivetrax | brianfreud, or, unetbutin.. | 04:56 |
| monestri_ | because my usb ports don't work either. | 04:56 |
| cycom | mrstevegross: should be able to just apt-get install ssh | 04:56 |
| huawei | emma: yeah please help me | 04:56 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, in synaptic there is a mark all upgrades? click it | 04:56 |
| monestri_ | Devices work if they're connected from boot, but hotswapping doesn't work. | 04:56 |
| tawd_ | EdijusXP, ok. i'll look around a little more before giving up | 04:56 |
| mrstevegross | tritium: Yeah, I've gone through that, and configured sshd_config. | 04:56 |
| etheredge | im trying to get wow to run and i need to update my drivers i think | 04:56 |
| tritium | mrstevegross: great | 04:56 |
| mrstevegross | Still, however, I get "connection refused" when I run putty on xp. | 04:56 |
| tenX | techno_freak: one thing - i'd like to emphasize that i'am really thankful for the communities works and love debian specific distributions. not to get me wrong. but you have to admit that it was a severe incident, really critical | 04:56 |
| seamus7 | Is there a new way of opening a port in Hardy? I'm trying to get Deluge to receive incoming connections but no luck so far.... | 04:56 |
| monestri_ | And there's no dmesg response to usb devices being plugged in (hotswapping) | 04:56 |
| RainMaker | If anyone can help me out with a simple icon question, please say so. | 04:56 |
| emma | huawei, try this out -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 04:56 |
| monestri_ | so it's not an automount issue. | 04:56 |
| seamus7 | RainMaker ? | 04:57 |
| tritium | tenX: nobody is downplaying the severity | 04:57 |
| EdijusXP | tawd_: It's very hard task.. | 04:57 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, that didn't do anything... "Apply" didn't go bold... | 04:57 |
| starcannon | monestri_ i was assuming the mouse is a usb mouse, that or I got your post mixed with another, it is goingby fast and i'm on an asus eee, and your tone is less than pleasant, i'm going back to answer questions in the forums, this place is wack tonight | 04:57 |
| techno_freak | tenX, am not running away from saying it wasn't a fault, am saying that it happens once in a while and people learn from it | 04:57 |
| Ediferious | Anyone - Region codes on DVDs? | 04:57 |
| tawd_ | EdijusXP, yeah. i wonder how they coped with it in the past! | 04:57 |
| huawei | emma: I want the ubuntu iso to boot from usb instead of burning a CD always | 04:57 |
| tritium | Ediferious: yes, there are | 04:57 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, then there might not be an upgrade to your installed packages, which includes the kernel as well | 04:57 |
| Ediferious | ... | 04:57 |
| monestri_ | ok, you could just say you don't know | 04:58 |
| monestri_ | no need to blame me | 04:58 |
| Ediferious | tritium: how do I get vlc to ignore them? | 04:58 |
| tritium | Ediferious: don't know, but that's a better-worded question. | 04:58 |
| emma | huawei, that's what this link is explaining how to do -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 04:58 |

| etheredge | i need to get the new drivers for my video card | 04:58 |

| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, what does "Upgrade dummy package...." mean ? | 04:58 |
| tenX | techno_freak: yes in a way we agree. but the incident made me loose trust in something i was standing for. it was hard for me personally since i sell debianish services a lot | 04:58 |
| CaptainMorgan | should I attempt it ? | 04:59 |

| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, tritium this is what I don't understand... if /lib/modules/ shows BOTH -16 and -17 why can't I somehow reroute the current configuration from 16 to 17 ? | 05:00 |
| tenX | techno_freak: i am just afraid there may be other distro specific modifications :( | 05:00 |
| etheredge | Ediferious, the card is GM965/GL960 | 05:00 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, dummy package is not the original package, it's just a name which might point to the latest package. you can try changing the mirror and check if an upgrade is available | 05:00 |
| drivetrax | To install firefox2, I would uninstall firefox3, then download firefox2, and install it | 05:00 |
| seamus7 | Ediferious I thought VLC ignored region codes | 05:01 |

| CaptainMorgan | or simple pointer to | 05:01 |
| Ediferious | etheredge: Do A google for "<card> Ubuntu driver" | 05:01 |
| Philh | seamus7, me too | 05:01 |
| tritium | tenX: it was *not* a modification to code. It was scripts that didn't seed the RNG properly. | 05:01 |
| etheredge | Ediferious, just tried that looking now | 05:01 |
| Ediferious | etheredge: when you get a result, synaptic search for that. | 05:01 |

| Philh | Ediferious, what kind of errors are you getting, i haven't seem region code related stuff from vlc before | 05:03 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, then you can edit grub's menu.list to add an entry to 17 and try booting with it | 05:03 |
| drivetrax | mrstevegross, open port 22 on the ubuntu box | 05:03 |
| CaptainMorgan | techno_freak, ah... ok, thanks! | 05:03 |

| chris256 | I have the boot splash screen disabled so when I boot up, I see messages scroll by. But some of the messages go by too fast to read. I looked at all the logs in /var/logs but cannot find some of those initial boot messages. I know because I can see some message that says "FATAL ERROR" and then something about a battery. Are those messages I am seeing on boot up logged anywhere? If so, where can I find it? | 05:04 |
| Ediferious | Philh: Because I had to change region codes in windows to get this disk to work. | 05:05 |

| mrstevegross | drivetrax: My understanding is that virtual box should work like a separate system, and that I could have my XP box talk to the network interface on virtual box. | 05:09 |
| techno_freak | CaptainMorgan, you just installed new packages, but not updated the old one, may be because of that too. | 05:09 |
| tawd_ | legend2440, lol. right after that it gives the command wvdialconf, which said i have no modem | 05:09 |

| Ediferious | Marfi: did you get that? | 05:10 |

| tritium | tenX: definitely | 05:11 |
| RainMaker | Now that I browse for my icon it doesn't show my icon for me to choose.. | 05:11 |
| Ediferious | Marfi: Could you google what the previous version was, install it, then uninstall the old? | 05:11 |

| grendal_prime | any advice on this thing would be great | 05:11 |
| drivetrax | mrstevegross, this is kinda off-topic | 05:11 |
| tenX | tritium: though i mostly use it as a server system | 05:11 |
| drivetrax | mrstevegross, however.. both ports in windows and Ubuntu should be open.. to telnet to.. and if there is windows firewall.. it should also be open on that port | 05:12 |

| seamus7 | RainMaker it's not intuitive ... once you find the folder you know the icon is in choose Open ... it should then open a new window which will display thumbnails of all the icons in that folder | 05:13 |
| Ahadiel | superkuh, I think you're looking for sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic | 05:13 |
| drivetrax | MrStevegross - sure | 05:13 |
| Ahadiel | not sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic | 05:14 |

| RainMaker | ~sigh~ I open the folder where the icon I want is, but no thumbnails. | 05:16 |
| mrstevegross | drivetrax: Ok, I've allowed telnet and ssh policies from "anyone" and "applied policy". Still no luck--do the changes apply immediately? | 05:16 |
| NastyAccident | CDROM, HD1, HD2? | 05:16 |
| Philh | tenX, you mean the non root user also created, why would you do that, do you do everything as root? | 05:16 |
| seamus7 | RainMaker you click the Firefox icon in Properties and then Browse to the folder .. the folder will be empty ... then click Open and a new window will open displaying its content .... are your icons in proper formats | 05:16 |
| tenX | i see sudo as a help for windows users to differ accounts | 05:16 |

| fongkwan | anyone know? | 05:21 |
| NastyAccident | Just switch it to the CDROM and you'll be able to get into the LiveCD. | 05:21 |
| tenX | imho sudo in ubuntu is only a way for users new to linux to seperate user rights | 05:21 |
| NastyAccident | Easy data transfer. | 05:21 |
| mrstevegross | drivetrax: "shares" ? | 05:21 |

| tenX | tritium: it doesnt. it doesnt make a difference if you use sudo or execute commands as root | 05:22 |
| NastyAccident | What LiveCD are you using? | 05:23 |
| tawd | usser, awesome! thanks. i'm one step closer to being able to use bash as well as the GUI | 05:23 |
| tenX | tritium: IFFF the sudoers file gives you the same powers as root of course | 05:23 |
| tritium | tenX: it does. Consider that you run gentoo, so I know that you have a root account. All I have to guess is the root password. I run ubuntu. You'll have to guess two things: my user account, *and* my password | 05:23 |
| tenX | tritium: and in ubuntu it dows | 05:23 |
| mrstevegross | drivetrax: I see that firestarter reports connection attempts. It does not appear to show any, though. This is odd, given that I have tried a number of times to connect. Any ideas? | 05:23 |

| kelvin911 | rooly: ntfs | 05:27 |
| chris256_ | I would expect that under Windows things wouldn't be logged but not Linux. | 05:27 |
| tritium | tenX: fine, I'm not too interested in debating it | 05:27 |
| tenX | tritium: finding out local usernames shouldnt be that hard | 05:27 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: or ext3 | 05:28 |
| tenX | tritium: yeah because you're losing ;) | 05:28 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: i hear bad thing about ext2 | 05:28 |
| tritium | tenX: no, I'm not at all | 05:28 |
| Philh | rooly, as long as you remember to change ownership of the filesystem's root then ext3 is good... | 05:28 |
| sai | Does anyone know how to convert RMVB to Ipod? | 05:28 |
| tenX | tritium: well who cares | 05:28 |
| rooly | ok, so ext3 or ntfs | 05:28 |
| m3ltd0wn123 | I am trying to add a new user with ftp rights and it isnt working.. keeps saying login info not correct | 05:28 |
| byonix | hi, i wanted to create some tutorial, i use gtk-recordmydesktop, i have a headphone with microphone on it, how do i record my voice in the tutorial? | 05:28 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: but ntfs is the best for external because u can read it in windows and mac | 05:28 |
| rooly | hmm, i'm not particularly worried about windows usage, and mac usage is effectively non-existent | 05:29 |
| tenX | tritium: for me it's a nice way to introduce new users to a more secure OS usage - for you its a stupid command you always have to type in before being allowed to change anything :p | 05:29 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: then ext3 | 05:29 |
| Philh | rooly, there are a few questions to ask, drive type, solid state or magnetic, target use, external backup or portable storage | 05:29 |
| chris256_ | My computer keeps locking up. It did it sometimes in Gutsy but it does it frequently now with Hardy. I'm probably am going to have to try another distro. That's a shame because I like Ubuntu. | 05:29 |
| tritium | tenX: no, I use sudo -i | 05:29 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: maybe ur hardware | 05:30 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: try memtest | 05:30 |
| chris256_ | Anybody have any recommendations of other distros to try? | 05:30 |
| tenX | tritium: do i have to confront the man page or will you introduce me to your magic | 05:30 |
| rooly | lets see, sata 7200, magnetic, and both backup and portable | 05:30 |
| chris256_ | I did memtest overnight and no problems. | 05:30 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: puppylinux | 05:30 |
| Shpook | NastyAccident: So, I just took the hd out of the laptop, and it booted right up into livecd. | 05:30 |
| tritium | tenX: try it ;) | 05:30 |
| Philh | tenX, similar to sudo su but retaining the current user's session, or something like that | 05:30 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: or try clean install ubuntu 7.10 | 05:31 |
| chris256_ | I've heard good things about Puppy. | 05:31 |
| tenX | Philh: thx :) | 05:31 |
| tritium | Philh: right ;) | 05:31 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: hardy did lock up on me 3 times already | 05:31 |
| tenX | tritium: :p | 05:31 |
| tritium | tenX: thus, I type sudo once, just as I'd type su once, so it's no less efficient, | 05:31 |
| tenX | thats conform to su - isnt it.. | 05:31 |
| tenX | tritium: well su is muuuch shorter | 05:32 |
| tenX | tritium: and i win :) | 05:32 |
| chris256_ | I thought abuot that downgrading to 7.10. This 8.04 is a clean install. | 05:32 |
| tritium | tenX: nah, you still have an enabled root account, with one less thing to guess | 05:32 |
| chris256_ | Btw I don't have any Nvidia drivers or hardware. | 05:32 |
| hydrogen | tritium: thats assuming one has sshd running | 05:32 |
| hydrogen | among other things | 05:32 |
| rooly | what would be the fastest-access fs for an external via usb drive | 05:33 |
| tritium | hydrogen: or local access | 05:33 |
| tenX | tritium: my password is longer than route 66 so i dont feel less secure | 05:33 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: ? | 05:33 |
| walkman79 | I need help please. I'm running utorrent on ubuntu. I'm getting this error in some torrents: "too many files" | 05:33 |
| walkman79 | I tried ulimit -n but I get this : bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted | 05:33 |
| macd | rooly, you will never notice a difference, unless your working with large files, like in the multi gb and up | 05:33 |
| tritium | tenX: cool, I live right off of Route 66 | 05:33 |
| kelvin911 | chris256_: u have nvidia card? | 05:33 |
| rooly | usually do, macd | 05:33 |
| tenX | tritium: damn stay off the road | 05:34 |
| Philh | rooly, i've just set one up using ext3 with a tiny vfat partition just for emergencies, seems pretty fast | 05:34 |
| macd | rooly, well, if they're all big, you cant beat xfs. | 05:34 |
| chris256_ | No, I do not have an nvidia nard. | 05:34 |
| === SplinTer061662 is now known as SplinTer0616 | ||

| hydrogen | tritium: if you managed to get a program running locally to bruteforce than it could just as easily bruteforce sudo | 05:34 |
| chris256_ | That is what I was saying that I don't have one. Because I have heard of a lot of lock-ups with nvidia cards. | 05:34 |
| tenX | gotta check some windoze systems, brb ;) | 05:34 |
| Philh | rooly, how did you settle on xfs? | 05:34 |
| rooly | speed, since i often carry very large files | 05:35 |

| Philh | rooly, do you expect the filesystem type to be a limiting factor when using a usb interface? | 05:36 |
| * rooly agrees with kelvin911. no issues with an nvidia 8800 since i got it | 05:36 | |
| gluck | hey guys | 05:37 |

| macd | Philh, I just tell them what they want to know and dont worry about explaining such things ;) | 05:38 |
| rooly | not sure, Philh. i was only getting around 10MB/s using a fat32 interface | 05:38 |
| chris256_ | Really, o.k. I've been googling Ubuntu with lock-up issues and find nvidia cards everywhere. But I'm have the same problems and am not using nvidia. | 05:38 |
| yeonhoo | tritium, how? could you tell me detail? | 05:38 |
| macd | rooly, fat32 filesysystem, USB interface | 05:38 |
| tritium | !java | yeonhoo | 05:38 |

| biG_mC | govno? | 05:38 |
| Philh | rooly, i'm getting around 11MB/s using ext3, i think that's the usb limiting the speed more than anything, you filesystem choice shouldn't be based around speed | 05:39 |
| tenX | macd: what is the problem using usb storage devices with fat32 fs on them if i may ask? | 05:39 |
| biG_mC | gavno!!!! | 05:39 |
| macd | chris256_, has anyone asked you to post some logs from /var/log ? | 05:39 |

| macd | tenX, I never said there was a problem, I matched a filesystem to a storage demand | 05:39 |
| rooly | i dont' want ntfs, kelvin911 | 05:39 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: if u just uses external for storage of your movies | 05:39 |
| yeonhoo | tritium, im actually trying to launch topcoder app. but no success.. | 05:39 |
| Philh | tenX, fat32 can get flakey if it's not unmounted properly | 05:39 |
| tenX | macd: okay i got you wrong | 05:39 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: then ext3 | 05:39 |
| Philh | ok, it starts out flakey and get flakier | 05:40 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: why is it so tough to choose? | 05:40 |
| d[X_X]b | anyone knows how to launch this after u make install -- http://smack.berlios.de/ | 05:40 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: fat32 cant store big files | 05:40 |
| chris256_ | macd: No, I haven't posted any logs and haven't really asked for any advice anywhere. I've just searched the forums. | 05:40 |
| rooly | just wanted to know what the people in the know know | 05:40 |
| tenX | Philh: everything should be unmounted properly. and fat32 usage is another pain | 05:40 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: and the smallest filesize probably will be 32KB | 05:40 |
| Philh | tenX, just because everything should be doesn't mean it always is | 05:40 |
| RyanPrior | d[X_X]b: Does just running "smack" not work? Shame that they wouldn't put it on your path... | 05:41 |
| kelvin911 | rooly: fat32 isnt efficient | 05:41 |
| macd | chris256_, why dont you pastebin your /var/log/lastlog /var/log/kern.log /var/log/dmesg /var/log/syslog (just the time when it locked up) | 05:41 |
| RyanPrior | kelvin911: fat32 is efficient. It fragments, but it does it efficiently. | 05:41 |
| tenX | Philh: and just because i want to it doesnt mean i will ;) | 05:41 |
| d[X_X]b | ryanprior no it doesnt...but i traced it to /usr/local/share/smack/ | 05:41 |
| === maco_ is now known as maco | ||
| d[X_X]b | dont know what to do next | 05:41 |
| kelvin911 | RyanPrior: fat32 is efficient?? | 05:42 |
| rooly | right-o then. ext3 + 4gb vfat it is | 05:42 |
| kelvin911 | RyanPrior: u crazy? | 05:42 |
| mao | quit | 05:42 |
| Philh | RyanPrior, it's really good at fragmenting, best around | 05:42 |
| macd | d[X_X]b, did you try typing "smack" | 05:42 |
| RyanPrior | Philh: It totally is. | 05:42 |
| tenX | Philh: unmounting is important because you tell your OS to definitely write the buffered date to the device to be disconnected. if you just pull the plug you might be missing stuff | 05:42 |
| rooly | is there any way to get stop the vfat from automounting? | 05:42 |
| d[X_X]b | macd yes | 05:42 |
| Philh | tenX, this i know | 05:42 |
| RyanPrior | kelvin911: I use fat32 for my ~/Video partition, which I mount read-only unless I'm adding a new file to it. | 05:43 |
| Frogzoo | rooly: external? | 05:43 |
| macd | d[X_X]b, how about 'locate smack' | 05:43 |
| rooly | yes, Frogzoo | 05:43 |
| chris256_ | macd, O.k. what is pastebin? How many lines back from the time my system locked up from each log should be pastebinned? | 05:43 |
| kelvin911 | RyanPrior: why fat32 and not ntfs? | 05:43 |
| d[X_X]b | macd do no...shoild i type in terminal...hold | 05:43 |
| RyanPrior | kelvin911: Because fat32 is well understood and doesn't require a userland driver. | 05:43 |
| kelvin911 | RyanPrior: but fat32 cant store large files | 05:44 |
| tenX | kelvin911: is ntfs usage _really_ a safe *nix option nowadays? | 05:44 |
| RyanPrior | kelvin911: I don't have any, so no big. | 05:44 |
| tritium | tenX: yes, with ntfs-3g | 05:44 |
| d[X_X]b | macd nothing but pointing to trashcan files | 05:44 |
| kelvin911 | i think ntfs is pretty safe now | 05:44 |
| RyanPrior | tenX: Depends on what angle you're coming at. If you're running a data center, I wouldn't suggest it. For home use, yeah it's pretty safe. | 05:44 |
| tenX | tritium: reallyreallyreally? productive? ;) | 05:44 |
| rooly | i wanted to strat away from fat32 anyway, as its been giving me a little trouble | 05:44 |

| rooly | via the sound-recorder or applications like audacity, byonix | 05:47 |
| tenX | Philh: so what is that damn tenX b* like | 05:47 |
| macd | d[X_X]b, if you compiled it, chance are 'make uninstall' in addition to | 05:47 |
| tritium | tenX: really, that comment about TX was inappropriate. No need for prejudice here, pleas.e | 05:47 |
| tenX | in case the makefile contains that target.. | 05:47 |
| macd | d[X_X]b, 'make clean' also remove any junk it threw in share | 05:48 |
| d[X_X]b | make uninstall worked thanks guys but oddly enough it left empty folders | 05:48 |
| RyanPrior | d[X_X]b: yeah, sometimes uninstallers are a little messy. | 05:48 |
| d[X_X]b | so i gues manually delete should be safe | 05:48 |

| rooly | byonix, "applications->sound & video->sound recorder" is an included application. you have to install any others | 05:49 |
| d[X_X]b | yea true that | 05:49 |
| Philh | byonix, you could record the video first then use audacity to record the voiceover while watching it later,even if the desktop recorder can record voice to the video you'll have more time to think about your commentary | 05:49 |
| tenX | RyanPrior: you need people like us there to get it really goin on there i guess ;) | 05:49 |
| tenX | tritium: lets skip that its all good | 05:50 |

| kelvin911 | robert__: run that command | 05:51 |
| Philh | byonix, sudo apt-get install audacity first, i suspect | 05:51 |
| kelvin911 | then ./et-sdl-sound to play | 05:51 |
| macd | byonix, ubuntu-studio might be a perfect match for you http://ubuntustudio.org/ , as well you can install its packages ontop on a "normal" ubuntu install | 05:51 |

| monestri | A: you! | 06:28 |
| tenX | monestri: specify your problems | 06:28 |
| monestri | Ok, only major problem left is the usb. Devices work at boot but I can't even manually mount if I hotswap. | 06:28 |
| tenX | monestri: we're all as smart as hell what do you expect | 06:28 |
| monestri | Like, nothing shows up in dmesg and nothing shows up in /dev | 06:28 |
| macd | !info xlib6 | 06:28 |
| ubottu | Package xlib6 does not exist in hardy | 06:28 |

| Rat409 | byonix: look in settings tab i use regular xchat if i use a gui.gnome-xchats pretty well dumbed down | 06:29 |
| tenX | zChris: who the hell is that hell guy | 06:29 |
| monestri | usb works fine at boot | 06:29 |
| monestri | when i'm in the os hotswapping does not work | 06:29 |
| zChris | tenX: you said we are as smart as hell | 06:29 |
| monestri | if it didn't work b4 the os i wouldn't be complaining in the ubuntu channel :D | 06:29 |
| tenX | zChris: said we all were. dont turn it on me now | 06:30 |
| Philh | monestri, what kind of devices are you swapping? | 06:30 |
| whatisgoingon | does .xinitrc still exist? if so, where is it? | 06:30 |
| monestri | any kind | 06:30 |

| kelvin911 | what is hotswapping? | 06:30 |
| monestri | pulling in and out | 06:30 |
| tenX | monestri: and dmesg doesnt show changes? | 06:30 |
| n-iCe | how can I reinstall the ubuntu grub? | 06:30 |
| kelvin911 | not a good idea | 06:30 |
| tenX | kelvin911: pulling in and out generally is.. a good idea :) | 06:31 |
| monestri | nope tenX | 06:31 |
| Philh | kelvin911, presumably hotswapping is swapping when the machine is powered on, i think it still counts as hotswapping if you unmount first | 06:31 |
| kelvin911 | tenX: depends on what | 06:31 |
| riotkittie | oh woe is me! is there some means of forcing a wireless adapter to go "heeey loookit me, i'm alive! and i'll let you go online because you're awesome'. :( [i have a usb wifi adapter and it works fine. every now and then, i'll boot into windows, and it will not work in ubuntu. i can bring it up, bring it down, and restart networking to my heart's content but it's just like "sorry, i stepped out for lunch!" :( | 06:31 |
| kelvin911 | tenX: on a chick yes | 06:31 |
| n-iCe | how can I reinstall the ubuntu grub? | 06:31 |
| monestri | dmesg showws no love | 06:31 |
| tenX | kelvin911: of course :) | 06:31 |
| monestri | cpet when devices are plugged in at boot | 06:32 |
| monestri | then it shows when they're disconnected | 06:32 |
| zChris | riotkittie: are the settings correct? :< | 06:32 |
| monestri | and sometiems I can even plug them back in | 06:32 |
| monestri | if i'm lucky that is | 06:32 |
| monestri | but if they're not plugged in at boot | 06:32 |
| monestri | no such luck | 06:32 |
| t808490 | I need to revert to VESA display drivers, how do I do that? | 06:32 |
| kelvin911 | monestri: unplug without unmount usually create problem | 06:32 |
| zChris | !enter | monestri | 06:32 |
| Rat409 | monestri: look in /etc/fstab its probly set noauto | 06:32 |
| macd | riotkittie, do you have one that makes you load firmware? | 06:32 |
| ubottu | monestri: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:32 |
| monestri | kelvin911, not the issue | 06:32 |
| tenX | monestri: so if you boot up the devices are detected? is your hardware working correctly? | 06:33 |
| riotkittie | zChris: yes the settings are fine. it's just, every once in a while after booting into windows, shutting down and booting back into ubuntu, it goes into a coma. for the most part, 2 reboots and it'll be fine but i've done like ten, and it's been like this for 3 hours. :| | 06:33 |
| === t808490 is now known as stoked | ||
| monestri | Rat409, not the problem | 06:33 |
| riotkittie | macd: no. | 06:33 |
| monestri | fstab is for automounting | 06:33 |
| monestri | I can't even manually mount | 06:33 |
| zChris | riotkittie: and it works if you boot into windows again? | 06:33 |
| macd | riotkittie, maybe intermittent hardware failure then, it sounds wierd to me | 06:33 |
| monestri | tenX, devices work fine in windows | 06:33 |
| riotkittie | zChris: yeah | 06:33 |
| n00b | okay - I have gone to system>admin>users and clicked UNLOCK, putin my pw, gone to my username, selected User Privliges, and checked Share files wiht the local network, I have done this over and over, it never 'stays'. All I want to do is share a folder on my lan..... | 06:33 |
| monestri | and various other 'nix distros | 06:33 |
| tenX | monestri: tried a live distro like knoppix? | 06:34 |
| monestri | and maybe.. gutsy | 06:34 |
| zChris | riotkittie: when booting into linux , have you tried take it out w8 30s then plugged it in? | 06:34 |
| n00b | i have even loged out and back in after each change.... | 06:34 |
| Rat409 | monestri: try lsmod is usbcore loaded and usb-storage? | 06:34 |
| monestri | no idea what those are | 06:34 |
| tenX | Rat409: should be if everything works on boot | 06:34 |
| Rat409 | kernel-modules | 06:34 |
| monestri | k, still have no idea what do do with them | 06:34 |
| n00b | can I log into x as root? | 06:34 |
| kelvin911 | monestri: what is the prob? | 06:34 |
| riotkittie | macd: it is weird but i dont think that its hardware failure, and i've seen others with similar adapters mention the same issue but never seen a fix | 06:35 |
| riotkittie | zChris: yes | 06:35 |
| zChris | n00b: yeah but why ? | 06:35 |
| macd | dont forget when your helping people, try to make sure they know its a command, and if/where they need to type it in at, and what they should expect to see coming out of it | 06:35 |
| jorge_ | hola | 06:35 |
| monestri | kelvin911, devices don't turn up in dmesg when plugged in | 06:35 |
| monestri | usb that is | 06:35 |
| n00b | zChris, how else can I share a folder? Been trying for hours. Ready to pull remaining hair out... | 06:35 |
| macd | riotkittie, I had a similar issue with an atheros card a while back, I ent up stomping it one night and buying a new one | 06:35 |
| zChris | riotkittie: what does dmesg say when you plug it in ? perhaps it loads the wrong module or something | 06:35 |
| zChris | n00b: why do you want to share a folder as root? isit over samba or nfs? | 06:35 |
| kelvin911 | monestri: did u just unplug them from windows? | 06:36 |
| n00b | zChris - new install, I believe samba. I want to share with widows | 06:36 |
| monestri | no..... | 06:36 |
| Philh | n00b, you could always install proftpd and share that way, it's simple but it's not terribly safe | 06:36 |
| riotkittie | zChris: nothing in dmesg looks out of place at all . | 06:36 |
| monestri | this has been a problem since fiesty | 06:36 |
| monestri | not a problem since yesterday | 06:36 |
| monestri | :d | 06:36 |
| n00b | I installed ubuntu-server with samba | 06:36 |
| macd | riotkittie, have you tried stopping network-manager and doing it manually? | 06:36 |
| monestri | not anything to do with unplugging before unmounting | 06:36 |
| kelvin911 | Philh: why proftpd not safe? | 06:36 |
| n00b | need to access var/www from other pcs | 06:36 |
| riotkittie | macd: i always do it manually. | 06:36 |
| zChris | riotkittie: check what module it uses and google and see if that is the correct one | 06:37 |
| monestri | dmesg doesn't even acknowledge if I plug in usb devices unless they were present from boot | 06:37 |
| idefine | in ubuntu server is it possible to run firefox through ssh, and having the display forwarded to me, even though I don't have know installed on the ubuntu server/ | 06:37 |
| idefine | ? | 06:37 |
| macd | riotkittie, recompile your kern module with the debug symbols, then start debuggin ;) | 06:37 |
| Philh | kelvin911, because it's an ftp server that by default offers up your entire filesystem to be read via ftp, or that's been my experience | 06:37 |
| tenX | monestri: just recommend to give knoppix a shot to clear up things | 06:37 |
| zChris | macd: OR you can do it for her/him :D | 06:37 |
| monestri | it's almost as if the usb isn't activated unless it's plugged in at boot, but thena gain I know nothing about usb. So that's why i'm here | 06:37 |
| gavin__ | I am using wvdial. Is there an applet available for the system tray that I can see if the connection is still up or the speed maybe. | 06:37 |
| n00b | I will do via samba, ftp, whatever. Just need to access www/var for php testing. I can browse it, and edit files locally. PHP works, but cannot get files to it from pther pcs | 06:37 |
| riotkittie | blah. :| | 06:37 |
| idefine | i don't have gnome installed on ubuntu* | 06:37 |
| jgraham_ | macd, hey, found how to get it all.. however i'm missing the .gnome2_private/Evolution file on the account. the password is stored, just need to know where.... | 06:37 |
| kelvin911 | Philh: really? | 06:38 |
| riotkittie | maybe i'll just suck it up and go wired for a while. :( | 06:38 |
| macd | zChris, pfffft, if they know enough to not use network-manager they can do it themselves | 06:38 |
| zChris | macd: not likly :P | 06:38 |
| Philh | kelvin911, on an old installation of ubuntu, 5.10, yes, haven't tried recently | 06:38 |
| zChris | riotkittie: go wired for awhile and try to google or something | 06:38 |
| timedroid | idefine, yeah, just use X forwarding (ssh -Y) | 06:38 |
| kelvin911 | Philh: i am sure the new one isnt | 06:38 |
| macd | jgraham_, oh yeah I just looked there myself, looks like its hashed for sure | 06:38 |
| Philh | kelvin911, it's still ftp and not ssh, so less than secure | 06:39 |
| kelvin911 | Philh: i am using it, i always change the default dir to somewhere i want to share | 06:39 |
| tenX | timedroid: not sure but wasnt that the -X switch? | 06:39 |
| monestri | can anyone help with this usb problem? | 06:39 |
| zChris | n00b: is ssh installed? | 06:39 |
| monu | hi | 06:39 |
| macd | jgraham_, so you'll prolly have to put the encrypted part in a textfile and use gpg to un-encrypt it | 06:39 |
| jgraham_ | macd, base64.. easy, but.. it's missing on the account i need.. so i found /.gnome2/keyrings but i'm unsure how to decrypt it. | 06:39 |
| jgraham_ | macd, syntax? | 06:40 |
| riotkittie | sigh. google. because it's not like i'd have, oh, i don't know done research for myself at some point before asking elsewhere. :nod: | 06:40 |
| riotkittie | gah. | 06:40 |
| idefine | timedroid: i am doing that, but i get no display specified | 06:40 |
| timedroid | idefine, what OS are you running the client on? It has a working X server? | 06:40 |
| macd | jgraham_, if its not in that .gnome2_private/evolution file, then its not there | 06:40 |
| n00b | zChris, how can I tell? | 06:40 |
| monestri | can anyone help with this usb problem? | 06:41 |
| === foka_ is now known as foka | ||
| zChris | n00b: well it isint then ;) ou have to do it yourself | 06:41 |
| macd | jgraham_, as in they didnt save the pass or something possibly | 06:41 |
| kelvin911 | monestri: i think your usb problem u need to ask expert in #linux | 06:41 |
| idefine | timedroid: yep, i can do it when i ssh to other machines. | 06:41 |
| idefine | timedroid: machine is windows | 06:41 |
| timedroid | tenX, -Y doesn't apply the security extension. Not sure exactly what that does, but I know I had to use it to get forwarding working on cygwin. | 06:41 |
| monestri | i'll try, thanks, i just thought this was an ubuntu specif problem | 06:42 |
| whatshisname | anyone know exactly why on a lot of webpages that have flash content and a dhtml menu that is supposed to expand on top of it.. either all or a lot of the time the menus will in fact go behind the flash content... is it just bad css... ?? | 06:42 |
| n00b | I just installed proftpd - when I try to start it, i get this:ubuntu-server - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket | 06:42 |
| jgraham_ | macd, i think it might be in .gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring | 06:42 |
| tenX | timedroid: interesting. you dont happen to know what that security option is about? | 06:42 |
| kelvin911 | monestri: there are also many ubuntu guys in #linux or #windows | 06:42 |
| macd | jgraham_, I think thats whats used to access the stored keys elsewhere | 06:42 |
| arooni-mobile | help! ff3b5 is not launching on ubuntu hardy.... i launch it but it seems to crash before i can do anything... ideaz? | 06:42 |

| __Alex__ | I have this really weird issue when using shell... I can't type the lowercase letter x? | 06:42 |
| __Alex__ | terminal even | 06:42 |
| monestri | tenX, oh I don't want to be helped/ | 06:43 |
| kelvin911 | monestri: just so that sometimes the admin here are so annoying that no one wanna chat in here | 06:43 |
| monestri | kelvin911, uh, what? | 06:43 |
| tenX | monestri: why dont you try a live distro, i'd recommend knoppix | 06:43 |
| monestri | tenX, and do what? | 06:43 |
| legend2440 | monestri: go to system>administration>users and groups click on your username hit properties and check user priveleges make sure access external storage devices is checked | 06:43 |
| zChris | kelvin911: this channel aint for chatting. It is for troubleshooting and helping ppl that have problems with ubuntu | 06:43 |
| kelvin911 | see | 06:43 |
| jgraham_ | macd, but besides login, there would only be that password, nothing else has been done on the account.. | 06:44 |
| kelvin911 | people get piss off by this kinda msg | 06:44 |
| tenX | monestri: from that way you can most likely tell if its a general "linux" problem | 06:44 |
| Sazpaimon | before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired, that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1. everything was going fine, but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" in the middle of installing all the dkpkgs. now, when I reboot, it gives me some issue with finding the | 06:44 |
| Sazpaimon | root device, and then dumps me to a command prompt, is there a way I can mount the drive on an ubuntu livecd, then finish the conversion? | 06:44 |
| __Alex__ | anyone? I find it bizarre that I can't type the letter 'x' in my terminal sessions | 06:44 |
| zChris | !ot | kelvin911 | 06:44 |
| ubottu | kelvin911: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 06:44 |
| kelvin911 | see | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kelvin911: #ubuntu-offtopic is for general "chatting" | 06:44 |
| kelvin911 | people in #linux dont do that | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kelvin911: this channel is, and has always been, for support only | 06:44 |
| tyler | in ichat how do i switch to a different network? | 06:44 |
| zChris | kelvin911: you dont understand WHY this channel exists | 06:44 |
| timedroid | tenX, looks like they do the same thing with Debian distros, see the ForwardX11Trusted section in the manpage for ssh_config | 06:44 |
| kelvin911 | is he asking for support? | 06:44 |
| macd | jgraham_, yeah, I just tried a lil test, deleted a account in that file, then restarted evolution, and it asks for that accounts pass now, so it must be in that specific file | 06:45 |
| tyler | its a network that doesnt exist and i need to add it to the network list | 06:45 |
| tyler | but i dont see anywhere where i cna add it | 06:45 |
| monestri | legend2440, yes it's checked | 06:45 |
| macd | tyler, you dont have a add button with a big red plus sign on it like everyone else? | 06:45 |
| monestri | legend2440, though that wouldn't matter | 06:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kelvin911: you're being deliberately dense, i find it impossible that you could be completely lost to the difference between "support channel" and "chat channel" | 06:45 |

| emma | I cannot seem to get Hardy / Firefox to play a radio stream .asf that I used to listen to with Gutsy. Any ideas? | 06:45 |

| sekre-ubuntu-id | hallo all | 06:46 |
| n00b | okay, I can ssh in. How can I transfer files to the box if I can access it via ssh? | 06:46 |
| zChris | emma: try the Firefox version yopu used on hardy ? :) | 06:46 |
| timedroid | idefine, what error do you get? Can you launch xeyes? | 06:46 |
| macd | jgraham_, I thought you said it wasnt in .gnome2_private/evolution ? | 06:46 |
| tenX | timedroid: not meaning to be unkind nor lazy.. but the reading job i can do for myself. i was just asking for some basic info if it was at hand by someone | 06:46 |
| zChris | n00b: google scp | 06:46 |
| legend2440 | monestri: maybe something here will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbFlashDrives#head-94161db8cc46a2b668f1f4a4ac3a2d7b1e34959c | 06:46 |

| __Alex__ | anyone??? I've changed changed my character encoding from utf-8 to western and I still can't type the letter 'x'?!?! | 06:46 |

| zChris | n00b: winscp is KICKASS! | 06:47 |
| n00b | can I tell if there is a ftp server also running? | 06:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | __Alex__: check your keybindings | 06:47 |
| tenX | monestri: well in that case you might try compiling your own kernel | 06:47 |
| idefine | timedroid: you think that could be the problem | 06:47 |
| macd | jgraham_, its not in there for me, its only in that evolution file. | 06:47 |
| __Alex__ | Daisuke_Ido: Thanks, just realized it was somehow mapped to paste... no idea how that happened | 06:47 |

| Daisuke_Ido | __Alex__: no worries, glad you got it worked out | 06:48 |
| tenX | monestri: pita? i dont understand | 06:48 |
| monestri | thanks legend, problem dmesg gives me nothing | 06:48 |
| zChris | emma: well thats all i can do for ya :P aint that much google it seems :< | 06:48 |
| macd | sp0ro, on help.ubuntu.com you can find a bunch of info. | 06:48 |
| __Alex__ | tenX: PITA = Pain in the arse | 06:49 |
| n00b | winscp is not an option, must have local folder access or ftp. Connecting via dreamweaver, and those are the only options | 06:49 |
| sp0ro | macd: Thanks I'll have a look. | 06:49 |
| timedroid | idefine, I'm not sure. It should work as long as there's a X server on the client side, but you might be missing GUI libraries the program uses. | 06:49 |
| tenX | monestri: not neccessarily - maybe you have g* hardware ;) | 06:49 |
| tenX | __Alex__: thx | 06:49 |
| monestri | they're jsut freakin usb | 06:49 |
| n00b | if i can ssh in, surely I can enable ftp or samba. I selected both (i think) in the ubuntu-server install | 06:49 |
| legend2440 | monestri: do you have another usb device you can try just to make sure its not the usb port or some other hardware problem? | 06:50 |
| macd | n00b, I dont know why noone pointed you at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 06:50 |
| n00b | I have a home/ftp folder with welcome.msg in it. Do i have ftp?? | 06:50 |
| zChris | macd: setting up samba just to access one folder is alot of work compared to scp :) | 06:51 |
| macd | n00b, I know why, its b/c you keep asking random questions, stick with samba, and go with that | 06:51 |

| covidiu | Hi. How do I change the default runlevel in Hardy? I tried creating an /etc/inittab with the following content: "id:3:initdefault", rebooted, but I'm still in runlevel 2 (the runlevel commands says "N 2"). | 08:26 |
| bazhang | drivetrax, please head to #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat thanks | 08:26 |

| guiest | how do I make fluxbox start when I login in | 08:30 |
| bsh | hello | 08:30 |
| tenX | bazhang: that _is_ on topic! | 08:30 |
| LimCore | tenX: no | 08:30 |
| LimCore | Bodsda: it is big, and true, sadly | 08:30 |
| LimCore | Bodsda: http://pastebin.ca/1018778 | 08:31 |
| LimCore | draft for bug report | 08:31 |
| Bodsda | LimCore, im not to savy with ssh so tenX is your friend for now | 08:31 |
| mohamed_ | covidiu: this tool maybe help try to install it sysv-rc-conf | 08:32 |
| guiest | I don't have the .xinitrc file ... should I create it | 08:32 |
| tenX | guiest: yes | 08:32 |
| tenX | guiest: put /path/to/startfluxbox into it | 08:32 |
| Saint`Dia` | mohamed_: I got it, I had to focus it in the main sound dialog. | 08:32 |
| tenX | guiest: you have to login with that user launching everything via startx then | 08:33 |
| GibbaTheHutt | LimCore, thats not really a bug report | 08:33 |
| GibbaTheHutt | when u install the update, it warns you already to recreate any keys created on a deb based machine | 08:33 |
| covidiu | mohamed_: I know the tool. It's not what I need. You can only use it to determine what to run on each runlevel. You can't change the default runlevel with it. | 08:33 |
| charlie | getting java 5.0 errors when installing updates on 8.04, have java 6.0, do i need to delete java 5.0? | 08:33 |
| phishie | ok after reading the patch command istill have no idea how to patch a .diff file lol | 08:33 |
| mohamed_ | Saint`Dia`: good that it work | 08:34 |
| LimCore | GibbaTheHutt: still users do not do it. why its not a bug report? | 08:34 |
| phishie | anyone can give me a lil more clue about it? | 08:34 |
| Bodsda | covidiu, not meaning to be rude but google really is your friend | 08:34 |
| tenX | GibbaTheHutt: so the report is about what? instructions for the update? | 08:34 |
| covidiu | Bodsda: already tried that. | 08:34 |
| GibbaTheHutt | you cant raise a bug report for something which people have been told to do and don't | 08:34 |
| ikonia | phishie: patch -Np1 <diff.file assuming it's position 1 | 08:34 |
| Bodsda | LimCore, its not a bug report because they know of the bug -- its more of a warning | 08:34 |
| ikonia | covidiu: what are you looking for | 08:35 |
| phishie | ikonia, thanks, will try that now | 08:35 |
| LimCore | Bodsda: users are not warned eniough about the full consequences of the bug, and what actions are mendatory to fix it | 08:35 |
| Bodsda | covidiu, i very much doubt that or you dont know how to use google | 08:35 |
| tenX | what bug is it?? | 08:35 |
| CppD | again, i need help with the noapic booting...it hangs when i boot it that way. | 08:35 |
| ikonia | LimCore: may want to discussion this in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:35 |
| tenX | ikonia: if thats not straightly on topic i dont know.. | 08:35 |
| Bodsda | LimCore, then make them aware -- put a warning on the forumsor something a bug report wont help users find out | 08:35 |
| LimCore | ikonia: #ubuntu-bugs if at all | 08:35 |
| ikonia | tenX: discussing a users awareness of bugs | 08:36 |
| ikonia | LimCore: maybe | 08:36 |
| tenX | ikonia: so its just about users awareness? not about the actual fix? | 08:36 |
| covidiu | Bodsda: care to show off your google skills? The thing is, I already tried creating an /etc/inittab and it didn't work on Hardy. It used to work on previous Ubuntu releases. And that's the only thing you'll find with Google. | 08:36 |
| ikonia | tenX: yes, hence why I said you may want to look at ubuntu-offtopic to progress the discussion | 08:36 |
| tenX | ikonia: puh, thx | 08:37 |
| ikonia | covidiu: upstart.ubuntu.com | 08:37 |
| ikonia | tenX: puh ? | 08:37 |
| Bodsda | covidiu, i got loadsa hits with "howto change default run level ubuntu" and if its something changed in this release why not ask in #ubuntu-devs | 08:37 |
| GibbaTheHutt | Bodsda, what are you trying to achieve ? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Bodsda: it's been a change scince 6.10 with upstart | 08:37 |
| GibbaTheHutt | sorry covidiu | 08:38 |
| Bodsda | GibbaTheHutt, not me covidiu -- change default run level | 08:38 |
| tenX | ikonia: in my mind i was recreating certs and host keys on severeal systems another time | 08:38 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, see my post to GibbaTheHutt ;~) | 08:38 |
| ikonia | tenX: yup, thats totally support, but the ongoing dicussion about "how to alert users" wasn't | 08:38 |
| tenX | ikonia: totally support? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | tenX: as in relevant to this channel | 08:39 |
| Bodsda | tenX, it is support | 08:39 |
| bazhang | please continue elsewhere tenX thanks | 08:39 |
| charlie | getting java 5.0 errors when installing updates on 8.04, have java 6.0, do i need to delete java 5.0? | 08:39 |
| tenX | to make that CLEAR - that bug doesnt refer to implementation but to user information | 08:39 |
| LimCore | tenX: I think this chan is only for support, and discussion on development of ubuntu is on for example #ubuntu-bugs or ubuntu brainstorm www | 08:39 |
| tenX | sorry guys | 08:40 |
| guiest | so then do I reboot or just log back in? | 08:40 |
| GibbaTheHutt | covidiu, still not sure why u want to change the default runlevel, what you are trying to achieve as there may be a better alternative | 08:40 |
| tenX | it just bothers me so much :/ | 08:40 |
| tenX | i'll move | 08:40 |
| LimCore | tenX: Im discussing it a bit in #ubuntu-bugs and will report to proper place on www so that devels may do that :) | 08:40 |
| covidiu | GibbaTheHutt: I want to move X to runlevel 3 (and make it default) and leave 2 as an X-less multiuser console. | 08:40 |
| tenX | LimCore: thx for your information :) | 08:41 |
| Bodsda | covidiu, editing run levels is different from changing the default and probably quite difficult | 08:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not to mention, runlevels don't mean a whole lot in ubuntu | 08:41 |
| Bodsda | Daisuke_Ido, not to ubuntu but to the kernel | 08:42 |
| Frogzoo | just upgraded to heron - nice speed bump, and no problems - very nice! | 08:42 |
| covidiu | Bodsda: once I make 3 the default, it's just a matter of removing gdm from 2. So it's not all that difficult. | 08:42 |
| Bodsda | covidiu, why would you want to change them? | 08:42 |
| guiest | So then I log back in to use fluxbox | 08:43 |
| ikonia | covidiu: look at /etc/event.d/rc-default | 08:43 |
| ikonia | covidiu: you'll see it wants to see the inittab, and if none is found or usable it will default to 2 | 08:44 |
| covidiu | Ok, I'll have a look. | 08:44 |
| ikonia | covidiu: I picked that up from about 2 minutes reading tha man page and say 2 minutes reading the URL I posted you | 08:44 |
| mattster | does anyone know how to go about getting audio working in hardy server? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | mattster: what do you want to do | 08:45 |
| dystopianray | does anyone have half life 2 or portal working in wine with hardy? | 08:45 |
| covidiu | ikonia: Yeah, I'm sure you did. So what is this channel for then? "Stay on topic" and "google is your friend"? I thought the Ubuntu community was supposed to be helpful. | 08:45 |
| mattster | ikonia: use my headphones | 08:46 |

| mohamed_ | ofcourse Daisuke_Ido | 08:48 |
| ikonia | mattster: so what does alsamixer show as the status of your audio devices | 08:48 |
| niko_ | i just want to say that im new using ubuntu linux and im very very happy with it..the only problem i have until now is my wireless support on my notebook | 08:48 |

| ikonia | babolat: I guess power down and try again then if your not confident going under the hood of the installer | 08:59 |
| ikonia | babolat: is this a server install by any chance ? | 08:59 |
| babolat | ikonia: it's a server ikonia | 08:59 |

| wols_ | it creates a kernel .deb | 09:47 |
| dj_hamsta | umm i think i made a mistake, i entered "apt-get install gedit" and it did a whole bunch of things, what did i just do ? | 09:47 |
| wols_ | apt-cache show kernel-package | 09:47 |
| alex_ | smokeyD: what should i look for in that? | 09:47 |
| wols_ | dj_hamsta: you installed gedit and all its needed dependencies | 09:47 |
| SmokeyD | the last entry | 09:47 |
| BuRn_sLuG | wols_: Yea but I can do that anyway through "make-kpkg --initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image" | 09:47 |
| wols_ | SmokeyD: there won't be any about the crash | 09:47 |
| adred | mohamed_ : yup. but i dont how to acces my linux folders from guest OS. i needs some configuration but i dont know how... | 09:48 |
| wols_ | if the machine has crashed how would it write a log entry about it? | 09:48 |
| SmokeyD | wols_: ok, hmm, of course, after you reboot old stuff is gone I guess | 09:48 |
| wols_ | adred: either guest extensions/additions or via network shares like samba | 09:48 |
| alex_ | everything freezes as it is | 09:48 |
| wols_ | SmokeyD: no was never there | 09:48 |
| SmokeyD | ok? | 09:48 |
| wols_ | and the old stuff still exists since it has been written to disk | 09:48 |

| babolat | why is ubottu not catching launchpad links' info anymore? | 09:51 |
| stdin | !recover | avi_me | 09:51 |
| ubottu | avi_me: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 09:51 |
| wols_ | babolat: I told you you have to make it executable | 09:52 |
| babolat | wols_: i did | 09:52 |
| avi_me | stdin, thanks | 09:52 |
| stdin | babolat: it never did answers.l.n links | 09:52 |
| wols_ | babolat: then you simply start it "file.bin" | 09:52 |
| wols_ | how did you set it executable? | 09:52 |
| alex_ | even when it freezes, ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing | 09:52 |
| wols_ | alex_: your CPU is frozen, it won't do anything anymore until you reboot | 09:53 |

| alexandremrj | hello everyone | 09:54 |
| babolat | wols_: +x ? | 09:54 |
| wols_ | alex_: try different kernel parameters, check temperatures of hardware, try another OS (Live CD) and stress test it | 09:54 |
| wols_ | babolat: yes | 09:54 |

| degrit | a google search for this particular card reader unveils nothing, apart from the fact it sports a badge saying "designed for win xp/vista" | 09:54 |
| dabbill | wols_, the system type for the disk is udf .. | 09:54 |
| wols_ | dabbill: that's the proper one for DVD | 09:55 |
| degrit | but hey, everything's got a sticker like that on the box | 09:55 |
| wols_ | babolat: "-rwxr-xr-x 12 klingens klingens 448 2007-12-28 20:23 file.bin" | 09:55 |
| wols_ | babolat: see the x there? | 09:55 |
| alex_ | wols_ sorry i don't really understand, how do i try different kernel parameters, i know the hardware itsself is ok from running other versions of ubuntu and running windows | 09:55 |

| SmokeyD | avi_me: I used some tool the other day but I forgot which. I will look it up | 09:56 |
| wols_ | degrit: to check the device. also check your kernel.logs (dmesg) | 09:56 |
| SmokeyD | in the mean time: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 09:56 |
| wols_ | dj_hamsta: depends how proftpd does its auth. by default: system accounts | 09:57 |
| avi_me | SmokeyD, I saw this link but it looks very complicated... | 09:57 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: it might be indeed | 09:57 |
| yit41 | i installed ubuntu via wubi. how do i put my ubuntu on a real partition? | 09:57 |
| wols_ | yit41: reinstall | 09:57 |
| dabbill | wols_, the dvd wont play in a DVD player or on windows, but linux reads it just fine. Any other ideas what might be going on. Just a few days ago it was burning them just fine. | 09:58 |
| degrit | wols_: everything looks quite relevant, albeit I don't know what it all means :) | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: but I had an easier tool which I am search for now | 09:58 |
| avi_me | SmokeyD, did you try foremost ? | 09:58 |
| avi_me | SmokeyD, k thks | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | that was it | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | :) | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | foremost | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | :) | 09:58 |
| FloodBot2 | SmokeyD: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | that work perfectly | 09:58 |
| yit41 | wols_: other than that? is there any way that i could just keep everything? | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | the only thing was that it doesn't restore filenames and stuff | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | but it did restore a lot | 09:58 |
| alex_ | i'm back, in crashed just then, sometimes when it crashes the screen isn't frozen as it was, but goes completely white | 09:59 |
| SmokeyD | I accidentally formatted a whole ext3 partition (quick format so only partition entry was removed in the partition table) | 09:59 |
| SmokeyD | it recovered many GB of data | 09:59 |
| wols_ | yit41: make a backup and restore it again | 09:59 |
| wols_ | SmokeyD: since ext3 zeroes inodes, you can't undelete | 10:00 |
| babolat | wols_: dragging the bin and dropping the darn thing into a terminal WORKED | 10:00 |
| yit41 | wols_: hmmm... fair enough. how can i improve my ubuntu's boot time/startup time? | 10:00 |
| SmokeyD | wols_: ok, that is with the rm command. I guess it worked for me since I just formatted the drive | 10:01 |
| clusty | yit41, first run the kernel in profiling mode once | 10:01 |
| clusty | yit41, did? | 10:01 |
| SmokeyD | only the partition table was b0rked, not the actual data | 10:01 |
| yit41 | clusty: err.. i dont know what is profiling mode | 10:01 |
| yit41 | and kernel.. | 10:01 |
| wols_ | yit41: make it load less crap when booting :) | 10:01 |
| yit41 | how do i make that? | 10:02 |
| douye | What ip should i use in the virtual box if i want to connect to my ftp server running on the same machine ? | 10:02 |
| clusty | yit41, when grub is booting press "e" to edit the boot line | 10:02 |
| wols_ | douye: depends how you did the networking | 10:02 |
| clusty | yit41, where you see some stuff like splash add "profile" (without "") | 10:03 |
| douye | wols_: how ya mean? what network card or.. ? | 10:03 |
| avi_me | so in my case it wouldnt work , since it was rm -rf | 10:03 |
| wols_ | there are several ways to do networking with VMs | 10:03 |
| clusty | yit41, then press b to really boot. this will grind disk and figure out what files are being loaded and they get precached | 10:03 |
| wols_ | NAT, bridged, etc | 10:03 |
| clusty | yit41, once you reach the login screen reboot | 10:04 |
| clusty | and boot normally | 10:04 |
| douye | wols_: ah NAT i thought | 10:04 |
| yit41 | clusty: that seems very complicated | 10:04 |
| clusty | yit41, dud you are dealing with linux | 10:04 |
| clusty | yit41, its a g33k OS | 10:04 |
| wols_ | douye: nat gets its IP via dhcp iirc | 10:04 |
| clusty | yit41, you can't make it faster without know what you are doing | 10:04 |
| wols_ | clusty: it'S the same for windosw or any OS | 10:05 |
| dabbill | wols_, Brasero for some reason wont read it as well, when tryin to make a ISO of the burned copy it says Status: the medium is not writable for the source to copy. | 10:05 |
| clusty | yit41, bear with it, learn the ropes and then fiddle with it | 10:05 |
| douye | wols_: so its not a static ip ? | 10:05 |
| yit41 | clusty: lol guess i'm not geek enough. is there anyway like linux version of msconfig or something? | 10:05 |
| wols_ | douye: usually not with NAT | 10:05 |
| clusty | yit41, you get lots of that stuff in gnome | 10:05 |
| douye | wols_: atm im just using my ip ubuntu gets from the network to connect.. but that means i cant do it locally | 10:06 |
| SmokeyD | wols_: if I understand http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html correctly, you can undelete files on ext3, you just can't recover the filenames, file structure and such, but the actual data can still be recovered with grep if the blocks are not overwritten in the mean time | 10:06 |
| adughep | how can i remove a pacakge without dependecy check ? | 10:06 |
| clusty | yit41, funny_circle->system->administration | 10:06 |
| SmokeyD | and that is what foremost does as far as I know | 10:06 |
| clusty | yit41, just make sure you aint borking everything. google around to see what does each thing do | 10:06 |
| yit41 | ok | 10:07 |
| SmokeyD | it scans all the blocks for specific patterns which correspond to know file types. | 10:07 |
| douye | wols_: so i should use a other networking method ? (mostlikely bridge ?) then it will have a static ip i can use to locally connect to it ? | 10:07 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: I would indeed try foremost and http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 10:08 |
| deltaslaya | gparted | 10:08 |
| d[X_X]b | who farted? | 10:08 |
| d[X_X]b | haha | 10:08 |
| wols_ | douye: you can already set a static IP probably, but why? | 10:08 |
| degrit | wols_ : sorry to bother but could you look if you can make anything of this ? http://pastebin.org/36072 | 10:09 |
| wols_ | just make it in the same subnet as the current host and guest ips | 10:09 |
| adughep | how can i remove a package without dependency check ? | 10:09 |
| avi_me | ok , thanks , i am just backing up the partition now before files are overwritten... | 10:09 |
| wols_ | degrit: not really. not all card readers always work :( | 10:10 |
| douye | wols_: that works aswell i guess, aslong as i can acces my ftp locally :) | 10:10 |
| Quintin | HOw come dpkg-configure xserver-xorg doesnt have resolution options?? | 10:10 |
| wols_ | adughep: you can use dpkg, but it's not good to do so. cause from then on every apt based program you will run will complain and not work anymore | 10:10 |
| wols_ | Quintin: try -plow | 10:10 |
| douye | wols_: but how can i check then what ip my ubuntu uses locally with the virtualbox ? | 10:10 |
| Quintin | wols_: -plow? :S | 10:11 |
| wols_ | douye: ifconfig | 10:11 |
| wols_ | Quintin: it's a dpkg-reconfigure option, read the manpage | 10:11 |
| douye | wols_: is it then the vent0 addapter ? | 10:11 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: good plan. I made an image of the harddrive with dd and did all the recovery on that image. I left the original harddrive alone in case I messed things up (any more than I already had) | 10:11 |
| adughep | wols_, yes i want with dpkg and i know what i am doing :) ..is just removing open-ssh client removes ubuntu-desktop too | 10:11 |
| wols_ | douye: probably. never ran vbox under a linux host | 10:11 |
| d[X_X]b | Quintin i think after 7.04 it changed...whatever u add in xorg doesnt acctually affect xserver | 10:11 |
| wols_ | adughep: irrelevant. ubuntu-desktop is a meta package | 10:11 |
| adughep | and i am better off with this bad dependenci | 10:11 |
| wols_ | and ssh is always good | 10:12 |
| Quintin | so is 804 like absolute complete and total utter CRAP? | 10:12 |
| bbm | hey guys | 10:12 |
| wols_ | adughep: you will have to remove ubuntu-desktop if you want it or not | 10:12 |
| halloman | http://www.dasdeutschlandspiel.de/index.php?page=beg.php&id=4410 | 10:12 |
| wols_ | !ops please remove halloman | 10:12 |
| deltaslaya | Hey I don't know if this is the right place to ask but: | 10:12 |
| ubottu | wols_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:12 |
| Quintin | cause I just spent about 3 hours installing it on a latitude C600 , and nothing works | 10:12 |
| douye | wols_: ah cool it works, thx :) | 10:13 |
| Quintin | my window decorations have no close, max, minimize | 10:13 |
| d[X_X]b | yea same here | 10:13 |
| adughep | wols_, i know i always like to remove the package as i want ... i prefer to fix broken dependencies then to remove something i dont want to | 10:13 |
| adughep | is not always ubuntu-desktop | 10:13 |
| d[X_X]b | only 7.04 and less works | 10:13 |
| adughep | i just forgot the dpkg --nodeps option | 10:13 |
| deltaslaya | I downloaded GParted Live from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and burned it to a disc. Then when I booted off it I couldn't access GParted from whatever booted up. | 10:14 |
| wols_ | deltaslaya: maybe ask gparted people about their software, not us? | 10:14 |
| adughep | wols_, strange in many articles on debian packages none says about removing it with no dependency check | 10:14 |
| diazepam | anyone using webmin here with Hardy? | 10:15 |
| wols_ | adughep: cause it's a quite bad thing to do | 10:15 |
| wols_ | !webmin | 10:15 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 10:15 |
| deltaslaya | Yea I know but there is noone in the GParted channel, thought someone here might know how to use it. | 10:15 |
| Quintin | wols_: that didn't give me option to fix resolution | 10:15 |
| d[X_X]b | <deltaslaya> gparted comes in live cd ubuntu | 10:15 |
| adughep | wols_, eh neah i dont think so ..if i know exactly what package can do | 10:15 |
| diazepam | wols - thanks | 10:15 |
| diazepam | !ebox | 10:15 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 10:15 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: I don't know if it is usefull in your case but you could also look at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 10:15 |
| Quintin | omg | 10:16 |
| deltaslaya | So I can boot off the Live CD and get GParted? How do I do that? | 10:16 |
| Quintin | ships with a beta web browser | 10:16 |
| Quintin | it gets better and better | 10:16 |
| d[X_X]b | quintin im telling you u cant....it want you to use aticonfig or some crap of that nature.. xorg conf wont do sheat | 10:16 |
| adughep | wols_, so what was it dpkg -P --no-deps or ? | 10:16 |
| hydra__ | someone had problems with installation of mysql in ubuntu 8.04? | 10:16 |
| wols_ | adughep: that or some --force option | 10:16 |
| hydra__ | i can't start mysql using /etc/init.d/mysql start | 10:17 |
| Quintin | there is a root user now?! | 10:17 |
| wols_ | hydra__: what do logs say? | 10:17 |
| wols_ | !root | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:17 |
| hydra__ | if I try manually, I get The file /usr/sbin/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable | 10:17 |
| wols_ | hydra__: dpkg -l |grep mysql |grep server | 10:17 |
| ghindo | !gparted | deltaslaya | 10:18 |
| ubottu | deltaslaya: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 10:18 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: one mor tip (I just found the bookmarks I made last time): http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-recovery/ | 10:18 |
| hydra__ | mysql-server 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 | 10:18 |
| Quintin | wols_: why does root have a homedir then? | 10:18 |
| hydra__ | mysql-server-5.0 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 | 10:18 |
| hydra__ | installed. | 10:18 |
| deltaslaya | Oh is the tuxfamily version different to the one on sourceforge? | 10:18 |
| Slap_Stick | hey, for some reason on my fresh install gnome is acting odd when i open any application it takes over the main top window i.e. the application / system etc menu at the top changes to the file, edit etc window of the application i haev to close the application as i can't actually move it or anything even though it's not fully expanded | 10:18 |
| wols_ | Quintin: cause programs who run under root maybe need one? | 10:18 |
| ghindo | deltaslaya: It shouldn't be, why? | 10:19 |
| deltaslaya | Well I can't do anything on the one I got from sourceforge | 10:19 |
| avi_me | SmokeyD, thanks - that last one looks interesting... | 10:19 |
| Quintin | so someone please tell me if 804 release is supposed to even work | 10:19 |
| ghindo | deltaslaya: Does the LiveCD not work? | 10:19 |
| ghindo | Quintin: 8.04 has worked great for me...why? | 10:19 |
| deltaslaya | from sourceforge, not well for me | 10:20 |
| hydra__ | wols_: ? | 10:20 |
| Quintin | ghindo: it's useless so far for me. all kinds of bugs | 10:20 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: yeah it does but I don't know how good it is. I am a little sceptic since it claims to recover all your files while the point of wols_ that the inodes are deleted in ext3 makes me doubt that it can actually recover files deleted with rm | 10:20 |
| deltaslaya | It is version 0.3.6-7, the one I downloaded and the linked one on tuxfamily are 0.3.4-10 | 10:20 |
| wols_ | hydra__: what you gave is not the exact output | 10:20 |
| dman | when i use my lcd via DVI it seems to keep it at 640x480 for some reason | 10:21 |
| dman | and scale the res within it | 10:21 |
| ghindo | deltaslaya: Maybe it was a bad burn? | 10:21 |
| deltaslaya | No it happened twice. | 10:21 |
| deltaslaya | It boots into X or something and then says no monitor is found? | 10:21 |
| sky_ | ? | 10:22 |
| deltaslaya | It's not actually called LiveCD when you download it, its just Live. | 10:22 |
| Quintin | Can anyone suggest an ultra small linux distro that can play commercial DVDs? | 10:22 |
| deltaslaya | But the one on the other site looks more promising. | 10:22 |
| mip_ | How to get ip from particular DHCP server? We have more than one DHCP servers running in our network. | 10:22 |
| wols_ | deltaslaya: it doesn't matter. it'S not ubuntu so OT here | 10:22 |
| wols_ | mip_: dhclient might have an option for it | 10:22 |
| deltaslaya | I'm using it for Ubuntu partitions? | 10:23 |
| wols_ | mip_: but you are not supposed to have more than one unless the servers work together | 10:23 |
| avi_me | SmokeyD, ok , i'm done backing up , will try foremost and then revert to harder possibilities.. | 10:23 |
| Guillaum3 | greets gents. i have two servers which dont have ftp on them. i need to copy a folder via SCP from one to the other. the folder unfortunately has symbolik links which recersively reference itself. | 10:23 |
| wols_ | deltaslaya: but your problem is with a gparted live cd, NOT ubuntu | 10:23 |
| SmokeyD | avi_me: good luck | 10:23 |
| ghindo | deltaslaya: You might not have to use the liveCD, then...have you tried using one within Ubuntu? | 10:23 |
| Guillaum3 | has any1 got a one-liner for me to do this? | 10:23 |
| ghindo | Quintin: Pretty much any linux distro can play commercial DVDs... | 10:24 |
| deltaslaya | Yes, the GParted package within Ubuntu doesn't let me change any existing, or mounted partitions. | 10:24 |
| ghindo | deltaslaya: Okay, gotcha | 10:24 |
| deltaslaya | The one suggested by the ubuntu bot has a file called gparted in the iso the last one didn't? | 10:24 |
| cpk1 | mip_: I think that is something that should probably be taken care of serverside... you could have them serving on different ports and then tell dhclient to use whichever port the server you want is using... | 10:25 |

| visf | wols & smokeyD: thanks | 10:29 |
| SmokeyD | penegaul: setup a webserver (Apache) | 10:30 |
| wols_ | my experience is it always takes the ubuntu folks a bit to fix various (small) problems when a new release comes out | 10:30 |
| wols_ | usually takes a month or two | 10:30 |
| hydra__ | wols_: man, are you ok? i already told you the error I was getting. | 10:30 |

| Sazpaimon | I guess i'll try kubuntu and see if I have any luck with that | 11:00 |

| jberg- | so now when i do apt-get i get a lot of transfer errors because of incorrect hash sums and stuff | 11:00 |
| abhi | and I enter the path correctly | 11:00 |
| jberg- | do i need kernel 2.6.25? | 11:00 |
| abhi | i get this error when mounting : mount_point cannot contain the following: G_DIR seperator (/) | 11:01 |
| abhi | when i try to mount using GUI | 11:01 |
| kuri0s | jberg- nop, you can add kernel modules by hand to any version. just compile | 11:01 |
| Slart | abhi: start gconf-editor in a terminal | 11:01 |
| Slart | abhi: go to system, storage, volumes | 11:02 |
| abhi | ok | 11:02 |
| jberg- | kuri0s, yes i know. but b43 apparently doesnt work with 2.6.24 because i get transfer erros | 11:02 |
| jberg- | errors | 11:02 |
| Gantz | i just installed ubuntu and can't get audio through spdif | 11:02 |
| jberg- | so i think i need 2.6.25 which is supposed to fix it | 11:02 |

| abhi | yea | 11:02 |
| jberg- | but is there an easy way to get 2.6.25? can i use a config file which was used to compile 2.6.24? | 11:03 |
| abhi | Slart: yea | 11:03 |
| peng_ | when I add zg it tell me"e764 option 'spellfile' is not set" | 11:03 |
| Slart | abhi: if you click on those you see they key "mountpoint" on the right hand side, right? | 11:03 |
| peng_ | in vim | 11:03 |
| abhi | Slart: correct | 11:03 |
| cpk1 | Gantz: use alsamixer and make sure pcm is turned up | 11:03 |
| abhi | Slart: key documentation gives an error | 11:03 |
| Slart | abhi: I'm betting at least one of those keys /mountpoint | 11:03 |
| Slart | abhi: I'm betting at least one of those keys (mountpoint) contain a / or something else | 11:03 |
| kuri0s | jberg-: weird, I normally have problems whith newer kernels because they come with newer features which driver developers don't use to expect... | 11:04 |
| Slart | abhi: might be called /media/mydisk or something like that.. right? | 11:04 |
| abhi | Slart: ok then how do i specify the mount point if not with /s? | 11:04 |
| cpk1 | Gantz: also if alsamixer has an iec958 device(s) play around with those | 11:04 |
| abhi | Slart: yea correct | 11:04 |

| Slart | abhi: the gnome volume automounter doesn't want the whole path.. just the stuff after /media/ | 11:04 |
| TB` | When is 8.04 being released? | 11:04 |
| abhi | Slart: oh :) and what if i want to mount it else where? | 11:04 |
| Slart | abhi: so if the mountpoint is "bigdisk" it will be mounted in "/media/bigdisk" | 11:05 |
| Whitt | TB`, its out | 11:05 |
| Slart | abhi: you can't.. afaik | 11:05 |
| Gantz | cpk1: not entirely sure how to do any of that tbqh | 11:05 |
| abhi | Slart: then i'll have to change /etc/fstab correct? :) | 11:05 |

| Slart | TB`: blue screen error? in ubuntu? neat.. never seen that | 11:09 |
| DJones | bouma: I've not seen anything like that, I always used this, which gave the ext2 partition of drive letter | 11:09 |

| ArthurArchnix | Well, I've downgraded to gutsy and I'm much happier. The only thing I miss is openoffice 2.4 On the forums it doesn't seem like people have much happiness trying to get it working.

| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 11:10 |
| cpk1 | judgen: I am fairly certain the kernel hardy uses has madwifi built in | 11:10 |

| tenX | Slart: there was a tiny tool for that.. accessing ext fs | 11:12 |

| bouma | Slart, ok is sounds like there is, i am just looking for a single exe standalone progy that does 2gig files, i used to have one, and im still regoogling for it | 11:13 |
| cpk1 | judgen: ath5k is supposed to be in 2.6, BUT it might be only in the wireless GIT so I cant be 100% sure that the hardy kernel has it | 11:13 |
| DJones | Slart: that was the link I suggested to bouma, I've not seen anything that was just an exe to access the partition | 11:14 |
| bouma | Slart, ah ok, i found it again, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs | 11:14 |
| Slart | DJones, bouma: I used something when I dualbooted.. some kind of file explorer that you could use to access your ext2 driver from XP.... can't remember the name.. shareware or something | 11:14 |
| cpk1 | Gantz: well, it is too late for me to try to trouble shoot sound, but I remember getting my spdif to work I had to play with the iec958 devices and pcm volume | 11:15 |
| bouma | DJones, i like this, i found it again, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs | 11:15 |

| Ollie | Slart: Do I need to restart the pc after installing livdvdcss2? It's installed, but totem is still giving the same error | 11:16 |
| jberg- | so i dont need to configure anything, just download, load config and compile | 11:16 |
| DJones | bouma: I hadn't seen/heard of that, looks useful | 11:16 |
| cpk1 | Gantz: alsamixer should show all your sound devices, also whatever gnome uses for controlling sound (I dont use gnome) probably has an advanced option or something to change sound settings | 11:16 |
| Slart | Ollie: I'm not sure.. don't think so | 11:17 |

| Lr5 | What's the command to upgrade just one package (+ what it needs)? | 11:19 |
| Lr5 | apt-get upgrade seems to try to upgrade every package | 11:20 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: just sudo apt-get install <packagename> | 11:20 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: that should upgrade that single package | 11:20 |
| mysticdarkhack | <Slart>what I'm trying to do is exit when I was viewing man eject where is show some command back to termial | 11:20 |
| Lr5 | m0u5e: ok, thanks | 11:20 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: or if you just go into synaptic you can manually do it | 11:20 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: why not just upgrade all the packages? is there a bug / break? | 11:20 |
| Slart | mysticdarkhack: ah.. just 'q' then | 11:20 |
| kuri0s | Lr5: I suggest installing and using aptitude instead of apt-get | 11:21 |
| Slart | Lr5: updating just one package rarely works.. apt is meant to update everything.. | 11:21 |
| Slart | Lr5: why don't you want to run a regular update? | 11:21 |
| mysticdarkhack | <Slart>thx, still learning here and been on linux for two years now | 11:22 |
| judgen | cpk1: ive burnt it now, hope it works | 11:22 |
| Slart | mysticdarkhack: mm.. I learn new stuff every day.. been using linux for.. 4 years or so | 11:22 |
| Lr5 | Slart: the computer is quite old and has not enough hard disk space for all | 11:22 |
| Slart | Lr5: ouch... remove some stuff you don't need? openoffice or other big packages.. ? | 11:23 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: it should automatically overwrite the old packages | 11:23 |
| kuri0s | Slart: Lr5: with aptitude you can select and install packages individually. It also makes a good dependecies check | 11:23 |
| m0u5e | lr5: type sudo apt-get --purge clean to clean old packages | 11:23 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: also, go into package settings and set it to auto delete old packages that have been downloaded | 11:23 |
| mysticdarkhack | <Slart>I probably catch up and there other thing I'm learn like starting to compile kernel | 11:23 |
| Lr5 | Uninstalling openoffice sounds like a good idea | 11:23 |
| m0u5e | Lr5: how much space do you have? N:X | 11:24 |
| dan | where can i find details about configureing a kernel? | 11:24 |

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 11:25 |
| Gantz | can anyone else assist me with getting my spdif audio working? | 11:25 |
| mysticdarkhack | <Slart>I know right, and I like linuxcommand.org if that right | 11:26 |
| kuri0s | Slart: I like the dependencies checking, package filtering and its efficient UI | 11:26 |
| vallhalla81 | !vm | 11:26 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 11:26 |
| vallhalla81 | !VMWare | 11:26 |
| vallhalla81 | !vmware | 11:27 |
| ubottu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 11:27 |
| mysticdarkhack | virtualbox is better and free | 11:27 |
| kuri0s | mysticdarkhack: why is virtualbox better? | 11:27 |
| tenX | vmware-server is the choice | 11:27 |
| vallhalla81 | mysticdarkhack: i dont seem to be able to get it to run on this kernal tho | 11:28 |
| mysticdarkhack | <kuri0s>it better support | 11:28 |
| vallhalla81 | tenX: can you get it to run on gutsy? | 11:28 |

| lool | Hi, from time to time I hit a key combo by accident which causes Compiz to move my mouse each time I switch windows with alt tab; does someone know which combo it is? | 11:28 |
| vallhalla81 | 2.6.24-17-generic | 11:29 |
| tenX | vallhalla81: you can but if i was to setup a new server i'd still stick to 7.10 | 11:29 |
| tenX | vallhalla81: it works but you have to fool around | 11:29 |
| tenX | and there are no packages yet | 11:29 |
| mysticdarkhack | what version of virtualbox are you using? | 11:29 |
| vallhalla81 | tenX: i gues i will just have to w8 | 11:29 |
| Gantz | audio issues using spdif | 11:30 |

| tenX | Quintin: yeah, 5 mins and 36 secs | 11:32 |
| vallhalla81 | mysticdarkhack: will do thank you | 11:32 |

| mysticdarkhack | before you install the new virtualbox, I recommand removing the old one first by using this command sudo apt-get --purge -f autoremove virtualbox | 11:33 |
| kuri0s | mysticdarkhack: what kind of virtual HW emulates? For example wich ethernet cards do you have inside a vmachine? | 11:33 |

| kuri0s | mysticdarkhack: don't have enought time to try all sw arround :) | 11:37 |
| jkp | but browsing around i still see the old host name: it seems that the server is advertising a _workstation._tcp service as well, but there is no service for this in the avahi config | 11:37 |
| jkp | does anyone know how i can disable this service adertisement? | 11:37 |
| mysticdarkhack | <kuri0s>lol i se | 11:37 |

| Holyhandgrenade | hey everyone, im setting up a home server. does anyone know if its possible to set "shared" files via http instead of smb .... if so what should i look for | 11:39 |
| dj_hamsta | browse to that folder | 11:39 |
| _moro_bana_ | alex_: with the same card as mine> | 11:39 |
| f1re | I'd need some assistance. I'd have to use Audacity, and some effects are missing. Particulary the "Change pitch" effect also. I'd found out, that the problem is related to a configuration script problem. It doesn't recognize the libsndfile package as installed, so it disables the effects. I could install from CVS or source, but I don't want to break out from apt. | 11:40 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: which card you have ? | 11:40 |
| alex_ | _moro_bana_ no, sorry different card | 11:40 |

| newb | hi i am trying to install hadoop on an edgy server. hadoop requires ssh access to itself. i generated a public/private key with a blank password to allow hadoop to access ssh without me having to intervene to enter the password. i tried it on my gutsy workstation but on my edgy server it's not happening. why? | 11:41 |
| f1re | there is 1.3.5 in CVS now, in the apt tree it's 1.3.4, but some guys say that 1.3.3 also works fine. The package it problems with is installed, but is's name is not the same. | 11:41 |
| Holyhandgrenade | hey everyone, im setting up a home server. does anyone know if its possible to set "shared" files via http instead of smb .... if so what should i look for (edit) the point would be to allow file transfers via wget .... | 11:41 |
| ikonia | Holyhandgrenade: apache will do it | 11:41 |
| f1re | Holyhandgrenade: That would be a one-direction file transfer. | 11:41 |

| ikonia | Ovispain: open synaptic and search for dc++ there is a linux client version | 11:44 |
| ikonia | newb: hadoop ? | 11:44 |
| epifanio_ | ikonia: how can i check it? | 11:44 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: TV standerd here different than yours, DVB is european standerd | 11:44 |

| newb | ikonia: yea hadoop | 11:44 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: if this i'm using VDR for it | 11:44 |
| f1re | Could someone tell me please which apt tree is the more up-to date? Stability doesn't matters for me. | 11:44 |
| ikonia | newb: I've no idea what hadoop is | 11:44 |
| Ovispain | ikonia: Thanks. I am going to try it right now. Be right back. | 11:44 |
| newb | ikonia: it's a DFS | 11:44 |
| f1re | (hardy) | 11:45 |
| ikonia | f1re: hardy is the most current | 11:45 |
| newb | ikonia: never mind what hadoop is | 11:45 |
| f1re | And there aren't branches? | 11:45 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: this card you have ?... http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/products_digitvtuner_hybridPCI.asp | 11:45 |
| f1re | I mean some tree, where | 11:45 |
| f1re | most recent (could not be tested) stuff sits. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | newb: ahh it's a clueter | 11:45 |
| newb | ikonia: but i want to know how can i prevent a shell script from requiring my intervention everytime to enter a SSH password? | 11:45 |
| ikonia | f1re: hardy is the current | 11:45 |
| ikonia | newb: use ssh keys | 11:45 |
| tenX | newb: ssh certs | 11:45 |
| newb | ikonia: ok | 11:45 |
| ikonia | tenX: it's keys not certs | 11:46 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: well im in russia, that has to be european, but under windows i get to choose the country , the software got preconfigurations | 11:46 |
| tenX | ikonia: how could i :/ | 11:46 |
| newb | tenX ikonia: ok so i did this ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" where i left the password blank so that i don't require to enter the password everytime | 11:46 |
| ikonia | tenX: how could you what ? | 11:46 |
| f1re | then again: How could I (even low level) get Audacity to recognize libsndfile az installed? I need those effects. | 11:46 |
| epifanio_ | ikonia: ldd libgcc_s.so.1 ? give me No such file or directory | 11:46 |
| ikonia | newb: you also need the "allownullpassword" option set in the sshd_config file | 11:46 |
| tenX | ikonia: fail like that | 11:46 |
| newb | ok | 11:46 |
| ikonia | tenX: it's a simple wording error | 11:47 |
| newb | ikonia ok | 11:47 |
| ikonia | epifanio_: nah, ldd the binary | 11:47 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: yes its the one | 11:47 |

| newb | ikonia: thx :) | 11:48 |
| jamiesss | hey | 11:48 |
| f1re | I tried to use apt-get source, but the configuration script cries for packages, THAT ARE INSTALLED. I think I need some pkg-tool tweak but I don't have the experimence... | 11:48 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: then i think you can use VDR | 11:48 |
| epifanio_ | ikonia: i get : ldd /path/to/binary > not a dynamic executable | 11:48 |
| f1re | -m | 11:48 |

| caitlin | does anyone happen to know what kernel 8.04 wants to boot on a via c3 processor? I'm struggling to find the info through google. The server install bombs on first reboot. | 12:01 |
| ikonia | spaceninja: they are different Os's | 12:01 |

| labinnsw | Good Evening All. I have a post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4933232#post4933232, re: Drive /dev/hdg does not contain audio files. Can anyone help | 12:02 |
| ikonia | caitlin: same as x86 - 2.6.24-16 is current | 12:02 |
| spaceninja | but I want the best os with the best gui apps for system configuration and package management | 12:02 |
| caitlin | ikonia: the standard kernel fails to load. it panics. | 12:02 |
| clemyeats | spaceninja: you'll miss encryption and key generation tools, wubi and a few other things. | 12:02 |
| ikonia | caitlin: why ? | 12:03 |
| ikonia | CatCheeto: what is the exact error | 12:03 |
| spaceninja | how much better is ubuntu compared with opensuse and fedora? | 12:03 |
| ikonia | uugh | 12:03 |
| ikonia | CatCheeto: sorry | 12:03 |
| ikonia | caitlin: what is the exact error | 12:03 |
| jatt | 100x times better | 12:03 |
| caitlin | says it can't run on my processor | 12:03 |
| jatt | or 1000 | 12:03 |
| ikonia | spaceninja: it's not better, it's different, try it | 12:03 |
| spaceninja | :) | 12:03 |
| simplexio | caitlin: sound like you try run 64bit on 32bit machine | 12:03 |
| ikonia | caitlin: what processor was it again please. | 12:03 |
| caitlin | I didn't have time to log wade, i'm in work atm.. usual retardo user :P | 12:03 |
| caitlin | via c3 | 12:03 |
| clemyeats | spaceninja: all distros are better than each others :) Depends on your needs. | 12:04 |
| ikonia | via c3 is 32bit x86 | 12:04 |
| caitlin | categorically a 386 version iso, verified | 12:04 |
| ikonia | caitlin: are you sure you have the x386 cd | 12:04 |
| spaceninja | my favorite is archlinux, but I need a point and click distro | 12:04 |
| caitlin | yes, i downloaded a new one, 'cause the other one i have is for my 64 bit machine | 12:04 |
| spaceninja | all I want to do is point and click | 12:05 |
| simplexio | if i recall right via c3 dosent work on i686 i think | 12:05 |
| kimmey2k3 | spaceninja: linux mint may be a good choise :) | 12:05 |
| emma | I've been helping people in here a few days now and suddenly my own Ubuntu is starting to go screwy :P | 12:05 |
| caitlin | it's a little odd, because the installer runs fine | 12:05 |
| ikonia | then fix it | 12:05 |
| spaceninja | im going to virtualize it | 12:05 |
| emma | I was just using mplayer and had sound. I closed the terminal it was running in, and now I have no audio. Any ideas? | 12:05 |
| ikonia | caitlin: ok, so the installer runs ok, but the installed system fails to boot ? | 12:05 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: its the second in the list i suppose looking at the inputs stated there | 12:05 |
| clemyeats | spaceninja: ubuntu, mint, pclinuxos, mepis, fedora.. they're all good choices really. Just get a virtual machine ready and try them all. | 12:06 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: i have audio, svideo, antenna, fm inputs | 12:06 |
| Myrtti | !mint | 12:06 |
| ubottu | The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 12:06 |

| spaceninja | yep thanks | 12:06 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: antenna for analog TV or digital ? | 12:07 |
| ikonia | labinnsw: typing in caps is more likley to get you ignored that get attention | 12:07 |
| clemyeats | actually #linuxmint isn't the support channel for mint. It's on irc.spotchat.org. | 12:07 |
| ikonia | labinnsw: also, you've posted on the forum, if no-one in here can help, wait for someone to respond to the forum post | 12:07 |
| no_one_noz1 | hi | 12:08 |
| designerman | I just installed ubuntu from an old live cd I have, version 4.01 - I need the root password so I can get root access. I have looked on the documentation but I think it may be out of date | 12:08 |
| designerman | passwd is not working | 12:08 |
| designerman | any help? | 12:08 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: is that german, antenna for analog, but the manual showed the same input for analog and digital | 12:08 |
| ikonia | designerman: ubuntu doesn't use a root password | 12:08 |
| rabspd | hello | 12:08 |
| rabspd | Hello everybody. | 12:08 |
| ikonia | !root > designerman check out the pm from ubottu | 12:08 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: yes is German and there is english version | 12:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | hmmm... can't find any bug reports. I wonder if the site it gets the album art from is just temporarily down | 12:09 |
| rabspd | Which is good IDE for Ubuntu? | 12:09 |
| labinnsw | ikonia: Your responses might not be pleasant or in the ubuntu spirit or philosophy, but it is the only ones I have received till now. | 12:09 |
| ikonia | rabspd: for what languages | 12:09 |
| wols_ | rabspd: depends what you want to do | 12:09 |
| jo4 | Hi, i set the resolution on the tv out to high, so my tv says out of range. The thing is that i managed to press keep settings. Can i manually edit what resolution the TV uses? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but no result | 12:09 |
| emma | Has anyone learned anything about audio suddenly ceasing to work in Hardy after closing mplayer? | 12:09 |
| rabspd | C/C++/PHP etc | 12:09 |
| ikonia | labinnsw: my responses are in the ubuntu spirit of politly telling you the answer | 12:09 |
| designerman | ikonia: ye mine does have a password as when I try nothing I get told I can't authenticate | 12:10 |
| ikonia | rabspd: eclipse seems to be the standard | 12:10 |
| rabspd | ikonia: for C/C++ | 12:10 |
| wols_ | rabspd: C/C++ and PHP are very differentIDEs | 12:10 |
| snowolf | emma: ctrl+alt+backspace :) | 12:10 |
| ikonia | designerman: the password is not "nothing" | 12:10 |
| no_one_noz1 | hey designerman >>>. | 12:10 |
| no_one_noz1 | are still here | 12:10 |
| wols_ | for php I'd say eclipse PDT | 12:10 |
| bazhang | snowolf, not helpful | 12:10 |
| designerman | ikonia: what is it then? | 12:10 |
| ikonia | designerman: there is no root password | 12:10 |
| wols_ | designerman: you use sudo, nothing else | 12:10 |
| rabspd | wols_> is it different from eclipse? | 12:10 |
| ikonia | designerman: did you read the pm ubottu sent you | 12:10 |
| designerman | ikonia: how do I log in as root, I type su and press enter | 12:10 |
| wols_ | ikonia: there is. there just is no root account you can log into :) | 12:10 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: oh i forgot , thats wikipedia, silly me,im setting up vdr , what is terrestial(dvb card type) | 12:10 |
| labinnsw | ikonia: Sorry, just realised I need to go look up the meaning of polite | 12:10 |
| zChris | !root | designerman | 12:11 |
| ubottu | designerman: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:11 |
| ikonia | designerman: no, did you read the pm ubottu sent you | 12:11 |
| wols_ | rabspd: yes. PDT is a eclipse plugin | 12:11 |
| ikonia | wols_: pardon ? | 12:11 |
| wols_ | ikonia: grep root /etc/shadow. there you see your root pw :P | 12:11 |
| Myrtti | wols_: ha ha. | 12:11 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: terrestial is DVB-T this is i think what you have | 12:11 |
| ikonia | wols_: I know there is a root password | 12:11 |
| zChris | wols_: thats not what i have read, i have read that there is a root account but no password | 12:11 |
| ikonia | zChris: it's a play on words | 12:12 |
| bazhang | !ot | 12:12 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 12:12 |
| ikonia | zChris: there is no "known" root password | 12:12 |
| * emma *smiles* | 12:12 | |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: i can also try satellite, my friend got a cable here | 12:12 |
| wols_ | root simply has no shell, that's all | 12:12 |

| jo_e | a while ago, switching virtual terminals stopped working for me. now when I type ctrl-[1..6] i just get a black screen. i tried googling it and found some stuff about removing vga=791 from my menu.lst but I don't have it anyway. can this be fixed? | 12:12 |
| wols_ | some like eclipse, some kdevelop, some rawhide, etc | 12:13 |
| wpk | rabspd: eclipse | 12:13 |
| ikonia | wols_: it certainly does have a shell (root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash) | 12:13 |
| ikonia | wols_: back at you for picking up on my wording ;) | 12:13 |
| Bodsda | ikonia, i thought i read the root password was ! as no password wouldnt be acceptable but ! is an unexceptable charcter or summit stupid like that | 12:13 |
| wols_ | ikonia: then why can't you log in as root? | 12:13 |
| ikonia | wols_: you don't know the root password | 12:13 |
| rabspd | wpk: does eclipse have WYSIWYG plugin for HTML? | 12:13 |
| zChris | wols_: you can if you change the root password | 12:13 |
| Bodsda | wols_, you can if you define the root password | 12:13 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: thanks a lot for the info, im getting to work now | 12:13 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: the steps is to be sure that driver already installed then install vdr and scann channels to have the correct channels.conf then you can try vdr but maybe this is the complex method , the simple way is to try it with kaffiene or vlc | 12:13 |
| zChris | Bodsda: :D | 12:13 |
| wols_ | ikonia: I should sleep more. mea culpa | 12:14 |
| Bodsda | lol | 12:14 |
| dimedo | hi there, why isn't my CAcert root CA available in firefox although i enabled it through the package ca-certificates? | 12:14 |

| alex_ | can anyone help me, when i enable 'big-desktop' mode in ati's catalyst program when it restarts it changes back to clone desktop every time i restart | 12:14 |
| jo4 | Is there a way of editing the files 'gnome-display-properties' uses manually? Or just change them in a terminal way? | 12:15 |
| ikonia | jo4: thats a bit of a tricky question | 12:15 |
| Bodsda | display would mean xorg | 12:15 |
| ikonia | jo4: xorg.conf controls the xserver info, gnome controls the desktop setup based on partly what xorg does and part use config, it's not really held in a config file for gnome | 12:15 |
| Bodsda | but im sure the app uses many other conf files aswell | 12:15 |
| dimedo | isn't firefox using the certificate storage of ubuntu? | 12:16 |
| jo4 | ikonia, not even the actual resolution? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | jo4: the resolution is set via xorg at boot time, gnome allows you to interact with it to configure it on the fly | 12:16 |
| gronne | I had issues with my network due to ufw all along... how can I use ufw and allow a certain ip to run? | 12:17 |
| ikonia | jo4: gnome actually doesn't control the resolution | 12:17 |
| ikonia | jo4: I appricaite I'm explaining it, in on the most straight forward way | 12:17 |
| ikonia | gronne: ufw ? | 12:17 |
| gronne | uncomplicated firewall | 12:18 |
| binarymutant | how do I get devilspie to open a window in the lower right hand corner? it seems to only move them to the upper left | 12:18 |
| ikonia | gronne: ufw is just a front end to iptables | 12:18 |
| jo4 | ikonia, yeah, your doing a good job ;D but each user has a resolution setting, right? cause when i log into my own user at this laptop i get the right resolution at the right screen | 12:18 |
| ikonia | gronne: you just need to make accept rules for the firewall, thats it | 12:18 |
| alex_ | can anyone help me, when i enable 'big-desktop' mode in ati's catalyst program when it restarts it changes back to clone desktop every time i restart | 12:18 |
| ikonia | jo4: the resoution should be global, unless a user made changes to his GNOME (not X) session | 12:18 |
| rabspd | does hardy have builtin firewall? | 12:18 |
| gronne | ikonia: yeah, sure... but isn't it only for ports? well, I try then... | 12:18 |
| ikonia | rabspd: no, it has iptables built in, but not enabled, you have to configure it | 12:19 |
| ikonia | gronne: no, iptables deals with much more than ports | 12:19 |
| jo4 | ikonia, so i should go to #gnome and ask? cause it's set in the 'Screen Resolution' thingy | 12:19 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: i have kaffeine installed, its a music player | 12:19 |
| gronne | ok... so I will try to write ufw allow 192.168.0.3 and it should work I hope... | 12:19 |
| rabspd | ikonia how to configure, is there any tutorial? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | jo4: system --> preferences --> screen resolution will set it on a per user bassis | 12:20 |
| ikonia | rabspd: www.netfilter.org | 12:20 |
| rabspd | ikonia: thanks | 12:20 |
| mohamed_ | _moro_bana_: we can talk in side talking , to not make the room here crowded :) | 12:20 |
| zChris | Love is in the air | 12:20 |
| RainmaN | hi all! | 12:20 |
| gronne | ikonia: I did as I wrote... but It said ERROR:Bad port | 12:21 |
| rabspd | ikonia: what about firestarter? | 12:21 |
| bazhang | zChris, not in here please | 12:21 |
| emma | !info firestarter > emma | 12:21 |
| ikonia | rabspd: thats just another front end | 12:21 |
| jo4 | ikonia, yeah, maybe should have mentioned that when i asked, sorry :p but i mean, it has to save settings in a file. cause the setting persists over reboots | 12:21 |
| binarymutant | what's the X geometery for the lower right hand corner? | 12:21 |
| ikonia | jo4: those settings are in memory, but should be stored in the gconf database | 12:21 |
| zChris | !ot > bazhang | 12:21 |
| emma | rabspd, there is a really good gui for configuring your firewall called Firestarter | 12:21 |
| emma | rabspd - type: sudo apt-get install firestarter | 12:21 |
| rabspd | emma: I have done it. | 12:22 |
| emma | rabspd, okay good :) | 12:22 |
| emma | Then just start firestarter | 12:22 |
| rabspd | emma: but still unknown how to configure it? | 12:22 |
| rabspd | emma: started | 12:23 |
| rabspd | emma: then? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | rabspd: be very careful what you do, as this is just an interface to iptables, so any crashes mid configuration will leave you in a unusable / locked out state | 12:23 |
| gronne | ikonia: It said Bad port when I entered "ufw allow 192.168.0.3" | 12:23 |
| jo4 | ikonia, any way to run gconf-editor on ssh? :p or can you tell me where the data bases are located? | 12:23 |
| jrib | jo4: use gconftool-2 | 12:23 |
| bazhang | rabspd, you wish to read some info in iptables first | 12:23 |
| ikonia | jrib: thank you | 12:23 |
| Daviey | jo4: ssh -X user@server , then launch gconf-editor | 12:23 |
| rabspd | yah | 12:23 |
| ikonia | gronne: you need to specify a port | 12:24 |
| ikonia | gronne: I don't know if ufw will allow wildcards | 12:24 |
| ikonia | gronne: or "ALL" | 12:24 |
| emma | rabspd, the wizard will walk you through most of it when you start it. | 12:24 |
| emma | rabspd you might want to log out of ubuntu and back in so that firestarter can update everything though. | 12:24 |
| jo4 | jrib, says cannot open display | 12:24 |
| rabspd | emma: it is telling network device setup. | 12:24 |
| ikonia | why do you need to log out and back in | 12:24 |
| gronne | ikonia: Ok, is there anyway to find out what port I need it to allow? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | firestarter is dynamic | 12:25 |
| ikonia | gronne: what do you want to allow ? | 12:25 |
| emma | rabspd then when you get through the wizard check the box that says "IP adress is assigned via DHCP box (unless you are using an old dial up modem) | 12:25 |
| rabspd | yah. There was just three step. | 12:25 |
| jrib | jo4: what did you type exactly? | 12:25 |
| rabspd | I am using internet via LAN | 12:25 |
| LimCore | why ubuntu fails agai? | 12:26 |
| LimCore | * again | 12:26 |
| emma | rabspd, if you use any bittorent then you will want to set some inbound rules. In the firestarter main window click the Policy Tab. Seclect inbound traffic policy in the editing drop down list. | 12:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: with what ? | 12:26 |
| gronne | ikonia: Well, you said I needed to specify a port... All I want is for it to run 192.168.0.3.. but I guess it needs a port as well then | 12:26 |
| LimCore | ikonia: with good job, http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html | 12:26 |
| LimCore | ikonia: with http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html | 12:26 |
| jo4 | jrib, uhm.. i should maybe have done like ssh -X first, i just did 'gconftool-2' | 12:26 |
| ikonia | gronne: thats right | 12:26 |
| rabspd | emma: then what to do? | 12:26 |
| LimCore | hm wait, this is not #ubuntu-bugs | 12:26 |
| * LimCore moves to other chanel | 12:26 | |
| jrib | jo4: weird, I unset DISPLAY and gconftool-2 still worked for me | 12:26 |
| gronne | ikonia: is tere a way to find out what that port would be | 12:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: why are you showing this graph ? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | LimCore: what has that got to do with ubuntu fails comments ? | 12:27 |
| emma | rabspd, Right click in the second box on the Policy Tab. And then select Add Rule. To allow use of a Bittorent select the Bittorent choice. | 12:27 |
| ikonia | gronne: but what do you want to allow them to do ? | 12:27 |
| jo4 | jrib, oh, that's weird | 12:27 |
| emma | rabspd, then click add and click Apply Policy. | 12:27 |
| LimCore | ikonia: ubuntu still dont warn users to secure servers used with weak key - and hackers already take advantage :/ | 12:27 |
| emma | rabspd, that should do it. | 12:27 |
| ikonia | LimCore: you've been asked multiple times to stop going on about this | 12:27 |
| ikonia | LimCore: this is not a support issue - it doesn't need warning, it auto updates | 12:27 |
| emma | I need to fly or I'll be late to work. I hope that helps rabspd | 12:27 |
| gronne | ikonia: so I can ftp into my pc from my xbox(xbmc) in order to watch videos.. I'm really a newbie :) | 12:27 |
| emma | see everyone later on today. | 12:28 |
| ikonia | LimCore: please stop going on about this | 12:28 |
| LimCore | ikonia: well just twice including this one but ok | 12:28 |
| ikonia | gronne: ports 21 and 22 | 12:28 |
| rabspd | emma: thank did. | 12:28 |
| freakabcd | hi all | 12:28 |
| gronne | ok.. thanks I'll try! | 12:28 |
| ikonia | LimCore: and you where told earlier to stop dicussing it | 12:28 |
| rabspd | emma: then. | 12:28 |
| freakabcd | can someone help me out with input language support? | 12:28 |
| emma | good luck rabspd -- Enjoy your Ubuntu ♥ | 12:28 |
| rabspd | emma: thanks. | 12:28 |
| freakabcd | i had scim/anthy working perfectly in gutsy | 12:28 |
| ikonia | rabspd: why do you need a firewall if your on a lan ? | 12:28 |
| overdose | does compiz-fusion come with Hardy Heron when installed? | 12:29 |
| freakabcd | but when i try the same in hardy, it scim doesn;t seem to activate at all for some reason | 12:29 |
| ikonia | rabspd: surly the lan will have network firewall on it ? | 12:29 |
| ikonia | overdose: it does | 12:29 |
| rabspd | ikonia: No. | 12:29 |
| rabspd | ikonia: there is not any network firewall | 12:29 |
| ikonia | rabspd: your network has no security devices on it at all ? | 12:29 |
| dimedo | my firefox doesn't seem to trust the CAs from the ca-certificate packet on ubuntu. is this default behavior? can i set up firefox to do so? | 12:29 |
| rabspd | freakabck: what happened? | 12:29 |
| rabspd | ikonia: no? | 12:30 |
| freakabcd | rabspd, ctrl-Space activates nothing | 12:30 |
| ikonia | rabspd: odd. | 12:30 |
| jo4 | so, what am i looking for? i tried searching for resolution and the actual resolution it self, but no ciger | 12:30 |
| ikonia | rabspd: unusual I should say sorry | 12:30 |
| gronne | ikonia: weird.. I opened both ports, but it still didn't allow me to enter my pc | 12:30 |
| freakabcd | although i have scim running on the panel and have setup the right combo in the scim setup dialog | 12:30 |
| ikonia | gronne: is ftp running on your server ? | 12:30 |
| ikonia | gronne: sorry, ports 20 and 21, typo on my part, sorry | 12:30 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, for irc or firefox | 12:30 |
| rabspd | u can change keyboard layout using mouse also. | 12:31 |
| gronne | ikonia: ok, I'll try again | 12:31 |
| overdose | ikonia: hi there. First i like to thank you for your attention to my question. How come i don't have the cube tho? | 12:31 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, err.. for all apps no? | 12:31 |
| hashman | hello all, does ubuntu have any tool similar to SaX2 in SuSE for configuring the desktop? | 12:31 |
| ikonia | gronne: sorry, my misdtake | 12:31 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, scim/anthy is supposed to work for all apps | 12:31 |
| ikonia | overdose: it's install,ed you have to set it up and configure it | 12:31 |
| freakabcd | not just firefox/irc | 12:31 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, best to change system language then | 12:31 |
| === ToygarTR is now known as toygartr | ||

| rabspd | What do i need to share internet connection in ubuntu server? | 12:32 |
| overdose | ikonia: mmm... its been a while since i last used ubuntu. I had beryl installed on ubuntu 6.10 before. oH okay, so if i do a simple apt-get install simple-ccsm, it'll do the trick right? | 12:32 |
| ikonia | rabspd: iptables | 12:32 |
| ikonia | rabspd: or proxy services like squick and socks5 | 12:32 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, i have even setup the hotkey in the anthy subitem in the scim setup | 12:33 |
| alzamabar_ | Hi, is there anyone who could help? | 12:33 |
| ikonia | overdose: that gets you the package, then launch ccsm and it will help you configure compiz | 12:33 |
| Filled-Void | Hello all has anyone installed artwiz fonts on Ubuntu hardy and get it to work. I cant seem to get those fonts to work with my system. | 12:33 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: with what ? | 12:33 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, did scim tell you to re-launch | 12:33 |
| rabspd | ikonia: will you give me some idea, how to share internet connection through server? | 12:33 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, I've just installed the latest version and two weird things happened | 12:33 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, i have logged out a few times, and even did a reboot! | 12:33 |
| wols_ | rabspd: NAT. you will need 2 network interfaces | 12:33 |
| overdose | ikonia: i'll give that a try. thx | 12:33 |
| gronne | ikonia: Don't worry, I'm just glad someone helps me :) anyway, the bad part is that it still doesn't work.. maybe it isn't ftp'ing it's doing.. it uses samba to view files I've shared | 12:33 |
| ikonia | rabspd: well, you can either do it at a firewall level with iptables, or install services like squid and socks 5 | 12:33 |
| wols_ | rabspd: ipmasq and dnsmasq are the packages | 12:33 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, the first is that apparently my network details have gone lost | 12:33 |
| ikonia | rabspd: if they are on the same lan as you though, surly they will just use the same setup you are | 12:34 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, what I meant was relaunch the scim itself not reboot etc | 12:34 |
| rabspd | which one is easy? | 12:34 |
| ikonia | gronne: ahhh ok, samba is a different thing | 12:34 |
| ikonia | rabspd: squid is probably easier for web browsing | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Raptelan: but it's up to you | 12:34 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, huh? logging out and logging back in relaunches scim. rebooting achieves the same | 12:34 |
| daver_au | hey, i've just upgraded to hardy, and it broke my network drivers. I need to know how to fix them, but i dont really know where to start. | 12:34 |
| wols_ | ikonia: you think? no config file editing? | 12:34 |
| freakabcd | dont tell me you think i didn;t restart scim! | 12:34 |
| ikonia | rabspd: but if they are on the same lan as you, why do you need it | 12:34 |
| alzamabar_ | The second is that I had to partitions hd which are not being recognised | 12:35 |
| wols_ | daver_au: what network card? | 12:35 |
| gronne | ikonia: would it be a different port for samba then? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | wols_: squid - couple of lines, iptables for someone who doesn't understand it....touch call | 12:35 |
| alzamabar_ | Can somebody help pls? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | gronne: surly would | 12:35 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, how about right clicking in xchat window | 12:35 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: what do you mean "gone" | 12:35 |
| daver_au | wols_: will just check. realtek i think | 12:35 |
| rabspd | ikonia: my server is using windows currently, i want to replace it by ubuntu server | 12:35 |
| gronne | ikonia: I try and google to see what port it is | 12:35 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, that basically now the localhost name is not recognised | 12:35 |
| ikonia | gronne: I was just doing that, well done for doing it | 12:35 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: where does it say that, what are you doing when it says that | 12:35 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, right click in xchat window and? | 12:35 |
| gronne | ikonia: I can't be lazy ALL the time :) | 12:36 |
| alzamabar_ | If I type ping jemoslinux, it says that it doesn't recognise the host name | 12:36 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: thats probably your dns not being available | 12:36 |
| bazhang | あふや freakabcd | 12:36 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: look in /etc/resolv.conf and do an ifconfig -a make sure you have ipaddresses | 12:36 |
| bazhang | choose scim bridge freakabcd | 12:36 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, thanks I'll look into that | 12:36 |

| alzamabar_ | ikonia, in /etc/hosts the name of my local host is there, and it hasn't changed as compared as before | 12:40 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: I didn't say anything about that | 12:40 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, what shall I put in /etc/resolv.conf | 12:40 |
| Pedram | i have a problem with my hsf modem | 12:41 |
| effe | Hello, when i boot with the 2.6.24 Kernel i can't connect to the unsecured WLAN at my university, but my WPA network at home works with the 2.6.24 kernel. | 12:41 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: I said "you'll need to use a fully qualified domain, OR put it in your host file OR use the Search string in /etc/resolv.conf" | 12:41 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, how do I use the Search string in /etc/resolv.conf | 12:41 |
| katz__ | /join #OSC2008Nagoya | 12:41 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: search $domain | 12:41 |
| daver_au | wols_: i think i know where to start... | 12:42 |
| gronne | ikonia: god damnit... how hard could it be, I opened port 139 and 445, which they say smb uses, but still no go... only if I disable ufw will it work... do I really need ufw? | 12:42 |
| daver_au | wols_: i'll just redownload and reinstall the drivers from the realtek site | 12:42 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, do I need to restart anything after adding this string? | 12:42 |
| wols_ | daver_au: wlan? | 12:42 |
| ikonia | gronne: my personal opinion is that tools like ufw, firestarter, and the like are not good tools for interfacing with iptables, I'd drop all rules, and learn to add some basic iptables rules | 12:42 |
| ikonia | gronne: thats only my personal view though | 12:42 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: no | 12:42 |
| daver_au | wols_: nope, just normal internal on-motherboard cabled lan | 12:43 |
| amorphous__ | ok - i have problems printing on a HP1020. I have tried a lot. - have re-instaled hotplug stuff as openprinting stuff suggests, but the printer does not print | 12:43 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, if my domain was named JEMOSGROUP and my localhost was named jemoslinux, would the following string be correct in /etc/resolv.conf? search JEMOSGROUP | 12:43 |
| gronne | ikonia: ok... I think I'll do that :) but is there a real need for a firewall when you have it in the router already? | 12:43 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: what type of domain is that, it's not a dns domain | 12:44 |
| ikonia | gronne: if you have a router setup with an ok rule set, I don't see a need, depends how paranoid you are | 12:44 |
| wols_ | daver_au: those are supported by ubuntu usually | 12:44 |
| ikonia | amorphous__: hot plug died a long time ago, not sure what your installing | 12:44 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, in /etc/resolv.conf I've got the configuration of two nameserver entries | 12:44 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, with their IP addresses | 12:45 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: why do you not answer the questions I've asked | 12:45 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: I didn't ask anything about IP addresses | 12:45 |
| gronne | ikonia: ok, I'm not very paranoid, so it should be alright :) thanks a lot for the help, you're really helpful! | 12:45 |
| daver_au | wols_: yeah, i know, but i think me installing a custom driver in gutsy might have borked the upgrade | 12:45 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: do you confuse windows workgroups with dns? | 12:45 |

| alzamabar_ | ikonia, how could I find out? | 12:46 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: "what kind of a domain is that, it's not a dns domain" should be responded with "it's a windows Activce directory, or a samba domain, or an LDAP schema", not "I have 2 ipaddresses" | 12:46 |

| visf | hi, anybody know where i can find beginner info to setup a mail server? | 12:48 |

| ubottu | visf: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds.

| wols_ | visf: look for a dovecot howto | 12:49 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: ok, so you need to setup a DHCP server on your host, assign an IP address to it via pattern matching mac address from your PC, then you need to setup 2 dns servers, with dynamic dns and use a DNS update tool to update dns with your hostname and IP address | 12:49 |
| gronne | wols_: ok... Was pretty sure I didn't. how could you know it's nat because of that ip? | 12:49 |

| daver_au | wols_: well, this doesnt work. "sudo make clean modules" fails | 12:50 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, I've already got a DHCP server, it's my wireless router, and it's also setup to assign a static IP address to my PC based on its MAC address | 12:50 |
| wols_ | daver_au: what NIC? | 12:50 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: ok, so you need to setup dynamic dns servers and dynamic dns clients on your PC | 12:50 |
| wols_ | ikonia: not really. he should set up dyndns on the router if possible. nmost can do it | 12:50 |
| ikonia | wols_: whe wants to do it on his dns server, and register clients behind the router | 12:51 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: how is your DNS set up? | 12:51 |
| daver_au | wols_: Realtek 8111B-GR nic | 12:51 |
| gronne | wols_: Ok, I take your word for it... Now I'll disable ufw :) | 12:51 |
| wols_ | ikonia: depends who/what resolves DNS for him | 12:52 |
| alzamabar_ | wols, my PC is connected via Ethernet cable to the router, so it should already get an IP address. It was working before the upgrade to 8.04 and after the upgrade this is not working anymore | 12:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | Ok... turns out cover art retrieval in Rythymbox for Gutsy is broken. If you've already got local art it will display that, but the page (amazon I think it was) that it downloaded new art from changed its protocols. It's been fixed upstream and in Hardy... but will not be made available in Gutsy. So... if you want cover art you either have to download it and place it in "covers" under the rhythmbox config files under ~/, or | 12:52 |
| airy_chan | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 12:52 |

| Becker_11 | is there a way to pipe the output of a man page to a text file so I can email it? | 13:00 |

| mohamed_ | yes _moro_bana_ this is the good side of opensource | 13:07 |
| Kernel-1 | hmmmmmmm, jes, but only HDD's and Partitions | 13:07 |
| janMD | mount | grep /dev > bla.txt maybe? | 13:08 |
| _moro_bana_ | mohamed_: im loving it, viva ubuntu. bye | 13:08 |

| janMD | :-P | 13:08 |
| Kernel-1 | mount | grep /dev > bla.txt - that would help in some degree ;) | 13:09 |
| European-African | sorry, I will have to ask that again. I want to install /boot, / and swap to 3 primary partitions and 1 lvm partition with /home and /backup, can anyone give me a link that explains how to do this on the ubuntu livecd or the alternative? | 13:09 |
| Kernel-1 | because, I do not need all DEVICES, but only HDD's :) | 13:09 |
| janMD | grep /dev/h? | 13:09 |
| mh512 | my qsynaptics does not work | 13:10 |
| janMD | (if devices hda etc) | 13:10 |

| mh512 | I have set SHMConfig to true alr. | 13:10 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ I've solved the problem. the entry in the /etc/hosts was wrong. It should have been 192.168.0.4 jemoslinux instead of 192.168.0.4 jemoslinux.JEMOSGROUP | 13:10 |
| janMD | yes | 13:10 |
| Kernel-1 | thanks | 13:10 |
| dystopianray | does anyone have half life 2 working on gutsy with an nvidia video card? | 13:10 |
| janMD | works? | 13:10 |
| Kernel-1 | lemmy try... :) | 13:10 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ Now when I ping jemoslinux I correctly get 192.168.0.4 which is my local machine | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | alzamabar_, this is twice now ive seen someone with a hostname.SAMBAGROUPNAME in their hosts file. | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | alzamabar_, we never did figure out where that SambaHostname Line came from | 13:11 |
| alzamabar_ | Dr_willis, this was automatically set up by GG 7.10 | 13:11 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: thats exactly what I told you to do in the first line | 13:11 |
| ikonia | alzamabar_: I told you to search use a search domain in your /etc/resolv.conf OR put the hostname in your /etc/hosts file | 13:11 |
| alzamabar_ | ikonia, thanks, but as I've said, this was working with 7.10 GG and it was automatically set up by the network utility | 13:11 |
| Kernel-1 | There is nothing in the file? :)) | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | alzamabar_, ive never seen that befor. In all my ages of samba ussage. :) and so on. Im wondering if theres a bug going on somewhere. | 13:12 |

| alzamabar_ | Dr_willis, after the upgrade I got another problem. Could you help? | 13:12 |
| dystopianray | Dr_willis: apparently not | 13:12 |
| aaron | anyone know how to get an eMobile working under Ubuntu? It is a kind of modem but I don't know where the modem settings are | 13:13 |
| izinucs | European-African, you should be able to do that on the live cd choosing Manual Paratition when you get to the partitioning portion. should be pretty straight forward. | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | dystopianray, check the wine and !appdb app database. I dont mess with wine and those games. | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | !appdb | 13:13 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 13:13 |
| amorphous__ | ikonia, with hp 1020 - hotplug stuff. I've googled 'till i'm blue in the face (and red too) -- the error log says i don't have auth to print (or similar), the only suggestion is hotplug. it doesn't work. | 13:13 |
| alzamabar_ | Dr_willis, ikonia, before the upgrade I had 1 HD partitioned in two partitions with entry in the /etc/fstab file and everything was working fine | 13:13 |
| dystopianray | Dr_willis: yeah I know what appdb is | 13:13 |
| European-African | izinucs: and on the alternative? | 13:14 |
| amorphous__ | ikonia, to get to the printer is over 100mile | 13:14 |
| jorgenpt | Okay, I have a Edgy Eft (6.10) server, should I upgrade directly to Hardy Heron (8.04), or should I go via Feisty (7.04) -> Gutsy (7.10) -> Hardy (8.04)? | 13:14 |
| izinucs | European-African, should be the same.. in fact the alternative is the only way to get lvm on install | 13:14 |
| Kernel-1 | hmmm - still gives me something thats not HDD =devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) | 13:14 |

| alzamabar_ | Dr_willis, ikonia, now the two partitions are unrecognised (although the entries are still there in the /etc/fstab file, but the system in 'places' shows me the two partitions with another name | 13:14 |
| wols_ | designerman: xserver-xorg | 13:14 |
| jorgenpt | Ah, I found the wikipage about it. | 13:15 |
| amorphous__ | ikonia, and i've tried the hotplug thing loadsd of times, with reboots etc. Machine printed ok 'till 2 weeks ago (so they say), you have any ideas? | 13:15 |
| jorgenpt | Seems I should go in increments. :) | 13:15 |

| designerman | wols_: I get the error xserver-xorg is not installed... | 13:15 |
| MidasWS | Hello, What would be the command to copy (not move) one directory on root including all subdirs to another one? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | designerman: are you using a server install ? | 13:15 |

| designerman | wols_: startx runs but there is an error - i need to reconfigure it does not recognise my graphics card driver | 13:15 |
| Dr_willis | alzamabar_, a bit over my head. I always do clean installs. Sounds like mount point confusiion., | 13:15 |
| ikonia | MidasWS: sudo cp | 13:15 |
| Kernel-1 | janMD - /dev/sda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,relatime,notail), devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) - I DON"T want the other one! :) | 13:15 |

| joaopinto | designerman, cp -a source_dir target_path | 13:16 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ shall I run the mount command? | 13:16 |
| wols_ | Kernel-1: which one you don't want? | 13:16 |
| ikonia | designerman: your running on the livecd, with a desktop and it says you don't have xserver-xorg installed ? | 13:16 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: yes | 13:16 |
| Kernel-1 | the other one | 13:16 |
| Kernel-1 | I WANT just HDD's | 13:16 |
| Kernel-1 | (partitions) | 13:16 |
| MidasWS | ikinoia, like this ? sudo cp -R asdsadf.com/ uytu.com/ | 13:16 |

| yacc | Hmm, any way to make xine dump the stream? | 13:16 |

| janMD | Kernel-1: well, grep for "/dev/sd" then... | 13:17 |
| Kernel-1 | I know that | 13:17 |
| Radit | DJones: thanks :-) | 13:17 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ I suspect that are these two: | 13:17 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 13:17 |
| amorphous__ | ikonia, yr a bit busy now... maybe i best to ask later. | 13:17 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ /dev/sdb2 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) | 13:17 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: and what are the entries in your /etc/fstab? | 13:18 |
| amorphous__ | ikonia, cheers | 13:18 |
| Kernel-1 | - /sd(x) should be only HDD devices? - thats very important for me | 13:18 |

| alzamabar_ | wols_ /dev/hdb1/media/disk1ext3async,auto,exec,nosuid,nodev,group,owner,rw,errors=remount-ro00 | 13:18 |
| wols_ | Kernel-1: not possible. usb flash is also /sda | 13:18 |
| ikonia | amorphous__: I'm off to do a little work now, I'll be back in 30- minutes or so, I'll spend some serious time with you then | 13:18 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ /dev/hdb2/media/disk2ext3async,auto,exec,nosuid,nodev,group,owner,rw,errors=remount-ro00 | 13:18 |
| Kernel-1 | cos' I need only THEM FILTERED! (thats tricjy) | 13:18 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: edit your fstab. change /dev/hdb1 to /dev/sdb1 | 13:18 |
| vallhalla81 | help me please i just installed virtual box from synaptic and it requested a restart i did so and now have lost my graphics card config and all sound | 13:18 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ thanks. Just out of curiosity, any reasons why this happened? | 13:19 |
| wols_ | Kernel-1: you can also rename them via udev somehow. so they still exist but are called /dev/hda or such | 13:19 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: yes. around 2.6.18 or so, all disks are using scsi subsystem. before that IDE disks usd /dev/hdX | 13:19 |
| Kernel-1 | hmmm - the reason I need this is to have my own comand to have a quick insight in which HDD;s are on a particular machine | 13:20 |
| wols_ | but that must be an OLD install: ubuntu uses UUIDs in fstab for ages | 13:20 |

| Dr_willis | wols_, well.. in theory. :) i still have a few odd machines that stll give me /dev/hd## not sure why that one machine does not use the /dev/sd## method. | 13:20 |
| troxor | izinucs: the rename command | 13:20 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ your help has been gr8. Thanks also to ikonia and Dr_willis. Is there a way I can restart the mount without having to restart the system? | 13:20 |
| wols_ | Dr_willis: depends a bit on the driver and how it'S written | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | alzamabar_, you got a lot of odd options in that fstab line.. why the 'exec' option? | 13:21 |
| wols_ | alzamabar_: after you changed it, unmount the two things and remount | 13:21 |
| vlt | izinucs: `find ... -exec mv {} 1-{}.jpg ;\` for example (there a much more ways ;) | 13:21 |

| izinucs | troxor, I figured that.. :( but what's the syntax.. I need the number to cascade up like 1-<name>.jpg 2-<name>.jpg | 13:21 |
| Kernel-1 | is there any way that I know that some device is a HDD, regardles if it's sd(x) or hd(x)? - actually I need this | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | wols_, yea - i think its due to that machine haveing ide + sata controller and it being one of the first MB's out with both. | 13:22 |
| vlt | izinucs: Ok, you didn't tell that first ... | 13:22 |
| izinucs | vlt, thanks.. can I substitute cp for mv? | 13:22 |
| alzamabar_ | wols_ it works now, thanks!!! | 13:22 |
| izinucs | vlt, new option? | 13:22 |
| mohamed_ | izinucs: try rename *.jpg 1-*.jpg | 13:23 |
| wols_ | Dr_willis: no. it's only a function of what driver it uses | 13:23 |
| izinucs | mohamed_, ah.. much easier... that's what I was thinking. .. one more twist. the name is static and the number progresses up numerically with each pic. | 13:24 |
| vlt | izinucs: You could use a loop: `i=1; find ... | while read FILE; do mv "$FILE" "$i-$FILE"; i=$(($i+1)); done` ... but there must be a dozen tools already for this task ;) | 13:24 |
| troxor | izinucs: thunar has a bulk rename functionality too | 13:25 |
| Ovispain | o arhiva .rar o pot deskide in linux ? | 13:25 |

| adam7 | Quintin: you are indeed right, sorry :/ Totem opens when you put a dvd in, right? | 13:57 |
| Quintin | adam7: yes | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | noob-africa_, try some other players like gmplayer, or vlc? i havent tried a SVCD in years..,. | 13:58 |
| steve_j | wols_ ah, so if my server is not getting the right DNS for a domain yet, all i can do is wait for my hosts's own DNS lookup to update? | 13:58 |
| Quintin | it would be great if the devs could not screw everything up so on new release. that's what beta testers are for | 13:58 |
| Quintin | adam7: I'd like vlc, since it can actually show menus etc | 13:58 |

| noob-africa_ | Dr_willis: and i have just lost my maximize, minimize and close buttons on Firefox... cant see the Title bar also... | 13:59 |
| bridean | blame: Maybe if I sent you a few screen shots you would understand what I am talking about | 13:59 |
| noob-africa_ | i think compiz is messing up Firefox, somehow... lol | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | noob-africa_, if all windows have lost their 'decorations' then thats sounds like compiz crashing, or whatever window-decorator you are using. | 13:59 |
| blame | bridean: some times its theme problem, try switching your theme | 13:59 |

| lartza_ | how do i get remote access to windows computer? what do i have to install there and to ubuntu? | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | BVBBQ: id uninstall it and switch to vesa then find a walkthrough to install a different driver | 14:01 |

| ActionParsnip | BVBBQ: what video card do you use? | 14:01 |
| adam7 | Quintin: Totem is the default program for DVD-playback in Hardy, and the is no obvious way to change it <--- not looking good | 14:01 |
| vlt | troxor: No, that didn't work. When I boot from the "new" MBR but with sectors 2-63 from before the install I only get infinitely scrolling "GRUB" on the screen. | 14:02 |

| ActionParsnip | BVBBQ: let me websearch first | 14:02 |

| BVBBQ | ActionParsnip, thanks dude | 14:03 |

| ActionParsnip | BVBBQ: use gksudo gedit | 14:06 |
| BVBBQ | thanks | 14:07 |
| bridean | BVBBQ: Yeah, and Totem is a "can't play the movie even if the file will play with any other movie player" kind of movie playing program. It baffles me as to why it's set as the automatic default movie player when there are so many obvious better choices out there. It's actually easier to reboot to windows and play it with Windows Media player sometimes than to try to play it with totem. | 14:07 |

| bridean | I don't want to change it in just firefox. Other programs use this annoying font as well. | 14:16 |

| Slart | d_rea: but well.. I won't tell you how to do your thing... I don't know if apt can update just a couple of packages.. you might want to look into aptitude as well.. it might do things differently | 14:17 |

| d_rea | Slart: True, but i've been bitten by upgrades before. I don't have time and a separate system to vet everything on first before I do it. I've ended up with a broken system more than once. | 14:17 |
| adam7 | d_rea: did sudo apt-get install packages-to-update not work? | 14:18 |
| ngolinh | 22222 | 14:18 |
| d_rea | adam7: Running it now | 14:18 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: sounds reasonable.... never tried it myself though | 14:18 |
| adam7 | d_rea: ok :) | 14:18 |
| bridean | Here is another example: [URL=http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotom7.png][IMG]http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/8536/screenshotom7.th.png[/IMG][/URL] | 14:19 |

| mohbana | hi guys | 14:19 |
| adam7 | d_rea: great, couldn't remember if that worked or not | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | miickee: i have no knowledge of it man, sorry | 14:19 |
| Slart | d_rea: do you have more than one computer you keep behind on the updates like this? might want to create a little repo of your own.. with only the packages you want | 14:19 |

| gordonjcp | miickee: lots of people here | 14:20 |
| adam7 | miickee: yeah, we're here... | 14:20 |
| d_rea | adam7: That's really handy, I'll be sure to keep note of that | 14:20 |
| miickee | Ok. | 14:20 |
| miickee | Well. | 14:20 |
| gordonjcp | mohbana: can you see the wireless router in network manager? | 14:20 |
| miickee | My output from the timing results are so slow. | 14:20 |
| adam7 | bridean: might want to try the system wide monspace font too, then :) | 14:20 |
| d_rea | Slart: it's an option, we don't have a proper sysadmin though and I'm really more of a dev. | 14:20 |
| adam7 | miickee: with sdparm too? | 14:20 |
| miickee | I need to make it faster to enable good dvd playback | 14:20 |
| mohbana | gordonjcp: yes i can | 14:20 |
| bridean | adam7: Thanks, that fixed the problem in firefox. What about in freeciv? | 14:21 |
| miickee | I dunno how to use sdparm, the man page is so vague. | 14:21 |
| miickee | I need to know which parameters to change | 14:21 |
| BonezAU | Are there any other GUI's available for PPTP VPN connections than NetworkManager? | 14:21 |
| Slart | d_rea: ah.. I have no idea how hard it is to setup.. well.. this worked too | 14:21 |
| bridean | adam7: Where is the system wide monospace font setting at? | 14:21 |
| adam7 | bridean: System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Fonts and change the monospace front | 14:21 |
| adam7 | bridean: ideally, you'd choose another monspace font to replace it, but doesn't need to be if having a monospace font isn't important to you | 14:21 |
| lucky711x | how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....???? | 14:22 |
| d_rea | Slart: yeah, i suspect that you'd have to spend a bunch of time every week keeping it up-to-date | 14:22 |
| adam7 | BonezAU: not that I'm aware of, but that doesn't mean there isn't | 14:22 |
| bobbob1016 | Anyone know if I there is libeel for Hardy yet? I want to use Fusion's Wallpaper plugin, and keep my desktop icons. | 14:22 |

| userlol | darren_ backup your important files, and see how it go's | 14:23 |
| miickee | TO fix slow read speeds. | 14:23 |
| darren_ | ok could that cause my system to freeze up | 14:24 |
| lucky711x | how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....???? | 14:24 |
| userlol | adam7 linux doesnt use drivers? | 14:24 |
| bridean | Adam7: Under system -> appearence -> preferences -> fonts which one do I change? Application font? The only one that is monospace is the "fixed width" font which I have set to monospace bold. That controls the font that is used when I run a terminal so I know that one doesn't need to be changed. | 14:24 |
| bobbob1016 | adam7, It does use drivers, just differently. | 14:24 |
| adam7 | miickee: are you sure the drive isn't just inherently slow? | 14:24 |
| Radit | how to repair grub on a harddisk that used recover vista from vista dvd? | 14:24 |
| Slart | d_rea: hehe.. ok.. whatever makes you a happy productive dev =) | 14:24 |
| miickee | Na, it isn't normally slow mate. | 14:24 |
| adam7 | bobbob1016: modules, and they should be automatically loaded, yes? | 14:24 |
| userlol | darren_ i doubt it mate, not unless your hardware is really odd and then in that case it shouldnt still freeze up | 14:24 |
| adam7 | userlol: modules, and it should load them automatically | 14:24 |
| userlol | adam7 ah ok, i see | 14:24 |
| darren_ | k | 14:25 |
| bazhang | Radit, vista installed first or second | 14:25 |
| userlol | adam7 isnt module just a buzz word for driver? | 14:25 |
| miickee | Look, I know there are some parameters in sdparm to change my read speed, and I read the man page and I can't find out why. | 14:25 |
| darren_ | what would cause it to freeze up durring 3d use | 14:25 |
| TimothyP | Hi, I have a script (for the firewall) which needs to be started AFTER MySQL server! if I add the script with pre-up to /etc/network/interfaces OR when I define and upstart job with runlevel 2 the script is executed BEFORE MySQL and does not work, how can I fix this? | 14:25 |
| adam7 | bridean: yeah, the monospace bold, I think -- also, try switching off the subpixel smoothing to monochrome and see if that makes the font look better | 14:25 |
| lucky711x | how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....???? | 14:25 |
| userlol | darren_ maybe running to many programs that require alot of use from your graphics card, thats across the board for any os though really | 14:26 |

| Radit | bazhang: vista was first installed, then ubuntu, then my friend runed recover vista from the vista dvd; now it only boots to vista.. | 14:26 |
| darren_ | how can i check | 14:26 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows radit this may give some info | 14:26 |
| bridean | Adam7: I know it's not the monospace bold because I tried changing that once. The only thing that one controls is the font that is used if I run a terminal. | 14:26 |
| userlol | darren_ duno mate, maybe try run heaps of videos or games at the same time? | 14:26 |
| darren_ | k | 14:27 |
| darren_ | k | 14:27 |
| bridean | Radit: Sounds like all you need to do is restore the MBR so that it runs Grub. This is a common problem when installing Windows after you have linux installed. | 14:27 |
| userlol | darren_ i wouldnt advise it really, but if you wana see how far you can push your computer, then worse comes to worse you'll just need to reboot | 14:27 |

| darren_ | has their been any problems with ubuntu 7.10 and intel core 2 duo | 14:28 |
| bridean | Radit: Run Ubuntu as a live CD, go into repair mode then run grub-install as root is how I normally do it. | 14:28 |
| Philh | darren_, what trouble are you having? | 14:28 |
| drash | too bad lucky711x, worked for me, gdluck | 14:29 |
| bazhang | darren_, check launchpad; no probs here though (same setup) | 14:29 |
| userlol | darren_ not that i know of, i have a intel core 2 duo and it runs fine for me | 14:29 |

| userlol | darren_ ah ok, is your graphics card up to the task? | 14:30 |
| bazhang | darren_, the native linux one or on wine | 14:30 |
| bridean | Adam7: Monocrome doesn't do anything other than change the font used if I run a terminal | 14:30 |
| Philh | darren_, how hot is the cpu running? | 14:30 |
| darren_ | native | 14:30 |
| darren_ | and the cpu is only running 40 degrees c | 14:30 |
| adam7 | bridean: did you change the monochrome font or the monochrome rendering option on the bottom of the panel? | 14:30 |
| adam7 | bridean: (dialog, not panel) | 14:31 |
| adam7 | (sorry) | 14:31 |
| userlol | darren_ what kinda graphics card you got? and do you run compiz fusion or anything like that when your trying to play the game? | 14:31 |

| bridean | Radit: I'm serious, that might really be your only problem. It only takes a few minutes to do. | 14:33 |
| Radit | bridean: how do you do that? | 14:33 |
| drash | AngryElf, let's hope not, backing-up xorg.conf and using envyNG after the upgrade worked flawless for me | 14:34 |
| darren_ | what folder do i look under | 14:34 |
| adam7 | once you've messed with Envy or the driver installers themselves, you're commited :) | 14:34 |
| bridean | Radit: Easier than that web site is to just simply run the command "grub-install" instead of "grub". Without the quotes of course. | 14:35 |

| adam7 | bridean: yeah, try the option above "Best contrast" | 14:40 |
| christoz | what is an obselete software? | 14:40 |

| gangsterlicious | anyone here know if 8.04 would work with PERC controllers? | 14:49 |
| drash | babolat, try "utf-8" or one of the other western types in the dropdown menu | 14:49 |
| stbain | that's the one | 14:49 |
| sakuramboo | update manager crashes when i try to view the preferences | 14:49 |
| bridean | Philh: Ok | 14:49 |
| davelee | Hi all. Hey, does xorg support 32 bit colour? and if so, how can i change my xorg.conf to make it happy with my Nvidia GTS 8800 at 1600x res ? | 14:50 |
| babolat | drash: i just checked. it's currently in Unicode UTF-8 | 14:50 |
| davelee | sorry, googling .. | 14:50 |
| wols_ | davelee: 32bit usually means 24bit actual color and 32bit used for mem usage only (easier to program) | 14:51 |
| bridean | That really is an annoying problem. Is there anybody that actually likes the grey on white color for reading? | 14:51 |
| davelee | trying to run games and 24 bit doesnt quite cut it | 14:51 |
| PCDJ | hey the folder shared wooohooo | 14:51 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: that article Pici linked... as you can see, 4.4 will be getting critical security updates only, but that will be going away in three months. I would look to migrate to php5 as quickly as possible. | 14:51 |
| bridean | Here's what it looks like now. [URL=http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2qr9.png][IMG]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4526/screenshot2qr9.th.png[/IMG][/URL] | 14:51 |
| davelee | wols - well it looks crap. you know if i can change it ? | 14:51 |
| drash | oké babolat, it's a wild guess, but try setting it to western(iso-8859-1) | 14:51 |
| Rippofunk | stbain: thanks, I guess i will have to change distros to one that supports 4 | 14:51 |
| Pici | Rippofunk: PHP itself doesnt support 4 anymore. | 14:52 |
| PCDJ | stbain, TY now i have to boot the other gates infected PC and see if it shared | 14:52 |
| babolat | i did that drash but still no change.. i think i'm just gonna go with MPlayer | 14:52 |
| bridean | Also, is it worthwhile for me to try upgrading to 8.04? I am running 7.10 | 14:52 |
| davelee | wol - the greater problem is i'm trying to run eve online | 14:52 |
| wols_ | davelee: ALL games on all platforms use 24bit only | 14:52 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: only if you want your PHP application to be open to any hacker in the world who manages to find a vulnerability after August 8th. | 14:52 |
| Rippofunk | i am getting paid to develop on php4 not 5, and obviously have no controlon update | 14:52 |
| drash | all the best babolat | 14:52 |
| davelee | and it works fine but looks a bit gradienty | 14:52 |
| Rippofunk | belive i know | 14:52 |
| babolat | thanks anyway drash | 14:52 |
| davelee | if you know what i mean ... banded | 14:52 |
| kakoonia | anyone knows what to do about my screens problem? | 14:53 |
| adam7 | Rippofunk: try Dapper, it might have PHP4... | 14:53 |
| wols_ | some high end graphics stuff uses more (10 bit per color usually) but normally you monitor cannot display more than 24bit | 14:53 |
| Rippofunk | stbain: belive me i know!!! | 14:53 |
| davelee | wols - so it's not a color depth issue? | 14:53 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: Yes, Dapper has v4 and is supported for another 3 years | 14:53 |
| adam7 | bridean: beautiful :) I'd suggest you undo whatever that change as :P | 14:53 |
| adam7 | s/as/was/ | 14:53 |
| wols_ | davelee: 24bit you only see banding in gradients in blue and green. maybe | 14:53 |
| davelee | wols - i found some other guys on the intertubes saying exactly what you are, on forum threads etc, so i expect you're right | 14:53 |
| Rippofunk | stbain: I use GEntoo on my laptop and that worksfine with php4, but they gave me an old desktop that would take years to install gentoo | 14:53 |
| wols_ | Rippofunk: php4 is officially deal and buried | 14:53 |
| davelee | but i still think it looks funny | 14:54 |
| wols_ | davelee: you sure it's using 24bit? | 14:54 |
| Rippofunk | stbain: thanks for the help | 14:54 |
| wols_ | *dead | 14:54 |
| kakoonia | im trying to figure out something, and i hope one of you can help me out, i got two screens, 1: Laptop screen with 1280x800 preferred resolution , 2: Philips 22" LCD screen with 1600x1050 preferred resolution, im trying to set a twin view that each one of my two screens will be set in its own resolution 1600x1050 and 1280x800 but still that ill see the whole screen on the smaller screen, anyone got me? and know what to do maybe? | 14:54 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: no problem. As a CTO who is in the middle of migrating an entire PHP4 application stack to another platform, I feel your pain. | 14:54 |
| bridean | I am running Ubuntu on an HP Pavillion dv6446us laptop. Runs a hell of a lot better than the Windows Vista home edition that was preinstalled | 14:55 |
| adam7 | kakoonia: good luck -- what card are you using in your laptop? (and what version of Ubuntu?) | 14:55 |
| Rippofunk | stbain: like i said if it was up to me i would migrate, but their servers are slackware and they are old skool, so no hope | 14:55 |
| wols_ | Rippofunk: soon they will have no choice, slack won't be supported forever there | 14:56 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: Do what I do... make them sign a disclaimer. | 14:56 |
| wols_ | and neither will be php4 | 14:56 |
| Rippofunk | stbain: diclaimer?? | 14:56 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: Reads something along the lines of "PHP4 is no longer supported, Rippofunk is in no way liable for the security of the application." | 14:56 |
| bridean | OSUKid: I used to work near OSU in Columbus Ohio. | 14:56 |
| stbain | Rippofunk: Basically, it makes them wake up and smell the coffee and protects you | 14:56 |
| wols_ | a disclaimer that it'S not your fault they insist on php4 and might soon have owned servers | 14:56 |
| bridean | OSUKid: Now, I live nowhere near Ohio | 14:57 |
| OSUKid7 | bridean: ah nice, yeah I'm from Columbus | 14:57 |

| Rippofunk | stbain: it seems like you are keeping this whole channel alive! thanks agian | 14:58 |
| stbain | PCDJ: Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I haven't really had to deal with Samba (or Windows for that matter) for years | 14:59 |
| legend2440 | can someone look at this and tell me if they have same problem with hardy? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12238/ | 14:59 |

| Philh | bridean, oh, so you're trying to turn AA off within freeciv? | 15:00 |
| adam7 | bridean: yeah, but if you're happy with 7.10, you don't have to upgrade :) | 15:00 |
| OSUKid7 | erUSUL: the one from a couple days ago? yes, and it has been patched, afaik | 15:00 |
| legend2440 | wols_: no western digital ide. the drive i have ubintu on | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | OSUKid7: you may need to first upgrade your system(s) and maybe regenerate your keys vpn set ups | 15:00 |
| ubuntunoob | i am only not happy with firefox in gutsy | 15:00 |
| ubuntunoob | flash always crash | 15:00 |
| stbain | PCDJ: I have a pretty even mix of Linux, Windows, Mac at home and here in my office, but the core stuff is all Linux | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | OSUKid7: if i read it correctly it affects vpn set ups too | 15:00 |
| bridean | Adam7: Well, I have all the applications and stuff I want set up in 7.10. How is 8.04 an improvement? | 15:00 |
| OSUKid7 | erUSUL: hmm, I've done dist-upgrade on both systems and believe they both re-generated the keys... and also, this isn't a true vpn setup - it just uses SSH (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN) | 15:01 |

| hydrogen | bazhang: CAP5050: | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | OSUKid7: the server keys are regenerated but maybe you have to regenerate personal keys??? use "sudo ssh-vulnkey -a" to check all keys on a system | 15:02 |
| pinnerup | It's usually ok after I reboot - for a couple of hours. Then it starts again. | 15:02 |
| hydrogen | bazhang: they seem not to respond to /cycle | 15:02 |
| Philh | bridean, is the text you're seeing still fuzzy even outside of the freeciv window? | 15:02 |
| adam7 | hydrogen: you can join #ubuntu-ops, I think to get some help (or do !ops, but be careful with that, it makes people unhappy if it isn't needed) | 15:02 |
| bridean | Adam7: Actually, I might be interested because I was experimenting with a program called rosegarden for writing music. But it has trouble with how MIDI is handled under Ubuntu. Maybe it would have less trouble under Ubuntu 8.04 | 15:02 |
| OSUKid7 | erUSUL: all are listed as "Not blacklisted" | 15:02 |
| adam7 | bridean: no idea, I don't use MIDI, sorry | 15:03 |
| hydrogen | adam7: right, thats why I didn't invoke the operator gods :) | 15:03 |
| bridean | philh: Yeah a little bit | 15:03 |
| adam7 | hydrogen: yep :) I've seen people who angered the gods, and ... *poof* :P | 15:03 |
| Lynet | pinnerup: Are these consistent errors (i.e., application A always hangs audio) or are they random? If random, it might be hardware issues. | 15:03 |
| adam7 | just like that. | 15:03 |
| Philh | bridean, for me that text is almost unreadable because of the lack of anti-aliasing, if it's fuzzy for you i wonder if you're driving your laptop's panel at the correct resolution | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | OSUKid7: ok; then if all your systems/keys are ok then i dunno .... | 15:03 |

| Philh | bridean, so the normal text is sharp and horrible but in the game it's fuzzy? | 15:04 |
| bridean | Philh: Also, it's possible that imageshack might have made the images fuzzy from compression | 15:05 |

| spaceninja | I got a windows hard drive as my IDE slave, and a SATA hard drive | 15:06 |
| Philh | bridean, and you actually find the unreadable jagged look of the text outside of the freeciv window more pleasant than anti-aliased text? | 15:06 |
| bridean | Philh: It's an improvment over the gray vs. white stuff I had earlier | 15:07 |

| Philh | bridean, you might want to try bumping your font sizes up a little if you're turning AA off, it'll make things less garbled | 15:11 |
| pinnerup | Lynet: I have done that. Immediately when I booted up, it asked if I wanted to enable Nvidia proprietary driver. I did. | 15:11 |

| fent | bazhang: so, this really must mean someone else was on the machine right? I don't know anything that can restart your machine without user intervention | 15:43 |
| Terrasque | bloody_: well, changing block size likely means that it have to twiddle every bit on the disk, so yea.. I guess so | 15:43 |
| mgolisch | noob-africa_: no its closed source, how would you port it? | 15:43 |

| douye | ryanprior: what tool do you use then? | 16:00 |
| vlt | Hello. I had Windows XP on the first (and only) partition. After having resized the NTFS file system (using the Ubuntu install CD) Windows still boots fine. | 16:00 |
| fent | bazhang: yep, and i had it unpached for about 8 hours on Tuesday | 16:00 |
| hrcguy | is wine very stable or is it still not good for windows games | 16:00 |
| vlt | But when I create a 2nd partition for Ubuntu in the space now available behind NTFS I get "Can't read media. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" (translated) from NTLDR. Deleting the 2nd partition and restoring the first one fixes this. | 16:00 |
| RyanPrior | douye: Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer (or baobob on cli) | 16:00 |
| bazhang | fent well get the updates, generate some new keys first off | 16:00 |
| fent | bazhang: done and done =) | 16:01 |

| dury | hi there channel :) | 16:22 |
| r00723r0 | A few times, actually. He's resorted to personal insults. | 16:22 |
| Myrtti | hi dury | 16:22 |
| arakthor | can you use variables in cron scripts? | 16:22 |
| IcE_^ | r00723r0: you're so mean, why do you take it so personally? | 16:23 |
| r00723r0 | IcE_^, I don't :) | 16:23 |
| Myrtti | IcE_^: elsewhere | 16:23 |
| IcE_^ | I just asked a QUESTION | 16:23 |
| IcE_^ | Myrtti ok ok ;) | 16:23 |
| dury | I thought to upgrade to 8.04 lts will be better and it's worse | 16:23 |
| IcE_^ | what package do i need to play mps, .avi files? | 16:23 |
| dury | my xmms is gone | 16:24 |
| mateusz_g | dury: why? | 16:24 |
| IcE_^ | mp3s* | 16:24 |
| mateusz_g | dury: cannot install it? | 16:24 |
| Pici | IcE_^: You probably want the ubuntu-restricted-extras file for all those nice mp3, java, flash etc packages | 16:24 |
| Pici | s/file/metapackage/ | 16:24 |
| bazhang | dury audacious is the successor | 16:24 |
| dury | mateusz_g | 16:24 |
| Pici | dury: xmms is no longer being developed, use audacious instead. | 16:24 |
| RyanPrior | dury: You probably don't want XMMS, but is that the only thing that's broken? | 16:25 |
| IcE_^ | Pici: thanks, thats all i was asking about! and thats where our argument went for | 16:25 |
| r00723r0 | Whatever happened to BMP? | 16:25 |
| RyanPrior | r00723r0: Still around if you want it. | 16:25 |
| r00723r0 | RyanPrior, actively developed? | 16:25 |
| r00723r0 | I don't hear much talk about it. | 16:25 |
| dury | xmms it's great | 16:25 |
| RyanPrior | r00723r0: No clue. | 16:25 |
| mateusz_g | dury: what? | 16:25 |
| arakthor | dury: I believe you may be able to download and compile xmms from somewhere like freshmeat or sourceforge. you may have to look around abit | 16:26 |

| dury | yeah Sinaptic | 16:28 |
| hiptobecubic | lol synaptic | 16:28 |
| grass0101 | Can I get some advice on a backup solution? I've just made the jump to Ubuntu from Winblows, and now I need to create a backup. I want to backup my /home to a SAMBA server. I used to use SyncToy in Windows, which would allow me to "sync" files from my laptop to the SAMBA server. Will rsync do this for me? | 16:28 |
| bazhang | dury launch from terminal but spell it right :) | 16:29 |
| dury | sorry Synaptic | 16:29 |
| jerbear | grass0101: i would say rsync, but i don't think it syncs well with fat partitions | 16:29 |
| hiptobecubic | dury, sudo synaptic | 16:29 |
| Moppa^ | hi, my networkspeed has dropped to a very low rate the last couple of days. won't go over 80kb/s and it doesnt matter wheter i download files from ftp locally or external http. | 16:29 |
| Pici | dury: gksudo synaptic | 16:29 |
| MidasWS | hello | 16:30 |
| MidasWS | how do i add "overwrite files if existing" to this? cp -R source.com/ target.com/ | 16:30 |
| arakthor | there's a package for scanning ssh logs and black/grey listing IPs based on access attempts - does anyone know what it is called? I have forgotten :( | 16:30 |
| jerbear | MidasWS: -f | 16:30 |
| grass0101 | jerbear: the samba server is running ubuntu as well, should I set up NFS between the two machines? I was going to use SBACKUP, but I have "@" symbols in my passord which broke it's login string for scp | 16:30 |
| jerbear | arakthor: denyhosts | 16:30 |
| arakthor | jerbear: thanks | 16:31 |
| dury | xmms it's available but not in the databse | 16:31 |
| mateusz_g | bye | 16:31 |
| krulle | iooo | 16:31 |
| dury | gess | 16:31 |
| MatBoy | damn why the hack are my windows opened on the wrong screen ? | 16:31 |
| Intangir | grass0101: nfs is faster, but you have to make sure the username/group settings are set correctly across both machines | 16:31 |
| dury | wanna xmms | 16:31 |
| jerbear | grass0101: i think rsync works best over ssh... it's what i use for backups. if you don't use windows, stay away from samba | 16:31 |
| hiptobecubic | What is the point of gksu over sudo? i just tried them both and gksu is even a tad slower | 16:31 |
| Moppa^ | hi, my networkspeed has dropped to a very low rate the last couple of days. won't go over 80kb/s and it doesnt matter wheter i download files from ftp locally or external http. Anyone got an idea? | 16:32 |
| Intangir | dury: ? | 16:32 |
| CShadowRun | Is there any way to make terminal have timestamps? | 16:32 |
| shoonya | there is a nice launch effect provided when an application is launched in hardy, which tool provides this effect ? | 16:32 |
| jerbear | CShadowRun: what do you mean? | 16:32 |
| dury | it was really fashion and reliable | 16:32 |
| spaceninja | is there a graphical app to configure fstab? | 16:32 |
| bazhang | dury either compile yourself or get audacious | 16:32 |
| Intangir | dury: you can still install it | 16:32 |
| jerbear | spaceninja: gvim ;) | 16:32 |
| CShadowRun | jerbear i mean like, so when something is printed out or something is outputted, it shows the time next to it | 16:32 |
| Intangir | dury: you can get the package, ill link it just a sec | 16:32 |
| CShadowRun | So you can work out a timescale on errors being produced | 16:32 |
| jerbear | CShadowRun: ls -l | 16:32 |
| Intangir | dury: ya and screw audacious | 16:32 |
| Intangir | it sucks | 16:32 |
| dury | ok | 16:32 |
| MidasWS | When I'm in a dir how do I remove all the subdirs and files in it: rm -fvx *.* ? | 16:32 |
| spaceninja | jerbear: there should be a app for fstab | 16:33 |
| jerbear | MidasWS: -r | 16:33 |
| CShadowRun | jerbear how does ... outputting the contents of a folder help me? >.> | 16:33 |
| jerbear | spaceninja: it's a simple text file | 16:33 |
| jerbear | CShadowRun: i don't understand what you're asking | 16:33 |
| arakthor | CShadowRun, jerbear: Do you mean having it display the time whnever you get a prompt in a terminal? | 16:34 |
| CShadowRun | jerbear you use IRC, you know what a time stamp is right? | 16:34 |
| designerman | How can I view my ip address etc? | 16:34 |
| CShadowRun | When someone types, it's prefixed with the time that the typed it. | 16:34 |
| krulle | hellow $µ | 16:34 |
| jerbear | CShadowRun: yes | 16:34 |
| CShadowRun | this is a timestamp --> [16:34:19] [CShadowRun] When someone types, it's prefixed with the time that the typed it. | 16:34 |
| MidasWS | ty jerbear | 16:34 |
| krulle | beryl voor de nieuwe linux | 16:34 |
| CShadowRun | I want timestamps in the terminal. | 16:34 |
| krulle | hoe heet dat ?? | 16:34 |
| jerbear | CShadowRun: you said you wanted to see the times when you listed files | 16:34 |
| spaceninja | jerbear: yes, but I want to do everything with graphical apps | 16:34 |
| spaceninja | but I guess there isn't one | 16:34 |
| douye | krulle, compiz ? | 16:34 |

| Moppa^ | MidasWS just * | 16:37 |
| jerbear | spaceninja: ubuntu is about as close as you get, but as you get more into your system, the more you'll have to do in the command line | 16:37 |
| spaceninja | jerbear: yes, but linux wont beat windows until everything has rock solid graphical gui configuration | 16:37 |

| octoberdan | spaceninja: Despite the goal of windows to beat Gnu/Linux and MacOS | 16:38 |
| octoberdan | I'm sorry, *Microsoft ;-) | 16:38 |
| jerbear | spaceninja: it's already a better OS, it just has a higher learning curve | 16:38 |
| punzada | ^^ | 16:38 |

| dury | it's not bad audacious | 16:39 |
| gordonjcp | spaceninja: why should everything have graphical admin? | 16:40 |
| spaceninja | the thing is that I've used a distro which everything is configured through the terminal by editing config files. Now I just wanted to see if there is a distro that does EVERYTHING through graphical apps | 16:40 |
| octoberdan | bazhang: And #ubuntuforum is also for random chatter ;-) | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | spaceninja: that would make it really hard to use | 16:40 |

| rsk | Radit: wtf? | 16:41 |
| Radit | does hardy heron not use gnome splash screens? | 16:41 |
| Trae | But when I try and switch between "None Normal and Extra" I get "Desktop effects could not be enabled." | 16:41 |
| john__ | 3~ | 16:41 |

| rsk | Radit: but you can disable it. | 16:41 |
| Pici | Trae: What video card do you have? | 16:41 |
| octoberdan | dury: set it up as a "preffered application" I believe. I'm not using Gnome so I can't double check | 16:42 |

| benovic | Auto BCC does not work in Evolution Ubuntu (Hardy). is there a solution for this bug? | 16:43 |

| dury | octoberdan: what you mean | 16:43 |
| hiptobecubic | Is there a way to prevent applications from starting automatically when you plug in devices? | 16:43 |

| hiptobecubic | when i plug in a camera, cheese opens. when i plug in my ipod, rhythmbox opens. it's terrible | 16:44 |
| douye | octoberdan, whats the command then to start firefox ? "firefox %s" ? | 16:44 |

| gordonjcp | pwolfe: is it specific to Ubuntu? | 16:58 |

| pwolfe | i configured another machine the same way, but ubuntu 7.04. now this 8.04 box freezes. I have a thread open in the networking section of the ubuntu forums that explains it a bit better | 16:59 |
| Kl4m | Trae: this is a weird filename but it's valid. You'll need a lot of \ to refer to it on a command line | 17:00 |
| arakthor | eh, Pici, sorry to bother, but I'm reading the man page for dash - if I use variables (eg. home=/place) it's unclear whether dash expects $home or ${home} to retrieve the value later on - do you know? | 17:00 |
| enixar | could some one tell me the shortcut to expand my desktop? | 17:00 |
| Pici | arakthor: I dont. Sorry. You can change the symlink for /bin/sh to point to /bin/bash instead of dash if you really like | 17:01 |
| spaceninja | dury: what's definitely linux? :) | 17:01 |
| Hohlraum | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12247/ | 17:01 |

| Pici | christoz: is there? | 17:01 |
| Pici | er, Dr_willis ? | 17:01 |
| Dr_willis | Pici, i think its 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash' (or was it sh, or dash) | 17:01 |
| dury | spaceninja: its future | 17:01 |
| Pici | christoz: Did something wrong happen when doing the upgrade? | 17:01 |

| dimedo | is it normal, that firefox does not trust the CA which i have enabled through installation of the ca-certificates packet? (for example CAcert class 3) | 17:02 |

| livingdaylight | is the default network manager in Ubuntu the best of the network managers? When i boot up in my laptop to ubuntu the wireless manager sometimes hooks up right away(within seconds) and other times it just swirls and swirls and swirls around and around until eventually a wep key dialog pops up and asks me for the password again. Then it will swirl and swirl around again until is asks me for the wep key again... I | 17:02 |
| dury | spaceninja: make all together the effort to compete with microsoft | 17:02 |

| vlt | Hello. I installed Ubuntu using the CD installer. I chose the suggested option "shrinks existing NTFS on /dev/hda1". GRUB installed fine and I can boot Ubuntu (from hda5/hd(0,4)). But when I select "Windows XP" I get "Can't read ... Press Ctrl+Alt+Del" from NTLDR. | 17:35 |
| vlt | When I restore the first 63 sectors bytes of hda (everything before hda1) Windows boots. But as soon as I create a 2nd partition (even without installing GRUB) Windows boot fails. Any idea what went wrong and how to fix it? | 17:35 |

| sshock | It will be doing site-to-site vpn, among other things. | 17:38 |
| vlt | gordonjcp: Yes, I completely restored the first 63 sectors, so the partition table was restored, too. There's only hda1 now and Windows boots. The size of the NTFS is actually half, so at least this part of the partitioning process worked. Now I tried to create the 2nd partition for Ubuntu manually (not touching anything else in the boot area), but Windows doens't boot. Any idea? | 17:38 |

| AtomicMongoose | the interface is sort of.. stupid. it don't save changes unless you tab through everything | 17:48 |
| Zombocom | ah vlt there is a chance when editing the ntfs partition that it gets damaged | 17:48 |
| Kl4m | Zombocom: did you filter the package list? | 17:48 |
| AtomicMongoose | look for something call New Network in the networks list, I bet your setup is there | 17:48 |
| Zombocom | Kl4m no clue what that means | 17:48 |
| douye | zombocom: you checked your settings of the synaptic ? | 17:49 |
| Zombocom | douye hold on | 17:49 |
| Kl4m | Zombocom: in synaptic there are buttons bottom left to filter the packages by state | 17:49 |

| European-African | hey, I downloaded the 7.10 alternative iso, but my cd burner is broken. Does anyone know of a method of mounting the iso and then booting into it as if it where running of a cd? | 18:12 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | no can do | 18:12 |
| Morph3us | nullie, i don't know what's wrong.. (i am newbie) | 18:12 |
| Slart | European-African: I don't think it's possible | 18:12 |
| koheleth | does no one know how to get the slab menu as stadard then? | 18:12 |
| koheleth | must be there somewhere | 18:12 |
| gordonjcp | European-African: dd it to a USB stick? | 18:13 |
| tim167 | what does "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot" mean ? | 18:13 |
| TheOV | sadiel: in system -> preferences -> sound, and it should show up as CA0106 or something | 18:13 |
| gordonjcp | koheleth: what's a "slab menu"? | 18:13 |
| koheleth | http://news.opensuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/gnome-slab.png | 18:13 |
| koheleth | that | 18:13 |
| European-African | gordonjcp: what, the contents of the iso? | 18:13 |
| gordonjcp | tim167: it means just what it says | 18:13 |
| Philh | tim167, it means the machine wasn't hibernated and it's booting normally | 18:13 |
| gordonjcp | European-African: the actual iso itself | 18:13 |
| European-African | and then | 18:13 |
| sadiel | TheOV: thanks, gonna tweak with that! | 18:14 |
| piju_ | hello, can i ask something ? | 18:14 |
| Ali_ix | koheleth: install gimmie package, and add it to gnoem-bar | 18:14 |
| Tyczek | can you tell me which version of rtorrent is in hardy? | 18:14 |
| Philh | piju_, no | 18:14 |
| European-African | gordonjcp: and then | 18:14 |
| gordonjcp | tim167: there isn't a resume image, so the kernel is booting normally | 18:14 |
| TheOV | sadiel: also, you can apt-get install alsaconf-gtk, and then it will show up in the preferences menu as "Default Sound Card", and then you can select the card from a dropdown menu | 18:14 |
| gordonjcp | European-African: and then boot off it | 18:14 |
| tim167 | Philh: but it doesnt load the desktop, it stays empty | 18:14 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | piju_ | 18:14 |
| ubottu | piju_: 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. :-) | 18:14 |
| vandeilson | oii | 18:14 |
| piju_ | Philh; ok | 18:14 |
| Ali_ix | koheleth: it is similar: http://beatniksoftware.com/gimmie/Main_Page | 18:14 |
| sadiel | Thanks a lot TheOV | 18:14 |
| tim167 | gordonjcp: its not booting really, the desktop doesnt load... | 18:14 |
| gordonjcp | European-African: might not work, but it might be worth a shot | 18:14 |
| Philh | tim167, that's probably unrelated to the message you're reporting | 18:14 |
| koheleth | Ali_ix, thanks | 18:14 |
| ramukmar | koheleth: you'll want to install gnome-main-menu, gimmie is similar but not the slab menu you're looking for | 18:15 |
| === ahubl is now known as gramps | ||
| piju_ | ok, i see the difference between gutsy and hardy ? | 18:15 |
| gordonjcp | tim167: the desktop not loading isn't the same as not booting | 18:15 |
| European-African | ok | 18:15 |
| piju_ | why hardy use pulseaudio ? | 18:15 |
| Morph3us | nullie, here is my xorg.0.log http://www.pastebin.ca/1019209 | 18:15 |
| koheleth | ramukmar, is it not in ubuntu then? | 18:15 |
| === gramps is now known as grumpygramps | ||
| ramukmar | koheleth: it is in the repos | 18:15 |
| Morph3us | piju_, yes, hardy uses pulseaudio | 18:15 |
| * Linxster-brb- Hi all i need help i am running Ubunt desk top on my server box i never used linux of any kind at all i need help getting php my sql apache plus a | 18:15 | |
| * Linxster-brb- t like a pc no ftp at all as of yet | 18:15 | |
| tim167 | gordonjcp, ok, any idea how i can get the desktop to load ? | 18:15 |
| koheleth | ok | 18:15 |
| European-African | gordonjcp: how about mounting the iso and then copying the contents to the usb, then booting from it? | 18:16 |
| piju_ | Morph3us; why pulseaudio ? why not alsa ? | 18:16 |
| Pici | Linxster-brb-: Please dont send your questions as /me actions | 18:16 |
| * Linxster-brb- i didn't use /me sorry | 18:16 | |
| Morph3us | piju_, i don't know exactly why, i head that pulseaudio is more advanced that alsa.. | 18:16 |
| Ali_ix | Linxster-brb-: you are using that already | 18:17 |
| gordonjcp | European-African: you'd need to make it bootable, but that would work | 18:17 |
| grumpygramps | Linxster-brb-: Goto System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, then go to Edit > Mark Packages by Task, and check on LAMP server, then click okay, and then apply | 18:17 |
| piju_ | Morph3us; means uses more memory than alsa ? | 18:17 |
| TheOV | Morph3us: pulseaudio uses alsa | 18:17 |
| European-African | gordonjcp: ok thanx | 18:17 |
| Morph3us | thanks TheOV | 18:17 |
| TheOV | Morph3us: pulseaudio takes care of all (or most) sound streams, and outputs them through ASLA | 18:18 |
| TheOV | *ALSA | 18:18 |
| TheOV | it allows multiple streams, etc. | 18:18 |
| Xsploit | so using wubi, is there a way to get my files from windows onto ubuntu ? | 18:18 |
| teleyinex | hi, everyone | 18:18 |

| tim167 | gordonjcp: its just an empty desktop with mouse cursor, in the terminal (ctrl+alt+1) i saw aforementioned message... | 18:21 |

| gordonjcp | tim167: X-shaped cursor, and "tread plate" background? | 18:22 |
| tim167 | gordonjcp: no the ubuntu sandcolor and normal cursor | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | oh ok | 18:23 |
| grumpygramps | Linxster-brb-: it will download and install the packages for apache, mysql, and php. I believe the web root is /var/www/ although I think you need root access to that directory to move and edit files there | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | does it get as far as letting you log in? | 18:23 |
| tim167 | gordonjcp: yes this is after logging in | 18:23 |

| TheOV | not alsa-control | 18:27 |
| sadiel | oh, ok | 18:27 |
| Zombocom | TheOV your tip didn't work | 18:28 |
| grumpygramps | Rampage: It could be a new thing, but I thought that (ignoring UbuntuStudio), Ubuntu disks were only CDs. | 18:28 |

| TheOV | sadiel: those are the soundfonts available for ubuntu | 19:03 |
| pen | ringer, this fixed my wireless LED, but messed up my sound LED | 19:03 |
| TheOV | and they work | 19:03 |
| bombuxp | grumpygramps: I didn't try that because I assumed they already were. | 19:03 |
| tim167 | when i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it ONLY configures my keyboard, how come ? | 19:04 |
| bombuxp | I thought that was why they showed up in places in the first place | 19:04 |
| ringer | pen: and your sound led worked perfectly before the wireless fix? | 19:04 |
| bombuxp | I'll try that then | 19:04 |
| ringer | pen: try uninstalling that package and taking a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83789 | 19:04 |

| Xsploit | so using wubi, is there a way to get my files from windows onto ubuntu ? | 19:05 |
| grumpygramps | bombuxp: which means that if you mount the drives "normally", then /etc/mtab will have the proper entries for your drives, so you can copy/paste into /etc/fstab | 19:05 |
| Xcell | tim167: did you allow it to fix itself in recovery? | 19:05 |
| ringer | pen: i have to take off now, but im sure there are about a hundred other people in here that know more about this than me. Good luck with fixing the LED! | 19:05 |
| tim167 | Xcell: how do i do that ? | 19:05 |

| [Lowkey] | Could somebody help me play music in Internet DJ Console? | 19:06 |
| bombuxp | it's not in mtab even though I can access it | 19:06 |
| Xcell | tim167: when you reboot..keep hitting the escape button...this will allow you to go to recovery kernel...once in there do the prompt..and it will ask if you want to fix (X) | 19:07 |
| sadiel | TheOV: I have already a lot of soundfont banks. I use to use them running jack and qsynth. Seems not to be working right now, so I got to either fix the qsynth issues or upload the soundfonts directy to the sound card and use the sound card for midi Playback. Have you been able to use the Audigy for "hardware" midi playback (not software emulated one, like using Timidity or Qsynth). If not, I guess I will just have to find the way to fix Qsynth... | 19:07 |

| jimdb | hey, i have a question about how to change the name of the icon on the desktop for the drives that are mounted via the gnome-volume-manager. seems when you select the places menu unmounted volumes are listed there . When you select one it will mount it on your desktop. the problem is that it uses the capacity to describe the mounted volume. I want to give it a more human name that represents the true nature of the volume. I've mounte | 19:59 |

| mad_max02 | NTpspE, what gives signal to ur monitor then ? | 20:43 |
| fooks | has all the dust cleared for us gutsy users? | 20:43 |

| NTpspE | mad_max02: thats what i got told when i bought the laptop | 20:43 |
| mad_max02 | fooks, its more than safe. | 20:43 |
| NTpspE | max | 20:43 |
| nikin | Nuno_Martins: not at default.. you can install one.. but if not nescesarry dont do that | 20:43 |

| fooks | gutsy still seems pretty rock solid to me | 20:44 |
| mad_max02 | NTpspE, then I suppose u didnt install proper graphic drivers. | 20:44 |
| soundray | Nuno_Martins: if you want to administer your server graphically, you can install the ubuntu-desktop package when you've done the server installation. Or you can install the regular desktop and add LAMP or whatever server software you need afterwards. | 20:44 |

| soundray | larsbars: firefox shouldn't hog the CPU. If it does, exit, start it with 'firefox -safe-mode'. If it doesn't hog the CPU then, it's an add-on that's at fault. | 21:09 |
| Lynet | Annirak: Is eth1 your wan interface? | 21:09 |
| Eins7ein | I can only get to the login screen if I go into recovery mode and type telinit 3 | 21:09 |
| yowshi | odd that always works for me. it resets it into the default low graphics mode and then i install the third party drivers | 21:09 |
| soundray | larsbars: which version of Ubuntu are you running? | 21:09 |
| larsbars | soundray: thanks | 21:10 |
| larsbars | hardy | 21:10 |
| Eins7ein | 7.10 | 21:10 |
| Eins7ein | gutsy | 21:10 |
| larsbars | the thing about the c2 state bothers me more. debian used to stay in c3 nearly all the time, and now i'm in c2 66% of the time (unless firefox is running, of course :) | 21:10 |
| Annirak | Lynet Yes | 21:10 |
| soundray | larsbars: hardy has all energy-saving features on all architectures (gutsy was lagging on amd64). Once you cure your firefox problem, you should be fine. | 21:11 |
| mateusz_g | now checking gxchat | 21:11 |
| mateusz_g | nice program | 21:11 |
| aarcane | where do I get firefox 2 so my plugins work again ? | 21:11 |

| Starnestommy | vegombrei: fbi imagename | 21:11 |
| larsbars | soundray: i have this problem without firefox :( | 21:11 |
| soundray | larsbars: oh, I see. Maybe install bum and disable any services/daemons you don't need. | 21:11 |
| monestri | Can anyone tell me why hardy goes to a blank screen that's froen/hanging after x amount of minutes idle? Only recovery is ctrl + alt + backspace | 21:12 |

| vegombrei | oh .. how do i switch directories and hdd's thru terminal ... cd/music ? | 21:12 |
| soundray | larsbars: also consider enabling laptop-mode in /etc/default/acpi-support | 21:12 |
| vegombrei | cd/documents | 21:12 |
| larsbars | weird. i thought i had that enabled. what's bum? | 21:12 |
| soundray | monestri: maybe it's crashing on a screensaver. Disable screensaver or switch to blank screen only | 21:12 |

| soundf_ | ? | 21:13 |
| mateusz_g | is it possible to turn it on? | 21:13 |
| soundf_ | what? | 21:13 |
| Starnestommy | vegombrei: mount the other hard disk first | 21:13 |

| soundray | monestri: is anything enabled in System-Preferences-Power Management? | 21:14 |
| marciofrayze2 | vegombrei, , use "cd directory" to change to another directory... use "ls" to list the files and directorys. | 21:14 |
| Starnestommy | vegombrei: it's probably already mounted | 21:14 |
| monestri | nm found it, it was putting it to sleep after 30 minutes | 21:15 |
| monestri | I guess it can't recover from sleep | 21:15 |
| monestri | i thought I disabled that though | 21:15 |
| monestri | Well, on a related note, why do I get a blank screen on ctrl + alt +f1? | 21:15 |
| soundray | monestri: if you want to fix that, play with settings in /etc/default/acpi-support | 21:15 |
| m4lu5 | SO. I'm a recent convert to Ubuntu on my laptop at home, and I ~inadvertantly upgraded the openssh stuff last night you know, the stuff that fixed the Debian ssl bug ..... um. well. my OpenVPN connection to the office no longer works. I understand why, openssl-vulnkey is rejecting the key I use for my openvpn connection.... | 21:15 |
| soundray | monestri: perhaps your video setup is incompatible with Ubuntu's default text mode. | 21:16 |

| vegombrei | oh is it case sensitive ? | 21:17 |
| Starnestommy | it is | 21:17 |
| psyco | Has anyone install "Frameworks" its a stop motion animation program | 21:17 |
| monestri | oh thanks, i've been looking to disable the acpi stuff | 21:17 |

| yowshi | can someone please help me get sound back on my system | 21:18 |
| Starnestommy | mateusz_g: is this working? | 21:18 |
| yowshi | please i have no idea how it broke but it aint working now | 21:18 |
| monestri | mateusz_g, you need client like mirc | 21:18 |
| Gantz | what does "sudo modprobe uniput" accomplish? | 21:18 |
| mateusz_g | yes, i see your nick highlighted | 21:18 |
| Starnestommy | Gantz: it loads the uniput module into the kernel | 21:18 |
| mateusz_g | gush | 21:18 |
| Starnestommy | mateusz_g: just say someone else's nick in a message | 21:19 |
| mateusz_g | it seems that only when i send to myself i doesn't highlight it | 21:19 |
| soundray | monestri: be careful, some machines are known to overheat when you disable ACPI | 21:19 |
| CarlFK | http://dpaste.com/50294/ why don't I have ssh-vulnkey? (and why is -client and -server kept back?) | 21:19 |
| mateusz_g | mateusz_g: test | 21:19 |
| Annirak | Lynet: Positive. I'm using the fastwan IP directly | 21:19 |
| mateusz_g | yup | 21:19 |
| soundray | monestri: better to check if you can fix your DSDT with iasl. Tutorials abound on the web | 21:19 |
| mateusz_g | when you send it it highlights correctly, thanks | 21:19 |
| Gantz | Starnestommy: it doesn't seem to want to do that, or its just not confirming such | 21:19 |
| vegombrei | Starnestommy: how do i change hdd ? cd (hdd name) ? | 21:19 |
| larsbars | soundray: i did all that and the fan finally stopped running continuously. q: which of powernowd or cpufreqd is better? neither? powertop still shows me in C2 most of the time, even without firefox. safe mode didn't change anything. | 21:19 |
| Starnestommy | Gantz: if that command does not output anything, it worked | 21:19 |
| david___ | Anyone know a good place to start, when i am trying to get my ATI 9600 drivers up and running for Hardy Heron? | 21:19 |
| Gantz | oho k | 21:20 |
| mateusz_g | Starnestommy: thanks! | 21:20 |
| Starnestommy | vegombrei: that depends on where it's mounted. It's usually somewhere in /media | 21:20 |
| mateusz_g | what do you with about OSS versus ALSA? | 21:20 |
| vegombrei | hmm ok | 21:20 |
| scoopex_ | when i installed ubuntu i wanst asked for any root password, is there any standard "start" password ? | 21:20 |
| mateusz_g | *think* | 21:20 |
| soundray | larsbars: I can't say anything about the comparative merits of the two frequency managers. | 21:20 |
| Starnestommy | scoopex_: there isn't one | 21:20 |
| Fishscene | !sudo | scoopex_ | 21:20 |
| ubottu | scoopex_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 21:20 |
| psyco | What is a "man page" ?? | 21:20 |
| Gnine | manual | 21:21 |
| hydrogen | !man | 21:21 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 21:21 |
| Starnestommy | psyco: a manual page shown using the man command | 21:21 |
| soundray | psyco: type 'man man' in a terminal and you'll learn | 21:21 |
| mateusz_g | psyco: go to applications/terminal | 21:21 |
| david___ | The drivers worked untill i upgraded to this new ubuntu version now i cant get direct rendering back again | 21:21 |
| psyco | ahh thanks guys | 21:21 |
| yowshi | oh wow i found it p[ulseaudio was tieing up my sound shit | 21:21 |

| mateusz_g | psyco: *applications/accesories/terminal* | 21:21 |
| Lynet | Annirak: Hmm.. Does logs/tcpdump show that the nat box drops the packets instead of forwarding them? | 21:22 |
| scoopex_ | thanks guys :) | 21:22 |
| mateusz_g | psyco: you can for example write: man ls | 21:23 |
| psyco | Yup figured it out :D | 21:23 |

| Fishscene | lol Shdwstar | 21:24 |
| arno-t | hi all can someone tell me how to load a specific module when alsa loads? I have to do "sudo modprobe snd_bt_sco" after every boot... | 21:24 |
| james1213 | virtualbox seems to only support x86 and exchange server 2007 is 64bit | 21:24 |

| === Leeroy is now known as Nick78 | ||
| Fishscene | James1213, how does VMware not support it? | 21:24 |
| james1213 | theres no option for it as a vm | 21:24 |

| Shdwstar | www.virtualbox.com | 21:25 |
| james1213 | but it does not work says operating system not found | 21:25 |
| james1213 | or the once it worked said no hard drive detected | 21:25 |

| mateusz_g | so what do you think about OSS vs. ALSA? | 21:25 |
| Fishscene | james1213, what version of VMware? | 21:25 |
| Lynet | Annirak: Well, rule looks fine so I'm thinking there might be something else screwy. Does the appliance have default gateway set correctly? | 21:25 |

| larsbars | soundray: i'm just using the intel i810, or whatever they changed it to | 21:27 |
| Fishscene | james1213, I'm not sure then. If an OS isn't listed by VMware, I usually "fake it" by selecting another OS. But I'm now horribly off-topic. I'm not familiar with Linux/Opensource Virtualization solutions. =\ | 21:27 |
| david___ | yes i downloaded and installed but fglrxinfo still shows Mesa something or another | 21:27 |
| david___ | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect | 21:28 |
| james1213 | fishscene thats why i chose VIsta 64bit and server 2008 64bit | 21:28 |
| Annirak | Lynet, I have no idea. The other ports I have forwarded appear to work. I'm also forwarding 5002,5003 to the appliance, both are open both in and outside. | 21:28 |
| soundray | david___: you should go through System-Administration-Hardware Drivers to install the ATI proprietary driver | 21:28 |
| james1213 | but unfortunatly it didnt work on either | 21:28 |
| soundray | larsbars: that should be good | 21:28 |

| james1213 | NO OPerating SYstem FOund | 21:28 |
| Fishscene | hmm... I'm at the end of my rope then | 21:28 |
| Annirak | Lynet: I am forwarding port 431 as well. It's closed inside, but shows up as filtered outside. Could it be something to do with the port being a low-numbered port? | 21:29 |
| scoopex_ | Is there any programs like LimeWire for ubuntu? | 21:29 |
| Lynet | Annirak: Hmm, if other ports work fine from outside then it isn't a routing issue. Could be some firewall rules interfering? | 21:29 |

| james1213 | scoopex limewire is available on linux | 21:30 |
| Fishscene | I can't recommend limewire for anyone. =( | 21:30 |
| soundray | !limewire | scoopex_ | 21:30 |
| ubottu | scoopex_: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. | 21:31 |

| james1213 | I want to be able to be prompted at outbound connections, so I know whats going on with my system | 21:31 |
| james1213 | like a 3rd party firewall in windows | 21:31 |

| KlrSpz | james1213: not sure if it does it, but check out firewall | 21:31 |

| james1213 | perhaps thats why its easy to hack once your on a linux box | 21:39 |
| Chapai | james1213:- i feel the opposite, | 21:39 |
| alado2 | can anyone recommend another browser than firefox, in the ubuntu repos | 21:39 |
| ompaul | !epiphany | alado2 | 21:39 |
| Chapai | epiphany-browser alado2 | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Factoid epiphany not found | 21:39 |
| james1213 | seeing as the average user does not know what running on linux/supposed to be running, doesnt look at current connection, once youve hacked linux its much easy to maintain the hack | 21:39 |
| james1213 | with windows its becoming the opposite | 21:39 |
| james1213 | of course the thing is hacking it in the first place | 21:40 |
| kakoonia | hey.. i got a problem with switching to ttyX where x is 1-6 the screen resolution misfeets it.. is there a way to change this for tty? | 21:40 |
| james1213 | is the problem | 21:40 |
| sidelil | alado2, epiphany-browser, galeon | 21:40 |
| KlrSpz | completely OT, but has anyone personally built a shed before? | 21:40 |
| james1213 | chapai, I feel like I know linux isnt doing anything I don't know about | 21:40 |
| james1213 | btw is your name a reference from stargate? | 21:41 |
| KlrSpz | james1213: lol, then you're mistaken | 21:41 |
| scoopex_ | how can i connect to server.slsknet.org:2240 at nicotine? ore is there any other sever i should use? | 21:41 |

| ubottu | KlrSpz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:41 |
| whileimhere | hi. I want to write some doc files for a python-GLADE app is there a program to assist me in this in ubuntu? | 21:41 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | KlrSpz totally offtopic | 21:41 |
| ubottu | KlrSpz totally offtopic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:41 |
| Chapai | james1213:- i agree, the control i have over my other ubuntu box is huge | 21:41 |
| esj1234 | need pointers to solve wifi problem wifi was detected with 7.10 but not 8.04 need to use ndis with windows driver | 21:41 |
| james1213 | klrspz,. linux is monitoring everything i do? reporting it to the givernment? | 21:41 |
| james1213 | and the opposite is true with windows? | 21:41 |
| simplexio | :) | 21:41 |
| esj1234 | but don't where to gind driver | 21:41 |
| james1213 | control is huge, you can do everything you want to Linux, of course a great thing | 21:42 |

| evilbug | did anyone have to do something to get their video working flawlessly aside from installing the restricted driver on ati or nvidia? (gutsy and/or hardy) | 21:42 |
| Lynet | Annirak: Sorry, not really sure what the problem is. It looks like it should work, but it doesn't. | 21:42 |
| KlrSpz | well, that topic is completely unrelated to what you stated; and yes, there are applications that monitor what you do and phone home | 21:42 |
| james1213 | fishscene I know why Linux is better, | 21:42 |

| Annirak | Lynet: I don't know how to do that | 21:44 |
| evilbug | jason_1- doesn't fix anything. | 21:44 |
| james1213 | fishscene how long have you used Linux? | 21:44 |
| simplexio | frieze: 64bit is probably bit faster under 4G little bit more faster over 4G ram | 21:44 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: video? oh, thought you meant working with the compiz stuff.. what problems are you having with video? and yeah as jason_1 said mplayer is nice, and what i use | 21:44 |
| poomalai | today i have got a problem with openSSH | 21:44 |

| evilbug | KlrSpz- video is laggy in general.i installed the restricted drivers and restricted extras but video playback sucks either way in ubuntu. | 21:45 |
| Fishscene | james1213, I've been using Ubuntu 8 HH since release on a laptop. | 21:45 |
| Fishscene | I've been dipping my toes in the linux waters for over a year now | 21:45 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: paste your xorg.conf in a pastebin | 21:45 |
| james1213 | evilbug, VLC Player plays everything fine for me including 1080p x264 | 21:45 |
| burnerwarrior008 | esj1234, ive googled a few days long and found absolutely nothing :( its annoying | 21:45 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: even though you install a restricted driver doesnt' mean you're using it | 21:46 |
| poomalai | when i connect using command ssh -p 33 poomalai.homelinux.com, it says connection refused | 21:46 |
| jason_1 | evilbug, hd movies will eat cpu | 21:46 |
| esj1234 | it worked for me on 7.10 | 21:46 |
| evilbug | james1213- i like vlc | 21:46 |
| Chapai | you are not specifying what problem you are having poomalai | 21:46 |
| james1213 | in windows Media Player classic is slightly better than VLC | 21:46 |
| james1213 | so i usually watch things in Windows | 21:46 |

| evilbug | i like vlc,winamp,itunes. | 21:47 |
| esj1234 | burnerwarrior008: auto detect, install driver and everything 8.04 no a thing | 21:47 |
| evilbug | KlrSpz- one sec. | 21:47 |
| poomalai | when i use command ssh 192.168.1.5 it works | 21:47 |
| james1213 | vlc, mpc, power dvd | 21:47 |

| zethero1 | ? | 21:48 |
| KlrSpz | zethero1: what hdd info do you need? | 21:48 |
| Chapai | why did you put -p 33 in the first one, did you specify port 33 in sshd_config poomalai | 21:48 |
| simplexio | zethero1: ? define hdd info | 21:49 |
| jason_1 | simplexio, i always svn and compile my own stuff, i have some speical options compile it with. | 21:49 |

| burnerwarrior008 | esj1234, ive got a "avm fritz!wlan usb stick" as wlan device. the notebooks boots with ubuntu 8.04 perfectly, drives is loaded too. when i try to connect to my own wlan ubuntu simply stops doing anything. i cxant start programms or open files or even reboot... | 21:49 |
| poomalai | yes. 192.168.1.5 is my local ip and poomalai.homelinux.com is dyndns domain. I want to access my machine anywhere using internet. So i created dyndns account and pointed the domain to my 192.168.1.5 | 21:49 |
| arthur | Question? how come when i type users in terminal my login shows up twice? | 21:49 |
| simplexio | jason_1: i compiled it when ubntu f** something with it | 21:49 |
| PriceChild | arthur: each gnome-terminal counts a seperate login | 21:49 |
| KlrSpz | zethero1: well you can do "dmesg | grep sd" or replace with "hd" for ide channels; if it's mounted already type "mount" | 21:49 |
| lappy198 | http://dump.myskul.net/files/gnomepanel.png <-- is it possible to make the panel under the applets to be transparent? | 21:50 |

| simplexio | i dont have anymore intres to compile all from source.. reason why i selected ubuntu for my destop | 21:50 |
| Fishscene | poomalai, that sounds like a non-routable IP address. Are you sure your internet (WAN) IP address is that IP? | 21:50 |
| esj1234 | burnerwarrior008: hmm lockups like that are rare | 21:50 |
| Chapai | why did you specify -p 33 when using the dns poomalai | 21:50 |
| KlrSpz | zethero1: serial disk | 21:50 |
| arthur | i just rebooted thats normal? | 21:50 |
| KlrSpz | sda, sdb, etc etc | 21:50 |

| slackpipe | poomalai: you want to point your dyndns to your internet ip, then have your router route the ports you need to your local ip | 21:51 |
| burnerwarrior008 | esj1234, since now noone was able to help me :( internet via cable works fine, but wlan hangs up | 21:51 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: that's your ati card -- unfortunately i know nothing about ATI in linux | 21:51 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: but it looks ok | 21:51 |
| zethero1 | KlrSpz: isn't there an fdisk command? | 21:51 |
| poomalai | I thought it might be a problem with port. So that i changd it and configured ssh configuration file too. When i used default port 22, i faced the same problem. | 21:51 |
| KlrSpz | zethero1: yes, but you have to give it a device first; if you're asking what the path is, then it's useless | 21:52 |
| evilbug | KlrSpz- i see. | 21:52 |
| james1213 | slackpipe how does dyndns keep the host upto date with ur IP changes? | 21:52 |
| CITguy08 | has anybody been able to fix the libjli.so error when trying to run java? | 21:52 |
| jason_1 | KlrSpz, live? | 21:52 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: see if there's options in VLC (i know there are in mplayer) to choose a rendering engine; some perform better than others | 21:52 |
| esj1234 | burnerwarrior008: try bringing up a term window before connecting wifi. in that window, run tail -f /var/log/syslog | 21:52 |

| Chapai | you are using a router, so forward the port in the router poomalai | 21:52 |
| KlrSpz | jason_1 i meant makes life good | 21:52 |
| KlrSpz | life is good | 21:52 |
| jason_1 | oh right | 21:52 |
| slackpipe | james1213: with some modems you'd have to setup a bridge to the router to do that | 21:52 |
| burnerwarrior008 | esj1234, ok, ill try. notebook is running right now (im working with pc ;) ) | 21:52 |
| esj1234 | burnerwarrior008: connect, watcdh the logs and see of anything jumps out at you | 21:52 |
| poomalai | James, my router has in-built dyndns client and it sends my public ip whenever it changes, | 21:53 |
| james1213 | slackpipe, what information? just the host your using as a dyndns and login info or? | 21:53 |
| jason_1 | life sucks, espeically in america, watch sicko | 21:53 |
| p_ | hi -- doe anyone know what happened to gnome-keyring-manager in hardy? | 21:53 |
| evilbug | KlrSpz- would that be an issue since every media player gives me the same video results? | 21:53 |
| KlrSpz | jason_1, my life is doing fine :) | 21:53 |
| p_ | launchpad says it is "superceded" but it doesn't say by what | 21:53 |
| poomalai | chapai. I already done that | 21:53 |
| p_ | and I want to see my gnome keyring keys. | 21:53 |
| slackpipe | james1213: on my router i think you just pick dyndns and then put your un/pw in, it takes care of the rest | 21:53 |
| poomalai | As i told you, I was able to access my machine through internet when i used gusty | 21:53 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: honestly, i don't know? i have a 486 at home that's running xubuntu and can playback videos just fine with an onboard videocard... | 21:53 |

| afallenhope | I'm trying to install apache + php running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and anytime I create a PHP page.. It asks me to download that page.. | 21:54 |
| KlrSpz | evilbug: you have a swap space set up? | 21:54 |
| Chapai | when you change the port restart the ssh server | 21:54 |
| KlrSpz | (just thinking of ideas) | 21:54 |
| Fishscene | Poomalai, is your router routing the port to your computer's LAN IP address? | 21:54 |
| Chapai | when you change the port restart the ssh server poomalai | 21:54 |
| evilbug | KlrSpz- yes. | 21:54 |
| poomalai | yes i did | 21:55 |
| afallenhope | I've installed APACHE + PHP the following methods: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 | 21:55 |
| thisusernamewasm | Mp3 stopped working on rhythmbox, I suspect due to some stuff Aptitude did when I installed an unrelated program a while ago. How do I restore mp3 playback ability? | 21:55 |
| p_ | Fishscene: oh. this isn't what I meant | 21:55 |
| afallenhope | I've even add the type in the apache2.conf file | 21:55 |
| kitche | afallenhope: you have to configure apache so that it understands php files | 21:55 |
| slackpipe | poomalai: go to the dyndns website and see what ip addy the domain is forwarding to | 21:55 |
| p_ | I'm looking for the secrets that network manager keeps. | 21:55 |

| afallenhope | kitche: I put AddType application/x-httpd-php php | 21:56 |

| Chapai | poomalai:- i can reach your ssh server | 21:56 |

| poomalai | really? | 21:56 |
| lordnps | kitche: that will make it workable? | 21:56 |

| iRelinquish | klrspz, why? | 22:01 |
| lordnps | Wrekk: sure thing | 22:01 |
| Wrekk | lordnps, with that prog you can change it... and some other rather nice things :) | 22:01 |
| Dread | does anyone know what the name of the file manager is for AWN file browser applet? | 22:01 |

| daemon3 | I don't like the beta version because flash doesn't work, so I uninstalled it. | 22:02 |
| afallenhope | got it to work..I just had to force-reload then restart | 22:02 |
| daemon3 | But does anyone know why Firefox kicks me out? | 22:02 |
| white_eagle | daemon3: how does it kick you out | 22:02 |
| poomalai | then why i am not able to connect my machine? May i send you my ip? Can u please check that and tell me whether it is working or not, chapai? | 22:02 |
| KlrSpz | iRelinquish: and when i import my bookmarks it's so difficult to get them how i want them; it dumps them in the menu seciton and won't let you move a large section | 22:03 |
| Wrekk | lordnps, you and me both :) ... you gonna love this prog then... you can change grub menu, and loading screen and such | 22:03 |
| daemon3 | white_eagle: Just like if I manually logged out. It just brings me back to the login screen without warning. | 22:03 |
| infidelis | ff 3 works fine with flash, so far | 22:03 |
| Chapai | you have the poomalai.linu..... dns right? | 22:03 |
| poomalai | chapai, 122.164.240.18 is my ip. | 22:03 |

| poomalai | bye folks. | 22:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jason_1: quite offtopic. | 22:10 |
| lordnps | kitche: Firstly it complaints that there-s no XGL accelaration , while my gentoo compiz said it had | 22:10 |
| lordnps | kitche: should I re emerge the 915? | 22:11 |
| kitche | lordnps: do you have XGL installed? | 22:11 |
| AaronH | hisingh1, I sent you a PM | 22:11 |
| jason_1 | so was mplayer and no one complained. | 22:11 |
| kitche | lordnps: now a days though you don't need XGL really | 22:11 |
| lordnps | kitche: do I have to Install it? | 22:11 |
| lordnps | kitche: the main problem isn-t that though | 22:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jason_1: mplayer is a piece of software available in ubuntu, your scrapes are not. therefore it is offtopic. if you want to discuss your healing rates, go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:12 |

| jason_1 | acutally, we were discussing mplayer playing video files. | 22:13 |
| KlrSpz | <3 gentoo | 22:13 |
| kitche | lordnps: see if you have an option in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf that has AIGLX in there someplace if you do not have a nvida card with binary driver | 22:13 |
| lordnps | kitche: I have an Intel 945 | 22:13 |
| jason_1 | and compling it from source, not from the repos, so, it was not ubuntu related. | 22:13 |
| kitche | lordnps: see if you have AIGLX enabled in xorg.conf then | 22:13 |
| lordnps | kitche: ok gonna check, wait a sec | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jason_1: still, talking about your injuries is not an appropriate topic for this channel, end of discussion | 22:14 |
| lordnps | kitche: No... it doesnt have such an option | 22:14 |

| glitch | yeah it worked fine in windows.... | 23:21 |
| soundray | glitch: occasionally, even internal cards use USB, so look at lsusb output | 23:21 |

| clibbl | Hello. I have developed a really odd fault - since a few days ago my computer always starts with the master volume muted. I can't for the life of me find the switch that alters the start state of the volume applet in gnome. I know I could reset gnome by deleting all the home directories from a cli prompt but it's not that big an issue and besides I really want to understand this issue and what's caused it. Any ideas? | 23:23 |
| alado2 | Starnestommy: does it work with the new flash movies? | 23:23 |
| condawg | Hey =] | 23:23 |
| narothepharoh | is it possible to play games with direct x on wine or cedega? | 23:23 |
| Starnestommy | alado2: gnash is open-sourcem but it's a bit lacking in support for newer flash. Older flash should work fine | 23:23 |
| Starnestommy | *open-source, | 23:23 |
| petersaints | hey I need a little help | 23:23 |
| Slart | narothepharoh: yes | 23:23 |
| condawg | Is this the place to ask questions for stuff? | 23:23 |
| Starnestommy | condawg: it is | 23:23 |
| hotmonkeyluv | is there a way that I can make the grub bootloader re-install automagically? | 23:23 |

| petersaints | how can I get IcedTea plugin on it?? | 23:24 |

| lucife1 | hello. I am trying to do a skype conversation with a friend, but that person cannot hear my voice. What can I do with the settings? can anyone help? | 23:24 |
| TheAngryBunny | it suspends fine, but when I try to start it back up I get a white screen that gradually fades to grey | 23:24 |
| condawg | what do I do with !ipod? | 23:25 |
| fugitivo | lucife1, check mic volume and mute | 23:25 |
| condawg | Is that a terminal command? | 23:25 |
| Slart | lucife1: does the "test call" work? | 23:25 |
| condawg | Also, must I use Rockbox? Or can I use the default firmware it comes with? | 23:25 |
| Starnestommy | condawg: read the message that ubottu sent you | 23:25 |
| clibbl | lucife1 you're sure that's not related to the microphone capture settings? | 23:25 |
| glitch | going to do some googling and find out if that card is supported i guess | 23:25 |
| Slart | condawg: the !ipod command was just to make ubotu tell you about ipods etc | 23:25 |
| clibbl | lucife1 under prefs sound I mean | 23:25 |
| soundray | TheAngryBunny: Radeon Xpress 200M? | 23:25 |
| condawg | !ipod | 23:25 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:25 |
| lucife1 | cannot see test call :S | 23:25 |
| hisingh1 | anyone know SSH? | 23:25 |
| condawg | Ah. | 23:25 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: what about it? | 23:25 |
| condawg | Thanks | 23:25 |
| ghindo | condaw: You shouldn't have to use Rockbox unless you want to play FLAC or ogg with your iPod | 23:25 |
| TheAngryBunny | no Geforce FX5200 | 23:25 |
| Slart | condawg: saves us a bit of typing =) | 23:25 |
| condawg | Okay | 23:25 |
| lucife1 | and volime is 100%.. I mean all is full.. | 23:26 |
| lucife1 | donno whats going on | 23:26 |
| condawg | So I don't have to use it? I can use the default firmware on Linux? | 23:26 |
| Slart | condawg: read the links ubottu gave you.. lots of info there.. ask again if anything is unclear | 23:26 |
| soundray | TheAngryBunny: look through the options in /etc/default/acpi-support | 23:26 |
| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy> well, i need to connect to another commputer and i get connection refused | 23:26 |
| ghindo | condawg: Yup, you can use the default firmware. Follow the link to find out more | 23:26 |
| condawg | Awesome =] Thanks | 23:26 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: is that other computer running an ssh server? | 23:26 |
| soundray | TheAngryBunny: in particular, try toggling SAVE_VBE_STATE=true | 23:26 |
| emma | I can start mplayer (or the mozplugger) and have sound. But then if I try to open any other app that has audio (like YouTube) I have no audio. And even after I close mplayer I still have no audio. | 23:27 |
| emma | Any ideas? | 23:27 |
| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy> i dont know, its windows vista. how do i check | 23:27 |
| elro | Is there any way to force apt-get dist-upgrade not to prompt? I still seem to get prompts with `-y` | 23:27 |
| pidus | there was a recent update in ssh that i downloaded from the repo and now i am unable to login to a different user using ssh. How do i fix the changed RSA key? | 23:27 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: vista doesn't use SSH | 23:27 |
| condawg | The link that !ipod gives me doesn't tell me how to get Amarok to recognize it | 23:27 |
| glitch | looks like I have to use ndiswrapper | 23:27 |
| condawg | Just tells me that amarok can | 23:27 |
| soundray | TheAngryBunny: SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE and DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH are useful sometimes, too | 23:27 |
| ghindo | hisingh1: It probably doesn't have an SSH server, then | 23:27 |
| nikin | can anyone help me to use policykit with fluxbox... for some reason it ails the get process information... so the unlock bttons stay grey... and after tripple check... i am in the polkituser group., and i am not running with sudo .... or at least how to rip out that piece of awfullness(sorry) of the admn programs? | 23:27 |
| alastair_ | Pidgin has been misbehaving recently. Has anyone else reported problems? Or shall I go into detail, not that there is much. | 23:27 |
| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy> it doessnt? | 23:27 |
| TheAngryBunny | Soundray: SAVE_VBE_STATE is already set to true | 23:27 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: you'll need something like VNC or RDP for what you're trying to do | 23:28 |
| ghindo | hisingh1: You need an SSH server on the computer you're trying to access via SSH | 23:28 |
| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy> So is there any othr options? | 23:28 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: ssh is mainly a unix/linux-specific thing | 23:28 |
| lucife1 | how do do the microphone settings? everything is volume is full. I donno whats going on | 23:28 |
| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy> can i use vnc | 23:28 |
| alastair_ | Actually I'll ask again tomorrow when I'm not going to bed | 23:28 |
| linkmaster03 | fugitivo: thank you so much | 23:28 |

| pidus | does anybody know how to fix a changed ssh key? | 23:28 |

| fugitivo | linkmaster03, great! :) | 23:28 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: yes, but you'll need to first get a VNC server working on the vista machine | 23:28 |
| TheAngryBunny | ok... I'll try toggling that... | 23:29 |

| Slart | hmm.. I've been saying paradon all the time.. sheseh sorry | 23:33 |
| McRib | So, is it a feature or a bug that Hardy doesn't let you add new users with an already existing home folder? | 23:33 |
| uzor | hello, what would be the best filesystem to share data between linux, osx and windows? ext2 or ntfs (fat is out due to 4gb limit) or something else? | 23:33 |
| hisingh1 | <elro> hey should get putty | 23:33 |
| Slart | _paradox_: not really.. but it makes things a bit easier | 23:33 |
| DonaldShimoda | markotite1, good! | 23:33 |
| markotite1 | DonaldShimoda yes | 23:33 |
| Starnestommy | McRib: probably a bug | 23:33 |
| elro | hisingh1: putty is a great ssh client | 23:34 |
| fugitivo | uzor, network shares? | 23:34 |
| hisingh1 | <elro> how should i get it | 23:34 |
| tim167 | anyone installed grub on a usb stick ? | 23:34 |
| elro | hisingh1: google putty ssh | 23:34 |
| uzor | fugitivo, for a bootcamp/multiboot environment.. | 23:34 |
| cheatr | hisingh1: putty should be the first result on google | 23:34 |
| kitche | uzor: umm fat since fat goes way above 4gb unless you mean 4 gb files | 23:34 |
| uzor | kitche, of course i mean 4gb files | 23:34 |
| McRib | Starnestommy: Hmm... as it stands right now, I need to run useradd first and then edit it with Gnome afterwards... that works. | 23:35 |
| uzor | like dvd iso images .. | 23:35 |
| _paradox_ | its a good site but i dont really have a lotta time for reading right now. can ya just give me a quick run thru? | 23:35 |
| nikin | ghindo: what gives the backend to policykit? i mean is there a service i need to start? | 23:35 |
| soundray | McRib: I don't know, but I would always recommend renaming the home directory, then creating the user, then copying the user data over selectively | 23:35 |
| cheatr | hisingh1: Also, do a search for portable apps. There is a site that offers a bunch of popular software slightly modified for a usb stick. Putty is one the apps they offer | 23:35 |
| fugitivo | uzor, you wont have problems from linux, but from windows... | 23:35 |
| ghindo | nikin: I'm afraid I don't know. Sorry :( | 23:35 |
| kitche | uzor: then ntfs but then again ntfs is not the best there is for file sharing you could use ext2 and get the ext2 driver for windows | 23:35 |
| Slart | _paradox_: I think it's like this.. ln -s nameoflink targetoflink | 23:35 |
| hisingh1 | <cheatr> pm | 23:35 |
| Slart | _paradox_: I might have target and link mixed up.. but that's the general idea | 23:36 |

| Slart | Taras: mencoder does almost anything.. the trick is knowing how to make it work with you =) | 23:36 |
| Taras | hope its not complicated | 23:37 |
| _paradox_ | wait ln -s the file name and then the target directory? | 23:37 |
| soundray | Taras: it is | 23:37 |
| Slart | paradon: I think so, yes | 23:37 |
| Slart | Taras: and remember.. linux is case sensitive.. | 23:38 |
| soundray | Taras: you may find it easier to install kino, import the Theora file and export to mpeg4 | 23:38 |
| Slart | bah.. paradon, and Taras.. I need coffee | 23:38 |
| McRib | Taras: Do a google search for: mencoder ogg to mp4 | 23:38 |

| soundray | popey: really? | 23:39 |

| favro | markl_: you need a prog installed that uses the other menu item | 23:41 |
| emma_ | what do you mean by cloning you | 23:41 |
| emma | emma_ this is not the right channel to have a conversation not related to Ubuntu. | 23:41 |
| thisusernamewasm | PLEASE, someone! I've been here asking periodically since 2PM, can *anyone* help me fix mp3 playback in rhythmbox? | 23:42 |
| markotite1 | hm ok favro | 23:42 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: lets try.. what happened what is the problem/ when did it occusr? | 23:42 |
| emma | thisusernamewasm, are you able to play mp3 with any other media players? | 23:43 |
| thisusernamewasm | nikin, hythmbox used to play mp3's, now it does not. I suspect that this is a result of some stuff Aptitude did without my telling it to, but with my accidental consent, a while ago. | 23:43 |
| thisusernamewasm | I haven't tried any others- I put ap ost in the forums with all the details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795534 | 23:43 |
| jnb | hi all! would appreciate som help here, how do i split a rar archive into several parts with max file size 11mb? | 23:43 |
| emma | thisusernamewasm, you might try going to synaptic package manager, searching for Rhythmbox and then marking for reinstallation then. | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | mhm | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | hi | 23:44 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: do other programs play mp3? | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | i have very very strange issue | 23:44 |
| emma | nikin, i asked the same question :) | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | root@jacek-laptop:/home/jacek# rm record* | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 23:44 |
| thisusernamewasm | emma, I still have rhythmbox, I'm using it to play some ogg's right now. | 23:44 |
| thisusernamewasm | nikin, I'll try. | 23:44 |
| thisusernamewasm | Which program should I use? | 23:44 |
| emma_ | is this a coincidence or is it something siniister i.e same user name? | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | it looks like rm is segfaulting | 23:44 |
| soundray | jnb: man split | 23:44 |
| markotite1 | I thought Gisosomeone using Gisomount ?? | 23:44 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: consider trying VLC .... | 23:45 |
| markotite1 | cant find it in menus | 23:45 |
| markotite1 | Uh I mean someone using Gisomount ? :) | 23:45 |
| emma | thisusernamewasm, yes but you said that you thought that aptitude did something to rhythmbox such that it was able to play MP3 and now it cannot. You might therefor try reinstalling it, which is easy to do with the Synaptic Package Manager located in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager > Search for Rhythmbox and then check the box to mark for reinstallation. | 23:45 |
| thisusernamewasm | installing vlc, will report shortly. | 23:45 |
| markotite1 | I cant find it anywhere | 23:45 |
| hyjal | thisusernamewasm: I would try to completely remove ubuntu-restricted-extras, and installing it again | 23:45 |
| markotite1 | I can start it from console | 23:45 |

| soundray | jnb: yes, I would | 23:46 |
| nikin | emma: i tend to belive that this is a codec problem... maybe gstreamer | 23:46 |

| BobPenguin | Hello there. I'm having trouble with the Lives Video Editor on Ubuntustudio 8.04. When I open a video clip it does not open de audio, not can I supply audio to any video. The terminal seys Xmms is not installed, but I have read xmms is an optional package and is not need to run lives. What can be the problem? | 23:46 |
| thisusernamewasm | @hyjal | 23:46 |
| ferfactor | i think that this DVD is protected with somethind call css | 23:46 |
| Lynet | ferfactor: All dvd have copyright, I assume you mean css/drm? | 23:46 |
| hyjal | thisusernamewasm: I think so. I use synaptic for it all :P | 23:46 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: lets see that VLC | 23:46 |
| emma | thisusernamewasm, then try this, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:46 |
| hyjal | thisusernamewasm: there's an option there for "complete removal" | 23:47 |
| ferfactor | yea Lynet that | 23:47 |
| thisusernamewasm | nikin, still installing vlc | 23:47 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: ok.. i wait... | 23:47 |
| jnb | soundray: thanks, i think i got it! blessings an joy | 23:47 |
| soundray | jnb: would you like a hint on combining the parts? | 23:47 |
| Lynet | ferfactor: Have you installed libdvdread? | 23:48 |
| ferfactor | lynet yeah this morning | 23:48 |
| thisusernamewasm | emma, will try after done isntalling vlc. | 23:48 |
| thisusernamewasm | UGH! | 23:48 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: what UGH? | 23:48 |
| thisusernamewasm | I tried to install google earth last time I used synaptic, but changed my mind, and so didn't accept the license. | 23:49 |
| corpsemassacre | Hi | 23:49 |
| Gantz | what a jolly name | 23:49 |
| thisusernamewasm | Now it's trying to get me to agree to the license, and not only can I not disagree with the license, I can't even accept. | 23:49 |
| thisusernamewasm | there's no way to press "ok"? | 23:49 |
| corpsemassacre | lol | 23:49 |
| jnb | soundray: well, i'm not the one who'll be extracting the archive, my friends on windows machines will be doing that. will there be any problems for them to extract? | 23:49 |
| ferfactor | Lynet: the console said me that the package wasn't appear | 23:49 |
| Lynet | ferfactor: Tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs?highlight=(dvd) | 23:49 |
| thisusernamewasm | ok, I think I killed google earth install... | 23:50 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: no idea.. never used that piece of software.... | 23:50 |
| soundray | jnb: yes, they will have to know how | 23:50 |
| Gantz | so, i installed ubuntu on my other harddrive, and still have xp on one harddrive. how do i boot to xp? | 23:50 |
| thisusernamewasm | it was just the license being presented and requiring acceptance within the terminal. | 23:50 |
| thisusernamewasm | now it's back up again. | 23:50 |
| wubrgamer | how do i boot the livecd to RAM? | 23:50 |
| mad_max02 | thisusernamewasm, u trying to install google earth ?? | 23:50 |
| corpsemassacre | do you tried freebsd | 23:50 |
| thisusernamewasm | mad_max, | 23:50 |
| thisusernamewasm | no | 23:50 |
| mad_max02 | then what ? | 23:50 |
| Joeb454 | wubrgamer, it automatically boots into the RAM :) | 23:50 |
| mad_max02 | I didnt read up | 23:50 |
| ferfactor | Lynet: sorry i tried to explain better my problem but i have many problems with my english... thanks i will check th url | 23:50 |
| wubrgamer | really? | 23:50 |
| thisusernamewasm | I thought about it last time I used synaptic, and now it's acting like I still want to, even though I don't. | 23:50 |
| soundray | jnb: you will probably have generated several files like xaa, xab, xac and so one. They will have to combine them on the Windows command line with something like | 23:51 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: what about VLC? | 23:51 |
| thisusernamewasm | vlc isntalled, attempting mp3 now | 23:51 |
| soundray | jnb: copy /b xaa xab xac file.rar | 23:51 |
| Joeb454 | wubrgamer, yep, that's how come there's no changes to your hard drive :) | 23:51 |
| thisusernamewasm | nikin, it works. | 23:51 |
| clintchance | How do i get 7zip to work | 23:51 |
| clintchance | does it have a GUI | 23:51 |
| Gantz | how do i boot to xp which is located on my other harddrive, from ubuntu, this harddrive | 23:51 |
| mad_max02 | thisusernamewasm, you want to play mp3 ?? google earth installs nice with medibuntu repository enabled and just typing sudo apt-get install googleearth | 23:51 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: ok | 23:51 |
| wubrgamer | Joeb454: no | 23:52 |
| emman | hi, anybody know how I can get skype on ubuntu | 23:52 |
| wubrgamer | it runs off the CD | 23:52 |
| mad_max02 | thisusernamewasm, try banshee or rhythmbox for mp3 files | 23:52 |
| wubrgamer | i meant copying it into the ram... | 23:52 |
| wubrgamer | the cd | 23:52 |
| soundray | jnb: I think there is a method for splitting rar files with the rar program itself, but I don't know how. If you can work it out, you will make the recipient's life easier | 23:52 |
| wubrgamer | knoppix and most livecd's do it | 23:52 |
| soundray | jnb: man rar will probably help | 23:52 |
| thisusernamewasm | mad_max, you are late into this. I am merely trying to fix rhythmbox, which stopped playing mp3's. | 23:52 |
| thisusernamewasm | VLC is being used as a test, to see if I have the codecs (I presume) | 23:52 |
| Joeb454 | I think it loads a lot into the RAM, but also runs from the CD (I know it loads some). Other than that I can't be much help sorry wubrgamer | 23:53 |
| hyjal | thisusernamewasm: I would keep trying to reinstall the ubuntu-restricted-extras package for getting rhythmbox (gstreamer) to work. I can't help you with your synaptic problem though | 23:53 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad | 23:53 |
| emma | hm, emma_ and then emman. | 23:53 |
| clintchance | apt-get install googleearth dont work | 23:53 |
| wubrgamer | is there a toram cheatcode? | 23:53 |
| hyjal | thisusernamewasm: VLC uses different codecs | 23:53 |
| clintchance | !RAR | 23:53 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 23:53 |
| nikin | VLC has inbuilt codecs.. so it wont work with rythmbox | 23:53 |
| jnb | soundray: oh, i see. yes, i'm not sure they'll manage to do it right with man split. ill try man rar, thanks | 23:53 |

| thisusernamewasm | douye, why would I want to start using synaptic? | 23:55 |
| gik | jour | 23:55 |
| soundray | jnb: it's not documented in the man page. You will need to look in /usr/share/doc/rar/rar.txt.gz | 23:55 |
| douye | thisusernamewasm: easier to get to the thing you need when you dont know the complete name.. | 23:55 |
| thisusernamewasm | nikin, I was going to uninstall that and try to reinstall it. | 23:55 |
| nikin | thisusernamewasm: why do you want to remove restricted extras? | 23:55 |
| Wanderer | nikin: already did, no go | 23:55 |
| thisusernamewasm | douye, I don't really think so. I find synaptic confusing. I really prefer the terminal. | 23:56 |
| nikin | Wanderer: did you check that it is realy deleted? | 23:56 |
| jnb | soundray, thank you, i' give it a look | 23:56 |

| markotitel | yes | 23:56 |
| thisusernamewasm | Trying rhythmbox now | 23:56 |
| Wanderer | nikin: I removed the file completely | 23:57 |

| Wanderer | I'm using hostkey auth, not pass | 23:57 |

| clintchance | do i need to enable taht | 23:57 |
| clintchance | that | 23:57 |

| thisusernamewasm | not always, at least. | 23:58 |
| DonaldShimoda_ | i already have the bridge up! | 23:58 |
