| Laney | tanath: ARGH! | 00:00 |
| Dreamsorcerer | Gr34t3st: Have you tried pushing F4 on the menu (after language selection) and selecting 'safe graphics mode' and then selecting install, that's what I had to do. | 00:00 |
| tanath | Laney, lol, sorry | 00:00 |
| Laney | np | 00:00 |
| Lanlost | YixilTesiphon, that's.. crazy | 00:00 |
| shinjin | I'm using coverflow GDM and it's supposed to but none are showing up. | 00:00 |
| Gr34t3st | Dreamsorcerer: Yeah I tried that. Let me try again. | 00:00 |
| YixilTesiphon | Lanlost: that's what I thought | 00:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | afallenhope if you did a windows system restore you dont have grub unless you reinstalled after that | 00:01 |
| === rogerramjet is now known as rogerramjet1 | ||
| tanath | Lanlost, only seems to be an issue for certain apps, but might explain why i can't run WoW :P | 00:01 |
| shinjin | Would a link to the theme I'm using help? | 00:01 |
| rogerramjet1 | If i set a grace period what happens to the files once that time has passed? do they get deleted? | 00:01 |
| Gr34t3st | Dreamsorcerer: Did you have the same problem as me? The blank screen? | 00:01 |
| tvynr | I get the blank screen with the cursor as well. | 00:02 |
| tvynr | When trying to install under QEMU. | 00:02 |
| Lanlost | YixilTesiphon, are you sure it's not just a coincidence? I mean, I'm sure you've tested this to make sure.. I just can't think of how they would even be connected in that way | 00:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shinjin I will take a quick look .. | 00:02 |

| Dreamsorcerer | Gr34t3st: I didn't have the blinking line, just a black screen the moment the splash screen had finished loading up Ubuntu | 00:04 |
| shinjin | How do I change the pictures that appear next to the names? | 00:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shinjin that looks good, glad you found the problem | 00:04 |

| KindOne | 32 bit | 00:05 |
| SebNaitsabes | Crow 32 bit | 00:05 |
| Starnestommy | Cr0w: the x86 version is 32-bit but works on 32-bit and 64-bit machines | 00:05 |
| European-African | dri: virtualbox, is that the best choice? | 00:05 |
| SebNaitsabes | dri: virtualbox is rather good yeah | 00:05 |
| DemonicButthead | Cr0w- EM64T enabled processors will work with 64 bit versions of ANY operating system | 00:05 |
| DemonicButthead | inetl processors anyway.. who even uses amd :P | 00:05 |

| Condoulo | ok, just a question. I have this HP hub here, and I can't use it at all (Got it used), and I'm wanting to get in there using a Serial Cable and an ASCII Console to see if I can find any settings... how would I do that? | 00:06 |
| afallenhope | Jack_Sparrow: I know... but it's how it feels. Try to undertsand that not everyone is a guru. I apprecitate the help I'm just,.. I don't know.. frustrated. | 00:06 |
| eHome | i m going to re-install 7.04, does that means that: i have to update everything, before upgrade to 7.10 ? | 00:06 |
| Starnestommy | ringer: look for libnotify in the package manager | 00:06 |
| tvynr | Bizzeh: Depends on how much code assistance and stuff you want. I'm not sure why you care what language your IDE is written in. Are you looking for something very invasive and full featured or something more simplistic and hands-off? | 00:06 |
| Cr0w | DemonicButthead, do u mean that i should downalod amd64 for intel micro? (i dont speak english very well) | 00:06 |
| afallenhope | Jack_Sparrow: I know... but it's how it feels. Try to undertsand that not everyone is a guru. I apprecitate the help I'm just,.. I don't know.. frustrated. | 00:06 |

| rinovan | how to convert tgz to deb in gnome | 00:08 |
| tvynr | Cr0w: The "amd64" architecture is used by AMD and Intel alike. Intel just calls it EM64T 'cause they don't want to put anything with "AMD" in it on their stuff. It's generically called x86_64, but the name amd64 caught on. | 00:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eHome that will do it | 00:08 |
| afallenhope | Jack_Sparrow: I didn't install Windows though.. Windows was installed before anything | 00:08 |

| afallenhope | Jack_Sparrow: yeah... and it didn't work... | 00:09 |
| Dillizar | Dreamsorcerer: roadiechuck@hotmail.com | 00:09 |

| DemonicButthead | I'm working off a fresh install of HH 8.04 and all audio drivers and utilities were installed and worked out of the box. I did have to un-mute my PCM in alsamixer in terminal, but I am still left with one problem. When I adjust my master volume either by using the buttons on my keyboard or using the Volume Control: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer), the "Master" volume doesn't adjust the loudness of my PCM/SPDIF output? Anyone know why? | 00:10 |
| eHome | Jack_Sparrow: is that a big ubuntu security hole ? | 00:11 |
| tvynr | Bizzeh: Being a Java developer by day and a Python programmer by night, I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you. But you're allowed your preferences. :) How about http://www.codeblocks.org/ ? I've never used it, but a cursory Google and a look at the screenshots seems nice. | 00:11 |
| sarthor | my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but now going online on gyachi?? Help | 00:11 |
| micahcowan | Soopa, they're just shell scripts. Maybe have a look at /etc/init.d/skeleton? | 00:11 |
| IrishDavid | nope, it's still not working and when i go to a terminal as david and type groups, vtune doesnt show up | 00:11 |

| m0u5e | @#$%^& blah gstreamer i hate you T__T; | 00:11 |

| micahcowan | Soopa, you can copy that, and then fill in the details. | 00:11 |
| LinuxNIT | can anyone point me in the right direction for enableing s-video output on a ati radeon 9600 in hardy? | 00:11 |
| xur1z | i have a machine with /boot = sda2, / = md0, but i can't get past GRUB on boot | 00:12 |
| m0u5e | LinuxNIT: i hear fedora works with that sort of thing... | 00:12 |
| afallenhope | Jack_Sparrow: /media/disk-1 (linux) and /media/disk (Windows) | 00:12 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, doesn't user david already exist? | 00:12 |
| LinuxNIT | m0u5e, are you saying ubuntu cant do it? | 00:12 |
| m0u5e | LinuxNIT: no, but if you figure out how, i would like to know too :X | 00:12 |
| sarthor | its my 3rd day that i am calling for the same help, but the Nature is against me these days i think :) | 00:13 |
| LinuxNIT | well fedora wont install on my laptop so im out there | 00:13 |
| m0u5e | LinuxNIT: i don't know why, but to me it seems like there has been a regression with video output to external displays... | 00:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eHome doesnt sound like a security hole. did you use the same user name and password on both? | 00:13 |
| SeaPhor | afallenhope, can you see /media/disk-1/boot/grub ? | 00:13 |
| IrishDavid | micahcowan, he does but i am attempting to get him as a user in group vtune as the vtune program requires this for launch but it keeps complaining | 00:13 |
| afallenhope | SeaPhor: yes I cam | 00:13 |
| m0u5e | LinuxNIT: have you tried playing around with the screen resolution utility under system>preferences? | 00:13 |
| afallenhope | can* | 00:13 |
| eHome | Jack_Sparrow: no. it's different user name | 00:13 |
| LinuxNIT | yes i have m0u5e | 00:14 |
| eHome | Jack_Sparrow: i would say it is a security hole. as i login from usb, and can edit anything on pc-ubuntu | 00:14 |
| m0u5e | LinuxNIT: did it even detect the display? | 00:14 |
| LinuxNIT | 2nd display is disabled and i cant enable it | 00:14 |

| SeaPhor | afallenhope, thats probably the part that needs to be known, and you missed his name in that last post | 00:14 |
| LinuxNIT | unless i make it my default screen | 00:15 |
| IrishDavid | eHome, I know what you mean as I am doing the same thing here in terms of logging in from usb | 00:15 |
| Whtiger | Is my gpg key vulerable to the debian/ubuntu openssl thing? | 00:15 |
| eHome | Jack_Sparrow: so ubuntu is heckable -- IrishDavid | 00:15 |
| IrishDavid | eHome, it's effectively the same as taking the hard drive and plugging it into another system | 00:15 |
| eHome | Jack_Sparrow: and much easier to be hecked than XP | 00:15 |
| afallenhope | SeaPhor: okay... so I'm confused as to what I do lol. | 00:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eHome sorry, but I really really need to go... physical access is not the same as hackable... | 00:15 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, AIUI adduser is for creating wholly new users. | 00:16 |
| IrishDavid | eHome, it requires physical access to the system | 00:16 |
| eHome | IrishDavid: ok - :) | 00:16 |
| IrishDavid | micahcowan, it is also for adding users to a group... | 00:16 |
| afallenhope | I'm sorry to everyone though. I know you're all like :what a noob: | 00:16 |
| IrishDavid | micahcowan, check the output from adduser --help because i checked to make sure i was right | 00:16 |
| eHome | IrishDavid: now i got a question. when i installed ubuntu in usb. everytime i have to plug the usb to boot pc, if not , i got an error" grub error 21 " | 00:17 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, is it? I've never done it that way... but then I usually use vigr. ...usermod should also be usable for that. | 00:17 |
| AzMoo | Does gksudo use the same sudoers file as normal sudo? | 00:17 |
| eHome | IrishDavid: but sometime i'd like to use my pc-ubuntu | 00:17 |
| m0u5e | blah banshee can't play my mp3s... yet movie player can play them :/ | 00:17 |
| SeaPhor | afallenhope, tell him you can see /media/disk-1/boot/grub from the live cd, and ask if that makes any difference, i'm logging for a while else i'd try | 00:17 |
| m0u5e | AzMoo: i believe so | 00:17 |
| IrishDavid | eHome, i got the same problem on one of my laptops when i tried to use it, but every other system i boot on has worked (system that supports usb booting) | 00:17 |
| afallenhope | SeaPhor: okay thanks | 00:18 |
| AzMoo | m0u5e: That's what I thought too. | 00:18 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, what's the output of "grep ^david /etc/group" ? | 00:18 |
| sarthor | my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but not going online on gyachi?? Help | 00:18 |
| IrishDavid | micahcowan, it does work, but then again it doesnt seem to be working for me right now..... still trying | 00:18 |
| sarthor | its my 3rd day that i am calling for the same help, but the Nature is against me these days i think :) | 00:18 |
| SeaPhor | afallenhope, no, i'll be back in a hour or so | 00:18 |
| Soopa | micahcowan: oh, cool.. thanks! | 00:18 |
| IrishDavid | david:x:1000: | 00:18 |
| m0u5e | does anyone elses banshee simply not play mp3s? | 00:18 |
| AzMoo | Any idea why my sudoers configuration works in a terminal but not from a shortcut? | 00:18 |
| IrishDavid | david:x:1000: micahcowan | 00:18 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, sorry, I should have given you grep ^vtune, instead. | 00:19 |
| jim-Dandy | hello, any recommended apps to dump sprites and tilemaps from nes roms? | 00:19 |
| m0u5e | AzMoo: it should? try alt+f2 and type gksu <app name> | 00:19 |
| eHome | i got a 7.04CD, no 8.04CD, is there a better way to install 8.04, instead of install 7.04->upgrade to 7.10->8.04 ? | 00:19 |
| afallenhope | Jack_Sparrow: hey! I can see the /media/disk-1/boot/grub from the live CD which is located at /dev/sda5 | 00:19 |
| m0u5e | if that works, your shortcuts should work too | 00:19 |
| m0u5e | eHome: yes just install 8.04 Hardy Heron | 00:19 |
| IrishDavid | vtune:x:100: | 00:19 |
| m0u5e | eHome: go to www.ubuntu.com and download the latest cd or ask them to ship it to you | 00:19 |
| tanath | anyone care to nominate a best linux chat client? | 00:19 |
| eHome | m0u5e: howto? i do not have the CD -- good on you :) | 00:20 |
| m0u5e | tanath: if you're using gnome i strongly recommend xchat-gnome | 00:20 |
| afallenhope | tanath: I personally like X-Chat | 00:20 |
| Piglet64 | hello | 00:20 |
| m0u5e | eHome: you can either download it, or ask them to ship it to you | 00:20 |
| tanath | m0u5e: i like xchat, but that's just for irc | 00:20 |
| Broadcom | !hi | Piglet64 | 00:20 |
| ubottu | Piglet64: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:20 |
| dkt | tanath: xchat-gnome best bet probably if you are using ubuntu | 00:20 |
| jbalint | hi | 00:20 |
| m0u5e | tanath: oh like pidgin? | 00:20 |
| eHome | m0u5e: seems have to install from a liveCD | 00:20 |
| tanath | m0u5e: yes | 00:20 |
| m0u5e | tanath: i've never really tried kopete but i've heard good things about it | 00:20 |
| tanath | dkt: what about for more than irc? | 00:20 |
| afallenhope | tanath: if you're using gnome pidgin if your using KDE kopete | 00:20 |
| m0u5e | tanath: theres also a new client called empathy which i hear will replace pidgin in gnome 2.24 | 00:21 |
| Broadcom | !hi | jbalint | 00:21 |
| ubottu | jbalint: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:21 |
| dkt | tanath: pidgin? | 00:21 |
| Piglet64 | I have an old computer | 00:21 |
| jbalint | how can i get the el source for emacs? seems it was included in 21.4, but not longer in 22.1 | 00:21 |
| tanath | i'm using pidgin, but i was hoping for something better | 00:21 |
| angus393 | /msg ubottu etiquette | 00:21 |
| IrishDavid | hey micahcowan I managed to get it working :) | 00:21 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, yeah? How? | 00:21 |
| tanath | maybe something that can support audio calls on gtalk, for instance | 00:21 |
| Piglet64 | not that old dell 4600c/p4 2.6G/738M DDR/60G/nvidia 7300 | 00:21 |
| IrishDavid | i reinstalled with me already added to the group :) | 00:21 |
| m0u5e | is there a way to reinstall an entire app dep tree? | 00:21 |
| Lanlost | Weird.. I went to a terminal and typed compiz and it loaded compiz over top of the desktop effects that were already loaded. So I ctrl-c it and now I don't have window borders. | 00:21 |
| IrishDavid | i think it was just me being silly micahcowan | 00:21 |
| dkt | tanath: well i like pidgin ;-) works for me and what i need hehe... what are you missing from pidgin that you are looking for? | 00:21 |
| Piglet64 | I am thinking to put an ubuntu linux into it | 00:22 |
| afallenhope | tanath: then I would suggest aMSN for MSN and Pidgin | 00:22 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, I was about to suggest Administration -> Users and Groups | 00:22 |
| m0u5e | for example, if i'm not sure if one of my packages is corrupt, i want to reinstall all apps which banshee deps on | 00:22 |
| ubunt2ok | anyone know anything about ubuntu-xbox? | 00:22 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, Or maybe sudo vigr (that's how I always edit groups) | 00:22 |
| IrishDavid | micahcowan, I had been in there and done that, it may have just been me doing some silly | 00:22 |
| m0u5e | can i be like... sudo aptitude reinstall banshee --FIXEVERYTHING********? xD | 00:22 |
| tanath | dkt: pidgin doesn't support audio calls or file transfers on google talk, or status changing/updating on msn | 00:22 |
| tanath | dkt: nor any video calling | 00:22 |
| IrishDavid | micahcowan, ill remember that, thanks :) | 00:22 |
| Piglet64 | Should I put the latest version or should I put some older version into it | 00:22 |
| tanath | afallenhope: amsn is good for msn, but i'd like to use a multiprotocol client so as not to have to run multiple clients | 00:23 |
| micahcowan | IrishDavid, vigr uses vi for editing by default, I think, though, so may not be what you want (unless you first mess with the VISUAL env var). | 00:23 |
| Piglet64 | Does the new version have too much for the hardware | 00:23 |
| afallenhope | Anyone know how to recover my GRUB if it's located at "/media/disk-1/boot/grub" | 00:23 |

| Condoulo | ok, just a question. I have this HP hub here, and I can't use it at all (Got it used), and I'm wanting to get in there using a Serial Cable and an ASCII Console to see if I can find any settings... how would I do that? | 00:24 |
| jim-Dandy | ubunt2ok: afaik ubuntu on xbox hasn't seen much love, it may be easier to go with gentoo, which still has an active profile for xbox. | 00:24 |
| m0u5e | tanath: i don't like amsn... in my experience its clunky, and crashes frequently | 00:24 |
| m0u5e | afallenhope: i don't know about recovering it... wwhy not just try reinstall grub? | 00:24 |
| Bizzeh | i wouldnt use gentoo on xbox for moral reasons | 00:24 |
| m0u5e | Bizzeh: moral reasons? :3 | 00:24 |
| Piglet64 | I will need this computer mostly for the web browse/multimedia/a light file server for the home network | 00:25 |
| Bizzeh | since shallax did all the work, then gentoo took credit for it and kicked him off the team and took his work | 00:25 |
| m0u5e | Bizzeh: ah i c | 00:25 |
| afallenhope | m0u5e: I'd reinstall it but there's more than one Partition... there's my XP recovery partition and my Media Center, as well as my Windows partision | 00:25 |
| tanath | m0u5e: i used to have issues with amsn, but it seems good now. it's a bit iffy with sound though, but that's it | 00:25 |
| Fritzel | IS it possible to set GPU fan speed in ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| Bizzeh | its another one of those things that claim to be "a movment of freedom" when its more of an act of comunism, "do what we say or your gone" | 00:26 |

| tanath | m0u5e: i don't seem to get that in pidgin... | 00:26 |
| Lanlost | afallenhope, you should try LinuxMint, it has a Live CD. It's an ubuntu derivative and the best I've used. | 00:26 |
| Fritzel | Anyone, jim-Dandy, better question, how can it be done? | 00:26 |
| tanath | m0u5e: which protocol? | 00:26 |
| m0u5e | Bizzeh: there needs to be a balance (like all good things) between individuality and communistic ideologies | 00:26 |

| m0u5e | tanath: i don't like amarok... its too feature bloated -__-; | 00:27 |

| m0u5e | dkt: i use audacious | 00:27 |

| m0u5e | tanath: yeah... it is ... (they should just adopt phonon and be overy with it xD) | 00:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bizzeh please not in here.. | 00:31 |
| tanath | m0u5e: rhythmbox improved? cool. i thought it was decent before, but amarok still owns it | 00:31 |
| Fritzel | eHome, certainly not in fact I much prefer it that way, it gives you time to play your favorite flash game while you're installing the os ^^ | 00:31 |
| tanath | m0u5e: phonon? | 00:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | mOuse: if you run Wine you can have winamp if you really want | 00:31 |
| Fritzel | eHome, only bad part is the install doesn't take long enough and I usually have to quit my game :( | 00:31 |
| m0u5e | mmm... i wish there was instant search & highlight (like firefox) in xchat-gnome... so i could find and highlight previous comments by certain users | 00:32 |

| tanath | m0u5e: what are you using? you not using xchat? | 00:33 |

| Fritzel | jansen, well if it's a disk you'll generally want to unmount it but other than that you're typically ok I believe | 00:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | m0u5e: same here, but let's be honest, certain native apps suck really. as in the music players and MSN clients | 00:33 |

| matt_ | I am looking for a distro that is great. I've tried (K)ubuntu before, right now I'm using Fedora 9. I love Kubuntu, but it seems to be a little "slow" in some areas. Perhaps this is just because of KDE, I'm not sure. I want a distro debian based, with kde, besides kubuntu, are there any? | 00:34 |

| Nyad | if someone here has the ISO of the alternate install CD of ubuntu with them could they tell me what the names of the files are called in the isolinux dir in the ISO | 00:36 |
| Fritzel | SebNaitsabes, more the other way around, but yes you're on the right track, the gpu is the hardware that processes the instructions opengl gives it, (that's a users rendition of what actually happens and 90% guesswork) | 00:36 |

| Fritzel | SebNaitsabes, ok first thing you need to do is find out what brand of video card you have Nvidia or ATI (and that's not something I know how to check) next thing you should do is install envyng and install the correct video card driver after that you should be able to progress past where you are now | 00:43 |

| Jav13r | jramsey: when i try to open it as user. is asking me to create a profile. and i cant wite the profile it seems. probably because im no root | 00:59 |

| jim-Dandy | cgentry72: i believe audacity will convert between various formats and sample rates | 00:59 |
| tanath | infamous: need more info. when did it start? what did you do before that? | 01:00 |
| jim-Dandy | cgentry72: i'm not sure what is required for system sounds tho | 01:00 |
| cgentry72 | jim-Dandy: ok i tried soundconverter and it doesn't give you the option of sampling rate so the wav is to big | 01:00 |
| dimas869 | tanath so what do you suggest?...is that mean?... | 01:00 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, as a user? i don't see why you can't write a profile for your own username; there is no way you need to run Tbird in root | 01:00 |
| tanath | dimas869: well, do you really need gyachi-codecs package installed? | 01:00 |
| Nith | jramsey: I'm currently set to that and if I <alt+tab><release> then I will only switch between two windows | 01:00 |
| infamous | tanath i didnt do nothing maby my sister iz its wos ok 2day | 01:01 |

| afallenhope | anyone know the difference between the XChat-gnome and Xchat? | 01:02 |
| jramsey | !pastebin | Jav13r | 01:02 |
| ubottu | Jav13r: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 01:02 |
| afallenhope | other than the name LMAO | 01:02 |
| tanath | dimas869: do you need to use a particular protocol? | 01:02 |
| tanath | dimas869: you could use something like teamspeak | 01:02 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, then paste the pastebin url here so i can get to it | 01:02 |
| avatarone | how do I boot Ubuntu with GUI from BusyBox? | 01:02 |

| protocol1 | is there a command to remove kubuntu-desktop from console | 01:04 |
| avatarone | here's what I did, I have win XP and I've made a new partition with partition magic, then I | 01:04 |
| tanath | gpm: well, i imagine it would be 'sendmail' ;p | 01:04 |
| jim-Dandy | hydester: does the network card appear to be functioning otherwise? (can you ping the router, use internet, and so on) | 01:04 |
| protocol1 | wipe it all off? | 01:04 |
| ras | my autoconnect isn't working correctly :\ | 01:05 |
| gpm | tanath: i'd be surprised actually, sendmail is big and bulky and not necessary for desktop systems | 01:05 |
| hydester | jim-Dandy, yes. windows vista laptop connected fine. | 01:05 |
| ras | instead it autoconnects to the ubuntu server every time | 01:05 |
| tanath | dimas869: there is an official yahoo linux client... | 01:05 |
| bazhang | !puregnome | protocol1 | 01:05 |
| ubottu | protocol1: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 01:05 |
| Jav13r | jramsey: its the very last one *14 | 01:05 |
| tanath | gpm: sendmail-bin | 01:05 |
| jim-Dandy | hydester: I mean the pc from which you are attempting to print.. you can connect to the network ok? | 01:05 |
| hydester | jim-Dandy, yes, it is this one i'm on irc with | 01:06 |
| dimas869 | tanath yeap but nether voice or webcam work | 01:06 |
| avatarone | here's what I did, I have win XP and I've made a new partition with partition magic, then I've tried to install ubuntu on it, selected manual from the ubuntu's partitioner, choosed location as / and installed it on that one... unfortunatley i get BusyBox now when I boot it... is there a way to get into Ubuntu with GUI from there? | 01:06 |
| tanath | dimas869: maybe not configured right? | 01:06 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, shrug ... i've 1.5.0.14 (older version) and it was a breeze to set up | 01:06 |
| dimas869 | tanath do you have the link of it? | 01:06 |

| jramsey | Jav13r, awwww man don't do that; use Synaptic | 01:09 |
| twisted_steel | does anyone know where totem stores its temp files? | 01:09 |
| bloodrock | maybe that is why it wants root it was installed as root? | 01:09 |
| SebNaitsabes | twisted_stell: try the /tmp folde | 01:09 |
| tanath | twisted_steel: in /tmp i believe | 01:09 |
| Flare183 | twisted_steel: /tmp | 01:09 |
| Flare183 | yeap | 01:10 |
| tanath | hah | 01:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | twisted_stell: try the /tmp folder | 01:10 |
| tanath | lol | 01:10 |
| Jav13r | hmm | 01:10 |
| twisted_steel | I looked there, maybe it's just the movie then? | 01:10 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, use Synaptic as your user (not root or sudo), remove Tbird then reinstall it | 01:10 |
| * SebNaitsabes twice with the name done wrong oh well | 01:10 | |
| dimas869 | tanath thats 64 bit | 01:10 |
| tanath | twisted_steel: might be named something funky | 01:10 |

The svn works but the change directory doesn't, I'm still in the \opt directory, why didn't I change the dir after teh SVN checkout? I used VIM to create this script. | 01:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | twisted_stell: next place to look is the hidden dot folders ./ folders in Home | 01:10 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, but remove it as root :) | 01:10 |
| tanath | afallenhope: amarok | 01:10 |
| twisted_steel | tanath: yeah, I usually see fla-whatever for flash files and whatnot, but nothing for this movie | 01:10 |
| bazhang | !players | afallenhope | 01:10 |
| ubottu | afallenhope: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 01:10 |
| afallenhope | that will play online radio streams... like asf? | 01:10 |
| twisted_steel | maybe I'm SOL :P | 01:11 |
| SebNaitsabes | twisted_steel: next place to look is the hidden ./ folders in the home folder | 01:11 |
| Jav13r | jramsey: should i remove with apt-get remove thunderbird? | 01:11 |
| tanath | twisted_steel: try this in terminal: 'lsof | grep totem' | 01:11 |
| NicholasBernhard | Hello all, would anyone be willing to help with a quick wifi problem? | 01:11 |
| SebNaitsabes | !wifi | 01:11 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:11 |
| tanath | twisted_steel: or tmp instead of totem | 01:11 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, yeah as root or sudo apt-get pkg-name | 01:11 |

| bloodrock | afallenhope, i'm useing gnome mplayer seems nice | 01:11 |
| twisted_steel | thanks all, I will poke around and see if I can see anything | 01:12 |
| SebNaitsabes | !mplayer | 01:12 |
| ubottu | mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs | 01:12 |
| avatarone | is there any way I can get to GUI from BusyBox? Sory for being kinda boring with this question :) | 01:12 |
| hydester | jim-Dandy, i didn't realize it would matter since it was on my local lan. not port 9100 either. the browsing for it was still not getting through | 01:12 |
| NicholasBernhard | My question can't be found at the wifi documents | 01:12 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, sudo apt-get remove mozilla-thunderbird | 01:12 |
| reya276 | Does anyone know how to fix the Firefox Flash video issue? It keeps crashing when I try to play a flash video | 01:13 |
| SebNaitsabes | NicholasBernhard: setting up a wifi with Linux depending on your hardware can be a right issue, because of lack of Linux manufacture suppourt | 01:13 |
| bloodrock | afall another thing you might try is streamtuner if you want to listen to streams | 01:13 |
| Jav13r | jramsey: its done | 01:13 |
| wers | what repo has cinelerra? | 01:13 |
| tanath | avatarone: what gui? busybox already provides that... | 01:13 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, use Synaptic; search for thunderbird, mark the mozilla-thunderbird and then click apply | 01:13 |
| bazhang | !info cinelerra | 01:13 |
| ubottu | Package cinelerra does not exist in hardy | 01:13 |
| tanath | reya276: works for me | 01:13 |
| woli | how do i change a folder icon using python? | 01:13 |
| SebNaitsabes | reya276: did you get the flash-nonfree one | 01:13 |

| NicholasBernhard | SebNaitsabes: I had xubuntu and everything works. I've switched to ubuntu and roaming no longer works (everything worked in xubuntu) | 01:14 |
| woli | or so they claim | 01:14 |
| tanath | reya276: maybe that's why | 01:14 |
| reya276 | yes version 9 | 01:14 |
| avatarone | Tanath: I just get BusyBox that looks DOS like, so it's just a shell i persume | 01:14 |

| reya276 | tanath: no it is not because it works just great on my work PC buddy | 01:15 |
| avatarone | I've tried startx | 01:15 |
| tanath | avatarone: hrm. well you could run 'gnome-panel' for gnome... | 01:15 |
| tanath | avatarone: no, x is already running | 01:15 |
| Housefly7k | where do i go for compiz support? | 01:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | NicholasBernHard: in fact if you had known this is what you should have done :) with your working Xubuntu get ubuntu-desktop | 01:15 |
| tanath | avatarone: try logging into a different session | 01:15 |
| avatarone | how can I run gnome-panel? | 01:15 |
| reya276 | tanath: and I'm running the same OS(hardy) | 01:15 |
| tanath | Housefly7k: i believe #compiz-fusion is the channel | 01:15 |
| NicholasBernhard | SebNaitsbes: Point taken. | 01:15 |
| tanath | avatarone: you could run 'gnome-panel &' in terminal | 01:16 |
| SebNaitsabes | NicholasBernHard: that's right you can have Xubuntu/XFCE KDE/Kubuntu and Ubuntu/Gnome and other window managers all in the same install | 01:16 |
| Housefly7k | NicholasBernhard: thanks | 01:16 |
| avatarone | btw, thanx for taking time to answer my question | 01:16 |

| SebNaitsabes | NicholasBernHard: which Xubuntu verison was it? | 01:16 |
| d[X_X]b | where is conky config file in ub 8.04 | 01:16 |

| Dante123 | hey, friend has pentium celeron 800 mhz. Will 8.04 work on that machine or woefully slow.....this is for a newbie Linux user | 01:16 |
| woli | so, does anybody know how to do such thing? I mean, change the folder's icon via python to a folder | 01:16 |
| avatarone | I get: /bin/sh: gnome-panel: not found | 01:17 |
| SebNaitsabes | NicholasBernHard: look around the menus there should be stuff for setting up a network connection | 01:17 |
| avatarone | I don't get login screen | 01:17 |
| Jav13r | jramsey: i removed. then installed via synaptic. and guess what. same #%^&*! problem | 01:17 |
| avatarone | from loading it gets me straight to busybox | 01:17 |
| NicholasBernhard | Thanks, I'll see what I can turn up. | 01:17 |
| d[X_X]b | kisid_one what if it isnt there? i just installed it | 01:17 |
| avatarone | :S | 01:17 |
| tanath | woli: you're prolly best off looking for help with python in the #python channel | 01:17 |
| SebNaitsabes | NicholasBernHard: system administation network try that | 01:17 |
| kisid_one | d[X_X]b, you can make one, just grab a template online and name it .conky.rc | 01:17 |
| d[X_X]b | thank you | 01:18 |
| kisid_one | d[X_X]b, are you viewing hidden items | 01:18 |
| d[X_X]b | yesd | 01:18 |
| woli | tanath, sorry for double-asking, but I told you that they refered me this channel on #python, because nobody claimed to know how to do it | 01:18 |
| hbaolong | hello | 01:18 |
| kisid_one | d[X_X]b, the "." before conky is important | 01:18 |

| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: how old is the computer? | 01:18 |

| kisid_one | d[X_X]b, yea | 01:19 |
| hbaolong | how can i remove shockwave flash add-on from firefox? | 01:19 |
| woli | is better to hide with the .hidden list file i think | 01:19 |
| bloodrock | Dante123, should work if it slow he/she could always try xbuntu | 01:19 |
| beford | uninstall flashplayer-nonfree | 01:19 |
| SebNaitsabes | hbaolong: you got it from the network ? | 01:19 |
| tanath | wittyphotons: there is a wine registry editor | 01:19 |
| woli | specially if you use the same folders in another os | 01:19 |
| hbaolong | yes. | 01:19 |
| beford | or flashplugin-nonfree, can't remember the name | 01:19 |
| tanath | wittyphotons: or do you mean the registry from an actual winxp install? | 01:19 |
| DIL | is there a chan for xubuntu | 01:19 |
| SebNaitsabes | bbalong: open a termianl and sudo apt-get purge flashplayer-nonfree | 01:19 |
| Dante123 | SebNaitsabes I have no idea. Does has 512 memory | 01:20 |
| beford | #xubuntu | 01:20 |
| DIL | ty | 01:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: yes Ubuntu should run good with 512 | 01:20 |
| hbaolong | OK,i'll try it . | 01:20 |
| kisid_one | hbaolong, are you trying to remove flash or flash from firefox? | 01:20 |
| tanath | wittyphotons: not sure if there's an app for that, but you could use a livedisc for windows | 01:20 |
| hbaolong | yes. | 01:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: it's not VIsta :d with a 1GB requirement | 01:20 |
| === onechard is now known as slinker | ||
| Dante123 | okay, will give that a try. My main thing is that ubuntu looks good and is fairly easy for newbies...that is why I want to stick with regular ubuntu... | 01:20 |
| woli | how much systematic RAM does ubuntu use? | 01:21 |
| hbaolong | the shockwave is bad for flash, i want install another one. | 01:21 |
| ak47 | why does it say doesn't support RPM installation' | 01:21 |
| kisid_one | Dante123, SebNaitsabes - it is going to run a little slow, you should use xubuntu or fluxbuntu | 01:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: also other distros to look at if Ubuntu is not so good on that computer | 01:21 |
| wittyphotons | tanath, what is a livedisc for windows? | 01:21 |
| Nostahl | hi all im trying to play a dvd movie in ubuntu and its looking like scrambled porn? | 01:21 |
| Dante123 | SebNaitsabes....I think Vista needs at least 2gb doesn't it. I was thinking of puppy linux if ubuntu is too slow | 01:21 |
| woli | the way to install ubuntu | 01:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: well yes use another window manager desktop envrionemnt such as Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu if Gnome is running not so well. or try another distro such as Damn Small Linux | 01:21 |
| avatarone | all i get is (initramfs) ... | 01:21 |
| kisid_one | hbaolong, check the .mozilla folder, you can remove the simlink to flash | 01:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: or Puppy Linux | 01:22 |
| woli | you insert disc, use ubuntu as if it was installed, and then install ubuntu from it | 01:22 |
| bloodrock | ak47 cause rpm is for red het you need to get alien a prog that makes a rpm into a .deb | 01:22 |
| kisid_one | hbaolong, give me a sec and i will check | 01:22 |
| jf_ | Hi everyone, quick question...I just installed Apache2 and all the files are in var/www which isn't writable by the default user. | 01:22 |
| jf_ | I was wondering should I move them? | 01:22 |
| SebNaitsabes | Dante123: this computer is 1GB RAM Ubuntu is my primary OS, but I sometimes boot up Vista Home Premium and it runs quite well with 1GB RAM | 01:22 |
| hbaolong | OK, wait for u. | 01:22 |
| tanath | wittyphotons: there are live discs which are based on windows, which allow you to do various things, like registry editing | 01:22 |

| Nostahl | its sounding like its playing ALL the languages at once | 01:23 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, yeah; i can't find anything on Tbird profile issues in ubuntu forums | 01:23 |
| SebNaitsabes | jdownie: open a termianl and type application name and enter | 01:23 |
| Jav13r | :/ | 01:24 |
| jramsey | Jav13r, repost your issue; maybe someone else knows | 01:24 |
| ak47 | It say i'm not a super user? | 01:24 |
| jdownie | SebNaitsabes, not the application, the document. so for instance, i want to launch a.doc and get it to open in openoffice. | 01:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | jdownie: that's easy enough to do with the GUI | 01:24 |

| SebNaitsabes | jdownie: ,but for example gedit sometextfile.txt when it's on the default home folder as it is by default. should open that up in Gedit | 01:25 |
| afallenhope | is there a GUI like Fedora? | 01:25 |

| kisid_one | hbaolong, it use to be in there | 01:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | for what your doing | 01:26 |
| kisid_one | not sure where it is now | 01:26 |
| afallenhope | hoonteke: do you know if there's a GUI for it | 01:26 |
| hoonteke | afallenhope: no, I don't use it. I'm looking now | 01:26 |
| bazhang | !firestarter | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:27 |
| kisid_one | hbaolong, if you find instructions for installing it just look where it tells you to put the simlink and remove it | 01:27 |
| afallenhope | thanks hoonteke | 01:27 |
| hbaolong | i've check the .mozilla ,but i can't find the place. | 01:27 |
| avatarone | well | 01:27 |

| bloodrock | avatarone, did you install ubuntu from livecd or inside windows | 01:32 |
| kisid_one | hbaolong, "cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" change the flashplugin-* to something else | 01:32 |
| KyleS-home | Suppose it's the 2.6.24 kernel? or perhaps all the new features in gnome? | 01:32 |
| Swatfoot | yeah linux is great just could not get my xfi card to work | 01:32 |
| avatarone | live cd | 01:32 |

| avatarone | i did start it from win, the cd | 01:32 |
| steve__ | i had some problems with firefox too | 01:32 |
| kisid_one | hbaolong, good luck, i am going to go, but i hope it all works ok | 01:32 |

| KyleS-home | same steve__ | 01:32 |
| avatarone | and then got the live cd | 01:32 |
| steve__ | I say new gnome fetures | 01:32 |

| steve__ | it needs time to get smoothed out | 01:33 |
| KyleS-home | cause I'm having this issue on Arch Linux too | 01:33 |
| avatarone | installed it on a partition that i've chosen manualy | 01:33 |
| hbaolong | but nothing in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. | 01:33 |
| hbaolong | see you. | 01:33 |

| Firefishe | I don' t know if I have ntfs file system errors, the sound files are bad, or what. | 02:00 |
| Morgans | Myrtti,: Anyway thanks for your help | 02:00 |
| tj1515 | it is on | 02:00 |
| tj1515 | it has a check | 02:00 |
| BinaryFu | Okay, quick question...how do you remove all of one type of file, including subdirectories? So, rm *.txt for example? | 02:00 |
| Starnestommy | BinaryFu: rm -r ./*.txt | 02:01 |
| BinaryFu | ./ is what I forgot...thanks. | 02:01 |
| justdave | I've got a box I'd like to install Ubuntu on... but it has no CD-ROM drive, no floppy drive, and it's not PXE-capable | 02:01 |
| Starnestommy | BinaryFu: and the -r | 02:01 |
| Gazoz | how can i make my dual-boot (XP/Ubuntu) PC a mono-boot (Ubuntu) PC? i want ubuntu to boot automatically without asking which OS to load? | 02:01 |
| justdave | I can take the hard drive out, and in theory install it to the drive from another machine, then put it back... | 02:01 |
| BinaryFu | No, I was doing the -r, it just kept telling me there was no such file or directory | 02:01 |
| NEUR0M4NCER | justdave: Does it have USB, or can you add it? | 02:01 |
| justdave | actually yeah, it does have USB | 02:01 |
| BinaryFu | No, my bad, that was when I just tried your method. | 02:02 |
| Swatfoot | -r does that mean recursive | 02:02 |
| Firefishe | -rf ?? | 02:02 |
| justdave | I'm not sure if it's capable of booting from it though, it's an pretty old box | 02:02 |
| Starnestommy | Swatfoot: it does | 02:02 |
| NEUR0M4NCER | justdave: If you've got access to another box, you can make a live USB to install from. It's a bit awkward though. | 02:02 |
| lwizardl | Gazoz: is ubuntu the first OS listed in the GRUB loader? | 02:02 |
| BinaryFu | That one gave me zero issues, but still didn't cut the mustard. | 02:02 |
| Gazoz | yes | 02:02 |
| bazhang | justdave, windows on there now? | 02:02 |
| tj1515 | !info unrar | 02:02 |
| ubottu | unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.8-1 (hardy), package size 94 kB, installed size 240 kB | 02:02 |
| illriginal | does anyone know if 8.04 is really freaking buggy?... Amarok freezes, Firefox freezes, Nicotine freezes... this is by far the worst Distro I've ever had on my PC. | 02:02 |
| durka | question: i am trying to add a startup program, but it needs to be run with a certain current directory, how do i do that | 02:03 |
| NEUR0M4NCER | bazhang: Good one - forgot about the Win installer. | 02:03 |
| lwizardl | Gazoz: then just leave the loader open for 10 secs and ubuntu will auto boot | 02:03 |
| woli | why are 84 of my packages obsolete? (i'm upgrading) | 02:03 |
| Myrtti | woli: because they are old | 02:03 |
| justdave | bazhang: no, it's got a custom-built linux distro that's about 7 years old on it, looks like it's loosely based on Slackware | 02:03 |
| woli | uh ok | 02:03 |
| BinaryFu | I need to rm 1 type of file within a directory tree, including ALL files in the subdirectories of said type. | 02:03 |
| woli | so they will be replaced with new ones? | 02:03 |
| justdave | and there's no dev toolchain, so I can't compile anything | 02:03 |
| bazhang | justdave, then unetbootin if it has internet | 02:03 |
| Myrtti | woli: basically yes. | 02:03 |
| illriginal | will hardy be replaced? this distro sucks =\ | 02:03 |
| Gazoz | lwizardl - i know i just don't want to see this list and wait 10 secs, besides.. i don't use XP any more | 02:04 |
| tj1515 | hardy has been the best one for me so far | 02:04 |
| NEUR0M4NCER | justdave: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 02:04 |
| justdave | but it's x86 so I could probably drop statically-linked binaries on it and have them work | 02:04 |
| durka | Gazoz: in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:04 |
| illriginal | hardy has been horrible... it keeps freezing up all my programs. | 02:04 |
| durka | there is a line that says "timeout 10" | 02:04 |
| tj1515 | 64 or x86 | 02:05 |
| * Firefishe is still using Feisty 7.04, the box is almost five years old, kde is 3.5.6, and life is good :) | 02:05 | |
| justdave | hmm, actually, it's got a whole mess of partitions on the drive right now... | 02:05 |
| Swatfoot | lets play whos line is it ahhha | 02:05 |
| hjc | sorry about this begginer question but when i am manually partitioning my Ubuntu for a duall boot on Ubuntu 7.10 live cd what should I do? | 02:05 |
| justdave | some of them are shadow partitions intended for emergency restore and so forth | 02:05 |
| illriginal | x86 | 02:05 |
| Gazoz | so should i change it to 0 | 02:05 |
| lwizardl | Gazoz: durka has the correct info, or google on how to remove XP from the loader and then partition the XP drive | 02:05 |
| === deni is now known as deny | ||

| justdave | if I dd an iso image onto one of those partitions, would it be bootable from there? :) | 02:05 |
| Vicfred | how do i mount a mp3 player which is not mounting automatically? | 02:06 |

| tonyyarusso | hjc: Essentially, you can make it as simple or as complicated as you like. :) | 02:06 |
| justdave | yeah, it's got internet | 02:06 |
| lwizardl | anyone here have experience with setup linux POS (point of sale) machines using ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| durka | Gazoz: yeah, but I would leave it at 1 or 2; in case you change your mind you can cancel the automatic boot by pressing an arrow key | 02:06 |
| tonyyarusso | hjc: However, the most basic tip is install Windows first, Ubuntu second. | 02:06 |
| bazhang | then either will do justdave | 02:06 |

| hisingh1 | Hello! anyone familiar with how to clear the terminal history | 02:16 |
| bazhang | SilverMx, those may only be covered with beta driver as they are so new; you can try envyng-gtk to test though | 02:16 |
| lwizardl | anyone here have experience with setting up Linux POS (Point of Sale) machines ? | 02:16 |

| Firefishe | not I lwizardl | 02:16 |
| BinaryFu | Firefishe: What kind of error do you get if you run it from a Linux partition though? | 02:16 |
| BinaryFu | Firefishe: I'm guessing not an NTFS-fs error | 02:17 |
| bazhang | Firefishe, seems an error reading from the ntfs partition | 02:17 |
| BinaryFu | bazhang: That's what I'm thinking, but he said he's getting similar from a 'nix partition. | 02:17 |
| SilverMx | bazhang: wow, where i can get that driver? | 02:17 |
| Firefishe | BinaryFu: That is the error I get when running it from the linux partition. I'm using either xmms or amarok to read the file *on the ntfs partition*. That output is in ALT-F1 Terminal. | 02:17 |
| bazhang | !info envyng-gtk | SilverMx | 02:18 |
| ubottu | silvermx: envyng-gtk (source: envyng-gtk): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 324 kB | 02:18 |
| BinaryFu | Firefishe: Okay, maybe I'm not too clear on how I say this..."If the music file, is relocated to the Linux partition, and then played, while in Linux...what happens?" | 02:18 |
| bazhang | Firefishe, no ntfs on linux | 02:18 |
| SilverMx | ubottu: just only 324 kb ?! oh my god | 02:19 |
| ubottu | SilverMx: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:19 |
| SilverMx | nice ^^ | 02:19 |
| Firefishe | bazhang: Actually, the read/write problem, so far as I thought, was supposed to have been handled. | 02:19 |
| Firefishe | bazhang: Hasn't it? | 02:19 |
| SilverMx | bazhang: only 324 kb ?! ^^ | 02:19 |
| BinaryFu | Firefishe: It's been handled as well as Paris Hilton. | 02:19 |
| bazhang | Firefishe, copy some over to your ubuntu partition and try again | 02:20 |
| BinaryFu | ^^ | 02:20 |
| afallenhope | w00t | 02:20 |
| Firefishe | bazhang: And, so far as read-only is concerned, I have never had a problem with that until now. | 02:20 |
| afallenhope | is there a front-end for ufw? | 02:20 |
| afallenhope | like GUI? | 02:20 |

| woli | oh, like in msn | 02:23 |

| eric_noob | How to reassign the shortcut for deskbar-applet to another key sequence, I just don't see where to do it | 02:24 |
| Firefishe | bazhang: Apparently the file must be corrupt. I say this because it copied all of 512KB over to my kde desktop, but it also gave me an error popup which said it couldn't copy it, at least it didn't copy it all. Just the front part of End of the Innocence by | 02:24 |
| Firefishe | Don Henley | 02:24 |
| Firefishe | fingers slipped LOL | 02:25 |

| Roey | hello all. I have pidgin freezing on me in Ubuntu 8.04 only 20s after I launch it... anyone else get this? | 02:25 |
| Roey | hey randall | 02:25 |
| robdig | wobblywu: do you mean when you boot or when you open a shell? | 02:25 |
| bazhang | Firefishe, best boot into windows and defrag that partition pronto | 02:26 |
| BinaryFu | Firefishe: It could be possible that bazhang NAILED the issue in under 20 seconds when he said your NTFS partition could have an issue. | 02:26 |
| randall | hey roey | 02:26 |
| eric_noob | which action control deskbar- i don't seem to see it listed there | 02:26 |
| wobblywu | robdig, when I boot (or, specifically, log into my session) | 02:26 |

| bazhang | BinaryFu, just thought of it after reading what you wrote | 02:27 |
| robdig | wobblywu: looking | 02:27 |
| Starnestommy | david__: what exactly are you trying to do with gcc? | 02:27 |
| wobblywu | robdig, thanks :) | 02:27 |
| Firefishe | BinaryFu: There are two music files in that folder. I successfully tranfered the other one over, and it is playing fine. The other one not only didn't transfer completely and gave me an error, but it also gave that weird output at http://pastebin.com/m481f446f when played in a music player. | 02:27 |
| david__ | make files | 02:27 |
| david__ | and just general c compiling | 02:27 |
| BinaryFu | bazhang: Awww shucks, glad I could throw my two cents over the cliff. :) | 02:27 |
| bazhang | robdig, that should be in sessions startup | 02:27 |

| Firefishe | sorry...leading space in front of $ as in $ clear | 02:28 |
| BinaryFu | Firefishe: If the defrag doesn't cut it, then yeah, the file itself could have been chopped up and served to some mean codemonger as sushi. | 02:28 |
| hisingh1 | <Firefishe> if i do that it just clears the terminal screen, i wnat to clear the whole history | 02:28 |

| wobblywu | minus the / | 02:29 |

| ubuntufreak | What is the best backup utility for Ubuntu 8.04 | 02:29 |
| wobblywu | wait nevermind, that was a stupid question -- confused a few files there | 02:29 |
| BinaryFu | ubuntufreak: The one that works for your scenario...I think there's a few Cli and a few GUI | 02:30 |
| hisingh1 | <BinaryFu> i dont care much about chat history, i care about Terminal history | 02:30 |
| Firefishe | BinaryFu, bazhang: One other weird thing is, when I boot into doze, it takes *forever*. The h/d spins and spins and spins, then, after about 5 minutes, finally stops, but occasionally speeds up again, hangs everything up for a long time, then quiets down again. | 02:30 |
| Firefishe | Not that I like that side of the drive much these days :) | 02:30 |

| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy> what will that do? i tried it but nothing happened | 02:32 |
| jeyk | is there a way I can tell apt-get to always include the "-dev" versions of packages? I'm getting quite irritated by having to track down the appropriate missing packages always... (e.g. for "imagemagick" I also turned out to need "libmagick9-dev") | 02:32 |
| ubuntufreak | BinaryFu: Complete system backup | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: exit all terminals, then go back in. | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: the history should be clear | 02:32 |

| arbir | anybody knows shortcut keys for Totem player ? | 02:33 |
| hisingh1 | thanks a lot <Starnestommy> | 02:33 |
| hisingh1 | <jeyk> i think it is best to make an alias | 02:33 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: that won't stop new things from being added to the history, though | 02:33 |

| SebNaitsabes | k | 02:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | l | 02:33 |
| jeyk | hisingh1: an alias to what? | 02:33 |
| BinaryFu | ubuntufreak: Hop on into synaptic package manager and do a search "system backup" you'll find scads of things in there. | 02:33 |
| ubuntufreak | BinaryFu: Ok would that now | 02:34 |
| jeyk | hisingh1: it's not as simple as "imagemagick-dev" when installing "imagemagick" --- I had to install "libmagick9-dev" to get the devel stuff | 02:34 |

| jeyk | Swatfoot: you need to add a #!/usr/bin/python line to the top of your file | 02:35 |

| afallenhope | BinaryFu: it's broadcom running a b43 driver | 02:46 |
| mixter | lots of problems with this card | 02:46 |
| Gr34t3st | it's really cheap. That's why I'm using it to test ubuntu | 02:46 |
| Swatfoot | <jeyk> I made it a executable ,but seems it is not being read from my path am i missing a command | 02:46 |

| d4t4min3r | im searching synaptic and it doesnt have libdvdcss | 02:47 |
| pen | BinaryFu, you mean you want me to use dmix? | 02:47 |
| BinaryFu | afallenhope: You just trying for packet sniffing over a LAN or are we talking WAN here? Because, there's VERY few cards that WAN works on yet. | 02:47 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: you need the medibuntu repositories to install libdvdcss through the package manager | 02:48 |

| DemonicButthead | lol | 02:48 |
| afallenhope | BinaryFu: WAN | 02:48 |
| BinaryFu | pen: ? | 02:48 |
| mixter | any idea Starnestommy? | 02:48 |
| Steve-cal | Gr34t3st: OK, I'm not even sure 128 MB is enough for Ubuntu--have you checked the ubuntu website for minimum system requirements? | 02:48 |
| BinaryFu | afallenhope: Yeah, best bet, find out which cards are supported, and go buy one. | 02:48 |
| Starnestommy | mixter: try bazhang's link | 02:49 |
| pen | BinaryFu, well, I don't quite get what you mean in your response | 02:49 |
| theFATMAN | hey, my fellow ubuntians | 02:49 |
| afallenhope | BinaryFu: I have a "supported card" I just don't like using USB prisms | 02:49 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: is that at http://packages.medibuntu.org | 02:49 |
| mixter | will that also work with compiz? | 02:49 |
| bazhang | Gr34t3st, best to up the ram or have a really slow system (if any); may also try fluxbuntu | 02:49 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: it is | 02:49 |
| d4t4min3r | what repo do i need to add | 02:49 |
| DrthHmstr | you tell me | 02:49 |
| BinaryFu | pen: I mean, I prefer ALSA for everything. It just plain works, gives me multi-sounds, etc...and isn't quirky or buggy, and I don't have to tweak it, mod it, or alter it. | 02:49 |
| hisingh1 | will a live cd work with wubi?? | 02:49 |
| hisingh1 | i try and it says disk not found | 02:50 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 02:50 |
| theFATMAN | does anyone know a good 'x' format to dvd conversion programs? | 02:50 |
| BinaryFu | afallenhope: There's not a lot of GUI luv out there for packet sniffing...you named the two that are out there. | 02:50 |
| mixter | i love you guys | 02:50 |
| Gr34t3st | Steve-cal: Ok it says 256 mb is required | 02:50 |
| pen | BinaryFu, really? you mean pure alsa? | 02:50 |
| DemonicButthead | I have a problem with unpacking tar-balls.. can anyone help me out? | 02:50 |
| theFATMAN | 'x' being avi, xvid, etc., etc. | 02:50 |
| === pyth0n is now known as PyTh0n | ||
| wishie | theFATMAN: ffmpeg :) | 02:50 |
| Starnestommy | DemonicButthead: what kind of problem is it? | 02:50 |
| pen | BinaryFu, I thought alsa mixing is only works with dmix | 02:50 |
| BinaryFu | pen: Well, as pure as ubuntu will let you without going, "Fine, remove that and I take the Desktop home with me...*pout*" | 02:51 |
| theFATMAN | wishie: so that will convert any to dvd? | 02:51 |
| pen | BinaryFu, is there any sideeffect? | 02:51 |
| Steve-cal | Gr34t3st: Well, that's your answere then. :) As bazhang mentioned while you were away, you should either up the RAM or maybe look at fluxbuntu. | 02:51 |
| wishie | theFATMAN: its cmd line, and complicated, but..sure | 02:51 |
| TMLer | can someone plz help me install a gtk theme, it has no index.theme so I can't select it | 02:51 |
| DemonicButthead | Starnestommy- I go here.. http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showpost.php?p=35679&postcount=2 and download the http://personales.ya.com/telemako/makefusion.tar.gz tarball to my desktop | 02:51 |
| BinaryFu | pen: Yes...gotta be careful with this part, I do have to say there is one MAJOR side effect... | 02:51 |
| wishie | theFATMAN: for easy to use stuff, try ManDVD (i think it converts to, or might be FROM dvd) | 02:51 |
| theFATMAN | wishie: whoa, lol, i dont know that much cmd line yet | 02:51 |
| mixter | hmm cant find package, guess i need to download envyng-gtk | 02:51 |
| wobblywu | robdig, thanks a lot... googling that got me /.gnome2/session, which seems to do startup in 8.04 | 02:51 |
| wobblywu | robdig, thanks :) | 02:51 |
| Starnestommy | DemonicButthead: cd ~/Desktop; tar xzf makefusion.tar.gz | 02:51 |
| DemonicButthead | STarnestommy- when i type the command they suggest using.. chmod +x makefusion in terminal.. it says no such file or directory | 02:51 |
| afallenhope | BinaryFu: would Ettercap work? | 02:51 |
| Gr34t3st | Steve-cal: What is fluxbuntu | 02:52 |
| bazhang | TMLer, just download the tar.gz, put in a folder then install via the gui in appearances | 02:52 |
| dabbill | Is there a way to change the icon for XChat in the system tray ? | 02:52 |
| BinaryFu | pen: You may get used to listening to more than one sound at a time on your computer, and you might actually consider it becoming your home ET center like I use mine... | 02:52 |
| hisingh1 | Anyone a pro with IRC on TERMINAL? | 02:52 |
| wobblywu | robdig, uh.. /.config/autostart/ I mean | 02:52 |

| afallenhope | hisingh1: what's the issue | 02:52 |
| black9ice | hmmm I have everything working I need to work or want in i686, thinking of trying 64bit, I have 8gig lying on my desk begging for use, should I? lol | 02:52 |
| robdig | wobblywu: cool | 02:52 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: install it with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 02:52 |
| TMLer | bazhang, i did that but in appearance - theme it doesn't show up | 02:52 |

| === pyth0n is now known as PyTh0n | ||

| danonura | i'm locked out of computer after hardy upgrade. it prompts for admin pwd twice, but 2nd prompts disappears in 1.5 seconds & all i can do is look at desktop | 02:53 |
| Steve-cal | Gr34t3st: It's just a lighter weight Ubuntu. See fluxbuntu.org for details about it. | 02:53 |
| afallenhope | hisingh1: download irsii or Bitch-X | 02:53 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: irssi with screen works great with ssh | 02:53 |
| pen | BinaryFu, cool | 02:53 |
| johnfg | I downloaded and burned the iso for the i386 server, and verified both the sums on the iso and the disk. However, when I try to boot it, i get an error saying i have the wrong system/cpu. | 02:53 |

| afallenhope | sudo apt-get irsii | sudo apt-get install Bitch-X | 02:53 |

| hisingh1 | <Starnestommy apt-get?? | 02:55 |
| Starnestommy | hisingh1: sudo apt-get install screen. | 02:55 |
| BinaryFu | pen: Yeah...it's just really a pain in my backside that they keep coming up with servers to "fix" the "problem" between ALSA and OSS. The problem being...the furry toothed programmers who REFUSE to give up OSS, just because it's "FREE" as in beer, and the audio fans who like to hear stuff come out of their speakers who don't care that ALSA is closed source. | 02:55 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: did you see my errors | 02:55 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: I did | 02:56 |
| wishie | wtf | 02:56 |
| wishie | OSS open ? ALSA closed ? | 02:56 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: just making sure | 02:56 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: and I'm trying to figure out how to fix them | 02:56 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: Question? | 02:56 |
| mixter | Starnestommy can i pm? | 02:56 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 02:56 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: is that right? | 02:56 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: yeah. how did you come to that conclusion | 02:56 |
| d4t4min3r | i should try that maybe | 02:56 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: it is | 02:56 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: I read up on it? | 02:56 |

| hisingh1 | <afallenhope> what are the commands you use in ircII | 02:57 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: what is "open" about OSS (apart from its "free" branch) ? How is ALSA closed source, when i submitted patches to it just a few hours ago | 02:57 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: And found that ALSA uses some closed modules in it's makeup and OSS is OPEN SOURCE SOUND? | 02:57 |
| pen | BinaryFu, btw, if you switch back to alsa | 02:57 |
| afallenhope | it's irssi | 02:57 |
| pen | BinaryFu, how do you deal with OSS apps? | 02:57 |
| afallenhope | personally I like bitchx | 02:58 |
| pen | BinaryFu, with pulseaudio I can say padsp | 02:58 |
| Starnestommy | BinaryFu: ALSA itself is open, but some drivers are closed | 02:58 |

| wishie | ALSA has 2 main methods of OSS compatibility | 02:58 |
| pen | BinaryFu, which guide do you follow to remove pulseaudio? | 02:58 |
| pen | BinaryFu, I think maybe I should give it a try | 02:58 |
| particle_man | hello everyone | 02:59 |
| BinaryFu | pen: I personally don't remove it, I just cut it off at the knees by telling the sound system to only use ALSA. | 02:59 |
| bittin | Hi particle_man | 02:59 |
| d4t4min3r | any ideas Starnestommy | 02:59 |
| ex777 | anyone konw if emerald is compat with ubuntu 8.x, yes/no/maybe? | 02:59 |

| particle_man | just loaded up Hardy, installed all updates and everything, and ctrl-f doesn't work in Firefox | 02:59 |

| particle_man | it brings up the search bar, but it can't find anything, nor does it autosearch for text. I also dled firefox 3rc1 and installed in a separate directory, with no luck | 03:00 |
| particle_man | works fine in Nautilus though | 03:00 |
| wishie | why is everyone so quick to give crap to pulseaudio ? | 03:00 |
| mixter | it says i cant us ea graphics card because of proprietary drivers | 03:00 |
| particle_man | anyway ideas? | 03:00 |
| particle_man | any ideas rather | 03:00 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: Here's a thought, because it doesn't always work yet. | 03:00 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: And ALSA does. | 03:00 |
| Speedy | wishie, i think you need sudo rm /rf /bin | 03:00 |
| wishie | perhaps if it was setup to work for most apps out of the box, and its helper applications were installed by default, itd work | 03:00 |
| pen | BinaryFu, btw, what packages should I install for alsa oss | 03:00 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: yea just did it agin and same error when i do the gpg key | 03:00 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: my god man. PulseAudio has worked for AGES. when setup. | 03:00 |
| Speedy | *-rf | 03:00 |
| d4t4min3r | no public key.... | 03:00 |
| clayd | can i use Remote Desktop Viewer to connect to a windows xp box? | 03:00 |
| sergiu | hi | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | wishie: don't do the command that Speedy recommended, it'll screw up things really bad | 03:00 |
| sergiu | anyone know, how to install GTK+-2.10 on ubuntu hardy | 03:01 |
| wishie | i know :) | 03:01 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: I don't want to "setup" I want it to WORK when I install the OS. | 03:01 |
| Byron1 | Housefly is that dual monitors with laptop? | 03:01 |
| jtaylor13 | group: i have no problem with firefox when using wifi it is fine.tonight i just got my cell phone wireless card working. | 03:01 |
| johnny_ | how do i figure out what drive i need for my ati graphics card? | 03:01 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: I'm not sure how to fix it | 03:01 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: then tell the packagers/releasers to setup it up properly | 03:01 |
| Steve-cal | clayd: If you Windows XP box has a VNC server, yes. :) | 03:01 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: any other way to watch the dvd.... | 03:01 |
| Speedy | johnny_, google and the model of your card | 03:01 |
| Housefly7k | Byron1: yeah with a laptop, Inspiron 8500 | 03:01 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: i installed vlc and it wont play it.. any other way to i guess install libdvdcss | 03:01 |
| * particle_man awaits an answer | 03:01 | |
| johnny_ | how do i find out the model Speedy | 03:01 |
| Speedy | johnny_, on the box:? | 03:02 |
| johnny_ | dont have one | 03:02 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: Or, I could beg them to stop with the stupid server nonsense, and leave that as an option for those who really want to have a NETWORK JUKEBOX, and leave my audio clean and sweet sounding. | 03:02 |
| mixter | ok heres a better question where do i download envyng-gtk | 03:02 |
| johnny_ | its in my laptop | 03:02 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: But neither of those options is going to work...I'm not a programmer, they won't listen to me. | 03:02 |
| Starnestommy | d4t4min3r: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 03:02 |
| Speedy | johnny_, did the laptop not come in a box? | 03:02 |
| johnny_ | no | 03:02 |
| Speedy | lol | 03:02 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: its not just that, actually. PulseAudio beings alot of new features to the table, supports automatic 'upmixing', on-the-fly card switching etc | 03:02 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: per stream volume controls, reliable network sound, and many other things. | 03:03 |
| johnny_ | does anyone know how i find out what driver i need to download for an ati card | 03:03 |
| Lanlost | Envy | 03:03 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: its a FAR CRY from the 'servers' like esd and arts. | 03:03 |
| mixter | johnny what kind of card | 03:03 |
| Lanlost | johnny_, which card? | 03:03 |
| johnny_ | ati mixter | 03:03 |
| hisingh1_ | hello | 03:03 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: And when they all work fine, and the developers set it up to work "out of the box" I'll give it a go. Until then, ALSA works just peachy for me, because I don't need a network server for my sound. | 03:03 |
| johnny_ | how do i find out what model it is? | 03:03 |
| mixter | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installation_of_both_ATi_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers johny | 03:03 |
| Housefly7k | Byron1: is it supposed to be plug and play in Hardy or not yet? | 03:03 |
| mixter | i know thats the link | 03:03 |
| mixter | but i dont know what to do with it | 03:03 |
| johnny_ | the card is installed | 03:03 |
| hisingh1_ | great i am now using irc on terminal' | 03:04 |
| Lanlost | Johnny_, have you tried to use Envy? | 03:04 |
| johnny_ | i need to know what driver to install to get compiz running | 03:04 |
| Speedy | envy sucks | 03:04 |
| johnny_ | envy? | 03:04 |
| hisingh1_ | thanks to all | 03:04 |
| Lanlost | .. don't say Envy sucks | 03:04 |
| Speedy | it does | 03:04 |
| Lanlost | there are plenty of times where it sucks | 03:04 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: you have even read how to use PulseAudio ? Do you know of its features ? | 03:04 |
| hisingh1_ | exit | 03:04 |
| croddy | does anyone know if canonical offers a landscape-only support option? we are a university with limited funds and would like access to management tools but we are willing to forego support incidents to reduce costs | 03:04 |
| mixter | i cant even get envy up | 03:04 |
| Lanlost | but there are plenty of times where it works fine too | 03:04 |
| Speedy | and vice versa | 03:04 |
| mixter | this is hopeless | 03:04 |
| mixter | sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk | 03:05 |
| Lanlost | No I mean, what does Envy do wrong? I'm not saying this to be defensive, I'm saying it because I'm literally downloading it right now | 03:05 |
| mixter | i do that and it says its not installed | 03:05 |
| Lanlost | (new install) and if there is a better alternative I would rather know about it | 03:05 |
| Speedy | Laney, what card you got? | 03:05 |
| johnny_ | no package found mixter | 03:05 |
| Starnestommy | Lanlost: the drivers in it aren't tested to work with ubuntu | 03:05 |
| Speedy | Lanlost, what card? | 03:05 |
| hisingh1 | hey how do i exit irssi | 03:05 |
| mixter | same here | 03:05 |
| Lanlost | My card is an ATI x1050 | 03:05 |
| afallenhope | is there a driver that I can install that allows me to use "screencast" as a webcam? | 03:05 |
| mixter | johnny and i have the same question | 03:05 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: Ummm...no. Because...wait for it...ALSA works just fine. No popping noises where I have to adjust 200 levels to get it JUST RIGHT, no suddenly my youtube videos have sound by my rythymbox stopped playing...no...sounds play fine as I'm logging in, but stop completely after the drums...none of that. | 03:05 |
| Lanlost | I bought it because I ruined my Geforce FX by blowing compressed air into and blowing the fan backwards breaking the ball bearings (it was on) | 03:06 |
| Speedy | the x series have issues with driver support, nonetheless, ubuntu has the driver in its repo | 03:06 |
| Speedy | use the package mamager | 03:06 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: I don't have to research pulseaudio to know that when I've used it, it sucks. And so I go to what really works well...alsa. | 03:06 |
| Lanlost | I bought an ATI x1050 instead of an equivilent nVidia thinking ATI had better support. | 03:06 |
| Speedy | ati does have better support | 03:06 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: When it's finally stable and really working smooth out of the box, I'll give it a whirl. | 03:06 |
| Speedy | my 2400HD worked out of the box | 03:06 |
| mixter | speedy can you help me | 03:06 |
| mixter | you make things work | 03:06 |
| Lanlost | Right.. but the ati x1050 is really an 1550 I think | 03:06 |
| hisingh1 | <afallenhope> how do i exit irssi | 03:06 |
| croddy | man i have always had better luck with nvidia than ATI | 03:06 |
| wishie | i give up | 03:06 |
| Lanlost | It's a case of giving it a newer model number even though it's a realllllly old card | 03:07 |
| BinaryFu | Have a good night all. | 03:07 |
| Byron1 | Housefly take a look here http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/multiple-monitors | 03:07 |
| afallenhope | hisingh1: /quit and then exit | 03:07 |
| mixter | what part of this didnt i get sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk? | 03:07 |
| Lanlost | Regardless, my ATI works fine right now.. I mean I've got Compiz, I've got Direct Rendering, everything is working | 03:07 |
| Speedy | Lanlost, dudnt ubuntu auto find you a driver? | 03:07 |
| hisingh1 | thanks | 03:07 |
| Speedy | 8dudnt | 03:07 |
| johnny_ | 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS300M AGP [Radeon Mobility 9100IGP] | 03:07 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: This is the first step to wisdom - don't try to convert someone to your way of thinking when their path is just fine as it is, only different. It's the reason we have all this mess for sound - too many people want to convert everyone else to their way of thinking. | 03:07 |
| johnny_ | what driver would i need to get compiz working ? | 03:07 |
| BinaryFu | Night all | 03:07 |
| Lanlost | The problem is that when I ran glxgears, it would render fine.. but when I move the window.. it keeps an 'imprint' of the old window | 03:07 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: excuse me ? | 03:07 |
| Speedy | the driver for your grfx card -_- | 03:07 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: you were talking about OSS being open ffs, and ALSA being closed ? | 03:08 |
| mixter | exactly speedy, why does tit not worjk | 03:08 |
| cdsmithu1 | Thanks for earlier help. FYI, I solved the sound problem with http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Upgrade | 03:08 |
| wishie | i mean, what the. | 03:08 |
| Speedy | mixter, because of the configuration probably | 03:08 |
| Lanlost | As in, I can move the glxgears window like 10 times and have 11 'windows' of glxgears open.. only one active. As soon as I move another window over the old ones they erase | 03:08 |
| Speedy | maybe its blacklisted? | 03:08 |
| mixter | can i fix it | 03:08 |
| Speedy | yes you can | 03:08 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: Go read things. Like, what OSS stands for. And what drivers are in ALSA. | 03:08 |
| mixter | it says my card uses proprietary driversd | 03:08 |
| BinaryFu | wishie: Until then, don't try to argue with someone who has already done so. | 03:08 |
| Speedy | try SHIP_CHECK=yes compiz | 03:08 |
| BinaryFu | nite | 03:08 |
| Lanlost | so I glxgears -info and it says | 03:08 |
| wishie | BinaryFu: read the debuggingsound page on ubuntu forums ? heard of alsa-info.sh ? | 03:08 |
| Lanlost | GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 8x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL | 03:09 |
| Speedy | yeah yhea | 03:09 |
| Speedy | try SHIP_CHECK=yes compiz | 03:09 |
| Lanlost | so I'm obviously not using my ATI drivers | 03:09 |
| crd1b | Speedy: SKIP_CHECKS | 03:09 |
| Speedy | and see what happens | 03:09 |
| Lanlost | I must be using a software mesa implementation (I'm assuming thats what mesa is) | 03:09 |
| Speedy | oh wait | 03:09 |
| Speedy | you are using mesa | 03:09 |
| Speedy | you need to be using the ati drivers | 03:09 |
| Housefly7k | Why cant I get this second monitor to work, I tried it with my brothers laptop Windows XP and it just came on... so I know it worksNw just to get it to work with ubuntu | 03:09 |
| mixter | speedy nvidia doesnt have my driver son there site? | 03:09 |
| Lanlost | I don't know how to check which driver I'm actually using because I usually get it from xorg.conf | 03:09 |
| DaveyJ | recently i've been having problems with my sound drivers; like if firefox is open,amarok wont work. now when i try to run amarok it says it coudlnt initialize the xine engine | 03:09 |
| mixter | i have an nvidia go 7150 | 03:09 |
| DaveyJ | any ideas? | 03:09 |
| Speedy | oh nvidia, sorry dude and dont talk abotu nvidua | 03:09 |
| Lanlost | but my xorg.conf is pretty... after-install-standard | 03:09 |
| Lanlost | as in default settings in each section | 03:10 |
| mixter | dont talka bout it? | 03:10 |
| mixter | im so confused | 03:10 |
| hi | hey | 03:10 |
| node357 | hey hi | 03:10 |
| Speedy | nope, there are some things i avoid in life, like ruby, apple macs and nvidia etc etc | 03:10 |
| Lanlost | I love linux, I used slack forever.. but in multi-terminal mode. When I used xwindows, I just used vesa and fluxbox | 03:10 |
| d4t4min3r | Starnestommy: ok libdvdcss2 and 3 are installed | 03:10 |
| d4t4min3r | and it still not reading | 03:10 |
| mixter | i understand | 03:10 |
| lwizardl | anyone here have experience with setting up Linux POS (Point of Sale) machines ? | 03:10 |
| Lanlost | so somehow I have no idea how to definitively check which display driver I'm using for X | 03:10 |
| Byron1 | Housefly linux uses xorg.conf for video. I believe you need to have two xorg files. It doesn;t just work | 03:11 |
| mixter | can anyone help me download envyng? | 03:11 |
| crd1b | Lanlost: your problem is currently not fixable | 03:11 |
| mixter | is there a link? | 03:11 |
| Lanlost | mixter, yes. | 03:11 |
| Lanlost | crdlb, whys that? | 03:11 |
| d4t4min3r | lwizardl: what distro is that... for a linux POS? | 03:11 |
| node357 | isn't envy bad? | 03:11 |
| crd1b | Lanlost: do not try to use the ATI driver to fix it, it will not help | 03:11 |
| node357 | !envy | 03:11 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 03:11 |
| Lanlost | Where are you getting this information? | 03:11 |
| node357 | oh kool, it's good | 03:11 |
| Byron1 | Housefly Did you take a look at the link? | 03:11 |
| d4t4min3r | can anyone help me with a dvd prolem | 03:11 |
| crd1b | Lanlost: the problem is that no driver other than nvidia's supports redirected direct rendering. DRI2 will fix that eventually, but not yet | 03:12 |
| d4t4min3r | i cant get a dvd to play | 03:12 |
| hisingh1_ | cool, irssi and ircII both work great' | 03:12 |
| === mussolini is now known as timtaylor | ||
| croddy | does envyng build debs? it's unclear from the description | 03:12 |
| lwizardl | d4t4min3r, I'm trying to find information on ubuntu for the os but information online seems to be very small chunks | 03:12 |
| Siph0n | hey, Devede is taking hours to convert my AVI movie into an iso image... is that normal? or is there any other way to do it faster? | 03:12 |
| Lanlost | crdlb, can I pm you real quick? I'll keep it short, theres just so much text gong in this chat | 03:12 |
| DemonicButthead | why do the adobe non-free flash drivers fail constantly? | 03:12 |
| Speedy | Siph0n, depends on the sizr | 03:12 |
| bruenig | lwizardl: what do you mean information for the OS? | 03:12 |
| black9ice | hmmm I have everything working I need to work or want in i686, thinking of trying 64bit, I have 8gig lying on my desk begging for use, should I? lol | 03:12 |
| Speedy | *size | 03:12 |
| === timtaylor is now known as timthetoolman | ||
| Housefly7k | Byron1: sorry I missed that, checking the link now thanks | 03:12 |
| Speedy | and compression rate and alogrythm | 03:12 |
| DemonicButthead | ie.. 1 hour after installing them.. flash stops working entirely? | 03:13 |
| crd1b | johnny_: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? | 03:13 |
| === crd1b is now known as crdlb | ||
| Siph0n | Speedy, its not that long, maybe 2 hours, and the avi is only 700meg | 03:13 |
| lwizardl | bruenig, no stuff like if thisbrand is compatible with ubuntu etc | 03:13 |
| johnny_ | rendering yes crdlb | 03:13 |
| DemonicButthead | or just not load on any random website for no reason? | 03:13 |
| Lanlost | crdlb, what do I need direct rendering for? I mean, what's the problem you are talking about? The fact that when I move the window it doesn't redraw correctly? | 03:13 |
| Lanlost | I've used an ATI driver before for this card.. and had it be 3d acceled.. | 03:13 |
| crdlb | johnny_: join #compiz-fusion for a moment please | 03:13 |

| jgraham__ | anyone know how to hide dot files when viewing the file system with firefox, ie when you are looking for a place to save a file, print... ? | 03:13 |
| hisingh1 | can i use pidgen on terminal | 03:14 |
| black9ice | is there a 64bit channel? | 03:14 |
| bazhang | hisingh1, no | 03:14 |
| bruenig | lwizardl: hardware support is a linux thing, not an ubuntu thing | 03:14 |
| Lanlost | crdlb, you don't need to give me an answer, but it would be nice if you could give me a link to this information or forum or anything so I can research it for myself. | 03:14 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: ok let me explain differently. You have 3d acceleration (ie OpenGL), but when using compiz, the opengl stuff is drawn directly to the screen | 03:14 |
| croddy | jgraham__, press ctrl+h in the file picker | 03:14 |

| jgraham__ | croddy, rad! thanks | 03:15 |
| Siph0n | hisingh1, I use Pidgin and XChat | 03:15 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: to make moving opengl windows like glxgears work correctly, the opengl must be redirected | 03:15 |
| croddy | hisingh1, naim does at least AIM but it's no pidgin | 03:15 |
| Speedy | Sonja, | 03:15 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: neither of the ati drivers supports that yet | 03:15 |
| Speedy | Sonja, its an error in the application | 03:15 |
| Lanlost | and thats just direct rendering right? | 03:15 |
| Speedy | looks like a programmer error, IndexOutOfBounds | 03:15 |
| Lanlost | because I'm not using an ATI driver right now.. I'm using Mesa | 03:15 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DirectRenderingToRedirectedWindows | 03:16 |
| Lanlost | I mean I have direct rendering enabled.. according to glxinfo | 03:16 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: you are using the open source driver, which uses Mesa for its OpenGL implementation and DRI support | 03:16 |
| croddy | is there any way to get hide/sticky buttons on metacity and/or the GTK compiz decorator? | 03:16 |

| Speedy | sonja you need the latest version of iriverter, if thats what you have then file a bug report, the problem is the code tries to access the -1th element of an array which is outof bounds | 03:17 |
| Housefly7k | Sorry, didnt mean to flood, but thats basically what i have in my xorg, they have much more | 03:17 |
| d4t4min3r | can someone help me with a dvd problem | 03:18 |

| crdlb | afallenhope: shift+alt+up by default | 03:19 |
| Housefly7k | kwan: transmission is simple, not alot of options for seeding and such but it does the job for me | 03:19 |
| afallenhope | thanks ! | 03:19 |
| Housefly7k | kwan: my friend uses utorrent and azureus | 03:19 |
| bittin | Housefly7k: same here =) | 03:19 |
| shawnfaulconer1 | anyone, i need help with the scanModem thing | 03:19 |
| afallenhope | oooohhh! what's the CTRL + ALT + DELETE equivelancy? | 03:19 |
| Lanlost | crdlb, so.. .. I guess I'm just confused here. I am using an open source _ATI_ driver which uses Mesa? Is this what ATI cards are supposed to use? | 03:19 |
| ZimCS | Does anyone know why Ubuntu wouldn't be connecting to a network while running in VMware Workstation? | 03:19 |
| Lanlost | the glxgears thing doesn't really bother me.. what am I going to lose out on from not having this direct rendering redirecting thing | 03:20 |
| dimas869 | housefly7k i just update to hardy and i dont know where i can enable medibutu | 03:20 |
| bittin | Housefly7k: u can't run utorrent in ubuntu without wine | 03:20 |
| shawnfaulconer1 | it says to put it in home folder with modem??? im a newb | 03:20 |
| bobboy | Should I install firefox RC1 over B5? | 03:20 |
| kwan | Housefly7k, utorrent is available on linux? cool | 03:20 |
| bittin | kwan: its not :P | 03:20 |
| Lanlost | shouldn't I still use a different ATI driver? As far as I know, I'm not using one.. the restricted driver manager says I can use it. | 03:20 |
| Housefly7k | bittin: i think they both use wine | 03:20 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: what you lose is that opengl doesn't work well in compiz. If you switch to the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx), you'd have the same problem | 03:20 |
| bittin | not Azareus | 03:20 |
| bittin | but theres a good thing if u like utorrent | 03:20 |
| bittin | thats like it | 03:20 |
| Housefly7k | kwan: yeah sorry I meant you, it uses wine | 03:20 |
| bittin | just need to remember the name :P | 03:20 |
| kwan | bittin: Housefly7k here is giving me that idea lol | 03:20 |
| Housefly7k | kwan: try Deluge | 03:21 |

| kwan | bittin: so you got any suggestions? I used azureus like a year ago on edgy, wasn't really feeling it. | 03:22 |
| squarebracket | if i want to do a re-install, is there a way i can back up the dpkg list and then just "restore" it such that it downloads them all again? | 03:22 |
| bittin | kwan: Deluge is nice =) | 03:22 |
| bobboy | bittin: screenshots --> http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=163414 | 03:22 |
| Housefly7k | transmission has a little more optionsin osx that arent available in ubuntu | 03:22 |

| Ryoushi | wers - there is no "right screen depth setting". It's all personal preference. | 03:26 |
| minusidea | it wasn't doing that earlier - now it just started. it's really strange. | 03:26 |

| squarebracket | Housefly7k: thanks!!! | 03:26 |

| Lanlost | crdlb, so every ATI has this problem? I guess I'm just confused on why ATI has better 'support' if something like compiz doesn't work well. | 03:27 |

| WhoNeedszzz | so does anyone know when ff3rc1 will be released in synaptic? | 03:27 |
| cruddpuppet | How do I use grep to get something like " `tusf_members_converge`" through command line? | 03:27 |
| TreoSyncHelp | Hello... I've been trying to sync a Treo 650 with Ubuntu and cannot get it to work. | 03:27 |
| Lanlost | I don't know what to put back into xorg.conf becuase I don't know the drivers name | 03:27 |
| bobboy | WhoNeedszzz: kk | 03:27 |
| cruddpuppet | Every time I do it, it thinks I'm using `tusf_members_converge` as command output | 03:27 |
| bobboy | mixter: sell me maxthon | 03:27 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: who told you that? nvidia has tons of issues that will hold them back, but at the moment, they have the most mature driver | 03:27 |
| zero88 | Byron1, well if I was adding a number to a cell, like 0089588, it only excepts 89588 and does not show the two zeros before the number | 03:27 |
| _s_a_t_a_n_ | i've made an ubuntu livecd, plz help me debug it, I get a kernel panic saying that no valid root= boot option was passed into kernel | 03:28 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: the name of the current driver is either 'ati' or 'radeon' (ati is a wrapper for multiple drivers) | 03:28 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: you can see that in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:28 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bobboy, don't listen to him, ff is better than any browser, _especially_ with security | 03:28 |
| zero88 | _s_a_t_a_n_, make a new one | 03:28 |
| mixter | sell? | 03:28 |
| mixter | i dont sell | 03:28 |
| _s_a_t_a_n_ | veery funny zero88 | 03:29 |
| mixter | maxthon is an ie replacmeent | 03:29 |
| Ryoushi | Lanlost - ATI does not have better support. This is well known. Ignore anyone who says otherwise. | 03:29 |
| kwan | bittin: buddy, are you experienced linux user yourself? I got this thing that's botherin me at bootup. It doesn't affect the functionality of my system but when it starts up, a pattern of "[[C^" fills out the screen as the OS loads up | 03:29 |
| WhoNeedszzz | mixter, so is ff | 03:29 |
| mixter | when used in conjunction with ff they are unstoppable | 03:29 |
| mixter | whatever ff dont do, mathon do | 03:29 |
| WhoNeedszzz | bs | 03:29 |
| mixter | whatever maxthon dont do ff do | 03:29 |
| bobboy | WhoNeedszzz: kk... mixter: sell as in promote lol | 03:29 |
| WhoNeedszzz | name something that ff doesn't do | 03:29 |
| mixter | uninstall your IE replace it with maxthon | 03:29 |
| bittin | kwan: never heard about that problem before | 03:29 |
| tritium | Stay on topic, WhoNeedszzz, mixter, bobboy. | 03:29 |
| mixter | use firefox | 03:29 |
| _s_a_t_a_n_ | Can anybody help me make the right proper livecd? | 03:29 |
| bobboy | mixter: im on ubuntu man i hate IE | 03:29 |
| zero88 | _s_a_t_a_n_, when you mean made a livecd do you mean just burining the iso to a cd? | 03:29 |
| mandrig | whenever i open windows http://pixloads.com/public/pview/55008/Screenshot.png that happens | 03:29 |
| mixter | exactly | 03:29 |
| WhoNeedszzz | tritium: how are we not on topic? | 03:29 |
| crdlb | zero88: format the cell and set the number of leading zeros | 03:30 |
| mixter | i cant even get my gfx card to work with hardy | 03:30 |
| mandrig | the main title bar is not shown | 03:30 |
| mixter | so taker it easy boys | 03:30 |
| tritium | WhoNeedszzz: the topic is not browswer wars, it is ubuntu support | 03:30 |
| Rixon- | anyone here run virtualbox ose? | 03:30 |
| johnfg | Sorry guys, i asked a question then had to take off. Any idea why the i386 server would say that i have the wrong cpu? | 03:30 |
| Ryoushi | mandrig - Your window decorator is disabled | 03:30 |
| zero88 | crdlb, I have, it still doesnt work | 03:30 |
| Rixon- | when i install it with the package manager it wont install the kernel module vboxdrv | 03:30 |
| WhoNeedszzz | tritium: yes but it isn't really a browser war as i am informing bobboy of the security of ff | 03:30 |
| Ryoushi | mandrig - hit alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" | 03:30 |
| _s_a_t_a_n_ | no zero88 I made my own initrd file, and used an ordinary ubuntu kernel | 03:30 |
| Mago_seiyu | hola amigos ! | 03:31 |
| WhoNeedszzz | mixter was the one who came in saying screw ff | 03:31 |
| crdlb | zero88: you'll have to be more specific than that | 03:31 |
| Mago_seiyu | hay alguien ! | 03:31 |
| johnfg | At present i'm running Fedora 9 for i386 with no problems. | 03:31 |
| zero88 | _s_a_t_a_n_, kk forget what i said then ;) | 03:31 |
| `Kermudge | Simple question I hope. Is there a plugin/script for Xchat that will allow for auto ops? Actually would like something that does way more than that. But Auto ops helps. | 03:31 |
| mandrig | Ryoushi: Thanks, that fixed it | 03:31 |
| Ryoushi | mandrig - You're welcome ^.^ | 03:31 |
| Mago_seiyu | hola | 03:32 |
| zero88 | crdlb, what do you mean. with my answer or question. becuase i formatted the cells, added one leading zero, and tried adding it, but it doesnt stay with the number it disappears once i go to a new cell | 03:32 |
| mandrig | Ryoushi: Its a bad setting somewhere in my compizconfig, as metacity --replace just reset my graphics settings | 03:32 |
| WhoNeedszzz | but back to my original question. Does anyone know when ff3rc1 will be released in synaptic? | 03:32 |
| Housefly7k | zero88: add more leading zeros | 03:32 |
| crdlb | zero88: one leading zero won't do anything | 03:32 |
| tritium | WhoNeedszzz: no, that is not known yet | 03:33 |
| mandrig | Ryoushi: But I believe i just found the underlying problem anyway :) | 03:33 |
| bazhang | !ff3rc | WhoNeedszzz | 03:33 |
| ubottu | WhoNeedszzz: The Firefox 3 RC package is not currently available as most of the Ubuntu-mozilla team are at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Thanks for your patience. | 03:33 |
| zero88 | Housefly7k, crdlb how many? | 03:33 |
| Ryoushi | mandrig - okie dokie. | 03:33 |
| crdlb | zero88: it's not added in front of the number, but is how many digits there will be | 03:33 |
| zero88 | crdlb, ahh ok it works. nm :). thank you | 03:33 |
| crdlb | zero88: so if you set it to 4, 3 becomes 0003, and 124 becomes 0124 | 03:33 |
| WhoNeedszzz | what the hell is the Ubuntu Developer Summit??? | 03:33 |
| zero88 | crdlb, I didnt know thats how it worked | 03:34 |
| sacamano | can you rip music from an iPod with rhythmbox? | 03:34 |
| Rixon- | obviously a summit, for developers, of ubuntu relates software | 03:34 |
| sacamano | specifically .m4p? | 03:34 |
| tritium | !language | WhoNeedszzz | 03:34 |
| ubottu | WhoNeedszzz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:34 |
| squarebracket | Housefly7k: what did you search for to come up with that? | 03:34 |
| WhoNeedszzz | tritium: oh give me a break man | 03:34 |
| Rixon- | sacamano: yeah look at the tools>plugins | 03:34 |
| kwan | It looks to me either something is wrong with firefox 3 beta or firefox beta 3 is conflicting with flash player in Hardy. When i watch youtube videos (flash videos) the video is lagging like hell | 03:34 |
| crdlb | zero88: 'leading zeroes' is a misleading name for it :) | 03:34 |
| pjv | is there a way to convert flv files into avi in linux? | 03:34 |
| WhoNeedszzz | tritium: if you think "hell" is improper language you are living in one messed up world | 03:34 |
| Housefly7k | squarebracket: " list installed aptget applications ubuntu" | 03:34 |
| kwan | bittin, know anything bout that one? | 03:35 |
| DemonicButthead | Kwan.. the non-free flash drivers suck.. i'm having issues in hardy too | 03:35 |
| mixter | anyone else wanna flame me? | 03:35 |
| DemonicButthead | but Gnash is nothing but a joke anyway | 03:35 |
| bittin | kwan: nah | 03:35 |
| bobboy | no one is flaming you mixter lol | 03:35 |
| letubenaiah | zero88: if you want it to show exactly how many you enter you can format cell and set to text | 03:35 |
| Genius314 | Every once in a while, I'm unable to type in a window until I move to another window or minimize it, or something. It's really annoying, because I go to type and nothing happens. Anyone know what might be the problem? | 03:35 |
| Rixon- | uhm | 03:35 |
| Rixon- | okay | 03:35 |
| Rixon- | mixter | 03:35 |
| Rixon- | you're an idiot | 03:35 |
| FloodBot3 | Rixon-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:35 |
| Rixon- | lol | 03:35 |
| yabbo | sure mixter | holds a candle under mixter | 03:35 |
| mixter | lol | 03:36 |
| tritium | mixter: don't do that | 03:36 |
| mixter | maxthon all the way | 03:36 |
| dma315 | Ever since I installed the new version of Ubuntu, everything has been magnificantly slow, especially rendering of webpages in firefox, is there a way I can get rid of the beta 3.5 and go back to the latest stable version? | 03:36 |
| bobboy | i was merely asking which browser was better and why.. its cool though dont worry about it ill stick with firefox | 03:36 |
| zero88 | letubenaiah, and that will show the amount of zeros? | 03:36 |
| _s_a_t_a_n_ | Can anybody plz give me the answer to a single question: I can install linux on a system, but not a single linux live cd doesn't work on my hardware. Why? | 03:36 |
| excrucio | Have you tried auto proxy settings, dma? | 03:36 |
| bobboy | whoneedszzz is ff3 more stable in ubuntu? i get service unavailable ALL THE TIME AND ITS ANNOYING!!! | 03:36 |
| HappyHater | I'm trying to extract an archive, I keep getting errors telling me I need to start at a previous volume, but I tried the .r00 file and it gives the same error | 03:36 |
| bogey- | seemed unneccessary to ban him | 03:36 |
| letubenaiah | zero88: that will show exactly what you put in so if you put in 03 that is what will show but if you put 003 that will | 03:37 |
| tritium | bogey-: nobody has been banned | 03:37 |
| kwan | DemonicButthead, even the flash player from adobe is like that | 03:37 |
| johnny_ | how do i get compiz 3d cube to pull back ? | 03:37 |
| bbyever | tritium: uhhh that was a bit harsh, dont you think? | 03:37 |
| Lanlost | hey crdlb .. I cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver | 03:37 |
| tritium | +q != +b | 03:37 |
| dma315 | excrucio: Sorry, I'm not too familiar with those, how would that help? | 03:37 |
| Lanlost | (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23 | 03:37 |
| Logrusmage | Hello, anyone up too tackling a wireless Hardy problem? | 03:37 |
| Lanlost | I suppose that means I'm using aiglx already.. | 03:37 |
| DemonicButthead | DMA315 - you can uninstall the firefox beta and load version 2 from synaptic | 03:37 |
| Lanlost | I just was trying to see if I was using vesa or some other driver.. so that I could switch back | 03:37 |
| Lanlost | I guess my last question is this then: | 03:37 |
| Lanlost | How is my driver set to anything without it being in xorg.conf? | 03:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _s_a_t_a_n_ try this At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 03:37 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: if you want to find your driver, you'll have to look in it :) | 03:37 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: autodetection | 03:38 |
| tritium | Rixon-: don't do that again, please | 03:38 |
| Lanlost | ok | 03:38 |
| Lanlost | I just assumed that the autodetection would update xorg.conf | 03:38 |
| Rixon- | what? | 03:38 |
| teimu | Sometimes I install software isn't a package (like you get from apt). How do I make it so that this software gets placed correctly in usr/bin and usr/lib....you know so that it's like it was a package | 03:38 |
| Lanlost | That's something that should be done | 03:38 |
| Lanlost | even if it doens't update xorg.conf | 03:38 |
| crdlb | Lanlost: the xorg.conf is on its way out | 03:38 |
| Lanlost | you would think there would be a file created (for newbs or just for ease of use) that would be like autoconf.org | 03:38 |
| crdlb | the autodetection happens at runtime | 03:38 |
| Genius314 | Okay, I'm using gnome with some QT apps, and I'd like to, if possible, use my GTK+ theme with the QT programs. If not possible, can someone point me to some tutorials or example qt themes that use pixmaps? | 03:38 |
| Logrusmage | Help me get an IP anyone.... please ;_.? | 03:39 |
| johnny_ | what is the super button? | 03:39 |
| teimu | Logrusmage ifconfig | 03:39 |
| Lanlost | Right.. I'm just saying though.. It would be nice if it created an autoconf.org file after it does the autodetect so you dont have to cat a whole bunch of stuff | 03:39 |
| Starnestommy | johnny_: the win key | 03:39 |
| alan_m | the super button is the "windows key" | 03:39 |
| d4t4min3r | msttcorefonts x-ttcidfont this thing is installed and causing all kinds of issues | 03:39 |
| bobboy | WhoNeedszzz is ff3 more stable in ubuntu? i get service unavailable ALL THE TIME AND ITS ANNOYING!!! | 03:39 |
| d4t4min3r | msttcorefonts | 03:39 |
| afallenhope | can you change the desktop for each destkop/ | 03:39 |
| d4t4min3r | can someone helpe me it wont let me unistall it | 03:39 |
| crdlb | Genius314: there is a horrendously broken gtk engine to do the opposite (gtk-qt) | 03:39 |
| afallenhope | desktop? | 03:39 |
| rp3__ | johnny_ the windows key | 03:39 |
| Lanlost | if I change xorg.conf, it overwrites the auto configuration then.. | 03:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bobboy please lose the caps | 03:39 |
| d4t4min3r | synaptic says it cant | 03:39 |
| johnny_ | what is super button 5 then | 03:39 |
| d4t4min3r | add/remove says it cant | 03:39 |
| crdlb | Genius314: and qt4 will have support for exactly what you want | 03:39 |
| crdlb | but that won't help with qt3 apps | 03:40 |
| Jaredu | heyo | 03:40 |
| Jaredu | problem | 03:40 |
| johnny_ | win key + 5 doesnt do anything | 03:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnny_ would that be windows key + #5 | 03:40 |
| Jaredu | i have an nvidia 9800GTX and I can't seem to get a driver for ubuntu 8.04 | 03:40 |
| yabbo | bobboy, i dont think FF3 is going to solve your unavailable problem | 03:40 |
| kwan | bobboy, you having problems watching flash (or youtube) videos with flash player in ff3 too? | 03:40 |
| Genius314 | crdlb: Okay. It's not much of a problem. It's a bit annoying having two different themes though.. :-/ | 03:40 |
| d4t4min3r | what does it mean from the dvd player.. cant read from source | 03:40 |
| orudie | how can i edit a .php file in shell ? | 03:41 |
| johnny_ | didnt do anyting Jack_Sparrow | 03:41 |
| teimu | orudie, vim is a console editor | 03:41 |
| squarebracket | man, i love ubuntu. i wish my tablet worked in it :( | 03:41 |
| crdlb | Genius314: there are a couple of lookalike themes though. For example, qt has a Cleanlooks theme which mimicks gtk's Clearlooks theme | 03:41 |
| Byron1 | orudie I use vim | 03:41 |
| yabbo | Jaredu, i dont think nvidia drivers work in 8.04 yet | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnny_ are you trying to un-zoom? | 03:41 |
| Jaredu | ughhh | 03:41 |
| Byron1 | squarebracket what tablet | 03:41 |
| Charles|2_0 | pr0le: hey! | 03:41 |
| johnny_ | yes Jack_Sparrow | 03:41 |
| Jaredu | only reason i installed linux again is because people told me it'd work | 03:41 |
| `Kermudge | Quess I will try this question again. :) Simple question I hope. Is there a plugin/script for Xchat that will allow for auto ops? Actually would like something that does way more than that. But Auto ops helps. | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnny_ try win and roll the wheel | 03:42 |
| Jaredu | i cant even find a 64 bit 9800gtx driver on their site | 03:42 |
| Charles|2_0 | pr0le: can you see me now! | 03:42 |
| Jaredu | but some people have said they have got it to work | 03:42 |
| yabbo | orudie, vi file | 03:42 |
| Jaredu | gahhhhh | 03:42 |
| squarebracket | Byron1: ISDV4 USB -- not supported by linuxwacom | 03:42 |
| Charles|2_0 | pr0le: over here! | 03:42 |
| bbyever | tritium: IMHO the ban on WhoNeedszzz was unnecesary | 03:42 |
| johnny_ | i can flip it left and right jack | 03:42 |
| johnny_ | nothing else | 03:42 |
| pr0le | I gotcha. | 03:42 |
| DemonicButthead | yabbo.. using the envy-gtk.. i can run an 8800 gt in an x64 image of 8.04 | 03:42 |
| tritium | bbyever: stay on topic, please | 03:42 |
| yabbo | Jaredu, install ubuntu 7.10 | 03:42 |
| kwan | yabbo: mine seemed alright but mine's a 5700 fx tho (super ol school) | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | johnny_ /join #Compiz | 03:42 |
| tritium | bbyever: and sorry you don't feel channel policies are worth following | 03:42 |
| Genius314 | crdlb: Yeah, but I made the theme myself, mainly using the pixmaps engine, so there won't be a KDE look-a-like... Thanks, though. | 03:43 |
| Logrusmage | Help me get an IP anyone? WICD continues to search for an IP when I try to connect to a network. | 03:43 |
| yabbo | i wasnt able to find a nvidia driver for my 8.04 system so i went back to 7.10 with no issues | 03:43 |
| Jaredu | hmm | 03:43 |
| bolito__ | ettercap | 03:43 |
| Jaredu | does 7.10 have any different compiz fusion? | 03:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbyever He thought it was and it is NOT up for debate in here | 03:43 |
| Jaredu | im dualbooting as well... so i dont want to format my entire drive x..x | 03:43 |
| afallenhope | Where can I get the desktop cube? | 03:43 |
| tonyyarusso | `Kermudge: #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of thing. | 03:43 |
| DemonicButthead | speaking of which, what advantage is there to running a 64 bit copy of ubuntu? do any programs even make use of the capabilities? | 03:43 |
| yabbo | Jaredu, ubuntu 8.04 is the newest which means it hasnt been fixed 100% like 7.10 you should download and try 7.10 :) | 03:43 |
| Jaredu | im trying to get a driver from the nvidia site but i cant find it :( 8.04 or not | 03:43 |
| `Kermudge | Thanks tonyy. | 03:44 |
| InHisName | is there drivers for "ASUS EN8500GT SILENT/HTD/256M GF8500GT 256MB PCI Express w/HDTV & DVI" to work in ubuntu ? | 03:44 |
| Byron1 | longrus can you go to #ubuntu-offtopic and I will try to help | 03:44 |
| teimu | Sometimes I install software isn't a package (like you get from apt). How do I make it so that this software gets placed correctly in usr/bin and usr/lib....you know so that it's like it was a package. i just dont like putting all my applications in my home directory | 03:44 |
| yabbo | Jaredu, compiz works in 7.10 much better but its the newest version of compiz still | 03:44 |
| Jaredu | any clue where i'd get a driver for 7.10 then? i have 2 burnt 7.10 cd's already | 03:44 |
| crdlb | Jaredu: gutsy has 0.6.0 and hardy has 0.7.4 | 03:44 |
| Jaredu | hmm.. | 03:44 |
| Jaredu | so is there like a standard nvidia driver for linux in that respect cause im trying to get it off the site.. but there are none for 9800gtx :( | 03:45 |
| yabbo | Jaredu, 7.10 has a restricted drivers database which you can use to get the driver automatically | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | ahh | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | i see | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | would that be hard to setup? :D | 03:45 |
| yabbo | no its a click i want to install this and it does it | 03:45 |
| bbyever | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, and he resumed his original question afterwards | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | ahh i see | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | well | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | i suppose ill be back in like 30 mins then lol | 03:45 |
| Jaredu | time to format | 03:45 |

| tritium | Jaredu: please use teh ubuntu-packaged driver | 03:45 |
| yabbo | hehe | 03:45 |
| harriseldon | teimu it depends on what you are installing and how | 03:46 |
| crdlb | Jaredu: I don't think the driver is new enough in 7.10 | 03:46 |
| minusidea | anyone tell me when i try to "sudo apt-get install n" I get a "Could not open lock file n - open (13 permission denied_ E: Unable to lock the administration directory (n), are you root?" | 03:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Aelita this is the ubuntu support room. Do you have a ubuntu support question? | 03:53 |
| harriseldon | hcid change the preferences for url to use firefox instead of mozilla | 03:53 |

| garrett__ | Anyone have trouble with microphone stutter? playback's fine | 03:53 |

| idefine | does ubutu server install with a firewall? | 03:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 03:54 |
| garrett__ | yabbo: hm. ok. i'll keep puttering with it, then ;) | 03:55 |
| Jaredu | it says none have been installed for this system | 03:55 |
| hcid | ok, thanks for help! | 03:55 |
| yabbo | bobboy, but sure what the issue is unless its something with the wireless driver | 03:55 |
| Jaredu | no option to install new | 03:55 |
| lopex21 | whats the name of the package that installs a whole bunch of codecs | 03:55 |
| harriseldon | minusidea what is your current working directory? Are you in a directory in which you have access? | 03:55 |
| ZalDan282179 | I think there is something wrong under the linux cd player hood, because I downloaded a few cd players for ubuntu, and in all of them I can't listen normally to the CDs | 03:55 |
| yabbo | garrett__, i had to turn on mic boost for it though so you may want to try that | 03:55 |
| lopex21 | im not sure if im ussing the right terminology | 03:55 |
| xx | how can i block ip in terminal so she cant get any respond from server ? | 03:55 |
| theFATMAN | what is the code to install a tarball from a URL? I am trying to get the wacom tablet drivers | 03:55 |
| crdlb | Jaredu: the hardware drivers manager would install 169.12, which is not new enough | 03:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | idefine Usually best to let it take care of itself... in most cases | 03:55 |
| bobboy | yabbo: not sure what driver im using but ubuntu picked it up by default and it all works fine??? btw the service unavailable does not happen in vista with ff2 | 03:55 |
| garrett__ | yabbo: did that, too. i'm just trying to get skype up and running, but the test call comes back all herky-jerky | 03:55 |
| ZalDan282179 | I didn't have this problem when I was running Xubuntu, only now that I am running Ubuntu | 03:55 |
| Jaredu | grrrr | 03:56 |

| yabbo | bobboy, what browser are you using now? and have you tried another one? | 04:05 |
| harriseldon | ZalDan282179 have you checked hdparm settings on the cd drive? Just a shot in the dark. | 04:05 |
| cgentry72 | how do i change my workgroup name? | 04:05 |
| ZalDan282179 | how do I do that? | 04:06 |
| cgentry72 | it's localhost right now | 04:06 |
| jim-Dandy | ZalDan282179: so you didn't change your hardware at all | 04:06 |
| ZalDan282179 | no | 04:06 |
| kwan | is cario-dock a newer and more popular dock than kiba-dock? | 04:06 |
| bobboy | yabbo: i use FF3B5 (default) | 04:06 |
| ZalDan282179 | all I did is install ubuntu | 04:06 |
| yabbo | kwan, i use AWN its like mac osx doc system | 04:07 |
| teimu | cgentry72, hostname BLAH | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kwan I like cairo dock.. but use whatever you like | 04:07 |
| ZalDan282179 | OpenDocument works better than AbiWord did, but I'm having CD trouble. | 04:07 |
| cgentry72 | teimu: that simple huh | 04:07 |
| yabbo | bobboy, not sure maybe try and install FF2 | 04:07 |
| bobboy | yabbo: using wireless net with WPA encryption and mac adress filter.. getting about 75% signal constantly and have restricted extras package installed (codec's, flash etc etc) | 04:07 |
| teimu | cgentry72, welcome to linux =) | 04:07 |
| wers | what app can I use to play .avi files? :) | 04:08 |
| yabbo | wers get vlc | 04:08 |
| astro76 | !hostname | cgentry72 | 04:08 |
| ubottu | cgentry72: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

| harriseldon | ZalDAn282179 did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA?highlight=(hdparm) | 04:08 |
| bobboy | wers: personally i use vlc as ive never liked totem or others | 04:08 |
| wers | thanks | 04:08 |
| ZalDan282179 | thanks for the link. | 04:08 |
| yabbo | wers | sudo apt-get install vlc mplayer | 04:09 |
| k20a | i am gonna trying to use a mobile screen on a computer and was wondering what that app was called to view the screen bigger then it displays | 04:09 |
| UberCanuck | wers: and vlc plugins | 04:09 |
| teimu | cgentry72, yea, do what ubottu said | 04:09 |
| wers | ok | 04:09 |
| bobboy | why mplayer? | 04:09 |
| cgentry72 | ubottu: i want to know how to change the workgroup name though | 04:09 |
| ubottu | cgentry72: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:09 |
| yabbo | why not :p give him a choice | 04:09 |
| d4t4min3r | what does teh unable to gather data icon mean.. im seing that | 04:09 |
| bobboy | true true | 04:09 |
| cgentry72 | teimu: i want to change the workgroup name not the hostname though | 04:10 |
| d4t4min3r | unable to get data | 04:10 |
| astro76 | cgentry72: "workgroup" is something from windows file sharing, are you using samba? | 04:10 |
| d4t4min3r | im doing a update.. is that why? | 04:10 |
| kwan | Jack_Sparrow, yabbo I've been away from ubuntu the past 5-6 months (for strange reasons). Before i left the scene it was kiba-dock and beryl that takes over the desktop scenes. Well... i installed kiba-dock on my laptop lastnight but my instincts are telling me that its not the popular dock of today | 04:10 |
| wers | have you heard that vlc is going qt? well that's offtopic. hehe | 04:10 |
| yabbo | or look at mediabuntu and install that | 04:10 |
| cgentry72 | astro76: yes | 04:10 |
| kwan | took over* | 04:10 |
| astro76 | cgentry72: that would be in the samaba config then | 04:10 |
| bobboy | also wers vlc audio playback didnt work for my fresh after installing.. i had to change the audio source from the default one to alsamixer | 04:10 |
| d4t4min3r | anyone know? | 04:10 |
| bobboy | something like that.. and now it works great :) | 04:11 |
| yabbo | kwan, never used that one i have always used AWN | 04:11 |
| d4t4min3r | cant get data icon? whats this mean | 04:11 |
| cgentry72 | astro76: i can't find the samba config anywhere in the menu | 04:11 |
| harriseldon | d4tmin3r what were you trying to do when you got the error? | 04:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kwan this isnt the place for polls and questions of that sort... see #Ubuntu-offtpoic for discussion and opinions about what people like best. | 04:11 |
| Mago_seiyu | como me voy a ubuntu.es ?? | 04:11 |
| astro76 | cgentry72: it's the file /etc/samba/smb.conf | 04:11 |
| Mago_seiyu | ubuntu-es | 04:11 |
| yabbo | i think awn looks better then cario-dock | 04:11 |
| bobboy | yabbo: the message seems to appear when theres alot of traffic for one site.... | 04:11 |
| d4t4min3r | harriseldon: im in the middle of a update... | 04:11 |
| IdleOne | Mago_seiyu /join #ubuntu-es | 04:11 |
| astro76 | Mago_seiyu: /join #ubuntu-es | 04:11 |
| cgentry72 | astro76: ok thanks | 04:12 |
| d4t4min3r | 172 updates | 04:12 |
| DemonicButthead | Is there a better solution than the non-free flash drivers from adobe? | 04:12 |
| astro76 | cgentry72: there's a line with workgroup = SOMETHING | 04:12 |
| teimu | DemonicButthead, what does better mean? free? | 04:12 |
| Lanlost | hey, isn't ndiswrapper included on the ubuntu cd? | 04:12 |
| mixter | i want a free flash drive | 04:12 |
| harriseldon | teimu my sentiments exactly. you beat me to it. lol | 04:12 |
| mixter | it is | 04:13 |
| DemonicButthead | teimu - better as in works better? seemless? | 04:13 |
| yabbo | kwan http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page its fully customizable | 04:13 |
| yabbo | bobboy, not sure what to tell you about that :( | 04:13 |
| d4t4min3r | harriseldon: any idea? | 04:13 |
| teimu | DemonicButthead, the non-free's are going to be the most comprehensive. | 04:13 |
| bobboy | yabbo: really though lol.. i could understand if the entire net dropped that just be because wireless net sucks but it doesnt.. i can still surf other pages which leads me to think its FF's fault lol | 04:14 |
| DemonicButthead | teimu - but gnash only seems to 'partially' work on some web pages | 04:14 |
| yabbo | bobboy, might be a timeout issue in FF3 | 04:14 |
| blackvd | Did a fresh install of Hardy on a HP dv6000 of my housemates and the wifi chip I guess is broadcom which worked at first after installing the restricted drivers. Now it doesn't seem to either detect the card at all or scan, not sure. Not sure where to start with this so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! | 04:14 |
| teimu | DemonicButthead, yea...so get the non-free's if you want it to work fully | 04:14 |
| harriseldon | D4tmin3r did this occur during command line update or from update manager? | 04:14 |
| mixter | blackvd | 04:14 |
| mixter | same problem | 04:14 |
| mixter | if i figure it out ill let ya know | 04:15 |
| mixter | broadcom 83xx | 04:15 |
| blackvd | cool same here | 04:15 |
| d4t4min3r | harriseldon: its just a icon up where the update icon comes from | 04:15 |
| bobboy | yabbo: happens when i do alot of things fast like youtube or facebook and such.. its weird lol really weird and getting annoying.. cant wait till the devs put the repository up for rc1 to see if it fixes the issue.. | 04:15 |
| teimu | DemonicButthead, you should be able to download the plugin right throught firefox | 04:15 |
| DemonicButthead | teimu - my contention is that the gnash setup didn't work fully.. thats what lead me to thinking the non-free would be better to use | 04:15 |
| d4t4min3r | what is the best buy when buying a wireless card.. best support for ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| mixter | blackdvd which one is it | 04:15 |
| mixter | what model | 04:15 |
| teimu | DemonicButthead, i'd agree with that | 04:15 |
| harriseldon | d4t4min3r did it prevent the update from continuing? | 04:15 |
| d4t4min3r | no | 04:15 |
| blackvd | not sure how do I check? I believe the 43XX | 04:15 |

| kyle_ | d4t4min3r, it doesn't allow you to do group chats though | 04:17 |

| SeaPhor | d4t4min3r, follow the link i sent you, it says no config, works out of the box | 04:21 |
| Arrick | teimu video in general, closing my laptop lid screws up the picture to the point it needs a hard reboot to get it back | 04:21 |
| theFATMAN | DemonicButthead: i have everything wacom from the pckg mngr, but...no good so far | 04:21 |

| afallenhope | Anyone know how to get Desktop Cube? | 04:23 |
| Lanlost | blackvd, I'm assissting mixter right now.. I'll let you know if the method I give him works | 04:23 |
| bobboy | yabbo: it also works for me if i use flipflop | 04:23 |
| yabbo | bobboy, i use a black screen as my screen saver let me change it | 04:23 |
| afallenhope | I have compiz in installed but I don't have the "Desktop Efffect" in the menu | 04:23 |
| bobboy | k | 04:23 |
| mixter | blackdvd | 04:24 |
| mixter | lanlost | 04:24 |
| Lanlost | yo | 04:24 |
| mixter | were all in the same boat | 04:24 |
| teimu | Arrick, hmm. it seems ubuntu thinks your system is a desktop...or something. try installing gnome-power-manager | 04:24 |
| mixter | invit him in | 04:24 |
| bobboy | afallenhope: look for a package called advanced desktop effect settins | 04:24 |
| Lincooled | afallenhope: you should check it in the config menu | 04:24 |
| harriseldon | afallenhope are desktop effects enabled in system-preferences-appearance? | 04:24 |
| blackvd | Lanlost: thanks I'm thinking his wi-fi card might be bad cause under windows he had to constantly reinstall his drivers | 04:24 |
| bobboy | settings* | 04:24 |
| mixter | he has a dv6000 | 04:24 |
| yabbo | bobboy, nope and i turned on flurry | 04:24 |
| mixter | same wifi card | 04:24 |
| bobboy | afallenhope: youll love it | 04:24 |
| Lanlost | blackvd, well your problem isn't really the same.. mixter didn't know how to load the drivers at all | 04:24 |
| mixter | :-p | 04:25 |
| teimu | Arrick, that'd be sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager in the console | 04:25 |
| afallenhope | I don't have Desktop effect ins hte menu | 04:25 |
| Arrick | teimu its installed already | 04:25 |
| Lanlost | so I had him use ndiswrapper and a windows inf with the idea to use that to use the restricted driver after he gets the internet | 04:25 |
| yabbo | bobboy, im on 7.10 not 8.04 :p | 04:25 |
| mixter | im getting real close | 04:25 |
| Lanlost | I hope you aren't having the same problem I had with my broadcom | 04:25 |
| kyle_ | I need an aim client for ubuntu that allows you to do group chats? | 04:25 |
| bobboy | yabbo: im on 8.04 | 04:25 |
| bobboy | yabbo: lol | 04:25 |
| afallenhope | I have desktop effects enabled | 04:25 |
| teimu | Arrick, so what is different after closing the lid? | 04:25 |
| Lanlost | My laptop was a compaq and had a button that would let you turn off and on the wireless. | 04:25 |
| mixter | nice lanlost wise words lol | 04:25 |
| Lincooled | in configcompiz setting manager | 04:26 |
| Lanlost | I installed leopard on to my laptop and it wouldn't work and I eventually found out that Macbooks have the same card EXACTLY | 04:26 |
| Arrick | teimu the screen just scrambles, want to vnc in and see? | 04:26 |
| Arrick | lol | 04:26 |
| mixter | i hope i dont have any problems at all | 04:26 |
| kyle_ | I need an aim client for ubuntu that allows you to do group chats? | 04:26 |
| Lanlost | but it wouldn't even scan or find the card, like you are saying | 04:26 |
| Lincooled | afallenhope: disable desktop wall and check desktop cube | 04:26 |
| mandrig | afallenhope: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:26 |
| teimu | Arrick, uhh, that's ok, for your security's sake... | 04:26 |
| bobboy | afallenhope: Applications --> Add/Remove search advanced should be first package there called Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) | 04:26 |
| Lanlost | the reason was that the light was off.. most of these buttons when you click them just disable the card in the OS.. but it turns out that the button actually disables the card by turning off its power | 04:26 |
| harriseldon | kyle_ is that a question? Are you planning on using group chats? If not, it should not matter. | 04:27 |
| Lanlost | so without power it can't even get detected.. | 04:27 |
| Dew420 | In your opinion : best game pre-packed with ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| yabbo | bobboy, http://www.senjinprophets.com/screenshot.png | 04:27 |
| kyle_ | harriseldon, yes I am planning on using group chats | 04:27 |
| _s_a_t_a_n_ | I tried to boot almost ALL linux live cd's, noone works. They cannot find the root filesystem and bring me to a limited shell. Why can this error happen with absolutely all linux live cd's on my hardware??? | 04:27 |
| === rewrwfafe is now known as paul_cross | ||
| === Scientus__ is now known as scientus | ||
| kyle_ | harriseldon, if I wasn't going to use group chats I would just use meebo. | 04:27 |
| Lanlost | it's just ironic that macbooks use the same card natively and I couldn't get the card to work because of a toggle button | 04:27 |
| teimu | Arrick, had this been happening ever since you installed ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| Lanlost | but make sure the buttons on for you, It might be the same problem | 04:28 |
| Lanlost | the light wouldn't work at all without the restricted driver on for me or with ndiswrapper | 04:28 |
| Arrick | yes teimu | 04:28 |
| lumbuntu | gnight all | 04:28 |

Whenever I return back to linux from my windows vm, everything I open closes immediately after I try to type in something. EG, I open firefox. Bout to type something in the google search, and it closes whenever I hit the first key. It does this with everything, except nautilus.

| yabbo | bobboy, it works great on 7.10 i dont think its tested on 8.04 yet | 04:31 |
| SeaPhor | Lanlost, just a word of newfound info, most w-cards (especially HP machines) need power on before/during the drivers are installed, and before the manager is installed(whatever manager is used), or the manager will not work | 04:31 |
| EneergE | anyone have any idea | 04:31 |
| bobboy | yabbo: worked great if you have an idea of what your doing.. deffinitly not something to try for a first timer lol | 04:31 |

| bobboy | yabbo: i got fed up with it.. you need to have compiz on which i only know how to do from appearence --> visual effects ... from there wasnt sure if you needed normal or extra.. tutorial neglects to mention it.. than the whole delete gnome panel was REALLY REALLY sketchy.. started AWN clicked save process and checked start open processes on startup.. restarted and that didnt work at all | 04:34 |
| SeaPhor | mixter, just a word of newfound info, for future, most w-cards (especially HP machines) need power (to the device) on before/during the drivers are installed, and before the manager is installed(whatever manager is used), or the manager will not work | 04:35 |
| DemonicButthead | theFATMAN.. is your tablet 64 bit capable? | 04:35 |

| SeaPhor | mixter, any chance any of your clan is on HP machines, just checking cause i move to the linux dept next week :-) | 04:37 |
| yabbo | bobboy, NOTE: Beryl or Compiz (Composite managers) is required for AWN. If you do not use those then you can try the Simdock package | 04:37 |
| harriseldon | kyle_ did you try conversation->invite once you are in chat? I do not use chat rooms through AIM so I do not know how it works | 04:38 |
| yabbo | bobboy, which means you need the compiz manager | 04:38 |

| mixter | i cant believe that that network driver worked with ndis | 04:39 |
| harriseldon | gooody what ubuntu version are you using? PulseAudio may do it automatically, otherwise there is usually a headphone jack sense flag in the volume mixer for the device. | 04:39 |

| DemonicButthead | idleone - numlock doesn't do anything in ubuntu on my computer | 04:44 |
| mixter | blackdvd need to extract it on a thumb drive | 04:44 |
| mixter | on a windows machine | 04:44 |
| IdleOne | Turno not everyone wants emarald | 04:44 |
| woli | is there any music player adapted to sandisk players? | 04:44 |
| bazhang | Lanlost, :) | 04:44 |

| harriseldon | Odd-rationale have you looked at the ntpdate command? | 04:45 |
| mixter | seaphor | 04:45 |
| mixter | workin on it | 04:45 |
| Odd-rationale | harriseldon: ok. will look. thanks! | 04:45 |
| james296 | PLZ someone help me out | 04:45 |
| Lanlost | I've got a question, I made my default username my name.. I really want it to be lanlost | 04:45 |
| Lanlost | Is there anyway to create a new user and then get rid of the old? | 04:45 |
| gooody | harriseldon: i have enable the headphone switch but it still don't work. | 04:45 |
| Lanlost | I mean, will that work.. I didn't know if the one I made during install had anything special about it | 04:46 |
| markginter24 | How would I find out the reason my laptop does not suspend/resume in Hardy -- it does in fedora 9, opensuse 11betas and foresight 2 -- but not ubuntu ... | 04:46 |
| Lanlost | I doubt it seeing that theres no root enabled by default | 04:46 |
| astro76 | Lanlost: the only thing special that you'll have to add to the second, is to make it a member of the admin group, to have sudo rights | 04:46 |
| SeaPhor | mixter, i have an issue, can you /join #SeaPhor to work on this? | 04:46 |
| harriseldon | gooody that has worked for me in the past, however hardy uses pulse audio instead of alsa. have you checked forums or wiki or google? | 04:46 |
| mixter | seaphoir | 04:46 |
| mixter | join my chat | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Lanlost: the first one is a member of the 'admin' group. | 04:47 |
| gooody | harriseldon: thanks for the help. i'll try check the forum. | 04:47 |
| harriseldon | markginter24 look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend for help with suspend | 04:47 |
| markginter24 | thank you harriseldon - will do ... | 04:47 |
| illriginal | hey guys, what's the command to stop GDM?... | 04:49 |
| astro76 | illriginal: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 04:49 |
| illriginal | Cool. | 04:49 |
| hoonteke | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 04:49 |
| hoonteke | huh, invoke-rc.d is new. I like it | 04:49 |
| caubekid | he | 04:49 |
| illriginal | ah I used that before. good stuff, astro76 and hoonteke | 04:49 |
| caubekid | hi | 04:50 |
| astro76 | hoonteke: update-rc.d is even handier to know ;) | 04:50 |
| No1CaNTeL | hey guys, I'm trying to setup a dual boot with XP and for some reason when I boot from the xp disc it says taht there is no HDD present :( anyone have an idea? tia | 04:50 |
| illriginal | what exactly is that for, astro76? | 04:50 |
| rpedro | is it just me, or was gnome-system-monitor's cpu usage fixed in hardy? | 04:50 |
| hoonteke | thanks astro76 | 04:50 |
| markginter24 | harriseldon -- through my googling/ubuntuforum-ing I've come across most of those issues. I suspect it has something to do with the ati driver - but it doesn't make sense - since it works fine in foresight 2 | 04:50 |
| hoonteke | 'night all | 04:50 |
| Newbuntu2 | hello | 04:51 |
| astro76 | illriginal: update-rc.d can be used to install and remove the init script links | 04:51 |
| harriseldon | markginter24 are you using the free driver or the ATI binary driver? That may be the difference. | 04:51 |
| AzMoo | astro76: The man page says it's not intended to be used by people. | 04:51 |
| redhat2 | ok i have a question | 04:51 |
| markginter24 | harriseldon -- only the free driver | 04:51 |
| Newbuntu2 | Does anyone know of software to do video conferencing (ie, video chat with more than 2 participants)? | 04:51 |
| markginter24 | but it hangs using either one | 04:51 |
| redhat2 | how in the world do i get my broadcom bcm4328 card working in hardy? | 04:51 |
| markginter24 | redhat2 - did you try the Hardware Drivers option | 04:52 |
| markginter24 | System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers | 04:52 |
| redhat2 | markginter24 where's that? | 04:52 |
| redhat2 | oh ok thanks | 04:52 |
| astro76 | AzMoo: for update-rc.d, yeah true | 04:52 |
| markginter24 | np | 04:52 |
| SilverMx | guys, how install anything in unix systems? (ubuntu of course) | 04:52 |
| mandrig | Newbuntu2: http://www.oovoo.com//download/ if you're willing to use wine as well | 04:52 |
| redhat2 | markginter24 nope not in there...just my nvidia chipset | 04:53 |
| astro76 | AzMoo: because there are easier tools to use | 04:53 |
| Odd-rationale | any suggestion for some good games for a low-end machine? i got fb and wormux... what else? | 04:53 |
| === noob is now known as nooblais | ||
| AzMoo | astro76: yeah, sysv-rc-conf. | 04:53 |
| Rixon- | redhat2: most likely you will have to use fwcutter or ndiswrapper to cut drivers out of the firmware of the broadcom routers, broadcom do not release source of their chipset drivers so you won't find any. | 04:53 |
| markginter24 | redhat2 - what chipset? it's a wireless card, no? | 04:53 |
| redhat2 | anyone care to help me set that up? | 04:53 |
| redhat2 | yeah it's a broadcom laptop wireless card | 04:53 |
| Rixon- | pcmcia? | 04:54 |
| redhat2 | bcm4328 | 04:54 |
| The-Bleh-Bleh | Hello, I have a question for anybody- Is it unheard of for a Cat5 cable to have a break randomly in the middle? | 04:54 |
| illriginal | ekiga?... not sure | 04:54 |
| redhat2 | no, internal | 04:54 |
| Rixon- | hm | 04:54 |
| mandrig | The-Bleh-Bleh: no, its happened to several of mine | 04:54 |
| AzMoo | The-Bleh-Bleh: No, but it does usually imply somebody's run over it with something. | 04:54 |
| Rixon- | i'm still thinking you'll probably have to use fwcutter | 04:54 |
| astro76 | AzMoo: actually from reading the invoke-rc.d description, depending on what you need to accomplish, it isn't appropriate either | 04:54 |
| mandrig | Newbuntu2: did you get my message? | 04:54 |
| mixter | hi rixon | 04:55 |
| The-Bleh-Bleh | AzMoo: The thing is, it's brand new. 35 feet though. | 04:55 |
| mixter | welcome back | 04:55 |
| Rixon- | ty | 04:55 |
| Rixon- | =) | 04:55 |
| markginter24 | redhat2 - sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 04:55 |
| Rasputin | Is this where I ask people simple questions :'D | 04:55 |
| woli | the console says i need to reconfigure dpkg when i sudo apt-get install!?? | 04:56 |
| redhat2 | i dont know why they had to break it on me...it worked fine in feisty | 04:56 |
| markginter24 | redhat2 - when it installs it should ask you to download the firmware - allow it to do that -- and then simply sudo rmmod b43 and then sudo modprobe b43 | 04:56 |
| AzMoo | astro76: One wonders why you wouldn't just run the init script directly. | 04:56 |
| Starnestommy | woli: what exactly does it tell you? | 04:56 |
| AzMoo | astro76: Unless you were using it in a script. | 04:56 |
| Newbuntu2 | mandrig: I'm checking it out. Looks like it's just what I need, thanks! The fact that it's windows is better, the other people don't run linux... :( | 04:56 |
| astro76 | AzMoo: yeah I believe you should run it directly, I won't be recommending invoke-rc.d anymore ;) | 04:56 |
| Newbuntu2 | mandrig: Is this the only one, or are there other alternatives to compare to? | 04:57 |
| Rixon- | markginter24: i'm sure a root shell would be easier than all those sudo commands in a row | 04:57 |
| redhat2 | anyone know the best way to play counterstrike on ubuntu? | 04:57 |
| mandrig | Newbuntu2: I just googled 'free video conferencing' and that was the first link | 04:57 |
| woli | sudo: unable to resolve host <my host name> | 04:57 |
| woli | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run "dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem | 04:57 |
| kappaccino | redhat2: install windows? | 04:57 |
| markginter24 | Rixon - I guess so -- I'm a fast typer so I don't mind... | 04:57 |
| Starnestommy | woli: run sudo dpkg --configure -a | 04:57 |
| redhat2 | hell no kappaccino haha | 04:57 |
| No1CaNTeL | could someone please help me setup a dal boot with XP? for some reason when I boot xp the setup errors saying it cannot detect a HDD. tia :D | 04:57 |
| kappaccino | then tough luck :P | 04:58 |
| Rixon- | redhat2: either steam on wine, or a virtaul machine | 04:58 |
| redhat2 | i guess i'll stick to wine or crossover | 04:58 |
| The-Bleh-Bleh | One more question- With a cat5 cable, does it matter what colors you use where, as long as both sides of the cords match? | 04:58 |
| kappaccino | j/k I'm sure there is a way. I just don't know | 04:58 |
| AzMoo | The-Bleh-Bleh: Nope, doesn't matter, although it's usually good to conform to the standard. | 04:58 |
| keithclark | Can you swith between two different users with one using kde and the other gnome? | 04:59 |
| keithclark | *switch | 04:59 |
| The-Bleh-Bleh | Thanks. | 04:59 |
| Starnestommy | keithclark: yes | 04:59 |
| xorand | how do I start a k desktop environment? | 04:59 |
| Starnestommy | xorand: look in the sessions or options menu at the login screen | 04:59 |
| keithclark | Starnestommy: just using the standard "switch user" option? | 04:59 |
| woli | Starnestommy, it says sudo: unable to resolve host ahain | 04:59 |
| woli | again* | 04:59 |
| xorand | Starnestommy, thank you | 04:59 |
| Starnestommy | keithclark: yes | 04:59 |
| kappaccino | Rixon-: I'm interested in this virtual machine, PM ? | 05:00 |
| Starnestommy | woli: did you recently try to change your computer's name? | 05:00 |
| Rixon- | ? | 05:00 |
| Rixon- | ok. | 05:00 |
| Rixon- | kappaccino: i cant pm, non-reg'd nick | 05:00 |
| woli | no.... | 05:00 |
| kappaccino | doh | 05:00 |
| woli | i just tried to install an app and entered my password wrong... | 05:01 |
| Starnestommy | Rixon-: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration shows how to register | 05:01 |
| Rixon- | lol i know how to | 05:01 |
| Rixon- | i just cant be bothered | 05:01 |
| markginter24 | so ... anyone an expert on suspend issues with laptops? | 05:01 |
| kappaccino | anywhoo, so it's just an emulated windows right? (if I was using linux) | 05:01 |
| Rixon- | what did you want to know anyway? | 05:01 |
| Rixon- | yeah it's like running a non-existant computer, in a window, you can instal anything on it, BSD/linux/unix/mac/windows/whatever | 05:02 |
| markginter24 | redhat2 any luck with the b43? | 05:02 |
| Rixon- | you save a file as a disk image, that becomes your virtual hard drive | 05:02 |
| kappaccino | and you can install windows programs within the virtual machine? save settings etc? | 05:02 |
| redhat2 | markginter24 waiting for this updating to finish before i can do it | 05:02 |
| Rixon- | yeah | 05:02 |
| redhat2 | care to PM me? | 05:02 |
| redhat2 | so it's easier to talk | 05:02 |
| markginter24 | redhat2 - non-registered nick -- sorry... | 05:03 |
| Rixon- | lookup virtualbox/vmware/JVM | 05:03 |
| redhat2 | ah ok | 05:03 |
| provolik | Hi | 05:03 |
| kappaccino | for example, if I had this windows only insurance application (assume wine didn't work), I could run a vm of windows, install that and use it? | 05:03 |
| DemonicButthead | how do you use the 'cube' feature in compiz? | 05:03 |
| zChris_ | kappaccino yes | 05:03 |
| Rixon- | yes | 05:03 |
| francisco1 | hola | 05:03 |
| Rixon- | DemonicButthead: it's a plugin | 05:03 |
| Rixon- | you need the compizconfig manager | 05:04 |
| No1CaNTeL | ne1?? :( | 05:04 |
| mandrig | !es | 05:04 |
| ubottu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 05:04 |
| kappaccino | I hear virtual machines need the RAM, will 1gb be enough? | 05:04 |
| DemonicButthead | right.. i have the compiz config manager installed.. i don't know what the keyboard command is for it | 05:04 |
| Rixon- | kappaccino: i doubt xp needs a gig | 05:04 |
| DemonicButthead | is there a guide to compiz keyboard commands? | 05:04 |
| Rixon- | kappaccino: afaik xp will run on 256mb | 05:04 |
| kappaccino | this will probably be win2003 server | 05:04 |
| woli | whats the command for the force quit thing? | 05:04 |
| mixter | hello all | 05:04 |
| kappaccino | but that's xp anyway :P | 05:04 |
| EneergE | I've run vmware workstation on a laptop with 512mb of ram.. It crawls, but it runs | 05:04 |
| kappaccino | I think.... | 05:04 |
| mixter | anyone help me install drivers for gfx card | 05:04 |
| mandrig | DemonicButthead: If you look through the compiz manager, then it will show the keyboard commands | 05:04 |
| zChris_ | Rixon-: but uou would need abit more when using it in a VM | 05:04 |
| DemonicButthead | thanks mandrig.. i will look closer | 05:05 |
| Rixon- | DemonicButthead: the config is a program, it will be in system>preferences>advanced desktop settings | 05:05 |
| keithclark | What is the synaptic command to install kde 4? | 05:05 |

| provolik | How can I simulate the 'enter' signal in a cron way? | 05:05 |
| DemonicButthead | thanks Rixon :) | 05:05 |
| astro76 | keithclark: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 05:05 |
| zChris_ | DemonicButthead: i believe you need to isntall compiz-settings-manager if you havent already | 05:05 |
| Rixon- | zChris_: i dont think the guest os would requier more ram, if anything your host os will be using more, for the emulation | 05:06 |
| keithclark | astro76: thanks. Do gnome and kde4 co-exist in a friendly way? | 05:06 |
| Rixon- | zChris_: i allready told him that, he has compizconfig | 05:06 |
| mandrig | DemonicButthead: for example, keycomman for starting the desktop cube is <ctrl> <alt> <down> | 05:06 |
| DemonicButthead | zChris.. i have it installed, however.. what is the reference to 'super' key? i don't know where the heck thats supposed to be :P | 05:06 |
| mandrig | DemonicButthead: the super key is the 'windows' key | 05:06 |
| Rixon- | DemonicButthead: superkey is the windows key | 05:06 |
| astro76 | keithclark: sure | 05:06 |
| zChris_ | Rixon-: thats what i mean, since you are using a vm you would need more ram to run an os in it. | 05:06 |
| provolik | kappacino, I run XP on a vmware with 1gb of ram and it works very well. It runs perfectly a fastcad application. | 05:07 |
| woli | whats the command for the forcequit pannel app? | 05:07 |
| Rixon- | yes but we were talking about how much ram xp required, not your host os | 05:07 |
| astro76 | woli: xkill | 05:07 |
| woli | thanks! | 05:07 |
| Rasputin | When I boot the Ubuntu installer disk I get a message saying "Error reading boot disk." Why is that? | 05:07 |

| woli | yeah, sure | 05:09 |
| woli | i don't know what pid is that, but maybe it will turn off my pc or something | 05:09 |
| provolik | astro76, a internet browser or a console | 05:09 |

| astro76 | Rasputin: it works fine... did you try the verify installation media, or whatever it's called, option when you boot the cd? | 05:11 |
| Varak | provolik: no, but to emulate a click or whatever you can use wget | 05:11 |
| Varak | and then put that on cron | 05:12 |
| Rixon- | Varak: that script wont 'press enter', it will just echoa newline in a terminal. | 05:12 |

| ReAn | how hard is it to set up that *nix -> AD link that is featured... what's it called now >_> | 05:21 |
| zChris_ | No1CaNTeL: what was your q ? | 05:21 |
| mixter | guys new here what packages do you guys use on a daily basis | 05:21 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: Your problem is a windows problem. You should ask in ##windows | 05:21 |
| No1CaNTeL | how is it windows? | 05:21 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: Because your windows disc won't boot? | 05:22 |
| No1CaNTeL | I am running ubuntu and I want to setup a dual boot with windows? | 05:22 |
| Starnestommy | No1CaNTeL: it's because XP isn't detecting the hard disk | 05:22 |
| No1CaNTeL | any ideas why that would happen? | 05:22 |
| mixter | you need sata driveres | 05:22 |
| No1CaNTeL | this was originally an xp system | 05:22 |
| mixter | then use your original xp disc | 05:22 |
| mixter | and you wotn have a problem | 05:22 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: XP is ancient, they don't know about SATA drives. You need to provide a floppy with drivers on it. They can help you in ##windows | 05:23 |
| mixter | otherwise you need to slipstream your sata drivers win nlite | 05:23 |
| jc___ | my print server has stopped working, I can connect to http://localhost:631/ but not to 192.168.1.60:631 which is my IP. no one on my home network can print now any ideas what the problem is? | 05:23 |
| ferfactor_ | i installed another OS bit i want to format it i hope that you people can help me please http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazomu4.png | 05:24 |
| ferfactor_ | is the part /dev/sda6 | 05:24 |
| No1CaNTeL | Were the drivers erased when I installed Ubuntu then? This system was originally XP, it was re formatted a few times with xp without this problem, it is only after I installed buntu that I have run into this issue, which is why I would think this is related to ubuntu more then windows? | 05:25 |
| Starnestommy | ferfactor_: it looks like it has /dev/sda1 set as the main partition | 05:25 |
| mrgibson | join #mysql | 05:25 |
| mrgibson | oups | 05:25 |
| ferfactor_ | Starnestommy: yes is the main part... | 05:25 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: Existing operating systems have no part in the installation of new ones | 05:26 |
| ferfactor_ | when my computer starts appear me a screen. there i choose the os that i want... | 05:26 |
| ringer | how can i make videos run smoother in either firefox or opera | 05:26 |
| mixter | Starnestommy can you explaint o me how to install compiz | 05:26 |
| astro76 | ferfactor_: you only need one swap partition btw, it can be shared between different linux installs | 05:26 |
| No1CaNTeL | so then why would this be a windows issue if it started to happen after installing ubuntu? | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | mixter: I don't remember how, sorry | 05:26 |
| hsystemx | ringer: better processor... | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | No1CaNTeL: because Windows is the OS that's having the problem, not Ubuntu | 05:26 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: Because you're installing windows, and the fact that you have Ubuntu on your drive doesn't come into play at all. | 05:26 |
| ferfactor_ | astro how i swap... | 05:27 |
| ferfactor_ | right click?? | 05:27 |
| swansk | I have a small issue. HELP! I can type KOREAN in open office but it prints squares on my HP Deskjet 5740 | 05:27 |
| ringer | mixter: open your synaptics package manager and search for compiz manager | 05:27 |
| No1CaNTeL | could something like this happen if my partitions are not setup correctly? | 05:27 |
| ringer | hsystemx: lol thats it? there are no tricks? | 05:27 |
| Flannel | No1CaNTeL: no, the CD is independant of anything on the harddrive | 05:27 |
| Flannel | swansk: You may have more luck in #ubuntu-ko | 05:27 |
| hsystemx | ringer, dont take that serious.. *joke,. | 05:27 |
| swansk | thanks Flannel | 05:28 |
| hsystemx | try to slow graphic effects. | 05:28 |
| Starnestommy | ferfactor_: you would need to add an entry for each OS in /boot/grub/menu.lst, then select the OS at the boot prompt after pressing ESC | 05:28 |
| hsystemx | blur... etc... | 05:28 |
| swansk | I never had this problem with Ubuntu before | 05:28 |
| swansk | Recent thing | 05:28 |
| swansk | Recent as in 8.04 | 05:28 |
| ringer | hsystemx: well im sure it wouldnt hurt anything (but my wallet) to get a better one, but it just seems that videos run choppy in both firefox and opera | 05:28 |

| ferfactor_ | Starnestommy: i want Ubuntu the only one, i want format the other O.S | 05:29 |
| No1CaNTeL | kk, I will check in at ##windows then, ty, but it just seems odd that this starts to happen only after installing ubuntu though. :P | 05:29 |
| hsystemx | ringer, do you have graphic effects enable? | 05:29 |
| ringer | hsystemx: in compiz you mean? then yes. | 05:29 |
| hsystemx | ringer, turn off desktop effects, or compiz ... or do metacity --replace ... | 05:30 |
| hsystemx | and then try to see those videos... | 05:30 |
| montpelie | how about 3d rendering ringer, would that have something to do with the video playback issue???? | 05:30 |
| === Lanlost_ is now known as Lanlost | ||
| keithclark | astro76: I worked just fine, thank you. | 05:30 |
| ringer | hsystemx: i dont do any 3d rendering, and is there a quick way to just turn off compiz while im watching videos, and switch it back on when im done? | 05:30 |
| keithclark | astro76: in PCLinuxOS it did not work at all. | 05:31 |
| montpelie | ringer "metacity --replace" | 05:31 |
| jc___ | nevermind I found the problem | 05:31 |
| hsystemx | um , metacity --replace and then compiz --replace ? | 05:31 |
| ringer | hsystemx: also, i would like to keep my emerald theme, so i really dont want to do metacity replace lol...im being way to picky | 05:31 |
| ringer | hsystemx: in the command in window decorations? | 05:31 |

| ringer | hsystemx im scared. | 05:32 |
| montpelie | takes you back to your non-fancy desktop ringer | 05:32 |
| astro76 | provolik: explain | 05:32 |
| hsystemx | then to turn on compiz, do compiz --replace | 05:33 |
| hsystemx | and if you want emerald on, then do emerald --replace | 05:33 |
| ringer | hsystemx okay, how do i get back to my fancy one after that? | 05:33 |

| MeRodent | !enter | 05:34 |
| hsystemx | ringer, montpelie ... is right, in that order. | 05:34 |
| crdlb | montpelie: && means that the second part will not execute until compiz exits | 05:34 |
| crdlb | so that will not work | 05:34 |
| hsystemx | compiz --replace and then emerald --replace. | 05:34 |
| astro76 | provolik: did you chmod +x the script? | 05:34 |

| provolik | astro76, I watch... | 05:34 |
| montpelie | kk, got it, and what if I try by using just one & symbol, what would happen crdlb (I know bash basics) | 05:35 |
| swansk | I just installed "sharing" and I am "allowed" to share in my Permissions, why does it through an error when I try to share a file saying I don't have permission to do what I have permission to do? | 05:36 |
| astro76 | provolik: sorry I don't understand any of your English :( | 05:36 |
| provolik | astro76, because I am italian and english is not my friend :) | 05:36 |
| hsystemx | if you just want to kill compiz and all those process, do: ps -ef|grep YOURUSER ... then do: KILL PIDNUMBER | 05:36 |
| crdlb | montpelie: they'd both run that way, although as I said, it's not necessary | 05:37 |
| provolik | astro76, however sh links dash that is 755 | 05:37 |
| crdlb | why would you killl compiz? | 05:37 |
| montpelie | gotcha, thanx crdlb | 05:37 |

| james296 | I dont mean the source file | 05:37 |

| provolik | ok | 05:37 |
| james296 | I mean how to get it installed like version 2.4 | 05:37 |
| crdlb | hsystemx: having no window manager isn't fun | 05:37 |
| hsystemx | well ... metacity --replace... | 05:38 |
| crdlb | exactly, there's never a reason to use kill for that | 05:38 |
| ringer | hsystemx: i get an error now when resuming compiz. "GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly." | 05:38 |

| rayne_ | kk | 05:45 |
| rayne_ | souler: have you run update manger? | 05:45 |
| Souler | does it have to do with somethign that I mived the install file to another directorr? | 05:45 |

| Souler | I didnt get anyy of those.... it just doesnt find it. | 05:51 |
| geck1 | astro76 thanks | 05:51 |

| rayne_ | Souler: http://ubuntuforums.org | 05:52 |
| astro76 | geck1: actually the before you proceed section, plus example 2, the imwheelrc section you can also add to switch tabs | 05:52 |
| Souler | yes I did, no uck finding anything. I live in norway, and the modem have just come out. Not many people use it.... >_> | 05:52 |
| rayne_ | Souler: if you search for your modem, you will probably find someone that has had the same issue... hopefully resolved | 05:52 |
| Souler | luck* | 05:52 |
| rayne_ | ahhh.... | 05:53 |
| rayne_ | Souler: I don't know what I can do to help you from here, but getting the internet in Ubuntu is a must | 05:53 |

| Souler | Broadcom Wireless. | 05:54 |
| astro76 | eisenhower: no prob, it does look good, I know gpg pretty well but am planning on reading that to see if I missed something ;) | 05:54 |
| rayne_ | Souler: okay, Wireless is another one of those restricted drivers | 05:54 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a channel for blackbox window manager | 05:54 |
| Souler | any ide where I could download em? | 05:54 |
| rayne_ | Souler: if you had internet... it would show up in the same place with the NVIDIA drivers and you could download the files you need for it to work | 05:54 |
| Ahadiel | Mr_Bad_News, #blackbox? | 05:55 |
| rayne_ | Souler: You would have to search for the wireless card you have (exact one) and find a package to install for it | 05:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | its pretty much empty Ahadiel | 05:55 |
| Souler | okay... thx for help. | 05:55 |
| Nick__ | s'up | 05:55 |
| rayne_ | Souler: A wee bit more complicated and time consuming, but it works. I had to do the same thing with mine to get wireless... to get the NVIDIA drivers... to get happy | 05:56 |
| rayne_ | Souler: np, wish i could have helped more | 05:56 |
| Nick__ | What's better: Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec player or Gnash SWF Player? | 05:56 |
| Souler | I see o.o | 05:56 |
| astro76 | Nick__: only adobe is going to work with everything | 05:56 |
| Nick__ | Ok | 05:56 |
| Nick__ | Thanks :-) | 05:56 |

| mkitzma1 | it seems to do the desktop effects just fine, but playing any 3d games kills my x server | 06:02 |
| ak47 | I need help getting back the default setting for ubutnu | 06:03 |
| mkitzma1 | montpelie: I will have to enable the xserver-xgl | 06:03 |
| ak47 | i did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop gobuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop | 06:03 |

| ak47 | I need help getting back the default setting for ubutnu | 06:05 |
| montpelie | shuut ak47, you dowloaded a lot of stuff | 06:05 |
| Flannel | ak47: You really outdid yourself. | 06:05 |
| ak47 | How i fix it or | 06:06 |
| ak47 | go back to default | 06:06 |
| Flannel | ak47: Easiest way is reinstalling. If we don't want to do that, there's an easy way to remove KDE and XFCE: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 06:06 |
| montpelie | you mean, how can you get back to gnome desktop then right???????' | 06:06 |
| montpelie | ak47 | 06:07 |
| ak47 | montpelie ya? | 06:07 |
| montpelie | at the logon screen, there is an option that lets you choose which kind of session you want to start the computer up with | 06:07 |
| JebJoya2 | anyone know if the new ubuntu installer asks you to confirm what other OSes you have installed? I didn't notice it come up on mine, and then i got these GRUB errors... | 06:08 |
| cvd-pr | sup | 06:08 |
| ak47 | montpelie i did but can't go back to the default looking ubuntu 8.04 | 06:08 |
| montpelie | lol, then I dont know, let me check | 06:08 |
| JebJoya2 | maybe i should just try to install again? | 06:09 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | hey everyone. i'm trying to resize (shrink) an ext3 partition using parted but it tells me that an incompatible feature is enabled. dumpe2fs list these features enabled: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype sparse_super large_file. anyone know how to go about this? | 06:09 |
| mkitzma1 | hello everyone again | 06:10 |
| ynyus77 | I am looking for some one who could help me with mysql | 06:10 |
| Kalamansi | hello how to install all the packages of the ubuntu server 8.04? i tried to press X still not checking the list of all the packages e.g lambserver/openssh and so on...i tried cntrl+x too but still not checking the packages..im in installing portion..thanks | 06:10 |
| ynyus77 | can anybody help me with mysql set up | 06:10 |
| mkitzma1 | After installing xserver-xgl and running glxinfo | grep direct, I get this | 06:10 |
| mkitzma1 | direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 06:11 |
| mkitzma1 | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect | 06:11 |
| ynyus77 | hello everyone | 06:11 |
| mkitzma1 | ynyus77: what kind of help did you need? | 06:11 |
| crdlb | mkitzma1: right, that's normal | 06:11 |
| ynyus77 | I am unable to create database | 06:11 |
| ynyus77 | and | 06:11 |
| mkitzma1 | crdlb: shouldn't it be saying Yes? | 06:11 |
| sacamano | if i use Wubi to install ubuntu same partition as windows and windows dies or gets corrrupted does ubuntu die too? | 06:11 |
| crdlb | mkitzma1: upgrade to hardy, then you won't need Xgl | 06:12 |
| crdlb | mkitzma1: no, you're using Xgl | 06:12 |
| ynyus77 | also unable to create password for any of the existing users | 06:12 |
| ynyus77 | including root | 06:12 |
| mkitzma1 | I have, and I experience lock ups when using fglrx | 06:12 |
| Flannel | sacamano: It depends. It could, yes, it depends on what goes wrong | 06:12 |
| montpelie | that's the reason why X crashes then, I run into the same problem once, and the way I could get it fixed was by uninstalling ati driver (that actually sucks), and it just worked | 06:12 |
| mkitzma1 | so then use the ati driver? | 06:13 |
| mkitzma1 | ynyus77: how did you install mysql? | 06:13 |
| montpelie | I'd say NO | 06:13 |
| montpelie | as a matter of fact I was using CENTOS by that time, had Feisty on a different partition though | 06:14 |
| ynyus77 | mkitzma1 - ubuntu installed by itself | 06:14 |
| ynyus77 | I just checked the command mysql -u root | 06:14 |
| ynyus77 | it failed | 06:14 |
| mkitzma1 | ok, did you install the mysql-server? | 06:14 |
| ynyus77 | but mysql -root@localhost worked | 06:14 |
| ynyus77 | looks like it got installed | 06:15 |
| ynyus77 | and I could succesffully start mysqld | 06:15 |
| Flannel | ynyus77: put sudo in front of that. | 06:15 |
| ynyus77 | actually I tried that aslo | 06:15 |
| cypha | can i see a log of all the terminal inputs i've done? | 06:15 |
| mkitzma1 | very interesting | 06:15 |
| montpelie | cypha "history" | 06:15 |
| james296 | can anyone PLZ tell me how to get Nexuiz 2.4.2? | 06:15 |
| mkitzma1 | you said that root@localhost works? | 06:15 |
| ynyus77 | yes | 06:16 |
| cypha | damn thas awesome | 06:16 |
| ynyus77 | but with that I am unable to create database which is needed for mythtv | 06:16 |
| cypha | thanks montpelie | 06:16 |

| mkitzma1 | what about mysql -u root -h localhost -p? | 06:16 |

| coliny | everyone: look, this is getting very fast pace. maybe too fast pace for me. | 07:33 |
| cypha | that way i can learn to manipulate config files manually, without the need for someone to have made a GUI | 07:34 |
| theFATMAN | magnetron, thanks, dude, i'll check it out, peace | 07:34 |
| magnetron | cypha: you probably want to use cogito or similar to wrap around git | 07:34 |
| y | coliny: You've not even BEGUN to experience fast paced buddy. | 07:34 |
| cruddpuppet | How do I begin the glade editor from the command line ? | 07:34 |
| cypha | magnetron, can you tell me how? | 07:34 |

| cypha | git init . | 07:35 |

| cypha | magnetron, is this a good way to learn what are the important config files and how to manually edit them? | 07:36 |

| y | coliny: No, I am not a bot. | 07:36 |

| basvg | hi all... it seems that our ffmpeg doesn't come configured with mp3 codecs (when trying to transcode an mpeg movie to flv and forcing it to use mp3 streams, it claims that the codec is unsupported). Any clue how to fix that? | 07:43 |
| coliny | That's the one with Lightscribe. That does not work with liber software; there is a proprietary Linux software for this - is it from Nero? | 07:43 |
| y | Cynewave: What kind of network are you running? (besides wireless) | 07:44 |
| coliny | Actually, I don't need Lightscribe. | 07:44 |
| JebJoya2 | right, bit of an odd one: got a LG 20" LCD monitor attached to the DVI port of my GeForce 8600GTS graphics card, and have installed the ubuntu restricted driver for the gfx card. However, when I set resolution to 1650*1080 (max of the monitor), it appears only in the middle of the screen (basically borders on the left and right to change from 16:10 to 4:3, then borders at the top and bottom to change 4:3 to 16:10). Any fixes? | 07:44 |
| coliny | y: Sorry to hold you to the stuff. Sorry. | 07:44 |
| y | coliny: I was speaking from personal opinion. My bad. I use lightscribe and dual layers. =P | 07:44 |

| RoadHazard | only prop driver is that ati 8.42 thing | 07:53 |
| RoadHazard | that I have | 07:53 |
| savvaslivecd | markers: it should mention an error or something. did you try to enable it through system -> preferences -> appearance ? | 07:53 |
| soreau | Mr: You chose to download the linux drivers? | 07:54 |
| y | Soreau: Yes he did | 07:54 |
| RoadHazard | oh well its not a production system, if it fries, it dies, no biggie | 07:54 |
| Mr | I downloaded both. The Linux and windows. | 07:54 |
| proqesi | what command can I run to get info on my DVD drive? | 07:54 |
| Mr | just to make sure I had both of them in case I needed them. | 07:54 |
| soreau | Mr: So what is the name of the other driver? | 07:54 |
| JebJoya2 | should xorg.conf have some actual identifying data about my monitor and graphics card? because it doesn't... | 07:54 |
| markers | savvaslivecd: sorry im pretty new to ubuntu. how would i enable it through there? | 07:55 |

| Mr | Name? | 07:55 |
| cr4ftyb0n35 | hello. I am trying to get my touch screen working. It is connected on /dev/ttyS3, but I am unable to receive any output from it. Upon some investigation I found that there is an IRQ conflict on that port with parport. they both use irq 6. I am wondering how I can resolve this. can anyone help? | 07:55 |
| Mr | Well In the Windows Folder I have that .INF file. Then In the linux folder I have a bunch of files. | 07:56 |
| soreau | Mr: filename. You said you downloaded both, and they're on you're desktop right? On is NET8180.INF, what is the other? | 07:56 |
| proqesi | JebJoya2: other than the name "nvidia", etc, not really | 07:56 |
| soreau | ah | 07:56 |
| soreau | Mr: What is the link from where you downloaded these drivers? | 07:56 |
| genii | proqesi: You might want something like: sudo lspci -vv | ~/Desktop/systeminfo.txt then use a text editor to open that file on your desktop | 07:56 |
| JebJoya2 | proqesi: mine really has _nothing_ just stuff like 'Monitor"Configured Monitor"' & 'Device"Configured Video Device"' | 07:57 |

| Bodsda | markers, on the top panel go to System--> Preferences-->click on 'Appearance' a new window will pop up, go to the tab called 'visual effects' and select the 'Extra' option | 07:58 |
| Mr | hold on let me go get the link | 07:58 |
| Flannel | cr4ftyb0n35: check jumpers on the card, and/or the BIOS to change the IRQ settings. If not that, setserial and stuff is used. | 07:58 |

| tcpdumpgod | Well, dependant on if you've screwed any other files up we'll see. | 08:31 |
| tcpdumpgod | If not, we'll fix it. | 08:31 |
| tcpdumpgod | :) | 08:31 |
| Bodsda | ah the joys of linux ;~) | 08:31 |
| psypher246 | cool lemme reboot | 08:31 |
| tcpdumpgod | Bodsda, I LOVE Linux. | 08:31 |
| tcpdumpgod | Okay psypher246 | 08:31 |
| tcpdumpgod | Once you have a good understanding of it... EVERYTHING is fixable. | 08:31 |
| Bodsda | tcpdumpgod, you and me both but sometimes its like -- ggrrr!! | 08:32 |
| nikoboy | cr4ftynon35 is there any guide? | 08:32 |
| psypher246 | thats what i lovew bout linux, everything is fixable, the default windows response usually is, re-install | 08:32 |
| tcpdumpgod | Yeah, i haven't felt that in a while thought Bodsda... not since trying to bind a LDAP server to a Windows 2003 DC using Kerebos authentication. | 08:32 |
| nikoboy | to do it | 08:32 |
| nikoboy | since i want to install ubuntu on my ps3 and its not accept the disk:S | 08:33 |

| CedSha | Hi all.... | 08:34 |
| CedSha | I have strange behavior on my new installed Ubuntu | 08:34 |
| stou | hey... can someone tell me what libwfb does? | 08:35 |
| geremy | anybody having any luck with gnome-voice-control? | 08:35 |
| CedSha | I have still *crosoft+firefox could open this site http://detail.cn.china.cn | 08:35 |
| AutoMatriX | geremy, I had bad luck | 08:35 |
| CedSha | but impossible to open from any of my new ubuntu installation + firefox | 08:35 |
| CedSha | site like google no problem | 08:36 |
| geremy | automatrix: did you even get it to work? i can't even add it the menu bar | 08:36 |
| AutoMatriX | geremy, no, I did not have patience enough to get it working | 08:36 |
| geremy | automatrix: yeah, that's my experience as well right now | 08:37 |
| chmac | When I click a link in an application, firefox comes to the foreground. Previously, on Fedora 8 / Firefox 2, Firefox would load the link, but my current app would remain "active". Can I replicate that in Ubuntu 8.04? | 08:37 |
| DracoZA | CedSha, works fine for me | 08:37 |
| geremy | automatrix: anything comperable that you're aware of? | 08:37 |
| cypha | can i start things on specific workspaces when the computer starts? | 08:37 |
| tcpdumpgod | wb psypher246 | 08:37 |
| psypher246 | tcpdumpgod: k it's not saved | 08:37 |
| AutoMatriX | geremy, absolutely not, sadly | 08:37 |
| CedSha | I see.... Where could I try to search for ? | 08:37 |
| geremy | automatrix: urg | 08:37 |
| tcpdumpgod | Okay psypher246 you just overwrote a bash config file. | 08:37 |
| tcpdumpgod | Let me see where the path lies. | 08:37 |
| tcpdumpgod | Actually psypher246 i think you have a script running on startup thats wiping out your path. | 08:38 |
| psypher246 | /home/psypher/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games | 08:38 |
| geremy | automatrix: i wonder whether I could pull the source for the thing on the eee | 08:38 |
| DracoZA | CedSha, is there flash on that page ? | 08:38 |
| psypher246 | mmk | 08:38 |
| tcpdumpgod | psypher246, thats what "echo $PATH" output? | 08:38 |
| psypher246 | /home/psypher/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games | 08:38 |
| psypher246 | as reg user | 08:38 |
| AutoMatriX | geremy, I wanted to use it to control my webcam in the car by shouting 4Flash', but it costed me too much nerves to get it done | 08:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | psypher246, where did you add /home/psypher/bin ? | 08:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | To what file did you add that to. | 08:39 |
| CedSha | DracoZA no I dont think so | 08:39 |
| tcpdumpgod | ah psypher246 you need to edit /etc/profile | 08:40 |
| psypher246 | i'm lookiong quick | 08:40 |
| james_027 | hi all, which could be a nice itunes counterpart for ubuntu? | 08:40 |
| psypher246 | i didn't add it manually, sum script i installed a long time ago did it | 08:40 |
| cypha | can i start ubuntu with mozilla opened in workspace 2? | 08:40 |
| tcpdumpgod | psypher246, do this... : "grep -i path /etc/profile" | 08:40 |
| CedSha | I try to install epyphanie to check if the problem not belongs to the new firefox | 08:41 |
| psypher246 | an d it's in ~/.profile | 08:41 |
| CedSha | but same problem | 08:41 |
| AutoMatriX | geremy, good luck, dear | 08:41 |
| tcpdumpgod | psypher246, your /etc/profile should look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/13617/plain/ | 08:41 |
| tcpdumpgod | oh its in ~/.profile ? | 08:42 |
| chmac | Can anyone give me any pointers on what to search for? I'd like my current app to remain "current" when I click a firefox link, but firefox to load the link in the background. | 08:42 |
| psypher246 | tcpdumpgod: yeah | 08:42 |
| chmac | I'm not sure what these things are actually called, "current" is a kinda generic term! | 08:42 |
| tcpdumpgod | ok let me paste my default... change it to that and you should be good. | 08:42 |
| tcpdumpgod | psypher246, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13618/plain/ | 08:43 |

| y | Bazhang, actually, I've been here awhile answering, contributing, and asking. | 08:49 |
| babolat | microwaver: I think you can do that via Customize of an installed theme | 08:49 |
| y | babolat: Oh, thanks. I thought it stood for something. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | wonderful y; want me to google the answer for you? | 08:49 |

| microwaver | babolat, when I want to customize, the color function is disabled, where in the Theme files can I adept this. | 08:52 |
| RoadHazard | you mean...its not gonna be like the last 3 times? | 08:52 |
| nomego | babolat: I go into preferences of the bluetooth icon ni the gnome panel, I go to the "Services" tab, I try to check "Network Service" | 08:52 |

| nomego | babolat: But with the regular user I get "permission denied | 08:53 |

| Slart | mandrig: I don't think you can make it a part of your desktop... but you can make it pretend it is | 09:03 |
| Dew420`irie | xaphoo, you can install a nvidia manager thing to set certaint hings | 09:04 |
| mandrig | Slart: thats moreso what i meant, but I think I've found something to help :) | 09:04 |

| Duranix | Ventrilo | 09:06 |
| bazhang | Nightruki, there is a channel #ubuntu-ps3 you know | 09:06 |
| pr0nGuy | Slart: So how do I mount that and unmount it? | 09:06 |
| Nightruki | ohh thx bazhang sry | 09:06 |
| Slart | pr0nGuy: then you should be able to type "sudo umount /media/YP-U2J" in a terminal... remember.. the terminal is case sensitive | 09:06 |
| Slart | atul_: check the syslog and dmesg for error message.. see if a module isn't being loaded or something similar.. find out what chipset your laptop is using for sound.. then ask again here.. and provide these details | 09:07 |
| atul_ | Slart, Ok | 09:08 |
| xaphoo | Dew420`irie: there is nvidia-settings but it doesn't seem to affect anti-aliasing | 09:08 |
| Slart | atul_: lspci and lshw might be useful when it comes to finding out what's inside of your computer | 09:08 |
| xaphoo | babolat: restarting compiz and metacity doesn't affect anything at all | 09:08 |
| Dew420`irie | xaphoo : Nvidia x server settings? | 09:08 |
| mandrig | Slart: where is the conky config file located? | 09:08 |
| Dew420`irie | mandrig : go to your home folder | 09:08 |
| Slart | mandrig: in your home folder.. ~/.conkyrc | 09:09 |
| atul_ | Slart, thanks I will try and let you informed | 09:09 |
| babolat | xaphoo: i gave you the commands only because you asked for them. what exactly are you trying to do? :) | 09:09 |
| Dew420`irie | mandrig : ctrl + h to show hidden files | 09:09 |
| recoy | Does anyone know if DC++ is good? | 09:09 |
| Dew420`irie | recoy : I used to use it about 4-5 years ago and it was | 09:09 |
| Dew420`irie | Not sure about these days | 09:09 |
| pr0nGuy | Slart: is there a way to get a popup every time that says "Safe to remove hardware"? | 09:09 |
| xaphoo | babolat: no, I didn't ask for them, you must have me confused with someone else. I asked about how to enable anti-aliasing in my nvidia and compiz setup.... which have not woked since I installed hardy | 09:09 |
| recoy | Dew420`irie: is it just like any other p2p much as amule? | 09:09 |
| mandrig | Slart: Dew420`irie, .conkyrc isn't in my home folder | 09:09 |
| Slart | pr0nGuy: my computers seems to do that by default.. I don't know if there's a setting for it | 09:10 |
| xaphoo | Dew410`irie: nvidia-settings controls nvidia x server settings, but for some reason its anti-aliasing slider doesn't do antyhing at all | 09:10 |
| Slart | mandrig: perhaps it's created the first time conky is run? | 09:10 |
| Slart | mandrig: there might be a sample config in /etc too | 09:10 |
| babolat | pr0nGuy: you don't need a prompt. when the icon on the desktop is gone, or the device isn't in the gnome-panel anymore, then it is safe | 09:11 |
| xaphoo | how does one enable anti-aliasing text-only? | 09:11 |
| msowders | hmm can I manually add a device to the Fstab such as this (/dev/sdb1 * 1 12187 97892046 7 HPFS/NTFS) trying to mount it but it does not exist under fstab but comes up under fdisk -l | 09:11 |
| Dew420`irie | mandrig : it should be near the bottom, it's not in a folder | 09:11 |
| xaphoo | I mean what line in xorg.conf or whatever | 09:11 |
| Slart | msowders: I don't know about the * ... but yes.. you can add a line to fstab | 09:11 |
| pr0nGuy | babolat: but I don't even see the thing on my desktop even when it's mounted (maybe 'cause my desktop is so cluttered). | 09:12 |
| mandrig | Dew420`irie: I know, its not in the home folder, however, I found a conky.conf in /etc/conky | 09:12 |

| Dew420`irie | Im not too sure then mandrig I haven't used conky much | 09:12 |
| Slart | msowders: if you add the line you can run "sudo mount -a" to mount everything in /etc/fstab.. it will print out error messages if anything is wrong | 09:12 |
| babolat | pr0nGuy: what kind of device are you trying to mount? | 09:12 |
| mandrig | Dew420`irie: Slart, Yep the /etc/conky/conky.conf is what i'm looking for | 09:12 |
| Slart | msowders: you might want to take a look at "man fstab" first.. there are some extra stuff you might need to write in the fstab | 09:13 |
| jah | he | 09:13 |
| jah | y | 09:13 |

| mneptok | spsneo: currently the very best deal on support from Canonical is offered by Dell. for ~US$250, you get a year of unlimited cases. if you think you'll need some help with stuff, this is the best deal you can get on Ubuntu support. | 09:23 |

| Slart | HappyHater: there isn't a sfv-file? | 09:25 |
| babolat | HappyHater: If you're trying a downloaded archive via bittorrent, you might want to check comments regarding the file. It might be a broken or corrupt archive. | 09:25 |

| netron1234 | ok... its a problem with thumbnails for folders. in the new nautilus they are the SAME size as folder icons. very annoying. | 09:27 |

| Slart | jah: you can change the repos settings using the system, administration, software sources dialog.. I don't know where the file is.. I think it's called sources.list or something like that | 09:27 |
| mneptok | netron1234: you can change thumbnail preview size with gconf-editor | 09:27 |

| netron1234 | mneptok-> ah! no i didnt. should i? | 09:31 |
| mneptok | netron1234: you'll also want to rm -r ~/.thumbnails/* | 09:31 |
| pr0nGuy | babolat: If I try to add some files when it's not mounted, will there be anything that says that it's not mounted? | 09:31 |

| rascal999 | also, I've already got the image, so do you think I could replace the 'mini.iso' with the iso I've downloaded? | 09:52 |
| theFATMAN | slart: is it adviseable to enable it? | 09:52 |
| rascal999 | (the server edition) | 09:52 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: you're probably behind a router.. you need to forward a port from the router to your computer | 09:52 |
| theFATMAN | slart: know a good tut? | 09:52 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: not unless you need it.. which you probably don't if you're behind a router | 09:53 |
| theFATMAN | slart: ok | 09:53 |
| tim167 | babolat: thanks i'll check it out | 09:53 |
| Slart | theFATMAN: check the azureus help.. I think it's even in the azureus menu's | 09:53 |

| fdsss | The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected | 09:54 |
| serenity | is there a ppa for the latest (beta) nvidia drivers? | 09:54 |
| fdsss | when I safety remove media this comes up every time The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected | 09:55 |
| fdsss | what gives | 09:56 |
| Chapai | is there a wireless (wifi) channel not ubuntu specific | 09:56 |
| B_L_A_C_K_B_O_X | hohoho | 09:56 |
| Slart | fdsss: does that for me too... or rather it used to.. haven't seen it in a while now.. might have been fixed in an update | 09:57 |
| Vixus | Right, this is actually crazy. | 09:57 |
| Vixus | I reenabled the nvidia driver and it's running again but now my resolution's maxed out at 640x480 | 09:57 |
| fdsss | I have already updated my machine | 09:57 |
| fdsss | when I safety remove media this comes up every time The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected | 09:57 |
| Vixus | can anyone help me out? | 09:58 |
| babolat | !ask | Vixus | 09:59 |
| ubottu | Vixus: 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. :-) | 09:59 |
| Sarah | is there a way to revert back to firefox 2 or do i just uninstall the firefox 3 beta then install 2 seperately? | 10:00 |
| cypha | if i make scrollback lines 0 in the preferences, will it be unlimited? | 10:00 |
| babolat | Sarah: a separate installation of Ff2 is ok | 10:00 |

| Dew420 | Vixus : system > preferences > screen resolution | 10:01 |
| babolat | lol Dew420 | 10:01 |
| Sarah | Dew420, oh well it just occasionally closes or freezes, i think its something to do with not liking java or maybe flash videos | 10:01 |
| Krept1 | I'm in trouble here, I may crash again soon | 10:01 |
| DJones | fdsss: What media is it? if its a cd/dvd/ the drive will sometimes be able to eject the cd, if its a usb ket/removable hard drive, that can't be physically ejected without user intervention | 10:01 |
| Sarah | so i thought id wait until its not beta to upgrade to ff2 | 10:01 |
| Sarah | er ff3 | 10:01 |
| Krept1 | Can someone help me with a wifi bug? | 10:01 |
| Dew420 | What is up with that :( everyone has problems with ff3 + flash..I have yet to encounter it lol | 10:01 |
| Vixus | Dew420, unfortunately, that setting has disappeared from the menu. | 10:01 |
| Sarah | Dew420, lucky | 10:01 |
| Sarah | lol | 10:02 |
| Dew420 | Okay vixus hold one | 10:02 |

| Dew420 | I believe there should be another option in system > admin | 10:02 |
| Dew420 | I had that problem in the alpha release of hardy heron..thats how I had to change it. I just can't remember what it is and it's not showing up for me :( | 10:02 |
| Vixus | I'm trying to use the nVidia configurator but the screen is too small to see the whole window. : ( | 10:02 |
| Dew420 | Ah, is yur res usually higher? | 10:03 |
| JFerret | anyone know of a drop down (quake) terminal for gnome? | 10:03 |
| Krept1 | my wifi bug started after upgrading to hardy heron | 10:03 |
| DracoZA | Ok I still cant sudo even on recovery mode as root ! | 10:03 |
| rrohde | JFerret: try "tilda" | 10:03 |
| Krept1 | woah draco, dang | 10:03 |
| DracoZA | This is a brand new installation ?? | 10:03 |
| Vixus | Dew420, it was 1280x800 last night.. then this morning I booted up and it said it couldn't detect my monitor and card. So I enabled nv drivers, rebooted, enabled nvidia drivers, rebooted and voila 640x480 res. | 10:04 |
| JFerret | rrohde: does not work for me :( | 10:04 |
| rrohde | why not? | 10:04 |
| rrohde | works for me : ) | 10:04 |

| gd1 | Sometimes screen image shifts right or left by some pixels on a random basis | 10:08 |
| gd1 | what can I do to fix it? | 10:08 |
| erUSUL | Vixus: you have to restart the X server | 10:08 |
| Vixus | erUSUL, right | 10:09 |
| gd1 | it's terrible | 10:09 |
| DracoZA | Slart, you may be right | 10:09 |

| Krepta | ? | 10:09 |
| Krepta | sooo, that's why. | 10:09 |
| gd1 | Dew420: the whole image on the screen shifts right or left | 10:09 |
| gd1 | by some pixels | 10:09 |
| jorje_villafan | I created a home partition. everything went well until the end when my computer shut down right before the fstab part and now I cant login. | 10:10 |
| gd1 | on a totally random basis | 10:10 |
| erUSUL | jorje_villafan: boot into recovery mode and fix the fstab | 10:10 |

| ikonia | gd1: is your screen shifting around ? | 10:11 |
| Krepta | ubuntuforums.org refuses to let me post | 10:11 |
| Dew420 | gd1 : to me it sounds like a graphics card or monitor problem. but im not an expert | 10:11 |
| lopin | I've got a problem with an atheros card, a madwifi driver, and my modprobe complaining that it's tainted... | 10:11 |
| ruiboon | for those with issues re firefox crashing on websites with flash, there seems to be a fix released, Try upgrading flashplugin-nonfree to 10.0.1.218ubuntu1 (might take some time to propagate through the mirrors) | 10:11 |
| gd1 | no problem under windows | 10:11 |

| gd1 | very strange | 10:12 |
| Krepta | lopin, mmmm, sorry, can't help you, no idea what to do | 10:12 |

| erUSUL | jorje_villafan: recovery menu? on grub there is an entry to boot into recovery mode (root without gui) so you can edit fstab to fix the thing up | 10:13 |
| Krepta | I'm wondering how anyone get's anywhere with so many people talking at once. | 10:14 |
| lopin | gdl didn't they kinda work everything out in the open intel drivers? | 10:14 |
| lopin | gdl and isn't intel opening their drivers? | 10:14 |
| erUSUL | !who | Krepta | 10:14 |
| ubottu | Krepta: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 10:14 |
| Slart | Krepta: by putting the name of the person you're talking to at the start of the message.. and using a client that highlights for you | 10:14 |
| jorje_villafan | erUSUL: I am there already just don't know any commands to fix it | 10:14 |
| Dew420 | Krepta : what Slart said just before I got to hitting enter | 10:14 |
| erUSUL | jorje_villafan: you said the only thing left for the change was editting fstab to add the home partition right? | 10:15 |
| Krepta | Dew420 and Slart: Thanks for the tip, but I have no one to specifically talk to, as I need help and have no idea who to ask. *shrugs* | 10:15 |
| erUSUL | jorje_villafan: nano is a text mode editor. "nano /etc/fstab" and fix the fstab | 10:15 |
| Dew420 | Krepta : state your question and smeone who thinks they can help will answer | 10:15 |

| Krepta | How do I keep my old HP Pavilion N5250 laptop computer from crashing with two blinking lights as a result of some strange bug that has something to do with the Edimax EW 7108PCG PCI 802.11g Wifi card? *takes a deep breath* | 10:18 |
| Krepta | The crashing only started happening, randomly, after the upgrade to Hardy Heron, and doesn't always happen as a result of high speed network transfers, sometimes it happens while relatively little is happening. | 10:19 |
| Slart | Krepta: check the syslog (tail /var/log/syslog) , kernel log (tail /var/log/kern.log) for any error messages. | 10:19 |
| Dew420 | p1tt1 : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430123 see if that helps | 10:19 |
| Slart | Krepta: tail only shows the last 10 lines or so.. you can set this by using tail -n 20 to get the 20 last lines.. | 10:20 |
| Dew420 | Slart : you know too much! ahhh :P | 10:20 |
| Krepta | Slart: No errors listed, not surprising since the computer halts, no hard drive activity, nothing, just two blinking lights. | 10:21 |

| SilverMx | Krepta: where that menu? for see what hardware u have | 10:23 |
| erUSUL | jorje_villafan: well in recovery mode you should have all the permisions ... but do "sudo nano /etc/fstab" if you like | 10:23 |
| Slart | Krepta: check the forums if anyone else has the same laptop/wireless card.. apart from that.. well.. it's hard to troubleshoot without any kind of error message.. especially with wifi drivers | 10:24 |

| jah | hi, where can I (in gnome) disable that mounted drives are shown on desktop? | 10:44 |
| jorje_villafan | erUSUL: well, after my computer shut down before the fstab part, i was able to do a safe terminal session login. I then added the the line to fstab and saved. then restarted with the an error message stating that I needed to change /home permissions to 644. i logged back in with the safe terminal mode I checked to see if my new home partition was recognized, which it was. then I went to change permissions in my home folder, I changed | 10:45 |
| jorje_villafan | the file access to rw and when I clicked apply to everything inside the permission went back to -- . So being lamo that I am I check the / permissions I don't think I changed anything there, but it was after that that I couldn't log back in, so I must have done something. Then I grabbed the other computer and came here. | 10:45 |
| magnetron | jah: it's a gconf setting for nautilus | 10:45 |

| Krepta | I was upset when xmms vanished from my system, so I tried to install xmms2, and there is no GUI that looks like winamp, which is why I liked xmms in the first place. :( Is there a winamp-like app I can get? | 10:47 |
| magnetron | cypha: right click the system menu and choose "edit" | 10:48 |
| swuboo | Krepta: Audacity | 10:48 |
| cypha | ya | 10:48 |
| Krepta | swuboo: ty | 10:48 |
| magnetron | Krepta: are you looking for the skin? | 10:48 |
| swuboo | Krepta: np, I had the same issue. | 10:48 |
| cypha | magnetron: then? | 10:49 |
| Krepta | as long as it looks like, and operates much like winamp, can use winamp plugins including mp3pro and stuff, then I'll be happy | 10:49 |
| magnetron | cypha: then choose system and add a new item | 10:49 |
| cypha | how do i find it in New Item? | 10:49 |
| simmerz | when i mount something using gnome vfs, it isn't available to any other apps. when i mount it using `mount`, it is, but it doesn't appear in my mounts applet. any ideas? | 10:50 |
| swuboo | Krepta: I don't know about plugins, to be honest. But it takes winamp skins, so it's hard to look more like it. | 10:50 |
| thejranjan | first time in IRC pls help | 10:50 |
| vemon | Krepta, the winamp-like app at the moment is Audacious (not audacity as stated by someone) | 10:50 |
| magnetron | cypha: just enter "gconf-editor" | 10:50 |
| swuboo | vemon: Er, that was me. | 10:50 |
| cypha | ahhh | 10:50 |
| cypha | coool | 10:50 |
| cypha | how could i locate it anyway? | 10:50 |
| MasseR | Xmms reminds me of the old winamp (2.5?) | 10:50 |
| Krepta | sounds way better than Esparza to me | 10:50 |
| swuboo | And yes, you're right, I meant Audacious. I apologize. | 10:50 |
| cypha | i know i can do locate gconf-editor | 10:51 |
| vemon | Krepta, another nice app I is beep-media-player which I think is the ancestor of audacious | 10:51 |

| seanj | can anybody help me with zsnes having no sound? i thought i could dittch windows but this is looking pretty dismal | 11:01 |
| Myrtti | ruiboon: #ubuntu-sg? | 11:01 |
| magnetron | sarthor: just above that option | 11:02 |
| magnetron | sarthor: V4L vs V4Lv2 | 11:02 |
| Ububegin | Myrtti: are you sure there's a Singapore channel for ubuntu | 11:02 |
| Myrtti | Ububegin: no? | 11:02 |
| sarthor | magnetron, Ok.. let me do it again. | 11:02 |

| magnetron | seanj: are you running any other sound using applications at the same time? | 11:03 |
| seanj | magnetron, no I am not | 11:03 |
| magnetron | seanj: maybe zsnes needs aoss / alsa-oss | 11:03 |
| ruiboon | Myrtti: erm.. i was not clear. i mean the channel that is 'in-charge' of the locos. as the web page for the loco here has been spammed. | 11:03 |
| seanj | magnetron, I even disabled sistem sound | 11:03 |
| Myrtti | #ubuntu-irc would be it | 11:03 |

| seanj | I will try to get OSS support | 11:03 |
| ruiboon | Myrtti: thanks | 11:03 |
| Myrtti | spitfirekdv: apt-file might be it | 11:04 |
| seanj | magnetron, alsa-oss is enabled... is there a broken package in zsnes? | 11:04 |
| sarthor | magnetron, there is v4l2 already, and no v4Lv2, V4L2 is selected. its video plugin | 11:04 |
| aurax | is there a benchmark somewhere comparing centos to ubuntu-server ? | 11:05 |
| seanj | i just deleted windows thinking i would be free to do whatever i want | 11:05 |
| seanj | now i can't even get zsnes working | 11:05 |
| ricanelite | is there a way when I move a windows in Ubuntu Linux Hardy that I could make it transparent when I'm moving it | 11:05 |
| magnetron | sarthor: try with V4L too | 11:05 |
| aurax | anyone |? | 11:05 |
| magnetron | seanj: you use aoss by running "aoss zsnes" on a command line | 11:06 |
| aurax | !*\ | 11:06 |
| seanj | okay I'll try | 11:06 |
| vemon | aurax, google might be your friend for such a question | 11:06 |
| cypha | what's window redirect in compiz? | 11:06 |
| seanj | magnetron, still no sound | 11:06 |
| cypha | what's it mean, i mean | 11:07 |
| ramontayag | ok, i guess my question is too long and vague. :) lhow about this: how do you check to see if you have NetworkManager installed? | 11:07 |
| magnetron | seanj: is sound enabled in zsnes? i remember i had to enable it manually | 11:07 |

| seanj | so Ubuntu ships with a broken one,t hat's great | 11:10 |
| Boohbah | seanj: it is possible to compile it yourself... i know it's not the ubuntu way | 11:10 |
| psilo | You have to google for the old zsnes and compile it, that's all. it's not ubuntu's fault so much as zsnes', I think. | 11:11 |
| seanj | well someone maintines it | 11:11 |
| seanj | maintains | 11:11 |
| seanj | would thikn it would work | 11:11 |
| psilo | How about that groups output, anybody? | 11:11 |
| seanj | I'd say that's the maintainer's fault | 11:11 |
| seanj | so that would go back to Debian, ya? | 11:11 |
| pitbullthe1st | Is this the right place for laptop enquires? | 11:11 |
| aurax | nope | 11:12 |
| vemon | seanj, depends. if the package version ends with 0-ubuntuN, then the maintainer is in ubuntu, otherwise (1-ubuntuN 2-ubuntuN ...) the package is from debian | 11:12 |
| seanj | it's debian | 11:13 |
| fdsss | interesting vemon | 11:13 |
| seanj | i wish it all workefd... i just ran away from Windows just to slam up against this problem | 11:13 |

| seanj | it's not lik ei want to play Doom 3..just some emulated games | 11:13 |
| seanj | pretty sad | 11:13 |
| fdsss | ubuntu is based off of debian's package system | 11:14 |

| ranit | how to get it working | 11:17 |
| cypha | lol, i know, it came with my hp | 11:17 |
| johnny_ | for bbconf when i run ./configure i get checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 11:17 |
| cypha | i have the 4322 | 11:17 |
| cypha | 4322AG | 11:17 |
| ranit | right | 11:17 |
| seanj | maybe with WINE I can run Windows version of ZSNEs | 11:18 |
| magnetron | cypha: did you run the driver manager? | 11:18 |
| ranit | yes | 11:18 |
| fdsss | johnny: blackbox uses the right click to open up applications | 11:18 |
| cypha | i apt-get installed linux-restricted-modules-generic | 11:18 |
| magnetron | cypha: but did you run the driver manager? | 11:18 |
| flipper1 | is there any way to get totem to play videos or audio at a faster tempo (i.e. "time stretched")? | 11:18 |
| johnny_ | theres nothing but xterm restart and exit in mine fdsss | 11:18 |
| cypha | linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic <--- didn't exist | 11:18 |
| psilo | flipper1: not sure about totem, but mplayer will. | 11:18 |
| magnetron | cypha: but did you run the driver manager?! | 11:18 |
| cypha | what's the driver manager? | 11:19 |
| cypha | i thought that was it | 11:19 |
| ramontayag | hmm.. okay how about this :) i want to save and restore iptables rules when I shutdown and boot up. How do I do that if I do not have /etc/network/interfaces.template? /etc/network/interfaces says not to edit itself because it's autogenerated. | 11:19 |
| flipper1 | mmm, I'll check that out, thanks psilo | 11:19 |
| psilo | flipper1: in the manpage, see the -ffactor option. | 11:19 |
| fdsss | johnny: so pretty much every thing you access in blackbox is through the right click menu | 11:19 |
| magnetron | cypha: i take that as a "no". in system > administration, there's the hardware drivers guide. | 11:19 |
| cypha | yes | 11:19 |
| johnny_ | theres nothing but xterm restart and exit in mine fdsss | 11:19 |
| cypha | it's not listed in there | 11:19 |
| cypha | oh | 11:20 |
| magnetron | cypha: maybe it's because you installed modules manually. | 11:20 |
| cypha | in the help file | 11:20 |
| fdsss | johnny: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 11:20 |
| johnny_ | gutsy | 11:20 |
| cypha | how would i have installed it automatically? | 11:20 |
| johnny_ | but theres never been anything there | 11:20 |
| magnetron | cypha: by running the driver manager! | 11:20 |

| psilo | ramontayag: put whatever you want in your init scripts for runlevels 0 (shutdown) and 4 (multi-user boot), iirc. | 11:21 |
| johnny_ | can you pastebin your .blackboxrc fdsss | 11:21 |
| fdsss | I never used blackbox in ubuntu before | 11:21 |
| cypha | or not? | 11:21 |
| johnny_ | and how do i install things | 11:21 |
| magnetron | no. the hardware drivers guide, cypha | 11:21 |
| magnetron | cypha: you should have run that. without installing random packages manually. | 11:22 |
| cypha | the hardware drivers guide is in the help file? | 11:22 |
| fdsss | I am not currently using blackbox | 11:22 |
| magnetron | cypha: no | 11:22 |
| fdsss | I like fluxbox better then blackbox | 11:22 |
| magnetron | cypha: in system > administration | 11:22 |
| johnny_ | checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 11:22 |
| fdsss | fluxbox is based off of blackbox | 11:22 |
| johnny_ | what do i do to fix that? | 11:22 |
| cypha | and go to "Hardware Drivers" ? | 11:22 |
| magnetron | cypha: YES! | 11:22 |
| [BTF]Jehar | Hey, I was wondering if I could make a desktop link in gnome that didn't have an icon, but just text. | 11:22 |
| cypha | then what | 11:22 |
| fdsss | I have no idea | 11:23 |
| cypha | there is nothing there but my nvidia | 11:23 |
| [BTF]Jehar | Or the text to the side of the icon, perhaps. | 11:23 |
| fdsss | I am not a linux know it all | 11:23 |
| magnetron | cypha: then you shouldn't have instaled the kernel modules package | 11:23 |
| DracoZA | If I delete items using gksudo nautilus they dont end up in my trash, my trash is empty but the disk space is still being used ? | 11:23 |
| Dew420 | Oh yeah. is there a way to change the color of the text under an icon? | 11:23 |
| cypha | is that the linux-restricted-modules-generic ? | 11:23 |
| cypha | =kernel modules package? | 11:23 |
| magnetron | cypha: hmhm | 11:23 |
| cypha | oh | 11:24 |
| magnetron | cypha: yes. | 11:24 |
| cypha | sorry | 11:24 |
| Dew420 | BTF Jehar : try using special symbols if you want to get rid of the text completely, some of them will show nothing | 11:24 |
| cypha | i was following the guide | 11:24 |
| cypha | what should i do? | 11:24 |
| magnetron | cypha: which guide? | 11:24 |
| cypha | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM43xx_(all,_ndiswrapper/firmware)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice) | 11:24 |
| ricanelite | is there a way I could make the windows that I move transparent? | 11:24 |
| ricanelite | I'm using Compiz-Fusion | 11:24 |
| psilo | DracoZA: if the files are opened by any other process they will not be deleted until closed | 11:25 |
| [BTF]Jehar | Dew420: Actually, it's just the opposite that I want. | 11:25 |
| DracoZA | psilo I have restarted | 11:25 |
| [BTF]Jehar | Text without the icon. | 11:25 |
| Dew420 | Ah | 11:25 |
| fdsss | johnny_: what I would do is just uninstall blackbox then reinstall it and see if that fixes the problem | 11:25 |
| psilo | DracoZA: hm, updatedb && slocate 'one of the files you deleted' | 11:25 |
| magnetron | cypha: did you finally run the "restricted driver manager", as that guide tells you to do? | 11:25 |
| johnny_ | there is no problem | 11:25 |
| psilo | DracoZA: figure out where they're hiding, which might tell you what's going on | 11:25 |
| johnny_ | it needs to be configured | 11:25 |
| johnny_ | i dont know how , im new | 11:26 |
| DracoZA | psilo, okie dokie | 11:26 |
| Ontolog | Does run level 2 include networking? | 11:26 |
| johnny_ | i asked if any one knew a really good guide for newbs | 11:26 |
| ranit | magnetron: iam using hardy and finding trouble with wifi Broadcom http://pastebin.com/m3b6021f3 | 11:26 |
| fdsss | when I used blackbox it did not need to be configured | 11:26 |
| magnetron | ranit: then ask the channel | 11:26 |
| psilo | I have just "sudo adduser psilo <group>" for several groups. None of them are in my `groups` output. What gives? | 11:26 |
| Ontolog | I did update-rc.d service defaults and I see it adds the service to runlevel 2 | 11:26 |
| cypha | isn't that the Hardware Drivers in System>Administration? | 11:26 |
| psilo | ubu's group management seems sketchy. I did 'usermod -G group psilo' and lost my sudo ability. heh | 11:26 |
| magnetron | cypha: yes. | 11:27 |
| cypha | i'm in there | 11:27 |
| cypha | it's not listed | 11:27 |
| magnetron | so, "yes" then | 11:27 |
| cypha | yeah | 11:27 |
| cypha | btw | 11:27 |
| cypha | you see how it says to get a second file? | 11:27 |
| cypha | that file is old now, being that this was written for gutsy | 11:28 |
| johnny_ | fire fox is taking a really long time to scroll down | 11:28 |
| johnny_ | all the sudden , why? | 11:28 |
| magnetron | cypha: that guide is old and not adapted for hardy | 11:28 |
| cypha | so i looked in the the synaptic thing, and searched for restricted | 11:28 |
| cypha | or linux-restricted actually | 11:28 |
| ricanelite | is there a compiz irc channel? | 11:28 |
| flipper1 | mmm, mplayer doesn't seem to have any gui options to speed up playback. Going to check a few other players. | 11:28 |
| psilo | johnny_: cause FF is a beast? :) That is often due mainly to flash in the page. | 11:28 |
| cypha | and it turned up a newer one | 11:28 |
| cypha | actualy, a few of them, and i didn't know which to get | 11:28 |
| cypha | maybe you can tell me? | 11:28 |
| psilo | flipper1: gmplayer should take the same options | 11:28 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: I don't know a good tool to check run levels. In Red Hat world you can use chkconfig for this i think. I can only guide you to look in /etc/rcX.d | 11:28 |
| cypha | and then it'll show up in the restricted drivers list | 11:29 |
| johnny_ | there is no flash open psilo | 11:29 |
| flipper1 | gak, I tried a whole day to get compiz to work with an old ATI Mobility 7000 card. neat stuff though | 11:29 |
| johnny_ | just two pages and both are all txt | 11:29 |
| fdsss | johnny: I noticed if I change my useragent that does not happen any more on flash based websites | 11:29 |
| Ontolog | Blinkiz: oh the tool is update-rc.d but I'm just curious about what if networking support is available in rc2; i guess i should just look haha | 11:29 |
| johnny_ | how can i fix it psilo | 11:29 |
| Supermeng | hi,. | 11:29 |
| lirit | where are the sounds file of pidgin located? | 11:29 |
| johnny_ | if it is a flash problem | 11:29 |
| Supermeng | how to install "ubuntu server 64bit" to RAID-0? | 11:30 |
| psilo | johnny_: flash ads can drag FF down, I use a flash block extension. For casual browsing though, I just use Opera, it's much faster. | 11:30 |
| fdsss | any slackware users in here | 11:30 |
| psilo | fdsss: former, yes :) | 11:30 |
| psilo | after tonight's "usermod" fiasco I'm nearly considering going back. | 11:30 |
| * psilo jokes. | 11:31 | |
| fdsss | slackware is at version 12.1 now | 11:31 |
| node357 | well nice, windows version of ZSNES works fine with WINE, ... native version is FUBAR. very encouraing | 11:31 |
| node357 | encouraging | 11:31 |
| psilo | last I used was 12.0, just a few months ago | 11:31 |
| Krepta | well, I hope I don't crash... I've finished installing the new wifi drivers and stuff | 11:31 |
| Dew420 | node357 : there have been reported bugs with pulseaudio that could be causing the no-sound | 11:31 |
| nnaabbcc | PART | 11:32 |
| Supermeng | can anyone tell me, how to install "ubuntu server 64bit" to RAID-0 on mainboard?, I can't becase it can see 2 harddisks... | 11:32 |
| node357 | Dew420, that's good to know. I wish I knew more about pulseaudio, maybe I could fix the problem | 11:32 |

| jason__ | can someone help me with the ubuntu file system | 11:33 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: I have found a tool to manage run levels. apt-get install sysvconfig. | 11:34 |
| yassine | is the gnome-network-manager buggy in hardy ? I can't get the VPN options in the expected system tray (nm-applet) even after installing required plugins anyone have an idea? | 11:35 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: You also have the program sysv-rc-config | 11:36 |
| Ontolog | Blinkiz: thanks man but I think update-rc.d will do the trick and is the standard ubuntu way | 11:36 |
| jason__ | I have 2 disks one 40 gig with the ubuntu installed and the swap file and a 320 gig one that I want to use for media, but I canf find the 320 gig drive | 11:36 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: I thought you where looking for when networking was started? | 11:36 |
| Ontolog | Blinkiz: I just found this article on run levels on Debian/Ubuntu: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html | 11:37 |
| Ontolog | Blinkiz: It seems everything is started in run level 2 on this system | 11:38 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: yeah | 11:38 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: Didn't know that | 11:38 |
| cypha | can someone tell me which linux-restricted-modules-generic i should download in synaptic so i can see the restricted driver listed in the hardware drivers list? | 11:39 |
| cypha | i'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM43xx_(all,_ndiswrapper/firmware)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice) | 11:40 |
| cypha | but it's a bit outdated | 11:40 |
| crak | hi all | 11:40 |
| jason__ | anyone with any help | 11:40 |
| Ontolog | Blinkiz: I believe redhat (used to at least) load the graphical environment at runlevel 5, and networking stuff was loaded at run level 3. I believe the run levels were cascading but it seems run levels are not cascading on ubuntu. | 11:41 |
| db92 | how can i test ubuntu to see if my gfx card is working correctly? (or something like that :ppPpP) | 11:41 |
| Blinkiz | Ontolog: yes, its like that | 11:41 |
| Blinkiz | db92: What graphic card do you have? | 11:41 |
| magnetron | cypha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy | 11:42 |

| HELP_ | ok | 11:42 |
| emma | crak - Then in addition to this channel you might want to check out #kubuntu-kde4 | 11:42 |

| HELP_ | how would i access my haddrive folder (through my livecd) with root permission? | 11:43 |
| db92 | Blinkiz: i mean something like an efficiency test, not what im told | 11:43 |
| cypha | The bcm43xx driver has full support of the Linux Wireless Extensions and therefore should use wpa_supplicant via the wext driver interface | 11:43 |
| kakoonia | any ideas? | 11:43 |
| crak | i need to install the latest one in order to support the GPU 9600 | 11:43 |
| cypha | i have no idea what that means | 11:43 |
| db92 | Blinkiz: it has a control center by itself but i want to see how well it does in the act :P | 11:44 |
| ikonia | HELP_: what is the problem. Are you having trouble mounting the drive ? | 11:44 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: I can mount the drive, but some files in there say i don't have permission to access them | 11:44 |
| ikonia | HELP_: is this on a Fat file system or NTFS ? | 11:44 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: Im not sure, i think its Fat | 11:44 |
| crak | but i need to reinstall the drivers after a reboot, coz of a mismatch.. | 11:45 |
| eisenhower | hey, i keep trying to use cd to get into this dir Vampire\ Weekend\ (Blue\ CD-R) but i keep getting unexpeccted token "(' any idea what i need to do to get into this dir? | 11:45 |
| Blinkiz | db92: Well, you have a useless program with the name xengine that can do some benchmarking :-P | 11:45 |
| db92 | roooofl | 11:45 |
| db92 | kk | 11:45 |
| Slart | eisenhower: try escaping it.. instead of '(', write '\(' | 11:45 |
| ikonia | HELP_: ok, thats quite common for fat, you need to either a.) mount it with the permissions of the user you want to use as fat has no permissions on the file system, you can do this with -o user=$username as a mount option, or b.) launch nautilus with root permissions with gksudo nautilus | 11:46 |
| Slart | eisenhower: same with ')' | 11:46 |
| be-net | hi | 11:46 |
| eisenhower | That did the trick | 11:46 |
| Chris_M | eisenhower: or set the whole path under " and " | 11:46 |
| eisenhower | thanks slart | 11:46 |
| Slart | eisenhower: I think putting the folder name in quotes works too | 11:46 |
| eisenhower | quotes work to? | 11:46 |
| eisenhower | mhmm. didn't know that. ty | 11:46 |
| db92 | Blinkiz: it just gives me mass reports about somethings rotations per minute :P | 11:46 |
| Slart | eisenhower: you're welcome | 11:46 |
| cypha | magnetron, i really appreciate all the help you've given, and even digging up that site...but i'm honestly still a bit confused as to what to do | 11:46 |
| be-net | hi | 11:46 |
| be-net | what is your name | 11:47 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: hwo would i mount it with permissions of the user? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | HELP_: use mount -o user | 11:47 |
| Slart | be-net: do you have an ubuntu related question? | 11:47 |
| cypha | first of all, should i be uninstalling the kernel things that i got? | 11:47 |
| Blinkiz | db92: yeah, isn't it useless? :-D | 11:47 |
| ikonia | HELP_: more details available with man mount | 11:47 |
| Chris_M | eisenhower: you can also use the tab key to autocomplete the path for you, once you've started typing the path (and have it auto-escape all special chars) | 11:47 |
| Blinkiz | db92: See the game http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/ for some action! | 11:47 |
| Blinkiz | db92: it runs without problem on my ubuntu. | 11:48 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: whats a man mount?, the problem with my harddrive is that i accidently removed libgtk2.0 | 11:48 |
| db92 | Blinkiz: yes, the issue is doing something like a real benchmark on the card, that should be somewhat lightweight :P | 11:48 |

| kakoonia | Hey.. i installed ubuntu7.10, and each application involving sound gets stuck.. i didnt have this problem when i installed 7.10 2 month's ago.. now its a pretty fresh installation..any ideas of how to solve this? | 11:49 |
| Blinkiz | db92: What should you compare against really? The best thing is to use a game for linux. See some cool effects. See a game list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_games | 11:49 |
| eisenhower | Chris_M: the tab thing totally didn't work. lOl | 11:49 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: its broken the ubuntu desktop, and i can't access gnome. all the repositorys seem to be broken, i can't reinstall or install anything :s | 11:49 |
| magnetron | cypha: you need to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter package and run it | 11:49 |
| ikonia | HELP_: ok, so you can't access the desktop, so what is your current status, are you stuck in a shell ? | 11:50 |
| Ademan | wathek: yes, although you may have a problem if you have more installed than the default software (you have to add the CD as a repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list although it may do it automatically these days) | 11:50 |
| ikonia | HELP_: how (what command) did you do to remove libgtk | 11:50 |
| cypha | should i uninstall the other stuff? | 11:50 |
| cypha | or the 1 other thing, rather | 11:50 |
| cypha | the restricted driver i installed | 11:50 |
| wathek | Ademan, ah cool | 11:50 |
| Ademan | wathek: but if you have access to the internet AND the CD, i think it will let you do both, although considering most of the packages on the CD are probably outdated anyways... | 11:50 |
| wathek | Ademan, yes that's what I'm gonna do | 11:50 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801392 | 11:50 |
| magnetron | cypha: i don't really know how the package you installed affects this | 11:51 |
| Chris_M | eisenhower: well it can be that there are similar paths and you have to hit tab twice to show them | 11:51 |
| cypha | so then maybe i should just uninstall it | 11:51 |
| wathek | Ademan, what should I add to the source.list ? | 11:51 |
| Ademan | can anyone name some text editors/IDEs with vi/vim emulation? I love VIM but i'd rather use a full fledged IDE, i just can't edit without :w scattered all throughought my text :-p | 11:51 |
| Jav13r_ | how come no geek created a tray plugin for thunderbird. makes no sense to me. thunderbird is extremely popular,and there is a tray plugin for windows. how come linux donr have such a plugin? | 11:51 |
| Chris_M | eisenhower: then you'd have to give it more characters until it knows which one to choose :) | 11:51 |
| cypha | how should i uninstall it? | 11:51 |
| cypha | (ie. which type of uninstall) | 11:51 |
| ikonia | HELP_: ok, that makes sense | 11:52 |
| Ademan | wathek: well have you tried just inserting the CD ? because i remember a popup saying "this cd has a software repository on it do you wish to add it?" or something like that | 11:52 |
| Chris_M | eisenhower: you can also complete commands that way, try rmd<tab> for example to complete to rmdir | 11:52 |
| ikonia | HELP_: what was the .deb package you tried to install ? | 11:52 |
| wathek | Ademan, euh let me try | 11:52 |
| eisenhower | Chris_M: yea i guess it does work. I had to restart terminal | 11:52 |
| eisenhower | Chris_M: is there a way to get it to complete filenames too? | 11:52 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: well, i was trying to install gnome globlemenu | 11:53 |

| ikonia | HELP_: in what way ? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | HELP_: you should just get a command prompt in a recovery shell | 11:54 |
| Chris_M | eisenhower: should work out of the box. did you try <tab> twice? | 11:54 |
| eisenhower | oh the tab worked but only with directories. not with files | 11:55 |
| cypha | magnetron, what would be the proper way to uninstall the restricted drivers i installed? | 11:55 |
| HELP_ | ikonia: ok, so to get into grub recovry, i just press ESC whilst its loading, then go down to recovery mode and press 'b' to boot? | 11:55 |
| ikonia | HELP_: there should be an option that says "Recovery Mode" | 11:55 |

| osh_ | kasra: get the live-cd. boot from that. | 13:05 |
| kasra | osh_: then ? | 13:06 |
| sipior | ramontayag: i think it's fine just to edit /etc/network/interfaces directly. in fact, i don't even have a template file lying around... | 13:06 |
| robg_ | If you cannot get into your system anymore you will have to re-install. It only takes 1 to 2 hours. | 13:06 |

| sipior | ramontayag: upgrades should be smart enough not to touch a configured interfaces file | 13:06 |
| ramontayag | sipior.. strange. thank you i'll try it out. :) i'll let u know. erUSUL, I'll try editing it directly first then if that doesn't work i'll try rc.local (but I don't know what that is though hehe.. I'll read up on it) | 13:07 |
| erUSUL | ramontayag: imho you should just use something like shorewall or firehol or other firewall helper | 13:07 |

| anton | tj515: ok i will remove it 1st and then install it again.. | 13:49 |
| tj1515 | no | 13:49 |
| microwaver | philsf, sorry, I don't have any experience with ff3 (it's still in Beta form right?) + I presume you're a Hardy user :)? | 13:49 |
| tj1515 | try what rrohde said first | 13:49 |
| anton | tj515: ok what should i do? | 13:49 |
| rrohde_ | anton: it's easy, too | 13:49 |
| philsf | microwaver: you're right, I am | 13:49 |

| amikrop | Hello. In dist-upgrades, should we replace configuration files when asked by the updater? | 13:50 |
| anton | rrohde: can you help me with this? thanks in advance | 13:50 |
| rrohde_ | anton: open a terminal .. type "uname -r" | 13:50 |
| tj1515 | DracoZA: I love it too | 13:50 |
| rrohde_ | anton: that will give you your running kernel info | 13:50 |
| anton | rrohde: ok i did whats next? | 13:51 |
| rrohde_ | anton: with that info in mind, go back to the way you installed virtual box, and simply look down the lines there for that kernel module that matches the info you just gathered.. | 13:51 |
| rrohde_ | anton: then install that package | 13:52 |
| sipior | amikrop: if you've made modifications of your own, generally not | 13:52 |
| tj1515 | anton: If your still stuck after rrohde helps you I used this tutorial and it worked great for mr | 13:52 |

| anton | rrohde: i want to remove it 1st then install fresh | 13:55 |

| kthakore | joaopinto, I know but why no redirect in terminal? | 14:00 |
| joaopinto | kthakore, I don't how valgrind writes the output, if it writes to stdout/stderr, then yes, redirection will also work | 14:00 |
| rrohde_ | rrittenhouse: you don't have to use the -f, though.. you can use rm -r, too | 14:00 |
| Pici | kthakore: output redirection is working fine here, time waits for the program to finish, so you wont get you expect there. | 14:00 |

| pihhan | ok, then use iwconfig and that stuff, it is the best | 14:10 |
| pihhan | what stops you from installing it again? | 14:10 |

| Sinnerman | AnRkey: yes i have, and it appears not to want to load it up. Dr_willis i will check that out - that would save me some overhead. | 14:14 |
| NetTroller | so I'm guessing everybody used the network-manager..there isn't anything better ? | 14:14 |

| European-African | Where do I find the restricted drivers? It is not showing on the top panel! | 14:26 |
| Slart | jokkaa: you're welcome | 14:26 |
| Jav13r_ | gnome-theme-manager | 14:26 |
| Jav13r_ | bash: gnome-theme-manager: command not found | 14:26 |
| joaopinto | European-African, it is now called "hardware drivers" | 14:27 |
| Blinny | joaopinto: heh nah I just spent a few thousand on 8GB ECC for the hellofit (; | 14:27 |
| Jav13r_ | this means i have to install the theme manager? | 14:27 |
| European-African | ok thanx | 14:27 |
| nickleus | tcdumpgod: i'll take a look. thx so far. i'll probably b back | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | :) | 14:27 |
| Blinny | joaopinto: Yeah, this is an LTSP server. | 14:27 |
| jokkaa | Slart, the fun thing is that when i start up with root, thats the first thing i see | 14:27 |
| dbmoodb | tcpdumpgod: how is it going ? | 14:27 |
| Ienorand | Jav13r_: If you want to change gnome themes and stuff like that you can get to it by clicking on desktop-change background and then go to the theeme tab | 14:27 |
| dbmoodb | i hear they moved wireshark off the menu | 14:27 |
| tcpdumpgod | Good dbmoodb whats up? | 14:27 |
| tcpdumpgod | Did they now... | 14:27 |
| dbmoodb | yes the run as root option | 14:27 |
| wd4lko | video is jerky on dell gx260, should i buy a new card? what kind? | 14:28 |
| bogey- | !offtopic | dbmoodb | 14:28 |
| ubottu | dbmoodb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:28 |
| tcpdumpgod | Ah, you can still "gksudo wireshark" | 14:28 |
| Slart | jokkaa: huh? how long you've been logged in? or the list of logged in users? | 14:28 |
| dbmoodb | oh yes | 14:28 |
| dbmoodb | of course | 14:28 |
| Slart | jokkaa: you could use the "uptime" variable too.. unless you log in and out often | 14:28 |
| jokkaa | Slart, going su root> conky then a conky window apears that shows me how long ive been logged in | 14:28 |
| dbmoodb | last is good | 14:28 |
| Jav13r_ | Ienorand: i want to install this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 | 14:29 |
| jokkaa | well i never shut my comp off | 14:29 |
| dbmoodb | well you waste power | 14:29 |
| Slart | jokkaa: that's the default conky config.. and you're not talking about how long you've been logged in.. you're talking about uptime.. ie how long the machine has been running | 14:29 |
| dbmoodb | unless it is a small thing | 14:29 |

| amikrop | Is gmailfs legal? | 14:30 |
| oracolo | ciao a tutto il chan | 14:30 |
| jokkaa | Slart, well being logged in and my comp being on kinda goes hand in hand for me, but true different things they are. So question is, could i try finding the default conf and copy some lines from it? | 14:30 |
| dbmoodb | why wouldn't it be ? | 14:30 |
| Pici | !it | oracolo | 14:30 |
| ubottu | oracolo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 14:30 |
| Slart | jokkaa: take a look here.. http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html | 14:30 |
| joaopinto | amikrop, if it's available on the ubuntu repos, it is legal, at least from a distribution point of view | 14:31 |
| m1r | jokkaa: yes, find right config and combine with one u need | 14:31 |
| bazhang | amikrop, certainly | 14:31 |
| joaopinto | if is not on the ubuntu repos, just ask somwhere else :) | 14:31 |
| Ienorand | andJav13r_: The easiest way to install it is to take the downloaded tar.gz and drag it to the theme section in gnome-appear... that should install it automatically | 14:31 |
| amikrop | ok | 14:31 |
| amikrop | thanks | 14:31 |
| Slart | jokkaa: you just insert a $uptime in the .conkyrc | 14:31 |
| jokkaa | Slart, sweet page, gave me some reading and a few other things to set up xD | 14:33 |
| European-African | I am a bit confused? when you install envyNG it downloads and installs 30+ packages, but when I install from the restricted drivers it only installs nvidia-glx-new? does this mean it does not run as well? | 14:33 |
| dbmoodb | lenorand dragging them might be broken have yet to tried it tho | 14:33 |
| Ienorand | Jav13r_: A rather nice theme, ; ) although I'm not to hot on black... | 14:33 |
| bazhang | European-African, they are not meant to be used together | 14:33 |
| Slart | jokkaa: hope you find something interesting | 14:34 |
| Dr_willis | European-African, personally i wouldent install envyNG at all. | 14:34 |
| sitan | hi | 14:34 |
| Ienorand | I tried installing it just now by dragging into the theme tab, worked like a charm! | 14:34 |
| European-African | bazhang: I am install on seperate ubuntu's | 14:34 |
| bazhang | European-African, ah I see. | 14:34 |
| European-African | bazhang: I wanted to see if the one worked better than the other | 14:35 |
| European-African | bazhang: I was wondering if envyNG did a better job? because it downloads and installs extra package! | 14:35 |
| joaopinto | European-African, depending on more packages does not means it provides more functionality ! | 14:36 |
| bazhang | European-African, no means of comparing here as I only use the one. | 14:36 |
| European-African | joaopinto: then what are the extra packages for? | 14:36 |
| joaopinto | probably they are required to build the module for your kernel version | 14:36 |
| jatt | holly... | 14:36 |
| joaopinto | the extra packages are not driver functions | 14:37 |
| jatt | openssh-client and -server have upgrades for dapper | 14:37 |
| jatt | why? it is safe to upgrade? | 14:37 |
| European-African | ok | 14:37 |
| joaopinto | European-African, like I said you several minutes before, the restricted driver is the more stable, while envy is the latest | 14:37 |
| European-African | ok | 14:37 |
| joaopinto | if the restricted driver works fine for you, then you should keep it | 14:37 |
| European-African | well I dont mind if it is the latest | 14:38 |
| bazhang | envyng is now into the restricted-modules iirc | 14:38 |
| European-African | bazhang: yes that is right | 14:38 |
| Cromag | How do i take screenshots of dualscreen with Gnome ? Using Nvidia Xinerama | 14:38 |
| European-African | bazhang: that is why I wondered what to install! | 14:39 |
| m1r | cromag , print screen ? | 14:39 |
| Cromag | m1r: only one screen captured. | 14:39 |
| simplexio | or aplications -> take screenshot ? | 14:39 |
| Vedalken | Quick but stupid question: i just installed ubuntu and luckily it was a Side-by-side with Windows (on a seperate drive) otherwise i'd be screwed right now. Anyways, whenever the desktop screen pops up, it flickers and then freezes the computer. Any help would be appreciated. | 14:39 |
| m1r | cromag, i am using nvidia/ twinview for dual screen option and works just fine for prntscrn | 14:40 |
| CK-TECH | my numberic pad cant use help | 14:40 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: start linux in single mode and look what is in /var/log/X.org.log | 14:40 |
| m1r | cromag , dont know how xinerama works with dual setup | 14:41 |
| db92 | how can i use an svg icon on an app launcher? | 14:41 |
| jmh7080 | I'm starting to learn how to build packages, and I was wondering if there's a streamlined method for determining dependencies if I'm downloading source that's not in the repos. | 14:41 |
| simplexio | VaNNi: grub boot options and add single to last line | 14:41 |
| Cromag | m1r: hmm weird, it only shows up the first screen, THOUGH it looks like it IS wide as dualscreen.. | 14:41 |
| Vedalken | Simplexio: how would i go about starting it in Single mode? | 14:41 |
| scunizi | CK-TECH, I think Alt+shift+numlock will make it work. | 14:41 |
| logge | ll | 14:41 |
| Chapai | can you set up a wifi card, as ap in ubuntu if the card supports ap mode? | 14:41 |
| CK-TECH | 65465465464564654 | 14:41 |
| mohamed_ | hello all, is this screenlet version newer than exist in ubuntu repository ? http://www.getdeb.net/app/Screenlets | 14:41 |
| CK-TECH | scunizi, thanks | 14:41 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: grub boot options and add single to last line | 14:41 |
| m1r | cromag - hrvat ? | 14:42 |
| joaopinto | mohamed_, yes | 14:42 |
| Cromag | ill upload. | 14:42 |
| mohamed_ | thx, joaopinto | 14:42 |
| Vedalken | Simplexio: i had windows installed first so would that mean grub wasn't installed by Ubuntu or would i have to install Grub? | 14:42 |
| NetTroller | FastZ just been reading forums..this WICD looks great..can't wait to try it...thanks again | 14:43 |
| scunizi | CK-TECH, had the same problem myself.. it has to do with the assistive technology. you might want to go to System/Preferances/Assistive Tech and turn off the option that makes the numeric keypad a cursor. | 14:43 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: ummm..?? | 14:43 |
| cypha | can i please get some help with setting up broadcom? | 14:43 |
| logge | screenlets version from getdeb is 0.1.1, in the repos is 0.0.12 so the getdeb version is newer | 14:43 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: so which one dosent work ubuntu or windows ? | 14:43 |
| cypha | i've really had a lot of trouble withthis | 14:43 |
| Vedalken | Simplexio: Ubuntu | 14:43 |
| cypha | and had various sources of help | 14:43 |
| cypha | but if someone can really just see me through to the end | 14:43 |
| cypha | i'd be ever so grateful | 14:43 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: so you have grub there.. | 14:43 |
| European-African | I was trying out the ubuntu minimal cd, and it had a nice menu after the base install. it gave options such as gnome-destop, kubuntu-kde4, openSSH, samba server, etc... Could the ubuntu team give this same capabilities, but instead of getting it of the net get it of a dvd? | 14:43 |
| European-African | or is there already a dvd that does this? | 14:44 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: ... actually. when grub start you select rescue mode kernel | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | European-African, all of those options can be performed with a single command | 14:44 |
| Cromag | m1r: http://peecee.dk/upload/view/115207 | 14:44 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: that should work too | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | regardless of the install medi you use | 14:45 |
| Cromag | m1r: on the right there should be a terminal window with irssi hehe | 14:45 |
| Vedalken | Simplexio: I only get the default (aka windows) boot module. I haven't noticed grub. | 14:45 |
| European-African | joaopinto: yes but it still gets it from the net! | 14:45 |
| m1r | Cromag: 1 min | 14:45 |
| joaopinto | European-African, if you get a cd/dvd, no, it does not, it will only get it form the net if it's an update | 14:46 |
| joaopinto | or, if the package is not available from it | 14:46 |
| jmh7080 | I'm starting to learn how to build packages, and I was wondering if there's a streamlined method for determining dependencies if I'm downloading source that's not in the repos? | 14:46 |

| fabian_ | what is the hardy-proposed-repository? | 14:46 |
| Flynsarmy | I went to file - wizards - install new dictionaries in open office and english then 'start DicOOo' but the window isn't large enought o see all the text and its not resizable. Any ideas? | 14:46 |
| joaopinto | jmh7080, most of the time configure provides a good hint on the required dev package | 14:46 |
| European-African | joaopinto: how can I make a dvd that has all the packages, and I can install from? | 14:47 |
| joaopinto | fabian_, it's a repository where upgrades are uploaded before beeing available on the master repository | 14:47 |
| m1r | Cromag: think u should read a bit on xinerama and twinview options, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 | 14:47 |
| joaopinto | !dvd | 14:47 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 14:47 |
| Cromag | m1r: thanks. | 14:47 |
| joaopinto | erm, European-African http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ | 14:47 |
| fabian_ | joaopinto: not yet tested updates | 14:47 |
| fabian_ | ? | 14:47 |
| jmh7080 | joaopinto: is there a way to run through configure to see all unmet dependencies without it breaking every time it encounters an unmet dependency? | 14:48 |
| joaopinto | fabian_, yes, | 14:48 |
| m1r | Cromag: np , gl, i recomend twinview for nvidia as its most easy to setup imo | 14:48 |
| db92 | my thumb buttons and wheel work in firefox but not while using file explorer. how to fix? | 14:48 |
| joaopinto | European-African, the DVD does not contain ALL the packages, since they take a lot more space | 14:48 |
| fabian_ | joaopinto: is it safe to add it to the sources? | 14:48 |
| W4RL0CK | guys having problem with mounting my iso file, any ideas what I might do wrong? | 14:48 |
| mackyman | Hey everyone! I'm haveing problems with my wired ethernet connection wich dies after about some hours of use. Someone have any ideas of solotion? | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jmh7080 like this To Find Dependencies apt-cache depends <DEB program package>. | 14:49 |
| European-African | joaopinto: then what does it contain? | 14:49 |
| Cromag | m1r: i setup xinerama and works great, and is i want it - so i believe i should read a bit :) - Thanks :) | 14:49 |
| joaopinto | jmh7080, usually the source comes with a README/INSTALL text file which lists the required libraries | 14:49 |
| European-African | joaopinto: the general packages? | 14:49 |
| joaopinto | European-African, it contains the most common set of packages | 14:49 |
| umbrualbert | When I connect to a windows, they keep on dissappearing | 14:49 |

When I enter a CD-R to burn the 3.53 GB file, both burning applications return an error informing me that the CD-R does not have the capacity to hold the image. When I insert a DVD-R, I receive an error message telling me I cannot use a DVD-R, and that a CD-R must be used. And I | 14:53 |

| Vlet | !helpme | haris | 14:55 |
| ubottu | haris: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 14:55 |
| European-African | I see that hardy has firefox 3 preinstalled. Does it have all the addons that 2 has? | 14:55 |
| bstock | hopefully, nvidia has best support for ubuntu. but yeah i have full 3d accel | 14:55 |
| joaopinto | ynef, just edit your /etc/mysql.cnf | 14:55 |
| Vedalken | Simplexio: so when i load from the cd do i just boot up in it or do i do the install from there? | 14:55 |
| PPKuma | bazhang: im going to try it and will come back to you | 14:55 |
| gordonjcp | haris: pastebin the error message | 14:55 |
| joaopinto | i mean, ynyus77 | 14:55 |
| PPKuma | bazhang: thanks | 14:55 |
| simplexio | Vedalken: if you have something importand stuff in windows partition i dont recommend it then | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iRelinquish That can be dangerous... | 14:55 |
| ynyus77 | ok | 14:56 |

| ubottu | Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code | 15:29 |

| Lichte | hi people | 15:29 |
| bazhang | artagnon, debian? though you were on ubuntu :0 | 15:29 |
| panglima | hi too | 15:30 |
| artagnon | bazhang: I have another system which has Debian and the compile broke on it | 15:30 |
| bazhang | artagnon, you can wait a bit; or you can look for the pre-compiled deb | 15:30 |
| Lichte | is there any way to keep gtkmm package from pulling in gcc 3 ? | 15:31 |
| artagnon | bazhang: (or try to compile it again and spend some time trying to figure out what went wrong) :P | 15:31 |
| artagnon | bazhang: do you know of a deb that works? | 15:31 |
| bazhang | artagnon, I left out that option for just such a reason :) | 15:31 |
| michael_ | Quick question, how do you 'reset X'? (i believe that's the correct terminology) - basically i need the Ubuntu equivalent to ending Explorer.exe in Windows (reset system without reseting hardware) | 15:32 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] Is there an alternative to call the Control Center instead of running 'gnome-control-center'? | 15:33 |
| artagnon | bullgard4: use the gui? | 15:33 |
| artagnon | or ask your shell to alias gnome-control-center? | 15:33 |
| Callipyginous | How do i edit the sudoers file in gedit without it being 'read only' | 15:33 |
| bullgard4 | artagnon: Do you have an answer? | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | michael_ <ubottu> To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Callipyginous gksudo gedit | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | michael_ Sorry, that may not be what you want to do | 15:34 |
| Juhaz | don't do it if you don't want to lose all your custom applet and launcher settings | 15:35 |
| michael_ | Jack_Sparrow, haha, no i don't think so :) | 15:35 |
| Dvyjones | What should I do if wlan0 has dissapeared completely? | 15:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | michael_ misread | 15:35 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 15:35 | |
| Juhaz | but closest to equivalent of "killing explorer" would probably be killing gnome-panel and nautilus, killing X does rather more than that. | 15:36 |
| Callipyginous | Jack_Sparrow, the file is still read only, i cannot save changes to it... | 15:36 |
| Dvyjones | And where do I find out what packages is on the CD? | 15:36 |

| ubottu | Vlet: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:51 |

| rrohde_ | bullgard4: you could right-click on the applications menu icon, edit menus, and then check Control Panel under Preferences. Then you should be able to launch it from System > Preferences > Control Panel | 16:52 |
| robin | it hangs | 16:52 |
| hwilde | Vlet, maybe if you go in the advanced options but I doubt it | 16:52 |

| rat | from gutsy and fiesty package | 17:06 |
| Ish_nitti | Flannel: i usually just use sudo apt-get remove [package], but when i reinstall that package it doesnt need to redownload it. does purge remove the cached downloaded package? | 17:06 |
| Flannel | Ish_nitti: no, purge removes the config files | 17:06 |
| Ish_nitti | Flannel: ahh gotcha | 17:06 |
| Ish_nitti | Flannel: good tip :) thanks | 17:07 |
| rat | so how to know which version is for which version of ubuntu | 17:07 |
| Flannel | Ish_nitti: It's the same as "complete removal" in synaptic. I believe it still leaves the deb file in the cache | 17:07 |
| rat | once i damaged my fiesty by installing kopete files for gutsy | 17:07 |

| garrett__ | jwm: or just move your compiz binaries :P | 17:19 |
| Ish_nitti | mod_cure: synaptic package manager | 17:19 |
| Ish_nitti | mod_cure: sort by "installed" | 17:20 |
| cisconet | pl | 17:20 |
| cisconet | ok | 17:20 |
| jwm | garrett__: i actually love just moving or deleting the compiz binaries | 17:20 |
| Pici | mod_cure: or dpkg -L on the cli | 17:20 |
| jwm | garrett__: but where do i find them? | 17:20 |
| cisconet | lol | 17:20 |
| garrett__ | jwm: type "which compiz" | 17:20 |
| jwm | garrett__: ok | 17:20 |
| garrett__ | jwm: /usr/bin/compiz by default on 8.04 | 17:21 |
| jwm | garrett__: i'll work on this on my other machine for a few minutes | 17:21 |
| mod_cure | Pici, how can i view all the packages aviable without going out to the web ? can i view them on OS ? | 17:21 |
| tripps- | anyone had any luck configuring tacacs+ un 8.04? | 17:21 |
| jwm | garrett__: thanks | 17:21 |
| garrett__ | jwm: no problem | 17:21 |
| garrett__ | jwm: or you could probably just remove the compiz package | 17:21 |
| Pici | mod_cure: apt-cache search will search the indexes that you have already downloaded from the repos | 17:21 |
| Ish_nitti | mod_cure: open synaptic package manager and sort by "Installed" | 17:21 |
| cisconet | I have another problem why is it my analog keyboard does not work and my usb keyboard works on ubuntu? | 17:21 |
| Makuseru | how can i convert a .bin to a .iso, or just mount a .bin file? | 17:21 |
| Webu | I've noticed one of my processes has suddenly disappeard, is there any log avaible to see the reason why it stopped? | 17:22 |
| garrett__ | jwm: and check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. you might be able to figure out why X is black. | 17:22 |
| compy | anyone know of a cgywin that works on macs? | 17:22 |
| Ish_nitti | cisconet: was the PS2 keyboard plugged in when you booted up? | 17:22 |
| cisconet | yep | 17:22 |
| Ish_nitti | cisconet: then it should work fine | 17:22 |
| garrett__ | Webu: it depends on the binary and if it was getting logged. | 17:22 |
| Pici | compy: Try asking in ##mac #ubuntu is for Ubuntu Linux support only. | 17:22 |
| garrett__ | Webu: might want to check /var/log/messages | 17:22 |
| cisconet | it works on the other stuff like settings | 17:22 |
| Webu | garrett__, okey, thanks, i'll check it out. | 17:22 |
| mod_cure | Pici, apt-update installed the index on the system and then apt-cache search will pull up those indexes ? | 17:22 |

| MrObvious | Makuseru: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=bin+to+iso+linux&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f Seriously this search will probably have your answer. :) | 17:23 |
| Pici | mod_cure: Well, basically ;) | 17:23 |
| mod_cure | Pici, when using dig command, what file does it use to find the name servers ? | 17:23 |
| cisconet | but when I boot to ubuntu the num lock , cap locks , scroll lock begain to blink | 17:23 |
| Ish_nitti | Gordon_Frohman3: whats the issue? | 17:23 |
| hwilde | mod_cure, /etc/resolv.conf has the dns servers, is that what u mean | 17:23 |
| unimatrix9 | after the last updates on 8.04 i get errors on shutdown, how can i backtrace the cause? | 17:23 |
| garrett__ | weub: but for the most part, if a parent process starts a child process, and the parent process closes, the child process closes, too. | 17:23 |
| mod_cure | hwilde, thanks | 17:23 |
| jwm | garrett__: removing the package is smart | 17:23 |
| Pici | mod_cure: /etc/resolv.conf , which is populated from whatever your dhcp server gives you and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 17:23 |
| Gordon_Frohman3 | well when i boot to ubuntu (dual boot with vista) my wirless card doesnt show up on the connection thing | 17:24 |
| jwm | can i run a package manager in the console? | 17:24 |
| mod_cure | thanks | 17:24 |
| hwilde | unimatrix9, sounds like an acpi issue | 17:24 |
| crodd1 | jwm, aptitude, apt-get, or dselect | 17:24 |
| garrett__ | Webu: also, most processes will close when their controlling terminal goes away (i.e: close the xterm) | 17:24 |
| unimatrix9 | hwilde , why? | 17:24 |
| Ish_nitti | Gordon_Frohman3: you may need to use ndiswrapper with a windows driver to get it working | 17:24 |
| vipaca | How does IRC work in pidgin | 17:24 |
| crodd1 | vipaca: poorly | 17:24 |

| Pici | crodd1: Get out of my brain ;) | 17:24 |
| kambing | hallo | 17:24 |
| garrett__ | jwm: yeah. i didn't know if you were trying to diagnose why it was breaking X or if you just wanted to get rid of it all together, hence why i didn't suggest it first | 17:24 |

| xorand | I recently did an install and changed the monitor afterward to Samsung 749bf. This was a disaster. I edited the monitor config to get a slightly better display. only after I re-installed ubuntu 8 and re-edited the file did it work. Is there a way to clear a device and re-install it without re-installing ubuntu? | 17:51 |
| xorand | *samsung 740bf | 17:52 |
| zvacet | sss : in recovery mode you are superuser | 17:52 |
| Ginetteann | bazhang, let me clarify. you want me to comment out the very first line? And then remove every other # from the rest of the sources.list file? | 17:52 |
| bazhang | Ginetteann, not familiar with ps3; is there a gui for that? | 17:52 |
| Pici | sss: remove the recovery mode option from your grub menu if you dont want it to show up | 17:52 |
| soundray | bullgard4: not a command at all. Nautilus evaluates the content of $HOME/.recently-used.xbel | 17:52 |
| kitche | sss: I believe you have to edit the grub menu and remove recovery since that auto logs you in as root with no password | 17:52 |
| Ginetteann | bazhang, the PS3 has its own OS, the XMB. That has a GUI. And Ubuntu running on a PS3 also has a GUI. | 17:53 |
| sss | zvacet: but i want that it ask for root pass | 17:53 |
| Ikonz | for some reason since i booted ubuntu today i have no more bar at the top of any windows anymore with the - [] X signs and that lets you move the window around and stuff. how do i get it back? | 17:53 |
| malifal | hello, i just got the new Ubuntu 8.04 i386 CD by mail, and the site says to upgrade from the CD run cdromupgrade file, but i can't find that file anywhere, it's not on the cd. | 17:54 |
| bazhang | Ginetteann, okay well then you can go into software sources and check the appropriate repos (minux backports most likely) and uncheck cd then refresh and try again to install | 17:54 |
| bazhang | Ginetteann, there is also a #ubuntu-ps3 channel, though there are only about 8 people in it :) | 17:54 |
| Ginetteann | Woah, your talking way out of my depth here. Im new to Linux, like most. | 17:54 |
| soundray | sss: you could set a root password, but that would reduce Ubuntu's security. | 17:54 |
| Ginetteann | I need it as plain and simple as you can make it. | 17:54 |
| BoyBlunder | has anyone been able to remove mail-transport-agent and install postfix successfully? I am getting errors when trying to do it. | 17:55 |
| matrix | anyone use rkhunter | 17:55 |
| bazhang | Ginetteann, okay, this is a standard ubuntu gui though right? | 17:55 |
| X-Seti | 10 people. i noticed and joined | 17:55 |
| sss | kitche: it is one option but i want that it ask for pass | 17:55 |
| ikonia | Ginetteann: are you aware that the PS3 runs pretty much the PPC distro version of ubuntu | 17:55 |
| Ginetteann | Yeah | 17:55 |
| Ginetteann | Im not sure | 17:55 |
| sss | i there any way to do this | 17:55 |
| ikonia | Ginetteann: super, so as long as you keep away from direct hardware access, the PPC rules should be the same as the PS3 | 17:56 |
| bazhang | Ginetteann, so go to system-->administartion-->software sources and set that up there | 17:56 |
| soundray | sss: it might be better to use grub's password feature | 17:56 |
| LhiQuer | i still cba to update to 8.10 | 17:56 |
| Ikonz | somebody plz tell me what the problem is, this sucks | 17:56 |
| Ikonz | for some reason since i booted ubuntu today i have no more bar at the top of any windows anymore with the - [] X signs and that lets you move the window around and stuff. how do i get it back? | 17:56 |
| X-Seti | things might get better for the ps3, as soon as the GPU ram is hacked | 17:56 |
| ikonia | LhiQuer: 8.10 does not exist yet | 17:56 |
| Ginetteann | ikonia, all I know is that install software packages via sudo apt-get install. | 17:56 |
| Ginetteann | The cannot be found, even though they exist. | 17:56 |
| Ginetteann | I cannot install* | 17:56 |
| ikonia | Ginetteann: ok, starting at the begining is a great way to start | 17:56 |

| ikonia | Ginetteann: what packages are you trying to install | 17:56 |
| ikonia | malifal: what's the problem ? | 17:56 |
| bazhang | malifal, what do you need? | 17:57 |
| malifal | hello, i just got the new Ubuntu 8.04 i386 CD by mail, and the site says to upgrade from the CD run cdromupgrade file, but i can't find that file anywhere, it's not on the cd. | 17:57 |

| X-Seti | Ikonia the ps3 version is unable to update from 7.10 to 8.04, packages are broken? | 17:57 |
| kitche | sss: like I said remove the recovery option from grub you just want the single user mode | 17:58 |

| LhiQuer | so to upgrade to 8.04 via cd, i need the alternate? | 17:58 |
| bazhang | LhiQuer, yes | 17:58 |
| ikonia | Ginetteann: so what happens if you do "sudo apt-get install xchat" | 17:58 |
| malifal | soundray: what do you suggest me doing in order to do an upgrade without having to download 800MB? | 17:58 |

| ikonia | X-Seti: yes, it's a community release so not all packages are up to date/manucally verified, only the auto build | 17:59 |
| Ginetteann | E: Couldnt find package * | 17:59 |
| soundray | bullgard4: you know that that's rude, asking a question then turning your back on the channel | 17:59 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: I gave you the system admin guide for gnome | 17:59 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it should be in that guide | 17:59 |
| Ginetteann | ikonia, | 17:59 |
| ikonia | Ginetteann: and does apt-cache search xchat show any results ? | 17:59 |
| thechef | I have a font file, but it only starts a viewer, when I click on it. An install/add button is missing. | 17:59 |
| bazhang | Ginetteann, you need to follow the path I laid out above | 17:59 |
| soundray | malifal: I'm sorry, there isn't really an alternative | 17:59 |
| X-Seti | Ikonia oh and the ps3/8.04 version doesnt install for me? | 17:59 |

| DefineByte | calipso: xset dpms force off | 18:07 |
| jrib | calipso: /etc/acpi/screenblank.sh works for me | 18:07 |
| jwm | soundray: i'm in a failsafe console session on the machine that's affected. i've run gconf-editor and think i'm close to fixing | 18:07 |
| defdef | pen_: Ok I'll give it another try, thanks for your input! | 18:08 |
| kitche | European-African: it's a terminal or console application | 18:08 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: well, essentially it says that it's ignoring your CD-ROM as a package source. | 18:08 |
| Samuusi | zvacet: i see only few buttons where i can enable java etc. ;D nothing about real languages | 18:08 |
| calipso | DefineByte, cheers thanks | 18:08 |
| pen_ | defdef, np | 18:08 |
| jwm | soundray: but all the advice to work from within the regular desktop is not usable to me | 18:08 |
| calipso | jrib, cool | 18:08 |
| kitche | European-African: it's the new xmms pretty much still needs work really | 18:08 |
| Ginetteann | And that means? Well, nothing? | 18:08 |
| darkboy | how can i download lunix program? | 18:08 |

| pen_ | padsp doesn't work on audacity, how to solve this? | 18:08 |
| soundray | jwm: run gnome-appearance-properties instead | 18:08 |
| nabcore | ikonia; I'm just going to remove it. I've been using linux in various forms since 1997 and this has perhaps been one of the most stupid and annoying "features" I've ever seen | 18:08 |
| European-African | kitche: ok, so I should just install xmms? | 18:08 |
| BoyBlunder | ikonia: this is the result of my dpkg -l | grep exim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13696/ | 18:08 |
| jwm | soundray from the console? | 18:08 |
| jrib | defdef: that's a question better suited for the #ubuntu-offtopic channel | 18:08 |
| Ginetteann | soundray, I am glad there are people like you about the place. | 18:09 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: can you open System-Administration-Software Sources ? | 18:09 |
| zvacet | Samuusi : bottom of the page and which verdion do you use | 18:09 |
| pen_ | darkboy, what program? | 18:09 |
| kitche | European-African: well audacious if you want something that is like xmms that is gui | 18:09 |
| soundray | jwm: from failsafe mode | 18:09 |
| nabcore | soundray; that's worked great. Thank you | 18:09 |
| soundray | nabcore: pleasure | 18:09 |
| xorand | "pre-up iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner username -j DROP" - Do I leave "owner" as is or must i substitute with root or someone? | 18:09 |
| Vedalken | Ikonia: i have an 8400GS Video, ECS GeForce 6100PM-M, 2GB Dual Channel AENEON DDR2-800 RAM, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ processor. Is there anything else you would need to know? | 18:09 |
| === brappin7 is now known as Euro-Donkey | ||
| Samuusi | zvacet: 2.0.0.14 and it says there isn't updates available | 18:09 |
| darkboy | kodck | 18:09 |
| European-African | kitche: why audacious? xmms has a gui! | 18:09 |
| Ginetteann | soundray, how would I go about doing that? | 18:10 |
| Pici | xorand: I suggest asking if #iptables if you are not getting any answers here. | 18:10 |
| Ginetteann | Oh right. | 18:10 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: are you logged into gnome? | 18:10 |
| Ginetteann | soundray, hold on. | 18:10 |
| Rixon- | European-African: it's skinnable too | 18:10 |
| Rixon- | =) | 18:10 |
| pen_ | darkboy, do you want to install it or just the deb? | 18:10 |
| jwm | soundray: that "can't be found" | 18:10 |
| xorand | Pici, thanks, I never knew such a group existed :) | 18:10 |
| jwm | soundray: i'm in feisty 7.04 btw | 18:10 |
| zvacet | Samuusi: never mind I asked because I don´t use it but in Hardy is 3 beta and there I was looking | 18:10 |
| Ginetteann | soundray, yeah I am in. | 18:11 |
| European-African | Rixon-: doesn't xmms have its own gui? | 18:11 |
| soundray | jwm: I see | 18:11 |
| jwm | soundray: this has had my machine useless for a week | 18:11 |
| Samuusi | zvacet: okay | 18:11 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: enable all the Ubuntu sources (first tab) except Source codr | 18:11 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: enable all the Ubuntu sources (first tab) except Source code | 18:11 |
| pen_ | European-African, you want xmms? | 18:11 |
| kitche | European-African: ubuntu does not have xmms in it's repos anymore and audacious is just a xmms fork pretty much same thing as xmms just gtk2 | 18:11 |
| soundray | jwm: are you using Xgl? | 18:12 |
| Ginetteann | soundray, and then close the window? | 18:12 |
| Krissam | can it be true that a 1400 celeron mobile with 256 megabytes of ram cant run ubuntu? i've tried both selecting install and running it directly from the cd, but it doesnt seem like it wants to boot, if i try to install it, it just shows the desktop background and a x for the mousepointer for a while untill the monitor turns off, if i try to boot from the cd, i get a "skincolor" background with a white square in the upper right corner. | 18:12 |
| zvacet | Samuusi :you are Scandinavian and you don´t use Opera? | 18:12 |
| European-African | kitche: oooh | 18:12 |
| Samuusi | zvacet: im finnish and yup i dont ;) | 18:12 |
| jwm | soundray: how can i tell that? | 18:12 |
| theFATMAN | hello all, i have a question, how do i remove a program if it is not listed in the add/remove applet and is not seen by the terminal with 'sudo apt-get remove <pckge name>? | 18:12 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: yes, and allow it to update if it wants to. Oh, and perhaps disable the CD-ROM as a source | 18:12 |
| pen_ | KrimZon, alternative install | 18:12 |
| zvacet | Samuusi : just a joke :) | 18:13 |
| Euro-Donkey | Krissam what do you mean celeron mobile? have u tried the alternate install ? | 18:13 |
| soundray | jwm: let's try: do a 'touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable' and restart gdm | 18:13 |
| European-African | kitche: so I can just install audacious and it will use the xmms addons? | 18:13 |
| Ginetteann | soundray, it wants to update. Both the box I am using now and the PS3 both share a wired connection so to update I will have to D/C. | 18:13 |
| freefull | What do I do if I have accidentally killed the Ubuntu upgrade halfway through configuring packages? | 18:13 |

| BuFF | Krissam: use a text mode install | 18:13 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: I see. I'm about to log off, but it sounds like you're on the path to victory | 18:13 |
| Pici | freefull: It may be a lost cause though. | 18:14 |
| KrimZon | huhwhat? oh... | 18:14 |
| Ginetteann | You think so? Right okay, thanks. Do you think that will solve my problem at all? | 18:14 |
| freefull | Uh, I started apt-get upgrade already and it's working on it... | 18:14 |
| Krissam | Euro-Donkey: 1400MHz Intel Celeron Mobile CPU. Alternate install? | 18:14 |

| Pici | !best | European-African | 18:15 |
| ubottu | European-African: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:15 |
| soundray | Ginetteann: I do indeed. If not, come back and ask again (do bring some patience please) | 18:15 |

| jair0 | hi, I want to deinstall gnash from firefox and use macromedia flash again... | 18:18 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Vedalken not to boot.. the first menu should be up in seconds | 18:24 |
| pen_ | European-African, well, everyone says it's like winamp in windows, so i think it's not bad | 18:24 |
| prower | I wish I could get sound in jackd without it being choppy :> Or a better sound card than onboard Intel HDA, which I figured would be decent :< Microphone isn't even supported for my chipset currently | 18:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !tab | Vedalken | 18:24 |
| ubottu | Vedalken: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 18:24 |
| boyanez | booted, and installed 8.04, everything works perfect, except for the boot time (around 7-8 minutes). it also hangs on the "creating ext3 fs" during installation. i am guessing some kind of hard disk incompatibility. any ideas how to fix the problem? | 18:24 |
| henry_ | hello guys | 18:24 |
| somedude | is ubuntu better than debian | 18:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hi Henry | 18:24 |
| European-African | pen_: and rhythmbox, is it good? | 18:24 |
| Vedalken | Jack_sparrow: well when it gets to the Ubuntu logo screen it just locks up... i have no idea why though | 18:24 |
| henry_ | hi jack | 18:24 |
| Rixon- | nothing, i'm clicking my run command applet on my panel, and typing in alsami- it auto-fills in 'xer' so it knows it's there, but when i click run the box dissapears and then alasamixer doesnt launch | 18:24 |
| chris_ | !best | somedude | 18:24 |
| ubottu | somedude: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:24 |
| pen_ | European-African, it's good for average use. It has all the essential thing I want | 18:24 |
| henry_ | ubuntu is very good | 18:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vedalken At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 18:24 |
| mangan88 | s/join #ubuntu-bots | 18:25 |
| theFATMAN | zvacet: it is in usr/share/app-install | 18:25 |
| pen_ | European-African, you have to try them to compare | 18:25 |
| European-African | henry_: yes I know | 18:25 |
| Rixon- | European-African: i use rhythmbox, it's about as good as wmp | 18:25 |
| Strick^9 | Rixon-: try it in a term window | 18:25 |
| mohbana | how do i get the kde icon theme set in ubuntu, fedora eem to have it available under gnome | 18:25 |
| henry_ | but have the problem | 18:25 |
| European-African | pen_: no, not yet | 18:25 |
| kora | Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/4148 | 18:25 |
| * delcoyote hi | 18:25 | |
| European-African | Rixon-: does it look like wmp? | 18:25 |

| ep103 | Hey ya'll. In windows, when I wanted to access my router configuration page, I would type ipconfig into cmd, and then paste the ip into firefox. In linux I've put ifconfig into the terminal, but though I can ping the router, pasting the ip into firefox doesn't do anything. Am I missing something? Linksys router, firefox 2, ubuntu heron | 18:26 |
| pen_ | European-African, it is preinstalled and it's integrated well with pulseaudio, no hussle | 18:26 |
| boyanez | erUSUL, will do and return to ask about solution, thanks | 18:27 |
| pen_ | theFATMAN, what problems did you encounter? | 18:27 |
| European-African | pen_: it is preinstalled? | 18:27 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Jav13r_ please supply a description when posting a link ... Someone (else) will answer | 18:45 |
| rakesh | u mean burning effect on screen i know that | 18:45 |
| rakesh | but i have seen in one video | 18:45 |
| pen_ | rakesh, which one | 18:45 |
| chris_ | bobboy: well, frankly, if someone really would want to hack a box, they would tamper with the box so that chkrootkit will not detect it, soo... just install the distro updates regularly and you should be fine | 18:45 |
| lun4tic | does anyone know why GDM doesn't show a userlist, no matter what theme i use | 18:45 |
| Jav13r_ | Jack_Sparrow: i have instlled OTR for pidgin. and while installing OTR i've been told to install libtor 3.1.0 or higher. and now look what strange error i get. it tells me its incompatibile wtf | 18:45 |
| lun4tic | on my laptop it works perfectly | 18:45 |
| rakesh | in which when i closes any window it dissapears with burning | 18:45 |

| lun4tic | but on my main pc (64bit hardy) it won't show | 18:46 |
| rakesh | ok i have opened animation oen | 18:46 |
| pen_ | rakesh, just edit the first line in the close tab | 18:46 |
| lun4tic | pen_: i have a theme that has userlist enabled | 18:46 |
| bobboy | chris_ so someone can hack my box bad enough so that even the tools designed to check for such hacks wont detect it? OUCH lol | 18:46 |
| pen_ | rakesh, put animation to burning | 18:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | rakesh did you install ccsm | 18:47 |
| pen_ | lun4tic, did you choose theme with face? | 18:47 |
| chris_ | bobboy: true, thats the problem on windows too. and the reason why all those "protection programs and scanners" never give 100% protection | 18:47 |
| lun4tic | and the laptop was gutsy and has also been updated to hardy LTS | 18:47 |
| rakesh | no i dono abou tht one how can i installl thet thing | 18:47 |

| erUSUL | boyanez: something seems flacky with the sata set up. maybe a loose cable (power or sata) or a driver bug cousing spurious errors .... maybe you can change the sata port of the disk and see if it makes a difference | 18:48 |
| bobboy | chris_ any names come to mind? | 18:48 |
| pen_ | lun4tic, do you have chosen a picture for your account? | 18:48 |

| treyh0 | I don't understand why bug #190848 (blurry fonts in the gnome terminal) has not been fixed, why the importance is low and undecided. Don't the Ubuntu developers use a terminal to do their work? Also, this used to work fine until Hardy was released. Why did they break the fonts for the gnome terminal? | 18:48 |

| chris007 | i have just installed 8.04 server on my HP workstation, and it has renamed the c: and d: drives, and i can not boot into anything. I had wanted to use the boot loader for a dual boot, but I get the missing HAL.DLL error and nothing happens. Any suggestions? | 18:49 |
| rakesh | i can find everything | 18:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | treyh0 Please dont use the rude shorthand | 18:49 |

| lun4tic | i even set a "real name" for the user just in case that could solve the issue | 18:49 |
| treyh0 | Jack_Sparrow: your last movie tanked | 18:49 |
| boyanez | erUSUL: it's a stupid Inspiron 1501 laptop, and i tried almost everything that i found on the internet (adding pci=nomsi parameter, hda=noprobe) and all kind of crazy stuff, meaning i'm desperate | 18:49 |

| KaRiNkA^^ | hi | 18:50 |
| Frost_ | Hello. I'm looking for a package building tutorial. Anybody knows where I can find one? | 18:50 |
| chris007 | yes | 18:50 |
| KaRiNkA^^ | is anybody here? | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !packaging | 18:50 |

| Frost_ | Thanks, Jack_Sparrow | 18:50 |
| rakesh | what to dooo | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 18:50 |
| lun4tic | i think it could be a 64-bit problem only | 18:50 |
| pen_ | lun4tic, did you say it doesn't choose the face theme? | 18:50 |
| rakesh | it giving a error | 18:50 |
| stefg | treyh0: a new xorg version is used, and they still try to optimize font hinting to get around that BCI patent of Apple... so why not just install the 'Terminus' fonts, and use them without hinting (that's what they are meant for)? | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rakesh Did you..? sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:50 |
| amrik | chris007: what does sudo update-grub do for you | 18:50 |
| bobboy | can anyone recomend a live cd for damage control such as testing a compromised system for rootkits? | 18:51 |
| chris007 | i cant run anything. | 18:51 |
| BobB | hi, anyone got any idea why my sound becomes distorted (slows down) when I use the trackpad? | 18:51 |
| amrik | bobboy: if a system has been pwned, it will forever be pwned. you should reinstall | 18:51 |
| chris007 | it halts with that error, before i even get the grub part | 18:51 |
| erUSUL | boyanez: well i have no idea what you can do appart of what you just¡'ve done... maybe reporting this as kernel bug ... | 18:51 |
| jjgalvez | can anyone recommend some good software to scan my website for broken links? | 18:51 |
| treyh0 | stefg: didn't know about terminus, i will check it out, thanks! -- so they were ignoring patents with the previous versions of ubuntu? is that why it used to work? | 18:51 |
| KaRiNkA^^ | someone knows jacekowski????????????? important :P | 18:51 |

| rakesh | ya i have got that thing | 18:52 |
| amrik | chris007: what about getting to the grub prompt | 18:52 |
| rakesh | its awesome | 18:52 |
| bobboy | amrik: so if i was to get into system security and my network got owned i would reinstall my os if my system got pwned? | 18:52 |
| linduxed | what config file determines if compiz will be loaded on start? | 18:52 |
| gordonjcp | evanderv: does your network seem to work? | 18:52 |
| hwilde | NemesisD, file size is bigger on dvd | 18:52 |
| linduxed | i want to turn it off | 18:52 |
| chris007 | how? | 18:52 |
| rakesh | thans pen and sparrow | 18:52 |

| boyanez | erUSUL: alright, thanks anyway | 18:52 |

| hwilde | KaRiNkA^^, just ask your question | 18:53 |
| evanderv | I also can't see shared printers | 18:53 |
| frinkahedron | mnemo: you can drop the -sameq from the example I gave you since that only applies to video | 18:53 |
| amrik | bobboy: its pretty obvious if you have been rooted you arent going to be able to detect it in most cases if the guy is smart | 18:53 |
| rakesh | i don get u | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | bobboy: if a system has been compromised, it's possible to work out what (if anything) has been changed | 18:53 |
| European-African | I can't get the resolution higher that 1024*768? I installed my nvidia through the restricted drivers. | 18:53 |
| linduxed | what config file determines if compiz will be loaded on start? | 18:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rakesh /join #compiz | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | bobboy: however, it's such a monumental pain in the hole that it's usually just easier to reinstall | 18:53 |
| pen_ | European-African, check your xorg.conf | 18:53 |
| European-Donkey | what the hell | 18:53 |
| hwilde | European-African, nvidia-settings | 18:53 |
| rakesh | i am newbie be clear | 18:53 |
| kitche | linduxed: we already told you how to disable compiz but it's in one of the .xsession files | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | bobboy: what it comes down to is basically how much is your time worth | 18:54 |
| European-African | where is the nvidia settings? | 18:54 |
| Strick^9 | is it difficult to install KDE? | 18:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rakesh type /join #compiz right where you type messages into this channel | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | Strick^9: nope | 18:54 |
| Yo` | hello everyone | 18:54 |
| amrik | chris007: well where exactly in the boot cycle does it halt? do you get to see the grub countdown at least? | 18:54 |
| bobboy | so how would one go about just making sure ones computer is not a zombie | 18:54 |
| rakesh | kkk | 18:54 |
| Xx_[S]cReAmE[R]_ | ...... alguien habla español?.... . | 18:54 |
| European-African | hwilde: where is the nvidia settings? | 18:54 |
| lun4tic | pen_: the theme can be selected but when gdm shows up i have no users to select | 18:54 |
| treyh0 | heh terminus is ugly, man, i have a stack of ubuntu 8.04 cds that I can't in good faith recommend to the people I work with (developers) because of the font issue with the terminal :-/ | 18:54 |
| stefg | treyh0: complex issue, simple answer: Apple holds an unclear patent on a rendering engine that interprets Bytecode... lots of fonts are optimized for that, and until now a lib was used which did some Bytecode interpretation. Font rendering in the current xorg implementation is done differently, so not all 'old' fonts are rendered without artifacts | 18:54 |
| chris007 | nno | 18:54 |
| lun4tic | i gotta type the username | 18:54 |
| Myrtti | !es | Xx_[S]cReAmE[R]_ | 18:54 |
| ubottu | Xx_[S]cReAmE[R]_: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | bobboy: well there are various things like chkrootkit, rkhunter and so on | 18:54 |
| pen_ | lun4tic, is it the same one you choose? | 18:55 |
| Yo` | help welp | 18:55 |
| gordonjcp | bobboy: it's probably worth checking to see if there's any suspicious traffic or open ports | 18:55 |
| chris007 | i get nothing. | 18:55 |
| lun4tic | ? | 18:55 |
| Xx_[S]cReAmE[R]_ | ok thanks | 18:55 |
| European-African | pen_: is there a nicer way to do it? | 18:55 |
| treyh0 | stefg: ah, is that related to why red hat made the liberation fonts? | 18:55 |
| gordonjcp | bobboy: if you can't readily explain what's happening on your network, then you may have a problem | 18:55 |
| pen_ | lun4tic, maybe you accidentally choose random from selected | 18:55 |
| lun4tic | i tried all themes | 18:55 |
| Xx_[S]cReAmE[R]_ | ...... .pt.... . | 18:55 |
| chris007 | and when i run the windoze recovery, i can see that my old c drive is now d and d is now c. | 18:55 |
| lun4tic | so the theme can't be the problem | 18:55 |
| stefg | treyh0: yup... one of many reasons | 18:55 |
| Airwolf | How do I set a program as my default application? I got tired doing " Open with other application.." | 18:55 |
| lun4tic | human list, that blue one (with list) and so on | 18:55 |
| European-African | what exactly does compriz do? | 18:55 |
| pen_ | European-African, yea, maybe try this, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 18:55 |
| lun4tic | none of the default themes shows a userlist | 18:56 |
| cleaton | =) | 18:56 |
| lun4tic | nope | 18:56 |
| amrik | chris007: you can actually change your drive letters back to the way they were. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844 I had to do this when my USB thumb drive got the letter D: somehow. | 18:56 |
| bobboy | gordonjcp: i have a default installation of hardy so no services are listening and an nmap scan says they are closed | 18:56 |

| amrik | chris007: if you want to install GRUB you can use the ubuntu cd | 19:02 |
| amrik | chris007: i'm guessing the windows recovery process overwrote the boot sector that grub gave you, so you can only boot into windows | 19:02 |
| mod_cure | in freebsd I use sockstat(list open sockets). How can I do this in ubuntu ? | 19:02 |
| bokey | mod_cure: man lsof | 19:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bizzeh what do you have in /media for mount points | 19:03 |
| erUSUL | mod_cure: netstat? lsof? | 19:03 |
| bobboy | chris_ ok i didnt know that backups were data only not the system as a whole.. but than it can still be possible for the attacker to have edited the /etc/passwd or shadow which the backup would also reinstall his account ??? | 19:03 |
| Airwolf | amrik: I am not able to find acroread in the given menu. Odd | 19:03 |
| amrik | Airwolf: well, you can just add acroread manually, its not terribly hard I don't think | 19:04 |
| chris007 | amrik: that wont work for me, to change the drive letters. to do it i need to be in windows. i cant boot to anywhere. | 19:04 |
| kitche | mod_cure: well lsof and netstat is not what you want | 19:04 |
| chris_ | bobboy: if you start from scratch you start with fresh new passwd files. | 19:04 |

| bokey | list open sockets is lsof unless it's programmatically. | 19:05 |
| amrik | chris007: OK. then you're first step is to restore some kind of boot sector. You will want to recover your system with an ubuntu cd, and reinstall grub. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-198404.html | 19:05 |
| bobboy | chris_ so if my machine gets owned theres no way to be able restore my system so i have to start from scratch? | 19:05 |
| bokey | or netstat for that matter | 19:05 |
| kitche | mod_cure: but you might want to try netstat -e programname | 19:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bizzeh we talked yesterday about sapces in mount point names | 19:05 |
| biagidp_ | lopin: I'm pretty sure mythtv uses mysql to index all your media and such | 19:05 |

| mohbana | how do i get the kde icon theme set in ubuntu, fedora eem to have it available under gnome | 19:06 |
| chris_ | bobboy: as was already mentioned you can take the status and work backwards to a untampered system. thats very difficult and time consuming. so therefore for being on the safe side one usually just starts from scratch | 19:06 |
| Niwde | good day people | 19:06 |
| bobboy | ecker: i hate totem and it has never worked for me.. vlc works like a charm though ;) | 19:06 |
| amrik | Phantal-: you will need to 're-deploy' I think | 19:06 |
| chris_ | bobboy: status -> status quo | 19:06 |
| bokey | kitche: ok in that case say so :-) he/she said list open sockets so lsof -i is what i gave | 19:06 |

| bobboy | chris_ i guess i never really understood the severity of the pwnage lol | 19:08 |
| amrik | Airwolf: well my personal *opinion* is that acroread is really slow and bloated, and that evince (the default document viewer) works fine. is there some specific reason that you want to use acroread? | 19:08 |
| chris_ | bobboy: thats an imminent problem with computer systems. and that why you can make a living just by administering computer systems. reading log files day and night. if you'r good at it. easy peasy money | 19:08 |

| Ish_nitti | Vedalken: do the headphones have their own volume control? | 20:25 |
| ThreeFinity | Ish_nitti: is there a GUI to the nvidia-settings thing? or do I have to adjust my gamma settings via the console? | 20:26 |
| Vedalken | Ish_nitti: nope | 20:26 |

| pli_hemma | Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu 8.04 to a partition that already has data, without having to format it? I tried the Alternate cd, but it always wants to delete all data | 20:30 |
| Ish_nitti | pli_hemma: it usually gives you an option to partition the drive or use "entire drive" | 20:30 |
| friel | unable to start compiz, when i go to appearances, and click normal or extra, it says the extentsion is not avaible, i've installed compiz fusion, any ideas what i'm doing wrong? | 20:30 |
| atlef | pli_hemma: you need to rezise it | 20:30 |
| Ish_nitti | friel: restricted drivers enabled? | 20:31 |
| crdlb | friel: please join #compiz-fusion | 20:31 |
| pli_hemma | atlef: Should be no need, Debian gives me the option to keep the data, so Ubuntu should be able to do it also | 20:31 |
| friel | ish_nitti: yes, | 20:31 |

| sriramoman | Guys, iptables with the frontends from synaptic is the most no-nonsense firewall. Till i new about this treasure, firewall was kinda mystery/magic for me. | 20:31 |
| pli_hemma | Ish_nitti: Use entire drive, I saw that option, but it sounds to me as if that option will erase all the disk? | 20:31 |
| Ish_nitti | pli_hemma: it will, but im saying thats one of the three options it gives you | 20:31 |
| atlef | pli_hemma: it will | 20:31 |
| Ish_nitti | pli_hemma: you're looking for "partition drive" | 20:32 |
| Ish_nitti | pli_hemma: first or second option, i forget | 20:32 |
| pli_hemma | Ish_nitti: I chose "manual" for partitioning. Maybe I could choose another option,but it seems wrong somehow, but I'll try | 20:32 |
| Ish_nitti | pli_hemma: i let ubuntu take over it, i dont use the manual | 20:32 |
| pli_hemma | Ish_nitti: I see, I just hope it won't erase my data. :-) But I guess it'll give me a warning first | 20:33 |
| Ish_nitti | pli_hemma: very much so | 20:33 |

| JannoTT_ | where and how? :) | 20:58 |

| Flare183 | !tab | Ish_nitti | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Ish_nitti: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:04 |
| Myrtti | Ish_nitti: probably no | 21:04 |
| saerg | jack: quicktime... | 21:04 |

| Flare183 | Myrtti is right.. | 21:05 |
| crawley | hischild: so do i need to unistall and use the wubi folder? | 21:05 |
| Ish_nitti | Myrtti: i mean the trigger, that tells the user common answers, like !skype | Ish_nitti | 21:05 |
| mandrig | Flare183: I have a .so file which is supposed to be a pidgin plugin, but I have no idea where i need to copy it | 21:05 |
| Flare183 | mandrig: .so means that it is already compiled | 21:05 |
| hischild | crawley: the trouble shooting steps are in the link that ubottu gave you. | 21:06 |
| JannoTT_ | Ish_nitti: That fusion thing does not have many options. | 21:06 |
| hischild | mandrig: in /usr/lib/purple-2/ | 21:06 |
| Vedalke2 | Crawley: your best bet would be to uninstall Wubi and then install Ubuntu from Dos. That will give you a better install IMO. | 21:06 |

| bjames | I've downloaded the kernel source using synaptic, copied it a working directory, copied the config file from /boot/config... and run make and it's erroring | 21:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sorry, but if you have problems compiling the kernel, you probably shouldn't be writing kernel-level drivers. | 21:24 |
| Flare183 | bbyever: I can't. I only speak English | 21:25 |
| saerg | julle_: search synaptic for quicktime, i there's a gstreamer wrapper for the windows codec | 21:25 |
| saerg | *i think | 21:25 |

| mrkeishii | Boobah: I have Nvidia | 21:27 |
| mrkeishii | I installed the video driver | 21:27 |
| delire_ | ripps: you'll need to checkout the code and compile it (in almost all cases) | 21:27 |
| saerg | Mr_Bad_News: wmtime is an ubuntu package, no need to install it manually | 21:27 |
| Flare183 | ripps: look at this: http://tinyurl.com/3zh9kl | 21:27 |

| killaz | Ish_nitti: heh so difficult to upgrade the partimage to the newest version.. | 21:28 |
| Mr_Bad_News | thats just an example saerg i have like 30 that arent packages so i need to know | 21:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | DWM reminds me a little of ratpoison | 21:28 |
| Jorge_Kolesne | Flare183, languague of ingles, not portuguese | 21:28 |
| Flare183 | sorry Jorge_Kolesne | 21:28 |
| delire_ | Daisuke_Ido: i've never used it, but enjoy DWM very much and have done for a couple of years now. | 21:28 |
| saerg | Mr_Bad_News: are they binaries, source code, or what? | 21:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i don't think i could get past the tiled aspect, personally | 21:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's a great concept, but not for me, i'm afraid :) | 21:29 |
| Mr_Bad_News | .dll saerg | 21:29 |
| JannoTT | Ish_nitti: Rofl. U need compiz config to use settings thingy and its not included in clean install of ubuntu. | 21:29 |
| Metatron | anyone use icewm or know about it? | 21:29 |
| delire_ | Daisuke_Ido: with the exception of browsing, 3d modeling and image editing, i work entirely in the shell, so it suits me well. | 21:30 |
| bjames | Boohbah: http://pastebin.com/d1c735397 | 21:30 |
| saerg | Mr_Bad_News: dlls are only for windows, maybe they are for bb4win? | 21:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | delire_: a couple more years and i might make it to that level of comfort with the shell | 21:31 |
| ripps | delire: I download pulseaudio from trunk, but I can't figure out how to compile it. | 21:31 |
| Boohbah | bjames: you are missing header files, please read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 21:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i can do some things, some worry me still :) | 21:31 |
| JannoTT | how can i add desktops to gnome? Defaults 2 but i want 4 | 21:31 |
| shawn___ | How do I configure my mouse? | 21:31 |
| fbc | do you have to run the maintenance scripts manually? are they on a schedule? | 21:32 |
| Mr_Bad_News | damn you're right | 21:32 |
| Boohbah | bjames: sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot build-essential | 21:32 |
| delire_ | Daisuke_Ido: no doubt.. it will happen eventually. | 21:32 |
| Boohbah | fbc: cat /etc/crontab | 21:32 |
| dimedo | does anyone know how to setup application menu items with self created .deb packages? | 21:32 |
| saerg | Mr_Bad_News: i don't see wmtime for bb4win though | 21:32 |
| JannoTT | how you can add workspaces? | 21:32 |
| bjames | Boohbah: doing it now... | 21:32 |
| Flare183 | JannoTT: go on ccsm | 21:32 |
| delire_ | Daisuke_Ido: some things like cleaning up/managing mediafiles i still do in a graphical file browser. most other filesystem related actions are faster in the shell in my case. | 21:33 |
| djfm | hi | 21:33 |
| fbc | Boohbah, thanks, I guess that answers my question. | 21:33 |
| anabolix | can i connect to myself through ssh? just to test and see how works? | 21:33 |
| delire_ | each to their own. | 21:33 |
| saerg | JannoTT: rightclick on the desktop switcher | 21:33 |
| dimedo | JannoTT: you should be able to simply rightlick on the workspaces menu item (default: lower right) and select preferences | 21:33 |
| djfm | yes you can anabolix | 21:33 |
| Flare183 | JannoTT: and click on General Settings then click on the Desktop Size TAb | 21:33 |
| Flare183 | Tab* | 21:33 |
| mohamed_ | anabolix: yes, you can try :) | 21:34 |
| delire_ | ripps: look for a README or INSTALL in the top level of the directory labeled 'trunk' | 21:34 |
| anabolix | i keep trying to but it doesnt work | 21:34 |
| saerg | dimedo: oh, it's called workspaces menu in the english version... :P | 21:34 |
| delire_ | ripps: to be honest, i would imagine compiling Pulse Audio to be relatively complex. | 21:34 |
| anabolix | do i have to set up an account on my computer for ssh to access? or do i use my available account? | 21:34 |
| Jorge_Kolesne | Emilio_Eiji, i keep trying to but it doesnt work | 21:34 |
| elfizz | I'm trying to burn a file (4.2GB) to a DVD (4.7GB) but a get an error "test.avi is lager then 4GiB-1 -allow-limited-size was not specified" what do I do? | 21:35 |
| Mr_Bad_News | saerg, i wanna get mine looking something like http://mayhem99.deviantart.com/art/Gentoo-Blackbox-Screener-1900024 | 21:35 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what do i need to do | 21:35 |
| mohamed_ | anabolix: just type ssh uname@yourip | 21:35 |
| ripps | delire: my pulseaudio is slow and glitchy, so I wanted to try out the glitch-free branch in trunk. But it doesn't seem to use any of the standard compiling operations | 21:36 |
| marv[work] | I see on google references to a package named libc6-dbgsym, and also something called ddebs, and I even found ddebs.ubuntu.com. What are ddebs exactly and how do you install them? | 21:36 |
| anabolix | mohamed_: do i have to use internet IP? or LAN IP? | 21:36 |
| Steve-cal | Just a quick question--what is the GUI program in Gnome for searching for files? | 21:36 |
| saerg | Mr_Bad_News: the sysinfo app is gkrellm on the screenshot | 21:36 |
| mohamed_ | anabolix: i think twice will work | 21:36 |
| lobi | hischild: when i try this it change (more big or smal) but it doesn't work in my login window. one more picture of my login window when i click on options http://shrani.si/f/2k/wx/1eE34HfB/dsc00783.jpg | 21:37 |
| delire_ | ripps: i heard Pulse Audio has been quite messy for many in 8.04. is this true? | 21:37 |
| delire_ | ripps: i don't run Ubuntu, though use it often. | 21:37 |
| Jorge_Kolesne | nickserv identify jorge123 | 21:37 |
| Jorge_Kolesne | teste | 21:37 |
| atlef | delire_: yes, and i you use s/pdif, forget it | 21:37 |
| delire_ | atlef: this is a shame. so are many Pulse Audio users unable to view flash content without glitches? | 21:38 |
| atlef | delire_: *if | 21:38 |
| delire_ | i must say there is much about Pulse Audio which looks very forward thinking however. | 21:38 |
| anabolix | mohamed_: whats the difference between inet address and bnet address? | 21:38 |
| atlef | delire_: well my problem is with my spdif | 21:38 |
| saerg | Steve-cal: gnome-search-tool | 21:38 |
| Boohbah | bjames: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/node/1238/pdf | 21:38 |
| ripps | delire: I reverted my entire setup to Alsa, but I like some of the features pulseaudio provides, so I wanted to try 0.9.11 before it was released to see if it fixed it. It uses some new revolutionary new playback model dubbed "glitch-free" | 21:38 |
| killaz | I want to upgrade a certain package (partimage) in an older ubuntu release to the newest version of ubuntu 8.04. I have tried the following: | 21:39 |
| delire_ | i see | 21:39 |
| marv[work] | I do see a libc6-dbg, but it says you need to use ld_preload, so that seems pretty braindead to me. I suspect the dbgsym package would be more useful, but I can't find any information on it. | 21:39 |
| killaz | 1. compile partimage | 21:39 |
| mohamed_ | anabolix: i have no info maybe someone answer you | 21:39 |
| ripps | delire: what does autogen.sh do? | 21:39 |
| killaz | problem with the installed library of libz2 | 21:39 |
| delire_ | anabolix: one is your interface address and the other the network broadcast adress. | 21:39 |
| Steve-cal | saerg: Thanks! | 21:39 |
| killaz | 2. added 8.04 repo to sources.. | 21:39 |
| killaz | problem: upgrade manager crash segmentation fault | 21:40 |
| crawley | vadelke2: i uninstalled and reinstalled tho not in dos.(don't know how)still in busybox startx not found | 21:40 |
| killaz | what else can I do? | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | killaz: Try a different method | 21:40 |
| Steve-cal | I guess gnome-search-tool is not going to work for me--does anyone know a good GUI search tool where I can exclude certain directories from the search? | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | !upgrade > killaz | 21:40 |
| NW2190 | Hi, Does anyone know how to configure azureus (or any other torrent client) to work with What.cd in Ubuntu? | 21:40 |
| Oberon | Hi, just wondering in the iptables firewall if I use -j CLASSIFY in either the INPUT/OUTPUT chains then I need the next rule to have -j ACCEPT/DROP/REJECT? | 21:41 |
| killaz | I'm trying to upgrade now: Going to 7.04 now.. | 21:41 |
| Flare183 | !kerry | Steve-cal | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Steve-cal: Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) | 21:41 |
| mohamed_ | !ipsec > mohamed_ | 21:41 |
| delire_ | Oberon: yes, i think you still need to set an action for that rule. | 21:42 |
| * Flare183 is using his own bot | 21:42 | |
| delire_ | Oberon: i'm not sure with CLASSIFY however. should be easy to find out with a little searching around. | 21:42 |
| stu | Hey jemand da ? | 21:42 |
| Steve-cal | Flare183: I'm not really looking for a file indexer, just a search GUI that will allow me to exclude directories from the search. Any ideas? | 21:43 |
| Oberon | delire_: Okay thanks. Trying to set up some traffic shaping on the rules in iptables | 21:43 |
| delire_ | Oberon: perhaps there's a #iptables, not sure. | 21:43 |
| Oberon | Okay i'll search around and see what I can find | 21:44 |
| Steve-cal | NW2190: Are you behind a router? | 21:44 |
| flankk | I tried converting my grandmother to ubuntu but she's too fucking stubborn to try it. All she does is web browser, e-mail and solitaire. Her PC is a pentium 4 but so full of viruses it takes 2 minutes for IE to load. How do I convince her that ubuntu is a good alternative? | 21:44 |

| SammIndustrie | hi - can anybody help me to get direct rendering working with a VIA card, please? | 21:44 |
| danza | delire_, yes that channel does exists | 21:44 |
| Flare183 | Steve-cal: then try locate (you must use the terminal) | 21:44 |
| zcat[1] | mandrig: somewhere in .gvfs now I believe | 21:44 |
| anabolix | delire: what is an interface address and broadcast address? or what are they used for generally>? | 21:44 |
| saerg | mandrig: .Trash in your home dir | 21:45 |
| Steve-cal | flankk: Maybe run some anti-virus programs on her computer and show her how many viruses she has--that might be convincing. | 21:45 |
| Vedalken | anyone know how to get Adobe Flash Player onto Ubuntu 64-bit version? | 21:45 |
| delire_ | anabolix: interface address is the 4 block number assigned to your network card. it is your numeric 'location' on that network. | 21:45 |
| NW2190 | Steve-cal: Ya, but it seems like it forwarding the correct ports and everything. I can upload normal torrents, just not What.cd ones. | 21:45 |
| flankk | Steve-cal: I've tried showing her... she just doesn't care how many viruses there are. | 21:45 |
| Gin | Vedalken: just install flash via apt-get | 21:45 |
| anabolix | delire_: and the broadcast address? | 21:45 |

| Gin | lovre: I use that software | 21:46 |
| Vedalken | Gin: what is the exact command for it? | 21:46 |
| Steve-cal | NW2190: I don't use what.cd so if the issue is specific to them I can't be of any help--sorry. | 21:46 |
| crawley | if installing ubuntu from cd, how do you do it in dos? | 21:46 |
| Itaku | CAPS ARENT ON BUT CAPS ARE COMING OUT WHY? | 21:46 |
| Gin | Vedalken: I think it is sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree | 21:46 |
| Flare183 | crawley: you don't. | 21:46 |
| NW2190 | Steve-cal: ya, I was just wondering if anyone happened to know, | 21:46 |
| delire_ | anabolix: eg, if your inet is: 192.168.1.201 your bcast range will be Bcast:192.168.1.255 | 21:47 |

| Flare183 | oops sorry | 21:47 |
| Itaku | Flare183: READ MY QUESTION AND IT TELLS WHY IM USING CAPS | 21:47 |
| delire_ | anabolix: broadcast isn't an address, so much as a range. inet is the address. | 21:47 |
| zcat[1] | delire_: not if your netmask is 255.255.0.0 :) | 21:47 |
| flankk | Gin: I was going to "let her be." It's just that ubuntu is such a perfect alternative in this case, and her PC is a nothing but a server for sending out mass spam e-mails. | 21:47 |
| Flare183 | Don't shout! | 21:47 |
| crawley | flare183:i don't understand how to make this work then | 21:47 |

| Flare183 | !livecd > crawley | 21:48 |
| anabolix | delire_: meaning that i have a range of 0-225 node available on the network, speaking in terms of bcast? | 21:48 |
| mandrig | JannoTT: Its called Application Switcher under the Window Management tab. | 21:48 |
| delire_ | anabolix: yep | 21:48 |
| zcat[1] | Itaku: perhaps the shift key is stuck? | 21:48 |
| joaopinto | Itaku, press CAPS again | 21:48 |

| Flare183 | nvm | 21:49 |
| crawley | flare183:is that on the download that i got from ubuntu.com? | 21:49 |
| JannoTT | it isn't 3d its just plain thingy | 21:49 |
| paran | nm-tool don't get a reply from network manager, however as root (sudo nm-tool) it works fine. | 21:49 |

| crawley | flare183: ok then can you tell me how to access that without loading windows? | 21:50 |
| lovre | Gin: i know its not related to ubuntu, but i have no where else to ask. Do you know if it is even possible to use C functions from embedded matlab? | 21:50 |
| delire_ | anabolix: the netmask has some influence on the available range. best to read up on the interaction between bcast and netmask | 21:50 |
| Gin | flankk: break her windows and tell her that the pc is broken and needs to be reinstalled. Take that chance to put Ubuntu on it and tell her it is temporally ;) | 21:50 |
| DrGizmondo | ok why is my ubuntu box showing up in the wrong workgroup | 21:50 |
| mandrig | JannoTT: maybe you're thinking of Ring Switcher | 21:50 |
| Flare183 | crawley: go download the CD ISO | 21:50 |
| SammIndustrie | anybody - direct rendering on VIA? | 21:50 |
| Gin | lovre: honestly I odn't know. I have never tried to use a C function in matlab.. try a matlab forum | 21:51 |

| lovre | Gin: ok, thank you | 21:51 |
| delire_ | anabolix: 192.168 and 10.0 ranges are reserved for LANs. and no.. you can't have an address higher than 255 in the remaining two blocks. | 21:51 |

| cypha | i've had sooo much trouble, you can't imagine | 21:58 |
| Simonft | cypha: hi | 21:58 |
| cypha | or maybe you could | 21:58 |
| mikeyfbi | I have entered it like this: | 21:58 |
| mikeyfbi | /home/mikeyfbi/.toggle1.sh. | 21:58 |
| mikeyfbi | but seems to not work :( | 21:58 |
| delire_ | mikeyfbi: it won't if it's not executable. | 21:58 |
| delire_ | mikeyfbi: try 'sh home/mikeyfbi/.toggle1.sh' | 21:58 |
| flankk | ThreeFinity: yeah but I'd have a hard time convincing her to use it. Even still it's not worth it... it's so full of viruses it takes longer to start outlook than to boot. | 21:58 |
| crdlb | nah, compiz runs everything with /bin/sh :) | 21:58 |
| crdlb | so that's not necessary | 21:58 |
| mikeyfbi | delire_ i have made the .sh executable | 21:58 |
| ThreeFinity | lol | 21:58 |
| delire_ | mikeyfbi: (assuming you're in root. | 21:58 |
| Simonft | flankk: it was this "Gin: well she's been using firefox for a year, so that's a good start. Too bad she uses outlook express, downloads and executes every attachment from spam, etc" | 21:59 |
| mikeyfbi | delire_ lets try that :) | 21:59 |
| Simonft | cypha: which braodcom? | 21:59 |
| cypha | simonft, 4322AG | 21:59 |
| delire_ | mikeyfbi: actually just a 'sh ~/.toggle1.sh' will do | 21:59 |
| Simonft | cypha: is this BCM or B? | 21:59 |
| cypha | but linux said somethign different when i typed lschw bcm43 or something | 21:59 |
| crdlb | mikeyfbi: so the exact same command field works fine if you use another command? | 21:59 |
| delire_ | mikeyfbi: assuming the file is .toggle1.sh and not toggle1.sh | 21:59 |
| cypha | i believe i have the bcm drivers installed | 22:00 |
| cypha | i installed bcm43xx-fwcutter | 22:00 |
| Simonft | cypha: undo everything you have done | 22:00 |
| mikeyfbi | delire_ 'sh ~/.toggle1.sh' works (toggle.sh is for top panel, toggle1 is for bottom) | 22:00 |
| fra | K99Braian: niente da fare | 22:00 |
| cypha | how do i undo running bcm43xx-fwcutter and running it? | 22:00 |
| cypha | it did something to the firmware | 22:00 |
| mikeyfbi | crdlb yes, i just used 'sh ~/toggle1.sh' | 22:00 |
| cypha | i think | 22:00 |
| Simonft | cypha: please put my username first | 22:00 |
| crdlb | mikeyfbi: that works? | 22:01 |
| cypha | ok, sorry | 22:01 |
| flankk | Simonft: she bricked my laptop with spam exploiting the openssl hole sent through outlook running on wine in ubuntu. Totally related. | 22:01 |
| mikeyfbi | crdlb yes...odd | 22:01 |
| crdlb | mikeyfbi: then '~/toggle1.sh' will too | 22:01 |
| Simonft | flankk: ok, sorry | 22:01 |
| cypha | Simonft, i also did m-a prepare && m-a update && m-a a-i bcm43xx | 22:01 |
| askand | Evolution does not check for mails if it is closed, right? | 22:01 |
| crdlb | mikeyfbi: you put an extraneous . in front of toggle1.sh | 22:01 |
| cypha | after getting module assistant | 22:01 |
| mikeyfbi | crdlb oic...let me try | 22:01 |
| delire_ | mikeyfbi: previously you didn't have a leading '/'. that would've meant it didn't work. | 22:01 |
| Simonft | sudo apt-get remove --purge b43-fwcutte; sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 22:02 |

I was told that 'chown -x /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy' would be the right command except that I do not have /etc/rc.d on my computer. what I have under /etc is rc0.d/ rc1.d/ rc2.d/ rc3.d/ rc4.d/ rc5.d/ rc6.d/ rcS.d/. How do I prevent privoxy from automatically starting? Thanks! | 22:10 |
| psych | any thoughts? | 22:10 |
| afallenhope | delire_: well it's because I have a bunch of stuff installed and I don't want started.. like apache, mysql, and openssh | 22:10 |
| delire_ | afallenhope: oh.. yes, if you want to remove something in general. don't rm -f i your /etc/init.d directory though! | 22:10 |

| suspended_an | when the computer is booting up, it says GRUB loading etc, then when it gets past that to actually start the machine up, it just sticks on "starting up". Has anyone got any ideas? | 22:55 |
| Slart | !gksudo | 22:55 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:55 |

| Ish_nitti | crawley: ok, if we cant get to a command line to check things, then its the end of the line for me. i dont know what else to try | 23:05 |
| danza_secondo | maybe 'cos I mispell commands... lucky, not luky! | 23:05 |

| Fishscene | European-African, nope. I always leave the extra effects on when running Compiz | 23:10 |
| Ish_nitti | Y: rm -r | 23:10 |
| killaz | danbhfive: don't want to lose it tough | 23:10 |
| crawley | Ish_nitti: gives me a repeating buffer i/o error on device sda1 | 23:10 |
| s3a | lets u have a very fragmented hd that was used in windows would it defragment itself slowly over time if u use ubuntu with it and u cut and paste and move files around? | 23:10 |
| Fishscene | European-African, as far as I can tell, there isnt' a performance hit- and I'm running it on a laptop with bad 3D accelleration | 23:10 |
| Ish_nitti | crawley: you have defective hardware | 23:10 |
| killaz | danbhfive: can't I repartition? | 23:10 |
| danbhfive | killaz: do you care about your desktop/settings? | 23:10 |
| European-African | Fishscene: ok thanks | 23:10 |
| crawley | Ish_nitti: what do you mean | 23:10 |
| Lucifer_ | d | 23:10 |
| Ish_nitti | crawley: looks like your HD is going down the tubes | 23:10 |
| European-African | Fishscene: and is compiz-fusio the only thing I need install? | 23:11 |
| jrib | s3a: isn't ubuntu on its own partition? | 23:11 |
| DarrenCT | epson network scanning anyone? | 23:11 |
| killaz | danbhfive: nope because I'm actually ding this whole project because I'm moving to a newer laptop | 23:11 |
| Ish_nitti | European-African: Fishscene: it helps to have fusion-icon installed also | 23:11 |
| crawley | Ish_nitti: i am running raid 0. could that be the prob | 23:11 |
| Ish_nitti | crawley: try it | 23:11 |
| European-African | Ish_nitti: what is that? | 23:11 |
| Fishscene | European-African, after installing Compiz-fuzion, you'll want to install ccsm (so you can manage the Compiz effects) | 23:11 |
| Fishscene | ish_nitti, what is fusion-icon? | 23:11 |
| danbhfive | killaz: yeah, repartition is the way to go. I'm think that you should do a fresh install, where you resize those partitions, and instead of mounting the data one as /share, mount it as /home | 23:11 |
| Ish_nitti | crawley: did you get my msg? | 23:11 |
| crawley | Ishnitti: try what | 23:11 |
| Gralco | Y yes, with evolution mail you create your own email address correct? | 23:12 |
| Ish_nitti | Fishscene: fusion-icon is a nice app that helps with compiz | 23:12 |
| European-African | Fishscene: is that the only manager? | 23:12 |
| amenado | crawley-> i dont believe grub supports booting rom raid | 23:12 |
| raz | What would be the best way to play a game remotely on my desktop via my laptop? | 23:12 |
| s3a | jrib: well i dont have a specific problem atm im just asking a theoretical question; would it automatically defragment itself over time since, from my understanding, ubuntu defragments each file after it has been moved or something | 23:12 |
| raz | VMware or something else? | 23:12 |
| killaz | danbhfive: I want to partimage the partition on the new laptop (so I need to upgrade the old-laptop partimage to the version of hoardy (new-laptop)) | 23:12 |
| Ish_nitti | thank you amenado | 23:12 |
| Fishscene | European-African, it's the only one I was aware of until Ish, sayd something | 23:12 |
| mgolisch | raz: game? | 23:12 |
| crawley | Ish_nitti: you want me to go there | 23:12 |
| killaz | danbhfive: old-laptop will be running partimaged | 23:12 |
| LegolasFaol | giusè | 23:12 |
| Fishscene | said* | 23:12 |
| mgolisch | you cant play games in vmware | 23:12 |
| Ish_nitti | crawley: i'll be on there in about an hour, i have to leave | 23:12 |
| LegolasFaol | clikka su #ubuntu-it | 23:12 |
| Ish_nitti | crawley: try disabling your raid 0 | 23:12 |
| crawley | Ish_nitti: ok | 23:12 |
| mgolisch | atleast nothing that need hardware acceleration | 23:12 |
| Y | Gralco: I don't know about that. I use http://www.gmx.com/ as an online e-mail server, then just have Evolution use that. | 23:12 |
| raz | mgolisch: Yeah, I want to start a game on my desktop, and then relay that to my laptop | 23:12 |
| jrib | s3a: no, the reason ubuntu doesn't get as fragmented as windows is because of the filesystem. If your just accessing your files on an ntfs partition through ubuntu, that isn't going to do any defragmentitg | 23:13 |
| danbhfive | killaz: sorry, im not familiar with partimage | 23:13 |
| Ish_nitti | bye guys :) | 23:13 |

| shinjin | I am setting up a gdesklet and was wondering where application icons were stored. Like the one for firefox. | 23:13 |
| duane_ | so does that mean I have to edit that line for my dvd drive ?? | 23:13 |
| jrib | s3a: there's nothing to defragment. It just would never get as fragmented if it was ext3 | 23:14 |

| duane_ | tzd do this sudo mv /usr/loca/bin/wine /usr/bin | 23:15 |

| suspended_an | please can someone help, when I try and boot up ubuntu it comes up with "starting up" and then the system freezes, no hdd activity or anything, any ideas? | 23:16 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, have you tried what I said? | 23:16 |
| Krepta | Do you know of any way I can see if my internal sound card isn't using my internal speakers because of the driver ubuntu automatically uses, or because the card itself is physically messed up? | 23:16 |
| suspended_an | I didn't know what you meant | 23:16 |
| mgolisch | raz:http://www.streammygame.com/smg/index.php i only know that | 23:17 |
| suspended_an | I've pressed escape to get onto the boot list and I know how to edit the parameters | 23:17 |
| mgolisch | but i think it recuires the streaming computer to be running windows | 23:17 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, perfect | 23:17 |
| suspended_an | but I dont know what the silent keyword is (I'm a complete noob at linux, I apologise!) | 23:17 |
| mgolisch | so that will only work for windows games | 23:17 |
| elmalafacha | does anyone knows how to make ubuntu detect a ENCORE ENLWI-G2 wireless card? the last version used tu do it perectly and when I chenged t the new version it doesnt | 23:17 |
| navetz | can somebody please help me with my apache LAMP server, I can not go to localhost unless I am online, I can't do work without an internet connection. | 23:17 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, you have to delete the quiet keyword | 23:17 |
| suspended_an | I dont know what that is | 23:18 |
| duane_ | do I need to mount my dvd drive before burning an image with growisofs? | 23:18 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, is in that parameters you can edit | 23:18 |
| danbhfive | navetz: do you own a domain? | 23:18 |
| suspended_an | when I edit the kernel paremeters, it comes up with: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16, then a series of jumbled letters and words, then at the ro quiet splash | 23:18 |
| lwizardl | hi | 23:18 |
| navetz | danbhfive: no I only use my laptop for testing | 23:19 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, after the kernel, that long long name, you have to scroll the line maybe | 23:19 |
| crawley | danza_secondo: do you know, will ubuntu run on a system in raid? | 23:19 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, ok you have to delete the quiet and splash | 23:19 |
| danbhfive | navetz: does 127.0.0.1 work? | 23:19 |
| lwizardl | how can i set file types to be used with programs? like *.cbr unpacks with rar | 23:19 |
| suspended_an | just tried it, still nothing | 23:19 |
| navetz | danbhfive: when I restart apache it goes to 127.0.1.1, and no 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1 both do not work offline | 23:19 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, delete that words... so the system will boot with extra debug informations for you, and for us!! | 23:19 |
| ekap | hello | 23:19 |
| Simonft1 | !hi | ekap | 23:19 |
| ubottu | ekap: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:19 |

| pascha | greetings to all ubuntu users! | 23:20 |
| ekap | is there any french channel on this server ? | 23:20 |
| Simonft1 | !fr | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 23:20 |
| suspended_an | it's still stuck on "starting up" and still no hdd activity | 23:20 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, nothing? nor some output? | 23:20 |
| ekap | thanks | 23:20 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, I see... | 23:20 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, Do you have a custom kernel? | 23:20 |
| Lynet | crawley: Depends on what kind of raid. As long as (1) the BIOS can read from the raid and (2) the initial Linux kernel image has drivers for the raid then yes you can boot from it. | 23:21 |
| danbhfive | navetz: well, sorry, I can't help. I'm never offline, since Im on a desktop | 23:21 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, do you compiled the kernel? | 23:21 |
| suspended_an | I downloaded it straight from the ubuntu website and burnt it to CD, I haven't changed it in any way | 23:21 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, ok, so it isn't custom | 23:21 |
| danbhfive | navetz: I assume you get a can't connect to server, error message | 23:21 |
| suspended_an | how do you mean compiled it? | 23:21 |
| danza_secondo | suspended_an, nah, don't care of it | 23:21 |
| navetz | danbhfive: yes | 23:22 |
| danza_secondo | sorry suspended_an I can't help you :( | 23:22 |
| suspended_an | danza_secondo: no worries, thanks anyway! | 23:22 |
| Felip1 | Hi | 23:23 |
| suspended_an | anyone else any ideas on why my system would be completely freezing up on "starting up"? | 23:23 |
| infinull | I'm having trouble with my logitech revolution mx mouse | 23:23 |
| Felip1 | I have the same problem! | 23:23 |
| suspended_an | as me? | 23:24 |
| infinull | It works fine with the "mouse" driver | 23:24 |
| Felip1 | yeah | 23:24 |
| Felip1 | I think it-s a problem with our video cards | 23:24 |
| suspended_an | mines an Nvidia Geforce FX5200 | 23:24 |
| Felip1 | because it seems to load ok, except for the video | 23:24 |
| suspended_an | when I ran ubuntu off the live CD it was completely fine | 23:24 |
| infinull | but when I try to use the evdev driver to remap the buttons to get a middle mouse button, quake4 and some other games no longer work | 23:24 |
| thrope | how can I access a webdav (https) share with ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| === alkaloid is now known as alkaloid123 | ||
| Felip1 | mmm I can't even use the live cd | 23:25 |
| jammin | Trouble with bacula install. bacula-director-mysql does not create the database like it should. Any ideas? | 23:25 |
| danbhfive | infinull: why do you need the evdev driver? | 23:25 |
| thrope | in the conncet to server menu there is no https option and putting the url into nautilus doesnt seem to work | 23:25 |
| === alkaloid123 is now known as alkaloid314 | ||
| thrope | is there any way to do this | 23:25 |
| infinull | I need the evdev driver to remap the thumb button to the middle mouse button | 23:26 |
| michael_ | i need to copy all files from a folder, into another folder | 23:26 |
| Felip1 | did you try to use the safe video mode? | 23:26 |
| jrib | thrope: file -> connect to server should work. I've used it in the past iirc. You can use 'cadaver' in a shell as an alternative if you want | 23:26 |
| suspended_an | felip1: mine is installed on the hdd, and it says that all of the kernels and everything are on there, yet when I try and boot them it says "starting up" and then the hdd light goes off | 23:26 |
| michael_ | i know cp -R copies entire folder, but how do i just get contents into an existing folder? | 23:26 |
| danbhfive | infinull: I just use an xmodmap file | 23:26 |
| michael_ | via terminal | 23:26 |
| thrope | jrib: there is only webdav (http) and the server is https | 23:26 |
| danbhfive | infinull: to do mouse button remapping | 23:26 |
| jrib | michael_: glob the contents: dir/* | 23:26 |
| infinull | ok | 23:26 |
| michael_ | i'm trying to avoid loggin in as root and just dragging them :0 | 23:26 |

| kthakore | my ipod is not showing up in rythmbox | 23:26 |
| infinull | I thought xmodmap only worked with evdev? | 23:26 |
| bchiasson | i have a razer lachesis mouse that has stopped working | 23:27 |
| infinull | (my xmodmap doesn't change, but the mappings only work with evddev) | 23:27 |
| maxb | michael_: but be aware that * excludes files that start with a dot (usually) | 23:27 |
| vemon | thrope, if none of the other options work you can use this: http://webfolder.mozdev.org/ | 23:27 |
| danbhfive | michael_ can you describe it more? | 23:27 |
| EnterUserName | can anyone help me? | 23:27 |
| bchiasson | the cursor is stuck at the top left of the screen | 23:27 |
| suspended_an | zvacet: any ideas for me by any chance :) | 23:27 |
| afallenhope | EnterUserName: what'st he issue | 23:27 |
| bchiasson | i have tried searching online, but I have come to the sad realization that web browsers are meant for mice | 23:28 |
| afallenhope | Anyone know if the "autoremove" feature in apt-get is okay to use because I just used it lol. I didn't know what was being used or not it said that things weren't | 23:28 |
| EnterUserName | afallenhope: I've installed aide on my system however either the configuration by default is not proper or i messed it up myself. I want to reset my aide configuration back to ubuntu defaults | 23:28 |
| vemon | thrope, oh.. the link i gave you points to a firefox extension calles webfolder which is able to read webdav shares | 23:28 |
| danbhfive | infinull: well, I think I used the evdev driver on gutsy. When I upgraded to hardy, my mouse stopped working, and I was forced to go back to the 'mouse' driver. But, my xmodmap contniues to work | 23:28 |
| michael_ | jrib dir/* ie cp usr/share/fonts/mstruetype usr/share/wine/fonts | 23:28 |

| EnterUserName | So i need the command to reinstall the "default" configuration of a program. | 23:28 |
| infinull | the thumb button is button 17 | 23:28 |
| michael_ | danbhfive i need to copy all fonts from /usr/share/fonts to usr/share/wine/fonts | 23:28 |
| infinull | and the mouse driver only supports ? amount of buttons, but I guess its less than 17 | 23:28 |
| jrib | michael_: if you want to copy the contents of "dir" to "dir2", you do: cp dir/* dir2 . If you need hidden files too, glob them with .* | 23:29 |
| fdsss | what does this mean use simple I/O redirection and pipe | 23:29 |
| danbhfive | michael_ maybe try cp /usr/share/fonts/* /usr/share/wine/fonts/. | 23:29 |
| afallenhope | sorry EnterUserName that's out of my league | 23:29 |

| jammin | Has anyone successfully setup bacula in Hardy? | 23:30 |
| jrib | thrope: hmm, the https option used to exist. May be because of the new gvfs stuff | 23:30 |

| p1t2f0id3 | Hello, my usb pen drive works perfect (ubuntu Hardy), but there is no entry in /proc/bus/usb/ ...is that a normal behaviour ? | 23:31 |

| crawley | zvacet: will this install on a sys running in raid 0 | 23:33 |
| afallenhope | does wine pretty much run anything? | 23:33 |
| jammin | dpkg-reconfigure "packagename" will give you a new interview, like an initial install does | 23:33 |

| fdsss | what does this mean "use simple I/O redirection and pipes" | 23:36 |
| zvacet | crawley : wubi is just another way to install Ubuntu so if you use wubi then you have Ubuntu installed (inside windows I think) | 23:36 |
| p1t2f0id3 | gtT, go to www.italkpc.blogspot.com, there is your case | 23:36 |

| danbhfive | fdsss: whats the context? | 23:36 |
| David-A | hfp: change setting in your display, you have a glass display i assume (not a flat) | 23:36 |

| illriginal | hfp, maybe David-A has something... see if he's able to help you. | 23:37 |
| afallenhope | gtT: is it an HP laptop? | 23:37 |

| NikLP | erm specifically I'm running MS VirtualPC 2007 with a 1.5GB disk, install fails like "an installation step failed .. select and install software" should I make the virtual disk bigger? (VPC said it would auto-grow it, but I'm not sure) | 23:38 |
| afallenhope | gtT: if it's an HP laptop just message me I do text support for them lmao | 23:38 |
| hfp | Hey, David. I have a 20 inch HP flat screen. HP w2007 to be exact. | 23:38 |
| jammin | fdsss bit-bucket = /dev/null, aka "black hole of nothingness never to be seen again" | 23:38 |
| zvacet | crawley : any relation with Aleister | 23:38 |

| David-A | hfp: flat, ok, then i dont think its in the screen. | 23:39 |
| danbhfive | illriginal: is there a specific problem that you can put your finger on? | 23:40 |
| SeaPhor | afallenhope, gtT , and I work for HP in the testing dept, laptops :-) | 23:40 |
| jammin | Should I hit up another channel with my "bacula install fails" issue? | 23:40 |
| pitsN | my ubuntu does not have option of 1440*900 -- and my screen scratched wider, how can i fix it ? | 23:40 |
| afallenhope | I'm in KV lol | 23:40 |
| afallenhope | SeaPhor: what Team? | 23:41 |
| jammin | It appears to be Hardy specific. Had no problems in Gutsy... even though then it was a "universe" package and now it is official. | 23:41 |
| zvacet | Felip1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 23:41 |
| SeaPhor | mit afallenhope | 23:41 |
| hfp | I have a feeling there is some setting that I need to change in ubuntu, but I can't adjust the effects. | 23:41 |
| SeaPhor | afallenhope, in Houston | 23:41 |
| p1t2f0id3 | have somebody try to make a Novatel U727 works with Hardy, I don't see it under /proc/bus/usb | 23:41 |
| afallenhope | SeaPhor: nice, we're KV in Alberta | 23:41 |
| afallenhope | SeaPhor: work with Stream? | 23:42 |
| David-A | hfp: is the resolution in display settings the same as the display? are the pixels blurry and bigger than they should be? | 23:42 |
| gtT | SeaPhor, tell me, just by curiosity, did I make a bad deal with this dv6000? it was very cheap, but im not convinced, that it will last for long... | 23:42 |
| illriginal | danbhfive well.. my amarok seems buggy when it opens and loads up all my tracks (over 15k tracks) and my firefox freezes up for no apparent reason | 23:42 |
| Felip1 | : I don't get video at startup. All I see is the ubuntu loading bar, and then all blank. Somebody help | 23:43 |
| Y | Pleez hep! I knoh sumfing iz wong, butt eye kan't figyoor oot watt! | 23:43 |

| hfp | David-A, how do I see the display settings? | 23:43 |
| Y | Pici: It was in english. | 23:43 |
| Pici | Y: could have fooled me | 23:43 |
| zvacet | Felip1: did you look at link I sand to you? | 23:43 |
| afallenhope | gtT: to be honest... I have a dv6000 too.. you're better off with a DV9000 | 23:44 |
| Y | Pici: lol | 23:44 |
| David-A | hfp: system > settings (i'm in xubuntu so i cant help you with all details, but there should be a menu to select 1400x1050, 800x600, etc) | 23:45 |
| keithclark | I have to type three modprobe statements to get my wireless card to startup everytime I boot my computer. Where is the best place to put those so that it is automatically done for me upon booting up? | 23:45 |
| SeaPhor | gtT, no, I think thats a decent unit unless it was cheap because it was messed up, was it a refurb or something? | 23:45 |
| afallenhope | !wine | 23:45 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 23:45 |
| hfp | No problem, David-A. I found the resolution settings and they are correct. | 23:46 |
| zvacet | hfp : system>preferences<screen resolution | 23:46 |
| anabolix | would it be unwise to run a server version of 8.04? do i lose any functionality doing so? and considering im running 8.04 desktop edition on my machine... should i expect the same from the server? | 23:46 |
| legend2440 | keithclark: /etc/modules | 23:46 |
| illriginal | maybe monitor is not compatible? o.O | 23:47 |
| gtT | SeaPhor, no, it was from the store... it has only few problems... loud, gets hot, etc. but nothing serious | 23:47 |
| keithclark | legend2440: And what file to modify? | 23:47 |
| FluxD | Hi, what does this error mean? "can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory" | 23:47 |
| ubuntu | David-A, are you still there? Sorry, I had to minimize and I lost the window. | 23:47 |
| illriginal | lol | 23:48 |
| David-A | hfp: hello | 23:48 |
| legend2440 | keithclark: modules is name of file to modify | 23:48 |
| s3a | the lower the swappiness value, the less the swap will be accessed? | 23:48 |
| anabolix | would it be unwise to run a server version of 8.04? do i lose any functionality doing so? and considering im running 8.04 desktop edition on my machine... should i expect the same from the server?????? | 23:48 |
| psyber | anyone in here know how to get php 5 working with apache2? | 23:48 |
| danbhfive | !lamp > psyber | 23:48 |
| illriginal | im starting to think that maybe compiz is simply ruining my performance and causing bugs with certain programs. | 23:49 |
| ubuntu | David-A, great. So the setting is correct, as far as I can tell, but the text is still a little blurry and not nearly as sharp as it was on vista. | 23:49 |
| keithclark | legend2440: Got you! And I would add the entire lines that I currently type in by hand? Right now the file has 3 "ndiswrapper" lines. That is all that is on those lines. | 23:49 |
| SeaPhor | gtT, yeah i remember there being an issue with loud, make very sure you use canned air and blow out all the air-flow vents- Very Often! | 23:49 |
| illriginal | you can change font setting | 23:49 |
| psyber | danbhfive: ? | 23:49 |
| matthew_ | hey, I can't seem to add facebook apps with firefox anymore... any one know how I could fix this? | 23:50 |
| psyber | danbhfive: NM i see it | 23:50 |
| David-A | ubuntu: are any part of the desktop still outside the screen? | 23:50 |
| zvacet | anabolix : I don´t see why not I never try it because i don´t need it you can install server frrom synaptic>edit tab>mark packages by task<LAMP | 23:50 |
| gtT | SeaPhor, thx. hope it will help. | 23:50 |
| FluxD | matthew_, girefox v3 is not perfect go download v2 | 23:50 |
| illriginal | damn it's so pretty though FluxD. But it has frozen up on me 4 times already.. | 23:50 |
| European-African | what keys do I use for compiz-cube? | 23:50 |
| Rixon- | anybody here installed vbox PUEL .deb on ubuntu 8.04 hardy? it didnt put a link in my applications menu, what do i do? | 23:51 |
| SeaPhor | gtT, and if possible, block up the rear of it just a bit, to increase airflow | 23:51 |
| FluxD | lol illriginal thats why its called beta ;) | 23:51 |
| wells_ | i'm having a non-funny bug with ubuntu or firefox ...wen I get to a specific web page my session is close out and i'm returned to loging page!!!!! how and wy is a web page can turn off my session. | 23:51 |
| illriginal | lol yeah i know. | 23:51 |
| illriginal | too bad they don't have some sort of error report option. | 23:51 |
| ubuntu | David, this window is taking up the whole screen except for the Applications / Places / System bar at the top, but there is no bar at the bottom. | 23:51 |
| illriginal | so we can send them data about the error | 23:51 |
| legend2440 | keithclark: sorry that file is to list modules to load at boot time. if these are three commands i think you have to enter them some where else. not sure | 23:51 |
| Anfaenger | hello, i have a question: what must i do to close an windows with a doubleclick on the icon on the left side? i cant find an option to do this. | 23:52 |
| SDr | hm | 23:52 |
| European-African | what keys do I use for compiz-cube? | 23:52 |
| JabberWalkie | illriginal: in my experience, compiz is not worth the headache | 23:52 |
| SDr | does the command-line FTP support continuing aborted downloads? | 23:52 |
| Rixon- | European-African: you configure it with compizconfig | 23:52 |
| Rixon- | default is ctrl alt click | 23:52 |
| European-African | JabberWalkie: why? | 23:52 |
| Rixon- | drag | 23:52 |
| illriginal | damn... i have avant window manager, and I don't know how to get it to work without cmopiz. I believe it needs such a progrm to run.. | 23:52 |
| Rixon- | i think | 23:52 |
| legend2440 | keithclark: what commands do you enter? | 23:52 |
| keithclark | legend2440: understood. Thanks for trying. I actually have to remove two and add one back in again. Nothing else seems to work with these wireless cards. | 23:52 |
| SnakeArt | Hi,everyone! | 23:53 |

| JabberWalkie | even though I followed installation prodedure to the letter... | 23:53 |
| keithclark | legend2440: believe it or not, it is the only thing that works | 23:53 |
| European-African | JabberWalkie: I hope it works for me! it looks good | 23:53 |
| illriginal | yeah it does. I love FFv3 | 23:54 |
| afallenhope | it brings up the shutdown menu | 23:54 |
| JabberWalkie | European-African: it very well might, it seems that some people have no problems with it | 23:54 |
| gaupster | I'm trying to run an app called Disk Managment to mount my ntsc drives - but it won't let me run it... "There are no file systems which you are allowed to mount or unmount. Contact your admin" How can I give myself rights to do that? | 23:54 |
| Rixon- | ctrl alt delete for me just brings up teh shut down / log out / switch user / etc thing like clicking the 'power' button top right panel | 23:54 |
| legend2440 | keithclark: are those 3 in the modules file? | 23:54 |
| gtT | SeaPhor, yeah, i do it sometimes when it gets too hot. btw, is there a way to change the prompt of the quicklounch touch-button in ubuntu? in vista i couldnt... | 23:54 |
| anabolix | i currently have desktop edition installed on my laptop, im happy with the way things are running... but i recently DLed the server edition and have burned it to a disc... and ive been given the option to upgrade once i put the disc in... so the question is... will i loose anything? or will it just add itself onto my system while preserving current environment? | 23:54 |
| Rixon- | anybody here installed vbox PUEL .deb on ubuntu 8.04 hardy? it didnt put a link in my applications menu, what do i do? | 23:54 |
| keithclark | legend2440: my modules file has only 7 items and 3 of those are ndiswrapper | 23:55 |
